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

454
------------------
455
456
This release of Bazaar includes several updates to the documentation, and fixes
457
to prepare for making rich root support the default format. Many bugs have been
458
squashed, including fixes to log, bzr+ssh inter-operation with older servers.
459
460
CHANGES:
461
462
* Suppress deprecation warnings when bzrlib is a 'final' release. This way
463
users of packaged software won't be bothered with DeprecationWarnings,
464
but developers and testers will still see them. (John Arbash Meinel)
465
466
DOCUMENTATION:
467
468
* Incorporate feedback from Jelmer Vernooij and Neil Martinsen-Burrell
469
on the plugin and integration chapters of the User Guide.

---------------------
475
476
NOTES WHEN UPGRADING:
477
478
CHANGES:
479
480
* Broader support of GNU Emacs mail clients. Set
481
``mail_client=emacsclient`` in your bazaar.conf and ``send`` will pop the
482
bundle in a mail buffer according to the value of ``mail-user-agent``
483
variable. (Xavier Maillard)
484
485
FEATURES:
486
487
IMPROVEMENTS:
488
489
* Diff now handles revision specs like "branch:" and "submit:" more
490
efficiently. (Aaron Bentley, #202928)
491
492
* More friendly error given when attempt to start the smart server
493
on an address already in use. (Andrea Corbellini, #200575)
494
495
* Pull completes much faster when there is nothing to pull.
496
(Aaron Bentley)
497
498
BUGFIXES:
499
500
* Authentication.conf can define sections without password.
501
(Vincent Ladeuil, #199440)
502
503
* Avoid muttering every time a child update does not cause a progress bar
504
update. (John Arbash Meinel, #213771)
505
506
* ``Branch.reconcile()`` is now implemented. This allows ``bzr reconcile``
507
to fix when a Branch has a non-canonical mainline history. ``bzr check``
508
also detects this condition. (John Arbash Meinel, #177855)
509
510
* ``bzr log -r ..X bzr://`` was failing, because it was getting a request
511
for ``revision_id=None`` which was not a string.
512
(John Arbash Meinel, #211661)
513
514
* ``bzr commit`` now works with Microsoft's FTP service.
515
(Andreas Deininger)
516
517
* Catch definitions outside sections in authentication.conf.
518
(Vincent Ladeuil, #217650)
519
520
* Conversion from non-rich-root to rich-root(-pack) updates inventory
521
sha1s, even when bundles are used. (Aaron Bentley, #181391)
522
523
* Conversion from non-rich-root to rich-root(-pack) works correctly even
524
though search keys are not topologically sorted. (Aaron Bentley)
525
526
* Conversion from non-rich-root to rich-root(-pack) works even when a
527
parent revision has a different root id. (Aaron Bentley, #177874)
528
529
* Disable strace testing until strace is fixed (see bug #103133) and emit a
530
warning when selftest ends to remind us of leaking tests.
531
(Vincent Ladeuil, #226769)
532
533
* Fetching all revisions from a repository does not cause pack collisions.
534
(Robert Collins, Aaron Bentley, #212908)
535
536
* Fix error about "attempt to add line-delta in non-delta knit".
537
(Andrew Bennetts, #217701)
538
539
* Pushing a branch in "dirstate" format (Branch5) over bzr+ssh would break
540
if the remote server was < version 1.2. This was due to a bug in the
541
RemoteRepository.get_parent_map() fallback code.
542
(John Arbash Meinel, #214894)
543
544
* Remove leftover code in ``bzr_branch`` that inappropriately creates
545
a ``branch-name`` file in the branch control directory.
546
(Martin Pool)
547
548
* Set SO_REUSEADDR on server sockets of ``bzr serve`` to avoid problems
549
rebinding the socket when starting the server a second time.
550
(John Arbash Meinel, Martin Pool, #164288)
551
552
* Severe performance degradation in fetching from knit repositories to
553
knits and packs due to parsing the entire revisions.kndx on every graph
554
walk iteration fixed by using the Repository.get_graph API. There was
555
another regression in knit => knit fetching which re-read the index for
556
every revision each side had in common.
557
(Robert Collins, John Arbash Meinel)
558
559
* When logging the changes to a particular file, there was a bug if there
560
were ghosts in the revision ancestry. (John Arbash Meinel, #209948)
561
562
* xs4all's ftp server returns a temporary error when trying to list an
563
empty directory, rather than returning an empty list. Adding a
564
workaround so that we don't get spurious failures.
565
(John Arbash Meinel, #215522)
566
567
DOCUMENTATION:
568
569
* Expanded the User Guide to include new chapters on popular plugins and
570
integrating Bazaar into your environment. The *Best practices* chapter
571
was renamed to *Miscellaneous topics* as suggested by community
572
feedback as well. (Ian Clatworthy)
573
574
* Document outlining strategies for TortoiseBzr. (Mark Hammond)
575
576
* Improved the documentation on hooks. (Ian Clatworthy)
577
578
* Update authentication docs regarding ssh agents.
579
(Vincent Ladeuil, #183705)
580
581
TESTING:
582
583
* Add ``thread_name_suffix`` parameter to SmartTCPServer_for_testing, to
584
make it easy to identify which test spawned a thread with an unhandled
585
exception. (Andrew Bennetts)
586
587
* New ``--debugflag``/``-E`` option to ``bzr selftest`` for setting
588
options for debugging tests, these are complementary to the the -D
589
options. The ``-Dselftest_debug`` global option has been replaced by the
590
``-E=allow_debug`` option for selftest. (Andrew Bennetts)
591
592
* Parameterised test ids are preserved correctly to aid diagnosis of test
593
failures. (Robert Collins, Andrew Bennetts)
594
595
* selftest now accepts --starting-with <id> to load only the tests whose id
596
starts with the one specified. This greatly speeds up running the test
597
suite on a limited set of tests and can be used to run the tests for a
598
single module, a single class or even a single test. (Vincent Ladeuil)
599
600
* The test suite modules have been modified to define load_tests() instead
601
of test_suite(). That speeds up selective loading (via --load-list)
602
significantly and provides many examples on how to migrate (grep for
603
load_tests). (Vincent Ladeuil)
604
605
INTERNALS:
606
607
* ``Hooks.install_hook`` is now deprecated in favour of
608
``Hooks.install_named_hook`` which adds a required ``name`` parameter, to
609
avoid having to call ``Hooks.name_hook``. (Daniel Watkins)
610
611
* Implement xml8 serializer. (Aaron Bentley)
612
613
* New form ``@deprecated_method(deprecated_in(1, 5, 0))`` for making
614
deprecation wrappers. (Martin Pool)
615
616
* ``Repository.revision_parents`` is now deprecated in favour of
617
``Repository.get_parent_map([revid])[revid]``. (Jelmer Vernooij)
618
619
* The Python ``assert`` statement is no longer used in Bazaar source, and
620
a test checks this. (Martin Pool)
621
622
API CHANGES:
623
624
* ``bzrlib.status.show_pending_merges`` requires the repository to be
625
locked by the caller. Callers should have been doing it anyway, but it
626
will now raise an exception if they do not. (John Arbash Meinel)
627
628
* Repository.get_data_stream, Repository.get_data_stream_for_search(),
629
Repository.get_deltas_for_revsions(), Repository.revision_trees(),
630
Repository.item_keys_introduced_by() no longer take read locks.
631
(Aaron Bentley)
632
633
* ``LockableFiles.get_utf8`` and ``.get`` are deprecated, as a start
634
towards removing LockableFiles and ``.control_files`` entirely.
635
(Martin Pool)
636
637
* Methods deprecated prior to 1.1 have been removed.

bzr 1.4 2008-04-28
642
------------------
643
644
This release of Bazaar includes handy improvements to the speed of log and
645
status, new options for several commands, improved documentation, and better
646
hooks, including initial code for server-side hooks. A number of bugs have
647
been fixed, particularly in interoperability between different formats or
648
different releases of Bazaar over there network. There's been substantial
649
internal work in both the repository and network code to enable new features
650
and faster performance.
651
652
BUG FIXES:
653
654
* Pushing a branch in "dirstate" format (Branch5) over bzr+ssh would break
655
if the remote server was < version 1.2. This was due to a bug in the
656
RemoteRepository.get_parent_map() fallback code.

bzr 1.4rc2 2008-04-21
661
---------------------
662
663
BUG FIXES:
664
665
* ``bzr log -r ..X bzr://`` was failing, because it was getting a request
666
for ``revision_id=None`` which was not a string.
667
(John Arbash Meinel, #211661)
668
669
* Fixed a bug in handling ghost revisions when logging changes in a
670
particular file. (John Arbash Meinel, #209948)
671
672
* Fix error about "attempt to add line-delta in non-delta knit".
673
(Andrew Bennetts, #205156)
674
675
* Fixed performance degradation in fetching from knit repositories to
676
knits and packs due to parsing the entire revisions.kndx on every graph
677
walk iteration fixed by using the Repository.get_graph API. There was
678
another regression in knit => knit fetching which re-read the index for

bzr 1.4rc1 2008-04-11
684
---------------------
685
686
CHANGES:
687
688
* bzr main script cannot be imported (Benjamin Peterson)
689
690
* On Linux bzr additionally looks for plugins in arch-independent site
691
directory. (Toshio Kuratomi)
692
693
* The ``set_rh`` branch hook is now deprecated. Please migrate
694
any plugins using this hook to use an alternative, e.g.
695
``post_change_branch_tip``. (Ian Clatworthy)
696
697
* When a plugin cannot be loaded as the file path is not a valid
698
python module name bzr will now strip a ``bzr_`` prefix from the
699
front of the suggested name, as many plugins (e.g. bzr-svn)
700
want to be installed without this prefix. It is a common mistake
701
to have a folder named "bzr-svn" for that plugin, especially
702
as this is what bzr branch lp:bzr-svn will give you. (James Westby,
703
Andrew Cowie)
704
705
* UniqueIntegerBugTracker now appends bug-ids instead of joining
706
them to the base URL. Plugins that register bug trackers may
707
need a trailing / added to the base URL if one is not already there.
708
(James Wesby, Andrew Cowie)
709
710
FEATURES:
711
712
* Added start_commit hook for mutable trees. (Jelmer Vernooij, #186422)
713
714
* ``status`` now accepts ``--no-pending`` to show the status without
715
listing pending merges, which speeds up the command a lot on large
716
histories. (James Westby, #202830)
717
718
* New ``post_change_branch_tip`` hook that is called after the
719
branch tip is moved but while the branch is still write-locked.
720
See the User Reference for signature details.
721
(Ian Clatworthy, James Henstridge)
722
723
* Reconfigure can convert a branch to be standalone or to use a shared
724
repository. (Aaron Bentley)
725
726
IMPROVEMENTS:
727
728
* The smart protocol now has support for setting branches' revision info
729
directly. This should make operations like push slightly faster, and is a
730
step towards server-side hooks. The new request method name is
731
``Branch.set_last_revision_info``. (Andrew Bennetts)
732
733
* ``bzr commit --fixes`` now recognises "gnome" as a tag by default.
734
(James Westby, Andrew Cowie)
735
736
* ``bzr switch`` will attempt to find branches to switch to relative to the
737
current branch. E.g. ``bzr switch branchname`` will look for
738
``current_branch/../branchname``. (Robert Collins, Jelmer Vernooij,
739
Wouter van Heyst)
740
741
* Diff is now more specific about execute-bit changes it describes
742
(Chad Miller)
743
744
* Fetching data over HTTP is a bit faster when urllib is used. This is done
745
by forcing it to recv 64k at a time when reading lines in HTTP headers,
746
rather than just 1 byte at a time. (Andrew Bennetts)
747
748
* Log --short and --line are much faster when -r is not specified.
749
(Aaron Bentley)
750
751
* Merge is faster. We no longer check a file's existence unnecessarily
752
when merging the execute bit. (Aaron Bentley)
753
754
* ``bzr status`` on an explicit list of files no longer shows pending
755
merges, making it much faster on large trees. (John Arbash Meinel)
756
757
* The launchpad directory service now warns the user if they have not set
758
their launchpad login and are trying to resolve a URL using it, just
759
in case they want to do a write operation with it. (James Westby)
760
761
* The smart protocol client is slightly faster, because it now only queries
762
the server for the protocol version once per connection. Also, the HTTP
763
transport will now automatically probe for and use a smart server if
764
one is present. You can use the new ``nosmart+`` transport decorator
765
to get the old behaviour. (Andrew Bennetts)
766
767
* The ``version`` command takes a ``--short`` option to print just the
768
version number, for easier use in scripts. (Martin Pool)
769
770
* Various operations with revision specs and commands that calculate
771
revnos and revision ids are faster. (John A. Meinel, Aaron Bentley)
772
773
BUGFIXES:
774
775
* Add ``root_client_path`` parameter to SmartWSGIApp and
776
SmartServerRequest. This makes it possible to publish filesystem
777
locations that don't exactly match URL paths. SmartServerRequest
778
subclasses should use the new ``translate_client_path`` and
779
``transport_from_client_path`` methods when dealing with paths received
780
from a client to take this into account. (Andrew Bennetts, #124089)
781
782
* ``bzr mv a b`` can be now used also to rename previously renamed
783
directories, not only files. (Lukáš Lalinský, #107967)
784
785
* ``bzr uncommit --local`` can now remove revisions from the local
786
branch to be symmetric with ``bzr commit --local``.
787
(John Arbash Meinel, #93412)
788
789
* Don't ask for a password if there is no real terminal.
790
(Alexander Belchenko, #69851)
791
792
* Fix a bug causing a ValueError crash in ``parse_line_delta_iter`` when
793
fetching revisions from a knit to pack repository or vice versa using
794
bzr:// (including over http or ssh).
795
(#208418, Andrew Bennetts, Martin Pool, Robert Collins)
796
797
* Fixed ``_get_line`` in ``bzrlib.smart.medium``, which was buggy. Also
798
fixed ``_get_bytes`` in the same module to use the push back buffer.
799
These bugs had no known impact in normal use, but were problematic for
800
developers working on the code, and were likely to cause real bugs sooner
801
or later. (Andrew Bennetts)
802
803
* Implement handling of basename parameter for DefaultMail. (James Westby)
804
805
* Incompatibility with Paramiko versions newer than 1.7.2 was fixed.
806
(Andrew Bennetts, #213425)
807
808
* Launchpad locations (lp: URLs) can be pulled. (Aaron Bentley, #181945)
809
810
* Merges that add files to deleted root directories complete. They
811
do create conflicts. (Aaron Bentley, #210092)
812
813
* vsftp's return ``550 RNFR command failed.`` supported.
814
(Marcus Trautwig, #129786)
815
816
DOCUMENTATION:
817
818
* Improved documentation on send/merge relationship. (Peter Schuller)
819
820
* Minor fixes to the User Guide. (Matthew Fuller)
821
822
* Reduced the evangelism in the User Guide. (Ian Clatworthy)
823
824
* Added Integrating with Bazaar document for developers (Martin Albisetti)
825
826
API BREAKS:
827
828
* Attempting to pull data from a ghost aware repository (e.g. knits) into a
829
non-ghost aware repository such as weaves will now fail if there are
830
ghosts. (Robert Collins)
831
832
* ``KnitVersionedFile`` no longer accepts an ``access_mode`` parameter, and
833
now requires the ``index`` and ``access_method`` parameters to be
834
supplied. A compatible shim has been kept in the new function
835
``knit.make_file_knit``. (Robert Collins)
836
837
* Log formatters must now provide log_revision instead of show and
838
show_merge_revno methods. The latter had been deprecated since the 0.17
839
release. (James Westby)
840
841
* ``LoopbackSFTP`` is now called ``SocketAsChannelAdapter``.
842
(Andrew Bennetts)
843
844
* ``osutils.backup_file`` is removed. (Alexander Belchenko)
845
846
* ``Repository.get_revision_graph`` is deprecated, with no replacement
847
method. The method was size(history) and not desirable. (Robert Collins)
848
849
* ``revision.revision_graph`` is deprecated, with no replacement function.
850
The function was size(history) and not desirable. (Robert Collins)
851
852
* ``Transport.get_shared_medium`` is deprecated. Use
853
``Transport.get_smart_medium`` instead. (Andrew Bennetts)
854
855
* ``VersionedFile`` factories now accept a get_scope parameter rather
856
than using a call to ``transaction_finished``, allowing the removal of
857
the fixed list of versioned files per repository. (Robert Collins)
858
859
* ``VersionedFile.annotate_iter`` is deprecated. While in principle this
860
allowed lower memory use, all users of annotations wanted full file
861
annotations, and there is no storage format suitable for incremental
862
line-by-line annotation. (Robert Collins)
863
864
* ``VersionedFile.clone_text`` is deprecated. This performance optimisation
865
is no longer used - reading the content of a file that is undergoing a
866
file level merge to identical state on two branches is rare enough, and
867
not expensive enough to special case. (Robert Collins)
868
869
* ``VersionedFile.clear_cache`` and ``enable_cache`` are deprecated.
870
These methods added significant complexity to the ``VersionedFile``
871
implementation, but were only used for optimising fetches from knits -
872
which can be done from outside the knit layer, or via a caching
873
decorator. As knits are not the default format, the complexity is no
874
longer worth paying. (Robert Collins)
875
876
* ``VersionedFile.create_empty`` is removed. This method presupposed a
877
sensible mapping to a transport for individual files, but pack backed
878
versioned files have no such mapping. (Robert Collins)
879
880
* ``VersionedFile.get_graph`` is deprecated, with no replacement method.
881
The method was size(history) and not desirable. (Robert Collins)
882
883
* ``VersionedFile.get_graph_with_ghosts`` is deprecated, with no
884
replacement method. The method was size(history) and not desirable.
885
(Robert Collins)
886
887
* ``VersionedFile.get_parents`` is deprecated, please use
888
``VersionedFile.get_parent_map``. (Robert Collins)
889
890
* ``VersionedFile.get_sha1`` is deprecated, please use
891
``VersionedFile.get_sha1s``. (Robert Collins)
892
893
* ``VersionedFile.has_ghost`` is now deprecated, as it is both expensive
894
and unused outside of a single test. (Robert Collins)
895
896
* ``VersionedFile.iter_parents`` is now deprecated in favour of
897
``get_parent_map`` which can be used to instantiate a Graph on a
898
VersionedFile. (Robert Collins)
899
900
* ``VersionedFileStore`` no longer uses the transaction parameter given
901
to most methods; amongst other things this means that the
902
get_weave_or_empty method no longer guarantees errors on a missing weave
903
in a readonly transaction, and no longer caches versioned file instances
904
which reduces memory pressure (but requires more careful management by
905
callers to preserve performance). (Robert Collins)
906
907
TESTING:
908
909
* New -Dselftest_debug flag disables clearing of the debug flags during
910
tests. This is useful if you want to use e.g. -Dhpss to help debug a
911
failing test. Be aware that using this feature is likely to cause
912
spurious test failures if used with the full suite. (Andrew Bennetts)
913
914
* selftest --load-list now uses a new more agressive test loader that will
915
avoid loading unneeded modules and building their tests. Plugins can use
916
this new loader by defining a load_tests function instead of a test_suite
917
function. (a forthcoming patch will provide many examples on how to
918
implement this).
919
(Vincent Ladeuil)
920
921
* selftest --load-list now does some sanity checks regarding duplicate test
922
IDs and tests present in the list but not found in the actual test suite.
923
(Vincent Ladeuil)
924
925
* Slightly more concise format for the selftest progress bar, so there's
926
more space to show the test name. (Martin Pool) ::
927
928
[2500/10884, 1fail, 3miss in 1m29s] test_revisionnamespaces.TestRev
929
930
* The test suite takes much less memory to run, and is a bit faster. This
931
is done by clearing most attributes of TestCases after running them, if
932
they succeeded. (Andrew Bennetts)
933
934
INTERNALS:
935
936
* Added ``_build_client_protocol`` to ``_SmartClient``. (Andrew Bennetts)
937
938
* Added basic infrastructure for automatic plugin suggestion.
939
(Martin Albisetti)
940
941
* If a ``LockableFiles`` object is not explicitly unlocked (for example
942
because of a missing ``try/finally`` block, it will give a warning but
943
not automatically unlock itself. (Previously they did.) This
944
sometimes caused knock-on errors if for example the network connection
945
had already failed, and should not be relied upon by code.
946
(Martin Pool, #109520)
947
948
* ``make dist`` target to build a release tarball, and also
949
``check-dist-tarball`` and ``dist-upload-escudero``. (Martin Pool)
950
951
* The ``read_response_tuple`` method of ``SmartClientRequestProtocol*``
952
classes will now raise ``UnknownSmartMethod`` when appropriate, so that
953
callers don't need to try distinguish unknown request errors from other
954
errors. (Andrew Bennetts)
955
956
* ``set_make_working_trees`` is now implemented provided on all repository
957
implementations (Aaron Bentley)
958
959
* ``VersionedFile`` now has a new method ``get_parent_map`` which, like
960
``Graph.get_parent_map`` returns a dict of key:parents. (Robert Collins)

BUG FIXES:
973
974
* Fix a bug causing a ValueError crash in ``parse_line_delta_iter`` when
975
fetching revisions from a knit to pack repository or vice versa using
976
bzr:// (including over http or ssh).

bzr 1.3 2008-03-20
981
------------------
982
983
Bazaar has become part of the GNU project <http://www.gnu.org>
984
985
Many operations that act on history, including ``log`` and ``annotate`` are now
986
substantially faster. Several bugs have been fixed and several new options and
987
features have been added.
988
989
TESTING:
990
991
* Avoid spurious failure of ``TestVersion.test_version`` matching
992
directory names.

NOTES WHEN UPGRADING:
1000
1001
* The backup directory created by ``upgrade`` is now called
1002
``backup.bzr``, not ``.bzr.backup``. (Martin Albisetti)
1003
1004
CHANGES:
1005
1006
* A new repository format 'development' has been added. This format will
1007
represent the latest 'in-progress' format that the bzr developers are
1008
interested in getting early-adopter testing and feedback on.
1009
``doc/developers/development-repo.txt`` has detailed information.
1010
(Robert Collins)
1011
1012
* BZR_LOG environment variable controls location of .bzr.log trace file.
1013
User can suppress writing messages to .bzr.log by using '/dev/null'
1014
filename (on Linux) or 'NUL' (on Windows). If BZR_LOG variable
1015
is not defined but BZR_HOME is defined then default location
1016
for .bzr.log trace file is ``$BZR_HOME/.bzr.log``.
1017
(Alexander Belchenko)
1018
1019
* ``launchpad`` builtin plugin now shipped as separate part in standalone
1020
bzr.exe, installed to ``C:\Program Files\Bazaar\plugins`` directory,
1021
and standalone installer allows user to skip installation of this plugin.
1022
(Alexander Belchenko)
1023
1024
* Restore auto-detection of plink.exe on Windows. (Dmitry Vasiliev)
1025
1026
* Version number is now shown as "1.2" or "1.2pr2", without zeroed or
1027
missing final fields. (Martin Pool)
1028
1029
FEATURES:
1030
1031
* ``branch`` and ``checkout`` can hard-link working tree files, which is
1032
faster and saves space. (Aaron Bentley)
1033
1034
* ``bzr send`` will now also look at the ``child_submit_to`` setting in
1035
the submit branch to determine the email address to send to.
1036
(Jelmer Vernooij)
1037
1038
IMPROVEMENTS:
1039
1040
* BzrBranch._lefthand_history is faster on pack repos. (Aaron Bentley)
1041
1042
* Branch6.generate_revision_history is faster. (Aaron Bentley)
1043
1044
* Directory services can now be registered, allowing special URLs to be
1045
dereferenced into real URLs. This is a generalization and cleanup of
1046
the lp: transport lookup. (Aaron Bentley)
1047
1048
* Merge directives that are automatically attached to emails have nicer
1049
filenames, based on branch-nick + revno. (Aaron Bentley)
1050
1051
* ``push`` has a ``--revision`` option, to specify what revision to push up
1052
to. (Daniel Watkins)
1053
1054
* Significantly reducing execution time and network traffic for trivial
1055
case of running ``bzr missing`` command for two identical branches.
1056
(Alexander Belchenko)
1057
1058
* Speed up operations that look at the revision graph (such as 'bzr log').
1059
``KnitPackRepositor.get_revision_graph`` uses ``Graph.iter_ancestry`` to
1060
extract the revision history. This allows filtering ghosts while
1061
stepping instead of needing to peek ahead. (John Arbash Meinel)
1062
1063
* The ``hooks`` command lists installed hooks, to assist in debugging.
1064
(Daniel Watkins)
1065
1066
* Updates to how ``annotate`` work. Should see a measurable improvement in
1067
performance and memory consumption for file with a lot of merges.
1068
Also, correctly handle when a line is introduced by both parents (it
1069
should be attributed to the first merge which notices this, and not
1070
to all subsequent merges.) (John Arbash Meinel)
1071
1072
BUGFIXES:
1073
1074
* Autopacking no longer holds the full set of inventory lines in
1075
memory while copying. For large repositories, this can amount to
1076
hundreds of MB of ram consumption.
1077
(Ian Clatworthy, John Arbash Meinel)
1078
1079
* Cherrypicking when using ``--format=merge3`` now explictly excludes
1080
BASE lines. (John Arbash Meinel, #151731)
1081
1082
* Disable plink's interactive prompt for password.
1083
(#107593, Dmitry Vasiliev)
1084
1085
* Encode command line arguments from unicode to user_encoding before
1086
invoking external mail client in `bzr send` command.
1087
(#139318, Alexander Belchenko)
1088
1089
* Fixed problem connecting to ``bzr+https://`` servers.
1090
(#198793, John Ferlito)
1091
1092
* Improved error reporting in the Launchpad plugin. (Daniel Watkins,
1093
#196618)
1094
1095
* Include quick-start-summary.svg file to python-based installer(s)
1096
for Windows. (#192924, Alexander Belchenko)
1097
1098
* lca merge now respects specified files. (Aaron Bentley)
1099
1100
* Make version-info --custom imply --all. (#195560, James Westby)
1101
1102
* ``merge --preview`` now works for merges that add or modify
1103
symlinks (James Henstridge)
1104
1105
* Redirecting the output from ``bzr merge`` (when the remembered
1106
location is used) now works. (John Arbash Meinel)
1107
1108
* setup.py script explicitly checks for Python version.
1109
(Jari Aalto, Alexander Belchenko, #200569)
1110
1111
* UnknownFormatErrors no longer refer to branches regardless of kind of
1112
unknown format. (Daniel Watkins, #173980)
1113
1114
* Upgrade bundled ConfigObj to version 4.5.2, which properly quotes #
1115
signs, among other small improvements. (Matt Nordhoff, #86838)
1116
1117
* Use correct indices when emitting LCA conflicts. This fixes IndexError
1118
errors. (Aaron Bentley, #196780)
1119
1120
DOCUMENTATION:
1121
1122
* Explained how to use ``version-info --custom`` in the User Guide.
1123
(Neil Martinsen-Burrell)
1124
1125
API BREAKS:
1126
1127
* Support for loading plugins from zip files and
1128
``bzrlib.plugin.load_from_zip()`` function are deprecated.
1129
(Alexander Belchenko)
1130
1131
TESTING:
1132
1133
* Added missing blackbox tests for ``modified`` (Adrian Wilkins)
1134
1135
* The branch interface tests were invalid for branches using rich-root
1136
repositories because the empty string is not a valid file-id.
1137
(Robert Collins)
1138
1139
INTERNALS:
1140
1141
* ``Graph.iter_ancestry`` returns the ancestry of revision ids. Similar to
1142
``Repository.get_revision_graph()`` except it includes ghosts and you can
1143
stop part-way through. (John Arbash Meinel)
1144
1145
* New module ``tools/package_mf.py`` provide custom module finder for
1146
python packages (improves standard python library's modulefinder.py)
1147
used by ``setup.py`` script while building standalone bzr.exe.
1148
(Alexander Belchenko)
1149
1150
* New remote method ``RemoteBzrDir.find_repositoryV2`` adding support for
1151
detecting external lookup support on remote repositories. This method is
1152
now attempted first when lookup up repositories, leading to an extra
1153
round trip on older bzr smart servers. (Robert Collins)
1154
1155
* Repository formats have a new supported-feature attribute
1156
``supports_external_lookups`` used to indicate repositories which support
1157
falling back to other repositories when they have partial data.
1158
(Robert Collins)
1159
1160
* ``Repository.get_revision_graph_with_ghosts`` and
1161
``bzrlib.revision.(common_ancestor,MultipleRevisionSources,common_graph)``
1162
have been deprecated. (John Arbash Meinel)
1163
1164
* ``Tree.iter_changes`` is now a public API, replacing the work-in-progress
1165
``Tree._iter_changes``. The api is now considered stable and ready for
1166
external users. (Aaron Bentley)
1167
1168
* The bzrdir format registry now accepts an ``alias`` keyword to
1169
register_metadir, used to indicate that a format name is an alias for
1170
some other format and thus should not be reported when describing the
1171
format. (Robert Collins)

1184
1185
NOTES WHEN UPGRADING:
1186
1187
* Fetching via the smart protocol may need to reconnect once during a fetch
1188
if the remote server is running Bazaar 1.1 or earlier, because the client
1189
attempts to use more efficient requests that confuse older servers. You
1190
may be required to re-enter a password or passphrase when this happens.
1191
This won't happen if the server is upgraded to Bazaar 1.2.
1192
(Andrew Bennetts)
1193
1194
CHANGES:
1195
1196
* Fetching via bzr+ssh will no longer fill ghosts by default (this is
1197
consistent with pack-0.92 fetching over SFTP). (Robert Collins)
1198
1199
* Formatting of ``bzr plugins`` output is changed to be more human-
1200
friendly. Full path of plugins locations will be shown only with
1201
``--verbose`` command-line option. (Alexander Belchenko)
1202
1203
* ``merge`` now prefers to use the submit branch, but will fall back to
1204
parent branch. For many users, this has no effect. But some users who
1205
pull and merge on the same branch will notice a change. This change
1206
makes it easier to work on a branch on two different machines, pulling
1207
between the machines, while merging from the upstream.
1208
``merge --remember`` can now be used to set the submit_branch.
1209
(Aaron Bentley)
1210
1211
FEATURES:
1212
1213
* ``merge --preview`` produces a diff of the changes merge would make,
1214
but does not actually perform the merge. (Aaron Bentley)
1215
1216
* New smart method ``Repository.get_parent_map`` for getting revision
1217
parent data. This returns additional parent information topologically
1218
adjacent to the requested data to reduce round trip latency impacts.
1219
(Robert Collins)
1220
1221
* New smart method, ``Repository.stream_revisions_chunked``, for fetching
1222
revision data that streams revision data via a chunked encoding. This
1223
avoids buffering large amounts of revision data on the server and on the
1224
client, and sends less data to the server to request the revisions.
1225
(Andrew Bennetts, Robert Collins, #178353)
1226
1227
* The launchpad plugin now handles lp urls of the form
1228
``lp://staging/``, ``lp://demo/``, ``lp://dev/`` to use the appropriate
1229
launchpad instance to do the resolution of the branch identities.
1230
This is primarily of use to Launchpad developers, but can also
1231
be used by other users who want to try out Launchpad as
1232
a branch location without messing up their public Launchpad
1233
account. Branches that are pushed to the staging environment
1234
have an expected lifetime of one day. (Tim Penhey)
1235
1236
IMPROVEMENTS:
1237
1238
* Creating a new branch no longer tries to read the entire revision-history
1239
unnecessarily over smart server operations. (Robert Collins)
1240
1241
* Fetching between different repository formats with compatible models now
1242
takes advantage of the smart method to stream revisions. (Andrew Bennetts)
1243
1244
* The ``--coverage`` option is now global, rather specific to ``bzr
1245
selftest``. (Andrew Bennetts)
1246
1247
* The ``register-branch`` command will now use the public url of the branch
1248
containing the current directory, if one has been set and no explicit
1249
branch is provided. (Robert Collins)
1250
1251
* Tweak the ``reannotate`` code path to optimize the 2-parent case.
1252
Speeds up ``bzr annotate`` with a pack repository by approx 3:2.
1253
(John Arbash Meinel)
1254
1255
BUGFIXES:
1256
1257
* Calculate remote path relative to the shared medium in _SmartClient. This
1258
is related to the problem in bug #124089. (Andrew Bennetts)
1259
1260
* Cleanly handle connection errors in smart protocol version two, the same
1261
way as they are handled by version one. (Andrew Bennetts)
1262
1263
* Clearer error when ``version-info --custom`` is used without
1264
``--template`` (Lukáš Lalinský)
1265
1266
* Don't raise UnavailableFeature during test setup when medusa is not
1267
available or tearDown is never called leading to nasty side effects.
1268
(#137823, Vincent Ladeuil)
1269
1270
* If a plugin's test suite cannot be loaded, for example because of a syntax
1271
error in the tests, then ``selftest`` fails, rather than just printing
1272
a warning. (Martin Pool, #189771)
1273
1274
* List possible values for BZR_SSH environment variable in env-variables
1275
help topic. (Alexander Belchenko, #181842)
1276
1277
* New methods ``push_log_file`` and ``pop_log_file`` to intercept messages:
1278
popping the log redirection now precisely restores the previous state,
1279
which makes it easier to use bzr log output from other programs.
1280
TestCaseInTempDir no longer depends on a log redirection being established
1281
by the test framework, which lets bzr tests cleanly run from a normal
1282
unittest runner.
1283
(#124153, #124849, Martin Pool, Jonathan Lange)
1284
1285
* ``pull --quiet`` is now more quiet, in particular a message is no longer
1286
printed when the remembered pull location is used. (James Westby,
1287
#185907)
1288
1289
* ``reconfigure`` can safely be interrupted while fetching.
1290
(Aaron Bentley, #179316)
1291
1292
* ``reconfigure`` preserves tags when converting to and from lightweight
1293
checkouts. (Aaron Bentley, #182040)
1294
1295
* Stop polluting /tmp when running selftest.
1296
(Vincent Ladeuil, #123623)
1297
1298
* Switch from NFKC => NFC for normalization checks. NFC allows a few
1299
more characters which should be considered valid.
1300
(John Arbash Meinel, #185458)
1301
1302
* The launchpad plugin now uses the ``edge`` xmlrpc server to avoid
1303
interacting badly with a bug on the launchpad side. (Robert Collins)
1304
1305
* Unknown hostnames when connecting to a ``bzr://`` URL no longer cause
1306
tracebacks. (Andrew Bennetts, #182849)
1307
1308
API BREAKS:
1309
1310
* Classes implementing Merge types like Merge3Merger must now accept (and
1311
honour) a do_merge flag in their constructor. (Aaron Bentley)
1312
1313
* ``Repository.add_inventory`` and ``add_revision`` now require the caller
1314
to previously take a write lock (and start a write group.)
1315
(Martin Pool)
1316
1317
TESTING:
1318
1319
* selftest now accepts --load-list <file> to load a test id list. This
1320
speeds up running the test suite on a limited set of tests.
1321
(Vincent Ladeuil)
1322
1323
INTERNALS:
1324
1325
* Add a new method ``get_result`` to graph search objects. The resulting
1326
``SearchResult`` can be used to recreate the search later, which will
1327
be useful in reducing network traffic. (Robert Collins)
1328
1329
* Use convenience function to check whether two repository handles
1330
are referring to the same repository in ``Repository.get_graph``.
1331
(Jelmer Vernooij, #187162)
1332
1333
* Fetching now passes the find_ghosts flag through to the
1334
``InterRepository.missing_revision_ids`` call consistently for all
1335
repository types. This will enable faster missing revision discovery with
1336
bzr+ssh. (Robert Collins)
1337
1338
* Fix error handling in Repository.insert_data_stream. (Lukas Lalinsky)
1339
1340
* ``InterRepository.missing_revision_ids`` is now deprecated in favour of
1341
``InterRepository.search_missing_revision_ids`` which returns a
1342
``bzrlib.graph.SearchResult`` suitable for making requests from the smart
1343
server. (Robert Collins)
1344
1345
* New error ``NoPublicBranch`` for commands that need a public branch to
1346
operate. (Robert Collins)
1347
1348
* New method ``iter_inventories`` on Repository for access to many
1349
inventories. This is primarily used by the ``revision_trees`` method, as
1350
direct access to inventories is discouraged. (Robert Collins)
1351
1352
* New method ``next_with_ghosts`` on the Graph breadth-first-search objects
1353
which will split out ghosts and present parents into two separate sets,
1354
useful for code which needs to be aware of ghosts (e.g. fetching data
1355
cares about ghosts during revision selection). (Robert Collins)
1356
1357
* Record a timestamp against each mutter to the trace file, relative to the
1358
first import of bzrlib. (Andrew Bennetts)
1359
1360
* ``Repository.get_data_stream`` is now deprecated in favour of
1361
``Repository.get_data_stream_for_search`` which allows less network
1362
traffic when requesting data streams over a smart server. (Robert Collins)
1363
1364
* ``RemoteBzrDir._get_tree_branch`` no longer triggers ``_ensure_real``,
1365
removing one round trip on many network operations. (Robert Collins)
1366
1367
* RemoteTransport's ``recommended_page_size`` method now returns 64k, like
1368
SFTPTransport and HttpTransportBase. (Andrew Bennetts)
1369
1370
* Repository has a new method ``has_revisions`` which signals the presence
1371
of many revisions by returning a set of the revisions listed which are
1372
present. This can be done by index queries without reading data for parent
1373
revision names etc. (Robert Collins)

1384
CHANGES:
1385
1386
* Dotted revision numbers have been revised. Instead of growing longer with
1387
nested branches the branch number just increases. (eg instead of 1.1.1.1.1
1388
we now report 1.2.1.) This helps scale long lived branches which have many
1389
feature branches merged between them. (John Arbash Meinel)
1390
1391
* The syntax ``bzr diff branch1 branch2`` is no longer supported.
1392
Use ``bzr diff branch1 --new branch2`` instead. This change has
1393
been made to remove the ambiguity where ``branch2`` is in fact a
1394
specific file to diff within ``branch1``.
1395
1396
FEATURES:
1397
1398
* New option to use custom template-based formats in ``bzr version-info``.
1399
(Lukáš Lalinský)
1400
1401
* diff '--using' allows an external diff tool to be used for files.
1402
(Aaron Bentley)
1403
1404
* New "lca" merge-type for fast everyday merging that also supports
1405
criss-cross merges. (Aaron Bentley)
1406
1407
IMPROVEMENTS:
1408
1409
* ``annotate`` now doesn't require a working tree. (Lukáš Lalinský,
1410
#90049)
1411
1412
* ``branch`` and ``checkout`` can now use files from a working tree to
1413
to speed up the process. For checkout, this requires the new
1414
--files-from flag. (Aaron Bentley)
1415
1416
* ``bzr diff`` now sorts files in alphabetical order. (Aaron Bentley)
1417
1418
* ``bzr diff`` now works on branches without working trees. Tree-less
1419
branches can also be compared to each other and to working trees using
1420
the new diff options ``--old`` and ``--new``. Diffing between branches,
1421
with or without trees, now supports specific file filtering as well.
1422
(Ian Clatworthy, #6700)
1423
1424
* ``bzr pack`` now orders revision texts in topological order, with newest
1425
at the start of the file, promoting linear reads for ``bzr log`` and the
1426
like. This partially fixes #154129. (Robert Collins)
1427
1428
* Merge directives now fetch prerequisites from the target branch if
1429
needed. (Aaron Bentley)
1430
1431
* pycurl now handles digest authentication.
1432
(Vincent Ladeuil)
1433
1434
* ``reconfigure`` can now convert from repositories. (Aaron Bentley)
1435
1436
* ``-l`` is now a short form for ``--limit`` in ``log``. (Matt Nordhoff)
1437
1438
* ``merge`` now warns when merge directives cause cherrypicks.
1439
(Aaron Bentley)
1440
1441
* ``split`` now supported, to enable splitting large trees into smaller
1442
pieces. (Aaron Bentley)
1443
1444
BUGFIXES:
1445
1446
* Avoid AttributeError when unlocking a pack repository when an error occurs.
1447
(Martin Pool, #180208)
1448
1449
* Better handle short reads when processing multiple range requests.
1450
(Vincent Ladeuil, #179368)
1451
1452
* build_tree acceleration uses the correct path when a file has been moved.
1453
(Aaron Bentley)
1454
1455
* ``commit`` now succeeds when a checkout and its master branch share a
1456
repository. (Aaron Bentley, #177592)
1457
1458
* Fixed error reporting of unsupported timezone format in
1459
``log --timezone``. (Lukáš Lalinský, #178722)
1460
1461
* Fixed Unicode encoding error in ``ignored`` when the output is
1462
redirected to a pipe. (Lukáš Lalinský)
1463
1464
* Fix traceback when sending large response bodies over the smart protocol
1465
on Windows. (Andrew Bennetts, #115781)
1466
1467
* Fix ``urlutils.relative_url`` for the case of two ``file:///`` URLs
1468
pointed to different logical drives on Windows.
1469
(Alexander Belchenko, #90847)
1470
1471
* HTTP test servers are now compatible with the http protocol version 1.1.
1472
(Vincent Ladeuil, #175524)
1473
1474
* _KnitParentsProvider.get_parent_map now handles requests for ghosts
1475
correctly, instead of erroring or attributing incorrect parents to ghosts.
1476
(Aaron Bentley)
1477
1478
* ``merge --weave --uncommitted`` now works. (Aaron Bentley)
1479
1480
* pycurl authentication handling was broken and incomplete. Fix handling of
1481
user:pass embedded in the urls.
1482
(Vincent Ladeuil, #177643)
1483
1484
* Files inside non-directories are now handled like other conflict types.
1485
(Aaron Bentley, #177390)
1486
1487
* ``reconfigure`` is able to convert trees into lightweight checkouts.
1488
(Aaron Bentley)
1489
1490
* Reduce lockdir timeout to 0 when running ``bzr serve``. (Andrew Bennetts,
1491
#148087)
1492
1493
* Test that the old ``version_info_format`` functions still work, even
1494
though they are deprecated. (John Arbash Meinel, ShenMaq, #177872)
1495
1496
* Transform failures no longer cause ImmortalLimbo errors (Aaron Bentley,
1497
#137681)
1498
1499
* ``uncommit`` works even when the commit messages of revisions to be
1500
removed use characters not supported in the terminal encoding.
1501
(Aaron Bentley)
1502
1503
* When dumb http servers return whole files instead of the requested ranges,
1504
read the remaining bytes by chunks to avoid overflowing network buffers.
1505
(Vincent Ladeuil, #175886)
1506
1507
DOCUMENTATION:
1508
1509
* Minor tweaks made to the bug tracker integration documentation.
1510
(Ian Clatworthy)
1511
1512
* Reference material has now be moved out of the User Guide and added
1513
to the User Reference. The User Reference has gained 4 sections as
1514
a result: Authenication Settings, Configuration Settings, Conflicts
1515
and Hooks. All help topics are now dumped into text format in the
1516
doc/en/user-reference directory for those who like browsing that
1517
information in their editor. (Ian Clatworthy)
1518
1519
* *Using Bazaar with Launchpad* tutorial added. (Ian Clatworthy)
1520
1521
INTERNALS:
1522
1523
* find_* methods available for BzrDirs, Branches and WorkingTrees.
1524
(Aaron Bentley)
1525
1526
* Help topics can now be loaded from files.
1527
(Ian Clatworthy, Alexander Belchenko)
1528
1529
* get_parent_map now always provides tuples as its output. (Aaron Bentley)
1530
1531
* Parent Providers should now implement ``get_parent_map`` returning a
1532
dictionary instead of ``get_parents`` returning a list.
1533
``Graph.get_parents`` is now deprecated. (John Arbash Meinel,
1534
Robert Collins)
1535
1536
* Patience Diff now supports arbitrary python objects, as long as they
1537
support ``hash()``. (John Arbash Meinel)
1538
1539
* Reduce selftest overhead to establish test names by memoization.
1540
(Vincent Ladeuil)
1541
1542
API BREAKS:
1543
1544
TESTING:
1545
1546
* Modules can now customise their tests by defining a ``load_tests``
1547
attribute. ``pydoc bzrlib.tests.TestUtil.TestLoader.loadTestsFromModule``
1548
for the documentation on this attribute. (Robert Collins)
1549
1550
* New helper function ``bzrlib.tests.condition_id_re`` which helps
1551
filter tests based on a regular expression search on the tests id.
1552
(Robert Collins)
1553
1554
* New helper function ``bzrlib.tests.condition_isinstance`` which helps
1555
filter tests based on class. (Robert Collins)
1556
1557
* New helper function ``bzrlib.tests.exclude_suite_by_condition`` which
1558
generalises the ``exclude_suite_by_re`` function. (Robert Collins)
1559
1560
* New helper function ``bzrlib.tests.filter_suite_by_condition`` which
1561
generalises the ``filter_suite_by_re`` function. (Robert Collins)
1562
1563
* New helper method ``bzrlib.tests.exclude_tests_by_re`` which gives a new
1564
TestSuite that does not contain tests from the input that matched a
1565
regular expression. (Robert Collins)
1566
1567
* New helper method ``bzrlib.tests.randomize_suite`` which returns a
1568
randomized copy of the input suite. (Robert Collins)
1569
1570
* New helper method ``bzrlib.tests.split_suite_by_re`` which splits a test
1571
suite into two according to a regular expression. (Robert Collins)
1572
1573
* Parametrize all http tests for the transport implementations, the http
1574
protocol versions (1.0 and 1.1) and the authentication schemes.
1575
(Vincent Ladeuil)
1576
1577
* The ``exclude_pattern`` and ``random_order`` parameters to the function
1578
``bzrlib.tests.filter_suite_by_re`` have been deprecated. (Robert Collins)
1579
1580
* The method ``bzrlib.tests.sort_suite_by_re`` has been deprecated. It is
1581
replaced by the new helper methods added in this release. (Robert Collins)

1606
* If a traceback occurs, users are now asked to report the bug

1609
(Martin Pool)
1610
1611
BUGFIXES:
1612
1613
* Fix Makefile rules for doc generation. (Ian Clatworthy, #175207)
1614
1615
* Give more feedback during long http downloads by making readv deliver data
1616
as it arrives for urllib, and issue more requests for pycurl. High latency
1617
networks are better handled by urllib, the pycurl implementation give more
1618
feedback but also incur more latency.
1619
(Vincent Ladeuil, #173010)
1620
1621
* Implement _make_parents_provider on RemoteRepository, allowing generating
1622
bundles against branches on a smart server. (Andrew Bennetts, #147836)

1630
1631
INTERNALS:
1632
1633
* readv urllib http implementation is now a real iterator above the

IMPROVEMENTS:
1643
1644
* Added a --coverage option to selftest. (Andrew Bennetts)
1645
1646
* Annotate merge (merge-type=weave) now supports cherrypicking.
1647
(Aaron Bentley)
1648
1649
* ``bzr commit`` now doesn't print the revision number twice. (Matt
1650
Nordhoff, #172612)
1651
1652
* New configuration option ``bugtracker_<tracker_abbrevation>_url`` to
1653
define locations of bug trackers that are not directly supported by
1654
bzr or a plugin. The URL will be treated as a template and ``{id}``
1655
placeholders will be replaced by specific bug IDs. (Lukáš Lalinský)
1656
1657
* Support logging single merge revisions with short and line log formatters.
1658
(Kent Gibson)
1659
1660
* User Guide enhanced with suggested readability improvements from
1661
Matt Revell and corrections from John Arbash Meinel. (Ian Clatworthy)
1662
1663
* Quick Start Guide renamed to Quick Start Card, moved down in
1664
the catalog, provided in pdf and png format and updated to refer
1665
to ``send`` instead of ``bundle``. (Ian Clatworthy, #165080)
1666
1667
* ``switch`` can now be used on heavyweight checkouts as well as
1668
lightweight ones. After switching a heavyweight checkout, the
1669
local branch is a mirror/cache of the new bound branch and
1670
uncommitted changes in the working tree are merged. As a safety
1671
check, if there are local commits in a checkout which have not
1672
been committed to the previously bound branch, then ``switch``
1673
fails unless the ``--force`` option is given. This option is
1674
now also required if the branch a lightweight checkout is pointing
1675
to has been moved. (Ian Clatworthy)
1676
1677
INTERNALS:
1678
1679
* New -Dhttp debug option reports http connections, requests and responses.

(Lukáš Lalinský, #133782)
1688
1689
* Catch OSError 17 (file exists) in final phase of tree transform and show
1690
filename to user.
1691
(Alexander Belchenko, #111758)
1692
1693
* Catch ShortReadvErrors while using pycurl. Also make readv more robust by
1694
allowing multiple GET requests to be issued if too many ranges are
1695
required.
1696
(Vincent Ladeuil, #172701)
1697
1698
* Check for missing basis texts when fetching from packs to packs.
1699
(John Arbash Meinel, #165290)
1700
1701
* Fall back to showing e-mail in ``log --short/--line`` if the
1702
committer/author has only e-mail. (Lukáš Lalinský, #157026)
1703
1704

bzr 1.0rc1 2007-11-30
1711
---------------------
1712
1713
NOTES WHEN UPGRADING:
1714
1715
* The default repository format is now ``pack-0.92``. This
1716
default is used when creating new repositories with ``init`` and
1717
``init-repo``, and when branching over bzr+ssh or bzr+hpss.
1718
(See https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/164626)
1719
1720
This format can be read and written by Bazaar 0.92 and later, and
1721
data can be transferred to and from older formats.
1722
1723
To upgrade, please reconcile your repository (``bzr reconcile``), and then
1724
upgrade (``bzr upgrade``).
1725
1726
``pack-0.92`` offers substantially better scaling and performance than the
1727
previous knits format. Some operations are slower where the code already
1728
had bad scaling characteristics under knits, the pack format makes such
1729
operations more visible as part of being more scalable overall. We will
1730
correct such operations over the coming releases and encourage the filing
1731
of bugs on any operation which you observe to be slower in a packs
1732
repository. One particular case that we do not intend to fix is pulling
1733
data from a pack repository into a knit repository over a high latency
1734
link; downgrading such data requires reinsertion of the file texts, and
1735
this is a classic space/time tradeoff. The current implementation is
1736
conservative on memory usage because we need to support converting data
1737
from any tree without problems.
1738
(Robert Collins, Martin Pool, #164476)
1739
1740
CHANGES:
1741
1742
* Disable detection of plink.exe as possible ssh vendor. Plink vendor
1743
still available if user selects it explicitly with BZR_SSH environment
1744
variable. (Alexander Belchenko, workaround for bug #107593)
1745
1746
* The pack format is now accessible as "pack-0.92", or "pack-0.92-subtree"
1747
to enable the subtree functions (for example, for bzr-svn).
1748
See http://doc.bazaar-vcs.org/latest/developer/packrepo.html
1749
(Martin Pool)
1750
1751
FEATURES:
1752
1753
* New ``authentication.conf`` file holding the password or other credentials
1754
for remote servers. This can be used for ssh, sftp, smtp and other
1755
supported transports.
1756
(Vincent Ladeuil)
1757
1758
* New rich-root and rich-root-pack formats, recording the same data about
1759
tree roots that's recorded for all other directories.
1760
(Aaron Bentley, #164639)
1761
1762
* ``pack-0.92`` repositories can now be reconciled.
1763
(Robert Collins, #154173)
1764
1765
* ``switch`` command added for changing the branch a lightweight checkout
1766
is associated with and updating the tree to reflect the latest content
1767
accordingly. This command was previously part of the BzrTools plug-in.
1768
(Ian Clatworthy, Aaron Bentley, David Allouche)
1769
1770
* ``reconfigure`` command can now convert branches, trees, or checkouts to
1771
lightweight checkouts. (Aaron Bentley)
1772
1773
PERFORMANCE:
1774
1775
* Commit updates the state of the working tree via a delta rather than
1776
supplying entirely new basis trees. For commit of a single specified file
1777
this reduces the wall clock time for commit by roughly a 30%.
1778
(Robert Collins, Martin Pool)
1779
1780
* Commit with many automatically found deleted paths no longer performs
1781
linear scanning for the children of those paths during inventory
1782
iteration. This should fix commit performance blowing out when many such
1783
paths occur during commit. (Robert Collins, #156491)
1784
1785
* Fetch with pack repositories will no longer read the entire history graph.
1786
(Robert Collins, #88319)
1787
1788
* Revert takes out an appropriate lock when reverting to a basis tree, and
1789
does not read the basis inventory twice. (Robert Collins)
1790
1791
* Diff does not require an inventory to be generated on dirstate trees.
1792
(Aaron Bentley, #149254)
1793
1794
* New annotate merge (--merge-type=weave) implementation is fast on
1795
versionedfiles withough cached annotations, e.g. pack-0.92.
1796
(Aaron Bentley)
1797
1798
IMPROVEMENTS:
1799
1800
* ``bzr merge`` now warns when it encounters a criss-cross merge.
1801
(Aaron Bentley)
1802
1803
* ``bzr send`` now doesn't require the target e-mail address to be
1804
specified on the command line if an interactive e-mail client is used.
1805
(Lukáš Lalinský)
1806
1807
* ``bzr tags`` now prints the revision number for each tag, instead of
1808
the revision id, unless --show-ids is passed. In addition, tags can be
1809
sorted chronologically instead of lexicographically with --sort=time.
1810
(Adeodato Simó, #120231)
1811
1812
* Windows standalone version of bzr is able to load system-wide plugins from
1813
"plugins" subdirectory in installation directory. In addition standalone
1814
installer write to the registry (HKLM\SOFTWARE\Bazaar) useful info
1815
about paths and bzr version. (Alexander Belchenko, #129298)

1826
1827
* ``commit`` is now able to invoke an external editor in a non-ascii
1828
directory. (Daniel Watkins, #84043)
1829
1830
* Catch connection errors for ftp.
1831
(Vincent Ladeuil, #164567)
1832

* ``check`` no longer reports spurious unreferenced text versions.
1834

1846
(Vincent Ladeuil, #158972).

* Don't catch the exceptions related to the http pipeline status before
1849
retrying an http request or some programming errors may be masked.

* Fix exception when ScopeReplacer is assigned to before any members have
1859
been retrieved. (Aaron Bentley)
1860
1861
* Fix multiple connections during checkout --lightweight.
1862
(Vincent Ladeuil, #159150)
1863
1864
* Fix possible error in insert_data_stream when copying between
1865
pack repositories over bzr+ssh or bzr+http.
1866
KnitVersionedFile.get_data_stream now makes sure that requested
1867
compression parents are sent before any delta hunks that depend
1868
on them.
1869
(Martin Pool, #164637)
1870
1871
* Fix typo in limiting offsets coalescing for http, leading to
1872
whole files being downloaded instead of parts.
1873
(Vincent Ladeuil, #165061)
1874
1875
* FTP server errors don't error in the error handling code.
1876
(Robert Collins, #161240)
1877
1878
* Give a clearer message when a pull fails because the source needs
1879
to be reconciled.
1880
(Martin Pool, #164443)
1881
1882
* It is clearer when a plugin cannot be loaded because of its name, and a
1883
suggestion for an acceptable name is given. (Daniel Watkins, #103023)
1884
1885
* Leave port as None in transport objects if user doesn't
1886
specify a port in urls.
1887
(vincent Ladeuil, #150860)
1888
1889
* Make sure Repository.fetch(self) is properly a no-op for all
1890
Repository implementations. (John Arbash Meinel, #158333)
1891
1892
* Mark .bzr directories as "hidden" on Windows.
1893
(Alexander Belchenko, #71147)
1894
1895
* ``merge --uncommitted`` can now operate on a single file.
1896
(Aaron Bentley, Lukáš Lalinský, #136890)
1897
1898
* Obsolete packs are now cleaned up by pack and autopack operations.
1899
(Robert Collins, #153789)
1900
1901
* Operations pulling data from a smart server where the underlying
1902
repositories are not both annotated/both unannotated will now work.
1903
(Robert Collins, #165304).
1904
1905
* Reconcile now shows progress bars. (Robert Collins, #159351)
1906
1907
* ``RemoteBranch`` was not initializing ``self._revision_id_to_revno_map``
1908
properly. (John Arbash Meinel, #162486)
1909
1910
* Removing an already-removed file reports the file does not exist. (Daniel
1911
Watkins, #152811)
1912
1913
* Rename on Windows is able to change filename case.
1914
(Alexander Belchenko, #77740)
1915
1916
* Return error instead of a traceback for ``bzr log -r0``.
1917
(Kent Gibson, #133751)
1918
1919
* Return error instead of a traceback when bzr is unable to create
1920
symlink on some platforms (e.g. on Windows).
1921
(Alexander Belchenko, workaround for #81689)
1922
1923
* Revert doesn't crash when restoring a single file from a deleted
1924
directory. (Aaron Bentley)
1925
1926
* Stderr output via logging mechanism now goes through encoded wrapper
1927
and no more uses utf-8, but terminal encoding instead. So all unicode
1928
strings now should be readable in non-utf-8 terminal.
1929
(Alexander Belchenko, #54173)
1930
1931
* The error message when ``move --after`` should be used makes how to do so
1932
clearer. (Daniel Watkins, #85237)
1933
1934
* Unicode-safe output from ``bzr info``. The output will be encoded
1935
using the terminal encoding and unrepresentable characters will be
1936
replaced by '?'. (Lukáš Lalinský, #151844)
1937
1938
* Working trees are no longer created when pushing into a local no-trees
1939
repo. (Daniel Watkins, #50582)
1940
1941
* Upgrade util/configobj to version 4.4.0.
1942
(Vincent Ladeuil, #151208).
1943
1944
* Wrap medusa ftp test server as an FTPServer feature.
1945
(Vincent Ladeuil, #157752)
1946
1947
API BREAKS:
1948
1949
* ``osutils.backup_file`` is deprecated. Actually it's not used in bzrlib
1950
during very long time. (Alexander Belchenko)
1951
1952
* The return value of
1953
``VersionedFile.iter_lines_added_or_present_in_versions`` has been
1954
changed. Previously it was an iterator of lines, now it is an iterator of
1955
(line, version_id) tuples. This change has been made to aid reconcile and
1956
fetch operations. (Robert Collins)
1957
1958
* ``bzrlib.repository.get_versioned_file_checker`` is now private.
1959
(Robert Collins)
1960
1961
* The Repository format registry default has been removed; it was previously
1962
obsoleted by the bzrdir format default, which implies a default repository
1963
format.
1964
(Martin Pool)
1965
1966
INTERNALS:
1967
1968
* Added ``ContainerSerialiser`` and ``ContainerPushParser`` to
1969
``bzrlib.pack``. These classes provide more convenient APIs for generating
1970
and parsing containers from streams rather than from files. (Andrew
1971
Bennetts)
1972
1973
* New module ``lru_cache`` providing a cache for use by tasks that need
1974
semi-random access to large amounts of data. (John A Meinel)
1975
1976
* InventoryEntry.diff is now deprecated. Please use diff.DiffTree instead.

NOTES WHEN UPGRADING:
1993
1994
CHANGES:
1995
1996
* ``bzr`` now returns exit code 4 if an internal error occurred, and
1997
3 if a normal error occurred. (Martin Pool)
1998
1999
* ``pull``, ``merge`` and ``push`` will no longer silently correct some
2000
repository index errors that occured as a result of the Weave disk format.
2001
Instead the ``reconcile`` command needs to be run to correct those
2002
problems if they exist (and it has been able to fix most such problems
2003
since bzr 0.8). Some new problems have been identified during this release
2004
and you should run ``bzr check`` once on every repository to see if you
2005
need to reconcile. If you cannot ``pull`` or ``merge`` from a remote
2006
repository due to mismatched parent errors - a symptom of index errors -
2007
you should simply take a full copy of that remote repository to a clean
2008
directory outside any local repositories, then run reconcile on it, and
2009
finally pull from it locally. (And naturally email the repositories owner
2010
to ask them to upgrade and run reconcile).
2011
(Robert Collins)
2012
2013
FEATURES:
2014
2015
* New ``knitpack-experimental`` repository format. This is interoperable with
2016
the ``dirstate-tags`` format but uses a smarter storage design that greatly
2017
speeds up many operations, both local and remote. This new format can be
2018
used as an option to the ``init``, ``init-repository`` and ``upgrade``
2019
commands. See http://doc.bazaar-vcs.org/0.92/developers/knitpack.html
2020
for further details. (Robert Collins)
2021
2022
* For users of bzr-svn (and those testing the prototype subtree support) that
2023
wish to try packs, a new ``knitpack-subtree-experimental`` format has also
2024
been added. This is interoperable with the ``dirstate-subtrees`` format.
2025
(Robert Collins)
2026
2027
* New ``reconfigure`` command. (Aaron Bentley)
2028
2029
* New ``revert --forget-merges`` command, which removes the record of a pending
2030
merge without affecting the working tree contents. (Martin Pool)
2031
2032
* New ``bzr_remote_path`` configuration variable allows finer control of
2033
remote bzr locations than BZR_REMOTE_PATH environment variable.
2034
(Aaron Bentley)
2035
2036
* New ``launchpad-login`` command to tell Bazaar your Launchpad
2037
user ID. This can then be used by other functions of the
2038
Launchpad plugin. (James Henstridge)
2039
2040
PERFORMANCE:
2041
2042
* Commit in quiet mode is now slightly faster as the information to
2043
output is no longer calculated. (Ian Clatworthy)
2044
2045
* Commit no longer checks for new text keys during insertion when the
2046
revision id was deterministically unique. (Robert Collins)
2047
2048
* Committing a change which is not a merge and does not change the number of
2049
files in the tree is faster by utilising the data about whether files are
2050
changed to determine if the tree is unchanged rather than recalculating
2051
it at the end of the commit process. (Robert Collins)
2052
2053
* Inventory serialisation no longer double-sha's the content.
2054
(Robert Collins)
2055
2056
* Knit text reconstruction now avoids making copies of the lines list for
2057
interim texts when building a single text. The new ``apply_delta`` method
2058
on ``KnitContent`` aids this by allowing modification of the revision id
2059
such objects represent. (Robert Collins)
2060
2061
* Pack indices are now partially parsed for specific key lookup using a
2062
bisection approach. (Robert Collins)
2063
2064
* Partial commits are now approximately 40% faster by walking over the
2065
unselected current tree more efficiently. (Robert Collins)
2066
2067
* XML inventory serialisation takes 20% less time while being stricter about
2068
the contents. (Robert Collins)
2069
2070
* Graph ``heads()`` queries have been fixed to no longer access all history
2071
unnecessarily. (Robert Collins)
2072
2073
IMPROVEMENTS:
2074
2075
* ``bzr+https://`` smart server across https now supported.
2076
(John Ferlito, Martin Pool, #128456)
2077
2078
* Mutt is now a supported mail client; set ``mail_client=mutt`` in your
2079
bazaar.conf and ``send`` will use mutt. (Keir Mierle)
2080
2081
* New option ``-c``/``--change`` for ``merge`` command for cherrypicking
2082
changes from one revision. (Alexander Belchenko, #141368)
2083
2084
* Show encodings, locale and list of plugins in the traceback message.
2085
(Martin Pool, #63894)
2086
2087
* Experimental directory formats can now be marked with
2088
``experimental = True`` during registration. (Ian Clatworthy)
2089
2090
DOCUMENTATION:
2091
2092
* New *Bazaar in Five Minutes* guide. (Matthew Revell)
2093
2094
* The hooks reference documentation is now converted to html as expected.
2095
(Ian Clatworthy)
2096
2097
BUG FIXES:
2098
2099
* Connection error reporting for the smart server has been fixed to
2100
display a user friendly message instead of a traceback.
2101
(Ian Clatworthy, #115601)
2102
2103
* Make sure to use ``O_BINARY`` when opening files to check their
2104
sha1sum. (Alexander Belchenko, John Arbash Meinel, #153493)
2105
2106
* Fix a problem with Win32 handling of the executable bit.
2107
(John Arbash Meinel, #149113)
2108
2109
* ``bzr+ssh://`` and ``sftp://`` URLs that do not specify ports explicitly
2110
no longer assume that means port 22. This allows people using OpenSSH to
2111
override the default port in their ``~/.ssh/config`` if they wish. This
2112
fixes a bug introduced in bzr 0.91. (Andrew Bennetts, #146715)
2113
2114
* Commands reporting exceptions can now be profiled and still have their
2115
data correctly dumped to a file. For example, a ``bzr commit`` with
2116
no changes still reports the operation as pointless but doing so no
2117
longer throws away the profiling data if this command is run with
2118
``--lsprof-file callgrind.out.ci`` say. (Ian Clatworthy)
2119
2120
* Fallback to ftp when paramiko is not installed and sftp can't be used for
2121
``tests/commands`` so that the test suite is still usable without
2122
paramiko.
2123
(Vincent Ladeuil, #59150)
2124
2125
* Fix commit ordering in corner case. (Aaron Bentley, #94975)
2126
2127
* Fix long standing bug in partial commit when there are renames
2128
left in tree. (Robert Collins, #140419)
2129
2130
* Fix selftest semi-random noise during http related tests.
2131
(Vincent Ladeuil, #140614)
2132
2133
* Fix typo in ftp.py making the reconnection fail on temporary errors.
2134
(Vincent Ladeuil, #154259)
2135
2136
* Fix failing test by comparing real paths to cover the case where the TMPDIR
2137
contains a symbolic link.
2138
(Vincent Ladeuil, #141382).
2139
2140
* Fix log against smart server branches that don't support tags.
2141
(James Westby, #140615)
2142
2143
* Fix pycurl http implementation by defining error codes from
2144
pycurl instead of relying on an old curl definition.
2145
(Vincent Ladeuil, #147530)
2146
2147
* Fix 'unprintable error' message when displaying BzrCheckError and
2148
some other exceptions on Python 2.5.
2149
(Martin Pool, #144633)
2150
2151
* Fix ``Inventory.copy()`` and add test for it. (Jelmer Vernooij)
2152
2153
* Handles default value for ListOption in cmd_commit.
2154
(Vincent Ladeuil, #140432)
2155
2156
* HttpServer and FtpServer need to be closed properly or a listening socket
2157
will remain opened.
2158
(Vincent Ladeuil, #140055)
2159
2160
* Monitor the .bzr directory created in the top level test
2161
directory to detect leaking tests.
2162
(Vincent Ladeuil, #147986)
2163
2164
* The basename, not the full path, is now used when checking whether
2165
the profiling dump file begins with ``callgrind.out`` or not. This
2166
fixes a bug reported by Aaron Bentley on IRC. (Ian Clatworthy)
2167
2168
* Trivial fix for invoking command ``reconfigure`` without arguments.
2169
(Rob Weir, #141629)
2170
2171
* ``WorkingTree.rename_one`` will now raise an error if normalisation of the
2172
new path causes bzr to be unable to access the file. (Robert Collins)
2173
2174
* Correctly detect a NoSuchFile when using a filezilla server. (Gary van der
2175
Merwe)
2176
2177
API BREAKS:
2178
2179
* ``bzrlib.index.GraphIndex`` now requires a size parameter to the
2180
constructor, for enabling bisection searches. (Robert Collins)
2181
2182
* ``CommitBuilder.record_entry_contents`` now requires the root entry of a
2183
tree be supplied to it, previously failing to do so would trigger a
2184
deprecation warning. (Robert Collins)
2185
2186
* ``KnitVersionedFile.add*`` will no longer cache added records even when
2187
enable_cache() has been called - the caching feature is now exclusively for
2188
reading existing data. (Robert Collins)
2189
2190
* ``ReadOnlyLockError`` is deprecated; ``LockFailed`` is usually more
2191
appropriate. (Martin Pool)
2192
2193
* Removed ``bzrlib.transport.TransportLogger`` - please see the new
2194
``trace+`` transport instead. (Robert Collins)
2195
2196
* Removed previously deprecated varargs interface to ``TestCase.run_bzr`` and
2197
deprecated methods ``TestCase.capture`` and ``TestCase.run_bzr_captured``.
2198
(Martin Pool)
2199
2200
* Removed previous deprecated ``basis_knit`` parameter to the
2201
``KnitVersionedFile`` constructor. (Robert Collins)
2202
2203
* Special purpose method ``TestCase.run_bzr_decode`` is moved to the test_non_ascii
2204
class that needs it.
2205
(Martin Pool)
2206
2207
* The class ``bzrlib.repofmt.knitrepo.KnitRepository3`` has been folded into
2208
``KnitRepository`` by parameters to the constructor. (Robert Collins)
2209
2210
* The ``VersionedFile`` interface now allows content checks to be bypassed
2211
by supplying check_content=False. This saves nearly 30% of the minimum
2212
cost to store a version of a file. (Robert Collins)
2213
2214
* Tree's with bad state such as files with no length or sha will no longer
2215
be silently accepted by the repository XML serialiser. To serialise
2216
inventories without such data, pass working=True to write_inventory.
2217
(Robert Collins)
2218
2219
* ``VersionedFile.fix_parents`` has been removed as a harmful API.
2220
``VersionedFile.join`` will no longer accept different parents on either
2221
side of a join - it will either ignore them, or error, depending on the
2222
implementation. See notes when upgrading for more information.
2223
(Robert Collins)
2224
2225
INTERNALS:
2226
2227
* ``bzrlib.transport.Transport.put_file`` now returns the number of bytes
2228
put by the method call, to allow avoiding stat-after-write or
2229
housekeeping in callers. (Robert Collins)
2230
2231
* ``bzrlib.xml_serializer.Serializer`` is now responsible for checking that
2232
mandatory attributes are present on serialisation and deserialisation.
2233
This fixes some holes in API usage and allows better separation between
2234
physical storage and object serialisation. (Robert Collins)
2235
2236
* New class ``bzrlib.errors.InternalBzrError`` which is just a convenient
2237
shorthand for deriving from BzrError and setting internal_error = True.
2238
(Robert Collins)
2239
2240
* New method ``bzrlib.mutabletree.update_to_one_parent_via_delta`` for
2241
moving the state of a parent tree to a new version via a delta rather than
2242
a complete replacement tree. (Robert Collins)
2243
2244
* New method ``bzrlib.osutils.minimum_path_selection`` useful for removing
2245
duplication from user input, when a user mentions both a path and an item
2246
contained within that path. (Robert Collins)
2247
2248
* New method ``bzrlib.repository.Repository.is_write_locked`` useful for
2249
determining if a repository is write locked. (Robert Collins)
2250
2251
* New method on ``bzrlib.tree.Tree`` ``path_content_summary`` provides a
2252
tuple containing the key information about a path for commit processing
2253
to complete. (Robert Collins)
2254
2255
* New method on xml serialisers, write_inventory_to_lines, which matches the
2256
API used by knits for adding content. (Robert Collins)
2257
2258
* New module ``bzrlib.bisect_multi`` with generic multiple-bisection-at-once
2259
logic, currently only available for byte-based lookup
2260
(``bisect_multi_bytes``). (Robert Collins)
2261
2262
* New helper ``bzrlib.tuned_gzip.bytes_to_gzip`` which takes a byte string
2263
and returns a gzipped version of the same. This is used to avoid a bunch
2264
of api friction during adding of knit hunks. (Robert Collins)
2265
2266
* New parameter on ``bzrlib.transport.Transport.readv``
2267
``adjust_for_latency`` which changes readv from returning strictly the
2268
requested data to inserted return larger ranges and in forward read order
2269
to reduce the effect of network latency. (Robert Collins)
2270
2271
* New parameter yield_parents on ``Inventory.iter_entries_by_dir`` which
2272
causes the parents of a selected id to be returned recursively, so all the
2273
paths from the root down to each element of selected_file_ids are
2274
returned. (Robert Collins)
2275
2276
* Knit joining has been enhanced to support plain to annotated conversion
2277
and annotated to plain conversion. (Ian Clatworthy)
2278
2279
* The CommitBuilder method ``record_entry_contents`` now returns summary
2280
information about the effect of the commit on the repository. This tuple
2281
contains an inventory delta item if the entry changed from the basis, and a
2282
boolean indicating whether a new file graph node was recorded.
2283
(Robert Collins)
2284
2285
* The python path used in the Makefile can now be overridden.
2286
(Andrew Bennetts, Ian Clatworthy)
2287
2288
TESTING:
2289
2290
* New transport implementation ``trace+`` which is useful for testing,
2291
logging activity taken to its _activity attribute. (Robert Collins)
2292
2293
* When running bzr commands within the test suite, internal exceptions are
2294
not caught and reported in the usual way, but rather allowed to propagate
2295
up and be visible to the test suite. A new API ``run_bzr_catch_user_errors``
2296
makes this behavior available to other users.
2297
(Martin Pool)
2298
2299
* New method ``TestCase.call_catch_warnings`` for testing methods that
2300
raises a Python warning. (Martin Pool)

2310
(Lukáš Lalinský, Alexander Belchenko)
2311
2312
* Fix commit ordering in corner case (Aaron Bentley, #94975)
2313
2314
* Fix ''bzr info bzr://host/'' and other operations on ''bzr://' URLs with
2315
an implicit port. We were incorrectly raising PathNotChild due to
2316
inconsistent treatment of the ''_port'' attribute on the Transport object.
2317
(Andrew Bennetts, #133965)
2318
2319
* Make RemoteRepository.sprout cope gracefully with servers that don't
2320
support the ``Repository.tarball`` request.

* The default branch and repository format has changed to
2337
``dirstate-tags``, so tag commands are active by default.
2338
This format is compatible with Bazaar 0.15 and later.
2339
This incidentally fixes bug #126141.
2340
(Martin Pool)
2341
2342
* ``--quiet`` or ``-q`` is no longer a global option. If present, it
2343
must now appear after the command name. Scripts doing things like
2344
``bzr -q missing`` need to be rewritten as ``bzr missing -q``.
2345
(Ian Clatworthy)
2346
2347
FEATURES:
2348
2349
* New option ``--author`` in ``bzr commit`` to specify the author of the
2350
change, if it's different from the committer. ``bzr log`` and
2351
``bzr annotate`` display the author instead of the committer.
2352
(Lukáš Lalinský)
2353
2354
* In addition to global options and command specific options, a set of
2355
standard options are now supported. Standard options are legal for
2356
all commands. The initial set of standard options are:
2357
2358
* ``--help`` or ``-h`` - display help message
2359
* ``--verbose`` or ``-v`` - display additional information
2360
* ``--quiet`` or ``-q`` - only output warnings and errors.
2361
2362
Unlike global options, standard options can be used in aliases and
2363
may have command-specific help. (Ian Clatworthy)
2364
2365
* Verbosity level processing has now been unified. If ``--verbose``
2366
or ``-v`` is specified on the command line multiple times, the
2367
verbosity level is made positive the first time then increased.
2368
If ``--quiet`` or ``-q`` is specified on the command line
2369
multiple times, the verbosity level is made negative the first
2370
time then decreased. To get the default verbosity level of zero,
2371
either specify none of the above , ``--no-verbose`` or ``--no-quiet``.
2372
Note that most commands currently ignore the magnitude of the
2373
verbosity level but do respect *quiet vs normal vs verbose* when
2374
generating output. (Ian Clatworthy)
2375
2376
* ``Branch.hooks`` now supports ``pre_commit`` hook. The hook's signature
2377
is documented in BranchHooks constructor. (Nam T. Nguyen, #102747)
2378
2379
* New ``Repository.stream_knit_data_for_revisions`` request added to the
2380
network protocol for greatly reduced roundtrips when retrieving a set of
2381
revisions. (Andrew Bennetts)
2382
2383
BUG FIXES:
2384
2385
* ``bzr plugins`` now lists the version number for each plugin in square
2386
brackets after the path. (Robert Collins, #125421)
2387
2388
* Pushing, pulling and branching branches with subtree references was not
2389
copying the subtree weave, preventing the file graph from being accessed
2390
and causing errors in commits in clones. (Robert Collins)
2391
2392
* Suppress warning "integer argument expected, got float" from Paramiko,
2393
which sometimes caused false test failures. (Martin Pool)
2394
2395
* Fix bug in bundle 4 that could cause attempts to write data to wrong
2396
versionedfile. (Aaron Bentley)
2397
2398
* Diffs generated using "diff -p" no longer break the patch parser.
2399
(Aaron Bentley)
2400
2401
* get_transport treats an empty possible_transports list the same as a non-
2402
empty one. (Aaron Bentley)
2403
2404
* patch verification for merge directives is reactivated, and works with
2405
CRLF and CR files. (Aaron Bentley)
2406
2407
* Accept ..\ as a path in revision specifiers. This fixes for example
2408
"-r branch:..\other-branch" on Windows. (Lukáš Lalinský)
2409
2410
* ``BZR_PLUGIN_PATH`` may now contain trailing slashes.
2411
(Blake Winton, #129299)
2412
2413
* man page no longer lists hidden options (#131667, Aaron Bentley)
2414
2415
* ``uncommit --help`` now explains the -r option adequately. (Daniel
2416
Watkins, #106726)
2417
2418
* Error messages are now better formatted with parameters (such as
2419
filenames) quoted when necessary. This avoids confusion when directory
2420
names ending in a '.' at the end of messages were confused with a
2421
full stop that may or not have been there. (Daniel Watkins, #129791)
2422
2423
* Fix ``status FILE -r X..Y``. (Lukáš Lalinský)
2424
2425
* If a particular command is an alias, ``help`` will show the alias
2426
instead of claiming there is no help for said alias. (Daniel Watkins,
2427
#133548)
2428
2429
* TreeTransform-based operations, like pull, merge, revert, and branch,
2430
now roll back if they encounter an error. (Aaron Bentley, #67699)
2431
2432
* ``bzr commit`` now exits cleanly if a character unsupported by the
2433
current encoding is used in the commit message. (Daniel Watkins,
2434
#116143)
2435
2436
* bzr send uses default values for ranges when only half of an elipsis
2437
is specified ("-r..5" or "-r5.."). (#61685, Aaron Bentley)
2438
2439
* Avoid trouble when Windows ssh calls itself 'plink' but no plink
2440
binary is present. (Martin Albisetti, #107155)
2441
2442
* ``bzr remove`` should remove clean subtrees. Now it will remove (without
2443
needing ``--force``) subtrees that contain no files with text changes or
2444
modified files. With ``--force`` it removes the subtree regardless of
2445
text changes or unknown files. Directories with renames in or out (but
2446
not changed otherwise) will now be removed without needing ``--force``.
2447
Unknown ignored files will be deleted without needing ``--force``.
2448
(Marius Kruger, #111665)
2449
2450
* When two plugins conflict, the source of both the losing and now the
2451
winning definition is shown. (Konstantin Mikhaylov, #5454)
2452
2453
* When committing to a branch, the location being committed to is
2454
displayed. (Daniel Watkins, #52479)
2455
2456
* ``bzr --version`` takes care about encoding of stdout, especially
2457
when output is redirected. (Alexander Belchenko, #131100)
2458
2459
* Prompt for an ftp password if none is provided.
2460
(Vincent Ladeuil, #137044)
2461
2462
* Reuse bound branch associated transport to avoid multiple
2463
connections.
2464
(Vincent Ladeuil, #128076, #131396)
2465
2466
* Overwrite conflicting tags by ``push`` and ``pull`` if the
2467
``--overwrite`` option is specified. (Lukáš Lalinský, #93947)
2468
2469
* In checkouts, tags are copied into the master branch when created,
2470
changed or deleted, and are copied into the checkout when it is
2471
updated. (Martin Pool, #93856, #93860)
2472
2473
* Print a warning instead of aborting the ``python setup.py install``
2474
process if building of a C extension is not possible.
2475
(Lukáš Lalinský, Alexander Belchenko)
2476
2477
IMPROVEMENTS:
2478
2479
* Add the option "--show-diff" to the commit command in order to display
2480
the diff during the commit log creation. (Goffredo Baroncelli)
2481
2482
* ``pull`` and ``merge`` are much faster at installing bundle format 4.
2483
(Aaron Bentley)
2484
2485
* ``pull -v`` no longer includes deltas, making it much faster.
2486
(Aaron Bentley)
2487
2488
* ``send`` now sends the directive as an attachment by default.
2489
(Aaron Bentley, Lukáš Lalinský, Alexander Belchenko)
2490
2491
* Documentation updates (Martin Albisetti)
2492
2493
* Help on debug flags is now included in ``help global-options``.
2494
(Daniel Watkins, #124853)
2495
2496
* Parameters passed on the command line are checked to ensure they are
2497
supported by the encoding in use. (Daniel Watkins)
2498
2499
* The compression used within the bzr repository has changed from zlib
2500
level 9 to the zlib default level. This improves commit performance with
2501
only a small increase in space used (and in some cases a reduction in
2502
space). (Robert Collins)
2503
2504
* Initial commit no longer SHAs files twice and now reuses the path
2505
rather than looking it up again, making it faster.
2506
(Ian Clatworthy)
2507
2508
* New option ``-c``/``--change`` for ``diff`` and ``status`` to show
2509
changes in one revision. (Lukáš Lalinský)
2510
2511
* If versioned files match a given ignore pattern, a warning is now
2512
given. (Daniel Watkins, #48623)
2513
2514
* ``bzr status`` now has -S as a short name for --short and -V as a
2515
short name for --versioned. These have been added to assist users
2516
migrating from Subversion: ``bzr status -SV`` is now like
2517
``svn status -q``. (Daniel Watkins, #115990)
2518
2519
* Added C implementation of ``PatienceSequenceMatcher``, which is about
2520
10x faster than the Python version. This speeds up commands that
2521
need file diffing, such as ``bzr commit`` or ``bzr diff``.
2522
(Lukáš Lalinský)
2523
2524
* HACKING has been extended with a large section on core developer tasks.
2525
(Ian Clatworthy)
2526
2527
* Add ``branches`` and ``standalone-trees`` as online help topics and
2528
include them as Concepts within the User Reference.
2529
(Paul Moore, Ian Clatworthy)
2530
2531
* ``check`` can detect versionedfile parent references that are
2532
inconsistent with revision and inventory info, and ``reconcile`` can fix
2533
them. These faulty references were generated by 0.8-era releases,
2534
so repositories which were manipulated by old bzrs should be
2535
checked, and possibly reconciled ASAP. (Aaron Bentley, Andrew Bennetts)
2536
2537
API BREAKS:
2538
2539
* ``Branch.append_revision`` is removed altogether; please use
2540
``Branch.set_last_revision_info`` instead. (Martin Pool)
2541
2542
* CommitBuilder now advertises itself as requiring the root entry to be
2543
supplied. This only affects foreign repository implementations which reuse
2544
CommitBuilder directly and have changed record_entry_contents to require
2545
that the root not be supplied. This should be precisely zero plugins
2546
affected. (Robert Collins)
2547
2548
* The ``add_lines`` methods on ``VersionedFile`` implementations has changed
2549
its return value to include the sha1 and length of the inserted text. This
2550
allows the avoidance of double-sha1 calculations during commit.
2551
(Robert Collins)
2552
2553
* ``Transport.should_cache`` has been removed. It was not called in the
2554
previous release. (Martin Pool)
2555
2556
TESTING:
2557
2558
* Tests may now raise TestNotApplicable to indicate they shouldn't be
2559
run in a particular scenario. (Martin Pool)
2560
2561
* New function multiply_tests_from_modules to give a simpler interface
2562
to test parameterization. (Martin Pool, Robert Collins)
2563
2564
* ``Transport.should_cache`` has been removed. It was not called in the
2565
previous release. (Martin Pool)
2566
2567
* NULL_REVISION is returned to indicate the null revision, not None.
2568
(Aaron Bentley)
2569
2570
* Use UTF-8 encoded StringIO for log tests to avoid failures on
2571
non-ASCII committer names. (Lukáš Lalinský)
2572
2573
INTERNALS:
2574
2575
* ``bzrlib.plugin.all_plugins`` has been deprecated in favour of
2576
``bzrlib.plugin.plugins()`` which returns PlugIn objects that provide
2577
useful functionality for determining the path of a plugin, its tests, and
2578
its version information. (Robert Collins)
2579
2580
* Add the option user_encoding to the function 'show_diff_trees()'
2581
in order to move the user encoding at the UI level. (Goffredo Baroncelli)
2582
2583
* Add the function make_commit_message_template_encoded() and the function
2584
edit_commit_message_encoded() which handle encoded strings.
2585
This is done in order to mix the commit messages (which is a unicode
2586
string), and the diff which is a raw string. (Goffredo Baroncelli)
2587
2588
* CommitBuilder now defaults to using add_lines_with_ghosts, reducing
2589
overhead on non-weave repositories which don't require all parents to be
2590
present. (Robert Collins)
2591
2592
* Deprecated method ``find_previous_heads`` on
2593
``bzrlib.inventory.InventoryEntry``. This has been superseded by the use
2594
of ``parent_candidates`` and a separate heads check via the repository
2595
API. (Robert Collins)
2596
2597
* New trace function ``mutter_callsite`` will print out a subset of the
2598
stack to the log, which can be useful for gathering debug details.
2599
(Robert Collins)
2600
2601
* ``bzrlib.pack.ContainerWriter`` now tracks how many records have been
2602
added via a public attribute records_written. (Robert Collins)
2603
2604
* New method ``bzrlib.transport.Transport.get_recommended_page_size``.
2605
This provides a hint to users of transports as to the reasonable
2606
minimum data to read. In principle this can take latency and
2607
bandwidth into account on a per-connection basis, but for now it
2608
just has hard coded values based on the url. (e.g. http:// has a large
2609
page size, file:// has a small one.) (Robert Collins)
2610
2611
* New method on ``bzrlib.transport.Transport`` ``open_write_stream`` allows
2612
incremental addition of data to a file without requiring that all the
2613
data be buffered in memory. (Robert Collins)
2614
2615
* New methods on ``bzrlib.knit.KnitVersionedFile``:
2616
``get_data_stream(versions)``, ``insert_data_stream(stream)`` and
2617
``get_format_signature()``. These provide some infrastructure for
2618
efficiently streaming the knit data for a set of versions over the smart
2619
protocol.
2620
2621
* Knits with no annotation cache still produce correct annotations.
2622
(Aaron Bentley)
2623
2624
* Three new methods have been added to ``bzrlib.trace``:
2625
``set_verbosity_level``, ``get_verbosity_level`` and ``is_verbose``.
2626
``set_verbosity_level`` expects a numeric value: negative for quiet,
2627
zero for normal, positive for verbose. The size of the number can be
2628
used to determine just how quiet or verbose the application should be.
2629
The existing ``be_quiet`` and ``is_quiet`` routines have been
2630
integrated into this new scheme. (Ian Clatworthy)
2631
2632
* Options can now be delcared with a ``custom_callback`` parameter. If
2633
set, this routine is called after the option is processed. This feature
2634
is now used by the standard options ``verbose`` and ``quiet`` so that
2635
setting one implicitly resets the other. (Ian Clatworthy)
2636
2637
* Rather than declaring a new option from scratch in order to provide
2638
custom help, a centrally registered option can be decorated using the
2639
new ``bzrlib.Option.custom_help`` routine. In particular, this routine
2640
is useful when declaring better help for the ``verbose`` and ``quiet``
2641
standard options as the base definition of these is now more complex
2642
than before thanks to their use of a custom callback. (Ian Clatworthy)
2643
2644
* Tree._iter_changes(specific_file=[]) now iterates through no files,
2645
instead of iterating through all files. None is used to iterate through
2646
all files. (Aaron Bentley)
2647
2648
* WorkingTree.revert() now accepts None to revert all files. The use of
2649
[] to revert all files is deprecated. (Aaron Bentley)
2650
2651
2652
bzr 0.90 2007-08-28
2653
-------------------
2654
2655
IMPROVEMENTS:
2656
2657
* Documentation is now organized into multiple directories with a level
2658
added for different languages or locales. Added the Mini Tutorial
2659
and Quick Start Summary (en) documents from the Wiki, improving the
2660
content and readability of the former. Formatted NEWS as Release Notes
2661
complete with a Table of Conents, one heading per release. Moved the
2662
Developer Guide into the main document catalog and provided a link
2663
from the developer document catalog back to the main one.
2664
(Ian Clatworthy, Sabin Iacob, Alexander Belchenko)
2665
2666
2667
API CHANGES:
2668
2669
* The static convenience method ``BzrDir.create_repository``
2670
is deprecated. Callers should instead create a ``BzrDir`` instance
2671
and call ``create_repository`` on that. (Martin Pool)
2672
2673
2674
bzr 0.90rc1 2007-08-14
2675
----------------------
2676
2677
BUGFIXES:
2678
2679
* ``bzr init`` should connect to the remote location one time only. We
2680
have been connecting several times because we forget to pass around the
2681
Transport object. This modifies ``BzrDir.create_branch_convenience``,
2682
so that we can give it the Transport we already have.
2683
(John Arbash Meinel, Vincent Ladeuil, #111702)
2684
2685
* Get rid of sftp connection cache (get rid of the FTP one too).
2686
(Vincent Ladeuil, #43731)
2687
2688
* bzr branch {local|remote} remote don't try to create a working tree
2689
anymore.
2690
(Vincent Ladeuil, #112173)
2691
2692
* All identified multiple connections for a single bzr command have been
2693
fixed. See bzrlib/tests/commands directory.
2694
(Vincent Ladeuil)
2695
2696
* ``bzr rm`` now does not insist on ``--force`` to delete files that
2697
have been renamed but not otherwise modified. (Marius Kruger,
2698
#111664)
2699
2700
* ``bzr selftest --bench`` no longer emits deprecation warnings
2701
(Lukáš Lalinský)
2702
2703
* ``bzr status`` now honours FILE parameters for conflict lists
2704
(Aaron Bentley, #127606)
2705
2706
* ``bzr checkout`` now honours -r when reconstituting a working tree.
2707
It also honours -r 0. (Aaron Bentley, #127708)
2708
2709
* ``bzr add *`` no more fails on Windows if working tree contains
2710
non-ascii file names. (Kuno Meyer, #127361)
2711
2712
* allow ``easy_install bzr`` runs without fatal errors.
2713
(Alexander Belchenko, #125521)
2714
2715
* Graph._filter_candidate_lca does not raise KeyError if a candidate
2716
is eliminated just before it would normally be examined. (Aaron Bentley)
2717
2718
* SMTP connection failures produce a nice message, not a traceback.
2719
(Aaron Bentley)
2720
2721
IMPROVEMENTS:
2722
2723
* Don't show "dots" progress indicators when run non-interactively, such
2724
as from cron. (Martin Pool)
2725
2726
* ``info`` now formats locations more nicely and lists "submit" and
2727
"public" branches (Aaron Bentley)
2728
2729
* New ``pack`` command that will trigger database compression within
2730
the repository (Robert Collins)
2731
2732
* Implement ``_KnitIndex._load_data`` in a pyrex extension. The pyrex
2733
version is approximately 2-3x faster at parsing a ``.kndx`` file.
2734
Which yields a measurable improvement for commands which have to
2735
read from the repository, such as a 1s => 0.75s improvement in
2736
``bzr diff`` when there are changes to be shown. (John Arbash Meinel)
2737
2738
* Merge is now faster. Depending on the scenario, it can be more than 2x
2739
faster. (Aaron Bentley)
2740
2741
* Give a clearer warning, and allow ``python setup.py install`` to
2742
succeed even if pyrex is not available.
2743
(John Arbash Meinel)
2744
2745
* ``DirState._read_dirblocks`` now has an optional Pyrex
2746
implementation. This improves the speed of any command that has to
2747
read the entire DirState. (``diff``, ``status``, etc, improve by
2748
about 10%).
2749
``bisect_dirblocks`` has also been improved, which helps all
2750
``_get_entry`` type calls (whenever we are searching for a
2751
particular entry in the in-memory DirState).
2752
(John Arbash Meinel)
2753
2754
* ``bzr pull`` and ``bzr push`` no longer do a complete walk of the
2755
branch revision history for ui display unless -v is supplied.
2756
(Robert Collins)
2757
2758
* ``bzr log -rA..B`` output shifted to the left margin if the log only
2759
contains merge revisions. (Kent Gibson)
2760
2761
* The ``plugins`` command is now public with improved help.
2762
(Ian Clatworthy)
2763
2764
* New bundle and merge directive formats are faster to generate, and
2765
2766
* Annotate merge now works when there are local changes. (Aaron Bentley)
2767
2768
* Commit now only shows the progress in terms of directories instead of
2769
entries. (Ian Clatworthy)
2770
2771
* Fix ``KnitRepository.get_revision_graph`` to not request the graph 2
2772
times. This makes ``get_revision_graph`` 2x faster. (John Arbash
2773
Meinel)
2774
2775
* Fix ``VersionedFile.get_graph()`` to avoid using
2776
``set.difference_update(other)``, which has bad scaling when
2777
``other`` is large. This improves ``VF.get_graph([version_id])`` for
2778
a 12.5k graph from 2.9s down to 200ms. (John Arbash Meinel)
2779
2780
* The ``--lsprof-file`` option now generates output for KCacheGrind if
2781
the file starts with ``callgrind.out``. This matches the default file
2782
filtering done by KCacheGrind's Open Dialog. (Ian Clatworthy)
2783
2784
* Fix ``bzr update`` to avoid an unnecessary
2785
``branch.get_master_branch`` call, which avoids 1 extra connection
2786
to the remote server. (Partial fix for #128076, John Arbash Meinel)
2787
2788
* Log errors from the smart server in the trace file, to make debugging
2789
test failures (and live failures!) easier. (Andrew Bennetts)
2790
2791
* The HTML version of the man page has been superceded by a more
2792
comprehensive manual called the Bazaar User Reference. This manual
2793
is completed generated from the online help topics. As part of this
2794
change, limited reStructuredText is now explicitly supported in help
2795
topics and command help with 'unnatural' markup being removed prior
2796
to display by the online help or inclusion in the man page.
2797
(Ian Clatworthy)
2798
2799
* HTML documentation now use files extension ``*.html``
2800
(Alexander Belchenko)
2801
2802
* The cache of ignore definitions is now cleared in WorkingTree.unlock()
2803
so that changes to .bzrignore aren't missed. (#129694, Daniel Watkins)
2804
2805
* ``bzr selftest --strict`` fails if there are any missing features or
2806
expected test failures. (Daniel Watkins, #111914)
2807
2808
* Link to registration survey added to README. (Ian Clatworthy)
2809
2810
* Windows standalone installer show link to registration survey
2811
when installation finished. (Alexander Belchenko)
2812
2813
LIBRARY API BREAKS:
2814
2815
* Deprecated dictionary ``bzrlib.option.SHORT_OPTIONS`` removed.
2816
Options are now required to provide a help string and it must
2817
comply with the style guide by being one or more sentences with an
2818
initial capital and final period. (Martin Pool)
2819
2820
* KnitIndex.get_parents now returns tuples. (Robert Collins)
2821
2822
* Ancient unused ``Repository.text_store`` attribute has been removed.
2823
(Robert Collins)
2824
2825
* The ``bzrlib.pack`` interface has changed to use tuples of bytestrings
2826
rather than just bytestrings, making it easier to represent multiple
2827
element names. As this interface was not used by any internal facilities
2828
since it was introduced in 0.18 no API compatibility is being preserved.
2829
The serialised form of these packs is identical with 0.18 when a single
2830
element tuple is in use. (Robert Collins)
2831
2832
INTERNALS:
2833
2834
* merge now uses ``iter_changes`` to calculate changes, which makes room for
2835
future performance increases. It is also more consistent with other
2836
operations that perform comparisons, and reduces reliance on
2837
Tree.inventory. (Aaron Bentley)
2838
2839
* Refactoring of transport classes connected to a remote server.
2840
ConnectedTransport is a new class that serves as a basis for all
2841
transports needing to connect to a remote server. transport.split_url
2842
have been deprecated, use the static method on the object instead. URL
2843
tests have been refactored too.
2844
(Vincent Ladeuil)
2845
2846
* Better connection sharing for ConnectedTransport objects.
2847
transport.get_transport() now accepts a 'possible_transports' parameter.
2848
If a newly requested transport can share a connection with one of the
2849
list, it will.
2850
(Vincent Ladeuil)
2851
2852
* Most functions now accept ``bzrlib.revision.NULL_REVISION`` to indicate
2853
the null revision, and consider using ``None`` for this purpose
2854
deprecated. (Aaron Bentley)
2855
2856
* New ``index`` module with abstract index functionality. This will be
2857
used during the planned changes in the repository layer. Currently the
2858
index layer provides a graph aware immutable index, a builder for the
2859
same index type to allow creating them, and finally a composer for
2860
such indices to allow the use of many indices in a single query. The
2861
index performance is not optimised, however the API is stable to allow
2862
development on top of the index. (Robert Collins)
2863
2864
* ``bzrlib.dirstate.cmp_by_dirs`` can be used to compare two paths by
2865
their directory sections. This is equivalent to comparing
2866
``path.split('/')``, only without having to split the paths.
2867
This has a Pyrex implementation available.
2868
(John Arbash Meinel)
2869
2870
* New transport decorator 'unlistable+' which disables the list_dir
2871
functionality for testing.
2872
2873
* Deprecated ``change_entry`` in transform.py. (Ian Clatworthy)
2874
2875
* RevisionTree.get_weave is now deprecated. Tree.plan_merge is now used
2876
for performing annotate-merge. (Aaron Bentley)
2877
2878
* New EmailMessage class to create email messages. (Adeodato Simó)
2879
2880
* Unused functions on the private interface KnitIndex have been removed.
2881
(Robert Collins)
2882
2883
* New ``knit.KnitGraphIndex`` which provides a ``KnitIndex`` layered on top
2884
of a ``index.GraphIndex``. (Robert Collins)
2885
2886
* New ``knit.KnitVersionedFile.iter_parents`` method that allows querying
2887
the parents of many knit nodes at once, reducing round trips to the
2888
underlying index. (Robert Collins)
2889
2890
* Graph now has an is_ancestor method, various bits use it.
2891
(Aaron Bentley)
2892
2893
* The ``-Dhpss`` flag now includes timing information. As well as
2894
logging when a new connection is opened. (John Arbash Meinel)
2895
2896
* ``bzrlib.pack.ContainerWriter`` now returns an offset, length tuple to
2897
callers when inserting data, allowing generation of readv style access
2898
during pack creation, without needing a separate pass across the output
2899
pack to gather such details. (Robert Collins)
2900
2901
* ``bzrlib.pack.make_readv_reader`` allows readv based access to pack
2902
files that are stored on a transport. (Robert Collins)
2903
2904
* New ``Repository.has_same_location`` method that reports if two
2905
repository objects refer to the same repository (although with some risk
2906
of false negatives). (Andrew Bennetts)
2907
2908
* InterTree.compare now passes require_versioned on correctly.
2909
(Marius Kruger)
2910
2911
* New methods on Repository - ``start_write_group``,
2912
``commit_write_group``, ``abort_write_group`` and ``is_in_write_group`` -
2913
which provide a clean hook point for transactional Repositories - ones
2914
where all the data for a fetch or commit needs to be made atomically
2915
available in one step. This allows the write lock to remain while making
2916
a series of data insertions. (e.g. data conversion). (Robert Collins)
2917
2918
* In ``bzrlib.knit`` the internal interface has been altered to use
2919
3-tuples (index, pos, length) rather than two-tuples (pos, length) to
2920
describe where data in a knit is, allowing knits to be split into
2921
many files. (Robert Collins)
2922
2923
* ``bzrlib.knit._KnitData`` split into cache management and physical access
2924
with two access classes - ``_PackAccess`` and ``_KnitAccess`` defined.
2925
The former provides access into a .pack file, and the latter provides the
2926
current production repository form of .knit files. (Robert Collins)
2927
2928
TESTING:
2929
2930
* Remove selftest ``--clean-output``, ``--numbered-dirs`` and
2931
``--keep-output`` options, which are obsolete now that tests
2932
are done within directories in $TMPDIR. (Martin Pool)
2933
2934
* The SSH_AUTH_SOCK environment variable is now reset to avoid
2935
interaction with any running ssh agents. (Jelmer Vernooij, #125955)
2936
2937
* run_bzr_subprocess handles parameters the same way as run_bzr:
2938
either a string or a list of strings should be passed as the first
2939
parameter. Varargs-style parameters are deprecated. (Aaron Bentley)

2955
* Do not suppress pipe errors, etc. in non-display commands
2956
(Alexander Belchenko, #87178)
2957
2958
* Display a useful error message when the user requests to annotate
2959
a file that is not present in the specified revision.
2960
(James Westby, #122656)
2961
2962
* Commands that use status flags now have a reference to 'help

* Fix handling of http code 400: Bad Request When issuing too many ranges.
2977
(Vincent Ladeuil, #115209)

2980
via a proxy to enable SSL tunneling.
2981
(Vincent Ladeuil, #120678)
2982
2983
* Fix ``bzr log -r`` to support selecting merge revisions, both
2984
individually and as part of revision ranges.
2985
(Kent Gibson, #4663)
2986
2987
* Don't leave cruft behind when failing to acquire a lockdir.
2988
(Martin Pool, #109169)
2989
2990
* Don't use the '-f' strace option during tests.
2991
(Vincent Ladeuil, #102019).

2995
2996
* Fix commit ordering in corner case (Aaron Bentley, #94975)
2997
2998
* Make annotate behave in a non-ASCII world (Adeodato Simó).
2999
3000
IMPROVEMENTS:
3001
3002
* The --lsprof-file option now dumps a text rendering of the profiling
3003
information if the filename ends in ".txt". It will also convert the
3004
profiling information to a format suitable for KCacheGrind if the
3005
output filename ends in ".callgrind". Fixes to the lsprofcalltree
3006
conversion process by Jean Paul Calderone and Itamar were also merged.
3007
See http://ddaa.net/blog/python/lsprof-calltree. (Ian Clatworthy)
3008
3009
* ``info`` now defaults to non-verbose mode, displaying only paths and
3010
abbreviated format info. ``info -v`` displays all the information
3011
formerly displayed by ``info``. (Aaron Bentley, Adeodato Simó)
3012
3013
* ``bzr missing`` now has better option names ``--this`` and ``--other``.
3014
(Elliot Murphy)
3015
3016
* The internal ``weave-list`` command has become ``versionedfile-list``,
3017
and now lists knits as well as weaves. (Aaron Bentley)
3018
3019
* Automatic merge base selection uses a faster algorithm that chooses
3020
better bases in criss-cross merge situations (Aaron Bentley)
3021
3022
* Progress reporting in ``commit`` has been improved. The various logical
3023
stages are now reported on as follows, namely:
3024
3025
* Collecting changes [Entry x/y] - Stage n/m
3026
* Saving data locally - Stage n/m
3027
* Uploading data to master branch - Stage n/m
3028
* Updating the working tree - Stage n/m
3029
* Running post commit hooks - Stage n/m
3030
3031
If there is no master branch, the 3rd stage is omitted and the total
3032
number of stages is adjusted accordingly.
3033
3034
Each hook that is run after commit is listed with a name (as hooks
3035
can be slow it is useful feedback).
3036
(Ian Clatworthy, Robert Collins)
3037
3038
* Various operations that are now faster due to avoiding unnecessary
3039
topological sorts. (Aaron Bentley)
3040
3041
* Make merge directives robust against broken bundles. (Aaron Bentley)
3042
3043
* The lsprof filename note is emitted via trace.note(), not standard
3044
output. (Aaron Bentley)
3045
3046
* ``bzrlib`` now exports explicit API compatibility information to assist
3047
library users and plugins. See the ``bzrlib.api`` module for details.
3048
(Robert Collins)
3049
3050
* Remove unnecessary lock probes when acquiring a lockdir.
3051
(Martin Pool)
3052
3053
* ``bzr --version`` now shows the location of the bzr log file, which
3054
is especially useful on Windows. (Martin Pool)
3055
3056
* -D now supports hooks to get debug tracing of hooks (though its currently
3057
minimal in nature). (Robert Collins)
3058
3059
* Long log format reports deltas on merge revisions.
3060
(John Arbash Meinel, Kent Gibson)
3061
3062
* Make initial push over ftp more resilient. (John Arbash Meinel)
3063
3064
* Print a summary of changes for update just like pull does.
3065
(Daniel Watkins, #113990)
3066
3067
* Add a -Dhpss option to trace smart protocol requests and responses.
3068
(Andrew Bennetts)

3070
LIBRARY API BREAKS:
3071
3072
* Testing cleanups -
3073
``bzrlib.repository.RepositoryTestProviderAdapter`` has been moved
3074
to ``bzrlib.tests.repository_implementations``;
3075
``bzrlib.repository.InterRepositoryTestProviderAdapter`` has been moved
3076
to ``bzrlib.tests.interrepository_implementations``;
3077
``bzrlib.transport.TransportTestProviderAdapter`` has moved to
3078
``bzrlib.tests.test_transport_implementations``.
3079
``bzrlib.branch.BranchTestProviderAdapter`` has moved to
3080
``bzrlib.tests.branch_implementations``.
3081
``bzrlib.bzrdir.BzrDirTestProviderAdapter`` has moved to
3082
``bzrlib.tests.bzrdir_implementations``.
3083
``bzrlib.versionedfile.InterVersionedFileTestProviderAdapter`` has moved
3084
to ``bzrlib.tests.interversionedfile_implementations``.
3085
``bzrlib.store.revision.RevisionStoreTestProviderAdapter`` has moved to
3086
``bzrlib.tests.revisionstore_implementations``.
3087
``bzrlib.workingtree.WorkingTreeTestProviderAdapter`` has moved to
3088
``bzrlib.tests.workingtree_implementations``.
3089
These changes are an API break in the testing infrastructure only.
3090
(Robert Collins)
3091
3092
* Relocate TestCaseWithRepository to be more central. (Robert Collins)
3093
3094
* ``bzrlib.add.smart_add_tree`` will no longer perform glob expansion on
3095
win32. Callers of the function should do this and use the new
3096
``MutableTree.smart_add`` method instead. (Robert Collins)
3097
3098
* ``bzrlib.add.glob_expand_for_win32`` is now
3099
``bzrlib.win32utils.glob_expand``. (Robert Collins)
3100
3101
* ``bzrlib.add.FastPath`` is now private and moved to
3102
``bzrlib.mutabletree._FastPath``. (Robert Collins, Martin Pool)
3103
3104
* ``LockDir.wait`` removed. (Martin Pool)
3105
3106
* The ``SmartServer`` hooks API has changed for the ``server_started`` and
3107
``server_stopped`` hooks. The first parameter is now an iterable of
3108
backing URLs rather than a single URL. This is to reflect that many
3109
URLs may map to the external URL of the server. E.g. the server interally
3110
may have a chrooted URL but also the local file:// URL will be at the
3111
same location. (Robert Collins)
3112
3113
INTERNALS:
3114
3115
* New SMTPConnection class to unify email handling. (Adeodato Simó)
3116
3117
* Fix documentation of BzrError. (Adeodato Simó)
3118
3119
* Make BzrBadParameter an internal error. (Adeodato Simó)
3120
3121
* Remove use of 'assert False' to raise an exception unconditionally.
3122
(Martin Pool)
3123
3124
* Give a cleaner error when failing to decode knit index entry.
3125
(Martin Pool)
3126
3127
* TreeConfig would mistakenly search the top level when asked for options
3128
from a section. It now respects the section argument and only
3129
searches the specified section. (James Westby)
3130
3131
* Improve ``make api-docs`` output. (John Arbash Meinel)
3132
3133
* Use os.lstat rather than os.stat for osutils.make_readonly and
3134
osutils.make_writeable. This makes the difftools plugin more
3135
robust when dangling symlinks are found. (Elliot Murphy)
3136
3137
* New ``-Dlock`` option to log (to ~/.bzr.log) information on when
3138
lockdirs are taken or released. (Martin Pool)
3139
3140
* ``bzrlib`` Hooks are now nameable using ``Hooks.name_hook``. This
3141
allows a nicer UI when hooks are running as the current hook can
3142
be displayed. (Robert Collins)
3143
3144
* ``Transport.get`` has had its interface made more clear for ease of use.
3145
Retrieval of a directory must now fail with either 'PathError' at open
3146
time, or raise 'ReadError' on a read. (Robert Collins)
3147
3148
* New method ``_maybe_expand_globs`` on the ``Command`` class for
3149
dealing with unexpanded glob lists - e.g. on the win32 platform. This
3150
was moved from ``bzrlib.add._prepare_file_list``. (Robert Collins)
3151
3152
* ``bzrlib.add.smart_add`` and ``bzrlib.add.smart_add_tree`` are now
3153
deprecated in favour of ``MutableTree.smart_add``. (Robert Collins,
3154
Martin Pool)
3155
3156
* New method ``external_url`` on Transport for obtaining the url to
3157
hand to external processes. (Robert Collins)
3158
3159
* Teach windows installers to build pyrex/C extensions.
3160
(Alexander Belchenko)
3161
3162
TESTING:
3163
3164
* Removed the ``--keep-output`` option from selftest and clean up test
3165
directories as they're used. This reduces the IO load from
3166
running the test suite and cuts the time by about half.
3167
(Andrew Bennetts, Martin Pool)
3168
3169
* Add scenarios as a public attribute on the TestAdapter classes to allow
3170
modification of the generated scenarios before adaption and easier
3171
testing. (Robert Collins)
3172
3173
* New testing support class ``TestScenarioApplier`` which multiplies
3174
out a single teste by a list of supplied scenarios. (RobertCollins)
3175
3176
* Setting ``repository_to_test_repository`` on a repository_implementations
3177
test will cause it to be called during repository creation, allowing the
3178
testing of repository classes which are not based around the Format
3179
concept. For example a repository adapter can be tested in this manner,
3180
by altering the repository scenarios to include a scenario that sets this
3181
attribute during the test parameterisation in
3182
``bzrlib.tests.repository.repository_implementations``. (Robert Collins)
3183
3184
* Clean up many of the APIs for blackbox testing of Bazaar. The standard
3185
interface is now self.run_bzr. The command to run can be passed as
3186
either a list of parameters, a string containing the command line, or
3187
(deprecated) varargs parameters. (Martin Pool)
3188
3189
* The base TestCase now isolates tests from -D parameters by clearing
3190
``debug.debug_flags`` and restores it afterwards. (Robert Collins)
3191
3192
* Add a relpath parameter to get_transport methods in test framework to
3193
avoid useless cloning.

NOTES WHEN UPGRADING:
3213
3214
* The kind() and is_executable() APIs on the WorkingTree interface no
3215
longer implicitly (read) locks and unlocks the tree. This *might*
3216
impact some plug-ins and tools using this part of the API. If you find
3217
an issue that may be caused by this change, please let us know,
3218
particularly the plug-in/tool maintainer. If encountered, the API
3219
fix is to surround kind() and is_executable() calls with lock_read()
3220
and unlock() like so::
3221
3222
work_tree.lock_read()
3223
try:
3224
kind = work_tree.kind(...)
3225
finally:
3226
work_tree.unlock()
3227
3228
INTERNALS:
3229
* Rework of LogFormatter API to provide beginning/end of log hooks and to
3230
encapsulate the details of the revision to be logged in a LogRevision
3231
object.
3232
In long log formats, merge revision ids are only shown when --show-ids
3233
is specified, and are labelled "revision-id:", as per mainline
3234
revisions, instead of "merged:". (Kent Gibson)
3235
3236
* New ``BranchBuilder`` API which allows the construction of particular
3237
histories quickly. Useful for testing and potentially other applications
3238
too. (Robert Collins)
3239
3240
IMPROVEMENTS:
3241
3242
* There are two new help topics, working-trees and repositories that
3243
attempt to explain these concepts. (James Westby, John Arbash Meinel,

* Added ``bzr log --limit`` to report a limited number of revisions.
3247
(Kent Gibson, #3659)
3248
3249
* Revert does not try to preserve file contents that were originally
3250
produced by reverting to a historical revision. (Aaron Bentley)
3251
3252
* ``bzr log --short`` now includes ``[merge]`` for revisions which
3253
have more than one parent. This is a small improvement to help
3254
understanding what changes have occurred
3255
(John Arbash Meinel, #83887)
3256
3257
* TreeTransform avoids many renames when contructing large trees,
3258
improving speed. 3.25x speedups have been observed for construction of
3259
kernel-sized-trees, and checkouts are 1.28x faster. (Aaron Bentley)
3260
3261
* Commit on large trees is now faster. In my environment, a commit of
3262
a small change to the Mozilla tree (55k files) has dropped from
3263
66 seconds to 32 seconds. For a small tree of 600 files, commit of a
3264
small change is 33% faster. (Ian Clatworthy)
3265
3266
* New --create-prefix option to bzr init, like for push. (Daniel Watkins,
3267
#56322)
3268
3269
BUGFIXES:
3270
3271
* ``bzr push`` should only connect to the remote location one time.
3272
We have been connecting 3 times because we forget to pass around
3273
the Transport object. This adds ``BzrDir.clone_on_transport()``, so
3274
that we can pass in the Transport that we already have.
3275
(John Arbash Meinel, #75721)
3276
3277
* ``DirState.set_state_from_inventory()`` needs to properly order
3278
based on split paths, not just string paths.
3279
(John Arbash Meinel, #115947)
3280
3281
* Let TestUIFactoy encode the password prompt with its own stdout.
3282
(Vincent Ladeuil, #110204)
3283
3284
* pycurl should take use the range header that takes the range hint
3285
into account.
3286
(Vincent Ladeuil, #112719)
3287
3288
* WorkingTree4.get_file_sha1 no longer raises an exception when invoked
3289
on a missing file. (Aaron Bentley, #118186)
3290
3291
* WorkingTree.remove works correctly with tree references, and when pwd is
3292
not the tree root. (Aaron Bentley)
3293
3294
* Merge no longer fails when a file is renamed in one tree and deleted
3295
in the other. (Aaron Bentley, #110279)
3296
3297
* ``revision-info`` now accepts dotted revnos, doesn't require a tree,
3298
and defaults to the last revision (Matthew Fuller, #90048)
3299
3300
* Tests no longer fail when BZR_REMOTE_PATH is set in the environment.
3301
(Daniel Watkins, #111958)
3302
3303
* ``bzr branch -r revid:foo`` can be used to branch any revision in
3304
your repository. (Previously Branch6 only supported revisions in your
3305
mainline). (John Arbash Meinel, #115343)
3306
3307
bzr 0.16 2007-05-07
3308
--------------------
3309
3310
BUGFIXES:
3311
3312
* Handle when you have 2 directories with similar names, but one has a
3313
hyphen. (``'abc'`` versus ``'abc-2'``). The WT4._iter_changes
3314
iterator was using direct comparison and ``'abc/a'`` sorts after
3315
``'abc-2'``, but ``('abc', 'a')`` sorts before ``('abc-2',)``.
3316
(John Arbash Meinel, #111227)
3317
3318
* Handle when someone renames a file on disk without telling bzr.
3319
Previously we would report the first file as missing, but not show
3320
the new unknown file. (John Arbash Meinel, #111288)
3321
3322
* Avoid error when running hooks after pulling into or pushing from
3323
a branch bound to a smartserver branch. (Martin Pool, #111968)
3324
3325
IMPROVEMENTS:
3326
3327
* Move developer documentation to doc/developers/. This reduces clutter in
3328
the root of the source tree and allows HACKING to be split into multiple
3329
files. (Robert Collins, Alexander Belchenko)
3330
3331
* Clean up the ``WorkingTree4._iter_changes()`` internal loops as well as
3332
``DirState.update_entry()``. This optimizes the core logic for ``bzr
3333
diff`` and ``bzr status`` significantly improving the speed of
3334
both. (John Arbash Meinel)
3335
3336
bzr 0.16rc2 2007-04-30
3337
-----------------------
3338
3339
BUGFIXES:
3340
3341
* Handle the case when you delete a file, and then rename another file
3342
on top of it. Also handle the case of ``bzr rm --keep foo``. ``bzr
3343
status`` should show the removed file and an unknown file in its
3344
place. (John Arbash Meinel, #109993)
3345
3346
* Bundles properly read and write revision properties that have an
3347
empty value. And when the value is not ASCII.
3348
(John Arbash Meinel, #109613)
3349
3350
* Fix the bzr commit message to be in text mode.
3351
(Alexander Belchenko, #110901)
3352
3353
* Also handle when you rename a file and create a file where it used
3354
to be. (John Arbash Meinel, #110256)
3355
3356
* ``WorkingTree4._iter_changes`` should not descend into unversioned
3357
directories. (John Arbash Meinel, #110399)
3358
3359
bzr 0.16rc1 2007-04-26
3360
-----------------------
3361
3362
NOTES WHEN UPGRADING:
3363
3364
* ``bzr remove`` and ``bzr rm`` will now remove the working file, if
3365
it could be recovered again.
3366
This has been done for consistency with svn and the unix rm command.
3367
The old ``remove`` behaviour has been retained in the new option
3368
``bzr remove --keep``, which will just stop versioning the file,
3369
but not delete it.
3370
``bzr remove --force`` have been added which will always delete the
3371
files.
3372
``bzr remove`` is also more verbose.
3373
(Marius Kruger, #82602)
3374
3375
IMPROVEMENTS:
3376
3377
* Merge directives can now be supplied as input to `merge` and `pull`,
3378
like bundles can. (Aaron Bentley)
3379
3380
* Sending the SIGQUIT signal to bzr, which can be done on Unix by
3381
pressing Control-Backslash, drops bzr into a debugger. Type ``'c'``
3382
to continue. This can be disabled by setting the environment variable
3383
``BZR_SIGQUIT_PDB=0``. (Martin Pool)
3384
3385
* selftest now supports --list-only to list tests instead of running
3386
them. (Ian Clatworthy)
3387
3388
* selftest now supports --exclude PATTERN (or -x PATTERN) to exclude
3389
tests with names that match that regular expression.
3390
(Ian Clatworthy, #102679)
3391
3392
* selftest now supports --randomize SEED to run tests in a random order.
3393
SEED is typically the value 'now' meaning 'use the current time'.
3394
(Ian Clatworthy, #102686)
3395
3396
* New option ``--fixes`` to commit, which stores bug fixing annotations as
3397
revision properties. Built-in support for Launchpad, Debian, Trac and
3398
Bugzilla bug trackers. (Jonathan Lange, James Henstridge, Robert Collins)
3399
3400
* New API, ``bzrlib.bugtracker.tracker_registry``, for adding support for
3401
other bug trackers to ``fixes``. (Jonathan Lange, James Henstridge,
3402
Robert Collins)
3403
3404
* ``selftest`` has new short options ``-f`` and ``-1``. (Martin
3405
Pool)
3406
3407
* ``bzrlib.tsort.MergeSorter`` optimizations. Change the inner loop
3408
into using local variables instead of going through ``self._var``.
3409
Improves the time to ``merge_sort`` a 10k revision graph by
3410
approximately 40% (~700->400ms). (John Arbash Meinel)
3411
3412
* ``make docs`` now creates a man page at ``man1/bzr.1`` fixing bug 107388.
3413
(Robert Collins)
3414
3415
* ``bzr help`` now provides cross references to other help topics using
3416
the _see_also facility on command classes. Likewise the bzr_man
3417
documentation, and the bzr.1 man page also include this information.
3418
(Robert Collins)
3419
3420
* Tags are now included in logs, that use the long log formatter.
3421
(Erik Bågfors, Alexander Belchenko)
3422
3423
* ``bzr help`` provides a clearer message when a help topic cannot be
3424
found. (Robert Collins, #107656)
3425
3426
* ``bzr help`` now accepts optional prefixes for command help. The help
3427
for all commands can now be found at ``bzr help commands/COMMANDNAME``
3428
as well as ``bzr help COMMANDNAME`` (which only works for commands
3429
where the name is not the same as a more general help topic).
3430
(Robert Collins)
3431
3432
* ``bzr help PLUGINNAME`` will now return the module docstring from the
3433
plugin PLUGINNAME. (Robert Collins, #50408)
3434
3435
* New help topic ``urlspec`` which lists the availables transports.
3436
(Goffredo Baroncelli)
3437
3438
* doc/server.txt updated to document the default bzr:// port
3439
and also update the blurb about the hpss' current status.
3440
(Robert Collins, #107125).
3441
3442
* ``bzr serve`` now listens on interface 0.0.0.0 by default, making it
3443
serve out to the local LAN (and anyone in the world that can reach the
3444
machine running ``bzr serve``. (Robert Collins, #98918)
3445
3446
* A new smart server protocol version has been added. It prefixes requests
3447
and responses with an explicit version identifier so that future protocol
3448
revisions can be dealt with gracefully. (Andrew Bennetts, Robert Collins)
3449
3450
* The bzr protocol version 2 indicates success or failure in every response
3451
without depending on particular commands encoding that consistently,
3452
allowing future client refactorings to be much more robust about error
3453
handling. (Robert Collins, Martin Pool, Andrew Bennetts)
3454
3455
* The smart protocol over HTTP client has been changed to always post to the
3456
same ``.bzr/smart`` URL under the original location when it can. This allows
3457
HTTP servers to only have to pass URLs ending in .bzr/smart to the smart
3458
server handler, and not arbitrary ``.bzr/*/smart`` URLs. (Andrew Bennetts)
3459
3460
* digest authentication is now supported for proxies and HTTP by the urllib
3461
based http implementation. Tested against Apache 2.0.55 and Squid
3462
2.6.5. Basic and digest authentication are handled coherently for HTTP
3463
and proxy: if the user is provided in the url (bzr command line for HTTP,
3464
proxy environment variables for proxies), the password is prompted for
3465
(only once). If the password is provided, it is taken into account. Once
3466
the first authentication is successful, all further authentication
3467
roundtrips are avoided by preventively setting the right authentication
3468
header(s).
3469
(Vincent Ladeuil).
3470
3471
INTERNALS:
3472
3473
* bzrlib API compatability with 0.8 has been dropped, cleaning up some
3474
code paths. (Robert Collins)
3475
3476
* Change the format of chroot urls so that they can be safely manipulated
3477
by generic url utilities without causing the resulting urls to have
3478
escaped the chroot. A side effect of this is that creating a chroot
3479
requires an explicit action using a ChrootServer.
3480
(Robert Collins, Andrew Bennetts)
3481
3482
* Deprecate ``Branch.get_root_id()`` because branches don't have root ids,
3483
rather than fixing bug #96847. (Aaron Bentley)
3484
3485
* ``WorkingTree.apply_inventory_delta`` provides a better alternative to
3486
``WorkingTree._write_inventory``. (Aaron Bentley)
3487
3488
* Convenience method ``TestCase.expectFailure`` ensures that known failures
3489
do not silently pass. (Aaron Bentley)
3490
3491
* ``Transport.local_abspath`` now raises ``NotLocalUrl`` rather than
3492
``TransportNotPossible``. (Martin Pool, Ian Clatworthy)
3493
3494
* New SmartServer hooks facility. There are two initial hooks documented
3495
in ``bzrlib.transport.smart.SmartServerHooks``. The two initial hooks allow
3496
plugins to execute code upon server startup and shutdown.
3497
(Robert Collins).
3498
3499
* SmartServer in standalone mode will now close its listening socket
3500
when it stops, rather than waiting for garbage collection. This primarily
3501
fixes test suite hangs when a test tries to connect to a shutdown server.
3502
It may also help improve behaviour when dealing with a server running
3503
on a specific port (rather than dynamically assigned ports).
3504
(Robert Collins)
3505
3506
* Move most SmartServer code into a new package, bzrlib/smart.
3507
bzrlib/transport/remote.py contains just the Transport classes that used
3508
to be in bzrlib/transport/smart.py. (Andrew Bennetts)
3509
3510
* urllib http implementation avoid roundtrips associated with
3511
401 (and 407) errors once the authentication succeeds.
3512
(Vincent Ladeuil).
3513
3514
* urlib http now supports querying the user for a proxy password if
3515
needed. Realm is shown in the prompt for both HTTP and proxy
3516
authentication when the user is required to type a password.
3517
(Vincent Ladeuil).
3518
3519
* Renamed SmartTransport (and subclasses like SmartTCPTransport) to
3520
RemoteTransport (and subclasses to RemoteTCPTransport, etc). This is more
3521
consistent with its new home in ``bzrlib/transport/remote.py``, and because
3522
it's not really a "smart" transport, just one that does file operations
3523
via remote procedure calls. (Andrew Bennetts)
3524
3525
* The ``lock_write`` method of ``LockableFiles``, ``Repository`` and
3526
``Branch`` now accept a ``token`` keyword argument, so that separate
3527
instances of those objects can share a lock if it has the right token.
3528
(Andrew Bennetts, Robert Collins)
3529
3530
* New method ``get_branch_reference`` on ``BzrDir`` allows the detection of
3531
branch references - which the smart server component needs.
3532
3533
* The Repository API ``make_working_trees`` is now permitted to return
3534
False when ``set_make_working_trees`` is not implemented - previously
3535
an unimplemented ``set_make_working_trees`` implied the result True
3536
from ``make_working_trees``. This has been changed to accomodate the
3537
smart server, where it does not make sense (at this point) to ever
3538
make working trees by default. (Robert Collins)
3539
3540
* Command objects can now declare related help topics by having _see_also
3541
set to a list of related topic. (Robert Collins)
3542
3543
* ``bzrlib.help`` now delegates to the Command class for Command specific
3544
help. (Robert Collins)
3545
3546
* New class ``TransportListRegistry``, derived from the Registry class, which
3547
simplifies tracking the available Transports. (Goffredo Baroncelli)
3548
3549
* New function ``Branch.get_revision_id_to_revno_map`` which will
3550
return a dictionary mapping revision ids to dotted revnos. Since
3551
dotted revnos are defined in the context of the branch tip, it makes
3552
sense to generate them from a ``Branch`` object.
3553
(John Arbash Meinel)
3554
3555
* Fix the 'Unprintable error' message display to use the repr of the
3556
exception that prevented printing the error because the str value
3557
for it is often not useful in debugging (e.g. KeyError('foo') has a
3558
str() of 'foo' but a repr of 'KeyError('foo')' which is much more
3559
useful. (Robert Collins)
3560
3561
* ``urlutils.normalize_url`` now unescapes unreserved characters, such as "~".
3562
(Andrew Bennetts)
3563
3564
BUGFIXES:
3565
3566
* Don't fail bundle selftest if email has 'two' embedded.
3567
(Ian Clatworthy, #98510)
3568
3569
* Remove ``--verbose`` from ``bzr bundle``. It didn't work anyway.
3570
(Robert Widhopf-Fenk, #98591)
3571
3572
* Remove ``--basis`` from the checkout/branch commands - it didn't work
3573
properly and is no longer beneficial.
3574
(Robert Collins, #53675, #43486)
3575
3576
* Don't produce encoding error when adding duplicate files.
3577
(Aaron Bentley)
3578
3579
* Fix ``bzr log <file>`` so it only logs the revisions that changed
3580
the file, and does it faster.
3581
(Kent Gibson, John Arbash Meinel, #51980, #69477)
3582
3583
* Fix ``InterDirstateTre._iter_changes`` to handle when we come across
3584
an empty versioned directory, which now has files in it.
3585
(John Arbash Meinel, #104257)
3586
3587
* Teach ``common_ancestor`` to shortcut when the tip of one branch is
3588
inside the ancestry of the other. Saves a lot of graph processing
3589
(with an ancestry of 16k revisions, ``bzr merge ../already-merged``
3590
changes from 2m10s to 13s). (John Arbash Meinel, #103757)
3591
3592
* Fix ``show_diff_trees`` to handle the case when a file is modified,
3593
and the containing directory is renamed. (The file path is different
3594
in this versus base, but it isn't marked as a rename).
3595
(John Arbash Meinel, #103870)
3596
3597
* FTP now works even when the FTP server does not support atomic rename.
3598
(Aaron Bentley, #89436)
3599
3600
* Correct handling in bundles and merge directives of timezones with
3601
that are not an integer number of hours offset from UTC. Always
3602
represent the epoch time in UTC to avoid problems with formatting
3603
earlier times on win32. (Martin Pool, Alexander Belchenko, John
3604
Arbash Meinel)
3605
3606
* Typo in the help for ``register-branch`` fixed. (Robert Collins, #96770)
3607
3608
* "dirstate" and "dirstate-tags" formats now produce branches compatible
3609
with old versions of bzr. (Aaron Bentley, #107168))
3610
3611
* Handle moving a directory when children have been added, removed,
3612
and renamed. (John Arbash Meinel, #105479)
3613
3614
* Don't preventively use basic authentication for proxy before receiving a
3615
407 error. Otherwise people willing to use other authentication schemes
3616
may expose their password in the clear (or nearly). This add one
3617
roundtrip in case basic authentication should be used, but plug the
3618
security hole.
3619
(Vincent Ladeuil)
3620
3621
* Handle http and proxy digest authentication.
3622
(Vincent Ladeuil, #94034).
3623
3624
TESTING:
3625
3626
* Added ``bzrlib.strace.strace`` which will strace a single callable and
3627
return a StraceResult object which contains just the syscalls involved
3628
in running it. (Robert Collins)
3629
3630
* New test method ``reduceLockdirTimeout`` to drop the default (ui-centric)
3631
default time down to one suitable for tests. (Andrew Bennetts)
3632
3633
* Add new ``vfs_transport_factory`` attribute on tests which provides the
3634
common vfs backing for both the readonly and readwrite transports.
3635
This allows the RemoteObject tests to back onto local disk or memory,
3636
and use the existing ``transport_server`` attribute all tests know about
3637
to be the smart server transport. This in turn allows tests to
3638
differentiate between 'transport to access the branch', and
3639
'transport which is a VFS' - which matters in Remote* tests.
3640
(Robert Collins, Andrew Bennetts)
3641
3642
* The ``make_branch_and_tree`` method for tests will now create a
3643
lightweight checkout for the tree if the ``vfs_transport_factory`` is not
3644
a LocalURLServer. (Robert Collins, Andrew Bennetts)
3645
3646
* Branch implementation tests have been audited to ensure that all urls
3647
passed to Branch APIs use proper urls, except when local-disk paths
3648
are intended. This is so that tests correctly access the test transport
3649
which is often not equivalent to local disk in Remote* tests. As part
3650
of this many tests were adjusted to remove dependencies on local disk
3651
access.
3652
(Robert Collins, Andrew Bennetts)
3653
3654
* Mark bzrlib.tests and bzrlib.tests.TestUtil as providing assertFOO helper
3655
functions by adding a ``__unittest`` global attribute. (Robert Collins,
3656
Andrew Bennetts, Martin Pool, Jonathan Lange)
3657
3658
* Refactored proxy and authentication handling to simplify the
3659
implementation of new auth schemes for both http and proxy.

3681
(Martin Pool)
3682
3683
IMPROVEMENTS:
3684
3685
* HTTP redirections are now taken into account when a branch (or a
3686
bundle) is accessed for the first time. A message is issued at each
3687
redirection to inform the user. In the past, http redirections were
3688
silently followed for each request which significantly degraded the
3689
performances. The http redirections are not followed anymore by
3690
default, instead a RedirectRequested exception is raised. For bzrlib
3691
users needing to follow http redirections anyway,
3692
``bzrlib.transport.do_catching_redirections`` provide an easy transition
3693
path. (vila)
3694
3695
INTERNALS:
3696
3697
* Added ``ReadLock.temporary_write_lock()`` to allow upgrading an OS read
3698
lock to an OS write lock. Linux can do this without unlocking, Win32
3699
needs to unlock in between. (John Arbash Meinel)
3700
3701
* New parameter ``recommend_upgrade`` to ``BzrDir.open_workingtree``
3702
to silence (when false) warnings about opening old formats.
3703
(Martin Pool)
3704
3705
* Fix minor performance regression with bzr-0.15 on pre-dirstate
3706
trees. (We were reading the working inventory too many times).
3707
(John Arbash Meinel)
3708
3709
* Remove ``Branch.get_transaction()`` in favour of a simple cache of
3710
``revision_history``. Branch subclasses should override
3711
``_gen_revision_history`` rather than ``revision_history`` to make use of
3712
this cache, and call ``_clear_revision_history_cache`` and
3713
``_cache_revision_history`` at appropriate times. (Andrew Bennetts)
3714
3715
BUGFIXES:
3716
3717
* Take ``smtp_server`` from user config into account.
3718
(vila, #92195)
3719
3720
* Restore Unicode filename handling for versioned and unversioned files.
3721
(John Arbash Meinel, #92608)
3722
3723
* Don't fail during ``bzr commit`` if a file is marked removed, and
3724
the containing directory is auto-removed. (John Arbash Meinel, #93681)
3725
3726
* ``bzr status FILENAME`` failed on Windows because of an uncommon
3727
errno. (``ERROR_DIRECTORY == 267 != ENOTDIR``).
3728
(Wouter van Heyst, John Arbash Meinel, #90819)
3729
3730
* ``bzr checkout source`` should create a local branch in the same
3731
format as source. (John Arbash Meinel, #93854)
3732
3733
* ``bzr commit`` with a kind change was failing to update the
3734
last-changed-revision for directories. The
3735
InventoryDirectory._unchanged only looked at the ``parent_id`` and name,
3736
ignoring the fact that the kind could have changed, too.
3737
(John Arbash Meinel, #90111)
3738
3739
* ``bzr mv dir/subdir other`` was incorrectly updating files inside
3740
the directory. So that there was a chance it would break commit,
3741
etc. (John Arbash Meinel, #94037)
3742
3743
* Correctly handles mutiple permanent http redirections.

bzr 0.15rc2 2007-03-14
3747
-----------------------
3748
3749
NOTES WHEN UPGRADING:
3750
3751
* Release 0.15rc2 of bzr changes the ``bzr init-repo`` command to
3752
default to ``--trees`` instead of ``--no-trees``.
3753
Existing shared repositories are not affected.
3754
3755
IMPROVEMENTS:
3756
3757
* New ``merge-directive`` command to generate machine- and human-readable
3758
merge requests. (Aaron Bentley)
3759
3760
* New ``submit:`` revision specifier makes it easy to diff against the
3761
common ancestor with the submit location (Aaron Bentley)
3762
3763
* Added support for Putty's SSH implementation. (Dmitry Vasiliev)
3764
3765
* Added ``bzr status --versioned`` to report only versioned files,
3766
not unknowns. (Kent Gibson)
3767
3768
* Merge now autodetects the correct line-ending style for its conflict
3769
markers. (Aaron Bentley)
3770
3771
INTERNALS:
3772
3773
* Refactored SSH vendor registration into SSHVendorManager class.
3774
(Dmitry Vasiliev)
3775
3776
BUGFIXES:
3777
3778
* New ``--numbered-dirs`` option to ``bzr selftest`` to use
3779
numbered dirs for TestCaseInTempDir. This is default behavior
3780
on Windows. Anyone can force named dirs on Windows
3781
with ``--no-numbered-dirs``. (Alexander Belchenko)
3782
3783
* Fix ``RevisionSpec_revid`` to handle the Unicode strings passed in
3784
from the command line. (Marien Zwart, #90501)
3785
3786
* Fix ``TreeTransform._iter_changes`` when both the source and
3787
destination are missing. (Aaron Bentley, #88842)
3788
3789
* Fix commit of merges with symlinks in dirstate trees.
3790
(Marien Zwart)
3791
3792
* Switch the ``bzr init-repo`` default from --no-trees to --trees.

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

3970
(Aaron Bentley, Martin Pool, Robert Collins).
3971
3972
BUGFIXES:
3973
3974
* ``bzr annotate`` now uses dotted revnos from the viewpoint of the
3975
branch, rather than the last changed revision of the file.
3976
(John Arbash Meinel, #82158)
3977
3978
* Lock operations no longer hang if they encounter a permission problem.
3979
(Aaron Bentley)
3980
3981
* ``bzr push`` can resume a push that was canceled before it finished.
3982
Also, it can push even if the target directory exists if you supply
3983
the ``--use-existing-dir`` flag.
3984
(John Arbash Meinel, #30576, #45504)
3985
3986
* Fix http proxy authentication when user and an optional
3987
password appears in the ``*_proxy`` vars. (Vincent Ladeuil,
3988
#83954).
3989
3990
* ``bzr log branch/file`` works for local treeless branches
3991
(Aaron Bentley, #84247)
3992
3993
* Fix problem with UNC paths on Windows 98. (Alexander Belchenko, #84728)
3994
3995
* Searching location of CA bundle for PyCurl in env variable
3996
(``CURL_CA_BUNDLE``), and on win32 along the PATH.
3997
(Alexander Belchenko, #82086)
3998
3999
* ``bzr init`` works with unicode argument LOCATION.
4000
(Alexander Belchenko, #85599)
4001
4002
* Raise ``DependencyNotPresent`` if pycurl do not support https.
4003
(Vincent Ladeuil, #85305)
4004
4005
* Invalid proxy env variables should not cause a traceback.
4006
(Vincent Ladeuil, #87765)
4007
4008
* Ignore patterns normalised to use '/' path separator.
4009
(Kent Gibson, #86451)
4010
4011
* bzr rocks. It sure does! Fix case. (Vincent Ladeuil, #78026)
4012
4013
* Fix bzrtools shelve command for removed lines beginning with "--"
4014
(Johan Dahlberg, #75577)
4015
4016
TESTING:
4017
4018
* New ``--first`` option to ``bzr selftest`` to run specified tests
4019
before the rest of the suite. (Martin Pool)

--------------------
4024
4025
IMPROVEMENTS:
4026
4027
* ``bzr help global-options`` describes the global options. (Aaron Bentley)
4028
4029
BUG FIXES:
4030
4031
* Skip documentation generation tests if the tools to do so are not
4032
available. Fixes running selftest for installled copies of bzr.
4033
(John Arbash Meinel, #80330)
4034
4035
* Fix the code that discovers whether bzr is being run from it's
4036
working tree to handle the case when it isn't but the directory
4037
it is in is below a repository. (James Westby, #77306)

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

line-endings (Alexander Belchenko, #55276)
4143
4144
* Replace broken fnmatch based ignore pattern matching with custom pattern
4145
matcher.
4146
(Kent Gibson, Jan Hudec #57637)
4147
4148
* pycurl and urllib can detect short reads at different places. Update
4149
the test suite to test more cases. Also detect http error code 416
4150
which was raised for that specific bug. Also enhance the urllib
4151
robustness by detecting invalid ranges (and pycurl's one by detecting
4152
short reads during the initial GET). (Vincent Ladeuil, #73948)
4153
4154
* The urllib connection sharing interacts badly with urllib2
4155
proxy setting (the connections didn't go thru the proxy
4156
anymore). Defining a proper ProxyHandler solves the
4157
problem. (Vincent Ladeuil, #74759)
4158
4159
* Use urlutils to generate relative URLs, not osutils
4160
(Aaron Bentley, #76229)
4161
4162
* ``bzr status`` in a readonly directory should work without giving
4163
lots of errors. (John Arbash Meinel, #76299)
4164
4165
* Mention the revisionspec topic for the revision option help.
4166
(Wouter van Heyst, #31663)

IMPROVEMENTS:
4181
4182
* New command ``bzr remove-tree`` allows the removal of the working
4183
tree from a branch.
4184
(Daniel Silverstone)
4185
4186
* urllib uses shared keep-alive connections, so http
4187
operations are substantially faster.
4188
(Vincent Ladeuil, #53654)
4189
4190
* ``bzr export`` allows an optional branch parameter, to export a bzr
4191
tree from some other url. For example:
4192
``bzr export bzr.tar.gz http://bazaar-vcs.org/bzr/bzr.dev``
4193
(Daniel Silverstone)
4194
4195
* Added ``bzr help topics`` to the bzr help system. This gives a
4196
location for general information, outside of a specific command.
4197
This includes updates for ``bzr help revisionspec`` the first topic
4198
included. (Goffredo Baroncelli, John Arbash Meinel, #42714)
4199
4200
* WSGI-compatible HTTP smart server. See ``doc/http_smart_server.txt``.
4201
(Andrew Bennetts)
4202
4203
* Knit files will now cache full texts only when the size of the
4204
deltas is as large as the size of the fulltext. (Or after 200
4205
deltas, whichever comes first). This has the most benefit on large
4206
files with small changes, such as the inventory for a large project.
4207
(eg For a project with 2500 files, and 7500 revisions, it changes
4208
the size of inventory.knit from 11MB to 5.4MB) (John Arbash Meinel)
4209
4210
INTERNALS:
4211
4212
* New -D option given before the command line turns on debugging output
4213
for particular areas. -Derror shows tracebacks on all errors.
4214
(Martin Pool)
4215
4216
* Clean up ``bzr selftest --benchmark bundle`` to correct an import,
4217
and remove benchmarks that take longer than 10min to run.
4218
(John Arbash Meinel)
4219
4220
* Use ``time.time()`` instead of ``time.clock()`` to decide on
4221
progress throttling. Because ``time.clock()`` is actually CPU time,
4222
so over a high-latency connection, too many updates get throttled.
4223
(John Arbash Meinel)
4224
4225
* ``MemoryTransport.list_dir()`` would strip the first character for
4226
files or directories in root directory. (John Arbash Meinel)
4227
4228
* New method ``get_branch_reference`` on 'BzrDir' allows the detection of
4229
branch references - which the smart server component needs.
4230
4231
* New ``ChrootTransportDecorator``, accessible via the ``chroot+`` url
4232
prefix. It disallows any access to locations above a set URL. (Andrew
4233
Bennetts)
4234
4235
BUG FIXES:
4236
4237
* Now ``_KnitIndex`` properly decode revision ids when loading index data.
4238
And optimize the knit index parsing code.
4239
(Dmitry Vasiliev, John Arbash Meinel)
4240
4241
* ``bzrlib/bzrdir.py`` was directly referencing ``bzrlib.workingtree``,
4242
without importing it. This prevented ``bzr upgrade`` from working
4243
unless a plugin already imported ``bzrlib.workingtree``
4244
(John Arbash Meinel, #70716)
4245
4246
* Suppress the traceback on invalid URLs (Vincent Ladeuil, #70803).
4247
4248
* Give nicer error message when an http server returns a 403
4249
error code. (Vincent Ladeuil, #57644).
4250
4251
* When a multi-range http GET request fails, try a single
4252
range one. If it fails too, forget about ranges. Remember that until
4253
the death of the transport and propagates that to the clones.
4254
(Vincent Ladeuil, #62276, #62029).
4255
4256
* Handles user/passwords supplied in url from command
4257
line (for the urllib implementation). Don't request already
4258
known passwords (Vincent Ladeuil, #42383, #44647, #48527)
4259
4260
* ``_KnitIndex.add_versions()`` dictionary compresses revision ids as they
4261
are added. This fixes bug where fetching remote revisions records
4262
them as full references rather than integers.
4263
(John Arbash Meinel, #64789)
4264
4265
* ``bzr ignore`` strips trailing slashes in patterns.
4266
Also ``bzr ignore`` rejects absolute paths. (Kent Gibson, #4559)
4267
4268
* ``bzr ignore`` takes multiple arguments. (Cheuksan Edward Wang, #29488)
4269
4270
* mv correctly handles paths that traverse symlinks.
4271
(Aaron Bentley, #66964)
4272
4273
* Give nicer looking error messages when failing to connect over ssh.
4274
(John Arbash Meinel, #49172)
4275
4276
* Pushing to a remote branch does not currently update the remote working
4277
tree. After a remote push, ``bzr status`` and ``bzr diff`` on the remote
4278
machine now show that the working tree is out of date.
4279
(Cheuksan Edward Wang #48136)
4280
4281
* Use patiencediff instead of difflib for determining deltas to insert
4282
into knits. This avoids the O(N^3) behavior of difflib. Patience
4283
diff should be O(N^2). (Cheuksan Edward Wang, #65714)
4284
4285
* Running ``bzr log`` on nonexistent file gives an error instead of the
4286
entire log history. (Cheuksan Edward Wang #50793)
4287
4288
* ``bzr cat`` can look up contents of removed or renamed files. If the
4289
pathname is ambiguous, i.e. the files in the old and new trees have
4290
different id's, the default is the file in the new tree. The user can
4291
use "--name-from-revision" to select the file in the old tree.
4292
(Cheuksan Edward Wang, #30190)
4293
4294
TESTING:
4295
4296
* TestingHTTPRequestHandler really handles the Range header
4297
(previously it was ignoring it and returning the whole file,).
4298

4300
--------------------
4301
4302
INTERNALS:
4303
4304
* Clean up ``bzr selftest --benchmark bundle`` to correct an import,
4305
and remove benchmarks that take longer than 10min to run.
4306
(John Arbash Meinel)
4307
4308
bzr 0.12rc1 2006-10-23
4309
-----------------------
4310
4311
IMPROVEMENTS:
4312
4313
* ``bzr log`` now shows dotted-decimal revision numbers for all revisions,
4314
rather than just showing a decimal revision number for revisions on the
4315
mainline. These revision numbers are not yet accepted as input into bzr
4316
commands such as log, diff etc. (Robert Collins)
4317
4318
* revisions can now be specified using dotted-decimal revision numbers.
4319
For instance, ``bzr diff -r 1.2.1..1.2.3``. (Robert Collins)
4320
4321
* ``bzr help commands`` output is now shorter (Aaron Bentley)
4322
4323
* ``bzr`` now uses lazy importing to reduce the startup time. This has
4324
a moderate effect on lots of actions, especially ones that have
4325
little to do. For example ``bzr rocks`` time is down to 116ms from
4326
283ms. (John Arbash Meinel)
4327
4328
* New Registry class to provide name-to-object registry-like support,
4329
for example for schemes where plugins can register new classes to
4330
do certain tasks (e.g. log formatters). Also provides lazy registration
4331
to allow modules to be loaded on request.
4332
(John Arbash Meinel, Adeodato Simó)
4333
4334
API INCOMPATABILITY:
4335
4336
* LogFormatter subclasses show now expect the 'revno' parameter to
4337
show() to be a string rather than an int. (Robert Collins)
4338
4339
INTERNALS:
4340
4341
* ``TestCase.run_bzr``, ``run_bzr_captured``, and ``run_bzr_subprocess``
4342
can take a ``working_dir='foo'`` parameter, which will change directory
4343
for the command. (John Arbash Meinel)
4344
4345
* ``bzrlib.lazy_regex.lazy_compile`` can be used to create a proxy
4346
around a regex, which defers compilation until first use.
4347
(John Arbash Meinel)
4348
4349
* ``TestCase.run_bzr_subprocess`` defaults to supplying the
4350
``--no-plugins`` parameter to ensure test reproducability, and avoid
4351
problems with system-wide installed plugins. (John Arbash Meinel)
4352
4353
* Unique tree root ids are now supported. Newly created trees still
4354
use the common root id for compatibility with bzr versions before 0.12.
4355
(Aaron Bentley)
4356
4357
* ``WorkingTree.set_root_id(None)`` is now deprecated. Please
4358
pass in ``inventory.ROOT_ID`` if you want the default root id value.
4359
(Robert Collins, John Arbash Meinel)
4360
4361
* New method ``WorkingTree.flush()`` which will write the current memory
4362
inventory out to disk. At the same time, ``read_working_inventory`` will
4363
no longer trash the current tree inventory if it has been modified within
4364
the current lock, and the tree will now ``flush()`` automatically on
4365
``unlock()``. ``WorkingTree.set_root_id()`` has been updated to take
4366
advantage of this functionality. (Robert Collins, John Arbash Meinel)
4367
4368
* ``bzrlib.tsort.merge_sorted`` now accepts ``generate_revnos``. This
4369
parameter will cause it to add another column to its output, which
4370
contains the dotted-decimal revno for each revision, as a tuple.
4371
(Robert Collins)
4372
4373
* ``LogFormatter.show_merge`` is deprecated in favour of
4374
``LogFormatter.show_merge_revno``. (Robert Collins)
4375
4376
BUG FIXES:
4377
4378
* Avoid circular imports by creating a deprecated function for
4379
``bzrlib.tree.RevisionTree``. Callers should have been using
4380
``bzrlib.revisontree.RevisionTree`` anyway. (John Arbash Meinel,
4381
#63360, #66349)
4382
4383
* Don't use ``socket.MSG_WAITALL`` as it doesn't exist on all
4384
platforms. (Martin Pool, #66356)
4385
4386
* Don't require ``Content-Type`` in range responses. Assume they are a
4387
single range if ``Content-Type`` does not exist.
4388
(John Arbash Meinel, #62473)
4389
4390
* bzr branch/pull no longer complain about progress bar cleanup when
4391
interrupted during fetch. (Aaron Bentley, #54000)
4392
4393
* ``WorkingTree.set_parent_trees()`` uses the trees to directly write
4394
the basis inventory, rather than going through the repository. This
4395
allows us to have 1 inventory read, and 2 inventory writes when
4396
committing a new tree. (John Arbash Meinel)
4397
4398
* When reverting, files that are not locally modified that do not exist
4399
in the target are deleted, not just unversioned (Aaron Bentley)
4400
4401
* When trying to acquire a lock, don't fail immediately. Instead, try
4402
a few times (up to 1 hour) before timing out. Also, report why the
4403
lock is unavailable (John Arbash Meinel, #43521, #49556)
4404
4405
* Leave HttpTransportBase daughter classes decides how they
4406
implement cloning. (Vincent Ladeuil, #61606)
4407
4408
* diff3 does not indicate conflicts on clean merge. (Aaron Bentley)
4409
4410
* If a commit fails, the commit message is stored in a file at the root of
4411
the tree for later commit. (Cheuksan Edward Wang, Stefan Metzmacher,
4412
#32054)
4413
4414
TESTING:
4415
4416
* New test base class TestCaseWithMemoryTransport offers memory-only
4417
testing facilities: its not suitable for tests that need to mutate disk
4418
state, but most tests should not need that and should be converted to
4419
TestCaseWithMemoryTransport. (Robert Collins)
4420
4421
* ``TestCase.make_branch_and_memory_tree`` now takes a format
4422
option to set the BzrDir, Repository and Branch formats of the
4423
created objects. (Robert Collins, John Arbash Meinel)
4424
4425
bzr 0.11 2006-10-02

4432
4433
BUG FIXES:
4434
4435
* Test suite hangs on windows fixed. (Andrew Bennets, Alexander Belchenko).
4436
4437
* Commit performance regression fixed. (Aaron Bentley, Robert Collins, John
4438
Arbash Meinel).
4439
4440
bzr 0.11rc1 2006-09-25
4441
-----------------------
4442
4443
IMPROVEMENTS:
4444
4445
* Knit files now wait to create their contents until the first data is
4446
added. The old code used to create an empty .knit and a .kndx with just
4447
the header. However, this caused a lot of extra round trips over sftp.
4448
This can change the time for ``bzr push`` to create a new remote branch
4449
from 160s down to 100s. This also affects ``bzr commit`` performance when
4450
adding new files, ``bzr commit`` on a new kernel-like tree drops from 50s
4451
down to 40s (John Arbash Meinel, #44692)
4452
4453
* When an entire subtree has been deleted, commit will now report that
4454
just the top of the subtree has been deleted, rather than reporting
4455
all the individual items. (Robert Collins)
4456
4457
* Commit performs one less XML parse. (Robert Collins)
4458
4459
* ``bzr checkout`` now operates on readonly branches as well
4460
as readwrite branches. This fixes bug #39542. (Robert Collins)
4461
4462
* ``bzr bind`` no longer synchronises history with the master branch.
4463
Binding should be followed by an update or push to synchronise the
4464
two branches. This is closely related to the fix for bug #39542.
4465
(Robert Collins)
4466
4467
* ``bzrlib.lazy_import.lazy_import`` function to create on-demand
4468
objects. This allows all imports to stay at the global scope, but
4469
modules will not actually be imported if they are not used.
4470
(John Arbash Meinel)
4471
4472
* Support ``bzr://`` and ``bzr+ssh://`` urls to work with the new RPC-based
4473
transport which will be used with the upcoming high-performance smart
4474
server. The new command ``bzr serve`` will invoke bzr in server mode,
4475
which processes these requests. (Andrew Bennetts, Robert Collins, Martin
4476
Pool)
4477
4478
* New command ``bzr version-info`` which can be used to get a summary
4479
of the current state of the tree. This is especially useful as part
4480
of a build commands. See ``doc/version_info.txt`` for more information
4481
(John Arbash Meinel)
4482
4483
BUG FIXES:
4484
4485
* ``'bzr inventory [FILE...]'`` allows restricting the file list to a
4486
specific set of files. (John Arbash Meinel, #3631)
4487
4488
* Don't abort when annotating empty files (John Arbash Meinel, #56814)
4489
4490
* Add ``Stanza.to_unicode()`` which can be passed to another Stanza
4491
when nesting stanzas. Also, add ``read_stanza_unicode`` to handle when
4492
reading a nested Stanza. (John Arbash Meinel)
4493
4494
* Transform._set_mode() needs to stat the right file.
4495
(John Arbash Meinel, #56549)
4496
4497
* Raise WeaveFormatError rather than StopIteration when trying to read
4498
an empty Weave file. (John Arbash Meinel, #46871)
4499
4500
* Don't access e.code for generic URLErrors, only HTTPErrors have .code.
4501
(Vincent Ladeuil, #59835)
4502
4503
* Handle boundary="" lines properly to allow access through a Squid proxy.
4504
(John Arbash Meinel, #57723)
4505
4506
* revert now removes newly-added directories (Aaron Bentley, #54172)
4507
4508
* ``bzr upgrade sftp://`` shouldn't fail to upgrade v6 branches if there
4509
isn't a working tree. (David Allouche, #40679)
4510
4511
* Give nicer error messages when a user supplies an invalid --revision
4512
parameter. (John Arbash Meinel, #55420)
4513
4514
* Handle when LANG is not recognized by python. Emit a warning, but
4515
just revert to using 'ascii'. (John Arbash Meinel, #35392)
4516
4517
* Don't use ``preexec_fn`` on win32, as it is not supported by subprocess.
4518
(John Arbash Meinel)
4519
4520
* Skip specific tests when the dependencies aren't met. This includes
4521
some ``setup.py`` tests when ``python-dev`` is not available, and
4522
some tests that depend on paramiko. (John Arbash Meinel, Mattheiu Moy)
4523
4524
* Fallback to Paramiko properly, if no ``ssh`` executable exists on
4525
the system. (Andrew Bennetts, John Arbash Meinel)
4526
4527
* ``Branch.bind(other_branch)`` no longer takes a write lock on the
4528
other branch, and will not push or pull between the two branches.
4529
API users will need to perform a push or pull or update operation if they
4530
require branch synchronisation to take place. (Robert Collins, #47344)
4531
4532
* When creating a tarball or zipfile export, export unicode names as utf-8
4533
paths. This may not work perfectly on all platforms, but has the best
4534
chance of working in the common case. (John Arbash Meinel, #56816)
4535
4536
* When committing, only files that exist in working tree or basis tree
4537
may be specified (Aaron Bentley, #50793)
4538
4539
PORTABILITY:
4540
4541
* Fixes to run on Python 2.5 (Brian M. Carlson, Martin Pool, Marien Zwart)
4542
4543
INTERNALS:
4544
4545
* TestCaseInTempDir now creates a separate directory for HOME, rather
4546
than having HOME set to the same location as the working directory.
4547
(John Arbash Meinel)
4548
4549
* ``run_bzr_subprocess()`` can take an optional ``env_changes={}`` parameter,
4550
which will update os.environ inside the spawned child. It also can
4551
take a ``universal_newlines=True``, which helps when checking the output
4552
of the command. (John Arbash Meinel)
4553
4554
* Refactor SFTP vendors to allow easier re-use when ssh is used.
4555
(Andrew Bennetts)
4556
4557
* ``Transport.list_dir()`` and ``Transport.iter_files_recursive()`` should always
4558
return urlescaped paths. This is now tested (there were bugs in a few
4559
of the transports) (Andrew Bennetts, David Allouche, John Arbash Meinel)
4560
4561
* New utility function ``symbol_versioning.deprecation_string``. Returns the
4562
formatted string for a callable, deprecation format pair. (Robert Collins)
4563
4564
* New TestCase helper applyDeprecated. This allows you to call a callable
4565
which is deprecated without it spewing to the screen, just by supplying
4566
the deprecation format string issued for it. (Robert Collins)
4567
4568
* Transport.append and Transport.put have been deprecated in favor of
4569
``.append_bytes``, ``.append_file``, ``.put_bytes``, and
4570
``.put_file``. This removes the ambiguity in what type of object the
4571
functions take. ``Transport.non_atomic_put_{bytes,file}`` has also
4572
been added. Which works similarly to ``Transport.append()`` except for
4573
SFTP, it doesn't have a round trip when opening the file. Also, it
4574
provides functionality for creating a parent directory when trying
4575
to create a file, rather than raise NoSuchFile and forcing the
4576
caller to repeat their request.
4577
(John Arbash Meinel)
4578
4579
* WorkingTree has a new api ``unversion`` which allow the unversioning of
4580
entries by their file id. (Robert Collins)
4581
4582
* ``WorkingTree.pending_merges`` is deprecated. Please use the
4583
``get_parent_ids`` (introduced in 0.10) method instead. (Robert Collins)
4584
4585
* WorkingTree has a new ``lock_tree_write`` method which locks the branch for
4586
read rather than write. This is appropriate for actions which only need
4587
the branch data for reference rather than mutation. A new decorator
4588
``needs_tree_write_lock`` is provided in the workingtree module. Like the
4589
``needs_read_lock`` and ``needs_write_lock`` decorators this allows static
4590
declaration of the locking requirements of a function to ensure that
4591
a lock is taken out for casual scripts. (Robert Collins, #54107)
4592
4593
* All WorkingTree methods which write to the tree, but not to the branch
4594
have been converted to use ``needs_tree_write_lock`` rather than
4595
``needs_write_lock``. Also converted is the revert, conflicts and tree
4596
transform modules. This provides a modest performance improvement on
4597
metadir style trees, due to the reduce lock-acquisition, and a more
4598
significant performance improvement on lightweight checkouts from
4599
remote branches, where trivial operations used to pay a significant
4600
penalty. It also provides the basis for allowing readonly checkouts.
4601
(Robert Collins)
4602
4603
* Special case importing the standard library 'copy' module. This shaves
4604
off 40ms of startup time, while retaining compatibility. See:
4605
``bzrlib/inspect_for_copy.py`` for more details. (John Arbash Meinel)
4606
4607
* WorkingTree has a new parent class MutableTree which represents the
4608
specialisations of Tree which are able to be altered. (Robert Collins)
4609
4610
* New methods mkdir and ``put_file_bytes_non_atomic`` on MutableTree that
4611
mutate the tree and its contents. (Robert Collins)
4612
4613
* Transport behaviour at the root of the URL is now defined and tested.
4614
(Andrew Bennetts, Robert Collins)
4615
4616
TESTING:
4617
4618
* New test helper classs MemoryTree. This is typically accessed via
4619
``self.make_branch_and_memory_tree()`` in test cases. (Robert Collins)
4620
4621
* Add ``start_bzr_subprocess`` and ``stop_bzr_subprocess`` to allow test
4622
code to continue running concurrently with a subprocess of bzr.
4623
(Andrew Bennetts, Robert Collins)
4624
4625
* Add a new method ``Transport.get_smart_client()``. This is provided to
4626
allow upgrades to a richer interface than the VFS one provided by
4627
Transport. (Andrew Bennetts, Martin Pool)
4628
4629
bzr 0.10 2006-08-29
4630
--------------------
4631
4632
IMPROVEMENTS:
4633
* 'merge' now takes --uncommitted, to apply uncommitted changes from a
4634
tree. (Aaron Bentley)
4635
4636
* 'bzr add --file-ids-from' can be used to specify another path to use
4637
for creating file ids, rather than generating all new ones. Internally,
4638
the 'action' passed to ``smart_add_tree()`` can return ``file_ids`` that
4639
will be used, rather than having bzrlib generate new ones.
4640
(John Arbash Meinel, #55781)
4641
4642
* ``bzr selftest --benchmark`` now allows a ``--cache-dir`` parameter.
4643
This will cache some of the intermediate trees, and decrease the
4644
setup time for benchmark tests. (John Arbash Meinel)
4645
4646
* Inverse forms are provided for all boolean options. For example,
4647
--strict has --no-strict, --no-recurse has --recurse (Aaron Bentley)
4648
4649
* Serialize out Inventories directly, rather than using ElementTree.
4650
Writing out a kernel sized inventory drops from 2s down to ~350ms.
4651
(Robert Collins, John Arbash Meinel)
4652
4653
BUG FIXES:
4654
4655
* Help diffutils 2.8.4 get along with binary tests (Marien Zwart: #57614)
4656
4657
* Change LockDir so that if the lock directory doesn't exist when
4658
``lock_write()`` is called, an attempt will be made to create it.
4659
(John Arbash Meinel, #56974)
4660
4661
* ``bzr uncommit`` preserves pending merges. (John Arbash Meinel, #57660)
4662
4663
* Active FTP transport now works as intended. (ghozzy, #56472)
4664
4665
* Really fix mutter() so that it won't ever raise a UnicodeError.
4666
It means it is possible for ~/.bzr.log to contain non UTF-8 characters.
4667
But it is a debugging log, not a real user file.
4668
(John Arbash Meinel, #56947, #53880)
4669
4670
* Change Command handle to allow Unicode command and options.
4671
At present we cannot register Unicode command names, so we will get
4672
BzrCommandError('unknown command'), or BzrCommandError('unknown option')
4673
But that is better than a UnicodeError + a traceback.
4674
(John Arbash Meinel, #57123)
4675
4676
* Handle TZ=UTC properly when reading/writing revisions.
4677
(John Arbash Meinel, #55783, #56290)
4678
4679
* Use ``GPG_TTY`` to allow gpg --cl to work with gpg-agent in a pipeline,
4680
(passing text to sign in on stdin). (John Arbash Meinel, #54468)
4681
4682
* External diff does the right thing for binaries even in foreign
4683
languages. (John Arbash Meinel, #56307)
4684
4685
* Testament handles more cases when content is unicode. Specific bug was
4686
in handling of revision properties.
4687
(John Arbash Meinel, Holger Krekel, #54723)
4688
4689
* The bzr selftest was failing on installed versions due to a bug in a new
4690
test helper. (John Arbash Meinel, Robert Collins, #58057)
4691
4692
INTERNALS:
4693
4694
* ``bzrlib.cache_utf8`` contains ``encode()`` and ``decode()`` functions
4695
which can be used to cache the conversion between utf8 and Unicode.
4696
Especially helpful for some of the knit annotation code, which has to
4697
convert revision ids to utf8 to annotate lines in storage.
4698
(John Arbash Meinel)
4699
4700
* ``setup.py`` now searches the filesystem to find all packages which
4701
need to be installed. This should help make the life of packagers
4702
easier. (John Arbash Meinel)
4703
4704
bzr 0.9.0 2006-08-11
4705
---------------------
4706
4707
SURPRISES:
4708
4709
* The hard-coded built-in ignore rules have been removed. There are
4710
now two rulesets which are enforced. A user global one in
4711
``~/.bazaar/ignore`` which will apply to every tree, and the tree
4712
specific one '.bzrignore'.
4713
``~/.bazaar/ignore`` will be created if it does not exist, but with
4714
a more conservative list than the old default.
4715
This fixes bugs with default rules being enforced no matter what.
4716
The old list of ignore rules from bzr is available by
4717
running 'bzr ignore --old-default-rules'.
4718
(Robert Collins, Martin Pool, John Arbash Meinel)
4719
4720
* 'branches.conf' has been changed to 'locations.conf', since it can apply
4721
to more locations than just branch locations.
4722
(Aaron Bentley)
4723
4724
IMPROVEMENTS:
4725
4726
* The revision specifier "revno:" is extended to accept the syntax
4727
revno:N:branch. For example,
4728
revno:42:http://bazaar-vcs.org/bzr/bzr.dev/ means revision 42 in
4729
bzr.dev. (Matthieu Moy)
4730
4731
* Tests updates to ensure proper URL handling, UNICODE support, and
4732
proper printing when the user's terminal encoding cannot display
4733
the path of a file that has been versioned.
4734
``bzr branch`` can take a target URL rather than only a local directory.
4735
``Branch.get_parent()/set_parent()`` now save a relative path if possible,
4736
and normalize the parent based on root, allowing access across
4737
different transports. (John Arbash Meinel, Wouter van Heyst, Martin Pool)
4738
(Malone #48906, #42699, #40675, #5281, #3980, #36363, #43689,
4739
#42517, #42514)
4740
4741
* On Unix, detect terminal width using an ioctl not just $COLUMNS.
4742
Use terminal width for single-line logs from ``bzr log --line`` and
4743
pending-merge display. (Robert Widhopf-Fenk, Gustavo Niemeyer)
4744
(Malone #3507)
4745
4746
* On Windows, detect terminal width using GetConsoleScreenBufferInfo.
4747
(Alexander Belchenko)
4748
4749
* Speedup improvement for 'date:'-revision search. (Guillaume Pinot).
4750
4751
* Show the correct number of revisions pushed when pushing a new branch.
4752
(Robert Collins).
4753
4754
* 'bzr selftest' now shows a progress bar with the number of tests, and
4755
progress made. 'make check' shows tests in -v mode, to be more useful
4756
for the PQM status window. (Robert Collins).
4757
When using a progress bar, failed tests are printed out, rather than
4758
being overwritten by the progress bar until the suite finishes.
4759
(John Arbash Meinel)
4760
4761
* 'bzr selftest --benchmark' will run a new benchmarking selftest.
4762
'bzr selftest --benchmark --lsprof-timed' will use lsprofile to generate
4763
profile data for the individual profiled calls, allowing for fine
4764
grained analysis of performance.
4765
(Robert Collins, Martin Pool).
4766
4767
* 'bzr commit' shows a progress bar. This is useful for commits over sftp
4768
where commit can take an appreciable time. (Robert Collins)
4769
4770
* 'bzr add' is now less verbose in telling you what ignore globs were
4771
matched by files being ignored. Instead it just tells you how many
4772
were ignored (because you might reasonably be expecting none to be
4773
ignored). 'bzr add -v' is unchanged and will report every ignored
4774
file. (Robert Collins).
4775
4776
* ftp now has a test server if medusa is installed. As part of testing,
4777
ftp support has been improved, including support for supplying a
4778
non-standard port. (John Arbash Meinel).
4779
4780
* 'bzr log --line' shows the revision number, and uses only the
4781
first line of the log message (#5162, Alexander Belchenko;
4782
Matthieu Moy)
4783
4784
* 'bzr status' has had the --all option removed. The 'bzr ls' command
4785
should be used to retrieve all versioned files. (Robert Collins)
4786
4787
* 'bzr bundle OTHER/BRANCH' will create a bundle which can be sent
4788
over email, and applied on the other end, while maintaining ancestry.
4789
This bundle can be applied with either 'bzr merge' or 'bzr pull',
4790
the same way you would apply another branch.
4791
(John Arbash Meinel, Aaron Bentley)
4792
4793
* 'bzr whoami' can now be used to set your identity from the command line,
4794
for a branch or globally. (Robey Pointer)
4795
4796
* 'bzr checkout' now aliased to 'bzr co', and 'bzr annotate' to 'bzr ann'.
4797
(Michael Ellerman)
4798
4799
* 'bzr revert DIRECTORY' now reverts the contents of the directory as well.
4800
(Aaron Bentley)
4801
4802
* 'bzr get sftp://foo' gives a better error when paramiko is not present.
4803
Also updates things like 'http+pycurl://' if pycurl is not present.
4804
(John Arbash Meinel) (Malone #47821, #52204)
4805
4806
* New env variable ``BZR_PROGRESS_BAR``, sets the default progress bar type.
4807
Can be set to 'none' or 'dummy' to disable the progress bar, 'dots' or
4808
'tty' to create the respective type. (John Arbash Meinel, #42197, #51107)
4809
4810
* Improve the help text for 'bzr diff' to explain what various options do.
4811
(John Arbash Meinel, #6391)
4812
4813
* 'bzr uncommit -r 10' now uncommits revisions 11.. rather than uncommitting
4814
revision 10. This makes -r10 more in line with what other commands do.
4815
'bzr uncommit' also now saves the pending merges of the revisions that
4816
were removed. So it is safe to uncommit after a merge, fix something,
4817
and commit again. (John Arbash Meinel, #32526, #31426)
4818
4819
* 'bzr init' now also works on remote locations.
4820
(Wouter van Heyst, #48904)
4821
4822
* HTTP support has been updated. When using pycurl we now support
4823
connection keep-alive, which reduces dns requests and round trips.
4824
And for both urllib and pycurl we support multi-range requests,
4825
which decreases the number of round-trips. Performance results for
4826
``bzr branch http://bazaar-vcs.org/bzr/bzr.dev/`` indicate
4827
http branching is now 2-3x faster, and ``bzr pull`` in an existing
4828
branch is as much as 4x faster.
4829
(Michael Ellerman, Johan Rydberg, John Arbash Meinel, #46768)
4830
4831
* Performance improvements for sftp. Branching and pulling are now up to
4832
2x faster. Utilize paramiko.readv() support for async requests if it
4833
is available (paramiko > 1.6) (John Arbash Meinel)
4834
4835
BUG FIXES:
4836
4837
* Fix shadowed definition of TestLocationConfig that caused some
4838
tests not to run.
4839
(Erik Bågfors, Michael Ellerman, Martin Pool, #32587)
4840
4841
* Fix unnecessary requirement of sign-my-commits that it be run from
4842
a working directory. (Martin Pool, Robert Collins)
4843
4844
* 'bzr push location' will only remember the push location if it succeeds
4845
in connecting to the remote location. (John Arbash Meinel, #49742)
4846
4847
* 'bzr revert' no longer toggles the executable bit on win32
4848
(John Arbash Meinel, #45010)
4849
4850
* Handle broken pipe under win32 correctly. (John Arbash Meinel)
4851
4852
* sftp tests now work correctly on win32 if you have a newer paramiko
4853
(John Arbash Meinel)
4854
4855
* Cleanup win32 test suite, and general cleanup of places where
4856
file handles were being held open. (John Arbash Meinel)
4857
4858
* When specifying filenames for 'diff -r x..y', the name of the file in the
4859
working directory can be used, even if its name is different in both x
4860
and y.
4861
4862
* File-ids containing single- or double-quotes are handled correctly by
4863
push. (Aaron Bentley, #52227)
4864
4865
* Normalize unicode filenames to ensure cross-platform consistency.
4866
(John Arbash Meinel, #43689)
4867
4868
* The argument parser can now handle '-' as an argument. Currently
4869
no code interprets it specially (it is mostly handled as a file named
4870
'-'). But plugins, and future operations can use it.
4871
(John Arbash meinel, #50984)
4872
4873
* Bundles can properly read binary files with a plain '\r' in them.
4874
(John Arbash Meinel, #51927)
4875
4876
* Tuning ``iter_entries()`` to be more efficient (John Arbash Meinel, #5444)
4877
4878
* Lots of win32 fixes (the test suite passes again).
4879
(John Arbash Meinel, #50155)
4880
4881
* Handle openbsd returning None for sys.getfilesystemencoding() (#41183)
4882
4883
* Support ftp APPE (append) to allow Knits to be used over ftp (#42592)
4884
4885
* Removals are only committed if they match the filespec (or if there is
4886
no filespec). (#46635, Aaron Bentley)
4887
4888
* smart-add recurses through all supplied directories
4889
(John Arbash Meinel, #52578)
4890
4891
* Make the bundle reader extra lines before and after the bundle text.
4892
This allows you to parse an email with the bundle inline.
4893
(John Arbash Meinel, #49182)
4894
4895
* Change the file id generator to squash a little bit more. Helps when
4896
working with long filenames on windows. (Also helps for unicode filenames
4897
not generating hidden files). (John Arbash Meinel, #43801)
4898
4899
* Restore terminal mode on C-c while reading sftp password. (#48923,
4900
Nicholas Allen, Martin Pool)
4901
4902
* Timestamps are rounded to 1ms, and revision entries can be recreated
4903
exactly. (John Arbash Meinel, Jamie Wilkinson, #40693)
4904
4905
* Branch.base has changed to a URL, but ~/.bazaar/locations.conf should
4906
use local paths, since it is user visible (John Arbash Meinel, #53653)
4907
4908
* ``bzr status foo`` when foo was unversioned used to cause a full delta
4909
to be generated (John Arbash Meinel, #53638)
4910
4911
* When reading revision properties, an empty value should be considered
4912
the empty string, not None (John Arbash Meinel, #47782)
4913
4914
* ``bzr diff --diff-options`` can now handle binary files being changed.
4915
Also, the output is consistent when --diff-options is not supplied.
4916
(John Arbash Meinel, #54651, #52930)
4917
4918
* Use the right suffixes for loading plugins (John Arbash Meinel, #51810)
4919
4920
* Fix ``Branch.get_parent()`` to handle the case when the parent is not
4921
accessible (John Arbash Meinel, #52976)
4922
4923
INTERNALS:
4924
4925
* Combine the ignore rules into a single regex rather than looping over
4926
them to reduce the threshold where N^2 behaviour occurs in operations
4927
like status. (Jan Hudec, Robert Collins).
4928
4929
* Appending to ``bzrlib.DEFAULT_IGNORE`` is now deprecated. Instead, use
4930
one of the add functions in bzrlib.ignores. (John Arbash Meinel)
4931
4932
* 'bzr push' should only push the ancestry of the current revision, not
4933
all of the history in the repository. This is especially important for
4934
shared repositories. (John Arbash Meinel)
4935
4936
* ``bzrlib.delta.compare_trees`` now iterates in alphabetically sorted order,
4937
rather than randomly walking the inventories. (John Arbash Meinel)
4938
4939
* Doctests are now run in temporary directories which are cleaned up when
4940
they finish, rather than using special ScratchDir/ScratchBranch objects.
4941
(Martin Pool)
4942
4943
* Split ``check`` into separate methods on the branch and on the repository,
4944
so that it can be specialized in ways that are useful or efficient for
4945
different formats. (Martin Pool, Robert Collins)
4946
4947
* Deprecate ``Repository.all_revision_ids``; most methods don't really need
4948
the global revision graph but only that part leading up to a particular
4949
revision. (Martin Pool, Robert Collins)
4950
4951
* Add a BzrDirFormat ``control_formats`` list which allows for control formats
4952
that do not use '.bzr' to store their data - i.e. '.svn', '.hg' etc.
4953
(Robert Collins, Jelmer Vernooij).
4954
4955
* ``bzrlib.diff.external_diff`` can be redirected to any file-like object.
4956
Uses subprocess instead of spawnvp.
4957
(James Henstridge, John Arbash Meinel, #4047, #48914)
4958
4959
* New command line option '--profile-imports', which will install a custom
4960
importer to log time to import modules and regex compilation time to
4961
sys.stderr (John Arbash Meinel)
4962
4963
* 'EmptyTree' is now deprecated, please use ``repository.revision_tree(None)``
4964
instead. (Robert Collins)
4965
4966
* "RevisionTree" is now in bzrlib/revisiontree.py. (Robert Collins)

* Fix failure to commit a merge in a checkout. (Martin Pool,
4981
Robert Collins, Erik Bågfors, #43959)
4982
4983
* Nicer messages from 'commit' in the case of renames, and correct
4984
messages when a merge has occured. (Robert Collins, Martin Pool)
4985
4986
* Separate functionality from assert statements as they are skipped in
4987
optimized mode of python. Add the same check to pending merges.

CHANGES:
5000
5001
* Make editor invocation comply with Debian Policy. First check
5002
environment variables VISUAL and EDITOR, then try editor from
5003

5004
list of editors. (Olaf Conradi, #42904)
5005
5006
NEW FEATURES:

5008
* New 'register-branch' command registers a public branch into

* New public api in InventoryEntry - ``describe_change(old, new)`` which
5015
provides a human description of the changes between two old and
5016
new. (Robert Collins, Martin Pool)
5017
5018
TESTING:
5019
5020
* Fix test case for bzr info in upgrading a standalone branch to metadir,
5021
uses bzrlib api now. (Olaf Conradi)

bzr 0.8 2006-05-08
5024
-------------------
5025
5026
NOTES WHEN UPGRADING:
5027
5028
Release 0.8 of bzr introduces a new format for history storage, called
5029
'knit', as an evolution of to the 'weave' format used in 0.7. Local
5030
and remote operations are faster using knits than weaves. Several
5031
operations including 'init', 'init-repo', and 'upgrade' take a
5032
--format option that controls this. Branching from an existing branch
5033
will keep the same format.
5034
5035
It is possible to merge, pull and push between branches of different
5036
formats but this is slower than moving data between homogenous
5037
branches. It is therefore recommended (but not required) that you
5038
upgrade all branches for a project at the same time. Information on
5039
formats is shown by 'bzr info'.
5040
5041
bzr 0.8 now allows creation of 'repositories', which hold the history
5042
of files and revisions for several branches. Previously bzr kept all
5043
the history for a branch within the .bzr directory at the root of the
5044
branch, and this is still the default. To create a repository, use
5045
the new 'bzr init-repo' command. Branches exist as directories under
5046
the repository and contain just a small amount of information
5047
indicating the current revision of the branch.
5048
5049
bzr 0.8 also supports 'checkouts', which are similar to in cvs and
5050
subversion. Checkouts are associated with a branch (optionally in a
5051
repository), which contains all the historical information. The
5052
result is that a checkout can be deleted without losing any
5053
already-committed revisions. A new 'update' command is also available.
5054
5055
Repositories and checkouts are not supported with the 0.7 storage
5056
format. To use them you must upgrad to either knits, or to the
5057
'metaweave' format, which uses weaves but changes the .bzr directory
5058
arrangement.
5059
5060
5061
IMPROVEMENTS:
5062
5063
* Sftp paths can now be relative, or local, according to the lftp
5064
convention. Paths now take the form::
5065
5066
sftp://user:pass@host:port/~/relative/path
5067
or
5068
sftp://user:pass@host:port/absolute/path
5069
5070
* The FTP transport now tries to reconnect after a temporary
5071
failure. ftp put is made atomic. (Matthieu Moy)
5072
5073
* The FTP transport now maintains a pool of connections, and
5074
reuses them to avoid multiple connections to the same host (like
5075
sftp did). (Daniel Silverstone)
5076
5077
* The ``bzr_man.py`` file has been removed. To create the man page now,
5078
use ``./generate_docs.py man``. The new program can also create other files.
5079
Run ``python generate_docs.py --help`` for usage information.
5080
(Hans Ulrich Niedermann & James Blackwell).
5081
5082
* Man Page now gives full help (James Blackwell).
5083
Help also updated to reflect user config now being stored in .bazaar
5084
(Hans Ulrich Niedermann)
5085
5086
* It's now possible to set aliases in bazaar.conf (Erik Bågfors)
5087
5088
* Pull now accepts a --revision argument (Erik Bågfors)
5089
5090
* ``bzr re-sign`` now allows multiple revisions to be supplied on the command
5091
line. You can now use the following command to sign all of your old
5092
commits::
5093
5094
find .bzr/revision-store// -name my@email-* \
5095
| sed 's/.*\/\/..\///' \
5096
| xargs bzr re-sign
5097
5098
* Upgrade can now upgrade over the network. (Robert Collins)
5099
5100
* Two new commands 'bzr checkout' and 'bzr update' allow for CVS/SVN-alike
5101
behaviour. By default they will cache history in the checkout, but
5102
with --lightweight almost all data is kept in the master branch.
5103
(Robert Collins)
5104
5105
* 'revert' unversions newly-versioned files, instead of deleting them.
5106
5107
* 'merge' is more robust. Conflict messages have changed.
5108
5109
* 'merge' and 'revert' no longer clobber existing files that end in '~' or
5110
'.moved'.
5111
5112
* Default log format can be set in configuration and plugins can register
5113
their own formatters. (Erik Bågfors)
5114
5115
* New 'reconcile' command will check branch consistency and repair indexes
5116
that can become out of sync in pre 0.8 formats. (Robert Collins,
5117
Daniel Silverstone)
5118
5119
* New 'bzr init --format' and 'bzr upgrade --format' option to control
5120
what storage format is created or produced. (Robert Collins,
5121
Martin Pool)
5122
5123
* Add parent location to 'bzr info', if there is one. (Olaf Conradi)
5124
5125
* New developer commands 'weave-list' and 'weave-join'. (Martin Pool)
5126
5127
* New 'init-repository' command, plus support for repositories in 'init'
5128
and 'branch' (Aaron Bentley, Erik Bågfors, Robert Collins)
5129
5130
* Improve output of 'info' command. Show all relevant locations related to
5131
working tree, branch and repository. Use kibibytes for binary quantities.
5132
Fix off-by-one error in missing revisions of working tree. Make 'info'
5133
work on branches, repositories and remote locations. Show locations
5134
relative to the shared repository, if applicable. Show locking status
5135
of locations. (Olaf Conradi)
5136
5137
* Diff and merge now safely handle binary files. (Aaron Bentley)
5138
5139
* 'pull' and 'push' now normalise the revision history, so that any two
5140
branches with the same tip revision will have the same output from 'log'.
5141
(Robert Collins)
5142
5143
* 'merge' accepts --remember option to store parent location, like 'push'
5144
and 'pull'. (Olaf Conradi)
5145
5146
* bzr status and diff when files given as arguments do not exist
5147
in the relevant trees. (Martin Pool, #3619)
5148
5149
* Add '.hg' to the default ignore list. (Martin Pool)
5150
5151
* 'knit' is now the default disk format. This improves disk performance and
5152
utilization, increases incremental pull performance, robustness with SFTP
5153
and allows checkouts over SFTP to perform acceptably.
5154
The initial Knit code was contributed by Johan Rydberg based on a
5155
specification by Martin Pool.
5156
(Robert Collins, Aaron Bentley, Johan Rydberg, Martin Pool).
5157
5158
* New tool to generate all-in-one html version of the manual. (Alexander
5159
Belchenko)
5160
5161
* Hitting CTRL-C while doing an SFTP push will no longer cause stale locks
5162
to be left in the SFTP repository. (Robert Collins, Martin Pool).
5163
5164
* New option 'diff --prefix' to control how files are named in diff
5165
output, with shortcuts '-p0' and '-p1' corresponding to the options for
5166
GNU patch. (Alexander Belchenko, Goffredo Baroncelli, Martin Pool)
5167
5168
* Add --revision option to 'annotate' command. (Olaf Conradi)
5169
5170
* If bzr shows an unexpected revision-history after pulling (perhaps due
5171
to a reweave) it can now be corrected by 'bzr reconcile'.
5172
(Robert Collins)
5173
5174
CHANGES:
5175
5176
* Commit is now verbose by default, and shows changed filenames and the
5177
new revision number. (Robert Collins, Martin Pool)
5178
5179
* Unify 'mv', 'move', 'rename'. (Matthew Fuller, #5379)
5180
5181
* 'bzr -h' shows help. (Martin Pool, Ian Bicking, #35940)
5182
5183
* Make 'pull' and 'push' remember location on failure using --remember.
5184
(Olaf Conradi)
5185
5186
* For compatibility, make old format for using weaves inside metadir
5187
available as 'metaweave' format. Rename format 'metadir' to 'default'.
5188
Clean up help for option --format in commands 'init', 'init-repo' and
5189
'upgrade'. (Olaf Conradi)
5190
5191
INTERNALS:
5192
5193
* The internal storage of history, and logical branch identity have now
5194
been split into Branch, and Repository. The common locking and file
5195
management routines are now in bzrlib.lockablefiles.
5196
(Aaron Bentley, Robert Collins, Martin Pool)
5197
5198
* Transports can now raise DependencyNotPresent if they need a library
5199
which is not installed, and then another implementation will be
5200
tried. (Martin Pool)
5201
5202
* Remove obsolete (and no-op) `decode` parameter to `Transport.get`.
5203
(Martin Pool)
5204
5205
* Using Tree Transform for merge, revert, tree-building
5206
5207
* WorkingTree.create, Branch.create, ``WorkingTree.create_standalone``,
5208
Branch.initialize are now deprecated. Please see ``BzrDir.create_*`` for
5209
replacement API's. (Robert Collins)
5210
5211
* New BzrDir class represents the .bzr control directory and manages
5212
formatting issues. (Robert Collins)
5213
5214
* New repository.InterRepository class encapsulates Repository to
5215
Repository actions and allows for clean selection of optimised code
5216
paths. (Robert Collins)
5217
5218
* ``bzrlib.fetch.fetch`` and ``bzrlib.fetch.greedy_fetch`` are now
5219
deprecated, please use ``branch.fetch`` or ``repository.fetch``
5220
depending on your needs. (Robert Collins)
5221
5222
* deprecated methods now have a ``is_deprecated`` flag on them that can
5223
be checked, if you need to determine whether a given callable is
5224
deprecated at runtime. (Robert Collins)
5225
5226
* Progress bars are now nested - see
5227
``bzrlib.ui.ui_factory.nested_progress_bar``.
5228
(Robert Collins, Robey Pointer)
5229
5230
* New API call ``get_format_description()`` for each type of format.
5231
(Olaf Conradi)
5232
5233
* Changed ``branch.set_parent()`` to accept None to remove parent.
5234
(Olaf Conradi)
5235
5236
* Deprecated BzrError AmbiguousBase. (Olaf Conradi)
5237
5238
* WorkingTree.branch is now a read only property. (Robert Collins)
5239
5240
* bzrlib.ui.text.TextUIFactory now accepts a ``bar_type`` parameter which
5241
can be None or a factory that will create a progress bar. This is
5242
useful for testing or for overriding the bzrlib.progress heuristic.
5243
(Robert Collins)
5244
5245
* New API method ``get_physical_lock_status()`` to query locks present on a
5246
transport. (Olaf Conradi)
5247
5248
* Repository.reconcile now takes a thorough keyword parameter to allow
5249
requesting an indepth reconciliation, rather than just a data-loss
5250
check. (Robert Collins)
5251
5252
* ``bzrlib.ui.ui_factory protocol`` now supports ``get_boolean`` to prompt
5253
the user for yes/no style input. (Robert Collins)
5254
5255
TESTING:
5256
5257
* SFTP tests now shortcut the SSH negotiation, reducing test overhead
5258
for testing SFTP protocol support. (Robey Pointer)
5259
5260
* Branch formats are now tested once per implementation (see ``bzrlib.
5261
tests.branch_implementations``. This is analagous to the transport
5262
interface tests, and has been followed up with working tree,
5263
repository and BzrDir tests. (Robert Collins)
5264
5265
* New test base class TestCaseWithTransport provides a transport aware
5266
test environment, useful for testing any transport-interface using
5267
code. The test suite option --transport controls the transport used
5268
by this class (when its not being used as part of implementation
5269
contract testing). (Robert Collins)
5270
5271
* Close logging handler on disabling the test log. This will remove the
5272
handler from the internal list inside python's logging module,
5273
preventing shutdown from closing it twice. (Olaf Conradi)
5274
5275
* Move test case for uncommit to blackbox tests. (Olaf Conradi)
5276
5277
* ``run_bzr`` and ``run_bzr_captured`` now accept a 'stdin="foo"'
5278
parameter which will provide String("foo") to the command as its stdin.
5279
5280
bzr 0.7 2006-01-09
5281
------------------
5282
5283
CHANGES:
5284
5285
* .bzrignore is excluded from exports, on the grounds that it's a bzr
5286
internal-use file and may not be wanted. (Jamie Wilkinson)
5287
5288
* The "bzr directories" command were removed in favor of the new
5289
--kind option to the "bzr inventory" command. To list all
5290
versioned directories, now use "bzr inventory --kind directory".
5291
(Johan Rydberg)
5292
5293
* Under Windows configuration directory is now ``%APPDATA%\bazaar\2.0``
5294
by default. (John Arbash Meinel)
5295
5296
* The parent of Bzr configuration directory can be set by ``BZR_HOME``
5297
environment variable. Now the path for it is searched in ``BZR_HOME``,
5298
then in HOME. Under Windows the order is: ``BZR_HOME``, ``APPDATA``
5299
(usually points to ``C:\Documents and Settings\User Name\Application Data``),
5300
``HOME``. (John Arbash Meinel)
5301
5302
* Plugins with the same name in different directories in the bzr plugin
5303
path are no longer loaded: only the first successfully loaded one is
5304
used. (Robert Collins)
5305
5306
* Use systems' external ssh command to open connections if possible.
5307
This gives better integration with user settings such as ProxyCommand.
5308
(James Henstridge)
5309
5310
* Permissions on files underneath .bzr/ are inherited from the .bzr
5311
directory. So for a shared repository, simply doing 'chmod -R g+w .bzr/'
5312
will mean that future file will be created with group write permissions.
5313
5314
* configure.in and config.guess are no longer in the builtin default
5315
ignore list.
5316
5317
* '.sw[nop]' pattern ignored, to ignore vim swap files for nameless
5318
files. (John Arbash Meinel, Martin Pool)
5319
5320
IMPROVEMENTS:
5321
5322
* "bzr INIT dir" now initializes the specified directory, and creates
5323
it if it does not exist. (John Arbash Meinel)
5324
5325
* New remerge command (Aaron Bentley)
5326
5327
* Better zsh completion script. (Steve Borho)
5328
5329
* 'bzr diff' now returns 1 when there are changes in the working
5330
tree. (Robert Collins)
5331
5332
* 'bzr push' now exists and can push changes to a remote location.
5333
This uses the transport infrastructure, and can store the remote
5334
location in the ~/.bazaar/branches.conf configuration file.
5335
(Robert Collins)
5336
5337
* Test directories are only kept if the test fails and the user requests
5338
that they be kept.
5339
5340
* Tweaks to short log printing
5341
5342
* Added branch nicks, new nick command, printing them in log output.
5343
(Aaron Bentley)
5344
5345
* If ``$BZR_PDB`` is set, pop into the debugger when an uncaught exception
5346
occurs. (Martin Pool)
5347
5348
* Accept 'bzr resolved' (an alias for 'bzr resolve'), as this is
5349
the same as Subversion. (Martin Pool)
5350
5351
* New ftp transport support (on ftplib), for ftp:// and aftp://
5352
URLs. (Daniel Silverstone)
5353
5354
* Commit editor temporary files now start with ``bzr_log.``, to allow
5355
text editors to match the file name and set up appropriate modes or
5356
settings. (Magnus Therning)
5357
5358
* Improved performance when integrating changes from a remote weave.
5359
(Goffredo Baroncelli)
5360
5361
* Sftp will attempt to cache the connection, so it is more likely that
5362
a connection will be reused, rather than requiring multiple password
5363
requests.
5364
5365
* bzr revno now takes an optional argument indicating the branch whose
5366
revno should be printed. (Michael Ellerman)
5367
5368
* bzr cat defaults to printing the last version of the file.
5369
(Matthieu Moy, #3632)
5370
5371
* New global option 'bzr --lsprof COMMAND' runs bzr under the lsprof
5372
profiler. (Denys Duchier)
5373
5374
* Faster commits by reading only the headers of affected weave files.
5375
(Denys Duchier)
5376
5377
* 'bzr add' now takes a --dry-run parameter which shows you what would be
5378
added, but doesn't actually add anything. (Michael Ellerman)
5379
5380
* 'bzr add' now lists how many files were ignored per glob. add --verbose
5381
lists the specific files. (Aaron Bentley)
5382
5383
* 'bzr missing' now supports displaying changes in diverged trees and can
5384
be limited to show what either end of the comparison is missing.
5385
(Aaron Bently, with a little prompting from Daniel Silverstone)
5386
5387
BUG FIXES:
5388
5389
* SFTP can walk up to the root path without index errors. (Robert Collins)
5390
5391
* Fix bugs in running bzr with 'python -O'. (Martin Pool)
5392
5393
* Error when run with -OO
5394
5395
* Fix bug in reporting http errors that don't have an http error code.
5396
(Martin Pool)
5397
5398
* Handle more cases of pipe errors in display commands
5399
5400
* Change status to 3 for all errors
5401
5402
* Files that are added and unlinked before committing are completely
5403
ignored by diff and status
5404
5405
* Stores with some compressed texts and some uncompressed texts are now
5406
able to be used. (John A Meinel)
5407
5408
* Fix for bzr pull failing sometimes under windows
5409
5410
* Fix for sftp transport under windows when using interactive auth
5411
5412
* Show files which are both renamed and modified as such in 'bzr
5413
status' output. (Daniel Silverstone, #4503)
5414
5415
* Make annotate cope better with revisions committed without a valid
5416
email address. (Marien Zwart)
5417
5418
* Fix representation of tab characters in commit messages.
5419
(Harald Meland)
5420
5421
* List of plugin directories in ``BZR_PLUGIN_PATH`` environment variable is
5422
now parsed properly under Windows. (Alexander Belchenko)
5423
5424
* Show number of revisions pushed/pulled/merged. (Robey Pointer)
5425
5426
* Keep a cached copy of the basis inventory to speed up operations
5427
that need to refer to it. (Johan Rydberg, Martin Pool)
5428
5429
* Fix bugs in bzr status display of non-ascii characters.
5430
(Martin Pool)
5431
5432
* Remove Makefile.in from default ignore list.
5433
(Tollef Fog Heen, Martin Pool, #6413)
5434
5435
* Fix failure in 'bzr added'. (Nathan McCallum, Martin Pool)
5436
5437
TESTING:
5438
5439
* Fix selftest asking for passwords when there are no SFTP keys.
5440
(Robey Pointer, Jelmer Vernooij)
5441
5442
* Fix selftest run with 'python -O'. (Martin Pool)
5443
5444
* Fix HTTP tests under Windows. (John Arbash Meinel)
5445
5446
* Make tests work even if HOME is not set (Aaron Bentley)
5447
5448
* Updated ``build_tree`` to use fixed line-endings for tests which read
5449
the file cotents and compare. Make some tests use this to pass under
5450
Windows. (John Arbash Meinel)
5451
5452
* Skip stat and symlink tests under Windows. (Alexander Belchenko)
5453
5454
* Delay in selftest/testhashcash is now issued under win32 and Cygwin.
5455
(John Arbash Meinel)
5456
5457
* Use terminal width to align verbose test output. (Martin Pool)
5458
5459
* Blackbox tests are maintained within the bzrlib.tests.blackbox directory.
5460
If adding a new test script please add that to
5461
``bzrlib.tests.blackbox.__init__``. (Robert Collins)
5462
5463
* Much better error message if one of the test suites can't be
5464
imported. (Martin Pool)
5465
5466
* Make check now runs the test suite twice - once with the default locale,
5467
and once with all locales forced to C, to expose bugs. This is not
5468
trivially done within python, so for now its only triggered by running
5469
Make check. Integrators and packagers who wish to check for full
5470
platform support should run 'make check' to test the source.
5471
(Robert Collins)
5472
5473
* Tests can now run TestSkipped if they can't execute for any reason.
5474
(Martin Pool) (NB: TestSkipped should only be raised for correctable
5475
reasons - see the wiki spec ImprovingBzrTestSuite).
5476
5477
* Test sftp with relative, absolute-in-homedir and absolute-not-in-homedir
5478
paths for the transport tests. Introduce blackbox remote sftp tests that
5479
test the same permutations. (Robert Collins, Robey Pointer)
5480
5481
* Transport implementation tests are now independent of the local file
5482
system, which allows tests for esoteric transports, and for features
5483
not available in the local file system. They also repeat for variations
5484
on the URL scheme that can introduce issues in the transport code,
5485
see bzrlib.transport.TransportTestProviderAdapter() for this.
5486
(Robert Collins).
5487
5488
* ``TestCase.build_tree`` uses the transport interface to build trees,
5489
pass in a transport parameter to give it an existing connection.
5490
(Robert Collins).
5491
5492
INTERNALS:
5493
5494
* WorkingTree.pull has been split across Branch and WorkingTree,
5495
to allow Branch only pulls. (Robert Collins)
5496
5497
* ``commands.display_command`` now returns the result of the decorated
5498
function. (Robert Collins)
5499
5500
* LocationConfig now has a ``set_user_option(key, value)`` call to save
5501
a setting in its matching location section (a new one is created
5502
if needed). (Robert Collins)
5503
5504
* Branch has two new methods, ``get_push_location`` and
5505
``set_push_location`` to respectively, get and set the push location.
5506
(Robert Collins)
5507
5508
* ``commands.register_command`` now takes an optional flag to signal that
5509
the registrant is planning to decorate an existing command. When
5510
given multiple plugins registering a command is not an error, and
5511
the original command class (whether built in or a plugin based one) is
5512
returned to the caller. There is a new error 'MustUseDecorated' for
5513
signalling when a wrapping command should switch to the original
5514
version. (Robert Collins)
5515
5516
* Some option parsing errors will raise 'BzrOptionError', allowing
5517
granular detection for decorating commands. (Robert Collins).
5518
5519
* ``Branch.read_working_inventory`` has moved to
5520
``WorkingTree.read_working_inventory``. This necessitated changes to
5521
``Branch.get_root_id``, and a move of ``Branch.set_inventory`` to
5522
WorkingTree as well. To make it clear that a WorkingTree cannot always
5523
be obtained ``Branch.working_tree()`` will raise
5524
``errors.NoWorkingTree`` if one cannot be obtained. (Robert Collins)
5525
5526
* All pending merges operations from Branch are now on WorkingTree.
5527
(Robert Collins)
5528
5529
* The follow operations from Branch have moved to WorkingTree::
5530
5531
add()
5532
commit()
5533
move()
5534
rename_one()
5535
unknowns()
5536
5537
(Robert Collins)
5538
5539
* ``bzrlib.add.smart_add_branch`` is now ``smart_add_tree``. (Robert Collins)
5540
5541
* New "rio" serialization format, similar to rfc-822. (Martin Pool)
5542
5543
* Rename selftests to ``bzrlib.tests.test_foo``. (John A Meinel, Martin
5544
Pool)
5545
5546
* ``bzrlib.plugin.all_plugins`` has been changed from an attribute to a
5547
query method. (Robert Collins)
5548
5549
* New options to read only the table-of-contents of a weave.
5550
(Denys Duchier)
5551
5552
* Raise NoSuchFile when someone tries to add a non-existant file.
5553
(Michael Ellerman)
5554
5555
* Simplify handling of DivergedBranches in ``cmd_pull()``.
5556
(Michael Ellerman)
5557
5558
* Branch.controlfile* logic has moved to lockablefiles.LockableFiles, which
5559
is exposed as ``Branch().control_files``. Also this has been altered with the
5560
controlfile pre/suffix replaced by simple method names like 'get' and
5561
'put'. (Aaron Bentley, Robert Collins).
5562
5563
* Deprecated functions and methods can now be marked as such using the
5564
``bzrlib.symbol_versioning`` module. Marked method have their docstring
5565
updated and will issue a DeprecationWarning using the warnings module
5566
when they are used. (Robert Collins)
5567
5568
* ``bzrlib.osutils.safe_unicode`` now exists to provide parameter coercion
5569
for functions that need unicode strings. (Robert Collins)

------------------
5573
5574
IMPROVEMENTS:
5575
5576
* pull now takes --verbose to show you what revisions are added or removed
5577
(John A Meinel)
5578
5579
* merge now takes a --show-base option to include the base text in
5580
conflicts.
5581
(Aaron Bentley)
5582
5583
* The config files are now read using ConfigObj, so '=' should be used as
5584
a separator, not ':'.
5585
(Aaron Bentley)
5586
5587
* New 'bzr commit --strict' option refuses to commit if there are
5588
any unknown files in the tree. To commit, make sure all files are
5589
either ignored, added, or deleted. (Michael Ellerman)
5590
5591
* The config directory is now ~/.bazaar, and there is a single file
5592
~/.bazaar/bazaar.conf storing email, editor and other preferences.
5593
(Robert Collins)
5594
5595
* 'bzr add' no longer takes a --verbose option, and a --quiet option
5596
has been added that suppresses all output.
5597
5598
* Improved zsh completion support in contrib/zsh, from Clint
5599
Adams.
5600
5601
* Builtin 'bzr annotate' command, by Martin Pool with improvements from
5602
Goffredo Baroncelli.
5603
5604
* 'bzr check' now accepts -v for verbose reporting, and checks for
5605
ghosts in the branch. (Robert Collins)
5606
5607
* New command 're-sign' which will regenerate the gpg signature for
5608
a revision. (Robert Collins)
5609
5610
* If you set ``check_signatures=require`` for a path in
5611
``~/.bazaar/branches.conf`` then bzr will invoke your
5612
``gpg_signing_command`` (defaults to gpg) and record a digital signature
5613
of your commit. (Robert Collins)
5614
5615
* New sftp transport, based on Paramiko. (Robey Pointer)
5616
5617
* 'bzr pull' now accepts '--clobber' which will discard local changes
5618
and make this branch identical to the source branch. (Robert Collins)
5619
5620
* Just give a quieter warning if a plugin can't be loaded, and
5621
put the details in .bzr.log. (Martin Pool)
5622
5623
* 'bzr branch' will now set the branch-name to the last component of the
5624
output directory, if one was supplied.
5625
5626
* If the option ``post_commit`` is set to one (or more) python function
5627
names (must be in the bzrlib namespace), then they will be invoked
5628
after the commit has completed, with the branch and ``revision_id`` as
5629
parameters. (Robert Collins)
5630
5631
* Merge now has a retcode of 1 when conflicts occur. (Robert Collins)
5632
5633
* --merge-type weave is now supported for file contents. Tree-shape
5634
changes are still three-way based. (Martin Pool, Aaron Bentley)
5635
5636
* 'bzr check' allows the first revision on revision-history to have
5637
parents - something that is expected for cheap checkouts, and occurs
5638
when conversions from baz do not have all history. (Robert Collins).
5639
5640
* 'bzr merge' can now graft unrelated trees together, if your specify
5641
0 as a base. (Aaron Bentley)
5642
5643
* 'bzr commit branch' and 'bzr commit branch/file1 branch/file2' now work
5644
(Aaron Bentley)
5645
5646
* Add '.sconsign*' to default ignore list. (Alexander Belchenko)
5647
5648
* 'bzr merge --reprocess' minimizes conflicts
5649
5650
TESTING:
5651
5652
* The 'bzr selftest --pattern' option for has been removed, now
5653
test specifiers on the command line can be simple strings, or
5654
regexps, or both. (Robert Collins)
5655
5656
* Passing -v to selftest will now show the time each test took to
5657
complete, which will aid in analysing performance regressions and
5658
related questions. (Robert Collins)
5659
5660
* 'bzr selftest' runs all tests, even if one fails, unless '--one'
5661
is given. (Martin Pool)
5662
5663
* There is a new method for TestCaseInTempDir, assertFileEqual, which
5664
will check that a given content is equal to the content of the named
5665
file. (Robert Collins)
5666
5667
* Fix test suite's habit of leaving many temporary log files in $TMPDIR.
5668
(Martin Pool)
5669
5670
INTERNALS:
5671
5672
* New 'testament' command and concept for making gpg-signatures
5673
of revisions that are not tied to a particular internal
5674
representation. (Martin Pool).
5675
5676
* Per-revision properties ('revprops') as key-value associated
5677
strings on each revision created when the revision is committed.
5678
Intended mainly for the use of external tools. (Martin Pool).
5679
5680
* Config options have moved from bzrlib.osutils to bzrlib.config.
5681
(Robert Collins)
5682
5683
* Improved command line option definitions allowing explanations
5684
for individual options, among other things. Contributed by
5685
Magnus Therning.
5686
5687
* Config options have moved from bzrlib.osutils to bzrlib.config.
5688
Configuration is now done via the config.Config interface:
5689
Depending on whether you have a Branch, a Location or no information
5690
available, construct a ``*Config``, and use its ``signature_checking``,
5691
``username`` and ``user_email`` methods. (Robert Collins)
5692
5693
* Plugins are now loaded under bzrlib.plugins, not bzrlib.plugin, and
5694
they are made available for other plugins to use. You should not
5695
import other plugins during the ``__init__`` of your plugin though, as
5696
no ordering is guaranteed, and the plugins directory is not on the
5697
python path. (Robert Collins)
5698
5699
* Branch.relpath has been moved to WorkingTree.relpath. WorkingTree no
5700
no longer takes an inventory, rather it takes an option branch
5701
parameter, and if None is given will open the branch at basedir
5702
implicitly. (Robert Collins)
5703
5704
* Cleaner exception structure and error reporting. Suggested by
5705
Scott James Remnant. (Martin Pool)
5706
5707
* Branch.remove has been moved to WorkingTree, which has also gained
5708
``lock_read``, ``lock_write`` and ``unlock`` methods for convenience.
5709
(Robert Collins)
5710
5711
* Two decorators, ``needs_read_lock`` and ``needs_write_lock`` have been
5712
added to the branch module. Use these to cause a function to run in a
5713
read or write lock respectively. (Robert Collins)
5714
5715
* ``Branch.open_containing`` now returns a tuple (Branch, relative-path),
5716
which allows direct access to the common case of 'get me this file
5717
from its branch'. (Robert Collins)
5718
5719
* Transports can register using ``register_lazy_transport``, and they
5720
will be loaded when first used. (Martin Pool)
5721
5722
* 'pull' has been factored out of the command as ``WorkingTree.pull()``.
5723
A new option to WorkingTree.pull has been added, clobber, which will
5724
ignore diverged history and pull anyway.
5725
(Robert Collins)
5726
5727
* config.Config has a ``get_user_option`` call that accepts an option name.
5728
This will be looked up in branches.conf and bazaar.conf as normal.
5729
It is intended that this be used by plugins to support options -
5730
options of built in programs should have specific methods on the config.
5731
(Robert Collins)
5732
5733
* ``merge.merge_inner`` now has tempdir as an optional parameter.
5734
(Robert Collins)
5735
5736
* Tree.kind is not recorded at the top level of the hierarchy, as it was
5737
missing on EmptyTree, leading to a bug with merge on EmptyTrees.
5738
(Robert Collins)
5739
5740
* ``WorkingTree.__del__`` has been removed, it was non deterministic and not
5741
doing what it was intended to. See ``WorkingTree.__init__`` for a comment
5742
about future directions. (Robert Collins/Martin Pool)
5743
5744
* bzrlib.transport.http has been modified so that only 404 urllib errors
5745
are returned as NoSuchFile. Other exceptions will propogate as normal.
5746
This allows debuging of actual errors. (Robert Collins)
5747
5748
* bzrlib.transport.Transport now accepts *ONLY* url escaped relative paths
5749
to apis like 'put', 'get' and 'has'. This is to provide consistent
5750
behaviour - it operates on url's only. (Robert Collins)
5751
5752
* Transports can register using ``register_lazy_transport``, and they
5753
will be loaded when first used. (Martin Pool)
5754
5755
* ``merge_flex`` no longer calls ``conflict_handler.finalize()``, instead that
5756
is called by ``merge_inner``. This is so that the conflict count can be
5757
retrieved (and potentially manipulated) before returning to the caller
5758
of ``merge_inner``. Likewise 'merge' now returns the conflict count to the
5759
caller. (Robert Collins)
5760
5761
* ``revision.revision_graph`` can handle having only partial history for
5762
a revision - that is no revisions in the graph with no parents.
5763
(Robert Collins).
5764
5765
* New ``builtins.branch_files`` uses the standard ``file_list`` rules to
5766
produce a branch and a list of paths, relative to that branch
5767
(Aaron Bentley)
5768
5769
* New TestCase.addCleanup facility.
5770
5771
* New ``bzrlib.version_info`` tuple (similar to ``sys.version_info``),
5772
which can be used by programs importing bzrlib.
5773
5774
BUG FIXES:
5775
5776
* Better handling of branches in directories with non-ascii names.
5777
(Joel Rosdahl, Panagiotis Papadakos)
5778
5779
* Upgrades of trees with no commits will not fail due to accessing
5780
[-1] in the revision-history. (Andres Salomon)
5781
5782
5783
bzr 0.1.1 2005-10-12
5784
--------------------
5785
5786
BUG FIXES:
5787
5788
* Fix problem in pulling over http from machines that do not
5789
allow directories to be listed.
5790
5791
* Avoid harmless warning about invalid hash cache after
5792
upgrading branch format.
5793
5794
PERFORMANCE:
5795
5796
* Avoid some unnecessary http operations in branch and pull.

bzr 0.1 2005-10-11
5800
------------------
5801
5802
NOTES:
5803
5804
* 'bzr branch' over http initially gives a very high estimate
5805
of completion time but it should fall as the first few
5806
revisions are pulled in. branch is still slow on
5807
high-latency connections.
5808
5809
BUG FIXES:
5810
5811
* bzr-man.py has been updated to work again. Contributed by
5812
Rob Weir.
5813
5814
* Locking is now done with fcntl.lockf which works with NFS
5815
file systems. Contributed by Harald Meland.
5816
5817
* When a merge encounters a file that has been deleted on
5818
one side and modified on the other, the old contents are
5819
written out to foo.BASE and foo.SIDE, where SIDE is this
5820
or OTHER. Contributed by Aaron Bentley.
5821
5822
* Export was choosing incorrect file paths for the content of
5823
the tarball, this has been fixed by Aaron Bentley.
5824
5825
* Commit will no longer commit without a log message, an
5826
error is returned instead. Contributed by Jelmer Vernooij.
5827
5828
* If you commit a specific file in a sub directory, any of its
5829
parent directories that are added but not listed will be
5830
automatically included. Suggested by Michael Ellerman.
5831
5832
* bzr commit and upgrade did not correctly record new revisions
5833
for files with only a change to their executable status.
5834
bzr will correct this when it encounters it. Fixed by
5835
Robert Collins
5836
5837
* HTTP tests now force off the use of ``http_proxy`` for the duration.
5838
Contributed by Gustavo Niemeyer.
5839
5840
* Fix problems in merging weave-based branches that have
5841
different partial views of history.
5842
5843
* Symlink support: working with symlinks when not in the root of a
5844
bzr tree was broken, patch from Scott James Remnant.
5845
5846
IMPROVEMENTS:
5847
5848
* 'branch' now accepts a --basis parameter which will take advantage
5849
of local history when making a new branch. This allows faster
5850
branching of remote branches. Contributed by Aaron Bentley.
5851
5852
* New tree format based on weave files, called version 5.
5853
Existing branches can be upgraded to this format using
5854
'bzr upgrade'.
5855
5856
* Symlinks are now versionable. Initial patch by
5857
Erik Toubro Nielsen, updated to head by Robert Collins.
5858
5859
* Executable bits are tracked on files. Patch from Gustavo
5860
Niemeyer.
5861
5862
* 'bzr status' now shows unknown files inside a selected directory.
5863
Patch from Heikki Paajanen.
5864
5865
* Merge conflicts are recorded in .bzr. Two new commands 'conflicts'
5866
and 'resolve' have needed added, which list and remove those
5867
merge conflicts respectively. A conflicted tree cannot be committed
5868
in. Contributed by Aaron Bentley.
5869
5870
* 'rm' is now an alias for 'remove'.
5871
5872
* Stores now split out their content in a single byte prefixed hash,
5873
dropping the density of files per directory by 256. Contributed by
5874
Gustavo Niemeyer.
5875
5876
* 'bzr diff -r branch:URL' will now perform a diff between two branches.
5877
Contributed by Robert Collins.
5878
5879
* 'bzr log' with the default formatter will show merged revisions,
5880
indented to the right. Initial implementation contributed by Gustavo
5881
Niemeyer, made incremental by Robert Collins.
5882
5883
5884
INTERNALS:
5885
5886
* Test case failures have the exception printed after the log
5887
for your viewing pleasure.
5888
5889
* InventoryEntry is now an abstract base class, use one of the
5890
concrete InventoryDirectory etc classes instead.
5891
5892
* Branch raises an UnsupportedFormatError when it detects a
5893
bzr branch it cannot understand. This allows for precise
5894
handling of such circumstances.
5895
5896
* Remove RevisionReference class; ``Revision.parent_ids`` is now simply a
5897
list of their ids and ``parent_sha1s`` is a list of their corresponding
5898
sha1s (for old branches only at the moment.)
5899
5900
* New method-object style interface for Commit() and Fetch().
5901
5902
* Renamed ``Branch.last_patch()`` to ``Branch.last_revision()``, since
5903
we call them revisions not patches.
5904
5905
* Move ``copy_branch`` to ``bzrlib.clone.copy_branch``. The destination
5906
directory is created if it doesn't exist.
5907
5908
* Inventories now identify the files which were present by
5909
giving the revision *of that file*.
5910
5911
* Inventory and Revision XML contains a version identifier.
5912
This must be consistent with the overall branch version
5913
but allows for more flexibility in future upgrades.
5914
5915
TESTING:
5916
5917
* Removed testsweet module so that tests can be run after
5918
bzr installed by 'bzr selftest'.
5919
5920
* 'bzr selftest' command-line arguments can now be partial ids
5921
of tests to run, e.g. ``bzr selftest test_weave``
5922

5924
bzr 0.0.9 2005-09-23
5925
--------------------
5926
5927
BUG FIXES:
5928
5929
* Fixed "branch -r" option.
5930
5931
* Fix remote access to branches containing non-compressed history.
5932
(Robert Collins).
5933
5934
* Better reliability of http server tests. (John Arbash-Meinel)
5935
5936
* Merge graph maximum distance calculation fix. (Aaron Bentley)
5937
5938
* Various minor bug in windows support have been fixed, largely in the
5939
test suite. Contributed by Alexander Belchenko.
5940
5941
IMPROVEMENTS:
5942
5943
* Status now accepts a -r argument to give status between chosen
5944
revisions. Contributed by Heikki Paajanen.
5945
5946
* Revision arguments no longer use +/-/= to control ranges, instead
5947
there is a 'before' namespace, which limits the successive namespace.
5948
For example '$ bzr log -r date:yesterday..before:date:today' will
5949
select everything from yesterday and before today. Contributed by
5950
Robey Pointer
5951
5952
* There is now a bzr.bat file created by distutils when building on
5953
Windows. Contributed by Alexander Belchenko.
5954
5955
INTERNALS:
5956
5957
* Removed uuid() as it was unused.
5958
5959
* Improved 'fetch' code for pulling revisions from one branch into
5960
another (used by pull, merged, etc.)
5961
5962
5963
bzr 0.0.8 2005-09-20
5964
--------------------
5965
5966
IMPROVEMENTS:
5967
5968
* Adding a file whose parent directory is not versioned will
5969
implicitly add the parent, and so on up to the root. This means
5970
you should never need to explictly add a directory, they'll just
5971
get added when you add a file in the directory. Contributed by
5972
Michael Ellerman.
5973
5974
* Ignore ``.DS_Store`` (contains Mac metadata) by default.
5975
(Nir Soffer)
5976
5977
* If you set ``BZR_EDITOR`` in the environment, it is checked in
5978
preference to EDITOR and the config file for the interactive commit
5979
editing program. Related to this is a bugfix where a missing program
5980
set in EDITOR would cause editing to fail, now the fallback program
5981
for the operating system is still tried.
5982
5983
* Files that are not directories/symlinks/regular files will no longer
5984
cause bzr to fail, it will just ignore them by default. You cannot add
5985
them to the tree though - they are not versionable.
5986
5987
5988
INTERNALS:
5989
5990
* Refactor xml packing/unpacking.
5991
5992
BUG FIXES:
5993
5994
* Fixed 'bzr mv' by Ollie Rutherfurd.
5995
5996
* Fixed strange error when trying to access a nonexistent http
5997
branch.
5998
5999
* Make sure that the hashcache gets written out if it can't be
6000
read.
6001
6002
6003
PORTABILITY:
6004
6005
* Various Windows fixes from Ollie Rutherfurd.
6006
6007
* Quieten warnings about locking; patch from Matt Lavin.

bzr-0.0.7 2005-09-02
6011
--------------------
6012
6013
NEW FEATURES:
6014
6015
* ``bzr shell-complete`` command contributed by Clint Adams to
6016
help with intelligent shell completion.
6017
6018
* New expert command ``bzr find-merge-base`` for debugging merges.
6019
6020
6021
ENHANCEMENTS:
6022
6023
* Much better merge support.
6024
6025
* merge3 conflicts are now reported with markers like '<<<<<<<'
6026
(seven characters) which is the same as CVS and pleases things
6027
like emacs smerge.
6028
6029
6030
BUG FIXES:
6031
6032
* ``bzr upgrade`` no longer fails when trying to fix trees that
6033
mention revisions that are not present.
6034
6035
* Fixed bugs in listing plugins from ``bzr plugins``.
6036
6037
* Fix case of $EDITOR containing options for the editor.
6038
6039
* Fix log -r refusing to show the last revision.
6040
(Patch from Goffredo Baroncelli.)
6041
6042
6043
CHANGES:
6044
6045
* ``bzr log --show-ids`` shows the revision ids of all parents.
6046
6047
* Externally provided commands on your $BZRPATH no longer need
6048
to recognize --bzr-usage to work properly, and can just handle
6049
--help themselves.
6050
6051
6052
LIBRARY:
6053
6054
* Changed trace messages to go through the standard logging
6055
framework, so that they can more easily be redirected by
6056
libraries.
6057
6058
6059
6060
bzr-0.0.6 2005-08-18
6061
--------------------
6062
6063
NEW FEATURES:
6064
6065
* Python plugins, automatically loaded from the directories on
6066
``BZR_PLUGIN_PATH`` or ``~/.bzr.conf/plugins`` by default.
6067
6068
* New 'bzr mkdir' command.
6069
6070
* Commit mesage is fetched from an editor if not given on the
6071
command line; patch from Torsten Marek.
6072
6073
* ``bzr log -m FOO`` displays commits whose message matches regexp
6074
FOO.
6075
6076
* ``bzr add`` with no arguments adds everything under the current directory.
6077
6078
* ``bzr mv`` does move or rename depending on its arguments, like
6079
the Unix command.
6080
6081
* ``bzr missing`` command shows a summary of the differences
6082
between two trees. (Merged from John Arbash-Meinel.)
6083
6084
* An email address for commits to a particular tree can be
6085
specified by putting it into .bzr/email within a branch. (Based
6086
on a patch from Heikki Paajanen.)
6087
6088
6089
ENHANCEMENTS:
6090
6091
* Faster working tree operations.
6092
6093
6094
CHANGES:
6095
6096
* 3rd-party modules shipped with bzr are copied within the bzrlib
6097
python package, so that they can be installed by the setup
6098
script without clashing with anything already existing on the
6099
system. (Contributed by Gustavo Niemeyer.)
6100
6101
* Moved plugins directory to bzrlib/, so that there's a standard
6102
plugin directory which is not only installed with bzr itself but
6103
is also available when using bzr from the development tree.
6104
``BZR_PLUGIN_PATH`` and ``DEFAULT_PLUGIN_PATH`` are then added to the
6105
standard plugins directory.
6106
6107
* When exporting to a tarball with ``bzr export --format tgz``, put
6108
everything under a top directory rather than dumping it into the
6109
current directory. This can be overridden with the ``--root``
6110
option. Patch from William Dodé and John Meinel.
6111
6112
* New ``bzr upgrade`` command to upgrade the format of a branch,
6113
replacing ``bzr check --update``.
6114
6115
* Files within store directories are no longer marked readonly on
6116
disk.
6117
6118
* Changed ``bzr log`` output to a more compact form suggested by
6119
John A Meinel. Old format is available with the ``--long`` or
6120
``-l`` option, patched by William Dodé.
6121
6122
* By default the commit command refuses to record a revision with
6123
no changes unless the ``--unchanged`` option is given.
6124
6125
* The ``--no-plugins``, ``--profile`` and ``--builtin`` command
6126
line options must come before the command name because they
6127
affect what commands are available; all other options must come
6128
after the command name because their interpretation depends on
6129
it.
6130
6131
* ``branch`` and ``clone`` added as aliases for ``branch``.
6132
6133
* Default log format is back to the long format; the compact one
6134
is available with ``--short``.
6135
6136
6137
BUG FIXES:
6138
6139
* Fix bugs in committing only selected files or within a subdirectory.
6140
6141
6142
bzr-0.0.5 2005-06-15
6143
---------------------
6144
6145
CHANGES:
6146
6147
* ``bzr`` with no command now shows help rather than giving an
6148
error. Suggested by Michael Ellerman.
6149
6150
* ``bzr status`` output format changed, because svn-style output
6151
doesn't really match the model of bzr. Now files are grouped by
6152
status and can be shown with their IDs. ``bzr status --all``
6153
shows all versioned files and unknown files but not ignored files.
6154
6155
* ``bzr log`` runs from most-recent to least-recent, the reverse
6156
of the previous order. The previous behaviour can be obtained
6157
with the ``--forward`` option.
6158
6159
* ``bzr inventory`` by default shows only filenames, and also ids
6160
if ``--show-ids`` is given, in which case the id is the second
6161
field.
6162
6163
6164
ENHANCEMENTS:
6165
6166
* New 'bzr whoami --email' option shows only the email component
6167
of the user identification, from Jo Vermeulen.
6168
6169
* New ``bzr ignore PATTERN`` command.
6170
6171
* Nicer error message for broken pipe, interrupt and similar
6172
conditions that don't indicate an internal error.
6173
6174
* Add ``.*.sw[nop] .git .*.tmp *,v`` to default ignore patterns.
6175
6176
* Per-branch locks keyed on ``.bzr/branch-lock``, available in
6177
either read or write mode.
6178
6179
* New option ``bzr log --show-ids`` shows revision and file ids.
6180
6181
* New usage ``bzr log FILENAME`` shows only revisions that
6182
affected that file.
6183
6184
* Changed format for describing changes in ``bzr log -v``.
6185
6186
* New option ``bzr commit --file`` to take a message from a file,
6187
suggested by LarstiQ.
6188
6189
* New syntax ``bzr status [FILE...]`` contributed by Bartosz
6190
Oler. File may be in a branch other than the working directory.
6191
6192
* ``bzr log`` and ``bzr root`` can be given an http URL instead of
6193
a filename.
6194
6195
* Commands can now be defined by external programs or scripts
6196
in a directory on $BZRPATH.
6197
6198
* New "stat cache" avoids reading the contents of files if they
6199
haven't changed since the previous time.
6200
6201
* If the Python interpreter is too old, try to find a better one
6202
or give an error. Based on a patch from Fredrik Lundh.
6203
6204
* New optional parameter ``bzr info [BRANCH]``.
6205
6206
* New form ``bzr commit SELECTED`` to commit only selected files.
6207
6208
* New form ``bzr log -r FROM:TO`` shows changes in selected
6209
range; contributed by John A Meinel.
6210
6211
* New option ``bzr diff --diff-options 'OPTS'`` allows passing
6212
options through to an external GNU diff.
6213
6214
* New option ``bzr add --no-recurse`` to add a directory but not
6215
their contents.
6216
6217
* ``bzr --version`` now shows more information if bzr is being run
6218
from a branch.
6219
6220
6221
BUG FIXES:
6222
6223
* Fixed diff format so that added and removed files will be
6224
handled properly by patch. Fix from Lalo Martins.
6225
6226
* Various fixes for files whose names contain spaces or other
6227
metacharacters.
6228
6229
6230
TESTING:
6231
6232
* Converted black-box test suites from Bourne shell into Python;
6233
now run using ``./testbzr``. Various structural improvements to
6234
the tests.
6235
6236
* testbzr by default runs the version of bzr found in the same
6237
directory as the tests, or the one given as the first parameter.
6238
6239
* testbzr also runs the internal tests, so the only command
6240
required to check is just ``./testbzr``.
6241
6242
* testbzr requires python2.4, but can be used to test bzr running
6243
under a different version.
6244
6245
* Tests added for many other changes in this release.
6246
6247
6248
INTERNAL:
6249
6250
* Included ElementTree library upgraded to 1.2.6 by Fredrik Lundh.
6251
6252
* Refactor command functions into Command objects based on HCT by
6253
Scott James Remnant.
6254
6255
* Better help messages for many commands.
6256
6257
* Expose ``bzrlib.open_tracefile()`` to start the tracefile; until
6258
this is called trace messages are just discarded.
6259
6260
* New internal function ``find_touching_revisions()`` and hidden
6261
command touching-revisions trace the changes to a given file.
6262
6263
* Simpler and faster ``compare_inventories()`` function.
6264
6265
* ``bzrlib.open_tracefile()`` takes a tracefilename parameter.
6266
6267
* New AtomicFile class.
6268
6269
* New developer commands ``added``, ``modified``.
6270
6271
6272
PORTABILITY:
6273
6274
* Cope on Windows on python2.3 by using the weaker random seed.
6275
2.4 is now only recommended.
6276
6277
6278
bzr-0.0.4 2005-04-22
6279
---------------------
6280
6281
ENHANCEMENTS:
6282
6283
* 'bzr diff' optionally takes a list of files to diff. Still a bit
6284
basic. Patch from QuantumG.
6285
6286
* More default ignore patterns.
6287
6288
* New 'bzr log --verbose' shows a list of files changed in the
6289
changeset. Patch from Sebastian Cote.
6290
6291
* Roll over ~/.bzr.log if it gets too large.
6292
6293
* Command abbreviations 'ci', 'st', 'stat', '?' based on a patch
6294
by Jason Diamon.
6295
6296
* New 'bzr help commands' based on a patch from Denys Duchier.
6297
6298
6299
CHANGES:
6300
6301
* User email is determined by looking at $BZREMAIL or ~/.bzr.email
6302
or $EMAIL. All are decoded by the locale preferred encoding.
6303
If none of these are present user@hostname is used. The host's
6304
fully-qualified name is not used because that tends to fail when
6305
there are DNS problems.
6306
6307
* New 'bzr whoami' command instead of username user-email.
6308
6309
6310
BUG FIXES:
6311
6312
* Make commit safe for hardlinked bzr trees.
6313
6314
* Some Unicode/locale fixes.
6315
6316
* Partial workaround for ``difflib.unified_diff`` not handling
6317
trailing newlines properly.
6318
6319
6320
INTERNAL:
6321
6322
* Allow docstrings for help to be in PEP0257 format. Patch from
6323
Matt Brubeck.
6324
6325
* More tests in test.sh.
6326
6327
* Write profile data to a temporary file not into working
6328
directory and delete it when done.
6329
6330
* Smaller .bzr.log with process ids.
6331
6332
6333
PORTABILITY:
6334
6335
* Fix opening of ~/.bzr.log on Windows. Patch from Andrew
6336
Bennetts.
6337
6338
* Some improvements in handling paths on Windows, based on a patch
6339
from QuantumG.

bzr-0.0.3 2005-04-06
6343

6346
6347
* New "directories" internal command lists versioned directories
6348
in the tree.
6349
6350

6351
6352
* New "rename" command to rename one file to a different name
6353
and/or directory.
6354
6355
* New "move" command to move one or more files into a different
6356
directory.
6357
6358
* New "renames" command lists files renamed since base revision.
6359
6360
* New cat command contributed by janmar.
6361
6362
CHANGES:
6363
6364
* .bzr.log is placed in $HOME (not pwd) and is always written in
6365
UTF-8. (Probably not a completely good long-term solution, but
6366
will do for now.)
6367
6368
PORTABILITY:
6369
6370
* Workaround for difflib bug in Python 2.3 that causes an
6371
exception when comparing empty files. Reported by Erik Toubro
6372
Nielsen.
6373
6374
INTERNAL:
6375
6376
* Refactored inventory storage to insert a root entry at the top.
6377
6378
TESTING:
6379
6380

6392
-----------------------------------
6393
6394
ENHANCEMENTS:
6395
6396
* Default ignore list extended (see bzrlib/__init__.py).
6397
6398
* Patterns in .bzrignore are now added to the default ignore list,
6399
rather than replacing it.
6400
6401
* Ignore list isn't reread for every file.
6402
6403
* More help topics.
6404
6405
* Reinstate the 'bzr check' command to check invariants of the
6406
branch.
6407
6408
* New 'ignored' command lists which files are ignored and why;
6409
'deleted' lists files deleted in the current working tree.
6410
6411
* Performance improvements.
6412
6413
* New global --profile option.
6414
6415
* Ignore patterns like './config.h' now correctly match files in
6416
the root directory only.
6417
6418
6419
bzr-0.0.1 2005-03-26
6420

6421
6422
ENHANCEMENTS:
6423
6424
* More information from info command.
6425
6426
* Can now say "bzr help COMMAND" for more detailed help.
6427
6428
* Less file flushing and faster performance when writing logs and
6429
committing to stores.
6430
6431
* More useful verbose output from some commands.
6432
6433
BUG FIXES:
6434
6435
* Fix inverted display of 'R' and 'M' during 'commit -v'.
6436
6437
PORTABILITY:
6438
6439
* Include a subset of ElementTree-1.2.20040618 to make
6440
installation easier.
6441
6442
* Fix time.localtime call to work with Python 2.3 (the minimum
6443
supported).
6444

6446
bzr-0.0.0.69 2005-03-22
6447
------------------------
6448
6449
ENHANCEMENTS:
6450
6451
* First public release.
