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
* Added *Using stacked branches* to the User Guide.
108
(Ian Clatworthy)
109
110
* Updated developer documentation.
111
(Martin Pool)
112
113
TESTING:
114
115
* ``-Dmemory`` will cause /proc/PID/status to be catted before bzr
116
exits, allowing low-key analysis of peak memory use. (Robert Collins)
117
118
* ``TestCaseWithTransport.make_branch_and_tree`` tries harder to return
119
a tree with a ``branch`` attribute of the right format. This was
120
preventing some ``RemoteBranch`` tests from actually running with
121
``RemoteBranch`` instances. (Andrew Bennetts)
122
123
API CHANGES:
124
125
* Removed ``Repository.text_store``, ``control_store``, etc. Instead,
126
there are new attributes ``texts, inventories, revisions,
127
signatures``, each of which is a ``VersionedFiles``. See the
128
Repository docstring for more details.
129
(Robert Collins)
130
131
* ``Branch.pull`` now accepts an ``_override_hook_target`` optional
132
parameter. If you have a subclass of ``Branch`` that overrides
133
``pull`` then you should add this parameter. (Andrew Bennetts)
134
135
* ``bzrlib.check.check()`` has been deprecated in favour of the more
136
aptly-named ``bzrlib.check.check_branch()``.
137
(Daniel Watkins)
138
139
* ``Tree.print_file`` and ``Repository.print_file`` are deprecated.
140
These methods are bad APIs because they write directly to sys.stdout.
141
bzrlib does not use them internally, and there are no direct tests
142
for them. (Alexander Belchenko)
143
144
INTERNALS:
145
146
* ``cat`` command no longer uses ``Tree.print_file()`` internally.
147
(Alexander Belchenko)
148
149
* New class method ``BzrDir.open_containing_tree_branch_or_repository``
150
which eases the discovery of the tree, the branch and the repository
151
containing a given location.
152
(Daniel Watkins)
153
154
* New ``versionedfile.KeyMapper`` interface to abstract out the access to
155
underlying .knit/.kndx etc files in repositories with partitioned
156
storage. (Robert Collins)
157
158
* Obsolete developer-use command ``weave-join`` has been removed.
159
(Robert Collins)
160
161
* ``RemoteToOtherFetcher`` and ``get_data_stream_for_search`` removed,
162
to support new ``VersionedFiles`` layering.
163
(Robert Collins)
164
165
166
bzr 1.6beta2 2008-06-10
167
-----------------------
168
169
This release contains further progress towards our 1.6 goals of shallow
170
repositories, and contains a fix for some user-affecting bugs in the
171
repository layer. Building working trees during checkout and branch is
172
now faster.
173
174
BUG FIXES:
175
176
* Avoid KnitCorrupt error extracting inventories from some repositories.
177
(The data is not corrupt; an internal check is detecting a problem
178
reading from the repository.)
179
(Martin Pool, Andrew Bennetts, Robert Collins, #234748)
180
181
* ``bzr status`` was breaking if you merged the same revision twice.
182
(John Arbash Meinel, #235407)
183
184
* Fix infinite loop consuming 100% CPU when a connection is lost while
185
reading a response body via the smart protocol v1 or v2.
186
(Andrew Bennetts)
187
188
* Inserting a bundle which changes the contents of a file with no trailing
189
end of line, causing a knit snapshot in a 'knits' repository will no longer
190
cause KnitCorrupt. (Robert Collins)
191
192
* ``RemoteBranch.pull`` needs to return the ``self._real_branch``'s
193
pull result. It was instead just returning None, which breaks ``bzr
194
pull``. (John Arbash Meinel, #238149)
195
196
* Sanitize branch nick before using it as an attachment filename in
197
``bzr send``. (Lukáš Lalinský, #210218)
198
199
* Squash ``inv_entry.symlink_target`` to a plain string when
200
generating DirState details. This prevents from getting a
201
``UnicodeError`` when you have symlinks and non-ascii filenames.
202
(John Arbash Meinel, #135320)
203
204
IMPROVEMENTS:
205
206
* Added the 'alias' command to set/unset and display aliases. (Tim Penhey)
207
208
* ``added``, ``modified``, and ``unknowns`` behaviour made consistent (all three
209
now quote paths where required). Added ``--null`` option to ``added`` and
210
``modified`` (for null-separated unknowns, use ``ls --unknown --null``)
211
(Adrian Wilkins)
212
213
* Faster branching (1.09x) and lightweight checkouts (1.06x) on large trees.
214
(Ian Clatworthy, Aaron Bentley)
215
216
DOCUMENTATION:
217
218
* Added *Bazaar Zen* section to the User Guide. (Ian Clatworthy)
219
220
TESTING:
221
222
* Fix the test HTTPServer to be isolated from chdir calls made while it is
223
running, allowing it to be used in blackbox tests. (Robert Collins)
224
225
API CHANGES:
226
227
* ``WorkingTree.set_parent_(ids/trees)`` will now filter out revisions
228
which are in the ancestry of other revisions. So if you merge the same
229
tree twice, or merge an ancestor of an existing merge, it will only
230
record the newest. (If you merge a descendent, it will replace its
231
ancestor). (John Arbash Meinel, #235407)
232
233
* ``RepositoryPolicy.__init__`` now requires stack_on and stack_on_pwd,
234
through the derived classes do not. (Aaron Bentley)
235
236
INTERNALS:
237
238
* ``bzrlib.bzrdir.BzrDir.sprout`` now accepts ``stacked`` to control
239
creating stacked branches. (Robert Collins)
240
241
* Knit record serialisation is now stricter on what it will accept, to
242
guard against potential internal bugs, or broken input. (Robert Collins)
243
244
245
bzr 1.6beta1 2008-06-02
246
-----------------------
247
248
249
Commands that work on the revision history such as push, pull, missing,
250
uncommit and log are now substantially faster. This release adds a
251
translation of some of the user documentation into Spanish. (Contributions of
252
other translations would be very welcome.) Bazaar 1.6beta1 adds a new network
253
protocol which is used by default and which allows for more efficient transfers
254
and future extensions.
255
256
257
NOTES WHEN UPGRADING:
258
259
* There is a new version of the network protocol used for bzr://, bzr+ssh://
260
and bzr+http:// connections. This will allow more efficient requests and
261
responses, and more graceful fallback when a server is too old to
262
recognise a request from a more recent client. Bazaar 1.6 will
263
interoperate with 0.16 and later versions, but servers should be upgraded
264
when possible. Bazaar 1.6 no longer interoperates with 0.15 and earlier via
265
these protocols. Use alternatives like SFTP or upgrade those servers.
266
(Andrew Bennetts, #83935)
267
268
CHANGES:
269
270
* Deprecation warnings will not be suppressed when running ``bzr selftest``
271
so that developers can see if their code is using deprecated functions.
272
(John Arbash Meinel)
273
274
FEATURES:
275
276
* Adding ``-Derror`` will now display a traceback when a plugin fails to
277
load. (James Westby)
278
279
IMPROVEMENTS:
280
281
* ``bzr branch/push/pull -r XXX`` now have a helper function for finding
282
the revno of the new revision (``Graph.find_distance_to_null``). This
283
should make something like ``bzr branch -r -100`` in a shared, no-trees
284
repository much snappier. (John Arbash Meinel)
285
286
* ``bzr log --short -r X..Y`` no longer needs to access the full revision
287
history. This makes it noticeably faster when logging the last few
288
revisions. (John Arbash Meinel)
289
290
* ``bzr ls`` now accepts ``-V`` as an alias for ``--versioned``.
291
(Jerad Cramp, #165086)
292
293
* ``bzr missing`` uses the new ``Graph.find_unique_ancestors`` and
294
``Graph.find_differences`` to determine missing revisions without having
295
to search the whole ancestry. (John Arbash Meinel, #174625)
296
297
* ``bzr uncommit`` now uses partial history access, rather than always
298
extracting the full revision history for a branch. This makes it
299
resolve the appropriate revisions much faster (in testing it drops
300
uncommit from 1.5s => 0.4s). It also means ``bzr log --short`` is one
301
step closer to not using full revision history.
302
(John Arbash Meinel, #172649)
303
304
BUGFIXES:
305
306
* ``bzr merge --lca`` should handle when two revisions have no common
307
ancestor other than NULL_REVISION. (John Arbash Meinel, #235715)
308
309
* ``bzr status`` was breaking if you merged the same revision twice.
310
(John Arbash Meinel, #235407)
311
312
* ``bzr push`` with both ``--overwrite`` and ``-r NNN`` options no longer
313
fails. (Andrew Bennetts, #234229)
314
315
* Correctly track the base URL of a smart medium when using bzr+http://
316
URLs, which was causing spurious "No repository present" errors with
317
branches in shared repositories accessed over bzr+http.
318
(Andrew Bennetts, #230550)
319
320
* Define ``_remote_is_at_least_1_2`` on ``SmartClientMedium`` so that all
321
implementations have the attribute. Fixes 'PyCurlTransport' object has no
322
attribute '_remote_is_at_least_1_2' attribute errors.
323
(Andrew Bennetts, #220806)
324
325
* Failure to delete an obsolete pack file should just give a warning
326
message, not a fatal error. It may for example fail if the file is still
327
in use by another process.
328
(Martin Pool)
329
330
* Fix MemoryError during large fetches over HTTP by limiting the amount of
331
data we try to read per ``recv`` call. The problem was observed with
332
Windows and a proxy, but might affect other environments as well.
333
(Eric Holmberg, #215426)
334
335
* Handle old merge directives correctly in Merger.from_mergeable. Stricter
336
get_parent_map requirements exposed a latent bug here. (Aaron Bentley)
337
338
* Issue a warning and ignore passwords declared in authentication.conf when
339
used for an ssh scheme (sftp or bzr+ssh).
340
(Vincent Ladeuil, #203186)
341
342
* Make both http implementations raise appropriate exceptions on 403
343
Forbidden when POSTing smart requests.
344
(Vincent Ladeuil, #230223)
345
346
* Properly *title* header names in http requests instead of capitalizing
347
them.
348
(Vincent Ladeuil, #229076)
349
350
* The "Unable to obtain lock" error message now also suggests using
351
``bzr break-lock`` to fix it. (Martin Albisetti, #139202)
352
353
* Treat an encoding of '' as ascii; this can happen when bzr is run
354
under vim on Mac OS X.
355
(Neil Martinsen-Burrell)
356
357
* ``VersionedFile.make_mpdiffs()`` was raising an exception that wasn't in
358
scope. (Daniel Fischer #235687)
359
360
DOCUMENTATION:
361
362
* Added directory structure and started translation of docs in spanish.
363
(Martin Albisetti, Lucio Albenga)
364
365
* Incorporate feedback from Jelmer Vernooij and Neil Martinsen-Burrell
366
on the plugin and integration chapters of the User Guide.
367
(Ian Clatworthy)
368
369
* More Bazaar developer documentation about packaging and release process,
370
and about use of Python reprs.
371
(Martin Pool, Martin Albisetti)
372
373
* Updated Tortise strategy document. (Mark Hammond)
374
375
TESTING:
376
377
* ``bzrlib.tests.adapt_tests`` was broken and unused - it has been fixed.
378
(Robert Collins)
379
380
* Fix the test HTTPServer to be isolated from chdir calls made while it is
381
running, allowing it to be used in blackbox tests. (Robert Collins)
382
383
* New helper function for splitting test suites
384
``split_suite_by_condition``. (Robert Collins)
385
386
INTERNALS:
387
388
* ``Branch.missing_revisions`` has been deprecated. Similar functionality
389
can be obtained using ``bzrlib.missing.find_unmerged``. The api was
390
fairly broken, and the function was unused, so we are getting rid of it.
391
(John Arbash Meinel)
392
393
API CHANGES:
394
395
* ``Branch.abspath`` is deprecated; use the Tree or Transport
396
instead. (Martin Pool)
397
398
* ``Branch.update_revisions`` now takes an optional ``Graph``
399
object. This can be used by ``update_revisions`` when it is
400
checking ancestry, and allows callers to prefer request to go to a
401
local branch. (John Arbash Meinel)
402
403
* Branch, Repository, Tree and BzrDir should expose a Transport as an
404
attribute if they have one, rather than having it indirectly accessible
405
as ``.control_files._transport``. This doesn't add a requirement
406
to support a Transport in cases where it was not needed before;
407
it just simplifies the way it is reached. (Martin Pool)
408
409
* ``bzr missing --mine-only`` will return status code 0 if you have no
410
new revisions, but the remote does. Similarly for ``--theirs-only``.
411
The new code only checks one side, so it doesn't know if the other
412
side has changes. This seems more accurate with the request anyway.
413
It also changes the output to print '[This|Other] branch is up to
414
date.' rather than displaying nothing. (John Arbash Meinel)
415
416
* ``LockableFiles.put_utf8``, ``put_bytes`` and ``controlfilename``
417
are now deprecated in favor of using Transport operations.
418
(Martin Pool)
419
420
* Many methods on ``VersionedFile``, ``Repository`` and in
421
``bzrlib.revision`` deprecated before bzrlib 1.5 have been removed.
422
(Robert Collins)
423
424
* ``RevisionSpec.wants_revision_history`` can be set to False for a given
425
``RevisionSpec``. This will disable the existing behavior of passing in
426
the full revision history to ``self._match_on``. Useful for specs that
427
don't actually need access to the full history. (John Arbash Meinel)
428
429
* The constructors of ``SmartClientMedium`` and its subclasses now require a
430
``base`` parameter. ``SmartClientMedium`` implementations now also need
431
to provide a ``remote_path_from_transport`` method. (Andrew Bennetts)
432
433
* The default permissions for creating new files and directories
434
should now be obtained from ``BzrDir._get_file_mode()`` and
435
``_get_dir_mode()``, rather than from LockableFiles. The ``_set_file_mode``
436
and ``_set_dir_mode`` variables on LockableFiles which were advertised
437
as a way for plugins to control this are no longer consulted.
438
(Martin Pool)
439
440
* ``VersionedFile.join`` is deprecated. This method required local
441
instances of both versioned file objects and was thus hostile to being
442
used for streaming from a smart server. The new get_record_stream and
443
insert_record_stream are meant to efficiently replace this method.
444
(Robert Collins)
445
446
* ``WorkingTree.set_parent_(ids/trees)`` will now filter out revisions
447
which are in the ancestry of other revisions. So if you merge the same
448
tree twice, or merge an ancestor of an existing merge, it will only
449
record the newest. (If you merge a descendent, it will replace its
450
ancestor). (John Arbash Meinel, #235407)
451
452
* ``WorkingTreeFormat2.stub_initialize_remote`` is now private.

457
------------------
458
459
This release of Bazaar includes several updates to the documentation, and fixes
460
to prepare for making rich root support the default format. Many bugs have been
461
squashed, including fixes to log, bzr+ssh inter-operation with older servers.
462
463
CHANGES:
464
465
* Suppress deprecation warnings when bzrlib is a 'final' release. This way
466
users of packaged software won't be bothered with DeprecationWarnings,
467
but developers and testers will still see them. (John Arbash Meinel)
468
469
DOCUMENTATION:
470
471
* Incorporate feedback from Jelmer Vernooij and Neil Martinsen-Burrell
472
on the plugin and integration chapters of the User Guide.

477
---------------------
478
479
NOTES WHEN UPGRADING:
480
481
CHANGES:
482
483
* Broader support of GNU Emacs mail clients. Set
484
``mail_client=emacsclient`` in your bazaar.conf and ``send`` will pop the
485
bundle in a mail buffer according to the value of ``mail-user-agent``
486
variable. (Xavier Maillard)
487
488
FEATURES:
489
490
IMPROVEMENTS:
491
492
* Diff now handles revision specs like "branch:" and "submit:" more
493
efficiently. (Aaron Bentley, #202928)
494
495
* More friendly error given when attempt to start the smart server
496
on an address already in use. (Andrea Corbellini, #200575)
497
498
* Pull completes much faster when there is nothing to pull.
499
(Aaron Bentley)
500
501
BUGFIXES:
502
503
* Authentication.conf can define sections without password.
504
(Vincent Ladeuil, #199440)
505
506
* Avoid muttering every time a child update does not cause a progress bar
507
update. (John Arbash Meinel, #213771)
508
509
* ``Branch.reconcile()`` is now implemented. This allows ``bzr reconcile``
510
to fix when a Branch has a non-canonical mainline history. ``bzr check``
511
also detects this condition. (John Arbash Meinel, #177855)
512
513
* ``bzr log -r ..X bzr://`` was failing, because it was getting a request
514
for ``revision_id=None`` which was not a string.
515
(John Arbash Meinel, #211661)
516
517
* ``bzr commit`` now works with Microsoft's FTP service.
518
(Andreas Deininger)
519
520
* Catch definitions outside sections in authentication.conf.
521
(Vincent Ladeuil, #217650)
522
523
* Conversion from non-rich-root to rich-root(-pack) updates inventory
524
sha1s, even when bundles are used. (Aaron Bentley, #181391)
525
526
* Conversion from non-rich-root to rich-root(-pack) works correctly even
527
though search keys are not topologically sorted. (Aaron Bentley)
528
529
* Conversion from non-rich-root to rich-root(-pack) works even when a
530
parent revision has a different root id. (Aaron Bentley, #177874)
531
532
* Disable strace testing until strace is fixed (see bug #103133) and emit a
533
warning when selftest ends to remind us of leaking tests.
534
(Vincent Ladeuil, #226769)
535
536
* Fetching all revisions from a repository does not cause pack collisions.
537
(Robert Collins, Aaron Bentley, #212908)
538
539
* Fix error about "attempt to add line-delta in non-delta knit".
540
(Andrew Bennetts, #217701)
541
542
* Pushing a branch in "dirstate" format (Branch5) over bzr+ssh would break
543
if the remote server was < version 1.2. This was due to a bug in the
544
RemoteRepository.get_parent_map() fallback code.
545
(John Arbash Meinel, #214894)
546
547
* Remove leftover code in ``bzr_branch`` that inappropriately creates
548
a ``branch-name`` file in the branch control directory.
549
(Martin Pool)
550
551
* Set SO_REUSEADDR on server sockets of ``bzr serve`` to avoid problems
552
rebinding the socket when starting the server a second time.
553
(John Arbash Meinel, Martin Pool, #164288)
554
555
* Severe performance degradation in fetching from knit repositories to
556
knits and packs due to parsing the entire revisions.kndx on every graph
557
walk iteration fixed by using the Repository.get_graph API. There was
558
another regression in knit => knit fetching which re-read the index for
559
every revision each side had in common.
560
(Robert Collins, John Arbash Meinel)
561
562
* When logging the changes to a particular file, there was a bug if there
563
were ghosts in the revision ancestry. (John Arbash Meinel, #209948)
564
565
* xs4all's ftp server returns a temporary error when trying to list an
566
empty directory, rather than returning an empty list. Adding a
567
workaround so that we don't get spurious failures.
568
(John Arbash Meinel, #215522)
569
570
DOCUMENTATION:
571
572
* Expanded the User Guide to include new chapters on popular plugins and
573
integrating Bazaar into your environment. The *Best practices* chapter
574
was renamed to *Miscellaneous topics* as suggested by community
575
feedback as well. (Ian Clatworthy)
576
577
* Document outlining strategies for TortoiseBzr. (Mark Hammond)
578
579
* Improved the documentation on hooks. (Ian Clatworthy)
580
581
* Update authentication docs regarding ssh agents.
582
(Vincent Ladeuil, #183705)
583
584
TESTING:
585
586
* Add ``thread_name_suffix`` parameter to SmartTCPServer_for_testing, to
587
make it easy to identify which test spawned a thread with an unhandled
588
exception. (Andrew Bennetts)
589
590
* New ``--debugflag``/``-E`` option to ``bzr selftest`` for setting
591
options for debugging tests, these are complementary to the the -D
592
options. The ``-Dselftest_debug`` global option has been replaced by the
593
``-E=allow_debug`` option for selftest. (Andrew Bennetts)
594
595
* Parameterised test ids are preserved correctly to aid diagnosis of test
596
failures. (Robert Collins, Andrew Bennetts)
597
598
* selftest now accepts --starting-with <id> to load only the tests whose id
599
starts with the one specified. This greatly speeds up running the test
600
suite on a limited set of tests and can be used to run the tests for a
601
single module, a single class or even a single test. (Vincent Ladeuil)
602
603
* The test suite modules have been modified to define load_tests() instead
604
of test_suite(). That speeds up selective loading (via --load-list)
605
significantly and provides many examples on how to migrate (grep for
606
load_tests). (Vincent Ladeuil)
607
608
INTERNALS:
609
610
* ``Hooks.install_hook`` is now deprecated in favour of
611
``Hooks.install_named_hook`` which adds a required ``name`` parameter, to
612
avoid having to call ``Hooks.name_hook``. (Daniel Watkins)
613
614
* Implement xml8 serializer. (Aaron Bentley)
615
616
* New form ``@deprecated_method(deprecated_in(1, 5, 0))`` for making
617
deprecation wrappers. (Martin Pool)
618
619
* ``Repository.revision_parents`` is now deprecated in favour of
620
``Repository.get_parent_map([revid])[revid]``. (Jelmer Vernooij)
621
622
* The Python ``assert`` statement is no longer used in Bazaar source, and
623
a test checks this. (Martin Pool)
624
625
API CHANGES:
626
627
* ``bzrlib.status.show_pending_merges`` requires the repository to be
628
locked by the caller. Callers should have been doing it anyway, but it
629
will now raise an exception if they do not. (John Arbash Meinel)
630
631
* Repository.get_data_stream, Repository.get_data_stream_for_search(),
632
Repository.get_deltas_for_revsions(), Repository.revision_trees(),
633
Repository.item_keys_introduced_by() no longer take read locks.
634
(Aaron Bentley)
635
636
* ``LockableFiles.get_utf8`` and ``.get`` are deprecated, as a start
637
towards removing LockableFiles and ``.control_files`` entirely.
638
(Martin Pool)
639
640
* Methods deprecated prior to 1.1 have been removed.

bzr 1.4 2008-04-28
645
------------------
646
647
This release of Bazaar includes handy improvements to the speed of log and
648
status, new options for several commands, improved documentation, and better
649
hooks, including initial code for server-side hooks. A number of bugs have
650
been fixed, particularly in interoperability between different formats or
651
different releases of Bazaar over there network. There's been substantial
652
internal work in both the repository and network code to enable new features
653
and faster performance.
654
655
BUG FIXES:
656
657
* Pushing a branch in "dirstate" format (Branch5) over bzr+ssh would break
658
if the remote server was < version 1.2. This was due to a bug in the
659
RemoteRepository.get_parent_map() fallback code.

bzr 1.4rc2 2008-04-21
664
---------------------
665
666
BUG FIXES:
667
668
* ``bzr log -r ..X bzr://`` was failing, because it was getting a request
669
for ``revision_id=None`` which was not a string.
670
(John Arbash Meinel, #211661)
671
672
* Fixed a bug in handling ghost revisions when logging changes in a
673
particular file. (John Arbash Meinel, #209948)
674
675
* Fix error about "attempt to add line-delta in non-delta knit".
676
(Andrew Bennetts, #205156)
677
678
* Fixed performance degradation in fetching from knit repositories to
679
knits and packs due to parsing the entire revisions.kndx on every graph
680
walk iteration fixed by using the Repository.get_graph API. There was
681
another regression in knit => knit fetching which re-read the index for

bzr 1.4rc1 2008-04-11
687
---------------------
688
689
CHANGES:
690
691
* bzr main script cannot be imported (Benjamin Peterson)
692
693
* On Linux bzr additionally looks for plugins in arch-independent site
694
directory. (Toshio Kuratomi)
695
696
* The ``set_rh`` branch hook is now deprecated. Please migrate
697
any plugins using this hook to use an alternative, e.g.
698
``post_change_branch_tip``. (Ian Clatworthy)
699
700
* When a plugin cannot be loaded as the file path is not a valid
701
python module name bzr will now strip a ``bzr_`` prefix from the
702
front of the suggested name, as many plugins (e.g. bzr-svn)
703
want to be installed without this prefix. It is a common mistake
704
to have a folder named "bzr-svn" for that plugin, especially
705
as this is what bzr branch lp:bzr-svn will give you. (James Westby,
706
Andrew Cowie)
707
708
* UniqueIntegerBugTracker now appends bug-ids instead of joining
709
them to the base URL. Plugins that register bug trackers may
710
need a trailing / added to the base URL if one is not already there.
711
(James Wesby, Andrew Cowie)
712
713
FEATURES:
714
715
* Added start_commit hook for mutable trees. (Jelmer Vernooij, #186422)
716
717
* ``status`` now accepts ``--no-pending`` to show the status without
718
listing pending merges, which speeds up the command a lot on large
719
histories. (James Westby, #202830)
720
721
* New ``post_change_branch_tip`` hook that is called after the
722
branch tip is moved but while the branch is still write-locked.
723
See the User Reference for signature details.
724
(Ian Clatworthy, James Henstridge)
725
726
* Reconfigure can convert a branch to be standalone or to use a shared
727
repository. (Aaron Bentley)
728
729
IMPROVEMENTS:
730
731
* The smart protocol now has support for setting branches' revision info
732
directly. This should make operations like push slightly faster, and is a
733
step towards server-side hooks. The new request method name is
734
``Branch.set_last_revision_info``. (Andrew Bennetts)
735
736
* ``bzr commit --fixes`` now recognises "gnome" as a tag by default.
737
(James Westby, Andrew Cowie)
738
739
* ``bzr switch`` will attempt to find branches to switch to relative to the
740
current branch. E.g. ``bzr switch branchname`` will look for
741
``current_branch/../branchname``. (Robert Collins, Jelmer Vernooij,
742
Wouter van Heyst)
743
744
* Diff is now more specific about execute-bit changes it describes
745
(Chad Miller)
746
747
* Fetching data over HTTP is a bit faster when urllib is used. This is done
748
by forcing it to recv 64k at a time when reading lines in HTTP headers,
749
rather than just 1 byte at a time. (Andrew Bennetts)
750
751
* Log --short and --line are much faster when -r is not specified.
752
(Aaron Bentley)
753
754
* Merge is faster. We no longer check a file's existence unnecessarily
755
when merging the execute bit. (Aaron Bentley)
756
757
* ``bzr status`` on an explicit list of files no longer shows pending
758
merges, making it much faster on large trees. (John Arbash Meinel)
759
760
* The launchpad directory service now warns the user if they have not set
761
their launchpad login and are trying to resolve a URL using it, just
762
in case they want to do a write operation with it. (James Westby)
763
764
* The smart protocol client is slightly faster, because it now only queries
765
the server for the protocol version once per connection. Also, the HTTP
766
transport will now automatically probe for and use a smart server if
767
one is present. You can use the new ``nosmart+`` transport decorator
768
to get the old behaviour. (Andrew Bennetts)
769
770
* The ``version`` command takes a ``--short`` option to print just the
771
version number, for easier use in scripts. (Martin Pool)
772
773
* Various operations with revision specs and commands that calculate
774
revnos and revision ids are faster. (John A. Meinel, Aaron Bentley)
775
776
BUGFIXES:
777
778
* Add ``root_client_path`` parameter to SmartWSGIApp and
779
SmartServerRequest. This makes it possible to publish filesystem
780
locations that don't exactly match URL paths. SmartServerRequest
781
subclasses should use the new ``translate_client_path`` and
782
``transport_from_client_path`` methods when dealing with paths received
783
from a client to take this into account. (Andrew Bennetts, #124089)
784
785
* ``bzr mv a b`` can be now used also to rename previously renamed
786
directories, not only files. (Lukáš Lalinský, #107967)
787
788
* ``bzr uncommit --local`` can now remove revisions from the local
789
branch to be symmetric with ``bzr commit --local``.
790
(John Arbash Meinel, #93412)
791
792
* Don't ask for a password if there is no real terminal.
793
(Alexander Belchenko, #69851)
794
795
* Fix a bug causing a ValueError crash in ``parse_line_delta_iter`` when
796
fetching revisions from a knit to pack repository or vice versa using
797
bzr:// (including over http or ssh).
798
(#208418, Andrew Bennetts, Martin Pool, Robert Collins)
799
800
* Fixed ``_get_line`` in ``bzrlib.smart.medium``, which was buggy. Also
801
fixed ``_get_bytes`` in the same module to use the push back buffer.
802
These bugs had no known impact in normal use, but were problematic for
803
developers working on the code, and were likely to cause real bugs sooner
804
or later. (Andrew Bennetts)
805
806
* Implement handling of basename parameter for DefaultMail. (James Westby)
807
808
* Incompatibility with Paramiko versions newer than 1.7.2 was fixed.
809
(Andrew Bennetts, #213425)
810
811
* Launchpad locations (lp: URLs) can be pulled. (Aaron Bentley, #181945)
812
813
* Merges that add files to deleted root directories complete. They
814
do create conflicts. (Aaron Bentley, #210092)
815
816
* vsftp's return ``550 RNFR command failed.`` supported.
817
(Marcus Trautwig, #129786)
818
819
DOCUMENTATION:
820
821
* Improved documentation on send/merge relationship. (Peter Schuller)
822
823
* Minor fixes to the User Guide. (Matthew Fuller)
824
825
* Reduced the evangelism in the User Guide. (Ian Clatworthy)
826
827
* Added Integrating with Bazaar document for developers (Martin Albisetti)
828
829
API BREAKS:
830
831
* Attempting to pull data from a ghost aware repository (e.g. knits) into a
832
non-ghost aware repository such as weaves will now fail if there are
833
ghosts. (Robert Collins)
834
835
* ``KnitVersionedFile`` no longer accepts an ``access_mode`` parameter, and
836
now requires the ``index`` and ``access_method`` parameters to be
837
supplied. A compatible shim has been kept in the new function
838
``knit.make_file_knit``. (Robert Collins)
839
840
* Log formatters must now provide log_revision instead of show and
841
show_merge_revno methods. The latter had been deprecated since the 0.17
842
release. (James Westby)
843
844
* ``LoopbackSFTP`` is now called ``SocketAsChannelAdapter``.
845
(Andrew Bennetts)
846
847
* ``osutils.backup_file`` is removed. (Alexander Belchenko)
848
849
* ``Repository.get_revision_graph`` is deprecated, with no replacement
850
method. The method was size(history) and not desirable. (Robert Collins)
851
852
* ``revision.revision_graph`` is deprecated, with no replacement function.
853
The function was size(history) and not desirable. (Robert Collins)
854
855
* ``Transport.get_shared_medium`` is deprecated. Use
856
``Transport.get_smart_medium`` instead. (Andrew Bennetts)
857
858
* ``VersionedFile`` factories now accept a get_scope parameter rather
859
than using a call to ``transaction_finished``, allowing the removal of
860
the fixed list of versioned files per repository. (Robert Collins)
861
862
* ``VersionedFile.annotate_iter`` is deprecated. While in principle this
863
allowed lower memory use, all users of annotations wanted full file
864
annotations, and there is no storage format suitable for incremental
865
line-by-line annotation. (Robert Collins)
866
867
* ``VersionedFile.clone_text`` is deprecated. This performance optimisation
868
is no longer used - reading the content of a file that is undergoing a
869
file level merge to identical state on two branches is rare enough, and
870
not expensive enough to special case. (Robert Collins)
871
872
* ``VersionedFile.clear_cache`` and ``enable_cache`` are deprecated.
873
These methods added significant complexity to the ``VersionedFile``
874
implementation, but were only used for optimising fetches from knits -
875
which can be done from outside the knit layer, or via a caching
876
decorator. As knits are not the default format, the complexity is no
877
longer worth paying. (Robert Collins)
878
879
* ``VersionedFile.create_empty`` is removed. This method presupposed a
880
sensible mapping to a transport for individual files, but pack backed
881
versioned files have no such mapping. (Robert Collins)
882
883
* ``VersionedFile.get_graph`` is deprecated, with no replacement method.
884
The method was size(history) and not desirable. (Robert Collins)
885
886
* ``VersionedFile.get_graph_with_ghosts`` is deprecated, with no
887
replacement method. The method was size(history) and not desirable.
888
(Robert Collins)
889
890
* ``VersionedFile.get_parents`` is deprecated, please use
891
``VersionedFile.get_parent_map``. (Robert Collins)
892
893
* ``VersionedFile.get_sha1`` is deprecated, please use
894
``VersionedFile.get_sha1s``. (Robert Collins)
895
896
* ``VersionedFile.has_ghost`` is now deprecated, as it is both expensive
897
and unused outside of a single test. (Robert Collins)
898
899
* ``VersionedFile.iter_parents`` is now deprecated in favour of
900
``get_parent_map`` which can be used to instantiate a Graph on a
901
VersionedFile. (Robert Collins)
902
903
* ``VersionedFileStore`` no longer uses the transaction parameter given
904
to most methods; amongst other things this means that the
905
get_weave_or_empty method no longer guarantees errors on a missing weave
906
in a readonly transaction, and no longer caches versioned file instances
907
which reduces memory pressure (but requires more careful management by
908
callers to preserve performance). (Robert Collins)
909
910
TESTING:
911
912
* New -Dselftest_debug flag disables clearing of the debug flags during
913
tests. This is useful if you want to use e.g. -Dhpss to help debug a
914
failing test. Be aware that using this feature is likely to cause
915
spurious test failures if used with the full suite. (Andrew Bennetts)
916
917
* selftest --load-list now uses a new more agressive test loader that will
918
avoid loading unneeded modules and building their tests. Plugins can use
919
this new loader by defining a load_tests function instead of a test_suite
920
function. (a forthcoming patch will provide many examples on how to
921
implement this).
922
(Vincent Ladeuil)
923
924
* selftest --load-list now does some sanity checks regarding duplicate test
925
IDs and tests present in the list but not found in the actual test suite.
926
(Vincent Ladeuil)
927
928
* Slightly more concise format for the selftest progress bar, so there's
929
more space to show the test name. (Martin Pool) ::
930
931
[2500/10884, 1fail, 3miss in 1m29s] test_revisionnamespaces.TestRev
932
933
* The test suite takes much less memory to run, and is a bit faster. This
934
is done by clearing most attributes of TestCases after running them, if
935
they succeeded. (Andrew Bennetts)
936
937
INTERNALS:
938
939
* Added ``_build_client_protocol`` to ``_SmartClient``. (Andrew Bennetts)
940
941
* Added basic infrastructure for automatic plugin suggestion.
942
(Martin Albisetti)
943
944
* If a ``LockableFiles`` object is not explicitly unlocked (for example
945
because of a missing ``try/finally`` block, it will give a warning but
946
not automatically unlock itself. (Previously they did.) This
947
sometimes caused knock-on errors if for example the network connection
948
had already failed, and should not be relied upon by code.
949
(Martin Pool, #109520)
950
951
* ``make dist`` target to build a release tarball, and also
952
``check-dist-tarball`` and ``dist-upload-escudero``. (Martin Pool)
953
954
* The ``read_response_tuple`` method of ``SmartClientRequestProtocol*``
955
classes will now raise ``UnknownSmartMethod`` when appropriate, so that
956
callers don't need to try distinguish unknown request errors from other
957
errors. (Andrew Bennetts)
958
959
* ``set_make_working_trees`` is now implemented provided on all repository
960
implementations (Aaron Bentley)
961
962
* ``VersionedFile`` now has a new method ``get_parent_map`` which, like
963
``Graph.get_parent_map`` returns a dict of key:parents. (Robert Collins)

975
BUG FIXES:
976
977
* Fix a bug causing a ValueError crash in ``parse_line_delta_iter`` when
978
fetching revisions from a knit to pack repository or vice versa using
979
bzr:// (including over http or ssh).

bzr 1.3 2008-03-20
984
------------------
985
986
Bazaar has become part of the GNU project <http://www.gnu.org>
987
988
Many operations that act on history, including ``log`` and ``annotate`` are now
989
substantially faster. Several bugs have been fixed and several new options and
990
features have been added.
991
992
TESTING:
993
994
* Avoid spurious failure of ``TestVersion.test_version`` matching
995
directory names.

1000
---------------------
1001
1002
NOTES WHEN UPGRADING:
1003
1004
* The backup directory created by ``upgrade`` is now called
1005
``backup.bzr``, not ``.bzr.backup``. (Martin Albisetti)
1006
1007
CHANGES:
1008
1009
* A new repository format 'development' has been added. This format will
1010
represent the latest 'in-progress' format that the bzr developers are
1011
interested in getting early-adopter testing and feedback on.
1012
``doc/developers/development-repo.txt`` has detailed information.
1013
(Robert Collins)
1014
1015
* BZR_LOG environment variable controls location of .bzr.log trace file.
1016
User can suppress writing messages to .bzr.log by using '/dev/null'
1017
filename (on Linux) or 'NUL' (on Windows). If BZR_LOG variable
1018
is not defined but BZR_HOME is defined then default location
1019
for .bzr.log trace file is ``$BZR_HOME/.bzr.log``.
1020
(Alexander Belchenko)
1021
1022
* ``launchpad`` builtin plugin now shipped as separate part in standalone
1023
bzr.exe, installed to ``C:\Program Files\Bazaar\plugins`` directory,
1024
and standalone installer allows user to skip installation of this plugin.
1025
(Alexander Belchenko)
1026
1027
* Restore auto-detection of plink.exe on Windows. (Dmitry Vasiliev)
1028
1029
* Version number is now shown as "1.2" or "1.2pr2", without zeroed or
1030
missing final fields. (Martin Pool)
1031
1032
FEATURES:
1033
1034
* ``branch`` and ``checkout`` can hard-link working tree files, which is
1035
faster and saves space. (Aaron Bentley)
1036
1037
* ``bzr send`` will now also look at the ``child_submit_to`` setting in
1038
the submit branch to determine the email address to send to.
1039
(Jelmer Vernooij)
1040
1041
IMPROVEMENTS:
1042
1043
* BzrBranch._lefthand_history is faster on pack repos. (Aaron Bentley)
1044
1045
* Branch6.generate_revision_history is faster. (Aaron Bentley)
1046
1047
* Directory services can now be registered, allowing special URLs to be
1048
dereferenced into real URLs. This is a generalization and cleanup of
1049
the lp: transport lookup. (Aaron Bentley)
1050
1051
* Merge directives that are automatically attached to emails have nicer
1052
filenames, based on branch-nick + revno. (Aaron Bentley)
1053
1054
* ``push`` has a ``--revision`` option, to specify what revision to push up
1055
to. (Daniel Watkins)
1056
1057
* Significantly reducing execution time and network traffic for trivial
1058
case of running ``bzr missing`` command for two identical branches.
1059
(Alexander Belchenko)
1060
1061
* Speed up operations that look at the revision graph (such as 'bzr log').
1062
``KnitPackRepositor.get_revision_graph`` uses ``Graph.iter_ancestry`` to
1063
extract the revision history. This allows filtering ghosts while
1064
stepping instead of needing to peek ahead. (John Arbash Meinel)
1065
1066
* The ``hooks`` command lists installed hooks, to assist in debugging.
1067
(Daniel Watkins)
1068
1069
* Updates to how ``annotate`` work. Should see a measurable improvement in
1070
performance and memory consumption for file with a lot of merges.
1071
Also, correctly handle when a line is introduced by both parents (it
1072
should be attributed to the first merge which notices this, and not
1073
to all subsequent merges.) (John Arbash Meinel)
1074
1075
BUGFIXES:
1076
1077
* Autopacking no longer holds the full set of inventory lines in
1078
memory while copying. For large repositories, this can amount to
1079
hundreds of MB of ram consumption.
1080
(Ian Clatworthy, John Arbash Meinel)
1081
1082
* Cherrypicking when using ``--format=merge3`` now explictly excludes
1083
BASE lines. (John Arbash Meinel, #151731)
1084
1085
* Disable plink's interactive prompt for password.
1086
(#107593, Dmitry Vasiliev)
1087
1088
* Encode command line arguments from unicode to user_encoding before
1089
invoking external mail client in `bzr send` command.
1090
(#139318, Alexander Belchenko)
1091
1092
* Fixed problem connecting to ``bzr+https://`` servers.
1093
(#198793, John Ferlito)
1094
1095
* Improved error reporting in the Launchpad plugin. (Daniel Watkins,
1096
#196618)
1097
1098
* Include quick-start-summary.svg file to python-based installer(s)
1099
for Windows. (#192924, Alexander Belchenko)
1100
1101
* lca merge now respects specified files. (Aaron Bentley)
1102
1103
* Make version-info --custom imply --all. (#195560, James Westby)
1104
1105
* ``merge --preview`` now works for merges that add or modify
1106
symlinks (James Henstridge)
1107
1108
* Redirecting the output from ``bzr merge`` (when the remembered
1109
location is used) now works. (John Arbash Meinel)
1110
1111
* setup.py script explicitly checks for Python version.
1112
(Jari Aalto, Alexander Belchenko, #200569)
1113
1114
* UnknownFormatErrors no longer refer to branches regardless of kind of
1115
unknown format. (Daniel Watkins, #173980)
1116
1117
* Upgrade bundled ConfigObj to version 4.5.2, which properly quotes #
1118
signs, among other small improvements. (Matt Nordhoff, #86838)
1119
1120
* Use correct indices when emitting LCA conflicts. This fixes IndexError
1121
errors. (Aaron Bentley, #196780)
1122
1123
DOCUMENTATION:
1124
1125
* Explained how to use ``version-info --custom`` in the User Guide.
1126
(Neil Martinsen-Burrell)
1127
1128
API BREAKS:
1129
1130
* Support for loading plugins from zip files and
1131
``bzrlib.plugin.load_from_zip()`` function are deprecated.
1132
(Alexander Belchenko)
1133
1134
TESTING:
1135
1136
* Added missing blackbox tests for ``modified`` (Adrian Wilkins)
1137
1138
* The branch interface tests were invalid for branches using rich-root
1139
repositories because the empty string is not a valid file-id.
1140
(Robert Collins)
1141
1142
INTERNALS:
1143
1144
* ``Graph.iter_ancestry`` returns the ancestry of revision ids. Similar to
1145
``Repository.get_revision_graph()`` except it includes ghosts and you can
1146
stop part-way through. (John Arbash Meinel)
1147
1148
* New module ``tools/package_mf.py`` provide custom module finder for
1149
python packages (improves standard python library's modulefinder.py)
1150
used by ``setup.py`` script while building standalone bzr.exe.
1151
(Alexander Belchenko)
1152
1153
* New remote method ``RemoteBzrDir.find_repositoryV2`` adding support for
1154
detecting external lookup support on remote repositories. This method is
1155
now attempted first when lookup up repositories, leading to an extra
1156
round trip on older bzr smart servers. (Robert Collins)
1157
1158
* Repository formats have a new supported-feature attribute
1159
``supports_external_lookups`` used to indicate repositories which support
1160
falling back to other repositories when they have partial data.
1161
(Robert Collins)
1162
1163
* ``Repository.get_revision_graph_with_ghosts`` and
1164
``bzrlib.revision.(common_ancestor,MultipleRevisionSources,common_graph)``
1165
have been deprecated. (John Arbash Meinel)
1166
1167
* ``Tree.iter_changes`` is now a public API, replacing the work-in-progress
1168
``Tree._iter_changes``. The api is now considered stable and ready for
1169
external users. (Aaron Bentley)
1170
1171
* The bzrdir format registry now accepts an ``alias`` keyword to
1172
register_metadir, used to indicate that a format name is an alias for
1173
some other format and thus should not be reported when describing the
1174
format. (Robert Collins)

1188
NOTES WHEN UPGRADING:
1189
1190
* Fetching via the smart protocol may need to reconnect once during a fetch
1191
if the remote server is running Bazaar 1.1 or earlier, because the client
1192
attempts to use more efficient requests that confuse older servers. You
1193
may be required to re-enter a password or passphrase when this happens.
1194
This won't happen if the server is upgraded to Bazaar 1.2.
1195
(Andrew Bennetts)
1196
1197
CHANGES:
1198
1199
* Fetching via bzr+ssh will no longer fill ghosts by default (this is
1200
consistent with pack-0.92 fetching over SFTP). (Robert Collins)
1201
1202
* Formatting of ``bzr plugins`` output is changed to be more human-
1203
friendly. Full path of plugins locations will be shown only with
1204
``--verbose`` command-line option. (Alexander Belchenko)
1205
1206
* ``merge`` now prefers to use the submit branch, but will fall back to
1207
parent branch. For many users, this has no effect. But some users who
1208
pull and merge on the same branch will notice a change. This change
1209
makes it easier to work on a branch on two different machines, pulling
1210
between the machines, while merging from the upstream.
1211
``merge --remember`` can now be used to set the submit_branch.
1212
(Aaron Bentley)
1213
1214
FEATURES:
1215
1216
* ``merge --preview`` produces a diff of the changes merge would make,
1217
but does not actually perform the merge. (Aaron Bentley)
1218
1219
* New smart method ``Repository.get_parent_map`` for getting revision
1220
parent data. This returns additional parent information topologically
1221
adjacent to the requested data to reduce round trip latency impacts.
1222
(Robert Collins)
1223
1224
* New smart method, ``Repository.stream_revisions_chunked``, for fetching
1225
revision data that streams revision data via a chunked encoding. This
1226
avoids buffering large amounts of revision data on the server and on the
1227
client, and sends less data to the server to request the revisions.
1228
(Andrew Bennetts, Robert Collins, #178353)
1229
1230
* The launchpad plugin now handles lp urls of the form
1231
``lp://staging/``, ``lp://demo/``, ``lp://dev/`` to use the appropriate
1232
launchpad instance to do the resolution of the branch identities.
1233
This is primarily of use to Launchpad developers, but can also
1234
be used by other users who want to try out Launchpad as
1235
a branch location without messing up their public Launchpad
1236
account. Branches that are pushed to the staging environment
1237
have an expected lifetime of one day. (Tim Penhey)
1238
1239
IMPROVEMENTS:
1240
1241
* Creating a new branch no longer tries to read the entire revision-history
1242
unnecessarily over smart server operations. (Robert Collins)
1243
1244
* Fetching between different repository formats with compatible models now
1245
takes advantage of the smart method to stream revisions. (Andrew Bennetts)
1246
1247
* The ``--coverage`` option is now global, rather specific to ``bzr
1248
selftest``. (Andrew Bennetts)
1249
1250
* The ``register-branch`` command will now use the public url of the branch
1251
containing the current directory, if one has been set and no explicit
1252
branch is provided. (Robert Collins)
1253
1254
* Tweak the ``reannotate`` code path to optimize the 2-parent case.
1255
Speeds up ``bzr annotate`` with a pack repository by approx 3:2.
1256
(John Arbash Meinel)
1257
1258
BUGFIXES:
1259
1260
* Calculate remote path relative to the shared medium in _SmartClient. This
1261
is related to the problem in bug #124089. (Andrew Bennetts)
1262
1263
* Cleanly handle connection errors in smart protocol version two, the same
1264
way as they are handled by version one. (Andrew Bennetts)
1265
1266
* Clearer error when ``version-info --custom`` is used without
1267
``--template`` (Lukáš Lalinský)
1268
1269
* Don't raise UnavailableFeature during test setup when medusa is not
1270
available or tearDown is never called leading to nasty side effects.
1271
(#137823, Vincent Ladeuil)
1272
1273
* If a plugin's test suite cannot be loaded, for example because of a syntax
1274
error in the tests, then ``selftest`` fails, rather than just printing
1275
a warning. (Martin Pool, #189771)
1276
1277
* List possible values for BZR_SSH environment variable in env-variables
1278
help topic. (Alexander Belchenko, #181842)
1279
1280
* New methods ``push_log_file`` and ``pop_log_file`` to intercept messages:
1281
popping the log redirection now precisely restores the previous state,
1282
which makes it easier to use bzr log output from other programs.
1283
TestCaseInTempDir no longer depends on a log redirection being established
1284
by the test framework, which lets bzr tests cleanly run from a normal
1285
unittest runner.
1286
(#124153, #124849, Martin Pool, Jonathan Lange)
1287
1288
* ``pull --quiet`` is now more quiet, in particular a message is no longer
1289
printed when the remembered pull location is used. (James Westby,
1290
#185907)
1291
1292
* ``reconfigure`` can safely be interrupted while fetching.
1293
(Aaron Bentley, #179316)
1294
1295
* ``reconfigure`` preserves tags when converting to and from lightweight
1296
checkouts. (Aaron Bentley, #182040)
1297
1298
* Stop polluting /tmp when running selftest.
1299
(Vincent Ladeuil, #123623)
1300
1301
* Switch from NFKC => NFC for normalization checks. NFC allows a few
1302
more characters which should be considered valid.
1303
(John Arbash Meinel, #185458)
1304
1305
* The launchpad plugin now uses the ``edge`` xmlrpc server to avoid
1306
interacting badly with a bug on the launchpad side. (Robert Collins)
1307
1308
* Unknown hostnames when connecting to a ``bzr://`` URL no longer cause
1309
tracebacks. (Andrew Bennetts, #182849)
1310
1311
API BREAKS:
1312
1313
* Classes implementing Merge types like Merge3Merger must now accept (and
1314
honour) a do_merge flag in their constructor. (Aaron Bentley)
1315
1316
* ``Repository.add_inventory`` and ``add_revision`` now require the caller
1317
to previously take a write lock (and start a write group.)
1318
(Martin Pool)
1319
1320
TESTING:
1321
1322
* selftest now accepts --load-list <file> to load a test id list. This
1323
speeds up running the test suite on a limited set of tests.
1324
(Vincent Ladeuil)
1325
1326
INTERNALS:
1327
1328
* Add a new method ``get_result`` to graph search objects. The resulting
1329
``SearchResult`` can be used to recreate the search later, which will
1330
be useful in reducing network traffic. (Robert Collins)
1331
1332
* Use convenience function to check whether two repository handles
1333
are referring to the same repository in ``Repository.get_graph``.
1334
(Jelmer Vernooij, #187162)
1335
1336
* Fetching now passes the find_ghosts flag through to the
1337
``InterRepository.missing_revision_ids`` call consistently for all
1338
repository types. This will enable faster missing revision discovery with
1339
bzr+ssh. (Robert Collins)
1340
1341
* Fix error handling in Repository.insert_data_stream. (Lukas Lalinsky)
1342
1343
* ``InterRepository.missing_revision_ids`` is now deprecated in favour of
1344
``InterRepository.search_missing_revision_ids`` which returns a
1345
``bzrlib.graph.SearchResult`` suitable for making requests from the smart
1346
server. (Robert Collins)
1347
1348
* New error ``NoPublicBranch`` for commands that need a public branch to
1349
operate. (Robert Collins)
1350
1351
* New method ``iter_inventories`` on Repository for access to many
1352
inventories. This is primarily used by the ``revision_trees`` method, as
1353
direct access to inventories is discouraged. (Robert Collins)
1354
1355
* New method ``next_with_ghosts`` on the Graph breadth-first-search objects
1356
which will split out ghosts and present parents into two separate sets,
1357
useful for code which needs to be aware of ghosts (e.g. fetching data
1358
cares about ghosts during revision selection). (Robert Collins)
1359
1360
* Record a timestamp against each mutter to the trace file, relative to the
1361
first import of bzrlib. (Andrew Bennetts)
1362
1363
* ``Repository.get_data_stream`` is now deprecated in favour of
1364
``Repository.get_data_stream_for_search`` which allows less network
1365
traffic when requesting data streams over a smart server. (Robert Collins)
1366
1367
* ``RemoteBzrDir._get_tree_branch`` no longer triggers ``_ensure_real``,
1368
removing one round trip on many network operations. (Robert Collins)
1369
1370
* RemoteTransport's ``recommended_page_size`` method now returns 64k, like
1371
SFTPTransport and HttpTransportBase. (Andrew Bennetts)
1372
1373
* Repository has a new method ``has_revisions`` which signals the presence
1374
of many revisions by returning a set of the revisions listed which are
1375
present. This can be done by index queries without reading data for parent
1376
revision names etc. (Robert Collins)

CHANGES:
1388
1389
* Dotted revision numbers have been revised. Instead of growing longer with
1390
nested branches the branch number just increases. (eg instead of 1.1.1.1.1
1391
we now report 1.2.1.) This helps scale long lived branches which have many
1392
feature branches merged between them. (John Arbash Meinel)
1393
1394
* The syntax ``bzr diff branch1 branch2`` is no longer supported.
1395
Use ``bzr diff branch1 --new branch2`` instead. This change has
1396
been made to remove the ambiguity where ``branch2`` is in fact a
1397
specific file to diff within ``branch1``.
1398
1399
FEATURES:
1400
1401
* New option to use custom template-based formats in ``bzr version-info``.
1402
(Lukáš Lalinský)
1403
1404
* diff '--using' allows an external diff tool to be used for files.
1405
(Aaron Bentley)
1406
1407
* New "lca" merge-type for fast everyday merging that also supports
1408
criss-cross merges. (Aaron Bentley)
1409
1410
IMPROVEMENTS:
1411
1412
* ``annotate`` now doesn't require a working tree. (Lukáš Lalinský,
1413
#90049)
1414
1415
* ``branch`` and ``checkout`` can now use files from a working tree to
1416
to speed up the process. For checkout, this requires the new
1417
--files-from flag. (Aaron Bentley)
1418
1419
* ``bzr diff`` now sorts files in alphabetical order. (Aaron Bentley)
1420
1421
* ``bzr diff`` now works on branches without working trees. Tree-less
1422
branches can also be compared to each other and to working trees using
1423
the new diff options ``--old`` and ``--new``. Diffing between branches,
1424
with or without trees, now supports specific file filtering as well.
1425
(Ian Clatworthy, #6700)
1426
1427
* ``bzr pack`` now orders revision texts in topological order, with newest
1428
at the start of the file, promoting linear reads for ``bzr log`` and the
1429
like. This partially fixes #154129. (Robert Collins)
1430
1431
* Merge directives now fetch prerequisites from the target branch if
1432
needed. (Aaron Bentley)
1433
1434
* pycurl now handles digest authentication.
1435
(Vincent Ladeuil)
1436
1437
* ``reconfigure`` can now convert from repositories. (Aaron Bentley)
1438
1439
* ``-l`` is now a short form for ``--limit`` in ``log``. (Matt Nordhoff)
1440
1441
* ``merge`` now warns when merge directives cause cherrypicks.
1442
(Aaron Bentley)
1443
1444
* ``split`` now supported, to enable splitting large trees into smaller
1445
pieces. (Aaron Bentley)
1446
1447
BUGFIXES:
1448
1449
* Avoid AttributeError when unlocking a pack repository when an error occurs.
1450
(Martin Pool, #180208)
1451
1452
* Better handle short reads when processing multiple range requests.
1453
(Vincent Ladeuil, #179368)
1454
1455
* build_tree acceleration uses the correct path when a file has been moved.
1456
(Aaron Bentley)
1457
1458
* ``commit`` now succeeds when a checkout and its master branch share a
1459
repository. (Aaron Bentley, #177592)
1460
1461
* Fixed error reporting of unsupported timezone format in
1462
``log --timezone``. (Lukáš Lalinský, #178722)
1463
1464
* Fixed Unicode encoding error in ``ignored`` when the output is
1465
redirected to a pipe. (Lukáš Lalinský)
1466
1467
* Fix traceback when sending large response bodies over the smart protocol
1468
on Windows. (Andrew Bennetts, #115781)
1469
1470
* Fix ``urlutils.relative_url`` for the case of two ``file:///`` URLs
1471
pointed to different logical drives on Windows.
1472
(Alexander Belchenko, #90847)
1473
1474
* HTTP test servers are now compatible with the http protocol version 1.1.
1475
(Vincent Ladeuil, #175524)
1476
1477
* _KnitParentsProvider.get_parent_map now handles requests for ghosts
1478
correctly, instead of erroring or attributing incorrect parents to ghosts.
1479
(Aaron Bentley)
1480
1481
* ``merge --weave --uncommitted`` now works. (Aaron Bentley)
1482
1483
* pycurl authentication handling was broken and incomplete. Fix handling of
1484
user:pass embedded in the urls.
1485
(Vincent Ladeuil, #177643)
1486
1487
* Files inside non-directories are now handled like other conflict types.
1488
(Aaron Bentley, #177390)
1489
1490
* ``reconfigure`` is able to convert trees into lightweight checkouts.
1491
(Aaron Bentley)
1492
1493
* Reduce lockdir timeout to 0 when running ``bzr serve``. (Andrew Bennetts,
1494
#148087)
1495
1496
* Test that the old ``version_info_format`` functions still work, even
1497
though they are deprecated. (John Arbash Meinel, ShenMaq, #177872)
1498
1499
* Transform failures no longer cause ImmortalLimbo errors (Aaron Bentley,
1500
#137681)
1501
1502
* ``uncommit`` works even when the commit messages of revisions to be
1503
removed use characters not supported in the terminal encoding.
1504
(Aaron Bentley)
1505
1506
* When dumb http servers return whole files instead of the requested ranges,
1507
read the remaining bytes by chunks to avoid overflowing network buffers.
1508
(Vincent Ladeuil, #175886)
1509
1510
DOCUMENTATION:
1511
1512
* Minor tweaks made to the bug tracker integration documentation.
1513
(Ian Clatworthy)
1514
1515
* Reference material has now be moved out of the User Guide and added
1516
to the User Reference. The User Reference has gained 4 sections as
1517
a result: Authenication Settings, Configuration Settings, Conflicts
1518
and Hooks. All help topics are now dumped into text format in the
1519
doc/en/user-reference directory for those who like browsing that
1520
information in their editor. (Ian Clatworthy)
1521
1522
* *Using Bazaar with Launchpad* tutorial added. (Ian Clatworthy)
1523
1524
INTERNALS:
1525
1526
* find_* methods available for BzrDirs, Branches and WorkingTrees.
1527
(Aaron Bentley)
1528
1529
* Help topics can now be loaded from files.
1530
(Ian Clatworthy, Alexander Belchenko)
1531
1532
* get_parent_map now always provides tuples as its output. (Aaron Bentley)
1533
1534
* Parent Providers should now implement ``get_parent_map`` returning a
1535
dictionary instead of ``get_parents`` returning a list.
1536
``Graph.get_parents`` is now deprecated. (John Arbash Meinel,
1537
Robert Collins)
1538
1539
* Patience Diff now supports arbitrary python objects, as long as they
1540
support ``hash()``. (John Arbash Meinel)
1541
1542
* Reduce selftest overhead to establish test names by memoization.
1543
(Vincent Ladeuil)
1544
1545
API BREAKS:
1546
1547
TESTING:
1548
1549
* Modules can now customise their tests by defining a ``load_tests``
1550
attribute. ``pydoc bzrlib.tests.TestUtil.TestLoader.loadTestsFromModule``
1551
for the documentation on this attribute. (Robert Collins)
1552
1553
* New helper function ``bzrlib.tests.condition_id_re`` which helps
1554
filter tests based on a regular expression search on the tests id.
1555
(Robert Collins)
1556
1557
* New helper function ``bzrlib.tests.condition_isinstance`` which helps
1558
filter tests based on class. (Robert Collins)
1559
1560
* New helper function ``bzrlib.tests.exclude_suite_by_condition`` which
1561
generalises the ``exclude_suite_by_re`` function. (Robert Collins)
1562
1563
* New helper function ``bzrlib.tests.filter_suite_by_condition`` which
1564
generalises the ``filter_suite_by_re`` function. (Robert Collins)
1565
1566
* New helper method ``bzrlib.tests.exclude_tests_by_re`` which gives a new
1567
TestSuite that does not contain tests from the input that matched a
1568
regular expression. (Robert Collins)
1569
1570
* New helper method ``bzrlib.tests.randomize_suite`` which returns a
1571
randomized copy of the input suite. (Robert Collins)
1572
1573
* New helper method ``bzrlib.tests.split_suite_by_re`` which splits a test
1574
suite into two according to a regular expression. (Robert Collins)
1575
1576
* Parametrize all http tests for the transport implementations, the http
1577
protocol versions (1.0 and 1.1) and the authentication schemes.
1578
(Vincent Ladeuil)
1579
1580
* The ``exclude_pattern`` and ``random_order`` parameters to the function
1581
``bzrlib.tests.filter_suite_by_re`` have been deprecated. (Robert Collins)
1582
1583
* The method ``bzrlib.tests.sort_suite_by_re`` has been deprecated. It is
1584
replaced by the new helper methods added in this release. (Robert Collins)

1609
* If a traceback occurs, users are now asked to report the bug

1611
by mail to the mailing list.
1612
(Martin Pool)
1613
1614
BUGFIXES:
1615
1616
* Fix Makefile rules for doc generation. (Ian Clatworthy, #175207)
1617
1618
* Give more feedback during long http downloads by making readv deliver data
1619
as it arrives for urllib, and issue more requests for pycurl. High latency
1620
networks are better handled by urllib, the pycurl implementation give more
1621
feedback but also incur more latency.
1622
(Vincent Ladeuil, #173010)
1623
1624
* Implement _make_parents_provider on RemoteRepository, allowing generating
1625
bundles against branches on a smart server. (Andrew Bennetts, #147836)

(Ian Clatworthy)
1633
1634
INTERNALS:
1635
1636
* readv urllib http implementation is now a real iterator above the
1637
underlying socket and deliver data as soon as it arrives. 'get' still

1645
IMPROVEMENTS:
1646
1647
* Added a --coverage option to selftest. (Andrew Bennetts)
1648
1649
* Annotate merge (merge-type=weave) now supports cherrypicking.
1650
(Aaron Bentley)
1651
1652
* ``bzr commit`` now doesn't print the revision number twice. (Matt
1653
Nordhoff, #172612)
1654
1655
* New configuration option ``bugtracker_<tracker_abbrevation>_url`` to
1656
define locations of bug trackers that are not directly supported by
1657
bzr or a plugin. The URL will be treated as a template and ``{id}``
1658
placeholders will be replaced by specific bug IDs. (Lukáš Lalinský)
1659
1660
* Support logging single merge revisions with short and line log formatters.
1661
(Kent Gibson)
1662
1663
* User Guide enhanced with suggested readability improvements from
1664
Matt Revell and corrections from John Arbash Meinel. (Ian Clatworthy)
1665
1666
* Quick Start Guide renamed to Quick Start Card, moved down in
1667
the catalog, provided in pdf and png format and updated to refer
1668
to ``send`` instead of ``bundle``. (Ian Clatworthy, #165080)
1669
1670
* ``switch`` can now be used on heavyweight checkouts as well as
1671
lightweight ones. After switching a heavyweight checkout, the
1672
local branch is a mirror/cache of the new bound branch and
1673
uncommitted changes in the working tree are merged. As a safety
1674
check, if there are local commits in a checkout which have not
1675
been committed to the previously bound branch, then ``switch``
1676
fails unless the ``--force`` option is given. This option is
1677
now also required if the branch a lightweight checkout is pointing
1678
to has been moved. (Ian Clatworthy)
1679
1680
INTERNALS:
1681
1682
* New -Dhttp debug option reports http connections, requests and responses.

1686
1687
BUGFIXES:

* Better error message when running ``bzr cat`` on a non-existant branch.
1690
(Lukáš Lalinský, #133782)
1691
1692
* Catch OSError 17 (file exists) in final phase of tree transform and show
1693
filename to user.
1694
(Alexander Belchenko, #111758)
1695
1696
* Catch ShortReadvErrors while using pycurl. Also make readv more robust by
1697
allowing multiple GET requests to be issued if too many ranges are
1698
required.
1699
(Vincent Ladeuil, #172701)
1700
1701
* Check for missing basis texts when fetching from packs to packs.
1702
(John Arbash Meinel, #165290)
1703
1704
* Fall back to showing e-mail in ``log --short/--line`` if the
1705
committer/author has only e-mail. (Lukáš Lalinský, #157026)
1706
1707
API BREAKS:

bzr 1.0rc1 2007-11-30
1714
---------------------
1715
1716
NOTES WHEN UPGRADING:
1717
1718
* The default repository format is now ``pack-0.92``. This
1719
default is used when creating new repositories with ``init`` and
1720
``init-repo``, and when branching over bzr+ssh or bzr+hpss.
1721
(See https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/164626)
1722
1723
This format can be read and written by Bazaar 0.92 and later, and
1724
data can be transferred to and from older formats.
1725
1726
To upgrade, please reconcile your repository (``bzr reconcile``), and then
1727
upgrade (``bzr upgrade``).
1728
1729
``pack-0.92`` offers substantially better scaling and performance than the
1730
previous knits format. Some operations are slower where the code already
1731
had bad scaling characteristics under knits, the pack format makes such
1732
operations more visible as part of being more scalable overall. We will
1733
correct such operations over the coming releases and encourage the filing
1734
of bugs on any operation which you observe to be slower in a packs
1735
repository. One particular case that we do not intend to fix is pulling
1736
data from a pack repository into a knit repository over a high latency
1737
link; downgrading such data requires reinsertion of the file texts, and
1738
this is a classic space/time tradeoff. The current implementation is
1739
conservative on memory usage because we need to support converting data
1740
from any tree without problems.
1741
(Robert Collins, Martin Pool, #164476)
1742
1743
CHANGES:
1744
1745
* Disable detection of plink.exe as possible ssh vendor. Plink vendor
1746
still available if user selects it explicitly with BZR_SSH environment
1747
variable. (Alexander Belchenko, workaround for bug #107593)
1748
1749
* The pack format is now accessible as "pack-0.92", or "pack-0.92-subtree"
1750
to enable the subtree functions (for example, for bzr-svn).
1751
See http://doc.bazaar-vcs.org/latest/developer/packrepo.html
1752
(Martin Pool)
1753
1754
FEATURES:
1755
1756
* New ``authentication.conf`` file holding the password or other credentials
1757
for remote servers. This can be used for ssh, sftp, smtp and other
1758
supported transports.
1759
(Vincent Ladeuil)
1760
1761
* New rich-root and rich-root-pack formats, recording the same data about
1762
tree roots that's recorded for all other directories.
1763
(Aaron Bentley, #164639)
1764
1765
* ``pack-0.92`` repositories can now be reconciled.
1766
(Robert Collins, #154173)
1767
1768
* ``switch`` command added for changing the branch a lightweight checkout
1769
is associated with and updating the tree to reflect the latest content
1770
accordingly. This command was previously part of the BzrTools plug-in.
1771
(Ian Clatworthy, Aaron Bentley, David Allouche)
1772
1773
* ``reconfigure`` command can now convert branches, trees, or checkouts to
1774
lightweight checkouts. (Aaron Bentley)
1775
1776
PERFORMANCE:
1777
1778
* Commit updates the state of the working tree via a delta rather than
1779
supplying entirely new basis trees. For commit of a single specified file
1780
this reduces the wall clock time for commit by roughly a 30%.
1781
(Robert Collins, Martin Pool)
1782
1783
* Commit with many automatically found deleted paths no longer performs
1784
linear scanning for the children of those paths during inventory
1785
iteration. This should fix commit performance blowing out when many such
1786
paths occur during commit. (Robert Collins, #156491)
1787
1788
* Fetch with pack repositories will no longer read the entire history graph.
1789
(Robert Collins, #88319)
1790
1791
* Revert takes out an appropriate lock when reverting to a basis tree, and
1792
does not read the basis inventory twice. (Robert Collins)
1793
1794
* Diff does not require an inventory to be generated on dirstate trees.
1795
(Aaron Bentley, #149254)
1796
1797
* New annotate merge (--merge-type=weave) implementation is fast on
1798
versionedfiles withough cached annotations, e.g. pack-0.92.
1799
(Aaron Bentley)
1800
1801
IMPROVEMENTS:
1802
1803
* ``bzr merge`` now warns when it encounters a criss-cross merge.
1804
(Aaron Bentley)
1805
1806
* ``bzr send`` now doesn't require the target e-mail address to be
1807
specified on the command line if an interactive e-mail client is used.
1808
(Lukáš Lalinský)
1809
1810
* ``bzr tags`` now prints the revision number for each tag, instead of
1811
the revision id, unless --show-ids is passed. In addition, tags can be
1812
sorted chronologically instead of lexicographically with --sort=time.
1813
(Adeodato Simó, #120231)
1814
1815
* Windows standalone version of bzr is able to load system-wide plugins from
1816
"plugins" subdirectory in installation directory. In addition standalone
1817
installer write to the registry (HKLM\SOFTWARE\Bazaar) useful info
1818
about paths and bzr version. (Alexander Belchenko, #129298)

1829
1830
* ``commit`` is now able to invoke an external editor in a non-ascii
1831
directory. (Daniel Watkins, #84043)
1832
1833
* Catch connection errors for ftp.
1834
(Vincent Ladeuil, #164567)
1835
1836
* ``check`` no longer reports spurious unreferenced text versions.
1837

1847
1848
* Do no use timeout in HttpServer anymore.
1849
(Vincent Ladeuil, #158972).
1850
1851
* Don't catch the exceptions related to the http pipeline status before
1852
retrying an http request or some programming errors may be masked.
1853
(Vincent Ladeuil, #160012)
1854
1855

1856
(Lukáš Lalinský, #172598)
1857
1858
* Fix exception when revisionspec contains merge revisons but log
1859
formatter doesn't support merge revisions. (Kent Gibson, #148908)
1860
1861
* Fix exception when ScopeReplacer is assigned to before any members have
1862
been retrieved. (Aaron Bentley)
1863
1864
* Fix multiple connections during checkout --lightweight.
1865
(Vincent Ladeuil, #159150)
1866
1867
* Fix possible error in insert_data_stream when copying between
1868
pack repositories over bzr+ssh or bzr+http.
1869
KnitVersionedFile.get_data_stream now makes sure that requested
1870
compression parents are sent before any delta hunks that depend
1871
on them.

1873
1874
* Fix typo in limiting offsets coalescing for http, leading to
1875
whole files being downloaded instead of parts.
1876
(Vincent Ladeuil, #165061)
1877
1878
* FTP server errors don't error in the error handling code.
1879
(Robert Collins, #161240)
1880
1881
* Give a clearer message when a pull fails because the source needs
1882
to be reconciled.
1883
(Martin Pool, #164443)
1884
1885
* It is clearer when a plugin cannot be loaded because of its name, and a
1886
suggestion for an acceptable name is given. (Daniel Watkins, #103023)
1887
1888
* Leave port as None in transport objects if user doesn't
1889
specify a port in urls.
1890
(vincent Ladeuil, #150860)
1891
1892
* Make sure Repository.fetch(self) is properly a no-op for all
1893
Repository implementations. (John Arbash Meinel, #158333)
1894
1895
* Mark .bzr directories as "hidden" on Windows.
1896
(Alexander Belchenko, #71147)
1897
1898
* ``merge --uncommitted`` can now operate on a single file.
1899
(Aaron Bentley, Lukáš Lalinský, #136890)
1900
1901
* Obsolete packs are now cleaned up by pack and autopack operations.
1902
(Robert Collins, #153789)
1903
1904
* Operations pulling data from a smart server where the underlying
1905
repositories are not both annotated/both unannotated will now work.
1906
(Robert Collins, #165304).
1907
1908
* Reconcile now shows progress bars. (Robert Collins, #159351)
1909
1910
* ``RemoteBranch`` was not initializing ``self._revision_id_to_revno_map``
1911
properly. (John Arbash Meinel, #162486)
1912
1913
* Removing an already-removed file reports the file does not exist. (Daniel
1914
Watkins, #152811)
1915
1916
* Rename on Windows is able to change filename case.
1917
(Alexander Belchenko, #77740)
1918
1919
* Return error instead of a traceback for ``bzr log -r0``.
1920
(Kent Gibson, #133751)
1921
1922
* Return error instead of a traceback when bzr is unable to create
1923
symlink on some platforms (e.g. on Windows).
1924
(Alexander Belchenko, workaround for #81689)
1925
1926
* Revert doesn't crash when restoring a single file from a deleted
1927
directory. (Aaron Bentley)
1928
1929
* Stderr output via logging mechanism now goes through encoded wrapper
1930
and no more uses utf-8, but terminal encoding instead. So all unicode
1931
strings now should be readable in non-utf-8 terminal.
1932
(Alexander Belchenko, #54173)
1933
1934
* The error message when ``move --after`` should be used makes how to do so
1935
clearer. (Daniel Watkins, #85237)
1936
1937
* Unicode-safe output from ``bzr info``. The output will be encoded
1938
using the terminal encoding and unrepresentable characters will be
1939
replaced by '?'. (Lukáš Lalinský, #151844)
1940
1941
* Working trees are no longer created when pushing into a local no-trees
1942
repo. (Daniel Watkins, #50582)
1943
1944
* Upgrade util/configobj to version 4.4.0.
1945
(Vincent Ladeuil, #151208).
1946
1947
* Wrap medusa ftp test server as an FTPServer feature.
1948
(Vincent Ladeuil, #157752)
1949
1950
API BREAKS:
1951
1952
* ``osutils.backup_file`` is deprecated. Actually it's not used in bzrlib
1953
during very long time. (Alexander Belchenko)
1954
1955
* The return value of
1956
``VersionedFile.iter_lines_added_or_present_in_versions`` has been
1957
changed. Previously it was an iterator of lines, now it is an iterator of
1958
(line, version_id) tuples. This change has been made to aid reconcile and
1959
fetch operations. (Robert Collins)
1960
1961
* ``bzrlib.repository.get_versioned_file_checker`` is now private.
1962
(Robert Collins)
1963
1964
* The Repository format registry default has been removed; it was previously
1965
obsoleted by the bzrdir format default, which implies a default repository
1966
format.
1967
(Martin Pool)
1968
1969
INTERNALS:
1970
1971
* Added ``ContainerSerialiser`` and ``ContainerPushParser`` to
1972
``bzrlib.pack``. These classes provide more convenient APIs for generating
1973
and parsing containers from streams rather than from files. (Andrew
1974
Bennetts)
1975
1976
* New module ``lru_cache`` providing a cache for use by tasks that need
1977
semi-random access to large amounts of data. (John A Meinel)
1978
1979
* InventoryEntry.diff is now deprecated. Please use diff.DiffTree instead.

NOTES WHEN UPGRADING:
1996
1997
CHANGES:
1998
1999
* ``bzr`` now returns exit code 4 if an internal error occurred, and
2000
3 if a normal error occurred. (Martin Pool)
2001
2002
* ``pull``, ``merge`` and ``push`` will no longer silently correct some
2003
repository index errors that occured as a result of the Weave disk format.
2004
Instead the ``reconcile`` command needs to be run to correct those
2005
problems if they exist (and it has been able to fix most such problems
2006
since bzr 0.8). Some new problems have been identified during this release
2007
and you should run ``bzr check`` once on every repository to see if you
2008
need to reconcile. If you cannot ``pull`` or ``merge`` from a remote
2009
repository due to mismatched parent errors - a symptom of index errors -
2010
you should simply take a full copy of that remote repository to a clean
2011
directory outside any local repositories, then run reconcile on it, and
2012
finally pull from it locally. (And naturally email the repositories owner
2013
to ask them to upgrade and run reconcile).
2014
(Robert Collins)
2015
2016
FEATURES:
2017
2018
* New ``knitpack-experimental`` repository format. This is interoperable with
2019
the ``dirstate-tags`` format but uses a smarter storage design that greatly
2020
speeds up many operations, both local and remote. This new format can be
2021
used as an option to the ``init``, ``init-repository`` and ``upgrade``
2022
commands. See http://doc.bazaar-vcs.org/0.92/developers/knitpack.html
2023
for further details. (Robert Collins)
2024
2025
* For users of bzr-svn (and those testing the prototype subtree support) that
2026
wish to try packs, a new ``knitpack-subtree-experimental`` format has also
2027
been added. This is interoperable with the ``dirstate-subtrees`` format.
2028
(Robert Collins)
2029
2030
* New ``reconfigure`` command. (Aaron Bentley)
2031
2032
* New ``revert --forget-merges`` command, which removes the record of a pending
2033
merge without affecting the working tree contents. (Martin Pool)
2034
2035
* New ``bzr_remote_path`` configuration variable allows finer control of
2036
remote bzr locations than BZR_REMOTE_PATH environment variable.
2037
(Aaron Bentley)
2038
2039
* New ``launchpad-login`` command to tell Bazaar your Launchpad
2040
user ID. This can then be used by other functions of the
2041
Launchpad plugin. (James Henstridge)
2042
2043
PERFORMANCE:
2044
2045
* Commit in quiet mode is now slightly faster as the information to
2046
output is no longer calculated. (Ian Clatworthy)
2047
2048
* Commit no longer checks for new text keys during insertion when the
2049
revision id was deterministically unique. (Robert Collins)
2050
2051
* Committing a change which is not a merge and does not change the number of
2052
files in the tree is faster by utilising the data about whether files are
2053
changed to determine if the tree is unchanged rather than recalculating
2054
it at the end of the commit process. (Robert Collins)
2055
2056
* Inventory serialisation no longer double-sha's the content.
2057
(Robert Collins)
2058
2059
* Knit text reconstruction now avoids making copies of the lines list for
2060
interim texts when building a single text. The new ``apply_delta`` method
2061
on ``KnitContent`` aids this by allowing modification of the revision id
2062
such objects represent. (Robert Collins)
2063
2064
* Pack indices are now partially parsed for specific key lookup using a
2065
bisection approach. (Robert Collins)
2066
2067
* Partial commits are now approximately 40% faster by walking over the
2068
unselected current tree more efficiently. (Robert Collins)
2069
2070
* XML inventory serialisation takes 20% less time while being stricter about
2071
the contents. (Robert Collins)
2072
2073
* Graph ``heads()`` queries have been fixed to no longer access all history
2074
unnecessarily. (Robert Collins)
2075
2076
IMPROVEMENTS:
2077
2078
* ``bzr+https://`` smart server across https now supported.
2079
(John Ferlito, Martin Pool, #128456)
2080
2081
* Mutt is now a supported mail client; set ``mail_client=mutt`` in your
2082
bazaar.conf and ``send`` will use mutt. (Keir Mierle)
2083
2084
* New option ``-c``/``--change`` for ``merge`` command for cherrypicking
2085
changes from one revision. (Alexander Belchenko, #141368)
2086
2087
* Show encodings, locale and list of plugins in the traceback message.
2088
(Martin Pool, #63894)
2089
2090
* Experimental directory formats can now be marked with
2091
``experimental = True`` during registration. (Ian Clatworthy)
2092
2093
DOCUMENTATION:
2094
2095
* New *Bazaar in Five Minutes* guide. (Matthew Revell)
2096
2097
* The hooks reference documentation is now converted to html as expected.
2098
(Ian Clatworthy)
2099
2100
BUG FIXES:
2101
2102
* Connection error reporting for the smart server has been fixed to
2103
display a user friendly message instead of a traceback.
2104
(Ian Clatworthy, #115601)
2105
2106
* Make sure to use ``O_BINARY`` when opening files to check their
2107
sha1sum. (Alexander Belchenko, John Arbash Meinel, #153493)
2108
2109
* Fix a problem with Win32 handling of the executable bit.
2110
(John Arbash Meinel, #149113)
2111
2112
* ``bzr+ssh://`` and ``sftp://`` URLs that do not specify ports explicitly
2113
no longer assume that means port 22. This allows people using OpenSSH to
2114
override the default port in their ``~/.ssh/config`` if they wish. This
2115
fixes a bug introduced in bzr 0.91. (Andrew Bennetts, #146715)
2116
2117
* Commands reporting exceptions can now be profiled and still have their
2118
data correctly dumped to a file. For example, a ``bzr commit`` with
2119
no changes still reports the operation as pointless but doing so no
2120
longer throws away the profiling data if this command is run with
2121
``--lsprof-file callgrind.out.ci`` say. (Ian Clatworthy)
2122
2123
* Fallback to ftp when paramiko is not installed and sftp can't be used for
2124
``tests/commands`` so that the test suite is still usable without
2125
paramiko.
2126
(Vincent Ladeuil, #59150)
2127
2128
* Fix commit ordering in corner case. (Aaron Bentley, #94975)
2129
2130
* Fix long standing bug in partial commit when there are renames
2131
left in tree. (Robert Collins, #140419)
2132
2133
* Fix selftest semi-random noise during http related tests.
2134
(Vincent Ladeuil, #140614)
2135
2136
* Fix typo in ftp.py making the reconnection fail on temporary errors.
2137
(Vincent Ladeuil, #154259)
2138
2139
* Fix failing test by comparing real paths to cover the case where the TMPDIR
2140
contains a symbolic link.
2141
(Vincent Ladeuil, #141382).
2142
2143
* Fix log against smart server branches that don't support tags.
2144
(James Westby, #140615)
2145
2146
* Fix pycurl http implementation by defining error codes from
2147
pycurl instead of relying on an old curl definition.
2148
(Vincent Ladeuil, #147530)
2149
2150
* Fix 'unprintable error' message when displaying BzrCheckError and
2151
some other exceptions on Python 2.5.
2152
(Martin Pool, #144633)
2153
2154
* Fix ``Inventory.copy()`` and add test for it. (Jelmer Vernooij)
2155
2156
* Handles default value for ListOption in cmd_commit.
2157
(Vincent Ladeuil, #140432)
2158
2159
* HttpServer and FtpServer need to be closed properly or a listening socket
2160
will remain opened.
2161
(Vincent Ladeuil, #140055)
2162
2163
* Monitor the .bzr directory created in the top level test
2164
directory to detect leaking tests.
2165
(Vincent Ladeuil, #147986)
2166
2167
* The basename, not the full path, is now used when checking whether
2168
the profiling dump file begins with ``callgrind.out`` or not. This
2169
fixes a bug reported by Aaron Bentley on IRC. (Ian Clatworthy)
2170
2171
* Trivial fix for invoking command ``reconfigure`` without arguments.
2172
(Rob Weir, #141629)
2173
2174
* ``WorkingTree.rename_one`` will now raise an error if normalisation of the
2175
new path causes bzr to be unable to access the file. (Robert Collins)
2176
2177
* Correctly detect a NoSuchFile when using a filezilla server. (Gary van der
2178
Merwe)
2179
2180
API BREAKS:
2181
2182
* ``bzrlib.index.GraphIndex`` now requires a size parameter to the
2183
constructor, for enabling bisection searches. (Robert Collins)
2184
2185
* ``CommitBuilder.record_entry_contents`` now requires the root entry of a
2186
tree be supplied to it, previously failing to do so would trigger a
2187
deprecation warning. (Robert Collins)
2188
2189
* ``KnitVersionedFile.add*`` will no longer cache added records even when
2190
enable_cache() has been called - the caching feature is now exclusively for
2191
reading existing data. (Robert Collins)
2192
2193
* ``ReadOnlyLockError`` is deprecated; ``LockFailed`` is usually more
2194
appropriate. (Martin Pool)
2195
2196
* Removed ``bzrlib.transport.TransportLogger`` - please see the new
2197
``trace+`` transport instead. (Robert Collins)
2198
2199
* Removed previously deprecated varargs interface to ``TestCase.run_bzr`` and
2200
deprecated methods ``TestCase.capture`` and ``TestCase.run_bzr_captured``.
2201
(Martin Pool)
2202
2203
* Removed previous deprecated ``basis_knit`` parameter to the
2204
``KnitVersionedFile`` constructor. (Robert Collins)
2205
2206
* Special purpose method ``TestCase.run_bzr_decode`` is moved to the test_non_ascii
2207
class that needs it.
2208
(Martin Pool)
2209
2210
* The class ``bzrlib.repofmt.knitrepo.KnitRepository3`` has been folded into
2211
``KnitRepository`` by parameters to the constructor. (Robert Collins)
2212
2213
* The ``VersionedFile`` interface now allows content checks to be bypassed
2214
by supplying check_content=False. This saves nearly 30% of the minimum
2215
cost to store a version of a file. (Robert Collins)
2216
2217
* Tree's with bad state such as files with no length or sha will no longer
2218
be silently accepted by the repository XML serialiser. To serialise
2219
inventories without such data, pass working=True to write_inventory.
2220
(Robert Collins)
2221
2222
* ``VersionedFile.fix_parents`` has been removed as a harmful API.
2223
``VersionedFile.join`` will no longer accept different parents on either
2224
side of a join - it will either ignore them, or error, depending on the
2225
implementation. See notes when upgrading for more information.
2226
(Robert Collins)
2227
2228
INTERNALS:
2229
2230
* ``bzrlib.transport.Transport.put_file`` now returns the number of bytes
2231
put by the method call, to allow avoiding stat-after-write or
2232
housekeeping in callers. (Robert Collins)
2233
2234
* ``bzrlib.xml_serializer.Serializer`` is now responsible for checking that
2235
mandatory attributes are present on serialisation and deserialisation.
2236
This fixes some holes in API usage and allows better separation between
2237
physical storage and object serialisation. (Robert Collins)
2238
2239
* New class ``bzrlib.errors.InternalBzrError`` which is just a convenient
2240
shorthand for deriving from BzrError and setting internal_error = True.
2241
(Robert Collins)
2242
2243
* New method ``bzrlib.mutabletree.update_to_one_parent_via_delta`` for
2244
moving the state of a parent tree to a new version via a delta rather than
2245
a complete replacement tree. (Robert Collins)
2246
2247
* New method ``bzrlib.osutils.minimum_path_selection`` useful for removing
2248
duplication from user input, when a user mentions both a path and an item
2249
contained within that path. (Robert Collins)
2250
2251
* New method ``bzrlib.repository.Repository.is_write_locked`` useful for
2252
determining if a repository is write locked. (Robert Collins)
2253
2254
* New method on ``bzrlib.tree.Tree`` ``path_content_summary`` provides a
2255
tuple containing the key information about a path for commit processing
2256
to complete. (Robert Collins)
2257
2258
* New method on xml serialisers, write_inventory_to_lines, which matches the
2259
API used by knits for adding content. (Robert Collins)
2260
2261
* New module ``bzrlib.bisect_multi`` with generic multiple-bisection-at-once
2262
logic, currently only available for byte-based lookup
2263
(``bisect_multi_bytes``). (Robert Collins)
2264
2265
* New helper ``bzrlib.tuned_gzip.bytes_to_gzip`` which takes a byte string
2266
and returns a gzipped version of the same. This is used to avoid a bunch
2267
of api friction during adding of knit hunks. (Robert Collins)
2268
2269
* New parameter on ``bzrlib.transport.Transport.readv``
2270
``adjust_for_latency`` which changes readv from returning strictly the
2271
requested data to inserted return larger ranges and in forward read order
2272
to reduce the effect of network latency. (Robert Collins)
2273
2274
* New parameter yield_parents on ``Inventory.iter_entries_by_dir`` which
2275
causes the parents of a selected id to be returned recursively, so all the
2276
paths from the root down to each element of selected_file_ids are
2277
returned. (Robert Collins)
2278
2279
* Knit joining has been enhanced to support plain to annotated conversion
2280
and annotated to plain conversion. (Ian Clatworthy)
2281
2282
* The CommitBuilder method ``record_entry_contents`` now returns summary
2283
information about the effect of the commit on the repository. This tuple
2284
contains an inventory delta item if the entry changed from the basis, and a
2285
boolean indicating whether a new file graph node was recorded.
2286
(Robert Collins)
2287
2288
* The python path used in the Makefile can now be overridden.
2289
(Andrew Bennetts, Ian Clatworthy)
2290
2291
TESTING:
2292
2293
* New transport implementation ``trace+`` which is useful for testing,
2294
logging activity taken to its _activity attribute. (Robert Collins)
2295
2296
* When running bzr commands within the test suite, internal exceptions are
2297
not caught and reported in the usual way, but rather allowed to propagate
2298
up and be visible to the test suite. A new API ``run_bzr_catch_user_errors``
2299
makes this behavior available to other users.
2300
(Martin Pool)
2301
2302
* New method ``TestCase.call_catch_warnings`` for testing methods that
2303
raises a Python warning. (Martin Pool)

2312
process if building of a C extension is not possible.
2313
(Lukáš Lalinský, Alexander Belchenko)
2314
2315
* Fix commit ordering in corner case (Aaron Bentley, #94975)
2316
2317
* Fix ''bzr info bzr://host/'' and other operations on ''bzr://' URLs with
2318
an implicit port. We were incorrectly raising PathNotChild due to
2319
inconsistent treatment of the ''_port'' attribute on the Transport object.
2320
(Andrew Bennetts, #133965)
2321
2322
* Make RemoteRepository.sprout cope gracefully with servers that don't

2337
CHANGES:
2338
2339
* The default branch and repository format has changed to
2340
``dirstate-tags``, so tag commands are active by default.
2341
This format is compatible with Bazaar 0.15 and later.
2342
This incidentally fixes bug #126141.
2343
(Martin Pool)
2344
2345
* ``--quiet`` or ``-q`` is no longer a global option. If present, it
2346
must now appear after the command name. Scripts doing things like
2347
``bzr -q missing`` need to be rewritten as ``bzr missing -q``.
2348
(Ian Clatworthy)
2349
2350
FEATURES:
2351
2352
* New option ``--author`` in ``bzr commit`` to specify the author of the
2353
change, if it's different from the committer. ``bzr log`` and
2354
``bzr annotate`` display the author instead of the committer.
2355
(Lukáš Lalinský)
2356
2357
* In addition to global options and command specific options, a set of
2358
standard options are now supported. Standard options are legal for
2359
all commands. The initial set of standard options are:
2360
2361
* ``--help`` or ``-h`` - display help message
2362
* ``--verbose`` or ``-v`` - display additional information
2363
* ``--quiet`` or ``-q`` - only output warnings and errors.
2364
2365
Unlike global options, standard options can be used in aliases and
2366
may have command-specific help. (Ian Clatworthy)
2367
2368
* Verbosity level processing has now been unified. If ``--verbose``
2369
or ``-v`` is specified on the command line multiple times, the
2370
verbosity level is made positive the first time then increased.
2371
If ``--quiet`` or ``-q`` is specified on the command line
2372
multiple times, the verbosity level is made negative the first
2373
time then decreased. To get the default verbosity level of zero,
2374
either specify none of the above , ``--no-verbose`` or ``--no-quiet``.
2375
Note that most commands currently ignore the magnitude of the
2376
verbosity level but do respect *quiet vs normal vs verbose* when
2377
generating output. (Ian Clatworthy)
2378
2379
* ``Branch.hooks`` now supports ``pre_commit`` hook. The hook's signature
2380
is documented in BranchHooks constructor. (Nam T. Nguyen, #102747)
2381
2382
* New ``Repository.stream_knit_data_for_revisions`` request added to the
2383
network protocol for greatly reduced roundtrips when retrieving a set of
2384
revisions. (Andrew Bennetts)
2385
2386
BUG FIXES:
2387
2388
* ``bzr plugins`` now lists the version number for each plugin in square
2389
brackets after the path. (Robert Collins, #125421)
2390
2391
* Pushing, pulling and branching branches with subtree references was not
2392
copying the subtree weave, preventing the file graph from being accessed
2393
and causing errors in commits in clones. (Robert Collins)
2394
2395
* Suppress warning "integer argument expected, got float" from Paramiko,
2396
which sometimes caused false test failures. (Martin Pool)
2397
2398
* Fix bug in bundle 4 that could cause attempts to write data to wrong
2399
versionedfile. (Aaron Bentley)
2400
2401
* Diffs generated using "diff -p" no longer break the patch parser.
2402
(Aaron Bentley)
2403
2404
* get_transport treats an empty possible_transports list the same as a non-
2405
empty one. (Aaron Bentley)
2406
2407
* patch verification for merge directives is reactivated, and works with
2408
CRLF and CR files. (Aaron Bentley)
2409
2410
* Accept ..\ as a path in revision specifiers. This fixes for example
2411
"-r branch:..\other-branch" on Windows. (Lukáš Lalinský)
2412
2413
* ``BZR_PLUGIN_PATH`` may now contain trailing slashes.
2414
(Blake Winton, #129299)
2415
2416
* man page no longer lists hidden options (#131667, Aaron Bentley)
2417
2418
* ``uncommit --help`` now explains the -r option adequately. (Daniel
2419
Watkins, #106726)
2420
2421
* Error messages are now better formatted with parameters (such as
2422
filenames) quoted when necessary. This avoids confusion when directory
2423
names ending in a '.' at the end of messages were confused with a
2424
full stop that may or not have been there. (Daniel Watkins, #129791)
2425
2426
* Fix ``status FILE -r X..Y``. (Lukáš Lalinský)
2427
2428
* If a particular command is an alias, ``help`` will show the alias
2429
instead of claiming there is no help for said alias. (Daniel Watkins,
2430
#133548)
2431
2432
* TreeTransform-based operations, like pull, merge, revert, and branch,
2433
now roll back if they encounter an error. (Aaron Bentley, #67699)
2434
2435
* ``bzr commit`` now exits cleanly if a character unsupported by the
2436
current encoding is used in the commit message. (Daniel Watkins,
2437
#116143)
2438
2439
* bzr send uses default values for ranges when only half of an elipsis
2440
is specified ("-r..5" or "-r5.."). (#61685, Aaron Bentley)
2441
2442
* Avoid trouble when Windows ssh calls itself 'plink' but no plink
2443
binary is present. (Martin Albisetti, #107155)
2444
2445
* ``bzr remove`` should remove clean subtrees. Now it will remove (without
2446
needing ``--force``) subtrees that contain no files with text changes or
2447
modified files. With ``--force`` it removes the subtree regardless of
2448
text changes or unknown files. Directories with renames in or out (but
2449
not changed otherwise) will now be removed without needing ``--force``.
2450
Unknown ignored files will be deleted without needing ``--force``.
2451
(Marius Kruger, #111665)
2452
2453
* When two plugins conflict, the source of both the losing and now the
2454
winning definition is shown. (Konstantin Mikhaylov, #5454)
2455
2456
* When committing to a branch, the location being committed to is
2457
displayed. (Daniel Watkins, #52479)
2458
2459
* ``bzr --version`` takes care about encoding of stdout, especially
2460
when output is redirected. (Alexander Belchenko, #131100)
2461
2462
* Prompt for an ftp password if none is provided.
2463
(Vincent Ladeuil, #137044)
2464
2465
* Reuse bound branch associated transport to avoid multiple
2466
connections.
2467
(Vincent Ladeuil, #128076, #131396)
2468
2469
* Overwrite conflicting tags by ``push`` and ``pull`` if the
2470
``--overwrite`` option is specified. (Lukáš Lalinský, #93947)
2471
2472
* In checkouts, tags are copied into the master branch when created,
2473
changed or deleted, and are copied into the checkout when it is
2474
updated. (Martin Pool, #93856, #93860)
2475
2476
* Print a warning instead of aborting the ``python setup.py install``
2477
process if building of a C extension is not possible.
2478
(Lukáš Lalinský, Alexander Belchenko)
2479
2480
IMPROVEMENTS:
2481
2482
* Add the option "--show-diff" to the commit command in order to display
2483
the diff during the commit log creation. (Goffredo Baroncelli)
2484
2485
* ``pull`` and ``merge`` are much faster at installing bundle format 4.
2486
(Aaron Bentley)
2487
2488
* ``pull -v`` no longer includes deltas, making it much faster.
2489
(Aaron Bentley)
2490
2491
* ``send`` now sends the directive as an attachment by default.
2492
(Aaron Bentley, Lukáš Lalinský, Alexander Belchenko)
2493
2494
* Documentation updates (Martin Albisetti)
2495
2496
* Help on debug flags is now included in ``help global-options``.
2497
(Daniel Watkins, #124853)
2498
2499
* Parameters passed on the command line are checked to ensure they are
2500
supported by the encoding in use. (Daniel Watkins)
2501
2502
* The compression used within the bzr repository has changed from zlib
2503
level 9 to the zlib default level. This improves commit performance with
2504
only a small increase in space used (and in some cases a reduction in
2505
space). (Robert Collins)
2506
2507
* Initial commit no longer SHAs files twice and now reuses the path
2508
rather than looking it up again, making it faster.
2509
(Ian Clatworthy)
2510
2511
* New option ``-c``/``--change`` for ``diff`` and ``status`` to show
2512
changes in one revision. (Lukáš Lalinský)
2513
2514
* If versioned files match a given ignore pattern, a warning is now
2515
given. (Daniel Watkins, #48623)
2516
2517
* ``bzr status`` now has -S as a short name for --short and -V as a
2518
short name for --versioned. These have been added to assist users
2519
migrating from Subversion: ``bzr status -SV`` is now like
2520
``svn status -q``. (Daniel Watkins, #115990)
2521
2522
* Added C implementation of ``PatienceSequenceMatcher``, which is about
2523
10x faster than the Python version. This speeds up commands that
2524
need file diffing, such as ``bzr commit`` or ``bzr diff``.
2525
(Lukáš Lalinský)
2526
2527
* HACKING has been extended with a large section on core developer tasks.
2528
(Ian Clatworthy)
2529
2530
* Add ``branches`` and ``standalone-trees`` as online help topics and
2531
include them as Concepts within the User Reference.
2532
(Paul Moore, Ian Clatworthy)
2533
2534
* ``check`` can detect versionedfile parent references that are
2535
inconsistent with revision and inventory info, and ``reconcile`` can fix
2536
them. These faulty references were generated by 0.8-era releases,
2537
so repositories which were manipulated by old bzrs should be
2538
checked, and possibly reconciled ASAP. (Aaron Bentley, Andrew Bennetts)
2539
2540
API BREAKS:
2541
2542
* ``Branch.append_revision`` is removed altogether; please use
2543
``Branch.set_last_revision_info`` instead. (Martin Pool)
2544
2545
* CommitBuilder now advertises itself as requiring the root entry to be
2546
supplied. This only affects foreign repository implementations which reuse
2547
CommitBuilder directly and have changed record_entry_contents to require
2548
that the root not be supplied. This should be precisely zero plugins
2549
affected. (Robert Collins)
2550
2551
* The ``add_lines`` methods on ``VersionedFile`` implementations has changed
2552
its return value to include the sha1 and length of the inserted text. This
2553
allows the avoidance of double-sha1 calculations during commit.
2554
(Robert Collins)
2555
2556
* ``Transport.should_cache`` has been removed. It was not called in the
2557
previous release. (Martin Pool)
2558
2559
TESTING:
2560
2561
* Tests may now raise TestNotApplicable to indicate they shouldn't be
2562
run in a particular scenario. (Martin Pool)
2563
2564
* New function multiply_tests_from_modules to give a simpler interface
2565
to test parameterization. (Martin Pool, Robert Collins)
2566
2567
* ``Transport.should_cache`` has been removed. It was not called in the
2568
previous release. (Martin Pool)
2569
2570
* NULL_REVISION is returned to indicate the null revision, not None.
2571
(Aaron Bentley)
2572
2573
* Use UTF-8 encoded StringIO for log tests to avoid failures on
2574
non-ASCII committer names. (Lukáš Lalinský)
2575
2576
INTERNALS:
2577
2578
* ``bzrlib.plugin.all_plugins`` has been deprecated in favour of
2579
``bzrlib.plugin.plugins()`` which returns PlugIn objects that provide
2580
useful functionality for determining the path of a plugin, its tests, and
2581
its version information. (Robert Collins)
2582
2583
* Add the option user_encoding to the function 'show_diff_trees()'
2584
in order to move the user encoding at the UI level. (Goffredo Baroncelli)
2585
2586
* Add the function make_commit_message_template_encoded() and the function
2587
edit_commit_message_encoded() which handle encoded strings.
2588
This is done in order to mix the commit messages (which is a unicode
2589
string), and the diff which is a raw string. (Goffredo Baroncelli)
2590
2591
* CommitBuilder now defaults to using add_lines_with_ghosts, reducing
2592
overhead on non-weave repositories which don't require all parents to be
2593
present. (Robert Collins)
2594
2595
* Deprecated method ``find_previous_heads`` on
2596
``bzrlib.inventory.InventoryEntry``. This has been superseded by the use
2597
of ``parent_candidates`` and a separate heads check via the repository
2598
API. (Robert Collins)
2599
2600
* New trace function ``mutter_callsite`` will print out a subset of the
2601
stack to the log, which can be useful for gathering debug details.
2602
(Robert Collins)
2603
2604
* ``bzrlib.pack.ContainerWriter`` now tracks how many records have been
2605
added via a public attribute records_written. (Robert Collins)
2606
2607
* New method ``bzrlib.transport.Transport.get_recommended_page_size``.
2608
This provides a hint to users of transports as to the reasonable
2609
minimum data to read. In principle this can take latency and
2610
bandwidth into account on a per-connection basis, but for now it
2611
just has hard coded values based on the url. (e.g. http:// has a large
2612
page size, file:// has a small one.) (Robert Collins)
2613
2614
* New method on ``bzrlib.transport.Transport`` ``open_write_stream`` allows
2615
incremental addition of data to a file without requiring that all the
2616
data be buffered in memory. (Robert Collins)
2617
2618
* New methods on ``bzrlib.knit.KnitVersionedFile``:
2619
``get_data_stream(versions)``, ``insert_data_stream(stream)`` and
2620
``get_format_signature()``. These provide some infrastructure for
2621
efficiently streaming the knit data for a set of versions over the smart
2622
protocol.
2623
2624
* Knits with no annotation cache still produce correct annotations.
2625
(Aaron Bentley)
2626
2627
* Three new methods have been added to ``bzrlib.trace``:
2628
``set_verbosity_level``, ``get_verbosity_level`` and ``is_verbose``.
2629
``set_verbosity_level`` expects a numeric value: negative for quiet,
2630
zero for normal, positive for verbose. The size of the number can be
2631
used to determine just how quiet or verbose the application should be.
2632
The existing ``be_quiet`` and ``is_quiet`` routines have been
2633
integrated into this new scheme. (Ian Clatworthy)
2634
2635
* Options can now be delcared with a ``custom_callback`` parameter. If
2636
set, this routine is called after the option is processed. This feature
2637
is now used by the standard options ``verbose`` and ``quiet`` so that
2638
setting one implicitly resets the other. (Ian Clatworthy)
2639
2640
* Rather than declaring a new option from scratch in order to provide
2641
custom help, a centrally registered option can be decorated using the
2642
new ``bzrlib.Option.custom_help`` routine. In particular, this routine
2643
is useful when declaring better help for the ``verbose`` and ``quiet``
2644
standard options as the base definition of these is now more complex
2645
than before thanks to their use of a custom callback. (Ian Clatworthy)
2646
2647
* Tree._iter_changes(specific_file=[]) now iterates through no files,
2648
instead of iterating through all files. None is used to iterate through
2649
all files. (Aaron Bentley)
2650
2651
* WorkingTree.revert() now accepts None to revert all files. The use of
2652
[] to revert all files is deprecated. (Aaron Bentley)
2653
2654
2655
bzr 0.90 2007-08-28
2656
-------------------
2657
2658
IMPROVEMENTS:
2659
2660
* Documentation is now organized into multiple directories with a level
2661
added for different languages or locales. Added the Mini Tutorial
2662
and Quick Start Summary (en) documents from the Wiki, improving the
2663
content and readability of the former. Formatted NEWS as Release Notes
2664
complete with a Table of Conents, one heading per release. Moved the
2665
Developer Guide into the main document catalog and provided a link
2666
from the developer document catalog back to the main one.
2667
(Ian Clatworthy, Sabin Iacob, Alexander Belchenko)
2668
2669
2670
API CHANGES:
2671
2672
* The static convenience method ``BzrDir.create_repository``
2673
is deprecated. Callers should instead create a ``BzrDir`` instance
2674
and call ``create_repository`` on that. (Martin Pool)
2675
2676
2677
bzr 0.90rc1 2007-08-14
2678
----------------------
2679
2680
BUGFIXES:
2681
2682
* ``bzr init`` should connect to the remote location one time only. We
2683
have been connecting several times because we forget to pass around the
2684
Transport object. This modifies ``BzrDir.create_branch_convenience``,
2685
so that we can give it the Transport we already have.
2686
(John Arbash Meinel, Vincent Ladeuil, #111702)
2687
2688
* Get rid of sftp connection cache (get rid of the FTP one too).
2689
(Vincent Ladeuil, #43731)
2690
2691
* bzr branch {local|remote} remote don't try to create a working tree
2692
anymore.
2693
(Vincent Ladeuil, #112173)
2694
2695
* All identified multiple connections for a single bzr command have been
2696
fixed. See bzrlib/tests/commands directory.
2697
(Vincent Ladeuil)
2698
2699
* ``bzr rm`` now does not insist on ``--force`` to delete files that
2700
have been renamed but not otherwise modified. (Marius Kruger,
2701
#111664)
2702
2703
* ``bzr selftest --bench`` no longer emits deprecation warnings
2704
(Lukáš Lalinský)
2705
2706
* ``bzr status`` now honours FILE parameters for conflict lists
2707
(Aaron Bentley, #127606)
2708
2709
* ``bzr checkout`` now honours -r when reconstituting a working tree.
2710
It also honours -r 0. (Aaron Bentley, #127708)
2711
2712
* ``bzr add *`` no more fails on Windows if working tree contains
2713
non-ascii file names. (Kuno Meyer, #127361)
2714
2715
* allow ``easy_install bzr`` runs without fatal errors.
2716
(Alexander Belchenko, #125521)
2717
2718
* Graph._filter_candidate_lca does not raise KeyError if a candidate
2719
is eliminated just before it would normally be examined. (Aaron Bentley)
2720
2721
* SMTP connection failures produce a nice message, not a traceback.
2722
(Aaron Bentley)
2723
2724
IMPROVEMENTS:
2725
2726
* Don't show "dots" progress indicators when run non-interactively, such
2727
as from cron. (Martin Pool)
2728
2729
* ``info`` now formats locations more nicely and lists "submit" and
2730
"public" branches (Aaron Bentley)
2731
2732
* New ``pack`` command that will trigger database compression within
2733
the repository (Robert Collins)
2734
2735
* Implement ``_KnitIndex._load_data`` in a pyrex extension. The pyrex
2736
version is approximately 2-3x faster at parsing a ``.kndx`` file.
2737
Which yields a measurable improvement for commands which have to
2738
read from the repository, such as a 1s => 0.75s improvement in
2739
``bzr diff`` when there are changes to be shown. (John Arbash Meinel)
2740
2741
* Merge is now faster. Depending on the scenario, it can be more than 2x
2742
faster. (Aaron Bentley)
2743
2744
* Give a clearer warning, and allow ``python setup.py install`` to
2745
succeed even if pyrex is not available.
2746
(John Arbash Meinel)
2747
2748
* ``DirState._read_dirblocks`` now has an optional Pyrex
2749
implementation. This improves the speed of any command that has to
2750
read the entire DirState. (``diff``, ``status``, etc, improve by
2751
about 10%).
2752
``bisect_dirblocks`` has also been improved, which helps all
2753
``_get_entry`` type calls (whenever we are searching for a
2754
particular entry in the in-memory DirState).
2755
(John Arbash Meinel)
2756
2757
* ``bzr pull`` and ``bzr push`` no longer do a complete walk of the
2758
branch revision history for ui display unless -v is supplied.
2759
(Robert Collins)
2760
2761
* ``bzr log -rA..B`` output shifted to the left margin if the log only
2762
contains merge revisions. (Kent Gibson)
2763
2764
* The ``plugins`` command is now public with improved help.
2765
(Ian Clatworthy)
2766
2767
* New bundle and merge directive formats are faster to generate, and
2768
2769
* Annotate merge now works when there are local changes. (Aaron Bentley)
2770
2771
* Commit now only shows the progress in terms of directories instead of
2772
entries. (Ian Clatworthy)
2773
2774
* Fix ``KnitRepository.get_revision_graph`` to not request the graph 2
2775
times. This makes ``get_revision_graph`` 2x faster. (John Arbash
2776
Meinel)
2777
2778
* Fix ``VersionedFile.get_graph()`` to avoid using
2779
``set.difference_update(other)``, which has bad scaling when
2780
``other`` is large. This improves ``VF.get_graph([version_id])`` for
2781
a 12.5k graph from 2.9s down to 200ms. (John Arbash Meinel)
2782
2783
* The ``--lsprof-file`` option now generates output for KCacheGrind if
2784
the file starts with ``callgrind.out``. This matches the default file
2785
filtering done by KCacheGrind's Open Dialog. (Ian Clatworthy)
2786
2787
* Fix ``bzr update`` to avoid an unnecessary
2788
``branch.get_master_branch`` call, which avoids 1 extra connection
2789
to the remote server. (Partial fix for #128076, John Arbash Meinel)
2790
2791
* Log errors from the smart server in the trace file, to make debugging
2792
test failures (and live failures!) easier. (Andrew Bennetts)
2793
2794
* The HTML version of the man page has been superceded by a more
2795
comprehensive manual called the Bazaar User Reference. This manual
2796
is completed generated from the online help topics. As part of this
2797
change, limited reStructuredText is now explicitly supported in help
2798
topics and command help with 'unnatural' markup being removed prior
2799
to display by the online help or inclusion in the man page.
2800
(Ian Clatworthy)
2801
2802
* HTML documentation now use files extension ``*.html``
2803
(Alexander Belchenko)
2804
2805
* The cache of ignore definitions is now cleared in WorkingTree.unlock()
2806
so that changes to .bzrignore aren't missed. (#129694, Daniel Watkins)
2807
2808
* ``bzr selftest --strict`` fails if there are any missing features or
2809
expected test failures. (Daniel Watkins, #111914)
2810
2811
* Link to registration survey added to README. (Ian Clatworthy)
2812
2813
* Windows standalone installer show link to registration survey
2814
when installation finished. (Alexander Belchenko)
2815
2816
LIBRARY API BREAKS:
2817
2818
* Deprecated dictionary ``bzrlib.option.SHORT_OPTIONS`` removed.
2819
Options are now required to provide a help string and it must
2820
comply with the style guide by being one or more sentences with an
2821
initial capital and final period. (Martin Pool)
2822
2823
* KnitIndex.get_parents now returns tuples. (Robert Collins)
2824
2825
* Ancient unused ``Repository.text_store`` attribute has been removed.
2826
(Robert Collins)
2827
2828
* The ``bzrlib.pack`` interface has changed to use tuples of bytestrings
2829
rather than just bytestrings, making it easier to represent multiple
2830
element names. As this interface was not used by any internal facilities
2831
since it was introduced in 0.18 no API compatibility is being preserved.
2832
The serialised form of these packs is identical with 0.18 when a single
2833
element tuple is in use. (Robert Collins)
2834
2835
INTERNALS:
2836
2837
* merge now uses ``iter_changes`` to calculate changes, which makes room for
2838
future performance increases. It is also more consistent with other
2839
operations that perform comparisons, and reduces reliance on
2840
Tree.inventory. (Aaron Bentley)
2841
2842
* Refactoring of transport classes connected to a remote server.
2843
ConnectedTransport is a new class that serves as a basis for all
2844
transports needing to connect to a remote server. transport.split_url
2845
have been deprecated, use the static method on the object instead. URL
2846
tests have been refactored too.
2847
(Vincent Ladeuil)
2848
2849
* Better connection sharing for ConnectedTransport objects.
2850
transport.get_transport() now accepts a 'possible_transports' parameter.
2851
If a newly requested transport can share a connection with one of the
2852
list, it will.
2853
(Vincent Ladeuil)
2854
2855
* Most functions now accept ``bzrlib.revision.NULL_REVISION`` to indicate
2856
the null revision, and consider using ``None`` for this purpose
2857
deprecated. (Aaron Bentley)
2858
2859
* New ``index`` module with abstract index functionality. This will be
2860
used during the planned changes in the repository layer. Currently the
2861
index layer provides a graph aware immutable index, a builder for the
2862
same index type to allow creating them, and finally a composer for
2863
such indices to allow the use of many indices in a single query. The
2864
index performance is not optimised, however the API is stable to allow
2865
development on top of the index. (Robert Collins)
2866
2867
* ``bzrlib.dirstate.cmp_by_dirs`` can be used to compare two paths by
2868
their directory sections. This is equivalent to comparing
2869
``path.split('/')``, only without having to split the paths.
2870
This has a Pyrex implementation available.
2871
(John Arbash Meinel)
2872
2873
* New transport decorator 'unlistable+' which disables the list_dir
2874
functionality for testing.
2875
2876
* Deprecated ``change_entry`` in transform.py. (Ian Clatworthy)
2877
2878
* RevisionTree.get_weave is now deprecated. Tree.plan_merge is now used
2879
for performing annotate-merge. (Aaron Bentley)
2880
2881
* New EmailMessage class to create email messages. (Adeodato Simó)
2882
2883
* Unused functions on the private interface KnitIndex have been removed.
2884
(Robert Collins)
2885
2886
* New ``knit.KnitGraphIndex`` which provides a ``KnitIndex`` layered on top
2887
of a ``index.GraphIndex``. (Robert Collins)
2888
2889
* New ``knit.KnitVersionedFile.iter_parents`` method that allows querying
2890
the parents of many knit nodes at once, reducing round trips to the
2891
underlying index. (Robert Collins)
2892
2893
* Graph now has an is_ancestor method, various bits use it.
2894
(Aaron Bentley)
2895
2896
* The ``-Dhpss`` flag now includes timing information. As well as
2897
logging when a new connection is opened. (John Arbash Meinel)
2898
2899
* ``bzrlib.pack.ContainerWriter`` now returns an offset, length tuple to
2900
callers when inserting data, allowing generation of readv style access
2901
during pack creation, without needing a separate pass across the output
2902
pack to gather such details. (Robert Collins)
2903
2904
* ``bzrlib.pack.make_readv_reader`` allows readv based access to pack
2905
files that are stored on a transport. (Robert Collins)
2906
2907
* New ``Repository.has_same_location`` method that reports if two
2908
repository objects refer to the same repository (although with some risk
2909
of false negatives). (Andrew Bennetts)
2910
2911
* InterTree.compare now passes require_versioned on correctly.
2912
(Marius Kruger)
2913
2914
* New methods on Repository - ``start_write_group``,
2915
``commit_write_group``, ``abort_write_group`` and ``is_in_write_group`` -
2916
which provide a clean hook point for transactional Repositories - ones
2917
where all the data for a fetch or commit needs to be made atomically
2918
available in one step. This allows the write lock to remain while making
2919
a series of data insertions. (e.g. data conversion). (Robert Collins)
2920
2921
* In ``bzrlib.knit`` the internal interface has been altered to use
2922
3-tuples (index, pos, length) rather than two-tuples (pos, length) to
2923
describe where data in a knit is, allowing knits to be split into
2924
many files. (Robert Collins)
2925
2926
* ``bzrlib.knit._KnitData`` split into cache management and physical access
2927
with two access classes - ``_PackAccess`` and ``_KnitAccess`` defined.
2928
The former provides access into a .pack file, and the latter provides the
2929
current production repository form of .knit files. (Robert Collins)
2930
2931
TESTING:
2932
2933
* Remove selftest ``--clean-output``, ``--numbered-dirs`` and
2934
``--keep-output`` options, which are obsolete now that tests
2935
are done within directories in $TMPDIR. (Martin Pool)
2936
2937
* The SSH_AUTH_SOCK environment variable is now reset to avoid
2938
interaction with any running ssh agents. (Jelmer Vernooij, #125955)
2939
2940
* run_bzr_subprocess handles parameters the same way as run_bzr:
2941
either a string or a list of strings should be passed as the first
2942
parameter. Varargs-style parameters are deprecated. (Aaron Bentley)

2958
* Do not suppress pipe errors, etc. in non-display commands
2959
(Alexander Belchenko, #87178)
2960
2961
* Display a useful error message when the user requests to annotate
2962
a file that is not present in the specified revision.
2963
(James Westby, #122656)
2964
2965
* Commands that use status flags now have a reference to 'help

* Fix handling of http code 400: Bad Request When issuing too many ranges.
2980
(Vincent Ladeuil, #115209)

2983
via a proxy to enable SSL tunneling.
2984
(Vincent Ladeuil, #120678)
2985
2986
* Fix ``bzr log -r`` to support selecting merge revisions, both
2987
individually and as part of revision ranges.
2988
(Kent Gibson, #4663)
2989
2990
* Don't leave cruft behind when failing to acquire a lockdir.
2991
(Martin Pool, #109169)
2992
2993
* Don't use the '-f' strace option during tests.
2994
(Vincent Ladeuil, #102019).
2995
2996
* Warn when setting ``push_location`` to a value that will be masked by
2997
locations.conf. (Aaron Bentley, #122286)
2998
2999
* Fix commit ordering in corner case (Aaron Bentley, #94975)
3000
3001
* Make annotate behave in a non-ASCII world (Adeodato Simó).
3002
3003
IMPROVEMENTS:
3004
3005
* The --lsprof-file option now dumps a text rendering of the profiling
3006
information if the filename ends in ".txt". It will also convert the
3007
profiling information to a format suitable for KCacheGrind if the
3008
output filename ends in ".callgrind". Fixes to the lsprofcalltree
3009
conversion process by Jean Paul Calderone and Itamar were also merged.
3010
See http://ddaa.net/blog/python/lsprof-calltree. (Ian Clatworthy)
3011
3012
* ``info`` now defaults to non-verbose mode, displaying only paths and
3013
abbreviated format info. ``info -v`` displays all the information
3014
formerly displayed by ``info``. (Aaron Bentley, Adeodato Simó)
3015
3016
* ``bzr missing`` now has better option names ``--this`` and ``--other``.
3017
(Elliot Murphy)
3018
3019
* The internal ``weave-list`` command has become ``versionedfile-list``,
3020
and now lists knits as well as weaves. (Aaron Bentley)
3021
3022
* Automatic merge base selection uses a faster algorithm that chooses
3023
better bases in criss-cross merge situations (Aaron Bentley)
3024
3025
* Progress reporting in ``commit`` has been improved. The various logical
3026
stages are now reported on as follows, namely:
3027
3028
* Collecting changes [Entry x/y] - Stage n/m
3029
* Saving data locally - Stage n/m
3030
* Uploading data to master branch - Stage n/m
3031
* Updating the working tree - Stage n/m
3032
* Running post commit hooks - Stage n/m
3033
3034
If there is no master branch, the 3rd stage is omitted and the total
3035
number of stages is adjusted accordingly.
3036
3037
Each hook that is run after commit is listed with a name (as hooks
3038
can be slow it is useful feedback).
3039
(Ian Clatworthy, Robert Collins)
3040
3041
* Various operations that are now faster due to avoiding unnecessary
3042
topological sorts. (Aaron Bentley)
3043
3044
* Make merge directives robust against broken bundles. (Aaron Bentley)
3045
3046
* The lsprof filename note is emitted via trace.note(), not standard
3047
output. (Aaron Bentley)
3048
3049
* ``bzrlib`` now exports explicit API compatibility information to assist
3050
library users and plugins. See the ``bzrlib.api`` module for details.
3051
(Robert Collins)
3052
3053
* Remove unnecessary lock probes when acquiring a lockdir.
3054
(Martin Pool)
3055
3056
* ``bzr --version`` now shows the location of the bzr log file, which
3057
is especially useful on Windows. (Martin Pool)
3058
3059
* -D now supports hooks to get debug tracing of hooks (though its currently
3060
minimal in nature). (Robert Collins)
3061
3062
* Long log format reports deltas on merge revisions.
3063
(John Arbash Meinel, Kent Gibson)
3064
3065
* Make initial push over ftp more resilient. (John Arbash Meinel)
3066
3067
* Print a summary of changes for update just like pull does.
3068
(Daniel Watkins, #113990)
3069
3070
* Add a -Dhpss option to trace smart protocol requests and responses.
3071
(Andrew Bennetts)
3072
3073
LIBRARY API BREAKS:
3074
3075
* Testing cleanups -
3076
``bzrlib.repository.RepositoryTestProviderAdapter`` has been moved
3077
to ``bzrlib.tests.repository_implementations``;
3078
``bzrlib.repository.InterRepositoryTestProviderAdapter`` has been moved
3079
to ``bzrlib.tests.interrepository_implementations``;
3080
``bzrlib.transport.TransportTestProviderAdapter`` has moved to
3081
``bzrlib.tests.test_transport_implementations``.
3082
``bzrlib.branch.BranchTestProviderAdapter`` has moved to
3083
``bzrlib.tests.branch_implementations``.
3084
``bzrlib.bzrdir.BzrDirTestProviderAdapter`` has moved to
3085
``bzrlib.tests.bzrdir_implementations``.
3086
``bzrlib.versionedfile.InterVersionedFileTestProviderAdapter`` has moved
3087
to ``bzrlib.tests.interversionedfile_implementations``.
3088
``bzrlib.store.revision.RevisionStoreTestProviderAdapter`` has moved to
3089
``bzrlib.tests.revisionstore_implementations``.
3090
``bzrlib.workingtree.WorkingTreeTestProviderAdapter`` has moved to
3091
``bzrlib.tests.workingtree_implementations``.
3092
These changes are an API break in the testing infrastructure only.
3093
(Robert Collins)
3094
3095
* Relocate TestCaseWithRepository to be more central. (Robert Collins)
3096
3097
* ``bzrlib.add.smart_add_tree`` will no longer perform glob expansion on
3098
win32. Callers of the function should do this and use the new
3099
``MutableTree.smart_add`` method instead. (Robert Collins)
3100
3101
* ``bzrlib.add.glob_expand_for_win32`` is now
3102
``bzrlib.win32utils.glob_expand``. (Robert Collins)
3103
3104
* ``bzrlib.add.FastPath`` is now private and moved to
3105
``bzrlib.mutabletree._FastPath``. (Robert Collins, Martin Pool)
3106
3107
* ``LockDir.wait`` removed. (Martin Pool)
3108
3109
* The ``SmartServer`` hooks API has changed for the ``server_started`` and
3110
``server_stopped`` hooks. The first parameter is now an iterable of
3111
backing URLs rather than a single URL. This is to reflect that many
3112
URLs may map to the external URL of the server. E.g. the server interally
3113
may have a chrooted URL but also the local file:// URL will be at the
3114
same location. (Robert Collins)
3115
3116
INTERNALS:
3117
3118
* New SMTPConnection class to unify email handling. (Adeodato Simó)
3119
3120
* Fix documentation of BzrError. (Adeodato Simó)
3121
3122
* Make BzrBadParameter an internal error. (Adeodato Simó)
3123
3124
* Remove use of 'assert False' to raise an exception unconditionally.
3125
(Martin Pool)
3126
3127
* Give a cleaner error when failing to decode knit index entry.
3128
(Martin Pool)
3129
3130
* TreeConfig would mistakenly search the top level when asked for options
3131
from a section. It now respects the section argument and only
3132
searches the specified section. (James Westby)
3133
3134
* Improve ``make api-docs`` output. (John Arbash Meinel)
3135
3136
* Use os.lstat rather than os.stat for osutils.make_readonly and
3137
osutils.make_writeable. This makes the difftools plugin more
3138
robust when dangling symlinks are found. (Elliot Murphy)
3139
3140
* New ``-Dlock`` option to log (to ~/.bzr.log) information on when
3141
lockdirs are taken or released. (Martin Pool)
3142
3143
* ``bzrlib`` Hooks are now nameable using ``Hooks.name_hook``. This
3144
allows a nicer UI when hooks are running as the current hook can
3145
be displayed. (Robert Collins)
3146
3147
* ``Transport.get`` has had its interface made more clear for ease of use.
3148
Retrieval of a directory must now fail with either 'PathError' at open
3149
time, or raise 'ReadError' on a read. (Robert Collins)
3150
3151
* New method ``_maybe_expand_globs`` on the ``Command`` class for
3152
dealing with unexpanded glob lists - e.g. on the win32 platform. This
3153
was moved from ``bzrlib.add._prepare_file_list``. (Robert Collins)
3154
3155
* ``bzrlib.add.smart_add`` and ``bzrlib.add.smart_add_tree`` are now
3156
deprecated in favour of ``MutableTree.smart_add``. (Robert Collins,
3157
Martin Pool)
3158
3159
* New method ``external_url`` on Transport for obtaining the url to
3160
hand to external processes. (Robert Collins)
3161
3162
* Teach windows installers to build pyrex/C extensions.
3163
(Alexander Belchenko)
3164
3165
TESTING:
3166
3167
* Removed the ``--keep-output`` option from selftest and clean up test
3168
directories as they're used. This reduces the IO load from
3169
running the test suite and cuts the time by about half.
3170
(Andrew Bennetts, Martin Pool)
3171
3172
* Add scenarios as a public attribute on the TestAdapter classes to allow
3173
modification of the generated scenarios before adaption and easier
3174
testing. (Robert Collins)
3175
3176
* New testing support class ``TestScenarioApplier`` which multiplies
3177
out a single teste by a list of supplied scenarios. (RobertCollins)
3178
3179
* Setting ``repository_to_test_repository`` on a repository_implementations
3180
test will cause it to be called during repository creation, allowing the
3181
testing of repository classes which are not based around the Format
3182
concept. For example a repository adapter can be tested in this manner,
3183
by altering the repository scenarios to include a scenario that sets this
3184
attribute during the test parameterisation in
3185
``bzrlib.tests.repository.repository_implementations``. (Robert Collins)
3186
3187
* Clean up many of the APIs for blackbox testing of Bazaar. The standard
3188
interface is now self.run_bzr. The command to run can be passed as
3189
either a list of parameters, a string containing the command line, or
3190
(deprecated) varargs parameters. (Martin Pool)
3191
3192
* The base TestCase now isolates tests from -D parameters by clearing
3193
``debug.debug_flags`` and restores it afterwards. (Robert Collins)
3194
3195
* Add a relpath parameter to get_transport methods in test framework to
3196
avoid useless cloning.

NOTES WHEN UPGRADING:
3216
3217
* The kind() and is_executable() APIs on the WorkingTree interface no
3218
longer implicitly (read) locks and unlocks the tree. This *might*
3219
impact some plug-ins and tools using this part of the API. If you find
3220
an issue that may be caused by this change, please let us know,
3221
particularly the plug-in/tool maintainer. If encountered, the API
3222
fix is to surround kind() and is_executable() calls with lock_read()
3223
and unlock() like so::
3224
3225
work_tree.lock_read()
3226
try:
3227
kind = work_tree.kind(...)
3228
finally:
3229
work_tree.unlock()
3230
3231
INTERNALS:
3232
* Rework of LogFormatter API to provide beginning/end of log hooks and to
3233
encapsulate the details of the revision to be logged in a LogRevision
3234
object.
3235
In long log formats, merge revision ids are only shown when --show-ids
3236
is specified, and are labelled "revision-id:", as per mainline
3237
revisions, instead of "merged:". (Kent Gibson)
3238
3239
* New ``BranchBuilder`` API which allows the construction of particular
3240
histories quickly. Useful for testing and potentially other applications
3241
too. (Robert Collins)
3242
3243
IMPROVEMENTS:
3244
3245
* There are two new help topics, working-trees and repositories that
3246
attempt to explain these concepts. (James Westby, John Arbash Meinel,
3247

3249
* Added ``bzr log --limit`` to report a limited number of revisions.
3250
(Kent Gibson, #3659)
3251
3252
* Revert does not try to preserve file contents that were originally
3253
produced by reverting to a historical revision. (Aaron Bentley)
3254
3255
* ``bzr log --short`` now includes ``[merge]`` for revisions which
3256
have more than one parent. This is a small improvement to help
3257
understanding what changes have occurred
3258
(John Arbash Meinel, #83887)
3259
3260
* TreeTransform avoids many renames when contructing large trees,
3261
improving speed. 3.25x speedups have been observed for construction of
3262
kernel-sized-trees, and checkouts are 1.28x faster. (Aaron Bentley)
3263
3264
* Commit on large trees is now faster. In my environment, a commit of
3265
a small change to the Mozilla tree (55k files) has dropped from
3266
66 seconds to 32 seconds. For a small tree of 600 files, commit of a
3267
small change is 33% faster. (Ian Clatworthy)
3268
3269
* New --create-prefix option to bzr init, like for push. (Daniel Watkins,
3270
#56322)
3271
3272
BUGFIXES:
3273
3274
* ``bzr push`` should only connect to the remote location one time.
3275
We have been connecting 3 times because we forget to pass around
3276
the Transport object. This adds ``BzrDir.clone_on_transport()``, so
3277
that we can pass in the Transport that we already have.
3278
(John Arbash Meinel, #75721)
3279
3280
* ``DirState.set_state_from_inventory()`` needs to properly order
3281
based on split paths, not just string paths.
3282
(John Arbash Meinel, #115947)
3283
3284
* Let TestUIFactoy encode the password prompt with its own stdout.
3285
(Vincent Ladeuil, #110204)
3286
3287
* pycurl should take use the range header that takes the range hint
3288
into account.
3289
(Vincent Ladeuil, #112719)
3290
3291
* WorkingTree4.get_file_sha1 no longer raises an exception when invoked
3292
on a missing file. (Aaron Bentley, #118186)
3293
3294
* WorkingTree.remove works correctly with tree references, and when pwd is
3295
not the tree root. (Aaron Bentley)
3296
3297
* Merge no longer fails when a file is renamed in one tree and deleted
3298
in the other. (Aaron Bentley, #110279)
3299
3300
* ``revision-info`` now accepts dotted revnos, doesn't require a tree,
3301
and defaults to the last revision (Matthew Fuller, #90048)
3302
3303
* Tests no longer fail when BZR_REMOTE_PATH is set in the environment.
3304
(Daniel Watkins, #111958)
3305
3306
* ``bzr branch -r revid:foo`` can be used to branch any revision in
3307
your repository. (Previously Branch6 only supported revisions in your
3308
mainline). (John Arbash Meinel, #115343)

bzr 0.16 2007-05-07
3311
--------------------
3312
3313
BUGFIXES:
3314
3315
* Handle when you have 2 directories with similar names, but one has a
3316
hyphen. (``'abc'`` versus ``'abc-2'``). The WT4._iter_changes
3317
iterator was using direct comparison and ``'abc/a'`` sorts after
3318
``'abc-2'``, but ``('abc', 'a')`` sorts before ``('abc-2',)``.
3319
(John Arbash Meinel, #111227)
3320
3321
* Handle when someone renames a file on disk without telling bzr.
3322
Previously we would report the first file as missing, but not show
3323
the new unknown file. (John Arbash Meinel, #111288)
3324
3325
* Avoid error when running hooks after pulling into or pushing from
3326
a branch bound to a smartserver branch. (Martin Pool, #111968)
3327
3328
IMPROVEMENTS:
3329
3330
* Move developer documentation to doc/developers/. This reduces clutter in
3331
the root of the source tree and allows HACKING to be split into multiple
3332
files. (Robert Collins, Alexander Belchenko)
3333
3334
* Clean up the ``WorkingTree4._iter_changes()`` internal loops as well as
3335
``DirState.update_entry()``. This optimizes the core logic for ``bzr
3336
diff`` and ``bzr status`` significantly improving the speed of
3337
both. (John Arbash Meinel)
3338
3339
bzr 0.16rc2 2007-04-30
3340
-----------------------
3341
3342
BUGFIXES:
3343
3344
* Handle the case when you delete a file, and then rename another file
3345
on top of it. Also handle the case of ``bzr rm --keep foo``. ``bzr
3346
status`` should show the removed file and an unknown file in its
3347
place. (John Arbash Meinel, #109993)
3348
3349
* Bundles properly read and write revision properties that have an
3350
empty value. And when the value is not ASCII.
3351
(John Arbash Meinel, #109613)
3352
3353
* Fix the bzr commit message to be in text mode.
3354
(Alexander Belchenko, #110901)
3355
3356
* Also handle when you rename a file and create a file where it used
3357
to be. (John Arbash Meinel, #110256)
3358
3359
* ``WorkingTree4._iter_changes`` should not descend into unversioned
3360
directories. (John Arbash Meinel, #110399)
3361
3362
bzr 0.16rc1 2007-04-26
3363
-----------------------
3364
3365
NOTES WHEN UPGRADING:
3366
3367
* ``bzr remove`` and ``bzr rm`` will now remove the working file, if
3368
it could be recovered again.
3369
This has been done for consistency with svn and the unix rm command.
3370
The old ``remove`` behaviour has been retained in the new option
3371
``bzr remove --keep``, which will just stop versioning the file,
3372
but not delete it.
3373
``bzr remove --force`` have been added which will always delete the
3374
files.
3375
``bzr remove`` is also more verbose.
3376
(Marius Kruger, #82602)
3377
3378
IMPROVEMENTS:
3379
3380
* Merge directives can now be supplied as input to `merge` and `pull`,
3381
like bundles can. (Aaron Bentley)
3382
3383
* Sending the SIGQUIT signal to bzr, which can be done on Unix by
3384
pressing Control-Backslash, drops bzr into a debugger. Type ``'c'``
3385
to continue. This can be disabled by setting the environment variable
3386
``BZR_SIGQUIT_PDB=0``. (Martin Pool)
3387
3388
* selftest now supports --list-only to list tests instead of running
3389
them. (Ian Clatworthy)
3390
3391
* selftest now supports --exclude PATTERN (or -x PATTERN) to exclude
3392
tests with names that match that regular expression.
3393
(Ian Clatworthy, #102679)
3394
3395
* selftest now supports --randomize SEED to run tests in a random order.
3396
SEED is typically the value 'now' meaning 'use the current time'.
3397
(Ian Clatworthy, #102686)
3398
3399
* New option ``--fixes`` to commit, which stores bug fixing annotations as
3400
revision properties. Built-in support for Launchpad, Debian, Trac and
3401
Bugzilla bug trackers. (Jonathan Lange, James Henstridge, Robert Collins)
3402
3403
* New API, ``bzrlib.bugtracker.tracker_registry``, for adding support for
3404
other bug trackers to ``fixes``. (Jonathan Lange, James Henstridge,
3405
Robert Collins)
3406
3407
* ``selftest`` has new short options ``-f`` and ``-1``. (Martin
3408
Pool)
3409
3410
* ``bzrlib.tsort.MergeSorter`` optimizations. Change the inner loop
3411
into using local variables instead of going through ``self._var``.
3412
Improves the time to ``merge_sort`` a 10k revision graph by
3413
approximately 40% (~700->400ms). (John Arbash Meinel)
3414
3415
* ``make docs`` now creates a man page at ``man1/bzr.1`` fixing bug 107388.
3416
(Robert Collins)
3417
3418
* ``bzr help`` now provides cross references to other help topics using
3419
the _see_also facility on command classes. Likewise the bzr_man
3420
documentation, and the bzr.1 man page also include this information.
3421
(Robert Collins)
3422
3423
* Tags are now included in logs, that use the long log formatter.
3424
(Erik Bågfors, Alexander Belchenko)
3425
3426
* ``bzr help`` provides a clearer message when a help topic cannot be
3427
found. (Robert Collins, #107656)
3428
3429
* ``bzr help`` now accepts optional prefixes for command help. The help
3430
for all commands can now be found at ``bzr help commands/COMMANDNAME``
3431
as well as ``bzr help COMMANDNAME`` (which only works for commands
3432
where the name is not the same as a more general help topic).
3433
(Robert Collins)
3434
3435
* ``bzr help PLUGINNAME`` will now return the module docstring from the
3436
plugin PLUGINNAME. (Robert Collins, #50408)
3437
3438
* New help topic ``urlspec`` which lists the availables transports.
3439
(Goffredo Baroncelli)
3440
3441
* doc/server.txt updated to document the default bzr:// port
3442
and also update the blurb about the hpss' current status.
3443
(Robert Collins, #107125).
3444
3445
* ``bzr serve`` now listens on interface 0.0.0.0 by default, making it
3446
serve out to the local LAN (and anyone in the world that can reach the
3447
machine running ``bzr serve``. (Robert Collins, #98918)
3448
3449
* A new smart server protocol version has been added. It prefixes requests
3450
and responses with an explicit version identifier so that future protocol
3451
revisions can be dealt with gracefully. (Andrew Bennetts, Robert Collins)
3452
3453
* The bzr protocol version 2 indicates success or failure in every response
3454
without depending on particular commands encoding that consistently,
3455
allowing future client refactorings to be much more robust about error
3456
handling. (Robert Collins, Martin Pool, Andrew Bennetts)
3457
3458
* The smart protocol over HTTP client has been changed to always post to the
3459
same ``.bzr/smart`` URL under the original location when it can. This allows
3460
HTTP servers to only have to pass URLs ending in .bzr/smart to the smart
3461
server handler, and not arbitrary ``.bzr/*/smart`` URLs. (Andrew Bennetts)
3462
3463
* digest authentication is now supported for proxies and HTTP by the urllib
3464
based http implementation. Tested against Apache 2.0.55 and Squid
3465
2.6.5. Basic and digest authentication are handled coherently for HTTP
3466
and proxy: if the user is provided in the url (bzr command line for HTTP,
3467
proxy environment variables for proxies), the password is prompted for
3468
(only once). If the password is provided, it is taken into account. Once
3469
the first authentication is successful, all further authentication
3470
roundtrips are avoided by preventively setting the right authentication
3471
header(s).
3472
(Vincent Ladeuil).
3473
3474
INTERNALS:
3475
3476
* bzrlib API compatability with 0.8 has been dropped, cleaning up some
3477
code paths. (Robert Collins)
3478
3479
* Change the format of chroot urls so that they can be safely manipulated
3480
by generic url utilities without causing the resulting urls to have
3481
escaped the chroot. A side effect of this is that creating a chroot
3482
requires an explicit action using a ChrootServer.
3483
(Robert Collins, Andrew Bennetts)
3484
3485
* Deprecate ``Branch.get_root_id()`` because branches don't have root ids,
3486
rather than fixing bug #96847. (Aaron Bentley)
3487
3488
* ``WorkingTree.apply_inventory_delta`` provides a better alternative to
3489
``WorkingTree._write_inventory``. (Aaron Bentley)
3490
3491
* Convenience method ``TestCase.expectFailure`` ensures that known failures
3492
do not silently pass. (Aaron Bentley)
3493
3494
* ``Transport.local_abspath`` now raises ``NotLocalUrl`` rather than
3495
``TransportNotPossible``. (Martin Pool, Ian Clatworthy)
3496
3497
* New SmartServer hooks facility. There are two initial hooks documented
3498
in ``bzrlib.transport.smart.SmartServerHooks``. The two initial hooks allow
3499
plugins to execute code upon server startup and shutdown.
3500
(Robert Collins).
3501
3502
* SmartServer in standalone mode will now close its listening socket
3503
when it stops, rather than waiting for garbage collection. This primarily
3504
fixes test suite hangs when a test tries to connect to a shutdown server.
3505
It may also help improve behaviour when dealing with a server running
3506
on a specific port (rather than dynamically assigned ports).
3507
(Robert Collins)
3508
3509
* Move most SmartServer code into a new package, bzrlib/smart.
3510
bzrlib/transport/remote.py contains just the Transport classes that used
3511
to be in bzrlib/transport/smart.py. (Andrew Bennetts)
3512
3513
* urllib http implementation avoid roundtrips associated with
3514
401 (and 407) errors once the authentication succeeds.
3515
(Vincent Ladeuil).
3516
3517
* urlib http now supports querying the user for a proxy password if
3518
needed. Realm is shown in the prompt for both HTTP and proxy
3519
authentication when the user is required to type a password.
3520
(Vincent Ladeuil).
3521
3522
* Renamed SmartTransport (and subclasses like SmartTCPTransport) to
3523
RemoteTransport (and subclasses to RemoteTCPTransport, etc). This is more
3524
consistent with its new home in ``bzrlib/transport/remote.py``, and because
3525
it's not really a "smart" transport, just one that does file operations
3526
via remote procedure calls. (Andrew Bennetts)
3527
3528
* The ``lock_write`` method of ``LockableFiles``, ``Repository`` and
3529
``Branch`` now accept a ``token`` keyword argument, so that separate
3530
instances of those objects can share a lock if it has the right token.
3531
(Andrew Bennetts, Robert Collins)
3532
3533
* New method ``get_branch_reference`` on ``BzrDir`` allows the detection of
3534
branch references - which the smart server component needs.
3535
3536
* The Repository API ``make_working_trees`` is now permitted to return
3537
False when ``set_make_working_trees`` is not implemented - previously
3538
an unimplemented ``set_make_working_trees`` implied the result True
3539
from ``make_working_trees``. This has been changed to accomodate the
3540
smart server, where it does not make sense (at this point) to ever
3541
make working trees by default. (Robert Collins)
3542
3543
* Command objects can now declare related help topics by having _see_also
3544
set to a list of related topic. (Robert Collins)
3545
3546
* ``bzrlib.help`` now delegates to the Command class for Command specific
3547
help. (Robert Collins)
3548
3549
* New class ``TransportListRegistry``, derived from the Registry class, which
3550
simplifies tracking the available Transports. (Goffredo Baroncelli)
3551
3552
* New function ``Branch.get_revision_id_to_revno_map`` which will
3553
return a dictionary mapping revision ids to dotted revnos. Since
3554
dotted revnos are defined in the context of the branch tip, it makes
3555
sense to generate them from a ``Branch`` object.
3556
(John Arbash Meinel)
3557
3558
* Fix the 'Unprintable error' message display to use the repr of the
3559
exception that prevented printing the error because the str value
3560
for it is often not useful in debugging (e.g. KeyError('foo') has a
3561
str() of 'foo' but a repr of 'KeyError('foo')' which is much more
3562
useful. (Robert Collins)
3563
3564
* ``urlutils.normalize_url`` now unescapes unreserved characters, such as "~".
3565
(Andrew Bennetts)
3566
3567
BUGFIXES:
3568
3569
* Don't fail bundle selftest if email has 'two' embedded.
3570
(Ian Clatworthy, #98510)
3571
3572
* Remove ``--verbose`` from ``bzr bundle``. It didn't work anyway.
3573
(Robert Widhopf-Fenk, #98591)
3574
3575
* Remove ``--basis`` from the checkout/branch commands - it didn't work
3576
properly and is no longer beneficial.
3577
(Robert Collins, #53675, #43486)
3578
3579
* Don't produce encoding error when adding duplicate files.
3580
(Aaron Bentley)
3581
3582
* Fix ``bzr log <file>`` so it only logs the revisions that changed
3583
the file, and does it faster.
3584
(Kent Gibson, John Arbash Meinel, #51980, #69477)
3585
3586
* Fix ``InterDirstateTre._iter_changes`` to handle when we come across
3587
an empty versioned directory, which now has files in it.
3588
(John Arbash Meinel, #104257)
3589
3590
* Teach ``common_ancestor`` to shortcut when the tip of one branch is
3591
inside the ancestry of the other. Saves a lot of graph processing
3592
(with an ancestry of 16k revisions, ``bzr merge ../already-merged``
3593
changes from 2m10s to 13s). (John Arbash Meinel, #103757)
3594
3595
* Fix ``show_diff_trees`` to handle the case when a file is modified,
3596
and the containing directory is renamed. (The file path is different
3597
in this versus base, but it isn't marked as a rename).
3598
(John Arbash Meinel, #103870)
3599
3600
* FTP now works even when the FTP server does not support atomic rename.
3601
(Aaron Bentley, #89436)
3602
3603
* Correct handling in bundles and merge directives of timezones with
3604
that are not an integer number of hours offset from UTC. Always
3605
represent the epoch time in UTC to avoid problems with formatting
3606
earlier times on win32. (Martin Pool, Alexander Belchenko, John
3607
Arbash Meinel)
3608
3609
* Typo in the help for ``register-branch`` fixed. (Robert Collins, #96770)
3610
3611
* "dirstate" and "dirstate-tags" formats now produce branches compatible
3612
with old versions of bzr. (Aaron Bentley, #107168))
3613
3614
* Handle moving a directory when children have been added, removed,
3615
and renamed. (John Arbash Meinel, #105479)
3616
3617
* Don't preventively use basic authentication for proxy before receiving a
3618
407 error. Otherwise people willing to use other authentication schemes
3619
may expose their password in the clear (or nearly). This add one
3620
roundtrip in case basic authentication should be used, but plug the
3621
security hole.
3622
(Vincent Ladeuil)
3623
3624
* Handle http and proxy digest authentication.
3625
(Vincent Ladeuil, #94034).
3626
3627
TESTING:
3628
3629
* Added ``bzrlib.strace.strace`` which will strace a single callable and
3630
return a StraceResult object which contains just the syscalls involved
3631
in running it. (Robert Collins)
3632
3633
* New test method ``reduceLockdirTimeout`` to drop the default (ui-centric)
3634
default time down to one suitable for tests. (Andrew Bennetts)
3635
3636
* Add new ``vfs_transport_factory`` attribute on tests which provides the
3637
common vfs backing for both the readonly and readwrite transports.
3638
This allows the RemoteObject tests to back onto local disk or memory,
3639
and use the existing ``transport_server`` attribute all tests know about
3640
to be the smart server transport. This in turn allows tests to
3641
differentiate between 'transport to access the branch', and
3642
'transport which is a VFS' - which matters in Remote* tests.
3643
(Robert Collins, Andrew Bennetts)
3644
3645
* The ``make_branch_and_tree`` method for tests will now create a
3646
lightweight checkout for the tree if the ``vfs_transport_factory`` is not
3647
a LocalURLServer. (Robert Collins, Andrew Bennetts)
3648
3649
* Branch implementation tests have been audited to ensure that all urls
3650
passed to Branch APIs use proper urls, except when local-disk paths
3651
are intended. This is so that tests correctly access the test transport
3652
which is often not equivalent to local disk in Remote* tests. As part
3653
of this many tests were adjusted to remove dependencies on local disk
3654
access.
3655
(Robert Collins, Andrew Bennetts)
3656
3657
* Mark bzrlib.tests and bzrlib.tests.TestUtil as providing assertFOO helper
3658
functions by adding a ``__unittest`` global attribute. (Robert Collins,
3659
Andrew Bennetts, Martin Pool, Jonathan Lange)
3660
3661
* Refactored proxy and authentication handling to simplify the
3662
implementation of new auth schemes for both http and proxy.

3684
(Martin Pool)
3685
3686
IMPROVEMENTS:
3687
3688
* HTTP redirections are now taken into account when a branch (or a
3689
bundle) is accessed for the first time. A message is issued at each
3690
redirection to inform the user. In the past, http redirections were
3691
silently followed for each request which significantly degraded the
3692
performances. The http redirections are not followed anymore by
3693
default, instead a RedirectRequested exception is raised. For bzrlib
3694
users needing to follow http redirections anyway,
3695
``bzrlib.transport.do_catching_redirections`` provide an easy transition
3696
path. (vila)
3697
3698
INTERNALS:
3699
3700
* Added ``ReadLock.temporary_write_lock()`` to allow upgrading an OS read
3701
lock to an OS write lock. Linux can do this without unlocking, Win32
3702
needs to unlock in between. (John Arbash Meinel)
3703
3704
* New parameter ``recommend_upgrade`` to ``BzrDir.open_workingtree``
3705
to silence (when false) warnings about opening old formats.
3706
(Martin Pool)
3707
3708
* Fix minor performance regression with bzr-0.15 on pre-dirstate
3709
trees. (We were reading the working inventory too many times).
3710
(John Arbash Meinel)
3711
3712
* Remove ``Branch.get_transaction()`` in favour of a simple cache of
3713
``revision_history``. Branch subclasses should override
3714
``_gen_revision_history`` rather than ``revision_history`` to make use of
3715
this cache, and call ``_clear_revision_history_cache`` and
3716
``_cache_revision_history`` at appropriate times. (Andrew Bennetts)
3717
3718
BUGFIXES:
3719
3720
* Take ``smtp_server`` from user config into account.
3721
(vila, #92195)
3722
3723
* Restore Unicode filename handling for versioned and unversioned files.
3724
(John Arbash Meinel, #92608)
3725
3726
* Don't fail during ``bzr commit`` if a file is marked removed, and
3727
the containing directory is auto-removed. (John Arbash Meinel, #93681)
3728
3729
* ``bzr status FILENAME`` failed on Windows because of an uncommon
3730
errno. (``ERROR_DIRECTORY == 267 != ENOTDIR``).
3731
(Wouter van Heyst, John Arbash Meinel, #90819)
3732
3733
* ``bzr checkout source`` should create a local branch in the same
3734
format as source. (John Arbash Meinel, #93854)
3735
3736
* ``bzr commit`` with a kind change was failing to update the
3737
last-changed-revision for directories. The
3738
InventoryDirectory._unchanged only looked at the ``parent_id`` and name,
3739
ignoring the fact that the kind could have changed, too.
3740
(John Arbash Meinel, #90111)
3741
3742
* ``bzr mv dir/subdir other`` was incorrectly updating files inside
3743
the directory. So that there was a chance it would break commit,
3744
etc. (John Arbash Meinel, #94037)
3745
3746
* Correctly handles mutiple permanent http redirections.

bzr 0.15rc2 2007-03-14
3750
-----------------------
3751
3752
NOTES WHEN UPGRADING:
3753
3754
* Release 0.15rc2 of bzr changes the ``bzr init-repo`` command to
3755
default to ``--trees`` instead of ``--no-trees``.
3756
Existing shared repositories are not affected.
3757
3758
IMPROVEMENTS:
3759
3760
* New ``merge-directive`` command to generate machine- and human-readable
3761
merge requests. (Aaron Bentley)
3762
3763
* New ``submit:`` revision specifier makes it easy to diff against the
3764
common ancestor with the submit location (Aaron Bentley)
3765
3766
* Added support for Putty's SSH implementation. (Dmitry Vasiliev)
3767
3768
* Added ``bzr status --versioned`` to report only versioned files,
3769
not unknowns. (Kent Gibson)
3770
3771
* Merge now autodetects the correct line-ending style for its conflict
3772
markers. (Aaron Bentley)
3773
3774
INTERNALS:
3775
3776
* Refactored SSH vendor registration into SSHVendorManager class.
3777
(Dmitry Vasiliev)
3778
3779
BUGFIXES:
3780
3781
* New ``--numbered-dirs`` option to ``bzr selftest`` to use
3782
numbered dirs for TestCaseInTempDir. This is default behavior
3783
on Windows. Anyone can force named dirs on Windows
3784
with ``--no-numbered-dirs``. (Alexander Belchenko)
3785
3786
* Fix ``RevisionSpec_revid`` to handle the Unicode strings passed in
3787
from the command line. (Marien Zwart, #90501)
3788
3789
* Fix ``TreeTransform._iter_changes`` when both the source and
3790
destination are missing. (Aaron Bentley, #88842)
3791
3792
* Fix commit of merges with symlinks in dirstate trees.
3793
(Marien Zwart)
3794
3795
* Switch the ``bzr init-repo`` default from --no-trees to --trees.

bzr 0.15rc1 2007-03-07
3800
-----------------------
3801
3802
SURPRISES:
3803
3804
* The default disk format has changed. Please run 'bzr upgrade' in your
3805
working trees to upgrade. This new default is compatible for network
3806
operations, but not for local operations. That is, if you have two
3807
versions of bzr installed locally, after upgrading you can only use the
3808
bzr 0.15 version. This new default does not enable tags or nested-trees
3809
as they are incompatible with bzr versions before 0.15 over the network.
3810
3811
* For users of bzrlib: Two major changes have been made to the working tree
3812
api in bzrlib. The first is that many methods and attributes, including
3813
the inventory attribute, are no longer valid for use until one of
3814
``lock_read``/``lock_write``/``lock_tree_write`` has been called,
3815
and become invalid again after unlock is called. This has been done
3816
to improve performance and correctness as part of the dirstate
3817
development.
3818
(Robert Collins, John A Meinel, Martin Pool, and others).
3819
3820
* For users of bzrlib: The attribute 'tree.inventory' should be considered
3821
readonly. Previously it was possible to directly alter this attribute, or
3822
its contents, and have the tree notice this. This has been made
3823
unsupported - it may work in some tree formats, but in the newer dirstate
3824
format such actions will have no effect and will be ignored, or even
3825
cause assertions. All operations possible can still be carried out by a
3826
combination of the tree API, and the bzrlib.transform API. (Robert
3827
Collins, John A Meinel, Martin Pool, and others).
3828
3829
IMPROVEMENTS:
3830
3831
* Support for OS Windows 98. Also .bzr.log on any windows system
3832
saved in My Documents folder. (Alexander Belchenko)
3833
3834
* ``bzr mv`` enhanced to support already moved files.
3835
In the past the mv command would have failed if the source file doesn't
3836
exist. In this situation ``bzr mv`` would now detect that the file has
3837
already moved and update the repository accordingly, if the target file
3838
does exist.
3839
A new option ``--after`` has been added so that if two files already
3840
exist, you could notify Bazaar that you have moved a (versioned) file
3841
and replaced it with another. Thus in this case ``bzr move --after``
3842
will only update the Bazaar identifier.
3843
(Steffen Eichenberg, Marius Kruger)
3844
3845
* ``ls`` now works on treeless branches and remote branches.
3846
(Aaron Bentley)
3847
3848
* ``bzr help global-options`` describes the global options.
3849
(Aaron Bentley)
3850
3851
* ``bzr pull --overwrite`` will now correctly overwrite checkouts.
3852
(Robert Collins)
3853
3854
* Files are now allowed to change kind (e.g. from file to symlink).
3855
Supported by ``commit``, ``revert`` and ``status``
3856
(Aaron Bentley)
3857
3858
* ``inventory`` and ``unknowns`` hidden in favour of ``ls``
3859
(Aaron Bentley)
3860
3861
* ``bzr help checkouts`` descibes what checkouts are and some possible
3862
uses of them. (James Westby, Aaron Bentley)
3863
3864
* A new ``-d`` option to push, pull and merge overrides the default
3865
directory. (Martin Pool)
3866
3867
* Branch format 6: smaller, and potentially faster than format 5. Supports
3868
``append_history_only`` mode, where the log view and revnos do not change,
3869
except by being added to. Stores policy settings in
3870
".bzr/branch/branch.conf".
3871
3872
* ``append_only`` branches: Format 6 branches may be configured so that log
3873
view and revnos are always consistent. Either create the branch using
3874
"bzr init --append-revisions-only" or edit the config file as descriped
3875
in docs/configuration.txt.
3876
3877
* rebind: Format 6 branches retain the last-used bind location, so if you
3878
"bzr unbind", you can "bzr bind" to bind to the previously-selected
3879
bind location.
3880
3881
* Builtin tags support, created and deleted by the ``tag`` command and
3882
stored in the branch. Tags can be accessed with the revisionspec
3883
``-rtag:``, and listed with ``bzr tags``. Tags are not versioned
3884
at present. Tags require a network incompatible upgrade. To perform this
3885
upgrade, run ``bzr upgrade --dirstate-tags`` in your branch and
3886
repositories. (Martin Pool)
3887
3888
* The ``bzr://`` transport now has a well-known port number, 4155,
3889
which it will use by default. (Andrew Bennetts, Martin Pool)
3890
3891
* Bazaar now looks for user-installed plugins before looking for site-wide
3892
plugins. (Jonathan Lange)
3893
3894
* ``bzr resolve`` now detects and marks resolved text conflicts.
3895
(Aaron Bentley)
3896
3897
INTERNALS:
3898
3899
* Internally revision ids and file ids are now passed around as utf-8
3900
bytestrings, rather than treating them as Unicode strings. This has
3901
performance benefits for Knits, since we no longer need to decode the
3902
revision id for each line of content, nor for each entry in the index.
3903
This will also help with the future dirstate format.
3904
(John Arbash Meinel)
3905
3906
* Reserved ids (any revision-id ending in a colon) are rejected by
3907
versionedfiles, repositories, branches, and working trees
3908
(Aaron Bentley)
3909
3910
* Minor performance improvement by not creating a ProgressBar for
3911
every KnitIndex we create. (about 90ms for a bzr.dev tree)
3912
(John Arbash Meinel)
3913
3914
* New easier to use Branch hooks facility. There are five initial hooks,
3915
all documented in bzrlib.branch.BranchHooks.__init__ - ``'set_rh'``,
3916
``'post_push'``, ``'post_pull'``, ``'post_commit'``,
3917
``'post_uncommit'``. These hooks fire after the matching operation
3918
on a branch has taken place, and were originally added for the
3919
branchrss plugin. (Robert Collins)
3920
3921
* New method ``Branch.push()`` which should be used when pushing from a
3922
branch as it makes performance and policy decisions to match the UI
3923
level command ``push``. (Robert Collins).
3924
3925
* Add a new method ``Tree.revision_tree`` which allows access to cached
3926
trees for arbitrary revisions. This allows the in development dirstate
3927
tree format to provide access to the callers to cached copies of
3928
inventory data which are cheaper to access than inventories from the
3929
repository.
3930
(Robert Collins, Martin Pool)
3931
3932
* New ``Branch.last_revision_info`` method, this is being done to allow
3933
optimization of requests for both the number of revisions and the last
3934
revision of a branch with smartservers and potentially future branch
3935
formats. (Wouter van Heyst, Robert Collins)
3936
3937
* Allow ``'import bzrlib.plugins.NAME'`` to work when the plugin NAME has not
3938
yet been loaded by ``load_plugins()``. This allows plugins to depend on each
3939
other for code reuse without requiring users to perform file-renaming
3940
gymnastics. (Robert Collins)
3941
3942
* New Repository method ``'gather_stats'`` for statistic data collection.
3943
This is expected to grow to cover a number of related uses mainly
3944
related to bzr info. (Robert Collins)
3945
3946
* Log formatters are now managed with a registry.
3947
``log.register_formatter`` continues to work, but callers accessing
3948
the FORMATTERS dictionary directly will not.
3949
3950
* Allow a start message to be passed to the ``edit_commit_message``
3951
function. This will be placed in the message offered to the user
3952
for editing above the separator. It allows a template commit message
3953
to be used more easily. (James Westby)
3954
3955
* ``GPGStrategy.sign()`` will now raise ``BzrBadParameterUnicode`` if
3956
you pass a Unicode string rather than an 8-bit string. Callers need
3957
to be updated to encode first. (John Arbash Meinel)
3958
3959
* Branch.push, pull, merge now return Result objects with information
3960
about what happened, rather than a scattering of various methods. These
3961
are also passed to the post hooks. (Martin Pool)
3962
3963
* File formats and architecture is in place for managing a forest of trees
3964
in bzr, and splitting up existing trees into smaller subtrees, and
3965
finally joining trees to make a larger tree. This is the first iteration
3966
of this support, and the user-facing aspects still require substantial
3967
work. If you wish to experiment with it, use ``bzr upgrade
3968
--dirstate-with-subtree`` in your working trees and repositories.
3969
You can use the hidden commands ``split`` and ``join`` and to create
3970
and manipulate nested trees, but please consider using the nested-trees
3971
branch, which contains substantial UI improvements, instead.
3972
http://code.aaronbentley.com/bzr/bzrrepo/nested-trees/
3973
(Aaron Bentley, Martin Pool, Robert Collins).
3974
3975
BUGFIXES:
3976
3977
* ``bzr annotate`` now uses dotted revnos from the viewpoint of the
3978
branch, rather than the last changed revision of the file.
3979
(John Arbash Meinel, #82158)
3980
3981
* Lock operations no longer hang if they encounter a permission problem.
3982
(Aaron Bentley)
3983
3984
* ``bzr push`` can resume a push that was canceled before it finished.
3985
Also, it can push even if the target directory exists if you supply
3986
the ``--use-existing-dir`` flag.
3987
(John Arbash Meinel, #30576, #45504)
3988
3989
* Fix http proxy authentication when user and an optional
3990
password appears in the ``*_proxy`` vars. (Vincent Ladeuil,
3991
#83954).
3992
3993
* ``bzr log branch/file`` works for local treeless branches
3994
(Aaron Bentley, #84247)
3995
3996
* Fix problem with UNC paths on Windows 98. (Alexander Belchenko, #84728)
3997
3998
* Searching location of CA bundle for PyCurl in env variable
3999
(``CURL_CA_BUNDLE``), and on win32 along the PATH.
4000
(Alexander Belchenko, #82086)
4001
4002
* ``bzr init`` works with unicode argument LOCATION.
4003
(Alexander Belchenko, #85599)
4004
4005
* Raise ``DependencyNotPresent`` if pycurl do not support https.
4006
(Vincent Ladeuil, #85305)
4007
4008
* Invalid proxy env variables should not cause a traceback.
4009
(Vincent Ladeuil, #87765)
4010
4011
* Ignore patterns normalised to use '/' path separator.
4012
(Kent Gibson, #86451)
4013
4014
* bzr rocks. It sure does! Fix case. (Vincent Ladeuil, #78026)
4015
4016
* Fix bzrtools shelve command for removed lines beginning with "--"
4017
(Johan Dahlberg, #75577)
4018
4019
TESTING:
4020
4021
* New ``--first`` option to ``bzr selftest`` to run specified tests
4022
before the rest of the suite. (Martin Pool)

--------------------
4027
4028
IMPROVEMENTS:
4029
4030
* ``bzr help global-options`` describes the global options. (Aaron Bentley)
4031
4032
BUG FIXES:
4033
4034
* Skip documentation generation tests if the tools to do so are not
4035
available. Fixes running selftest for installled copies of bzr.
4036
(John Arbash Meinel, #80330)
4037
4038
* Fix the code that discovers whether bzr is being run from it's
4039
working tree to handle the case when it isn't but the directory
4040
it is in is below a repository. (James Westby, #77306)

4043
bzr 0.14rc1 2007-01-16
4044
-----------------------
4045
4046
IMPROVEMENTS:
4047
4048
* New connection: ``bzr+http://`` which supports tunnelling the smart
4049
protocol over an HTTP connection. If writing is enabled on the bzr
4050
server, then you can write over the http connection.
4051
(Andrew Bennetts, John Arbash Meinel)
4052
4053
* Aliases now support quotation marks, so they can contain whitespace
4054
(Marius Kruger)
4055
4056
* PyCurlTransport now use a single curl object. By specifying explicitly
4057
the 'Range' header, we avoid the need to use two different curl objects
4058
(and two connections to the same server). (Vincent Ladeuil)
4059
4060
* ``bzr commit`` does not prompt for a message until it is very likely to
4061
succeed. (Aaron Bentley)
4062
4063
* ``bzr conflicts`` now takes --text to list pathnames of text conflicts
4064
(Aaron Bentley)
4065
4066
* Fix ``iter_lines_added_or_present_in_versions`` to use a set instead
4067
of a list while checking if a revision id was requested. Takes 10s
4068
off of the ``fileids_affected_by_revision_ids`` time, which is 10s
4069
of the ``bzr branch`` time. Also improve ``fileids_...`` time by
4070
filtering lines with a regex rather than multiple ``str.find()``
4071
calls. (saves another 300ms) (John Arbash Meinel)
4072
4073
* Policy can be set for each configuration key. This allows keys to be
4074
inherited properly across configuration entries. For example, this
4075
should enable you to do::
4076
4077
[/home/user/project]
4078
push_location = sftp://host/srv/project/
4079
push_location:policy = appendpath
4080
4081
And then a branch like ``/home/user/project/mybranch`` should get an
4082
automatic push location of ``sftp://host/srv/project/mybranch``.
4083
(James Henstridge)
4084
4085
* Added ``bzr status --short`` to make status report svn style flags
4086
for each file. For example::
4087
4088
$ bzr status --short
4089
A foo
4090
A bar
4091
D baz
4092
? wooley
4093
4094
* 'bzr selftest --clean-output' allows easily clean temporary tests
4095
directories without running tests. (Alexander Belchenko)
4096
4097
* ``bzr help hidden-commands`` lists all hidden commands. (Aaron Bentley)
4098
4099
* ``bzr merge`` now has an option ``--pull`` to fall back to pull if
4100
local is fully merged into remote. (Jan Hudec)
4101
4102
* ``bzr help formats`` describes available directory formats. (Aaron Bentley)
4103
4104
INTERNALS:
4105
4106
* A few tweaks directly to ``fileids_affected_by_revision_ids`` to
4107
help speed up processing, as well allowing to extract unannotated
4108
lines. Between the two ``fileids_affected_by_revision_ids`` is
4109
improved by approx 10%. (John Arbash Meinel)
4110
4111
* Change Revision serialization to only write out millisecond
4112
resolution. Rather than expecting floating point serialization to
4113
preserve more resolution than we need. (Henri Weichers, Martin Pool)
4114
4115
* Test suite ends cleanly on Windows. (Vincent Ladeuil)
4116
4117
* When ``encoding_type`` attribute of class Command is equal to 'exact',
4118
force sys.stdout to be a binary stream on Windows, and therefore
4119
keep exact line-endings (without LF -> CRLF conversion).
4120
(Alexander Belchenko)
4121
4122
* Single-letter short options are no longer globally declared. (Martin
4123
Pool)
4124
4125
* Before using detected user/terminal encoding bzr should check
4126
that Python has corresponding codec. (Alexander Belchenko)
4127
4128
* Formats for end-user selection are provided via a FormatRegistry (Aaron Bentley)
4129
4130
BUG FIXES:
4131
4132
* ``bzr missing --verbose`` was showing adds/removals in the wrong
4133
direction. (John Arbash Meinel)
4134
4135
* ``bzr annotate`` now defaults to showing dotted revnos for merged
4136
revisions. It cuts them off at a depth of 12 characters, but you can
4137
supply ``--long`` to see the full number. You can also use
4138
``--show-ids`` to display the original revision ids, rather than
4139
revision numbers and committer names. (John Arbash Meinel, #75637)
4140
4141
* bzr now supports Win32 UNC path (e.g. ``\HOST\path``.
4142
(Alexander Belchenko, #57869)
4143
4144
* Win32-specific: output of cat, bundle and diff commands don't mangle
4145
line-endings (Alexander Belchenko, #55276)
4146
4147
* Replace broken fnmatch based ignore pattern matching with custom pattern
4148
matcher.
4149
(Kent Gibson, Jan Hudec #57637)
4150
4151
* pycurl and urllib can detect short reads at different places. Update
4152
the test suite to test more cases. Also detect http error code 416
4153
which was raised for that specific bug. Also enhance the urllib
4154
robustness by detecting invalid ranges (and pycurl's one by detecting
4155
short reads during the initial GET). (Vincent Ladeuil, #73948)
4156
4157
* The urllib connection sharing interacts badly with urllib2
4158
proxy setting (the connections didn't go thru the proxy
4159
anymore). Defining a proper ProxyHandler solves the
4160
problem. (Vincent Ladeuil, #74759)
4161
4162
* Use urlutils to generate relative URLs, not osutils
4163
(Aaron Bentley, #76229)
4164
4165
* ``bzr status`` in a readonly directory should work without giving
4166
lots of errors. (John Arbash Meinel, #76299)
4167
4168
* Mention the revisionspec topic for the revision option help.
4169
(Wouter van Heyst, #31663)

4183
IMPROVEMENTS:
4184
4185
* New command ``bzr remove-tree`` allows the removal of the working
4186
tree from a branch.
4187
(Daniel Silverstone)
4188
4189
* urllib uses shared keep-alive connections, so http
4190
operations are substantially faster.
4191
(Vincent Ladeuil, #53654)
4192
4193
* ``bzr export`` allows an optional branch parameter, to export a bzr
4194
tree from some other url. For example:
4195
``bzr export bzr.tar.gz http://bazaar-vcs.org/bzr/bzr.dev``
4196
(Daniel Silverstone)
4197
4198
* Added ``bzr help topics`` to the bzr help system. This gives a
4199
location for general information, outside of a specific command.
4200
This includes updates for ``bzr help revisionspec`` the first topic
4201
included. (Goffredo Baroncelli, John Arbash Meinel, #42714)
4202
4203
* WSGI-compatible HTTP smart server. See ``doc/http_smart_server.txt``.
4204
(Andrew Bennetts)
4205
4206
* Knit files will now cache full texts only when the size of the
4207
deltas is as large as the size of the fulltext. (Or after 200
4208
deltas, whichever comes first). This has the most benefit on large
4209
files with small changes, such as the inventory for a large project.
4210
(eg For a project with 2500 files, and 7500 revisions, it changes
4211
the size of inventory.knit from 11MB to 5.4MB) (John Arbash Meinel)
4212
4213
INTERNALS:
4214
4215
* New -D option given before the command line turns on debugging output
4216
for particular areas. -Derror shows tracebacks on all errors.
4217
(Martin Pool)
4218
4219
* Clean up ``bzr selftest --benchmark bundle`` to correct an import,
4220
and remove benchmarks that take longer than 10min to run.
4221
(John Arbash Meinel)
4222
4223
* Use ``time.time()`` instead of ``time.clock()`` to decide on
4224
progress throttling. Because ``time.clock()`` is actually CPU time,
4225
so over a high-latency connection, too many updates get throttled.
4226
(John Arbash Meinel)
4227
4228
* ``MemoryTransport.list_dir()`` would strip the first character for
4229
files or directories in root directory. (John Arbash Meinel)
4230
4231
* New method ``get_branch_reference`` on 'BzrDir' allows the detection of
4232
branch references - which the smart server component needs.
4233
4234
* New ``ChrootTransportDecorator``, accessible via the ``chroot+`` url
4235
prefix. It disallows any access to locations above a set URL. (Andrew
4236
Bennetts)
4237
4238
BUG FIXES:
4239
4240
* Now ``_KnitIndex`` properly decode revision ids when loading index data.
4241
And optimize the knit index parsing code.
4242
(Dmitry Vasiliev, John Arbash Meinel)
4243
4244
* ``bzrlib/bzrdir.py`` was directly referencing ``bzrlib.workingtree``,
4245
without importing it. This prevented ``bzr upgrade`` from working
4246
unless a plugin already imported ``bzrlib.workingtree``
4247
(John Arbash Meinel, #70716)
4248
4249
* Suppress the traceback on invalid URLs (Vincent Ladeuil, #70803).
4250
4251
* Give nicer error message when an http server returns a 403
4252
error code. (Vincent Ladeuil, #57644).
4253
4254
* When a multi-range http GET request fails, try a single
4255
range one. If it fails too, forget about ranges. Remember that until
4256
the death of the transport and propagates that to the clones.
4257
(Vincent Ladeuil, #62276, #62029).
4258
4259
* Handles user/passwords supplied in url from command
4260
line (for the urllib implementation). Don't request already
4261
known passwords (Vincent Ladeuil, #42383, #44647, #48527)
4262
4263
* ``_KnitIndex.add_versions()`` dictionary compresses revision ids as they
4264
are added. This fixes bug where fetching remote revisions records
4265
them as full references rather than integers.
4266
(John Arbash Meinel, #64789)
4267
4268
* ``bzr ignore`` strips trailing slashes in patterns.
4269
Also ``bzr ignore`` rejects absolute paths. (Kent Gibson, #4559)
4270
4271
* ``bzr ignore`` takes multiple arguments. (Cheuksan Edward Wang, #29488)
4272
4273
* mv correctly handles paths that traverse symlinks.
4274
(Aaron Bentley, #66964)
4275
4276
* Give nicer looking error messages when failing to connect over ssh.
4277
(John Arbash Meinel, #49172)
4278
4279
* Pushing to a remote branch does not currently update the remote working
4280
tree. After a remote push, ``bzr status`` and ``bzr diff`` on the remote
4281
machine now show that the working tree is out of date.
4282
(Cheuksan Edward Wang #48136)
4283
4284
* Use patiencediff instead of difflib for determining deltas to insert
4285
into knits. This avoids the O(N^3) behavior of difflib. Patience
4286
diff should be O(N^2). (Cheuksan Edward Wang, #65714)
4287
4288
* Running ``bzr log`` on nonexistent file gives an error instead of the
4289
entire log history. (Cheuksan Edward Wang #50793)
4290
4291
* ``bzr cat`` can look up contents of removed or renamed files. If the
4292
pathname is ambiguous, i.e. the files in the old and new trees have
4293
different id's, the default is the file in the new tree. The user can
4294
use "--name-from-revision" to select the file in the old tree.
4295
(Cheuksan Edward Wang, #30190)
4296
4297
TESTING:
4298
4299
* TestingHTTPRequestHandler really handles the Range header
4300
(previously it was ignoring it and returning the whole file,).

4303
--------------------
4304
4305
INTERNALS:
4306
4307
* Clean up ``bzr selftest --benchmark bundle`` to correct an import,
4308
and remove benchmarks that take longer than 10min to run.
4309
(John Arbash Meinel)
4310
4311
bzr 0.12rc1 2006-10-23
4312
-----------------------
4313
4314
IMPROVEMENTS:
4315
4316
* ``bzr log`` now shows dotted-decimal revision numbers for all revisions,
4317
rather than just showing a decimal revision number for revisions on the
4318
mainline. These revision numbers are not yet accepted as input into bzr
4319
commands such as log, diff etc. (Robert Collins)
4320
4321
* revisions can now be specified using dotted-decimal revision numbers.
4322
For instance, ``bzr diff -r 1.2.1..1.2.3``. (Robert Collins)
4323
4324
* ``bzr help commands`` output is now shorter (Aaron Bentley)
4325
4326
* ``bzr`` now uses lazy importing to reduce the startup time. This has
4327
a moderate effect on lots of actions, especially ones that have
4328
little to do. For example ``bzr rocks`` time is down to 116ms from
4329
283ms. (John Arbash Meinel)
4330
4331
* New Registry class to provide name-to-object registry-like support,
4332
for example for schemes where plugins can register new classes to
4333
do certain tasks (e.g. log formatters). Also provides lazy registration
4334
to allow modules to be loaded on request.
4335
(John Arbash Meinel, Adeodato Simó)
4336
4337
API INCOMPATABILITY:
4338
4339
* LogFormatter subclasses show now expect the 'revno' parameter to
4340
show() to be a string rather than an int. (Robert Collins)
4341
4342
INTERNALS:
4343
4344
* ``TestCase.run_bzr``, ``run_bzr_captured``, and ``run_bzr_subprocess``
4345
can take a ``working_dir='foo'`` parameter, which will change directory
4346
for the command. (John Arbash Meinel)
4347
4348
* ``bzrlib.lazy_regex.lazy_compile`` can be used to create a proxy
4349
around a regex, which defers compilation until first use.
4350
(John Arbash Meinel)
4351
4352
* ``TestCase.run_bzr_subprocess`` defaults to supplying the
4353
``--no-plugins`` parameter to ensure test reproducability, and avoid
4354
problems with system-wide installed plugins. (John Arbash Meinel)
4355
4356
* Unique tree root ids are now supported. Newly created trees still
4357
use the common root id for compatibility with bzr versions before 0.12.
4358
(Aaron Bentley)
4359
4360
* ``WorkingTree.set_root_id(None)`` is now deprecated. Please
4361
pass in ``inventory.ROOT_ID`` if you want the default root id value.
4362
(Robert Collins, John Arbash Meinel)
4363
4364
* New method ``WorkingTree.flush()`` which will write the current memory
4365
inventory out to disk. At the same time, ``read_working_inventory`` will
4366
no longer trash the current tree inventory if it has been modified within
4367
the current lock, and the tree will now ``flush()`` automatically on
4368
``unlock()``. ``WorkingTree.set_root_id()`` has been updated to take
4369
advantage of this functionality. (Robert Collins, John Arbash Meinel)
4370
4371
* ``bzrlib.tsort.merge_sorted`` now accepts ``generate_revnos``. This
4372
parameter will cause it to add another column to its output, which
4373
contains the dotted-decimal revno for each revision, as a tuple.
4374
(Robert Collins)
4375
4376
* ``LogFormatter.show_merge`` is deprecated in favour of
4377
``LogFormatter.show_merge_revno``. (Robert Collins)
4378
4379
BUG FIXES:
4380
4381
* Avoid circular imports by creating a deprecated function for
4382
``bzrlib.tree.RevisionTree``. Callers should have been using
4383
``bzrlib.revisontree.RevisionTree`` anyway. (John Arbash Meinel,
4384
#63360, #66349)
4385
4386
* Don't use ``socket.MSG_WAITALL`` as it doesn't exist on all
4387
platforms. (Martin Pool, #66356)
4388
4389
* Don't require ``Content-Type`` in range responses. Assume they are a
4390
single range if ``Content-Type`` does not exist.
4391
(John Arbash Meinel, #62473)
4392
4393
* bzr branch/pull no longer complain about progress bar cleanup when
4394
interrupted during fetch. (Aaron Bentley, #54000)
4395
4396
* ``WorkingTree.set_parent_trees()`` uses the trees to directly write
4397
the basis inventory, rather than going through the repository. This
4398
allows us to have 1 inventory read, and 2 inventory writes when
4399
committing a new tree. (John Arbash Meinel)
4400
4401
* When reverting, files that are not locally modified that do not exist
4402
in the target are deleted, not just unversioned (Aaron Bentley)
4403
4404
* When trying to acquire a lock, don't fail immediately. Instead, try
4405
a few times (up to 1 hour) before timing out. Also, report why the
4406
lock is unavailable (John Arbash Meinel, #43521, #49556)
4407
4408
* Leave HttpTransportBase daughter classes decides how they
4409
implement cloning. (Vincent Ladeuil, #61606)
4410
4411
* diff3 does not indicate conflicts on clean merge. (Aaron Bentley)
4412
4413
* If a commit fails, the commit message is stored in a file at the root of
4414
the tree for later commit. (Cheuksan Edward Wang, Stefan Metzmacher,
4415
#32054)
4416
4417
TESTING:
4418
4419
* New test base class TestCaseWithMemoryTransport offers memory-only
4420
testing facilities: its not suitable for tests that need to mutate disk
4421
state, but most tests should not need that and should be converted to
4422
TestCaseWithMemoryTransport. (Robert Collins)
4423
4424
* ``TestCase.make_branch_and_memory_tree`` now takes a format
4425
option to set the BzrDir, Repository and Branch formats of the
4426
created objects. (Robert Collins, John Arbash Meinel)
4427
4428
bzr 0.11 2006-10-02

BUG FIXES:
4437
4438
* Test suite hangs on windows fixed. (Andrew Bennets, Alexander Belchenko).
4439
4440
* Commit performance regression fixed. (Aaron Bentley, Robert Collins, John
4441
Arbash Meinel).
4442
4443
bzr 0.11rc1 2006-09-25
4444
-----------------------
4445
4446
IMPROVEMENTS:
4447
4448
* Knit files now wait to create their contents until the first data is
4449
added. The old code used to create an empty .knit and a .kndx with just
4450
the header. However, this caused a lot of extra round trips over sftp.
4451
This can change the time for ``bzr push`` to create a new remote branch
4452
from 160s down to 100s. This also affects ``bzr commit`` performance when
4453
adding new files, ``bzr commit`` on a new kernel-like tree drops from 50s
4454
down to 40s (John Arbash Meinel, #44692)
4455
4456
* When an entire subtree has been deleted, commit will now report that
4457
just the top of the subtree has been deleted, rather than reporting
4458
all the individual items. (Robert Collins)
4459
4460
* Commit performs one less XML parse. (Robert Collins)
4461
4462
* ``bzr checkout`` now operates on readonly branches as well
4463
as readwrite branches. This fixes bug #39542. (Robert Collins)
4464
4465
* ``bzr bind`` no longer synchronises history with the master branch.
4466
Binding should be followed by an update or push to synchronise the
4467
two branches. This is closely related to the fix for bug #39542.
4468
(Robert Collins)
4469
4470
* ``bzrlib.lazy_import.lazy_import`` function to create on-demand
4471
objects. This allows all imports to stay at the global scope, but
4472
modules will not actually be imported if they are not used.
4473
(John Arbash Meinel)
4474
4475
* Support ``bzr://`` and ``bzr+ssh://`` urls to work with the new RPC-based
4476
transport which will be used with the upcoming high-performance smart
4477
server. The new command ``bzr serve`` will invoke bzr in server mode,
4478
which processes these requests. (Andrew Bennetts, Robert Collins, Martin
4479
Pool)
4480
4481
* New command ``bzr version-info`` which can be used to get a summary
4482
of the current state of the tree. This is especially useful as part
4483
of a build commands. See ``doc/version_info.txt`` for more information
4484
(John Arbash Meinel)
4485
4486
BUG FIXES:
4487
4488
* ``'bzr inventory [FILE...]'`` allows restricting the file list to a
4489
specific set of files. (John Arbash Meinel, #3631)
4490
4491
* Don't abort when annotating empty files (John Arbash Meinel, #56814)
4492
4493
* Add ``Stanza.to_unicode()`` which can be passed to another Stanza
4494
when nesting stanzas. Also, add ``read_stanza_unicode`` to handle when
4495
reading a nested Stanza. (John Arbash Meinel)
4496
4497
* Transform._set_mode() needs to stat the right file.
4498
(John Arbash Meinel, #56549)
4499
4500
* Raise WeaveFormatError rather than StopIteration when trying to read
4501
an empty Weave file. (John Arbash Meinel, #46871)
4502
4503
* Don't access e.code for generic URLErrors, only HTTPErrors have .code.
4504
(Vincent Ladeuil, #59835)
4505
4506
* Handle boundary="" lines properly to allow access through a Squid proxy.
4507
(John Arbash Meinel, #57723)
4508
4509
* revert now removes newly-added directories (Aaron Bentley, #54172)
4510
4511
* ``bzr upgrade sftp://`` shouldn't fail to upgrade v6 branches if there
4512
isn't a working tree. (David Allouche, #40679)
4513
4514
* Give nicer error messages when a user supplies an invalid --revision
4515
parameter. (John Arbash Meinel, #55420)
4516
4517
* Handle when LANG is not recognized by python. Emit a warning, but
4518
just revert to using 'ascii'. (John Arbash Meinel, #35392)
4519
4520
* Don't use ``preexec_fn`` on win32, as it is not supported by subprocess.
4521
(John Arbash Meinel)
4522
4523
* Skip specific tests when the dependencies aren't met. This includes
4524
some ``setup.py`` tests when ``python-dev`` is not available, and
4525
some tests that depend on paramiko. (John Arbash Meinel, Mattheiu Moy)
4526
4527
* Fallback to Paramiko properly, if no ``ssh`` executable exists on
4528
the system. (Andrew Bennetts, John Arbash Meinel)
4529
4530
* ``Branch.bind(other_branch)`` no longer takes a write lock on the
4531
other branch, and will not push or pull between the two branches.
4532
API users will need to perform a push or pull or update operation if they
4533
require branch synchronisation to take place. (Robert Collins, #47344)
4534
4535
* When creating a tarball or zipfile export, export unicode names as utf-8
4536
paths. This may not work perfectly on all platforms, but has the best
4537
chance of working in the common case. (John Arbash Meinel, #56816)
4538
4539
* When committing, only files that exist in working tree or basis tree
4540
may be specified (Aaron Bentley, #50793)
4541
4542
PORTABILITY:
4543
4544
* Fixes to run on Python 2.5 (Brian M. Carlson, Martin Pool, Marien Zwart)
4545
4546
INTERNALS:
4547
4548
* TestCaseInTempDir now creates a separate directory for HOME, rather
4549
than having HOME set to the same location as the working directory.
4550
(John Arbash Meinel)
4551
4552
* ``run_bzr_subprocess()`` can take an optional ``env_changes={}`` parameter,
4553
which will update os.environ inside the spawned child. It also can
4554
take a ``universal_newlines=True``, which helps when checking the output
4555
of the command. (John Arbash Meinel)
4556
4557
* Refactor SFTP vendors to allow easier re-use when ssh is used.
4558
(Andrew Bennetts)
4559
4560
* ``Transport.list_dir()`` and ``Transport.iter_files_recursive()`` should always
4561
return urlescaped paths. This is now tested (there were bugs in a few
4562
of the transports) (Andrew Bennetts, David Allouche, John Arbash Meinel)
4563
4564
* New utility function ``symbol_versioning.deprecation_string``. Returns the
4565
formatted string for a callable, deprecation format pair. (Robert Collins)
4566
4567
* New TestCase helper applyDeprecated. This allows you to call a callable
4568
which is deprecated without it spewing to the screen, just by supplying
4569
the deprecation format string issued for it. (Robert Collins)
4570
4571
* Transport.append and Transport.put have been deprecated in favor of
4572
``.append_bytes``, ``.append_file``, ``.put_bytes``, and
4573
``.put_file``. This removes the ambiguity in what type of object the
4574
functions take. ``Transport.non_atomic_put_{bytes,file}`` has also
4575
been added. Which works similarly to ``Transport.append()`` except for
4576
SFTP, it doesn't have a round trip when opening the file. Also, it
4577
provides functionality for creating a parent directory when trying
4578
to create a file, rather than raise NoSuchFile and forcing the
4579
caller to repeat their request.
4580
(John Arbash Meinel)
4581
4582
* WorkingTree has a new api ``unversion`` which allow the unversioning of
4583
entries by their file id. (Robert Collins)
4584
4585
* ``WorkingTree.pending_merges`` is deprecated. Please use the
4586
``get_parent_ids`` (introduced in 0.10) method instead. (Robert Collins)
4587
4588
* WorkingTree has a new ``lock_tree_write`` method which locks the branch for
4589
read rather than write. This is appropriate for actions which only need
4590
the branch data for reference rather than mutation. A new decorator
4591
``needs_tree_write_lock`` is provided in the workingtree module. Like the
4592
``needs_read_lock`` and ``needs_write_lock`` decorators this allows static
4593
declaration of the locking requirements of a function to ensure that
4594
a lock is taken out for casual scripts. (Robert Collins, #54107)
4595
4596
* All WorkingTree methods which write to the tree, but not to the branch
4597
have been converted to use ``needs_tree_write_lock`` rather than
4598
``needs_write_lock``. Also converted is the revert, conflicts and tree
4599
transform modules. This provides a modest performance improvement on
4600
metadir style trees, due to the reduce lock-acquisition, and a more
4601
significant performance improvement on lightweight checkouts from
4602
remote branches, where trivial operations used to pay a significant
4603
penalty. It also provides the basis for allowing readonly checkouts.
4604
(Robert Collins)
4605
4606
* Special case importing the standard library 'copy' module. This shaves
4607
off 40ms of startup time, while retaining compatibility. See:
4608
``bzrlib/inspect_for_copy.py`` for more details. (John Arbash Meinel)
4609
4610
* WorkingTree has a new parent class MutableTree which represents the
4611
specialisations of Tree which are able to be altered. (Robert Collins)
4612
4613
* New methods mkdir and ``put_file_bytes_non_atomic`` on MutableTree that
4614
mutate the tree and its contents. (Robert Collins)
4615
4616
* Transport behaviour at the root of the URL is now defined and tested.
4617
(Andrew Bennetts, Robert Collins)
4618
4619
TESTING:
4620
4621
* New test helper classs MemoryTree. This is typically accessed via
4622
``self.make_branch_and_memory_tree()`` in test cases. (Robert Collins)
4623
4624
* Add ``start_bzr_subprocess`` and ``stop_bzr_subprocess`` to allow test
4625
code to continue running concurrently with a subprocess of bzr.
4626
(Andrew Bennetts, Robert Collins)
4627
4628
* Add a new method ``Transport.get_smart_client()``. This is provided to
4629
allow upgrades to a richer interface than the VFS one provided by
4630
Transport. (Andrew Bennetts, Martin Pool)
4631
4632
bzr 0.10 2006-08-29
4633
--------------------
4634
4635
IMPROVEMENTS:
4636
* 'merge' now takes --uncommitted, to apply uncommitted changes from a
4637
tree. (Aaron Bentley)
4638
4639
* 'bzr add --file-ids-from' can be used to specify another path to use
4640
for creating file ids, rather than generating all new ones. Internally,
4641
the 'action' passed to ``smart_add_tree()`` can return ``file_ids`` that
4642
will be used, rather than having bzrlib generate new ones.
4643
(John Arbash Meinel, #55781)
4644
4645
* ``bzr selftest --benchmark`` now allows a ``--cache-dir`` parameter.
4646
This will cache some of the intermediate trees, and decrease the
4647
setup time for benchmark tests. (John Arbash Meinel)
4648
4649
* Inverse forms are provided for all boolean options. For example,
4650
--strict has --no-strict, --no-recurse has --recurse (Aaron Bentley)
4651
4652
* Serialize out Inventories directly, rather than using ElementTree.
4653
Writing out a kernel sized inventory drops from 2s down to ~350ms.
4654
(Robert Collins, John Arbash Meinel)
4655
4656
BUG FIXES:
4657
4658
* Help diffutils 2.8.4 get along with binary tests (Marien Zwart: #57614)
4659
4660
* Change LockDir so that if the lock directory doesn't exist when
4661
``lock_write()`` is called, an attempt will be made to create it.
4662
(John Arbash Meinel, #56974)
4663
4664
* ``bzr uncommit`` preserves pending merges. (John Arbash Meinel, #57660)
4665
4666
* Active FTP transport now works as intended. (ghozzy, #56472)
4667
4668
* Really fix mutter() so that it won't ever raise a UnicodeError.
4669
It means it is possible for ~/.bzr.log to contain non UTF-8 characters.
4670
But it is a debugging log, not a real user file.
4671
(John Arbash Meinel, #56947, #53880)
4672
4673
* Change Command handle to allow Unicode command and options.
4674
At present we cannot register Unicode command names, so we will get
4675
BzrCommandError('unknown command'), or BzrCommandError('unknown option')
4676
But that is better than a UnicodeError + a traceback.
4677
(John Arbash Meinel, #57123)
4678
4679
* Handle TZ=UTC properly when reading/writing revisions.
4680
(John Arbash Meinel, #55783, #56290)
4681
4682
* Use ``GPG_TTY`` to allow gpg --cl to work with gpg-agent in a pipeline,
4683
(passing text to sign in on stdin). (John Arbash Meinel, #54468)
4684
4685
* External diff does the right thing for binaries even in foreign
4686
languages. (John Arbash Meinel, #56307)
4687
4688
* Testament handles more cases when content is unicode. Specific bug was
4689
in handling of revision properties.
4690
(John Arbash Meinel, Holger Krekel, #54723)
4691
4692
* The bzr selftest was failing on installed versions due to a bug in a new
4693
test helper. (John Arbash Meinel, Robert Collins, #58057)
4694
4695
INTERNALS:
4696
4697
* ``bzrlib.cache_utf8`` contains ``encode()`` and ``decode()`` functions
4698
which can be used to cache the conversion between utf8 and Unicode.
4699
Especially helpful for some of the knit annotation code, which has to
4700
convert revision ids to utf8 to annotate lines in storage.
4701
(John Arbash Meinel)
4702
4703
* ``setup.py`` now searches the filesystem to find all packages which
4704
need to be installed. This should help make the life of packagers
4705
easier. (John Arbash Meinel)
4706
4707
bzr 0.9.0 2006-08-11
4708
---------------------
4709
4710
SURPRISES:
4711
4712
* The hard-coded built-in ignore rules have been removed. There are
4713
now two rulesets which are enforced. A user global one in
4714
``~/.bazaar/ignore`` which will apply to every tree, and the tree
4715
specific one '.bzrignore'.
4716
``~/.bazaar/ignore`` will be created if it does not exist, but with
4717
a more conservative list than the old default.
4718
This fixes bugs with default rules being enforced no matter what.
4719
The old list of ignore rules from bzr is available by
4720
running 'bzr ignore --old-default-rules'.
4721
(Robert Collins, Martin Pool, John Arbash Meinel)
4722
4723
* 'branches.conf' has been changed to 'locations.conf', since it can apply
4724
to more locations than just branch locations.
4725
(Aaron Bentley)
4726
4727
IMPROVEMENTS:
4728
4729
* The revision specifier "revno:" is extended to accept the syntax
4730
revno:N:branch. For example,
4731
revno:42:http://bazaar-vcs.org/bzr/bzr.dev/ means revision 42 in
4732
bzr.dev. (Matthieu Moy)
4733
4734
* Tests updates to ensure proper URL handling, UNICODE support, and
4735
proper printing when the user's terminal encoding cannot display
4736
the path of a file that has been versioned.
4737
``bzr branch`` can take a target URL rather than only a local directory.
4738
``Branch.get_parent()/set_parent()`` now save a relative path if possible,
4739
and normalize the parent based on root, allowing access across
4740
different transports. (John Arbash Meinel, Wouter van Heyst, Martin Pool)
4741
(Malone #48906, #42699, #40675, #5281, #3980, #36363, #43689,
4742
#42517, #42514)
4743
4744
* On Unix, detect terminal width using an ioctl not just $COLUMNS.
4745
Use terminal width for single-line logs from ``bzr log --line`` and
4746
pending-merge display. (Robert Widhopf-Fenk, Gustavo Niemeyer)
4747
(Malone #3507)
4748
4749
* On Windows, detect terminal width using GetConsoleScreenBufferInfo.
4750
(Alexander Belchenko)
4751
4752
* Speedup improvement for 'date:'-revision search. (Guillaume Pinot).
4753
4754
* Show the correct number of revisions pushed when pushing a new branch.
4755
(Robert Collins).
4756
4757
* 'bzr selftest' now shows a progress bar with the number of tests, and
4758
progress made. 'make check' shows tests in -v mode, to be more useful
4759
for the PQM status window. (Robert Collins).
4760
When using a progress bar, failed tests are printed out, rather than
4761
being overwritten by the progress bar until the suite finishes.
4762
(John Arbash Meinel)
4763
4764
* 'bzr selftest --benchmark' will run a new benchmarking selftest.
4765
'bzr selftest --benchmark --lsprof-timed' will use lsprofile to generate
4766
profile data for the individual profiled calls, allowing for fine
4767
grained analysis of performance.
4768
(Robert Collins, Martin Pool).
4769
4770
* 'bzr commit' shows a progress bar. This is useful for commits over sftp
4771
where commit can take an appreciable time. (Robert Collins)
4772
4773
* 'bzr add' is now less verbose in telling you what ignore globs were
4774
matched by files being ignored. Instead it just tells you how many
4775
were ignored (because you might reasonably be expecting none to be
4776
ignored). 'bzr add -v' is unchanged and will report every ignored
4777
file. (Robert Collins).
4778
4779
* ftp now has a test server if medusa is installed. As part of testing,
4780
ftp support has been improved, including support for supplying a
4781
non-standard port. (John Arbash Meinel).
4782
4783
* 'bzr log --line' shows the revision number, and uses only the
4784
first line of the log message (#5162, Alexander Belchenko;
4785
Matthieu Moy)
4786
4787
* 'bzr status' has had the --all option removed. The 'bzr ls' command
4788
should be used to retrieve all versioned files. (Robert Collins)
4789
4790
* 'bzr bundle OTHER/BRANCH' will create a bundle which can be sent
4791
over email, and applied on the other end, while maintaining ancestry.
4792
This bundle can be applied with either 'bzr merge' or 'bzr pull',
4793
the same way you would apply another branch.
4794
(John Arbash Meinel, Aaron Bentley)
4795
4796
* 'bzr whoami' can now be used to set your identity from the command line,
4797
for a branch or globally. (Robey Pointer)
4798
4799
* 'bzr checkout' now aliased to 'bzr co', and 'bzr annotate' to 'bzr ann'.
4800
(Michael Ellerman)
4801
4802
* 'bzr revert DIRECTORY' now reverts the contents of the directory as well.
4803
(Aaron Bentley)
4804
4805
* 'bzr get sftp://foo' gives a better error when paramiko is not present.
4806
Also updates things like 'http+pycurl://' if pycurl is not present.
4807
(John Arbash Meinel) (Malone #47821, #52204)
4808
4809
* New env variable ``BZR_PROGRESS_BAR``, sets the default progress bar type.
4810
Can be set to 'none' or 'dummy' to disable the progress bar, 'dots' or
4811
'tty' to create the respective type. (John Arbash Meinel, #42197, #51107)
4812
4813
* Improve the help text for 'bzr diff' to explain what various options do.
4814
(John Arbash Meinel, #6391)
4815
4816
* 'bzr uncommit -r 10' now uncommits revisions 11.. rather than uncommitting
4817
revision 10. This makes -r10 more in line with what other commands do.
4818
'bzr uncommit' also now saves the pending merges of the revisions that
4819
were removed. So it is safe to uncommit after a merge, fix something,
4820
and commit again. (John Arbash Meinel, #32526, #31426)
4821
4822
* 'bzr init' now also works on remote locations.
4823
(Wouter van Heyst, #48904)
4824
4825
* HTTP support has been updated. When using pycurl we now support
4826
connection keep-alive, which reduces dns requests and round trips.
4827
And for both urllib and pycurl we support multi-range requests,
4828
which decreases the number of round-trips. Performance results for
4829
``bzr branch http://bazaar-vcs.org/bzr/bzr.dev/`` indicate
4830
http branching is now 2-3x faster, and ``bzr pull`` in an existing
4831
branch is as much as 4x faster.
4832
(Michael Ellerman, Johan Rydberg, John Arbash Meinel, #46768)
4833
4834
* Performance improvements for sftp. Branching and pulling are now up to
4835
2x faster. Utilize paramiko.readv() support for async requests if it
4836
is available (paramiko > 1.6) (John Arbash Meinel)
4837
4838
BUG FIXES:
4839
4840
* Fix shadowed definition of TestLocationConfig that caused some
4841
tests not to run.
4842
(Erik Bågfors, Michael Ellerman, Martin Pool, #32587)
4843
4844
* Fix unnecessary requirement of sign-my-commits that it be run from
4845
a working directory. (Martin Pool, Robert Collins)
4846
4847
* 'bzr push location' will only remember the push location if it succeeds
4848
in connecting to the remote location. (John Arbash Meinel, #49742)
4849
4850
* 'bzr revert' no longer toggles the executable bit on win32
4851
(John Arbash Meinel, #45010)
4852
4853
* Handle broken pipe under win32 correctly. (John Arbash Meinel)
4854
4855
* sftp tests now work correctly on win32 if you have a newer paramiko
4856
(John Arbash Meinel)
4857
4858
* Cleanup win32 test suite, and general cleanup of places where
4859
file handles were being held open. (John Arbash Meinel)
4860
4861
* When specifying filenames for 'diff -r x..y', the name of the file in the
4862
working directory can be used, even if its name is different in both x
4863
and y.
4864
4865
* File-ids containing single- or double-quotes are handled correctly by
4866
push. (Aaron Bentley, #52227)
4867
4868
* Normalize unicode filenames to ensure cross-platform consistency.
4869
(John Arbash Meinel, #43689)
4870
4871
* The argument parser can now handle '-' as an argument. Currently
4872
no code interprets it specially (it is mostly handled as a file named
4873
'-'). But plugins, and future operations can use it.
4874
(John Arbash meinel, #50984)
4875
4876
* Bundles can properly read binary files with a plain '\r' in them.
4877
(John Arbash Meinel, #51927)
4878
4879
* Tuning ``iter_entries()`` to be more efficient (John Arbash Meinel, #5444)
4880
4881
* Lots of win32 fixes (the test suite passes again).
4882
(John Arbash Meinel, #50155)
4883
4884
* Handle openbsd returning None for sys.getfilesystemencoding() (#41183)
4885
4886
* Support ftp APPE (append) to allow Knits to be used over ftp (#42592)
4887
4888
* Removals are only committed if they match the filespec (or if there is
4889
no filespec). (#46635, Aaron Bentley)
4890
4891
* smart-add recurses through all supplied directories
4892
(John Arbash Meinel, #52578)
4893
4894
* Make the bundle reader extra lines before and after the bundle text.
4895
This allows you to parse an email with the bundle inline.
4896
(John Arbash Meinel, #49182)
4897
4898
* Change the file id generator to squash a little bit more. Helps when
4899
working with long filenames on windows. (Also helps for unicode filenames
4900
not generating hidden files). (John Arbash Meinel, #43801)
4901
4902
* Restore terminal mode on C-c while reading sftp password. (#48923,
4903
Nicholas Allen, Martin Pool)
4904
4905
* Timestamps are rounded to 1ms, and revision entries can be recreated
4906
exactly. (John Arbash Meinel, Jamie Wilkinson, #40693)
4907
4908
* Branch.base has changed to a URL, but ~/.bazaar/locations.conf should
4909
use local paths, since it is user visible (John Arbash Meinel, #53653)
4910
4911
* ``bzr status foo`` when foo was unversioned used to cause a full delta
4912
to be generated (John Arbash Meinel, #53638)
4913
4914
* When reading revision properties, an empty value should be considered
4915
the empty string, not None (John Arbash Meinel, #47782)
4916
4917
* ``bzr diff --diff-options`` can now handle binary files being changed.
4918
Also, the output is consistent when --diff-options is not supplied.
4919
(John Arbash Meinel, #54651, #52930)
4920
4921
* Use the right suffixes for loading plugins (John Arbash Meinel, #51810)
4922
4923
* Fix ``Branch.get_parent()`` to handle the case when the parent is not
4924
accessible (John Arbash Meinel, #52976)
4925
4926
INTERNALS:
4927
4928
* Combine the ignore rules into a single regex rather than looping over
4929
them to reduce the threshold where N^2 behaviour occurs in operations
4930
like status. (Jan Hudec, Robert Collins).
4931
4932
* Appending to ``bzrlib.DEFAULT_IGNORE`` is now deprecated. Instead, use
4933
one of the add functions in bzrlib.ignores. (John Arbash Meinel)
4934
4935
* 'bzr push' should only push the ancestry of the current revision, not
4936
all of the history in the repository. This is especially important for
4937
shared repositories. (John Arbash Meinel)
4938
4939
* ``bzrlib.delta.compare_trees`` now iterates in alphabetically sorted order,
4940
rather than randomly walking the inventories. (John Arbash Meinel)
4941
4942
* Doctests are now run in temporary directories which are cleaned up when
4943
they finish, rather than using special ScratchDir/ScratchBranch objects.
4944
(Martin Pool)
4945
4946
* Split ``check`` into separate methods on the branch and on the repository,
4947
so that it can be specialized in ways that are useful or efficient for
4948
different formats. (Martin Pool, Robert Collins)
4949
4950
* Deprecate ``Repository.all_revision_ids``; most methods don't really need
4951
the global revision graph but only that part leading up to a particular
4952
revision. (Martin Pool, Robert Collins)
4953
4954
* Add a BzrDirFormat ``control_formats`` list which allows for control formats
4955
that do not use '.bzr' to store their data - i.e. '.svn', '.hg' etc.
4956
(Robert Collins, Jelmer Vernooij).
4957
4958
* ``bzrlib.diff.external_diff`` can be redirected to any file-like object.
4959
Uses subprocess instead of spawnvp.
4960
(James Henstridge, John Arbash Meinel, #4047, #48914)
4961
4962
* New command line option '--profile-imports', which will install a custom
4963
importer to log time to import modules and regex compilation time to
4964
sys.stderr (John Arbash Meinel)
4965
4966
* 'EmptyTree' is now deprecated, please use ``repository.revision_tree(None)``
4967
instead. (Robert Collins)
4968
4969
* "RevisionTree" is now in bzrlib/revisiontree.py. (Robert Collins)

* Fix failure to commit a merge in a checkout. (Martin Pool,
4984
Robert Collins, Erik Bågfors, #43959)
4985
4986
* Nicer messages from 'commit' in the case of renames, and correct
4987
messages when a merge has occured. (Robert Collins, Martin Pool)
4988
4989
* Separate functionality from assert statements as they are skipped in
4990
optimized mode of python. Add the same check to pending merges.

CHANGES:
5003
5004
* Make editor invocation comply with Debian Policy. First check
5005
environment variables VISUAL and EDITOR, then try editor from
5006

5007
list of editors. (Olaf Conradi, #42904)
5008
5009
NEW FEATURES:

5011
* New 'register-branch' command registers a public branch into

* New public api in InventoryEntry - ``describe_change(old, new)`` which
5018
provides a human description of the changes between two old and
5019
new. (Robert Collins, Martin Pool)
5020
5021
TESTING:
5022
5023
* Fix test case for bzr info in upgrading a standalone branch to metadir,
5024
uses bzrlib api now. (Olaf Conradi)

bzr 0.8 2006-05-08
5027
-------------------
5028
5029
NOTES WHEN UPGRADING:
5030
5031
Release 0.8 of bzr introduces a new format for history storage, called
5032
'knit', as an evolution of to the 'weave' format used in 0.7. Local
5033
and remote operations are faster using knits than weaves. Several
5034
operations including 'init', 'init-repo', and 'upgrade' take a
5035
--format option that controls this. Branching from an existing branch
5036
will keep the same format.
5037
5038
It is possible to merge, pull and push between branches of different
5039
formats but this is slower than moving data between homogenous
5040
branches. It is therefore recommended (but not required) that you
5041
upgrade all branches for a project at the same time. Information on
5042
formats is shown by 'bzr info'.
5043
5044
bzr 0.8 now allows creation of 'repositories', which hold the history
5045
of files and revisions for several branches. Previously bzr kept all
5046
the history for a branch within the .bzr directory at the root of the
5047
branch, and this is still the default. To create a repository, use
5048
the new 'bzr init-repo' command. Branches exist as directories under
5049
the repository and contain just a small amount of information
5050
indicating the current revision of the branch.
5051
5052
bzr 0.8 also supports 'checkouts', which are similar to in cvs and
5053
subversion. Checkouts are associated with a branch (optionally in a
5054
repository), which contains all the historical information. The
5055
result is that a checkout can be deleted without losing any
5056
already-committed revisions. A new 'update' command is also available.
5057
5058
Repositories and checkouts are not supported with the 0.7 storage
5059
format. To use them you must upgrad to either knits, or to the
5060
'metaweave' format, which uses weaves but changes the .bzr directory
5061
arrangement.
5062
5063
5064
IMPROVEMENTS:
5065
5066
* Sftp paths can now be relative, or local, according to the lftp
5067
convention. Paths now take the form::
5068
5069
sftp://user:pass@host:port/~/relative/path
5070
or
5071
sftp://user:pass@host:port/absolute/path
5072
5073
* The FTP transport now tries to reconnect after a temporary
5074
failure. ftp put is made atomic. (Matthieu Moy)
5075
5076
* The FTP transport now maintains a pool of connections, and
5077
reuses them to avoid multiple connections to the same host (like
5078
sftp did). (Daniel Silverstone)
5079
5080
* The ``bzr_man.py`` file has been removed. To create the man page now,
5081
use ``./generate_docs.py man``. The new program can also create other files.
5082
Run ``python generate_docs.py --help`` for usage information.
5083
(Hans Ulrich Niedermann & James Blackwell).
5084
5085
* Man Page now gives full help (James Blackwell).
5086
Help also updated to reflect user config now being stored in .bazaar
5087
(Hans Ulrich Niedermann)
5088
5089
* It's now possible to set aliases in bazaar.conf (Erik Bågfors)
5090
5091
* Pull now accepts a --revision argument (Erik Bågfors)
5092
5093
* ``bzr re-sign`` now allows multiple revisions to be supplied on the command
5094
line. You can now use the following command to sign all of your old
5095
commits::
5096
5097
find .bzr/revision-store// -name my@email-* \
5098
| sed 's/.*\/\/..\///' \
5099
| xargs bzr re-sign
5100
5101
* Upgrade can now upgrade over the network. (Robert Collins)
5102
5103
* Two new commands 'bzr checkout' and 'bzr update' allow for CVS/SVN-alike
5104
behaviour. By default they will cache history in the checkout, but
5105
with --lightweight almost all data is kept in the master branch.
5106
(Robert Collins)
5107
5108
* 'revert' unversions newly-versioned files, instead of deleting them.
5109
5110
* 'merge' is more robust. Conflict messages have changed.
5111
5112
* 'merge' and 'revert' no longer clobber existing files that end in '~' or
5113
'.moved'.
5114
5115
* Default log format can be set in configuration and plugins can register
5116
their own formatters. (Erik Bågfors)
5117
5118
* New 'reconcile' command will check branch consistency and repair indexes
5119
that can become out of sync in pre 0.8 formats. (Robert Collins,
5120
Daniel Silverstone)
5121
5122
* New 'bzr init --format' and 'bzr upgrade --format' option to control
5123
what storage format is created or produced. (Robert Collins,
5124
Martin Pool)
5125
5126
* Add parent location to 'bzr info', if there is one. (Olaf Conradi)
5127
5128
* New developer commands 'weave-list' and 'weave-join'. (Martin Pool)
5129
5130
* New 'init-repository' command, plus support for repositories in 'init'
5131
and 'branch' (Aaron Bentley, Erik Bågfors, Robert Collins)
5132
5133
* Improve output of 'info' command. Show all relevant locations related to
5134
working tree, branch and repository. Use kibibytes for binary quantities.
5135
Fix off-by-one error in missing revisions of working tree. Make 'info'
5136
work on branches, repositories and remote locations. Show locations
5137
relative to the shared repository, if applicable. Show locking status
5138
of locations. (Olaf Conradi)
5139
5140
* Diff and merge now safely handle binary files. (Aaron Bentley)
5141
5142
* 'pull' and 'push' now normalise the revision history, so that any two
5143
branches with the same tip revision will have the same output from 'log'.
5144
(Robert Collins)
5145
5146
* 'merge' accepts --remember option to store parent location, like 'push'
5147
and 'pull'. (Olaf Conradi)
5148
5149
* bzr status and diff when files given as arguments do not exist
5150
in the relevant trees. (Martin Pool, #3619)
5151
5152
* Add '.hg' to the default ignore list. (Martin Pool)
5153
5154
* 'knit' is now the default disk format. This improves disk performance and
5155
utilization, increases incremental pull performance, robustness with SFTP
5156
and allows checkouts over SFTP to perform acceptably.
5157
The initial Knit code was contributed by Johan Rydberg based on a
5158
specification by Martin Pool.
5159
(Robert Collins, Aaron Bentley, Johan Rydberg, Martin Pool).
5160
5161
* New tool to generate all-in-one html version of the manual. (Alexander
5162
Belchenko)
5163
5164
* Hitting CTRL-C while doing an SFTP push will no longer cause stale locks
5165
to be left in the SFTP repository. (Robert Collins, Martin Pool).
5166
5167
* New option 'diff --prefix' to control how files are named in diff
5168
output, with shortcuts '-p0' and '-p1' corresponding to the options for
5169
GNU patch. (Alexander Belchenko, Goffredo Baroncelli, Martin Pool)
5170
5171
* Add --revision option to 'annotate' command. (Olaf Conradi)
5172
5173
* If bzr shows an unexpected revision-history after pulling (perhaps due
5174
to a reweave) it can now be corrected by 'bzr reconcile'.
5175
(Robert Collins)
5176
5177
CHANGES:
5178
5179
* Commit is now verbose by default, and shows changed filenames and the
5180
new revision number. (Robert Collins, Martin Pool)
5181
5182
* Unify 'mv', 'move', 'rename'. (Matthew Fuller, #5379)
5183
5184
* 'bzr -h' shows help. (Martin Pool, Ian Bicking, #35940)
5185
5186
* Make 'pull' and 'push' remember location on failure using --remember.
5187
(Olaf Conradi)
5188
5189
* For compatibility, make old format for using weaves inside metadir
5190
available as 'metaweave' format. Rename format 'metadir' to 'default'.
5191
Clean up help for option --format in commands 'init', 'init-repo' and
5192
'upgrade'. (Olaf Conradi)
5193
5194
INTERNALS:
5195
5196
* The internal storage of history, and logical branch identity have now
5197
been split into Branch, and Repository. The common locking and file
5198
management routines are now in bzrlib.lockablefiles.
5199
(Aaron Bentley, Robert Collins, Martin Pool)
5200
5201
* Transports can now raise DependencyNotPresent if they need a library
5202
which is not installed, and then another implementation will be
5203
tried. (Martin Pool)
5204
5205
* Remove obsolete (and no-op) `decode` parameter to `Transport.get`.
5206
(Martin Pool)
5207
5208
* Using Tree Transform for merge, revert, tree-building
5209
5210
* WorkingTree.create, Branch.create, ``WorkingTree.create_standalone``,
5211
Branch.initialize are now deprecated. Please see ``BzrDir.create_*`` for
5212
replacement API's. (Robert Collins)
5213
5214
* New BzrDir class represents the .bzr control directory and manages
5215
formatting issues. (Robert Collins)
5216
5217
* New repository.InterRepository class encapsulates Repository to
5218
Repository actions and allows for clean selection of optimised code
5219
paths. (Robert Collins)
5220
5221
* ``bzrlib.fetch.fetch`` and ``bzrlib.fetch.greedy_fetch`` are now
5222
deprecated, please use ``branch.fetch`` or ``repository.fetch``
5223
depending on your needs. (Robert Collins)
5224
5225
* deprecated methods now have a ``is_deprecated`` flag on them that can
5226
be checked, if you need to determine whether a given callable is
5227
deprecated at runtime. (Robert Collins)
5228
5229
* Progress bars are now nested - see
5230
``bzrlib.ui.ui_factory.nested_progress_bar``.
5231
(Robert Collins, Robey Pointer)
5232
5233
* New API call ``get_format_description()`` for each type of format.
5234
(Olaf Conradi)
5235
5236
* Changed ``branch.set_parent()`` to accept None to remove parent.
5237
(Olaf Conradi)
5238
5239
* Deprecated BzrError AmbiguousBase. (Olaf Conradi)
5240
5241
* WorkingTree.branch is now a read only property. (Robert Collins)
5242
5243
* bzrlib.ui.text.TextUIFactory now accepts a ``bar_type`` parameter which
5244
can be None or a factory that will create a progress bar. This is
5245
useful for testing or for overriding the bzrlib.progress heuristic.
5246
(Robert Collins)
5247
5248
* New API method ``get_physical_lock_status()`` to query locks present on a
5249
transport. (Olaf Conradi)
5250
5251
* Repository.reconcile now takes a thorough keyword parameter to allow
5252
requesting an indepth reconciliation, rather than just a data-loss
5253
check. (Robert Collins)
5254
5255
* ``bzrlib.ui.ui_factory protocol`` now supports ``get_boolean`` to prompt
5256
the user for yes/no style input. (Robert Collins)
5257
5258
TESTING:
5259
5260
* SFTP tests now shortcut the SSH negotiation, reducing test overhead
5261
for testing SFTP protocol support. (Robey Pointer)
5262
5263
* Branch formats are now tested once per implementation (see ``bzrlib.
5264
tests.branch_implementations``. This is analagous to the transport
5265
interface tests, and has been followed up with working tree,
5266
repository and BzrDir tests. (Robert Collins)
5267
5268
* New test base class TestCaseWithTransport provides a transport aware
5269
test environment, useful for testing any transport-interface using
5270
code. The test suite option --transport controls the transport used
5271
by this class (when its not being used as part of implementation
5272
contract testing). (Robert Collins)
5273
5274
* Close logging handler on disabling the test log. This will remove the
5275
handler from the internal list inside python's logging module,
5276
preventing shutdown from closing it twice. (Olaf Conradi)
5277
5278
* Move test case for uncommit to blackbox tests. (Olaf Conradi)
5279
5280
* ``run_bzr`` and ``run_bzr_captured`` now accept a 'stdin="foo"'
5281
parameter which will provide String("foo") to the command as its stdin.
5282
5283
bzr 0.7 2006-01-09
5284
------------------
5285
5286
CHANGES:
5287
5288
* .bzrignore is excluded from exports, on the grounds that it's a bzr
5289
internal-use file and may not be wanted. (Jamie Wilkinson)
5290
5291
* The "bzr directories" command were removed in favor of the new
5292
--kind option to the "bzr inventory" command. To list all
5293
versioned directories, now use "bzr inventory --kind directory".
5294
(Johan Rydberg)
5295
5296
* Under Windows configuration directory is now ``%APPDATA%\bazaar\2.0``
5297
by default. (John Arbash Meinel)
5298
5299
* The parent of Bzr configuration directory can be set by ``BZR_HOME``
5300
environment variable. Now the path for it is searched in ``BZR_HOME``,
5301
then in HOME. Under Windows the order is: ``BZR_HOME``, ``APPDATA``
5302
(usually points to ``C:\Documents and Settings\User Name\Application Data``),
5303
``HOME``. (John Arbash Meinel)
5304
5305
* Plugins with the same name in different directories in the bzr plugin
5306
path are no longer loaded: only the first successfully loaded one is
5307
used. (Robert Collins)
5308
5309
* Use systems' external ssh command to open connections if possible.
5310
This gives better integration with user settings such as ProxyCommand.
5311
(James Henstridge)
5312
5313
* Permissions on files underneath .bzr/ are inherited from the .bzr
5314
directory. So for a shared repository, simply doing 'chmod -R g+w .bzr/'
5315
will mean that future file will be created with group write permissions.
5316
5317
* configure.in and config.guess are no longer in the builtin default
5318
ignore list.
5319
5320
* '.sw[nop]' pattern ignored, to ignore vim swap files for nameless
5321
files. (John Arbash Meinel, Martin Pool)
5322
5323
IMPROVEMENTS:
5324
5325
* "bzr INIT dir" now initializes the specified directory, and creates
5326
it if it does not exist. (John Arbash Meinel)
5327
5328
* New remerge command (Aaron Bentley)
5329
5330
* Better zsh completion script. (Steve Borho)
5331
5332
* 'bzr diff' now returns 1 when there are changes in the working
5333
tree. (Robert Collins)
5334
5335
* 'bzr push' now exists and can push changes to a remote location.
5336
This uses the transport infrastructure, and can store the remote
5337
location in the ~/.bazaar/branches.conf configuration file.
5338
(Robert Collins)
5339
5340
* Test directories are only kept if the test fails and the user requests
5341
that they be kept.
5342
5343
* Tweaks to short log printing
5344
5345
* Added branch nicks, new nick command, printing them in log output.
5346
(Aaron Bentley)
5347
5348
* If ``$BZR_PDB`` is set, pop into the debugger when an uncaught exception
5349
occurs. (Martin Pool)
5350
5351
* Accept 'bzr resolved' (an alias for 'bzr resolve'), as this is
5352
the same as Subversion. (Martin Pool)
5353
5354
* New ftp transport support (on ftplib), for ftp:// and aftp://
5355
URLs. (Daniel Silverstone)
5356
5357
* Commit editor temporary files now start with ``bzr_log.``, to allow
5358
text editors to match the file name and set up appropriate modes or
5359
settings. (Magnus Therning)
5360
5361
* Improved performance when integrating changes from a remote weave.
5362
(Goffredo Baroncelli)
5363
5364
* Sftp will attempt to cache the connection, so it is more likely that
5365
a connection will be reused, rather than requiring multiple password
5366
requests.
5367
5368
* bzr revno now takes an optional argument indicating the branch whose
5369
revno should be printed. (Michael Ellerman)
5370
5371
* bzr cat defaults to printing the last version of the file.
5372
(Matthieu Moy, #3632)
5373
5374
* New global option 'bzr --lsprof COMMAND' runs bzr under the lsprof
5375
profiler. (Denys Duchier)
5376
5377
* Faster commits by reading only the headers of affected weave files.
5378
(Denys Duchier)
5379
5380
* 'bzr add' now takes a --dry-run parameter which shows you what would be
5381
added, but doesn't actually add anything. (Michael Ellerman)
5382
5383
* 'bzr add' now lists how many files were ignored per glob. add --verbose
5384
lists the specific files. (Aaron Bentley)
5385
5386
* 'bzr missing' now supports displaying changes in diverged trees and can
5387
be limited to show what either end of the comparison is missing.
5388
(Aaron Bently, with a little prompting from Daniel Silverstone)
5389
5390
BUG FIXES:
5391
5392
* SFTP can walk up to the root path without index errors. (Robert Collins)
5393
5394
* Fix bugs in running bzr with 'python -O'. (Martin Pool)
5395
5396
* Error when run with -OO
5397
5398
* Fix bug in reporting http errors that don't have an http error code.
5399
(Martin Pool)
5400
5401
* Handle more cases of pipe errors in display commands
5402
5403
* Change status to 3 for all errors
5404
5405
* Files that are added and unlinked before committing are completely
5406
ignored by diff and status
5407
5408
* Stores with some compressed texts and some uncompressed texts are now
5409
able to be used. (John A Meinel)
5410
5411
* Fix for bzr pull failing sometimes under windows
5412
5413
* Fix for sftp transport under windows when using interactive auth
5414
5415
* Show files which are both renamed and modified as such in 'bzr
5416
status' output. (Daniel Silverstone, #4503)
5417
5418
* Make annotate cope better with revisions committed without a valid
5419
email address. (Marien Zwart)
5420
5421
* Fix representation of tab characters in commit messages.
5422
(Harald Meland)
5423
5424
* List of plugin directories in ``BZR_PLUGIN_PATH`` environment variable is
5425
now parsed properly under Windows. (Alexander Belchenko)
5426
5427
* Show number of revisions pushed/pulled/merged. (Robey Pointer)
5428
5429
* Keep a cached copy of the basis inventory to speed up operations
5430
that need to refer to it. (Johan Rydberg, Martin Pool)
5431
5432
* Fix bugs in bzr status display of non-ascii characters.
5433
(Martin Pool)
5434
5435
* Remove Makefile.in from default ignore list.
5436
(Tollef Fog Heen, Martin Pool, #6413)
5437
5438
* Fix failure in 'bzr added'. (Nathan McCallum, Martin Pool)
5439
5440
TESTING:
5441
5442
* Fix selftest asking for passwords when there are no SFTP keys.
5443
(Robey Pointer, Jelmer Vernooij)
5444
5445
* Fix selftest run with 'python -O'. (Martin Pool)
5446
5447
* Fix HTTP tests under Windows. (John Arbash Meinel)
5448
5449
* Make tests work even if HOME is not set (Aaron Bentley)
5450
5451
* Updated ``build_tree`` to use fixed line-endings for tests which read
5452
the file cotents and compare. Make some tests use this to pass under
5453
Windows. (John Arbash Meinel)
5454
5455
* Skip stat and symlink tests under Windows. (Alexander Belchenko)
5456
5457
* Delay in selftest/testhashcash is now issued under win32 and Cygwin.
5458
(John Arbash Meinel)
5459
5460
* Use terminal width to align verbose test output. (Martin Pool)
5461
5462
* Blackbox tests are maintained within the bzrlib.tests.blackbox directory.
5463
If adding a new test script please add that to
5464
``bzrlib.tests.blackbox.__init__``. (Robert Collins)
5465
5466
* Much better error message if one of the test suites can't be
5467
imported. (Martin Pool)
5468
5469
* Make check now runs the test suite twice - once with the default locale,
5470
and once with all locales forced to C, to expose bugs. This is not
5471
trivially done within python, so for now its only triggered by running
5472
Make check. Integrators and packagers who wish to check for full
5473
platform support should run 'make check' to test the source.
5474
(Robert Collins)
5475
5476
* Tests can now run TestSkipped if they can't execute for any reason.
5477
(Martin Pool) (NB: TestSkipped should only be raised for correctable
5478
reasons - see the wiki spec ImprovingBzrTestSuite).
5479
5480
* Test sftp with relative, absolute-in-homedir and absolute-not-in-homedir
5481
paths for the transport tests. Introduce blackbox remote sftp tests that
5482
test the same permutations. (Robert Collins, Robey Pointer)
5483
5484
* Transport implementation tests are now independent of the local file
5485
system, which allows tests for esoteric transports, and for features
5486
not available in the local file system. They also repeat for variations
5487
on the URL scheme that can introduce issues in the transport code,
5488
see bzrlib.transport.TransportTestProviderAdapter() for this.
5489
(Robert Collins).
5490
5491
* ``TestCase.build_tree`` uses the transport interface to build trees,
5492
pass in a transport parameter to give it an existing connection.
5493
(Robert Collins).
5494
5495
INTERNALS:
5496
5497
* WorkingTree.pull has been split across Branch and WorkingTree,
5498
to allow Branch only pulls. (Robert Collins)
5499
5500
* ``commands.display_command`` now returns the result of the decorated
5501
function. (Robert Collins)
5502
5503
* LocationConfig now has a ``set_user_option(key, value)`` call to save
5504
a setting in its matching location section (a new one is created
5505
if needed). (Robert Collins)
5506
5507
* Branch has two new methods, ``get_push_location`` and
5508
``set_push_location`` to respectively, get and set the push location.
5509
(Robert Collins)
5510
5511
* ``commands.register_command`` now takes an optional flag to signal that
5512
the registrant is planning to decorate an existing command. When
5513
given multiple plugins registering a command is not an error, and
5514
the original command class (whether built in or a plugin based one) is
5515
returned to the caller. There is a new error 'MustUseDecorated' for
5516
signalling when a wrapping command should switch to the original
5517
version. (Robert Collins)
5518
5519
* Some option parsing errors will raise 'BzrOptionError', allowing
5520
granular detection for decorating commands. (Robert Collins).
5521
5522
* ``Branch.read_working_inventory`` has moved to
5523
``WorkingTree.read_working_inventory``. This necessitated changes to
5524
``Branch.get_root_id``, and a move of ``Branch.set_inventory`` to
5525
WorkingTree as well. To make it clear that a WorkingTree cannot always
5526
be obtained ``Branch.working_tree()`` will raise
5527
``errors.NoWorkingTree`` if one cannot be obtained. (Robert Collins)
5528
5529
* All pending merges operations from Branch are now on WorkingTree.
5530
(Robert Collins)
5531
5532
* The follow operations from Branch have moved to WorkingTree::
5533
5534
add()
5535
commit()
5536
move()
5537
rename_one()
5538
unknowns()
5539
5540
(Robert Collins)
5541
5542
* ``bzrlib.add.smart_add_branch`` is now ``smart_add_tree``. (Robert Collins)
5543
5544
* New "rio" serialization format, similar to rfc-822. (Martin Pool)
5545
5546
* Rename selftests to ``bzrlib.tests.test_foo``. (John A Meinel, Martin
5547
Pool)
5548
5549
* ``bzrlib.plugin.all_plugins`` has been changed from an attribute to a
5550
query method. (Robert Collins)
5551
5552
* New options to read only the table-of-contents of a weave.
5553
(Denys Duchier)
5554
5555
* Raise NoSuchFile when someone tries to add a non-existant file.
5556
(Michael Ellerman)
5557
5558
* Simplify handling of DivergedBranches in ``cmd_pull()``.
5559
(Michael Ellerman)
5560
5561
* Branch.controlfile* logic has moved to lockablefiles.LockableFiles, which
5562
is exposed as ``Branch().control_files``. Also this has been altered with the
5563
controlfile pre/suffix replaced by simple method names like 'get' and
5564
'put'. (Aaron Bentley, Robert Collins).
5565
5566
* Deprecated functions and methods can now be marked as such using the
5567
``bzrlib.symbol_versioning`` module. Marked method have their docstring
5568
updated and will issue a DeprecationWarning using the warnings module
5569
when they are used. (Robert Collins)
5570
5571
* ``bzrlib.osutils.safe_unicode`` now exists to provide parameter coercion
5572
for functions that need unicode strings. (Robert Collins)

5577
IMPROVEMENTS:
5578
5579
* pull now takes --verbose to show you what revisions are added or removed
5580
(John A Meinel)
5581
5582
* merge now takes a --show-base option to include the base text in
5583
conflicts.
5584
(Aaron Bentley)
5585
5586
* The config files are now read using ConfigObj, so '=' should be used as
5587
a separator, not ':'.
5588
(Aaron Bentley)
5589
5590
* New 'bzr commit --strict' option refuses to commit if there are
5591
any unknown files in the tree. To commit, make sure all files are
5592
either ignored, added, or deleted. (Michael Ellerman)
5593
5594
* The config directory is now ~/.bazaar, and there is a single file
5595
~/.bazaar/bazaar.conf storing email, editor and other preferences.
5596
(Robert Collins)
5597
5598
* 'bzr add' no longer takes a --verbose option, and a --quiet option
5599
has been added that suppresses all output.
5600
5601
* Improved zsh completion support in contrib/zsh, from Clint
5602
Adams.
5603
5604
* Builtin 'bzr annotate' command, by Martin Pool with improvements from
5605
Goffredo Baroncelli.
5606
5607
* 'bzr check' now accepts -v for verbose reporting, and checks for
5608
ghosts in the branch. (Robert Collins)
5609
5610
* New command 're-sign' which will regenerate the gpg signature for
5611
a revision. (Robert Collins)
5612
5613
* If you set ``check_signatures=require`` for a path in
5614
``~/.bazaar/branches.conf`` then bzr will invoke your
5615
``gpg_signing_command`` (defaults to gpg) and record a digital signature
5616
of your commit. (Robert Collins)
5617
5618
* New sftp transport, based on Paramiko. (Robey Pointer)
5619
5620
* 'bzr pull' now accepts '--clobber' which will discard local changes
5621
and make this branch identical to the source branch. (Robert Collins)
5622
5623
* Just give a quieter warning if a plugin can't be loaded, and
5624
put the details in .bzr.log. (Martin Pool)
5625
5626
* 'bzr branch' will now set the branch-name to the last component of the
5627
output directory, if one was supplied.
5628
5629
* If the option ``post_commit`` is set to one (or more) python function
5630
names (must be in the bzrlib namespace), then they will be invoked
5631
after the commit has completed, with the branch and ``revision_id`` as
5632
parameters. (Robert Collins)
5633
5634
* Merge now has a retcode of 1 when conflicts occur. (Robert Collins)
5635
5636
* --merge-type weave is now supported for file contents. Tree-shape
5637
changes are still three-way based. (Martin Pool, Aaron Bentley)
5638
5639
* 'bzr check' allows the first revision on revision-history to have
5640
parents - something that is expected for cheap checkouts, and occurs
5641
when conversions from baz do not have all history. (Robert Collins).
5642
5643
* 'bzr merge' can now graft unrelated trees together, if your specify
5644
0 as a base. (Aaron Bentley)
5645
5646
* 'bzr commit branch' and 'bzr commit branch/file1 branch/file2' now work
5647
(Aaron Bentley)
5648
5649
* Add '.sconsign*' to default ignore list. (Alexander Belchenko)
5650
5651
* 'bzr merge --reprocess' minimizes conflicts
5652
5653
TESTING:
5654
5655
* The 'bzr selftest --pattern' option for has been removed, now
5656
test specifiers on the command line can be simple strings, or
5657
regexps, or both. (Robert Collins)
5658
5659
* Passing -v to selftest will now show the time each test took to
5660
complete, which will aid in analysing performance regressions and
5661
related questions. (Robert Collins)
5662
5663
* 'bzr selftest' runs all tests, even if one fails, unless '--one'
5664
is given. (Martin Pool)
5665
5666
* There is a new method for TestCaseInTempDir, assertFileEqual, which
5667
will check that a given content is equal to the content of the named
5668
file. (Robert Collins)
5669
5670
* Fix test suite's habit of leaving many temporary log files in $TMPDIR.
5671
(Martin Pool)
5672
5673
INTERNALS:
5674
5675
* New 'testament' command and concept for making gpg-signatures
5676
of revisions that are not tied to a particular internal
5677
representation. (Martin Pool).
5678
5679
* Per-revision properties ('revprops') as key-value associated
5680
strings on each revision created when the revision is committed.
5681
Intended mainly for the use of external tools. (Martin Pool).
5682
5683
* Config options have moved from bzrlib.osutils to bzrlib.config.
5684
(Robert Collins)
5685
5686
* Improved command line option definitions allowing explanations
5687
for individual options, among other things. Contributed by
5688
Magnus Therning.
5689
5690
* Config options have moved from bzrlib.osutils to bzrlib.config.
5691
Configuration is now done via the config.Config interface:
5692
Depending on whether you have a Branch, a Location or no information
5693
available, construct a ``*Config``, and use its ``signature_checking``,
5694
``username`` and ``user_email`` methods. (Robert Collins)
5695
5696
* Plugins are now loaded under bzrlib.plugins, not bzrlib.plugin, and
5697
they are made available for other plugins to use. You should not
5698
import other plugins during the ``__init__`` of your plugin though, as
5699
no ordering is guaranteed, and the plugins directory is not on the
5700
python path. (Robert Collins)
5701
5702
* Branch.relpath has been moved to WorkingTree.relpath. WorkingTree no
5703
no longer takes an inventory, rather it takes an option branch
5704
parameter, and if None is given will open the branch at basedir
5705
implicitly. (Robert Collins)
5706
5707
* Cleaner exception structure and error reporting. Suggested by
5708
Scott James Remnant. (Martin Pool)
5709
5710
* Branch.remove has been moved to WorkingTree, which has also gained
5711
``lock_read``, ``lock_write`` and ``unlock`` methods for convenience.
5712
(Robert Collins)
5713
5714
* Two decorators, ``needs_read_lock`` and ``needs_write_lock`` have been
5715
added to the branch module. Use these to cause a function to run in a
5716
read or write lock respectively. (Robert Collins)
5717
5718
* ``Branch.open_containing`` now returns a tuple (Branch, relative-path),
5719
which allows direct access to the common case of 'get me this file
5720
from its branch'. (Robert Collins)
5721
5722
* Transports can register using ``register_lazy_transport``, and they
5723
will be loaded when first used. (Martin Pool)
5724
5725
* 'pull' has been factored out of the command as ``WorkingTree.pull()``.
5726
A new option to WorkingTree.pull has been added, clobber, which will
5727
ignore diverged history and pull anyway.
5728
(Robert Collins)
5729
5730
* config.Config has a ``get_user_option`` call that accepts an option name.
5731
This will be looked up in branches.conf and bazaar.conf as normal.
5732
It is intended that this be used by plugins to support options -
5733
options of built in programs should have specific methods on the config.
5734
(Robert Collins)
5735
5736
* ``merge.merge_inner`` now has tempdir as an optional parameter.
5737
(Robert Collins)
5738
5739
* Tree.kind is not recorded at the top level of the hierarchy, as it was
5740
missing on EmptyTree, leading to a bug with merge on EmptyTrees.
5741
(Robert Collins)
5742
5743
* ``WorkingTree.__del__`` has been removed, it was non deterministic and not
5744
doing what it was intended to. See ``WorkingTree.__init__`` for a comment
5745
about future directions. (Robert Collins/Martin Pool)
5746
5747
* bzrlib.transport.http has been modified so that only 404 urllib errors
5748
are returned as NoSuchFile. Other exceptions will propogate as normal.
5749
This allows debuging of actual errors. (Robert Collins)
5750
5751
* bzrlib.transport.Transport now accepts *ONLY* url escaped relative paths
5752
to apis like 'put', 'get' and 'has'. This is to provide consistent
5753
behaviour - it operates on url's only. (Robert Collins)
5754
5755
* Transports can register using ``register_lazy_transport``, and they
5756
will be loaded when first used. (Martin Pool)
5757
5758
* ``merge_flex`` no longer calls ``conflict_handler.finalize()``, instead that
5759
is called by ``merge_inner``. This is so that the conflict count can be
5760
retrieved (and potentially manipulated) before returning to the caller
5761
of ``merge_inner``. Likewise 'merge' now returns the conflict count to the
5762
caller. (Robert Collins)
5763
5764
* ``revision.revision_graph`` can handle having only partial history for
5765
a revision - that is no revisions in the graph with no parents.
5766
(Robert Collins).
5767
5768
* New ``builtins.branch_files`` uses the standard ``file_list`` rules to
5769
produce a branch and a list of paths, relative to that branch
5770
(Aaron Bentley)
5771
5772
* New TestCase.addCleanup facility.
5773
5774
* New ``bzrlib.version_info`` tuple (similar to ``sys.version_info``),
5775
which can be used by programs importing bzrlib.
5776
5777
BUG FIXES:
5778
5779
* Better handling of branches in directories with non-ascii names.
5780
(Joel Rosdahl, Panagiotis Papadakos)
5781
5782
* Upgrades of trees with no commits will not fail due to accessing
5783
[-1] in the revision-history. (Andres Salomon)
5784
5785
5786
bzr 0.1.1 2005-10-12
5787
--------------------
5788
5789
BUG FIXES:
5790
5791
* Fix problem in pulling over http from machines that do not
5792
allow directories to be listed.
5793
5794
* Avoid harmless warning about invalid hash cache after
5795
upgrading branch format.
5796
5797
PERFORMANCE:
5798
5799
* Avoid some unnecessary http operations in branch and pull.

bzr 0.1 2005-10-11
5803
------------------
5804
5805
NOTES:
5806
5807
* 'bzr branch' over http initially gives a very high estimate
5808
of completion time but it should fall as the first few
5809
revisions are pulled in. branch is still slow on
5810
high-latency connections.
5811
5812
BUG FIXES:
5813
5814
* bzr-man.py has been updated to work again. Contributed by
5815
Rob Weir.
5816
5817
* Locking is now done with fcntl.lockf which works with NFS
5818
file systems. Contributed by Harald Meland.
5819
5820
* When a merge encounters a file that has been deleted on
5821
one side and modified on the other, the old contents are
5822
written out to foo.BASE and foo.SIDE, where SIDE is this
5823
or OTHER. Contributed by Aaron Bentley.
5824
5825
* Export was choosing incorrect file paths for the content of
5826
the tarball, this has been fixed by Aaron Bentley.
5827
5828
* Commit will no longer commit without a log message, an
5829
error is returned instead. Contributed by Jelmer Vernooij.
5830
5831
* If you commit a specific file in a sub directory, any of its
5832
parent directories that are added but not listed will be
5833
automatically included. Suggested by Michael Ellerman.
5834
5835
* bzr commit and upgrade did not correctly record new revisions
5836
for files with only a change to their executable status.
5837
bzr will correct this when it encounters it. Fixed by
5838
Robert Collins
5839
5840
* HTTP tests now force off the use of ``http_proxy`` for the duration.
5841
Contributed by Gustavo Niemeyer.
5842
5843
* Fix problems in merging weave-based branches that have
5844
different partial views of history.
5845
5846
* Symlink support: working with symlinks when not in the root of a
5847
bzr tree was broken, patch from Scott James Remnant.
5848
5849
IMPROVEMENTS:
5850
5851
* 'branch' now accepts a --basis parameter which will take advantage
5852
of local history when making a new branch. This allows faster
5853
branching of remote branches. Contributed by Aaron Bentley.
5854
5855
* New tree format based on weave files, called version 5.
5856
Existing branches can be upgraded to this format using
5857
'bzr upgrade'.
5858
5859
* Symlinks are now versionable. Initial patch by
5860
Erik Toubro Nielsen, updated to head by Robert Collins.
5861
5862
* Executable bits are tracked on files. Patch from Gustavo
5863
Niemeyer.
5864
5865
* 'bzr status' now shows unknown files inside a selected directory.
5866
Patch from Heikki Paajanen.
5867
5868
* Merge conflicts are recorded in .bzr. Two new commands 'conflicts'
5869
and 'resolve' have needed added, which list and remove those
5870
merge conflicts respectively. A conflicted tree cannot be committed
5871
in. Contributed by Aaron Bentley.
5872
5873
* 'rm' is now an alias for 'remove'.
5874
5875
* Stores now split out their content in a single byte prefixed hash,
5876
dropping the density of files per directory by 256. Contributed by
5877
Gustavo Niemeyer.
5878
5879
* 'bzr diff -r branch:URL' will now perform a diff between two branches.
5880
Contributed by Robert Collins.
5881
5882
* 'bzr log' with the default formatter will show merged revisions,
5883
indented to the right. Initial implementation contributed by Gustavo
5884
Niemeyer, made incremental by Robert Collins.
5885
5886
5887
INTERNALS:
5888
5889
* Test case failures have the exception printed after the log
5890
for your viewing pleasure.
5891
5892
* InventoryEntry is now an abstract base class, use one of the
5893
concrete InventoryDirectory etc classes instead.
5894
5895
* Branch raises an UnsupportedFormatError when it detects a
5896
bzr branch it cannot understand. This allows for precise
5897
handling of such circumstances.
5898
5899
* Remove RevisionReference class; ``Revision.parent_ids`` is now simply a
5900
list of their ids and ``parent_sha1s`` is a list of their corresponding
5901
sha1s (for old branches only at the moment.)
5902
5903
* New method-object style interface for Commit() and Fetch().
5904
5905
* Renamed ``Branch.last_patch()`` to ``Branch.last_revision()``, since
5906
we call them revisions not patches.
5907
5908
* Move ``copy_branch`` to ``bzrlib.clone.copy_branch``. The destination
5909
directory is created if it doesn't exist.
5910
5911
* Inventories now identify the files which were present by
5912
giving the revision *of that file*.
5913
5914
* Inventory and Revision XML contains a version identifier.
5915
This must be consistent with the overall branch version
5916
but allows for more flexibility in future upgrades.
5917
5918
TESTING:
5919
5920
* Removed testsweet module so that tests can be run after
5921
bzr installed by 'bzr selftest'.
5922
5923
* 'bzr selftest' command-line arguments can now be partial ids
5924
of tests to run, e.g. ``bzr selftest test_weave``
5925

5927
bzr 0.0.9 2005-09-23
5928
--------------------
5929
5930
BUG FIXES:
5931
5932
* Fixed "branch -r" option.
5933
5934
* Fix remote access to branches containing non-compressed history.
5935
(Robert Collins).
5936
5937
* Better reliability of http server tests. (John Arbash-Meinel)
5938
5939
* Merge graph maximum distance calculation fix. (Aaron Bentley)
5940
5941
* Various minor bug in windows support have been fixed, largely in the
5942
test suite. Contributed by Alexander Belchenko.
5943
5944
IMPROVEMENTS:
5945
5946
* Status now accepts a -r argument to give status between chosen
5947
revisions. Contributed by Heikki Paajanen.
5948
5949
* Revision arguments no longer use +/-/= to control ranges, instead
5950
there is a 'before' namespace, which limits the successive namespace.
5951
For example '$ bzr log -r date:yesterday..before:date:today' will
5952
select everything from yesterday and before today. Contributed by
5953
Robey Pointer
5954
5955
* There is now a bzr.bat file created by distutils when building on
5956
Windows. Contributed by Alexander Belchenko.
5957
5958
INTERNALS:
5959
5960
* Removed uuid() as it was unused.
5961
5962
* Improved 'fetch' code for pulling revisions from one branch into
5963
another (used by pull, merged, etc.)
5964
5965
5966
bzr 0.0.8 2005-09-20
5967
--------------------
5968
5969
IMPROVEMENTS:
5970
5971
* Adding a file whose parent directory is not versioned will
5972
implicitly add the parent, and so on up to the root. This means
5973
you should never need to explictly add a directory, they'll just
5974
get added when you add a file in the directory. Contributed by
5975
Michael Ellerman.
5976
5977
* Ignore ``.DS_Store`` (contains Mac metadata) by default.
5978
(Nir Soffer)
5979
5980
* If you set ``BZR_EDITOR`` in the environment, it is checked in
5981
preference to EDITOR and the config file for the interactive commit
5982
editing program. Related to this is a bugfix where a missing program
5983
set in EDITOR would cause editing to fail, now the fallback program
5984
for the operating system is still tried.
5985
5986
* Files that are not directories/symlinks/regular files will no longer
5987
cause bzr to fail, it will just ignore them by default. You cannot add
5988
them to the tree though - they are not versionable.
5989
5990
5991
INTERNALS:
5992
5993
* Refactor xml packing/unpacking.
5994
5995
BUG FIXES:
5996
5997
* Fixed 'bzr mv' by Ollie Rutherfurd.
5998
5999
* Fixed strange error when trying to access a nonexistent http
6000
branch.
6001
6002
* Make sure that the hashcache gets written out if it can't be
6003
read.
6004
6005
6006
PORTABILITY:
6007
6008
* Various Windows fixes from Ollie Rutherfurd.
6009
6010
* Quieten warnings about locking; patch from Matt Lavin.

bzr-0.0.7 2005-09-02
6014
--------------------
6015
6016
NEW FEATURES:
6017
6018
* ``bzr shell-complete`` command contributed by Clint Adams to
6019
help with intelligent shell completion.
6020
6021
* New expert command ``bzr find-merge-base`` for debugging merges.
6022
6023
6024
ENHANCEMENTS:
6025
6026
* Much better merge support.
6027
6028
* merge3 conflicts are now reported with markers like '<<<<<<<'
6029
(seven characters) which is the same as CVS and pleases things
6030
like emacs smerge.
6031
6032
6033
BUG FIXES:
6034
6035
* ``bzr upgrade`` no longer fails when trying to fix trees that
6036
mention revisions that are not present.
6037
6038
* Fixed bugs in listing plugins from ``bzr plugins``.
6039
6040
* Fix case of $EDITOR containing options for the editor.
6041
6042
* Fix log -r refusing to show the last revision.
6043
(Patch from Goffredo Baroncelli.)
6044
6045
6046
CHANGES:
6047
6048
* ``bzr log --show-ids`` shows the revision ids of all parents.
6049
6050
* Externally provided commands on your $BZRPATH no longer need
6051
to recognize --bzr-usage to work properly, and can just handle
6052
--help themselves.
6053
6054
6055
LIBRARY:
6056
6057
* Changed trace messages to go through the standard logging
6058
framework, so that they can more easily be redirected by
6059
libraries.
6060
6061
6062
6063
bzr-0.0.6 2005-08-18
6064
--------------------
6065
6066
NEW FEATURES:
6067
6068
* Python plugins, automatically loaded from the directories on
6069
``BZR_PLUGIN_PATH`` or ``~/.bzr.conf/plugins`` by default.
6070
6071
* New 'bzr mkdir' command.
6072
6073
* Commit mesage is fetched from an editor if not given on the
6074
command line; patch from Torsten Marek.
6075
6076
* ``bzr log -m FOO`` displays commits whose message matches regexp
6077
FOO.
6078
6079
* ``bzr add`` with no arguments adds everything under the current directory.
6080
6081
* ``bzr mv`` does move or rename depending on its arguments, like
6082
the Unix command.
6083
6084
* ``bzr missing`` command shows a summary of the differences
6085
between two trees. (Merged from John Arbash-Meinel.)
6086
6087
* An email address for commits to a particular tree can be
6088
specified by putting it into .bzr/email within a branch. (Based
6089
on a patch from Heikki Paajanen.)
6090
6091
6092
ENHANCEMENTS:
6093
6094
* Faster working tree operations.
6095
6096
6097
CHANGES:
6098
6099
* 3rd-party modules shipped with bzr are copied within the bzrlib
6100
python package, so that they can be installed by the setup
6101
script without clashing with anything already existing on the
6102
system. (Contributed by Gustavo Niemeyer.)
6103
6104
* Moved plugins directory to bzrlib/, so that there's a standard
6105
plugin directory which is not only installed with bzr itself but
6106
is also available when using bzr from the development tree.
6107
``BZR_PLUGIN_PATH`` and ``DEFAULT_PLUGIN_PATH`` are then added to the
6108
standard plugins directory.
6109
6110
* When exporting to a tarball with ``bzr export --format tgz``, put
6111
everything under a top directory rather than dumping it into the
6112
current directory. This can be overridden with the ``--root``
6113
option. Patch from William Dodé and John Meinel.
6114
6115
* New ``bzr upgrade`` command to upgrade the format of a branch,
6116
replacing ``bzr check --update``.
6117
6118
* Files within store directories are no longer marked readonly on
6119
disk.
6120
6121
* Changed ``bzr log`` output to a more compact form suggested by
6122
John A Meinel. Old format is available with the ``--long`` or
6123
``-l`` option, patched by William Dodé.
6124
6125
* By default the commit command refuses to record a revision with
6126
no changes unless the ``--unchanged`` option is given.
6127
6128
* The ``--no-plugins``, ``--profile`` and ``--builtin`` command
6129
line options must come before the command name because they
6130
affect what commands are available; all other options must come
6131
after the command name because their interpretation depends on
6132
it.
6133
6134
* ``branch`` and ``clone`` added as aliases for ``branch``.
6135
6136
* Default log format is back to the long format; the compact one
6137
is available with ``--short``.
6138
6139
6140
BUG FIXES:
6141
6142
* Fix bugs in committing only selected files or within a subdirectory.
6143
6144
6145
bzr-0.0.5 2005-06-15
6146
---------------------
6147
6148
CHANGES:
6149
6150
* ``bzr`` with no command now shows help rather than giving an
6151
error. Suggested by Michael Ellerman.
6152
6153
* ``bzr status`` output format changed, because svn-style output
6154
doesn't really match the model of bzr. Now files are grouped by
6155
status and can be shown with their IDs. ``bzr status --all``
6156
shows all versioned files and unknown files but not ignored files.
6157
6158
* ``bzr log`` runs from most-recent to least-recent, the reverse
6159
of the previous order. The previous behaviour can be obtained
6160
with the ``--forward`` option.
6161
6162
* ``bzr inventory`` by default shows only filenames, and also ids
6163
if ``--show-ids`` is given, in which case the id is the second
6164
field.
6165
6166
6167
ENHANCEMENTS:
6168
6169
* New 'bzr whoami --email' option shows only the email component
6170
of the user identification, from Jo Vermeulen.
6171
6172
* New ``bzr ignore PATTERN`` command.
6173
6174
* Nicer error message for broken pipe, interrupt and similar
6175
conditions that don't indicate an internal error.
6176
6177
* Add ``.*.sw[nop] .git .*.tmp *,v`` to default ignore patterns.
6178
6179
* Per-branch locks keyed on ``.bzr/branch-lock``, available in
6180
either read or write mode.
6181
6182
* New option ``bzr log --show-ids`` shows revision and file ids.
6183
6184
* New usage ``bzr log FILENAME`` shows only revisions that
6185
affected that file.
6186
6187
* Changed format for describing changes in ``bzr log -v``.
6188
6189
* New option ``bzr commit --file`` to take a message from a file,
6190
suggested by LarstiQ.
6191
6192
* New syntax ``bzr status [FILE...]`` contributed by Bartosz
6193
Oler. File may be in a branch other than the working directory.
6194
6195
* ``bzr log`` and ``bzr root`` can be given an http URL instead of
6196
a filename.
6197
6198
* Commands can now be defined by external programs or scripts
6199
in a directory on $BZRPATH.
6200
6201
* New "stat cache" avoids reading the contents of files if they
6202
haven't changed since the previous time.
6203
6204
* If the Python interpreter is too old, try to find a better one
6205
or give an error. Based on a patch from Fredrik Lundh.
6206
6207
* New optional parameter ``bzr info [BRANCH]``.
6208
6209
* New form ``bzr commit SELECTED`` to commit only selected files.
6210
6211
* New form ``bzr log -r FROM:TO`` shows changes in selected
6212
range; contributed by John A Meinel.
6213
6214
* New option ``bzr diff --diff-options 'OPTS'`` allows passing
6215
options through to an external GNU diff.
6216
6217
* New option ``bzr add --no-recurse`` to add a directory but not
6218
their contents.
6219
6220
* ``bzr --version`` now shows more information if bzr is being run
6221
from a branch.
6222
6223
6224
BUG FIXES:
6225
6226
* Fixed diff format so that added and removed files will be
6227
handled properly by patch. Fix from Lalo Martins.
6228
6229
* Various fixes for files whose names contain spaces or other
6230
metacharacters.
6231
6232
6233
TESTING:
6234
6235
* Converted black-box test suites from Bourne shell into Python;
6236
now run using ``./testbzr``. Various structural improvements to
6237
the tests.
6238
6239
* testbzr by default runs the version of bzr found in the same
6240
directory as the tests, or the one given as the first parameter.
6241
6242
* testbzr also runs the internal tests, so the only command
6243
required to check is just ``./testbzr``.
6244
6245
* testbzr requires python2.4, but can be used to test bzr running
6246
under a different version.
6247
6248
* Tests added for many other changes in this release.
6249
6250
6251
INTERNAL:
6252
6253
* Included ElementTree library upgraded to 1.2.6 by Fredrik Lundh.
6254
6255
* Refactor command functions into Command objects based on HCT by
6256
Scott James Remnant.
6257
6258
* Better help messages for many commands.
6259
6260
* Expose ``bzrlib.open_tracefile()`` to start the tracefile; until
6261
this is called trace messages are just discarded.
6262
6263
* New internal function ``find_touching_revisions()`` and hidden
6264
command touching-revisions trace the changes to a given file.
6265
6266
* Simpler and faster ``compare_inventories()`` function.
6267
6268
* ``bzrlib.open_tracefile()`` takes a tracefilename parameter.
6269
6270
* New AtomicFile class.
6271
6272
* New developer commands ``added``, ``modified``.
6273
6274
6275
PORTABILITY:
6276
6277
* Cope on Windows on python2.3 by using the weaker random seed.
6278
2.4 is now only recommended.
6279
6280
6281
bzr-0.0.4 2005-04-22
6282
---------------------
6283
6284
ENHANCEMENTS:
6285
6286
* 'bzr diff' optionally takes a list of files to diff. Still a bit
6287
basic. Patch from QuantumG.
6288
6289
* More default ignore patterns.
6290
6291
* New 'bzr log --verbose' shows a list of files changed in the
6292
changeset. Patch from Sebastian Cote.
6293
6294
* Roll over ~/.bzr.log if it gets too large.
6295
6296
* Command abbreviations 'ci', 'st', 'stat', '?' based on a patch
6297
by Jason Diamon.
6298
6299
* New 'bzr help commands' based on a patch from Denys Duchier.
6300
6301
6302
CHANGES:
6303
6304
* User email is determined by looking at $BZREMAIL or ~/.bzr.email
6305
or $EMAIL. All are decoded by the locale preferred encoding.
6306
If none of these are present user@hostname is used. The host's
6307
fully-qualified name is not used because that tends to fail when
6308
there are DNS problems.
6309
6310
* New 'bzr whoami' command instead of username user-email.
6311
6312
6313
BUG FIXES:
6314
6315
* Make commit safe for hardlinked bzr trees.
6316
6317
* Some Unicode/locale fixes.
6318
6319
* Partial workaround for ``difflib.unified_diff`` not handling
6320
trailing newlines properly.
6321
6322
6323
INTERNAL:
6324
6325
* Allow docstrings for help to be in PEP0257 format. Patch from
6326
Matt Brubeck.
6327
6328
* More tests in test.sh.
6329
6330
* Write profile data to a temporary file not into working
6331
directory and delete it when done.
6332
6333
* Smaller .bzr.log with process ids.
6334
6335
6336
PORTABILITY:
6337
6338
* Fix opening of ~/.bzr.log on Windows. Patch from Andrew
6339
Bennetts.
6340
6341
* Some improvements in handling paths on Windows, based on a patch
6342
from QuantumG.

6345
bzr-0.0.3 2005-04-06
6346

6349
6350
* New "directories" internal command lists versioned directories
6351
in the tree.
6352
6353

6354
6355
* New "rename" command to rename one file to a different name
6356
and/or directory.
6357
6358
* New "move" command to move one or more files into a different
6359
directory.
6360
6361
* New "renames" command lists files renamed since base revision.
6362
6363
* New cat command contributed by janmar.
6364
6365
CHANGES:
6366
6367
* .bzr.log is placed in $HOME (not pwd) and is always written in
6368
UTF-8. (Probably not a completely good long-term solution, but
6369
will do for now.)
6370
6371
PORTABILITY:
6372
6373
* Workaround for difflib bug in Python 2.3 that causes an
6374
exception when comparing empty files. Reported by Erik Toubro
6375
Nielsen.
6376
6377
INTERNAL:
6378
6379
* Refactored inventory storage to insert a root entry at the top.
6380
6381
TESTING:
6382

6395
-----------------------------------
6396
6397
ENHANCEMENTS:
6398
6399
* Default ignore list extended (see bzrlib/__init__.py).
6400
6401
* Patterns in .bzrignore are now added to the default ignore list,
6402
rather than replacing it.
6403
6404
* Ignore list isn't reread for every file.
6405
6406
* More help topics.
6407
6408
* Reinstate the 'bzr check' command to check invariants of the
6409
branch.
6410
6411
* New 'ignored' command lists which files are ignored and why;
6412
'deleted' lists files deleted in the current working tree.
6413
6414
* Performance improvements.
6415
6416
* New global --profile option.
6417
6418
* Ignore patterns like './config.h' now correctly match files in
6419
the root directory only.
6420
6421
6422
bzr-0.0.1 2005-03-26
6423

6425
ENHANCEMENTS:
6426
6427
* More information from info command.
6428
6429

6430
6431
* Less file flushing and faster performance when writing logs and
6432
committing to stores.
6433
6434
* More useful verbose output from some commands.
6435
6436
BUG FIXES:
6437
6438

6439
6440
PORTABILITY:
6441
6442
* Include a subset of ElementTree-1.2.20040618 to make
6443
installation easier.
6444
6445
* Fix time.localtime call to work with Python 2.3 (the minimum
6446
supported).
6447
6448
6449
bzr-0.0.0.69 2005-03-22
6450
------------------------
6451
6452
ENHANCEMENTS:
6453
6454
* First public release.
