IN DEVELOPMENT
9
--------------
10
11
CHANGES:
12
13
* Knit format repositories are deprecated and bzr will now emit
14
warnings whenever it encounters one. Use ``bzr upgrade`` to upgrade
15
knit repositories to pack format. (Andrew Bennetts)
16
17
18
FEATURES:
19
20
21
IMPROVEMENTS:
22
23
* ``bzr check`` can now be told which elements at a location it should
24
check. (Daniel Watkins)
25
26
* Implemented a custom ``walkdirs_utf8`` implementation for win32.
27
This uses a pyrex extension to get direct access to the
28
``FindFirstFileW`` style apis, rather than using ``listdir`` +
29
``lstat``. Shows a very strong improvement in commands like
30
``status`` and ``diff`` which have to iterate the working tree.
31
Anywhere from 2x-6x faster depending on the size of the tree (bigger
32
trees, bigger benefit.) (John Arbash Meinel)
33
34
* Fetching data between repositories that have the same model but no
35
optimised fetcher will not reserialise all the revisions, increasing
36
performance. (Robert Collins, John Arbash Meinel)
37
38
BUG FIXES:
39
40
* ``bzr branch --stacked`` ensures the destination branch format can
41
support stacking, even if the origin does not.
42
(Martin Pool)
43
44
* Fix a test case that was failing if encoding wasn't UTF-8.
45
(John Arbash Meinel, #247585)
46
47
* Fix "no buffer space available" error when branching with the new
48
smart server protocol to or from Windows.
49
(Andrew Bennetts, #246180)
50
51
52
DOCUMENTATION:
53
54
55
TESTING:
56
57
58
API CHANGES:
59
60
* The generic fetch code now uses three attributes on Repository objects
61
to control fetch. The streams requested are controlled via :
62
``_fetch_order`` and ``_fetch_uses_deltas``. Setting these
63
appropriately allows different repository implementations to recieve
64
data in their optimial form. If the ``_fetch_reconcile`` is set then
65
a reconcile operation is triggered at the end of the fetch.
66
(Robert Collins)
67
68
* The ``put_on_disk`` and ``get_tar_item`` methods in
69
``InventoryEntry`` were deprecated. (Ian Clatworthy)
70
71
72
INTERNALS:
73
74
* The code for exporting trees was refactored not to use the
75
deprecated ``InventoryEntry`` methods. (Ian Clatworthy)
76
77
* RuleSearchers return () instead of [] now when there are no matches.
78
(Ian Clatworthy)
79
80
81
bzr 1.6beta3 2008-07-17
82
-----------------------
83
84
FEATURES:
85
86
* New ``pre_change_branch_tip`` hook that is called before the
87
branch tip is moved, while the branch is write-locked. See the User
88
Reference for signature details. (Andrew Bennetts)
89
90
* Rule-based preferences can now be defined for selected files in
91
selected branches, allowing commands and plugins to provide
92
custom behaviour for files matching defined patterns.
93
See ``Rule-based preferences`` (part of ``Configuring Bazaar``)
94
in the User Guide and ``bzr help rules`` for more information.
95
(Ian Clatworthy)
96
97
* Sites may suggest a branch to stack new branches on. (Aaron Bentley)
98
99
* Stacked branches are now supported. See ``bzr help branch`` and
100
``bzr help push``. (Robert Collins)
101
102
IMPROVEMENTS:
103
104
* ``bzr export --format=tgz --root=NAME -`` to export a gzipped tarball
105
to stdout; also ``tar`` and ``tbz2``.
106
(Martin Pool)
107
108
* ``bzr (re)merge --weave`` will now use a standard Weave algorithm,
109
rather than the annotation-based merge it was using. It does so by
110
building up a Weave of the important texts, without needing to build
111
the full ancestry. (John Arbash Meinel, #238895)
112
113
* ``bzr send`` documents and better supports ``emacsclient`` (proper
114
escaping of mail headers and handling of the MUA Mew).
115
(Christophe Troestler)
116
117
* Remembered locations can be specified by aliases, e.g. :parent, :public,
118
:submit. (Aaron Bentley)
119
120
* The smart protocol now has improved support for setting branches'
121
revision info directly. This makes operations like push
122
faster. The new request method name is
123
``Branch.set_last_revision_ex``. (Andrew Bennetts)
124
125
* New registry for log properties handles and the method in
126
LongLogFormatter to display the custom properties returned by the
127
registered handlers. (Guillermo Gonzalez, #162469)
128
129
BUG FIXES:
130
131
* Bazaar is now able to be a client to the web server of IIS 6 and 7.
132
The broken implementations of RFC822 in Python and RFC2046 in IIS
133
combined with boundary-line checking in Bazaar previously made this
134
impossible. (NB, IIS 5 does not suffer from this problem).
135
(Adrian Wilkins, #247585)
136
137
* ``bzr log --long`` with a ghost in your mainline now handles that
138
ghost properly. (John Arbash Meinel, #243536)
139
140
* ``check`` handles the split-up .bzr layout correctly, so no longer
141
requires a branch to be present.
142
(Daniel Watkins, #64783)
143
144
* ``bzr serve --directory=/`` now correctly allows the whole
145
filesystem to be accessed on Windows, not just the root of the drive
146
that Python is running from.
147
(Adrian Wilkins, #240910)
148
149
* Clearer message about how to set the PYTHONPATH if bzrlib can't be
150
loaded.
151
(Martin Pool, #205230)
152
153
* Errors about missing libraries are now shown without a traceback,
154
and with a suggestion to install the library. The full traceback is
155
still in ``.bzr.log`` and can be shown with ``-Derror``.
156
(Martin Pool, #240161)
157
158
* Fixed problem in branching from smart server.
159
(#249256, Michael Hudson, Martin Pool)
160
161
* Fetch from a stacked branch copies all required data.
162
(Aaron Bentley, #248506)
163
164
* Handle urls such as ftp://user@host.com@www.host.com where the user
165
name contains an @.
166
(Neil Martinsen-Burrell, #228058)
167
168
* ``needs_read_lock`` and ``needs_write_lock`` now suppress an error during
169
``unlock`` if there was an error in the original function. This helps
170
most when there is a failure with a smart server action, since often the
171
connection closes and we cannot unlock.
172
(Andrew Bennetts, John Arbash Meinel, #125784)
173
174
* Obsolete hidden command ``bzr fetch`` removed.
175
(Martin Pool, #172870)
176
177
* Raise the correct exception when doing ``-rbefore:0`` or ``-c0``.
178
(John Arbash Meinel, #239933)
179
180
* You can now compare file revisions in Windows diff programs from
181
Cygwin Bazaar.
182
(Matt McClure, #209281)
183
184
* revision_history now tolerates mainline ghosts for Branch format 6.
185
(Aaron Bentley, #235055)
186
187
* Set locale from environment for third party libs.
188
(Martin von Gagern, #128496)
189
190
* Handle a file turning in to a directory in TreeTransform.
191
(James Westby, #248448)
192
193
DOCUMENTATION:
194
195
* Added *Using stacked branches* to the User Guide.
196
(Ian Clatworthy)
197
198
* Updated developer documentation.
199
(Martin Pool)
200
201
TESTING:
202
203
* ``-Dmemory`` will cause /proc/PID/status to be catted before bzr
204
exits, allowing low-key analysis of peak memory use. (Robert Collins)
205
206
* ``TestCaseWithTransport.make_branch_and_tree`` tries harder to return
207
a tree with a ``branch`` attribute of the right format. This was
208
preventing some ``RemoteBranch`` tests from actually running with
209
``RemoteBranch`` instances. (Andrew Bennetts)
210
211
API CHANGES:
212
213
* Removed ``Repository.text_store``, ``control_store``, etc. Instead,
214
there are new attributes ``texts, inventories, revisions,
215
signatures``, each of which is a ``VersionedFiles``. See the
216
Repository docstring for more details.
217
(Robert Collins)
218
219
* ``Branch.pull`` now accepts an ``_override_hook_target`` optional
220
parameter. If you have a subclass of ``Branch`` that overrides
221
``pull`` then you should add this parameter. (Andrew Bennetts)
222
223
* ``bzrlib.check.check()`` has been deprecated in favour of the more
224
aptly-named ``bzrlib.check.check_branch()``.
225
(Daniel Watkins)
226
227
* ``Tree.print_file`` and ``Repository.print_file`` are deprecated.
228
These methods are bad APIs because they write directly to sys.stdout.
229
bzrlib does not use them internally, and there are no direct tests
230
for them. (Alexander Belchenko)
231
232
INTERNALS:
233
234
* ``cat`` command no longer uses ``Tree.print_file()`` internally.
235
(Alexander Belchenko)
236
237
* New class method ``BzrDir.open_containing_tree_branch_or_repository``
238
which eases the discovery of the tree, the branch and the repository
239
containing a given location.
240
(Daniel Watkins)
241
242
* New ``versionedfile.KeyMapper`` interface to abstract out the access to
243
underlying .knit/.kndx etc files in repositories with partitioned
244
storage. (Robert Collins)
245
246
* Obsolete developer-use command ``weave-join`` has been removed.
247
(Robert Collins)
248
249
* ``RemoteToOtherFetcher`` and ``get_data_stream_for_search`` removed,
250
to support new ``VersionedFiles`` layering.
251
(Robert Collins)
252
253
254
bzr 1.6beta2 2008-06-10
255
-----------------------
256
257
This release contains further progress towards our 1.6 goals of shallow
258
repositories, and contains a fix for some user-affecting bugs in the
259
repository layer. Building working trees during checkout and branch is
260
now faster.
261
262
BUG FIXES:
263
264
* Avoid KnitCorrupt error extracting inventories from some repositories.
265
(The data is not corrupt; an internal check is detecting a problem
266
reading from the repository.)
267
(Martin Pool, Andrew Bennetts, Robert Collins, #234748)
268
269
* ``bzr status`` was breaking if you merged the same revision twice.
270
(John Arbash Meinel, #235407)
271
272
* Fix infinite loop consuming 100% CPU when a connection is lost while
273
reading a response body via the smart protocol v1 or v2.
274
(Andrew Bennetts)
275
276
* Inserting a bundle which changes the contents of a file with no trailing
277
end of line, causing a knit snapshot in a 'knits' repository will no longer
278
cause KnitCorrupt. (Robert Collins)
279
280
* ``RemoteBranch.pull`` needs to return the ``self._real_branch``'s
281
pull result. It was instead just returning None, which breaks ``bzr
282
pull``. (John Arbash Meinel, #238149)
283
284
* Sanitize branch nick before using it as an attachment filename in
285
``bzr send``. (Lukáš Lalinský, #210218)
286
287
* Squash ``inv_entry.symlink_target`` to a plain string when
288
generating DirState details. This prevents from getting a
289
``UnicodeError`` when you have symlinks and non-ascii filenames.
290
(John Arbash Meinel, #135320)
291
292
IMPROVEMENTS:
293
294
* Added the 'alias' command to set/unset and display aliases. (Tim Penhey)
295
296
* ``added``, ``modified``, and ``unknowns`` behaviour made consistent (all three
297
now quote paths where required). Added ``--null`` option to ``added`` and
298
``modified`` (for null-separated unknowns, use ``ls --unknown --null``)
299
(Adrian Wilkins)
300
301
* Faster branching (1.09x) and lightweight checkouts (1.06x) on large trees.
302
(Ian Clatworthy, Aaron Bentley)
303
304
DOCUMENTATION:
305
306
* Added *Bazaar Zen* section to the User Guide. (Ian Clatworthy)
307
308
TESTING:
309
310
* Fix the test HTTPServer to be isolated from chdir calls made while it is
311
running, allowing it to be used in blackbox tests. (Robert Collins)
312
313
API CHANGES:
314
315
* ``WorkingTree.set_parent_(ids/trees)`` will now filter out revisions
316
which are in the ancestry of other revisions. So if you merge the same
317
tree twice, or merge an ancestor of an existing merge, it will only
318
record the newest. (If you merge a descendent, it will replace its
319
ancestor). (John Arbash Meinel, #235407)
320
321
* ``RepositoryPolicy.__init__`` now requires stack_on and stack_on_pwd,
322
through the derived classes do not. (Aaron Bentley)
323
324
INTERNALS:
325
326
* ``bzrlib.bzrdir.BzrDir.sprout`` now accepts ``stacked`` to control
327
creating stacked branches. (Robert Collins)
328
329
* Knit record serialisation is now stricter on what it will accept, to
330
guard against potential internal bugs, or broken input. (Robert Collins)
331
332
333
bzr 1.6beta1 2008-06-02
334
-----------------------
335
336
337
Commands that work on the revision history such as push, pull, missing,
338
uncommit and log are now substantially faster. This release adds a
339
translation of some of the user documentation into Spanish. (Contributions of
340
other translations would be very welcome.) Bazaar 1.6beta1 adds a new network
341
protocol which is used by default and which allows for more efficient transfers
342
and future extensions.
343
344
345
NOTES WHEN UPGRADING:
346
347
* There is a new version of the network protocol used for bzr://, bzr+ssh://
348
and bzr+http:// connections. This will allow more efficient requests and
349
responses, and more graceful fallback when a server is too old to
350
recognise a request from a more recent client. Bazaar 1.6 will
351
interoperate with 0.16 and later versions, but servers should be upgraded
352
when possible. Bazaar 1.6 no longer interoperates with 0.15 and earlier via
353
these protocols. Use alternatives like SFTP or upgrade those servers.
354
(Andrew Bennetts, #83935)
355
356
CHANGES:
357
358
* Deprecation warnings will not be suppressed when running ``bzr selftest``
359
so that developers can see if their code is using deprecated functions.
360
(John Arbash Meinel)
361
362
FEATURES:
363
364
* Adding ``-Derror`` will now display a traceback when a plugin fails to
365
load. (James Westby)
366
367
IMPROVEMENTS:
368
369
* ``bzr branch/push/pull -r XXX`` now have a helper function for finding
370
the revno of the new revision (``Graph.find_distance_to_null``). This
371
should make something like ``bzr branch -r -100`` in a shared, no-trees
372
repository much snappier. (John Arbash Meinel)
373
374
* ``bzr log --short -r X..Y`` no longer needs to access the full revision
375
history. This makes it noticeably faster when logging the last few
376
revisions. (John Arbash Meinel)
377
378
* ``bzr ls`` now accepts ``-V`` as an alias for ``--versioned``.
379
(Jerad Cramp, #165086)
380
381
* ``bzr missing`` uses the new ``Graph.find_unique_ancestors`` and
382
``Graph.find_differences`` to determine missing revisions without having
383
to search the whole ancestry. (John Arbash Meinel, #174625)
384
385
* ``bzr uncommit`` now uses partial history access, rather than always
386
extracting the full revision history for a branch. This makes it
387
resolve the appropriate revisions much faster (in testing it drops
388
uncommit from 1.5s => 0.4s). It also means ``bzr log --short`` is one
389
step closer to not using full revision history.
390
(John Arbash Meinel, #172649)
391
392
BUGFIXES:
393
394
* ``bzr merge --lca`` should handle when two revisions have no common
395
ancestor other than NULL_REVISION. (John Arbash Meinel, #235715)
396
397
* ``bzr status`` was breaking if you merged the same revision twice.
398
(John Arbash Meinel, #235407)
399
400
* ``bzr push`` with both ``--overwrite`` and ``-r NNN`` options no longer
401
fails. (Andrew Bennetts, #234229)
402
403
* Correctly track the base URL of a smart medium when using bzr+http://
404
URLs, which was causing spurious "No repository present" errors with
405
branches in shared repositories accessed over bzr+http.
406
(Andrew Bennetts, #230550)
407
408
* Define ``_remote_is_at_least_1_2`` on ``SmartClientMedium`` so that all
409
implementations have the attribute. Fixes 'PyCurlTransport' object has no
410
attribute '_remote_is_at_least_1_2' attribute errors.
411
(Andrew Bennetts, #220806)
412
413
* Failure to delete an obsolete pack file should just give a warning
414
message, not a fatal error. It may for example fail if the file is still
415
in use by another process.
416
(Martin Pool)
417
418
* Fix MemoryError during large fetches over HTTP by limiting the amount of
419
data we try to read per ``recv`` call. The problem was observed with
420
Windows and a proxy, but might affect other environments as well.
421
(Eric Holmberg, #215426)
422
423
* Handle old merge directives correctly in Merger.from_mergeable. Stricter
424
get_parent_map requirements exposed a latent bug here. (Aaron Bentley)
425
426
* Issue a warning and ignore passwords declared in authentication.conf when
427
used for an ssh scheme (sftp or bzr+ssh).
428
(Vincent Ladeuil, #203186)
429
430
* Make both http implementations raise appropriate exceptions on 403
431
Forbidden when POSTing smart requests.
432
(Vincent Ladeuil, #230223)
433
434
* Properly *title* header names in http requests instead of capitalizing
435
them.
436
(Vincent Ladeuil, #229076)
437
438
* The "Unable to obtain lock" error message now also suggests using
439
``bzr break-lock`` to fix it. (Martin Albisetti, #139202)
440
441
* Treat an encoding of '' as ascii; this can happen when bzr is run
442
under vim on Mac OS X.
443
(Neil Martinsen-Burrell)
444
445
* ``VersionedFile.make_mpdiffs()`` was raising an exception that wasn't in
446
scope. (Daniel Fischer #235687)
447
448
DOCUMENTATION:
449
450
* Added directory structure and started translation of docs in spanish.
451
(Martin Albisetti, Lucio Albenga)
452
453
* Incorporate feedback from Jelmer Vernooij and Neil Martinsen-Burrell
454
on the plugin and integration chapters of the User Guide.
455
(Ian Clatworthy)
456
457
* More Bazaar developer documentation about packaging and release process,
458
and about use of Python reprs.
459
(Martin Pool, Martin Albisetti)
460
461
* Updated Tortise strategy document. (Mark Hammond)
462
463
TESTING:
464
465
* ``bzrlib.tests.adapt_tests`` was broken and unused - it has been fixed.
466
(Robert Collins)
467
468
* Fix the test HTTPServer to be isolated from chdir calls made while it is
469
running, allowing it to be used in blackbox tests. (Robert Collins)
470
471
* New helper function for splitting test suites
472
``split_suite_by_condition``. (Robert Collins)
473
474
INTERNALS:
475
476
* ``Branch.missing_revisions`` has been deprecated. Similar functionality
477
can be obtained using ``bzrlib.missing.find_unmerged``. The api was
478
fairly broken, and the function was unused, so we are getting rid of it.
479
(John Arbash Meinel)
480
481
API CHANGES:
482
483
* ``Branch.abspath`` is deprecated; use the Tree or Transport
484
instead. (Martin Pool)
485
486
* ``Branch.update_revisions`` now takes an optional ``Graph``
487
object. This can be used by ``update_revisions`` when it is
488
checking ancestry, and allows callers to prefer request to go to a
489
local branch. (John Arbash Meinel)
490
491
* Branch, Repository, Tree and BzrDir should expose a Transport as an
492
attribute if they have one, rather than having it indirectly accessible
493
as ``.control_files._transport``. This doesn't add a requirement
494
to support a Transport in cases where it was not needed before;
495
it just simplifies the way it is reached. (Martin Pool)
496
497
* ``bzr missing --mine-only`` will return status code 0 if you have no
498
new revisions, but the remote does. Similarly for ``--theirs-only``.
499
The new code only checks one side, so it doesn't know if the other
500
side has changes. This seems more accurate with the request anyway.
501
It also changes the output to print '[This|Other] branch is up to
502
date.' rather than displaying nothing. (John Arbash Meinel)
503
504
* ``LockableFiles.put_utf8``, ``put_bytes`` and ``controlfilename``
505
are now deprecated in favor of using Transport operations.
506
(Martin Pool)
507
508
* Many methods on ``VersionedFile``, ``Repository`` and in
509
``bzrlib.revision`` deprecated before bzrlib 1.5 have been removed.
510
(Robert Collins)
511
512
* ``RevisionSpec.wants_revision_history`` can be set to False for a given
513
``RevisionSpec``. This will disable the existing behavior of passing in
514
the full revision history to ``self._match_on``. Useful for specs that
515
don't actually need access to the full history. (John Arbash Meinel)
516
517
* The constructors of ``SmartClientMedium`` and its subclasses now require a
518
``base`` parameter. ``SmartClientMedium`` implementations now also need
519
to provide a ``remote_path_from_transport`` method. (Andrew Bennetts)
520
521
* The default permissions for creating new files and directories
522
should now be obtained from ``BzrDir._get_file_mode()`` and
523
``_get_dir_mode()``, rather than from LockableFiles. The ``_set_file_mode``
524
and ``_set_dir_mode`` variables on LockableFiles which were advertised
525
as a way for plugins to control this are no longer consulted.
526
(Martin Pool)
527
528
* ``VersionedFile.join`` is deprecated. This method required local
529
instances of both versioned file objects and was thus hostile to being
530
used for streaming from a smart server. The new get_record_stream and
531
insert_record_stream are meant to efficiently replace this method.
532
(Robert Collins)
533
534
* ``WorkingTree.set_parent_(ids/trees)`` will now filter out revisions
535
which are in the ancestry of other revisions. So if you merge the same
536
tree twice, or merge an ancestor of an existing merge, it will only
537
record the newest. (If you merge a descendent, it will replace its
538
ancestor). (John Arbash Meinel, #235407)
539
540
* ``WorkingTreeFormat2.stub_initialize_remote`` is now private.
541

bzr 1.5 2008-05-16
545
------------------
546
547
This release of Bazaar includes several updates to the documentation, and fixes
548
to prepare for making rich root support the default format. Many bugs have been
549
squashed, including fixes to log, bzr+ssh inter-operation with older servers.
550
551
CHANGES:
552
553
* Suppress deprecation warnings when bzrlib is a 'final' release. This way
554
users of packaged software won't be bothered with DeprecationWarnings,
555
but developers and testers will still see them. (John Arbash Meinel)
556
557
DOCUMENTATION:
558
559
* Incorporate feedback from Jelmer Vernooij and Neil Martinsen-Burrell
560
on the plugin and integration chapters of the User Guide.

565
---------------------
566
567
NOTES WHEN UPGRADING:
568
569
CHANGES:
570
571
* Broader support of GNU Emacs mail clients. Set
572
``mail_client=emacsclient`` in your bazaar.conf and ``send`` will pop the
573
bundle in a mail buffer according to the value of ``mail-user-agent``
574
variable. (Xavier Maillard)
575
576
FEATURES:
577
578
IMPROVEMENTS:
579
580
* Diff now handles revision specs like "branch:" and "submit:" more
581
efficiently. (Aaron Bentley, #202928)
582
583
* More friendly error given when attempt to start the smart server
584
on an address already in use. (Andrea Corbellini, #200575)
585
586
* Pull completes much faster when there is nothing to pull.
587
(Aaron Bentley)
588
589
BUGFIXES:
590
591
* Authentication.conf can define sections without password.
592
(Vincent Ladeuil, #199440)
593
594
* Avoid muttering every time a child update does not cause a progress bar
595
update. (John Arbash Meinel, #213771)
596
597
* ``Branch.reconcile()`` is now implemented. This allows ``bzr reconcile``
598
to fix when a Branch has a non-canonical mainline history. ``bzr check``
599
also detects this condition. (John Arbash Meinel, #177855)
600
601
* ``bzr log -r ..X bzr://`` was failing, because it was getting a request
602
for ``revision_id=None`` which was not a string.
603
(John Arbash Meinel, #211661)
604
605
* ``bzr commit`` now works with Microsoft's FTP service.
606
(Andreas Deininger)
607
608
* Catch definitions outside sections in authentication.conf.
609
(Vincent Ladeuil, #217650)
610
611
* Conversion from non-rich-root to rich-root(-pack) updates inventory
612
sha1s, even when bundles are used. (Aaron Bentley, #181391)
613
614
* Conversion from non-rich-root to rich-root(-pack) works correctly even
615
though search keys are not topologically sorted. (Aaron Bentley)
616
617
* Conversion from non-rich-root to rich-root(-pack) works even when a
618
parent revision has a different root id. (Aaron Bentley, #177874)
619
620
* Disable strace testing until strace is fixed (see bug #103133) and emit a
621
warning when selftest ends to remind us of leaking tests.
622
(Vincent Ladeuil, #226769)
623
624
* Fetching all revisions from a repository does not cause pack collisions.
625
(Robert Collins, Aaron Bentley, #212908)
626
627
* Fix error about "attempt to add line-delta in non-delta knit".
628
(Andrew Bennetts, #217701)
629
630
* Pushing a branch in "dirstate" format (Branch5) over bzr+ssh would break
631
if the remote server was < version 1.2. This was due to a bug in the
632
RemoteRepository.get_parent_map() fallback code.
633
(John Arbash Meinel, #214894)
634
635
* Remove leftover code in ``bzr_branch`` that inappropriately creates
636
a ``branch-name`` file in the branch control directory.
637
(Martin Pool)
638
639
* Set SO_REUSEADDR on server sockets of ``bzr serve`` to avoid problems
640
rebinding the socket when starting the server a second time.
641
(John Arbash Meinel, Martin Pool, #164288)
642
643
* Severe performance degradation in fetching from knit repositories to
644
knits and packs due to parsing the entire revisions.kndx on every graph
645
walk iteration fixed by using the Repository.get_graph API. There was
646
another regression in knit => knit fetching which re-read the index for
647
every revision each side had in common.
648
(Robert Collins, John Arbash Meinel)
649
650
* When logging the changes to a particular file, there was a bug if there
651
were ghosts in the revision ancestry. (John Arbash Meinel, #209948)
652
653
* xs4all's ftp server returns a temporary error when trying to list an
654
empty directory, rather than returning an empty list. Adding a
655
workaround so that we don't get spurious failures.
656
(John Arbash Meinel, #215522)
657
658
DOCUMENTATION:
659
660
* Expanded the User Guide to include new chapters on popular plugins and
661
integrating Bazaar into your environment. The *Best practices* chapter
662
was renamed to *Miscellaneous topics* as suggested by community
663
feedback as well. (Ian Clatworthy)
664
665
* Document outlining strategies for TortoiseBzr. (Mark Hammond)
666
667
* Improved the documentation on hooks. (Ian Clatworthy)
668
669
* Update authentication docs regarding ssh agents.
670
(Vincent Ladeuil, #183705)
671
672
TESTING:
673
674
* Add ``thread_name_suffix`` parameter to SmartTCPServer_for_testing, to
675
make it easy to identify which test spawned a thread with an unhandled
676
exception. (Andrew Bennetts)
677
678
* New ``--debugflag``/``-E`` option to ``bzr selftest`` for setting
679
options for debugging tests, these are complementary to the the -D
680
options. The ``-Dselftest_debug`` global option has been replaced by the
681
``-E=allow_debug`` option for selftest. (Andrew Bennetts)
682
683
* Parameterised test ids are preserved correctly to aid diagnosis of test
684
failures. (Robert Collins, Andrew Bennetts)
685
686
* selftest now accepts --starting-with <id> to load only the tests whose id
687
starts with the one specified. This greatly speeds up running the test
688
suite on a limited set of tests and can be used to run the tests for a
689
single module, a single class or even a single test. (Vincent Ladeuil)
690
691
* The test suite modules have been modified to define load_tests() instead
692
of test_suite(). That speeds up selective loading (via --load-list)
693
significantly and provides many examples on how to migrate (grep for
694
load_tests). (Vincent Ladeuil)
695
696
INTERNALS:
697
698
* ``Hooks.install_hook`` is now deprecated in favour of
699
``Hooks.install_named_hook`` which adds a required ``name`` parameter, to
700
avoid having to call ``Hooks.name_hook``. (Daniel Watkins)
701
702
* Implement xml8 serializer. (Aaron Bentley)
703
704
* New form ``@deprecated_method(deprecated_in(1, 5, 0))`` for making
705
deprecation wrappers. (Martin Pool)
706
707
* ``Repository.revision_parents`` is now deprecated in favour of
708
``Repository.get_parent_map([revid])[revid]``. (Jelmer Vernooij)
709
710
* The Python ``assert`` statement is no longer used in Bazaar source, and
711
a test checks this. (Martin Pool)
712
713
API CHANGES:
714
715
* ``bzrlib.status.show_pending_merges`` requires the repository to be
716
locked by the caller. Callers should have been doing it anyway, but it
717
will now raise an exception if they do not. (John Arbash Meinel)
718
719
* Repository.get_data_stream, Repository.get_data_stream_for_search(),
720
Repository.get_deltas_for_revsions(), Repository.revision_trees(),
721
Repository.item_keys_introduced_by() no longer take read locks.
722
(Aaron Bentley)
723
724
* ``LockableFiles.get_utf8`` and ``.get`` are deprecated, as a start
725
towards removing LockableFiles and ``.control_files`` entirely.
726
(Martin Pool)
727
728
* Methods deprecated prior to 1.1 have been removed.

bzr 1.4 2008-04-28
733
------------------
734
735
This release of Bazaar includes handy improvements to the speed of log and
736
status, new options for several commands, improved documentation, and better
737
hooks, including initial code for server-side hooks. A number of bugs have
738
been fixed, particularly in interoperability between different formats or
739
different releases of Bazaar over there network. There's been substantial
740
internal work in both the repository and network code to enable new features
741
and faster performance.
742
743
BUG FIXES:
744
745
* Pushing a branch in "dirstate" format (Branch5) over bzr+ssh would break
746
if the remote server was < version 1.2. This was due to a bug in the
747
RemoteRepository.get_parent_map() fallback code.

bzr 1.4rc2 2008-04-21
752
---------------------
753
754
BUG FIXES:
755
756
* ``bzr log -r ..X bzr://`` was failing, because it was getting a request
757
for ``revision_id=None`` which was not a string.
758
(John Arbash Meinel, #211661)
759
760
* Fixed a bug in handling ghost revisions when logging changes in a
761
particular file. (John Arbash Meinel, #209948)
762
763
* Fix error about "attempt to add line-delta in non-delta knit".
764
(Andrew Bennetts, #205156)
765
766
* Fixed performance degradation in fetching from knit repositories to
767
knits and packs due to parsing the entire revisions.kndx on every graph
768
walk iteration fixed by using the Repository.get_graph API. There was
769
another regression in knit => knit fetching which re-read the index for

bzr 1.4rc1 2008-04-11
775
---------------------
776
777
CHANGES:
778
779
* bzr main script cannot be imported (Benjamin Peterson)
780
781
* On Linux bzr additionally looks for plugins in arch-independent site
782
directory. (Toshio Kuratomi)
783
784
* The ``set_rh`` branch hook is now deprecated. Please migrate
785
any plugins using this hook to use an alternative, e.g.
786
``post_change_branch_tip``. (Ian Clatworthy)
787
788
* When a plugin cannot be loaded as the file path is not a valid
789
python module name bzr will now strip a ``bzr_`` prefix from the
790
front of the suggested name, as many plugins (e.g. bzr-svn)
791
want to be installed without this prefix. It is a common mistake
792
to have a folder named "bzr-svn" for that plugin, especially
793
as this is what bzr branch lp:bzr-svn will give you. (James Westby,
794
Andrew Cowie)
795
796
* UniqueIntegerBugTracker now appends bug-ids instead of joining
797
them to the base URL. Plugins that register bug trackers may
798
need a trailing / added to the base URL if one is not already there.
799
(James Wesby, Andrew Cowie)
800
801
FEATURES:
802
803
* Added start_commit hook for mutable trees. (Jelmer Vernooij, #186422)
804
805
* ``status`` now accepts ``--no-pending`` to show the status without
806
listing pending merges, which speeds up the command a lot on large
807
histories. (James Westby, #202830)
808
809
* New ``post_change_branch_tip`` hook that is called after the
810
branch tip is moved but while the branch is still write-locked.
811
See the User Reference for signature details.
812
(Ian Clatworthy, James Henstridge)
813
814
* Reconfigure can convert a branch to be standalone or to use a shared
815
repository. (Aaron Bentley)
816
817
IMPROVEMENTS:
818
819
* The smart protocol now has support for setting branches' revision info
820
directly. This should make operations like push slightly faster, and is a
821
step towards server-side hooks. The new request method name is
822
``Branch.set_last_revision_info``. (Andrew Bennetts)
823
824
* ``bzr commit --fixes`` now recognises "gnome" as a tag by default.
825
(James Westby, Andrew Cowie)
826
827
* ``bzr switch`` will attempt to find branches to switch to relative to the
828
current branch. E.g. ``bzr switch branchname`` will look for
829
``current_branch/../branchname``. (Robert Collins, Jelmer Vernooij,
830
Wouter van Heyst)
831
832
* Diff is now more specific about execute-bit changes it describes
833
(Chad Miller)
834
835
* Fetching data over HTTP is a bit faster when urllib is used. This is done
836
by forcing it to recv 64k at a time when reading lines in HTTP headers,
837
rather than just 1 byte at a time. (Andrew Bennetts)
838
839
* Log --short and --line are much faster when -r is not specified.
840
(Aaron Bentley)
841
842
* Merge is faster. We no longer check a file's existence unnecessarily
843
when merging the execute bit. (Aaron Bentley)
844
845
* ``bzr status`` on an explicit list of files no longer shows pending
846
merges, making it much faster on large trees. (John Arbash Meinel)
847
848
* The launchpad directory service now warns the user if they have not set
849
their launchpad login and are trying to resolve a URL using it, just
850
in case they want to do a write operation with it. (James Westby)
851
852
* The smart protocol client is slightly faster, because it now only queries
853
the server for the protocol version once per connection. Also, the HTTP
854
transport will now automatically probe for and use a smart server if
855
one is present. You can use the new ``nosmart+`` transport decorator
856
to get the old behaviour. (Andrew Bennetts)
857
858
* The ``version`` command takes a ``--short`` option to print just the
859
version number, for easier use in scripts. (Martin Pool)
860
861
* Various operations with revision specs and commands that calculate
862
revnos and revision ids are faster. (John A. Meinel, Aaron Bentley)
863
864
BUGFIXES:
865
866
* Add ``root_client_path`` parameter to SmartWSGIApp and
867
SmartServerRequest. This makes it possible to publish filesystem
868
locations that don't exactly match URL paths. SmartServerRequest
869
subclasses should use the new ``translate_client_path`` and
870
``transport_from_client_path`` methods when dealing with paths received
871
from a client to take this into account. (Andrew Bennetts, #124089)
872
873
* ``bzr mv a b`` can be now used also to rename previously renamed
874
directories, not only files. (Lukáš Lalinský, #107967)
875
876
* ``bzr uncommit --local`` can now remove revisions from the local
877
branch to be symmetric with ``bzr commit --local``.
878
(John Arbash Meinel, #93412)
879
880
* Don't ask for a password if there is no real terminal.
881
(Alexander Belchenko, #69851)
882
883
* Fix a bug causing a ValueError crash in ``parse_line_delta_iter`` when
884
fetching revisions from a knit to pack repository or vice versa using
885
bzr:// (including over http or ssh).
886
(#208418, Andrew Bennetts, Martin Pool, Robert Collins)
887
888
* Fixed ``_get_line`` in ``bzrlib.smart.medium``, which was buggy. Also
889
fixed ``_get_bytes`` in the same module to use the push back buffer.
890
These bugs had no known impact in normal use, but were problematic for
891
developers working on the code, and were likely to cause real bugs sooner
892
or later. (Andrew Bennetts)
893
894
* Implement handling of basename parameter for DefaultMail. (James Westby)
895
896
* Incompatibility with Paramiko versions newer than 1.7.2 was fixed.
897
(Andrew Bennetts, #213425)
898
899
* Launchpad locations (lp: URLs) can be pulled. (Aaron Bentley, #181945)
900
901
* Merges that add files to deleted root directories complete. They
902
do create conflicts. (Aaron Bentley, #210092)
903
904
* vsftp's return ``550 RNFR command failed.`` supported.
905
(Marcus Trautwig, #129786)
906
907
DOCUMENTATION:
908
909
* Improved documentation on send/merge relationship. (Peter Schuller)
910
911
* Minor fixes to the User Guide. (Matthew Fuller)
912
913
* Reduced the evangelism in the User Guide. (Ian Clatworthy)
914
915
* Added Integrating with Bazaar document for developers (Martin Albisetti)
916
917
API BREAKS:
918
919
* Attempting to pull data from a ghost aware repository (e.g. knits) into a
920
non-ghost aware repository such as weaves will now fail if there are
921
ghosts. (Robert Collins)
922
923
* ``KnitVersionedFile`` no longer accepts an ``access_mode`` parameter, and
924
now requires the ``index`` and ``access_method`` parameters to be
925
supplied. A compatible shim has been kept in the new function
926
``knit.make_file_knit``. (Robert Collins)
927
928
* Log formatters must now provide log_revision instead of show and
929
show_merge_revno methods. The latter had been deprecated since the 0.17
930
release. (James Westby)
931
932
* ``LoopbackSFTP`` is now called ``SocketAsChannelAdapter``.
933
(Andrew Bennetts)
934
935
* ``osutils.backup_file`` is removed. (Alexander Belchenko)
936
937
* ``Repository.get_revision_graph`` is deprecated, with no replacement
938
method. The method was size(history) and not desirable. (Robert Collins)
939
940
* ``revision.revision_graph`` is deprecated, with no replacement function.
941
The function was size(history) and not desirable. (Robert Collins)
942
943
* ``Transport.get_shared_medium`` is deprecated. Use
944
``Transport.get_smart_medium`` instead. (Andrew Bennetts)
945
946
* ``VersionedFile`` factories now accept a get_scope parameter rather
947
than using a call to ``transaction_finished``, allowing the removal of
948
the fixed list of versioned files per repository. (Robert Collins)
949
950
* ``VersionedFile.annotate_iter`` is deprecated. While in principle this
951
allowed lower memory use, all users of annotations wanted full file
952
annotations, and there is no storage format suitable for incremental
953
line-by-line annotation. (Robert Collins)
954
955
* ``VersionedFile.clone_text`` is deprecated. This performance optimisation
956
is no longer used - reading the content of a file that is undergoing a
957
file level merge to identical state on two branches is rare enough, and
958
not expensive enough to special case. (Robert Collins)
959
960
* ``VersionedFile.clear_cache`` and ``enable_cache`` are deprecated.
961
These methods added significant complexity to the ``VersionedFile``
962
implementation, but were only used for optimising fetches from knits -
963
which can be done from outside the knit layer, or via a caching
964
decorator. As knits are not the default format, the complexity is no
965
longer worth paying. (Robert Collins)
966
967
* ``VersionedFile.create_empty`` is removed. This method presupposed a
968
sensible mapping to a transport for individual files, but pack backed
969
versioned files have no such mapping. (Robert Collins)
970
971
* ``VersionedFile.get_graph`` is deprecated, with no replacement method.
972
The method was size(history) and not desirable. (Robert Collins)
973
974
* ``VersionedFile.get_graph_with_ghosts`` is deprecated, with no
975
replacement method. The method was size(history) and not desirable.
976
(Robert Collins)
977
978
* ``VersionedFile.get_parents`` is deprecated, please use
979
``VersionedFile.get_parent_map``. (Robert Collins)
980
981
* ``VersionedFile.get_sha1`` is deprecated, please use
982
``VersionedFile.get_sha1s``. (Robert Collins)
983
984
* ``VersionedFile.has_ghost`` is now deprecated, as it is both expensive
985
and unused outside of a single test. (Robert Collins)
986
987
* ``VersionedFile.iter_parents`` is now deprecated in favour of
988
``get_parent_map`` which can be used to instantiate a Graph on a
989
VersionedFile. (Robert Collins)
990
991
* ``VersionedFileStore`` no longer uses the transaction parameter given
992
to most methods; amongst other things this means that the
993
get_weave_or_empty method no longer guarantees errors on a missing weave
994
in a readonly transaction, and no longer caches versioned file instances
995
which reduces memory pressure (but requires more careful management by
996
callers to preserve performance). (Robert Collins)
997
998
TESTING:
999
1000
* New -Dselftest_debug flag disables clearing of the debug flags during
1001
tests. This is useful if you want to use e.g. -Dhpss to help debug a
1002
failing test. Be aware that using this feature is likely to cause
1003
spurious test failures if used with the full suite. (Andrew Bennetts)
1004
1005
* selftest --load-list now uses a new more agressive test loader that will
1006
avoid loading unneeded modules and building their tests. Plugins can use
1007
this new loader by defining a load_tests function instead of a test_suite
1008
function. (a forthcoming patch will provide many examples on how to
1009
implement this).
1010
(Vincent Ladeuil)
1011
1012
* selftest --load-list now does some sanity checks regarding duplicate test
1013
IDs and tests present in the list but not found in the actual test suite.
1014
(Vincent Ladeuil)
1015
1016
* Slightly more concise format for the selftest progress bar, so there's
1017
more space to show the test name. (Martin Pool) ::
1018
1019
[2500/10884, 1fail, 3miss in 1m29s] test_revisionnamespaces.TestRev
1020
1021
* The test suite takes much less memory to run, and is a bit faster. This
1022
is done by clearing most attributes of TestCases after running them, if
1023
they succeeded. (Andrew Bennetts)
1024
1025
INTERNALS:
1026
1027
* Added ``_build_client_protocol`` to ``_SmartClient``. (Andrew Bennetts)
1028
1029
* Added basic infrastructure for automatic plugin suggestion.
1030
(Martin Albisetti)
1031
1032
* If a ``LockableFiles`` object is not explicitly unlocked (for example
1033
because of a missing ``try/finally`` block, it will give a warning but
1034
not automatically unlock itself. (Previously they did.) This
1035
sometimes caused knock-on errors if for example the network connection
1036
had already failed, and should not be relied upon by code.
1037
(Martin Pool, #109520)
1038
1039
* ``make dist`` target to build a release tarball, and also
1040
``check-dist-tarball`` and ``dist-upload-escudero``. (Martin Pool)
1041
1042
* The ``read_response_tuple`` method of ``SmartClientRequestProtocol*``
1043
classes will now raise ``UnknownSmartMethod`` when appropriate, so that
1044
callers don't need to try distinguish unknown request errors from other
1045
errors. (Andrew Bennetts)
1046
1047
* ``set_make_working_trees`` is now implemented provided on all repository
1048
implementations (Aaron Bentley)
1049
1050
* ``VersionedFile`` now has a new method ``get_parent_map`` which, like
1051
``Graph.get_parent_map`` returns a dict of key:parents. (Robert Collins)

BUG FIXES:
1064
1065
* Fix a bug causing a ValueError crash in ``parse_line_delta_iter`` when

bzr 1.3 2008-03-20
1072
------------------
1073
1074
Bazaar has become part of the GNU project <http://www.gnu.org>
1075
1076
Many operations that act on history, including ``log`` and ``annotate`` are now
1077
substantially faster. Several bugs have been fixed and several new options and
1078
features have been added.
1079
1080
TESTING:
1081
1082
* Avoid spurious failure of ``TestVersion.test_version`` matching

NOTES WHEN UPGRADING:
1091
1092
* The backup directory created by ``upgrade`` is now called
1093
``backup.bzr``, not ``.bzr.backup``. (Martin Albisetti)
1094
1095
CHANGES:
1096
1097
* A new repository format 'development' has been added. This format will
1098
represent the latest 'in-progress' format that the bzr developers are
1099
interested in getting early-adopter testing and feedback on.
1100
``doc/developers/development-repo.txt`` has detailed information.
1101
(Robert Collins)
1102
1103
* BZR_LOG environment variable controls location of .bzr.log trace file.
1104
User can suppress writing messages to .bzr.log by using '/dev/null'
1105
filename (on Linux) or 'NUL' (on Windows). If BZR_LOG variable
1106
is not defined but BZR_HOME is defined then default location
1107
for .bzr.log trace file is ``$BZR_HOME/.bzr.log``.
1108
(Alexander Belchenko)
1109
1110
* ``launchpad`` builtin plugin now shipped as separate part in standalone
1111
bzr.exe, installed to ``C:\Program Files\Bazaar\plugins`` directory,
1112
and standalone installer allows user to skip installation of this plugin.
1113
(Alexander Belchenko)
1114
1115
* Restore auto-detection of plink.exe on Windows. (Dmitry Vasiliev)
1116
1117
* Version number is now shown as "1.2" or "1.2pr2", without zeroed or
1118
missing final fields. (Martin Pool)
1119
1120
FEATURES:
1121
1122
* ``branch`` and ``checkout`` can hard-link working tree files, which is
1123
faster and saves space. (Aaron Bentley)
1124
1125
* ``bzr send`` will now also look at the ``child_submit_to`` setting in
1126
the submit branch to determine the email address to send to.
1127
(Jelmer Vernooij)
1128
1129
IMPROVEMENTS:
1130
1131
* BzrBranch._lefthand_history is faster on pack repos. (Aaron Bentley)
1132
1133
* Branch6.generate_revision_history is faster. (Aaron Bentley)
1134
1135
* Directory services can now be registered, allowing special URLs to be
1136
dereferenced into real URLs. This is a generalization and cleanup of
1137
the lp: transport lookup. (Aaron Bentley)
1138
1139
* Merge directives that are automatically attached to emails have nicer
1140
filenames, based on branch-nick + revno. (Aaron Bentley)
1141
1142
* ``push`` has a ``--revision`` option, to specify what revision to push up
1143
to. (Daniel Watkins)
1144
1145
* Significantly reducing execution time and network traffic for trivial
1146
case of running ``bzr missing`` command for two identical branches.
1147
(Alexander Belchenko)
1148
1149
* Speed up operations that look at the revision graph (such as 'bzr log').
1150
``KnitPackRepositor.get_revision_graph`` uses ``Graph.iter_ancestry`` to
1151
extract the revision history. This allows filtering ghosts while
1152
stepping instead of needing to peek ahead. (John Arbash Meinel)
1153
1154
* The ``hooks`` command lists installed hooks, to assist in debugging.
1155
(Daniel Watkins)
1156
1157
* Updates to how ``annotate`` work. Should see a measurable improvement in
1158
performance and memory consumption for file with a lot of merges.
1159
Also, correctly handle when a line is introduced by both parents (it
1160
should be attributed to the first merge which notices this, and not
1161
to all subsequent merges.) (John Arbash Meinel)
1162
1163
BUGFIXES:
1164
1165
* Autopacking no longer holds the full set of inventory lines in
1166
memory while copying. For large repositories, this can amount to
1167
hundreds of MB of ram consumption.
1168
(Ian Clatworthy, John Arbash Meinel)
1169
1170
* Cherrypicking when using ``--format=merge3`` now explictly excludes
1171
BASE lines. (John Arbash Meinel, #151731)
1172
1173
* Disable plink's interactive prompt for password.
1174
(#107593, Dmitry Vasiliev)
1175
1176
* Encode command line arguments from unicode to user_encoding before
1177
invoking external mail client in `bzr send` command.
1178
(#139318, Alexander Belchenko)
1179
1180
* Fixed problem connecting to ``bzr+https://`` servers.
1181
(#198793, John Ferlito)
1182
1183
* Improved error reporting in the Launchpad plugin. (Daniel Watkins,
1184
#196618)
1185
1186
* Include quick-start-summary.svg file to python-based installer(s)
1187
for Windows. (#192924, Alexander Belchenko)
1188
1189
* lca merge now respects specified files. (Aaron Bentley)
1190
1191
* Make version-info --custom imply --all. (#195560, James Westby)
1192
1193
* ``merge --preview`` now works for merges that add or modify
1194
symlinks (James Henstridge)
1195
1196
* Redirecting the output from ``bzr merge`` (when the remembered
1197
location is used) now works. (John Arbash Meinel)
1198
1199
* setup.py script explicitly checks for Python version.
1200
(Jari Aalto, Alexander Belchenko, #200569)
1201
1202
* UnknownFormatErrors no longer refer to branches regardless of kind of
1203
unknown format. (Daniel Watkins, #173980)
1204
1205
* Upgrade bundled ConfigObj to version 4.5.2, which properly quotes #
1206
signs, among other small improvements. (Matt Nordhoff, #86838)
1207
1208
* Use correct indices when emitting LCA conflicts. This fixes IndexError
1209
errors. (Aaron Bentley, #196780)
1210
1211
DOCUMENTATION:
1212
1213
* Explained how to use ``version-info --custom`` in the User Guide.
1214
(Neil Martinsen-Burrell)
1215
1216
API BREAKS:
1217
1218
* Support for loading plugins from zip files and
1219
``bzrlib.plugin.load_from_zip()`` function are deprecated.
1220
(Alexander Belchenko)
1221
1222
TESTING:
1223
1224
* Added missing blackbox tests for ``modified`` (Adrian Wilkins)
1225
1226
* The branch interface tests were invalid for branches using rich-root
1227
repositories because the empty string is not a valid file-id.
1228
(Robert Collins)
1229
1230
INTERNALS:
1231
1232
* ``Graph.iter_ancestry`` returns the ancestry of revision ids. Similar to
1233
``Repository.get_revision_graph()`` except it includes ghosts and you can
1234
stop part-way through. (John Arbash Meinel)
1235
1236
* New module ``tools/package_mf.py`` provide custom module finder for
1237
python packages (improves standard python library's modulefinder.py)
1238
used by ``setup.py`` script while building standalone bzr.exe.
1239
(Alexander Belchenko)
1240
1241
* New remote method ``RemoteBzrDir.find_repositoryV2`` adding support for
1242
detecting external lookup support on remote repositories. This method is
1243
now attempted first when lookup up repositories, leading to an extra
1244
round trip on older bzr smart servers. (Robert Collins)
1245
1246
* Repository formats have a new supported-feature attribute
1247
``supports_external_lookups`` used to indicate repositories which support
1248
falling back to other repositories when they have partial data.
1249
(Robert Collins)
1250
1251
* ``Repository.get_revision_graph_with_ghosts`` and
1252
``bzrlib.revision.(common_ancestor,MultipleRevisionSources,common_graph)``
1253
have been deprecated. (John Arbash Meinel)
1254
1255
* ``Tree.iter_changes`` is now a public API, replacing the work-in-progress
1256
``Tree._iter_changes``. The api is now considered stable and ready for
1257
external users. (Aaron Bentley)
1258
1259
* The bzrdir format registry now accepts an ``alias`` keyword to
1260
register_metadir, used to indicate that a format name is an alias for
1261
some other format and thus should not be reported when describing the
1262
format. (Robert Collins)

1276
NOTES WHEN UPGRADING:
1277
1278
* Fetching via the smart protocol may need to reconnect once during a fetch
1279
if the remote server is running Bazaar 1.1 or earlier, because the client
1280
attempts to use more efficient requests that confuse older servers. You
1281
may be required to re-enter a password or passphrase when this happens.
1282
This won't happen if the server is upgraded to Bazaar 1.2.
1283
(Andrew Bennetts)
1284
1285
CHANGES:
1286
1287
* Fetching via bzr+ssh will no longer fill ghosts by default (this is
1288
consistent with pack-0.92 fetching over SFTP). (Robert Collins)
1289
1290
* Formatting of ``bzr plugins`` output is changed to be more human-
1291
friendly. Full path of plugins locations will be shown only with
1292
``--verbose`` command-line option. (Alexander Belchenko)
1293
1294
* ``merge`` now prefers to use the submit branch, but will fall back to
1295
parent branch. For many users, this has no effect. But some users who
1296
pull and merge on the same branch will notice a change. This change
1297
makes it easier to work on a branch on two different machines, pulling
1298
between the machines, while merging from the upstream.
1299
``merge --remember`` can now be used to set the submit_branch.
1300
(Aaron Bentley)
1301
1302
FEATURES:
1303
1304
* ``merge --preview`` produces a diff of the changes merge would make,
1305
but does not actually perform the merge. (Aaron Bentley)
1306
1307
* New smart method ``Repository.get_parent_map`` for getting revision
1308
parent data. This returns additional parent information topologically
1309
adjacent to the requested data to reduce round trip latency impacts.
1310
(Robert Collins)
1311
1312
* New smart method, ``Repository.stream_revisions_chunked``, for fetching
1313
revision data that streams revision data via a chunked encoding. This
1314
avoids buffering large amounts of revision data on the server and on the
1315
client, and sends less data to the server to request the revisions.
1316
(Andrew Bennetts, Robert Collins, #178353)
1317
1318
* The launchpad plugin now handles lp urls of the form
1319
``lp://staging/``, ``lp://demo/``, ``lp://dev/`` to use the appropriate
1320
launchpad instance to do the resolution of the branch identities.
1321
This is primarily of use to Launchpad developers, but can also
1322
be used by other users who want to try out Launchpad as
1323
a branch location without messing up their public Launchpad
1324
account. Branches that are pushed to the staging environment
1325
have an expected lifetime of one day. (Tim Penhey)
1326
1327
IMPROVEMENTS:
1328
1329
* Creating a new branch no longer tries to read the entire revision-history
1330
unnecessarily over smart server operations. (Robert Collins)
1331
1332
* Fetching between different repository formats with compatible models now
1333
takes advantage of the smart method to stream revisions. (Andrew Bennetts)
1334
1335
* The ``--coverage`` option is now global, rather specific to ``bzr
1336
selftest``. (Andrew Bennetts)
1337
1338
* The ``register-branch`` command will now use the public url of the branch
1339
containing the current directory, if one has been set and no explicit
1340
branch is provided. (Robert Collins)
1341
1342
* Tweak the ``reannotate`` code path to optimize the 2-parent case.
1343
Speeds up ``bzr annotate`` with a pack repository by approx 3:2.
1344
(John Arbash Meinel)
1345
1346
BUGFIXES:
1347
1348
* Calculate remote path relative to the shared medium in _SmartClient. This
1349
is related to the problem in bug #124089. (Andrew Bennetts)
1350
1351
* Cleanly handle connection errors in smart protocol version two, the same
1352
way as they are handled by version one. (Andrew Bennetts)
1353
1354
* Clearer error when ``version-info --custom`` is used without
1355
``--template`` (Lukáš Lalinský)
1356
1357
* Don't raise UnavailableFeature during test setup when medusa is not
1358
available or tearDown is never called leading to nasty side effects.
1359
(#137823, Vincent Ladeuil)
1360
1361
* If a plugin's test suite cannot be loaded, for example because of a syntax
1362
error in the tests, then ``selftest`` fails, rather than just printing
1363
a warning. (Martin Pool, #189771)
1364
1365
* List possible values for BZR_SSH environment variable in env-variables
1366
help topic. (Alexander Belchenko, #181842)
1367
1368
* New methods ``push_log_file`` and ``pop_log_file`` to intercept messages:
1369
popping the log redirection now precisely restores the previous state,
1370
which makes it easier to use bzr log output from other programs.
1371
TestCaseInTempDir no longer depends on a log redirection being established
1372
by the test framework, which lets bzr tests cleanly run from a normal
1373
unittest runner.
1374
(#124153, #124849, Martin Pool, Jonathan Lange)
1375
1376
* ``pull --quiet`` is now more quiet, in particular a message is no longer
1377
printed when the remembered pull location is used. (James Westby,
1378
#185907)
1379
1380
* ``reconfigure`` can safely be interrupted while fetching.
1381
(Aaron Bentley, #179316)
1382
1383
* ``reconfigure`` preserves tags when converting to and from lightweight
1384
checkouts. (Aaron Bentley, #182040)
1385
1386
* Stop polluting /tmp when running selftest.
1387
(Vincent Ladeuil, #123623)
1388
1389
* Switch from NFKC => NFC for normalization checks. NFC allows a few
1390
more characters which should be considered valid.
1391
(John Arbash Meinel, #185458)
1392
1393
* The launchpad plugin now uses the ``edge`` xmlrpc server to avoid
1394
interacting badly with a bug on the launchpad side. (Robert Collins)
1395
1396
* Unknown hostnames when connecting to a ``bzr://`` URL no longer cause
1397
tracebacks. (Andrew Bennetts, #182849)
1398
1399
API BREAKS:
1400
1401
* Classes implementing Merge types like Merge3Merger must now accept (and
1402
honour) a do_merge flag in their constructor. (Aaron Bentley)
1403
1404
* ``Repository.add_inventory`` and ``add_revision`` now require the caller
1405
to previously take a write lock (and start a write group.)
1406
(Martin Pool)
1407
1408
TESTING:
1409
1410
* selftest now accepts --load-list <file> to load a test id list. This
1411
speeds up running the test suite on a limited set of tests.
1412
(Vincent Ladeuil)
1413
1414
INTERNALS:
1415
1416
* Add a new method ``get_result`` to graph search objects. The resulting
1417
``SearchResult`` can be used to recreate the search later, which will
1418
be useful in reducing network traffic. (Robert Collins)
1419
1420
* Use convenience function to check whether two repository handles
1421
are referring to the same repository in ``Repository.get_graph``.
1422
(Jelmer Vernooij, #187162)
1423
1424
* Fetching now passes the find_ghosts flag through to the
1425
``InterRepository.missing_revision_ids`` call consistently for all
1426
repository types. This will enable faster missing revision discovery with
1427
bzr+ssh. (Robert Collins)
1428
1429
* Fix error handling in Repository.insert_data_stream. (Lukas Lalinsky)
1430
1431
* ``InterRepository.missing_revision_ids`` is now deprecated in favour of
1432
``InterRepository.search_missing_revision_ids`` which returns a
1433
``bzrlib.graph.SearchResult`` suitable for making requests from the smart
1434
server. (Robert Collins)
1435
1436
* New error ``NoPublicBranch`` for commands that need a public branch to
1437
operate. (Robert Collins)
1438
1439
* New method ``iter_inventories`` on Repository for access to many
1440
inventories. This is primarily used by the ``revision_trees`` method, as
1441
direct access to inventories is discouraged. (Robert Collins)
1442
1443
* New method ``next_with_ghosts`` on the Graph breadth-first-search objects
1444
which will split out ghosts and present parents into two separate sets,
1445
useful for code which needs to be aware of ghosts (e.g. fetching data
1446
cares about ghosts during revision selection). (Robert Collins)
1447
1448
* Record a timestamp against each mutter to the trace file, relative to the
1449
first import of bzrlib. (Andrew Bennetts)
1450
1451
* ``Repository.get_data_stream`` is now deprecated in favour of
1452
``Repository.get_data_stream_for_search`` which allows less network
1453
traffic when requesting data streams over a smart server. (Robert Collins)
1454
1455
* ``RemoteBzrDir._get_tree_branch`` no longer triggers ``_ensure_real``,
1456
removing one round trip on many network operations. (Robert Collins)
1457
1458
* RemoteTransport's ``recommended_page_size`` method now returns 64k, like
1459
SFTPTransport and HttpTransportBase. (Andrew Bennetts)
1460
1461
* Repository has a new method ``has_revisions`` which signals the presence
1462
of many revisions by returning a set of the revisions listed which are
1463
present. This can be done by index queries without reading data for parent
1464
revision names etc. (Robert Collins)

bzr 1.1rc1 2008-01-05
1473
---------------------
1474
1475
CHANGES:
1476
1477
* Dotted revision numbers have been revised. Instead of growing longer with
1478
nested branches the branch number just increases. (eg instead of 1.1.1.1.1
1479
we now report 1.2.1.) This helps scale long lived branches which have many
1480
feature branches merged between them. (John Arbash Meinel)
1481
1482
* The syntax ``bzr diff branch1 branch2`` is no longer supported.
1483
Use ``bzr diff branch1 --new branch2`` instead. This change has
1484
been made to remove the ambiguity where ``branch2`` is in fact a
1485
specific file to diff within ``branch1``.
1486
1487
FEATURES:
1488
1489
* New option to use custom template-based formats in ``bzr version-info``.
1490
(Lukáš Lalinský)
1491
1492
* diff '--using' allows an external diff tool to be used for files.
1493
(Aaron Bentley)
1494
1495
* New "lca" merge-type for fast everyday merging that also supports
1496
criss-cross merges. (Aaron Bentley)
1497
1498
IMPROVEMENTS:
1499
1500
* ``annotate`` now doesn't require a working tree. (Lukáš Lalinský,
1501
#90049)
1502
1503
* ``branch`` and ``checkout`` can now use files from a working tree to
1504
to speed up the process. For checkout, this requires the new
1505
--files-from flag. (Aaron Bentley)
1506
1507
* ``bzr diff`` now sorts files in alphabetical order. (Aaron Bentley)
1508
1509
* ``bzr diff`` now works on branches without working trees. Tree-less
1510
branches can also be compared to each other and to working trees using
1511
the new diff options ``--old`` and ``--new``. Diffing between branches,
1512
with or without trees, now supports specific file filtering as well.
1513
(Ian Clatworthy, #6700)
1514
1515
* ``bzr pack`` now orders revision texts in topological order, with newest
1516
at the start of the file, promoting linear reads for ``bzr log`` and the
1517
like. This partially fixes #154129. (Robert Collins)
1518
1519
* Merge directives now fetch prerequisites from the target branch if
1520
needed. (Aaron Bentley)
1521
1522
* pycurl now handles digest authentication.
1523
(Vincent Ladeuil)
1524
1525
* ``reconfigure`` can now convert from repositories. (Aaron Bentley)
1526
1527
* ``-l`` is now a short form for ``--limit`` in ``log``. (Matt Nordhoff)
1528
1529
* ``merge`` now warns when merge directives cause cherrypicks.
1530
(Aaron Bentley)
1531
1532
* ``split`` now supported, to enable splitting large trees into smaller
1533
pieces. (Aaron Bentley)
1534
1535
BUGFIXES:
1536
1537
* Avoid AttributeError when unlocking a pack repository when an error occurs.
1538
(Martin Pool, #180208)
1539
1540
* Better handle short reads when processing multiple range requests.
1541
(Vincent Ladeuil, #179368)
1542
1543
* build_tree acceleration uses the correct path when a file has been moved.
1544
(Aaron Bentley)
1545
1546
* ``commit`` now succeeds when a checkout and its master branch share a
1547
repository. (Aaron Bentley, #177592)
1548
1549
* Fixed error reporting of unsupported timezone format in
1550
``log --timezone``. (Lukáš Lalinský, #178722)
1551
1552
* Fixed Unicode encoding error in ``ignored`` when the output is
1553
redirected to a pipe. (Lukáš Lalinský)
1554
1555
* Fix traceback when sending large response bodies over the smart protocol
1556
on Windows. (Andrew Bennetts, #115781)
1557
1558
* Fix ``urlutils.relative_url`` for the case of two ``file:///`` URLs
1559
pointed to different logical drives on Windows.
1560
(Alexander Belchenko, #90847)
1561
1562
* HTTP test servers are now compatible with the http protocol version 1.1.
1563
(Vincent Ladeuil, #175524)
1564
1565
* _KnitParentsProvider.get_parent_map now handles requests for ghosts
1566
correctly, instead of erroring or attributing incorrect parents to ghosts.
1567
(Aaron Bentley)
1568
1569
* ``merge --weave --uncommitted`` now works. (Aaron Bentley)
1570
1571
* pycurl authentication handling was broken and incomplete. Fix handling of
1572
user:pass embedded in the urls.
1573
(Vincent Ladeuil, #177643)
1574
1575
* Files inside non-directories are now handled like other conflict types.
1576
(Aaron Bentley, #177390)
1577
1578
* ``reconfigure`` is able to convert trees into lightweight checkouts.
1579
(Aaron Bentley)
1580
1581
* Reduce lockdir timeout to 0 when running ``bzr serve``. (Andrew Bennetts,
1582
#148087)
1583
1584
* Test that the old ``version_info_format`` functions still work, even
1585
though they are deprecated. (John Arbash Meinel, ShenMaq, #177872)
1586
1587
* Transform failures no longer cause ImmortalLimbo errors (Aaron Bentley,
1588
#137681)
1589
1590
* ``uncommit`` works even when the commit messages of revisions to be
1591
removed use characters not supported in the terminal encoding.
1592
(Aaron Bentley)
1593
1594
* When dumb http servers return whole files instead of the requested ranges,
1595
read the remaining bytes by chunks to avoid overflowing network buffers.
1596
(Vincent Ladeuil, #175886)
1597
1598
DOCUMENTATION:
1599
1600
* Minor tweaks made to the bug tracker integration documentation.
1601
(Ian Clatworthy)
1602
1603
* Reference material has now be moved out of the User Guide and added
1604
to the User Reference. The User Reference has gained 4 sections as
1605
a result: Authenication Settings, Configuration Settings, Conflicts
1606
and Hooks. All help topics are now dumped into text format in the
1607
doc/en/user-reference directory for those who like browsing that
1608
information in their editor. (Ian Clatworthy)
1609
1610
* *Using Bazaar with Launchpad* tutorial added. (Ian Clatworthy)
1611
1612
INTERNALS:
1613
1614
* find_* methods available for BzrDirs, Branches and WorkingTrees.
1615

1616
1617
* Help topics can now be loaded from files.
1618
(Ian Clatworthy, Alexander Belchenko)
1619
1620
* get_parent_map now always provides tuples as its output. (Aaron Bentley)
1621
1622
* Parent Providers should now implement ``get_parent_map`` returning a
1623
dictionary instead of ``get_parents`` returning a list.
1624
``Graph.get_parents`` is now deprecated. (John Arbash Meinel,
1625
Robert Collins)
1626
1627
* Patience Diff now supports arbitrary python objects, as long as they
1628
support ``hash()``. (John Arbash Meinel)
1629
1630
* Reduce selftest overhead to establish test names by memoization.
1631
(Vincent Ladeuil)
1632
1633
API BREAKS:
1634
1635
TESTING:
1636
1637
* Modules can now customise their tests by defining a ``load_tests``
1638
attribute. ``pydoc bzrlib.tests.TestUtil.TestLoader.loadTestsFromModule``
1639
for the documentation on this attribute. (Robert Collins)
1640
1641
* New helper function ``bzrlib.tests.condition_id_re`` which helps
1642
filter tests based on a regular expression search on the tests id.
1643
(Robert Collins)
1644
1645
* New helper function ``bzrlib.tests.condition_isinstance`` which helps
1646
filter tests based on class. (Robert Collins)
1647
1648
* New helper function ``bzrlib.tests.exclude_suite_by_condition`` which
1649
generalises the ``exclude_suite_by_re`` function. (Robert Collins)
1650
1651
* New helper function ``bzrlib.tests.filter_suite_by_condition`` which
1652
generalises the ``filter_suite_by_re`` function. (Robert Collins)
1653
1654
* New helper method ``bzrlib.tests.exclude_tests_by_re`` which gives a new
1655
TestSuite that does not contain tests from the input that matched a
1656
regular expression. (Robert Collins)
1657
1658
* New helper method ``bzrlib.tests.randomize_suite`` which returns a
1659
randomized copy of the input suite. (Robert Collins)
1660
1661
* New helper method ``bzrlib.tests.split_suite_by_re`` which splits a test
1662
suite into two according to a regular expression. (Robert Collins)
1663
1664
* Parametrize all http tests for the transport implementations, the http
1665
protocol versions (1.0 and 1.1) and the authentication schemes.
1666
(Vincent Ladeuil)
1667
1668
* The ``exclude_pattern`` and ``random_order`` parameters to the function
1669
``bzrlib.tests.filter_suite_by_re`` have been deprecated. (Robert Collins)
1670
1671
* The method ``bzrlib.tests.sort_suite_by_re`` has been deprecated. It is
1672
replaced by the new helper methods added in this release. (Robert Collins)

BUGFIXES:
1703
1704
* Fix Makefile rules for doc generation. (Ian Clatworthy, #175207)
1705
1706
* Give more feedback during long http downloads by making readv deliver data
1707
as it arrives for urllib, and issue more requests for pycurl. High latency
1708
networks are better handled by urllib, the pycurl implementation give more
1709
feedback but also incur more latency.
1710
(Vincent Ladeuil, #173010)
1711
1712

1740
* ``bzr commit`` now doesn't print the revision number twice. (Matt
1741
Nordhoff, #172612)
1742
1743
* New configuration option ``bugtracker_<tracker_abbrevation>_url`` to
1744
define locations of bug trackers that are not directly supported by
1745
bzr or a plugin. The URL will be treated as a template and ``{id}``
1746
placeholders will be replaced by specific bug IDs. (Lukáš Lalinský)
1747
1748
* Support logging single merge revisions with short and line log formatters.
1749
(Kent Gibson)
1750
1751
* User Guide enhanced with suggested readability improvements from
1752
Matt Revell and corrections from John Arbash Meinel. (Ian Clatworthy)
1753
1754
* Quick Start Guide renamed to Quick Start Card, moved down in
1755
the catalog, provided in pdf and png format and updated to refer
1756
to ``send`` instead of ``bundle``. (Ian Clatworthy, #165080)
1757
1758
* ``switch`` can now be used on heavyweight checkouts as well as
1759
lightweight ones. After switching a heavyweight checkout, the
1760
local branch is a mirror/cache of the new bound branch and
1761
uncommitted changes in the working tree are merged. As a safety
1762
check, if there are local commits in a checkout which have not
1763
been committed to the previously bound branch, then ``switch``
1764
fails unless the ``--force`` option is given. This option is
1765
now also required if the branch a lightweight checkout is pointing
1766
to has been moved. (Ian Clatworthy)

1781
filename to user.
1782
(Alexander Belchenko, #111758)
1783
1784
* Catch ShortReadvErrors while using pycurl. Also make readv more robust by
1785
allowing multiple GET requests to be issued if too many ranges are
1786
required.
1787
(Vincent Ladeuil, #172701)
1788
1789
* Check for missing basis texts when fetching from packs to packs.
1790
(John Arbash Meinel, #165290)
1791

1802
---------------------

1804
NOTES WHEN UPGRADING:
1805
1806
* The default repository format is now ``pack-0.92``. This
1807
default is used when creating new repositories with ``init`` and
1808
``init-repo``, and when branching over bzr+ssh or bzr+hpss.
1809
(See https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/164626)
1810
1811
This format can be read and written by Bazaar 0.92 and later, and
1812
data can be transferred to and from older formats.
1813
1814
To upgrade, please reconcile your repository (``bzr reconcile``), and then
1815
upgrade (``bzr upgrade``).
1816
1817
``pack-0.92`` offers substantially better scaling and performance than the
1818
previous knits format. Some operations are slower where the code already
1819
had bad scaling characteristics under knits, the pack format makes such
1820
operations more visible as part of being more scalable overall. We will
1821
correct such operations over the coming releases and encourage the filing
1822
of bugs on any operation which you observe to be slower in a packs
1823
repository. One particular case that we do not intend to fix is pulling
1824
data from a pack repository into a knit repository over a high latency
1825
link; downgrading such data requires reinsertion of the file texts, and
1826
this is a classic space/time tradeoff. The current implementation is
1827
conservative on memory usage because we need to support converting data
1828
from any tree without problems.
1829
(Robert Collins, Martin Pool, #164476)
1830
1831
CHANGES:
1832
1833
* Disable detection of plink.exe as possible ssh vendor. Plink vendor
1834
still available if user selects it explicitly with BZR_SSH environment
1835
variable. (Alexander Belchenko, workaround for bug #107593)
1836
1837
* The pack format is now accessible as "pack-0.92", or "pack-0.92-subtree"
1838
to enable the subtree functions (for example, for bzr-svn).
1839
See http://doc.bazaar-vcs.org/latest/developer/packrepo.html
1840
(Martin Pool)
1841
1842
FEATURES:
1843
1844
* New ``authentication.conf`` file holding the password or other credentials
1845
for remote servers. This can be used for ssh, sftp, smtp and other
1846
supported transports.
1847
(Vincent Ladeuil)
1848
1849
* New rich-root and rich-root-pack formats, recording the same data about
1850
tree roots that's recorded for all other directories.
1851
(Aaron Bentley, #164639)
1852
1853
* ``pack-0.92`` repositories can now be reconciled.
1854
(Robert Collins, #154173)
1855
1856
* ``switch`` command added for changing the branch a lightweight checkout
1857
is associated with and updating the tree to reflect the latest content
1858
accordingly. This command was previously part of the BzrTools plug-in.
1859
(Ian Clatworthy, Aaron Bentley, David Allouche)
1860
1861
* ``reconfigure`` command can now convert branches, trees, or checkouts to
1862
lightweight checkouts. (Aaron Bentley)
1863
1864
PERFORMANCE:
1865
1866
* Commit updates the state of the working tree via a delta rather than
1867
supplying entirely new basis trees. For commit of a single specified file
1868
this reduces the wall clock time for commit by roughly a 30%.
1869
(Robert Collins, Martin Pool)
1870
1871
* Commit with many automatically found deleted paths no longer performs
1872
linear scanning for the children of those paths during inventory
1873
iteration. This should fix commit performance blowing out when many such
1874
paths occur during commit. (Robert Collins, #156491)
1875
1876
* Fetch with pack repositories will no longer read the entire history graph.
1877
(Robert Collins, #88319)
1878
1879
* Revert takes out an appropriate lock when reverting to a basis tree, and
1880
does not read the basis inventory twice. (Robert Collins)
1881
1882
* Diff does not require an inventory to be generated on dirstate trees.
1883
(Aaron Bentley, #149254)
1884
1885
* New annotate merge (--merge-type=weave) implementation is fast on
1886
versionedfiles withough cached annotations, e.g. pack-0.92.
1887
(Aaron Bentley)
1888
1889
IMPROVEMENTS:
1890
1891
* ``bzr merge`` now warns when it encounters a criss-cross merge.
1892
(Aaron Bentley)
1893
1894
* ``bzr send`` now doesn't require the target e-mail address to be
1895
specified on the command line if an interactive e-mail client is used.
1896
(Lukáš Lalinský)
1897
1898
* ``bzr tags`` now prints the revision number for each tag, instead of
1899
the revision id, unless --show-ids is passed. In addition, tags can be
1900
sorted chronologically instead of lexicographically with --sort=time.
1901
(Adeodato Simó, #120231)
1902
1903
* Windows standalone version of bzr is able to load system-wide plugins from
1904
"plugins" subdirectory in installation directory. In addition standalone
1905
installer write to the registry (HKLM\SOFTWARE\Bazaar) useful info
1906
about paths and bzr version. (Alexander Belchenko, #129298)

1934
(Aaron Bentley)
1935
1936
* Do no use timeout in HttpServer anymore.
1937
(Vincent Ladeuil, #158972).
1938
1939
* Don't catch the exceptions related to the http pipeline status before
1940
retrying an http request or some programming errors may be masked.
1941
(Vincent Ladeuil, #160012)
1942
1943

1954
1955
* Fix possible error in insert_data_stream when copying between
1956
pack repositories over bzr+ssh or bzr+http.
1957
KnitVersionedFile.get_data_stream now makes sure that requested
1958
compression parents are sent before any delta hunks that depend
1959
on them.
1960
(Martin Pool, #164637)
1961
1962
* Fix typo in limiting offsets coalescing for http, leading to
1963
whole files being downloaded instead of parts.
1964
(Vincent Ladeuil, #165061)
1965
1966
* FTP server errors don't error in the error handling code.
1967
(Robert Collins, #161240)
1968
1969
* Give a clearer message when a pull fails because the source needs
1970
to be reconciled.
1971
(Martin Pool, #164443)
1972
1973
* It is clearer when a plugin cannot be loaded because of its name, and a
1974
suggestion for an acceptable name is given. (Daniel Watkins, #103023)
1975
1976
* Leave port as None in transport objects if user doesn't
1977
specify a port in urls.
1978
(vincent Ladeuil, #150860)
1979
1980
* Make sure Repository.fetch(self) is properly a no-op for all
1981
Repository implementations. (John Arbash Meinel, #158333)
1982
1983
* Mark .bzr directories as "hidden" on Windows.

1997
1998
* ``RemoteBranch`` was not initializing ``self._revision_id_to_revno_map``
1999
properly. (John Arbash Meinel, #162486)

(Kent Gibson, #133751)
2009
2010

2011
symlink on some platforms (e.g. on Windows).
2012
(Alexander Belchenko, workaround for #81689)
2013
2014
* Revert doesn't crash when restoring a single file from a deleted
2015
directory. (Aaron Bentley)
2016
2017
* Stderr output via logging mechanism now goes through encoded wrapper
2018
and no more uses utf-8, but terminal encoding instead. So all unicode
2019
strings now should be readable in non-utf-8 terminal.
2020
(Alexander Belchenko, #54173)
2021
2022
* The error message when ``move --after`` should be used makes how to do so
2023
clearer. (Daniel Watkins, #85237)
2024
2025
* Unicode-safe output from ``bzr info``. The output will be encoded
2026
using the terminal encoding and unrepresentable characters will be
2027
replaced by '?'. (Lukáš Lalinský, #151844)
2028
2029
* Working trees are no longer created when pushing into a local no-trees
2030
repo. (Daniel Watkins, #50582)
2031
2032
* Upgrade util/configobj to version 4.4.0.
2033
(Vincent Ladeuil, #151208).
2034
2035
* Wrap medusa ftp test server as an FTPServer feature.
2036
(Vincent Ladeuil, #157752)
2037
2038
API BREAKS:
2039
2040
* ``osutils.backup_file`` is deprecated. Actually it's not used in bzrlib
2041
during very long time. (Alexander Belchenko)
2042
2043
* The return value of
2044
``VersionedFile.iter_lines_added_or_present_in_versions`` has been
2045
changed. Previously it was an iterator of lines, now it is an iterator of
2046
(line, version_id) tuples. This change has been made to aid reconcile and
2047
fetch operations. (Robert Collins)
2048
2049
* ``bzrlib.repository.get_versioned_file_checker`` is now private.
2050
(Robert Collins)
2051
2052
* The Repository format registry default has been removed; it was previously
2053
obsoleted by the bzrdir format default, which implies a default repository
2054
format.
2055
(Martin Pool)
2056
2057
INTERNALS:
2058
2059
* Added ``ContainerSerialiser`` and ``ContainerPushParser`` to
2060
``bzrlib.pack``. These classes provide more convenient APIs for generating
2061
and parsing containers from streams rather than from files. (Andrew
2062
Bennetts)
2063
2064
* New module ``lru_cache`` providing a cache for use by tasks that need
2065
semi-random access to large amounts of data. (John A Meinel)
2066
2067
* InventoryEntry.diff is now deprecated. Please use diff.DiffTree instead.

NOTES WHEN UPGRADING:
2084
2085
CHANGES:
2086
2087
* ``bzr`` now returns exit code 4 if an internal error occurred, and
2088
3 if a normal error occurred. (Martin Pool)
2089
2090
* ``pull``, ``merge`` and ``push`` will no longer silently correct some
2091
repository index errors that occured as a result of the Weave disk format.
2092
Instead the ``reconcile`` command needs to be run to correct those
2093
problems if they exist (and it has been able to fix most such problems
2094
since bzr 0.8). Some new problems have been identified during this release
2095
and you should run ``bzr check`` once on every repository to see if you
2096
need to reconcile. If you cannot ``pull`` or ``merge`` from a remote
2097
repository due to mismatched parent errors - a symptom of index errors -
2098
you should simply take a full copy of that remote repository to a clean
2099
directory outside any local repositories, then run reconcile on it, and
2100
finally pull from it locally. (And naturally email the repositories owner
2101
to ask them to upgrade and run reconcile).
2102
(Robert Collins)
2103
2104
FEATURES:
2105
2106
* New ``knitpack-experimental`` repository format. This is interoperable with
2107
the ``dirstate-tags`` format but uses a smarter storage design that greatly
2108
speeds up many operations, both local and remote. This new format can be
2109
used as an option to the ``init``, ``init-repository`` and ``upgrade``
2110
commands. See http://doc.bazaar-vcs.org/0.92/developers/knitpack.html
2111
for further details. (Robert Collins)
2112
2113
* For users of bzr-svn (and those testing the prototype subtree support) that
2114
wish to try packs, a new ``knitpack-subtree-experimental`` format has also
2115
been added. This is interoperable with the ``dirstate-subtrees`` format.
2116
(Robert Collins)
2117
2118
* New ``reconfigure`` command. (Aaron Bentley)
2119
2120
* New ``revert --forget-merges`` command, which removes the record of a pending
2121
merge without affecting the working tree contents. (Martin Pool)
2122
2123
* New ``bzr_remote_path`` configuration variable allows finer control of
2124
remote bzr locations than BZR_REMOTE_PATH environment variable.
2125
(Aaron Bentley)
2126
2127
* New ``launchpad-login`` command to tell Bazaar your Launchpad
2128
user ID. This can then be used by other functions of the
2129
Launchpad plugin. (James Henstridge)
2130
2131
PERFORMANCE:
2132
2133
* Commit in quiet mode is now slightly faster as the information to
2134
output is no longer calculated. (Ian Clatworthy)
2135
2136
* Commit no longer checks for new text keys during insertion when the
2137
revision id was deterministically unique. (Robert Collins)
2138
2139
* Committing a change which is not a merge and does not change the number of
2140
files in the tree is faster by utilising the data about whether files are
2141
changed to determine if the tree is unchanged rather than recalculating
2142
it at the end of the commit process. (Robert Collins)
2143
2144
* Inventory serialisation no longer double-sha's the content.
2145
(Robert Collins)
2146
2147
* Knit text reconstruction now avoids making copies of the lines list for
2148
interim texts when building a single text. The new ``apply_delta`` method
2149
on ``KnitContent`` aids this by allowing modification of the revision id
2150
such objects represent. (Robert Collins)
2151
2152
* Pack indices are now partially parsed for specific key lookup using a
2153
bisection approach. (Robert Collins)
2154
2155
* Partial commits are now approximately 40% faster by walking over the
2156
unselected current tree more efficiently. (Robert Collins)
2157
2158
* XML inventory serialisation takes 20% less time while being stricter about
2159
the contents. (Robert Collins)
2160
2161
* Graph ``heads()`` queries have been fixed to no longer access all history
2162
unnecessarily. (Robert Collins)
2163
2164
IMPROVEMENTS:
2165
2166
* ``bzr+https://`` smart server across https now supported.
2167
(John Ferlito, Martin Pool, #128456)
2168
2169
* Mutt is now a supported mail client; set ``mail_client=mutt`` in your
2170
bazaar.conf and ``send`` will use mutt. (Keir Mierle)
2171
2172
* New option ``-c``/``--change`` for ``merge`` command for cherrypicking
2173
changes from one revision. (Alexander Belchenko, #141368)
2174
2175
* Show encodings, locale and list of plugins in the traceback message.
2176
(Martin Pool, #63894)
2177
2178
* Experimental directory formats can now be marked with
2179
``experimental = True`` during registration. (Ian Clatworthy)
2180
2181
DOCUMENTATION:
2182
2183
* New *Bazaar in Five Minutes* guide. (Matthew Revell)
2184
2185
* The hooks reference documentation is now converted to html as expected.
2186
(Ian Clatworthy)
2187
2188
BUG FIXES:
2189
2190
* Connection error reporting for the smart server has been fixed to
2191
display a user friendly message instead of a traceback.
2192
(Ian Clatworthy, #115601)
2193
2194
* Make sure to use ``O_BINARY`` when opening files to check their
2195
sha1sum. (Alexander Belchenko, John Arbash Meinel, #153493)
2196
2197
* Fix a problem with Win32 handling of the executable bit.
2198
(John Arbash Meinel, #149113)
2199
2200
* ``bzr+ssh://`` and ``sftp://`` URLs that do not specify ports explicitly
2201
no longer assume that means port 22. This allows people using OpenSSH to
2202
override the default port in their ``~/.ssh/config`` if they wish. This
2203
fixes a bug introduced in bzr 0.91. (Andrew Bennetts, #146715)
2204
2205
* Commands reporting exceptions can now be profiled and still have their
2206
data correctly dumped to a file. For example, a ``bzr commit`` with
2207
no changes still reports the operation as pointless but doing so no
2208
longer throws away the profiling data if this command is run with
2209
``--lsprof-file callgrind.out.ci`` say. (Ian Clatworthy)
2210
2211
* Fallback to ftp when paramiko is not installed and sftp can't be used for
2212
``tests/commands`` so that the test suite is still usable without
2213
paramiko.
2214
(Vincent Ladeuil, #59150)
2215
2216
* Fix commit ordering in corner case. (Aaron Bentley, #94975)
2217
2218
* Fix long standing bug in partial commit when there are renames
2219
left in tree. (Robert Collins, #140419)
2220
2221
* Fix selftest semi-random noise during http related tests.
2222
(Vincent Ladeuil, #140614)
2223
2224
* Fix typo in ftp.py making the reconnection fail on temporary errors.
2225
(Vincent Ladeuil, #154259)
2226
2227
* Fix failing test by comparing real paths to cover the case where the TMPDIR
2228
contains a symbolic link.
2229
(Vincent Ladeuil, #141382).
2230
2231
* Fix log against smart server branches that don't support tags.
2232
(James Westby, #140615)
2233
2234
* Fix pycurl http implementation by defining error codes from
2235
pycurl instead of relying on an old curl definition.
2236
(Vincent Ladeuil, #147530)
2237
2238
* Fix 'unprintable error' message when displaying BzrCheckError and
2239
some other exceptions on Python 2.5.
2240
(Martin Pool, #144633)
2241
2242
* Fix ``Inventory.copy()`` and add test for it. (Jelmer Vernooij)
2243
2244
* Handles default value for ListOption in cmd_commit.
2245
(Vincent Ladeuil, #140432)
2246
2247
* HttpServer and FtpServer need to be closed properly or a listening socket
2248
will remain opened.
2249
(Vincent Ladeuil, #140055)
2250
2251
* Monitor the .bzr directory created in the top level test
2252
directory to detect leaking tests.
2253
(Vincent Ladeuil, #147986)
2254
2255
* The basename, not the full path, is now used when checking whether
2256
the profiling dump file begins with ``callgrind.out`` or not. This
2257
fixes a bug reported by Aaron Bentley on IRC. (Ian Clatworthy)
2258
2259
* Trivial fix for invoking command ``reconfigure`` without arguments.
2260
(Rob Weir, #141629)
2261
2262
* ``WorkingTree.rename_one`` will now raise an error if normalisation of the
2263
new path causes bzr to be unable to access the file. (Robert Collins)
2264
2265
* Correctly detect a NoSuchFile when using a filezilla server. (Gary van der
2266
Merwe)
2267
2268
API BREAKS:
2269
2270
* ``bzrlib.index.GraphIndex`` now requires a size parameter to the
2271
constructor, for enabling bisection searches. (Robert Collins)
2272
2273
* ``CommitBuilder.record_entry_contents`` now requires the root entry of a
2274
tree be supplied to it, previously failing to do so would trigger a
2275
deprecation warning. (Robert Collins)
2276
2277
* ``KnitVersionedFile.add*`` will no longer cache added records even when
2278
enable_cache() has been called - the caching feature is now exclusively for
2279
reading existing data. (Robert Collins)
2280
2281
* ``ReadOnlyLockError`` is deprecated; ``LockFailed`` is usually more
2282
appropriate. (Martin Pool)
2283
2284
* Removed ``bzrlib.transport.TransportLogger`` - please see the new
2285
``trace+`` transport instead. (Robert Collins)
2286
2287
* Removed previously deprecated varargs interface to ``TestCase.run_bzr`` and
2288
deprecated methods ``TestCase.capture`` and ``TestCase.run_bzr_captured``.
2289
(Martin Pool)
2290
2291
* Removed previous deprecated ``basis_knit`` parameter to the
2292
``KnitVersionedFile`` constructor. (Robert Collins)
2293
2294
* Special purpose method ``TestCase.run_bzr_decode`` is moved to the test_non_ascii
2295
class that needs it.
2296
(Martin Pool)
2297
2298
* The class ``bzrlib.repofmt.knitrepo.KnitRepository3`` has been folded into
2299
``KnitRepository`` by parameters to the constructor. (Robert Collins)
2300
2301
* The ``VersionedFile`` interface now allows content checks to be bypassed
2302
by supplying check_content=False. This saves nearly 30% of the minimum
2303
cost to store a version of a file. (Robert Collins)
2304
2305
* Tree's with bad state such as files with no length or sha will no longer
2306
be silently accepted by the repository XML serialiser. To serialise
2307
inventories without such data, pass working=True to write_inventory.
2308
(Robert Collins)
2309
2310
* ``VersionedFile.fix_parents`` has been removed as a harmful API.
2311
``VersionedFile.join`` will no longer accept different parents on either
2312
side of a join - it will either ignore them, or error, depending on the
2313
implementation. See notes when upgrading for more information.
2314
(Robert Collins)
2315
2316
INTERNALS:
2317
2318
* ``bzrlib.transport.Transport.put_file`` now returns the number of bytes
2319
put by the method call, to allow avoiding stat-after-write or
2320
housekeeping in callers. (Robert Collins)
2321
2322
* ``bzrlib.xml_serializer.Serializer`` is now responsible for checking that
2323
mandatory attributes are present on serialisation and deserialisation.
2324
This fixes some holes in API usage and allows better separation between
2325
physical storage and object serialisation. (Robert Collins)
2326
2327
* New class ``bzrlib.errors.InternalBzrError`` which is just a convenient
2328
shorthand for deriving from BzrError and setting internal_error = True.
2329
(Robert Collins)
2330
2331
* New method ``bzrlib.mutabletree.update_to_one_parent_via_delta`` for
2332
moving the state of a parent tree to a new version via a delta rather than
2333
a complete replacement tree. (Robert Collins)
2334
2335
* New method ``bzrlib.osutils.minimum_path_selection`` useful for removing
2336
duplication from user input, when a user mentions both a path and an item
2337
contained within that path. (Robert Collins)
2338
2339
* New method ``bzrlib.repository.Repository.is_write_locked`` useful for
2340
determining if a repository is write locked. (Robert Collins)
2341
2342
* New method on ``bzrlib.tree.Tree`` ``path_content_summary`` provides a
2343
tuple containing the key information about a path for commit processing
2344
to complete. (Robert Collins)
2345
2346
* New method on xml serialisers, write_inventory_to_lines, which matches the
2347
API used by knits for adding content. (Robert Collins)
2348
2349
* New module ``bzrlib.bisect_multi`` with generic multiple-bisection-at-once
2350
logic, currently only available for byte-based lookup
2351
(``bisect_multi_bytes``). (Robert Collins)
2352
2353
* New helper ``bzrlib.tuned_gzip.bytes_to_gzip`` which takes a byte string
2354
and returns a gzipped version of the same. This is used to avoid a bunch
2355
of api friction during adding of knit hunks. (Robert Collins)
2356
2357
* New parameter on ``bzrlib.transport.Transport.readv``
2358
``adjust_for_latency`` which changes readv from returning strictly the
2359
requested data to inserted return larger ranges and in forward read order
2360
to reduce the effect of network latency. (Robert Collins)
2361
2362
* New parameter yield_parents on ``Inventory.iter_entries_by_dir`` which
2363
causes the parents of a selected id to be returned recursively, so all the
2364
paths from the root down to each element of selected_file_ids are
2365
returned. (Robert Collins)
2366
2367
* Knit joining has been enhanced to support plain to annotated conversion
2368
and annotated to plain conversion. (Ian Clatworthy)
2369
2370
* The CommitBuilder method ``record_entry_contents`` now returns summary
2371
information about the effect of the commit on the repository. This tuple
2372
contains an inventory delta item if the entry changed from the basis, and a
2373
boolean indicating whether a new file graph node was recorded.
2374
(Robert Collins)
2375
2376
* The python path used in the Makefile can now be overridden.
2377
(Andrew Bennetts, Ian Clatworthy)
2378
2379
TESTING:
2380
2381
* New transport implementation ``trace+`` which is useful for testing,
2382
logging activity taken to its _activity attribute. (Robert Collins)
2383
2384
* When running bzr commands within the test suite, internal exceptions are
2385
not caught and reported in the usual way, but rather allowed to propagate
2386
up and be visible to the test suite. A new API ``run_bzr_catch_user_errors``
2387
makes this behavior available to other users.
2388
(Martin Pool)
2389
2390
* New method ``TestCase.call_catch_warnings`` for testing methods that
2391
raises a Python warning. (Martin Pool)

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

bzr 0.90 2007-08-28
2744
-------------------
2745
2746
IMPROVEMENTS:
2747
2748
* Documentation is now organized into multiple directories with a level
2749
added for different languages or locales. Added the Mini Tutorial
2750
and Quick Start Summary (en) documents from the Wiki, improving the
2751
content and readability of the former. Formatted NEWS as Release Notes
2752
complete with a Table of Conents, one heading per release. Moved the
2753
Developer Guide into the main document catalog and provided a link
2754
from the developer document catalog back to the main one.
2755
(Ian Clatworthy, Sabin Iacob, Alexander Belchenko)
2756
2757
2758
API CHANGES:
2759
2760
* The static convenience method ``BzrDir.create_repository``
2761
is deprecated. Callers should instead create a ``BzrDir`` instance
2762
and call ``create_repository`` on that. (Martin Pool)
2763

2765
bzr 0.90rc1 2007-08-14
2766
----------------------
2767
2768
BUGFIXES:
2769
2770
* ``bzr init`` should connect to the remote location one time only. We
2771
have been connecting several times because we forget to pass around the
2772
Transport object. This modifies ``BzrDir.create_branch_convenience``,
2773
so that we can give it the Transport we already have.
2774
(John Arbash Meinel, Vincent Ladeuil, #111702)
2775
2776
* Get rid of sftp connection cache (get rid of the FTP one too).
2777
(Vincent Ladeuil, #43731)
2778
2779
* bzr branch {local|remote} remote don't try to create a working tree
2780
anymore.
2781
(Vincent Ladeuil, #112173)
2782
2783
* All identified multiple connections for a single bzr command have been
2784
fixed. See bzrlib/tests/commands directory.
2785
(Vincent Ladeuil)
2786
2787
* ``bzr rm`` now does not insist on ``--force`` to delete files that
2788
have been renamed but not otherwise modified. (Marius Kruger,
2789
#111664)
2790
2791
* ``bzr selftest --bench`` no longer emits deprecation warnings
2792
(Lukáš Lalinský)
2793
2794
* ``bzr status`` now honours FILE parameters for conflict lists
2795
(Aaron Bentley, #127606)
2796
2797
* ``bzr checkout`` now honours -r when reconstituting a working tree.
2798
It also honours -r 0. (Aaron Bentley, #127708)

2800
* ``bzr add *`` no more fails on Windows if working tree contains
2801
non-ascii file names. (Kuno Meyer, #127361)
2802
2803
* allow ``easy_install bzr`` runs without fatal errors.
2804
(Alexander Belchenko, #125521)
2805
2806
* Graph._filter_candidate_lca does not raise KeyError if a candidate
2807
is eliminated just before it would normally be examined. (Aaron Bentley)
2808
2809
* SMTP connection failures produce a nice message, not a traceback.
2810
(Aaron Bentley)
2811
2812
IMPROVEMENTS:
2813
2814
* Don't show "dots" progress indicators when run non-interactively, such
2815
as from cron. (Martin Pool)
2816
2817
* ``info`` now formats locations more nicely and lists "submit" and
2818
"public" branches (Aaron Bentley)
2819
2820
* New ``pack`` command that will trigger database compression within
2821
the repository (Robert Collins)
2822
2823
* Implement ``_KnitIndex._load_data`` in a pyrex extension. The pyrex
2824
version is approximately 2-3x faster at parsing a ``.kndx`` file.
2825
Which yields a measurable improvement for commands which have to
2826
read from the repository, such as a 1s => 0.75s improvement in
2827
``bzr diff`` when there are changes to be shown. (John Arbash Meinel)
2828
2829
* Merge is now faster. Depending on the scenario, it can be more than 2x
2830
faster. (Aaron Bentley)
2831
2832
* Give a clearer warning, and allow ``python setup.py install`` to
2833
succeed even if pyrex is not available.
2834
(John Arbash Meinel)
2835
2836
* ``DirState._read_dirblocks`` now has an optional Pyrex
2837
implementation. This improves the speed of any command that has to
2838
read the entire DirState. (``diff``, ``status``, etc, improve by
2839
about 10%).
2840
``bisect_dirblocks`` has also been improved, which helps all
2841
``_get_entry`` type calls (whenever we are searching for a
2842
particular entry in the in-memory DirState).
2843
(John Arbash Meinel)
2844
2845
* ``bzr pull`` and ``bzr push`` no longer do a complete walk of the
2846
branch revision history for ui display unless -v is supplied.
2847
(Robert Collins)
2848
2849
* ``bzr log -rA..B`` output shifted to the left margin if the log only
2850
contains merge revisions. (Kent Gibson)
2851
2852
* The ``plugins`` command is now public with improved help.
2853
(Ian Clatworthy)
2854
2855
* New bundle and merge directive formats are faster to generate, and
2856
2857
* Annotate merge now works when there are local changes. (Aaron Bentley)
2858
2859
* Commit now only shows the progress in terms of directories instead of
2860
entries. (Ian Clatworthy)
2861
2862
* Fix ``KnitRepository.get_revision_graph`` to not request the graph 2
2863
times. This makes ``get_revision_graph`` 2x faster. (John Arbash
2864
Meinel)
2865
2866
* Fix ``VersionedFile.get_graph()`` to avoid using
2867
``set.difference_update(other)``, which has bad scaling when
2868
``other`` is large. This improves ``VF.get_graph([version_id])`` for
2869
a 12.5k graph from 2.9s down to 200ms. (John Arbash Meinel)
2870
2871
* The ``--lsprof-file`` option now generates output for KCacheGrind if
2872
the file starts with ``callgrind.out``. This matches the default file
2873
filtering done by KCacheGrind's Open Dialog. (Ian Clatworthy)
2874
2875
* Fix ``bzr update`` to avoid an unnecessary
2876
``branch.get_master_branch`` call, which avoids 1 extra connection
2877
to the remote server. (Partial fix for #128076, John Arbash Meinel)
2878
2879
* Log errors from the smart server in the trace file, to make debugging
2880
test failures (and live failures!) easier. (Andrew Bennetts)
2881
2882
* The HTML version of the man page has been superceded by a more
2883
comprehensive manual called the Bazaar User Reference. This manual
2884
is completed generated from the online help topics. As part of this
2885
change, limited reStructuredText is now explicitly supported in help
2886
topics and command help with 'unnatural' markup being removed prior
2887
to display by the online help or inclusion in the man page.
2888
(Ian Clatworthy)
2889
2890
* HTML documentation now use files extension ``*.html``
2891
(Alexander Belchenko)
2892
2893
* The cache of ignore definitions is now cleared in WorkingTree.unlock()
2894
so that changes to .bzrignore aren't missed. (#129694, Daniel Watkins)
2895
2896
* ``bzr selftest --strict`` fails if there are any missing features or
2897
expected test failures. (Daniel Watkins, #111914)
2898
2899
* Link to registration survey added to README. (Ian Clatworthy)
2900
2901
* Windows standalone installer show link to registration survey
2902
when installation finished. (Alexander Belchenko)
2903
2904
LIBRARY API BREAKS:
2905
2906
* Deprecated dictionary ``bzrlib.option.SHORT_OPTIONS`` removed.
2907
Options are now required to provide a help string and it must
2908
comply with the style guide by being one or more sentences with an
2909
initial capital and final period. (Martin Pool)
2910
2911
* KnitIndex.get_parents now returns tuples. (Robert Collins)
2912
2913
* Ancient unused ``Repository.text_store`` attribute has been removed.
2914
(Robert Collins)
2915
2916
* The ``bzrlib.pack`` interface has changed to use tuples of bytestrings
2917
rather than just bytestrings, making it easier to represent multiple
2918
element names. As this interface was not used by any internal facilities
2919
since it was introduced in 0.18 no API compatibility is being preserved.
2920
The serialised form of these packs is identical with 0.18 when a single
2921
element tuple is in use. (Robert Collins)
2922
2923
INTERNALS:
2924
2925
* merge now uses ``iter_changes`` to calculate changes, which makes room for
2926
future performance increases. It is also more consistent with other
2927
operations that perform comparisons, and reduces reliance on
2928
Tree.inventory. (Aaron Bentley)
2929
2930
* Refactoring of transport classes connected to a remote server.
2931
ConnectedTransport is a new class that serves as a basis for all
2932
transports needing to connect to a remote server. transport.split_url
2933
have been deprecated, use the static method on the object instead. URL
2934
tests have been refactored too.
2935
(Vincent Ladeuil)
2936
2937
* Better connection sharing for ConnectedTransport objects.
2938
transport.get_transport() now accepts a 'possible_transports' parameter.
2939
If a newly requested transport can share a connection with one of the
2940
list, it will.
2941
(Vincent Ladeuil)
2942
2943
* Most functions now accept ``bzrlib.revision.NULL_REVISION`` to indicate
2944
the null revision, and consider using ``None`` for this purpose
2945
deprecated. (Aaron Bentley)
2946
2947
* New ``index`` module with abstract index functionality. This will be
2948
used during the planned changes in the repository layer. Currently the
2949
index layer provides a graph aware immutable index, a builder for the
2950
same index type to allow creating them, and finally a composer for
2951
such indices to allow the use of many indices in a single query. The
2952
index performance is not optimised, however the API is stable to allow
2953
development on top of the index. (Robert Collins)
2954
2955
* ``bzrlib.dirstate.cmp_by_dirs`` can be used to compare two paths by
2956
their directory sections. This is equivalent to comparing
2957
``path.split('/')``, only without having to split the paths.
2958
This has a Pyrex implementation available.
2959
(John Arbash Meinel)
2960
2961
* New transport decorator 'unlistable+' which disables the list_dir
2962
functionality for testing.
2963
2964
* Deprecated ``change_entry`` in transform.py. (Ian Clatworthy)
2965
2966
* RevisionTree.get_weave is now deprecated. Tree.plan_merge is now used
2967
for performing annotate-merge. (Aaron Bentley)
2968
2969
* New EmailMessage class to create email messages. (Adeodato Simó)
2970
2971
* Unused functions on the private interface KnitIndex have been removed.
2972
(Robert Collins)
2973
2974
* New ``knit.KnitGraphIndex`` which provides a ``KnitIndex`` layered on top
2975
of a ``index.GraphIndex``. (Robert Collins)
2976
2977
* New ``knit.KnitVersionedFile.iter_parents`` method that allows querying
2978
the parents of many knit nodes at once, reducing round trips to the
2979
underlying index. (Robert Collins)
2980
2981
* Graph now has an is_ancestor method, various bits use it.
2982
(Aaron Bentley)
2983
2984
* The ``-Dhpss`` flag now includes timing information. As well as
2985
logging when a new connection is opened. (John Arbash Meinel)
2986
2987
* ``bzrlib.pack.ContainerWriter`` now returns an offset, length tuple to
2988
callers when inserting data, allowing generation of readv style access
2989
during pack creation, without needing a separate pass across the output
2990
pack to gather such details. (Robert Collins)
2991
2992
* ``bzrlib.pack.make_readv_reader`` allows readv based access to pack
2993
files that are stored on a transport. (Robert Collins)
2994
2995
* New ``Repository.has_same_location`` method that reports if two
2996
repository objects refer to the same repository (although with some risk
2997
of false negatives). (Andrew Bennetts)
2998
2999
* InterTree.compare now passes require_versioned on correctly.
3000
(Marius Kruger)
3001
3002
* New methods on Repository - ``start_write_group``,
3003
``commit_write_group``, ``abort_write_group`` and ``is_in_write_group`` -
3004
which provide a clean hook point for transactional Repositories - ones
3005
where all the data for a fetch or commit needs to be made atomically
3006
available in one step. This allows the write lock to remain while making
3007
a series of data insertions. (e.g. data conversion). (Robert Collins)
3008
3009
* In ``bzrlib.knit`` the internal interface has been altered to use
3010
3-tuples (index, pos, length) rather than two-tuples (pos, length) to
3011
describe where data in a knit is, allowing knits to be split into
3012
many files. (Robert Collins)
3013
3014
* ``bzrlib.knit._KnitData`` split into cache management and physical access
3015
with two access classes - ``_PackAccess`` and ``_KnitAccess`` defined.
3016
The former provides access into a .pack file, and the latter provides the
3017
current production repository form of .knit files. (Robert Collins)
3018
3019
TESTING:
3020
3021
* Remove selftest ``--clean-output``, ``--numbered-dirs`` and
3022
``--keep-output`` options, which are obsolete now that tests
3023
are done within directories in $TMPDIR. (Martin Pool)
3024
3025
* The SSH_AUTH_SOCK environment variable is now reset to avoid
3026
interaction with any running ssh agents. (Jelmer Vernooij, #125955)
3027
3028
* run_bzr_subprocess handles parameters the same way as run_bzr:
3029
either a string or a list of strings should be passed as the first
3030
parameter. Varargs-style parameters are deprecated. (Aaron Bentley)

BUGFIXES:
3045
3046
* Do not suppress pipe errors, etc. in non-display commands
3047
(Alexander Belchenko, #87178)
3048
3049
* Display a useful error message when the user requests to annotate
3050
a file that is not present in the specified revision.
3051
(James Westby, #122656)
3052
3053
* Commands that use status flags now have a reference to 'help
3054
status-flags'. (Daniel Watkins, #113436)
3055
3056
* Work around python-2.4.1 inhability to correctly parse the
3057
authentication header.
3058
(Vincent Ladeuil, #121889)
3059
3060
* Use exact encoding for merge directives. (Adeodato Simó, #120591)
3061
3062
* Fix tempfile permissions error in smart server tar bundling under
3063
Windows. (Martin _, #119330)
3064
3065
* Fix detection of directory entries in the inventory. (James Westby)
3066
3067
* Fix handling of http code 400: Bad Request When issuing too many ranges.
3068
(Vincent Ladeuil, #115209)
3069
3070
* Issue a CONNECT request when connecting to an https server
3071
via a proxy to enable SSL tunneling.
3072
(Vincent Ladeuil, #120678)
3073
3074
* Fix ``bzr log -r`` to support selecting merge revisions, both
3075
individually and as part of revision ranges.
3076
(Kent Gibson, #4663)
3077
3078
* Don't leave cruft behind when failing to acquire a lockdir.
3079
(Martin Pool, #109169)
3080
3081
* Don't use the '-f' strace option during tests.
3082
(Vincent Ladeuil, #102019).
3083
3084
* Warn when setting ``push_location`` to a value that will be masked by
3085
locations.conf. (Aaron Bentley, #122286)
3086
3087
* Fix commit ordering in corner case (Aaron Bentley, #94975)
3088
3089
* Make annotate behave in a non-ASCII world (Adeodato Simó).
3090
3091
IMPROVEMENTS:
3092
3093
* The --lsprof-file option now dumps a text rendering of the profiling
3094
information if the filename ends in ".txt". It will also convert the
3095
profiling information to a format suitable for KCacheGrind if the
3096
output filename ends in ".callgrind". Fixes to the lsprofcalltree
3097
conversion process by Jean Paul Calderone and Itamar were also merged.
3098
See http://ddaa.net/blog/python/lsprof-calltree. (Ian Clatworthy)
3099
3100
* ``info`` now defaults to non-verbose mode, displaying only paths and
3101
abbreviated format info. ``info -v`` displays all the information
3102
formerly displayed by ``info``. (Aaron Bentley, Adeodato Simó)
3103
3104
* ``bzr missing`` now has better option names ``--this`` and ``--other``.
3105
(Elliot Murphy)
3106
3107
* The internal ``weave-list`` command has become ``versionedfile-list``,
3108
and now lists knits as well as weaves. (Aaron Bentley)
3109
3110
* Automatic merge base selection uses a faster algorithm that chooses
3111
better bases in criss-cross merge situations (Aaron Bentley)
3112
3113
* Progress reporting in ``commit`` has been improved. The various logical
3114
stages are now reported on as follows, namely:
3115
3116
* Collecting changes [Entry x/y] - Stage n/m
3117
* Saving data locally - Stage n/m
3118
* Uploading data to master branch - Stage n/m
3119
* Updating the working tree - Stage n/m
3120
* Running post commit hooks - Stage n/m
3121
3122
If there is no master branch, the 3rd stage is omitted and the total
3123
number of stages is adjusted accordingly.
3124
3125
Each hook that is run after commit is listed with a name (as hooks
3126
can be slow it is useful feedback).
3127
(Ian Clatworthy, Robert Collins)
3128
3129
* Various operations that are now faster due to avoiding unnecessary
3130
topological sorts. (Aaron Bentley)
3131
3132
* Make merge directives robust against broken bundles. (Aaron Bentley)
3133
3134
* The lsprof filename note is emitted via trace.note(), not standard
3135
output. (Aaron Bentley)
3136
3137
* ``bzrlib`` now exports explicit API compatibility information to assist
3138
library users and plugins. See the ``bzrlib.api`` module for details.
3139
(Robert Collins)
3140
3141
* Remove unnecessary lock probes when acquiring a lockdir.
3142
(Martin Pool)
3143
3144
* ``bzr --version`` now shows the location of the bzr log file, which
3145
is especially useful on Windows. (Martin Pool)
3146
3147
* -D now supports hooks to get debug tracing of hooks (though its currently
3148
minimal in nature). (Robert Collins)
3149
3150
* Long log format reports deltas on merge revisions.
3151
(John Arbash Meinel, Kent Gibson)
3152
3153
* Make initial push over ftp more resilient. (John Arbash Meinel)
3154
3155
* Print a summary of changes for update just like pull does.
3156
(Daniel Watkins, #113990)
3157
3158
* Add a -Dhpss option to trace smart protocol requests and responses.
3159
(Andrew Bennetts)
3160
3161
LIBRARY API BREAKS:
3162
3163
* Testing cleanups -
3164
``bzrlib.repository.RepositoryTestProviderAdapter`` has been moved
3165
to ``bzrlib.tests.repository_implementations``;
3166
``bzrlib.repository.InterRepositoryTestProviderAdapter`` has been moved
3167
to ``bzrlib.tests.interrepository_implementations``;
3168
``bzrlib.transport.TransportTestProviderAdapter`` has moved to
3169
``bzrlib.tests.test_transport_implementations``.
3170
``bzrlib.branch.BranchTestProviderAdapter`` has moved to
3171
``bzrlib.tests.branch_implementations``.
3172
``bzrlib.bzrdir.BzrDirTestProviderAdapter`` has moved to
3173
``bzrlib.tests.bzrdir_implementations``.
3174
``bzrlib.versionedfile.InterVersionedFileTestProviderAdapter`` has moved
3175
to ``bzrlib.tests.interversionedfile_implementations``.
3176
``bzrlib.store.revision.RevisionStoreTestProviderAdapter`` has moved to
3177
``bzrlib.tests.revisionstore_implementations``.
3178
``bzrlib.workingtree.WorkingTreeTestProviderAdapter`` has moved to
3179
``bzrlib.tests.workingtree_implementations``.
3180
These changes are an API break in the testing infrastructure only.
3181
(Robert Collins)
3182
3183
* Relocate TestCaseWithRepository to be more central. (Robert Collins)
3184
3185
* ``bzrlib.add.smart_add_tree`` will no longer perform glob expansion on
3186
win32. Callers of the function should do this and use the new
3187
``MutableTree.smart_add`` method instead. (Robert Collins)
3188
3189
* ``bzrlib.add.glob_expand_for_win32`` is now
3190
``bzrlib.win32utils.glob_expand``. (Robert Collins)
3191
3192
* ``bzrlib.add.FastPath`` is now private and moved to
3193
``bzrlib.mutabletree._FastPath``. (Robert Collins, Martin Pool)
3194
3195
* ``LockDir.wait`` removed. (Martin Pool)
3196
3197
* The ``SmartServer`` hooks API has changed for the ``server_started`` and
3198
``server_stopped`` hooks. The first parameter is now an iterable of
3199
backing URLs rather than a single URL. This is to reflect that many
3200
URLs may map to the external URL of the server. E.g. the server interally
3201
may have a chrooted URL but also the local file:// URL will be at the
3202
same location. (Robert Collins)
3203
3204
INTERNALS:
3205
3206
* New SMTPConnection class to unify email handling. (Adeodato Simó)
3207
3208
* Fix documentation of BzrError. (Adeodato Simó)
3209
3210
* Make BzrBadParameter an internal error. (Adeodato Simó)
3211
3212
* Remove use of 'assert False' to raise an exception unconditionally.
3213
(Martin Pool)
3214
3215
* Give a cleaner error when failing to decode knit index entry.
3216
(Martin Pool)
3217
3218
* TreeConfig would mistakenly search the top level when asked for options
3219
from a section. It now respects the section argument and only
3220
searches the specified section. (James Westby)
3221
3222
* Improve ``make api-docs`` output. (John Arbash Meinel)
3223
3224
* Use os.lstat rather than os.stat for osutils.make_readonly and
3225
osutils.make_writeable. This makes the difftools plugin more
3226
robust when dangling symlinks are found. (Elliot Murphy)
3227
3228
* New ``-Dlock`` option to log (to ~/.bzr.log) information on when
3229
lockdirs are taken or released. (Martin Pool)
3230
3231
* ``bzrlib`` Hooks are now nameable using ``Hooks.name_hook``. This
3232
allows a nicer UI when hooks are running as the current hook can
3233
be displayed. (Robert Collins)
3234
3235
* ``Transport.get`` has had its interface made more clear for ease of use.
3236
Retrieval of a directory must now fail with either 'PathError' at open
3237
time, or raise 'ReadError' on a read. (Robert Collins)
3238
3239
* New method ``_maybe_expand_globs`` on the ``Command`` class for
3240
dealing with unexpanded glob lists - e.g. on the win32 platform. This
3241
was moved from ``bzrlib.add._prepare_file_list``. (Robert Collins)
3242
3243
* ``bzrlib.add.smart_add`` and ``bzrlib.add.smart_add_tree`` are now
3244
deprecated in favour of ``MutableTree.smart_add``. (Robert Collins,
3245
Martin Pool)
3246
3247
* New method ``external_url`` on Transport for obtaining the url to
3248
hand to external processes. (Robert Collins)
3249
3250
* Teach windows installers to build pyrex/C extensions.
3251
(Alexander Belchenko)
3252
3253
TESTING:
3254
3255
* Removed the ``--keep-output`` option from selftest and clean up test
3256
directories as they're used. This reduces the IO load from
3257
running the test suite and cuts the time by about half.
3258
(Andrew Bennetts, Martin Pool)
3259
3260
* Add scenarios as a public attribute on the TestAdapter classes to allow
3261
modification of the generated scenarios before adaption and easier
3262
testing. (Robert Collins)
3263
3264
* New testing support class ``TestScenarioApplier`` which multiplies
3265
out a single teste by a list of supplied scenarios. (RobertCollins)
3266
3267
* Setting ``repository_to_test_repository`` on a repository_implementations
3268
test will cause it to be called during repository creation, allowing the
3269
testing of repository classes which are not based around the Format
3270
concept. For example a repository adapter can be tested in this manner,
3271
by altering the repository scenarios to include a scenario that sets this
3272
attribute during the test parameterisation in
3273
``bzrlib.tests.repository.repository_implementations``. (Robert Collins)
3274
3275
* Clean up many of the APIs for blackbox testing of Bazaar. The standard
3276
interface is now self.run_bzr. The command to run can be passed as
3277
either a list of parameters, a string containing the command line, or
3278
(deprecated) varargs parameters. (Martin Pool)
3279
3280
* The base TestCase now isolates tests from -D parameters by clearing
3281
``debug.debug_flags`` and restores it afterwards. (Robert Collins)
3282
3283
* Add a relpath parameter to get_transport methods in test framework to
3284
avoid useless cloning.

3303
NOTES WHEN UPGRADING:
3304
3305
* The kind() and is_executable() APIs on the WorkingTree interface no
3306
longer implicitly (read) locks and unlocks the tree. This *might*
3307
impact some plug-ins and tools using this part of the API. If you find
3308
an issue that may be caused by this change, please let us know,
3309
particularly the plug-in/tool maintainer. If encountered, the API
3310
fix is to surround kind() and is_executable() calls with lock_read()
3311
and unlock() like so::
3312
3313
work_tree.lock_read()
3314
try:
3315
kind = work_tree.kind(...)
3316
finally:
3317
work_tree.unlock()
3318
3319
INTERNALS:
3320
* Rework of LogFormatter API to provide beginning/end of log hooks and to
3321
encapsulate the details of the revision to be logged in a LogRevision
3322
object.
3323
In long log formats, merge revision ids are only shown when --show-ids
3324
is specified, and are labelled "revision-id:", as per mainline
3325
revisions, instead of "merged:". (Kent Gibson)
3326
3327
* New ``BranchBuilder`` API which allows the construction of particular
3328
histories quickly. Useful for testing and potentially other applications
3329
too. (Robert Collins)
3330
3331
IMPROVEMENTS:
3332
3333
* There are two new help topics, working-trees and repositories that
3334
attempt to explain these concepts. (James Westby, John Arbash Meinel,
3335
Aaron Bentley)
3336
3337
* Added ``bzr log --limit`` to report a limited number of revisions.
3338
(Kent Gibson, #3659)
3339
3340
* Revert does not try to preserve file contents that were originally
3341
produced by reverting to a historical revision. (Aaron Bentley)
3342
3343
* ``bzr log --short`` now includes ``[merge]`` for revisions which
3344
have more than one parent. This is a small improvement to help
3345
understanding what changes have occurred
3346
(John Arbash Meinel, #83887)
3347
3348
* TreeTransform avoids many renames when contructing large trees,
3349
improving speed. 3.25x speedups have been observed for construction of
3350
kernel-sized-trees, and checkouts are 1.28x faster. (Aaron Bentley)
3351
3352
* Commit on large trees is now faster. In my environment, a commit of
3353
a small change to the Mozilla tree (55k files) has dropped from
3354
66 seconds to 32 seconds. For a small tree of 600 files, commit of a
3355
small change is 33% faster. (Ian Clatworthy)
3356
3357
* New --create-prefix option to bzr init, like for push. (Daniel Watkins,
3358
#56322)
3359
3360
BUGFIXES:
3361
3362
* ``bzr push`` should only connect to the remote location one time.
3363
We have been connecting 3 times because we forget to pass around
3364
the Transport object. This adds ``BzrDir.clone_on_transport()``, so
3365
that we can pass in the Transport that we already have.
3366
(John Arbash Meinel, #75721)
3367
3368
* ``DirState.set_state_from_inventory()`` needs to properly order
3369
based on split paths, not just string paths.
3370
(John Arbash Meinel, #115947)
3371
3372
* Let TestUIFactoy encode the password prompt with its own stdout.
3373
(Vincent Ladeuil, #110204)
3374
3375
* pycurl should take use the range header that takes the range hint
3376
into account.
3377
(Vincent Ladeuil, #112719)
3378
3379
* WorkingTree4.get_file_sha1 no longer raises an exception when invoked
3380
on a missing file. (Aaron Bentley, #118186)
3381
3382
* WorkingTree.remove works correctly with tree references, and when pwd is
3383
not the tree root. (Aaron Bentley)
3384
3385
* Merge no longer fails when a file is renamed in one tree and deleted
3386
in the other. (Aaron Bentley, #110279)
3387
3388
* ``revision-info`` now accepts dotted revnos, doesn't require a tree,
3389
and defaults to the last revision (Matthew Fuller, #90048)
3390
3391
* Tests no longer fail when BZR_REMOTE_PATH is set in the environment.
3392
(Daniel Watkins, #111958)
3393
3394
* ``bzr branch -r revid:foo`` can be used to branch any revision in
3395
your repository. (Previously Branch6 only supported revisions in your
3396
mainline). (John Arbash Meinel, #115343)

BUGFIXES:
3402
3403
* Handle when you have 2 directories with similar names, but one has a
3404
hyphen. (``'abc'`` versus ``'abc-2'``). The WT4._iter_changes
3405
iterator was using direct comparison and ``'abc/a'`` sorts after
3406
``'abc-2'``, but ``('abc', 'a')`` sorts before ``('abc-2',)``.
3407
(John Arbash Meinel, #111227)
3408
3409
* Handle when someone renames a file on disk without telling bzr.
3410
Previously we would report the first file as missing, but not show
3411
the new unknown file. (John Arbash Meinel, #111288)
3412
3413
* Avoid error when running hooks after pulling into or pushing from
3414
a branch bound to a smartserver branch. (Martin Pool, #111968)
3415
3416
IMPROVEMENTS:
3417
3418
* Move developer documentation to doc/developers/. This reduces clutter in
3419
the root of the source tree and allows HACKING to be split into multiple
3420
files. (Robert Collins, Alexander Belchenko)
3421
3422
* Clean up the ``WorkingTree4._iter_changes()`` internal loops as well as
3423
``DirState.update_entry()``. This optimizes the core logic for ``bzr
3424
diff`` and ``bzr status`` significantly improving the speed of
3425
both. (John Arbash Meinel)

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

* Also handle when you rename a file and create a file where it used

to be. (John Arbash Meinel, #110256)
3446
3447
* ``WorkingTree4._iter_changes`` should not descend into unversioned
3448
directories. (John Arbash Meinel, #110399)

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

* Typo in the help for ``register-branch`` fixed. (Robert Collins, #96770)
3698
3699
* "dirstate" and "dirstate-tags" formats now produce branches compatible
3700
with old versions of bzr. (Aaron Bentley, #107168))
3701
3702
* Handle moving a directory when children have been added, removed,
3703
and renamed. (John Arbash Meinel, #105479)
3704
3705
* Don't preventively use basic authentication for proxy before receiving a
3706
407 error. Otherwise people willing to use other authentication schemes
3707
may expose their password in the clear (or nearly). This add one
3708
roundtrip in case basic authentication should be used, but plug the
3709
security hole.
3710
(Vincent Ladeuil)
3711
3712
* Handle http and proxy digest authentication.
3713
(Vincent Ladeuil, #94034).
3714
3715
TESTING:
3716
3717
* Added ``bzrlib.strace.strace`` which will strace a single callable and
3718
return a StraceResult object which contains just the syscalls involved
3719
in running it. (Robert Collins)
3720
3721
* New test method ``reduceLockdirTimeout`` to drop the default (ui-centric)
3722
default time down to one suitable for tests. (Andrew Bennetts)
3723
3724
* Add new ``vfs_transport_factory`` attribute on tests which provides the
3725
common vfs backing for both the readonly and readwrite transports.
3726
This allows the RemoteObject tests to back onto local disk or memory,
3727
and use the existing ``transport_server`` attribute all tests know about
3728
to be the smart server transport. This in turn allows tests to
3729
differentiate between 'transport to access the branch', and
3730
'transport which is a VFS' - which matters in Remote* tests.
3731
(Robert Collins, Andrew Bennetts)
3732
3733
* The ``make_branch_and_tree`` method for tests will now create a
3734
lightweight checkout for the tree if the ``vfs_transport_factory`` is not
3735
a LocalURLServer. (Robert Collins, Andrew Bennetts)
3736
3737
* Branch implementation tests have been audited to ensure that all urls
3738
passed to Branch APIs use proper urls, except when local-disk paths
3739
are intended. This is so that tests correctly access the test transport
3740
which is often not equivalent to local disk in Remote* tests. As part
3741
of this many tests were adjusted to remove dependencies on local disk
3742
access.
3743
(Robert Collins, Andrew Bennetts)
3744
3745
* Mark bzrlib.tests and bzrlib.tests.TestUtil as providing assertFOO helper
3746
functions by adding a ``__unittest`` global attribute. (Robert Collins,
3747
Andrew Bennetts, Martin Pool, Jonathan Lange)
3748
3749
* Refactored proxy and authentication handling to simplify the
3750
implementation of new auth schemes for both http and proxy.

-----------------------
3767
3768
CHANGES:
3769
3770
* A warning is now displayed when opening working trees in older
3771
formats, to encourage people to upgrade to WorkingTreeFormat4.
3772
(Martin Pool)
3773
3774
IMPROVEMENTS:
3775
3776
* HTTP redirections are now taken into account when a branch (or a
3777
bundle) is accessed for the first time. A message is issued at each
3778
redirection to inform the user. In the past, http redirections were
3779
silently followed for each request which significantly degraded the
3780
performances. The http redirections are not followed anymore by
3781
default, instead a RedirectRequested exception is raised. For bzrlib
3782
users needing to follow http redirections anyway,
3783
``bzrlib.transport.do_catching_redirections`` provide an easy transition
3784
path. (vila)
3785
3786
INTERNALS:
3787
3788
* Added ``ReadLock.temporary_write_lock()`` to allow upgrading an OS read
3789
lock to an OS write lock. Linux can do this without unlocking, Win32
3790
needs to unlock in between. (John Arbash Meinel)
3791
3792
* New parameter ``recommend_upgrade`` to ``BzrDir.open_workingtree``
3793
to silence (when false) warnings about opening old formats.
3794
(Martin Pool)
3795
3796
* Fix minor performance regression with bzr-0.15 on pre-dirstate
3797
trees. (We were reading the working inventory too many times).
3798
(John Arbash Meinel)
3799
3800
* Remove ``Branch.get_transaction()`` in favour of a simple cache of
3801
``revision_history``. Branch subclasses should override
3802
``_gen_revision_history`` rather than ``revision_history`` to make use of
3803
this cache, and call ``_clear_revision_history_cache`` and
3804
``_cache_revision_history`` at appropriate times. (Andrew Bennetts)
3805
3806
BUGFIXES:
3807
3808
* Take ``smtp_server`` from user config into account.
3809
(vila, #92195)
3810
3811
* Restore Unicode filename handling for versioned and unversioned files.
3812
(John Arbash Meinel, #92608)
3813
3814
* Don't fail during ``bzr commit`` if a file is marked removed, and
3815
the containing directory is auto-removed. (John Arbash Meinel, #93681)
3816
3817
* ``bzr status FILENAME`` failed on Windows because of an uncommon
3818
errno. (``ERROR_DIRECTORY == 267 != ENOTDIR``).
3819
(Wouter van Heyst, John Arbash Meinel, #90819)
3820
3821
* ``bzr checkout source`` should create a local branch in the same
3822
format as source. (John Arbash Meinel, #93854)
3823
3824
* ``bzr commit`` with a kind change was failing to update the
3825
last-changed-revision for directories. The
3826
InventoryDirectory._unchanged only looked at the ``parent_id`` and name,
3827
ignoring the fact that the kind could have changed, too.
3828
(John Arbash Meinel, #90111)
3829
3830
* ``bzr mv dir/subdir other`` was incorrectly updating files inside
3831
the directory. So that there was a chance it would break commit,
3832
etc. (John Arbash Meinel, #94037)
3833
3834
* Correctly handles mutiple permanent http redirections.

bzr 0.15rc2 2007-03-14
3838
-----------------------
3839
3840
NOTES WHEN UPGRADING:
3841
3842
* Release 0.15rc2 of bzr changes the ``bzr init-repo`` command to
3843
default to ``--trees`` instead of ``--no-trees``.
3844
Existing shared repositories are not affected.
3845
3846
IMPROVEMENTS:
3847
3848
* New ``merge-directive`` command to generate machine- and human-readable
3849
merge requests. (Aaron Bentley)
3850
3851
* New ``submit:`` revision specifier makes it easy to diff against the
3852
common ancestor with the submit location (Aaron Bentley)
3853
3854
* Added support for Putty's SSH implementation. (Dmitry Vasiliev)
3855
3856
* Added ``bzr status --versioned`` to report only versioned files,
3857
not unknowns. (Kent Gibson)
3858
3859
* Merge now autodetects the correct line-ending style for its conflict
3860
markers. (Aaron Bentley)
3861
3862
INTERNALS:
3863
3864
* Refactored SSH vendor registration into SSHVendorManager class.
3865
(Dmitry Vasiliev)
3866
3867
BUGFIXES:
3868
3869
* New ``--numbered-dirs`` option to ``bzr selftest`` to use
3870
numbered dirs for TestCaseInTempDir. This is default behavior
3871
on Windows. Anyone can force named dirs on Windows
3872
with ``--no-numbered-dirs``. (Alexander Belchenko)
3873
3874
* Fix ``RevisionSpec_revid`` to handle the Unicode strings passed in
3875
from the command line. (Marien Zwart, #90501)
3876
3877
* Fix ``TreeTransform._iter_changes`` when both the source and
3878
destination are missing. (Aaron Bentley, #88842)
3879
3880
* Fix commit of merges with symlinks in dirstate trees.
3881
(Marien Zwart)
3882
3883
* Switch the ``bzr init-repo`` default from --no-trees to --trees.
3884
(Wouter van Heyst, #53483)

3887
bzr 0.15rc1 2007-03-07
3888
-----------------------
3889
3890
SURPRISES:
3891
3892
* The default disk format has changed. Please run 'bzr upgrade' in your
3893
working trees to upgrade. This new default is compatible for network
3894
operations, but not for local operations. That is, if you have two
3895
versions of bzr installed locally, after upgrading you can only use the
3896
bzr 0.15 version. This new default does not enable tags or nested-trees
3897
as they are incompatible with bzr versions before 0.15 over the network.
3898
3899
* For users of bzrlib: Two major changes have been made to the working tree
3900
api in bzrlib. The first is that many methods and attributes, including
3901
the inventory attribute, are no longer valid for use until one of
3902
``lock_read``/``lock_write``/``lock_tree_write`` has been called,
3903
and become invalid again after unlock is called. This has been done
3904
to improve performance and correctness as part of the dirstate
3905
development.
3906
(Robert Collins, John A Meinel, Martin Pool, and others).
3907
3908
* For users of bzrlib: The attribute 'tree.inventory' should be considered
3909
readonly. Previously it was possible to directly alter this attribute, or
3910
its contents, and have the tree notice this. This has been made
3911
unsupported - it may work in some tree formats, but in the newer dirstate
3912
format such actions will have no effect and will be ignored, or even
3913
cause assertions. All operations possible can still be carried out by a
3914
combination of the tree API, and the bzrlib.transform API. (Robert
3915
Collins, John A Meinel, Martin Pool, and others).
3916
3917
IMPROVEMENTS:
3918
3919
* Support for OS Windows 98. Also .bzr.log on any windows system
3920
saved in My Documents folder. (Alexander Belchenko)
3921
3922
* ``bzr mv`` enhanced to support already moved files.
3923
In the past the mv command would have failed if the source file doesn't
3924
exist. In this situation ``bzr mv`` would now detect that the file has
3925
already moved and update the repository accordingly, if the target file
3926
does exist.
3927
A new option ``--after`` has been added so that if two files already
3928
exist, you could notify Bazaar that you have moved a (versioned) file
3929
and replaced it with another. Thus in this case ``bzr move --after``
3930
will only update the Bazaar identifier.
3931
(Steffen Eichenberg, Marius Kruger)
3932
3933
* ``ls`` now works on treeless branches and remote branches.
3934
(Aaron Bentley)
3935
3936
* ``bzr help global-options`` describes the global options.
3937
(Aaron Bentley)
3938
3939
* ``bzr pull --overwrite`` will now correctly overwrite checkouts.
3940
(Robert Collins)
3941
3942
* Files are now allowed to change kind (e.g. from file to symlink).
3943
Supported by ``commit``, ``revert`` and ``status``
3944
(Aaron Bentley)
3945
3946
* ``inventory`` and ``unknowns`` hidden in favour of ``ls``
3947
(Aaron Bentley)
3948
3949
* ``bzr help checkouts`` descibes what checkouts are and some possible
3950
uses of them. (James Westby, Aaron Bentley)
3951
3952
* A new ``-d`` option to push, pull and merge overrides the default
3953
directory. (Martin Pool)
3954
3955
* Branch format 6: smaller, and potentially faster than format 5. Supports
3956
``append_history_only`` mode, where the log view and revnos do not change,
3957
except by being added to. Stores policy settings in
3958
".bzr/branch/branch.conf".
3959
3960
* ``append_only`` branches: Format 6 branches may be configured so that log
3961
view and revnos are always consistent. Either create the branch using
3962
"bzr init --append-revisions-only" or edit the config file as descriped
3963
in docs/configuration.txt.
3964
3965
* rebind: Format 6 branches retain the last-used bind location, so if you
3966
"bzr unbind", you can "bzr bind" to bind to the previously-selected
3967
bind location.
3968
3969
* Builtin tags support, created and deleted by the ``tag`` command and
3970
stored in the branch. Tags can be accessed with the revisionspec
3971
``-rtag:``, and listed with ``bzr tags``. Tags are not versioned
3972
at present. Tags require a network incompatible upgrade. To perform this
3973
upgrade, run ``bzr upgrade --dirstate-tags`` in your branch and
3974
repositories. (Martin Pool)
3975
3976
* The ``bzr://`` transport now has a well-known port number, 4155,
3977
which it will use by default. (Andrew Bennetts, Martin Pool)
3978
3979
* Bazaar now looks for user-installed plugins before looking for site-wide
3980
plugins. (Jonathan Lange)
3981
3982
* ``bzr resolve`` now detects and marks resolved text conflicts.
3983
(Aaron Bentley)
3984
3985
INTERNALS:
3986
3987
* Internally revision ids and file ids are now passed around as utf-8
3988
bytestrings, rather than treating them as Unicode strings. This has
3989
performance benefits for Knits, since we no longer need to decode the
3990
revision id for each line of content, nor for each entry in the index.
3991
This will also help with the future dirstate format.
3992
(John Arbash Meinel)
3993
3994
* Reserved ids (any revision-id ending in a colon) are rejected by
3995
versionedfiles, repositories, branches, and working trees
3996
(Aaron Bentley)
3997
3998
* Minor performance improvement by not creating a ProgressBar for
3999
every KnitIndex we create. (about 90ms for a bzr.dev tree)
4000
(John Arbash Meinel)
4001
4002
* New easier to use Branch hooks facility. There are five initial hooks,
4003
all documented in bzrlib.branch.BranchHooks.__init__ - ``'set_rh'``,
4004
``'post_push'``, ``'post_pull'``, ``'post_commit'``,
4005
``'post_uncommit'``. These hooks fire after the matching operation
4006
on a branch has taken place, and were originally added for the
4007
branchrss plugin. (Robert Collins)
4008
4009
* New method ``Branch.push()`` which should be used when pushing from a
4010
branch as it makes performance and policy decisions to match the UI
4011
level command ``push``. (Robert Collins).
4012
4013
* Add a new method ``Tree.revision_tree`` which allows access to cached
4014
trees for arbitrary revisions. This allows the in development dirstate
4015
tree format to provide access to the callers to cached copies of
4016
inventory data which are cheaper to access than inventories from the
4017
repository.
4018
(Robert Collins, Martin Pool)
4019
4020
* New ``Branch.last_revision_info`` method, this is being done to allow
4021
optimization of requests for both the number of revisions and the last
4022
revision of a branch with smartservers and potentially future branch
4023
formats. (Wouter van Heyst, Robert Collins)
4024
4025
* Allow ``'import bzrlib.plugins.NAME'`` to work when the plugin NAME has not
4026
yet been loaded by ``load_plugins()``. This allows plugins to depend on each
4027
other for code reuse without requiring users to perform file-renaming
4028
gymnastics. (Robert Collins)
4029
4030
* New Repository method ``'gather_stats'`` for statistic data collection.
4031
This is expected to grow to cover a number of related uses mainly
4032
related to bzr info. (Robert Collins)
4033
4034
* Log formatters are now managed with a registry.
4035
``log.register_formatter`` continues to work, but callers accessing
4036
the FORMATTERS dictionary directly will not.
4037
4038
* Allow a start message to be passed to the ``edit_commit_message``
4039
function. This will be placed in the message offered to the user
4040
for editing above the separator. It allows a template commit message
4041
to be used more easily. (James Westby)
4042
4043
* ``GPGStrategy.sign()`` will now raise ``BzrBadParameterUnicode`` if
4044
you pass a Unicode string rather than an 8-bit string. Callers need
4045
to be updated to encode first. (John Arbash Meinel)
4046
4047
* Branch.push, pull, merge now return Result objects with information
4048
about what happened, rather than a scattering of various methods. These
4049
are also passed to the post hooks. (Martin Pool)
4050
4051
* File formats and architecture is in place for managing a forest of trees
4052
in bzr, and splitting up existing trees into smaller subtrees, and
4053
finally joining trees to make a larger tree. This is the first iteration
4054
of this support, and the user-facing aspects still require substantial
4055
work. If you wish to experiment with it, use ``bzr upgrade
4056
--dirstate-with-subtree`` in your working trees and repositories.
4057
You can use the hidden commands ``split`` and ``join`` and to create
4058
and manipulate nested trees, but please consider using the nested-trees
4059
branch, which contains substantial UI improvements, instead.
4060
http://code.aaronbentley.com/bzr/bzrrepo/nested-trees/
4061
(Aaron Bentley, Martin Pool, Robert Collins).
4062
4063
BUGFIXES:
4064
4065
* ``bzr annotate`` now uses dotted revnos from the viewpoint of the
4066
branch, rather than the last changed revision of the file.
4067
(John Arbash Meinel, #82158)
4068
4069
* Lock operations no longer hang if they encounter a permission problem.
4070
(Aaron Bentley)
4071
4072
* ``bzr push`` can resume a push that was canceled before it finished.
4073
Also, it can push even if the target directory exists if you supply
4074
the ``--use-existing-dir`` flag.
4075
(John Arbash Meinel, #30576, #45504)
4076
4077
* Fix http proxy authentication when user and an optional
4078
password appears in the ``*_proxy`` vars. (Vincent Ladeuil,
4079
#83954).
4080
4081
* ``bzr log branch/file`` works for local treeless branches
4082
(Aaron Bentley, #84247)
4083
4084
* Fix problem with UNC paths on Windows 98. (Alexander Belchenko, #84728)
4085
4086
* Searching location of CA bundle for PyCurl in env variable
4087
(``CURL_CA_BUNDLE``), and on win32 along the PATH.
4088
(Alexander Belchenko, #82086)
4089
4090
* ``bzr init`` works with unicode argument LOCATION.
4091
(Alexander Belchenko, #85599)
4092
4093
* Raise ``DependencyNotPresent`` if pycurl do not support https.
4094
(Vincent Ladeuil, #85305)
4095
4096
* Invalid proxy env variables should not cause a traceback.
4097
(Vincent Ladeuil, #87765)
4098
4099
* Ignore patterns normalised to use '/' path separator.
4100
(Kent Gibson, #86451)
4101
4102
* bzr rocks. It sure does! Fix case. (Vincent Ladeuil, #78026)
4103
4104
* Fix bzrtools shelve command for removed lines beginning with "--"
4105
(Johan Dahlberg, #75577)
4106
4107
TESTING:
4108
4109
* New ``--first`` option to ``bzr selftest`` to run specified tests
4110
before the rest of the suite. (Martin Pool)

4118
* ``bzr help global-options`` describes the global options. (Aaron Bentley)
4119
4120
BUG FIXES:
4121
4122
* Skip documentation generation tests if the tools to do so are not
4123
available. Fixes running selftest for installled copies of bzr.
4124
(John Arbash Meinel, #80330)
4125
4126
* Fix the code that discovers whether bzr is being run from it's
4127
working tree to handle the case when it isn't but the directory
4128
it is in is below a repository. (James Westby, #77306)

bzr 0.14rc1 2007-01-16
4132
-----------------------
4133
4134
IMPROVEMENTS:
4135
4136
* New connection: ``bzr+http://`` which supports tunnelling the smart
4137
protocol over an HTTP connection. If writing is enabled on the bzr
4138
server, then you can write over the http connection.
4139
(Andrew Bennetts, John Arbash Meinel)
4140
4141
* Aliases now support quotation marks, so they can contain whitespace
4142
(Marius Kruger)
4143
4144
* PyCurlTransport now use a single curl object. By specifying explicitly
4145
the 'Range' header, we avoid the need to use two different curl objects
4146
(and two connections to the same server). (Vincent Ladeuil)
4147
4148
* ``bzr commit`` does not prompt for a message until it is very likely to
4149
succeed. (Aaron Bentley)
4150
4151
* ``bzr conflicts`` now takes --text to list pathnames of text conflicts
4152
(Aaron Bentley)
4153
4154
* Fix ``iter_lines_added_or_present_in_versions`` to use a set instead
4155
of a list while checking if a revision id was requested. Takes 10s
4156
off of the ``fileids_affected_by_revision_ids`` time, which is 10s
4157
of the ``bzr branch`` time. Also improve ``fileids_...`` time by
4158
filtering lines with a regex rather than multiple ``str.find()``
4159
calls. (saves another 300ms) (John Arbash Meinel)
4160
4161
* Policy can be set for each configuration key. This allows keys to be
4162
inherited properly across configuration entries. For example, this
4163
should enable you to do::
4164
4165
[/home/user/project]
4166
push_location = sftp://host/srv/project/
4167
push_location:policy = appendpath
4168
4169
And then a branch like ``/home/user/project/mybranch`` should get an
4170
automatic push location of ``sftp://host/srv/project/mybranch``.
4171
(James Henstridge)
4172
4173
* Added ``bzr status --short`` to make status report svn style flags
4174
for each file. For example::
4175
4176
$ bzr status --short
4177
A foo
4178
A bar
4179
D baz
4180
? wooley
4181
4182
* 'bzr selftest --clean-output' allows easily clean temporary tests
4183
directories without running tests. (Alexander Belchenko)
4184
4185
* ``bzr help hidden-commands`` lists all hidden commands. (Aaron Bentley)
4186
4187
* ``bzr merge`` now has an option ``--pull`` to fall back to pull if
4188
local is fully merged into remote. (Jan Hudec)
4189
4190
* ``bzr help formats`` describes available directory formats. (Aaron Bentley)
4191
4192
INTERNALS:
4193
4194
* A few tweaks directly to ``fileids_affected_by_revision_ids`` to
4195
help speed up processing, as well allowing to extract unannotated
4196
lines. Between the two ``fileids_affected_by_revision_ids`` is
4197
improved by approx 10%. (John Arbash Meinel)
4198
4199
* Change Revision serialization to only write out millisecond
4200
resolution. Rather than expecting floating point serialization to
4201
preserve more resolution than we need. (Henri Weichers, Martin Pool)
4202
4203
* Test suite ends cleanly on Windows. (Vincent Ladeuil)
4204
4205
* When ``encoding_type`` attribute of class Command is equal to 'exact',
4206
force sys.stdout to be a binary stream on Windows, and therefore
4207
keep exact line-endings (without LF -> CRLF conversion).
4208
(Alexander Belchenko)
4209
4210
* Single-letter short options are no longer globally declared. (Martin
4211
Pool)
4212
4213
* Before using detected user/terminal encoding bzr should check
4214
that Python has corresponding codec. (Alexander Belchenko)
4215
4216
* Formats for end-user selection are provided via a FormatRegistry (Aaron Bentley)
4217
4218
BUG FIXES:
4219
4220
* ``bzr missing --verbose`` was showing adds/removals in the wrong
4221
direction. (John Arbash Meinel)
4222
4223
* ``bzr annotate`` now defaults to showing dotted revnos for merged
4224
revisions. It cuts them off at a depth of 12 characters, but you can
4225
supply ``--long`` to see the full number. You can also use
4226
``--show-ids`` to display the original revision ids, rather than
4227
revision numbers and committer names. (John Arbash Meinel, #75637)
4228
4229
* bzr now supports Win32 UNC path (e.g. ``\HOST\path``.
4230
(Alexander Belchenko, #57869)
4231
4232
* Win32-specific: output of cat, bundle and diff commands don't mangle
4233
line-endings (Alexander Belchenko, #55276)
4234
4235
* Replace broken fnmatch based ignore pattern matching with custom pattern
4236
matcher.
4237
(Kent Gibson, Jan Hudec #57637)
4238
4239
* pycurl and urllib can detect short reads at different places. Update
4240
the test suite to test more cases. Also detect http error code 416
4241
which was raised for that specific bug. Also enhance the urllib
4242
robustness by detecting invalid ranges (and pycurl's one by detecting
4243
short reads during the initial GET). (Vincent Ladeuil, #73948)
4244
4245
* The urllib connection sharing interacts badly with urllib2
4246
proxy setting (the connections didn't go thru the proxy
4247
anymore). Defining a proper ProxyHandler solves the
4248
problem. (Vincent Ladeuil, #74759)
4249
4250
* Use urlutils to generate relative URLs, not osutils
4251
(Aaron Bentley, #76229)
4252
4253
* ``bzr status`` in a readonly directory should work without giving
4254
lots of errors. (John Arbash Meinel, #76299)
4255
4256
* Mention the revisionspec topic for the revision option help.
4257
(Wouter van Heyst, #31663)
4258
4259
* Allow plugins import from zip archives.

4271
IMPROVEMENTS:
4272
4273
* New command ``bzr remove-tree`` allows the removal of the working
4274
tree from a branch.
4275
(Daniel Silverstone)
4276
4277
* urllib uses shared keep-alive connections, so http
4278
operations are substantially faster.
4279
(Vincent Ladeuil, #53654)
4280
4281
* ``bzr export`` allows an optional branch parameter, to export a bzr
4282
tree from some other url. For example:
4283
``bzr export bzr.tar.gz http://bazaar-vcs.org/bzr/bzr.dev``
4284
(Daniel Silverstone)
4285
4286
* Added ``bzr help topics`` to the bzr help system. This gives a
4287
location for general information, outside of a specific command.
4288
This includes updates for ``bzr help revisionspec`` the first topic
4289
included. (Goffredo Baroncelli, John Arbash Meinel, #42714)
4290
4291
* WSGI-compatible HTTP smart server. See ``doc/http_smart_server.txt``.
4292
(Andrew Bennetts)
4293
4294
* Knit files will now cache full texts only when the size of the
4295
deltas is as large as the size of the fulltext. (Or after 200
4296
deltas, whichever comes first). This has the most benefit on large
4297
files with small changes, such as the inventory for a large project.
4298
(eg For a project with 2500 files, and 7500 revisions, it changes
4299
the size of inventory.knit from 11MB to 5.4MB) (John Arbash Meinel)
4300
4301
INTERNALS:
4302
4303
* New -D option given before the command line turns on debugging output
4304
for particular areas. -Derror shows tracebacks on all errors.
4305
(Martin Pool)
4306
4307
* Clean up ``bzr selftest --benchmark bundle`` to correct an import,
4308
and remove benchmarks that take longer than 10min to run.
4309
(John Arbash Meinel)
4310
4311
* Use ``time.time()`` instead of ``time.clock()`` to decide on
4312
progress throttling. Because ``time.clock()`` is actually CPU time,
4313
so over a high-latency connection, too many updates get throttled.
4314
(John Arbash Meinel)
4315
4316
* ``MemoryTransport.list_dir()`` would strip the first character for
4317
files or directories in root directory. (John Arbash Meinel)
4318
4319
* New method ``get_branch_reference`` on 'BzrDir' allows the detection of
4320
branch references - which the smart server component needs.
4321
4322
* New ``ChrootTransportDecorator``, accessible via the ``chroot+`` url
4323
prefix. It disallows any access to locations above a set URL. (Andrew
4324
Bennetts)
4325
4326
BUG FIXES:
4327
4328
* Now ``_KnitIndex`` properly decode revision ids when loading index data.
4329
And optimize the knit index parsing code.
4330
(Dmitry Vasiliev, John Arbash Meinel)
4331
4332
* ``bzrlib/bzrdir.py`` was directly referencing ``bzrlib.workingtree``,
4333
without importing it. This prevented ``bzr upgrade`` from working
4334
unless a plugin already imported ``bzrlib.workingtree``
4335
(John Arbash Meinel, #70716)
4336
4337
* Suppress the traceback on invalid URLs (Vincent Ladeuil, #70803).
4338
4339
* Give nicer error message when an http server returns a 403
4340
error code. (Vincent Ladeuil, #57644).
4341
4342
* When a multi-range http GET request fails, try a single
4343
range one. If it fails too, forget about ranges. Remember that until
4344
the death of the transport and propagates that to the clones.
4345
(Vincent Ladeuil, #62276, #62029).
4346
4347
* Handles user/passwords supplied in url from command
4348
line (for the urllib implementation). Don't request already
4349
known passwords (Vincent Ladeuil, #42383, #44647, #48527)
4350
4351
* ``_KnitIndex.add_versions()`` dictionary compresses revision ids as they
4352
are added. This fixes bug where fetching remote revisions records
4353
them as full references rather than integers.
4354
(John Arbash Meinel, #64789)
4355
4356
* ``bzr ignore`` strips trailing slashes in patterns.
4357
Also ``bzr ignore`` rejects absolute paths. (Kent Gibson, #4559)
4358
4359
* ``bzr ignore`` takes multiple arguments. (Cheuksan Edward Wang, #29488)
4360
4361
* mv correctly handles paths that traverse symlinks.
4362
(Aaron Bentley, #66964)
4363
4364
* Give nicer looking error messages when failing to connect over ssh.
4365
(John Arbash Meinel, #49172)
4366
4367
* Pushing to a remote branch does not currently update the remote working
4368
tree. After a remote push, ``bzr status`` and ``bzr diff`` on the remote
4369
machine now show that the working tree is out of date.
4370
(Cheuksan Edward Wang #48136)
4371
4372
* Use patiencediff instead of difflib for determining deltas to insert
4373
into knits. This avoids the O(N^3) behavior of difflib. Patience
4374
diff should be O(N^2). (Cheuksan Edward Wang, #65714)
4375
4376
* Running ``bzr log`` on nonexistent file gives an error instead of the
4377
entire log history. (Cheuksan Edward Wang #50793)
4378
4379
* ``bzr cat`` can look up contents of removed or renamed files. If the
4380
pathname is ambiguous, i.e. the files in the old and new trees have
4381
different id's, the default is the file in the new tree. The user can
4382
use "--name-from-revision" to select the file in the old tree.
4383
(Cheuksan Edward Wang, #30190)
4384
4385
TESTING:
4386
4387
* TestingHTTPRequestHandler really handles the Range header
4388
(previously it was ignoring it and returning the whole file,).

4391
--------------------
4392
4393
INTERNALS:
4394
4395
* Clean up ``bzr selftest --benchmark bundle`` to correct an import,
4396
and remove benchmarks that take longer than 10min to run.
4397
(John Arbash Meinel)
4398
4399
bzr 0.12rc1 2006-10-23
4400
-----------------------
4401
4402
IMPROVEMENTS:
4403
4404
* ``bzr log`` now shows dotted-decimal revision numbers for all revisions,
4405
rather than just showing a decimal revision number for revisions on the
4406
mainline. These revision numbers are not yet accepted as input into bzr
4407
commands such as log, diff etc. (Robert Collins)
4408
4409
* revisions can now be specified using dotted-decimal revision numbers.
4410
For instance, ``bzr diff -r 1.2.1..1.2.3``. (Robert Collins)
4411
4412
* ``bzr help commands`` output is now shorter (Aaron Bentley)
4413
4414
* ``bzr`` now uses lazy importing to reduce the startup time. This has
4415
a moderate effect on lots of actions, especially ones that have
4416
little to do. For example ``bzr rocks`` time is down to 116ms from
4417
283ms. (John Arbash Meinel)
4418
4419
* New Registry class to provide name-to-object registry-like support,
4420
for example for schemes where plugins can register new classes to
4421
do certain tasks (e.g. log formatters). Also provides lazy registration
4422
to allow modules to be loaded on request.
4423
(John Arbash Meinel, Adeodato Simó)
4424
4425
API INCOMPATABILITY:
4426
4427
* LogFormatter subclasses show now expect the 'revno' parameter to
4428
show() to be a string rather than an int. (Robert Collins)
4429
4430
INTERNALS:
4431
4432
* ``TestCase.run_bzr``, ``run_bzr_captured``, and ``run_bzr_subprocess``
4433
can take a ``working_dir='foo'`` parameter, which will change directory
4434
for the command. (John Arbash Meinel)
4435
4436
* ``bzrlib.lazy_regex.lazy_compile`` can be used to create a proxy
4437
around a regex, which defers compilation until first use.
4438
(John Arbash Meinel)
4439
4440
* ``TestCase.run_bzr_subprocess`` defaults to supplying the
4441
``--no-plugins`` parameter to ensure test reproducability, and avoid
4442
problems with system-wide installed plugins. (John Arbash Meinel)
4443
4444
* Unique tree root ids are now supported. Newly created trees still
4445
use the common root id for compatibility with bzr versions before 0.12.
4446
(Aaron Bentley)
4447
4448
* ``WorkingTree.set_root_id(None)`` is now deprecated. Please
4449
pass in ``inventory.ROOT_ID`` if you want the default root id value.
4450
(Robert Collins, John Arbash Meinel)
4451
4452
* New method ``WorkingTree.flush()`` which will write the current memory
4453
inventory out to disk. At the same time, ``read_working_inventory`` will
4454
no longer trash the current tree inventory if it has been modified within
4455
the current lock, and the tree will now ``flush()`` automatically on
4456
``unlock()``. ``WorkingTree.set_root_id()`` has been updated to take
4457
advantage of this functionality. (Robert Collins, John Arbash Meinel)
4458
4459
* ``bzrlib.tsort.merge_sorted`` now accepts ``generate_revnos``. This
4460
parameter will cause it to add another column to its output, which
4461
contains the dotted-decimal revno for each revision, as a tuple.
4462
(Robert Collins)
4463
4464
* ``LogFormatter.show_merge`` is deprecated in favour of
4465
``LogFormatter.show_merge_revno``. (Robert Collins)
4466
4467
BUG FIXES:
4468
4469
* Avoid circular imports by creating a deprecated function for
4470
``bzrlib.tree.RevisionTree``. Callers should have been using
4471
``bzrlib.revisontree.RevisionTree`` anyway. (John Arbash Meinel,
4472
#63360, #66349)
4473
4474
* Don't use ``socket.MSG_WAITALL`` as it doesn't exist on all
4475
platforms. (Martin Pool, #66356)
4476
4477
* Don't require ``Content-Type`` in range responses. Assume they are a
4478
single range if ``Content-Type`` does not exist.
4479
(John Arbash Meinel, #62473)
4480
4481
* bzr branch/pull no longer complain about progress bar cleanup when
4482
interrupted during fetch. (Aaron Bentley, #54000)
4483
4484
* ``WorkingTree.set_parent_trees()`` uses the trees to directly write
4485
the basis inventory, rather than going through the repository. This
4486
allows us to have 1 inventory read, and 2 inventory writes when
4487
committing a new tree. (John Arbash Meinel)
4488
4489
* When reverting, files that are not locally modified that do not exist
4490
in the target are deleted, not just unversioned (Aaron Bentley)
4491
4492
* When trying to acquire a lock, don't fail immediately. Instead, try
4493
a few times (up to 1 hour) before timing out. Also, report why the
4494
lock is unavailable (John Arbash Meinel, #43521, #49556)
4495
4496
* Leave HttpTransportBase daughter classes decides how they
4497
implement cloning. (Vincent Ladeuil, #61606)
4498
4499
* diff3 does not indicate conflicts on clean merge. (Aaron Bentley)
4500
4501
* If a commit fails, the commit message is stored in a file at the root of
4502
the tree for later commit. (Cheuksan Edward Wang, Stefan Metzmacher,
4503
#32054)
4504
4505
TESTING:
4506
4507
* New test base class TestCaseWithMemoryTransport offers memory-only
4508
testing facilities: its not suitable for tests that need to mutate disk
4509
state, but most tests should not need that and should be converted to
4510
TestCaseWithMemoryTransport. (Robert Collins)
4511
4512
* ``TestCase.make_branch_and_memory_tree`` now takes a format
4513
option to set the BzrDir, Repository and Branch formats of the
4514
created objects. (Robert Collins, John Arbash Meinel)
4515
4516
bzr 0.11 2006-10-02

4531
bzr 0.11rc1 2006-09-25
4532
-----------------------
4533
4534
IMPROVEMENTS:
4535
4536
* Knit files now wait to create their contents until the first data is
4537
added. The old code used to create an empty .knit and a .kndx with just
4538
the header. However, this caused a lot of extra round trips over sftp.
4539
This can change the time for ``bzr push`` to create a new remote branch
4540
from 160s down to 100s. This also affects ``bzr commit`` performance when
4541
adding new files, ``bzr commit`` on a new kernel-like tree drops from 50s
4542
down to 40s (John Arbash Meinel, #44692)
4543
4544
* When an entire subtree has been deleted, commit will now report that
4545
just the top of the subtree has been deleted, rather than reporting
4546
all the individual items. (Robert Collins)
4547
4548
* Commit performs one less XML parse. (Robert Collins)
4549
4550
* ``bzr checkout`` now operates on readonly branches as well
4551
as readwrite branches. This fixes bug #39542. (Robert Collins)
4552
4553
* ``bzr bind`` no longer synchronises history with the master branch.
4554
Binding should be followed by an update or push to synchronise the
4555
two branches. This is closely related to the fix for bug #39542.
4556
(Robert Collins)
4557
4558
* ``bzrlib.lazy_import.lazy_import`` function to create on-demand
4559
objects. This allows all imports to stay at the global scope, but
4560
modules will not actually be imported if they are not used.
4561
(John Arbash Meinel)
4562
4563
* Support ``bzr://`` and ``bzr+ssh://`` urls to work with the new RPC-based
4564
transport which will be used with the upcoming high-performance smart
4565
server. The new command ``bzr serve`` will invoke bzr in server mode,
4566
which processes these requests. (Andrew Bennetts, Robert Collins, Martin
4567
Pool)
4568
4569
* New command ``bzr version-info`` which can be used to get a summary
4570
of the current state of the tree. This is especially useful as part
4571
of a build commands. See ``doc/version_info.txt`` for more information
4572
(John Arbash Meinel)
4573
4574
BUG FIXES:
4575
4576
* ``'bzr inventory [FILE...]'`` allows restricting the file list to a
4577
specific set of files. (John Arbash Meinel, #3631)
4578
4579
* Don't abort when annotating empty files (John Arbash Meinel, #56814)
4580
4581
* Add ``Stanza.to_unicode()`` which can be passed to another Stanza
4582
when nesting stanzas. Also, add ``read_stanza_unicode`` to handle when
4583
reading a nested Stanza. (John Arbash Meinel)
4584
4585
* Transform._set_mode() needs to stat the right file.
4586
(John Arbash Meinel, #56549)
4587
4588
* Raise WeaveFormatError rather than StopIteration when trying to read
4589
an empty Weave file. (John Arbash Meinel, #46871)
4590
4591
* Don't access e.code for generic URLErrors, only HTTPErrors have .code.
4592
(Vincent Ladeuil, #59835)
4593
4594
* Handle boundary="" lines properly to allow access through a Squid proxy.
4595
(John Arbash Meinel, #57723)
4596
4597
* revert now removes newly-added directories (Aaron Bentley, #54172)
4598
4599
* ``bzr upgrade sftp://`` shouldn't fail to upgrade v6 branches if there
4600
isn't a working tree. (David Allouche, #40679)
4601
4602
* Give nicer error messages when a user supplies an invalid --revision
4603
parameter. (John Arbash Meinel, #55420)
4604
4605
* Handle when LANG is not recognized by python. Emit a warning, but
4606
just revert to using 'ascii'. (John Arbash Meinel, #35392)
4607
4608
* Don't use ``preexec_fn`` on win32, as it is not supported by subprocess.
4609
(John Arbash Meinel)
4610
4611
* Skip specific tests when the dependencies aren't met. This includes
4612
some ``setup.py`` tests when ``python-dev`` is not available, and
4613
some tests that depend on paramiko. (John Arbash Meinel, Mattheiu Moy)
4614
4615
* Fallback to Paramiko properly, if no ``ssh`` executable exists on
4616
the system. (Andrew Bennetts, John Arbash Meinel)
4617
4618
* ``Branch.bind(other_branch)`` no longer takes a write lock on the
4619
other branch, and will not push or pull between the two branches.
4620
API users will need to perform a push or pull or update operation if they
4621
require branch synchronisation to take place. (Robert Collins, #47344)
4622
4623
* When creating a tarball or zipfile export, export unicode names as utf-8
4624
paths. This may not work perfectly on all platforms, but has the best
4625
chance of working in the common case. (John Arbash Meinel, #56816)
4626
4627
* When committing, only files that exist in working tree or basis tree
4628
may be specified (Aaron Bentley, #50793)
4629
4630
PORTABILITY:
4631
4632
* Fixes to run on Python 2.5 (Brian M. Carlson, Martin Pool, Marien Zwart)
4633
4634
INTERNALS:
4635
4636
* TestCaseInTempDir now creates a separate directory for HOME, rather
4637
than having HOME set to the same location as the working directory.
4638
(John Arbash Meinel)
4639
4640
* ``run_bzr_subprocess()`` can take an optional ``env_changes={}`` parameter,
4641
which will update os.environ inside the spawned child. It also can
4642
take a ``universal_newlines=True``, which helps when checking the output
4643
of the command. (John Arbash Meinel)
4644
4645
* Refactor SFTP vendors to allow easier re-use when ssh is used.
4646
(Andrew Bennetts)
4647
4648
* ``Transport.list_dir()`` and ``Transport.iter_files_recursive()`` should always
4649
return urlescaped paths. This is now tested (there were bugs in a few
4650
of the transports) (Andrew Bennetts, David Allouche, John Arbash Meinel)
4651
4652
* New utility function ``symbol_versioning.deprecation_string``. Returns the
4653
formatted string for a callable, deprecation format pair. (Robert Collins)
4654
4655
* New TestCase helper applyDeprecated. This allows you to call a callable
4656
which is deprecated without it spewing to the screen, just by supplying
4657
the deprecation format string issued for it. (Robert Collins)
4658
4659
* Transport.append and Transport.put have been deprecated in favor of
4660
``.append_bytes``, ``.append_file``, ``.put_bytes``, and
4661
``.put_file``. This removes the ambiguity in what type of object the
4662
functions take. ``Transport.non_atomic_put_{bytes,file}`` has also
4663
been added. Which works similarly to ``Transport.append()`` except for
4664
SFTP, it doesn't have a round trip when opening the file. Also, it
4665
provides functionality for creating a parent directory when trying
4666
to create a file, rather than raise NoSuchFile and forcing the
4667
caller to repeat their request.
4668
(John Arbash Meinel)
4669
4670
* WorkingTree has a new api ``unversion`` which allow the unversioning of
4671
entries by their file id. (Robert Collins)
4672
4673
* ``WorkingTree.pending_merges`` is deprecated. Please use the
4674
``get_parent_ids`` (introduced in 0.10) method instead. (Robert Collins)
4675
4676
* WorkingTree has a new ``lock_tree_write`` method which locks the branch for
4677
read rather than write. This is appropriate for actions which only need
4678
the branch data for reference rather than mutation. A new decorator
4679
``needs_tree_write_lock`` is provided in the workingtree module. Like the
4680
``needs_read_lock`` and ``needs_write_lock`` decorators this allows static
4681
declaration of the locking requirements of a function to ensure that
4682
a lock is taken out for casual scripts. (Robert Collins, #54107)
4683
4684
* All WorkingTree methods which write to the tree, but not to the branch
4685
have been converted to use ``needs_tree_write_lock`` rather than
4686
``needs_write_lock``. Also converted is the revert, conflicts and tree
4687
transform modules. This provides a modest performance improvement on
4688
metadir style trees, due to the reduce lock-acquisition, and a more
4689
significant performance improvement on lightweight checkouts from
4690
remote branches, where trivial operations used to pay a significant
4691
penalty. It also provides the basis for allowing readonly checkouts.
4692
(Robert Collins)
4693
4694
* Special case importing the standard library 'copy' module. This shaves
4695
off 40ms of startup time, while retaining compatibility. See:
4696
``bzrlib/inspect_for_copy.py`` for more details. (John Arbash Meinel)
4697
4698
* WorkingTree has a new parent class MutableTree which represents the
4699
specialisations of Tree which are able to be altered. (Robert Collins)
4700
4701
* New methods mkdir and ``put_file_bytes_non_atomic`` on MutableTree that
4702
mutate the tree and its contents. (Robert Collins)
4703
4704
* Transport behaviour at the root of the URL is now defined and tested.
4705
(Andrew Bennetts, Robert Collins)
4706
4707
TESTING:
4708
4709
* New test helper classs MemoryTree. This is typically accessed via
4710
``self.make_branch_and_memory_tree()`` in test cases. (Robert Collins)
4711
4712
* Add ``start_bzr_subprocess`` and ``stop_bzr_subprocess`` to allow test
4713
code to continue running concurrently with a subprocess of bzr.
4714
(Andrew Bennetts, Robert Collins)
4715
4716
* Add a new method ``Transport.get_smart_client()``. This is provided to
4717
allow upgrades to a richer interface than the VFS one provided by
4718
Transport. (Andrew Bennetts, Martin Pool)
4719
4720
bzr 0.10 2006-08-29
4721
--------------------
4722
4723
IMPROVEMENTS:
4724
* 'merge' now takes --uncommitted, to apply uncommitted changes from a
4725
tree. (Aaron Bentley)
4726
4727
* 'bzr add --file-ids-from' can be used to specify another path to use
4728
for creating file ids, rather than generating all new ones. Internally,
4729
the 'action' passed to ``smart_add_tree()`` can return ``file_ids`` that
4730
will be used, rather than having bzrlib generate new ones.
4731
(John Arbash Meinel, #55781)
4732
4733
* ``bzr selftest --benchmark`` now allows a ``--cache-dir`` parameter.
4734
This will cache some of the intermediate trees, and decrease the
4735
setup time for benchmark tests. (John Arbash Meinel)
4736
4737
* Inverse forms are provided for all boolean options. For example,
4738
--strict has --no-strict, --no-recurse has --recurse (Aaron Bentley)
4739
4740
* Serialize out Inventories directly, rather than using ElementTree.
4741
Writing out a kernel sized inventory drops from 2s down to ~350ms.
4742
(Robert Collins, John Arbash Meinel)
4743
4744
BUG FIXES:
4745
4746
* Help diffutils 2.8.4 get along with binary tests (Marien Zwart: #57614)
4747
4748
* Change LockDir so that if the lock directory doesn't exist when
4749
``lock_write()`` is called, an attempt will be made to create it.
4750
(John Arbash Meinel, #56974)
4751
4752
* ``bzr uncommit`` preserves pending merges. (John Arbash Meinel, #57660)
4753
4754
* Active FTP transport now works as intended. (ghozzy, #56472)
4755
4756
* Really fix mutter() so that it won't ever raise a UnicodeError.
4757
It means it is possible for ~/.bzr.log to contain non UTF-8 characters.
4758
But it is a debugging log, not a real user file.
4759
(John Arbash Meinel, #56947, #53880)
4760
4761
* Change Command handle to allow Unicode command and options.
4762
At present we cannot register Unicode command names, so we will get
4763
BzrCommandError('unknown command'), or BzrCommandError('unknown option')
4764
But that is better than a UnicodeError + a traceback.
4765
(John Arbash Meinel, #57123)
4766
4767
* Handle TZ=UTC properly when reading/writing revisions.
4768
(John Arbash Meinel, #55783, #56290)
4769
4770
* Use ``GPG_TTY`` to allow gpg --cl to work with gpg-agent in a pipeline,
4771
(passing text to sign in on stdin). (John Arbash Meinel, #54468)
4772
4773
* External diff does the right thing for binaries even in foreign
4774
languages. (John Arbash Meinel, #56307)
4775
4776
* Testament handles more cases when content is unicode. Specific bug was
4777
in handling of revision properties.
4778
(John Arbash Meinel, Holger Krekel, #54723)
4779
4780
* The bzr selftest was failing on installed versions due to a bug in a new
4781
test helper. (John Arbash Meinel, Robert Collins, #58057)
4782
4783
INTERNALS:
4784
4785
* ``bzrlib.cache_utf8`` contains ``encode()`` and ``decode()`` functions
4786
which can be used to cache the conversion between utf8 and Unicode.
4787
Especially helpful for some of the knit annotation code, which has to
4788
convert revision ids to utf8 to annotate lines in storage.
4789
(John Arbash Meinel)
4790
4791
* ``setup.py`` now searches the filesystem to find all packages which
4792
need to be installed. This should help make the life of packagers
4793
easier. (John Arbash Meinel)
4794
4795
bzr 0.9.0 2006-08-11
4796
---------------------
4797
4798
SURPRISES:
4799
4800
* The hard-coded built-in ignore rules have been removed. There are
4801
now two rulesets which are enforced. A user global one in
4802
``~/.bazaar/ignore`` which will apply to every tree, and the tree
4803
specific one '.bzrignore'.
4804
``~/.bazaar/ignore`` will be created if it does not exist, but with
4805
a more conservative list than the old default.
4806
This fixes bugs with default rules being enforced no matter what.
4807
The old list of ignore rules from bzr is available by
4808
running 'bzr ignore --old-default-rules'.
4809
(Robert Collins, Martin Pool, John Arbash Meinel)
4810
4811
* 'branches.conf' has been changed to 'locations.conf', since it can apply
4812
to more locations than just branch locations.
4813
(Aaron Bentley)
4814
4815
IMPROVEMENTS:
4816
4817
* The revision specifier "revno:" is extended to accept the syntax
4818
revno:N:branch. For example,
4819
revno:42:http://bazaar-vcs.org/bzr/bzr.dev/ means revision 42 in
4820
bzr.dev. (Matthieu Moy)
4821
4822
* Tests updates to ensure proper URL handling, UNICODE support, and
4823
proper printing when the user's terminal encoding cannot display
4824
the path of a file that has been versioned.
4825
``bzr branch`` can take a target URL rather than only a local directory.
4826
``Branch.get_parent()/set_parent()`` now save a relative path if possible,
4827
and normalize the parent based on root, allowing access across
4828
different transports. (John Arbash Meinel, Wouter van Heyst, Martin Pool)
4829
(Malone #48906, #42699, #40675, #5281, #3980, #36363, #43689,
4830
#42517, #42514)
4831
4832
* On Unix, detect terminal width using an ioctl not just $COLUMNS.
4833
Use terminal width for single-line logs from ``bzr log --line`` and
4834
pending-merge display. (Robert Widhopf-Fenk, Gustavo Niemeyer)
4835
(Malone #3507)
4836
4837
* On Windows, detect terminal width using GetConsoleScreenBufferInfo.
4838
(Alexander Belchenko)
4839
4840
* Speedup improvement for 'date:'-revision search. (Guillaume Pinot).
4841
4842
* Show the correct number of revisions pushed when pushing a new branch.
4843
(Robert Collins).
4844
4845
* 'bzr selftest' now shows a progress bar with the number of tests, and
4846
progress made. 'make check' shows tests in -v mode, to be more useful
4847
for the PQM status window. (Robert Collins).
4848
When using a progress bar, failed tests are printed out, rather than
4849
being overwritten by the progress bar until the suite finishes.
4850
(John Arbash Meinel)
4851
4852
* 'bzr selftest --benchmark' will run a new benchmarking selftest.
4853
'bzr selftest --benchmark --lsprof-timed' will use lsprofile to generate
4854
profile data for the individual profiled calls, allowing for fine
4855
grained analysis of performance.
4856
(Robert Collins, Martin Pool).
4857
4858
* 'bzr commit' shows a progress bar. This is useful for commits over sftp
4859
where commit can take an appreciable time. (Robert Collins)
4860
4861
* 'bzr add' is now less verbose in telling you what ignore globs were
4862
matched by files being ignored. Instead it just tells you how many
4863
were ignored (because you might reasonably be expecting none to be
4864
ignored). 'bzr add -v' is unchanged and will report every ignored
4865
file. (Robert Collins).
4866
4867
* ftp now has a test server if medusa is installed. As part of testing,
4868
ftp support has been improved, including support for supplying a
4869
non-standard port. (John Arbash Meinel).
4870
4871
* 'bzr log --line' shows the revision number, and uses only the
4872
first line of the log message (#5162, Alexander Belchenko;
4873
Matthieu Moy)
4874
4875
* 'bzr status' has had the --all option removed. The 'bzr ls' command
4876
should be used to retrieve all versioned files. (Robert Collins)
4877
4878
* 'bzr bundle OTHER/BRANCH' will create a bundle which can be sent
4879
over email, and applied on the other end, while maintaining ancestry.
4880
This bundle can be applied with either 'bzr merge' or 'bzr pull',
4881
the same way you would apply another branch.
4882
(John Arbash Meinel, Aaron Bentley)
4883
4884
* 'bzr whoami' can now be used to set your identity from the command line,
4885
for a branch or globally. (Robey Pointer)
4886
4887
* 'bzr checkout' now aliased to 'bzr co', and 'bzr annotate' to 'bzr ann'.
4888
(Michael Ellerman)
4889
4890
* 'bzr revert DIRECTORY' now reverts the contents of the directory as well.
4891
(Aaron Bentley)
4892
4893
* 'bzr get sftp://foo' gives a better error when paramiko is not present.
4894
Also updates things like 'http+pycurl://' if pycurl is not present.
4895
(John Arbash Meinel) (Malone #47821, #52204)
4896
4897
* New env variable ``BZR_PROGRESS_BAR``, sets the default progress bar type.
4898
Can be set to 'none' or 'dummy' to disable the progress bar, 'dots' or
4899
'tty' to create the respective type. (John Arbash Meinel, #42197, #51107)
4900
4901
* Improve the help text for 'bzr diff' to explain what various options do.
4902
(John Arbash Meinel, #6391)
4903
4904
* 'bzr uncommit -r 10' now uncommits revisions 11.. rather than uncommitting
4905
revision 10. This makes -r10 more in line with what other commands do.
4906
'bzr uncommit' also now saves the pending merges of the revisions that
4907
were removed. So it is safe to uncommit after a merge, fix something,
4908
and commit again. (John Arbash Meinel, #32526, #31426)
4909
4910
* 'bzr init' now also works on remote locations.
4911
(Wouter van Heyst, #48904)
4912
4913
* HTTP support has been updated. When using pycurl we now support
4914
connection keep-alive, which reduces dns requests and round trips.
4915
And for both urllib and pycurl we support multi-range requests,
4916
which decreases the number of round-trips. Performance results for
4917
``bzr branch http://bazaar-vcs.org/bzr/bzr.dev/`` indicate
4918
http branching is now 2-3x faster, and ``bzr pull`` in an existing
4919
branch is as much as 4x faster.
4920
(Michael Ellerman, Johan Rydberg, John Arbash Meinel, #46768)
4921
4922
* Performance improvements for sftp. Branching and pulling are now up to
4923
2x faster. Utilize paramiko.readv() support for async requests if it
4924
is available (paramiko > 1.6) (John Arbash Meinel)
4925
4926
BUG FIXES:
4927
4928
* Fix shadowed definition of TestLocationConfig that caused some
4929
tests not to run.
4930
(Erik Bågfors, Michael Ellerman, Martin Pool, #32587)
4931
4932
* Fix unnecessary requirement of sign-my-commits that it be run from
4933
a working directory. (Martin Pool, Robert Collins)
4934
4935
* 'bzr push location' will only remember the push location if it succeeds
4936
in connecting to the remote location. (John Arbash Meinel, #49742)
4937
4938
* 'bzr revert' no longer toggles the executable bit on win32
4939
(John Arbash Meinel, #45010)
4940
4941
* Handle broken pipe under win32 correctly. (John Arbash Meinel)
4942
4943
* sftp tests now work correctly on win32 if you have a newer paramiko
4944
(John Arbash Meinel)
4945
4946
* Cleanup win32 test suite, and general cleanup of places where
4947
file handles were being held open. (John Arbash Meinel)
4948
4949
* When specifying filenames for 'diff -r x..y', the name of the file in the
4950
working directory can be used, even if its name is different in both x
4951
and y.
4952
4953
* File-ids containing single- or double-quotes are handled correctly by
4954
push. (Aaron Bentley, #52227)
4955
4956
* Normalize unicode filenames to ensure cross-platform consistency.
4957
(John Arbash Meinel, #43689)
4958
4959
* The argument parser can now handle '-' as an argument. Currently
4960
no code interprets it specially (it is mostly handled as a file named
4961
'-'). But plugins, and future operations can use it.
4962
(John Arbash meinel, #50984)
4963
4964
* Bundles can properly read binary files with a plain '\r' in them.
4965
(John Arbash Meinel, #51927)
4966
4967
* Tuning ``iter_entries()`` to be more efficient (John Arbash Meinel, #5444)
4968
4969
* Lots of win32 fixes (the test suite passes again).
4970
(John Arbash Meinel, #50155)
4971
4972
* Handle openbsd returning None for sys.getfilesystemencoding() (#41183)
4973
4974
* Support ftp APPE (append) to allow Knits to be used over ftp (#42592)
4975
4976
* Removals are only committed if they match the filespec (or if there is
4977
no filespec). (#46635, Aaron Bentley)
4978
4979
* smart-add recurses through all supplied directories
4980
(John Arbash Meinel, #52578)
4981
4982
* Make the bundle reader extra lines before and after the bundle text.
4983
This allows you to parse an email with the bundle inline.
4984
(John Arbash Meinel, #49182)
4985
4986
* Change the file id generator to squash a little bit more. Helps when
4987
working with long filenames on windows. (Also helps for unicode filenames
4988
not generating hidden files). (John Arbash Meinel, #43801)
4989
4990
* Restore terminal mode on C-c while reading sftp password. (#48923,
4991
Nicholas Allen, Martin Pool)
4992
4993
* Timestamps are rounded to 1ms, and revision entries can be recreated
4994
exactly. (John Arbash Meinel, Jamie Wilkinson, #40693)
4995
4996
* Branch.base has changed to a URL, but ~/.bazaar/locations.conf should
4997
use local paths, since it is user visible (John Arbash Meinel, #53653)
4998
4999
* ``bzr status foo`` when foo was unversioned used to cause a full delta
5000
to be generated (John Arbash Meinel, #53638)
5001
5002
* When reading revision properties, an empty value should be considered
5003
the empty string, not None (John Arbash Meinel, #47782)
5004
5005
* ``bzr diff --diff-options`` can now handle binary files being changed.
5006
Also, the output is consistent when --diff-options is not supplied.
5007
(John Arbash Meinel, #54651, #52930)
5008
5009
* Use the right suffixes for loading plugins (John Arbash Meinel, #51810)
5010
5011
* Fix ``Branch.get_parent()`` to handle the case when the parent is not
5012
accessible (John Arbash Meinel, #52976)
5013
5014
INTERNALS:
5015
5016
* Combine the ignore rules into a single regex rather than looping over
5017
them to reduce the threshold where N^2 behaviour occurs in operations
5018
like status. (Jan Hudec, Robert Collins).
5019
5020
* Appending to ``bzrlib.DEFAULT_IGNORE`` is now deprecated. Instead, use
5021
one of the add functions in bzrlib.ignores. (John Arbash Meinel)
5022
5023
* 'bzr push' should only push the ancestry of the current revision, not
5024
all of the history in the repository. This is especially important for
5025
shared repositories. (John Arbash Meinel)
5026
5027
* ``bzrlib.delta.compare_trees`` now iterates in alphabetically sorted order,
5028
rather than randomly walking the inventories. (John Arbash Meinel)
5029
5030
* Doctests are now run in temporary directories which are cleaned up when
5031
they finish, rather than using special ScratchDir/ScratchBranch objects.
5032
(Martin Pool)
5033
5034
* Split ``check`` into separate methods on the branch and on the repository,
5035
so that it can be specialized in ways that are useful or efficient for
5036
different formats. (Martin Pool, Robert Collins)
5037
5038
* Deprecate ``Repository.all_revision_ids``; most methods don't really need
5039
the global revision graph but only that part leading up to a particular
5040
revision. (Martin Pool, Robert Collins)
5041
5042
* Add a BzrDirFormat ``control_formats`` list which allows for control formats
5043
that do not use '.bzr' to store their data - i.e. '.svn', '.hg' etc.
5044
(Robert Collins, Jelmer Vernooij).
5045
5046
* ``bzrlib.diff.external_diff`` can be redirected to any file-like object.
5047
Uses subprocess instead of spawnvp.
5048
(James Henstridge, John Arbash Meinel, #4047, #48914)
5049
5050
* New command line option '--profile-imports', which will install a custom
5051
importer to log time to import modules and regex compilation time to
5052
sys.stderr (John Arbash Meinel)
5053
5054
* 'EmptyTree' is now deprecated, please use ``repository.revision_tree(None)``
5055
instead. (Robert Collins)
5056
5057
* "RevisionTree" is now in bzrlib/revisiontree.py. (Robert Collins)

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

* Fix for bzr pull failing sometimes under windows
5500
5501
* Fix for sftp transport under windows when using interactive auth
5502
5503
* Show files which are both renamed and modified as such in 'bzr
5504
status' output. (Daniel Silverstone, #4503)
5505
5506
* Make annotate cope better with revisions committed without a valid
5507
email address. (Marien Zwart)
5508
5509
* Fix representation of tab characters in commit messages.
5510
(Harald Meland)
5511
5512
* List of plugin directories in ``BZR_PLUGIN_PATH`` environment variable is
5513
now parsed properly under Windows. (Alexander Belchenko)
5514
5515
* Show number of revisions pushed/pulled/merged. (Robey Pointer)
5516
5517
* Keep a cached copy of the basis inventory to speed up operations
5518
that need to refer to it. (Johan Rydberg, Martin Pool)
5519
5520
* Fix bugs in bzr status display of non-ascii characters.
5521
(Martin Pool)
5522
5523
* Remove Makefile.in from default ignore list.
5524
(Tollef Fog Heen, Martin Pool, #6413)
5525
5526
* Fix failure in 'bzr added'. (Nathan McCallum, Martin Pool)
5527
5528
TESTING:
5529
5530
* Fix selftest asking for passwords when there are no SFTP keys.
5531
(Robey Pointer, Jelmer Vernooij)
5532
5533
* Fix selftest run with 'python -O'. (Martin Pool)
5534
5535
* Fix HTTP tests under Windows. (John Arbash Meinel)
5536
5537
* Make tests work even if HOME is not set (Aaron Bentley)
5538
5539
* Updated ``build_tree`` to use fixed line-endings for tests which read
5540
the file cotents and compare. Make some tests use this to pass under
5541
Windows. (John Arbash Meinel)
5542
5543
* Skip stat and symlink tests under Windows. (Alexander Belchenko)
5544
5545
* Delay in selftest/testhashcash is now issued under win32 and Cygwin.
5546
(John Arbash Meinel)
5547
5548
* Use terminal width to align verbose test output. (Martin Pool)
5549
5550
* Blackbox tests are maintained within the bzrlib.tests.blackbox directory.
5551
If adding a new test script please add that to
5552
``bzrlib.tests.blackbox.__init__``. (Robert Collins)
5553
5554
* Much better error message if one of the test suites can't be
5555
imported. (Martin Pool)
5556
5557
* Make check now runs the test suite twice - once with the default locale,
5558
and once with all locales forced to C, to expose bugs. This is not
5559
trivially done within python, so for now its only triggered by running
5560
Make check. Integrators and packagers who wish to check for full
5561
platform support should run 'make check' to test the source.
5562
(Robert Collins)
5563
5564
* Tests can now run TestSkipped if they can't execute for any reason.
5565
(Martin Pool) (NB: TestSkipped should only be raised for correctable
5566
reasons - see the wiki spec ImprovingBzrTestSuite).
5567
5568
* Test sftp with relative, absolute-in-homedir and absolute-not-in-homedir
5569
paths for the transport tests. Introduce blackbox remote sftp tests that
5570
test the same permutations. (Robert Collins, Robey Pointer)
5571
5572
* Transport implementation tests are now independent of the local file
5573
system, which allows tests for esoteric transports, and for features
5574
not available in the local file system. They also repeat for variations
5575
on the URL scheme that can introduce issues in the transport code,
5576
see bzrlib.transport.TransportTestProviderAdapter() for this.
5577
(Robert Collins).
5578
5579
* ``TestCase.build_tree`` uses the transport interface to build trees,
5580
pass in a transport parameter to give it an existing connection.
5581
(Robert Collins).
5582
5583
INTERNALS:
5584
5585
* WorkingTree.pull has been split across Branch and WorkingTree,
5586
to allow Branch only pulls. (Robert Collins)
5587
5588
* ``commands.display_command`` now returns the result of the decorated
5589
function. (Robert Collins)
5590
5591
* LocationConfig now has a ``set_user_option(key, value)`` call to save
5592
a setting in its matching location section (a new one is created
5593
if needed). (Robert Collins)
5594
5595
* Branch has two new methods, ``get_push_location`` and
5596
``set_push_location`` to respectively, get and set the push location.
5597
(Robert Collins)
5598
5599
* ``commands.register_command`` now takes an optional flag to signal that
5600
the registrant is planning to decorate an existing command. When
5601
given multiple plugins registering a command is not an error, and
5602
the original command class (whether built in or a plugin based one) is
5603
returned to the caller. There is a new error 'MustUseDecorated' for
5604
signalling when a wrapping command should switch to the original
5605
version. (Robert Collins)
5606
5607
* Some option parsing errors will raise 'BzrOptionError', allowing
5608
granular detection for decorating commands. (Robert Collins).
5609
5610
* ``Branch.read_working_inventory`` has moved to
5611
``WorkingTree.read_working_inventory``. This necessitated changes to
5612
``Branch.get_root_id``, and a move of ``Branch.set_inventory`` to
5613
WorkingTree as well. To make it clear that a WorkingTree cannot always
5614
be obtained ``Branch.working_tree()`` will raise
5615
``errors.NoWorkingTree`` if one cannot be obtained. (Robert Collins)
5616
5617
* All pending merges operations from Branch are now on WorkingTree.
5618
(Robert Collins)
5619
5620
* The follow operations from Branch have moved to WorkingTree::
5621
5622
add()
5623
commit()
5624
move()
5625
rename_one()
5626
unknowns()
5627
5628
(Robert Collins)
5629
5630
* ``bzrlib.add.smart_add_branch`` is now ``smart_add_tree``. (Robert Collins)
5631
5632
* New "rio" serialization format, similar to rfc-822. (Martin Pool)
5633
5634
* Rename selftests to ``bzrlib.tests.test_foo``. (John A Meinel, Martin
5635
Pool)
5636
5637
* ``bzrlib.plugin.all_plugins`` has been changed from an attribute to a
5638
query method. (Robert Collins)
5639
5640
* New options to read only the table-of-contents of a weave.
5641
(Denys Duchier)
5642
5643
* Raise NoSuchFile when someone tries to add a non-existant file.
5644
(Michael Ellerman)
5645
5646
* Simplify handling of DivergedBranches in ``cmd_pull()``.
5647
(Michael Ellerman)
5648
5649
* Branch.controlfile* logic has moved to lockablefiles.LockableFiles, which
5650
is exposed as ``Branch().control_files``. Also this has been altered with the
5651
controlfile pre/suffix replaced by simple method names like 'get' and
5652
'put'. (Aaron Bentley, Robert Collins).
5653
5654
* Deprecated functions and methods can now be marked as such using the
5655
``bzrlib.symbol_versioning`` module. Marked method have their docstring
5656
updated and will issue a DeprecationWarning using the warnings module
5657
when they are used. (Robert Collins)
5658
5659
* ``bzrlib.osutils.safe_unicode`` now exists to provide parameter coercion
5660
for functions that need unicode strings. (Robert Collins)

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

5874
bzr 0.1.1 2005-10-12
5875
--------------------
5876
5877
BUG FIXES:
5878
5879
* Fix problem in pulling over http from machines that do not
5880
allow directories to be listed.
5881
5882
* Avoid harmless warning about invalid hash cache after
5883
upgrading branch format.
5884
5885
PERFORMANCE:
5886
5887
* Avoid some unnecessary http operations in branch and pull.

bzr 0.1 2005-10-11
5891
------------------
5892
5893
NOTES:
5894
5895
* 'bzr branch' over http initially gives a very high estimate
5896
of completion time but it should fall as the first few
5897
revisions are pulled in. branch is still slow on
5898
high-latency connections.
5899
5900
BUG FIXES:
5901
5902
* bzr-man.py has been updated to work again. Contributed by
5903
Rob Weir.
5904
5905
* Locking is now done with fcntl.lockf which works with NFS
5906
file systems. Contributed by Harald Meland.
5907
5908
* When a merge encounters a file that has been deleted on
5909
one side and modified on the other, the old contents are
5910
written out to foo.BASE and foo.SIDE, where SIDE is this
5911
or OTHER. Contributed by Aaron Bentley.
5912
5913
* Export was choosing incorrect file paths for the content of
5914
the tarball, this has been fixed by Aaron Bentley.
5915
5916
* Commit will no longer commit without a log message, an
5917
error is returned instead. Contributed by Jelmer Vernooij.
5918
5919
* If you commit a specific file in a sub directory, any of its
5920
parent directories that are added but not listed will be
5921
automatically included. Suggested by Michael Ellerman.
5922
5923
* bzr commit and upgrade did not correctly record new revisions
5924
for files with only a change to their executable status.
5925
bzr will correct this when it encounters it. Fixed by
5926
Robert Collins
5927
5928
* HTTP tests now force off the use of ``http_proxy`` for the duration.
5929
Contributed by Gustavo Niemeyer.
5930
5931
* Fix problems in merging weave-based branches that have
5932
different partial views of history.
5933
5934
* Symlink support: working with symlinks when not in the root of a
5935
bzr tree was broken, patch from Scott James Remnant.
5936
5937
IMPROVEMENTS:
5938
5939
* 'branch' now accepts a --basis parameter which will take advantage
5940
of local history when making a new branch. This allows faster
5941
branching of remote branches. Contributed by Aaron Bentley.
5942
5943
* New tree format based on weave files, called version 5.
5944
Existing branches can be upgraded to this format using
5945
'bzr upgrade'.
5946
5947
* Symlinks are now versionable. Initial patch by
5948
Erik Toubro Nielsen, updated to head by Robert Collins.
5949
5950
* Executable bits are tracked on files. Patch from Gustavo
5951
Niemeyer.
5952
5953
* 'bzr status' now shows unknown files inside a selected directory.
5954
Patch from Heikki Paajanen.
5955
5956
* Merge conflicts are recorded in .bzr. Two new commands 'conflicts'
5957
and 'resolve' have needed added, which list and remove those
5958
merge conflicts respectively. A conflicted tree cannot be committed
5959
in. Contributed by Aaron Bentley.
5960
5961
* 'rm' is now an alias for 'remove'.
5962
5963
* Stores now split out their content in a single byte prefixed hash,
5964
dropping the density of files per directory by 256. Contributed by
5965
Gustavo Niemeyer.
5966
5967
* 'bzr diff -r branch:URL' will now perform a diff between two branches.
5968
Contributed by Robert Collins.
5969
5970
* 'bzr log' with the default formatter will show merged revisions,
5971
indented to the right. Initial implementation contributed by Gustavo
5972
Niemeyer, made incremental by Robert Collins.
5973
5974
5975
INTERNALS:
5976
5977
* Test case failures have the exception printed after the log
5978
for your viewing pleasure.
5979
5980
* InventoryEntry is now an abstract base class, use one of the
5981
concrete InventoryDirectory etc classes instead.
5982
5983
* Branch raises an UnsupportedFormatError when it detects a
5984
bzr branch it cannot understand. This allows for precise
5985
handling of such circumstances.
5986
5987
* Remove RevisionReference class; ``Revision.parent_ids`` is now simply a
5988
list of their ids and ``parent_sha1s`` is a list of their corresponding
5989
sha1s (for old branches only at the moment.)
5990
5991
* New method-object style interface for Commit() and Fetch().
5992
5993
* Renamed ``Branch.last_patch()`` to ``Branch.last_revision()``, since
5994
we call them revisions not patches.
5995
5996
* Move ``copy_branch`` to ``bzrlib.clone.copy_branch``. The destination
5997
directory is created if it doesn't exist.
5998
5999
* Inventories now identify the files which were present by
6000
giving the revision *of that file*.
6001
6002
* Inventory and Revision XML contains a version identifier.
6003
This must be consistent with the overall branch version
6004
but allows for more flexibility in future upgrades.
6005
6006
TESTING:
6007
6008
* Removed testsweet module so that tests can be run after
6009
bzr installed by 'bzr selftest'.
6010
6011
* 'bzr selftest' command-line arguments can now be partial ids
6012
of tests to run, e.g. ``bzr selftest test_weave``
6013
6014
6015
bzr 0.0.9 2005-09-23
6016
--------------------
6017
6018
BUG FIXES:
6019
6020
* Fixed "branch -r" option.
6021
6022
* Fix remote access to branches containing non-compressed history.
6023
(Robert Collins).
6024
6025
* Better reliability of http server tests. (John Arbash-Meinel)
6026
6027
* Merge graph maximum distance calculation fix. (Aaron Bentley)
6028
6029
* Various minor bug in windows support have been fixed, largely in the
6030
test suite. Contributed by Alexander Belchenko.
6031
6032
IMPROVEMENTS:
6033
6034
* Status now accepts a -r argument to give status between chosen
6035
revisions. Contributed by Heikki Paajanen.
6036
6037
* Revision arguments no longer use +/-/= to control ranges, instead
6038
there is a 'before' namespace, which limits the successive namespace.
6039
For example '$ bzr log -r date:yesterday..before:date:today' will
6040
select everything from yesterday and before today. Contributed by
6041
Robey Pointer
6042
6043
* There is now a bzr.bat file created by distutils when building on
6044
Windows. Contributed by Alexander Belchenko.
6045
6046
INTERNALS:
6047
6048
* Removed uuid() as it was unused.
6049
6050
* Improved 'fetch' code for pulling revisions from one branch into
6051
another (used by pull, merged, etc.)
6052
6053
6054
bzr 0.0.8 2005-09-20
6055
--------------------
6056
6057
IMPROVEMENTS:
6058
6059
* Adding a file whose parent directory is not versioned will
6060
implicitly add the parent, and so on up to the root. This means
6061
you should never need to explictly add a directory, they'll just
6062
get added when you add a file in the directory. Contributed by
6063
Michael Ellerman.
6064
6065
* Ignore ``.DS_Store`` (contains Mac metadata) by default.
6066
(Nir Soffer)
6067
6068
* If you set ``BZR_EDITOR`` in the environment, it is checked in
6069
preference to EDITOR and the config file for the interactive commit
6070
editing program. Related to this is a bugfix where a missing program
6071
set in EDITOR would cause editing to fail, now the fallback program
6072
for the operating system is still tried.
6073
6074
* Files that are not directories/symlinks/regular files will no longer
6075
cause bzr to fail, it will just ignore them by default. You cannot add
6076
them to the tree though - they are not versionable.
6077
6078
6079
INTERNALS:
6080
6081
* Refactor xml packing/unpacking.
6082
6083
BUG FIXES:
6084
6085
* Fixed 'bzr mv' by Ollie Rutherfurd.
6086
6087
* Fixed strange error when trying to access a nonexistent http
6088
branch.
6089
6090
* Make sure that the hashcache gets written out if it can't be
6091
read.
6092
6093
6094
PORTABILITY:
6095
6096
* Various Windows fixes from Ollie Rutherfurd.
6097
6098
* Quieten warnings about locking; patch from Matt Lavin.
6099
6100
6101
bzr-0.0.7 2005-09-02
6102
--------------------
6103
6104
NEW FEATURES:
6105
6106
* ``bzr shell-complete`` command contributed by Clint Adams to
6107
help with intelligent shell completion.
6108
6109
* New expert command ``bzr find-merge-base`` for debugging merges.
6110
6111
6112
ENHANCEMENTS:
6113
6114
* Much better merge support.
6115
6116
* merge3 conflicts are now reported with markers like '<<<<<<<'
6117
(seven characters) which is the same as CVS and pleases things
6118
like emacs smerge.
6119
6120
6121
BUG FIXES:
6122
6123
* ``bzr upgrade`` no longer fails when trying to fix trees that
6124
mention revisions that are not present.
6125
6126
* Fixed bugs in listing plugins from ``bzr plugins``.
6127
6128
* Fix case of $EDITOR containing options for the editor.
6129
6130
* Fix log -r refusing to show the last revision.
6131
(Patch from Goffredo Baroncelli.)
6132
6133
6134
CHANGES:
6135
6136
* ``bzr log --show-ids`` shows the revision ids of all parents.
6137
6138
* Externally provided commands on your $BZRPATH no longer need
6139
to recognize --bzr-usage to work properly, and can just handle
6140
--help themselves.
6141
6142
6143
LIBRARY:
6144
6145
* Changed trace messages to go through the standard logging
6146
framework, so that they can more easily be redirected by
6147
libraries.
6148
6149
6150
6151
bzr-0.0.6 2005-08-18
6152
--------------------
6153
6154
NEW FEATURES:
6155
6156
* Python plugins, automatically loaded from the directories on
6157
``BZR_PLUGIN_PATH`` or ``~/.bzr.conf/plugins`` by default.
6158
6159
* New 'bzr mkdir' command.
6160
6161
* Commit mesage is fetched from an editor if not given on the
6162
command line; patch from Torsten Marek.
6163
6164
* ``bzr log -m FOO`` displays commits whose message matches regexp
6165
FOO.
6166
6167
* ``bzr add`` with no arguments adds everything under the current directory.
6168
6169
* ``bzr mv`` does move or rename depending on its arguments, like
6170
the Unix command.
6171
6172
* ``bzr missing`` command shows a summary of the differences
6173
between two trees. (Merged from John Arbash-Meinel.)
6174
6175
* An email address for commits to a particular tree can be
6176
specified by putting it into .bzr/email within a branch. (Based
6177
on a patch from Heikki Paajanen.)
6178
6179
6180
ENHANCEMENTS:
6181
6182
* Faster working tree operations.
6183
6184
6185
CHANGES:
6186
6187
* 3rd-party modules shipped with bzr are copied within the bzrlib
6188
python package, so that they can be installed by the setup
6189
script without clashing with anything already existing on the
6190
system. (Contributed by Gustavo Niemeyer.)
6191
6192
* Moved plugins directory to bzrlib/, so that there's a standard
6193
plugin directory which is not only installed with bzr itself but
6194
is also available when using bzr from the development tree.
6195
``BZR_PLUGIN_PATH`` and ``DEFAULT_PLUGIN_PATH`` are then added to the
6196
standard plugins directory.
6197
6198
* When exporting to a tarball with ``bzr export --format tgz``, put
6199
everything under a top directory rather than dumping it into the
6200
current directory. This can be overridden with the ``--root``
6201
option. Patch from William Dodé and John Meinel.
6202
6203
* New ``bzr upgrade`` command to upgrade the format of a branch,
6204
replacing ``bzr check --update``.
6205
6206
* Files within store directories are no longer marked readonly on
6207
disk.
6208
6209
* Changed ``bzr log`` output to a more compact form suggested by
6210
John A Meinel. Old format is available with the ``--long`` or
6211
``-l`` option, patched by William Dodé.
6212
6213
* By default the commit command refuses to record a revision with
6214
no changes unless the ``--unchanged`` option is given.
6215
6216
* The ``--no-plugins``, ``--profile`` and ``--builtin`` command
6217
line options must come before the command name because they
6218
affect what commands are available; all other options must come
6219
after the command name because their interpretation depends on
6220
it.
6221
6222
* ``branch`` and ``clone`` added as aliases for ``branch``.
6223
6224
* Default log format is back to the long format; the compact one
6225
is available with ``--short``.
6226
6227
6228
BUG FIXES:
6229
6230
* Fix bugs in committing only selected files or within a subdirectory.
6231
6232
6233
bzr-0.0.5 2005-06-15
6234
---------------------
6235
6236
CHANGES:
6237
6238
* ``bzr`` with no command now shows help rather than giving an
6239
error. Suggested by Michael Ellerman.
6240
6241
* ``bzr status`` output format changed, because svn-style output
6242
doesn't really match the model of bzr. Now files are grouped by
6243
status and can be shown with their IDs. ``bzr status --all``
6244
shows all versioned files and unknown files but not ignored files.
6245
6246
* ``bzr log`` runs from most-recent to least-recent, the reverse
6247
of the previous order. The previous behaviour can be obtained
6248
with the ``--forward`` option.
6249
6250
* ``bzr inventory`` by default shows only filenames, and also ids
6251
if ``--show-ids`` is given, in which case the id is the second
6252
field.
6253
6254
6255
ENHANCEMENTS:
6256
6257
* New 'bzr whoami --email' option shows only the email component
6258
of the user identification, from Jo Vermeulen.
6259
6260
* New ``bzr ignore PATTERN`` command.
6261
6262
* Nicer error message for broken pipe, interrupt and similar
6263
conditions that don't indicate an internal error.
6264
6265
* Add ``.*.sw[nop] .git .*.tmp *,v`` to default ignore patterns.
6266
6267
* Per-branch locks keyed on ``.bzr/branch-lock``, available in
6268
either read or write mode.
6269
6270
* New option ``bzr log --show-ids`` shows revision and file ids.
6271
6272
* New usage ``bzr log FILENAME`` shows only revisions that
6273
affected that file.
6274
6275
* Changed format for describing changes in ``bzr log -v``.
6276
6277
* New option ``bzr commit --file`` to take a message from a file,
6278
suggested by LarstiQ.
6279
6280
* New syntax ``bzr status [FILE...]`` contributed by Bartosz
6281
Oler. File may be in a branch other than the working directory.
6282
6283
* ``bzr log`` and ``bzr root`` can be given an http URL instead of
6284
a filename.
6285
6286
* Commands can now be defined by external programs or scripts
6287
in a directory on $BZRPATH.
6288
6289
* New "stat cache" avoids reading the contents of files if they
6290
haven't changed since the previous time.
6291
6292
* If the Python interpreter is too old, try to find a better one
6293
or give an error. Based on a patch from Fredrik Lundh.
6294
6295
* New optional parameter ``bzr info [BRANCH]``.
6296
6297
* New form ``bzr commit SELECTED`` to commit only selected files.
6298
6299
* New form ``bzr log -r FROM:TO`` shows changes in selected
6300
range; contributed by John A Meinel.
6301
6302
* New option ``bzr diff --diff-options 'OPTS'`` allows passing
6303
options through to an external GNU diff.
6304
6305
* New option ``bzr add --no-recurse`` to add a directory but not
6306
their contents.
6307
6308
* ``bzr --version`` now shows more information if bzr is being run
6309
from a branch.
6310
6311
6312
BUG FIXES:
6313
6314
* Fixed diff format so that added and removed files will be
6315
handled properly by patch. Fix from Lalo Martins.
6316
6317
* Various fixes for files whose names contain spaces or other
6318
metacharacters.
6319
6320
6321
TESTING:
6322
6323
* Converted black-box test suites from Bourne shell into Python;
6324
now run using ``./testbzr``. Various structural improvements to
6325
the tests.
6326
6327
* testbzr by default runs the version of bzr found in the same
6328
directory as the tests, or the one given as the first parameter.
6329
6330
* testbzr also runs the internal tests, so the only command
6331
required to check is just ``./testbzr``.
6332
6333
* testbzr requires python2.4, but can be used to test bzr running
6334
under a different version.
6335
6336
* Tests added for many other changes in this release.
6337
6338
6339
INTERNAL:
6340
6341
* Included ElementTree library upgraded to 1.2.6 by Fredrik Lundh.
6342
6343
* Refactor command functions into Command objects based on HCT by
6344
Scott James Remnant.
6345
6346
* Better help messages for many commands.
6347
6348
* Expose ``bzrlib.open_tracefile()`` to start the tracefile; until
6349
this is called trace messages are just discarded.
6350
6351
* New internal function ``find_touching_revisions()`` and hidden
6352
command touching-revisions trace the changes to a given file.
6353
6354
* Simpler and faster ``compare_inventories()`` function.
6355
6356
* ``bzrlib.open_tracefile()`` takes a tracefilename parameter.
6357
6358
* New AtomicFile class.
6359
6360
* New developer commands ``added``, ``modified``.
6361
6362
6363
PORTABILITY:
6364
6365
* Cope on Windows on python2.3 by using the weaker random seed.
6366
2.4 is now only recommended.
6367
6368
6369
bzr-0.0.4 2005-04-22
6370
---------------------
6371
6372
ENHANCEMENTS:
6373
6374
* 'bzr diff' optionally takes a list of files to diff. Still a bit
6375
basic. Patch from QuantumG.
6376
6377
* More default ignore patterns.
6378
6379
* New 'bzr log --verbose' shows a list of files changed in the
6380
changeset. Patch from Sebastian Cote.
6381
6382
* Roll over ~/.bzr.log if it gets too large.
6383
6384
* Command abbreviations 'ci', 'st', 'stat', '?' based on a patch
6385
by Jason Diamon.
6386
6387
* New 'bzr help commands' based on a patch from Denys Duchier.
6388
6389
6390
CHANGES:
6391
6392
* User email is determined by looking at $BZREMAIL or ~/.bzr.email
6393
or $EMAIL. All are decoded by the locale preferred encoding.
6394
If none of these are present user@hostname is used. The host's
6395
fully-qualified name is not used because that tends to fail when
6396
there are DNS problems.
6397
6398
* New 'bzr whoami' command instead of username user-email.
6399
6400
6401
BUG FIXES:
6402
6403
* Make commit safe for hardlinked bzr trees.
6404
6405
* Some Unicode/locale fixes.
6406
6407
* Partial workaround for ``difflib.unified_diff`` not handling
6408
trailing newlines properly.
6409
6410
6411
INTERNAL:
6412
6413
* Allow docstrings for help to be in PEP0257 format. Patch from
6414
Matt Brubeck.
6415
6416
* More tests in test.sh.
6417
6418
* Write profile data to a temporary file not into working
6419
directory and delete it when done.
6420
6421
* Smaller .bzr.log with process ids.
6422
6423
6424
PORTABILITY:
6425
6426
* Fix opening of ~/.bzr.log on Windows. Patch from Andrew
6427
Bennetts.
6428
6429
* Some improvements in handling paths on Windows, based on a patch
6430
from QuantumG.
6431
6432
6433
bzr-0.0.3 2005-04-06
6434
---------------------
6435
6436
ENHANCEMENTS:
6437
6438
* New "directories" internal command lists versioned directories
6439
in the tree.
6440
6441
* Can now say "bzr commit --help".
6442
6443
* New "rename" command to rename one file to a different name
6444
and/or directory.
6445
6446
* New "move" command to move one or more files into a different
6447
directory.
6448
6449
* New "renames" command lists files renamed since base revision.
6450
6451
* New cat command contributed by janmar.
6452
6453
CHANGES:
6454
6455
* .bzr.log is placed in $HOME (not pwd) and is always written in
6456
UTF-8. (Probably not a completely good long-term solution, but
6457
will do for now.)
6458
6459
PORTABILITY:
6460
6461
* Workaround for difflib bug in Python 2.3 that causes an
6462
exception when comparing empty files. Reported by Erik Toubro
6463
Nielsen.
6464
6465
INTERNAL:
6466
6467
* Refactored inventory storage to insert a root entry at the top.
6468
6469
TESTING:
6470
6471
* Start of shell-based black-box testing in test.sh.
6472

6482
bzr-0.0.2 "black cube" 2005-03-31
6483
-----------------------------------
6484
6485
ENHANCEMENTS:
6486
6487
* Default ignore list extended (see bzrlib/__init__.py).
6488
6489
* Patterns in .bzrignore are now added to the default ignore list,
6490
rather than replacing it.
6491
6492
* Ignore list isn't reread for every file.
6493
6494
* More help topics.
6495
6496
* Reinstate the 'bzr check' command to check invariants of the
6497
branch.
6498
6499
* New 'ignored' command lists which files are ignored and why;
6500
'deleted' lists files deleted in the current working tree.
6501
6502
* Performance improvements.
6503
6504
* New global --profile option.
6505
6506
* Ignore patterns like './config.h' now correctly match files in
6507
the root directory only.
6508
6509
6510
bzr-0.0.1 2005-03-26
6511
---------------------
6512
6513
ENHANCEMENTS:
6514
6515
* More information from info command.
6516
6517
* Can now say "bzr help COMMAND" for more detailed help.
6518
6519
* Less file flushing and faster performance when writing logs and
6520
committing to stores.
6521
6522
* More useful verbose output from some commands.
6523
6524
BUG FIXES:
6525
6526
* Fix inverted display of 'R' and 'M' during 'commit -v'.
6527
6528
PORTABILITY:
6529
6530
* Include a subset of ElementTree-1.2.20040618 to make
6531
installation easier.
6532
6533
* Fix time.localtime call to work with Python 2.3 (the minimum
6534
supported).

6537
bzr-0.0.0.69 2005-03-22
6538
------------------------
6539
6540
ENHANCEMENTS:
6541
6542
* First public release.
6543
6544
* Storage of local versions: init, add, remove, rm, info, log,
6545
diff, status, etc.
