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

11
FEATURES:
12
13
14
IMPROVEMENTS:
15
16
* Implemented a custom ``walkdirs_utf8`` implementation for win32.
17
This uses a pyrex extension to get direct access to the
18
``FindFirstFileW`` style apis, rather than using ``listdir`` +
19
``lstat``. Shows a very strong improvement in commands like
20
``status`` and ``diff`` which have to iterate the working tree.
21
Anywhere from 2x-6x faster depending on the size of the tree (bigger
22
trees, bigger benefit.) (John Arbash Meinel)

bzr 1.6beta3 2008-07-17
42
-----------------------
43
44
FEATURES:
45
46
* New ``pre_change_branch_tip`` hook that is called before the
47
branch tip is moved, while the branch is write-locked. See the User
48
Reference for signature details. (Andrew Bennetts)
49
50
* Rule-based preferences can now be defined for selected files in
51
selected branches, allowing commands and plugins to provide
52
custom behaviour for files matching defined patterns.
53
See ``Rule-based preferences`` (part of ``Configuring Bazaar``)
54
in the User Guide and ``bzr help rules`` for more information.
55
(Ian Clatworthy)
56
57
* Sites may suggest a branch to stack new branches on. (Aaron Bentley)
58
59
* Stacked branches are now supported. See ``bzr help branch`` and
60
``bzr help push``. (Robert Collins)
61
62
IMPROVEMENTS:
63
64
* ``bzr export --format=tgz --root=NAME -`` to export a gzipped tarball
65
to stdout; also ``tar`` and ``tbz2``.
66
(Martin Pool)
67
68
* ``bzr (re)merge --weave`` will now use a standard Weave algorithm,
69
rather than the annotation-based merge it was using. It does so by
70
building up a Weave of the important texts, without needing to build
71
the full ancestry. (John Arbash Meinel, #238895)
72
73
* ``bzr send`` documents and better supports ``emacsclient`` (proper
74
escaping of mail headers and handling of the MUA Mew).
75
(Christophe Troestler)
76
77
* Remembered locations can be specified by aliases, e.g. :parent, :public,
78
:submit. (Aaron Bentley)
79
80
* The smart protocol now has improved support for setting branches'
81
revision info directly. This makes operations like push
82
faster. The new request method name is
83
``Branch.set_last_revision_ex``. (Andrew Bennetts)
84
85
* New registry for log properties handles and the method in
86
LongLogFormatter to display the custom properties returned by the
87
registered handlers. (Guillermo Gonzalez, #162469)
88
89
BUG FIXES:
90
91
* Bazaar is now able to be a client to the web server of IIS 6 and 7.
92
The broken implementations of RFC822 in Python and RFC2046 in IIS
93
combined with boundary-line checking in Bazaar previously made this
94
impossible. (NB, IIS 5 does not suffer from this problem).
95
(Adrian Wilkins, #247585)
96
97
* ``bzr log --long`` with a ghost in your mainline now handles that
98
ghost properly. (John Arbash Meinel, #243536)
99
100
* ``check`` handles the split-up .bzr layout correctly, so no longer
101
requires a branch to be present.
102
(Daniel Watkins, #64783)
103
104
* ``bzr serve --directory=/`` now correctly allows the whole
105
filesystem to be accessed on Windows, not just the root of the drive
106
that Python is running from.
107
(Adrian Wilkins, #240910)
108
109
* Clearer message about how to set the PYTHONPATH if bzrlib can't be
110
loaded.
111
(Martin Pool, #205230)
112
113
* Errors about missing libraries are now shown without a traceback,
114
and with a suggestion to install the library. The full traceback is
115
still in ``.bzr.log`` and can be shown with ``-Derror``.
116
(Martin Pool, #240161)
117
118
* Fixed problem in branching from smart server.
119
(#249256, Michael Hudson, Martin Pool)
120
121
* Fetch from a stacked branch copies all required data.
122
(Aaron Bentley, #248506)
123
124
* Handle urls such as ftp://user@host.com@www.host.com where the user
125
name contains an @.
126
(Neil Martinsen-Burrell, #228058)
127
128
* ``needs_read_lock`` and ``needs_write_lock`` now suppress an error during
129
``unlock`` if there was an error in the original function. This helps
130
most when there is a failure with a smart server action, since often the
131
connection closes and we cannot unlock.
132
(Andrew Bennetts, John Arbash Meinel, #125784)
133
134
* Obsolete hidden command ``bzr fetch`` removed.
135
(Martin Pool, #172870)
136
137
* Raise the correct exception when doing ``-rbefore:0`` or ``-c0``.
138
(John Arbash Meinel, #239933)
139
140
* You can now compare file revisions in Windows diff programs from
141
Cygwin Bazaar.
142
(Matt McClure, #209281)
143
144
* revision_history now tolerates mainline ghosts for Branch format 6.
145
(Aaron Bentley, #235055)
146
147
* Set locale from environment for third party libs.
148
(Martin von Gagern, #128496)
149
150
DOCUMENTATION:
151
152
* Added *Using stacked branches* to the User Guide.
153
(Ian Clatworthy)
154
155
* Updated developer documentation.
156
(Martin Pool)
157
158
TESTING:
159
160
* ``-Dmemory`` will cause /proc/PID/status to be catted before bzr
161
exits, allowing low-key analysis of peak memory use. (Robert Collins)
162
163
* ``TestCaseWithTransport.make_branch_and_tree`` tries harder to return
164
a tree with a ``branch`` attribute of the right format. This was
165
preventing some ``RemoteBranch`` tests from actually running with
166
``RemoteBranch`` instances. (Andrew Bennetts)
167
168
API CHANGES:
169
170
* Removed ``Repository.text_store``, ``control_store``, etc. Instead,
171
there are new attributes ``texts, inventories, revisions,
172
signatures``, each of which is a ``VersionedFiles``. See the
173
Repository docstring for more details.
174
(Robert Collins)
175
176
* ``Branch.pull`` now accepts an ``_override_hook_target`` optional
177
parameter. If you have a subclass of ``Branch`` that overrides
178
``pull`` then you should add this parameter. (Andrew Bennetts)
179
180
* ``bzrlib.check.check()`` has been deprecated in favour of the more
181
aptly-named ``bzrlib.check.check_branch()``.
182
(Daniel Watkins)
183
184
* ``Tree.print_file`` and ``Repository.print_file`` are deprecated.
185
These methods are bad APIs because they write directly to sys.stdout.
186
bzrlib does not use them internally, and there are no direct tests
187
for them. (Alexander Belchenko)
188
189
INTERNALS:
190
191
* ``cat`` command no longer uses ``Tree.print_file()`` internally.
192
(Alexander Belchenko)
193
194
* New class method ``BzrDir.open_containing_tree_branch_or_repository``
195
which eases the discovery of the tree, the branch and the repository
196
containing a given location.
197
(Daniel Watkins)
198
199
* New ``versionedfile.KeyMapper`` interface to abstract out the access to
200
underlying .knit/.kndx etc files in repositories with partitioned
201
storage. (Robert Collins)
202
203
* Obsolete developer-use command ``weave-join`` has been removed.
204
(Robert Collins)
205
206
* ``RemoteToOtherFetcher`` and ``get_data_stream_for_search`` removed,
207
to support new ``VersionedFiles`` layering.
208
(Robert Collins)
209
210
211
bzr 1.6beta2 2008-06-10
212
-----------------------
213
214
This release contains further progress towards our 1.6 goals of shallow
215
repositories, and contains a fix for some user-affecting bugs in the
216
repository layer. Building working trees during checkout and branch is
217
now faster.
218
219
BUG FIXES:
220
221
* Avoid KnitCorrupt error extracting inventories from some repositories.
222
(The data is not corrupt; an internal check is detecting a problem
223
reading from the repository.)
224
(Martin Pool, Andrew Bennetts, Robert Collins, #234748)
225
226
* ``bzr status`` was breaking if you merged the same revision twice.
227
(John Arbash Meinel, #235407)
228
229
* Fix infinite loop consuming 100% CPU when a connection is lost while
230
reading a response body via the smart protocol v1 or v2.
231
(Andrew Bennetts)
232
233
* Inserting a bundle which changes the contents of a file with no trailing
234
end of line, causing a knit snapshot in a 'knits' repository will no longer
235
cause KnitCorrupt. (Robert Collins)
236
237
* ``RemoteBranch.pull`` needs to return the ``self._real_branch``'s
238
pull result. It was instead just returning None, which breaks ``bzr
239
pull``. (John Arbash Meinel, #238149)
240
241
* Sanitize branch nick before using it as an attachment filename in
242
``bzr send``. (Lukáš Lalinský, #210218)
243
244
* Squash ``inv_entry.symlink_target`` to a plain string when
245
generating DirState details. This prevents from getting a
246
``UnicodeError`` when you have symlinks and non-ascii filenames.
247
(John Arbash Meinel, #135320)
248
249
IMPROVEMENTS:
250
251
* Added the 'alias' command to set/unset and display aliases. (Tim Penhey)
252
253
* ``added``, ``modified``, and ``unknowns`` behaviour made consistent (all three
254
now quote paths where required). Added ``--null`` option to ``added`` and
255
``modified`` (for null-separated unknowns, use ``ls --unknown --null``)
256
(Adrian Wilkins)
257
258
* Faster branching (1.09x) and lightweight checkouts (1.06x) on large trees.
259
(Ian Clatworthy, Aaron Bentley)
260
261
DOCUMENTATION:
262
263
* Added *Bazaar Zen* section to the User Guide. (Ian Clatworthy)
264
265
TESTING:
266
267
* Fix the test HTTPServer to be isolated from chdir calls made while it is
268
running, allowing it to be used in blackbox tests. (Robert Collins)
269
270
API CHANGES:
271
272
* ``WorkingTree.set_parent_(ids/trees)`` will now filter out revisions
273
which are in the ancestry of other revisions. So if you merge the same
274
tree twice, or merge an ancestor of an existing merge, it will only
275
record the newest. (If you merge a descendent, it will replace its
276
ancestor). (John Arbash Meinel, #235407)
277
278
* ``RepositoryPolicy.__init__`` now requires stack_on and stack_on_pwd,
279
through the derived classes do not. (Aaron Bentley)
280
281
INTERNALS:
282
283
* ``bzrlib.bzrdir.BzrDir.sprout`` now accepts ``stacked`` to control
284
creating stacked branches. (Robert Collins)
285
286
* Knit record serialisation is now stricter on what it will accept, to
287
guard against potential internal bugs, or broken input. (Robert Collins)
288
289
290
bzr 1.6beta1 2008-06-02
291
-----------------------
292
293
294
Commands that work on the revision history such as push, pull, missing,
295
uncommit and log are now substantially faster. This release adds a
296
translation of some of the user documentation into Spanish. (Contributions of
297
other translations would be very welcome.) Bazaar 1.6beta1 adds a new network
298
protocol which is used by default and which allows for more efficient transfers
299
and future extensions.
300
301
302
NOTES WHEN UPGRADING:
303
304
* There is a new version of the network protocol used for bzr://, bzr+ssh://
305
and bzr+http:// connections. This will allow more efficient requests and
306
responses, and more graceful fallback when a server is too old to
307
recognise a request from a more recent client. Bazaar 1.6 will
308
interoperate with 0.16 and later versions, but servers should be upgraded
309
when possible. Bazaar 1.6 no longer interoperates with 0.15 and earlier via
310
these protocols. Use alternatives like SFTP or upgrade those servers.
311
(Andrew Bennetts, #83935)
312
313
CHANGES:
314
315
* Deprecation warnings will not be suppressed when running ``bzr selftest``
316
so that developers can see if their code is using deprecated functions.
317
(John Arbash Meinel)
318
319
FEATURES:
320
321
* Adding ``-Derror`` will now display a traceback when a plugin fails to
322
load. (James Westby)
323
324
IMPROVEMENTS:
325
326
* ``bzr branch/push/pull -r XXX`` now have a helper function for finding
327
the revno of the new revision (``Graph.find_distance_to_null``). This
328
should make something like ``bzr branch -r -100`` in a shared, no-trees
329
repository much snappier. (John Arbash Meinel)
330
331
* ``bzr log --short -r X..Y`` no longer needs to access the full revision
332
history. This makes it noticeably faster when logging the last few
333
revisions. (John Arbash Meinel)
334
335
* ``bzr ls`` now accepts ``-V`` as an alias for ``--versioned``.
336
(Jerad Cramp, #165086)
337
338
* ``bzr missing`` uses the new ``Graph.find_unique_ancestors`` and
339
``Graph.find_differences`` to determine missing revisions without having
340
to search the whole ancestry. (John Arbash Meinel, #174625)
341
342
* ``bzr uncommit`` now uses partial history access, rather than always
343
extracting the full revision history for a branch. This makes it
344
resolve the appropriate revisions much faster (in testing it drops
345
uncommit from 1.5s => 0.4s). It also means ``bzr log --short`` is one
346
step closer to not using full revision history.
347
(John Arbash Meinel, #172649)
348
349
BUGFIXES:
350
351
* ``bzr merge --lca`` should handle when two revisions have no common
352
ancestor other than NULL_REVISION. (John Arbash Meinel, #235715)
353
354
* ``bzr status`` was breaking if you merged the same revision twice.
355
(John Arbash Meinel, #235407)
356
357
* ``bzr push`` with both ``--overwrite`` and ``-r NNN`` options no longer
358
fails. (Andrew Bennetts, #234229)
359
360
* Correctly track the base URL of a smart medium when using bzr+http://
361
URLs, which was causing spurious "No repository present" errors with
362
branches in shared repositories accessed over bzr+http.
363
(Andrew Bennetts, #230550)
364
365
* Define ``_remote_is_at_least_1_2`` on ``SmartClientMedium`` so that all
366
implementations have the attribute. Fixes 'PyCurlTransport' object has no
367
attribute '_remote_is_at_least_1_2' attribute errors.
368
(Andrew Bennetts, #220806)
369
370
* Failure to delete an obsolete pack file should just give a warning
371
message, not a fatal error. It may for example fail if the file is still
372
in use by another process.
373
(Martin Pool)
374
375
* Fix MemoryError during large fetches over HTTP by limiting the amount of
376
data we try to read per ``recv`` call. The problem was observed with
377
Windows and a proxy, but might affect other environments as well.
378
(Eric Holmberg, #215426)
379
380
* Handle old merge directives correctly in Merger.from_mergeable. Stricter
381
get_parent_map requirements exposed a latent bug here. (Aaron Bentley)
382
383
* Issue a warning and ignore passwords declared in authentication.conf when
384
used for an ssh scheme (sftp or bzr+ssh).
385
(Vincent Ladeuil, #203186)
386
387
* Make both http implementations raise appropriate exceptions on 403
388
Forbidden when POSTing smart requests.
389
(Vincent Ladeuil, #230223)
390
391
* Properly *title* header names in http requests instead of capitalizing
392
them.
393
(Vincent Ladeuil, #229076)
394
395
* The "Unable to obtain lock" error message now also suggests using
396
``bzr break-lock`` to fix it. (Martin Albisetti, #139202)
397
398
* Treat an encoding of '' as ascii; this can happen when bzr is run
399
under vim on Mac OS X.
400
(Neil Martinsen-Burrell)
401
402
* ``VersionedFile.make_mpdiffs()`` was raising an exception that wasn't in
403
scope. (Daniel Fischer #235687)
404
405
DOCUMENTATION:
406
407
* Added directory structure and started translation of docs in spanish.
408
(Martin Albisetti, Lucio Albenga)
409
410
* Incorporate feedback from Jelmer Vernooij and Neil Martinsen-Burrell
411
on the plugin and integration chapters of the User Guide.
412
(Ian Clatworthy)
413
414
* More Bazaar developer documentation about packaging and release process,
415
and about use of Python reprs.
416
(Martin Pool, Martin Albisetti)
417
418
* Updated Tortise strategy document. (Mark Hammond)
419
420
TESTING:
421
422
* ``bzrlib.tests.adapt_tests`` was broken and unused - it has been fixed.
423
(Robert Collins)
424
425
* Fix the test HTTPServer to be isolated from chdir calls made while it is
426
running, allowing it to be used in blackbox tests. (Robert Collins)
427
428
* New helper function for splitting test suites
429
``split_suite_by_condition``. (Robert Collins)
430
431
INTERNALS:
432
433
* ``Branch.missing_revisions`` has been deprecated. Similar functionality
434
can be obtained using ``bzrlib.missing.find_unmerged``. The api was
435
fairly broken, and the function was unused, so we are getting rid of it.
436
(John Arbash Meinel)
437
438
API CHANGES:
439
440
* ``Branch.abspath`` is deprecated; use the Tree or Transport
441
instead. (Martin Pool)
442
443
* ``Branch.update_revisions`` now takes an optional ``Graph``
444
object. This can be used by ``update_revisions`` when it is
445
checking ancestry, and allows callers to prefer request to go to a
446
local branch. (John Arbash Meinel)
447
448
* Branch, Repository, Tree and BzrDir should expose a Transport as an
449
attribute if they have one, rather than having it indirectly accessible
450
as ``.control_files._transport``. This doesn't add a requirement
451
to support a Transport in cases where it was not needed before;
452
it just simplifies the way it is reached. (Martin Pool)
453
454
* ``bzr missing --mine-only`` will return status code 0 if you have no
455
new revisions, but the remote does. Similarly for ``--theirs-only``.
456
The new code only checks one side, so it doesn't know if the other
457
side has changes. This seems more accurate with the request anyway.
458
It also changes the output to print '[This|Other] branch is up to
459
date.' rather than displaying nothing. (John Arbash Meinel)
460
461
* ``LockableFiles.put_utf8``, ``put_bytes`` and ``controlfilename``
462
are now deprecated in favor of using Transport operations.
463
(Martin Pool)
464
465
* Many methods on ``VersionedFile``, ``Repository`` and in
466
``bzrlib.revision`` deprecated before bzrlib 1.5 have been removed.
467
(Robert Collins)
468
469
* ``RevisionSpec.wants_revision_history`` can be set to False for a given
470
``RevisionSpec``. This will disable the existing behavior of passing in
471
the full revision history to ``self._match_on``. Useful for specs that
472
don't actually need access to the full history. (John Arbash Meinel)
473
474
* The constructors of ``SmartClientMedium`` and its subclasses now require a
475
``base`` parameter. ``SmartClientMedium`` implementations now also need
476
to provide a ``remote_path_from_transport`` method. (Andrew Bennetts)
477
478
* The default permissions for creating new files and directories
479
should now be obtained from ``BzrDir._get_file_mode()`` and
480
``_get_dir_mode()``, rather than from LockableFiles. The ``_set_file_mode``
481
and ``_set_dir_mode`` variables on LockableFiles which were advertised
482
as a way for plugins to control this are no longer consulted.
483
(Martin Pool)
484
485
* ``VersionedFile.join`` is deprecated. This method required local
486
instances of both versioned file objects and was thus hostile to being
487
used for streaming from a smart server. The new get_record_stream and
488
insert_record_stream are meant to efficiently replace this method.
489
(Robert Collins)
490
491
* ``WorkingTree.set_parent_(ids/trees)`` will now filter out revisions
492
which are in the ancestry of other revisions. So if you merge the same
493
tree twice, or merge an ancestor of an existing merge, it will only
494
record the newest. (If you merge a descendent, it will replace its
495
ancestor). (John Arbash Meinel, #235407)
496
497
* ``WorkingTreeFormat2.stub_initialize_remote`` is now private.

bzr 1.5 2008-05-16
502
------------------
503
504
This release of Bazaar includes several updates to the documentation, and fixes
505
to prepare for making rich root support the default format. Many bugs have been
506
squashed, including fixes to log, bzr+ssh inter-operation with older servers.
507
508
CHANGES:
509
510
* Suppress deprecation warnings when bzrlib is a 'final' release. This way
511
users of packaged software won't be bothered with DeprecationWarnings,
512
but developers and testers will still see them. (John Arbash Meinel)
513
514
DOCUMENTATION:
515
516
* Incorporate feedback from Jelmer Vernooij and Neil Martinsen-Burrell
517
on the plugin and integration chapters of the User Guide.

522
---------------------
523
524
NOTES WHEN UPGRADING:
525
526
CHANGES:
527
528
* Broader support of GNU Emacs mail clients. Set
529
``mail_client=emacsclient`` in your bazaar.conf and ``send`` will pop the
530
bundle in a mail buffer according to the value of ``mail-user-agent``
531
variable. (Xavier Maillard)
532
533
FEATURES:
534
535
IMPROVEMENTS:
536
537
* Diff now handles revision specs like "branch:" and "submit:" more
538
efficiently. (Aaron Bentley, #202928)
539
540
* More friendly error given when attempt to start the smart server
541
on an address already in use. (Andrea Corbellini, #200575)
542
543
* Pull completes much faster when there is nothing to pull.
544
(Aaron Bentley)
545
546
BUGFIXES:
547
548
* Authentication.conf can define sections without password.
549
(Vincent Ladeuil, #199440)
550
551
* Avoid muttering every time a child update does not cause a progress bar
552
update. (John Arbash Meinel, #213771)
553
554
* ``Branch.reconcile()`` is now implemented. This allows ``bzr reconcile``
555
to fix when a Branch has a non-canonical mainline history. ``bzr check``
556
also detects this condition. (John Arbash Meinel, #177855)
557
558
* ``bzr log -r ..X bzr://`` was failing, because it was getting a request
559
for ``revision_id=None`` which was not a string.
560
(John Arbash Meinel, #211661)
561
562
* ``bzr commit`` now works with Microsoft's FTP service.
563
(Andreas Deininger)
564
565
* Catch definitions outside sections in authentication.conf.
566
(Vincent Ladeuil, #217650)
567
568
* Conversion from non-rich-root to rich-root(-pack) updates inventory
569
sha1s, even when bundles are used. (Aaron Bentley, #181391)
570
571
* Conversion from non-rich-root to rich-root(-pack) works correctly even
572
though search keys are not topologically sorted. (Aaron Bentley)
573
574
* Conversion from non-rich-root to rich-root(-pack) works even when a
575
parent revision has a different root id. (Aaron Bentley, #177874)
576
577
* Disable strace testing until strace is fixed (see bug #103133) and emit a
578
warning when selftest ends to remind us of leaking tests.
579
(Vincent Ladeuil, #226769)
580
581
* Fetching all revisions from a repository does not cause pack collisions.
582
(Robert Collins, Aaron Bentley, #212908)
583
584
* Fix error about "attempt to add line-delta in non-delta knit".
585
(Andrew Bennetts, #217701)
586
587
* Pushing a branch in "dirstate" format (Branch5) over bzr+ssh would break
588
if the remote server was < version 1.2. This was due to a bug in the
589
RemoteRepository.get_parent_map() fallback code.
590
(John Arbash Meinel, #214894)
591
592
* Remove leftover code in ``bzr_branch`` that inappropriately creates
593
a ``branch-name`` file in the branch control directory.
594
(Martin Pool)
595
596
* Set SO_REUSEADDR on server sockets of ``bzr serve`` to avoid problems
597
rebinding the socket when starting the server a second time.
598
(John Arbash Meinel, Martin Pool, #164288)
599
600
* Severe performance degradation in fetching from knit repositories to
601
knits and packs due to parsing the entire revisions.kndx on every graph
602
walk iteration fixed by using the Repository.get_graph API. There was
603
another regression in knit => knit fetching which re-read the index for
604
every revision each side had in common.
605
(Robert Collins, John Arbash Meinel)
606
607
* When logging the changes to a particular file, there was a bug if there
608
were ghosts in the revision ancestry. (John Arbash Meinel, #209948)
609
610
* xs4all's ftp server returns a temporary error when trying to list an
611
empty directory, rather than returning an empty list. Adding a
612
workaround so that we don't get spurious failures.
613
(John Arbash Meinel, #215522)
614
615
DOCUMENTATION:
616
617
* Expanded the User Guide to include new chapters on popular plugins and
618
integrating Bazaar into your environment. The *Best practices* chapter
619
was renamed to *Miscellaneous topics* as suggested by community
620
feedback as well. (Ian Clatworthy)
621
622
* Document outlining strategies for TortoiseBzr. (Mark Hammond)
623
624
* Improved the documentation on hooks. (Ian Clatworthy)
625
626
* Update authentication docs regarding ssh agents.
627
(Vincent Ladeuil, #183705)
628
629
TESTING:
630
631
* Add ``thread_name_suffix`` parameter to SmartTCPServer_for_testing, to
632
make it easy to identify which test spawned a thread with an unhandled
633
exception. (Andrew Bennetts)
634
635
* New ``--debugflag``/``-E`` option to ``bzr selftest`` for setting
636
options for debugging tests, these are complementary to the the -D
637
options. The ``-Dselftest_debug`` global option has been replaced by the
638
``-E=allow_debug`` option for selftest. (Andrew Bennetts)
639
640
* Parameterised test ids are preserved correctly to aid diagnosis of test
641
failures. (Robert Collins, Andrew Bennetts)
642
643
* selftest now accepts --starting-with <id> to load only the tests whose id
644
starts with the one specified. This greatly speeds up running the test
645
suite on a limited set of tests and can be used to run the tests for a
646
single module, a single class or even a single test. (Vincent Ladeuil)
647
648
* The test suite modules have been modified to define load_tests() instead
649
of test_suite(). That speeds up selective loading (via --load-list)
650
significantly and provides many examples on how to migrate (grep for
651
load_tests). (Vincent Ladeuil)
652
653
INTERNALS:
654
655
* ``Hooks.install_hook`` is now deprecated in favour of
656
``Hooks.install_named_hook`` which adds a required ``name`` parameter, to
657
avoid having to call ``Hooks.name_hook``. (Daniel Watkins)
658
659
* Implement xml8 serializer. (Aaron Bentley)
660
661
* New form ``@deprecated_method(deprecated_in(1, 5, 0))`` for making
662
deprecation wrappers. (Martin Pool)
663
664
* ``Repository.revision_parents`` is now deprecated in favour of
665
``Repository.get_parent_map([revid])[revid]``. (Jelmer Vernooij)
666
667
* The Python ``assert`` statement is no longer used in Bazaar source, and
668
a test checks this. (Martin Pool)
669
670
API CHANGES:
671
672
* ``bzrlib.status.show_pending_merges`` requires the repository to be
673
locked by the caller. Callers should have been doing it anyway, but it
674
will now raise an exception if they do not. (John Arbash Meinel)
675
676
* Repository.get_data_stream, Repository.get_data_stream_for_search(),
677
Repository.get_deltas_for_revsions(), Repository.revision_trees(),
678
Repository.item_keys_introduced_by() no longer take read locks.
679
(Aaron Bentley)
680
681
* ``LockableFiles.get_utf8`` and ``.get`` are deprecated, as a start
682
towards removing LockableFiles and ``.control_files`` entirely.
683
(Martin Pool)
684
685
* Methods deprecated prior to 1.1 have been removed.

690
------------------
691
692
This release of Bazaar includes handy improvements to the speed of log and
693
status, new options for several commands, improved documentation, and better
694
hooks, including initial code for server-side hooks. A number of bugs have
695
been fixed, particularly in interoperability between different formats or
696
different releases of Bazaar over there network. There's been substantial
697
internal work in both the repository and network code to enable new features
698
and faster performance.
699

BUG FIXES:
701
702
* Pushing a branch in "dirstate" format (Branch5) over bzr+ssh would break

if the remote server was < version 1.2. This was due to a bug in the
704
RemoteRepository.get_parent_map() fallback code.

bzr 1.4rc2 2008-04-21
709
---------------------
710
711
BUG FIXES:
712
713
* ``bzr log -r ..X bzr://`` was failing, because it was getting a request
714
for ``revision_id=None`` which was not a string.
715
(John Arbash Meinel, #211661)
716
717
* Fixed a bug in handling ghost revisions when logging changes in a
718
particular file. (John Arbash Meinel, #209948)
719
720
* Fix error about "attempt to add line-delta in non-delta knit".
721
(Andrew Bennetts, #205156)
722
723
* Fixed performance degradation in fetching from knit repositories to
724
knits and packs due to parsing the entire revisions.kndx on every graph
725
walk iteration fixed by using the Repository.get_graph API. There was
726
another regression in knit => knit fetching which re-read the index for

bzr 1.4rc1 2008-04-11
732
---------------------
733
734
CHANGES:
735
736
* bzr main script cannot be imported (Benjamin Peterson)
737
738
* On Linux bzr additionally looks for plugins in arch-independent site
739
directory. (Toshio Kuratomi)
740
741
* The ``set_rh`` branch hook is now deprecated. Please migrate
742
any plugins using this hook to use an alternative, e.g.
743
``post_change_branch_tip``. (Ian Clatworthy)
744
745
* When a plugin cannot be loaded as the file path is not a valid
746
python module name bzr will now strip a ``bzr_`` prefix from the
747
front of the suggested name, as many plugins (e.g. bzr-svn)
748
want to be installed without this prefix. It is a common mistake
749
to have a folder named "bzr-svn" for that plugin, especially
750
as this is what bzr branch lp:bzr-svn will give you. (James Westby,
751
Andrew Cowie)
752
753
* UniqueIntegerBugTracker now appends bug-ids instead of joining
754
them to the base URL. Plugins that register bug trackers may
755
need a trailing / added to the base URL if one is not already there.
756
(James Wesby, Andrew Cowie)
757
758
FEATURES:
759
760
* Added start_commit hook for mutable trees. (Jelmer Vernooij, #186422)
761
762
* ``status`` now accepts ``--no-pending`` to show the status without
763
listing pending merges, which speeds up the command a lot on large
764
histories. (James Westby, #202830)
765
766
* New ``post_change_branch_tip`` hook that is called after the
767
branch tip is moved but while the branch is still write-locked.
768
See the User Reference for signature details.
769
(Ian Clatworthy, James Henstridge)
770
771
* Reconfigure can convert a branch to be standalone or to use a shared
772
repository. (Aaron Bentley)
773
774
IMPROVEMENTS:
775
776
* The smart protocol now has support for setting branches' revision info
777
directly. This should make operations like push slightly faster, and is a
778
step towards server-side hooks. The new request method name is
779
``Branch.set_last_revision_info``. (Andrew Bennetts)
780
781
* ``bzr commit --fixes`` now recognises "gnome" as a tag by default.
782
(James Westby, Andrew Cowie)
783
784
* ``bzr switch`` will attempt to find branches to switch to relative to the
785
current branch. E.g. ``bzr switch branchname`` will look for
786
``current_branch/../branchname``. (Robert Collins, Jelmer Vernooij,
787
Wouter van Heyst)
788
789
* Diff is now more specific about execute-bit changes it describes
790
(Chad Miller)
791
792
* Fetching data over HTTP is a bit faster when urllib is used. This is done
793
by forcing it to recv 64k at a time when reading lines in HTTP headers,
794
rather than just 1 byte at a time. (Andrew Bennetts)
795
796
* Log --short and --line are much faster when -r is not specified.
797
(Aaron Bentley)
798
799
* Merge is faster. We no longer check a file's existence unnecessarily
800
when merging the execute bit. (Aaron Bentley)
801
802
* ``bzr status`` on an explicit list of files no longer shows pending
803
merges, making it much faster on large trees. (John Arbash Meinel)
804
805
* The launchpad directory service now warns the user if they have not set
806
their launchpad login and are trying to resolve a URL using it, just
807
in case they want to do a write operation with it. (James Westby)
808
809
* The smart protocol client is slightly faster, because it now only queries
810
the server for the protocol version once per connection. Also, the HTTP
811
transport will now automatically probe for and use a smart server if
812
one is present. You can use the new ``nosmart+`` transport decorator
813
to get the old behaviour. (Andrew Bennetts)
814
815
* The ``version`` command takes a ``--short`` option to print just the
816
version number, for easier use in scripts. (Martin Pool)
817
818
* Various operations with revision specs and commands that calculate
819
revnos and revision ids are faster. (John A. Meinel, Aaron Bentley)
820
821
BUGFIXES:
822
823
* Add ``root_client_path`` parameter to SmartWSGIApp and
824
SmartServerRequest. This makes it possible to publish filesystem
825
locations that don't exactly match URL paths. SmartServerRequest
826
subclasses should use the new ``translate_client_path`` and
827
``transport_from_client_path`` methods when dealing with paths received
828
from a client to take this into account. (Andrew Bennetts, #124089)
829
830
* ``bzr mv a b`` can be now used also to rename previously renamed
831
directories, not only files. (Lukáš Lalinský, #107967)
832
833
* ``bzr uncommit --local`` can now remove revisions from the local
834
branch to be symmetric with ``bzr commit --local``.
835
(John Arbash Meinel, #93412)
836
837
* Don't ask for a password if there is no real terminal.
838
(Alexander Belchenko, #69851)
839
840
* Fix a bug causing a ValueError crash in ``parse_line_delta_iter`` when
841
fetching revisions from a knit to pack repository or vice versa using
842
bzr:// (including over http or ssh).
843
(#208418, Andrew Bennetts, Martin Pool, Robert Collins)
844
845
* Fixed ``_get_line`` in ``bzrlib.smart.medium``, which was buggy. Also
846
fixed ``_get_bytes`` in the same module to use the push back buffer.
847
These bugs had no known impact in normal use, but were problematic for
848
developers working on the code, and were likely to cause real bugs sooner
849
or later. (Andrew Bennetts)
850
851
* Implement handling of basename parameter for DefaultMail. (James Westby)
852
853
* Incompatibility with Paramiko versions newer than 1.7.2 was fixed.
854
(Andrew Bennetts, #213425)
855
856
* Launchpad locations (lp: URLs) can be pulled. (Aaron Bentley, #181945)
857
858
* Merges that add files to deleted root directories complete. They
859
do create conflicts. (Aaron Bentley, #210092)
860
861
* vsftp's return ``550 RNFR command failed.`` supported.
862
(Marcus Trautwig, #129786)
863
864
DOCUMENTATION:
865
866
* Improved documentation on send/merge relationship. (Peter Schuller)
867
868
* Minor fixes to the User Guide. (Matthew Fuller)
869
870
* Reduced the evangelism in the User Guide. (Ian Clatworthy)
871
872
* Added Integrating with Bazaar document for developers (Martin Albisetti)
873
874
API BREAKS:
875
876
* Attempting to pull data from a ghost aware repository (e.g. knits) into a
877
non-ghost aware repository such as weaves will now fail if there are
878
ghosts. (Robert Collins)
879
880
* ``KnitVersionedFile`` no longer accepts an ``access_mode`` parameter, and
881
now requires the ``index`` and ``access_method`` parameters to be
882
supplied. A compatible shim has been kept in the new function
883
``knit.make_file_knit``. (Robert Collins)
884
885
* Log formatters must now provide log_revision instead of show and
886
show_merge_revno methods. The latter had been deprecated since the 0.17
887
release. (James Westby)
888
889
* ``LoopbackSFTP`` is now called ``SocketAsChannelAdapter``.
890
(Andrew Bennetts)
891
892
* ``osutils.backup_file`` is removed. (Alexander Belchenko)
893
894
* ``Repository.get_revision_graph`` is deprecated, with no replacement
895
method. The method was size(history) and not desirable. (Robert Collins)
896
897
* ``revision.revision_graph`` is deprecated, with no replacement function.
898
The function was size(history) and not desirable. (Robert Collins)
899
900
* ``Transport.get_shared_medium`` is deprecated. Use
901
``Transport.get_smart_medium`` instead. (Andrew Bennetts)
902
903
* ``VersionedFile`` factories now accept a get_scope parameter rather
904
than using a call to ``transaction_finished``, allowing the removal of
905
the fixed list of versioned files per repository. (Robert Collins)
906
907
* ``VersionedFile.annotate_iter`` is deprecated. While in principle this
908
allowed lower memory use, all users of annotations wanted full file
909
annotations, and there is no storage format suitable for incremental
910
line-by-line annotation. (Robert Collins)
911
912
* ``VersionedFile.clone_text`` is deprecated. This performance optimisation
913
is no longer used - reading the content of a file that is undergoing a
914
file level merge to identical state on two branches is rare enough, and
915
not expensive enough to special case. (Robert Collins)
916
917
* ``VersionedFile.clear_cache`` and ``enable_cache`` are deprecated.
918
These methods added significant complexity to the ``VersionedFile``
919
implementation, but were only used for optimising fetches from knits -
920
which can be done from outside the knit layer, or via a caching
921
decorator. As knits are not the default format, the complexity is no
922
longer worth paying. (Robert Collins)
923
924
* ``VersionedFile.create_empty`` is removed. This method presupposed a
925
sensible mapping to a transport for individual files, but pack backed
926
versioned files have no such mapping. (Robert Collins)
927
928
* ``VersionedFile.get_graph`` is deprecated, with no replacement method.
929
The method was size(history) and not desirable. (Robert Collins)
930
931
* ``VersionedFile.get_graph_with_ghosts`` is deprecated, with no
932
replacement method. The method was size(history) and not desirable.
933
(Robert Collins)
934
935
* ``VersionedFile.get_parents`` is deprecated, please use
936
``VersionedFile.get_parent_map``. (Robert Collins)
937
938
* ``VersionedFile.get_sha1`` is deprecated, please use
939
``VersionedFile.get_sha1s``. (Robert Collins)
940
941
* ``VersionedFile.has_ghost`` is now deprecated, as it is both expensive
942
and unused outside of a single test. (Robert Collins)
943
944
* ``VersionedFile.iter_parents`` is now deprecated in favour of
945
``get_parent_map`` which can be used to instantiate a Graph on a
946
VersionedFile. (Robert Collins)
947
948
* ``VersionedFileStore`` no longer uses the transaction parameter given
949
to most methods; amongst other things this means that the
950
get_weave_or_empty method no longer guarantees errors on a missing weave
951
in a readonly transaction, and no longer caches versioned file instances
952
which reduces memory pressure (but requires more careful management by
953
callers to preserve performance). (Robert Collins)
954
955
TESTING:
956
957
* New -Dselftest_debug flag disables clearing of the debug flags during
958
tests. This is useful if you want to use e.g. -Dhpss to help debug a
959
failing test. Be aware that using this feature is likely to cause
960
spurious test failures if used with the full suite. (Andrew Bennetts)
961
962
* selftest --load-list now uses a new more agressive test loader that will
963
avoid loading unneeded modules and building their tests. Plugins can use
964
this new loader by defining a load_tests function instead of a test_suite
965
function. (a forthcoming patch will provide many examples on how to
966
implement this).
967
(Vincent Ladeuil)
968
969
* selftest --load-list now does some sanity checks regarding duplicate test
970
IDs and tests present in the list but not found in the actual test suite.
971
(Vincent Ladeuil)
972
973
* Slightly more concise format for the selftest progress bar, so there's
974
more space to show the test name. (Martin Pool) ::
975
976
[2500/10884, 1fail, 3miss in 1m29s] test_revisionnamespaces.TestRev
977
978
* The test suite takes much less memory to run, and is a bit faster. This
979
is done by clearing most attributes of TestCases after running them, if
980
they succeeded. (Andrew Bennetts)
981
982
INTERNALS:
983
984
* Added ``_build_client_protocol`` to ``_SmartClient``. (Andrew Bennetts)
985
986
* Added basic infrastructure for automatic plugin suggestion.
987
(Martin Albisetti)
988
989
* If a ``LockableFiles`` object is not explicitly unlocked (for example
990
because of a missing ``try/finally`` block, it will give a warning but
991
not automatically unlock itself. (Previously they did.) This
992
sometimes caused knock-on errors if for example the network connection
993
had already failed, and should not be relied upon by code.
994
(Martin Pool, #109520)
995
996
* ``make dist`` target to build a release tarball, and also
997
``check-dist-tarball`` and ``dist-upload-escudero``. (Martin Pool)
998
999
* The ``read_response_tuple`` method of ``SmartClientRequestProtocol*``
1000
classes will now raise ``UnknownSmartMethod`` when appropriate, so that
1001
callers don't need to try distinguish unknown request errors from other
1002
errors. (Andrew Bennetts)
1003
1004
* ``set_make_working_trees`` is now implemented provided on all repository
1005
implementations (Aaron Bentley)
1006
1007
* ``VersionedFile`` now has a new method ``get_parent_map`` which, like
1008
``Graph.get_parent_map`` returns a dict of key:parents. (Robert Collins)

1022
* Fix a bug causing a ValueError crash in ``parse_line_delta_iter`` when

1029
------------------
1030
1031
Bazaar has become part of the GNU project <http://www.gnu.org>
1032
1033
Many operations that act on history, including ``log`` and ``annotate`` are now
1034
substantially faster. Several bugs have been fixed and several new options and
1035
features have been added.
1036
1037
TESTING:
1038
1039
* Avoid spurious failure of ``TestVersion.test_version`` matching

NOTES WHEN UPGRADING:
1048
1049
* The backup directory created by ``upgrade`` is now called
1050
``backup.bzr``, not ``.bzr.backup``. (Martin Albisetti)
1051
1052
CHANGES:
1053
1054
* A new repository format 'development' has been added. This format will
1055
represent the latest 'in-progress' format that the bzr developers are
1056
interested in getting early-adopter testing and feedback on.
1057
``doc/developers/development-repo.txt`` has detailed information.
1058
(Robert Collins)
1059
1060
* BZR_LOG environment variable controls location of .bzr.log trace file.
1061
User can suppress writing messages to .bzr.log by using '/dev/null'
1062
filename (on Linux) or 'NUL' (on Windows). If BZR_LOG variable
1063
is not defined but BZR_HOME is defined then default location
1064
for .bzr.log trace file is ``$BZR_HOME/.bzr.log``.
1065
(Alexander Belchenko)
1066
1067
* ``launchpad`` builtin plugin now shipped as separate part in standalone
1068
bzr.exe, installed to ``C:\Program Files\Bazaar\plugins`` directory,
1069
and standalone installer allows user to skip installation of this plugin.
1070
(Alexander Belchenko)
1071
1072
* Restore auto-detection of plink.exe on Windows. (Dmitry Vasiliev)
1073
1074
* Version number is now shown as "1.2" or "1.2pr2", without zeroed or
1075
missing final fields. (Martin Pool)
1076
1077
FEATURES:
1078
1079
* ``branch`` and ``checkout`` can hard-link working tree files, which is
1080
faster and saves space. (Aaron Bentley)
1081
1082
* ``bzr send`` will now also look at the ``child_submit_to`` setting in
1083
the submit branch to determine the email address to send to.
1084
(Jelmer Vernooij)
1085
1086
IMPROVEMENTS:
1087
1088
* BzrBranch._lefthand_history is faster on pack repos. (Aaron Bentley)
1089
1090
* Branch6.generate_revision_history is faster. (Aaron Bentley)
1091
1092
* Directory services can now be registered, allowing special URLs to be
1093
dereferenced into real URLs. This is a generalization and cleanup of
1094
the lp: transport lookup. (Aaron Bentley)
1095
1096
* Merge directives that are automatically attached to emails have nicer
1097
filenames, based on branch-nick + revno. (Aaron Bentley)
1098
1099
* ``push`` has a ``--revision`` option, to specify what revision to push up
1100
to. (Daniel Watkins)
1101
1102
* Significantly reducing execution time and network traffic for trivial
1103
case of running ``bzr missing`` command for two identical branches.
1104
(Alexander Belchenko)
1105
1106
* Speed up operations that look at the revision graph (such as 'bzr log').
1107
``KnitPackRepositor.get_revision_graph`` uses ``Graph.iter_ancestry`` to
1108
extract the revision history. This allows filtering ghosts while
1109
stepping instead of needing to peek ahead. (John Arbash Meinel)
1110
1111
* The ``hooks`` command lists installed hooks, to assist in debugging.
1112
(Daniel Watkins)
1113
1114
* Updates to how ``annotate`` work. Should see a measurable improvement in
1115
performance and memory consumption for file with a lot of merges.
1116
Also, correctly handle when a line is introduced by both parents (it
1117
should be attributed to the first merge which notices this, and not
1118
to all subsequent merges.) (John Arbash Meinel)
1119
1120
BUGFIXES:
1121
1122
* Autopacking no longer holds the full set of inventory lines in
1123
memory while copying. For large repositories, this can amount to
1124
hundreds of MB of ram consumption.
1125
(Ian Clatworthy, John Arbash Meinel)
1126
1127
* Cherrypicking when using ``--format=merge3`` now explictly excludes
1128
BASE lines. (John Arbash Meinel, #151731)
1129
1130
* Disable plink's interactive prompt for password.
1131
(#107593, Dmitry Vasiliev)
1132
1133
* Encode command line arguments from unicode to user_encoding before
1134
invoking external mail client in `bzr send` command.
1135
(#139318, Alexander Belchenko)
1136
1137
* Fixed problem connecting to ``bzr+https://`` servers.
1138
(#198793, John Ferlito)
1139
1140
* Improved error reporting in the Launchpad plugin. (Daniel Watkins,
1141
#196618)
1142
1143
* Include quick-start-summary.svg file to python-based installer(s)
1144
for Windows. (#192924, Alexander Belchenko)
1145
1146
* lca merge now respects specified files. (Aaron Bentley)
1147
1148
* Make version-info --custom imply --all. (#195560, James Westby)
1149
1150
* ``merge --preview`` now works for merges that add or modify
1151
symlinks (James Henstridge)
1152
1153
* Redirecting the output from ``bzr merge`` (when the remembered
1154
location is used) now works. (John Arbash Meinel)
1155
1156
* setup.py script explicitly checks for Python version.
1157
(Jari Aalto, Alexander Belchenko, #200569)
1158
1159
* UnknownFormatErrors no longer refer to branches regardless of kind of
1160
unknown format. (Daniel Watkins, #173980)
1161
1162
* Upgrade bundled ConfigObj to version 4.5.2, which properly quotes #
1163
signs, among other small improvements. (Matt Nordhoff, #86838)
1164
1165
* Use correct indices when emitting LCA conflicts. This fixes IndexError
1166
errors. (Aaron Bentley, #196780)
1167
1168
DOCUMENTATION:
1169
1170
* Explained how to use ``version-info --custom`` in the User Guide.
1171
(Neil Martinsen-Burrell)
1172
1173
API BREAKS:
1174
1175
* Support for loading plugins from zip files and
1176
``bzrlib.plugin.load_from_zip()`` function are deprecated.
1177
(Alexander Belchenko)
1178
1179
TESTING:
1180
1181
* Added missing blackbox tests for ``modified`` (Adrian Wilkins)
1182
1183
* The branch interface tests were invalid for branches using rich-root
1184
repositories because the empty string is not a valid file-id.
1185
(Robert Collins)
1186
1187
INTERNALS:
1188
1189
* ``Graph.iter_ancestry`` returns the ancestry of revision ids. Similar to
1190
``Repository.get_revision_graph()`` except it includes ghosts and you can
1191
stop part-way through. (John Arbash Meinel)
1192
1193
* New module ``tools/package_mf.py`` provide custom module finder for
1194
python packages (improves standard python library's modulefinder.py)
1195
used by ``setup.py`` script while building standalone bzr.exe.
1196
(Alexander Belchenko)
1197
1198
* New remote method ``RemoteBzrDir.find_repositoryV2`` adding support for
1199
detecting external lookup support on remote repositories. This method is
1200
now attempted first when lookup up repositories, leading to an extra
1201
round trip on older bzr smart servers. (Robert Collins)
1202
1203
* Repository formats have a new supported-feature attribute
1204
``supports_external_lookups`` used to indicate repositories which support
1205
falling back to other repositories when they have partial data.
1206
(Robert Collins)
1207
1208
* ``Repository.get_revision_graph_with_ghosts`` and
1209
``bzrlib.revision.(common_ancestor,MultipleRevisionSources,common_graph)``
1210
have been deprecated. (John Arbash Meinel)
1211
1212
* ``Tree.iter_changes`` is now a public API, replacing the work-in-progress
1213
``Tree._iter_changes``. The api is now considered stable and ready for
1214
external users. (Aaron Bentley)
1215
1216
* The bzrdir format registry now accepts an ``alias`` keyword to
1217
register_metadir, used to indicate that a format name is an alias for
1218
some other format and thus should not be reported when describing the
1219
format. (Robert Collins)

1231
---------------------
1232
1233
NOTES WHEN UPGRADING:
1234
1235
* Fetching via the smart protocol may need to reconnect once during a fetch
1236
if the remote server is running Bazaar 1.1 or earlier, because the client
1237
attempts to use more efficient requests that confuse older servers. You
1238
may be required to re-enter a password or passphrase when this happens.
1239
This won't happen if the server is upgraded to Bazaar 1.2.
1240
(Andrew Bennetts)
1241
1242
CHANGES:
1243
1244
* Fetching via bzr+ssh will no longer fill ghosts by default (this is
1245
consistent with pack-0.92 fetching over SFTP). (Robert Collins)
1246
1247
* Formatting of ``bzr plugins`` output is changed to be more human-
1248
friendly. Full path of plugins locations will be shown only with
1249
``--verbose`` command-line option. (Alexander Belchenko)
1250
1251
* ``merge`` now prefers to use the submit branch, but will fall back to
1252
parent branch. For many users, this has no effect. But some users who
1253
pull and merge on the same branch will notice a change. This change
1254
makes it easier to work on a branch on two different machines, pulling
1255
between the machines, while merging from the upstream.
1256
``merge --remember`` can now be used to set the submit_branch.
1257
(Aaron Bentley)
1258
1259
FEATURES:
1260
1261
* ``merge --preview`` produces a diff of the changes merge would make,
1262
but does not actually perform the merge. (Aaron Bentley)
1263
1264
* New smart method ``Repository.get_parent_map`` for getting revision
1265
parent data. This returns additional parent information topologically
1266
adjacent to the requested data to reduce round trip latency impacts.
1267
(Robert Collins)
1268
1269
* New smart method, ``Repository.stream_revisions_chunked``, for fetching
1270
revision data that streams revision data via a chunked encoding. This
1271
avoids buffering large amounts of revision data on the server and on the
1272
client, and sends less data to the server to request the revisions.
1273
(Andrew Bennetts, Robert Collins, #178353)
1274
1275
* The launchpad plugin now handles lp urls of the form
1276
``lp://staging/``, ``lp://demo/``, ``lp://dev/`` to use the appropriate
1277
launchpad instance to do the resolution of the branch identities.
1278
This is primarily of use to Launchpad developers, but can also
1279
be used by other users who want to try out Launchpad as
1280
a branch location without messing up their public Launchpad
1281
account. Branches that are pushed to the staging environment
1282
have an expected lifetime of one day. (Tim Penhey)
1283
1284
IMPROVEMENTS:
1285
1286
* Creating a new branch no longer tries to read the entire revision-history
1287
unnecessarily over smart server operations. (Robert Collins)
1288
1289
* Fetching between different repository formats with compatible models now
1290
takes advantage of the smart method to stream revisions. (Andrew Bennetts)
1291
1292
* The ``--coverage`` option is now global, rather specific to ``bzr
1293
selftest``. (Andrew Bennetts)
1294
1295
* The ``register-branch`` command will now use the public url of the branch
1296
containing the current directory, if one has been set and no explicit
1297
branch is provided. (Robert Collins)
1298
1299
* Tweak the ``reannotate`` code path to optimize the 2-parent case.
1300
Speeds up ``bzr annotate`` with a pack repository by approx 3:2.
1301
(John Arbash Meinel)
1302
1303
BUGFIXES:
1304
1305
* Calculate remote path relative to the shared medium in _SmartClient. This
1306
is related to the problem in bug #124089. (Andrew Bennetts)
1307
1308
* Cleanly handle connection errors in smart protocol version two, the same
1309
way as they are handled by version one. (Andrew Bennetts)
1310
1311
* Clearer error when ``version-info --custom`` is used without
1312
``--template`` (Lukáš Lalinský)
1313
1314
* Don't raise UnavailableFeature during test setup when medusa is not
1315
available or tearDown is never called leading to nasty side effects.
1316
(#137823, Vincent Ladeuil)
1317
1318
* If a plugin's test suite cannot be loaded, for example because of a syntax
1319
error in the tests, then ``selftest`` fails, rather than just printing
1320
a warning. (Martin Pool, #189771)
1321
1322
* List possible values for BZR_SSH environment variable in env-variables
1323
help topic. (Alexander Belchenko, #181842)
1324
1325
* New methods ``push_log_file`` and ``pop_log_file`` to intercept messages:
1326
popping the log redirection now precisely restores the previous state,
1327
which makes it easier to use bzr log output from other programs.
1328
TestCaseInTempDir no longer depends on a log redirection being established
1329
by the test framework, which lets bzr tests cleanly run from a normal
1330
unittest runner.
1331
(#124153, #124849, Martin Pool, Jonathan Lange)
1332
1333
* ``pull --quiet`` is now more quiet, in particular a message is no longer
1334
printed when the remembered pull location is used. (James Westby,
1335
#185907)
1336
1337
* ``reconfigure`` can safely be interrupted while fetching.
1338
(Aaron Bentley, #179316)
1339
1340
* ``reconfigure`` preserves tags when converting to and from lightweight
1341
checkouts. (Aaron Bentley, #182040)
1342
1343
* Stop polluting /tmp when running selftest.
1344
(Vincent Ladeuil, #123623)
1345
1346
* Switch from NFKC => NFC for normalization checks. NFC allows a few
1347
more characters which should be considered valid.
1348
(John Arbash Meinel, #185458)
1349
1350
* The launchpad plugin now uses the ``edge`` xmlrpc server to avoid
1351
interacting badly with a bug on the launchpad side. (Robert Collins)
1352
1353
* Unknown hostnames when connecting to a ``bzr://`` URL no longer cause
1354
tracebacks. (Andrew Bennetts, #182849)
1355
1356
API BREAKS:
1357
1358
* Classes implementing Merge types like Merge3Merger must now accept (and
1359
honour) a do_merge flag in their constructor. (Aaron Bentley)
1360
1361
* ``Repository.add_inventory`` and ``add_revision`` now require the caller
1362
to previously take a write lock (and start a write group.)
1363
(Martin Pool)
1364
1365
TESTING:
1366
1367
* selftest now accepts --load-list <file> to load a test id list. This
1368
speeds up running the test suite on a limited set of tests.
1369
(Vincent Ladeuil)
1370
1371
INTERNALS:
1372
1373
* Add a new method ``get_result`` to graph search objects. The resulting
1374
``SearchResult`` can be used to recreate the search later, which will
1375
be useful in reducing network traffic. (Robert Collins)
1376
1377
* Use convenience function to check whether two repository handles
1378
are referring to the same repository in ``Repository.get_graph``.
1379
(Jelmer Vernooij, #187162)
1380
1381
* Fetching now passes the find_ghosts flag through to the
1382
``InterRepository.missing_revision_ids`` call consistently for all
1383
repository types. This will enable faster missing revision discovery with
1384
bzr+ssh. (Robert Collins)
1385
1386
* Fix error handling in Repository.insert_data_stream. (Lukas Lalinsky)
1387
1388
* ``InterRepository.missing_revision_ids`` is now deprecated in favour of
1389
``InterRepository.search_missing_revision_ids`` which returns a
1390
``bzrlib.graph.SearchResult`` suitable for making requests from the smart
1391
server. (Robert Collins)
1392
1393
* New error ``NoPublicBranch`` for commands that need a public branch to
1394
operate. (Robert Collins)
1395
1396
* New method ``iter_inventories`` on Repository for access to many
1397
inventories. This is primarily used by the ``revision_trees`` method, as
1398
direct access to inventories is discouraged. (Robert Collins)
1399
1400
* New method ``next_with_ghosts`` on the Graph breadth-first-search objects
1401
which will split out ghosts and present parents into two separate sets,
1402
useful for code which needs to be aware of ghosts (e.g. fetching data
1403
cares about ghosts during revision selection). (Robert Collins)
1404
1405
* Record a timestamp against each mutter to the trace file, relative to the
1406
first import of bzrlib. (Andrew Bennetts)
1407
1408
* ``Repository.get_data_stream`` is now deprecated in favour of
1409
``Repository.get_data_stream_for_search`` which allows less network
1410
traffic when requesting data streams over a smart server. (Robert Collins)
1411
1412
* ``RemoteBzrDir._get_tree_branch`` no longer triggers ``_ensure_real``,
1413
removing one round trip on many network operations. (Robert Collins)
1414
1415
* RemoteTransport's ``recommended_page_size`` method now returns 64k, like
1416
SFTPTransport and HttpTransportBase. (Andrew Bennetts)
1417
1418
* Repository has a new method ``has_revisions`` which signals the presence
1419
of many revisions by returning a set of the revisions listed which are
1420
present. This can be done by index queries without reading data for parent
1421
revision names etc. (Robert Collins)

1428
1429
bzr 1.1rc1 2008-01-05
1430
---------------------
1431
1432
CHANGES:
1433
1434
* Dotted revision numbers have been revised. Instead of growing longer with
1435
nested branches the branch number just increases. (eg instead of 1.1.1.1.1
1436
we now report 1.2.1.) This helps scale long lived branches which have many
1437
feature branches merged between them. (John Arbash Meinel)
1438
1439
* The syntax ``bzr diff branch1 branch2`` is no longer supported.
1440
Use ``bzr diff branch1 --new branch2`` instead. This change has
1441
been made to remove the ambiguity where ``branch2`` is in fact a
1442
specific file to diff within ``branch1``.
1443
1444
FEATURES:
1445
1446
* New option to use custom template-based formats in ``bzr version-info``.
1447
(Lukáš Lalinský)
1448
1449
* diff '--using' allows an external diff tool to be used for files.
1450
(Aaron Bentley)
1451
1452
* New "lca" merge-type for fast everyday merging that also supports
1453
criss-cross merges. (Aaron Bentley)
1454
1455
IMPROVEMENTS:
1456
1457
* ``annotate`` now doesn't require a working tree. (Lukáš Lalinský,
1458
#90049)
1459
1460
* ``branch`` and ``checkout`` can now use files from a working tree to
1461
to speed up the process. For checkout, this requires the new
1462
--files-from flag. (Aaron Bentley)
1463
1464
* ``bzr diff`` now sorts files in alphabetical order. (Aaron Bentley)
1465
1466
* ``bzr diff`` now works on branches without working trees. Tree-less
1467
branches can also be compared to each other and to working trees using
1468
the new diff options ``--old`` and ``--new``. Diffing between branches,
1469
with or without trees, now supports specific file filtering as well.
1470
(Ian Clatworthy, #6700)
1471
1472
* ``bzr pack`` now orders revision texts in topological order, with newest
1473
at the start of the file, promoting linear reads for ``bzr log`` and the
1474
like. This partially fixes #154129. (Robert Collins)
1475
1476
* Merge directives now fetch prerequisites from the target branch if
1477
needed. (Aaron Bentley)
1478
1479
* pycurl now handles digest authentication.
1480
(Vincent Ladeuil)
1481
1482
* ``reconfigure`` can now convert from repositories. (Aaron Bentley)
1483
1484
* ``-l`` is now a short form for ``--limit`` in ``log``. (Matt Nordhoff)
1485
1486
* ``merge`` now warns when merge directives cause cherrypicks.
1487
(Aaron Bentley)
1488
1489
* ``split`` now supported, to enable splitting large trees into smaller
1490
pieces. (Aaron Bentley)
1491
1492
BUGFIXES:
1493
1494
* Avoid AttributeError when unlocking a pack repository when an error occurs.
1495
(Martin Pool, #180208)
1496
1497
* Better handle short reads when processing multiple range requests.
1498
(Vincent Ladeuil, #179368)
1499
1500
* build_tree acceleration uses the correct path when a file has been moved.
1501
(Aaron Bentley)
1502
1503
* ``commit`` now succeeds when a checkout and its master branch share a
1504
repository. (Aaron Bentley, #177592)
1505
1506
* Fixed error reporting of unsupported timezone format in
1507
``log --timezone``. (Lukáš Lalinský, #178722)
1508
1509
* Fixed Unicode encoding error in ``ignored`` when the output is
1510
redirected to a pipe. (Lukáš Lalinský)
1511
1512
* Fix traceback when sending large response bodies over the smart protocol
1513
on Windows. (Andrew Bennetts, #115781)
1514
1515
* Fix ``urlutils.relative_url`` for the case of two ``file:///`` URLs
1516
pointed to different logical drives on Windows.
1517
(Alexander Belchenko, #90847)
1518
1519
* HTTP test servers are now compatible with the http protocol version 1.1.
1520
(Vincent Ladeuil, #175524)
1521
1522
* _KnitParentsProvider.get_parent_map now handles requests for ghosts
1523
correctly, instead of erroring or attributing incorrect parents to ghosts.
1524
(Aaron Bentley)
1525
1526
* ``merge --weave --uncommitted`` now works. (Aaron Bentley)
1527
1528
* pycurl authentication handling was broken and incomplete. Fix handling of
1529
user:pass embedded in the urls.
1530
(Vincent Ladeuil, #177643)
1531
1532
* Files inside non-directories are now handled like other conflict types.
1533
(Aaron Bentley, #177390)
1534
1535
* ``reconfigure`` is able to convert trees into lightweight checkouts.
1536
(Aaron Bentley)
1537
1538
* Reduce lockdir timeout to 0 when running ``bzr serve``. (Andrew Bennetts,
1539
#148087)
1540
1541
* Test that the old ``version_info_format`` functions still work, even
1542
though they are deprecated. (John Arbash Meinel, ShenMaq, #177872)
1543
1544
* Transform failures no longer cause ImmortalLimbo errors (Aaron Bentley,
1545
#137681)
1546
1547
* ``uncommit`` works even when the commit messages of revisions to be
1548
removed use characters not supported in the terminal encoding.
1549
(Aaron Bentley)
1550
1551
* When dumb http servers return whole files instead of the requested ranges,
1552
read the remaining bytes by chunks to avoid overflowing network buffers.
1553
(Vincent Ladeuil, #175886)
1554
1555
DOCUMENTATION:
1556
1557
* Minor tweaks made to the bug tracker integration documentation.
1558
(Ian Clatworthy)
1559
1560
* Reference material has now be moved out of the User Guide and added
1561
to the User Reference. The User Reference has gained 4 sections as
1562
a result: Authenication Settings, Configuration Settings, Conflicts
1563
and Hooks. All help topics are now dumped into text format in the
1564
doc/en/user-reference directory for those who like browsing that
1565
information in their editor. (Ian Clatworthy)
1566
1567
* *Using Bazaar with Launchpad* tutorial added. (Ian Clatworthy)
1568
1569
INTERNALS:
1570
1571
* find_* methods available for BzrDirs, Branches and WorkingTrees.
1572
(Aaron Bentley)
1573
1574
* Help topics can now be loaded from files.
1575
(Ian Clatworthy, Alexander Belchenko)
1576
1577
* get_parent_map now always provides tuples as its output. (Aaron Bentley)
1578
1579
* Parent Providers should now implement ``get_parent_map`` returning a
1580
dictionary instead of ``get_parents`` returning a list.
1581
``Graph.get_parents`` is now deprecated. (John Arbash Meinel,
1582
Robert Collins)
1583
1584
* Patience Diff now supports arbitrary python objects, as long as they
1585
support ``hash()``. (John Arbash Meinel)
1586
1587
* Reduce selftest overhead to establish test names by memoization.
1588
(Vincent Ladeuil)
1589
1590
API BREAKS:
1591
1592
TESTING:
1593
1594
* Modules can now customise their tests by defining a ``load_tests``
1595
attribute. ``pydoc bzrlib.tests.TestUtil.TestLoader.loadTestsFromModule``
1596
for the documentation on this attribute. (Robert Collins)
1597
1598
* New helper function ``bzrlib.tests.condition_id_re`` which helps
1599
filter tests based on a regular expression search on the tests id.
1600
(Robert Collins)
1601
1602
* New helper function ``bzrlib.tests.condition_isinstance`` which helps
1603
filter tests based on class. (Robert Collins)
1604
1605
* New helper function ``bzrlib.tests.exclude_suite_by_condition`` which
1606
generalises the ``exclude_suite_by_re`` function. (Robert Collins)
1607
1608
* New helper function ``bzrlib.tests.filter_suite_by_condition`` which
1609
generalises the ``filter_suite_by_re`` function. (Robert Collins)
1610
1611
* New helper method ``bzrlib.tests.exclude_tests_by_re`` which gives a new
1612
TestSuite that does not contain tests from the input that matched a
1613
regular expression. (Robert Collins)
1614
1615
* New helper method ``bzrlib.tests.randomize_suite`` which returns a
1616
randomized copy of the input suite. (Robert Collins)
1617
1618
* New helper method ``bzrlib.tests.split_suite_by_re`` which splits a test
1619
suite into two according to a regular expression. (Robert Collins)
1620
1621
* Parametrize all http tests for the transport implementations, the http
1622
protocol versions (1.0 and 1.1) and the authentication schemes.
1623
(Vincent Ladeuil)
1624
1625
* The ``exclude_pattern`` and ``random_order`` parameters to the function
1626
``bzrlib.tests.filter_suite_by_re`` have been deprecated. (Robert Collins)
1627
1628
* The method ``bzrlib.tests.sort_suite_by_re`` has been deprecated. It is
1629
replaced by the new helper methods added in this release. (Robert Collins)

CHANGES:
1653
1654
* If a traceback occurs, users are now asked to report the bug
1655
through Launchpad (https://bugs.launchpad.net/bzr/), rather than
1656
by mail to the mailing list.
1657
(Martin Pool)
1658
1659
BUGFIXES:
1660
1661
* Fix Makefile rules for doc generation. (Ian Clatworthy, #175207)
1662
1663
* Give more feedback during long http downloads by making readv deliver data
1664
as it arrives for urllib, and issue more requests for pycurl. High latency
1665
networks are better handled by urllib, the pycurl implementation give more
1666
feedback but also incur more latency.
1667
(Vincent Ladeuil, #173010)
1668
1669
* Implement _make_parents_provider on RemoteRepository, allowing generating
1670
bundles against branches on a smart server. (Andrew Bennetts, #147836)
1671
1672
DOCUMENTATION:
1673

(Ian Clatworthy)
1678
1679
INTERNALS:
1680
1681
* readv urllib http implementation is now a real iterator above the

IMPROVEMENTS:
1691
1692
* Added a --coverage option to selftest. (Andrew Bennetts)
1693
1694
* Annotate merge (merge-type=weave) now supports cherrypicking.
1695
(Aaron Bentley)
1696
1697
* ``bzr commit`` now doesn't print the revision number twice. (Matt
1698
Nordhoff, #172612)
1699
1700
* New configuration option ``bugtracker_<tracker_abbrevation>_url`` to
1701
define locations of bug trackers that are not directly supported by
1702
bzr or a plugin. The URL will be treated as a template and ``{id}``
1703
placeholders will be replaced by specific bug IDs. (Lukáš Lalinský)
1704
1705
* Support logging single merge revisions with short and line log formatters.
1706
(Kent Gibson)
1707
1708
* User Guide enhanced with suggested readability improvements from
1709
Matt Revell and corrections from John Arbash Meinel. (Ian Clatworthy)
1710
1711
* Quick Start Guide renamed to Quick Start Card, moved down in
1712
the catalog, provided in pdf and png format and updated to refer
1713
to ``send`` instead of ``bundle``. (Ian Clatworthy, #165080)
1714
1715
* ``switch`` can now be used on heavyweight checkouts as well as
1716
lightweight ones. After switching a heavyweight checkout, the
1717
local branch is a mirror/cache of the new bound branch and
1718
uncommitted changes in the working tree are merged. As a safety
1719
check, if there are local commits in a checkout which have not
1720
been committed to the previously bound branch, then ``switch``
1721
fails unless the ``--force`` option is given. This option is
1722
now also required if the branch a lightweight checkout is pointing
1723
to has been moved. (Ian Clatworthy)
1724
1725
INTERNALS:
1726
1727
* New -Dhttp debug option reports http connections, requests and responses.

1731
1732
BUGFIXES:

* Better error message when running ``bzr cat`` on a non-existant branch.
1735
(Lukáš Lalinský, #133782)
1736
1737
* Catch OSError 17 (file exists) in final phase of tree transform and show
1738
filename to user.
1739
(Alexander Belchenko, #111758)
1740
1741
* Catch ShortReadvErrors while using pycurl. Also make readv more robust by
1742
allowing multiple GET requests to be issued if too many ranges are
1743
required.
1744
(Vincent Ladeuil, #172701)
1745
1746
* Check for missing basis texts when fetching from packs to packs.
1747
(John Arbash Meinel, #165290)
1748
1749
* Fall back to showing e-mail in ``log --short/--line`` if the
1750
committer/author has only e-mail. (Lukáš Lalinský, #157026)
1751
1752
API BREAKS:

bzr 1.0rc1 2007-11-30
1759
---------------------
1760
1761
NOTES WHEN UPGRADING:
1762
1763
* The default repository format is now ``pack-0.92``. This
1764
default is used when creating new repositories with ``init`` and
1765
``init-repo``, and when branching over bzr+ssh or bzr+hpss.
1766
(See https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/164626)
1767
1768
This format can be read and written by Bazaar 0.92 and later, and
1769
data can be transferred to and from older formats.
1770
1771
To upgrade, please reconcile your repository (``bzr reconcile``), and then
1772
upgrade (``bzr upgrade``).
1773
1774
``pack-0.92`` offers substantially better scaling and performance than the
1775
previous knits format. Some operations are slower where the code already
1776
had bad scaling characteristics under knits, the pack format makes such
1777
operations more visible as part of being more scalable overall. We will
1778
correct such operations over the coming releases and encourage the filing
1779
of bugs on any operation which you observe to be slower in a packs
1780
repository. One particular case that we do not intend to fix is pulling
1781
data from a pack repository into a knit repository over a high latency
1782
link; downgrading such data requires reinsertion of the file texts, and
1783
this is a classic space/time tradeoff. The current implementation is
1784
conservative on memory usage because we need to support converting data
1785
from any tree without problems.
1786
(Robert Collins, Martin Pool, #164476)
1787
1788
CHANGES:
1789
1790
* Disable detection of plink.exe as possible ssh vendor. Plink vendor
1791
still available if user selects it explicitly with BZR_SSH environment
1792
variable. (Alexander Belchenko, workaround for bug #107593)
1793
1794
* The pack format is now accessible as "pack-0.92", or "pack-0.92-subtree"
1795
to enable the subtree functions (for example, for bzr-svn).
1796
See http://doc.bazaar-vcs.org/latest/developer/packrepo.html
1797
(Martin Pool)
1798
1799
FEATURES:
1800
1801
* New ``authentication.conf`` file holding the password or other credentials
1802
for remote servers. This can be used for ssh, sftp, smtp and other
1803
supported transports.
1804
(Vincent Ladeuil)
1805
1806
* New rich-root and rich-root-pack formats, recording the same data about
1807
tree roots that's recorded for all other directories.
1808
(Aaron Bentley, #164639)
1809
1810
* ``pack-0.92`` repositories can now be reconciled.
1811
(Robert Collins, #154173)
1812
1813
* ``switch`` command added for changing the branch a lightweight checkout
1814
is associated with and updating the tree to reflect the latest content
1815
accordingly. This command was previously part of the BzrTools plug-in.
1816
(Ian Clatworthy, Aaron Bentley, David Allouche)
1817
1818
* ``reconfigure`` command can now convert branches, trees, or checkouts to
1819
lightweight checkouts. (Aaron Bentley)
1820
1821
PERFORMANCE:
1822
1823
* Commit updates the state of the working tree via a delta rather than
1824
supplying entirely new basis trees. For commit of a single specified file
1825
this reduces the wall clock time for commit by roughly a 30%.
1826
(Robert Collins, Martin Pool)
1827
1828
* Commit with many automatically found deleted paths no longer performs
1829
linear scanning for the children of those paths during inventory
1830
iteration. This should fix commit performance blowing out when many such
1831
paths occur during commit. (Robert Collins, #156491)
1832
1833
* Fetch with pack repositories will no longer read the entire history graph.
1834
(Robert Collins, #88319)
1835
1836
* Revert takes out an appropriate lock when reverting to a basis tree, and
1837
does not read the basis inventory twice. (Robert Collins)
1838
1839
* Diff does not require an inventory to be generated on dirstate trees.
1840
(Aaron Bentley, #149254)
1841
1842
* New annotate merge (--merge-type=weave) implementation is fast on
1843
versionedfiles withough cached annotations, e.g. pack-0.92.
1844
(Aaron Bentley)
1845
1846
IMPROVEMENTS:
1847
1848
* ``bzr merge`` now warns when it encounters a criss-cross merge.
1849
(Aaron Bentley)
1850
1851
* ``bzr send`` now doesn't require the target e-mail address to be
1852
specified on the command line if an interactive e-mail client is used.
1853
(Lukáš Lalinský)
1854
1855
* ``bzr tags`` now prints the revision number for each tag, instead of
1856
the revision id, unless --show-ids is passed. In addition, tags can be
1857
sorted chronologically instead of lexicographically with --sort=time.
1858
(Adeodato Simó, #120231)
1859
1860
* Windows standalone version of bzr is able to load system-wide plugins from
1861
"plugins" subdirectory in installation directory. In addition standalone
1862
installer write to the registry (HKLM\SOFTWARE\Bazaar) useful info
1863
about paths and bzr version. (Alexander Belchenko, #129298)

1872
* Branching from a branch via smart server now preserves the repository
1873
format. (Andrew Bennetts, #164626)
1874
1875
* ``commit`` is now able to invoke an external editor in a non-ascii
1876
directory. (Daniel Watkins, #84043)
1877
1878

(Robert Collins, John A Meinel, #162931, #165071)
1883
1884
* Conflicts are now resolved recursively by ``revert``.
1885
(Aaron Bentley, #102739)
1886
1887
* Detect invalid transport reuse attempts by catching invalid URLs.
1888
(Vincent Ladeuil, #161819)
1889
1890
* Deleting a file without removing it shows a correct diff, not a traceback.
1891
(Aaron Bentley)
1892
1893
* Do no use timeout in HttpServer anymore.
1894
(Vincent Ladeuil, #158972).
1895
1896
* Don't catch the exceptions related to the http pipeline status before
1897
retrying an http request or some programming errors may be masked.
1898
(Vincent Ladeuil, #160012)
1899
1900
* Fix ``bzr rm`` to not delete modified and ignored files.
1901
(Lukáš Lalinský, #172598)
1902
1903
* Fix exception when revisionspec contains merge revisons but log
1904
formatter doesn't support merge revisions. (Kent Gibson, #148908)
1905
1906
* Fix exception when ScopeReplacer is assigned to before any members have
1907
been retrieved. (Aaron Bentley)
1908
1909
* Fix multiple connections during checkout --lightweight.

1912
* Fix possible error in insert_data_stream when copying between
1913
pack repositories over bzr+ssh or bzr+http.
1914
KnitVersionedFile.get_data_stream now makes sure that requested
1915
compression parents are sent before any delta hunks that depend
1916
on them.
1917
(Martin Pool, #164637)
1918
1919
* Fix typo in limiting offsets coalescing for http, leading to
1920
whole files being downloaded instead of parts.
1921
(Vincent Ladeuil, #165061)
1922
1923
* FTP server errors don't error in the error handling code.
1924
(Robert Collins, #161240)
1925
1926
* Give a clearer message when a pull fails because the source needs
1927
to be reconciled.
1928
(Martin Pool, #164443)
1929
1930
* It is clearer when a plugin cannot be loaded because of its name, and a
1931
suggestion for an acceptable name is given. (Daniel Watkins, #103023)
1932
1933
* Leave port as None in transport objects if user doesn't
1934
specify a port in urls.
1935
(vincent Ladeuil, #150860)
1936
1937
* Make sure Repository.fetch(self) is properly a no-op for all
1938
Repository implementations. (John Arbash Meinel, #158333)
1939

1941
(Alexander Belchenko, #71147)

(Aaron Bentley, Lukáš Lalinský, #136890)
1945
1946
* Obsolete packs are now cleaned up by pack and autopack operations.
1947
(Robert Collins, #153789)
1948
1949
* Operations pulling data from a smart server where the underlying
1950
repositories are not both annotated/both unannotated will now work.
1951
(Robert Collins, #165304).
1952
1953
* Reconcile now shows progress bars. (Robert Collins, #159351)
1954
1955
* ``RemoteBranch`` was not initializing ``self._revision_id_to_revno_map``
1956
properly. (John Arbash Meinel, #162486)
1957
1958

1959
Watkins, #152811)

1969
(Alexander Belchenko, workaround for #81689)
1970
1971
* Revert doesn't crash when restoring a single file from a deleted
1972
directory. (Aaron Bentley)
1973
1974
* Stderr output via logging mechanism now goes through encoded wrapper
1975
and no more uses utf-8, but terminal encoding instead. So all unicode
1976
strings now should be readable in non-utf-8 terminal.
1977
(Alexander Belchenko, #54173)
1978
1979
* The error message when ``move --after`` should be used makes how to do so
1980
clearer. (Daniel Watkins, #85237)
1981
1982
* Unicode-safe output from ``bzr info``. The output will be encoded
1983
using the terminal encoding and unrepresentable characters will be
1984
replaced by '?'. (Lukáš Lalinský, #151844)
1985
1986
* Working trees are no longer created when pushing into a local no-trees
1987
repo. (Daniel Watkins, #50582)
1988
1989
* Upgrade util/configobj to version 4.4.0.
1990
(Vincent Ladeuil, #151208).
1991
1992
* Wrap medusa ftp test server as an FTPServer feature.
1993
(Vincent Ladeuil, #157752)
1994
1995
API BREAKS:
1996
1997
* ``osutils.backup_file`` is deprecated. Actually it's not used in bzrlib
1998
during very long time. (Alexander Belchenko)
1999
2000
* The return value of
2001
``VersionedFile.iter_lines_added_or_present_in_versions`` has been
2002
changed. Previously it was an iterator of lines, now it is an iterator of
2003
(line, version_id) tuples. This change has been made to aid reconcile and
2004
fetch operations. (Robert Collins)
2005
2006
* ``bzrlib.repository.get_versioned_file_checker`` is now private.
2007
(Robert Collins)
2008
2009
* The Repository format registry default has been removed; it was previously
2010
obsoleted by the bzrdir format default, which implies a default repository
2011
format.
2012
(Martin Pool)
2013
2014
INTERNALS:
2015
2016
* Added ``ContainerSerialiser`` and ``ContainerPushParser`` to
2017
``bzrlib.pack``. These classes provide more convenient APIs for generating
2018
and parsing containers from streams rather than from files. (Andrew
2019
Bennetts)
2020
2021
* New module ``lru_cache`` providing a cache for use by tasks that need
2022
semi-random access to large amounts of data. (John A Meinel)
2023
2024
* InventoryEntry.diff is now deprecated. Please use diff.DiffTree instead.

NOTES WHEN UPGRADING:
2041
2042
CHANGES:
2043
2044
* ``bzr`` now returns exit code 4 if an internal error occurred, and
2045
3 if a normal error occurred. (Martin Pool)
2046
2047
* ``pull``, ``merge`` and ``push`` will no longer silently correct some
2048
repository index errors that occured as a result of the Weave disk format.
2049
Instead the ``reconcile`` command needs to be run to correct those
2050
problems if they exist (and it has been able to fix most such problems
2051
since bzr 0.8). Some new problems have been identified during this release
2052
and you should run ``bzr check`` once on every repository to see if you
2053
need to reconcile. If you cannot ``pull`` or ``merge`` from a remote
2054
repository due to mismatched parent errors - a symptom of index errors -
2055
you should simply take a full copy of that remote repository to a clean
2056
directory outside any local repositories, then run reconcile on it, and
2057
finally pull from it locally. (And naturally email the repositories owner
2058
to ask them to upgrade and run reconcile).
2059
(Robert Collins)
2060
2061
FEATURES:
2062
2063
* New ``knitpack-experimental`` repository format. This is interoperable with
2064
the ``dirstate-tags`` format but uses a smarter storage design that greatly
2065
speeds up many operations, both local and remote. This new format can be
2066
used as an option to the ``init``, ``init-repository`` and ``upgrade``
2067
commands. See http://doc.bazaar-vcs.org/0.92/developers/knitpack.html
2068
for further details. (Robert Collins)
2069
2070
* For users of bzr-svn (and those testing the prototype subtree support) that
2071
wish to try packs, a new ``knitpack-subtree-experimental`` format has also
2072
been added. This is interoperable with the ``dirstate-subtrees`` format.
2073
(Robert Collins)
2074
2075
* New ``reconfigure`` command. (Aaron Bentley)
2076
2077
* New ``revert --forget-merges`` command, which removes the record of a pending
2078
merge without affecting the working tree contents. (Martin Pool)
2079
2080
* New ``bzr_remote_path`` configuration variable allows finer control of
2081
remote bzr locations than BZR_REMOTE_PATH environment variable.
2082
(Aaron Bentley)
2083
2084
* New ``launchpad-login`` command to tell Bazaar your Launchpad
2085
user ID. This can then be used by other functions of the
2086
Launchpad plugin. (James Henstridge)
2087
2088
PERFORMANCE:
2089
2090
* Commit in quiet mode is now slightly faster as the information to
2091
output is no longer calculated. (Ian Clatworthy)
2092
2093
* Commit no longer checks for new text keys during insertion when the
2094
revision id was deterministically unique. (Robert Collins)
2095
2096
* Committing a change which is not a merge and does not change the number of
2097
files in the tree is faster by utilising the data about whether files are
2098
changed to determine if the tree is unchanged rather than recalculating
2099
it at the end of the commit process. (Robert Collins)
2100
2101
* Inventory serialisation no longer double-sha's the content.
2102
(Robert Collins)
2103
2104
* Knit text reconstruction now avoids making copies of the lines list for
2105
interim texts when building a single text. The new ``apply_delta`` method
2106
on ``KnitContent`` aids this by allowing modification of the revision id
2107
such objects represent. (Robert Collins)
2108
2109
* Pack indices are now partially parsed for specific key lookup using a
2110
bisection approach. (Robert Collins)
2111
2112
* Partial commits are now approximately 40% faster by walking over the
2113
unselected current tree more efficiently. (Robert Collins)
2114
2115
* XML inventory serialisation takes 20% less time while being stricter about
2116
the contents. (Robert Collins)
2117
2118
* Graph ``heads()`` queries have been fixed to no longer access all history
2119
unnecessarily. (Robert Collins)
2120
2121
IMPROVEMENTS:
2122
2123
* ``bzr+https://`` smart server across https now supported.
2124
(John Ferlito, Martin Pool, #128456)
2125
2126
* Mutt is now a supported mail client; set ``mail_client=mutt`` in your
2127
bazaar.conf and ``send`` will use mutt. (Keir Mierle)
2128
2129
* New option ``-c``/``--change`` for ``merge`` command for cherrypicking
2130
changes from one revision. (Alexander Belchenko, #141368)
2131
2132
* Show encodings, locale and list of plugins in the traceback message.
2133
(Martin Pool, #63894)
2134
2135
* Experimental directory formats can now be marked with
2136
``experimental = True`` during registration. (Ian Clatworthy)
2137
2138
DOCUMENTATION:
2139
2140
* New *Bazaar in Five Minutes* guide. (Matthew Revell)
2141
2142
* The hooks reference documentation is now converted to html as expected.
2143
(Ian Clatworthy)
2144
2145
BUG FIXES:
2146
2147
* Connection error reporting for the smart server has been fixed to
2148
display a user friendly message instead of a traceback.
2149
(Ian Clatworthy, #115601)
2150
2151
* Make sure to use ``O_BINARY`` when opening files to check their
2152
sha1sum. (Alexander Belchenko, John Arbash Meinel, #153493)
2153
2154
* Fix a problem with Win32 handling of the executable bit.
2155
(John Arbash Meinel, #149113)
2156
2157
* ``bzr+ssh://`` and ``sftp://`` URLs that do not specify ports explicitly
2158
no longer assume that means port 22. This allows people using OpenSSH to
2159
override the default port in their ``~/.ssh/config`` if they wish. This
2160
fixes a bug introduced in bzr 0.91. (Andrew Bennetts, #146715)
2161
2162
* Commands reporting exceptions can now be profiled and still have their
2163
data correctly dumped to a file. For example, a ``bzr commit`` with
2164
no changes still reports the operation as pointless but doing so no
2165
longer throws away the profiling data if this command is run with
2166
``--lsprof-file callgrind.out.ci`` say. (Ian Clatworthy)
2167
2168
* Fallback to ftp when paramiko is not installed and sftp can't be used for
2169
``tests/commands`` so that the test suite is still usable without
2170
paramiko.
2171
(Vincent Ladeuil, #59150)
2172
2173
* Fix commit ordering in corner case. (Aaron Bentley, #94975)
2174
2175
* Fix long standing bug in partial commit when there are renames
2176
left in tree. (Robert Collins, #140419)
2177
2178
* Fix selftest semi-random noise during http related tests.
2179
(Vincent Ladeuil, #140614)
2180
2181
* Fix typo in ftp.py making the reconnection fail on temporary errors.
2182
(Vincent Ladeuil, #154259)
2183
2184
* Fix failing test by comparing real paths to cover the case where the TMPDIR
2185
contains a symbolic link.
2186
(Vincent Ladeuil, #141382).
2187
2188
* Fix log against smart server branches that don't support tags.
2189
(James Westby, #140615)
2190
2191
* Fix pycurl http implementation by defining error codes from
2192
pycurl instead of relying on an old curl definition.
2193
(Vincent Ladeuil, #147530)
2194
2195
* Fix 'unprintable error' message when displaying BzrCheckError and
2196
some other exceptions on Python 2.5.
2197
(Martin Pool, #144633)
2198
2199
* Fix ``Inventory.copy()`` and add test for it. (Jelmer Vernooij)
2200
2201
* Handles default value for ListOption in cmd_commit.
2202
(Vincent Ladeuil, #140432)
2203
2204
* HttpServer and FtpServer need to be closed properly or a listening socket
2205
will remain opened.
2206
(Vincent Ladeuil, #140055)
2207
2208
* Monitor the .bzr directory created in the top level test
2209
directory to detect leaking tests.
2210
(Vincent Ladeuil, #147986)
2211
2212
* The basename, not the full path, is now used when checking whether
2213
the profiling dump file begins with ``callgrind.out`` or not. This
2214
fixes a bug reported by Aaron Bentley on IRC. (Ian Clatworthy)
2215
2216
* Trivial fix for invoking command ``reconfigure`` without arguments.
2217
(Rob Weir, #141629)
2218
2219
* ``WorkingTree.rename_one`` will now raise an error if normalisation of the
2220
new path causes bzr to be unable to access the file. (Robert Collins)
2221
2222
* Correctly detect a NoSuchFile when using a filezilla server. (Gary van der
2223
Merwe)
2224
2225
API BREAKS:
2226
2227
* ``bzrlib.index.GraphIndex`` now requires a size parameter to the
2228
constructor, for enabling bisection searches. (Robert Collins)
2229
2230
* ``CommitBuilder.record_entry_contents`` now requires the root entry of a
2231
tree be supplied to it, previously failing to do so would trigger a
2232
deprecation warning. (Robert Collins)
2233
2234
* ``KnitVersionedFile.add*`` will no longer cache added records even when
2235
enable_cache() has been called - the caching feature is now exclusively for
2236
reading existing data. (Robert Collins)
2237
2238
* ``ReadOnlyLockError`` is deprecated; ``LockFailed`` is usually more
2239
appropriate. (Martin Pool)
2240
2241
* Removed ``bzrlib.transport.TransportLogger`` - please see the new
2242
``trace+`` transport instead. (Robert Collins)
2243
2244
* Removed previously deprecated varargs interface to ``TestCase.run_bzr`` and
2245
deprecated methods ``TestCase.capture`` and ``TestCase.run_bzr_captured``.
2246
(Martin Pool)
2247
2248
* Removed previous deprecated ``basis_knit`` parameter to the
2249
``KnitVersionedFile`` constructor. (Robert Collins)
2250
2251
* Special purpose method ``TestCase.run_bzr_decode`` is moved to the test_non_ascii
2252
class that needs it.
2253
(Martin Pool)
2254
2255
* The class ``bzrlib.repofmt.knitrepo.KnitRepository3`` has been folded into
2256
``KnitRepository`` by parameters to the constructor. (Robert Collins)
2257
2258
* The ``VersionedFile`` interface now allows content checks to be bypassed
2259
by supplying check_content=False. This saves nearly 30% of the minimum
2260
cost to store a version of a file. (Robert Collins)
2261
2262
* Tree's with bad state such as files with no length or sha will no longer
2263
be silently accepted by the repository XML serialiser. To serialise
2264
inventories without such data, pass working=True to write_inventory.
2265
(Robert Collins)
2266
2267
* ``VersionedFile.fix_parents`` has been removed as a harmful API.
2268
``VersionedFile.join`` will no longer accept different parents on either
2269
side of a join - it will either ignore them, or error, depending on the
2270
implementation. See notes when upgrading for more information.
2271
(Robert Collins)
2272
2273
INTERNALS:
2274
2275
* ``bzrlib.transport.Transport.put_file`` now returns the number of bytes
2276
put by the method call, to allow avoiding stat-after-write or
2277
housekeeping in callers. (Robert Collins)
2278
2279
* ``bzrlib.xml_serializer.Serializer`` is now responsible for checking that
2280
mandatory attributes are present on serialisation and deserialisation.
2281
This fixes some holes in API usage and allows better separation between
2282
physical storage and object serialisation. (Robert Collins)
2283
2284
* New class ``bzrlib.errors.InternalBzrError`` which is just a convenient
2285
shorthand for deriving from BzrError and setting internal_error = True.
2286
(Robert Collins)
2287
2288
* New method ``bzrlib.mutabletree.update_to_one_parent_via_delta`` for
2289
moving the state of a parent tree to a new version via a delta rather than
2290
a complete replacement tree. (Robert Collins)
2291
2292
* New method ``bzrlib.osutils.minimum_path_selection`` useful for removing
2293
duplication from user input, when a user mentions both a path and an item
2294
contained within that path. (Robert Collins)
2295
2296
* New method ``bzrlib.repository.Repository.is_write_locked`` useful for
2297
determining if a repository is write locked. (Robert Collins)
2298
2299
* New method on ``bzrlib.tree.Tree`` ``path_content_summary`` provides a
2300
tuple containing the key information about a path for commit processing
2301
to complete. (Robert Collins)
2302
2303
* New method on xml serialisers, write_inventory_to_lines, which matches the
2304
API used by knits for adding content. (Robert Collins)
2305
2306
* New module ``bzrlib.bisect_multi`` with generic multiple-bisection-at-once
2307
logic, currently only available for byte-based lookup
2308
(``bisect_multi_bytes``). (Robert Collins)
2309
2310
* New helper ``bzrlib.tuned_gzip.bytes_to_gzip`` which takes a byte string
2311
and returns a gzipped version of the same. This is used to avoid a bunch
2312
of api friction during adding of knit hunks. (Robert Collins)
2313
2314
* New parameter on ``bzrlib.transport.Transport.readv``
2315
``adjust_for_latency`` which changes readv from returning strictly the
2316
requested data to inserted return larger ranges and in forward read order
2317
to reduce the effect of network latency. (Robert Collins)
2318
2319
* New parameter yield_parents on ``Inventory.iter_entries_by_dir`` which
2320
causes the parents of a selected id to be returned recursively, so all the
2321
paths from the root down to each element of selected_file_ids are
2322
returned. (Robert Collins)
2323
2324
* Knit joining has been enhanced to support plain to annotated conversion
2325
and annotated to plain conversion. (Ian Clatworthy)
2326
2327
* The CommitBuilder method ``record_entry_contents`` now returns summary
2328
information about the effect of the commit on the repository. This tuple
2329
contains an inventory delta item if the entry changed from the basis, and a
2330
boolean indicating whether a new file graph node was recorded.
2331
(Robert Collins)
2332
2333
* The python path used in the Makefile can now be overridden.
2334
(Andrew Bennetts, Ian Clatworthy)
2335
2336
TESTING:
2337
2338
* New transport implementation ``trace+`` which is useful for testing,
2339
logging activity taken to its _activity attribute. (Robert Collins)
2340
2341
* When running bzr commands within the test suite, internal exceptions are
2342
not caught and reported in the usual way, but rather allowed to propagate
2343
up and be visible to the test suite. A new API ``run_bzr_catch_user_errors``
2344
makes this behavior available to other users.
2345
(Martin Pool)
2346
2347
* New method ``TestCase.call_catch_warnings`` for testing methods that
2348
raises a Python warning. (Martin Pool)

2352
-------------------
2353
2354
BUG FIXES:
2355
2356
* Print a warning instead of aborting the ``python setup.py install``
2357
process if building of a C extension is not possible.
2358
(Lukáš Lalinský, Alexander Belchenko)
2359
2360
* Fix commit ordering in corner case (Aaron Bentley, #94975)
2361
2362
* Fix ''bzr info bzr://host/'' and other operations on ''bzr://' URLs with
2363
an implicit port. We were incorrectly raising PathNotChild due to
2364
inconsistent treatment of the ''_port'' attribute on the Transport object.
2365
(Andrew Bennetts, #133965)
2366
2367
* Make RemoteRepository.sprout cope gracefully with servers that don't
2368
support the ``Repository.tarball`` request.

2372
bzr 0.91rc2 2007-09-11
2373
----------------------
2374
2375
* Replaced incorrect tarball for previous release; a debug statement was left
2376
in bzrlib/remote.py.

bzr 0.91rc1 2007-09-11
2380
----------------------
2381
2382
CHANGES:
2383
2384
* The default branch and repository format has changed to
2385
``dirstate-tags``, so tag commands are active by default.
2386
This format is compatible with Bazaar 0.15 and later.
2387
This incidentally fixes bug #126141.
2388
(Martin Pool)
2389
2390
* ``--quiet`` or ``-q`` is no longer a global option. If present, it
2391
must now appear after the command name. Scripts doing things like
2392
``bzr -q missing`` need to be rewritten as ``bzr missing -q``.
2393
(Ian Clatworthy)
2394
2395
FEATURES:
2396
2397
* New option ``--author`` in ``bzr commit`` to specify the author of the
2398
change, if it's different from the committer. ``bzr log`` and
2399
``bzr annotate`` display the author instead of the committer.
2400
(Lukáš Lalinský)
2401
2402
* In addition to global options and command specific options, a set of
2403
standard options are now supported. Standard options are legal for
2404
all commands. The initial set of standard options are:
2405
2406
* ``--help`` or ``-h`` - display help message
2407
* ``--verbose`` or ``-v`` - display additional information
2408
* ``--quiet`` or ``-q`` - only output warnings and errors.
2409
2410
Unlike global options, standard options can be used in aliases and
2411
may have command-specific help. (Ian Clatworthy)
2412
2413
* Verbosity level processing has now been unified. If ``--verbose``
2414
or ``-v`` is specified on the command line multiple times, the
2415
verbosity level is made positive the first time then increased.
2416
If ``--quiet`` or ``-q`` is specified on the command line
2417
multiple times, the verbosity level is made negative the first
2418
time then decreased. To get the default verbosity level of zero,
2419
either specify none of the above , ``--no-verbose`` or ``--no-quiet``.
2420
Note that most commands currently ignore the magnitude of the
2421
verbosity level but do respect *quiet vs normal vs verbose* when
2422
generating output. (Ian Clatworthy)
2423
2424
* ``Branch.hooks`` now supports ``pre_commit`` hook. The hook's signature
2425
is documented in BranchHooks constructor. (Nam T. Nguyen, #102747)
2426
2427
* New ``Repository.stream_knit_data_for_revisions`` request added to the
2428
network protocol for greatly reduced roundtrips when retrieving a set of
2429
revisions. (Andrew Bennetts)
2430
2431
BUG FIXES:
2432
2433
* ``bzr plugins`` now lists the version number for each plugin in square
2434
brackets after the path. (Robert Collins, #125421)
2435
2436
* Pushing, pulling and branching branches with subtree references was not
2437
copying the subtree weave, preventing the file graph from being accessed
2438
and causing errors in commits in clones. (Robert Collins)
2439
2440
* Suppress warning "integer argument expected, got float" from Paramiko,
2441
which sometimes caused false test failures. (Martin Pool)
2442
2443
* Fix bug in bundle 4 that could cause attempts to write data to wrong
2444
versionedfile. (Aaron Bentley)
2445
2446
* Diffs generated using "diff -p" no longer break the patch parser.
2447
(Aaron Bentley)
2448
2449
* get_transport treats an empty possible_transports list the same as a non-
2450
empty one. (Aaron Bentley)
2451
2452
* patch verification for merge directives is reactivated, and works with
2453
CRLF and CR files. (Aaron Bentley)
2454
2455
* Accept ..\ as a path in revision specifiers. This fixes for example
2456
"-r branch:..\other-branch" on Windows. (Lukáš Lalinský)
2457
2458
* ``BZR_PLUGIN_PATH`` may now contain trailing slashes.
2459
(Blake Winton, #129299)
2460
2461
* man page no longer lists hidden options (#131667, Aaron Bentley)
2462
2463
* ``uncommit --help`` now explains the -r option adequately. (Daniel
2464
Watkins, #106726)
2465
2466
* Error messages are now better formatted with parameters (such as
2467
filenames) quoted when necessary. This avoids confusion when directory
2468
names ending in a '.' at the end of messages were confused with a
2469
full stop that may or not have been there. (Daniel Watkins, #129791)
2470
2471
* Fix ``status FILE -r X..Y``. (Lukáš Lalinský)
2472
2473
* If a particular command is an alias, ``help`` will show the alias
2474
instead of claiming there is no help for said alias. (Daniel Watkins,
2475
#133548)
2476
2477
* TreeTransform-based operations, like pull, merge, revert, and branch,
2478
now roll back if they encounter an error. (Aaron Bentley, #67699)
2479
2480
* ``bzr commit`` now exits cleanly if a character unsupported by the
2481
current encoding is used in the commit message. (Daniel Watkins,
2482
#116143)
2483
2484
* bzr send uses default values for ranges when only half of an elipsis
2485
is specified ("-r..5" or "-r5.."). (#61685, Aaron Bentley)
2486
2487
* Avoid trouble when Windows ssh calls itself 'plink' but no plink
2488
binary is present. (Martin Albisetti, #107155)
2489
2490
* ``bzr remove`` should remove clean subtrees. Now it will remove (without
2491
needing ``--force``) subtrees that contain no files with text changes or
2492
modified files. With ``--force`` it removes the subtree regardless of
2493
text changes or unknown files. Directories with renames in or out (but
2494
not changed otherwise) will now be removed without needing ``--force``.
2495
Unknown ignored files will be deleted without needing ``--force``.
2496
(Marius Kruger, #111665)
2497
2498
* When two plugins conflict, the source of both the losing and now the
2499
winning definition is shown. (Konstantin Mikhaylov, #5454)
2500
2501
* When committing to a branch, the location being committed to is
2502
displayed. (Daniel Watkins, #52479)
2503
2504
* ``bzr --version`` takes care about encoding of stdout, especially
2505
when output is redirected. (Alexander Belchenko, #131100)
2506
2507
* Prompt for an ftp password if none is provided.
2508
(Vincent Ladeuil, #137044)
2509
2510
* Reuse bound branch associated transport to avoid multiple
2511
connections.
2512
(Vincent Ladeuil, #128076, #131396)
2513
2514
* Overwrite conflicting tags by ``push`` and ``pull`` if the
2515
``--overwrite`` option is specified. (Lukáš Lalinský, #93947)
2516
2517
* In checkouts, tags are copied into the master branch when created,
2518
changed or deleted, and are copied into the checkout when it is
2519
updated. (Martin Pool, #93856, #93860)
2520
2521
* Print a warning instead of aborting the ``python setup.py install``
2522
process if building of a C extension is not possible.
2523
(Lukáš Lalinský, Alexander Belchenko)
2524
2525
IMPROVEMENTS:
2526
2527
* Add the option "--show-diff" to the commit command in order to display
2528
the diff during the commit log creation. (Goffredo Baroncelli)
2529
2530
* ``pull`` and ``merge`` are much faster at installing bundle format 4.
2531
(Aaron Bentley)
2532
2533
* ``pull -v`` no longer includes deltas, making it much faster.
2534
(Aaron Bentley)
2535
2536
* ``send`` now sends the directive as an attachment by default.
2537
(Aaron Bentley, Lukáš Lalinský, Alexander Belchenko)
2538
2539
* Documentation updates (Martin Albisetti)
2540
2541
* Help on debug flags is now included in ``help global-options``.
2542
(Daniel Watkins, #124853)
2543
2544
* Parameters passed on the command line are checked to ensure they are
2545
supported by the encoding in use. (Daniel Watkins)
2546
2547
* The compression used within the bzr repository has changed from zlib
2548
level 9 to the zlib default level. This improves commit performance with
2549
only a small increase in space used (and in some cases a reduction in
2550
space). (Robert Collins)
2551
2552
* Initial commit no longer SHAs files twice and now reuses the path
2553
rather than looking it up again, making it faster.
2554
(Ian Clatworthy)
2555
2556
* New option ``-c``/``--change`` for ``diff`` and ``status`` to show
2557
changes in one revision. (Lukáš Lalinský)
2558
2559
* If versioned files match a given ignore pattern, a warning is now
2560
given. (Daniel Watkins, #48623)
2561
2562
* ``bzr status`` now has -S as a short name for --short and -V as a
2563
short name for --versioned. These have been added to assist users
2564
migrating from Subversion: ``bzr status -SV`` is now like
2565
``svn status -q``. (Daniel Watkins, #115990)
2566
2567
* Added C implementation of ``PatienceSequenceMatcher``, which is about
2568
10x faster than the Python version. This speeds up commands that
2569
need file diffing, such as ``bzr commit`` or ``bzr diff``.
2570
(Lukáš Lalinský)
2571
2572
* HACKING has been extended with a large section on core developer tasks.
2573
(Ian Clatworthy)
2574
2575
* Add ``branches`` and ``standalone-trees`` as online help topics and
2576
include them as Concepts within the User Reference.
2577
(Paul Moore, Ian Clatworthy)
2578
2579
* ``check`` can detect versionedfile parent references that are
2580
inconsistent with revision and inventory info, and ``reconcile`` can fix
2581
them. These faulty references were generated by 0.8-era releases,
2582
so repositories which were manipulated by old bzrs should be
2583
checked, and possibly reconciled ASAP. (Aaron Bentley, Andrew Bennetts)
2584
2585
API BREAKS:
2586
2587
* ``Branch.append_revision`` is removed altogether; please use
2588
``Branch.set_last_revision_info`` instead. (Martin Pool)
2589
2590
* CommitBuilder now advertises itself as requiring the root entry to be
2591
supplied. This only affects foreign repository implementations which reuse
2592
CommitBuilder directly and have changed record_entry_contents to require
2593
that the root not be supplied. This should be precisely zero plugins
2594
affected. (Robert Collins)
2595
2596
* The ``add_lines`` methods on ``VersionedFile`` implementations has changed
2597
its return value to include the sha1 and length of the inserted text. This
2598
allows the avoidance of double-sha1 calculations during commit.
2599
(Robert Collins)
2600
2601
* ``Transport.should_cache`` has been removed. It was not called in the
2602
previous release. (Martin Pool)
2603
2604
TESTING:
2605
2606
* Tests may now raise TestNotApplicable to indicate they shouldn't be
2607
run in a particular scenario. (Martin Pool)
2608
2609
* New function multiply_tests_from_modules to give a simpler interface
2610
to test parameterization. (Martin Pool, Robert Collins)
2611
2612
* ``Transport.should_cache`` has been removed. It was not called in the
2613
previous release. (Martin Pool)
2614
2615
* NULL_REVISION is returned to indicate the null revision, not None.
2616
(Aaron Bentley)
2617
2618
* Use UTF-8 encoded StringIO for log tests to avoid failures on
2619
non-ASCII committer names. (Lukáš Lalinský)
2620
2621
INTERNALS:
2622
2623
* ``bzrlib.plugin.all_plugins`` has been deprecated in favour of
2624
``bzrlib.plugin.plugins()`` which returns PlugIn objects that provide
2625
useful functionality for determining the path of a plugin, its tests, and
2626
its version information. (Robert Collins)
2627
2628
* Add the option user_encoding to the function 'show_diff_trees()'
2629
in order to move the user encoding at the UI level. (Goffredo Baroncelli)
2630
2631
* Add the function make_commit_message_template_encoded() and the function
2632
edit_commit_message_encoded() which handle encoded strings.
2633
This is done in order to mix the commit messages (which is a unicode
2634
string), and the diff which is a raw string. (Goffredo Baroncelli)
2635
2636
* CommitBuilder now defaults to using add_lines_with_ghosts, reducing
2637
overhead on non-weave repositories which don't require all parents to be
2638
present. (Robert Collins)
2639
2640
* Deprecated method ``find_previous_heads`` on
2641
``bzrlib.inventory.InventoryEntry``. This has been superseded by the use
2642
of ``parent_candidates`` and a separate heads check via the repository
2643
API. (Robert Collins)
2644
2645
* New trace function ``mutter_callsite`` will print out a subset of the
2646
stack to the log, which can be useful for gathering debug details.
2647
(Robert Collins)
2648
2649
* ``bzrlib.pack.ContainerWriter`` now tracks how many records have been
2650
added via a public attribute records_written. (Robert Collins)
2651
2652
* New method ``bzrlib.transport.Transport.get_recommended_page_size``.
2653
This provides a hint to users of transports as to the reasonable
2654
minimum data to read. In principle this can take latency and
2655
bandwidth into account on a per-connection basis, but for now it
2656
just has hard coded values based on the url. (e.g. http:// has a large
2657
page size, file:// has a small one.) (Robert Collins)
2658
2659
* New method on ``bzrlib.transport.Transport`` ``open_write_stream`` allows
2660
incremental addition of data to a file without requiring that all the
2661
data be buffered in memory. (Robert Collins)
2662
2663
* New methods on ``bzrlib.knit.KnitVersionedFile``:
2664
``get_data_stream(versions)``, ``insert_data_stream(stream)`` and
2665
``get_format_signature()``. These provide some infrastructure for
2666
efficiently streaming the knit data for a set of versions over the smart
2667
protocol.
2668
2669
* Knits with no annotation cache still produce correct annotations.
2670
(Aaron Bentley)
2671
2672
* Three new methods have been added to ``bzrlib.trace``:
2673
``set_verbosity_level``, ``get_verbosity_level`` and ``is_verbose``.
2674
``set_verbosity_level`` expects a numeric value: negative for quiet,
2675
zero for normal, positive for verbose. The size of the number can be
2676
used to determine just how quiet or verbose the application should be.
2677
The existing ``be_quiet`` and ``is_quiet`` routines have been
2678
integrated into this new scheme. (Ian Clatworthy)
2679
2680
* Options can now be delcared with a ``custom_callback`` parameter. If
2681
set, this routine is called after the option is processed. This feature
2682
is now used by the standard options ``verbose`` and ``quiet`` so that
2683
setting one implicitly resets the other. (Ian Clatworthy)
2684
2685
* Rather than declaring a new option from scratch in order to provide
2686
custom help, a centrally registered option can be decorated using the
2687
new ``bzrlib.Option.custom_help`` routine. In particular, this routine
2688
is useful when declaring better help for the ``verbose`` and ``quiet``
2689
standard options as the base definition of these is now more complex
2690
than before thanks to their use of a custom callback. (Ian Clatworthy)
2691
2692
* Tree._iter_changes(specific_file=[]) now iterates through no files,
2693
instead of iterating through all files. None is used to iterate through
2694
all files. (Aaron Bentley)
2695
2696
* WorkingTree.revert() now accepts None to revert all files. The use of
2697
[] to revert all files is deprecated. (Aaron Bentley)
2698
2699
2700
bzr 0.90 2007-08-28
2701
-------------------
2702
2703
IMPROVEMENTS:
2704
2705
* Documentation is now organized into multiple directories with a level
2706
added for different languages or locales. Added the Mini Tutorial
2707
and Quick Start Summary (en) documents from the Wiki, improving the
2708
content and readability of the former. Formatted NEWS as Release Notes
2709
complete with a Table of Conents, one heading per release. Moved the
2710
Developer Guide into the main document catalog and provided a link
2711
from the developer document catalog back to the main one.
2712
(Ian Clatworthy, Sabin Iacob, Alexander Belchenko)
2713
2714
2715
API CHANGES:
2716
2717
* The static convenience method ``BzrDir.create_repository``
2718
is deprecated. Callers should instead create a ``BzrDir`` instance
2719
and call ``create_repository`` on that. (Martin Pool)
2720

2722
bzr 0.90rc1 2007-08-14
2723
----------------------
2724
2725
BUGFIXES:
2726
2727
* ``bzr init`` should connect to the remote location one time only. We
2728
have been connecting several times because we forget to pass around the
2729
Transport object. This modifies ``BzrDir.create_branch_convenience``,
2730
so that we can give it the Transport we already have.
2731
(John Arbash Meinel, Vincent Ladeuil, #111702)
2732
2733
* Get rid of sftp connection cache (get rid of the FTP one too).
2734
(Vincent Ladeuil, #43731)
2735
2736
* bzr branch {local|remote} remote don't try to create a working tree
2737
anymore.
2738
(Vincent Ladeuil, #112173)
2739
2740
* All identified multiple connections for a single bzr command have been
2741
fixed. See bzrlib/tests/commands directory.
2742
(Vincent Ladeuil)
2743
2744
* ``bzr rm`` now does not insist on ``--force`` to delete files that
2745
have been renamed but not otherwise modified. (Marius Kruger,
2746
#111664)
2747
2748
* ``bzr selftest --bench`` no longer emits deprecation warnings
2749
(Lukáš Lalinský)
2750
2751
* ``bzr status`` now honours FILE parameters for conflict lists
2752
(Aaron Bentley, #127606)
2753
2754
* ``bzr checkout`` now honours -r when reconstituting a working tree.
2755
It also honours -r 0. (Aaron Bentley, #127708)
2756
2757
* ``bzr add *`` no more fails on Windows if working tree contains
2758
non-ascii file names. (Kuno Meyer, #127361)
2759
2760
* allow ``easy_install bzr`` runs without fatal errors.
2761
(Alexander Belchenko, #125521)
2762
2763
* Graph._filter_candidate_lca does not raise KeyError if a candidate
2764
is eliminated just before it would normally be examined. (Aaron Bentley)
2765
2766
* SMTP connection failures produce a nice message, not a traceback.
2767
(Aaron Bentley)
2768
2769
IMPROVEMENTS:
2770
2771
* Don't show "dots" progress indicators when run non-interactively, such
2772
as from cron. (Martin Pool)
2773
2774
* ``info`` now formats locations more nicely and lists "submit" and
2775
"public" branches (Aaron Bentley)
2776
2777
* New ``pack`` command that will trigger database compression within
2778
the repository (Robert Collins)
2779
2780
* Implement ``_KnitIndex._load_data`` in a pyrex extension. The pyrex
2781
version is approximately 2-3x faster at parsing a ``.kndx`` file.
2782
Which yields a measurable improvement for commands which have to
2783
read from the repository, such as a 1s => 0.75s improvement in
2784
``bzr diff`` when there are changes to be shown. (John Arbash Meinel)
2785
2786
* Merge is now faster. Depending on the scenario, it can be more than 2x
2787
faster. (Aaron Bentley)
2788
2789
* Give a clearer warning, and allow ``python setup.py install`` to
2790
succeed even if pyrex is not available.
2791
(John Arbash Meinel)
2792
2793
* ``DirState._read_dirblocks`` now has an optional Pyrex
2794
implementation. This improves the speed of any command that has to
2795
read the entire DirState. (``diff``, ``status``, etc, improve by
2796
about 10%).
2797
``bisect_dirblocks`` has also been improved, which helps all
2798
``_get_entry`` type calls (whenever we are searching for a
2799
particular entry in the in-memory DirState).
2800
(John Arbash Meinel)
2801
2802
* ``bzr pull`` and ``bzr push`` no longer do a complete walk of the
2803
branch revision history for ui display unless -v is supplied.
2804
(Robert Collins)
2805
2806
* ``bzr log -rA..B`` output shifted to the left margin if the log only
2807
contains merge revisions. (Kent Gibson)
2808
2809
* The ``plugins`` command is now public with improved help.
2810
(Ian Clatworthy)
2811
2812
* New bundle and merge directive formats are faster to generate, and
2813
2814
* Annotate merge now works when there are local changes. (Aaron Bentley)
2815
2816
* Commit now only shows the progress in terms of directories instead of
2817
entries. (Ian Clatworthy)
2818
2819
* Fix ``KnitRepository.get_revision_graph`` to not request the graph 2
2820
times. This makes ``get_revision_graph`` 2x faster. (John Arbash
2821
Meinel)
2822
2823
* Fix ``VersionedFile.get_graph()`` to avoid using
2824
``set.difference_update(other)``, which has bad scaling when
2825
``other`` is large. This improves ``VF.get_graph([version_id])`` for
2826
a 12.5k graph from 2.9s down to 200ms. (John Arbash Meinel)
2827
2828
* The ``--lsprof-file`` option now generates output for KCacheGrind if
2829
the file starts with ``callgrind.out``. This matches the default file
2830
filtering done by KCacheGrind's Open Dialog. (Ian Clatworthy)
2831
2832
* Fix ``bzr update`` to avoid an unnecessary
2833
``branch.get_master_branch`` call, which avoids 1 extra connection
2834
to the remote server. (Partial fix for #128076, John Arbash Meinel)
2835
2836
* Log errors from the smart server in the trace file, to make debugging
2837
test failures (and live failures!) easier. (Andrew Bennetts)
2838
2839
* The HTML version of the man page has been superceded by a more
2840
comprehensive manual called the Bazaar User Reference. This manual
2841
is completed generated from the online help topics. As part of this
2842
change, limited reStructuredText is now explicitly supported in help
2843
topics and command help with 'unnatural' markup being removed prior
2844
to display by the online help or inclusion in the man page.
2845
(Ian Clatworthy)
2846
2847
* HTML documentation now use files extension ``*.html``
2848
(Alexander Belchenko)
2849
2850
* The cache of ignore definitions is now cleared in WorkingTree.unlock()
2851
so that changes to .bzrignore aren't missed. (#129694, Daniel Watkins)
2852
2853
* ``bzr selftest --strict`` fails if there are any missing features or
2854
expected test failures. (Daniel Watkins, #111914)
2855
2856
* Link to registration survey added to README. (Ian Clatworthy)
2857
2858
* Windows standalone installer show link to registration survey
2859
when installation finished. (Alexander Belchenko)
2860
2861
LIBRARY API BREAKS:
2862
2863
* Deprecated dictionary ``bzrlib.option.SHORT_OPTIONS`` removed.
2864
Options are now required to provide a help string and it must
2865
comply with the style guide by being one or more sentences with an
2866
initial capital and final period. (Martin Pool)
2867
2868
* KnitIndex.get_parents now returns tuples. (Robert Collins)
2869
2870
* Ancient unused ``Repository.text_store`` attribute has been removed.
2871
(Robert Collins)
2872
2873
* The ``bzrlib.pack`` interface has changed to use tuples of bytestrings
2874
rather than just bytestrings, making it easier to represent multiple
2875
element names. As this interface was not used by any internal facilities
2876
since it was introduced in 0.18 no API compatibility is being preserved.
2877
The serialised form of these packs is identical with 0.18 when a single
2878
element tuple is in use. (Robert Collins)
2879
2880
INTERNALS:
2881
2882
* merge now uses ``iter_changes`` to calculate changes, which makes room for
2883
future performance increases. It is also more consistent with other
2884
operations that perform comparisons, and reduces reliance on
2885
Tree.inventory. (Aaron Bentley)
2886
2887
* Refactoring of transport classes connected to a remote server.
2888
ConnectedTransport is a new class that serves as a basis for all
2889
transports needing to connect to a remote server. transport.split_url
2890
have been deprecated, use the static method on the object instead. URL
2891
tests have been refactored too.
2892
(Vincent Ladeuil)
2893
2894
* Better connection sharing for ConnectedTransport objects.
2895
transport.get_transport() now accepts a 'possible_transports' parameter.
2896
If a newly requested transport can share a connection with one of the
2897
list, it will.
2898
(Vincent Ladeuil)
2899
2900
* Most functions now accept ``bzrlib.revision.NULL_REVISION`` to indicate
2901
the null revision, and consider using ``None`` for this purpose
2902
deprecated. (Aaron Bentley)
2903
2904
* New ``index`` module with abstract index functionality. This will be
2905
used during the planned changes in the repository layer. Currently the
2906
index layer provides a graph aware immutable index, a builder for the
2907
same index type to allow creating them, and finally a composer for
2908
such indices to allow the use of many indices in a single query. The
2909
index performance is not optimised, however the API is stable to allow
2910
development on top of the index. (Robert Collins)
2911
2912
* ``bzrlib.dirstate.cmp_by_dirs`` can be used to compare two paths by
2913
their directory sections. This is equivalent to comparing
2914
``path.split('/')``, only without having to split the paths.
2915
This has a Pyrex implementation available.
2916
(John Arbash Meinel)
2917
2918
* New transport decorator 'unlistable+' which disables the list_dir
2919
functionality for testing.
2920
2921
* Deprecated ``change_entry`` in transform.py. (Ian Clatworthy)
2922
2923
* RevisionTree.get_weave is now deprecated. Tree.plan_merge is now used
2924
for performing annotate-merge. (Aaron Bentley)
2925
2926
* New EmailMessage class to create email messages. (Adeodato Simó)
2927
2928
* Unused functions on the private interface KnitIndex have been removed.
2929
(Robert Collins)
2930
2931
* New ``knit.KnitGraphIndex`` which provides a ``KnitIndex`` layered on top
2932
of a ``index.GraphIndex``. (Robert Collins)
2933
2934
* New ``knit.KnitVersionedFile.iter_parents`` method that allows querying
2935
the parents of many knit nodes at once, reducing round trips to the
2936
underlying index. (Robert Collins)
2937
2938
* Graph now has an is_ancestor method, various bits use it.
2939
(Aaron Bentley)
2940
2941
* The ``-Dhpss`` flag now includes timing information. As well as
2942
logging when a new connection is opened. (John Arbash Meinel)
2943
2944
* ``bzrlib.pack.ContainerWriter`` now returns an offset, length tuple to
2945
callers when inserting data, allowing generation of readv style access
2946
during pack creation, without needing a separate pass across the output
2947
pack to gather such details. (Robert Collins)
2948
2949
* ``bzrlib.pack.make_readv_reader`` allows readv based access to pack
2950
files that are stored on a transport. (Robert Collins)
2951
2952
* New ``Repository.has_same_location`` method that reports if two
2953
repository objects refer to the same repository (although with some risk
2954
of false negatives). (Andrew Bennetts)
2955
2956
* InterTree.compare now passes require_versioned on correctly.
2957
(Marius Kruger)
2958
2959
* New methods on Repository - ``start_write_group``,
2960
``commit_write_group``, ``abort_write_group`` and ``is_in_write_group`` -
2961
which provide a clean hook point for transactional Repositories - ones
2962
where all the data for a fetch or commit needs to be made atomically
2963
available in one step. This allows the write lock to remain while making
2964
a series of data insertions. (e.g. data conversion). (Robert Collins)
2965
2966
* In ``bzrlib.knit`` the internal interface has been altered to use
2967
3-tuples (index, pos, length) rather than two-tuples (pos, length) to
2968
describe where data in a knit is, allowing knits to be split into
2969
many files. (Robert Collins)
2970
2971
* ``bzrlib.knit._KnitData`` split into cache management and physical access
2972
with two access classes - ``_PackAccess`` and ``_KnitAccess`` defined.
2973
The former provides access into a .pack file, and the latter provides the
2974
current production repository form of .knit files. (Robert Collins)
2975
2976
TESTING:
2977
2978
* Remove selftest ``--clean-output``, ``--numbered-dirs`` and
2979
``--keep-output`` options, which are obsolete now that tests
2980
are done within directories in $TMPDIR. (Martin Pool)
2981
2982
* The SSH_AUTH_SOCK environment variable is now reset to avoid
2983
interaction with any running ssh agents. (Jelmer Vernooij, #125955)
2984
2985
* run_bzr_subprocess handles parameters the same way as run_bzr:
2986
either a string or a list of strings should be passed as the first
2987
parameter. Varargs-style parameters are deprecated. (Aaron Bentley)

3002
3003
* Do not suppress pipe errors, etc. in non-display commands
3004
(Alexander Belchenko, #87178)
3005
3006
* Display a useful error message when the user requests to annotate
3007
a file that is not present in the specified revision.
3008
(James Westby, #122656)
3009
3010
* Commands that use status flags now have a reference to 'help
3011

3012
3013
* Work around python-2.4.1 inhability to correctly parse the

* Fix handling of http code 400: Bad Request When issuing too many ranges.
3025
(Vincent Ladeuil, #115209)

3029
(Vincent Ladeuil, #120678)
3030
3031

3032
individually and as part of revision ranges.
3033
(Kent Gibson, #4663)
3034
3035
* Don't leave cruft behind when failing to acquire a lockdir.

(Martin Pool, #109169)
3037
3038
* Don't use the '-f' strace option during tests.
3039
(Vincent Ladeuil, #102019).
3040
3041
* Warn when setting ``push_location`` to a value that will be masked by
3042
locations.conf. (Aaron Bentley, #122286)
3043
3044
* Fix commit ordering in corner case (Aaron Bentley, #94975)
3045
3046
* Make annotate behave in a non-ASCII world (Adeodato Simó).
3047
3048
IMPROVEMENTS:
3049
3050
* The --lsprof-file option now dumps a text rendering of the profiling
3051
information if the filename ends in ".txt". It will also convert the
3052
profiling information to a format suitable for KCacheGrind if the
3053
output filename ends in ".callgrind". Fixes to the lsprofcalltree
3054
conversion process by Jean Paul Calderone and Itamar were also merged.
3055
See http://ddaa.net/blog/python/lsprof-calltree. (Ian Clatworthy)
3056
3057
* ``info`` now defaults to non-verbose mode, displaying only paths and
3058
abbreviated format info. ``info -v`` displays all the information
3059
formerly displayed by ``info``. (Aaron Bentley, Adeodato Simó)
3060
3061
* ``bzr missing`` now has better option names ``--this`` and ``--other``.
3062
(Elliot Murphy)
3063
3064
* The internal ``weave-list`` command has become ``versionedfile-list``,
3065
and now lists knits as well as weaves. (Aaron Bentley)
3066
3067
* Automatic merge base selection uses a faster algorithm that chooses
3068
better bases in criss-cross merge situations (Aaron Bentley)
3069
3070
* Progress reporting in ``commit`` has been improved. The various logical
3071
stages are now reported on as follows, namely:
3072
3073
* Collecting changes [Entry x/y] - Stage n/m
3074
* Saving data locally - Stage n/m
3075
* Uploading data to master branch - Stage n/m
3076
* Updating the working tree - Stage n/m
3077
* Running post commit hooks - Stage n/m
3078
3079
If there is no master branch, the 3rd stage is omitted and the total
3080
number of stages is adjusted accordingly.
3081
3082
Each hook that is run after commit is listed with a name (as hooks
3083
can be slow it is useful feedback).
3084
(Ian Clatworthy, Robert Collins)
3085
3086
* Various operations that are now faster due to avoiding unnecessary
3087
topological sorts. (Aaron Bentley)
3088
3089
* Make merge directives robust against broken bundles. (Aaron Bentley)
3090
3091
* The lsprof filename note is emitted via trace.note(), not standard
3092
output. (Aaron Bentley)
3093
3094
* ``bzrlib`` now exports explicit API compatibility information to assist
3095
library users and plugins. See the ``bzrlib.api`` module for details.
3096
(Robert Collins)
3097
3098
* Remove unnecessary lock probes when acquiring a lockdir.
3099
(Martin Pool)
3100
3101
* ``bzr --version`` now shows the location of the bzr log file, which
3102
is especially useful on Windows. (Martin Pool)
3103
3104
* -D now supports hooks to get debug tracing of hooks (though its currently
3105
minimal in nature). (Robert Collins)
3106
3107
* Long log format reports deltas on merge revisions.
3108
(John Arbash Meinel, Kent Gibson)
3109
3110
* Make initial push over ftp more resilient. (John Arbash Meinel)
3111
3112
* Print a summary of changes for update just like pull does.
3113
(Daniel Watkins, #113990)
3114
3115
* Add a -Dhpss option to trace smart protocol requests and responses.
3116
(Andrew Bennetts)
3117
3118
LIBRARY API BREAKS:
3119
3120
* Testing cleanups -
3121
``bzrlib.repository.RepositoryTestProviderAdapter`` has been moved
3122
to ``bzrlib.tests.repository_implementations``;
3123
``bzrlib.repository.InterRepositoryTestProviderAdapter`` has been moved
3124
to ``bzrlib.tests.interrepository_implementations``;
3125
``bzrlib.transport.TransportTestProviderAdapter`` has moved to
3126
``bzrlib.tests.test_transport_implementations``.
3127
``bzrlib.branch.BranchTestProviderAdapter`` has moved to
3128
``bzrlib.tests.branch_implementations``.
3129
``bzrlib.bzrdir.BzrDirTestProviderAdapter`` has moved to
3130
``bzrlib.tests.bzrdir_implementations``.
3131
``bzrlib.versionedfile.InterVersionedFileTestProviderAdapter`` has moved
3132
to ``bzrlib.tests.interversionedfile_implementations``.
3133
``bzrlib.store.revision.RevisionStoreTestProviderAdapter`` has moved to
3134
``bzrlib.tests.revisionstore_implementations``.
3135
``bzrlib.workingtree.WorkingTreeTestProviderAdapter`` has moved to
3136
``bzrlib.tests.workingtree_implementations``.
3137
These changes are an API break in the testing infrastructure only.
3138
(Robert Collins)
3139
3140
* Relocate TestCaseWithRepository to be more central. (Robert Collins)
3141
3142
* ``bzrlib.add.smart_add_tree`` will no longer perform glob expansion on
3143
win32. Callers of the function should do this and use the new
3144
``MutableTree.smart_add`` method instead. (Robert Collins)
3145
3146
* ``bzrlib.add.glob_expand_for_win32`` is now
3147
``bzrlib.win32utils.glob_expand``. (Robert Collins)
3148
3149
* ``bzrlib.add.FastPath`` is now private and moved to
3150
``bzrlib.mutabletree._FastPath``. (Robert Collins, Martin Pool)
3151
3152
* ``LockDir.wait`` removed. (Martin Pool)
3153
3154
* The ``SmartServer`` hooks API has changed for the ``server_started`` and
3155
``server_stopped`` hooks. The first parameter is now an iterable of
3156
backing URLs rather than a single URL. This is to reflect that many
3157
URLs may map to the external URL of the server. E.g. the server interally
3158
may have a chrooted URL but also the local file:// URL will be at the
3159
same location. (Robert Collins)
3160
3161
INTERNALS:
3162
3163
* New SMTPConnection class to unify email handling. (Adeodato Simó)
3164
3165
* Fix documentation of BzrError. (Adeodato Simó)
3166
3167
* Make BzrBadParameter an internal error. (Adeodato Simó)
3168
3169
* Remove use of 'assert False' to raise an exception unconditionally.
3170
(Martin Pool)
3171
3172
* Give a cleaner error when failing to decode knit index entry.
3173
(Martin Pool)
3174
3175
* TreeConfig would mistakenly search the top level when asked for options
3176
from a section. It now respects the section argument and only
3177
searches the specified section. (James Westby)
3178
3179
* Improve ``make api-docs`` output. (John Arbash Meinel)
3180
3181
* Use os.lstat rather than os.stat for osutils.make_readonly and
3182
osutils.make_writeable. This makes the difftools plugin more
3183
robust when dangling symlinks are found. (Elliot Murphy)
3184
3185
* New ``-Dlock`` option to log (to ~/.bzr.log) information on when
3186
lockdirs are taken or released. (Martin Pool)
3187
3188
* ``bzrlib`` Hooks are now nameable using ``Hooks.name_hook``. This
3189
allows a nicer UI when hooks are running as the current hook can
3190
be displayed. (Robert Collins)
3191
3192
* ``Transport.get`` has had its interface made more clear for ease of use.
3193
Retrieval of a directory must now fail with either 'PathError' at open
3194
time, or raise 'ReadError' on a read. (Robert Collins)
3195
3196
* New method ``_maybe_expand_globs`` on the ``Command`` class for
3197
dealing with unexpanded glob lists - e.g. on the win32 platform. This
3198
was moved from ``bzrlib.add._prepare_file_list``. (Robert Collins)
3199
3200
* ``bzrlib.add.smart_add`` and ``bzrlib.add.smart_add_tree`` are now
3201
deprecated in favour of ``MutableTree.smart_add``. (Robert Collins,
3202
Martin Pool)
3203
3204
* New method ``external_url`` on Transport for obtaining the url to
3205
hand to external processes. (Robert Collins)
3206
3207
* Teach windows installers to build pyrex/C extensions.
3208
(Alexander Belchenko)
3209
3210
TESTING:
3211
3212
* Removed the ``--keep-output`` option from selftest and clean up test
3213
directories as they're used. This reduces the IO load from
3214
running the test suite and cuts the time by about half.
3215
(Andrew Bennetts, Martin Pool)
3216
3217
* Add scenarios as a public attribute on the TestAdapter classes to allow
3218
modification of the generated scenarios before adaption and easier
3219
testing. (Robert Collins)
3220
3221
* New testing support class ``TestScenarioApplier`` which multiplies
3222
out a single teste by a list of supplied scenarios. (RobertCollins)
3223
3224
* Setting ``repository_to_test_repository`` on a repository_implementations
3225
test will cause it to be called during repository creation, allowing the
3226
testing of repository classes which are not based around the Format
3227
concept. For example a repository adapter can be tested in this manner,
3228
by altering the repository scenarios to include a scenario that sets this
3229
attribute during the test parameterisation in
3230
``bzrlib.tests.repository.repository_implementations``. (Robert Collins)
3231
3232
* Clean up many of the APIs for blackbox testing of Bazaar. The standard
3233
interface is now self.run_bzr. The command to run can be passed as
3234
either a list of parameters, a string containing the command line, or
3235
(deprecated) varargs parameters. (Martin Pool)
3236
3237
* The base TestCase now isolates tests from -D parameters by clearing
3238
``debug.debug_flags`` and restores it afterwards. (Robert Collins)
3239
3240
* Add a relpath parameter to get_transport methods in test framework to
3241
avoid useless cloning.

3260
NOTES WHEN UPGRADING:
3261
3262
* The kind() and is_executable() APIs on the WorkingTree interface no
3263
longer implicitly (read) locks and unlocks the tree. This *might*
3264
impact some plug-ins and tools using this part of the API. If you find
3265
an issue that may be caused by this change, please let us know,
3266
particularly the plug-in/tool maintainer. If encountered, the API
3267
fix is to surround kind() and is_executable() calls with lock_read()
3268
and unlock() like so::
3269
3270
work_tree.lock_read()
3271
try:
3272
kind = work_tree.kind(...)
3273
finally:
3274
work_tree.unlock()
3275
3276
INTERNALS:
3277
* Rework of LogFormatter API to provide beginning/end of log hooks and to
3278
encapsulate the details of the revision to be logged in a LogRevision
3279
object.
3280
In long log formats, merge revision ids are only shown when --show-ids
3281
is specified, and are labelled "revision-id:", as per mainline
3282
revisions, instead of "merged:". (Kent Gibson)
3283
3284
* New ``BranchBuilder`` API which allows the construction of particular
3285
histories quickly. Useful for testing and potentially other applications
3286
too. (Robert Collins)
3287
3288
IMPROVEMENTS:
3289
3290
* There are two new help topics, working-trees and repositories that
3291
attempt to explain these concepts. (James Westby, John Arbash Meinel,
3292
Aaron Bentley)
3293
3294
* Added ``bzr log --limit`` to report a limited number of revisions.
3295
(Kent Gibson, #3659)
3296
3297
* Revert does not try to preserve file contents that were originally
3298
produced by reverting to a historical revision. (Aaron Bentley)
3299
3300
* ``bzr log --short`` now includes ``[merge]`` for revisions which
3301
have more than one parent. This is a small improvement to help
3302
understanding what changes have occurred
3303
(John Arbash Meinel, #83887)
3304
3305
* TreeTransform avoids many renames when contructing large trees,
3306
improving speed. 3.25x speedups have been observed for construction of
3307
kernel-sized-trees, and checkouts are 1.28x faster. (Aaron Bentley)
3308
3309
* Commit on large trees is now faster. In my environment, a commit of
3310
a small change to the Mozilla tree (55k files) has dropped from
3311
66 seconds to 32 seconds. For a small tree of 600 files, commit of a
3312
small change is 33% faster. (Ian Clatworthy)
3313
3314
* New --create-prefix option to bzr init, like for push. (Daniel Watkins,
3315
#56322)
3316
3317
BUGFIXES:
3318
3319
* ``bzr push`` should only connect to the remote location one time.
3320
We have been connecting 3 times because we forget to pass around
3321
the Transport object. This adds ``BzrDir.clone_on_transport()``, so
3322
that we can pass in the Transport that we already have.
3323
(John Arbash Meinel, #75721)
3324
3325
* ``DirState.set_state_from_inventory()`` needs to properly order
3326
based on split paths, not just string paths.
3327
(John Arbash Meinel, #115947)
3328
3329
* Let TestUIFactoy encode the password prompt with its own stdout.
3330
(Vincent Ladeuil, #110204)
3331
3332
* pycurl should take use the range header that takes the range hint
3333
into account.
3334
(Vincent Ladeuil, #112719)
3335
3336
* WorkingTree4.get_file_sha1 no longer raises an exception when invoked
3337
on a missing file. (Aaron Bentley, #118186)
3338
3339
* WorkingTree.remove works correctly with tree references, and when pwd is
3340
not the tree root. (Aaron Bentley)
3341
3342
* Merge no longer fails when a file is renamed in one tree and deleted
3343
in the other. (Aaron Bentley, #110279)
3344
3345
* ``revision-info`` now accepts dotted revnos, doesn't require a tree,
3346
and defaults to the last revision (Matthew Fuller, #90048)
3347
3348
* Tests no longer fail when BZR_REMOTE_PATH is set in the environment.
3349
(Daniel Watkins, #111958)
3350
3351
* ``bzr branch -r revid:foo`` can be used to branch any revision in
3352
your repository. (Previously Branch6 only supported revisions in your
3353
mainline). (John Arbash Meinel, #115343)

3355
bzr 0.16 2007-05-07
3356
--------------------
3357
3358
BUGFIXES:
3359
3360
* Handle when you have 2 directories with similar names, but one has a
3361
hyphen. (``'abc'`` versus ``'abc-2'``). The WT4._iter_changes
3362
iterator was using direct comparison and ``'abc/a'`` sorts after
3363
``'abc-2'``, but ``('abc', 'a')`` sorts before ``('abc-2',)``.
3364
(John Arbash Meinel, #111227)
3365
3366
* Handle when someone renames a file on disk without telling bzr.
3367
Previously we would report the first file as missing, but not show
3368
the new unknown file. (John Arbash Meinel, #111288)
3369
3370
* Avoid error when running hooks after pulling into or pushing from
3371
a branch bound to a smartserver branch. (Martin Pool, #111968)
3372
3373
IMPROVEMENTS:
3374
3375
* Move developer documentation to doc/developers/. This reduces clutter in
3376
the root of the source tree and allows HACKING to be split into multiple
3377
files. (Robert Collins, Alexander Belchenko)
3378
3379
* Clean up the ``WorkingTree4._iter_changes()`` internal loops as well as
3380
``DirState.update_entry()``. This optimizes the core logic for ``bzr
3381
diff`` and ``bzr status`` significantly improving the speed of
3382
both. (John Arbash Meinel)
3383
3384
bzr 0.16rc2 2007-04-30
3385
-----------------------
3386
3387
BUGFIXES:
3388
3389
* Handle the case when you delete a file, and then rename another file
3390
on top of it. Also handle the case of ``bzr rm --keep foo``. ``bzr
3391
status`` should show the removed file and an unknown file in its
3392
place. (John Arbash Meinel, #109993)
3393
3394
* Bundles properly read and write revision properties that have an
3395
empty value. And when the value is not ASCII.
3396
(John Arbash Meinel, #109613)
3397
3398
* Fix the bzr commit message to be in text mode.
3399
(Alexander Belchenko, #110901)
3400
3401
* Also handle when you rename a file and create a file where it used
3402
to be. (John Arbash Meinel, #110256)
3403
3404
* ``WorkingTree4._iter_changes`` should not descend into unversioned
3405
directories. (John Arbash Meinel, #110399)
3406
3407
bzr 0.16rc1 2007-04-26
3408
-----------------------
3409
3410
NOTES WHEN UPGRADING:
3411
3412
* ``bzr remove`` and ``bzr rm`` will now remove the working file, if
3413
it could be recovered again.
3414
This has been done for consistency with svn and the unix rm command.
3415
The old ``remove`` behaviour has been retained in the new option
3416
``bzr remove --keep``, which will just stop versioning the file,
3417
but not delete it.
3418
``bzr remove --force`` have been added which will always delete the
3419
files.
3420
``bzr remove`` is also more verbose.
3421
(Marius Kruger, #82602)
3422
3423
IMPROVEMENTS:
3424
3425
* Merge directives can now be supplied as input to `merge` and `pull`,
3426
like bundles can. (Aaron Bentley)
3427
3428
* Sending the SIGQUIT signal to bzr, which can be done on Unix by
3429
pressing Control-Backslash, drops bzr into a debugger. Type ``'c'``
3430
to continue. This can be disabled by setting the environment variable
3431
``BZR_SIGQUIT_PDB=0``. (Martin Pool)
3432
3433
* selftest now supports --list-only to list tests instead of running
3434
them. (Ian Clatworthy)
3435
3436
* selftest now supports --exclude PATTERN (or -x PATTERN) to exclude
3437
tests with names that match that regular expression.
3438
(Ian Clatworthy, #102679)
3439
3440
* selftest now supports --randomize SEED to run tests in a random order.
3441
SEED is typically the value 'now' meaning 'use the current time'.
3442
(Ian Clatworthy, #102686)
3443
3444
* New option ``--fixes`` to commit, which stores bug fixing annotations as
3445
revision properties. Built-in support for Launchpad, Debian, Trac and
3446
Bugzilla bug trackers. (Jonathan Lange, James Henstridge, Robert Collins)
3447
3448
* New API, ``bzrlib.bugtracker.tracker_registry``, for adding support for
3449
other bug trackers to ``fixes``. (Jonathan Lange, James Henstridge,
3450
Robert Collins)
3451
3452
* ``selftest`` has new short options ``-f`` and ``-1``. (Martin
3453
Pool)
3454
3455
* ``bzrlib.tsort.MergeSorter`` optimizations. Change the inner loop
3456
into using local variables instead of going through ``self._var``.
3457
Improves the time to ``merge_sort`` a 10k revision graph by
3458
approximately 40% (~700->400ms). (John Arbash Meinel)
3459
3460
* ``make docs`` now creates a man page at ``man1/bzr.1`` fixing bug 107388.
3461
(Robert Collins)
3462
3463
* ``bzr help`` now provides cross references to other help topics using
3464
the _see_also facility on command classes. Likewise the bzr_man
3465
documentation, and the bzr.1 man page also include this information.
3466
(Robert Collins)
3467
3468
* Tags are now included in logs, that use the long log formatter.
3469
(Erik Bågfors, Alexander Belchenko)
3470
3471
* ``bzr help`` provides a clearer message when a help topic cannot be
3472
found. (Robert Collins, #107656)
3473
3474
* ``bzr help`` now accepts optional prefixes for command help. The help
3475
for all commands can now be found at ``bzr help commands/COMMANDNAME``
3476
as well as ``bzr help COMMANDNAME`` (which only works for commands
3477
where the name is not the same as a more general help topic).
3478
(Robert Collins)
3479
3480
* ``bzr help PLUGINNAME`` will now return the module docstring from the
3481
plugin PLUGINNAME. (Robert Collins, #50408)
3482
3483
* New help topic ``urlspec`` which lists the availables transports.
3484
(Goffredo Baroncelli)
3485
3486
* doc/server.txt updated to document the default bzr:// port
3487
and also update the blurb about the hpss' current status.
3488
(Robert Collins, #107125).
3489
3490
* ``bzr serve`` now listens on interface 0.0.0.0 by default, making it
3491
serve out to the local LAN (and anyone in the world that can reach the
3492
machine running ``bzr serve``. (Robert Collins, #98918)
3493
3494
* A new smart server protocol version has been added. It prefixes requests
3495
and responses with an explicit version identifier so that future protocol
3496
revisions can be dealt with gracefully. (Andrew Bennetts, Robert Collins)
3497
3498
* The bzr protocol version 2 indicates success or failure in every response
3499
without depending on particular commands encoding that consistently,
3500
allowing future client refactorings to be much more robust about error
3501
handling. (Robert Collins, Martin Pool, Andrew Bennetts)
3502
3503
* The smart protocol over HTTP client has been changed to always post to the
3504
same ``.bzr/smart`` URL under the original location when it can. This allows
3505
HTTP servers to only have to pass URLs ending in .bzr/smart to the smart
3506
server handler, and not arbitrary ``.bzr/*/smart`` URLs. (Andrew Bennetts)
3507
3508
* digest authentication is now supported for proxies and HTTP by the urllib
3509
based http implementation. Tested against Apache 2.0.55 and Squid
3510
2.6.5. Basic and digest authentication are handled coherently for HTTP
3511
and proxy: if the user is provided in the url (bzr command line for HTTP,
3512
proxy environment variables for proxies), the password is prompted for
3513
(only once). If the password is provided, it is taken into account. Once
3514
the first authentication is successful, all further authentication
3515
roundtrips are avoided by preventively setting the right authentication
3516
header(s).
3517
(Vincent Ladeuil).
3518
3519
INTERNALS:
3520
3521
* bzrlib API compatability with 0.8 has been dropped, cleaning up some
3522
code paths. (Robert Collins)
3523
3524
* Change the format of chroot urls so that they can be safely manipulated
3525
by generic url utilities without causing the resulting urls to have
3526
escaped the chroot. A side effect of this is that creating a chroot
3527
requires an explicit action using a ChrootServer.
3528
(Robert Collins, Andrew Bennetts)
3529
3530
* Deprecate ``Branch.get_root_id()`` because branches don't have root ids,
3531
rather than fixing bug #96847. (Aaron Bentley)
3532
3533
* ``WorkingTree.apply_inventory_delta`` provides a better alternative to
3534
``WorkingTree._write_inventory``. (Aaron Bentley)
3535
3536
* Convenience method ``TestCase.expectFailure`` ensures that known failures
3537
do not silently pass. (Aaron Bentley)
3538
3539
* ``Transport.local_abspath`` now raises ``NotLocalUrl`` rather than
3540
``TransportNotPossible``. (Martin Pool, Ian Clatworthy)
3541
3542
* New SmartServer hooks facility. There are two initial hooks documented
3543
in ``bzrlib.transport.smart.SmartServerHooks``. The two initial hooks allow
3544
plugins to execute code upon server startup and shutdown.
3545
(Robert Collins).
3546
3547
* SmartServer in standalone mode will now close its listening socket
3548
when it stops, rather than waiting for garbage collection. This primarily
3549
fixes test suite hangs when a test tries to connect to a shutdown server.
3550
It may also help improve behaviour when dealing with a server running
3551
on a specific port (rather than dynamically assigned ports).
3552
(Robert Collins)
3553
3554
* Move most SmartServer code into a new package, bzrlib/smart.
3555
bzrlib/transport/remote.py contains just the Transport classes that used
3556
to be in bzrlib/transport/smart.py. (Andrew Bennetts)
3557
3558
* urllib http implementation avoid roundtrips associated with
3559
401 (and 407) errors once the authentication succeeds.
3560
(Vincent Ladeuil).
3561
3562
* urlib http now supports querying the user for a proxy password if
3563
needed. Realm is shown in the prompt for both HTTP and proxy
3564
authentication when the user is required to type a password.
3565
(Vincent Ladeuil).
3566
3567
* Renamed SmartTransport (and subclasses like SmartTCPTransport) to
3568
RemoteTransport (and subclasses to RemoteTCPTransport, etc). This is more
3569
consistent with its new home in ``bzrlib/transport/remote.py``, and because
3570
it's not really a "smart" transport, just one that does file operations
3571
via remote procedure calls. (Andrew Bennetts)
3572
3573
* The ``lock_write`` method of ``LockableFiles``, ``Repository`` and
3574
``Branch`` now accept a ``token`` keyword argument, so that separate
3575
instances of those objects can share a lock if it has the right token.
3576
(Andrew Bennetts, Robert Collins)
3577
3578
* New method ``get_branch_reference`` on ``BzrDir`` allows the detection of
3579
branch references - which the smart server component needs.
3580
3581
* The Repository API ``make_working_trees`` is now permitted to return
3582
False when ``set_make_working_trees`` is not implemented - previously
3583
an unimplemented ``set_make_working_trees`` implied the result True
3584
from ``make_working_trees``. This has been changed to accomodate the
3585
smart server, where it does not make sense (at this point) to ever
3586
make working trees by default. (Robert Collins)
3587
3588
* Command objects can now declare related help topics by having _see_also
3589
set to a list of related topic. (Robert Collins)
3590
3591
* ``bzrlib.help`` now delegates to the Command class for Command specific
3592
help. (Robert Collins)
3593
3594
* New class ``TransportListRegistry``, derived from the Registry class, which
3595
simplifies tracking the available Transports. (Goffredo Baroncelli)
3596
3597
* New function ``Branch.get_revision_id_to_revno_map`` which will
3598
return a dictionary mapping revision ids to dotted revnos. Since
3599
dotted revnos are defined in the context of the branch tip, it makes
3600
sense to generate them from a ``Branch`` object.
3601
(John Arbash Meinel)
3602
3603
* Fix the 'Unprintable error' message display to use the repr of the
3604
exception that prevented printing the error because the str value
3605
for it is often not useful in debugging (e.g. KeyError('foo') has a
3606
str() of 'foo' but a repr of 'KeyError('foo')' which is much more
3607
useful. (Robert Collins)
3608
3609
* ``urlutils.normalize_url`` now unescapes unreserved characters, such as "~".
3610
(Andrew Bennetts)
3611
3612
BUGFIXES:
3613
3614
* Don't fail bundle selftest if email has 'two' embedded.
3615
(Ian Clatworthy, #98510)
3616
3617
* Remove ``--verbose`` from ``bzr bundle``. It didn't work anyway.
3618
(Robert Widhopf-Fenk, #98591)
3619
3620
* Remove ``--basis`` from the checkout/branch commands - it didn't work
3621
properly and is no longer beneficial.
3622
(Robert Collins, #53675, #43486)
3623
3624
* Don't produce encoding error when adding duplicate files.
3625
(Aaron Bentley)
3626
3627
* Fix ``bzr log <file>`` so it only logs the revisions that changed
3628
the file, and does it faster.
3629
(Kent Gibson, John Arbash Meinel, #51980, #69477)
3630
3631
* Fix ``InterDirstateTre._iter_changes`` to handle when we come across
3632
an empty versioned directory, which now has files in it.
3633
(John Arbash Meinel, #104257)
3634
3635
* Teach ``common_ancestor`` to shortcut when the tip of one branch is
3636
inside the ancestry of the other. Saves a lot of graph processing
3637
(with an ancestry of 16k revisions, ``bzr merge ../already-merged``
3638
changes from 2m10s to 13s). (John Arbash Meinel, #103757)
3639
3640
* Fix ``show_diff_trees`` to handle the case when a file is modified,
3641
and the containing directory is renamed. (The file path is different
3642
in this versus base, but it isn't marked as a rename).
3643
(John Arbash Meinel, #103870)
3644
3645
* FTP now works even when the FTP server does not support atomic rename.
3646
(Aaron Bentley, #89436)
3647
3648
* Correct handling in bundles and merge directives of timezones with
3649
that are not an integer number of hours offset from UTC. Always
3650
represent the epoch time in UTC to avoid problems with formatting
3651
earlier times on win32. (Martin Pool, Alexander Belchenko, John
3652
Arbash Meinel)
3653
3654
* Typo in the help for ``register-branch`` fixed. (Robert Collins, #96770)
3655
3656
* "dirstate" and "dirstate-tags" formats now produce branches compatible
3657
with old versions of bzr. (Aaron Bentley, #107168))
3658
3659
* Handle moving a directory when children have been added, removed,
3660
and renamed. (John Arbash Meinel, #105479)
3661
3662
* Don't preventively use basic authentication for proxy before receiving a
3663
407 error. Otherwise people willing to use other authentication schemes
3664
may expose their password in the clear (or nearly). This add one
3665
roundtrip in case basic authentication should be used, but plug the
3666
security hole.
3667
(Vincent Ladeuil)
3668
3669
* Handle http and proxy digest authentication.
3670
(Vincent Ladeuil, #94034).
3671
3672
TESTING:
3673
3674
* Added ``bzrlib.strace.strace`` which will strace a single callable and
3675
return a StraceResult object which contains just the syscalls involved
3676
in running it. (Robert Collins)
3677
3678
* New test method ``reduceLockdirTimeout`` to drop the default (ui-centric)
3679
default time down to one suitable for tests. (Andrew Bennetts)
3680
3681
* Add new ``vfs_transport_factory`` attribute on tests which provides the
3682
common vfs backing for both the readonly and readwrite transports.
3683
This allows the RemoteObject tests to back onto local disk or memory,
3684
and use the existing ``transport_server`` attribute all tests know about
3685
to be the smart server transport. This in turn allows tests to
3686
differentiate between 'transport to access the branch', and
3687
'transport which is a VFS' - which matters in Remote* tests.
3688
(Robert Collins, Andrew Bennetts)
3689
3690
* The ``make_branch_and_tree`` method for tests will now create a
3691
lightweight checkout for the tree if the ``vfs_transport_factory`` is not
3692
a LocalURLServer. (Robert Collins, Andrew Bennetts)
3693
3694
* Branch implementation tests have been audited to ensure that all urls
3695
passed to Branch APIs use proper urls, except when local-disk paths
3696
are intended. This is so that tests correctly access the test transport
3697
which is often not equivalent to local disk in Remote* tests. As part
3698
of this many tests were adjusted to remove dependencies on local disk
3699
access.
3700
(Robert Collins, Andrew Bennetts)
3701
3702
* Mark bzrlib.tests and bzrlib.tests.TestUtil as providing assertFOO helper
3703
functions by adding a ``__unittest`` global attribute. (Robert Collins,
3704
Andrew Bennetts, Martin Pool, Jonathan Lange)
3705
3706
* Refactored proxy and authentication handling to simplify the
3707
implementation of new auth schemes for both http and proxy.

CHANGES:
3726
3727
* A warning is now displayed when opening working trees in older
3728
formats, to encourage people to upgrade to WorkingTreeFormat4.
3729
(Martin Pool)
3730
3731
IMPROVEMENTS:
3732
3733
* HTTP redirections are now taken into account when a branch (or a
3734
bundle) is accessed for the first time. A message is issued at each
3735
redirection to inform the user. In the past, http redirections were
3736
silently followed for each request which significantly degraded the
3737
performances. The http redirections are not followed anymore by
3738
default, instead a RedirectRequested exception is raised. For bzrlib
3739
users needing to follow http redirections anyway,
3740
``bzrlib.transport.do_catching_redirections`` provide an easy transition
3741
path. (vila)
3742
3743
INTERNALS:
3744
3745
* Added ``ReadLock.temporary_write_lock()`` to allow upgrading an OS read
3746
lock to an OS write lock. Linux can do this without unlocking, Win32
3747
needs to unlock in between. (John Arbash Meinel)
3748
3749
* New parameter ``recommend_upgrade`` to ``BzrDir.open_workingtree``
3750
to silence (when false) warnings about opening old formats.
3751
(Martin Pool)
3752
3753
* Fix minor performance regression with bzr-0.15 on pre-dirstate
3754
trees. (We were reading the working inventory too many times).
3755
(John Arbash Meinel)
3756
3757
* Remove ``Branch.get_transaction()`` in favour of a simple cache of
3758
``revision_history``. Branch subclasses should override
3759
``_gen_revision_history`` rather than ``revision_history`` to make use of
3760
this cache, and call ``_clear_revision_history_cache`` and
3761
``_cache_revision_history`` at appropriate times. (Andrew Bennetts)
3762
3763
BUGFIXES:
3764
3765
* Take ``smtp_server`` from user config into account.
3766
(vila, #92195)
3767
3768
* Restore Unicode filename handling for versioned and unversioned files.
3769
(John Arbash Meinel, #92608)
3770
3771
* Don't fail during ``bzr commit`` if a file is marked removed, and
3772
the containing directory is auto-removed. (John Arbash Meinel, #93681)
3773
3774
* ``bzr status FILENAME`` failed on Windows because of an uncommon
3775
errno. (``ERROR_DIRECTORY == 267 != ENOTDIR``).
3776
(Wouter van Heyst, John Arbash Meinel, #90819)
3777
3778
* ``bzr checkout source`` should create a local branch in the same
3779
format as source. (John Arbash Meinel, #93854)
3780
3781
* ``bzr commit`` with a kind change was failing to update the
3782
last-changed-revision for directories. The
3783
InventoryDirectory._unchanged only looked at the ``parent_id`` and name,
3784
ignoring the fact that the kind could have changed, too.
3785
(John Arbash Meinel, #90111)
3786
3787
* ``bzr mv dir/subdir other`` was incorrectly updating files inside
3788
the directory. So that there was a chance it would break commit,
3789
etc. (John Arbash Meinel, #94037)
3790
3791
* Correctly handles mutiple permanent http redirections.

3795
-----------------------
3796
3797
NOTES WHEN UPGRADING:
3798
3799
* Release 0.15rc2 of bzr changes the ``bzr init-repo`` command to
3800
default to ``--trees`` instead of ``--no-trees``.
3801
Existing shared repositories are not affected.
3802
3803
IMPROVEMENTS:
3804
3805
* New ``merge-directive`` command to generate machine- and human-readable
3806
merge requests. (Aaron Bentley)
3807
3808
* New ``submit:`` revision specifier makes it easy to diff against the
3809
common ancestor with the submit location (Aaron Bentley)
3810
3811
* Added support for Putty's SSH implementation. (Dmitry Vasiliev)
3812
3813
* Added ``bzr status --versioned`` to report only versioned files,
3814
not unknowns. (Kent Gibson)
3815
3816
* Merge now autodetects the correct line-ending style for its conflict
3817
markers. (Aaron Bentley)
3818
3819
INTERNALS:
3820
3821
* Refactored SSH vendor registration into SSHVendorManager class.
3822
(Dmitry Vasiliev)
3823
3824
BUGFIXES:
3825
3826
* New ``--numbered-dirs`` option to ``bzr selftest`` to use
3827
numbered dirs for TestCaseInTempDir. This is default behavior
3828
on Windows. Anyone can force named dirs on Windows
3829
with ``--no-numbered-dirs``. (Alexander Belchenko)
3830
3831
* Fix ``RevisionSpec_revid`` to handle the Unicode strings passed in
3832
from the command line. (Marien Zwart, #90501)
3833
3834
* Fix ``TreeTransform._iter_changes`` when both the source and
3835
destination are missing. (Aaron Bentley, #88842)
3836
3837
* Fix commit of merges with symlinks in dirstate trees.
3838
(Marien Zwart)
3839
3840
* Switch the ``bzr init-repo`` default from --no-trees to --trees.
3841

3844
bzr 0.15rc1 2007-03-07
3845
-----------------------
3846
3847
SURPRISES:
3848
3849
* The default disk format has changed. Please run 'bzr upgrade' in your
3850
working trees to upgrade. This new default is compatible for network
3851
operations, but not for local operations. That is, if you have two
3852
versions of bzr installed locally, after upgrading you can only use the
3853
bzr 0.15 version. This new default does not enable tags or nested-trees
3854
as they are incompatible with bzr versions before 0.15 over the network.
3855
3856
* For users of bzrlib: Two major changes have been made to the working tree
3857
api in bzrlib. The first is that many methods and attributes, including
3858
the inventory attribute, are no longer valid for use until one of
3859
``lock_read``/``lock_write``/``lock_tree_write`` has been called,
3860
and become invalid again after unlock is called. This has been done
3861
to improve performance and correctness as part of the dirstate
3862
development.
3863
(Robert Collins, John A Meinel, Martin Pool, and others).
3864
3865
* For users of bzrlib: The attribute 'tree.inventory' should be considered
3866
readonly. Previously it was possible to directly alter this attribute, or
3867
its contents, and have the tree notice this. This has been made
3868
unsupported - it may work in some tree formats, but in the newer dirstate
3869
format such actions will have no effect and will be ignored, or even
3870
cause assertions. All operations possible can still be carried out by a
3871
combination of the tree API, and the bzrlib.transform API. (Robert
3872
Collins, John A Meinel, Martin Pool, and others).
3873
3874
IMPROVEMENTS:
3875
3876
* Support for OS Windows 98. Also .bzr.log on any windows system
3877
saved in My Documents folder. (Alexander Belchenko)
3878
3879
* ``bzr mv`` enhanced to support already moved files.
3880
In the past the mv command would have failed if the source file doesn't
3881
exist. In this situation ``bzr mv`` would now detect that the file has
3882
already moved and update the repository accordingly, if the target file
3883
does exist.
3884
A new option ``--after`` has been added so that if two files already
3885
exist, you could notify Bazaar that you have moved a (versioned) file
3886
and replaced it with another. Thus in this case ``bzr move --after``
3887
will only update the Bazaar identifier.
3888
(Steffen Eichenberg, Marius Kruger)
3889
3890
* ``ls`` now works on treeless branches and remote branches.
3891
(Aaron Bentley)
3892
3893
* ``bzr help global-options`` describes the global options.
3894
(Aaron Bentley)
3895
3896
* ``bzr pull --overwrite`` will now correctly overwrite checkouts.
3897
(Robert Collins)
3898
3899
* Files are now allowed to change kind (e.g. from file to symlink).
3900
Supported by ``commit``, ``revert`` and ``status``
3901
(Aaron Bentley)
3902
3903
* ``inventory`` and ``unknowns`` hidden in favour of ``ls``
3904
(Aaron Bentley)
3905
3906
* ``bzr help checkouts`` descibes what checkouts are and some possible
3907
uses of them. (James Westby, Aaron Bentley)
3908
3909
* A new ``-d`` option to push, pull and merge overrides the default
3910
directory. (Martin Pool)
3911
3912
* Branch format 6: smaller, and potentially faster than format 5. Supports
3913
``append_history_only`` mode, where the log view and revnos do not change,
3914
except by being added to. Stores policy settings in
3915
".bzr/branch/branch.conf".
3916
3917
* ``append_only`` branches: Format 6 branches may be configured so that log
3918
view and revnos are always consistent. Either create the branch using
3919
"bzr init --append-revisions-only" or edit the config file as descriped
3920
in docs/configuration.txt.
3921
3922
* rebind: Format 6 branches retain the last-used bind location, so if you
3923
"bzr unbind", you can "bzr bind" to bind to the previously-selected
3924
bind location.
3925
3926
* Builtin tags support, created and deleted by the ``tag`` command and
3927
stored in the branch. Tags can be accessed with the revisionspec
3928
``-rtag:``, and listed with ``bzr tags``. Tags are not versioned
3929
at present. Tags require a network incompatible upgrade. To perform this
3930
upgrade, run ``bzr upgrade --dirstate-tags`` in your branch and
3931
repositories. (Martin Pool)
3932
3933
* The ``bzr://`` transport now has a well-known port number, 4155,
3934
which it will use by default. (Andrew Bennetts, Martin Pool)
3935
3936
* Bazaar now looks for user-installed plugins before looking for site-wide
3937
plugins. (Jonathan Lange)
3938
3939
* ``bzr resolve`` now detects and marks resolved text conflicts.
3940
(Aaron Bentley)
3941
3942
INTERNALS:
3943
3944
* Internally revision ids and file ids are now passed around as utf-8
3945
bytestrings, rather than treating them as Unicode strings. This has
3946
performance benefits for Knits, since we no longer need to decode the
3947
revision id for each line of content, nor for each entry in the index.
3948
This will also help with the future dirstate format.
3949
(John Arbash Meinel)
3950
3951
* Reserved ids (any revision-id ending in a colon) are rejected by
3952
versionedfiles, repositories, branches, and working trees
3953
(Aaron Bentley)
3954
3955
* Minor performance improvement by not creating a ProgressBar for
3956
every KnitIndex we create. (about 90ms for a bzr.dev tree)
3957
(John Arbash Meinel)
3958
3959
* New easier to use Branch hooks facility. There are five initial hooks,
3960
all documented in bzrlib.branch.BranchHooks.__init__ - ``'set_rh'``,
3961
``'post_push'``, ``'post_pull'``, ``'post_commit'``,
3962
``'post_uncommit'``. These hooks fire after the matching operation
3963
on a branch has taken place, and were originally added for the
3964
branchrss plugin. (Robert Collins)
3965
3966
* New method ``Branch.push()`` which should be used when pushing from a
3967
branch as it makes performance and policy decisions to match the UI
3968
level command ``push``. (Robert Collins).
3969
3970
* Add a new method ``Tree.revision_tree`` which allows access to cached
3971
trees for arbitrary revisions. This allows the in development dirstate
3972
tree format to provide access to the callers to cached copies of
3973
inventory data which are cheaper to access than inventories from the
3974
repository.
3975
(Robert Collins, Martin Pool)
3976
3977
* New ``Branch.last_revision_info`` method, this is being done to allow
3978
optimization of requests for both the number of revisions and the last
3979
revision of a branch with smartservers and potentially future branch
3980
formats. (Wouter van Heyst, Robert Collins)
3981
3982
* Allow ``'import bzrlib.plugins.NAME'`` to work when the plugin NAME has not
3983
yet been loaded by ``load_plugins()``. This allows plugins to depend on each
3984
other for code reuse without requiring users to perform file-renaming
3985
gymnastics. (Robert Collins)
3986
3987
* New Repository method ``'gather_stats'`` for statistic data collection.
3988
This is expected to grow to cover a number of related uses mainly
3989
related to bzr info. (Robert Collins)
3990
3991
* Log formatters are now managed with a registry.
3992
``log.register_formatter`` continues to work, but callers accessing
3993
the FORMATTERS dictionary directly will not.
3994
3995
* Allow a start message to be passed to the ``edit_commit_message``
3996
function. This will be placed in the message offered to the user
3997
for editing above the separator. It allows a template commit message
3998
to be used more easily. (James Westby)
3999
4000
* ``GPGStrategy.sign()`` will now raise ``BzrBadParameterUnicode`` if
4001
you pass a Unicode string rather than an 8-bit string. Callers need
4002
to be updated to encode first. (John Arbash Meinel)
4003
4004
* Branch.push, pull, merge now return Result objects with information
4005
about what happened, rather than a scattering of various methods. These
4006
are also passed to the post hooks. (Martin Pool)
4007
4008
* File formats and architecture is in place for managing a forest of trees
4009
in bzr, and splitting up existing trees into smaller subtrees, and
4010
finally joining trees to make a larger tree. This is the first iteration
4011
of this support, and the user-facing aspects still require substantial
4012
work. If you wish to experiment with it, use ``bzr upgrade
4013
--dirstate-with-subtree`` in your working trees and repositories.
4014
You can use the hidden commands ``split`` and ``join`` and to create
4015
and manipulate nested trees, but please consider using the nested-trees
4016
branch, which contains substantial UI improvements, instead.
4017
http://code.aaronbentley.com/bzr/bzrrepo/nested-trees/
4018
(Aaron Bentley, Martin Pool, Robert Collins).
4019
4020
BUGFIXES:
4021
4022
* ``bzr annotate`` now uses dotted revnos from the viewpoint of the
4023
branch, rather than the last changed revision of the file.
4024
(John Arbash Meinel, #82158)
4025
4026
* Lock operations no longer hang if they encounter a permission problem.
4027
(Aaron Bentley)
4028
4029
* ``bzr push`` can resume a push that was canceled before it finished.
4030
Also, it can push even if the target directory exists if you supply
4031
the ``--use-existing-dir`` flag.
4032
(John Arbash Meinel, #30576, #45504)
4033
4034
* Fix http proxy authentication when user and an optional
4035
password appears in the ``*_proxy`` vars. (Vincent Ladeuil,
4036
#83954).
4037
4038
* ``bzr log branch/file`` works for local treeless branches
4039
(Aaron Bentley, #84247)
4040
4041
* Fix problem with UNC paths on Windows 98. (Alexander Belchenko, #84728)
4042
4043
* Searching location of CA bundle for PyCurl in env variable
4044
(``CURL_CA_BUNDLE``), and on win32 along the PATH.
4045
(Alexander Belchenko, #82086)
4046
4047
* ``bzr init`` works with unicode argument LOCATION.
4048
(Alexander Belchenko, #85599)
4049
4050
* Raise ``DependencyNotPresent`` if pycurl do not support https.
4051
(Vincent Ladeuil, #85305)
4052
4053
* Invalid proxy env variables should not cause a traceback.
4054
(Vincent Ladeuil, #87765)
4055
4056
* Ignore patterns normalised to use '/' path separator.
4057
(Kent Gibson, #86451)
4058
4059
* bzr rocks. It sure does! Fix case. (Vincent Ladeuil, #78026)
4060
4061
* Fix bzrtools shelve command for removed lines beginning with "--"
4062
(Johan Dahlberg, #75577)
4063
4064
TESTING:
4065
4066
* New ``--first`` option to ``bzr selftest`` to run specified tests
4067
before the rest of the suite. (Martin Pool)

4073
IMPROVEMENTS:
4074
4075
* ``bzr help global-options`` describes the global options. (Aaron Bentley)
4076
4077
BUG FIXES:
4078
4079
* Skip documentation generation tests if the tools to do so are not
4080
available. Fixes running selftest for installled copies of bzr.
4081
(John Arbash Meinel, #80330)
4082
4083
* Fix the code that discovers whether bzr is being run from it's
4084
working tree to handle the case when it isn't but the directory
4085
it is in is below a repository. (James Westby, #77306)

4088
bzr 0.14rc1 2007-01-16
4089
-----------------------
4090
4091
IMPROVEMENTS:
4092
4093
* New connection: ``bzr+http://`` which supports tunnelling the smart
4094
protocol over an HTTP connection. If writing is enabled on the bzr
4095
server, then you can write over the http connection.
4096
(Andrew Bennetts, John Arbash Meinel)
4097
4098
* Aliases now support quotation marks, so they can contain whitespace
4099
(Marius Kruger)
4100
4101
* PyCurlTransport now use a single curl object. By specifying explicitly
4102
the 'Range' header, we avoid the need to use two different curl objects
4103
(and two connections to the same server). (Vincent Ladeuil)
4104
4105
* ``bzr commit`` does not prompt for a message until it is very likely to
4106
succeed. (Aaron Bentley)
4107
4108
* ``bzr conflicts`` now takes --text to list pathnames of text conflicts
4109
(Aaron Bentley)
4110
4111
* Fix ``iter_lines_added_or_present_in_versions`` to use a set instead
4112
of a list while checking if a revision id was requested. Takes 10s
4113
off of the ``fileids_affected_by_revision_ids`` time, which is 10s
4114
of the ``bzr branch`` time. Also improve ``fileids_...`` time by
4115
filtering lines with a regex rather than multiple ``str.find()``
4116
calls. (saves another 300ms) (John Arbash Meinel)
4117
4118
* Policy can be set for each configuration key. This allows keys to be
4119
inherited properly across configuration entries. For example, this
4120
should enable you to do::
4121
4122
[/home/user/project]
4123
push_location = sftp://host/srv/project/
4124
push_location:policy = appendpath
4125
4126
And then a branch like ``/home/user/project/mybranch`` should get an
4127
automatic push location of ``sftp://host/srv/project/mybranch``.
4128
(James Henstridge)
4129
4130
* Added ``bzr status --short`` to make status report svn style flags
4131
for each file. For example::
4132
4133
$ bzr status --short
4134
A foo
4135
A bar
4136
D baz
4137
? wooley
4138
4139
* 'bzr selftest --clean-output' allows easily clean temporary tests
4140
directories without running tests. (Alexander Belchenko)
4141
4142
* ``bzr help hidden-commands`` lists all hidden commands. (Aaron Bentley)
4143
4144
* ``bzr merge`` now has an option ``--pull`` to fall back to pull if
4145
local is fully merged into remote. (Jan Hudec)
4146
4147
* ``bzr help formats`` describes available directory formats. (Aaron Bentley)
4148
4149
INTERNALS:
4150
4151
* A few tweaks directly to ``fileids_affected_by_revision_ids`` to
4152
help speed up processing, as well allowing to extract unannotated
4153
lines. Between the two ``fileids_affected_by_revision_ids`` is
4154
improved by approx 10%. (John Arbash Meinel)
4155
4156
* Change Revision serialization to only write out millisecond
4157
resolution. Rather than expecting floating point serialization to
4158
preserve more resolution than we need. (Henri Weichers, Martin Pool)
4159
4160
* Test suite ends cleanly on Windows. (Vincent Ladeuil)
4161
4162
* When ``encoding_type`` attribute of class Command is equal to 'exact',
4163
force sys.stdout to be a binary stream on Windows, and therefore
4164
keep exact line-endings (without LF -> CRLF conversion).
4165
(Alexander Belchenko)
4166
4167
* Single-letter short options are no longer globally declared. (Martin
4168
Pool)
4169
4170
* Before using detected user/terminal encoding bzr should check
4171
that Python has corresponding codec. (Alexander Belchenko)
4172
4173
* Formats for end-user selection are provided via a FormatRegistry (Aaron Bentley)
4174
4175
BUG FIXES:
4176
4177
* ``bzr missing --verbose`` was showing adds/removals in the wrong
4178
direction. (John Arbash Meinel)
4179
4180
* ``bzr annotate`` now defaults to showing dotted revnos for merged
4181
revisions. It cuts them off at a depth of 12 characters, but you can
4182
supply ``--long`` to see the full number. You can also use
4183
``--show-ids`` to display the original revision ids, rather than
4184
revision numbers and committer names. (John Arbash Meinel, #75637)
4185
4186
* bzr now supports Win32 UNC path (e.g. ``\HOST\path``.
4187
(Alexander Belchenko, #57869)
4188
4189
* Win32-specific: output of cat, bundle and diff commands don't mangle
4190
line-endings (Alexander Belchenko, #55276)
4191
4192
* Replace broken fnmatch based ignore pattern matching with custom pattern
4193
matcher.
4194
(Kent Gibson, Jan Hudec #57637)
4195
4196
* pycurl and urllib can detect short reads at different places. Update
4197
the test suite to test more cases. Also detect http error code 416
4198
which was raised for that specific bug. Also enhance the urllib
4199
robustness by detecting invalid ranges (and pycurl's one by detecting
4200
short reads during the initial GET). (Vincent Ladeuil, #73948)
4201
4202
* The urllib connection sharing interacts badly with urllib2
4203
proxy setting (the connections didn't go thru the proxy
4204
anymore). Defining a proper ProxyHandler solves the
4205
problem. (Vincent Ladeuil, #74759)
4206
4207
* Use urlutils to generate relative URLs, not osutils
4208
(Aaron Bentley, #76229)
4209
4210
* ``bzr status`` in a readonly directory should work without giving
4211
lots of errors. (John Arbash Meinel, #76299)
4212
4213
* Mention the revisionspec topic for the revision option help.
4214
(Wouter van Heyst, #31663)
4215
4216
* Allow plugins import from zip archives.

4228
IMPROVEMENTS:
4229
4230
* New command ``bzr remove-tree`` allows the removal of the working
4231
tree from a branch.
4232
(Daniel Silverstone)
4233
4234
* urllib uses shared keep-alive connections, so http
4235
operations are substantially faster.
4236
(Vincent Ladeuil, #53654)
4237
4238
* ``bzr export`` allows an optional branch parameter, to export a bzr
4239
tree from some other url. For example:
4240
``bzr export bzr.tar.gz http://bazaar-vcs.org/bzr/bzr.dev``
4241
(Daniel Silverstone)
4242
4243
* Added ``bzr help topics`` to the bzr help system. This gives a
4244
location for general information, outside of a specific command.
4245
This includes updates for ``bzr help revisionspec`` the first topic
4246
included. (Goffredo Baroncelli, John Arbash Meinel, #42714)
4247
4248
* WSGI-compatible HTTP smart server. See ``doc/http_smart_server.txt``.
4249
(Andrew Bennetts)
4250
4251
* Knit files will now cache full texts only when the size of the
4252
deltas is as large as the size of the fulltext. (Or after 200
4253
deltas, whichever comes first). This has the most benefit on large
4254
files with small changes, such as the inventory for a large project.
4255
(eg For a project with 2500 files, and 7500 revisions, it changes
4256
the size of inventory.knit from 11MB to 5.4MB) (John Arbash Meinel)
4257
4258
INTERNALS:
4259
4260
* New -D option given before the command line turns on debugging output
4261
for particular areas. -Derror shows tracebacks on all errors.
4262
(Martin Pool)
4263
4264
* Clean up ``bzr selftest --benchmark bundle`` to correct an import,
4265
and remove benchmarks that take longer than 10min to run.
4266
(John Arbash Meinel)
4267
4268
* Use ``time.time()`` instead of ``time.clock()`` to decide on
4269
progress throttling. Because ``time.clock()`` is actually CPU time,
4270
so over a high-latency connection, too many updates get throttled.
4271
(John Arbash Meinel)
4272
4273
* ``MemoryTransport.list_dir()`` would strip the first character for
4274
files or directories in root directory. (John Arbash Meinel)
4275
4276
* New method ``get_branch_reference`` on 'BzrDir' allows the detection of
4277
branch references - which the smart server component needs.
4278
4279
* New ``ChrootTransportDecorator``, accessible via the ``chroot+`` url
4280
prefix. It disallows any access to locations above a set URL. (Andrew
4281
Bennetts)
4282
4283
BUG FIXES:
4284
4285
* Now ``_KnitIndex`` properly decode revision ids when loading index data.
4286
And optimize the knit index parsing code.
4287
(Dmitry Vasiliev, John Arbash Meinel)
4288
4289
* ``bzrlib/bzrdir.py`` was directly referencing ``bzrlib.workingtree``,
4290
without importing it. This prevented ``bzr upgrade`` from working
4291
unless a plugin already imported ``bzrlib.workingtree``
4292
(John Arbash Meinel, #70716)
4293
4294
* Suppress the traceback on invalid URLs (Vincent Ladeuil, #70803).
4295
4296
* Give nicer error message when an http server returns a 403
4297
error code. (Vincent Ladeuil, #57644).
4298
4299
* When a multi-range http GET request fails, try a single
4300
range one. If it fails too, forget about ranges. Remember that until
4301
the death of the transport and propagates that to the clones.
4302
(Vincent Ladeuil, #62276, #62029).
4303
4304
* Handles user/passwords supplied in url from command
4305
line (for the urllib implementation). Don't request already
4306
known passwords (Vincent Ladeuil, #42383, #44647, #48527)
4307
4308
* ``_KnitIndex.add_versions()`` dictionary compresses revision ids as they
4309
are added. This fixes bug where fetching remote revisions records
4310
them as full references rather than integers.
4311
(John Arbash Meinel, #64789)
4312
4313
* ``bzr ignore`` strips trailing slashes in patterns.
4314
Also ``bzr ignore`` rejects absolute paths. (Kent Gibson, #4559)
4315
4316
* ``bzr ignore`` takes multiple arguments. (Cheuksan Edward Wang, #29488)
4317
4318
* mv correctly handles paths that traverse symlinks.
4319
(Aaron Bentley, #66964)
4320
4321
* Give nicer looking error messages when failing to connect over ssh.
4322
(John Arbash Meinel, #49172)
4323
4324
* Pushing to a remote branch does not currently update the remote working
4325
tree. After a remote push, ``bzr status`` and ``bzr diff`` on the remote
4326
machine now show that the working tree is out of date.
4327
(Cheuksan Edward Wang #48136)
4328
4329
* Use patiencediff instead of difflib for determining deltas to insert
4330
into knits. This avoids the O(N^3) behavior of difflib. Patience
4331
diff should be O(N^2). (Cheuksan Edward Wang, #65714)
4332
4333
* Running ``bzr log`` on nonexistent file gives an error instead of the
4334
entire log history. (Cheuksan Edward Wang #50793)
4335
4336
* ``bzr cat`` can look up contents of removed or renamed files. If the
4337
pathname is ambiguous, i.e. the files in the old and new trees have
4338
different id's, the default is the file in the new tree. The user can
4339
use "--name-from-revision" to select the file in the old tree.
4340
(Cheuksan Edward Wang, #30190)
4341
4342
TESTING:
4343
4344
* TestingHTTPRequestHandler really handles the Range header
4345
(previously it was ignoring it and returning the whole file,).
4346

bzr 0.12 2006-10-30
4348
--------------------
4349
4350
INTERNALS:
4351
4352
* Clean up ``bzr selftest --benchmark bundle`` to correct an import,
4353
and remove benchmarks that take longer than 10min to run.
4354
(John Arbash Meinel)
4355
4356
bzr 0.12rc1 2006-10-23
4357
-----------------------
4358
4359
IMPROVEMENTS:
4360
4361
* ``bzr log`` now shows dotted-decimal revision numbers for all revisions,
4362
rather than just showing a decimal revision number for revisions on the
4363
mainline. These revision numbers are not yet accepted as input into bzr
4364
commands such as log, diff etc. (Robert Collins)
4365
4366
* revisions can now be specified using dotted-decimal revision numbers.
4367
For instance, ``bzr diff -r 1.2.1..1.2.3``. (Robert Collins)
4368
4369
* ``bzr help commands`` output is now shorter (Aaron Bentley)
4370
4371
* ``bzr`` now uses lazy importing to reduce the startup time. This has
4372
a moderate effect on lots of actions, especially ones that have
4373
little to do. For example ``bzr rocks`` time is down to 116ms from
4374
283ms. (John Arbash Meinel)
4375
4376
* New Registry class to provide name-to-object registry-like support,
4377
for example for schemes where plugins can register new classes to
4378
do certain tasks (e.g. log formatters). Also provides lazy registration
4379
to allow modules to be loaded on request.
4380
(John Arbash Meinel, Adeodato Simó)
4381
4382
API INCOMPATABILITY:
4383
4384
* LogFormatter subclasses show now expect the 'revno' parameter to
4385
show() to be a string rather than an int. (Robert Collins)
4386
4387
INTERNALS:
4388
4389
* ``TestCase.run_bzr``, ``run_bzr_captured``, and ``run_bzr_subprocess``
4390
can take a ``working_dir='foo'`` parameter, which will change directory
4391
for the command. (John Arbash Meinel)
4392
4393
* ``bzrlib.lazy_regex.lazy_compile`` can be used to create a proxy
4394
around a regex, which defers compilation until first use.
4395
(John Arbash Meinel)
4396
4397
* ``TestCase.run_bzr_subprocess`` defaults to supplying the
4398
``--no-plugins`` parameter to ensure test reproducability, and avoid
4399
problems with system-wide installed plugins. (John Arbash Meinel)
4400
4401
* Unique tree root ids are now supported. Newly created trees still
4402
use the common root id for compatibility with bzr versions before 0.12.
4403
(Aaron Bentley)
4404
4405
* ``WorkingTree.set_root_id(None)`` is now deprecated. Please
4406
pass in ``inventory.ROOT_ID`` if you want the default root id value.
4407
(Robert Collins, John Arbash Meinel)
4408
4409
* New method ``WorkingTree.flush()`` which will write the current memory
4410
inventory out to disk. At the same time, ``read_working_inventory`` will
4411
no longer trash the current tree inventory if it has been modified within
4412
the current lock, and the tree will now ``flush()`` automatically on
4413
``unlock()``. ``WorkingTree.set_root_id()`` has been updated to take
4414
advantage of this functionality. (Robert Collins, John Arbash Meinel)
4415
4416
* ``bzrlib.tsort.merge_sorted`` now accepts ``generate_revnos``. This
4417
parameter will cause it to add another column to its output, which
4418
contains the dotted-decimal revno for each revision, as a tuple.
4419
(Robert Collins)
4420
4421
* ``LogFormatter.show_merge`` is deprecated in favour of
4422
``LogFormatter.show_merge_revno``. (Robert Collins)
4423
4424
BUG FIXES:
4425
4426
* Avoid circular imports by creating a deprecated function for
4427
``bzrlib.tree.RevisionTree``. Callers should have been using
4428
``bzrlib.revisontree.RevisionTree`` anyway. (John Arbash Meinel,
4429
#63360, #66349)
4430
4431
* Don't use ``socket.MSG_WAITALL`` as it doesn't exist on all
4432
platforms. (Martin Pool, #66356)
4433
4434
* Don't require ``Content-Type`` in range responses. Assume they are a
4435
single range if ``Content-Type`` does not exist.
4436
(John Arbash Meinel, #62473)
4437
4438
* bzr branch/pull no longer complain about progress bar cleanup when
4439
interrupted during fetch. (Aaron Bentley, #54000)
4440
4441
* ``WorkingTree.set_parent_trees()`` uses the trees to directly write
4442
the basis inventory, rather than going through the repository. This
4443
allows us to have 1 inventory read, and 2 inventory writes when
4444
committing a new tree. (John Arbash Meinel)
4445
4446
* When reverting, files that are not locally modified that do not exist
4447
in the target are deleted, not just unversioned (Aaron Bentley)
4448
4449
* When trying to acquire a lock, don't fail immediately. Instead, try
4450
a few times (up to 1 hour) before timing out. Also, report why the
4451
lock is unavailable (John Arbash Meinel, #43521, #49556)
4452
4453
* Leave HttpTransportBase daughter classes decides how they
4454
implement cloning. (Vincent Ladeuil, #61606)
4455
4456
* diff3 does not indicate conflicts on clean merge. (Aaron Bentley)
4457
4458
* If a commit fails, the commit message is stored in a file at the root of
4459
the tree for later commit. (Cheuksan Edward Wang, Stefan Metzmacher,
4460
#32054)
4461
4462
TESTING:
4463
4464
* New test base class TestCaseWithMemoryTransport offers memory-only
4465
testing facilities: its not suitable for tests that need to mutate disk
4466
state, but most tests should not need that and should be converted to
4467
TestCaseWithMemoryTransport. (Robert Collins)
4468
4469
* ``TestCase.make_branch_and_memory_tree`` now takes a format
4470
option to set the BzrDir, Repository and Branch formats of the
4471
created objects. (Robert Collins, John Arbash Meinel)
4472
4473
bzr 0.11 2006-10-02

4483
* Test suite hangs on windows fixed. (Andrew Bennets, Alexander Belchenko).

4488
bzr 0.11rc1 2006-09-25
4489
-----------------------
4490
4491
IMPROVEMENTS:
4492
4493
* Knit files now wait to create their contents until the first data is
4494
added. The old code used to create an empty .knit and a .kndx with just
4495
the header. However, this caused a lot of extra round trips over sftp.
4496
This can change the time for ``bzr push`` to create a new remote branch
4497
from 160s down to 100s. This also affects ``bzr commit`` performance when
4498
adding new files, ``bzr commit`` on a new kernel-like tree drops from 50s
4499
down to 40s (John Arbash Meinel, #44692)
4500
4501
* When an entire subtree has been deleted, commit will now report that
4502
just the top of the subtree has been deleted, rather than reporting
4503
all the individual items. (Robert Collins)
4504
4505
* Commit performs one less XML parse. (Robert Collins)
4506
4507
* ``bzr checkout`` now operates on readonly branches as well
4508
as readwrite branches. This fixes bug #39542. (Robert Collins)
4509
4510
* ``bzr bind`` no longer synchronises history with the master branch.
4511
Binding should be followed by an update or push to synchronise the
4512
two branches. This is closely related to the fix for bug #39542.
4513
(Robert Collins)
4514
4515
* ``bzrlib.lazy_import.lazy_import`` function to create on-demand
4516
objects. This allows all imports to stay at the global scope, but
4517
modules will not actually be imported if they are not used.
4518
(John Arbash Meinel)
4519
4520
* Support ``bzr://`` and ``bzr+ssh://`` urls to work with the new RPC-based
4521
transport which will be used with the upcoming high-performance smart
4522
server. The new command ``bzr serve`` will invoke bzr in server mode,
4523
which processes these requests. (Andrew Bennetts, Robert Collins, Martin
4524
Pool)
4525
4526
* New command ``bzr version-info`` which can be used to get a summary
4527
of the current state of the tree. This is especially useful as part
4528
of a build commands. See ``doc/version_info.txt`` for more information
4529
(John Arbash Meinel)
4530
4531
BUG FIXES:
4532
4533
* ``'bzr inventory [FILE...]'`` allows restricting the file list to a
4534
specific set of files. (John Arbash Meinel, #3631)
4535
4536
* Don't abort when annotating empty files (John Arbash Meinel, #56814)
4537
4538
* Add ``Stanza.to_unicode()`` which can be passed to another Stanza
4539
when nesting stanzas. Also, add ``read_stanza_unicode`` to handle when
4540
reading a nested Stanza. (John Arbash Meinel)
4541
4542
* Transform._set_mode() needs to stat the right file.
4543
(John Arbash Meinel, #56549)
4544
4545
* Raise WeaveFormatError rather than StopIteration when trying to read
4546
an empty Weave file. (John Arbash Meinel, #46871)
4547
4548
* Don't access e.code for generic URLErrors, only HTTPErrors have .code.
4549
(Vincent Ladeuil, #59835)
4550
4551
* Handle boundary="" lines properly to allow access through a Squid proxy.
4552
(John Arbash Meinel, #57723)
4553
4554
* revert now removes newly-added directories (Aaron Bentley, #54172)
4555
4556
* ``bzr upgrade sftp://`` shouldn't fail to upgrade v6 branches if there
4557
isn't a working tree. (David Allouche, #40679)
4558
4559
* Give nicer error messages when a user supplies an invalid --revision
4560
parameter. (John Arbash Meinel, #55420)
4561
4562
* Handle when LANG is not recognized by python. Emit a warning, but
4563
just revert to using 'ascii'. (John Arbash Meinel, #35392)
4564
4565
* Don't use ``preexec_fn`` on win32, as it is not supported by subprocess.
4566
(John Arbash Meinel)
4567
4568
* Skip specific tests when the dependencies aren't met. This includes
4569
some ``setup.py`` tests when ``python-dev`` is not available, and
4570
some tests that depend on paramiko. (John Arbash Meinel, Mattheiu Moy)
4571
4572
* Fallback to Paramiko properly, if no ``ssh`` executable exists on
4573
the system. (Andrew Bennetts, John Arbash Meinel)
4574
4575
* ``Branch.bind(other_branch)`` no longer takes a write lock on the
4576
other branch, and will not push or pull between the two branches.
4577
API users will need to perform a push or pull or update operation if they
4578
require branch synchronisation to take place. (Robert Collins, #47344)
4579
4580
* When creating a tarball or zipfile export, export unicode names as utf-8
4581
paths. This may not work perfectly on all platforms, but has the best
4582
chance of working in the common case. (John Arbash Meinel, #56816)
4583
4584
* When committing, only files that exist in working tree or basis tree
4585
may be specified (Aaron Bentley, #50793)
4586
4587
PORTABILITY:
4588
4589
* Fixes to run on Python 2.5 (Brian M. Carlson, Martin Pool, Marien Zwart)
4590
4591
INTERNALS:
4592
4593
* TestCaseInTempDir now creates a separate directory for HOME, rather
4594
than having HOME set to the same location as the working directory.

* ``run_bzr_subprocess()`` can take an optional ``env_changes={}`` parameter,
4598
which will update os.environ inside the spawned child. It also can
4599
take a ``universal_newlines=True``, which helps when checking the output
4600
of the command. (John Arbash Meinel)
4601
4602
* Refactor SFTP vendors to allow easier re-use when ssh is used.
4603
(Andrew Bennetts)
4604
4605
* ``Transport.list_dir()`` and ``Transport.iter_files_recursive()`` should always
4606
return urlescaped paths. This is now tested (there were bugs in a few
4607
of the transports) (Andrew Bennetts, David Allouche, John Arbash Meinel)
4608
4609
* New utility function ``symbol_versioning.deprecation_string``. Returns the
4610
formatted string for a callable, deprecation format pair. (Robert Collins)
4611
4612
* New TestCase helper applyDeprecated. This allows you to call a callable
4613
which is deprecated without it spewing to the screen, just by supplying
4614
the deprecation format string issued for it. (Robert Collins)
4615
4616
* Transport.append and Transport.put have been deprecated in favor of
4617
``.append_bytes``, ``.append_file``, ``.put_bytes``, and
4618
``.put_file``. This removes the ambiguity in what type of object the
4619
functions take. ``Transport.non_atomic_put_{bytes,file}`` has also
4620
been added. Which works similarly to ``Transport.append()`` except for
4621
SFTP, it doesn't have a round trip when opening the file. Also, it
4622
provides functionality for creating a parent directory when trying
4623
to create a file, rather than raise NoSuchFile and forcing the
4624
caller to repeat their request.
4625
(John Arbash Meinel)
4626
4627
* WorkingTree has a new api ``unversion`` which allow the unversioning of
4628
entries by their file id. (Robert Collins)
4629
4630
* ``WorkingTree.pending_merges`` is deprecated. Please use the
4631
``get_parent_ids`` (introduced in 0.10) method instead. (Robert Collins)
4632
4633
* WorkingTree has a new ``lock_tree_write`` method which locks the branch for
4634
read rather than write. This is appropriate for actions which only need
4635
the branch data for reference rather than mutation. A new decorator
4636
``needs_tree_write_lock`` is provided in the workingtree module. Like the
4637
``needs_read_lock`` and ``needs_write_lock`` decorators this allows static
4638
declaration of the locking requirements of a function to ensure that
4639
a lock is taken out for casual scripts. (Robert Collins, #54107)
4640
4641
* All WorkingTree methods which write to the tree, but not to the branch
4642
have been converted to use ``needs_tree_write_lock`` rather than
4643
``needs_write_lock``. Also converted is the revert, conflicts and tree
4644
transform modules. This provides a modest performance improvement on
4645
metadir style trees, due to the reduce lock-acquisition, and a more
4646
significant performance improvement on lightweight checkouts from
4647
remote branches, where trivial operations used to pay a significant
4648
penalty. It also provides the basis for allowing readonly checkouts.
4649
(Robert Collins)
4650
4651
* Special case importing the standard library 'copy' module. This shaves
4652
off 40ms of startup time, while retaining compatibility. See:
4653
``bzrlib/inspect_for_copy.py`` for more details. (John Arbash Meinel)
4654
4655
* WorkingTree has a new parent class MutableTree which represents the
4656
specialisations of Tree which are able to be altered. (Robert Collins)
4657
4658
* New methods mkdir and ``put_file_bytes_non_atomic`` on MutableTree that
4659
mutate the tree and its contents. (Robert Collins)
4660
4661
* Transport behaviour at the root of the URL is now defined and tested.
4662
(Andrew Bennetts, Robert Collins)
4663
4664
TESTING:
4665
4666
* New test helper classs MemoryTree. This is typically accessed via
4667
``self.make_branch_and_memory_tree()`` in test cases. (Robert Collins)
4668
4669
* Add ``start_bzr_subprocess`` and ``stop_bzr_subprocess`` to allow test
4670
code to continue running concurrently with a subprocess of bzr.
4671
(Andrew Bennetts, Robert Collins)
4672
4673
* Add a new method ``Transport.get_smart_client()``. This is provided to
4674
allow upgrades to a richer interface than the VFS one provided by
4675
Transport. (Andrew Bennetts, Martin Pool)
4676
4677
bzr 0.10 2006-08-29
4678
--------------------
4679
4680
IMPROVEMENTS:
4681
* 'merge' now takes --uncommitted, to apply uncommitted changes from a
4682
tree. (Aaron Bentley)
4683
4684
* 'bzr add --file-ids-from' can be used to specify another path to use
4685
for creating file ids, rather than generating all new ones. Internally,
4686
the 'action' passed to ``smart_add_tree()`` can return ``file_ids`` that
4687
will be used, rather than having bzrlib generate new ones.
4688
(John Arbash Meinel, #55781)
4689
4690
* ``bzr selftest --benchmark`` now allows a ``--cache-dir`` parameter.
4691
This will cache some of the intermediate trees, and decrease the
4692
setup time for benchmark tests. (John Arbash Meinel)
4693
4694
* Inverse forms are provided for all boolean options. For example,
4695
--strict has --no-strict, --no-recurse has --recurse (Aaron Bentley)
4696
4697
* Serialize out Inventories directly, rather than using ElementTree.
4698
Writing out a kernel sized inventory drops from 2s down to ~350ms.
4699
(Robert Collins, John Arbash Meinel)
4700
4701
BUG FIXES:
4702
4703
* Help diffutils 2.8.4 get along with binary tests (Marien Zwart: #57614)
4704
4705
* Change LockDir so that if the lock directory doesn't exist when
4706
``lock_write()`` is called, an attempt will be made to create it.
4707
(John Arbash Meinel, #56974)
4708
4709
* ``bzr uncommit`` preserves pending merges. (John Arbash Meinel, #57660)
4710
4711
* Active FTP transport now works as intended. (ghozzy, #56472)
4712
4713
* Really fix mutter() so that it won't ever raise a UnicodeError.
4714
It means it is possible for ~/.bzr.log to contain non UTF-8 characters.
4715
But it is a debugging log, not a real user file.
4716
(John Arbash Meinel, #56947, #53880)
4717
4718
* Change Command handle to allow Unicode command and options.
4719
At present we cannot register Unicode command names, so we will get
4720
BzrCommandError('unknown command'), or BzrCommandError('unknown option')
4721
But that is better than a UnicodeError + a traceback.
4722
(John Arbash Meinel, #57123)
4723
4724
* Handle TZ=UTC properly when reading/writing revisions.
4725
(John Arbash Meinel, #55783, #56290)
4726
4727
* Use ``GPG_TTY`` to allow gpg --cl to work with gpg-agent in a pipeline,
4728
(passing text to sign in on stdin). (John Arbash Meinel, #54468)
4729
4730
* External diff does the right thing for binaries even in foreign
4731
languages. (John Arbash Meinel, #56307)
4732
4733
* Testament handles more cases when content is unicode. Specific bug was
4734
in handling of revision properties.
4735
(John Arbash Meinel, Holger Krekel, #54723)
4736
4737
* The bzr selftest was failing on installed versions due to a bug in a new
4738
test helper. (John Arbash Meinel, Robert Collins, #58057)
4739
4740
INTERNALS:
4741
4742
* ``bzrlib.cache_utf8`` contains ``encode()`` and ``decode()`` functions
4743
which can be used to cache the conversion between utf8 and Unicode.
4744
Especially helpful for some of the knit annotation code, which has to
4745
convert revision ids to utf8 to annotate lines in storage.
4746
(John Arbash Meinel)
4747
4748
* ``setup.py`` now searches the filesystem to find all packages which
4749
need to be installed. This should help make the life of packagers
4750
easier. (John Arbash Meinel)
4751
4752
bzr 0.9.0 2006-08-11
4753
---------------------
4754
4755
SURPRISES:
4756
4757
* The hard-coded built-in ignore rules have been removed. There are
4758
now two rulesets which are enforced. A user global one in
4759
``~/.bazaar/ignore`` which will apply to every tree, and the tree
4760
specific one '.bzrignore'.
4761
``~/.bazaar/ignore`` will be created if it does not exist, but with
4762
a more conservative list than the old default.
4763
This fixes bugs with default rules being enforced no matter what.
4764
The old list of ignore rules from bzr is available by
4765
running 'bzr ignore --old-default-rules'.
4766
(Robert Collins, Martin Pool, John Arbash Meinel)
4767
4768
* 'branches.conf' has been changed to 'locations.conf', since it can apply
4769
to more locations than just branch locations.
4770
(Aaron Bentley)
4771
4772
IMPROVEMENTS:
4773
4774
* The revision specifier "revno:" is extended to accept the syntax
4775
revno:N:branch. For example,
4776
revno:42:http://bazaar-vcs.org/bzr/bzr.dev/ means revision 42 in
4777
bzr.dev. (Matthieu Moy)
4778
4779
* Tests updates to ensure proper URL handling, UNICODE support, and
4780
proper printing when the user's terminal encoding cannot display
4781
the path of a file that has been versioned.
4782
``bzr branch`` can take a target URL rather than only a local directory.
4783
``Branch.get_parent()/set_parent()`` now save a relative path if possible,
4784
and normalize the parent based on root, allowing access across
4785
different transports. (John Arbash Meinel, Wouter van Heyst, Martin Pool)
4786
(Malone #48906, #42699, #40675, #5281, #3980, #36363, #43689,
4787
#42517, #42514)
4788
4789
* On Unix, detect terminal width using an ioctl not just $COLUMNS.
4790
Use terminal width for single-line logs from ``bzr log --line`` and
4791
pending-merge display. (Robert Widhopf-Fenk, Gustavo Niemeyer)
4792
(Malone #3507)
4793
4794
* On Windows, detect terminal width using GetConsoleScreenBufferInfo.
4795
(Alexander Belchenko)
4796
4797
* Speedup improvement for 'date:'-revision search. (Guillaume Pinot).
4798
4799
* Show the correct number of revisions pushed when pushing a new branch.
4800
(Robert Collins).
4801
4802
* 'bzr selftest' now shows a progress bar with the number of tests, and
4803
progress made. 'make check' shows tests in -v mode, to be more useful
4804
for the PQM status window. (Robert Collins).
4805
When using a progress bar, failed tests are printed out, rather than
4806
being overwritten by the progress bar until the suite finishes.
4807
(John Arbash Meinel)
4808
4809
* 'bzr selftest --benchmark' will run a new benchmarking selftest.
4810
'bzr selftest --benchmark --lsprof-timed' will use lsprofile to generate
4811
profile data for the individual profiled calls, allowing for fine
4812
grained analysis of performance.
4813
(Robert Collins, Martin Pool).
4814
4815
* 'bzr commit' shows a progress bar. This is useful for commits over sftp
4816
where commit can take an appreciable time. (Robert Collins)
4817
4818
* 'bzr add' is now less verbose in telling you what ignore globs were
4819
matched by files being ignored. Instead it just tells you how many
4820
were ignored (because you might reasonably be expecting none to be
4821
ignored). 'bzr add -v' is unchanged and will report every ignored
4822
file. (Robert Collins).
4823
4824
* ftp now has a test server if medusa is installed. As part of testing,
4825
ftp support has been improved, including support for supplying a
4826
non-standard port. (John Arbash Meinel).
4827
4828
* 'bzr log --line' shows the revision number, and uses only the
4829
first line of the log message (#5162, Alexander Belchenko;
4830
Matthieu Moy)
4831
4832
* 'bzr status' has had the --all option removed. The 'bzr ls' command
4833
should be used to retrieve all versioned files. (Robert Collins)
4834
4835
* 'bzr bundle OTHER/BRANCH' will create a bundle which can be sent
4836
over email, and applied on the other end, while maintaining ancestry.
4837
This bundle can be applied with either 'bzr merge' or 'bzr pull',
4838
the same way you would apply another branch.
4839
(John Arbash Meinel, Aaron Bentley)
4840
4841
* 'bzr whoami' can now be used to set your identity from the command line,
4842
for a branch or globally. (Robey Pointer)
4843
4844
* 'bzr checkout' now aliased to 'bzr co', and 'bzr annotate' to 'bzr ann'.
4845
(Michael Ellerman)
4846
4847
* 'bzr revert DIRECTORY' now reverts the contents of the directory as well.
4848
(Aaron Bentley)
4849
4850
* 'bzr get sftp://foo' gives a better error when paramiko is not present.
4851
Also updates things like 'http+pycurl://' if pycurl is not present.
4852
(John Arbash Meinel) (Malone #47821, #52204)
4853
4854
* New env variable ``BZR_PROGRESS_BAR``, sets the default progress bar type.
4855
Can be set to 'none' or 'dummy' to disable the progress bar, 'dots' or
4856
'tty' to create the respective type. (John Arbash Meinel, #42197, #51107)
4857
4858
* Improve the help text for 'bzr diff' to explain what various options do.
4859
(John Arbash Meinel, #6391)
4860
4861
* 'bzr uncommit -r 10' now uncommits revisions 11.. rather than uncommitting
4862
revision 10. This makes -r10 more in line with what other commands do.
4863
'bzr uncommit' also now saves the pending merges of the revisions that
4864
were removed. So it is safe to uncommit after a merge, fix something,
4865
and commit again. (John Arbash Meinel, #32526, #31426)
4866
4867
* 'bzr init' now also works on remote locations.
4868
(Wouter van Heyst, #48904)
4869
4870
* HTTP support has been updated. When using pycurl we now support
4871
connection keep-alive, which reduces dns requests and round trips.
4872
And for both urllib and pycurl we support multi-range requests,
4873
which decreases the number of round-trips. Performance results for
4874
``bzr branch http://bazaar-vcs.org/bzr/bzr.dev/`` indicate
4875
http branching is now 2-3x faster, and ``bzr pull`` in an existing
4876
branch is as much as 4x faster.
4877
(Michael Ellerman, Johan Rydberg, John Arbash Meinel, #46768)
4878
4879
* Performance improvements for sftp. Branching and pulling are now up to
4880
2x faster. Utilize paramiko.readv() support for async requests if it
4881
is available (paramiko > 1.6) (John Arbash Meinel)
4882
4883
BUG FIXES:
4884
4885
* Fix shadowed definition of TestLocationConfig that caused some
4886
tests not to run.
4887
(Erik Bågfors, Michael Ellerman, Martin Pool, #32587)
4888
4889
* Fix unnecessary requirement of sign-my-commits that it be run from
4890
a working directory. (Martin Pool, Robert Collins)
4891
4892
* 'bzr push location' will only remember the push location if it succeeds
4893
in connecting to the remote location. (John Arbash Meinel, #49742)
4894
4895
* 'bzr revert' no longer toggles the executable bit on win32
4896
(John Arbash Meinel, #45010)
4897
4898
* Handle broken pipe under win32 correctly. (John Arbash Meinel)
4899
4900
* sftp tests now work correctly on win32 if you have a newer paramiko
4901
(John Arbash Meinel)
4902
4903
* Cleanup win32 test suite, and general cleanup of places where
4904
file handles were being held open. (John Arbash Meinel)
4905
4906
* When specifying filenames for 'diff -r x..y', the name of the file in the
4907
working directory can be used, even if its name is different in both x
4908
and y.
4909
4910
* File-ids containing single- or double-quotes are handled correctly by
4911
push. (Aaron Bentley, #52227)
4912
4913
* Normalize unicode filenames to ensure cross-platform consistency.
4914
(John Arbash Meinel, #43689)
4915
4916
* The argument parser can now handle '-' as an argument. Currently
4917
no code interprets it specially (it is mostly handled as a file named
4918
'-'). But plugins, and future operations can use it.
4919
(John Arbash meinel, #50984)
4920
4921
* Bundles can properly read binary files with a plain '\r' in them.
4922
(John Arbash Meinel, #51927)
4923
4924
* Tuning ``iter_entries()`` to be more efficient (John Arbash Meinel, #5444)
4925
4926
* Lots of win32 fixes (the test suite passes again).
4927
(John Arbash Meinel, #50155)
4928
4929
* Handle openbsd returning None for sys.getfilesystemencoding() (#41183)
4930
4931
* Support ftp APPE (append) to allow Knits to be used over ftp (#42592)
4932
4933
* Removals are only committed if they match the filespec (or if there is
4934
no filespec). (#46635, Aaron Bentley)
4935
4936
* smart-add recurses through all supplied directories
4937
(John Arbash Meinel, #52578)
4938
4939
* Make the bundle reader extra lines before and after the bundle text.
4940
This allows you to parse an email with the bundle inline.
4941
(John Arbash Meinel, #49182)
4942
4943
* Change the file id generator to squash a little bit more. Helps when
4944
working with long filenames on windows. (Also helps for unicode filenames
4945
not generating hidden files). (John Arbash Meinel, #43801)
4946
4947
* Restore terminal mode on C-c while reading sftp password. (#48923,
4948
Nicholas Allen, Martin Pool)
4949
4950
* Timestamps are rounded to 1ms, and revision entries can be recreated
4951
exactly. (John Arbash Meinel, Jamie Wilkinson, #40693)
4952
4953
* Branch.base has changed to a URL, but ~/.bazaar/locations.conf should
4954
use local paths, since it is user visible (John Arbash Meinel, #53653)
4955
4956
* ``bzr status foo`` when foo was unversioned used to cause a full delta
4957
to be generated (John Arbash Meinel, #53638)
4958
4959
* When reading revision properties, an empty value should be considered
4960
the empty string, not None (John Arbash Meinel, #47782)
4961
4962
* ``bzr diff --diff-options`` can now handle binary files being changed.
4963
Also, the output is consistent when --diff-options is not supplied.
4964
(John Arbash Meinel, #54651, #52930)
4965
4966
* Use the right suffixes for loading plugins (John Arbash Meinel, #51810)
4967
4968
* Fix ``Branch.get_parent()`` to handle the case when the parent is not
4969
accessible (John Arbash Meinel, #52976)
4970
4971
INTERNALS:
4972
4973
* Combine the ignore rules into a single regex rather than looping over
4974
them to reduce the threshold where N^2 behaviour occurs in operations
4975
like status. (Jan Hudec, Robert Collins).
4976
4977
* Appending to ``bzrlib.DEFAULT_IGNORE`` is now deprecated. Instead, use
4978
one of the add functions in bzrlib.ignores. (John Arbash Meinel)
4979
4980
* 'bzr push' should only push the ancestry of the current revision, not
4981
all of the history in the repository. This is especially important for
4982
shared repositories. (John Arbash Meinel)
4983
4984
* ``bzrlib.delta.compare_trees`` now iterates in alphabetically sorted order,
4985
rather than randomly walking the inventories. (John Arbash Meinel)
4986
4987
* Doctests are now run in temporary directories which are cleaned up when
4988
they finish, rather than using special ScratchDir/ScratchBranch objects.
4989
(Martin Pool)
4990
4991
* Split ``check`` into separate methods on the branch and on the repository,
4992
so that it can be specialized in ways that are useful or efficient for
4993
different formats. (Martin Pool, Robert Collins)
4994
4995
* Deprecate ``Repository.all_revision_ids``; most methods don't really need
4996
the global revision graph but only that part leading up to a particular
4997
revision. (Martin Pool, Robert Collins)
4998
4999
* Add a BzrDirFormat ``control_formats`` list which allows for control formats
5000
that do not use '.bzr' to store their data - i.e. '.svn', '.hg' etc.
5001
(Robert Collins, Jelmer Vernooij).
5002
5003
* ``bzrlib.diff.external_diff`` can be redirected to any file-like object.
5004
Uses subprocess instead of spawnvp.
5005
(James Henstridge, John Arbash Meinel, #4047, #48914)
5006
5007
* New command line option '--profile-imports', which will install a custom
5008
importer to log time to import modules and regex compilation time to
5009
sys.stderr (John Arbash Meinel)
5010
5011
* 'EmptyTree' is now deprecated, please use ``repository.revision_tree(None)``
5012
instead. (Robert Collins)
5013
5014
* "RevisionTree" is now in bzrlib/revisiontree.py. (Robert Collins)

bzr 0.8 2006-05-08
5072
-------------------
5073
5074
NOTES WHEN UPGRADING:
5075
5076
Release 0.8 of bzr introduces a new format for history storage, called
5077
'knit', as an evolution of to the 'weave' format used in 0.7. Local
5078
and remote operations are faster using knits than weaves. Several
5079
operations including 'init', 'init-repo', and 'upgrade' take a
5080
--format option that controls this. Branching from an existing branch
5081
will keep the same format.
5082
5083
It is possible to merge, pull and push between branches of different
5084
formats but this is slower than moving data between homogenous
5085
branches. It is therefore recommended (but not required) that you
5086
upgrade all branches for a project at the same time. Information on
5087
formats is shown by 'bzr info'.
5088
5089
bzr 0.8 now allows creation of 'repositories', which hold the history
5090
of files and revisions for several branches. Previously bzr kept all
5091
the history for a branch within the .bzr directory at the root of the
5092
branch, and this is still the default. To create a repository, use
5093
the new 'bzr init-repo' command. Branches exist as directories under
5094
the repository and contain just a small amount of information
5095
indicating the current revision of the branch.
5096
5097
bzr 0.8 also supports 'checkouts', which are similar to in cvs and
5098
subversion. Checkouts are associated with a branch (optionally in a
5099
repository), which contains all the historical information. The
5100
result is that a checkout can be deleted without losing any
5101
already-committed revisions. A new 'update' command is also available.
5102
5103
Repositories and checkouts are not supported with the 0.7 storage
5104
format. To use them you must upgrad to either knits, or to the
5105
'metaweave' format, which uses weaves but changes the .bzr directory
5106
arrangement.
5107
5108
5109
IMPROVEMENTS:
5110
5111
* Sftp paths can now be relative, or local, according to the lftp
5112
convention. Paths now take the form::
5113
5114
sftp://user:pass@host:port/~/relative/path
5115
or
5116
sftp://user:pass@host:port/absolute/path
5117
5118
* The FTP transport now tries to reconnect after a temporary
5119
failure. ftp put is made atomic. (Matthieu Moy)
5120
5121
* The FTP transport now maintains a pool of connections, and
5122
reuses them to avoid multiple connections to the same host (like
5123
sftp did). (Daniel Silverstone)
5124
5125
* The ``bzr_man.py`` file has been removed. To create the man page now,
5126
use ``./generate_docs.py man``. The new program can also create other files.
5127
Run ``python generate_docs.py --help`` for usage information.
5128
(Hans Ulrich Niedermann & James Blackwell).
5129
5130
* Man Page now gives full help (James Blackwell).
5131
Help also updated to reflect user config now being stored in .bazaar
5132
(Hans Ulrich Niedermann)
5133
5134
* It's now possible to set aliases in bazaar.conf (Erik Bågfors)
5135
5136
* Pull now accepts a --revision argument (Erik Bågfors)
5137
5138
* ``bzr re-sign`` now allows multiple revisions to be supplied on the command
5139
line. You can now use the following command to sign all of your old
5140
commits::
5141
5142
find .bzr/revision-store// -name my@email-* \
5143
| sed 's/.*\/\/..\///' \
5144
| xargs bzr re-sign
5145
5146
* Upgrade can now upgrade over the network. (Robert Collins)
5147
5148
* Two new commands 'bzr checkout' and 'bzr update' allow for CVS/SVN-alike
5149
behaviour. By default they will cache history in the checkout, but
5150
with --lightweight almost all data is kept in the master branch.
5151
(Robert Collins)
5152
5153
* 'revert' unversions newly-versioned files, instead of deleting them.
5154
5155
* 'merge' is more robust. Conflict messages have changed.
5156
5157
* 'merge' and 'revert' no longer clobber existing files that end in '~' or
5158
'.moved'.
5159
5160
* Default log format can be set in configuration and plugins can register
5161
their own formatters. (Erik Bågfors)
5162
5163
* New 'reconcile' command will check branch consistency and repair indexes
5164
that can become out of sync in pre 0.8 formats. (Robert Collins,
5165
Daniel Silverstone)
5166
5167
* New 'bzr init --format' and 'bzr upgrade --format' option to control
5168
what storage format is created or produced. (Robert Collins,
5169
Martin Pool)
5170
5171
* Add parent location to 'bzr info', if there is one. (Olaf Conradi)
5172
5173
* New developer commands 'weave-list' and 'weave-join'. (Martin Pool)
5174
5175
* New 'init-repository' command, plus support for repositories in 'init'
5176
and 'branch' (Aaron Bentley, Erik Bågfors, Robert Collins)
5177
5178
* Improve output of 'info' command. Show all relevant locations related to
5179
working tree, branch and repository. Use kibibytes for binary quantities.
5180
Fix off-by-one error in missing revisions of working tree. Make 'info'
5181
work on branches, repositories and remote locations. Show locations
5182
relative to the shared repository, if applicable. Show locking status
5183
of locations. (Olaf Conradi)
5184
5185
* Diff and merge now safely handle binary files. (Aaron Bentley)
5186
5187
* 'pull' and 'push' now normalise the revision history, so that any two
5188
branches with the same tip revision will have the same output from 'log'.
5189
(Robert Collins)
5190
5191
* 'merge' accepts --remember option to store parent location, like 'push'
5192
and 'pull'. (Olaf Conradi)
5193
5194
* bzr status and diff when files given as arguments do not exist
5195
in the relevant trees. (Martin Pool, #3619)
5196
5197
* Add '.hg' to the default ignore list. (Martin Pool)
5198
5199
* 'knit' is now the default disk format. This improves disk performance and
5200
utilization, increases incremental pull performance, robustness with SFTP
5201
and allows checkouts over SFTP to perform acceptably.
5202
The initial Knit code was contributed by Johan Rydberg based on a
5203
specification by Martin Pool.
5204
(Robert Collins, Aaron Bentley, Johan Rydberg, Martin Pool).
5205
5206
* New tool to generate all-in-one html version of the manual. (Alexander
5207
Belchenko)
5208
5209
* Hitting CTRL-C while doing an SFTP push will no longer cause stale locks
5210
to be left in the SFTP repository. (Robert Collins, Martin Pool).
5211
5212
* New option 'diff --prefix' to control how files are named in diff
5213
output, with shortcuts '-p0' and '-p1' corresponding to the options for
5214
GNU patch. (Alexander Belchenko, Goffredo Baroncelli, Martin Pool)
5215
5216
* Add --revision option to 'annotate' command. (Olaf Conradi)
5217
5218
* If bzr shows an unexpected revision-history after pulling (perhaps due
5219
to a reweave) it can now be corrected by 'bzr reconcile'.
5220
(Robert Collins)
5221
5222
CHANGES:
5223
5224
* Commit is now verbose by default, and shows changed filenames and the
5225
new revision number. (Robert Collins, Martin Pool)
5226
5227
* Unify 'mv', 'move', 'rename'. (Matthew Fuller, #5379)
5228
5229
* 'bzr -h' shows help. (Martin Pool, Ian Bicking, #35940)
5230
5231
* Make 'pull' and 'push' remember location on failure using --remember.
5232
(Olaf Conradi)
5233
5234
* For compatibility, make old format for using weaves inside metadir
5235
available as 'metaweave' format. Rename format 'metadir' to 'default'.
5236
Clean up help for option --format in commands 'init', 'init-repo' and
5237
'upgrade'. (Olaf Conradi)
5238
5239
INTERNALS:
5240
5241
* The internal storage of history, and logical branch identity have now
5242
been split into Branch, and Repository. The common locking and file
5243
management routines are now in bzrlib.lockablefiles.
5244
(Aaron Bentley, Robert Collins, Martin Pool)
5245
5246
* Transports can now raise DependencyNotPresent if they need a library
5247
which is not installed, and then another implementation will be
5248
tried. (Martin Pool)
5249
5250
* Remove obsolete (and no-op) `decode` parameter to `Transport.get`.
5251
(Martin Pool)
5252
5253
* Using Tree Transform for merge, revert, tree-building
5254
5255
* WorkingTree.create, Branch.create, ``WorkingTree.create_standalone``,
5256
Branch.initialize are now deprecated. Please see ``BzrDir.create_*`` for
5257
replacement API's. (Robert Collins)
5258
5259
* New BzrDir class represents the .bzr control directory and manages
5260
formatting issues. (Robert Collins)
5261
5262
* New repository.InterRepository class encapsulates Repository to
5263
Repository actions and allows for clean selection of optimised code
5264
paths. (Robert Collins)
5265
5266
* ``bzrlib.fetch.fetch`` and ``bzrlib.fetch.greedy_fetch`` are now
5267
deprecated, please use ``branch.fetch`` or ``repository.fetch``
5268
depending on your needs. (Robert Collins)
5269
5270
* deprecated methods now have a ``is_deprecated`` flag on them that can
5271
be checked, if you need to determine whether a given callable is
5272
deprecated at runtime. (Robert Collins)
5273
5274
* Progress bars are now nested - see
5275
``bzrlib.ui.ui_factory.nested_progress_bar``.
5276
(Robert Collins, Robey Pointer)
5277
5278
* New API call ``get_format_description()`` for each type of format.
5279
(Olaf Conradi)
5280
5281
* Changed ``branch.set_parent()`` to accept None to remove parent.
5282
(Olaf Conradi)
5283
5284
* Deprecated BzrError AmbiguousBase. (Olaf Conradi)
5285
5286
* WorkingTree.branch is now a read only property. (Robert Collins)
5287
5288
* bzrlib.ui.text.TextUIFactory now accepts a ``bar_type`` parameter which
5289
can be None or a factory that will create a progress bar. This is
5290
useful for testing or for overriding the bzrlib.progress heuristic.
5291
(Robert Collins)
5292
5293
* New API method ``get_physical_lock_status()`` to query locks present on a
5294
transport. (Olaf Conradi)
5295
5296
* Repository.reconcile now takes a thorough keyword parameter to allow
5297
requesting an indepth reconciliation, rather than just a data-loss
5298
check. (Robert Collins)
5299
5300
* ``bzrlib.ui.ui_factory protocol`` now supports ``get_boolean`` to prompt
5301
the user for yes/no style input. (Robert Collins)
5302
5303
TESTING:
5304
5305
* SFTP tests now shortcut the SSH negotiation, reducing test overhead
5306
for testing SFTP protocol support. (Robey Pointer)
5307
5308
* Branch formats are now tested once per implementation (see ``bzrlib.
5309
tests.branch_implementations``. This is analagous to the transport
5310
interface tests, and has been followed up with working tree,
5311
repository and BzrDir tests. (Robert Collins)
5312
5313
* New test base class TestCaseWithTransport provides a transport aware
5314
test environment, useful for testing any transport-interface using
5315
code. The test suite option --transport controls the transport used
5316
by this class (when its not being used as part of implementation
5317
contract testing). (Robert Collins)
5318
5319
* Close logging handler on disabling the test log. This will remove the
5320
handler from the internal list inside python's logging module,
5321
preventing shutdown from closing it twice. (Olaf Conradi)
5322
5323
* Move test case for uncommit to blackbox tests. (Olaf Conradi)
5324
5325
* ``run_bzr`` and ``run_bzr_captured`` now accept a 'stdin="foo"'
5326
parameter which will provide String("foo") to the command as its stdin.
5327
5328
bzr 0.7 2006-01-09
5329
------------------
5330
5331
CHANGES:
5332
5333
* .bzrignore is excluded from exports, on the grounds that it's a bzr
5334
internal-use file and may not be wanted. (Jamie Wilkinson)
5335
5336
* The "bzr directories" command were removed in favor of the new
5337
--kind option to the "bzr inventory" command. To list all
5338
versioned directories, now use "bzr inventory --kind directory".
5339
(Johan Rydberg)
5340
5341
* Under Windows configuration directory is now ``%APPDATA%\bazaar\2.0``
5342
by default. (John Arbash Meinel)
5343
5344
* The parent of Bzr configuration directory can be set by ``BZR_HOME``
5345
environment variable. Now the path for it is searched in ``BZR_HOME``,
5346
then in HOME. Under Windows the order is: ``BZR_HOME``, ``APPDATA``
5347
(usually points to ``C:\Documents and Settings\User Name\Application Data``),
5348
``HOME``. (John Arbash Meinel)
5349
5350
* Plugins with the same name in different directories in the bzr plugin
5351
path are no longer loaded: only the first successfully loaded one is
5352
used. (Robert Collins)
5353
5354
* Use systems' external ssh command to open connections if possible.
5355
This gives better integration with user settings such as ProxyCommand.
5356
(James Henstridge)
5357
5358
* Permissions on files underneath .bzr/ are inherited from the .bzr
5359
directory. So for a shared repository, simply doing 'chmod -R g+w .bzr/'
5360
will mean that future file will be created with group write permissions.
5361
5362
* configure.in and config.guess are no longer in the builtin default
5363
ignore list.
5364
5365
* '.sw[nop]' pattern ignored, to ignore vim swap files for nameless
5366
files. (John Arbash Meinel, Martin Pool)
5367
5368
IMPROVEMENTS:
5369
5370
* "bzr INIT dir" now initializes the specified directory, and creates
5371
it if it does not exist. (John Arbash Meinel)
5372
5373
* New remerge command (Aaron Bentley)
5374
5375
* Better zsh completion script. (Steve Borho)
5376
5377
* 'bzr diff' now returns 1 when there are changes in the working
5378
tree. (Robert Collins)
5379
5380
* 'bzr push' now exists and can push changes to a remote location.
5381
This uses the transport infrastructure, and can store the remote
5382
location in the ~/.bazaar/branches.conf configuration file.
5383
(Robert Collins)
5384
5385
* Test directories are only kept if the test fails and the user requests
5386
that they be kept.
5387
5388
* Tweaks to short log printing
5389
5390
* Added branch nicks, new nick command, printing them in log output.
5391
(Aaron Bentley)
5392
5393
* If ``$BZR_PDB`` is set, pop into the debugger when an uncaught exception
5394
occurs. (Martin Pool)
5395
5396
* Accept 'bzr resolved' (an alias for 'bzr resolve'), as this is
5397
the same as Subversion. (Martin Pool)
5398
5399
* New ftp transport support (on ftplib), for ftp:// and aftp://
5400
URLs. (Daniel Silverstone)
5401
5402
* Commit editor temporary files now start with ``bzr_log.``, to allow
5403
text editors to match the file name and set up appropriate modes or
5404
settings. (Magnus Therning)
5405
5406
* Improved performance when integrating changes from a remote weave.
5407
(Goffredo Baroncelli)
5408
5409
* Sftp will attempt to cache the connection, so it is more likely that
5410
a connection will be reused, rather than requiring multiple password
5411
requests.
5412
5413
* bzr revno now takes an optional argument indicating the branch whose
5414
revno should be printed. (Michael Ellerman)
5415
5416
* bzr cat defaults to printing the last version of the file.
5417
(Matthieu Moy, #3632)
5418
5419
* New global option 'bzr --lsprof COMMAND' runs bzr under the lsprof
5420
profiler. (Denys Duchier)
5421
5422
* Faster commits by reading only the headers of affected weave files.
5423
(Denys Duchier)
5424
5425
* 'bzr add' now takes a --dry-run parameter which shows you what would be
5426
added, but doesn't actually add anything. (Michael Ellerman)
5427
5428
* 'bzr add' now lists how many files were ignored per glob. add --verbose
5429
lists the specific files. (Aaron Bentley)
5430
5431
* 'bzr missing' now supports displaying changes in diverged trees and can
5432
be limited to show what either end of the comparison is missing.
5433
(Aaron Bently, with a little prompting from Daniel Silverstone)
5434
5435
BUG FIXES:
5436
5437
* SFTP can walk up to the root path without index errors. (Robert Collins)
5438
5439
* Fix bugs in running bzr with 'python -O'. (Martin Pool)
5440
5441
* Error when run with -OO
5442
5443

5444
(Martin Pool)
5445
5446
* Handle more cases of pipe errors in display commands
5447
5448
* Change status to 3 for all errors
5449
5450
* Files that are added and unlinked before committing are completely
5451
ignored by diff and status
5452
5453
* Stores with some compressed texts and some uncompressed texts are now
5454
able to be used. (John A Meinel)
5455
5456
* Fix for bzr pull failing sometimes under windows
5457
5458
* Fix for sftp transport under windows when using interactive auth
5459
5460
* Show files which are both renamed and modified as such in 'bzr
5461
status' output. (Daniel Silverstone, #4503)
5462
5463
* Make annotate cope better with revisions committed without a valid
5464
email address. (Marien Zwart)
5465
5466
* Fix representation of tab characters in commit messages.
5467
(Harald Meland)
5468
5469
* List of plugin directories in ``BZR_PLUGIN_PATH`` environment variable is
5470
now parsed properly under Windows. (Alexander Belchenko)
5471
5472
* Show number of revisions pushed/pulled/merged. (Robey Pointer)
5473
5474
* Keep a cached copy of the basis inventory to speed up operations
5475
that need to refer to it. (Johan Rydberg, Martin Pool)
5476
5477
* Fix bugs in bzr status display of non-ascii characters.
5478
(Martin Pool)
5479
5480
* Remove Makefile.in from default ignore list.
5481
(Tollef Fog Heen, Martin Pool, #6413)
5482
5483
* Fix failure in 'bzr added'. (Nathan McCallum, Martin Pool)
5484
5485
TESTING:
5486
5487
* Fix selftest asking for passwords when there are no SFTP keys.
5488
(Robey Pointer, Jelmer Vernooij)
5489
5490
* Fix selftest run with 'python -O'. (Martin Pool)
5491
5492
* Fix HTTP tests under Windows. (John Arbash Meinel)
5493
5494
* Make tests work even if HOME is not set (Aaron Bentley)
5495
5496
* Updated ``build_tree`` to use fixed line-endings for tests which read
5497
the file cotents and compare. Make some tests use this to pass under
5498
Windows. (John Arbash Meinel)
5499
5500
* Skip stat and symlink tests under Windows. (Alexander Belchenko)

5502
* Delay in selftest/testhashcash is now issued under win32 and Cygwin.
5503
(John Arbash Meinel)
5504
5505
* Use terminal width to align verbose test output. (Martin Pool)
5506
5507
* Blackbox tests are maintained within the bzrlib.tests.blackbox directory.
5508
If adding a new test script please add that to
5509
``bzrlib.tests.blackbox.__init__``. (Robert Collins)
5510
5511
* Much better error message if one of the test suites can't be
5512
imported. (Martin Pool)
5513
5514
* Make check now runs the test suite twice - once with the default locale,
5515
and once with all locales forced to C, to expose bugs. This is not
5516
trivially done within python, so for now its only triggered by running
5517
Make check. Integrators and packagers who wish to check for full
5518
platform support should run 'make check' to test the source.
5519
(Robert Collins)
5520
5521
* Tests can now run TestSkipped if they can't execute for any reason.
5522
(Martin Pool) (NB: TestSkipped should only be raised for correctable
5523
reasons - see the wiki spec ImprovingBzrTestSuite).
5524
5525
* Test sftp with relative, absolute-in-homedir and absolute-not-in-homedir
5526
paths for the transport tests. Introduce blackbox remote sftp tests that
5527
test the same permutations. (Robert Collins, Robey Pointer)
5528
5529
* Transport implementation tests are now independent of the local file
5530
system, which allows tests for esoteric transports, and for features
5531
not available in the local file system. They also repeat for variations
5532
on the URL scheme that can introduce issues in the transport code,
5533
see bzrlib.transport.TransportTestProviderAdapter() for this.
5534
(Robert Collins).
5535
5536
* ``TestCase.build_tree`` uses the transport interface to build trees,
5537
pass in a transport parameter to give it an existing connection.
5538
(Robert Collins).
5539
5540
INTERNALS:
5541
5542
* WorkingTree.pull has been split across Branch and WorkingTree,
5543
to allow Branch only pulls. (Robert Collins)
5544
5545
* ``commands.display_command`` now returns the result of the decorated
5546
function. (Robert Collins)
5547
5548
* LocationConfig now has a ``set_user_option(key, value)`` call to save
5549
a setting in its matching location section (a new one is created
5550
if needed). (Robert Collins)
5551
5552
* Branch has two new methods, ``get_push_location`` and
5553
``set_push_location`` to respectively, get and set the push location.
5554
(Robert Collins)
5555
5556
* ``commands.register_command`` now takes an optional flag to signal that
5557
the registrant is planning to decorate an existing command. When
5558
given multiple plugins registering a command is not an error, and
5559
the original command class (whether built in or a plugin based one) is
5560
returned to the caller. There is a new error 'MustUseDecorated' for
5561
signalling when a wrapping command should switch to the original
5562
version. (Robert Collins)
5563
5564
* Some option parsing errors will raise 'BzrOptionError', allowing
5565
granular detection for decorating commands. (Robert Collins).
5566
5567
* ``Branch.read_working_inventory`` has moved to
5568
``WorkingTree.read_working_inventory``. This necessitated changes to
5569
``Branch.get_root_id``, and a move of ``Branch.set_inventory`` to
5570
WorkingTree as well. To make it clear that a WorkingTree cannot always
5571
be obtained ``Branch.working_tree()`` will raise
5572
``errors.NoWorkingTree`` if one cannot be obtained. (Robert Collins)
5573
5574
* All pending merges operations from Branch are now on WorkingTree.
5575
(Robert Collins)
5576
5577
* The follow operations from Branch have moved to WorkingTree::
5578
5579
add()
5580
commit()
5581
move()
5582
rename_one()
5583
unknowns()
5584
5585
(Robert Collins)
5586
5587
* ``bzrlib.add.smart_add_branch`` is now ``smart_add_tree``. (Robert Collins)
5588
5589
* New "rio" serialization format, similar to rfc-822. (Martin Pool)
5590
5591
* Rename selftests to ``bzrlib.tests.test_foo``. (John A Meinel, Martin
5592
Pool)
5593
5594
* ``bzrlib.plugin.all_plugins`` has been changed from an attribute to a
5595
query method. (Robert Collins)
5596
5597
* New options to read only the table-of-contents of a weave.
5598
(Denys Duchier)
5599
5600
* Raise NoSuchFile when someone tries to add a non-existant file.
5601
(Michael Ellerman)
5602
5603
* Simplify handling of DivergedBranches in ``cmd_pull()``.
5604
(Michael Ellerman)
5605
5606
* Branch.controlfile* logic has moved to lockablefiles.LockableFiles, which
5607
is exposed as ``Branch().control_files``. Also this has been altered with the
5608
controlfile pre/suffix replaced by simple method names like 'get' and
5609
'put'. (Aaron Bentley, Robert Collins).
5610
5611
* Deprecated functions and methods can now be marked as such using the
5612
``bzrlib.symbol_versioning`` module. Marked method have their docstring
5613
updated and will issue a DeprecationWarning using the warnings module
5614
when they are used. (Robert Collins)
5615
5616
* ``bzrlib.osutils.safe_unicode`` now exists to provide parameter coercion
5617
for functions that need unicode strings. (Robert Collins)

5622
IMPROVEMENTS:
5623
5624
* pull now takes --verbose to show you what revisions are added or removed
5625
(John A Meinel)
5626
5627
* merge now takes a --show-base option to include the base text in
5628
conflicts.
5629
(Aaron Bentley)
5630
5631
* The config files are now read using ConfigObj, so '=' should be used as
5632
a separator, not ':'.
5633
(Aaron Bentley)
5634
5635
* New 'bzr commit --strict' option refuses to commit if there are
5636
any unknown files in the tree. To commit, make sure all files are
5637
either ignored, added, or deleted. (Michael Ellerman)
5638
5639
* The config directory is now ~/.bazaar, and there is a single file
5640
~/.bazaar/bazaar.conf storing email, editor and other preferences.
5641
(Robert Collins)
5642
5643
* 'bzr add' no longer takes a --verbose option, and a --quiet option
5644
has been added that suppresses all output.
5645
5646
* Improved zsh completion support in contrib/zsh, from Clint
5647
Adams.
5648
5649
* Builtin 'bzr annotate' command, by Martin Pool with improvements from
5650
Goffredo Baroncelli.
5651
5652
* 'bzr check' now accepts -v for verbose reporting, and checks for
5653
ghosts in the branch. (Robert Collins)
5654
5655
* New command 're-sign' which will regenerate the gpg signature for
5656
a revision. (Robert Collins)
5657
5658
* If you set ``check_signatures=require`` for a path in
5659
``~/.bazaar/branches.conf`` then bzr will invoke your
5660
``gpg_signing_command`` (defaults to gpg) and record a digital signature
5661
of your commit. (Robert Collins)
5662
5663
* New sftp transport, based on Paramiko. (Robey Pointer)
5664
5665
* 'bzr pull' now accepts '--clobber' which will discard local changes
5666
and make this branch identical to the source branch. (Robert Collins)
5667
5668
* Just give a quieter warning if a plugin can't be loaded, and
5669
put the details in .bzr.log. (Martin Pool)
5670
5671
* 'bzr branch' will now set the branch-name to the last component of the
5672
output directory, if one was supplied.
5673
5674
* If the option ``post_commit`` is set to one (or more) python function
5675
names (must be in the bzrlib namespace), then they will be invoked
5676
after the commit has completed, with the branch and ``revision_id`` as
5677
parameters. (Robert Collins)
5678
5679
* Merge now has a retcode of 1 when conflicts occur. (Robert Collins)
5680
5681
* --merge-type weave is now supported for file contents. Tree-shape
5682
changes are still three-way based. (Martin Pool, Aaron Bentley)
5683
5684
* 'bzr check' allows the first revision on revision-history to have
5685
parents - something that is expected for cheap checkouts, and occurs
5686
when conversions from baz do not have all history. (Robert Collins).
5687
5688
* 'bzr merge' can now graft unrelated trees together, if your specify
5689
0 as a base. (Aaron Bentley)
5690
5691
* 'bzr commit branch' and 'bzr commit branch/file1 branch/file2' now work
5692
(Aaron Bentley)
5693
5694
* Add '.sconsign*' to default ignore list. (Alexander Belchenko)
5695
5696
* 'bzr merge --reprocess' minimizes conflicts
5697
5698
TESTING:
5699
5700
* The 'bzr selftest --pattern' option for has been removed, now
5701
test specifiers on the command line can be simple strings, or
5702
regexps, or both. (Robert Collins)
5703
5704
* Passing -v to selftest will now show the time each test took to
5705
complete, which will aid in analysing performance regressions and
5706
related questions. (Robert Collins)
5707
5708
* 'bzr selftest' runs all tests, even if one fails, unless '--one'
5709
is given. (Martin Pool)
5710
5711
* There is a new method for TestCaseInTempDir, assertFileEqual, which
5712
will check that a given content is equal to the content of the named
5713
file. (Robert Collins)
5714
5715
* Fix test suite's habit of leaving many temporary log files in $TMPDIR.
5716
(Martin Pool)
5717
5718
INTERNALS:
5719
5720
* New 'testament' command and concept for making gpg-signatures
5721
of revisions that are not tied to a particular internal
5722
representation. (Martin Pool).
5723
5724
* Per-revision properties ('revprops') as key-value associated
5725
strings on each revision created when the revision is committed.
5726
Intended mainly for the use of external tools. (Martin Pool).
5727
5728
* Config options have moved from bzrlib.osutils to bzrlib.config.
5729
(Robert Collins)
5730
5731
* Improved command line option definitions allowing explanations
5732
for individual options, among other things. Contributed by
5733
Magnus Therning.
5734
5735
* Config options have moved from bzrlib.osutils to bzrlib.config.
5736
Configuration is now done via the config.Config interface:
5737
Depending on whether you have a Branch, a Location or no information
5738
available, construct a ``*Config``, and use its ``signature_checking``,
5739
``username`` and ``user_email`` methods. (Robert Collins)
5740
5741
* Plugins are now loaded under bzrlib.plugins, not bzrlib.plugin, and
5742
they are made available for other plugins to use. You should not
5743
import other plugins during the ``__init__`` of your plugin though, as
5744
no ordering is guaranteed, and the plugins directory is not on the
5745
python path. (Robert Collins)
5746
5747
* Branch.relpath has been moved to WorkingTree.relpath. WorkingTree no
5748
no longer takes an inventory, rather it takes an option branch
5749
parameter, and if None is given will open the branch at basedir
5750
implicitly. (Robert Collins)
5751
5752
* Cleaner exception structure and error reporting. Suggested by
5753
Scott James Remnant. (Martin Pool)
5754
5755
* Branch.remove has been moved to WorkingTree, which has also gained
5756
``lock_read``, ``lock_write`` and ``unlock`` methods for convenience.
5757
(Robert Collins)
5758
5759
* Two decorators, ``needs_read_lock`` and ``needs_write_lock`` have been
5760
added to the branch module. Use these to cause a function to run in a
5761
read or write lock respectively. (Robert Collins)
5762
5763
* ``Branch.open_containing`` now returns a tuple (Branch, relative-path),
5764
which allows direct access to the common case of 'get me this file
5765
from its branch'. (Robert Collins)
5766
5767
* Transports can register using ``register_lazy_transport``, and they
5768
will be loaded when first used. (Martin Pool)
5769
5770
* 'pull' has been factored out of the command as ``WorkingTree.pull()``.
5771
A new option to WorkingTree.pull has been added, clobber, which will
5772
ignore diverged history and pull anyway.
5773
(Robert Collins)
5774
5775
* config.Config has a ``get_user_option`` call that accepts an option name.
5776
This will be looked up in branches.conf and bazaar.conf as normal.
5777
It is intended that this be used by plugins to support options -
5778
options of built in programs should have specific methods on the config.
5779
(Robert Collins)
5780
5781
* ``merge.merge_inner`` now has tempdir as an optional parameter.
5782
(Robert Collins)
5783
5784
* Tree.kind is not recorded at the top level of the hierarchy, as it was
5785
missing on EmptyTree, leading to a bug with merge on EmptyTrees.
5786
(Robert Collins)
5787
5788
* ``WorkingTree.__del__`` has been removed, it was non deterministic and not
5789
doing what it was intended to. See ``WorkingTree.__init__`` for a comment
5790
about future directions. (Robert Collins/Martin Pool)
5791
5792
* bzrlib.transport.http has been modified so that only 404 urllib errors
5793
are returned as NoSuchFile. Other exceptions will propogate as normal.
5794
This allows debuging of actual errors. (Robert Collins)
5795
5796
* bzrlib.transport.Transport now accepts *ONLY* url escaped relative paths
5797
to apis like 'put', 'get' and 'has'. This is to provide consistent
5798
behaviour - it operates on url's only. (Robert Collins)
5799
5800
* Transports can register using ``register_lazy_transport``, and they
5801
will be loaded when first used. (Martin Pool)
5802
5803
* ``merge_flex`` no longer calls ``conflict_handler.finalize()``, instead that
5804
is called by ``merge_inner``. This is so that the conflict count can be
5805
retrieved (and potentially manipulated) before returning to the caller
5806
of ``merge_inner``. Likewise 'merge' now returns the conflict count to the
5807
caller. (Robert Collins)
5808
5809
* ``revision.revision_graph`` can handle having only partial history for
5810
a revision - that is no revisions in the graph with no parents.
5811
(Robert Collins).
5812
5813
* New ``builtins.branch_files`` uses the standard ``file_list`` rules to
5814
produce a branch and a list of paths, relative to that branch
5815
(Aaron Bentley)
5816
5817
* New TestCase.addCleanup facility.
5818
5819
* New ``bzrlib.version_info`` tuple (similar to ``sys.version_info``),
5820
which can be used by programs importing bzrlib.
5821
5822
BUG FIXES:
5823
5824
* Better handling of branches in directories with non-ascii names.
5825
(Joel Rosdahl, Panagiotis Papadakos)
5826
5827
* Upgrades of trees with no commits will not fail due to accessing
5828
[-1] in the revision-history. (Andres Salomon)

5831
bzr 0.1.1 2005-10-12
5832
--------------------
5833
5834
BUG FIXES:
5835
5836
* Fix problem in pulling over http from machines that do not
5837
allow directories to be listed.
5838
5839
* Avoid harmless warning about invalid hash cache after
5840
upgrading branch format.
5841
5842
PERFORMANCE:
5843
5844
* Avoid some unnecessary http operations in branch and pull.

bzr 0.1 2005-10-11
5848
------------------
5849
5850
NOTES:
5851
5852
* 'bzr branch' over http initially gives a very high estimate
5853
of completion time but it should fall as the first few
5854
revisions are pulled in. branch is still slow on
5855
high-latency connections.
5856
5857
BUG FIXES:
5858
5859
* bzr-man.py has been updated to work again. Contributed by
5860
Rob Weir.
5861
5862
* Locking is now done with fcntl.lockf which works with NFS
5863
file systems. Contributed by Harald Meland.
5864
5865
* When a merge encounters a file that has been deleted on
5866
one side and modified on the other, the old contents are
5867
written out to foo.BASE and foo.SIDE, where SIDE is this
5868
or OTHER. Contributed by Aaron Bentley.
5869
5870
* Export was choosing incorrect file paths for the content of
5871
the tarball, this has been fixed by Aaron Bentley.
5872
5873
* Commit will no longer commit without a log message, an
5874
error is returned instead. Contributed by Jelmer Vernooij.
5875
5876
* If you commit a specific file in a sub directory, any of its
5877
parent directories that are added but not listed will be
5878
automatically included. Suggested by Michael Ellerman.
5879
5880
* bzr commit and upgrade did not correctly record new revisions
5881
for files with only a change to their executable status.
5882
bzr will correct this when it encounters it. Fixed by
5883
Robert Collins
5884
5885
* HTTP tests now force off the use of ``http_proxy`` for the duration.
5886
Contributed by Gustavo Niemeyer.
5887
5888
* Fix problems in merging weave-based branches that have
5889
different partial views of history.
5890
5891
* Symlink support: working with symlinks when not in the root of a
5892
bzr tree was broken, patch from Scott James Remnant.
5893
5894
IMPROVEMENTS:
5895
5896
* 'branch' now accepts a --basis parameter which will take advantage
5897
of local history when making a new branch. This allows faster
5898
branching of remote branches. Contributed by Aaron Bentley.
5899
5900
* New tree format based on weave files, called version 5.
5901
Existing branches can be upgraded to this format using
5902
'bzr upgrade'.
5903
5904
* Symlinks are now versionable. Initial patch by
5905
Erik Toubro Nielsen, updated to head by Robert Collins.
5906
5907
* Executable bits are tracked on files. Patch from Gustavo
5908
Niemeyer.
5909
5910
* 'bzr status' now shows unknown files inside a selected directory.
5911
Patch from Heikki Paajanen.
5912
5913
* Merge conflicts are recorded in .bzr. Two new commands 'conflicts'
5914
and 'resolve' have needed added, which list and remove those
5915
merge conflicts respectively. A conflicted tree cannot be committed
5916
in. Contributed by Aaron Bentley.
5917
5918
* 'rm' is now an alias for 'remove'.
5919
5920
* Stores now split out their content in a single byte prefixed hash,
5921
dropping the density of files per directory by 256. Contributed by
5922
Gustavo Niemeyer.
5923
5924
* 'bzr diff -r branch:URL' will now perform a diff between two branches.
5925
Contributed by Robert Collins.
5926
5927
* 'bzr log' with the default formatter will show merged revisions,
5928
indented to the right. Initial implementation contributed by Gustavo
5929
Niemeyer, made incremental by Robert Collins.
5930
5931
5932
INTERNALS:
5933
5934
* Test case failures have the exception printed after the log
5935
for your viewing pleasure.
5936
5937
* InventoryEntry is now an abstract base class, use one of the
5938
concrete InventoryDirectory etc classes instead.
5939
5940
* Branch raises an UnsupportedFormatError when it detects a
5941
bzr branch it cannot understand. This allows for precise
5942
handling of such circumstances.
5943
5944
* Remove RevisionReference class; ``Revision.parent_ids`` is now simply a
5945
list of their ids and ``parent_sha1s`` is a list of their corresponding
5946
sha1s (for old branches only at the moment.)
5947
5948
* New method-object style interface for Commit() and Fetch().
5949
5950
* Renamed ``Branch.last_patch()`` to ``Branch.last_revision()``, since
5951
we call them revisions not patches.
5952
5953
* Move ``copy_branch`` to ``bzrlib.clone.copy_branch``. The destination
5954
directory is created if it doesn't exist.
5955
5956
* Inventories now identify the files which were present by
5957
giving the revision *of that file*.
5958
5959
* Inventory and Revision XML contains a version identifier.
5960
This must be consistent with the overall branch version
5961
but allows for more flexibility in future upgrades.
5962
5963
TESTING:
5964
5965
* Removed testsweet module so that tests can be run after
5966
bzr installed by 'bzr selftest'.
5967
5968
* 'bzr selftest' command-line arguments can now be partial ids
5969
of tests to run, e.g. ``bzr selftest test_weave``

* Fixed "branch -r" option.
5978
5979
* Fix remote access to branches containing non-compressed history.
5980
(Robert Collins).
5981
5982
* Better reliability of http server tests. (John Arbash-Meinel)
5983
5984
* Merge graph maximum distance calculation fix. (Aaron Bentley)
5985
5986

* Status now accepts a -r argument to give status between chosen
5992
revisions. Contributed by Heikki Paajanen.
5993
5994
* Revision arguments no longer use +/-/= to control ranges, instead
5995
there is a 'before' namespace, which limits the successive namespace.
5996
For example '$ bzr log -r date:yesterday..before:date:today' will
5997
select everything from yesterday and before today. Contributed by
5998
Robey Pointer
5999
6000
* There is now a bzr.bat file created by distutils when building on
6001
Windows. Contributed by Alexander Belchenko.
6002
6003
INTERNALS:
6004
6005
* Removed uuid() as it was unused.
6006
6007
* Improved 'fetch' code for pulling revisions from one branch into
6008
another (used by pull, merged, etc.)
6009

6011
bzr 0.0.8 2005-09-20
6012
--------------------
6013
6014
IMPROVEMENTS:
6015
6016
* Adding a file whose parent directory is not versioned will
6017
implicitly add the parent, and so on up to the root. This means
6018
you should never need to explictly add a directory, they'll just
6019
get added when you add a file in the directory. Contributed by
6020
Michael Ellerman.
6021
6022
* Ignore ``.DS_Store`` (contains Mac metadata) by default.
6023
(Nir Soffer)
6024
6025
* If you set ``BZR_EDITOR`` in the environment, it is checked in
6026
preference to EDITOR and the config file for the interactive commit
6027
editing program. Related to this is a bugfix where a missing program
6028
set in EDITOR would cause editing to fail, now the fallback program
6029
for the operating system is still tried.
6030
6031
* Files that are not directories/symlinks/regular files will no longer
6032
cause bzr to fail, it will just ignore them by default. You cannot add
6033
them to the tree though - they are not versionable.
6034
6035
6036
INTERNALS:
6037
6038
* Refactor xml packing/unpacking.
6039
6040
BUG FIXES:
6041
6042
* Fixed 'bzr mv' by Ollie Rutherfurd.
6043
6044
* Fixed strange error when trying to access a nonexistent http
6045
branch.
6046
6047
* Make sure that the hashcache gets written out if it can't be
6048
read.
6049
6050
6051
PORTABILITY:
6052
6053
* Various Windows fixes from Ollie Rutherfurd.
6054
6055
* Quieten warnings about locking; patch from Matt Lavin.
6056
6057
6058
bzr-0.0.7 2005-09-02
6059
--------------------
6060
6061
NEW FEATURES:
6062
6063
* ``bzr shell-complete`` command contributed by Clint Adams to
6064
help with intelligent shell completion.
6065
6066
* New expert command ``bzr find-merge-base`` for debugging merges.
6067
6068
6069
ENHANCEMENTS:
6070
6071
* Much better merge support.
6072
6073
* merge3 conflicts are now reported with markers like '<<<<<<<'
6074
(seven characters) which is the same as CVS and pleases things
6075
like emacs smerge.
6076
6077
6078
BUG FIXES:
6079
6080
* ``bzr upgrade`` no longer fails when trying to fix trees that
6081
mention revisions that are not present.
6082
6083
* Fixed bugs in listing plugins from ``bzr plugins``.
6084
6085
* Fix case of $EDITOR containing options for the editor.
6086
6087
* Fix log -r refusing to show the last revision.
6088
(Patch from Goffredo Baroncelli.)
6089
6090
6091
CHANGES:
6092
6093
* ``bzr log --show-ids`` shows the revision ids of all parents.
6094
6095
* Externally provided commands on your $BZRPATH no longer need
6096
to recognize --bzr-usage to work properly, and can just handle
6097
--help themselves.
6098
6099
6100
LIBRARY:
6101
6102
* Changed trace messages to go through the standard logging
6103
framework, so that they can more easily be redirected by
6104
libraries.
6105
6106
6107
6108
bzr-0.0.6 2005-08-18
6109
--------------------
6110
6111
NEW FEATURES:
6112
6113
* Python plugins, automatically loaded from the directories on
6114
``BZR_PLUGIN_PATH`` or ``~/.bzr.conf/plugins`` by default.
6115
6116
* New 'bzr mkdir' command.
6117
6118
* Commit mesage is fetched from an editor if not given on the
6119
command line; patch from Torsten Marek.
6120
6121
* ``bzr log -m FOO`` displays commits whose message matches regexp
6122
FOO.
6123
6124
* ``bzr add`` with no arguments adds everything under the current directory.
6125
6126
* ``bzr mv`` does move or rename depending on its arguments, like
6127
the Unix command.
6128
6129
* ``bzr missing`` command shows a summary of the differences
6130
between two trees. (Merged from John Arbash-Meinel.)
6131
6132
* An email address for commits to a particular tree can be
6133
specified by putting it into .bzr/email within a branch. (Based
6134
on a patch from Heikki Paajanen.)
6135
6136
6137
ENHANCEMENTS:
6138
6139
* Faster working tree operations.
6140
6141
6142
CHANGES:
6143
6144
* 3rd-party modules shipped with bzr are copied within the bzrlib
6145
python package, so that they can be installed by the setup
6146
script without clashing with anything already existing on the
6147
system. (Contributed by Gustavo Niemeyer.)
6148
6149
* Moved plugins directory to bzrlib/, so that there's a standard
6150
plugin directory which is not only installed with bzr itself but
6151
is also available when using bzr from the development tree.
6152
``BZR_PLUGIN_PATH`` and ``DEFAULT_PLUGIN_PATH`` are then added to the
6153
standard plugins directory.
6154
6155
* When exporting to a tarball with ``bzr export --format tgz``, put
6156
everything under a top directory rather than dumping it into the
6157
current directory. This can be overridden with the ``--root``
6158
option. Patch from William Dodé and John Meinel.
6159
6160
* New ``bzr upgrade`` command to upgrade the format of a branch,
6161
replacing ``bzr check --update``.
6162
6163
* Files within store directories are no longer marked readonly on
6164
disk.
6165
6166
* Changed ``bzr log`` output to a more compact form suggested by
6167
John A Meinel. Old format is available with the ``--long`` or
6168
``-l`` option, patched by William Dodé.
6169
6170
* By default the commit command refuses to record a revision with
6171
no changes unless the ``--unchanged`` option is given.
6172
6173
* The ``--no-plugins``, ``--profile`` and ``--builtin`` command
6174
line options must come before the command name because they
6175
affect what commands are available; all other options must come
6176
after the command name because their interpretation depends on
6177
it.
6178
6179
* ``branch`` and ``clone`` added as aliases for ``branch``.
6180
6181
* Default log format is back to the long format; the compact one
6182
is available with ``--short``.
6183
6184
6185
BUG FIXES:
6186
6187
* Fix bugs in committing only selected files or within a subdirectory.
6188
6189
6190
bzr-0.0.5 2005-06-15
6191
---------------------
6192
6193
CHANGES:
6194
6195
* ``bzr`` with no command now shows help rather than giving an
6196
error. Suggested by Michael Ellerman.
6197
6198
* ``bzr status`` output format changed, because svn-style output
6199
doesn't really match the model of bzr. Now files are grouped by
6200
status and can be shown with their IDs. ``bzr status --all``
6201
shows all versioned files and unknown files but not ignored files.
6202
6203
* ``bzr log`` runs from most-recent to least-recent, the reverse
6204
of the previous order. The previous behaviour can be obtained
6205
with the ``--forward`` option.
6206
6207
* ``bzr inventory`` by default shows only filenames, and also ids
6208
if ``--show-ids`` is given, in which case the id is the second
6209
field.
6210
6211
6212
ENHANCEMENTS:
6213
6214
* New 'bzr whoami --email' option shows only the email component
6215
of the user identification, from Jo Vermeulen.
6216
6217
* New ``bzr ignore PATTERN`` command.
6218
6219
* Nicer error message for broken pipe, interrupt and similar
6220
conditions that don't indicate an internal error.
6221
6222
* Add ``.*.sw[nop] .git .*.tmp *,v`` to default ignore patterns.
6223
6224
* Per-branch locks keyed on ``.bzr/branch-lock``, available in
6225
either read or write mode.
6226
6227
* New option ``bzr log --show-ids`` shows revision and file ids.
6228
6229
* New usage ``bzr log FILENAME`` shows only revisions that
6230
affected that file.
6231
6232
* Changed format for describing changes in ``bzr log -v``.
6233
6234
* New option ``bzr commit --file`` to take a message from a file,
6235
suggested by LarstiQ.
6236
6237
* New syntax ``bzr status [FILE...]`` contributed by Bartosz
6238
Oler. File may be in a branch other than the working directory.
6239
6240
* ``bzr log`` and ``bzr root`` can be given an http URL instead of
6241
a filename.
6242
6243
* Commands can now be defined by external programs or scripts
6244
in a directory on $BZRPATH.
6245
6246
* New "stat cache" avoids reading the contents of files if they
6247
haven't changed since the previous time.
6248
6249
* If the Python interpreter is too old, try to find a better one
6250
or give an error. Based on a patch from Fredrik Lundh.
6251
6252
* New optional parameter ``bzr info [BRANCH]``.
6253
6254
* New form ``bzr commit SELECTED`` to commit only selected files.
6255
6256
* New form ``bzr log -r FROM:TO`` shows changes in selected
6257
range; contributed by John A Meinel.
6258
6259
* New option ``bzr diff --diff-options 'OPTS'`` allows passing
6260
options through to an external GNU diff.
6261
6262
* New option ``bzr add --no-recurse`` to add a directory but not
6263
their contents.
6264
6265
* ``bzr --version`` now shows more information if bzr is being run
6266
from a branch.
6267
6268
6269
BUG FIXES:
6270
6271
* Fixed diff format so that added and removed files will be
6272
handled properly by patch. Fix from Lalo Martins.
6273
6274
* Various fixes for files whose names contain spaces or other
6275
metacharacters.
6276
6277
6278
TESTING:
6279
6280
* Converted black-box test suites from Bourne shell into Python;
6281
now run using ``./testbzr``. Various structural improvements to
6282
the tests.
6283
6284
* testbzr by default runs the version of bzr found in the same
6285
directory as the tests, or the one given as the first parameter.
6286
6287
* testbzr also runs the internal tests, so the only command
6288
required to check is just ``./testbzr``.
6289
6290
* testbzr requires python2.4, but can be used to test bzr running
6291
under a different version.
6292
6293
* Tests added for many other changes in this release.
6294
6295
6296
INTERNAL:
6297
6298
* Included ElementTree library upgraded to 1.2.6 by Fredrik Lundh.
6299
6300
* Refactor command functions into Command objects based on HCT by
6301
Scott James Remnant.
6302
6303
* Better help messages for many commands.
6304
6305
* Expose ``bzrlib.open_tracefile()`` to start the tracefile; until
6306
this is called trace messages are just discarded.
6307
6308
* New internal function ``find_touching_revisions()`` and hidden
6309
command touching-revisions trace the changes to a given file.
6310
6311
* Simpler and faster ``compare_inventories()`` function.
6312
6313
* ``bzrlib.open_tracefile()`` takes a tracefilename parameter.
6314
6315
* New AtomicFile class.
6316
6317
* New developer commands ``added``, ``modified``.
6318
6319
6320
PORTABILITY:
6321
6322
* Cope on Windows on python2.3 by using the weaker random seed.
6323
2.4 is now only recommended.
6324
6325
6326
bzr-0.0.4 2005-04-22
6327
---------------------
6328
6329
ENHANCEMENTS:
6330
6331
* 'bzr diff' optionally takes a list of files to diff. Still a bit
6332
basic. Patch from QuantumG.
6333
6334
* More default ignore patterns.
6335
6336
* New 'bzr log --verbose' shows a list of files changed in the
6337
changeset. Patch from Sebastian Cote.
6338
6339
* Roll over ~/.bzr.log if it gets too large.
6340
6341
* Command abbreviations 'ci', 'st', 'stat', '?' based on a patch
6342
by Jason Diamon.
6343
6344
* New 'bzr help commands' based on a patch from Denys Duchier.
6345
6346
6347
CHANGES:
6348
6349
* User email is determined by looking at $BZREMAIL or ~/.bzr.email
6350
or $EMAIL. All are decoded by the locale preferred encoding.
6351
If none of these are present user@hostname is used. The host's
6352
fully-qualified name is not used because that tends to fail when
6353
there are DNS problems.
6354
6355
* New 'bzr whoami' command instead of username user-email.
6356
6357
6358
BUG FIXES:
6359
6360
* Make commit safe for hardlinked bzr trees.
6361
6362
* Some Unicode/locale fixes.
6363
6364
* Partial workaround for ``difflib.unified_diff`` not handling
6365
trailing newlines properly.
6366
6367
6368
INTERNAL:
6369
6370
* Allow docstrings for help to be in PEP0257 format. Patch from
6371
Matt Brubeck.
6372
6373
* More tests in test.sh.
6374
6375
* Write profile data to a temporary file not into working
6376
directory and delete it when done.
6377
6378
* Smaller .bzr.log with process ids.
6379
6380
6381
PORTABILITY:
6382
6383
* Fix opening of ~/.bzr.log on Windows. Patch from Andrew
6384
Bennetts.
6385
6386
* Some improvements in handling paths on Windows, based on a patch
6387
from QuantumG.
6388
6389
6390
bzr-0.0.3 2005-04-06
6391
---------------------
6392
6393
ENHANCEMENTS:
6394
6395
* New "directories" internal command lists versioned directories
6396
in the tree.
6397
6398
* Can now say "bzr commit --help".
6399
6400
* New "rename" command to rename one file to a different name
6401
and/or directory.
6402
6403
* New "move" command to move one or more files into a different
6404
directory.
6405
6406
* New "renames" command lists files renamed since base revision.
6407
6408
* New cat command contributed by janmar.
6409
6410
CHANGES:
6411
6412
* .bzr.log is placed in $HOME (not pwd) and is always written in
6413
UTF-8. (Probably not a completely good long-term solution, but
6414
will do for now.)
6415
6416
PORTABILITY:
6417
6418
* Workaround for difflib bug in Python 2.3 that causes an
6419
exception when comparing empty files. Reported by Erik Toubro
6420
Nielsen.
6421
6422
INTERNAL:
6423
6424
* Refactored inventory storage to insert a root entry at the top.
6425
6426
TESTING:
6427
6428
* Start of shell-based black-box testing in test.sh.

bzr-0.0.2 "black cube" 2005-03-31
6440
-----------------------------------
6441
6442
ENHANCEMENTS:
6443
6444
* Default ignore list extended (see bzrlib/__init__.py).
6445
6446
* Patterns in .bzrignore are now added to the default ignore list,
6447
rather than replacing it.
6448
6449
* Ignore list isn't reread for every file.
6450
6451
* More help topics.
6452
6453
* Reinstate the 'bzr check' command to check invariants of the
6454
branch.
6455
6456
* New 'ignored' command lists which files are ignored and why;
6457
'deleted' lists files deleted in the current working tree.
6458
6459
* Performance improvements.
6460
6461
* New global --profile option.
6462
6463
* Ignore patterns like './config.h' now correctly match files in
6464
the root directory only.
6465
6466
6467
bzr-0.0.1 2005-03-26
6468

6469
6470
ENHANCEMENTS:
6471
6472
* More information from info command.
6473
6474
* Can now say "bzr help COMMAND" for more detailed help.
6475
6476
* Less file flushing and faster performance when writing logs and
6477
committing to stores.
6478
6479
* More useful verbose output from some commands.
6480
6481
BUG FIXES:
6482
6483
* Fix inverted display of 'R' and 'M' during 'commit -v'.
6484
6485
PORTABILITY:
6486
6487
* Include a subset of ElementTree-1.2.20040618 to make
6488
installation easier.
6489
6490
* Fix time.localtime call to work with Python 2.3 (the minimum
6491
supported).

6494
bzr-0.0.0.69 2005-03-22
6495
------------------------
6496
6497
ENHANCEMENTS:
6498
6499
* First public release.
