IN DEVELOPMENT
9
--------------
10
11
CHANGES:
12
13
* Knit format repositories are deprecated and bzr will now emit
14
warnings whenever it encounters one. Use ``bzr upgrade`` to upgrade
15
knit repositories to pack format. (Andrew Bennetts)
16
17
18
FEATURES:
19
20
21
IMPROVEMENTS:
22
23
* Implemented a custom ``walkdirs_utf8`` implementation for win32.
24
This uses a pyrex extension to get direct access to the
25
``FindFirstFileW`` style apis, rather than using ``listdir`` +
26
``lstat``. Shows a very strong improvement in commands like
27
``status`` and ``diff`` which have to iterate the working tree.
28
Anywhere from 2x-6x faster depending on the size of the tree (bigger
29
trees, bigger benefit.) (John Arbash Meinel)
30
31
* Fetching data between repositories that have the same model but no
32
optimised fetcher will not reserialise all the revisions, increasing
33
performance. (Robert Collins, John Arbash Meinel)
34
35
BUG FIXES:
36
37
* ``bzr branch --stacked`` ensures the destination branch format can
38
support stacking, even if the origin does not.
39
(Martin Pool)
40
41
* Fix a test case that was failing if encoding wasn't UTF-8.
42
(John Arbash Meinel, #247585)
43
44
* Fix "no buffer space available" error when branching with the new
45
smart server protocol to or from Windows.
46
(Andrew Bennetts, #246180)
47
48
49
DOCUMENTATION:
50
51
52
TESTING:
53
54
55
API CHANGES:
56
57
* The generic fetch code now uses three attributes on Repository objects
58
to control fetch. The streams requested are controlled via :
59
``_fetch_order`` and ``_fetch_uses_deltas``. Setting these
60
appropriately allows different repository implementations to recieve
61
data in their optimial form. If the ``_fetch_reconcile`` is set then
62
a reconcile operation is triggered at the end of the fetch.
63
(Robert Collins)
64
65
INTERNALS:
66
67
* RuleSearchers return () instead of [] now when there are no matches.
68
(Ian Clatworthy)
69
70
71
bzr 1.6beta3 2008-07-17
72
-----------------------
73
74
FEATURES:
75
76
* New ``pre_change_branch_tip`` hook that is called before the
77
branch tip is moved, while the branch is write-locked. See the User
78
Reference for signature details. (Andrew Bennetts)
79
80
* Rule-based preferences can now be defined for selected files in
81
selected branches, allowing commands and plugins to provide
82
custom behaviour for files matching defined patterns.
83
See ``Rule-based preferences`` (part of ``Configuring Bazaar``)
84
in the User Guide and ``bzr help rules`` for more information.
85
(Ian Clatworthy)
86
87
* Sites may suggest a branch to stack new branches on. (Aaron Bentley)
88
89
* Stacked branches are now supported. See ``bzr help branch`` and
90
``bzr help push``. (Robert Collins)
91
92
IMPROVEMENTS:
93
94
* ``bzr export --format=tgz --root=NAME -`` to export a gzipped tarball
95
to stdout; also ``tar`` and ``tbz2``.
96
(Martin Pool)
97
98
* ``bzr (re)merge --weave`` will now use a standard Weave algorithm,
99
rather than the annotation-based merge it was using. It does so by
100
building up a Weave of the important texts, without needing to build
101
the full ancestry. (John Arbash Meinel, #238895)
102
103
* ``bzr send`` documents and better supports ``emacsclient`` (proper
104
escaping of mail headers and handling of the MUA Mew).
105
(Christophe Troestler)
106
107
* Remembered locations can be specified by aliases, e.g. :parent, :public,
108
:submit. (Aaron Bentley)
109
110
* The smart protocol now has improved support for setting branches'
111
revision info directly. This makes operations like push
112
faster. The new request method name is
113
``Branch.set_last_revision_ex``. (Andrew Bennetts)
114
115
* New registry for log properties handles and the method in
116
LongLogFormatter to display the custom properties returned by the
117
registered handlers. (Guillermo Gonzalez, #162469)
118
119
BUG FIXES:
120
121
* Bazaar is now able to be a client to the web server of IIS 6 and 7.
122
The broken implementations of RFC822 in Python and RFC2046 in IIS
123
combined with boundary-line checking in Bazaar previously made this
124
impossible. (NB, IIS 5 does not suffer from this problem).
125
(Adrian Wilkins, #247585)
126
127
* ``bzr log --long`` with a ghost in your mainline now handles that
128
ghost properly. (John Arbash Meinel, #243536)
129
130
* ``check`` handles the split-up .bzr layout correctly, so no longer
131
requires a branch to be present.
132
(Daniel Watkins, #64783)
133
134
* ``bzr serve --directory=/`` now correctly allows the whole
135
filesystem to be accessed on Windows, not just the root of the drive
136
that Python is running from.
137
(Adrian Wilkins, #240910)
138
139
* Clearer message about how to set the PYTHONPATH if bzrlib can't be
140
loaded.
141
(Martin Pool, #205230)
142
143
* Errors about missing libraries are now shown without a traceback,
144
and with a suggestion to install the library. The full traceback is
145
still in ``.bzr.log`` and can be shown with ``-Derror``.
146
(Martin Pool, #240161)
147
148
* Fixed problem in branching from smart server.
149
(#249256, Michael Hudson, Martin Pool)
150
151
* Fetch from a stacked branch copies all required data.
152
(Aaron Bentley, #248506)
153
154
* Handle urls such as ftp://user@host.com@www.host.com where the user
155
name contains an @.
156
(Neil Martinsen-Burrell, #228058)
157
158
* ``needs_read_lock`` and ``needs_write_lock`` now suppress an error during
159
``unlock`` if there was an error in the original function. This helps
160
most when there is a failure with a smart server action, since often the
161
connection closes and we cannot unlock.
162
(Andrew Bennetts, John Arbash Meinel, #125784)
163
164
* Obsolete hidden command ``bzr fetch`` removed.
165
(Martin Pool, #172870)
166
167
* Raise the correct exception when doing ``-rbefore:0`` or ``-c0``.
168
(John Arbash Meinel, #239933)
169
170
* You can now compare file revisions in Windows diff programs from
171
Cygwin Bazaar.
172
(Matt McClure, #209281)
173
174
* revision_history now tolerates mainline ghosts for Branch format 6.
175
(Aaron Bentley, #235055)
176
177
* Set locale from environment for third party libs.
178
(Martin von Gagern, #128496)
179
180
* Handle a file turning in to a directory in TreeTransform.
181
(James Westby, #248448)
182
183
DOCUMENTATION:
184
185
* Added *Using stacked branches* to the User Guide.
186
(Ian Clatworthy)
187
188
* Updated developer documentation.
189
(Martin Pool)
190
191
TESTING:
192
193
* ``-Dmemory`` will cause /proc/PID/status to be catted before bzr
194
exits, allowing low-key analysis of peak memory use. (Robert Collins)
195
196
* ``TestCaseWithTransport.make_branch_and_tree`` tries harder to return
197
a tree with a ``branch`` attribute of the right format. This was
198
preventing some ``RemoteBranch`` tests from actually running with
199
``RemoteBranch`` instances. (Andrew Bennetts)
200
201
API CHANGES:
202
203
* Removed ``Repository.text_store``, ``control_store``, etc. Instead,
204
there are new attributes ``texts, inventories, revisions,
205
signatures``, each of which is a ``VersionedFiles``. See the
206
Repository docstring for more details.
207
(Robert Collins)
208
209
* ``Branch.pull`` now accepts an ``_override_hook_target`` optional
210
parameter. If you have a subclass of ``Branch`` that overrides
211
``pull`` then you should add this parameter. (Andrew Bennetts)
212
213
* ``bzrlib.check.check()`` has been deprecated in favour of the more
214
aptly-named ``bzrlib.check.check_branch()``.
215
(Daniel Watkins)
216
217
* ``Tree.print_file`` and ``Repository.print_file`` are deprecated.
218
These methods are bad APIs because they write directly to sys.stdout.
219
bzrlib does not use them internally, and there are no direct tests
220
for them. (Alexander Belchenko)
221
222
INTERNALS:
223
224
* ``cat`` command no longer uses ``Tree.print_file()`` internally.
225
(Alexander Belchenko)
226
227
* New class method ``BzrDir.open_containing_tree_branch_or_repository``
228
which eases the discovery of the tree, the branch and the repository
229
containing a given location.
230
(Daniel Watkins)
231
232
* New ``versionedfile.KeyMapper`` interface to abstract out the access to
233
underlying .knit/.kndx etc files in repositories with partitioned
234
storage. (Robert Collins)
235
236
* Obsolete developer-use command ``weave-join`` has been removed.
237
(Robert Collins)
238
239
* ``RemoteToOtherFetcher`` and ``get_data_stream_for_search`` removed,
240
to support new ``VersionedFiles`` layering.
241
(Robert Collins)
242
243
244
bzr 1.6beta2 2008-06-10
245
-----------------------
246
247
This release contains further progress towards our 1.6 goals of shallow
248
repositories, and contains a fix for some user-affecting bugs in the
249
repository layer. Building working trees during checkout and branch is
250
now faster.
251
252
BUG FIXES:
253
254
* Avoid KnitCorrupt error extracting inventories from some repositories.
255
(The data is not corrupt; an internal check is detecting a problem
256
reading from the repository.)
257
(Martin Pool, Andrew Bennetts, Robert Collins, #234748)
258
259
* ``bzr status`` was breaking if you merged the same revision twice.
260
(John Arbash Meinel, #235407)
261
262
* Fix infinite loop consuming 100% CPU when a connection is lost while
263
reading a response body via the smart protocol v1 or v2.
264
(Andrew Bennetts)
265
266
* Inserting a bundle which changes the contents of a file with no trailing
267
end of line, causing a knit snapshot in a 'knits' repository will no longer
268
cause KnitCorrupt. (Robert Collins)
269
270
* ``RemoteBranch.pull`` needs to return the ``self._real_branch``'s
271
pull result. It was instead just returning None, which breaks ``bzr
272
pull``. (John Arbash Meinel, #238149)
273
274
* Sanitize branch nick before using it as an attachment filename in
275
``bzr send``. (Lukáš Lalinský, #210218)
276
277
* Squash ``inv_entry.symlink_target`` to a plain string when
278
generating DirState details. This prevents from getting a
279
``UnicodeError`` when you have symlinks and non-ascii filenames.
280
(John Arbash Meinel, #135320)
281
282
IMPROVEMENTS:
283
284
* Added the 'alias' command to set/unset and display aliases. (Tim Penhey)
285
286
* ``added``, ``modified``, and ``unknowns`` behaviour made consistent (all three
287
now quote paths where required). Added ``--null`` option to ``added`` and
288
``modified`` (for null-separated unknowns, use ``ls --unknown --null``)
289
(Adrian Wilkins)
290
291
* Faster branching (1.09x) and lightweight checkouts (1.06x) on large trees.
292
(Ian Clatworthy, Aaron Bentley)
293
294
DOCUMENTATION:
295
296
* Added *Bazaar Zen* section to the User Guide. (Ian Clatworthy)
297
298
TESTING:
299
300
* Fix the test HTTPServer to be isolated from chdir calls made while it is
301
running, allowing it to be used in blackbox tests. (Robert Collins)
302
303
API CHANGES:
304
305
* ``WorkingTree.set_parent_(ids/trees)`` will now filter out revisions
306
which are in the ancestry of other revisions. So if you merge the same
307
tree twice, or merge an ancestor of an existing merge, it will only
308
record the newest. (If you merge a descendent, it will replace its
309
ancestor). (John Arbash Meinel, #235407)
310
311
* ``RepositoryPolicy.__init__`` now requires stack_on and stack_on_pwd,
312
through the derived classes do not. (Aaron Bentley)
313
314
INTERNALS:
315
316
* ``bzrlib.bzrdir.BzrDir.sprout`` now accepts ``stacked`` to control
317
creating stacked branches. (Robert Collins)
318
319
* Knit record serialisation is now stricter on what it will accept, to
320
guard against potential internal bugs, or broken input. (Robert Collins)
321
322
323
bzr 1.6beta1 2008-06-02
324
-----------------------
325
326
327
Commands that work on the revision history such as push, pull, missing,
328
uncommit and log are now substantially faster. This release adds a
329
translation of some of the user documentation into Spanish. (Contributions of
330
other translations would be very welcome.) Bazaar 1.6beta1 adds a new network
331
protocol which is used by default and which allows for more efficient transfers
332
and future extensions.
333
334
335
NOTES WHEN UPGRADING:
336
337
* There is a new version of the network protocol used for bzr://, bzr+ssh://
338
and bzr+http:// connections. This will allow more efficient requests and
339
responses, and more graceful fallback when a server is too old to
340
recognise a request from a more recent client. Bazaar 1.6 will
341
interoperate with 0.16 and later versions, but servers should be upgraded
342
when possible. Bazaar 1.6 no longer interoperates with 0.15 and earlier via
343
these protocols. Use alternatives like SFTP or upgrade those servers.
344
(Andrew Bennetts, #83935)
345
346
CHANGES:
347
348
* Deprecation warnings will not be suppressed when running ``bzr selftest``
349
so that developers can see if their code is using deprecated functions.
350
(John Arbash Meinel)
351
352
FEATURES:
353
354
* Adding ``-Derror`` will now display a traceback when a plugin fails to
355
load. (James Westby)
356
357
IMPROVEMENTS:
358
359
* ``bzr branch/push/pull -r XXX`` now have a helper function for finding
360
the revno of the new revision (``Graph.find_distance_to_null``). This
361
should make something like ``bzr branch -r -100`` in a shared, no-trees
362
repository much snappier. (John Arbash Meinel)
363
364
* ``bzr log --short -r X..Y`` no longer needs to access the full revision
365
history. This makes it noticeably faster when logging the last few
366
revisions. (John Arbash Meinel)
367
368
* ``bzr ls`` now accepts ``-V`` as an alias for ``--versioned``.
369
(Jerad Cramp, #165086)
370
371
* ``bzr missing`` uses the new ``Graph.find_unique_ancestors`` and
372
``Graph.find_differences`` to determine missing revisions without having
373
to search the whole ancestry. (John Arbash Meinel, #174625)
374
375
* ``bzr uncommit`` now uses partial history access, rather than always
376
extracting the full revision history for a branch. This makes it
377
resolve the appropriate revisions much faster (in testing it drops
378
uncommit from 1.5s => 0.4s). It also means ``bzr log --short`` is one
379
step closer to not using full revision history.
380
(John Arbash Meinel, #172649)
381
382
BUGFIXES:
383
384
* ``bzr merge --lca`` should handle when two revisions have no common
385
ancestor other than NULL_REVISION. (John Arbash Meinel, #235715)
386
387
* ``bzr status`` was breaking if you merged the same revision twice.
388
(John Arbash Meinel, #235407)
389
390
* ``bzr push`` with both ``--overwrite`` and ``-r NNN`` options no longer
391
fails. (Andrew Bennetts, #234229)
392
393
* Correctly track the base URL of a smart medium when using bzr+http://
394
URLs, which was causing spurious "No repository present" errors with
395
branches in shared repositories accessed over bzr+http.
396
(Andrew Bennetts, #230550)
397
398
* Define ``_remote_is_at_least_1_2`` on ``SmartClientMedium`` so that all
399
implementations have the attribute. Fixes 'PyCurlTransport' object has no
400
attribute '_remote_is_at_least_1_2' attribute errors.
401
(Andrew Bennetts, #220806)
402
403
* Failure to delete an obsolete pack file should just give a warning
404
message, not a fatal error. It may for example fail if the file is still
405
in use by another process.
406
(Martin Pool)
407
408
* Fix MemoryError during large fetches over HTTP by limiting the amount of
409
data we try to read per ``recv`` call. The problem was observed with
410
Windows and a proxy, but might affect other environments as well.
411
(Eric Holmberg, #215426)
412
413
* Handle old merge directives correctly in Merger.from_mergeable. Stricter
414
get_parent_map requirements exposed a latent bug here. (Aaron Bentley)
415
416
* Issue a warning and ignore passwords declared in authentication.conf when
417
used for an ssh scheme (sftp or bzr+ssh).
418
(Vincent Ladeuil, #203186)
419
420
* Make both http implementations raise appropriate exceptions on 403
421
Forbidden when POSTing smart requests.
422
(Vincent Ladeuil, #230223)
423
424
* Properly *title* header names in http requests instead of capitalizing
425
them.
426
(Vincent Ladeuil, #229076)
427
428
* The "Unable to obtain lock" error message now also suggests using
429
``bzr break-lock`` to fix it. (Martin Albisetti, #139202)
430
431
* Treat an encoding of '' as ascii; this can happen when bzr is run
432
under vim on Mac OS X.
433
(Neil Martinsen-Burrell)
434
435
* ``VersionedFile.make_mpdiffs()`` was raising an exception that wasn't in
436
scope. (Daniel Fischer #235687)
437
438
DOCUMENTATION:
439
440
* Added directory structure and started translation of docs in spanish.
441
(Martin Albisetti, Lucio Albenga)
442
443
* Incorporate feedback from Jelmer Vernooij and Neil Martinsen-Burrell
444
on the plugin and integration chapters of the User Guide.
445
(Ian Clatworthy)
446
447
* More Bazaar developer documentation about packaging and release process,
448
and about use of Python reprs.
449
(Martin Pool, Martin Albisetti)
450
451
* Updated Tortise strategy document. (Mark Hammond)
452
453
TESTING:
454
455
* ``bzrlib.tests.adapt_tests`` was broken and unused - it has been fixed.
456
(Robert Collins)
457
458
* Fix the test HTTPServer to be isolated from chdir calls made while it is
459
running, allowing it to be used in blackbox tests. (Robert Collins)
460
461
* New helper function for splitting test suites
462
``split_suite_by_condition``. (Robert Collins)
463
464
INTERNALS:
465
466
* ``Branch.missing_revisions`` has been deprecated. Similar functionality
467
can be obtained using ``bzrlib.missing.find_unmerged``. The api was
468
fairly broken, and the function was unused, so we are getting rid of it.
469
(John Arbash Meinel)
470
471
API CHANGES:
472
473
* ``Branch.abspath`` is deprecated; use the Tree or Transport
474
instead. (Martin Pool)
475
476
* ``Branch.update_revisions`` now takes an optional ``Graph``
477
object. This can be used by ``update_revisions`` when it is
478
checking ancestry, and allows callers to prefer request to go to a
479
local branch. (John Arbash Meinel)
480
481
* Branch, Repository, Tree and BzrDir should expose a Transport as an
482
attribute if they have one, rather than having it indirectly accessible
483
as ``.control_files._transport``. This doesn't add a requirement
484
to support a Transport in cases where it was not needed before;
485
it just simplifies the way it is reached. (Martin Pool)
486
487
* ``bzr missing --mine-only`` will return status code 0 if you have no
488
new revisions, but the remote does. Similarly for ``--theirs-only``.
489
The new code only checks one side, so it doesn't know if the other
490
side has changes. This seems more accurate with the request anyway.
491
It also changes the output to print '[This|Other] branch is up to
492
date.' rather than displaying nothing. (John Arbash Meinel)
493
494
* ``LockableFiles.put_utf8``, ``put_bytes`` and ``controlfilename``
495
are now deprecated in favor of using Transport operations.
496
(Martin Pool)
497
498
* Many methods on ``VersionedFile``, ``Repository`` and in
499
``bzrlib.revision`` deprecated before bzrlib 1.5 have been removed.
500
(Robert Collins)
501
502
* ``RevisionSpec.wants_revision_history`` can be set to False for a given
503
``RevisionSpec``. This will disable the existing behavior of passing in
504
the full revision history to ``self._match_on``. Useful for specs that
505
don't actually need access to the full history. (John Arbash Meinel)
506
507
* The constructors of ``SmartClientMedium`` and its subclasses now require a
508
``base`` parameter. ``SmartClientMedium`` implementations now also need
509
to provide a ``remote_path_from_transport`` method. (Andrew Bennetts)
510
511
* The default permissions for creating new files and directories
512
should now be obtained from ``BzrDir._get_file_mode()`` and
513
``_get_dir_mode()``, rather than from LockableFiles. The ``_set_file_mode``
514
and ``_set_dir_mode`` variables on LockableFiles which were advertised
515
as a way for plugins to control this are no longer consulted.
516
(Martin Pool)
517
518
* ``VersionedFile.join`` is deprecated. This method required local
519
instances of both versioned file objects and was thus hostile to being
520
used for streaming from a smart server. The new get_record_stream and
521
insert_record_stream are meant to efficiently replace this method.
522
(Robert Collins)
523
524
* ``WorkingTree.set_parent_(ids/trees)`` will now filter out revisions
525
which are in the ancestry of other revisions. So if you merge the same
526
tree twice, or merge an ancestor of an existing merge, it will only
527
record the newest. (If you merge a descendent, it will replace its
528
ancestor). (John Arbash Meinel, #235407)
529
530
* ``WorkingTreeFormat2.stub_initialize_remote`` is now private.

bzr 1.5 2008-05-16
535
------------------
536
537
This release of Bazaar includes several updates to the documentation, and fixes
538
to prepare for making rich root support the default format. Many bugs have been
539
squashed, including fixes to log, bzr+ssh inter-operation with older servers.
540
541
CHANGES:
542
543
* Suppress deprecation warnings when bzrlib is a 'final' release. This way
544
users of packaged software won't be bothered with DeprecationWarnings,
545
but developers and testers will still see them. (John Arbash Meinel)
546
547
DOCUMENTATION:
548
549
* Incorporate feedback from Jelmer Vernooij and Neil Martinsen-Burrell
550
on the plugin and integration chapters of the User Guide.

555
---------------------
556
557
NOTES WHEN UPGRADING:
558
559
CHANGES:
560
561
* Broader support of GNU Emacs mail clients. Set
562
``mail_client=emacsclient`` in your bazaar.conf and ``send`` will pop the
563
bundle in a mail buffer according to the value of ``mail-user-agent``
564
variable. (Xavier Maillard)
565
566
FEATURES:
567
568
IMPROVEMENTS:
569
570
* Diff now handles revision specs like "branch:" and "submit:" more
571
efficiently. (Aaron Bentley, #202928)
572
573
* More friendly error given when attempt to start the smart server
574
on an address already in use. (Andrea Corbellini, #200575)
575
576
* Pull completes much faster when there is nothing to pull.
577
(Aaron Bentley)
578
579
BUGFIXES:
580
581
* Authentication.conf can define sections without password.
582
(Vincent Ladeuil, #199440)
583
584
* Avoid muttering every time a child update does not cause a progress bar
585
update. (John Arbash Meinel, #213771)
586
587
* ``Branch.reconcile()`` is now implemented. This allows ``bzr reconcile``
588
to fix when a Branch has a non-canonical mainline history. ``bzr check``
589
also detects this condition. (John Arbash Meinel, #177855)
590
591
* ``bzr log -r ..X bzr://`` was failing, because it was getting a request
592
for ``revision_id=None`` which was not a string.
593
(John Arbash Meinel, #211661)
594
595
* ``bzr commit`` now works with Microsoft's FTP service.
596
(Andreas Deininger)
597
598
* Catch definitions outside sections in authentication.conf.
599
(Vincent Ladeuil, #217650)
600
601
* Conversion from non-rich-root to rich-root(-pack) updates inventory
602
sha1s, even when bundles are used. (Aaron Bentley, #181391)
603
604
* Conversion from non-rich-root to rich-root(-pack) works correctly even
605
though search keys are not topologically sorted. (Aaron Bentley)
606
607
* Conversion from non-rich-root to rich-root(-pack) works even when a
608
parent revision has a different root id. (Aaron Bentley, #177874)
609
610
* Disable strace testing until strace is fixed (see bug #103133) and emit a
611
warning when selftest ends to remind us of leaking tests.
612
(Vincent Ladeuil, #226769)
613
614
* Fetching all revisions from a repository does not cause pack collisions.
615
(Robert Collins, Aaron Bentley, #212908)
616
617
* Fix error about "attempt to add line-delta in non-delta knit".
618
(Andrew Bennetts, #217701)
619
620
* Pushing a branch in "dirstate" format (Branch5) over bzr+ssh would break
621
if the remote server was < version 1.2. This was due to a bug in the
622
RemoteRepository.get_parent_map() fallback code.
623
(John Arbash Meinel, #214894)
624
625
* Remove leftover code in ``bzr_branch`` that inappropriately creates
626
a ``branch-name`` file in the branch control directory.
627
(Martin Pool)
628
629
* Set SO_REUSEADDR on server sockets of ``bzr serve`` to avoid problems
630
rebinding the socket when starting the server a second time.
631
(John Arbash Meinel, Martin Pool, #164288)
632
633
* Severe performance degradation in fetching from knit repositories to
634
knits and packs due to parsing the entire revisions.kndx on every graph
635
walk iteration fixed by using the Repository.get_graph API. There was
636
another regression in knit => knit fetching which re-read the index for
637
every revision each side had in common.
638
(Robert Collins, John Arbash Meinel)
639
640
* When logging the changes to a particular file, there was a bug if there
641
were ghosts in the revision ancestry. (John Arbash Meinel, #209948)
642
643
* xs4all's ftp server returns a temporary error when trying to list an
644
empty directory, rather than returning an empty list. Adding a
645
workaround so that we don't get spurious failures.
646
(John Arbash Meinel, #215522)
647
648
DOCUMENTATION:
649
650
* Expanded the User Guide to include new chapters on popular plugins and
651
integrating Bazaar into your environment. The *Best practices* chapter
652
was renamed to *Miscellaneous topics* as suggested by community
653
feedback as well. (Ian Clatworthy)
654
655
* Document outlining strategies for TortoiseBzr. (Mark Hammond)
656
657
* Improved the documentation on hooks. (Ian Clatworthy)
658
659
* Update authentication docs regarding ssh agents.
660
(Vincent Ladeuil, #183705)
661
662
TESTING:
663
664
* Add ``thread_name_suffix`` parameter to SmartTCPServer_for_testing, to
665
make it easy to identify which test spawned a thread with an unhandled
666
exception. (Andrew Bennetts)
667
668
* New ``--debugflag``/``-E`` option to ``bzr selftest`` for setting
669
options for debugging tests, these are complementary to the the -D
670
options. The ``-Dselftest_debug`` global option has been replaced by the
671
``-E=allow_debug`` option for selftest. (Andrew Bennetts)
672
673
* Parameterised test ids are preserved correctly to aid diagnosis of test
674
failures. (Robert Collins, Andrew Bennetts)
675
676
* selftest now accepts --starting-with <id> to load only the tests whose id
677
starts with the one specified. This greatly speeds up running the test
678
suite on a limited set of tests and can be used to run the tests for a
679
single module, a single class or even a single test. (Vincent Ladeuil)
680
681
* The test suite modules have been modified to define load_tests() instead
682
of test_suite(). That speeds up selective loading (via --load-list)
683
significantly and provides many examples on how to migrate (grep for
684
load_tests). (Vincent Ladeuil)
685
686
INTERNALS:
687
688
* ``Hooks.install_hook`` is now deprecated in favour of
689
``Hooks.install_named_hook`` which adds a required ``name`` parameter, to
690
avoid having to call ``Hooks.name_hook``. (Daniel Watkins)
691
692
* Implement xml8 serializer. (Aaron Bentley)
693
694
* New form ``@deprecated_method(deprecated_in(1, 5, 0))`` for making
695
deprecation wrappers. (Martin Pool)
696
697
* ``Repository.revision_parents`` is now deprecated in favour of
698
``Repository.get_parent_map([revid])[revid]``. (Jelmer Vernooij)
699
700
* The Python ``assert`` statement is no longer used in Bazaar source, and
701
a test checks this. (Martin Pool)
702
703
API CHANGES:
704
705
* ``bzrlib.status.show_pending_merges`` requires the repository to be
706
locked by the caller. Callers should have been doing it anyway, but it
707
will now raise an exception if they do not. (John Arbash Meinel)
708
709
* Repository.get_data_stream, Repository.get_data_stream_for_search(),
710
Repository.get_deltas_for_revsions(), Repository.revision_trees(),
711
Repository.item_keys_introduced_by() no longer take read locks.
712
(Aaron Bentley)
713
714
* ``LockableFiles.get_utf8`` and ``.get`` are deprecated, as a start
715
towards removing LockableFiles and ``.control_files`` entirely.
716
(Martin Pool)
717
718
* Methods deprecated prior to 1.1 have been removed.

bzr 1.4 2008-04-28
723
------------------
724
725
This release of Bazaar includes handy improvements to the speed of log and
726
status, new options for several commands, improved documentation, and better
727
hooks, including initial code for server-side hooks. A number of bugs have
728
been fixed, particularly in interoperability between different formats or
729
different releases of Bazaar over there network. There's been substantial
730
internal work in both the repository and network code to enable new features
731
and faster performance.
732
733
BUG FIXES:
734
735
* Pushing a branch in "dirstate" format (Branch5) over bzr+ssh would break
736
if the remote server was < version 1.2. This was due to a bug in the
737
RemoteRepository.get_parent_map() fallback code.

bzr 1.4rc2 2008-04-21
742
---------------------
743
744
BUG FIXES:
745
746
* ``bzr log -r ..X bzr://`` was failing, because it was getting a request
747
for ``revision_id=None`` which was not a string.
748
(John Arbash Meinel, #211661)
749
750
* Fixed a bug in handling ghost revisions when logging changes in a
751
particular file. (John Arbash Meinel, #209948)
752
753
* Fix error about "attempt to add line-delta in non-delta knit".
754
(Andrew Bennetts, #205156)
755
756
* Fixed performance degradation in fetching from knit repositories to
757
knits and packs due to parsing the entire revisions.kndx on every graph
758
walk iteration fixed by using the Repository.get_graph API. There was
759
another regression in knit => knit fetching which re-read the index for

bzr 1.4rc1 2008-04-11
765
---------------------
766
767
CHANGES:
768
769
* bzr main script cannot be imported (Benjamin Peterson)
770
771
* On Linux bzr additionally looks for plugins in arch-independent site
772
directory. (Toshio Kuratomi)
773
774
* The ``set_rh`` branch hook is now deprecated. Please migrate
775
any plugins using this hook to use an alternative, e.g.
776
``post_change_branch_tip``. (Ian Clatworthy)
777
778
* When a plugin cannot be loaded as the file path is not a valid
779
python module name bzr will now strip a ``bzr_`` prefix from the
780
front of the suggested name, as many plugins (e.g. bzr-svn)
781
want to be installed without this prefix. It is a common mistake
782
to have a folder named "bzr-svn" for that plugin, especially
783
as this is what bzr branch lp:bzr-svn will give you. (James Westby,
784
Andrew Cowie)
785
786
* UniqueIntegerBugTracker now appends bug-ids instead of joining
787
them to the base URL. Plugins that register bug trackers may
788
need a trailing / added to the base URL if one is not already there.
789
(James Wesby, Andrew Cowie)
790
791
FEATURES:
792
793
* Added start_commit hook for mutable trees. (Jelmer Vernooij, #186422)
794
795
* ``status`` now accepts ``--no-pending`` to show the status without
796
listing pending merges, which speeds up the command a lot on large
797
histories. (James Westby, #202830)
798
799
* New ``post_change_branch_tip`` hook that is called after the
800
branch tip is moved but while the branch is still write-locked.
801
See the User Reference for signature details.
802
(Ian Clatworthy, James Henstridge)
803
804
* Reconfigure can convert a branch to be standalone or to use a shared
805
repository. (Aaron Bentley)
806
807
IMPROVEMENTS:
808
809
* The smart protocol now has support for setting branches' revision info
810
directly. This should make operations like push slightly faster, and is a
811
step towards server-side hooks. The new request method name is
812
``Branch.set_last_revision_info``. (Andrew Bennetts)
813
814
* ``bzr commit --fixes`` now recognises "gnome" as a tag by default.
815
(James Westby, Andrew Cowie)
816
817
* ``bzr switch`` will attempt to find branches to switch to relative to the
818
current branch. E.g. ``bzr switch branchname`` will look for
819
``current_branch/../branchname``. (Robert Collins, Jelmer Vernooij,
820
Wouter van Heyst)
821
822
* Diff is now more specific about execute-bit changes it describes
823
(Chad Miller)
824
825
* Fetching data over HTTP is a bit faster when urllib is used. This is done
826
by forcing it to recv 64k at a time when reading lines in HTTP headers,
827
rather than just 1 byte at a time. (Andrew Bennetts)
828
829
* Log --short and --line are much faster when -r is not specified.
830
(Aaron Bentley)
831
832
* Merge is faster. We no longer check a file's existence unnecessarily
833
when merging the execute bit. (Aaron Bentley)
834
835
* ``bzr status`` on an explicit list of files no longer shows pending
836
merges, making it much faster on large trees. (John Arbash Meinel)
837
838
* The launchpad directory service now warns the user if they have not set
839
their launchpad login and are trying to resolve a URL using it, just
840
in case they want to do a write operation with it. (James Westby)
841
842
* The smart protocol client is slightly faster, because it now only queries
843
the server for the protocol version once per connection. Also, the HTTP
844
transport will now automatically probe for and use a smart server if
845
one is present. You can use the new ``nosmart+`` transport decorator
846
to get the old behaviour. (Andrew Bennetts)
847
848
* The ``version`` command takes a ``--short`` option to print just the
849
version number, for easier use in scripts. (Martin Pool)
850
851
* Various operations with revision specs and commands that calculate
852
revnos and revision ids are faster. (John A. Meinel, Aaron Bentley)
853
854
BUGFIXES:
855
856
* Add ``root_client_path`` parameter to SmartWSGIApp and
857
SmartServerRequest. This makes it possible to publish filesystem
858
locations that don't exactly match URL paths. SmartServerRequest
859
subclasses should use the new ``translate_client_path`` and
860
``transport_from_client_path`` methods when dealing with paths received
861
from a client to take this into account. (Andrew Bennetts, #124089)
862
863
* ``bzr mv a b`` can be now used also to rename previously renamed
864
directories, not only files. (Lukáš Lalinský, #107967)
865
866
* ``bzr uncommit --local`` can now remove revisions from the local
867
branch to be symmetric with ``bzr commit --local``.
868
(John Arbash Meinel, #93412)
869
870
* Don't ask for a password if there is no real terminal.
871
(Alexander Belchenko, #69851)
872
873
* Fix a bug causing a ValueError crash in ``parse_line_delta_iter`` when
874
fetching revisions from a knit to pack repository or vice versa using
875
bzr:// (including over http or ssh).
876
(#208418, Andrew Bennetts, Martin Pool, Robert Collins)
877
878
* Fixed ``_get_line`` in ``bzrlib.smart.medium``, which was buggy. Also
879
fixed ``_get_bytes`` in the same module to use the push back buffer.
880
These bugs had no known impact in normal use, but were problematic for
881
developers working on the code, and were likely to cause real bugs sooner
882
or later. (Andrew Bennetts)
883
884
* Implement handling of basename parameter for DefaultMail. (James Westby)
885
886
* Incompatibility with Paramiko versions newer than 1.7.2 was fixed.
887
(Andrew Bennetts, #213425)
888
889
* Launchpad locations (lp: URLs) can be pulled. (Aaron Bentley, #181945)
890
891
* Merges that add files to deleted root directories complete. They
892
do create conflicts. (Aaron Bentley, #210092)
893
894
* vsftp's return ``550 RNFR command failed.`` supported.
895
(Marcus Trautwig, #129786)
896
897
DOCUMENTATION:
898
899
* Improved documentation on send/merge relationship. (Peter Schuller)
900
901
* Minor fixes to the User Guide. (Matthew Fuller)
902
903
* Reduced the evangelism in the User Guide. (Ian Clatworthy)
904
905
* Added Integrating with Bazaar document for developers (Martin Albisetti)
906
907
API BREAKS:
908
909
* Attempting to pull data from a ghost aware repository (e.g. knits) into a
910
non-ghost aware repository such as weaves will now fail if there are
911
ghosts. (Robert Collins)
912
913
* ``KnitVersionedFile`` no longer accepts an ``access_mode`` parameter, and
914
now requires the ``index`` and ``access_method`` parameters to be
915
supplied. A compatible shim has been kept in the new function
916
``knit.make_file_knit``. (Robert Collins)
917
918
* Log formatters must now provide log_revision instead of show and
919
show_merge_revno methods. The latter had been deprecated since the 0.17
920
release. (James Westby)
921
922
* ``LoopbackSFTP`` is now called ``SocketAsChannelAdapter``.
923
(Andrew Bennetts)
924
925
* ``osutils.backup_file`` is removed. (Alexander Belchenko)
926
927
* ``Repository.get_revision_graph`` is deprecated, with no replacement
928
method. The method was size(history) and not desirable. (Robert Collins)
929
930
* ``revision.revision_graph`` is deprecated, with no replacement function.
931
The function was size(history) and not desirable. (Robert Collins)
932
933
* ``Transport.get_shared_medium`` is deprecated. Use
934
``Transport.get_smart_medium`` instead. (Andrew Bennetts)
935
936
* ``VersionedFile`` factories now accept a get_scope parameter rather
937
than using a call to ``transaction_finished``, allowing the removal of
938
the fixed list of versioned files per repository. (Robert Collins)
939
940
* ``VersionedFile.annotate_iter`` is deprecated. While in principle this
941
allowed lower memory use, all users of annotations wanted full file
942
annotations, and there is no storage format suitable for incremental
943
line-by-line annotation. (Robert Collins)
944
945
* ``VersionedFile.clone_text`` is deprecated. This performance optimisation
946
is no longer used - reading the content of a file that is undergoing a
947
file level merge to identical state on two branches is rare enough, and
948
not expensive enough to special case. (Robert Collins)
949
950
* ``VersionedFile.clear_cache`` and ``enable_cache`` are deprecated.
951
These methods added significant complexity to the ``VersionedFile``
952
implementation, but were only used for optimising fetches from knits -
953
which can be done from outside the knit layer, or via a caching
954
decorator. As knits are not the default format, the complexity is no
955
longer worth paying. (Robert Collins)
956
957
* ``VersionedFile.create_empty`` is removed. This method presupposed a
958
sensible mapping to a transport for individual files, but pack backed
959
versioned files have no such mapping. (Robert Collins)
960
961
* ``VersionedFile.get_graph`` is deprecated, with no replacement method.
962
The method was size(history) and not desirable. (Robert Collins)
963
964
* ``VersionedFile.get_graph_with_ghosts`` is deprecated, with no
965
replacement method. The method was size(history) and not desirable.
966
(Robert Collins)
967
968
* ``VersionedFile.get_parents`` is deprecated, please use
969
``VersionedFile.get_parent_map``. (Robert Collins)
970
971
* ``VersionedFile.get_sha1`` is deprecated, please use
972
``VersionedFile.get_sha1s``. (Robert Collins)
973
974
* ``VersionedFile.has_ghost`` is now deprecated, as it is both expensive
975
and unused outside of a single test. (Robert Collins)
976
977
* ``VersionedFile.iter_parents`` is now deprecated in favour of
978
``get_parent_map`` which can be used to instantiate a Graph on a
979
VersionedFile. (Robert Collins)
980
981
* ``VersionedFileStore`` no longer uses the transaction parameter given
982
to most methods; amongst other things this means that the
983
get_weave_or_empty method no longer guarantees errors on a missing weave
984
in a readonly transaction, and no longer caches versioned file instances
985
which reduces memory pressure (but requires more careful management by
986
callers to preserve performance). (Robert Collins)
987
988
TESTING:
989
990
* New -Dselftest_debug flag disables clearing of the debug flags during
991
tests. This is useful if you want to use e.g. -Dhpss to help debug a
992
failing test. Be aware that using this feature is likely to cause
993
spurious test failures if used with the full suite. (Andrew Bennetts)
994
995
* selftest --load-list now uses a new more agressive test loader that will
996
avoid loading unneeded modules and building their tests. Plugins can use
997
this new loader by defining a load_tests function instead of a test_suite
998
function. (a forthcoming patch will provide many examples on how to
999
implement this).
1000
(Vincent Ladeuil)
1001
1002
* selftest --load-list now does some sanity checks regarding duplicate test
1003
IDs and tests present in the list but not found in the actual test suite.
1004
(Vincent Ladeuil)
1005
1006
* Slightly more concise format for the selftest progress bar, so there's
1007
more space to show the test name. (Martin Pool) ::
1008
1009
[2500/10884, 1fail, 3miss in 1m29s] test_revisionnamespaces.TestRev
1010
1011
* The test suite takes much less memory to run, and is a bit faster. This
1012
is done by clearing most attributes of TestCases after running them, if
1013
they succeeded. (Andrew Bennetts)
1014
1015
INTERNALS:
1016
1017
* Added ``_build_client_protocol`` to ``_SmartClient``. (Andrew Bennetts)
1018
1019
* Added basic infrastructure for automatic plugin suggestion.
1020
(Martin Albisetti)
1021
1022
* If a ``LockableFiles`` object is not explicitly unlocked (for example
1023
because of a missing ``try/finally`` block, it will give a warning but
1024
not automatically unlock itself. (Previously they did.) This
1025
sometimes caused knock-on errors if for example the network connection
1026
had already failed, and should not be relied upon by code.
1027
(Martin Pool, #109520)
1028
1029
* ``make dist`` target to build a release tarball, and also
1030
``check-dist-tarball`` and ``dist-upload-escudero``. (Martin Pool)
1031
1032
* The ``read_response_tuple`` method of ``SmartClientRequestProtocol*``
1033
classes will now raise ``UnknownSmartMethod`` when appropriate, so that
1034
callers don't need to try distinguish unknown request errors from other
1035
errors. (Andrew Bennetts)
1036
1037
* ``set_make_working_trees`` is now implemented provided on all repository
1038
implementations (Aaron Bentley)
1039
1040
* ``VersionedFile`` now has a new method ``get_parent_map`` which, like
1041
``Graph.get_parent_map`` returns a dict of key:parents. (Robert Collins)

BUG FIXES:
1054
1055
* Fix a bug causing a ValueError crash in ``parse_line_delta_iter`` when

bzr 1.3 2008-03-20
1062
------------------
1063
1064
Bazaar has become part of the GNU project <http://www.gnu.org>
1065
1066
Many operations that act on history, including ``log`` and ``annotate`` are now
1067
substantially faster. Several bugs have been fixed and several new options and
1068
features have been added.
1069
1070
TESTING:
1071
1072
* Avoid spurious failure of ``TestVersion.test_version`` matching

NOTES WHEN UPGRADING:
1081
1082
* The backup directory created by ``upgrade`` is now called
1083
``backup.bzr``, not ``.bzr.backup``. (Martin Albisetti)
1084
1085
CHANGES:
1086
1087
* A new repository format 'development' has been added. This format will
1088
represent the latest 'in-progress' format that the bzr developers are
1089
interested in getting early-adopter testing and feedback on.
1090
``doc/developers/development-repo.txt`` has detailed information.
1091
(Robert Collins)
1092
1093
* BZR_LOG environment variable controls location of .bzr.log trace file.
1094
User can suppress writing messages to .bzr.log by using '/dev/null'
1095
filename (on Linux) or 'NUL' (on Windows). If BZR_LOG variable
1096
is not defined but BZR_HOME is defined then default location
1097
for .bzr.log trace file is ``$BZR_HOME/.bzr.log``.
1098
(Alexander Belchenko)
1099
1100
* ``launchpad`` builtin plugin now shipped as separate part in standalone
1101
bzr.exe, installed to ``C:\Program Files\Bazaar\plugins`` directory,
1102
and standalone installer allows user to skip installation of this plugin.
1103
(Alexander Belchenko)
1104
1105
* Restore auto-detection of plink.exe on Windows. (Dmitry Vasiliev)
1106
1107
* Version number is now shown as "1.2" or "1.2pr2", without zeroed or
1108
missing final fields. (Martin Pool)
1109
1110
FEATURES:
1111
1112
* ``branch`` and ``checkout`` can hard-link working tree files, which is
1113
faster and saves space. (Aaron Bentley)
1114
1115
* ``bzr send`` will now also look at the ``child_submit_to`` setting in
1116
the submit branch to determine the email address to send to.
1117
(Jelmer Vernooij)
1118
1119
IMPROVEMENTS:
1120
1121
* BzrBranch._lefthand_history is faster on pack repos. (Aaron Bentley)
1122
1123
* Branch6.generate_revision_history is faster. (Aaron Bentley)
1124
1125
* Directory services can now be registered, allowing special URLs to be
1126
dereferenced into real URLs. This is a generalization and cleanup of
1127
the lp: transport lookup. (Aaron Bentley)
1128
1129
* Merge directives that are automatically attached to emails have nicer
1130
filenames, based on branch-nick + revno. (Aaron Bentley)
1131
1132
* ``push`` has a ``--revision`` option, to specify what revision to push up
1133
to. (Daniel Watkins)
1134
1135
* Significantly reducing execution time and network traffic for trivial
1136
case of running ``bzr missing`` command for two identical branches.
1137
(Alexander Belchenko)
1138
1139
* Speed up operations that look at the revision graph (such as 'bzr log').
1140
``KnitPackRepositor.get_revision_graph`` uses ``Graph.iter_ancestry`` to
1141
extract the revision history. This allows filtering ghosts while
1142
stepping instead of needing to peek ahead. (John Arbash Meinel)
1143
1144
* The ``hooks`` command lists installed hooks, to assist in debugging.
1145
(Daniel Watkins)
1146
1147
* Updates to how ``annotate`` work. Should see a measurable improvement in
1148
performance and memory consumption for file with a lot of merges.
1149
Also, correctly handle when a line is introduced by both parents (it
1150
should be attributed to the first merge which notices this, and not
1151
to all subsequent merges.) (John Arbash Meinel)
1152
1153
BUGFIXES:
1154
1155
* Autopacking no longer holds the full set of inventory lines in
1156
memory while copying. For large repositories, this can amount to
1157
hundreds of MB of ram consumption.
1158
(Ian Clatworthy, John Arbash Meinel)
1159
1160
* Cherrypicking when using ``--format=merge3`` now explictly excludes
1161
BASE lines. (John Arbash Meinel, #151731)
1162
1163
* Disable plink's interactive prompt for password.
1164
(#107593, Dmitry Vasiliev)
1165
1166
* Encode command line arguments from unicode to user_encoding before
1167
invoking external mail client in `bzr send` command.
1168
(#139318, Alexander Belchenko)
1169
1170
* Fixed problem connecting to ``bzr+https://`` servers.
1171
(#198793, John Ferlito)
1172
1173
* Improved error reporting in the Launchpad plugin. (Daniel Watkins,
1174
#196618)
1175
1176
* Include quick-start-summary.svg file to python-based installer(s)
1177
for Windows. (#192924, Alexander Belchenko)
1178
1179
* lca merge now respects specified files. (Aaron Bentley)
1180
1181
* Make version-info --custom imply --all. (#195560, James Westby)
1182
1183
* ``merge --preview`` now works for merges that add or modify
1184
symlinks (James Henstridge)
1185
1186
* Redirecting the output from ``bzr merge`` (when the remembered
1187
location is used) now works. (John Arbash Meinel)
1188
1189
* setup.py script explicitly checks for Python version.
1190
(Jari Aalto, Alexander Belchenko, #200569)
1191
1192
* UnknownFormatErrors no longer refer to branches regardless of kind of
1193
unknown format. (Daniel Watkins, #173980)
1194
1195
* Upgrade bundled ConfigObj to version 4.5.2, which properly quotes #
1196
signs, among other small improvements. (Matt Nordhoff, #86838)
1197
1198
* Use correct indices when emitting LCA conflicts. This fixes IndexError
1199
errors. (Aaron Bentley, #196780)
1200
1201
DOCUMENTATION:
1202
1203
* Explained how to use ``version-info --custom`` in the User Guide.
1204
(Neil Martinsen-Burrell)
1205
1206
API BREAKS:
1207
1208
* Support for loading plugins from zip files and
1209
``bzrlib.plugin.load_from_zip()`` function are deprecated.
1210
(Alexander Belchenko)
1211
1212
TESTING:
1213
1214
* Added missing blackbox tests for ``modified`` (Adrian Wilkins)
1215
1216
* The branch interface tests were invalid for branches using rich-root
1217
repositories because the empty string is not a valid file-id.
1218
(Robert Collins)
1219
1220
INTERNALS:
1221
1222
* ``Graph.iter_ancestry`` returns the ancestry of revision ids. Similar to
1223
``Repository.get_revision_graph()`` except it includes ghosts and you can
1224
stop part-way through. (John Arbash Meinel)
1225
1226
* New module ``tools/package_mf.py`` provide custom module finder for
1227
python packages (improves standard python library's modulefinder.py)
1228
used by ``setup.py`` script while building standalone bzr.exe.
1229
(Alexander Belchenko)
1230
1231
* New remote method ``RemoteBzrDir.find_repositoryV2`` adding support for
1232
detecting external lookup support on remote repositories. This method is
1233
now attempted first when lookup up repositories, leading to an extra
1234
round trip on older bzr smart servers. (Robert Collins)
1235
1236
* Repository formats have a new supported-feature attribute
1237
``supports_external_lookups`` used to indicate repositories which support
1238
falling back to other repositories when they have partial data.
1239
(Robert Collins)
1240
1241
* ``Repository.get_revision_graph_with_ghosts`` and
1242
``bzrlib.revision.(common_ancestor,MultipleRevisionSources,common_graph)``
1243
have been deprecated. (John Arbash Meinel)
1244
1245
* ``Tree.iter_changes`` is now a public API, replacing the work-in-progress
1246
``Tree._iter_changes``. The api is now considered stable and ready for
1247
external users. (Aaron Bentley)
1248
1249
* The bzrdir format registry now accepts an ``alias`` keyword to
1250
register_metadir, used to indicate that a format name is an alias for
1251
some other format and thus should not be reported when describing the
1252
format. (Robert Collins)

---------------------
1265
1266
NOTES WHEN UPGRADING:
1267
1268
* Fetching via the smart protocol may need to reconnect once during a fetch
1269
if the remote server is running Bazaar 1.1 or earlier, because the client
1270
attempts to use more efficient requests that confuse older servers. You
1271
may be required to re-enter a password or passphrase when this happens.
1272
This won't happen if the server is upgraded to Bazaar 1.2.
1273
(Andrew Bennetts)
1274
1275
CHANGES:
1276
1277
* Fetching via bzr+ssh will no longer fill ghosts by default (this is
1278
consistent with pack-0.92 fetching over SFTP). (Robert Collins)
1279
1280
* Formatting of ``bzr plugins`` output is changed to be more human-
1281
friendly. Full path of plugins locations will be shown only with
1282
``--verbose`` command-line option. (Alexander Belchenko)
1283
1284
* ``merge`` now prefers to use the submit branch, but will fall back to
1285
parent branch. For many users, this has no effect. But some users who
1286
pull and merge on the same branch will notice a change. This change
1287
makes it easier to work on a branch on two different machines, pulling
1288
between the machines, while merging from the upstream.
1289
``merge --remember`` can now be used to set the submit_branch.
1290
(Aaron Bentley)
1291
1292
FEATURES:
1293
1294
* ``merge --preview`` produces a diff of the changes merge would make,
1295
but does not actually perform the merge. (Aaron Bentley)
1296
1297
* New smart method ``Repository.get_parent_map`` for getting revision
1298
parent data. This returns additional parent information topologically
1299
adjacent to the requested data to reduce round trip latency impacts.
1300
(Robert Collins)
1301
1302
* New smart method, ``Repository.stream_revisions_chunked``, for fetching
1303
revision data that streams revision data via a chunked encoding. This
1304
avoids buffering large amounts of revision data on the server and on the
1305
client, and sends less data to the server to request the revisions.
1306
(Andrew Bennetts, Robert Collins, #178353)
1307
1308
* The launchpad plugin now handles lp urls of the form
1309
``lp://staging/``, ``lp://demo/``, ``lp://dev/`` to use the appropriate
1310
launchpad instance to do the resolution of the branch identities.
1311
This is primarily of use to Launchpad developers, but can also
1312
be used by other users who want to try out Launchpad as
1313
a branch location without messing up their public Launchpad
1314
account. Branches that are pushed to the staging environment
1315
have an expected lifetime of one day. (Tim Penhey)
1316
1317
IMPROVEMENTS:
1318
1319
* Creating a new branch no longer tries to read the entire revision-history
1320
unnecessarily over smart server operations. (Robert Collins)
1321
1322
* Fetching between different repository formats with compatible models now
1323
takes advantage of the smart method to stream revisions. (Andrew Bennetts)
1324
1325
* The ``--coverage`` option is now global, rather specific to ``bzr
1326
selftest``. (Andrew Bennetts)
1327
1328
* The ``register-branch`` command will now use the public url of the branch
1329
containing the current directory, if one has been set and no explicit
1330
branch is provided. (Robert Collins)
1331
1332
* Tweak the ``reannotate`` code path to optimize the 2-parent case.
1333
Speeds up ``bzr annotate`` with a pack repository by approx 3:2.
1334
(John Arbash Meinel)
1335
1336
BUGFIXES:
1337
1338
* Calculate remote path relative to the shared medium in _SmartClient. This
1339
is related to the problem in bug #124089. (Andrew Bennetts)
1340
1341
* Cleanly handle connection errors in smart protocol version two, the same
1342
way as they are handled by version one. (Andrew Bennetts)
1343
1344
* Clearer error when ``version-info --custom`` is used without
1345
``--template`` (Lukáš Lalinský)
1346
1347
* Don't raise UnavailableFeature during test setup when medusa is not
1348
available or tearDown is never called leading to nasty side effects.
1349
(#137823, Vincent Ladeuil)
1350
1351
* If a plugin's test suite cannot be loaded, for example because of a syntax
1352
error in the tests, then ``selftest`` fails, rather than just printing
1353
a warning. (Martin Pool, #189771)
1354
1355
* List possible values for BZR_SSH environment variable in env-variables
1356
help topic. (Alexander Belchenko, #181842)
1357
1358
* New methods ``push_log_file`` and ``pop_log_file`` to intercept messages:
1359
popping the log redirection now precisely restores the previous state,
1360
which makes it easier to use bzr log output from other programs.
1361
TestCaseInTempDir no longer depends on a log redirection being established
1362
by the test framework, which lets bzr tests cleanly run from a normal
1363
unittest runner.
1364
(#124153, #124849, Martin Pool, Jonathan Lange)
1365
1366
* ``pull --quiet`` is now more quiet, in particular a message is no longer
1367
printed when the remembered pull location is used. (James Westby,
1368
#185907)
1369
1370
* ``reconfigure`` can safely be interrupted while fetching.
1371
(Aaron Bentley, #179316)
1372
1373
* ``reconfigure`` preserves tags when converting to and from lightweight
1374
checkouts. (Aaron Bentley, #182040)
1375
1376
* Stop polluting /tmp when running selftest.
1377
(Vincent Ladeuil, #123623)
1378
1379
* Switch from NFKC => NFC for normalization checks. NFC allows a few
1380
more characters which should be considered valid.
1381
(John Arbash Meinel, #185458)
1382
1383
* The launchpad plugin now uses the ``edge`` xmlrpc server to avoid
1384
interacting badly with a bug on the launchpad side. (Robert Collins)
1385
1386
* Unknown hostnames when connecting to a ``bzr://`` URL no longer cause
1387
tracebacks. (Andrew Bennetts, #182849)
1388
1389
API BREAKS:
1390
1391
* Classes implementing Merge types like Merge3Merger must now accept (and
1392
honour) a do_merge flag in their constructor. (Aaron Bentley)
1393
1394
* ``Repository.add_inventory`` and ``add_revision`` now require the caller
1395
to previously take a write lock (and start a write group.)
1396
(Martin Pool)
1397
1398
TESTING:
1399
1400
* selftest now accepts --load-list <file> to load a test id list. This
1401
speeds up running the test suite on a limited set of tests.
1402
(Vincent Ladeuil)
1403
1404
INTERNALS:
1405
1406
* Add a new method ``get_result`` to graph search objects. The resulting
1407
``SearchResult`` can be used to recreate the search later, which will
1408
be useful in reducing network traffic. (Robert Collins)
1409
1410
* Use convenience function to check whether two repository handles
1411
are referring to the same repository in ``Repository.get_graph``.
1412
(Jelmer Vernooij, #187162)
1413
1414
* Fetching now passes the find_ghosts flag through to the
1415
``InterRepository.missing_revision_ids`` call consistently for all
1416
repository types. This will enable faster missing revision discovery with
1417
bzr+ssh. (Robert Collins)
1418
1419
* Fix error handling in Repository.insert_data_stream. (Lukas Lalinsky)
1420
1421
* ``InterRepository.missing_revision_ids`` is now deprecated in favour of
1422
``InterRepository.search_missing_revision_ids`` which returns a
1423
``bzrlib.graph.SearchResult`` suitable for making requests from the smart
1424
server. (Robert Collins)
1425
1426
* New error ``NoPublicBranch`` for commands that need a public branch to
1427
operate. (Robert Collins)
1428
1429
* New method ``iter_inventories`` on Repository for access to many
1430
inventories. This is primarily used by the ``revision_trees`` method, as
1431
direct access to inventories is discouraged. (Robert Collins)
1432
1433
* New method ``next_with_ghosts`` on the Graph breadth-first-search objects
1434
which will split out ghosts and present parents into two separate sets,
1435
useful for code which needs to be aware of ghosts (e.g. fetching data
1436
cares about ghosts during revision selection). (Robert Collins)
1437
1438
* Record a timestamp against each mutter to the trace file, relative to the
1439
first import of bzrlib. (Andrew Bennetts)
1440
1441
* ``Repository.get_data_stream`` is now deprecated in favour of
1442
``Repository.get_data_stream_for_search`` which allows less network
1443
traffic when requesting data streams over a smart server. (Robert Collins)
1444
1445
* ``RemoteBzrDir._get_tree_branch`` no longer triggers ``_ensure_real``,
1446
removing one round trip on many network operations. (Robert Collins)
1447
1448
* RemoteTransport's ``recommended_page_size`` method now returns 64k, like
1449
SFTPTransport and HttpTransportBase. (Andrew Bennetts)
1450
1451
* Repository has a new method ``has_revisions`` which signals the presence
1452
of many revisions by returning a set of the revisions listed which are
1453
present. This can be done by index queries without reading data for parent
1454
revision names etc. (Robert Collins)

1461
1462
bzr 1.1rc1 2008-01-05
1463
---------------------
1464
1465
CHANGES:
1466
1467
* Dotted revision numbers have been revised. Instead of growing longer with
1468
nested branches the branch number just increases. (eg instead of 1.1.1.1.1
1469
we now report 1.2.1.) This helps scale long lived branches which have many
1470
feature branches merged between them. (John Arbash Meinel)
1471
1472
* The syntax ``bzr diff branch1 branch2`` is no longer supported.
1473
Use ``bzr diff branch1 --new branch2`` instead. This change has
1474
been made to remove the ambiguity where ``branch2`` is in fact a
1475
specific file to diff within ``branch1``.
1476
1477
FEATURES:
1478
1479
* New option to use custom template-based formats in ``bzr version-info``.
1480
(Lukáš Lalinský)
1481
1482
* diff '--using' allows an external diff tool to be used for files.
1483
(Aaron Bentley)
1484
1485
* New "lca" merge-type for fast everyday merging that also supports
1486
criss-cross merges. (Aaron Bentley)
1487
1488
IMPROVEMENTS:
1489
1490
* ``annotate`` now doesn't require a working tree. (Lukáš Lalinský,
1491
#90049)
1492
1493
* ``branch`` and ``checkout`` can now use files from a working tree to
1494
to speed up the process. For checkout, this requires the new
1495
--files-from flag. (Aaron Bentley)
1496
1497
* ``bzr diff`` now sorts files in alphabetical order. (Aaron Bentley)
1498
1499
* ``bzr diff`` now works on branches without working trees. Tree-less
1500
branches can also be compared to each other and to working trees using
1501
the new diff options ``--old`` and ``--new``. Diffing between branches,
1502
with or without trees, now supports specific file filtering as well.
1503
(Ian Clatworthy, #6700)
1504
1505
* ``bzr pack`` now orders revision texts in topological order, with newest
1506
at the start of the file, promoting linear reads for ``bzr log`` and the
1507
like. This partially fixes #154129. (Robert Collins)
1508
1509
* Merge directives now fetch prerequisites from the target branch if
1510
needed. (Aaron Bentley)
1511
1512
* pycurl now handles digest authentication.
1513
(Vincent Ladeuil)
1514
1515
* ``reconfigure`` can now convert from repositories. (Aaron Bentley)
1516
1517
* ``-l`` is now a short form for ``--limit`` in ``log``. (Matt Nordhoff)
1518
1519
* ``merge`` now warns when merge directives cause cherrypicks.
1520
(Aaron Bentley)
1521
1522
* ``split`` now supported, to enable splitting large trees into smaller
1523
pieces. (Aaron Bentley)
1524
1525
BUGFIXES:
1526
1527
* Avoid AttributeError when unlocking a pack repository when an error occurs.
1528
(Martin Pool, #180208)
1529
1530
* Better handle short reads when processing multiple range requests.
1531
(Vincent Ladeuil, #179368)
1532
1533
* build_tree acceleration uses the correct path when a file has been moved.
1534
(Aaron Bentley)
1535
1536
* ``commit`` now succeeds when a checkout and its master branch share a
1537
repository. (Aaron Bentley, #177592)
1538
1539
* Fixed error reporting of unsupported timezone format in
1540
``log --timezone``. (Lukáš Lalinský, #178722)
1541
1542
* Fixed Unicode encoding error in ``ignored`` when the output is
1543
redirected to a pipe. (Lukáš Lalinský)
1544
1545
* Fix traceback when sending large response bodies over the smart protocol
1546
on Windows. (Andrew Bennetts, #115781)
1547
1548
* Fix ``urlutils.relative_url`` for the case of two ``file:///`` URLs
1549
pointed to different logical drives on Windows.
1550
(Alexander Belchenko, #90847)
1551
1552
* HTTP test servers are now compatible with the http protocol version 1.1.
1553
(Vincent Ladeuil, #175524)
1554
1555
* _KnitParentsProvider.get_parent_map now handles requests for ghosts
1556
correctly, instead of erroring or attributing incorrect parents to ghosts.
1557
(Aaron Bentley)
1558
1559
* ``merge --weave --uncommitted`` now works. (Aaron Bentley)
1560
1561
* pycurl authentication handling was broken and incomplete. Fix handling of
1562
user:pass embedded in the urls.
1563
(Vincent Ladeuil, #177643)
1564
1565
* Files inside non-directories are now handled like other conflict types.
1566
(Aaron Bentley, #177390)
1567
1568
* ``reconfigure`` is able to convert trees into lightweight checkouts.
1569
(Aaron Bentley)
1570
1571
* Reduce lockdir timeout to 0 when running ``bzr serve``. (Andrew Bennetts,
1572
#148087)
1573
1574
* Test that the old ``version_info_format`` functions still work, even
1575
though they are deprecated. (John Arbash Meinel, ShenMaq, #177872)
1576
1577
* Transform failures no longer cause ImmortalLimbo errors (Aaron Bentley,
1578
#137681)
1579
1580
* ``uncommit`` works even when the commit messages of revisions to be
1581
removed use characters not supported in the terminal encoding.
1582
(Aaron Bentley)
1583
1584
* When dumb http servers return whole files instead of the requested ranges,
1585
read the remaining bytes by chunks to avoid overflowing network buffers.
1586
(Vincent Ladeuil, #175886)
1587
1588
DOCUMENTATION:
1589
1590
* Minor tweaks made to the bug tracker integration documentation.
1591
(Ian Clatworthy)
1592
1593
* Reference material has now be moved out of the User Guide and added
1594
to the User Reference. The User Reference has gained 4 sections as
1595
a result: Authenication Settings, Configuration Settings, Conflicts
1596
and Hooks. All help topics are now dumped into text format in the
1597
doc/en/user-reference directory for those who like browsing that
1598
information in their editor. (Ian Clatworthy)
1599
1600
* *Using Bazaar with Launchpad* tutorial added. (Ian Clatworthy)
1601
1602
INTERNALS:
1603
1604
* find_* methods available for BzrDirs, Branches and WorkingTrees.
1605
(Aaron Bentley)
1606
1607
* Help topics can now be loaded from files.
1608
(Ian Clatworthy, Alexander Belchenko)
1609
1610
* get_parent_map now always provides tuples as its output. (Aaron Bentley)
1611
1612
* Parent Providers should now implement ``get_parent_map`` returning a
1613
dictionary instead of ``get_parents`` returning a list.
1614
``Graph.get_parents`` is now deprecated. (John Arbash Meinel,
1615
Robert Collins)
1616
1617
* Patience Diff now supports arbitrary python objects, as long as they
1618
support ``hash()``. (John Arbash Meinel)
1619
1620
* Reduce selftest overhead to establish test names by memoization.
1621
(Vincent Ladeuil)
1622
1623
API BREAKS:
1624
1625
TESTING:
1626
1627
* Modules can now customise their tests by defining a ``load_tests``
1628
attribute. ``pydoc bzrlib.tests.TestUtil.TestLoader.loadTestsFromModule``
1629
for the documentation on this attribute. (Robert Collins)
1630
1631
* New helper function ``bzrlib.tests.condition_id_re`` which helps
1632
filter tests based on a regular expression search on the tests id.
1633
(Robert Collins)
1634
1635
* New helper function ``bzrlib.tests.condition_isinstance`` which helps
1636
filter tests based on class. (Robert Collins)
1637
1638
* New helper function ``bzrlib.tests.exclude_suite_by_condition`` which
1639
generalises the ``exclude_suite_by_re`` function. (Robert Collins)
1640
1641
* New helper function ``bzrlib.tests.filter_suite_by_condition`` which
1642
generalises the ``filter_suite_by_re`` function. (Robert Collins)
1643
1644
* New helper method ``bzrlib.tests.exclude_tests_by_re`` which gives a new
1645
TestSuite that does not contain tests from the input that matched a
1646
regular expression. (Robert Collins)
1647
1648
* New helper method ``bzrlib.tests.randomize_suite`` which returns a
1649
randomized copy of the input suite. (Robert Collins)
1650
1651
* New helper method ``bzrlib.tests.split_suite_by_re`` which splits a test
1652
suite into two according to a regular expression. (Robert Collins)
1653
1654
* Parametrize all http tests for the transport implementations, the http
1655
protocol versions (1.0 and 1.1) and the authentication schemes.
1656
(Vincent Ladeuil)
1657
1658
* The ``exclude_pattern`` and ``random_order`` parameters to the function
1659
``bzrlib.tests.filter_suite_by_re`` have been deprecated. (Robert Collins)
1660
1661
* The method ``bzrlib.tests.sort_suite_by_re`` has been deprecated. It is
1662
replaced by the new helper methods added in this release. (Robert Collins)

1690
(Martin Pool)
1691
1692
BUGFIXES:
1693
1694
* Fix Makefile rules for doc generation. (Ian Clatworthy, #175207)
1695
1696
* Give more feedback during long http downloads by making readv deliver data
1697
as it arrives for urllib, and issue more requests for pycurl. High latency
1698
networks are better handled by urllib, the pycurl implementation give more
1699
feedback but also incur more latency.
1700
(Vincent Ladeuil, #173010)
1701
1702
* Implement _make_parents_provider on RemoteRepository, allowing generating
1703
bundles against branches on a smart server. (Andrew Bennetts, #147836)

1726
1727
* Annotate merge (merge-type=weave) now supports cherrypicking.
1728
(Aaron Bentley)
1729
1730
* ``bzr commit`` now doesn't print the revision number twice. (Matt
1731
Nordhoff, #172612)
1732
1733
* New configuration option ``bugtracker_<tracker_abbrevation>_url`` to
1734
define locations of bug trackers that are not directly supported by
1735
bzr or a plugin. The URL will be treated as a template and ``{id}``
1736
placeholders will be replaced by specific bug IDs. (Lukáš Lalinský)
1737
1738
* Support logging single merge revisions with short and line log formatters.
1739
(Kent Gibson)
1740
1741
* User Guide enhanced with suggested readability improvements from
1742
Matt Revell and corrections from John Arbash Meinel. (Ian Clatworthy)
1743
1744
* Quick Start Guide renamed to Quick Start Card, moved down in
1745
the catalog, provided in pdf and png format and updated to refer
1746
to ``send`` instead of ``bundle``. (Ian Clatworthy, #165080)
1747
1748
* ``switch`` can now be used on heavyweight checkouts as well as
1749
lightweight ones. After switching a heavyweight checkout, the
1750
local branch is a mirror/cache of the new bound branch and
1751
uncommitted changes in the working tree are merged. As a safety
1752
check, if there are local commits in a checkout which have not
1753
been committed to the previously bound branch, then ``switch``
1754
fails unless the ``--force`` option is given. This option is
1755
now also required if the branch a lightweight checkout is pointing
1756
to has been moved. (Ian Clatworthy)

* Catch OSError 17 (file exists) in final phase of tree transform and show
1771
filename to user.
1772
(Alexander Belchenko, #111758)
1773
1774
* Catch ShortReadvErrors while using pycurl. Also make readv more robust by
1775
allowing multiple GET requests to be issued if too many ranges are
1776
required.
1777
(Vincent Ladeuil, #172701)
1778
1779
* Check for missing basis texts when fetching from packs to packs.
1780
(John Arbash Meinel, #165290)
1781
1782
* Fall back to showing e-mail in ``log --short/--line`` if the

committer/author has only e-mail. (Lukáš Lalinský, #157026)
1784
1785

1792
---------------------
1793
1794
NOTES WHEN UPGRADING:
1795
1796
* The default repository format is now ``pack-0.92``. This
1797
default is used when creating new repositories with ``init`` and
1798
``init-repo``, and when branching over bzr+ssh or bzr+hpss.
1799
(See https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/164626)
1800
1801
This format can be read and written by Bazaar 0.92 and later, and
1802
data can be transferred to and from older formats.
1803
1804
To upgrade, please reconcile your repository (``bzr reconcile``), and then
1805
upgrade (``bzr upgrade``).
1806
1807
``pack-0.92`` offers substantially better scaling and performance than the
1808
previous knits format. Some operations are slower where the code already
1809
had bad scaling characteristics under knits, the pack format makes such
1810
operations more visible as part of being more scalable overall. We will
1811
correct such operations over the coming releases and encourage the filing
1812
of bugs on any operation which you observe to be slower in a packs
1813
repository. One particular case that we do not intend to fix is pulling
1814
data from a pack repository into a knit repository over a high latency
1815
link; downgrading such data requires reinsertion of the file texts, and
1816
this is a classic space/time tradeoff. The current implementation is
1817
conservative on memory usage because we need to support converting data
1818
from any tree without problems.
1819
(Robert Collins, Martin Pool, #164476)
1820
1821
CHANGES:
1822
1823
* Disable detection of plink.exe as possible ssh vendor. Plink vendor
1824
still available if user selects it explicitly with BZR_SSH environment
1825
variable. (Alexander Belchenko, workaround for bug #107593)
1826
1827
* The pack format is now accessible as "pack-0.92", or "pack-0.92-subtree"
1828
to enable the subtree functions (for example, for bzr-svn).
1829
See http://doc.bazaar-vcs.org/latest/developer/packrepo.html
1830
(Martin Pool)
1831
1832
FEATURES:
1833
1834
* New ``authentication.conf`` file holding the password or other credentials
1835
for remote servers. This can be used for ssh, sftp, smtp and other
1836
supported transports.
1837
(Vincent Ladeuil)
1838
1839
* New rich-root and rich-root-pack formats, recording the same data about
1840
tree roots that's recorded for all other directories.
1841
(Aaron Bentley, #164639)
1842
1843
* ``pack-0.92`` repositories can now be reconciled.
1844
(Robert Collins, #154173)
1845
1846
* ``switch`` command added for changing the branch a lightweight checkout
1847
is associated with and updating the tree to reflect the latest content
1848
accordingly. This command was previously part of the BzrTools plug-in.
1849
(Ian Clatworthy, Aaron Bentley, David Allouche)
1850
1851
* ``reconfigure`` command can now convert branches, trees, or checkouts to
1852
lightweight checkouts. (Aaron Bentley)
1853
1854
PERFORMANCE:
1855
1856
* Commit updates the state of the working tree via a delta rather than
1857
supplying entirely new basis trees. For commit of a single specified file
1858
this reduces the wall clock time for commit by roughly a 30%.
1859
(Robert Collins, Martin Pool)
1860
1861
* Commit with many automatically found deleted paths no longer performs
1862
linear scanning for the children of those paths during inventory
1863
iteration. This should fix commit performance blowing out when many such
1864
paths occur during commit. (Robert Collins, #156491)
1865
1866
* Fetch with pack repositories will no longer read the entire history graph.
1867
(Robert Collins, #88319)
1868
1869
* Revert takes out an appropriate lock when reverting to a basis tree, and
1870
does not read the basis inventory twice. (Robert Collins)
1871
1872
* Diff does not require an inventory to be generated on dirstate trees.
1873
(Aaron Bentley, #149254)
1874
1875
* New annotate merge (--merge-type=weave) implementation is fast on
1876
versionedfiles withough cached annotations, e.g. pack-0.92.
1877
(Aaron Bentley)
1878
1879
IMPROVEMENTS:
1880
1881
* ``bzr merge`` now warns when it encounters a criss-cross merge.

1884
* ``bzr send`` now doesn't require the target e-mail address to be
1885
specified on the command line if an interactive e-mail client is used.
1886
(Lukáš Lalinský)
1887
1888
* ``bzr tags`` now prints the revision number for each tag, instead of
1889
the revision id, unless --show-ids is passed. In addition, tags can be
1890
sorted chronologically instead of lexicographically with --sort=time.
1891
(Adeodato Simó, #120231)
1892
1893
* Windows standalone version of bzr is able to load system-wide plugins from
1894
"plugins" subdirectory in installation directory. In addition standalone
1895
installer write to the registry (HKLM\SOFTWARE\Bazaar) useful info
1896
about paths and bzr version. (Alexander Belchenko, #129298)

compression parents are sent before any delta hunks that depend
1949
on them.
1950
(Martin Pool, #164637)
1951
1952

1953
whole files being downloaded instead of parts.
1954
(Vincent Ladeuil, #165061)

1960
to be reconciled.
1961
(Martin Pool, #164443)
1962
1963
* It is clearer when a plugin cannot be loaded because of its name, and a
1964
suggestion for an acceptable name is given. (Daniel Watkins, #103023)
1965
1966
* Leave port as None in transport objects if user doesn't
1967
specify a port in urls.
1968
(vincent Ladeuil, #150860)
1969
1970

2002
(Alexander Belchenko, workaround for #81689)
2003
2004
* Revert doesn't crash when restoring a single file from a deleted
2005
directory. (Aaron Bentley)
2006
2007
* Stderr output via logging mechanism now goes through encoded wrapper
2008
and no more uses utf-8, but terminal encoding instead. So all unicode
2009
strings now should be readable in non-utf-8 terminal.
2010
(Alexander Belchenko, #54173)
2011
2012
* The error message when ``move --after`` should be used makes how to do so
2013
clearer. (Daniel Watkins, #85237)
2014
2015
* Unicode-safe output from ``bzr info``. The output will be encoded
2016
using the terminal encoding and unrepresentable characters will be
2017
replaced by '?'. (Lukáš Lalinský, #151844)
2018
2019
* Working trees are no longer created when pushing into a local no-trees
2020
repo. (Daniel Watkins, #50582)
2021
2022
* Upgrade util/configobj to version 4.4.0.
2023
(Vincent Ladeuil, #151208).

2026
(Vincent Ladeuil, #157752)
2027
2028
API BREAKS:
2029
2030
* ``osutils.backup_file`` is deprecated. Actually it's not used in bzrlib
2031
during very long time. (Alexander Belchenko)
2032
2033
* The return value of
2034
``VersionedFile.iter_lines_added_or_present_in_versions`` has been
2035
changed. Previously it was an iterator of lines, now it is an iterator of
2036
(line, version_id) tuples. This change has been made to aid reconcile and
2037
fetch operations. (Robert Collins)
2038
2039
* ``bzrlib.repository.get_versioned_file_checker`` is now private.
2040
(Robert Collins)
2041
2042
* The Repository format registry default has been removed; it was previously
2043
obsoleted by the bzrdir format default, which implies a default repository
2044
format.
2045
(Martin Pool)
2046
2047
INTERNALS:
2048
2049
* Added ``ContainerSerialiser`` and ``ContainerPushParser`` to
2050
``bzrlib.pack``. These classes provide more convenient APIs for generating
2051
and parsing containers from streams rather than from files. (Andrew
2052
Bennetts)
2053
2054
* New module ``lru_cache`` providing a cache for use by tasks that need
2055
semi-random access to large amounts of data. (John A Meinel)
2056
2057
* InventoryEntry.diff is now deprecated. Please use diff.DiffTree instead.

NOTES WHEN UPGRADING:
2074
2075
CHANGES:
2076
2077
* ``bzr`` now returns exit code 4 if an internal error occurred, and
2078
3 if a normal error occurred. (Martin Pool)
2079
2080
* ``pull``, ``merge`` and ``push`` will no longer silently correct some
2081
repository index errors that occured as a result of the Weave disk format.
2082
Instead the ``reconcile`` command needs to be run to correct those
2083
problems if they exist (and it has been able to fix most such problems
2084
since bzr 0.8). Some new problems have been identified during this release
2085
and you should run ``bzr check`` once on every repository to see if you
2086
need to reconcile. If you cannot ``pull`` or ``merge`` from a remote
2087
repository due to mismatched parent errors - a symptom of index errors -
2088
you should simply take a full copy of that remote repository to a clean
2089
directory outside any local repositories, then run reconcile on it, and
2090
finally pull from it locally. (And naturally email the repositories owner
2091
to ask them to upgrade and run reconcile).
2092
(Robert Collins)
2093
2094
FEATURES:
2095
2096
* New ``knitpack-experimental`` repository format. This is interoperable with
2097
the ``dirstate-tags`` format but uses a smarter storage design that greatly
2098
speeds up many operations, both local and remote. This new format can be
2099
used as an option to the ``init``, ``init-repository`` and ``upgrade``
2100
commands. See http://doc.bazaar-vcs.org/0.92/developers/knitpack.html
2101
for further details. (Robert Collins)
2102
2103
* For users of bzr-svn (and those testing the prototype subtree support) that
2104
wish to try packs, a new ``knitpack-subtree-experimental`` format has also
2105
been added. This is interoperable with the ``dirstate-subtrees`` format.
2106
(Robert Collins)
2107
2108
* New ``reconfigure`` command. (Aaron Bentley)
2109
2110
* New ``revert --forget-merges`` command, which removes the record of a pending
2111
merge without affecting the working tree contents. (Martin Pool)
2112
2113
* New ``bzr_remote_path`` configuration variable allows finer control of
2114
remote bzr locations than BZR_REMOTE_PATH environment variable.
2115
(Aaron Bentley)
2116
2117
* New ``launchpad-login`` command to tell Bazaar your Launchpad
2118
user ID. This can then be used by other functions of the
2119
Launchpad plugin. (James Henstridge)
2120
2121
PERFORMANCE:
2122
2123
* Commit in quiet mode is now slightly faster as the information to
2124
output is no longer calculated. (Ian Clatworthy)
2125
2126
* Commit no longer checks for new text keys during insertion when the
2127
revision id was deterministically unique. (Robert Collins)
2128
2129
* Committing a change which is not a merge and does not change the number of
2130
files in the tree is faster by utilising the data about whether files are
2131
changed to determine if the tree is unchanged rather than recalculating
2132
it at the end of the commit process. (Robert Collins)
2133
2134
* Inventory serialisation no longer double-sha's the content.
2135
(Robert Collins)
2136
2137
* Knit text reconstruction now avoids making copies of the lines list for
2138
interim texts when building a single text. The new ``apply_delta`` method
2139
on ``KnitContent`` aids this by allowing modification of the revision id
2140
such objects represent. (Robert Collins)
2141
2142
* Pack indices are now partially parsed for specific key lookup using a
2143
bisection approach. (Robert Collins)
2144
2145
* Partial commits are now approximately 40% faster by walking over the
2146
unselected current tree more efficiently. (Robert Collins)
2147
2148
* XML inventory serialisation takes 20% less time while being stricter about
2149
the contents. (Robert Collins)
2150
2151
* Graph ``heads()`` queries have been fixed to no longer access all history
2152
unnecessarily. (Robert Collins)
2153
2154
IMPROVEMENTS:
2155
2156
* ``bzr+https://`` smart server across https now supported.
2157
(John Ferlito, Martin Pool, #128456)
2158
2159
* Mutt is now a supported mail client; set ``mail_client=mutt`` in your
2160
bazaar.conf and ``send`` will use mutt. (Keir Mierle)
2161
2162
* New option ``-c``/``--change`` for ``merge`` command for cherrypicking
2163
changes from one revision. (Alexander Belchenko, #141368)
2164
2165
* Show encodings, locale and list of plugins in the traceback message.
2166
(Martin Pool, #63894)
2167
2168
* Experimental directory formats can now be marked with
2169
``experimental = True`` during registration. (Ian Clatworthy)
2170
2171
DOCUMENTATION:
2172
2173
* New *Bazaar in Five Minutes* guide. (Matthew Revell)
2174
2175
* The hooks reference documentation is now converted to html as expected.
2176
(Ian Clatworthy)
2177
2178
BUG FIXES:
2179
2180
* Connection error reporting for the smart server has been fixed to
2181
display a user friendly message instead of a traceback.
2182
(Ian Clatworthy, #115601)
2183
2184
* Make sure to use ``O_BINARY`` when opening files to check their
2185
sha1sum. (Alexander Belchenko, John Arbash Meinel, #153493)
2186
2187
* Fix a problem with Win32 handling of the executable bit.
2188
(John Arbash Meinel, #149113)
2189
2190
* ``bzr+ssh://`` and ``sftp://`` URLs that do not specify ports explicitly
2191
no longer assume that means port 22. This allows people using OpenSSH to
2192
override the default port in their ``~/.ssh/config`` if they wish. This
2193
fixes a bug introduced in bzr 0.91. (Andrew Bennetts, #146715)
2194
2195
* Commands reporting exceptions can now be profiled and still have their
2196
data correctly dumped to a file. For example, a ``bzr commit`` with
2197
no changes still reports the operation as pointless but doing so no
2198
longer throws away the profiling data if this command is run with
2199
``--lsprof-file callgrind.out.ci`` say. (Ian Clatworthy)
2200
2201
* Fallback to ftp when paramiko is not installed and sftp can't be used for
2202
``tests/commands`` so that the test suite is still usable without
2203
paramiko.
2204
(Vincent Ladeuil, #59150)
2205
2206
* Fix commit ordering in corner case. (Aaron Bentley, #94975)
2207
2208
* Fix long standing bug in partial commit when there are renames
2209
left in tree. (Robert Collins, #140419)
2210
2211
* Fix selftest semi-random noise during http related tests.
2212
(Vincent Ladeuil, #140614)
2213
2214
* Fix typo in ftp.py making the reconnection fail on temporary errors.
2215
(Vincent Ladeuil, #154259)
2216
2217
* Fix failing test by comparing real paths to cover the case where the TMPDIR
2218
contains a symbolic link.
2219
(Vincent Ladeuil, #141382).
2220
2221
* Fix log against smart server branches that don't support tags.
2222
(James Westby, #140615)
2223
2224
* Fix pycurl http implementation by defining error codes from
2225
pycurl instead of relying on an old curl definition.
2226
(Vincent Ladeuil, #147530)
2227
2228
* Fix 'unprintable error' message when displaying BzrCheckError and
2229
some other exceptions on Python 2.5.
2230
(Martin Pool, #144633)
2231
2232
* Fix ``Inventory.copy()`` and add test for it. (Jelmer Vernooij)
2233
2234
* Handles default value for ListOption in cmd_commit.
2235
(Vincent Ladeuil, #140432)
2236
2237
* HttpServer and FtpServer need to be closed properly or a listening socket
2238
will remain opened.
2239
(Vincent Ladeuil, #140055)
2240
2241
* Monitor the .bzr directory created in the top level test
2242
directory to detect leaking tests.
2243
(Vincent Ladeuil, #147986)
2244
2245
* The basename, not the full path, is now used when checking whether
2246
the profiling dump file begins with ``callgrind.out`` or not. This
2247
fixes a bug reported by Aaron Bentley on IRC. (Ian Clatworthy)
2248
2249
* Trivial fix for invoking command ``reconfigure`` without arguments.
2250
(Rob Weir, #141629)
2251
2252
* ``WorkingTree.rename_one`` will now raise an error if normalisation of the
2253
new path causes bzr to be unable to access the file. (Robert Collins)
2254
2255
* Correctly detect a NoSuchFile when using a filezilla server. (Gary van der
2256
Merwe)
2257
2258
API BREAKS:
2259
2260
* ``bzrlib.index.GraphIndex`` now requires a size parameter to the
2261
constructor, for enabling bisection searches. (Robert Collins)
2262
2263
* ``CommitBuilder.record_entry_contents`` now requires the root entry of a
2264
tree be supplied to it, previously failing to do so would trigger a
2265
deprecation warning. (Robert Collins)
2266
2267
* ``KnitVersionedFile.add*`` will no longer cache added records even when
2268
enable_cache() has been called - the caching feature is now exclusively for
2269
reading existing data. (Robert Collins)
2270
2271
* ``ReadOnlyLockError`` is deprecated; ``LockFailed`` is usually more
2272
appropriate. (Martin Pool)
2273
2274
* Removed ``bzrlib.transport.TransportLogger`` - please see the new
2275
``trace+`` transport instead. (Robert Collins)
2276
2277
* Removed previously deprecated varargs interface to ``TestCase.run_bzr`` and
2278
deprecated methods ``TestCase.capture`` and ``TestCase.run_bzr_captured``.
2279
(Martin Pool)
2280
2281
* Removed previous deprecated ``basis_knit`` parameter to the
2282
``KnitVersionedFile`` constructor. (Robert Collins)
2283
2284
* Special purpose method ``TestCase.run_bzr_decode`` is moved to the test_non_ascii
2285
class that needs it.
2286
(Martin Pool)
2287
2288
* The class ``bzrlib.repofmt.knitrepo.KnitRepository3`` has been folded into
2289
``KnitRepository`` by parameters to the constructor. (Robert Collins)
2290
2291
* The ``VersionedFile`` interface now allows content checks to be bypassed
2292
by supplying check_content=False. This saves nearly 30% of the minimum
2293
cost to store a version of a file. (Robert Collins)
2294
2295
* Tree's with bad state such as files with no length or sha will no longer
2296
be silently accepted by the repository XML serialiser. To serialise
2297
inventories without such data, pass working=True to write_inventory.
2298
(Robert Collins)
2299
2300
* ``VersionedFile.fix_parents`` has been removed as a harmful API.
2301
``VersionedFile.join`` will no longer accept different parents on either
2302
side of a join - it will either ignore them, or error, depending on the
2303
implementation. See notes when upgrading for more information.
2304
(Robert Collins)
2305
2306
INTERNALS:
2307
2308
* ``bzrlib.transport.Transport.put_file`` now returns the number of bytes
2309
put by the method call, to allow avoiding stat-after-write or
2310
housekeeping in callers. (Robert Collins)
2311
2312
* ``bzrlib.xml_serializer.Serializer`` is now responsible for checking that
2313
mandatory attributes are present on serialisation and deserialisation.
2314
This fixes some holes in API usage and allows better separation between
2315
physical storage and object serialisation. (Robert Collins)
2316
2317
* New class ``bzrlib.errors.InternalBzrError`` which is just a convenient
2318
shorthand for deriving from BzrError and setting internal_error = True.
2319
(Robert Collins)
2320
2321
* New method ``bzrlib.mutabletree.update_to_one_parent_via_delta`` for
2322
moving the state of a parent tree to a new version via a delta rather than
2323
a complete replacement tree. (Robert Collins)
2324
2325
* New method ``bzrlib.osutils.minimum_path_selection`` useful for removing
2326
duplication from user input, when a user mentions both a path and an item
2327
contained within that path. (Robert Collins)
2328
2329
* New method ``bzrlib.repository.Repository.is_write_locked`` useful for
2330
determining if a repository is write locked. (Robert Collins)
2331
2332
* New method on ``bzrlib.tree.Tree`` ``path_content_summary`` provides a
2333
tuple containing the key information about a path for commit processing
2334
to complete. (Robert Collins)
2335
2336
* New method on xml serialisers, write_inventory_to_lines, which matches the
2337
API used by knits for adding content. (Robert Collins)
2338
2339
* New module ``bzrlib.bisect_multi`` with generic multiple-bisection-at-once
2340
logic, currently only available for byte-based lookup
2341
(``bisect_multi_bytes``). (Robert Collins)
2342
2343
* New helper ``bzrlib.tuned_gzip.bytes_to_gzip`` which takes a byte string
2344
and returns a gzipped version of the same. This is used to avoid a bunch
2345
of api friction during adding of knit hunks. (Robert Collins)
2346
2347
* New parameter on ``bzrlib.transport.Transport.readv``
2348
``adjust_for_latency`` which changes readv from returning strictly the
2349
requested data to inserted return larger ranges and in forward read order
2350
to reduce the effect of network latency. (Robert Collins)
2351
2352
* New parameter yield_parents on ``Inventory.iter_entries_by_dir`` which
2353
causes the parents of a selected id to be returned recursively, so all the
2354
paths from the root down to each element of selected_file_ids are
2355
returned. (Robert Collins)
2356
2357
* Knit joining has been enhanced to support plain to annotated conversion
2358
and annotated to plain conversion. (Ian Clatworthy)
2359
2360
* The CommitBuilder method ``record_entry_contents`` now returns summary
2361
information about the effect of the commit on the repository. This tuple
2362
contains an inventory delta item if the entry changed from the basis, and a
2363
boolean indicating whether a new file graph node was recorded.
2364
(Robert Collins)
2365
2366
* The python path used in the Makefile can now be overridden.
2367
(Andrew Bennetts, Ian Clatworthy)
2368
2369
TESTING:
2370
2371
* New transport implementation ``trace+`` which is useful for testing,
2372
logging activity taken to its _activity attribute. (Robert Collins)
2373
2374
* When running bzr commands within the test suite, internal exceptions are
2375
not caught and reported in the usual way, but rather allowed to propagate
2376
up and be visible to the test suite. A new API ``run_bzr_catch_user_errors``
2377
makes this behavior available to other users.
2378
(Martin Pool)
2379
2380
* New method ``TestCase.call_catch_warnings`` for testing methods that
2381
raises a Python warning. (Martin Pool)

2385
-------------------
2386
2387
BUG FIXES:
2388
2389
* Print a warning instead of aborting the ``python setup.py install``
2390
process if building of a C extension is not possible.
2391
(Lukáš Lalinský, Alexander Belchenko)
2392
2393
* Fix commit ordering in corner case (Aaron Bentley, #94975)
2394
2395
* Fix ''bzr info bzr://host/'' and other operations on ''bzr://' URLs with
2396
an implicit port. We were incorrectly raising PathNotChild due to
2397
inconsistent treatment of the ''_port'' attribute on the Transport object.
2398
(Andrew Bennetts, #133965)
2399
2400
* Make RemoteRepository.sprout cope gracefully with servers that don't
2401
support the ``Repository.tarball`` request.
2402
(Andrew Bennetts)
2403
2404
2405
bzr 0.91rc2 2007-09-11
2406
----------------------
2407
2408
* Replaced incorrect tarball for previous release; a debug statement was left
2409
in bzrlib/remote.py.
2410
2411
2412
bzr 0.91rc1 2007-09-11
2413
----------------------
2414
2415
CHANGES:
2416
2417
* The default branch and repository format has changed to
2418
``dirstate-tags``, so tag commands are active by default.
2419
This format is compatible with Bazaar 0.15 and later.
2420
This incidentally fixes bug #126141.
2421
(Martin Pool)
2422
2423
* ``--quiet`` or ``-q`` is no longer a global option. If present, it
2424
must now appear after the command name. Scripts doing things like
2425
``bzr -q missing`` need to be rewritten as ``bzr missing -q``.
2426
(Ian Clatworthy)
2427
2428
FEATURES:
2429
2430
* New option ``--author`` in ``bzr commit`` to specify the author of the
2431
change, if it's different from the committer. ``bzr log`` and
2432
``bzr annotate`` display the author instead of the committer.
2433
(Lukáš Lalinský)
2434
2435
* In addition to global options and command specific options, a set of
2436
standard options are now supported. Standard options are legal for
2437
all commands. The initial set of standard options are:
2438
2439
* ``--help`` or ``-h`` - display help message
2440
* ``--verbose`` or ``-v`` - display additional information
2441
* ``--quiet`` or ``-q`` - only output warnings and errors.
2442
2443
Unlike global options, standard options can be used in aliases and
2444
may have command-specific help. (Ian Clatworthy)
2445
2446
* Verbosity level processing has now been unified. If ``--verbose``
2447
or ``-v`` is specified on the command line multiple times, the
2448
verbosity level is made positive the first time then increased.
2449
If ``--quiet`` or ``-q`` is specified on the command line
2450
multiple times, the verbosity level is made negative the first
2451
time then decreased. To get the default verbosity level of zero,
2452
either specify none of the above , ``--no-verbose`` or ``--no-quiet``.
2453
Note that most commands currently ignore the magnitude of the
2454
verbosity level but do respect *quiet vs normal vs verbose* when
2455
generating output. (Ian Clatworthy)
2456
2457
* ``Branch.hooks`` now supports ``pre_commit`` hook. The hook's signature
2458
is documented in BranchHooks constructor. (Nam T. Nguyen, #102747)
2459
2460
* New ``Repository.stream_knit_data_for_revisions`` request added to the
2461
network protocol for greatly reduced roundtrips when retrieving a set of
2462
revisions. (Andrew Bennetts)
2463
2464
BUG FIXES:
2465
2466
* ``bzr plugins`` now lists the version number for each plugin in square
2467
brackets after the path. (Robert Collins, #125421)
2468
2469
* Pushing, pulling and branching branches with subtree references was not
2470
copying the subtree weave, preventing the file graph from being accessed
2471
and causing errors in commits in clones. (Robert Collins)
2472
2473
* Suppress warning "integer argument expected, got float" from Paramiko,
2474
which sometimes caused false test failures. (Martin Pool)
2475
2476
* Fix bug in bundle 4 that could cause attempts to write data to wrong
2477
versionedfile. (Aaron Bentley)
2478
2479
* Diffs generated using "diff -p" no longer break the patch parser.
2480
(Aaron Bentley)
2481
2482
* get_transport treats an empty possible_transports list the same as a non-
2483
empty one. (Aaron Bentley)
2484
2485
* patch verification for merge directives is reactivated, and works with
2486
CRLF and CR files. (Aaron Bentley)
2487
2488
* Accept ..\ as a path in revision specifiers. This fixes for example
2489
"-r branch:..\other-branch" on Windows. (Lukáš Lalinský)
2490
2491
* ``BZR_PLUGIN_PATH`` may now contain trailing slashes.
2492
(Blake Winton, #129299)
2493
2494
* man page no longer lists hidden options (#131667, Aaron Bentley)
2495
2496
* ``uncommit --help`` now explains the -r option adequately. (Daniel
2497
Watkins, #106726)
2498
2499
* Error messages are now better formatted with parameters (such as
2500
filenames) quoted when necessary. This avoids confusion when directory
2501
names ending in a '.' at the end of messages were confused with a
2502
full stop that may or not have been there. (Daniel Watkins, #129791)
2503
2504
* Fix ``status FILE -r X..Y``. (Lukáš Lalinský)
2505
2506
* If a particular command is an alias, ``help`` will show the alias
2507
instead of claiming there is no help for said alias. (Daniel Watkins,
2508
#133548)
2509
2510
* TreeTransform-based operations, like pull, merge, revert, and branch,
2511
now roll back if they encounter an error. (Aaron Bentley, #67699)
2512
2513
* ``bzr commit`` now exits cleanly if a character unsupported by the
2514
current encoding is used in the commit message. (Daniel Watkins,
2515
#116143)
2516
2517
* bzr send uses default values for ranges when only half of an elipsis
2518
is specified ("-r..5" or "-r5.."). (#61685, Aaron Bentley)
2519
2520
* Avoid trouble when Windows ssh calls itself 'plink' but no plink
2521
binary is present. (Martin Albisetti, #107155)
2522
2523
* ``bzr remove`` should remove clean subtrees. Now it will remove (without
2524
needing ``--force``) subtrees that contain no files with text changes or
2525
modified files. With ``--force`` it removes the subtree regardless of
2526
text changes or unknown files. Directories with renames in or out (but
2527
not changed otherwise) will now be removed without needing ``--force``.
2528
Unknown ignored files will be deleted without needing ``--force``.
2529
(Marius Kruger, #111665)
2530
2531
* When two plugins conflict, the source of both the losing and now the
2532
winning definition is shown. (Konstantin Mikhaylov, #5454)
2533
2534
* When committing to a branch, the location being committed to is
2535
displayed. (Daniel Watkins, #52479)
2536
2537
* ``bzr --version`` takes care about encoding of stdout, especially
2538
when output is redirected. (Alexander Belchenko, #131100)
2539
2540
* Prompt for an ftp password if none is provided.
2541
(Vincent Ladeuil, #137044)
2542
2543
* Reuse bound branch associated transport to avoid multiple
2544
connections.
2545
(Vincent Ladeuil, #128076, #131396)
2546
2547
* Overwrite conflicting tags by ``push`` and ``pull`` if the
2548
``--overwrite`` option is specified. (Lukáš Lalinský, #93947)
2549
2550
* In checkouts, tags are copied into the master branch when created,
2551
changed or deleted, and are copied into the checkout when it is
2552
updated. (Martin Pool, #93856, #93860)
2553
2554
* Print a warning instead of aborting the ``python setup.py install``
2555
process if building of a C extension is not possible.
2556
(Lukáš Lalinský, Alexander Belchenko)
2557
2558
IMPROVEMENTS:
2559
2560
* Add the option "--show-diff" to the commit command in order to display
2561
the diff during the commit log creation. (Goffredo Baroncelli)
2562
2563
* ``pull`` and ``merge`` are much faster at installing bundle format 4.
2564
(Aaron Bentley)
2565
2566
* ``pull -v`` no longer includes deltas, making it much faster.
2567
(Aaron Bentley)
2568
2569
* ``send`` now sends the directive as an attachment by default.
2570
(Aaron Bentley, Lukáš Lalinský, Alexander Belchenko)
2571
2572
* Documentation updates (Martin Albisetti)
2573
2574
* Help on debug flags is now included in ``help global-options``.
2575
(Daniel Watkins, #124853)
2576
2577
* Parameters passed on the command line are checked to ensure they are
2578
supported by the encoding in use. (Daniel Watkins)
2579
2580
* The compression used within the bzr repository has changed from zlib
2581
level 9 to the zlib default level. This improves commit performance with
2582
only a small increase in space used (and in some cases a reduction in
2583
space). (Robert Collins)
2584
2585
* Initial commit no longer SHAs files twice and now reuses the path
2586
rather than looking it up again, making it faster.
2587
(Ian Clatworthy)
2588
2589
* New option ``-c``/``--change`` for ``diff`` and ``status`` to show
2590
changes in one revision. (Lukáš Lalinský)
2591
2592
* If versioned files match a given ignore pattern, a warning is now
2593
given. (Daniel Watkins, #48623)
2594
2595
* ``bzr status`` now has -S as a short name for --short and -V as a
2596
short name for --versioned. These have been added to assist users
2597
migrating from Subversion: ``bzr status -SV`` is now like
2598
``svn status -q``. (Daniel Watkins, #115990)
2599
2600
* Added C implementation of ``PatienceSequenceMatcher``, which is about
2601
10x faster than the Python version. This speeds up commands that
2602
need file diffing, such as ``bzr commit`` or ``bzr diff``.
2603
(Lukáš Lalinský)
2604
2605
* HACKING has been extended with a large section on core developer tasks.
2606
(Ian Clatworthy)
2607
2608
* Add ``branches`` and ``standalone-trees`` as online help topics and
2609
include them as Concepts within the User Reference.
2610
(Paul Moore, Ian Clatworthy)
2611
2612
* ``check`` can detect versionedfile parent references that are
2613
inconsistent with revision and inventory info, and ``reconcile`` can fix
2614
them. These faulty references were generated by 0.8-era releases,
2615
so repositories which were manipulated by old bzrs should be
2616
checked, and possibly reconciled ASAP. (Aaron Bentley, Andrew Bennetts)
2617
2618
API BREAKS:
2619
2620
* ``Branch.append_revision`` is removed altogether; please use
2621
``Branch.set_last_revision_info`` instead. (Martin Pool)
2622
2623
* CommitBuilder now advertises itself as requiring the root entry to be
2624
supplied. This only affects foreign repository implementations which reuse
2625
CommitBuilder directly and have changed record_entry_contents to require
2626
that the root not be supplied. This should be precisely zero plugins
2627
affected. (Robert Collins)
2628
2629
* The ``add_lines`` methods on ``VersionedFile`` implementations has changed
2630
its return value to include the sha1 and length of the inserted text. This
2631
allows the avoidance of double-sha1 calculations during commit.
2632
(Robert Collins)
2633
2634
* ``Transport.should_cache`` has been removed. It was not called in the
2635
previous release. (Martin Pool)
2636
2637
TESTING:
2638
2639
* Tests may now raise TestNotApplicable to indicate they shouldn't be
2640
run in a particular scenario. (Martin Pool)
2641
2642
* New function multiply_tests_from_modules to give a simpler interface
2643
to test parameterization. (Martin Pool, Robert Collins)
2644
2645
* ``Transport.should_cache`` has been removed. It was not called in the
2646
previous release. (Martin Pool)
2647
2648
* NULL_REVISION is returned to indicate the null revision, not None.
2649
(Aaron Bentley)
2650
2651
* Use UTF-8 encoded StringIO for log tests to avoid failures on
2652
non-ASCII committer names. (Lukáš Lalinský)
2653
2654
INTERNALS:
2655
2656
* ``bzrlib.plugin.all_plugins`` has been deprecated in favour of
2657
``bzrlib.plugin.plugins()`` which returns PlugIn objects that provide
2658
useful functionality for determining the path of a plugin, its tests, and
2659
its version information. (Robert Collins)
2660
2661
* Add the option user_encoding to the function 'show_diff_trees()'
2662
in order to move the user encoding at the UI level. (Goffredo Baroncelli)
2663
2664
* Add the function make_commit_message_template_encoded() and the function
2665
edit_commit_message_encoded() which handle encoded strings.
2666
This is done in order to mix the commit messages (which is a unicode
2667
string), and the diff which is a raw string. (Goffredo Baroncelli)
2668
2669
* CommitBuilder now defaults to using add_lines_with_ghosts, reducing
2670
overhead on non-weave repositories which don't require all parents to be
2671
present. (Robert Collins)
2672
2673
* Deprecated method ``find_previous_heads`` on
2674
``bzrlib.inventory.InventoryEntry``. This has been superseded by the use
2675
of ``parent_candidates`` and a separate heads check via the repository
2676
API. (Robert Collins)
2677
2678
* New trace function ``mutter_callsite`` will print out a subset of the
2679
stack to the log, which can be useful for gathering debug details.
2680
(Robert Collins)
2681
2682
* ``bzrlib.pack.ContainerWriter`` now tracks how many records have been
2683
added via a public attribute records_written. (Robert Collins)
2684
2685
* New method ``bzrlib.transport.Transport.get_recommended_page_size``.
2686
This provides a hint to users of transports as to the reasonable
2687
minimum data to read. In principle this can take latency and
2688
bandwidth into account on a per-connection basis, but for now it
2689
just has hard coded values based on the url. (e.g. http:// has a large
2690
page size, file:// has a small one.) (Robert Collins)
2691
2692
* New method on ``bzrlib.transport.Transport`` ``open_write_stream`` allows
2693
incremental addition of data to a file without requiring that all the
2694
data be buffered in memory. (Robert Collins)
2695
2696
* New methods on ``bzrlib.knit.KnitVersionedFile``:
2697
``get_data_stream(versions)``, ``insert_data_stream(stream)`` and
2698
``get_format_signature()``. These provide some infrastructure for
2699
efficiently streaming the knit data for a set of versions over the smart
2700
protocol.
2701
2702
* Knits with no annotation cache still produce correct annotations.
2703
(Aaron Bentley)
2704
2705
* Three new methods have been added to ``bzrlib.trace``:
2706
``set_verbosity_level``, ``get_verbosity_level`` and ``is_verbose``.
2707
``set_verbosity_level`` expects a numeric value: negative for quiet,
2708
zero for normal, positive for verbose. The size of the number can be
2709
used to determine just how quiet or verbose the application should be.
2710
The existing ``be_quiet`` and ``is_quiet`` routines have been
2711
integrated into this new scheme. (Ian Clatworthy)
2712
2713
* Options can now be delcared with a ``custom_callback`` parameter. If
2714
set, this routine is called after the option is processed. This feature
2715
is now used by the standard options ``verbose`` and ``quiet`` so that
2716
setting one implicitly resets the other. (Ian Clatworthy)
2717
2718
* Rather than declaring a new option from scratch in order to provide
2719
custom help, a centrally registered option can be decorated using the
2720
new ``bzrlib.Option.custom_help`` routine. In particular, this routine
2721
is useful when declaring better help for the ``verbose`` and ``quiet``
2722
standard options as the base definition of these is now more complex
2723
than before thanks to their use of a custom callback. (Ian Clatworthy)
2724
2725
* Tree._iter_changes(specific_file=[]) now iterates through no files,
2726
instead of iterating through all files. None is used to iterate through
2727
all files. (Aaron Bentley)
2728
2729
* WorkingTree.revert() now accepts None to revert all files. The use of
2730
[] to revert all files is deprecated. (Aaron Bentley)
2731
2732
2733
bzr 0.90 2007-08-28
2734
-------------------
2735
2736
IMPROVEMENTS:
2737
2738
* Documentation is now organized into multiple directories with a level
2739
added for different languages or locales. Added the Mini Tutorial
2740
and Quick Start Summary (en) documents from the Wiki, improving the
2741
content and readability of the former. Formatted NEWS as Release Notes
2742
complete with a Table of Conents, one heading per release. Moved the
2743
Developer Guide into the main document catalog and provided a link
2744
from the developer document catalog back to the main one.
2745
(Ian Clatworthy, Sabin Iacob, Alexander Belchenko)
2746
2747
2748
API CHANGES:
2749
2750
* The static convenience method ``BzrDir.create_repository``
2751
is deprecated. Callers should instead create a ``BzrDir`` instance
2752
and call ``create_repository`` on that. (Martin Pool)
2753

2755
bzr 0.90rc1 2007-08-14
2756
----------------------
2757
2758
BUGFIXES:
2759
2760
* ``bzr init`` should connect to the remote location one time only. We
2761
have been connecting several times because we forget to pass around the
2762
Transport object. This modifies ``BzrDir.create_branch_convenience``,
2763
so that we can give it the Transport we already have.
2764
(John Arbash Meinel, Vincent Ladeuil, #111702)
2765
2766
* Get rid of sftp connection cache (get rid of the FTP one too).
2767
(Vincent Ladeuil, #43731)
2768
2769
* bzr branch {local|remote} remote don't try to create a working tree
2770
anymore.
2771
(Vincent Ladeuil, #112173)
2772
2773
* All identified multiple connections for a single bzr command have been
2774
fixed. See bzrlib/tests/commands directory.
2775
(Vincent Ladeuil)
2776
2777
* ``bzr rm`` now does not insist on ``--force`` to delete files that
2778
have been renamed but not otherwise modified. (Marius Kruger,
2779
#111664)
2780
2781
* ``bzr selftest --bench`` no longer emits deprecation warnings
2782
(Lukáš Lalinský)
2783
2784
* ``bzr status`` now honours FILE parameters for conflict lists
2785
(Aaron Bentley, #127606)
2786
2787
* ``bzr checkout`` now honours -r when reconstituting a working tree.
2788
It also honours -r 0. (Aaron Bentley, #127708)
2789
2790
* ``bzr add *`` no more fails on Windows if working tree contains
2791
non-ascii file names. (Kuno Meyer, #127361)
2792
2793
* allow ``easy_install bzr`` runs without fatal errors.
2794
(Alexander Belchenko, #125521)
2795
2796
* Graph._filter_candidate_lca does not raise KeyError if a candidate
2797
is eliminated just before it would normally be examined. (Aaron Bentley)
2798
2799
* SMTP connection failures produce a nice message, not a traceback.
2800
(Aaron Bentley)
2801
2802
IMPROVEMENTS:
2803
2804
* Don't show "dots" progress indicators when run non-interactively, such
2805
as from cron. (Martin Pool)
2806
2807
* ``info`` now formats locations more nicely and lists "submit" and
2808
"public" branches (Aaron Bentley)
2809
2810
* New ``pack`` command that will trigger database compression within
2811
the repository (Robert Collins)
2812
2813
* Implement ``_KnitIndex._load_data`` in a pyrex extension. The pyrex
2814
version is approximately 2-3x faster at parsing a ``.kndx`` file.
2815
Which yields a measurable improvement for commands which have to
2816
read from the repository, such as a 1s => 0.75s improvement in
2817
``bzr diff`` when there are changes to be shown. (John Arbash Meinel)
2818
2819
* Merge is now faster. Depending on the scenario, it can be more than 2x
2820
faster. (Aaron Bentley)
2821
2822
* Give a clearer warning, and allow ``python setup.py install`` to
2823
succeed even if pyrex is not available.
2824
(John Arbash Meinel)
2825
2826
* ``DirState._read_dirblocks`` now has an optional Pyrex
2827
implementation. This improves the speed of any command that has to
2828
read the entire DirState. (``diff``, ``status``, etc, improve by
2829
about 10%).
2830
``bisect_dirblocks`` has also been improved, which helps all
2831
``_get_entry`` type calls (whenever we are searching for a
2832
particular entry in the in-memory DirState).
2833
(John Arbash Meinel)
2834
2835
* ``bzr pull`` and ``bzr push`` no longer do a complete walk of the
2836
branch revision history for ui display unless -v is supplied.
2837
(Robert Collins)
2838
2839
* ``bzr log -rA..B`` output shifted to the left margin if the log only
2840
contains merge revisions. (Kent Gibson)
2841
2842
* The ``plugins`` command is now public with improved help.
2843
(Ian Clatworthy)
2844
2845
* New bundle and merge directive formats are faster to generate, and
2846
2847
* Annotate merge now works when there are local changes. (Aaron Bentley)
2848
2849
* Commit now only shows the progress in terms of directories instead of
2850
entries. (Ian Clatworthy)
2851
2852
* Fix ``KnitRepository.get_revision_graph`` to not request the graph 2
2853
times. This makes ``get_revision_graph`` 2x faster. (John Arbash
2854
Meinel)
2855
2856
* Fix ``VersionedFile.get_graph()`` to avoid using
2857
``set.difference_update(other)``, which has bad scaling when
2858
``other`` is large. This improves ``VF.get_graph([version_id])`` for
2859
a 12.5k graph from 2.9s down to 200ms. (John Arbash Meinel)
2860
2861
* The ``--lsprof-file`` option now generates output for KCacheGrind if
2862
the file starts with ``callgrind.out``. This matches the default file
2863
filtering done by KCacheGrind's Open Dialog. (Ian Clatworthy)
2864
2865
* Fix ``bzr update`` to avoid an unnecessary
2866
``branch.get_master_branch`` call, which avoids 1 extra connection
2867
to the remote server. (Partial fix for #128076, John Arbash Meinel)
2868
2869
* Log errors from the smart server in the trace file, to make debugging
2870
test failures (and live failures!) easier. (Andrew Bennetts)
2871
2872
* The HTML version of the man page has been superceded by a more
2873
comprehensive manual called the Bazaar User Reference. This manual
2874
is completed generated from the online help topics. As part of this
2875
change, limited reStructuredText is now explicitly supported in help
2876
topics and command help with 'unnatural' markup being removed prior
2877
to display by the online help or inclusion in the man page.
2878
(Ian Clatworthy)
2879
2880
* HTML documentation now use files extension ``*.html``
2881
(Alexander Belchenko)
2882
2883
* The cache of ignore definitions is now cleared in WorkingTree.unlock()
2884
so that changes to .bzrignore aren't missed. (#129694, Daniel Watkins)
2885
2886
* ``bzr selftest --strict`` fails if there are any missing features or
2887
expected test failures. (Daniel Watkins, #111914)
2888
2889
* Link to registration survey added to README. (Ian Clatworthy)
2890
2891
* Windows standalone installer show link to registration survey
2892
when installation finished. (Alexander Belchenko)
2893
2894
LIBRARY API BREAKS:
2895
2896
* Deprecated dictionary ``bzrlib.option.SHORT_OPTIONS`` removed.
2897
Options are now required to provide a help string and it must
2898
comply with the style guide by being one or more sentences with an
2899
initial capital and final period. (Martin Pool)
2900
2901
* KnitIndex.get_parents now returns tuples. (Robert Collins)
2902
2903
* Ancient unused ``Repository.text_store`` attribute has been removed.
2904
(Robert Collins)
2905
2906
* The ``bzrlib.pack`` interface has changed to use tuples of bytestrings
2907
rather than just bytestrings, making it easier to represent multiple
2908
element names. As this interface was not used by any internal facilities
2909
since it was introduced in 0.18 no API compatibility is being preserved.
2910
The serialised form of these packs is identical with 0.18 when a single
2911
element tuple is in use. (Robert Collins)
2912
2913
INTERNALS:
2914
2915
* merge now uses ``iter_changes`` to calculate changes, which makes room for
2916
future performance increases. It is also more consistent with other
2917
operations that perform comparisons, and reduces reliance on
2918
Tree.inventory. (Aaron Bentley)
2919
2920
* Refactoring of transport classes connected to a remote server.
2921
ConnectedTransport is a new class that serves as a basis for all
2922
transports needing to connect to a remote server. transport.split_url
2923
have been deprecated, use the static method on the object instead. URL
2924
tests have been refactored too.
2925
(Vincent Ladeuil)
2926
2927
* Better connection sharing for ConnectedTransport objects.
2928
transport.get_transport() now accepts a 'possible_transports' parameter.
2929
If a newly requested transport can share a connection with one of the
2930
list, it will.
2931
(Vincent Ladeuil)
2932
2933
* Most functions now accept ``bzrlib.revision.NULL_REVISION`` to indicate
2934
the null revision, and consider using ``None`` for this purpose
2935
deprecated. (Aaron Bentley)
2936
2937
* New ``index`` module with abstract index functionality. This will be
2938
used during the planned changes in the repository layer. Currently the
2939
index layer provides a graph aware immutable index, a builder for the
2940
same index type to allow creating them, and finally a composer for
2941
such indices to allow the use of many indices in a single query. The
2942
index performance is not optimised, however the API is stable to allow
2943
development on top of the index. (Robert Collins)
2944
2945
* ``bzrlib.dirstate.cmp_by_dirs`` can be used to compare two paths by
2946
their directory sections. This is equivalent to comparing
2947
``path.split('/')``, only without having to split the paths.
2948
This has a Pyrex implementation available.
2949
(John Arbash Meinel)
2950
2951
* New transport decorator 'unlistable+' which disables the list_dir
2952
functionality for testing.
2953
2954
* Deprecated ``change_entry`` in transform.py. (Ian Clatworthy)
2955
2956
* RevisionTree.get_weave is now deprecated. Tree.plan_merge is now used
2957
for performing annotate-merge. (Aaron Bentley)
2958
2959
* New EmailMessage class to create email messages. (Adeodato Simó)
2960
2961
* Unused functions on the private interface KnitIndex have been removed.
2962
(Robert Collins)
2963
2964
* New ``knit.KnitGraphIndex`` which provides a ``KnitIndex`` layered on top
2965
of a ``index.GraphIndex``. (Robert Collins)
2966
2967
* New ``knit.KnitVersionedFile.iter_parents`` method that allows querying
2968
the parents of many knit nodes at once, reducing round trips to the
2969
underlying index. (Robert Collins)
2970
2971
* Graph now has an is_ancestor method, various bits use it.
2972
(Aaron Bentley)
2973
2974
* The ``-Dhpss`` flag now includes timing information. As well as
2975
logging when a new connection is opened. (John Arbash Meinel)
2976
2977
* ``bzrlib.pack.ContainerWriter`` now returns an offset, length tuple to
2978
callers when inserting data, allowing generation of readv style access
2979
during pack creation, without needing a separate pass across the output
2980
pack to gather such details. (Robert Collins)
2981
2982
* ``bzrlib.pack.make_readv_reader`` allows readv based access to pack
2983
files that are stored on a transport. (Robert Collins)
2984
2985
* New ``Repository.has_same_location`` method that reports if two
2986
repository objects refer to the same repository (although with some risk
2987
of false negatives). (Andrew Bennetts)
2988
2989
* InterTree.compare now passes require_versioned on correctly.
2990
(Marius Kruger)
2991
2992
* New methods on Repository - ``start_write_group``,
2993
``commit_write_group``, ``abort_write_group`` and ``is_in_write_group`` -
2994
which provide a clean hook point for transactional Repositories - ones
2995
where all the data for a fetch or commit needs to be made atomically
2996
available in one step. This allows the write lock to remain while making
2997
a series of data insertions. (e.g. data conversion). (Robert Collins)
2998
2999
* In ``bzrlib.knit`` the internal interface has been altered to use
3000
3-tuples (index, pos, length) rather than two-tuples (pos, length) to
3001
describe where data in a knit is, allowing knits to be split into
3002
many files. (Robert Collins)
3003
3004
* ``bzrlib.knit._KnitData`` split into cache management and physical access
3005
with two access classes - ``_PackAccess`` and ``_KnitAccess`` defined.
3006
The former provides access into a .pack file, and the latter provides the
3007
current production repository form of .knit files. (Robert Collins)
3008
3009
TESTING:
3010
3011
* Remove selftest ``--clean-output``, ``--numbered-dirs`` and
3012
``--keep-output`` options, which are obsolete now that tests
3013
are done within directories in $TMPDIR. (Martin Pool)
3014
3015
* The SSH_AUTH_SOCK environment variable is now reset to avoid
3016
interaction with any running ssh agents. (Jelmer Vernooij, #125955)
3017
3018
* run_bzr_subprocess handles parameters the same way as run_bzr:
3019
either a string or a list of strings should be passed as the first
3020
parameter. Varargs-style parameters are deprecated. (Aaron Bentley)

BUGFIXES:
3035
3036
* Do not suppress pipe errors, etc. in non-display commands
3037
(Alexander Belchenko, #87178)
3038
3039
* Display a useful error message when the user requests to annotate
3040
a file that is not present in the specified revision.
3041
(James Westby, #122656)
3042
3043
* Commands that use status flags now have a reference to 'help
3044
status-flags'. (Daniel Watkins, #113436)
3045
3046
* Work around python-2.4.1 inhability to correctly parse the
3047
authentication header.
3048
(Vincent Ladeuil, #121889)
3049
3050
* Use exact encoding for merge directives. (Adeodato Simó, #120591)
3051
3052
* Fix tempfile permissions error in smart server tar bundling under
3053
Windows. (Martin _, #119330)
3054
3055
* Fix detection of directory entries in the inventory. (James Westby)
3056
3057
* Fix handling of http code 400: Bad Request When issuing too many ranges.
3058
(Vincent Ladeuil, #115209)
3059
3060
* Issue a CONNECT request when connecting to an https server
3061
via a proxy to enable SSL tunneling.
3062
(Vincent Ladeuil, #120678)
3063
3064
* Fix ``bzr log -r`` to support selecting merge revisions, both
3065
individually and as part of revision ranges.
3066
(Kent Gibson, #4663)
3067
3068
* Don't leave cruft behind when failing to acquire a lockdir.
3069
(Martin Pool, #109169)
3070
3071
* Don't use the '-f' strace option during tests.
3072
(Vincent Ladeuil, #102019).
3073
3074
* Warn when setting ``push_location`` to a value that will be masked by
3075
locations.conf. (Aaron Bentley, #122286)
3076
3077
* Fix commit ordering in corner case (Aaron Bentley, #94975)
3078
3079
* Make annotate behave in a non-ASCII world (Adeodato Simó).
3080
3081
IMPROVEMENTS:
3082
3083
* The --lsprof-file option now dumps a text rendering of the profiling
3084
information if the filename ends in ".txt". It will also convert the
3085
profiling information to a format suitable for KCacheGrind if the
3086
output filename ends in ".callgrind". Fixes to the lsprofcalltree
3087
conversion process by Jean Paul Calderone and Itamar were also merged.
3088
See http://ddaa.net/blog/python/lsprof-calltree. (Ian Clatworthy)
3089
3090
* ``info`` now defaults to non-verbose mode, displaying only paths and
3091
abbreviated format info. ``info -v`` displays all the information
3092
formerly displayed by ``info``. (Aaron Bentley, Adeodato Simó)
3093
3094
* ``bzr missing`` now has better option names ``--this`` and ``--other``.
3095
(Elliot Murphy)
3096
3097
* The internal ``weave-list`` command has become ``versionedfile-list``,
3098
and now lists knits as well as weaves. (Aaron Bentley)
3099
3100
* Automatic merge base selection uses a faster algorithm that chooses
3101
better bases in criss-cross merge situations (Aaron Bentley)
3102
3103
* Progress reporting in ``commit`` has been improved. The various logical
3104
stages are now reported on as follows, namely:
3105
3106
* Collecting changes [Entry x/y] - Stage n/m
3107
* Saving data locally - Stage n/m
3108
* Uploading data to master branch - Stage n/m
3109
* Updating the working tree - Stage n/m
3110
* Running post commit hooks - Stage n/m
3111
3112
If there is no master branch, the 3rd stage is omitted and the total
3113
number of stages is adjusted accordingly.
3114
3115
Each hook that is run after commit is listed with a name (as hooks
3116
can be slow it is useful feedback).
3117
(Ian Clatworthy, Robert Collins)
3118
3119
* Various operations that are now faster due to avoiding unnecessary
3120
topological sorts. (Aaron Bentley)
3121
3122
* Make merge directives robust against broken bundles. (Aaron Bentley)
3123
3124
* The lsprof filename note is emitted via trace.note(), not standard
3125
output. (Aaron Bentley)
3126
3127
* ``bzrlib`` now exports explicit API compatibility information to assist
3128
library users and plugins. See the ``bzrlib.api`` module for details.
3129
(Robert Collins)
3130
3131
* Remove unnecessary lock probes when acquiring a lockdir.
3132
(Martin Pool)
3133
3134
* ``bzr --version`` now shows the location of the bzr log file, which
3135
is especially useful on Windows. (Martin Pool)
3136
3137
* -D now supports hooks to get debug tracing of hooks (though its currently
3138
minimal in nature). (Robert Collins)
3139
3140
* Long log format reports deltas on merge revisions.
3141
(John Arbash Meinel, Kent Gibson)
3142
3143
* Make initial push over ftp more resilient. (John Arbash Meinel)
3144
3145
* Print a summary of changes for update just like pull does.
3146
(Daniel Watkins, #113990)
3147
3148
* Add a -Dhpss option to trace smart protocol requests and responses.
3149
(Andrew Bennetts)
3150
3151
LIBRARY API BREAKS:
3152
3153
* Testing cleanups -
3154
``bzrlib.repository.RepositoryTestProviderAdapter`` has been moved
3155
to ``bzrlib.tests.repository_implementations``;
3156
``bzrlib.repository.InterRepositoryTestProviderAdapter`` has been moved
3157
to ``bzrlib.tests.interrepository_implementations``;
3158
``bzrlib.transport.TransportTestProviderAdapter`` has moved to
3159
``bzrlib.tests.test_transport_implementations``.
3160
``bzrlib.branch.BranchTestProviderAdapter`` has moved to
3161
``bzrlib.tests.branch_implementations``.
3162
``bzrlib.bzrdir.BzrDirTestProviderAdapter`` has moved to
3163
``bzrlib.tests.bzrdir_implementations``.
3164
``bzrlib.versionedfile.InterVersionedFileTestProviderAdapter`` has moved
3165
to ``bzrlib.tests.interversionedfile_implementations``.
3166
``bzrlib.store.revision.RevisionStoreTestProviderAdapter`` has moved to
3167
``bzrlib.tests.revisionstore_implementations``.
3168
``bzrlib.workingtree.WorkingTreeTestProviderAdapter`` has moved to
3169
``bzrlib.tests.workingtree_implementations``.
3170
These changes are an API break in the testing infrastructure only.
3171
(Robert Collins)
3172
3173
* Relocate TestCaseWithRepository to be more central. (Robert Collins)
3174
3175
* ``bzrlib.add.smart_add_tree`` will no longer perform glob expansion on
3176
win32. Callers of the function should do this and use the new
3177
``MutableTree.smart_add`` method instead. (Robert Collins)
3178
3179
* ``bzrlib.add.glob_expand_for_win32`` is now
3180
``bzrlib.win32utils.glob_expand``. (Robert Collins)
3181
3182
* ``bzrlib.add.FastPath`` is now private and moved to
3183
``bzrlib.mutabletree._FastPath``. (Robert Collins, Martin Pool)
3184
3185
* ``LockDir.wait`` removed. (Martin Pool)
3186
3187
* The ``SmartServer`` hooks API has changed for the ``server_started`` and
3188
``server_stopped`` hooks. The first parameter is now an iterable of
3189
backing URLs rather than a single URL. This is to reflect that many
3190
URLs may map to the external URL of the server. E.g. the server interally
3191
may have a chrooted URL but also the local file:// URL will be at the
3192
same location. (Robert Collins)
3193
3194
INTERNALS:
3195
3196
* New SMTPConnection class to unify email handling. (Adeodato Simó)
3197
3198
* Fix documentation of BzrError. (Adeodato Simó)
3199
3200
* Make BzrBadParameter an internal error. (Adeodato Simó)
3201
3202
* Remove use of 'assert False' to raise an exception unconditionally.
3203
(Martin Pool)
3204
3205
* Give a cleaner error when failing to decode knit index entry.
3206
(Martin Pool)
3207
3208
* TreeConfig would mistakenly search the top level when asked for options
3209
from a section. It now respects the section argument and only
3210
searches the specified section. (James Westby)
3211
3212
* Improve ``make api-docs`` output. (John Arbash Meinel)
3213
3214
* Use os.lstat rather than os.stat for osutils.make_readonly and
3215
osutils.make_writeable. This makes the difftools plugin more
3216
robust when dangling symlinks are found. (Elliot Murphy)
3217
3218
* New ``-Dlock`` option to log (to ~/.bzr.log) information on when
3219
lockdirs are taken or released. (Martin Pool)
3220
3221
* ``bzrlib`` Hooks are now nameable using ``Hooks.name_hook``. This
3222
allows a nicer UI when hooks are running as the current hook can
3223
be displayed. (Robert Collins)
3224
3225
* ``Transport.get`` has had its interface made more clear for ease of use.
3226
Retrieval of a directory must now fail with either 'PathError' at open
3227
time, or raise 'ReadError' on a read. (Robert Collins)
3228
3229
* New method ``_maybe_expand_globs`` on the ``Command`` class for
3230
dealing with unexpanded glob lists - e.g. on the win32 platform. This
3231
was moved from ``bzrlib.add._prepare_file_list``. (Robert Collins)
3232
3233
* ``bzrlib.add.smart_add`` and ``bzrlib.add.smart_add_tree`` are now
3234
deprecated in favour of ``MutableTree.smart_add``. (Robert Collins,
3235
Martin Pool)
3236
3237
* New method ``external_url`` on Transport for obtaining the url to
3238
hand to external processes. (Robert Collins)
3239
3240
* Teach windows installers to build pyrex/C extensions.
3241
(Alexander Belchenko)
3242
3243
TESTING:
3244
3245
* Removed the ``--keep-output`` option from selftest and clean up test
3246
directories as they're used. This reduces the IO load from
3247
running the test suite and cuts the time by about half.
3248
(Andrew Bennetts, Martin Pool)
3249
3250
* Add scenarios as a public attribute on the TestAdapter classes to allow
3251
modification of the generated scenarios before adaption and easier
3252
testing. (Robert Collins)
3253
3254
* New testing support class ``TestScenarioApplier`` which multiplies
3255
out a single teste by a list of supplied scenarios. (RobertCollins)
3256
3257
* Setting ``repository_to_test_repository`` on a repository_implementations
3258
test will cause it to be called during repository creation, allowing the
3259
testing of repository classes which are not based around the Format
3260
concept. For example a repository adapter can be tested in this manner,
3261
by altering the repository scenarios to include a scenario that sets this
3262
attribute during the test parameterisation in
3263
``bzrlib.tests.repository.repository_implementations``. (Robert Collins)
3264
3265
* Clean up many of the APIs for blackbox testing of Bazaar. The standard
3266
interface is now self.run_bzr. The command to run can be passed as
3267
either a list of parameters, a string containing the command line, or
3268
(deprecated) varargs parameters. (Martin Pool)
3269
3270
* The base TestCase now isolates tests from -D parameters by clearing
3271
``debug.debug_flags`` and restores it afterwards. (Robert Collins)
3272
3273
* Add a relpath parameter to get_transport methods in test framework to
3274
avoid useless cloning.

3293
NOTES WHEN UPGRADING:
3294
3295
* The kind() and is_executable() APIs on the WorkingTree interface no
3296
longer implicitly (read) locks and unlocks the tree. This *might*
3297
impact some plug-ins and tools using this part of the API. If you find
3298
an issue that may be caused by this change, please let us know,
3299
particularly the plug-in/tool maintainer. If encountered, the API
3300
fix is to surround kind() and is_executable() calls with lock_read()
3301
and unlock() like so::
3302
3303
work_tree.lock_read()
3304
try:
3305
kind = work_tree.kind(...)
3306
finally:
3307
work_tree.unlock()
3308
3309
INTERNALS:
3310
* Rework of LogFormatter API to provide beginning/end of log hooks and to
3311
encapsulate the details of the revision to be logged in a LogRevision
3312
object.
3313
In long log formats, merge revision ids are only shown when --show-ids
3314
is specified, and are labelled "revision-id:", as per mainline
3315
revisions, instead of "merged:". (Kent Gibson)
3316
3317
* New ``BranchBuilder`` API which allows the construction of particular
3318
histories quickly. Useful for testing and potentially other applications
3319
too. (Robert Collins)
3320
3321
IMPROVEMENTS:
3322
3323
* There are two new help topics, working-trees and repositories that
3324
attempt to explain these concepts. (James Westby, John Arbash Meinel,
3325
Aaron Bentley)
3326
3327
* Added ``bzr log --limit`` to report a limited number of revisions.
3328
(Kent Gibson, #3659)
3329
3330
* Revert does not try to preserve file contents that were originally
3331
produced by reverting to a historical revision. (Aaron Bentley)
3332
3333
* ``bzr log --short`` now includes ``[merge]`` for revisions which
3334
have more than one parent. This is a small improvement to help
3335
understanding what changes have occurred
3336
(John Arbash Meinel, #83887)
3337
3338
* TreeTransform avoids many renames when contructing large trees,
3339
improving speed. 3.25x speedups have been observed for construction of
3340
kernel-sized-trees, and checkouts are 1.28x faster. (Aaron Bentley)
3341
3342
* Commit on large trees is now faster. In my environment, a commit of
3343
a small change to the Mozilla tree (55k files) has dropped from
3344
66 seconds to 32 seconds. For a small tree of 600 files, commit of a
3345
small change is 33% faster. (Ian Clatworthy)
3346
3347
* New --create-prefix option to bzr init, like for push. (Daniel Watkins,
3348
#56322)
3349
3350
BUGFIXES:
3351
3352
* ``bzr push`` should only connect to the remote location one time.
3353
We have been connecting 3 times because we forget to pass around
3354
the Transport object. This adds ``BzrDir.clone_on_transport()``, so
3355
that we can pass in the Transport that we already have.
3356
(John Arbash Meinel, #75721)
3357
3358
* ``DirState.set_state_from_inventory()`` needs to properly order
3359
based on split paths, not just string paths.
3360
(John Arbash Meinel, #115947)
3361
3362
* Let TestUIFactoy encode the password prompt with its own stdout.
3363
(Vincent Ladeuil, #110204)
3364
3365
* pycurl should take use the range header that takes the range hint
3366
into account.
3367
(Vincent Ladeuil, #112719)
3368
3369
* WorkingTree4.get_file_sha1 no longer raises an exception when invoked
3370
on a missing file. (Aaron Bentley, #118186)
3371
3372
* WorkingTree.remove works correctly with tree references, and when pwd is
3373
not the tree root. (Aaron Bentley)
3374
3375
* Merge no longer fails when a file is renamed in one tree and deleted
3376
in the other. (Aaron Bentley, #110279)
3377
3378
* ``revision-info`` now accepts dotted revnos, doesn't require a tree,
3379
and defaults to the last revision (Matthew Fuller, #90048)
3380
3381
* Tests no longer fail when BZR_REMOTE_PATH is set in the environment.
3382
(Daniel Watkins, #111958)
3383
3384
* ``bzr branch -r revid:foo`` can be used to branch any revision in
3385
your repository. (Previously Branch6 only supported revisions in your
3386
mainline). (John Arbash Meinel, #115343)

3391
BUGFIXES:
3392
3393
* Handle when you have 2 directories with similar names, but one has a
3394
hyphen. (``'abc'`` versus ``'abc-2'``). The WT4._iter_changes
3395
iterator was using direct comparison and ``'abc/a'`` sorts after
3396
``'abc-2'``, but ``('abc', 'a')`` sorts before ``('abc-2',)``.
3397
(John Arbash Meinel, #111227)
3398
3399
* Handle when someone renames a file on disk without telling bzr.
3400
Previously we would report the first file as missing, but not show
3401
the new unknown file. (John Arbash Meinel, #111288)
3402
3403
* Avoid error when running hooks after pulling into or pushing from
3404
a branch bound to a smartserver branch. (Martin Pool, #111968)
3405
3406
IMPROVEMENTS:
3407
3408
* Move developer documentation to doc/developers/. This reduces clutter in
3409
the root of the source tree and allows HACKING to be split into multiple
3410
files. (Robert Collins, Alexander Belchenko)
3411
3412
* Clean up the ``WorkingTree4._iter_changes()`` internal loops as well as
3413
``DirState.update_entry()``. This optimizes the core logic for ``bzr
3414
diff`` and ``bzr status`` significantly improving the speed of
3415
both. (John Arbash Meinel)

-----------------------
3419
3420
BUGFIXES:
3421
3422
* Handle the case when you delete a file, and then rename another file
3423
on top of it. Also handle the case of ``bzr rm --keep foo``. ``bzr
3424
status`` should show the removed file and an unknown file in its
3425
place. (John Arbash Meinel, #109993)
3426
3427
* Bundles properly read and write revision properties that have an
3428
empty value. And when the value is not ASCII.
3429
(John Arbash Meinel, #109613)
3430
3431
* Fix the bzr commit message to be in text mode.
3432
(Alexander Belchenko, #110901)
3433
3434
* Also handle when you rename a file and create a file where it used
3435
to be. (John Arbash Meinel, #110256)
3436
3437
* ``WorkingTree4._iter_changes`` should not descend into unversioned
3438
directories. (John Arbash Meinel, #110399)

3441
-----------------------
3442
3443
NOTES WHEN UPGRADING:
3444
3445
* ``bzr remove`` and ``bzr rm`` will now remove the working file, if
3446
it could be recovered again.
3447
This has been done for consistency with svn and the unix rm command.
3448
The old ``remove`` behaviour has been retained in the new option
3449
``bzr remove --keep``, which will just stop versioning the file,
3450
but not delete it.
3451
``bzr remove --force`` have been added which will always delete the
3452
files.
3453
``bzr remove`` is also more verbose.
3454
(Marius Kruger, #82602)
3455
3456
IMPROVEMENTS:
3457
3458
* Merge directives can now be supplied as input to `merge` and `pull`,
3459
like bundles can. (Aaron Bentley)
3460
3461
* Sending the SIGQUIT signal to bzr, which can be done on Unix by
3462
pressing Control-Backslash, drops bzr into a debugger. Type ``'c'``
3463
to continue. This can be disabled by setting the environment variable
3464
``BZR_SIGQUIT_PDB=0``. (Martin Pool)
3465
3466
* selftest now supports --list-only to list tests instead of running
3467
them. (Ian Clatworthy)
3468
3469
* selftest now supports --exclude PATTERN (or -x PATTERN) to exclude
3470
tests with names that match that regular expression.
3471
(Ian Clatworthy, #102679)
3472
3473
* selftest now supports --randomize SEED to run tests in a random order.
3474
SEED is typically the value 'now' meaning 'use the current time'.
3475
(Ian Clatworthy, #102686)
3476
3477
* New option ``--fixes`` to commit, which stores bug fixing annotations as
3478
revision properties. Built-in support for Launchpad, Debian, Trac and
3479
Bugzilla bug trackers. (Jonathan Lange, James Henstridge, Robert Collins)
3480
3481
* New API, ``bzrlib.bugtracker.tracker_registry``, for adding support for
3482
other bug trackers to ``fixes``. (Jonathan Lange, James Henstridge,
3483
Robert Collins)
3484
3485
* ``selftest`` has new short options ``-f`` and ``-1``. (Martin
3486
Pool)
3487
3488
* ``bzrlib.tsort.MergeSorter`` optimizations. Change the inner loop
3489
into using local variables instead of going through ``self._var``.
3490
Improves the time to ``merge_sort`` a 10k revision graph by
3491
approximately 40% (~700->400ms). (John Arbash Meinel)
3492
3493
* ``make docs`` now creates a man page at ``man1/bzr.1`` fixing bug 107388.
3494
(Robert Collins)
3495
3496
* ``bzr help`` now provides cross references to other help topics using
3497
the _see_also facility on command classes. Likewise the bzr_man
3498
documentation, and the bzr.1 man page also include this information.
3499
(Robert Collins)
3500
3501
* Tags are now included in logs, that use the long log formatter.
3502
(Erik Bågfors, Alexander Belchenko)
3503
3504
* ``bzr help`` provides a clearer message when a help topic cannot be
3505
found. (Robert Collins, #107656)
3506
3507
* ``bzr help`` now accepts optional prefixes for command help. The help
3508
for all commands can now be found at ``bzr help commands/COMMANDNAME``
3509
as well as ``bzr help COMMANDNAME`` (which only works for commands
3510
where the name is not the same as a more general help topic).
3511
(Robert Collins)
3512
3513
* ``bzr help PLUGINNAME`` will now return the module docstring from the
3514
plugin PLUGINNAME. (Robert Collins, #50408)
3515
3516
* New help topic ``urlspec`` which lists the availables transports.
3517
(Goffredo Baroncelli)
3518
3519
* doc/server.txt updated to document the default bzr:// port
3520
and also update the blurb about the hpss' current status.
3521
(Robert Collins, #107125).
3522
3523
* ``bzr serve`` now listens on interface 0.0.0.0 by default, making it
3524
serve out to the local LAN (and anyone in the world that can reach the
3525
machine running ``bzr serve``. (Robert Collins, #98918)
3526
3527
* A new smart server protocol version has been added. It prefixes requests
3528
and responses with an explicit version identifier so that future protocol
3529
revisions can be dealt with gracefully. (Andrew Bennetts, Robert Collins)
3530
3531
* The bzr protocol version 2 indicates success or failure in every response
3532
without depending on particular commands encoding that consistently,
3533
allowing future client refactorings to be much more robust about error
3534
handling. (Robert Collins, Martin Pool, Andrew Bennetts)
3535
3536
* The smart protocol over HTTP client has been changed to always post to the
3537
same ``.bzr/smart`` URL under the original location when it can. This allows
3538
HTTP servers to only have to pass URLs ending in .bzr/smart to the smart
3539
server handler, and not arbitrary ``.bzr/*/smart`` URLs. (Andrew Bennetts)
3540
3541
* digest authentication is now supported for proxies and HTTP by the urllib
3542
based http implementation. Tested against Apache 2.0.55 and Squid
3543
2.6.5. Basic and digest authentication are handled coherently for HTTP
3544
and proxy: if the user is provided in the url (bzr command line for HTTP,
3545
proxy environment variables for proxies), the password is prompted for
3546
(only once). If the password is provided, it is taken into account. Once
3547
the first authentication is successful, all further authentication
3548
roundtrips are avoided by preventively setting the right authentication
3549
header(s).
3550
(Vincent Ladeuil).
3551
3552
INTERNALS:
3553
3554
* bzrlib API compatability with 0.8 has been dropped, cleaning up some
3555
code paths. (Robert Collins)
3556
3557
* Change the format of chroot urls so that they can be safely manipulated
3558
by generic url utilities without causing the resulting urls to have
3559
escaped the chroot. A side effect of this is that creating a chroot
3560
requires an explicit action using a ChrootServer.
3561
(Robert Collins, Andrew Bennetts)
3562
3563
* Deprecate ``Branch.get_root_id()`` because branches don't have root ids,
3564
rather than fixing bug #96847. (Aaron Bentley)
3565
3566
* ``WorkingTree.apply_inventory_delta`` provides a better alternative to
3567
``WorkingTree._write_inventory``. (Aaron Bentley)
3568
3569
* Convenience method ``TestCase.expectFailure`` ensures that known failures
3570
do not silently pass. (Aaron Bentley)
3571
3572
* ``Transport.local_abspath`` now raises ``NotLocalUrl`` rather than
3573
``TransportNotPossible``. (Martin Pool, Ian Clatworthy)
3574
3575
* New SmartServer hooks facility. There are two initial hooks documented
3576
in ``bzrlib.transport.smart.SmartServerHooks``. The two initial hooks allow
3577
plugins to execute code upon server startup and shutdown.
3578
(Robert Collins).
3579
3580
* SmartServer in standalone mode will now close its listening socket
3581
when it stops, rather than waiting for garbage collection. This primarily
3582
fixes test suite hangs when a test tries to connect to a shutdown server.
3583
It may also help improve behaviour when dealing with a server running
3584
on a specific port (rather than dynamically assigned ports).
3585
(Robert Collins)
3586
3587
* Move most SmartServer code into a new package, bzrlib/smart.
3588
bzrlib/transport/remote.py contains just the Transport classes that used
3589
to be in bzrlib/transport/smart.py. (Andrew Bennetts)
3590
3591
* urllib http implementation avoid roundtrips associated with
3592
401 (and 407) errors once the authentication succeeds.
3593
(Vincent Ladeuil).
3594
3595
* urlib http now supports querying the user for a proxy password if
3596
needed. Realm is shown in the prompt for both HTTP and proxy
3597
authentication when the user is required to type a password.
3598
(Vincent Ladeuil).
3599
3600
* Renamed SmartTransport (and subclasses like SmartTCPTransport) to
3601
RemoteTransport (and subclasses to RemoteTCPTransport, etc). This is more
3602
consistent with its new home in ``bzrlib/transport/remote.py``, and because
3603
it's not really a "smart" transport, just one that does file operations
3604
via remote procedure calls. (Andrew Bennetts)
3605
3606
* The ``lock_write`` method of ``LockableFiles``, ``Repository`` and
3607
``Branch`` now accept a ``token`` keyword argument, so that separate
3608
instances of those objects can share a lock if it has the right token.
3609
(Andrew Bennetts, Robert Collins)
3610
3611
* New method ``get_branch_reference`` on ``BzrDir`` allows the detection of
3612
branch references - which the smart server component needs.
3613
3614
* The Repository API ``make_working_trees`` is now permitted to return
3615
False when ``set_make_working_trees`` is not implemented - previously
3616
an unimplemented ``set_make_working_trees`` implied the result True
3617
from ``make_working_trees``. This has been changed to accomodate the
3618
smart server, where it does not make sense (at this point) to ever
3619
make working trees by default. (Robert Collins)
3620
3621
* Command objects can now declare related help topics by having _see_also
3622
set to a list of related topic. (Robert Collins)
3623
3624
* ``bzrlib.help`` now delegates to the Command class for Command specific
3625
help. (Robert Collins)
3626
3627
* New class ``TransportListRegistry``, derived from the Registry class, which
3628
simplifies tracking the available Transports. (Goffredo Baroncelli)
3629
3630
* New function ``Branch.get_revision_id_to_revno_map`` which will
3631
return a dictionary mapping revision ids to dotted revnos. Since
3632
dotted revnos are defined in the context of the branch tip, it makes
3633
sense to generate them from a ``Branch`` object.
3634
(John Arbash Meinel)
3635
3636
* Fix the 'Unprintable error' message display to use the repr of the
3637
exception that prevented printing the error because the str value
3638
for it is often not useful in debugging (e.g. KeyError('foo') has a
3639
str() of 'foo' but a repr of 'KeyError('foo')' which is much more
3640
useful. (Robert Collins)
3641
3642
* ``urlutils.normalize_url`` now unescapes unreserved characters, such as "~".
3643
(Andrew Bennetts)
3644
3645
BUGFIXES:
3646
3647
* Don't fail bundle selftest if email has 'two' embedded.
3648
(Ian Clatworthy, #98510)
3649
3650
* Remove ``--verbose`` from ``bzr bundle``. It didn't work anyway.
3651
(Robert Widhopf-Fenk, #98591)
3652
3653
* Remove ``--basis`` from the checkout/branch commands - it didn't work
3654
properly and is no longer beneficial.
3655
(Robert Collins, #53675, #43486)
3656
3657
* Don't produce encoding error when adding duplicate files.
3658
(Aaron Bentley)
3659
3660
* Fix ``bzr log <file>`` so it only logs the revisions that changed
3661
the file, and does it faster.
3662
(Kent Gibson, John Arbash Meinel, #51980, #69477)
3663
3664
* Fix ``InterDirstateTre._iter_changes`` to handle when we come across
3665
an empty versioned directory, which now has files in it.
3666
(John Arbash Meinel, #104257)
3667
3668
* Teach ``common_ancestor`` to shortcut when the tip of one branch is
3669
inside the ancestry of the other. Saves a lot of graph processing
3670
(with an ancestry of 16k revisions, ``bzr merge ../already-merged``
3671
changes from 2m10s to 13s). (John Arbash Meinel, #103757)
3672
3673
* Fix ``show_diff_trees`` to handle the case when a file is modified,
3674
and the containing directory is renamed. (The file path is different
3675
in this versus base, but it isn't marked as a rename).
3676
(John Arbash Meinel, #103870)
3677
3678
* FTP now works even when the FTP server does not support atomic rename.
3679
(Aaron Bentley, #89436)
3680
3681
* Correct handling in bundles and merge directives of timezones with
3682
that are not an integer number of hours offset from UTC. Always
3683
represent the epoch time in UTC to avoid problems with formatting
3684
earlier times on win32. (Martin Pool, Alexander Belchenko, John
3685
Arbash Meinel)
3686
3687
* Typo in the help for ``register-branch`` fixed. (Robert Collins, #96770)
3688
3689
* "dirstate" and "dirstate-tags" formats now produce branches compatible
3690
with old versions of bzr. (Aaron Bentley, #107168))
3691
3692
* Handle moving a directory when children have been added, removed,
3693
and renamed. (John Arbash Meinel, #105479)

* Don't preventively use basic authentication for proxy before receiving a
3696
407 error. Otherwise people willing to use other authentication schemes
3697
may expose their password in the clear (or nearly). This add one
3698
roundtrip in case basic authentication should be used, but plug the
3699
security hole.
3700
(Vincent Ladeuil)
3701
3702
* Handle http and proxy digest authentication.
3703
(Vincent Ladeuil, #94034).
3704
3705
TESTING:
3706
3707
* Added ``bzrlib.strace.strace`` which will strace a single callable and
3708
return a StraceResult object which contains just the syscalls involved
3709
in running it. (Robert Collins)
3710
3711
* New test method ``reduceLockdirTimeout`` to drop the default (ui-centric)
3712
default time down to one suitable for tests. (Andrew Bennetts)
3713
3714
* Add new ``vfs_transport_factory`` attribute on tests which provides the
3715
common vfs backing for both the readonly and readwrite transports.
3716
This allows the RemoteObject tests to back onto local disk or memory,
3717
and use the existing ``transport_server`` attribute all tests know about
3718
to be the smart server transport. This in turn allows tests to
3719
differentiate between 'transport to access the branch', and
3720
'transport which is a VFS' - which matters in Remote* tests.
3721
(Robert Collins, Andrew Bennetts)
3722
3723
* The ``make_branch_and_tree`` method for tests will now create a
3724
lightweight checkout for the tree if the ``vfs_transport_factory`` is not
3725
a LocalURLServer. (Robert Collins, Andrew Bennetts)
3726
3727
* Branch implementation tests have been audited to ensure that all urls
3728
passed to Branch APIs use proper urls, except when local-disk paths
3729
are intended. This is so that tests correctly access the test transport
3730
which is often not equivalent to local disk in Remote* tests. As part
3731
of this many tests were adjusted to remove dependencies on local disk
3732
access.
3733
(Robert Collins, Andrew Bennetts)
3734
3735
* Mark bzrlib.tests and bzrlib.tests.TestUtil as providing assertFOO helper
3736
functions by adding a ``__unittest`` global attribute. (Robert Collins,
3737
Andrew Bennetts, Martin Pool, Jonathan Lange)
3738
3739
* Refactored proxy and authentication handling to simplify the
3740
implementation of new auth schemes for both http and proxy.

CHANGES:
3759
3760
* A warning is now displayed when opening working trees in older
3761
formats, to encourage people to upgrade to WorkingTreeFormat4.
3762
(Martin Pool)
3763
3764
IMPROVEMENTS:
3765
3766
* HTTP redirections are now taken into account when a branch (or a
3767
bundle) is accessed for the first time. A message is issued at each
3768
redirection to inform the user. In the past, http redirections were
3769
silently followed for each request which significantly degraded the
3770
performances. The http redirections are not followed anymore by
3771
default, instead a RedirectRequested exception is raised. For bzrlib
3772
users needing to follow http redirections anyway,
3773
``bzrlib.transport.do_catching_redirections`` provide an easy transition
3774
path. (vila)
3775
3776
INTERNALS:
3777
3778
* Added ``ReadLock.temporary_write_lock()`` to allow upgrading an OS read
3779
lock to an OS write lock. Linux can do this without unlocking, Win32
3780
needs to unlock in between. (John Arbash Meinel)
3781
3782
* New parameter ``recommend_upgrade`` to ``BzrDir.open_workingtree``
3783
to silence (when false) warnings about opening old formats.
3784
(Martin Pool)
3785
3786
* Fix minor performance regression with bzr-0.15 on pre-dirstate
3787
trees. (We were reading the working inventory too many times).
3788
(John Arbash Meinel)
3789
3790
* Remove ``Branch.get_transaction()`` in favour of a simple cache of
3791
``revision_history``. Branch subclasses should override
3792
``_gen_revision_history`` rather than ``revision_history`` to make use of
3793
this cache, and call ``_clear_revision_history_cache`` and
3794
``_cache_revision_history`` at appropriate times. (Andrew Bennetts)
3795
3796
BUGFIXES:
3797
3798
* Take ``smtp_server`` from user config into account.
3799
(vila, #92195)
3800
3801
* Restore Unicode filename handling for versioned and unversioned files.
3802
(John Arbash Meinel, #92608)
3803
3804
* Don't fail during ``bzr commit`` if a file is marked removed, and
3805
the containing directory is auto-removed. (John Arbash Meinel, #93681)
3806
3807
* ``bzr status FILENAME`` failed on Windows because of an uncommon
3808
errno. (``ERROR_DIRECTORY == 267 != ENOTDIR``).
3809
(Wouter van Heyst, John Arbash Meinel, #90819)
3810
3811
* ``bzr checkout source`` should create a local branch in the same
3812
format as source. (John Arbash Meinel, #93854)
3813
3814
* ``bzr commit`` with a kind change was failing to update the
3815
last-changed-revision for directories. The
3816
InventoryDirectory._unchanged only looked at the ``parent_id`` and name,
3817
ignoring the fact that the kind could have changed, too.
3818
(John Arbash Meinel, #90111)
3819
3820
* ``bzr mv dir/subdir other`` was incorrectly updating files inside
3821
the directory. So that there was a chance it would break commit,
3822
etc. (John Arbash Meinel, #94037)
3823
3824
* Correctly handles mutiple permanent http redirections.

3828
-----------------------
3829
3830
NOTES WHEN UPGRADING:
3831
3832
* Release 0.15rc2 of bzr changes the ``bzr init-repo`` command to
3833
default to ``--trees`` instead of ``--no-trees``.
3834
Existing shared repositories are not affected.
3835
3836
IMPROVEMENTS:
3837
3838
* New ``merge-directive`` command to generate machine- and human-readable
3839
merge requests. (Aaron Bentley)
3840
3841
* New ``submit:`` revision specifier makes it easy to diff against the
3842
common ancestor with the submit location (Aaron Bentley)
3843
3844
* Added support for Putty's SSH implementation. (Dmitry Vasiliev)
3845
3846
* Added ``bzr status --versioned`` to report only versioned files,
3847
not unknowns. (Kent Gibson)
3848
3849
* Merge now autodetects the correct line-ending style for its conflict
3850
markers. (Aaron Bentley)
3851
3852
INTERNALS:
3853
3854
* Refactored SSH vendor registration into SSHVendorManager class.
3855
(Dmitry Vasiliev)
3856
3857
BUGFIXES:
3858
3859
* New ``--numbered-dirs`` option to ``bzr selftest`` to use
3860
numbered dirs for TestCaseInTempDir. This is default behavior
3861
on Windows. Anyone can force named dirs on Windows
3862
with ``--no-numbered-dirs``. (Alexander Belchenko)
3863
3864
* Fix ``RevisionSpec_revid`` to handle the Unicode strings passed in
3865
from the command line. (Marien Zwart, #90501)
3866
3867
* Fix ``TreeTransform._iter_changes`` when both the source and
3868
destination are missing. (Aaron Bentley, #88842)
3869
3870
* Fix commit of merges with symlinks in dirstate trees.
3871
(Marien Zwart)
3872
3873
* Switch the ``bzr init-repo`` default from --no-trees to --trees.

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

4051
(Aaron Bentley, Martin Pool, Robert Collins).
4052
4053
BUGFIXES:
4054
4055
* ``bzr annotate`` now uses dotted revnos from the viewpoint of the
4056
branch, rather than the last changed revision of the file.
4057
(John Arbash Meinel, #82158)
4058
4059
* Lock operations no longer hang if they encounter a permission problem.
4060
(Aaron Bentley)
4061
4062
* ``bzr push`` can resume a push that was canceled before it finished.
4063
Also, it can push even if the target directory exists if you supply
4064
the ``--use-existing-dir`` flag.
4065
(John Arbash Meinel, #30576, #45504)
4066
4067
* Fix http proxy authentication when user and an optional
4068
password appears in the ``*_proxy`` vars. (Vincent Ladeuil,
4069
#83954).
4070
4071
* ``bzr log branch/file`` works for local treeless branches
4072
(Aaron Bentley, #84247)
4073
4074
* Fix problem with UNC paths on Windows 98. (Alexander Belchenko, #84728)
4075
4076
* Searching location of CA bundle for PyCurl in env variable
4077
(``CURL_CA_BUNDLE``), and on win32 along the PATH.
4078
(Alexander Belchenko, #82086)
4079
4080
* ``bzr init`` works with unicode argument LOCATION.
4081
(Alexander Belchenko, #85599)

4083
* Raise ``DependencyNotPresent`` if pycurl do not support https.
4084
(Vincent Ladeuil, #85305)
4085
4086
* Invalid proxy env variables should not cause a traceback.
4087
(Vincent Ladeuil, #87765)
4088
4089
* Ignore patterns normalised to use '/' path separator.
4090
(Kent Gibson, #86451)

* Fix bzrtools shelve command for removed lines beginning with "--"
4095
(Johan Dahlberg, #75577)
4096

TESTING:
4098

4110
BUG FIXES:
4111
4112
* Skip documentation generation tests if the tools to do so are not
4113
available. Fixes running selftest for installled copies of bzr.
4114
(John Arbash Meinel, #80330)
4115
4116
* Fix the code that discovers whether bzr is being run from it's
4117
working tree to handle the case when it isn't but the directory
4118
it is in is below a repository. (James Westby, #77306)

4122
-----------------------
4123
4124
IMPROVEMENTS:
4125
4126
* New connection: ``bzr+http://`` which supports tunnelling the smart
4127
protocol over an HTTP connection. If writing is enabled on the bzr
4128
server, then you can write over the http connection.
4129
(Andrew Bennetts, John Arbash Meinel)
4130
4131
* Aliases now support quotation marks, so they can contain whitespace
4132
(Marius Kruger)
4133
4134
* PyCurlTransport now use a single curl object. By specifying explicitly
4135
the 'Range' header, we avoid the need to use two different curl objects
4136
(and two connections to the same server). (Vincent Ladeuil)
4137
4138
* ``bzr commit`` does not prompt for a message until it is very likely to
4139
succeed. (Aaron Bentley)
4140
4141
* ``bzr conflicts`` now takes --text to list pathnames of text conflicts
4142
(Aaron Bentley)
4143
4144
* Fix ``iter_lines_added_or_present_in_versions`` to use a set instead
4145
of a list while checking if a revision id was requested. Takes 10s
4146
off of the ``fileids_affected_by_revision_ids`` time, which is 10s
4147
of the ``bzr branch`` time. Also improve ``fileids_...`` time by
4148
filtering lines with a regex rather than multiple ``str.find()``
4149
calls. (saves another 300ms) (John Arbash Meinel)
4150
4151
* Policy can be set for each configuration key. This allows keys to be
4152
inherited properly across configuration entries. For example, this
4153
should enable you to do::
4154
4155
[/home/user/project]
4156
push_location = sftp://host/srv/project/
4157
push_location:policy = appendpath
4158
4159
And then a branch like ``/home/user/project/mybranch`` should get an
4160
automatic push location of ``sftp://host/srv/project/mybranch``.
4161
(James Henstridge)
4162
4163
* Added ``bzr status --short`` to make status report svn style flags
4164
for each file. For example::
4165
4166
$ bzr status --short
4167
A foo
4168
A bar
4169
D baz
4170
? wooley
4171
4172
* 'bzr selftest --clean-output' allows easily clean temporary tests
4173
directories without running tests. (Alexander Belchenko)
4174
4175
* ``bzr help hidden-commands`` lists all hidden commands. (Aaron Bentley)
4176
4177
* ``bzr merge`` now has an option ``--pull`` to fall back to pull if
4178
local is fully merged into remote. (Jan Hudec)
4179
4180
* ``bzr help formats`` describes available directory formats. (Aaron Bentley)
4181
4182
INTERNALS:
4183
4184
* A few tweaks directly to ``fileids_affected_by_revision_ids`` to
4185
help speed up processing, as well allowing to extract unannotated
4186
lines. Between the two ``fileids_affected_by_revision_ids`` is
4187
improved by approx 10%. (John Arbash Meinel)
4188
4189
* Change Revision serialization to only write out millisecond
4190
resolution. Rather than expecting floating point serialization to
4191
preserve more resolution than we need. (Henri Weichers, Martin Pool)
4192
4193
* Test suite ends cleanly on Windows. (Vincent Ladeuil)
4194
4195
* When ``encoding_type`` attribute of class Command is equal to 'exact',
4196
force sys.stdout to be a binary stream on Windows, and therefore
4197
keep exact line-endings (without LF -> CRLF conversion).
4198
(Alexander Belchenko)
4199
4200
* Single-letter short options are no longer globally declared. (Martin
4201
Pool)
4202
4203
* Before using detected user/terminal encoding bzr should check
4204
that Python has corresponding codec. (Alexander Belchenko)
4205
4206
* Formats for end-user selection are provided via a FormatRegistry (Aaron Bentley)
4207
4208
BUG FIXES:
4209
4210
* ``bzr missing --verbose`` was showing adds/removals in the wrong
4211
direction. (John Arbash Meinel)
4212
4213
* ``bzr annotate`` now defaults to showing dotted revnos for merged
4214
revisions. It cuts them off at a depth of 12 characters, but you can
4215
supply ``--long`` to see the full number. You can also use
4216
``--show-ids`` to display the original revision ids, rather than
4217
revision numbers and committer names. (John Arbash Meinel, #75637)
4218
4219
* bzr now supports Win32 UNC path (e.g. ``\HOST\path``.
4220
(Alexander Belchenko, #57869)
4221
4222
* Win32-specific: output of cat, bundle and diff commands don't mangle
4223
line-endings (Alexander Belchenko, #55276)
4224
4225
* Replace broken fnmatch based ignore pattern matching with custom pattern
4226
matcher.
4227
(Kent Gibson, Jan Hudec #57637)
4228
4229
* pycurl and urllib can detect short reads at different places. Update
4230
the test suite to test more cases. Also detect http error code 416
4231
which was raised for that specific bug. Also enhance the urllib
4232
robustness by detecting invalid ranges (and pycurl's one by detecting
4233
short reads during the initial GET). (Vincent Ladeuil, #73948)
4234
4235
* The urllib connection sharing interacts badly with urllib2
4236
proxy setting (the connections didn't go thru the proxy
4237
anymore). Defining a proper ProxyHandler solves the
4238
problem. (Vincent Ladeuil, #74759)
4239
4240
* Use urlutils to generate relative URLs, not osutils
4241
(Aaron Bentley, #76229)
4242
4243
* ``bzr status`` in a readonly directory should work without giving
4244
lots of errors. (John Arbash Meinel, #76299)
4245
4246
* Mention the revisionspec topic for the revision option help.
4247
(Wouter van Heyst, #31663)
4248
4249
* Allow plugins import from zip archives.

4261
IMPROVEMENTS:
4262
4263
* New command ``bzr remove-tree`` allows the removal of the working
4264
tree from a branch.
4265
(Daniel Silverstone)
4266
4267
* urllib uses shared keep-alive connections, so http
4268
operations are substantially faster.
4269
(Vincent Ladeuil, #53654)
4270
4271
* ``bzr export`` allows an optional branch parameter, to export a bzr
4272
tree from some other url. For example:
4273
``bzr export bzr.tar.gz http://bazaar-vcs.org/bzr/bzr.dev``
4274
(Daniel Silverstone)
4275
4276
* Added ``bzr help topics`` to the bzr help system. This gives a
4277
location for general information, outside of a specific command.
4278
This includes updates for ``bzr help revisionspec`` the first topic
4279
included. (Goffredo Baroncelli, John Arbash Meinel, #42714)
4280
4281
* WSGI-compatible HTTP smart server. See ``doc/http_smart_server.txt``.
4282
(Andrew Bennetts)
4283
4284
* Knit files will now cache full texts only when the size of the
4285
deltas is as large as the size of the fulltext. (Or after 200
4286
deltas, whichever comes first). This has the most benefit on large
4287
files with small changes, such as the inventory for a large project.
4288
(eg For a project with 2500 files, and 7500 revisions, it changes
4289
the size of inventory.knit from 11MB to 5.4MB) (John Arbash Meinel)
4290
4291
INTERNALS:
4292
4293
* New -D option given before the command line turns on debugging output
4294
for particular areas. -Derror shows tracebacks on all errors.
4295
(Martin Pool)
4296
4297
* Clean up ``bzr selftest --benchmark bundle`` to correct an import,
4298
and remove benchmarks that take longer than 10min to run.
4299
(John Arbash Meinel)
4300
4301
* Use ``time.time()`` instead of ``time.clock()`` to decide on
4302
progress throttling. Because ``time.clock()`` is actually CPU time,
4303
so over a high-latency connection, too many updates get throttled.
4304
(John Arbash Meinel)
4305
4306
* ``MemoryTransport.list_dir()`` would strip the first character for
4307
files or directories in root directory. (John Arbash Meinel)
4308
4309
* New method ``get_branch_reference`` on 'BzrDir' allows the detection of
4310
branch references - which the smart server component needs.
4311
4312
* New ``ChrootTransportDecorator``, accessible via the ``chroot+`` url
4313
prefix. It disallows any access to locations above a set URL. (Andrew
4314
Bennetts)
4315
4316
BUG FIXES:
4317
4318
* Now ``_KnitIndex`` properly decode revision ids when loading index data.
4319
And optimize the knit index parsing code.
4320
(Dmitry Vasiliev, John Arbash Meinel)
4321
4322
* ``bzrlib/bzrdir.py`` was directly referencing ``bzrlib.workingtree``,
4323
without importing it. This prevented ``bzr upgrade`` from working
4324
unless a plugin already imported ``bzrlib.workingtree``
4325
(John Arbash Meinel, #70716)
4326
4327
* Suppress the traceback on invalid URLs (Vincent Ladeuil, #70803).
4328
4329
* Give nicer error message when an http server returns a 403
4330
error code. (Vincent Ladeuil, #57644).
4331
4332
* When a multi-range http GET request fails, try a single
4333
range one. If it fails too, forget about ranges. Remember that until
4334
the death of the transport and propagates that to the clones.
4335
(Vincent Ladeuil, #62276, #62029).
4336
4337
* Handles user/passwords supplied in url from command
4338
line (for the urllib implementation). Don't request already
4339
known passwords (Vincent Ladeuil, #42383, #44647, #48527)
4340
4341
* ``_KnitIndex.add_versions()`` dictionary compresses revision ids as they
4342
are added. This fixes bug where fetching remote revisions records
4343
them as full references rather than integers.
4344
(John Arbash Meinel, #64789)
4345
4346
* ``bzr ignore`` strips trailing slashes in patterns.
4347
Also ``bzr ignore`` rejects absolute paths. (Kent Gibson, #4559)
4348
4349
* ``bzr ignore`` takes multiple arguments. (Cheuksan Edward Wang, #29488)
4350
4351
* mv correctly handles paths that traverse symlinks.
4352
(Aaron Bentley, #66964)
4353
4354
* Give nicer looking error messages when failing to connect over ssh.
4355
(John Arbash Meinel, #49172)
4356
4357
* Pushing to a remote branch does not currently update the remote working
4358
tree. After a remote push, ``bzr status`` and ``bzr diff`` on the remote
4359
machine now show that the working tree is out of date.
4360
(Cheuksan Edward Wang #48136)
4361
4362
* Use patiencediff instead of difflib for determining deltas to insert
4363
into knits. This avoids the O(N^3) behavior of difflib. Patience
4364
diff should be O(N^2). (Cheuksan Edward Wang, #65714)
4365
4366
* Running ``bzr log`` on nonexistent file gives an error instead of the
4367
entire log history. (Cheuksan Edward Wang #50793)
4368
4369
* ``bzr cat`` can look up contents of removed or renamed files. If the
4370
pathname is ambiguous, i.e. the files in the old and new trees have
4371
different id's, the default is the file in the new tree. The user can
4372
use "--name-from-revision" to select the file in the old tree.
4373
(Cheuksan Edward Wang, #30190)
4374
4375
TESTING:
4376
4377
* TestingHTTPRequestHandler really handles the Range header
4378
(previously it was ignoring it and returning the whole file,).

4381
--------------------
4382
4383
INTERNALS:
4384
4385
* Clean up ``bzr selftest --benchmark bundle`` to correct an import,
4386
and remove benchmarks that take longer than 10min to run.
4387
(John Arbash Meinel)
4388
4389
bzr 0.12rc1 2006-10-23
4390
-----------------------
4391
4392
IMPROVEMENTS:
4393
4394
* ``bzr log`` now shows dotted-decimal revision numbers for all revisions,
4395
rather than just showing a decimal revision number for revisions on the
4396
mainline. These revision numbers are not yet accepted as input into bzr
4397
commands such as log, diff etc. (Robert Collins)
4398
4399
* revisions can now be specified using dotted-decimal revision numbers.
4400
For instance, ``bzr diff -r 1.2.1..1.2.3``. (Robert Collins)
4401
4402
* ``bzr help commands`` output is now shorter (Aaron Bentley)
4403
4404
* ``bzr`` now uses lazy importing to reduce the startup time. This has
4405
a moderate effect on lots of actions, especially ones that have
4406
little to do. For example ``bzr rocks`` time is down to 116ms from
4407
283ms. (John Arbash Meinel)
4408
4409
* New Registry class to provide name-to-object registry-like support,
4410
for example for schemes where plugins can register new classes to
4411
do certain tasks (e.g. log formatters). Also provides lazy registration
4412
to allow modules to be loaded on request.
4413
(John Arbash Meinel, Adeodato Simó)
4414
4415
API INCOMPATABILITY:
4416
4417
* LogFormatter subclasses show now expect the 'revno' parameter to
4418
show() to be a string rather than an int. (Robert Collins)
4419
4420
INTERNALS:
4421
4422
* ``TestCase.run_bzr``, ``run_bzr_captured``, and ``run_bzr_subprocess``
4423
can take a ``working_dir='foo'`` parameter, which will change directory
4424
for the command. (John Arbash Meinel)
4425
4426
* ``bzrlib.lazy_regex.lazy_compile`` can be used to create a proxy
4427
around a regex, which defers compilation until first use.
4428
(John Arbash Meinel)
4429
4430
* ``TestCase.run_bzr_subprocess`` defaults to supplying the
4431
``--no-plugins`` parameter to ensure test reproducability, and avoid
4432
problems with system-wide installed plugins. (John Arbash Meinel)
4433
4434
* Unique tree root ids are now supported. Newly created trees still
4435
use the common root id for compatibility with bzr versions before 0.12.
4436
(Aaron Bentley)
4437
4438
* ``WorkingTree.set_root_id(None)`` is now deprecated. Please
4439
pass in ``inventory.ROOT_ID`` if you want the default root id value.
4440
(Robert Collins, John Arbash Meinel)
4441
4442
* New method ``WorkingTree.flush()`` which will write the current memory
4443
inventory out to disk. At the same time, ``read_working_inventory`` will
4444
no longer trash the current tree inventory if it has been modified within
4445
the current lock, and the tree will now ``flush()`` automatically on
4446
``unlock()``. ``WorkingTree.set_root_id()`` has been updated to take
4447
advantage of this functionality. (Robert Collins, John Arbash Meinel)
4448
4449
* ``bzrlib.tsort.merge_sorted`` now accepts ``generate_revnos``. This
4450
parameter will cause it to add another column to its output, which
4451
contains the dotted-decimal revno for each revision, as a tuple.
4452
(Robert Collins)
4453
4454
* ``LogFormatter.show_merge`` is deprecated in favour of
4455
``LogFormatter.show_merge_revno``. (Robert Collins)
4456
4457
BUG FIXES:
4458
4459
* Avoid circular imports by creating a deprecated function for
4460
``bzrlib.tree.RevisionTree``. Callers should have been using
4461
``bzrlib.revisontree.RevisionTree`` anyway. (John Arbash Meinel,
4462
#63360, #66349)
4463
4464
* Don't use ``socket.MSG_WAITALL`` as it doesn't exist on all
4465
platforms. (Martin Pool, #66356)
4466
4467
* Don't require ``Content-Type`` in range responses. Assume they are a
4468
single range if ``Content-Type`` does not exist.
4469
(John Arbash Meinel, #62473)
4470
4471
* bzr branch/pull no longer complain about progress bar cleanup when
4472
interrupted during fetch. (Aaron Bentley, #54000)
4473
4474
* ``WorkingTree.set_parent_trees()`` uses the trees to directly write
4475
the basis inventory, rather than going through the repository. This
4476
allows us to have 1 inventory read, and 2 inventory writes when
4477
committing a new tree. (John Arbash Meinel)
4478
4479
* When reverting, files that are not locally modified that do not exist
4480
in the target are deleted, not just unversioned (Aaron Bentley)
4481
4482
* When trying to acquire a lock, don't fail immediately. Instead, try
4483
a few times (up to 1 hour) before timing out. Also, report why the
4484
lock is unavailable (John Arbash Meinel, #43521, #49556)
4485
4486
* Leave HttpTransportBase daughter classes decides how they
4487
implement cloning. (Vincent Ladeuil, #61606)
4488
4489
* diff3 does not indicate conflicts on clean merge. (Aaron Bentley)
4490
4491
* If a commit fails, the commit message is stored in a file at the root of
4492
the tree for later commit. (Cheuksan Edward Wang, Stefan Metzmacher,
4493
#32054)
4494
4495
TESTING:
4496
4497
* New test base class TestCaseWithMemoryTransport offers memory-only
4498
testing facilities: its not suitable for tests that need to mutate disk
4499
state, but most tests should not need that and should be converted to
4500
TestCaseWithMemoryTransport. (Robert Collins)
4501
4502
* ``TestCase.make_branch_and_memory_tree`` now takes a format
4503
option to set the BzrDir, Repository and Branch formats of the
4504
created objects. (Robert Collins, John Arbash Meinel)
4505

4521
bzr 0.11rc1 2006-09-25
4522
-----------------------
4523
4524
IMPROVEMENTS:
4525
4526
* Knit files now wait to create their contents until the first data is
4527
added. The old code used to create an empty .knit and a .kndx with just
4528
the header. However, this caused a lot of extra round trips over sftp.
4529
This can change the time for ``bzr push`` to create a new remote branch
4530
from 160s down to 100s. This also affects ``bzr commit`` performance when
4531
adding new files, ``bzr commit`` on a new kernel-like tree drops from 50s
4532
down to 40s (John Arbash Meinel, #44692)
4533
4534
* When an entire subtree has been deleted, commit will now report that
4535
just the top of the subtree has been deleted, rather than reporting
4536
all the individual items. (Robert Collins)
4537
4538
* Commit performs one less XML parse. (Robert Collins)
4539
4540
* ``bzr checkout`` now operates on readonly branches as well
4541
as readwrite branches. This fixes bug #39542. (Robert Collins)
4542
4543
* ``bzr bind`` no longer synchronises history with the master branch.
4544
Binding should be followed by an update or push to synchronise the
4545
two branches. This is closely related to the fix for bug #39542.
4546
(Robert Collins)
4547
4548
* ``bzrlib.lazy_import.lazy_import`` function to create on-demand
4549
objects. This allows all imports to stay at the global scope, but
4550
modules will not actually be imported if they are not used.
4551
(John Arbash Meinel)
4552
4553
* Support ``bzr://`` and ``bzr+ssh://`` urls to work with the new RPC-based
4554
transport which will be used with the upcoming high-performance smart
4555
server. The new command ``bzr serve`` will invoke bzr in server mode,
4556
which processes these requests. (Andrew Bennetts, Robert Collins, Martin
4557
Pool)
4558
4559
* New command ``bzr version-info`` which can be used to get a summary
4560
of the current state of the tree. This is especially useful as part
4561
of a build commands. See ``doc/version_info.txt`` for more information
4562
(John Arbash Meinel)
4563
4564
BUG FIXES:
4565
4566
* ``'bzr inventory [FILE...]'`` allows restricting the file list to a
4567
specific set of files. (John Arbash Meinel, #3631)
4568
4569
* Don't abort when annotating empty files (John Arbash Meinel, #56814)
4570
4571
* Add ``Stanza.to_unicode()`` which can be passed to another Stanza
4572
when nesting stanzas. Also, add ``read_stanza_unicode`` to handle when
4573
reading a nested Stanza. (John Arbash Meinel)
4574
4575
* Transform._set_mode() needs to stat the right file.
4576
(John Arbash Meinel, #56549)
4577
4578
* Raise WeaveFormatError rather than StopIteration when trying to read
4579
an empty Weave file. (John Arbash Meinel, #46871)
4580
4581
* Don't access e.code for generic URLErrors, only HTTPErrors have .code.
4582
(Vincent Ladeuil, #59835)
4583
4584
* Handle boundary="" lines properly to allow access through a Squid proxy.
4585
(John Arbash Meinel, #57723)
4586
4587
* revert now removes newly-added directories (Aaron Bentley, #54172)
4588
4589
* ``bzr upgrade sftp://`` shouldn't fail to upgrade v6 branches if there
4590
isn't a working tree. (David Allouche, #40679)
4591
4592
* Give nicer error messages when a user supplies an invalid --revision
4593
parameter. (John Arbash Meinel, #55420)
4594
4595
* Handle when LANG is not recognized by python. Emit a warning, but
4596
just revert to using 'ascii'. (John Arbash Meinel, #35392)
4597
4598
* Don't use ``preexec_fn`` on win32, as it is not supported by subprocess.

* Skip specific tests when the dependencies aren't met. This includes
4602
some ``setup.py`` tests when ``python-dev`` is not available, and
4603
some tests that depend on paramiko. (John Arbash Meinel, Mattheiu Moy)
4604
4605
* Fallback to Paramiko properly, if no ``ssh`` executable exists on
4606
the system. (Andrew Bennetts, John Arbash Meinel)
4607
4608
* ``Branch.bind(other_branch)`` no longer takes a write lock on the
4609
other branch, and will not push or pull between the two branches.
4610
API users will need to perform a push or pull or update operation if they
4611
require branch synchronisation to take place. (Robert Collins, #47344)
4612
4613
* When creating a tarball or zipfile export, export unicode names as utf-8
4614
paths. This may not work perfectly on all platforms, but has the best
4615
chance of working in the common case. (John Arbash Meinel, #56816)
4616
4617
* When committing, only files that exist in working tree or basis tree
4618
may be specified (Aaron Bentley, #50793)
4619
4620
PORTABILITY:
4621
4622
* Fixes to run on Python 2.5 (Brian M. Carlson, Martin Pool, Marien Zwart)
4623
4624
INTERNALS:
4625
4626
* TestCaseInTempDir now creates a separate directory for HOME, rather
4627
than having HOME set to the same location as the working directory.
4628
(John Arbash Meinel)
4629
4630
* ``run_bzr_subprocess()`` can take an optional ``env_changes={}`` parameter,
4631
which will update os.environ inside the spawned child. It also can
4632
take a ``universal_newlines=True``, which helps when checking the output
4633
of the command. (John Arbash Meinel)
4634
4635
* Refactor SFTP vendors to allow easier re-use when ssh is used.
4636
(Andrew Bennetts)
4637
4638
* ``Transport.list_dir()`` and ``Transport.iter_files_recursive()`` should always
4639
return urlescaped paths. This is now tested (there were bugs in a few
4640
of the transports) (Andrew Bennetts, David Allouche, John Arbash Meinel)
4641
4642
* New utility function ``symbol_versioning.deprecation_string``. Returns the
4643
formatted string for a callable, deprecation format pair. (Robert Collins)
4644
4645
* New TestCase helper applyDeprecated. This allows you to call a callable
4646
which is deprecated without it spewing to the screen, just by supplying
4647
the deprecation format string issued for it. (Robert Collins)
4648
4649
* Transport.append and Transport.put have been deprecated in favor of
4650
``.append_bytes``, ``.append_file``, ``.put_bytes``, and
4651
``.put_file``. This removes the ambiguity in what type of object the
4652
functions take. ``Transport.non_atomic_put_{bytes,file}`` has also
4653
been added. Which works similarly to ``Transport.append()`` except for
4654
SFTP, it doesn't have a round trip when opening the file. Also, it
4655
provides functionality for creating a parent directory when trying
4656
to create a file, rather than raise NoSuchFile and forcing the
4657
caller to repeat their request.
4658
(John Arbash Meinel)
4659
4660
* WorkingTree has a new api ``unversion`` which allow the unversioning of
4661
entries by their file id. (Robert Collins)
4662
4663
* ``WorkingTree.pending_merges`` is deprecated. Please use the
4664
``get_parent_ids`` (introduced in 0.10) method instead. (Robert Collins)
4665
4666
* WorkingTree has a new ``lock_tree_write`` method which locks the branch for
4667
read rather than write. This is appropriate for actions which only need
4668
the branch data for reference rather than mutation. A new decorator
4669
``needs_tree_write_lock`` is provided in the workingtree module. Like the
4670
``needs_read_lock`` and ``needs_write_lock`` decorators this allows static
4671
declaration of the locking requirements of a function to ensure that
4672
a lock is taken out for casual scripts. (Robert Collins, #54107)
4673
4674
* All WorkingTree methods which write to the tree, but not to the branch
4675
have been converted to use ``needs_tree_write_lock`` rather than
4676
``needs_write_lock``. Also converted is the revert, conflicts and tree
4677
transform modules. This provides a modest performance improvement on
4678
metadir style trees, due to the reduce lock-acquisition, and a more
4679
significant performance improvement on lightweight checkouts from
4680
remote branches, where trivial operations used to pay a significant
4681
penalty. It also provides the basis for allowing readonly checkouts.
4682
(Robert Collins)
4683
4684
* Special case importing the standard library 'copy' module. This shaves
4685
off 40ms of startup time, while retaining compatibility. See:
4686
``bzrlib/inspect_for_copy.py`` for more details. (John Arbash Meinel)
4687
4688
* WorkingTree has a new parent class MutableTree which represents the
4689
specialisations of Tree which are able to be altered. (Robert Collins)
4690
4691
* New methods mkdir and ``put_file_bytes_non_atomic`` on MutableTree that
4692
mutate the tree and its contents. (Robert Collins)
4693
4694
* Transport behaviour at the root of the URL is now defined and tested.
4695
(Andrew Bennetts, Robert Collins)
4696
4697
TESTING:
4698
4699
* New test helper classs MemoryTree. This is typically accessed via
4700
``self.make_branch_and_memory_tree()`` in test cases. (Robert Collins)
4701
4702
* Add ``start_bzr_subprocess`` and ``stop_bzr_subprocess`` to allow test
4703
code to continue running concurrently with a subprocess of bzr.
4704
(Andrew Bennetts, Robert Collins)
4705
4706
* Add a new method ``Transport.get_smart_client()``. This is provided to
4707
allow upgrades to a richer interface than the VFS one provided by
4708
Transport. (Andrew Bennetts, Martin Pool)
4709
4710
bzr 0.10 2006-08-29
4711
--------------------
4712
4713
IMPROVEMENTS:
4714
* 'merge' now takes --uncommitted, to apply uncommitted changes from a
4715
tree. (Aaron Bentley)
4716
4717
* 'bzr add --file-ids-from' can be used to specify another path to use
4718
for creating file ids, rather than generating all new ones. Internally,
4719
the 'action' passed to ``smart_add_tree()`` can return ``file_ids`` that
4720
will be used, rather than having bzrlib generate new ones.
4721
(John Arbash Meinel, #55781)
4722
4723
* ``bzr selftest --benchmark`` now allows a ``--cache-dir`` parameter.
4724
This will cache some of the intermediate trees, and decrease the
4725
setup time for benchmark tests. (John Arbash Meinel)
4726
4727
* Inverse forms are provided for all boolean options. For example,
4728
--strict has --no-strict, --no-recurse has --recurse (Aaron Bentley)
4729
4730
* Serialize out Inventories directly, rather than using ElementTree.
4731
Writing out a kernel sized inventory drops from 2s down to ~350ms.
4732
(Robert Collins, John Arbash Meinel)
4733
4734
BUG FIXES:
4735
4736
* Help diffutils 2.8.4 get along with binary tests (Marien Zwart: #57614)
4737
4738
* Change LockDir so that if the lock directory doesn't exist when
4739
``lock_write()`` is called, an attempt will be made to create it.
4740
(John Arbash Meinel, #56974)
4741
4742
* ``bzr uncommit`` preserves pending merges. (John Arbash Meinel, #57660)
4743
4744
* Active FTP transport now works as intended. (ghozzy, #56472)
4745
4746
* Really fix mutter() so that it won't ever raise a UnicodeError.
4747
It means it is possible for ~/.bzr.log to contain non UTF-8 characters.
4748
But it is a debugging log, not a real user file.
4749
(John Arbash Meinel, #56947, #53880)
4750
4751
* Change Command handle to allow Unicode command and options.
4752
At present we cannot register Unicode command names, so we will get
4753
BzrCommandError('unknown command'), or BzrCommandError('unknown option')
4754
But that is better than a UnicodeError + a traceback.
4755
(John Arbash Meinel, #57123)
4756
4757
* Handle TZ=UTC properly when reading/writing revisions.
4758
(John Arbash Meinel, #55783, #56290)
4759
4760
* Use ``GPG_TTY`` to allow gpg --cl to work with gpg-agent in a pipeline,
4761
(passing text to sign in on stdin). (John Arbash Meinel, #54468)
4762
4763
* External diff does the right thing for binaries even in foreign
4764
languages. (John Arbash Meinel, #56307)
4765
4766
* Testament handles more cases when content is unicode. Specific bug was
4767
in handling of revision properties.
4768
(John Arbash Meinel, Holger Krekel, #54723)
4769
4770
* The bzr selftest was failing on installed versions due to a bug in a new
4771
test helper. (John Arbash Meinel, Robert Collins, #58057)
4772
4773
INTERNALS:
4774
4775
* ``bzrlib.cache_utf8`` contains ``encode()`` and ``decode()`` functions
4776
which can be used to cache the conversion between utf8 and Unicode.
4777
Especially helpful for some of the knit annotation code, which has to
4778
convert revision ids to utf8 to annotate lines in storage.
4779
(John Arbash Meinel)
4780
4781
* ``setup.py`` now searches the filesystem to find all packages which
4782
need to be installed. This should help make the life of packagers
4783
easier. (John Arbash Meinel)
4784
4785
bzr 0.9.0 2006-08-11
4786
---------------------
4787
4788
SURPRISES:
4789
4790
* The hard-coded built-in ignore rules have been removed. There are
4791
now two rulesets which are enforced. A user global one in
4792
``~/.bazaar/ignore`` which will apply to every tree, and the tree
4793
specific one '.bzrignore'.
4794
``~/.bazaar/ignore`` will be created if it does not exist, but with
4795
a more conservative list than the old default.
4796
This fixes bugs with default rules being enforced no matter what.
4797
The old list of ignore rules from bzr is available by
4798
running 'bzr ignore --old-default-rules'.
4799
(Robert Collins, Martin Pool, John Arbash Meinel)
4800
4801
* 'branches.conf' has been changed to 'locations.conf', since it can apply
4802
to more locations than just branch locations.
4803
(Aaron Bentley)
4804
4805
IMPROVEMENTS:
4806
4807
* The revision specifier "revno:" is extended to accept the syntax
4808
revno:N:branch. For example,
4809
revno:42:http://bazaar-vcs.org/bzr/bzr.dev/ means revision 42 in
4810
bzr.dev. (Matthieu Moy)
4811
4812
* Tests updates to ensure proper URL handling, UNICODE support, and
4813
proper printing when the user's terminal encoding cannot display
4814
the path of a file that has been versioned.
4815
``bzr branch`` can take a target URL rather than only a local directory.
4816
``Branch.get_parent()/set_parent()`` now save a relative path if possible,
4817
and normalize the parent based on root, allowing access across
4818
different transports. (John Arbash Meinel, Wouter van Heyst, Martin Pool)
4819
(Malone #48906, #42699, #40675, #5281, #3980, #36363, #43689,
4820
#42517, #42514)
4821
4822
* On Unix, detect terminal width using an ioctl not just $COLUMNS.
4823
Use terminal width for single-line logs from ``bzr log --line`` and
4824
pending-merge display. (Robert Widhopf-Fenk, Gustavo Niemeyer)
4825
(Malone #3507)
4826
4827
* On Windows, detect terminal width using GetConsoleScreenBufferInfo.
4828
(Alexander Belchenko)
4829
4830
* Speedup improvement for 'date:'-revision search. (Guillaume Pinot).
4831
4832
* Show the correct number of revisions pushed when pushing a new branch.
4833
(Robert Collins).
4834
4835
* 'bzr selftest' now shows a progress bar with the number of tests, and
4836
progress made. 'make check' shows tests in -v mode, to be more useful
4837
for the PQM status window. (Robert Collins).
4838
When using a progress bar, failed tests are printed out, rather than
4839
being overwritten by the progress bar until the suite finishes.
4840
(John Arbash Meinel)
4841
4842
* 'bzr selftest --benchmark' will run a new benchmarking selftest.
4843
'bzr selftest --benchmark --lsprof-timed' will use lsprofile to generate
4844
profile data for the individual profiled calls, allowing for fine
4845
grained analysis of performance.
4846
(Robert Collins, Martin Pool).
4847
4848
* 'bzr commit' shows a progress bar. This is useful for commits over sftp
4849
where commit can take an appreciable time. (Robert Collins)
4850
4851
* 'bzr add' is now less verbose in telling you what ignore globs were
4852
matched by files being ignored. Instead it just tells you how many
4853
were ignored (because you might reasonably be expecting none to be
4854
ignored). 'bzr add -v' is unchanged and will report every ignored
4855
file. (Robert Collins).
4856
4857
* ftp now has a test server if medusa is installed. As part of testing,
4858
ftp support has been improved, including support for supplying a
4859
non-standard port. (John Arbash Meinel).
4860
4861
* 'bzr log --line' shows the revision number, and uses only the
4862
first line of the log message (#5162, Alexander Belchenko;
4863
Matthieu Moy)
4864
4865
* 'bzr status' has had the --all option removed. The 'bzr ls' command
4866
should be used to retrieve all versioned files. (Robert Collins)
4867
4868
* 'bzr bundle OTHER/BRANCH' will create a bundle which can be sent
4869
over email, and applied on the other end, while maintaining ancestry.
4870
This bundle can be applied with either 'bzr merge' or 'bzr pull',
4871
the same way you would apply another branch.
4872
(John Arbash Meinel, Aaron Bentley)
4873
4874
* 'bzr whoami' can now be used to set your identity from the command line,
4875
for a branch or globally. (Robey Pointer)
4876
4877
* 'bzr checkout' now aliased to 'bzr co', and 'bzr annotate' to 'bzr ann'.
4878
(Michael Ellerman)
4879
4880
* 'bzr revert DIRECTORY' now reverts the contents of the directory as well.
4881
(Aaron Bentley)
4882
4883
* 'bzr get sftp://foo' gives a better error when paramiko is not present.
4884
Also updates things like 'http+pycurl://' if pycurl is not present.
4885
(John Arbash Meinel) (Malone #47821, #52204)
4886
4887
* New env variable ``BZR_PROGRESS_BAR``, sets the default progress bar type.
4888
Can be set to 'none' or 'dummy' to disable the progress bar, 'dots' or
4889
'tty' to create the respective type. (John Arbash Meinel, #42197, #51107)
4890
4891
* Improve the help text for 'bzr diff' to explain what various options do.
4892
(John Arbash Meinel, #6391)
4893
4894
* 'bzr uncommit -r 10' now uncommits revisions 11.. rather than uncommitting
4895
revision 10. This makes -r10 more in line with what other commands do.
4896
'bzr uncommit' also now saves the pending merges of the revisions that
4897
were removed. So it is safe to uncommit after a merge, fix something,
4898
and commit again. (John Arbash Meinel, #32526, #31426)
4899
4900
* 'bzr init' now also works on remote locations.
4901
(Wouter van Heyst, #48904)
4902
4903
* HTTP support has been updated. When using pycurl we now support
4904
connection keep-alive, which reduces dns requests and round trips.
4905
And for both urllib and pycurl we support multi-range requests,
4906
which decreases the number of round-trips. Performance results for
4907
``bzr branch http://bazaar-vcs.org/bzr/bzr.dev/`` indicate
4908
http branching is now 2-3x faster, and ``bzr pull`` in an existing
4909
branch is as much as 4x faster.
4910
(Michael Ellerman, Johan Rydberg, John Arbash Meinel, #46768)
4911
4912
* Performance improvements for sftp. Branching and pulling are now up to
4913
2x faster. Utilize paramiko.readv() support for async requests if it
4914
is available (paramiko > 1.6) (John Arbash Meinel)
4915
4916
BUG FIXES:
4917
4918
* Fix shadowed definition of TestLocationConfig that caused some
4919
tests not to run.
4920
(Erik Bågfors, Michael Ellerman, Martin Pool, #32587)
4921
4922
* Fix unnecessary requirement of sign-my-commits that it be run from
4923
a working directory. (Martin Pool, Robert Collins)
4924
4925
* 'bzr push location' will only remember the push location if it succeeds
4926
in connecting to the remote location. (John Arbash Meinel, #49742)
4927
4928
* 'bzr revert' no longer toggles the executable bit on win32
4929
(John Arbash Meinel, #45010)
4930
4931
* Handle broken pipe under win32 correctly. (John Arbash Meinel)
4932
4933
* sftp tests now work correctly on win32 if you have a newer paramiko
4934
(John Arbash Meinel)
4935
4936
* Cleanup win32 test suite, and general cleanup of places where
4937
file handles were being held open. (John Arbash Meinel)
4938
4939
* When specifying filenames for 'diff -r x..y', the name of the file in the
4940
working directory can be used, even if its name is different in both x
4941
and y.
4942
4943
* File-ids containing single- or double-quotes are handled correctly by
4944
push. (Aaron Bentley, #52227)
4945
4946
* Normalize unicode filenames to ensure cross-platform consistency.
4947
(John Arbash Meinel, #43689)
4948
4949
* The argument parser can now handle '-' as an argument. Currently
4950
no code interprets it specially (it is mostly handled as a file named
4951
'-'). But plugins, and future operations can use it.
4952
(John Arbash meinel, #50984)
4953
4954
* Bundles can properly read binary files with a plain '\r' in them.
4955
(John Arbash Meinel, #51927)
4956
4957
* Tuning ``iter_entries()`` to be more efficient (John Arbash Meinel, #5444)
4958
4959
* Lots of win32 fixes (the test suite passes again).
4960
(John Arbash Meinel, #50155)
4961
4962
* Handle openbsd returning None for sys.getfilesystemencoding() (#41183)
4963
4964
* Support ftp APPE (append) to allow Knits to be used over ftp (#42592)
4965
4966
* Removals are only committed if they match the filespec (or if there is
4967
no filespec). (#46635, Aaron Bentley)
4968
4969
* smart-add recurses through all supplied directories
4970
(John Arbash Meinel, #52578)
4971
4972
* Make the bundle reader extra lines before and after the bundle text.
4973
This allows you to parse an email with the bundle inline.
4974
(John Arbash Meinel, #49182)
4975
4976
* Change the file id generator to squash a little bit more. Helps when
4977
working with long filenames on windows. (Also helps for unicode filenames
4978
not generating hidden files). (John Arbash Meinel, #43801)
4979
4980
* Restore terminal mode on C-c while reading sftp password. (#48923,
4981
Nicholas Allen, Martin Pool)
4982
4983
* Timestamps are rounded to 1ms, and revision entries can be recreated
4984
exactly. (John Arbash Meinel, Jamie Wilkinson, #40693)
4985
4986
* Branch.base has changed to a URL, but ~/.bazaar/locations.conf should
4987
use local paths, since it is user visible (John Arbash Meinel, #53653)
4988
4989
* ``bzr status foo`` when foo was unversioned used to cause a full delta
4990
to be generated (John Arbash Meinel, #53638)
4991
4992
* When reading revision properties, an empty value should be considered
4993
the empty string, not None (John Arbash Meinel, #47782)
4994
4995
* ``bzr diff --diff-options`` can now handle binary files being changed.
4996
Also, the output is consistent when --diff-options is not supplied.
4997
(John Arbash Meinel, #54651, #52930)
4998
4999
* Use the right suffixes for loading plugins (John Arbash Meinel, #51810)
5000
5001
* Fix ``Branch.get_parent()`` to handle the case when the parent is not
5002
accessible (John Arbash Meinel, #52976)
5003
5004
INTERNALS:
5005
5006
* Combine the ignore rules into a single regex rather than looping over
5007
them to reduce the threshold where N^2 behaviour occurs in operations
5008
like status. (Jan Hudec, Robert Collins).
5009
5010
* Appending to ``bzrlib.DEFAULT_IGNORE`` is now deprecated. Instead, use
5011
one of the add functions in bzrlib.ignores. (John Arbash Meinel)
5012
5013
* 'bzr push' should only push the ancestry of the current revision, not
5014
all of the history in the repository. This is especially important for
5015
shared repositories. (John Arbash Meinel)
5016
5017
* ``bzrlib.delta.compare_trees`` now iterates in alphabetically sorted order,
5018
rather than randomly walking the inventories. (John Arbash Meinel)
5019
5020
* Doctests are now run in temporary directories which are cleaned up when
5021
they finish, rather than using special ScratchDir/ScratchBranch objects.

(Martin Pool)
5023
5024
* Split ``check`` into separate methods on the branch and on the repository,
5025
so that it can be specialized in ways that are useful or efficient for
5026
different formats. (Martin Pool, Robert Collins)
5027
5028
* Deprecate ``Repository.all_revision_ids``; most methods don't really need
5029
the global revision graph but only that part leading up to a particular
5030
revision. (Martin Pool, Robert Collins)
5031
5032
* Add a BzrDirFormat ``control_formats`` list which allows for control formats
5033
that do not use '.bzr' to store their data - i.e. '.svn', '.hg' etc.
5034
(Robert Collins, Jelmer Vernooij).
5035
5036
* ``bzrlib.diff.external_diff`` can be redirected to any file-like object.
5037
Uses subprocess instead of spawnvp.

* New command line option '--profile-imports', which will install a custom
5041
importer to log time to import modules and regex compilation time to
5042
sys.stderr (John Arbash Meinel)
5043
5044
* 'EmptyTree' is now deprecated, please use ``repository.revision_tree(None)``
5045
instead. (Robert Collins)
5046
5047
* "RevisionTree" is now in bzrlib/revisiontree.py. (Robert Collins)

5104
bzr 0.8 2006-05-08
5105
-------------------
5106
5107
NOTES WHEN UPGRADING:
5108
5109
Release 0.8 of bzr introduces a new format for history storage, called
5110
'knit', as an evolution of to the 'weave' format used in 0.7. Local
5111
and remote operations are faster using knits than weaves. Several
5112
operations including 'init', 'init-repo', and 'upgrade' take a
5113
--format option that controls this. Branching from an existing branch
5114
will keep the same format.
5115
5116
It is possible to merge, pull and push between branches of different
5117
formats but this is slower than moving data between homogenous
5118
branches. It is therefore recommended (but not required) that you
5119
upgrade all branches for a project at the same time. Information on
5120
formats is shown by 'bzr info'.
5121
5122
bzr 0.8 now allows creation of 'repositories', which hold the history
5123
of files and revisions for several branches. Previously bzr kept all
5124
the history for a branch within the .bzr directory at the root of the
5125
branch, and this is still the default. To create a repository, use
5126
the new 'bzr init-repo' command. Branches exist as directories under
5127
the repository and contain just a small amount of information
5128
indicating the current revision of the branch.
5129
5130
bzr 0.8 also supports 'checkouts', which are similar to in cvs and
5131
subversion. Checkouts are associated with a branch (optionally in a
5132
repository), which contains all the historical information. The
5133
result is that a checkout can be deleted without losing any
5134
already-committed revisions. A new 'update' command is also available.
5135
5136
Repositories and checkouts are not supported with the 0.7 storage
5137
format. To use them you must upgrad to either knits, or to the
5138
'metaweave' format, which uses weaves but changes the .bzr directory
5139
arrangement.
5140
5141
5142
IMPROVEMENTS:
5143
5144
* Sftp paths can now be relative, or local, according to the lftp
5145
convention. Paths now take the form::
5146
5147
sftp://user:pass@host:port/~/relative/path
5148
or
5149
sftp://user:pass@host:port/absolute/path
5150
5151
* The FTP transport now tries to reconnect after a temporary
5152
failure. ftp put is made atomic. (Matthieu Moy)
5153
5154
* The FTP transport now maintains a pool of connections, and
5155
reuses them to avoid multiple connections to the same host (like
5156
sftp did). (Daniel Silverstone)
5157
5158
* The ``bzr_man.py`` file has been removed. To create the man page now,
5159
use ``./generate_docs.py man``. The new program can also create other files.
5160
Run ``python generate_docs.py --help`` for usage information.
5161
(Hans Ulrich Niedermann & James Blackwell).
5162
5163
* Man Page now gives full help (James Blackwell).
5164
Help also updated to reflect user config now being stored in .bazaar
5165
(Hans Ulrich Niedermann)
5166
5167
* It's now possible to set aliases in bazaar.conf (Erik Bågfors)
5168
5169
* Pull now accepts a --revision argument (Erik Bågfors)
5170
5171
* ``bzr re-sign`` now allows multiple revisions to be supplied on the command
5172
line. You can now use the following command to sign all of your old
5173
commits::
5174
5175
find .bzr/revision-store// -name my@email-* \
5176
| sed 's/.*\/\/..\///' \
5177
| xargs bzr re-sign
5178
5179
* Upgrade can now upgrade over the network. (Robert Collins)
5180
5181
* Two new commands 'bzr checkout' and 'bzr update' allow for CVS/SVN-alike
5182
behaviour. By default they will cache history in the checkout, but
5183
with --lightweight almost all data is kept in the master branch.
5184
(Robert Collins)
5185
5186
* 'revert' unversions newly-versioned files, instead of deleting them.
5187
5188
* 'merge' is more robust. Conflict messages have changed.
5189
5190
* 'merge' and 'revert' no longer clobber existing files that end in '~' or
5191
'.moved'.
5192
5193
* Default log format can be set in configuration and plugins can register
5194
their own formatters. (Erik Bågfors)
5195
5196
* New 'reconcile' command will check branch consistency and repair indexes
5197
that can become out of sync in pre 0.8 formats. (Robert Collins,
5198
Daniel Silverstone)
5199
5200
* New 'bzr init --format' and 'bzr upgrade --format' option to control
5201
what storage format is created or produced. (Robert Collins,
5202
Martin Pool)
5203
5204
* Add parent location to 'bzr info', if there is one. (Olaf Conradi)
5205
5206
* New developer commands 'weave-list' and 'weave-join'. (Martin Pool)
5207
5208
* New 'init-repository' command, plus support for repositories in 'init'
5209
and 'branch' (Aaron Bentley, Erik Bågfors, Robert Collins)
5210
5211
* Improve output of 'info' command. Show all relevant locations related to
5212
working tree, branch and repository. Use kibibytes for binary quantities.
5213
Fix off-by-one error in missing revisions of working tree. Make 'info'
5214
work on branches, repositories and remote locations. Show locations
5215
relative to the shared repository, if applicable. Show locking status
5216
of locations. (Olaf Conradi)
5217
5218
* Diff and merge now safely handle binary files. (Aaron Bentley)
5219
5220
* 'pull' and 'push' now normalise the revision history, so that any two
5221
branches with the same tip revision will have the same output from 'log'.
5222
(Robert Collins)
5223
5224
* 'merge' accepts --remember option to store parent location, like 'push'
5225
and 'pull'. (Olaf Conradi)
5226
5227
* bzr status and diff when files given as arguments do not exist
5228
in the relevant trees. (Martin Pool, #3619)
5229
5230
* Add '.hg' to the default ignore list. (Martin Pool)
5231
5232
* 'knit' is now the default disk format. This improves disk performance and
5233
utilization, increases incremental pull performance, robustness with SFTP
5234
and allows checkouts over SFTP to perform acceptably.
5235
The initial Knit code was contributed by Johan Rydberg based on a
5236
specification by Martin Pool.
5237
(Robert Collins, Aaron Bentley, Johan Rydberg, Martin Pool).
5238
5239
* New tool to generate all-in-one html version of the manual. (Alexander
5240
Belchenko)
5241
5242
* Hitting CTRL-C while doing an SFTP push will no longer cause stale locks
5243
to be left in the SFTP repository. (Robert Collins, Martin Pool).
5244
5245
* New option 'diff --prefix' to control how files are named in diff
5246
output, with shortcuts '-p0' and '-p1' corresponding to the options for
5247
GNU patch. (Alexander Belchenko, Goffredo Baroncelli, Martin Pool)
5248
5249
* Add --revision option to 'annotate' command. (Olaf Conradi)
5250
5251
* If bzr shows an unexpected revision-history after pulling (perhaps due
5252
to a reweave) it can now be corrected by 'bzr reconcile'.
5253
(Robert Collins)
5254
5255
CHANGES:
5256
5257
* Commit is now verbose by default, and shows changed filenames and the
5258
new revision number. (Robert Collins, Martin Pool)
5259
5260
* Unify 'mv', 'move', 'rename'. (Matthew Fuller, #5379)
5261
5262
* 'bzr -h' shows help. (Martin Pool, Ian Bicking, #35940)
5263
5264
* Make 'pull' and 'push' remember location on failure using --remember.
5265
(Olaf Conradi)
5266
5267
* For compatibility, make old format for using weaves inside metadir
5268
available as 'metaweave' format. Rename format 'metadir' to 'default'.
5269
Clean up help for option --format in commands 'init', 'init-repo' and
5270
'upgrade'. (Olaf Conradi)
5271
5272
INTERNALS:
5273
5274
* The internal storage of history, and logical branch identity have now
5275
been split into Branch, and Repository. The common locking and file
5276
management routines are now in bzrlib.lockablefiles.
5277
(Aaron Bentley, Robert Collins, Martin Pool)
5278
5279
* Transports can now raise DependencyNotPresent if they need a library
5280
which is not installed, and then another implementation will be
5281
tried. (Martin Pool)
5282
5283
* Remove obsolete (and no-op) `decode` parameter to `Transport.get`.
5284
(Martin Pool)
5285
5286
* Using Tree Transform for merge, revert, tree-building
5287
5288
* WorkingTree.create, Branch.create, ``WorkingTree.create_standalone``,
5289
Branch.initialize are now deprecated. Please see ``BzrDir.create_*`` for
5290
replacement API's. (Robert Collins)
5291
5292
* New BzrDir class represents the .bzr control directory and manages
5293
formatting issues. (Robert Collins)
5294
5295
* New repository.InterRepository class encapsulates Repository to
5296
Repository actions and allows for clean selection of optimised code
5297
paths. (Robert Collins)
5298
5299
* ``bzrlib.fetch.fetch`` and ``bzrlib.fetch.greedy_fetch`` are now
5300
deprecated, please use ``branch.fetch`` or ``repository.fetch``
5301
depending on your needs. (Robert Collins)
5302
5303
* deprecated methods now have a ``is_deprecated`` flag on them that can
5304
be checked, if you need to determine whether a given callable is
5305
deprecated at runtime. (Robert Collins)
5306
5307
* Progress bars are now nested - see
5308
``bzrlib.ui.ui_factory.nested_progress_bar``.
5309
(Robert Collins, Robey Pointer)
5310
5311
* New API call ``get_format_description()`` for each type of format.
5312
(Olaf Conradi)
5313
5314
* Changed ``branch.set_parent()`` to accept None to remove parent.
5315
(Olaf Conradi)
5316
5317
* Deprecated BzrError AmbiguousBase. (Olaf Conradi)
5318
5319
* WorkingTree.branch is now a read only property. (Robert Collins)
5320
5321
* bzrlib.ui.text.TextUIFactory now accepts a ``bar_type`` parameter which
5322
can be None or a factory that will create a progress bar. This is
5323
useful for testing or for overriding the bzrlib.progress heuristic.
5324
(Robert Collins)
5325
5326
* New API method ``get_physical_lock_status()`` to query locks present on a
5327
transport. (Olaf Conradi)
5328
5329
* Repository.reconcile now takes a thorough keyword parameter to allow
5330
requesting an indepth reconciliation, rather than just a data-loss
5331
check. (Robert Collins)
5332
5333
* ``bzrlib.ui.ui_factory protocol`` now supports ``get_boolean`` to prompt
5334
the user for yes/no style input. (Robert Collins)
5335
5336
TESTING:
5337
5338
* SFTP tests now shortcut the SSH negotiation, reducing test overhead
5339
for testing SFTP protocol support. (Robey Pointer)
5340
5341
* Branch formats are now tested once per implementation (see ``bzrlib.
5342
tests.branch_implementations``. This is analagous to the transport
5343
interface tests, and has been followed up with working tree,
5344
repository and BzrDir tests. (Robert Collins)
5345
5346
* New test base class TestCaseWithTransport provides a transport aware
5347
test environment, useful for testing any transport-interface using
5348
code. The test suite option --transport controls the transport used
5349
by this class (when its not being used as part of implementation
5350
contract testing). (Robert Collins)
5351
5352
* Close logging handler on disabling the test log. This will remove the
5353
handler from the internal list inside python's logging module,
5354
preventing shutdown from closing it twice. (Olaf Conradi)
5355
5356
* Move test case for uncommit to blackbox tests. (Olaf Conradi)
5357
5358
* ``run_bzr`` and ``run_bzr_captured`` now accept a 'stdin="foo"'
5359
parameter which will provide String("foo") to the command as its stdin.
5360
5361
bzr 0.7 2006-01-09
5362
------------------
5363
5364
CHANGES:
5365
5366
* .bzrignore is excluded from exports, on the grounds that it's a bzr
5367
internal-use file and may not be wanted. (Jamie Wilkinson)
5368
5369
* The "bzr directories" command were removed in favor of the new
5370
--kind option to the "bzr inventory" command. To list all
5371
versioned directories, now use "bzr inventory --kind directory".
5372
(Johan Rydberg)
5373
5374
* Under Windows configuration directory is now ``%APPDATA%\bazaar\2.0``
5375
by default. (John Arbash Meinel)
5376
5377
* The parent of Bzr configuration directory can be set by ``BZR_HOME``
5378
environment variable. Now the path for it is searched in ``BZR_HOME``,
5379
then in HOME. Under Windows the order is: ``BZR_HOME``, ``APPDATA``
5380
(usually points to ``C:\Documents and Settings\User Name\Application Data``),
5381
``HOME``. (John Arbash Meinel)
5382
5383
* Plugins with the same name in different directories in the bzr plugin
5384
path are no longer loaded: only the first successfully loaded one is
5385
used. (Robert Collins)
5386
5387
* Use systems' external ssh command to open connections if possible.
5388
This gives better integration with user settings such as ProxyCommand.
5389
(James Henstridge)
5390
5391
* Permissions on files underneath .bzr/ are inherited from the .bzr
5392
directory. So for a shared repository, simply doing 'chmod -R g+w .bzr/'
5393
will mean that future file will be created with group write permissions.
5394
5395
* configure.in and config.guess are no longer in the builtin default
5396
ignore list.
5397
5398
* '.sw[nop]' pattern ignored, to ignore vim swap files for nameless
5399
files. (John Arbash Meinel, Martin Pool)
5400
5401
IMPROVEMENTS:
5402
5403
* "bzr INIT dir" now initializes the specified directory, and creates
5404
it if it does not exist. (John Arbash Meinel)
5405
5406
* New remerge command (Aaron Bentley)
5407
5408
* Better zsh completion script. (Steve Borho)
5409
5410
* 'bzr diff' now returns 1 when there are changes in the working
5411
tree. (Robert Collins)
5412
5413
* 'bzr push' now exists and can push changes to a remote location.
5414
This uses the transport infrastructure, and can store the remote
5415
location in the ~/.bazaar/branches.conf configuration file.
5416
(Robert Collins)
5417
5418
* Test directories are only kept if the test fails and the user requests
5419
that they be kept.
5420
5421
* Tweaks to short log printing
5422
5423
* Added branch nicks, new nick command, printing them in log output.
5424
(Aaron Bentley)
5425
5426
* If ``$BZR_PDB`` is set, pop into the debugger when an uncaught exception
5427
occurs. (Martin Pool)
5428
5429
* Accept 'bzr resolved' (an alias for 'bzr resolve'), as this is
5430
the same as Subversion. (Martin Pool)
5431
5432
* New ftp transport support (on ftplib), for ftp:// and aftp://
5433
URLs. (Daniel Silverstone)
5434
5435
* Commit editor temporary files now start with ``bzr_log.``, to allow
5436
text editors to match the file name and set up appropriate modes or
5437
settings. (Magnus Therning)
5438
5439
* Improved performance when integrating changes from a remote weave.
5440
(Goffredo Baroncelli)
5441
5442
* Sftp will attempt to cache the connection, so it is more likely that
5443
a connection will be reused, rather than requiring multiple password
5444
requests.
5445
5446
* bzr revno now takes an optional argument indicating the branch whose
5447
revno should be printed. (Michael Ellerman)
5448
5449
* bzr cat defaults to printing the last version of the file.
5450
(Matthieu Moy, #3632)
5451
5452
* New global option 'bzr --lsprof COMMAND' runs bzr under the lsprof
5453
profiler. (Denys Duchier)
5454
5455
* Faster commits by reading only the headers of affected weave files.
5456
(Denys Duchier)
5457
5458
* 'bzr add' now takes a --dry-run parameter which shows you what would be
5459
added, but doesn't actually add anything. (Michael Ellerman)
5460
5461
* 'bzr add' now lists how many files were ignored per glob. add --verbose
5462
lists the specific files. (Aaron Bentley)
5463
5464
* 'bzr missing' now supports displaying changes in diverged trees and can
5465
be limited to show what either end of the comparison is missing.
5466
(Aaron Bently, with a little prompting from Daniel Silverstone)
5467
5468
BUG FIXES:
5469
5470
* SFTP can walk up to the root path without index errors. (Robert Collins)
5471
5472
* Fix bugs in running bzr with 'python -O'. (Martin Pool)
5473
5474
* Error when run with -OO
5475
5476
* Fix bug in reporting http errors that don't have an http error code.
5477
(Martin Pool)
5478
5479
* Handle more cases of pipe errors in display commands
5480
5481
* Change status to 3 for all errors
5482
5483
* Files that are added and unlinked before committing are completely
5484
ignored by diff and status
5485
5486
* Stores with some compressed texts and some uncompressed texts are now
5487
able to be used. (John A Meinel)
5488
5489
* Fix for bzr pull failing sometimes under windows
5490
5491
* Fix for sftp transport under windows when using interactive auth
5492
5493
* Show files which are both renamed and modified as such in 'bzr
5494
status' output. (Daniel Silverstone, #4503)
5495
5496
* Make annotate cope better with revisions committed without a valid
5497
email address. (Marien Zwart)
5498
5499
* Fix representation of tab characters in commit messages.

* List of plugin directories in ``BZR_PLUGIN_PATH`` environment variable is
5503
now parsed properly under Windows. (Alexander Belchenko)
5504
5505
* Show number of revisions pushed/pulled/merged. (Robey Pointer)
5506
5507
* Keep a cached copy of the basis inventory to speed up operations
5508
that need to refer to it. (Johan Rydberg, Martin Pool)
5509
5510
* Fix bugs in bzr status display of non-ascii characters.
5511
(Martin Pool)
5512
5513
* Remove Makefile.in from default ignore list.
5514
(Tollef Fog Heen, Martin Pool, #6413)
5515
5516
* Fix failure in 'bzr added'. (Nathan McCallum, Martin Pool)
5517
5518
TESTING:
5519
5520
* Fix selftest asking for passwords when there are no SFTP keys.
5521
(Robey Pointer, Jelmer Vernooij)
5522
5523
* Fix selftest run with 'python -O'. (Martin Pool)
5524
5525
* Fix HTTP tests under Windows. (John Arbash Meinel)
5526
5527
* Make tests work even if HOME is not set (Aaron Bentley)
5528
5529
* Updated ``build_tree`` to use fixed line-endings for tests which read
5530
the file cotents and compare. Make some tests use this to pass under
5531
Windows. (John Arbash Meinel)
5532
5533
* Skip stat and symlink tests under Windows. (Alexander Belchenko)
5534
5535
* Delay in selftest/testhashcash is now issued under win32 and Cygwin.
5536
(John Arbash Meinel)
5537
5538
* Use terminal width to align verbose test output. (Martin Pool)
5539
5540
* Blackbox tests are maintained within the bzrlib.tests.blackbox directory.
5541
If adding a new test script please add that to
5542
``bzrlib.tests.blackbox.__init__``. (Robert Collins)
5543
5544
* Much better error message if one of the test suites can't be
5545
imported. (Martin Pool)
5546
5547
* Make check now runs the test suite twice - once with the default locale,
5548
and once with all locales forced to C, to expose bugs. This is not
5549
trivially done within python, so for now its only triggered by running
5550
Make check. Integrators and packagers who wish to check for full
5551
platform support should run 'make check' to test the source.
5552
(Robert Collins)
5553
5554
* Tests can now run TestSkipped if they can't execute for any reason.
5555
(Martin Pool) (NB: TestSkipped should only be raised for correctable
5556
reasons - see the wiki spec ImprovingBzrTestSuite).
5557
5558
* Test sftp with relative, absolute-in-homedir and absolute-not-in-homedir
5559
paths for the transport tests. Introduce blackbox remote sftp tests that
5560
test the same permutations. (Robert Collins, Robey Pointer)
5561
5562
* Transport implementation tests are now independent of the local file
5563
system, which allows tests for esoteric transports, and for features
5564
not available in the local file system. They also repeat for variations
5565
on the URL scheme that can introduce issues in the transport code,
5566
see bzrlib.transport.TransportTestProviderAdapter() for this.
5567
(Robert Collins).
5568
5569
* ``TestCase.build_tree`` uses the transport interface to build trees,
5570
pass in a transport parameter to give it an existing connection.
5571
(Robert Collins).
5572
5573
INTERNALS:
5574
5575
* WorkingTree.pull has been split across Branch and WorkingTree,
5576
to allow Branch only pulls. (Robert Collins)
5577
5578
* ``commands.display_command`` now returns the result of the decorated
5579
function. (Robert Collins)
5580
5581
* LocationConfig now has a ``set_user_option(key, value)`` call to save
5582
a setting in its matching location section (a new one is created
5583
if needed). (Robert Collins)
5584
5585
* Branch has two new methods, ``get_push_location`` and
5586
``set_push_location`` to respectively, get and set the push location.
5587
(Robert Collins)
5588
5589
* ``commands.register_command`` now takes an optional flag to signal that
5590
the registrant is planning to decorate an existing command. When
5591
given multiple plugins registering a command is not an error, and
5592
the original command class (whether built in or a plugin based one) is
5593
returned to the caller. There is a new error 'MustUseDecorated' for
5594
signalling when a wrapping command should switch to the original
5595
version. (Robert Collins)
5596
5597
* Some option parsing errors will raise 'BzrOptionError', allowing
5598
granular detection for decorating commands. (Robert Collins).
5599
5600
* ``Branch.read_working_inventory`` has moved to
5601
``WorkingTree.read_working_inventory``. This necessitated changes to
5602
``Branch.get_root_id``, and a move of ``Branch.set_inventory`` to
5603
WorkingTree as well. To make it clear that a WorkingTree cannot always
5604
be obtained ``Branch.working_tree()`` will raise
5605
``errors.NoWorkingTree`` if one cannot be obtained. (Robert Collins)
5606
5607
* All pending merges operations from Branch are now on WorkingTree.
5608
(Robert Collins)
5609
5610
* The follow operations from Branch have moved to WorkingTree::
5611
5612
add()
5613
commit()
5614
move()
5615
rename_one()
5616
unknowns()
5617
5618
(Robert Collins)
5619
5620
* ``bzrlib.add.smart_add_branch`` is now ``smart_add_tree``. (Robert Collins)
5621
5622
* New "rio" serialization format, similar to rfc-822. (Martin Pool)
5623
5624
* Rename selftests to ``bzrlib.tests.test_foo``. (John A Meinel, Martin
5625
Pool)
5626
5627
* ``bzrlib.plugin.all_plugins`` has been changed from an attribute to a
5628
query method. (Robert Collins)
5629
5630
* New options to read only the table-of-contents of a weave.
5631
(Denys Duchier)
5632
5633
* Raise NoSuchFile when someone tries to add a non-existant file.
5634
(Michael Ellerman)
5635
5636
* Simplify handling of DivergedBranches in ``cmd_pull()``.
5637
(Michael Ellerman)
5638
5639
* Branch.controlfile* logic has moved to lockablefiles.LockableFiles, which
5640
is exposed as ``Branch().control_files``. Also this has been altered with the
5641
controlfile pre/suffix replaced by simple method names like 'get' and
5642
'put'. (Aaron Bentley, Robert Collins).
5643
5644
* Deprecated functions and methods can now be marked as such using the
5645
``bzrlib.symbol_versioning`` module. Marked method have their docstring
5646
updated and will issue a DeprecationWarning using the warnings module
5647
when they are used. (Robert Collins)
5648
5649
* ``bzrlib.osutils.safe_unicode`` now exists to provide parameter coercion
5650
for functions that need unicode strings. (Robert Collins)

5655
IMPROVEMENTS:
5656
5657
* pull now takes --verbose to show you what revisions are added or removed
5658
(John A Meinel)
5659
5660
* merge now takes a --show-base option to include the base text in
5661
conflicts.
5662
(Aaron Bentley)
5663
5664
* The config files are now read using ConfigObj, so '=' should be used as
5665
a separator, not ':'.
5666
(Aaron Bentley)
5667
5668
* New 'bzr commit --strict' option refuses to commit if there are
5669
any unknown files in the tree. To commit, make sure all files are
5670
either ignored, added, or deleted. (Michael Ellerman)
5671
5672
* The config directory is now ~/.bazaar, and there is a single file
5673
~/.bazaar/bazaar.conf storing email, editor and other preferences.
5674
(Robert Collins)
5675
5676
* 'bzr add' no longer takes a --verbose option, and a --quiet option
5677
has been added that suppresses all output.
5678
5679
* Improved zsh completion support in contrib/zsh, from Clint
5680
Adams.
5681
5682
* Builtin 'bzr annotate' command, by Martin Pool with improvements from
5683
Goffredo Baroncelli.
5684
5685
* 'bzr check' now accepts -v for verbose reporting, and checks for
5686
ghosts in the branch. (Robert Collins)
5687
5688
* New command 're-sign' which will regenerate the gpg signature for
5689
a revision. (Robert Collins)
5690
5691
* If you set ``check_signatures=require`` for a path in
5692
``~/.bazaar/branches.conf`` then bzr will invoke your
5693
``gpg_signing_command`` (defaults to gpg) and record a digital signature
5694
of your commit. (Robert Collins)
5695
5696
* New sftp transport, based on Paramiko. (Robey Pointer)
5697
5698
* 'bzr pull' now accepts '--clobber' which will discard local changes
5699
and make this branch identical to the source branch. (Robert Collins)
5700
5701
* Just give a quieter warning if a plugin can't be loaded, and
5702
put the details in .bzr.log. (Martin Pool)
5703
5704
* 'bzr branch' will now set the branch-name to the last component of the
5705
output directory, if one was supplied.
5706
5707
* If the option ``post_commit`` is set to one (or more) python function
5708
names (must be in the bzrlib namespace), then they will be invoked
5709
after the commit has completed, with the branch and ``revision_id`` as
5710
parameters. (Robert Collins)
5711
5712
* Merge now has a retcode of 1 when conflicts occur. (Robert Collins)
5713
5714
* --merge-type weave is now supported for file contents. Tree-shape
5715
changes are still three-way based. (Martin Pool, Aaron Bentley)
5716
5717
* 'bzr check' allows the first revision on revision-history to have
5718
parents - something that is expected for cheap checkouts, and occurs
5719
when conversions from baz do not have all history. (Robert Collins).
5720
5721
* 'bzr merge' can now graft unrelated trees together, if your specify
5722
0 as a base. (Aaron Bentley)
5723
5724
* 'bzr commit branch' and 'bzr commit branch/file1 branch/file2' now work
5725
(Aaron Bentley)
5726
5727
* Add '.sconsign*' to default ignore list. (Alexander Belchenko)
5728
5729
* 'bzr merge --reprocess' minimizes conflicts
5730
5731
TESTING:
5732
5733
* The 'bzr selftest --pattern' option for has been removed, now
5734
test specifiers on the command line can be simple strings, or
5735
regexps, or both. (Robert Collins)
5736
5737
* Passing -v to selftest will now show the time each test took to
5738
complete, which will aid in analysing performance regressions and
5739
related questions. (Robert Collins)
5740
5741
* 'bzr selftest' runs all tests, even if one fails, unless '--one'
5742
is given. (Martin Pool)
5743
5744
* There is a new method for TestCaseInTempDir, assertFileEqual, which
5745
will check that a given content is equal to the content of the named
5746
file. (Robert Collins)
5747
5748
* Fix test suite's habit of leaving many temporary log files in $TMPDIR.
5749
(Martin Pool)
5750
5751
INTERNALS:
5752
5753
* New 'testament' command and concept for making gpg-signatures
5754
of revisions that are not tied to a particular internal
5755
representation. (Martin Pool).
5756
5757
* Per-revision properties ('revprops') as key-value associated
5758
strings on each revision created when the revision is committed.
5759
Intended mainly for the use of external tools. (Martin Pool).
5760
5761
* Config options have moved from bzrlib.osutils to bzrlib.config.
5762
(Robert Collins)
5763
5764
* Improved command line option definitions allowing explanations
5765
for individual options, among other things. Contributed by
5766
Magnus Therning.
5767
5768
* Config options have moved from bzrlib.osutils to bzrlib.config.
5769
Configuration is now done via the config.Config interface:
5770
Depending on whether you have a Branch, a Location or no information
5771
available, construct a ``*Config``, and use its ``signature_checking``,
5772
``username`` and ``user_email`` methods. (Robert Collins)
5773
5774
* Plugins are now loaded under bzrlib.plugins, not bzrlib.plugin, and
5775
they are made available for other plugins to use. You should not
5776
import other plugins during the ``__init__`` of your plugin though, as
5777
no ordering is guaranteed, and the plugins directory is not on the
5778
python path. (Robert Collins)
5779
5780
* Branch.relpath has been moved to WorkingTree.relpath. WorkingTree no
5781
no longer takes an inventory, rather it takes an option branch
5782
parameter, and if None is given will open the branch at basedir
5783
implicitly. (Robert Collins)
5784
5785
* Cleaner exception structure and error reporting. Suggested by
5786
Scott James Remnant. (Martin Pool)
5787
5788
* Branch.remove has been moved to WorkingTree, which has also gained
5789
``lock_read``, ``lock_write`` and ``unlock`` methods for convenience.
5790
(Robert Collins)
5791
5792
* Two decorators, ``needs_read_lock`` and ``needs_write_lock`` have been
5793
added to the branch module. Use these to cause a function to run in a
5794
read or write lock respectively. (Robert Collins)
5795
5796
* ``Branch.open_containing`` now returns a tuple (Branch, relative-path),
5797
which allows direct access to the common case of 'get me this file
5798
from its branch'. (Robert Collins)
5799
5800
* Transports can register using ``register_lazy_transport``, and they
5801
will be loaded when first used. (Martin Pool)
5802
5803
* 'pull' has been factored out of the command as ``WorkingTree.pull()``.
5804
A new option to WorkingTree.pull has been added, clobber, which will
5805
ignore diverged history and pull anyway.
5806
(Robert Collins)
5807
5808
* config.Config has a ``get_user_option`` call that accepts an option name.
5809
This will be looked up in branches.conf and bazaar.conf as normal.
5810
It is intended that this be used by plugins to support options -
5811
options of built in programs should have specific methods on the config.
5812
(Robert Collins)
5813
5814
* ``merge.merge_inner`` now has tempdir as an optional parameter.
5815
(Robert Collins)
5816
5817
* Tree.kind is not recorded at the top level of the hierarchy, as it was
5818
missing on EmptyTree, leading to a bug with merge on EmptyTrees.
5819
(Robert Collins)
5820
5821
* ``WorkingTree.__del__`` has been removed, it was non deterministic and not
5822
doing what it was intended to. See ``WorkingTree.__init__`` for a comment
5823
about future directions. (Robert Collins/Martin Pool)
5824
5825
* bzrlib.transport.http has been modified so that only 404 urllib errors
5826
are returned as NoSuchFile. Other exceptions will propogate as normal.
5827
This allows debuging of actual errors. (Robert Collins)
5828
5829
* bzrlib.transport.Transport now accepts *ONLY* url escaped relative paths
5830
to apis like 'put', 'get' and 'has'. This is to provide consistent
5831
behaviour - it operates on url's only. (Robert Collins)
5832
5833
* Transports can register using ``register_lazy_transport``, and they
5834
will be loaded when first used. (Martin Pool)
5835
5836
* ``merge_flex`` no longer calls ``conflict_handler.finalize()``, instead that
5837
is called by ``merge_inner``. This is so that the conflict count can be
5838
retrieved (and potentially manipulated) before returning to the caller
5839
of ``merge_inner``. Likewise 'merge' now returns the conflict count to the
5840
caller. (Robert Collins)
5841
5842
* ``revision.revision_graph`` can handle having only partial history for
5843
a revision - that is no revisions in the graph with no parents.
5844
(Robert Collins).
5845
5846
* New ``builtins.branch_files`` uses the standard ``file_list`` rules to
5847
produce a branch and a list of paths, relative to that branch
5848
(Aaron Bentley)
5849
5850
* New TestCase.addCleanup facility.
5851
5852
* New ``bzrlib.version_info`` tuple (similar to ``sys.version_info``),
5853
which can be used by programs importing bzrlib.
5854
5855
BUG FIXES:
5856
5857
* Better handling of branches in directories with non-ascii names.
5858
(Joel Rosdahl, Panagiotis Papadakos)
5859
5860
* Upgrades of trees with no commits will not fail due to accessing
5861
[-1] in the revision-history. (Andres Salomon)
5862
5863
5864
bzr 0.1.1 2005-10-12
5865
--------------------
5866
5867
BUG FIXES:
5868
5869
* Fix problem in pulling over http from machines that do not
5870
allow directories to be listed.
5871
5872
* Avoid harmless warning about invalid hash cache after
5873
upgrading branch format.
5874
5875
PERFORMANCE:
5876
5877
* Avoid some unnecessary http operations in branch and pull.

5879
5880
bzr 0.1 2005-10-11
5881
------------------
5882
5883
NOTES:
5884
5885
* 'bzr branch' over http initially gives a very high estimate
5886
of completion time but it should fall as the first few
5887
revisions are pulled in. branch is still slow on
5888
high-latency connections.
5889
5890
BUG FIXES:
5891
5892
* bzr-man.py has been updated to work again. Contributed by
5893
Rob Weir.
5894
5895
* Locking is now done with fcntl.lockf which works with NFS
5896
file systems. Contributed by Harald Meland.
5897
5898
* When a merge encounters a file that has been deleted on
5899
one side and modified on the other, the old contents are
5900
written out to foo.BASE and foo.SIDE, where SIDE is this
5901
or OTHER. Contributed by Aaron Bentley.
5902
5903
* Export was choosing incorrect file paths for the content of
5904
the tarball, this has been fixed by Aaron Bentley.
5905
5906
* Commit will no longer commit without a log message, an
5907
error is returned instead. Contributed by Jelmer Vernooij.
5908
5909
* If you commit a specific file in a sub directory, any of its
5910
parent directories that are added but not listed will be
5911
automatically included. Suggested by Michael Ellerman.
5912
5913
* bzr commit and upgrade did not correctly record new revisions
5914
for files with only a change to their executable status.
5915
bzr will correct this when it encounters it. Fixed by
5916
Robert Collins
5917
5918
* HTTP tests now force off the use of ``http_proxy`` for the duration.
5919
Contributed by Gustavo Niemeyer.
5920
5921
* Fix problems in merging weave-based branches that have
5922
different partial views of history.
5923
5924
* Symlink support: working with symlinks when not in the root of a
5925
bzr tree was broken, patch from Scott James Remnant.
5926
5927
IMPROVEMENTS:
5928
5929
* 'branch' now accepts a --basis parameter which will take advantage
5930
of local history when making a new branch. This allows faster
5931
branching of remote branches. Contributed by Aaron Bentley.
5932
5933
* New tree format based on weave files, called version 5.
5934
Existing branches can be upgraded to this format using
5935
'bzr upgrade'.
5936
5937
* Symlinks are now versionable. Initial patch by
5938
Erik Toubro Nielsen, updated to head by Robert Collins.
5939
5940
* Executable bits are tracked on files. Patch from Gustavo
5941
Niemeyer.
5942
5943
* 'bzr status' now shows unknown files inside a selected directory.
5944
Patch from Heikki Paajanen.
5945
5946
* Merge conflicts are recorded in .bzr. Two new commands 'conflicts'
5947
and 'resolve' have needed added, which list and remove those
5948
merge conflicts respectively. A conflicted tree cannot be committed
5949
in. Contributed by Aaron Bentley.
5950
5951
* 'rm' is now an alias for 'remove'.
5952
5953
* Stores now split out their content in a single byte prefixed hash,
5954
dropping the density of files per directory by 256. Contributed by
5955
Gustavo Niemeyer.
5956
5957
* 'bzr diff -r branch:URL' will now perform a diff between two branches.
5958
Contributed by Robert Collins.
5959
5960
* 'bzr log' with the default formatter will show merged revisions,
5961
indented to the right. Initial implementation contributed by Gustavo
5962
Niemeyer, made incremental by Robert Collins.
5963
5964
5965
INTERNALS:
5966
5967
* Test case failures have the exception printed after the log
5968
for your viewing pleasure.
5969
5970
* InventoryEntry is now an abstract base class, use one of the
5971
concrete InventoryDirectory etc classes instead.
5972
5973
* Branch raises an UnsupportedFormatError when it detects a
5974
bzr branch it cannot understand. This allows for precise
5975
handling of such circumstances.
5976
5977
* Remove RevisionReference class; ``Revision.parent_ids`` is now simply a
5978
list of their ids and ``parent_sha1s`` is a list of their corresponding
5979
sha1s (for old branches only at the moment.)
5980
5981
* New method-object style interface for Commit() and Fetch().
5982
5983
* Renamed ``Branch.last_patch()`` to ``Branch.last_revision()``, since
5984
we call them revisions not patches.
5985
5986
* Move ``copy_branch`` to ``bzrlib.clone.copy_branch``. The destination
5987
directory is created if it doesn't exist.
5988
5989
* Inventories now identify the files which were present by
5990
giving the revision *of that file*.
5991
5992
* Inventory and Revision XML contains a version identifier.
5993
This must be consistent with the overall branch version
5994
but allows for more flexibility in future upgrades.
5995
5996
TESTING:
5997
5998
* Removed testsweet module so that tests can be run after
5999
bzr installed by 'bzr selftest'.
6000
6001
* 'bzr selftest' command-line arguments can now be partial ids
6002
of tests to run, e.g. ``bzr selftest test_weave``
6003
6004
6005
bzr 0.0.9 2005-09-23
6006
--------------------
6007
6008
BUG FIXES:
6009
6010
* Fixed "branch -r" option.
6011
6012
* Fix remote access to branches containing non-compressed history.
6013
(Robert Collins).
6014
6015
* Better reliability of http server tests. (John Arbash-Meinel)
6016
6017
* Merge graph maximum distance calculation fix. (Aaron Bentley)
6018
6019
* Various minor bug in windows support have been fixed, largely in the
6020
test suite. Contributed by Alexander Belchenko.
6021
6022
IMPROVEMENTS:
6023
6024
* Status now accepts a -r argument to give status between chosen
6025
revisions. Contributed by Heikki Paajanen.
6026
6027
* Revision arguments no longer use +/-/= to control ranges, instead
6028
there is a 'before' namespace, which limits the successive namespace.
6029
For example '$ bzr log -r date:yesterday..before:date:today' will
6030
select everything from yesterday and before today. Contributed by
6031
Robey Pointer
6032
6033
* There is now a bzr.bat file created by distutils when building on
6034
Windows. Contributed by Alexander Belchenko.
6035
6036
INTERNALS:
6037
6038
* Removed uuid() as it was unused.
6039
6040
* Improved 'fetch' code for pulling revisions from one branch into
6041
another (used by pull, merged, etc.)
6042
6043
6044
bzr 0.0.8 2005-09-20
6045
--------------------
6046
6047
IMPROVEMENTS:
6048
6049
* Adding a file whose parent directory is not versioned will
6050
implicitly add the parent, and so on up to the root. This means
6051
you should never need to explictly add a directory, they'll just
6052
get added when you add a file in the directory. Contributed by
6053
Michael Ellerman.
6054
6055
* Ignore ``.DS_Store`` (contains Mac metadata) by default.
6056
(Nir Soffer)
6057
6058
* If you set ``BZR_EDITOR`` in the environment, it is checked in
6059
preference to EDITOR and the config file for the interactive commit
6060
editing program. Related to this is a bugfix where a missing program
6061
set in EDITOR would cause editing to fail, now the fallback program
6062
for the operating system is still tried.
6063
6064
* Files that are not directories/symlinks/regular files will no longer
6065
cause bzr to fail, it will just ignore them by default. You cannot add
6066
them to the tree though - they are not versionable.
6067
6068
6069
INTERNALS:
6070
6071
* Refactor xml packing/unpacking.
6072
6073
BUG FIXES:
6074
6075
* Fixed 'bzr mv' by Ollie Rutherfurd.
6076
6077
* Fixed strange error when trying to access a nonexistent http
6078
branch.
6079
6080
* Make sure that the hashcache gets written out if it can't be
6081
read.
6082
6083
6084
PORTABILITY:
6085
6086
* Various Windows fixes from Ollie Rutherfurd.
6087
6088
* Quieten warnings about locking; patch from Matt Lavin.
6089
6090
6091
bzr-0.0.7 2005-09-02
6092
--------------------
6093
6094
NEW FEATURES:
6095
6096
* ``bzr shell-complete`` command contributed by Clint Adams to
6097
help with intelligent shell completion.
6098
6099
* New expert command ``bzr find-merge-base`` for debugging merges.
6100
6101
6102
ENHANCEMENTS:
6103
6104
* Much better merge support.
6105
6106
* merge3 conflicts are now reported with markers like '<<<<<<<'
6107
(seven characters) which is the same as CVS and pleases things
6108
like emacs smerge.
6109
6110
6111
BUG FIXES:
6112
6113
* ``bzr upgrade`` no longer fails when trying to fix trees that
6114
mention revisions that are not present.
6115
6116
* Fixed bugs in listing plugins from ``bzr plugins``.
6117
6118
* Fix case of $EDITOR containing options for the editor.
6119
6120
* Fix log -r refusing to show the last revision.
6121
(Patch from Goffredo Baroncelli.)
6122
6123
6124
CHANGES:
6125
6126
* ``bzr log --show-ids`` shows the revision ids of all parents.
6127
6128
* Externally provided commands on your $BZRPATH no longer need
6129
to recognize --bzr-usage to work properly, and can just handle
6130
--help themselves.
6131
6132
6133
LIBRARY:
6134
6135
* Changed trace messages to go through the standard logging
6136
framework, so that they can more easily be redirected by
6137
libraries.
6138
6139
6140
6141
bzr-0.0.6 2005-08-18
6142
--------------------
6143
6144
NEW FEATURES:
6145
6146
* Python plugins, automatically loaded from the directories on
6147
``BZR_PLUGIN_PATH`` or ``~/.bzr.conf/plugins`` by default.
6148
6149
* New 'bzr mkdir' command.
6150
6151
* Commit mesage is fetched from an editor if not given on the
6152
command line; patch from Torsten Marek.
6153
6154
* ``bzr log -m FOO`` displays commits whose message matches regexp
6155
FOO.
6156
6157
* ``bzr add`` with no arguments adds everything under the current directory.
6158
6159
* ``bzr mv`` does move or rename depending on its arguments, like
6160
the Unix command.
6161
6162
* ``bzr missing`` command shows a summary of the differences
6163
between two trees. (Merged from John Arbash-Meinel.)
6164
6165
* An email address for commits to a particular tree can be
6166
specified by putting it into .bzr/email within a branch. (Based
6167
on a patch from Heikki Paajanen.)
6168
6169
6170
ENHANCEMENTS:
6171
6172
* Faster working tree operations.
6173
6174
6175
CHANGES:
6176
6177
* 3rd-party modules shipped with bzr are copied within the bzrlib
6178
python package, so that they can be installed by the setup
6179
script without clashing with anything already existing on the
6180
system. (Contributed by Gustavo Niemeyer.)
6181
6182
* Moved plugins directory to bzrlib/, so that there's a standard
6183
plugin directory which is not only installed with bzr itself but
6184
is also available when using bzr from the development tree.
6185
``BZR_PLUGIN_PATH`` and ``DEFAULT_PLUGIN_PATH`` are then added to the
6186
standard plugins directory.
6187
6188
* When exporting to a tarball with ``bzr export --format tgz``, put
6189
everything under a top directory rather than dumping it into the
6190
current directory. This can be overridden with the ``--root``
6191
option. Patch from William Dodé and John Meinel.
6192
6193
* New ``bzr upgrade`` command to upgrade the format of a branch,
6194
replacing ``bzr check --update``.
6195
6196
* Files within store directories are no longer marked readonly on
6197
disk.
6198
6199
* Changed ``bzr log`` output to a more compact form suggested by
6200
John A Meinel. Old format is available with the ``--long`` or
6201
``-l`` option, patched by William Dodé.
6202
6203
* By default the commit command refuses to record a revision with
6204
no changes unless the ``--unchanged`` option is given.
6205
6206
* The ``--no-plugins``, ``--profile`` and ``--builtin`` command
6207
line options must come before the command name because they
6208
affect what commands are available; all other options must come
6209
after the command name because their interpretation depends on
6210
it.
6211
6212
* ``branch`` and ``clone`` added as aliases for ``branch``.
6213
6214
* Default log format is back to the long format; the compact one
6215
is available with ``--short``.
6216
6217
6218
BUG FIXES:
6219
6220
* Fix bugs in committing only selected files or within a subdirectory.
6221
6222
6223
bzr-0.0.5 2005-06-15
6224
---------------------
6225
6226
CHANGES:
6227
6228
* ``bzr`` with no command now shows help rather than giving an
6229
error. Suggested by Michael Ellerman.
6230
6231
* ``bzr status`` output format changed, because svn-style output
6232
doesn't really match the model of bzr. Now files are grouped by
6233
status and can be shown with their IDs. ``bzr status --all``
6234
shows all versioned files and unknown files but not ignored files.
6235
6236
* ``bzr log`` runs from most-recent to least-recent, the reverse
6237
of the previous order. The previous behaviour can be obtained
6238
with the ``--forward`` option.
6239
6240
* ``bzr inventory`` by default shows only filenames, and also ids
6241
if ``--show-ids`` is given, in which case the id is the second
6242
field.
6243
6244
6245
ENHANCEMENTS:
6246
6247
* New 'bzr whoami --email' option shows only the email component
6248
of the user identification, from Jo Vermeulen.
6249
6250
* New ``bzr ignore PATTERN`` command.
6251
6252
* Nicer error message for broken pipe, interrupt and similar
6253
conditions that don't indicate an internal error.
6254
6255
* Add ``.*.sw[nop] .git .*.tmp *,v`` to default ignore patterns.
6256
6257
* Per-branch locks keyed on ``.bzr/branch-lock``, available in
6258
either read or write mode.
6259
6260
* New option ``bzr log --show-ids`` shows revision and file ids.
6261
6262
* New usage ``bzr log FILENAME`` shows only revisions that
6263
affected that file.
6264
6265
* Changed format for describing changes in ``bzr log -v``.
6266
6267
* New option ``bzr commit --file`` to take a message from a file,
6268
suggested by LarstiQ.
6269
6270
* New syntax ``bzr status [FILE...]`` contributed by Bartosz
6271
Oler. File may be in a branch other than the working directory.
6272
6273
* ``bzr log`` and ``bzr root`` can be given an http URL instead of
6274
a filename.
6275
6276
* Commands can now be defined by external programs or scripts
6277
in a directory on $BZRPATH.
6278
6279
* New "stat cache" avoids reading the contents of files if they
6280
haven't changed since the previous time.
6281
6282
* If the Python interpreter is too old, try to find a better one
6283
or give an error. Based on a patch from Fredrik Lundh.
6284
6285
* New optional parameter ``bzr info [BRANCH]``.
6286
6287
* New form ``bzr commit SELECTED`` to commit only selected files.
6288
6289
* New form ``bzr log -r FROM:TO`` shows changes in selected
6290
range; contributed by John A Meinel.
6291
6292
* New option ``bzr diff --diff-options 'OPTS'`` allows passing
6293
options through to an external GNU diff.
6294
6295
* New option ``bzr add --no-recurse`` to add a directory but not
6296
their contents.
6297
6298
* ``bzr --version`` now shows more information if bzr is being run
6299
from a branch.
6300
6301
6302
BUG FIXES:
6303
6304
* Fixed diff format so that added and removed files will be
6305
handled properly by patch. Fix from Lalo Martins.
6306
6307
* Various fixes for files whose names contain spaces or other
6308
metacharacters.
6309
6310
6311
TESTING:
6312
6313
* Converted black-box test suites from Bourne shell into Python;
6314
now run using ``./testbzr``. Various structural improvements to
6315
the tests.
6316
6317
* testbzr by default runs the version of bzr found in the same
6318
directory as the tests, or the one given as the first parameter.
6319
6320
* testbzr also runs the internal tests, so the only command
6321
required to check is just ``./testbzr``.
6322
6323
* testbzr requires python2.4, but can be used to test bzr running
6324
under a different version.
6325
6326
* Tests added for many other changes in this release.
6327
6328
6329
INTERNAL:
6330
6331
* Included ElementTree library upgraded to 1.2.6 by Fredrik Lundh.
6332
6333
* Refactor command functions into Command objects based on HCT by
6334
Scott James Remnant.
6335
6336
* Better help messages for many commands.
6337
6338
* Expose ``bzrlib.open_tracefile()`` to start the tracefile; until
6339
this is called trace messages are just discarded.
6340
6341
* New internal function ``find_touching_revisions()`` and hidden
6342
command touching-revisions trace the changes to a given file.
6343
6344
* Simpler and faster ``compare_inventories()`` function.
6345
6346
* ``bzrlib.open_tracefile()`` takes a tracefilename parameter.
6347
6348
* New AtomicFile class.
6349
6350
* New developer commands ``added``, ``modified``.
6351
6352
6353
PORTABILITY:
6354
6355
* Cope on Windows on python2.3 by using the weaker random seed.
6356
2.4 is now only recommended.
6357
6358
6359
bzr-0.0.4 2005-04-22
6360
---------------------
6361
6362
ENHANCEMENTS:
6363
6364
* 'bzr diff' optionally takes a list of files to diff. Still a bit
6365
basic. Patch from QuantumG.
6366
6367
* More default ignore patterns.
6368
6369
* New 'bzr log --verbose' shows a list of files changed in the
6370
changeset. Patch from Sebastian Cote.
6371
6372
* Roll over ~/.bzr.log if it gets too large.
6373
6374
* Command abbreviations 'ci', 'st', 'stat', '?' based on a patch
6375
by Jason Diamon.
6376
6377
* New 'bzr help commands' based on a patch from Denys Duchier.
6378
6379
6380
CHANGES:
6381
6382
* User email is determined by looking at $BZREMAIL or ~/.bzr.email
6383
or $EMAIL. All are decoded by the locale preferred encoding.
6384
If none of these are present user@hostname is used. The host's
6385
fully-qualified name is not used because that tends to fail when
6386
there are DNS problems.
6387
6388
* New 'bzr whoami' command instead of username user-email.
6389
6390
6391
BUG FIXES:
6392
6393
* Make commit safe for hardlinked bzr trees.
6394
6395
* Some Unicode/locale fixes.
6396
6397
* Partial workaround for ``difflib.unified_diff`` not handling
6398
trailing newlines properly.
6399
6400
6401
INTERNAL:
6402
6403
* Allow docstrings for help to be in PEP0257 format. Patch from
6404
Matt Brubeck.
6405
6406
* More tests in test.sh.
6407
6408
* Write profile data to a temporary file not into working
6409
directory and delete it when done.
6410
6411
* Smaller .bzr.log with process ids.
6412
6413
6414
PORTABILITY:
6415
6416
* Fix opening of ~/.bzr.log on Windows. Patch from Andrew
6417
Bennetts.
6418
6419
* Some improvements in handling paths on Windows, based on a patch
6420
from QuantumG.
6421
6422
6423
bzr-0.0.3 2005-04-06
6424
---------------------
6425
6426
ENHANCEMENTS:
6427
6428
* New "directories" internal command lists versioned directories
6429
in the tree.
6430
6431
* Can now say "bzr commit --help".
6432
6433
* New "rename" command to rename one file to a different name
6434
and/or directory.
6435
6436
* New "move" command to move one or more files into a different
6437
directory.
6438
6439
* New "renames" command lists files renamed since base revision.
6440
6441
* New cat command contributed by janmar.
6442
6443
CHANGES:
6444
6445
* .bzr.log is placed in $HOME (not pwd) and is always written in
6446
UTF-8. (Probably not a completely good long-term solution, but
6447
will do for now.)
6448
6449
PORTABILITY:
6450
6451
* Workaround for difflib bug in Python 2.3 that causes an
6452
exception when comparing empty files. Reported by Erik Toubro
6453
Nielsen.
6454
6455
INTERNAL:
6456
6457
* Refactored inventory storage to insert a root entry at the top.
6458
6459
TESTING:
6460
6461
* Start of shell-based black-box testing in test.sh.
6462

bzr-0.0.2 "black cube" 2005-03-31
6473
-----------------------------------
6474
6475
ENHANCEMENTS:
6476
6477
* Default ignore list extended (see bzrlib/__init__.py).
6478
6479
* Patterns in .bzrignore are now added to the default ignore list,
6480
rather than replacing it.
6481
6482
* Ignore list isn't reread for every file.
6483
6484
* More help topics.
6485
6486
* Reinstate the 'bzr check' command to check invariants of the
6487
branch.
6488
6489
* New 'ignored' command lists which files are ignored and why;
6490
'deleted' lists files deleted in the current working tree.
6491
6492
* Performance improvements.
6493
6494
* New global --profile option.
6495
6496
* Ignore patterns like './config.h' now correctly match files in
6497
the root directory only.
6498
6499
6500
bzr-0.0.1 2005-03-26
6501
---------------------
6502
6503
ENHANCEMENTS:
6504
6505
* More information from info command.
6506
6507
* Can now say "bzr help COMMAND" for more detailed help.
6508
6509
* Less file flushing and faster performance when writing logs and
6510
committing to stores.
6511
6512
* More useful verbose output from some commands.
6513
6514
BUG FIXES:
6515
6516
* Fix inverted display of 'R' and 'M' during 'commit -v'.
6517
6518
PORTABILITY:
6519
6520
* Include a subset of ElementTree-1.2.20040618 to make
6521
installation easier.
6522
6523
* Fix time.localtime call to work with Python 2.3 (the minimum
6524
supported).
6525

6527
bzr-0.0.0.69 2005-03-22
6528
------------------------
6529
6530
ENHANCEMENTS:
6531
6532
* First public release.
6533
6534
* Storage of local versions: init, add, remove, rm, info, log,
6535
diff, status, etc.
