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
32
BUG FIXES:
33
34
* ``bzr branch --stacked`` ensures the destination branch format can
35
support stacking, even if the origin does not.
36
(Martin Pool)
37
38
* Fix a test case that was failing if encoding wasn't UTF-8.
39
(John Arbash Meinel, #247585)
40
41
* Fix "no buffer space available" error when branching with the new
42
smart server protocol to or from Windows.
43
(Andrew Bennetts, #246180)

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

bzr 1.5 2008-05-16
525
------------------
526
527
This release of Bazaar includes several updates to the documentation, and fixes
528
to prepare for making rich root support the default format. Many bugs have been
529
squashed, including fixes to log, bzr+ssh inter-operation with older servers.
530
531
CHANGES:
532
533
* Suppress deprecation warnings when bzrlib is a 'final' release. This way
534
users of packaged software won't be bothered with DeprecationWarnings,
535
but developers and testers will still see them. (John Arbash Meinel)
536
537
DOCUMENTATION:
538
539
* Incorporate feedback from Jelmer Vernooij and Neil Martinsen-Burrell
540
on the plugin and integration chapters of the User Guide.

545
---------------------
546
547
NOTES WHEN UPGRADING:
548
549
CHANGES:
550
551
* Broader support of GNU Emacs mail clients. Set
552
``mail_client=emacsclient`` in your bazaar.conf and ``send`` will pop the
553
bundle in a mail buffer according to the value of ``mail-user-agent``
554
variable. (Xavier Maillard)
555
556
FEATURES:
557
558
IMPROVEMENTS:
559
560
* Diff now handles revision specs like "branch:" and "submit:" more
561
efficiently. (Aaron Bentley, #202928)
562
563
* More friendly error given when attempt to start the smart server
564
on an address already in use. (Andrea Corbellini, #200575)
565
566
* Pull completes much faster when there is nothing to pull.
567
(Aaron Bentley)
568
569
BUGFIXES:
570
571
* Authentication.conf can define sections without password.
572
(Vincent Ladeuil, #199440)
573
574
* Avoid muttering every time a child update does not cause a progress bar
575
update. (John Arbash Meinel, #213771)
576
577
* ``Branch.reconcile()`` is now implemented. This allows ``bzr reconcile``
578
to fix when a Branch has a non-canonical mainline history. ``bzr check``
579
also detects this condition. (John Arbash Meinel, #177855)
580
581
* ``bzr log -r ..X bzr://`` was failing, because it was getting a request
582
for ``revision_id=None`` which was not a string.
583
(John Arbash Meinel, #211661)
584
585
* ``bzr commit`` now works with Microsoft's FTP service.
586
(Andreas Deininger)
587
588
* Catch definitions outside sections in authentication.conf.
589
(Vincent Ladeuil, #217650)
590
591
* Conversion from non-rich-root to rich-root(-pack) updates inventory
592
sha1s, even when bundles are used. (Aaron Bentley, #181391)
593
594
* Conversion from non-rich-root to rich-root(-pack) works correctly even
595
though search keys are not topologically sorted. (Aaron Bentley)
596
597
* Conversion from non-rich-root to rich-root(-pack) works even when a
598
parent revision has a different root id. (Aaron Bentley, #177874)
599
600
* Disable strace testing until strace is fixed (see bug #103133) and emit a
601
warning when selftest ends to remind us of leaking tests.
602
(Vincent Ladeuil, #226769)
603
604
* Fetching all revisions from a repository does not cause pack collisions.
605
(Robert Collins, Aaron Bentley, #212908)
606
607
* Fix error about "attempt to add line-delta in non-delta knit".
608
(Andrew Bennetts, #217701)
609
610
* Pushing a branch in "dirstate" format (Branch5) over bzr+ssh would break
611
if the remote server was < version 1.2. This was due to a bug in the
612
RemoteRepository.get_parent_map() fallback code.
613
(John Arbash Meinel, #214894)
614
615
* Remove leftover code in ``bzr_branch`` that inappropriately creates
616
a ``branch-name`` file in the branch control directory.
617
(Martin Pool)
618
619
* Set SO_REUSEADDR on server sockets of ``bzr serve`` to avoid problems
620
rebinding the socket when starting the server a second time.
621
(John Arbash Meinel, Martin Pool, #164288)
622
623
* Severe performance degradation in fetching from knit repositories to
624
knits and packs due to parsing the entire revisions.kndx on every graph
625
walk iteration fixed by using the Repository.get_graph API. There was
626
another regression in knit => knit fetching which re-read the index for
627
every revision each side had in common.
628
(Robert Collins, John Arbash Meinel)
629
630
* When logging the changes to a particular file, there was a bug if there
631
were ghosts in the revision ancestry. (John Arbash Meinel, #209948)
632
633
* xs4all's ftp server returns a temporary error when trying to list an
634
empty directory, rather than returning an empty list. Adding a
635
workaround so that we don't get spurious failures.
636
(John Arbash Meinel, #215522)
637
638
DOCUMENTATION:
639
640
* Expanded the User Guide to include new chapters on popular plugins and
641
integrating Bazaar into your environment. The *Best practices* chapter
642
was renamed to *Miscellaneous topics* as suggested by community
643
feedback as well. (Ian Clatworthy)
644
645
* Document outlining strategies for TortoiseBzr. (Mark Hammond)
646
647
* Improved the documentation on hooks. (Ian Clatworthy)
648
649
* Update authentication docs regarding ssh agents.
650
(Vincent Ladeuil, #183705)
651
652
TESTING:
653
654
* Add ``thread_name_suffix`` parameter to SmartTCPServer_for_testing, to
655
make it easy to identify which test spawned a thread with an unhandled
656
exception. (Andrew Bennetts)
657
658
* New ``--debugflag``/``-E`` option to ``bzr selftest`` for setting
659
options for debugging tests, these are complementary to the the -D
660
options. The ``-Dselftest_debug`` global option has been replaced by the
661
``-E=allow_debug`` option for selftest. (Andrew Bennetts)
662
663
* Parameterised test ids are preserved correctly to aid diagnosis of test
664
failures. (Robert Collins, Andrew Bennetts)
665
666
* selftest now accepts --starting-with <id> to load only the tests whose id
667
starts with the one specified. This greatly speeds up running the test
668
suite on a limited set of tests and can be used to run the tests for a
669
single module, a single class or even a single test. (Vincent Ladeuil)
670
671
* The test suite modules have been modified to define load_tests() instead
672
of test_suite(). That speeds up selective loading (via --load-list)
673
significantly and provides many examples on how to migrate (grep for
674
load_tests). (Vincent Ladeuil)
675
676
INTERNALS:
677
678
* ``Hooks.install_hook`` is now deprecated in favour of
679
``Hooks.install_named_hook`` which adds a required ``name`` parameter, to
680
avoid having to call ``Hooks.name_hook``. (Daniel Watkins)
681
682
* Implement xml8 serializer. (Aaron Bentley)
683
684
* New form ``@deprecated_method(deprecated_in(1, 5, 0))`` for making
685
deprecation wrappers. (Martin Pool)
686
687
* ``Repository.revision_parents`` is now deprecated in favour of
688
``Repository.get_parent_map([revid])[revid]``. (Jelmer Vernooij)
689
690
* The Python ``assert`` statement is no longer used in Bazaar source, and
691
a test checks this. (Martin Pool)
692
693
API CHANGES:
694
695
* ``bzrlib.status.show_pending_merges`` requires the repository to be
696
locked by the caller. Callers should have been doing it anyway, but it
697
will now raise an exception if they do not. (John Arbash Meinel)
698
699
* Repository.get_data_stream, Repository.get_data_stream_for_search(),
700
Repository.get_deltas_for_revsions(), Repository.revision_trees(),
701
Repository.item_keys_introduced_by() no longer take read locks.
702
(Aaron Bentley)
703
704
* ``LockableFiles.get_utf8`` and ``.get`` are deprecated, as a start
705
towards removing LockableFiles and ``.control_files`` entirely.
706
(Martin Pool)
707
708
* Methods deprecated prior to 1.1 have been removed.

bzr 1.4 2008-04-28
713
------------------
714
715
This release of Bazaar includes handy improvements to the speed of log and
716
status, new options for several commands, improved documentation, and better
717
hooks, including initial code for server-side hooks. A number of bugs have
718
been fixed, particularly in interoperability between different formats or
719
different releases of Bazaar over there network. There's been substantial
720
internal work in both the repository and network code to enable new features
721
and faster performance.
722
723
BUG FIXES:
724
725
* Pushing a branch in "dirstate" format (Branch5) over bzr+ssh would break
726
if the remote server was < version 1.2. This was due to a bug in the
727
RemoteRepository.get_parent_map() fallback code.

bzr 1.4rc2 2008-04-21
732
---------------------
733
734
BUG FIXES:
735
736
* ``bzr log -r ..X bzr://`` was failing, because it was getting a request
737
for ``revision_id=None`` which was not a string.
738
(John Arbash Meinel, #211661)
739
740
* Fixed a bug in handling ghost revisions when logging changes in a
741
particular file. (John Arbash Meinel, #209948)
742
743
* Fix error about "attempt to add line-delta in non-delta knit".
744
(Andrew Bennetts, #205156)
745
746
* Fixed performance degradation in fetching from knit repositories to
747
knits and packs due to parsing the entire revisions.kndx on every graph
748
walk iteration fixed by using the Repository.get_graph API. There was
749
another regression in knit => knit fetching which re-read the index for

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

[2500/10884, 1fail, 3miss in 1m29s] test_revisionnamespaces.TestRev
1000
1001
* The test suite takes much less memory to run, and is a bit faster. This
1002
is done by clearing most attributes of TestCases after running them, if
1003
they succeeded. (Andrew Bennetts)
1004
1005
INTERNALS:
1006
1007
* Added ``_build_client_protocol`` to ``_SmartClient``. (Andrew Bennetts)
1008
1009
* Added basic infrastructure for automatic plugin suggestion.
1010
(Martin Albisetti)
1011
1012
* If a ``LockableFiles`` object is not explicitly unlocked (for example
1013
because of a missing ``try/finally`` block, it will give a warning but
1014
not automatically unlock itself. (Previously they did.) This
1015
sometimes caused knock-on errors if for example the network connection
1016
had already failed, and should not be relied upon by code.
1017
(Martin Pool, #109520)
1018
1019
* ``make dist`` target to build a release tarball, and also
1020
``check-dist-tarball`` and ``dist-upload-escudero``. (Martin Pool)
1021
1022
* The ``read_response_tuple`` method of ``SmartClientRequestProtocol*``
1023
classes will now raise ``UnknownSmartMethod`` when appropriate, so that
1024
callers don't need to try distinguish unknown request errors from other
1025
errors. (Andrew Bennetts)
1026
1027
* ``set_make_working_trees`` is now implemented provided on all repository
1028
implementations (Aaron Bentley)
1029
1030
* ``VersionedFile`` now has a new method ``get_parent_map`` which, like
1031
``Graph.get_parent_map`` returns a dict of key:parents. (Robert Collins)

1052
------------------
1053
1054
Bazaar has become part of the GNU project <http://www.gnu.org>
1055
1056
Many operations that act on history, including ``log`` and ``annotate`` are now
1057
substantially faster. Several bugs have been fixed and several new options and
1058
features have been added.
1059
1060
TESTING:
1061
1062
* Avoid spurious failure of ``TestVersion.test_version`` matching

NOTES WHEN UPGRADING:
1071
1072
* The backup directory created by ``upgrade`` is now called
1073
``backup.bzr``, not ``.bzr.backup``. (Martin Albisetti)
1074
1075
CHANGES:
1076
1077
* A new repository format 'development' has been added. This format will
1078
represent the latest 'in-progress' format that the bzr developers are
1079
interested in getting early-adopter testing and feedback on.
1080
``doc/developers/development-repo.txt`` has detailed information.
1081
(Robert Collins)
1082
1083
* BZR_LOG environment variable controls location of .bzr.log trace file.
1084
User can suppress writing messages to .bzr.log by using '/dev/null'
1085
filename (on Linux) or 'NUL' (on Windows). If BZR_LOG variable
1086
is not defined but BZR_HOME is defined then default location
1087
for .bzr.log trace file is ``$BZR_HOME/.bzr.log``.
1088
(Alexander Belchenko)
1089
1090
* ``launchpad`` builtin plugin now shipped as separate part in standalone
1091
bzr.exe, installed to ``C:\Program Files\Bazaar\plugins`` directory,
1092
and standalone installer allows user to skip installation of this plugin.
1093
(Alexander Belchenko)
1094
1095
* Restore auto-detection of plink.exe on Windows. (Dmitry Vasiliev)
1096
1097
* Version number is now shown as "1.2" or "1.2pr2", without zeroed or
1098
missing final fields. (Martin Pool)
1099
1100
FEATURES:
1101
1102
* ``branch`` and ``checkout`` can hard-link working tree files, which is
1103
faster and saves space. (Aaron Bentley)
1104
1105
* ``bzr send`` will now also look at the ``child_submit_to`` setting in
1106
the submit branch to determine the email address to send to.
1107
(Jelmer Vernooij)
1108
1109
IMPROVEMENTS:
1110
1111
* BzrBranch._lefthand_history is faster on pack repos. (Aaron Bentley)
1112
1113
* Branch6.generate_revision_history is faster. (Aaron Bentley)
1114
1115
* Directory services can now be registered, allowing special URLs to be
1116
dereferenced into real URLs. This is a generalization and cleanup of
1117
the lp: transport lookup. (Aaron Bentley)
1118
1119
* Merge directives that are automatically attached to emails have nicer
1120
filenames, based on branch-nick + revno. (Aaron Bentley)
1121
1122
* ``push`` has a ``--revision`` option, to specify what revision to push up
1123
to. (Daniel Watkins)
1124
1125
* Significantly reducing execution time and network traffic for trivial
1126
case of running ``bzr missing`` command for two identical branches.
1127
(Alexander Belchenko)
1128
1129
* Speed up operations that look at the revision graph (such as 'bzr log').
1130
``KnitPackRepositor.get_revision_graph`` uses ``Graph.iter_ancestry`` to
1131
extract the revision history. This allows filtering ghosts while
1132
stepping instead of needing to peek ahead. (John Arbash Meinel)
1133
1134
* The ``hooks`` command lists installed hooks, to assist in debugging.
1135
(Daniel Watkins)
1136
1137
* Updates to how ``annotate`` work. Should see a measurable improvement in
1138
performance and memory consumption for file with a lot of merges.
1139
Also, correctly handle when a line is introduced by both parents (it
1140
should be attributed to the first merge which notices this, and not
1141
to all subsequent merges.) (John Arbash Meinel)
1142
1143
BUGFIXES:
1144
1145
* Autopacking no longer holds the full set of inventory lines in
1146
memory while copying. For large repositories, this can amount to
1147
hundreds of MB of ram consumption.
1148
(Ian Clatworthy, John Arbash Meinel)
1149
1150
* Cherrypicking when using ``--format=merge3`` now explictly excludes
1151
BASE lines. (John Arbash Meinel, #151731)
1152
1153
* Disable plink's interactive prompt for password.
1154
(#107593, Dmitry Vasiliev)
1155
1156
* Encode command line arguments from unicode to user_encoding before
1157
invoking external mail client in `bzr send` command.
1158
(#139318, Alexander Belchenko)
1159
1160
* Fixed problem connecting to ``bzr+https://`` servers.
1161
(#198793, John Ferlito)
1162
1163
* Improved error reporting in the Launchpad plugin. (Daniel Watkins,
1164
#196618)
1165
1166
* Include quick-start-summary.svg file to python-based installer(s)
1167
for Windows. (#192924, Alexander Belchenko)
1168
1169
* lca merge now respects specified files. (Aaron Bentley)
1170
1171
* Make version-info --custom imply --all. (#195560, James Westby)
1172
1173
* ``merge --preview`` now works for merges that add or modify
1174
symlinks (James Henstridge)
1175
1176
* Redirecting the output from ``bzr merge`` (when the remembered
1177
location is used) now works. (John Arbash Meinel)
1178
1179
* setup.py script explicitly checks for Python version.
1180
(Jari Aalto, Alexander Belchenko, #200569)
1181
1182
* UnknownFormatErrors no longer refer to branches regardless of kind of
1183
unknown format. (Daniel Watkins, #173980)
1184
1185
* Upgrade bundled ConfigObj to version 4.5.2, which properly quotes #
1186
signs, among other small improvements. (Matt Nordhoff, #86838)
1187
1188
* Use correct indices when emitting LCA conflicts. This fixes IndexError
1189
errors. (Aaron Bentley, #196780)
1190
1191
DOCUMENTATION:
1192
1193
* Explained how to use ``version-info --custom`` in the User Guide.
1194
(Neil Martinsen-Burrell)
1195
1196
API BREAKS:
1197
1198
* Support for loading plugins from zip files and
1199
``bzrlib.plugin.load_from_zip()`` function are deprecated.
1200
(Alexander Belchenko)
1201
1202
TESTING:
1203
1204
* Added missing blackbox tests for ``modified`` (Adrian Wilkins)
1205
1206
* The branch interface tests were invalid for branches using rich-root
1207
repositories because the empty string is not a valid file-id.
1208
(Robert Collins)
1209
1210
INTERNALS:
1211
1212
* ``Graph.iter_ancestry`` returns the ancestry of revision ids. Similar to
1213
``Repository.get_revision_graph()`` except it includes ghosts and you can
1214
stop part-way through. (John Arbash Meinel)
1215
1216
* New module ``tools/package_mf.py`` provide custom module finder for
1217
python packages (improves standard python library's modulefinder.py)
1218
used by ``setup.py`` script while building standalone bzr.exe.
1219
(Alexander Belchenko)
1220
1221
* New remote method ``RemoteBzrDir.find_repositoryV2`` adding support for
1222
detecting external lookup support on remote repositories. This method is
1223
now attempted first when lookup up repositories, leading to an extra
1224
round trip on older bzr smart servers. (Robert Collins)
1225
1226
* Repository formats have a new supported-feature attribute
1227
``supports_external_lookups`` used to indicate repositories which support
1228
falling back to other repositories when they have partial data.
1229
(Robert Collins)
1230
1231
* ``Repository.get_revision_graph_with_ghosts`` and
1232
``bzrlib.revision.(common_ancestor,MultipleRevisionSources,common_graph)``
1233
have been deprecated. (John Arbash Meinel)
1234
1235
* ``Tree.iter_changes`` is now a public API, replacing the work-in-progress
1236
``Tree._iter_changes``. The api is now considered stable and ready for
1237
external users. (Aaron Bentley)
1238
1239
* The bzrdir format registry now accepts an ``alias`` keyword to
1240
register_metadir, used to indicate that a format name is an alias for
1241
some other format and thus should not be reported when describing the
1242
format. (Robert Collins)

1254
---------------------
1255
1256
NOTES WHEN UPGRADING:
1257
1258
* Fetching via the smart protocol may need to reconnect once during a fetch
1259
if the remote server is running Bazaar 1.1 or earlier, because the client
1260
attempts to use more efficient requests that confuse older servers. You
1261
may be required to re-enter a password or passphrase when this happens.
1262
This won't happen if the server is upgraded to Bazaar 1.2.
1263
(Andrew Bennetts)
1264
1265
CHANGES:
1266
1267
* Fetching via bzr+ssh will no longer fill ghosts by default (this is
1268
consistent with pack-0.92 fetching over SFTP). (Robert Collins)
1269
1270
* Formatting of ``bzr plugins`` output is changed to be more human-
1271
friendly. Full path of plugins locations will be shown only with
1272
``--verbose`` command-line option. (Alexander Belchenko)
1273
1274
* ``merge`` now prefers to use the submit branch, but will fall back to
1275
parent branch. For many users, this has no effect. But some users who
1276
pull and merge on the same branch will notice a change. This change
1277
makes it easier to work on a branch on two different machines, pulling
1278
between the machines, while merging from the upstream.
1279
``merge --remember`` can now be used to set the submit_branch.
1280
(Aaron Bentley)
1281
1282
FEATURES:
1283
1284
* ``merge --preview`` produces a diff of the changes merge would make,
1285
but does not actually perform the merge. (Aaron Bentley)
1286
1287
* New smart method ``Repository.get_parent_map`` for getting revision
1288
parent data. This returns additional parent information topologically
1289
adjacent to the requested data to reduce round trip latency impacts.
1290
(Robert Collins)
1291
1292
* New smart method, ``Repository.stream_revisions_chunked``, for fetching
1293
revision data that streams revision data via a chunked encoding. This
1294
avoids buffering large amounts of revision data on the server and on the
1295
client, and sends less data to the server to request the revisions.
1296
(Andrew Bennetts, Robert Collins, #178353)
1297
1298
* The launchpad plugin now handles lp urls of the form
1299
``lp://staging/``, ``lp://demo/``, ``lp://dev/`` to use the appropriate
1300
launchpad instance to do the resolution of the branch identities.
1301
This is primarily of use to Launchpad developers, but can also
1302
be used by other users who want to try out Launchpad as
1303
a branch location without messing up their public Launchpad
1304
account. Branches that are pushed to the staging environment
1305
have an expected lifetime of one day. (Tim Penhey)
1306
1307
IMPROVEMENTS:
1308
1309
* Creating a new branch no longer tries to read the entire revision-history
1310
unnecessarily over smart server operations. (Robert Collins)
1311
1312
* Fetching between different repository formats with compatible models now
1313
takes advantage of the smart method to stream revisions. (Andrew Bennetts)
1314
1315
* The ``--coverage`` option is now global, rather specific to ``bzr
1316
selftest``. (Andrew Bennetts)
1317
1318
* The ``register-branch`` command will now use the public url of the branch
1319
containing the current directory, if one has been set and no explicit
1320
branch is provided. (Robert Collins)
1321
1322
* Tweak the ``reannotate`` code path to optimize the 2-parent case.
1323
Speeds up ``bzr annotate`` with a pack repository by approx 3:2.
1324
(John Arbash Meinel)
1325
1326
BUGFIXES:
1327
1328
* Calculate remote path relative to the shared medium in _SmartClient. This
1329
is related to the problem in bug #124089. (Andrew Bennetts)
1330
1331
* Cleanly handle connection errors in smart protocol version two, the same
1332
way as they are handled by version one. (Andrew Bennetts)
1333
1334
* Clearer error when ``version-info --custom`` is used without
1335
``--template`` (Lukáš Lalinský)
1336
1337
* Don't raise UnavailableFeature during test setup when medusa is not
1338
available or tearDown is never called leading to nasty side effects.
1339
(#137823, Vincent Ladeuil)
1340
1341
* If a plugin's test suite cannot be loaded, for example because of a syntax
1342
error in the tests, then ``selftest`` fails, rather than just printing
1343
a warning. (Martin Pool, #189771)
1344
1345
* List possible values for BZR_SSH environment variable in env-variables
1346
help topic. (Alexander Belchenko, #181842)
1347
1348
* New methods ``push_log_file`` and ``pop_log_file`` to intercept messages:
1349
popping the log redirection now precisely restores the previous state,
1350
which makes it easier to use bzr log output from other programs.
1351
TestCaseInTempDir no longer depends on a log redirection being established
1352
by the test framework, which lets bzr tests cleanly run from a normal
1353
unittest runner.
1354
(#124153, #124849, Martin Pool, Jonathan Lange)
1355
1356
* ``pull --quiet`` is now more quiet, in particular a message is no longer
1357
printed when the remembered pull location is used. (James Westby,
1358
#185907)
1359
1360
* ``reconfigure`` can safely be interrupted while fetching.
1361
(Aaron Bentley, #179316)
1362
1363
* ``reconfigure`` preserves tags when converting to and from lightweight
1364
checkouts. (Aaron Bentley, #182040)
1365
1366
* Stop polluting /tmp when running selftest.
1367
(Vincent Ladeuil, #123623)
1368
1369
* Switch from NFKC => NFC for normalization checks. NFC allows a few
1370
more characters which should be considered valid.
1371
(John Arbash Meinel, #185458)
1372
1373
* The launchpad plugin now uses the ``edge`` xmlrpc server to avoid
1374
interacting badly with a bug on the launchpad side. (Robert Collins)
1375
1376
* Unknown hostnames when connecting to a ``bzr://`` URL no longer cause
1377
tracebacks. (Andrew Bennetts, #182849)
1378
1379
API BREAKS:
1380
1381
* Classes implementing Merge types like Merge3Merger must now accept (and
1382
honour) a do_merge flag in their constructor. (Aaron Bentley)
1383
1384
* ``Repository.add_inventory`` and ``add_revision`` now require the caller
1385
to previously take a write lock (and start a write group.)
1386
(Martin Pool)
1387
1388
TESTING:
1389
1390
* selftest now accepts --load-list <file> to load a test id list. This
1391
speeds up running the test suite on a limited set of tests.
1392
(Vincent Ladeuil)
1393
1394
INTERNALS:
1395
1396
* Add a new method ``get_result`` to graph search objects. The resulting
1397
``SearchResult`` can be used to recreate the search later, which will
1398
be useful in reducing network traffic. (Robert Collins)
1399
1400
* Use convenience function to check whether two repository handles
1401
are referring to the same repository in ``Repository.get_graph``.
1402
(Jelmer Vernooij, #187162)
1403
1404
* Fetching now passes the find_ghosts flag through to the
1405
``InterRepository.missing_revision_ids`` call consistently for all
1406
repository types. This will enable faster missing revision discovery with
1407
bzr+ssh. (Robert Collins)
1408
1409
* Fix error handling in Repository.insert_data_stream. (Lukas Lalinsky)
1410
1411
* ``InterRepository.missing_revision_ids`` is now deprecated in favour of
1412
``InterRepository.search_missing_revision_ids`` which returns a
1413
``bzrlib.graph.SearchResult`` suitable for making requests from the smart
1414
server. (Robert Collins)
1415
1416
* New error ``NoPublicBranch`` for commands that need a public branch to
1417
operate. (Robert Collins)
1418
1419
* New method ``iter_inventories`` on Repository for access to many
1420
inventories. This is primarily used by the ``revision_trees`` method, as
1421
direct access to inventories is discouraged. (Robert Collins)
1422
1423
* New method ``next_with_ghosts`` on the Graph breadth-first-search objects
1424
which will split out ghosts and present parents into two separate sets,
1425
useful for code which needs to be aware of ghosts (e.g. fetching data
1426
cares about ghosts during revision selection). (Robert Collins)
1427
1428
* Record a timestamp against each mutter to the trace file, relative to the
1429
first import of bzrlib. (Andrew Bennetts)
1430
1431
* ``Repository.get_data_stream`` is now deprecated in favour of
1432
``Repository.get_data_stream_for_search`` which allows less network
1433
traffic when requesting data streams over a smart server. (Robert Collins)
1434
1435
* ``RemoteBzrDir._get_tree_branch`` no longer triggers ``_ensure_real``,
1436
removing one round trip on many network operations. (Robert Collins)
1437
1438
* RemoteTransport's ``recommended_page_size`` method now returns 64k, like
1439
SFTPTransport and HttpTransportBase. (Andrew Bennetts)
1440
1441
* Repository has a new method ``has_revisions`` which signals the presence
1442
of many revisions by returning a set of the revisions listed which are
1443
present. This can be done by index queries without reading data for parent
1444
revision names etc. (Robert Collins)

bzr 1.1rc1 2008-01-05
1453
---------------------
1454
1455
CHANGES:
1456
1457
* Dotted revision numbers have been revised. Instead of growing longer with
1458
nested branches the branch number just increases. (eg instead of 1.1.1.1.1
1459
we now report 1.2.1.) This helps scale long lived branches which have many
1460
feature branches merged between them. (John Arbash Meinel)
1461
1462
* The syntax ``bzr diff branch1 branch2`` is no longer supported.
1463
Use ``bzr diff branch1 --new branch2`` instead. This change has
1464
been made to remove the ambiguity where ``branch2`` is in fact a
1465
specific file to diff within ``branch1``.
1466
1467
FEATURES:
1468
1469
* New option to use custom template-based formats in ``bzr version-info``.
1470
(Lukáš Lalinský)
1471
1472
* diff '--using' allows an external diff tool to be used for files.
1473
(Aaron Bentley)
1474
1475
* New "lca" merge-type for fast everyday merging that also supports
1476
criss-cross merges. (Aaron Bentley)
1477
1478
IMPROVEMENTS:
1479
1480
* ``annotate`` now doesn't require a working tree. (Lukáš Lalinský,
1481
#90049)
1482
1483
* ``branch`` and ``checkout`` can now use files from a working tree to
1484
to speed up the process. For checkout, this requires the new
1485
--files-from flag. (Aaron Bentley)
1486
1487
* ``bzr diff`` now sorts files in alphabetical order. (Aaron Bentley)
1488
1489
* ``bzr diff`` now works on branches without working trees. Tree-less
1490
branches can also be compared to each other and to working trees using
1491
the new diff options ``--old`` and ``--new``. Diffing between branches,
1492
with or without trees, now supports specific file filtering as well.
1493
(Ian Clatworthy, #6700)
1494
1495
* ``bzr pack`` now orders revision texts in topological order, with newest
1496
at the start of the file, promoting linear reads for ``bzr log`` and the
1497
like. This partially fixes #154129. (Robert Collins)
1498
1499
* Merge directives now fetch prerequisites from the target branch if
1500
needed. (Aaron Bentley)
1501
1502
* pycurl now handles digest authentication.
1503
(Vincent Ladeuil)
1504
1505
* ``reconfigure`` can now convert from repositories. (Aaron Bentley)
1506
1507
* ``-l`` is now a short form for ``--limit`` in ``log``. (Matt Nordhoff)
1508
1509
* ``merge`` now warns when merge directives cause cherrypicks.
1510
(Aaron Bentley)
1511
1512
* ``split`` now supported, to enable splitting large trees into smaller
1513
pieces. (Aaron Bentley)
1514
1515
BUGFIXES:
1516
1517
* Avoid AttributeError when unlocking a pack repository when an error occurs.
1518
(Martin Pool, #180208)
1519
1520
* Better handle short reads when processing multiple range requests.
1521
(Vincent Ladeuil, #179368)
1522
1523
* build_tree acceleration uses the correct path when a file has been moved.
1524
(Aaron Bentley)
1525
1526
* ``commit`` now succeeds when a checkout and its master branch share a
1527
repository. (Aaron Bentley, #177592)
1528
1529
* Fixed error reporting of unsupported timezone format in
1530
``log --timezone``. (Lukáš Lalinský, #178722)
1531
1532
* Fixed Unicode encoding error in ``ignored`` when the output is
1533
redirected to a pipe. (Lukáš Lalinský)
1534
1535
* Fix traceback when sending large response bodies over the smart protocol
1536
on Windows. (Andrew Bennetts, #115781)
1537
1538
* Fix ``urlutils.relative_url`` for the case of two ``file:///`` URLs
1539
pointed to different logical drives on Windows.
1540
(Alexander Belchenko, #90847)
1541
1542
* HTTP test servers are now compatible with the http protocol version 1.1.
1543
(Vincent Ladeuil, #175524)
1544
1545
* _KnitParentsProvider.get_parent_map now handles requests for ghosts
1546
correctly, instead of erroring or attributing incorrect parents to ghosts.
1547
(Aaron Bentley)
1548
1549
* ``merge --weave --uncommitted`` now works. (Aaron Bentley)
1550
1551
* pycurl authentication handling was broken and incomplete. Fix handling of
1552
user:pass embedded in the urls.
1553
(Vincent Ladeuil, #177643)
1554
1555
* Files inside non-directories are now handled like other conflict types.
1556
(Aaron Bentley, #177390)
1557
1558
* ``reconfigure`` is able to convert trees into lightweight checkouts.
1559
(Aaron Bentley)
1560
1561
* Reduce lockdir timeout to 0 when running ``bzr serve``. (Andrew Bennetts,
1562
#148087)
1563
1564
* Test that the old ``version_info_format`` functions still work, even
1565
though they are deprecated. (John Arbash Meinel, ShenMaq, #177872)
1566
1567
* Transform failures no longer cause ImmortalLimbo errors (Aaron Bentley,
1568
#137681)
1569
1570
* ``uncommit`` works even when the commit messages of revisions to be
1571
removed use characters not supported in the terminal encoding.
1572
(Aaron Bentley)
1573
1574
* When dumb http servers return whole files instead of the requested ranges,
1575
read the remaining bytes by chunks to avoid overflowing network buffers.
1576
(Vincent Ladeuil, #175886)
1577
1578
DOCUMENTATION:
1579
1580
* Minor tweaks made to the bug tracker integration documentation.
1581
(Ian Clatworthy)
1582
1583
* Reference material has now be moved out of the User Guide and added
1584
to the User Reference. The User Reference has gained 4 sections as
1585
a result: Authenication Settings, Configuration Settings, Conflicts
1586
and Hooks. All help topics are now dumped into text format in the
1587
doc/en/user-reference directory for those who like browsing that
1588
information in their editor. (Ian Clatworthy)
1589
1590
* *Using Bazaar with Launchpad* tutorial added. (Ian Clatworthy)
1591
1592
INTERNALS:
1593
1594
* find_* methods available for BzrDirs, Branches and WorkingTrees.
1595

1596
1597
* Help topics can now be loaded from files.
1598
(Ian Clatworthy, Alexander Belchenko)
1599
1600
* get_parent_map now always provides tuples as its output. (Aaron Bentley)
1601
1602
* Parent Providers should now implement ``get_parent_map`` returning a
1603
dictionary instead of ``get_parents`` returning a list.
1604
``Graph.get_parents`` is now deprecated. (John Arbash Meinel,
1605
Robert Collins)
1606
1607
* Patience Diff now supports arbitrary python objects, as long as they
1608
support ``hash()``. (John Arbash Meinel)
1609
1610
* Reduce selftest overhead to establish test names by memoization.
1611
(Vincent Ladeuil)
1612
1613
API BREAKS:
1614
1615
TESTING:
1616
1617
* Modules can now customise their tests by defining a ``load_tests``
1618
attribute. ``pydoc bzrlib.tests.TestUtil.TestLoader.loadTestsFromModule``
1619
for the documentation on this attribute. (Robert Collins)
1620
1621
* New helper function ``bzrlib.tests.condition_id_re`` which helps
1622
filter tests based on a regular expression search on the tests id.
1623
(Robert Collins)
1624
1625
* New helper function ``bzrlib.tests.condition_isinstance`` which helps
1626
filter tests based on class. (Robert Collins)
1627
1628
* New helper function ``bzrlib.tests.exclude_suite_by_condition`` which
1629
generalises the ``exclude_suite_by_re`` function. (Robert Collins)
1630
1631
* New helper function ``bzrlib.tests.filter_suite_by_condition`` which
1632
generalises the ``filter_suite_by_re`` function. (Robert Collins)
1633
1634
* New helper method ``bzrlib.tests.exclude_tests_by_re`` which gives a new
1635
TestSuite that does not contain tests from the input that matched a
1636
regular expression. (Robert Collins)
1637
1638
* New helper method ``bzrlib.tests.randomize_suite`` which returns a
1639
randomized copy of the input suite. (Robert Collins)
1640
1641
* New helper method ``bzrlib.tests.split_suite_by_re`` which splits a test
1642
suite into two according to a regular expression. (Robert Collins)
1643
1644
* Parametrize all http tests for the transport implementations, the http
1645
protocol versions (1.0 and 1.1) and the authentication schemes.
1646
(Vincent Ladeuil)
1647
1648
* The ``exclude_pattern`` and ``random_order`` parameters to the function
1649
``bzrlib.tests.filter_suite_by_re`` have been deprecated. (Robert Collins)
1650
1651
* The method ``bzrlib.tests.sort_suite_by_re`` has been deprecated. It is
1652
replaced by the new helper methods added in this release. (Robert Collins)

1680
(Martin Pool)
1681

BUGFIXES:
1683
1684
* Fix Makefile rules for doc generation. (Ian Clatworthy, #175207)
1685
1686
* Give more feedback during long http downloads by making readv deliver data
1687
as it arrives for urllib, and issue more requests for pycurl. High latency
1688
networks are better handled by urllib, the pycurl implementation give more
1689
feedback but also incur more latency.
1690
(Vincent Ladeuil, #173010)
1691
1692
* Implement _make_parents_provider on RemoteRepository, allowing generating
1693
bundles against branches on a smart server. (Andrew Bennetts, #147836)

1720
* ``bzr commit`` now doesn't print the revision number twice. (Matt
1721
Nordhoff, #172612)
1722
1723
* New configuration option ``bugtracker_<tracker_abbrevation>_url`` to
1724
define locations of bug trackers that are not directly supported by
1725
bzr or a plugin. The URL will be treated as a template and ``{id}``
1726
placeholders will be replaced by specific bug IDs. (Lukáš Lalinský)
1727
1728
* Support logging single merge revisions with short and line log formatters.
1729
(Kent Gibson)
1730
1731
* User Guide enhanced with suggested readability improvements from
1732
Matt Revell and corrections from John Arbash Meinel. (Ian Clatworthy)
1733
1734
* Quick Start Guide renamed to Quick Start Card, moved down in
1735
the catalog, provided in pdf and png format and updated to refer
1736
to ``send`` instead of ``bundle``. (Ian Clatworthy, #165080)
1737
1738
* ``switch`` can now be used on heavyweight checkouts as well as
1739
lightweight ones. After switching a heavyweight checkout, the
1740
local branch is a mirror/cache of the new bound branch and
1741
uncommitted changes in the working tree are merged. As a safety
1742
check, if there are local commits in a checkout which have not
1743
been committed to the previously bound branch, then ``switch``
1744
fails unless the ``--force`` option is given. This option is
1745
now also required if the branch a lightweight checkout is pointing
1746
to has been moved. (Ian Clatworthy)

* Catch OSError 17 (file exists) in final phase of tree transform and show
1761
filename to user.
1762
(Alexander Belchenko, #111758)
1763
1764
* Catch ShortReadvErrors while using pycurl. Also make readv more robust by
1765
allowing multiple GET requests to be issued if too many ranges are
1766
required.
1767
(Vincent Ladeuil, #172701)
1768
1769
* Check for missing basis texts when fetching from packs to packs.
1770
(John Arbash Meinel, #165290)
1771
1772
* Fall back to showing e-mail in ``log --short/--line`` if the

committer/author has only e-mail. (Lukáš Lalinský, #157026)
1774
1775

1782
---------------------
1783
1784
NOTES WHEN UPGRADING:
1785
1786
* The default repository format is now ``pack-0.92``. This
1787
default is used when creating new repositories with ``init`` and
1788
``init-repo``, and when branching over bzr+ssh or bzr+hpss.
1789
(See https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/164626)
1790
1791
This format can be read and written by Bazaar 0.92 and later, and
1792
data can be transferred to and from older formats.
1793
1794
To upgrade, please reconcile your repository (``bzr reconcile``), and then
1795
upgrade (``bzr upgrade``).
1796
1797
``pack-0.92`` offers substantially better scaling and performance than the
1798
previous knits format. Some operations are slower where the code already
1799
had bad scaling characteristics under knits, the pack format makes such
1800
operations more visible as part of being more scalable overall. We will
1801
correct such operations over the coming releases and encourage the filing
1802
of bugs on any operation which you observe to be slower in a packs
1803
repository. One particular case that we do not intend to fix is pulling
1804
data from a pack repository into a knit repository over a high latency
1805
link; downgrading such data requires reinsertion of the file texts, and
1806
this is a classic space/time tradeoff. The current implementation is
1807
conservative on memory usage because we need to support converting data
1808
from any tree without problems.
1809
(Robert Collins, Martin Pool, #164476)
1810
1811
CHANGES:
1812
1813
* Disable detection of plink.exe as possible ssh vendor. Plink vendor
1814
still available if user selects it explicitly with BZR_SSH environment
1815
variable. (Alexander Belchenko, workaround for bug #107593)
1816
1817
* The pack format is now accessible as "pack-0.92", or "pack-0.92-subtree"
1818
to enable the subtree functions (for example, for bzr-svn).
1819
See http://doc.bazaar-vcs.org/latest/developer/packrepo.html
1820
(Martin Pool)
1821
1822
FEATURES:
1823
1824
* New ``authentication.conf`` file holding the password or other credentials
1825
for remote servers. This can be used for ssh, sftp, smtp and other
1826
supported transports.
1827
(Vincent Ladeuil)
1828
1829
* New rich-root and rich-root-pack formats, recording the same data about
1830
tree roots that's recorded for all other directories.
1831
(Aaron Bentley, #164639)
1832
1833
* ``pack-0.92`` repositories can now be reconciled.
1834
(Robert Collins, #154173)
1835
1836
* ``switch`` command added for changing the branch a lightweight checkout
1837
is associated with and updating the tree to reflect the latest content
1838
accordingly. This command was previously part of the BzrTools plug-in.
1839
(Ian Clatworthy, Aaron Bentley, David Allouche)
1840
1841
* ``reconfigure`` command can now convert branches, trees, or checkouts to
1842
lightweight checkouts. (Aaron Bentley)
1843
1844
PERFORMANCE:
1845
1846
* Commit updates the state of the working tree via a delta rather than
1847
supplying entirely new basis trees. For commit of a single specified file
1848
this reduces the wall clock time for commit by roughly a 30%.
1849
(Robert Collins, Martin Pool)
1850
1851
* Commit with many automatically found deleted paths no longer performs
1852
linear scanning for the children of those paths during inventory
1853
iteration. This should fix commit performance blowing out when many such
1854
paths occur during commit. (Robert Collins, #156491)
1855
1856
* Fetch with pack repositories will no longer read the entire history graph.
1857
(Robert Collins, #88319)
1858
1859
* Revert takes out an appropriate lock when reverting to a basis tree, and
1860
does not read the basis inventory twice. (Robert Collins)
1861
1862
* Diff does not require an inventory to be generated on dirstate trees.
1863
(Aaron Bentley, #149254)
1864
1865
* New annotate merge (--merge-type=weave) implementation is fast on
1866
versionedfiles withough cached annotations, e.g. pack-0.92.
1867
(Aaron Bentley)
1868
1869
IMPROVEMENTS:
1870
1871
* ``bzr merge`` now warns when it encounters a criss-cross merge.
1872
(Aaron Bentley)
1873
1874
* ``bzr send`` now doesn't require the target e-mail address to be
1875
specified on the command line if an interactive e-mail client is used.
1876
(Lukáš Lalinský)
1877
1878
* ``bzr tags`` now prints the revision number for each tag, instead of
1879
the revision id, unless --show-ids is passed. In addition, tags can be
1880
sorted chronologically instead of lexicographically with --sort=time.

1883
* Windows standalone version of bzr is able to load system-wide plugins from
1884
"plugins" subdirectory in installation directory. In addition standalone
1885

1950
to be reconciled.
1951
(Martin Pool, #164443)
1952
1953
* It is clearer when a plugin cannot be loaded because of its name, and a
1954
suggestion for an acceptable name is given. (Daniel Watkins, #103023)

1995
directory. (Aaron Bentley)
1996
1997
* Stderr output via logging mechanism now goes through encoded wrapper

and no more uses utf-8, but terminal encoding instead. So all unicode
1999
strings now should be readable in non-utf-8 terminal.
2000
(Alexander Belchenko, #54173)
2001
2002
* The error message when ``move --after`` should be used makes how to do so
2003
clearer. (Daniel Watkins, #85237)
2004
2005
* Unicode-safe output from ``bzr info``. The output will be encoded
2006
using the terminal encoding and unrepresentable characters will be
2007
replaced by '?'. (Lukáš Lalinský, #151844)
2008
2009
* Working trees are no longer created when pushing into a local no-trees
2010
repo. (Daniel Watkins, #50582)
2011
2012
* Upgrade util/configobj to version 4.4.0.

(Vincent Ladeuil, #157752)
2017
2018
API BREAKS:
2019
2020
* ``osutils.backup_file`` is deprecated. Actually it's not used in bzrlib
2021
during very long time. (Alexander Belchenko)
2022
2023
* The return value of
2024
``VersionedFile.iter_lines_added_or_present_in_versions`` has been
2025
changed. Previously it was an iterator of lines, now it is an iterator of
2026
(line, version_id) tuples. This change has been made to aid reconcile and
2027
fetch operations. (Robert Collins)
2028
2029
* ``bzrlib.repository.get_versioned_file_checker`` is now private.
2030
(Robert Collins)
2031
2032
* The Repository format registry default has been removed; it was previously
2033
obsoleted by the bzrdir format default, which implies a default repository
2034
format.
2035
(Martin Pool)
2036
2037
INTERNALS:
2038
2039
* Added ``ContainerSerialiser`` and ``ContainerPushParser`` to
2040
``bzrlib.pack``. These classes provide more convenient APIs for generating
2041
and parsing containers from streams rather than from files. (Andrew
2042
Bennetts)
2043
2044
* New module ``lru_cache`` providing a cache for use by tasks that need
2045
semi-random access to large amounts of data. (John A Meinel)
2046
2047
* InventoryEntry.diff is now deprecated. Please use diff.DiffTree instead.

NOTES WHEN UPGRADING:
2064
2065
CHANGES:
2066
2067
* ``bzr`` now returns exit code 4 if an internal error occurred, and
2068
3 if a normal error occurred. (Martin Pool)
2069
2070
* ``pull``, ``merge`` and ``push`` will no longer silently correct some
2071
repository index errors that occured as a result of the Weave disk format.
2072
Instead the ``reconcile`` command needs to be run to correct those
2073
problems if they exist (and it has been able to fix most such problems
2074
since bzr 0.8). Some new problems have been identified during this release
2075
and you should run ``bzr check`` once on every repository to see if you
2076
need to reconcile. If you cannot ``pull`` or ``merge`` from a remote
2077
repository due to mismatched parent errors - a symptom of index errors -
2078
you should simply take a full copy of that remote repository to a clean
2079
directory outside any local repositories, then run reconcile on it, and
2080
finally pull from it locally. (And naturally email the repositories owner
2081
to ask them to upgrade and run reconcile).
2082
(Robert Collins)
2083
2084
FEATURES:
2085
2086
* New ``knitpack-experimental`` repository format. This is interoperable with
2087
the ``dirstate-tags`` format but uses a smarter storage design that greatly
2088
speeds up many operations, both local and remote. This new format can be
2089
used as an option to the ``init``, ``init-repository`` and ``upgrade``
2090
commands. See http://doc.bazaar-vcs.org/0.92/developers/knitpack.html
2091
for further details. (Robert Collins)
2092
2093
* For users of bzr-svn (and those testing the prototype subtree support) that
2094
wish to try packs, a new ``knitpack-subtree-experimental`` format has also
2095
been added. This is interoperable with the ``dirstate-subtrees`` format.
2096
(Robert Collins)
2097
2098
* New ``reconfigure`` command. (Aaron Bentley)
2099
2100
* New ``revert --forget-merges`` command, which removes the record of a pending
2101
merge without affecting the working tree contents. (Martin Pool)
2102
2103
* New ``bzr_remote_path`` configuration variable allows finer control of
2104
remote bzr locations than BZR_REMOTE_PATH environment variable.
2105
(Aaron Bentley)
2106
2107
* New ``launchpad-login`` command to tell Bazaar your Launchpad
2108
user ID. This can then be used by other functions of the
2109
Launchpad plugin. (James Henstridge)
2110
2111
PERFORMANCE:
2112
2113
* Commit in quiet mode is now slightly faster as the information to
2114
output is no longer calculated. (Ian Clatworthy)
2115
2116
* Commit no longer checks for new text keys during insertion when the
2117
revision id was deterministically unique. (Robert Collins)
2118
2119
* Committing a change which is not a merge and does not change the number of
2120
files in the tree is faster by utilising the data about whether files are
2121
changed to determine if the tree is unchanged rather than recalculating
2122
it at the end of the commit process. (Robert Collins)
2123
2124
* Inventory serialisation no longer double-sha's the content.
2125
(Robert Collins)
2126
2127
* Knit text reconstruction now avoids making copies of the lines list for
2128
interim texts when building a single text. The new ``apply_delta`` method
2129
on ``KnitContent`` aids this by allowing modification of the revision id
2130
such objects represent. (Robert Collins)
2131
2132
* Pack indices are now partially parsed for specific key lookup using a
2133
bisection approach. (Robert Collins)
2134
2135
* Partial commits are now approximately 40% faster by walking over the
2136
unselected current tree more efficiently. (Robert Collins)
2137
2138
* XML inventory serialisation takes 20% less time while being stricter about
2139
the contents. (Robert Collins)
2140
2141
* Graph ``heads()`` queries have been fixed to no longer access all history
2142
unnecessarily. (Robert Collins)
2143
2144
IMPROVEMENTS:
2145
2146
* ``bzr+https://`` smart server across https now supported.
2147
(John Ferlito, Martin Pool, #128456)
2148
2149
* Mutt is now a supported mail client; set ``mail_client=mutt`` in your
2150
bazaar.conf and ``send`` will use mutt. (Keir Mierle)
2151
2152
* New option ``-c``/``--change`` for ``merge`` command for cherrypicking
2153
changes from one revision. (Alexander Belchenko, #141368)
2154
2155
* Show encodings, locale and list of plugins in the traceback message.
2156
(Martin Pool, #63894)
2157
2158
* Experimental directory formats can now be marked with
2159
``experimental = True`` during registration. (Ian Clatworthy)
2160
2161
DOCUMENTATION:
2162
2163
* New *Bazaar in Five Minutes* guide. (Matthew Revell)
2164
2165
* The hooks reference documentation is now converted to html as expected.
2166
(Ian Clatworthy)
2167
2168
BUG FIXES:
2169
2170
* Connection error reporting for the smart server has been fixed to
2171
display a user friendly message instead of a traceback.
2172
(Ian Clatworthy, #115601)
2173
2174
* Make sure to use ``O_BINARY`` when opening files to check their
2175
sha1sum. (Alexander Belchenko, John Arbash Meinel, #153493)
2176
2177
* Fix a problem with Win32 handling of the executable bit.
2178
(John Arbash Meinel, #149113)
2179
2180
* ``bzr+ssh://`` and ``sftp://`` URLs that do not specify ports explicitly
2181
no longer assume that means port 22. This allows people using OpenSSH to
2182
override the default port in their ``~/.ssh/config`` if they wish. This
2183
fixes a bug introduced in bzr 0.91. (Andrew Bennetts, #146715)
2184
2185
* Commands reporting exceptions can now be profiled and still have their
2186
data correctly dumped to a file. For example, a ``bzr commit`` with
2187
no changes still reports the operation as pointless but doing so no
2188
longer throws away the profiling data if this command is run with
2189
``--lsprof-file callgrind.out.ci`` say. (Ian Clatworthy)
2190
2191
* Fallback to ftp when paramiko is not installed and sftp can't be used for
2192
``tests/commands`` so that the test suite is still usable without
2193
paramiko.
2194
(Vincent Ladeuil, #59150)
2195
2196
* Fix commit ordering in corner case. (Aaron Bentley, #94975)
2197
2198
* Fix long standing bug in partial commit when there are renames
2199
left in tree. (Robert Collins, #140419)
2200
2201
* Fix selftest semi-random noise during http related tests.
2202
(Vincent Ladeuil, #140614)
2203
2204
* Fix typo in ftp.py making the reconnection fail on temporary errors.
2205
(Vincent Ladeuil, #154259)
2206
2207
* Fix failing test by comparing real paths to cover the case where the TMPDIR
2208
contains a symbolic link.
2209
(Vincent Ladeuil, #141382).
2210
2211
* Fix log against smart server branches that don't support tags.
2212
(James Westby, #140615)
2213
2214
* Fix pycurl http implementation by defining error codes from
2215
pycurl instead of relying on an old curl definition.
2216
(Vincent Ladeuil, #147530)
2217
2218
* Fix 'unprintable error' message when displaying BzrCheckError and
2219
some other exceptions on Python 2.5.
2220
(Martin Pool, #144633)
2221
2222
* Fix ``Inventory.copy()`` and add test for it. (Jelmer Vernooij)
2223
2224
* Handles default value for ListOption in cmd_commit.
2225
(Vincent Ladeuil, #140432)
2226
2227
* HttpServer and FtpServer need to be closed properly or a listening socket
2228
will remain opened.
2229
(Vincent Ladeuil, #140055)
2230
2231
* Monitor the .bzr directory created in the top level test
2232
directory to detect leaking tests.
2233
(Vincent Ladeuil, #147986)
2234
2235
* The basename, not the full path, is now used when checking whether
2236
the profiling dump file begins with ``callgrind.out`` or not. This
2237
fixes a bug reported by Aaron Bentley on IRC. (Ian Clatworthy)
2238
2239
* Trivial fix for invoking command ``reconfigure`` without arguments.
2240
(Rob Weir, #141629)
2241
2242
* ``WorkingTree.rename_one`` will now raise an error if normalisation of the
2243
new path causes bzr to be unable to access the file. (Robert Collins)
2244
2245
* Correctly detect a NoSuchFile when using a filezilla server. (Gary van der
2246
Merwe)
2247
2248
API BREAKS:
2249
2250
* ``bzrlib.index.GraphIndex`` now requires a size parameter to the
2251
constructor, for enabling bisection searches. (Robert Collins)
2252
2253
* ``CommitBuilder.record_entry_contents`` now requires the root entry of a
2254
tree be supplied to it, previously failing to do so would trigger a
2255
deprecation warning. (Robert Collins)
2256
2257
* ``KnitVersionedFile.add*`` will no longer cache added records even when
2258
enable_cache() has been called - the caching feature is now exclusively for
2259
reading existing data. (Robert Collins)
2260
2261
* ``ReadOnlyLockError`` is deprecated; ``LockFailed`` is usually more
2262
appropriate. (Martin Pool)
2263
2264
* Removed ``bzrlib.transport.TransportLogger`` - please see the new
2265
``trace+`` transport instead. (Robert Collins)
2266
2267
* Removed previously deprecated varargs interface to ``TestCase.run_bzr`` and
2268
deprecated methods ``TestCase.capture`` and ``TestCase.run_bzr_captured``.
2269
(Martin Pool)
2270
2271
* Removed previous deprecated ``basis_knit`` parameter to the
2272
``KnitVersionedFile`` constructor. (Robert Collins)
2273
2274
* Special purpose method ``TestCase.run_bzr_decode`` is moved to the test_non_ascii
2275
class that needs it.
2276
(Martin Pool)
2277
2278
* The class ``bzrlib.repofmt.knitrepo.KnitRepository3`` has been folded into
2279
``KnitRepository`` by parameters to the constructor. (Robert Collins)
2280
2281
* The ``VersionedFile`` interface now allows content checks to be bypassed
2282
by supplying check_content=False. This saves nearly 30% of the minimum
2283
cost to store a version of a file. (Robert Collins)
2284
2285
* Tree's with bad state such as files with no length or sha will no longer
2286
be silently accepted by the repository XML serialiser. To serialise
2287
inventories without such data, pass working=True to write_inventory.
2288
(Robert Collins)
2289
2290
* ``VersionedFile.fix_parents`` has been removed as a harmful API.
2291
``VersionedFile.join`` will no longer accept different parents on either
2292
side of a join - it will either ignore them, or error, depending on the
2293
implementation. See notes when upgrading for more information.
2294
(Robert Collins)
2295
2296
INTERNALS:
2297
2298
* ``bzrlib.transport.Transport.put_file`` now returns the number of bytes
2299
put by the method call, to allow avoiding stat-after-write or
2300
housekeeping in callers. (Robert Collins)
2301
2302
* ``bzrlib.xml_serializer.Serializer`` is now responsible for checking that
2303
mandatory attributes are present on serialisation and deserialisation.
2304
This fixes some holes in API usage and allows better separation between
2305
physical storage and object serialisation. (Robert Collins)
2306
2307
* New class ``bzrlib.errors.InternalBzrError`` which is just a convenient
2308
shorthand for deriving from BzrError and setting internal_error = True.
2309
(Robert Collins)
2310
2311
* New method ``bzrlib.mutabletree.update_to_one_parent_via_delta`` for
2312
moving the state of a parent tree to a new version via a delta rather than
2313
a complete replacement tree. (Robert Collins)
2314
2315
* New method ``bzrlib.osutils.minimum_path_selection`` useful for removing
2316
duplication from user input, when a user mentions both a path and an item
2317
contained within that path. (Robert Collins)
2318
2319
* New method ``bzrlib.repository.Repository.is_write_locked`` useful for
2320
determining if a repository is write locked. (Robert Collins)
2321
2322
* New method on ``bzrlib.tree.Tree`` ``path_content_summary`` provides a
2323
tuple containing the key information about a path for commit processing
2324
to complete. (Robert Collins)
2325
2326
* New method on xml serialisers, write_inventory_to_lines, which matches the
2327
API used by knits for adding content. (Robert Collins)
2328
2329
* New module ``bzrlib.bisect_multi`` with generic multiple-bisection-at-once
2330
logic, currently only available for byte-based lookup
2331
(``bisect_multi_bytes``). (Robert Collins)
2332
2333
* New helper ``bzrlib.tuned_gzip.bytes_to_gzip`` which takes a byte string
2334
and returns a gzipped version of the same. This is used to avoid a bunch
2335
of api friction during adding of knit hunks. (Robert Collins)
2336
2337
* New parameter on ``bzrlib.transport.Transport.readv``
2338
``adjust_for_latency`` which changes readv from returning strictly the
2339
requested data to inserted return larger ranges and in forward read order
2340
to reduce the effect of network latency. (Robert Collins)
2341
2342
* New parameter yield_parents on ``Inventory.iter_entries_by_dir`` which
2343
causes the parents of a selected id to be returned recursively, so all the
2344
paths from the root down to each element of selected_file_ids are
2345
returned. (Robert Collins)
2346
2347
* Knit joining has been enhanced to support plain to annotated conversion
2348
and annotated to plain conversion. (Ian Clatworthy)
2349
2350
* The CommitBuilder method ``record_entry_contents`` now returns summary
2351
information about the effect of the commit on the repository. This tuple
2352
contains an inventory delta item if the entry changed from the basis, and a
2353
boolean indicating whether a new file graph node was recorded.
2354
(Robert Collins)
2355
2356
* The python path used in the Makefile can now be overridden.
2357
(Andrew Bennetts, Ian Clatworthy)
2358
2359
TESTING:
2360
2361
* New transport implementation ``trace+`` which is useful for testing,
2362
logging activity taken to its _activity attribute. (Robert Collins)
2363
2364
* When running bzr commands within the test suite, internal exceptions are
2365
not caught and reported in the usual way, but rather allowed to propagate
2366
up and be visible to the test suite. A new API ``run_bzr_catch_user_errors``
2367
makes this behavior available to other users.
2368
(Martin Pool)
2369
2370
* New method ``TestCase.call_catch_warnings`` for testing methods that
2371
raises a Python warning. (Martin Pool)

2375
-------------------
2376
2377
BUG FIXES:
2378
2379
* Print a warning instead of aborting the ``python setup.py install``
2380
process if building of a C extension is not possible.
2381
(Lukáš Lalinský, Alexander Belchenko)
2382
2383
* Fix commit ordering in corner case (Aaron Bentley, #94975)
2384
2385
* Fix ''bzr info bzr://host/'' and other operations on ''bzr://' URLs with
2386
an implicit port. We were incorrectly raising PathNotChild due to
2387
inconsistent treatment of the ''_port'' attribute on the Transport object.
2388
(Andrew Bennetts, #133965)
2389
2390
* Make RemoteRepository.sprout cope gracefully with servers that don't
2391
support the ``Repository.tarball`` request.
2392
(Andrew Bennetts)

2394
2395
bzr 0.91rc2 2007-09-11
2396
----------------------
2397
2398
* Replaced incorrect tarball for previous release; a debug statement was left
2399
in bzrlib/remote.py.

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

bzr 0.90 2007-08-28
2724
-------------------
2725
2726
IMPROVEMENTS:
2727
2728
* Documentation is now organized into multiple directories with a level
2729
added for different languages or locales. Added the Mini Tutorial
2730
and Quick Start Summary (en) documents from the Wiki, improving the
2731
content and readability of the former. Formatted NEWS as Release Notes
2732
complete with a Table of Conents, one heading per release. Moved the
2733
Developer Guide into the main document catalog and provided a link
2734
from the developer document catalog back to the main one.
2735
(Ian Clatworthy, Sabin Iacob, Alexander Belchenko)
2736
2737
2738
API CHANGES:
2739
2740
* The static convenience method ``BzrDir.create_repository``
2741
is deprecated. Callers should instead create a ``BzrDir`` instance
2742
and call ``create_repository`` on that. (Martin Pool)
2743

2745
bzr 0.90rc1 2007-08-14
2746
----------------------
2747
2748
BUGFIXES:
2749
2750
* ``bzr init`` should connect to the remote location one time only. We
2751
have been connecting several times because we forget to pass around the
2752
Transport object. This modifies ``BzrDir.create_branch_convenience``,
2753
so that we can give it the Transport we already have.
2754
(John Arbash Meinel, Vincent Ladeuil, #111702)
2755
2756
* Get rid of sftp connection cache (get rid of the FTP one too).
2757
(Vincent Ladeuil, #43731)
2758
2759
* bzr branch {local|remote} remote don't try to create a working tree
2760
anymore.
2761
(Vincent Ladeuil, #112173)
2762
2763
* All identified multiple connections for a single bzr command have been
2764
fixed. See bzrlib/tests/commands directory.
2765
(Vincent Ladeuil)
2766
2767
* ``bzr rm`` now does not insist on ``--force`` to delete files that
2768
have been renamed but not otherwise modified. (Marius Kruger,
2769
#111664)
2770
2771
* ``bzr selftest --bench`` no longer emits deprecation warnings
2772
(Lukáš Lalinský)
2773
2774
* ``bzr status`` now honours FILE parameters for conflict lists
2775
(Aaron Bentley, #127606)
2776
2777
* ``bzr checkout`` now honours -r when reconstituting a working tree.
2778
It also honours -r 0. (Aaron Bentley, #127708)
2779
2780
* ``bzr add *`` no more fails on Windows if working tree contains
2781
non-ascii file names. (Kuno Meyer, #127361)
2782
2783
* allow ``easy_install bzr`` runs without fatal errors.
2784
(Alexander Belchenko, #125521)
2785
2786
* Graph._filter_candidate_lca does not raise KeyError if a candidate
2787
is eliminated just before it would normally be examined. (Aaron Bentley)
2788
2789
* SMTP connection failures produce a nice message, not a traceback.
2790
(Aaron Bentley)
2791
2792
IMPROVEMENTS:
2793
2794
* Don't show "dots" progress indicators when run non-interactively, such
2795
as from cron. (Martin Pool)
2796
2797
* ``info`` now formats locations more nicely and lists "submit" and
2798
"public" branches (Aaron Bentley)
2799
2800
* New ``pack`` command that will trigger database compression within
2801
the repository (Robert Collins)
2802
2803
* Implement ``_KnitIndex._load_data`` in a pyrex extension. The pyrex
2804
version is approximately 2-3x faster at parsing a ``.kndx`` file.
2805
Which yields a measurable improvement for commands which have to
2806
read from the repository, such as a 1s => 0.75s improvement in
2807
``bzr diff`` when there are changes to be shown. (John Arbash Meinel)
2808
2809
* Merge is now faster. Depending on the scenario, it can be more than 2x
2810
faster. (Aaron Bentley)
2811
2812
* Give a clearer warning, and allow ``python setup.py install`` to
2813
succeed even if pyrex is not available.
2814
(John Arbash Meinel)
2815
2816
* ``DirState._read_dirblocks`` now has an optional Pyrex
2817
implementation. This improves the speed of any command that has to
2818
read the entire DirState. (``diff``, ``status``, etc, improve by
2819
about 10%).
2820
``bisect_dirblocks`` has also been improved, which helps all
2821
``_get_entry`` type calls (whenever we are searching for a
2822
particular entry in the in-memory DirState).
2823
(John Arbash Meinel)
2824
2825
* ``bzr pull`` and ``bzr push`` no longer do a complete walk of the
2826
branch revision history for ui display unless -v is supplied.
2827
(Robert Collins)
2828
2829
* ``bzr log -rA..B`` output shifted to the left margin if the log only
2830
contains merge revisions. (Kent Gibson)
2831
2832
* The ``plugins`` command is now public with improved help.
2833
(Ian Clatworthy)
2834
2835
* New bundle and merge directive formats are faster to generate, and
2836
2837
* Annotate merge now works when there are local changes. (Aaron Bentley)
2838
2839
* Commit now only shows the progress in terms of directories instead of
2840
entries. (Ian Clatworthy)
2841
2842
* Fix ``KnitRepository.get_revision_graph`` to not request the graph 2
2843
times. This makes ``get_revision_graph`` 2x faster. (John Arbash
2844
Meinel)
2845
2846
* Fix ``VersionedFile.get_graph()`` to avoid using
2847
``set.difference_update(other)``, which has bad scaling when
2848
``other`` is large. This improves ``VF.get_graph([version_id])`` for
2849
a 12.5k graph from 2.9s down to 200ms. (John Arbash Meinel)
2850
2851
* The ``--lsprof-file`` option now generates output for KCacheGrind if
2852
the file starts with ``callgrind.out``. This matches the default file
2853
filtering done by KCacheGrind's Open Dialog. (Ian Clatworthy)
2854
2855
* Fix ``bzr update`` to avoid an unnecessary
2856
``branch.get_master_branch`` call, which avoids 1 extra connection
2857
to the remote server. (Partial fix for #128076, John Arbash Meinel)
2858
2859
* Log errors from the smart server in the trace file, to make debugging
2860
test failures (and live failures!) easier. (Andrew Bennetts)
2861
2862
* The HTML version of the man page has been superceded by a more
2863
comprehensive manual called the Bazaar User Reference. This manual
2864
is completed generated from the online help topics. As part of this
2865
change, limited reStructuredText is now explicitly supported in help
2866
topics and command help with 'unnatural' markup being removed prior
2867
to display by the online help or inclusion in the man page.
2868
(Ian Clatworthy)
2869
2870
* HTML documentation now use files extension ``*.html``
2871
(Alexander Belchenko)
2872
2873
* The cache of ignore definitions is now cleared in WorkingTree.unlock()
2874
so that changes to .bzrignore aren't missed. (#129694, Daniel Watkins)
2875
2876
* ``bzr selftest --strict`` fails if there are any missing features or
2877
expected test failures. (Daniel Watkins, #111914)
2878
2879
* Link to registration survey added to README. (Ian Clatworthy)
2880
2881
* Windows standalone installer show link to registration survey
2882
when installation finished. (Alexander Belchenko)
2883
2884
LIBRARY API BREAKS:
2885
2886
* Deprecated dictionary ``bzrlib.option.SHORT_OPTIONS`` removed.
2887
Options are now required to provide a help string and it must
2888
comply with the style guide by being one or more sentences with an
2889
initial capital and final period. (Martin Pool)
2890
2891
* KnitIndex.get_parents now returns tuples. (Robert Collins)
2892
2893
* Ancient unused ``Repository.text_store`` attribute has been removed.
2894
(Robert Collins)
2895
2896
* The ``bzrlib.pack`` interface has changed to use tuples of bytestrings
2897
rather than just bytestrings, making it easier to represent multiple
2898
element names. As this interface was not used by any internal facilities
2899
since it was introduced in 0.18 no API compatibility is being preserved.
2900
The serialised form of these packs is identical with 0.18 when a single
2901
element tuple is in use. (Robert Collins)
2902
2903
INTERNALS:
2904
2905
* merge now uses ``iter_changes`` to calculate changes, which makes room for
2906
future performance increases. It is also more consistent with other
2907
operations that perform comparisons, and reduces reliance on
2908
Tree.inventory. (Aaron Bentley)
2909
2910
* Refactoring of transport classes connected to a remote server.
2911
ConnectedTransport is a new class that serves as a basis for all
2912
transports needing to connect to a remote server. transport.split_url
2913
have been deprecated, use the static method on the object instead. URL
2914
tests have been refactored too.
2915
(Vincent Ladeuil)
2916
2917
* Better connection sharing for ConnectedTransport objects.
2918
transport.get_transport() now accepts a 'possible_transports' parameter.
2919
If a newly requested transport can share a connection with one of the
2920
list, it will.
2921
(Vincent Ladeuil)
2922
2923
* Most functions now accept ``bzrlib.revision.NULL_REVISION`` to indicate
2924
the null revision, and consider using ``None`` for this purpose
2925
deprecated. (Aaron Bentley)
2926
2927
* New ``index`` module with abstract index functionality. This will be
2928
used during the planned changes in the repository layer. Currently the
2929
index layer provides a graph aware immutable index, a builder for the
2930
same index type to allow creating them, and finally a composer for
2931
such indices to allow the use of many indices in a single query. The
2932
index performance is not optimised, however the API is stable to allow
2933
development on top of the index. (Robert Collins)
2934
2935
* ``bzrlib.dirstate.cmp_by_dirs`` can be used to compare two paths by
2936
their directory sections. This is equivalent to comparing
2937
``path.split('/')``, only without having to split the paths.
2938
This has a Pyrex implementation available.
2939
(John Arbash Meinel)
2940
2941
* New transport decorator 'unlistable+' which disables the list_dir
2942
functionality for testing.
2943
2944
* Deprecated ``change_entry`` in transform.py. (Ian Clatworthy)
2945
2946
* RevisionTree.get_weave is now deprecated. Tree.plan_merge is now used
2947
for performing annotate-merge. (Aaron Bentley)
2948
2949
* New EmailMessage class to create email messages. (Adeodato Simó)
2950
2951
* Unused functions on the private interface KnitIndex have been removed.
2952
(Robert Collins)
2953
2954
* New ``knit.KnitGraphIndex`` which provides a ``KnitIndex`` layered on top
2955
of a ``index.GraphIndex``. (Robert Collins)
2956
2957
* New ``knit.KnitVersionedFile.iter_parents`` method that allows querying
2958
the parents of many knit nodes at once, reducing round trips to the
2959
underlying index. (Robert Collins)
2960
2961
* Graph now has an is_ancestor method, various bits use it.
2962
(Aaron Bentley)
2963
2964
* The ``-Dhpss`` flag now includes timing information. As well as
2965
logging when a new connection is opened. (John Arbash Meinel)
2966
2967
* ``bzrlib.pack.ContainerWriter`` now returns an offset, length tuple to
2968
callers when inserting data, allowing generation of readv style access
2969
during pack creation, without needing a separate pass across the output
2970
pack to gather such details. (Robert Collins)
2971
2972
* ``bzrlib.pack.make_readv_reader`` allows readv based access to pack
2973
files that are stored on a transport. (Robert Collins)
2974
2975
* New ``Repository.has_same_location`` method that reports if two
2976
repository objects refer to the same repository (although with some risk
2977
of false negatives). (Andrew Bennetts)
2978
2979
* InterTree.compare now passes require_versioned on correctly.
2980
(Marius Kruger)
2981
2982
* New methods on Repository - ``start_write_group``,
2983
``commit_write_group``, ``abort_write_group`` and ``is_in_write_group`` -
2984
which provide a clean hook point for transactional Repositories - ones
2985
where all the data for a fetch or commit needs to be made atomically
2986
available in one step. This allows the write lock to remain while making
2987
a series of data insertions. (e.g. data conversion). (Robert Collins)
2988
2989
* In ``bzrlib.knit`` the internal interface has been altered to use
2990
3-tuples (index, pos, length) rather than two-tuples (pos, length) to
2991
describe where data in a knit is, allowing knits to be split into
2992
many files. (Robert Collins)
2993
2994
* ``bzrlib.knit._KnitData`` split into cache management and physical access
2995
with two access classes - ``_PackAccess`` and ``_KnitAccess`` defined.
2996
The former provides access into a .pack file, and the latter provides the
2997
current production repository form of .knit files. (Robert Collins)
2998
2999
TESTING:
3000
3001
* Remove selftest ``--clean-output``, ``--numbered-dirs`` and
3002
``--keep-output`` options, which are obsolete now that tests
3003
are done within directories in $TMPDIR. (Martin Pool)
3004
3005
* The SSH_AUTH_SOCK environment variable is now reset to avoid
3006
interaction with any running ssh agents. (Jelmer Vernooij, #125955)
3007
3008
* run_bzr_subprocess handles parameters the same way as run_bzr:
3009
either a string or a list of strings should be passed as the first
3010
parameter. Varargs-style parameters are deprecated. (Aaron Bentley)

BUGFIXES:
3025
3026
* Do not suppress pipe errors, etc. in non-display commands
3027
(Alexander Belchenko, #87178)
3028
3029
* Display a useful error message when the user requests to annotate
3030
a file that is not present in the specified revision.
3031
(James Westby, #122656)
3032
3033
* Commands that use status flags now have a reference to 'help
3034
status-flags'. (Daniel Watkins, #113436)
3035
3036
* Work around python-2.4.1 inhability to correctly parse the
3037
authentication header.
3038
(Vincent Ladeuil, #121889)
3039
3040
* Use exact encoding for merge directives. (Adeodato Simó, #120591)
3041
3042
* Fix tempfile permissions error in smart server tar bundling under
3043
Windows. (Martin _, #119330)
3044
3045
* Fix detection of directory entries in the inventory. (James Westby)
3046
3047
* Fix handling of http code 400: Bad Request When issuing too many ranges.
3048
(Vincent Ladeuil, #115209)
3049
3050
* Issue a CONNECT request when connecting to an https server
3051
via a proxy to enable SSL tunneling.
3052
(Vincent Ladeuil, #120678)
3053
3054
* Fix ``bzr log -r`` to support selecting merge revisions, both
3055
individually and as part of revision ranges.
3056
(Kent Gibson, #4663)
3057
3058
* Don't leave cruft behind when failing to acquire a lockdir.
3059
(Martin Pool, #109169)
3060
3061
* Don't use the '-f' strace option during tests.
3062
(Vincent Ladeuil, #102019).
3063
3064
* Warn when setting ``push_location`` to a value that will be masked by
3065
locations.conf. (Aaron Bentley, #122286)
3066
3067
* Fix commit ordering in corner case (Aaron Bentley, #94975)
3068
3069
* Make annotate behave in a non-ASCII world (Adeodato Simó).
3070
3071
IMPROVEMENTS:
3072
3073
* The --lsprof-file option now dumps a text rendering of the profiling
3074
information if the filename ends in ".txt". It will also convert the
3075
profiling information to a format suitable for KCacheGrind if the
3076
output filename ends in ".callgrind". Fixes to the lsprofcalltree
3077
conversion process by Jean Paul Calderone and Itamar were also merged.
3078
See http://ddaa.net/blog/python/lsprof-calltree. (Ian Clatworthy)
3079
3080
* ``info`` now defaults to non-verbose mode, displaying only paths and
3081
abbreviated format info. ``info -v`` displays all the information
3082
formerly displayed by ``info``. (Aaron Bentley, Adeodato Simó)
3083
3084
* ``bzr missing`` now has better option names ``--this`` and ``--other``.
3085
(Elliot Murphy)
3086
3087
* The internal ``weave-list`` command has become ``versionedfile-list``,
3088
and now lists knits as well as weaves. (Aaron Bentley)
3089
3090
* Automatic merge base selection uses a faster algorithm that chooses
3091
better bases in criss-cross merge situations (Aaron Bentley)
3092
3093
* Progress reporting in ``commit`` has been improved. The various logical
3094
stages are now reported on as follows, namely:
3095
3096
* Collecting changes [Entry x/y] - Stage n/m
3097
* Saving data locally - Stage n/m
3098
* Uploading data to master branch - Stage n/m
3099
* Updating the working tree - Stage n/m
3100
* Running post commit hooks - Stage n/m
3101
3102
If there is no master branch, the 3rd stage is omitted and the total
3103
number of stages is adjusted accordingly.
3104
3105
Each hook that is run after commit is listed with a name (as hooks
3106
can be slow it is useful feedback).
3107
(Ian Clatworthy, Robert Collins)
3108
3109
* Various operations that are now faster due to avoiding unnecessary
3110
topological sorts. (Aaron Bentley)
3111
3112
* Make merge directives robust against broken bundles. (Aaron Bentley)
3113
3114
* The lsprof filename note is emitted via trace.note(), not standard
3115
output. (Aaron Bentley)
3116
3117
* ``bzrlib`` now exports explicit API compatibility information to assist
3118
library users and plugins. See the ``bzrlib.api`` module for details.
3119
(Robert Collins)
3120
3121
* Remove unnecessary lock probes when acquiring a lockdir.
3122
(Martin Pool)
3123
3124
* ``bzr --version`` now shows the location of the bzr log file, which
3125
is especially useful on Windows. (Martin Pool)
3126
3127
* -D now supports hooks to get debug tracing of hooks (though its currently
3128
minimal in nature). (Robert Collins)
3129
3130
* Long log format reports deltas on merge revisions.
3131
(John Arbash Meinel, Kent Gibson)
3132
3133
* Make initial push over ftp more resilient. (John Arbash Meinel)
3134
3135
* Print a summary of changes for update just like pull does.
3136
(Daniel Watkins, #113990)
3137
3138
* Add a -Dhpss option to trace smart protocol requests and responses.
3139
(Andrew Bennetts)
3140
3141
LIBRARY API BREAKS:
3142
3143
* Testing cleanups -
3144
``bzrlib.repository.RepositoryTestProviderAdapter`` has been moved
3145
to ``bzrlib.tests.repository_implementations``;
3146
``bzrlib.repository.InterRepositoryTestProviderAdapter`` has been moved
3147
to ``bzrlib.tests.interrepository_implementations``;
3148
``bzrlib.transport.TransportTestProviderAdapter`` has moved to
3149
``bzrlib.tests.test_transport_implementations``.
3150
``bzrlib.branch.BranchTestProviderAdapter`` has moved to
3151
``bzrlib.tests.branch_implementations``.
3152
``bzrlib.bzrdir.BzrDirTestProviderAdapter`` has moved to
3153
``bzrlib.tests.bzrdir_implementations``.
3154
``bzrlib.versionedfile.InterVersionedFileTestProviderAdapter`` has moved
3155
to ``bzrlib.tests.interversionedfile_implementations``.
3156
``bzrlib.store.revision.RevisionStoreTestProviderAdapter`` has moved to
3157
``bzrlib.tests.revisionstore_implementations``.
3158
``bzrlib.workingtree.WorkingTreeTestProviderAdapter`` has moved to
3159
``bzrlib.tests.workingtree_implementations``.
3160
These changes are an API break in the testing infrastructure only.
3161
(Robert Collins)
3162
3163
* Relocate TestCaseWithRepository to be more central. (Robert Collins)
3164
3165
* ``bzrlib.add.smart_add_tree`` will no longer perform glob expansion on
3166
win32. Callers of the function should do this and use the new
3167
``MutableTree.smart_add`` method instead. (Robert Collins)
3168
3169
* ``bzrlib.add.glob_expand_for_win32`` is now
3170
``bzrlib.win32utils.glob_expand``. (Robert Collins)
3171
3172
* ``bzrlib.add.FastPath`` is now private and moved to
3173
``bzrlib.mutabletree._FastPath``. (Robert Collins, Martin Pool)
3174
3175
* ``LockDir.wait`` removed. (Martin Pool)
3176
3177
* The ``SmartServer`` hooks API has changed for the ``server_started`` and
3178
``server_stopped`` hooks. The first parameter is now an iterable of
3179
backing URLs rather than a single URL. This is to reflect that many
3180
URLs may map to the external URL of the server. E.g. the server interally
3181
may have a chrooted URL but also the local file:// URL will be at the
3182
same location. (Robert Collins)
3183
3184
INTERNALS:
3185
3186
* New SMTPConnection class to unify email handling. (Adeodato Simó)
3187
3188
* Fix documentation of BzrError. (Adeodato Simó)
3189
3190
* Make BzrBadParameter an internal error. (Adeodato Simó)
3191
3192
* Remove use of 'assert False' to raise an exception unconditionally.
3193
(Martin Pool)
3194
3195
* Give a cleaner error when failing to decode knit index entry.
3196
(Martin Pool)
3197
3198
* TreeConfig would mistakenly search the top level when asked for options
3199
from a section. It now respects the section argument and only
3200
searches the specified section. (James Westby)
3201
3202
* Improve ``make api-docs`` output. (John Arbash Meinel)
3203
3204
* Use os.lstat rather than os.stat for osutils.make_readonly and
3205
osutils.make_writeable. This makes the difftools plugin more
3206
robust when dangling symlinks are found. (Elliot Murphy)
3207
3208
* New ``-Dlock`` option to log (to ~/.bzr.log) information on when
3209
lockdirs are taken or released. (Martin Pool)
3210
3211
* ``bzrlib`` Hooks are now nameable using ``Hooks.name_hook``. This
3212
allows a nicer UI when hooks are running as the current hook can
3213
be displayed. (Robert Collins)
3214
3215
* ``Transport.get`` has had its interface made more clear for ease of use.
3216
Retrieval of a directory must now fail with either 'PathError' at open
3217
time, or raise 'ReadError' on a read. (Robert Collins)
3218
3219
* New method ``_maybe_expand_globs`` on the ``Command`` class for
3220
dealing with unexpanded glob lists - e.g. on the win32 platform. This
3221
was moved from ``bzrlib.add._prepare_file_list``. (Robert Collins)
3222
3223
* ``bzrlib.add.smart_add`` and ``bzrlib.add.smart_add_tree`` are now
3224
deprecated in favour of ``MutableTree.smart_add``. (Robert Collins,
3225
Martin Pool)
3226
3227
* New method ``external_url`` on Transport for obtaining the url to
3228
hand to external processes. (Robert Collins)
3229
3230
* Teach windows installers to build pyrex/C extensions.
3231
(Alexander Belchenko)
3232
3233
TESTING:
3234
3235
* Removed the ``--keep-output`` option from selftest and clean up test
3236
directories as they're used. This reduces the IO load from
3237
running the test suite and cuts the time by about half.
3238
(Andrew Bennetts, Martin Pool)
3239
3240
* Add scenarios as a public attribute on the TestAdapter classes to allow
3241
modification of the generated scenarios before adaption and easier
3242
testing. (Robert Collins)
3243
3244
* New testing support class ``TestScenarioApplier`` which multiplies
3245
out a single teste by a list of supplied scenarios. (RobertCollins)
3246
3247
* Setting ``repository_to_test_repository`` on a repository_implementations
3248
test will cause it to be called during repository creation, allowing the
3249
testing of repository classes which are not based around the Format
3250
concept. For example a repository adapter can be tested in this manner,
3251
by altering the repository scenarios to include a scenario that sets this
3252
attribute during the test parameterisation in
3253
``bzrlib.tests.repository.repository_implementations``. (Robert Collins)
3254
3255
* Clean up many of the APIs for blackbox testing of Bazaar. The standard
3256
interface is now self.run_bzr. The command to run can be passed as
3257
either a list of parameters, a string containing the command line, or
3258
(deprecated) varargs parameters. (Martin Pool)
3259
3260
* The base TestCase now isolates tests from -D parameters by clearing
3261
``debug.debug_flags`` and restores it afterwards. (Robert Collins)
3262
3263
* Add a relpath parameter to get_transport methods in test framework to
3264
avoid useless cloning.

3283
NOTES WHEN UPGRADING:
3284
3285
* The kind() and is_executable() APIs on the WorkingTree interface no
3286
longer implicitly (read) locks and unlocks the tree. This *might*
3287
impact some plug-ins and tools using this part of the API. If you find
3288
an issue that may be caused by this change, please let us know,
3289
particularly the plug-in/tool maintainer. If encountered, the API
3290
fix is to surround kind() and is_executable() calls with lock_read()
3291
and unlock() like so::
3292
3293
work_tree.lock_read()
3294
try:
3295
kind = work_tree.kind(...)
3296
finally:
3297
work_tree.unlock()
3298
3299
INTERNALS:
3300
* Rework of LogFormatter API to provide beginning/end of log hooks and to
3301
encapsulate the details of the revision to be logged in a LogRevision
3302
object.
3303
In long log formats, merge revision ids are only shown when --show-ids
3304
is specified, and are labelled "revision-id:", as per mainline
3305
revisions, instead of "merged:". (Kent Gibson)
3306
3307
* New ``BranchBuilder`` API which allows the construction of particular
3308
histories quickly. Useful for testing and potentially other applications
3309
too. (Robert Collins)
3310
3311
IMPROVEMENTS:
3312
3313
* There are two new help topics, working-trees and repositories that
3314
attempt to explain these concepts. (James Westby, John Arbash Meinel,
3315
Aaron Bentley)
3316
3317
* Added ``bzr log --limit`` to report a limited number of revisions.
3318
(Kent Gibson, #3659)
3319
3320
* Revert does not try to preserve file contents that were originally
3321
produced by reverting to a historical revision. (Aaron Bentley)
3322
3323
* ``bzr log --short`` now includes ``[merge]`` for revisions which
3324
have more than one parent. This is a small improvement to help
3325
understanding what changes have occurred
3326
(John Arbash Meinel, #83887)
3327
3328
* TreeTransform avoids many renames when contructing large trees,
3329
improving speed. 3.25x speedups have been observed for construction of
3330
kernel-sized-trees, and checkouts are 1.28x faster. (Aaron Bentley)
3331
3332
* Commit on large trees is now faster. In my environment, a commit of
3333
a small change to the Mozilla tree (55k files) has dropped from
3334
66 seconds to 32 seconds. For a small tree of 600 files, commit of a
3335
small change is 33% faster. (Ian Clatworthy)
3336
3337
* New --create-prefix option to bzr init, like for push. (Daniel Watkins,
3338
#56322)
3339
3340
BUGFIXES:
3341
3342
* ``bzr push`` should only connect to the remote location one time.
3343
We have been connecting 3 times because we forget to pass around
3344
the Transport object. This adds ``BzrDir.clone_on_transport()``, so
3345
that we can pass in the Transport that we already have.
3346
(John Arbash Meinel, #75721)
3347
3348
* ``DirState.set_state_from_inventory()`` needs to properly order
3349
based on split paths, not just string paths.
3350
(John Arbash Meinel, #115947)
3351
3352
* Let TestUIFactoy encode the password prompt with its own stdout.
3353
(Vincent Ladeuil, #110204)
3354
3355
* pycurl should take use the range header that takes the range hint
3356
into account.
3357
(Vincent Ladeuil, #112719)
3358
3359
* WorkingTree4.get_file_sha1 no longer raises an exception when invoked
3360
on a missing file. (Aaron Bentley, #118186)
3361
3362
* WorkingTree.remove works correctly with tree references, and when pwd is
3363
not the tree root. (Aaron Bentley)
3364
3365
* Merge no longer fails when a file is renamed in one tree and deleted
3366
in the other. (Aaron Bentley, #110279)
3367
3368
* ``revision-info`` now accepts dotted revnos, doesn't require a tree,
3369
and defaults to the last revision (Matthew Fuller, #90048)
3370
3371
* Tests no longer fail when BZR_REMOTE_PATH is set in the environment.
3372
(Daniel Watkins, #111958)
3373
3374
* ``bzr branch -r revid:foo`` can be used to branch any revision in
3375
your repository. (Previously Branch6 only supported revisions in your
3376
mainline). (John Arbash Meinel, #115343)

3381
BUGFIXES:
3382
3383
* Handle when you have 2 directories with similar names, but one has a
3384
hyphen. (``'abc'`` versus ``'abc-2'``). The WT4._iter_changes
3385
iterator was using direct comparison and ``'abc/a'`` sorts after
3386
``'abc-2'``, but ``('abc', 'a')`` sorts before ``('abc-2',)``.
3387
(John Arbash Meinel, #111227)
3388
3389
* Handle when someone renames a file on disk without telling bzr.
3390
Previously we would report the first file as missing, but not show
3391
the new unknown file. (John Arbash Meinel, #111288)
3392
3393
* Avoid error when running hooks after pulling into or pushing from
3394
a branch bound to a smartserver branch. (Martin Pool, #111968)
3395
3396
IMPROVEMENTS:
3397
3398
* Move developer documentation to doc/developers/. This reduces clutter in
3399
the root of the source tree and allows HACKING to be split into multiple
3400
files. (Robert Collins, Alexander Belchenko)
3401
3402
* Clean up the ``WorkingTree4._iter_changes()`` internal loops as well as
3403
``DirState.update_entry()``. This optimizes the core logic for ``bzr
3404
diff`` and ``bzr status`` significantly improving the speed of
3405
both. (John Arbash Meinel)

3409
3410
BUGFIXES:
3411
3412
* Handle the case when you delete a file, and then rename another file
3413
on top of it. Also handle the case of ``bzr rm --keep foo``. ``bzr
3414
status`` should show the removed file and an unknown file in its
3415
place. (John Arbash Meinel, #109993)
3416
3417
* Bundles properly read and write revision properties that have an
3418
empty value. And when the value is not ASCII.
3419
(John Arbash Meinel, #109613)
3420
3421
* Fix the bzr commit message to be in text mode.
3422
(Alexander Belchenko, #110901)
3423
3424
* Also handle when you rename a file and create a file where it used
3425
to be. (John Arbash Meinel, #110256)
3426
3427
* ``WorkingTree4._iter_changes`` should not descend into unversioned
3428
directories. (John Arbash Meinel, #110399)

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

* Added ``bzrlib.strace.strace`` which will strace a single callable and
3698
return a StraceResult object which contains just the syscalls involved
3699
in running it. (Robert Collins)
3700
3701
* New test method ``reduceLockdirTimeout`` to drop the default (ui-centric)
3702
default time down to one suitable for tests. (Andrew Bennetts)
3703
3704
* Add new ``vfs_transport_factory`` attribute on tests which provides the
3705
common vfs backing for both the readonly and readwrite transports.
3706
This allows the RemoteObject tests to back onto local disk or memory,
3707
and use the existing ``transport_server`` attribute all tests know about
3708
to be the smart server transport. This in turn allows tests to
3709
differentiate between 'transport to access the branch', and
3710
'transport which is a VFS' - which matters in Remote* tests.
3711
(Robert Collins, Andrew Bennetts)
3712
3713
* The ``make_branch_and_tree`` method for tests will now create a
3714
lightweight checkout for the tree if the ``vfs_transport_factory`` is not
3715
a LocalURLServer. (Robert Collins, Andrew Bennetts)
3716
3717
* Branch implementation tests have been audited to ensure that all urls
3718
passed to Branch APIs use proper urls, except when local-disk paths
3719
are intended. This is so that tests correctly access the test transport
3720
which is often not equivalent to local disk in Remote* tests. As part
3721
of this many tests were adjusted to remove dependencies on local disk
3722
access.
3723
(Robert Collins, Andrew Bennetts)
3724
3725
* Mark bzrlib.tests and bzrlib.tests.TestUtil as providing assertFOO helper
3726
functions by adding a ``__unittest`` global attribute. (Robert Collins,
3727
Andrew Bennetts, Martin Pool, Jonathan Lange)
3728
3729
* Refactored proxy and authentication handling to simplify the
3730
implementation of new auth schemes for both http and proxy.

3748
CHANGES:
3749
3750
* A warning is now displayed when opening working trees in older
3751
formats, to encourage people to upgrade to WorkingTreeFormat4.
3752
(Martin Pool)
3753
3754
IMPROVEMENTS:
3755
3756
* HTTP redirections are now taken into account when a branch (or a
3757
bundle) is accessed for the first time. A message is issued at each
3758
redirection to inform the user. In the past, http redirections were
3759
silently followed for each request which significantly degraded the
3760
performances. The http redirections are not followed anymore by
3761
default, instead a RedirectRequested exception is raised. For bzrlib
3762
users needing to follow http redirections anyway,
3763
``bzrlib.transport.do_catching_redirections`` provide an easy transition
3764
path. (vila)
3765
3766
INTERNALS:
3767
3768
* Added ``ReadLock.temporary_write_lock()`` to allow upgrading an OS read
3769
lock to an OS write lock. Linux can do this without unlocking, Win32
3770
needs to unlock in between. (John Arbash Meinel)
3771
3772
* New parameter ``recommend_upgrade`` to ``BzrDir.open_workingtree``
3773
to silence (when false) warnings about opening old formats.
3774
(Martin Pool)
3775
3776
* Fix minor performance regression with bzr-0.15 on pre-dirstate
3777
trees. (We were reading the working inventory too many times).
3778
(John Arbash Meinel)
3779
3780
* Remove ``Branch.get_transaction()`` in favour of a simple cache of
3781
``revision_history``. Branch subclasses should override
3782
``_gen_revision_history`` rather than ``revision_history`` to make use of
3783
this cache, and call ``_clear_revision_history_cache`` and
3784
``_cache_revision_history`` at appropriate times. (Andrew Bennetts)
3785
3786
BUGFIXES:
3787
3788
* Take ``smtp_server`` from user config into account.
3789
(vila, #92195)
3790
3791
* Restore Unicode filename handling for versioned and unversioned files.
3792
(John Arbash Meinel, #92608)
3793
3794
* Don't fail during ``bzr commit`` if a file is marked removed, and
3795
the containing directory is auto-removed. (John Arbash Meinel, #93681)
3796
3797
* ``bzr status FILENAME`` failed on Windows because of an uncommon
3798
errno. (``ERROR_DIRECTORY == 267 != ENOTDIR``).
3799
(Wouter van Heyst, John Arbash Meinel, #90819)
3800
3801
* ``bzr checkout source`` should create a local branch in the same
3802
format as source. (John Arbash Meinel, #93854)
3803
3804
* ``bzr commit`` with a kind change was failing to update the
3805
last-changed-revision for directories. The
3806
InventoryDirectory._unchanged only looked at the ``parent_id`` and name,
3807
ignoring the fact that the kind could have changed, too.
3808
(John Arbash Meinel, #90111)
3809
3810
* ``bzr mv dir/subdir other`` was incorrectly updating files inside
3811
the directory. So that there was a chance it would break commit,
3812
etc. (John Arbash Meinel, #94037)
3813
3814
* Correctly handles mutiple permanent http redirections.

3818
-----------------------
3819
3820
NOTES WHEN UPGRADING:
3821
3822
* Release 0.15rc2 of bzr changes the ``bzr init-repo`` command to
3823
default to ``--trees`` instead of ``--no-trees``.
3824
Existing shared repositories are not affected.
3825
3826
IMPROVEMENTS:
3827
3828
* New ``merge-directive`` command to generate machine- and human-readable
3829
merge requests. (Aaron Bentley)
3830
3831
* New ``submit:`` revision specifier makes it easy to diff against the
3832
common ancestor with the submit location (Aaron Bentley)
3833
3834
* Added support for Putty's SSH implementation. (Dmitry Vasiliev)
3835
3836
* Added ``bzr status --versioned`` to report only versioned files,
3837
not unknowns. (Kent Gibson)
3838
3839
* Merge now autodetects the correct line-ending style for its conflict
3840
markers. (Aaron Bentley)
3841
3842
INTERNALS:
3843
3844
* Refactored SSH vendor registration into SSHVendorManager class.
3845
(Dmitry Vasiliev)
3846
3847
BUGFIXES:
3848
3849
* New ``--numbered-dirs`` option to ``bzr selftest`` to use
3850
numbered dirs for TestCaseInTempDir. This is default behavior
3851
on Windows. Anyone can force named dirs on Windows
3852
with ``--no-numbered-dirs``. (Alexander Belchenko)
3853
3854
* Fix ``RevisionSpec_revid`` to handle the Unicode strings passed in
3855
from the command line. (Marien Zwart, #90501)
3856
3857
* Fix ``TreeTransform._iter_changes`` when both the source and
3858
destination are missing. (Aaron Bentley, #88842)
3859
3860
* Fix commit of merges with symlinks in dirstate trees.
3861
(Marien Zwart)
3862
3863
* Switch the ``bzr init-repo`` default from --no-trees to --trees.

3867
bzr 0.15rc1 2007-03-07
3868
-----------------------
3869
3870
SURPRISES:
3871
3872
* The default disk format has changed. Please run 'bzr upgrade' in your
3873
working trees to upgrade. This new default is compatible for network
3874
operations, but not for local operations. That is, if you have two
3875
versions of bzr installed locally, after upgrading you can only use the
3876
bzr 0.15 version. This new default does not enable tags or nested-trees
3877
as they are incompatible with bzr versions before 0.15 over the network.
3878
3879
* For users of bzrlib: Two major changes have been made to the working tree
3880
api in bzrlib. The first is that many methods and attributes, including
3881
the inventory attribute, are no longer valid for use until one of
3882
``lock_read``/``lock_write``/``lock_tree_write`` has been called,
3883
and become invalid again after unlock is called. This has been done
3884
to improve performance and correctness as part of the dirstate
3885
development.
3886
(Robert Collins, John A Meinel, Martin Pool, and others).
3887
3888
* For users of bzrlib: The attribute 'tree.inventory' should be considered
3889
readonly. Previously it was possible to directly alter this attribute, or
3890
its contents, and have the tree notice this. This has been made
3891
unsupported - it may work in some tree formats, but in the newer dirstate
3892
format such actions will have no effect and will be ignored, or even
3893
cause assertions. All operations possible can still be carried out by a
3894
combination of the tree API, and the bzrlib.transform API. (Robert
3895
Collins, John A Meinel, Martin Pool, and others).
3896
3897
IMPROVEMENTS:
3898
3899
* Support for OS Windows 98. Also .bzr.log on any windows system
3900
saved in My Documents folder. (Alexander Belchenko)
3901
3902
* ``bzr mv`` enhanced to support already moved files.
3903
In the past the mv command would have failed if the source file doesn't
3904
exist. In this situation ``bzr mv`` would now detect that the file has
3905
already moved and update the repository accordingly, if the target file
3906
does exist.
3907
A new option ``--after`` has been added so that if two files already
3908
exist, you could notify Bazaar that you have moved a (versioned) file
3909
and replaced it with another. Thus in this case ``bzr move --after``
3910
will only update the Bazaar identifier.
3911
(Steffen Eichenberg, Marius Kruger)
3912
3913
* ``ls`` now works on treeless branches and remote branches.
3914
(Aaron Bentley)
3915
3916
* ``bzr help global-options`` describes the global options.
3917
(Aaron Bentley)
3918
3919
* ``bzr pull --overwrite`` will now correctly overwrite checkouts.
3920
(Robert Collins)
3921
3922
* Files are now allowed to change kind (e.g. from file to symlink).
3923
Supported by ``commit``, ``revert`` and ``status``
3924
(Aaron Bentley)
3925
3926
* ``inventory`` and ``unknowns`` hidden in favour of ``ls``
3927
(Aaron Bentley)
3928
3929
* ``bzr help checkouts`` descibes what checkouts are and some possible
3930
uses of them. (James Westby, Aaron Bentley)
3931
3932
* A new ``-d`` option to push, pull and merge overrides the default
3933
directory. (Martin Pool)
3934
3935
* Branch format 6: smaller, and potentially faster than format 5. Supports
3936
``append_history_only`` mode, where the log view and revnos do not change,
3937
except by being added to. Stores policy settings in
3938
".bzr/branch/branch.conf".
3939
3940
* ``append_only`` branches: Format 6 branches may be configured so that log
3941
view and revnos are always consistent. Either create the branch using
3942
"bzr init --append-revisions-only" or edit the config file as descriped
3943
in docs/configuration.txt.
3944
3945
* rebind: Format 6 branches retain the last-used bind location, so if you
3946
"bzr unbind", you can "bzr bind" to bind to the previously-selected
3947
bind location.
3948
3949
* Builtin tags support, created and deleted by the ``tag`` command and
3950
stored in the branch. Tags can be accessed with the revisionspec
3951
``-rtag:``, and listed with ``bzr tags``. Tags are not versioned
3952
at present. Tags require a network incompatible upgrade. To perform this
3953
upgrade, run ``bzr upgrade --dirstate-tags`` in your branch and
3954
repositories. (Martin Pool)
3955
3956
* The ``bzr://`` transport now has a well-known port number, 4155,
3957
which it will use by default. (Andrew Bennetts, Martin Pool)
3958
3959
* Bazaar now looks for user-installed plugins before looking for site-wide
3960
plugins. (Jonathan Lange)
3961
3962
* ``bzr resolve`` now detects and marks resolved text conflicts.
3963
(Aaron Bentley)
3964
3965
INTERNALS:
3966
3967
* Internally revision ids and file ids are now passed around as utf-8
3968
bytestrings, rather than treating them as Unicode strings. This has
3969
performance benefits for Knits, since we no longer need to decode the
3970
revision id for each line of content, nor for each entry in the index.
3971
This will also help with the future dirstate format.
3972
(John Arbash Meinel)
3973
3974
* Reserved ids (any revision-id ending in a colon) are rejected by
3975
versionedfiles, repositories, branches, and working trees
3976
(Aaron Bentley)
3977
3978
* Minor performance improvement by not creating a ProgressBar for
3979
every KnitIndex we create. (about 90ms for a bzr.dev tree)
3980
(John Arbash Meinel)
3981
3982
* New easier to use Branch hooks facility. There are five initial hooks,
3983
all documented in bzrlib.branch.BranchHooks.__init__ - ``'set_rh'``,
3984
``'post_push'``, ``'post_pull'``, ``'post_commit'``,
3985
``'post_uncommit'``. These hooks fire after the matching operation
3986
on a branch has taken place, and were originally added for the
3987
branchrss plugin. (Robert Collins)
3988
3989
* New method ``Branch.push()`` which should be used when pushing from a
3990
branch as it makes performance and policy decisions to match the UI
3991
level command ``push``. (Robert Collins).
3992
3993
* Add a new method ``Tree.revision_tree`` which allows access to cached
3994
trees for arbitrary revisions. This allows the in development dirstate
3995
tree format to provide access to the callers to cached copies of
3996
inventory data which are cheaper to access than inventories from the
3997
repository.
3998
(Robert Collins, Martin Pool)
3999
4000
* New ``Branch.last_revision_info`` method, this is being done to allow
4001
optimization of requests for both the number of revisions and the last
4002
revision of a branch with smartservers and potentially future branch
4003
formats. (Wouter van Heyst, Robert Collins)
4004
4005
* Allow ``'import bzrlib.plugins.NAME'`` to work when the plugin NAME has not
4006
yet been loaded by ``load_plugins()``. This allows plugins to depend on each
4007
other for code reuse without requiring users to perform file-renaming
4008
gymnastics. (Robert Collins)
4009
4010
* New Repository method ``'gather_stats'`` for statistic data collection.
4011
This is expected to grow to cover a number of related uses mainly
4012
related to bzr info. (Robert Collins)
4013
4014
* Log formatters are now managed with a registry.
4015
``log.register_formatter`` continues to work, but callers accessing
4016
the FORMATTERS dictionary directly will not.
4017
4018
* Allow a start message to be passed to the ``edit_commit_message``
4019
function. This will be placed in the message offered to the user
4020
for editing above the separator. It allows a template commit message
4021
to be used more easily. (James Westby)
4022
4023
* ``GPGStrategy.sign()`` will now raise ``BzrBadParameterUnicode`` if
4024
you pass a Unicode string rather than an 8-bit string. Callers need
4025
to be updated to encode first. (John Arbash Meinel)
4026
4027
* Branch.push, pull, merge now return Result objects with information
4028
about what happened, rather than a scattering of various methods. These
4029
are also passed to the post hooks. (Martin Pool)
4030
4031
* File formats and architecture is in place for managing a forest of trees
4032
in bzr, and splitting up existing trees into smaller subtrees, and
4033
finally joining trees to make a larger tree. This is the first iteration
4034
of this support, and the user-facing aspects still require substantial
4035
work. If you wish to experiment with it, use ``bzr upgrade
4036
--dirstate-with-subtree`` in your working trees and repositories.
4037
You can use the hidden commands ``split`` and ``join`` and to create
4038
and manipulate nested trees, but please consider using the nested-trees
4039
branch, which contains substantial UI improvements, instead.
4040
http://code.aaronbentley.com/bzr/bzrrepo/nested-trees/
4041
(Aaron Bentley, Martin Pool, Robert Collins).
4042
4043
BUGFIXES:
4044
4045
* ``bzr annotate`` now uses dotted revnos from the viewpoint of the
4046
branch, rather than the last changed revision of the file.
4047
(John Arbash Meinel, #82158)
4048
4049
* Lock operations no longer hang if they encounter a permission problem.
4050
(Aaron Bentley)
4051
4052
* ``bzr push`` can resume a push that was canceled before it finished.
4053
Also, it can push even if the target directory exists if you supply
4054
the ``--use-existing-dir`` flag.
4055
(John Arbash Meinel, #30576, #45504)
4056
4057
* Fix http proxy authentication when user and an optional
4058
password appears in the ``*_proxy`` vars. (Vincent Ladeuil,
4059
#83954).
4060
4061
* ``bzr log branch/file`` works for local treeless branches
4062
(Aaron Bentley, #84247)
4063
4064
* Fix problem with UNC paths on Windows 98. (Alexander Belchenko, #84728)
4065
4066
* Searching location of CA bundle for PyCurl in env variable
4067
(``CURL_CA_BUNDLE``), and on win32 along the PATH.
4068
(Alexander Belchenko, #82086)
4069
4070
* ``bzr init`` works with unicode argument LOCATION.
4071
(Alexander Belchenko, #85599)
4072
4073
* Raise ``DependencyNotPresent`` if pycurl do not support https.
4074
(Vincent Ladeuil, #85305)
4075
4076
* Invalid proxy env variables should not cause a traceback.
4077
(Vincent Ladeuil, #87765)
4078
4079
* Ignore patterns normalised to use '/' path separator.
4080
(Kent Gibson, #86451)
4081
4082
* bzr rocks. It sure does! Fix case. (Vincent Ladeuil, #78026)
4083
4084
* Fix bzrtools shelve command for removed lines beginning with "--"
4085
(Johan Dahlberg, #75577)
4086
4087
TESTING:
4088
4089
* New ``--first`` option to ``bzr selftest`` to run specified tests
4090
before the rest of the suite. (Martin Pool)

IMPROVEMENTS:

4098
* ``bzr help global-options`` describes the global options. (Aaron Bentley)
4099
4100
BUG FIXES:
4101
4102
* Skip documentation generation tests if the tools to do so are not
4103
available. Fixes running selftest for installled copies of bzr.
4104
(John Arbash Meinel, #80330)
4105
4106
* Fix the code that discovers whether bzr is being run from it's
4107
working tree to handle the case when it isn't but the directory
4108
it is in is below a repository. (James Westby, #77306)

bzr 0.14rc1 2007-01-16
4112
-----------------------
4113
4114
IMPROVEMENTS:
4115
4116
* New connection: ``bzr+http://`` which supports tunnelling the smart
4117
protocol over an HTTP connection. If writing is enabled on the bzr
4118
server, then you can write over the http connection.
4119
(Andrew Bennetts, John Arbash Meinel)
4120
4121
* Aliases now support quotation marks, so they can contain whitespace
4122
(Marius Kruger)
4123
4124
* PyCurlTransport now use a single curl object. By specifying explicitly
4125
the 'Range' header, we avoid the need to use two different curl objects
4126
(and two connections to the same server). (Vincent Ladeuil)
4127
4128
* ``bzr commit`` does not prompt for a message until it is very likely to
4129
succeed. (Aaron Bentley)
4130
4131
* ``bzr conflicts`` now takes --text to list pathnames of text conflicts
4132
(Aaron Bentley)
4133
4134
* Fix ``iter_lines_added_or_present_in_versions`` to use a set instead
4135
of a list while checking if a revision id was requested. Takes 10s
4136
off of the ``fileids_affected_by_revision_ids`` time, which is 10s
4137
of the ``bzr branch`` time. Also improve ``fileids_...`` time by
4138
filtering lines with a regex rather than multiple ``str.find()``
4139
calls. (saves another 300ms) (John Arbash Meinel)
4140
4141
* Policy can be set for each configuration key. This allows keys to be
4142
inherited properly across configuration entries. For example, this
4143
should enable you to do::
4144
4145
[/home/user/project]
4146
push_location = sftp://host/srv/project/
4147
push_location:policy = appendpath
4148
4149
And then a branch like ``/home/user/project/mybranch`` should get an
4150
automatic push location of ``sftp://host/srv/project/mybranch``.

* Added ``bzr status --short`` to make status report svn style flags
4154
for each file. For example::
4155
4156
$ bzr status --short
4157
A foo
4158
A bar
4159
D baz
4160

4161
4162
* 'bzr selftest --clean-output' allows easily clean temporary tests
4163
directories without running tests. (Alexander Belchenko)
4164
4165
* ``bzr help hidden-commands`` lists all hidden commands. (Aaron Bentley)
4166
4167
* ``bzr merge`` now has an option ``--pull`` to fall back to pull if
4168
local is fully merged into remote. (Jan Hudec)
4169
4170
* ``bzr help formats`` describes available directory formats. (Aaron Bentley)
4171
4172
INTERNALS:
4173
4174
* A few tweaks directly to ``fileids_affected_by_revision_ids`` to
4175
help speed up processing, as well allowing to extract unannotated
4176
lines. Between the two ``fileids_affected_by_revision_ids`` is
4177
improved by approx 10%. (John Arbash Meinel)
4178
4179
* Change Revision serialization to only write out millisecond
4180
resolution. Rather than expecting floating point serialization to
4181
preserve more resolution than we need. (Henri Weichers, Martin Pool)
4182
4183
* Test suite ends cleanly on Windows. (Vincent Ladeuil)
4184
4185
* When ``encoding_type`` attribute of class Command is equal to 'exact',
4186
force sys.stdout to be a binary stream on Windows, and therefore
4187
keep exact line-endings (without LF -> CRLF conversion).
4188
(Alexander Belchenko)
4189
4190
* Single-letter short options are no longer globally declared. (Martin
4191
Pool)
4192
4193
* Before using detected user/terminal encoding bzr should check
4194
that Python has corresponding codec. (Alexander Belchenko)
4195
4196
* Formats for end-user selection are provided via a FormatRegistry (Aaron Bentley)
4197
4198
BUG FIXES:
4199
4200
* ``bzr missing --verbose`` was showing adds/removals in the wrong
4201
direction. (John Arbash Meinel)
4202
4203
* ``bzr annotate`` now defaults to showing dotted revnos for merged
4204
revisions. It cuts them off at a depth of 12 characters, but you can
4205
supply ``--long`` to see the full number. You can also use
4206
``--show-ids`` to display the original revision ids, rather than
4207
revision numbers and committer names. (John Arbash Meinel, #75637)
4208
4209
* bzr now supports Win32 UNC path (e.g. ``\HOST\path``.
4210
(Alexander Belchenko, #57869)
4211
4212
* Win32-specific: output of cat, bundle and diff commands don't mangle
4213
line-endings (Alexander Belchenko, #55276)
4214
4215
* Replace broken fnmatch based ignore pattern matching with custom pattern
4216
matcher.
4217
(Kent Gibson, Jan Hudec #57637)
4218
4219
* pycurl and urllib can detect short reads at different places. Update
4220
the test suite to test more cases. Also detect http error code 416
4221
which was raised for that specific bug. Also enhance the urllib
4222
robustness by detecting invalid ranges (and pycurl's one by detecting
4223
short reads during the initial GET). (Vincent Ladeuil, #73948)
4224
4225
* The urllib connection sharing interacts badly with urllib2
4226
proxy setting (the connections didn't go thru the proxy
4227
anymore). Defining a proper ProxyHandler solves the
4228
problem. (Vincent Ladeuil, #74759)
4229
4230
* Use urlutils to generate relative URLs, not osutils
4231
(Aaron Bentley, #76229)
4232
4233
* ``bzr status`` in a readonly directory should work without giving
4234
lots of errors. (John Arbash Meinel, #76299)
4235
4236
* Mention the revisionspec topic for the revision option help.
4237
(Wouter van Heyst, #31663)
4238
4239
* Allow plugins import from zip archives.

4251
IMPROVEMENTS:
4252
4253
* New command ``bzr remove-tree`` allows the removal of the working
4254
tree from a branch.
4255
(Daniel Silverstone)
4256
4257
* urllib uses shared keep-alive connections, so http
4258
operations are substantially faster.
4259
(Vincent Ladeuil, #53654)
4260
4261
* ``bzr export`` allows an optional branch parameter, to export a bzr
4262
tree from some other url. For example:
4263
``bzr export bzr.tar.gz http://bazaar-vcs.org/bzr/bzr.dev``
4264
(Daniel Silverstone)
4265
4266
* Added ``bzr help topics`` to the bzr help system. This gives a
4267
location for general information, outside of a specific command.
4268
This includes updates for ``bzr help revisionspec`` the first topic
4269
included. (Goffredo Baroncelli, John Arbash Meinel, #42714)
4270
4271
* WSGI-compatible HTTP smart server. See ``doc/http_smart_server.txt``.
4272
(Andrew Bennetts)
4273
4274
* Knit files will now cache full texts only when the size of the
4275
deltas is as large as the size of the fulltext. (Or after 200
4276
deltas, whichever comes first). This has the most benefit on large
4277
files with small changes, such as the inventory for a large project.
4278
(eg For a project with 2500 files, and 7500 revisions, it changes
4279
the size of inventory.knit from 11MB to 5.4MB) (John Arbash Meinel)
4280
4281
INTERNALS:
4282
4283
* New -D option given before the command line turns on debugging output
4284
for particular areas. -Derror shows tracebacks on all errors.
4285
(Martin Pool)
4286
4287
* Clean up ``bzr selftest --benchmark bundle`` to correct an import,
4288
and remove benchmarks that take longer than 10min to run.
4289
(John Arbash Meinel)
4290
4291
* Use ``time.time()`` instead of ``time.clock()`` to decide on
4292
progress throttling. Because ``time.clock()`` is actually CPU time,
4293
so over a high-latency connection, too many updates get throttled.
4294
(John Arbash Meinel)
4295
4296
* ``MemoryTransport.list_dir()`` would strip the first character for
4297
files or directories in root directory. (John Arbash Meinel)
4298
4299
* New method ``get_branch_reference`` on 'BzrDir' allows the detection of
4300
branch references - which the smart server component needs.
4301
4302
* New ``ChrootTransportDecorator``, accessible via the ``chroot+`` url
4303
prefix. It disallows any access to locations above a set URL. (Andrew
4304
Bennetts)
4305
4306
BUG FIXES:
4307
4308
* Now ``_KnitIndex`` properly decode revision ids when loading index data.
4309
And optimize the knit index parsing code.
4310
(Dmitry Vasiliev, John Arbash Meinel)
4311
4312
* ``bzrlib/bzrdir.py`` was directly referencing ``bzrlib.workingtree``,
4313
without importing it. This prevented ``bzr upgrade`` from working
4314
unless a plugin already imported ``bzrlib.workingtree``
4315
(John Arbash Meinel, #70716)
4316
4317
* Suppress the traceback on invalid URLs (Vincent Ladeuil, #70803).
4318
4319
* Give nicer error message when an http server returns a 403
4320
error code. (Vincent Ladeuil, #57644).
4321
4322
* When a multi-range http GET request fails, try a single
4323
range one. If it fails too, forget about ranges. Remember that until
4324
the death of the transport and propagates that to the clones.
4325
(Vincent Ladeuil, #62276, #62029).
4326
4327
* Handles user/passwords supplied in url from command
4328
line (for the urllib implementation). Don't request already
4329
known passwords (Vincent Ladeuil, #42383, #44647, #48527)
4330
4331
* ``_KnitIndex.add_versions()`` dictionary compresses revision ids as they
4332
are added. This fixes bug where fetching remote revisions records
4333
them as full references rather than integers.
4334
(John Arbash Meinel, #64789)
4335
4336
* ``bzr ignore`` strips trailing slashes in patterns.
4337
Also ``bzr ignore`` rejects absolute paths. (Kent Gibson, #4559)
4338
4339
* ``bzr ignore`` takes multiple arguments. (Cheuksan Edward Wang, #29488)
4340
4341
* mv correctly handles paths that traverse symlinks.
4342
(Aaron Bentley, #66964)
4343
4344
* Give nicer looking error messages when failing to connect over ssh.
4345
(John Arbash Meinel, #49172)
4346
4347
* Pushing to a remote branch does not currently update the remote working
4348
tree. After a remote push, ``bzr status`` and ``bzr diff`` on the remote
4349
machine now show that the working tree is out of date.
4350
(Cheuksan Edward Wang #48136)
4351
4352
* Use patiencediff instead of difflib for determining deltas to insert
4353
into knits. This avoids the O(N^3) behavior of difflib. Patience
4354
diff should be O(N^2). (Cheuksan Edward Wang, #65714)
4355
4356
* Running ``bzr log`` on nonexistent file gives an error instead of the
4357
entire log history. (Cheuksan Edward Wang #50793)
4358
4359
* ``bzr cat`` can look up contents of removed or renamed files. If the
4360
pathname is ambiguous, i.e. the files in the old and new trees have
4361
different id's, the default is the file in the new tree. The user can
4362
use "--name-from-revision" to select the file in the old tree.
4363
(Cheuksan Edward Wang, #30190)
4364
4365
TESTING:
4366
4367
* TestingHTTPRequestHandler really handles the Range header
4368
(previously it was ignoring it and returning the whole file,).

4371
--------------------
4372
4373
INTERNALS:
4374
4375
* Clean up ``bzr selftest --benchmark bundle`` to correct an import,
4376
and remove benchmarks that take longer than 10min to run.
4377
(John Arbash Meinel)
4378
4379
bzr 0.12rc1 2006-10-23
4380
-----------------------
4381
4382
IMPROVEMENTS:
4383
4384
* ``bzr log`` now shows dotted-decimal revision numbers for all revisions,
4385
rather than just showing a decimal revision number for revisions on the
4386
mainline. These revision numbers are not yet accepted as input into bzr
4387
commands such as log, diff etc. (Robert Collins)
4388
4389
* revisions can now be specified using dotted-decimal revision numbers.
4390
For instance, ``bzr diff -r 1.2.1..1.2.3``. (Robert Collins)
4391
4392
* ``bzr help commands`` output is now shorter (Aaron Bentley)
4393
4394
* ``bzr`` now uses lazy importing to reduce the startup time. This has
4395
a moderate effect on lots of actions, especially ones that have
4396
little to do. For example ``bzr rocks`` time is down to 116ms from
4397
283ms. (John Arbash Meinel)
4398
4399
* New Registry class to provide name-to-object registry-like support,
4400
for example for schemes where plugins can register new classes to
4401
do certain tasks (e.g. log formatters). Also provides lazy registration
4402
to allow modules to be loaded on request.
4403
(John Arbash Meinel, Adeodato Simó)
4404
4405
API INCOMPATABILITY:
4406
4407
* LogFormatter subclasses show now expect the 'revno' parameter to
4408
show() to be a string rather than an int. (Robert Collins)
4409
4410
INTERNALS:
4411
4412
* ``TestCase.run_bzr``, ``run_bzr_captured``, and ``run_bzr_subprocess``
4413
can take a ``working_dir='foo'`` parameter, which will change directory
4414
for the command. (John Arbash Meinel)
4415
4416
* ``bzrlib.lazy_regex.lazy_compile`` can be used to create a proxy
4417
around a regex, which defers compilation until first use.
4418
(John Arbash Meinel)
4419
4420
* ``TestCase.run_bzr_subprocess`` defaults to supplying the
4421
``--no-plugins`` parameter to ensure test reproducability, and avoid
4422
problems with system-wide installed plugins. (John Arbash Meinel)
4423
4424
* Unique tree root ids are now supported. Newly created trees still
4425
use the common root id for compatibility with bzr versions before 0.12.
4426
(Aaron Bentley)
4427
4428
* ``WorkingTree.set_root_id(None)`` is now deprecated. Please
4429
pass in ``inventory.ROOT_ID`` if you want the default root id value.
4430
(Robert Collins, John Arbash Meinel)
4431
4432
* New method ``WorkingTree.flush()`` which will write the current memory
4433
inventory out to disk. At the same time, ``read_working_inventory`` will
4434
no longer trash the current tree inventory if it has been modified within
4435
the current lock, and the tree will now ``flush()`` automatically on
4436
``unlock()``. ``WorkingTree.set_root_id()`` has been updated to take
4437
advantage of this functionality. (Robert Collins, John Arbash Meinel)
4438
4439
* ``bzrlib.tsort.merge_sorted`` now accepts ``generate_revnos``. This
4440
parameter will cause it to add another column to its output, which
4441
contains the dotted-decimal revno for each revision, as a tuple.
4442
(Robert Collins)
4443
4444
* ``LogFormatter.show_merge`` is deprecated in favour of
4445
``LogFormatter.show_merge_revno``. (Robert Collins)
4446
4447
BUG FIXES:
4448
4449
* Avoid circular imports by creating a deprecated function for
4450
``bzrlib.tree.RevisionTree``. Callers should have been using
4451
``bzrlib.revisontree.RevisionTree`` anyway. (John Arbash Meinel,
4452
#63360, #66349)
4453
4454
* Don't use ``socket.MSG_WAITALL`` as it doesn't exist on all
4455
platforms. (Martin Pool, #66356)
4456
4457
* Don't require ``Content-Type`` in range responses. Assume they are a
4458
single range if ``Content-Type`` does not exist.
4459
(John Arbash Meinel, #62473)
4460
4461
* bzr branch/pull no longer complain about progress bar cleanup when
4462
interrupted during fetch. (Aaron Bentley, #54000)
4463
4464
* ``WorkingTree.set_parent_trees()`` uses the trees to directly write
4465
the basis inventory, rather than going through the repository. This
4466
allows us to have 1 inventory read, and 2 inventory writes when
4467
committing a new tree. (John Arbash Meinel)
4468
4469
* When reverting, files that are not locally modified that do not exist
4470
in the target are deleted, not just unversioned (Aaron Bentley)
4471
4472
* When trying to acquire a lock, don't fail immediately. Instead, try
4473
a few times (up to 1 hour) before timing out. Also, report why the
4474
lock is unavailable (John Arbash Meinel, #43521, #49556)
4475
4476
* Leave HttpTransportBase daughter classes decides how they
4477
implement cloning. (Vincent Ladeuil, #61606)
4478
4479
* diff3 does not indicate conflicts on clean merge. (Aaron Bentley)
4480
4481
* If a commit fails, the commit message is stored in a file at the root of
4482
the tree for later commit. (Cheuksan Edward Wang, Stefan Metzmacher,
4483
#32054)
4484
4485
TESTING:
4486
4487
* New test base class TestCaseWithMemoryTransport offers memory-only
4488
testing facilities: its not suitable for tests that need to mutate disk
4489
state, but most tests should not need that and should be converted to
4490
TestCaseWithMemoryTransport. (Robert Collins)
4491
4492
* ``TestCase.make_branch_and_memory_tree`` now takes a format
4493
option to set the BzrDir, Repository and Branch formats of the
4494
created objects. (Robert Collins, John Arbash Meinel)
4495
4496
bzr 0.11 2006-10-02

4511
bzr 0.11rc1 2006-09-25
4512
-----------------------
4513
4514
IMPROVEMENTS:
4515
4516
* Knit files now wait to create their contents until the first data is
4517
added. The old code used to create an empty .knit and a .kndx with just
4518
the header. However, this caused a lot of extra round trips over sftp.
4519
This can change the time for ``bzr push`` to create a new remote branch
4520
from 160s down to 100s. This also affects ``bzr commit`` performance when
4521
adding new files, ``bzr commit`` on a new kernel-like tree drops from 50s
4522
down to 40s (John Arbash Meinel, #44692)
4523
4524
* When an entire subtree has been deleted, commit will now report that
4525
just the top of the subtree has been deleted, rather than reporting
4526
all the individual items. (Robert Collins)
4527
4528
* Commit performs one less XML parse. (Robert Collins)
4529
4530
* ``bzr checkout`` now operates on readonly branches as well
4531
as readwrite branches. This fixes bug #39542. (Robert Collins)
4532
4533
* ``bzr bind`` no longer synchronises history with the master branch.
4534
Binding should be followed by an update or push to synchronise the
4535
two branches. This is closely related to the fix for bug #39542.
4536
(Robert Collins)
4537
4538
* ``bzrlib.lazy_import.lazy_import`` function to create on-demand
4539
objects. This allows all imports to stay at the global scope, but
4540
modules will not actually be imported if they are not used.
4541
(John Arbash Meinel)
4542
4543
* Support ``bzr://`` and ``bzr+ssh://`` urls to work with the new RPC-based
4544
transport which will be used with the upcoming high-performance smart
4545
server. The new command ``bzr serve`` will invoke bzr in server mode,
4546
which processes these requests. (Andrew Bennetts, Robert Collins, Martin
4547
Pool)
4548
4549
* New command ``bzr version-info`` which can be used to get a summary
4550
of the current state of the tree. This is especially useful as part
4551
of a build commands. See ``doc/version_info.txt`` for more information
4552
(John Arbash Meinel)
4553
4554
BUG FIXES:
4555
4556
* ``'bzr inventory [FILE...]'`` allows restricting the file list to a
4557
specific set of files. (John Arbash Meinel, #3631)
4558
4559
* Don't abort when annotating empty files (John Arbash Meinel, #56814)
4560
4561
* Add ``Stanza.to_unicode()`` which can be passed to another Stanza
4562
when nesting stanzas. Also, add ``read_stanza_unicode`` to handle when
4563
reading a nested Stanza. (John Arbash Meinel)
4564
4565
* Transform._set_mode() needs to stat the right file.
4566
(John Arbash Meinel, #56549)
4567
4568
* Raise WeaveFormatError rather than StopIteration when trying to read
4569
an empty Weave file. (John Arbash Meinel, #46871)
4570
4571
* Don't access e.code for generic URLErrors, only HTTPErrors have .code.
4572
(Vincent Ladeuil, #59835)
4573
4574
* Handle boundary="" lines properly to allow access through a Squid proxy.
4575
(John Arbash Meinel, #57723)
4576
4577
* revert now removes newly-added directories (Aaron Bentley, #54172)
4578
4579
* ``bzr upgrade sftp://`` shouldn't fail to upgrade v6 branches if there
4580
isn't a working tree. (David Allouche, #40679)
4581
4582
* Give nicer error messages when a user supplies an invalid --revision
4583
parameter. (John Arbash Meinel, #55420)
4584
4585
* Handle when LANG is not recognized by python. Emit a warning, but
4586
just revert to using 'ascii'. (John Arbash Meinel, #35392)
4587
4588
* Don't use ``preexec_fn`` on win32, as it is not supported by subprocess.
4589
(John Arbash Meinel)
4590
4591
* Skip specific tests when the dependencies aren't met. This includes
4592
some ``setup.py`` tests when ``python-dev`` is not available, and
4593
some tests that depend on paramiko. (John Arbash Meinel, Mattheiu Moy)
4594
4595
* Fallback to Paramiko properly, if no ``ssh`` executable exists on
4596
the system. (Andrew Bennetts, John Arbash Meinel)
4597
4598
* ``Branch.bind(other_branch)`` no longer takes a write lock on the
4599
other branch, and will not push or pull between the two branches.
4600
API users will need to perform a push or pull or update operation if they
4601
require branch synchronisation to take place. (Robert Collins, #47344)
4602
4603
* When creating a tarball or zipfile export, export unicode names as utf-8
4604
paths. This may not work perfectly on all platforms, but has the best
4605
chance of working in the common case. (John Arbash Meinel, #56816)
4606
4607
* When committing, only files that exist in working tree or basis tree
4608
may be specified (Aaron Bentley, #50793)
4609
4610
PORTABILITY:
4611
4612
* Fixes to run on Python 2.5 (Brian M. Carlson, Martin Pool, Marien Zwart)
4613
4614
INTERNALS:
4615
4616
* TestCaseInTempDir now creates a separate directory for HOME, rather
4617
than having HOME set to the same location as the working directory.
4618
(John Arbash Meinel)
4619
4620
* ``run_bzr_subprocess()`` can take an optional ``env_changes={}`` parameter,
4621
which will update os.environ inside the spawned child. It also can
4622
take a ``universal_newlines=True``, which helps when checking the output
4623
of the command. (John Arbash Meinel)
4624
4625
* Refactor SFTP vendors to allow easier re-use when ssh is used.
4626
(Andrew Bennetts)
4627
4628
* ``Transport.list_dir()`` and ``Transport.iter_files_recursive()`` should always
4629
return urlescaped paths. This is now tested (there were bugs in a few
4630
of the transports) (Andrew Bennetts, David Allouche, John Arbash Meinel)
4631
4632
* New utility function ``symbol_versioning.deprecation_string``. Returns the
4633
formatted string for a callable, deprecation format pair. (Robert Collins)
4634
4635
* New TestCase helper applyDeprecated. This allows you to call a callable
4636
which is deprecated without it spewing to the screen, just by supplying
4637
the deprecation format string issued for it. (Robert Collins)
4638
4639
* Transport.append and Transport.put have been deprecated in favor of
4640
``.append_bytes``, ``.append_file``, ``.put_bytes``, and
4641
``.put_file``. This removes the ambiguity in what type of object the
4642
functions take. ``Transport.non_atomic_put_{bytes,file}`` has also
4643
been added. Which works similarly to ``Transport.append()`` except for
4644
SFTP, it doesn't have a round trip when opening the file. Also, it
4645
provides functionality for creating a parent directory when trying
4646
to create a file, rather than raise NoSuchFile and forcing the
4647
caller to repeat their request.
4648
(John Arbash Meinel)
4649
4650
* WorkingTree has a new api ``unversion`` which allow the unversioning of
4651
entries by their file id. (Robert Collins)
4652
4653
* ``WorkingTree.pending_merges`` is deprecated. Please use the
4654
``get_parent_ids`` (introduced in 0.10) method instead. (Robert Collins)
4655
4656
* WorkingTree has a new ``lock_tree_write`` method which locks the branch for
4657
read rather than write. This is appropriate for actions which only need
4658
the branch data for reference rather than mutation. A new decorator
4659
``needs_tree_write_lock`` is provided in the workingtree module. Like the
4660
``needs_read_lock`` and ``needs_write_lock`` decorators this allows static
4661
declaration of the locking requirements of a function to ensure that
4662
a lock is taken out for casual scripts. (Robert Collins, #54107)
4663
4664
* All WorkingTree methods which write to the tree, but not to the branch
4665
have been converted to use ``needs_tree_write_lock`` rather than
4666
``needs_write_lock``. Also converted is the revert, conflicts and tree
4667
transform modules. This provides a modest performance improvement on
4668
metadir style trees, due to the reduce lock-acquisition, and a more
4669
significant performance improvement on lightweight checkouts from
4670
remote branches, where trivial operations used to pay a significant
4671
penalty. It also provides the basis for allowing readonly checkouts.
4672
(Robert Collins)
4673
4674
* Special case importing the standard library 'copy' module. This shaves
4675
off 40ms of startup time, while retaining compatibility. See:
4676
``bzrlib/inspect_for_copy.py`` for more details. (John Arbash Meinel)
4677
4678
* WorkingTree has a new parent class MutableTree which represents the
4679
specialisations of Tree which are able to be altered. (Robert Collins)
4680
4681
* New methods mkdir and ``put_file_bytes_non_atomic`` on MutableTree that
4682
mutate the tree and its contents. (Robert Collins)
4683
4684
* Transport behaviour at the root of the URL is now defined and tested.
4685
(Andrew Bennetts, Robert Collins)
4686
4687
TESTING:
4688
4689
* New test helper classs MemoryTree. This is typically accessed via
4690
``self.make_branch_and_memory_tree()`` in test cases. (Robert Collins)
4691
4692
* Add ``start_bzr_subprocess`` and ``stop_bzr_subprocess`` to allow test
4693
code to continue running concurrently with a subprocess of bzr.
4694
(Andrew Bennetts, Robert Collins)
4695
4696
* Add a new method ``Transport.get_smart_client()``. This is provided to
4697
allow upgrades to a richer interface than the VFS one provided by
4698
Transport. (Andrew Bennetts, Martin Pool)
4699
4700
bzr 0.10 2006-08-29
4701
--------------------
4702
4703
IMPROVEMENTS:
4704
* 'merge' now takes --uncommitted, to apply uncommitted changes from a
4705
tree. (Aaron Bentley)
4706
4707
* 'bzr add --file-ids-from' can be used to specify another path to use
4708
for creating file ids, rather than generating all new ones. Internally,
4709
the 'action' passed to ``smart_add_tree()`` can return ``file_ids`` that
4710
will be used, rather than having bzrlib generate new ones.
4711
(John Arbash Meinel, #55781)
4712
4713
* ``bzr selftest --benchmark`` now allows a ``--cache-dir`` parameter.
4714
This will cache some of the intermediate trees, and decrease the
4715
setup time for benchmark tests. (John Arbash Meinel)
4716
4717
* Inverse forms are provided for all boolean options. For example,
4718
--strict has --no-strict, --no-recurse has --recurse (Aaron Bentley)
4719
4720
* Serialize out Inventories directly, rather than using ElementTree.
4721
Writing out a kernel sized inventory drops from 2s down to ~350ms.
4722
(Robert Collins, John Arbash Meinel)
4723
4724
BUG FIXES:
4725
4726
* Help diffutils 2.8.4 get along with binary tests (Marien Zwart: #57614)
4727
4728
* Change LockDir so that if the lock directory doesn't exist when
4729
``lock_write()`` is called, an attempt will be made to create it.
4730
(John Arbash Meinel, #56974)
4731
4732
* ``bzr uncommit`` preserves pending merges. (John Arbash Meinel, #57660)
4733
4734
* Active FTP transport now works as intended. (ghozzy, #56472)
4735
4736
* Really fix mutter() so that it won't ever raise a UnicodeError.
4737
It means it is possible for ~/.bzr.log to contain non UTF-8 characters.
4738
But it is a debugging log, not a real user file.
4739
(John Arbash Meinel, #56947, #53880)
4740
4741
* Change Command handle to allow Unicode command and options.
4742
At present we cannot register Unicode command names, so we will get
4743
BzrCommandError('unknown command'), or BzrCommandError('unknown option')
4744
But that is better than a UnicodeError + a traceback.
4745
(John Arbash Meinel, #57123)
4746
4747
* Handle TZ=UTC properly when reading/writing revisions.
4748
(John Arbash Meinel, #55783, #56290)
4749
4750
* Use ``GPG_TTY`` to allow gpg --cl to work with gpg-agent in a pipeline,
4751
(passing text to sign in on stdin). (John Arbash Meinel, #54468)
4752
4753
* External diff does the right thing for binaries even in foreign
4754
languages. (John Arbash Meinel, #56307)
4755
4756
* Testament handles more cases when content is unicode. Specific bug was
4757
in handling of revision properties.
4758
(John Arbash Meinel, Holger Krekel, #54723)
4759
4760
* The bzr selftest was failing on installed versions due to a bug in a new
4761
test helper. (John Arbash Meinel, Robert Collins, #58057)
4762
4763
INTERNALS:
4764
4765
* ``bzrlib.cache_utf8`` contains ``encode()`` and ``decode()`` functions
4766
which can be used to cache the conversion between utf8 and Unicode.
4767
Especially helpful for some of the knit annotation code, which has to
4768
convert revision ids to utf8 to annotate lines in storage.
4769
(John Arbash Meinel)
4770
4771
* ``setup.py`` now searches the filesystem to find all packages which
4772
need to be installed. This should help make the life of packagers
4773
easier. (John Arbash Meinel)
4774
4775
bzr 0.9.0 2006-08-11
4776
---------------------
4777
4778
SURPRISES:
4779
4780
* The hard-coded built-in ignore rules have been removed. There are
4781
now two rulesets which are enforced. A user global one in
4782
``~/.bazaar/ignore`` which will apply to every tree, and the tree
4783
specific one '.bzrignore'.
4784
``~/.bazaar/ignore`` will be created if it does not exist, but with
4785
a more conservative list than the old default.
4786
This fixes bugs with default rules being enforced no matter what.
4787
The old list of ignore rules from bzr is available by
4788
running 'bzr ignore --old-default-rules'.
4789
(Robert Collins, Martin Pool, John Arbash Meinel)
4790
4791
* 'branches.conf' has been changed to 'locations.conf', since it can apply
4792
to more locations than just branch locations.
4793
(Aaron Bentley)
4794
4795
IMPROVEMENTS:
4796
4797
* The revision specifier "revno:" is extended to accept the syntax
4798
revno:N:branch. For example,
4799
revno:42:http://bazaar-vcs.org/bzr/bzr.dev/ means revision 42 in
4800
bzr.dev. (Matthieu Moy)
4801
4802
* Tests updates to ensure proper URL handling, UNICODE support, and
4803
proper printing when the user's terminal encoding cannot display
4804
the path of a file that has been versioned.
4805
``bzr branch`` can take a target URL rather than only a local directory.
4806
``Branch.get_parent()/set_parent()`` now save a relative path if possible,
4807
and normalize the parent based on root, allowing access across
4808
different transports. (John Arbash Meinel, Wouter van Heyst, Martin Pool)
4809
(Malone #48906, #42699, #40675, #5281, #3980, #36363, #43689,
4810
#42517, #42514)
4811
4812
* On Unix, detect terminal width using an ioctl not just $COLUMNS.
4813
Use terminal width for single-line logs from ``bzr log --line`` and
4814
pending-merge display. (Robert Widhopf-Fenk, Gustavo Niemeyer)
4815
(Malone #3507)
4816
4817
* On Windows, detect terminal width using GetConsoleScreenBufferInfo.
4818
(Alexander Belchenko)
4819
4820
* Speedup improvement for 'date:'-revision search. (Guillaume Pinot).
4821
4822
* Show the correct number of revisions pushed when pushing a new branch.
4823
(Robert Collins).
4824
4825
* 'bzr selftest' now shows a progress bar with the number of tests, and
4826
progress made. 'make check' shows tests in -v mode, to be more useful
4827
for the PQM status window. (Robert Collins).
4828
When using a progress bar, failed tests are printed out, rather than
4829
being overwritten by the progress bar until the suite finishes.
4830
(John Arbash Meinel)
4831
4832
* 'bzr selftest --benchmark' will run a new benchmarking selftest.
4833
'bzr selftest --benchmark --lsprof-timed' will use lsprofile to generate
4834
profile data for the individual profiled calls, allowing for fine
4835
grained analysis of performance.
4836
(Robert Collins, Martin Pool).
4837
4838
* 'bzr commit' shows a progress bar. This is useful for commits over sftp
4839
where commit can take an appreciable time. (Robert Collins)
4840
4841
* 'bzr add' is now less verbose in telling you what ignore globs were
4842
matched by files being ignored. Instead it just tells you how many
4843
were ignored (because you might reasonably be expecting none to be
4844
ignored). 'bzr add -v' is unchanged and will report every ignored
4845
file. (Robert Collins).
4846
4847
* ftp now has a test server if medusa is installed. As part of testing,
4848
ftp support has been improved, including support for supplying a
4849
non-standard port. (John Arbash Meinel).
4850
4851
* 'bzr log --line' shows the revision number, and uses only the
4852
first line of the log message (#5162, Alexander Belchenko;
4853
Matthieu Moy)
4854
4855
* 'bzr status' has had the --all option removed. The 'bzr ls' command
4856
should be used to retrieve all versioned files. (Robert Collins)
4857
4858
* 'bzr bundle OTHER/BRANCH' will create a bundle which can be sent
4859
over email, and applied on the other end, while maintaining ancestry.
4860
This bundle can be applied with either 'bzr merge' or 'bzr pull',
4861
the same way you would apply another branch.
4862
(John Arbash Meinel, Aaron Bentley)
4863
4864
* 'bzr whoami' can now be used to set your identity from the command line,
4865
for a branch or globally. (Robey Pointer)
4866
4867
* 'bzr checkout' now aliased to 'bzr co', and 'bzr annotate' to 'bzr ann'.
4868
(Michael Ellerman)
4869
4870
* 'bzr revert DIRECTORY' now reverts the contents of the directory as well.
4871
(Aaron Bentley)
4872
4873
* 'bzr get sftp://foo' gives a better error when paramiko is not present.
4874
Also updates things like 'http+pycurl://' if pycurl is not present.
4875
(John Arbash Meinel) (Malone #47821, #52204)
4876
4877
* New env variable ``BZR_PROGRESS_BAR``, sets the default progress bar type.
4878
Can be set to 'none' or 'dummy' to disable the progress bar, 'dots' or
4879
'tty' to create the respective type. (John Arbash Meinel, #42197, #51107)
4880
4881
* Improve the help text for 'bzr diff' to explain what various options do.
4882
(John Arbash Meinel, #6391)
4883
4884
* 'bzr uncommit -r 10' now uncommits revisions 11.. rather than uncommitting
4885
revision 10. This makes -r10 more in line with what other commands do.
4886
'bzr uncommit' also now saves the pending merges of the revisions that
4887
were removed. So it is safe to uncommit after a merge, fix something,
4888
and commit again. (John Arbash Meinel, #32526, #31426)
4889
4890
* 'bzr init' now also works on remote locations.
4891
(Wouter van Heyst, #48904)
4892
4893
* HTTP support has been updated. When using pycurl we now support
4894
connection keep-alive, which reduces dns requests and round trips.
4895
And for both urllib and pycurl we support multi-range requests,
4896
which decreases the number of round-trips. Performance results for
4897
``bzr branch http://bazaar-vcs.org/bzr/bzr.dev/`` indicate
4898
http branching is now 2-3x faster, and ``bzr pull`` in an existing
4899
branch is as much as 4x faster.
4900
(Michael Ellerman, Johan Rydberg, John Arbash Meinel, #46768)
4901
4902
* Performance improvements for sftp. Branching and pulling are now up to
4903
2x faster. Utilize paramiko.readv() support for async requests if it
4904
is available (paramiko > 1.6) (John Arbash Meinel)
4905
4906
BUG FIXES:
4907
4908
* Fix shadowed definition of TestLocationConfig that caused some
4909
tests not to run.
4910
(Erik Bågfors, Michael Ellerman, Martin Pool, #32587)
4911
4912
* Fix unnecessary requirement of sign-my-commits that it be run from
4913
a working directory. (Martin Pool, Robert Collins)
4914
4915
* 'bzr push location' will only remember the push location if it succeeds
4916
in connecting to the remote location. (John Arbash Meinel, #49742)
4917
4918
* 'bzr revert' no longer toggles the executable bit on win32
4919
(John Arbash Meinel, #45010)
4920
4921
* Handle broken pipe under win32 correctly. (John Arbash Meinel)
4922
4923
* sftp tests now work correctly on win32 if you have a newer paramiko
4924
(John Arbash Meinel)
4925
4926
* Cleanup win32 test suite, and general cleanup of places where
4927
file handles were being held open. (John Arbash Meinel)
4928
4929
* When specifying filenames for 'diff -r x..y', the name of the file in the
4930
working directory can be used, even if its name is different in both x
4931
and y.
4932
4933
* File-ids containing single- or double-quotes are handled correctly by
4934
push. (Aaron Bentley, #52227)
4935
4936
* Normalize unicode filenames to ensure cross-platform consistency.
4937
(John Arbash Meinel, #43689)
4938
4939
* The argument parser can now handle '-' as an argument. Currently
4940
no code interprets it specially (it is mostly handled as a file named
4941
'-'). But plugins, and future operations can use it.
4942
(John Arbash meinel, #50984)
4943
4944
* Bundles can properly read binary files with a plain '\r' in them.
4945
(John Arbash Meinel, #51927)
4946
4947
* Tuning ``iter_entries()`` to be more efficient (John Arbash Meinel, #5444)
4948
4949
* Lots of win32 fixes (the test suite passes again).
4950
(John Arbash Meinel, #50155)
4951
4952
* Handle openbsd returning None for sys.getfilesystemencoding() (#41183)
4953
4954
* Support ftp APPE (append) to allow Knits to be used over ftp (#42592)
4955
4956
* Removals are only committed if they match the filespec (or if there is
4957
no filespec). (#46635, Aaron Bentley)
4958
4959
* smart-add recurses through all supplied directories
4960
(John Arbash Meinel, #52578)
4961
4962
* Make the bundle reader extra lines before and after the bundle text.
4963
This allows you to parse an email with the bundle inline.
4964
(John Arbash Meinel, #49182)
4965
4966
* Change the file id generator to squash a little bit more. Helps when
4967
working with long filenames on windows. (Also helps for unicode filenames
4968
not generating hidden files). (John Arbash Meinel, #43801)
4969
4970
* Restore terminal mode on C-c while reading sftp password. (#48923,
4971
Nicholas Allen, Martin Pool)
4972
4973
* Timestamps are rounded to 1ms, and revision entries can be recreated
4974
exactly. (John Arbash Meinel, Jamie Wilkinson, #40693)
4975
4976
* Branch.base has changed to a URL, but ~/.bazaar/locations.conf should
4977
use local paths, since it is user visible (John Arbash Meinel, #53653)
4978
4979
* ``bzr status foo`` when foo was unversioned used to cause a full delta
4980
to be generated (John Arbash Meinel, #53638)
4981
4982
* When reading revision properties, an empty value should be considered
4983
the empty string, not None (John Arbash Meinel, #47782)
4984
4985
* ``bzr diff --diff-options`` can now handle binary files being changed.
4986
Also, the output is consistent when --diff-options is not supplied.
4987
(John Arbash Meinel, #54651, #52930)
4988
4989
* Use the right suffixes for loading plugins (John Arbash Meinel, #51810)
4990
4991
* Fix ``Branch.get_parent()`` to handle the case when the parent is not
4992
accessible (John Arbash Meinel, #52976)
4993
4994
INTERNALS:
4995
4996
* Combine the ignore rules into a single regex rather than looping over
4997
them to reduce the threshold where N^2 behaviour occurs in operations
4998
like status. (Jan Hudec, Robert Collins).
4999
5000
* Appending to ``bzrlib.DEFAULT_IGNORE`` is now deprecated. Instead, use
5001
one of the add functions in bzrlib.ignores. (John Arbash Meinel)
5002
5003
* 'bzr push' should only push the ancestry of the current revision, not
5004
all of the history in the repository. This is especially important for
5005
shared repositories. (John Arbash Meinel)
5006
5007
* ``bzrlib.delta.compare_trees`` now iterates in alphabetically sorted order,
5008
rather than randomly walking the inventories. (John Arbash Meinel)
5009
5010
* Doctests are now run in temporary directories which are cleaned up when
5011
they finish, rather than using special ScratchDir/ScratchBranch objects.
5012
(Martin Pool)
5013
5014
* Split ``check`` into separate methods on the branch and on the repository,
5015
so that it can be specialized in ways that are useful or efficient for
5016
different formats. (Martin Pool, Robert Collins)
5017
5018
* Deprecate ``Repository.all_revision_ids``; most methods don't really need
5019
the global revision graph but only that part leading up to a particular
5020
revision. (Martin Pool, Robert Collins)
5021
5022
* Add a BzrDirFormat ``control_formats`` list which allows for control formats
5023
that do not use '.bzr' to store their data - i.e. '.svn', '.hg' etc.
5024
(Robert Collins, Jelmer Vernooij).
5025
5026
* ``bzrlib.diff.external_diff`` can be redirected to any file-like object.

5094
bzr 0.8 2006-05-08
5095
-------------------
5096
5097
NOTES WHEN UPGRADING:
5098
5099
Release 0.8 of bzr introduces a new format for history storage, called
5100
'knit', as an evolution of to the 'weave' format used in 0.7. Local
5101
and remote operations are faster using knits than weaves. Several
5102
operations including 'init', 'init-repo', and 'upgrade' take a
5103
--format option that controls this. Branching from an existing branch
5104
will keep the same format.
5105
5106
It is possible to merge, pull and push between branches of different
5107
formats but this is slower than moving data between homogenous
5108
branches. It is therefore recommended (but not required) that you
5109
upgrade all branches for a project at the same time. Information on
5110
formats is shown by 'bzr info'.
5111
5112
bzr 0.8 now allows creation of 'repositories', which hold the history
5113
of files and revisions for several branches. Previously bzr kept all
5114
the history for a branch within the .bzr directory at the root of the
5115
branch, and this is still the default. To create a repository, use
5116
the new 'bzr init-repo' command. Branches exist as directories under
5117
the repository and contain just a small amount of information
5118
indicating the current revision of the branch.
5119
5120
bzr 0.8 also supports 'checkouts', which are similar to in cvs and
5121
subversion. Checkouts are associated with a branch (optionally in a
5122
repository), which contains all the historical information. The
5123
result is that a checkout can be deleted without losing any
5124
already-committed revisions. A new 'update' command is also available.
5125
5126
Repositories and checkouts are not supported with the 0.7 storage
5127
format. To use them you must upgrad to either knits, or to the
5128
'metaweave' format, which uses weaves but changes the .bzr directory
5129
arrangement.
5130
5131
5132
IMPROVEMENTS:
5133
5134
* Sftp paths can now be relative, or local, according to the lftp
5135
convention. Paths now take the form::
5136
5137
sftp://user:pass@host:port/~/relative/path
5138
or
5139
sftp://user:pass@host:port/absolute/path
5140
5141
* The FTP transport now tries to reconnect after a temporary
5142
failure. ftp put is made atomic. (Matthieu Moy)
5143
5144
* The FTP transport now maintains a pool of connections, and
5145
reuses them to avoid multiple connections to the same host (like
5146
sftp did). (Daniel Silverstone)
5147
5148
* The ``bzr_man.py`` file has been removed. To create the man page now,
5149
use ``./generate_docs.py man``. The new program can also create other files.
5150
Run ``python generate_docs.py --help`` for usage information.
5151
(Hans Ulrich Niedermann & James Blackwell).
5152
5153
* Man Page now gives full help (James Blackwell).
5154
Help also updated to reflect user config now being stored in .bazaar
5155
(Hans Ulrich Niedermann)
5156
5157
* It's now possible to set aliases in bazaar.conf (Erik Bågfors)
5158
5159
* Pull now accepts a --revision argument (Erik Bågfors)
5160
5161
* ``bzr re-sign`` now allows multiple revisions to be supplied on the command
5162
line. You can now use the following command to sign all of your old
5163
commits::
5164
5165
find .bzr/revision-store// -name my@email-* \
5166
| sed 's/.*\/\/..\///' \
5167
| xargs bzr re-sign
5168
5169
* Upgrade can now upgrade over the network. (Robert Collins)
5170
5171
* Two new commands 'bzr checkout' and 'bzr update' allow for CVS/SVN-alike
5172
behaviour. By default they will cache history in the checkout, but
5173
with --lightweight almost all data is kept in the master branch.
5174
(Robert Collins)
5175
5176
* 'revert' unversions newly-versioned files, instead of deleting them.
5177
5178
* 'merge' is more robust. Conflict messages have changed.
5179
5180
* 'merge' and 'revert' no longer clobber existing files that end in '~' or
5181
'.moved'.
5182
5183
* Default log format can be set in configuration and plugins can register
5184
their own formatters. (Erik Bågfors)
5185
5186
* New 'reconcile' command will check branch consistency and repair indexes
5187
that can become out of sync in pre 0.8 formats. (Robert Collins,
5188
Daniel Silverstone)
5189
5190
* New 'bzr init --format' and 'bzr upgrade --format' option to control
5191
what storage format is created or produced. (Robert Collins,
5192
Martin Pool)
5193
5194
* Add parent location to 'bzr info', if there is one. (Olaf Conradi)
5195
5196
* New developer commands 'weave-list' and 'weave-join'. (Martin Pool)
5197
5198
* New 'init-repository' command, plus support for repositories in 'init'
5199
and 'branch' (Aaron Bentley, Erik Bågfors, Robert Collins)
5200
5201
* Improve output of 'info' command. Show all relevant locations related to
5202
working tree, branch and repository. Use kibibytes for binary quantities.
5203
Fix off-by-one error in missing revisions of working tree. Make 'info'
5204
work on branches, repositories and remote locations. Show locations
5205
relative to the shared repository, if applicable. Show locking status
5206
of locations. (Olaf Conradi)
5207
5208
* Diff and merge now safely handle binary files. (Aaron Bentley)
5209
5210
* 'pull' and 'push' now normalise the revision history, so that any two
5211
branches with the same tip revision will have the same output from 'log'.
5212
(Robert Collins)
5213
5214
* 'merge' accepts --remember option to store parent location, like 'push'
5215
and 'pull'. (Olaf Conradi)
5216
5217
* bzr status and diff when files given as arguments do not exist
5218
in the relevant trees. (Martin Pool, #3619)
5219
5220
* Add '.hg' to the default ignore list. (Martin Pool)
5221
5222
* 'knit' is now the default disk format. This improves disk performance and
5223
utilization, increases incremental pull performance, robustness with SFTP
5224
and allows checkouts over SFTP to perform acceptably.
5225
The initial Knit code was contributed by Johan Rydberg based on a
5226
specification by Martin Pool.
5227
(Robert Collins, Aaron Bentley, Johan Rydberg, Martin Pool).
5228
5229
* New tool to generate all-in-one html version of the manual. (Alexander
5230
Belchenko)
5231
5232
* Hitting CTRL-C while doing an SFTP push will no longer cause stale locks
5233
to be left in the SFTP repository. (Robert Collins, Martin Pool).
5234
5235
* New option 'diff --prefix' to control how files are named in diff
5236
output, with shortcuts '-p0' and '-p1' corresponding to the options for
5237
GNU patch. (Alexander Belchenko, Goffredo Baroncelli, Martin Pool)
5238
5239
* Add --revision option to 'annotate' command. (Olaf Conradi)
5240
5241
* If bzr shows an unexpected revision-history after pulling (perhaps due
5242
to a reweave) it can now be corrected by 'bzr reconcile'.
5243
(Robert Collins)
5244
5245
CHANGES:
5246
5247
* Commit is now verbose by default, and shows changed filenames and the
5248
new revision number. (Robert Collins, Martin Pool)
5249
5250
* Unify 'mv', 'move', 'rename'. (Matthew Fuller, #5379)
5251
5252
* 'bzr -h' shows help. (Martin Pool, Ian Bicking, #35940)
5253
5254
* Make 'pull' and 'push' remember location on failure using --remember.
5255
(Olaf Conradi)
5256
5257
* For compatibility, make old format for using weaves inside metadir
5258
available as 'metaweave' format. Rename format 'metadir' to 'default'.
5259
Clean up help for option --format in commands 'init', 'init-repo' and
5260
'upgrade'. (Olaf Conradi)
5261
5262
INTERNALS:
5263
5264
* The internal storage of history, and logical branch identity have now
5265
been split into Branch, and Repository. The common locking and file
5266
management routines are now in bzrlib.lockablefiles.
5267
(Aaron Bentley, Robert Collins, Martin Pool)
5268
5269
* Transports can now raise DependencyNotPresent if they need a library
5270
which is not installed, and then another implementation will be
5271
tried. (Martin Pool)
5272
5273
* Remove obsolete (and no-op) `decode` parameter to `Transport.get`.
5274
(Martin Pool)
5275
5276
* Using Tree Transform for merge, revert, tree-building
5277
5278
* WorkingTree.create, Branch.create, ``WorkingTree.create_standalone``,
5279
Branch.initialize are now deprecated. Please see ``BzrDir.create_*`` for
5280
replacement API's. (Robert Collins)
5281
5282
* New BzrDir class represents the .bzr control directory and manages
5283
formatting issues. (Robert Collins)
5284
5285
* New repository.InterRepository class encapsulates Repository to
5286
Repository actions and allows for clean selection of optimised code
5287
paths. (Robert Collins)
5288
5289
* ``bzrlib.fetch.fetch`` and ``bzrlib.fetch.greedy_fetch`` are now
5290
deprecated, please use ``branch.fetch`` or ``repository.fetch``
5291
depending on your needs. (Robert Collins)
5292
5293
* deprecated methods now have a ``is_deprecated`` flag on them that can
5294
be checked, if you need to determine whether a given callable is
5295
deprecated at runtime. (Robert Collins)
5296
5297
* Progress bars are now nested - see
5298
``bzrlib.ui.ui_factory.nested_progress_bar``.
5299
(Robert Collins, Robey Pointer)
5300
5301
* New API call ``get_format_description()`` for each type of format.
5302
(Olaf Conradi)
5303
5304
* Changed ``branch.set_parent()`` to accept None to remove parent.
5305
(Olaf Conradi)
5306
5307
* Deprecated BzrError AmbiguousBase. (Olaf Conradi)
5308
5309
* WorkingTree.branch is now a read only property. (Robert Collins)
5310
5311
* bzrlib.ui.text.TextUIFactory now accepts a ``bar_type`` parameter which
5312
can be None or a factory that will create a progress bar. This is
5313
useful for testing or for overriding the bzrlib.progress heuristic.
5314
(Robert Collins)
5315
5316
* New API method ``get_physical_lock_status()`` to query locks present on a
5317
transport. (Olaf Conradi)
5318
5319
* Repository.reconcile now takes a thorough keyword parameter to allow
5320
requesting an indepth reconciliation, rather than just a data-loss
5321
check. (Robert Collins)
5322
5323
* ``bzrlib.ui.ui_factory protocol`` now supports ``get_boolean`` to prompt
5324
the user for yes/no style input. (Robert Collins)
5325
5326
TESTING:
5327
5328
* SFTP tests now shortcut the SSH negotiation, reducing test overhead
5329
for testing SFTP protocol support. (Robey Pointer)
5330
5331
* Branch formats are now tested once per implementation (see ``bzrlib.
5332
tests.branch_implementations``. This is analagous to the transport
5333
interface tests, and has been followed up with working tree,
5334
repository and BzrDir tests. (Robert Collins)
5335
5336
* New test base class TestCaseWithTransport provides a transport aware
5337
test environment, useful for testing any transport-interface using
5338
code. The test suite option --transport controls the transport used
5339
by this class (when its not being used as part of implementation
5340
contract testing). (Robert Collins)
5341
5342
* Close logging handler on disabling the test log. This will remove the
5343
handler from the internal list inside python's logging module,
5344
preventing shutdown from closing it twice. (Olaf Conradi)
5345
5346
* Move test case for uncommit to blackbox tests. (Olaf Conradi)
5347
5348
* ``run_bzr`` and ``run_bzr_captured`` now accept a 'stdin="foo"'
5349
parameter which will provide String("foo") to the command as its stdin.
5350
5351
bzr 0.7 2006-01-09
5352
------------------
5353
5354
CHANGES:
5355
5356
* .bzrignore is excluded from exports, on the grounds that it's a bzr
5357
internal-use file and may not be wanted. (Jamie Wilkinson)
5358
5359
* The "bzr directories" command were removed in favor of the new
5360
--kind option to the "bzr inventory" command. To list all
5361
versioned directories, now use "bzr inventory --kind directory".
5362
(Johan Rydberg)
5363
5364
* Under Windows configuration directory is now ``%APPDATA%\bazaar\2.0``
5365
by default. (John Arbash Meinel)
5366
5367
* The parent of Bzr configuration directory can be set by ``BZR_HOME``
5368
environment variable. Now the path for it is searched in ``BZR_HOME``,
5369
then in HOME. Under Windows the order is: ``BZR_HOME``, ``APPDATA``
5370
(usually points to ``C:\Documents and Settings\User Name\Application Data``),
5371
``HOME``. (John Arbash Meinel)
5372
5373
* Plugins with the same name in different directories in the bzr plugin
5374
path are no longer loaded: only the first successfully loaded one is
5375
used. (Robert Collins)
5376
5377
* Use systems' external ssh command to open connections if possible.
5378
This gives better integration with user settings such as ProxyCommand.
5379
(James Henstridge)
5380
5381
* Permissions on files underneath .bzr/ are inherited from the .bzr
5382
directory. So for a shared repository, simply doing 'chmod -R g+w .bzr/'
5383
will mean that future file will be created with group write permissions.
5384
5385
* configure.in and config.guess are no longer in the builtin default
5386
ignore list.
5387
5388
* '.sw[nop]' pattern ignored, to ignore vim swap files for nameless
5389
files. (John Arbash Meinel, Martin Pool)
5390
5391
IMPROVEMENTS:
5392
5393
* "bzr INIT dir" now initializes the specified directory, and creates
5394
it if it does not exist. (John Arbash Meinel)
5395
5396
* New remerge command (Aaron Bentley)
5397
5398
* Better zsh completion script. (Steve Borho)
5399
5400
* 'bzr diff' now returns 1 when there are changes in the working
5401
tree. (Robert Collins)
5402
5403
* 'bzr push' now exists and can push changes to a remote location.
5404
This uses the transport infrastructure, and can store the remote
5405
location in the ~/.bazaar/branches.conf configuration file.
5406
(Robert Collins)
5407
5408
* Test directories are only kept if the test fails and the user requests
5409
that they be kept.
5410
5411
* Tweaks to short log printing
5412
5413
* Added branch nicks, new nick command, printing them in log output.
5414
(Aaron Bentley)
5415
5416
* If ``$BZR_PDB`` is set, pop into the debugger when an uncaught exception
5417
occurs. (Martin Pool)
5418
5419
* Accept 'bzr resolved' (an alias for 'bzr resolve'), as this is
5420
the same as Subversion. (Martin Pool)
5421
5422
* New ftp transport support (on ftplib), for ftp:// and aftp://
5423
URLs. (Daniel Silverstone)
5424
5425
* Commit editor temporary files now start with ``bzr_log.``, to allow
5426
text editors to match the file name and set up appropriate modes or
5427
settings. (Magnus Therning)
5428
5429
* Improved performance when integrating changes from a remote weave.
5430
(Goffredo Baroncelli)
5431
5432
* Sftp will attempt to cache the connection, so it is more likely that
5433
a connection will be reused, rather than requiring multiple password
5434
requests.
5435
5436
* bzr revno now takes an optional argument indicating the branch whose
5437
revno should be printed. (Michael Ellerman)
5438
5439
* bzr cat defaults to printing the last version of the file.
5440
(Matthieu Moy, #3632)
5441
5442
* New global option 'bzr --lsprof COMMAND' runs bzr under the lsprof
5443
profiler. (Denys Duchier)
5444
5445
* Faster commits by reading only the headers of affected weave files.
5446
(Denys Duchier)
5447
5448
* 'bzr add' now takes a --dry-run parameter which shows you what would be
5449
added, but doesn't actually add anything. (Michael Ellerman)
5450
5451
* 'bzr add' now lists how many files were ignored per glob. add --verbose
5452
lists the specific files. (Aaron Bentley)
5453
5454
* 'bzr missing' now supports displaying changes in diverged trees and can
5455
be limited to show what either end of the comparison is missing.
5456
(Aaron Bently, with a little prompting from Daniel Silverstone)
5457
5458
BUG FIXES:
5459
5460
* SFTP can walk up to the root path without index errors. (Robert Collins)
5461
5462
* Fix bugs in running bzr with 'python -O'. (Martin Pool)
5463
5464
* Error when run with -OO
5465
5466
* Fix bug in reporting http errors that don't have an http error code.
5467
(Martin Pool)
5468
5469
* Handle more cases of pipe errors in display commands
5470
5471
* Change status to 3 for all errors
5472
5473
* Files that are added and unlinked before committing are completely
5474
ignored by diff and status
5475
5476
* Stores with some compressed texts and some uncompressed texts are now
5477
able to be used. (John A Meinel)
5478
5479
* Fix for bzr pull failing sometimes under windows
5480
5481
* Fix for sftp transport under windows when using interactive auth
5482
5483
* Show files which are both renamed and modified as such in 'bzr
5484
status' output. (Daniel Silverstone, #4503)
5485
5486
* Make annotate cope better with revisions committed without a valid
5487
email address. (Marien Zwart)
5488
5489
* Fix representation of tab characters in commit messages.
5490
(Harald Meland)
5491
5492
* List of plugin directories in ``BZR_PLUGIN_PATH`` environment variable is
5493
now parsed properly under Windows. (Alexander Belchenko)
5494
5495
* Show number of revisions pushed/pulled/merged. (Robey Pointer)
5496
5497
* Keep a cached copy of the basis inventory to speed up operations
5498
that need to refer to it. (Johan Rydberg, Martin Pool)
5499
5500
* Fix bugs in bzr status display of non-ascii characters.
5501
(Martin Pool)
5502
5503
* Remove Makefile.in from default ignore list.
5504
(Tollef Fog Heen, Martin Pool, #6413)
5505
5506
* Fix failure in 'bzr added'. (Nathan McCallum, Martin Pool)
5507
5508
TESTING:
5509
5510
* Fix selftest asking for passwords when there are no SFTP keys.
5511
(Robey Pointer, Jelmer Vernooij)
5512
5513
* Fix selftest run with 'python -O'. (Martin Pool)
5514
5515
* Fix HTTP tests under Windows. (John Arbash Meinel)
5516
5517
* Make tests work even if HOME is not set (Aaron Bentley)
5518
5519
* Updated ``build_tree`` to use fixed line-endings for tests which read
5520
the file cotents and compare. Make some tests use this to pass under
5521
Windows. (John Arbash Meinel)
5522
5523
* Skip stat and symlink tests under Windows. (Alexander Belchenko)
5524
5525
* Delay in selftest/testhashcash is now issued under win32 and Cygwin.
5526
(John Arbash Meinel)
5527
5528
* Use terminal width to align verbose test output. (Martin Pool)
5529
5530
* Blackbox tests are maintained within the bzrlib.tests.blackbox directory.
5531
If adding a new test script please add that to
5532
``bzrlib.tests.blackbox.__init__``. (Robert Collins)
5533
5534
* Much better error message if one of the test suites can't be
5535
imported. (Martin Pool)
5536
5537
* Make check now runs the test suite twice - once with the default locale,
5538
and once with all locales forced to C, to expose bugs. This is not
5539
trivially done within python, so for now its only triggered by running
5540
Make check. Integrators and packagers who wish to check for full
5541
platform support should run 'make check' to test the source.
5542
(Robert Collins)
5543
5544
* Tests can now run TestSkipped if they can't execute for any reason.
5545
(Martin Pool) (NB: TestSkipped should only be raised for correctable
5546
reasons - see the wiki spec ImprovingBzrTestSuite).
5547
5548
* Test sftp with relative, absolute-in-homedir and absolute-not-in-homedir
5549
paths for the transport tests. Introduce blackbox remote sftp tests that
5550
test the same permutations. (Robert Collins, Robey Pointer)
5551
5552
* Transport implementation tests are now independent of the local file
5553
system, which allows tests for esoteric transports, and for features
5554
not available in the local file system. They also repeat for variations
5555
on the URL scheme that can introduce issues in the transport code,
5556
see bzrlib.transport.TransportTestProviderAdapter() for this.
5557
(Robert Collins).
5558
5559
* ``TestCase.build_tree`` uses the transport interface to build trees,
5560
pass in a transport parameter to give it an existing connection.
5561
(Robert Collins).
5562
5563
INTERNALS:
5564
5565
* WorkingTree.pull has been split across Branch and WorkingTree,
5566
to allow Branch only pulls. (Robert Collins)
5567
5568
* ``commands.display_command`` now returns the result of the decorated
5569
function. (Robert Collins)
5570
5571
* LocationConfig now has a ``set_user_option(key, value)`` call to save
5572
a setting in its matching location section (a new one is created
5573
if needed). (Robert Collins)
5574
5575
* Branch has two new methods, ``get_push_location`` and
5576
``set_push_location`` to respectively, get and set the push location.
5577
(Robert Collins)
5578
5579
* ``commands.register_command`` now takes an optional flag to signal that
5580
the registrant is planning to decorate an existing command. When
5581
given multiple plugins registering a command is not an error, and
5582
the original command class (whether built in or a plugin based one) is
5583
returned to the caller. There is a new error 'MustUseDecorated' for
5584
signalling when a wrapping command should switch to the original
5585
version. (Robert Collins)
5586
5587
* Some option parsing errors will raise 'BzrOptionError', allowing
5588
granular detection for decorating commands. (Robert Collins).
5589
5590
* ``Branch.read_working_inventory`` has moved to
5591
``WorkingTree.read_working_inventory``. This necessitated changes to
5592
``Branch.get_root_id``, and a move of ``Branch.set_inventory`` to
5593
WorkingTree as well. To make it clear that a WorkingTree cannot always
5594
be obtained ``Branch.working_tree()`` will raise
5595
``errors.NoWorkingTree`` if one cannot be obtained. (Robert Collins)
5596
5597
* All pending merges operations from Branch are now on WorkingTree.
5598
(Robert Collins)
5599
5600
* The follow operations from Branch have moved to WorkingTree::
5601
5602
add()
5603
commit()
5604
move()
5605
rename_one()
5606
unknowns()
5607
5608
(Robert Collins)
5609
5610
* ``bzrlib.add.smart_add_branch`` is now ``smart_add_tree``. (Robert Collins)
5611
5612
* New "rio" serialization format, similar to rfc-822. (Martin Pool)
5613
5614
* Rename selftests to ``bzrlib.tests.test_foo``. (John A Meinel, Martin
5615
Pool)
5616
5617
* ``bzrlib.plugin.all_plugins`` has been changed from an attribute to a
5618
query method. (Robert Collins)
5619
5620
* New options to read only the table-of-contents of a weave.
5621
(Denys Duchier)
5622
5623
* Raise NoSuchFile when someone tries to add a non-existant file.
5624
(Michael Ellerman)
5625
5626
* Simplify handling of DivergedBranches in ``cmd_pull()``.
5627
(Michael Ellerman)
5628
5629
* Branch.controlfile* logic has moved to lockablefiles.LockableFiles, which
5630
is exposed as ``Branch().control_files``. Also this has been altered with the
5631
controlfile pre/suffix replaced by simple method names like 'get' and
5632
'put'. (Aaron Bentley, Robert Collins).
5633
5634
* Deprecated functions and methods can now be marked as such using the
5635
``bzrlib.symbol_versioning`` module. Marked method have their docstring
5636
updated and will issue a DeprecationWarning using the warnings module
5637
when they are used. (Robert Collins)
5638
5639
* ``bzrlib.osutils.safe_unicode`` now exists to provide parameter coercion
5640
for functions that need unicode strings. (Robert Collins)
5641

5643
------------------
5644
5645
IMPROVEMENTS:
5646
5647
* pull now takes --verbose to show you what revisions are added or removed
5648
(John A Meinel)
5649
5650
* merge now takes a --show-base option to include the base text in
5651
conflicts.
5652
(Aaron Bentley)
5653
5654
* The config files are now read using ConfigObj, so '=' should be used as
5655
a separator, not ':'.
5656
(Aaron Bentley)
5657
5658
* New 'bzr commit --strict' option refuses to commit if there are
5659
any unknown files in the tree. To commit, make sure all files are
5660
either ignored, added, or deleted. (Michael Ellerman)
5661
5662
* The config directory is now ~/.bazaar, and there is a single file
5663
~/.bazaar/bazaar.conf storing email, editor and other preferences.
5664
(Robert Collins)
5665
5666
* 'bzr add' no longer takes a --verbose option, and a --quiet option
5667
has been added that suppresses all output.
5668
5669
* Improved zsh completion support in contrib/zsh, from Clint
5670
Adams.
5671
5672
* Builtin 'bzr annotate' command, by Martin Pool with improvements from
5673
Goffredo Baroncelli.
5674
5675
* 'bzr check' now accepts -v for verbose reporting, and checks for
5676
ghosts in the branch. (Robert Collins)
5677
5678
* New command 're-sign' which will regenerate the gpg signature for
5679
a revision. (Robert Collins)
5680
5681
* If you set ``check_signatures=require`` for a path in
5682
``~/.bazaar/branches.conf`` then bzr will invoke your
5683
``gpg_signing_command`` (defaults to gpg) and record a digital signature
5684
of your commit. (Robert Collins)
5685
5686
* New sftp transport, based on Paramiko. (Robey Pointer)
5687
5688
* 'bzr pull' now accepts '--clobber' which will discard local changes
5689
and make this branch identical to the source branch. (Robert Collins)
5690
5691
* Just give a quieter warning if a plugin can't be loaded, and
5692
put the details in .bzr.log. (Martin Pool)
5693
5694
* 'bzr branch' will now set the branch-name to the last component of the
5695
output directory, if one was supplied.
5696
5697
* If the option ``post_commit`` is set to one (or more) python function
5698
names (must be in the bzrlib namespace), then they will be invoked
5699
after the commit has completed, with the branch and ``revision_id`` as
5700
parameters. (Robert Collins)
5701
5702
* Merge now has a retcode of 1 when conflicts occur. (Robert Collins)
5703
5704
* --merge-type weave is now supported for file contents. Tree-shape
5705
changes are still three-way based. (Martin Pool, Aaron Bentley)
5706
5707
* 'bzr check' allows the first revision on revision-history to have
5708
parents - something that is expected for cheap checkouts, and occurs
5709
when conversions from baz do not have all history. (Robert Collins).
5710
5711
* 'bzr merge' can now graft unrelated trees together, if your specify
5712
0 as a base. (Aaron Bentley)
5713
5714
* 'bzr commit branch' and 'bzr commit branch/file1 branch/file2' now work
5715
(Aaron Bentley)
5716
5717
* Add '.sconsign*' to default ignore list. (Alexander Belchenko)
5718
5719
* 'bzr merge --reprocess' minimizes conflicts
5720
5721
TESTING:
5722
5723
* The 'bzr selftest --pattern' option for has been removed, now
5724
test specifiers on the command line can be simple strings, or
5725
regexps, or both. (Robert Collins)
5726
5727
* Passing -v to selftest will now show the time each test took to
5728
complete, which will aid in analysing performance regressions and
5729
related questions. (Robert Collins)
5730
5731
* 'bzr selftest' runs all tests, even if one fails, unless '--one'
5732
is given. (Martin Pool)
5733
5734
* There is a new method for TestCaseInTempDir, assertFileEqual, which
5735
will check that a given content is equal to the content of the named
5736
file. (Robert Collins)
5737
5738
* Fix test suite's habit of leaving many temporary log files in $TMPDIR.
5739
(Martin Pool)
5740
5741
INTERNALS:
5742
5743
* New 'testament' command and concept for making gpg-signatures
5744
of revisions that are not tied to a particular internal
5745
representation. (Martin Pool).
5746
5747
* Per-revision properties ('revprops') as key-value associated
5748
strings on each revision created when the revision is committed.
5749
Intended mainly for the use of external tools. (Martin Pool).
5750
5751
* Config options have moved from bzrlib.osutils to bzrlib.config.
5752
(Robert Collins)
5753
5754
* Improved command line option definitions allowing explanations
5755
for individual options, among other things. Contributed by
5756
Magnus Therning.
5757
5758
* Config options have moved from bzrlib.osutils to bzrlib.config.
5759
Configuration is now done via the config.Config interface:
5760
Depending on whether you have a Branch, a Location or no information
5761
available, construct a ``*Config``, and use its ``signature_checking``,
5762
``username`` and ``user_email`` methods. (Robert Collins)
5763
5764
* Plugins are now loaded under bzrlib.plugins, not bzrlib.plugin, and
5765
they are made available for other plugins to use. You should not
5766
import other plugins during the ``__init__`` of your plugin though, as
5767
no ordering is guaranteed, and the plugins directory is not on the
5768
python path. (Robert Collins)
5769
5770
* Branch.relpath has been moved to WorkingTree.relpath. WorkingTree no
5771
no longer takes an inventory, rather it takes an option branch
5772
parameter, and if None is given will open the branch at basedir
5773
implicitly. (Robert Collins)
5774
5775
* Cleaner exception structure and error reporting. Suggested by
5776
Scott James Remnant. (Martin Pool)
5777
5778
* Branch.remove has been moved to WorkingTree, which has also gained
5779
``lock_read``, ``lock_write`` and ``unlock`` methods for convenience.
5780
(Robert Collins)
5781
5782
* Two decorators, ``needs_read_lock`` and ``needs_write_lock`` have been
5783
added to the branch module. Use these to cause a function to run in a
5784
read or write lock respectively. (Robert Collins)
5785
5786
* ``Branch.open_containing`` now returns a tuple (Branch, relative-path),
5787
which allows direct access to the common case of 'get me this file
5788
from its branch'. (Robert Collins)
5789
5790
* Transports can register using ``register_lazy_transport``, and they
5791
will be loaded when first used. (Martin Pool)
5792
5793
* 'pull' has been factored out of the command as ``WorkingTree.pull()``.
5794
A new option to WorkingTree.pull has been added, clobber, which will
5795
ignore diverged history and pull anyway.
5796
(Robert Collins)
5797
5798
* config.Config has a ``get_user_option`` call that accepts an option name.
5799
This will be looked up in branches.conf and bazaar.conf as normal.
5800
It is intended that this be used by plugins to support options -
5801
options of built in programs should have specific methods on the config.
5802
(Robert Collins)
5803
5804
* ``merge.merge_inner`` now has tempdir as an optional parameter.
5805
(Robert Collins)
5806
5807
* Tree.kind is not recorded at the top level of the hierarchy, as it was
5808
missing on EmptyTree, leading to a bug with merge on EmptyTrees.
5809
(Robert Collins)
5810
5811
* ``WorkingTree.__del__`` has been removed, it was non deterministic and not
5812
doing what it was intended to. See ``WorkingTree.__init__`` for a comment
5813
about future directions. (Robert Collins/Martin Pool)
5814
5815
* bzrlib.transport.http has been modified so that only 404 urllib errors
5816
are returned as NoSuchFile. Other exceptions will propogate as normal.
5817
This allows debuging of actual errors. (Robert Collins)
5818
5819
* bzrlib.transport.Transport now accepts *ONLY* url escaped relative paths
5820
to apis like 'put', 'get' and 'has'. This is to provide consistent
5821
behaviour - it operates on url's only. (Robert Collins)
5822
5823
* Transports can register using ``register_lazy_transport``, and they
5824
will be loaded when first used. (Martin Pool)
5825
5826
* ``merge_flex`` no longer calls ``conflict_handler.finalize()``, instead that
5827
is called by ``merge_inner``. This is so that the conflict count can be
5828
retrieved (and potentially manipulated) before returning to the caller
5829
of ``merge_inner``. Likewise 'merge' now returns the conflict count to the
5830
caller. (Robert Collins)
5831
5832
* ``revision.revision_graph`` can handle having only partial history for
5833
a revision - that is no revisions in the graph with no parents.
5834
(Robert Collins).
5835
5836
* New ``builtins.branch_files`` uses the standard ``file_list`` rules to
5837
produce a branch and a list of paths, relative to that branch
5838
(Aaron Bentley)
5839
5840
* New TestCase.addCleanup facility.
5841
5842
* New ``bzrlib.version_info`` tuple (similar to ``sys.version_info``),
5843
which can be used by programs importing bzrlib.
5844
5845
BUG FIXES:
5846
5847
* Better handling of branches in directories with non-ascii names.
5848
(Joel Rosdahl, Panagiotis Papadakos)
5849
5850
* Upgrades of trees with no commits will not fail due to accessing
5851
[-1] in the revision-history. (Andres Salomon)
5852
5853
5854
bzr 0.1.1 2005-10-12
5855
--------------------
5856
5857
BUG FIXES:
5858
5859
* Fix problem in pulling over http from machines that do not
5860
allow directories to be listed.
5861
5862
* Avoid harmless warning about invalid hash cache after
5863
upgrading branch format.
5864
5865
PERFORMANCE:
5866
5867
* Avoid some unnecessary http operations in branch and pull.
5868
5869
5870
bzr 0.1 2005-10-11
5871
------------------
5872
5873
NOTES:
5874
5875
* 'bzr branch' over http initially gives a very high estimate
5876
of completion time but it should fall as the first few
5877
revisions are pulled in. branch is still slow on
5878
high-latency connections.
5879
5880
BUG FIXES:
5881
5882
* bzr-man.py has been updated to work again. Contributed by
5883
Rob Weir.
5884
5885
* Locking is now done with fcntl.lockf which works with NFS
5886
file systems. Contributed by Harald Meland.
5887
5888
* When a merge encounters a file that has been deleted on
5889
one side and modified on the other, the old contents are
5890
written out to foo.BASE and foo.SIDE, where SIDE is this
5891
or OTHER. Contributed by Aaron Bentley.
5892
5893
* Export was choosing incorrect file paths for the content of
5894
the tarball, this has been fixed by Aaron Bentley.
5895
5896
* Commit will no longer commit without a log message, an
5897
error is returned instead. Contributed by Jelmer Vernooij.
5898
5899
* If you commit a specific file in a sub directory, any of its
5900
parent directories that are added but not listed will be
5901
automatically included. Suggested by Michael Ellerman.
5902
5903
* bzr commit and upgrade did not correctly record new revisions
5904
for files with only a change to their executable status.
5905
bzr will correct this when it encounters it. Fixed by
5906
Robert Collins
5907
5908
* HTTP tests now force off the use of ``http_proxy`` for the duration.
5909
Contributed by Gustavo Niemeyer.
5910
5911
* Fix problems in merging weave-based branches that have
5912
different partial views of history.
5913
5914
* Symlink support: working with symlinks when not in the root of a
5915
bzr tree was broken, patch from Scott James Remnant.
5916
5917
IMPROVEMENTS:
5918
5919
* 'branch' now accepts a --basis parameter which will take advantage
5920
of local history when making a new branch. This allows faster
5921
branching of remote branches. Contributed by Aaron Bentley.
5922
5923
* New tree format based on weave files, called version 5.
5924
Existing branches can be upgraded to this format using
5925
'bzr upgrade'.
5926
5927
* Symlinks are now versionable. Initial patch by
5928
Erik Toubro Nielsen, updated to head by Robert Collins.
5929
5930
* Executable bits are tracked on files. Patch from Gustavo
5931
Niemeyer.
5932
5933
* 'bzr status' now shows unknown files inside a selected directory.
5934
Patch from Heikki Paajanen.
5935
5936
* Merge conflicts are recorded in .bzr. Two new commands 'conflicts'
5937
and 'resolve' have needed added, which list and remove those
5938
merge conflicts respectively. A conflicted tree cannot be committed
5939
in. Contributed by Aaron Bentley.
5940
5941
* 'rm' is now an alias for 'remove'.
5942
5943
* Stores now split out their content in a single byte prefixed hash,
5944
dropping the density of files per directory by 256. Contributed by
5945
Gustavo Niemeyer.
5946
5947
* 'bzr diff -r branch:URL' will now perform a diff between two branches.
5948
Contributed by Robert Collins.
5949
5950
* 'bzr log' with the default formatter will show merged revisions,
5951
indented to the right. Initial implementation contributed by Gustavo
5952
Niemeyer, made incremental by Robert Collins.
5953
5954
5955
INTERNALS:
5956
5957
* Test case failures have the exception printed after the log
5958
for your viewing pleasure.
5959
5960
* InventoryEntry is now an abstract base class, use one of the
5961
concrete InventoryDirectory etc classes instead.
5962
5963
* Branch raises an UnsupportedFormatError when it detects a
5964
bzr branch it cannot understand. This allows for precise
5965
handling of such circumstances.
5966
5967
* Remove RevisionReference class; ``Revision.parent_ids`` is now simply a
5968
list of their ids and ``parent_sha1s`` is a list of their corresponding
5969
sha1s (for old branches only at the moment.)
5970
5971
* New method-object style interface for Commit() and Fetch().
5972
5973
* Renamed ``Branch.last_patch()`` to ``Branch.last_revision()``, since
5974
we call them revisions not patches.
5975
5976
* Move ``copy_branch`` to ``bzrlib.clone.copy_branch``. The destination
5977
directory is created if it doesn't exist.
5978
5979
* Inventories now identify the files which were present by
5980
giving the revision *of that file*.
5981
5982
* Inventory and Revision XML contains a version identifier.
5983
This must be consistent with the overall branch version
5984
but allows for more flexibility in future upgrades.
5985
5986
TESTING:
5987
5988
* Removed testsweet module so that tests can be run after
5989
bzr installed by 'bzr selftest'.
5990
5991
* 'bzr selftest' command-line arguments can now be partial ids
5992
of tests to run, e.g. ``bzr selftest test_weave``

5995
bzr 0.0.9 2005-09-23
5996
--------------------
5997
5998
BUG FIXES:
5999
6000
* Fixed "branch -r" option.
6001
6002
* Fix remote access to branches containing non-compressed history.
6003
(Robert Collins).
6004
6005
* Better reliability of http server tests. (John Arbash-Meinel)
6006
6007
* Merge graph maximum distance calculation fix. (Aaron Bentley)
6008
6009
* Various minor bug in windows support have been fixed, largely in the
6010
test suite. Contributed by Alexander Belchenko.
6011
6012
IMPROVEMENTS:
6013
6014
* Status now accepts a -r argument to give status between chosen
6015
revisions. Contributed by Heikki Paajanen.
6016
6017
* Revision arguments no longer use +/-/= to control ranges, instead
6018
there is a 'before' namespace, which limits the successive namespace.
6019
For example '$ bzr log -r date:yesterday..before:date:today' will
6020
select everything from yesterday and before today. Contributed by
6021
Robey Pointer
6022
6023
* There is now a bzr.bat file created by distutils when building on
6024
Windows. Contributed by Alexander Belchenko.
6025
6026
INTERNALS:
6027
6028
* Removed uuid() as it was unused.
6029
6030
* Improved 'fetch' code for pulling revisions from one branch into
6031
another (used by pull, merged, etc.)
6032
6033
6034
bzr 0.0.8 2005-09-20
6035
--------------------
6036
6037
IMPROVEMENTS:
6038
6039
* Adding a file whose parent directory is not versioned will
6040
implicitly add the parent, and so on up to the root. This means
6041
you should never need to explictly add a directory, they'll just
6042
get added when you add a file in the directory. Contributed by
6043
Michael Ellerman.
6044
6045
* Ignore ``.DS_Store`` (contains Mac metadata) by default.
6046
(Nir Soffer)
6047
6048
* If you set ``BZR_EDITOR`` in the environment, it is checked in
6049
preference to EDITOR and the config file for the interactive commit
6050
editing program. Related to this is a bugfix where a missing program
6051
set in EDITOR would cause editing to fail, now the fallback program
6052
for the operating system is still tried.
6053
6054
* Files that are not directories/symlinks/regular files will no longer
6055
cause bzr to fail, it will just ignore them by default. You cannot add
6056
them to the tree though - they are not versionable.
6057
6058
6059
INTERNALS:
6060
6061
* Refactor xml packing/unpacking.
6062
6063
BUG FIXES:
6064
6065
* Fixed 'bzr mv' by Ollie Rutherfurd.
6066
6067
* Fixed strange error when trying to access a nonexistent http
6068
branch.
6069
6070
* Make sure that the hashcache gets written out if it can't be
6071
read.
6072
6073
6074
PORTABILITY:
6075
6076
* Various Windows fixes from Ollie Rutherfurd.
6077
6078
* Quieten warnings about locking; patch from Matt Lavin.
6079
6080
6081
bzr-0.0.7 2005-09-02
6082
--------------------
6083
6084
NEW FEATURES:
6085
6086
* ``bzr shell-complete`` command contributed by Clint Adams to
6087
help with intelligent shell completion.
6088
6089
* New expert command ``bzr find-merge-base`` for debugging merges.
6090
6091
6092
ENHANCEMENTS:
6093
6094
* Much better merge support.
6095
6096
* merge3 conflicts are now reported with markers like '<<<<<<<'
6097
(seven characters) which is the same as CVS and pleases things
6098
like emacs smerge.
6099
6100
6101
BUG FIXES:
6102
6103
* ``bzr upgrade`` no longer fails when trying to fix trees that
6104
mention revisions that are not present.
6105
6106
* Fixed bugs in listing plugins from ``bzr plugins``.
6107
6108
* Fix case of $EDITOR containing options for the editor.
6109
6110
* Fix log -r refusing to show the last revision.
6111
(Patch from Goffredo Baroncelli.)
6112
6113
6114
CHANGES:
6115
6116
* ``bzr log --show-ids`` shows the revision ids of all parents.
6117
6118
* Externally provided commands on your $BZRPATH no longer need
6119
to recognize --bzr-usage to work properly, and can just handle
6120
--help themselves.
6121
6122
6123
LIBRARY:
6124
6125
* Changed trace messages to go through the standard logging
6126
framework, so that they can more easily be redirected by
6127
libraries.
6128
6129
6130
6131
bzr-0.0.6 2005-08-18
6132
--------------------
6133
6134
NEW FEATURES:
6135
6136
* Python plugins, automatically loaded from the directories on
6137
``BZR_PLUGIN_PATH`` or ``~/.bzr.conf/plugins`` by default.
6138
6139
* New 'bzr mkdir' command.
6140
6141
* Commit mesage is fetched from an editor if not given on the
6142
command line; patch from Torsten Marek.
6143
6144
* ``bzr log -m FOO`` displays commits whose message matches regexp
6145
FOO.
6146
6147
* ``bzr add`` with no arguments adds everything under the current directory.
6148
6149
* ``bzr mv`` does move or rename depending on its arguments, like
6150
the Unix command.
6151
6152
* ``bzr missing`` command shows a summary of the differences
6153
between two trees. (Merged from John Arbash-Meinel.)
6154
6155
* An email address for commits to a particular tree can be
6156
specified by putting it into .bzr/email within a branch. (Based
6157
on a patch from Heikki Paajanen.)
6158
6159
6160
ENHANCEMENTS:
6161
6162
* Faster working tree operations.
6163
6164
6165
CHANGES:
6166
6167
* 3rd-party modules shipped with bzr are copied within the bzrlib
6168
python package, so that they can be installed by the setup
6169
script without clashing with anything already existing on the
6170
system. (Contributed by Gustavo Niemeyer.)
6171
6172
* Moved plugins directory to bzrlib/, so that there's a standard
6173
plugin directory which is not only installed with bzr itself but
6174
is also available when using bzr from the development tree.
6175
``BZR_PLUGIN_PATH`` and ``DEFAULT_PLUGIN_PATH`` are then added to the
6176
standard plugins directory.
6177
6178
* When exporting to a tarball with ``bzr export --format tgz``, put
6179
everything under a top directory rather than dumping it into the
6180
current directory. This can be overridden with the ``--root``
6181
option. Patch from William Dodé and John Meinel.
6182
6183
* New ``bzr upgrade`` command to upgrade the format of a branch,
6184
replacing ``bzr check --update``.
6185
6186
* Files within store directories are no longer marked readonly on
6187
disk.
6188
6189
* Changed ``bzr log`` output to a more compact form suggested by
6190
John A Meinel. Old format is available with the ``--long`` or
6191
``-l`` option, patched by William Dodé.
6192
6193
* By default the commit command refuses to record a revision with
6194
no changes unless the ``--unchanged`` option is given.
6195
6196
* The ``--no-plugins``, ``--profile`` and ``--builtin`` command
6197
line options must come before the command name because they
6198
affect what commands are available; all other options must come
6199
after the command name because their interpretation depends on
6200
it.
6201
6202
* ``branch`` and ``clone`` added as aliases for ``branch``.
6203
6204
* Default log format is back to the long format; the compact one
6205
is available with ``--short``.
6206
6207
6208
BUG FIXES:
6209
6210
* Fix bugs in committing only selected files or within a subdirectory.
6211
6212
6213
bzr-0.0.5 2005-06-15
6214
---------------------
6215
6216
CHANGES:
6217
6218
* ``bzr`` with no command now shows help rather than giving an
6219
error. Suggested by Michael Ellerman.
6220
6221
* ``bzr status`` output format changed, because svn-style output
6222
doesn't really match the model of bzr. Now files are grouped by
6223
status and can be shown with their IDs. ``bzr status --all``
6224
shows all versioned files and unknown files but not ignored files.
6225
6226
* ``bzr log`` runs from most-recent to least-recent, the reverse
6227
of the previous order. The previous behaviour can be obtained
6228
with the ``--forward`` option.
6229
6230
* ``bzr inventory`` by default shows only filenames, and also ids
6231
if ``--show-ids`` is given, in which case the id is the second
6232
field.
6233
6234
6235
ENHANCEMENTS:
6236
6237
* New 'bzr whoami --email' option shows only the email component
6238
of the user identification, from Jo Vermeulen.
6239
6240
* New ``bzr ignore PATTERN`` command.
6241
6242
* Nicer error message for broken pipe, interrupt and similar
6243
conditions that don't indicate an internal error.
6244
6245
* Add ``.*.sw[nop] .git .*.tmp *,v`` to default ignore patterns.
6246
6247
* Per-branch locks keyed on ``.bzr/branch-lock``, available in
6248
either read or write mode.
6249
6250
* New option ``bzr log --show-ids`` shows revision and file ids.
6251
6252
* New usage ``bzr log FILENAME`` shows only revisions that
6253
affected that file.
6254
6255
* Changed format for describing changes in ``bzr log -v``.
6256
6257
* New option ``bzr commit --file`` to take a message from a file,
6258
suggested by LarstiQ.
6259
6260
* New syntax ``bzr status [FILE...]`` contributed by Bartosz
6261
Oler. File may be in a branch other than the working directory.
6262
6263
* ``bzr log`` and ``bzr root`` can be given an http URL instead of
6264
a filename.
6265
6266
* Commands can now be defined by external programs or scripts
6267
in a directory on $BZRPATH.
6268
6269
* New "stat cache" avoids reading the contents of files if they
6270
haven't changed since the previous time.
6271
6272
* If the Python interpreter is too old, try to find a better one
6273
or give an error. Based on a patch from Fredrik Lundh.
6274
6275
* New optional parameter ``bzr info [BRANCH]``.
6276
6277
* New form ``bzr commit SELECTED`` to commit only selected files.
6278
6279
* New form ``bzr log -r FROM:TO`` shows changes in selected
6280
range; contributed by John A Meinel.
6281
6282
* New option ``bzr diff --diff-options 'OPTS'`` allows passing
6283
options through to an external GNU diff.
6284
6285
* New option ``bzr add --no-recurse`` to add a directory but not
6286
their contents.
6287
6288
* ``bzr --version`` now shows more information if bzr is being run
6289
from a branch.
6290
6291
6292
BUG FIXES:
6293
6294
* Fixed diff format so that added and removed files will be
6295
handled properly by patch. Fix from Lalo Martins.
6296
6297
* Various fixes for files whose names contain spaces or other
6298
metacharacters.
6299
6300
6301
TESTING:
6302
6303
* Converted black-box test suites from Bourne shell into Python;
6304
now run using ``./testbzr``. Various structural improvements to
6305
the tests.
6306
6307
* testbzr by default runs the version of bzr found in the same
6308
directory as the tests, or the one given as the first parameter.
6309
6310
* testbzr also runs the internal tests, so the only command
6311
required to check is just ``./testbzr``.
6312
6313
* testbzr requires python2.4, but can be used to test bzr running
6314
under a different version.
6315
6316
* Tests added for many other changes in this release.
6317
6318
6319
INTERNAL:
6320
6321
* Included ElementTree library upgraded to 1.2.6 by Fredrik Lundh.
6322
6323
* Refactor command functions into Command objects based on HCT by
6324
Scott James Remnant.
6325
6326
* Better help messages for many commands.
6327
6328
* Expose ``bzrlib.open_tracefile()`` to start the tracefile; until
6329
this is called trace messages are just discarded.
6330
6331
* New internal function ``find_touching_revisions()`` and hidden
6332
command touching-revisions trace the changes to a given file.
6333
6334
* Simpler and faster ``compare_inventories()`` function.
6335
6336
* ``bzrlib.open_tracefile()`` takes a tracefilename parameter.
6337
6338
* New AtomicFile class.
6339
6340
* New developer commands ``added``, ``modified``.
6341
6342
6343
PORTABILITY:
6344
6345
* Cope on Windows on python2.3 by using the weaker random seed.
6346
2.4 is now only recommended.
6347
6348
6349
bzr-0.0.4 2005-04-22
6350
---------------------
6351
6352
ENHANCEMENTS:
6353
6354
* 'bzr diff' optionally takes a list of files to diff. Still a bit
6355
basic. Patch from QuantumG.
6356
6357
* More default ignore patterns.
6358
6359
* New 'bzr log --verbose' shows a list of files changed in the
6360
changeset. Patch from Sebastian Cote.
6361
6362
* Roll over ~/.bzr.log if it gets too large.
6363
6364
* Command abbreviations 'ci', 'st', 'stat', '?' based on a patch
6365
by Jason Diamon.
6366
6367
* New 'bzr help commands' based on a patch from Denys Duchier.
6368
6369
6370
CHANGES:
6371
6372
* User email is determined by looking at $BZREMAIL or ~/.bzr.email
6373
or $EMAIL. All are decoded by the locale preferred encoding.
6374
If none of these are present user@hostname is used. The host's
6375
fully-qualified name is not used because that tends to fail when
6376
there are DNS problems.
6377
6378
* New 'bzr whoami' command instead of username user-email.
6379
6380
6381
BUG FIXES:
6382
6383
* Make commit safe for hardlinked bzr trees.
6384
6385
* Some Unicode/locale fixes.
6386
6387
* Partial workaround for ``difflib.unified_diff`` not handling
6388
trailing newlines properly.
6389
6390
6391
INTERNAL:
6392
6393
* Allow docstrings for help to be in PEP0257 format. Patch from
6394
Matt Brubeck.
6395
6396
* More tests in test.sh.
6397
6398
* Write profile data to a temporary file not into working
6399
directory and delete it when done.
6400
6401
* Smaller .bzr.log with process ids.
6402
6403
6404
PORTABILITY:
6405
6406
* Fix opening of ~/.bzr.log on Windows. Patch from Andrew
6407
Bennetts.
6408
6409
* Some improvements in handling paths on Windows, based on a patch
6410
from QuantumG.

6412
6413
bzr-0.0.3 2005-04-06
6414
---------------------
6415
6416
ENHANCEMENTS:
6417
6418
* New "directories" internal command lists versioned directories
6419
in the tree.
6420
6421
* Can now say "bzr commit --help".
6422
6423
* New "rename" command to rename one file to a different name
6424
and/or directory.
6425
6426
* New "move" command to move one or more files into a different
6427
directory.
6428
6429
* New "renames" command lists files renamed since base revision.
6430
6431
* New cat command contributed by janmar.
6432
6433
CHANGES:
6434
6435
* .bzr.log is placed in $HOME (not pwd) and is always written in
6436
UTF-8. (Probably not a completely good long-term solution, but
6437
will do for now.)
6438
6439
PORTABILITY:
6440
6441
* Workaround for difflib bug in Python 2.3 that causes an
6442
exception when comparing empty files. Reported by Erik Toubro
6443
Nielsen.
6444
6445
INTERNAL:
6446
6447
* Refactored inventory storage to insert a root entry at the top.
6448
6449
TESTING:
6450
6451
* Start of shell-based black-box testing in test.sh.

bzr-0.0.2 "black cube" 2005-03-31
6463
-----------------------------------
6464
6465
ENHANCEMENTS:
6466
6467
* Default ignore list extended (see bzrlib/__init__.py).
6468
6469
* Patterns in .bzrignore are now added to the default ignore list,
6470
rather than replacing it.
6471
6472
* Ignore list isn't reread for every file.
6473
6474
* More help topics.
6475
6476
* Reinstate the 'bzr check' command to check invariants of the
6477
branch.
6478
6479
* New 'ignored' command lists which files are ignored and why;
6480
'deleted' lists files deleted in the current working tree.
6481
6482
* Performance improvements.
6483
6484
* New global --profile option.
6485
6486
* Ignore patterns like './config.h' now correctly match files in
6487
the root directory only.
6488
6489
6490
bzr-0.0.1 2005-03-26
6491

6492
6493
ENHANCEMENTS:
6494
6495
* More information from info command.
6496
6497
* Can now say "bzr help COMMAND" for more detailed help.
6498
6499
* Less file flushing and faster performance when writing logs and
6500
committing to stores.
6501
6502
* More useful verbose output from some commands.
6503
6504
BUG FIXES:
6505
6506
* Fix inverted display of 'R' and 'M' during 'commit -v'.
6507
6508
PORTABILITY:
6509
6510
* Include a subset of ElementTree-1.2.20040618 to make
6511
installation easier.
6512
6513
* Fix time.localtime call to work with Python 2.3 (the minimum
6514
supported).

6517
bzr-0.0.0.69 2005-03-22
6518
------------------------
6519
6520
ENHANCEMENTS:
6521
6522
* First public release.
