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
* Deleting directories by hand before running ``bzr rm`` will not
52
cause subsequent errors in ``bzr st`` and ``bzr commit``.
53
(Robert Collins, #150438)
54
55
DOCUMENTATION:
56
57
58
TESTING:
59
60
61
API CHANGES:
62
63
* The generic fetch code now uses three attributes on Repository objects
64
to control fetch. The streams requested are controlled via :
65
``_fetch_order`` and ``_fetch_uses_deltas``. Setting these
66
appropriately allows different repository implementations to recieve
67
data in their optimial form. If the ``_fetch_reconcile`` is set then
68
a reconcile operation is triggered at the end of the fetch.
69
(Robert Collins)
70
71
INTERNALS:
72
73
* RuleSearchers return () instead of [] now when there are no matches.
74
(Ian Clatworthy)
75
76
77
bzr 1.6beta3 2008-07-17
78
-----------------------
79
80
FEATURES:
81
82
* New ``pre_change_branch_tip`` hook that is called before the
83
branch tip is moved, while the branch is write-locked. See the User
84
Reference for signature details. (Andrew Bennetts)
85
86
* Rule-based preferences can now be defined for selected files in
87
selected branches, allowing commands and plugins to provide
88
custom behaviour for files matching defined patterns.
89
See ``Rule-based preferences`` (part of ``Configuring Bazaar``)
90
in the User Guide and ``bzr help rules`` for more information.
91
(Ian Clatworthy)
92
93
* Sites may suggest a branch to stack new branches on. (Aaron Bentley)
94
95
* Stacked branches are now supported. See ``bzr help branch`` and
96
``bzr help push``. (Robert Collins)
97
98
IMPROVEMENTS:
99
100
* ``bzr export --format=tgz --root=NAME -`` to export a gzipped tarball
101
to stdout; also ``tar`` and ``tbz2``.
102
(Martin Pool)
103
104
* ``bzr (re)merge --weave`` will now use a standard Weave algorithm,
105
rather than the annotation-based merge it was using. It does so by
106
building up a Weave of the important texts, without needing to build
107
the full ancestry. (John Arbash Meinel, #238895)
108
109
* ``bzr send`` documents and better supports ``emacsclient`` (proper
110
escaping of mail headers and handling of the MUA Mew).
111
(Christophe Troestler)
112
113
* Remembered locations can be specified by aliases, e.g. :parent, :public,
114
:submit. (Aaron Bentley)
115
116
* The smart protocol now has improved support for setting branches'
117
revision info directly. This makes operations like push
118
faster. The new request method name is
119
``Branch.set_last_revision_ex``. (Andrew Bennetts)
120
121
* New registry for log properties handles and the method in
122
LongLogFormatter to display the custom properties returned by the
123
registered handlers. (Guillermo Gonzalez, #162469)
124
125
BUG FIXES:
126
127
* Bazaar is now able to be a client to the web server of IIS 6 and 7.
128
The broken implementations of RFC822 in Python and RFC2046 in IIS
129
combined with boundary-line checking in Bazaar previously made this
130
impossible. (NB, IIS 5 does not suffer from this problem).
131
(Adrian Wilkins, #247585)
132
133
* ``bzr log --long`` with a ghost in your mainline now handles that
134
ghost properly. (John Arbash Meinel, #243536)
135
136
* ``check`` handles the split-up .bzr layout correctly, so no longer
137
requires a branch to be present.
138
(Daniel Watkins, #64783)
139
140
* ``bzr serve --directory=/`` now correctly allows the whole
141
filesystem to be accessed on Windows, not just the root of the drive
142
that Python is running from.
143
(Adrian Wilkins, #240910)
144
145
* Clearer message about how to set the PYTHONPATH if bzrlib can't be
146
loaded.
147
(Martin Pool, #205230)
148
149
* Errors about missing libraries are now shown without a traceback,
150
and with a suggestion to install the library. The full traceback is
151
still in ``.bzr.log`` and can be shown with ``-Derror``.
152
(Martin Pool, #240161)
153
154
* Fixed problem in branching from smart server.
155
(#249256, Michael Hudson, Martin Pool)
156
157
* Fetch from a stacked branch copies all required data.
158
(Aaron Bentley, #248506)
159
160
* Handle urls such as ftp://user@host.com@www.host.com where the user
161
name contains an @.
162
(Neil Martinsen-Burrell, #228058)
163
164
* ``needs_read_lock`` and ``needs_write_lock`` now suppress an error during
165
``unlock`` if there was an error in the original function. This helps
166
most when there is a failure with a smart server action, since often the
167
connection closes and we cannot unlock.
168
(Andrew Bennetts, John Arbash Meinel, #125784)
169
170
* Obsolete hidden command ``bzr fetch`` removed.
171
(Martin Pool, #172870)
172
173
* Raise the correct exception when doing ``-rbefore:0`` or ``-c0``.
174
(John Arbash Meinel, #239933)
175
176
* You can now compare file revisions in Windows diff programs from
177
Cygwin Bazaar.
178
(Matt McClure, #209281)
179
180
* revision_history now tolerates mainline ghosts for Branch format 6.
181
(Aaron Bentley, #235055)
182
183
* Set locale from environment for third party libs.
184
(Martin von Gagern, #128496)
185
186
* Handle a file turning in to a directory in TreeTransform.
187
(James Westby, #248448)
188
189
DOCUMENTATION:
190
191
* Added *Using stacked branches* to the User Guide.
192
(Ian Clatworthy)
193
194
* Updated developer documentation.
195
(Martin Pool)
196
197
TESTING:
198
199
* ``-Dmemory`` will cause /proc/PID/status to be catted before bzr
200
exits, allowing low-key analysis of peak memory use. (Robert Collins)
201
202
* ``TestCaseWithTransport.make_branch_and_tree`` tries harder to return
203
a tree with a ``branch`` attribute of the right format. This was
204
preventing some ``RemoteBranch`` tests from actually running with
205
``RemoteBranch`` instances. (Andrew Bennetts)
206
207
API CHANGES:
208
209
* Removed ``Repository.text_store``, ``control_store``, etc. Instead,
210
there are new attributes ``texts, inventories, revisions,
211
signatures``, each of which is a ``VersionedFiles``. See the
212
Repository docstring for more details.
213
(Robert Collins)
214
215
* ``Branch.pull`` now accepts an ``_override_hook_target`` optional
216
parameter. If you have a subclass of ``Branch`` that overrides
217
``pull`` then you should add this parameter. (Andrew Bennetts)
218
219
* ``bzrlib.check.check()`` has been deprecated in favour of the more
220
aptly-named ``bzrlib.check.check_branch()``.
221
(Daniel Watkins)
222
223
* ``Tree.print_file`` and ``Repository.print_file`` are deprecated.
224
These methods are bad APIs because they write directly to sys.stdout.
225
bzrlib does not use them internally, and there are no direct tests
226
for them. (Alexander Belchenko)
227
228
INTERNALS:
229
230
* ``cat`` command no longer uses ``Tree.print_file()`` internally.
231
(Alexander Belchenko)
232
233
* New class method ``BzrDir.open_containing_tree_branch_or_repository``
234
which eases the discovery of the tree, the branch and the repository
235
containing a given location.
236
(Daniel Watkins)
237
238
* New ``versionedfile.KeyMapper`` interface to abstract out the access to
239
underlying .knit/.kndx etc files in repositories with partitioned
240
storage. (Robert Collins)
241
242
* Obsolete developer-use command ``weave-join`` has been removed.
243
(Robert Collins)
244
245
* ``RemoteToOtherFetcher`` and ``get_data_stream_for_search`` removed,
246
to support new ``VersionedFiles`` layering.
247
(Robert Collins)
248
249
250
bzr 1.6beta2 2008-06-10
251
-----------------------
252
253
This release contains further progress towards our 1.6 goals of shallow
254
repositories, and contains a fix for some user-affecting bugs in the
255
repository layer. Building working trees during checkout and branch is
256
now faster.
257
258
BUG FIXES:
259
260
* Avoid KnitCorrupt error extracting inventories from some repositories.
261
(The data is not corrupt; an internal check is detecting a problem
262
reading from the repository.)
263
(Martin Pool, Andrew Bennetts, Robert Collins, #234748)
264
265
* ``bzr status`` was breaking if you merged the same revision twice.
266
(John Arbash Meinel, #235407)
267
268
* Fix infinite loop consuming 100% CPU when a connection is lost while
269
reading a response body via the smart protocol v1 or v2.
270
(Andrew Bennetts)
271
272
* Inserting a bundle which changes the contents of a file with no trailing
273
end of line, causing a knit snapshot in a 'knits' repository will no longer
274
cause KnitCorrupt. (Robert Collins)
275
276
* ``RemoteBranch.pull`` needs to return the ``self._real_branch``'s
277
pull result. It was instead just returning None, which breaks ``bzr
278
pull``. (John Arbash Meinel, #238149)
279
280
* Sanitize branch nick before using it as an attachment filename in
281
``bzr send``. (Lukáš Lalinský, #210218)
282
283
* Squash ``inv_entry.symlink_target`` to a plain string when
284
generating DirState details. This prevents from getting a
285
``UnicodeError`` when you have symlinks and non-ascii filenames.
286
(John Arbash Meinel, #135320)
287
288
IMPROVEMENTS:
289
290
* Added the 'alias' command to set/unset and display aliases. (Tim Penhey)
291
292
* ``added``, ``modified``, and ``unknowns`` behaviour made consistent (all three
293
now quote paths where required). Added ``--null`` option to ``added`` and
294
``modified`` (for null-separated unknowns, use ``ls --unknown --null``)
295
(Adrian Wilkins)
296
297
* Faster branching (1.09x) and lightweight checkouts (1.06x) on large trees.
298
(Ian Clatworthy, Aaron Bentley)
299
300
DOCUMENTATION:
301
302
* Added *Bazaar Zen* section to the User Guide. (Ian Clatworthy)
303
304
TESTING:
305
306
* Fix the test HTTPServer to be isolated from chdir calls made while it is
307
running, allowing it to be used in blackbox tests. (Robert Collins)
308
309
API CHANGES:
310
311
* ``WorkingTree.set_parent_(ids/trees)`` will now filter out revisions
312
which are in the ancestry of other revisions. So if you merge the same
313
tree twice, or merge an ancestor of an existing merge, it will only
314
record the newest. (If you merge a descendent, it will replace its
315
ancestor). (John Arbash Meinel, #235407)
316
317
* ``RepositoryPolicy.__init__`` now requires stack_on and stack_on_pwd,
318
through the derived classes do not. (Aaron Bentley)
319
320
INTERNALS:
321
322
* ``bzrlib.bzrdir.BzrDir.sprout`` now accepts ``stacked`` to control
323
creating stacked branches. (Robert Collins)
324
325
* Knit record serialisation is now stricter on what it will accept, to
326
guard against potential internal bugs, or broken input. (Robert Collins)
327
328
329
bzr 1.6beta1 2008-06-02
330
-----------------------
331
332
333
Commands that work on the revision history such as push, pull, missing,
334
uncommit and log are now substantially faster. This release adds a
335
translation of some of the user documentation into Spanish. (Contributions of
336
other translations would be very welcome.) Bazaar 1.6beta1 adds a new network
337
protocol which is used by default and which allows for more efficient transfers
338
and future extensions.
339
340
341
NOTES WHEN UPGRADING:
342
343
* There is a new version of the network protocol used for bzr://, bzr+ssh://
344
and bzr+http:// connections. This will allow more efficient requests and
345
responses, and more graceful fallback when a server is too old to
346
recognise a request from a more recent client. Bazaar 1.6 will
347
interoperate with 0.16 and later versions, but servers should be upgraded
348
when possible. Bazaar 1.6 no longer interoperates with 0.15 and earlier via
349
these protocols. Use alternatives like SFTP or upgrade those servers.
350
(Andrew Bennetts, #83935)
351
352
CHANGES:
353
354
* Deprecation warnings will not be suppressed when running ``bzr selftest``
355
so that developers can see if their code is using deprecated functions.
356
(John Arbash Meinel)
357
358
FEATURES:
359
360
* Adding ``-Derror`` will now display a traceback when a plugin fails to
361
load. (James Westby)
362
363
IMPROVEMENTS:
364
365
* ``bzr branch/push/pull -r XXX`` now have a helper function for finding
366
the revno of the new revision (``Graph.find_distance_to_null``). This
367
should make something like ``bzr branch -r -100`` in a shared, no-trees
368
repository much snappier. (John Arbash Meinel)
369
370
* ``bzr log --short -r X..Y`` no longer needs to access the full revision
371
history. This makes it noticeably faster when logging the last few
372
revisions. (John Arbash Meinel)
373
374
* ``bzr ls`` now accepts ``-V`` as an alias for ``--versioned``.
375
(Jerad Cramp, #165086)
376
377
* ``bzr missing`` uses the new ``Graph.find_unique_ancestors`` and
378
``Graph.find_differences`` to determine missing revisions without having
379
to search the whole ancestry. (John Arbash Meinel, #174625)
380
381
* ``bzr uncommit`` now uses partial history access, rather than always
382
extracting the full revision history for a branch. This makes it
383
resolve the appropriate revisions much faster (in testing it drops
384
uncommit from 1.5s => 0.4s). It also means ``bzr log --short`` is one
385
step closer to not using full revision history.
386
(John Arbash Meinel, #172649)
387
388
BUGFIXES:
389
390
* ``bzr merge --lca`` should handle when two revisions have no common
391
ancestor other than NULL_REVISION. (John Arbash Meinel, #235715)
392
393
* ``bzr status`` was breaking if you merged the same revision twice.
394
(John Arbash Meinel, #235407)
395
396
* ``bzr push`` with both ``--overwrite`` and ``-r NNN`` options no longer
397
fails. (Andrew Bennetts, #234229)
398
399
* Correctly track the base URL of a smart medium when using bzr+http://
400
URLs, which was causing spurious "No repository present" errors with
401
branches in shared repositories accessed over bzr+http.
402
(Andrew Bennetts, #230550)
403
404
* Define ``_remote_is_at_least_1_2`` on ``SmartClientMedium`` so that all
405
implementations have the attribute. Fixes 'PyCurlTransport' object has no
406
attribute '_remote_is_at_least_1_2' attribute errors.
407
(Andrew Bennetts, #220806)
408
409
* Failure to delete an obsolete pack file should just give a warning
410
message, not a fatal error. It may for example fail if the file is still
411
in use by another process.
412
(Martin Pool)
413
414
* Fix MemoryError during large fetches over HTTP by limiting the amount of
415
data we try to read per ``recv`` call. The problem was observed with
416
Windows and a proxy, but might affect other environments as well.
417
(Eric Holmberg, #215426)
418
419
* Handle old merge directives correctly in Merger.from_mergeable. Stricter
420
get_parent_map requirements exposed a latent bug here. (Aaron Bentley)
421
422
* Issue a warning and ignore passwords declared in authentication.conf when
423
used for an ssh scheme (sftp or bzr+ssh).
424
(Vincent Ladeuil, #203186)
425
426
* Make both http implementations raise appropriate exceptions on 403
427
Forbidden when POSTing smart requests.
428
(Vincent Ladeuil, #230223)
429
430
* Properly *title* header names in http requests instead of capitalizing
431
them.
432
(Vincent Ladeuil, #229076)
433
434
* The "Unable to obtain lock" error message now also suggests using
435
``bzr break-lock`` to fix it. (Martin Albisetti, #139202)
436
437
* Treat an encoding of '' as ascii; this can happen when bzr is run
438
under vim on Mac OS X.
439
(Neil Martinsen-Burrell)
440
441
* ``VersionedFile.make_mpdiffs()`` was raising an exception that wasn't in
442
scope. (Daniel Fischer #235687)
443
444
DOCUMENTATION:
445
446
* Added directory structure and started translation of docs in spanish.
447
(Martin Albisetti, Lucio Albenga)
448
449
* Incorporate feedback from Jelmer Vernooij and Neil Martinsen-Burrell
450
on the plugin and integration chapters of the User Guide.
451
(Ian Clatworthy)
452
453
* More Bazaar developer documentation about packaging and release process,
454
and about use of Python reprs.
455
(Martin Pool, Martin Albisetti)
456
457
* Updated Tortise strategy document. (Mark Hammond)
458
459
TESTING:
460
461
* ``bzrlib.tests.adapt_tests`` was broken and unused - it has been fixed.
462
(Robert Collins)
463
464
* Fix the test HTTPServer to be isolated from chdir calls made while it is
465
running, allowing it to be used in blackbox tests. (Robert Collins)
466
467
* New helper function for splitting test suites
468
``split_suite_by_condition``. (Robert Collins)
469
470
INTERNALS:
471
472
* ``Branch.missing_revisions`` has been deprecated. Similar functionality
473
can be obtained using ``bzrlib.missing.find_unmerged``. The api was
474
fairly broken, and the function was unused, so we are getting rid of it.
475
(John Arbash Meinel)
476
477
API CHANGES:
478
479
* ``Branch.abspath`` is deprecated; use the Tree or Transport
480
instead. (Martin Pool)
481
482
* ``Branch.update_revisions`` now takes an optional ``Graph``
483
object. This can be used by ``update_revisions`` when it is
484
checking ancestry, and allows callers to prefer request to go to a
485
local branch. (John Arbash Meinel)
486
487
* Branch, Repository, Tree and BzrDir should expose a Transport as an
488
attribute if they have one, rather than having it indirectly accessible
489
as ``.control_files._transport``. This doesn't add a requirement
490
to support a Transport in cases where it was not needed before;
491
it just simplifies the way it is reached. (Martin Pool)
492
493
* ``bzr missing --mine-only`` will return status code 0 if you have no
494
new revisions, but the remote does. Similarly for ``--theirs-only``.
495
The new code only checks one side, so it doesn't know if the other
496
side has changes. This seems more accurate with the request anyway.
497
It also changes the output to print '[This|Other] branch is up to
498
date.' rather than displaying nothing. (John Arbash Meinel)
499
500
* ``LockableFiles.put_utf8``, ``put_bytes`` and ``controlfilename``
501
are now deprecated in favor of using Transport operations.
502
(Martin Pool)
503
504
* Many methods on ``VersionedFile``, ``Repository`` and in
505
``bzrlib.revision`` deprecated before bzrlib 1.5 have been removed.
506
(Robert Collins)
507
508
* ``RevisionSpec.wants_revision_history`` can be set to False for a given
509
``RevisionSpec``. This will disable the existing behavior of passing in
510
the full revision history to ``self._match_on``. Useful for specs that
511
don't actually need access to the full history. (John Arbash Meinel)
512
513
* The constructors of ``SmartClientMedium`` and its subclasses now require a
514
``base`` parameter. ``SmartClientMedium`` implementations now also need
515
to provide a ``remote_path_from_transport`` method. (Andrew Bennetts)
516
517
* The default permissions for creating new files and directories
518
should now be obtained from ``BzrDir._get_file_mode()`` and
519
``_get_dir_mode()``, rather than from LockableFiles. The ``_set_file_mode``
520
and ``_set_dir_mode`` variables on LockableFiles which were advertised
521
as a way for plugins to control this are no longer consulted.
522
(Martin Pool)
523
524
* ``VersionedFile.join`` is deprecated. This method required local
525
instances of both versioned file objects and was thus hostile to being
526
used for streaming from a smart server. The new get_record_stream and
527
insert_record_stream are meant to efficiently replace this method.
528
(Robert Collins)
529
530
* ``WorkingTree.set_parent_(ids/trees)`` will now filter out revisions
531
which are in the ancestry of other revisions. So if you merge the same
532
tree twice, or merge an ancestor of an existing merge, it will only
533
record the newest. (If you merge a descendent, it will replace its
534
ancestor). (John Arbash Meinel, #235407)
535
536
* ``WorkingTreeFormat2.stub_initialize_remote`` is now private.
537

bzr 1.5 2008-05-16
541
------------------
542
543
This release of Bazaar includes several updates to the documentation, and fixes
544
to prepare for making rich root support the default format. Many bugs have been
545
squashed, including fixes to log, bzr+ssh inter-operation with older servers.
546
547
CHANGES:
548
549
* Suppress deprecation warnings when bzrlib is a 'final' release. This way
550
users of packaged software won't be bothered with DeprecationWarnings,
551
but developers and testers will still see them. (John Arbash Meinel)
552
553
DOCUMENTATION:
554
555
* Incorporate feedback from Jelmer Vernooij and Neil Martinsen-Burrell
556
on the plugin and integration chapters of the User Guide.

561
---------------------
562
563
NOTES WHEN UPGRADING:
564
565
CHANGES:
566
567
* Broader support of GNU Emacs mail clients. Set
568
``mail_client=emacsclient`` in your bazaar.conf and ``send`` will pop the
569
bundle in a mail buffer according to the value of ``mail-user-agent``
570
variable. (Xavier Maillard)
571
572
FEATURES:
573
574
IMPROVEMENTS:
575
576
* Diff now handles revision specs like "branch:" and "submit:" more
577
efficiently. (Aaron Bentley, #202928)
578
579
* More friendly error given when attempt to start the smart server
580
on an address already in use. (Andrea Corbellini, #200575)
581
582
* Pull completes much faster when there is nothing to pull.
583
(Aaron Bentley)
584
585
BUGFIXES:
586
587
* Authentication.conf can define sections without password.
588
(Vincent Ladeuil, #199440)
589
590
* Avoid muttering every time a child update does not cause a progress bar
591
update. (John Arbash Meinel, #213771)
592
593
* ``Branch.reconcile()`` is now implemented. This allows ``bzr reconcile``
594
to fix when a Branch has a non-canonical mainline history. ``bzr check``
595
also detects this condition. (John Arbash Meinel, #177855)
596
597
* ``bzr log -r ..X bzr://`` was failing, because it was getting a request
598
for ``revision_id=None`` which was not a string.
599
(John Arbash Meinel, #211661)
600
601
* ``bzr commit`` now works with Microsoft's FTP service.
602
(Andreas Deininger)
603
604
* Catch definitions outside sections in authentication.conf.
605
(Vincent Ladeuil, #217650)
606
607
* Conversion from non-rich-root to rich-root(-pack) updates inventory
608
sha1s, even when bundles are used. (Aaron Bentley, #181391)
609
610
* Conversion from non-rich-root to rich-root(-pack) works correctly even
611
though search keys are not topologically sorted. (Aaron Bentley)
612
613
* Conversion from non-rich-root to rich-root(-pack) works even when a
614
parent revision has a different root id. (Aaron Bentley, #177874)
615
616
* Disable strace testing until strace is fixed (see bug #103133) and emit a
617
warning when selftest ends to remind us of leaking tests.
618
(Vincent Ladeuil, #226769)
619
620
* Fetching all revisions from a repository does not cause pack collisions.
621
(Robert Collins, Aaron Bentley, #212908)
622
623
* Fix error about "attempt to add line-delta in non-delta knit".
624
(Andrew Bennetts, #217701)
625
626
* Pushing a branch in "dirstate" format (Branch5) over bzr+ssh would break
627
if the remote server was < version 1.2. This was due to a bug in the
628
RemoteRepository.get_parent_map() fallback code.
629
(John Arbash Meinel, #214894)
630
631
* Remove leftover code in ``bzr_branch`` that inappropriately creates
632
a ``branch-name`` file in the branch control directory.
633
(Martin Pool)
634
635
* Set SO_REUSEADDR on server sockets of ``bzr serve`` to avoid problems
636
rebinding the socket when starting the server a second time.
637
(John Arbash Meinel, Martin Pool, #164288)
638
639
* Severe performance degradation in fetching from knit repositories to
640
knits and packs due to parsing the entire revisions.kndx on every graph
641
walk iteration fixed by using the Repository.get_graph API. There was
642
another regression in knit => knit fetching which re-read the index for
643
every revision each side had in common.
644
(Robert Collins, John Arbash Meinel)
645
646
* When logging the changes to a particular file, there was a bug if there
647
were ghosts in the revision ancestry. (John Arbash Meinel, #209948)
648
649
* xs4all's ftp server returns a temporary error when trying to list an
650
empty directory, rather than returning an empty list. Adding a
651
workaround so that we don't get spurious failures.
652
(John Arbash Meinel, #215522)
653
654
DOCUMENTATION:
655
656
* Expanded the User Guide to include new chapters on popular plugins and
657
integrating Bazaar into your environment. The *Best practices* chapter
658
was renamed to *Miscellaneous topics* as suggested by community
659
feedback as well. (Ian Clatworthy)
660
661
* Document outlining strategies for TortoiseBzr. (Mark Hammond)
662
663
* Improved the documentation on hooks. (Ian Clatworthy)
664
665
* Update authentication docs regarding ssh agents.
666
(Vincent Ladeuil, #183705)
667
668
TESTING:
669
670
* Add ``thread_name_suffix`` parameter to SmartTCPServer_for_testing, to
671
make it easy to identify which test spawned a thread with an unhandled
672
exception. (Andrew Bennetts)
673
674
* New ``--debugflag``/``-E`` option to ``bzr selftest`` for setting
675
options for debugging tests, these are complementary to the the -D
676
options. The ``-Dselftest_debug`` global option has been replaced by the
677
``-E=allow_debug`` option for selftest. (Andrew Bennetts)
678
679
* Parameterised test ids are preserved correctly to aid diagnosis of test
680
failures. (Robert Collins, Andrew Bennetts)
681
682
* selftest now accepts --starting-with <id> to load only the tests whose id
683
starts with the one specified. This greatly speeds up running the test
684
suite on a limited set of tests and can be used to run the tests for a
685
single module, a single class or even a single test. (Vincent Ladeuil)
686
687
* The test suite modules have been modified to define load_tests() instead
688
of test_suite(). That speeds up selective loading (via --load-list)
689
significantly and provides many examples on how to migrate (grep for
690
load_tests). (Vincent Ladeuil)
691
692
INTERNALS:
693
694
* ``Hooks.install_hook`` is now deprecated in favour of
695
``Hooks.install_named_hook`` which adds a required ``name`` parameter, to
696
avoid having to call ``Hooks.name_hook``. (Daniel Watkins)
697
698
* Implement xml8 serializer. (Aaron Bentley)
699
700
* New form ``@deprecated_method(deprecated_in(1, 5, 0))`` for making
701
deprecation wrappers. (Martin Pool)
702
703
* ``Repository.revision_parents`` is now deprecated in favour of
704
``Repository.get_parent_map([revid])[revid]``. (Jelmer Vernooij)
705
706
* The Python ``assert`` statement is no longer used in Bazaar source, and
707
a test checks this. (Martin Pool)
708
709
API CHANGES:
710
711
* ``bzrlib.status.show_pending_merges`` requires the repository to be
712
locked by the caller. Callers should have been doing it anyway, but it
713
will now raise an exception if they do not. (John Arbash Meinel)
714
715
* Repository.get_data_stream, Repository.get_data_stream_for_search(),
716
Repository.get_deltas_for_revsions(), Repository.revision_trees(),
717
Repository.item_keys_introduced_by() no longer take read locks.
718
(Aaron Bentley)
719
720
* ``LockableFiles.get_utf8`` and ``.get`` are deprecated, as a start
721
towards removing LockableFiles and ``.control_files`` entirely.
722
(Martin Pool)
723
724
* Methods deprecated prior to 1.1 have been removed.

bzr 1.4 2008-04-28
729
------------------
730
731
This release of Bazaar includes handy improvements to the speed of log and
732
status, new options for several commands, improved documentation, and better
733
hooks, including initial code for server-side hooks. A number of bugs have
734
been fixed, particularly in interoperability between different formats or
735
different releases of Bazaar over there network. There's been substantial
736
internal work in both the repository and network code to enable new features
737
and faster performance.
738
739
BUG FIXES:
740
741
* Pushing a branch in "dirstate" format (Branch5) over bzr+ssh would break
742
if the remote server was < version 1.2. This was due to a bug in the
743
RemoteRepository.get_parent_map() fallback code.

bzr 1.4rc2 2008-04-21
748
---------------------
749
750
BUG FIXES:
751
752
* ``bzr log -r ..X bzr://`` was failing, because it was getting a request
753
for ``revision_id=None`` which was not a string.
754
(John Arbash Meinel, #211661)
755
756
* Fixed a bug in handling ghost revisions when logging changes in a
757
particular file. (John Arbash Meinel, #209948)
758
759
* Fix error about "attempt to add line-delta in non-delta knit".
760
(Andrew Bennetts, #205156)
761
762
* Fixed performance degradation in fetching from knit repositories to
763
knits and packs due to parsing the entire revisions.kndx on every graph
764
walk iteration fixed by using the Repository.get_graph API. There was
765
another regression in knit => knit fetching which re-read the index for

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

1015
[2500/10884, 1fail, 3miss in 1m29s] test_revisionnamespaces.TestRev
1016
1017
* The test suite takes much less memory to run, and is a bit faster. This
1018
is done by clearing most attributes of TestCases after running them, if
1019
they succeeded. (Andrew Bennetts)
1020
1021
INTERNALS:
1022
1023
* Added ``_build_client_protocol`` to ``_SmartClient``. (Andrew Bennetts)
1024
1025
* Added basic infrastructure for automatic plugin suggestion.
1026
(Martin Albisetti)
1027
1028
* If a ``LockableFiles`` object is not explicitly unlocked (for example
1029
because of a missing ``try/finally`` block, it will give a warning but
1030
not automatically unlock itself. (Previously they did.) This
1031
sometimes caused knock-on errors if for example the network connection
1032
had already failed, and should not be relied upon by code.
1033
(Martin Pool, #109520)
1034
1035
* ``make dist`` target to build a release tarball, and also
1036
``check-dist-tarball`` and ``dist-upload-escudero``. (Martin Pool)
1037
1038
* The ``read_response_tuple`` method of ``SmartClientRequestProtocol*``
1039
classes will now raise ``UnknownSmartMethod`` when appropriate, so that
1040
callers don't need to try distinguish unknown request errors from other
1041
errors. (Andrew Bennetts)
1042
1043
* ``set_make_working_trees`` is now implemented provided on all repository
1044
implementations (Aaron Bentley)
1045
1046
* ``VersionedFile`` now has a new method ``get_parent_map`` which, like
1047
``Graph.get_parent_map`` returns a dict of key:parents. (Robert Collins)

------------------
1069
1070
Bazaar has become part of the GNU project <http://www.gnu.org>
1071
1072
Many operations that act on history, including ``log`` and ``annotate`` are now
1073
substantially faster. Several bugs have been fixed and several new options and
1074
features have been added.
1075
1076
TESTING:
1077

NOTES WHEN UPGRADING:
1087
1088
* The backup directory created by ``upgrade`` is now called
1089
``backup.bzr``, not ``.bzr.backup``. (Martin Albisetti)
1090
1091
CHANGES:
1092
1093
* A new repository format 'development' has been added. This format will
1094
represent the latest 'in-progress' format that the bzr developers are
1095
interested in getting early-adopter testing and feedback on.
1096
``doc/developers/development-repo.txt`` has detailed information.
1097
(Robert Collins)
1098
1099
* BZR_LOG environment variable controls location of .bzr.log trace file.
1100
User can suppress writing messages to .bzr.log by using '/dev/null'
1101
filename (on Linux) or 'NUL' (on Windows). If BZR_LOG variable
1102
is not defined but BZR_HOME is defined then default location
1103
for .bzr.log trace file is ``$BZR_HOME/.bzr.log``.
1104
(Alexander Belchenko)
1105
1106
* ``launchpad`` builtin plugin now shipped as separate part in standalone
1107
bzr.exe, installed to ``C:\Program Files\Bazaar\plugins`` directory,
1108
and standalone installer allows user to skip installation of this plugin.
1109
(Alexander Belchenko)
1110
1111
* Restore auto-detection of plink.exe on Windows. (Dmitry Vasiliev)
1112
1113
* Version number is now shown as "1.2" or "1.2pr2", without zeroed or
1114
missing final fields. (Martin Pool)
1115
1116
FEATURES:
1117
1118
* ``branch`` and ``checkout`` can hard-link working tree files, which is
1119
faster and saves space. (Aaron Bentley)
1120
1121
* ``bzr send`` will now also look at the ``child_submit_to`` setting in
1122
the submit branch to determine the email address to send to.
1123
(Jelmer Vernooij)
1124
1125
IMPROVEMENTS:
1126
1127
* BzrBranch._lefthand_history is faster on pack repos. (Aaron Bentley)
1128
1129
* Branch6.generate_revision_history is faster. (Aaron Bentley)
1130
1131
* Directory services can now be registered, allowing special URLs to be
1132
dereferenced into real URLs. This is a generalization and cleanup of
1133
the lp: transport lookup. (Aaron Bentley)
1134
1135
* Merge directives that are automatically attached to emails have nicer
1136
filenames, based on branch-nick + revno. (Aaron Bentley)
1137
1138
* ``push`` has a ``--revision`` option, to specify what revision to push up
1139
to. (Daniel Watkins)
1140
1141
* Significantly reducing execution time and network traffic for trivial
1142
case of running ``bzr missing`` command for two identical branches.
1143
(Alexander Belchenko)
1144
1145
* Speed up operations that look at the revision graph (such as 'bzr log').
1146
``KnitPackRepositor.get_revision_graph`` uses ``Graph.iter_ancestry`` to
1147
extract the revision history. This allows filtering ghosts while
1148
stepping instead of needing to peek ahead. (John Arbash Meinel)
1149
1150
* The ``hooks`` command lists installed hooks, to assist in debugging.
1151
(Daniel Watkins)
1152
1153
* Updates to how ``annotate`` work. Should see a measurable improvement in
1154
performance and memory consumption for file with a lot of merges.
1155
Also, correctly handle when a line is introduced by both parents (it
1156
should be attributed to the first merge which notices this, and not
1157
to all subsequent merges.) (John Arbash Meinel)
1158
1159
BUGFIXES:
1160
1161
* Autopacking no longer holds the full set of inventory lines in
1162
memory while copying. For large repositories, this can amount to
1163
hundreds of MB of ram consumption.
1164
(Ian Clatworthy, John Arbash Meinel)
1165
1166
* Cherrypicking when using ``--format=merge3`` now explictly excludes
1167
BASE lines. (John Arbash Meinel, #151731)
1168
1169
* Disable plink's interactive prompt for password.
1170
(#107593, Dmitry Vasiliev)
1171
1172
* Encode command line arguments from unicode to user_encoding before
1173
invoking external mail client in `bzr send` command.
1174
(#139318, Alexander Belchenko)
1175
1176
* Fixed problem connecting to ``bzr+https://`` servers.
1177
(#198793, John Ferlito)
1178
1179
* Improved error reporting in the Launchpad plugin. (Daniel Watkins,
1180
#196618)
1181
1182
* Include quick-start-summary.svg file to python-based installer(s)
1183
for Windows. (#192924, Alexander Belchenko)
1184
1185
* lca merge now respects specified files. (Aaron Bentley)
1186
1187
* Make version-info --custom imply --all. (#195560, James Westby)
1188
1189
* ``merge --preview`` now works for merges that add or modify
1190
symlinks (James Henstridge)
1191
1192
* Redirecting the output from ``bzr merge`` (when the remembered
1193
location is used) now works. (John Arbash Meinel)
1194
1195
* setup.py script explicitly checks for Python version.
1196
(Jari Aalto, Alexander Belchenko, #200569)
1197
1198
* UnknownFormatErrors no longer refer to branches regardless of kind of
1199
unknown format. (Daniel Watkins, #173980)
1200
1201
* Upgrade bundled ConfigObj to version 4.5.2, which properly quotes #
1202
signs, among other small improvements. (Matt Nordhoff, #86838)
1203
1204
* Use correct indices when emitting LCA conflicts. This fixes IndexError
1205
errors. (Aaron Bentley, #196780)
1206
1207
DOCUMENTATION:
1208
1209
* Explained how to use ``version-info --custom`` in the User Guide.
1210
(Neil Martinsen-Burrell)
1211
1212
API BREAKS:
1213
1214
* Support for loading plugins from zip files and
1215
``bzrlib.plugin.load_from_zip()`` function are deprecated.
1216
(Alexander Belchenko)
1217
1218
TESTING:
1219
1220
* Added missing blackbox tests for ``modified`` (Adrian Wilkins)
1221
1222
* The branch interface tests were invalid for branches using rich-root
1223
repositories because the empty string is not a valid file-id.
1224
(Robert Collins)
1225
1226
INTERNALS:
1227
1228
* ``Graph.iter_ancestry`` returns the ancestry of revision ids. Similar to
1229
``Repository.get_revision_graph()`` except it includes ghosts and you can
1230
stop part-way through. (John Arbash Meinel)
1231
1232
* New module ``tools/package_mf.py`` provide custom module finder for
1233
python packages (improves standard python library's modulefinder.py)
1234
used by ``setup.py`` script while building standalone bzr.exe.
1235
(Alexander Belchenko)
1236
1237
* New remote method ``RemoteBzrDir.find_repositoryV2`` adding support for
1238
detecting external lookup support on remote repositories. This method is
1239
now attempted first when lookup up repositories, leading to an extra
1240
round trip on older bzr smart servers. (Robert Collins)
1241
1242
* Repository formats have a new supported-feature attribute
1243
``supports_external_lookups`` used to indicate repositories which support
1244
falling back to other repositories when they have partial data.
1245
(Robert Collins)
1246
1247
* ``Repository.get_revision_graph_with_ghosts`` and
1248
``bzrlib.revision.(common_ancestor,MultipleRevisionSources,common_graph)``
1249
have been deprecated. (John Arbash Meinel)
1250
1251
* ``Tree.iter_changes`` is now a public API, replacing the work-in-progress
1252
``Tree._iter_changes``. The api is now considered stable and ready for
1253
external users. (Aaron Bentley)
1254
1255
* The bzrdir format registry now accepts an ``alias`` keyword to
1256
register_metadir, used to indicate that a format name is an alias for
1257
some other format and thus should not be reported when describing the
1258
format. (Robert Collins)

---------------------
1271
1272
NOTES WHEN UPGRADING:
1273
1274
* Fetching via the smart protocol may need to reconnect once during a fetch
1275
if the remote server is running Bazaar 1.1 or earlier, because the client
1276
attempts to use more efficient requests that confuse older servers. You
1277
may be required to re-enter a password or passphrase when this happens.
1278
This won't happen if the server is upgraded to Bazaar 1.2.
1279
(Andrew Bennetts)
1280
1281
CHANGES:
1282
1283
* Fetching via bzr+ssh will no longer fill ghosts by default (this is
1284
consistent with pack-0.92 fetching over SFTP). (Robert Collins)
1285
1286
* Formatting of ``bzr plugins`` output is changed to be more human-
1287
friendly. Full path of plugins locations will be shown only with
1288
``--verbose`` command-line option. (Alexander Belchenko)
1289
1290
* ``merge`` now prefers to use the submit branch, but will fall back to
1291
parent branch. For many users, this has no effect. But some users who
1292
pull and merge on the same branch will notice a change. This change
1293
makes it easier to work on a branch on two different machines, pulling
1294
between the machines, while merging from the upstream.
1295
``merge --remember`` can now be used to set the submit_branch.
1296
(Aaron Bentley)
1297
1298
FEATURES:
1299
1300
* ``merge --preview`` produces a diff of the changes merge would make,
1301
but does not actually perform the merge. (Aaron Bentley)
1302
1303
* New smart method ``Repository.get_parent_map`` for getting revision
1304
parent data. This returns additional parent information topologically
1305
adjacent to the requested data to reduce round trip latency impacts.
1306
(Robert Collins)
1307
1308
* New smart method, ``Repository.stream_revisions_chunked``, for fetching
1309
revision data that streams revision data via a chunked encoding. This
1310
avoids buffering large amounts of revision data on the server and on the
1311
client, and sends less data to the server to request the revisions.
1312
(Andrew Bennetts, Robert Collins, #178353)
1313
1314
* The launchpad plugin now handles lp urls of the form
1315
``lp://staging/``, ``lp://demo/``, ``lp://dev/`` to use the appropriate
1316
launchpad instance to do the resolution of the branch identities.
1317
This is primarily of use to Launchpad developers, but can also
1318
be used by other users who want to try out Launchpad as
1319
a branch location without messing up their public Launchpad
1320
account. Branches that are pushed to the staging environment
1321
have an expected lifetime of one day. (Tim Penhey)
1322
1323
IMPROVEMENTS:
1324
1325
* Creating a new branch no longer tries to read the entire revision-history
1326
unnecessarily over smart server operations. (Robert Collins)
1327
1328
* Fetching between different repository formats with compatible models now
1329
takes advantage of the smart method to stream revisions. (Andrew Bennetts)
1330
1331
* The ``--coverage`` option is now global, rather specific to ``bzr
1332
selftest``. (Andrew Bennetts)
1333
1334
* The ``register-branch`` command will now use the public url of the branch
1335
containing the current directory, if one has been set and no explicit
1336
branch is provided. (Robert Collins)
1337
1338
* Tweak the ``reannotate`` code path to optimize the 2-parent case.
1339
Speeds up ``bzr annotate`` with a pack repository by approx 3:2.
1340
(John Arbash Meinel)
1341
1342
BUGFIXES:
1343
1344
* Calculate remote path relative to the shared medium in _SmartClient. This
1345
is related to the problem in bug #124089. (Andrew Bennetts)
1346
1347
* Cleanly handle connection errors in smart protocol version two, the same
1348
way as they are handled by version one. (Andrew Bennetts)
1349
1350
* Clearer error when ``version-info --custom`` is used without
1351
``--template`` (Lukáš Lalinský)
1352
1353
* Don't raise UnavailableFeature during test setup when medusa is not
1354
available or tearDown is never called leading to nasty side effects.
1355
(#137823, Vincent Ladeuil)
1356
1357
* If a plugin's test suite cannot be loaded, for example because of a syntax
1358
error in the tests, then ``selftest`` fails, rather than just printing
1359
a warning. (Martin Pool, #189771)
1360
1361
* List possible values for BZR_SSH environment variable in env-variables
1362
help topic. (Alexander Belchenko, #181842)
1363
1364
* New methods ``push_log_file`` and ``pop_log_file`` to intercept messages:
1365
popping the log redirection now precisely restores the previous state,
1366
which makes it easier to use bzr log output from other programs.
1367
TestCaseInTempDir no longer depends on a log redirection being established
1368
by the test framework, which lets bzr tests cleanly run from a normal
1369
unittest runner.
1370
(#124153, #124849, Martin Pool, Jonathan Lange)
1371
1372
* ``pull --quiet`` is now more quiet, in particular a message is no longer
1373
printed when the remembered pull location is used. (James Westby,
1374
#185907)
1375
1376
* ``reconfigure`` can safely be interrupted while fetching.
1377
(Aaron Bentley, #179316)
1378
1379
* ``reconfigure`` preserves tags when converting to and from lightweight
1380
checkouts. (Aaron Bentley, #182040)
1381
1382
* Stop polluting /tmp when running selftest.
1383
(Vincent Ladeuil, #123623)
1384
1385
* Switch from NFKC => NFC for normalization checks. NFC allows a few
1386
more characters which should be considered valid.
1387
(John Arbash Meinel, #185458)
1388
1389
* The launchpad plugin now uses the ``edge`` xmlrpc server to avoid
1390
interacting badly with a bug on the launchpad side. (Robert Collins)
1391
1392
* Unknown hostnames when connecting to a ``bzr://`` URL no longer cause
1393
tracebacks. (Andrew Bennetts, #182849)
1394
1395
API BREAKS:
1396
1397
* Classes implementing Merge types like Merge3Merger must now accept (and
1398
honour) a do_merge flag in their constructor. (Aaron Bentley)
1399
1400
* ``Repository.add_inventory`` and ``add_revision`` now require the caller
1401
to previously take a write lock (and start a write group.)
1402
(Martin Pool)
1403
1404
TESTING:
1405
1406
* selftest now accepts --load-list <file> to load a test id list. This
1407
speeds up running the test suite on a limited set of tests.
1408
(Vincent Ladeuil)
1409
1410
INTERNALS:
1411
1412
* Add a new method ``get_result`` to graph search objects. The resulting
1413
``SearchResult`` can be used to recreate the search later, which will
1414
be useful in reducing network traffic. (Robert Collins)
1415
1416
* Use convenience function to check whether two repository handles
1417
are referring to the same repository in ``Repository.get_graph``.
1418
(Jelmer Vernooij, #187162)
1419
1420
* Fetching now passes the find_ghosts flag through to the
1421
``InterRepository.missing_revision_ids`` call consistently for all
1422
repository types. This will enable faster missing revision discovery with
1423
bzr+ssh. (Robert Collins)
1424
1425
* Fix error handling in Repository.insert_data_stream. (Lukas Lalinsky)
1426
1427
* ``InterRepository.missing_revision_ids`` is now deprecated in favour of
1428
``InterRepository.search_missing_revision_ids`` which returns a
1429
``bzrlib.graph.SearchResult`` suitable for making requests from the smart
1430
server. (Robert Collins)
1431
1432
* New error ``NoPublicBranch`` for commands that need a public branch to
1433
operate. (Robert Collins)
1434
1435
* New method ``iter_inventories`` on Repository for access to many
1436
inventories. This is primarily used by the ``revision_trees`` method, as
1437
direct access to inventories is discouraged. (Robert Collins)
1438
1439
* New method ``next_with_ghosts`` on the Graph breadth-first-search objects
1440
which will split out ghosts and present parents into two separate sets,
1441
useful for code which needs to be aware of ghosts (e.g. fetching data
1442
cares about ghosts during revision selection). (Robert Collins)
1443
1444
* Record a timestamp against each mutter to the trace file, relative to the
1445
first import of bzrlib. (Andrew Bennetts)
1446
1447
* ``Repository.get_data_stream`` is now deprecated in favour of
1448
``Repository.get_data_stream_for_search`` which allows less network
1449
traffic when requesting data streams over a smart server. (Robert Collins)
1450
1451
* ``RemoteBzrDir._get_tree_branch`` no longer triggers ``_ensure_real``,
1452
removing one round trip on many network operations. (Robert Collins)
1453
1454
* RemoteTransport's ``recommended_page_size`` method now returns 64k, like
1455
SFTPTransport and HttpTransportBase. (Andrew Bennetts)
1456
1457
* Repository has a new method ``has_revisions`` which signals the presence
1458
of many revisions by returning a set of the revisions listed which are
1459
present. This can be done by index queries without reading data for parent
1460
revision names etc. (Robert Collins)

bzr 1.1rc1 2008-01-05
1469
---------------------
1470
1471
CHANGES:
1472
1473
* Dotted revision numbers have been revised. Instead of growing longer with
1474
nested branches the branch number just increases. (eg instead of 1.1.1.1.1
1475
we now report 1.2.1.) This helps scale long lived branches which have many
1476
feature branches merged between them. (John Arbash Meinel)
1477
1478
* The syntax ``bzr diff branch1 branch2`` is no longer supported.
1479
Use ``bzr diff branch1 --new branch2`` instead. This change has
1480
been made to remove the ambiguity where ``branch2`` is in fact a
1481
specific file to diff within ``branch1``.
1482
1483
FEATURES:
1484
1485
* New option to use custom template-based formats in ``bzr version-info``.
1486
(Lukáš Lalinský)
1487
1488
* diff '--using' allows an external diff tool to be used for files.
1489
(Aaron Bentley)
1490
1491
* New "lca" merge-type for fast everyday merging that also supports
1492
criss-cross merges. (Aaron Bentley)
1493
1494
IMPROVEMENTS:
1495
1496
* ``annotate`` now doesn't require a working tree. (Lukáš Lalinský,
1497
#90049)
1498
1499
* ``branch`` and ``checkout`` can now use files from a working tree to
1500
to speed up the process. For checkout, this requires the new
1501
--files-from flag. (Aaron Bentley)
1502
1503
* ``bzr diff`` now sorts files in alphabetical order. (Aaron Bentley)
1504
1505
* ``bzr diff`` now works on branches without working trees. Tree-less
1506
branches can also be compared to each other and to working trees using
1507
the new diff options ``--old`` and ``--new``. Diffing between branches,
1508
with or without trees, now supports specific file filtering as well.
1509
(Ian Clatworthy, #6700)
1510
1511
* ``bzr pack`` now orders revision texts in topological order, with newest
1512
at the start of the file, promoting linear reads for ``bzr log`` and the
1513
like. This partially fixes #154129. (Robert Collins)
1514
1515
* Merge directives now fetch prerequisites from the target branch if
1516
needed. (Aaron Bentley)
1517
1518
* pycurl now handles digest authentication.
1519
(Vincent Ladeuil)
1520
1521
* ``reconfigure`` can now convert from repositories. (Aaron Bentley)
1522
1523
* ``-l`` is now a short form for ``--limit`` in ``log``. (Matt Nordhoff)
1524
1525
* ``merge`` now warns when merge directives cause cherrypicks.
1526
(Aaron Bentley)
1527
1528
* ``split`` now supported, to enable splitting large trees into smaller
1529
pieces. (Aaron Bentley)
1530
1531
BUGFIXES:
1532
1533
* Avoid AttributeError when unlocking a pack repository when an error occurs.
1534
(Martin Pool, #180208)
1535
1536
* Better handle short reads when processing multiple range requests.
1537
(Vincent Ladeuil, #179368)
1538
1539
* build_tree acceleration uses the correct path when a file has been moved.
1540
(Aaron Bentley)
1541
1542
* ``commit`` now succeeds when a checkout and its master branch share a
1543
repository. (Aaron Bentley, #177592)
1544
1545
* Fixed error reporting of unsupported timezone format in
1546
``log --timezone``. (Lukáš Lalinský, #178722)
1547
1548
* Fixed Unicode encoding error in ``ignored`` when the output is
1549
redirected to a pipe. (Lukáš Lalinský)
1550
1551
* Fix traceback when sending large response bodies over the smart protocol
1552
on Windows. (Andrew Bennetts, #115781)
1553
1554
* Fix ``urlutils.relative_url`` for the case of two ``file:///`` URLs
1555
pointed to different logical drives on Windows.
1556
(Alexander Belchenko, #90847)
1557
1558
* HTTP test servers are now compatible with the http protocol version 1.1.
1559
(Vincent Ladeuil, #175524)
1560
1561
* _KnitParentsProvider.get_parent_map now handles requests for ghosts
1562
correctly, instead of erroring or attributing incorrect parents to ghosts.
1563
(Aaron Bentley)
1564
1565
* ``merge --weave --uncommitted`` now works. (Aaron Bentley)
1566
1567
* pycurl authentication handling was broken and incomplete. Fix handling of
1568
user:pass embedded in the urls.
1569
(Vincent Ladeuil, #177643)
1570
1571
* Files inside non-directories are now handled like other conflict types.
1572
(Aaron Bentley, #177390)
1573
1574
* ``reconfigure`` is able to convert trees into lightweight checkouts.
1575
(Aaron Bentley)
1576
1577
* Reduce lockdir timeout to 0 when running ``bzr serve``. (Andrew Bennetts,
1578
#148087)
1579
1580
* Test that the old ``version_info_format`` functions still work, even
1581
though they are deprecated. (John Arbash Meinel, ShenMaq, #177872)
1582
1583
* Transform failures no longer cause ImmortalLimbo errors (Aaron Bentley,
1584
#137681)
1585
1586
* ``uncommit`` works even when the commit messages of revisions to be
1587
removed use characters not supported in the terminal encoding.
1588
(Aaron Bentley)
1589
1590
* When dumb http servers return whole files instead of the requested ranges,
1591
read the remaining bytes by chunks to avoid overflowing network buffers.
1592
(Vincent Ladeuil, #175886)
1593
1594
DOCUMENTATION:
1595
1596
* Minor tweaks made to the bug tracker integration documentation.
1597
(Ian Clatworthy)
1598
1599
* Reference material has now be moved out of the User Guide and added
1600
to the User Reference. The User Reference has gained 4 sections as
1601
a result: Authenication Settings, Configuration Settings, Conflicts
1602
and Hooks. All help topics are now dumped into text format in the
1603
doc/en/user-reference directory for those who like browsing that
1604
information in their editor. (Ian Clatworthy)
1605
1606
* *Using Bazaar with Launchpad* tutorial added. (Ian Clatworthy)
1607
1608
INTERNALS:
1609
1610
* find_* methods available for BzrDirs, Branches and WorkingTrees.
1611
(Aaron Bentley)
1612
1613
* Help topics can now be loaded from files.
1614
(Ian Clatworthy, Alexander Belchenko)
1615
1616
* get_parent_map now always provides tuples as its output. (Aaron Bentley)
1617
1618
* Parent Providers should now implement ``get_parent_map`` returning a
1619
dictionary instead of ``get_parents`` returning a list.
1620
``Graph.get_parents`` is now deprecated. (John Arbash Meinel,
1621
Robert Collins)
1622
1623
* Patience Diff now supports arbitrary python objects, as long as they
1624
support ``hash()``. (John Arbash Meinel)
1625
1626
* Reduce selftest overhead to establish test names by memoization.
1627
(Vincent Ladeuil)
1628
1629
API BREAKS:
1630
1631
TESTING:
1632
1633
* Modules can now customise their tests by defining a ``load_tests``
1634
attribute. ``pydoc bzrlib.tests.TestUtil.TestLoader.loadTestsFromModule``
1635
for the documentation on this attribute. (Robert Collins)
1636
1637
* New helper function ``bzrlib.tests.condition_id_re`` which helps
1638
filter tests based on a regular expression search on the tests id.
1639
(Robert Collins)
1640
1641
* New helper function ``bzrlib.tests.condition_isinstance`` which helps
1642
filter tests based on class. (Robert Collins)
1643
1644
* New helper function ``bzrlib.tests.exclude_suite_by_condition`` which
1645
generalises the ``exclude_suite_by_re`` function. (Robert Collins)
1646
1647
* New helper function ``bzrlib.tests.filter_suite_by_condition`` which
1648
generalises the ``filter_suite_by_re`` function. (Robert Collins)
1649
1650
* New helper method ``bzrlib.tests.exclude_tests_by_re`` which gives a new
1651
TestSuite that does not contain tests from the input that matched a
1652
regular expression. (Robert Collins)
1653
1654
* New helper method ``bzrlib.tests.randomize_suite`` which returns a
1655
randomized copy of the input suite. (Robert Collins)
1656
1657
* New helper method ``bzrlib.tests.split_suite_by_re`` which splits a test
1658
suite into two according to a regular expression. (Robert Collins)
1659
1660
* Parametrize all http tests for the transport implementations, the http
1661
protocol versions (1.0 and 1.1) and the authentication schemes.
1662
(Vincent Ladeuil)
1663
1664
* The ``exclude_pattern`` and ``random_order`` parameters to the function
1665
``bzrlib.tests.filter_suite_by_re`` have been deprecated. (Robert Collins)
1666
1667
* The method ``bzrlib.tests.sort_suite_by_re`` has been deprecated. It is
1668
replaced by the new helper methods added in this release. (Robert Collins)

BUGFIXES:
1699
1700
* Fix Makefile rules for doc generation. (Ian Clatworthy, #175207)
1701
1702
* Give more feedback during long http downloads by making readv deliver data
1703
as it arrives for urllib, and issue more requests for pycurl. High latency
1704
networks are better handled by urllib, the pycurl implementation give more
1705
feedback but also incur more latency.
1706
(Vincent Ladeuil, #173010)
1707
1708

1732
1733
* Annotate merge (merge-type=weave) now supports cherrypicking.
1734
(Aaron Bentley)
1735
1736
* ``bzr commit`` now doesn't print the revision number twice. (Matt
1737
Nordhoff, #172612)
1738
1739
* New configuration option ``bugtracker_<tracker_abbrevation>_url`` to
1740
define locations of bug trackers that are not directly supported by
1741
bzr or a plugin. The URL will be treated as a template and ``{id}``
1742
placeholders will be replaced by specific bug IDs. (Lukáš Lalinský)
1743
1744
* Support logging single merge revisions with short and line log formatters.
1745
(Kent Gibson)
1746
1747
* User Guide enhanced with suggested readability improvements from
1748
Matt Revell and corrections from John Arbash Meinel. (Ian Clatworthy)
1749
1750
* Quick Start Guide renamed to Quick Start Card, moved down in
1751
the catalog, provided in pdf and png format and updated to refer
1752
to ``send`` instead of ``bundle``. (Ian Clatworthy, #165080)
1753
1754
* ``switch`` can now be used on heavyweight checkouts as well as
1755
lightweight ones. After switching a heavyweight checkout, the
1756
local branch is a mirror/cache of the new bound branch and
1757
uncommitted changes in the working tree are merged. As a safety
1758
check, if there are local commits in a checkout which have not
1759
been committed to the previously bound branch, then ``switch``
1760
fails unless the ``--force`` option is given. This option is
1761
now also required if the branch a lightweight checkout is pointing
1762
to has been moved. (Ian Clatworthy)

1777
filename to user.
1778
(Alexander Belchenko, #111758)
1779
1780
* Catch ShortReadvErrors while using pycurl. Also make readv more robust by
1781
allowing multiple GET requests to be issued if too many ranges are
1782
required.
1783
(Vincent Ladeuil, #172701)
1784
1785
* Check for missing basis texts when fetching from packs to packs.
1786
(John Arbash Meinel, #165290)
1787

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

1878
* Diff does not require an inventory to be generated on dirstate trees.
1879
(Aaron Bentley, #149254)
1880
1881
* New annotate merge (--merge-type=weave) implementation is fast on
1882
versionedfiles withough cached annotations, e.g. pack-0.92.
1883
(Aaron Bentley)
1884
1885
IMPROVEMENTS:
1886
1887
* ``bzr merge`` now warns when it encounters a criss-cross merge.
1888
(Aaron Bentley)
1889
1890
* ``bzr send`` now doesn't require the target e-mail address to be
1891
specified on the command line if an interactive e-mail client is used.
1892
(Lukáš Lalinský)
1893
1894
* ``bzr tags`` now prints the revision number for each tag, instead of
1895
the revision id, unless --show-ids is passed. In addition, tags can be
1896
sorted chronologically instead of lexicographically with --sort=time.
1897
(Adeodato Simó, #120231)
1898
1899
* Windows standalone version of bzr is able to load system-wide plugins from
1900
"plugins" subdirectory in installation directory. In addition standalone
1901
installer write to the registry (HKLM\SOFTWARE\Bazaar) useful info
1902
about paths and bzr version. (Alexander Belchenko, #129298)

* Branching from a branch via smart server now preserves the repository
1912
format. (Andrew Bennetts, #164626)
1913

1930
(Aaron Bentley)
1931
1932
* Do no use timeout in HttpServer anymore.
1933
(Vincent Ladeuil, #158972).
1934
1935
* Don't catch the exceptions related to the http pipeline status before
1936
retrying an http request or some programming errors may be masked.
1937
(Vincent Ladeuil, #160012)
1938
1939

1950
1951
* Fix possible error in insert_data_stream when copying between
1952
pack repositories over bzr+ssh or bzr+http.
1953
KnitVersionedFile.get_data_stream now makes sure that requested
1954
compression parents are sent before any delta hunks that depend
1955
on them.
1956
(Martin Pool, #164637)
1957
1958
* Fix typo in limiting offsets coalescing for http, leading to
1959
whole files being downloaded instead of parts.
1960
(Vincent Ladeuil, #165061)
1961
1962
* FTP server errors don't error in the error handling code.
1963
(Robert Collins, #161240)
1964
1965
* Give a clearer message when a pull fails because the source needs
1966
to be reconciled.
1967
(Martin Pool, #164443)
1968
1969
* It is clearer when a plugin cannot be loaded because of its name, and a
1970
suggestion for an acceptable name is given. (Daniel Watkins, #103023)
1971
1972
* Leave port as None in transport objects if user doesn't
1973
specify a port in urls.
1974
(vincent Ladeuil, #150860)
1975
1976
* Make sure Repository.fetch(self) is properly a no-op for all
1977
Repository implementations. (John Arbash Meinel, #158333)
1978
1979
* Mark .bzr directories as "hidden" on Windows.

1993
1994
* ``RemoteBranch`` was not initializing ``self._revision_id_to_revno_map``
1995
properly. (John Arbash Meinel, #162486)

(Kent Gibson, #133751)
2005
2006
* Return error instead of a traceback when bzr is unable to create
2007
symlink on some platforms (e.g. on Windows).
2008
(Alexander Belchenko, workaround for #81689)
2009
2010
* Revert doesn't crash when restoring a single file from a deleted
2011
directory. (Aaron Bentley)
2012
2013
* Stderr output via logging mechanism now goes through encoded wrapper
2014
and no more uses utf-8, but terminal encoding instead. So all unicode
2015
strings now should be readable in non-utf-8 terminal.
2016
(Alexander Belchenko, #54173)
2017
2018
* The error message when ``move --after`` should be used makes how to do so
2019
clearer. (Daniel Watkins, #85237)
2020
2021
* Unicode-safe output from ``bzr info``. The output will be encoded
2022
using the terminal encoding and unrepresentable characters will be
2023
replaced by '?'. (Lukáš Lalinský, #151844)
2024
2025
* Working trees are no longer created when pushing into a local no-trees
2026
repo. (Daniel Watkins, #50582)
2027
2028
* Upgrade util/configobj to version 4.4.0.
2029
(Vincent Ladeuil, #151208).
2030
2031
* Wrap medusa ftp test server as an FTPServer feature.
2032
(Vincent Ladeuil, #157752)
2033
2034
API BREAKS:
2035
2036
* ``osutils.backup_file`` is deprecated. Actually it's not used in bzrlib
2037
during very long time. (Alexander Belchenko)
2038
2039
* The return value of
2040
``VersionedFile.iter_lines_added_or_present_in_versions`` has been
2041
changed. Previously it was an iterator of lines, now it is an iterator of
2042
(line, version_id) tuples. This change has been made to aid reconcile and
2043
fetch operations. (Robert Collins)
2044
2045
* ``bzrlib.repository.get_versioned_file_checker`` is now private.
2046
(Robert Collins)
2047
2048
* The Repository format registry default has been removed; it was previously
2049
obsoleted by the bzrdir format default, which implies a default repository
2050
format.
2051
(Martin Pool)
2052
2053
INTERNALS:
2054
2055
* Added ``ContainerSerialiser`` and ``ContainerPushParser`` to
2056
``bzrlib.pack``. These classes provide more convenient APIs for generating
2057
and parsing containers from streams rather than from files. (Andrew
2058
Bennetts)
2059
2060
* New module ``lru_cache`` providing a cache for use by tasks that need
2061
semi-random access to large amounts of data. (John A Meinel)
2062
2063
* InventoryEntry.diff is now deprecated. Please use diff.DiffTree instead.

NOTES WHEN UPGRADING:
2080
2081
CHANGES:
2082
2083
* ``bzr`` now returns exit code 4 if an internal error occurred, and
2084
3 if a normal error occurred. (Martin Pool)
2085
2086
* ``pull``, ``merge`` and ``push`` will no longer silently correct some
2087
repository index errors that occured as a result of the Weave disk format.
2088
Instead the ``reconcile`` command needs to be run to correct those
2089
problems if they exist (and it has been able to fix most such problems
2090
since bzr 0.8). Some new problems have been identified during this release
2091
and you should run ``bzr check`` once on every repository to see if you
2092
need to reconcile. If you cannot ``pull`` or ``merge`` from a remote
2093
repository due to mismatched parent errors - a symptom of index errors -
2094
you should simply take a full copy of that remote repository to a clean
2095
directory outside any local repositories, then run reconcile on it, and
2096
finally pull from it locally. (And naturally email the repositories owner
2097
to ask them to upgrade and run reconcile).
2098
(Robert Collins)
2099
2100
FEATURES:
2101
2102
* New ``knitpack-experimental`` repository format. This is interoperable with
2103
the ``dirstate-tags`` format but uses a smarter storage design that greatly
2104
speeds up many operations, both local and remote. This new format can be
2105
used as an option to the ``init``, ``init-repository`` and ``upgrade``
2106
commands. See http://doc.bazaar-vcs.org/0.92/developers/knitpack.html
2107
for further details. (Robert Collins)
2108
2109
* For users of bzr-svn (and those testing the prototype subtree support) that
2110
wish to try packs, a new ``knitpack-subtree-experimental`` format has also
2111
been added. This is interoperable with the ``dirstate-subtrees`` format.
2112
(Robert Collins)
2113
2114
* New ``reconfigure`` command. (Aaron Bentley)
2115
2116
* New ``revert --forget-merges`` command, which removes the record of a pending
2117
merge without affecting the working tree contents. (Martin Pool)
2118
2119
* New ``bzr_remote_path`` configuration variable allows finer control of
2120
remote bzr locations than BZR_REMOTE_PATH environment variable.
2121
(Aaron Bentley)
2122
2123
* New ``launchpad-login`` command to tell Bazaar your Launchpad
2124
user ID. This can then be used by other functions of the
2125
Launchpad plugin. (James Henstridge)
2126
2127
PERFORMANCE:
2128
2129
* Commit in quiet mode is now slightly faster as the information to
2130
output is no longer calculated. (Ian Clatworthy)
2131
2132
* Commit no longer checks for new text keys during insertion when the
2133
revision id was deterministically unique. (Robert Collins)
2134
2135
* Committing a change which is not a merge and does not change the number of
2136
files in the tree is faster by utilising the data about whether files are
2137
changed to determine if the tree is unchanged rather than recalculating
2138
it at the end of the commit process. (Robert Collins)
2139
2140
* Inventory serialisation no longer double-sha's the content.
2141
(Robert Collins)
2142
2143
* Knit text reconstruction now avoids making copies of the lines list for
2144
interim texts when building a single text. The new ``apply_delta`` method
2145
on ``KnitContent`` aids this by allowing modification of the revision id
2146
such objects represent. (Robert Collins)
2147
2148
* Pack indices are now partially parsed for specific key lookup using a
2149
bisection approach. (Robert Collins)
2150
2151
* Partial commits are now approximately 40% faster by walking over the
2152
unselected current tree more efficiently. (Robert Collins)
2153
2154
* XML inventory serialisation takes 20% less time while being stricter about
2155
the contents. (Robert Collins)
2156
2157
* Graph ``heads()`` queries have been fixed to no longer access all history
2158
unnecessarily. (Robert Collins)
2159
2160
IMPROVEMENTS:
2161
2162
* ``bzr+https://`` smart server across https now supported.
2163
(John Ferlito, Martin Pool, #128456)
2164
2165
* Mutt is now a supported mail client; set ``mail_client=mutt`` in your
2166
bazaar.conf and ``send`` will use mutt. (Keir Mierle)
2167
2168
* New option ``-c``/``--change`` for ``merge`` command for cherrypicking
2169
changes from one revision. (Alexander Belchenko, #141368)
2170
2171
* Show encodings, locale and list of plugins in the traceback message.
2172
(Martin Pool, #63894)
2173
2174
* Experimental directory formats can now be marked with
2175
``experimental = True`` during registration. (Ian Clatworthy)
2176
2177
DOCUMENTATION:
2178
2179
* New *Bazaar in Five Minutes* guide. (Matthew Revell)
2180
2181
* The hooks reference documentation is now converted to html as expected.
2182
(Ian Clatworthy)
2183
2184
BUG FIXES:
2185
2186
* Connection error reporting for the smart server has been fixed to
2187
display a user friendly message instead of a traceback.
2188
(Ian Clatworthy, #115601)
2189
2190
* Make sure to use ``O_BINARY`` when opening files to check their
2191
sha1sum. (Alexander Belchenko, John Arbash Meinel, #153493)
2192
2193
* Fix a problem with Win32 handling of the executable bit.
2194
(John Arbash Meinel, #149113)
2195
2196
* ``bzr+ssh://`` and ``sftp://`` URLs that do not specify ports explicitly
2197
no longer assume that means port 22. This allows people using OpenSSH to
2198
override the default port in their ``~/.ssh/config`` if they wish. This
2199
fixes a bug introduced in bzr 0.91. (Andrew Bennetts, #146715)
2200
2201
* Commands reporting exceptions can now be profiled and still have their
2202
data correctly dumped to a file. For example, a ``bzr commit`` with
2203
no changes still reports the operation as pointless but doing so no
2204
longer throws away the profiling data if this command is run with
2205
``--lsprof-file callgrind.out.ci`` say. (Ian Clatworthy)
2206
2207
* Fallback to ftp when paramiko is not installed and sftp can't be used for
2208
``tests/commands`` so that the test suite is still usable without
2209
paramiko.
2210
(Vincent Ladeuil, #59150)
2211
2212
* Fix commit ordering in corner case. (Aaron Bentley, #94975)
2213
2214
* Fix long standing bug in partial commit when there are renames
2215
left in tree. (Robert Collins, #140419)
2216
2217
* Fix selftest semi-random noise during http related tests.
2218
(Vincent Ladeuil, #140614)
2219
2220
* Fix typo in ftp.py making the reconnection fail on temporary errors.
2221
(Vincent Ladeuil, #154259)
2222
2223
* Fix failing test by comparing real paths to cover the case where the TMPDIR
2224
contains a symbolic link.
2225
(Vincent Ladeuil, #141382).
2226
2227
* Fix log against smart server branches that don't support tags.
2228
(James Westby, #140615)
2229
2230
* Fix pycurl http implementation by defining error codes from
2231
pycurl instead of relying on an old curl definition.
2232
(Vincent Ladeuil, #147530)
2233
2234
* Fix 'unprintable error' message when displaying BzrCheckError and
2235
some other exceptions on Python 2.5.
2236
(Martin Pool, #144633)
2237
2238
* Fix ``Inventory.copy()`` and add test for it. (Jelmer Vernooij)
2239
2240
* Handles default value for ListOption in cmd_commit.
2241
(Vincent Ladeuil, #140432)
2242
2243
* HttpServer and FtpServer need to be closed properly or a listening socket
2244
will remain opened.
2245
(Vincent Ladeuil, #140055)
2246
2247
* Monitor the .bzr directory created in the top level test
2248
directory to detect leaking tests.
2249
(Vincent Ladeuil, #147986)
2250
2251
* The basename, not the full path, is now used when checking whether
2252
the profiling dump file begins with ``callgrind.out`` or not. This
2253
fixes a bug reported by Aaron Bentley on IRC. (Ian Clatworthy)
2254
2255
* Trivial fix for invoking command ``reconfigure`` without arguments.
2256
(Rob Weir, #141629)
2257
2258
* ``WorkingTree.rename_one`` will now raise an error if normalisation of the
2259
new path causes bzr to be unable to access the file. (Robert Collins)
2260
2261
* Correctly detect a NoSuchFile when using a filezilla server. (Gary van der
2262
Merwe)
2263
2264
API BREAKS:
2265
2266
* ``bzrlib.index.GraphIndex`` now requires a size parameter to the
2267
constructor, for enabling bisection searches. (Robert Collins)
2268
2269
* ``CommitBuilder.record_entry_contents`` now requires the root entry of a
2270
tree be supplied to it, previously failing to do so would trigger a
2271
deprecation warning. (Robert Collins)
2272
2273
* ``KnitVersionedFile.add*`` will no longer cache added records even when
2274
enable_cache() has been called - the caching feature is now exclusively for
2275
reading existing data. (Robert Collins)
2276
2277
* ``ReadOnlyLockError`` is deprecated; ``LockFailed`` is usually more
2278
appropriate. (Martin Pool)
2279
2280
* Removed ``bzrlib.transport.TransportLogger`` - please see the new
2281
``trace+`` transport instead. (Robert Collins)
2282
2283
* Removed previously deprecated varargs interface to ``TestCase.run_bzr`` and
2284
deprecated methods ``TestCase.capture`` and ``TestCase.run_bzr_captured``.
2285
(Martin Pool)
2286
2287
* Removed previous deprecated ``basis_knit`` parameter to the
2288
``KnitVersionedFile`` constructor. (Robert Collins)
2289
2290
* Special purpose method ``TestCase.run_bzr_decode`` is moved to the test_non_ascii
2291
class that needs it.
2292
(Martin Pool)
2293
2294
* The class ``bzrlib.repofmt.knitrepo.KnitRepository3`` has been folded into
2295
``KnitRepository`` by parameters to the constructor. (Robert Collins)
2296
2297
* The ``VersionedFile`` interface now allows content checks to be bypassed
2298
by supplying check_content=False. This saves nearly 30% of the minimum
2299
cost to store a version of a file. (Robert Collins)
2300
2301
* Tree's with bad state such as files with no length or sha will no longer
2302
be silently accepted by the repository XML serialiser. To serialise
2303
inventories without such data, pass working=True to write_inventory.
2304
(Robert Collins)
2305
2306
* ``VersionedFile.fix_parents`` has been removed as a harmful API.
2307
``VersionedFile.join`` will no longer accept different parents on either
2308
side of a join - it will either ignore them, or error, depending on the
2309
implementation. See notes when upgrading for more information.
2310
(Robert Collins)
2311
2312
INTERNALS:
2313
2314
* ``bzrlib.transport.Transport.put_file`` now returns the number of bytes
2315
put by the method call, to allow avoiding stat-after-write or
2316
housekeeping in callers. (Robert Collins)
2317
2318
* ``bzrlib.xml_serializer.Serializer`` is now responsible for checking that
2319
mandatory attributes are present on serialisation and deserialisation.
2320
This fixes some holes in API usage and allows better separation between
2321
physical storage and object serialisation. (Robert Collins)
2322
2323
* New class ``bzrlib.errors.InternalBzrError`` which is just a convenient
2324
shorthand for deriving from BzrError and setting internal_error = True.
2325
(Robert Collins)
2326
2327
* New method ``bzrlib.mutabletree.update_to_one_parent_via_delta`` for
2328
moving the state of a parent tree to a new version via a delta rather than
2329
a complete replacement tree. (Robert Collins)
2330
2331
* New method ``bzrlib.osutils.minimum_path_selection`` useful for removing
2332
duplication from user input, when a user mentions both a path and an item
2333
contained within that path. (Robert Collins)
2334
2335
* New method ``bzrlib.repository.Repository.is_write_locked`` useful for
2336
determining if a repository is write locked. (Robert Collins)
2337
2338
* New method on ``bzrlib.tree.Tree`` ``path_content_summary`` provides a
2339
tuple containing the key information about a path for commit processing
2340
to complete. (Robert Collins)
2341
2342
* New method on xml serialisers, write_inventory_to_lines, which matches the
2343
API used by knits for adding content. (Robert Collins)
2344
2345
* New module ``bzrlib.bisect_multi`` with generic multiple-bisection-at-once
2346
logic, currently only available for byte-based lookup
2347
(``bisect_multi_bytes``). (Robert Collins)
2348
2349
* New helper ``bzrlib.tuned_gzip.bytes_to_gzip`` which takes a byte string
2350
and returns a gzipped version of the same. This is used to avoid a bunch
2351
of api friction during adding of knit hunks. (Robert Collins)
2352
2353
* New parameter on ``bzrlib.transport.Transport.readv``
2354
``adjust_for_latency`` which changes readv from returning strictly the
2355
requested data to inserted return larger ranges and in forward read order
2356
to reduce the effect of network latency. (Robert Collins)
2357
2358
* New parameter yield_parents on ``Inventory.iter_entries_by_dir`` which
2359
causes the parents of a selected id to be returned recursively, so all the
2360
paths from the root down to each element of selected_file_ids are
2361
returned. (Robert Collins)
2362
2363
* Knit joining has been enhanced to support plain to annotated conversion
2364
and annotated to plain conversion. (Ian Clatworthy)
2365
2366
* The CommitBuilder method ``record_entry_contents`` now returns summary
2367
information about the effect of the commit on the repository. This tuple
2368
contains an inventory delta item if the entry changed from the basis, and a
2369
boolean indicating whether a new file graph node was recorded.
2370
(Robert Collins)
2371
2372
* The python path used in the Makefile can now be overridden.
2373
(Andrew Bennetts, Ian Clatworthy)
2374
2375
TESTING:
2376
2377
* New transport implementation ``trace+`` which is useful for testing,
2378
logging activity taken to its _activity attribute. (Robert Collins)
2379
2380
* When running bzr commands within the test suite, internal exceptions are
2381
not caught and reported in the usual way, but rather allowed to propagate
2382
up and be visible to the test suite. A new API ``run_bzr_catch_user_errors``
2383
makes this behavior available to other users.
2384
(Martin Pool)
2385
2386
* New method ``TestCase.call_catch_warnings`` for testing methods that
2387
raises a Python warning. (Martin Pool)
2388

2390
bzr 0.91 2007-09-26
2391
-------------------
2392
2393
BUG FIXES:
2394
2395
* Print a warning instead of aborting the ``python setup.py install``
2396
process if building of a C extension is not possible.
2397
(Lukáš Lalinský, Alexander Belchenko)
2398
2399
* Fix commit ordering in corner case (Aaron Bentley, #94975)
2400
2401
* Fix ''bzr info bzr://host/'' and other operations on ''bzr://' URLs with
2402
an implicit port. We were incorrectly raising PathNotChild due to
2403
inconsistent treatment of the ''_port'' attribute on the Transport object.
2404
(Andrew Bennetts, #133965)
2405
2406
* Make RemoteRepository.sprout cope gracefully with servers that don't
2407
support the ``Repository.tarball`` request.
2408
(Andrew Bennetts)
2409
2410
2411
bzr 0.91rc2 2007-09-11
2412
----------------------
2413
2414
* Replaced incorrect tarball for previous release; a debug statement was left
2415
in bzrlib/remote.py.
2416
2417
2418
bzr 0.91rc1 2007-09-11
2419
----------------------
2420
2421
CHANGES:
2422
2423
* The default branch and repository format has changed to
2424
``dirstate-tags``, so tag commands are active by default.
2425
This format is compatible with Bazaar 0.15 and later.
2426
This incidentally fixes bug #126141.
2427
(Martin Pool)
2428
2429
* ``--quiet`` or ``-q`` is no longer a global option. If present, it
2430
must now appear after the command name. Scripts doing things like
2431
``bzr -q missing`` need to be rewritten as ``bzr missing -q``.
2432
(Ian Clatworthy)
2433
2434
FEATURES:
2435
2436
* New option ``--author`` in ``bzr commit`` to specify the author of the
2437
change, if it's different from the committer. ``bzr log`` and
2438
``bzr annotate`` display the author instead of the committer.
2439
(Lukáš Lalinský)
2440
2441
* In addition to global options and command specific options, a set of
2442
standard options are now supported. Standard options are legal for
2443
all commands. The initial set of standard options are:
2444
2445
* ``--help`` or ``-h`` - display help message
2446
* ``--verbose`` or ``-v`` - display additional information
2447
* ``--quiet`` or ``-q`` - only output warnings and errors.
2448
2449
Unlike global options, standard options can be used in aliases and
2450
may have command-specific help. (Ian Clatworthy)
2451
2452
* Verbosity level processing has now been unified. If ``--verbose``
2453
or ``-v`` is specified on the command line multiple times, the
2454
verbosity level is made positive the first time then increased.
2455
If ``--quiet`` or ``-q`` is specified on the command line
2456
multiple times, the verbosity level is made negative the first
2457
time then decreased. To get the default verbosity level of zero,
2458
either specify none of the above , ``--no-verbose`` or ``--no-quiet``.
2459
Note that most commands currently ignore the magnitude of the
2460
verbosity level but do respect *quiet vs normal vs verbose* when
2461
generating output. (Ian Clatworthy)
2462
2463
* ``Branch.hooks`` now supports ``pre_commit`` hook. The hook's signature
2464
is documented in BranchHooks constructor. (Nam T. Nguyen, #102747)
2465
2466
* New ``Repository.stream_knit_data_for_revisions`` request added to the
2467
network protocol for greatly reduced roundtrips when retrieving a set of
2468
revisions. (Andrew Bennetts)
2469
2470
BUG FIXES:
2471
2472
* ``bzr plugins`` now lists the version number for each plugin in square
2473
brackets after the path. (Robert Collins, #125421)
2474
2475
* Pushing, pulling and branching branches with subtree references was not
2476
copying the subtree weave, preventing the file graph from being accessed
2477
and causing errors in commits in clones. (Robert Collins)
2478
2479
* Suppress warning "integer argument expected, got float" from Paramiko,
2480
which sometimes caused false test failures. (Martin Pool)
2481
2482
* Fix bug in bundle 4 that could cause attempts to write data to wrong
2483
versionedfile. (Aaron Bentley)
2484
2485
* Diffs generated using "diff -p" no longer break the patch parser.
2486
(Aaron Bentley)
2487
2488
* get_transport treats an empty possible_transports list the same as a non-
2489
empty one. (Aaron Bentley)
2490
2491
* patch verification for merge directives is reactivated, and works with
2492
CRLF and CR files. (Aaron Bentley)
2493
2494
* Accept ..\ as a path in revision specifiers. This fixes for example
2495
"-r branch:..\other-branch" on Windows. (Lukáš Lalinský)
2496
2497
* ``BZR_PLUGIN_PATH`` may now contain trailing slashes.
2498
(Blake Winton, #129299)
2499
2500
* man page no longer lists hidden options (#131667, Aaron Bentley)
2501
2502
* ``uncommit --help`` now explains the -r option adequately. (Daniel
2503
Watkins, #106726)
2504
2505
* Error messages are now better formatted with parameters (such as
2506
filenames) quoted when necessary. This avoids confusion when directory
2507
names ending in a '.' at the end of messages were confused with a
2508
full stop that may or not have been there. (Daniel Watkins, #129791)
2509
2510
* Fix ``status FILE -r X..Y``. (Lukáš Lalinský)
2511
2512
* If a particular command is an alias, ``help`` will show the alias
2513
instead of claiming there is no help for said alias. (Daniel Watkins,
2514
#133548)
2515
2516
* TreeTransform-based operations, like pull, merge, revert, and branch,
2517
now roll back if they encounter an error. (Aaron Bentley, #67699)
2518
2519
* ``bzr commit`` now exits cleanly if a character unsupported by the
2520
current encoding is used in the commit message. (Daniel Watkins,
2521
#116143)
2522
2523
* bzr send uses default values for ranges when only half of an elipsis
2524
is specified ("-r..5" or "-r5.."). (#61685, Aaron Bentley)
2525
2526
* Avoid trouble when Windows ssh calls itself 'plink' but no plink
2527
binary is present. (Martin Albisetti, #107155)
2528
2529
* ``bzr remove`` should remove clean subtrees. Now it will remove (without
2530
needing ``--force``) subtrees that contain no files with text changes or
2531
modified files. With ``--force`` it removes the subtree regardless of
2532
text changes or unknown files. Directories with renames in or out (but
2533
not changed otherwise) will now be removed without needing ``--force``.
2534
Unknown ignored files will be deleted without needing ``--force``.
2535
(Marius Kruger, #111665)
2536
2537
* When two plugins conflict, the source of both the losing and now the
2538
winning definition is shown. (Konstantin Mikhaylov, #5454)
2539
2540
* When committing to a branch, the location being committed to is
2541
displayed. (Daniel Watkins, #52479)
2542
2543
* ``bzr --version`` takes care about encoding of stdout, especially
2544
when output is redirected. (Alexander Belchenko, #131100)
2545
2546
* Prompt for an ftp password if none is provided.
2547
(Vincent Ladeuil, #137044)
2548
2549
* Reuse bound branch associated transport to avoid multiple
2550
connections.
2551
(Vincent Ladeuil, #128076, #131396)
2552
2553
* Overwrite conflicting tags by ``push`` and ``pull`` if the
2554
``--overwrite`` option is specified. (Lukáš Lalinský, #93947)
2555
2556
* In checkouts, tags are copied into the master branch when created,
2557
changed or deleted, and are copied into the checkout when it is
2558
updated. (Martin Pool, #93856, #93860)
2559
2560
* Print a warning instead of aborting the ``python setup.py install``
2561
process if building of a C extension is not possible.
2562
(Lukáš Lalinský, Alexander Belchenko)
2563
2564
IMPROVEMENTS:
2565
2566
* Add the option "--show-diff" to the commit command in order to display
2567
the diff during the commit log creation. (Goffredo Baroncelli)
2568
2569
* ``pull`` and ``merge`` are much faster at installing bundle format 4.
2570
(Aaron Bentley)
2571
2572
* ``pull -v`` no longer includes deltas, making it much faster.
2573
(Aaron Bentley)
2574
2575
* ``send`` now sends the directive as an attachment by default.
2576
(Aaron Bentley, Lukáš Lalinský, Alexander Belchenko)
2577
2578
* Documentation updates (Martin Albisetti)
2579
2580
* Help on debug flags is now included in ``help global-options``.
2581
(Daniel Watkins, #124853)
2582
2583
* Parameters passed on the command line are checked to ensure they are
2584
supported by the encoding in use. (Daniel Watkins)
2585
2586
* The compression used within the bzr repository has changed from zlib
2587
level 9 to the zlib default level. This improves commit performance with
2588
only a small increase in space used (and in some cases a reduction in
2589
space). (Robert Collins)
2590
2591
* Initial commit no longer SHAs files twice and now reuses the path
2592
rather than looking it up again, making it faster.
2593
(Ian Clatworthy)
2594
2595
* New option ``-c``/``--change`` for ``diff`` and ``status`` to show
2596
changes in one revision. (Lukáš Lalinský)
2597
2598
* If versioned files match a given ignore pattern, a warning is now
2599
given. (Daniel Watkins, #48623)
2600
2601
* ``bzr status`` now has -S as a short name for --short and -V as a
2602
short name for --versioned. These have been added to assist users
2603
migrating from Subversion: ``bzr status -SV`` is now like
2604
``svn status -q``. (Daniel Watkins, #115990)
2605
2606
* Added C implementation of ``PatienceSequenceMatcher``, which is about
2607
10x faster than the Python version. This speeds up commands that
2608
need file diffing, such as ``bzr commit`` or ``bzr diff``.
2609
(Lukáš Lalinský)
2610
2611
* HACKING has been extended with a large section on core developer tasks.
2612
(Ian Clatworthy)
2613
2614
* Add ``branches`` and ``standalone-trees`` as online help topics and
2615
include them as Concepts within the User Reference.
2616
(Paul Moore, Ian Clatworthy)
2617
2618
* ``check`` can detect versionedfile parent references that are
2619
inconsistent with revision and inventory info, and ``reconcile`` can fix
2620
them. These faulty references were generated by 0.8-era releases,
2621
so repositories which were manipulated by old bzrs should be
2622
checked, and possibly reconciled ASAP. (Aaron Bentley, Andrew Bennetts)
2623
2624
API BREAKS:
2625
2626
* ``Branch.append_revision`` is removed altogether; please use
2627
``Branch.set_last_revision_info`` instead. (Martin Pool)
2628
2629
* CommitBuilder now advertises itself as requiring the root entry to be
2630
supplied. This only affects foreign repository implementations which reuse
2631
CommitBuilder directly and have changed record_entry_contents to require
2632
that the root not be supplied. This should be precisely zero plugins
2633
affected. (Robert Collins)
2634
2635
* The ``add_lines`` methods on ``VersionedFile`` implementations has changed
2636
its return value to include the sha1 and length of the inserted text. This
2637
allows the avoidance of double-sha1 calculations during commit.
2638
(Robert Collins)
2639
2640
* ``Transport.should_cache`` has been removed. It was not called in the
2641
previous release. (Martin Pool)
2642
2643
TESTING:
2644
2645
* Tests may now raise TestNotApplicable to indicate they shouldn't be
2646
run in a particular scenario. (Martin Pool)
2647
2648
* New function multiply_tests_from_modules to give a simpler interface
2649
to test parameterization. (Martin Pool, Robert Collins)
2650
2651
* ``Transport.should_cache`` has been removed. It was not called in the
2652
previous release. (Martin Pool)
2653
2654
* NULL_REVISION is returned to indicate the null revision, not None.
2655
(Aaron Bentley)
2656
2657
* Use UTF-8 encoded StringIO for log tests to avoid failures on
2658
non-ASCII committer names. (Lukáš Lalinský)
2659
2660
INTERNALS:
2661
2662
* ``bzrlib.plugin.all_plugins`` has been deprecated in favour of
2663
``bzrlib.plugin.plugins()`` which returns PlugIn objects that provide
2664
useful functionality for determining the path of a plugin, its tests, and
2665
its version information. (Robert Collins)
2666
2667
* Add the option user_encoding to the function 'show_diff_trees()'
2668
in order to move the user encoding at the UI level. (Goffredo Baroncelli)
2669
2670
* Add the function make_commit_message_template_encoded() and the function
2671
edit_commit_message_encoded() which handle encoded strings.
2672
This is done in order to mix the commit messages (which is a unicode
2673
string), and the diff which is a raw string. (Goffredo Baroncelli)
2674
2675
* CommitBuilder now defaults to using add_lines_with_ghosts, reducing
2676
overhead on non-weave repositories which don't require all parents to be
2677
present. (Robert Collins)
2678
2679
* Deprecated method ``find_previous_heads`` on
2680
``bzrlib.inventory.InventoryEntry``. This has been superseded by the use
2681
of ``parent_candidates`` and a separate heads check via the repository
2682
API. (Robert Collins)
2683
2684
* New trace function ``mutter_callsite`` will print out a subset of the
2685
stack to the log, which can be useful for gathering debug details.
2686
(Robert Collins)
2687
2688
* ``bzrlib.pack.ContainerWriter`` now tracks how many records have been
2689
added via a public attribute records_written. (Robert Collins)
2690
2691
* New method ``bzrlib.transport.Transport.get_recommended_page_size``.
2692
This provides a hint to users of transports as to the reasonable
2693
minimum data to read. In principle this can take latency and
2694
bandwidth into account on a per-connection basis, but for now it
2695
just has hard coded values based on the url. (e.g. http:// has a large
2696
page size, file:// has a small one.) (Robert Collins)
2697
2698
* New method on ``bzrlib.transport.Transport`` ``open_write_stream`` allows
2699
incremental addition of data to a file without requiring that all the
2700
data be buffered in memory. (Robert Collins)
2701
2702
* New methods on ``bzrlib.knit.KnitVersionedFile``:
2703
``get_data_stream(versions)``, ``insert_data_stream(stream)`` and
2704
``get_format_signature()``. These provide some infrastructure for
2705
efficiently streaming the knit data for a set of versions over the smart
2706
protocol.
2707
2708
* Knits with no annotation cache still produce correct annotations.
2709
(Aaron Bentley)
2710
2711
* Three new methods have been added to ``bzrlib.trace``:
2712
``set_verbosity_level``, ``get_verbosity_level`` and ``is_verbose``.
2713
``set_verbosity_level`` expects a numeric value: negative for quiet,
2714
zero for normal, positive for verbose. The size of the number can be
2715
used to determine just how quiet or verbose the application should be.
2716
The existing ``be_quiet`` and ``is_quiet`` routines have been
2717
integrated into this new scheme. (Ian Clatworthy)
2718
2719
* Options can now be delcared with a ``custom_callback`` parameter. If
2720
set, this routine is called after the option is processed. This feature
2721
is now used by the standard options ``verbose`` and ``quiet`` so that
2722
setting one implicitly resets the other. (Ian Clatworthy)
2723
2724
* Rather than declaring a new option from scratch in order to provide
2725
custom help, a centrally registered option can be decorated using the
2726
new ``bzrlib.Option.custom_help`` routine. In particular, this routine
2727
is useful when declaring better help for the ``verbose`` and ``quiet``
2728
standard options as the base definition of these is now more complex
2729
than before thanks to their use of a custom callback. (Ian Clatworthy)
2730
2731
* Tree._iter_changes(specific_file=[]) now iterates through no files,
2732
instead of iterating through all files. None is used to iterate through
2733
all files. (Aaron Bentley)
2734
2735
* WorkingTree.revert() now accepts None to revert all files. The use of
2736
[] to revert all files is deprecated. (Aaron Bentley)
2737
2738
2739
bzr 0.90 2007-08-28
2740
-------------------
2741
2742
IMPROVEMENTS:
2743
2744
* Documentation is now organized into multiple directories with a level
2745
added for different languages or locales. Added the Mini Tutorial
2746
and Quick Start Summary (en) documents from the Wiki, improving the
2747
content and readability of the former. Formatted NEWS as Release Notes
2748
complete with a Table of Conents, one heading per release. Moved the
2749
Developer Guide into the main document catalog and provided a link
2750
from the developer document catalog back to the main one.
2751
(Ian Clatworthy, Sabin Iacob, Alexander Belchenko)
2752
2753
2754
API CHANGES:
2755
2756
* The static convenience method ``BzrDir.create_repository``
2757
is deprecated. Callers should instead create a ``BzrDir`` instance
2758
and call ``create_repository`` on that. (Martin Pool)
2759

2761
bzr 0.90rc1 2007-08-14
2762
----------------------
2763
2764
BUGFIXES:
2765
2766
* ``bzr init`` should connect to the remote location one time only. We
2767
have been connecting several times because we forget to pass around the
2768
Transport object. This modifies ``BzrDir.create_branch_convenience``,
2769
so that we can give it the Transport we already have.
2770
(John Arbash Meinel, Vincent Ladeuil, #111702)
2771
2772
* Get rid of sftp connection cache (get rid of the FTP one too).
2773
(Vincent Ladeuil, #43731)
2774
2775
* bzr branch {local|remote} remote don't try to create a working tree
2776
anymore.
2777
(Vincent Ladeuil, #112173)
2778
2779
* All identified multiple connections for a single bzr command have been
2780
fixed. See bzrlib/tests/commands directory.
2781
(Vincent Ladeuil)
2782
2783
* ``bzr rm`` now does not insist on ``--force`` to delete files that
2784
have been renamed but not otherwise modified. (Marius Kruger,
2785
#111664)
2786
2787
* ``bzr selftest --bench`` no longer emits deprecation warnings
2788
(Lukáš Lalinský)
2789
2790
* ``bzr status`` now honours FILE parameters for conflict lists
2791
(Aaron Bentley, #127606)
2792
2793
* ``bzr checkout`` now honours -r when reconstituting a working tree.
2794
It also honours -r 0. (Aaron Bentley, #127708)
2795
2796
* ``bzr add *`` no more fails on Windows if working tree contains
2797
non-ascii file names. (Kuno Meyer, #127361)
2798
2799
* allow ``easy_install bzr`` runs without fatal errors.
2800
(Alexander Belchenko, #125521)
2801
2802
* Graph._filter_candidate_lca does not raise KeyError if a candidate
2803
is eliminated just before it would normally be examined. (Aaron Bentley)
2804
2805
* SMTP connection failures produce a nice message, not a traceback.
2806
(Aaron Bentley)
2807
2808
IMPROVEMENTS:
2809
2810
* Don't show "dots" progress indicators when run non-interactively, such
2811
as from cron. (Martin Pool)
2812
2813
* ``info`` now formats locations more nicely and lists "submit" and
2814
"public" branches (Aaron Bentley)
2815
2816
* New ``pack`` command that will trigger database compression within
2817
the repository (Robert Collins)
2818
2819
* Implement ``_KnitIndex._load_data`` in a pyrex extension. The pyrex
2820
version is approximately 2-3x faster at parsing a ``.kndx`` file.
2821
Which yields a measurable improvement for commands which have to
2822
read from the repository, such as a 1s => 0.75s improvement in
2823
``bzr diff`` when there are changes to be shown. (John Arbash Meinel)
2824
2825
* Merge is now faster. Depending on the scenario, it can be more than 2x
2826
faster. (Aaron Bentley)
2827
2828
* Give a clearer warning, and allow ``python setup.py install`` to
2829
succeed even if pyrex is not available.
2830
(John Arbash Meinel)
2831
2832
* ``DirState._read_dirblocks`` now has an optional Pyrex
2833
implementation. This improves the speed of any command that has to
2834
read the entire DirState. (``diff``, ``status``, etc, improve by
2835
about 10%).
2836
``bisect_dirblocks`` has also been improved, which helps all
2837
``_get_entry`` type calls (whenever we are searching for a
2838
particular entry in the in-memory DirState).
2839
(John Arbash Meinel)
2840
2841
* ``bzr pull`` and ``bzr push`` no longer do a complete walk of the
2842
branch revision history for ui display unless -v is supplied.
2843
(Robert Collins)
2844
2845
* ``bzr log -rA..B`` output shifted to the left margin if the log only
2846
contains merge revisions. (Kent Gibson)
2847
2848
* The ``plugins`` command is now public with improved help.
2849
(Ian Clatworthy)
2850
2851
* New bundle and merge directive formats are faster to generate, and
2852
2853
* Annotate merge now works when there are local changes. (Aaron Bentley)
2854
2855
* Commit now only shows the progress in terms of directories instead of
2856
entries. (Ian Clatworthy)
2857
2858
* Fix ``KnitRepository.get_revision_graph`` to not request the graph 2
2859
times. This makes ``get_revision_graph`` 2x faster. (John Arbash
2860
Meinel)
2861
2862
* Fix ``VersionedFile.get_graph()`` to avoid using
2863
``set.difference_update(other)``, which has bad scaling when
2864
``other`` is large. This improves ``VF.get_graph([version_id])`` for
2865
a 12.5k graph from 2.9s down to 200ms. (John Arbash Meinel)
2866
2867
* The ``--lsprof-file`` option now generates output for KCacheGrind if
2868
the file starts with ``callgrind.out``. This matches the default file
2869
filtering done by KCacheGrind's Open Dialog. (Ian Clatworthy)
2870
2871
* Fix ``bzr update`` to avoid an unnecessary
2872
``branch.get_master_branch`` call, which avoids 1 extra connection
2873
to the remote server. (Partial fix for #128076, John Arbash Meinel)
2874
2875
* Log errors from the smart server in the trace file, to make debugging
2876
test failures (and live failures!) easier. (Andrew Bennetts)
2877
2878
* The HTML version of the man page has been superceded by a more
2879
comprehensive manual called the Bazaar User Reference. This manual
2880
is completed generated from the online help topics. As part of this
2881
change, limited reStructuredText is now explicitly supported in help
2882
topics and command help with 'unnatural' markup being removed prior
2883
to display by the online help or inclusion in the man page.
2884
(Ian Clatworthy)
2885
2886
* HTML documentation now use files extension ``*.html``
2887
(Alexander Belchenko)
2888
2889
* The cache of ignore definitions is now cleared in WorkingTree.unlock()
2890
so that changes to .bzrignore aren't missed. (#129694, Daniel Watkins)
2891
2892
* ``bzr selftest --strict`` fails if there are any missing features or
2893
expected test failures. (Daniel Watkins, #111914)
2894
2895
* Link to registration survey added to README. (Ian Clatworthy)
2896
2897
* Windows standalone installer show link to registration survey
2898
when installation finished. (Alexander Belchenko)
2899
2900
LIBRARY API BREAKS:
2901
2902
* Deprecated dictionary ``bzrlib.option.SHORT_OPTIONS`` removed.
2903
Options are now required to provide a help string and it must
2904
comply with the style guide by being one or more sentences with an
2905
initial capital and final period. (Martin Pool)
2906
2907
* KnitIndex.get_parents now returns tuples. (Robert Collins)
2908
2909
* Ancient unused ``Repository.text_store`` attribute has been removed.
2910
(Robert Collins)
2911
2912
* The ``bzrlib.pack`` interface has changed to use tuples of bytestrings
2913
rather than just bytestrings, making it easier to represent multiple
2914
element names. As this interface was not used by any internal facilities
2915
since it was introduced in 0.18 no API compatibility is being preserved.
2916
The serialised form of these packs is identical with 0.18 when a single
2917
element tuple is in use. (Robert Collins)
2918
2919
INTERNALS:
2920
2921
* merge now uses ``iter_changes`` to calculate changes, which makes room for
2922
future performance increases. It is also more consistent with other
2923
operations that perform comparisons, and reduces reliance on
2924
Tree.inventory. (Aaron Bentley)
2925
2926
* Refactoring of transport classes connected to a remote server.
2927
ConnectedTransport is a new class that serves as a basis for all
2928
transports needing to connect to a remote server. transport.split_url
2929
have been deprecated, use the static method on the object instead. URL
2930
tests have been refactored too.
2931
(Vincent Ladeuil)
2932
2933
* Better connection sharing for ConnectedTransport objects.
2934
transport.get_transport() now accepts a 'possible_transports' parameter.
2935
If a newly requested transport can share a connection with one of the
2936
list, it will.
2937
(Vincent Ladeuil)
2938
2939
* Most functions now accept ``bzrlib.revision.NULL_REVISION`` to indicate
2940
the null revision, and consider using ``None`` for this purpose
2941
deprecated. (Aaron Bentley)
2942
2943
* New ``index`` module with abstract index functionality. This will be
2944
used during the planned changes in the repository layer. Currently the
2945
index layer provides a graph aware immutable index, a builder for the
2946
same index type to allow creating them, and finally a composer for
2947
such indices to allow the use of many indices in a single query. The
2948
index performance is not optimised, however the API is stable to allow
2949
development on top of the index. (Robert Collins)
2950
2951
* ``bzrlib.dirstate.cmp_by_dirs`` can be used to compare two paths by
2952
their directory sections. This is equivalent to comparing
2953
``path.split('/')``, only without having to split the paths.
2954
This has a Pyrex implementation available.
2955
(John Arbash Meinel)
2956
2957
* New transport decorator 'unlistable+' which disables the list_dir
2958
functionality for testing.
2959
2960
* Deprecated ``change_entry`` in transform.py. (Ian Clatworthy)
2961
2962
* RevisionTree.get_weave is now deprecated. Tree.plan_merge is now used
2963
for performing annotate-merge. (Aaron Bentley)
2964
2965
* New EmailMessage class to create email messages. (Adeodato Simó)
2966
2967
* Unused functions on the private interface KnitIndex have been removed.
2968
(Robert Collins)
2969
2970
* New ``knit.KnitGraphIndex`` which provides a ``KnitIndex`` layered on top
2971
of a ``index.GraphIndex``. (Robert Collins)
2972
2973
* New ``knit.KnitVersionedFile.iter_parents`` method that allows querying
2974
the parents of many knit nodes at once, reducing round trips to the
2975
underlying index. (Robert Collins)
2976
2977
* Graph now has an is_ancestor method, various bits use it.
2978
(Aaron Bentley)
2979
2980
* The ``-Dhpss`` flag now includes timing information. As well as
2981
logging when a new connection is opened. (John Arbash Meinel)
2982
2983
* ``bzrlib.pack.ContainerWriter`` now returns an offset, length tuple to
2984
callers when inserting data, allowing generation of readv style access
2985
during pack creation, without needing a separate pass across the output
2986
pack to gather such details. (Robert Collins)
2987
2988
* ``bzrlib.pack.make_readv_reader`` allows readv based access to pack
2989
files that are stored on a transport. (Robert Collins)
2990
2991
* New ``Repository.has_same_location`` method that reports if two
2992
repository objects refer to the same repository (although with some risk
2993
of false negatives). (Andrew Bennetts)
2994
2995
* InterTree.compare now passes require_versioned on correctly.
2996
(Marius Kruger)
2997
2998
* New methods on Repository - ``start_write_group``,
2999
``commit_write_group``, ``abort_write_group`` and ``is_in_write_group`` -
3000
which provide a clean hook point for transactional Repositories - ones
3001
where all the data for a fetch or commit needs to be made atomically
3002
available in one step. This allows the write lock to remain while making
3003
a series of data insertions. (e.g. data conversion). (Robert Collins)
3004
3005
* In ``bzrlib.knit`` the internal interface has been altered to use
3006
3-tuples (index, pos, length) rather than two-tuples (pos, length) to
3007
describe where data in a knit is, allowing knits to be split into
3008
many files. (Robert Collins)
3009
3010
* ``bzrlib.knit._KnitData`` split into cache management and physical access
3011
with two access classes - ``_PackAccess`` and ``_KnitAccess`` defined.
3012
The former provides access into a .pack file, and the latter provides the
3013
current production repository form of .knit files. (Robert Collins)
3014
3015
TESTING:
3016
3017
* Remove selftest ``--clean-output``, ``--numbered-dirs`` and
3018
``--keep-output`` options, which are obsolete now that tests
3019
are done within directories in $TMPDIR. (Martin Pool)
3020
3021
* The SSH_AUTH_SOCK environment variable is now reset to avoid
3022
interaction with any running ssh agents. (Jelmer Vernooij, #125955)
3023
3024
* run_bzr_subprocess handles parameters the same way as run_bzr:
3025
either a string or a list of strings should be passed as the first
3026
parameter. Varargs-style parameters are deprecated. (Aaron Bentley)

BUGFIXES:
3041
3042
* Do not suppress pipe errors, etc. in non-display commands
3043
(Alexander Belchenko, #87178)
3044
3045
* Display a useful error message when the user requests to annotate
3046
a file that is not present in the specified revision.
3047
(James Westby, #122656)
3048
3049
* Commands that use status flags now have a reference to 'help
3050
status-flags'. (Daniel Watkins, #113436)
3051
3052
* Work around python-2.4.1 inhability to correctly parse the
3053
authentication header.
3054
(Vincent Ladeuil, #121889)
3055
3056
* Use exact encoding for merge directives. (Adeodato Simó, #120591)
3057
3058
* Fix tempfile permissions error in smart server tar bundling under
3059
Windows. (Martin _, #119330)
3060
3061
* Fix detection of directory entries in the inventory. (James Westby)
3062
3063
* Fix handling of http code 400: Bad Request When issuing too many ranges.
3064
(Vincent Ladeuil, #115209)
3065
3066
* Issue a CONNECT request when connecting to an https server
3067
via a proxy to enable SSL tunneling.
3068
(Vincent Ladeuil, #120678)
3069
3070
* Fix ``bzr log -r`` to support selecting merge revisions, both
3071
individually and as part of revision ranges.
3072
(Kent Gibson, #4663)
3073
3074
* Don't leave cruft behind when failing to acquire a lockdir.
3075
(Martin Pool, #109169)
3076
3077
* Don't use the '-f' strace option during tests.
3078
(Vincent Ladeuil, #102019).
3079
3080
* Warn when setting ``push_location`` to a value that will be masked by
3081
locations.conf. (Aaron Bentley, #122286)
3082
3083
* Fix commit ordering in corner case (Aaron Bentley, #94975)
3084
3085
* Make annotate behave in a non-ASCII world (Adeodato Simó).
3086
3087
IMPROVEMENTS:
3088
3089
* The --lsprof-file option now dumps a text rendering of the profiling
3090
information if the filename ends in ".txt". It will also convert the
3091
profiling information to a format suitable for KCacheGrind if the
3092
output filename ends in ".callgrind". Fixes to the lsprofcalltree
3093
conversion process by Jean Paul Calderone and Itamar were also merged.
3094
See http://ddaa.net/blog/python/lsprof-calltree. (Ian Clatworthy)
3095
3096
* ``info`` now defaults to non-verbose mode, displaying only paths and
3097
abbreviated format info. ``info -v`` displays all the information
3098
formerly displayed by ``info``. (Aaron Bentley, Adeodato Simó)
3099
3100
* ``bzr missing`` now has better option names ``--this`` and ``--other``.
3101
(Elliot Murphy)
3102
3103
* The internal ``weave-list`` command has become ``versionedfile-list``,
3104
and now lists knits as well as weaves. (Aaron Bentley)
3105
3106
* Automatic merge base selection uses a faster algorithm that chooses
3107
better bases in criss-cross merge situations (Aaron Bentley)
3108
3109
* Progress reporting in ``commit`` has been improved. The various logical
3110
stages are now reported on as follows, namely:
3111
3112
* Collecting changes [Entry x/y] - Stage n/m
3113
* Saving data locally - Stage n/m
3114
* Uploading data to master branch - Stage n/m
3115
* Updating the working tree - Stage n/m
3116
* Running post commit hooks - Stage n/m
3117
3118
If there is no master branch, the 3rd stage is omitted and the total
3119
number of stages is adjusted accordingly.
3120
3121
Each hook that is run after commit is listed with a name (as hooks
3122
can be slow it is useful feedback).
3123
(Ian Clatworthy, Robert Collins)
3124
3125
* Various operations that are now faster due to avoiding unnecessary
3126
topological sorts. (Aaron Bentley)
3127
3128
* Make merge directives robust against broken bundles. (Aaron Bentley)
3129
3130
* The lsprof filename note is emitted via trace.note(), not standard
3131
output. (Aaron Bentley)
3132
3133
* ``bzrlib`` now exports explicit API compatibility information to assist
3134
library users and plugins. See the ``bzrlib.api`` module for details.
3135
(Robert Collins)
3136
3137
* Remove unnecessary lock probes when acquiring a lockdir.
3138
(Martin Pool)
3139
3140
* ``bzr --version`` now shows the location of the bzr log file, which
3141
is especially useful on Windows. (Martin Pool)
3142
3143
* -D now supports hooks to get debug tracing of hooks (though its currently
3144
minimal in nature). (Robert Collins)
3145
3146
* Long log format reports deltas on merge revisions.
3147
(John Arbash Meinel, Kent Gibson)
3148
3149
* Make initial push over ftp more resilient. (John Arbash Meinel)
3150
3151
* Print a summary of changes for update just like pull does.
3152
(Daniel Watkins, #113990)
3153
3154
* Add a -Dhpss option to trace smart protocol requests and responses.
3155
(Andrew Bennetts)
3156
3157
LIBRARY API BREAKS:
3158
3159
* Testing cleanups -
3160
``bzrlib.repository.RepositoryTestProviderAdapter`` has been moved
3161
to ``bzrlib.tests.repository_implementations``;
3162
``bzrlib.repository.InterRepositoryTestProviderAdapter`` has been moved
3163
to ``bzrlib.tests.interrepository_implementations``;
3164
``bzrlib.transport.TransportTestProviderAdapter`` has moved to
3165
``bzrlib.tests.test_transport_implementations``.
3166
``bzrlib.branch.BranchTestProviderAdapter`` has moved to
3167
``bzrlib.tests.branch_implementations``.
3168
``bzrlib.bzrdir.BzrDirTestProviderAdapter`` has moved to
3169
``bzrlib.tests.bzrdir_implementations``.
3170
``bzrlib.versionedfile.InterVersionedFileTestProviderAdapter`` has moved
3171
to ``bzrlib.tests.interversionedfile_implementations``.
3172
``bzrlib.store.revision.RevisionStoreTestProviderAdapter`` has moved to
3173
``bzrlib.tests.revisionstore_implementations``.
3174
``bzrlib.workingtree.WorkingTreeTestProviderAdapter`` has moved to
3175
``bzrlib.tests.workingtree_implementations``.
3176
These changes are an API break in the testing infrastructure only.
3177
(Robert Collins)
3178
3179
* Relocate TestCaseWithRepository to be more central. (Robert Collins)
3180
3181
* ``bzrlib.add.smart_add_tree`` will no longer perform glob expansion on
3182
win32. Callers of the function should do this and use the new
3183
``MutableTree.smart_add`` method instead. (Robert Collins)
3184
3185
* ``bzrlib.add.glob_expand_for_win32`` is now
3186
``bzrlib.win32utils.glob_expand``. (Robert Collins)
3187
3188
* ``bzrlib.add.FastPath`` is now private and moved to
3189
``bzrlib.mutabletree._FastPath``. (Robert Collins, Martin Pool)
3190
3191
* ``LockDir.wait`` removed. (Martin Pool)
3192
3193
* The ``SmartServer`` hooks API has changed for the ``server_started`` and
3194
``server_stopped`` hooks. The first parameter is now an iterable of
3195
backing URLs rather than a single URL. This is to reflect that many
3196
URLs may map to the external URL of the server. E.g. the server interally
3197
may have a chrooted URL but also the local file:// URL will be at the
3198
same location. (Robert Collins)
3199
3200
INTERNALS:
3201
3202
* New SMTPConnection class to unify email handling. (Adeodato Simó)
3203
3204
* Fix documentation of BzrError. (Adeodato Simó)
3205
3206
* Make BzrBadParameter an internal error. (Adeodato Simó)
3207
3208
* Remove use of 'assert False' to raise an exception unconditionally.
3209
(Martin Pool)
3210
3211
* Give a cleaner error when failing to decode knit index entry.
3212
(Martin Pool)
3213
3214
* TreeConfig would mistakenly search the top level when asked for options
3215
from a section. It now respects the section argument and only
3216
searches the specified section. (James Westby)
3217
3218
* Improve ``make api-docs`` output. (John Arbash Meinel)
3219
3220
* Use os.lstat rather than os.stat for osutils.make_readonly and
3221
osutils.make_writeable. This makes the difftools plugin more
3222
robust when dangling symlinks are found. (Elliot Murphy)
3223
3224
* New ``-Dlock`` option to log (to ~/.bzr.log) information on when
3225
lockdirs are taken or released. (Martin Pool)
3226
3227
* ``bzrlib`` Hooks are now nameable using ``Hooks.name_hook``. This
3228
allows a nicer UI when hooks are running as the current hook can
3229
be displayed. (Robert Collins)
3230
3231
* ``Transport.get`` has had its interface made more clear for ease of use.
3232
Retrieval of a directory must now fail with either 'PathError' at open
3233
time, or raise 'ReadError' on a read. (Robert Collins)
3234
3235
* New method ``_maybe_expand_globs`` on the ``Command`` class for
3236
dealing with unexpanded glob lists - e.g. on the win32 platform. This
3237
was moved from ``bzrlib.add._prepare_file_list``. (Robert Collins)
3238
3239
* ``bzrlib.add.smart_add`` and ``bzrlib.add.smart_add_tree`` are now
3240
deprecated in favour of ``MutableTree.smart_add``. (Robert Collins,
3241
Martin Pool)
3242
3243
* New method ``external_url`` on Transport for obtaining the url to
3244
hand to external processes. (Robert Collins)
3245
3246
* Teach windows installers to build pyrex/C extensions.
3247
(Alexander Belchenko)
3248
3249
TESTING:
3250
3251
* Removed the ``--keep-output`` option from selftest and clean up test
3252
directories as they're used. This reduces the IO load from
3253
running the test suite and cuts the time by about half.
3254
(Andrew Bennetts, Martin Pool)
3255
3256
* Add scenarios as a public attribute on the TestAdapter classes to allow
3257
modification of the generated scenarios before adaption and easier
3258
testing. (Robert Collins)
3259
3260
* New testing support class ``TestScenarioApplier`` which multiplies
3261
out a single teste by a list of supplied scenarios. (RobertCollins)
3262
3263
* Setting ``repository_to_test_repository`` on a repository_implementations
3264
test will cause it to be called during repository creation, allowing the
3265
testing of repository classes which are not based around the Format
3266
concept. For example a repository adapter can be tested in this manner,
3267
by altering the repository scenarios to include a scenario that sets this
3268
attribute during the test parameterisation in
3269
``bzrlib.tests.repository.repository_implementations``. (Robert Collins)
3270
3271
* Clean up many of the APIs for blackbox testing of Bazaar. The standard
3272
interface is now self.run_bzr. The command to run can be passed as
3273
either a list of parameters, a string containing the command line, or
3274
(deprecated) varargs parameters. (Martin Pool)
3275
3276
* The base TestCase now isolates tests from -D parameters by clearing
3277
``debug.debug_flags`` and restores it afterwards. (Robert Collins)
3278
3279
* Add a relpath parameter to get_transport methods in test framework to
3280
avoid useless cloning.

NOTES WHEN UPGRADING:
3300
3301
* The kind() and is_executable() APIs on the WorkingTree interface no
3302
longer implicitly (read) locks and unlocks the tree. This *might*
3303
impact some plug-ins and tools using this part of the API. If you find
3304
an issue that may be caused by this change, please let us know,
3305
particularly the plug-in/tool maintainer. If encountered, the API
3306
fix is to surround kind() and is_executable() calls with lock_read()
3307
and unlock() like so::
3308
3309
work_tree.lock_read()
3310
try:
3311
kind = work_tree.kind(...)
3312
finally:
3313
work_tree.unlock()
3314
3315
INTERNALS:
3316
* Rework of LogFormatter API to provide beginning/end of log hooks and to
3317
encapsulate the details of the revision to be logged in a LogRevision
3318
object.
3319
In long log formats, merge revision ids are only shown when --show-ids
3320
is specified, and are labelled "revision-id:", as per mainline
3321
revisions, instead of "merged:". (Kent Gibson)
3322
3323
* New ``BranchBuilder`` API which allows the construction of particular
3324
histories quickly. Useful for testing and potentially other applications
3325
too. (Robert Collins)
3326
3327
IMPROVEMENTS:
3328
3329
* There are two new help topics, working-trees and repositories that
3330
attempt to explain these concepts. (James Westby, John Arbash Meinel,
3331
Aaron Bentley)
3332
3333
* Added ``bzr log --limit`` to report a limited number of revisions.
3334
(Kent Gibson, #3659)
3335
3336
* Revert does not try to preserve file contents that were originally
3337
produced by reverting to a historical revision. (Aaron Bentley)
3338
3339
* ``bzr log --short`` now includes ``[merge]`` for revisions which
3340
have more than one parent. This is a small improvement to help
3341
understanding what changes have occurred
3342
(John Arbash Meinel, #83887)
3343
3344
* TreeTransform avoids many renames when contructing large trees,
3345
improving speed. 3.25x speedups have been observed for construction of
3346
kernel-sized-trees, and checkouts are 1.28x faster. (Aaron Bentley)
3347
3348
* Commit on large trees is now faster. In my environment, a commit of
3349
a small change to the Mozilla tree (55k files) has dropped from
3350
66 seconds to 32 seconds. For a small tree of 600 files, commit of a
3351
small change is 33% faster. (Ian Clatworthy)
3352
3353
* New --create-prefix option to bzr init, like for push. (Daniel Watkins,
3354
#56322)
3355
3356
BUGFIXES:
3357
3358
* ``bzr push`` should only connect to the remote location one time.
3359
We have been connecting 3 times because we forget to pass around
3360
the Transport object. This adds ``BzrDir.clone_on_transport()``, so
3361
that we can pass in the Transport that we already have.
3362
(John Arbash Meinel, #75721)
3363
3364
* ``DirState.set_state_from_inventory()`` needs to properly order
3365
based on split paths, not just string paths.
3366
(John Arbash Meinel, #115947)
3367
3368
* Let TestUIFactoy encode the password prompt with its own stdout.
3369
(Vincent Ladeuil, #110204)
3370
3371
* pycurl should take use the range header that takes the range hint
3372
into account.
3373
(Vincent Ladeuil, #112719)
3374
3375
* WorkingTree4.get_file_sha1 no longer raises an exception when invoked
3376
on a missing file. (Aaron Bentley, #118186)
3377
3378
* WorkingTree.remove works correctly with tree references, and when pwd is
3379
not the tree root. (Aaron Bentley)
3380
3381
* Merge no longer fails when a file is renamed in one tree and deleted
3382
in the other. (Aaron Bentley, #110279)
3383
3384
* ``revision-info`` now accepts dotted revnos, doesn't require a tree,
3385
and defaults to the last revision (Matthew Fuller, #90048)
3386
3387
* Tests no longer fail when BZR_REMOTE_PATH is set in the environment.
3388
(Daniel Watkins, #111958)
3389
3390
* ``bzr branch -r revid:foo`` can be used to branch any revision in
3391
your repository. (Previously Branch6 only supported revisions in your
3392
mainline). (John Arbash Meinel, #115343)

3395
--------------------
3396
3397
BUGFIXES:
3398
3399
* Handle when you have 2 directories with similar names, but one has a
3400
hyphen. (``'abc'`` versus ``'abc-2'``). The WT4._iter_changes
3401
iterator was using direct comparison and ``'abc/a'`` sorts after
3402
``'abc-2'``, but ``('abc', 'a')`` sorts before ``('abc-2',)``.
3403
(John Arbash Meinel, #111227)
3404
3405
* Handle when someone renames a file on disk without telling bzr.
3406
Previously we would report the first file as missing, but not show
3407
the new unknown file. (John Arbash Meinel, #111288)
3408
3409
* Avoid error when running hooks after pulling into or pushing from
3410
a branch bound to a smartserver branch. (Martin Pool, #111968)
3411
3412
IMPROVEMENTS:
3413
3414
* Move developer documentation to doc/developers/. This reduces clutter in
3415
the root of the source tree and allows HACKING to be split into multiple
3416
files. (Robert Collins, Alexander Belchenko)
3417
3418
* Clean up the ``WorkingTree4._iter_changes()`` internal loops as well as
3419
``DirState.update_entry()``. This optimizes the core logic for ``bzr
3420
diff`` and ``bzr status`` significantly improving the speed of
3421
both. (John Arbash Meinel)

-----------------------
3425
3426
BUGFIXES:
3427
3428
* Handle the case when you delete a file, and then rename another file
3429
on top of it. Also handle the case of ``bzr rm --keep foo``. ``bzr
3430
status`` should show the removed file and an unknown file in its
3431
place. (John Arbash Meinel, #109993)
3432
3433
* Bundles properly read and write revision properties that have an
3434
empty value. And when the value is not ASCII.
3435
(John Arbash Meinel, #109613)
3436
3437
* Fix the bzr commit message to be in text mode.
3438
(Alexander Belchenko, #110901)
3439
3440
* Also handle when you rename a file and create a file where it used
3441
to be. (John Arbash Meinel, #110256)
3442
3443
* ``WorkingTree4._iter_changes`` should not descend into unversioned
3444
directories. (John Arbash Meinel, #110399)

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

* Typo in the help for ``register-branch`` fixed. (Robert Collins, #96770)
3694
3695
* "dirstate" and "dirstate-tags" formats now produce branches compatible
3696
with old versions of bzr. (Aaron Bentley, #107168))
3697
3698
* Handle moving a directory when children have been added, removed,
3699
and renamed. (John Arbash Meinel, #105479)
3700
3701
* Don't preventively use basic authentication for proxy before receiving a
3702
407 error. Otherwise people willing to use other authentication schemes
3703
may expose their password in the clear (or nearly). This add one
3704
roundtrip in case basic authentication should be used, but plug the
3705
security hole.
3706
(Vincent Ladeuil)
3707
3708
* Handle http and proxy digest authentication.
3709
(Vincent Ladeuil, #94034).
3710
3711
TESTING:
3712
3713
* Added ``bzrlib.strace.strace`` which will strace a single callable and
3714
return a StraceResult object which contains just the syscalls involved
3715
in running it. (Robert Collins)
3716
3717
* New test method ``reduceLockdirTimeout`` to drop the default (ui-centric)
3718
default time down to one suitable for tests. (Andrew Bennetts)
3719
3720
* Add new ``vfs_transport_factory`` attribute on tests which provides the
3721
common vfs backing for both the readonly and readwrite transports.
3722
This allows the RemoteObject tests to back onto local disk or memory,
3723
and use the existing ``transport_server`` attribute all tests know about
3724
to be the smart server transport. This in turn allows tests to
3725
differentiate between 'transport to access the branch', and
3726
'transport which is a VFS' - which matters in Remote* tests.
3727
(Robert Collins, Andrew Bennetts)
3728
3729
* The ``make_branch_and_tree`` method for tests will now create a
3730
lightweight checkout for the tree if the ``vfs_transport_factory`` is not
3731
a LocalURLServer. (Robert Collins, Andrew Bennetts)
3732
3733
* Branch implementation tests have been audited to ensure that all urls
3734
passed to Branch APIs use proper urls, except when local-disk paths
3735
are intended. This is so that tests correctly access the test transport
3736
which is often not equivalent to local disk in Remote* tests. As part
3737
of this many tests were adjusted to remove dependencies on local disk
3738
access.
3739
(Robert Collins, Andrew Bennetts)
3740
3741
* Mark bzrlib.tests and bzrlib.tests.TestUtil as providing assertFOO helper
3742
functions by adding a ``__unittest`` global attribute. (Robert Collins,
3743
Andrew Bennetts, Martin Pool, Jonathan Lange)
3744
3745
* Refactored proxy and authentication handling to simplify the
3746
implementation of new auth schemes for both http and proxy.

(Aaron Bentley)
3756

-----------------------
3763
3764
CHANGES:
3765
3766
* A warning is now displayed when opening working trees in older
3767
formats, to encourage people to upgrade to WorkingTreeFormat4.
3768
(Martin Pool)
3769
3770
IMPROVEMENTS:
3771
3772
* HTTP redirections are now taken into account when a branch (or a
3773
bundle) is accessed for the first time. A message is issued at each
3774
redirection to inform the user. In the past, http redirections were
3775
silently followed for each request which significantly degraded the
3776
performances. The http redirections are not followed anymore by
3777
default, instead a RedirectRequested exception is raised. For bzrlib
3778
users needing to follow http redirections anyway,
3779
``bzrlib.transport.do_catching_redirections`` provide an easy transition
3780
path. (vila)
3781
3782
INTERNALS:
3783
3784
* Added ``ReadLock.temporary_write_lock()`` to allow upgrading an OS read
3785
lock to an OS write lock. Linux can do this without unlocking, Win32
3786
needs to unlock in between. (John Arbash Meinel)
3787
3788
* New parameter ``recommend_upgrade`` to ``BzrDir.open_workingtree``
3789
to silence (when false) warnings about opening old formats.
3790
(Martin Pool)
3791
3792
* Fix minor performance regression with bzr-0.15 on pre-dirstate
3793
trees. (We were reading the working inventory too many times).
3794
(John Arbash Meinel)
3795
3796
* Remove ``Branch.get_transaction()`` in favour of a simple cache of
3797
``revision_history``. Branch subclasses should override
3798
``_gen_revision_history`` rather than ``revision_history`` to make use of
3799
this cache, and call ``_clear_revision_history_cache`` and
3800
``_cache_revision_history`` at appropriate times. (Andrew Bennetts)
3801
3802
BUGFIXES:
3803
3804
* Take ``smtp_server`` from user config into account.
3805
(vila, #92195)
3806
3807
* Restore Unicode filename handling for versioned and unversioned files.
3808
(John Arbash Meinel, #92608)
3809
3810
* Don't fail during ``bzr commit`` if a file is marked removed, and
3811
the containing directory is auto-removed. (John Arbash Meinel, #93681)
3812
3813
* ``bzr status FILENAME`` failed on Windows because of an uncommon
3814
errno. (``ERROR_DIRECTORY == 267 != ENOTDIR``).
3815
(Wouter van Heyst, John Arbash Meinel, #90819)
3816
3817
* ``bzr checkout source`` should create a local branch in the same
3818
format as source. (John Arbash Meinel, #93854)
3819
3820
* ``bzr commit`` with a kind change was failing to update the
3821
last-changed-revision for directories. The
3822
InventoryDirectory._unchanged only looked at the ``parent_id`` and name,
3823
ignoring the fact that the kind could have changed, too.
3824
(John Arbash Meinel, #90111)
3825
3826
* ``bzr mv dir/subdir other`` was incorrectly updating files inside
3827
the directory. So that there was a chance it would break commit,
3828
etc. (John Arbash Meinel, #94037)
3829
3830
* Correctly handles mutiple permanent http redirections.

bzr 0.15rc2 2007-03-14
3834
-----------------------
3835
3836
NOTES WHEN UPGRADING:
3837
3838
* Release 0.15rc2 of bzr changes the ``bzr init-repo`` command to
3839
default to ``--trees`` instead of ``--no-trees``.
3840
Existing shared repositories are not affected.
3841
3842
IMPROVEMENTS:
3843
3844
* New ``merge-directive`` command to generate machine- and human-readable
3845
merge requests. (Aaron Bentley)
3846
3847
* New ``submit:`` revision specifier makes it easy to diff against the
3848
common ancestor with the submit location (Aaron Bentley)
3849
3850
* Added support for Putty's SSH implementation. (Dmitry Vasiliev)
3851
3852
* Added ``bzr status --versioned`` to report only versioned files,
3853
not unknowns. (Kent Gibson)
3854
3855
* Merge now autodetects the correct line-ending style for its conflict
3856
markers. (Aaron Bentley)
3857
3858
INTERNALS:
3859
3860
* Refactored SSH vendor registration into SSHVendorManager class.
3861
(Dmitry Vasiliev)
3862
3863
BUGFIXES:
3864
3865
* New ``--numbered-dirs`` option to ``bzr selftest`` to use
3866
numbered dirs for TestCaseInTempDir. This is default behavior
3867
on Windows. Anyone can force named dirs on Windows
3868
with ``--no-numbered-dirs``. (Alexander Belchenko)
3869
3870
* Fix ``RevisionSpec_revid`` to handle the Unicode strings passed in
3871
from the command line. (Marien Zwart, #90501)
3872
3873
* Fix ``TreeTransform._iter_changes`` when both the source and
3874
destination are missing. (Aaron Bentley, #88842)
3875
3876
* Fix commit of merges with symlinks in dirstate trees.
3877
(Marien Zwart)
3878
3879
* Switch the ``bzr init-repo`` default from --no-trees to --trees.
3880
(Wouter van Heyst, #53483)

3883
bzr 0.15rc1 2007-03-07
3884
-----------------------
3885
3886
SURPRISES:
3887
3888
* The default disk format has changed. Please run 'bzr upgrade' in your
3889
working trees to upgrade. This new default is compatible for network
3890
operations, but not for local operations. That is, if you have two
3891
versions of bzr installed locally, after upgrading you can only use the
3892
bzr 0.15 version. This new default does not enable tags or nested-trees
3893
as they are incompatible with bzr versions before 0.15 over the network.
3894
3895
* For users of bzrlib: Two major changes have been made to the working tree
3896
api in bzrlib. The first is that many methods and attributes, including
3897
the inventory attribute, are no longer valid for use until one of
3898
``lock_read``/``lock_write``/``lock_tree_write`` has been called,
3899
and become invalid again after unlock is called. This has been done
3900
to improve performance and correctness as part of the dirstate
3901
development.
3902
(Robert Collins, John A Meinel, Martin Pool, and others).
3903
3904
* For users of bzrlib: The attribute 'tree.inventory' should be considered
3905
readonly. Previously it was possible to directly alter this attribute, or
3906
its contents, and have the tree notice this. This has been made
3907
unsupported - it may work in some tree formats, but in the newer dirstate
3908
format such actions will have no effect and will be ignored, or even
3909
cause assertions. All operations possible can still be carried out by a
3910
combination of the tree API, and the bzrlib.transform API. (Robert
3911
Collins, John A Meinel, Martin Pool, and others).
3912
3913
IMPROVEMENTS:
3914
3915
* Support for OS Windows 98. Also .bzr.log on any windows system
3916
saved in My Documents folder. (Alexander Belchenko)
3917
3918
* ``bzr mv`` enhanced to support already moved files.
3919
In the past the mv command would have failed if the source file doesn't
3920
exist. In this situation ``bzr mv`` would now detect that the file has
3921
already moved and update the repository accordingly, if the target file
3922
does exist.
3923
A new option ``--after`` has been added so that if two files already
3924
exist, you could notify Bazaar that you have moved a (versioned) file
3925
and replaced it with another. Thus in this case ``bzr move --after``
3926
will only update the Bazaar identifier.
3927
(Steffen Eichenberg, Marius Kruger)
3928
3929
* ``ls`` now works on treeless branches and remote branches.
3930
(Aaron Bentley)
3931
3932
* ``bzr help global-options`` describes the global options.
3933
(Aaron Bentley)
3934
3935
* ``bzr pull --overwrite`` will now correctly overwrite checkouts.
3936
(Robert Collins)
3937
3938
* Files are now allowed to change kind (e.g. from file to symlink).
3939
Supported by ``commit``, ``revert`` and ``status``
3940
(Aaron Bentley)
3941
3942
* ``inventory`` and ``unknowns`` hidden in favour of ``ls``
3943
(Aaron Bentley)
3944
3945
* ``bzr help checkouts`` descibes what checkouts are and some possible
3946
uses of them. (James Westby, Aaron Bentley)
3947
3948
* A new ``-d`` option to push, pull and merge overrides the default
3949
directory. (Martin Pool)
3950
3951
* Branch format 6: smaller, and potentially faster than format 5. Supports
3952
``append_history_only`` mode, where the log view and revnos do not change,
3953
except by being added to. Stores policy settings in
3954
".bzr/branch/branch.conf".
3955
3956
* ``append_only`` branches: Format 6 branches may be configured so that log
3957
view and revnos are always consistent. Either create the branch using
3958
"bzr init --append-revisions-only" or edit the config file as descriped
3959
in docs/configuration.txt.
3960
3961
* rebind: Format 6 branches retain the last-used bind location, so if you
3962
"bzr unbind", you can "bzr bind" to bind to the previously-selected
3963
bind location.
3964
3965
* Builtin tags support, created and deleted by the ``tag`` command and
3966
stored in the branch. Tags can be accessed with the revisionspec
3967
``-rtag:``, and listed with ``bzr tags``. Tags are not versioned
3968
at present. Tags require a network incompatible upgrade. To perform this
3969
upgrade, run ``bzr upgrade --dirstate-tags`` in your branch and
3970
repositories. (Martin Pool)
3971
3972
* The ``bzr://`` transport now has a well-known port number, 4155,
3973
which it will use by default. (Andrew Bennetts, Martin Pool)
3974
3975
* Bazaar now looks for user-installed plugins before looking for site-wide
3976
plugins. (Jonathan Lange)
3977
3978
* ``bzr resolve`` now detects and marks resolved text conflicts.
3979
(Aaron Bentley)
3980
3981
INTERNALS:
3982
3983
* Internally revision ids and file ids are now passed around as utf-8
3984
bytestrings, rather than treating them as Unicode strings. This has
3985
performance benefits for Knits, since we no longer need to decode the
3986
revision id for each line of content, nor for each entry in the index.
3987
This will also help with the future dirstate format.
3988
(John Arbash Meinel)
3989
3990
* Reserved ids (any revision-id ending in a colon) are rejected by
3991
versionedfiles, repositories, branches, and working trees
3992
(Aaron Bentley)
3993
3994
* Minor performance improvement by not creating a ProgressBar for
3995
every KnitIndex we create. (about 90ms for a bzr.dev tree)
3996
(John Arbash Meinel)
3997
3998
* New easier to use Branch hooks facility. There are five initial hooks,
3999
all documented in bzrlib.branch.BranchHooks.__init__ - ``'set_rh'``,
4000
``'post_push'``, ``'post_pull'``, ``'post_commit'``,
4001
``'post_uncommit'``. These hooks fire after the matching operation
4002
on a branch has taken place, and were originally added for the
4003
branchrss plugin. (Robert Collins)
4004
4005
* New method ``Branch.push()`` which should be used when pushing from a
4006
branch as it makes performance and policy decisions to match the UI
4007
level command ``push``. (Robert Collins).
4008
4009
* Add a new method ``Tree.revision_tree`` which allows access to cached
4010
trees for arbitrary revisions. This allows the in development dirstate
4011
tree format to provide access to the callers to cached copies of
4012
inventory data which are cheaper to access than inventories from the
4013
repository.
4014
(Robert Collins, Martin Pool)
4015
4016
* New ``Branch.last_revision_info`` method, this is being done to allow
4017
optimization of requests for both the number of revisions and the last
4018
revision of a branch with smartservers and potentially future branch
4019
formats. (Wouter van Heyst, Robert Collins)
4020
4021
* Allow ``'import bzrlib.plugins.NAME'`` to work when the plugin NAME has not
4022
yet been loaded by ``load_plugins()``. This allows plugins to depend on each
4023
other for code reuse without requiring users to perform file-renaming
4024
gymnastics. (Robert Collins)
4025
4026
* New Repository method ``'gather_stats'`` for statistic data collection.
4027
This is expected to grow to cover a number of related uses mainly
4028
related to bzr info. (Robert Collins)
4029
4030
* Log formatters are now managed with a registry.
4031
``log.register_formatter`` continues to work, but callers accessing
4032
the FORMATTERS dictionary directly will not.
4033
4034
* Allow a start message to be passed to the ``edit_commit_message``
4035
function. This will be placed in the message offered to the user
4036
for editing above the separator. It allows a template commit message
4037
to be used more easily. (James Westby)
4038
4039
* ``GPGStrategy.sign()`` will now raise ``BzrBadParameterUnicode`` if
4040
you pass a Unicode string rather than an 8-bit string. Callers need
4041
to be updated to encode first. (John Arbash Meinel)
4042
4043
* Branch.push, pull, merge now return Result objects with information
4044
about what happened, rather than a scattering of various methods. These
4045
are also passed to the post hooks. (Martin Pool)
4046
4047
* File formats and architecture is in place for managing a forest of trees
4048
in bzr, and splitting up existing trees into smaller subtrees, and
4049
finally joining trees to make a larger tree. This is the first iteration
4050
of this support, and the user-facing aspects still require substantial
4051
work. If you wish to experiment with it, use ``bzr upgrade
4052
--dirstate-with-subtree`` in your working trees and repositories.
4053
You can use the hidden commands ``split`` and ``join`` and to create
4054
and manipulate nested trees, but please consider using the nested-trees
4055
branch, which contains substantial UI improvements, instead.
4056
http://code.aaronbentley.com/bzr/bzrrepo/nested-trees/
4057
(Aaron Bentley, Martin Pool, Robert Collins).
4058
4059
BUGFIXES:
4060
4061
* ``bzr annotate`` now uses dotted revnos from the viewpoint of the
4062
branch, rather than the last changed revision of the file.
4063
(John Arbash Meinel, #82158)
4064
4065
* Lock operations no longer hang if they encounter a permission problem.
4066
(Aaron Bentley)
4067
4068
* ``bzr push`` can resume a push that was canceled before it finished.
4069
Also, it can push even if the target directory exists if you supply
4070
the ``--use-existing-dir`` flag.
4071
(John Arbash Meinel, #30576, #45504)
4072
4073
* Fix http proxy authentication when user and an optional
4074
password appears in the ``*_proxy`` vars. (Vincent Ladeuil,
4075
#83954).
4076
4077
* ``bzr log branch/file`` works for local treeless branches
4078
(Aaron Bentley, #84247)
4079
4080
* Fix problem with UNC paths on Windows 98. (Alexander Belchenko, #84728)
4081
4082
* Searching location of CA bundle for PyCurl in env variable
4083
(``CURL_CA_BUNDLE``), and on win32 along the PATH.
4084
(Alexander Belchenko, #82086)
4085
4086
* ``bzr init`` works with unicode argument LOCATION.
4087
(Alexander Belchenko, #85599)
4088
4089
* Raise ``DependencyNotPresent`` if pycurl do not support https.
4090
(Vincent Ladeuil, #85305)
4091
4092
* Invalid proxy env variables should not cause a traceback.
4093
(Vincent Ladeuil, #87765)
4094
4095
* Ignore patterns normalised to use '/' path separator.
4096
(Kent Gibson, #86451)
4097
4098
* bzr rocks. It sure does! Fix case. (Vincent Ladeuil, #78026)
4099
4100
* Fix bzrtools shelve command for removed lines beginning with "--"
4101
(Johan Dahlberg, #75577)
4102
4103
TESTING:
4104
4105
* New ``--first`` option to ``bzr selftest`` to run specified tests
4106
before the rest of the suite. (Martin Pool)

* ``bzr help global-options`` describes the global options. (Aaron Bentley)
4115
4116
BUG FIXES:
4117
4118
* Skip documentation generation tests if the tools to do so are not
4119
available. Fixes running selftest for installled copies of bzr.
4120
(John Arbash Meinel, #80330)
4121
4122
* Fix the code that discovers whether bzr is being run from it's
4123
working tree to handle the case when it isn't but the directory
4124
it is in is below a repository. (James Westby, #77306)

bzr 0.14rc1 2007-01-16
4128
-----------------------
4129
4130
IMPROVEMENTS:
4131
4132
* New connection: ``bzr+http://`` which supports tunnelling the smart
4133
protocol over an HTTP connection. If writing is enabled on the bzr
4134
server, then you can write over the http connection.
4135
(Andrew Bennetts, John Arbash Meinel)
4136
4137
* Aliases now support quotation marks, so they can contain whitespace
4138
(Marius Kruger)
4139
4140
* PyCurlTransport now use a single curl object. By specifying explicitly
4141
the 'Range' header, we avoid the need to use two different curl objects
4142
(and two connections to the same server). (Vincent Ladeuil)
4143
4144
* ``bzr commit`` does not prompt for a message until it is very likely to
4145
succeed. (Aaron Bentley)
4146
4147
* ``bzr conflicts`` now takes --text to list pathnames of text conflicts
4148
(Aaron Bentley)
4149
4150
* Fix ``iter_lines_added_or_present_in_versions`` to use a set instead
4151
of a list while checking if a revision id was requested. Takes 10s
4152
off of the ``fileids_affected_by_revision_ids`` time, which is 10s
4153
of the ``bzr branch`` time. Also improve ``fileids_...`` time by
4154
filtering lines with a regex rather than multiple ``str.find()``
4155
calls. (saves another 300ms) (John Arbash Meinel)
4156
4157
* Policy can be set for each configuration key. This allows keys to be
4158
inherited properly across configuration entries. For example, this
4159
should enable you to do::
4160
4161
[/home/user/project]
4162
push_location = sftp://host/srv/project/
4163
push_location:policy = appendpath
4164
4165
And then a branch like ``/home/user/project/mybranch`` should get an
4166
automatic push location of ``sftp://host/srv/project/mybranch``.
4167
(James Henstridge)
4168
4169
* Added ``bzr status --short`` to make status report svn style flags
4170
for each file. For example::
4171
4172
$ bzr status --short
4173
A foo
4174
A bar
4175
D baz
4176
? wooley
4177
4178
* 'bzr selftest --clean-output' allows easily clean temporary tests
4179
directories without running tests. (Alexander Belchenko)
4180
4181
* ``bzr help hidden-commands`` lists all hidden commands. (Aaron Bentley)
4182
4183
* ``bzr merge`` now has an option ``--pull`` to fall back to pull if
4184
local is fully merged into remote. (Jan Hudec)
4185
4186
* ``bzr help formats`` describes available directory formats. (Aaron Bentley)
4187
4188
INTERNALS:
4189
4190
* A few tweaks directly to ``fileids_affected_by_revision_ids`` to
4191
help speed up processing, as well allowing to extract unannotated
4192
lines. Between the two ``fileids_affected_by_revision_ids`` is
4193
improved by approx 10%. (John Arbash Meinel)
4194
4195
* Change Revision serialization to only write out millisecond
4196
resolution. Rather than expecting floating point serialization to
4197
preserve more resolution than we need. (Henri Weichers, Martin Pool)
4198
4199
* Test suite ends cleanly on Windows. (Vincent Ladeuil)
4200
4201
* When ``encoding_type`` attribute of class Command is equal to 'exact',
4202
force sys.stdout to be a binary stream on Windows, and therefore
4203
keep exact line-endings (without LF -> CRLF conversion).
4204
(Alexander Belchenko)
4205
4206
* Single-letter short options are no longer globally declared. (Martin
4207
Pool)
4208
4209
* Before using detected user/terminal encoding bzr should check
4210
that Python has corresponding codec. (Alexander Belchenko)
4211
4212
* Formats for end-user selection are provided via a FormatRegistry (Aaron Bentley)
4213
4214
BUG FIXES:
4215
4216
* ``bzr missing --verbose`` was showing adds/removals in the wrong
4217
direction. (John Arbash Meinel)
4218
4219
* ``bzr annotate`` now defaults to showing dotted revnos for merged
4220
revisions. It cuts them off at a depth of 12 characters, but you can
4221
supply ``--long`` to see the full number. You can also use
4222
``--show-ids`` to display the original revision ids, rather than
4223
revision numbers and committer names. (John Arbash Meinel, #75637)
4224
4225
* bzr now supports Win32 UNC path (e.g. ``\HOST\path``.
4226
(Alexander Belchenko, #57869)
4227
4228
* Win32-specific: output of cat, bundle and diff commands don't mangle
4229
line-endings (Alexander Belchenko, #55276)
4230
4231
* Replace broken fnmatch based ignore pattern matching with custom pattern
4232
matcher.
4233
(Kent Gibson, Jan Hudec #57637)
4234
4235
* pycurl and urllib can detect short reads at different places. Update
4236
the test suite to test more cases. Also detect http error code 416
4237
which was raised for that specific bug. Also enhance the urllib
4238
robustness by detecting invalid ranges (and pycurl's one by detecting
4239
short reads during the initial GET). (Vincent Ladeuil, #73948)
4240
4241
* The urllib connection sharing interacts badly with urllib2
4242
proxy setting (the connections didn't go thru the proxy
4243
anymore). Defining a proper ProxyHandler solves the
4244
problem. (Vincent Ladeuil, #74759)
4245
4246
* Use urlutils to generate relative URLs, not osutils
4247
(Aaron Bentley, #76229)
4248
4249
* ``bzr status`` in a readonly directory should work without giving
4250
lots of errors. (John Arbash Meinel, #76299)
4251
4252
* Mention the revisionspec topic for the revision option help.
4253
(Wouter van Heyst, #31663)
4254
4255
* Allow plugins import from zip archives.

4267
IMPROVEMENTS:
4268
4269
* New command ``bzr remove-tree`` allows the removal of the working
4270
tree from a branch.
4271
(Daniel Silverstone)
4272
4273
* urllib uses shared keep-alive connections, so http
4274
operations are substantially faster.
4275
(Vincent Ladeuil, #53654)
4276
4277
* ``bzr export`` allows an optional branch parameter, to export a bzr
4278
tree from some other url. For example:
4279
``bzr export bzr.tar.gz http://bazaar-vcs.org/bzr/bzr.dev``
4280
(Daniel Silverstone)
4281
4282
* Added ``bzr help topics`` to the bzr help system. This gives a
4283
location for general information, outside of a specific command.
4284
This includes updates for ``bzr help revisionspec`` the first topic
4285
included. (Goffredo Baroncelli, John Arbash Meinel, #42714)
4286
4287
* WSGI-compatible HTTP smart server. See ``doc/http_smart_server.txt``.
4288
(Andrew Bennetts)
4289
4290
* Knit files will now cache full texts only when the size of the
4291
deltas is as large as the size of the fulltext. (Or after 200
4292
deltas, whichever comes first). This has the most benefit on large
4293
files with small changes, such as the inventory for a large project.
4294
(eg For a project with 2500 files, and 7500 revisions, it changes
4295
the size of inventory.knit from 11MB to 5.4MB) (John Arbash Meinel)
4296
4297
INTERNALS:
4298
4299
* New -D option given before the command line turns on debugging output
4300
for particular areas. -Derror shows tracebacks on all errors.
4301
(Martin Pool)
4302
4303
* Clean up ``bzr selftest --benchmark bundle`` to correct an import,
4304
and remove benchmarks that take longer than 10min to run.
4305
(John Arbash Meinel)
4306
4307
* Use ``time.time()`` instead of ``time.clock()`` to decide on
4308
progress throttling. Because ``time.clock()`` is actually CPU time,
4309
so over a high-latency connection, too many updates get throttled.
4310
(John Arbash Meinel)
4311
4312
* ``MemoryTransport.list_dir()`` would strip the first character for
4313
files or directories in root directory. (John Arbash Meinel)
4314
4315
* New method ``get_branch_reference`` on 'BzrDir' allows the detection of
4316
branch references - which the smart server component needs.
4317
4318
* New ``ChrootTransportDecorator``, accessible via the ``chroot+`` url
4319
prefix. It disallows any access to locations above a set URL. (Andrew
4320
Bennetts)
4321
4322
BUG FIXES:
4323
4324
* Now ``_KnitIndex`` properly decode revision ids when loading index data.
4325
And optimize the knit index parsing code.
4326
(Dmitry Vasiliev, John Arbash Meinel)
4327
4328
* ``bzrlib/bzrdir.py`` was directly referencing ``bzrlib.workingtree``,
4329
without importing it. This prevented ``bzr upgrade`` from working
4330
unless a plugin already imported ``bzrlib.workingtree``
4331
(John Arbash Meinel, #70716)
4332
4333
* Suppress the traceback on invalid URLs (Vincent Ladeuil, #70803).
4334
4335
* Give nicer error message when an http server returns a 403
4336
error code. (Vincent Ladeuil, #57644).
4337
4338
* When a multi-range http GET request fails, try a single
4339
range one. If it fails too, forget about ranges. Remember that until
4340
the death of the transport and propagates that to the clones.
4341
(Vincent Ladeuil, #62276, #62029).
4342
4343
* Handles user/passwords supplied in url from command
4344
line (for the urllib implementation). Don't request already
4345
known passwords (Vincent Ladeuil, #42383, #44647, #48527)
4346
4347
* ``_KnitIndex.add_versions()`` dictionary compresses revision ids as they
4348
are added. This fixes bug where fetching remote revisions records
4349
them as full references rather than integers.
4350
(John Arbash Meinel, #64789)
4351
4352
* ``bzr ignore`` strips trailing slashes in patterns.
4353
Also ``bzr ignore`` rejects absolute paths. (Kent Gibson, #4559)
4354
4355
* ``bzr ignore`` takes multiple arguments. (Cheuksan Edward Wang, #29488)
4356
4357
* mv correctly handles paths that traverse symlinks.
4358
(Aaron Bentley, #66964)
4359
4360
* Give nicer looking error messages when failing to connect over ssh.
4361
(John Arbash Meinel, #49172)
4362
4363
* Pushing to a remote branch does not currently update the remote working
4364
tree. After a remote push, ``bzr status`` and ``bzr diff`` on the remote
4365
machine now show that the working tree is out of date.
4366
(Cheuksan Edward Wang #48136)
4367
4368
* Use patiencediff instead of difflib for determining deltas to insert
4369
into knits. This avoids the O(N^3) behavior of difflib. Patience
4370
diff should be O(N^2). (Cheuksan Edward Wang, #65714)
4371
4372
* Running ``bzr log`` on nonexistent file gives an error instead of the
4373
entire log history. (Cheuksan Edward Wang #50793)
4374
4375
* ``bzr cat`` can look up contents of removed or renamed files. If the
4376
pathname is ambiguous, i.e. the files in the old and new trees have
4377
different id's, the default is the file in the new tree. The user can
4378
use "--name-from-revision" to select the file in the old tree.
4379
(Cheuksan Edward Wang, #30190)
4380
4381
TESTING:
4382
4383
* TestingHTTPRequestHandler really handles the Range header
4384
(previously it was ignoring it and returning the whole file,).

4387
--------------------
4388
4389
INTERNALS:
4390
4391
* Clean up ``bzr selftest --benchmark bundle`` to correct an import,
4392
and remove benchmarks that take longer than 10min to run.
4393
(John Arbash Meinel)
4394
4395
bzr 0.12rc1 2006-10-23
4396
-----------------------
4397
4398
IMPROVEMENTS:
4399
4400
* ``bzr log`` now shows dotted-decimal revision numbers for all revisions,
4401
rather than just showing a decimal revision number for revisions on the
4402
mainline. These revision numbers are not yet accepted as input into bzr
4403
commands such as log, diff etc. (Robert Collins)
4404
4405
* revisions can now be specified using dotted-decimal revision numbers.
4406
For instance, ``bzr diff -r 1.2.1..1.2.3``. (Robert Collins)
4407
4408
* ``bzr help commands`` output is now shorter (Aaron Bentley)
4409
4410
* ``bzr`` now uses lazy importing to reduce the startup time. This has
4411
a moderate effect on lots of actions, especially ones that have
4412
little to do. For example ``bzr rocks`` time is down to 116ms from
4413
283ms. (John Arbash Meinel)
4414
4415
* New Registry class to provide name-to-object registry-like support,
4416
for example for schemes where plugins can register new classes to
4417
do certain tasks (e.g. log formatters). Also provides lazy registration
4418
to allow modules to be loaded on request.
4419
(John Arbash Meinel, Adeodato Simó)
4420
4421
API INCOMPATABILITY:
4422
4423
* LogFormatter subclasses show now expect the 'revno' parameter to
4424
show() to be a string rather than an int. (Robert Collins)
4425
4426
INTERNALS:
4427
4428
* ``TestCase.run_bzr``, ``run_bzr_captured``, and ``run_bzr_subprocess``
4429
can take a ``working_dir='foo'`` parameter, which will change directory
4430
for the command. (John Arbash Meinel)
4431
4432
* ``bzrlib.lazy_regex.lazy_compile`` can be used to create a proxy
4433
around a regex, which defers compilation until first use.
4434
(John Arbash Meinel)
4435
4436
* ``TestCase.run_bzr_subprocess`` defaults to supplying the
4437
``--no-plugins`` parameter to ensure test reproducability, and avoid
4438
problems with system-wide installed plugins. (John Arbash Meinel)
4439
4440
* Unique tree root ids are now supported. Newly created trees still
4441
use the common root id for compatibility with bzr versions before 0.12.
4442
(Aaron Bentley)
4443
4444
* ``WorkingTree.set_root_id(None)`` is now deprecated. Please
4445
pass in ``inventory.ROOT_ID`` if you want the default root id value.
4446
(Robert Collins, John Arbash Meinel)
4447
4448
* New method ``WorkingTree.flush()`` which will write the current memory
4449
inventory out to disk. At the same time, ``read_working_inventory`` will
4450
no longer trash the current tree inventory if it has been modified within
4451
the current lock, and the tree will now ``flush()`` automatically on
4452
``unlock()``. ``WorkingTree.set_root_id()`` has been updated to take
4453
advantage of this functionality. (Robert Collins, John Arbash Meinel)
4454
4455
* ``bzrlib.tsort.merge_sorted`` now accepts ``generate_revnos``. This
4456
parameter will cause it to add another column to its output, which
4457
contains the dotted-decimal revno for each revision, as a tuple.
4458
(Robert Collins)
4459
4460
* ``LogFormatter.show_merge`` is deprecated in favour of
4461
``LogFormatter.show_merge_revno``. (Robert Collins)
4462
4463
BUG FIXES:
4464
4465
* Avoid circular imports by creating a deprecated function for
4466
``bzrlib.tree.RevisionTree``. Callers should have been using
4467
``bzrlib.revisontree.RevisionTree`` anyway. (John Arbash Meinel,
4468
#63360, #66349)
4469
4470
* Don't use ``socket.MSG_WAITALL`` as it doesn't exist on all
4471
platforms. (Martin Pool, #66356)
4472
4473
* Don't require ``Content-Type`` in range responses. Assume they are a
4474
single range if ``Content-Type`` does not exist.
4475
(John Arbash Meinel, #62473)
4476
4477
* bzr branch/pull no longer complain about progress bar cleanup when
4478
interrupted during fetch. (Aaron Bentley, #54000)
4479
4480
* ``WorkingTree.set_parent_trees()`` uses the trees to directly write
4481
the basis inventory, rather than going through the repository. This
4482
allows us to have 1 inventory read, and 2 inventory writes when
4483
committing a new tree. (John Arbash Meinel)
4484
4485
* When reverting, files that are not locally modified that do not exist
4486
in the target are deleted, not just unversioned (Aaron Bentley)
4487
4488
* When trying to acquire a lock, don't fail immediately. Instead, try
4489
a few times (up to 1 hour) before timing out. Also, report why the
4490
lock is unavailable (John Arbash Meinel, #43521, #49556)
4491
4492
* Leave HttpTransportBase daughter classes decides how they
4493
implement cloning. (Vincent Ladeuil, #61606)
4494
4495
* diff3 does not indicate conflicts on clean merge. (Aaron Bentley)
4496
4497
* If a commit fails, the commit message is stored in a file at the root of
4498
the tree for later commit. (Cheuksan Edward Wang, Stefan Metzmacher,
4499
#32054)
4500
4501
TESTING:
4502
4503
* New test base class TestCaseWithMemoryTransport offers memory-only
4504
testing facilities: its not suitable for tests that need to mutate disk
4505
state, but most tests should not need that and should be converted to
4506
TestCaseWithMemoryTransport. (Robert Collins)
4507
4508
* ``TestCase.make_branch_and_memory_tree`` now takes a format
4509
option to set the BzrDir, Repository and Branch formats of the
4510
created objects. (Robert Collins, John Arbash Meinel)
4511
4512
bzr 0.11 2006-10-02

4522
* Test suite hangs on windows fixed. (Andrew Bennets, Alexander Belchenko).

4526
4527
bzr 0.11rc1 2006-09-25
4528
-----------------------
4529
4530
IMPROVEMENTS:
4531
4532
* Knit files now wait to create their contents until the first data is
4533
added. The old code used to create an empty .knit and a .kndx with just
4534
the header. However, this caused a lot of extra round trips over sftp.
4535
This can change the time for ``bzr push`` to create a new remote branch
4536
from 160s down to 100s. This also affects ``bzr commit`` performance when
4537
adding new files, ``bzr commit`` on a new kernel-like tree drops from 50s
4538
down to 40s (John Arbash Meinel, #44692)
4539
4540
* When an entire subtree has been deleted, commit will now report that
4541
just the top of the subtree has been deleted, rather than reporting
4542
all the individual items. (Robert Collins)
4543
4544
* Commit performs one less XML parse. (Robert Collins)
4545
4546
* ``bzr checkout`` now operates on readonly branches as well
4547
as readwrite branches. This fixes bug #39542. (Robert Collins)
4548
4549
* ``bzr bind`` no longer synchronises history with the master branch.
4550
Binding should be followed by an update or push to synchronise the
4551
two branches. This is closely related to the fix for bug #39542.
4552
(Robert Collins)
4553
4554
* ``bzrlib.lazy_import.lazy_import`` function to create on-demand
4555
objects. This allows all imports to stay at the global scope, but
4556
modules will not actually be imported if they are not used.
4557
(John Arbash Meinel)
4558
4559
* Support ``bzr://`` and ``bzr+ssh://`` urls to work with the new RPC-based
4560
transport which will be used with the upcoming high-performance smart
4561
server. The new command ``bzr serve`` will invoke bzr in server mode,
4562
which processes these requests. (Andrew Bennetts, Robert Collins, Martin
4563
Pool)
4564
4565
* New command ``bzr version-info`` which can be used to get a summary
4566
of the current state of the tree. This is especially useful as part
4567
of a build commands. See ``doc/version_info.txt`` for more information
4568
(John Arbash Meinel)
4569
4570
BUG FIXES:
4571
4572
* ``'bzr inventory [FILE...]'`` allows restricting the file list to a
4573
specific set of files. (John Arbash Meinel, #3631)
4574
4575
* Don't abort when annotating empty files (John Arbash Meinel, #56814)
4576
4577
* Add ``Stanza.to_unicode()`` which can be passed to another Stanza
4578
when nesting stanzas. Also, add ``read_stanza_unicode`` to handle when
4579
reading a nested Stanza. (John Arbash Meinel)
4580
4581
* Transform._set_mode() needs to stat the right file.
4582
(John Arbash Meinel, #56549)
4583
4584
* Raise WeaveFormatError rather than StopIteration when trying to read
4585
an empty Weave file. (John Arbash Meinel, #46871)
4586
4587
* Don't access e.code for generic URLErrors, only HTTPErrors have .code.
4588
(Vincent Ladeuil, #59835)
4589
4590
* Handle boundary="" lines properly to allow access through a Squid proxy.
4591
(John Arbash Meinel, #57723)
4592
4593
* revert now removes newly-added directories (Aaron Bentley, #54172)
4594
4595
* ``bzr upgrade sftp://`` shouldn't fail to upgrade v6 branches if there
4596
isn't a working tree. (David Allouche, #40679)
4597
4598
* Give nicer error messages when a user supplies an invalid --revision
4599
parameter. (John Arbash Meinel, #55420)
4600
4601
* Handle when LANG is not recognized by python. Emit a warning, but
4602
just revert to using 'ascii'. (John Arbash Meinel, #35392)
4603
4604
* Don't use ``preexec_fn`` on win32, as it is not supported by subprocess.
4605
(John Arbash Meinel)
4606
4607
* Skip specific tests when the dependencies aren't met. This includes
4608
some ``setup.py`` tests when ``python-dev`` is not available, and
4609
some tests that depend on paramiko. (John Arbash Meinel, Mattheiu Moy)
4610
4611
* Fallback to Paramiko properly, if no ``ssh`` executable exists on
4612
the system. (Andrew Bennetts, John Arbash Meinel)
4613
4614
* ``Branch.bind(other_branch)`` no longer takes a write lock on the
4615
other branch, and will not push or pull between the two branches.
4616
API users will need to perform a push or pull or update operation if they
4617
require branch synchronisation to take place. (Robert Collins, #47344)
4618
4619
* When creating a tarball or zipfile export, export unicode names as utf-8
4620
paths. This may not work perfectly on all platforms, but has the best
4621
chance of working in the common case. (John Arbash Meinel, #56816)
4622
4623
* When committing, only files that exist in working tree or basis tree
4624
may be specified (Aaron Bentley, #50793)
4625
4626
PORTABILITY:
4627
4628
* Fixes to run on Python 2.5 (Brian M. Carlson, Martin Pool, Marien Zwart)
4629
4630
INTERNALS:
4631
4632
* TestCaseInTempDir now creates a separate directory for HOME, rather
4633
than having HOME set to the same location as the working directory.
4634
(John Arbash Meinel)
4635
4636
* ``run_bzr_subprocess()`` can take an optional ``env_changes={}`` parameter,
4637
which will update os.environ inside the spawned child. It also can
4638
take a ``universal_newlines=True``, which helps when checking the output
4639
of the command. (John Arbash Meinel)
4640
4641
* Refactor SFTP vendors to allow easier re-use when ssh is used.
4642
(Andrew Bennetts)
4643
4644
* ``Transport.list_dir()`` and ``Transport.iter_files_recursive()`` should always
4645
return urlescaped paths. This is now tested (there were bugs in a few
4646
of the transports) (Andrew Bennetts, David Allouche, John Arbash Meinel)
4647
4648
* New utility function ``symbol_versioning.deprecation_string``. Returns the
4649
formatted string for a callable, deprecation format pair. (Robert Collins)
4650
4651
* New TestCase helper applyDeprecated. This allows you to call a callable
4652
which is deprecated without it spewing to the screen, just by supplying
4653
the deprecation format string issued for it. (Robert Collins)
4654
4655
* Transport.append and Transport.put have been deprecated in favor of
4656
``.append_bytes``, ``.append_file``, ``.put_bytes``, and
4657
``.put_file``. This removes the ambiguity in what type of object the
4658
functions take. ``Transport.non_atomic_put_{bytes,file}`` has also
4659
been added. Which works similarly to ``Transport.append()`` except for
4660
SFTP, it doesn't have a round trip when opening the file. Also, it
4661
provides functionality for creating a parent directory when trying
4662
to create a file, rather than raise NoSuchFile and forcing the
4663
caller to repeat their request.
4664
(John Arbash Meinel)
4665
4666
* WorkingTree has a new api ``unversion`` which allow the unversioning of
4667
entries by their file id. (Robert Collins)
4668
4669
* ``WorkingTree.pending_merges`` is deprecated. Please use the
4670
``get_parent_ids`` (introduced in 0.10) method instead. (Robert Collins)
4671
4672
* WorkingTree has a new ``lock_tree_write`` method which locks the branch for
4673
read rather than write. This is appropriate for actions which only need
4674
the branch data for reference rather than mutation. A new decorator
4675
``needs_tree_write_lock`` is provided in the workingtree module. Like the
4676
``needs_read_lock`` and ``needs_write_lock`` decorators this allows static
4677
declaration of the locking requirements of a function to ensure that
4678
a lock is taken out for casual scripts. (Robert Collins, #54107)
4679
4680
* All WorkingTree methods which write to the tree, but not to the branch
4681
have been converted to use ``needs_tree_write_lock`` rather than
4682
``needs_write_lock``. Also converted is the revert, conflicts and tree
4683
transform modules. This provides a modest performance improvement on
4684
metadir style trees, due to the reduce lock-acquisition, and a more
4685
significant performance improvement on lightweight checkouts from
4686
remote branches, where trivial operations used to pay a significant
4687
penalty. It also provides the basis for allowing readonly checkouts.
4688
(Robert Collins)
4689
4690
* Special case importing the standard library 'copy' module. This shaves
4691
off 40ms of startup time, while retaining compatibility. See:
4692
``bzrlib/inspect_for_copy.py`` for more details. (John Arbash Meinel)
4693
4694
* WorkingTree has a new parent class MutableTree which represents the
4695
specialisations of Tree which are able to be altered. (Robert Collins)
4696
4697
* New methods mkdir and ``put_file_bytes_non_atomic`` on MutableTree that
4698
mutate the tree and its contents. (Robert Collins)
4699
4700
* Transport behaviour at the root of the URL is now defined and tested.
4701
(Andrew Bennetts, Robert Collins)
4702
4703
TESTING:
4704
4705
* New test helper classs MemoryTree. This is typically accessed via
4706
``self.make_branch_and_memory_tree()`` in test cases. (Robert Collins)
4707
4708
* Add ``start_bzr_subprocess`` and ``stop_bzr_subprocess`` to allow test
4709
code to continue running concurrently with a subprocess of bzr.
4710
(Andrew Bennetts, Robert Collins)
4711
4712
* Add a new method ``Transport.get_smart_client()``. This is provided to
4713
allow upgrades to a richer interface than the VFS one provided by
4714
Transport. (Andrew Bennetts, Martin Pool)
4715
4716
bzr 0.10 2006-08-29
4717
--------------------
4718
4719
IMPROVEMENTS:
4720
* 'merge' now takes --uncommitted, to apply uncommitted changes from a
4721
tree. (Aaron Bentley)
4722
4723
* 'bzr add --file-ids-from' can be used to specify another path to use
4724
for creating file ids, rather than generating all new ones. Internally,
4725
the 'action' passed to ``smart_add_tree()`` can return ``file_ids`` that
4726
will be used, rather than having bzrlib generate new ones.
4727
(John Arbash Meinel, #55781)
4728
4729
* ``bzr selftest --benchmark`` now allows a ``--cache-dir`` parameter.
4730
This will cache some of the intermediate trees, and decrease the
4731
setup time for benchmark tests. (John Arbash Meinel)
4732
4733
* Inverse forms are provided for all boolean options. For example,
4734
--strict has --no-strict, --no-recurse has --recurse (Aaron Bentley)
4735
4736
* Serialize out Inventories directly, rather than using ElementTree.
4737
Writing out a kernel sized inventory drops from 2s down to ~350ms.
4738
(Robert Collins, John Arbash Meinel)
4739
4740
BUG FIXES:
4741
4742
* Help diffutils 2.8.4 get along with binary tests (Marien Zwart: #57614)
4743
4744
* Change LockDir so that if the lock directory doesn't exist when
4745
``lock_write()`` is called, an attempt will be made to create it.
4746
(John Arbash Meinel, #56974)
4747
4748
* ``bzr uncommit`` preserves pending merges. (John Arbash Meinel, #57660)
4749
4750
* Active FTP transport now works as intended. (ghozzy, #56472)
4751
4752
* Really fix mutter() so that it won't ever raise a UnicodeError.
4753
It means it is possible for ~/.bzr.log to contain non UTF-8 characters.
4754
But it is a debugging log, not a real user file.
4755
(John Arbash Meinel, #56947, #53880)
4756
4757
* Change Command handle to allow Unicode command and options.
4758
At present we cannot register Unicode command names, so we will get
4759
BzrCommandError('unknown command'), or BzrCommandError('unknown option')
4760
But that is better than a UnicodeError + a traceback.
4761
(John Arbash Meinel, #57123)
4762
4763
* Handle TZ=UTC properly when reading/writing revisions.
4764
(John Arbash Meinel, #55783, #56290)
4765
4766
* Use ``GPG_TTY`` to allow gpg --cl to work with gpg-agent in a pipeline,
4767
(passing text to sign in on stdin). (John Arbash Meinel, #54468)
4768
4769
* External diff does the right thing for binaries even in foreign
4770
languages. (John Arbash Meinel, #56307)
4771
4772
* Testament handles more cases when content is unicode. Specific bug was
4773
in handling of revision properties.
4774
(John Arbash Meinel, Holger Krekel, #54723)
4775
4776
* The bzr selftest was failing on installed versions due to a bug in a new
4777
test helper. (John Arbash Meinel, Robert Collins, #58057)
4778
4779
INTERNALS:
4780
4781
* ``bzrlib.cache_utf8`` contains ``encode()`` and ``decode()`` functions
4782
which can be used to cache the conversion between utf8 and Unicode.
4783
Especially helpful for some of the knit annotation code, which has to
4784
convert revision ids to utf8 to annotate lines in storage.
4785
(John Arbash Meinel)
4786
4787
* ``setup.py`` now searches the filesystem to find all packages which
4788
need to be installed. This should help make the life of packagers
4789
easier. (John Arbash Meinel)
4790
4791
bzr 0.9.0 2006-08-11
4792
---------------------
4793
4794
SURPRISES:
4795
4796
* The hard-coded built-in ignore rules have been removed. There are
4797
now two rulesets which are enforced. A user global one in
4798
``~/.bazaar/ignore`` which will apply to every tree, and the tree
4799
specific one '.bzrignore'.
4800
``~/.bazaar/ignore`` will be created if it does not exist, but with
4801
a more conservative list than the old default.
4802
This fixes bugs with default rules being enforced no matter what.
4803
The old list of ignore rules from bzr is available by
4804
running 'bzr ignore --old-default-rules'.
4805
(Robert Collins, Martin Pool, John Arbash Meinel)
4806
4807
* 'branches.conf' has been changed to 'locations.conf', since it can apply
4808
to more locations than just branch locations.
4809
(Aaron Bentley)
4810
4811
IMPROVEMENTS:
4812
4813
* The revision specifier "revno:" is extended to accept the syntax
4814
revno:N:branch. For example,
4815
revno:42:http://bazaar-vcs.org/bzr/bzr.dev/ means revision 42 in
4816
bzr.dev. (Matthieu Moy)
4817
4818
* Tests updates to ensure proper URL handling, UNICODE support, and
4819
proper printing when the user's terminal encoding cannot display
4820
the path of a file that has been versioned.
4821
``bzr branch`` can take a target URL rather than only a local directory.
4822
``Branch.get_parent()/set_parent()`` now save a relative path if possible,
4823
and normalize the parent based on root, allowing access across
4824
different transports. (John Arbash Meinel, Wouter van Heyst, Martin Pool)
4825
(Malone #48906, #42699, #40675, #5281, #3980, #36363, #43689,
4826
#42517, #42514)
4827
4828
* On Unix, detect terminal width using an ioctl not just $COLUMNS.
4829
Use terminal width for single-line logs from ``bzr log --line`` and
4830
pending-merge display. (Robert Widhopf-Fenk, Gustavo Niemeyer)
4831
(Malone #3507)
4832
4833
* On Windows, detect terminal width using GetConsoleScreenBufferInfo.
4834
(Alexander Belchenko)
4835
4836
* Speedup improvement for 'date:'-revision search. (Guillaume Pinot).
4837
4838
* Show the correct number of revisions pushed when pushing a new branch.
4839
(Robert Collins).
4840
4841
* 'bzr selftest' now shows a progress bar with the number of tests, and
4842
progress made. 'make check' shows tests in -v mode, to be more useful
4843
for the PQM status window. (Robert Collins).
4844
When using a progress bar, failed tests are printed out, rather than
4845
being overwritten by the progress bar until the suite finishes.
4846
(John Arbash Meinel)
4847
4848
* 'bzr selftest --benchmark' will run a new benchmarking selftest.
4849
'bzr selftest --benchmark --lsprof-timed' will use lsprofile to generate
4850
profile data for the individual profiled calls, allowing for fine
4851
grained analysis of performance.
4852
(Robert Collins, Martin Pool).
4853
4854
* 'bzr commit' shows a progress bar. This is useful for commits over sftp
4855
where commit can take an appreciable time. (Robert Collins)
4856
4857
* 'bzr add' is now less verbose in telling you what ignore globs were
4858
matched by files being ignored. Instead it just tells you how many
4859
were ignored (because you might reasonably be expecting none to be
4860
ignored). 'bzr add -v' is unchanged and will report every ignored
4861
file. (Robert Collins).
4862
4863
* ftp now has a test server if medusa is installed. As part of testing,
4864
ftp support has been improved, including support for supplying a
4865
non-standard port. (John Arbash Meinel).
4866
4867
* 'bzr log --line' shows the revision number, and uses only the
4868
first line of the log message (#5162, Alexander Belchenko;
4869
Matthieu Moy)
4870
4871
* 'bzr status' has had the --all option removed. The 'bzr ls' command
4872
should be used to retrieve all versioned files. (Robert Collins)
4873
4874
* 'bzr bundle OTHER/BRANCH' will create a bundle which can be sent
4875
over email, and applied on the other end, while maintaining ancestry.
4876
This bundle can be applied with either 'bzr merge' or 'bzr pull',
4877
the same way you would apply another branch.
4878
(John Arbash Meinel, Aaron Bentley)
4879
4880
* 'bzr whoami' can now be used to set your identity from the command line,
4881
for a branch or globally. (Robey Pointer)
4882
4883
* 'bzr checkout' now aliased to 'bzr co', and 'bzr annotate' to 'bzr ann'.
4884
(Michael Ellerman)
4885
4886
* 'bzr revert DIRECTORY' now reverts the contents of the directory as well.
4887
(Aaron Bentley)
4888
4889
* 'bzr get sftp://foo' gives a better error when paramiko is not present.
4890
Also updates things like 'http+pycurl://' if pycurl is not present.
4891
(John Arbash Meinel) (Malone #47821, #52204)
4892
4893
* New env variable ``BZR_PROGRESS_BAR``, sets the default progress bar type.
4894
Can be set to 'none' or 'dummy' to disable the progress bar, 'dots' or
4895
'tty' to create the respective type. (John Arbash Meinel, #42197, #51107)
4896
4897
* Improve the help text for 'bzr diff' to explain what various options do.
4898
(John Arbash Meinel, #6391)
4899
4900
* 'bzr uncommit -r 10' now uncommits revisions 11.. rather than uncommitting
4901
revision 10. This makes -r10 more in line with what other commands do.
4902
'bzr uncommit' also now saves the pending merges of the revisions that
4903
were removed. So it is safe to uncommit after a merge, fix something,
4904
and commit again. (John Arbash Meinel, #32526, #31426)
4905
4906
* 'bzr init' now also works on remote locations.
4907
(Wouter van Heyst, #48904)
4908
4909
* HTTP support has been updated. When using pycurl we now support
4910
connection keep-alive, which reduces dns requests and round trips.
4911
And for both urllib and pycurl we support multi-range requests,
4912
which decreases the number of round-trips. Performance results for
4913
``bzr branch http://bazaar-vcs.org/bzr/bzr.dev/`` indicate
4914
http branching is now 2-3x faster, and ``bzr pull`` in an existing
4915
branch is as much as 4x faster.
4916
(Michael Ellerman, Johan Rydberg, John Arbash Meinel, #46768)
4917
4918
* Performance improvements for sftp. Branching and pulling are now up to
4919
2x faster. Utilize paramiko.readv() support for async requests if it
4920
is available (paramiko > 1.6) (John Arbash Meinel)
4921
4922
BUG FIXES:
4923
4924
* Fix shadowed definition of TestLocationConfig that caused some
4925
tests not to run.
4926
(Erik Bågfors, Michael Ellerman, Martin Pool, #32587)
4927
4928
* Fix unnecessary requirement of sign-my-commits that it be run from
4929
a working directory. (Martin Pool, Robert Collins)
4930
4931
* 'bzr push location' will only remember the push location if it succeeds
4932
in connecting to the remote location. (John Arbash Meinel, #49742)
4933
4934
* 'bzr revert' no longer toggles the executable bit on win32
4935
(John Arbash Meinel, #45010)
4936
4937
* Handle broken pipe under win32 correctly. (John Arbash Meinel)
4938
4939
* sftp tests now work correctly on win32 if you have a newer paramiko
4940
(John Arbash Meinel)
4941
4942
* Cleanup win32 test suite, and general cleanup of places where
4943
file handles were being held open. (John Arbash Meinel)
4944
4945
* When specifying filenames for 'diff -r x..y', the name of the file in the
4946
working directory can be used, even if its name is different in both x
4947
and y.
4948
4949
* File-ids containing single- or double-quotes are handled correctly by
4950
push. (Aaron Bentley, #52227)
4951
4952
* Normalize unicode filenames to ensure cross-platform consistency.
4953
(John Arbash Meinel, #43689)
4954
4955
* The argument parser can now handle '-' as an argument. Currently
4956
no code interprets it specially (it is mostly handled as a file named
4957
'-'). But plugins, and future operations can use it.
4958
(John Arbash meinel, #50984)
4959
4960
* Bundles can properly read binary files with a plain '\r' in them.
4961
(John Arbash Meinel, #51927)
4962
4963
* Tuning ``iter_entries()`` to be more efficient (John Arbash Meinel, #5444)
4964
4965
* Lots of win32 fixes (the test suite passes again).
4966
(John Arbash Meinel, #50155)
4967
4968
* Handle openbsd returning None for sys.getfilesystemencoding() (#41183)
4969
4970
* Support ftp APPE (append) to allow Knits to be used over ftp (#42592)
4971
4972
* Removals are only committed if they match the filespec (or if there is
4973
no filespec). (#46635, Aaron Bentley)
4974
4975
* smart-add recurses through all supplied directories
4976
(John Arbash Meinel, #52578)
4977
4978
* Make the bundle reader extra lines before and after the bundle text.
4979
This allows you to parse an email with the bundle inline.
4980
(John Arbash Meinel, #49182)
4981
4982
* Change the file id generator to squash a little bit more. Helps when
4983
working with long filenames on windows. (Also helps for unicode filenames
4984
not generating hidden files). (John Arbash Meinel, #43801)
4985
4986
* Restore terminal mode on C-c while reading sftp password. (#48923,
4987
Nicholas Allen, Martin Pool)
4988
4989
* Timestamps are rounded to 1ms, and revision entries can be recreated
4990
exactly. (John Arbash Meinel, Jamie Wilkinson, #40693)
4991
4992
* Branch.base has changed to a URL, but ~/.bazaar/locations.conf should
4993
use local paths, since it is user visible (John Arbash Meinel, #53653)
4994
4995
* ``bzr status foo`` when foo was unversioned used to cause a full delta
4996
to be generated (John Arbash Meinel, #53638)
4997
4998
* When reading revision properties, an empty value should be considered
4999
the empty string, not None (John Arbash Meinel, #47782)
5000
5001
* ``bzr diff --diff-options`` can now handle binary files being changed.
5002
Also, the output is consistent when --diff-options is not supplied.
5003
(John Arbash Meinel, #54651, #52930)
5004
5005
* Use the right suffixes for loading plugins (John Arbash Meinel, #51810)
5006
5007
* Fix ``Branch.get_parent()`` to handle the case when the parent is not
5008
accessible (John Arbash Meinel, #52976)
5009
5010
INTERNALS:
5011
5012
* Combine the ignore rules into a single regex rather than looping over
5013
them to reduce the threshold where N^2 behaviour occurs in operations
5014
like status. (Jan Hudec, Robert Collins).
5015
5016
* Appending to ``bzrlib.DEFAULT_IGNORE`` is now deprecated. Instead, use
5017
one of the add functions in bzrlib.ignores. (John Arbash Meinel)
5018
5019
* 'bzr push' should only push the ancestry of the current revision, not
5020
all of the history in the repository. This is especially important for
5021
shared repositories. (John Arbash Meinel)
5022
5023
* ``bzrlib.delta.compare_trees`` now iterates in alphabetically sorted order,
5024
rather than randomly walking the inventories. (John Arbash Meinel)
5025
5026
* Doctests are now run in temporary directories which are cleaned up when
5027
they finish, rather than using special ScratchDir/ScratchBranch objects.
5028
(Martin Pool)
5029
5030
* Split ``check`` into separate methods on the branch and on the repository,
5031
so that it can be specialized in ways that are useful or efficient for
5032
different formats. (Martin Pool, Robert Collins)
5033
5034
* Deprecate ``Repository.all_revision_ids``; most methods don't really need
5035
the global revision graph but only that part leading up to a particular
5036
revision. (Martin Pool, Robert Collins)
5037
5038
* Add a BzrDirFormat ``control_formats`` list which allows for control formats
5039
that do not use '.bzr' to store their data - i.e. '.svn', '.hg' etc.
5040
(Robert Collins, Jelmer Vernooij).
5041
5042
* ``bzrlib.diff.external_diff`` can be redirected to any file-like object.
5043
Uses subprocess instead of spawnvp.
5044
(James Henstridge, John Arbash Meinel, #4047, #48914)
5045
5046
* New command line option '--profile-imports', which will install a custom
5047
importer to log time to import modules and regex compilation time to
5048
sys.stderr (John Arbash Meinel)
5049
5050
* 'EmptyTree' is now deprecated, please use ``repository.revision_tree(None)``
5051
instead. (Robert Collins)
5052
5053
* "RevisionTree" is now in bzrlib/revisiontree.py. (Robert Collins)

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

5495
* Fix for bzr pull failing sometimes under windows
5496
5497
* Fix for sftp transport under windows when using interactive auth
5498
5499
* Show files which are both renamed and modified as such in 'bzr
5500
status' output. (Daniel Silverstone, #4503)
5501
5502
* Make annotate cope better with revisions committed without a valid
5503
email address. (Marien Zwart)
5504
5505
* Fix representation of tab characters in commit messages.
5506
(Harald Meland)
5507
5508
* List of plugin directories in ``BZR_PLUGIN_PATH`` environment variable is
5509
now parsed properly under Windows. (Alexander Belchenko)
5510
5511
* Show number of revisions pushed/pulled/merged. (Robey Pointer)
5512
5513
* Keep a cached copy of the basis inventory to speed up operations
5514
that need to refer to it. (Johan Rydberg, Martin Pool)
5515
5516
* Fix bugs in bzr status display of non-ascii characters.
5517
(Martin Pool)
5518
5519
* Remove Makefile.in from default ignore list.
5520
(Tollef Fog Heen, Martin Pool, #6413)
5521
5522
* Fix failure in 'bzr added'. (Nathan McCallum, Martin Pool)
5523
5524
TESTING:
5525
5526
* Fix selftest asking for passwords when there are no SFTP keys.
5527
(Robey Pointer, Jelmer Vernooij)
5528
5529
* Fix selftest run with 'python -O'. (Martin Pool)
5530
5531
* Fix HTTP tests under Windows. (John Arbash Meinel)
5532
5533
* Make tests work even if HOME is not set (Aaron Bentley)
5534
5535
* Updated ``build_tree`` to use fixed line-endings for tests which read
5536
the file cotents and compare. Make some tests use this to pass under
5537
Windows. (John Arbash Meinel)
5538
5539
* Skip stat and symlink tests under Windows. (Alexander Belchenko)
5540
5541
* Delay in selftest/testhashcash is now issued under win32 and Cygwin.
5542
(John Arbash Meinel)
5543
5544
* Use terminal width to align verbose test output. (Martin Pool)
5545
5546
* Blackbox tests are maintained within the bzrlib.tests.blackbox directory.
5547
If adding a new test script please add that to
5548
``bzrlib.tests.blackbox.__init__``. (Robert Collins)
5549
5550
* Much better error message if one of the test suites can't be
5551
imported. (Martin Pool)
5552
5553
* Make check now runs the test suite twice - once with the default locale,
5554
and once with all locales forced to C, to expose bugs. This is not
5555
trivially done within python, so for now its only triggered by running
5556
Make check. Integrators and packagers who wish to check for full
5557
platform support should run 'make check' to test the source.
5558
(Robert Collins)
5559
5560
* Tests can now run TestSkipped if they can't execute for any reason.
5561
(Martin Pool) (NB: TestSkipped should only be raised for correctable
5562
reasons - see the wiki spec ImprovingBzrTestSuite).
5563
5564
* Test sftp with relative, absolute-in-homedir and absolute-not-in-homedir
5565
paths for the transport tests. Introduce blackbox remote sftp tests that
5566
test the same permutations. (Robert Collins, Robey Pointer)
5567
5568
* Transport implementation tests are now independent of the local file
5569
system, which allows tests for esoteric transports, and for features
5570
not available in the local file system. They also repeat for variations
5571
on the URL scheme that can introduce issues in the transport code,
5572
see bzrlib.transport.TransportTestProviderAdapter() for this.
5573
(Robert Collins).
5574
5575
* ``TestCase.build_tree`` uses the transport interface to build trees,
5576
pass in a transport parameter to give it an existing connection.
5577
(Robert Collins).
5578
5579
INTERNALS:
5580
5581
* WorkingTree.pull has been split across Branch and WorkingTree,
5582
to allow Branch only pulls. (Robert Collins)
5583
5584
* ``commands.display_command`` now returns the result of the decorated
5585
function. (Robert Collins)
5586
5587
* LocationConfig now has a ``set_user_option(key, value)`` call to save
5588
a setting in its matching location section (a new one is created
5589
if needed). (Robert Collins)
5590
5591
* Branch has two new methods, ``get_push_location`` and
5592
``set_push_location`` to respectively, get and set the push location.
5593
(Robert Collins)
5594
5595
* ``commands.register_command`` now takes an optional flag to signal that
5596
the registrant is planning to decorate an existing command. When
5597
given multiple plugins registering a command is not an error, and
5598
the original command class (whether built in or a plugin based one) is
5599
returned to the caller. There is a new error 'MustUseDecorated' for
5600
signalling when a wrapping command should switch to the original
5601
version. (Robert Collins)
5602
5603
* Some option parsing errors will raise 'BzrOptionError', allowing
5604
granular detection for decorating commands. (Robert Collins).
5605
5606
* ``Branch.read_working_inventory`` has moved to
5607
``WorkingTree.read_working_inventory``. This necessitated changes to
5608
``Branch.get_root_id``, and a move of ``Branch.set_inventory`` to
5609
WorkingTree as well. To make it clear that a WorkingTree cannot always
5610
be obtained ``Branch.working_tree()`` will raise
5611
``errors.NoWorkingTree`` if one cannot be obtained. (Robert Collins)
5612
5613
* All pending merges operations from Branch are now on WorkingTree.
5614
(Robert Collins)
5615
5616
* The follow operations from Branch have moved to WorkingTree::
5617
5618
add()
5619
commit()
5620
move()
5621
rename_one()
5622
unknowns()
5623
5624
(Robert Collins)
5625
5626
* ``bzrlib.add.smart_add_branch`` is now ``smart_add_tree``. (Robert Collins)
5627
5628
* New "rio" serialization format, similar to rfc-822. (Martin Pool)
5629
5630
* Rename selftests to ``bzrlib.tests.test_foo``. (John A Meinel, Martin
5631
Pool)
5632
5633
* ``bzrlib.plugin.all_plugins`` has been changed from an attribute to a
5634
query method. (Robert Collins)
5635
5636
* New options to read only the table-of-contents of a weave.
5637
(Denys Duchier)
5638
5639
* Raise NoSuchFile when someone tries to add a non-existant file.
5640
(Michael Ellerman)
5641
5642
* Simplify handling of DivergedBranches in ``cmd_pull()``.
5643
(Michael Ellerman)
5644
5645
* Branch.controlfile* logic has moved to lockablefiles.LockableFiles, which
5646
is exposed as ``Branch().control_files``. Also this has been altered with the
5647
controlfile pre/suffix replaced by simple method names like 'get' and
5648
'put'. (Aaron Bentley, Robert Collins).
5649
5650
* Deprecated functions and methods can now be marked as such using the
5651
``bzrlib.symbol_versioning`` module. Marked method have their docstring
5652
updated and will issue a DeprecationWarning using the warnings module
5653
when they are used. (Robert Collins)
5654
5655
* ``bzrlib.osutils.safe_unicode`` now exists to provide parameter coercion
5656
for functions that need unicode strings. (Robert Collins)

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

5870
bzr 0.1.1 2005-10-12
5871
--------------------
5872
5873
BUG FIXES:
5874
5875
* Fix problem in pulling over http from machines that do not
5876
allow directories to be listed.
5877
5878
* Avoid harmless warning about invalid hash cache after
5879
upgrading branch format.
5880
5881
PERFORMANCE:
5882
5883
* Avoid some unnecessary http operations in branch and pull.

5886
bzr 0.1 2005-10-11
5887
------------------
5888
5889
NOTES:
5890
5891
* 'bzr branch' over http initially gives a very high estimate
5892
of completion time but it should fall as the first few
5893
revisions are pulled in. branch is still slow on
5894
high-latency connections.
5895
5896
BUG FIXES:
5897
5898
* bzr-man.py has been updated to work again. Contributed by
5899
Rob Weir.
5900
5901
* Locking is now done with fcntl.lockf which works with NFS
5902
file systems. Contributed by Harald Meland.
5903
5904
* When a merge encounters a file that has been deleted on
5905
one side and modified on the other, the old contents are
5906
written out to foo.BASE and foo.SIDE, where SIDE is this
5907
or OTHER. Contributed by Aaron Bentley.
5908
5909
* Export was choosing incorrect file paths for the content of
5910
the tarball, this has been fixed by Aaron Bentley.
5911
5912
* Commit will no longer commit without a log message, an
5913
error is returned instead. Contributed by Jelmer Vernooij.
5914
5915
* If you commit a specific file in a sub directory, any of its
5916
parent directories that are added but not listed will be
5917
automatically included. Suggested by Michael Ellerman.
5918
5919
* bzr commit and upgrade did not correctly record new revisions
5920
for files with only a change to their executable status.
5921
bzr will correct this when it encounters it. Fixed by
5922
Robert Collins
5923
5924
* HTTP tests now force off the use of ``http_proxy`` for the duration.
5925
Contributed by Gustavo Niemeyer.
5926
5927
* Fix problems in merging weave-based branches that have
5928
different partial views of history.
5929
5930
* Symlink support: working with symlinks when not in the root of a
5931
bzr tree was broken, patch from Scott James Remnant.
5932
5933
IMPROVEMENTS:
5934
5935
* 'branch' now accepts a --basis parameter which will take advantage
5936
of local history when making a new branch. This allows faster
5937
branching of remote branches. Contributed by Aaron Bentley.
5938
5939
* New tree format based on weave files, called version 5.
5940
Existing branches can be upgraded to this format using
5941
'bzr upgrade'.
5942
5943
* Symlinks are now versionable. Initial patch by
5944
Erik Toubro Nielsen, updated to head by Robert Collins.
5945
5946
* Executable bits are tracked on files. Patch from Gustavo
5947
Niemeyer.
5948
5949
* 'bzr status' now shows unknown files inside a selected directory.
5950
Patch from Heikki Paajanen.
5951
5952
* Merge conflicts are recorded in .bzr. Two new commands 'conflicts'
5953
and 'resolve' have needed added, which list and remove those
5954
merge conflicts respectively. A conflicted tree cannot be committed
5955
in. Contributed by Aaron Bentley.
5956
5957
* 'rm' is now an alias for 'remove'.
5958
5959
* Stores now split out their content in a single byte prefixed hash,
5960
dropping the density of files per directory by 256. Contributed by
5961
Gustavo Niemeyer.
5962
5963
* 'bzr diff -r branch:URL' will now perform a diff between two branches.
5964
Contributed by Robert Collins.
5965
5966
* 'bzr log' with the default formatter will show merged revisions,
5967
indented to the right. Initial implementation contributed by Gustavo
5968
Niemeyer, made incremental by Robert Collins.
5969
5970
5971
INTERNALS:
5972
5973
* Test case failures have the exception printed after the log
5974
for your viewing pleasure.
5975
5976
* InventoryEntry is now an abstract base class, use one of the
5977
concrete InventoryDirectory etc classes instead.
5978
5979
* Branch raises an UnsupportedFormatError when it detects a
5980
bzr branch it cannot understand. This allows for precise
5981
handling of such circumstances.
5982
5983
* Remove RevisionReference class; ``Revision.parent_ids`` is now simply a
5984
list of their ids and ``parent_sha1s`` is a list of their corresponding
5985
sha1s (for old branches only at the moment.)
5986
5987
* New method-object style interface for Commit() and Fetch().
5988
5989
* Renamed ``Branch.last_patch()`` to ``Branch.last_revision()``, since
5990
we call them revisions not patches.
5991
5992
* Move ``copy_branch`` to ``bzrlib.clone.copy_branch``. The destination
5993
directory is created if it doesn't exist.
5994
5995
* Inventories now identify the files which were present by
5996
giving the revision *of that file*.
5997
5998
* Inventory and Revision XML contains a version identifier.
5999
This must be consistent with the overall branch version
6000
but allows for more flexibility in future upgrades.
6001
6002
TESTING:
6003
6004
* Removed testsweet module so that tests can be run after
6005
bzr installed by 'bzr selftest'.
6006
6007
* 'bzr selftest' command-line arguments can now be partial ids
6008
of tests to run, e.g. ``bzr selftest test_weave``
6009
6010
6011
bzr 0.0.9 2005-09-23
6012
--------------------
6013
6014
BUG FIXES:
6015
6016
* Fixed "branch -r" option.
6017
6018
* Fix remote access to branches containing non-compressed history.
6019
(Robert Collins).
6020
6021
* Better reliability of http server tests. (John Arbash-Meinel)
6022
6023
* Merge graph maximum distance calculation fix. (Aaron Bentley)
6024
6025
* Various minor bug in windows support have been fixed, largely in the
6026
test suite. Contributed by Alexander Belchenko.
6027
6028
IMPROVEMENTS:
6029
6030
* Status now accepts a -r argument to give status between chosen
6031
revisions. Contributed by Heikki Paajanen.
6032
6033
* Revision arguments no longer use +/-/= to control ranges, instead
6034
there is a 'before' namespace, which limits the successive namespace.
6035
For example '$ bzr log -r date:yesterday..before:date:today' will
6036
select everything from yesterday and before today. Contributed by
6037
Robey Pointer
6038
6039
* There is now a bzr.bat file created by distutils when building on
6040
Windows. Contributed by Alexander Belchenko.
6041
6042
INTERNALS:
6043
6044
* Removed uuid() as it was unused.
6045
6046
* Improved 'fetch' code for pulling revisions from one branch into
6047
another (used by pull, merged, etc.)
6048
6049
6050
bzr 0.0.8 2005-09-20
6051
--------------------
6052
6053
IMPROVEMENTS:
6054
6055
* Adding a file whose parent directory is not versioned will
6056
implicitly add the parent, and so on up to the root. This means
6057
you should never need to explictly add a directory, they'll just
6058
get added when you add a file in the directory. Contributed by
6059
Michael Ellerman.
6060
6061
* Ignore ``.DS_Store`` (contains Mac metadata) by default.
6062
(Nir Soffer)
6063
6064
* If you set ``BZR_EDITOR`` in the environment, it is checked in
6065
preference to EDITOR and the config file for the interactive commit
6066
editing program. Related to this is a bugfix where a missing program
6067
set in EDITOR would cause editing to fail, now the fallback program
6068
for the operating system is still tried.
6069
6070
* Files that are not directories/symlinks/regular files will no longer
6071
cause bzr to fail, it will just ignore them by default. You cannot add
6072
them to the tree though - they are not versionable.
6073
6074
6075
INTERNALS:
6076
6077
* Refactor xml packing/unpacking.
6078
6079
BUG FIXES:
6080
6081
* Fixed 'bzr mv' by Ollie Rutherfurd.
6082
6083
* Fixed strange error when trying to access a nonexistent http
6084
branch.
6085
6086
* Make sure that the hashcache gets written out if it can't be
6087
read.
6088
6089
6090
PORTABILITY:
6091
6092
* Various Windows fixes from Ollie Rutherfurd.
6093
6094
* Quieten warnings about locking; patch from Matt Lavin.
6095
6096
6097
bzr-0.0.7 2005-09-02
6098
--------------------
6099
6100
NEW FEATURES:
6101
6102
* ``bzr shell-complete`` command contributed by Clint Adams to
6103
help with intelligent shell completion.
6104
6105
* New expert command ``bzr find-merge-base`` for debugging merges.
6106
6107
6108
ENHANCEMENTS:
6109
6110
* Much better merge support.
6111
6112
* merge3 conflicts are now reported with markers like '<<<<<<<'
6113
(seven characters) which is the same as CVS and pleases things
6114
like emacs smerge.
6115
6116
6117
BUG FIXES:
6118
6119
* ``bzr upgrade`` no longer fails when trying to fix trees that
6120
mention revisions that are not present.
6121
6122
* Fixed bugs in listing plugins from ``bzr plugins``.
6123
6124
* Fix case of $EDITOR containing options for the editor.
6125
6126
* Fix log -r refusing to show the last revision.
6127
(Patch from Goffredo Baroncelli.)
6128
6129
6130
CHANGES:
6131
6132
* ``bzr log --show-ids`` shows the revision ids of all parents.
6133
6134
* Externally provided commands on your $BZRPATH no longer need
6135
to recognize --bzr-usage to work properly, and can just handle
6136
--help themselves.
6137
6138
6139
LIBRARY:
6140
6141
* Changed trace messages to go through the standard logging
6142
framework, so that they can more easily be redirected by
6143
libraries.
6144
6145
6146
6147
bzr-0.0.6 2005-08-18
6148
--------------------
6149
6150
NEW FEATURES:
6151
6152
* Python plugins, automatically loaded from the directories on
6153
``BZR_PLUGIN_PATH`` or ``~/.bzr.conf/plugins`` by default.
6154
6155
* New 'bzr mkdir' command.
6156
6157
* Commit mesage is fetched from an editor if not given on the
6158
command line; patch from Torsten Marek.
6159
6160
* ``bzr log -m FOO`` displays commits whose message matches regexp
6161
FOO.
6162
6163
* ``bzr add`` with no arguments adds everything under the current directory.
6164
6165
* ``bzr mv`` does move or rename depending on its arguments, like
6166
the Unix command.
6167
6168
* ``bzr missing`` command shows a summary of the differences
6169
between two trees. (Merged from John Arbash-Meinel.)
6170
6171
* An email address for commits to a particular tree can be
6172
specified by putting it into .bzr/email within a branch. (Based
6173
on a patch from Heikki Paajanen.)
6174
6175
6176
ENHANCEMENTS:
6177
6178
* Faster working tree operations.
6179
6180
6181
CHANGES:
6182
6183
* 3rd-party modules shipped with bzr are copied within the bzrlib
6184
python package, so that they can be installed by the setup
6185
script without clashing with anything already existing on the
6186
system. (Contributed by Gustavo Niemeyer.)
6187
6188
* Moved plugins directory to bzrlib/, so that there's a standard
6189
plugin directory which is not only installed with bzr itself but
6190
is also available when using bzr from the development tree.
6191
``BZR_PLUGIN_PATH`` and ``DEFAULT_PLUGIN_PATH`` are then added to the
6192
standard plugins directory.
6193
6194
* When exporting to a tarball with ``bzr export --format tgz``, put
6195
everything under a top directory rather than dumping it into the
6196
current directory. This can be overridden with the ``--root``
6197
option. Patch from William Dodé and John Meinel.
6198
6199
* New ``bzr upgrade`` command to upgrade the format of a branch,
6200
replacing ``bzr check --update``.
6201
6202
* Files within store directories are no longer marked readonly on
6203
disk.
6204
6205
* Changed ``bzr log`` output to a more compact form suggested by
6206
John A Meinel. Old format is available with the ``--long`` or
6207
``-l`` option, patched by William Dodé.
6208
6209
* By default the commit command refuses to record a revision with
6210
no changes unless the ``--unchanged`` option is given.
6211
6212
* The ``--no-plugins``, ``--profile`` and ``--builtin`` command
6213
line options must come before the command name because they
6214
affect what commands are available; all other options must come
6215
after the command name because their interpretation depends on
6216
it.
6217
6218
* ``branch`` and ``clone`` added as aliases for ``branch``.
6219
6220
* Default log format is back to the long format; the compact one
6221
is available with ``--short``.
6222
6223
6224
BUG FIXES:
6225
6226
* Fix bugs in committing only selected files or within a subdirectory.
6227
6228
6229
bzr-0.0.5 2005-06-15
6230
---------------------
6231
6232
CHANGES:
6233
6234
* ``bzr`` with no command now shows help rather than giving an
6235
error. Suggested by Michael Ellerman.
6236
6237
* ``bzr status`` output format changed, because svn-style output
6238
doesn't really match the model of bzr. Now files are grouped by
6239
status and can be shown with their IDs. ``bzr status --all``
6240
shows all versioned files and unknown files but not ignored files.
6241
6242
* ``bzr log`` runs from most-recent to least-recent, the reverse
6243
of the previous order. The previous behaviour can be obtained
6244
with the ``--forward`` option.
6245
6246
* ``bzr inventory`` by default shows only filenames, and also ids
6247
if ``--show-ids`` is given, in which case the id is the second
6248
field.
6249
6250
6251
ENHANCEMENTS:
6252
6253
* New 'bzr whoami --email' option shows only the email component
6254
of the user identification, from Jo Vermeulen.
6255
6256
* New ``bzr ignore PATTERN`` command.
6257
6258
* Nicer error message for broken pipe, interrupt and similar
6259
conditions that don't indicate an internal error.
6260
6261
* Add ``.*.sw[nop] .git .*.tmp *,v`` to default ignore patterns.
6262
6263
* Per-branch locks keyed on ``.bzr/branch-lock``, available in
6264
either read or write mode.
6265
6266
* New option ``bzr log --show-ids`` shows revision and file ids.
6267
6268
* New usage ``bzr log FILENAME`` shows only revisions that
6269
affected that file.
6270
6271
* Changed format for describing changes in ``bzr log -v``.
6272
6273
* New option ``bzr commit --file`` to take a message from a file,
6274
suggested by LarstiQ.
6275
6276
* New syntax ``bzr status [FILE...]`` contributed by Bartosz
6277
Oler. File may be in a branch other than the working directory.
6278
6279
* ``bzr log`` and ``bzr root`` can be given an http URL instead of
6280
a filename.
6281
6282
* Commands can now be defined by external programs or scripts
6283
in a directory on $BZRPATH.
6284
6285
* New "stat cache" avoids reading the contents of files if they
6286
haven't changed since the previous time.
6287
6288
* If the Python interpreter is too old, try to find a better one
6289
or give an error. Based on a patch from Fredrik Lundh.
6290
6291
* New optional parameter ``bzr info [BRANCH]``.
6292
6293
* New form ``bzr commit SELECTED`` to commit only selected files.
6294
6295
* New form ``bzr log -r FROM:TO`` shows changes in selected
6296
range; contributed by John A Meinel.
6297
6298
* New option ``bzr diff --diff-options 'OPTS'`` allows passing
6299
options through to an external GNU diff.
6300
6301
* New option ``bzr add --no-recurse`` to add a directory but not
6302
their contents.
6303
6304
* ``bzr --version`` now shows more information if bzr is being run
6305
from a branch.
6306
6307
6308
BUG FIXES:
6309
6310
* Fixed diff format so that added and removed files will be
6311
handled properly by patch. Fix from Lalo Martins.
6312
6313
* Various fixes for files whose names contain spaces or other
6314
metacharacters.
6315
6316
6317
TESTING:
6318
6319
* Converted black-box test suites from Bourne shell into Python;
6320
now run using ``./testbzr``. Various structural improvements to
6321
the tests.
6322
6323
* testbzr by default runs the version of bzr found in the same
6324
directory as the tests, or the one given as the first parameter.
6325
6326
* testbzr also runs the internal tests, so the only command
6327
required to check is just ``./testbzr``.
6328
6329
* testbzr requires python2.4, but can be used to test bzr running
6330
under a different version.
6331
6332
* Tests added for many other changes in this release.
6333
6334
6335
INTERNAL:
6336
6337
* Included ElementTree library upgraded to 1.2.6 by Fredrik Lundh.
6338
6339
* Refactor command functions into Command objects based on HCT by
6340
Scott James Remnant.
6341
6342
* Better help messages for many commands.
6343
6344
* Expose ``bzrlib.open_tracefile()`` to start the tracefile; until
6345
this is called trace messages are just discarded.
6346
6347
* New internal function ``find_touching_revisions()`` and hidden
6348
command touching-revisions trace the changes to a given file.
6349
6350
* Simpler and faster ``compare_inventories()`` function.
6351
6352
* ``bzrlib.open_tracefile()`` takes a tracefilename parameter.
6353
6354
* New AtomicFile class.
6355
6356
* New developer commands ``added``, ``modified``.
6357
6358
6359
PORTABILITY:
6360
6361
* Cope on Windows on python2.3 by using the weaker random seed.
6362
2.4 is now only recommended.
6363
6364
6365
bzr-0.0.4 2005-04-22
6366
---------------------
6367
6368
ENHANCEMENTS:
6369
6370
* 'bzr diff' optionally takes a list of files to diff. Still a bit
6371
basic. Patch from QuantumG.
6372
6373
* More default ignore patterns.
6374
6375
* New 'bzr log --verbose' shows a list of files changed in the
6376
changeset. Patch from Sebastian Cote.
6377
6378
* Roll over ~/.bzr.log if it gets too large.
6379
6380
* Command abbreviations 'ci', 'st', 'stat', '?' based on a patch
6381
by Jason Diamon.
6382
6383
* New 'bzr help commands' based on a patch from Denys Duchier.
6384
6385
6386
CHANGES:
6387
6388
* User email is determined by looking at $BZREMAIL or ~/.bzr.email
6389
or $EMAIL. All are decoded by the locale preferred encoding.
6390
If none of these are present user@hostname is used. The host's
6391
fully-qualified name is not used because that tends to fail when
6392
there are DNS problems.
6393
6394
* New 'bzr whoami' command instead of username user-email.
6395
6396
6397
BUG FIXES:
6398
6399
* Make commit safe for hardlinked bzr trees.
6400
6401
* Some Unicode/locale fixes.
6402
6403
* Partial workaround for ``difflib.unified_diff`` not handling
6404
trailing newlines properly.
6405
6406
6407
INTERNAL:
6408
6409
* Allow docstrings for help to be in PEP0257 format. Patch from
6410
Matt Brubeck.
6411
6412
* More tests in test.sh.
6413
6414
* Write profile data to a temporary file not into working
6415
directory and delete it when done.
6416
6417
* Smaller .bzr.log with process ids.
6418
6419
6420
PORTABILITY:
6421
6422
* Fix opening of ~/.bzr.log on Windows. Patch from Andrew
6423
Bennetts.
6424
6425
* Some improvements in handling paths on Windows, based on a patch
6426
from QuantumG.
6427
6428
6429
bzr-0.0.3 2005-04-06
6430
---------------------
6431
6432
ENHANCEMENTS:
6433
6434
* New "directories" internal command lists versioned directories
6435
in the tree.
6436
6437
* Can now say "bzr commit --help".
6438
6439
* New "rename" command to rename one file to a different name
6440
and/or directory.
6441
6442
* New "move" command to move one or more files into a different
6443
directory.
6444
6445
* New "renames" command lists files renamed since base revision.
6446
6447
* New cat command contributed by janmar.
6448
6449
CHANGES:
6450
6451
* .bzr.log is placed in $HOME (not pwd) and is always written in
6452
UTF-8. (Probably not a completely good long-term solution, but
6453
will do for now.)
6454
6455
PORTABILITY:
6456
6457
* Workaround for difflib bug in Python 2.3 that causes an
6458
exception when comparing empty files. Reported by Erik Toubro
6459
Nielsen.
6460
6461
INTERNAL:
6462
6463
* Refactored inventory storage to insert a root entry at the top.
6464
6465
TESTING:
6466
6467
* Start of shell-based black-box testing in test.sh.
6468

6478
bzr-0.0.2 "black cube" 2005-03-31
6479
-----------------------------------
6480
6481
ENHANCEMENTS:
6482
6483
* Default ignore list extended (see bzrlib/__init__.py).
6484
6485
* Patterns in .bzrignore are now added to the default ignore list,
6486
rather than replacing it.
6487
6488
* Ignore list isn't reread for every file.
6489
6490
* More help topics.
6491
6492
* Reinstate the 'bzr check' command to check invariants of the
6493
branch.
6494
6495
* New 'ignored' command lists which files are ignored and why;
6496
'deleted' lists files deleted in the current working tree.
6497
6498
* Performance improvements.
6499
6500
* New global --profile option.
6501
6502
* Ignore patterns like './config.h' now correctly match files in
6503
the root directory only.
6504
6505
6506
bzr-0.0.1 2005-03-26
6507
---------------------
6508
6509
ENHANCEMENTS:
6510
6511
* More information from info command.
6512
6513
* Can now say "bzr help COMMAND" for more detailed help.
6514
6515
* Less file flushing and faster performance when writing logs and
6516
committing to stores.
6517
6518
* More useful verbose output from some commands.
6519
6520
BUG FIXES:
6521
6522
* Fix inverted display of 'R' and 'M' during 'commit -v'.
6523
6524
PORTABILITY:
6525
6526
* Include a subset of ElementTree-1.2.20040618 to make
6527
installation easier.
6528
6529
* Fix time.localtime call to work with Python 2.3 (the minimum
6530
supported).

6533
bzr-0.0.0.69 2005-03-22
6534
------------------------
6535
6536
ENHANCEMENTS:
6537
6538
* First public release.
6539
6540
* Storage of local versions: init, add, remove, rm, info, log,
6541
diff, status, etc.
