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
* Better message about incompatible repositories.
41
(Martin Pool, #206258)
42
43
* ``bzr branch --stacked`` ensures the destination branch format can
44
support stacking, even if the origin does not.
45
(Martin Pool)
46
47
* Fix a test case that was failing if encoding wasn't UTF-8.
48
(John Arbash Meinel, #247585)
49
50
* Fix "no buffer space available" error when branching with the new
51
smart server protocol to or from Windows.
52
(Andrew Bennetts, #246180)
53
54
55
DOCUMENTATION:
56
57
58
TESTING:
59
60
61
API CHANGES:
62
63
* The generic fetch code now uses three attributes on Repository objects
64
to control fetch. The streams requested are controlled via :
65
``_fetch_order`` and ``_fetch_uses_deltas``. Setting these
66
appropriately allows different repository implementations to recieve
67
data in their optimial form. If the ``_fetch_reconcile`` is set then
68
a reconcile operation is triggered at the end of the fetch.
69
(Robert Collins)
70
71
* The ``put_on_disk`` and ``get_tar_item`` methods in
72
``InventoryEntry`` were deprecated. (Ian Clatworthy)
73
74
* ``Repository.is_shared`` doesn't take a read lock. It didn't
75
need one in the first place (nobody cached the value, and
76
``RemoteRepository`` wasn't taking one either). This saves a round
77
trip when probing Pack repositories, as they read the ``pack-names``
78
file when locked. And during probe, locking the repo isn't very
79
useful. (John Arbash Meinel)
80
81
82
INTERNALS:
83
84
* The code for exporting trees was refactored not to use the
85
deprecated ``InventoryEntry`` methods. (Ian Clatworthy)
86
87
* RuleSearchers return () instead of [] now when there are no matches.
88
(Ian Clatworthy)
89
90
* ``bzrlib.branchbuilder.BranchBuilder`` is now much more capable of
91
putting together a real history without having to create a full
92
WorkingTree. It is recommended that tests that are not directly
93
testing the WorkingTree use BranchBuilder instead. See
94
``BranchBuilder.build_snapshot`` or
95
``TestCaseWithMemoryTree.make_branch_builder``. (John Arbash Meinel)
96
97
98
bzr 1.6beta3 2008-07-17
99
-----------------------
100
101
FEATURES:
102
103
* New ``pre_change_branch_tip`` hook that is called before the
104
branch tip is moved, while the branch is write-locked. See the User
105
Reference for signature details. (Andrew Bennetts)
106
107
* Rule-based preferences can now be defined for selected files in
108
selected branches, allowing commands and plugins to provide
109
custom behaviour for files matching defined patterns.
110
See ``Rule-based preferences`` (part of ``Configuring Bazaar``)
111
in the User Guide and ``bzr help rules`` for more information.
112
(Ian Clatworthy)
113
114
* Sites may suggest a branch to stack new branches on. (Aaron Bentley)
115
116
* Stacked branches are now supported. See ``bzr help branch`` and
117
``bzr help push``. (Robert Collins)
118
119
IMPROVEMENTS:
120
121
* ``bzr export --format=tgz --root=NAME -`` to export a gzipped tarball
122
to stdout; also ``tar`` and ``tbz2``.
123
(Martin Pool)
124
125
* ``bzr (re)merge --weave`` will now use a standard Weave algorithm,
126
rather than the annotation-based merge it was using. It does so by
127
building up a Weave of the important texts, without needing to build
128
the full ancestry. (John Arbash Meinel, #238895)
129
130
* ``bzr send`` documents and better supports ``emacsclient`` (proper
131
escaping of mail headers and handling of the MUA Mew).
132
(Christophe Troestler)
133
134
* Remembered locations can be specified by aliases, e.g. :parent, :public,
135
:submit. (Aaron Bentley)
136
137
* The smart protocol now has improved support for setting branches'
138
revision info directly. This makes operations like push
139
faster. The new request method name is
140
``Branch.set_last_revision_ex``. (Andrew Bennetts)
141
142
* New registry for log properties handles and the method in
143
LongLogFormatter to display the custom properties returned by the
144
registered handlers. (Guillermo Gonzalez, #162469)
145
146
BUG FIXES:
147
148
* Bazaar is now able to be a client to the web server of IIS 6 and 7.
149
The broken implementations of RFC822 in Python and RFC2046 in IIS
150
combined with boundary-line checking in Bazaar previously made this
151
impossible. (NB, IIS 5 does not suffer from this problem).
152
(Adrian Wilkins, #247585)
153
154
* ``bzr log --long`` with a ghost in your mainline now handles that
155
ghost properly. (John Arbash Meinel, #243536)
156
157
* ``check`` handles the split-up .bzr layout correctly, so no longer
158
requires a branch to be present.
159
(Daniel Watkins, #64783)
160
161
* ``bzr serve --directory=/`` now correctly allows the whole
162
filesystem to be accessed on Windows, not just the root of the drive
163
that Python is running from.
164
(Adrian Wilkins, #240910)
165
166
* Clearer message about how to set the PYTHONPATH if bzrlib can't be
167
loaded.
168
(Martin Pool, #205230)
169
170
* Errors about missing libraries are now shown without a traceback,
171
and with a suggestion to install the library. The full traceback is
172
still in ``.bzr.log`` and can be shown with ``-Derror``.
173
(Martin Pool, #240161)
174
175
* Fixed problem in branching from smart server.
176
(#249256, Michael Hudson, Martin Pool)
177
178
* Fetch from a stacked branch copies all required data.
179
(Aaron Bentley, #248506)
180
181
* Handle urls such as ftp://user@host.com@www.host.com where the user
182
name contains an @.
183
(Neil Martinsen-Burrell, #228058)
184
185
* ``needs_read_lock`` and ``needs_write_lock`` now suppress an error during
186
``unlock`` if there was an error in the original function. This helps
187
most when there is a failure with a smart server action, since often the
188
connection closes and we cannot unlock.
189
(Andrew Bennetts, John Arbash Meinel, #125784)
190
191
* Obsolete hidden command ``bzr fetch`` removed.
192
(Martin Pool, #172870)
193
194
* Raise the correct exception when doing ``-rbefore:0`` or ``-c0``.
195
(John Arbash Meinel, #239933)
196
197
* You can now compare file revisions in Windows diff programs from
198
Cygwin Bazaar.
199
(Matt McClure, #209281)
200
201
* revision_history now tolerates mainline ghosts for Branch format 6.
202
(Aaron Bentley, #235055)
203
204
* Set locale from environment for third party libs.
205
(Martin von Gagern, #128496)
206
207
* Handle a file turning in to a directory in TreeTransform.
208
(James Westby, #248448)
209
210
DOCUMENTATION:
211
212
* Added *Using stacked branches* to the User Guide.
213
(Ian Clatworthy)
214
215
* Updated developer documentation.
216
(Martin Pool)
217
218
TESTING:
219
220
* ``-Dmemory`` will cause /proc/PID/status to be catted before bzr
221
exits, allowing low-key analysis of peak memory use. (Robert Collins)
222
223
* ``TestCaseWithTransport.make_branch_and_tree`` tries harder to return
224
a tree with a ``branch`` attribute of the right format. This was
225
preventing some ``RemoteBranch`` tests from actually running with
226
``RemoteBranch`` instances. (Andrew Bennetts)
227
228
API CHANGES:
229
230
* Removed ``Repository.text_store``, ``control_store``, etc. Instead,
231
there are new attributes ``texts, inventories, revisions,
232
signatures``, each of which is a ``VersionedFiles``. See the
233
Repository docstring for more details.
234
(Robert Collins)
235
236
* ``Branch.pull`` now accepts an ``_override_hook_target`` optional
237
parameter. If you have a subclass of ``Branch`` that overrides
238
``pull`` then you should add this parameter. (Andrew Bennetts)
239
240
* ``bzrlib.check.check()`` has been deprecated in favour of the more
241
aptly-named ``bzrlib.check.check_branch()``.
242
(Daniel Watkins)
243
244
* ``Tree.print_file`` and ``Repository.print_file`` are deprecated.
245
These methods are bad APIs because they write directly to sys.stdout.
246
bzrlib does not use them internally, and there are no direct tests
247
for them. (Alexander Belchenko)
248
249
INTERNALS:
250
251
* ``cat`` command no longer uses ``Tree.print_file()`` internally.
252
(Alexander Belchenko)
253
254
* New class method ``BzrDir.open_containing_tree_branch_or_repository``
255
which eases the discovery of the tree, the branch and the repository
256
containing a given location.
257
(Daniel Watkins)
258
259
* New ``versionedfile.KeyMapper`` interface to abstract out the access to
260
underlying .knit/.kndx etc files in repositories with partitioned
261
storage. (Robert Collins)
262
263
* Obsolete developer-use command ``weave-join`` has been removed.
264
(Robert Collins)
265
266
* ``RemoteToOtherFetcher`` and ``get_data_stream_for_search`` removed,
267
to support new ``VersionedFiles`` layering.
268
(Robert Collins)
269
270
271
bzr 1.6beta2 2008-06-10
272
-----------------------
273
274
This release contains further progress towards our 1.6 goals of shallow
275
repositories, and contains a fix for some user-affecting bugs in the
276
repository layer. Building working trees during checkout and branch is
277
now faster.
278
279
BUG FIXES:
280
281
* Avoid KnitCorrupt error extracting inventories from some repositories.
282
(The data is not corrupt; an internal check is detecting a problem
283
reading from the repository.)
284
(Martin Pool, Andrew Bennetts, Robert Collins, #234748)
285
286
* ``bzr status`` was breaking if you merged the same revision twice.
287
(John Arbash Meinel, #235407)
288
289
* Fix infinite loop consuming 100% CPU when a connection is lost while
290
reading a response body via the smart protocol v1 or v2.
291
(Andrew Bennetts)
292
293
* Inserting a bundle which changes the contents of a file with no trailing
294
end of line, causing a knit snapshot in a 'knits' repository will no longer
295
cause KnitCorrupt. (Robert Collins)
296
297
* ``RemoteBranch.pull`` needs to return the ``self._real_branch``'s
298
pull result. It was instead just returning None, which breaks ``bzr
299
pull``. (John Arbash Meinel, #238149)
300
301
* Sanitize branch nick before using it as an attachment filename in
302
``bzr send``. (Lukáš Lalinský, #210218)
303
304
* Squash ``inv_entry.symlink_target`` to a plain string when
305
generating DirState details. This prevents from getting a
306
``UnicodeError`` when you have symlinks and non-ascii filenames.
307
(John Arbash Meinel, #135320)
308
309
IMPROVEMENTS:
310
311
* Added the 'alias' command to set/unset and display aliases. (Tim Penhey)
312
313
* ``added``, ``modified``, and ``unknowns`` behaviour made consistent (all three
314
now quote paths where required). Added ``--null`` option to ``added`` and
315
``modified`` (for null-separated unknowns, use ``ls --unknown --null``)
316
(Adrian Wilkins)
317
318
* Faster branching (1.09x) and lightweight checkouts (1.06x) on large trees.
319
(Ian Clatworthy, Aaron Bentley)
320
321
DOCUMENTATION:
322
323
* Added *Bazaar Zen* section to the User Guide. (Ian Clatworthy)
324
325
TESTING:
326
327
* Fix the test HTTPServer to be isolated from chdir calls made while it is
328
running, allowing it to be used in blackbox tests. (Robert Collins)
329
330
API CHANGES:
331
332
* ``WorkingTree.set_parent_(ids/trees)`` will now filter out revisions
333
which are in the ancestry of other revisions. So if you merge the same
334
tree twice, or merge an ancestor of an existing merge, it will only
335
record the newest. (If you merge a descendent, it will replace its
336
ancestor). (John Arbash Meinel, #235407)
337
338
* ``RepositoryPolicy.__init__`` now requires stack_on and stack_on_pwd,
339
through the derived classes do not. (Aaron Bentley)
340
341
INTERNALS:
342
343
* ``bzrlib.bzrdir.BzrDir.sprout`` now accepts ``stacked`` to control
344
creating stacked branches. (Robert Collins)
345
346
* Knit record serialisation is now stricter on what it will accept, to
347
guard against potential internal bugs, or broken input. (Robert Collins)
348
349
350
bzr 1.6beta1 2008-06-02
351
-----------------------
352
353
354
Commands that work on the revision history such as push, pull, missing,
355
uncommit and log are now substantially faster. This release adds a
356
translation of some of the user documentation into Spanish. (Contributions of
357
other translations would be very welcome.) Bazaar 1.6beta1 adds a new network
358
protocol which is used by default and which allows for more efficient transfers
359
and future extensions.
360
361
362
NOTES WHEN UPGRADING:
363
364
* There is a new version of the network protocol used for bzr://, bzr+ssh://
365
and bzr+http:// connections. This will allow more efficient requests and
366
responses, and more graceful fallback when a server is too old to
367
recognise a request from a more recent client. Bazaar 1.6 will
368
interoperate with 0.16 and later versions, but servers should be upgraded
369
when possible. Bazaar 1.6 no longer interoperates with 0.15 and earlier via
370
these protocols. Use alternatives like SFTP or upgrade those servers.
371
(Andrew Bennetts, #83935)
372
373
CHANGES:
374
375
* Deprecation warnings will not be suppressed when running ``bzr selftest``
376
so that developers can see if their code is using deprecated functions.
377
(John Arbash Meinel)
378
379
FEATURES:
380
381
* Adding ``-Derror`` will now display a traceback when a plugin fails to
382
load. (James Westby)
383
384
IMPROVEMENTS:
385
386
* ``bzr branch/push/pull -r XXX`` now have a helper function for finding
387
the revno of the new revision (``Graph.find_distance_to_null``). This
388
should make something like ``bzr branch -r -100`` in a shared, no-trees
389
repository much snappier. (John Arbash Meinel)
390
391
* ``bzr log --short -r X..Y`` no longer needs to access the full revision
392
history. This makes it noticeably faster when logging the last few
393
revisions. (John Arbash Meinel)
394
395
* ``bzr ls`` now accepts ``-V`` as an alias for ``--versioned``.
396
(Jerad Cramp, #165086)
397
398
* ``bzr missing`` uses the new ``Graph.find_unique_ancestors`` and
399
``Graph.find_differences`` to determine missing revisions without having
400
to search the whole ancestry. (John Arbash Meinel, #174625)
401
402
* ``bzr uncommit`` now uses partial history access, rather than always
403
extracting the full revision history for a branch. This makes it
404
resolve the appropriate revisions much faster (in testing it drops
405
uncommit from 1.5s => 0.4s). It also means ``bzr log --short`` is one
406
step closer to not using full revision history.
407
(John Arbash Meinel, #172649)
408
409
BUGFIXES:
410
411
* ``bzr merge --lca`` should handle when two revisions have no common
412
ancestor other than NULL_REVISION. (John Arbash Meinel, #235715)
413
414
* ``bzr status`` was breaking if you merged the same revision twice.
415
(John Arbash Meinel, #235407)
416
417
* ``bzr push`` with both ``--overwrite`` and ``-r NNN`` options no longer
418
fails. (Andrew Bennetts, #234229)
419
420
* Correctly track the base URL of a smart medium when using bzr+http://
421
URLs, which was causing spurious "No repository present" errors with
422
branches in shared repositories accessed over bzr+http.
423
(Andrew Bennetts, #230550)
424
425
* Define ``_remote_is_at_least_1_2`` on ``SmartClientMedium`` so that all
426
implementations have the attribute. Fixes 'PyCurlTransport' object has no
427
attribute '_remote_is_at_least_1_2' attribute errors.
428
(Andrew Bennetts, #220806)
429
430
* Failure to delete an obsolete pack file should just give a warning
431
message, not a fatal error. It may for example fail if the file is still
432
in use by another process.
433
(Martin Pool)
434
435
* Fix MemoryError during large fetches over HTTP by limiting the amount of
436
data we try to read per ``recv`` call. The problem was observed with
437
Windows and a proxy, but might affect other environments as well.
438
(Eric Holmberg, #215426)
439
440
* Handle old merge directives correctly in Merger.from_mergeable. Stricter
441
get_parent_map requirements exposed a latent bug here. (Aaron Bentley)
442
443
* Issue a warning and ignore passwords declared in authentication.conf when
444
used for an ssh scheme (sftp or bzr+ssh).
445
(Vincent Ladeuil, #203186)
446
447
* Make both http implementations raise appropriate exceptions on 403
448
Forbidden when POSTing smart requests.
449
(Vincent Ladeuil, #230223)
450
451
* Properly *title* header names in http requests instead of capitalizing
452
them.
453
(Vincent Ladeuil, #229076)
454
455
* The "Unable to obtain lock" error message now also suggests using
456
``bzr break-lock`` to fix it. (Martin Albisetti, #139202)
457
458
* Treat an encoding of '' as ascii; this can happen when bzr is run
459
under vim on Mac OS X.
460
(Neil Martinsen-Burrell)
461
462
* ``VersionedFile.make_mpdiffs()`` was raising an exception that wasn't in
463
scope. (Daniel Fischer #235687)
464
465
DOCUMENTATION:
466
467
* Added directory structure and started translation of docs in spanish.
468
(Martin Albisetti, Lucio Albenga)
469
470
* Incorporate feedback from Jelmer Vernooij and Neil Martinsen-Burrell
471
on the plugin and integration chapters of the User Guide.
472
(Ian Clatworthy)
473
474
* More Bazaar developer documentation about packaging and release process,
475
and about use of Python reprs.
476
(Martin Pool, Martin Albisetti)
477
478
* Updated Tortise strategy document. (Mark Hammond)
479
480
TESTING:
481
482
* ``bzrlib.tests.adapt_tests`` was broken and unused - it has been fixed.
483
(Robert Collins)
484
485
* Fix the test HTTPServer to be isolated from chdir calls made while it is
486
running, allowing it to be used in blackbox tests. (Robert Collins)
487
488
* New helper function for splitting test suites
489
``split_suite_by_condition``. (Robert Collins)
490
491
INTERNALS:
492
493
* ``Branch.missing_revisions`` has been deprecated. Similar functionality
494
can be obtained using ``bzrlib.missing.find_unmerged``. The api was
495
fairly broken, and the function was unused, so we are getting rid of it.
496
(John Arbash Meinel)
497
498
API CHANGES:
499
500
* ``Branch.abspath`` is deprecated; use the Tree or Transport
501
instead. (Martin Pool)
502
503
* ``Branch.update_revisions`` now takes an optional ``Graph``
504
object. This can be used by ``update_revisions`` when it is
505
checking ancestry, and allows callers to prefer request to go to a
506
local branch. (John Arbash Meinel)
507
508
* Branch, Repository, Tree and BzrDir should expose a Transport as an
509
attribute if they have one, rather than having it indirectly accessible
510
as ``.control_files._transport``. This doesn't add a requirement
511
to support a Transport in cases where it was not needed before;
512
it just simplifies the way it is reached. (Martin Pool)
513
514
* ``bzr missing --mine-only`` will return status code 0 if you have no
515
new revisions, but the remote does. Similarly for ``--theirs-only``.
516
The new code only checks one side, so it doesn't know if the other
517
side has changes. This seems more accurate with the request anyway.
518
It also changes the output to print '[This|Other] branch is up to
519
date.' rather than displaying nothing. (John Arbash Meinel)
520
521
* ``LockableFiles.put_utf8``, ``put_bytes`` and ``controlfilename``
522
are now deprecated in favor of using Transport operations.
523
(Martin Pool)
524
525
* Many methods on ``VersionedFile``, ``Repository`` and in
526
``bzrlib.revision`` deprecated before bzrlib 1.5 have been removed.
527
(Robert Collins)
528
529
* ``RevisionSpec.wants_revision_history`` can be set to False for a given
530
``RevisionSpec``. This will disable the existing behavior of passing in
531
the full revision history to ``self._match_on``. Useful for specs that
532
don't actually need access to the full history. (John Arbash Meinel)
533
534
* The constructors of ``SmartClientMedium`` and its subclasses now require a
535
``base`` parameter. ``SmartClientMedium`` implementations now also need
536
to provide a ``remote_path_from_transport`` method. (Andrew Bennetts)
537
538
* The default permissions for creating new files and directories
539
should now be obtained from ``BzrDir._get_file_mode()`` and
540
``_get_dir_mode()``, rather than from LockableFiles. The ``_set_file_mode``
541
and ``_set_dir_mode`` variables on LockableFiles which were advertised
542
as a way for plugins to control this are no longer consulted.
543
(Martin Pool)
544
545
* ``VersionedFile.join`` is deprecated. This method required local
546
instances of both versioned file objects and was thus hostile to being
547
used for streaming from a smart server. The new get_record_stream and
548
insert_record_stream are meant to efficiently replace this method.
549
(Robert Collins)
550
551
* ``WorkingTree.set_parent_(ids/trees)`` will now filter out revisions
552
which are in the ancestry of other revisions. So if you merge the same
553
tree twice, or merge an ancestor of an existing merge, it will only
554
record the newest. (If you merge a descendent, it will replace its
555
ancestor). (John Arbash Meinel, #235407)
556
557
* ``WorkingTreeFormat2.stub_initialize_remote`` is now private.
558

bzr 1.5 2008-05-16
562
------------------
563
564
This release of Bazaar includes several updates to the documentation, and fixes
565
to prepare for making rich root support the default format. Many bugs have been
566
squashed, including fixes to log, bzr+ssh inter-operation with older servers.
567
568
CHANGES:
569
570
* Suppress deprecation warnings when bzrlib is a 'final' release. This way
571
users of packaged software won't be bothered with DeprecationWarnings,
572
but developers and testers will still see them. (John Arbash Meinel)
573
574
DOCUMENTATION:
575
576
* Incorporate feedback from Jelmer Vernooij and Neil Martinsen-Burrell
577
on the plugin and integration chapters of the User Guide.

582
---------------------
583
584
NOTES WHEN UPGRADING:
585
586
CHANGES:
587
588
* Broader support of GNU Emacs mail clients. Set
589
``mail_client=emacsclient`` in your bazaar.conf and ``send`` will pop the
590
bundle in a mail buffer according to the value of ``mail-user-agent``
591
variable. (Xavier Maillard)
592
593
FEATURES:
594
595
IMPROVEMENTS:
596
597
* Diff now handles revision specs like "branch:" and "submit:" more
598
efficiently. (Aaron Bentley, #202928)
599
600
* More friendly error given when attempt to start the smart server
601
on an address already in use. (Andrea Corbellini, #200575)
602
603
* Pull completes much faster when there is nothing to pull.
604
(Aaron Bentley)
605
606
BUGFIXES:
607
608
* Authentication.conf can define sections without password.
609
(Vincent Ladeuil, #199440)
610
611
* Avoid muttering every time a child update does not cause a progress bar
612
update. (John Arbash Meinel, #213771)
613
614
* ``Branch.reconcile()`` is now implemented. This allows ``bzr reconcile``
615
to fix when a Branch has a non-canonical mainline history. ``bzr check``
616
also detects this condition. (John Arbash Meinel, #177855)
617
618
* ``bzr log -r ..X bzr://`` was failing, because it was getting a request
619
for ``revision_id=None`` which was not a string.
620
(John Arbash Meinel, #211661)
621
622
* ``bzr commit`` now works with Microsoft's FTP service.
623
(Andreas Deininger)
624
625
* Catch definitions outside sections in authentication.conf.
626
(Vincent Ladeuil, #217650)
627
628
* Conversion from non-rich-root to rich-root(-pack) updates inventory
629
sha1s, even when bundles are used. (Aaron Bentley, #181391)
630
631
* Conversion from non-rich-root to rich-root(-pack) works correctly even
632
though search keys are not topologically sorted. (Aaron Bentley)
633
634
* Conversion from non-rich-root to rich-root(-pack) works even when a
635
parent revision has a different root id. (Aaron Bentley, #177874)
636
637
* Disable strace testing until strace is fixed (see bug #103133) and emit a
638
warning when selftest ends to remind us of leaking tests.
639
(Vincent Ladeuil, #226769)
640
641
* Fetching all revisions from a repository does not cause pack collisions.
642
(Robert Collins, Aaron Bentley, #212908)
643
644
* Fix error about "attempt to add line-delta in non-delta knit".
645
(Andrew Bennetts, #217701)
646
647
* Pushing a branch in "dirstate" format (Branch5) over bzr+ssh would break
648
if the remote server was < version 1.2. This was due to a bug in the
649
RemoteRepository.get_parent_map() fallback code.
650
(John Arbash Meinel, #214894)
651
652
* Remove leftover code in ``bzr_branch`` that inappropriately creates
653
a ``branch-name`` file in the branch control directory.
654
(Martin Pool)
655
656
* Set SO_REUSEADDR on server sockets of ``bzr serve`` to avoid problems
657
rebinding the socket when starting the server a second time.
658
(John Arbash Meinel, Martin Pool, #164288)
659
660
* Severe performance degradation in fetching from knit repositories to
661
knits and packs due to parsing the entire revisions.kndx on every graph
662
walk iteration fixed by using the Repository.get_graph API. There was
663
another regression in knit => knit fetching which re-read the index for
664
every revision each side had in common.
665
(Robert Collins, John Arbash Meinel)
666
667
* When logging the changes to a particular file, there was a bug if there
668
were ghosts in the revision ancestry. (John Arbash Meinel, #209948)
669
670
* xs4all's ftp server returns a temporary error when trying to list an
671
empty directory, rather than returning an empty list. Adding a
672
workaround so that we don't get spurious failures.
673
(John Arbash Meinel, #215522)
674
675
DOCUMENTATION:
676
677
* Expanded the User Guide to include new chapters on popular plugins and
678
integrating Bazaar into your environment. The *Best practices* chapter
679
was renamed to *Miscellaneous topics* as suggested by community
680
feedback as well. (Ian Clatworthy)
681
682
* Document outlining strategies for TortoiseBzr. (Mark Hammond)
683
684
* Improved the documentation on hooks. (Ian Clatworthy)
685
686
* Update authentication docs regarding ssh agents.
687
(Vincent Ladeuil, #183705)
688
689
TESTING:
690
691
* Add ``thread_name_suffix`` parameter to SmartTCPServer_for_testing, to
692
make it easy to identify which test spawned a thread with an unhandled
693
exception. (Andrew Bennetts)
694
695
* New ``--debugflag``/``-E`` option to ``bzr selftest`` for setting
696
options for debugging tests, these are complementary to the the -D
697
options. The ``-Dselftest_debug`` global option has been replaced by the
698
``-E=allow_debug`` option for selftest. (Andrew Bennetts)
699
700
* Parameterised test ids are preserved correctly to aid diagnosis of test
701
failures. (Robert Collins, Andrew Bennetts)
702
703
* selftest now accepts --starting-with <id> to load only the tests whose id
704
starts with the one specified. This greatly speeds up running the test
705
suite on a limited set of tests and can be used to run the tests for a
706
single module, a single class or even a single test. (Vincent Ladeuil)
707
708
* The test suite modules have been modified to define load_tests() instead
709
of test_suite(). That speeds up selective loading (via --load-list)
710
significantly and provides many examples on how to migrate (grep for
711
load_tests). (Vincent Ladeuil)
712
713
INTERNALS:
714
715
* ``Hooks.install_hook`` is now deprecated in favour of
716
``Hooks.install_named_hook`` which adds a required ``name`` parameter, to
717
avoid having to call ``Hooks.name_hook``. (Daniel Watkins)
718
719
* Implement xml8 serializer. (Aaron Bentley)
720
721
* New form ``@deprecated_method(deprecated_in(1, 5, 0))`` for making
722
deprecation wrappers. (Martin Pool)
723
724
* ``Repository.revision_parents`` is now deprecated in favour of
725
``Repository.get_parent_map([revid])[revid]``. (Jelmer Vernooij)
726
727
* The Python ``assert`` statement is no longer used in Bazaar source, and
728
a test checks this. (Martin Pool)
729
730
API CHANGES:
731
732
* ``bzrlib.status.show_pending_merges`` requires the repository to be
733
locked by the caller. Callers should have been doing it anyway, but it
734
will now raise an exception if they do not. (John Arbash Meinel)
735
736
* Repository.get_data_stream, Repository.get_data_stream_for_search(),
737
Repository.get_deltas_for_revsions(), Repository.revision_trees(),
738
Repository.item_keys_introduced_by() no longer take read locks.
739
(Aaron Bentley)
740
741
* ``LockableFiles.get_utf8`` and ``.get`` are deprecated, as a start
742
towards removing LockableFiles and ``.control_files`` entirely.
743
(Martin Pool)
744
745
* Methods deprecated prior to 1.1 have been removed.

bzr 1.4 2008-04-28
750
------------------
751
752
This release of Bazaar includes handy improvements to the speed of log and
753
status, new options for several commands, improved documentation, and better
754
hooks, including initial code for server-side hooks. A number of bugs have
755
been fixed, particularly in interoperability between different formats or
756
different releases of Bazaar over there network. There's been substantial
757
internal work in both the repository and network code to enable new features
758
and faster performance.
759
760
BUG FIXES:
761
762
* Pushing a branch in "dirstate" format (Branch5) over bzr+ssh would break
763
if the remote server was < version 1.2. This was due to a bug in the
764
RemoteRepository.get_parent_map() fallback code.

bzr 1.4rc2 2008-04-21
769
---------------------
770
771
BUG FIXES:
772
773
* ``bzr log -r ..X bzr://`` was failing, because it was getting a request
774
for ``revision_id=None`` which was not a string.
775
(John Arbash Meinel, #211661)
776
777
* Fixed a bug in handling ghost revisions when logging changes in a
778
particular file. (John Arbash Meinel, #209948)
779
780
* Fix error about "attempt to add line-delta in non-delta knit".
781
(Andrew Bennetts, #205156)
782
783
* Fixed performance degradation in fetching from knit repositories to
784
knits and packs due to parsing the entire revisions.kndx on every graph
785
walk iteration fixed by using the Repository.get_graph API. There was

another regression in knit => knit fetching which re-read the index for

bzr 1.4rc1 2008-04-11
792
---------------------
793
794
CHANGES:
795
796
* bzr main script cannot be imported (Benjamin Peterson)
797
798
* On Linux bzr additionally looks for plugins in arch-independent site
799
directory. (Toshio Kuratomi)
800
801
* The ``set_rh`` branch hook is now deprecated. Please migrate
802
any plugins using this hook to use an alternative, e.g.
803
``post_change_branch_tip``. (Ian Clatworthy)
804
805
* When a plugin cannot be loaded as the file path is not a valid
806
python module name bzr will now strip a ``bzr_`` prefix from the
807
front of the suggested name, as many plugins (e.g. bzr-svn)
808
want to be installed without this prefix. It is a common mistake
809
to have a folder named "bzr-svn" for that plugin, especially
810
as this is what bzr branch lp:bzr-svn will give you. (James Westby,
811
Andrew Cowie)
812
813
* UniqueIntegerBugTracker now appends bug-ids instead of joining
814
them to the base URL. Plugins that register bug trackers may
815
need a trailing / added to the base URL if one is not already there.
816
(James Wesby, Andrew Cowie)
817
818
FEATURES:
819
820
* Added start_commit hook for mutable trees. (Jelmer Vernooij, #186422)
821
822
* ``status`` now accepts ``--no-pending`` to show the status without
823
listing pending merges, which speeds up the command a lot on large
824
histories. (James Westby, #202830)
825
826
* New ``post_change_branch_tip`` hook that is called after the
827
branch tip is moved but while the branch is still write-locked.
828
See the User Reference for signature details.
829
(Ian Clatworthy, James Henstridge)
830
831
* Reconfigure can convert a branch to be standalone or to use a shared
832
repository. (Aaron Bentley)
833
834
IMPROVEMENTS:
835
836
* The smart protocol now has support for setting branches' revision info
837
directly. This should make operations like push slightly faster, and is a
838
step towards server-side hooks. The new request method name is
839
``Branch.set_last_revision_info``. (Andrew Bennetts)
840
841
* ``bzr commit --fixes`` now recognises "gnome" as a tag by default.
842
(James Westby, Andrew Cowie)
843
844
* ``bzr switch`` will attempt to find branches to switch to relative to the
845
current branch. E.g. ``bzr switch branchname`` will look for
846
``current_branch/../branchname``. (Robert Collins, Jelmer Vernooij,
847
Wouter van Heyst)
848
849
* Diff is now more specific about execute-bit changes it describes
850
(Chad Miller)
851
852
* Fetching data over HTTP is a bit faster when urllib is used. This is done
853
by forcing it to recv 64k at a time when reading lines in HTTP headers,
854
rather than just 1 byte at a time. (Andrew Bennetts)
855
856
* Log --short and --line are much faster when -r is not specified.
857
(Aaron Bentley)
858
859
* Merge is faster. We no longer check a file's existence unnecessarily
860
when merging the execute bit. (Aaron Bentley)
861
862
* ``bzr status`` on an explicit list of files no longer shows pending
863
merges, making it much faster on large trees. (John Arbash Meinel)
864
865
* The launchpad directory service now warns the user if they have not set
866
their launchpad login and are trying to resolve a URL using it, just
867
in case they want to do a write operation with it. (James Westby)
868
869
* The smart protocol client is slightly faster, because it now only queries
870
the server for the protocol version once per connection. Also, the HTTP
871
transport will now automatically probe for and use a smart server if
872
one is present. You can use the new ``nosmart+`` transport decorator
873
to get the old behaviour. (Andrew Bennetts)
874
875
* The ``version`` command takes a ``--short`` option to print just the
876
version number, for easier use in scripts. (Martin Pool)
877
878
* Various operations with revision specs and commands that calculate
879
revnos and revision ids are faster. (John A. Meinel, Aaron Bentley)
880
881
BUGFIXES:
882
883
* Add ``root_client_path`` parameter to SmartWSGIApp and
884
SmartServerRequest. This makes it possible to publish filesystem
885
locations that don't exactly match URL paths. SmartServerRequest
886
subclasses should use the new ``translate_client_path`` and
887
``transport_from_client_path`` methods when dealing with paths received
888
from a client to take this into account. (Andrew Bennetts, #124089)
889
890
* ``bzr mv a b`` can be now used also to rename previously renamed
891
directories, not only files. (Lukáš Lalinský, #107967)
892
893
* ``bzr uncommit --local`` can now remove revisions from the local
894
branch to be symmetric with ``bzr commit --local``.
895
(John Arbash Meinel, #93412)
896
897
* Don't ask for a password if there is no real terminal.
898
(Alexander Belchenko, #69851)
899
900
* Fix a bug causing a ValueError crash in ``parse_line_delta_iter`` when
901
fetching revisions from a knit to pack repository or vice versa using
902
bzr:// (including over http or ssh).
903
(#208418, Andrew Bennetts, Martin Pool, Robert Collins)
904
905
* Fixed ``_get_line`` in ``bzrlib.smart.medium``, which was buggy. Also
906
fixed ``_get_bytes`` in the same module to use the push back buffer.
907
These bugs had no known impact in normal use, but were problematic for
908
developers working on the code, and were likely to cause real bugs sooner
909
or later. (Andrew Bennetts)
910
911
* Implement handling of basename parameter for DefaultMail. (James Westby)
912
913
* Incompatibility with Paramiko versions newer than 1.7.2 was fixed.
914
(Andrew Bennetts, #213425)
915
916
* Launchpad locations (lp: URLs) can be pulled. (Aaron Bentley, #181945)
917
918
* Merges that add files to deleted root directories complete. They
919
do create conflicts. (Aaron Bentley, #210092)
920
921
* vsftp's return ``550 RNFR command failed.`` supported.
922
(Marcus Trautwig, #129786)
923
924
DOCUMENTATION:
925
926
* Improved documentation on send/merge relationship. (Peter Schuller)
927
928
* Minor fixes to the User Guide. (Matthew Fuller)
929
930
* Reduced the evangelism in the User Guide. (Ian Clatworthy)
931
932
* Added Integrating with Bazaar document for developers (Martin Albisetti)

* Attempting to pull data from a ghost aware repository (e.g. knits) into a
937
non-ghost aware repository such as weaves will now fail if there are
938
ghosts. (Robert Collins)
939
940
* ``KnitVersionedFile`` no longer accepts an ``access_mode`` parameter, and
941
now requires the ``index`` and ``access_method`` parameters to be
942
supplied. A compatible shim has been kept in the new function
943
``knit.make_file_knit``. (Robert Collins)
944
945
* Log formatters must now provide log_revision instead of show and
946
show_merge_revno methods. The latter had been deprecated since the 0.17
947
release. (James Westby)
948
949
* ``LoopbackSFTP`` is now called ``SocketAsChannelAdapter``.
950
(Andrew Bennetts)
951
952
* ``osutils.backup_file`` is removed. (Alexander Belchenko)
953
954
* ``Repository.get_revision_graph`` is deprecated, with no replacement
955
method. The method was size(history) and not desirable. (Robert Collins)
956
957
* ``revision.revision_graph`` is deprecated, with no replacement function.
958
The function was size(history) and not desirable. (Robert Collins)
959
960
* ``Transport.get_shared_medium`` is deprecated. Use
961
``Transport.get_smart_medium`` instead. (Andrew Bennetts)
962
963
* ``VersionedFile`` factories now accept a get_scope parameter rather
964
than using a call to ``transaction_finished``, allowing the removal of
965
the fixed list of versioned files per repository. (Robert Collins)
966
967
* ``VersionedFile.annotate_iter`` is deprecated. While in principle this
968
allowed lower memory use, all users of annotations wanted full file
969
annotations, and there is no storage format suitable for incremental
970
line-by-line annotation. (Robert Collins)
971
972
* ``VersionedFile.clone_text`` is deprecated. This performance optimisation
973
is no longer used - reading the content of a file that is undergoing a
974
file level merge to identical state on two branches is rare enough, and
975
not expensive enough to special case. (Robert Collins)
976
977
* ``VersionedFile.clear_cache`` and ``enable_cache`` are deprecated.
978
These methods added significant complexity to the ``VersionedFile``
979
implementation, but were only used for optimising fetches from knits -
980
which can be done from outside the knit layer, or via a caching
981
decorator. As knits are not the default format, the complexity is no
982
longer worth paying. (Robert Collins)
983
984
* ``VersionedFile.create_empty`` is removed. This method presupposed a
985
sensible mapping to a transport for individual files, but pack backed
986
versioned files have no such mapping. (Robert Collins)
987
988
* ``VersionedFile.get_graph`` is deprecated, with no replacement method.
989
The method was size(history) and not desirable. (Robert Collins)
990
991
* ``VersionedFile.get_graph_with_ghosts`` is deprecated, with no
992
replacement method. The method was size(history) and not desirable.
993
(Robert Collins)
994
995
* ``VersionedFile.get_parents`` is deprecated, please use
996
``VersionedFile.get_parent_map``. (Robert Collins)
997
998
* ``VersionedFile.get_sha1`` is deprecated, please use
999
``VersionedFile.get_sha1s``. (Robert Collins)
1000
1001
* ``VersionedFile.has_ghost`` is now deprecated, as it is both expensive
1002
and unused outside of a single test. (Robert Collins)
1003
1004
* ``VersionedFile.iter_parents`` is now deprecated in favour of
1005
``get_parent_map`` which can be used to instantiate a Graph on a
1006
VersionedFile. (Robert Collins)
1007
1008
* ``VersionedFileStore`` no longer uses the transaction parameter given
1009
to most methods; amongst other things this means that the
1010
get_weave_or_empty method no longer guarantees errors on a missing weave
1011
in a readonly transaction, and no longer caches versioned file instances
1012
which reduces memory pressure (but requires more careful management by
1013
callers to preserve performance). (Robert Collins)
1014
1015
TESTING:
1016
1017
* New -Dselftest_debug flag disables clearing of the debug flags during
1018
tests. This is useful if you want to use e.g. -Dhpss to help debug a
1019
failing test. Be aware that using this feature is likely to cause
1020
spurious test failures if used with the full suite. (Andrew Bennetts)
1021
1022
* selftest --load-list now uses a new more agressive test loader that will
1023
avoid loading unneeded modules and building their tests. Plugins can use
1024
this new loader by defining a load_tests function instead of a test_suite
1025
function. (a forthcoming patch will provide many examples on how to
1026
implement this).
1027
(Vincent Ladeuil)
1028
1029
* selftest --load-list now does some sanity checks regarding duplicate test
1030
IDs and tests present in the list but not found in the actual test suite.
1031
(Vincent Ladeuil)
1032
1033
* Slightly more concise format for the selftest progress bar, so there's
1034
more space to show the test name. (Martin Pool) ::

1036
[2500/10884, 1fail, 3miss in 1m29s] test_revisionnamespaces.TestRev
1037
1038
* The test suite takes much less memory to run, and is a bit faster. This
1039
is done by clearing most attributes of TestCases after running them, if
1040
they succeeded. (Andrew Bennetts)
1041
1042
INTERNALS:
1043
1044
* Added ``_build_client_protocol`` to ``_SmartClient``. (Andrew Bennetts)
1045
1046
* Added basic infrastructure for automatic plugin suggestion.
1047
(Martin Albisetti)
1048
1049
* If a ``LockableFiles`` object is not explicitly unlocked (for example
1050
because of a missing ``try/finally`` block, it will give a warning but
1051
not automatically unlock itself. (Previously they did.) This
1052
sometimes caused knock-on errors if for example the network connection
1053
had already failed, and should not be relied upon by code.
1054
(Martin Pool, #109520)
1055
1056
* ``make dist`` target to build a release tarball, and also
1057
``check-dist-tarball`` and ``dist-upload-escudero``. (Martin Pool)
1058
1059
* The ``read_response_tuple`` method of ``SmartClientRequestProtocol*``
1060
classes will now raise ``UnknownSmartMethod`` when appropriate, so that
1061
callers don't need to try distinguish unknown request errors from other
1062
errors. (Andrew Bennetts)
1063
1064
* ``set_make_working_trees`` is now implemented provided on all repository
1065
implementations (Aaron Bentley)
1066
1067
* ``VersionedFile`` now has a new method ``get_parent_map`` which, like
1068
``Graph.get_parent_map`` returns a dict of key:parents. (Robert Collins)

------------------
1090
1091
Bazaar has become part of the GNU project <http://www.gnu.org>
1092
1093
Many operations that act on history, including ``log`` and ``annotate`` are now
1094
substantially faster. Several bugs have been fixed and several new options and
1095
features have been added.
1096
1097
TESTING:
1098

NOTES WHEN UPGRADING:
1108
1109
* The backup directory created by ``upgrade`` is now called
1110
``backup.bzr``, not ``.bzr.backup``. (Martin Albisetti)
1111
1112
CHANGES:
1113
1114
* A new repository format 'development' has been added. This format will
1115
represent the latest 'in-progress' format that the bzr developers are
1116
interested in getting early-adopter testing and feedback on.
1117
``doc/developers/development-repo.txt`` has detailed information.
1118
(Robert Collins)
1119
1120
* BZR_LOG environment variable controls location of .bzr.log trace file.
1121
User can suppress writing messages to .bzr.log by using '/dev/null'
1122
filename (on Linux) or 'NUL' (on Windows). If BZR_LOG variable
1123
is not defined but BZR_HOME is defined then default location
1124
for .bzr.log trace file is ``$BZR_HOME/.bzr.log``.
1125
(Alexander Belchenko)
1126
1127
* ``launchpad`` builtin plugin now shipped as separate part in standalone
1128
bzr.exe, installed to ``C:\Program Files\Bazaar\plugins`` directory,
1129
and standalone installer allows user to skip installation of this plugin.
1130
(Alexander Belchenko)
1131
1132
* Restore auto-detection of plink.exe on Windows. (Dmitry Vasiliev)
1133
1134
* Version number is now shown as "1.2" or "1.2pr2", without zeroed or
1135
missing final fields. (Martin Pool)
1136
1137
FEATURES:
1138
1139
* ``branch`` and ``checkout`` can hard-link working tree files, which is
1140
faster and saves space. (Aaron Bentley)
1141
1142
* ``bzr send`` will now also look at the ``child_submit_to`` setting in
1143
the submit branch to determine the email address to send to.
1144
(Jelmer Vernooij)
1145
1146
IMPROVEMENTS:
1147
1148
* BzrBranch._lefthand_history is faster on pack repos. (Aaron Bentley)
1149
1150
* Branch6.generate_revision_history is faster. (Aaron Bentley)
1151
1152
* Directory services can now be registered, allowing special URLs to be
1153
dereferenced into real URLs. This is a generalization and cleanup of
1154
the lp: transport lookup. (Aaron Bentley)
1155
1156
* Merge directives that are automatically attached to emails have nicer
1157
filenames, based on branch-nick + revno. (Aaron Bentley)
1158
1159
* ``push`` has a ``--revision`` option, to specify what revision to push up
1160
to. (Daniel Watkins)
1161
1162
* Significantly reducing execution time and network traffic for trivial
1163
case of running ``bzr missing`` command for two identical branches.
1164
(Alexander Belchenko)
1165
1166
* Speed up operations that look at the revision graph (such as 'bzr log').
1167
``KnitPackRepositor.get_revision_graph`` uses ``Graph.iter_ancestry`` to
1168
extract the revision history. This allows filtering ghosts while
1169
stepping instead of needing to peek ahead. (John Arbash Meinel)
1170
1171
* The ``hooks`` command lists installed hooks, to assist in debugging.
1172
(Daniel Watkins)
1173
1174
* Updates to how ``annotate`` work. Should see a measurable improvement in
1175
performance and memory consumption for file with a lot of merges.
1176
Also, correctly handle when a line is introduced by both parents (it
1177
should be attributed to the first merge which notices this, and not
1178
to all subsequent merges.) (John Arbash Meinel)
1179
1180
BUGFIXES:
1181
1182
* Autopacking no longer holds the full set of inventory lines in
1183
memory while copying. For large repositories, this can amount to
1184
hundreds of MB of ram consumption.
1185
(Ian Clatworthy, John Arbash Meinel)
1186
1187
* Cherrypicking when using ``--format=merge3`` now explictly excludes
1188
BASE lines. (John Arbash Meinel, #151731)
1189
1190
* Disable plink's interactive prompt for password.
1191
(#107593, Dmitry Vasiliev)
1192
1193
* Encode command line arguments from unicode to user_encoding before
1194
invoking external mail client in `bzr send` command.
1195

1196
1197
* Fixed problem connecting to ``bzr+https://`` servers.
1198
(#198793, John Ferlito)
1199
1200
* Improved error reporting in the Launchpad plugin. (Daniel Watkins,
1201
#196618)
1202
1203
* Include quick-start-summary.svg file to python-based installer(s)
1204
for Windows. (#192924, Alexander Belchenko)
1205
1206
* lca merge now respects specified files. (Aaron Bentley)
1207
1208
* Make version-info --custom imply --all. (#195560, James Westby)
1209
1210
* ``merge --preview`` now works for merges that add or modify
1211
symlinks (James Henstridge)
1212
1213
* Redirecting the output from ``bzr merge`` (when the remembered
1214
location is used) now works. (John Arbash Meinel)
1215
1216
* setup.py script explicitly checks for Python version.
1217
(Jari Aalto, Alexander Belchenko, #200569)
1218
1219
* UnknownFormatErrors no longer refer to branches regardless of kind of
1220
unknown format. (Daniel Watkins, #173980)
1221
1222
* Upgrade bundled ConfigObj to version 4.5.2, which properly quotes #
1223
signs, among other small improvements. (Matt Nordhoff, #86838)
1224
1225
* Use correct indices when emitting LCA conflicts. This fixes IndexError
1226
errors. (Aaron Bentley, #196780)
1227
1228
DOCUMENTATION:
1229
1230
* Explained how to use ``version-info --custom`` in the User Guide.
1231
(Neil Martinsen-Burrell)
1232
1233
API BREAKS:
1234
1235
* Support for loading plugins from zip files and
1236
``bzrlib.plugin.load_from_zip()`` function are deprecated.
1237
(Alexander Belchenko)
1238
1239
TESTING:
1240
1241
* Added missing blackbox tests for ``modified`` (Adrian Wilkins)
1242
1243
* The branch interface tests were invalid for branches using rich-root
1244
repositories because the empty string is not a valid file-id.
1245
(Robert Collins)
1246
1247
INTERNALS:
1248
1249
* ``Graph.iter_ancestry`` returns the ancestry of revision ids. Similar to
1250
``Repository.get_revision_graph()`` except it includes ghosts and you can
1251
stop part-way through. (John Arbash Meinel)
1252
1253
* New module ``tools/package_mf.py`` provide custom module finder for
1254
python packages (improves standard python library's modulefinder.py)
1255
used by ``setup.py`` script while building standalone bzr.exe.
1256
(Alexander Belchenko)
1257
1258
* New remote method ``RemoteBzrDir.find_repositoryV2`` adding support for
1259
detecting external lookup support on remote repositories. This method is
1260
now attempted first when lookup up repositories, leading to an extra
1261
round trip on older bzr smart servers. (Robert Collins)
1262
1263
* Repository formats have a new supported-feature attribute
1264
``supports_external_lookups`` used to indicate repositories which support
1265
falling back to other repositories when they have partial data.
1266
(Robert Collins)
1267
1268
* ``Repository.get_revision_graph_with_ghosts`` and
1269
``bzrlib.revision.(common_ancestor,MultipleRevisionSources,common_graph)``
1270
have been deprecated. (John Arbash Meinel)
1271
1272
* ``Tree.iter_changes`` is now a public API, replacing the work-in-progress
1273
``Tree._iter_changes``. The api is now considered stable and ready for
1274
external users. (Aaron Bentley)
1275
1276
* The bzrdir format registry now accepts an ``alias`` keyword to
1277
register_metadir, used to indicate that a format name is an alias for
1278
some other format and thus should not be reported when describing the
1279
format. (Robert Collins)

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

1403
* Stop polluting /tmp when running selftest.
1404
(Vincent Ladeuil, #123623)
1405
1406
* Switch from NFKC => NFC for normalization checks. NFC allows a few
1407
more characters which should be considered valid.
1408
(John Arbash Meinel, #185458)
1409
1410
* The launchpad plugin now uses the ``edge`` xmlrpc server to avoid
1411
interacting badly with a bug on the launchpad side. (Robert Collins)
1412
1413
* Unknown hostnames when connecting to a ``bzr://`` URL no longer cause
1414
tracebacks. (Andrew Bennetts, #182849)
1415
1416
API BREAKS:
1417
1418
* Classes implementing Merge types like Merge3Merger must now accept (and
1419
honour) a do_merge flag in their constructor. (Aaron Bentley)
1420
1421
* ``Repository.add_inventory`` and ``add_revision`` now require the caller
1422
to previously take a write lock (and start a write group.)
1423
(Martin Pool)
1424
1425
TESTING:
1426
1427
* selftest now accepts --load-list <file> to load a test id list. This
1428
speeds up running the test suite on a limited set of tests.
1429
(Vincent Ladeuil)
1430
1431
INTERNALS:
1432
1433
* Add a new method ``get_result`` to graph search objects. The resulting
1434
``SearchResult`` can be used to recreate the search later, which will
1435
be useful in reducing network traffic. (Robert Collins)
1436
1437
* Use convenience function to check whether two repository handles
1438
are referring to the same repository in ``Repository.get_graph``.
1439
(Jelmer Vernooij, #187162)
1440
1441
* Fetching now passes the find_ghosts flag through to the
1442
``InterRepository.missing_revision_ids`` call consistently for all
1443
repository types. This will enable faster missing revision discovery with
1444
bzr+ssh. (Robert Collins)
1445
1446
* Fix error handling in Repository.insert_data_stream. (Lukas Lalinsky)
1447
1448
* ``InterRepository.missing_revision_ids`` is now deprecated in favour of
1449
``InterRepository.search_missing_revision_ids`` which returns a
1450
``bzrlib.graph.SearchResult`` suitable for making requests from the smart
1451
server. (Robert Collins)
1452
1453
* New error ``NoPublicBranch`` for commands that need a public branch to
1454
operate. (Robert Collins)
1455
1456
* New method ``iter_inventories`` on Repository for access to many
1457
inventories. This is primarily used by the ``revision_trees`` method, as
1458
direct access to inventories is discouraged. (Robert Collins)
1459
1460
* New method ``next_with_ghosts`` on the Graph breadth-first-search objects
1461
which will split out ghosts and present parents into two separate sets,
1462
useful for code which needs to be aware of ghosts (e.g. fetching data
1463
cares about ghosts during revision selection). (Robert Collins)
1464
1465
* Record a timestamp against each mutter to the trace file, relative to the
1466
first import of bzrlib. (Andrew Bennetts)
1467
1468
* ``Repository.get_data_stream`` is now deprecated in favour of
1469
``Repository.get_data_stream_for_search`` which allows less network
1470
traffic when requesting data streams over a smart server. (Robert Collins)
1471
1472
* ``RemoteBzrDir._get_tree_branch`` no longer triggers ``_ensure_real``,
1473
removing one round trip on many network operations. (Robert Collins)
1474
1475
* RemoteTransport's ``recommended_page_size`` method now returns 64k, like
1476
SFTPTransport and HttpTransportBase. (Andrew Bennetts)
1477
1478
* Repository has a new method ``has_revisions`` which signals the presence
1479
of many revisions by returning a set of the revisions listed which are
1480
present. This can be done by index queries without reading data for parent
1481
revision names etc. (Robert Collins)

bzr 1.1rc1 2008-01-05
1490
---------------------
1491
1492
CHANGES:
1493
1494
* Dotted revision numbers have been revised. Instead of growing longer with
1495
nested branches the branch number just increases. (eg instead of 1.1.1.1.1
1496
we now report 1.2.1.) This helps scale long lived branches which have many
1497
feature branches merged between them. (John Arbash Meinel)
1498
1499
* The syntax ``bzr diff branch1 branch2`` is no longer supported.
1500
Use ``bzr diff branch1 --new branch2`` instead. This change has
1501
been made to remove the ambiguity where ``branch2`` is in fact a
1502
specific file to diff within ``branch1``.
1503
1504
FEATURES:
1505
1506
* New option to use custom template-based formats in ``bzr version-info``.
1507
(Lukáš Lalinský)
1508
1509
* diff '--using' allows an external diff tool to be used for files.
1510
(Aaron Bentley)
1511
1512
* New "lca" merge-type for fast everyday merging that also supports
1513
criss-cross merges. (Aaron Bentley)
1514
1515
IMPROVEMENTS:
1516
1517
* ``annotate`` now doesn't require a working tree. (Lukáš Lalinský,
1518
#90049)
1519
1520
* ``branch`` and ``checkout`` can now use files from a working tree to
1521
to speed up the process. For checkout, this requires the new
1522
--files-from flag. (Aaron Bentley)
1523
1524
* ``bzr diff`` now sorts files in alphabetical order. (Aaron Bentley)
1525
1526
* ``bzr diff`` now works on branches without working trees. Tree-less
1527
branches can also be compared to each other and to working trees using
1528
the new diff options ``--old`` and ``--new``. Diffing between branches,
1529
with or without trees, now supports specific file filtering as well.
1530
(Ian Clatworthy, #6700)
1531
1532
* ``bzr pack`` now orders revision texts in topological order, with newest
1533
at the start of the file, promoting linear reads for ``bzr log`` and the
1534
like. This partially fixes #154129. (Robert Collins)
1535
1536
* Merge directives now fetch prerequisites from the target branch if
1537
needed. (Aaron Bentley)
1538
1539
* pycurl now handles digest authentication.
1540
(Vincent Ladeuil)
1541
1542
* ``reconfigure`` can now convert from repositories. (Aaron Bentley)
1543
1544
* ``-l`` is now a short form for ``--limit`` in ``log``. (Matt Nordhoff)
1545
1546
* ``merge`` now warns when merge directives cause cherrypicks.
1547
(Aaron Bentley)
1548
1549
* ``split`` now supported, to enable splitting large trees into smaller
1550
pieces. (Aaron Bentley)
1551
1552
BUGFIXES:
1553
1554
* Avoid AttributeError when unlocking a pack repository when an error occurs.
1555
(Martin Pool, #180208)
1556
1557
* Better handle short reads when processing multiple range requests.
1558
(Vincent Ladeuil, #179368)
1559
1560
* build_tree acceleration uses the correct path when a file has been moved.
1561
(Aaron Bentley)
1562
1563
* ``commit`` now succeeds when a checkout and its master branch share a
1564
repository. (Aaron Bentley, #177592)
1565
1566
* Fixed error reporting of unsupported timezone format in
1567
``log --timezone``. (Lukáš Lalinský, #178722)
1568
1569
* Fixed Unicode encoding error in ``ignored`` when the output is
1570
redirected to a pipe. (Lukáš Lalinský)
1571
1572
* Fix traceback when sending large response bodies over the smart protocol
1573
on Windows. (Andrew Bennetts, #115781)
1574
1575
* Fix ``urlutils.relative_url`` for the case of two ``file:///`` URLs
1576
pointed to different logical drives on Windows.
1577
(Alexander Belchenko, #90847)
1578
1579
* HTTP test servers are now compatible with the http protocol version 1.1.
1580
(Vincent Ladeuil, #175524)
1581
1582
* _KnitParentsProvider.get_parent_map now handles requests for ghosts
1583
correctly, instead of erroring or attributing incorrect parents to ghosts.
1584
(Aaron Bentley)
1585
1586
* ``merge --weave --uncommitted`` now works. (Aaron Bentley)
1587
1588
* pycurl authentication handling was broken and incomplete. Fix handling of
1589
user:pass embedded in the urls.
1590
(Vincent Ladeuil, #177643)
1591
1592
* Files inside non-directories are now handled like other conflict types.
1593
(Aaron Bentley, #177390)
1594
1595
* ``reconfigure`` is able to convert trees into lightweight checkouts.
1596
(Aaron Bentley)
1597
1598
* Reduce lockdir timeout to 0 when running ``bzr serve``. (Andrew Bennetts,
1599
#148087)
1600
1601
* Test that the old ``version_info_format`` functions still work, even
1602
though they are deprecated. (John Arbash Meinel, ShenMaq, #177872)
1603
1604
* Transform failures no longer cause ImmortalLimbo errors (Aaron Bentley,
1605
#137681)
1606
1607
* ``uncommit`` works even when the commit messages of revisions to be
1608
removed use characters not supported in the terminal encoding.
1609
(Aaron Bentley)
1610
1611
* When dumb http servers return whole files instead of the requested ranges,
1612
read the remaining bytes by chunks to avoid overflowing network buffers.
1613
(Vincent Ladeuil, #175886)
1614
1615
DOCUMENTATION:
1616
1617
* Minor tweaks made to the bug tracker integration documentation.
1618
(Ian Clatworthy)
1619
1620
* Reference material has now be moved out of the User Guide and added
1621
to the User Reference. The User Reference has gained 4 sections as
1622
a result: Authenication Settings, Configuration Settings, Conflicts
1623
and Hooks. All help topics are now dumped into text format in the
1624
doc/en/user-reference directory for those who like browsing that
1625
information in their editor. (Ian Clatworthy)
1626
1627
* *Using Bazaar with Launchpad* tutorial added. (Ian Clatworthy)
1628
1629
INTERNALS:
1630
1631
* find_* methods available for BzrDirs, Branches and WorkingTrees.
1632

1633
1634
* Help topics can now be loaded from files.
1635
(Ian Clatworthy, Alexander Belchenko)
1636
1637
* get_parent_map now always provides tuples as its output. (Aaron Bentley)
1638
1639
* Parent Providers should now implement ``get_parent_map`` returning a
1640
dictionary instead of ``get_parents`` returning a list.
1641
``Graph.get_parents`` is now deprecated. (John Arbash Meinel,
1642
Robert Collins)
1643
1644
* Patience Diff now supports arbitrary python objects, as long as they
1645
support ``hash()``. (John Arbash Meinel)
1646
1647
* Reduce selftest overhead to establish test names by memoization.
1648
(Vincent Ladeuil)
1649
1650
API BREAKS:
1651
1652
TESTING:
1653
1654
* Modules can now customise their tests by defining a ``load_tests``
1655
attribute. ``pydoc bzrlib.tests.TestUtil.TestLoader.loadTestsFromModule``
1656
for the documentation on this attribute. (Robert Collins)
1657
1658
* New helper function ``bzrlib.tests.condition_id_re`` which helps
1659
filter tests based on a regular expression search on the tests id.
1660
(Robert Collins)
1661
1662
* New helper function ``bzrlib.tests.condition_isinstance`` which helps
1663
filter tests based on class. (Robert Collins)
1664
1665
* New helper function ``bzrlib.tests.exclude_suite_by_condition`` which
1666
generalises the ``exclude_suite_by_re`` function. (Robert Collins)
1667
1668
* New helper function ``bzrlib.tests.filter_suite_by_condition`` which
1669
generalises the ``filter_suite_by_re`` function. (Robert Collins)
1670
1671
* New helper method ``bzrlib.tests.exclude_tests_by_re`` which gives a new
1672
TestSuite that does not contain tests from the input that matched a
1673
regular expression. (Robert Collins)
1674
1675
* New helper method ``bzrlib.tests.randomize_suite`` which returns a
1676
randomized copy of the input suite. (Robert Collins)
1677
1678
* New helper method ``bzrlib.tests.split_suite_by_re`` which splits a test
1679
suite into two according to a regular expression. (Robert Collins)
1680
1681
* Parametrize all http tests for the transport implementations, the http
1682
protocol versions (1.0 and 1.1) and the authentication schemes.
1683
(Vincent Ladeuil)
1684
1685
* The ``exclude_pattern`` and ``random_order`` parameters to the function
1686
``bzrlib.tests.filter_suite_by_re`` have been deprecated. (Robert Collins)
1687
1688
* The method ``bzrlib.tests.sort_suite_by_re`` has been deprecated. It is
1689
replaced by the new helper methods added in this release. (Robert Collins)

BUGFIXES:
1720
1721
* Fix Makefile rules for doc generation. (Ian Clatworthy, #175207)
1722
1723
* Give more feedback during long http downloads by making readv deliver data
1724
as it arrives for urllib, and issue more requests for pycurl. High latency
1725
networks are better handled by urllib, the pycurl implementation give more
1726
feedback but also incur more latency.
1727
(Vincent Ladeuil, #173010)
1728
1729

1757
* ``bzr commit`` now doesn't print the revision number twice. (Matt
1758
Nordhoff, #172612)
1759
1760
* New configuration option ``bugtracker_<tracker_abbrevation>_url`` to
1761
define locations of bug trackers that are not directly supported by
1762
bzr or a plugin. The URL will be treated as a template and ``{id}``
1763
placeholders will be replaced by specific bug IDs. (Lukáš Lalinský)
1764
1765
* Support logging single merge revisions with short and line log formatters.
1766

1767
1768
* User Guide enhanced with suggested readability improvements from
1769
Matt Revell and corrections from John Arbash Meinel. (Ian Clatworthy)
1770
1771
* Quick Start Guide renamed to Quick Start Card, moved down in
1772
the catalog, provided in pdf and png format and updated to refer
1773
to ``send`` instead of ``bundle``. (Ian Clatworthy, #165080)
1774
1775
* ``switch`` can now be used on heavyweight checkouts as well as
1776
lightweight ones. After switching a heavyweight checkout, the
1777
local branch is a mirror/cache of the new bound branch and
1778
uncommitted changes in the working tree are merged. As a safety
1779
check, if there are local commits in a checkout which have not
1780
been committed to the previously bound branch, then ``switch``
1781
fails unless the ``--force`` option is given. This option is
1782
now also required if the branch a lightweight checkout is pointing
1783
to has been moved. (Ian Clatworthy)

1798
filename to user.
1799
(Alexander Belchenko, #111758)
1800
1801
* Catch ShortReadvErrors while using pycurl. Also make readv more robust by
1802
allowing multiple GET requests to be issued if too many ranges are
1803
required.
1804
(Vincent Ladeuil, #172701)

1821
NOTES WHEN UPGRADING:
1822
1823
* The default repository format is now ``pack-0.92``. This
1824
default is used when creating new repositories with ``init`` and
1825
``init-repo``, and when branching over bzr+ssh or bzr+hpss.
1826
(See https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/164626)
1827
1828
This format can be read and written by Bazaar 0.92 and later, and
1829
data can be transferred to and from older formats.
1830
1831
To upgrade, please reconcile your repository (``bzr reconcile``), and then
1832
upgrade (``bzr upgrade``).
1833
1834
``pack-0.92`` offers substantially better scaling and performance than the
1835
previous knits format. Some operations are slower where the code already
1836
had bad scaling characteristics under knits, the pack format makes such
1837
operations more visible as part of being more scalable overall. We will
1838
correct such operations over the coming releases and encourage the filing
1839
of bugs on any operation which you observe to be slower in a packs
1840
repository. One particular case that we do not intend to fix is pulling
1841
data from a pack repository into a knit repository over a high latency
1842
link; downgrading such data requires reinsertion of the file texts, and
1843
this is a classic space/time tradeoff. The current implementation is
1844
conservative on memory usage because we need to support converting data
1845
from any tree without problems.
1846
(Robert Collins, Martin Pool, #164476)
1847

CHANGES:
1849
1850
* Disable detection of plink.exe as possible ssh vendor. Plink vendor
1851
still available if user selects it explicitly with BZR_SSH environment
1852
variable. (Alexander Belchenko, workaround for bug #107593)
1853
1854
* The pack format is now accessible as "pack-0.92", or "pack-0.92-subtree"
1855
to enable the subtree functions (for example, for bzr-svn).
1856

1863
supported transports.
1864
(Vincent Ladeuil)
1865
1866
* New rich-root and rich-root-pack formats, recording the same data about
1867
tree roots that's recorded for all other directories.
1868
(Aaron Bentley, #164639)
1869
1870
* ``pack-0.92`` repositories can now be reconciled.
1871
(Robert Collins, #154173)
1872
1873
* ``switch`` command added for changing the branch a lightweight checkout
1874
is associated with and updating the tree to reflect the latest content
1875
accordingly. This command was previously part of the BzrTools plug-in.
1876
(Ian Clatworthy, Aaron Bentley, David Allouche)
1877

1881
PERFORMANCE:
1882
1883
* Commit updates the state of the working tree via a delta rather than
1884
supplying entirely new basis trees. For commit of a single specified file
1885
this reduces the wall clock time for commit by roughly a 30%.
1886
(Robert Collins, Martin Pool)
1887
1888
* Commit with many automatically found deleted paths no longer performs
1889
linear scanning for the children of those paths during inventory
1890
iteration. This should fix commit performance blowing out when many such
1891
paths occur during commit. (Robert Collins, #156491)
1892
1893
* Fetch with pack repositories will no longer read the entire history graph.
1894
(Robert Collins, #88319)
1895
1896
* Revert takes out an appropriate lock when reverting to a basis tree, and
1897
does not read the basis inventory twice. (Robert Collins)
1898
1899
* Diff does not require an inventory to be generated on dirstate trees.
1900
(Aaron Bentley, #149254)
1901
1902
* New annotate merge (--merge-type=weave) implementation is fast on
1903
versionedfiles withough cached annotations, e.g. pack-0.92.
1904
(Aaron Bentley)
1905
1906
IMPROVEMENTS:
1907
1908
* ``bzr merge`` now warns when it encounters a criss-cross merge.
1909
(Aaron Bentley)
1910
1911
* ``bzr send`` now doesn't require the target e-mail address to be
1912
specified on the command line if an interactive e-mail client is used.
1913
(Lukáš Lalinský)
1914
1915
* ``bzr tags`` now prints the revision number for each tag, instead of
1916
the revision id, unless --show-ids is passed. In addition, tags can be
1917
sorted chronologically instead of lexicographically with --sort=time.
1918
(Adeodato Simó, #120231)
1919
1920
* Windows standalone version of bzr is able to load system-wide plugins from
1921
"plugins" subdirectory in installation directory. In addition standalone
1922
installer write to the registry (HKLM\SOFTWARE\Bazaar) useful info
1923
about paths and bzr version. (Alexander Belchenko, #129298)

1927
BUG FIXES:
1928
1929
* A progress bar has been added for knitpack -> knitpack fetching.
1930
(Robert Collins, #157789, #159147)
1931
1932
* Branching from a branch via smart server now preserves the repository
1933
format. (Andrew Bennetts, #164626)
1934
1935
* ``commit`` is now able to invoke an external editor in a non-ascii
1936
directory. (Daniel Watkins, #84043)
1937
1938
* Catch connection errors for ftp.
1939
(Vincent Ladeuil, #164567)
1940
1941
* ``check`` no longer reports spurious unreferenced text versions.
1942
(Robert Collins, John A Meinel, #162931, #165071)
1943
1944
* Conflicts are now resolved recursively by ``revert``.
1945
(Aaron Bentley, #102739)
1946
1947
* Detect invalid transport reuse attempts by catching invalid URLs.
1948
(Vincent Ladeuil, #161819)
1949
1950
* Deleting a file without removing it shows a correct diff, not a traceback.
1951
(Aaron Bentley)
1952
1953
* Do no use timeout in HttpServer anymore.
1954
(Vincent Ladeuil, #158972).
1955
1956
* Don't catch the exceptions related to the http pipeline status before
1957
retrying an http request or some programming errors may be masked.
1958
(Vincent Ladeuil, #160012)
1959
1960
* Fix ``bzr rm`` to not delete modified and ignored files.
1961
(Lukáš Lalinský, #172598)
1962
1963
* Fix exception when revisionspec contains merge revisons but log
1964
formatter doesn't support merge revisions. (Kent Gibson, #148908)
1965
1966
* Fix exception when ScopeReplacer is assigned to before any members have
1967
been retrieved. (Aaron Bentley)
1968
1969
* Fix multiple connections during checkout --lightweight.
1970
(Vincent Ladeuil, #159150)
1971
1972
* Fix possible error in insert_data_stream when copying between
1973
pack repositories over bzr+ssh or bzr+http.
1974
KnitVersionedFile.get_data_stream now makes sure that requested
1975
compression parents are sent before any delta hunks that depend
1976
on them.
1977
(Martin Pool, #164637)
1978
1979
* Fix typo in limiting offsets coalescing for http, leading to
1980
whole files being downloaded instead of parts.
1981
(Vincent Ladeuil, #165061)
1982
1983
* FTP server errors don't error in the error handling code.
1984
(Robert Collins, #161240)
1985
1986
* Give a clearer message when a pull fails because the source needs
1987
to be reconciled.
1988
(Martin Pool, #164443)
1989
1990
* It is clearer when a plugin cannot be loaded because of its name, and a
1991
suggestion for an acceptable name is given. (Daniel Watkins, #103023)
1992
1993
* Leave port as None in transport objects if user doesn't
1994
specify a port in urls.
1995
(vincent Ladeuil, #150860)
1996
1997
* Make sure Repository.fetch(self) is properly a no-op for all
1998
Repository implementations. (John Arbash Meinel, #158333)
1999
2000
* Mark .bzr directories as "hidden" on Windows.
2001
(Alexander Belchenko, #71147)
2002
2003
* ``merge --uncommitted`` can now operate on a single file.
2004
(Aaron Bentley, Lukáš Lalinský, #136890)
2005
2006
* Obsolete packs are now cleaned up by pack and autopack operations.
2007
(Robert Collins, #153789)
2008
2009
* Operations pulling data from a smart server where the underlying
2010
repositories are not both annotated/both unannotated will now work.
2011
(Robert Collins, #165304).
2012
2013
* Reconcile now shows progress bars. (Robert Collins, #159351)
2014
2015
* ``RemoteBranch`` was not initializing ``self._revision_id_to_revno_map``
2016
properly. (John Arbash Meinel, #162486)
2017
2018
* Removing an already-removed file reports the file does not exist. (Daniel
2019
Watkins, #152811)
2020
2021
* Rename on Windows is able to change filename case.
2022
(Alexander Belchenko, #77740)
2023
2024
* Return error instead of a traceback for ``bzr log -r0``.
2025
(Kent Gibson, #133751)
2026
2027
* Return error instead of a traceback when bzr is unable to create
2028
symlink on some platforms (e.g. on Windows).
2029
(Alexander Belchenko, workaround for #81689)
2030
2031
* Revert doesn't crash when restoring a single file from a deleted
2032
directory. (Aaron Bentley)
2033
2034
* Stderr output via logging mechanism now goes through encoded wrapper
2035
and no more uses utf-8, but terminal encoding instead. So all unicode
2036
strings now should be readable in non-utf-8 terminal.
2037
(Alexander Belchenko, #54173)
2038
2039
* The error message when ``move --after`` should be used makes how to do so
2040
clearer. (Daniel Watkins, #85237)
2041
2042
* Unicode-safe output from ``bzr info``. The output will be encoded
2043
using the terminal encoding and unrepresentable characters will be
2044
replaced by '?'. (Lukáš Lalinský, #151844)
2045
2046
* Working trees are no longer created when pushing into a local no-trees
2047
repo. (Daniel Watkins, #50582)
2048
2049
* Upgrade util/configobj to version 4.4.0.
2050
(Vincent Ladeuil, #151208).
2051
2052
* Wrap medusa ftp test server as an FTPServer feature.
2053
(Vincent Ladeuil, #157752)
2054
2055
API BREAKS:
2056
2057
* ``osutils.backup_file`` is deprecated. Actually it's not used in bzrlib
2058
during very long time. (Alexander Belchenko)
2059
2060
* The return value of
2061
``VersionedFile.iter_lines_added_or_present_in_versions`` has been
2062
changed. Previously it was an iterator of lines, now it is an iterator of
2063
(line, version_id) tuples. This change has been made to aid reconcile and
2064
fetch operations. (Robert Collins)
2065
2066
* ``bzrlib.repository.get_versioned_file_checker`` is now private.
2067
(Robert Collins)
2068
2069
* The Repository format registry default has been removed; it was previously
2070
obsoleted by the bzrdir format default, which implies a default repository
2071
format.
2072
(Martin Pool)
2073
2074
INTERNALS:
2075
2076
* Added ``ContainerSerialiser`` and ``ContainerPushParser`` to
2077
``bzrlib.pack``. These classes provide more convenient APIs for generating
2078
and parsing containers from streams rather than from files. (Andrew
2079
Bennetts)
2080
2081
* New module ``lru_cache`` providing a cache for use by tasks that need
2082
semi-random access to large amounts of data. (John A Meinel)
2083
2084
* InventoryEntry.diff is now deprecated. Please use diff.DiffTree instead.

2100
NOTES WHEN UPGRADING:
2101
2102
CHANGES:
2103
2104
* ``bzr`` now returns exit code 4 if an internal error occurred, and
2105
3 if a normal error occurred. (Martin Pool)
2106
2107
* ``pull``, ``merge`` and ``push`` will no longer silently correct some
2108
repository index errors that occured as a result of the Weave disk format.
2109
Instead the ``reconcile`` command needs to be run to correct those
2110
problems if they exist (and it has been able to fix most such problems
2111
since bzr 0.8). Some new problems have been identified during this release
2112
and you should run ``bzr check`` once on every repository to see if you
2113
need to reconcile. If you cannot ``pull`` or ``merge`` from a remote
2114
repository due to mismatched parent errors - a symptom of index errors -
2115
you should simply take a full copy of that remote repository to a clean
2116
directory outside any local repositories, then run reconcile on it, and
2117
finally pull from it locally. (And naturally email the repositories owner
2118
to ask them to upgrade and run reconcile).
2119
(Robert Collins)
2120
2121
FEATURES:
2122
2123
* New ``knitpack-experimental`` repository format. This is interoperable with
2124
the ``dirstate-tags`` format but uses a smarter storage design that greatly
2125
speeds up many operations, both local and remote. This new format can be
2126
used as an option to the ``init``, ``init-repository`` and ``upgrade``
2127
commands. See http://doc.bazaar-vcs.org/0.92/developers/knitpack.html
2128
for further details. (Robert Collins)
2129
2130
* For users of bzr-svn (and those testing the prototype subtree support) that
2131
wish to try packs, a new ``knitpack-subtree-experimental`` format has also
2132
been added. This is interoperable with the ``dirstate-subtrees`` format.
2133
(Robert Collins)
2134
2135
* New ``reconfigure`` command. (Aaron Bentley)
2136
2137
* New ``revert --forget-merges`` command, which removes the record of a pending
2138
merge without affecting the working tree contents. (Martin Pool)
2139
2140
* New ``bzr_remote_path`` configuration variable allows finer control of
2141
remote bzr locations than BZR_REMOTE_PATH environment variable.
2142
(Aaron Bentley)
2143
2144
* New ``launchpad-login`` command to tell Bazaar your Launchpad
2145
user ID. This can then be used by other functions of the
2146
Launchpad plugin. (James Henstridge)
2147
2148
PERFORMANCE:
2149
2150
* Commit in quiet mode is now slightly faster as the information to
2151
output is no longer calculated. (Ian Clatworthy)
2152
2153
* Commit no longer checks for new text keys during insertion when the
2154
revision id was deterministically unique. (Robert Collins)
2155
2156
* Committing a change which is not a merge and does not change the number of
2157
files in the tree is faster by utilising the data about whether files are
2158
changed to determine if the tree is unchanged rather than recalculating
2159
it at the end of the commit process. (Robert Collins)
2160
2161
* Inventory serialisation no longer double-sha's the content.
2162
(Robert Collins)
2163
2164
* Knit text reconstruction now avoids making copies of the lines list for
2165
interim texts when building a single text. The new ``apply_delta`` method
2166
on ``KnitContent`` aids this by allowing modification of the revision id
2167
such objects represent. (Robert Collins)
2168
2169
* Pack indices are now partially parsed for specific key lookup using a
2170
bisection approach. (Robert Collins)
2171
2172
* Partial commits are now approximately 40% faster by walking over the
2173
unselected current tree more efficiently. (Robert Collins)
2174
2175
* XML inventory serialisation takes 20% less time while being stricter about
2176
the contents. (Robert Collins)
2177
2178
* Graph ``heads()`` queries have been fixed to no longer access all history
2179
unnecessarily. (Robert Collins)
2180
2181
IMPROVEMENTS:
2182
2183
* ``bzr+https://`` smart server across https now supported.
2184
(John Ferlito, Martin Pool, #128456)
2185
2186
* Mutt is now a supported mail client; set ``mail_client=mutt`` in your
2187
bazaar.conf and ``send`` will use mutt. (Keir Mierle)
2188
2189
* New option ``-c``/``--change`` for ``merge`` command for cherrypicking
2190
changes from one revision. (Alexander Belchenko, #141368)
2191
2192
* Show encodings, locale and list of plugins in the traceback message.
2193
(Martin Pool, #63894)
2194
2195
* Experimental directory formats can now be marked with
2196
``experimental = True`` during registration. (Ian Clatworthy)
2197
2198
DOCUMENTATION:
2199
2200
* New *Bazaar in Five Minutes* guide. (Matthew Revell)
2201
2202
* The hooks reference documentation is now converted to html as expected.
2203
(Ian Clatworthy)
2204
2205
BUG FIXES:
2206
2207
* Connection error reporting for the smart server has been fixed to
2208
display a user friendly message instead of a traceback.
2209
(Ian Clatworthy, #115601)
2210
2211
* Make sure to use ``O_BINARY`` when opening files to check their
2212
sha1sum. (Alexander Belchenko, John Arbash Meinel, #153493)
2213
2214
* Fix a problem with Win32 handling of the executable bit.
2215
(John Arbash Meinel, #149113)
2216
2217
* ``bzr+ssh://`` and ``sftp://`` URLs that do not specify ports explicitly
2218
no longer assume that means port 22. This allows people using OpenSSH to
2219
override the default port in their ``~/.ssh/config`` if they wish. This
2220
fixes a bug introduced in bzr 0.91. (Andrew Bennetts, #146715)
2221
2222
* Commands reporting exceptions can now be profiled and still have their
2223
data correctly dumped to a file. For example, a ``bzr commit`` with
2224
no changes still reports the operation as pointless but doing so no
2225
longer throws away the profiling data if this command is run with
2226
``--lsprof-file callgrind.out.ci`` say. (Ian Clatworthy)
2227
2228
* Fallback to ftp when paramiko is not installed and sftp can't be used for
2229
``tests/commands`` so that the test suite is still usable without
2230
paramiko.
2231
(Vincent Ladeuil, #59150)
2232
2233
* Fix commit ordering in corner case. (Aaron Bentley, #94975)
2234
2235
* Fix long standing bug in partial commit when there are renames
2236
left in tree. (Robert Collins, #140419)
2237
2238
* Fix selftest semi-random noise during http related tests.
2239
(Vincent Ladeuil, #140614)
2240
2241
* Fix typo in ftp.py making the reconnection fail on temporary errors.
2242
(Vincent Ladeuil, #154259)
2243
2244
* Fix failing test by comparing real paths to cover the case where the TMPDIR
2245
contains a symbolic link.
2246
(Vincent Ladeuil, #141382).
2247
2248
* Fix log against smart server branches that don't support tags.
2249
(James Westby, #140615)
2250
2251
* Fix pycurl http implementation by defining error codes from
2252
pycurl instead of relying on an old curl definition.
2253
(Vincent Ladeuil, #147530)
2254
2255
* Fix 'unprintable error' message when displaying BzrCheckError and
2256
some other exceptions on Python 2.5.
2257
(Martin Pool, #144633)
2258
2259
* Fix ``Inventory.copy()`` and add test for it. (Jelmer Vernooij)
2260
2261
* Handles default value for ListOption in cmd_commit.
2262
(Vincent Ladeuil, #140432)
2263
2264
* HttpServer and FtpServer need to be closed properly or a listening socket
2265
will remain opened.
2266
(Vincent Ladeuil, #140055)
2267
2268
* Monitor the .bzr directory created in the top level test
2269
directory to detect leaking tests.
2270
(Vincent Ladeuil, #147986)
2271
2272
* The basename, not the full path, is now used when checking whether
2273
the profiling dump file begins with ``callgrind.out`` or not. This
2274
fixes a bug reported by Aaron Bentley on IRC. (Ian Clatworthy)
2275
2276
* Trivial fix for invoking command ``reconfigure`` without arguments.
2277
(Rob Weir, #141629)
2278
2279
* ``WorkingTree.rename_one`` will now raise an error if normalisation of the
2280
new path causes bzr to be unable to access the file. (Robert Collins)
2281
2282
* Correctly detect a NoSuchFile when using a filezilla server. (Gary van der
2283
Merwe)
2284
2285
API BREAKS:
2286
2287
* ``bzrlib.index.GraphIndex`` now requires a size parameter to the
2288
constructor, for enabling bisection searches. (Robert Collins)
2289
2290
* ``CommitBuilder.record_entry_contents`` now requires the root entry of a
2291
tree be supplied to it, previously failing to do so would trigger a
2292
deprecation warning. (Robert Collins)
2293
2294
* ``KnitVersionedFile.add*`` will no longer cache added records even when
2295
enable_cache() has been called - the caching feature is now exclusively for
2296
reading existing data. (Robert Collins)
2297
2298
* ``ReadOnlyLockError`` is deprecated; ``LockFailed`` is usually more
2299
appropriate. (Martin Pool)
2300
2301
* Removed ``bzrlib.transport.TransportLogger`` - please see the new
2302
``trace+`` transport instead. (Robert Collins)
2303
2304
* Removed previously deprecated varargs interface to ``TestCase.run_bzr`` and
2305
deprecated methods ``TestCase.capture`` and ``TestCase.run_bzr_captured``.
2306
(Martin Pool)
2307
2308
* Removed previous deprecated ``basis_knit`` parameter to the
2309
``KnitVersionedFile`` constructor. (Robert Collins)
2310
2311
* Special purpose method ``TestCase.run_bzr_decode`` is moved to the test_non_ascii
2312
class that needs it.
2313
(Martin Pool)
2314
2315
* The class ``bzrlib.repofmt.knitrepo.KnitRepository3`` has been folded into
2316
``KnitRepository`` by parameters to the constructor. (Robert Collins)
2317
2318
* The ``VersionedFile`` interface now allows content checks to be bypassed
2319
by supplying check_content=False. This saves nearly 30% of the minimum
2320
cost to store a version of a file. (Robert Collins)
2321
2322
* Tree's with bad state such as files with no length or sha will no longer
2323
be silently accepted by the repository XML serialiser. To serialise
2324
inventories without such data, pass working=True to write_inventory.
2325
(Robert Collins)
2326
2327
* ``VersionedFile.fix_parents`` has been removed as a harmful API.
2328
``VersionedFile.join`` will no longer accept different parents on either
2329
side of a join - it will either ignore them, or error, depending on the
2330
implementation. See notes when upgrading for more information.
2331
(Robert Collins)
2332
2333
INTERNALS:
2334
2335
* ``bzrlib.transport.Transport.put_file`` now returns the number of bytes
2336
put by the method call, to allow avoiding stat-after-write or
2337
housekeeping in callers. (Robert Collins)
2338
2339
* ``bzrlib.xml_serializer.Serializer`` is now responsible for checking that
2340
mandatory attributes are present on serialisation and deserialisation.
2341
This fixes some holes in API usage and allows better separation between
2342
physical storage and object serialisation. (Robert Collins)
2343
2344
* New class ``bzrlib.errors.InternalBzrError`` which is just a convenient
2345
shorthand for deriving from BzrError and setting internal_error = True.
2346
(Robert Collins)
2347
2348
* New method ``bzrlib.mutabletree.update_to_one_parent_via_delta`` for
2349
moving the state of a parent tree to a new version via a delta rather than
2350
a complete replacement tree. (Robert Collins)
2351
2352
* New method ``bzrlib.osutils.minimum_path_selection`` useful for removing
2353
duplication from user input, when a user mentions both a path and an item
2354
contained within that path. (Robert Collins)
2355
2356
* New method ``bzrlib.repository.Repository.is_write_locked`` useful for
2357
determining if a repository is write locked. (Robert Collins)
2358
2359
* New method on ``bzrlib.tree.Tree`` ``path_content_summary`` provides a
2360
tuple containing the key information about a path for commit processing
2361
to complete. (Robert Collins)
2362
2363
* New method on xml serialisers, write_inventory_to_lines, which matches the
2364
API used by knits for adding content. (Robert Collins)
2365
2366
* New module ``bzrlib.bisect_multi`` with generic multiple-bisection-at-once
2367
logic, currently only available for byte-based lookup
2368
(``bisect_multi_bytes``). (Robert Collins)
2369
2370
* New helper ``bzrlib.tuned_gzip.bytes_to_gzip`` which takes a byte string
2371
and returns a gzipped version of the same. This is used to avoid a bunch
2372
of api friction during adding of knit hunks. (Robert Collins)
2373
2374
* New parameter on ``bzrlib.transport.Transport.readv``
2375
``adjust_for_latency`` which changes readv from returning strictly the
2376
requested data to inserted return larger ranges and in forward read order
2377
to reduce the effect of network latency. (Robert Collins)
2378
2379
* New parameter yield_parents on ``Inventory.iter_entries_by_dir`` which
2380
causes the parents of a selected id to be returned recursively, so all the
2381
paths from the root down to each element of selected_file_ids are
2382
returned. (Robert Collins)
2383
2384
* Knit joining has been enhanced to support plain to annotated conversion
2385
and annotated to plain conversion. (Ian Clatworthy)
2386
2387
* The CommitBuilder method ``record_entry_contents`` now returns summary
2388
information about the effect of the commit on the repository. This tuple
2389
contains an inventory delta item if the entry changed from the basis, and a
2390
boolean indicating whether a new file graph node was recorded.
2391
(Robert Collins)
2392
2393
* The python path used in the Makefile can now be overridden.
2394
(Andrew Bennetts, Ian Clatworthy)
2395
2396
TESTING:
2397
2398
* New transport implementation ``trace+`` which is useful for testing,
2399
logging activity taken to its _activity attribute. (Robert Collins)
2400
2401
* When running bzr commands within the test suite, internal exceptions are
2402
not caught and reported in the usual way, but rather allowed to propagate
2403
up and be visible to the test suite. A new API ``run_bzr_catch_user_errors``
2404
makes this behavior available to other users.
2405
(Martin Pool)
2406
2407
* New method ``TestCase.call_catch_warnings`` for testing methods that
2408
raises a Python warning. (Martin Pool)

bzr 0.91 2007-09-26
2412
-------------------
2413
2414
BUG FIXES:
2415
2416
* Print a warning instead of aborting the ``python setup.py install``
2417
process if building of a C extension is not possible.
2418
(Lukáš Lalinský, Alexander Belchenko)
2419
2420
* Fix commit ordering in corner case (Aaron Bentley, #94975)
2421
2422
* Fix ''bzr info bzr://host/'' and other operations on ''bzr://' URLs with
2423
an implicit port. We were incorrectly raising PathNotChild due to
2424
inconsistent treatment of the ''_port'' attribute on the Transport object.
2425
(Andrew Bennetts, #133965)
2426
2427
* Make RemoteRepository.sprout cope gracefully with servers that don't
2428
support the ``Repository.tarball`` request.
2429
(Andrew Bennetts)

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

bzr 0.90 2007-08-28
2761
-------------------
2762
2763
IMPROVEMENTS:
2764
2765
* Documentation is now organized into multiple directories with a level
2766
added for different languages or locales. Added the Mini Tutorial
2767
and Quick Start Summary (en) documents from the Wiki, improving the
2768
content and readability of the former. Formatted NEWS as Release Notes
2769
complete with a Table of Conents, one heading per release. Moved the
2770
Developer Guide into the main document catalog and provided a link
2771
from the developer document catalog back to the main one.

2774
2775
API CHANGES:
2776
2777
* The static convenience method ``BzrDir.create_repository``
2778
is deprecated. Callers should instead create a ``BzrDir`` instance
2779
and call ``create_repository`` on that. (Martin Pool)

bzr 0.90rc1 2007-08-14
2783
----------------------
2784
2785
BUGFIXES:
2786
2787
* ``bzr init`` should connect to the remote location one time only. We
2788
have been connecting several times because we forget to pass around the
2789
Transport object. This modifies ``BzrDir.create_branch_convenience``,
2790
so that we can give it the Transport we already have.
2791
(John Arbash Meinel, Vincent Ladeuil, #111702)
2792
2793
* Get rid of sftp connection cache (get rid of the FTP one too).
2794
(Vincent Ladeuil, #43731)
2795
2796
* bzr branch {local|remote} remote don't try to create a working tree
2797
anymore.
2798
(Vincent Ladeuil, #112173)
2799
2800
* All identified multiple connections for a single bzr command have been
2801
fixed. See bzrlib/tests/commands directory.
2802
(Vincent Ladeuil)
2803
2804
* ``bzr rm`` now does not insist on ``--force`` to delete files that
2805
have been renamed but not otherwise modified. (Marius Kruger,
2806
#111664)
2807
2808
* ``bzr selftest --bench`` no longer emits deprecation warnings
2809
(Lukáš Lalinský)
2810
2811
* ``bzr status`` now honours FILE parameters for conflict lists
2812
(Aaron Bentley, #127606)
2813
2814
* ``bzr checkout`` now honours -r when reconstituting a working tree.
2815
It also honours -r 0. (Aaron Bentley, #127708)
2816
2817
* ``bzr add *`` no more fails on Windows if working tree contains
2818
non-ascii file names. (Kuno Meyer, #127361)
2819
2820
* allow ``easy_install bzr`` runs without fatal errors.
2821
(Alexander Belchenko, #125521)
2822
2823
* Graph._filter_candidate_lca does not raise KeyError if a candidate
2824
is eliminated just before it would normally be examined. (Aaron Bentley)
2825
2826
* SMTP connection failures produce a nice message, not a traceback.
2827
(Aaron Bentley)
2828
2829
IMPROVEMENTS:
2830
2831
* Don't show "dots" progress indicators when run non-interactively, such
2832
as from cron. (Martin Pool)
2833
2834
* ``info`` now formats locations more nicely and lists "submit" and
2835
"public" branches (Aaron Bentley)
2836
2837
* New ``pack`` command that will trigger database compression within
2838
the repository (Robert Collins)
2839
2840
* Implement ``_KnitIndex._load_data`` in a pyrex extension. The pyrex
2841
version is approximately 2-3x faster at parsing a ``.kndx`` file.
2842
Which yields a measurable improvement for commands which have to
2843
read from the repository, such as a 1s => 0.75s improvement in
2844
``bzr diff`` when there are changes to be shown. (John Arbash Meinel)
2845
2846
* Merge is now faster. Depending on the scenario, it can be more than 2x
2847
faster. (Aaron Bentley)
2848
2849
* Give a clearer warning, and allow ``python setup.py install`` to
2850
succeed even if pyrex is not available.
2851
(John Arbash Meinel)
2852
2853
* ``DirState._read_dirblocks`` now has an optional Pyrex
2854
implementation. This improves the speed of any command that has to
2855
read the entire DirState. (``diff``, ``status``, etc, improve by
2856
about 10%).
2857
``bisect_dirblocks`` has also been improved, which helps all
2858
``_get_entry`` type calls (whenever we are searching for a
2859
particular entry in the in-memory DirState).
2860
(John Arbash Meinel)
2861
2862
* ``bzr pull`` and ``bzr push`` no longer do a complete walk of the
2863
branch revision history for ui display unless -v is supplied.
2864
(Robert Collins)
2865
2866
* ``bzr log -rA..B`` output shifted to the left margin if the log only
2867
contains merge revisions. (Kent Gibson)
2868
2869
* The ``plugins`` command is now public with improved help.
2870
(Ian Clatworthy)
2871
2872
* New bundle and merge directive formats are faster to generate, and
2873
2874
* Annotate merge now works when there are local changes. (Aaron Bentley)
2875
2876
* Commit now only shows the progress in terms of directories instead of
2877
entries. (Ian Clatworthy)
2878
2879
* Fix ``KnitRepository.get_revision_graph`` to not request the graph 2
2880
times. This makes ``get_revision_graph`` 2x faster. (John Arbash
2881
Meinel)
2882
2883
* Fix ``VersionedFile.get_graph()`` to avoid using
2884
``set.difference_update(other)``, which has bad scaling when
2885
``other`` is large. This improves ``VF.get_graph([version_id])`` for
2886
a 12.5k graph from 2.9s down to 200ms. (John Arbash Meinel)
2887
2888
* The ``--lsprof-file`` option now generates output for KCacheGrind if
2889
the file starts with ``callgrind.out``. This matches the default file
2890
filtering done by KCacheGrind's Open Dialog. (Ian Clatworthy)
2891
2892
* Fix ``bzr update`` to avoid an unnecessary
2893
``branch.get_master_branch`` call, which avoids 1 extra connection
2894
to the remote server. (Partial fix for #128076, John Arbash Meinel)
2895
2896
* Log errors from the smart server in the trace file, to make debugging
2897
test failures (and live failures!) easier. (Andrew Bennetts)
2898
2899
* The HTML version of the man page has been superceded by a more
2900
comprehensive manual called the Bazaar User Reference. This manual
2901
is completed generated from the online help topics. As part of this
2902
change, limited reStructuredText is now explicitly supported in help
2903
topics and command help with 'unnatural' markup being removed prior
2904
to display by the online help or inclusion in the man page.
2905
(Ian Clatworthy)
2906
2907
* HTML documentation now use files extension ``*.html``
2908
(Alexander Belchenko)
2909
2910
* The cache of ignore definitions is now cleared in WorkingTree.unlock()
2911
so that changes to .bzrignore aren't missed. (#129694, Daniel Watkins)
2912
2913
* ``bzr selftest --strict`` fails if there are any missing features or
2914
expected test failures. (Daniel Watkins, #111914)
2915
2916
* Link to registration survey added to README. (Ian Clatworthy)
2917
2918
* Windows standalone installer show link to registration survey
2919
when installation finished. (Alexander Belchenko)
2920
2921
LIBRARY API BREAKS:
2922
2923
* Deprecated dictionary ``bzrlib.option.SHORT_OPTIONS`` removed.
2924
Options are now required to provide a help string and it must
2925
comply with the style guide by being one or more sentences with an
2926
initial capital and final period. (Martin Pool)
2927
2928
* KnitIndex.get_parents now returns tuples. (Robert Collins)
2929
2930
* Ancient unused ``Repository.text_store`` attribute has been removed.
2931
(Robert Collins)
2932
2933
* The ``bzrlib.pack`` interface has changed to use tuples of bytestrings
2934
rather than just bytestrings, making it easier to represent multiple
2935
element names. As this interface was not used by any internal facilities
2936
since it was introduced in 0.18 no API compatibility is being preserved.
2937
The serialised form of these packs is identical with 0.18 when a single
2938
element tuple is in use. (Robert Collins)
2939
2940
INTERNALS:
2941
2942
* merge now uses ``iter_changes`` to calculate changes, which makes room for
2943
future performance increases. It is also more consistent with other
2944
operations that perform comparisons, and reduces reliance on
2945
Tree.inventory. (Aaron Bentley)
2946
2947
* Refactoring of transport classes connected to a remote server.
2948
ConnectedTransport is a new class that serves as a basis for all
2949
transports needing to connect to a remote server. transport.split_url
2950
have been deprecated, use the static method on the object instead. URL
2951
tests have been refactored too.
2952
(Vincent Ladeuil)
2953
2954
* Better connection sharing for ConnectedTransport objects.
2955
transport.get_transport() now accepts a 'possible_transports' parameter.
2956
If a newly requested transport can share a connection with one of the
2957
list, it will.
2958
(Vincent Ladeuil)
2959
2960
* Most functions now accept ``bzrlib.revision.NULL_REVISION`` to indicate
2961
the null revision, and consider using ``None`` for this purpose
2962
deprecated. (Aaron Bentley)
2963
2964
* New ``index`` module with abstract index functionality. This will be
2965
used during the planned changes in the repository layer. Currently the
2966
index layer provides a graph aware immutable index, a builder for the
2967
same index type to allow creating them, and finally a composer for
2968
such indices to allow the use of many indices in a single query. The
2969
index performance is not optimised, however the API is stable to allow
2970
development on top of the index. (Robert Collins)
2971
2972
* ``bzrlib.dirstate.cmp_by_dirs`` can be used to compare two paths by
2973
their directory sections. This is equivalent to comparing
2974
``path.split('/')``, only without having to split the paths.
2975
This has a Pyrex implementation available.
2976
(John Arbash Meinel)
2977
2978
* New transport decorator 'unlistable+' which disables the list_dir
2979
functionality for testing.
2980
2981
* Deprecated ``change_entry`` in transform.py. (Ian Clatworthy)
2982
2983
* RevisionTree.get_weave is now deprecated. Tree.plan_merge is now used
2984
for performing annotate-merge. (Aaron Bentley)
2985
2986
* New EmailMessage class to create email messages. (Adeodato Simó)
2987
2988
* Unused functions on the private interface KnitIndex have been removed.
2989
(Robert Collins)
2990
2991
* New ``knit.KnitGraphIndex`` which provides a ``KnitIndex`` layered on top
2992
of a ``index.GraphIndex``. (Robert Collins)
2993
2994
* New ``knit.KnitVersionedFile.iter_parents`` method that allows querying
2995
the parents of many knit nodes at once, reducing round trips to the
2996
underlying index. (Robert Collins)
2997
2998
* Graph now has an is_ancestor method, various bits use it.
2999
(Aaron Bentley)
3000
3001
* The ``-Dhpss`` flag now includes timing information. As well as
3002
logging when a new connection is opened. (John Arbash Meinel)
3003
3004
* ``bzrlib.pack.ContainerWriter`` now returns an offset, length tuple to
3005
callers when inserting data, allowing generation of readv style access
3006
during pack creation, without needing a separate pass across the output
3007
pack to gather such details. (Robert Collins)
3008
3009
* ``bzrlib.pack.make_readv_reader`` allows readv based access to pack
3010
files that are stored on a transport. (Robert Collins)
3011
3012
* New ``Repository.has_same_location`` method that reports if two
3013
repository objects refer to the same repository (although with some risk
3014
of false negatives). (Andrew Bennetts)
3015
3016
* InterTree.compare now passes require_versioned on correctly.
3017
(Marius Kruger)
3018
3019
* New methods on Repository - ``start_write_group``,
3020
``commit_write_group``, ``abort_write_group`` and ``is_in_write_group`` -
3021
which provide a clean hook point for transactional Repositories - ones
3022
where all the data for a fetch or commit needs to be made atomically
3023
available in one step. This allows the write lock to remain while making
3024
a series of data insertions. (e.g. data conversion). (Robert Collins)
3025
3026
* In ``bzrlib.knit`` the internal interface has been altered to use
3027
3-tuples (index, pos, length) rather than two-tuples (pos, length) to
3028
describe where data in a knit is, allowing knits to be split into
3029
many files. (Robert Collins)
3030
3031
* ``bzrlib.knit._KnitData`` split into cache management and physical access
3032
with two access classes - ``_PackAccess`` and ``_KnitAccess`` defined.
3033
The former provides access into a .pack file, and the latter provides the
3034
current production repository form of .knit files. (Robert Collins)
3035
3036
TESTING:
3037
3038
* Remove selftest ``--clean-output``, ``--numbered-dirs`` and
3039
``--keep-output`` options, which are obsolete now that tests
3040
are done within directories in $TMPDIR. (Martin Pool)
3041
3042
* The SSH_AUTH_SOCK environment variable is now reset to avoid
3043
interaction with any running ssh agents. (Jelmer Vernooij, #125955)
3044
3045
* run_bzr_subprocess handles parameters the same way as run_bzr:
3046
either a string or a list of strings should be passed as the first
3047
parameter. Varargs-style parameters are deprecated. (Aaron Bentley)

3061
BUGFIXES:
3062
3063
* Do not suppress pipe errors, etc. in non-display commands
3064
(Alexander Belchenko, #87178)
3065
3066
* Display a useful error message when the user requests to annotate
3067
a file that is not present in the specified revision.
3068
(James Westby, #122656)
3069
3070
* Commands that use status flags now have a reference to 'help
3071
status-flags'. (Daniel Watkins, #113436)
3072
3073
* Work around python-2.4.1 inhability to correctly parse the
3074
authentication header.
3075
(Vincent Ladeuil, #121889)
3076
3077
* Use exact encoding for merge directives. (Adeodato Simó, #120591)
3078
3079
* Fix tempfile permissions error in smart server tar bundling under
3080
Windows. (Martin _, #119330)
3081
3082
* Fix detection of directory entries in the inventory. (James Westby)
3083
3084
* Fix handling of http code 400: Bad Request When issuing too many ranges.
3085
(Vincent Ladeuil, #115209)
3086
3087
* Issue a CONNECT request when connecting to an https server
3088
via a proxy to enable SSL tunneling.
3089
(Vincent Ladeuil, #120678)
3090
3091
* Fix ``bzr log -r`` to support selecting merge revisions, both
3092
individually and as part of revision ranges.
3093
(Kent Gibson, #4663)
3094
3095
* Don't leave cruft behind when failing to acquire a lockdir.
3096
(Martin Pool, #109169)
3097
3098
* Don't use the '-f' strace option during tests.
3099
(Vincent Ladeuil, #102019).
3100
3101
* Warn when setting ``push_location`` to a value that will be masked by
3102
locations.conf. (Aaron Bentley, #122286)
3103
3104
* Fix commit ordering in corner case (Aaron Bentley, #94975)
3105
3106
* Make annotate behave in a non-ASCII world (Adeodato Simó).
3107
3108
IMPROVEMENTS:
3109
3110
* The --lsprof-file option now dumps a text rendering of the profiling
3111
information if the filename ends in ".txt". It will also convert the
3112
profiling information to a format suitable for KCacheGrind if the
3113
output filename ends in ".callgrind". Fixes to the lsprofcalltree
3114
conversion process by Jean Paul Calderone and Itamar were also merged.
3115
See http://ddaa.net/blog/python/lsprof-calltree. (Ian Clatworthy)
3116
3117
* ``info`` now defaults to non-verbose mode, displaying only paths and
3118
abbreviated format info. ``info -v`` displays all the information
3119
formerly displayed by ``info``. (Aaron Bentley, Adeodato Simó)
3120
3121
* ``bzr missing`` now has better option names ``--this`` and ``--other``.
3122
(Elliot Murphy)
3123
3124
* The internal ``weave-list`` command has become ``versionedfile-list``,
3125
and now lists knits as well as weaves. (Aaron Bentley)
3126
3127
* Automatic merge base selection uses a faster algorithm that chooses
3128
better bases in criss-cross merge situations (Aaron Bentley)
3129
3130
* Progress reporting in ``commit`` has been improved. The various logical
3131
stages are now reported on as follows, namely:
3132
3133
* Collecting changes [Entry x/y] - Stage n/m
3134
* Saving data locally - Stage n/m
3135
* Uploading data to master branch - Stage n/m
3136
* Updating the working tree - Stage n/m
3137
* Running post commit hooks - Stage n/m
3138
3139
If there is no master branch, the 3rd stage is omitted and the total
3140
number of stages is adjusted accordingly.
3141
3142
Each hook that is run after commit is listed with a name (as hooks
3143
can be slow it is useful feedback).
3144
(Ian Clatworthy, Robert Collins)
3145
3146
* Various operations that are now faster due to avoiding unnecessary
3147
topological sorts. (Aaron Bentley)
3148
3149
* Make merge directives robust against broken bundles. (Aaron Bentley)
3150
3151
* The lsprof filename note is emitted via trace.note(), not standard
3152
output. (Aaron Bentley)
3153
3154
* ``bzrlib`` now exports explicit API compatibility information to assist
3155
library users and plugins. See the ``bzrlib.api`` module for details.
3156
(Robert Collins)
3157
3158
* Remove unnecessary lock probes when acquiring a lockdir.
3159
(Martin Pool)
3160
3161
* ``bzr --version`` now shows the location of the bzr log file, which
3162
is especially useful on Windows. (Martin Pool)
3163
3164
* -D now supports hooks to get debug tracing of hooks (though its currently
3165
minimal in nature). (Robert Collins)
3166
3167
* Long log format reports deltas on merge revisions.
3168
(John Arbash Meinel, Kent Gibson)
3169
3170
* Make initial push over ftp more resilient. (John Arbash Meinel)
3171
3172
* Print a summary of changes for update just like pull does.
3173
(Daniel Watkins, #113990)
3174
3175
* Add a -Dhpss option to trace smart protocol requests and responses.
3176
(Andrew Bennetts)
3177
3178
LIBRARY API BREAKS:
3179
3180
* Testing cleanups -
3181
``bzrlib.repository.RepositoryTestProviderAdapter`` has been moved
3182
to ``bzrlib.tests.repository_implementations``;
3183
``bzrlib.repository.InterRepositoryTestProviderAdapter`` has been moved
3184
to ``bzrlib.tests.interrepository_implementations``;
3185
``bzrlib.transport.TransportTestProviderAdapter`` has moved to
3186
``bzrlib.tests.test_transport_implementations``.
3187
``bzrlib.branch.BranchTestProviderAdapter`` has moved to
3188
``bzrlib.tests.branch_implementations``.
3189
``bzrlib.bzrdir.BzrDirTestProviderAdapter`` has moved to
3190
``bzrlib.tests.bzrdir_implementations``.
3191
``bzrlib.versionedfile.InterVersionedFileTestProviderAdapter`` has moved
3192
to ``bzrlib.tests.interversionedfile_implementations``.
3193
``bzrlib.store.revision.RevisionStoreTestProviderAdapter`` has moved to
3194
``bzrlib.tests.revisionstore_implementations``.
3195
``bzrlib.workingtree.WorkingTreeTestProviderAdapter`` has moved to
3196
``bzrlib.tests.workingtree_implementations``.
3197
These changes are an API break in the testing infrastructure only.
3198
(Robert Collins)
3199
3200
* Relocate TestCaseWithRepository to be more central. (Robert Collins)
3201
3202
* ``bzrlib.add.smart_add_tree`` will no longer perform glob expansion on
3203
win32. Callers of the function should do this and use the new
3204
``MutableTree.smart_add`` method instead. (Robert Collins)
3205
3206
* ``bzrlib.add.glob_expand_for_win32`` is now
3207
``bzrlib.win32utils.glob_expand``. (Robert Collins)
3208
3209
* ``bzrlib.add.FastPath`` is now private and moved to
3210
``bzrlib.mutabletree._FastPath``. (Robert Collins, Martin Pool)
3211
3212
* ``LockDir.wait`` removed. (Martin Pool)
3213
3214
* The ``SmartServer`` hooks API has changed for the ``server_started`` and
3215
``server_stopped`` hooks. The first parameter is now an iterable of
3216
backing URLs rather than a single URL. This is to reflect that many
3217
URLs may map to the external URL of the server. E.g. the server interally
3218
may have a chrooted URL but also the local file:// URL will be at the
3219
same location. (Robert Collins)
3220
3221
INTERNALS:
3222
3223
* New SMTPConnection class to unify email handling. (Adeodato Simó)
3224
3225
* Fix documentation of BzrError. (Adeodato Simó)
3226
3227
* Make BzrBadParameter an internal error. (Adeodato Simó)
3228
3229
* Remove use of 'assert False' to raise an exception unconditionally.
3230
(Martin Pool)
3231
3232
* Give a cleaner error when failing to decode knit index entry.
3233
(Martin Pool)
3234
3235
* TreeConfig would mistakenly search the top level when asked for options
3236
from a section. It now respects the section argument and only
3237
searches the specified section. (James Westby)
3238
3239
* Improve ``make api-docs`` output. (John Arbash Meinel)
3240
3241
* Use os.lstat rather than os.stat for osutils.make_readonly and
3242
osutils.make_writeable. This makes the difftools plugin more
3243
robust when dangling symlinks are found. (Elliot Murphy)
3244
3245
* New ``-Dlock`` option to log (to ~/.bzr.log) information on when
3246
lockdirs are taken or released. (Martin Pool)
3247
3248
* ``bzrlib`` Hooks are now nameable using ``Hooks.name_hook``. This
3249
allows a nicer UI when hooks are running as the current hook can
3250
be displayed. (Robert Collins)
3251
3252
* ``Transport.get`` has had its interface made more clear for ease of use.
3253
Retrieval of a directory must now fail with either 'PathError' at open
3254
time, or raise 'ReadError' on a read. (Robert Collins)
3255
3256
* New method ``_maybe_expand_globs`` on the ``Command`` class for
3257
dealing with unexpanded glob lists - e.g. on the win32 platform. This
3258
was moved from ``bzrlib.add._prepare_file_list``. (Robert Collins)
3259
3260
* ``bzrlib.add.smart_add`` and ``bzrlib.add.smart_add_tree`` are now
3261
deprecated in favour of ``MutableTree.smart_add``. (Robert Collins,
3262
Martin Pool)
3263
3264
* New method ``external_url`` on Transport for obtaining the url to
3265
hand to external processes. (Robert Collins)
3266
3267
* Teach windows installers to build pyrex/C extensions.
3268
(Alexander Belchenko)
3269
3270
TESTING:
3271
3272
* Removed the ``--keep-output`` option from selftest and clean up test
3273
directories as they're used. This reduces the IO load from
3274
running the test suite and cuts the time by about half.
3275
(Andrew Bennetts, Martin Pool)
3276
3277
* Add scenarios as a public attribute on the TestAdapter classes to allow
3278
modification of the generated scenarios before adaption and easier
3279
testing. (Robert Collins)
3280
3281
* New testing support class ``TestScenarioApplier`` which multiplies
3282
out a single teste by a list of supplied scenarios. (RobertCollins)
3283
3284
* Setting ``repository_to_test_repository`` on a repository_implementations
3285
test will cause it to be called during repository creation, allowing the
3286
testing of repository classes which are not based around the Format
3287
concept. For example a repository adapter can be tested in this manner,
3288
by altering the repository scenarios to include a scenario that sets this
3289
attribute during the test parameterisation in
3290
``bzrlib.tests.repository.repository_implementations``. (Robert Collins)
3291
3292
* Clean up many of the APIs for blackbox testing of Bazaar. The standard
3293
interface is now self.run_bzr. The command to run can be passed as
3294
either a list of parameters, a string containing the command line, or
3295
(deprecated) varargs parameters. (Martin Pool)
3296
3297
* The base TestCase now isolates tests from -D parameters by clearing
3298
``debug.debug_flags`` and restores it afterwards. (Robert Collins)
3299
3300
* Add a relpath parameter to get_transport methods in test framework to
3301
avoid useless cloning.

3320
NOTES WHEN UPGRADING:
3321
3322
* The kind() and is_executable() APIs on the WorkingTree interface no
3323
longer implicitly (read) locks and unlocks the tree. This *might*
3324
impact some plug-ins and tools using this part of the API. If you find
3325
an issue that may be caused by this change, please let us know,
3326
particularly the plug-in/tool maintainer. If encountered, the API
3327
fix is to surround kind() and is_executable() calls with lock_read()
3328
and unlock() like so::
3329
3330
work_tree.lock_read()
3331
try:
3332
kind = work_tree.kind(...)
3333
finally:
3334
work_tree.unlock()
3335
3336
INTERNALS:
3337
* Rework of LogFormatter API to provide beginning/end of log hooks and to
3338
encapsulate the details of the revision to be logged in a LogRevision
3339
object.
3340
In long log formats, merge revision ids are only shown when --show-ids
3341
is specified, and are labelled "revision-id:", as per mainline
3342
revisions, instead of "merged:". (Kent Gibson)
3343
3344
* New ``BranchBuilder`` API which allows the construction of particular
3345
histories quickly. Useful for testing and potentially other applications
3346
too. (Robert Collins)
3347
3348
IMPROVEMENTS:
3349
3350
* There are two new help topics, working-trees and repositories that
3351
attempt to explain these concepts. (James Westby, John Arbash Meinel,
3352
Aaron Bentley)
3353
3354
* Added ``bzr log --limit`` to report a limited number of revisions.
3355
(Kent Gibson, #3659)
3356
3357
* Revert does not try to preserve file contents that were originally
3358
produced by reverting to a historical revision. (Aaron Bentley)
3359
3360
* ``bzr log --short`` now includes ``[merge]`` for revisions which
3361
have more than one parent. This is a small improvement to help
3362
understanding what changes have occurred
3363
(John Arbash Meinel, #83887)
3364
3365
* TreeTransform avoids many renames when contructing large trees,
3366
improving speed. 3.25x speedups have been observed for construction of
3367
kernel-sized-trees, and checkouts are 1.28x faster. (Aaron Bentley)
3368
3369
* Commit on large trees is now faster. In my environment, a commit of
3370
a small change to the Mozilla tree (55k files) has dropped from
3371
66 seconds to 32 seconds. For a small tree of 600 files, commit of a
3372
small change is 33% faster. (Ian Clatworthy)
3373
3374
* New --create-prefix option to bzr init, like for push. (Daniel Watkins,
3375
#56322)
3376
3377
BUGFIXES:
3378
3379
* ``bzr push`` should only connect to the remote location one time.
3380
We have been connecting 3 times because we forget to pass around
3381
the Transport object. This adds ``BzrDir.clone_on_transport()``, so
3382
that we can pass in the Transport that we already have.
3383
(John Arbash Meinel, #75721)
3384
3385
* ``DirState.set_state_from_inventory()`` needs to properly order
3386
based on split paths, not just string paths.
3387
(John Arbash Meinel, #115947)
3388
3389
* Let TestUIFactoy encode the password prompt with its own stdout.
3390
(Vincent Ladeuil, #110204)
3391
3392
* pycurl should take use the range header that takes the range hint
3393
into account.
3394
(Vincent Ladeuil, #112719)
3395
3396
* WorkingTree4.get_file_sha1 no longer raises an exception when invoked
3397
on a missing file. (Aaron Bentley, #118186)
3398
3399
* WorkingTree.remove works correctly with tree references, and when pwd is
3400
not the tree root. (Aaron Bentley)
3401
3402
* Merge no longer fails when a file is renamed in one tree and deleted
3403
in the other. (Aaron Bentley, #110279)
3404
3405
* ``revision-info`` now accepts dotted revnos, doesn't require a tree,
3406
and defaults to the last revision (Matthew Fuller, #90048)
3407
3408
* Tests no longer fail when BZR_REMOTE_PATH is set in the environment.
3409
(Daniel Watkins, #111958)
3410
3411
* ``bzr branch -r revid:foo`` can be used to branch any revision in
3412
your repository. (Previously Branch6 only supported revisions in your
3413
mainline). (John Arbash Meinel, #115343)

3418
BUGFIXES:
3419
3420
* Handle when you have 2 directories with similar names, but one has a
3421
hyphen. (``'abc'`` versus ``'abc-2'``). The WT4._iter_changes
3422
iterator was using direct comparison and ``'abc/a'`` sorts after
3423
``'abc-2'``, but ``('abc', 'a')`` sorts before ``('abc-2',)``.
3424
(John Arbash Meinel, #111227)
3425
3426
* Handle when someone renames a file on disk without telling bzr.
3427
Previously we would report the first file as missing, but not show
3428
the new unknown file. (John Arbash Meinel, #111288)
3429
3430
* Avoid error when running hooks after pulling into or pushing from
3431
a branch bound to a smartserver branch. (Martin Pool, #111968)
3432
3433
IMPROVEMENTS:
3434
3435
* Move developer documentation to doc/developers/. This reduces clutter in
3436
the root of the source tree and allows HACKING to be split into multiple
3437
files. (Robert Collins, Alexander Belchenko)
3438
3439
* Clean up the ``WorkingTree4._iter_changes()`` internal loops as well as
3440
``DirState.update_entry()``. This optimizes the core logic for ``bzr
3441
diff`` and ``bzr status`` significantly improving the speed of
3442
both. (John Arbash Meinel)

3446
3447
BUGFIXES:
3448
3449
* Handle the case when you delete a file, and then rename another file
3450
on top of it. Also handle the case of ``bzr rm --keep foo``. ``bzr
3451
status`` should show the removed file and an unknown file in its
3452
place. (John Arbash Meinel, #109993)
3453
3454
* Bundles properly read and write revision properties that have an
3455
empty value. And when the value is not ASCII.
3456
(John Arbash Meinel, #109613)
3457
3458
* Fix the bzr commit message to be in text mode.
3459
(Alexander Belchenko, #110901)
3460

* Also handle when you rename a file and create a file where it used
3462
to be. (John Arbash Meinel, #110256)
3463
3464
* ``WorkingTree4._iter_changes`` should not descend into unversioned
3465
directories. (John Arbash Meinel, #110399)

3468
-----------------------
3469
3470
NOTES WHEN UPGRADING:
3471
3472
* ``bzr remove`` and ``bzr rm`` will now remove the working file, if
3473
it could be recovered again.
3474
This has been done for consistency with svn and the unix rm command.
3475
The old ``remove`` behaviour has been retained in the new option
3476
``bzr remove --keep``, which will just stop versioning the file,
3477
but not delete it.
3478
``bzr remove --force`` have been added which will always delete the
3479
files.
3480
``bzr remove`` is also more verbose.
3481
(Marius Kruger, #82602)
3482
3483
IMPROVEMENTS:
3484
3485
* Merge directives can now be supplied as input to `merge` and `pull`,
3486
like bundles can. (Aaron Bentley)
3487
3488
* Sending the SIGQUIT signal to bzr, which can be done on Unix by
3489
pressing Control-Backslash, drops bzr into a debugger. Type ``'c'``
3490
to continue. This can be disabled by setting the environment variable
3491
``BZR_SIGQUIT_PDB=0``. (Martin Pool)
3492
3493
* selftest now supports --list-only to list tests instead of running
3494
them. (Ian Clatworthy)
3495
3496
* selftest now supports --exclude PATTERN (or -x PATTERN) to exclude
3497
tests with names that match that regular expression.
3498
(Ian Clatworthy, #102679)
3499
3500
* selftest now supports --randomize SEED to run tests in a random order.
3501
SEED is typically the value 'now' meaning 'use the current time'.
3502
(Ian Clatworthy, #102686)
3503
3504
* New option ``--fixes`` to commit, which stores bug fixing annotations as
3505
revision properties. Built-in support for Launchpad, Debian, Trac and
3506
Bugzilla bug trackers. (Jonathan Lange, James Henstridge, Robert Collins)
3507
3508
* New API, ``bzrlib.bugtracker.tracker_registry``, for adding support for
3509
other bug trackers to ``fixes``. (Jonathan Lange, James Henstridge,
3510
Robert Collins)
3511
3512
* ``selftest`` has new short options ``-f`` and ``-1``. (Martin
3513
Pool)
3514
3515
* ``bzrlib.tsort.MergeSorter`` optimizations. Change the inner loop
3516
into using local variables instead of going through ``self._var``.
3517
Improves the time to ``merge_sort`` a 10k revision graph by
3518
approximately 40% (~700->400ms). (John Arbash Meinel)
3519
3520
* ``make docs`` now creates a man page at ``man1/bzr.1`` fixing bug 107388.
3521
(Robert Collins)
3522
3523
* ``bzr help`` now provides cross references to other help topics using
3524
the _see_also facility on command classes. Likewise the bzr_man
3525
documentation, and the bzr.1 man page also include this information.
3526
(Robert Collins)
3527
3528
* Tags are now included in logs, that use the long log formatter.
3529
(Erik Bågfors, Alexander Belchenko)
3530
3531
* ``bzr help`` provides a clearer message when a help topic cannot be
3532
found. (Robert Collins, #107656)
3533
3534
* ``bzr help`` now accepts optional prefixes for command help. The help
3535
for all commands can now be found at ``bzr help commands/COMMANDNAME``
3536
as well as ``bzr help COMMANDNAME`` (which only works for commands
3537
where the name is not the same as a more general help topic).
3538
(Robert Collins)
3539
3540
* ``bzr help PLUGINNAME`` will now return the module docstring from the
3541
plugin PLUGINNAME. (Robert Collins, #50408)
3542
3543
* New help topic ``urlspec`` which lists the availables transports.
3544
(Goffredo Baroncelli)
3545
3546
* doc/server.txt updated to document the default bzr:// port
3547
and also update the blurb about the hpss' current status.
3548
(Robert Collins, #107125).
3549
3550
* ``bzr serve`` now listens on interface 0.0.0.0 by default, making it
3551
serve out to the local LAN (and anyone in the world that can reach the
3552
machine running ``bzr serve``. (Robert Collins, #98918)
3553
3554
* A new smart server protocol version has been added. It prefixes requests
3555
and responses with an explicit version identifier so that future protocol
3556
revisions can be dealt with gracefully. (Andrew Bennetts, Robert Collins)
3557
3558
* The bzr protocol version 2 indicates success or failure in every response
3559
without depending on particular commands encoding that consistently,
3560
allowing future client refactorings to be much more robust about error
3561
handling. (Robert Collins, Martin Pool, Andrew Bennetts)
3562
3563
* The smart protocol over HTTP client has been changed to always post to the
3564
same ``.bzr/smart`` URL under the original location when it can. This allows
3565
HTTP servers to only have to pass URLs ending in .bzr/smart to the smart
3566
server handler, and not arbitrary ``.bzr/*/smart`` URLs. (Andrew Bennetts)
3567
3568
* digest authentication is now supported for proxies and HTTP by the urllib
3569
based http implementation. Tested against Apache 2.0.55 and Squid
3570
2.6.5. Basic and digest authentication are handled coherently for HTTP
3571
and proxy: if the user is provided in the url (bzr command line for HTTP,
3572
proxy environment variables for proxies), the password is prompted for
3573
(only once). If the password is provided, it is taken into account. Once
3574
the first authentication is successful, all further authentication
3575
roundtrips are avoided by preventively setting the right authentication
3576
header(s).
3577
(Vincent Ladeuil).
3578
3579
INTERNALS:
3580
3581
* bzrlib API compatability with 0.8 has been dropped, cleaning up some
3582
code paths. (Robert Collins)
3583
3584
* Change the format of chroot urls so that they can be safely manipulated
3585
by generic url utilities without causing the resulting urls to have
3586
escaped the chroot. A side effect of this is that creating a chroot
3587
requires an explicit action using a ChrootServer.
3588
(Robert Collins, Andrew Bennetts)
3589
3590
* Deprecate ``Branch.get_root_id()`` because branches don't have root ids,
3591
rather than fixing bug #96847. (Aaron Bentley)
3592
3593
* ``WorkingTree.apply_inventory_delta`` provides a better alternative to
3594
``WorkingTree._write_inventory``. (Aaron Bentley)
3595
3596
* Convenience method ``TestCase.expectFailure`` ensures that known failures
3597
do not silently pass. (Aaron Bentley)
3598
3599
* ``Transport.local_abspath`` now raises ``NotLocalUrl`` rather than
3600
``TransportNotPossible``. (Martin Pool, Ian Clatworthy)
3601
3602
* New SmartServer hooks facility. There are two initial hooks documented
3603
in ``bzrlib.transport.smart.SmartServerHooks``. The two initial hooks allow
3604
plugins to execute code upon server startup and shutdown.
3605
(Robert Collins).
3606
3607
* SmartServer in standalone mode will now close its listening socket
3608
when it stops, rather than waiting for garbage collection. This primarily
3609
fixes test suite hangs when a test tries to connect to a shutdown server.
3610
It may also help improve behaviour when dealing with a server running
3611
on a specific port (rather than dynamically assigned ports).
3612
(Robert Collins)
3613
3614
* Move most SmartServer code into a new package, bzrlib/smart.
3615
bzrlib/transport/remote.py contains just the Transport classes that used
3616
to be in bzrlib/transport/smart.py. (Andrew Bennetts)
3617
3618
* urllib http implementation avoid roundtrips associated with
3619
401 (and 407) errors once the authentication succeeds.
3620
(Vincent Ladeuil).
3621
3622
* urlib http now supports querying the user for a proxy password if
3623
needed. Realm is shown in the prompt for both HTTP and proxy
3624
authentication when the user is required to type a password.
3625
(Vincent Ladeuil).
3626
3627
* Renamed SmartTransport (and subclasses like SmartTCPTransport) to
3628
RemoteTransport (and subclasses to RemoteTCPTransport, etc). This is more
3629
consistent with its new home in ``bzrlib/transport/remote.py``, and because
3630
it's not really a "smart" transport, just one that does file operations
3631
via remote procedure calls. (Andrew Bennetts)
3632
3633
* The ``lock_write`` method of ``LockableFiles``, ``Repository`` and
3634
``Branch`` now accept a ``token`` keyword argument, so that separate
3635
instances of those objects can share a lock if it has the right token.
3636
(Andrew Bennetts, Robert Collins)
3637
3638
* New method ``get_branch_reference`` on ``BzrDir`` allows the detection of
3639
branch references - which the smart server component needs.
3640
3641
* The Repository API ``make_working_trees`` is now permitted to return
3642
False when ``set_make_working_trees`` is not implemented - previously
3643
an unimplemented ``set_make_working_trees`` implied the result True
3644
from ``make_working_trees``. This has been changed to accomodate the
3645
smart server, where it does not make sense (at this point) to ever
3646
make working trees by default. (Robert Collins)
3647
3648
* Command objects can now declare related help topics by having _see_also
3649
set to a list of related topic. (Robert Collins)
3650
3651
* ``bzrlib.help`` now delegates to the Command class for Command specific
3652
help. (Robert Collins)
3653
3654
* New class ``TransportListRegistry``, derived from the Registry class, which
3655
simplifies tracking the available Transports. (Goffredo Baroncelli)
3656
3657
* New function ``Branch.get_revision_id_to_revno_map`` which will
3658
return a dictionary mapping revision ids to dotted revnos. Since
3659
dotted revnos are defined in the context of the branch tip, it makes
3660
sense to generate them from a ``Branch`` object.
3661
(John Arbash Meinel)
3662
3663
* Fix the 'Unprintable error' message display to use the repr of the
3664
exception that prevented printing the error because the str value
3665
for it is often not useful in debugging (e.g. KeyError('foo') has a
3666
str() of 'foo' but a repr of 'KeyError('foo')' which is much more
3667
useful. (Robert Collins)
3668
3669
* ``urlutils.normalize_url`` now unescapes unreserved characters, such as "~".
3670
(Andrew Bennetts)
3671
3672
BUGFIXES:
3673
3674
* Don't fail bundle selftest if email has 'two' embedded.
3675
(Ian Clatworthy, #98510)
3676
3677
* Remove ``--verbose`` from ``bzr bundle``. It didn't work anyway.
3678
(Robert Widhopf-Fenk, #98591)
3679
3680
* Remove ``--basis`` from the checkout/branch commands - it didn't work
3681
properly and is no longer beneficial.
3682
(Robert Collins, #53675, #43486)
3683
3684
* Don't produce encoding error when adding duplicate files.
3685
(Aaron Bentley)
3686
3687
* Fix ``bzr log <file>`` so it only logs the revisions that changed
3688
the file, and does it faster.
3689
(Kent Gibson, John Arbash Meinel, #51980, #69477)
3690
3691
* Fix ``InterDirstateTre._iter_changes`` to handle when we come across
3692
an empty versioned directory, which now has files in it.
3693
(John Arbash Meinel, #104257)
3694
3695
* Teach ``common_ancestor`` to shortcut when the tip of one branch is
3696
inside the ancestry of the other. Saves a lot of graph processing
3697
(with an ancestry of 16k revisions, ``bzr merge ../already-merged``
3698
changes from 2m10s to 13s). (John Arbash Meinel, #103757)
3699
3700
* Fix ``show_diff_trees`` to handle the case when a file is modified,
3701
and the containing directory is renamed. (The file path is different
3702
in this versus base, but it isn't marked as a rename).
3703
(John Arbash Meinel, #103870)
3704
3705
* FTP now works even when the FTP server does not support atomic rename.
3706
(Aaron Bentley, #89436)
3707
3708
* Correct handling in bundles and merge directives of timezones with
3709
that are not an integer number of hours offset from UTC. Always
3710
represent the epoch time in UTC to avoid problems with formatting
3711
earlier times on win32. (Martin Pool, Alexander Belchenko, John
3712
Arbash Meinel)
3713
3714
* Typo in the help for ``register-branch`` fixed. (Robert Collins, #96770)
3715
3716
* "dirstate" and "dirstate-tags" formats now produce branches compatible
3717
with old versions of bzr. (Aaron Bentley, #107168))
3718
3719
* Handle moving a directory when children have been added, removed,
3720
and renamed. (John Arbash Meinel, #105479)
3721
3722
* Don't preventively use basic authentication for proxy before receiving a
3723
407 error. Otherwise people willing to use other authentication schemes
3724
may expose their password in the clear (or nearly). This add one
3725
roundtrip in case basic authentication should be used, but plug the
3726
security hole.
3727
(Vincent Ladeuil)
3728
3729
* Handle http and proxy digest authentication.
3730
(Vincent Ladeuil, #94034).
3731
3732
TESTING:
3733
3734
* Added ``bzrlib.strace.strace`` which will strace a single callable and
3735
return a StraceResult object which contains just the syscalls involved
3736
in running it. (Robert Collins)
3737
3738
* New test method ``reduceLockdirTimeout`` to drop the default (ui-centric)
3739
default time down to one suitable for tests. (Andrew Bennetts)
3740
3741
* Add new ``vfs_transport_factory`` attribute on tests which provides the
3742
common vfs backing for both the readonly and readwrite transports.
3743
This allows the RemoteObject tests to back onto local disk or memory,
3744
and use the existing ``transport_server`` attribute all tests know about
3745
to be the smart server transport. This in turn allows tests to
3746
differentiate between 'transport to access the branch', and
3747
'transport which is a VFS' - which matters in Remote* tests.
3748
(Robert Collins, Andrew Bennetts)
3749
3750
* The ``make_branch_and_tree`` method for tests will now create a
3751
lightweight checkout for the tree if the ``vfs_transport_factory`` is not
3752
a LocalURLServer. (Robert Collins, Andrew Bennetts)
3753
3754
* Branch implementation tests have been audited to ensure that all urls
3755
passed to Branch APIs use proper urls, except when local-disk paths
3756
are intended. This is so that tests correctly access the test transport
3757
which is often not equivalent to local disk in Remote* tests. As part
3758
of this many tests were adjusted to remove dependencies on local disk
3759
access.
3760
(Robert Collins, Andrew Bennetts)
3761
3762
* Mark bzrlib.tests and bzrlib.tests.TestUtil as providing assertFOO helper
3763
functions by adding a ``__unittest`` global attribute. (Robert Collins,
3764
Andrew Bennetts, Martin Pool, Jonathan Lange)
3765
3766
* Refactored proxy and authentication handling to simplify the
3767
implementation of new auth schemes for both http and proxy.

CHANGES:
3786
3787
* A warning is now displayed when opening working trees in older
3788
formats, to encourage people to upgrade to WorkingTreeFormat4.
3789
(Martin Pool)
3790
3791
IMPROVEMENTS:
3792
3793
* HTTP redirections are now taken into account when a branch (or a
3794
bundle) is accessed for the first time. A message is issued at each
3795
redirection to inform the user. In the past, http redirections were
3796
silently followed for each request which significantly degraded the
3797
performances. The http redirections are not followed anymore by
3798
default, instead a RedirectRequested exception is raised. For bzrlib
3799
users needing to follow http redirections anyway,
3800
``bzrlib.transport.do_catching_redirections`` provide an easy transition
3801
path. (vila)
3802
3803
INTERNALS:
3804
3805
* Added ``ReadLock.temporary_write_lock()`` to allow upgrading an OS read
3806
lock to an OS write lock. Linux can do this without unlocking, Win32
3807
needs to unlock in between. (John Arbash Meinel)
3808
3809
* New parameter ``recommend_upgrade`` to ``BzrDir.open_workingtree``
3810
to silence (when false) warnings about opening old formats.
3811
(Martin Pool)
3812
3813
* Fix minor performance regression with bzr-0.15 on pre-dirstate
3814
trees. (We were reading the working inventory too many times).
3815
(John Arbash Meinel)
3816
3817
* Remove ``Branch.get_transaction()`` in favour of a simple cache of
3818
``revision_history``. Branch subclasses should override
3819
``_gen_revision_history`` rather than ``revision_history`` to make use of
3820
this cache, and call ``_clear_revision_history_cache`` and
3821
``_cache_revision_history`` at appropriate times. (Andrew Bennetts)
3822
3823
BUGFIXES:
3824
3825
* Take ``smtp_server`` from user config into account.
3826
(vila, #92195)
3827
3828
* Restore Unicode filename handling for versioned and unversioned files.
3829
(John Arbash Meinel, #92608)
3830
3831
* Don't fail during ``bzr commit`` if a file is marked removed, and
3832
the containing directory is auto-removed. (John Arbash Meinel, #93681)
3833
3834
* ``bzr status FILENAME`` failed on Windows because of an uncommon
3835
errno. (``ERROR_DIRECTORY == 267 != ENOTDIR``).
3836
(Wouter van Heyst, John Arbash Meinel, #90819)
3837
3838
* ``bzr checkout source`` should create a local branch in the same
3839
format as source. (John Arbash Meinel, #93854)
3840
3841
* ``bzr commit`` with a kind change was failing to update the
3842
last-changed-revision for directories. The
3843
InventoryDirectory._unchanged only looked at the ``parent_id`` and name,
3844
ignoring the fact that the kind could have changed, too.
3845
(John Arbash Meinel, #90111)
3846
3847
* ``bzr mv dir/subdir other`` was incorrectly updating files inside
3848
the directory. So that there was a chance it would break commit,
3849
etc. (John Arbash Meinel, #94037)
3850
3851
* Correctly handles mutiple permanent http redirections.

3855
-----------------------
3856
3857
NOTES WHEN UPGRADING:
3858
3859
* Release 0.15rc2 of bzr changes the ``bzr init-repo`` command to
3860
default to ``--trees`` instead of ``--no-trees``.
3861
Existing shared repositories are not affected.
3862
3863
IMPROVEMENTS:
3864
3865
* New ``merge-directive`` command to generate machine- and human-readable
3866
merge requests. (Aaron Bentley)
3867
3868
* New ``submit:`` revision specifier makes it easy to diff against the
3869
common ancestor with the submit location (Aaron Bentley)
3870
3871
* Added support for Putty's SSH implementation. (Dmitry Vasiliev)
3872
3873
* Added ``bzr status --versioned`` to report only versioned files,
3874
not unknowns. (Kent Gibson)
3875
3876
* Merge now autodetects the correct line-ending style for its conflict
3877
markers. (Aaron Bentley)
3878
3879
INTERNALS:
3880
3881
* Refactored SSH vendor registration into SSHVendorManager class.
3882
(Dmitry Vasiliev)
3883
3884
BUGFIXES:
3885
3886
* New ``--numbered-dirs`` option to ``bzr selftest`` to use
3887
numbered dirs for TestCaseInTempDir. This is default behavior
3888
on Windows. Anyone can force named dirs on Windows
3889
with ``--no-numbered-dirs``. (Alexander Belchenko)
3890
3891
* Fix ``RevisionSpec_revid`` to handle the Unicode strings passed in
3892
from the command line. (Marien Zwart, #90501)
3893
3894
* Fix ``TreeTransform._iter_changes`` when both the source and
3895
destination are missing. (Aaron Bentley, #88842)
3896
3897
* Fix commit of merges with symlinks in dirstate trees.
3898
(Marien Zwart)
3899
3900
* Switch the ``bzr init-repo`` default from --no-trees to --trees.

3904
bzr 0.15rc1 2007-03-07
3905
-----------------------
3906
3907
SURPRISES:
3908
3909
* The default disk format has changed. Please run 'bzr upgrade' in your
3910
working trees to upgrade. This new default is compatible for network
3911
operations, but not for local operations. That is, if you have two
3912
versions of bzr installed locally, after upgrading you can only use the
3913
bzr 0.15 version. This new default does not enable tags or nested-trees
3914
as they are incompatible with bzr versions before 0.15 over the network.
3915
3916
* For users of bzrlib: Two major changes have been made to the working tree
3917
api in bzrlib. The first is that many methods and attributes, including
3918
the inventory attribute, are no longer valid for use until one of
3919
``lock_read``/``lock_write``/``lock_tree_write`` has been called,
3920
and become invalid again after unlock is called. This has been done
3921
to improve performance and correctness as part of the dirstate
3922
development.
3923
(Robert Collins, John A Meinel, Martin Pool, and others).
3924
3925
* For users of bzrlib: The attribute 'tree.inventory' should be considered
3926
readonly. Previously it was possible to directly alter this attribute, or
3927
its contents, and have the tree notice this. This has been made
3928
unsupported - it may work in some tree formats, but in the newer dirstate
3929
format such actions will have no effect and will be ignored, or even
3930
cause assertions. All operations possible can still be carried out by a
3931
combination of the tree API, and the bzrlib.transform API. (Robert
3932
Collins, John A Meinel, Martin Pool, and others).
3933
3934
IMPROVEMENTS:
3935
3936
* Support for OS Windows 98. Also .bzr.log on any windows system
3937
saved in My Documents folder. (Alexander Belchenko)
3938
3939
* ``bzr mv`` enhanced to support already moved files.
3940
In the past the mv command would have failed if the source file doesn't
3941
exist. In this situation ``bzr mv`` would now detect that the file has
3942
already moved and update the repository accordingly, if the target file
3943
does exist.
3944
A new option ``--after`` has been added so that if two files already
3945
exist, you could notify Bazaar that you have moved a (versioned) file
3946
and replaced it with another. Thus in this case ``bzr move --after``
3947
will only update the Bazaar identifier.
3948
(Steffen Eichenberg, Marius Kruger)
3949
3950
* ``ls`` now works on treeless branches and remote branches.
3951
(Aaron Bentley)
3952
3953
* ``bzr help global-options`` describes the global options.
3954
(Aaron Bentley)
3955
3956
* ``bzr pull --overwrite`` will now correctly overwrite checkouts.
3957
(Robert Collins)
3958
3959
* Files are now allowed to change kind (e.g. from file to symlink).
3960
Supported by ``commit``, ``revert`` and ``status``
3961
(Aaron Bentley)
3962
3963
* ``inventory`` and ``unknowns`` hidden in favour of ``ls``
3964
(Aaron Bentley)
3965
3966
* ``bzr help checkouts`` descibes what checkouts are and some possible
3967
uses of them. (James Westby, Aaron Bentley)
3968
3969
* A new ``-d`` option to push, pull and merge overrides the default
3970
directory. (Martin Pool)
3971
3972
* Branch format 6: smaller, and potentially faster than format 5. Supports
3973
``append_history_only`` mode, where the log view and revnos do not change,
3974
except by being added to. Stores policy settings in
3975
".bzr/branch/branch.conf".
3976
3977
* ``append_only`` branches: Format 6 branches may be configured so that log
3978
view and revnos are always consistent. Either create the branch using
3979
"bzr init --append-revisions-only" or edit the config file as descriped
3980
in docs/configuration.txt.
3981
3982
* rebind: Format 6 branches retain the last-used bind location, so if you
3983
"bzr unbind", you can "bzr bind" to bind to the previously-selected
3984
bind location.
3985
3986
* Builtin tags support, created and deleted by the ``tag`` command and
3987
stored in the branch. Tags can be accessed with the revisionspec
3988
``-rtag:``, and listed with ``bzr tags``. Tags are not versioned
3989
at present. Tags require a network incompatible upgrade. To perform this
3990
upgrade, run ``bzr upgrade --dirstate-tags`` in your branch and
3991
repositories. (Martin Pool)
3992
3993
* The ``bzr://`` transport now has a well-known port number, 4155,
3994
which it will use by default. (Andrew Bennetts, Martin Pool)
3995
3996
* Bazaar now looks for user-installed plugins before looking for site-wide
3997
plugins. (Jonathan Lange)
3998
3999
* ``bzr resolve`` now detects and marks resolved text conflicts.
4000
(Aaron Bentley)
4001
4002
INTERNALS:
4003
4004
* Internally revision ids and file ids are now passed around as utf-8
4005
bytestrings, rather than treating them as Unicode strings. This has
4006
performance benefits for Knits, since we no longer need to decode the
4007
revision id for each line of content, nor for each entry in the index.
4008
This will also help with the future dirstate format.
4009
(John Arbash Meinel)
4010
4011
* Reserved ids (any revision-id ending in a colon) are rejected by
4012
versionedfiles, repositories, branches, and working trees
4013
(Aaron Bentley)
4014
4015
* Minor performance improvement by not creating a ProgressBar for
4016
every KnitIndex we create. (about 90ms for a bzr.dev tree)
4017
(John Arbash Meinel)
4018
4019
* New easier to use Branch hooks facility. There are five initial hooks,
4020
all documented in bzrlib.branch.BranchHooks.__init__ - ``'set_rh'``,
4021
``'post_push'``, ``'post_pull'``, ``'post_commit'``,
4022
``'post_uncommit'``. These hooks fire after the matching operation
4023
on a branch has taken place, and were originally added for the
4024
branchrss plugin. (Robert Collins)
4025
4026
* New method ``Branch.push()`` which should be used when pushing from a
4027
branch as it makes performance and policy decisions to match the UI
4028
level command ``push``. (Robert Collins).
4029
4030
* Add a new method ``Tree.revision_tree`` which allows access to cached
4031
trees for arbitrary revisions. This allows the in development dirstate
4032
tree format to provide access to the callers to cached copies of
4033
inventory data which are cheaper to access than inventories from the
4034
repository.
4035
(Robert Collins, Martin Pool)
4036
4037
* New ``Branch.last_revision_info`` method, this is being done to allow
4038
optimization of requests for both the number of revisions and the last
4039
revision of a branch with smartservers and potentially future branch
4040
formats. (Wouter van Heyst, Robert Collins)
4041
4042
* Allow ``'import bzrlib.plugins.NAME'`` to work when the plugin NAME has not
4043
yet been loaded by ``load_plugins()``. This allows plugins to depend on each
4044
other for code reuse without requiring users to perform file-renaming
4045
gymnastics. (Robert Collins)
4046
4047
* New Repository method ``'gather_stats'`` for statistic data collection.
4048
This is expected to grow to cover a number of related uses mainly
4049
related to bzr info. (Robert Collins)
4050
4051
* Log formatters are now managed with a registry.
4052
``log.register_formatter`` continues to work, but callers accessing
4053
the FORMATTERS dictionary directly will not.
4054
4055
* Allow a start message to be passed to the ``edit_commit_message``
4056
function. This will be placed in the message offered to the user
4057
for editing above the separator. It allows a template commit message
4058
to be used more easily. (James Westby)
4059
4060
* ``GPGStrategy.sign()`` will now raise ``BzrBadParameterUnicode`` if
4061
you pass a Unicode string rather than an 8-bit string. Callers need
4062
to be updated to encode first. (John Arbash Meinel)
4063
4064
* Branch.push, pull, merge now return Result objects with information
4065
about what happened, rather than a scattering of various methods. These
4066
are also passed to the post hooks. (Martin Pool)
4067
4068
* File formats and architecture is in place for managing a forest of trees
4069
in bzr, and splitting up existing trees into smaller subtrees, and
4070
finally joining trees to make a larger tree. This is the first iteration
4071
of this support, and the user-facing aspects still require substantial
4072
work. If you wish to experiment with it, use ``bzr upgrade
4073
--dirstate-with-subtree`` in your working trees and repositories.
4074
You can use the hidden commands ``split`` and ``join`` and to create
4075
and manipulate nested trees, but please consider using the nested-trees
4076
branch, which contains substantial UI improvements, instead.
4077
http://code.aaronbentley.com/bzr/bzrrepo/nested-trees/
4078
(Aaron Bentley, Martin Pool, Robert Collins).
4079
4080
BUGFIXES:
4081
4082
* ``bzr annotate`` now uses dotted revnos from the viewpoint of the
4083
branch, rather than the last changed revision of the file.
4084
(John Arbash Meinel, #82158)
4085
4086
* Lock operations no longer hang if they encounter a permission problem.
4087
(Aaron Bentley)
4088
4089
* ``bzr push`` can resume a push that was canceled before it finished.
4090
Also, it can push even if the target directory exists if you supply
4091
the ``--use-existing-dir`` flag.
4092
(John Arbash Meinel, #30576, #45504)
4093
4094
* Fix http proxy authentication when user and an optional
4095
password appears in the ``*_proxy`` vars. (Vincent Ladeuil,
4096
#83954).
4097
4098
* ``bzr log branch/file`` works for local treeless branches
4099
(Aaron Bentley, #84247)
4100
4101
* Fix problem with UNC paths on Windows 98. (Alexander Belchenko, #84728)
4102
4103
* Searching location of CA bundle for PyCurl in env variable
4104
(``CURL_CA_BUNDLE``), and on win32 along the PATH.
4105
(Alexander Belchenko, #82086)
4106
4107
* ``bzr init`` works with unicode argument LOCATION.
4108
(Alexander Belchenko, #85599)
4109
4110
* Raise ``DependencyNotPresent`` if pycurl do not support https.
4111
(Vincent Ladeuil, #85305)
4112
4113
* Invalid proxy env variables should not cause a traceback.
4114
(Vincent Ladeuil, #87765)
4115
4116
* Ignore patterns normalised to use '/' path separator.
4117
(Kent Gibson, #86451)
4118
4119
* bzr rocks. It sure does! Fix case. (Vincent Ladeuil, #78026)
4120

* Fix bzrtools shelve command for removed lines beginning with "--"
4122
(Johan Dahlberg, #75577)
4123
4124
TESTING:
4125
4126

* Skip documentation generation tests if the tools to do so are not
4140
available. Fixes running selftest for installled copies of bzr.
4141
(John Arbash Meinel, #80330)
4142
4143
* Fix the code that discovers whether bzr is being run from it's

protocol over an HTTP connection. If writing is enabled on the bzr
4155
server, then you can write over the http connection.
4156
(Andrew Bennetts, John Arbash Meinel)
4157
4158
* Aliases now support quotation marks, so they can contain whitespace
4159
(Marius Kruger)
4160
4161
* PyCurlTransport now use a single curl object. By specifying explicitly
4162
the 'Range' header, we avoid the need to use two different curl objects
4163
(and two connections to the same server). (Vincent Ladeuil)
4164
4165
* ``bzr commit`` does not prompt for a message until it is very likely to
4166
succeed. (Aaron Bentley)
4167
4168
* ``bzr conflicts`` now takes --text to list pathnames of text conflicts
4169
(Aaron Bentley)
4170
4171
* Fix ``iter_lines_added_or_present_in_versions`` to use a set instead
4172
of a list while checking if a revision id was requested. Takes 10s
4173
off of the ``fileids_affected_by_revision_ids`` time, which is 10s
4174
of the ``bzr branch`` time. Also improve ``fileids_...`` time by
4175
filtering lines with a regex rather than multiple ``str.find()``
4176
calls. (saves another 300ms) (John Arbash Meinel)
4177
4178
* Policy can be set for each configuration key. This allows keys to be
4179
inherited properly across configuration entries. For example, this
4180
should enable you to do::
4181
4182
[/home/user/project]
4183
push_location = sftp://host/srv/project/
4184
push_location:policy = appendpath
4185
4186
And then a branch like ``/home/user/project/mybranch`` should get an
4187
automatic push location of ``sftp://host/srv/project/mybranch``.
4188
(James Henstridge)
4189
4190
* Added ``bzr status --short`` to make status report svn style flags
4191
for each file. For example::
4192
4193
$ bzr status --short
4194
A foo
4195
A bar
4196
D baz
4197
? wooley
4198
4199
* 'bzr selftest --clean-output' allows easily clean temporary tests
4200
directories without running tests. (Alexander Belchenko)
4201
4202
* ``bzr help hidden-commands`` lists all hidden commands. (Aaron Bentley)
4203
4204
* ``bzr merge`` now has an option ``--pull`` to fall back to pull if
4205
local is fully merged into remote. (Jan Hudec)
4206
4207
* ``bzr help formats`` describes available directory formats. (Aaron Bentley)
4208
4209
INTERNALS:
4210
4211
* A few tweaks directly to ``fileids_affected_by_revision_ids`` to
4212
help speed up processing, as well allowing to extract unannotated
4213
lines. Between the two ``fileids_affected_by_revision_ids`` is
4214
improved by approx 10%. (John Arbash Meinel)
4215
4216
* Change Revision serialization to only write out millisecond
4217
resolution. Rather than expecting floating point serialization to
4218
preserve more resolution than we need. (Henri Weichers, Martin Pool)
4219
4220
* Test suite ends cleanly on Windows. (Vincent Ladeuil)
4221
4222
* When ``encoding_type`` attribute of class Command is equal to 'exact',
4223
force sys.stdout to be a binary stream on Windows, and therefore
4224
keep exact line-endings (without LF -> CRLF conversion).
4225
(Alexander Belchenko)
4226
4227
* Single-letter short options are no longer globally declared. (Martin
4228
Pool)
4229
4230
* Before using detected user/terminal encoding bzr should check
4231
that Python has corresponding codec. (Alexander Belchenko)
4232
4233
* Formats for end-user selection are provided via a FormatRegistry (Aaron Bentley)
4234
4235
BUG FIXES:
4236
4237
* ``bzr missing --verbose`` was showing adds/removals in the wrong
4238
direction. (John Arbash Meinel)
4239
4240
* ``bzr annotate`` now defaults to showing dotted revnos for merged
4241
revisions. It cuts them off at a depth of 12 characters, but you can
4242
supply ``--long`` to see the full number. You can also use
4243
``--show-ids`` to display the original revision ids, rather than
4244
revision numbers and committer names. (John Arbash Meinel, #75637)
4245
4246
* bzr now supports Win32 UNC path (e.g. ``\HOST\path``.
4247
(Alexander Belchenko, #57869)
4248
4249
* Win32-specific: output of cat, bundle and diff commands don't mangle
4250
line-endings (Alexander Belchenko, #55276)
4251
4252
* Replace broken fnmatch based ignore pattern matching with custom pattern
4253
matcher.
4254
(Kent Gibson, Jan Hudec #57637)
4255
4256
* pycurl and urllib can detect short reads at different places. Update
4257
the test suite to test more cases. Also detect http error code 416
4258
which was raised for that specific bug. Also enhance the urllib
4259
robustness by detecting invalid ranges (and pycurl's one by detecting
4260
short reads during the initial GET). (Vincent Ladeuil, #73948)
4261
4262
* The urllib connection sharing interacts badly with urllib2
4263
proxy setting (the connections didn't go thru the proxy
4264
anymore). Defining a proper ProxyHandler solves the
4265
problem. (Vincent Ladeuil, #74759)
4266
4267
* Use urlutils to generate relative URLs, not osutils
4268
(Aaron Bentley, #76229)
4269
4270
* ``bzr status`` in a readonly directory should work without giving
4271
lots of errors. (John Arbash Meinel, #76299)
4272
4273
* Mention the revisionspec topic for the revision option help.
4274
(Wouter van Heyst, #31663)
4275
4276
* Allow plugins import from zip archives.

4288
IMPROVEMENTS:
4289
4290
* New command ``bzr remove-tree`` allows the removal of the working
4291
tree from a branch.
4292
(Daniel Silverstone)
4293
4294
* urllib uses shared keep-alive connections, so http
4295
operations are substantially faster.
4296
(Vincent Ladeuil, #53654)
4297
4298
* ``bzr export`` allows an optional branch parameter, to export a bzr
4299
tree from some other url. For example:
4300
``bzr export bzr.tar.gz http://bazaar-vcs.org/bzr/bzr.dev``
4301
(Daniel Silverstone)
4302
4303
* Added ``bzr help topics`` to the bzr help system. This gives a
4304
location for general information, outside of a specific command.
4305
This includes updates for ``bzr help revisionspec`` the first topic
4306
included. (Goffredo Baroncelli, John Arbash Meinel, #42714)
4307
4308
* WSGI-compatible HTTP smart server. See ``doc/http_smart_server.txt``.
4309
(Andrew Bennetts)
4310
4311
* Knit files will now cache full texts only when the size of the
4312
deltas is as large as the size of the fulltext. (Or after 200
4313
deltas, whichever comes first). This has the most benefit on large
4314
files with small changes, such as the inventory for a large project.
4315
(eg For a project with 2500 files, and 7500 revisions, it changes
4316
the size of inventory.knit from 11MB to 5.4MB) (John Arbash Meinel)
4317
4318
INTERNALS:
4319
4320
* New -D option given before the command line turns on debugging output
4321
for particular areas. -Derror shows tracebacks on all errors.
4322
(Martin Pool)
4323
4324
* Clean up ``bzr selftest --benchmark bundle`` to correct an import,
4325
and remove benchmarks that take longer than 10min to run.
4326
(John Arbash Meinel)
4327
4328
* Use ``time.time()`` instead of ``time.clock()`` to decide on
4329
progress throttling. Because ``time.clock()`` is actually CPU time,
4330
so over a high-latency connection, too many updates get throttled.
4331
(John Arbash Meinel)
4332
4333
* ``MemoryTransport.list_dir()`` would strip the first character for
4334
files or directories in root directory. (John Arbash Meinel)
4335
4336
* New method ``get_branch_reference`` on 'BzrDir' allows the detection of
4337
branch references - which the smart server component needs.
4338
4339
* New ``ChrootTransportDecorator``, accessible via the ``chroot+`` url
4340
prefix. It disallows any access to locations above a set URL. (Andrew
4341
Bennetts)
4342
4343
BUG FIXES:
4344
4345
* Now ``_KnitIndex`` properly decode revision ids when loading index data.
4346
And optimize the knit index parsing code.
4347
(Dmitry Vasiliev, John Arbash Meinel)
4348
4349
* ``bzrlib/bzrdir.py`` was directly referencing ``bzrlib.workingtree``,
4350
without importing it. This prevented ``bzr upgrade`` from working
4351
unless a plugin already imported ``bzrlib.workingtree``
4352
(John Arbash Meinel, #70716)
4353
4354
* Suppress the traceback on invalid URLs (Vincent Ladeuil, #70803).
4355
4356
* Give nicer error message when an http server returns a 403
4357
error code. (Vincent Ladeuil, #57644).
4358
4359
* When a multi-range http GET request fails, try a single
4360
range one. If it fails too, forget about ranges. Remember that until
4361
the death of the transport and propagates that to the clones.
4362
(Vincent Ladeuil, #62276, #62029).
4363
4364
* Handles user/passwords supplied in url from command
4365
line (for the urllib implementation). Don't request already
4366
known passwords (Vincent Ladeuil, #42383, #44647, #48527)
4367
4368
* ``_KnitIndex.add_versions()`` dictionary compresses revision ids as they
4369
are added. This fixes bug where fetching remote revisions records
4370
them as full references rather than integers.
4371
(John Arbash Meinel, #64789)
4372
4373
* ``bzr ignore`` strips trailing slashes in patterns.
4374
Also ``bzr ignore`` rejects absolute paths. (Kent Gibson, #4559)
4375
4376
* ``bzr ignore`` takes multiple arguments. (Cheuksan Edward Wang, #29488)
4377
4378
* mv correctly handles paths that traverse symlinks.
4379
(Aaron Bentley, #66964)
4380
4381
* Give nicer looking error messages when failing to connect over ssh.
4382
(John Arbash Meinel, #49172)
4383
4384
* Pushing to a remote branch does not currently update the remote working
4385
tree. After a remote push, ``bzr status`` and ``bzr diff`` on the remote
4386
machine now show that the working tree is out of date.
4387
(Cheuksan Edward Wang #48136)
4388
4389
* Use patiencediff instead of difflib for determining deltas to insert
4390
into knits. This avoids the O(N^3) behavior of difflib. Patience
4391
diff should be O(N^2). (Cheuksan Edward Wang, #65714)
4392
4393
* Running ``bzr log`` on nonexistent file gives an error instead of the
4394
entire log history. (Cheuksan Edward Wang #50793)
4395
4396
* ``bzr cat`` can look up contents of removed or renamed files. If the
4397
pathname is ambiguous, i.e. the files in the old and new trees have
4398
different id's, the default is the file in the new tree. The user can
4399
use "--name-from-revision" to select the file in the old tree.
4400
(Cheuksan Edward Wang, #30190)
4401
4402
TESTING:
4403
4404
* TestingHTTPRequestHandler really handles the Range header
4405
(previously it was ignoring it and returning the whole file,).

4408
--------------------
4409
4410
INTERNALS:
4411
4412
* Clean up ``bzr selftest --benchmark bundle`` to correct an import,

and remove benchmarks that take longer than 10min to run.
4414
(John Arbash Meinel)
4415
4416
bzr 0.12rc1 2006-10-23
4417
-----------------------
4418
4419
IMPROVEMENTS:
4420
4421
* ``bzr log`` now shows dotted-decimal revision numbers for all revisions,
4422
rather than just showing a decimal revision number for revisions on the
4423
mainline. These revision numbers are not yet accepted as input into bzr
4424
commands such as log, diff etc. (Robert Collins)
4425
4426
* revisions can now be specified using dotted-decimal revision numbers.
4427
For instance, ``bzr diff -r 1.2.1..1.2.3``. (Robert Collins)
4428
4429
* ``bzr help commands`` output is now shorter (Aaron Bentley)
4430
4431
* ``bzr`` now uses lazy importing to reduce the startup time. This has
4432
a moderate effect on lots of actions, especially ones that have
4433
little to do. For example ``bzr rocks`` time is down to 116ms from
4434
283ms. (John Arbash Meinel)
4435
4436
* New Registry class to provide name-to-object registry-like support,
4437
for example for schemes where plugins can register new classes to
4438
do certain tasks (e.g. log formatters). Also provides lazy registration
4439
to allow modules to be loaded on request.
4440
(John Arbash Meinel, Adeodato Simó)
4441
4442
API INCOMPATABILITY:
4443
4444
* LogFormatter subclasses show now expect the 'revno' parameter to
4445
show() to be a string rather than an int. (Robert Collins)
4446
4447
INTERNALS:
4448
4449
* ``TestCase.run_bzr``, ``run_bzr_captured``, and ``run_bzr_subprocess``
4450
can take a ``working_dir='foo'`` parameter, which will change directory
4451
for the command. (John Arbash Meinel)
4452
4453
* ``bzrlib.lazy_regex.lazy_compile`` can be used to create a proxy
4454
around a regex, which defers compilation until first use.
4455
(John Arbash Meinel)
4456
4457
* ``TestCase.run_bzr_subprocess`` defaults to supplying the
4458
``--no-plugins`` parameter to ensure test reproducability, and avoid
4459
problems with system-wide installed plugins. (John Arbash Meinel)
4460
4461
* Unique tree root ids are now supported. Newly created trees still
4462
use the common root id for compatibility with bzr versions before 0.12.
4463
(Aaron Bentley)
4464
4465
* ``WorkingTree.set_root_id(None)`` is now deprecated. Please
4466
pass in ``inventory.ROOT_ID`` if you want the default root id value.
4467
(Robert Collins, John Arbash Meinel)
4468
4469
* New method ``WorkingTree.flush()`` which will write the current memory
4470
inventory out to disk. At the same time, ``read_working_inventory`` will
4471
no longer trash the current tree inventory if it has been modified within
4472
the current lock, and the tree will now ``flush()`` automatically on
4473
``unlock()``. ``WorkingTree.set_root_id()`` has been updated to take
4474
advantage of this functionality. (Robert Collins, John Arbash Meinel)
4475
4476
* ``bzrlib.tsort.merge_sorted`` now accepts ``generate_revnos``. This
4477
parameter will cause it to add another column to its output, which
4478
contains the dotted-decimal revno for each revision, as a tuple.
4479
(Robert Collins)
4480
4481
* ``LogFormatter.show_merge`` is deprecated in favour of
4482
``LogFormatter.show_merge_revno``. (Robert Collins)
4483
4484
BUG FIXES:
4485
4486
* Avoid circular imports by creating a deprecated function for
4487
``bzrlib.tree.RevisionTree``. Callers should have been using
4488
``bzrlib.revisontree.RevisionTree`` anyway. (John Arbash Meinel,
4489
#63360, #66349)
4490
4491
* Don't use ``socket.MSG_WAITALL`` as it doesn't exist on all
4492
platforms. (Martin Pool, #66356)
4493
4494
* Don't require ``Content-Type`` in range responses. Assume they are a
4495
single range if ``Content-Type`` does not exist.
4496
(John Arbash Meinel, #62473)
4497
4498
* bzr branch/pull no longer complain about progress bar cleanup when
4499
interrupted during fetch. (Aaron Bentley, #54000)
4500
4501
* ``WorkingTree.set_parent_trees()`` uses the trees to directly write
4502
the basis inventory, rather than going through the repository. This
4503
allows us to have 1 inventory read, and 2 inventory writes when
4504
committing a new tree. (John Arbash Meinel)
4505
4506
* When reverting, files that are not locally modified that do not exist
4507
in the target are deleted, not just unversioned (Aaron Bentley)
4508
4509
* When trying to acquire a lock, don't fail immediately. Instead, try
4510
a few times (up to 1 hour) before timing out. Also, report why the
4511
lock is unavailable (John Arbash Meinel, #43521, #49556)
4512
4513
* Leave HttpTransportBase daughter classes decides how they
4514
implement cloning. (Vincent Ladeuil, #61606)
4515
4516
* diff3 does not indicate conflicts on clean merge. (Aaron Bentley)
4517
4518
* If a commit fails, the commit message is stored in a file at the root of
4519
the tree for later commit. (Cheuksan Edward Wang, Stefan Metzmacher,
4520
#32054)
4521
4522
TESTING:
4523
4524
* New test base class TestCaseWithMemoryTransport offers memory-only
4525
testing facilities: its not suitable for tests that need to mutate disk
4526
state, but most tests should not need that and should be converted to
4527
TestCaseWithMemoryTransport. (Robert Collins)
4528
4529
* ``TestCase.make_branch_and_memory_tree`` now takes a format
4530
option to set the BzrDir, Repository and Branch formats of the
4531
created objects. (Robert Collins, John Arbash Meinel)
4532
4533
bzr 0.11 2006-10-02

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

Also, the output is consistent when --diff-options is not supplied.
5024
(John Arbash Meinel, #54651, #52930)
5025
5026
* Use the right suffixes for loading plugins (John Arbash Meinel, #51810)
5027
5028
* Fix ``Branch.get_parent()`` to handle the case when the parent is not
5029
accessible (John Arbash Meinel, #52976)
5030
5031
INTERNALS:
5032
5033
* Combine the ignore rules into a single regex rather than looping over
5034
them to reduce the threshold where N^2 behaviour occurs in operations
5035
like status. (Jan Hudec, Robert Collins).
5036
5037
* Appending to ``bzrlib.DEFAULT_IGNORE`` is now deprecated. Instead, use
5038
one of the add functions in bzrlib.ignores. (John Arbash Meinel)
5039
5040
* 'bzr push' should only push the ancestry of the current revision, not
5041
all of the history in the repository. This is especially important for
5042
shared repositories. (John Arbash Meinel)
5043
5044
* ``bzrlib.delta.compare_trees`` now iterates in alphabetically sorted order,
5045
rather than randomly walking the inventories. (John Arbash Meinel)
5046
5047
* Doctests are now run in temporary directories which are cleaned up when
5048
they finish, rather than using special ScratchDir/ScratchBranch objects.
5049
(Martin Pool)
5050
5051
* Split ``check`` into separate methods on the branch and on the repository,
5052
so that it can be specialized in ways that are useful or efficient for
5053
different formats. (Martin Pool, Robert Collins)
5054
5055
* Deprecate ``Repository.all_revision_ids``; most methods don't really need
5056
the global revision graph but only that part leading up to a particular
5057
revision. (Martin Pool, Robert Collins)
5058
5059
* Add a BzrDirFormat ``control_formats`` list which allows for control formats
5060
that do not use '.bzr' to store their data - i.e. '.svn', '.hg' etc.
5061
(Robert Collins, Jelmer Vernooij).
5062
5063
* ``bzrlib.diff.external_diff`` can be redirected to any file-like object.
5064
Uses subprocess instead of spawnvp.
5065
(James Henstridge, John Arbash Meinel, #4047, #48914)
5066
5067
* New command line option '--profile-imports', which will install a custom
5068
importer to log time to import modules and regex compilation time to
5069
sys.stderr (John Arbash Meinel)
5070
5071
* 'EmptyTree' is now deprecated, please use ``repository.revision_tree(None)``
5072
instead. (Robert Collins)
5073
5074
* "RevisionTree" is now in bzrlib/revisiontree.py. (Robert Collins)

5112
list of editors. (Olaf Conradi, #42904)
5113
5114
NEW FEATURES:

5131
bzr 0.8 2006-05-08
5132
-------------------
5133
5134
NOTES WHEN UPGRADING:
5135
5136
Release 0.8 of bzr introduces a new format for history storage, called
5137
'knit', as an evolution of to the 'weave' format used in 0.7. Local
5138
and remote operations are faster using knits than weaves. Several
5139
operations including 'init', 'init-repo', and 'upgrade' take a
5140
--format option that controls this. Branching from an existing branch
5141
will keep the same format.
5142
5143
It is possible to merge, pull and push between branches of different
5144
formats but this is slower than moving data between homogenous
5145
branches. It is therefore recommended (but not required) that you
5146
upgrade all branches for a project at the same time. Information on
5147
formats is shown by 'bzr info'.
5148
5149
bzr 0.8 now allows creation of 'repositories', which hold the history
5150
of files and revisions for several branches. Previously bzr kept all
5151
the history for a branch within the .bzr directory at the root of the
5152
branch, and this is still the default. To create a repository, use
5153
the new 'bzr init-repo' command. Branches exist as directories under
5154
the repository and contain just a small amount of information
5155
indicating the current revision of the branch.
5156
5157
bzr 0.8 also supports 'checkouts', which are similar to in cvs and
5158
subversion. Checkouts are associated with a branch (optionally in a
5159
repository), which contains all the historical information. The
5160
result is that a checkout can be deleted without losing any
5161
already-committed revisions. A new 'update' command is also available.
5162
5163
Repositories and checkouts are not supported with the 0.7 storage
5164
format. To use them you must upgrad to either knits, or to the
5165
'metaweave' format, which uses weaves but changes the .bzr directory
5166
arrangement.
5167
5168
5169
IMPROVEMENTS:
5170
5171
* Sftp paths can now be relative, or local, according to the lftp
5172
convention. Paths now take the form::
5173
5174
sftp://user:pass@host:port/~/relative/path
5175
or
5176
sftp://user:pass@host:port/absolute/path
5177
5178
* The FTP transport now tries to reconnect after a temporary
5179
failure. ftp put is made atomic. (Matthieu Moy)
5180
5181
* The FTP transport now maintains a pool of connections, and
5182
reuses them to avoid multiple connections to the same host (like
5183
sftp did). (Daniel Silverstone)
5184
5185
* The ``bzr_man.py`` file has been removed. To create the man page now,
5186
use ``./generate_docs.py man``. The new program can also create other files.
5187
Run ``python generate_docs.py --help`` for usage information.
5188
(Hans Ulrich Niedermann & James Blackwell).
5189
5190
* Man Page now gives full help (James Blackwell).
5191
Help also updated to reflect user config now being stored in .bazaar
5192
(Hans Ulrich Niedermann)
5193
5194
* It's now possible to set aliases in bazaar.conf (Erik Bågfors)
5195
5196
* Pull now accepts a --revision argument (Erik Bågfors)
5197
5198
* ``bzr re-sign`` now allows multiple revisions to be supplied on the command
5199
line. You can now use the following command to sign all of your old
5200
commits::
5201
5202
find .bzr/revision-store// -name my@email-* \
5203
| sed 's/.*\/\/..\///' \
5204
| xargs bzr re-sign
5205
5206
* Upgrade can now upgrade over the network. (Robert Collins)
5207
5208
* Two new commands 'bzr checkout' and 'bzr update' allow for CVS/SVN-alike
5209
behaviour. By default they will cache history in the checkout, but
5210
with --lightweight almost all data is kept in the master branch.
5211
(Robert Collins)
5212
5213
* 'revert' unversions newly-versioned files, instead of deleting them.
5214
5215
* 'merge' is more robust. Conflict messages have changed.
5216
5217
* 'merge' and 'revert' no longer clobber existing files that end in '~' or
5218
'.moved'.
5219
5220
* Default log format can be set in configuration and plugins can register
5221
their own formatters. (Erik Bågfors)
5222
5223
* New 'reconcile' command will check branch consistency and repair indexes
5224
that can become out of sync in pre 0.8 formats. (Robert Collins,
5225
Daniel Silverstone)
5226
5227
* New 'bzr init --format' and 'bzr upgrade --format' option to control
5228
what storage format is created or produced. (Robert Collins,
5229
Martin Pool)
5230
5231
* Add parent location to 'bzr info', if there is one. (Olaf Conradi)
5232
5233
* New developer commands 'weave-list' and 'weave-join'. (Martin Pool)
5234
5235
* New 'init-repository' command, plus support for repositories in 'init'
5236
and 'branch' (Aaron Bentley, Erik Bågfors, Robert Collins)
5237
5238
* Improve output of 'info' command. Show all relevant locations related to
5239
working tree, branch and repository. Use kibibytes for binary quantities.
5240
Fix off-by-one error in missing revisions of working tree. Make 'info'
5241
work on branches, repositories and remote locations. Show locations
5242
relative to the shared repository, if applicable. Show locking status
5243
of locations. (Olaf Conradi)
5244
5245
* Diff and merge now safely handle binary files. (Aaron Bentley)
5246
5247
* 'pull' and 'push' now normalise the revision history, so that any two
5248
branches with the same tip revision will have the same output from 'log'.
5249
(Robert Collins)
5250
5251
* 'merge' accepts --remember option to store parent location, like 'push'
5252
and 'pull'. (Olaf Conradi)
5253
5254
* bzr status and diff when files given as arguments do not exist
5255
in the relevant trees. (Martin Pool, #3619)
5256
5257
* Add '.hg' to the default ignore list. (Martin Pool)
5258
5259
* 'knit' is now the default disk format. This improves disk performance and
5260
utilization, increases incremental pull performance, robustness with SFTP
5261
and allows checkouts over SFTP to perform acceptably.
5262
The initial Knit code was contributed by Johan Rydberg based on a
5263
specification by Martin Pool.
5264
(Robert Collins, Aaron Bentley, Johan Rydberg, Martin Pool).
5265
5266
* New tool to generate all-in-one html version of the manual. (Alexander
5267
Belchenko)
5268
5269
* Hitting CTRL-C while doing an SFTP push will no longer cause stale locks
5270
to be left in the SFTP repository. (Robert Collins, Martin Pool).
5271
5272
* New option 'diff --prefix' to control how files are named in diff
5273
output, with shortcuts '-p0' and '-p1' corresponding to the options for
5274
GNU patch. (Alexander Belchenko, Goffredo Baroncelli, Martin Pool)
5275
5276
* Add --revision option to 'annotate' command. (Olaf Conradi)
5277
5278
* If bzr shows an unexpected revision-history after pulling (perhaps due
5279
to a reweave) it can now be corrected by 'bzr reconcile'.
5280
(Robert Collins)
5281
5282
CHANGES:
5283
5284
* Commit is now verbose by default, and shows changed filenames and the
5285
new revision number. (Robert Collins, Martin Pool)
5286
5287
* Unify 'mv', 'move', 'rename'. (Matthew Fuller, #5379)
5288
5289
* 'bzr -h' shows help. (Martin Pool, Ian Bicking, #35940)
5290
5291
* Make 'pull' and 'push' remember location on failure using --remember.
5292
(Olaf Conradi)
5293
5294
* For compatibility, make old format for using weaves inside metadir
5295
available as 'metaweave' format. Rename format 'metadir' to 'default'.
5296
Clean up help for option --format in commands 'init', 'init-repo' and
5297
'upgrade'. (Olaf Conradi)
5298
5299
INTERNALS:
5300
5301
* The internal storage of history, and logical branch identity have now
5302
been split into Branch, and Repository. The common locking and file
5303
management routines are now in bzrlib.lockablefiles.
5304
(Aaron Bentley, Robert Collins, Martin Pool)
5305
5306
* Transports can now raise DependencyNotPresent if they need a library
5307
which is not installed, and then another implementation will be
5308
tried. (Martin Pool)
5309
5310
* Remove obsolete (and no-op) `decode` parameter to `Transport.get`.
5311
(Martin Pool)
5312
5313
* Using Tree Transform for merge, revert, tree-building
5314
5315
* WorkingTree.create, Branch.create, ``WorkingTree.create_standalone``,
5316
Branch.initialize are now deprecated. Please see ``BzrDir.create_*`` for
5317
replacement API's. (Robert Collins)
5318
5319
* New BzrDir class represents the .bzr control directory and manages
5320
formatting issues. (Robert Collins)
5321
5322
* New repository.InterRepository class encapsulates Repository to
5323
Repository actions and allows for clean selection of optimised code
5324
paths. (Robert Collins)
5325
5326
* ``bzrlib.fetch.fetch`` and ``bzrlib.fetch.greedy_fetch`` are now
5327
deprecated, please use ``branch.fetch`` or ``repository.fetch``
5328
depending on your needs. (Robert Collins)
5329
5330
* deprecated methods now have a ``is_deprecated`` flag on them that can
5331
be checked, if you need to determine whether a given callable is
5332
deprecated at runtime. (Robert Collins)
5333
5334
* Progress bars are now nested - see
5335
``bzrlib.ui.ui_factory.nested_progress_bar``.
5336
(Robert Collins, Robey Pointer)
5337
5338
* New API call ``get_format_description()`` for each type of format.
5339
(Olaf Conradi)
5340
5341
* Changed ``branch.set_parent()`` to accept None to remove parent.
5342
(Olaf Conradi)
5343
5344
* Deprecated BzrError AmbiguousBase. (Olaf Conradi)
5345
5346
* WorkingTree.branch is now a read only property. (Robert Collins)
5347
5348
* bzrlib.ui.text.TextUIFactory now accepts a ``bar_type`` parameter which
5349
can be None or a factory that will create a progress bar. This is
5350
useful for testing or for overriding the bzrlib.progress heuristic.
5351
(Robert Collins)
5352
5353
* New API method ``get_physical_lock_status()`` to query locks present on a
5354
transport. (Olaf Conradi)
5355
5356
* Repository.reconcile now takes a thorough keyword parameter to allow
5357
requesting an indepth reconciliation, rather than just a data-loss
5358
check. (Robert Collins)
5359
5360
* ``bzrlib.ui.ui_factory protocol`` now supports ``get_boolean`` to prompt
5361
the user for yes/no style input. (Robert Collins)
5362
5363
TESTING:
5364
5365
* SFTP tests now shortcut the SSH negotiation, reducing test overhead
5366
for testing SFTP protocol support. (Robey Pointer)
5367
5368
* Branch formats are now tested once per implementation (see ``bzrlib.
5369
tests.branch_implementations``. This is analagous to the transport
5370
interface tests, and has been followed up with working tree,
5371
repository and BzrDir tests. (Robert Collins)
5372
5373
* New test base class TestCaseWithTransport provides a transport aware
5374
test environment, useful for testing any transport-interface using
5375
code. The test suite option --transport controls the transport used
5376
by this class (when its not being used as part of implementation
5377
contract testing). (Robert Collins)
5378
5379
* Close logging handler on disabling the test log. This will remove the
5380
handler from the internal list inside python's logging module,
5381
preventing shutdown from closing it twice. (Olaf Conradi)
5382
5383
* Move test case for uncommit to blackbox tests. (Olaf Conradi)
5384
5385
* ``run_bzr`` and ``run_bzr_captured`` now accept a 'stdin="foo"'
5386
parameter which will provide String("foo") to the command as its stdin.
5387

bzr 0.7 2006-01-09
5389
------------------
5390
5391
CHANGES:
5392
5393
* .bzrignore is excluded from exports, on the grounds that it's a bzr
5394
internal-use file and may not be wanted. (Jamie Wilkinson)
5395
5396
* The "bzr directories" command were removed in favor of the new
5397
--kind option to the "bzr inventory" command. To list all
5398
versioned directories, now use "bzr inventory --kind directory".
5399
(Johan Rydberg)
5400
5401
* Under Windows configuration directory is now ``%APPDATA%\bazaar\2.0``
5402
by default. (John Arbash Meinel)
5403
5404
* The parent of Bzr configuration directory can be set by ``BZR_HOME``
5405
environment variable. Now the path for it is searched in ``BZR_HOME``,
5406
then in HOME. Under Windows the order is: ``BZR_HOME``, ``APPDATA``
5407
(usually points to ``C:\Documents and Settings\User Name\Application Data``),
5408
``HOME``. (John Arbash Meinel)
5409
5410
* Plugins with the same name in different directories in the bzr plugin
5411
path are no longer loaded: only the first successfully loaded one is
5412
used. (Robert Collins)
5413
5414
* Use systems' external ssh command to open connections if possible.
5415
This gives better integration with user settings such as ProxyCommand.
5416
(James Henstridge)
5417
5418
* Permissions on files underneath .bzr/ are inherited from the .bzr
5419
directory. So for a shared repository, simply doing 'chmod -R g+w .bzr/'
5420
will mean that future file will be created with group write permissions.
5421
5422
* configure.in and config.guess are no longer in the builtin default
5423
ignore list.
5424
5425
* '.sw[nop]' pattern ignored, to ignore vim swap files for nameless
5426
files. (John Arbash Meinel, Martin Pool)
5427
5428
IMPROVEMENTS:
5429
5430
* "bzr INIT dir" now initializes the specified directory, and creates
5431
it if it does not exist. (John Arbash Meinel)
5432
5433
* New remerge command (Aaron Bentley)
5434
5435
* Better zsh completion script. (Steve Borho)
5436
5437
* 'bzr diff' now returns 1 when there are changes in the working
5438
tree. (Robert Collins)
5439
5440
* 'bzr push' now exists and can push changes to a remote location.
5441
This uses the transport infrastructure, and can store the remote
5442
location in the ~/.bazaar/branches.conf configuration file.
5443
(Robert Collins)
5444
5445
* Test directories are only kept if the test fails and the user requests
5446
that they be kept.
5447
5448
* Tweaks to short log printing
5449
5450
* Added branch nicks, new nick command, printing them in log output.
5451
(Aaron Bentley)
5452
5453
* If ``$BZR_PDB`` is set, pop into the debugger when an uncaught exception
5454
occurs. (Martin Pool)
5455
5456
* Accept 'bzr resolved' (an alias for 'bzr resolve'), as this is
5457
the same as Subversion. (Martin Pool)
5458
5459
* New ftp transport support (on ftplib), for ftp:// and aftp://
5460
URLs. (Daniel Silverstone)
5461
5462
* Commit editor temporary files now start with ``bzr_log.``, to allow
5463
text editors to match the file name and set up appropriate modes or
5464
settings. (Magnus Therning)
5465
5466
* Improved performance when integrating changes from a remote weave.
5467
(Goffredo Baroncelli)
5468
5469
* Sftp will attempt to cache the connection, so it is more likely that
5470
a connection will be reused, rather than requiring multiple password
5471
requests.
5472
5473
* bzr revno now takes an optional argument indicating the branch whose
5474
revno should be printed. (Michael Ellerman)
5475
5476
* bzr cat defaults to printing the last version of the file.
5477
(Matthieu Moy, #3632)
5478
5479
* New global option 'bzr --lsprof COMMAND' runs bzr under the lsprof
5480
profiler. (Denys Duchier)
5481
5482
* Faster commits by reading only the headers of affected weave files.
5483
(Denys Duchier)
5484
5485
* 'bzr add' now takes a --dry-run parameter which shows you what would be
5486
added, but doesn't actually add anything. (Michael Ellerman)
5487
5488
* 'bzr add' now lists how many files were ignored per glob. add --verbose
5489
lists the specific files. (Aaron Bentley)
5490
5491
* 'bzr missing' now supports displaying changes in diverged trees and can
5492
be limited to show what either end of the comparison is missing.
5493

5504
(Martin Pool)
5505
5506
* Handle more cases of pipe errors in display commands
5507
5508
* Change status to 3 for all errors
5509
5510
* Files that are added and unlinked before committing are completely
5511
ignored by diff and status
5512
5513
* Stores with some compressed texts and some uncompressed texts are now
5514
able to be used. (John A Meinel)
5515
5516

5517
5518
* Fix for sftp transport under windows when using interactive auth
5519
5520
* Show files which are both renamed and modified as such in 'bzr
5521
status' output. (Daniel Silverstone, #4503)
5522
5523
* Make annotate cope better with revisions committed without a valid
5524
email address. (Marien Zwart)
5525
5526
* Fix representation of tab characters in commit messages.
5527
(Harald Meland)
5528
5529
* List of plugin directories in ``BZR_PLUGIN_PATH`` environment variable is
5530
now parsed properly under Windows. (Alexander Belchenko)
5531
5532
* Show number of revisions pushed/pulled/merged. (Robey Pointer)
5533
5534
* Keep a cached copy of the basis inventory to speed up operations
5535
that need to refer to it. (Johan Rydberg, Martin Pool)
5536
5537
* Fix bugs in bzr status display of non-ascii characters.
5538
(Martin Pool)
5539
5540

5541
(Tollef Fog Heen, Martin Pool, #6413)
5542
5543
* Fix failure in 'bzr added'. (Nathan McCallum, Martin Pool)
5544
5545
TESTING:
5546
5547
* Fix selftest asking for passwords when there are no SFTP keys.
5548
(Robey Pointer, Jelmer Vernooij)
5549
5550
* Fix selftest run with 'python -O'. (Martin Pool)
5551
5552
* Fix HTTP tests under Windows. (John Arbash Meinel)
5553
5554
* Make tests work even if HOME is not set (Aaron Bentley)
5555
5556
* Updated ``build_tree`` to use fixed line-endings for tests which read
5557
the file cotents and compare. Make some tests use this to pass under
5558
Windows. (John Arbash Meinel)
5559
5560
* Skip stat and symlink tests under Windows. (Alexander Belchenko)
5561
5562
* Delay in selftest/testhashcash is now issued under win32 and Cygwin.
5563
(John Arbash Meinel)
5564
5565
* Use terminal width to align verbose test output. (Martin Pool)
5566
5567
* Blackbox tests are maintained within the bzrlib.tests.blackbox directory.
5568
If adding a new test script please add that to
5569
``bzrlib.tests.blackbox.__init__``. (Robert Collins)
5570
5571
* Much better error message if one of the test suites can't be
5572
imported. (Martin Pool)
5573
5574
* Make check now runs the test suite twice - once with the default locale,
5575
and once with all locales forced to C, to expose bugs. This is not
5576
trivially done within python, so for now its only triggered by running
5577
Make check. Integrators and packagers who wish to check for full
5578
platform support should run 'make check' to test the source.
5579
(Robert Collins)
5580
5581
* Tests can now run TestSkipped if they can't execute for any reason.
5582
(Martin Pool) (NB: TestSkipped should only be raised for correctable
5583
reasons - see the wiki spec ImprovingBzrTestSuite).
5584
5585
* Test sftp with relative, absolute-in-homedir and absolute-not-in-homedir
5586
paths for the transport tests. Introduce blackbox remote sftp tests that
5587
test the same permutations. (Robert Collins, Robey Pointer)
5588
5589
* Transport implementation tests are now independent of the local file
5590
system, which allows tests for esoteric transports, and for features
5591
not available in the local file system. They also repeat for variations
5592
on the URL scheme that can introduce issues in the transport code,
5593
see bzrlib.transport.TransportTestProviderAdapter() for this.
5594
(Robert Collins).
5595
5596
* ``TestCase.build_tree`` uses the transport interface to build trees,
5597
pass in a transport parameter to give it an existing connection.
5598
(Robert Collins).
5599
5600
INTERNALS:
5601
5602
* WorkingTree.pull has been split across Branch and WorkingTree,
5603
to allow Branch only pulls. (Robert Collins)
5604
5605
* ``commands.display_command`` now returns the result of the decorated
5606
function. (Robert Collins)
5607
5608
* LocationConfig now has a ``set_user_option(key, value)`` call to save
5609
a setting in its matching location section (a new one is created
5610
if needed). (Robert Collins)
5611
5612
* Branch has two new methods, ``get_push_location`` and
5613
``set_push_location`` to respectively, get and set the push location.
5614
(Robert Collins)
5615
5616
* ``commands.register_command`` now takes an optional flag to signal that
5617
the registrant is planning to decorate an existing command. When
5618
given multiple plugins registering a command is not an error, and
5619
the original command class (whether built in or a plugin based one) is
5620
returned to the caller. There is a new error 'MustUseDecorated' for
5621
signalling when a wrapping command should switch to the original
5622
version. (Robert Collins)
5623
5624
* Some option parsing errors will raise 'BzrOptionError', allowing
5625
granular detection for decorating commands. (Robert Collins).
5626
5627
* ``Branch.read_working_inventory`` has moved to
5628
``WorkingTree.read_working_inventory``. This necessitated changes to
5629
``Branch.get_root_id``, and a move of ``Branch.set_inventory`` to
5630
WorkingTree as well. To make it clear that a WorkingTree cannot always
5631
be obtained ``Branch.working_tree()`` will raise
5632
``errors.NoWorkingTree`` if one cannot be obtained. (Robert Collins)
5633
5634
* All pending merges operations from Branch are now on WorkingTree.
5635
(Robert Collins)
5636
5637
* The follow operations from Branch have moved to WorkingTree::
5638
5639
add()
5640
commit()
5641
move()
5642
rename_one()
5643
unknowns()
5644
5645
(Robert Collins)
5646
5647
* ``bzrlib.add.smart_add_branch`` is now ``smart_add_tree``. (Robert Collins)
5648
5649
* New "rio" serialization format, similar to rfc-822. (Martin Pool)
5650
5651
* Rename selftests to ``bzrlib.tests.test_foo``. (John A Meinel, Martin
5652
Pool)
5653
5654
* ``bzrlib.plugin.all_plugins`` has been changed from an attribute to a
5655
query method. (Robert Collins)
5656
5657
* New options to read only the table-of-contents of a weave.
5658
(Denys Duchier)
5659
5660
* Raise NoSuchFile when someone tries to add a non-existant file.
5661
(Michael Ellerman)
5662
5663
* Simplify handling of DivergedBranches in ``cmd_pull()``.
5664
(Michael Ellerman)
5665
5666
* Branch.controlfile* logic has moved to lockablefiles.LockableFiles, which
5667
is exposed as ``Branch().control_files``. Also this has been altered with the
5668
controlfile pre/suffix replaced by simple method names like 'get' and
5669
'put'. (Aaron Bentley, Robert Collins).
5670
5671
* Deprecated functions and methods can now be marked as such using the
5672
``bzrlib.symbol_versioning`` module. Marked method have their docstring
5673
updated and will issue a DeprecationWarning using the warnings module
5674
when they are used. (Robert Collins)
5675
5676
* ``bzrlib.osutils.safe_unicode`` now exists to provide parameter coercion
5677
for functions that need unicode strings. (Robert Collins)
5678
5679
bzr 0.6 2005-10-28
5680
------------------
5681
5682
IMPROVEMENTS:
5683
5684
* pull now takes --verbose to show you what revisions are added or removed
5685
(John A Meinel)
5686
5687
* merge now takes a --show-base option to include the base text in
5688
conflicts.
5689
(Aaron Bentley)
5690
5691
* The config files are now read using ConfigObj, so '=' should be used as
5692
a separator, not ':'.
5693
(Aaron Bentley)
5694
5695
* New 'bzr commit --strict' option refuses to commit if there are
5696
any unknown files in the tree. To commit, make sure all files are
5697
either ignored, added, or deleted. (Michael Ellerman)
5698
5699
* The config directory is now ~/.bazaar, and there is a single file
5700
~/.bazaar/bazaar.conf storing email, editor and other preferences.
5701
(Robert Collins)
5702
5703
* 'bzr add' no longer takes a --verbose option, and a --quiet option
5704
has been added that suppresses all output.
5705
5706
* Improved zsh completion support in contrib/zsh, from Clint
5707
Adams.
5708
5709
* Builtin 'bzr annotate' command, by Martin Pool with improvements from
5710
Goffredo Baroncelli.
5711
5712
* 'bzr check' now accepts -v for verbose reporting, and checks for
5713
ghosts in the branch. (Robert Collins)
5714
5715
* New command 're-sign' which will regenerate the gpg signature for
5716
a revision. (Robert Collins)
5717
5718
* If you set ``check_signatures=require`` for a path in
5719
``~/.bazaar/branches.conf`` then bzr will invoke your
5720
``gpg_signing_command`` (defaults to gpg) and record a digital signature
5721
of your commit. (Robert Collins)
5722
5723
* New sftp transport, based on Paramiko. (Robey Pointer)
5724
5725
* 'bzr pull' now accepts '--clobber' which will discard local changes
5726
and make this branch identical to the source branch. (Robert Collins)
5727
5728
* Just give a quieter warning if a plugin can't be loaded, and
5729
put the details in .bzr.log. (Martin Pool)
5730
5731
* 'bzr branch' will now set the branch-name to the last component of the
5732
output directory, if one was supplied.
5733
5734
* If the option ``post_commit`` is set to one (or more) python function
5735
names (must be in the bzrlib namespace), then they will be invoked
5736
after the commit has completed, with the branch and ``revision_id`` as
5737
parameters. (Robert Collins)
5738
5739
* Merge now has a retcode of 1 when conflicts occur. (Robert Collins)
5740
5741
* --merge-type weave is now supported for file contents. Tree-shape
5742
changes are still three-way based. (Martin Pool, Aaron Bentley)
5743
5744
* 'bzr check' allows the first revision on revision-history to have
5745
parents - something that is expected for cheap checkouts, and occurs
5746
when conversions from baz do not have all history. (Robert Collins).
5747
5748
* 'bzr merge' can now graft unrelated trees together, if your specify
5749
0 as a base. (Aaron Bentley)
5750
5751
* 'bzr commit branch' and 'bzr commit branch/file1 branch/file2' now work
5752
(Aaron Bentley)
5753
5754
* Add '.sconsign*' to default ignore list. (Alexander Belchenko)
5755
5756
* 'bzr merge --reprocess' minimizes conflicts
5757
5758
TESTING:
5759
5760
* The 'bzr selftest --pattern' option for has been removed, now
5761
test specifiers on the command line can be simple strings, or
5762
regexps, or both. (Robert Collins)
5763
5764
* Passing -v to selftest will now show the time each test took to
5765
complete, which will aid in analysing performance regressions and
5766
related questions. (Robert Collins)
5767
5768
* 'bzr selftest' runs all tests, even if one fails, unless '--one'
5769
is given. (Martin Pool)
5770
5771
* There is a new method for TestCaseInTempDir, assertFileEqual, which
5772
will check that a given content is equal to the content of the named
5773
file. (Robert Collins)
5774
5775
* Fix test suite's habit of leaving many temporary log files in $TMPDIR.
5776
(Martin Pool)
5777
5778
INTERNALS:
5779
5780
* New 'testament' command and concept for making gpg-signatures
5781
of revisions that are not tied to a particular internal
5782
representation. (Martin Pool).
5783
5784
* Per-revision properties ('revprops') as key-value associated
5785
strings on each revision created when the revision is committed.
5786
Intended mainly for the use of external tools. (Martin Pool).
5787
5788
* Config options have moved from bzrlib.osutils to bzrlib.config.
5789
(Robert Collins)
5790
5791
* Improved command line option definitions allowing explanations
5792
for individual options, among other things. Contributed by
5793
Magnus Therning.
5794
5795
* Config options have moved from bzrlib.osutils to bzrlib.config.
5796
Configuration is now done via the config.Config interface:
5797
Depending on whether you have a Branch, a Location or no information
5798
available, construct a ``*Config``, and use its ``signature_checking``,
5799
``username`` and ``user_email`` methods. (Robert Collins)
5800
5801
* Plugins are now loaded under bzrlib.plugins, not bzrlib.plugin, and
5802
they are made available for other plugins to use. You should not
5803
import other plugins during the ``__init__`` of your plugin though, as
5804
no ordering is guaranteed, and the plugins directory is not on the
5805
python path. (Robert Collins)
5806
5807
* Branch.relpath has been moved to WorkingTree.relpath. WorkingTree no
5808
no longer takes an inventory, rather it takes an option branch
5809
parameter, and if None is given will open the branch at basedir
5810
implicitly. (Robert Collins)
5811
5812
* Cleaner exception structure and error reporting. Suggested by
5813
Scott James Remnant. (Martin Pool)
5814
5815
* Branch.remove has been moved to WorkingTree, which has also gained
5816
``lock_read``, ``lock_write`` and ``unlock`` methods for convenience.
5817
(Robert Collins)
5818
5819
* Two decorators, ``needs_read_lock`` and ``needs_write_lock`` have been
5820
added to the branch module. Use these to cause a function to run in a
5821
read or write lock respectively. (Robert Collins)
5822
5823
* ``Branch.open_containing`` now returns a tuple (Branch, relative-path),
5824
which allows direct access to the common case of 'get me this file
5825
from its branch'. (Robert Collins)
5826
5827
* Transports can register using ``register_lazy_transport``, and they
5828
will be loaded when first used. (Martin Pool)
5829
5830
* 'pull' has been factored out of the command as ``WorkingTree.pull()``.
5831
A new option to WorkingTree.pull has been added, clobber, which will
5832
ignore diverged history and pull anyway.
5833
(Robert Collins)
5834
5835
* config.Config has a ``get_user_option`` call that accepts an option name.
5836
This will be looked up in branches.conf and bazaar.conf as normal.
5837
It is intended that this be used by plugins to support options -
5838
options of built in programs should have specific methods on the config.
5839
(Robert Collins)
5840
5841
* ``merge.merge_inner`` now has tempdir as an optional parameter.
5842
(Robert Collins)
5843
5844
* Tree.kind is not recorded at the top level of the hierarchy, as it was
5845
missing on EmptyTree, leading to a bug with merge on EmptyTrees.
5846
(Robert Collins)
5847
5848
* ``WorkingTree.__del__`` has been removed, it was non deterministic and not
5849
doing what it was intended to. See ``WorkingTree.__init__`` for a comment
5850
about future directions. (Robert Collins/Martin Pool)
5851
5852
* bzrlib.transport.http has been modified so that only 404 urllib errors
5853
are returned as NoSuchFile. Other exceptions will propogate as normal.
5854
This allows debuging of actual errors. (Robert Collins)
5855
5856
* bzrlib.transport.Transport now accepts *ONLY* url escaped relative paths
5857
to apis like 'put', 'get' and 'has'. This is to provide consistent
5858
behaviour - it operates on url's only. (Robert Collins)
5859
5860
* Transports can register using ``register_lazy_transport``, and they
5861
will be loaded when first used. (Martin Pool)
5862
5863
* ``merge_flex`` no longer calls ``conflict_handler.finalize()``, instead that
5864
is called by ``merge_inner``. This is so that the conflict count can be
5865
retrieved (and potentially manipulated) before returning to the caller
5866
of ``merge_inner``. Likewise 'merge' now returns the conflict count to the
5867
caller. (Robert Collins)
5868
5869
* ``revision.revision_graph`` can handle having only partial history for
5870
a revision - that is no revisions in the graph with no parents.
5871
(Robert Collins).
5872
5873
* New ``builtins.branch_files`` uses the standard ``file_list`` rules to
5874
produce a branch and a list of paths, relative to that branch
5875
(Aaron Bentley)
5876
5877
* New TestCase.addCleanup facility.
5878
5879
* New ``bzrlib.version_info`` tuple (similar to ``sys.version_info``),
5880
which can be used by programs importing bzrlib.
5881
5882
BUG FIXES:
5883
5884
* Better handling of branches in directories with non-ascii names.
5885
(Joel Rosdahl, Panagiotis Papadakos)
5886
5887
* Upgrades of trees with no commits will not fail due to accessing
5888
[-1] in the revision-history. (Andres Salomon)
5889

5891
bzr 0.1.1 2005-10-12
5892
--------------------
5893
5894
BUG FIXES:
5895
5896
* Fix problem in pulling over http from machines that do not
5897
allow directories to be listed.
5898
5899
* Avoid harmless warning about invalid hash cache after
5900
upgrading branch format.
5901
5902
PERFORMANCE:
5903
5904
* Avoid some unnecessary http operations in branch and pull.

5906
5907
bzr 0.1 2005-10-11
5908
------------------
5909
5910
NOTES:
5911
5912
* 'bzr branch' over http initially gives a very high estimate
5913
of completion time but it should fall as the first few
5914
revisions are pulled in. branch is still slow on
5915
high-latency connections.
5916
5917
BUG FIXES:
5918
5919
* bzr-man.py has been updated to work again. Contributed by
5920
Rob Weir.
5921
5922
* Locking is now done with fcntl.lockf which works with NFS
5923
file systems. Contributed by Harald Meland.
5924
5925
* When a merge encounters a file that has been deleted on
5926
one side and modified on the other, the old contents are
5927
written out to foo.BASE and foo.SIDE, where SIDE is this
5928
or OTHER. Contributed by Aaron Bentley.
5929
5930
* Export was choosing incorrect file paths for the content of
5931
the tarball, this has been fixed by Aaron Bentley.
5932
5933
* Commit will no longer commit without a log message, an
5934
error is returned instead. Contributed by Jelmer Vernooij.
5935
5936
* If you commit a specific file in a sub directory, any of its
5937
parent directories that are added but not listed will be
5938
automatically included. Suggested by Michael Ellerman.
5939
5940
* bzr commit and upgrade did not correctly record new revisions
5941
for files with only a change to their executable status.
5942
bzr will correct this when it encounters it. Fixed by
5943
Robert Collins
5944
5945
* HTTP tests now force off the use of ``http_proxy`` for the duration.
5946
Contributed by Gustavo Niemeyer.
5947
5948
* Fix problems in merging weave-based branches that have
5949
different partial views of history.
5950
5951
* Symlink support: working with symlinks when not in the root of a
5952
bzr tree was broken, patch from Scott James Remnant.
5953
5954
IMPROVEMENTS:
5955
5956
* 'branch' now accepts a --basis parameter which will take advantage
5957
of local history when making a new branch. This allows faster
5958
branching of remote branches. Contributed by Aaron Bentley.
5959
5960
* New tree format based on weave files, called version 5.
5961
Existing branches can be upgraded to this format using
5962
'bzr upgrade'.
5963
5964
* Symlinks are now versionable. Initial patch by
5965
Erik Toubro Nielsen, updated to head by Robert Collins.
5966
5967
* Executable bits are tracked on files. Patch from Gustavo
5968
Niemeyer.
5969
5970
* 'bzr status' now shows unknown files inside a selected directory.
5971
Patch from Heikki Paajanen.
5972
5973
* Merge conflicts are recorded in .bzr. Two new commands 'conflicts'
5974
and 'resolve' have needed added, which list and remove those
5975
merge conflicts respectively. A conflicted tree cannot be committed
5976
in. Contributed by Aaron Bentley.
5977
5978
* 'rm' is now an alias for 'remove'.
5979
5980
* Stores now split out their content in a single byte prefixed hash,
5981
dropping the density of files per directory by 256. Contributed by
5982
Gustavo Niemeyer.
5983
5984
* 'bzr diff -r branch:URL' will now perform a diff between two branches.
5985
Contributed by Robert Collins.
5986
5987
* 'bzr log' with the default formatter will show merged revisions,
5988
indented to the right. Initial implementation contributed by Gustavo
5989
Niemeyer, made incremental by Robert Collins.
5990
5991
5992
INTERNALS:
5993
5994
* Test case failures have the exception printed after the log
5995
for your viewing pleasure.
5996
5997
* InventoryEntry is now an abstract base class, use one of the
5998
concrete InventoryDirectory etc classes instead.
5999
6000
* Branch raises an UnsupportedFormatError when it detects a
6001
bzr branch it cannot understand. This allows for precise
6002
handling of such circumstances.
6003
6004
* Remove RevisionReference class; ``Revision.parent_ids`` is now simply a
6005
list of their ids and ``parent_sha1s`` is a list of their corresponding
6006
sha1s (for old branches only at the moment.)
6007
6008
* New method-object style interface for Commit() and Fetch().
6009
6010
* Renamed ``Branch.last_patch()`` to ``Branch.last_revision()``, since
6011
we call them revisions not patches.
6012
6013
* Move ``copy_branch`` to ``bzrlib.clone.copy_branch``. The destination
6014
directory is created if it doesn't exist.
6015
6016
* Inventories now identify the files which were present by
6017
giving the revision *of that file*.
6018
6019
* Inventory and Revision XML contains a version identifier.
6020
This must be consistent with the overall branch version
6021
but allows for more flexibility in future upgrades.
6022
6023
TESTING:
6024
6025
* Removed testsweet module so that tests can be run after
6026
bzr installed by 'bzr selftest'.
6027
6028
* 'bzr selftest' command-line arguments can now be partial ids
6029
of tests to run, e.g. ``bzr selftest test_weave``
6030

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

6385
6386
bzr-0.0.4 2005-04-22
6387
---------------------
6388
6389
ENHANCEMENTS:
6390
6391
* 'bzr diff' optionally takes a list of files to diff. Still a bit
6392
basic. Patch from QuantumG.
6393
6394
* More default ignore patterns.
6395
6396
* New 'bzr log --verbose' shows a list of files changed in the
6397
changeset. Patch from Sebastian Cote.
6398
6399
* Roll over ~/.bzr.log if it gets too large.
6400
6401
* Command abbreviations 'ci', 'st', 'stat', '?' based on a patch
6402
by Jason Diamon.
6403
6404
* New 'bzr help commands' based on a patch from Denys Duchier.
6405
6406
6407
CHANGES:
6408
6409
* User email is determined by looking at $BZREMAIL or ~/.bzr.email
6410
or $EMAIL. All are decoded by the locale preferred encoding.
6411
If none of these are present user@hostname is used. The host's
6412
fully-qualified name is not used because that tends to fail when
6413
there are DNS problems.
6414
6415
* New 'bzr whoami' command instead of username user-email.
6416
6417
6418
BUG FIXES:
6419
6420
* Make commit safe for hardlinked bzr trees.
6421
6422
* Some Unicode/locale fixes.
6423
6424
* Partial workaround for ``difflib.unified_diff`` not handling
6425
trailing newlines properly.
6426
6427
6428
INTERNAL:
6429
6430
* Allow docstrings for help to be in PEP0257 format. Patch from
6431
Matt Brubeck.
6432
6433
* More tests in test.sh.
6434
6435
* Write profile data to a temporary file not into working
6436
directory and delete it when done.
6437
6438
* Smaller .bzr.log with process ids.
6439
6440
6441
PORTABILITY:
6442
6443
* Fix opening of ~/.bzr.log on Windows. Patch from Andrew
6444
Bennetts.
6445
6446
* Some improvements in handling paths on Windows, based on a patch
6447
from QuantumG.

bzr-0.0.3 2005-04-06
6451
---------------------
6452
6453
ENHANCEMENTS:
6454
6455
* New "directories" internal command lists versioned directories
6456
in the tree.
6457
6458
* Can now say "bzr commit --help".
6459
6460
* New "rename" command to rename one file to a different name
6461
and/or directory.
6462
6463
* New "move" command to move one or more files into a different
6464
directory.
6465
6466
* New "renames" command lists files renamed since base revision.
6467
6468
* New cat command contributed by janmar.
6469
6470
CHANGES:
6471
6472
* .bzr.log is placed in $HOME (not pwd) and is always written in
6473
UTF-8. (Probably not a completely good long-term solution, but
6474
will do for now.)
6475
6476
PORTABILITY:
6477
6478
* Workaround for difflib bug in Python 2.3 that causes an
6479
exception when comparing empty files. Reported by Erik Toubro
6480
Nielsen.
6481
6482
INTERNAL:
6483
6484
* Refactored inventory storage to insert a root entry at the top.
6485
6486
TESTING:
6487
6488
* Start of shell-based black-box testing in test.sh.

bzr-0.0.2 "black cube" 2005-03-31
6500
-----------------------------------
6501
6502
ENHANCEMENTS:
6503
6504
* Default ignore list extended (see bzrlib/__init__.py).
6505
6506
* Patterns in .bzrignore are now added to the default ignore list,
6507
rather than replacing it.
6508
6509
* Ignore list isn't reread for every file.
6510
6511
* More help topics.
6512
6513
* Reinstate the 'bzr check' command to check invariants of the
6514
branch.
6515
6516
* New 'ignored' command lists which files are ignored and why;
6517
'deleted' lists files deleted in the current working tree.
6518
6519
* Performance improvements.
6520
6521
* New global --profile option.
6522
6523
* Ignore patterns like './config.h' now correctly match files in
6524
the root directory only.
6525
6526
6527
bzr-0.0.1 2005-03-26
6528
---------------------
6529
6530
ENHANCEMENTS:
6531
6532
* More information from info command.
6533
6534
* Can now say "bzr help COMMAND" for more detailed help.
6535
6536
* Less file flushing and faster performance when writing logs and
6537
committing to stores.
6538
6539
* More useful verbose output from some commands.
6540
6541
BUG FIXES:
