IN DEVELOPMENT
9
--------------
10
11
CHANGES:
12
13
* Formats using Knit-based repository formats are now explicitly
14
marked as deprecated. (Ian Clatworthy)
15
16
* ``LRUCache(after_cleanup_size)`` was renamed to
17
``after_cleanup_count`` and the old name deprecated. The new name is
18
used for clarity, and to avoid confusion with
19
``LRUSizeCache(after_cleanup_size)``. (John Arbash Meinel)
20
21
NEW FEATURES:
22
23
* ``shelve --list`` can now be used to list shelved changes.
24
(Aaron Bentley)
25
26
* Add support for `bzr tags -r 1..2`, that is we now support showing
27
tags applicable for a specified revision range. (Marius Kruger)
28
29
IMPROVEMENTS:
30
31
* Add trailing slash to directories in all output of ``bzr ls``, except
32
``bzr ls --null``. (Gordon P. Hemsley, #306424)
33
34
* ``bzr revision-info`` now supports a -d option to specify an
35
alternative branch. (Michael Hudson)
36
37
BUG FIXES:
38
39
* Fix a problem with CIFS client/server lag on windows colliding with
40
an invariant-per-process algorithm for generating AtomicFile names
41
(Adrian Wilkins, #304023)
42
43
* Allow BzrDir implementation to implement backing up of
44
control directory. (#139691)
45
46
* Don't call iteritems on transport_list_registry, because it may
47
change during iteration. (Martin Pool, #277048)
48
49
* Don't make a broken branch when pushing an unstackable-format branch
50
that's in a stackable shared repository to a location with default
51
stack-on location. (Andrew Bennetts, #291046)
52
53
* Fix compilation error in ``_dirstate_helpers_c`` on SunOS/Solaris.
54
(Jari Aalto)
55
56
* Fix SystemError in ``_patiencediff_c`` module by calling
57
PyErr_NoMemory() before returning NULL in PatienceSequenceMatcher_new.
58
(Andrew Bennetts, #303206)
59
60
* Give proper error message for diff with non-existent dotted revno.
61
(Marius Kruger, #301969)
62
63
* Handle EACCES (permission denied) errors when launching a message
64
editor, and emit warnings when a configured editor cannot be
65
started. (Andrew Bennetts)
66
67
* Preserve transport decorators while following redirections.
68
(Vincent Ladeuil, #245964, #270863)
69
70
* Provides a finer and more robust filter for accepted redirections.
71
(Vincent Ladeuil, #303959, #265070)
72
73
* ``shelve`` paths are now interpreted relative to the current working
74
tree. (Aaron Bentley)
75
76
* ``Transport.readv()`` defaults to not reading more than 100MB in a
77
single array. Further ``RemoteTransport.readv`` sets this to 5MB to
78
work better with how it splits its requests.
79
(John Arbash Meinel, #303538)
80
81
* Pack repositories are now able to reload the pack listing and retry
82
the current operation if another action causes the data to be
83
repacked. (John Arbash Meinel, #153786)
84
85
* ``pull -v`` now respects the log_format configuration variable.
86
(Aaron Bentley)
87
88
* Use the short status format when the short format is used for log.
89
(Vincent Ladeuil, #87179)
90
91
DOCUMENTATION:
92
93
* Improved the formats help topic to explain why multiple formats
94
exist and to provide guidelines in selecting one. Introduced
95
two new supporting help topics: current-formats and other-formats.
96
(Ian Clatworthy)
97
98
API CHANGES:
99
100
* ``node_distances`` and ``select_farthest`` can no longer be imported
101
from ``bzrlib.graph``. They can still be imported from
102
``bzrlib.deprecated_graph``, which has been the preferred way to
103
import them since before 1.0. (Andrew Bennetts)
104
105
* The logic in commit now delegates inventory basis calculations to
106
the ``CommitBuilder`` object; this requires that the commit builder
107
in use has been updated to support the new ``recording_deletes`` and
108
``record_delete`` methods. (Robert Collins)
109
110
TESTING:
111
112
* ``bzr selftest`` now fails if new trailing white space is added to
113
the bazaar sources. It only checks changes not committed yet. This
114
means that PQM will now reject changes that introduce new trailing
115
whitespace. (Marius Kruger)
116
117
* Introduced new experimental formats called ``1.12-preview`` and
118
``1.12-preview-rich-root`` to enable testing of related pending
119
features, namely content filtering and filtered views.
120
(Ian Clatworthy)
121
122
INTERNALS:
123
124
* Added an ``InventoryEntry`` cache when deserializing inventories.
125
Can cut the time to iterate over multiple RevisionsTrees in half.
126
(John Arbash Meinel)
127
128
* Added ``bzrlib.fifo_cache.FIFOCache`` which is designed to have
129
minimal overhead versus using a plain dict for cache hits, at the
130
cost of not preserving the 'active' set as well as an ``LRUCache``.
131
(John Arbash Meinel)
132
133
* ``DirStateWorkingTree`` and ``DirStateWorkingTreeFormat`` added
134
as base classes of ``WorkingTree4`` and ``WorkingTreeFormat4``
135
respectively. (Ian Clatworthy)
136
137
* ``KnitVersionedFiles.get_record_stream()`` will now chose a
138
more optimal ordering when the keys are requested 'unordered'.
139
Previously the order was fully random, now the records should be
140
returned from each pack in turn, in forward I/O order.
141
(John Arbash Meinel)
142
143
* New method ``bzrlib.repository.Repository.add_inventory_by_delta``
144
allows adding an inventory via an inventory delta, which can be
145
more efficient for some repository types. (Robert Collins)
146
147
* Repository ``CommitBuilder`` objects can now accumulate an inventory
148
delta. To enable this functionality call ``builder.recording_deletes``
149
and additionally call ``builder.record_delete`` when a delete
150
against the basis occurs. (Robert Collins)
151
152
* The default http handler has been changed from pycurl to urllib.
153
The default is still pycurl for https connections. (The only
154
advantage of pycurl is that it checks ssl certificates.)
155
(John Arbash Meinel)
156
157
* ``VersionedFiles.get_record_stream()`` can now return objects with a
158
storage_kind of ``chunked``. This is a collection (list/tuple) of
159
strings. You can use ``osutils.chunks_to_lines()`` to turn them into
160
guaranteed 'lines' or you can use ``''.join(chunks)`` to turn it
161
into a fulltext. This allows for some very good memory savings when
162
asking for many texts that share ancestry, as the individual chunks
163
can be shared between versions of the file. (John Arbash Meinel)
164
165
166
167
bzr 1.10 2008-12-05
168
-------------------
169
170
Bazaar 1.10 has several performance improvements for copying revisions
171
(especially for small updates to large projects). There has also been a
172
significant amount of effort in polishing stacked branches. The commands
173
``shelve`` and ``unshelve`` have become core commands, with an improved
174
implementation.
175
176
The only changes versus bzr-1.10rc1 are bugfixes for stacked branches.
177
178
BUG FIXES:
179
180
* Don't set a pack write cache size from RepoFetcher, because the
181
cache is not coherent with reads and causes ShortReadvErrors.
182
This reverses the change that fixed #294479.
183
(Martin Pool, #303856)
184
185
* Properly handle when a revision can be inserted as a delta versus
186
when it needs to be expanded to a fulltext for stacked branches.
187
There was a bug involving merge revisions. As a method to help
188
prevent future difficulties, also make stacked fetches sort
189
topologically. (John Arbash Meinel, #304841)
190
191
192
bzr 1.10rc1 2008-11-28
193
----------------------
194
195
This release of Bazaar focuses on performance improvements when pushing
196
and pulling revisions, both locally and to remote networks. The popular
197
``shelve`` and ``unshelve`` commands, used to interactively revert and
198
restore work in progress, have been merged from bzrtools into the bzr
199
core. There are also bug fixes for portability, and for stacked branches.
200
201
NEW FEATURES:
202
203
* New ``commit_message_template`` hook that is called by the commit
204
code to generate a template commit message. (Jelmer Vernooij)
205
206
* New `shelve` and `unshelve` commands allow undoing and redoing changes.
207
(Aaron Bentley)
208
209
IMPROVEMENTS:
210
211
* ``(Remote)Branch.copy_content_into`` no longer generates the full revision
212
history just to set the last revision info.
213
(Andrew Bennetts, John Arbash Meinel)
214
215
* Fetches between formats with different serializers (such as
216
pack-0.92-subtree and 1.9-rich-root) are faster now. This is due to
217
operating on batches of 100 revisions at time rather than
218
one-by-one. (Andrew Bennetts, John Arbash Meinel)
219
220
* Search index files corresponding to pack files we've already used
221
before searching others, because they are more likely to have the
222
keys we're looking for. This reduces the number of iix and tix
223
files accessed when pushing 1 new revision, for instance.
224
(John Arbash Meinel)
225
226
* Signatures to transfer are calculated more efficiently in
227
``item_keys_introduced_by``. (Andrew Bennetts, John Arbash Meinel)
228
229
* The generic fetch code can once again copy revisions and signatures
230
without extracting them completely to fulltexts and then serializing
231
them back down into byte strings. This is a significant performance
232
improvement when fetching from a stacked branch.
233
(John Arbash Meinel, #300289)
234
235
* When making a large readv() request over ``bzr+ssh``, break up the
236
request into more manageable chunks. Because the RPC is not yet able
237
to stream, this helps keep us from buffering too much information at
238
once. (John Arbash Meinel)
239
240
BUG FIXES:
241
242
* Better message when the user needs to set their Launchpad ID.
243
(Martin Pool, #289148)
244
245
* ``bzr commit --local`` doesn't access the master branch anymore.
246
This fixes a regression introduced in 1.9. (Marius Kruger, #299313)
247
248
* Don't call the system ``chdir()`` with an empty path. Sun OS seems
249
to give an error in that case. Also, don't count on ``getcwd()``
250
being able to allocate a new buffer, which is a gnu extension.
251
(John Arbash Meinel, Martin Pool, Harry Hirsch, #297831)
252
253
* Don't crash when requesting log --forward <file> for a revision range
254
starting with a dotted revno.
255
(Vincent Ladeuil, #300055)
256
257
* Don't create text deltas spanning stacked repositories; this could
258
cause "Revision X not present in Y" when later accessing them.
259
(Martin Pool, #288751)
260
261
* Pack repositories are now able to reload the pack listing and retry
262
the current operation if another action causes the data to be
263
repacked. (John Arbash Meinel, #153786)
264
265
* PermissionDenied errors from smart servers no longer cause
266
"PermissionDenied: "None"" on the client.
267
(Andrew Bennetts, #299254)
268
269
* Pushing to a stacked pack repository now batches writes, the same
270
way writes are batched to ordinary pack repository. This makes
271
pushing to a stacked branch over the network much faster.
272
(Andrew Bennetts, #294479)
273
274
* TooManyConcurrentRequests no longer occur when a fetch fails and
275
tries to abort a write group. This allows the root cause (e.g. a
276
network interruption) to be reported. (Andrew Bennetts, #297014)
277
278
* RemoteRepository.get_parent_map now uses fallback repositories.
279
(Aaron Bentley, #297991?, #293679?)
280
281
API CHANGES:
282
283
* ``CommitBuilder`` now validates the strings it will be committing,
284
to ensure that they do not have characters that will not be properly
285
round-tripped. For now, it just checks for characters that are
286
invalid in the XML form. (John Arbash Meinel, #295161)
287
288
* Constructor parameters for NewPack (internal to pack repositories)
289
have changed incompatibly.
290
291
* ``Repository.abort_write_group`` now accepts an optional
292
``suppress_errors`` flag. Repository implementations that override
293
``abort_write_group`` will need to be updated to accept the new
294
argument. Subclasses that only override ``_abort_write_group``
295
don't need to change.
296
297
* Transport implementations must provide copy_tree_to_transport. A default
298
implementation is provided for Transport subclasses.
299
300
TESTING:
301
302
* ``bzr selftest`` now fails if no doctests are found in a module
303
that's expected to have them. (Martin Pool)
304
305
* Doctests now only report the first failure. (Martin Pool)
306
307
308
bzr 1.9 2008-11-07
309
------------------
310
311
This release of Bazaar adds a new repository format, ``1.9``, with smaller
312
and more efficient index files. This format can be specified when
313
creating a new repository, or used to losslessly upgrade an existing
314
repository. bzr 1.9 also speeds most operations over the smart server
315
protocol, makes annotate faster, and uses less memory when making
316
checkouts or pulling large amounts of data.
317
318
BUG FIXES:
319
320
* Fix "invalid property value 'branch-nick' for None" regression with
321
branches bound to svn branches. (Martin Pool, #293440)
322
323
* Fix SSL/https on Python2.6. (Vincent Ladeuil, #293054)
324
325
* ``SFTPTransport.readv()`` had a bug when requests were out-of-order.
326
This only triggers some-of-the-time on Knit format repositories.
327
(John Arbash Meinel, #293746)
328
329
330
bzr 1.9rc1 2008-10-31
331
---------------------
332
333
NEW FEATURES:
334
335
* New Branch hook ``transform_fallback_location`` allows a function to
336
be called when looking up the stacked source. (Michael Hudson)
337
338
* New repository formats ``1.9`` and ``1.9-rich-root``. These have all
339
the functionality of ``1.6``, but use the new btree indexes.
340
These indexes are both smaller and faster for access to historical
341
information. (John Arbash Meinel)
342
343
IMPROVEMENTS:
344
345
* ``BTreeIndex`` code now is able to prefetch extra pages to help tune
346
the tradeoff between bandwidth and latency. Should be tuned
347
appropriately to not impact commands which need minimal information,
348
but provide a significant boost to ones that need more context. Only
349
has a direct impact on the ``--development2`` format which uses
350
btree's for the indexes. (John Arbash Meinel)
351
352
* ``bzr dump-btree`` is a hidden command introduced to allow dumping
353
the contents of a compressed btree file. (John Arbash Meinel)
354
355
* ``bzr pack`` now tells the index builders to optimize for size. For
356
btree index repositories, this can save 25% of the index size
357
(mostly in the text indexes). (John Arbash Meinel)
358
359
* ``bzr push`` to an existing branch or repository on a smart server
360
is faster, due to Bazaar making more use of the ``get_parent_map``
361
RPC when querying the remote branch's revision graph.
362
(Andrew Bennetts)
363
364
* default username for bzr+ssh and sftp can be configured in
365
authentication.conf. (Aaron Bentley)
366
367
* launchpad-login now provides a default username for bzr+ssh and sftp
368
URLs, allowing username-free URLs to work for everyone. (Aaron Bentley)
369
370
* ``lp:`` lookups no longer include usernames, making them shareable and
371
shorter. (Aaron Bentley)
372
373
* New ``PackRepository.autopack`` smart server RPC, which does
374
autopacking entirely on the server. This is much faster than
375
autopacking via plain file methods, which downloads a large amount
376
of pack data and then re-uploads the same pack data into a single
377
file. This fixes a major (although infrequent) cause of lengthy
378
delays when using a smart server. For example, pushing the 10th
379
revision to a repository with 9 packs now takes 44 RPCs rather than
380
179, and much less bandwidth too. This requires Bazaar 1.9 on both
381
the client and the server, otherwise the client will fallback to the
382
slower method. (Andrew Bennetts)
383
384
BUG FIXES:
385
386
* A failure to load a plugin due to an IncompatibleAPI exception is
387
now correctly reported. (Robert Collins, #279451)
388
389
* API versioning support now has a multiple-version checking api
390
``require_any_api``. (Robert Collins, #279447)
391
392
* ``bzr branch --stacked`` from a smart server to a standalone branch
393
works again. This fixes a regression in 1.7 and 1.8.
394
(Andrew Bennetts, #270397)
395
396
* ``bzr co`` uses less memory. It used to unpack the entire WT into
397
memory before writing it to disk. This was a little bit faster, but
398
consumed lots of memory. (John Arbash Meinel, #269456)
399
400
* ``bzr missing --quiet`` no longer prints messages about whether
401
there are missing revisions. The exit code indicates whether there
402
were or not. (Martin Pool, #284748)
403
404
* Fixes to the ``annotate`` code. The fast-path which re-used the
405
stored deltas was accidentally disabled all the time, instead of
406
only when a branch was stacked. Second, the code would accidentally
407
re-use a delta even if it wasn't against the left-parent, this
408
could only happen if ``bzr reconcile`` decided that the parent
409
ordering was incorrect in the file graph. (John Arbash Meinel)
410
411
* "Permission denied" errors that occur when pushing a new branch to a
412
smart server no longer cause tracebacks. (Andrew Bennetts, #278673)
413
414
* Some compatibility fixes for building the extensions with MSVC and
415
for python2.4. (John Arbash Meinel, #277484)
416
417
* The index logic is now able to reload the list of pack files if and
418
index ends up disappearing. We still don't reload if the pack data
419
itself goes missing after checking the index. This bug appears as a
420
transient failure (file not found) when another process is writing
421
to the repository. (John Arbash Meinel, #153786)
422
423
* ``bzr switch`` and ``bzr bind`` will now update the branch nickname if
424
it was previously set. All checkouts will now refer to the bound branch
425
for a nickname if one was not explicitly set.
426
(Marius Kruger, #230903)
427
428
DOCUMENTATION:
429
430
* Improved hook documentation. (Michael Ernst)
431
432
API CHANGES:
433
434
* commands.plugins_cmds is now a CommandRegistry, not a dict.
435
436
INTERNALS:
437
438
* New AuthenticationConfig.set_credentials method allows easy programmatic
439
configuration of authetication credentials.

bzr 1.8 2008-10-16
443
------------------
444
445
Bazaar 1.8 includes several fixes that improve working tree performance,
446
display of revision logs, and merges. The bzr testsuite now passes on OS
447
X and Python 2.6, and almost completely passes on Windows. The
448
smartserver code has gained several bug fixes and performance
449
improvements, and can now run server-side hooks within an http server.
450
451
BUG FIXES:
452
453
* Fix "Must end write group" error when another error occurs during
454
``bzr push``. (Andrew Bennetts, #230902)
455
456
PORTABILITY:
457
458
* Some Pyrex versions require the WIN32 macro defined to compile on
459
that platform. (Alexander Belchenko, Martin Pool, #277481)
460
461
462
bzr 1.8rc1 2008-10-07
463
---------------------
464
465
CHANGES:
466
467
* ``bzr log file`` has been changed. It now uses a different method
468
for determining which revisions to show as merging the changes to
469
the file. It now only shows revisions which merged the change
470
towards your mainline. This simplifies the output, makes it faster,
471
and reduces memory consumption. (John Arbash Meinel)
472
473
* ``bzr merge`` now defaults to having ``--reprocess`` set, whenever
474
``--show-base`` is not supplied. (John Arbash Meinel)
475
476
* ``bzr+http//`` will now optionally load plugins and write logs on the
477
server. (Marius Kruger)
478
479
* ``bzrlib._dirstate_helpers_c.pyx`` does not compile correctly with
480
Pyrex 0.9.4.1 (it generates C code which causes segfaults). We
481
explicitly blacklist that version of the compiler for that
482
extension. Packaged versions will include .c files created with
483
pyrex >= 0.9.6 so it doesn't effect releases, only users running
484
from the source tree. (John Arbash Meinel, #276868)
485
486
FEATURES:
487
488
* bzr is now compatible with python-2.6. python-2.6 is not yet officially
489
supported (nor released, tests were conducted with the dev version of
490
python-2.6rc2), but all known problems have been fixed. Feedback
491
welcome.
492
(Vincent Ladeuil, #269535)
493
494
IMPROVEMENTS:
495
496
* ``bzr annotate`` will now include uncommitted changes from the local
497
working tree by default. Such uncommitted changes are given the
498
revision number they would get if a commit was done, followed with a
499
? to indicate that its not actually known. (Robert Collins, #3439)
500
501
* ``bzr branch`` now accepts a ``--standalone`` option, which creates a
502
standalone branch regardless of the presence of shared repositories.
503
(Daniel Watkins)
504
505
* ``bzr push`` is faster in the case there are no new revisions to
506
push. It is also faster if there are no tags in the local branch.
507
(Andrew Bennetts)
508
509
* File changes during a commit will update the tree stat cache.
510
(Robert Collins)
511
512
* Location aliases can now accept a trailing path. (Micheal Hudson)
513
514
* New hooks ``Lock.hooks`` when LockDirs are acquired and released.
515
(Robert Collins, MartinPool)
516
517
* Switching in heavyweight checkouts uses the master branch's context, not
518
the checkout's context. (Adrian Wilkins)
519
520
* ``status`` on large trees is now faster, due to optimisations in the
521
walkdirs code. Of particular note, the walkdirs code now performs
522
a temporary ``chdir()`` while reading a single directory; if your
523
platform has non thread-local current working directories (and is
524
not windows which has its own implementation), this may introduce a
525
race condition during concurrent uses of bzrlib. The bzrlib CLI
526
will not encounter this as it is single threaded for working tree
527
operations. (Robert Collins)
528
529
* The C extensions now build on python 2.4 (Robert Collins, #271939)
530
531
* The ``-Dhpss`` debug flag now reports the number of smart server
532
calls per medium to stderr. This is in addition to the existing
533
detailed logging to the .bzr.log trace file. (Andrew Bennetts)
534
535
BUG FIXES:
536
537
* Avoid random failures arising from misinterpreted ``errno`` values
538
in ``_readdir_pyx.read_dir``.
539
(Martin Pool, #279381)
540
541
* Branching from a shared repository on a smart server into a new
542
repository now preserves the repository format.
543
(Andrew Bennetts, #269214)
544
545
* ``bzr log`` now accepts a ``--change`` option.
546
(Vincent Ladeuil, #248427)
547
548
* ``bzr missing`` now accepts an ``--include-merges`` option.
549
(Vincent Ladeuil, #233817)
550
551
* Don't try to filter (internally) '.bzr' from the files to be deleted if
552
it's not there.
553
(Vincent Ladeuil, #272648)
554
555
* Fix '_in_buffer' AttributeError when using the -Dhpss debug flag.
556
(Andrew Bennetts)
557
558
* Fix TooManyConcurrentRequests errors caused by a connection failure
559
when doing ``bzr pull`` or ``bzr merge`` from a ``bzr+ssh`` URL.
560
(Andrew Bennetts, #246233)
561
562
* Fixed ``bzr st -r branch:PATH_TO_BRANCH`` where the other branch
563
is in a different repository than the current one.
564
(Lukáš Lalinský, #144421)
565
566
* Make the first line of the manpage preamble a comment again.
567
(David Futcher, #242106)
568
569
* Remove use of optional parameter in GSSAPI FTP support, since
570
it breaks newer versions of Python-Kerberos. (Jelmer Vernooij)
571
572
* The autopacking logic will now always create a single new pack from
573
all of the content which it deems is worth moving. This avoids the
574
'repack a single pack' bug and should result in better packing
575
overall. (John Arbash Meinel, #242510, #172644)
576
577
* Trivial documentation fix.
578
(John Arbash Meinel, #270471)
579
580
* ``bzr switch`` and ``bzr bind`` will now update the branch nickname if
581
it was previously set. All checkouts will now refer to the bound branch
582
for a nickname if one was not explicitly set.
583
(Marius Kruger, #230903)
584
585
DOCUMENTATION:
586
587
* Explain revision/range identifiers. (Daniel Clemente)
588
589
API CHANGES:
590
591
* ``CommitBuilder.record_entry_contents`` returns one more element in
592
its result tuple - an optional file system hash for the hash cache
593
to use. (Robert Collins)
594
595
* ``dirstate.DirState.update_entry`` will now only calculate the sha1
596
of a file if it is likely to be needed in determining the output
597
of iter_changes. (Robert Collins)
598
599
* The PackRepository, RepositoryPackCollection, NewPack classes have a
600
slightly changed interface to support different index types; as a
601
result other users of these classes need to supply the index types
602
they want. (Robert Collins)
603
604
TESTING:
605
606
* ``bzrlib.tests.repository_implementations`` has been renamed to
607
``bzrlib.tests.per_repository`` so that we have a common structure
608
(and it is shorter). (John Arbash Meinel, #239343)
609
610
* ``LocalTransport.abspath()`` now returns a drive letter if the
611
transport has one, fixing numerous tests on Windows.
612
(Mark Hammond)
613
614
* PreviewTree is now tested via intertree_implementations.
615
(Aaron Bentley)
616
617
* The full test suite is passing again on OSX.
618
(Guillermo Gonzalez, Vincent Ladeuil)
619
620
* The full test suite passes when run with ``-Eallow_debug``.
621
(Andrew Bennetts)
622
623
INTERNALS:
624
625
* A new hook, ``Branch.open``, has been added, which is called when
626
branch objects are opened. (Robert Collins)
627
628
* ``bzrlib.osutils._walkdirs_utf8`` has been refactored into common
629
tree walking, and modular directory listing code to aid future
630
performance optimisations and refactoring. (Robert Collins)
631
632
* ``bzrlib.trace.debug_memory`` can be used to get a quick memory dump
633
in the middle of processing. It only reports memory if
634
``/proc/PID/status`` is available. (John Arbash Meinel)
635
636
* New method ``RevisionSpec.as_tree`` for representing the revision
637
specifier as a revision tree object. (Lukáš Lalinský)
638
639
* New race-free method on MutableTree ``get_file_with_stat`` for use
640
when generating stat cache results. (Robert Collins)
641
642
* New win32utils.get_local_appdata_location() provides access to a local
643
directory for storing data. (Mark Hammond)
644
645
* To be compatible with python-2.6 a few new rules should be
646
observed. 'message' attribute can't be used anymore in exception
647
classes, 'sha' and 'md5' modules have been deprecated (use
648
osutils.[md5|sha]), object__init__ and object.__new__ don't accept
649
parameters anymore.

bzr 1.7.1 2008-10-01
654
--------------------
655
656
No changes from 1.7.1rc1.
657
658
659
bzr 1.7.1rc1 2008-09-24
660
-----------------------
661
662
This release just includes an update to how the merge algorithm handles
663
file paths when we encounter complex history.
664
665
FEATURES:
666
667
* If we encounter a criss-cross in history, use information from
668
direct Least Common Ancestors to resolve inventory shape (locations
669
of files, adds, deletes, etc). This is similar in concept to using
670
``--lca`` for merging file texts, only applied to paths.
671
(John Arbash Meinel)
672
673
674
bzr 1.7 2008-09-23
675
------------------
676
677
This release includes many bug fixes and a few performance and feature
678
improvements. ``bzr rm`` will now scan for missing files and remove them,
679
like how ``bzr add`` scans for unknown files and adds them. A bit more
680
polish has been applied to the stacking code. The b-tree indexing code has
681
been brought in, with an eye on using it in a future repository format.
682
There are only minor installer changes since bzr-1.7rc2.
683
684
FEATURES
685
686
* Some small updates to the win32 installer. Include localization
687
files found in plugins, and include the builtin distutils as part of
688
packaging qbzr. (Mark Hammond)
689
690
691
bzr 1.7rc2 2008-09-17
692
---------------------
693
694
A few bug fixes from 1.7rc1. The biggest change is a new
695
``RemoteBranch.get_stacked_on_url`` rpc. This allows clients that are
696
trying to access a Stacked branch over the smart protocol, to properly
697
connect to the stacked-on location.
698
699
BUG FIXES:
700
701
* Branching from a shared repository on a smart server into a new
702
repository now preserves the repository format.
703
(Andrew Bennetts, #269214)
704
705
* Branching from a stacked branch via ``bzr+ssh`` can properly connect
706
to the stacked-on branch. (Martin Pool, #261315)
707
708
* ``bzr init`` no longer re-opens the BzrDir multiple times.
709
(Vincent Ladeuil)
710
711
* Fix '_in_buffer' AttributeError when using the -Dhpss debug flag.
712
(Andrew Bennetts)

715
bzr 1.7rc1 2008-09-09
716
---------------------
717
718
This release candidate for bzr 1.7 has several bug fixes and a few
719
performance and feature improvements. ``bzr rm`` will now scan for
720
missing files and remove them, like how ``bzr add`` scans for unknown
721
files and adds them. A bit more polish has been applied to the stacking
722
code. The b-tree indexing code has been brought in, with an eye on using
723
it in a future repository format.
724
725
726
CHANGES:
727
728
* ``bzr export`` can now export a subdirectory of a project.
729
(Robert Collins)
730
731
* ``bzr remove-tree`` will now refuse to remove a tree with uncommitted
732
changes, unless the ``--force`` option is specified.
733
(Lukáš Lalinský, #74101)
734
735
* ``bzr rm`` will now scan for files that are missing and remove just
736
them automatically, much as ``bzr add`` scans for new files that
737
are not ignored and adds them automatically. (Robert Collins)
738
739
FEATURES
740
741
* Support for GSSAPI authentication when using FTP as documented in
742
RFC2228. (Jelmer Vernooij, #49623)
743
744
* Add support for IPv6 in the smart server. (Jelmer Vernooij, #165014)
745
746
IMPROVEMENTS:
747
748
* A url like ``log+file:///tmp`` will log all access to that Transport
749
to ``.bzr.log``, which may help in debugging or profiling.
750
(Martin Pool)
751
752
* ``bzr branch`` and ``bzr push`` use the default stacking policy if the
753
branch format supports it. (Aaron Bentley)
754
755
* ``bzr init`` and ``bzr init-repo`` will now print out the same as
756
``bzr info`` if it completed successfully.
757
(Marius Kruger)
758
759
* ``bzr uncommit`` logs the old tip revision id, and displays how to
760
restore the branch to that tip using ``bzr pull``. This allows you
761
to recover if you realize you uncommitted the wrong thing.
762
(John Arbash Meinel)
763
764
* Fix problems in accessing stacked repositories over ``bzr://``.
765
(Martin Pool, #261315)
766
767
* ``SFTPTransport.readv()`` was accidentally using ``list += string``,
768
which 'works', but adds each character separately to the list,
769
rather than using ``list.append(string)``. Fixing this makes the
770
SFTP transport a little bit faster (~20%) and use a bit less memory.
771
(John Arbash Meinel)
772
773
* When reading index files, if we happen to read the whole file in a
774
single request treat it as a ``_buffer_all`` request. This happens
775
most often on small indexes over remote transports, where we default
776
to reading 64kB. It saves a round trip for each small index during
777
fetch operations. Also, if we have read more than 50% of an index
778
file, trigger a ``_buffer_all`` on the next request. This works
779
around some inefficiencies because reads don't fall neatly on page
780
boundaries, so we would ignore those bytes, but request them again
781
later. This could trigger a total read size of more than the whole
782
file. (John Arbash Meinel)
783
784
BUG FIXES:
785
786
* ``bzr rm`` is now aliased to ``bzr del`` for the convenience of svn
787
users. (Robert Collins, #205416)
788
789
* Catch the infamous "select/poll returned error" which occurs when
790
pycurl try to send a body request to an HTTP/1.0 server which has
791
already refused to handle the request. (Vincent Ladeuil, #225020)
792
793
* Fix ``ObjectNotLocked`` errors when using various commands
794
(including ``bzr cat`` and ``bzr annotate``) in combination with a
795
smart server URL. (Andrew Bennetts, #237067)
796
797
* ``FTPTransport.stat()`` would return ``0000`` as the permission bits
798
for the containing ``.bzr/`` directory (it does not implement
799
permissions). This would cause us to set all subdirectories to
800
``0700`` and files to ``0600`` rather than leaving them unmodified.
801
Now we ignore ``0000`` as the permissions and assume they are
802
invalid. (John Arbash Meinel, #259855)
803
804
* Merging from a previously joined branch will no longer cause
805
a traceback. (Jelmer Vernooij, #203376)
806
807
* Pack operations on windows network shares will work even with large
808
files. (Robert Collins, #255656)
809
810
* Running ``bzr st PATH_TO_TREE`` will no longer suppress merge
811
status. Status is also about 7% faster on mozilla sized trees
812
when the path to the root of the tree has been given. Users of
813
the internal ``show_tree_status`` function should be aware that
814
the show_pending flag is now authoritative for showing pending
815
merges, as it was originally. (Robert Collins, #225204)
816
817
* Set valid default _param_name for Option so that ListOption can embed
818
'-' in names. (Vincent Ladeuil, #263249)
819
820
* Show proper error rather than traceback when an unknown revision
821
id is specified to ``bzr cat-revision``. (Jelmer Vernooij, #175569)
822
823
* Trailing text in the dirstate file could cause the C dirstate parser
824
to try to allocate an invalid amount of memory. We now properly
825
check and test for parsing a dirstate with invalid trailing data.
826
(John Arbash Meinel, #186014)
827
828
* Unexpected error responses from a smart server no longer cause the
829
client to traceback. (Andrew Bennetts, #263527)
830
831
* Use a Windows api function to get a Unicode host name, rather than
832
assuming the host name is ascii.
833
(Mark Hammond, John Arbash Meinel, #256550)
834
835
* ``WorkingTree4`` trees will now correctly report missing-and-new
836
paths in the output of ``iter_changes``. (Robert Collins)
837
838
DOCUMENTATION:
839
840
* Updated developer documentation. (Martin Pool)
841
842
API CHANGES:
843
844
* Exporters now take 4 parameters. (Robert Collins)
845
846
* ``Tree.iter_changes`` will now return False for the content change
847
field when a file is missing in the basis tree and not present in
848
the target tree. Previously it returned True unconditionally.
849
(Robert Collins)
850
851
* The deprecated ``Branch.abspath`` and unimplemented
852
``Branch.rename_one`` and ``Branch.move`` were removed. (Jelmer Vernooij)
853
854
* BzrDir.clone_on_transport implementations must now accept a stacked_on
855
parameter. (Aaron Bentley)
856
857
* BzrDir.cloning_metadir implementations must now take a require_stacking
858
parameter. (Aaron Bentley)
859
860
TESTING:
861
862
* ``addCleanup`` now takes ``*arguments`` and ``**keyword_arguments``
863
which are then passed to the cleanup callable as it is run. In
864
addition, addCleanup no longer requires that the callables passed to
865
it be unique. (Jonathan Lange)
866
867
* Fix some tests that fail on Windows because files are deleted while
868
still in use.
869
(Mark Hammond)
870
871
* ``selftest``'s ``--starting-with`` option can now use predefined
872
prefixes so that one can say ``bzr selftest -s bp.loom`` instead of
873
``bzr selftest -s bzrlib.plugins.loom``. (Vincent Ladeuil)
874
875
* ``selftest``'s ``--starting-with`` option now accepts multiple values.
876
(Vincent Ladeuil)
877
878
INTERNALS:
879
880
* A new plugin interface, ``bzrlib.log.log_adapters``, has been added.
881
This allows dynamic log output filtering by plugins.
882
(Robert Collins)
883
884
* ``bzrlib.btree_index`` is now available, providing a b-tree index
885
layer. The design is memory conservative (limited memory cache),
886
faster to seek (approx 100 nodes per page, gives 100-way fan out),
887
and stores compressed pages allowing more keys per page.
888
(Robert Collins, John Arbash Meinel)
889
890
* ``bzrlib.diff.DiffTree.show_diff`` now skips changes where the kind
891
is unknown in both source and target.
892
(Robert Collins, Aaron Bentley)
893
894
* ``GraphIndexBuilder.add_node`` and ``BTreeBuilder`` have been
895
streamlined a bit. This should make creating large indexes faster.
896
(In benchmarking, it now takes less time to create a BTree index than
897
it takes to read the GraphIndex one.) (John Arbash Meinel)
898
899
* Mail clients for `bzr send` are now listed in a registry. This
900
allows plugins to add new clients by registering them with
901
``bzrlib.mail_client.mail_client_registry``. All of the built-in
902
clients now use this mechanism. (Neil Martinsen-Burrell)

905
bzr 1.6.1 2008-09-05
906
--------------------
907
908
A couple regressions were found in the 1.6 release. There was a
909
performance issue when using ``bzr+ssh`` to branch large repositories,
910
and some problems with stacking and ``rich-root`` capable repositories.
911
912
913
bzr 1.6.1rc2 2008-09-03
914
-----------------------
915
916
BUG FIXES:
917
918
* Copying between ``rich-root`` and ``rich-root-pack`` (and vice
919
versa) was accidentally using the inter-model fetcher, instead of
920
recognizing that both were 'rich root' formats.
921

changes was using an O(N^2) buffering algorithm, so for large projects it
929
would cause memory thrashing. There is also a specific problem with the
930
``--1.6-rich-root`` format, which prevented stacking on top of
931
``--rich-root-pack`` repositories, and could allow users to accidentally
932
fetch experimental data (``-subtree``) without representing it properly.
933
The ``--1.6-rich-root`` format has been deprecated and users are
934
recommended to upgrade to ``--1.6.1-rich-root`` immediately. Also we
935
re-introduced a workaround for users who have repositories with incorrect
936
nodes (not possible if you only used official releases).
937
I should also clarify that none of this is data loss level issues, but
938
still sufficient enough to warrant an updated release.
939
940
BUG FIXES:
941
942
* ``RemoteTransport.readv()`` was being inefficient about how it
943
buffered the readv data and processed it. It would keep appending to
944
the same string (causing many copies) and then pop bytes out of the
945
start of the string (causing more copies).
946
With this patch "bzr+ssh://local" can improve dramatically,
947
especially for projects with large files.
948
(John Arbash Meinel)
949
950
* Revision texts were always meant to be stored as fulltexts. There
951
was a bug in a bzr.dev version that would accidentally create deltas
952
when copying from a Pack repo to a Knit repo. This has been fixed,
953
but to support those repositories, we know always request full texts
954
for Revision texts. (John Arbash Meinel, #261339)
955
956
* The previous ``--1.6-rich-root`` format used an incorrect xml
957
serializer, which would accidentally support fetching from a
958
repository that supported subtrees, even though the local one would
959
not. We deprecated that format, and introduced a new one that uses
960
the correct serializer ``--1.6.1-rich-root``.

bzr 1.6 2008-08-25
965
------------------
966
967
Finally, the long awaited bzr 1.6 has been released. This release includes
968
new features like Stacked Branches, improved weave merge, and an updated
969
server protocol (now on v3) which will allow for better cross version
970
compatibility. With this release we have deprecated Knit format
971
repositories, and recommend that users upgrade them, we will continue to
972
support reading and writing them for the forseeable future, but we will
973
not be tuning them for performance as pack repositories have proven to be
974
better at scaling. This will also be the first release to bundle
975
TortoiseBzr in the standalone Windows installer.
976
977
978
bzr 1.6rc5 2008-08-19
979
---------------------
980
981
BUG FIXES:
982
983
* Disable automatic detection of stacking based on a containing
984
directory of the target. It interacted badly with push, and needs a
985
bit more work to get the edges polished before it should happen
986
automatically. (John Arbash Meinel, #259275)
987
(This change was reverted when merged to bzr.dev)
988
989
990
bzr 1.6rc4 2008-08-18
991
---------------------
992
993
BUG FIXES:
994
995
* Fix a regression in knit => pack fetching. We had a logic
996
inversion, causing the fetch to insert fulltexts in random order,
997
rather than preserving deltas. (John Arbash Meinel, #256757)
998
999
1000
bzr 1.6rc3 2008-08-14
1001
---------------------
1002
1003
CHANGES:
1004
1005
* Disable reading ``.bzrrules`` as a per-branch rule preferences
1006
file. The feature was not quite ready for a full release.
1007
(Robert Collins)
1008
1009
IMPROVEMENTS:
1010
1011
* Update the windows installer to bundle TortoiseBzr and ``qbzr``
1012
into the standalone installer. This will be the first official
1013
windows release that installs Tortoise by default.
1014
(Mark Hammond)
1015
1016
BUG FIXES:
1017
1018
* Fix a regression in ``bzr+http`` support. There was a missing
1019
function (``_read_line``) that needed to be carried over from
1020
``bzr+ssh`` support. (Andrew Bennetts)
1021
1022
* ``GraphIndex`` objects will internally read an entire index if more
1023
than 1/20th of their keyspace is requested in a single operation.
1024
This largely mitigates a performance regression in ``bzr log FILE``
1025
and completely corrects the performance regression in ``bzr log``.
1026
The regression was caused by removing an accomodation which had been
1027
supporting the index format in use. A newer index format is in
1028
development which is substantially faster. (Robert Collins)
1029
1030
1031
bzr 1.6rc2 2008-08-13
1032
---------------------
1033
1034
This release candidate has a few minor bug fixes, and some regression
1035
fixes for Windows.
1036
1037
BUG FIXES:
1038
1039
* ``bzr upgrade`` on remote branches accessed via bzr:// and
1040
bzr+ssh:// now works. (Andrew Bennetts)
1041
1042
* Change the ``get_format_description()`` strings for
1043
``RepositoryFormatKnitPack5`` et al to be single line messages.
1044
(Aaron Bentley)
1045
1046
* Fix for a regression on Win32 where we would try to call
1047
``os.listdir()`` on a file and not catch the exception properly.
1048
(Windows raises a different exception.) This would manifest in
1049
places like ``bzr rm file`` or ``bzr switch``.
1050
(Mark Hammond, John Arbash Meinel)
1051
1052
* ``Inventory.copy()`` was failing to set the revision property for
1053
the root entry. (Jelmer Vernooij)
1054
1055
* sftp transport: added missing ``FileExists`` case to
1056
``_translate_io_exception`` (Christophe Troestler, #123475)
1057
1058
* The help for ``bzr ignored`` now suggests ``bzr ls --ignored`` for
1059
scripting use. (Robert Collins, #3834)
1060
1061
* The default ``annotate`` logic will now always assign the
1062
last-modified value of a line to one of the revisions that modified
1063
it, rather than a merge revision. This would happen when both sides
1064
claimed to have modified the line resulting in the same text. The
1065
choice is arbitrary but stable, so merges in different directions
1066
will get the same results. (John Arbash Meinel, #232188)
1067
1068
1069
bzr 1.6rc1 2008-08-06
1070
---------------------
1071
1072
This release candidate for bzr 1.6 solidifies the new branch stacking
1073
feature. Bazaar now recommends that users upgrade all knit repositories,
1074
because later formats are much faster. However, we plan to continue read/write and
1075
upgrade support for knit repostories for the forseeable future. Several
1076
other bugs and performance issues were fixed.
1077
1078
CHANGES:
1079
1080
* Knit format repositories are deprecated and bzr will now emit
1081
warnings whenever it encounters one. Use ``bzr upgrade`` to upgrade
1082
knit repositories to pack format. (Andrew Bennetts)
1083
1084
IMPROVEMENTS:
1085
1086
* ``bzr check`` can now be told which elements at a location it should
1087
check. (Daniel Watkins)
1088
1089
* Commit now supports ``--exclude`` (or ``-x``) to exclude some files
1090
from the commit. (Robert Collins, #3117)
1091
1092
* Fetching data between repositories that have the same model but no
1093
optimised fetcher will not reserialise all the revisions, increasing
1094
performance. (Robert Collins, John Arbash Meinel)
1095
1096
* Give a more specific error when target branch is not reachable.
1097
(James Westby)
1098
1099
* Implemented a custom ``walkdirs_utf8`` implementation for win32.
1100
This uses a pyrex extension to get direct access to the
1101
``FindFirstFileW`` style apis, rather than using ``listdir`` +
1102
``lstat``. Shows a very strong improvement in commands like
1103
``status`` and ``diff`` which have to iterate the working tree.
1104
Anywhere from 2x-6x faster depending on the size of the tree (bigger
1105
trees, bigger benefit.) (John Arbash Meinel)
1106
1107
* New registry for log properties handles and the method in
1108
LongLogFormatter to display the custom properties returned by the
1109
registered handlers. (Guillermo Gonzalez, #162469)
1110
1111
BUG FIXES:
1112
1113
* Add more tests that stacking does not create deltas spanning
1114
physical repository boundaries.
1115
(Martin Pool, #252428)
1116
1117
* Better message about incompatible repositories.
1118
(Martin Pool, #206258)
1119
1120
* ``bzr branch --stacked`` ensures the destination branch format can
1121
support stacking, even if the origin does not.
1122
(Martin Pool)
1123
1124
* ``bzr export`` no longer exports ``.bzrrules``.
1125
(Ian Clatworthy)
1126
1127
* ``bzr serve --directory=/`` now correctly allows the whole
1128
filesystem to be accessed on Windows, not just the root of the drive
1129
that Python is running from.
1130
(Adrian Wilkins, #240910)
1131
1132
* Deleting directories by hand before running ``bzr rm`` will not
1133
cause subsequent errors in ``bzr st`` and ``bzr commit``.
1134
(Robert Collins, #150438)
1135
1136
* Fix a test case that was failing if encoding wasn't UTF-8.
1137
(John Arbash Meinel, #247585)
1138
1139
* Fix "no buffer space available" error when branching with the new
1140
smart server protocol to or from Windows.
1141
(Andrew Bennetts, #246180)
1142
1143
* Fixed problem in branching from smart server.
1144
(#249256, Michael Hudson, Martin Pool)
1145
1146
* Handle a file turning in to a directory in TreeTransform.
1147
(James Westby, #248448)
1148
1149
API CHANGES:
1150
1151
* ``MutableTree.commit`` has an extra optional keywork parameter
1152
``exclude`` that will be unconditionally supplied by the command
1153
line UI - plugins that add tree formats may need an update.
1154
(Robert Collins)
1155
1156
* The API minimum version for plugin compatibility has been raised to
1157
1.6 - there are significant changes throughout the code base.
1158
(Robert Collins)
1159
1160
* The generic fetch code now uses three attributes on Repository objects
1161
to control fetch. The streams requested are controlled via :
1162
``_fetch_order`` and ``_fetch_uses_deltas``. Setting these
1163
appropriately allows different repository implementations to recieve
1164
data in their optimial form. If the ``_fetch_reconcile`` is set then
1165
a reconcile operation is triggered at the end of the fetch.
1166
(Robert Collins)
1167
1168
* The ``put_on_disk`` and ``get_tar_item`` methods in
1169
``InventoryEntry`` were deprecated. (Ian Clatworthy)
1170
1171
* ``Repository.is_shared`` doesn't take a read lock. It didn't
1172
need one in the first place (nobody cached the value, and
1173
``RemoteRepository`` wasn't taking one either). This saves a round
1174
trip when probing Pack repositories, as they read the ``pack-names``
1175
file when locked. And during probe, locking the repo isn't very
1176
useful. (John Arbash Meinel)
1177
1178
INTERNALS:
1179
1180
* ``bzrlib.branchbuilder.BranchBuilder`` is now much more capable of
1181
putting together a real history without having to create a full
1182
WorkingTree. It is recommended that tests that are not directly
1183
testing the WorkingTree use BranchBuilder instead. See
1184
``BranchBuilder.build_snapshot`` or
1185
``TestCaseWithMemoryTree.make_branch_builder``. (John Arbash Meinel)
1186
1187
* ``bzrlib.builtins.internal_tree_files`` broken into two giving a new
1188
helper ``safe_relpath_files`` - used by the new ``exclude``
1189
parameter to commit. (Robert Collins)
1190
1191
* Make it easier to introduce new WorkingTree formats.
1192
(Ian Clatworthy)
1193
1194
* The code for exporting trees was refactored not to use the
1195
deprecated ``InventoryEntry`` methods. (Ian Clatworthy)
1196
1197
* RuleSearchers return () instead of [] now when there are no matches.
1198
(Ian Clatworthy)

1201
bzr 1.6beta3 2008-07-17
1202
-----------------------
1203
1204
This release adds a new 'stacked branches' feature allowing branches to
1205
share storage without being in the same repository or on the same machine.
1206
(See the user guide for more details.) It also adds a new hook, improved
1207
weaves, aliases for related locations, faster bzr+ssh push, and several
1208
bug fixes.
1209
1210
FEATURES:
1211
1212
* New ``pre_change_branch_tip`` hook that is called before the
1213
branch tip is moved, while the branch is write-locked. See the User
1214
Reference for signature details. (Andrew Bennetts)
1215
1216
* Rule-based preferences can now be defined for selected files in
1217
selected branches, allowing commands and plugins to provide
1218
custom behaviour for files matching defined patterns.
1219
See ``Rule-based preferences`` (part of ``Configuring Bazaar``)
1220
in the User Guide and ``bzr help rules`` for more information.
1221
(Ian Clatworthy)
1222
1223
* Sites may suggest a branch to stack new branches on. (Aaron Bentley)
1224
1225
* Stacked branches are now supported. See ``bzr help branch`` and
1226
``bzr help push``. Branches must be in the ``development1`` format
1227
to stack, though the stacked-on branch can be of any format.
1228
(Robert Collins)
1229
1230
IMPROVEMENTS:
1231
1232
* ``bzr export --format=tgz --root=NAME -`` to export a gzipped tarball
1233
to stdout; also ``tar`` and ``tbz2``.
1234
(Martin Pool)
1235
1236
* ``bzr (re)merge --weave`` will now use a standard Weave algorithm,
1237
rather than the annotation-based merge it was using. It does so by
1238
building up a Weave of the important texts, without needing to build
1239
the full ancestry. (John Arbash Meinel, #238895)
1240
1241
* ``bzr send`` documents and better supports ``emacsclient`` (proper
1242
escaping of mail headers and handling of the MUA Mew).
1243
(Christophe Troestler)
1244
1245
* Remembered locations can be specified by aliases, e.g. :parent, :public,
1246
:submit. (Aaron Bentley)
1247
1248
* The smart protocol now has improved support for setting branches'
1249
revision info directly. This makes operations like push
1250
faster. The new request method name is
1251
``Branch.set_last_revision_ex``. (Andrew Bennetts)
1252
1253
BUG FIXES:
1254
1255
* Bazaar is now able to be a client to the web server of IIS 6 and 7.
1256
The broken implementations of RFC822 in Python and RFC2046 in IIS
1257
combined with boundary-line checking in Bazaar previously made this
1258
impossible. (NB, IIS 5 does not suffer from this problem).
1259
(Adrian Wilkins, #247585)
1260
1261
* ``bzr log --long`` with a ghost in your mainline now handles that
1262
ghost properly. (John Arbash Meinel, #243536)
1263
1264
* ``check`` handles the split-up .bzr layout correctly, so no longer
1265
requires a branch to be present.
1266
(Daniel Watkins, #64783)
1267
1268
* Clearer message about how to set the PYTHONPATH if bzrlib can't be
1269
loaded.
1270
(Martin Pool, #205230)
1271
1272
* Errors about missing libraries are now shown without a traceback,
1273
and with a suggestion to install the library. The full traceback is
1274
still in ``.bzr.log`` and can be shown with ``-Derror``.
1275
(Martin Pool, #240161)
1276
1277
* Fetch from a stacked branch copies all required data.
1278
(Aaron Bentley, #248506)
1279
1280
* Handle urls such as ftp://user@host.com@www.host.com where the user
1281
name contains an @.
1282
(Neil Martinsen-Burrell, #228058)
1283
1284
* ``needs_read_lock`` and ``needs_write_lock`` now suppress an error during
1285
``unlock`` if there was an error in the original function. This helps
1286
most when there is a failure with a smart server action, since often the
1287
connection closes and we cannot unlock.
1288
(Andrew Bennetts, John Arbash Meinel, #125784)
1289
1290
* Obsolete hidden command ``bzr fetch`` removed.
1291
(Martin Pool, #172870)
1292
1293
* Raise the correct exception when doing ``-rbefore:0`` or ``-c0``.
1294
(John Arbash Meinel, #239933)
1295
1296
* You can now compare file revisions in Windows diff programs from
1297
Cygwin Bazaar.
1298
(Matt McClure, #209281)
1299
1300
* revision_history now tolerates mainline ghosts for Branch format 6.
1301
(Aaron Bentley, #235055)
1302
1303
* Set locale from environment for third party libs.
1304
(Martin von Gagern, #128496)
1305
1306
DOCUMENTATION:
1307
1308
* Added *Using stacked branches* to the User Guide.
1309
(Ian Clatworthy)
1310
1311
* Updated developer documentation.
1312
(Martin Pool)
1313
1314
TESTING:
1315
1316
* ``-Dmemory`` will cause /proc/PID/status to be catted before bzr
1317
exits, allowing low-key analysis of peak memory use. (Robert Collins)
1318
1319
* ``TestCaseWithTransport.make_branch_and_tree`` tries harder to return
1320
a tree with a ``branch`` attribute of the right format. This was
1321
preventing some ``RemoteBranch`` tests from actually running with
1322
``RemoteBranch`` instances. (Andrew Bennetts)
1323
1324
API CHANGES:
1325
1326
* Removed ``Repository.text_store``, ``control_store``, etc. Instead,
1327
there are new attributes ``texts, inventories, revisions,
1328
signatures``, each of which is a ``VersionedFiles``. See the
1329
Repository docstring for more details.
1330
(Robert Collins)
1331
1332
* ``Branch.pull`` now accepts an ``_override_hook_target`` optional
1333
parameter. If you have a subclass of ``Branch`` that overrides
1334
``pull`` then you should add this parameter. (Andrew Bennetts)
1335
1336
* ``bzrlib.check.check()`` has been deprecated in favour of the more
1337
aptly-named ``bzrlib.check.check_branch()``.
1338
(Daniel Watkins)
1339
1340
* ``Tree.print_file`` and ``Repository.print_file`` are deprecated.
1341
These methods are bad APIs because they write directly to sys.stdout.
1342
bzrlib does not use them internally, and there are no direct tests
1343
for them. (Alexander Belchenko)
1344
1345
INTERNALS:
1346
1347
* ``cat`` command no longer uses ``Tree.print_file()`` internally.
1348
(Alexander Belchenko)
1349
1350
* New class method ``BzrDir.open_containing_tree_branch_or_repository``
1351
which eases the discovery of the tree, the branch and the repository
1352
containing a given location.
1353
(Daniel Watkins)
1354
1355
* New ``versionedfile.KeyMapper`` interface to abstract out the access to
1356
underlying .knit/.kndx etc files in repositories with partitioned
1357
storage. (Robert Collins)
1358
1359
* Obsolete developer-use command ``weave-join`` has been removed.
1360
(Robert Collins)
1361
1362
* ``RemoteToOtherFetcher`` and ``get_data_stream_for_search`` removed,
1363
to support new ``VersionedFiles`` layering.
1364
(Robert Collins)

1367
bzr 1.6beta2 2008-06-10
1368
-----------------------
1369
1370
This release contains further progress towards our 1.6 goals of shallow
1371
repositories, and contains a fix for some user-affecting bugs in the
1372
repository layer. Building working trees during checkout and branch is
1373
now faster.
1374
1375
BUG FIXES:
1376
1377
* Avoid KnitCorrupt error extracting inventories from some repositories.
1378
(The data is not corrupt; an internal check is detecting a problem
1379
reading from the repository.)
1380
(Martin Pool, Andrew Bennetts, Robert Collins, #234748)
1381
1382
* ``bzr status`` was breaking if you merged the same revision twice.
1383
(John Arbash Meinel, #235407)
1384
1385
* Fix infinite loop consuming 100% CPU when a connection is lost while
1386
reading a response body via the smart protocol v1 or v2.
1387
(Andrew Bennetts)
1388
1389
* Inserting a bundle which changes the contents of a file with no trailing
1390
end of line, causing a knit snapshot in a 'knits' repository will no longer
1391
cause KnitCorrupt. (Robert Collins)
1392
1393
* ``RemoteBranch.pull`` needs to return the ``self._real_branch``'s
1394
pull result. It was instead just returning None, which breaks ``bzr
1395
pull``. (John Arbash Meinel, #238149)
1396
1397
* Sanitize branch nick before using it as an attachment filename in
1398
``bzr send``. (Lukáš Lalinský, #210218)
1399
1400
* Squash ``inv_entry.symlink_target`` to a plain string when
1401
generating DirState details. This prevents from getting a
1402
``UnicodeError`` when you have symlinks and non-ascii filenames.
1403
(John Arbash Meinel, #135320)
1404
1405
IMPROVEMENTS:
1406
1407
* Added the 'alias' command to set/unset and display aliases. (Tim Penhey)
1408
1409
* ``added``, ``modified``, and ``unknowns`` behaviour made consistent (all three
1410
now quote paths where required). Added ``--null`` option to ``added`` and
1411
``modified`` (for null-separated unknowns, use ``ls --unknown --null``)
1412
(Adrian Wilkins)
1413
1414
* Faster branching (1.09x) and lightweight checkouts (1.06x) on large trees.
1415
(Ian Clatworthy, Aaron Bentley)
1416
1417
DOCUMENTATION:
1418
1419
* Added *Bazaar Zen* section to the User Guide. (Ian Clatworthy)
1420
1421
TESTING:
1422
1423
* Fix the test HTTPServer to be isolated from chdir calls made while it is
1424
running, allowing it to be used in blackbox tests. (Robert Collins)
1425
1426
API CHANGES:
1427
1428
* ``WorkingTree.set_parent_(ids/trees)`` will now filter out revisions
1429
which are in the ancestry of other revisions. So if you merge the same
1430
tree twice, or merge an ancestor of an existing merge, it will only
1431
record the newest. (If you merge a descendent, it will replace its
1432
ancestor). (John Arbash Meinel, #235407)
1433
1434
* ``RepositoryPolicy.__init__`` now requires stack_on and stack_on_pwd,
1435
through the derived classes do not. (Aaron Bentley)
1436
1437
INTERNALS:
1438
1439
* ``bzrlib.bzrdir.BzrDir.sprout`` now accepts ``stacked`` to control
1440
creating stacked branches. (Robert Collins)
1441
1442
* Knit record serialisation is now stricter on what it will accept, to
1443
guard against potential internal bugs, or broken input. (Robert Collins)

bzr 1.6beta1 2008-06-02
1447
-----------------------
1448
1449
1450
Commands that work on the revision history such as push, pull, missing,
1451
uncommit and log are now substantially faster. This release adds a
1452
translation of some of the user documentation into Spanish. (Contributions of
1453
other translations would be very welcome.) Bazaar 1.6beta1 adds a new network
1454
protocol which is used by default and which allows for more efficient transfers
1455
and future extensions.
1456
1457
1458
NOTES WHEN UPGRADING:
1459
1460
* There is a new version of the network protocol used for bzr://, bzr+ssh://
1461
and bzr+http:// connections. This will allow more efficient requests and
1462
responses, and more graceful fallback when a server is too old to
1463
recognise a request from a more recent client. Bazaar 1.6 will
1464
interoperate with 0.16 and later versions, but servers should be upgraded
1465
when possible. Bazaar 1.6 no longer interoperates with 0.15 and earlier via
1466
these protocols. Use alternatives like SFTP or upgrade those servers.
1467
(Andrew Bennetts, #83935)
1468
1469
CHANGES:
1470
1471
* Deprecation warnings will not be suppressed when running ``bzr selftest``
1472
so that developers can see if their code is using deprecated functions.
1473
(John Arbash Meinel)
1474
1475
FEATURES:
1476
1477
* Adding ``-Derror`` will now display a traceback when a plugin fails to
1478
load. (James Westby)
1479
1480
IMPROVEMENTS:
1481
1482
* ``bzr branch/push/pull -r XXX`` now have a helper function for finding
1483
the revno of the new revision (``Graph.find_distance_to_null``). This
1484
should make something like ``bzr branch -r -100`` in a shared, no-trees
1485
repository much snappier. (John Arbash Meinel)
1486
1487
* ``bzr log --short -r X..Y`` no longer needs to access the full revision
1488
history. This makes it noticeably faster when logging the last few
1489
revisions. (John Arbash Meinel)
1490
1491
* ``bzr ls`` now accepts ``-V`` as an alias for ``--versioned``.
1492
(Jerad Cramp, #165086)
1493
1494
* ``bzr missing`` uses the new ``Graph.find_unique_ancestors`` and
1495
``Graph.find_differences`` to determine missing revisions without having
1496
to search the whole ancestry. (John Arbash Meinel, #174625)
1497
1498
* ``bzr uncommit`` now uses partial history access, rather than always
1499
extracting the full revision history for a branch. This makes it
1500
resolve the appropriate revisions much faster (in testing it drops
1501
uncommit from 1.5s => 0.4s). It also means ``bzr log --short`` is one
1502
step closer to not using full revision history.
1503
(John Arbash Meinel, #172649)
1504
1505
BUGFIXES:
1506
1507
* ``bzr merge --lca`` should handle when two revisions have no common
1508
ancestor other than NULL_REVISION. (John Arbash Meinel, #235715)
1509
1510
* ``bzr status`` was breaking if you merged the same revision twice.
1511
(John Arbash Meinel, #235407)
1512
1513
* ``bzr push`` with both ``--overwrite`` and ``-r NNN`` options no longer
1514
fails. (Andrew Bennetts, #234229)
1515
1516
* Correctly track the base URL of a smart medium when using bzr+http://
1517
URLs, which was causing spurious "No repository present" errors with
1518
branches in shared repositories accessed over bzr+http.
1519
(Andrew Bennetts, #230550)
1520
1521
* Define ``_remote_is_at_least_1_2`` on ``SmartClientMedium`` so that all
1522
implementations have the attribute. Fixes 'PyCurlTransport' object has no
1523
attribute '_remote_is_at_least_1_2' attribute errors.
1524
(Andrew Bennetts, #220806)
1525
1526
* Failure to delete an obsolete pack file should just give a warning
1527
message, not a fatal error. It may for example fail if the file is still
1528
in use by another process.
1529
(Martin Pool)
1530
1531
* Fix MemoryError during large fetches over HTTP by limiting the amount of
1532
data we try to read per ``recv`` call. The problem was observed with
1533
Windows and a proxy, but might affect other environments as well.
1534
(Eric Holmberg, #215426)
1535
1536
* Handle old merge directives correctly in Merger.from_mergeable. Stricter
1537
get_parent_map requirements exposed a latent bug here. (Aaron Bentley)
1538
1539
* Issue a warning and ignore passwords declared in authentication.conf when
1540
used for an ssh scheme (sftp or bzr+ssh).
1541
(Vincent Ladeuil, #203186)
1542
1543
* Make both http implementations raise appropriate exceptions on 403
1544
Forbidden when POSTing smart requests.
1545
(Vincent Ladeuil, #230223)
1546
1547
* Properly *title* header names in http requests instead of capitalizing
1548
them.
1549
(Vincent Ladeuil, #229076)
1550
1551
* The "Unable to obtain lock" error message now also suggests using
1552
``bzr break-lock`` to fix it. (Martin Albisetti, #139202)
1553
1554
* Treat an encoding of '' as ascii; this can happen when bzr is run
1555
under vim on Mac OS X.
1556
(Neil Martinsen-Burrell)
1557
1558
* ``VersionedFile.make_mpdiffs()`` was raising an exception that wasn't in
1559
scope. (Daniel Fischer #235687)
1560
1561
DOCUMENTATION:
1562
1563
* Added directory structure and started translation of docs in spanish.
1564
(Martin Albisetti, Lucio Albenga)
1565
1566
* Incorporate feedback from Jelmer Vernooij and Neil Martinsen-Burrell
1567
on the plugin and integration chapters of the User Guide.
1568
(Ian Clatworthy)
1569
1570
* More Bazaar developer documentation about packaging and release process,
1571
and about use of Python reprs.
1572
(Martin Pool, Martin Albisetti)
1573
1574
* Updated Tortise strategy document. (Mark Hammond)
1575
1576
TESTING:
1577
1578
* ``bzrlib.tests.adapt_tests`` was broken and unused - it has been fixed.
1579
(Robert Collins)
1580
1581
* Fix the test HTTPServer to be isolated from chdir calls made while it is
1582
running, allowing it to be used in blackbox tests. (Robert Collins)
1583
1584
* New helper function for splitting test suites
1585
``split_suite_by_condition``. (Robert Collins)
1586
1587
INTERNALS:
1588
1589
* ``Branch.missing_revisions`` has been deprecated. Similar functionality
1590
can be obtained using ``bzrlib.missing.find_unmerged``. The api was
1591
fairly broken, and the function was unused, so we are getting rid of it.
1592
(John Arbash Meinel)
1593
1594
API CHANGES:
1595
1596
* ``Branch.abspath`` is deprecated; use the Tree or Transport
1597
instead. (Martin Pool)
1598
1599
* ``Branch.update_revisions`` now takes an optional ``Graph``
1600
object. This can be used by ``update_revisions`` when it is
1601
checking ancestry, and allows callers to prefer request to go to a
1602
local branch. (John Arbash Meinel)
1603
1604
* Branch, Repository, Tree and BzrDir should expose a Transport as an
1605
attribute if they have one, rather than having it indirectly accessible
1606
as ``.control_files._transport``. This doesn't add a requirement
1607
to support a Transport in cases where it was not needed before;
1608
it just simplifies the way it is reached. (Martin Pool)
1609
1610
* ``bzr missing --mine-only`` will return status code 0 if you have no
1611
new revisions, but the remote does. Similarly for ``--theirs-only``.
1612
The new code only checks one side, so it doesn't know if the other
1613
side has changes. This seems more accurate with the request anyway.
1614
It also changes the output to print '[This|Other] branch is up to
1615
date.' rather than displaying nothing. (John Arbash Meinel)
1616
1617
* ``LockableFiles.put_utf8``, ``put_bytes`` and ``controlfilename``
1618
are now deprecated in favor of using Transport operations.
1619
(Martin Pool)
1620
1621
* Many methods on ``VersionedFile``, ``Repository`` and in
1622
``bzrlib.revision`` deprecated before bzrlib 1.5 have been removed.
1623
(Robert Collins)
1624
1625
* ``RevisionSpec.wants_revision_history`` can be set to False for a given
1626
``RevisionSpec``. This will disable the existing behavior of passing in
1627
the full revision history to ``self._match_on``. Useful for specs that
1628
don't actually need access to the full history. (John Arbash Meinel)
1629
1630
* The constructors of ``SmartClientMedium`` and its subclasses now require a
1631
``base`` parameter. ``SmartClientMedium`` implementations now also need
1632
to provide a ``remote_path_from_transport`` method. (Andrew Bennetts)
1633
1634
* The default permissions for creating new files and directories
1635
should now be obtained from ``BzrDir._get_file_mode()`` and
1636
``_get_dir_mode()``, rather than from LockableFiles. The ``_set_file_mode``
1637
and ``_set_dir_mode`` variables on LockableFiles which were advertised
1638
as a way for plugins to control this are no longer consulted.
1639
(Martin Pool)
1640
1641
* ``VersionedFile.join`` is deprecated. This method required local
1642
instances of both versioned file objects and was thus hostile to being
1643
used for streaming from a smart server. The new get_record_stream and
1644
insert_record_stream are meant to efficiently replace this method.
1645
(Robert Collins)
1646
1647
* ``WorkingTree.set_parent_(ids/trees)`` will now filter out revisions
1648
which are in the ancestry of other revisions. So if you merge the same
1649
tree twice, or merge an ancestor of an existing merge, it will only
1650
record the newest. (If you merge a descendent, it will replace its
1651
ancestor). (John Arbash Meinel, #235407)
1652
1653
* ``WorkingTreeFormat2.stub_initialize_remote`` is now private.

bzr 1.5 2008-05-16
1658
------------------
1659
1660
This release of Bazaar includes several updates to the documentation, and fixes
1661
to prepare for making rich root support the default format. Many bugs have been
1662
squashed, including fixes to log, bzr+ssh inter-operation with older servers.
1663
1664
CHANGES:
1665
1666
* Suppress deprecation warnings when bzrlib is a 'final' release. This way
1667
users of packaged software won't be bothered with DeprecationWarnings,
1668
but developers and testers will still see them. (John Arbash Meinel)
1669
1670
DOCUMENTATION:
1671
1672
* Incorporate feedback from Jelmer Vernooij and Neil Martinsen-Burrell

1678
---------------------
1679
1680
NOTES WHEN UPGRADING:
1681
1682
CHANGES:
1683
1684
* Broader support of GNU Emacs mail clients. Set
1685
``mail_client=emacsclient`` in your bazaar.conf and ``send`` will pop the
1686
bundle in a mail buffer according to the value of ``mail-user-agent``
1687
variable. (Xavier Maillard)
1688
1689
FEATURES:
1690
1691
IMPROVEMENTS:
1692
1693
* Diff now handles revision specs like "branch:" and "submit:" more
1694
efficiently. (Aaron Bentley, #202928)
1695
1696
* More friendly error given when attempt to start the smart server
1697
on an address already in use. (Andrea Corbellini, #200575)
1698
1699
* Pull completes much faster when there is nothing to pull.
1700
(Aaron Bentley)
1701
1702
BUGFIXES:
1703
1704
* Authentication.conf can define sections without password.
1705
(Vincent Ladeuil, #199440)
1706
1707
* Avoid muttering every time a child update does not cause a progress bar
1708
update. (John Arbash Meinel, #213771)
1709
1710
* ``Branch.reconcile()`` is now implemented. This allows ``bzr reconcile``
1711
to fix when a Branch has a non-canonical mainline history. ``bzr check``
1712
also detects this condition. (John Arbash Meinel, #177855)
1713
1714
* ``bzr log -r ..X bzr://`` was failing, because it was getting a request
1715
for ``revision_id=None`` which was not a string.
1716
(John Arbash Meinel, #211661)
1717
1718
* ``bzr commit`` now works with Microsoft's FTP service.
1719
(Andreas Deininger)
1720
1721
* Catch definitions outside sections in authentication.conf.
1722
(Vincent Ladeuil, #217650)
1723
1724
* Conversion from non-rich-root to rich-root(-pack) updates inventory
1725
sha1s, even when bundles are used. (Aaron Bentley, #181391)
1726
1727
* Conversion from non-rich-root to rich-root(-pack) works correctly even
1728
though search keys are not topologically sorted. (Aaron Bentley)
1729
1730
* Conversion from non-rich-root to rich-root(-pack) works even when a
1731
parent revision has a different root id. (Aaron Bentley, #177874)
1732
1733
* Disable strace testing until strace is fixed (see bug #103133) and emit a
1734
warning when selftest ends to remind us of leaking tests.
1735
(Vincent Ladeuil, #226769)
1736
1737
* Fetching all revisions from a repository does not cause pack collisions.
1738
(Robert Collins, Aaron Bentley, #212908)
1739
1740
* Fix error about "attempt to add line-delta in non-delta knit".
1741
(Andrew Bennetts, #217701)
1742
1743
* Pushing a branch in "dirstate" format (Branch5) over bzr+ssh would break
1744
if the remote server was < version 1.2. This was due to a bug in the
1745
RemoteRepository.get_parent_map() fallback code.
1746
(John Arbash Meinel, #214894)
1747
1748
* Remove leftover code in ``bzr_branch`` that inappropriately creates
1749
a ``branch-name`` file in the branch control directory.
1750
(Martin Pool)
1751
1752
* Set SO_REUSEADDR on server sockets of ``bzr serve`` to avoid problems
1753
rebinding the socket when starting the server a second time.
1754
(John Arbash Meinel, Martin Pool, #164288)
1755
1756
* Severe performance degradation in fetching from knit repositories to
1757
knits and packs due to parsing the entire revisions.kndx on every graph
1758
walk iteration fixed by using the Repository.get_graph API. There was
1759
another regression in knit => knit fetching which re-read the index for
1760
every revision each side had in common.
1761
(Robert Collins, John Arbash Meinel)
1762
1763
* When logging the changes to a particular file, there was a bug if there
1764
were ghosts in the revision ancestry. (John Arbash Meinel, #209948)
1765
1766
* xs4all's ftp server returns a temporary error when trying to list an
1767
empty directory, rather than returning an empty list. Adding a
1768
workaround so that we don't get spurious failures.
1769
(John Arbash Meinel, #215522)
1770
1771
DOCUMENTATION:
1772
1773
* Expanded the User Guide to include new chapters on popular plugins and
1774
integrating Bazaar into your environment. The *Best practices* chapter
1775
was renamed to *Miscellaneous topics* as suggested by community
1776
feedback as well. (Ian Clatworthy)
1777
1778
* Document outlining strategies for TortoiseBzr. (Mark Hammond)
1779
1780
* Improved the documentation on hooks. (Ian Clatworthy)
1781
1782
* Update authentication docs regarding ssh agents.
1783
(Vincent Ladeuil, #183705)
1784
1785
TESTING:
1786
1787
* Add ``thread_name_suffix`` parameter to SmartTCPServer_for_testing, to
1788
make it easy to identify which test spawned a thread with an unhandled
1789
exception. (Andrew Bennetts)
1790
1791
* New ``--debugflag``/``-E`` option to ``bzr selftest`` for setting
1792
options for debugging tests, these are complementary to the the -D
1793
options. The ``-Dselftest_debug`` global option has been replaced by the
1794
``-E=allow_debug`` option for selftest. (Andrew Bennetts)
1795
1796
* Parameterised test ids are preserved correctly to aid diagnosis of test
1797
failures. (Robert Collins, Andrew Bennetts)
1798
1799
* selftest now accepts --starting-with <id> to load only the tests whose id
1800
starts with the one specified. This greatly speeds up running the test
1801
suite on a limited set of tests and can be used to run the tests for a
1802
single module, a single class or even a single test. (Vincent Ladeuil)
1803
1804
* The test suite modules have been modified to define load_tests() instead
1805
of test_suite(). That speeds up selective loading (via --load-list)
1806
significantly and provides many examples on how to migrate (grep for
1807
load_tests). (Vincent Ladeuil)
1808
1809
INTERNALS:
1810
1811
* ``Hooks.install_hook`` is now deprecated in favour of
1812
``Hooks.install_named_hook`` which adds a required ``name`` parameter, to
1813
avoid having to call ``Hooks.name_hook``. (Daniel Watkins)
1814
1815
* Implement xml8 serializer. (Aaron Bentley)
1816
1817
* New form ``@deprecated_method(deprecated_in(1, 5, 0))`` for making
1818
deprecation wrappers. (Martin Pool)
1819
1820
* ``Repository.revision_parents`` is now deprecated in favour of
1821
``Repository.get_parent_map([revid])[revid]``. (Jelmer Vernooij)
1822
1823
* The Python ``assert`` statement is no longer used in Bazaar source, and
1824
a test checks this. (Martin Pool)
1825
1826
API CHANGES:
1827
1828
* ``bzrlib.status.show_pending_merges`` requires the repository to be
1829
locked by the caller. Callers should have been doing it anyway, but it
1830
will now raise an exception if they do not. (John Arbash Meinel)
1831
1832
* Repository.get_data_stream, Repository.get_data_stream_for_search(),
1833
Repository.get_deltas_for_revsions(), Repository.revision_trees(),
1834
Repository.item_keys_introduced_by() no longer take read locks.
1835
(Aaron Bentley)
1836
1837
* ``LockableFiles.get_utf8`` and ``.get`` are deprecated, as a start
1838
towards removing LockableFiles and ``.control_files`` entirely.
1839
(Martin Pool)
1840
1841
* Methods deprecated prior to 1.1 have been removed.

1846
------------------
1847
1848
This release of Bazaar includes handy improvements to the speed of log and
1849
status, new options for several commands, improved documentation, and better
1850
hooks, including initial code for server-side hooks. A number of bugs have
1851
been fixed, particularly in interoperability between different formats or
1852
different releases of Bazaar over there network. There's been substantial
1853
internal work in both the repository and network code to enable new features
1854
and faster performance.
1855
1856
BUG FIXES:
1857
1858
* Pushing a branch in "dirstate" format (Branch5) over bzr+ssh would break
1859
if the remote server was < version 1.2. This was due to a bug in the
1860
RemoteRepository.get_parent_map() fallback code.

---------------------
1866
1867
BUG FIXES:
1868
1869
* ``bzr log -r ..X bzr://`` was failing, because it was getting a request
1870
for ``revision_id=None`` which was not a string.
1871
(John Arbash Meinel, #211661)
1872
1873
* Fixed a bug in handling ghost revisions when logging changes in a
1874
particular file. (John Arbash Meinel, #209948)
1875
1876
* Fix error about "attempt to add line-delta in non-delta knit".
1877
(Andrew Bennetts, #205156)
1878
1879
* Fixed performance degradation in fetching from knit repositories to
1880
knits and packs due to parsing the entire revisions.kndx on every graph
1881
walk iteration fixed by using the Repository.get_graph API. There was
1882
another regression in knit => knit fetching which re-read the index for
1883
every revision each side had in common.

1890
CHANGES:
1891
1892
* bzr main script cannot be imported (Benjamin Peterson)
1893
1894
* On Linux bzr additionally looks for plugins in arch-independent site
1895
directory. (Toshio Kuratomi)
1896
1897
* The ``set_rh`` branch hook is now deprecated. Please migrate
1898
any plugins using this hook to use an alternative, e.g.
1899
``post_change_branch_tip``. (Ian Clatworthy)
1900
1901
* When a plugin cannot be loaded as the file path is not a valid
1902
python module name bzr will now strip a ``bzr_`` prefix from the
1903
front of the suggested name, as many plugins (e.g. bzr-svn)
1904
want to be installed without this prefix. It is a common mistake
1905
to have a folder named "bzr-svn" for that plugin, especially
1906
as this is what bzr branch lp:bzr-svn will give you. (James Westby,
1907
Andrew Cowie)
1908
1909
* UniqueIntegerBugTracker now appends bug-ids instead of joining
1910
them to the base URL. Plugins that register bug trackers may
1911
need a trailing / added to the base URL if one is not already there.
1912
(James Wesby, Andrew Cowie)
1913
1914
FEATURES:
1915
1916
* Added start_commit hook for mutable trees. (Jelmer Vernooij, #186422)
1917
1918
* ``status`` now accepts ``--no-pending`` to show the status without
1919
listing pending merges, which speeds up the command a lot on large
1920
histories. (James Westby, #202830)
1921
1922
* New ``post_change_branch_tip`` hook that is called after the
1923
branch tip is moved but while the branch is still write-locked.
1924
See the User Reference for signature details.
1925
(Ian Clatworthy, James Henstridge)
1926
1927
* Reconfigure can convert a branch to be standalone or to use a shared
1928
repository. (Aaron Bentley)
1929
1930
IMPROVEMENTS:
1931
1932
* The smart protocol now has support for setting branches' revision info
1933
directly. This should make operations like push slightly faster, and is a
1934
step towards server-side hooks. The new request method name is
1935
``Branch.set_last_revision_info``. (Andrew Bennetts)
1936
1937
* ``bzr commit --fixes`` now recognises "gnome" as a tag by default.
1938
(James Westby, Andrew Cowie)
1939
1940
* ``bzr switch`` will attempt to find branches to switch to relative to the
1941
current branch. E.g. ``bzr switch branchname`` will look for
1942
``current_branch/../branchname``. (Robert Collins, Jelmer Vernooij,
1943
Wouter van Heyst)
1944
1945
* Diff is now more specific about execute-bit changes it describes
1946
(Chad Miller)
1947
1948
* Fetching data over HTTP is a bit faster when urllib is used. This is done
1949
by forcing it to recv 64k at a time when reading lines in HTTP headers,
1950
rather than just 1 byte at a time. (Andrew Bennetts)
1951
1952
* Log --short and --line are much faster when -r is not specified.
1953
(Aaron Bentley)
1954
1955
* Merge is faster. We no longer check a file's existence unnecessarily
1956
when merging the execute bit. (Aaron Bentley)
1957
1958
* ``bzr status`` on an explicit list of files no longer shows pending
1959
merges, making it much faster on large trees. (John Arbash Meinel)
1960
1961
* The launchpad directory service now warns the user if they have not set
1962
their launchpad login and are trying to resolve a URL using it, just
1963
in case they want to do a write operation with it. (James Westby)
1964
1965
* The smart protocol client is slightly faster, because it now only queries
1966
the server for the protocol version once per connection. Also, the HTTP
1967
transport will now automatically probe for and use a smart server if
1968
one is present. You can use the new ``nosmart+`` transport decorator
1969
to get the old behaviour. (Andrew Bennetts)
1970
1971
* The ``version`` command takes a ``--short`` option to print just the
1972
version number, for easier use in scripts. (Martin Pool)
1973
1974
* Various operations with revision specs and commands that calculate
1975
revnos and revision ids are faster. (John A. Meinel, Aaron Bentley)
1976
1977
BUGFIXES:
1978
1979
* Add ``root_client_path`` parameter to SmartWSGIApp and
1980
SmartServerRequest. This makes it possible to publish filesystem
1981
locations that don't exactly match URL paths. SmartServerRequest
1982
subclasses should use the new ``translate_client_path`` and
1983
``transport_from_client_path`` methods when dealing with paths received
1984
from a client to take this into account. (Andrew Bennetts, #124089)
1985
1986
* ``bzr mv a b`` can be now used also to rename previously renamed
1987
directories, not only files. (Lukáš Lalinský, #107967)
1988
1989
* ``bzr uncommit --local`` can now remove revisions from the local
1990
branch to be symmetric with ``bzr commit --local``.
1991
(John Arbash Meinel, #93412)
1992
1993
* Don't ask for a password if there is no real terminal.
1994
(Alexander Belchenko, #69851)
1995
1996
* Fix a bug causing a ValueError crash in ``parse_line_delta_iter`` when
1997
fetching revisions from a knit to pack repository or vice versa using
1998
bzr:// (including over http or ssh).
1999
(#208418, Andrew Bennetts, Martin Pool, Robert Collins)
2000
2001
* Fixed ``_get_line`` in ``bzrlib.smart.medium``, which was buggy. Also
2002
fixed ``_get_bytes`` in the same module to use the push back buffer.
2003
These bugs had no known impact in normal use, but were problematic for
2004
developers working on the code, and were likely to cause real bugs sooner
2005
or later. (Andrew Bennetts)
2006
2007
* Implement handling of basename parameter for DefaultMail. (James Westby)
2008
2009
* Incompatibility with Paramiko versions newer than 1.7.2 was fixed.
2010
(Andrew Bennetts, #213425)
2011
2012
* Launchpad locations (lp: URLs) can be pulled. (Aaron Bentley, #181945)
2013
2014
* Merges that add files to deleted root directories complete. They
2015
do create conflicts. (Aaron Bentley, #210092)
2016
2017
* vsftp's return ``550 RNFR command failed.`` supported.
2018
(Marcus Trautwig, #129786)
2019
2020
DOCUMENTATION:
2021
2022
* Improved documentation on send/merge relationship. (Peter Schuller)
2023
2024
* Minor fixes to the User Guide. (Matthew Fuller)
2025
2026
* Reduced the evangelism in the User Guide. (Ian Clatworthy)
2027
2028
* Added Integrating with Bazaar document for developers (Martin Albisetti)
2029
2030
API BREAKS:
2031
2032
* Attempting to pull data from a ghost aware repository (e.g. knits) into a
2033
non-ghost aware repository such as weaves will now fail if there are
2034
ghosts. (Robert Collins)
2035
2036
* ``KnitVersionedFile`` no longer accepts an ``access_mode`` parameter, and
2037
now requires the ``index`` and ``access_method`` parameters to be
2038
supplied. A compatible shim has been kept in the new function
2039
``knit.make_file_knit``. (Robert Collins)
2040
2041
* Log formatters must now provide log_revision instead of show and
2042
show_merge_revno methods. The latter had been deprecated since the 0.17
2043
release. (James Westby)
2044
2045
* ``LoopbackSFTP`` is now called ``SocketAsChannelAdapter``.
2046
(Andrew Bennetts)
2047
2048
* ``osutils.backup_file`` is removed. (Alexander Belchenko)
2049
2050
* ``Repository.get_revision_graph`` is deprecated, with no replacement
2051
method. The method was size(history) and not desirable. (Robert Collins)
2052
2053
* ``revision.revision_graph`` is deprecated, with no replacement function.
2054
The function was size(history) and not desirable. (Robert Collins)
2055
2056
* ``Transport.get_shared_medium`` is deprecated. Use
2057
``Transport.get_smart_medium`` instead. (Andrew Bennetts)
2058
2059
* ``VersionedFile`` factories now accept a get_scope parameter rather
2060
than using a call to ``transaction_finished``, allowing the removal of
2061
the fixed list of versioned files per repository. (Robert Collins)
2062
2063
* ``VersionedFile.annotate_iter`` is deprecated. While in principle this
2064
allowed lower memory use, all users of annotations wanted full file
2065
annotations, and there is no storage format suitable for incremental
2066
line-by-line annotation. (Robert Collins)
2067
2068
* ``VersionedFile.clone_text`` is deprecated. This performance optimisation
2069
is no longer used - reading the content of a file that is undergoing a
2070
file level merge to identical state on two branches is rare enough, and
2071
not expensive enough to special case. (Robert Collins)
2072
2073
* ``VersionedFile.clear_cache`` and ``enable_cache`` are deprecated.
2074
These methods added significant complexity to the ``VersionedFile``
2075
implementation, but were only used for optimising fetches from knits -
2076
which can be done from outside the knit layer, or via a caching
2077
decorator. As knits are not the default format, the complexity is no
2078
longer worth paying. (Robert Collins)
2079
2080
* ``VersionedFile.create_empty`` is removed. This method presupposed a
2081
sensible mapping to a transport for individual files, but pack backed
2082
versioned files have no such mapping. (Robert Collins)
2083
2084
* ``VersionedFile.get_graph`` is deprecated, with no replacement method.
2085
The method was size(history) and not desirable. (Robert Collins)
2086
2087
* ``VersionedFile.get_graph_with_ghosts`` is deprecated, with no
2088
replacement method. The method was size(history) and not desirable.
2089
(Robert Collins)
2090
2091
* ``VersionedFile.get_parents`` is deprecated, please use
2092
``VersionedFile.get_parent_map``. (Robert Collins)
2093
2094
* ``VersionedFile.get_sha1`` is deprecated, please use
2095
``VersionedFile.get_sha1s``. (Robert Collins)
2096
2097
* ``VersionedFile.has_ghost`` is now deprecated, as it is both expensive
2098
and unused outside of a single test. (Robert Collins)
2099
2100
* ``VersionedFile.iter_parents`` is now deprecated in favour of
2101
``get_parent_map`` which can be used to instantiate a Graph on a
2102
VersionedFile. (Robert Collins)
2103
2104
* ``VersionedFileStore`` no longer uses the transaction parameter given
2105
to most methods; amongst other things this means that the
2106
get_weave_or_empty method no longer guarantees errors on a missing weave
2107
in a readonly transaction, and no longer caches versioned file instances
2108
which reduces memory pressure (but requires more careful management by
2109
callers to preserve performance). (Robert Collins)
2110
2111
TESTING:
2112
2113
* New -Dselftest_debug flag disables clearing of the debug flags during
2114
tests. This is useful if you want to use e.g. -Dhpss to help debug a
2115
failing test. Be aware that using this feature is likely to cause
2116
spurious test failures if used with the full suite. (Andrew Bennetts)
2117
2118
* selftest --load-list now uses a new more agressive test loader that will
2119
avoid loading unneeded modules and building their tests. Plugins can use
2120
this new loader by defining a load_tests function instead of a test_suite
2121
function. (a forthcoming patch will provide many examples on how to
2122
implement this).
2123
(Vincent Ladeuil)
2124
2125
* selftest --load-list now does some sanity checks regarding duplicate test
2126
IDs and tests present in the list but not found in the actual test suite.
2127
(Vincent Ladeuil)
2128
2129
* Slightly more concise format for the selftest progress bar, so there's
2130
more space to show the test name. (Martin Pool) ::
2131
2132
[2500/10884, 1fail, 3miss in 1m29s] test_revisionnamespaces.TestRev
2133
2134
* The test suite takes much less memory to run, and is a bit faster. This
2135
is done by clearing most attributes of TestCases after running them, if
2136
they succeeded. (Andrew Bennetts)
2137
2138
INTERNALS:
2139
2140
* Added ``_build_client_protocol`` to ``_SmartClient``. (Andrew Bennetts)
2141
2142
* Added basic infrastructure for automatic plugin suggestion.
2143
(Martin Albisetti)
2144
2145
* If a ``LockableFiles`` object is not explicitly unlocked (for example
2146
because of a missing ``try/finally`` block, it will give a warning but
2147
not automatically unlock itself. (Previously they did.) This
2148
sometimes caused knock-on errors if for example the network connection
2149
had already failed, and should not be relied upon by code.
2150
(Martin Pool, #109520)
2151
2152
* ``make dist`` target to build a release tarball, and also
2153
``check-dist-tarball`` and ``dist-upload-escudero``. (Martin Pool)
2154
2155
* The ``read_response_tuple`` method of ``SmartClientRequestProtocol*``
2156
classes will now raise ``UnknownSmartMethod`` when appropriate, so that
2157
callers don't need to try distinguish unknown request errors from other
2158
errors. (Andrew Bennetts)
2159
2160
* ``set_make_working_trees`` is now implemented provided on all repository
2161
implementations (Aaron Bentley)
2162
2163
* ``VersionedFile`` now has a new method ``get_parent_map`` which, like
2164
``Graph.get_parent_map`` returns a dict of key:parents. (Robert Collins)

2186
2187
Bazaar has become part of the GNU project <http://www.gnu.org>
2188
2189
Many operations that act on history, including ``log`` and ``annotate`` are now
2190
substantially faster. Several bugs have been fixed and several new options and
2191
features have been added.
2192
2193

NOTES WHEN UPGRADING:
2204
2205
* The backup directory created by ``upgrade`` is now called
2206
``backup.bzr``, not ``.bzr.backup``. (Martin Albisetti)
2207
2208
CHANGES:
2209
2210
* A new repository format 'development' has been added. This format will
2211
represent the latest 'in-progress' format that the bzr developers are
2212
interested in getting early-adopter testing and feedback on.
2213
``doc/developers/development-repo.txt`` has detailed information.
2214
(Robert Collins)
2215
2216
* BZR_LOG environment variable controls location of .bzr.log trace file.
2217
User can suppress writing messages to .bzr.log by using '/dev/null'
2218
filename (on Linux) or 'NUL' (on Windows). If BZR_LOG variable
2219
is not defined but BZR_HOME is defined then default location
2220
for .bzr.log trace file is ``$BZR_HOME/.bzr.log``.
2221
(Alexander Belchenko, #106117)
2222
2223
* ``launchpad`` builtin plugin now shipped as separate part in standalone
2224
bzr.exe, installed to ``C:\Program Files\Bazaar\plugins`` directory,
2225
and standalone installer allows user to skip installation of this plugin.
2226
(Alexander Belchenko)
2227
2228
* Restore auto-detection of plink.exe on Windows. (Dmitry Vasiliev)
2229
2230
* Version number is now shown as "1.2" or "1.2pr2", without zeroed or
2231
missing final fields. (Martin Pool)
2232
2233
FEATURES:
2234
2235
* ``branch`` and ``checkout`` can hard-link working tree files, which is
2236
faster and saves space. (Aaron Bentley)
2237
2238
* ``bzr send`` will now also look at the ``child_submit_to`` setting in
2239
the submit branch to determine the email address to send to.
2240
(Jelmer Vernooij)
2241
2242
IMPROVEMENTS:
2243
2244
* BzrBranch._lefthand_history is faster on pack repos. (Aaron Bentley)
2245
2246
* Branch6.generate_revision_history is faster. (Aaron Bentley)
2247
2248
* Directory services can now be registered, allowing special URLs to be
2249
dereferenced into real URLs. This is a generalization and cleanup of
2250
the lp: transport lookup. (Aaron Bentley)
2251
2252
* Merge directives that are automatically attached to emails have nicer
2253
filenames, based on branch-nick + revno. (Aaron Bentley)
2254
2255
* ``push`` has a ``--revision`` option, to specify what revision to push up
2256
to. (Daniel Watkins)
2257
2258
* Significantly reducing execution time and network traffic for trivial
2259
case of running ``bzr missing`` command for two identical branches.
2260
(Alexander Belchenko)
2261
2262
* Speed up operations that look at the revision graph (such as 'bzr log').
2263
``KnitPackRepositor.get_revision_graph`` uses ``Graph.iter_ancestry`` to
2264
extract the revision history. This allows filtering ghosts while
2265
stepping instead of needing to peek ahead. (John Arbash Meinel)
2266
2267
* The ``hooks`` command lists installed hooks, to assist in debugging.
2268
(Daniel Watkins)
2269
2270
* Updates to how ``annotate`` work. Should see a measurable improvement in
2271
performance and memory consumption for file with a lot of merges.
2272
Also, correctly handle when a line is introduced by both parents (it
2273
should be attributed to the first merge which notices this, and not
2274
to all subsequent merges.) (John Arbash Meinel)
2275
2276
BUGFIXES:
2277
2278
* Autopacking no longer holds the full set of inventory lines in
2279
memory while copying. For large repositories, this can amount to
2280
hundreds of MB of ram consumption.
2281
(Ian Clatworthy, John Arbash Meinel)
2282
2283
* Cherrypicking when using ``--format=merge3`` now explictly excludes
2284
BASE lines. (John Arbash Meinel, #151731)
2285
2286
* Disable plink's interactive prompt for password.
2287
(#107593, Dmitry Vasiliev)

* Include quick-start-summary.svg file to python-based installer(s)

* lca merge now respects specified files. (Aaron Bentley)
2303
2304
* Make version-info --custom imply --all. (#195560, James Westby)
2305
2306
* ``merge --preview`` now works for merges that add or modify

location is used) now works. (John Arbash Meinel)
2311
2312
* setup.py script explicitly checks for Python version.
2313
(Jari Aalto, Alexander Belchenko, #200569)
2314
2315
* UnknownFormatErrors no longer refer to branches regardless of kind of
2316
unknown format. (Daniel Watkins, #173980)
2317
2318
* Upgrade bundled ConfigObj to version 4.5.2, which properly quotes #
2319
signs, among other small improvements. (Matt Nordhoff, #86838)
2320
2321
* Use correct indices when emitting LCA conflicts. This fixes IndexError
2322
errors. (Aaron Bentley, #196780)
2323
2324
DOCUMENTATION:
2325
2326
* Explained how to use ``version-info --custom`` in the User Guide.
2327
(Neil Martinsen-Burrell)
2328
2329
API BREAKS:
2330
2331
* Support for loading plugins from zip files and
2332
``bzrlib.plugin.load_from_zip()`` function are deprecated.
2333
(Alexander Belchenko)
2334
2335
TESTING:
2336
2337
* Added missing blackbox tests for ``modified`` (Adrian Wilkins)
2338
2339
* The branch interface tests were invalid for branches using rich-root
2340
repositories because the empty string is not a valid file-id.
2341
(Robert Collins)
2342
2343
INTERNALS:
2344
2345
* ``Graph.iter_ancestry`` returns the ancestry of revision ids. Similar to
2346
``Repository.get_revision_graph()`` except it includes ghosts and you can
2347
stop part-way through. (John Arbash Meinel)
2348
2349
* New module ``tools/package_mf.py`` provide custom module finder for
2350
python packages (improves standard python library's modulefinder.py)
2351
used by ``setup.py`` script while building standalone bzr.exe.
2352
(Alexander Belchenko)
2353
2354
* New remote method ``RemoteBzrDir.find_repositoryV2`` adding support for
2355
detecting external lookup support on remote repositories. This method is
2356
now attempted first when lookup up repositories, leading to an extra
2357
round trip on older bzr smart servers. (Robert Collins)
2358
2359
* Repository formats have a new supported-feature attribute
2360
``supports_external_lookups`` used to indicate repositories which support
2361
falling back to other repositories when they have partial data.
2362
(Robert Collins)
2363
2364
* ``Repository.get_revision_graph_with_ghosts`` and
2365
``bzrlib.revision.(common_ancestor,MultipleRevisionSources,common_graph)``
2366
have been deprecated. (John Arbash Meinel)
2367
2368
* ``Tree.iter_changes`` is now a public API, replacing the work-in-progress
2369
``Tree._iter_changes``. The api is now considered stable and ready for
2370
external users. (Aaron Bentley)
2371
2372
* The bzrdir format registry now accepts an ``alias`` keyword to
2373
register_metadir, used to indicate that a format name is an alias for
2374
some other format and thus should not be reported when describing the
2375
format. (Robert Collins)

2389
NOTES WHEN UPGRADING:
2390
2391
* Fetching via the smart protocol may need to reconnect once during a fetch
2392
if the remote server is running Bazaar 1.1 or earlier, because the client
2393
attempts to use more efficient requests that confuse older servers. You
2394
may be required to re-enter a password or passphrase when this happens.
2395
This won't happen if the server is upgraded to Bazaar 1.2.
2396
(Andrew Bennetts)
2397
2398
CHANGES:
2399
2400
* Fetching via bzr+ssh will no longer fill ghosts by default (this is
2401
consistent with pack-0.92 fetching over SFTP). (Robert Collins)
2402
2403
* Formatting of ``bzr plugins`` output is changed to be more human-
2404
friendly. Full path of plugins locations will be shown only with
2405
``--verbose`` command-line option. (Alexander Belchenko)
2406
2407
* ``merge`` now prefers to use the submit branch, but will fall back to
2408
parent branch. For many users, this has no effect. But some users who
2409
pull and merge on the same branch will notice a change. This change
2410
makes it easier to work on a branch on two different machines, pulling
2411
between the machines, while merging from the upstream.
2412
``merge --remember`` can now be used to set the submit_branch.
2413
(Aaron Bentley)
2414
2415
FEATURES:
2416
2417
* ``merge --preview`` produces a diff of the changes merge would make,
2418
but does not actually perform the merge. (Aaron Bentley)
2419
2420
* New smart method ``Repository.get_parent_map`` for getting revision
2421
parent data. This returns additional parent information topologically
2422
adjacent to the requested data to reduce round trip latency impacts.
2423
(Robert Collins)
2424
2425
* New smart method, ``Repository.stream_revisions_chunked``, for fetching
2426
revision data that streams revision data via a chunked encoding. This
2427
avoids buffering large amounts of revision data on the server and on the
2428
client, and sends less data to the server to request the revisions.
2429
(Andrew Bennetts, Robert Collins, #178353)
2430
2431
* The launchpad plugin now handles lp urls of the form
2432
``lp://staging/``, ``lp://demo/``, ``lp://dev/`` to use the appropriate
2433
launchpad instance to do the resolution of the branch identities.
2434
This is primarily of use to Launchpad developers, but can also
2435
be used by other users who want to try out Launchpad as
2436
a branch location without messing up their public Launchpad
2437
account. Branches that are pushed to the staging environment
2438
have an expected lifetime of one day. (Tim Penhey)
2439
2440
IMPROVEMENTS:
2441
2442
* Creating a new branch no longer tries to read the entire revision-history
2443
unnecessarily over smart server operations. (Robert Collins)
2444
2445
* Fetching between different repository formats with compatible models now
2446
takes advantage of the smart method to stream revisions. (Andrew Bennetts)
2447
2448
* The ``--coverage`` option is now global, rather specific to ``bzr
2449
selftest``. (Andrew Bennetts)
2450
2451
* The ``register-branch`` command will now use the public url of the branch
2452
containing the current directory, if one has been set and no explicit
2453
branch is provided. (Robert Collins)
2454
2455
* Tweak the ``reannotate`` code path to optimize the 2-parent case.
2456
Speeds up ``bzr annotate`` with a pack repository by approx 3:2.
2457
(John Arbash Meinel)
2458
2459
BUGFIXES:
2460
2461
* Calculate remote path relative to the shared medium in _SmartClient. This
2462
is related to the problem in bug #124089. (Andrew Bennetts)
2463
2464
* Cleanly handle connection errors in smart protocol version two, the same
2465
way as they are handled by version one. (Andrew Bennetts)
2466
2467
* Clearer error when ``version-info --custom`` is used without
2468
``--template`` (Lukáš Lalinský)
2469
2470
* Don't raise UnavailableFeature during test setup when medusa is not
2471
available or tearDown is never called leading to nasty side effects.
2472
(#137823, Vincent Ladeuil)
2473
2474
* If a plugin's test suite cannot be loaded, for example because of a syntax
2475
error in the tests, then ``selftest`` fails, rather than just printing
2476
a warning. (Martin Pool, #189771)
2477
2478
* List possible values for BZR_SSH environment variable in env-variables
2479
help topic. (Alexander Belchenko, #181842)
2480
2481
* New methods ``push_log_file`` and ``pop_log_file`` to intercept messages:
2482
popping the log redirection now precisely restores the previous state,
2483
which makes it easier to use bzr log output from other programs.
2484
TestCaseInTempDir no longer depends on a log redirection being established
2485
by the test framework, which lets bzr tests cleanly run from a normal
2486
unittest runner.
2487
(#124153, #124849, Martin Pool, Jonathan Lange)
2488
2489
* ``pull --quiet`` is now more quiet, in particular a message is no longer
2490
printed when the remembered pull location is used. (James Westby,
2491
#185907)
2492
2493
* ``reconfigure`` can safely be interrupted while fetching.
2494
(Aaron Bentley, #179316)
2495
2496
* ``reconfigure`` preserves tags when converting to and from lightweight
2497
checkouts. (Aaron Bentley, #182040)
2498
2499
* Stop polluting /tmp when running selftest.
2500
(Vincent Ladeuil, #123623)
2501
2502
* Switch from NFKC => NFC for normalization checks. NFC allows a few
2503
more characters which should be considered valid.
2504
(John Arbash Meinel, #185458)
2505
2506
* The launchpad plugin now uses the ``edge`` xmlrpc server to avoid
2507
interacting badly with a bug on the launchpad side. (Robert Collins)
2508
2509
* Unknown hostnames when connecting to a ``bzr://`` URL no longer cause
2510
tracebacks. (Andrew Bennetts, #182849)
2511
2512
API BREAKS:
2513
2514
* Classes implementing Merge types like Merge3Merger must now accept (and
2515
honour) a do_merge flag in their constructor. (Aaron Bentley)
2516
2517
* ``Repository.add_inventory`` and ``add_revision`` now require the caller
2518
to previously take a write lock (and start a write group.)
2519
(Martin Pool)
2520
2521
TESTING:
2522
2523
* selftest now accepts --load-list <file> to load a test id list. This
2524
speeds up running the test suite on a limited set of tests.
2525
(Vincent Ladeuil)
2526
2527
INTERNALS:
2528
2529
* Add a new method ``get_result`` to graph search objects. The resulting
2530
``SearchResult`` can be used to recreate the search later, which will
2531
be useful in reducing network traffic. (Robert Collins)
2532
2533
* Use convenience function to check whether two repository handles
2534
are referring to the same repository in ``Repository.get_graph``.
2535
(Jelmer Vernooij, #187162)
2536
2537
* Fetching now passes the find_ghosts flag through to the
2538
``InterRepository.missing_revision_ids`` call consistently for all
2539
repository types. This will enable faster missing revision discovery with
2540
bzr+ssh. (Robert Collins)
2541
2542
* Fix error handling in Repository.insert_data_stream. (Lukas Lalinsky)
2543
2544
* ``InterRepository.missing_revision_ids`` is now deprecated in favour of
2545
``InterRepository.search_missing_revision_ids`` which returns a
2546
``bzrlib.graph.SearchResult`` suitable for making requests from the smart
2547
server. (Robert Collins)
2548
2549
* New error ``NoPublicBranch`` for commands that need a public branch to
2550
operate. (Robert Collins)
2551
2552
* New method ``iter_inventories`` on Repository for access to many
2553
inventories. This is primarily used by the ``revision_trees`` method, as
2554
direct access to inventories is discouraged. (Robert Collins)
2555
2556
* New method ``next_with_ghosts`` on the Graph breadth-first-search objects
2557
which will split out ghosts and present parents into two separate sets,
2558
useful for code which needs to be aware of ghosts (e.g. fetching data
2559
cares about ghosts during revision selection). (Robert Collins)
2560
2561
* Record a timestamp against each mutter to the trace file, relative to the
2562
first import of bzrlib. (Andrew Bennetts)
2563
2564
* ``Repository.get_data_stream`` is now deprecated in favour of
2565
``Repository.get_data_stream_for_search`` which allows less network
2566
traffic when requesting data streams over a smart server. (Robert Collins)
2567
2568
* ``RemoteBzrDir._get_tree_branch`` no longer triggers ``_ensure_real``,
2569
removing one round trip on many network operations. (Robert Collins)
2570
2571
* RemoteTransport's ``recommended_page_size`` method now returns 64k, like
2572
SFTPTransport and HttpTransportBase. (Andrew Bennetts)
2573
2574
* Repository has a new method ``has_revisions`` which signals the presence
2575
of many revisions by returning a set of the revisions listed which are
2576
present. This can be done by index queries without reading data for parent
2577
revision names etc. (Robert Collins)

2584
2585
bzr 1.1rc1 2008-01-05
2586
---------------------
2587
2588
CHANGES:
2589
2590
* Dotted revision numbers have been revised. Instead of growing longer with
2591
nested branches the branch number just increases. (eg instead of 1.1.1.1.1
2592
we now report 1.2.1.) This helps scale long lived branches which have many
2593
feature branches merged between them. (John Arbash Meinel)
2594
2595
* The syntax ``bzr diff branch1 branch2`` is no longer supported.
2596
Use ``bzr diff branch1 --new branch2`` instead. This change has
2597
been made to remove the ambiguity where ``branch2`` is in fact a
2598
specific file to diff within ``branch1``.
2599
2600
FEATURES:
2601
2602
* New option to use custom template-based formats in ``bzr version-info``.
2603
(Lukáš Lalinský)
2604
2605
* diff '--using' allows an external diff tool to be used for files.
2606
(Aaron Bentley)
2607
2608
* New "lca" merge-type for fast everyday merging that also supports
2609
criss-cross merges. (Aaron Bentley)
2610
2611
IMPROVEMENTS:
2612
2613
* ``annotate`` now doesn't require a working tree. (Lukáš Lalinský,
2614
#90049)
2615
2616
* ``branch`` and ``checkout`` can now use files from a working tree to
2617
to speed up the process. For checkout, this requires the new
2618
--files-from flag. (Aaron Bentley)
2619
2620
* ``bzr diff`` now sorts files in alphabetical order. (Aaron Bentley)
2621
2622
* ``bzr diff`` now works on branches without working trees. Tree-less
2623
branches can also be compared to each other and to working trees using
2624
the new diff options ``--old`` and ``--new``. Diffing between branches,
2625
with or without trees, now supports specific file filtering as well.
2626
(Ian Clatworthy, #6700)
2627
2628
* ``bzr pack`` now orders revision texts in topological order, with newest
2629
at the start of the file, promoting linear reads for ``bzr log`` and the
2630
like. This partially fixes #154129. (Robert Collins)
2631
2632
* Merge directives now fetch prerequisites from the target branch if
2633
needed. (Aaron Bentley)
2634
2635
* pycurl now handles digest authentication.
2636
(Vincent Ladeuil)
2637
2638
* ``reconfigure`` can now convert from repositories. (Aaron Bentley)
2639
2640
* ``-l`` is now a short form for ``--limit`` in ``log``. (Matt Nordhoff)
2641
2642
* ``merge`` now warns when merge directives cause cherrypicks.
2643
(Aaron Bentley)
2644
2645
* ``split`` now supported, to enable splitting large trees into smaller
2646
pieces. (Aaron Bentley)
2647
2648
BUGFIXES:
2649
2650
* Avoid AttributeError when unlocking a pack repository when an error occurs.
2651
(Martin Pool, #180208)
2652
2653
* Better handle short reads when processing multiple range requests.
2654
(Vincent Ladeuil, #179368)
2655
2656
* build_tree acceleration uses the correct path when a file has been moved.
2657
(Aaron Bentley)
2658
2659
* ``commit`` now succeeds when a checkout and its master branch share a
2660
repository. (Aaron Bentley, #177592)
2661
2662
* Fixed error reporting of unsupported timezone format in
2663
``log --timezone``. (Lukáš Lalinský, #178722)
2664
2665
* Fixed Unicode encoding error in ``ignored`` when the output is
2666
redirected to a pipe. (Lukáš Lalinský)
2667
2668
* Fix traceback when sending large response bodies over the smart protocol
2669
on Windows. (Andrew Bennetts, #115781)
2670
2671
* Fix ``urlutils.relative_url`` for the case of two ``file:///`` URLs
2672
pointed to different logical drives on Windows.
2673
(Alexander Belchenko, #90847)
2674
2675
* HTTP test servers are now compatible with the http protocol version 1.1.
2676
(Vincent Ladeuil, #175524)
2677
2678
* _KnitParentsProvider.get_parent_map now handles requests for ghosts
2679
correctly, instead of erroring or attributing incorrect parents to ghosts.
2680
(Aaron Bentley)
2681
2682
* ``merge --weave --uncommitted`` now works. (Aaron Bentley)
2683
2684
* pycurl authentication handling was broken and incomplete. Fix handling of
2685
user:pass embedded in the urls.
2686
(Vincent Ladeuil, #177643)
2687
2688
* Files inside non-directories are now handled like other conflict types.
2689
(Aaron Bentley, #177390)
2690
2691
* ``reconfigure`` is able to convert trees into lightweight checkouts.
2692
(Aaron Bentley)
2693
2694
* Reduce lockdir timeout to 0 when running ``bzr serve``. (Andrew Bennetts,
2695
#148087)
2696
2697
* Test that the old ``version_info_format`` functions still work, even
2698
though they are deprecated. (John Arbash Meinel, ShenMaq, #177872)
2699
2700
* Transform failures no longer cause ImmortalLimbo errors (Aaron Bentley,
2701
#137681)
2702
2703
* ``uncommit`` works even when the commit messages of revisions to be
2704
removed use characters not supported in the terminal encoding.
2705
(Aaron Bentley)
2706
2707
* When dumb http servers return whole files instead of the requested ranges,
2708
read the remaining bytes by chunks to avoid overflowing network buffers.
2709
(Vincent Ladeuil, #175886)
2710
2711
DOCUMENTATION:
2712
2713
* Minor tweaks made to the bug tracker integration documentation.
2714
(Ian Clatworthy)
2715
2716
* Reference material has now be moved out of the User Guide and added
2717
to the User Reference. The User Reference has gained 4 sections as
2718
a result: Authenication Settings, Configuration Settings, Conflicts
2719
and Hooks. All help topics are now dumped into text format in the
2720
doc/en/user-reference directory for those who like browsing that
2721
information in their editor. (Ian Clatworthy)
2722
2723
* *Using Bazaar with Launchpad* tutorial added. (Ian Clatworthy)
2724
2725
INTERNALS:
2726
2727
* find_* methods available for BzrDirs, Branches and WorkingTrees.
2728
(Aaron Bentley)
2729
2730
* Help topics can now be loaded from files.
2731
(Ian Clatworthy, Alexander Belchenko)
2732
2733
* get_parent_map now always provides tuples as its output. (Aaron Bentley)
2734
2735
* Parent Providers should now implement ``get_parent_map`` returning a
2736
dictionary instead of ``get_parents`` returning a list.
2737
``Graph.get_parents`` is now deprecated. (John Arbash Meinel,
2738
Robert Collins)
2739
2740
* Patience Diff now supports arbitrary python objects, as long as they
2741
support ``hash()``. (John Arbash Meinel)
2742
2743
* Reduce selftest overhead to establish test names by memoization.
2744
(Vincent Ladeuil)
2745
2746
API BREAKS:
2747
2748
TESTING:
2749
2750
* Modules can now customise their tests by defining a ``load_tests``
2751
attribute. ``pydoc bzrlib.tests.TestUtil.TestLoader.loadTestsFromModule``
2752
for the documentation on this attribute. (Robert Collins)
2753
2754
* New helper function ``bzrlib.tests.condition_id_re`` which helps
2755
filter tests based on a regular expression search on the tests id.
2756
(Robert Collins)
2757
2758
* New helper function ``bzrlib.tests.condition_isinstance`` which helps
2759
filter tests based on class. (Robert Collins)
2760
2761
* New helper function ``bzrlib.tests.exclude_suite_by_condition`` which
2762
generalises the ``exclude_suite_by_re`` function. (Robert Collins)
2763
2764
* New helper function ``bzrlib.tests.filter_suite_by_condition`` which
2765
generalises the ``filter_suite_by_re`` function. (Robert Collins)
2766
2767
* New helper method ``bzrlib.tests.exclude_tests_by_re`` which gives a new
2768
TestSuite that does not contain tests from the input that matched a
2769
regular expression. (Robert Collins)
2770
2771
* New helper method ``bzrlib.tests.randomize_suite`` which returns a
2772
randomized copy of the input suite. (Robert Collins)
2773
2774
* New helper method ``bzrlib.tests.split_suite_by_re`` which splits a test
2775
suite into two according to a regular expression. (Robert Collins)
2776
2777
* Parametrize all http tests for the transport implementations, the http
2778
protocol versions (1.0 and 1.1) and the authentication schemes.
2779
(Vincent Ladeuil)
2780

* The ``exclude_pattern`` and ``random_order`` parameters to the function
2782
``bzrlib.tests.filter_suite_by_re`` have been deprecated. (Robert Collins)
2783
2784
* The method ``bzrlib.tests.sort_suite_by_re`` has been deprecated. It is
2785
replaced by the new helper methods added in this release. (Robert Collins)

BUGFIXES:
2816
2817
* Fix Makefile rules for doc generation. (Ian Clatworthy, #175207)
2818
2819
* Give more feedback during long http downloads by making readv deliver data
2820
as it arrives for urllib, and issue more requests for pycurl. High latency
2821
networks are better handled by urllib, the pycurl implementation give more
2822
feedback but also incur more latency.
2823
(Vincent Ladeuil, #173010)
2824
2825

2834
2835
INTERNALS:
2836
2837
* readv urllib http implementation is now a real iterator above the

IMPROVEMENTS:
2847
2848
* Added a --coverage option to selftest. (Andrew Bennetts)
2849
2850
* Annotate merge (merge-type=weave) now supports cherrypicking.
2851
(Aaron Bentley)
2852
2853
* ``bzr commit`` now doesn't print the revision number twice. (Matt
2854
Nordhoff, #172612)
2855
2856
* New configuration option ``bugtracker_<tracker_abbrevation>_url`` to
2857
define locations of bug trackers that are not directly supported by
2858
bzr or a plugin. The URL will be treated as a template and ``{id}``
2859
placeholders will be replaced by specific bug IDs. (Lukáš Lalinský)
2860
2861
* Support logging single merge revisions with short and line log formatters.
2862
(Kent Gibson)
2863
2864
* User Guide enhanced with suggested readability improvements from
2865
Matt Revell and corrections from John Arbash Meinel. (Ian Clatworthy)
2866
2867
* Quick Start Guide renamed to Quick Start Card, moved down in
2868
the catalog, provided in pdf and png format and updated to refer
2869
to ``send`` instead of ``bundle``. (Ian Clatworthy, #165080)
2870
2871
* ``switch`` can now be used on heavyweight checkouts as well as
2872
lightweight ones. After switching a heavyweight checkout, the
2873
local branch is a mirror/cache of the new bound branch and
2874
uncommitted changes in the working tree are merged. As a safety
2875
check, if there are local commits in a checkout which have not
2876
been committed to the previously bound branch, then ``switch``
2877
fails unless the ``--force`` option is given. This option is
2878
now also required if the branch a lightweight checkout is pointing
2879
to has been moved. (Ian Clatworthy)
2880

INTERNALS:
2882
2883
* New -Dhttp debug option reports http connections, requests and responses.

(Lukáš Lalinský, #133782)
2892
2893
* Catch OSError 17 (file exists) in final phase of tree transform and show
2894
filename to user.
2895
(Alexander Belchenko, #111758)
2896
2897
* Catch ShortReadvErrors while using pycurl. Also make readv more robust by
2898
allowing multiple GET requests to be issued if too many ranges are
2899
required.
2900
(Vincent Ladeuil, #172701)
2901
2902
* Check for missing basis texts when fetching from packs to packs.
2903
(John Arbash Meinel, #165290)
2904
2905
* Fall back to showing e-mail in ``log --short/--line`` if the
2906
committer/author has only e-mail. (Lukáš Lalinský, #157026)
2907
2908
API BREAKS:

bzr 1.0rc1 2007-11-30
2915
---------------------
2916
2917
NOTES WHEN UPGRADING:
2918
2919
* The default repository format is now ``pack-0.92``. This
2920
default is used when creating new repositories with ``init`` and
2921
``init-repo``, and when branching over bzr+ssh or bzr+hpss.
2922
(See https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/164626)
2923
2924
This format can be read and written by Bazaar 0.92 and later, and
2925
data can be transferred to and from older formats.
2926
2927
To upgrade, please reconcile your repository (``bzr reconcile``), and then
2928
upgrade (``bzr upgrade``).
2929
2930
``pack-0.92`` offers substantially better scaling and performance than the
2931
previous knits format. Some operations are slower where the code already
2932
had bad scaling characteristics under knits, the pack format makes such
2933
operations more visible as part of being more scalable overall. We will
2934
correct such operations over the coming releases and encourage the filing
2935
of bugs on any operation which you observe to be slower in a packs
2936
repository. One particular case that we do not intend to fix is pulling
2937
data from a pack repository into a knit repository over a high latency
2938
link; downgrading such data requires reinsertion of the file texts, and
2939
this is a classic space/time tradeoff. The current implementation is
2940
conservative on memory usage because we need to support converting data
2941
from any tree without problems.
2942
(Robert Collins, Martin Pool, #164476)
2943
2944
CHANGES:
2945
2946
* Disable detection of plink.exe as possible ssh vendor. Plink vendor
2947
still available if user selects it explicitly with BZR_SSH environment
2948
variable. (Alexander Belchenko, workaround for bug #107593)
2949
2950
* The pack format is now accessible as "pack-0.92", or "pack-0.92-subtree"
2951
to enable the subtree functions (for example, for bzr-svn).
2952
See http://doc.bazaar-vcs.org/latest/developer/packrepo.html
2953
(Martin Pool)
2954
2955
FEATURES:
2956
2957
* New ``authentication.conf`` file holding the password or other credentials
2958
for remote servers. This can be used for ssh, sftp, smtp and other
2959
supported transports.
2960
(Vincent Ladeuil)
2961
2962
* New rich-root and rich-root-pack formats, recording the same data about
2963
tree roots that's recorded for all other directories.
2964
(Aaron Bentley, #164639)
2965
2966
* ``pack-0.92`` repositories can now be reconciled.
2967
(Robert Collins, #154173)
2968
2969
* ``switch`` command added for changing the branch a lightweight checkout
2970
is associated with and updating the tree to reflect the latest content
2971
accordingly. This command was previously part of the BzrTools plug-in.
2972
(Ian Clatworthy, Aaron Bentley, David Allouche)
2973
2974
* ``reconfigure`` command can now convert branches, trees, or checkouts to
2975
lightweight checkouts. (Aaron Bentley)
2976
2977
PERFORMANCE:
2978
2979
* Commit updates the state of the working tree via a delta rather than
2980
supplying entirely new basis trees. For commit of a single specified file
2981
this reduces the wall clock time for commit by roughly a 30%.
2982
(Robert Collins, Martin Pool)
2983
2984
* Commit with many automatically found deleted paths no longer performs
2985
linear scanning for the children of those paths during inventory
2986
iteration. This should fix commit performance blowing out when many such
2987
paths occur during commit. (Robert Collins, #156491)
2988
2989
* Fetch with pack repositories will no longer read the entire history graph.
2990
(Robert Collins, #88319)
2991
2992
* Revert takes out an appropriate lock when reverting to a basis tree, and
2993
does not read the basis inventory twice. (Robert Collins)
2994
2995
* Diff does not require an inventory to be generated on dirstate trees.
2996
(Aaron Bentley, #149254)
2997
2998
* New annotate merge (--merge-type=weave) implementation is fast on
2999
versionedfiles withough cached annotations, e.g. pack-0.92.
3000
(Aaron Bentley)
3001
3002
IMPROVEMENTS:
3003
3004
* ``bzr merge`` now warns when it encounters a criss-cross merge.
3005
(Aaron Bentley)
3006
3007
* ``bzr send`` now doesn't require the target e-mail address to be
3008
specified on the command line if an interactive e-mail client is used.
3009
(Lukáš Lalinský)
3010
3011
* ``bzr tags`` now prints the revision number for each tag, instead of
3012
the revision id, unless --show-ids is passed. In addition, tags can be
3013
sorted chronologically instead of lexicographically with --sort=time.
3014
(Adeodato Simó, #120231)
3015
3016
* Windows standalone version of bzr is able to load system-wide plugins from
3017
"plugins" subdirectory in installation directory. In addition standalone
3018
installer write to the registry (HKLM\SOFTWARE\Bazaar) useful info
3019
about paths and bzr version. (Alexander Belchenko, #129298)

* Branching from a branch via smart server now preserves the repository
3029
format. (Andrew Bennetts, #164626)
3030
3031
* ``commit`` is now able to invoke an external editor in a non-ascii
3032
directory. (Daniel Watkins, #84043)
3033
3034
* Catch connection errors for ftp.
3035
(Vincent Ladeuil, #164567)
3036
3037
* ``check`` no longer reports spurious unreferenced text versions.
3038
(Robert Collins, John A Meinel, #162931, #165071)
3039
3040
* Conflicts are now resolved recursively by ``revert``.

3043
* Detect invalid transport reuse attempts by catching invalid URLs.
3044
(Vincent Ladeuil, #161819)

* Deleting a file without removing it shows a correct diff, not a traceback.
3047
(Aaron Bentley)
3048
3049
* Do no use timeout in HttpServer anymore.
3050
(Vincent Ladeuil, #158972).
3051
3052
* Don't catch the exceptions related to the http pipeline status before
3053
retrying an http request or some programming errors may be masked.
3054
(Vincent Ladeuil, #160012)
3055
3056
* Fix ``bzr rm`` to not delete modified and ignored files.
3057
(Lukáš Lalinský, #172598)
3058
3059
* Fix exception when revisionspec contains merge revisons but log
3060
formatter doesn't support merge revisions. (Kent Gibson, #148908)
3061
3062
* Fix exception when ScopeReplacer is assigned to before any members have
3063
been retrieved. (Aaron Bentley)
3064
3065
* Fix multiple connections during checkout --lightweight.
3066
(Vincent Ladeuil, #159150)
3067
3068
* Fix possible error in insert_data_stream when copying between
3069
pack repositories over bzr+ssh or bzr+http.
3070
KnitVersionedFile.get_data_stream now makes sure that requested
3071
compression parents are sent before any delta hunks that depend
3072
on them.
3073
(Martin Pool, #164637)
3074
3075
* Fix typo in limiting offsets coalescing for http, leading to
3076
whole files being downloaded instead of parts.
3077
(Vincent Ladeuil, #165061)
3078
3079
* FTP server errors don't error in the error handling code.
3080
(Robert Collins, #161240)
3081
3082
* Give a clearer message when a pull fails because the source needs
3083
to be reconciled.
3084
(Martin Pool, #164443)
3085
3086
* It is clearer when a plugin cannot be loaded because of its name, and a
3087
suggestion for an acceptable name is given. (Daniel Watkins, #103023)
3088
3089
* Leave port as None in transport objects if user doesn't
3090
specify a port in urls.
3091
(vincent Ladeuil, #150860)
3092
3093
* Make sure Repository.fetch(self) is properly a no-op for all
3094
Repository implementations. (John Arbash Meinel, #158333)
3095
3096
* Mark .bzr directories as "hidden" on Windows.
3097
(Alexander Belchenko, #71147)
3098
3099
* ``merge --uncommitted`` can now operate on a single file.
3100
(Aaron Bentley, Lukáš Lalinský, #136890)
3101
3102
* Obsolete packs are now cleaned up by pack and autopack operations.
3103
(Robert Collins, #153789)
3104
3105
* Operations pulling data from a smart server where the underlying
3106
repositories are not both annotated/both unannotated will now work.
3107
(Robert Collins, #165304).
3108
3109
* Reconcile now shows progress bars. (Robert Collins, #159351)
3110
3111
* ``RemoteBranch`` was not initializing ``self._revision_id_to_revno_map``
3112
properly. (John Arbash Meinel, #162486)
3113
3114
* Removing an already-removed file reports the file does not exist. (Daniel
3115
Watkins, #152811)
3116
3117
* Rename on Windows is able to change filename case.
3118
(Alexander Belchenko, #77740)
3119
3120
* Return error instead of a traceback for ``bzr log -r0``.
3121
(Kent Gibson, #133751)
3122
3123
* Return error instead of a traceback when bzr is unable to create
3124
symlink on some platforms (e.g. on Windows).
3125
(Alexander Belchenko, workaround for #81689)
3126
3127
* Revert doesn't crash when restoring a single file from a deleted
3128
directory. (Aaron Bentley)
3129
3130
* Stderr output via logging mechanism now goes through encoded wrapper
3131
and no more uses utf-8, but terminal encoding instead. So all unicode
3132
strings now should be readable in non-utf-8 terminal.
3133
(Alexander Belchenko, #54173)
3134
3135
* The error message when ``move --after`` should be used makes how to do so
3136
clearer. (Daniel Watkins, #85237)
3137
3138
* Unicode-safe output from ``bzr info``. The output will be encoded
3139
using the terminal encoding and unrepresentable characters will be
3140
replaced by '?'. (Lukáš Lalinský, #151844)
3141
3142
* Working trees are no longer created when pushing into a local no-trees
3143
repo. (Daniel Watkins, #50582)
3144
3145
* Upgrade util/configobj to version 4.4.0.
3146
(Vincent Ladeuil, #151208).
3147
3148
* Wrap medusa ftp test server as an FTPServer feature.
3149
(Vincent Ladeuil, #157752)
3150
3151
API BREAKS:
3152
3153
* ``osutils.backup_file`` is deprecated. Actually it's not used in bzrlib
3154
during very long time. (Alexander Belchenko)
3155
3156
* The return value of
3157
``VersionedFile.iter_lines_added_or_present_in_versions`` has been
3158
changed. Previously it was an iterator of lines, now it is an iterator of
3159
(line, version_id) tuples. This change has been made to aid reconcile and
3160
fetch operations. (Robert Collins)
3161
3162
* ``bzrlib.repository.get_versioned_file_checker`` is now private.
3163
(Robert Collins)
3164
3165
* The Repository format registry default has been removed; it was previously
3166
obsoleted by the bzrdir format default, which implies a default repository
3167
format.
3168
(Martin Pool)
3169
3170
INTERNALS:
3171
3172
* Added ``ContainerSerialiser`` and ``ContainerPushParser`` to
3173
``bzrlib.pack``. These classes provide more convenient APIs for generating
3174
and parsing containers from streams rather than from files. (Andrew
3175
Bennetts)
3176
3177
* New module ``lru_cache`` providing a cache for use by tasks that need
3178
semi-random access to large amounts of data. (John A Meinel)
3179
3180
* InventoryEntry.diff is now deprecated. Please use diff.DiffTree instead.

NOTES WHEN UPGRADING:
3197
3198
CHANGES:
3199
3200
* ``bzr`` now returns exit code 4 if an internal error occurred, and
3201
3 if a normal error occurred. (Martin Pool)
3202
3203
* ``pull``, ``merge`` and ``push`` will no longer silently correct some
3204
repository index errors that occured as a result of the Weave disk format.
3205
Instead the ``reconcile`` command needs to be run to correct those
3206
problems if they exist (and it has been able to fix most such problems
3207
since bzr 0.8). Some new problems have been identified during this release
3208
and you should run ``bzr check`` once on every repository to see if you
3209
need to reconcile. If you cannot ``pull`` or ``merge`` from a remote
3210
repository due to mismatched parent errors - a symptom of index errors -
3211
you should simply take a full copy of that remote repository to a clean
3212
directory outside any local repositories, then run reconcile on it, and
3213
finally pull from it locally. (And naturally email the repositories owner
3214
to ask them to upgrade and run reconcile).
3215
(Robert Collins)
3216
3217
FEATURES:
3218
3219
* New ``knitpack-experimental`` repository format. This is interoperable with
3220
the ``dirstate-tags`` format but uses a smarter storage design that greatly
3221
speeds up many operations, both local and remote. This new format can be
3222
used as an option to the ``init``, ``init-repository`` and ``upgrade``
3223
commands. See http://doc.bazaar-vcs.org/0.92/developers/knitpack.html
3224
for further details. (Robert Collins)
3225
3226
* For users of bzr-svn (and those testing the prototype subtree support) that
3227
wish to try packs, a new ``knitpack-subtree-experimental`` format has also
3228
been added. This is interoperable with the ``dirstate-subtrees`` format.
3229
(Robert Collins)
3230
3231
* New ``reconfigure`` command. (Aaron Bentley)
3232
3233
* New ``revert --forget-merges`` command, which removes the record of a pending
3234
merge without affecting the working tree contents. (Martin Pool)
3235
3236
* New ``bzr_remote_path`` configuration variable allows finer control of
3237
remote bzr locations than BZR_REMOTE_PATH environment variable.
3238
(Aaron Bentley)
3239
3240
* New ``launchpad-login`` command to tell Bazaar your Launchpad
3241
user ID. This can then be used by other functions of the
3242
Launchpad plugin. (James Henstridge)
3243
3244
PERFORMANCE:
3245
3246
* Commit in quiet mode is now slightly faster as the information to
3247
output is no longer calculated. (Ian Clatworthy)
3248
3249
* Commit no longer checks for new text keys during insertion when the
3250
revision id was deterministically unique. (Robert Collins)
3251
3252
* Committing a change which is not a merge and does not change the number of
3253
files in the tree is faster by utilising the data about whether files are
3254
changed to determine if the tree is unchanged rather than recalculating
3255
it at the end of the commit process. (Robert Collins)
3256
3257
* Inventory serialisation no longer double-sha's the content.
3258
(Robert Collins)
3259
3260
* Knit text reconstruction now avoids making copies of the lines list for
3261
interim texts when building a single text. The new ``apply_delta`` method
3262
on ``KnitContent`` aids this by allowing modification of the revision id
3263
such objects represent. (Robert Collins)
3264
3265
* Pack indices are now partially parsed for specific key lookup using a
3266
bisection approach. (Robert Collins)
3267
3268
* Partial commits are now approximately 40% faster by walking over the
3269
unselected current tree more efficiently. (Robert Collins)
3270
3271
* XML inventory serialisation takes 20% less time while being stricter about
3272
the contents. (Robert Collins)
3273
3274
* Graph ``heads()`` queries have been fixed to no longer access all history
3275
unnecessarily. (Robert Collins)
3276
3277
IMPROVEMENTS:
3278
3279
* ``bzr+https://`` smart server across https now supported.
3280
(John Ferlito, Martin Pool, #128456)
3281
3282
* Mutt is now a supported mail client; set ``mail_client=mutt`` in your
3283
bazaar.conf and ``send`` will use mutt. (Keir Mierle)
3284
3285
* New option ``-c``/``--change`` for ``merge`` command for cherrypicking
3286
changes from one revision. (Alexander Belchenko, #141368)
3287
3288
* Show encodings, locale and list of plugins in the traceback message.
3289
(Martin Pool, #63894)
3290
3291
* Experimental directory formats can now be marked with
3292
``experimental = True`` during registration. (Ian Clatworthy)
3293
3294
DOCUMENTATION:
3295
3296
* New *Bazaar in Five Minutes* guide. (Matthew Revell)
3297
3298
* The hooks reference documentation is now converted to html as expected.
3299
(Ian Clatworthy)
3300
3301
BUG FIXES:
3302
3303
* Connection error reporting for the smart server has been fixed to
3304
display a user friendly message instead of a traceback.
3305
(Ian Clatworthy, #115601)
3306
3307
* Make sure to use ``O_BINARY`` when opening files to check their
3308
sha1sum. (Alexander Belchenko, John Arbash Meinel, #153493)
3309
3310
* Fix a problem with Win32 handling of the executable bit.
3311
(John Arbash Meinel, #149113)
3312
3313
* ``bzr+ssh://`` and ``sftp://`` URLs that do not specify ports explicitly
3314
no longer assume that means port 22. This allows people using OpenSSH to
3315
override the default port in their ``~/.ssh/config`` if they wish. This
3316
fixes a bug introduced in bzr 0.91. (Andrew Bennetts, #146715)
3317
3318
* Commands reporting exceptions can now be profiled and still have their
3319
data correctly dumped to a file. For example, a ``bzr commit`` with
3320
no changes still reports the operation as pointless but doing so no
3321
longer throws away the profiling data if this command is run with
3322
``--lsprof-file callgrind.out.ci`` say. (Ian Clatworthy)
3323
3324
* Fallback to ftp when paramiko is not installed and sftp can't be used for
3325
``tests/commands`` so that the test suite is still usable without
3326
paramiko.
3327
(Vincent Ladeuil, #59150)
3328
3329
* Fix commit ordering in corner case. (Aaron Bentley, #94975)
3330
3331
* Fix long standing bug in partial commit when there are renames
3332
left in tree. (Robert Collins, #140419)
3333
3334
* Fix selftest semi-random noise during http related tests.
3335
(Vincent Ladeuil, #140614)
3336
3337
* Fix typo in ftp.py making the reconnection fail on temporary errors.
3338
(Vincent Ladeuil, #154259)
3339
3340
* Fix failing test by comparing real paths to cover the case where the TMPDIR
3341
contains a symbolic link.
3342
(Vincent Ladeuil, #141382).
3343
3344
* Fix log against smart server branches that don't support tags.
3345
(James Westby, #140615)
3346
3347
* Fix pycurl http implementation by defining error codes from
3348
pycurl instead of relying on an old curl definition.
3349
(Vincent Ladeuil, #147530)
3350
3351
* Fix 'unprintable error' message when displaying BzrCheckError and
3352
some other exceptions on Python 2.5.
3353
(Martin Pool, #144633)
3354
3355
* Fix ``Inventory.copy()`` and add test for it. (Jelmer Vernooij)
3356
3357
* Handles default value for ListOption in cmd_commit.
3358
(Vincent Ladeuil, #140432)
3359
3360
* HttpServer and FtpServer need to be closed properly or a listening socket
3361
will remain opened.
3362
(Vincent Ladeuil, #140055)
3363
3364
* Monitor the .bzr directory created in the top level test
3365
directory to detect leaking tests.
3366
(Vincent Ladeuil, #147986)
3367
3368
* The basename, not the full path, is now used when checking whether
3369
the profiling dump file begins with ``callgrind.out`` or not. This
3370
fixes a bug reported by Aaron Bentley on IRC. (Ian Clatworthy)
3371
3372
* Trivial fix for invoking command ``reconfigure`` without arguments.
3373
(Rob Weir, #141629)
3374
3375
* ``WorkingTree.rename_one`` will now raise an error if normalisation of the
3376
new path causes bzr to be unable to access the file. (Robert Collins)
3377
3378
* Correctly detect a NoSuchFile when using a filezilla server. (Gary van der
3379
Merwe)
3380
3381
API BREAKS:
3382
3383
* ``bzrlib.index.GraphIndex`` now requires a size parameter to the
3384
constructor, for enabling bisection searches. (Robert Collins)
3385
3386
* ``CommitBuilder.record_entry_contents`` now requires the root entry of a
3387
tree be supplied to it, previously failing to do so would trigger a
3388
deprecation warning. (Robert Collins)
3389
3390
* ``KnitVersionedFile.add*`` will no longer cache added records even when
3391
enable_cache() has been called - the caching feature is now exclusively for
3392
reading existing data. (Robert Collins)
3393
3394
* ``ReadOnlyLockError`` is deprecated; ``LockFailed`` is usually more
3395
appropriate. (Martin Pool)
3396
3397
* Removed ``bzrlib.transport.TransportLogger`` - please see the new
3398
``trace+`` transport instead. (Robert Collins)
3399
3400
* Removed previously deprecated varargs interface to ``TestCase.run_bzr`` and
3401
deprecated methods ``TestCase.capture`` and ``TestCase.run_bzr_captured``.
3402
(Martin Pool)
3403
3404
* Removed previous deprecated ``basis_knit`` parameter to the
3405
``KnitVersionedFile`` constructor. (Robert Collins)
3406
3407
* Special purpose method ``TestCase.run_bzr_decode`` is moved to the test_non_ascii
3408
class that needs it.
3409
(Martin Pool)
3410
3411
* The class ``bzrlib.repofmt.knitrepo.KnitRepository3`` has been folded into
3412
``KnitRepository`` by parameters to the constructor. (Robert Collins)
3413
3414
* The ``VersionedFile`` interface now allows content checks to be bypassed
3415
by supplying check_content=False. This saves nearly 30% of the minimum
3416
cost to store a version of a file. (Robert Collins)
3417
3418
* Tree's with bad state such as files with no length or sha will no longer
3419
be silently accepted by the repository XML serialiser. To serialise
3420
inventories without such data, pass working=True to write_inventory.
3421
(Robert Collins)
3422
3423
* ``VersionedFile.fix_parents`` has been removed as a harmful API.
3424
``VersionedFile.join`` will no longer accept different parents on either
3425
side of a join - it will either ignore them, or error, depending on the
3426
implementation. See notes when upgrading for more information.
3427
(Robert Collins)
3428
3429
INTERNALS:
3430
3431
* ``bzrlib.transport.Transport.put_file`` now returns the number of bytes
3432
put by the method call, to allow avoiding stat-after-write or
3433
housekeeping in callers. (Robert Collins)
3434
3435
* ``bzrlib.xml_serializer.Serializer`` is now responsible for checking that
3436
mandatory attributes are present on serialisation and deserialisation.
3437
This fixes some holes in API usage and allows better separation between
3438
physical storage and object serialisation. (Robert Collins)
3439
3440
* New class ``bzrlib.errors.InternalBzrError`` which is just a convenient
3441
shorthand for deriving from BzrError and setting internal_error = True.
3442
(Robert Collins)
3443
3444
* New method ``bzrlib.mutabletree.update_to_one_parent_via_delta`` for
3445
moving the state of a parent tree to a new version via a delta rather than
3446
a complete replacement tree. (Robert Collins)
3447
3448
* New method ``bzrlib.osutils.minimum_path_selection`` useful for removing
3449
duplication from user input, when a user mentions both a path and an item
3450
contained within that path. (Robert Collins)
3451
3452
* New method ``bzrlib.repository.Repository.is_write_locked`` useful for
3453
determining if a repository is write locked. (Robert Collins)
3454
3455
* New method on ``bzrlib.tree.Tree`` ``path_content_summary`` provides a
3456
tuple containing the key information about a path for commit processing
3457
to complete. (Robert Collins)
3458
3459
* New method on xml serialisers, write_inventory_to_lines, which matches the
3460
API used by knits for adding content. (Robert Collins)
3461
3462
* New module ``bzrlib.bisect_multi`` with generic multiple-bisection-at-once
3463
logic, currently only available for byte-based lookup
3464
(``bisect_multi_bytes``). (Robert Collins)
3465
3466
* New helper ``bzrlib.tuned_gzip.bytes_to_gzip`` which takes a byte string
3467
and returns a gzipped version of the same. This is used to avoid a bunch
3468
of api friction during adding of knit hunks. (Robert Collins)
3469
3470
* New parameter on ``bzrlib.transport.Transport.readv``
3471
``adjust_for_latency`` which changes readv from returning strictly the
3472
requested data to inserted return larger ranges and in forward read order
3473
to reduce the effect of network latency. (Robert Collins)
3474
3475
* New parameter yield_parents on ``Inventory.iter_entries_by_dir`` which
3476
causes the parents of a selected id to be returned recursively, so all the
3477
paths from the root down to each element of selected_file_ids are
3478
returned. (Robert Collins)
3479
3480
* Knit joining has been enhanced to support plain to annotated conversion
3481
and annotated to plain conversion. (Ian Clatworthy)
3482
3483
* The CommitBuilder method ``record_entry_contents`` now returns summary
3484
information about the effect of the commit on the repository. This tuple
3485
contains an inventory delta item if the entry changed from the basis, and a
3486
boolean indicating whether a new file graph node was recorded.
3487
(Robert Collins)
3488
3489
* The python path used in the Makefile can now be overridden.
3490
(Andrew Bennetts, Ian Clatworthy)
3491
3492
TESTING:
3493
3494
* New transport implementation ``trace+`` which is useful for testing,
3495
logging activity taken to its _activity attribute. (Robert Collins)
3496
3497
* When running bzr commands within the test suite, internal exceptions are
3498
not caught and reported in the usual way, but rather allowed to propagate
3499
up and be visible to the test suite. A new API ``run_bzr_catch_user_errors``
3500
makes this behavior available to other users.
3501
(Martin Pool)
3502
3503
* New method ``TestCase.call_catch_warnings`` for testing methods that
3504
raises a Python warning. (Martin Pool)
3505
3506
3507
bzr 0.91 2007-09-26
3508
-------------------
3509
3510
BUG FIXES:
3511
3512
* Print a warning instead of aborting the ``python setup.py install``
3513
process if building of a C extension is not possible.
3514
(Lukáš Lalinský, Alexander Belchenko)
3515
3516
* Fix commit ordering in corner case (Aaron Bentley, #94975)
3517
3518
* Fix ''bzr info bzr://host/'' and other operations on ''bzr://' URLs with
3519
an implicit port. We were incorrectly raising PathNotChild due to
3520
inconsistent treatment of the ''_port'' attribute on the Transport object.
3521
(Andrew Bennetts, #133965)
3522
3523
* Make RemoteRepository.sprout cope gracefully with servers that don't
3524
support the ``Repository.tarball`` request.
3525
(Andrew Bennetts)
3526
3527
3528
bzr 0.91rc2 2007-09-11
3529
----------------------
3530
3531
* Replaced incorrect tarball for previous release; a debug statement was left
3532
in bzrlib/remote.py.
3533
3534
3535
bzr 0.91rc1 2007-09-11
3536
----------------------
3537
3538
CHANGES:
3539
3540
* The default branch and repository format has changed to
3541
``dirstate-tags``, so tag commands are active by default.
3542
This format is compatible with Bazaar 0.15 and later.
3543
This incidentally fixes bug #126141.
3544
(Martin Pool)
3545
3546
* ``--quiet`` or ``-q`` is no longer a global option. If present, it
3547
must now appear after the command name. Scripts doing things like
3548
``bzr -q missing`` need to be rewritten as ``bzr missing -q``.
3549
(Ian Clatworthy)
3550
3551
FEATURES:
3552
3553
* New option ``--author`` in ``bzr commit`` to specify the author of the
3554
change, if it's different from the committer. ``bzr log`` and
3555
``bzr annotate`` display the author instead of the committer.
3556
(Lukáš Lalinský)
3557
3558
* In addition to global options and command specific options, a set of
3559
standard options are now supported. Standard options are legal for
3560
all commands. The initial set of standard options are:
3561
3562
* ``--help`` or ``-h`` - display help message
3563
* ``--verbose`` or ``-v`` - display additional information
3564
* ``--quiet`` or ``-q`` - only output warnings and errors.
3565
3566
Unlike global options, standard options can be used in aliases and
3567
may have command-specific help. (Ian Clatworthy)
3568
3569
* Verbosity level processing has now been unified. If ``--verbose``
3570
or ``-v`` is specified on the command line multiple times, the
3571
verbosity level is made positive the first time then increased.
3572
If ``--quiet`` or ``-q`` is specified on the command line
3573
multiple times, the verbosity level is made negative the first
3574
time then decreased. To get the default verbosity level of zero,
3575
either specify none of the above , ``--no-verbose`` or ``--no-quiet``.
3576
Note that most commands currently ignore the magnitude of the
3577
verbosity level but do respect *quiet vs normal vs verbose* when
3578
generating output. (Ian Clatworthy)
3579
3580
* ``Branch.hooks`` now supports ``pre_commit`` hook. The hook's signature
3581
is documented in BranchHooks constructor. (Nam T. Nguyen, #102747)
3582
3583
* New ``Repository.stream_knit_data_for_revisions`` request added to the
3584
network protocol for greatly reduced roundtrips when retrieving a set of
3585
revisions. (Andrew Bennetts)
3586
3587
BUG FIXES:
3588
3589
* ``bzr plugins`` now lists the version number for each plugin in square
3590
brackets after the path. (Robert Collins, #125421)
3591
3592
* Pushing, pulling and branching branches with subtree references was not
3593
copying the subtree weave, preventing the file graph from being accessed
3594
and causing errors in commits in clones. (Robert Collins)
3595
3596
* Suppress warning "integer argument expected, got float" from Paramiko,
3597
which sometimes caused false test failures. (Martin Pool)
3598
3599
* Fix bug in bundle 4 that could cause attempts to write data to wrong
3600
versionedfile. (Aaron Bentley)
3601
3602
* Diffs generated using "diff -p" no longer break the patch parser.
3603
(Aaron Bentley)
3604
3605
* get_transport treats an empty possible_transports list the same as a non-
3606
empty one. (Aaron Bentley)
3607
3608
* patch verification for merge directives is reactivated, and works with
3609
CRLF and CR files. (Aaron Bentley)
3610
3611
* Accept ..\ as a path in revision specifiers. This fixes for example
3612
"-r branch:..\other-branch" on Windows. (Lukáš Lalinský)
3613
3614
* ``BZR_PLUGIN_PATH`` may now contain trailing slashes.
3615
(Blake Winton, #129299)
3616
3617
* man page no longer lists hidden options (#131667, Aaron Bentley)
3618
3619
* ``uncommit --help`` now explains the -r option adequately. (Daniel
3620
Watkins, #106726)
3621
3622
* Error messages are now better formatted with parameters (such as
3623
filenames) quoted when necessary. This avoids confusion when directory
3624
names ending in a '.' at the end of messages were confused with a
3625
full stop that may or not have been there. (Daniel Watkins, #129791)
3626
3627
* Fix ``status FILE -r X..Y``. (Lukáš Lalinský)
3628
3629
* If a particular command is an alias, ``help`` will show the alias
3630
instead of claiming there is no help for said alias. (Daniel Watkins,
3631
#133548)
3632
3633
* TreeTransform-based operations, like pull, merge, revert, and branch,
3634
now roll back if they encounter an error. (Aaron Bentley, #67699)
3635
3636
* ``bzr commit`` now exits cleanly if a character unsupported by the
3637
current encoding is used in the commit message. (Daniel Watkins,
3638
#116143)
3639
3640
* bzr send uses default values for ranges when only half of an elipsis
3641
is specified ("-r..5" or "-r5.."). (#61685, Aaron Bentley)
3642
3643
* Avoid trouble when Windows ssh calls itself 'plink' but no plink
3644
binary is present. (Martin Albisetti, #107155)
3645
3646
* ``bzr remove`` should remove clean subtrees. Now it will remove (without
3647
needing ``--force``) subtrees that contain no files with text changes or
3648
modified files. With ``--force`` it removes the subtree regardless of
3649
text changes or unknown files. Directories with renames in or out (but
3650
not changed otherwise) will now be removed without needing ``--force``.
3651
Unknown ignored files will be deleted without needing ``--force``.
3652
(Marius Kruger, #111665)
3653
3654
* When two plugins conflict, the source of both the losing and now the
3655
winning definition is shown. (Konstantin Mikhaylov, #5454)
3656
3657
* When committing to a branch, the location being committed to is
3658
displayed. (Daniel Watkins, #52479)
3659
3660
* ``bzr --version`` takes care about encoding of stdout, especially
3661
when output is redirected. (Alexander Belchenko, #131100)
3662
3663
* Prompt for an ftp password if none is provided.
3664
(Vincent Ladeuil, #137044)
3665
3666
* Reuse bound branch associated transport to avoid multiple
3667
connections.
3668
(Vincent Ladeuil, #128076, #131396)
3669
3670
* Overwrite conflicting tags by ``push`` and ``pull`` if the
3671
``--overwrite`` option is specified. (Lukáš Lalinský, #93947)
3672
3673
* In checkouts, tags are copied into the master branch when created,
3674
changed or deleted, and are copied into the checkout when it is
3675
updated. (Martin Pool, #93856, #93860)
3676
3677
* Print a warning instead of aborting the ``python setup.py install``
3678
process if building of a C extension is not possible.
3679
(Lukáš Lalinský, Alexander Belchenko)
3680
3681
IMPROVEMENTS:
3682
3683
* Add the option "--show-diff" to the commit command in order to display
3684
the diff during the commit log creation. (Goffredo Baroncelli)
3685
3686
* ``pull`` and ``merge`` are much faster at installing bundle format 4.
3687
(Aaron Bentley)
3688
3689
* ``pull -v`` no longer includes deltas, making it much faster.
3690
(Aaron Bentley)
3691
3692
* ``send`` now sends the directive as an attachment by default.
3693
(Aaron Bentley, Lukáš Lalinský, Alexander Belchenko)
3694
3695
* Documentation updates (Martin Albisetti)
3696
3697
* Help on debug flags is now included in ``help global-options``.
3698
(Daniel Watkins, #124853)
3699
3700
* Parameters passed on the command line are checked to ensure they are
3701
supported by the encoding in use. (Daniel Watkins)
3702
3703
* The compression used within the bzr repository has changed from zlib
3704
level 9 to the zlib default level. This improves commit performance with
3705
only a small increase in space used (and in some cases a reduction in
3706
space). (Robert Collins)
3707
3708
* Initial commit no longer SHAs files twice and now reuses the path
3709
rather than looking it up again, making it faster.
3710
(Ian Clatworthy)
3711
3712
* New option ``-c``/``--change`` for ``diff`` and ``status`` to show
3713
changes in one revision. (Lukáš Lalinský)
3714
3715
* If versioned files match a given ignore pattern, a warning is now
3716
given. (Daniel Watkins, #48623)
3717
3718
* ``bzr status`` now has -S as a short name for --short and -V as a
3719
short name for --versioned. These have been added to assist users
3720
migrating from Subversion: ``bzr status -SV`` is now like
3721
``svn status -q``. (Daniel Watkins, #115990)
3722
3723
* Added C implementation of ``PatienceSequenceMatcher``, which is about
3724
10x faster than the Python version. This speeds up commands that
3725
need file diffing, such as ``bzr commit`` or ``bzr diff``.
3726
(Lukáš Lalinský)
3727
3728
* HACKING has been extended with a large section on core developer tasks.
3729
(Ian Clatworthy)
3730
3731
* Add ``branches`` and ``standalone-trees`` as online help topics and
3732
include them as Concepts within the User Reference.
3733
(Paul Moore, Ian Clatworthy)
3734
3735
* ``check`` can detect versionedfile parent references that are
3736
inconsistent with revision and inventory info, and ``reconcile`` can fix
3737
them. These faulty references were generated by 0.8-era releases,
3738
so repositories which were manipulated by old bzrs should be
3739
checked, and possibly reconciled ASAP. (Aaron Bentley, Andrew Bennetts)
3740
3741
API BREAKS:
3742
3743
* ``Branch.append_revision`` is removed altogether; please use
3744
``Branch.set_last_revision_info`` instead. (Martin Pool)
3745
3746
* CommitBuilder now advertises itself as requiring the root entry to be
3747
supplied. This only affects foreign repository implementations which reuse
3748
CommitBuilder directly and have changed record_entry_contents to require
3749
that the root not be supplied. This should be precisely zero plugins
3750
affected. (Robert Collins)
3751
3752
* The ``add_lines`` methods on ``VersionedFile`` implementations has changed
3753
its return value to include the sha1 and length of the inserted text. This
3754
allows the avoidance of double-sha1 calculations during commit.
3755
(Robert Collins)
3756
3757
* ``Transport.should_cache`` has been removed. It was not called in the
3758
previous release. (Martin Pool)
3759
3760
TESTING:
3761
3762
* Tests may now raise TestNotApplicable to indicate they shouldn't be
3763
run in a particular scenario. (Martin Pool)
3764
3765
* New function multiply_tests_from_modules to give a simpler interface
3766
to test parameterization. (Martin Pool, Robert Collins)
3767
3768
* ``Transport.should_cache`` has been removed. It was not called in the
3769
previous release. (Martin Pool)
3770
3771
* NULL_REVISION is returned to indicate the null revision, not None.
3772
(Aaron Bentley)
3773
3774
* Use UTF-8 encoded StringIO for log tests to avoid failures on
3775
non-ASCII committer names. (Lukáš Lalinský)
3776
3777
INTERNALS:
3778
3779
* ``bzrlib.plugin.all_plugins`` has been deprecated in favour of
3780
``bzrlib.plugin.plugins()`` which returns PlugIn objects that provide
3781
useful functionality for determining the path of a plugin, its tests, and
3782
its version information. (Robert Collins)
3783
3784
* Add the option user_encoding to the function 'show_diff_trees()'
3785
in order to move the user encoding at the UI level. (Goffredo Baroncelli)
3786
3787
* Add the function make_commit_message_template_encoded() and the function
3788
edit_commit_message_encoded() which handle encoded strings.
3789
This is done in order to mix the commit messages (which is a unicode
3790
string), and the diff which is a raw string. (Goffredo Baroncelli)
3791
3792
* CommitBuilder now defaults to using add_lines_with_ghosts, reducing
3793
overhead on non-weave repositories which don't require all parents to be
3794
present. (Robert Collins)
3795
3796
* Deprecated method ``find_previous_heads`` on
3797
``bzrlib.inventory.InventoryEntry``. This has been superseded by the use
3798
of ``parent_candidates`` and a separate heads check via the repository
3799
API. (Robert Collins)
3800
3801
* New trace function ``mutter_callsite`` will print out a subset of the
3802
stack to the log, which can be useful for gathering debug details.
3803
(Robert Collins)
3804
3805
* ``bzrlib.pack.ContainerWriter`` now tracks how many records have been
3806
added via a public attribute records_written. (Robert Collins)
3807
3808
* New method ``bzrlib.transport.Transport.get_recommended_page_size``.
3809
This provides a hint to users of transports as to the reasonable
3810
minimum data to read. In principle this can take latency and
3811
bandwidth into account on a per-connection basis, but for now it
3812
just has hard coded values based on the url. (e.g. http:// has a large
3813
page size, file:// has a small one.) (Robert Collins)
3814
3815
* New method on ``bzrlib.transport.Transport`` ``open_write_stream`` allows
3816
incremental addition of data to a file without requiring that all the
3817
data be buffered in memory. (Robert Collins)
3818
3819
* New methods on ``bzrlib.knit.KnitVersionedFile``:
3820
``get_data_stream(versions)``, ``insert_data_stream(stream)`` and
3821
``get_format_signature()``. These provide some infrastructure for
3822
efficiently streaming the knit data for a set of versions over the smart
3823
protocol.
3824
3825
* Knits with no annotation cache still produce correct annotations.
3826
(Aaron Bentley)
3827
3828
* Three new methods have been added to ``bzrlib.trace``:
3829
``set_verbosity_level``, ``get_verbosity_level`` and ``is_verbose``.
3830
``set_verbosity_level`` expects a numeric value: negative for quiet,
3831
zero for normal, positive for verbose. The size of the number can be
3832
used to determine just how quiet or verbose the application should be.
3833
The existing ``be_quiet`` and ``is_quiet`` routines have been
3834
integrated into this new scheme. (Ian Clatworthy)
3835
3836
* Options can now be delcared with a ``custom_callback`` parameter. If
3837
set, this routine is called after the option is processed. This feature
3838
is now used by the standard options ``verbose`` and ``quiet`` so that
3839
setting one implicitly resets the other. (Ian Clatworthy)
3840
3841
* Rather than declaring a new option from scratch in order to provide
3842
custom help, a centrally registered option can be decorated using the
3843
new ``bzrlib.Option.custom_help`` routine. In particular, this routine
3844
is useful when declaring better help for the ``verbose`` and ``quiet``
3845
standard options as the base definition of these is now more complex
3846
than before thanks to their use of a custom callback. (Ian Clatworthy)
3847
3848
* Tree._iter_changes(specific_file=[]) now iterates through no files,
3849
instead of iterating through all files. None is used to iterate through
3850
all files. (Aaron Bentley)
3851
3852
* WorkingTree.revert() now accepts None to revert all files. The use of
3853
[] to revert all files is deprecated. (Aaron Bentley)

-------------------
3858
3859
IMPROVEMENTS:
3860
3861
* Documentation is now organized into multiple directories with a level
3862
added for different languages or locales. Added the Mini Tutorial
3863
and Quick Start Summary (en) documents from the Wiki, improving the
3864
content and readability of the former. Formatted NEWS as Release Notes
3865
complete with a Table of Conents, one heading per release. Moved the
3866
Developer Guide into the main document catalog and provided a link
3867
from the developer document catalog back to the main one.
3868
(Ian Clatworthy, Sabin Iacob, Alexander Belchenko)
3869
3870
3871
API CHANGES:
3872
3873
* The static convenience method ``BzrDir.create_repository``
3874
is deprecated. Callers should instead create a ``BzrDir`` instance
3875
and call ``create_repository`` on that. (Martin Pool)
3876
3877
3878
bzr 0.90rc1 2007-08-14
3879
----------------------
3880
3881
BUGFIXES:
3882
3883
* ``bzr init`` should connect to the remote location one time only. We
3884
have been connecting several times because we forget to pass around the
3885
Transport object. This modifies ``BzrDir.create_branch_convenience``,
3886
so that we can give it the Transport we already have.
3887
(John Arbash Meinel, Vincent Ladeuil, #111702)
3888
3889
* Get rid of sftp connection cache (get rid of the FTP one too).
3890
(Vincent Ladeuil, #43731)
3891
3892
* bzr branch {local|remote} remote don't try to create a working tree
3893
anymore.
3894
(Vincent Ladeuil, #112173)
3895
3896
* All identified multiple connections for a single bzr command have been
3897
fixed. See bzrlib/tests/commands directory.
3898
(Vincent Ladeuil)
3899
3900
* ``bzr rm`` now does not insist on ``--force`` to delete files that
3901
have been renamed but not otherwise modified. (Marius Kruger,
3902
#111664)
3903
3904
* ``bzr selftest --bench`` no longer emits deprecation warnings
3905
(Lukáš Lalinský)
3906
3907
* ``bzr status`` now honours FILE parameters for conflict lists
3908
(Aaron Bentley, #127606)
3909
3910
* ``bzr checkout`` now honours -r when reconstituting a working tree.
3911
It also honours -r 0. (Aaron Bentley, #127708)
3912
3913
* ``bzr add *`` no more fails on Windows if working tree contains
3914
non-ascii file names. (Kuno Meyer, #127361)
3915
3916
* allow ``easy_install bzr`` runs without fatal errors.
3917
(Alexander Belchenko, #125521)
3918
3919
* Graph._filter_candidate_lca does not raise KeyError if a candidate
3920
is eliminated just before it would normally be examined. (Aaron Bentley)
3921
3922
* SMTP connection failures produce a nice message, not a traceback.
3923
(Aaron Bentley)
3924
3925
IMPROVEMENTS:
3926
3927
* Don't show "dots" progress indicators when run non-interactively, such
3928
as from cron. (Martin Pool)
3929
3930
* ``info`` now formats locations more nicely and lists "submit" and
3931
"public" branches (Aaron Bentley)
3932
3933
* New ``pack`` command that will trigger database compression within
3934
the repository (Robert Collins)
3935
3936
* Implement ``_KnitIndex._load_data`` in a pyrex extension. The pyrex
3937
version is approximately 2-3x faster at parsing a ``.kndx`` file.
3938
Which yields a measurable improvement for commands which have to
3939
read from the repository, such as a 1s => 0.75s improvement in
3940
``bzr diff`` when there are changes to be shown. (John Arbash Meinel)
3941
3942
* Merge is now faster. Depending on the scenario, it can be more than 2x
3943
faster. (Aaron Bentley)
3944
3945
* Give a clearer warning, and allow ``python setup.py install`` to
3946
succeed even if pyrex is not available.
3947
(John Arbash Meinel)
3948
3949
* ``DirState._read_dirblocks`` now has an optional Pyrex
3950
implementation. This improves the speed of any command that has to
3951
read the entire DirState. (``diff``, ``status``, etc, improve by
3952
about 10%).
3953
``bisect_dirblocks`` has also been improved, which helps all
3954
``_get_entry`` type calls (whenever we are searching for a
3955
particular entry in the in-memory DirState).
3956
(John Arbash Meinel)
3957
3958
* ``bzr pull`` and ``bzr push`` no longer do a complete walk of the
3959
branch revision history for ui display unless -v is supplied.
3960
(Robert Collins)
3961
3962
* ``bzr log -rA..B`` output shifted to the left margin if the log only
3963
contains merge revisions. (Kent Gibson)
3964
3965
* The ``plugins`` command is now public with improved help.
3966
(Ian Clatworthy)
3967
3968
* New bundle and merge directive formats are faster to generate, and
3969
3970
* Annotate merge now works when there are local changes. (Aaron Bentley)
3971
3972
* Commit now only shows the progress in terms of directories instead of
3973
entries. (Ian Clatworthy)
3974
3975
* Fix ``KnitRepository.get_revision_graph`` to not request the graph 2
3976
times. This makes ``get_revision_graph`` 2x faster. (John Arbash
3977
Meinel)
3978
3979
* Fix ``VersionedFile.get_graph()`` to avoid using
3980
``set.difference_update(other)``, which has bad scaling when
3981
``other`` is large. This improves ``VF.get_graph([version_id])`` for
3982
a 12.5k graph from 2.9s down to 200ms. (John Arbash Meinel)
3983
3984
* The ``--lsprof-file`` option now generates output for KCacheGrind if
3985
the file starts with ``callgrind.out``. This matches the default file
3986
filtering done by KCacheGrind's Open Dialog. (Ian Clatworthy)
3987
3988
* Fix ``bzr update`` to avoid an unnecessary
3989
``branch.get_master_branch`` call, which avoids 1 extra connection
3990
to the remote server. (Partial fix for #128076, John Arbash Meinel)
3991
3992
* Log errors from the smart server in the trace file, to make debugging
3993
test failures (and live failures!) easier. (Andrew Bennetts)
3994
3995
* The HTML version of the man page has been superceded by a more
3996
comprehensive manual called the Bazaar User Reference. This manual
3997
is completed generated from the online help topics. As part of this
3998
change, limited reStructuredText is now explicitly supported in help
3999
topics and command help with 'unnatural' markup being removed prior
4000
to display by the online help or inclusion in the man page.
4001
(Ian Clatworthy)
4002
4003
* HTML documentation now use files extension ``*.html``
4004
(Alexander Belchenko)
4005
4006
* The cache of ignore definitions is now cleared in WorkingTree.unlock()
4007
so that changes to .bzrignore aren't missed. (#129694, Daniel Watkins)
4008
4009
* ``bzr selftest --strict`` fails if there are any missing features or
4010
expected test failures. (Daniel Watkins, #111914)
4011
4012
* Link to registration survey added to README. (Ian Clatworthy)
4013
4014
* Windows standalone installer show link to registration survey
4015
when installation finished. (Alexander Belchenko)
4016
4017
LIBRARY API BREAKS:
4018
4019
* Deprecated dictionary ``bzrlib.option.SHORT_OPTIONS`` removed.
4020
Options are now required to provide a help string and it must
4021
comply with the style guide by being one or more sentences with an
4022
initial capital and final period. (Martin Pool)
4023
4024
* KnitIndex.get_parents now returns tuples. (Robert Collins)
4025
4026
* Ancient unused ``Repository.text_store`` attribute has been removed.
4027
(Robert Collins)
4028
4029
* The ``bzrlib.pack`` interface has changed to use tuples of bytestrings
4030
rather than just bytestrings, making it easier to represent multiple
4031
element names. As this interface was not used by any internal facilities
4032
since it was introduced in 0.18 no API compatibility is being preserved.
4033
The serialised form of these packs is identical with 0.18 when a single
4034
element tuple is in use. (Robert Collins)
4035
4036
INTERNALS:
4037
4038
* merge now uses ``iter_changes`` to calculate changes, which makes room for
4039
future performance increases. It is also more consistent with other
4040
operations that perform comparisons, and reduces reliance on
4041
Tree.inventory. (Aaron Bentley)
4042
4043
* Refactoring of transport classes connected to a remote server.
4044
ConnectedTransport is a new class that serves as a basis for all
4045
transports needing to connect to a remote server. transport.split_url
4046
have been deprecated, use the static method on the object instead. URL
4047
tests have been refactored too.
4048
(Vincent Ladeuil)
4049
4050
* Better connection sharing for ConnectedTransport objects.
4051
transport.get_transport() now accepts a 'possible_transports' parameter.
4052
If a newly requested transport can share a connection with one of the
4053
list, it will.
4054
(Vincent Ladeuil)
4055
4056
* Most functions now accept ``bzrlib.revision.NULL_REVISION`` to indicate
4057
the null revision, and consider using ``None`` for this purpose
4058
deprecated. (Aaron Bentley)
4059
4060
* New ``index`` module with abstract index functionality. This will be
4061
used during the planned changes in the repository layer. Currently the
4062
index layer provides a graph aware immutable index, a builder for the
4063
same index type to allow creating them, and finally a composer for
4064
such indices to allow the use of many indices in a single query. The
4065
index performance is not optimised, however the API is stable to allow
4066
development on top of the index. (Robert Collins)
4067
4068
* ``bzrlib.dirstate.cmp_by_dirs`` can be used to compare two paths by
4069
their directory sections. This is equivalent to comparing
4070
``path.split('/')``, only without having to split the paths.
4071
This has a Pyrex implementation available.
4072
(John Arbash Meinel)
4073
4074
* New transport decorator 'unlistable+' which disables the list_dir
4075
functionality for testing.
4076
4077
* Deprecated ``change_entry`` in transform.py. (Ian Clatworthy)
4078
4079
* RevisionTree.get_weave is now deprecated. Tree.plan_merge is now used
4080
for performing annotate-merge. (Aaron Bentley)
4081
4082
* New EmailMessage class to create email messages. (Adeodato Simó)
4083
4084
* Unused functions on the private interface KnitIndex have been removed.
4085
(Robert Collins)
4086
4087
* New ``knit.KnitGraphIndex`` which provides a ``KnitIndex`` layered on top
4088
of a ``index.GraphIndex``. (Robert Collins)
4089
4090
* New ``knit.KnitVersionedFile.iter_parents`` method that allows querying
4091
the parents of many knit nodes at once, reducing round trips to the
4092
underlying index. (Robert Collins)
4093
4094
* Graph now has an is_ancestor method, various bits use it.
4095
(Aaron Bentley)
4096
4097
* The ``-Dhpss`` flag now includes timing information. As well as
4098
logging when a new connection is opened. (John Arbash Meinel)
4099
4100
* ``bzrlib.pack.ContainerWriter`` now returns an offset, length tuple to
4101
callers when inserting data, allowing generation of readv style access
4102
during pack creation, without needing a separate pass across the output
4103
pack to gather such details. (Robert Collins)
4104
4105
* ``bzrlib.pack.make_readv_reader`` allows readv based access to pack
4106
files that are stored on a transport. (Robert Collins)
4107
4108
* New ``Repository.has_same_location`` method that reports if two
4109
repository objects refer to the same repository (although with some risk
4110
of false negatives). (Andrew Bennetts)
4111
4112
* InterTree.compare now passes require_versioned on correctly.
4113
(Marius Kruger)
4114
4115
* New methods on Repository - ``start_write_group``,
4116
``commit_write_group``, ``abort_write_group`` and ``is_in_write_group`` -
4117
which provide a clean hook point for transactional Repositories - ones
4118
where all the data for a fetch or commit needs to be made atomically
4119
available in one step. This allows the write lock to remain while making
4120
a series of data insertions. (e.g. data conversion). (Robert Collins)
4121
4122
* In ``bzrlib.knit`` the internal interface has been altered to use
4123
3-tuples (index, pos, length) rather than two-tuples (pos, length) to
4124
describe where data in a knit is, allowing knits to be split into
4125
many files. (Robert Collins)
4126
4127
* ``bzrlib.knit._KnitData`` split into cache management and physical access
4128
with two access classes - ``_PackAccess`` and ``_KnitAccess`` defined.
4129
The former provides access into a .pack file, and the latter provides the
4130
current production repository form of .knit files. (Robert Collins)
4131
4132
TESTING:
4133
4134
* Remove selftest ``--clean-output``, ``--numbered-dirs`` and
4135
``--keep-output`` options, which are obsolete now that tests
4136
are done within directories in $TMPDIR. (Martin Pool)
4137
4138
* The SSH_AUTH_SOCK environment variable is now reset to avoid
4139
interaction with any running ssh agents. (Jelmer Vernooij, #125955)
4140
4141
* run_bzr_subprocess handles parameters the same way as run_bzr:
4142
either a string or a list of strings should be passed as the first
4143
parameter. Varargs-style parameters are deprecated. (Aaron Bentley)

* Commands that use status flags now have a reference to 'help
4167
status-flags'. (Daniel Watkins, #113436)
4168
4169
* Work around python-2.4.1 inhability to correctly parse the
4170
authentication header.
4171
(Vincent Ladeuil, #121889)
4172
4173
* Use exact encoding for merge directives. (Adeodato Simó, #120591)
4174
4175
* Fix tempfile permissions error in smart server tar bundling under
4176
Windows. (Martin _, #119330)
4177
4178
* Fix detection of directory entries in the inventory. (James Westby)
4179
4180
* Fix handling of http code 400: Bad Request When issuing too many ranges.
4181
(Vincent Ladeuil, #115209)
4182
4183
* Issue a CONNECT request when connecting to an https server
4184
via a proxy to enable SSL tunneling.
4185
(Vincent Ladeuil, #120678)
4186
4187
* Fix ``bzr log -r`` to support selecting merge revisions, both
4188
individually and as part of revision ranges.
4189
(Kent Gibson, #4663)
4190
4191
* Don't leave cruft behind when failing to acquire a lockdir.
4192
(Martin Pool, #109169)
4193
4194
* Don't use the '-f' strace option during tests.
4195
(Vincent Ladeuil, #102019).
4196
4197
* Warn when setting ``push_location`` to a value that will be masked by
4198
locations.conf. (Aaron Bentley, #122286)
4199
4200
* Fix commit ordering in corner case (Aaron Bentley, #94975)
4201
4202
* Make annotate behave in a non-ASCII world (Adeodato Simó).
4203
4204
IMPROVEMENTS:
4205
4206
* The --lsprof-file option now dumps a text rendering of the profiling
4207
information if the filename ends in ".txt". It will also convert the
4208
profiling information to a format suitable for KCacheGrind if the
4209
output filename ends in ".callgrind". Fixes to the lsprofcalltree
4210
conversion process by Jean Paul Calderone and Itamar were also merged.
4211
See http://ddaa.net/blog/python/lsprof-calltree. (Ian Clatworthy)
4212
4213
* ``info`` now defaults to non-verbose mode, displaying only paths and
4214
abbreviated format info. ``info -v`` displays all the information
4215
formerly displayed by ``info``. (Aaron Bentley, Adeodato Simó)
4216
4217
* ``bzr missing`` now has better option names ``--this`` and ``--other``.
4218
(Elliot Murphy)
4219
4220
* The internal ``weave-list`` command has become ``versionedfile-list``,
4221
and now lists knits as well as weaves. (Aaron Bentley)
4222
4223
* Automatic merge base selection uses a faster algorithm that chooses
4224
better bases in criss-cross merge situations (Aaron Bentley)
4225
4226
* Progress reporting in ``commit`` has been improved. The various logical
4227
stages are now reported on as follows, namely:
4228
4229
* Collecting changes [Entry x/y] - Stage n/m
4230
* Saving data locally - Stage n/m
4231
* Uploading data to master branch - Stage n/m
4232
* Updating the working tree - Stage n/m
4233
* Running post commit hooks - Stage n/m
4234
4235
If there is no master branch, the 3rd stage is omitted and the total
4236
number of stages is adjusted accordingly.
4237
4238
Each hook that is run after commit is listed with a name (as hooks
4239
can be slow it is useful feedback).
4240
(Ian Clatworthy, Robert Collins)
4241
4242
* Various operations that are now faster due to avoiding unnecessary
4243
topological sorts. (Aaron Bentley)
4244
4245
* Make merge directives robust against broken bundles. (Aaron Bentley)
4246
4247
* The lsprof filename note is emitted via trace.note(), not standard
4248
output. (Aaron Bentley)
4249
4250
* ``bzrlib`` now exports explicit API compatibility information to assist
4251
library users and plugins. See the ``bzrlib.api`` module for details.
4252
(Robert Collins)
4253
4254
* Remove unnecessary lock probes when acquiring a lockdir.
4255
(Martin Pool)
4256
4257
* ``bzr --version`` now shows the location of the bzr log file, which
4258
is especially useful on Windows. (Martin Pool)
4259
4260
* -D now supports hooks to get debug tracing of hooks (though its currently
4261
minimal in nature). (Robert Collins)
4262
4263
* Long log format reports deltas on merge revisions.
4264
(John Arbash Meinel, Kent Gibson)
4265
4266
* Make initial push over ftp more resilient. (John Arbash Meinel)
4267
4268
* Print a summary of changes for update just like pull does.
4269
(Daniel Watkins, #113990)
4270
4271
* Add a -Dhpss option to trace smart protocol requests and responses.
4272
(Andrew Bennetts)
4273
4274
LIBRARY API BREAKS:
4275
4276
* Testing cleanups -
4277
``bzrlib.repository.RepositoryTestProviderAdapter`` has been moved
4278
to ``bzrlib.tests.repository_implementations``;
4279
``bzrlib.repository.InterRepositoryTestProviderAdapter`` has been moved
4280
to ``bzrlib.tests.interrepository_implementations``;
4281
``bzrlib.transport.TransportTestProviderAdapter`` has moved to
4282
``bzrlib.tests.test_transport_implementations``.
4283
``bzrlib.branch.BranchTestProviderAdapter`` has moved to
4284
``bzrlib.tests.branch_implementations``.
4285
``bzrlib.bzrdir.BzrDirTestProviderAdapter`` has moved to
4286
``bzrlib.tests.bzrdir_implementations``.
4287
``bzrlib.versionedfile.InterVersionedFileTestProviderAdapter`` has moved
4288
to ``bzrlib.tests.interversionedfile_implementations``.
4289
``bzrlib.store.revision.RevisionStoreTestProviderAdapter`` has moved to
4290
``bzrlib.tests.revisionstore_implementations``.
4291
``bzrlib.workingtree.WorkingTreeTestProviderAdapter`` has moved to
4292
``bzrlib.tests.workingtree_implementations``.
4293
These changes are an API break in the testing infrastructure only.
4294
(Robert Collins)
4295
4296
* Relocate TestCaseWithRepository to be more central. (Robert Collins)
4297
4298
* ``bzrlib.add.smart_add_tree`` will no longer perform glob expansion on
4299
win32. Callers of the function should do this and use the new
4300
``MutableTree.smart_add`` method instead. (Robert Collins)
4301
4302
* ``bzrlib.add.glob_expand_for_win32`` is now
4303
``bzrlib.win32utils.glob_expand``. (Robert Collins)
4304
4305
* ``bzrlib.add.FastPath`` is now private and moved to
4306
``bzrlib.mutabletree._FastPath``. (Robert Collins, Martin Pool)
4307
4308
* ``LockDir.wait`` removed. (Martin Pool)
4309
4310
* The ``SmartServer`` hooks API has changed for the ``server_started`` and
4311
``server_stopped`` hooks. The first parameter is now an iterable of
4312
backing URLs rather than a single URL. This is to reflect that many
4313
URLs may map to the external URL of the server. E.g. the server interally
4314
may have a chrooted URL but also the local file:// URL will be at the
4315
same location. (Robert Collins)
4316
4317
INTERNALS:
4318
4319
* New SMTPConnection class to unify email handling. (Adeodato Simó)
4320
4321
* Fix documentation of BzrError. (Adeodato Simó)
4322
4323
* Make BzrBadParameter an internal error. (Adeodato Simó)
4324
4325
* Remove use of 'assert False' to raise an exception unconditionally.
4326
(Martin Pool)
4327
4328
* Give a cleaner error when failing to decode knit index entry.
4329
(Martin Pool)
4330
4331
* TreeConfig would mistakenly search the top level when asked for options
4332
from a section. It now respects the section argument and only
4333
searches the specified section. (James Westby)
4334
4335
* Improve ``make api-docs`` output. (John Arbash Meinel)
4336
4337
* Use os.lstat rather than os.stat for osutils.make_readonly and
4338
osutils.make_writeable. This makes the difftools plugin more
4339
robust when dangling symlinks are found. (Elliot Murphy)
4340
4341
* New ``-Dlock`` option to log (to ~/.bzr.log) information on when
4342
lockdirs are taken or released. (Martin Pool)
4343
4344
* ``bzrlib`` Hooks are now nameable using ``Hooks.name_hook``. This
4345
allows a nicer UI when hooks are running as the current hook can
4346
be displayed. (Robert Collins)
4347
4348
* ``Transport.get`` has had its interface made more clear for ease of use.
4349
Retrieval of a directory must now fail with either 'PathError' at open
4350
time, or raise 'ReadError' on a read. (Robert Collins)
4351
4352
* New method ``_maybe_expand_globs`` on the ``Command`` class for
4353
dealing with unexpanded glob lists - e.g. on the win32 platform. This
4354
was moved from ``bzrlib.add._prepare_file_list``. (Robert Collins)
4355
4356
* ``bzrlib.add.smart_add`` and ``bzrlib.add.smart_add_tree`` are now
4357
deprecated in favour of ``MutableTree.smart_add``. (Robert Collins,
4358
Martin Pool)
4359
4360
* New method ``external_url`` on Transport for obtaining the url to
4361
hand to external processes. (Robert Collins)
4362
4363
* Teach windows installers to build pyrex/C extensions.
4364
(Alexander Belchenko)
4365
4366
TESTING:
4367
4368
* Removed the ``--keep-output`` option from selftest and clean up test
4369
directories as they're used. This reduces the IO load from
4370
running the test suite and cuts the time by about half.
4371
(Andrew Bennetts, Martin Pool)
4372
4373
* Add scenarios as a public attribute on the TestAdapter classes to allow
4374
modification of the generated scenarios before adaption and easier
4375
testing. (Robert Collins)
4376
4377
* New testing support class ``TestScenarioApplier`` which multiplies
4378
out a single teste by a list of supplied scenarios. (RobertCollins)
4379
4380
* Setting ``repository_to_test_repository`` on a repository_implementations
4381
test will cause it to be called during repository creation, allowing the
4382
testing of repository classes which are not based around the Format
4383
concept. For example a repository adapter can be tested in this manner,
4384
by altering the repository scenarios to include a scenario that sets this
4385
attribute during the test parameterisation in
4386
``bzrlib.tests.repository.repository_implementations``. (Robert Collins)
4387
4388
* Clean up many of the APIs for blackbox testing of Bazaar. The standard
4389
interface is now self.run_bzr. The command to run can be passed as
4390
either a list of parameters, a string containing the command line, or
4391
(deprecated) varargs parameters. (Martin Pool)
4392
4393
* The base TestCase now isolates tests from -D parameters by clearing
4394
``debug.debug_flags`` and restores it afterwards. (Robert Collins)
4395
4396
* Add a relpath parameter to get_transport methods in test framework to
4397
avoid useless cloning.

4416
NOTES WHEN UPGRADING:
4417
4418
* The kind() and is_executable() APIs on the WorkingTree interface no
4419
longer implicitly (read) locks and unlocks the tree. This *might*
4420
impact some plug-ins and tools using this part of the API. If you find
4421
an issue that may be caused by this change, please let us know,
4422
particularly the plug-in/tool maintainer. If encountered, the API
4423
fix is to surround kind() and is_executable() calls with lock_read()
4424
and unlock() like so::
4425
4426
work_tree.lock_read()
4427
try:
4428
kind = work_tree.kind(...)
4429
finally:
4430
work_tree.unlock()
4431
4432
INTERNALS:
4433
* Rework of LogFormatter API to provide beginning/end of log hooks and to
4434
encapsulate the details of the revision to be logged in a LogRevision
4435
object.
4436
In long log formats, merge revision ids are only shown when --show-ids
4437
is specified, and are labelled "revision-id:", as per mainline
4438
revisions, instead of "merged:". (Kent Gibson)
4439
4440
* New ``BranchBuilder`` API which allows the construction of particular
4441
histories quickly. Useful for testing and potentially other applications
4442
too. (Robert Collins)
4443
4444
IMPROVEMENTS:
4445
4446
* There are two new help topics, working-trees and repositories that
4447
attempt to explain these concepts. (James Westby, John Arbash Meinel,
4448
Aaron Bentley)
4449
4450
* Added ``bzr log --limit`` to report a limited number of revisions.
4451
(Kent Gibson, #3659)
4452
4453
* Revert does not try to preserve file contents that were originally
4454
produced by reverting to a historical revision. (Aaron Bentley)
4455
4456
* ``bzr log --short`` now includes ``[merge]`` for revisions which
4457
have more than one parent. This is a small improvement to help
4458
understanding what changes have occurred
4459
(John Arbash Meinel, #83887)
4460
4461
* TreeTransform avoids many renames when contructing large trees,
4462
improving speed. 3.25x speedups have been observed for construction of
4463
kernel-sized-trees, and checkouts are 1.28x faster. (Aaron Bentley)
4464
4465
* Commit on large trees is now faster. In my environment, a commit of
4466
a small change to the Mozilla tree (55k files) has dropped from
4467
66 seconds to 32 seconds. For a small tree of 600 files, commit of a
4468
small change is 33% faster. (Ian Clatworthy)
4469
4470
* New --create-prefix option to bzr init, like for push. (Daniel Watkins,
4471
#56322)
4472
4473
BUGFIXES:
4474
4475
* ``bzr push`` should only connect to the remote location one time.
4476
We have been connecting 3 times because we forget to pass around
4477
the Transport object. This adds ``BzrDir.clone_on_transport()``, so
4478
that we can pass in the Transport that we already have.
4479
(John Arbash Meinel, #75721)
4480
4481
* ``DirState.set_state_from_inventory()`` needs to properly order
4482
based on split paths, not just string paths.
4483
(John Arbash Meinel, #115947)
4484
4485
* Let TestUIFactoy encode the password prompt with its own stdout.
4486
(Vincent Ladeuil, #110204)
4487
4488
* pycurl should take use the range header that takes the range hint
4489
into account.
4490
(Vincent Ladeuil, #112719)
4491
4492
* WorkingTree4.get_file_sha1 no longer raises an exception when invoked
4493
on a missing file. (Aaron Bentley, #118186)
4494
4495
* WorkingTree.remove works correctly with tree references, and when pwd is
4496
not the tree root. (Aaron Bentley)
4497
4498
* Merge no longer fails when a file is renamed in one tree and deleted
4499
in the other. (Aaron Bentley, #110279)
4500
4501
* ``revision-info`` now accepts dotted revnos, doesn't require a tree,
4502
and defaults to the last revision (Matthew Fuller, #90048)
4503
4504
* Tests no longer fail when BZR_REMOTE_PATH is set in the environment.
4505
(Daniel Watkins, #111958)
4506
4507
* ``bzr branch -r revid:foo`` can be used to branch any revision in
4508
your repository. (Previously Branch6 only supported revisions in your
4509
mainline). (John Arbash Meinel, #115343)

4512
--------------------
4513
4514
BUGFIXES:
4515
4516
* Handle when you have 2 directories with similar names, but one has a
4517
hyphen. (``'abc'`` versus ``'abc-2'``). The WT4._iter_changes
4518
iterator was using direct comparison and ``'abc/a'`` sorts after
4519
``'abc-2'``, but ``('abc', 'a')`` sorts before ``('abc-2',)``.
4520
(John Arbash Meinel, #111227)
4521
4522
* Handle when someone renames a file on disk without telling bzr.
4523
Previously we would report the first file as missing, but not show
4524
the new unknown file. (John Arbash Meinel, #111288)
4525
4526
* Avoid error when running hooks after pulling into or pushing from
4527
a branch bound to a smartserver branch. (Martin Pool, #111968)
4528
4529
IMPROVEMENTS:
4530
4531
* Move developer documentation to doc/developers/. This reduces clutter in
4532
the root of the source tree and allows HACKING to be split into multiple
4533
files. (Robert Collins, Alexander Belchenko)
4534
4535
* Clean up the ``WorkingTree4._iter_changes()`` internal loops as well as
4536
``DirState.update_entry()``. This optimizes the core logic for ``bzr
4537
diff`` and ``bzr status`` significantly improving the speed of
4538
both. (John Arbash Meinel)

4541
-----------------------
4542
4543
BUGFIXES:
4544
4545
* Handle the case when you delete a file, and then rename another file
4546
on top of it. Also handle the case of ``bzr rm --keep foo``. ``bzr
4547
status`` should show the removed file and an unknown file in its
4548
place. (John Arbash Meinel, #109993)
4549
4550
* Bundles properly read and write revision properties that have an
4551
empty value. And when the value is not ASCII.
4552
(John Arbash Meinel, #109613)
4553
4554
* Fix the bzr commit message to be in text mode.
4555
(Alexander Belchenko, #110901)
4556
4557
* Also handle when you rename a file and create a file where it used
4558
to be. (John Arbash Meinel, #110256)
4559
4560
* ``WorkingTree4._iter_changes`` should not descend into unversioned
4561
directories. (John Arbash Meinel, #110399)

4564
-----------------------
4565
4566
NOTES WHEN UPGRADING:
4567
4568
* ``bzr remove`` and ``bzr rm`` will now remove the working file, if
4569
it could be recovered again.
4570
This has been done for consistency with svn and the unix rm command.
4571
The old ``remove`` behaviour has been retained in the new option
4572
``bzr remove --keep``, which will just stop versioning the file,
4573
but not delete it.
4574
``bzr remove --force`` have been added which will always delete the
4575
files.
4576
``bzr remove`` is also more verbose.
4577
(Marius Kruger, #82602)
4578
4579
IMPROVEMENTS:
4580
4581
* Merge directives can now be supplied as input to `merge` and `pull`,
4582
like bundles can. (Aaron Bentley)
4583
4584
* Sending the SIGQUIT signal to bzr, which can be done on Unix by
4585
pressing Control-Backslash, drops bzr into a debugger. Type ``'c'``
4586
to continue. This can be disabled by setting the environment variable
4587
``BZR_SIGQUIT_PDB=0``. (Martin Pool)
4588
4589
* selftest now supports --list-only to list tests instead of running
4590
them. (Ian Clatworthy)
4591
4592
* selftest now supports --exclude PATTERN (or -x PATTERN) to exclude
4593
tests with names that match that regular expression.
4594
(Ian Clatworthy, #102679)
4595
4596
* selftest now supports --randomize SEED to run tests in a random order.
4597
SEED is typically the value 'now' meaning 'use the current time'.
4598
(Ian Clatworthy, #102686)
4599
4600
* New option ``--fixes`` to commit, which stores bug fixing annotations as
4601
revision properties. Built-in support for Launchpad, Debian, Trac and
4602
Bugzilla bug trackers. (Jonathan Lange, James Henstridge, Robert Collins)
4603
4604
* New API, ``bzrlib.bugtracker.tracker_registry``, for adding support for
4605
other bug trackers to ``fixes``. (Jonathan Lange, James Henstridge,
4606
Robert Collins)
4607
4608
* ``selftest`` has new short options ``-f`` and ``-1``. (Martin
4609
Pool)
4610
4611
* ``bzrlib.tsort.MergeSorter`` optimizations. Change the inner loop
4612
into using local variables instead of going through ``self._var``.
4613
Improves the time to ``merge_sort`` a 10k revision graph by
4614
approximately 40% (~700->400ms). (John Arbash Meinel)
4615
4616
* ``make docs`` now creates a man page at ``man1/bzr.1`` fixing bug 107388.

* ``bzr help`` now provides cross references to other help topics using
4620
the _see_also facility on command classes. Likewise the bzr_man
4621
documentation, and the bzr.1 man page also include this information.
4622
(Robert Collins)
4623
4624
* Tags are now included in logs, that use the long log formatter.
4625
(Erik Bågfors, Alexander Belchenko)
4626
4627
* ``bzr help`` provides a clearer message when a help topic cannot be
4628
found. (Robert Collins, #107656)
4629
4630
* ``bzr help`` now accepts optional prefixes for command help. The help
4631
for all commands can now be found at ``bzr help commands/COMMANDNAME``
4632
as well as ``bzr help COMMANDNAME`` (which only works for commands
4633
where the name is not the same as a more general help topic).
4634
(Robert Collins)
4635
4636
* ``bzr help PLUGINNAME`` will now return the module docstring from the
4637
plugin PLUGINNAME. (Robert Collins, #50408)
4638
4639
* New help topic ``urlspec`` which lists the availables transports.
4640
(Goffredo Baroncelli)
4641
4642
* doc/server.txt updated to document the default bzr:// port
4643
and also update the blurb about the hpss' current status.
4644
(Robert Collins, #107125).
4645
4646
* ``bzr serve`` now listens on interface 0.0.0.0 by default, making it
4647
serve out to the local LAN (and anyone in the world that can reach the
4648
machine running ``bzr serve``. (Robert Collins, #98918)
4649
4650
* A new smart server protocol version has been added. It prefixes requests
4651
and responses with an explicit version identifier so that future protocol
4652
revisions can be dealt with gracefully. (Andrew Bennetts, Robert Collins)
4653
4654
* The bzr protocol version 2 indicates success or failure in every response
4655
without depending on particular commands encoding that consistently,
4656
allowing future client refactorings to be much more robust about error
4657
handling. (Robert Collins, Martin Pool, Andrew Bennetts)
4658
4659
* The smart protocol over HTTP client has been changed to always post to the
4660
same ``.bzr/smart`` URL under the original location when it can. This allows
4661
HTTP servers to only have to pass URLs ending in .bzr/smart to the smart
4662
server handler, and not arbitrary ``.bzr/*/smart`` URLs. (Andrew Bennetts)
4663
4664
* digest authentication is now supported for proxies and HTTP by the urllib
4665
based http implementation. Tested against Apache 2.0.55 and Squid
4666
2.6.5. Basic and digest authentication are handled coherently for HTTP
4667
and proxy: if the user is provided in the url (bzr command line for HTTP,
4668
proxy environment variables for proxies), the password is prompted for
4669
(only once). If the password is provided, it is taken into account. Once
4670
the first authentication is successful, all further authentication
4671
roundtrips are avoided by preventively setting the right authentication
4672
header(s).
4673
(Vincent Ladeuil).
4674
4675
INTERNALS:
4676
4677
* bzrlib API compatability with 0.8 has been dropped, cleaning up some
4678
code paths. (Robert Collins)
4679
4680
* Change the format of chroot urls so that they can be safely manipulated
4681
by generic url utilities without causing the resulting urls to have
4682
escaped the chroot. A side effect of this is that creating a chroot
4683
requires an explicit action using a ChrootServer.
4684
(Robert Collins, Andrew Bennetts)
4685
4686
* Deprecate ``Branch.get_root_id()`` because branches don't have root ids,
4687
rather than fixing bug #96847. (Aaron Bentley)
4688
4689
* ``WorkingTree.apply_inventory_delta`` provides a better alternative to
4690
``WorkingTree._write_inventory``. (Aaron Bentley)
4691
4692
* Convenience method ``TestCase.expectFailure`` ensures that known failures
4693
do not silently pass. (Aaron Bentley)
4694
4695
* ``Transport.local_abspath`` now raises ``NotLocalUrl`` rather than
4696
``TransportNotPossible``. (Martin Pool, Ian Clatworthy)
4697
4698
* New SmartServer hooks facility. There are two initial hooks documented
4699
in ``bzrlib.transport.smart.SmartServerHooks``. The two initial hooks allow
4700
plugins to execute code upon server startup and shutdown.
4701
(Robert Collins).
4702
4703
* SmartServer in standalone mode will now close its listening socket
4704
when it stops, rather than waiting for garbage collection. This primarily
4705
fixes test suite hangs when a test tries to connect to a shutdown server.
4706
It may also help improve behaviour when dealing with a server running
4707
on a specific port (rather than dynamically assigned ports).
4708
(Robert Collins)
4709
4710
* Move most SmartServer code into a new package, bzrlib/smart.
4711
bzrlib/transport/remote.py contains just the Transport classes that used
4712
to be in bzrlib/transport/smart.py. (Andrew Bennetts)
4713
4714
* urllib http implementation avoid roundtrips associated with
4715
401 (and 407) errors once the authentication succeeds.
4716
(Vincent Ladeuil).
4717
4718
* urlib http now supports querying the user for a proxy password if
4719
needed. Realm is shown in the prompt for both HTTP and proxy
4720
authentication when the user is required to type a password.
4721
(Vincent Ladeuil).
4722
4723
* Renamed SmartTransport (and subclasses like SmartTCPTransport) to
4724
RemoteTransport (and subclasses to RemoteTCPTransport, etc). This is more
4725
consistent with its new home in ``bzrlib/transport/remote.py``, and because
4726
it's not really a "smart" transport, just one that does file operations
4727
via remote procedure calls. (Andrew Bennetts)
4728
4729
* The ``lock_write`` method of ``LockableFiles``, ``Repository`` and
4730
``Branch`` now accept a ``token`` keyword argument, so that separate
4731
instances of those objects can share a lock if it has the right token.
4732
(Andrew Bennetts, Robert Collins)
4733
4734
* New method ``get_branch_reference`` on ``BzrDir`` allows the detection of
4735
branch references - which the smart server component needs.
4736
4737
* The Repository API ``make_working_trees`` is now permitted to return
4738
False when ``set_make_working_trees`` is not implemented - previously
4739
an unimplemented ``set_make_working_trees`` implied the result True
4740
from ``make_working_trees``. This has been changed to accomodate the
4741
smart server, where it does not make sense (at this point) to ever
4742
make working trees by default. (Robert Collins)
4743
4744
* Command objects can now declare related help topics by having _see_also
4745
set to a list of related topic. (Robert Collins)
4746
4747
* ``bzrlib.help`` now delegates to the Command class for Command specific
4748
help. (Robert Collins)
4749
4750
* New class ``TransportListRegistry``, derived from the Registry class, which
4751
simplifies tracking the available Transports. (Goffredo Baroncelli)
4752
4753
* New function ``Branch.get_revision_id_to_revno_map`` which will
4754
return a dictionary mapping revision ids to dotted revnos. Since
4755
dotted revnos are defined in the context of the branch tip, it makes
4756
sense to generate them from a ``Branch`` object.
4757
(John Arbash Meinel)
4758
4759
* Fix the 'Unprintable error' message display to use the repr of the
4760
exception that prevented printing the error because the str value
4761
for it is often not useful in debugging (e.g. KeyError('foo') has a
4762
str() of 'foo' but a repr of 'KeyError('foo')' which is much more
4763
useful. (Robert Collins)
4764
4765
* ``urlutils.normalize_url`` now unescapes unreserved characters, such as "~".
4766
(Andrew Bennetts)
4767
4768
BUGFIXES:
4769
4770
* Don't fail bundle selftest if email has 'two' embedded.
4771
(Ian Clatworthy, #98510)
4772
4773
* Remove ``--verbose`` from ``bzr bundle``. It didn't work anyway.
4774
(Robert Widhopf-Fenk, #98591)
4775
4776
* Remove ``--basis`` from the checkout/branch commands - it didn't work
4777
properly and is no longer beneficial.
4778
(Robert Collins, #53675, #43486)
4779
4780
* Don't produce encoding error when adding duplicate files.
4781
(Aaron Bentley)
4782
4783
* Fix ``bzr log <file>`` so it only logs the revisions that changed
4784
the file, and does it faster.
4785
(Kent Gibson, John Arbash Meinel, #51980, #69477)
4786
4787
* Fix ``InterDirstateTre._iter_changes`` to handle when we come across
4788
an empty versioned directory, which now has files in it.
4789
(John Arbash Meinel, #104257)
4790
4791
* Teach ``common_ancestor`` to shortcut when the tip of one branch is
4792
inside the ancestry of the other. Saves a lot of graph processing
4793
(with an ancestry of 16k revisions, ``bzr merge ../already-merged``
4794
changes from 2m10s to 13s). (John Arbash Meinel, #103757)
4795
4796
* Fix ``show_diff_trees`` to handle the case when a file is modified,
4797
and the containing directory is renamed. (The file path is different
4798
in this versus base, but it isn't marked as a rename).
4799
(John Arbash Meinel, #103870)
4800
4801
* FTP now works even when the FTP server does not support atomic rename.
4802
(Aaron Bentley, #89436)
4803
4804
* Correct handling in bundles and merge directives of timezones with
4805
that are not an integer number of hours offset from UTC. Always
4806
represent the epoch time in UTC to avoid problems with formatting
4807
earlier times on win32. (Martin Pool, Alexander Belchenko, John
4808
Arbash Meinel)
4809
4810
* Typo in the help for ``register-branch`` fixed. (Robert Collins, #96770)
4811
4812
* "dirstate" and "dirstate-tags" formats now produce branches compatible
4813
with old versions of bzr. (Aaron Bentley, #107168))
4814
4815
* Handle moving a directory when children have been added, removed,
4816
and renamed. (John Arbash Meinel, #105479)
4817
4818
* Don't preventively use basic authentication for proxy before receiving a
4819
407 error. Otherwise people willing to use other authentication schemes
4820
may expose their password in the clear (or nearly). This add one
4821
roundtrip in case basic authentication should be used, but plug the
4822
security hole.
4823
(Vincent Ladeuil)
4824
4825
* Handle http and proxy digest authentication.
4826
(Vincent Ladeuil, #94034).
4827
4828
TESTING:
4829
4830
* Added ``bzrlib.strace.strace`` which will strace a single callable and
4831
return a StraceResult object which contains just the syscalls involved
4832
in running it. (Robert Collins)
4833
4834
* New test method ``reduceLockdirTimeout`` to drop the default (ui-centric)
4835
default time down to one suitable for tests. (Andrew Bennetts)
4836
4837
* Add new ``vfs_transport_factory`` attribute on tests which provides the
4838
common vfs backing for both the readonly and readwrite transports.
4839
This allows the RemoteObject tests to back onto local disk or memory,
4840
and use the existing ``transport_server`` attribute all tests know about
4841
to be the smart server transport. This in turn allows tests to
4842
differentiate between 'transport to access the branch', and
4843
'transport which is a VFS' - which matters in Remote* tests.
4844
(Robert Collins, Andrew Bennetts)
4845
4846
* The ``make_branch_and_tree`` method for tests will now create a
4847
lightweight checkout for the tree if the ``vfs_transport_factory`` is not
4848
a LocalURLServer. (Robert Collins, Andrew Bennetts)
4849
4850
* Branch implementation tests have been audited to ensure that all urls
4851
passed to Branch APIs use proper urls, except when local-disk paths
4852
are intended. This is so that tests correctly access the test transport
4853
which is often not equivalent to local disk in Remote* tests. As part
4854
of this many tests were adjusted to remove dependencies on local disk
4855
access.
4856
(Robert Collins, Andrew Bennetts)
4857
4858
* Mark bzrlib.tests and bzrlib.tests.TestUtil as providing assertFOO helper
4859
functions by adding a ``__unittest`` global attribute. (Robert Collins,
4860
Andrew Bennetts, Martin Pool, Jonathan Lange)
4861
4862
* Refactored proxy and authentication handling to simplify the
4863
implementation of new auth schemes for both http and proxy.

CHANGES:
4882
4883
* A warning is now displayed when opening working trees in older
4884
formats, to encourage people to upgrade to WorkingTreeFormat4.
4885
(Martin Pool)
4886
4887
IMPROVEMENTS:
4888
4889
* HTTP redirections are now taken into account when a branch (or a
4890
bundle) is accessed for the first time. A message is issued at each
4891
redirection to inform the user. In the past, http redirections were
4892
silently followed for each request which significantly degraded the
4893
performances. The http redirections are not followed anymore by
4894
default, instead a RedirectRequested exception is raised. For bzrlib
4895
users needing to follow http redirections anyway,
4896
``bzrlib.transport.do_catching_redirections`` provide an easy transition
4897
path. (vila)
4898
4899
INTERNALS:
4900
4901
* Added ``ReadLock.temporary_write_lock()`` to allow upgrading an OS read
4902
lock to an OS write lock. Linux can do this without unlocking, Win32
4903
needs to unlock in between. (John Arbash Meinel)
4904
4905
* New parameter ``recommend_upgrade`` to ``BzrDir.open_workingtree``
4906
to silence (when false) warnings about opening old formats.
4907
(Martin Pool)
4908
4909
* Fix minor performance regression with bzr-0.15 on pre-dirstate
4910
trees. (We were reading the working inventory too many times).
4911
(John Arbash Meinel)
4912
4913
* Remove ``Branch.get_transaction()`` in favour of a simple cache of
4914
``revision_history``. Branch subclasses should override
4915
``_gen_revision_history`` rather than ``revision_history`` to make use of
4916
this cache, and call ``_clear_revision_history_cache`` and
4917
``_cache_revision_history`` at appropriate times. (Andrew Bennetts)
4918
4919
BUGFIXES:
4920
4921
* Take ``smtp_server`` from user config into account.
4922
(vila, #92195)

4924
* Restore Unicode filename handling for versioned and unversioned files.
4925
(John Arbash Meinel, #92608)
4926
4927
* Don't fail during ``bzr commit`` if a file is marked removed, and
4928
the containing directory is auto-removed. (John Arbash Meinel, #93681)
4929
4930
* ``bzr status FILENAME`` failed on Windows because of an uncommon
4931
errno. (``ERROR_DIRECTORY == 267 != ENOTDIR``).
4932
(Wouter van Heyst, John Arbash Meinel, #90819)
4933
4934
* ``bzr checkout source`` should create a local branch in the same
4935
format as source. (John Arbash Meinel, #93854)
4936
4937
* ``bzr commit`` with a kind change was failing to update the
4938
last-changed-revision for directories. The
4939
InventoryDirectory._unchanged only looked at the ``parent_id`` and name,
4940
ignoring the fact that the kind could have changed, too.
4941
(John Arbash Meinel, #90111)
4942
4943
* ``bzr mv dir/subdir other`` was incorrectly updating files inside
4944
the directory. So that there was a chance it would break commit,
4945
etc. (John Arbash Meinel, #94037)
4946
4947
* Correctly handles mutiple permanent http redirections.

4951
-----------------------
4952
4953
NOTES WHEN UPGRADING:
4954
4955
* Release 0.15rc2 of bzr changes the ``bzr init-repo`` command to
4956
default to ``--trees`` instead of ``--no-trees``.
4957
Existing shared repositories are not affected.
4958
4959
IMPROVEMENTS:
4960
4961
* New ``merge-directive`` command to generate machine- and human-readable
4962
merge requests. (Aaron Bentley)
4963
4964
* New ``submit:`` revision specifier makes it easy to diff against the
4965
common ancestor with the submit location (Aaron Bentley)
4966
4967
* Added support for Putty's SSH implementation. (Dmitry Vasiliev)
4968
4969
* Added ``bzr status --versioned`` to report only versioned files,
4970
not unknowns. (Kent Gibson)
4971
4972
* Merge now autodetects the correct line-ending style for its conflict
4973
markers. (Aaron Bentley)
4974
4975
INTERNALS:
4976
4977
* Refactored SSH vendor registration into SSHVendorManager class.
4978
(Dmitry Vasiliev)
4979
4980
BUGFIXES:
4981
4982
* New ``--numbered-dirs`` option to ``bzr selftest`` to use
4983
numbered dirs for TestCaseInTempDir. This is default behavior
4984
on Windows. Anyone can force named dirs on Windows
4985
with ``--no-numbered-dirs``. (Alexander Belchenko)
4986
4987
* Fix ``RevisionSpec_revid`` to handle the Unicode strings passed in
4988
from the command line. (Marien Zwart, #90501)
4989
4990
* Fix ``TreeTransform._iter_changes`` when both the source and
4991
destination are missing. (Aaron Bentley, #88842)
4992
4993
* Fix commit of merges with symlinks in dirstate trees.
4994
(Marien Zwart)
4995
4996
* Switch the ``bzr init-repo`` default from --no-trees to --trees.

bzr 0.15rc1 2007-03-07
5001
-----------------------
5002
5003
SURPRISES:
5004
5005
* The default disk format has changed. Please run 'bzr upgrade' in your
5006
working trees to upgrade. This new default is compatible for network
5007
operations, but not for local operations. That is, if you have two
5008
versions of bzr installed locally, after upgrading you can only use the
5009
bzr 0.15 version. This new default does not enable tags or nested-trees
5010
as they are incompatible with bzr versions before 0.15 over the network.
5011
5012
* For users of bzrlib: Two major changes have been made to the working tree
5013
api in bzrlib. The first is that many methods and attributes, including
5014
the inventory attribute, are no longer valid for use until one of
5015
``lock_read``/``lock_write``/``lock_tree_write`` has been called,
5016
and become invalid again after unlock is called. This has been done
5017
to improve performance and correctness as part of the dirstate
5018
development.
5019
(Robert Collins, John A Meinel, Martin Pool, and others).
5020
5021
* For users of bzrlib: The attribute 'tree.inventory' should be considered
5022
readonly. Previously it was possible to directly alter this attribute, or
5023
its contents, and have the tree notice this. This has been made
5024
unsupported - it may work in some tree formats, but in the newer dirstate
5025
format such actions will have no effect and will be ignored, or even
5026
cause assertions. All operations possible can still be carried out by a
5027
combination of the tree API, and the bzrlib.transform API. (Robert
5028
Collins, John A Meinel, Martin Pool, and others).
5029
5030
IMPROVEMENTS:
5031
5032
* Support for OS Windows 98. Also .bzr.log on any windows system
5033
saved in My Documents folder. (Alexander Belchenko)
5034
5035
* ``bzr mv`` enhanced to support already moved files.
5036
In the past the mv command would have failed if the source file doesn't
5037
exist. In this situation ``bzr mv`` would now detect that the file has
5038
already moved and update the repository accordingly, if the target file
5039
does exist.
5040
A new option ``--after`` has been added so that if two files already
5041
exist, you could notify Bazaar that you have moved a (versioned) file
5042
and replaced it with another. Thus in this case ``bzr move --after``
5043
will only update the Bazaar identifier.
5044
(Steffen Eichenberg, Marius Kruger)
5045
5046
* ``ls`` now works on treeless branches and remote branches.
5047
(Aaron Bentley)
5048
5049
* ``bzr help global-options`` describes the global options.
5050
(Aaron Bentley)
5051
5052
* ``bzr pull --overwrite`` will now correctly overwrite checkouts.
5053
(Robert Collins)
5054
5055
* Files are now allowed to change kind (e.g. from file to symlink).
5056
Supported by ``commit``, ``revert`` and ``status``
5057
(Aaron Bentley)
5058
5059
* ``inventory`` and ``unknowns`` hidden in favour of ``ls``
5060
(Aaron Bentley)
5061
5062
* ``bzr help checkouts`` descibes what checkouts are and some possible
5063
uses of them. (James Westby, Aaron Bentley)
5064
5065
* A new ``-d`` option to push, pull and merge overrides the default
5066
directory. (Martin Pool)
5067
5068
* Branch format 6: smaller, and potentially faster than format 5. Supports
5069
``append_history_only`` mode, where the log view and revnos do not change,
5070
except by being added to. Stores policy settings in
5071
".bzr/branch/branch.conf".
5072
5073
* ``append_only`` branches: Format 6 branches may be configured so that log
5074
view and revnos are always consistent. Either create the branch using
5075
"bzr init --append-revisions-only" or edit the config file as descriped
5076
in docs/configuration.txt.
5077
5078
* rebind: Format 6 branches retain the last-used bind location, so if you
5079
"bzr unbind", you can "bzr bind" to bind to the previously-selected
5080
bind location.
5081
5082
* Builtin tags support, created and deleted by the ``tag`` command and
5083
stored in the branch. Tags can be accessed with the revisionspec
5084
``-rtag:``, and listed with ``bzr tags``. Tags are not versioned
5085
at present. Tags require a network incompatible upgrade. To perform this
5086
upgrade, run ``bzr upgrade --dirstate-tags`` in your branch and
5087
repositories. (Martin Pool)
5088
5089
* The ``bzr://`` transport now has a well-known port number, 4155,
5090
which it will use by default. (Andrew Bennetts, Martin Pool)
5091
5092
* Bazaar now looks for user-installed plugins before looking for site-wide
5093
plugins. (Jonathan Lange)
5094
5095
* ``bzr resolve`` now detects and marks resolved text conflicts.
5096
(Aaron Bentley)
5097
5098
INTERNALS:
5099
5100
* Internally revision ids and file ids are now passed around as utf-8
5101
bytestrings, rather than treating them as Unicode strings. This has
5102
performance benefits for Knits, since we no longer need to decode the
5103
revision id for each line of content, nor for each entry in the index.
5104
This will also help with the future dirstate format.
5105
(John Arbash Meinel)
5106
5107
* Reserved ids (any revision-id ending in a colon) are rejected by
5108
versionedfiles, repositories, branches, and working trees
5109
(Aaron Bentley)
5110
5111
* Minor performance improvement by not creating a ProgressBar for
5112
every KnitIndex we create. (about 90ms for a bzr.dev tree)
5113
(John Arbash Meinel)
5114
5115
* New easier to use Branch hooks facility. There are five initial hooks,
5116
all documented in bzrlib.branch.BranchHooks.__init__ - ``'set_rh'``,
5117
``'post_push'``, ``'post_pull'``, ``'post_commit'``,
5118
``'post_uncommit'``. These hooks fire after the matching operation
5119
on a branch has taken place, and were originally added for the
5120
branchrss plugin. (Robert Collins)
5121
5122
* New method ``Branch.push()`` which should be used when pushing from a
5123
branch as it makes performance and policy decisions to match the UI
5124
level command ``push``. (Robert Collins).
5125
5126
* Add a new method ``Tree.revision_tree`` which allows access to cached
5127
trees for arbitrary revisions. This allows the in development dirstate
5128
tree format to provide access to the callers to cached copies of
5129
inventory data which are cheaper to access than inventories from the
5130
repository.
5131
(Robert Collins, Martin Pool)
5132
5133
* New ``Branch.last_revision_info`` method, this is being done to allow
5134
optimization of requests for both the number of revisions and the last
5135
revision of a branch with smartservers and potentially future branch
5136
formats. (Wouter van Heyst, Robert Collins)
5137
5138
* Allow ``'import bzrlib.plugins.NAME'`` to work when the plugin NAME has not
5139
yet been loaded by ``load_plugins()``. This allows plugins to depend on each
5140
other for code reuse without requiring users to perform file-renaming
5141
gymnastics. (Robert Collins)
5142
5143
* New Repository method ``'gather_stats'`` for statistic data collection.
5144
This is expected to grow to cover a number of related uses mainly
5145
related to bzr info. (Robert Collins)
5146
5147
* Log formatters are now managed with a registry.
5148
``log.register_formatter`` continues to work, but callers accessing
5149
the FORMATTERS dictionary directly will not.
5150
5151
* Allow a start message to be passed to the ``edit_commit_message``
5152
function. This will be placed in the message offered to the user
5153
for editing above the separator. It allows a template commit message
5154
to be used more easily. (James Westby)
5155
5156
* ``GPGStrategy.sign()`` will now raise ``BzrBadParameterUnicode`` if
5157
you pass a Unicode string rather than an 8-bit string. Callers need
5158
to be updated to encode first. (John Arbash Meinel)
5159
5160
* Branch.push, pull, merge now return Result objects with information
5161
about what happened, rather than a scattering of various methods. These
5162
are also passed to the post hooks. (Martin Pool)
5163
5164
* File formats and architecture is in place for managing a forest of trees
5165
in bzr, and splitting up existing trees into smaller subtrees, and
5166
finally joining trees to make a larger tree. This is the first iteration
5167
of this support, and the user-facing aspects still require substantial
5168
work. If you wish to experiment with it, use ``bzr upgrade
5169
--dirstate-with-subtree`` in your working trees and repositories.
5170
You can use the hidden commands ``split`` and ``join`` and to create
5171
and manipulate nested trees, but please consider using the nested-trees
5172
branch, which contains substantial UI improvements, instead.

5174
(Aaron Bentley, Martin Pool, Robert Collins).
5175
5176
BUGFIXES:
5177
5178
* ``bzr annotate`` now uses dotted revnos from the viewpoint of the
5179
branch, rather than the last changed revision of the file.
5180
(John Arbash Meinel, #82158)
5181
5182
* Lock operations no longer hang if they encounter a permission problem.
5183
(Aaron Bentley)
5184
5185
* ``bzr push`` can resume a push that was canceled before it finished.
5186
Also, it can push even if the target directory exists if you supply
5187
the ``--use-existing-dir`` flag.
5188
(John Arbash Meinel, #30576, #45504)
5189
5190
* Fix http proxy authentication when user and an optional
5191
password appears in the ``*_proxy`` vars. (Vincent Ladeuil,
5192
#83954).
5193
5194
* ``bzr log branch/file`` works for local treeless branches
5195
(Aaron Bentley, #84247)
5196
5197
* Fix problem with UNC paths on Windows 98. (Alexander Belchenko, #84728)
5198
5199
* Searching location of CA bundle for PyCurl in env variable
5200
(``CURL_CA_BUNDLE``), and on win32 along the PATH.
5201
(Alexander Belchenko, #82086)
5202
5203
* ``bzr init`` works with unicode argument LOCATION.
5204
(Alexander Belchenko, #85599)
5205
5206
* Raise ``DependencyNotPresent`` if pycurl do not support https.
5207
(Vincent Ladeuil, #85305)
5208
5209
* Invalid proxy env variables should not cause a traceback.
5210

* Ignore patterns normalised to use '/' path separator.
5213
(Kent Gibson, #86451)

5218
(Johan Dahlberg, #75577)
5219

TESTING:
5221

5229
IMPROVEMENTS:
5230
5231
* ``bzr help global-options`` describes the global options. (Aaron Bentley)
5232
5233
BUG FIXES:
5234
5235
* Skip documentation generation tests if the tools to do so are not
5236
available. Fixes running selftest for installled copies of bzr.
5237
(John Arbash Meinel, #80330)
5238
5239
* Fix the code that discovers whether bzr is being run from it's
5240
working tree to handle the case when it isn't but the directory
5241
it is in is below a repository. (James Westby, #77306)

5244
bzr 0.14rc1 2007-01-16
5245
-----------------------
5246
5247
IMPROVEMENTS:
5248
5249
* New connection: ``bzr+http://`` which supports tunnelling the smart
5250
protocol over an HTTP connection. If writing is enabled on the bzr
5251
server, then you can write over the http connection.
5252
(Andrew Bennetts, John Arbash Meinel)
5253
5254
* Aliases now support quotation marks, so they can contain whitespace
5255
(Marius Kruger)
5256
5257
* PyCurlTransport now use a single curl object. By specifying explicitly
5258
the 'Range' header, we avoid the need to use two different curl objects
5259
(and two connections to the same server). (Vincent Ladeuil)
5260
5261
* ``bzr commit`` does not prompt for a message until it is very likely to
5262
succeed. (Aaron Bentley)
5263
5264
* ``bzr conflicts`` now takes --text to list pathnames of text conflicts
5265
(Aaron Bentley)
5266
5267
* Fix ``iter_lines_added_or_present_in_versions`` to use a set instead
5268
of a list while checking if a revision id was requested. Takes 10s
5269
off of the ``fileids_affected_by_revision_ids`` time, which is 10s
5270
of the ``bzr branch`` time. Also improve ``fileids_...`` time by
5271
filtering lines with a regex rather than multiple ``str.find()``
5272
calls. (saves another 300ms) (John Arbash Meinel)
5273
5274
* Policy can be set for each configuration key. This allows keys to be
5275
inherited properly across configuration entries. For example, this
5276
should enable you to do::
5277
5278
[/home/user/project]
5279
push_location = sftp://host/srv/project/
5280
push_location:policy = appendpath
5281
5282
And then a branch like ``/home/user/project/mybranch`` should get an
5283
automatic push location of ``sftp://host/srv/project/mybranch``.
5284
(James Henstridge)
5285
5286
* Added ``bzr status --short`` to make status report svn style flags
5287
for each file. For example::
5288
5289
$ bzr status --short
5290
A foo
5291
A bar
5292
D baz
5293
? wooley
5294
5295
* 'bzr selftest --clean-output' allows easily clean temporary tests
5296
directories without running tests. (Alexander Belchenko)
5297
5298
* ``bzr help hidden-commands`` lists all hidden commands. (Aaron Bentley)
5299
5300
* ``bzr merge`` now has an option ``--pull`` to fall back to pull if
5301
local is fully merged into remote. (Jan Hudec)
5302
5303
* ``bzr help formats`` describes available directory formats. (Aaron Bentley)
5304
5305
INTERNALS:
5306
5307
* A few tweaks directly to ``fileids_affected_by_revision_ids`` to
5308
help speed up processing, as well allowing to extract unannotated
5309
lines. Between the two ``fileids_affected_by_revision_ids`` is
5310
improved by approx 10%. (John Arbash Meinel)
5311
5312
* Change Revision serialization to only write out millisecond
5313
resolution. Rather than expecting floating point serialization to
5314
preserve more resolution than we need. (Henri Weichers, Martin Pool)
5315
5316
* Test suite ends cleanly on Windows. (Vincent Ladeuil)
5317
5318
* When ``encoding_type`` attribute of class Command is equal to 'exact',
5319
force sys.stdout to be a binary stream on Windows, and therefore
5320
keep exact line-endings (without LF -> CRLF conversion).
5321
(Alexander Belchenko)
5322
5323
* Single-letter short options are no longer globally declared. (Martin
5324
Pool)
5325
5326
* Before using detected user/terminal encoding bzr should check
5327
that Python has corresponding codec. (Alexander Belchenko)
5328
5329
* Formats for end-user selection are provided via a FormatRegistry (Aaron Bentley)
5330
5331
BUG FIXES:
5332
5333
* ``bzr missing --verbose`` was showing adds/removals in the wrong
5334
direction. (John Arbash Meinel)
5335
5336
* ``bzr annotate`` now defaults to showing dotted revnos for merged
5337
revisions. It cuts them off at a depth of 12 characters, but you can
5338
supply ``--long`` to see the full number. You can also use
5339
``--show-ids`` to display the original revision ids, rather than
5340
revision numbers and committer names. (John Arbash Meinel, #75637)
5341
5342
* bzr now supports Win32 UNC path (e.g. ``\HOST\path``.
5343
(Alexander Belchenko, #57869)
5344
5345
* Win32-specific: output of cat, bundle and diff commands don't mangle
5346
line-endings (Alexander Belchenko, #55276)
5347
5348
* Replace broken fnmatch based ignore pattern matching with custom pattern
5349
matcher.
5350
(Kent Gibson, Jan Hudec #57637)
5351
5352
* pycurl and urllib can detect short reads at different places. Update
5353
the test suite to test more cases. Also detect http error code 416
5354
which was raised for that specific bug. Also enhance the urllib
5355
robustness by detecting invalid ranges (and pycurl's one by detecting
5356
short reads during the initial GET). (Vincent Ladeuil, #73948)
5357
5358
* The urllib connection sharing interacts badly with urllib2
5359
proxy setting (the connections didn't go thru the proxy
5360
anymore). Defining a proper ProxyHandler solves the
5361
problem. (Vincent Ladeuil, #74759)
5362
5363
* Use urlutils to generate relative URLs, not osutils
5364
(Aaron Bentley, #76229)
5365
5366
* ``bzr status`` in a readonly directory should work without giving
5367
lots of errors. (John Arbash Meinel, #76299)
5368
5369
* Mention the revisionspec topic for the revision option help.
5370
(Wouter van Heyst, #31663)

IMPROVEMENTS:
5385
5386
* New command ``bzr remove-tree`` allows the removal of the working
5387
tree from a branch.
5388
(Daniel Silverstone)
5389
5390
* urllib uses shared keep-alive connections, so http
5391
operations are substantially faster.
5392
(Vincent Ladeuil, #53654)
5393
5394
* ``bzr export`` allows an optional branch parameter, to export a bzr
5395
tree from some other url. For example:
5396
``bzr export bzr.tar.gz http://bazaar-vcs.org/bzr/bzr.dev``
5397
(Daniel Silverstone)
5398
5399
* Added ``bzr help topics`` to the bzr help system. This gives a
5400
location for general information, outside of a specific command.
5401
This includes updates for ``bzr help revisionspec`` the first topic
5402
included. (Goffredo Baroncelli, John Arbash Meinel, #42714)
5403
5404
* WSGI-compatible HTTP smart server. See ``doc/http_smart_server.txt``.
5405
(Andrew Bennetts)
5406
5407
* Knit files will now cache full texts only when the size of the
5408
deltas is as large as the size of the fulltext. (Or after 200
5409
deltas, whichever comes first). This has the most benefit on large
5410
files with small changes, such as the inventory for a large project.
5411
(eg For a project with 2500 files, and 7500 revisions, it changes
5412
the size of inventory.knit from 11MB to 5.4MB) (John Arbash Meinel)
5413
5414
INTERNALS:
5415
5416
* New -D option given before the command line turns on debugging output
5417
for particular areas. -Derror shows tracebacks on all errors.
5418
(Martin Pool)
5419
5420
* Clean up ``bzr selftest --benchmark bundle`` to correct an import,
5421
and remove benchmarks that take longer than 10min to run.
5422
(John Arbash Meinel)
5423
5424
* Use ``time.time()`` instead of ``time.clock()`` to decide on
5425
progress throttling. Because ``time.clock()`` is actually CPU time,
5426
so over a high-latency connection, too many updates get throttled.
5427
(John Arbash Meinel)
5428
5429
* ``MemoryTransport.list_dir()`` would strip the first character for
5430
files or directories in root directory. (John Arbash Meinel)
5431
5432
* New method ``get_branch_reference`` on 'BzrDir' allows the detection of
5433
branch references - which the smart server component needs.
5434
5435
* New ``ChrootTransportDecorator``, accessible via the ``chroot+`` url
5436
prefix. It disallows any access to locations above a set URL. (Andrew
5437
Bennetts)
5438
5439
BUG FIXES:
5440
5441
* Now ``_KnitIndex`` properly decode revision ids when loading index data.
5442
And optimize the knit index parsing code.
5443
(Dmitry Vasiliev, John Arbash Meinel)
5444
5445
* ``bzrlib/bzrdir.py`` was directly referencing ``bzrlib.workingtree``,
5446
without importing it. This prevented ``bzr upgrade`` from working
5447
unless a plugin already imported ``bzrlib.workingtree``
5448
(John Arbash Meinel, #70716)
5449
5450
* Suppress the traceback on invalid URLs (Vincent Ladeuil, #70803).
5451
5452
* Give nicer error message when an http server returns a 403
5453
error code. (Vincent Ladeuil, #57644).
5454
5455
* When a multi-range http GET request fails, try a single
5456
range one. If it fails too, forget about ranges. Remember that until
5457
the death of the transport and propagates that to the clones.
5458
(Vincent Ladeuil, #62276, #62029).
5459
5460
* Handles user/passwords supplied in url from command
5461
line (for the urllib implementation). Don't request already
5462
known passwords (Vincent Ladeuil, #42383, #44647, #48527)
5463
5464
* ``_KnitIndex.add_versions()`` dictionary compresses revision ids as they
5465
are added. This fixes bug where fetching remote revisions records
5466
them as full references rather than integers.
5467
(John Arbash Meinel, #64789)
5468
5469
* ``bzr ignore`` strips trailing slashes in patterns.
5470
Also ``bzr ignore`` rejects absolute paths. (Kent Gibson, #4559)
5471
5472
* ``bzr ignore`` takes multiple arguments. (Cheuksan Edward Wang, #29488)
5473
5474
* mv correctly handles paths that traverse symlinks.
5475
(Aaron Bentley, #66964)
5476
5477
* Give nicer looking error messages when failing to connect over ssh.
5478
(John Arbash Meinel, #49172)
5479
5480
* Pushing to a remote branch does not currently update the remote working
5481
tree. After a remote push, ``bzr status`` and ``bzr diff`` on the remote
5482
machine now show that the working tree is out of date.
5483
(Cheuksan Edward Wang #48136)
5484
5485
* Use patiencediff instead of difflib for determining deltas to insert
5486
into knits. This avoids the O(N^3) behavior of difflib. Patience
5487
diff should be O(N^2). (Cheuksan Edward Wang, #65714)
5488
5489
* Running ``bzr log`` on nonexistent file gives an error instead of the
5490
entire log history. (Cheuksan Edward Wang #50793)
5491
5492
* ``bzr cat`` can look up contents of removed or renamed files. If the
5493
pathname is ambiguous, i.e. the files in the old and new trees have
5494
different id's, the default is the file in the new tree. The user can
5495
use "--name-from-revision" to select the file in the old tree.
5496
(Cheuksan Edward Wang, #30190)
5497
5498
TESTING:
5499
5500
* TestingHTTPRequestHandler really handles the Range header
5501
(previously it was ignoring it and returning the whole file,).

IMPROVEMENTS:
5516
5517
* ``bzr log`` now shows dotted-decimal revision numbers for all revisions,
5518
rather than just showing a decimal revision number for revisions on the
5519
mainline. These revision numbers are not yet accepted as input into bzr
5520
commands such as log, diff etc. (Robert Collins)
5521
5522
* revisions can now be specified using dotted-decimal revision numbers.
5523
For instance, ``bzr diff -r 1.2.1..1.2.3``. (Robert Collins)
5524
5525
* ``bzr help commands`` output is now shorter (Aaron Bentley)
5526
5527
* ``bzr`` now uses lazy importing to reduce the startup time. This has
5528
a moderate effect on lots of actions, especially ones that have
5529
little to do. For example ``bzr rocks`` time is down to 116ms from
5530
283ms. (John Arbash Meinel)
5531
5532
* New Registry class to provide name-to-object registry-like support,
5533
for example for schemes where plugins can register new classes to
5534
do certain tasks (e.g. log formatters). Also provides lazy registration
5535
to allow modules to be loaded on request.
5536
(John Arbash Meinel, Adeodato Simó)
5537
5538
API INCOMPATABILITY:
5539
5540
* LogFormatter subclasses show now expect the 'revno' parameter to
5541
show() to be a string rather than an int. (Robert Collins)
5542
5543
INTERNALS:
5544
5545
* ``TestCase.run_bzr``, ``run_bzr_captured``, and ``run_bzr_subprocess``
5546
can take a ``working_dir='foo'`` parameter, which will change directory
5547
for the command. (John Arbash Meinel)
5548
5549
* ``bzrlib.lazy_regex.lazy_compile`` can be used to create a proxy
5550
around a regex, which defers compilation until first use.
5551
(John Arbash Meinel)
5552
5553
* ``TestCase.run_bzr_subprocess`` defaults to supplying the
5554
``--no-plugins`` parameter to ensure test reproducability, and avoid
5555
problems with system-wide installed plugins. (John Arbash Meinel)
5556
5557
* Unique tree root ids are now supported. Newly created trees still
5558
use the common root id for compatibility with bzr versions before 0.12.
5559
(Aaron Bentley)
5560
5561
* ``WorkingTree.set_root_id(None)`` is now deprecated. Please
5562
pass in ``inventory.ROOT_ID`` if you want the default root id value.
5563
(Robert Collins, John Arbash Meinel)
5564
5565
* New method ``WorkingTree.flush()`` which will write the current memory
5566
inventory out to disk. At the same time, ``read_working_inventory`` will
5567
no longer trash the current tree inventory if it has been modified within
5568
the current lock, and the tree will now ``flush()`` automatically on
5569
``unlock()``. ``WorkingTree.set_root_id()`` has been updated to take
5570
advantage of this functionality. (Robert Collins, John Arbash Meinel)
5571
5572
* ``bzrlib.tsort.merge_sorted`` now accepts ``generate_revnos``. This
5573
parameter will cause it to add another column to its output, which
5574
contains the dotted-decimal revno for each revision, as a tuple.
5575
(Robert Collins)
5576
5577
* ``LogFormatter.show_merge`` is deprecated in favour of
5578
``LogFormatter.show_merge_revno``. (Robert Collins)
5579
5580
BUG FIXES:
5581
5582
* Avoid circular imports by creating a deprecated function for
5583
``bzrlib.tree.RevisionTree``. Callers should have been using
5584
``bzrlib.revisontree.RevisionTree`` anyway. (John Arbash Meinel,
5585
#63360, #66349)
5586
5587
* Don't use ``socket.MSG_WAITALL`` as it doesn't exist on all
5588
platforms. (Martin Pool, #66356)
5589
5590
* Don't require ``Content-Type`` in range responses. Assume they are a
5591
single range if ``Content-Type`` does not exist.
5592
(John Arbash Meinel, #62473)
5593
5594
* bzr branch/pull no longer complain about progress bar cleanup when
5595
interrupted during fetch. (Aaron Bentley, #54000)
5596
5597
* ``WorkingTree.set_parent_trees()`` uses the trees to directly write
5598
the basis inventory, rather than going through the repository. This
5599
allows us to have 1 inventory read, and 2 inventory writes when
5600
committing a new tree. (John Arbash Meinel)
5601
5602
* When reverting, files that are not locally modified that do not exist
5603
in the target are deleted, not just unversioned (Aaron Bentley)
5604
5605
* When trying to acquire a lock, don't fail immediately. Instead, try
5606
a few times (up to 1 hour) before timing out. Also, report why the
5607
lock is unavailable (John Arbash Meinel, #43521, #49556)
5608
5609
* Leave HttpTransportBase daughter classes decides how they
5610
implement cloning. (Vincent Ladeuil, #61606)
5611
5612
* diff3 does not indicate conflicts on clean merge. (Aaron Bentley)
5613
5614
* If a commit fails, the commit message is stored in a file at the root of
5615
the tree for later commit. (Cheuksan Edward Wang, Stefan Metzmacher,
5616
#32054)
5617
5618
TESTING:
5619
5620
* New test base class TestCaseWithMemoryTransport offers memory-only
5621
testing facilities: its not suitable for tests that need to mutate disk
5622
state, but most tests should not need that and should be converted to
5623
TestCaseWithMemoryTransport. (Robert Collins)
5624
5625
* ``TestCase.make_branch_and_memory_tree`` now takes a format
5626
option to set the BzrDir, Repository and Branch formats of the
5627
created objects. (Robert Collins, John Arbash Meinel)
5628
5629
bzr 0.11 2006-10-02
5630
--------------------
5631
5632
* Smart server transport test failures on windows fixed. (Lukáš Lalinský).
5633
5634
bzr 0.11rc2 2006-09-27
5635
-----------------------
5636
5637
BUG FIXES:
5638
5639
* Test suite hangs on windows fixed. (Andrew Bennets, Alexander Belchenko).
5640
5641
* Commit performance regression fixed. (Aaron Bentley, Robert Collins, John
5642
Arbash Meinel).
5643
5644
bzr 0.11rc1 2006-09-25
5645
-----------------------
5646
5647
IMPROVEMENTS:
5648
5649
* Knit files now wait to create their contents until the first data is
5650
added. The old code used to create an empty .knit and a .kndx with just
5651
the header. However, this caused a lot of extra round trips over sftp.
5652
This can change the time for ``bzr push`` to create a new remote branch
5653
from 160s down to 100s. This also affects ``bzr commit`` performance when
5654
adding new files, ``bzr commit`` on a new kernel-like tree drops from 50s
5655
down to 40s (John Arbash Meinel, #44692)
5656
5657
* When an entire subtree has been deleted, commit will now report that
5658
just the top of the subtree has been deleted, rather than reporting
5659
all the individual items. (Robert Collins)
5660
5661
* Commit performs one less XML parse. (Robert Collins)
5662
5663
* ``bzr checkout`` now operates on readonly branches as well
5664
as readwrite branches. This fixes bug #39542. (Robert Collins)
5665
5666
* ``bzr bind`` no longer synchronises history with the master branch.
5667
Binding should be followed by an update or push to synchronise the
5668
two branches. This is closely related to the fix for bug #39542.
5669
(Robert Collins)
5670
5671
* ``bzrlib.lazy_import.lazy_import`` function to create on-demand
5672
objects. This allows all imports to stay at the global scope, but
5673
modules will not actually be imported if they are not used.
5674
(John Arbash Meinel)
5675
5676
* Support ``bzr://`` and ``bzr+ssh://`` urls to work with the new RPC-based
5677
transport which will be used with the upcoming high-performance smart
5678
server. The new command ``bzr serve`` will invoke bzr in server mode,
5679
which processes these requests. (Andrew Bennetts, Robert Collins, Martin
5680
Pool)
5681
5682
* New command ``bzr version-info`` which can be used to get a summary
5683
of the current state of the tree. This is especially useful as part
5684
of a build commands. See ``doc/version_info.txt`` for more information
5685
(John Arbash Meinel)
5686
5687
BUG FIXES:
5688
5689
* ``'bzr inventory [FILE...]'`` allows restricting the file list to a
5690
specific set of files. (John Arbash Meinel, #3631)
5691
5692
* Don't abort when annotating empty files (John Arbash Meinel, #56814)
5693
5694
* Add ``Stanza.to_unicode()`` which can be passed to another Stanza
5695
when nesting stanzas. Also, add ``read_stanza_unicode`` to handle when
5696
reading a nested Stanza. (John Arbash Meinel)
5697
5698
* Transform._set_mode() needs to stat the right file.
5699
(John Arbash Meinel, #56549)
5700
5701
* Raise WeaveFormatError rather than StopIteration when trying to read
5702
an empty Weave file. (John Arbash Meinel, #46871)
5703
5704
* Don't access e.code for generic URLErrors, only HTTPErrors have .code.
5705
(Vincent Ladeuil, #59835)
5706
5707
* Handle boundary="" lines properly to allow access through a Squid proxy.
5708
(John Arbash Meinel, #57723)
5709
5710
* revert now removes newly-added directories (Aaron Bentley, #54172)
5711
5712
* ``bzr upgrade sftp://`` shouldn't fail to upgrade v6 branches if there
5713
isn't a working tree. (David Allouche, #40679)
5714
5715
* Give nicer error messages when a user supplies an invalid --revision
5716
parameter. (John Arbash Meinel, #55420)
5717
5718
* Handle when LANG is not recognized by python. Emit a warning, but
5719
just revert to using 'ascii'. (John Arbash Meinel, #35392)
5720
5721
* Don't use ``preexec_fn`` on win32, as it is not supported by subprocess.
5722
(John Arbash Meinel)
5723
5724
* Skip specific tests when the dependencies aren't met. This includes
5725
some ``setup.py`` tests when ``python-dev`` is not available, and
5726
some tests that depend on paramiko. (John Arbash Meinel, Mattheiu Moy)
5727
5728
* Fallback to Paramiko properly, if no ``ssh`` executable exists on
5729
the system. (Andrew Bennetts, John Arbash Meinel)
5730
5731
* ``Branch.bind(other_branch)`` no longer takes a write lock on the
5732
other branch, and will not push or pull between the two branches.
5733
API users will need to perform a push or pull or update operation if they
5734
require branch synchronisation to take place. (Robert Collins, #47344)
5735
5736
* When creating a tarball or zipfile export, export unicode names as utf-8
5737
paths. This may not work perfectly on all platforms, but has the best
5738
chance of working in the common case. (John Arbash Meinel, #56816)
5739
5740
* When committing, only files that exist in working tree or basis tree
5741
may be specified (Aaron Bentley, #50793)
5742
5743
PORTABILITY:
5744
5745
* Fixes to run on Python 2.5 (Brian M. Carlson, Martin Pool, Marien Zwart)
5746
5747
INTERNALS:
5748
5749
* TestCaseInTempDir now creates a separate directory for HOME, rather
5750
than having HOME set to the same location as the working directory.
5751
(John Arbash Meinel)
5752
5753
* ``run_bzr_subprocess()`` can take an optional ``env_changes={}`` parameter,
5754
which will update os.environ inside the spawned child. It also can
5755
take a ``universal_newlines=True``, which helps when checking the output
5756
of the command. (John Arbash Meinel)
5757
5758
* Refactor SFTP vendors to allow easier re-use when ssh is used.
5759
(Andrew Bennetts)
5760
5761
* ``Transport.list_dir()`` and ``Transport.iter_files_recursive()`` should always
5762
return urlescaped paths. This is now tested (there were bugs in a few
5763
of the transports) (Andrew Bennetts, David Allouche, John Arbash Meinel)
5764
5765
* New utility function ``symbol_versioning.deprecation_string``. Returns the
5766
formatted string for a callable, deprecation format pair. (Robert Collins)
5767
5768
* New TestCase helper applyDeprecated. This allows you to call a callable
5769
which is deprecated without it spewing to the screen, just by supplying
5770
the deprecation format string issued for it. (Robert Collins)
5771
5772
* Transport.append and Transport.put have been deprecated in favor of
5773
``.append_bytes``, ``.append_file``, ``.put_bytes``, and
5774
``.put_file``. This removes the ambiguity in what type of object the
5775
functions take. ``Transport.non_atomic_put_{bytes,file}`` has also
5776
been added. Which works similarly to ``Transport.append()`` except for
5777
SFTP, it doesn't have a round trip when opening the file. Also, it
5778
provides functionality for creating a parent directory when trying
5779
to create a file, rather than raise NoSuchFile and forcing the
5780
caller to repeat their request.
5781
(John Arbash Meinel)
5782
5783
* WorkingTree has a new api ``unversion`` which allow the unversioning of
5784
entries by their file id. (Robert Collins)
5785
5786
* ``WorkingTree.pending_merges`` is deprecated. Please use the
5787
``get_parent_ids`` (introduced in 0.10) method instead. (Robert Collins)
5788
5789
* WorkingTree has a new ``lock_tree_write`` method which locks the branch for
5790
read rather than write. This is appropriate for actions which only need
5791
the branch data for reference rather than mutation. A new decorator
5792
``needs_tree_write_lock`` is provided in the workingtree module. Like the
5793
``needs_read_lock`` and ``needs_write_lock`` decorators this allows static
5794
declaration of the locking requirements of a function to ensure that
5795
a lock is taken out for casual scripts. (Robert Collins, #54107)
5796
5797
* All WorkingTree methods which write to the tree, but not to the branch
5798
have been converted to use ``needs_tree_write_lock`` rather than
5799
``needs_write_lock``. Also converted is the revert, conflicts and tree
5800
transform modules. This provides a modest performance improvement on
5801
metadir style trees, due to the reduce lock-acquisition, and a more
5802
significant performance improvement on lightweight checkouts from
5803
remote branches, where trivial operations used to pay a significant
5804
penalty. It also provides the basis for allowing readonly checkouts.
5805
(Robert Collins)
5806
5807
* Special case importing the standard library 'copy' module. This shaves
5808
off 40ms of startup time, while retaining compatibility. See:
5809
``bzrlib/inspect_for_copy.py`` for more details. (John Arbash Meinel)
5810
5811
* WorkingTree has a new parent class MutableTree which represents the
5812
specialisations of Tree which are able to be altered. (Robert Collins)
5813
5814
* New methods mkdir and ``put_file_bytes_non_atomic`` on MutableTree that
5815
mutate the tree and its contents. (Robert Collins)
5816
5817
* Transport behaviour at the root of the URL is now defined and tested.
5818
(Andrew Bennetts, Robert Collins)
5819
5820
TESTING:
5821
5822
* New test helper classs MemoryTree. This is typically accessed via
5823
``self.make_branch_and_memory_tree()`` in test cases. (Robert Collins)
5824
5825
* Add ``start_bzr_subprocess`` and ``stop_bzr_subprocess`` to allow test
5826
code to continue running concurrently with a subprocess of bzr.
5827
(Andrew Bennetts, Robert Collins)
5828
5829
* Add a new method ``Transport.get_smart_client()``. This is provided to
5830
allow upgrades to a richer interface than the VFS one provided by
5831
Transport. (Andrew Bennetts, Martin Pool)
5832
5833
bzr 0.10 2006-08-29
5834
--------------------
5835
5836
IMPROVEMENTS:
5837
* 'merge' now takes --uncommitted, to apply uncommitted changes from a
5838
tree. (Aaron Bentley)
5839
5840
* 'bzr add --file-ids-from' can be used to specify another path to use
5841
for creating file ids, rather than generating all new ones. Internally,
5842
the 'action' passed to ``smart_add_tree()`` can return ``file_ids`` that
5843
will be used, rather than having bzrlib generate new ones.
5844
(John Arbash Meinel, #55781)
5845
5846
* ``bzr selftest --benchmark`` now allows a ``--cache-dir`` parameter.
5847
This will cache some of the intermediate trees, and decrease the
5848
setup time for benchmark tests. (John Arbash Meinel)
5849
5850
* Inverse forms are provided for all boolean options. For example,
5851
--strict has --no-strict, --no-recurse has --recurse (Aaron Bentley)
5852
5853
* Serialize out Inventories directly, rather than using ElementTree.
5854
Writing out a kernel sized inventory drops from 2s down to ~350ms.
5855
(Robert Collins, John Arbash Meinel)
5856
5857
BUG FIXES:
5858
5859
* Help diffutils 2.8.4 get along with binary tests (Marien Zwart: #57614)
5860
5861
* Change LockDir so that if the lock directory doesn't exist when
5862
``lock_write()`` is called, an attempt will be made to create it.
5863
(John Arbash Meinel, #56974)
5864
5865
* ``bzr uncommit`` preserves pending merges. (John Arbash Meinel, #57660)
5866
5867
* Active FTP transport now works as intended. (ghozzy, #56472)
5868
5869
* Really fix mutter() so that it won't ever raise a UnicodeError.
5870
It means it is possible for ~/.bzr.log to contain non UTF-8 characters.
5871
But it is a debugging log, not a real user file.
5872
(John Arbash Meinel, #56947, #53880)
5873
5874
* Change Command handle to allow Unicode command and options.
5875
At present we cannot register Unicode command names, so we will get
5876
BzrCommandError('unknown command'), or BzrCommandError('unknown option')
5877
But that is better than a UnicodeError + a traceback.
5878
(John Arbash Meinel, #57123)
5879
5880
* Handle TZ=UTC properly when reading/writing revisions.
5881
(John Arbash Meinel, #55783, #56290)
5882
5883
* Use ``GPG_TTY`` to allow gpg --cl to work with gpg-agent in a pipeline,
5884
(passing text to sign in on stdin). (John Arbash Meinel, #54468)
5885
5886
* External diff does the right thing for binaries even in foreign
5887
languages. (John Arbash Meinel, #56307)
5888
5889
* Testament handles more cases when content is unicode. Specific bug was
5890
in handling of revision properties.
5891
(John Arbash Meinel, Holger Krekel, #54723)
5892
5893
* The bzr selftest was failing on installed versions due to a bug in a new
5894
test helper. (John Arbash Meinel, Robert Collins, #58057)
5895
5896
INTERNALS:
5897
5898
* ``bzrlib.cache_utf8`` contains ``encode()`` and ``decode()`` functions
5899
which can be used to cache the conversion between utf8 and Unicode.
5900
Especially helpful for some of the knit annotation code, which has to
5901
convert revision ids to utf8 to annotate lines in storage.
5902
(John Arbash Meinel)
5903
5904
* ``setup.py`` now searches the filesystem to find all packages which
5905
need to be installed. This should help make the life of packagers
5906
easier. (John Arbash Meinel)
5907
5908
bzr 0.9.0 2006-08-11
5909
---------------------
5910
5911
SURPRISES:
5912
5913
* The hard-coded built-in ignore rules have been removed. There are
5914
now two rulesets which are enforced. A user global one in
5915
``~/.bazaar/ignore`` which will apply to every tree, and the tree
5916
specific one '.bzrignore'.
5917
``~/.bazaar/ignore`` will be created if it does not exist, but with
5918
a more conservative list than the old default.
5919
This fixes bugs with default rules being enforced no matter what.
5920
The old list of ignore rules from bzr is available by
5921
running 'bzr ignore --old-default-rules'.
5922
(Robert Collins, Martin Pool, John Arbash Meinel)
5923
5924
* 'branches.conf' has been changed to 'locations.conf', since it can apply
5925
to more locations than just branch locations.
5926
(Aaron Bentley)
5927
5928
IMPROVEMENTS:
5929
5930
* The revision specifier "revno:" is extended to accept the syntax
5931
revno:N:branch. For example,
5932
revno:42:http://bazaar-vcs.org/bzr/bzr.dev/ means revision 42 in
5933
bzr.dev. (Matthieu Moy)
5934
5935
* Tests updates to ensure proper URL handling, UNICODE support, and
5936
proper printing when the user's terminal encoding cannot display
5937
the path of a file that has been versioned.
5938
``bzr branch`` can take a target URL rather than only a local directory.
5939
``Branch.get_parent()/set_parent()`` now save a relative path if possible,
5940
and normalize the parent based on root, allowing access across
5941
different transports. (John Arbash Meinel, Wouter van Heyst, Martin Pool)
5942
(Malone #48906, #42699, #40675, #5281, #3980, #36363, #43689,
5943
#42517, #42514)
5944
5945
* On Unix, detect terminal width using an ioctl not just $COLUMNS.
5946
Use terminal width for single-line logs from ``bzr log --line`` and
5947
pending-merge display. (Robert Widhopf-Fenk, Gustavo Niemeyer)
5948
(Malone #3507)
5949
5950
* On Windows, detect terminal width using GetConsoleScreenBufferInfo.
5951
(Alexander Belchenko)
5952
5953
* Speedup improvement for 'date:'-revision search. (Guillaume Pinot).
5954
5955
* Show the correct number of revisions pushed when pushing a new branch.
5956
(Robert Collins).
5957
5958
* 'bzr selftest' now shows a progress bar with the number of tests, and
5959
progress made. 'make check' shows tests in -v mode, to be more useful
5960
for the PQM status window. (Robert Collins).
5961
When using a progress bar, failed tests are printed out, rather than
5962
being overwritten by the progress bar until the suite finishes.
5963
(John Arbash Meinel)
5964
5965
* 'bzr selftest --benchmark' will run a new benchmarking selftest.
5966
'bzr selftest --benchmark --lsprof-timed' will use lsprofile to generate
5967
profile data for the individual profiled calls, allowing for fine
5968
grained analysis of performance.
5969
(Robert Collins, Martin Pool).
5970
5971
* 'bzr commit' shows a progress bar. This is useful for commits over sftp
5972
where commit can take an appreciable time. (Robert Collins)
5973
5974
* 'bzr add' is now less verbose in telling you what ignore globs were
5975
matched by files being ignored. Instead it just tells you how many
5976
were ignored (because you might reasonably be expecting none to be
5977
ignored). 'bzr add -v' is unchanged and will report every ignored
5978
file. (Robert Collins).
5979
5980
* ftp now has a test server if medusa is installed. As part of testing,
5981
ftp support has been improved, including support for supplying a
5982
non-standard port. (John Arbash Meinel).
5983
5984
* 'bzr log --line' shows the revision number, and uses only the
5985
first line of the log message (#5162, Alexander Belchenko;
5986
Matthieu Moy)
5987
5988
* 'bzr status' has had the --all option removed. The 'bzr ls' command
5989
should be used to retrieve all versioned files. (Robert Collins)
5990
5991
* 'bzr bundle OTHER/BRANCH' will create a bundle which can be sent
5992
over email, and applied on the other end, while maintaining ancestry.
5993
This bundle can be applied with either 'bzr merge' or 'bzr pull',
5994
the same way you would apply another branch.
5995
(John Arbash Meinel, Aaron Bentley)
5996
5997
* 'bzr whoami' can now be used to set your identity from the command line,
5998
for a branch or globally. (Robey Pointer)
5999
6000
* 'bzr checkout' now aliased to 'bzr co', and 'bzr annotate' to 'bzr ann'.
6001
(Michael Ellerman)
6002
6003
* 'bzr revert DIRECTORY' now reverts the contents of the directory as well.
6004
(Aaron Bentley)
6005
6006
* 'bzr get sftp://foo' gives a better error when paramiko is not present.
6007
Also updates things like 'http+pycurl://' if pycurl is not present.
6008
(John Arbash Meinel) (Malone #47821, #52204)
6009
6010
* New env variable ``BZR_PROGRESS_BAR``, sets the default progress bar type.
6011
Can be set to 'none' or 'dummy' to disable the progress bar, 'dots' or
6012
'tty' to create the respective type. (John Arbash Meinel, #42197, #51107)
6013
6014
* Improve the help text for 'bzr diff' to explain what various options do.
6015
(John Arbash Meinel, #6391)
6016
6017
* 'bzr uncommit -r 10' now uncommits revisions 11.. rather than uncommitting
6018
revision 10. This makes -r10 more in line with what other commands do.
6019
'bzr uncommit' also now saves the pending merges of the revisions that
6020
were removed. So it is safe to uncommit after a merge, fix something,
6021
and commit again. (John Arbash Meinel, #32526, #31426)
6022
6023
* 'bzr init' now also works on remote locations.
6024
(Wouter van Heyst, #48904)
6025
6026
* HTTP support has been updated. When using pycurl we now support
6027
connection keep-alive, which reduces dns requests and round trips.
6028
And for both urllib and pycurl we support multi-range requests,
6029
which decreases the number of round-trips. Performance results for
6030
``bzr branch http://bazaar-vcs.org/bzr/bzr.dev/`` indicate
6031
http branching is now 2-3x faster, and ``bzr pull`` in an existing
6032
branch is as much as 4x faster.
6033
(Michael Ellerman, Johan Rydberg, John Arbash Meinel, #46768)
6034
6035
* Performance improvements for sftp. Branching and pulling are now up to
6036
2x faster. Utilize paramiko.readv() support for async requests if it
6037
is available (paramiko > 1.6) (John Arbash Meinel)
6038
6039
BUG FIXES:
6040
6041
* Fix shadowed definition of TestLocationConfig that caused some
6042
tests not to run.
6043
(Erik Bågfors, Michael Ellerman, Martin Pool, #32587)
6044
6045
* Fix unnecessary requirement of sign-my-commits that it be run from
6046
a working directory. (Martin Pool, Robert Collins)
6047
6048
* 'bzr push location' will only remember the push location if it succeeds
6049
in connecting to the remote location. (John Arbash Meinel, #49742)
6050
6051
* 'bzr revert' no longer toggles the executable bit on win32
6052
(John Arbash Meinel, #45010)
6053
6054
* Handle broken pipe under win32 correctly. (John Arbash Meinel)
6055
6056
* sftp tests now work correctly on win32 if you have a newer paramiko
6057
(John Arbash Meinel)
6058
6059
* Cleanup win32 test suite, and general cleanup of places where
6060
file handles were being held open. (John Arbash Meinel)
6061
6062
* When specifying filenames for 'diff -r x..y', the name of the file in the
6063
working directory can be used, even if its name is different in both x
6064
and y.
6065
6066
* File-ids containing single- or double-quotes are handled correctly by
6067
push. (Aaron Bentley, #52227)
6068
6069
* Normalize unicode filenames to ensure cross-platform consistency.
6070
(John Arbash Meinel, #43689)
6071
6072
* The argument parser can now handle '-' as an argument. Currently
6073
no code interprets it specially (it is mostly handled as a file named
6074
'-'). But plugins, and future operations can use it.
6075
(John Arbash meinel, #50984)
6076
6077
* Bundles can properly read binary files with a plain '\r' in them.
6078
(John Arbash Meinel, #51927)
6079
6080
* Tuning ``iter_entries()`` to be more efficient (John Arbash Meinel, #5444)
6081
6082
* Lots of win32 fixes (the test suite passes again).
6083
(John Arbash Meinel, #50155)
6084
6085
* Handle openbsd returning None for sys.getfilesystemencoding() (#41183)
6086
6087
* Support ftp APPE (append) to allow Knits to be used over ftp (#42592)
6088
6089
* Removals are only committed if they match the filespec (or if there is
6090
no filespec). (#46635, Aaron Bentley)
6091
6092
* smart-add recurses through all supplied directories
6093
(John Arbash Meinel, #52578)
6094
6095
* Make the bundle reader extra lines before and after the bundle text.
6096
This allows you to parse an email with the bundle inline.
6097
(John Arbash Meinel, #49182)
6098
6099
* Change the file id generator to squash a little bit more. Helps when
6100
working with long filenames on windows. (Also helps for unicode filenames
6101
not generating hidden files). (John Arbash Meinel, #43801)
6102
6103
* Restore terminal mode on C-c while reading sftp password. (#48923,
6104
Nicholas Allen, Martin Pool)
6105
6106
* Timestamps are rounded to 1ms, and revision entries can be recreated
6107
exactly. (John Arbash Meinel, Jamie Wilkinson, #40693)
6108
6109
* Branch.base has changed to a URL, but ~/.bazaar/locations.conf should
6110
use local paths, since it is user visible (John Arbash Meinel, #53653)
6111
6112
* ``bzr status foo`` when foo was unversioned used to cause a full delta
6113
to be generated (John Arbash Meinel, #53638)
6114
6115
* When reading revision properties, an empty value should be considered
6116
the empty string, not None (John Arbash Meinel, #47782)
6117
6118
* ``bzr diff --diff-options`` can now handle binary files being changed.
6119
Also, the output is consistent when --diff-options is not supplied.
6120
(John Arbash Meinel, #54651, #52930)
6121
6122
* Use the right suffixes for loading plugins (John Arbash Meinel, #51810)
6123
6124
* Fix ``Branch.get_parent()`` to handle the case when the parent is not
6125
accessible (John Arbash Meinel, #52976)
6126
6127
INTERNALS:
6128
6129
* Combine the ignore rules into a single regex rather than looping over
6130
them to reduce the threshold where N^2 behaviour occurs in operations
6131
like status. (Jan Hudec, Robert Collins).
6132
6133
* Appending to ``bzrlib.DEFAULT_IGNORE`` is now deprecated. Instead, use
6134
one of the add functions in bzrlib.ignores. (John Arbash Meinel)
6135
6136
* 'bzr push' should only push the ancestry of the current revision, not
6137
all of the history in the repository. This is especially important for
6138
shared repositories. (John Arbash Meinel)
6139
6140
* ``bzrlib.delta.compare_trees`` now iterates in alphabetically sorted order,
6141
rather than randomly walking the inventories. (John Arbash Meinel)
6142
6143
* Doctests are now run in temporary directories which are cleaned up when
6144
they finish, rather than using special ScratchDir/ScratchBranch objects.
6145
(Martin Pool)
6146
6147
* Split ``check`` into separate methods on the branch and on the repository,
6148
so that it can be specialized in ways that are useful or efficient for
6149
different formats. (Martin Pool, Robert Collins)
6150
6151
* Deprecate ``Repository.all_revision_ids``; most methods don't really need
6152
the global revision graph but only that part leading up to a particular
6153
revision. (Martin Pool, Robert Collins)
6154
6155
* Add a BzrDirFormat ``control_formats`` list which allows for control formats
6156
that do not use '.bzr' to store their data - i.e. '.svn', '.hg' etc.
6157
(Robert Collins, Jelmer Vernooij).
6158
6159
* ``bzrlib.diff.external_diff`` can be redirected to any file-like object.
6160
Uses subprocess instead of spawnvp.
6161
(James Henstridge, John Arbash Meinel, #4047, #48914)
6162
6163
* New command line option '--profile-imports', which will install a custom
6164
importer to log time to import modules and regex compilation time to
6165
sys.stderr (John Arbash Meinel)
6166
6167
* 'EmptyTree' is now deprecated, please use ``repository.revision_tree(None)``
6168
instead. (Robert Collins)
6169
6170
* "RevisionTree" is now in bzrlib/revisiontree.py. (Robert Collins)

6185
Robert Collins, Erik Bågfors, #43959)
6186
6187
* Nicer messages from 'commit' in the case of renames, and correct
6188
messages when a merge has occured. (Robert Collins, Martin Pool)
6189
6190
* Separate functionality from assert statements as they are skipped in
6191
optimized mode of python. Add the same check to pending merges.

CHANGES:
6204
6205
* Make editor invocation comply with Debian Policy. First check
6206
environment variables VISUAL and EDITOR, then try editor from

6208
list of editors. (Olaf Conradi, #42904)
6209
6210
NEW FEATURES:
6211
6212
* New 'register-branch' command registers a public branch into
6213
Launchpad.net, where it can be associated with bugs, etc.

INTERNALS:
6217
6218
* New public api in InventoryEntry - ``describe_change(old, new)`` which

new. (Robert Collins, Martin Pool)
6221
6222
TESTING:

6227
bzr 0.8 2006-05-08
6228
-------------------
6229
6230
NOTES WHEN UPGRADING:
6231
6232
Release 0.8 of bzr introduces a new format for history storage, called
6233
'knit', as an evolution of to the 'weave' format used in 0.7. Local
6234
and remote operations are faster using knits than weaves. Several
6235
operations including 'init', 'init-repo', and 'upgrade' take a
6236
--format option that controls this. Branching from an existing branch
6237
will keep the same format.
6238
6239
It is possible to merge, pull and push between branches of different
6240
formats but this is slower than moving data between homogenous
6241
branches. It is therefore recommended (but not required) that you
6242
upgrade all branches for a project at the same time. Information on
6243
formats is shown by 'bzr info'.
6244
6245
bzr 0.8 now allows creation of 'repositories', which hold the history
6246
of files and revisions for several branches. Previously bzr kept all
6247
the history for a branch within the .bzr directory at the root of the
6248
branch, and this is still the default. To create a repository, use
6249
the new 'bzr init-repo' command. Branches exist as directories under
6250
the repository and contain just a small amount of information
6251
indicating the current revision of the branch.
6252
6253
bzr 0.8 also supports 'checkouts', which are similar to in cvs and
6254
subversion. Checkouts are associated with a branch (optionally in a
6255
repository), which contains all the historical information. The
6256
result is that a checkout can be deleted without losing any
6257
already-committed revisions. A new 'update' command is also available.
6258
6259
Repositories and checkouts are not supported with the 0.7 storage
6260
format. To use them you must upgrad to either knits, or to the
6261
'metaweave' format, which uses weaves but changes the .bzr directory
6262
arrangement.
6263
6264
6265
IMPROVEMENTS:
6266
6267
* Sftp paths can now be relative, or local, according to the lftp
6268
convention. Paths now take the form::
6269
6270
sftp://user:pass@host:port/~/relative/path
6271
or
6272
sftp://user:pass@host:port/absolute/path
6273
6274
* The FTP transport now tries to reconnect after a temporary
6275
failure. ftp put is made atomic. (Matthieu Moy)
6276
6277
* The FTP transport now maintains a pool of connections, and
6278
reuses them to avoid multiple connections to the same host (like
6279
sftp did). (Daniel Silverstone)
6280
6281
* The ``bzr_man.py`` file has been removed. To create the man page now,
6282
use ``./generate_docs.py man``. The new program can also create other files.
6283
Run ``python generate_docs.py --help`` for usage information.
6284
(Hans Ulrich Niedermann & James Blackwell).
6285
6286
* Man Page now gives full help (James Blackwell).
6287
Help also updated to reflect user config now being stored in .bazaar
6288
(Hans Ulrich Niedermann)
6289
6290
* It's now possible to set aliases in bazaar.conf (Erik Bågfors)
6291
6292
* Pull now accepts a --revision argument (Erik Bågfors)
6293
6294
* ``bzr re-sign`` now allows multiple revisions to be supplied on the command
6295
line. You can now use the following command to sign all of your old
6296
commits::
6297
6298
find .bzr/revision-store// -name my@email-* \
6299
| sed 's/.*\/\/..\///' \
6300
| xargs bzr re-sign
6301
6302
* Upgrade can now upgrade over the network. (Robert Collins)
6303
6304
* Two new commands 'bzr checkout' and 'bzr update' allow for CVS/SVN-alike
6305
behaviour. By default they will cache history in the checkout, but
6306
with --lightweight almost all data is kept in the master branch.
6307
(Robert Collins)
6308
6309
* 'revert' unversions newly-versioned files, instead of deleting them.
6310
6311
* 'merge' is more robust. Conflict messages have changed.
6312
6313
* 'merge' and 'revert' no longer clobber existing files that end in '~' or
6314
'.moved'.
6315
6316
* Default log format can be set in configuration and plugins can register
6317
their own formatters. (Erik Bågfors)
6318
6319
* New 'reconcile' command will check branch consistency and repair indexes
6320
that can become out of sync in pre 0.8 formats. (Robert Collins,
6321
Daniel Silverstone)
6322
6323
* New 'bzr init --format' and 'bzr upgrade --format' option to control
6324
what storage format is created or produced. (Robert Collins,
6325
Martin Pool)
6326
6327
* Add parent location to 'bzr info', if there is one. (Olaf Conradi)
6328
6329
* New developer commands 'weave-list' and 'weave-join'. (Martin Pool)
6330
6331
* New 'init-repository' command, plus support for repositories in 'init'
6332
and 'branch' (Aaron Bentley, Erik Bågfors, Robert Collins)
6333
6334
* Improve output of 'info' command. Show all relevant locations related to
6335
working tree, branch and repository. Use kibibytes for binary quantities.
6336
Fix off-by-one error in missing revisions of working tree. Make 'info'
6337
work on branches, repositories and remote locations. Show locations
6338
relative to the shared repository, if applicable. Show locking status
6339
of locations. (Olaf Conradi)
6340
6341
* Diff and merge now safely handle binary files. (Aaron Bentley)
6342
6343
* 'pull' and 'push' now normalise the revision history, so that any two
6344
branches with the same tip revision will have the same output from 'log'.
6345
(Robert Collins)
6346
6347
* 'merge' accepts --remember option to store parent location, like 'push'
6348
and 'pull'. (Olaf Conradi)
6349
6350
* bzr status and diff when files given as arguments do not exist
6351
in the relevant trees. (Martin Pool, #3619)
6352
6353
* Add '.hg' to the default ignore list. (Martin Pool)
6354
6355
* 'knit' is now the default disk format. This improves disk performance and
6356
utilization, increases incremental pull performance, robustness with SFTP
6357
and allows checkouts over SFTP to perform acceptably.
6358
The initial Knit code was contributed by Johan Rydberg based on a
6359
specification by Martin Pool.
6360
(Robert Collins, Aaron Bentley, Johan Rydberg, Martin Pool).
6361
6362
* New tool to generate all-in-one html version of the manual. (Alexander
6363
Belchenko)
6364
6365
* Hitting CTRL-C while doing an SFTP push will no longer cause stale locks
6366
to be left in the SFTP repository. (Robert Collins, Martin Pool).
6367
6368
* New option 'diff --prefix' to control how files are named in diff
6369
output, with shortcuts '-p0' and '-p1' corresponding to the options for
6370
GNU patch. (Alexander Belchenko, Goffredo Baroncelli, Martin Pool)
6371
6372
* Add --revision option to 'annotate' command. (Olaf Conradi)
6373
6374
* If bzr shows an unexpected revision-history after pulling (perhaps due
6375
to a reweave) it can now be corrected by 'bzr reconcile'.
6376
(Robert Collins)
6377
6378
CHANGES:
6379
6380
* Commit is now verbose by default, and shows changed filenames and the
6381
new revision number. (Robert Collins, Martin Pool)
6382
6383
* Unify 'mv', 'move', 'rename'. (Matthew Fuller, #5379)
6384
6385
* 'bzr -h' shows help. (Martin Pool, Ian Bicking, #35940)
6386
6387
* Make 'pull' and 'push' remember location on failure using --remember.
6388
(Olaf Conradi)
6389
6390
* For compatibility, make old format for using weaves inside metadir
6391
available as 'metaweave' format. Rename format 'metadir' to 'default'.
6392
Clean up help for option --format in commands 'init', 'init-repo' and
6393
'upgrade'. (Olaf Conradi)
6394
6395
INTERNALS:
6396
6397
* The internal storage of history, and logical branch identity have now
6398
been split into Branch, and Repository. The common locking and file
6399
management routines are now in bzrlib.lockablefiles.
6400
(Aaron Bentley, Robert Collins, Martin Pool)
6401
6402
* Transports can now raise DependencyNotPresent if they need a library
6403
which is not installed, and then another implementation will be
6404
tried. (Martin Pool)
6405
6406
* Remove obsolete (and no-op) `decode` parameter to `Transport.get`.
6407
(Martin Pool)
6408
6409
* Using Tree Transform for merge, revert, tree-building
6410
6411
* WorkingTree.create, Branch.create, ``WorkingTree.create_standalone``,
6412
Branch.initialize are now deprecated. Please see ``BzrDir.create_*`` for
6413
replacement API's. (Robert Collins)
6414
6415
* New BzrDir class represents the .bzr control directory and manages
6416
formatting issues. (Robert Collins)
6417
6418
* New repository.InterRepository class encapsulates Repository to
6419
Repository actions and allows for clean selection of optimised code
6420
paths. (Robert Collins)
6421
6422
* ``bzrlib.fetch.fetch`` and ``bzrlib.fetch.greedy_fetch`` are now
6423
deprecated, please use ``branch.fetch`` or ``repository.fetch``
6424
depending on your needs. (Robert Collins)
6425
6426
* deprecated methods now have a ``is_deprecated`` flag on them that can
6427
be checked, if you need to determine whether a given callable is
6428
deprecated at runtime. (Robert Collins)
6429
6430
* Progress bars are now nested - see
6431
``bzrlib.ui.ui_factory.nested_progress_bar``.
6432
(Robert Collins, Robey Pointer)
6433
6434
* New API call ``get_format_description()`` for each type of format.
6435
(Olaf Conradi)
6436
6437
* Changed ``branch.set_parent()`` to accept None to remove parent.
6438
(Olaf Conradi)
6439
6440
* Deprecated BzrError AmbiguousBase. (Olaf Conradi)
6441
6442
* WorkingTree.branch is now a read only property. (Robert Collins)
6443
6444
* bzrlib.ui.text.TextUIFactory now accepts a ``bar_type`` parameter which
6445
can be None or a factory that will create a progress bar. This is
6446
useful for testing or for overriding the bzrlib.progress heuristic.
6447
(Robert Collins)
6448
6449
* New API method ``get_physical_lock_status()`` to query locks present on a
6450
transport. (Olaf Conradi)
6451
6452
* Repository.reconcile now takes a thorough keyword parameter to allow
6453
requesting an indepth reconciliation, rather than just a data-loss
6454
check. (Robert Collins)
6455
6456
* ``bzrlib.ui.ui_factory protocol`` now supports ``get_boolean`` to prompt
6457
the user for yes/no style input. (Robert Collins)
6458
6459
TESTING:
6460
6461
* SFTP tests now shortcut the SSH negotiation, reducing test overhead
6462
for testing SFTP protocol support. (Robey Pointer)
6463
6464
* Branch formats are now tested once per implementation (see ``bzrlib.
6465
tests.branch_implementations``. This is analagous to the transport
6466
interface tests, and has been followed up with working tree,
6467
repository and BzrDir tests. (Robert Collins)
6468
6469
* New test base class TestCaseWithTransport provides a transport aware
6470
test environment, useful for testing any transport-interface using
6471
code. The test suite option --transport controls the transport used
6472
by this class (when its not being used as part of implementation
6473
contract testing). (Robert Collins)
6474
6475
* Close logging handler on disabling the test log. This will remove the
6476
handler from the internal list inside python's logging module,
6477
preventing shutdown from closing it twice. (Olaf Conradi)
6478
6479
* Move test case for uncommit to blackbox tests. (Olaf Conradi)
6480
6481
* ``run_bzr`` and ``run_bzr_captured`` now accept a 'stdin="foo"'
6482
parameter which will provide String("foo") to the command as its stdin.
6483

bzr 0.7 2006-01-09
6485
------------------
6486
6487
CHANGES:
6488
6489
* .bzrignore is excluded from exports, on the grounds that it's a bzr
6490
internal-use file and may not be wanted. (Jamie Wilkinson)
6491
6492
* The "bzr directories" command were removed in favor of the new
6493
--kind option to the "bzr inventory" command. To list all
6494
versioned directories, now use "bzr inventory --kind directory".
6495
(Johan Rydberg)
6496
6497
* Under Windows configuration directory is now ``%APPDATA%\bazaar\2.0``
6498
by default. (John Arbash Meinel)
6499
6500
* The parent of Bzr configuration directory can be set by ``BZR_HOME``
6501
environment variable. Now the path for it is searched in ``BZR_HOME``,
6502
then in HOME. Under Windows the order is: ``BZR_HOME``, ``APPDATA``
6503
(usually points to ``C:\Documents and Settings\User Name\Application Data``),
6504
``HOME``. (John Arbash Meinel)
6505
6506
* Plugins with the same name in different directories in the bzr plugin
6507
path are no longer loaded: only the first successfully loaded one is
6508
used. (Robert Collins)
6509
6510
* Use systems' external ssh command to open connections if possible.
6511
This gives better integration with user settings such as ProxyCommand.
6512
(James Henstridge)
6513
6514
* Permissions on files underneath .bzr/ are inherited from the .bzr
6515
directory. So for a shared repository, simply doing 'chmod -R g+w .bzr/'
6516
will mean that future file will be created with group write permissions.
6517
6518
* configure.in and config.guess are no longer in the builtin default
6519
ignore list.
6520
6521
* '.sw[nop]' pattern ignored, to ignore vim swap files for nameless
6522
files. (John Arbash Meinel, Martin Pool)
6523
6524
IMPROVEMENTS:
6525
6526
* "bzr INIT dir" now initializes the specified directory, and creates
6527
it if it does not exist. (John Arbash Meinel)
6528
6529
* New remerge command (Aaron Bentley)
6530
6531
* Better zsh completion script. (Steve Borho)
6532
6533
* 'bzr diff' now returns 1 when there are changes in the working
6534
tree. (Robert Collins)
6535
6536
* 'bzr push' now exists and can push changes to a remote location.
6537
This uses the transport infrastructure, and can store the remote
6538
location in the ~/.bazaar/branches.conf configuration file.
6539
(Robert Collins)
6540
6541
* Test directories are only kept if the test fails and the user requests
6542
that they be kept.
6543
6544
* Tweaks to short log printing
6545
6546
* Added branch nicks, new nick command, printing them in log output.
6547
(Aaron Bentley)
6548
6549
* If ``$BZR_PDB`` is set, pop into the debugger when an uncaught exception
6550
occurs. (Martin Pool)
6551
6552
* Accept 'bzr resolved' (an alias for 'bzr resolve'), as this is
6553
the same as Subversion. (Martin Pool)
6554
6555
* New ftp transport support (on ftplib), for ftp:// and aftp://
6556
URLs. (Daniel Silverstone)
6557
6558
* Commit editor temporary files now start with ``bzr_log.``, to allow
6559
text editors to match the file name and set up appropriate modes or
6560
settings. (Magnus Therning)
6561
6562
* Improved performance when integrating changes from a remote weave.
6563
(Goffredo Baroncelli)
6564
6565
* Sftp will attempt to cache the connection, so it is more likely that
6566
a connection will be reused, rather than requiring multiple password
6567
requests.
6568
6569
* bzr revno now takes an optional argument indicating the branch whose
6570
revno should be printed. (Michael Ellerman)
6571
6572
* bzr cat defaults to printing the last version of the file.
6573
(Matthieu Moy, #3632)
6574
6575
* New global option 'bzr --lsprof COMMAND' runs bzr under the lsprof
6576
profiler. (Denys Duchier)
6577
6578
* Faster commits by reading only the headers of affected weave files.
6579
(Denys Duchier)
6580
6581
* 'bzr add' now takes a --dry-run parameter which shows you what would be
6582
added, but doesn't actually add anything. (Michael Ellerman)
6583
6584
* 'bzr add' now lists how many files were ignored per glob. add --verbose
6585
lists the specific files. (Aaron Bentley)
6586
6587
* 'bzr missing' now supports displaying changes in diverged trees and can
6588
be limited to show what either end of the comparison is missing.
6589
(Aaron Bently, with a little prompting from Daniel Silverstone)
6590
6591
BUG FIXES:
6592
6593
* SFTP can walk up to the root path without index errors. (Robert Collins)
6594
6595
* Fix bugs in running bzr with 'python -O'. (Martin Pool)
6596
6597
* Error when run with -OO
6598
6599
* Fix bug in reporting http errors that don't have an http error code.
6600
(Martin Pool)
6601
6602
* Handle more cases of pipe errors in display commands
6603
6604
* Change status to 3 for all errors
6605
6606
* Files that are added and unlinked before committing are completely
6607
ignored by diff and status
6608
6609
* Stores with some compressed texts and some uncompressed texts are now
6610
able to be used. (John A Meinel)
6611
6612
* Fix for bzr pull failing sometimes under windows
6613
6614
* Fix for sftp transport under windows when using interactive auth
6615
6616
* Show files which are both renamed and modified as such in 'bzr
6617
status' output. (Daniel Silverstone, #4503)
6618
6619
* Make annotate cope better with revisions committed without a valid
6620
email address. (Marien Zwart)
6621
6622
* Fix representation of tab characters in commit messages.
6623
(Harald Meland)
6624
6625
* List of plugin directories in ``BZR_PLUGIN_PATH`` environment variable is
6626
now parsed properly under Windows. (Alexander Belchenko)
6627
6628
* Show number of revisions pushed/pulled/merged. (Robey Pointer)
6629
6630
* Keep a cached copy of the basis inventory to speed up operations
6631
that need to refer to it. (Johan Rydberg, Martin Pool)
6632
6633
* Fix bugs in bzr status display of non-ascii characters.
6634
(Martin Pool)
6635
6636
* Remove Makefile.in from default ignore list.
6637
(Tollef Fog Heen, Martin Pool, #6413)
6638
6639
* Fix failure in 'bzr added'. (Nathan McCallum, Martin Pool)
6640
6641
TESTING:
6642
6643
* Fix selftest asking for passwords when there are no SFTP keys.
6644
(Robey Pointer, Jelmer Vernooij)
6645
6646
* Fix selftest run with 'python -O'. (Martin Pool)
6647
6648
* Fix HTTP tests under Windows. (John Arbash Meinel)
6649
6650
* Make tests work even if HOME is not set (Aaron Bentley)
6651
6652
* Updated ``build_tree`` to use fixed line-endings for tests which read
6653
the file cotents and compare. Make some tests use this to pass under
6654
Windows. (John Arbash Meinel)
6655
6656
* Skip stat and symlink tests under Windows. (Alexander Belchenko)
6657
6658
* Delay in selftest/testhashcash is now issued under win32 and Cygwin.
6659
(John Arbash Meinel)
6660
6661
* Use terminal width to align verbose test output. (Martin Pool)
6662
6663
* Blackbox tests are maintained within the bzrlib.tests.blackbox directory.
6664
If adding a new test script please add that to
6665
``bzrlib.tests.blackbox.__init__``. (Robert Collins)
6666
6667
* Much better error message if one of the test suites can't be
6668
imported. (Martin Pool)
6669
6670
* Make check now runs the test suite twice - once with the default locale,
6671
and once with all locales forced to C, to expose bugs. This is not
6672
trivially done within python, so for now its only triggered by running
6673
Make check. Integrators and packagers who wish to check for full
6674
platform support should run 'make check' to test the source.
6675
(Robert Collins)
6676
6677
* Tests can now run TestSkipped if they can't execute for any reason.
6678
(Martin Pool) (NB: TestSkipped should only be raised for correctable
6679
reasons - see the wiki spec ImprovingBzrTestSuite).
6680
6681
* Test sftp with relative, absolute-in-homedir and absolute-not-in-homedir
6682
paths for the transport tests. Introduce blackbox remote sftp tests that
6683
test the same permutations. (Robert Collins, Robey Pointer)
6684
6685
* Transport implementation tests are now independent of the local file
6686
system, which allows tests for esoteric transports, and for features
6687
not available in the local file system. They also repeat for variations
6688
on the URL scheme that can introduce issues in the transport code,
6689
see bzrlib.transport.TransportTestProviderAdapter() for this.
6690
(Robert Collins).
6691
6692
* ``TestCase.build_tree`` uses the transport interface to build trees,
6693
pass in a transport parameter to give it an existing connection.
6694
(Robert Collins).
6695
6696
INTERNALS:
6697
6698
* WorkingTree.pull has been split across Branch and WorkingTree,
6699
to allow Branch only pulls. (Robert Collins)
6700
6701
* ``commands.display_command`` now returns the result of the decorated
6702
function. (Robert Collins)
6703
6704
* LocationConfig now has a ``set_user_option(key, value)`` call to save
6705
a setting in its matching location section (a new one is created
6706
if needed). (Robert Collins)
6707
6708
* Branch has two new methods, ``get_push_location`` and
6709
``set_push_location`` to respectively, get and set the push location.
6710
(Robert Collins)
6711
6712
* ``commands.register_command`` now takes an optional flag to signal that
6713
the registrant is planning to decorate an existing command. When
6714
given multiple plugins registering a command is not an error, and
6715
the original command class (whether built in or a plugin based one) is
6716
returned to the caller. There is a new error 'MustUseDecorated' for
6717
signalling when a wrapping command should switch to the original
6718
version. (Robert Collins)
6719
6720
* Some option parsing errors will raise 'BzrOptionError', allowing
6721
granular detection for decorating commands. (Robert Collins).
6722
6723
* ``Branch.read_working_inventory`` has moved to
6724
``WorkingTree.read_working_inventory``. This necessitated changes to
6725
``Branch.get_root_id``, and a move of ``Branch.set_inventory`` to
6726
WorkingTree as well. To make it clear that a WorkingTree cannot always
6727
be obtained ``Branch.working_tree()`` will raise
6728
``errors.NoWorkingTree`` if one cannot be obtained. (Robert Collins)
6729
6730
* All pending merges operations from Branch are now on WorkingTree.
6731
(Robert Collins)
6732
6733
* The follow operations from Branch have moved to WorkingTree::
6734
6735
add()
6736
commit()
6737
move()
6738
rename_one()
6739
unknowns()
6740
6741
(Robert Collins)
6742
6743
* ``bzrlib.add.smart_add_branch`` is now ``smart_add_tree``. (Robert Collins)
6744
6745
* New "rio" serialization format, similar to rfc-822. (Martin Pool)
6746
6747
* Rename selftests to ``bzrlib.tests.test_foo``. (John A Meinel, Martin
6748
Pool)
6749
6750
* ``bzrlib.plugin.all_plugins`` has been changed from an attribute to a
6751
query method. (Robert Collins)
6752
6753
* New options to read only the table-of-contents of a weave.
6754
(Denys Duchier)
6755
6756
* Raise NoSuchFile when someone tries to add a non-existant file.
6757
(Michael Ellerman)
6758
6759
* Simplify handling of DivergedBranches in ``cmd_pull()``.
6760
(Michael Ellerman)
6761
6762
* Branch.controlfile* logic has moved to lockablefiles.LockableFiles, which
6763
is exposed as ``Branch().control_files``. Also this has been altered with the
6764
controlfile pre/suffix replaced by simple method names like 'get' and
6765
'put'. (Aaron Bentley, Robert Collins).
6766
6767
* Deprecated functions and methods can now be marked as such using the
6768
``bzrlib.symbol_versioning`` module. Marked method have their docstring
6769
updated and will issue a DeprecationWarning using the warnings module
6770
when they are used. (Robert Collins)
6771
6772
* ``bzrlib.osutils.safe_unicode`` now exists to provide parameter coercion
6773
for functions that need unicode strings. (Robert Collins)
6774
6775
bzr 0.6 2005-10-28
6776
------------------
6777
6778
IMPROVEMENTS:
6779
6780
* pull now takes --verbose to show you what revisions are added or removed
6781
(John A Meinel)
6782
6783
* merge now takes a --show-base option to include the base text in
6784
conflicts.
6785
(Aaron Bentley)
6786
6787
* The config files are now read using ConfigObj, so '=' should be used as
6788
a separator, not ':'.
6789
(Aaron Bentley)
6790
6791
* New 'bzr commit --strict' option refuses to commit if there are
6792
any unknown files in the tree. To commit, make sure all files are
6793
either ignored, added, or deleted. (Michael Ellerman)
6794
6795
* The config directory is now ~/.bazaar, and there is a single file
6796
~/.bazaar/bazaar.conf storing email, editor and other preferences.
6797
(Robert Collins)
6798
6799
* 'bzr add' no longer takes a --verbose option, and a --quiet option
6800
has been added that suppresses all output.
6801
6802
* Improved zsh completion support in contrib/zsh, from Clint
6803
Adams.
6804
6805
* Builtin 'bzr annotate' command, by Martin Pool with improvements from
6806
Goffredo Baroncelli.
6807
6808
* 'bzr check' now accepts -v for verbose reporting, and checks for
6809
ghosts in the branch. (Robert Collins)
6810
6811
* New command 're-sign' which will regenerate the gpg signature for
6812
a revision. (Robert Collins)
6813
6814
* If you set ``check_signatures=require`` for a path in
6815
``~/.bazaar/branches.conf`` then bzr will invoke your
6816
``gpg_signing_command`` (defaults to gpg) and record a digital signature
6817
of your commit. (Robert Collins)
6818
6819
* New sftp transport, based on Paramiko. (Robey Pointer)
6820
6821
* 'bzr pull' now accepts '--clobber' which will discard local changes
6822
and make this branch identical to the source branch. (Robert Collins)
6823
6824
* Just give a quieter warning if a plugin can't be loaded, and
6825
put the details in .bzr.log. (Martin Pool)
6826
6827
* 'bzr branch' will now set the branch-name to the last component of the
6828
output directory, if one was supplied.
6829
6830
* If the option ``post_commit`` is set to one (or more) python function
6831
names (must be in the bzrlib namespace), then they will be invoked
6832
after the commit has completed, with the branch and ``revision_id`` as
6833
parameters. (Robert Collins)
6834
6835
* Merge now has a retcode of 1 when conflicts occur. (Robert Collins)
6836
6837
* --merge-type weave is now supported for file contents. Tree-shape
6838
changes are still three-way based. (Martin Pool, Aaron Bentley)
6839
6840
* 'bzr check' allows the first revision on revision-history to have
6841
parents - something that is expected for cheap checkouts, and occurs
6842
when conversions from baz do not have all history. (Robert Collins).
6843
6844
* 'bzr merge' can now graft unrelated trees together, if your specify
6845
0 as a base. (Aaron Bentley)
6846
6847
* 'bzr commit branch' and 'bzr commit branch/file1 branch/file2' now work
6848
(Aaron Bentley)
6849
6850
* Add '.sconsign*' to default ignore list. (Alexander Belchenko)
6851
6852
* 'bzr merge --reprocess' minimizes conflicts
6853
6854
TESTING:
6855
6856
* The 'bzr selftest --pattern' option for has been removed, now
6857
test specifiers on the command line can be simple strings, or
6858
regexps, or both. (Robert Collins)
6859
6860
* Passing -v to selftest will now show the time each test took to
6861
complete, which will aid in analysing performance regressions and
6862
related questions. (Robert Collins)
6863
6864
* 'bzr selftest' runs all tests, even if one fails, unless '--one'
6865
is given. (Martin Pool)
6866
6867
* There is a new method for TestCaseInTempDir, assertFileEqual, which
6868
will check that a given content is equal to the content of the named
6869
file. (Robert Collins)
6870
6871
* Fix test suite's habit of leaving many temporary log files in $TMPDIR.
6872
(Martin Pool)
6873
6874
INTERNALS:
6875
6876
* New 'testament' command and concept for making gpg-signatures
6877
of revisions that are not tied to a particular internal
6878
representation. (Martin Pool).
6879
6880
* Per-revision properties ('revprops') as key-value associated
6881
strings on each revision created when the revision is committed.
6882
Intended mainly for the use of external tools. (Martin Pool).
6883
6884
* Config options have moved from bzrlib.osutils to bzrlib.config.
6885
(Robert Collins)
6886
6887
* Improved command line option definitions allowing explanations
6888
for individual options, among other things. Contributed by
6889
Magnus Therning.
6890
6891
* Config options have moved from bzrlib.osutils to bzrlib.config.
6892
Configuration is now done via the config.Config interface:
6893
Depending on whether you have a Branch, a Location or no information
6894
available, construct a ``*Config``, and use its ``signature_checking``,
6895
``username`` and ``user_email`` methods. (Robert Collins)
6896
6897
* Plugins are now loaded under bzrlib.plugins, not bzrlib.plugin, and
6898
they are made available for other plugins to use. You should not
6899
import other plugins during the ``__init__`` of your plugin though, as
6900
no ordering is guaranteed, and the plugins directory is not on the
6901
python path. (Robert Collins)
6902
6903
* Branch.relpath has been moved to WorkingTree.relpath. WorkingTree no
6904
no longer takes an inventory, rather it takes an option branch
6905
parameter, and if None is given will open the branch at basedir
6906
implicitly. (Robert Collins)
6907
6908
* Cleaner exception structure and error reporting. Suggested by
6909
Scott James Remnant. (Martin Pool)
6910
6911
* Branch.remove has been moved to WorkingTree, which has also gained
6912
``lock_read``, ``lock_write`` and ``unlock`` methods for convenience.
6913
(Robert Collins)
6914
6915
* Two decorators, ``needs_read_lock`` and ``needs_write_lock`` have been
6916
added to the branch module. Use these to cause a function to run in a
6917
read or write lock respectively. (Robert Collins)
6918
6919
* ``Branch.open_containing`` now returns a tuple (Branch, relative-path),
6920
which allows direct access to the common case of 'get me this file
6921
from its branch'. (Robert Collins)
6922
6923
* Transports can register using ``register_lazy_transport``, and they
6924
will be loaded when first used. (Martin Pool)
6925
6926
* 'pull' has been factored out of the command as ``WorkingTree.pull()``.
6927
A new option to WorkingTree.pull has been added, clobber, which will
6928
ignore diverged history and pull anyway.
6929
(Robert Collins)
6930
6931
* config.Config has a ``get_user_option`` call that accepts an option name.
6932
This will be looked up in branches.conf and bazaar.conf as normal.
6933
It is intended that this be used by plugins to support options -
6934
options of built in programs should have specific methods on the config.
6935
(Robert Collins)
6936
6937
* ``merge.merge_inner`` now has tempdir as an optional parameter.
6938
(Robert Collins)
6939
6940
* Tree.kind is not recorded at the top level of the hierarchy, as it was
6941
missing on EmptyTree, leading to a bug with merge on EmptyTrees.
6942
(Robert Collins)
6943
6944
* ``WorkingTree.__del__`` has been removed, it was non deterministic and not
6945
doing what it was intended to. See ``WorkingTree.__init__`` for a comment
6946
about future directions. (Robert Collins/Martin Pool)
6947
6948
* bzrlib.transport.http has been modified so that only 404 urllib errors
6949
are returned as NoSuchFile. Other exceptions will propogate as normal.
6950
This allows debuging of actual errors. (Robert Collins)
6951
6952
* bzrlib.transport.Transport now accepts *ONLY* url escaped relative paths
6953
to apis like 'put', 'get' and 'has'. This is to provide consistent
6954
behaviour - it operates on url's only. (Robert Collins)
6955
6956
* Transports can register using ``register_lazy_transport``, and they
6957
will be loaded when first used. (Martin Pool)
6958
6959
* ``merge_flex`` no longer calls ``conflict_handler.finalize()``, instead that
6960
is called by ``merge_inner``. This is so that the conflict count can be
6961
retrieved (and potentially manipulated) before returning to the caller
6962
of ``merge_inner``. Likewise 'merge' now returns the conflict count to the
6963
caller. (Robert Collins)
6964
6965
* ``revision.revision_graph`` can handle having only partial history for
6966
a revision - that is no revisions in the graph with no parents.
6967
(Robert Collins).
6968
6969
* New ``builtins.branch_files`` uses the standard ``file_list`` rules to
6970
produce a branch and a list of paths, relative to that branch
6971
(Aaron Bentley)
6972
6973
* New TestCase.addCleanup facility.
6974
6975
* New ``bzrlib.version_info`` tuple (similar to ``sys.version_info``),
6976
which can be used by programs importing bzrlib.
6977
6978
BUG FIXES:
6979
6980
* Better handling of branches in directories with non-ascii names.
6981
(Joel Rosdahl, Panagiotis Papadakos)
6982
6983
* Upgrades of trees with no commits will not fail due to accessing
6984
[-1] in the revision-history. (Andres Salomon)

6987
bzr 0.1.1 2005-10-12
6988
--------------------
6989
6990
BUG FIXES:
6991
6992
* Fix problem in pulling over http from machines that do not
6993
allow directories to be listed.
6994
6995
* Avoid harmless warning about invalid hash cache after
6996
upgrading branch format.
6997
6998
PERFORMANCE:
6999
7000
* Avoid some unnecessary http operations in branch and pull.

7002
7003
bzr 0.1 2005-10-11
7004
------------------
7005
7006
NOTES:
7007
7008
* 'bzr branch' over http initially gives a very high estimate
7009
of completion time but it should fall as the first few
7010
revisions are pulled in. branch is still slow on
7011
high-latency connections.
7012
7013
BUG FIXES:
7014
7015
* bzr-man.py has been updated to work again. Contributed by
7016
Rob Weir.
7017
7018
* Locking is now done with fcntl.lockf which works with NFS
7019
file systems. Contributed by Harald Meland.
7020
7021
* When a merge encounters a file that has been deleted on
7022
one side and modified on the other, the old contents are
7023
written out to foo.BASE and foo.SIDE, where SIDE is this
7024
or OTHER. Contributed by Aaron Bentley.
7025
7026
* Export was choosing incorrect file paths for the content of
7027
the tarball, this has been fixed by Aaron Bentley.
7028
7029
* Commit will no longer commit without a log message, an
7030
error is returned instead. Contributed by Jelmer Vernooij.
7031
7032
* If you commit a specific file in a sub directory, any of its
7033
parent directories that are added but not listed will be
7034
automatically included. Suggested by Michael Ellerman.
7035
7036
* bzr commit and upgrade did not correctly record new revisions
7037
for files with only a change to their executable status.
7038
bzr will correct this when it encounters it. Fixed by
7039
Robert Collins
7040
7041
* HTTP tests now force off the use of ``http_proxy`` for the duration.
7042
Contributed by Gustavo Niemeyer.
7043
7044
* Fix problems in merging weave-based branches that have
7045
different partial views of history.
7046
7047
* Symlink support: working with symlinks when not in the root of a
7048
bzr tree was broken, patch from Scott James Remnant.
7049
7050
IMPROVEMENTS:
7051
7052
* 'branch' now accepts a --basis parameter which will take advantage
7053
of local history when making a new branch. This allows faster
7054
branching of remote branches. Contributed by Aaron Bentley.
7055
7056
* New tree format based on weave files, called version 5.
7057
Existing branches can be upgraded to this format using
7058
'bzr upgrade'.
7059
7060
* Symlinks are now versionable. Initial patch by
7061
Erik Toubro Nielsen, updated to head by Robert Collins.
7062
7063
* Executable bits are tracked on files. Patch from Gustavo
7064
Niemeyer.
7065
7066
* 'bzr status' now shows unknown files inside a selected directory.
7067
Patch from Heikki Paajanen.
7068
7069
* Merge conflicts are recorded in .bzr. Two new commands 'conflicts'
7070
and 'resolve' have needed added, which list and remove those
7071
merge conflicts respectively. A conflicted tree cannot be committed
7072
in. Contributed by Aaron Bentley.
7073
7074
* 'rm' is now an alias for 'remove'.
7075
7076
* Stores now split out their content in a single byte prefixed hash,
7077
dropping the density of files per directory by 256. Contributed by
7078
Gustavo Niemeyer.
7079
7080
* 'bzr diff -r branch:URL' will now perform a diff between two branches.
7081
Contributed by Robert Collins.
7082
7083
* 'bzr log' with the default formatter will show merged revisions,
7084
indented to the right. Initial implementation contributed by Gustavo
7085
Niemeyer, made incremental by Robert Collins.
7086
7087
7088
INTERNALS:
7089
7090
* Test case failures have the exception printed after the log
7091
for your viewing pleasure.
7092
7093
* InventoryEntry is now an abstract base class, use one of the
7094
concrete InventoryDirectory etc classes instead.
7095
7096
* Branch raises an UnsupportedFormatError when it detects a
7097
bzr branch it cannot understand. This allows for precise
7098
handling of such circumstances.
7099
7100
* Remove RevisionReference class; ``Revision.parent_ids`` is now simply a
7101
list of their ids and ``parent_sha1s`` is a list of their corresponding
7102
sha1s (for old branches only at the moment.)
7103
7104
* New method-object style interface for Commit() and Fetch().
7105
7106
* Renamed ``Branch.last_patch()`` to ``Branch.last_revision()``, since
7107
we call them revisions not patches.
7108
7109
* Move ``copy_branch`` to ``bzrlib.clone.copy_branch``. The destination
7110
directory is created if it doesn't exist.
7111
7112
* Inventories now identify the files which were present by
7113
giving the revision *of that file*.
7114
7115
* Inventory and Revision XML contains a version identifier.
7116
This must be consistent with the overall branch version
7117
but allows for more flexibility in future upgrades.
7118
7119
TESTING:
7120
7121
* Removed testsweet module so that tests can be run after
7122
bzr installed by 'bzr selftest'.
7123
7124
* 'bzr selftest' command-line arguments can now be partial ids
7125
of tests to run, e.g. ``bzr selftest test_weave``
7126
7127
7128
bzr 0.0.9 2005-09-23
7129
--------------------
7130
7131
BUG FIXES:
7132
7133
* Fixed "branch -r" option.
7134
7135
* Fix remote access to branches containing non-compressed history.
7136
(Robert Collins).
7137
7138
* Better reliability of http server tests. (John Arbash-Meinel)
7139
7140
* Merge graph maximum distance calculation fix. (Aaron Bentley)
7141
7142
* Various minor bug in windows support have been fixed, largely in the
7143
test suite. Contributed by Alexander Belchenko.
7144
7145
IMPROVEMENTS:
7146
7147
* Status now accepts a -r argument to give status between chosen
7148
revisions. Contributed by Heikki Paajanen.
7149
7150
* Revision arguments no longer use +/-/= to control ranges, instead
7151
there is a 'before' namespace, which limits the successive namespace.
7152
For example '$ bzr log -r date:yesterday..before:date:today' will
7153
select everything from yesterday and before today. Contributed by
7154
Robey Pointer
7155
7156
* There is now a bzr.bat file created by distutils when building on
7157
Windows. Contributed by Alexander Belchenko.
7158
7159
INTERNALS:
7160
7161
* Removed uuid() as it was unused.
7162
7163
* Improved 'fetch' code for pulling revisions from one branch into
7164
another (used by pull, merged, etc.)
7165
7166
7167
bzr 0.0.8 2005-09-20
7168
--------------------
7169
7170
IMPROVEMENTS:
7171
7172
* Adding a file whose parent directory is not versioned will
7173
implicitly add the parent, and so on up to the root. This means
7174
you should never need to explictly add a directory, they'll just
7175
get added when you add a file in the directory. Contributed by
7176
Michael Ellerman.
7177
7178
* Ignore ``.DS_Store`` (contains Mac metadata) by default.
7179
(Nir Soffer)
7180
7181
* If you set ``BZR_EDITOR`` in the environment, it is checked in
7182
preference to EDITOR and the config file for the interactive commit
7183
editing program. Related to this is a bugfix where a missing program
7184
set in EDITOR would cause editing to fail, now the fallback program
7185
for the operating system is still tried.
7186
7187
* Files that are not directories/symlinks/regular files will no longer
7188
cause bzr to fail, it will just ignore them by default. You cannot add
7189
them to the tree though - they are not versionable.
7190
7191
7192
INTERNALS:
7193
7194
* Refactor xml packing/unpacking.
7195
7196
BUG FIXES:
7197
7198
* Fixed 'bzr mv' by Ollie Rutherfurd.
7199
7200
* Fixed strange error when trying to access a nonexistent http
7201
branch.
7202
7203
* Make sure that the hashcache gets written out if it can't be
7204
read.
7205
7206
7207
PORTABILITY:
7208
7209
* Various Windows fixes from Ollie Rutherfurd.
7210
7211
* Quieten warnings about locking; patch from Matt Lavin.
7212
7213
7214
bzr-0.0.7 2005-09-02
7215
--------------------
7216
7217
NEW FEATURES:
7218
7219
* ``bzr shell-complete`` command contributed by Clint Adams to
7220
help with intelligent shell completion.
7221
7222
* New expert command ``bzr find-merge-base`` for debugging merges.
7223
7224
7225
ENHANCEMENTS:
7226
7227
* Much better merge support.
7228
7229
* merge3 conflicts are now reported with markers like '<<<<<<<'
7230
(seven characters) which is the same as CVS and pleases things
7231
like emacs smerge.
7232
7233
7234
BUG FIXES:
7235
7236
* ``bzr upgrade`` no longer fails when trying to fix trees that
7237
mention revisions that are not present.
7238
7239
* Fixed bugs in listing plugins from ``bzr plugins``.
7240
7241
* Fix case of $EDITOR containing options for the editor.
7242
7243
* Fix log -r refusing to show the last revision.
7244
(Patch from Goffredo Baroncelli.)
7245
7246
7247
CHANGES:
7248
7249
* ``bzr log --show-ids`` shows the revision ids of all parents.
7250
7251
* Externally provided commands on your $BZRPATH no longer need
7252
to recognize --bzr-usage to work properly, and can just handle
7253
--help themselves.
7254
7255
7256
LIBRARY:
7257
7258
* Changed trace messages to go through the standard logging
7259
framework, so that they can more easily be redirected by
7260
libraries.
7261
7262
7263
7264
bzr-0.0.6 2005-08-18
7265
--------------------
7266
7267
NEW FEATURES:
7268
7269
* Python plugins, automatically loaded from the directories on
7270
``BZR_PLUGIN_PATH`` or ``~/.bzr.conf/plugins`` by default.
7271
7272
* New 'bzr mkdir' command.
7273
7274
* Commit mesage is fetched from an editor if not given on the
7275
command line; patch from Torsten Marek.
7276
7277
* ``bzr log -m FOO`` displays commits whose message matches regexp
7278
FOO.
7279
7280
* ``bzr add`` with no arguments adds everything under the current directory.
7281
7282
* ``bzr mv`` does move or rename depending on its arguments, like
7283
the Unix command.
7284
7285
* ``bzr missing`` command shows a summary of the differences
7286
between two trees. (Merged from John Arbash-Meinel.)
7287
7288
* An email address for commits to a particular tree can be
7289
specified by putting it into .bzr/email within a branch. (Based
7290
on a patch from Heikki Paajanen.)
7291
7292
7293
ENHANCEMENTS:
7294
7295
* Faster working tree operations.
7296
7297
7298
CHANGES:
7299
7300
* 3rd-party modules shipped with bzr are copied within the bzrlib
7301
python package, so that they can be installed by the setup
7302
script without clashing with anything already existing on the
7303
system. (Contributed by Gustavo Niemeyer.)
7304
7305
* Moved plugins directory to bzrlib/, so that there's a standard
7306
plugin directory which is not only installed with bzr itself but
7307
is also available when using bzr from the development tree.
7308
``BZR_PLUGIN_PATH`` and ``DEFAULT_PLUGIN_PATH`` are then added to the
7309
standard plugins directory.
7310
7311
* When exporting to a tarball with ``bzr export --format tgz``, put
7312
everything under a top directory rather than dumping it into the
7313
current directory. This can be overridden with the ``--root``
7314
option. Patch from William Dodé and John Meinel.
7315
7316
* New ``bzr upgrade`` command to upgrade the format of a branch,
7317
replacing ``bzr check --update``.
7318
7319
* Files within store directories are no longer marked readonly on
7320
disk.
7321
7322
* Changed ``bzr log`` output to a more compact form suggested by
7323
John A Meinel. Old format is available with the ``--long`` or
7324
``-l`` option, patched by William Dodé.
7325
7326
* By default the commit command refuses to record a revision with
7327
no changes unless the ``--unchanged`` option is given.
7328
7329
* The ``--no-plugins``, ``--profile`` and ``--builtin`` command
7330
line options must come before the command name because they
7331
affect what commands are available; all other options must come
7332
after the command name because their interpretation depends on
7333
it.
7334
7335
* ``branch`` and ``clone`` added as aliases for ``branch``.
7336
7337
* Default log format is back to the long format; the compact one
7338
is available with ``--short``.
7339
7340
7341
BUG FIXES:
7342
7343
* Fix bugs in committing only selected files or within a subdirectory.
7344
7345
7346
bzr-0.0.5 2005-06-15
7347
---------------------
7348
7349
CHANGES:
7350
7351
* ``bzr`` with no command now shows help rather than giving an
7352
error. Suggested by Michael Ellerman.
7353
7354
* ``bzr status`` output format changed, because svn-style output
7355
doesn't really match the model of bzr. Now files are grouped by
7356
status and can be shown with their IDs. ``bzr status --all``
7357
shows all versioned files and unknown files but not ignored files.
7358
7359
* ``bzr log`` runs from most-recent to least-recent, the reverse
7360
of the previous order. The previous behaviour can be obtained
7361
with the ``--forward`` option.
7362
7363
* ``bzr inventory`` by default shows only filenames, and also ids
7364
if ``--show-ids`` is given, in which case the id is the second
7365
field.
7366
7367
7368
ENHANCEMENTS:
7369
7370
* New 'bzr whoami --email' option shows only the email component
7371
of the user identification, from Jo Vermeulen.
7372
7373
* New ``bzr ignore PATTERN`` command.
7374
7375
* Nicer error message for broken pipe, interrupt and similar
7376
conditions that don't indicate an internal error.
7377
7378
* Add ``.*.sw[nop] .git .*.tmp *,v`` to default ignore patterns.
7379
7380
* Per-branch locks keyed on ``.bzr/branch-lock``, available in
7381
either read or write mode.
7382
7383
* New option ``bzr log --show-ids`` shows revision and file ids.
7384
7385
* New usage ``bzr log FILENAME`` shows only revisions that
7386
affected that file.
7387
7388
* Changed format for describing changes in ``bzr log -v``.
7389
7390
* New option ``bzr commit --file`` to take a message from a file,
7391
suggested by LarstiQ.
7392
7393
* New syntax ``bzr status [FILE...]`` contributed by Bartosz
7394
Oler. File may be in a branch other than the working directory.
7395
7396
* ``bzr log`` and ``bzr root`` can be given an http URL instead of
7397
a filename.
7398
7399
* Commands can now be defined by external programs or scripts
7400
in a directory on $BZRPATH.
7401
7402
* New "stat cache" avoids reading the contents of files if they
7403
haven't changed since the previous time.
7404
7405
* If the Python interpreter is too old, try to find a better one
7406
or give an error. Based on a patch from Fredrik Lundh.
7407
7408
* New optional parameter ``bzr info [BRANCH]``.
7409
7410
* New form ``bzr commit SELECTED`` to commit only selected files.
7411
7412
* New form ``bzr log -r FROM:TO`` shows changes in selected
7413
range; contributed by John A Meinel.
7414
7415
* New option ``bzr diff --diff-options 'OPTS'`` allows passing
7416
options through to an external GNU diff.
7417
7418
* New option ``bzr add --no-recurse`` to add a directory but not
7419
their contents.
7420
7421
* ``bzr --version`` now shows more information if bzr is being run
7422
from a branch.
7423
7424
7425
BUG FIXES:
7426
7427
* Fixed diff format so that added and removed files will be
7428
handled properly by patch. Fix from Lalo Martins.
7429
7430
* Various fixes for files whose names contain spaces or other
7431
metacharacters.
7432
7433
7434
TESTING:
7435
7436
* Converted black-box test suites from Bourne shell into Python;
7437
now run using ``./testbzr``. Various structural improvements to
7438
the tests.
7439
7440
* testbzr by default runs the version of bzr found in the same
7441
directory as the tests, or the one given as the first parameter.
7442
7443
* testbzr also runs the internal tests, so the only command
7444
required to check is just ``./testbzr``.
7445
7446
* testbzr requires python2.4, but can be used to test bzr running
7447
under a different version.
7448
7449
* Tests added for many other changes in this release.
7450
7451
7452

7455
7456
* Refactor command functions into Command objects based on HCT by
7457
Scott James Remnant.
7458
7459
* Better help messages for many commands.
7460
7461
* Expose ``bzrlib.open_tracefile()`` to start the tracefile; until
7462
this is called trace messages are just discarded.
7463
7464
* New internal function ``find_touching_revisions()`` and hidden
7465
command touching-revisions trace the changes to a given file.
7466
7467
* Simpler and faster ``compare_inventories()`` function.
7468
7469
* ``bzrlib.open_tracefile()`` takes a tracefilename parameter.
7470
7471
* New AtomicFile class.
7472
7473
* New developer commands ``added``, ``modified``.
7474
7475
7476
PORTABILITY:
7477
7478

7479
2.4 is now only recommended.

7483
---------------------
7484
7485
ENHANCEMENTS:
7486
7487
* 'bzr diff' optionally takes a list of files to diff. Still a bit
7488
basic. Patch from QuantumG.
7489
7490
* More default ignore patterns.
7491
7492
* New 'bzr log --verbose' shows a list of files changed in the
7493
changeset. Patch from Sebastian Cote.
7494
7495
* Roll over ~/.bzr.log if it gets too large.
7496
7497
* Command abbreviations 'ci', 'st', 'stat', '?' based on a patch
7498
by Jason Diamon.
7499
7500
* New 'bzr help commands' based on a patch from Denys Duchier.
7501
7502
7503
CHANGES:
7504
7505
* User email is determined by looking at $BZREMAIL or ~/.bzr.email
7506
or $EMAIL. All are decoded by the locale preferred encoding.
7507
If none of these are present user@hostname is used. The host's
7508
fully-qualified name is not used because that tends to fail when
7509
there are DNS problems.
7510
7511
* New 'bzr whoami' command instead of username user-email.
7512
7513
7514
BUG FIXES:
7515
7516
* Make commit safe for hardlinked bzr trees.
7517
7518
* Some Unicode/locale fixes.
7519
7520
* Partial workaround for ``difflib.unified_diff`` not handling
7521
trailing newlines properly.
7522
7523
7524
INTERNAL:
7525
7526
* Allow docstrings for help to be in PEP0257 format. Patch from
7527
Matt Brubeck.
7528
7529
* More tests in test.sh.
7530
7531
* Write profile data to a temporary file not into working
7532
directory and delete it when done.
7533
7534
* Smaller .bzr.log with process ids.
7535
7536
7537
PORTABILITY:
7538
7539
* Fix opening of ~/.bzr.log on Windows. Patch from Andrew
7540
Bennetts.
7541
7542
* Some improvements in handling paths on Windows, based on a patch
7543
from QuantumG.

7566
CHANGES:
7567
7568
* .bzr.log is placed in $HOME (not pwd) and is always written in
7569
UTF-8. (Probably not a completely good long-term solution, but
7570
will do for now.)
7571
7572
PORTABILITY:
7573
7574
* Workaround for difflib bug in Python 2.3 that causes an
7575
exception when comparing empty files. Reported by Erik Toubro
7576
Nielsen.

7606
7607
* More help topics.
7608
7609
* Reinstate the 'bzr check' command to check invariants of the
7610
branch.
7611
7612
* New 'ignored' command lists which files are ignored and why;
7613
'deleted' lists files deleted in the current working tree.
7614
7615
* Performance improvements.
7616
7617
* New global --profile option.
7618
7619
* Ignore patterns like './config.h' now correctly match files in

7644
installation easier.
7645
7646

7647
supported).
