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
* ``bzr check`` can now be told which elements at a location it should
24
check. (Daniel Watkins)
25
26
* Implemented a custom ``walkdirs_utf8`` implementation for win32.
27
This uses a pyrex extension to get direct access to the
28
``FindFirstFileW`` style apis, rather than using ``listdir`` +
29
``lstat``. Shows a very strong improvement in commands like
30
``status`` and ``diff`` which have to iterate the working tree.
31
Anywhere from 2x-6x faster depending on the size of the tree (bigger
32
trees, bigger benefit.) (John Arbash Meinel)
33
34
* Fetching data between repositories that have the same model but no
35
optimised fetcher will not reserialise all the revisions, increasing
36
performance. (Robert Collins, John Arbash Meinel)
37
38
BUG FIXES:
39
40
* ``bzr branch --stacked`` ensures the destination branch format can
41
support stacking, even if the origin does not.
42
(Martin Pool)
43
44
* Fix a test case that was failing if encoding wasn't UTF-8.
45
(John Arbash Meinel, #247585)
46
47
* Fix "no buffer space available" error when branching with the new
48
smart server protocol to or from Windows.
49
(Andrew Bennetts, #246180)
50
51
52
DOCUMENTATION:
53
54
55
TESTING:
56
57
58
API CHANGES:
59
60
* The generic fetch code now uses three attributes on Repository objects
61
to control fetch. The streams requested are controlled via :
62
``_fetch_order`` and ``_fetch_uses_deltas``. Setting these
63
appropriately allows different repository implementations to recieve
64
data in their optimial form. If the ``_fetch_reconcile`` is set then
65
a reconcile operation is triggered at the end of the fetch.
66
(Robert Collins)
67
68
INTERNALS:
69
70
* RuleSearchers return () instead of [] now when there are no matches.
71
(Ian Clatworthy)
72
73
74
bzr 1.6beta3 2008-07-17
75
-----------------------
76
77
FEATURES:
78
79
* New ``pre_change_branch_tip`` hook that is called before the
80
branch tip is moved, while the branch is write-locked. See the User
81
Reference for signature details. (Andrew Bennetts)
82
83
* Rule-based preferences can now be defined for selected files in
84
selected branches, allowing commands and plugins to provide
85
custom behaviour for files matching defined patterns.
86
See ``Rule-based preferences`` (part of ``Configuring Bazaar``)
87
in the User Guide and ``bzr help rules`` for more information.
88
(Ian Clatworthy)
89
90
* Sites may suggest a branch to stack new branches on. (Aaron Bentley)
91
92
* Stacked branches are now supported. See ``bzr help branch`` and
93
``bzr help push``. (Robert Collins)
94
95
IMPROVEMENTS:
96
97
* ``bzr export --format=tgz --root=NAME -`` to export a gzipped tarball
98
to stdout; also ``tar`` and ``tbz2``.
99
(Martin Pool)
100
101
* ``bzr (re)merge --weave`` will now use a standard Weave algorithm,
102
rather than the annotation-based merge it was using. It does so by
103
building up a Weave of the important texts, without needing to build
104
the full ancestry. (John Arbash Meinel, #238895)
105
106
* ``bzr send`` documents and better supports ``emacsclient`` (proper
107
escaping of mail headers and handling of the MUA Mew).
108
(Christophe Troestler)
109
110
* Remembered locations can be specified by aliases, e.g. :parent, :public,
111
:submit. (Aaron Bentley)
112
113
* The smart protocol now has improved support for setting branches'
114
revision info directly. This makes operations like push
115
faster. The new request method name is
116
``Branch.set_last_revision_ex``. (Andrew Bennetts)
117
118
* New registry for log properties handles and the method in
119
LongLogFormatter to display the custom properties returned by the
120
registered handlers. (Guillermo Gonzalez, #162469)
121
122
BUG FIXES:
123
124
* Bazaar is now able to be a client to the web server of IIS 6 and 7.
125
The broken implementations of RFC822 in Python and RFC2046 in IIS
126
combined with boundary-line checking in Bazaar previously made this
127
impossible. (NB, IIS 5 does not suffer from this problem).
128
(Adrian Wilkins, #247585)
129
130
* ``bzr log --long`` with a ghost in your mainline now handles that
131
ghost properly. (John Arbash Meinel, #243536)
132
133
* ``check`` handles the split-up .bzr layout correctly, so no longer
134
requires a branch to be present.
135
(Daniel Watkins, #64783)
136
137
* ``bzr serve --directory=/`` now correctly allows the whole
138
filesystem to be accessed on Windows, not just the root of the drive
139
that Python is running from.
140
(Adrian Wilkins, #240910)
141
142
* Clearer message about how to set the PYTHONPATH if bzrlib can't be
143
loaded.
144
(Martin Pool, #205230)
145
146
* Errors about missing libraries are now shown without a traceback,
147
and with a suggestion to install the library. The full traceback is
148
still in ``.bzr.log`` and can be shown with ``-Derror``.
149
(Martin Pool, #240161)
150
151
* Fixed problem in branching from smart server.
152
(#249256, Michael Hudson, Martin Pool)
153
154
* Fetch from a stacked branch copies all required data.
155
(Aaron Bentley, #248506)
156
157
* Handle urls such as ftp://user@host.com@www.host.com where the user
158
name contains an @.
159
(Neil Martinsen-Burrell, #228058)
160
161
* ``needs_read_lock`` and ``needs_write_lock`` now suppress an error during
162
``unlock`` if there was an error in the original function. This helps
163
most when there is a failure with a smart server action, since often the
164
connection closes and we cannot unlock.
165
(Andrew Bennetts, John Arbash Meinel, #125784)
166
167
* Obsolete hidden command ``bzr fetch`` removed.
168
(Martin Pool, #172870)
169
170
* Raise the correct exception when doing ``-rbefore:0`` or ``-c0``.
171
(John Arbash Meinel, #239933)
172
173
* You can now compare file revisions in Windows diff programs from
174
Cygwin Bazaar.
175
(Matt McClure, #209281)
176
177
* revision_history now tolerates mainline ghosts for Branch format 6.
178
(Aaron Bentley, #235055)
179
180
* Set locale from environment for third party libs.
181
(Martin von Gagern, #128496)
182
183
* Handle a file turning in to a directory in TreeTransform.
184
(James Westby, #248448)
185
186
DOCUMENTATION:
187
188
* Added *Using stacked branches* to the User Guide.
189
(Ian Clatworthy)
190
191
* Updated developer documentation.
192
(Martin Pool)
193
194
TESTING:
195
196
* ``-Dmemory`` will cause /proc/PID/status to be catted before bzr
197
exits, allowing low-key analysis of peak memory use. (Robert Collins)
198
199
* ``TestCaseWithTransport.make_branch_and_tree`` tries harder to return
200
a tree with a ``branch`` attribute of the right format. This was
201
preventing some ``RemoteBranch`` tests from actually running with
202
``RemoteBranch`` instances. (Andrew Bennetts)
203
204
API CHANGES:
205
206
* Removed ``Repository.text_store``, ``control_store``, etc. Instead,
207
there are new attributes ``texts, inventories, revisions,
208
signatures``, each of which is a ``VersionedFiles``. See the
209
Repository docstring for more details.
210
(Robert Collins)
211
212
* ``Branch.pull`` now accepts an ``_override_hook_target`` optional
213
parameter. If you have a subclass of ``Branch`` that overrides
214
``pull`` then you should add this parameter. (Andrew Bennetts)
215
216
* ``bzrlib.check.check()`` has been deprecated in favour of the more
217
aptly-named ``bzrlib.check.check_branch()``.
218
(Daniel Watkins)
219
220
* ``Tree.print_file`` and ``Repository.print_file`` are deprecated.
221
These methods are bad APIs because they write directly to sys.stdout.
222
bzrlib does not use them internally, and there are no direct tests
223
for them. (Alexander Belchenko)
224
225
INTERNALS:
226
227
* ``cat`` command no longer uses ``Tree.print_file()`` internally.
228
(Alexander Belchenko)
229
230
* New class method ``BzrDir.open_containing_tree_branch_or_repository``
231
which eases the discovery of the tree, the branch and the repository
232
containing a given location.
233
(Daniel Watkins)
234
235
* New ``versionedfile.KeyMapper`` interface to abstract out the access to
236
underlying .knit/.kndx etc files in repositories with partitioned
237
storage. (Robert Collins)
238
239
* Obsolete developer-use command ``weave-join`` has been removed.
240
(Robert Collins)
241
242
* ``RemoteToOtherFetcher`` and ``get_data_stream_for_search`` removed,
243
to support new ``VersionedFiles`` layering.
244
(Robert Collins)
245
246
247
bzr 1.6beta2 2008-06-10
248
-----------------------
249
250
This release contains further progress towards our 1.6 goals of shallow
251
repositories, and contains a fix for some user-affecting bugs in the
252
repository layer. Building working trees during checkout and branch is
253
now faster.
254
255
BUG FIXES:
256
257
* Avoid KnitCorrupt error extracting inventories from some repositories.
258
(The data is not corrupt; an internal check is detecting a problem
259
reading from the repository.)
260
(Martin Pool, Andrew Bennetts, Robert Collins, #234748)
261
262
* ``bzr status`` was breaking if you merged the same revision twice.
263
(John Arbash Meinel, #235407)
264
265
* Fix infinite loop consuming 100% CPU when a connection is lost while
266
reading a response body via the smart protocol v1 or v2.
267
(Andrew Bennetts)
268
269
* Inserting a bundle which changes the contents of a file with no trailing
270
end of line, causing a knit snapshot in a 'knits' repository will no longer
271
cause KnitCorrupt. (Robert Collins)
272
273
* ``RemoteBranch.pull`` needs to return the ``self._real_branch``'s
274
pull result. It was instead just returning None, which breaks ``bzr
275
pull``. (John Arbash Meinel, #238149)
276
277
* Sanitize branch nick before using it as an attachment filename in
278
``bzr send``. (Lukáš Lalinský, #210218)
279
280
* Squash ``inv_entry.symlink_target`` to a plain string when
281
generating DirState details. This prevents from getting a
282
``UnicodeError`` when you have symlinks and non-ascii filenames.
283
(John Arbash Meinel, #135320)
284
285
IMPROVEMENTS:
286
287
* Added the 'alias' command to set/unset and display aliases. (Tim Penhey)
288
289
* ``added``, ``modified``, and ``unknowns`` behaviour made consistent (all three
290
now quote paths where required). Added ``--null`` option to ``added`` and
291
``modified`` (for null-separated unknowns, use ``ls --unknown --null``)
292
(Adrian Wilkins)
293
294
* Faster branching (1.09x) and lightweight checkouts (1.06x) on large trees.
295
(Ian Clatworthy, Aaron Bentley)
296
297
DOCUMENTATION:
298
299
* Added *Bazaar Zen* section to the User Guide. (Ian Clatworthy)
300
301
TESTING:
302
303
* Fix the test HTTPServer to be isolated from chdir calls made while it is
304
running, allowing it to be used in blackbox tests. (Robert Collins)
305
306
API CHANGES:
307
308
* ``WorkingTree.set_parent_(ids/trees)`` will now filter out revisions
309
which are in the ancestry of other revisions. So if you merge the same
310
tree twice, or merge an ancestor of an existing merge, it will only
311
record the newest. (If you merge a descendent, it will replace its
312
ancestor). (John Arbash Meinel, #235407)
313
314
* ``RepositoryPolicy.__init__`` now requires stack_on and stack_on_pwd,
315
through the derived classes do not. (Aaron Bentley)
316
317
INTERNALS:
318
319
* ``bzrlib.bzrdir.BzrDir.sprout`` now accepts ``stacked`` to control
320
creating stacked branches. (Robert Collins)
321
322
* Knit record serialisation is now stricter on what it will accept, to
323
guard against potential internal bugs, or broken input. (Robert Collins)
324
325
326
bzr 1.6beta1 2008-06-02
327
-----------------------
328
329
330
Commands that work on the revision history such as push, pull, missing,
331
uncommit and log are now substantially faster. This release adds a
332
translation of some of the user documentation into Spanish. (Contributions of
333
other translations would be very welcome.) Bazaar 1.6beta1 adds a new network
334
protocol which is used by default and which allows for more efficient transfers
335
and future extensions.
336
337
338
NOTES WHEN UPGRADING:
339
340
* There is a new version of the network protocol used for bzr://, bzr+ssh://
341
and bzr+http:// connections. This will allow more efficient requests and
342
responses, and more graceful fallback when a server is too old to
343
recognise a request from a more recent client. Bazaar 1.6 will
344
interoperate with 0.16 and later versions, but servers should be upgraded
345
when possible. Bazaar 1.6 no longer interoperates with 0.15 and earlier via
346
these protocols. Use alternatives like SFTP or upgrade those servers.
347
(Andrew Bennetts, #83935)
348
349
CHANGES:
350
351
* Deprecation warnings will not be suppressed when running ``bzr selftest``
352
so that developers can see if their code is using deprecated functions.
353
(John Arbash Meinel)
354
355
FEATURES:
356
357
* Adding ``-Derror`` will now display a traceback when a plugin fails to
358
load. (James Westby)
359
360
IMPROVEMENTS:
361
362
* ``bzr branch/push/pull -r XXX`` now have a helper function for finding
363
the revno of the new revision (``Graph.find_distance_to_null``). This
364
should make something like ``bzr branch -r -100`` in a shared, no-trees
365
repository much snappier. (John Arbash Meinel)
366
367
* ``bzr log --short -r X..Y`` no longer needs to access the full revision
368
history. This makes it noticeably faster when logging the last few
369
revisions. (John Arbash Meinel)
370
371
* ``bzr ls`` now accepts ``-V`` as an alias for ``--versioned``.
372
(Jerad Cramp, #165086)
373
374
* ``bzr missing`` uses the new ``Graph.find_unique_ancestors`` and
375
``Graph.find_differences`` to determine missing revisions without having
376
to search the whole ancestry. (John Arbash Meinel, #174625)
377
378
* ``bzr uncommit`` now uses partial history access, rather than always
379
extracting the full revision history for a branch. This makes it
380
resolve the appropriate revisions much faster (in testing it drops
381
uncommit from 1.5s => 0.4s). It also means ``bzr log --short`` is one
382
step closer to not using full revision history.
383
(John Arbash Meinel, #172649)
384
385
BUGFIXES:
386
387
* ``bzr merge --lca`` should handle when two revisions have no common
388
ancestor other than NULL_REVISION. (John Arbash Meinel, #235715)
389
390
* ``bzr status`` was breaking if you merged the same revision twice.
391
(John Arbash Meinel, #235407)
392
393
* ``bzr push`` with both ``--overwrite`` and ``-r NNN`` options no longer
394
fails. (Andrew Bennetts, #234229)
395
396
* Correctly track the base URL of a smart medium when using bzr+http://
397
URLs, which was causing spurious "No repository present" errors with
398
branches in shared repositories accessed over bzr+http.
399
(Andrew Bennetts, #230550)
400
401
* Define ``_remote_is_at_least_1_2`` on ``SmartClientMedium`` so that all
402
implementations have the attribute. Fixes 'PyCurlTransport' object has no
403
attribute '_remote_is_at_least_1_2' attribute errors.
404
(Andrew Bennetts, #220806)
405
406
* Failure to delete an obsolete pack file should just give a warning
407
message, not a fatal error. It may for example fail if the file is still
408
in use by another process.
409
(Martin Pool)
410
411
* Fix MemoryError during large fetches over HTTP by limiting the amount of
412
data we try to read per ``recv`` call. The problem was observed with
413
Windows and a proxy, but might affect other environments as well.
414
(Eric Holmberg, #215426)
415
416
* Handle old merge directives correctly in Merger.from_mergeable. Stricter
417
get_parent_map requirements exposed a latent bug here. (Aaron Bentley)
418
419
* Issue a warning and ignore passwords declared in authentication.conf when
420
used for an ssh scheme (sftp or bzr+ssh).
421
(Vincent Ladeuil, #203186)
422
423
* Make both http implementations raise appropriate exceptions on 403
424
Forbidden when POSTing smart requests.
425
(Vincent Ladeuil, #230223)
426
427
* Properly *title* header names in http requests instead of capitalizing
428
them.
429
(Vincent Ladeuil, #229076)
430
431
* The "Unable to obtain lock" error message now also suggests using
432
``bzr break-lock`` to fix it. (Martin Albisetti, #139202)
433
434
* Treat an encoding of '' as ascii; this can happen when bzr is run
435
under vim on Mac OS X.
436
(Neil Martinsen-Burrell)
437
438
* ``VersionedFile.make_mpdiffs()`` was raising an exception that wasn't in
439
scope. (Daniel Fischer #235687)
440
441
DOCUMENTATION:
442
443
* Added directory structure and started translation of docs in spanish.
444
(Martin Albisetti, Lucio Albenga)
445
446
* Incorporate feedback from Jelmer Vernooij and Neil Martinsen-Burrell
447
on the plugin and integration chapters of the User Guide.
448
(Ian Clatworthy)
449
450
* More Bazaar developer documentation about packaging and release process,
451
and about use of Python reprs.
452
(Martin Pool, Martin Albisetti)
453
454
* Updated Tortise strategy document. (Mark Hammond)
455
456
TESTING:
457
458
* ``bzrlib.tests.adapt_tests`` was broken and unused - it has been fixed.
459
(Robert Collins)
460
461
* Fix the test HTTPServer to be isolated from chdir calls made while it is
462
running, allowing it to be used in blackbox tests. (Robert Collins)
463
464
* New helper function for splitting test suites
465
``split_suite_by_condition``. (Robert Collins)
466
467
INTERNALS:
468
469
* ``Branch.missing_revisions`` has been deprecated. Similar functionality
470
can be obtained using ``bzrlib.missing.find_unmerged``. The api was
471
fairly broken, and the function was unused, so we are getting rid of it.
472
(John Arbash Meinel)
473
474
API CHANGES:
475
476
* ``Branch.abspath`` is deprecated; use the Tree or Transport
477
instead. (Martin Pool)
478
479
* ``Branch.update_revisions`` now takes an optional ``Graph``
480
object. This can be used by ``update_revisions`` when it is
481
checking ancestry, and allows callers to prefer request to go to a
482
local branch. (John Arbash Meinel)
483
484
* Branch, Repository, Tree and BzrDir should expose a Transport as an
485
attribute if they have one, rather than having it indirectly accessible
486
as ``.control_files._transport``. This doesn't add a requirement
487
to support a Transport in cases where it was not needed before;
488
it just simplifies the way it is reached. (Martin Pool)
489
490
* ``bzr missing --mine-only`` will return status code 0 if you have no
491
new revisions, but the remote does. Similarly for ``--theirs-only``.
492
The new code only checks one side, so it doesn't know if the other
493
side has changes. This seems more accurate with the request anyway.
494
It also changes the output to print '[This|Other] branch is up to
495
date.' rather than displaying nothing. (John Arbash Meinel)
496
497
* ``LockableFiles.put_utf8``, ``put_bytes`` and ``controlfilename``
498
are now deprecated in favor of using Transport operations.
499
(Martin Pool)
500
501
* Many methods on ``VersionedFile``, ``Repository`` and in
502
``bzrlib.revision`` deprecated before bzrlib 1.5 have been removed.
503
(Robert Collins)
504
505
* ``RevisionSpec.wants_revision_history`` can be set to False for a given
506
``RevisionSpec``. This will disable the existing behavior of passing in
507
the full revision history to ``self._match_on``. Useful for specs that
508
don't actually need access to the full history. (John Arbash Meinel)
509
510
* The constructors of ``SmartClientMedium`` and its subclasses now require a
511
``base`` parameter. ``SmartClientMedium`` implementations now also need
512
to provide a ``remote_path_from_transport`` method. (Andrew Bennetts)
513
514
* The default permissions for creating new files and directories
515
should now be obtained from ``BzrDir._get_file_mode()`` and
516
``_get_dir_mode()``, rather than from LockableFiles. The ``_set_file_mode``
517
and ``_set_dir_mode`` variables on LockableFiles which were advertised
518
as a way for plugins to control this are no longer consulted.
519
(Martin Pool)
520
521
* ``VersionedFile.join`` is deprecated. This method required local
522
instances of both versioned file objects and was thus hostile to being
523
used for streaming from a smart server. The new get_record_stream and
524
insert_record_stream are meant to efficiently replace this method.
525
(Robert Collins)
526
527
* ``WorkingTree.set_parent_(ids/trees)`` will now filter out revisions
528
which are in the ancestry of other revisions. So if you merge the same
529
tree twice, or merge an ancestor of an existing merge, it will only
530
record the newest. (If you merge a descendent, it will replace its
531
ancestor). (John Arbash Meinel, #235407)
532
533
* ``WorkingTreeFormat2.stub_initialize_remote`` is now private.
534

bzr 1.5 2008-05-16
538
------------------
539
540
This release of Bazaar includes several updates to the documentation, and fixes
541
to prepare for making rich root support the default format. Many bugs have been
542
squashed, including fixes to log, bzr+ssh inter-operation with older servers.
543
544
CHANGES:
545
546
* Suppress deprecation warnings when bzrlib is a 'final' release. This way
547
users of packaged software won't be bothered with DeprecationWarnings,
548
but developers and testers will still see them. (John Arbash Meinel)
549
550
DOCUMENTATION:
551
552
* Incorporate feedback from Jelmer Vernooij and Neil Martinsen-Burrell
553
on the plugin and integration chapters of the User Guide.

558
---------------------
559
560
NOTES WHEN UPGRADING:
561
562
CHANGES:
563
564
* Broader support of GNU Emacs mail clients. Set
565
``mail_client=emacsclient`` in your bazaar.conf and ``send`` will pop the
566
bundle in a mail buffer according to the value of ``mail-user-agent``
567
variable. (Xavier Maillard)
568
569
FEATURES:
570
571
IMPROVEMENTS:
572
573
* Diff now handles revision specs like "branch:" and "submit:" more
574
efficiently. (Aaron Bentley, #202928)
575
576
* More friendly error given when attempt to start the smart server
577
on an address already in use. (Andrea Corbellini, #200575)
578
579
* Pull completes much faster when there is nothing to pull.
580
(Aaron Bentley)
581
582
BUGFIXES:
583
584
* Authentication.conf can define sections without password.
585
(Vincent Ladeuil, #199440)
586
587
* Avoid muttering every time a child update does not cause a progress bar
588
update. (John Arbash Meinel, #213771)
589
590
* ``Branch.reconcile()`` is now implemented. This allows ``bzr reconcile``
591
to fix when a Branch has a non-canonical mainline history. ``bzr check``
592
also detects this condition. (John Arbash Meinel, #177855)
593
594
* ``bzr log -r ..X bzr://`` was failing, because it was getting a request
595
for ``revision_id=None`` which was not a string.
596
(John Arbash Meinel, #211661)
597
598
* ``bzr commit`` now works with Microsoft's FTP service.
599
(Andreas Deininger)
600
601
* Catch definitions outside sections in authentication.conf.
602
(Vincent Ladeuil, #217650)
603
604
* Conversion from non-rich-root to rich-root(-pack) updates inventory
605
sha1s, even when bundles are used. (Aaron Bentley, #181391)
606
607
* Conversion from non-rich-root to rich-root(-pack) works correctly even
608
though search keys are not topologically sorted. (Aaron Bentley)
609
610
* Conversion from non-rich-root to rich-root(-pack) works even when a
611
parent revision has a different root id. (Aaron Bentley, #177874)
612
613
* Disable strace testing until strace is fixed (see bug #103133) and emit a
614
warning when selftest ends to remind us of leaking tests.
615
(Vincent Ladeuil, #226769)
616
617
* Fetching all revisions from a repository does not cause pack collisions.
618
(Robert Collins, Aaron Bentley, #212908)
619
620
* Fix error about "attempt to add line-delta in non-delta knit".
621
(Andrew Bennetts, #217701)
622
623
* Pushing a branch in "dirstate" format (Branch5) over bzr+ssh would break
624
if the remote server was < version 1.2. This was due to a bug in the
625
RemoteRepository.get_parent_map() fallback code.
626
(John Arbash Meinel, #214894)
627
628
* Remove leftover code in ``bzr_branch`` that inappropriately creates
629
a ``branch-name`` file in the branch control directory.
630
(Martin Pool)
631
632
* Set SO_REUSEADDR on server sockets of ``bzr serve`` to avoid problems
633
rebinding the socket when starting the server a second time.
634
(John Arbash Meinel, Martin Pool, #164288)
635
636
* Severe performance degradation in fetching from knit repositories to
637
knits and packs due to parsing the entire revisions.kndx on every graph
638
walk iteration fixed by using the Repository.get_graph API. There was
639
another regression in knit => knit fetching which re-read the index for
640
every revision each side had in common.
641
(Robert Collins, John Arbash Meinel)
642
643
* When logging the changes to a particular file, there was a bug if there
644
were ghosts in the revision ancestry. (John Arbash Meinel, #209948)
645
646
* xs4all's ftp server returns a temporary error when trying to list an
647
empty directory, rather than returning an empty list. Adding a
648
workaround so that we don't get spurious failures.
649
(John Arbash Meinel, #215522)
650
651
DOCUMENTATION:
652
653
* Expanded the User Guide to include new chapters on popular plugins and
654
integrating Bazaar into your environment. The *Best practices* chapter
655
was renamed to *Miscellaneous topics* as suggested by community
656
feedback as well. (Ian Clatworthy)
657
658
* Document outlining strategies for TortoiseBzr. (Mark Hammond)
659
660
* Improved the documentation on hooks. (Ian Clatworthy)
661
662
* Update authentication docs regarding ssh agents.
663
(Vincent Ladeuil, #183705)
664
665
TESTING:
666
667
* Add ``thread_name_suffix`` parameter to SmartTCPServer_for_testing, to
668
make it easy to identify which test spawned a thread with an unhandled
669
exception. (Andrew Bennetts)
670
671
* New ``--debugflag``/``-E`` option to ``bzr selftest`` for setting
672
options for debugging tests, these are complementary to the the -D
673
options. The ``-Dselftest_debug`` global option has been replaced by the
674
``-E=allow_debug`` option for selftest. (Andrew Bennetts)
675
676
* Parameterised test ids are preserved correctly to aid diagnosis of test
677
failures. (Robert Collins, Andrew Bennetts)
678
679
* selftest now accepts --starting-with <id> to load only the tests whose id
680
starts with the one specified. This greatly speeds up running the test
681
suite on a limited set of tests and can be used to run the tests for a
682
single module, a single class or even a single test. (Vincent Ladeuil)
683
684
* The test suite modules have been modified to define load_tests() instead
685
of test_suite(). That speeds up selective loading (via --load-list)
686
significantly and provides many examples on how to migrate (grep for
687
load_tests). (Vincent Ladeuil)
688
689
INTERNALS:
690
691
* ``Hooks.install_hook`` is now deprecated in favour of
692
``Hooks.install_named_hook`` which adds a required ``name`` parameter, to
693
avoid having to call ``Hooks.name_hook``. (Daniel Watkins)
694
695
* Implement xml8 serializer. (Aaron Bentley)
696
697
* New form ``@deprecated_method(deprecated_in(1, 5, 0))`` for making
698
deprecation wrappers. (Martin Pool)
699
700
* ``Repository.revision_parents`` is now deprecated in favour of
701
``Repository.get_parent_map([revid])[revid]``. (Jelmer Vernooij)
702
703
* The Python ``assert`` statement is no longer used in Bazaar source, and
704
a test checks this. (Martin Pool)
705
706
API CHANGES:
707
708
* ``bzrlib.status.show_pending_merges`` requires the repository to be
709
locked by the caller. Callers should have been doing it anyway, but it
710
will now raise an exception if they do not. (John Arbash Meinel)
711
712
* Repository.get_data_stream, Repository.get_data_stream_for_search(),
713
Repository.get_deltas_for_revsions(), Repository.revision_trees(),
714
Repository.item_keys_introduced_by() no longer take read locks.
715
(Aaron Bentley)
716
717
* ``LockableFiles.get_utf8`` and ``.get`` are deprecated, as a start
718
towards removing LockableFiles and ``.control_files`` entirely.
719
(Martin Pool)
720
721
* Methods deprecated prior to 1.1 have been removed.

bzr 1.4 2008-04-28
726
------------------
727
728
This release of Bazaar includes handy improvements to the speed of log and
729
status, new options for several commands, improved documentation, and better
730
hooks, including initial code for server-side hooks. A number of bugs have
731
been fixed, particularly in interoperability between different formats or
732
different releases of Bazaar over there network. There's been substantial
733
internal work in both the repository and network code to enable new features
734
and faster performance.
735
736
BUG FIXES:
737
738
* Pushing a branch in "dirstate" format (Branch5) over bzr+ssh would break
739
if the remote server was < version 1.2. This was due to a bug in the
740
RemoteRepository.get_parent_map() fallback code.

bzr 1.4rc2 2008-04-21
745
---------------------
746
747
BUG FIXES:
748
749
* ``bzr log -r ..X bzr://`` was failing, because it was getting a request
750
for ``revision_id=None`` which was not a string.
751
(John Arbash Meinel, #211661)
752
753
* Fixed a bug in handling ghost revisions when logging changes in a
754
particular file. (John Arbash Meinel, #209948)
755
756
* Fix error about "attempt to add line-delta in non-delta knit".
757
(Andrew Bennetts, #205156)
758
759
* Fixed performance degradation in fetching from knit repositories to
760
knits and packs due to parsing the entire revisions.kndx on every graph
761
walk iteration fixed by using the Repository.get_graph API. There was
762
another regression in knit => knit fetching which re-read the index for

bzr 1.4rc1 2008-04-11
768
---------------------
769
770
CHANGES:
771
772
* bzr main script cannot be imported (Benjamin Peterson)
773
774
* On Linux bzr additionally looks for plugins in arch-independent site
775
directory. (Toshio Kuratomi)
776
777
* The ``set_rh`` branch hook is now deprecated. Please migrate
778
any plugins using this hook to use an alternative, e.g.
779
``post_change_branch_tip``. (Ian Clatworthy)
780
781
* When a plugin cannot be loaded as the file path is not a valid
782
python module name bzr will now strip a ``bzr_`` prefix from the
783
front of the suggested name, as many plugins (e.g. bzr-svn)
784
want to be installed without this prefix. It is a common mistake
785
to have a folder named "bzr-svn" for that plugin, especially
786
as this is what bzr branch lp:bzr-svn will give you. (James Westby,
787
Andrew Cowie)
788
789
* UniqueIntegerBugTracker now appends bug-ids instead of joining
790
them to the base URL. Plugins that register bug trackers may
791
need a trailing / added to the base URL if one is not already there.
792
(James Wesby, Andrew Cowie)
793
794
FEATURES:
795
796
* Added start_commit hook for mutable trees. (Jelmer Vernooij, #186422)
797
798
* ``status`` now accepts ``--no-pending`` to show the status without
799
listing pending merges, which speeds up the command a lot on large
800
histories. (James Westby, #202830)
801
802
* New ``post_change_branch_tip`` hook that is called after the
803
branch tip is moved but while the branch is still write-locked.
804
See the User Reference for signature details.
805
(Ian Clatworthy, James Henstridge)
806
807
* Reconfigure can convert a branch to be standalone or to use a shared
808
repository. (Aaron Bentley)
809
810
IMPROVEMENTS:
811
812
* The smart protocol now has support for setting branches' revision info
813
directly. This should make operations like push slightly faster, and is a
814
step towards server-side hooks. The new request method name is
815
``Branch.set_last_revision_info``. (Andrew Bennetts)
816
817
* ``bzr commit --fixes`` now recognises "gnome" as a tag by default.
818
(James Westby, Andrew Cowie)
819
820
* ``bzr switch`` will attempt to find branches to switch to relative to the
821
current branch. E.g. ``bzr switch branchname`` will look for
822
``current_branch/../branchname``. (Robert Collins, Jelmer Vernooij,
823
Wouter van Heyst)
824
825
* Diff is now more specific about execute-bit changes it describes
826
(Chad Miller)
827
828
* Fetching data over HTTP is a bit faster when urllib is used. This is done
829
by forcing it to recv 64k at a time when reading lines in HTTP headers,
830
rather than just 1 byte at a time. (Andrew Bennetts)
831
832
* Log --short and --line are much faster when -r is not specified.
833
(Aaron Bentley)
834
835
* Merge is faster. We no longer check a file's existence unnecessarily
836
when merging the execute bit. (Aaron Bentley)
837
838
* ``bzr status`` on an explicit list of files no longer shows pending
839
merges, making it much faster on large trees. (John Arbash Meinel)
840
841
* The launchpad directory service now warns the user if they have not set
842
their launchpad login and are trying to resolve a URL using it, just
843
in case they want to do a write operation with it. (James Westby)
844
845
* The smart protocol client is slightly faster, because it now only queries
846
the server for the protocol version once per connection. Also, the HTTP
847
transport will now automatically probe for and use a smart server if
848
one is present. You can use the new ``nosmart+`` transport decorator
849
to get the old behaviour. (Andrew Bennetts)
850
851
* The ``version`` command takes a ``--short`` option to print just the
852
version number, for easier use in scripts. (Martin Pool)
853
854
* Various operations with revision specs and commands that calculate
855
revnos and revision ids are faster. (John A. Meinel, Aaron Bentley)
856
857
BUGFIXES:
858
859
* Add ``root_client_path`` parameter to SmartWSGIApp and
860
SmartServerRequest. This makes it possible to publish filesystem
861
locations that don't exactly match URL paths. SmartServerRequest
862
subclasses should use the new ``translate_client_path`` and
863
``transport_from_client_path`` methods when dealing with paths received
864
from a client to take this into account. (Andrew Bennetts, #124089)
865
866
* ``bzr mv a b`` can be now used also to rename previously renamed
867
directories, not only files. (Lukáš Lalinský, #107967)
868
869
* ``bzr uncommit --local`` can now remove revisions from the local
870
branch to be symmetric with ``bzr commit --local``.
871
(John Arbash Meinel, #93412)
872
873
* Don't ask for a password if there is no real terminal.
874
(Alexander Belchenko, #69851)
875
876
* Fix a bug causing a ValueError crash in ``parse_line_delta_iter`` when
877
fetching revisions from a knit to pack repository or vice versa using
878
bzr:// (including over http or ssh).
879
(#208418, Andrew Bennetts, Martin Pool, Robert Collins)
880
881
* Fixed ``_get_line`` in ``bzrlib.smart.medium``, which was buggy. Also
882
fixed ``_get_bytes`` in the same module to use the push back buffer.
883
These bugs had no known impact in normal use, but were problematic for
884
developers working on the code, and were likely to cause real bugs sooner
885
or later. (Andrew Bennetts)
886
887
* Implement handling of basename parameter for DefaultMail. (James Westby)
888
889
* Incompatibility with Paramiko versions newer than 1.7.2 was fixed.
890
(Andrew Bennetts, #213425)
891
892
* Launchpad locations (lp: URLs) can be pulled. (Aaron Bentley, #181945)
893
894
* Merges that add files to deleted root directories complete. They
895
do create conflicts. (Aaron Bentley, #210092)
896
897
* vsftp's return ``550 RNFR command failed.`` supported.
898
(Marcus Trautwig, #129786)
899
900
DOCUMENTATION:
901
902
* Improved documentation on send/merge relationship. (Peter Schuller)
903
904
* Minor fixes to the User Guide. (Matthew Fuller)
905
906
* Reduced the evangelism in the User Guide. (Ian Clatworthy)
907
908
* Added Integrating with Bazaar document for developers (Martin Albisetti)
909
910
API BREAKS:
911
912
* Attempting to pull data from a ghost aware repository (e.g. knits) into a
913
non-ghost aware repository such as weaves will now fail if there are
914
ghosts. (Robert Collins)
915
916
* ``KnitVersionedFile`` no longer accepts an ``access_mode`` parameter, and
917
now requires the ``index`` and ``access_method`` parameters to be
918
supplied. A compatible shim has been kept in the new function
919
``knit.make_file_knit``. (Robert Collins)
920
921
* Log formatters must now provide log_revision instead of show and
922
show_merge_revno methods. The latter had been deprecated since the 0.17
923
release. (James Westby)
924
925
* ``LoopbackSFTP`` is now called ``SocketAsChannelAdapter``.
926
(Andrew Bennetts)
927
928
* ``osutils.backup_file`` is removed. (Alexander Belchenko)
929
930
* ``Repository.get_revision_graph`` is deprecated, with no replacement
931
method. The method was size(history) and not desirable. (Robert Collins)
932
933
* ``revision.revision_graph`` is deprecated, with no replacement function.
934
The function was size(history) and not desirable. (Robert Collins)
935
936
* ``Transport.get_shared_medium`` is deprecated. Use
937
``Transport.get_smart_medium`` instead. (Andrew Bennetts)
938
939
* ``VersionedFile`` factories now accept a get_scope parameter rather
940
than using a call to ``transaction_finished``, allowing the removal of
941
the fixed list of versioned files per repository. (Robert Collins)
942
943
* ``VersionedFile.annotate_iter`` is deprecated. While in principle this
944
allowed lower memory use, all users of annotations wanted full file
945
annotations, and there is no storage format suitable for incremental
946
line-by-line annotation. (Robert Collins)
947
948
* ``VersionedFile.clone_text`` is deprecated. This performance optimisation
949
is no longer used - reading the content of a file that is undergoing a
950
file level merge to identical state on two branches is rare enough, and
951
not expensive enough to special case. (Robert Collins)
952
953
* ``VersionedFile.clear_cache`` and ``enable_cache`` are deprecated.
954
These methods added significant complexity to the ``VersionedFile``
955
implementation, but were only used for optimising fetches from knits -
956
which can be done from outside the knit layer, or via a caching
957
decorator. As knits are not the default format, the complexity is no
958
longer worth paying. (Robert Collins)
959
960
* ``VersionedFile.create_empty`` is removed. This method presupposed a
961
sensible mapping to a transport for individual files, but pack backed
962
versioned files have no such mapping. (Robert Collins)
963
964
* ``VersionedFile.get_graph`` is deprecated, with no replacement method.
965
The method was size(history) and not desirable. (Robert Collins)
966
967
* ``VersionedFile.get_graph_with_ghosts`` is deprecated, with no
968
replacement method. The method was size(history) and not desirable.
969
(Robert Collins)
970
971
* ``VersionedFile.get_parents`` is deprecated, please use
972
``VersionedFile.get_parent_map``. (Robert Collins)
973
974
* ``VersionedFile.get_sha1`` is deprecated, please use
975
``VersionedFile.get_sha1s``. (Robert Collins)
976
977
* ``VersionedFile.has_ghost`` is now deprecated, as it is both expensive
978
and unused outside of a single test. (Robert Collins)
979
980
* ``VersionedFile.iter_parents`` is now deprecated in favour of
981
``get_parent_map`` which can be used to instantiate a Graph on a
982
VersionedFile. (Robert Collins)
983
984
* ``VersionedFileStore`` no longer uses the transaction parameter given
985
to most methods; amongst other things this means that the
986
get_weave_or_empty method no longer guarantees errors on a missing weave
987
in a readonly transaction, and no longer caches versioned file instances
988
which reduces memory pressure (but requires more careful management by
989
callers to preserve performance). (Robert Collins)
990
991
TESTING:
992
993
* New -Dselftest_debug flag disables clearing of the debug flags during
994
tests. This is useful if you want to use e.g. -Dhpss to help debug a
995
failing test. Be aware that using this feature is likely to cause
996
spurious test failures if used with the full suite. (Andrew Bennetts)
997
998
* selftest --load-list now uses a new more agressive test loader that will
999
avoid loading unneeded modules and building their tests. Plugins can use
1000
this new loader by defining a load_tests function instead of a test_suite
1001
function. (a forthcoming patch will provide many examples on how to
1002
implement this).
1003
(Vincent Ladeuil)
1004
1005
* selftest --load-list now does some sanity checks regarding duplicate test
1006
IDs and tests present in the list but not found in the actual test suite.
1007
(Vincent Ladeuil)
1008
1009
* Slightly more concise format for the selftest progress bar, so there's
1010
more space to show the test name. (Martin Pool) ::
1011
1012
[2500/10884, 1fail, 3miss in 1m29s] test_revisionnamespaces.TestRev
1013
1014
* The test suite takes much less memory to run, and is a bit faster. This
1015
is done by clearing most attributes of TestCases after running them, if
1016
they succeeded. (Andrew Bennetts)
1017
1018
INTERNALS:
1019
1020
* Added ``_build_client_protocol`` to ``_SmartClient``. (Andrew Bennetts)
1021
1022
* Added basic infrastructure for automatic plugin suggestion.
1023
(Martin Albisetti)
1024
1025
* If a ``LockableFiles`` object is not explicitly unlocked (for example
1026
because of a missing ``try/finally`` block, it will give a warning but
1027
not automatically unlock itself. (Previously they did.) This
1028
sometimes caused knock-on errors if for example the network connection
1029
had already failed, and should not be relied upon by code.
1030
(Martin Pool, #109520)
1031
1032
* ``make dist`` target to build a release tarball, and also
1033
``check-dist-tarball`` and ``dist-upload-escudero``. (Martin Pool)
1034
1035
* The ``read_response_tuple`` method of ``SmartClientRequestProtocol*``
1036
classes will now raise ``UnknownSmartMethod`` when appropriate, so that
1037
callers don't need to try distinguish unknown request errors from other
1038
errors. (Andrew Bennetts)
1039
1040
* ``set_make_working_trees`` is now implemented provided on all repository
1041
implementations (Aaron Bentley)
1042
1043
* ``VersionedFile`` now has a new method ``get_parent_map`` which, like
1044
``Graph.get_parent_map`` returns a dict of key:parents. (Robert Collins)

BUG FIXES:
1057
1058
* Fix a bug causing a ValueError crash in ``parse_line_delta_iter`` when

1065
------------------
1066
1067
Bazaar has become part of the GNU project <http://www.gnu.org>
1068
1069
Many operations that act on history, including ``log`` and ``annotate`` are now
1070
substantially faster. Several bugs have been fixed and several new options and
1071
features have been added.
1072
1073
TESTING:
1074
1075
* Avoid spurious failure of ``TestVersion.test_version`` matching

NOTES WHEN UPGRADING:
1084
1085
* The backup directory created by ``upgrade`` is now called
1086
``backup.bzr``, not ``.bzr.backup``. (Martin Albisetti)
1087
1088
CHANGES:
1089
1090
* A new repository format 'development' has been added. This format will
1091
represent the latest 'in-progress' format that the bzr developers are
1092
interested in getting early-adopter testing and feedback on.
1093
``doc/developers/development-repo.txt`` has detailed information.
1094
(Robert Collins)
1095
1096
* BZR_LOG environment variable controls location of .bzr.log trace file.
1097
User can suppress writing messages to .bzr.log by using '/dev/null'
1098
filename (on Linux) or 'NUL' (on Windows). If BZR_LOG variable
1099
is not defined but BZR_HOME is defined then default location
1100
for .bzr.log trace file is ``$BZR_HOME/.bzr.log``.
1101
(Alexander Belchenko)
1102
1103
* ``launchpad`` builtin plugin now shipped as separate part in standalone
1104
bzr.exe, installed to ``C:\Program Files\Bazaar\plugins`` directory,
1105
and standalone installer allows user to skip installation of this plugin.
1106
(Alexander Belchenko)
1107
1108
* Restore auto-detection of plink.exe on Windows. (Dmitry Vasiliev)
1109
1110
* Version number is now shown as "1.2" or "1.2pr2", without zeroed or
1111
missing final fields. (Martin Pool)
1112
1113
FEATURES:
1114
1115
* ``branch`` and ``checkout`` can hard-link working tree files, which is
1116
faster and saves space. (Aaron Bentley)
1117
1118
* ``bzr send`` will now also look at the ``child_submit_to`` setting in
1119
the submit branch to determine the email address to send to.
1120
(Jelmer Vernooij)
1121
1122
IMPROVEMENTS:
1123
1124
* BzrBranch._lefthand_history is faster on pack repos. (Aaron Bentley)
1125
1126
* Branch6.generate_revision_history is faster. (Aaron Bentley)
1127
1128
* Directory services can now be registered, allowing special URLs to be
1129
dereferenced into real URLs. This is a generalization and cleanup of
1130
the lp: transport lookup. (Aaron Bentley)
1131
1132
* Merge directives that are automatically attached to emails have nicer
1133
filenames, based on branch-nick + revno. (Aaron Bentley)
1134
1135
* ``push`` has a ``--revision`` option, to specify what revision to push up
1136
to. (Daniel Watkins)
1137
1138
* Significantly reducing execution time and network traffic for trivial
1139
case of running ``bzr missing`` command for two identical branches.
1140
(Alexander Belchenko)
1141
1142
* Speed up operations that look at the revision graph (such as 'bzr log').
1143
``KnitPackRepositor.get_revision_graph`` uses ``Graph.iter_ancestry`` to
1144
extract the revision history. This allows filtering ghosts while
1145
stepping instead of needing to peek ahead. (John Arbash Meinel)
1146
1147
* The ``hooks`` command lists installed hooks, to assist in debugging.
1148
(Daniel Watkins)
1149
1150
* Updates to how ``annotate`` work. Should see a measurable improvement in
1151
performance and memory consumption for file with a lot of merges.
1152
Also, correctly handle when a line is introduced by both parents (it
1153
should be attributed to the first merge which notices this, and not
1154
to all subsequent merges.) (John Arbash Meinel)
1155
1156
BUGFIXES:
1157
1158
* Autopacking no longer holds the full set of inventory lines in
1159
memory while copying. For large repositories, this can amount to
1160
hundreds of MB of ram consumption.
1161
(Ian Clatworthy, John Arbash Meinel)
1162
1163
* Cherrypicking when using ``--format=merge3`` now explictly excludes
1164
BASE lines. (John Arbash Meinel, #151731)
1165
1166
* Disable plink's interactive prompt for password.
1167
(#107593, Dmitry Vasiliev)
1168
1169
* Encode command line arguments from unicode to user_encoding before
1170
invoking external mail client in `bzr send` command.
1171
(#139318, Alexander Belchenko)
1172
1173
* Fixed problem connecting to ``bzr+https://`` servers.
1174
(#198793, John Ferlito)
1175
1176
* Improved error reporting in the Launchpad plugin. (Daniel Watkins,
1177
#196618)
1178
1179
* Include quick-start-summary.svg file to python-based installer(s)
1180
for Windows. (#192924, Alexander Belchenko)
1181
1182
* lca merge now respects specified files. (Aaron Bentley)
1183
1184
* Make version-info --custom imply --all. (#195560, James Westby)
1185
1186
* ``merge --preview`` now works for merges that add or modify
1187
symlinks (James Henstridge)
1188
1189
* Redirecting the output from ``bzr merge`` (when the remembered
1190
location is used) now works. (John Arbash Meinel)
1191
1192
* setup.py script explicitly checks for Python version.
1193
(Jari Aalto, Alexander Belchenko, #200569)
1194
1195
* UnknownFormatErrors no longer refer to branches regardless of kind of
1196
unknown format. (Daniel Watkins, #173980)
1197
1198
* Upgrade bundled ConfigObj to version 4.5.2, which properly quotes #
1199
signs, among other small improvements. (Matt Nordhoff, #86838)
1200
1201
* Use correct indices when emitting LCA conflicts. This fixes IndexError
1202
errors. (Aaron Bentley, #196780)
1203
1204
DOCUMENTATION:
1205
1206
* Explained how to use ``version-info --custom`` in the User Guide.
1207
(Neil Martinsen-Burrell)
1208
1209
API BREAKS:
1210
1211
* Support for loading plugins from zip files and
1212
``bzrlib.plugin.load_from_zip()`` function are deprecated.
1213
(Alexander Belchenko)
1214
1215
TESTING:
1216
1217
* Added missing blackbox tests for ``modified`` (Adrian Wilkins)
1218
1219
* The branch interface tests were invalid for branches using rich-root
1220
repositories because the empty string is not a valid file-id.
1221
(Robert Collins)
1222
1223
INTERNALS:
1224
1225
* ``Graph.iter_ancestry`` returns the ancestry of revision ids. Similar to
1226
``Repository.get_revision_graph()`` except it includes ghosts and you can
1227
stop part-way through. (John Arbash Meinel)
1228
1229
* New module ``tools/package_mf.py`` provide custom module finder for
1230
python packages (improves standard python library's modulefinder.py)
1231
used by ``setup.py`` script while building standalone bzr.exe.
1232
(Alexander Belchenko)
1233
1234
* New remote method ``RemoteBzrDir.find_repositoryV2`` adding support for
1235
detecting external lookup support on remote repositories. This method is
1236
now attempted first when lookup up repositories, leading to an extra
1237
round trip on older bzr smart servers. (Robert Collins)
1238
1239
* Repository formats have a new supported-feature attribute
1240
``supports_external_lookups`` used to indicate repositories which support
1241
falling back to other repositories when they have partial data.
1242
(Robert Collins)
1243
1244
* ``Repository.get_revision_graph_with_ghosts`` and
1245
``bzrlib.revision.(common_ancestor,MultipleRevisionSources,common_graph)``
1246
have been deprecated. (John Arbash Meinel)
1247
1248
* ``Tree.iter_changes`` is now a public API, replacing the work-in-progress
1249
``Tree._iter_changes``. The api is now considered stable and ready for
1250
external users. (Aaron Bentley)
1251
1252
* The bzrdir format registry now accepts an ``alias`` keyword to
1253
register_metadir, used to indicate that a format name is an alias for
1254
some other format and thus should not be reported when describing the
1255
format. (Robert Collins)

1269
NOTES WHEN UPGRADING:
1270
1271
* Fetching via the smart protocol may need to reconnect once during a fetch
1272
if the remote server is running Bazaar 1.1 or earlier, because the client
1273
attempts to use more efficient requests that confuse older servers. You
1274
may be required to re-enter a password or passphrase when this happens.
1275
This won't happen if the server is upgraded to Bazaar 1.2.
1276
(Andrew Bennetts)
1277
1278
CHANGES:
1279
1280
* Fetching via bzr+ssh will no longer fill ghosts by default (this is
1281
consistent with pack-0.92 fetching over SFTP). (Robert Collins)
1282
1283
* Formatting of ``bzr plugins`` output is changed to be more human-
1284
friendly. Full path of plugins locations will be shown only with
1285
``--verbose`` command-line option. (Alexander Belchenko)
1286
1287
* ``merge`` now prefers to use the submit branch, but will fall back to
1288
parent branch. For many users, this has no effect. But some users who
1289
pull and merge on the same branch will notice a change. This change
1290
makes it easier to work on a branch on two different machines, pulling
1291
between the machines, while merging from the upstream.
1292
``merge --remember`` can now be used to set the submit_branch.
1293
(Aaron Bentley)
1294
1295
FEATURES:
1296
1297
* ``merge --preview`` produces a diff of the changes merge would make,
1298
but does not actually perform the merge. (Aaron Bentley)
1299
1300
* New smart method ``Repository.get_parent_map`` for getting revision
1301
parent data. This returns additional parent information topologically
1302
adjacent to the requested data to reduce round trip latency impacts.
1303
(Robert Collins)
1304
1305
* New smart method, ``Repository.stream_revisions_chunked``, for fetching
1306
revision data that streams revision data via a chunked encoding. This
1307
avoids buffering large amounts of revision data on the server and on the
1308
client, and sends less data to the server to request the revisions.
1309
(Andrew Bennetts, Robert Collins, #178353)
1310
1311
* The launchpad plugin now handles lp urls of the form
1312
``lp://staging/``, ``lp://demo/``, ``lp://dev/`` to use the appropriate
1313
launchpad instance to do the resolution of the branch identities.
1314
This is primarily of use to Launchpad developers, but can also
1315
be used by other users who want to try out Launchpad as
1316
a branch location without messing up their public Launchpad
1317
account. Branches that are pushed to the staging environment
1318
have an expected lifetime of one day. (Tim Penhey)
1319
1320
IMPROVEMENTS:
1321
1322
* Creating a new branch no longer tries to read the entire revision-history
1323
unnecessarily over smart server operations. (Robert Collins)
1324
1325
* Fetching between different repository formats with compatible models now
1326
takes advantage of the smart method to stream revisions. (Andrew Bennetts)
1327
1328
* The ``--coverage`` option is now global, rather specific to ``bzr
1329
selftest``. (Andrew Bennetts)
1330
1331
* The ``register-branch`` command will now use the public url of the branch
1332
containing the current directory, if one has been set and no explicit
1333
branch is provided. (Robert Collins)
1334
1335
* Tweak the ``reannotate`` code path to optimize the 2-parent case.
1336
Speeds up ``bzr annotate`` with a pack repository by approx 3:2.
1337
(John Arbash Meinel)
1338
1339
BUGFIXES:
1340
1341
* Calculate remote path relative to the shared medium in _SmartClient. This
1342
is related to the problem in bug #124089. (Andrew Bennetts)
1343
1344
* Cleanly handle connection errors in smart protocol version two, the same
1345
way as they are handled by version one. (Andrew Bennetts)
1346
1347
* Clearer error when ``version-info --custom`` is used without
1348
``--template`` (Lukáš Lalinský)
1349
1350
* Don't raise UnavailableFeature during test setup when medusa is not
1351
available or tearDown is never called leading to nasty side effects.
1352
(#137823, Vincent Ladeuil)
1353
1354
* If a plugin's test suite cannot be loaded, for example because of a syntax
1355
error in the tests, then ``selftest`` fails, rather than just printing
1356
a warning. (Martin Pool, #189771)
1357
1358
* List possible values for BZR_SSH environment variable in env-variables
1359
help topic. (Alexander Belchenko, #181842)
1360
1361
* New methods ``push_log_file`` and ``pop_log_file`` to intercept messages:
1362
popping the log redirection now precisely restores the previous state,
1363
which makes it easier to use bzr log output from other programs.
1364
TestCaseInTempDir no longer depends on a log redirection being established
1365
by the test framework, which lets bzr tests cleanly run from a normal
1366
unittest runner.
1367
(#124153, #124849, Martin Pool, Jonathan Lange)
1368
1369
* ``pull --quiet`` is now more quiet, in particular a message is no longer
1370
printed when the remembered pull location is used. (James Westby,
1371
#185907)
1372
1373
* ``reconfigure`` can safely be interrupted while fetching.
1374
(Aaron Bentley, #179316)
1375
1376
* ``reconfigure`` preserves tags when converting to and from lightweight
1377
checkouts. (Aaron Bentley, #182040)
1378
1379
* Stop polluting /tmp when running selftest.
1380
(Vincent Ladeuil, #123623)
1381
1382
* Switch from NFKC => NFC for normalization checks. NFC allows a few
1383
more characters which should be considered valid.
1384
(John Arbash Meinel, #185458)
1385
1386
* The launchpad plugin now uses the ``edge`` xmlrpc server to avoid
1387
interacting badly with a bug on the launchpad side. (Robert Collins)
1388
1389
* Unknown hostnames when connecting to a ``bzr://`` URL no longer cause
1390
tracebacks. (Andrew Bennetts, #182849)
1391
1392
API BREAKS:
1393
1394
* Classes implementing Merge types like Merge3Merger must now accept (and
1395
honour) a do_merge flag in their constructor. (Aaron Bentley)
1396
1397
* ``Repository.add_inventory`` and ``add_revision`` now require the caller
1398
to previously take a write lock (and start a write group.)
1399
(Martin Pool)
1400
1401
TESTING:
1402
1403
* selftest now accepts --load-list <file> to load a test id list. This
1404
speeds up running the test suite on a limited set of tests.
1405

1406
1407
INTERNALS:
1408
1409
* Add a new method ``get_result`` to graph search objects. The resulting
1410
``SearchResult`` can be used to recreate the search later, which will
1411
be useful in reducing network traffic. (Robert Collins)
1412
1413
* Use convenience function to check whether two repository handles
1414
are referring to the same repository in ``Repository.get_graph``.
1415
(Jelmer Vernooij, #187162)
1416
1417
* Fetching now passes the find_ghosts flag through to the
1418
``InterRepository.missing_revision_ids`` call consistently for all
1419
repository types. This will enable faster missing revision discovery with
1420
bzr+ssh. (Robert Collins)
1421
1422
* Fix error handling in Repository.insert_data_stream. (Lukas Lalinsky)
1423
1424
* ``InterRepository.missing_revision_ids`` is now deprecated in favour of
1425
``InterRepository.search_missing_revision_ids`` which returns a
1426
``bzrlib.graph.SearchResult`` suitable for making requests from the smart
1427
server. (Robert Collins)
1428
1429
* New error ``NoPublicBranch`` for commands that need a public branch to
1430
operate. (Robert Collins)
1431
1432
* New method ``iter_inventories`` on Repository for access to many
1433
inventories. This is primarily used by the ``revision_trees`` method, as
1434
direct access to inventories is discouraged. (Robert Collins)
1435
1436
* New method ``next_with_ghosts`` on the Graph breadth-first-search objects
1437
which will split out ghosts and present parents into two separate sets,
1438
useful for code which needs to be aware of ghosts (e.g. fetching data
1439
cares about ghosts during revision selection). (Robert Collins)
1440
1441
* Record a timestamp against each mutter to the trace file, relative to the
1442
first import of bzrlib. (Andrew Bennetts)
1443
1444
* ``Repository.get_data_stream`` is now deprecated in favour of
1445
``Repository.get_data_stream_for_search`` which allows less network
1446
traffic when requesting data streams over a smart server. (Robert Collins)
1447
1448
* ``RemoteBzrDir._get_tree_branch`` no longer triggers ``_ensure_real``,
1449
removing one round trip on many network operations. (Robert Collins)
1450
1451
* RemoteTransport's ``recommended_page_size`` method now returns 64k, like
1452
SFTPTransport and HttpTransportBase. (Andrew Bennetts)
1453
1454
* Repository has a new method ``has_revisions`` which signals the presence
1455
of many revisions by returning a set of the revisions listed which are
1456
present. This can be done by index queries without reading data for parent
1457
revision names etc. (Robert Collins)

1466
---------------------
1467
1468
CHANGES:
1469
1470
* Dotted revision numbers have been revised. Instead of growing longer with
1471
nested branches the branch number just increases. (eg instead of 1.1.1.1.1
1472
we now report 1.2.1.) This helps scale long lived branches which have many
1473
feature branches merged between them. (John Arbash Meinel)
1474
1475
* The syntax ``bzr diff branch1 branch2`` is no longer supported.
1476
Use ``bzr diff branch1 --new branch2`` instead. This change has
1477
been made to remove the ambiguity where ``branch2`` is in fact a
1478
specific file to diff within ``branch1``.
1479
1480
FEATURES:
1481
1482
* New option to use custom template-based formats in ``bzr version-info``.
1483
(Lukáš Lalinský)
1484
1485
* diff '--using' allows an external diff tool to be used for files.
1486
(Aaron Bentley)
1487
1488
* New "lca" merge-type for fast everyday merging that also supports
1489
criss-cross merges. (Aaron Bentley)
1490
1491
IMPROVEMENTS:
1492
1493
* ``annotate`` now doesn't require a working tree. (Lukáš Lalinský,
1494
#90049)
1495
1496
* ``branch`` and ``checkout`` can now use files from a working tree to
1497
to speed up the process. For checkout, this requires the new
1498
--files-from flag. (Aaron Bentley)
1499
1500
* ``bzr diff`` now sorts files in alphabetical order. (Aaron Bentley)
1501
1502
* ``bzr diff`` now works on branches without working trees. Tree-less
1503
branches can also be compared to each other and to working trees using
1504
the new diff options ``--old`` and ``--new``. Diffing between branches,
1505
with or without trees, now supports specific file filtering as well.
1506
(Ian Clatworthy, #6700)
1507
1508
* ``bzr pack`` now orders revision texts in topological order, with newest
1509
at the start of the file, promoting linear reads for ``bzr log`` and the
1510
like. This partially fixes #154129. (Robert Collins)
1511
1512
* Merge directives now fetch prerequisites from the target branch if
1513
needed. (Aaron Bentley)
1514
1515
* pycurl now handles digest authentication.
1516
(Vincent Ladeuil)
1517
1518
* ``reconfigure`` can now convert from repositories. (Aaron Bentley)
1519
1520
* ``-l`` is now a short form for ``--limit`` in ``log``. (Matt Nordhoff)
1521
1522
* ``merge`` now warns when merge directives cause cherrypicks.
1523
(Aaron Bentley)
1524
1525
* ``split`` now supported, to enable splitting large trees into smaller
1526
pieces. (Aaron Bentley)
1527
1528
BUGFIXES:
1529
1530
* Avoid AttributeError when unlocking a pack repository when an error occurs.
1531
(Martin Pool, #180208)
1532
1533
* Better handle short reads when processing multiple range requests.
1534
(Vincent Ladeuil, #179368)
1535
1536
* build_tree acceleration uses the correct path when a file has been moved.
1537
(Aaron Bentley)
1538
1539
* ``commit`` now succeeds when a checkout and its master branch share a
1540
repository. (Aaron Bentley, #177592)
1541
1542
* Fixed error reporting of unsupported timezone format in
1543
``log --timezone``. (Lukáš Lalinský, #178722)
1544
1545
* Fixed Unicode encoding error in ``ignored`` when the output is
1546
redirected to a pipe. (Lukáš Lalinský)
1547
1548
* Fix traceback when sending large response bodies over the smart protocol
1549
on Windows. (Andrew Bennetts, #115781)
1550
1551
* Fix ``urlutils.relative_url`` for the case of two ``file:///`` URLs
1552
pointed to different logical drives on Windows.
1553
(Alexander Belchenko, #90847)
1554
1555
* HTTP test servers are now compatible with the http protocol version 1.1.
1556
(Vincent Ladeuil, #175524)
1557
1558
* _KnitParentsProvider.get_parent_map now handles requests for ghosts
1559
correctly, instead of erroring or attributing incorrect parents to ghosts.
1560
(Aaron Bentley)
1561
1562
* ``merge --weave --uncommitted`` now works. (Aaron Bentley)
1563
1564
* pycurl authentication handling was broken and incomplete. Fix handling of
1565
user:pass embedded in the urls.
1566
(Vincent Ladeuil, #177643)
1567
1568
* Files inside non-directories are now handled like other conflict types.
1569
(Aaron Bentley, #177390)
1570
1571
* ``reconfigure`` is able to convert trees into lightweight checkouts.
1572
(Aaron Bentley)
1573
1574
* Reduce lockdir timeout to 0 when running ``bzr serve``. (Andrew Bennetts,
1575
#148087)
1576
1577
* Test that the old ``version_info_format`` functions still work, even
1578
though they are deprecated. (John Arbash Meinel, ShenMaq, #177872)
1579
1580
* Transform failures no longer cause ImmortalLimbo errors (Aaron Bentley,
1581
#137681)
1582
1583
* ``uncommit`` works even when the commit messages of revisions to be
1584
removed use characters not supported in the terminal encoding.
1585
(Aaron Bentley)
1586
1587
* When dumb http servers return whole files instead of the requested ranges,
1588
read the remaining bytes by chunks to avoid overflowing network buffers.
1589
(Vincent Ladeuil, #175886)
1590
1591
DOCUMENTATION:
1592
1593
* Minor tweaks made to the bug tracker integration documentation.
1594
(Ian Clatworthy)
1595
1596
* Reference material has now be moved out of the User Guide and added
1597
to the User Reference. The User Reference has gained 4 sections as
1598
a result: Authenication Settings, Configuration Settings, Conflicts
1599
and Hooks. All help topics are now dumped into text format in the
1600
doc/en/user-reference directory for those who like browsing that
1601
information in their editor. (Ian Clatworthy)
1602
1603
* *Using Bazaar with Launchpad* tutorial added. (Ian Clatworthy)
1604
1605
INTERNALS:
1606
1607
* find_* methods available for BzrDirs, Branches and WorkingTrees.
1608

1609
1610
* Help topics can now be loaded from files.
1611
(Ian Clatworthy, Alexander Belchenko)
1612
1613
* get_parent_map now always provides tuples as its output. (Aaron Bentley)
1614
1615
* Parent Providers should now implement ``get_parent_map`` returning a
1616
dictionary instead of ``get_parents`` returning a list.
1617
``Graph.get_parents`` is now deprecated. (John Arbash Meinel,
1618
Robert Collins)
1619
1620
* Patience Diff now supports arbitrary python objects, as long as they
1621
support ``hash()``. (John Arbash Meinel)
1622
1623
* Reduce selftest overhead to establish test names by memoization.
1624
(Vincent Ladeuil)
1625
1626
API BREAKS:
1627
1628
TESTING:
1629
1630
* Modules can now customise their tests by defining a ``load_tests``
1631
attribute. ``pydoc bzrlib.tests.TestUtil.TestLoader.loadTestsFromModule``
1632
for the documentation on this attribute. (Robert Collins)
1633
1634
* New helper function ``bzrlib.tests.condition_id_re`` which helps
1635
filter tests based on a regular expression search on the tests id.
1636
(Robert Collins)
1637
1638
* New helper function ``bzrlib.tests.condition_isinstance`` which helps
1639
filter tests based on class. (Robert Collins)
1640
1641
* New helper function ``bzrlib.tests.exclude_suite_by_condition`` which
1642
generalises the ``exclude_suite_by_re`` function. (Robert Collins)
1643
1644
* New helper function ``bzrlib.tests.filter_suite_by_condition`` which
1645
generalises the ``filter_suite_by_re`` function. (Robert Collins)
1646
1647
* New helper method ``bzrlib.tests.exclude_tests_by_re`` which gives a new
1648
TestSuite that does not contain tests from the input that matched a
1649
regular expression. (Robert Collins)
1650
1651
* New helper method ``bzrlib.tests.randomize_suite`` which returns a
1652
randomized copy of the input suite. (Robert Collins)
1653
1654
* New helper method ``bzrlib.tests.split_suite_by_re`` which splits a test
1655
suite into two according to a regular expression. (Robert Collins)
1656
1657
* Parametrize all http tests for the transport implementations, the http
1658
protocol versions (1.0 and 1.1) and the authentication schemes.
1659
(Vincent Ladeuil)
1660
1661
* The ``exclude_pattern`` and ``random_order`` parameters to the function
1662
``bzrlib.tests.filter_suite_by_re`` have been deprecated. (Robert Collins)
1663
1664
* The method ``bzrlib.tests.sort_suite_by_re`` has been deprecated. It is
1665
replaced by the new helper methods added in this release. (Robert Collins)

BUGFIXES:
1696
1697
* Fix Makefile rules for doc generation. (Ian Clatworthy, #175207)
1698
1699
* Give more feedback during long http downloads by making readv deliver data
1700
as it arrives for urllib, and issue more requests for pycurl. High latency
1701
networks are better handled by urllib, the pycurl implementation give more
1702
feedback but also incur more latency.
1703
(Vincent Ladeuil, #173010)
1704
1705

1732
1733
* ``bzr commit`` now doesn't print the revision number twice. (Matt
1734
Nordhoff, #172612)
1735
1736
* New configuration option ``bugtracker_<tracker_abbrevation>_url`` to
1737
define locations of bug trackers that are not directly supported by
1738
bzr or a plugin. The URL will be treated as a template and ``{id}``
1739
placeholders will be replaced by specific bug IDs. (Lukáš Lalinský)
1740
1741
* Support logging single merge revisions with short and line log formatters.
1742
(Kent Gibson)
1743
1744
* User Guide enhanced with suggested readability improvements from
1745
Matt Revell and corrections from John Arbash Meinel. (Ian Clatworthy)
1746
1747
* Quick Start Guide renamed to Quick Start Card, moved down in
1748
the catalog, provided in pdf and png format and updated to refer
1749
to ``send`` instead of ``bundle``. (Ian Clatworthy, #165080)
1750
1751
* ``switch`` can now be used on heavyweight checkouts as well as
1752
lightweight ones. After switching a heavyweight checkout, the
1753
local branch is a mirror/cache of the new bound branch and
1754
uncommitted changes in the working tree are merged. As a safety
1755
check, if there are local commits in a checkout which have not
1756
been committed to the previously bound branch, then ``switch``
1757
fails unless the ``--force`` option is given. This option is
1758
now also required if the branch a lightweight checkout is pointing
1759
to has been moved. (Ian Clatworthy)

1774
filename to user.
1775
(Alexander Belchenko, #111758)
1776
1777
* Catch ShortReadvErrors while using pycurl. Also make readv more robust by
1778
allowing multiple GET requests to be issued if too many ranges are
1779
required.
1780
(Vincent Ladeuil, #172701)
1781
1782
* Check for missing basis texts when fetching from packs to packs.
1783
(John Arbash Meinel, #165290)
1784
1785
* Fall back to showing e-mail in ``log --short/--line`` if the

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

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

* ``bzr merge`` now warns when it encounters a criss-cross merge.
1885
(Aaron Bentley)
1886
1887
* ``bzr send`` now doesn't require the target e-mail address to be
1888
specified on the command line if an interactive e-mail client is used.
1889
(Lukáš Lalinský)
1890
1891
* ``bzr tags`` now prints the revision number for each tag, instead of
1892
the revision id, unless --show-ids is passed. In addition, tags can be
1893
sorted chronologically instead of lexicographically with --sort=time.
1894
(Adeodato Simó, #120231)
1895
1896
* Windows standalone version of bzr is able to load system-wide plugins from
1897
"plugins" subdirectory in installation directory. In addition standalone
1898
installer write to the registry (HKLM\SOFTWARE\Bazaar) useful info
1899
about paths and bzr version. (Alexander Belchenko, #129298)

1952
on them.
1953

1956
whole files being downloaded instead of parts.
1957
(Vincent Ladeuil, #165061)

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

(vincent Ladeuil, #150860)
1972
1973

2005
(Alexander Belchenko, workaround for #81689)
2006
2007
* Revert doesn't crash when restoring a single file from a deleted
2008
directory. (Aaron Bentley)
2009
2010
* Stderr output via logging mechanism now goes through encoded wrapper
2011
and no more uses utf-8, but terminal encoding instead. So all unicode
2012
strings now should be readable in non-utf-8 terminal.
2013
(Alexander Belchenko, #54173)
2014
2015
* The error message when ``move --after`` should be used makes how to do so
2016
clearer. (Daniel Watkins, #85237)
2017
2018
* Unicode-safe output from ``bzr info``. The output will be encoded
2019
using the terminal encoding and unrepresentable characters will be
2020
replaced by '?'. (Lukáš Lalinský, #151844)
2021
2022
* Working trees are no longer created when pushing into a local no-trees
2023
repo. (Daniel Watkins, #50582)
2024
2025
* Upgrade util/configobj to version 4.4.0.
2026
(Vincent Ladeuil, #151208).

2029
(Vincent Ladeuil, #157752)
2030
2031
API BREAKS:
2032
2033
* ``osutils.backup_file`` is deprecated. Actually it's not used in bzrlib
2034
during very long time. (Alexander Belchenko)
2035
2036
* The return value of
2037
``VersionedFile.iter_lines_added_or_present_in_versions`` has been
2038
changed. Previously it was an iterator of lines, now it is an iterator of
2039
(line, version_id) tuples. This change has been made to aid reconcile and
2040
fetch operations. (Robert Collins)
2041
2042
* ``bzrlib.repository.get_versioned_file_checker`` is now private.
2043
(Robert Collins)
2044
2045
* The Repository format registry default has been removed; it was previously
2046
obsoleted by the bzrdir format default, which implies a default repository
2047
format.
2048
(Martin Pool)
2049
2050
INTERNALS:
2051
2052
* Added ``ContainerSerialiser`` and ``ContainerPushParser`` to
2053
``bzrlib.pack``. These classes provide more convenient APIs for generating
2054
and parsing containers from streams rather than from files. (Andrew
2055
Bennetts)
2056
2057
* New module ``lru_cache`` providing a cache for use by tasks that need
2058
semi-random access to large amounts of data. (John A Meinel)
2059
2060
* InventoryEntry.diff is now deprecated. Please use diff.DiffTree instead.

NOTES WHEN UPGRADING:
2077
2078
CHANGES:
2079
2080
* ``bzr`` now returns exit code 4 if an internal error occurred, and
2081
3 if a normal error occurred. (Martin Pool)
2082
2083
* ``pull``, ``merge`` and ``push`` will no longer silently correct some
2084
repository index errors that occured as a result of the Weave disk format.
2085
Instead the ``reconcile`` command needs to be run to correct those
2086
problems if they exist (and it has been able to fix most such problems
2087
since bzr 0.8). Some new problems have been identified during this release
2088
and you should run ``bzr check`` once on every repository to see if you
2089
need to reconcile. If you cannot ``pull`` or ``merge`` from a remote
2090
repository due to mismatched parent errors - a symptom of index errors -
2091
you should simply take a full copy of that remote repository to a clean
2092
directory outside any local repositories, then run reconcile on it, and
2093
finally pull from it locally. (And naturally email the repositories owner
2094
to ask them to upgrade and run reconcile).
2095
(Robert Collins)
2096
2097
FEATURES:
2098
2099
* New ``knitpack-experimental`` repository format. This is interoperable with
2100
the ``dirstate-tags`` format but uses a smarter storage design that greatly
2101
speeds up many operations, both local and remote. This new format can be
2102
used as an option to the ``init``, ``init-repository`` and ``upgrade``
2103
commands. See http://doc.bazaar-vcs.org/0.92/developers/knitpack.html
2104
for further details. (Robert Collins)
2105
2106
* For users of bzr-svn (and those testing the prototype subtree support) that
2107
wish to try packs, a new ``knitpack-subtree-experimental`` format has also
2108
been added. This is interoperable with the ``dirstate-subtrees`` format.
2109
(Robert Collins)
2110
2111
* New ``reconfigure`` command. (Aaron Bentley)
2112
2113
* New ``revert --forget-merges`` command, which removes the record of a pending
2114
merge without affecting the working tree contents. (Martin Pool)
2115
2116
* New ``bzr_remote_path`` configuration variable allows finer control of
2117
remote bzr locations than BZR_REMOTE_PATH environment variable.
2118
(Aaron Bentley)
2119
2120
* New ``launchpad-login`` command to tell Bazaar your Launchpad
2121
user ID. This can then be used by other functions of the
2122
Launchpad plugin. (James Henstridge)
2123
2124
PERFORMANCE:
2125
2126
* Commit in quiet mode is now slightly faster as the information to
2127
output is no longer calculated. (Ian Clatworthy)
2128
2129
* Commit no longer checks for new text keys during insertion when the
2130
revision id was deterministically unique. (Robert Collins)
2131
2132
* Committing a change which is not a merge and does not change the number of
2133
files in the tree is faster by utilising the data about whether files are
2134
changed to determine if the tree is unchanged rather than recalculating
2135
it at the end of the commit process. (Robert Collins)
2136
2137
* Inventory serialisation no longer double-sha's the content.
2138
(Robert Collins)
2139
2140
* Knit text reconstruction now avoids making copies of the lines list for
2141
interim texts when building a single text. The new ``apply_delta`` method
2142
on ``KnitContent`` aids this by allowing modification of the revision id
2143
such objects represent. (Robert Collins)
2144
2145
* Pack indices are now partially parsed for specific key lookup using a
2146
bisection approach. (Robert Collins)
2147
2148
* Partial commits are now approximately 40% faster by walking over the
2149
unselected current tree more efficiently. (Robert Collins)
2150
2151
* XML inventory serialisation takes 20% less time while being stricter about
2152
the contents. (Robert Collins)
2153
2154
* Graph ``heads()`` queries have been fixed to no longer access all history
2155
unnecessarily. (Robert Collins)
2156
2157
IMPROVEMENTS:
2158
2159
* ``bzr+https://`` smart server across https now supported.
2160
(John Ferlito, Martin Pool, #128456)
2161
2162
* Mutt is now a supported mail client; set ``mail_client=mutt`` in your
2163
bazaar.conf and ``send`` will use mutt. (Keir Mierle)
2164
2165
* New option ``-c``/``--change`` for ``merge`` command for cherrypicking
2166
changes from one revision. (Alexander Belchenko, #141368)
2167
2168
* Show encodings, locale and list of plugins in the traceback message.
2169
(Martin Pool, #63894)
2170
2171
* Experimental directory formats can now be marked with
2172
``experimental = True`` during registration. (Ian Clatworthy)
2173
2174
DOCUMENTATION:
2175
2176
* New *Bazaar in Five Minutes* guide. (Matthew Revell)
2177
2178
* The hooks reference documentation is now converted to html as expected.
2179
(Ian Clatworthy)
2180
2181
BUG FIXES:
2182
2183
* Connection error reporting for the smart server has been fixed to
2184
display a user friendly message instead of a traceback.
2185
(Ian Clatworthy, #115601)
2186
2187
* Make sure to use ``O_BINARY`` when opening files to check their
2188
sha1sum. (Alexander Belchenko, John Arbash Meinel, #153493)
2189
2190
* Fix a problem with Win32 handling of the executable bit.
2191
(John Arbash Meinel, #149113)
2192
2193
* ``bzr+ssh://`` and ``sftp://`` URLs that do not specify ports explicitly
2194
no longer assume that means port 22. This allows people using OpenSSH to
2195
override the default port in their ``~/.ssh/config`` if they wish. This
2196
fixes a bug introduced in bzr 0.91. (Andrew Bennetts, #146715)
2197
2198
* Commands reporting exceptions can now be profiled and still have their
2199
data correctly dumped to a file. For example, a ``bzr commit`` with
2200
no changes still reports the operation as pointless but doing so no
2201
longer throws away the profiling data if this command is run with
2202
``--lsprof-file callgrind.out.ci`` say. (Ian Clatworthy)
2203
2204
* Fallback to ftp when paramiko is not installed and sftp can't be used for
2205
``tests/commands`` so that the test suite is still usable without
2206
paramiko.
2207
(Vincent Ladeuil, #59150)
2208
2209
* Fix commit ordering in corner case. (Aaron Bentley, #94975)
2210
2211
* Fix long standing bug in partial commit when there are renames
2212
left in tree. (Robert Collins, #140419)
2213
2214
* Fix selftest semi-random noise during http related tests.
2215
(Vincent Ladeuil, #140614)
2216
2217
* Fix typo in ftp.py making the reconnection fail on temporary errors.
2218
(Vincent Ladeuil, #154259)
2219
2220
* Fix failing test by comparing real paths to cover the case where the TMPDIR
2221
contains a symbolic link.
2222
(Vincent Ladeuil, #141382).
2223
2224
* Fix log against smart server branches that don't support tags.
2225
(James Westby, #140615)
2226
2227
* Fix pycurl http implementation by defining error codes from
2228
pycurl instead of relying on an old curl definition.
2229
(Vincent Ladeuil, #147530)
2230
2231
* Fix 'unprintable error' message when displaying BzrCheckError and
2232
some other exceptions on Python 2.5.
2233
(Martin Pool, #144633)
2234
2235
* Fix ``Inventory.copy()`` and add test for it. (Jelmer Vernooij)
2236
2237
* Handles default value for ListOption in cmd_commit.
2238
(Vincent Ladeuil, #140432)
2239
2240
* HttpServer and FtpServer need to be closed properly or a listening socket
2241
will remain opened.
2242
(Vincent Ladeuil, #140055)
2243
2244
* Monitor the .bzr directory created in the top level test
2245
directory to detect leaking tests.
2246
(Vincent Ladeuil, #147986)
2247
2248
* The basename, not the full path, is now used when checking whether
2249
the profiling dump file begins with ``callgrind.out`` or not. This
2250
fixes a bug reported by Aaron Bentley on IRC. (Ian Clatworthy)
2251
2252
* Trivial fix for invoking command ``reconfigure`` without arguments.
2253
(Rob Weir, #141629)
2254
2255
* ``WorkingTree.rename_one`` will now raise an error if normalisation of the
2256
new path causes bzr to be unable to access the file. (Robert Collins)
2257
2258
* Correctly detect a NoSuchFile when using a filezilla server. (Gary van der
2259
Merwe)
2260
2261
API BREAKS:
2262
2263
* ``bzrlib.index.GraphIndex`` now requires a size parameter to the
2264
constructor, for enabling bisection searches. (Robert Collins)
2265
2266
* ``CommitBuilder.record_entry_contents`` now requires the root entry of a
2267
tree be supplied to it, previously failing to do so would trigger a
2268
deprecation warning. (Robert Collins)
2269
2270
* ``KnitVersionedFile.add*`` will no longer cache added records even when
2271
enable_cache() has been called - the caching feature is now exclusively for
2272
reading existing data. (Robert Collins)
2273
2274
* ``ReadOnlyLockError`` is deprecated; ``LockFailed`` is usually more
2275
appropriate. (Martin Pool)
2276
2277
* Removed ``bzrlib.transport.TransportLogger`` - please see the new
2278
``trace+`` transport instead. (Robert Collins)
2279
2280
* Removed previously deprecated varargs interface to ``TestCase.run_bzr`` and
2281
deprecated methods ``TestCase.capture`` and ``TestCase.run_bzr_captured``.
2282
(Martin Pool)
2283
2284
* Removed previous deprecated ``basis_knit`` parameter to the
2285
``KnitVersionedFile`` constructor. (Robert Collins)
2286
2287
* Special purpose method ``TestCase.run_bzr_decode`` is moved to the test_non_ascii
2288
class that needs it.
2289
(Martin Pool)
2290
2291
* The class ``bzrlib.repofmt.knitrepo.KnitRepository3`` has been folded into
2292
``KnitRepository`` by parameters to the constructor. (Robert Collins)
2293
2294
* The ``VersionedFile`` interface now allows content checks to be bypassed
2295
by supplying check_content=False. This saves nearly 30% of the minimum
2296
cost to store a version of a file. (Robert Collins)
2297
2298
* Tree's with bad state such as files with no length or sha will no longer
2299
be silently accepted by the repository XML serialiser. To serialise
2300
inventories without such data, pass working=True to write_inventory.
2301
(Robert Collins)
2302
2303
* ``VersionedFile.fix_parents`` has been removed as a harmful API.
2304
``VersionedFile.join`` will no longer accept different parents on either
2305
side of a join - it will either ignore them, or error, depending on the
2306
implementation. See notes when upgrading for more information.
2307
(Robert Collins)
2308
2309
INTERNALS:
2310
2311
* ``bzrlib.transport.Transport.put_file`` now returns the number of bytes
2312
put by the method call, to allow avoiding stat-after-write or
2313
housekeeping in callers. (Robert Collins)
2314
2315
* ``bzrlib.xml_serializer.Serializer`` is now responsible for checking that
2316
mandatory attributes are present on serialisation and deserialisation.
2317
This fixes some holes in API usage and allows better separation between
2318
physical storage and object serialisation. (Robert Collins)
2319
2320
* New class ``bzrlib.errors.InternalBzrError`` which is just a convenient
2321
shorthand for deriving from BzrError and setting internal_error = True.
2322
(Robert Collins)
2323
2324
* New method ``bzrlib.mutabletree.update_to_one_parent_via_delta`` for
2325
moving the state of a parent tree to a new version via a delta rather than
2326
a complete replacement tree. (Robert Collins)
2327
2328
* New method ``bzrlib.osutils.minimum_path_selection`` useful for removing
2329
duplication from user input, when a user mentions both a path and an item
2330
contained within that path. (Robert Collins)
2331
2332
* New method ``bzrlib.repository.Repository.is_write_locked`` useful for
2333
determining if a repository is write locked. (Robert Collins)
2334
2335
* New method on ``bzrlib.tree.Tree`` ``path_content_summary`` provides a
2336
tuple containing the key information about a path for commit processing
2337
to complete. (Robert Collins)
2338
2339
* New method on xml serialisers, write_inventory_to_lines, which matches the
2340
API used by knits for adding content. (Robert Collins)
2341
2342
* New module ``bzrlib.bisect_multi`` with generic multiple-bisection-at-once
2343
logic, currently only available for byte-based lookup
2344
(``bisect_multi_bytes``). (Robert Collins)
2345
2346
* New helper ``bzrlib.tuned_gzip.bytes_to_gzip`` which takes a byte string
2347
and returns a gzipped version of the same. This is used to avoid a bunch
2348
of api friction during adding of knit hunks. (Robert Collins)
2349
2350
* New parameter on ``bzrlib.transport.Transport.readv``
2351
``adjust_for_latency`` which changes readv from returning strictly the
2352
requested data to inserted return larger ranges and in forward read order
2353
to reduce the effect of network latency. (Robert Collins)
2354
2355
* New parameter yield_parents on ``Inventory.iter_entries_by_dir`` which
2356
causes the parents of a selected id to be returned recursively, so all the
2357
paths from the root down to each element of selected_file_ids are
2358
returned. (Robert Collins)
2359
2360
* Knit joining has been enhanced to support plain to annotated conversion
2361
and annotated to plain conversion. (Ian Clatworthy)
2362
2363
* The CommitBuilder method ``record_entry_contents`` now returns summary
2364
information about the effect of the commit on the repository. This tuple
2365
contains an inventory delta item if the entry changed from the basis, and a
2366
boolean indicating whether a new file graph node was recorded.
2367
(Robert Collins)
2368
2369
* The python path used in the Makefile can now be overridden.
2370
(Andrew Bennetts, Ian Clatworthy)
2371
2372
TESTING:
2373
2374
* New transport implementation ``trace+`` which is useful for testing,
2375
logging activity taken to its _activity attribute. (Robert Collins)
2376
2377
* When running bzr commands within the test suite, internal exceptions are
2378
not caught and reported in the usual way, but rather allowed to propagate
2379
up and be visible to the test suite. A new API ``run_bzr_catch_user_errors``
2380
makes this behavior available to other users.
2381
(Martin Pool)
2382
2383
* New method ``TestCase.call_catch_warnings`` for testing methods that
2384
raises a Python warning. (Martin Pool)

2388
-------------------
2389
2390
BUG FIXES:
2391
2392
* Print a warning instead of aborting the ``python setup.py install``
2393
process if building of a C extension is not possible.
2394
(Lukáš Lalinský, Alexander Belchenko)
2395
2396
* Fix commit ordering in corner case (Aaron Bentley, #94975)
2397
2398
* Fix ''bzr info bzr://host/'' and other operations on ''bzr://' URLs with
2399
an implicit port. We were incorrectly raising PathNotChild due to
2400
inconsistent treatment of the ''_port'' attribute on the Transport object.
2401
(Andrew Bennetts, #133965)
2402
2403
* Make RemoteRepository.sprout cope gracefully with servers that don't
2404
support the ``Repository.tarball`` request.
2405
(Andrew Bennetts)

2407
2408
bzr 0.91rc2 2007-09-11
2409
----------------------
2410
2411
* Replaced incorrect tarball for previous release; a debug statement was left
2412
in bzrlib/remote.py.
2413
2414
2415
bzr 0.91rc1 2007-09-11
2416
----------------------
2417
2418
CHANGES:
2419
2420
* The default branch and repository format has changed to
2421
``dirstate-tags``, so tag commands are active by default.
2422
This format is compatible with Bazaar 0.15 and later.
2423
This incidentally fixes bug #126141.
2424
(Martin Pool)
2425
2426
* ``--quiet`` or ``-q`` is no longer a global option. If present, it
2427
must now appear after the command name. Scripts doing things like
2428
``bzr -q missing`` need to be rewritten as ``bzr missing -q``.
2429
(Ian Clatworthy)
2430
2431
FEATURES:
2432
2433
* New option ``--author`` in ``bzr commit`` to specify the author of the
2434
change, if it's different from the committer. ``bzr log`` and
2435
``bzr annotate`` display the author instead of the committer.
2436
(Lukáš Lalinský)
2437
2438
* In addition to global options and command specific options, a set of
2439
standard options are now supported. Standard options are legal for
2440
all commands. The initial set of standard options are:
2441
2442
* ``--help`` or ``-h`` - display help message
2443
* ``--verbose`` or ``-v`` - display additional information
2444
* ``--quiet`` or ``-q`` - only output warnings and errors.
2445
2446
Unlike global options, standard options can be used in aliases and
2447
may have command-specific help. (Ian Clatworthy)
2448
2449
* Verbosity level processing has now been unified. If ``--verbose``
2450
or ``-v`` is specified on the command line multiple times, the
2451
verbosity level is made positive the first time then increased.
2452
If ``--quiet`` or ``-q`` is specified on the command line
2453
multiple times, the verbosity level is made negative the first
2454
time then decreased. To get the default verbosity level of zero,
2455
either specify none of the above , ``--no-verbose`` or ``--no-quiet``.
2456
Note that most commands currently ignore the magnitude of the
2457
verbosity level but do respect *quiet vs normal vs verbose* when
2458
generating output. (Ian Clatworthy)
2459
2460
* ``Branch.hooks`` now supports ``pre_commit`` hook. The hook's signature
2461
is documented in BranchHooks constructor. (Nam T. Nguyen, #102747)
2462
2463
* New ``Repository.stream_knit_data_for_revisions`` request added to the
2464
network protocol for greatly reduced roundtrips when retrieving a set of
2465
revisions. (Andrew Bennetts)
2466
2467
BUG FIXES:
2468
2469
* ``bzr plugins`` now lists the version number for each plugin in square
2470
brackets after the path. (Robert Collins, #125421)
2471
2472
* Pushing, pulling and branching branches with subtree references was not
2473
copying the subtree weave, preventing the file graph from being accessed
2474
and causing errors in commits in clones. (Robert Collins)
2475
2476
* Suppress warning "integer argument expected, got float" from Paramiko,
2477
which sometimes caused false test failures. (Martin Pool)
2478
2479
* Fix bug in bundle 4 that could cause attempts to write data to wrong
2480
versionedfile. (Aaron Bentley)
2481
2482
* Diffs generated using "diff -p" no longer break the patch parser.
2483
(Aaron Bentley)
2484
2485
* get_transport treats an empty possible_transports list the same as a non-
2486
empty one. (Aaron Bentley)
2487
2488
* patch verification for merge directives is reactivated, and works with
2489
CRLF and CR files. (Aaron Bentley)
2490
2491
* Accept ..\ as a path in revision specifiers. This fixes for example
2492
"-r branch:..\other-branch" on Windows. (Lukáš Lalinský)
2493
2494
* ``BZR_PLUGIN_PATH`` may now contain trailing slashes.
2495
(Blake Winton, #129299)
2496
2497
* man page no longer lists hidden options (#131667, Aaron Bentley)
2498
2499
* ``uncommit --help`` now explains the -r option adequately. (Daniel
2500
Watkins, #106726)
2501
2502
* Error messages are now better formatted with parameters (such as
2503
filenames) quoted when necessary. This avoids confusion when directory
2504
names ending in a '.' at the end of messages were confused with a
2505
full stop that may or not have been there. (Daniel Watkins, #129791)
2506
2507
* Fix ``status FILE -r X..Y``. (Lukáš Lalinský)
2508
2509
* If a particular command is an alias, ``help`` will show the alias
2510
instead of claiming there is no help for said alias. (Daniel Watkins,
2511
#133548)
2512
2513
* TreeTransform-based operations, like pull, merge, revert, and branch,
2514
now roll back if they encounter an error. (Aaron Bentley, #67699)
2515
2516
* ``bzr commit`` now exits cleanly if a character unsupported by the
2517
current encoding is used in the commit message. (Daniel Watkins,
2518
#116143)
2519
2520
* bzr send uses default values for ranges when only half of an elipsis
2521
is specified ("-r..5" or "-r5.."). (#61685, Aaron Bentley)
2522
2523
* Avoid trouble when Windows ssh calls itself 'plink' but no plink
2524
binary is present. (Martin Albisetti, #107155)
2525
2526
* ``bzr remove`` should remove clean subtrees. Now it will remove (without
2527
needing ``--force``) subtrees that contain no files with text changes or
2528
modified files. With ``--force`` it removes the subtree regardless of
2529
text changes or unknown files. Directories with renames in or out (but
2530
not changed otherwise) will now be removed without needing ``--force``.
2531
Unknown ignored files will be deleted without needing ``--force``.
2532
(Marius Kruger, #111665)
2533
2534
* When two plugins conflict, the source of both the losing and now the
2535
winning definition is shown. (Konstantin Mikhaylov, #5454)
2536
2537
* When committing to a branch, the location being committed to is
2538
displayed. (Daniel Watkins, #52479)
2539
2540
* ``bzr --version`` takes care about encoding of stdout, especially
2541
when output is redirected. (Alexander Belchenko, #131100)
2542
2543
* Prompt for an ftp password if none is provided.
2544
(Vincent Ladeuil, #137044)
2545
2546
* Reuse bound branch associated transport to avoid multiple
2547
connections.
2548
(Vincent Ladeuil, #128076, #131396)
2549
2550
* Overwrite conflicting tags by ``push`` and ``pull`` if the
2551
``--overwrite`` option is specified. (Lukáš Lalinský, #93947)
2552
2553
* In checkouts, tags are copied into the master branch when created,
2554
changed or deleted, and are copied into the checkout when it is
2555
updated. (Martin Pool, #93856, #93860)
2556
2557
* Print a warning instead of aborting the ``python setup.py install``
2558
process if building of a C extension is not possible.
2559
(Lukáš Lalinský, Alexander Belchenko)
2560
2561
IMPROVEMENTS:
2562
2563
* Add the option "--show-diff" to the commit command in order to display
2564
the diff during the commit log creation. (Goffredo Baroncelli)
2565
2566
* ``pull`` and ``merge`` are much faster at installing bundle format 4.
2567
(Aaron Bentley)
2568
2569
* ``pull -v`` no longer includes deltas, making it much faster.
2570
(Aaron Bentley)
2571
2572
* ``send`` now sends the directive as an attachment by default.
2573
(Aaron Bentley, Lukáš Lalinský, Alexander Belchenko)
2574
2575
* Documentation updates (Martin Albisetti)
2576
2577
* Help on debug flags is now included in ``help global-options``.
2578
(Daniel Watkins, #124853)
2579
2580
* Parameters passed on the command line are checked to ensure they are
2581
supported by the encoding in use. (Daniel Watkins)
2582
2583
* The compression used within the bzr repository has changed from zlib
2584
level 9 to the zlib default level. This improves commit performance with
2585
only a small increase in space used (and in some cases a reduction in
2586
space). (Robert Collins)
2587
2588
* Initial commit no longer SHAs files twice and now reuses the path
2589
rather than looking it up again, making it faster.
2590
(Ian Clatworthy)
2591
2592
* New option ``-c``/``--change`` for ``diff`` and ``status`` to show
2593
changes in one revision. (Lukáš Lalinský)
2594
2595
* If versioned files match a given ignore pattern, a warning is now
2596
given. (Daniel Watkins, #48623)
2597
2598
* ``bzr status`` now has -S as a short name for --short and -V as a
2599
short name for --versioned. These have been added to assist users
2600
migrating from Subversion: ``bzr status -SV`` is now like
2601
``svn status -q``. (Daniel Watkins, #115990)
2602
2603
* Added C implementation of ``PatienceSequenceMatcher``, which is about
2604
10x faster than the Python version. This speeds up commands that
2605
need file diffing, such as ``bzr commit`` or ``bzr diff``.
2606
(Lukáš Lalinský)
2607
2608
* HACKING has been extended with a large section on core developer tasks.
2609
(Ian Clatworthy)
2610
2611
* Add ``branches`` and ``standalone-trees`` as online help topics and
2612
include them as Concepts within the User Reference.
2613
(Paul Moore, Ian Clatworthy)
2614
2615
* ``check`` can detect versionedfile parent references that are
2616
inconsistent with revision and inventory info, and ``reconcile`` can fix
2617
them. These faulty references were generated by 0.8-era releases,
2618
so repositories which were manipulated by old bzrs should be
2619
checked, and possibly reconciled ASAP. (Aaron Bentley, Andrew Bennetts)
2620
2621
API BREAKS:
2622
2623
* ``Branch.append_revision`` is removed altogether; please use
2624
``Branch.set_last_revision_info`` instead. (Martin Pool)
2625
2626
* CommitBuilder now advertises itself as requiring the root entry to be
2627
supplied. This only affects foreign repository implementations which reuse
2628
CommitBuilder directly and have changed record_entry_contents to require
2629
that the root not be supplied. This should be precisely zero plugins
2630
affected. (Robert Collins)
2631
2632
* The ``add_lines`` methods on ``VersionedFile`` implementations has changed
2633
its return value to include the sha1 and length of the inserted text. This
2634
allows the avoidance of double-sha1 calculations during commit.
2635
(Robert Collins)
2636
2637
* ``Transport.should_cache`` has been removed. It was not called in the
2638
previous release. (Martin Pool)
2639
2640
TESTING:
2641
2642
* Tests may now raise TestNotApplicable to indicate they shouldn't be
2643
run in a particular scenario. (Martin Pool)
2644
2645
* New function multiply_tests_from_modules to give a simpler interface
2646
to test parameterization. (Martin Pool, Robert Collins)
2647
2648
* ``Transport.should_cache`` has been removed. It was not called in the
2649
previous release. (Martin Pool)
2650
2651
* NULL_REVISION is returned to indicate the null revision, not None.
2652
(Aaron Bentley)
2653
2654
* Use UTF-8 encoded StringIO for log tests to avoid failures on
2655
non-ASCII committer names. (Lukáš Lalinský)
2656
2657
INTERNALS:
2658
2659
* ``bzrlib.plugin.all_plugins`` has been deprecated in favour of
2660
``bzrlib.plugin.plugins()`` which returns PlugIn objects that provide
2661
useful functionality for determining the path of a plugin, its tests, and
2662
its version information. (Robert Collins)
2663
2664
* Add the option user_encoding to the function 'show_diff_trees()'
2665
in order to move the user encoding at the UI level. (Goffredo Baroncelli)
2666
2667
* Add the function make_commit_message_template_encoded() and the function
2668
edit_commit_message_encoded() which handle encoded strings.
2669
This is done in order to mix the commit messages (which is a unicode
2670
string), and the diff which is a raw string. (Goffredo Baroncelli)
2671
2672
* CommitBuilder now defaults to using add_lines_with_ghosts, reducing
2673
overhead on non-weave repositories which don't require all parents to be
2674
present. (Robert Collins)
2675
2676
* Deprecated method ``find_previous_heads`` on
2677
``bzrlib.inventory.InventoryEntry``. This has been superseded by the use
2678
of ``parent_candidates`` and a separate heads check via the repository
2679
API. (Robert Collins)
2680
2681
* New trace function ``mutter_callsite`` will print out a subset of the
2682
stack to the log, which can be useful for gathering debug details.
2683
(Robert Collins)
2684
2685
* ``bzrlib.pack.ContainerWriter`` now tracks how many records have been
2686
added via a public attribute records_written. (Robert Collins)
2687
2688
* New method ``bzrlib.transport.Transport.get_recommended_page_size``.
2689
This provides a hint to users of transports as to the reasonable
2690
minimum data to read. In principle this can take latency and
2691
bandwidth into account on a per-connection basis, but for now it
2692
just has hard coded values based on the url. (e.g. http:// has a large
2693
page size, file:// has a small one.) (Robert Collins)
2694
2695
* New method on ``bzrlib.transport.Transport`` ``open_write_stream`` allows
2696
incremental addition of data to a file without requiring that all the
2697
data be buffered in memory. (Robert Collins)
2698
2699
* New methods on ``bzrlib.knit.KnitVersionedFile``:
2700
``get_data_stream(versions)``, ``insert_data_stream(stream)`` and
2701
``get_format_signature()``. These provide some infrastructure for
2702
efficiently streaming the knit data for a set of versions over the smart
2703
protocol.
2704
2705
* Knits with no annotation cache still produce correct annotations.
2706
(Aaron Bentley)
2707
2708
* Three new methods have been added to ``bzrlib.trace``:
2709
``set_verbosity_level``, ``get_verbosity_level`` and ``is_verbose``.
2710
``set_verbosity_level`` expects a numeric value: negative for quiet,
2711
zero for normal, positive for verbose. The size of the number can be
2712
used to determine just how quiet or verbose the application should be.
2713
The existing ``be_quiet`` and ``is_quiet`` routines have been
2714
integrated into this new scheme. (Ian Clatworthy)
2715
2716
* Options can now be delcared with a ``custom_callback`` parameter. If
2717
set, this routine is called after the option is processed. This feature
2718
is now used by the standard options ``verbose`` and ``quiet`` so that
2719
setting one implicitly resets the other. (Ian Clatworthy)
2720
2721
* Rather than declaring a new option from scratch in order to provide
2722
custom help, a centrally registered option can be decorated using the
2723
new ``bzrlib.Option.custom_help`` routine. In particular, this routine
2724
is useful when declaring better help for the ``verbose`` and ``quiet``
2725
standard options as the base definition of these is now more complex
2726
than before thanks to their use of a custom callback. (Ian Clatworthy)
2727
2728
* Tree._iter_changes(specific_file=[]) now iterates through no files,
2729
instead of iterating through all files. None is used to iterate through
2730
all files. (Aaron Bentley)
2731
2732
* WorkingTree.revert() now accepts None to revert all files. The use of
2733
[] to revert all files is deprecated. (Aaron Bentley)
2734
2735
2736
bzr 0.90 2007-08-28
2737
-------------------
2738
2739
IMPROVEMENTS:
2740
2741
* Documentation is now organized into multiple directories with a level
2742
added for different languages or locales. Added the Mini Tutorial
2743
and Quick Start Summary (en) documents from the Wiki, improving the
2744
content and readability of the former. Formatted NEWS as Release Notes
2745
complete with a Table of Conents, one heading per release. Moved the
2746
Developer Guide into the main document catalog and provided a link
2747
from the developer document catalog back to the main one.
2748
(Ian Clatworthy, Sabin Iacob, Alexander Belchenko)
2749
2750
2751
API CHANGES:
2752
2753
* The static convenience method ``BzrDir.create_repository``
2754
is deprecated. Callers should instead create a ``BzrDir`` instance
2755
and call ``create_repository`` on that. (Martin Pool)
2756

2758
bzr 0.90rc1 2007-08-14
2759
----------------------
2760
2761
BUGFIXES:
2762
2763
* ``bzr init`` should connect to the remote location one time only. We
2764
have been connecting several times because we forget to pass around the
2765
Transport object. This modifies ``BzrDir.create_branch_convenience``,
2766
so that we can give it the Transport we already have.
2767
(John Arbash Meinel, Vincent Ladeuil, #111702)
2768
2769
* Get rid of sftp connection cache (get rid of the FTP one too).
2770
(Vincent Ladeuil, #43731)
2771
2772
* bzr branch {local|remote} remote don't try to create a working tree
2773
anymore.
2774
(Vincent Ladeuil, #112173)
2775
2776
* All identified multiple connections for a single bzr command have been
2777
fixed. See bzrlib/tests/commands directory.
2778
(Vincent Ladeuil)
2779
2780
* ``bzr rm`` now does not insist on ``--force`` to delete files that
2781
have been renamed but not otherwise modified. (Marius Kruger,
2782
#111664)
2783
2784
* ``bzr selftest --bench`` no longer emits deprecation warnings
2785
(Lukáš Lalinský)
2786
2787
* ``bzr status`` now honours FILE parameters for conflict lists
2788
(Aaron Bentley, #127606)
2789
2790
* ``bzr checkout`` now honours -r when reconstituting a working tree.
2791
It also honours -r 0. (Aaron Bentley, #127708)
2792
2793
* ``bzr add *`` no more fails on Windows if working tree contains
2794
non-ascii file names. (Kuno Meyer, #127361)
2795
2796
* allow ``easy_install bzr`` runs without fatal errors.
2797
(Alexander Belchenko, #125521)
2798
2799
* Graph._filter_candidate_lca does not raise KeyError if a candidate
2800
is eliminated just before it would normally be examined. (Aaron Bentley)
2801
2802
* SMTP connection failures produce a nice message, not a traceback.
2803
(Aaron Bentley)
2804
2805
IMPROVEMENTS:
2806
2807
* Don't show "dots" progress indicators when run non-interactively, such
2808
as from cron. (Martin Pool)
2809
2810
* ``info`` now formats locations more nicely and lists "submit" and
2811
"public" branches (Aaron Bentley)
2812
2813
* New ``pack`` command that will trigger database compression within
2814
the repository (Robert Collins)
2815
2816
* Implement ``_KnitIndex._load_data`` in a pyrex extension. The pyrex
2817
version is approximately 2-3x faster at parsing a ``.kndx`` file.
2818
Which yields a measurable improvement for commands which have to
2819
read from the repository, such as a 1s => 0.75s improvement in
2820
``bzr diff`` when there are changes to be shown. (John Arbash Meinel)
2821
2822
* Merge is now faster. Depending on the scenario, it can be more than 2x
2823
faster. (Aaron Bentley)
2824
2825
* Give a clearer warning, and allow ``python setup.py install`` to
2826
succeed even if pyrex is not available.
2827
(John Arbash Meinel)
2828
2829
* ``DirState._read_dirblocks`` now has an optional Pyrex
2830
implementation. This improves the speed of any command that has to
2831
read the entire DirState. (``diff``, ``status``, etc, improve by
2832
about 10%).
2833
``bisect_dirblocks`` has also been improved, which helps all
2834
``_get_entry`` type calls (whenever we are searching for a
2835
particular entry in the in-memory DirState).
2836
(John Arbash Meinel)
2837
2838
* ``bzr pull`` and ``bzr push`` no longer do a complete walk of the
2839
branch revision history for ui display unless -v is supplied.
2840
(Robert Collins)
2841
2842
* ``bzr log -rA..B`` output shifted to the left margin if the log only
2843
contains merge revisions. (Kent Gibson)
2844
2845
* The ``plugins`` command is now public with improved help.
2846
(Ian Clatworthy)
2847
2848
* New bundle and merge directive formats are faster to generate, and
2849
2850
* Annotate merge now works when there are local changes. (Aaron Bentley)
2851
2852
* Commit now only shows the progress in terms of directories instead of
2853
entries. (Ian Clatworthy)
2854
2855
* Fix ``KnitRepository.get_revision_graph`` to not request the graph 2
2856
times. This makes ``get_revision_graph`` 2x faster. (John Arbash
2857
Meinel)
2858
2859
* Fix ``VersionedFile.get_graph()`` to avoid using
2860
``set.difference_update(other)``, which has bad scaling when
2861
``other`` is large. This improves ``VF.get_graph([version_id])`` for
2862
a 12.5k graph from 2.9s down to 200ms. (John Arbash Meinel)
2863
2864
* The ``--lsprof-file`` option now generates output for KCacheGrind if
2865
the file starts with ``callgrind.out``. This matches the default file
2866
filtering done by KCacheGrind's Open Dialog. (Ian Clatworthy)
2867
2868
* Fix ``bzr update`` to avoid an unnecessary
2869
``branch.get_master_branch`` call, which avoids 1 extra connection
2870
to the remote server. (Partial fix for #128076, John Arbash Meinel)
2871
2872
* Log errors from the smart server in the trace file, to make debugging
2873
test failures (and live failures!) easier. (Andrew Bennetts)
2874
2875
* The HTML version of the man page has been superceded by a more
2876
comprehensive manual called the Bazaar User Reference. This manual
2877
is completed generated from the online help topics. As part of this
2878
change, limited reStructuredText is now explicitly supported in help
2879
topics and command help with 'unnatural' markup being removed prior
2880
to display by the online help or inclusion in the man page.
2881
(Ian Clatworthy)
2882
2883
* HTML documentation now use files extension ``*.html``
2884
(Alexander Belchenko)
2885
2886
* The cache of ignore definitions is now cleared in WorkingTree.unlock()
2887
so that changes to .bzrignore aren't missed. (#129694, Daniel Watkins)
2888
2889
* ``bzr selftest --strict`` fails if there are any missing features or
2890
expected test failures. (Daniel Watkins, #111914)
2891
2892
* Link to registration survey added to README. (Ian Clatworthy)
2893
2894
* Windows standalone installer show link to registration survey
2895
when installation finished. (Alexander Belchenko)
2896
2897
LIBRARY API BREAKS:
2898
2899
* Deprecated dictionary ``bzrlib.option.SHORT_OPTIONS`` removed.
2900
Options are now required to provide a help string and it must
2901
comply with the style guide by being one or more sentences with an
2902
initial capital and final period. (Martin Pool)
2903
2904
* KnitIndex.get_parents now returns tuples. (Robert Collins)
2905
2906
* Ancient unused ``Repository.text_store`` attribute has been removed.
2907
(Robert Collins)
2908
2909
* The ``bzrlib.pack`` interface has changed to use tuples of bytestrings
2910
rather than just bytestrings, making it easier to represent multiple
2911
element names. As this interface was not used by any internal facilities
2912
since it was introduced in 0.18 no API compatibility is being preserved.
2913
The serialised form of these packs is identical with 0.18 when a single
2914
element tuple is in use. (Robert Collins)
2915
2916
INTERNALS:
2917
2918
* merge now uses ``iter_changes`` to calculate changes, which makes room for
2919
future performance increases. It is also more consistent with other
2920
operations that perform comparisons, and reduces reliance on
2921
Tree.inventory. (Aaron Bentley)
2922
2923
* Refactoring of transport classes connected to a remote server.
2924
ConnectedTransport is a new class that serves as a basis for all
2925
transports needing to connect to a remote server. transport.split_url
2926
have been deprecated, use the static method on the object instead. URL
2927
tests have been refactored too.
2928
(Vincent Ladeuil)
2929
2930
* Better connection sharing for ConnectedTransport objects.
2931
transport.get_transport() now accepts a 'possible_transports' parameter.
2932
If a newly requested transport can share a connection with one of the
2933
list, it will.
2934
(Vincent Ladeuil)
2935
2936
* Most functions now accept ``bzrlib.revision.NULL_REVISION`` to indicate
2937
the null revision, and consider using ``None`` for this purpose
2938
deprecated. (Aaron Bentley)
2939
2940
* New ``index`` module with abstract index functionality. This will be
2941
used during the planned changes in the repository layer. Currently the
2942
index layer provides a graph aware immutable index, a builder for the
2943
same index type to allow creating them, and finally a composer for
2944
such indices to allow the use of many indices in a single query. The
2945
index performance is not optimised, however the API is stable to allow
2946
development on top of the index. (Robert Collins)
2947
2948
* ``bzrlib.dirstate.cmp_by_dirs`` can be used to compare two paths by
2949
their directory sections. This is equivalent to comparing
2950
``path.split('/')``, only without having to split the paths.
2951
This has a Pyrex implementation available.
2952
(John Arbash Meinel)
2953
2954
* New transport decorator 'unlistable+' which disables the list_dir
2955
functionality for testing.
2956
2957
* Deprecated ``change_entry`` in transform.py. (Ian Clatworthy)
2958
2959
* RevisionTree.get_weave is now deprecated. Tree.plan_merge is now used
2960
for performing annotate-merge. (Aaron Bentley)
2961
2962
* New EmailMessage class to create email messages. (Adeodato Simó)
2963
2964
* Unused functions on the private interface KnitIndex have been removed.
2965
(Robert Collins)
2966
2967
* New ``knit.KnitGraphIndex`` which provides a ``KnitIndex`` layered on top
2968
of a ``index.GraphIndex``. (Robert Collins)
2969
2970
* New ``knit.KnitVersionedFile.iter_parents`` method that allows querying
2971
the parents of many knit nodes at once, reducing round trips to the
2972
underlying index. (Robert Collins)
2973
2974
* Graph now has an is_ancestor method, various bits use it.
2975
(Aaron Bentley)
2976
2977
* The ``-Dhpss`` flag now includes timing information. As well as
2978
logging when a new connection is opened. (John Arbash Meinel)
2979
2980
* ``bzrlib.pack.ContainerWriter`` now returns an offset, length tuple to
2981
callers when inserting data, allowing generation of readv style access
2982
during pack creation, without needing a separate pass across the output
2983
pack to gather such details. (Robert Collins)
2984
2985
* ``bzrlib.pack.make_readv_reader`` allows readv based access to pack
2986
files that are stored on a transport. (Robert Collins)
2987
2988
* New ``Repository.has_same_location`` method that reports if two
2989
repository objects refer to the same repository (although with some risk
2990
of false negatives). (Andrew Bennetts)
2991
2992
* InterTree.compare now passes require_versioned on correctly.
2993
(Marius Kruger)
2994
2995
* New methods on Repository - ``start_write_group``,
2996
``commit_write_group``, ``abort_write_group`` and ``is_in_write_group`` -
2997
which provide a clean hook point for transactional Repositories - ones
2998
where all the data for a fetch or commit needs to be made atomically
2999
available in one step. This allows the write lock to remain while making
3000
a series of data insertions. (e.g. data conversion). (Robert Collins)
3001
3002
* In ``bzrlib.knit`` the internal interface has been altered to use
3003
3-tuples (index, pos, length) rather than two-tuples (pos, length) to
3004
describe where data in a knit is, allowing knits to be split into
3005
many files. (Robert Collins)
3006
3007
* ``bzrlib.knit._KnitData`` split into cache management and physical access
3008
with two access classes - ``_PackAccess`` and ``_KnitAccess`` defined.
3009
The former provides access into a .pack file, and the latter provides the
3010
current production repository form of .knit files. (Robert Collins)
3011
3012
TESTING:
3013
3014
* Remove selftest ``--clean-output``, ``--numbered-dirs`` and
3015
``--keep-output`` options, which are obsolete now that tests
3016
are done within directories in $TMPDIR. (Martin Pool)
3017
3018
* The SSH_AUTH_SOCK environment variable is now reset to avoid
3019
interaction with any running ssh agents. (Jelmer Vernooij, #125955)
3020
3021
* run_bzr_subprocess handles parameters the same way as run_bzr:
3022
either a string or a list of strings should be passed as the first
3023
parameter. Varargs-style parameters are deprecated. (Aaron Bentley)

BUGFIXES:
3038
3039
* Do not suppress pipe errors, etc. in non-display commands
3040
(Alexander Belchenko, #87178)
3041
3042
* Display a useful error message when the user requests to annotate
3043
a file that is not present in the specified revision.
3044
(James Westby, #122656)
3045
3046
* Commands that use status flags now have a reference to 'help
3047
status-flags'. (Daniel Watkins, #113436)
3048
3049
* Work around python-2.4.1 inhability to correctly parse the
3050
authentication header.
3051
(Vincent Ladeuil, #121889)
3052
3053
* Use exact encoding for merge directives. (Adeodato Simó, #120591)
3054
3055
* Fix tempfile permissions error in smart server tar bundling under
3056
Windows. (Martin _, #119330)
3057
3058
* Fix detection of directory entries in the inventory. (James Westby)
3059
3060
* Fix handling of http code 400: Bad Request When issuing too many ranges.
3061
(Vincent Ladeuil, #115209)
3062
3063
* Issue a CONNECT request when connecting to an https server
3064
via a proxy to enable SSL tunneling.
3065
(Vincent Ladeuil, #120678)
3066
3067
* Fix ``bzr log -r`` to support selecting merge revisions, both
3068
individually and as part of revision ranges.
3069
(Kent Gibson, #4663)
3070
3071
* Don't leave cruft behind when failing to acquire a lockdir.
3072
(Martin Pool, #109169)
3073
3074
* Don't use the '-f' strace option during tests.
3075
(Vincent Ladeuil, #102019).
3076
3077
* Warn when setting ``push_location`` to a value that will be masked by
3078
locations.conf. (Aaron Bentley, #122286)
3079
3080
* Fix commit ordering in corner case (Aaron Bentley, #94975)
3081
3082
* Make annotate behave in a non-ASCII world (Adeodato Simó).
3083
3084
IMPROVEMENTS:
3085
3086
* The --lsprof-file option now dumps a text rendering of the profiling
3087
information if the filename ends in ".txt". It will also convert the
3088
profiling information to a format suitable for KCacheGrind if the
3089
output filename ends in ".callgrind". Fixes to the lsprofcalltree
3090
conversion process by Jean Paul Calderone and Itamar were also merged.
3091
See http://ddaa.net/blog/python/lsprof-calltree. (Ian Clatworthy)
3092
3093
* ``info`` now defaults to non-verbose mode, displaying only paths and
3094
abbreviated format info. ``info -v`` displays all the information
3095
formerly displayed by ``info``. (Aaron Bentley, Adeodato Simó)
3096
3097
* ``bzr missing`` now has better option names ``--this`` and ``--other``.
3098
(Elliot Murphy)
3099
3100
* The internal ``weave-list`` command has become ``versionedfile-list``,
3101
and now lists knits as well as weaves. (Aaron Bentley)
3102
3103
* Automatic merge base selection uses a faster algorithm that chooses
3104
better bases in criss-cross merge situations (Aaron Bentley)
3105
3106
* Progress reporting in ``commit`` has been improved. The various logical
3107
stages are now reported on as follows, namely:
3108
3109
* Collecting changes [Entry x/y] - Stage n/m
3110
* Saving data locally - Stage n/m
3111
* Uploading data to master branch - Stage n/m
3112
* Updating the working tree - Stage n/m
3113
* Running post commit hooks - Stage n/m
3114
3115
If there is no master branch, the 3rd stage is omitted and the total
3116
number of stages is adjusted accordingly.
3117
3118
Each hook that is run after commit is listed with a name (as hooks
3119
can be slow it is useful feedback).
3120
(Ian Clatworthy, Robert Collins)
3121
3122
* Various operations that are now faster due to avoiding unnecessary
3123
topological sorts. (Aaron Bentley)
3124
3125
* Make merge directives robust against broken bundles. (Aaron Bentley)
3126
3127
* The lsprof filename note is emitted via trace.note(), not standard
3128
output. (Aaron Bentley)
3129
3130
* ``bzrlib`` now exports explicit API compatibility information to assist
3131
library users and plugins. See the ``bzrlib.api`` module for details.
3132
(Robert Collins)
3133
3134
* Remove unnecessary lock probes when acquiring a lockdir.
3135
(Martin Pool)
3136
3137
* ``bzr --version`` now shows the location of the bzr log file, which
3138
is especially useful on Windows. (Martin Pool)
3139
3140
* -D now supports hooks to get debug tracing of hooks (though its currently
3141
minimal in nature). (Robert Collins)
3142
3143
* Long log format reports deltas on merge revisions.
3144
(John Arbash Meinel, Kent Gibson)
3145
3146
* Make initial push over ftp more resilient. (John Arbash Meinel)
3147
3148
* Print a summary of changes for update just like pull does.
3149
(Daniel Watkins, #113990)
3150
3151
* Add a -Dhpss option to trace smart protocol requests and responses.
3152
(Andrew Bennetts)
3153
3154
LIBRARY API BREAKS:
3155
3156
* Testing cleanups -
3157
``bzrlib.repository.RepositoryTestProviderAdapter`` has been moved
3158
to ``bzrlib.tests.repository_implementations``;
3159
``bzrlib.repository.InterRepositoryTestProviderAdapter`` has been moved
3160
to ``bzrlib.tests.interrepository_implementations``;
3161
``bzrlib.transport.TransportTestProviderAdapter`` has moved to
3162
``bzrlib.tests.test_transport_implementations``.
3163
``bzrlib.branch.BranchTestProviderAdapter`` has moved to
3164
``bzrlib.tests.branch_implementations``.
3165
``bzrlib.bzrdir.BzrDirTestProviderAdapter`` has moved to
3166
``bzrlib.tests.bzrdir_implementations``.
3167
``bzrlib.versionedfile.InterVersionedFileTestProviderAdapter`` has moved
3168
to ``bzrlib.tests.interversionedfile_implementations``.
3169
``bzrlib.store.revision.RevisionStoreTestProviderAdapter`` has moved to
3170
``bzrlib.tests.revisionstore_implementations``.
3171
``bzrlib.workingtree.WorkingTreeTestProviderAdapter`` has moved to
3172
``bzrlib.tests.workingtree_implementations``.
3173
These changes are an API break in the testing infrastructure only.
3174
(Robert Collins)
3175
3176
* Relocate TestCaseWithRepository to be more central. (Robert Collins)
3177
3178
* ``bzrlib.add.smart_add_tree`` will no longer perform glob expansion on
3179
win32. Callers of the function should do this and use the new
3180
``MutableTree.smart_add`` method instead. (Robert Collins)
3181
3182
* ``bzrlib.add.glob_expand_for_win32`` is now
3183
``bzrlib.win32utils.glob_expand``. (Robert Collins)
3184
3185
* ``bzrlib.add.FastPath`` is now private and moved to
3186
``bzrlib.mutabletree._FastPath``. (Robert Collins, Martin Pool)
3187
3188
* ``LockDir.wait`` removed. (Martin Pool)
3189
3190
* The ``SmartServer`` hooks API has changed for the ``server_started`` and
3191
``server_stopped`` hooks. The first parameter is now an iterable of
3192
backing URLs rather than a single URL. This is to reflect that many
3193
URLs may map to the external URL of the server. E.g. the server interally
3194
may have a chrooted URL but also the local file:// URL will be at the
3195
same location. (Robert Collins)
3196
3197
INTERNALS:
3198
3199
* New SMTPConnection class to unify email handling. (Adeodato Simó)
3200
3201
* Fix documentation of BzrError. (Adeodato Simó)
3202
3203
* Make BzrBadParameter an internal error. (Adeodato Simó)
3204
3205
* Remove use of 'assert False' to raise an exception unconditionally.
3206
(Martin Pool)
3207
3208
* Give a cleaner error when failing to decode knit index entry.
3209
(Martin Pool)
3210
3211
* TreeConfig would mistakenly search the top level when asked for options
3212
from a section. It now respects the section argument and only
3213
searches the specified section. (James Westby)
3214
3215
* Improve ``make api-docs`` output. (John Arbash Meinel)
3216
3217
* Use os.lstat rather than os.stat for osutils.make_readonly and
3218
osutils.make_writeable. This makes the difftools plugin more
3219
robust when dangling symlinks are found. (Elliot Murphy)
3220
3221
* New ``-Dlock`` option to log (to ~/.bzr.log) information on when
3222
lockdirs are taken or released. (Martin Pool)
3223
3224
* ``bzrlib`` Hooks are now nameable using ``Hooks.name_hook``. This
3225
allows a nicer UI when hooks are running as the current hook can
3226
be displayed. (Robert Collins)
3227
3228
* ``Transport.get`` has had its interface made more clear for ease of use.
3229
Retrieval of a directory must now fail with either 'PathError' at open
3230
time, or raise 'ReadError' on a read. (Robert Collins)
3231
3232
* New method ``_maybe_expand_globs`` on the ``Command`` class for
3233
dealing with unexpanded glob lists - e.g. on the win32 platform. This
3234
was moved from ``bzrlib.add._prepare_file_list``. (Robert Collins)
3235
3236
* ``bzrlib.add.smart_add`` and ``bzrlib.add.smart_add_tree`` are now
3237
deprecated in favour of ``MutableTree.smart_add``. (Robert Collins,
3238
Martin Pool)
3239
3240
* New method ``external_url`` on Transport for obtaining the url to
3241
hand to external processes. (Robert Collins)
3242
3243
* Teach windows installers to build pyrex/C extensions.
3244
(Alexander Belchenko)
3245
3246
TESTING:
3247
3248
* Removed the ``--keep-output`` option from selftest and clean up test
3249
directories as they're used. This reduces the IO load from
3250
running the test suite and cuts the time by about half.
3251
(Andrew Bennetts, Martin Pool)
3252
3253
* Add scenarios as a public attribute on the TestAdapter classes to allow
3254
modification of the generated scenarios before adaption and easier
3255
testing. (Robert Collins)
3256
3257
* New testing support class ``TestScenarioApplier`` which multiplies
3258
out a single teste by a list of supplied scenarios. (RobertCollins)
3259
3260
* Setting ``repository_to_test_repository`` on a repository_implementations
3261
test will cause it to be called during repository creation, allowing the
3262
testing of repository classes which are not based around the Format
3263
concept. For example a repository adapter can be tested in this manner,
3264
by altering the repository scenarios to include a scenario that sets this
3265
attribute during the test parameterisation in
3266
``bzrlib.tests.repository.repository_implementations``. (Robert Collins)
3267
3268
* Clean up many of the APIs for blackbox testing of Bazaar. The standard
3269
interface is now self.run_bzr. The command to run can be passed as
3270
either a list of parameters, a string containing the command line, or
3271
(deprecated) varargs parameters. (Martin Pool)
3272
3273
* The base TestCase now isolates tests from -D parameters by clearing
3274
``debug.debug_flags`` and restores it afterwards. (Robert Collins)
3275
3276
* Add a relpath parameter to get_transport methods in test framework to
3277
avoid useless cloning.

3296
NOTES WHEN UPGRADING:
3297
3298
* The kind() and is_executable() APIs on the WorkingTree interface no
3299
longer implicitly (read) locks and unlocks the tree. This *might*
3300
impact some plug-ins and tools using this part of the API. If you find
3301
an issue that may be caused by this change, please let us know,
3302
particularly the plug-in/tool maintainer. If encountered, the API
3303
fix is to surround kind() and is_executable() calls with lock_read()
3304
and unlock() like so::
3305
3306
work_tree.lock_read()
3307
try:
3308
kind = work_tree.kind(...)
3309
finally:
3310
work_tree.unlock()
3311
3312
INTERNALS:
3313
* Rework of LogFormatter API to provide beginning/end of log hooks and to
3314
encapsulate the details of the revision to be logged in a LogRevision
3315
object.
3316
In long log formats, merge revision ids are only shown when --show-ids
3317
is specified, and are labelled "revision-id:", as per mainline
3318
revisions, instead of "merged:". (Kent Gibson)
3319
3320
* New ``BranchBuilder`` API which allows the construction of particular
3321
histories quickly. Useful for testing and potentially other applications
3322
too. (Robert Collins)
3323
3324
IMPROVEMENTS:
3325
3326
* There are two new help topics, working-trees and repositories that
3327
attempt to explain these concepts. (James Westby, John Arbash Meinel,
3328
Aaron Bentley)
3329
3330
* Added ``bzr log --limit`` to report a limited number of revisions.
3331
(Kent Gibson, #3659)
3332
3333
* Revert does not try to preserve file contents that were originally
3334
produced by reverting to a historical revision. (Aaron Bentley)
3335
3336
* ``bzr log --short`` now includes ``[merge]`` for revisions which
3337
have more than one parent. This is a small improvement to help
3338
understanding what changes have occurred
3339
(John Arbash Meinel, #83887)
3340
3341
* TreeTransform avoids many renames when contructing large trees,
3342
improving speed. 3.25x speedups have been observed for construction of
3343
kernel-sized-trees, and checkouts are 1.28x faster. (Aaron Bentley)
3344
3345
* Commit on large trees is now faster. In my environment, a commit of
3346
a small change to the Mozilla tree (55k files) has dropped from
3347
66 seconds to 32 seconds. For a small tree of 600 files, commit of a
3348
small change is 33% faster. (Ian Clatworthy)
3349
3350
* New --create-prefix option to bzr init, like for push. (Daniel Watkins,
3351
#56322)
3352
3353
BUGFIXES:
3354
3355
* ``bzr push`` should only connect to the remote location one time.
3356
We have been connecting 3 times because we forget to pass around
3357
the Transport object. This adds ``BzrDir.clone_on_transport()``, so
3358
that we can pass in the Transport that we already have.
3359
(John Arbash Meinel, #75721)
3360
3361
* ``DirState.set_state_from_inventory()`` needs to properly order
3362
based on split paths, not just string paths.
3363
(John Arbash Meinel, #115947)
3364
3365
* Let TestUIFactoy encode the password prompt with its own stdout.
3366
(Vincent Ladeuil, #110204)
3367
3368
* pycurl should take use the range header that takes the range hint
3369
into account.
3370
(Vincent Ladeuil, #112719)
3371
3372
* WorkingTree4.get_file_sha1 no longer raises an exception when invoked
3373
on a missing file. (Aaron Bentley, #118186)
3374
3375
* WorkingTree.remove works correctly with tree references, and when pwd is
3376
not the tree root. (Aaron Bentley)
3377
3378
* Merge no longer fails when a file is renamed in one tree and deleted
3379
in the other. (Aaron Bentley, #110279)
3380
3381
* ``revision-info`` now accepts dotted revnos, doesn't require a tree,
3382
and defaults to the last revision (Matthew Fuller, #90048)
3383
3384
* Tests no longer fail when BZR_REMOTE_PATH is set in the environment.
3385
(Daniel Watkins, #111958)
3386
3387
* ``bzr branch -r revid:foo`` can be used to branch any revision in
3388
your repository. (Previously Branch6 only supported revisions in your
3389
mainline). (John Arbash Meinel, #115343)

--------------------
3393
3394
BUGFIXES:
3395
3396
* Handle when you have 2 directories with similar names, but one has a
3397
hyphen. (``'abc'`` versus ``'abc-2'``). The WT4._iter_changes
3398
iterator was using direct comparison and ``'abc/a'`` sorts after
3399
``'abc-2'``, but ``('abc', 'a')`` sorts before ``('abc-2',)``.
3400
(John Arbash Meinel, #111227)
3401
3402
* Handle when someone renames a file on disk without telling bzr.
3403
Previously we would report the first file as missing, but not show
3404
the new unknown file. (John Arbash Meinel, #111288)
3405
3406
* Avoid error when running hooks after pulling into or pushing from
3407
a branch bound to a smartserver branch. (Martin Pool, #111968)
3408
3409
IMPROVEMENTS:
3410
3411
* Move developer documentation to doc/developers/. This reduces clutter in
3412
the root of the source tree and allows HACKING to be split into multiple
3413
files. (Robert Collins, Alexander Belchenko)
3414
3415
* Clean up the ``WorkingTree4._iter_changes()`` internal loops as well as
3416
``DirState.update_entry()``. This optimizes the core logic for ``bzr
3417
diff`` and ``bzr status`` significantly improving the speed of
3418
both. (John Arbash Meinel)

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

* Don't preventively use basic authentication for proxy before receiving a
3699
407 error. Otherwise people willing to use other authentication schemes
3700
may expose their password in the clear (or nearly). This add one
3701
roundtrip in case basic authentication should be used, but plug the
3702
security hole.
3703
(Vincent Ladeuil)
3704
3705
* Handle http and proxy digest authentication.
3706
(Vincent Ladeuil, #94034).
3707
3708
TESTING:
3709
3710
* Added ``bzrlib.strace.strace`` which will strace a single callable and
3711
return a StraceResult object which contains just the syscalls involved
3712
in running it. (Robert Collins)
3713
3714
* New test method ``reduceLockdirTimeout`` to drop the default (ui-centric)
3715
default time down to one suitable for tests. (Andrew Bennetts)
3716
3717
* Add new ``vfs_transport_factory`` attribute on tests which provides the
3718
common vfs backing for both the readonly and readwrite transports.
3719
This allows the RemoteObject tests to back onto local disk or memory,
3720
and use the existing ``transport_server`` attribute all tests know about
3721
to be the smart server transport. This in turn allows tests to
3722
differentiate between 'transport to access the branch', and
3723
'transport which is a VFS' - which matters in Remote* tests.
3724
(Robert Collins, Andrew Bennetts)
3725
3726
* The ``make_branch_and_tree`` method for tests will now create a
3727
lightweight checkout for the tree if the ``vfs_transport_factory`` is not
3728
a LocalURLServer. (Robert Collins, Andrew Bennetts)
3729
3730
* Branch implementation tests have been audited to ensure that all urls
3731
passed to Branch APIs use proper urls, except when local-disk paths
3732
are intended. This is so that tests correctly access the test transport
3733
which is often not equivalent to local disk in Remote* tests. As part
3734
of this many tests were adjusted to remove dependencies on local disk
3735
access.
3736
(Robert Collins, Andrew Bennetts)
3737
3738
* Mark bzrlib.tests and bzrlib.tests.TestUtil as providing assertFOO helper
3739
functions by adding a ``__unittest`` global attribute. (Robert Collins,
3740
Andrew Bennetts, Martin Pool, Jonathan Lange)
3741
3742
* Refactored proxy and authentication handling to simplify the
3743
implementation of new auth schemes for both http and proxy.

3761
CHANGES:
3762
3763
* A warning is now displayed when opening working trees in older
3764
formats, to encourage people to upgrade to WorkingTreeFormat4.
3765
(Martin Pool)
3766
3767
IMPROVEMENTS:
3768
3769
* HTTP redirections are now taken into account when a branch (or a
3770
bundle) is accessed for the first time. A message is issued at each
3771
redirection to inform the user. In the past, http redirections were
3772
silently followed for each request which significantly degraded the
3773
performances. The http redirections are not followed anymore by
3774
default, instead a RedirectRequested exception is raised. For bzrlib
3775
users needing to follow http redirections anyway,
3776
``bzrlib.transport.do_catching_redirections`` provide an easy transition
3777
path. (vila)
3778
3779
INTERNALS:
3780
3781
* Added ``ReadLock.temporary_write_lock()`` to allow upgrading an OS read
3782
lock to an OS write lock. Linux can do this without unlocking, Win32
3783
needs to unlock in between. (John Arbash Meinel)
3784
3785
* New parameter ``recommend_upgrade`` to ``BzrDir.open_workingtree``
3786
to silence (when false) warnings about opening old formats.
3787
(Martin Pool)
3788
3789
* Fix minor performance regression with bzr-0.15 on pre-dirstate
3790
trees. (We were reading the working inventory too many times).
3791
(John Arbash Meinel)
3792
3793
* Remove ``Branch.get_transaction()`` in favour of a simple cache of
3794
``revision_history``. Branch subclasses should override
3795
``_gen_revision_history`` rather than ``revision_history`` to make use of
3796
this cache, and call ``_clear_revision_history_cache`` and
3797
``_cache_revision_history`` at appropriate times. (Andrew Bennetts)
3798
3799
BUGFIXES:
3800
3801
* Take ``smtp_server`` from user config into account.
3802
(vila, #92195)
3803
3804
* Restore Unicode filename handling for versioned and unversioned files.
3805
(John Arbash Meinel, #92608)
3806
3807
* Don't fail during ``bzr commit`` if a file is marked removed, and
3808
the containing directory is auto-removed. (John Arbash Meinel, #93681)
3809
3810
* ``bzr status FILENAME`` failed on Windows because of an uncommon
3811
errno. (``ERROR_DIRECTORY == 267 != ENOTDIR``).
3812
(Wouter van Heyst, John Arbash Meinel, #90819)
3813
3814
* ``bzr checkout source`` should create a local branch in the same
3815
format as source. (John Arbash Meinel, #93854)
3816
3817
* ``bzr commit`` with a kind change was failing to update the
3818
last-changed-revision for directories. The
3819
InventoryDirectory._unchanged only looked at the ``parent_id`` and name,
3820
ignoring the fact that the kind could have changed, too.
3821
(John Arbash Meinel, #90111)
3822
3823
* ``bzr mv dir/subdir other`` was incorrectly updating files inside
3824
the directory. So that there was a chance it would break commit,
3825
etc. (John Arbash Meinel, #94037)
3826
3827
* Correctly handles mutiple permanent http redirections.

3831
-----------------------
3832
3833
NOTES WHEN UPGRADING:
3834
3835
* Release 0.15rc2 of bzr changes the ``bzr init-repo`` command to
3836
default to ``--trees`` instead of ``--no-trees``.
3837
Existing shared repositories are not affected.
3838
3839
IMPROVEMENTS:
3840
3841
* New ``merge-directive`` command to generate machine- and human-readable
3842
merge requests. (Aaron Bentley)
3843
3844
* New ``submit:`` revision specifier makes it easy to diff against the
3845
common ancestor with the submit location (Aaron Bentley)
3846
3847
* Added support for Putty's SSH implementation. (Dmitry Vasiliev)
3848
3849
* Added ``bzr status --versioned`` to report only versioned files,
3850
not unknowns. (Kent Gibson)
3851
3852
* Merge now autodetects the correct line-ending style for its conflict
3853
markers. (Aaron Bentley)
3854
3855
INTERNALS:
3856
3857
* Refactored SSH vendor registration into SSHVendorManager class.
3858
(Dmitry Vasiliev)
3859
3860
BUGFIXES:
3861
3862
* New ``--numbered-dirs`` option to ``bzr selftest`` to use
3863
numbered dirs for TestCaseInTempDir. This is default behavior
3864
on Windows. Anyone can force named dirs on Windows
3865
with ``--no-numbered-dirs``. (Alexander Belchenko)
3866
3867
* Fix ``RevisionSpec_revid`` to handle the Unicode strings passed in
3868
from the command line. (Marien Zwart, #90501)
3869
3870
* Fix ``TreeTransform._iter_changes`` when both the source and
3871
destination are missing. (Aaron Bentley, #88842)
3872
3873
* Fix commit of merges with symlinks in dirstate trees.
3874
(Marien Zwart)
3875
3876
* Switch the ``bzr init-repo`` default from --no-trees to --trees.

3880
bzr 0.15rc1 2007-03-07
3881
-----------------------
3882
3883
SURPRISES:
3884
3885
* The default disk format has changed. Please run 'bzr upgrade' in your
3886
working trees to upgrade. This new default is compatible for network
3887
operations, but not for local operations. That is, if you have two
3888
versions of bzr installed locally, after upgrading you can only use the
3889
bzr 0.15 version. This new default does not enable tags or nested-trees
3890
as they are incompatible with bzr versions before 0.15 over the network.
3891
3892
* For users of bzrlib: Two major changes have been made to the working tree
3893
api in bzrlib. The first is that many methods and attributes, including
3894
the inventory attribute, are no longer valid for use until one of
3895
``lock_read``/``lock_write``/``lock_tree_write`` has been called,
3896
and become invalid again after unlock is called. This has been done
3897
to improve performance and correctness as part of the dirstate
3898
development.
3899
(Robert Collins, John A Meinel, Martin Pool, and others).
3900
3901
* For users of bzrlib: The attribute 'tree.inventory' should be considered
3902
readonly. Previously it was possible to directly alter this attribute, or
3903
its contents, and have the tree notice this. This has been made
3904
unsupported - it may work in some tree formats, but in the newer dirstate
3905
format such actions will have no effect and will be ignored, or even
3906
cause assertions. All operations possible can still be carried out by a
3907
combination of the tree API, and the bzrlib.transform API. (Robert
3908
Collins, John A Meinel, Martin Pool, and others).
3909
3910
IMPROVEMENTS:
3911
3912
* Support for OS Windows 98. Also .bzr.log on any windows system
3913
saved in My Documents folder. (Alexander Belchenko)
3914
3915
* ``bzr mv`` enhanced to support already moved files.
3916
In the past the mv command would have failed if the source file doesn't
3917
exist. In this situation ``bzr mv`` would now detect that the file has
3918
already moved and update the repository accordingly, if the target file
3919
does exist.
3920
A new option ``--after`` has been added so that if two files already
3921
exist, you could notify Bazaar that you have moved a (versioned) file
3922
and replaced it with another. Thus in this case ``bzr move --after``
3923
will only update the Bazaar identifier.
3924
(Steffen Eichenberg, Marius Kruger)
3925
3926
* ``ls`` now works on treeless branches and remote branches.
3927
(Aaron Bentley)
3928
3929
* ``bzr help global-options`` describes the global options.
3930
(Aaron Bentley)
3931
3932
* ``bzr pull --overwrite`` will now correctly overwrite checkouts.
3933
(Robert Collins)
3934
3935
* Files are now allowed to change kind (e.g. from file to symlink).
3936
Supported by ``commit``, ``revert`` and ``status``
3937
(Aaron Bentley)
3938
3939
* ``inventory`` and ``unknowns`` hidden in favour of ``ls``
3940
(Aaron Bentley)
3941
3942
* ``bzr help checkouts`` descibes what checkouts are and some possible
3943
uses of them. (James Westby, Aaron Bentley)
3944
3945
* A new ``-d`` option to push, pull and merge overrides the default
3946
directory. (Martin Pool)
3947
3948
* Branch format 6: smaller, and potentially faster than format 5. Supports
3949
``append_history_only`` mode, where the log view and revnos do not change,
3950
except by being added to. Stores policy settings in
3951
".bzr/branch/branch.conf".
3952
3953
* ``append_only`` branches: Format 6 branches may be configured so that log
3954
view and revnos are always consistent. Either create the branch using
3955
"bzr init --append-revisions-only" or edit the config file as descriped
3956
in docs/configuration.txt.
3957
3958
* rebind: Format 6 branches retain the last-used bind location, so if you
3959
"bzr unbind", you can "bzr bind" to bind to the previously-selected
3960
bind location.
3961
3962
* Builtin tags support, created and deleted by the ``tag`` command and
3963
stored in the branch. Tags can be accessed with the revisionspec
3964
``-rtag:``, and listed with ``bzr tags``. Tags are not versioned
3965
at present. Tags require a network incompatible upgrade. To perform this
3966
upgrade, run ``bzr upgrade --dirstate-tags`` in your branch and
3967
repositories. (Martin Pool)
3968
3969
* The ``bzr://`` transport now has a well-known port number, 4155,
3970
which it will use by default. (Andrew Bennetts, Martin Pool)
3971
3972
* Bazaar now looks for user-installed plugins before looking for site-wide
3973
plugins. (Jonathan Lange)
3974
3975
* ``bzr resolve`` now detects and marks resolved text conflicts.
3976
(Aaron Bentley)
3977
3978
INTERNALS:
3979
3980
* Internally revision ids and file ids are now passed around as utf-8
3981
bytestrings, rather than treating them as Unicode strings. This has
3982
performance benefits for Knits, since we no longer need to decode the
3983
revision id for each line of content, nor for each entry in the index.
3984
This will also help with the future dirstate format.
3985
(John Arbash Meinel)
3986
3987
* Reserved ids (any revision-id ending in a colon) are rejected by
3988
versionedfiles, repositories, branches, and working trees
3989
(Aaron Bentley)
3990
3991
* Minor performance improvement by not creating a ProgressBar for
3992
every KnitIndex we create. (about 90ms for a bzr.dev tree)
3993
(John Arbash Meinel)
3994
3995
* New easier to use Branch hooks facility. There are five initial hooks,
3996
all documented in bzrlib.branch.BranchHooks.__init__ - ``'set_rh'``,
3997
``'post_push'``, ``'post_pull'``, ``'post_commit'``,
3998
``'post_uncommit'``. These hooks fire after the matching operation
3999
on a branch has taken place, and were originally added for the
4000
branchrss plugin. (Robert Collins)
4001
4002
* New method ``Branch.push()`` which should be used when pushing from a
4003
branch as it makes performance and policy decisions to match the UI
4004
level command ``push``. (Robert Collins).
4005
4006
* Add a new method ``Tree.revision_tree`` which allows access to cached
4007
trees for arbitrary revisions. This allows the in development dirstate
4008
tree format to provide access to the callers to cached copies of
4009
inventory data which are cheaper to access than inventories from the
4010
repository.
4011
(Robert Collins, Martin Pool)
4012
4013
* New ``Branch.last_revision_info`` method, this is being done to allow
4014
optimization of requests for both the number of revisions and the last
4015
revision of a branch with smartservers and potentially future branch
4016
formats. (Wouter van Heyst, Robert Collins)
4017
4018
* Allow ``'import bzrlib.plugins.NAME'`` to work when the plugin NAME has not
4019
yet been loaded by ``load_plugins()``. This allows plugins to depend on each
4020
other for code reuse without requiring users to perform file-renaming
4021
gymnastics. (Robert Collins)
4022
4023
* New Repository method ``'gather_stats'`` for statistic data collection.
4024
This is expected to grow to cover a number of related uses mainly
4025
related to bzr info. (Robert Collins)
4026
4027
* Log formatters are now managed with a registry.
4028
``log.register_formatter`` continues to work, but callers accessing
4029
the FORMATTERS dictionary directly will not.
4030
4031
* Allow a start message to be passed to the ``edit_commit_message``
4032
function. This will be placed in the message offered to the user
4033
for editing above the separator. It allows a template commit message
4034
to be used more easily. (James Westby)
4035
4036
* ``GPGStrategy.sign()`` will now raise ``BzrBadParameterUnicode`` if
4037
you pass a Unicode string rather than an 8-bit string. Callers need
4038
to be updated to encode first. (John Arbash Meinel)
4039
4040
* Branch.push, pull, merge now return Result objects with information
4041
about what happened, rather than a scattering of various methods. These
4042
are also passed to the post hooks. (Martin Pool)
4043
4044
* File formats and architecture is in place for managing a forest of trees
4045
in bzr, and splitting up existing trees into smaller subtrees, and
4046
finally joining trees to make a larger tree. This is the first iteration
4047
of this support, and the user-facing aspects still require substantial
4048
work. If you wish to experiment with it, use ``bzr upgrade
4049
--dirstate-with-subtree`` in your working trees and repositories.
4050
You can use the hidden commands ``split`` and ``join`` and to create
4051
and manipulate nested trees, but please consider using the nested-trees
4052
branch, which contains substantial UI improvements, instead.
4053
http://code.aaronbentley.com/bzr/bzrrepo/nested-trees/
4054
(Aaron Bentley, Martin Pool, Robert Collins).
4055
4056
BUGFIXES:
4057
4058
* ``bzr annotate`` now uses dotted revnos from the viewpoint of the
4059
branch, rather than the last changed revision of the file.
4060
(John Arbash Meinel, #82158)
4061
4062
* Lock operations no longer hang if they encounter a permission problem.
4063
(Aaron Bentley)
4064
4065
* ``bzr push`` can resume a push that was canceled before it finished.
4066
Also, it can push even if the target directory exists if you supply
4067
the ``--use-existing-dir`` flag.
4068
(John Arbash Meinel, #30576, #45504)
4069
4070
* Fix http proxy authentication when user and an optional
4071
password appears in the ``*_proxy`` vars. (Vincent Ladeuil,
4072
#83954).
4073
4074
* ``bzr log branch/file`` works for local treeless branches
4075
(Aaron Bentley, #84247)
4076
4077
* Fix problem with UNC paths on Windows 98. (Alexander Belchenko, #84728)
4078
4079
* Searching location of CA bundle for PyCurl in env variable
4080
(``CURL_CA_BUNDLE``), and on win32 along the PATH.
4081
(Alexander Belchenko, #82086)
4082
4083
* ``bzr init`` works with unicode argument LOCATION.
4084
(Alexander Belchenko, #85599)
4085
4086
* Raise ``DependencyNotPresent`` if pycurl do not support https.
4087
(Vincent Ladeuil, #85305)
4088
4089
* Invalid proxy env variables should not cause a traceback.
4090
(Vincent Ladeuil, #87765)
4091
4092
* Ignore patterns normalised to use '/' path separator.
4093
(Kent Gibson, #86451)
4094
4095
* bzr rocks. It sure does! Fix case. (Vincent Ladeuil, #78026)
4096

* Fix bzrtools shelve command for removed lines beginning with "--"
4098
(Johan Dahlberg, #75577)
4099
4100
TESTING:
4101
4102

* ``bzr help global-options`` describes the global options. (Aaron Bentley)
4112
4113
BUG FIXES:
4114
4115
* Skip documentation generation tests if the tools to do so are not
4116
available. Fixes running selftest for installled copies of bzr.
4117
(John Arbash Meinel, #80330)
4118
4119
* Fix the code that discovers whether bzr is being run from it's
4120
working tree to handle the case when it isn't but the directory
4121
it is in is below a repository. (James Westby, #77306)

4125
-----------------------
4126
4127
IMPROVEMENTS:
4128
4129
* New connection: ``bzr+http://`` which supports tunnelling the smart
4130
protocol over an HTTP connection. If writing is enabled on the bzr
4131
server, then you can write over the http connection.
4132
(Andrew Bennetts, John Arbash Meinel)
4133
4134
* Aliases now support quotation marks, so they can contain whitespace
4135
(Marius Kruger)
4136
4137
* PyCurlTransport now use a single curl object. By specifying explicitly
4138
the 'Range' header, we avoid the need to use two different curl objects
4139
(and two connections to the same server). (Vincent Ladeuil)
4140
4141
* ``bzr commit`` does not prompt for a message until it is very likely to
4142
succeed. (Aaron Bentley)
4143
4144
* ``bzr conflicts`` now takes --text to list pathnames of text conflicts
4145
(Aaron Bentley)
4146
4147
* Fix ``iter_lines_added_or_present_in_versions`` to use a set instead
4148
of a list while checking if a revision id was requested. Takes 10s
4149
off of the ``fileids_affected_by_revision_ids`` time, which is 10s
4150
of the ``bzr branch`` time. Also improve ``fileids_...`` time by
4151
filtering lines with a regex rather than multiple ``str.find()``
4152
calls. (saves another 300ms) (John Arbash Meinel)
4153
4154
* Policy can be set for each configuration key. This allows keys to be
4155
inherited properly across configuration entries. For example, this
4156
should enable you to do::
4157
4158
[/home/user/project]
4159
push_location = sftp://host/srv/project/
4160
push_location:policy = appendpath
4161
4162
And then a branch like ``/home/user/project/mybranch`` should get an
4163
automatic push location of ``sftp://host/srv/project/mybranch``.
4164
(James Henstridge)
4165
4166
* Added ``bzr status --short`` to make status report svn style flags
4167
for each file. For example::
4168
4169
$ bzr status --short
4170
A foo
4171
A bar
4172
D baz
4173
? wooley
4174
4175
* 'bzr selftest --clean-output' allows easily clean temporary tests
4176
directories without running tests. (Alexander Belchenko)
4177
4178
* ``bzr help hidden-commands`` lists all hidden commands. (Aaron Bentley)
4179
4180
* ``bzr merge`` now has an option ``--pull`` to fall back to pull if
4181
local is fully merged into remote. (Jan Hudec)
4182
4183
* ``bzr help formats`` describes available directory formats. (Aaron Bentley)
4184
4185
INTERNALS:
4186
4187
* A few tweaks directly to ``fileids_affected_by_revision_ids`` to
4188
help speed up processing, as well allowing to extract unannotated
4189
lines. Between the two ``fileids_affected_by_revision_ids`` is
4190
improved by approx 10%. (John Arbash Meinel)
4191
4192
* Change Revision serialization to only write out millisecond
4193
resolution. Rather than expecting floating point serialization to
4194
preserve more resolution than we need. (Henri Weichers, Martin Pool)
4195
4196
* Test suite ends cleanly on Windows. (Vincent Ladeuil)
4197
4198
* When ``encoding_type`` attribute of class Command is equal to 'exact',
4199
force sys.stdout to be a binary stream on Windows, and therefore
4200
keep exact line-endings (without LF -> CRLF conversion).
4201
(Alexander Belchenko)
4202
4203
* Single-letter short options are no longer globally declared. (Martin
4204
Pool)
4205
4206
* Before using detected user/terminal encoding bzr should check
4207
that Python has corresponding codec. (Alexander Belchenko)
4208
4209
* Formats for end-user selection are provided via a FormatRegistry (Aaron Bentley)
4210
4211
BUG FIXES:
4212
4213
* ``bzr missing --verbose`` was showing adds/removals in the wrong
4214
direction. (John Arbash Meinel)
4215
4216
* ``bzr annotate`` now defaults to showing dotted revnos for merged
4217
revisions. It cuts them off at a depth of 12 characters, but you can
4218
supply ``--long`` to see the full number. You can also use
4219
``--show-ids`` to display the original revision ids, rather than
4220
revision numbers and committer names. (John Arbash Meinel, #75637)
4221
4222
* bzr now supports Win32 UNC path (e.g. ``\HOST\path``.
4223
(Alexander Belchenko, #57869)
4224
4225
* Win32-specific: output of cat, bundle and diff commands don't mangle
4226
line-endings (Alexander Belchenko, #55276)
4227
4228
* Replace broken fnmatch based ignore pattern matching with custom pattern
4229
matcher.
4230
(Kent Gibson, Jan Hudec #57637)
4231
4232
* pycurl and urllib can detect short reads at different places. Update
4233
the test suite to test more cases. Also detect http error code 416
4234
which was raised for that specific bug. Also enhance the urllib
4235
robustness by detecting invalid ranges (and pycurl's one by detecting
4236
short reads during the initial GET). (Vincent Ladeuil, #73948)
4237
4238
* The urllib connection sharing interacts badly with urllib2
4239
proxy setting (the connections didn't go thru the proxy
4240
anymore). Defining a proper ProxyHandler solves the
4241
problem. (Vincent Ladeuil, #74759)
4242
4243
* Use urlutils to generate relative URLs, not osutils
4244
(Aaron Bentley, #76229)
4245
4246
* ``bzr status`` in a readonly directory should work without giving
4247
lots of errors. (John Arbash Meinel, #76299)
4248
4249
* Mention the revisionspec topic for the revision option help.
4250
(Wouter van Heyst, #31663)
4251
4252
* Allow plugins import from zip archives.

4264
IMPROVEMENTS:
4265
4266
* New command ``bzr remove-tree`` allows the removal of the working
4267
tree from a branch.
4268
(Daniel Silverstone)
4269
4270
* urllib uses shared keep-alive connections, so http
4271
operations are substantially faster.
4272
(Vincent Ladeuil, #53654)
4273
4274
* ``bzr export`` allows an optional branch parameter, to export a bzr
4275
tree from some other url. For example:
4276
``bzr export bzr.tar.gz http://bazaar-vcs.org/bzr/bzr.dev``
4277
(Daniel Silverstone)
4278
4279
* Added ``bzr help topics`` to the bzr help system. This gives a
4280
location for general information, outside of a specific command.
4281
This includes updates for ``bzr help revisionspec`` the first topic
4282
included. (Goffredo Baroncelli, John Arbash Meinel, #42714)
4283
4284
* WSGI-compatible HTTP smart server. See ``doc/http_smart_server.txt``.
4285
(Andrew Bennetts)
4286
4287
* Knit files will now cache full texts only when the size of the
4288
deltas is as large as the size of the fulltext. (Or after 200
4289
deltas, whichever comes first). This has the most benefit on large
4290
files with small changes, such as the inventory for a large project.
4291
(eg For a project with 2500 files, and 7500 revisions, it changes
4292
the size of inventory.knit from 11MB to 5.4MB) (John Arbash Meinel)
4293
4294
INTERNALS:
4295
4296
* New -D option given before the command line turns on debugging output
4297
for particular areas. -Derror shows tracebacks on all errors.
4298
(Martin Pool)
4299
4300
* Clean up ``bzr selftest --benchmark bundle`` to correct an import,
4301
and remove benchmarks that take longer than 10min to run.
4302
(John Arbash Meinel)
4303
4304
* Use ``time.time()`` instead of ``time.clock()`` to decide on
4305
progress throttling. Because ``time.clock()`` is actually CPU time,
4306
so over a high-latency connection, too many updates get throttled.
4307
(John Arbash Meinel)
4308
4309
* ``MemoryTransport.list_dir()`` would strip the first character for
4310
files or directories in root directory. (John Arbash Meinel)
4311
4312
* New method ``get_branch_reference`` on 'BzrDir' allows the detection of
4313
branch references - which the smart server component needs.
4314
4315
* New ``ChrootTransportDecorator``, accessible via the ``chroot+`` url
4316
prefix. It disallows any access to locations above a set URL. (Andrew
4317
Bennetts)
4318
4319
BUG FIXES:
4320
4321
* Now ``_KnitIndex`` properly decode revision ids when loading index data.
4322
And optimize the knit index parsing code.
4323
(Dmitry Vasiliev, John Arbash Meinel)
4324
4325
* ``bzrlib/bzrdir.py`` was directly referencing ``bzrlib.workingtree``,
4326
without importing it. This prevented ``bzr upgrade`` from working
4327
unless a plugin already imported ``bzrlib.workingtree``
4328
(John Arbash Meinel, #70716)
4329
4330
* Suppress the traceback on invalid URLs (Vincent Ladeuil, #70803).
4331
4332
* Give nicer error message when an http server returns a 403
4333
error code. (Vincent Ladeuil, #57644).
4334
4335
* When a multi-range http GET request fails, try a single
4336
range one. If it fails too, forget about ranges. Remember that until
4337
the death of the transport and propagates that to the clones.
4338
(Vincent Ladeuil, #62276, #62029).
4339
4340
* Handles user/passwords supplied in url from command
4341
line (for the urllib implementation). Don't request already
4342
known passwords (Vincent Ladeuil, #42383, #44647, #48527)
4343
4344
* ``_KnitIndex.add_versions()`` dictionary compresses revision ids as they
4345
are added. This fixes bug where fetching remote revisions records
4346
them as full references rather than integers.
4347
(John Arbash Meinel, #64789)
4348
4349
* ``bzr ignore`` strips trailing slashes in patterns.
4350
Also ``bzr ignore`` rejects absolute paths. (Kent Gibson, #4559)
4351
4352
* ``bzr ignore`` takes multiple arguments. (Cheuksan Edward Wang, #29488)
4353
4354
* mv correctly handles paths that traverse symlinks.
4355
(Aaron Bentley, #66964)
4356
4357
* Give nicer looking error messages when failing to connect over ssh.
4358
(John Arbash Meinel, #49172)
4359
4360
* Pushing to a remote branch does not currently update the remote working
4361
tree. After a remote push, ``bzr status`` and ``bzr diff`` on the remote
4362
machine now show that the working tree is out of date.
4363
(Cheuksan Edward Wang #48136)
4364
4365
* Use patiencediff instead of difflib for determining deltas to insert
4366
into knits. This avoids the O(N^3) behavior of difflib. Patience
4367
diff should be O(N^2). (Cheuksan Edward Wang, #65714)
4368
4369
* Running ``bzr log`` on nonexistent file gives an error instead of the
4370
entire log history. (Cheuksan Edward Wang #50793)
4371
4372
* ``bzr cat`` can look up contents of removed or renamed files. If the
4373
pathname is ambiguous, i.e. the files in the old and new trees have
4374
different id's, the default is the file in the new tree. The user can
4375
use "--name-from-revision" to select the file in the old tree.
4376
(Cheuksan Edward Wang, #30190)
4377
4378
TESTING:
4379
4380
* TestingHTTPRequestHandler really handles the Range header
4381
(previously it was ignoring it and returning the whole file,).

bzr 0.12 2006-10-30
4384
--------------------
4385
4386
INTERNALS:
4387
4388
* Clean up ``bzr selftest --benchmark bundle`` to correct an import,
4389
and remove benchmarks that take longer than 10min to run.
4390
(John Arbash Meinel)
4391
4392
bzr 0.12rc1 2006-10-23
4393
-----------------------
4394
4395
IMPROVEMENTS:
4396
4397
* ``bzr log`` now shows dotted-decimal revision numbers for all revisions,
4398
rather than just showing a decimal revision number for revisions on the
4399
mainline. These revision numbers are not yet accepted as input into bzr
4400
commands such as log, diff etc. (Robert Collins)
4401
4402
* revisions can now be specified using dotted-decimal revision numbers.
4403
For instance, ``bzr diff -r 1.2.1..1.2.3``. (Robert Collins)
4404
4405
* ``bzr help commands`` output is now shorter (Aaron Bentley)
4406
4407
* ``bzr`` now uses lazy importing to reduce the startup time. This has
4408
a moderate effect on lots of actions, especially ones that have
4409
little to do. For example ``bzr rocks`` time is down to 116ms from
4410
283ms. (John Arbash Meinel)
4411
4412
* New Registry class to provide name-to-object registry-like support,
4413
for example for schemes where plugins can register new classes to
4414
do certain tasks (e.g. log formatters). Also provides lazy registration
4415
to allow modules to be loaded on request.
4416
(John Arbash Meinel, Adeodato Simó)
4417
4418
API INCOMPATABILITY:
4419
4420
* LogFormatter subclasses show now expect the 'revno' parameter to
4421
show() to be a string rather than an int. (Robert Collins)
4422
4423
INTERNALS:
4424
4425
* ``TestCase.run_bzr``, ``run_bzr_captured``, and ``run_bzr_subprocess``
4426
can take a ``working_dir='foo'`` parameter, which will change directory
4427
for the command. (John Arbash Meinel)
4428
4429
* ``bzrlib.lazy_regex.lazy_compile`` can be used to create a proxy
4430
around a regex, which defers compilation until first use.
4431
(John Arbash Meinel)
4432
4433
* ``TestCase.run_bzr_subprocess`` defaults to supplying the
4434
``--no-plugins`` parameter to ensure test reproducability, and avoid
4435
problems with system-wide installed plugins. (John Arbash Meinel)
4436
4437
* Unique tree root ids are now supported. Newly created trees still
4438
use the common root id for compatibility with bzr versions before 0.12.
4439
(Aaron Bentley)
4440
4441
* ``WorkingTree.set_root_id(None)`` is now deprecated. Please
4442
pass in ``inventory.ROOT_ID`` if you want the default root id value.
4443
(Robert Collins, John Arbash Meinel)
4444
4445
* New method ``WorkingTree.flush()`` which will write the current memory
4446
inventory out to disk. At the same time, ``read_working_inventory`` will
4447
no longer trash the current tree inventory if it has been modified within
4448
the current lock, and the tree will now ``flush()`` automatically on
4449
``unlock()``. ``WorkingTree.set_root_id()`` has been updated to take
4450
advantage of this functionality. (Robert Collins, John Arbash Meinel)
4451
4452
* ``bzrlib.tsort.merge_sorted`` now accepts ``generate_revnos``. This
4453
parameter will cause it to add another column to its output, which
4454
contains the dotted-decimal revno for each revision, as a tuple.
4455
(Robert Collins)
4456
4457
* ``LogFormatter.show_merge`` is deprecated in favour of
4458
``LogFormatter.show_merge_revno``. (Robert Collins)
4459
4460
BUG FIXES:
4461
4462
* Avoid circular imports by creating a deprecated function for
4463
``bzrlib.tree.RevisionTree``. Callers should have been using
4464
``bzrlib.revisontree.RevisionTree`` anyway. (John Arbash Meinel,
4465
#63360, #66349)
4466
4467
* Don't use ``socket.MSG_WAITALL`` as it doesn't exist on all
4468
platforms. (Martin Pool, #66356)
4469
4470
* Don't require ``Content-Type`` in range responses. Assume they are a
4471
single range if ``Content-Type`` does not exist.
4472
(John Arbash Meinel, #62473)
4473
4474
* bzr branch/pull no longer complain about progress bar cleanup when
4475
interrupted during fetch. (Aaron Bentley, #54000)
4476
4477
* ``WorkingTree.set_parent_trees()`` uses the trees to directly write
4478
the basis inventory, rather than going through the repository. This
4479
allows us to have 1 inventory read, and 2 inventory writes when
4480
committing a new tree. (John Arbash Meinel)
4481
4482
* When reverting, files that are not locally modified that do not exist
4483
in the target are deleted, not just unversioned (Aaron Bentley)
4484
4485
* When trying to acquire a lock, don't fail immediately. Instead, try
4486
a few times (up to 1 hour) before timing out. Also, report why the
4487
lock is unavailable (John Arbash Meinel, #43521, #49556)
4488
4489
* Leave HttpTransportBase daughter classes decides how they
4490
implement cloning. (Vincent Ladeuil, #61606)
4491
4492
* diff3 does not indicate conflicts on clean merge. (Aaron Bentley)
4493
4494
* If a commit fails, the commit message is stored in a file at the root of
4495
the tree for later commit. (Cheuksan Edward Wang, Stefan Metzmacher,
4496
#32054)
4497
4498
TESTING:
4499
4500
* New test base class TestCaseWithMemoryTransport offers memory-only
4501
testing facilities: its not suitable for tests that need to mutate disk
4502
state, but most tests should not need that and should be converted to
4503
TestCaseWithMemoryTransport. (Robert Collins)
4504
4505
* ``TestCase.make_branch_and_memory_tree`` now takes a format
4506
option to set the BzrDir, Repository and Branch formats of the
4507
created objects. (Robert Collins, John Arbash Meinel)
4508
4509
bzr 0.11 2006-10-02

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

4523
4524
bzr 0.11rc1 2006-09-25
4525
-----------------------
4526
4527
IMPROVEMENTS:
4528
4529
* Knit files now wait to create their contents until the first data is
4530
added. The old code used to create an empty .knit and a .kndx with just
4531
the header. However, this caused a lot of extra round trips over sftp.
4532
This can change the time for ``bzr push`` to create a new remote branch
4533
from 160s down to 100s. This also affects ``bzr commit`` performance when
4534
adding new files, ``bzr commit`` on a new kernel-like tree drops from 50s
4535
down to 40s (John Arbash Meinel, #44692)
4536
4537
* When an entire subtree has been deleted, commit will now report that
4538
just the top of the subtree has been deleted, rather than reporting
4539
all the individual items. (Robert Collins)
4540
4541
* Commit performs one less XML parse. (Robert Collins)
4542
4543
* ``bzr checkout`` now operates on readonly branches as well
4544
as readwrite branches. This fixes bug #39542. (Robert Collins)
4545
4546
* ``bzr bind`` no longer synchronises history with the master branch.
4547
Binding should be followed by an update or push to synchronise the
4548
two branches. This is closely related to the fix for bug #39542.
4549
(Robert Collins)
4550
4551
* ``bzrlib.lazy_import.lazy_import`` function to create on-demand
4552
objects. This allows all imports to stay at the global scope, but
4553
modules will not actually be imported if they are not used.
4554
(John Arbash Meinel)
4555
4556
* Support ``bzr://`` and ``bzr+ssh://`` urls to work with the new RPC-based
4557
transport which will be used with the upcoming high-performance smart
4558
server. The new command ``bzr serve`` will invoke bzr in server mode,
4559
which processes these requests. (Andrew Bennetts, Robert Collins, Martin
4560
Pool)
4561
4562
* New command ``bzr version-info`` which can be used to get a summary
4563
of the current state of the tree. This is especially useful as part
4564
of a build commands. See ``doc/version_info.txt`` for more information
4565
(John Arbash Meinel)
4566
4567
BUG FIXES:
4568
4569
* ``'bzr inventory [FILE...]'`` allows restricting the file list to a
4570
specific set of files. (John Arbash Meinel, #3631)
4571
4572
* Don't abort when annotating empty files (John Arbash Meinel, #56814)
4573
4574
* Add ``Stanza.to_unicode()`` which can be passed to another Stanza
4575
when nesting stanzas. Also, add ``read_stanza_unicode`` to handle when
4576
reading a nested Stanza. (John Arbash Meinel)
4577
4578
* Transform._set_mode() needs to stat the right file.
4579
(John Arbash Meinel, #56549)
4580
4581
* Raise WeaveFormatError rather than StopIteration when trying to read
4582
an empty Weave file. (John Arbash Meinel, #46871)
4583
4584
* Don't access e.code for generic URLErrors, only HTTPErrors have .code.
4585
(Vincent Ladeuil, #59835)
4586
4587
* Handle boundary="" lines properly to allow access through a Squid proxy.
4588
(John Arbash Meinel, #57723)
4589
4590
* revert now removes newly-added directories (Aaron Bentley, #54172)
4591
4592
* ``bzr upgrade sftp://`` shouldn't fail to upgrade v6 branches if there
4593
isn't a working tree. (David Allouche, #40679)
4594
4595
* Give nicer error messages when a user supplies an invalid --revision
4596
parameter. (John Arbash Meinel, #55420)
4597
4598
* Handle when LANG is not recognized by python. Emit a warning, but
4599
just revert to using 'ascii'. (John Arbash Meinel, #35392)
4600
4601
* Don't use ``preexec_fn`` on win32, as it is not supported by subprocess.

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

(Martin Pool)
5026
5027
* Split ``check`` into separate methods on the branch and on the repository,
5028
so that it can be specialized in ways that are useful or efficient for
5029
different formats. (Martin Pool, Robert Collins)
5030
5031
* Deprecate ``Repository.all_revision_ids``; most methods don't really need
5032
the global revision graph but only that part leading up to a particular
5033
revision. (Martin Pool, Robert Collins)
5034
5035
* Add a BzrDirFormat ``control_formats`` list which allows for control formats
5036
that do not use '.bzr' to store their data - i.e. '.svn', '.hg' etc.
5037
(Robert Collins, Jelmer Vernooij).
5038
5039
* ``bzrlib.diff.external_diff`` can be redirected to any file-like object.
5040
Uses subprocess instead of spawnvp.

* New command line option '--profile-imports', which will install a custom
5044
importer to log time to import modules and regex compilation time to
5045
sys.stderr (John Arbash Meinel)
5046
5047
* 'EmptyTree' is now deprecated, please use ``repository.revision_tree(None)``
5048
instead. (Robert Collins)
5049
5050
* "RevisionTree" is now in bzrlib/revisiontree.py. (Robert Collins)

5107
bzr 0.8 2006-05-08
5108
-------------------
5109
5110
NOTES WHEN UPGRADING:
5111
5112
Release 0.8 of bzr introduces a new format for history storage, called
5113
'knit', as an evolution of to the 'weave' format used in 0.7. Local
5114
and remote operations are faster using knits than weaves. Several
5115
operations including 'init', 'init-repo', and 'upgrade' take a
5116
--format option that controls this. Branching from an existing branch
5117
will keep the same format.
5118
5119
It is possible to merge, pull and push between branches of different
5120
formats but this is slower than moving data between homogenous
5121
branches. It is therefore recommended (but not required) that you
5122
upgrade all branches for a project at the same time. Information on
5123
formats is shown by 'bzr info'.
5124
5125
bzr 0.8 now allows creation of 'repositories', which hold the history
5126
of files and revisions for several branches. Previously bzr kept all
5127
the history for a branch within the .bzr directory at the root of the
5128
branch, and this is still the default. To create a repository, use
5129
the new 'bzr init-repo' command. Branches exist as directories under
5130
the repository and contain just a small amount of information
5131
indicating the current revision of the branch.
5132
5133
bzr 0.8 also supports 'checkouts', which are similar to in cvs and
5134
subversion. Checkouts are associated with a branch (optionally in a
5135
repository), which contains all the historical information. The
5136
result is that a checkout can be deleted without losing any
5137
already-committed revisions. A new 'update' command is also available.
5138
5139
Repositories and checkouts are not supported with the 0.7 storage
5140
format. To use them you must upgrad to either knits, or to the
5141
'metaweave' format, which uses weaves but changes the .bzr directory
5142
arrangement.
5143
5144
5145
IMPROVEMENTS:
5146
5147
* Sftp paths can now be relative, or local, according to the lftp
5148
convention. Paths now take the form::
5149
5150
sftp://user:pass@host:port/~/relative/path
5151
or
5152
sftp://user:pass@host:port/absolute/path
5153
5154
* The FTP transport now tries to reconnect after a temporary
5155
failure. ftp put is made atomic. (Matthieu Moy)
5156
5157
* The FTP transport now maintains a pool of connections, and
5158
reuses them to avoid multiple connections to the same host (like
5159
sftp did). (Daniel Silverstone)
5160
5161
* The ``bzr_man.py`` file has been removed. To create the man page now,
5162
use ``./generate_docs.py man``. The new program can also create other files.
5163
Run ``python generate_docs.py --help`` for usage information.
5164
(Hans Ulrich Niedermann & James Blackwell).
5165
5166
* Man Page now gives full help (James Blackwell).
5167
Help also updated to reflect user config now being stored in .bazaar
5168
(Hans Ulrich Niedermann)
5169
5170
* It's now possible to set aliases in bazaar.conf (Erik Bågfors)
5171
5172
* Pull now accepts a --revision argument (Erik Bågfors)
5173
5174
* ``bzr re-sign`` now allows multiple revisions to be supplied on the command
5175
line. You can now use the following command to sign all of your old
5176
commits::
5177
5178
find .bzr/revision-store// -name my@email-* \
5179
| sed 's/.*\/\/..\///' \
5180
| xargs bzr re-sign
5181
5182
* Upgrade can now upgrade over the network. (Robert Collins)
5183
5184
* Two new commands 'bzr checkout' and 'bzr update' allow for CVS/SVN-alike
5185
behaviour. By default they will cache history in the checkout, but
5186
with --lightweight almost all data is kept in the master branch.
5187
(Robert Collins)
5188
5189
* 'revert' unversions newly-versioned files, instead of deleting them.
5190
5191
* 'merge' is more robust. Conflict messages have changed.
5192
5193
* 'merge' and 'revert' no longer clobber existing files that end in '~' or
5194
'.moved'.
5195
5196
* Default log format can be set in configuration and plugins can register
5197
their own formatters. (Erik Bågfors)
5198
5199
* New 'reconcile' command will check branch consistency and repair indexes
5200
that can become out of sync in pre 0.8 formats. (Robert Collins,
5201
Daniel Silverstone)
5202
5203
* New 'bzr init --format' and 'bzr upgrade --format' option to control
5204
what storage format is created or produced. (Robert Collins,
5205
Martin Pool)
5206
5207
* Add parent location to 'bzr info', if there is one. (Olaf Conradi)
5208
5209
* New developer commands 'weave-list' and 'weave-join'. (Martin Pool)
5210
5211
* New 'init-repository' command, plus support for repositories in 'init'
5212
and 'branch' (Aaron Bentley, Erik Bågfors, Robert Collins)
5213
5214
* Improve output of 'info' command. Show all relevant locations related to
5215
working tree, branch and repository. Use kibibytes for binary quantities.
5216
Fix off-by-one error in missing revisions of working tree. Make 'info'
5217
work on branches, repositories and remote locations. Show locations
5218
relative to the shared repository, if applicable. Show locking status
5219
of locations. (Olaf Conradi)
5220
5221
* Diff and merge now safely handle binary files. (Aaron Bentley)
5222
5223
* 'pull' and 'push' now normalise the revision history, so that any two
5224
branches with the same tip revision will have the same output from 'log'.
5225
(Robert Collins)
5226
5227
* 'merge' accepts --remember option to store parent location, like 'push'
5228
and 'pull'. (Olaf Conradi)
5229
5230
* bzr status and diff when files given as arguments do not exist
5231
in the relevant trees. (Martin Pool, #3619)
5232
5233
* Add '.hg' to the default ignore list. (Martin Pool)
5234
5235
* 'knit' is now the default disk format. This improves disk performance and
5236
utilization, increases incremental pull performance, robustness with SFTP
5237
and allows checkouts over SFTP to perform acceptably.
5238
The initial Knit code was contributed by Johan Rydberg based on a
5239
specification by Martin Pool.
5240
(Robert Collins, Aaron Bentley, Johan Rydberg, Martin Pool).
5241
5242
* New tool to generate all-in-one html version of the manual. (Alexander
5243
Belchenko)
5244
5245
* Hitting CTRL-C while doing an SFTP push will no longer cause stale locks
5246
to be left in the SFTP repository. (Robert Collins, Martin Pool).
5247
5248
* New option 'diff --prefix' to control how files are named in diff
5249
output, with shortcuts '-p0' and '-p1' corresponding to the options for
5250
GNU patch. (Alexander Belchenko, Goffredo Baroncelli, Martin Pool)
5251
5252
* Add --revision option to 'annotate' command. (Olaf Conradi)
5253
5254
* If bzr shows an unexpected revision-history after pulling (perhaps due
5255
to a reweave) it can now be corrected by 'bzr reconcile'.
5256
(Robert Collins)
5257
5258
CHANGES:
5259
5260
* Commit is now verbose by default, and shows changed filenames and the
5261
new revision number. (Robert Collins, Martin Pool)
5262
5263
* Unify 'mv', 'move', 'rename'. (Matthew Fuller, #5379)
5264
5265
* 'bzr -h' shows help. (Martin Pool, Ian Bicking, #35940)
5266
5267
* Make 'pull' and 'push' remember location on failure using --remember.
5268
(Olaf Conradi)
5269
5270
* For compatibility, make old format for using weaves inside metadir
5271
available as 'metaweave' format. Rename format 'metadir' to 'default'.
5272
Clean up help for option --format in commands 'init', 'init-repo' and
5273
'upgrade'. (Olaf Conradi)
5274
5275
INTERNALS:
5276
5277
* The internal storage of history, and logical branch identity have now
5278
been split into Branch, and Repository. The common locking and file
5279
management routines are now in bzrlib.lockablefiles.
5280
(Aaron Bentley, Robert Collins, Martin Pool)
5281
5282
* Transports can now raise DependencyNotPresent if they need a library
5283
which is not installed, and then another implementation will be
5284
tried. (Martin Pool)
5285
5286
* Remove obsolete (and no-op) `decode` parameter to `Transport.get`.
5287
(Martin Pool)
5288
5289
* Using Tree Transform for merge, revert, tree-building
5290
5291
* WorkingTree.create, Branch.create, ``WorkingTree.create_standalone``,
5292
Branch.initialize are now deprecated. Please see ``BzrDir.create_*`` for
5293
replacement API's. (Robert Collins)
5294
5295
* New BzrDir class represents the .bzr control directory and manages
5296
formatting issues. (Robert Collins)
5297
5298
* New repository.InterRepository class encapsulates Repository to
5299
Repository actions and allows for clean selection of optimised code
5300
paths. (Robert Collins)
5301
5302
* ``bzrlib.fetch.fetch`` and ``bzrlib.fetch.greedy_fetch`` are now
5303
deprecated, please use ``branch.fetch`` or ``repository.fetch``
5304
depending on your needs. (Robert Collins)
5305
5306
* deprecated methods now have a ``is_deprecated`` flag on them that can
5307
be checked, if you need to determine whether a given callable is
5308
deprecated at runtime. (Robert Collins)
5309
5310
* Progress bars are now nested - see
5311
``bzrlib.ui.ui_factory.nested_progress_bar``.
5312
(Robert Collins, Robey Pointer)
5313
5314
* New API call ``get_format_description()`` for each type of format.
5315
(Olaf Conradi)
5316
5317
* Changed ``branch.set_parent()`` to accept None to remove parent.
5318
(Olaf Conradi)
5319
5320
* Deprecated BzrError AmbiguousBase. (Olaf Conradi)
5321
5322
* WorkingTree.branch is now a read only property. (Robert Collins)
5323
5324
* bzrlib.ui.text.TextUIFactory now accepts a ``bar_type`` parameter which
5325
can be None or a factory that will create a progress bar. This is
5326
useful for testing or for overriding the bzrlib.progress heuristic.
5327
(Robert Collins)
5328
5329
* New API method ``get_physical_lock_status()`` to query locks present on a
5330
transport. (Olaf Conradi)
5331
5332
* Repository.reconcile now takes a thorough keyword parameter to allow
5333
requesting an indepth reconciliation, rather than just a data-loss
5334
check. (Robert Collins)
5335
5336
* ``bzrlib.ui.ui_factory protocol`` now supports ``get_boolean`` to prompt
5337
the user for yes/no style input. (Robert Collins)
5338
5339
TESTING:
5340
5341
* SFTP tests now shortcut the SSH negotiation, reducing test overhead
5342
for testing SFTP protocol support. (Robey Pointer)
5343
5344
* Branch formats are now tested once per implementation (see ``bzrlib.
5345
tests.branch_implementations``. This is analagous to the transport
5346
interface tests, and has been followed up with working tree,
5347
repository and BzrDir tests. (Robert Collins)
5348
5349
* New test base class TestCaseWithTransport provides a transport aware
5350
test environment, useful for testing any transport-interface using
5351
code. The test suite option --transport controls the transport used
5352
by this class (when its not being used as part of implementation
5353
contract testing). (Robert Collins)
5354
5355
* Close logging handler on disabling the test log. This will remove the
5356
handler from the internal list inside python's logging module,
5357
preventing shutdown from closing it twice. (Olaf Conradi)
5358
5359
* Move test case for uncommit to blackbox tests. (Olaf Conradi)
5360
5361
* ``run_bzr`` and ``run_bzr_captured`` now accept a 'stdin="foo"'
5362
parameter which will provide String("foo") to the command as its stdin.
5363

bzr 0.7 2006-01-09
5365
------------------
5366
5367
CHANGES:
5368
5369
* .bzrignore is excluded from exports, on the grounds that it's a bzr
5370
internal-use file and may not be wanted. (Jamie Wilkinson)
5371
5372
* The "bzr directories" command were removed in favor of the new
5373
--kind option to the "bzr inventory" command. To list all
5374
versioned directories, now use "bzr inventory --kind directory".
5375
(Johan Rydberg)
5376
5377
* Under Windows configuration directory is now ``%APPDATA%\bazaar\2.0``
5378
by default. (John Arbash Meinel)
5379
5380
* The parent of Bzr configuration directory can be set by ``BZR_HOME``
5381
environment variable. Now the path for it is searched in ``BZR_HOME``,
5382
then in HOME. Under Windows the order is: ``BZR_HOME``, ``APPDATA``
5383
(usually points to ``C:\Documents and Settings\User Name\Application Data``),
5384
``HOME``. (John Arbash Meinel)
5385
5386
* Plugins with the same name in different directories in the bzr plugin
5387
path are no longer loaded: only the first successfully loaded one is
5388
used. (Robert Collins)
5389
5390
* Use systems' external ssh command to open connections if possible.
5391
This gives better integration with user settings such as ProxyCommand.
5392
(James Henstridge)
5393
5394
* Permissions on files underneath .bzr/ are inherited from the .bzr
5395
directory. So for a shared repository, simply doing 'chmod -R g+w .bzr/'
5396
will mean that future file will be created with group write permissions.
5397
5398
* configure.in and config.guess are no longer in the builtin default
5399
ignore list.
5400
5401
* '.sw[nop]' pattern ignored, to ignore vim swap files for nameless
5402
files. (John Arbash Meinel, Martin Pool)
5403
5404
IMPROVEMENTS:
5405
5406
* "bzr INIT dir" now initializes the specified directory, and creates
5407
it if it does not exist. (John Arbash Meinel)
5408
5409
* New remerge command (Aaron Bentley)
5410
5411
* Better zsh completion script. (Steve Borho)
5412
5413
* 'bzr diff' now returns 1 when there are changes in the working
5414
tree. (Robert Collins)
5415
5416
* 'bzr push' now exists and can push changes to a remote location.
5417
This uses the transport infrastructure, and can store the remote
5418
location in the ~/.bazaar/branches.conf configuration file.
5419
(Robert Collins)
5420
5421
* Test directories are only kept if the test fails and the user requests
5422
that they be kept.
5423
5424
* Tweaks to short log printing
5425
5426
* Added branch nicks, new nick command, printing them in log output.
5427
(Aaron Bentley)
5428
5429
* If ``$BZR_PDB`` is set, pop into the debugger when an uncaught exception
5430
occurs. (Martin Pool)
5431
5432
* Accept 'bzr resolved' (an alias for 'bzr resolve'), as this is
5433
the same as Subversion. (Martin Pool)
5434
5435
* New ftp transport support (on ftplib), for ftp:// and aftp://
5436
URLs. (Daniel Silverstone)
5437
5438
* Commit editor temporary files now start with ``bzr_log.``, to allow
5439
text editors to match the file name and set up appropriate modes or
5440
settings. (Magnus Therning)
5441
5442
* Improved performance when integrating changes from a remote weave.
5443
(Goffredo Baroncelli)
5444
5445
* Sftp will attempt to cache the connection, so it is more likely that
5446
a connection will be reused, rather than requiring multiple password
5447
requests.
5448
5449
* bzr revno now takes an optional argument indicating the branch whose
5450
revno should be printed. (Michael Ellerman)
5451
5452
* bzr cat defaults to printing the last version of the file.
5453
(Matthieu Moy, #3632)
5454
5455
* New global option 'bzr --lsprof COMMAND' runs bzr under the lsprof
5456
profiler. (Denys Duchier)
5457
5458
* Faster commits by reading only the headers of affected weave files.
5459
(Denys Duchier)
5460
5461
* 'bzr add' now takes a --dry-run parameter which shows you what would be
5462
added, but doesn't actually add anything. (Michael Ellerman)
5463
5464
* 'bzr add' now lists how many files were ignored per glob. add --verbose
5465
lists the specific files. (Aaron Bentley)
5466
5467
* 'bzr missing' now supports displaying changes in diverged trees and can
5468
be limited to show what either end of the comparison is missing.
5469
(Aaron Bently, with a little prompting from Daniel Silverstone)
5470
5471
BUG FIXES:
5472
5473
* SFTP can walk up to the root path without index errors. (Robert Collins)
5474
5475
* Fix bugs in running bzr with 'python -O'. (Martin Pool)
5476
5477
* Error when run with -OO
5478
5479
* Fix bug in reporting http errors that don't have an http error code.
5480
(Martin Pool)
5481
5482
* Handle more cases of pipe errors in display commands
5483
5484
* Change status to 3 for all errors
5485
5486
* Files that are added and unlinked before committing are completely
5487
ignored by diff and status
5488
5489
* Stores with some compressed texts and some uncompressed texts are now
5490
able to be used. (John A Meinel)
5491
5492
* Fix for bzr pull failing sometimes under windows
5493
5494
* Fix for sftp transport under windows when using interactive auth
5495
5496
* Show files which are both renamed and modified as such in 'bzr
5497
status' output. (Daniel Silverstone, #4503)
5498
5499
* Make annotate cope better with revisions committed without a valid
5500
email address. (Marien Zwart)
5501
5502
* Fix representation of tab characters in commit messages.

* List of plugin directories in ``BZR_PLUGIN_PATH`` environment variable is
5506
now parsed properly under Windows. (Alexander Belchenko)
5507
5508
* Show number of revisions pushed/pulled/merged. (Robey Pointer)
5509
5510
* Keep a cached copy of the basis inventory to speed up operations
5511
that need to refer to it. (Johan Rydberg, Martin Pool)
5512
5513
* Fix bugs in bzr status display of non-ascii characters.
5514
(Martin Pool)
5515
5516
* Remove Makefile.in from default ignore list.
5517
(Tollef Fog Heen, Martin Pool, #6413)
5518
5519
* Fix failure in 'bzr added'. (Nathan McCallum, Martin Pool)
5520
5521
TESTING:
5522
5523
* Fix selftest asking for passwords when there are no SFTP keys.
5524
(Robey Pointer, Jelmer Vernooij)
5525
5526
* Fix selftest run with 'python -O'. (Martin Pool)
5527
5528
* Fix HTTP tests under Windows. (John Arbash Meinel)
5529
5530
* Make tests work even if HOME is not set (Aaron Bentley)
5531
5532
* Updated ``build_tree`` to use fixed line-endings for tests which read
5533
the file cotents and compare. Make some tests use this to pass under
5534
Windows. (John Arbash Meinel)
5535
5536
* Skip stat and symlink tests under Windows. (Alexander Belchenko)
5537
5538
* Delay in selftest/testhashcash is now issued under win32 and Cygwin.
5539
(John Arbash Meinel)
5540
5541
* Use terminal width to align verbose test output. (Martin Pool)
5542
5543
* Blackbox tests are maintained within the bzrlib.tests.blackbox directory.
5544
If adding a new test script please add that to
5545
``bzrlib.tests.blackbox.__init__``. (Robert Collins)
5546
5547
* Much better error message if one of the test suites can't be
5548
imported. (Martin Pool)
5549
5550
* Make check now runs the test suite twice - once with the default locale,
5551
and once with all locales forced to C, to expose bugs. This is not
5552
trivially done within python, so for now its only triggered by running
5553
Make check. Integrators and packagers who wish to check for full
5554
platform support should run 'make check' to test the source.
5555
(Robert Collins)
5556
5557
* Tests can now run TestSkipped if they can't execute for any reason.
5558
(Martin Pool) (NB: TestSkipped should only be raised for correctable
5559
reasons - see the wiki spec ImprovingBzrTestSuite).
5560
5561
* Test sftp with relative, absolute-in-homedir and absolute-not-in-homedir
5562
paths for the transport tests. Introduce blackbox remote sftp tests that
5563
test the same permutations. (Robert Collins, Robey Pointer)
5564
5565
* Transport implementation tests are now independent of the local file
5566
system, which allows tests for esoteric transports, and for features
5567
not available in the local file system. They also repeat for variations
5568
on the URL scheme that can introduce issues in the transport code,
5569
see bzrlib.transport.TransportTestProviderAdapter() for this.
5570
(Robert Collins).
5571
5572
* ``TestCase.build_tree`` uses the transport interface to build trees,
5573
pass in a transport parameter to give it an existing connection.
5574
(Robert Collins).
5575
5576
INTERNALS:
5577
5578
* WorkingTree.pull has been split across Branch and WorkingTree,
5579
to allow Branch only pulls. (Robert Collins)
5580
5581
* ``commands.display_command`` now returns the result of the decorated
5582
function. (Robert Collins)
5583
5584
* LocationConfig now has a ``set_user_option(key, value)`` call to save
5585
a setting in its matching location section (a new one is created
5586
if needed). (Robert Collins)
5587
5588
* Branch has two new methods, ``get_push_location`` and
5589
``set_push_location`` to respectively, get and set the push location.
5590
(Robert Collins)
5591
5592
* ``commands.register_command`` now takes an optional flag to signal that
5593
the registrant is planning to decorate an existing command. When
5594
given multiple plugins registering a command is not an error, and
5595
the original command class (whether built in or a plugin based one) is
5596
returned to the caller. There is a new error 'MustUseDecorated' for
5597
signalling when a wrapping command should switch to the original
5598
version. (Robert Collins)
5599
5600
* Some option parsing errors will raise 'BzrOptionError', allowing
5601
granular detection for decorating commands. (Robert Collins).
5602
5603
* ``Branch.read_working_inventory`` has moved to
5604
``WorkingTree.read_working_inventory``. This necessitated changes to
5605
``Branch.get_root_id``, and a move of ``Branch.set_inventory`` to
5606
WorkingTree as well. To make it clear that a WorkingTree cannot always
5607
be obtained ``Branch.working_tree()`` will raise
5608
``errors.NoWorkingTree`` if one cannot be obtained. (Robert Collins)
5609
5610
* All pending merges operations from Branch are now on WorkingTree.
5611
(Robert Collins)
5612
5613
* The follow operations from Branch have moved to WorkingTree::
5614
5615
add()
5616
commit()
5617
move()
5618
rename_one()
5619
unknowns()
5620
5621
(Robert Collins)
5622
5623
* ``bzrlib.add.smart_add_branch`` is now ``smart_add_tree``. (Robert Collins)
5624
5625
* New "rio" serialization format, similar to rfc-822. (Martin Pool)
5626
5627
* Rename selftests to ``bzrlib.tests.test_foo``. (John A Meinel, Martin
5628
Pool)
5629
5630
* ``bzrlib.plugin.all_plugins`` has been changed from an attribute to a
5631
query method. (Robert Collins)
5632
5633
* New options to read only the table-of-contents of a weave.
5634
(Denys Duchier)
5635
5636
* Raise NoSuchFile when someone tries to add a non-existant file.
5637
(Michael Ellerman)
5638
5639
* Simplify handling of DivergedBranches in ``cmd_pull()``.
5640
(Michael Ellerman)
5641
5642
* Branch.controlfile* logic has moved to lockablefiles.LockableFiles, which
5643
is exposed as ``Branch().control_files``. Also this has been altered with the
5644
controlfile pre/suffix replaced by simple method names like 'get' and
5645
'put'. (Aaron Bentley, Robert Collins).
5646
5647
* Deprecated functions and methods can now be marked as such using the
5648
``bzrlib.symbol_versioning`` module. Marked method have their docstring
5649
updated and will issue a DeprecationWarning using the warnings module
5650
when they are used. (Robert Collins)
5651
5652
* ``bzrlib.osutils.safe_unicode`` now exists to provide parameter coercion
5653
for functions that need unicode strings. (Robert Collins)

5658
IMPROVEMENTS:
5659
5660
* pull now takes --verbose to show you what revisions are added or removed
5661
(John A Meinel)
5662
5663
* merge now takes a --show-base option to include the base text in
5664
conflicts.
5665
(Aaron Bentley)
5666
5667
* The config files are now read using ConfigObj, so '=' should be used as
5668
a separator, not ':'.
5669
(Aaron Bentley)
5670
5671
* New 'bzr commit --strict' option refuses to commit if there are
5672
any unknown files in the tree. To commit, make sure all files are
5673
either ignored, added, or deleted. (Michael Ellerman)
5674
5675
* The config directory is now ~/.bazaar, and there is a single file
5676
~/.bazaar/bazaar.conf storing email, editor and other preferences.
5677
(Robert Collins)
5678
5679
* 'bzr add' no longer takes a --verbose option, and a --quiet option
5680
has been added that suppresses all output.
5681
5682
* Improved zsh completion support in contrib/zsh, from Clint
5683
Adams.
5684
5685
* Builtin 'bzr annotate' command, by Martin Pool with improvements from
5686
Goffredo Baroncelli.
5687
5688
* 'bzr check' now accepts -v for verbose reporting, and checks for
5689
ghosts in the branch. (Robert Collins)
5690
5691
* New command 're-sign' which will regenerate the gpg signature for
5692
a revision. (Robert Collins)
5693
5694
* If you set ``check_signatures=require`` for a path in
5695
``~/.bazaar/branches.conf`` then bzr will invoke your
5696
``gpg_signing_command`` (defaults to gpg) and record a digital signature
5697
of your commit. (Robert Collins)
5698
5699
* New sftp transport, based on Paramiko. (Robey Pointer)
5700
5701
* 'bzr pull' now accepts '--clobber' which will discard local changes
5702
and make this branch identical to the source branch. (Robert Collins)
5703
5704
* Just give a quieter warning if a plugin can't be loaded, and
5705
put the details in .bzr.log. (Martin Pool)
5706
5707
* 'bzr branch' will now set the branch-name to the last component of the
5708
output directory, if one was supplied.
5709
5710
* If the option ``post_commit`` is set to one (or more) python function
5711
names (must be in the bzrlib namespace), then they will be invoked
5712
after the commit has completed, with the branch and ``revision_id`` as
5713
parameters. (Robert Collins)
5714
5715
* Merge now has a retcode of 1 when conflicts occur. (Robert Collins)
5716
5717
* --merge-type weave is now supported for file contents. Tree-shape
5718
changes are still three-way based. (Martin Pool, Aaron Bentley)
5719
5720
* 'bzr check' allows the first revision on revision-history to have
5721
parents - something that is expected for cheap checkouts, and occurs
5722
when conversions from baz do not have all history. (Robert Collins).
5723
5724
* 'bzr merge' can now graft unrelated trees together, if your specify
5725
0 as a base. (Aaron Bentley)
5726
5727
* 'bzr commit branch' and 'bzr commit branch/file1 branch/file2' now work
5728
(Aaron Bentley)
5729
5730
* Add '.sconsign*' to default ignore list. (Alexander Belchenko)
5731
5732
* 'bzr merge --reprocess' minimizes conflicts
5733
5734
TESTING:
5735
5736
* The 'bzr selftest --pattern' option for has been removed, now
5737
test specifiers on the command line can be simple strings, or
5738
regexps, or both. (Robert Collins)
5739
5740
* Passing -v to selftest will now show the time each test took to
5741
complete, which will aid in analysing performance regressions and
5742
related questions. (Robert Collins)
5743
5744
* 'bzr selftest' runs all tests, even if one fails, unless '--one'
5745
is given. (Martin Pool)
5746
5747
* There is a new method for TestCaseInTempDir, assertFileEqual, which
5748
will check that a given content is equal to the content of the named
5749
file. (Robert Collins)
5750
5751
* Fix test suite's habit of leaving many temporary log files in $TMPDIR.
5752
(Martin Pool)
5753
5754
INTERNALS:
5755
5756
* New 'testament' command and concept for making gpg-signatures
5757
of revisions that are not tied to a particular internal
5758
representation. (Martin Pool).
5759
5760
* Per-revision properties ('revprops') as key-value associated
5761
strings on each revision created when the revision is committed.
5762
Intended mainly for the use of external tools. (Martin Pool).
5763
5764
* Config options have moved from bzrlib.osutils to bzrlib.config.
5765
(Robert Collins)
5766
5767
* Improved command line option definitions allowing explanations
5768
for individual options, among other things. Contributed by
5769
Magnus Therning.
5770
5771
* Config options have moved from bzrlib.osutils to bzrlib.config.
5772
Configuration is now done via the config.Config interface:
5773
Depending on whether you have a Branch, a Location or no information
5774
available, construct a ``*Config``, and use its ``signature_checking``,
5775
``username`` and ``user_email`` methods. (Robert Collins)
5776
5777
* Plugins are now loaded under bzrlib.plugins, not bzrlib.plugin, and
5778
they are made available for other plugins to use. You should not
5779
import other plugins during the ``__init__`` of your plugin though, as
5780
no ordering is guaranteed, and the plugins directory is not on the
5781
python path. (Robert Collins)
5782
5783
* Branch.relpath has been moved to WorkingTree.relpath. WorkingTree no
5784
no longer takes an inventory, rather it takes an option branch
5785
parameter, and if None is given will open the branch at basedir
5786
implicitly. (Robert Collins)
5787
5788
* Cleaner exception structure and error reporting. Suggested by
5789
Scott James Remnant. (Martin Pool)
5790
5791
* Branch.remove has been moved to WorkingTree, which has also gained
5792
``lock_read``, ``lock_write`` and ``unlock`` methods for convenience.
5793
(Robert Collins)
5794
5795
* Two decorators, ``needs_read_lock`` and ``needs_write_lock`` have been
5796
added to the branch module. Use these to cause a function to run in a
5797
read or write lock respectively. (Robert Collins)
5798
5799
* ``Branch.open_containing`` now returns a tuple (Branch, relative-path),
5800
which allows direct access to the common case of 'get me this file
5801
from its branch'. (Robert Collins)
5802
5803
* Transports can register using ``register_lazy_transport``, and they
5804
will be loaded when first used. (Martin Pool)
5805
5806
* 'pull' has been factored out of the command as ``WorkingTree.pull()``.
5807
A new option to WorkingTree.pull has been added, clobber, which will
5808
ignore diverged history and pull anyway.
5809
(Robert Collins)
5810
5811
* config.Config has a ``get_user_option`` call that accepts an option name.
5812
This will be looked up in branches.conf and bazaar.conf as normal.
5813
It is intended that this be used by plugins to support options -
5814
options of built in programs should have specific methods on the config.
5815
(Robert Collins)
5816
5817
* ``merge.merge_inner`` now has tempdir as an optional parameter.
5818
(Robert Collins)
5819
5820
* Tree.kind is not recorded at the top level of the hierarchy, as it was
5821
missing on EmptyTree, leading to a bug with merge on EmptyTrees.
5822
(Robert Collins)
5823
5824
* ``WorkingTree.__del__`` has been removed, it was non deterministic and not
5825
doing what it was intended to. See ``WorkingTree.__init__`` for a comment
5826
about future directions. (Robert Collins/Martin Pool)
5827
5828
* bzrlib.transport.http has been modified so that only 404 urllib errors
5829
are returned as NoSuchFile. Other exceptions will propogate as normal.
5830
This allows debuging of actual errors. (Robert Collins)
5831
5832
* bzrlib.transport.Transport now accepts *ONLY* url escaped relative paths
5833
to apis like 'put', 'get' and 'has'. This is to provide consistent
5834
behaviour - it operates on url's only. (Robert Collins)
5835
5836
* Transports can register using ``register_lazy_transport``, and they
5837
will be loaded when first used. (Martin Pool)
5838
5839
* ``merge_flex`` no longer calls ``conflict_handler.finalize()``, instead that
5840
is called by ``merge_inner``. This is so that the conflict count can be
5841
retrieved (and potentially manipulated) before returning to the caller
5842
of ``merge_inner``. Likewise 'merge' now returns the conflict count to the
5843
caller. (Robert Collins)
5844
5845
* ``revision.revision_graph`` can handle having only partial history for
5846
a revision - that is no revisions in the graph with no parents.
5847
(Robert Collins).
5848
5849
* New ``builtins.branch_files`` uses the standard ``file_list`` rules to
5850
produce a branch and a list of paths, relative to that branch
5851
(Aaron Bentley)
5852
5853
* New TestCase.addCleanup facility.
5854
5855
* New ``bzrlib.version_info`` tuple (similar to ``sys.version_info``),
5856
which can be used by programs importing bzrlib.
5857
5858
BUG FIXES:
5859
5860
* Better handling of branches in directories with non-ascii names.
5861
(Joel Rosdahl, Panagiotis Papadakos)
5862
5863
* Upgrades of trees with no commits will not fail due to accessing
5864
[-1] in the revision-history. (Andres Salomon)
5865
5866
5867
bzr 0.1.1 2005-10-12
5868
--------------------
5869
5870
BUG FIXES:
5871
5872
* Fix problem in pulling over http from machines that do not
5873
allow directories to be listed.
5874
5875
* Avoid harmless warning about invalid hash cache after
5876
upgrading branch format.
5877
5878
PERFORMANCE:
5879
5880
* Avoid some unnecessary http operations in branch and pull.

5882
5883
bzr 0.1 2005-10-11
5884
------------------
5885
5886
NOTES:
5887
5888
* 'bzr branch' over http initially gives a very high estimate
5889
of completion time but it should fall as the first few
5890
revisions are pulled in. branch is still slow on
5891
high-latency connections.
5892
5893
BUG FIXES:
5894
5895
* bzr-man.py has been updated to work again. Contributed by
5896
Rob Weir.
5897
5898
* Locking is now done with fcntl.lockf which works with NFS
5899
file systems. Contributed by Harald Meland.
5900
5901
* When a merge encounters a file that has been deleted on
5902
one side and modified on the other, the old contents are
5903
written out to foo.BASE and foo.SIDE, where SIDE is this
5904
or OTHER. Contributed by Aaron Bentley.
5905
5906
* Export was choosing incorrect file paths for the content of
5907
the tarball, this has been fixed by Aaron Bentley.
5908
5909
* Commit will no longer commit without a log message, an
5910
error is returned instead. Contributed by Jelmer Vernooij.
5911
5912
* If you commit a specific file in a sub directory, any of its
5913
parent directories that are added but not listed will be
5914
automatically included. Suggested by Michael Ellerman.
5915
5916
* bzr commit and upgrade did not correctly record new revisions
5917
for files with only a change to their executable status.
5918
bzr will correct this when it encounters it. Fixed by
5919
Robert Collins
5920
5921
* HTTP tests now force off the use of ``http_proxy`` for the duration.
5922
Contributed by Gustavo Niemeyer.
5923
5924
* Fix problems in merging weave-based branches that have
5925
different partial views of history.
5926
5927
* Symlink support: working with symlinks when not in the root of a
5928
bzr tree was broken, patch from Scott James Remnant.
5929
5930
IMPROVEMENTS:
5931
5932
* 'branch' now accepts a --basis parameter which will take advantage
5933
of local history when making a new branch. This allows faster
5934
branching of remote branches. Contributed by Aaron Bentley.
5935
5936
* New tree format based on weave files, called version 5.
5937
Existing branches can be upgraded to this format using
5938
'bzr upgrade'.
5939
5940
* Symlinks are now versionable. Initial patch by
5941
Erik Toubro Nielsen, updated to head by Robert Collins.
5942
5943
* Executable bits are tracked on files. Patch from Gustavo
5944
Niemeyer.
5945
5946
* 'bzr status' now shows unknown files inside a selected directory.
5947
Patch from Heikki Paajanen.
5948
5949
* Merge conflicts are recorded in .bzr. Two new commands 'conflicts'
5950
and 'resolve' have needed added, which list and remove those
5951
merge conflicts respectively. A conflicted tree cannot be committed
5952
in. Contributed by Aaron Bentley.
5953
5954
* 'rm' is now an alias for 'remove'.
5955
5956
* Stores now split out their content in a single byte prefixed hash,
5957
dropping the density of files per directory by 256. Contributed by
5958
Gustavo Niemeyer.
5959
5960
* 'bzr diff -r branch:URL' will now perform a diff between two branches.
5961
Contributed by Robert Collins.
5962
5963
* 'bzr log' with the default formatter will show merged revisions,
5964
indented to the right. Initial implementation contributed by Gustavo
5965
Niemeyer, made incremental by Robert Collins.
5966
5967
5968
INTERNALS:
5969
5970
* Test case failures have the exception printed after the log
5971
for your viewing pleasure.
5972
5973
* InventoryEntry is now an abstract base class, use one of the
5974
concrete InventoryDirectory etc classes instead.
5975
5976
* Branch raises an UnsupportedFormatError when it detects a
5977
bzr branch it cannot understand. This allows for precise
5978
handling of such circumstances.
5979
5980
* Remove RevisionReference class; ``Revision.parent_ids`` is now simply a
5981
list of their ids and ``parent_sha1s`` is a list of their corresponding
5982
sha1s (for old branches only at the moment.)
5983
5984
* New method-object style interface for Commit() and Fetch().
5985
5986
* Renamed ``Branch.last_patch()`` to ``Branch.last_revision()``, since
5987
we call them revisions not patches.
5988
5989
* Move ``copy_branch`` to ``bzrlib.clone.copy_branch``. The destination
5990
directory is created if it doesn't exist.
5991
5992
* Inventories now identify the files which were present by
5993
giving the revision *of that file*.
5994
5995
* Inventory and Revision XML contains a version identifier.
5996
This must be consistent with the overall branch version
5997
but allows for more flexibility in future upgrades.
5998
5999
TESTING:
6000
6001
* Removed testsweet module so that tests can be run after
6002
bzr installed by 'bzr selftest'.
6003
6004
* 'bzr selftest' command-line arguments can now be partial ids
6005
of tests to run, e.g. ``bzr selftest test_weave``
6006
6007
6008
bzr 0.0.9 2005-09-23
6009
--------------------
6010
6011
BUG FIXES:
6012
6013
* Fixed "branch -r" option.
6014
6015
* Fix remote access to branches containing non-compressed history.
6016
(Robert Collins).
6017
6018
* Better reliability of http server tests. (John Arbash-Meinel)
6019
6020
* Merge graph maximum distance calculation fix. (Aaron Bentley)
6021
6022
* Various minor bug in windows support have been fixed, largely in the
6023
test suite. Contributed by Alexander Belchenko.
6024
6025
IMPROVEMENTS:
6026
6027
* Status now accepts a -r argument to give status between chosen
6028
revisions. Contributed by Heikki Paajanen.
6029
6030
* Revision arguments no longer use +/-/= to control ranges, instead
6031
there is a 'before' namespace, which limits the successive namespace.
6032
For example '$ bzr log -r date:yesterday..before:date:today' will
6033
select everything from yesterday and before today. Contributed by
6034
Robey Pointer
6035
6036
* There is now a bzr.bat file created by distutils when building on
6037
Windows. Contributed by Alexander Belchenko.
6038
6039
INTERNALS:
6040
6041
* Removed uuid() as it was unused.
6042
6043
* Improved 'fetch' code for pulling revisions from one branch into
6044
another (used by pull, merged, etc.)
6045
6046
6047
bzr 0.0.8 2005-09-20
6048
--------------------
6049
6050
IMPROVEMENTS:
6051
6052
* Adding a file whose parent directory is not versioned will
6053
implicitly add the parent, and so on up to the root. This means
6054
you should never need to explictly add a directory, they'll just
6055
get added when you add a file in the directory. Contributed by
6056
Michael Ellerman.
6057
6058
* Ignore ``.DS_Store`` (contains Mac metadata) by default.
6059
(Nir Soffer)
6060
6061
* If you set ``BZR_EDITOR`` in the environment, it is checked in
6062
preference to EDITOR and the config file for the interactive commit
6063
editing program. Related to this is a bugfix where a missing program
6064
set in EDITOR would cause editing to fail, now the fallback program
6065
for the operating system is still tried.
6066
6067
* Files that are not directories/symlinks/regular files will no longer
6068
cause bzr to fail, it will just ignore them by default. You cannot add
6069
them to the tree though - they are not versionable.
6070
6071
6072
INTERNALS:
6073
6074
* Refactor xml packing/unpacking.
6075
6076
BUG FIXES:
6077
6078
* Fixed 'bzr mv' by Ollie Rutherfurd.
6079
6080
* Fixed strange error when trying to access a nonexistent http
6081
branch.
6082
6083
* Make sure that the hashcache gets written out if it can't be
6084
read.
6085
6086
6087
PORTABILITY:
6088
6089
* Various Windows fixes from Ollie Rutherfurd.
6090
6091
* Quieten warnings about locking; patch from Matt Lavin.
6092
6093
6094
bzr-0.0.7 2005-09-02
6095
--------------------
6096
6097
NEW FEATURES:
6098
6099
* ``bzr shell-complete`` command contributed by Clint Adams to
6100
help with intelligent shell completion.
6101
6102
* New expert command ``bzr find-merge-base`` for debugging merges.
6103
6104
6105
ENHANCEMENTS:
6106
6107
* Much better merge support.
6108
6109
* merge3 conflicts are now reported with markers like '<<<<<<<'
6110
(seven characters) which is the same as CVS and pleases things
6111
like emacs smerge.
6112
6113
6114
BUG FIXES:
6115
6116
* ``bzr upgrade`` no longer fails when trying to fix trees that
6117
mention revisions that are not present.
6118
6119
* Fixed bugs in listing plugins from ``bzr plugins``.
6120
6121
* Fix case of $EDITOR containing options for the editor.
6122
6123
* Fix log -r refusing to show the last revision.
6124
(Patch from Goffredo Baroncelli.)
6125
6126
6127
CHANGES:
6128
6129
* ``bzr log --show-ids`` shows the revision ids of all parents.
6130
6131
* Externally provided commands on your $BZRPATH no longer need
6132
to recognize --bzr-usage to work properly, and can just handle
6133
--help themselves.
6134
6135
6136
LIBRARY:
6137
6138
* Changed trace messages to go through the standard logging
6139
framework, so that they can more easily be redirected by
6140
libraries.
6141
6142
6143
6144
bzr-0.0.6 2005-08-18
6145
--------------------
6146
6147
NEW FEATURES:
6148
6149
* Python plugins, automatically loaded from the directories on
6150
``BZR_PLUGIN_PATH`` or ``~/.bzr.conf/plugins`` by default.
6151
6152
* New 'bzr mkdir' command.
6153
6154
* Commit mesage is fetched from an editor if not given on the
6155
command line; patch from Torsten Marek.
6156
6157
* ``bzr log -m FOO`` displays commits whose message matches regexp
6158
FOO.
6159
6160
* ``bzr add`` with no arguments adds everything under the current directory.
6161
6162
* ``bzr mv`` does move or rename depending on its arguments, like
6163
the Unix command.
6164
6165
* ``bzr missing`` command shows a summary of the differences
6166
between two trees. (Merged from John Arbash-Meinel.)
6167
6168
* An email address for commits to a particular tree can be
6169
specified by putting it into .bzr/email within a branch. (Based
6170
on a patch from Heikki Paajanen.)
6171
6172
6173
ENHANCEMENTS:
6174
6175
* Faster working tree operations.
6176
6177
6178
CHANGES:
6179
6180
* 3rd-party modules shipped with bzr are copied within the bzrlib
6181
python package, so that they can be installed by the setup
6182
script without clashing with anything already existing on the
6183
system. (Contributed by Gustavo Niemeyer.)
6184
6185
* Moved plugins directory to bzrlib/, so that there's a standard
6186
plugin directory which is not only installed with bzr itself but
6187
is also available when using bzr from the development tree.
6188
``BZR_PLUGIN_PATH`` and ``DEFAULT_PLUGIN_PATH`` are then added to the
6189
standard plugins directory.
6190
6191
* When exporting to a tarball with ``bzr export --format tgz``, put
6192
everything under a top directory rather than dumping it into the
6193
current directory. This can be overridden with the ``--root``
6194
option. Patch from William Dodé and John Meinel.
6195
6196
* New ``bzr upgrade`` command to upgrade the format of a branch,
6197
replacing ``bzr check --update``.
6198
6199
* Files within store directories are no longer marked readonly on
6200
disk.
6201
6202
* Changed ``bzr log`` output to a more compact form suggested by
6203
John A Meinel. Old format is available with the ``--long`` or
6204
``-l`` option, patched by William Dodé.
6205
6206
* By default the commit command refuses to record a revision with
6207
no changes unless the ``--unchanged`` option is given.
6208
6209
* The ``--no-plugins``, ``--profile`` and ``--builtin`` command
6210
line options must come before the command name because they
6211
affect what commands are available; all other options must come
6212
after the command name because their interpretation depends on
6213
it.
6214
6215
* ``branch`` and ``clone`` added as aliases for ``branch``.
6216
6217
* Default log format is back to the long format; the compact one
6218
is available with ``--short``.
6219
6220
6221
BUG FIXES:
6222
6223
* Fix bugs in committing only selected files or within a subdirectory.
6224
6225
6226
bzr-0.0.5 2005-06-15
6227
---------------------
6228
6229
CHANGES:
6230
6231
* ``bzr`` with no command now shows help rather than giving an
6232
error. Suggested by Michael Ellerman.
6233
6234
* ``bzr status`` output format changed, because svn-style output
6235
doesn't really match the model of bzr. Now files are grouped by
6236
status and can be shown with their IDs. ``bzr status --all``
6237
shows all versioned files and unknown files but not ignored files.
6238
6239
* ``bzr log`` runs from most-recent to least-recent, the reverse
6240
of the previous order. The previous behaviour can be obtained
6241
with the ``--forward`` option.
6242
6243
* ``bzr inventory`` by default shows only filenames, and also ids
6244
if ``--show-ids`` is given, in which case the id is the second
6245
field.
6246
6247
6248
ENHANCEMENTS:
6249
6250
* New 'bzr whoami --email' option shows only the email component
6251
of the user identification, from Jo Vermeulen.
6252
6253
* New ``bzr ignore PATTERN`` command.
6254
6255
* Nicer error message for broken pipe, interrupt and similar
6256
conditions that don't indicate an internal error.
6257
6258
* Add ``.*.sw[nop] .git .*.tmp *,v`` to default ignore patterns.
6259
6260
* Per-branch locks keyed on ``.bzr/branch-lock``, available in
6261
either read or write mode.
6262
6263
* New option ``bzr log --show-ids`` shows revision and file ids.
6264
6265
* New usage ``bzr log FILENAME`` shows only revisions that
6266
affected that file.
6267
6268
* Changed format for describing changes in ``bzr log -v``.
6269
6270
* New option ``bzr commit --file`` to take a message from a file,
6271
suggested by LarstiQ.
6272
6273
* New syntax ``bzr status [FILE...]`` contributed by Bartosz
6274
Oler. File may be in a branch other than the working directory.
6275
6276
* ``bzr log`` and ``bzr root`` can be given an http URL instead of
6277
a filename.
6278
6279
* Commands can now be defined by external programs or scripts
6280
in a directory on $BZRPATH.
6281
6282
* New "stat cache" avoids reading the contents of files if they
6283
haven't changed since the previous time.
6284
6285
* If the Python interpreter is too old, try to find a better one
6286
or give an error. Based on a patch from Fredrik Lundh.
6287
6288
* New optional parameter ``bzr info [BRANCH]``.
6289
6290
* New form ``bzr commit SELECTED`` to commit only selected files.
6291
6292
* New form ``bzr log -r FROM:TO`` shows changes in selected
6293
range; contributed by John A Meinel.
6294
6295
* New option ``bzr diff --diff-options 'OPTS'`` allows passing
6296
options through to an external GNU diff.
6297
6298
* New option ``bzr add --no-recurse`` to add a directory but not
6299
their contents.
6300
6301
* ``bzr --version`` now shows more information if bzr is being run
6302
from a branch.
6303
6304
6305
BUG FIXES:
6306
6307
* Fixed diff format so that added and removed files will be
6308
handled properly by patch. Fix from Lalo Martins.
6309
6310
* Various fixes for files whose names contain spaces or other
6311
metacharacters.
6312
6313
6314
TESTING:
6315
6316
* Converted black-box test suites from Bourne shell into Python;
6317
now run using ``./testbzr``. Various structural improvements to
6318
the tests.
6319
6320
* testbzr by default runs the version of bzr found in the same
6321
directory as the tests, or the one given as the first parameter.
6322
6323
* testbzr also runs the internal tests, so the only command
6324
required to check is just ``./testbzr``.
6325
6326
* testbzr requires python2.4, but can be used to test bzr running
6327
under a different version.
6328
6329
* Tests added for many other changes in this release.
6330
6331
6332
INTERNAL:
6333
6334
* Included ElementTree library upgraded to 1.2.6 by Fredrik Lundh.
6335
6336
* Refactor command functions into Command objects based on HCT by
6337
Scott James Remnant.
6338
6339
* Better help messages for many commands.
6340
6341
* Expose ``bzrlib.open_tracefile()`` to start the tracefile; until
6342
this is called trace messages are just discarded.
6343
6344
* New internal function ``find_touching_revisions()`` and hidden
6345
command touching-revisions trace the changes to a given file.
6346
6347
* Simpler and faster ``compare_inventories()`` function.
6348
6349
* ``bzrlib.open_tracefile()`` takes a tracefilename parameter.
6350
6351
* New AtomicFile class.
6352
6353
* New developer commands ``added``, ``modified``.
6354
6355
6356
PORTABILITY:
6357
6358
* Cope on Windows on python2.3 by using the weaker random seed.
6359
2.4 is now only recommended.
6360
6361
6362
bzr-0.0.4 2005-04-22
6363
---------------------
6364
6365
ENHANCEMENTS:
6366
6367
* 'bzr diff' optionally takes a list of files to diff. Still a bit
6368
basic. Patch from QuantumG.
6369
6370
* More default ignore patterns.
6371
6372
* New 'bzr log --verbose' shows a list of files changed in the
6373
changeset. Patch from Sebastian Cote.
6374
6375
* Roll over ~/.bzr.log if it gets too large.
6376
6377
* Command abbreviations 'ci', 'st', 'stat', '?' based on a patch
6378
by Jason Diamon.
6379
6380
* New 'bzr help commands' based on a patch from Denys Duchier.
6381
6382
6383
CHANGES:
6384
6385
* User email is determined by looking at $BZREMAIL or ~/.bzr.email
6386
or $EMAIL. All are decoded by the locale preferred encoding.
6387
If none of these are present user@hostname is used. The host's
6388
fully-qualified name is not used because that tends to fail when
6389
there are DNS problems.
6390
6391
* New 'bzr whoami' command instead of username user-email.
6392
6393
6394
BUG FIXES:
6395
6396
* Make commit safe for hardlinked bzr trees.
6397
6398
* Some Unicode/locale fixes.
6399
6400
* Partial workaround for ``difflib.unified_diff`` not handling
6401
trailing newlines properly.
6402
6403
6404
INTERNAL:
6405
6406
* Allow docstrings for help to be in PEP0257 format. Patch from
6407
Matt Brubeck.
6408
6409
* More tests in test.sh.
6410
6411
* Write profile data to a temporary file not into working
6412
directory and delete it when done.
6413
6414
* Smaller .bzr.log with process ids.
6415
6416
6417
PORTABILITY:
6418
6419
* Fix opening of ~/.bzr.log on Windows. Patch from Andrew
6420
Bennetts.
6421
6422
* Some improvements in handling paths on Windows, based on a patch
6423
from QuantumG.
6424
6425
6426
bzr-0.0.3 2005-04-06
6427
---------------------
6428
6429
ENHANCEMENTS:
6430
6431
* New "directories" internal command lists versioned directories
6432
in the tree.
6433
6434
* Can now say "bzr commit --help".
6435
6436
* New "rename" command to rename one file to a different name
6437
and/or directory.
6438
6439
* New "move" command to move one or more files into a different
6440
directory.
6441
6442
* New "renames" command lists files renamed since base revision.
6443
6444
* New cat command contributed by janmar.
6445
6446
CHANGES:
6447
6448
* .bzr.log is placed in $HOME (not pwd) and is always written in
6449
UTF-8. (Probably not a completely good long-term solution, but
6450
will do for now.)
6451
6452
PORTABILITY:
6453
6454
* Workaround for difflib bug in Python 2.3 that causes an
6455
exception when comparing empty files. Reported by Erik Toubro
6456
Nielsen.
6457
6458
INTERNAL:
6459
6460
* Refactored inventory storage to insert a root entry at the top.
6461
6462
TESTING:
6463
6464
* Start of shell-based black-box testing in test.sh.
6465

6475
bzr-0.0.2 "black cube" 2005-03-31
6476
-----------------------------------
6477
6478
ENHANCEMENTS:
6479
6480
* Default ignore list extended (see bzrlib/__init__.py).
6481
6482
* Patterns in .bzrignore are now added to the default ignore list,
6483
rather than replacing it.
6484
6485
* Ignore list isn't reread for every file.
6486
6487
* More help topics.
6488
6489
* Reinstate the 'bzr check' command to check invariants of the
6490
branch.
6491
6492
* New 'ignored' command lists which files are ignored and why;
6493
'deleted' lists files deleted in the current working tree.
6494
6495
* Performance improvements.
6496
6497
* New global --profile option.
6498
6499
* Ignore patterns like './config.h' now correctly match files in
6500
the root directory only.
6501
6502
6503
bzr-0.0.1 2005-03-26
6504
---------------------
6505
6506
ENHANCEMENTS:
6507
6508
* More information from info command.
6509
6510
* Can now say "bzr help COMMAND" for more detailed help.
6511
6512
* Less file flushing and faster performance when writing logs and
6513
committing to stores.
6514
6515
* More useful verbose output from some commands.
6516
6517
BUG FIXES:
6518
6519
* Fix inverted display of 'R' and 'M' during 'commit -v'.
6520
6521
PORTABILITY:
6522
6523
* Include a subset of ElementTree-1.2.20040618 to make
6524
installation easier.
6525
6526
* Fix time.localtime call to work with Python 2.3 (the minimum
6527
supported).
6528

6530
bzr-0.0.0.69 2005-03-22
6531
------------------------
6532
6533
ENHANCEMENTS:
6534
6535
* First public release.
6536
6537
* Storage of local versions: init, add, remove, rm, info, log,
6538
diff, status, etc.
