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
* Give a more specific error when target branch is not reachable.
27
(James Westby)
28
29
* Implemented a custom ``walkdirs_utf8`` implementation for win32.
30
This uses a pyrex extension to get direct access to the
31
``FindFirstFileW`` style apis, rather than using ``listdir`` +
32
``lstat``. Shows a very strong improvement in commands like
33
``status`` and ``diff`` which have to iterate the working tree.
34
Anywhere from 2x-6x faster depending on the size of the tree (bigger
35
trees, bigger benefit.) (John Arbash Meinel)
36
37
* Fetching data between repositories that have the same model but no
38
optimised fetcher will not reserialise all the revisions, increasing
39
performance. (Robert Collins, John Arbash Meinel)
40
41
BUG FIXES:
42
43
* Add more tests that stacking does not create deltas spanning
44
physical repository boundaries.
45
(Martin Pool, #252428)
46
47
* Better message about incompatible repositories.
48
(Martin Pool, #206258)
49
50
* ``bzr branch --stacked`` ensures the destination branch format can
51
support stacking, even if the origin does not.
52
(Martin Pool)
53
54
* ``bzr export`` no longer exports ``.bzrrules``.
55
(Ian Clatworthy)
56
57
* Fix a test case that was failing if encoding wasn't UTF-8.
58
(John Arbash Meinel, #247585)
59
60
* Fix "no buffer space available" error when branching with the new
61
smart server protocol to or from Windows.
62
(Andrew Bennetts, #246180)
63
64
* Deleting directories by hand before running ``bzr rm`` will not
65
cause subsequent errors in ``bzr st`` and ``bzr commit``.
66
(Robert Collins, #150438)
67
68
DOCUMENTATION:
69
70
71
TESTING:
72
73
74
API CHANGES:
75
76
* The generic fetch code now uses three attributes on Repository objects
77
to control fetch. The streams requested are controlled via :
78
``_fetch_order`` and ``_fetch_uses_deltas``. Setting these
79
appropriately allows different repository implementations to recieve
80
data in their optimial form. If the ``_fetch_reconcile`` is set then
81
a reconcile operation is triggered at the end of the fetch.
82
(Robert Collins)
83
84
* The ``put_on_disk`` and ``get_tar_item`` methods in
85
``InventoryEntry`` were deprecated. (Ian Clatworthy)
86
87
* ``Repository.is_shared`` doesn't take a read lock. It didn't
88
need one in the first place (nobody cached the value, and
89
``RemoteRepository`` wasn't taking one either). This saves a round
90
trip when probing Pack repositories, as they read the ``pack-names``
91
file when locked. And during probe, locking the repo isn't very
92
useful. (John Arbash Meinel)
93
94
95
INTERNALS:
96
97
* Make it easier to introduce new WorkingTree formats.
98
(Ian Clatworthy)
99
100
* The code for exporting trees was refactored not to use the
101
deprecated ``InventoryEntry`` methods. (Ian Clatworthy)
102
103
* RuleSearchers return () instead of [] now when there are no matches.
104
(Ian Clatworthy)
105
106
* ``bzrlib.branchbuilder.BranchBuilder`` is now much more capable of
107
putting together a real history without having to create a full
108
WorkingTree. It is recommended that tests that are not directly
109
testing the WorkingTree use BranchBuilder instead. See
110
``BranchBuilder.build_snapshot`` or
111
``TestCaseWithMemoryTree.make_branch_builder``. (John Arbash Meinel)
112
113
114
bzr 1.6beta3 2008-07-17
115
-----------------------
116
117
FEATURES:
118
119
* New ``pre_change_branch_tip`` hook that is called before the
120
branch tip is moved, while the branch is write-locked. See the User
121
Reference for signature details. (Andrew Bennetts)
122
123
* Rule-based preferences can now be defined for selected files in
124
selected branches, allowing commands and plugins to provide
125
custom behaviour for files matching defined patterns.
126
See ``Rule-based preferences`` (part of ``Configuring Bazaar``)
127
in the User Guide and ``bzr help rules`` for more information.
128
(Ian Clatworthy)
129
130
* Sites may suggest a branch to stack new branches on. (Aaron Bentley)
131
132
* Stacked branches are now supported. See ``bzr help branch`` and
133
``bzr help push``. (Robert Collins)
134
135
IMPROVEMENTS:
136
137
* ``bzr export --format=tgz --root=NAME -`` to export a gzipped tarball
138
to stdout; also ``tar`` and ``tbz2``.
139
(Martin Pool)
140
141
* ``bzr (re)merge --weave`` will now use a standard Weave algorithm,
142
rather than the annotation-based merge it was using. It does so by
143
building up a Weave of the important texts, without needing to build
144
the full ancestry. (John Arbash Meinel, #238895)
145
146
* ``bzr send`` documents and better supports ``emacsclient`` (proper
147
escaping of mail headers and handling of the MUA Mew).
148
(Christophe Troestler)
149
150
* Remembered locations can be specified by aliases, e.g. :parent, :public,
151
:submit. (Aaron Bentley)
152
153
* The smart protocol now has improved support for setting branches'
154
revision info directly. This makes operations like push
155
faster. The new request method name is
156
``Branch.set_last_revision_ex``. (Andrew Bennetts)
157
158
* New registry for log properties handles and the method in
159
LongLogFormatter to display the custom properties returned by the
160
registered handlers. (Guillermo Gonzalez, #162469)
161
162
BUG FIXES:
163
164
* Bazaar is now able to be a client to the web server of IIS 6 and 7.
165
The broken implementations of RFC822 in Python and RFC2046 in IIS
166
combined with boundary-line checking in Bazaar previously made this
167
impossible. (NB, IIS 5 does not suffer from this problem).
168
(Adrian Wilkins, #247585)
169
170
* ``bzr log --long`` with a ghost in your mainline now handles that
171
ghost properly. (John Arbash Meinel, #243536)
172
173
* ``check`` handles the split-up .bzr layout correctly, so no longer
174
requires a branch to be present.
175
(Daniel Watkins, #64783)
176
177
* ``bzr serve --directory=/`` now correctly allows the whole
178
filesystem to be accessed on Windows, not just the root of the drive
179
that Python is running from.
180
(Adrian Wilkins, #240910)
181
182
* Clearer message about how to set the PYTHONPATH if bzrlib can't be
183
loaded.
184
(Martin Pool, #205230)
185
186
* Errors about missing libraries are now shown without a traceback,
187
and with a suggestion to install the library. The full traceback is
188
still in ``.bzr.log`` and can be shown with ``-Derror``.
189
(Martin Pool, #240161)
190
191
* Fixed problem in branching from smart server.
192
(#249256, Michael Hudson, Martin Pool)
193
194
* Fetch from a stacked branch copies all required data.
195
(Aaron Bentley, #248506)
196
197
* Handle urls such as ftp://user@host.com@www.host.com where the user
198
name contains an @.
199
(Neil Martinsen-Burrell, #228058)
200
201
* ``needs_read_lock`` and ``needs_write_lock`` now suppress an error during
202
``unlock`` if there was an error in the original function. This helps
203
most when there is a failure with a smart server action, since often the
204
connection closes and we cannot unlock.
205
(Andrew Bennetts, John Arbash Meinel, #125784)
206
207
* Obsolete hidden command ``bzr fetch`` removed.
208
(Martin Pool, #172870)
209
210
* Raise the correct exception when doing ``-rbefore:0`` or ``-c0``.
211
(John Arbash Meinel, #239933)
212
213
* You can now compare file revisions in Windows diff programs from
214
Cygwin Bazaar.
215
(Matt McClure, #209281)
216
217
* revision_history now tolerates mainline ghosts for Branch format 6.
218
(Aaron Bentley, #235055)
219
220
* Set locale from environment for third party libs.
221
(Martin von Gagern, #128496)
222
223
* Handle a file turning in to a directory in TreeTransform.
224
(James Westby, #248448)
225
226
DOCUMENTATION:
227
228
* Added *Using stacked branches* to the User Guide.
229
(Ian Clatworthy)
230
231
* Updated developer documentation.
232
(Martin Pool)
233
234
TESTING:
235
236
* ``-Dmemory`` will cause /proc/PID/status to be catted before bzr
237
exits, allowing low-key analysis of peak memory use. (Robert Collins)
238
239
* ``TestCaseWithTransport.make_branch_and_tree`` tries harder to return
240
a tree with a ``branch`` attribute of the right format. This was
241
preventing some ``RemoteBranch`` tests from actually running with
242
``RemoteBranch`` instances. (Andrew Bennetts)
243
244
API CHANGES:
245
246
* Removed ``Repository.text_store``, ``control_store``, etc. Instead,
247
there are new attributes ``texts, inventories, revisions,
248
signatures``, each of which is a ``VersionedFiles``. See the
249
Repository docstring for more details.
250
(Robert Collins)
251
252
* ``Branch.pull`` now accepts an ``_override_hook_target`` optional
253
parameter. If you have a subclass of ``Branch`` that overrides
254
``pull`` then you should add this parameter. (Andrew Bennetts)
255
256
* ``bzrlib.check.check()`` has been deprecated in favour of the more
257
aptly-named ``bzrlib.check.check_branch()``.
258
(Daniel Watkins)
259
260
* ``Tree.print_file`` and ``Repository.print_file`` are deprecated.
261
These methods are bad APIs because they write directly to sys.stdout.
262
bzrlib does not use them internally, and there are no direct tests
263
for them. (Alexander Belchenko)
264
265
INTERNALS:
266
267
* ``cat`` command no longer uses ``Tree.print_file()`` internally.
268
(Alexander Belchenko)
269
270
* New class method ``BzrDir.open_containing_tree_branch_or_repository``
271
which eases the discovery of the tree, the branch and the repository
272
containing a given location.
273
(Daniel Watkins)
274
275
* New ``versionedfile.KeyMapper`` interface to abstract out the access to
276
underlying .knit/.kndx etc files in repositories with partitioned
277
storage. (Robert Collins)
278
279
* Obsolete developer-use command ``weave-join`` has been removed.
280
(Robert Collins)
281
282
* ``RemoteToOtherFetcher`` and ``get_data_stream_for_search`` removed,
283
to support new ``VersionedFiles`` layering.
284
(Robert Collins)
285
286
287
bzr 1.6beta2 2008-06-10
288
-----------------------
289
290
This release contains further progress towards our 1.6 goals of shallow
291
repositories, and contains a fix for some user-affecting bugs in the
292
repository layer. Building working trees during checkout and branch is
293
now faster.
294
295
BUG FIXES:
296
297
* Avoid KnitCorrupt error extracting inventories from some repositories.
298
(The data is not corrupt; an internal check is detecting a problem
299
reading from the repository.)
300
(Martin Pool, Andrew Bennetts, Robert Collins, #234748)
301
302
* ``bzr status`` was breaking if you merged the same revision twice.
303
(John Arbash Meinel, #235407)
304
305
* Fix infinite loop consuming 100% CPU when a connection is lost while
306
reading a response body via the smart protocol v1 or v2.
307
(Andrew Bennetts)
308
309
* Inserting a bundle which changes the contents of a file with no trailing
310
end of line, causing a knit snapshot in a 'knits' repository will no longer
311
cause KnitCorrupt. (Robert Collins)
312
313
* ``RemoteBranch.pull`` needs to return the ``self._real_branch``'s
314
pull result. It was instead just returning None, which breaks ``bzr
315
pull``. (John Arbash Meinel, #238149)
316
317
* Sanitize branch nick before using it as an attachment filename in
318
``bzr send``. (Lukáš Lalinský, #210218)
319
320
* Squash ``inv_entry.symlink_target`` to a plain string when
321
generating DirState details. This prevents from getting a
322
``UnicodeError`` when you have symlinks and non-ascii filenames.
323
(John Arbash Meinel, #135320)
324
325
IMPROVEMENTS:
326
327
* Added the 'alias' command to set/unset and display aliases. (Tim Penhey)
328
329
* ``added``, ``modified``, and ``unknowns`` behaviour made consistent (all three
330
now quote paths where required). Added ``--null`` option to ``added`` and
331
``modified`` (for null-separated unknowns, use ``ls --unknown --null``)
332
(Adrian Wilkins)
333
334
* Faster branching (1.09x) and lightweight checkouts (1.06x) on large trees.
335
(Ian Clatworthy, Aaron Bentley)
336
337
DOCUMENTATION:
338
339
* Added *Bazaar Zen* section to the User Guide. (Ian Clatworthy)
340
341
TESTING:
342
343
* Fix the test HTTPServer to be isolated from chdir calls made while it is
344
running, allowing it to be used in blackbox tests. (Robert Collins)
345
346
API CHANGES:
347
348
* ``WorkingTree.set_parent_(ids/trees)`` will now filter out revisions
349
which are in the ancestry of other revisions. So if you merge the same
350
tree twice, or merge an ancestor of an existing merge, it will only
351
record the newest. (If you merge a descendent, it will replace its
352
ancestor). (John Arbash Meinel, #235407)
353
354
* ``RepositoryPolicy.__init__`` now requires stack_on and stack_on_pwd,
355
through the derived classes do not. (Aaron Bentley)
356
357
INTERNALS:
358
359
* ``bzrlib.bzrdir.BzrDir.sprout`` now accepts ``stacked`` to control
360
creating stacked branches. (Robert Collins)
361
362
* Knit record serialisation is now stricter on what it will accept, to
363
guard against potential internal bugs, or broken input. (Robert Collins)
364
365
366
bzr 1.6beta1 2008-06-02
367
-----------------------
368
369
370
Commands that work on the revision history such as push, pull, missing,
371
uncommit and log are now substantially faster. This release adds a
372
translation of some of the user documentation into Spanish. (Contributions of
373
other translations would be very welcome.) Bazaar 1.6beta1 adds a new network
374
protocol which is used by default and which allows for more efficient transfers
375
and future extensions.
376
377
378
NOTES WHEN UPGRADING:
379
380
* There is a new version of the network protocol used for bzr://, bzr+ssh://
381
and bzr+http:// connections. This will allow more efficient requests and
382
responses, and more graceful fallback when a server is too old to
383
recognise a request from a more recent client. Bazaar 1.6 will
384
interoperate with 0.16 and later versions, but servers should be upgraded
385
when possible. Bazaar 1.6 no longer interoperates with 0.15 and earlier via
386
these protocols. Use alternatives like SFTP or upgrade those servers.
387
(Andrew Bennetts, #83935)
388
389
CHANGES:
390
391
* Deprecation warnings will not be suppressed when running ``bzr selftest``
392
so that developers can see if their code is using deprecated functions.
393
(John Arbash Meinel)
394
395
FEATURES:
396
397
* Adding ``-Derror`` will now display a traceback when a plugin fails to
398
load. (James Westby)
399
400
IMPROVEMENTS:
401
402
* ``bzr branch/push/pull -r XXX`` now have a helper function for finding
403
the revno of the new revision (``Graph.find_distance_to_null``). This
404
should make something like ``bzr branch -r -100`` in a shared, no-trees
405
repository much snappier. (John Arbash Meinel)
406
407
* ``bzr log --short -r X..Y`` no longer needs to access the full revision
408
history. This makes it noticeably faster when logging the last few
409
revisions. (John Arbash Meinel)
410
411
* ``bzr ls`` now accepts ``-V`` as an alias for ``--versioned``.
412
(Jerad Cramp, #165086)
413
414
* ``bzr missing`` uses the new ``Graph.find_unique_ancestors`` and
415
``Graph.find_differences`` to determine missing revisions without having
416
to search the whole ancestry. (John Arbash Meinel, #174625)
417
418
* ``bzr uncommit`` now uses partial history access, rather than always
419
extracting the full revision history for a branch. This makes it
420
resolve the appropriate revisions much faster (in testing it drops
421
uncommit from 1.5s => 0.4s). It also means ``bzr log --short`` is one
422
step closer to not using full revision history.
423
(John Arbash Meinel, #172649)
424
425
BUGFIXES:
426
427
* ``bzr merge --lca`` should handle when two revisions have no common
428
ancestor other than NULL_REVISION. (John Arbash Meinel, #235715)
429
430
* ``bzr status`` was breaking if you merged the same revision twice.
431
(John Arbash Meinel, #235407)
432
433
* ``bzr push`` with both ``--overwrite`` and ``-r NNN`` options no longer
434
fails. (Andrew Bennetts, #234229)
435
436
* Correctly track the base URL of a smart medium when using bzr+http://
437
URLs, which was causing spurious "No repository present" errors with
438
branches in shared repositories accessed over bzr+http.
439
(Andrew Bennetts, #230550)
440
441
* Define ``_remote_is_at_least_1_2`` on ``SmartClientMedium`` so that all
442
implementations have the attribute. Fixes 'PyCurlTransport' object has no
443
attribute '_remote_is_at_least_1_2' attribute errors.
444
(Andrew Bennetts, #220806)
445
446
* Failure to delete an obsolete pack file should just give a warning
447
message, not a fatal error. It may for example fail if the file is still
448
in use by another process.
449
(Martin Pool)
450
451
* Fix MemoryError during large fetches over HTTP by limiting the amount of
452
data we try to read per ``recv`` call. The problem was observed with
453
Windows and a proxy, but might affect other environments as well.
454
(Eric Holmberg, #215426)
455
456
* Handle old merge directives correctly in Merger.from_mergeable. Stricter
457
get_parent_map requirements exposed a latent bug here. (Aaron Bentley)
458
459
* Issue a warning and ignore passwords declared in authentication.conf when
460
used for an ssh scheme (sftp or bzr+ssh).
461
(Vincent Ladeuil, #203186)
462
463
* Make both http implementations raise appropriate exceptions on 403
464
Forbidden when POSTing smart requests.
465
(Vincent Ladeuil, #230223)
466
467
* Properly *title* header names in http requests instead of capitalizing
468
them.
469
(Vincent Ladeuil, #229076)
470
471
* The "Unable to obtain lock" error message now also suggests using
472
``bzr break-lock`` to fix it. (Martin Albisetti, #139202)
473
474
* Treat an encoding of '' as ascii; this can happen when bzr is run
475
under vim on Mac OS X.
476
(Neil Martinsen-Burrell)
477
478
* ``VersionedFile.make_mpdiffs()`` was raising an exception that wasn't in
479
scope. (Daniel Fischer #235687)
480
481
DOCUMENTATION:
482
483
* Added directory structure and started translation of docs in spanish.
484
(Martin Albisetti, Lucio Albenga)
485
486
* Incorporate feedback from Jelmer Vernooij and Neil Martinsen-Burrell
487
on the plugin and integration chapters of the User Guide.
488
(Ian Clatworthy)
489
490
* More Bazaar developer documentation about packaging and release process,
491
and about use of Python reprs.
492
(Martin Pool, Martin Albisetti)
493
494
* Updated Tortise strategy document. (Mark Hammond)
495
496
TESTING:
497
498
* ``bzrlib.tests.adapt_tests`` was broken and unused - it has been fixed.
499
(Robert Collins)
500
501
* Fix the test HTTPServer to be isolated from chdir calls made while it is
502
running, allowing it to be used in blackbox tests. (Robert Collins)
503
504
* New helper function for splitting test suites
505
``split_suite_by_condition``. (Robert Collins)
506
507
INTERNALS:
508
509
* ``Branch.missing_revisions`` has been deprecated. Similar functionality
510
can be obtained using ``bzrlib.missing.find_unmerged``. The api was
511
fairly broken, and the function was unused, so we are getting rid of it.
512
(John Arbash Meinel)
513
514
API CHANGES:
515
516
* ``Branch.abspath`` is deprecated; use the Tree or Transport
517
instead. (Martin Pool)
518
519
* ``Branch.update_revisions`` now takes an optional ``Graph``
520
object. This can be used by ``update_revisions`` when it is
521
checking ancestry, and allows callers to prefer request to go to a
522
local branch. (John Arbash Meinel)
523
524
* Branch, Repository, Tree and BzrDir should expose a Transport as an
525
attribute if they have one, rather than having it indirectly accessible
526
as ``.control_files._transport``. This doesn't add a requirement
527
to support a Transport in cases where it was not needed before;
528
it just simplifies the way it is reached. (Martin Pool)
529
530
* ``bzr missing --mine-only`` will return status code 0 if you have no
531
new revisions, but the remote does. Similarly for ``--theirs-only``.
532
The new code only checks one side, so it doesn't know if the other
533
side has changes. This seems more accurate with the request anyway.
534
It also changes the output to print '[This|Other] branch is up to
535
date.' rather than displaying nothing. (John Arbash Meinel)
536
537
* ``LockableFiles.put_utf8``, ``put_bytes`` and ``controlfilename``
538
are now deprecated in favor of using Transport operations.
539
(Martin Pool)
540
541
* Many methods on ``VersionedFile``, ``Repository`` and in
542
``bzrlib.revision`` deprecated before bzrlib 1.5 have been removed.
543
(Robert Collins)
544
545
* ``RevisionSpec.wants_revision_history`` can be set to False for a given
546
``RevisionSpec``. This will disable the existing behavior of passing in
547
the full revision history to ``self._match_on``. Useful for specs that
548
don't actually need access to the full history. (John Arbash Meinel)
549
550
* The constructors of ``SmartClientMedium`` and its subclasses now require a
551
``base`` parameter. ``SmartClientMedium`` implementations now also need
552
to provide a ``remote_path_from_transport`` method. (Andrew Bennetts)
553
554
* The default permissions for creating new files and directories
555
should now be obtained from ``BzrDir._get_file_mode()`` and
556
``_get_dir_mode()``, rather than from LockableFiles. The ``_set_file_mode``
557
and ``_set_dir_mode`` variables on LockableFiles which were advertised
558
as a way for plugins to control this are no longer consulted.
559
(Martin Pool)
560
561
* ``VersionedFile.join`` is deprecated. This method required local
562
instances of both versioned file objects and was thus hostile to being
563
used for streaming from a smart server. The new get_record_stream and
564
insert_record_stream are meant to efficiently replace this method.
565
(Robert Collins)
566
567
* ``WorkingTree.set_parent_(ids/trees)`` will now filter out revisions
568
which are in the ancestry of other revisions. So if you merge the same
569
tree twice, or merge an ancestor of an existing merge, it will only
570
record the newest. (If you merge a descendent, it will replace its
571
ancestor). (John Arbash Meinel, #235407)
572
573
* ``WorkingTreeFormat2.stub_initialize_remote`` is now private.
574

578
------------------
579
580
This release of Bazaar includes several updates to the documentation, and fixes
581
to prepare for making rich root support the default format. Many bugs have been
582
squashed, including fixes to log, bzr+ssh inter-operation with older servers.
583
584
CHANGES:
585
586
* Suppress deprecation warnings when bzrlib is a 'final' release. This way
587
users of packaged software won't be bothered with DeprecationWarnings,
588
but developers and testers will still see them. (John Arbash Meinel)
589
590
DOCUMENTATION:
591
592
* Incorporate feedback from Jelmer Vernooij and Neil Martinsen-Burrell
593

600
NOTES WHEN UPGRADING:
601
602
CHANGES:
603
604
* Broader support of GNU Emacs mail clients. Set
605
``mail_client=emacsclient`` in your bazaar.conf and ``send`` will pop the
606
bundle in a mail buffer according to the value of ``mail-user-agent``
607
variable. (Xavier Maillard)
608
609
FEATURES:
610
611
IMPROVEMENTS:
612
613
* Diff now handles revision specs like "branch:" and "submit:" more
614
efficiently. (Aaron Bentley, #202928)
615
616
* More friendly error given when attempt to start the smart server
617
on an address already in use. (Andrea Corbellini, #200575)
618
619
* Pull completes much faster when there is nothing to pull.
620
(Aaron Bentley)
621
622
BUGFIXES:
623
624
* Authentication.conf can define sections without password.
625
(Vincent Ladeuil, #199440)
626
627
* Avoid muttering every time a child update does not cause a progress bar
628
update. (John Arbash Meinel, #213771)
629
630
* ``Branch.reconcile()`` is now implemented. This allows ``bzr reconcile``
631
to fix when a Branch has a non-canonical mainline history. ``bzr check``
632
also detects this condition. (John Arbash Meinel, #177855)
633
634
* ``bzr log -r ..X bzr://`` was failing, because it was getting a request
635
for ``revision_id=None`` which was not a string.
636
(John Arbash Meinel, #211661)
637
638
* ``bzr commit`` now works with Microsoft's FTP service.
639
(Andreas Deininger)
640
641
* Catch definitions outside sections in authentication.conf.
642
(Vincent Ladeuil, #217650)
643
644
* Conversion from non-rich-root to rich-root(-pack) updates inventory
645
sha1s, even when bundles are used. (Aaron Bentley, #181391)
646
647
* Conversion from non-rich-root to rich-root(-pack) works correctly even
648
though search keys are not topologically sorted. (Aaron Bentley)
649
650
* Conversion from non-rich-root to rich-root(-pack) works even when a
651
parent revision has a different root id. (Aaron Bentley, #177874)
652
653
* Disable strace testing until strace is fixed (see bug #103133) and emit a
654
warning when selftest ends to remind us of leaking tests.
655
(Vincent Ladeuil, #226769)
656
657
* Fetching all revisions from a repository does not cause pack collisions.
658
(Robert Collins, Aaron Bentley, #212908)
659
660
* Fix error about "attempt to add line-delta in non-delta knit".
661
(Andrew Bennetts, #217701)
662
663
* Pushing a branch in "dirstate" format (Branch5) over bzr+ssh would break
664
if the remote server was < version 1.2. This was due to a bug in the
665
RemoteRepository.get_parent_map() fallback code.
666
(John Arbash Meinel, #214894)
667
668
* Remove leftover code in ``bzr_branch`` that inappropriately creates
669
a ``branch-name`` file in the branch control directory.
670
(Martin Pool)
671
672
* Set SO_REUSEADDR on server sockets of ``bzr serve`` to avoid problems
673
rebinding the socket when starting the server a second time.
674
(John Arbash Meinel, Martin Pool, #164288)
675
676
* Severe performance degradation in fetching from knit repositories to
677
knits and packs due to parsing the entire revisions.kndx on every graph
678
walk iteration fixed by using the Repository.get_graph API. There was
679
another regression in knit => knit fetching which re-read the index for
680
every revision each side had in common.
681
(Robert Collins, John Arbash Meinel)
682
683
* When logging the changes to a particular file, there was a bug if there
684
were ghosts in the revision ancestry. (John Arbash Meinel, #209948)
685
686
* xs4all's ftp server returns a temporary error when trying to list an
687
empty directory, rather than returning an empty list. Adding a
688
workaround so that we don't get spurious failures.
689
(John Arbash Meinel, #215522)
690
691
DOCUMENTATION:
692
693
* Expanded the User Guide to include new chapters on popular plugins and
694
integrating Bazaar into your environment. The *Best practices* chapter
695
was renamed to *Miscellaneous topics* as suggested by community
696
feedback as well. (Ian Clatworthy)
697
698
* Document outlining strategies for TortoiseBzr. (Mark Hammond)
699
700
* Improved the documentation on hooks. (Ian Clatworthy)
701
702
* Update authentication docs regarding ssh agents.
703
(Vincent Ladeuil, #183705)
704
705
TESTING:
706
707
* Add ``thread_name_suffix`` parameter to SmartTCPServer_for_testing, to
708
make it easy to identify which test spawned a thread with an unhandled
709
exception. (Andrew Bennetts)
710
711
* New ``--debugflag``/``-E`` option to ``bzr selftest`` for setting
712
options for debugging tests, these are complementary to the the -D
713
options. The ``-Dselftest_debug`` global option has been replaced by the
714
``-E=allow_debug`` option for selftest. (Andrew Bennetts)
715
716
* Parameterised test ids are preserved correctly to aid diagnosis of test
717
failures. (Robert Collins, Andrew Bennetts)
718
719
* selftest now accepts --starting-with <id> to load only the tests whose id
720
starts with the one specified. This greatly speeds up running the test
721
suite on a limited set of tests and can be used to run the tests for a
722
single module, a single class or even a single test. (Vincent Ladeuil)
723
724
* The test suite modules have been modified to define load_tests() instead
725
of test_suite(). That speeds up selective loading (via --load-list)
726
significantly and provides many examples on how to migrate (grep for
727
load_tests). (Vincent Ladeuil)
728
729
INTERNALS:
730
731
* ``Hooks.install_hook`` is now deprecated in favour of
732
``Hooks.install_named_hook`` which adds a required ``name`` parameter, to
733
avoid having to call ``Hooks.name_hook``. (Daniel Watkins)
734
735
* Implement xml8 serializer. (Aaron Bentley)
736
737
* New form ``@deprecated_method(deprecated_in(1, 5, 0))`` for making
738
deprecation wrappers. (Martin Pool)
739
740
* ``Repository.revision_parents`` is now deprecated in favour of
741
``Repository.get_parent_map([revid])[revid]``. (Jelmer Vernooij)
742
743
* The Python ``assert`` statement is no longer used in Bazaar source, and
744
a test checks this. (Martin Pool)
745
746
API CHANGES:
747
748
* ``bzrlib.status.show_pending_merges`` requires the repository to be
749
locked by the caller. Callers should have been doing it anyway, but it
750
will now raise an exception if they do not. (John Arbash Meinel)
751
752
* Repository.get_data_stream, Repository.get_data_stream_for_search(),
753
Repository.get_deltas_for_revsions(), Repository.revision_trees(),
754
Repository.item_keys_introduced_by() no longer take read locks.
755
(Aaron Bentley)
756
757
* ``LockableFiles.get_utf8`` and ``.get`` are deprecated, as a start
758
towards removing LockableFiles and ``.control_files`` entirely.
759
(Martin Pool)
760
761
* Methods deprecated prior to 1.1 have been removed.

bzr 1.4 2008-04-28
766
------------------
767
768
This release of Bazaar includes handy improvements to the speed of log and
769
status, new options for several commands, improved documentation, and better
770
hooks, including initial code for server-side hooks. A number of bugs have
771
been fixed, particularly in interoperability between different formats or
772
different releases of Bazaar over there network. There's been substantial
773
internal work in both the repository and network code to enable new features
774
and faster performance.
775
776
BUG FIXES:
777
778
* Pushing a branch in "dirstate" format (Branch5) over bzr+ssh would break
779
if the remote server was < version 1.2. This was due to a bug in the
780
RemoteRepository.get_parent_map() fallback code.

bzr 1.4rc2 2008-04-21
785
---------------------
786
787
BUG FIXES:
788
789
* ``bzr log -r ..X bzr://`` was failing, because it was getting a request
790
for ``revision_id=None`` which was not a string.
791
(John Arbash Meinel, #211661)
792
793
* Fixed a bug in handling ghost revisions when logging changes in a
794
particular file. (John Arbash Meinel, #209948)
795
796
* Fix error about "attempt to add line-delta in non-delta knit".
797
(Andrew Bennetts, #205156)
798
799
* Fixed performance degradation in fetching from knit repositories to
800
knits and packs due to parsing the entire revisions.kndx on every graph
801
walk iteration fixed by using the Repository.get_graph API. There was
802
another regression in knit => knit fetching which re-read the index for

bzr 1.4rc1 2008-04-11
808
---------------------
809
810
CHANGES:
811
812
* bzr main script cannot be imported (Benjamin Peterson)
813
814
* On Linux bzr additionally looks for plugins in arch-independent site
815
directory. (Toshio Kuratomi)
816
817
* The ``set_rh`` branch hook is now deprecated. Please migrate
818
any plugins using this hook to use an alternative, e.g.
819
``post_change_branch_tip``. (Ian Clatworthy)
820
821
* When a plugin cannot be loaded as the file path is not a valid
822
python module name bzr will now strip a ``bzr_`` prefix from the
823
front of the suggested name, as many plugins (e.g. bzr-svn)
824
want to be installed without this prefix. It is a common mistake
825
to have a folder named "bzr-svn" for that plugin, especially
826
as this is what bzr branch lp:bzr-svn will give you. (James Westby,
827
Andrew Cowie)
828
829
* UniqueIntegerBugTracker now appends bug-ids instead of joining
830
them to the base URL. Plugins that register bug trackers may
831
need a trailing / added to the base URL if one is not already there.
832
(James Wesby, Andrew Cowie)
833
834
FEATURES:
835
836
* Added start_commit hook for mutable trees. (Jelmer Vernooij, #186422)
837
838
* ``status`` now accepts ``--no-pending`` to show the status without
839
listing pending merges, which speeds up the command a lot on large
840
histories. (James Westby, #202830)
841
842
* New ``post_change_branch_tip`` hook that is called after the
843
branch tip is moved but while the branch is still write-locked.
844
See the User Reference for signature details.
845
(Ian Clatworthy, James Henstridge)
846
847
* Reconfigure can convert a branch to be standalone or to use a shared
848
repository. (Aaron Bentley)
849
850
IMPROVEMENTS:
851
852
* The smart protocol now has support for setting branches' revision info
853
directly. This should make operations like push slightly faster, and is a
854
step towards server-side hooks. The new request method name is
855
``Branch.set_last_revision_info``. (Andrew Bennetts)
856
857
* ``bzr commit --fixes`` now recognises "gnome" as a tag by default.
858
(James Westby, Andrew Cowie)
859
860
* ``bzr switch`` will attempt to find branches to switch to relative to the
861
current branch. E.g. ``bzr switch branchname`` will look for
862
``current_branch/../branchname``. (Robert Collins, Jelmer Vernooij,
863
Wouter van Heyst)
864
865
* Diff is now more specific about execute-bit changes it describes
866
(Chad Miller)
867
868
* Fetching data over HTTP is a bit faster when urllib is used. This is done
869
by forcing it to recv 64k at a time when reading lines in HTTP headers,
870
rather than just 1 byte at a time. (Andrew Bennetts)
871
872
* Log --short and --line are much faster when -r is not specified.
873
(Aaron Bentley)
874
875
* Merge is faster. We no longer check a file's existence unnecessarily
876
when merging the execute bit. (Aaron Bentley)
877
878
* ``bzr status`` on an explicit list of files no longer shows pending
879
merges, making it much faster on large trees. (John Arbash Meinel)
880
881
* The launchpad directory service now warns the user if they have not set
882
their launchpad login and are trying to resolve a URL using it, just
883
in case they want to do a write operation with it. (James Westby)
884
885
* The smart protocol client is slightly faster, because it now only queries
886
the server for the protocol version once per connection. Also, the HTTP
887
transport will now automatically probe for and use a smart server if
888
one is present. You can use the new ``nosmart+`` transport decorator
889
to get the old behaviour. (Andrew Bennetts)
890
891
* The ``version`` command takes a ``--short`` option to print just the
892
version number, for easier use in scripts. (Martin Pool)
893
894
* Various operations with revision specs and commands that calculate
895
revnos and revision ids are faster. (John A. Meinel, Aaron Bentley)
896
897
BUGFIXES:
898
899
* Add ``root_client_path`` parameter to SmartWSGIApp and
900
SmartServerRequest. This makes it possible to publish filesystem
901
locations that don't exactly match URL paths. SmartServerRequest
902
subclasses should use the new ``translate_client_path`` and
903
``transport_from_client_path`` methods when dealing with paths received
904
from a client to take this into account. (Andrew Bennetts, #124089)
905
906
* ``bzr mv a b`` can be now used also to rename previously renamed
907
directories, not only files. (Lukáš Lalinský, #107967)
908
909
* ``bzr uncommit --local`` can now remove revisions from the local
910
branch to be symmetric with ``bzr commit --local``.
911
(John Arbash Meinel, #93412)
912
913
* Don't ask for a password if there is no real terminal.
914
(Alexander Belchenko, #69851)
915
916
* Fix a bug causing a ValueError crash in ``parse_line_delta_iter`` when
917
fetching revisions from a knit to pack repository or vice versa using
918
bzr:// (including over http or ssh).
919
(#208418, Andrew Bennetts, Martin Pool, Robert Collins)
920
921
* Fixed ``_get_line`` in ``bzrlib.smart.medium``, which was buggy. Also
922
fixed ``_get_bytes`` in the same module to use the push back buffer.
923
These bugs had no known impact in normal use, but were problematic for
924
developers working on the code, and were likely to cause real bugs sooner
925
or later. (Andrew Bennetts)
926
927
* Implement handling of basename parameter for DefaultMail. (James Westby)
928
929
* Incompatibility with Paramiko versions newer than 1.7.2 was fixed.
930
(Andrew Bennetts, #213425)
931
932
* Launchpad locations (lp: URLs) can be pulled. (Aaron Bentley, #181945)
933
934
* Merges that add files to deleted root directories complete. They
935

936
937
* vsftp's return ``550 RNFR command failed.`` supported.

DOCUMENTATION:
941
942
* Improved documentation on send/merge relationship. (Peter Schuller)
943
944
* Minor fixes to the User Guide. (Matthew Fuller)
945
946
* Reduced the evangelism in the User Guide. (Ian Clatworthy)
947
948
* Added Integrating with Bazaar document for developers (Martin Albisetti)
949
950
API BREAKS:
951
952
* Attempting to pull data from a ghost aware repository (e.g. knits) into a
953
non-ghost aware repository such as weaves will now fail if there are
954
ghosts. (Robert Collins)
955
956
* ``KnitVersionedFile`` no longer accepts an ``access_mode`` parameter, and
957
now requires the ``index`` and ``access_method`` parameters to be
958
supplied. A compatible shim has been kept in the new function
959
``knit.make_file_knit``. (Robert Collins)
960
961
* Log formatters must now provide log_revision instead of show and
962
show_merge_revno methods. The latter had been deprecated since the 0.17
963
release. (James Westby)
964
965
* ``LoopbackSFTP`` is now called ``SocketAsChannelAdapter``.
966
(Andrew Bennetts)
967
968
* ``osutils.backup_file`` is removed. (Alexander Belchenko)
969
970
* ``Repository.get_revision_graph`` is deprecated, with no replacement
971
method. The method was size(history) and not desirable. (Robert Collins)
972
973
* ``revision.revision_graph`` is deprecated, with no replacement function.
974
The function was size(history) and not desirable. (Robert Collins)
975
976
* ``Transport.get_shared_medium`` is deprecated. Use
977
``Transport.get_smart_medium`` instead. (Andrew Bennetts)
978
979
* ``VersionedFile`` factories now accept a get_scope parameter rather
980
than using a call to ``transaction_finished``, allowing the removal of
981
the fixed list of versioned files per repository. (Robert Collins)
982
983
* ``VersionedFile.annotate_iter`` is deprecated. While in principle this
984
allowed lower memory use, all users of annotations wanted full file
985
annotations, and there is no storage format suitable for incremental
986
line-by-line annotation. (Robert Collins)
987
988
* ``VersionedFile.clone_text`` is deprecated. This performance optimisation
989
is no longer used - reading the content of a file that is undergoing a
990
file level merge to identical state on two branches is rare enough, and
991
not expensive enough to special case. (Robert Collins)
992
993
* ``VersionedFile.clear_cache`` and ``enable_cache`` are deprecated.
994
These methods added significant complexity to the ``VersionedFile``
995
implementation, but were only used for optimising fetches from knits -
996
which can be done from outside the knit layer, or via a caching
997
decorator. As knits are not the default format, the complexity is no
998
longer worth paying. (Robert Collins)
999
1000
* ``VersionedFile.create_empty`` is removed. This method presupposed a
1001
sensible mapping to a transport for individual files, but pack backed
1002
versioned files have no such mapping. (Robert Collins)
1003
1004
* ``VersionedFile.get_graph`` is deprecated, with no replacement method.
1005
The method was size(history) and not desirable. (Robert Collins)
1006
1007
* ``VersionedFile.get_graph_with_ghosts`` is deprecated, with no
1008
replacement method. The method was size(history) and not desirable.
1009
(Robert Collins)
1010
1011
* ``VersionedFile.get_parents`` is deprecated, please use
1012
``VersionedFile.get_parent_map``. (Robert Collins)
1013
1014
* ``VersionedFile.get_sha1`` is deprecated, please use
1015
``VersionedFile.get_sha1s``. (Robert Collins)
1016
1017
* ``VersionedFile.has_ghost`` is now deprecated, as it is both expensive
1018
and unused outside of a single test. (Robert Collins)
1019
1020
* ``VersionedFile.iter_parents`` is now deprecated in favour of
1021
``get_parent_map`` which can be used to instantiate a Graph on a
1022
VersionedFile. (Robert Collins)
1023
1024
* ``VersionedFileStore`` no longer uses the transaction parameter given
1025
to most methods; amongst other things this means that the
1026
get_weave_or_empty method no longer guarantees errors on a missing weave
1027
in a readonly transaction, and no longer caches versioned file instances
1028
which reduces memory pressure (but requires more careful management by
1029
callers to preserve performance). (Robert Collins)
1030
1031
TESTING:
1032
1033
* New -Dselftest_debug flag disables clearing of the debug flags during
1034
tests. This is useful if you want to use e.g. -Dhpss to help debug a
1035
failing test. Be aware that using this feature is likely to cause
1036
spurious test failures if used with the full suite. (Andrew Bennetts)
1037
1038
* selftest --load-list now uses a new more agressive test loader that will
1039
avoid loading unneeded modules and building their tests. Plugins can use
1040
this new loader by defining a load_tests function instead of a test_suite
1041
function. (a forthcoming patch will provide many examples on how to
1042
implement this).
1043
(Vincent Ladeuil)
1044
1045
* selftest --load-list now does some sanity checks regarding duplicate test
1046
IDs and tests present in the list but not found in the actual test suite.
1047
(Vincent Ladeuil)
1048
1049
* Slightly more concise format for the selftest progress bar, so there's
1050
more space to show the test name. (Martin Pool) ::
1051
1052
[2500/10884, 1fail, 3miss in 1m29s] test_revisionnamespaces.TestRev
1053
1054
* The test suite takes much less memory to run, and is a bit faster. This
1055
is done by clearing most attributes of TestCases after running them, if
1056
they succeeded. (Andrew Bennetts)
1057
1058
INTERNALS:
1059
1060
* Added ``_build_client_protocol`` to ``_SmartClient``. (Andrew Bennetts)
1061
1062
* Added basic infrastructure for automatic plugin suggestion.
1063
(Martin Albisetti)
1064
1065
* If a ``LockableFiles`` object is not explicitly unlocked (for example
1066
because of a missing ``try/finally`` block, it will give a warning but
1067
not automatically unlock itself. (Previously they did.) This
1068
sometimes caused knock-on errors if for example the network connection
1069
had already failed, and should not be relied upon by code.
1070
(Martin Pool, #109520)
1071
1072
* ``make dist`` target to build a release tarball, and also
1073
``check-dist-tarball`` and ``dist-upload-escudero``. (Martin Pool)
1074
1075
* The ``read_response_tuple`` method of ``SmartClientRequestProtocol*``
1076
classes will now raise ``UnknownSmartMethod`` when appropriate, so that
1077
callers don't need to try distinguish unknown request errors from other
1078
errors. (Andrew Bennetts)
1079
1080
* ``set_make_working_trees`` is now implemented provided on all repository
1081
implementations (Aaron Bentley)
1082
1083
* ``VersionedFile`` now has a new method ``get_parent_map`` which, like
1084
``Graph.get_parent_map`` returns a dict of key:parents. (Robert Collins)

BUG FIXES:
1097
1098
* Fix a bug causing a ValueError crash in ``parse_line_delta_iter`` when
1099
fetching revisions from a knit to pack repository or vice versa using

bzr 1.3 2008-03-20
1105
------------------
1106
1107
Bazaar has become part of the GNU project <http://www.gnu.org>
1108
1109
Many operations that act on history, including ``log`` and ``annotate`` are now
1110
substantially faster. Several bugs have been fixed and several new options and
1111
features have been added.
1112
1113
TESTING:
1114
1115
* Avoid spurious failure of ``TestVersion.test_version`` matching
1116
directory names.

NOTES WHEN UPGRADING:
1124
1125
* The backup directory created by ``upgrade`` is now called
1126
``backup.bzr``, not ``.bzr.backup``. (Martin Albisetti)
1127
1128
CHANGES:
1129
1130
* A new repository format 'development' has been added. This format will
1131
represent the latest 'in-progress' format that the bzr developers are
1132
interested in getting early-adopter testing and feedback on.
1133
``doc/developers/development-repo.txt`` has detailed information.
1134
(Robert Collins)
1135
1136
* BZR_LOG environment variable controls location of .bzr.log trace file.
1137
User can suppress writing messages to .bzr.log by using '/dev/null'
1138
filename (on Linux) or 'NUL' (on Windows). If BZR_LOG variable
1139
is not defined but BZR_HOME is defined then default location
1140
for .bzr.log trace file is ``$BZR_HOME/.bzr.log``.
1141
(Alexander Belchenko)
1142
1143
* ``launchpad`` builtin plugin now shipped as separate part in standalone
1144
bzr.exe, installed to ``C:\Program Files\Bazaar\plugins`` directory,
1145
and standalone installer allows user to skip installation of this plugin.
1146
(Alexander Belchenko)
1147
1148
* Restore auto-detection of plink.exe on Windows. (Dmitry Vasiliev)
1149
1150
* Version number is now shown as "1.2" or "1.2pr2", without zeroed or
1151
missing final fields. (Martin Pool)
1152
1153
FEATURES:
1154
1155
* ``branch`` and ``checkout`` can hard-link working tree files, which is
1156
faster and saves space. (Aaron Bentley)
1157
1158
* ``bzr send`` will now also look at the ``child_submit_to`` setting in
1159
the submit branch to determine the email address to send to.
1160
(Jelmer Vernooij)
1161
1162
IMPROVEMENTS:
1163
1164
* BzrBranch._lefthand_history is faster on pack repos. (Aaron Bentley)
1165
1166
* Branch6.generate_revision_history is faster. (Aaron Bentley)
1167
1168
* Directory services can now be registered, allowing special URLs to be
1169
dereferenced into real URLs. This is a generalization and cleanup of
1170
the lp: transport lookup. (Aaron Bentley)
1171
1172
* Merge directives that are automatically attached to emails have nicer
1173
filenames, based on branch-nick + revno. (Aaron Bentley)
1174
1175
* ``push`` has a ``--revision`` option, to specify what revision to push up
1176
to. (Daniel Watkins)
1177
1178
* Significantly reducing execution time and network traffic for trivial
1179
case of running ``bzr missing`` command for two identical branches.
1180
(Alexander Belchenko)
1181
1182
* Speed up operations that look at the revision graph (such as 'bzr log').
1183
``KnitPackRepositor.get_revision_graph`` uses ``Graph.iter_ancestry`` to
1184
extract the revision history. This allows filtering ghosts while
1185
stepping instead of needing to peek ahead. (John Arbash Meinel)
1186
1187
* The ``hooks`` command lists installed hooks, to assist in debugging.
1188
(Daniel Watkins)
1189
1190
* Updates to how ``annotate`` work. Should see a measurable improvement in
1191
performance and memory consumption for file with a lot of merges.
1192
Also, correctly handle when a line is introduced by both parents (it
1193
should be attributed to the first merge which notices this, and not
1194
to all subsequent merges.) (John Arbash Meinel)
1195
1196
BUGFIXES:
1197
1198
* Autopacking no longer holds the full set of inventory lines in
1199
memory while copying. For large repositories, this can amount to
1200
hundreds of MB of ram consumption.
1201
(Ian Clatworthy, John Arbash Meinel)
1202
1203
* Cherrypicking when using ``--format=merge3`` now explictly excludes
1204
BASE lines. (John Arbash Meinel, #151731)
1205
1206
* Disable plink's interactive prompt for password.
1207
(#107593, Dmitry Vasiliev)
1208
1209
* Encode command line arguments from unicode to user_encoding before
1210
invoking external mail client in `bzr send` command.
1211
(#139318, Alexander Belchenko)
1212
1213
* Fixed problem connecting to ``bzr+https://`` servers.
1214
(#198793, John Ferlito)
1215
1216
* Improved error reporting in the Launchpad plugin. (Daniel Watkins,
1217
#196618)
1218
1219
* Include quick-start-summary.svg file to python-based installer(s)
1220
for Windows. (#192924, Alexander Belchenko)
1221
1222
* lca merge now respects specified files. (Aaron Bentley)
1223
1224
* Make version-info --custom imply --all. (#195560, James Westby)
1225
1226
* ``merge --preview`` now works for merges that add or modify
1227
symlinks (James Henstridge)
1228
1229
* Redirecting the output from ``bzr merge`` (when the remembered
1230
location is used) now works. (John Arbash Meinel)
1231
1232
* setup.py script explicitly checks for Python version.
1233
(Jari Aalto, Alexander Belchenko, #200569)
1234
1235
* UnknownFormatErrors no longer refer to branches regardless of kind of
1236
unknown format. (Daniel Watkins, #173980)
1237
1238
* Upgrade bundled ConfigObj to version 4.5.2, which properly quotes #
1239
signs, among other small improvements. (Matt Nordhoff, #86838)
1240
1241
* Use correct indices when emitting LCA conflicts. This fixes IndexError
1242
errors. (Aaron Bentley, #196780)
1243
1244
DOCUMENTATION:
1245
1246
* Explained how to use ``version-info --custom`` in the User Guide.
1247
(Neil Martinsen-Burrell)
1248
1249
API BREAKS:
1250
1251
* Support for loading plugins from zip files and
1252
``bzrlib.plugin.load_from_zip()`` function are deprecated.
1253
(Alexander Belchenko)
1254
1255
TESTING:
1256
1257
* Added missing blackbox tests for ``modified`` (Adrian Wilkins)
1258
1259
* The branch interface tests were invalid for branches using rich-root
1260
repositories because the empty string is not a valid file-id.
1261
(Robert Collins)
1262
1263
INTERNALS:
1264
1265
* ``Graph.iter_ancestry`` returns the ancestry of revision ids. Similar to
1266
``Repository.get_revision_graph()`` except it includes ghosts and you can
1267
stop part-way through. (John Arbash Meinel)
1268
1269
* New module ``tools/package_mf.py`` provide custom module finder for
1270
python packages (improves standard python library's modulefinder.py)
1271
used by ``setup.py`` script while building standalone bzr.exe.
1272
(Alexander Belchenko)
1273
1274
* New remote method ``RemoteBzrDir.find_repositoryV2`` adding support for
1275
detecting external lookup support on remote repositories. This method is
1276
now attempted first when lookup up repositories, leading to an extra
1277
round trip on older bzr smart servers. (Robert Collins)
1278
1279
* Repository formats have a new supported-feature attribute
1280
``supports_external_lookups`` used to indicate repositories which support
1281
falling back to other repositories when they have partial data.
1282
(Robert Collins)
1283
1284
* ``Repository.get_revision_graph_with_ghosts`` and
1285
``bzrlib.revision.(common_ancestor,MultipleRevisionSources,common_graph)``
1286
have been deprecated. (John Arbash Meinel)
1287
1288
* ``Tree.iter_changes`` is now a public API, replacing the work-in-progress
1289
``Tree._iter_changes``. The api is now considered stable and ready for
1290
external users. (Aaron Bentley)
1291
1292
* The bzrdir format registry now accepts an ``alias`` keyword to
1293
register_metadir, used to indicate that a format name is an alias for
1294
some other format and thus should not be reported when describing the
1295
format. (Robert Collins)

1309
NOTES WHEN UPGRADING:
1310
1311
* Fetching via the smart protocol may need to reconnect once during a fetch
1312
if the remote server is running Bazaar 1.1 or earlier, because the client
1313
attempts to use more efficient requests that confuse older servers. You
1314
may be required to re-enter a password or passphrase when this happens.
1315
This won't happen if the server is upgraded to Bazaar 1.2.
1316
(Andrew Bennetts)
1317
1318
CHANGES:
1319
1320
* Fetching via bzr+ssh will no longer fill ghosts by default (this is
1321
consistent with pack-0.92 fetching over SFTP). (Robert Collins)
1322
1323
* Formatting of ``bzr plugins`` output is changed to be more human-
1324
friendly. Full path of plugins locations will be shown only with
1325
``--verbose`` command-line option. (Alexander Belchenko)
1326
1327
* ``merge`` now prefers to use the submit branch, but will fall back to
1328
parent branch. For many users, this has no effect. But some users who
1329
pull and merge on the same branch will notice a change. This change
1330
makes it easier to work on a branch on two different machines, pulling
1331
between the machines, while merging from the upstream.
1332
``merge --remember`` can now be used to set the submit_branch.
1333
(Aaron Bentley)
1334
1335
FEATURES:
1336
1337
* ``merge --preview`` produces a diff of the changes merge would make,
1338
but does not actually perform the merge. (Aaron Bentley)
1339
1340
* New smart method ``Repository.get_parent_map`` for getting revision
1341
parent data. This returns additional parent information topologically
1342
adjacent to the requested data to reduce round trip latency impacts.
1343
(Robert Collins)
1344
1345
* New smart method, ``Repository.stream_revisions_chunked``, for fetching
1346
revision data that streams revision data via a chunked encoding. This
1347
avoids buffering large amounts of revision data on the server and on the
1348
client, and sends less data to the server to request the revisions.
1349
(Andrew Bennetts, Robert Collins, #178353)
1350
1351
* The launchpad plugin now handles lp urls of the form
1352
``lp://staging/``, ``lp://demo/``, ``lp://dev/`` to use the appropriate
1353
launchpad instance to do the resolution of the branch identities.
1354
This is primarily of use to Launchpad developers, but can also
1355
be used by other users who want to try out Launchpad as
1356
a branch location without messing up their public Launchpad
1357
account. Branches that are pushed to the staging environment
1358
have an expected lifetime of one day. (Tim Penhey)
1359
1360
IMPROVEMENTS:
1361
1362
* Creating a new branch no longer tries to read the entire revision-history
1363
unnecessarily over smart server operations. (Robert Collins)
1364
1365
* Fetching between different repository formats with compatible models now
1366
takes advantage of the smart method to stream revisions. (Andrew Bennetts)
1367
1368
* The ``--coverage`` option is now global, rather specific to ``bzr
1369
selftest``. (Andrew Bennetts)
1370
1371
* The ``register-branch`` command will now use the public url of the branch
1372
containing the current directory, if one has been set and no explicit
1373
branch is provided. (Robert Collins)
1374
1375
* Tweak the ``reannotate`` code path to optimize the 2-parent case.
1376
Speeds up ``bzr annotate`` with a pack repository by approx 3:2.
1377
(John Arbash Meinel)
1378
1379
BUGFIXES:
1380
1381
* Calculate remote path relative to the shared medium in _SmartClient. This
1382
is related to the problem in bug #124089. (Andrew Bennetts)
1383
1384
* Cleanly handle connection errors in smart protocol version two, the same
1385
way as they are handled by version one. (Andrew Bennetts)
1386
1387
* Clearer error when ``version-info --custom`` is used without
1388
``--template`` (Lukáš Lalinský)
1389
1390
* Don't raise UnavailableFeature during test setup when medusa is not
1391
available or tearDown is never called leading to nasty side effects.
1392
(#137823, Vincent Ladeuil)
1393
1394
* If a plugin's test suite cannot be loaded, for example because of a syntax
1395
error in the tests, then ``selftest`` fails, rather than just printing
1396
a warning. (Martin Pool, #189771)
1397
1398
* List possible values for BZR_SSH environment variable in env-variables
1399
help topic. (Alexander Belchenko, #181842)
1400
1401
* New methods ``push_log_file`` and ``pop_log_file`` to intercept messages:
1402
popping the log redirection now precisely restores the previous state,
1403
which makes it easier to use bzr log output from other programs.
1404
TestCaseInTempDir no longer depends on a log redirection being established
1405
by the test framework, which lets bzr tests cleanly run from a normal
1406
unittest runner.
1407
(#124153, #124849, Martin Pool, Jonathan Lange)
1408
1409
* ``pull --quiet`` is now more quiet, in particular a message is no longer
1410
printed when the remembered pull location is used. (James Westby,
1411
#185907)
1412
1413
* ``reconfigure`` can safely be interrupted while fetching.
1414
(Aaron Bentley, #179316)
1415
1416
* ``reconfigure`` preserves tags when converting to and from lightweight
1417
checkouts. (Aaron Bentley, #182040)
1418
1419
* Stop polluting /tmp when running selftest.
1420
(Vincent Ladeuil, #123623)
1421
1422
* Switch from NFKC => NFC for normalization checks. NFC allows a few
1423
more characters which should be considered valid.
1424
(John Arbash Meinel, #185458)
1425
1426
* The launchpad plugin now uses the ``edge`` xmlrpc server to avoid
1427
interacting badly with a bug on the launchpad side. (Robert Collins)
1428
1429
* Unknown hostnames when connecting to a ``bzr://`` URL no longer cause
1430
tracebacks. (Andrew Bennetts, #182849)
1431
1432
API BREAKS:
1433
1434
* Classes implementing Merge types like Merge3Merger must now accept (and
1435
honour) a do_merge flag in their constructor. (Aaron Bentley)
1436
1437
* ``Repository.add_inventory`` and ``add_revision`` now require the caller
1438
to previously take a write lock (and start a write group.)
1439
(Martin Pool)
1440
1441
TESTING:
1442
1443
* selftest now accepts --load-list <file> to load a test id list. This
1444
speeds up running the test suite on a limited set of tests.
1445
(Vincent Ladeuil)
1446
1447
INTERNALS:
1448
1449
* Add a new method ``get_result`` to graph search objects. The resulting
1450
``SearchResult`` can be used to recreate the search later, which will
1451
be useful in reducing network traffic. (Robert Collins)
1452
1453
* Use convenience function to check whether two repository handles
1454
are referring to the same repository in ``Repository.get_graph``.
1455
(Jelmer Vernooij, #187162)
1456
1457
* Fetching now passes the find_ghosts flag through to the
1458
``InterRepository.missing_revision_ids`` call consistently for all
1459
repository types. This will enable faster missing revision discovery with
1460
bzr+ssh. (Robert Collins)
1461
1462
* Fix error handling in Repository.insert_data_stream. (Lukas Lalinsky)
1463
1464
* ``InterRepository.missing_revision_ids`` is now deprecated in favour of
1465
``InterRepository.search_missing_revision_ids`` which returns a
1466
``bzrlib.graph.SearchResult`` suitable for making requests from the smart
1467
server. (Robert Collins)
1468
1469
* New error ``NoPublicBranch`` for commands that need a public branch to
1470
operate. (Robert Collins)
1471
1472
* New method ``iter_inventories`` on Repository for access to many
1473
inventories. This is primarily used by the ``revision_trees`` method, as
1474
direct access to inventories is discouraged. (Robert Collins)
1475
1476
* New method ``next_with_ghosts`` on the Graph breadth-first-search objects
1477
which will split out ghosts and present parents into two separate sets,
1478
useful for code which needs to be aware of ghosts (e.g. fetching data
1479
cares about ghosts during revision selection). (Robert Collins)
1480
1481
* Record a timestamp against each mutter to the trace file, relative to the
1482
first import of bzrlib. (Andrew Bennetts)
1483
1484
* ``Repository.get_data_stream`` is now deprecated in favour of
1485
``Repository.get_data_stream_for_search`` which allows less network
1486
traffic when requesting data streams over a smart server. (Robert Collins)
1487
1488
* ``RemoteBzrDir._get_tree_branch`` no longer triggers ``_ensure_real``,
1489
removing one round trip on many network operations. (Robert Collins)
1490
1491
* RemoteTransport's ``recommended_page_size`` method now returns 64k, like
1492
SFTPTransport and HttpTransportBase. (Andrew Bennetts)
1493
1494
* Repository has a new method ``has_revisions`` which signals the presence
1495
of many revisions by returning a set of the revisions listed which are
1496
present. This can be done by index queries without reading data for parent
1497
revision names etc. (Robert Collins)

1508
CHANGES:
1509
1510
* Dotted revision numbers have been revised. Instead of growing longer with
1511
nested branches the branch number just increases. (eg instead of 1.1.1.1.1
1512
we now report 1.2.1.) This helps scale long lived branches which have many
1513
feature branches merged between them. (John Arbash Meinel)
1514
1515
* The syntax ``bzr diff branch1 branch2`` is no longer supported.
1516
Use ``bzr diff branch1 --new branch2`` instead. This change has
1517
been made to remove the ambiguity where ``branch2`` is in fact a
1518
specific file to diff within ``branch1``.
1519
1520
FEATURES:
1521
1522
* New option to use custom template-based formats in ``bzr version-info``.
1523
(Lukáš Lalinský)
1524
1525
* diff '--using' allows an external diff tool to be used for files.
1526
(Aaron Bentley)
1527
1528
* New "lca" merge-type for fast everyday merging that also supports
1529
criss-cross merges. (Aaron Bentley)
1530
1531
IMPROVEMENTS:
1532
1533
* ``annotate`` now doesn't require a working tree. (Lukáš Lalinský,
1534
#90049)
1535
1536
* ``branch`` and ``checkout`` can now use files from a working tree to
1537
to speed up the process. For checkout, this requires the new
1538
--files-from flag. (Aaron Bentley)
1539
1540
* ``bzr diff`` now sorts files in alphabetical order. (Aaron Bentley)
1541
1542
* ``bzr diff`` now works on branches without working trees. Tree-less
1543
branches can also be compared to each other and to working trees using
1544
the new diff options ``--old`` and ``--new``. Diffing between branches,
1545
with or without trees, now supports specific file filtering as well.
1546
(Ian Clatworthy, #6700)
1547
1548
* ``bzr pack`` now orders revision texts in topological order, with newest
1549
at the start of the file, promoting linear reads for ``bzr log`` and the
1550
like. This partially fixes #154129. (Robert Collins)
1551
1552
* Merge directives now fetch prerequisites from the target branch if
1553
needed. (Aaron Bentley)
1554
1555
* pycurl now handles digest authentication.
1556
(Vincent Ladeuil)
1557
1558
* ``reconfigure`` can now convert from repositories. (Aaron Bentley)
1559
1560
* ``-l`` is now a short form for ``--limit`` in ``log``. (Matt Nordhoff)
1561
1562
* ``merge`` now warns when merge directives cause cherrypicks.
1563
(Aaron Bentley)
1564
1565
* ``split`` now supported, to enable splitting large trees into smaller
1566
pieces. (Aaron Bentley)
1567
1568
BUGFIXES:
1569
1570
* Avoid AttributeError when unlocking a pack repository when an error occurs.
1571
(Martin Pool, #180208)
1572
1573
* Better handle short reads when processing multiple range requests.
1574
(Vincent Ladeuil, #179368)
1575
1576
* build_tree acceleration uses the correct path when a file has been moved.
1577
(Aaron Bentley)
1578
1579
* ``commit`` now succeeds when a checkout and its master branch share a
1580
repository. (Aaron Bentley, #177592)
1581
1582
* Fixed error reporting of unsupported timezone format in
1583
``log --timezone``. (Lukáš Lalinský, #178722)
1584
1585
* Fixed Unicode encoding error in ``ignored`` when the output is
1586
redirected to a pipe. (Lukáš Lalinský)
1587
1588
* Fix traceback when sending large response bodies over the smart protocol
1589
on Windows. (Andrew Bennetts, #115781)
1590
1591
* Fix ``urlutils.relative_url`` for the case of two ``file:///`` URLs
1592
pointed to different logical drives on Windows.
1593
(Alexander Belchenko, #90847)
1594
1595
* HTTP test servers are now compatible with the http protocol version 1.1.
1596
(Vincent Ladeuil, #175524)
1597
1598
* _KnitParentsProvider.get_parent_map now handles requests for ghosts
1599
correctly, instead of erroring or attributing incorrect parents to ghosts.
1600
(Aaron Bentley)
1601
1602
* ``merge --weave --uncommitted`` now works. (Aaron Bentley)
1603
1604
* pycurl authentication handling was broken and incomplete. Fix handling of
1605
user:pass embedded in the urls.
1606
(Vincent Ladeuil, #177643)
1607
1608
* Files inside non-directories are now handled like other conflict types.
1609
(Aaron Bentley, #177390)
1610
1611
* ``reconfigure`` is able to convert trees into lightweight checkouts.
1612
(Aaron Bentley)
1613
1614
* Reduce lockdir timeout to 0 when running ``bzr serve``. (Andrew Bennetts,
1615
#148087)
1616
1617
* Test that the old ``version_info_format`` functions still work, even
1618
though they are deprecated. (John Arbash Meinel, ShenMaq, #177872)
1619
1620
* Transform failures no longer cause ImmortalLimbo errors (Aaron Bentley,
1621
#137681)
1622
1623
* ``uncommit`` works even when the commit messages of revisions to be
1624
removed use characters not supported in the terminal encoding.
1625
(Aaron Bentley)
1626
1627
* When dumb http servers return whole files instead of the requested ranges,
1628
read the remaining bytes by chunks to avoid overflowing network buffers.
1629
(Vincent Ladeuil, #175886)
1630
1631
DOCUMENTATION:
1632
1633
* Minor tweaks made to the bug tracker integration documentation.
1634
(Ian Clatworthy)
1635
1636
* Reference material has now be moved out of the User Guide and added
1637
to the User Reference. The User Reference has gained 4 sections as
1638
a result: Authenication Settings, Configuration Settings, Conflicts
1639
and Hooks. All help topics are now dumped into text format in the
1640
doc/en/user-reference directory for those who like browsing that
1641
information in their editor. (Ian Clatworthy)
1642
1643
* *Using Bazaar with Launchpad* tutorial added. (Ian Clatworthy)
1644
1645
INTERNALS:
1646
1647
* find_* methods available for BzrDirs, Branches and WorkingTrees.
1648

1649
1650
* Help topics can now be loaded from files.
1651
(Ian Clatworthy, Alexander Belchenko)
1652
1653
* get_parent_map now always provides tuples as its output. (Aaron Bentley)
1654
1655
* Parent Providers should now implement ``get_parent_map`` returning a
1656
dictionary instead of ``get_parents`` returning a list.
1657
``Graph.get_parents`` is now deprecated. (John Arbash Meinel,
1658
Robert Collins)
1659
1660
* Patience Diff now supports arbitrary python objects, as long as they
1661
support ``hash()``. (John Arbash Meinel)
1662
1663
* Reduce selftest overhead to establish test names by memoization.

(Vincent Ladeuil)
1665
1666
API BREAKS:

1668
TESTING:
1669
1670
* Modules can now customise their tests by defining a ``load_tests``
1671
attribute. ``pydoc bzrlib.tests.TestUtil.TestLoader.loadTestsFromModule``
1672
for the documentation on this attribute. (Robert Collins)
1673
1674
* New helper function ``bzrlib.tests.condition_id_re`` which helps
1675
filter tests based on a regular expression search on the tests id.
1676
(Robert Collins)
1677
1678
* New helper function ``bzrlib.tests.condition_isinstance`` which helps
1679
filter tests based on class. (Robert Collins)
1680
1681
* New helper function ``bzrlib.tests.exclude_suite_by_condition`` which
1682
generalises the ``exclude_suite_by_re`` function. (Robert Collins)
1683
1684
* New helper function ``bzrlib.tests.filter_suite_by_condition`` which
1685
generalises the ``filter_suite_by_re`` function. (Robert Collins)
1686
1687
* New helper method ``bzrlib.tests.exclude_tests_by_re`` which gives a new
1688
TestSuite that does not contain tests from the input that matched a
1689
regular expression. (Robert Collins)
1690
1691
* New helper method ``bzrlib.tests.randomize_suite`` which returns a
1692
randomized copy of the input suite. (Robert Collins)
1693
1694
* New helper method ``bzrlib.tests.split_suite_by_re`` which splits a test
1695
suite into two according to a regular expression. (Robert Collins)
1696
1697
* Parametrize all http tests for the transport implementations, the http
1698
protocol versions (1.0 and 1.1) and the authentication schemes.
1699
(Vincent Ladeuil)
1700
1701
* The ``exclude_pattern`` and ``random_order`` parameters to the function
1702
``bzrlib.tests.filter_suite_by_re`` have been deprecated. (Robert Collins)
1703
1704
* The method ``bzrlib.tests.sort_suite_by_re`` has been deprecated. It is
1705
replaced by the new helper methods added in this release. (Robert Collins)

BUGFIXES:
1736
1737
* Fix Makefile rules for doc generation. (Ian Clatworthy, #175207)
1738
1739
* Give more feedback during long http downloads by making readv deliver data
1740
as it arrives for urllib, and issue more requests for pycurl. High latency
1741
networks are better handled by urllib, the pycurl implementation give more
1742
feedback but also incur more latency.
1743
(Vincent Ladeuil, #173010)
1744

1776
* New configuration option ``bugtracker_<tracker_abbrevation>_url`` to
1777
define locations of bug trackers that are not directly supported by
1778
bzr or a plugin. The URL will be treated as a template and ``{id}``
1779
placeholders will be replaced by specific bug IDs. (Lukáš Lalinský)
1780
1781
* Support logging single merge revisions with short and line log formatters.
1782

1784
* User Guide enhanced with suggested readability improvements from
1785
Matt Revell and corrections from John Arbash Meinel. (Ian Clatworthy)

1787
* Quick Start Guide renamed to Quick Start Card, moved down in
1788
the catalog, provided in pdf and png format and updated to refer
1789
to ``send`` instead of ``bundle``. (Ian Clatworthy, #165080)
1790
1791
* ``switch`` can now be used on heavyweight checkouts as well as
1792
lightweight ones. After switching a heavyweight checkout, the
1793
local branch is a mirror/cache of the new bound branch and
1794
uncommitted changes in the working tree are merged. As a safety
1795
check, if there are local commits in a checkout which have not
1796
been committed to the previously bound branch, then ``switch``
1797
fails unless the ``--force`` option is given. This option is
1798
now also required if the branch a lightweight checkout is pointing
1799
to has been moved. (Ian Clatworthy)

1815
(Alexander Belchenko, #111758)
1816
1817
* Catch ShortReadvErrors while using pycurl. Also make readv more robust by
1818
allowing multiple GET requests to be issued if too many ranges are
1819
required.
1820
(Vincent Ladeuil, #172701)

1837
NOTES WHEN UPGRADING:
1838
1839
* The default repository format is now ``pack-0.92``. This
1840
default is used when creating new repositories with ``init`` and
1841
``init-repo``, and when branching over bzr+ssh or bzr+hpss.
1842
(See https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/164626)
1843
1844
This format can be read and written by Bazaar 0.92 and later, and
1845
data can be transferred to and from older formats.
1846
1847
To upgrade, please reconcile your repository (``bzr reconcile``), and then
1848
upgrade (``bzr upgrade``).
1849
1850
``pack-0.92`` offers substantially better scaling and performance than the
1851
previous knits format. Some operations are slower where the code already
1852
had bad scaling characteristics under knits, the pack format makes such
1853
operations more visible as part of being more scalable overall. We will
1854
correct such operations over the coming releases and encourage the filing
1855
of bugs on any operation which you observe to be slower in a packs
1856
repository. One particular case that we do not intend to fix is pulling
1857
data from a pack repository into a knit repository over a high latency
1858
link; downgrading such data requires reinsertion of the file texts, and
1859
this is a classic space/time tradeoff. The current implementation is
1860
conservative on memory usage because we need to support converting data
1861
from any tree without problems.

* Disable detection of plink.exe as possible ssh vendor. Plink vendor
1867
still available if user selects it explicitly with BZR_SSH environment
1868
variable. (Alexander Belchenko, workaround for bug #107593)
1869
1870
* The pack format is now accessible as "pack-0.92", or "pack-0.92-subtree"
1871
to enable the subtree functions (for example, for bzr-svn).

supported transports.
1880
(Vincent Ladeuil)
1881
1882
* New rich-root and rich-root-pack formats, recording the same data about
1883
tree roots that's recorded for all other directories.
1884
(Aaron Bentley, #164639)
1885
1886
* ``pack-0.92`` repositories can now be reconciled.
1887
(Robert Collins, #154173)
1888
1889
* ``switch`` command added for changing the branch a lightweight checkout
1890
is associated with and updating the tree to reflect the latest content
1891
accordingly. This command was previously part of the BzrTools plug-in.
1892
(Ian Clatworthy, Aaron Bentley, David Allouche)
1893
1894
* ``reconfigure`` command can now convert branches, trees, or checkouts to
1895
lightweight checkouts. (Aaron Bentley)
1896
1897
PERFORMANCE:
1898
1899
* Commit updates the state of the working tree via a delta rather than
1900
supplying entirely new basis trees. For commit of a single specified file
1901
this reduces the wall clock time for commit by roughly a 30%.
1902
(Robert Collins, Martin Pool)
1903
1904
* Commit with many automatically found deleted paths no longer performs
1905
linear scanning for the children of those paths during inventory
1906
iteration. This should fix commit performance blowing out when many such
1907
paths occur during commit. (Robert Collins, #156491)
1908
1909
* Fetch with pack repositories will no longer read the entire history graph.
1910
(Robert Collins, #88319)
1911
1912
* Revert takes out an appropriate lock when reverting to a basis tree, and
1913
does not read the basis inventory twice. (Robert Collins)
1914
1915
* Diff does not require an inventory to be generated on dirstate trees.
1916
(Aaron Bentley, #149254)
1917
1918
* New annotate merge (--merge-type=weave) implementation is fast on
1919
versionedfiles withough cached annotations, e.g. pack-0.92.
1920
(Aaron Bentley)
1921
1922
IMPROVEMENTS:
1923
1924
* ``bzr merge`` now warns when it encounters a criss-cross merge.
1925
(Aaron Bentley)
1926
1927
* ``bzr send`` now doesn't require the target e-mail address to be
1928
specified on the command line if an interactive e-mail client is used.
1929
(Lukáš Lalinský)
1930
1931
* ``bzr tags`` now prints the revision number for each tag, instead of
1932
the revision id, unless --show-ids is passed. In addition, tags can be
1933
sorted chronologically instead of lexicographically with --sort=time.
1934
(Adeodato Simó, #120231)
1935
1936
* Windows standalone version of bzr is able to load system-wide plugins from
1937
"plugins" subdirectory in installation directory. In addition standalone
1938
installer write to the registry (HKLM\SOFTWARE\Bazaar) useful info
1939
about paths and bzr version. (Alexander Belchenko, #129298)

BUG FIXES:
1944
1945
* A progress bar has been added for knitpack -> knitpack fetching.
1946
(Robert Collins, #157789, #159147)
1947
1948
* Branching from a branch via smart server now preserves the repository
1949
format. (Andrew Bennetts, #164626)
1950
1951
* ``commit`` is now able to invoke an external editor in a non-ascii
1952
directory. (Daniel Watkins, #84043)
1953
1954
* Catch connection errors for ftp.
1955
(Vincent Ladeuil, #164567)
1956
1957
* ``check`` no longer reports spurious unreferenced text versions.
1958
(Robert Collins, John A Meinel, #162931, #165071)
1959
1960
* Conflicts are now resolved recursively by ``revert``.
1961
(Aaron Bentley, #102739)
1962
1963
* Detect invalid transport reuse attempts by catching invalid URLs.
1964
(Vincent Ladeuil, #161819)
1965
1966
* Deleting a file without removing it shows a correct diff, not a traceback.
1967
(Aaron Bentley)
1968
1969
* Do no use timeout in HttpServer anymore.
1970
(Vincent Ladeuil, #158972).
1971
1972
* Don't catch the exceptions related to the http pipeline status before
1973
retrying an http request or some programming errors may be masked.
1974
(Vincent Ladeuil, #160012)
1975
1976
* Fix ``bzr rm`` to not delete modified and ignored files.
1977
(Lukáš Lalinský, #172598)
1978
1979
* Fix exception when revisionspec contains merge revisons but log
1980
formatter doesn't support merge revisions. (Kent Gibson, #148908)
1981
1982
* Fix exception when ScopeReplacer is assigned to before any members have
1983
been retrieved. (Aaron Bentley)
1984
1985
* Fix multiple connections during checkout --lightweight.
1986
(Vincent Ladeuil, #159150)
1987
1988
* Fix possible error in insert_data_stream when copying between
1989
pack repositories over bzr+ssh or bzr+http.
1990
KnitVersionedFile.get_data_stream now makes sure that requested
1991
compression parents are sent before any delta hunks that depend
1992
on them.
1993
(Martin Pool, #164637)
1994
1995
* Fix typo in limiting offsets coalescing for http, leading to
1996
whole files being downloaded instead of parts.
1997
(Vincent Ladeuil, #165061)
1998
1999
* FTP server errors don't error in the error handling code.
2000
(Robert Collins, #161240)
2001
2002
* Give a clearer message when a pull fails because the source needs
2003
to be reconciled.
2004
(Martin Pool, #164443)
2005
2006
* It is clearer when a plugin cannot be loaded because of its name, and a
2007
suggestion for an acceptable name is given. (Daniel Watkins, #103023)
2008
2009
* Leave port as None in transport objects if user doesn't
2010
specify a port in urls.
2011
(vincent Ladeuil, #150860)
2012
2013
* Make sure Repository.fetch(self) is properly a no-op for all
2014
Repository implementations. (John Arbash Meinel, #158333)
2015
2016
* Mark .bzr directories as "hidden" on Windows.
2017
(Alexander Belchenko, #71147)
2018
2019
* ``merge --uncommitted`` can now operate on a single file.
2020
(Aaron Bentley, Lukáš Lalinský, #136890)
2021
2022
* Obsolete packs are now cleaned up by pack and autopack operations.
2023
(Robert Collins, #153789)
2024
2025
* Operations pulling data from a smart server where the underlying
2026
repositories are not both annotated/both unannotated will now work.
2027
(Robert Collins, #165304).
2028
2029
* Reconcile now shows progress bars. (Robert Collins, #159351)
2030
2031
* ``RemoteBranch`` was not initializing ``self._revision_id_to_revno_map``
2032
properly. (John Arbash Meinel, #162486)
2033
2034
* Removing an already-removed file reports the file does not exist. (Daniel
2035
Watkins, #152811)
2036
2037
* Rename on Windows is able to change filename case.
2038
(Alexander Belchenko, #77740)
2039
2040
* Return error instead of a traceback for ``bzr log -r0``.
2041
(Kent Gibson, #133751)
2042
2043
* Return error instead of a traceback when bzr is unable to create
2044
symlink on some platforms (e.g. on Windows).
2045
(Alexander Belchenko, workaround for #81689)
2046
2047
* Revert doesn't crash when restoring a single file from a deleted
2048
directory. (Aaron Bentley)
2049
2050
* Stderr output via logging mechanism now goes through encoded wrapper
2051
and no more uses utf-8, but terminal encoding instead. So all unicode
2052
strings now should be readable in non-utf-8 terminal.
2053
(Alexander Belchenko, #54173)
2054
2055
* The error message when ``move --after`` should be used makes how to do so
2056
clearer. (Daniel Watkins, #85237)
2057
2058
* Unicode-safe output from ``bzr info``. The output will be encoded
2059
using the terminal encoding and unrepresentable characters will be
2060
replaced by '?'. (Lukáš Lalinský, #151844)
2061
2062
* Working trees are no longer created when pushing into a local no-trees
2063
repo. (Daniel Watkins, #50582)
2064
2065
* Upgrade util/configobj to version 4.4.0.
2066
(Vincent Ladeuil, #151208).
2067
2068
* Wrap medusa ftp test server as an FTPServer feature.
2069
(Vincent Ladeuil, #157752)
2070
2071
API BREAKS:
2072
2073
* ``osutils.backup_file`` is deprecated. Actually it's not used in bzrlib
2074
during very long time. (Alexander Belchenko)
2075
2076
* The return value of
2077
``VersionedFile.iter_lines_added_or_present_in_versions`` has been
2078
changed. Previously it was an iterator of lines, now it is an iterator of
2079
(line, version_id) tuples. This change has been made to aid reconcile and
2080
fetch operations. (Robert Collins)
2081
2082
* ``bzrlib.repository.get_versioned_file_checker`` is now private.
2083
(Robert Collins)
2084
2085
* The Repository format registry default has been removed; it was previously
2086
obsoleted by the bzrdir format default, which implies a default repository
2087
format.
2088
(Martin Pool)
2089
2090
INTERNALS:
2091
2092
* Added ``ContainerSerialiser`` and ``ContainerPushParser`` to
2093
``bzrlib.pack``. These classes provide more convenient APIs for generating
2094
and parsing containers from streams rather than from files. (Andrew
2095
Bennetts)
2096
2097
* New module ``lru_cache`` providing a cache for use by tasks that need
2098
semi-random access to large amounts of data. (John A Meinel)
2099
2100
* InventoryEntry.diff is now deprecated. Please use diff.DiffTree instead.

2116
NOTES WHEN UPGRADING:
2117
2118
CHANGES:
2119
2120
* ``bzr`` now returns exit code 4 if an internal error occurred, and
2121
3 if a normal error occurred. (Martin Pool)
2122
2123
* ``pull``, ``merge`` and ``push`` will no longer silently correct some
2124
repository index errors that occured as a result of the Weave disk format.
2125
Instead the ``reconcile`` command needs to be run to correct those
2126
problems if they exist (and it has been able to fix most such problems
2127
since bzr 0.8). Some new problems have been identified during this release
2128
and you should run ``bzr check`` once on every repository to see if you
2129
need to reconcile. If you cannot ``pull`` or ``merge`` from a remote
2130
repository due to mismatched parent errors - a symptom of index errors -
2131
you should simply take a full copy of that remote repository to a clean
2132
directory outside any local repositories, then run reconcile on it, and
2133
finally pull from it locally. (And naturally email the repositories owner
2134
to ask them to upgrade and run reconcile).
2135
(Robert Collins)
2136
2137
FEATURES:
2138
2139
* New ``knitpack-experimental`` repository format. This is interoperable with
2140
the ``dirstate-tags`` format but uses a smarter storage design that greatly
2141
speeds up many operations, both local and remote. This new format can be
2142
used as an option to the ``init``, ``init-repository`` and ``upgrade``
2143
commands. See http://doc.bazaar-vcs.org/0.92/developers/knitpack.html
2144
for further details. (Robert Collins)
2145
2146
* For users of bzr-svn (and those testing the prototype subtree support) that
2147
wish to try packs, a new ``knitpack-subtree-experimental`` format has also
2148
been added. This is interoperable with the ``dirstate-subtrees`` format.
2149
(Robert Collins)
2150
2151
* New ``reconfigure`` command. (Aaron Bentley)
2152
2153
* New ``revert --forget-merges`` command, which removes the record of a pending
2154
merge without affecting the working tree contents. (Martin Pool)
2155
2156
* New ``bzr_remote_path`` configuration variable allows finer control of
2157
remote bzr locations than BZR_REMOTE_PATH environment variable.
2158
(Aaron Bentley)
2159
2160
* New ``launchpad-login`` command to tell Bazaar your Launchpad
2161
user ID. This can then be used by other functions of the
2162
Launchpad plugin. (James Henstridge)
2163
2164
PERFORMANCE:
2165
2166
* Commit in quiet mode is now slightly faster as the information to
2167
output is no longer calculated. (Ian Clatworthy)
2168
2169
* Commit no longer checks for new text keys during insertion when the
2170
revision id was deterministically unique. (Robert Collins)
2171
2172
* Committing a change which is not a merge and does not change the number of
2173
files in the tree is faster by utilising the data about whether files are
2174
changed to determine if the tree is unchanged rather than recalculating
2175
it at the end of the commit process. (Robert Collins)
2176
2177
* Inventory serialisation no longer double-sha's the content.
2178
(Robert Collins)
2179
2180
* Knit text reconstruction now avoids making copies of the lines list for
2181
interim texts when building a single text. The new ``apply_delta`` method
2182
on ``KnitContent`` aids this by allowing modification of the revision id
2183
such objects represent. (Robert Collins)
2184
2185
* Pack indices are now partially parsed for specific key lookup using a
2186
bisection approach. (Robert Collins)
2187
2188
* Partial commits are now approximately 40% faster by walking over the
2189
unselected current tree more efficiently. (Robert Collins)
2190
2191
* XML inventory serialisation takes 20% less time while being stricter about
2192
the contents. (Robert Collins)
2193
2194
* Graph ``heads()`` queries have been fixed to no longer access all history
2195
unnecessarily. (Robert Collins)
2196
2197
IMPROVEMENTS:
2198
2199
* ``bzr+https://`` smart server across https now supported.
2200
(John Ferlito, Martin Pool, #128456)
2201
2202
* Mutt is now a supported mail client; set ``mail_client=mutt`` in your
2203
bazaar.conf and ``send`` will use mutt. (Keir Mierle)
2204
2205
* New option ``-c``/``--change`` for ``merge`` command for cherrypicking
2206
changes from one revision. (Alexander Belchenko, #141368)
2207
2208
* Show encodings, locale and list of plugins in the traceback message.
2209
(Martin Pool, #63894)
2210
2211
* Experimental directory formats can now be marked with
2212
``experimental = True`` during registration. (Ian Clatworthy)
2213
2214
DOCUMENTATION:
2215
2216
* New *Bazaar in Five Minutes* guide. (Matthew Revell)
2217
2218
* The hooks reference documentation is now converted to html as expected.
2219
(Ian Clatworthy)
2220
2221
BUG FIXES:
2222
2223
* Connection error reporting for the smart server has been fixed to
2224
display a user friendly message instead of a traceback.
2225
(Ian Clatworthy, #115601)
2226
2227
* Make sure to use ``O_BINARY`` when opening files to check their
2228
sha1sum. (Alexander Belchenko, John Arbash Meinel, #153493)
2229
2230
* Fix a problem with Win32 handling of the executable bit.
2231
(John Arbash Meinel, #149113)
2232
2233
* ``bzr+ssh://`` and ``sftp://`` URLs that do not specify ports explicitly
2234
no longer assume that means port 22. This allows people using OpenSSH to
2235
override the default port in their ``~/.ssh/config`` if they wish. This
2236
fixes a bug introduced in bzr 0.91. (Andrew Bennetts, #146715)
2237
2238
* Commands reporting exceptions can now be profiled and still have their
2239
data correctly dumped to a file. For example, a ``bzr commit`` with
2240
no changes still reports the operation as pointless but doing so no
2241
longer throws away the profiling data if this command is run with
2242
``--lsprof-file callgrind.out.ci`` say. (Ian Clatworthy)
2243
2244
* Fallback to ftp when paramiko is not installed and sftp can't be used for
2245
``tests/commands`` so that the test suite is still usable without
2246
paramiko.
2247
(Vincent Ladeuil, #59150)
2248
2249
* Fix commit ordering in corner case. (Aaron Bentley, #94975)
2250
2251
* Fix long standing bug in partial commit when there are renames
2252
left in tree. (Robert Collins, #140419)
2253
2254
* Fix selftest semi-random noise during http related tests.
2255
(Vincent Ladeuil, #140614)
2256
2257
* Fix typo in ftp.py making the reconnection fail on temporary errors.
2258
(Vincent Ladeuil, #154259)
2259
2260
* Fix failing test by comparing real paths to cover the case where the TMPDIR
2261
contains a symbolic link.
2262
(Vincent Ladeuil, #141382).
2263
2264
* Fix log against smart server branches that don't support tags.
2265
(James Westby, #140615)
2266
2267
* Fix pycurl http implementation by defining error codes from
2268
pycurl instead of relying on an old curl definition.
2269
(Vincent Ladeuil, #147530)
2270
2271
* Fix 'unprintable error' message when displaying BzrCheckError and
2272
some other exceptions on Python 2.5.
2273
(Martin Pool, #144633)
2274
2275
* Fix ``Inventory.copy()`` and add test for it. (Jelmer Vernooij)
2276
2277
* Handles default value for ListOption in cmd_commit.
2278
(Vincent Ladeuil, #140432)
2279
2280
* HttpServer and FtpServer need to be closed properly or a listening socket
2281
will remain opened.
2282
(Vincent Ladeuil, #140055)
2283
2284
* Monitor the .bzr directory created in the top level test
2285
directory to detect leaking tests.
2286
(Vincent Ladeuil, #147986)
2287
2288
* The basename, not the full path, is now used when checking whether
2289
the profiling dump file begins with ``callgrind.out`` or not. This
2290
fixes a bug reported by Aaron Bentley on IRC. (Ian Clatworthy)
2291
2292
* Trivial fix for invoking command ``reconfigure`` without arguments.
2293
(Rob Weir, #141629)
2294
2295
* ``WorkingTree.rename_one`` will now raise an error if normalisation of the
2296
new path causes bzr to be unable to access the file. (Robert Collins)
2297
2298
* Correctly detect a NoSuchFile when using a filezilla server. (Gary van der
2299
Merwe)
2300
2301
API BREAKS:
2302
2303
* ``bzrlib.index.GraphIndex`` now requires a size parameter to the
2304
constructor, for enabling bisection searches. (Robert Collins)
2305
2306
* ``CommitBuilder.record_entry_contents`` now requires the root entry of a
2307
tree be supplied to it, previously failing to do so would trigger a
2308
deprecation warning. (Robert Collins)
2309
2310
* ``KnitVersionedFile.add*`` will no longer cache added records even when
2311
enable_cache() has been called - the caching feature is now exclusively for
2312
reading existing data. (Robert Collins)
2313
2314
* ``ReadOnlyLockError`` is deprecated; ``LockFailed`` is usually more
2315
appropriate. (Martin Pool)
2316
2317
* Removed ``bzrlib.transport.TransportLogger`` - please see the new
2318
``trace+`` transport instead. (Robert Collins)
2319
2320
* Removed previously deprecated varargs interface to ``TestCase.run_bzr`` and
2321
deprecated methods ``TestCase.capture`` and ``TestCase.run_bzr_captured``.
2322
(Martin Pool)
2323
2324
* Removed previous deprecated ``basis_knit`` parameter to the
2325
``KnitVersionedFile`` constructor. (Robert Collins)
2326
2327
* Special purpose method ``TestCase.run_bzr_decode`` is moved to the test_non_ascii
2328
class that needs it.
2329
(Martin Pool)
2330
2331
* The class ``bzrlib.repofmt.knitrepo.KnitRepository3`` has been folded into
2332
``KnitRepository`` by parameters to the constructor. (Robert Collins)
2333
2334
* The ``VersionedFile`` interface now allows content checks to be bypassed
2335
by supplying check_content=False. This saves nearly 30% of the minimum
2336
cost to store a version of a file. (Robert Collins)
2337
2338
* Tree's with bad state such as files with no length or sha will no longer
2339
be silently accepted by the repository XML serialiser. To serialise
2340
inventories without such data, pass working=True to write_inventory.
2341
(Robert Collins)
2342
2343
* ``VersionedFile.fix_parents`` has been removed as a harmful API.
2344
``VersionedFile.join`` will no longer accept different parents on either
2345
side of a join - it will either ignore them, or error, depending on the
2346
implementation. See notes when upgrading for more information.

2349
INTERNALS:
2350
2351
* ``bzrlib.transport.Transport.put_file`` now returns the number of bytes
2352
put by the method call, to allow avoiding stat-after-write or
2353
housekeeping in callers. (Robert Collins)
2354
2355
* ``bzrlib.xml_serializer.Serializer`` is now responsible for checking that
2356
mandatory attributes are present on serialisation and deserialisation.
2357
This fixes some holes in API usage and allows better separation between
2358
physical storage and object serialisation. (Robert Collins)
2359
2360
* New class ``bzrlib.errors.InternalBzrError`` which is just a convenient
2361
shorthand for deriving from BzrError and setting internal_error = True.
2362
(Robert Collins)
2363
2364
* New method ``bzrlib.mutabletree.update_to_one_parent_via_delta`` for
2365
moving the state of a parent tree to a new version via a delta rather than
2366
a complete replacement tree. (Robert Collins)
2367
2368
* New method ``bzrlib.osutils.minimum_path_selection`` useful for removing
2369
duplication from user input, when a user mentions both a path and an item
2370
contained within that path. (Robert Collins)
2371
2372
* New method ``bzrlib.repository.Repository.is_write_locked`` useful for
2373
determining if a repository is write locked. (Robert Collins)
2374
2375
* New method on ``bzrlib.tree.Tree`` ``path_content_summary`` provides a
2376
tuple containing the key information about a path for commit processing
2377
to complete. (Robert Collins)
2378
2379
* New method on xml serialisers, write_inventory_to_lines, which matches the
2380
API used by knits for adding content. (Robert Collins)
2381
2382
* New module ``bzrlib.bisect_multi`` with generic multiple-bisection-at-once
2383
logic, currently only available for byte-based lookup
2384
(``bisect_multi_bytes``). (Robert Collins)
2385
2386
* New helper ``bzrlib.tuned_gzip.bytes_to_gzip`` which takes a byte string
2387
and returns a gzipped version of the same. This is used to avoid a bunch
2388
of api friction during adding of knit hunks. (Robert Collins)
2389
2390
* New parameter on ``bzrlib.transport.Transport.readv``
2391
``adjust_for_latency`` which changes readv from returning strictly the
2392
requested data to inserted return larger ranges and in forward read order
2393
to reduce the effect of network latency. (Robert Collins)
2394
2395
* New parameter yield_parents on ``Inventory.iter_entries_by_dir`` which
2396
causes the parents of a selected id to be returned recursively, so all the
2397
paths from the root down to each element of selected_file_ids are
2398
returned. (Robert Collins)
2399
2400
* Knit joining has been enhanced to support plain to annotated conversion
2401
and annotated to plain conversion. (Ian Clatworthy)
2402
2403
* The CommitBuilder method ``record_entry_contents`` now returns summary
2404
information about the effect of the commit on the repository. This tuple
2405
contains an inventory delta item if the entry changed from the basis, and a
2406
boolean indicating whether a new file graph node was recorded.
2407
(Robert Collins)
2408
2409
* The python path used in the Makefile can now be overridden.
2410
(Andrew Bennetts, Ian Clatworthy)
2411
2412
TESTING:
2413
2414
* New transport implementation ``trace+`` which is useful for testing,
2415
logging activity taken to its _activity attribute. (Robert Collins)
2416
2417
* When running bzr commands within the test suite, internal exceptions are
2418
not caught and reported in the usual way, but rather allowed to propagate
2419
up and be visible to the test suite. A new API ``run_bzr_catch_user_errors``
2420
makes this behavior available to other users.
2421
(Martin Pool)
2422
2423
* New method ``TestCase.call_catch_warnings`` for testing methods that
2424
raises a Python warning. (Martin Pool)

2430
BUG FIXES:
2431
2432
* Print a warning instead of aborting the ``python setup.py install``
2433
process if building of a C extension is not possible.
2434
(Lukáš Lalinský, Alexander Belchenko)
2435
2436
* Fix commit ordering in corner case (Aaron Bentley, #94975)
2437
2438
* Fix ''bzr info bzr://host/'' and other operations on ''bzr://' URLs with
2439
an implicit port. We were incorrectly raising PathNotChild due to
2440
inconsistent treatment of the ''_port'' attribute on the Transport object.
2441
(Andrew Bennetts, #133965)
2442
2443
* Make RemoteRepository.sprout cope gracefully with servers that don't
2444
support the ``Repository.tarball`` request.

2448
bzr 0.91rc2 2007-09-11

2452
in bzrlib/remote.py.

----------------------
2457
2458
CHANGES:
2459
2460
* The default branch and repository format has changed to
2461
``dirstate-tags``, so tag commands are active by default.
2462
This format is compatible with Bazaar 0.15 and later.
2463
This incidentally fixes bug #126141.
2464
(Martin Pool)
2465
2466
* ``--quiet`` or ``-q`` is no longer a global option. If present, it
2467
must now appear after the command name. Scripts doing things like
2468
``bzr -q missing`` need to be rewritten as ``bzr missing -q``.
2469
(Ian Clatworthy)
2470
2471
FEATURES:
2472
2473
* New option ``--author`` in ``bzr commit`` to specify the author of the
2474
change, if it's different from the committer. ``bzr log`` and
2475
``bzr annotate`` display the author instead of the committer.
2476
(Lukáš Lalinský)
2477
2478
* In addition to global options and command specific options, a set of
2479
standard options are now supported. Standard options are legal for
2480
all commands. The initial set of standard options are:
2481
2482
* ``--help`` or ``-h`` - display help message
2483
* ``--verbose`` or ``-v`` - display additional information
2484
* ``--quiet`` or ``-q`` - only output warnings and errors.
2485
2486
Unlike global options, standard options can be used in aliases and
2487
may have command-specific help. (Ian Clatworthy)
2488
2489
* Verbosity level processing has now been unified. If ``--verbose``
2490
or ``-v`` is specified on the command line multiple times, the
2491
verbosity level is made positive the first time then increased.
2492
If ``--quiet`` or ``-q`` is specified on the command line
2493
multiple times, the verbosity level is made negative the first
2494
time then decreased. To get the default verbosity level of zero,
2495
either specify none of the above , ``--no-verbose`` or ``--no-quiet``.
2496
Note that most commands currently ignore the magnitude of the
2497
verbosity level but do respect *quiet vs normal vs verbose* when
2498
generating output. (Ian Clatworthy)
2499
2500
* ``Branch.hooks`` now supports ``pre_commit`` hook. The hook's signature
2501
is documented in BranchHooks constructor. (Nam T. Nguyen, #102747)
2502
2503
* New ``Repository.stream_knit_data_for_revisions`` request added to the
2504
network protocol for greatly reduced roundtrips when retrieving a set of
2505
revisions. (Andrew Bennetts)
2506
2507
BUG FIXES:
2508
2509
* ``bzr plugins`` now lists the version number for each plugin in square
2510
brackets after the path. (Robert Collins, #125421)
2511
2512
* Pushing, pulling and branching branches with subtree references was not
2513
copying the subtree weave, preventing the file graph from being accessed
2514
and causing errors in commits in clones. (Robert Collins)
2515
2516
* Suppress warning "integer argument expected, got float" from Paramiko,
2517
which sometimes caused false test failures. (Martin Pool)
2518
2519
* Fix bug in bundle 4 that could cause attempts to write data to wrong
2520
versionedfile. (Aaron Bentley)
2521
2522
* Diffs generated using "diff -p" no longer break the patch parser.
2523
(Aaron Bentley)
2524
2525
* get_transport treats an empty possible_transports list the same as a non-
2526
empty one. (Aaron Bentley)
2527
2528
* patch verification for merge directives is reactivated, and works with
2529
CRLF and CR files. (Aaron Bentley)
2530
2531
* Accept ..\ as a path in revision specifiers. This fixes for example
2532
"-r branch:..\other-branch" on Windows. (Lukáš Lalinský)
2533
2534
* ``BZR_PLUGIN_PATH`` may now contain trailing slashes.
2535
(Blake Winton, #129299)
2536
2537
* man page no longer lists hidden options (#131667, Aaron Bentley)
2538
2539
* ``uncommit --help`` now explains the -r option adequately. (Daniel
2540
Watkins, #106726)
2541
2542
* Error messages are now better formatted with parameters (such as
2543
filenames) quoted when necessary. This avoids confusion when directory
2544
names ending in a '.' at the end of messages were confused with a
2545
full stop that may or not have been there. (Daniel Watkins, #129791)
2546
2547
* Fix ``status FILE -r X..Y``. (Lukáš Lalinský)
2548
2549
* If a particular command is an alias, ``help`` will show the alias
2550
instead of claiming there is no help for said alias. (Daniel Watkins,
2551
#133548)
2552
2553
* TreeTransform-based operations, like pull, merge, revert, and branch,
2554
now roll back if they encounter an error. (Aaron Bentley, #67699)
2555
2556
* ``bzr commit`` now exits cleanly if a character unsupported by the
2557
current encoding is used in the commit message. (Daniel Watkins,
2558
#116143)
2559
2560
* bzr send uses default values for ranges when only half of an elipsis
2561
is specified ("-r..5" or "-r5.."). (#61685, Aaron Bentley)
2562
2563
* Avoid trouble when Windows ssh calls itself 'plink' but no plink
2564
binary is present. (Martin Albisetti, #107155)
2565
2566
* ``bzr remove`` should remove clean subtrees. Now it will remove (without
2567
needing ``--force``) subtrees that contain no files with text changes or
2568
modified files. With ``--force`` it removes the subtree regardless of
2569
text changes or unknown files. Directories with renames in or out (but
2570
not changed otherwise) will now be removed without needing ``--force``.
2571
Unknown ignored files will be deleted without needing ``--force``.
2572
(Marius Kruger, #111665)
2573
2574
* When two plugins conflict, the source of both the losing and now the
2575
winning definition is shown. (Konstantin Mikhaylov, #5454)
2576
2577
* When committing to a branch, the location being committed to is
2578
displayed. (Daniel Watkins, #52479)
2579
2580
* ``bzr --version`` takes care about encoding of stdout, especially
2581
when output is redirected. (Alexander Belchenko, #131100)
2582
2583
* Prompt for an ftp password if none is provided.
2584
(Vincent Ladeuil, #137044)
2585
2586
* Reuse bound branch associated transport to avoid multiple
2587
connections.
2588
(Vincent Ladeuil, #128076, #131396)
2589
2590
* Overwrite conflicting tags by ``push`` and ``pull`` if the
2591
``--overwrite`` option is specified. (Lukáš Lalinský, #93947)
2592
2593
* In checkouts, tags are copied into the master branch when created,
2594
changed or deleted, and are copied into the checkout when it is
2595
updated. (Martin Pool, #93856, #93860)
2596
2597
* Print a warning instead of aborting the ``python setup.py install``
2598
process if building of a C extension is not possible.
2599
(Lukáš Lalinský, Alexander Belchenko)
2600
2601
IMPROVEMENTS:
2602
2603
* Add the option "--show-diff" to the commit command in order to display
2604
the diff during the commit log creation. (Goffredo Baroncelli)
2605
2606
* ``pull`` and ``merge`` are much faster at installing bundle format 4.
2607
(Aaron Bentley)
2608
2609
* ``pull -v`` no longer includes deltas, making it much faster.
2610
(Aaron Bentley)
2611
2612
* ``send`` now sends the directive as an attachment by default.
2613
(Aaron Bentley, Lukáš Lalinský, Alexander Belchenko)
2614
2615
* Documentation updates (Martin Albisetti)
2616
2617
* Help on debug flags is now included in ``help global-options``.
2618
(Daniel Watkins, #124853)
2619
2620
* Parameters passed on the command line are checked to ensure they are
2621
supported by the encoding in use. (Daniel Watkins)
2622
2623
* The compression used within the bzr repository has changed from zlib
2624
level 9 to the zlib default level. This improves commit performance with
2625
only a small increase in space used (and in some cases a reduction in
2626
space). (Robert Collins)
2627
2628
* Initial commit no longer SHAs files twice and now reuses the path
2629
rather than looking it up again, making it faster.
2630
(Ian Clatworthy)
2631
2632
* New option ``-c``/``--change`` for ``diff`` and ``status`` to show
2633
changes in one revision. (Lukáš Lalinský)
2634
2635
* If versioned files match a given ignore pattern, a warning is now
2636
given. (Daniel Watkins, #48623)
2637
2638
* ``bzr status`` now has -S as a short name for --short and -V as a
2639
short name for --versioned. These have been added to assist users
2640
migrating from Subversion: ``bzr status -SV`` is now like
2641
``svn status -q``. (Daniel Watkins, #115990)
2642
2643
* Added C implementation of ``PatienceSequenceMatcher``, which is about
2644
10x faster than the Python version. This speeds up commands that
2645
need file diffing, such as ``bzr commit`` or ``bzr diff``.
2646
(Lukáš Lalinský)
2647
2648
* HACKING has been extended with a large section on core developer tasks.
2649
(Ian Clatworthy)
2650
2651
* Add ``branches`` and ``standalone-trees`` as online help topics and
2652
include them as Concepts within the User Reference.
2653
(Paul Moore, Ian Clatworthy)
2654
2655
* ``check`` can detect versionedfile parent references that are
2656
inconsistent with revision and inventory info, and ``reconcile`` can fix
2657
them. These faulty references were generated by 0.8-era releases,
2658
so repositories which were manipulated by old bzrs should be
2659
checked, and possibly reconciled ASAP. (Aaron Bentley, Andrew Bennetts)
2660
2661
API BREAKS:
2662
2663
* ``Branch.append_revision`` is removed altogether; please use
2664
``Branch.set_last_revision_info`` instead. (Martin Pool)
2665
2666
* CommitBuilder now advertises itself as requiring the root entry to be
2667
supplied. This only affects foreign repository implementations which reuse
2668
CommitBuilder directly and have changed record_entry_contents to require
2669
that the root not be supplied. This should be precisely zero plugins
2670
affected. (Robert Collins)
2671
2672
* The ``add_lines`` methods on ``VersionedFile`` implementations has changed
2673
its return value to include the sha1 and length of the inserted text. This
2674
allows the avoidance of double-sha1 calculations during commit.
2675
(Robert Collins)
2676
2677
* ``Transport.should_cache`` has been removed. It was not called in the
2678
previous release. (Martin Pool)
2679
2680
TESTING:
2681
2682
* Tests may now raise TestNotApplicable to indicate they shouldn't be
2683
run in a particular scenario. (Martin Pool)
2684
2685
* New function multiply_tests_from_modules to give a simpler interface
2686
to test parameterization. (Martin Pool, Robert Collins)
2687
2688
* ``Transport.should_cache`` has been removed. It was not called in the
2689
previous release. (Martin Pool)
2690
2691
* NULL_REVISION is returned to indicate the null revision, not None.
2692
(Aaron Bentley)
2693
2694
* Use UTF-8 encoded StringIO for log tests to avoid failures on
2695
non-ASCII committer names. (Lukáš Lalinský)
2696
2697
INTERNALS:
2698
2699
* ``bzrlib.plugin.all_plugins`` has been deprecated in favour of
2700
``bzrlib.plugin.plugins()`` which returns PlugIn objects that provide
2701
useful functionality for determining the path of a plugin, its tests, and
2702
its version information. (Robert Collins)
2703
2704
* Add the option user_encoding to the function 'show_diff_trees()'
2705
in order to move the user encoding at the UI level. (Goffredo Baroncelli)
2706
2707
* Add the function make_commit_message_template_encoded() and the function
2708
edit_commit_message_encoded() which handle encoded strings.
2709
This is done in order to mix the commit messages (which is a unicode
2710
string), and the diff which is a raw string. (Goffredo Baroncelli)
2711
2712
* CommitBuilder now defaults to using add_lines_with_ghosts, reducing
2713
overhead on non-weave repositories which don't require all parents to be
2714
present. (Robert Collins)
2715
2716
* Deprecated method ``find_previous_heads`` on
2717
``bzrlib.inventory.InventoryEntry``. This has been superseded by the use
2718
of ``parent_candidates`` and a separate heads check via the repository
2719
API. (Robert Collins)
2720
2721
* New trace function ``mutter_callsite`` will print out a subset of the
2722
stack to the log, which can be useful for gathering debug details.
2723
(Robert Collins)
2724
2725
* ``bzrlib.pack.ContainerWriter`` now tracks how many records have been
2726
added via a public attribute records_written. (Robert Collins)
2727
2728
* New method ``bzrlib.transport.Transport.get_recommended_page_size``.
2729
This provides a hint to users of transports as to the reasonable
2730
minimum data to read. In principle this can take latency and
2731
bandwidth into account on a per-connection basis, but for now it
2732
just has hard coded values based on the url. (e.g. http:// has a large
2733
page size, file:// has a small one.) (Robert Collins)
2734
2735
* New method on ``bzrlib.transport.Transport`` ``open_write_stream`` allows
2736
incremental addition of data to a file without requiring that all the
2737
data be buffered in memory. (Robert Collins)
2738
2739
* New methods on ``bzrlib.knit.KnitVersionedFile``:
2740
``get_data_stream(versions)``, ``insert_data_stream(stream)`` and
2741
``get_format_signature()``. These provide some infrastructure for
2742
efficiently streaming the knit data for a set of versions over the smart
2743
protocol.
2744
2745
* Knits with no annotation cache still produce correct annotations.
2746
(Aaron Bentley)
2747
2748
* Three new methods have been added to ``bzrlib.trace``:
2749
``set_verbosity_level``, ``get_verbosity_level`` and ``is_verbose``.
2750
``set_verbosity_level`` expects a numeric value: negative for quiet,
2751
zero for normal, positive for verbose. The size of the number can be
2752
used to determine just how quiet or verbose the application should be.
2753
The existing ``be_quiet`` and ``is_quiet`` routines have been
2754
integrated into this new scheme. (Ian Clatworthy)
2755
2756
* Options can now be delcared with a ``custom_callback`` parameter. If
2757
set, this routine is called after the option is processed. This feature
2758
is now used by the standard options ``verbose`` and ``quiet`` so that
2759
setting one implicitly resets the other. (Ian Clatworthy)
2760
2761
* Rather than declaring a new option from scratch in order to provide
2762
custom help, a centrally registered option can be decorated using the
2763
new ``bzrlib.Option.custom_help`` routine. In particular, this routine
2764
is useful when declaring better help for the ``verbose`` and ``quiet``
2765
standard options as the base definition of these is now more complex
2766
than before thanks to their use of a custom callback. (Ian Clatworthy)
2767
2768
* Tree._iter_changes(specific_file=[]) now iterates through no files,
2769
instead of iterating through all files. None is used to iterate through
2770
all files. (Aaron Bentley)
2771
2772
* WorkingTree.revert() now accepts None to revert all files. The use of
2773
[] to revert all files is deprecated. (Aaron Bentley)

2778
2779
IMPROVEMENTS:
2780
2781
* Documentation is now organized into multiple directories with a level
2782
added for different languages or locales. Added the Mini Tutorial
2783
and Quick Start Summary (en) documents from the Wiki, improving the
2784
content and readability of the former. Formatted NEWS as Release Notes
2785
complete with a Table of Conents, one heading per release. Moved the
2786
Developer Guide into the main document catalog and provided a link
2787
from the developer document catalog back to the main one.

API CHANGES:
2792
2793
* The static convenience method ``BzrDir.create_repository``
2794
is deprecated. Callers should instead create a ``BzrDir`` instance
2795
and call ``create_repository`` on that. (Martin Pool)

BUGFIXES:
2802
2803
* ``bzr init`` should connect to the remote location one time only. We
2804
have been connecting several times because we forget to pass around the
2805
Transport object. This modifies ``BzrDir.create_branch_convenience``,
2806
so that we can give it the Transport we already have.
2807
(John Arbash Meinel, Vincent Ladeuil, #111702)
2808
2809
* Get rid of sftp connection cache (get rid of the FTP one too).
2810
(Vincent Ladeuil, #43731)
2811
2812
* bzr branch {local|remote} remote don't try to create a working tree
2813
anymore.
2814
(Vincent Ladeuil, #112173)
2815
2816
* All identified multiple connections for a single bzr command have been
2817
fixed. See bzrlib/tests/commands directory.
2818
(Vincent Ladeuil)
2819
2820
* ``bzr rm`` now does not insist on ``--force`` to delete files that
2821
have been renamed but not otherwise modified. (Marius Kruger,
2822
#111664)
2823
2824
* ``bzr selftest --bench`` no longer emits deprecation warnings
2825
(Lukáš Lalinský)
2826
2827
* ``bzr status`` now honours FILE parameters for conflict lists
2828
(Aaron Bentley, #127606)
2829
2830
* ``bzr checkout`` now honours -r when reconstituting a working tree.
2831
It also honours -r 0. (Aaron Bentley, #127708)
2832
2833
* ``bzr add *`` no more fails on Windows if working tree contains
2834
non-ascii file names. (Kuno Meyer, #127361)
2835
2836
* allow ``easy_install bzr`` runs without fatal errors.
2837
(Alexander Belchenko, #125521)
2838
2839
* Graph._filter_candidate_lca does not raise KeyError if a candidate
2840
is eliminated just before it would normally be examined. (Aaron Bentley)
2841
2842
* SMTP connection failures produce a nice message, not a traceback.
2843
(Aaron Bentley)
2844
2845
IMPROVEMENTS:
2846
2847
* Don't show "dots" progress indicators when run non-interactively, such
2848
as from cron. (Martin Pool)
2849
2850
* ``info`` now formats locations more nicely and lists "submit" and
2851
"public" branches (Aaron Bentley)
2852
2853
* New ``pack`` command that will trigger database compression within
2854
the repository (Robert Collins)
2855
2856
* Implement ``_KnitIndex._load_data`` in a pyrex extension. The pyrex
2857
version is approximately 2-3x faster at parsing a ``.kndx`` file.
2858
Which yields a measurable improvement for commands which have to
2859
read from the repository, such as a 1s => 0.75s improvement in
2860
``bzr diff`` when there are changes to be shown. (John Arbash Meinel)
2861
2862
* Merge is now faster. Depending on the scenario, it can be more than 2x
2863
faster. (Aaron Bentley)
2864
2865
* Give a clearer warning, and allow ``python setup.py install`` to
2866
succeed even if pyrex is not available.
2867
(John Arbash Meinel)
2868
2869
* ``DirState._read_dirblocks`` now has an optional Pyrex
2870
implementation. This improves the speed of any command that has to
2871
read the entire DirState. (``diff``, ``status``, etc, improve by
2872
about 10%).
2873
``bisect_dirblocks`` has also been improved, which helps all
2874
``_get_entry`` type calls (whenever we are searching for a
2875
particular entry in the in-memory DirState).
2876
(John Arbash Meinel)
2877
2878
* ``bzr pull`` and ``bzr push`` no longer do a complete walk of the
2879
branch revision history for ui display unless -v is supplied.
2880
(Robert Collins)
2881
2882
* ``bzr log -rA..B`` output shifted to the left margin if the log only
2883
contains merge revisions. (Kent Gibson)
2884
2885
* The ``plugins`` command is now public with improved help.
2886
(Ian Clatworthy)
2887
2888
* New bundle and merge directive formats are faster to generate, and
2889
2890
* Annotate merge now works when there are local changes. (Aaron Bentley)
2891
2892
* Commit now only shows the progress in terms of directories instead of
2893
entries. (Ian Clatworthy)
2894
2895
* Fix ``KnitRepository.get_revision_graph`` to not request the graph 2
2896
times. This makes ``get_revision_graph`` 2x faster. (John Arbash
2897
Meinel)
2898
2899
* Fix ``VersionedFile.get_graph()`` to avoid using
2900
``set.difference_update(other)``, which has bad scaling when
2901
``other`` is large. This improves ``VF.get_graph([version_id])`` for
2902
a 12.5k graph from 2.9s down to 200ms. (John Arbash Meinel)
2903
2904
* The ``--lsprof-file`` option now generates output for KCacheGrind if
2905
the file starts with ``callgrind.out``. This matches the default file
2906
filtering done by KCacheGrind's Open Dialog. (Ian Clatworthy)
2907
2908
* Fix ``bzr update`` to avoid an unnecessary
2909
``branch.get_master_branch`` call, which avoids 1 extra connection
2910
to the remote server. (Partial fix for #128076, John Arbash Meinel)
2911
2912
* Log errors from the smart server in the trace file, to make debugging
2913
test failures (and live failures!) easier. (Andrew Bennetts)
2914
2915
* The HTML version of the man page has been superceded by a more
2916
comprehensive manual called the Bazaar User Reference. This manual
2917
is completed generated from the online help topics. As part of this
2918
change, limited reStructuredText is now explicitly supported in help
2919
topics and command help with 'unnatural' markup being removed prior
2920
to display by the online help or inclusion in the man page.
2921
(Ian Clatworthy)
2922
2923
* HTML documentation now use files extension ``*.html``
2924
(Alexander Belchenko)
2925
2926
* The cache of ignore definitions is now cleared in WorkingTree.unlock()
2927
so that changes to .bzrignore aren't missed. (#129694, Daniel Watkins)
2928
2929
* ``bzr selftest --strict`` fails if there are any missing features or
2930
expected test failures. (Daniel Watkins, #111914)
2931
2932
* Link to registration survey added to README. (Ian Clatworthy)
2933
2934
* Windows standalone installer show link to registration survey
2935
when installation finished. (Alexander Belchenko)
2936
2937
LIBRARY API BREAKS:
2938
2939
* Deprecated dictionary ``bzrlib.option.SHORT_OPTIONS`` removed.
2940
Options are now required to provide a help string and it must
2941
comply with the style guide by being one or more sentences with an
2942
initial capital and final period. (Martin Pool)
2943
2944
* KnitIndex.get_parents now returns tuples. (Robert Collins)
2945
2946
* Ancient unused ``Repository.text_store`` attribute has been removed.
2947
(Robert Collins)
2948
2949
* The ``bzrlib.pack`` interface has changed to use tuples of bytestrings
2950
rather than just bytestrings, making it easier to represent multiple
2951
element names. As this interface was not used by any internal facilities
2952
since it was introduced in 0.18 no API compatibility is being preserved.
2953
The serialised form of these packs is identical with 0.18 when a single
2954
element tuple is in use. (Robert Collins)
2955
2956
INTERNALS:
2957
2958
* merge now uses ``iter_changes`` to calculate changes, which makes room for
2959
future performance increases. It is also more consistent with other
2960
operations that perform comparisons, and reduces reliance on
2961
Tree.inventory. (Aaron Bentley)
2962
2963
* Refactoring of transport classes connected to a remote server.
2964
ConnectedTransport is a new class that serves as a basis for all
2965
transports needing to connect to a remote server. transport.split_url
2966
have been deprecated, use the static method on the object instead. URL
2967
tests have been refactored too.
2968
(Vincent Ladeuil)
2969
2970
* Better connection sharing for ConnectedTransport objects.
2971
transport.get_transport() now accepts a 'possible_transports' parameter.
2972
If a newly requested transport can share a connection with one of the
2973
list, it will.
2974
(Vincent Ladeuil)
2975
2976
* Most functions now accept ``bzrlib.revision.NULL_REVISION`` to indicate
2977
the null revision, and consider using ``None`` for this purpose
2978
deprecated. (Aaron Bentley)
2979
2980
* New ``index`` module with abstract index functionality. This will be
2981
used during the planned changes in the repository layer. Currently the
2982
index layer provides a graph aware immutable index, a builder for the
2983
same index type to allow creating them, and finally a composer for
2984
such indices to allow the use of many indices in a single query. The
2985
index performance is not optimised, however the API is stable to allow
2986
development on top of the index. (Robert Collins)
2987
2988
* ``bzrlib.dirstate.cmp_by_dirs`` can be used to compare two paths by
2989
their directory sections. This is equivalent to comparing
2990
``path.split('/')``, only without having to split the paths.
2991
This has a Pyrex implementation available.
2992
(John Arbash Meinel)
2993
2994
* New transport decorator 'unlistable+' which disables the list_dir
2995
functionality for testing.
2996
2997
* Deprecated ``change_entry`` in transform.py. (Ian Clatworthy)
2998
2999
* RevisionTree.get_weave is now deprecated. Tree.plan_merge is now used
3000
for performing annotate-merge. (Aaron Bentley)
3001
3002
* New EmailMessage class to create email messages. (Adeodato Simó)
3003
3004
* Unused functions on the private interface KnitIndex have been removed.
3005
(Robert Collins)
3006
3007
* New ``knit.KnitGraphIndex`` which provides a ``KnitIndex`` layered on top
3008
of a ``index.GraphIndex``. (Robert Collins)
3009
3010
* New ``knit.KnitVersionedFile.iter_parents`` method that allows querying
3011
the parents of many knit nodes at once, reducing round trips to the
3012
underlying index. (Robert Collins)
3013
3014
* Graph now has an is_ancestor method, various bits use it.
3015
(Aaron Bentley)
3016
3017
* The ``-Dhpss`` flag now includes timing information. As well as
3018
logging when a new connection is opened. (John Arbash Meinel)
3019
3020
* ``bzrlib.pack.ContainerWriter`` now returns an offset, length tuple to
3021
callers when inserting data, allowing generation of readv style access
3022
during pack creation, without needing a separate pass across the output
3023
pack to gather such details. (Robert Collins)
3024
3025
* ``bzrlib.pack.make_readv_reader`` allows readv based access to pack
3026
files that are stored on a transport. (Robert Collins)
3027
3028
* New ``Repository.has_same_location`` method that reports if two
3029
repository objects refer to the same repository (although with some risk
3030
of false negatives). (Andrew Bennetts)
3031
3032
* InterTree.compare now passes require_versioned on correctly.
3033
(Marius Kruger)
3034
3035
* New methods on Repository - ``start_write_group``,
3036
``commit_write_group``, ``abort_write_group`` and ``is_in_write_group`` -
3037
which provide a clean hook point for transactional Repositories - ones
3038
where all the data for a fetch or commit needs to be made atomically
3039
available in one step. This allows the write lock to remain while making
3040
a series of data insertions. (e.g. data conversion). (Robert Collins)
3041
3042
* In ``bzrlib.knit`` the internal interface has been altered to use
3043
3-tuples (index, pos, length) rather than two-tuples (pos, length) to
3044
describe where data in a knit is, allowing knits to be split into
3045
many files. (Robert Collins)
3046
3047
* ``bzrlib.knit._KnitData`` split into cache management and physical access
3048
with two access classes - ``_PackAccess`` and ``_KnitAccess`` defined.
3049
The former provides access into a .pack file, and the latter provides the
3050
current production repository form of .knit files. (Robert Collins)
3051
3052
TESTING:
3053
3054
* Remove selftest ``--clean-output``, ``--numbered-dirs`` and
3055
``--keep-output`` options, which are obsolete now that tests
3056
are done within directories in $TMPDIR. (Martin Pool)
3057
3058
* The SSH_AUTH_SOCK environment variable is now reset to avoid
3059
interaction with any running ssh agents. (Jelmer Vernooij, #125955)
3060
3061
* run_bzr_subprocess handles parameters the same way as run_bzr:
3062
either a string or a list of strings should be passed as the first
3063
parameter. Varargs-style parameters are deprecated. (Aaron Bentley)

BUGFIXES:
3070
3071
* Fix 'bzr add' crash under Win32 (Kuno Meyer)

-----------------------
3076
3077
BUGFIXES:
3078
3079
* Do not suppress pipe errors, etc. in non-display commands
3080
(Alexander Belchenko, #87178)
3081
3082
* Display a useful error message when the user requests to annotate
3083
a file that is not present in the specified revision.
3084
(James Westby, #122656)
3085
3086
* Commands that use status flags now have a reference to 'help
3087
status-flags'. (Daniel Watkins, #113436)
3088
3089
* Work around python-2.4.1 inhability to correctly parse the
3090
authentication header.
3091
(Vincent Ladeuil, #121889)
3092
3093
* Use exact encoding for merge directives. (Adeodato Simó, #120591)
3094
3095
* Fix tempfile permissions error in smart server tar bundling under
3096
Windows. (Martin _, #119330)
3097
3098
* Fix detection of directory entries in the inventory. (James Westby)
3099
3100
* Fix handling of http code 400: Bad Request When issuing too many ranges.
3101
(Vincent Ladeuil, #115209)
3102
3103
* Issue a CONNECT request when connecting to an https server
3104
via a proxy to enable SSL tunneling.
3105
(Vincent Ladeuil, #120678)
3106
3107
* Fix ``bzr log -r`` to support selecting merge revisions, both
3108
individually and as part of revision ranges.
3109
(Kent Gibson, #4663)
3110
3111
* Don't leave cruft behind when failing to acquire a lockdir.
3112
(Martin Pool, #109169)
3113
3114
* Don't use the '-f' strace option during tests.
3115
(Vincent Ladeuil, #102019).
3116
3117
* Warn when setting ``push_location`` to a value that will be masked by
3118
locations.conf. (Aaron Bentley, #122286)
3119
3120
* Fix commit ordering in corner case (Aaron Bentley, #94975)
3121
3122
* Make annotate behave in a non-ASCII world (Adeodato Simó).
3123
3124
IMPROVEMENTS:
3125
3126
* The --lsprof-file option now dumps a text rendering of the profiling
3127
information if the filename ends in ".txt". It will also convert the
3128
profiling information to a format suitable for KCacheGrind if the
3129
output filename ends in ".callgrind". Fixes to the lsprofcalltree
3130
conversion process by Jean Paul Calderone and Itamar were also merged.
3131
See http://ddaa.net/blog/python/lsprof-calltree. (Ian Clatworthy)
3132
3133
* ``info`` now defaults to non-verbose mode, displaying only paths and
3134
abbreviated format info. ``info -v`` displays all the information
3135
formerly displayed by ``info``. (Aaron Bentley, Adeodato Simó)
3136
3137
* ``bzr missing`` now has better option names ``--this`` and ``--other``.
3138
(Elliot Murphy)
3139
3140
* The internal ``weave-list`` command has become ``versionedfile-list``,
3141
and now lists knits as well as weaves. (Aaron Bentley)
3142
3143
* Automatic merge base selection uses a faster algorithm that chooses
3144
better bases in criss-cross merge situations (Aaron Bentley)
3145
3146
* Progress reporting in ``commit`` has been improved. The various logical
3147
stages are now reported on as follows, namely:
3148
3149
* Collecting changes [Entry x/y] - Stage n/m
3150
* Saving data locally - Stage n/m
3151
* Uploading data to master branch - Stage n/m
3152
* Updating the working tree - Stage n/m
3153
* Running post commit hooks - Stage n/m
3154
3155
If there is no master branch, the 3rd stage is omitted and the total
3156
number of stages is adjusted accordingly.
3157
3158
Each hook that is run after commit is listed with a name (as hooks
3159
can be slow it is useful feedback).
3160
(Ian Clatworthy, Robert Collins)
3161
3162
* Various operations that are now faster due to avoiding unnecessary
3163
topological sorts. (Aaron Bentley)
3164
3165
* Make merge directives robust against broken bundles. (Aaron Bentley)
3166
3167
* The lsprof filename note is emitted via trace.note(), not standard
3168
output. (Aaron Bentley)
3169
3170
* ``bzrlib`` now exports explicit API compatibility information to assist
3171
library users and plugins. See the ``bzrlib.api`` module for details.
3172
(Robert Collins)
3173
3174
* Remove unnecessary lock probes when acquiring a lockdir.
3175
(Martin Pool)
3176
3177
* ``bzr --version`` now shows the location of the bzr log file, which
3178
is especially useful on Windows. (Martin Pool)
3179
3180
* -D now supports hooks to get debug tracing of hooks (though its currently
3181
minimal in nature). (Robert Collins)
3182
3183
* Long log format reports deltas on merge revisions.
3184
(John Arbash Meinel, Kent Gibson)
3185
3186
* Make initial push over ftp more resilient. (John Arbash Meinel)
3187
3188
* Print a summary of changes for update just like pull does.
3189
(Daniel Watkins, #113990)
3190
3191
* Add a -Dhpss option to trace smart protocol requests and responses.
3192
(Andrew Bennetts)
3193
3194
LIBRARY API BREAKS:
3195
3196
* Testing cleanups -
3197
``bzrlib.repository.RepositoryTestProviderAdapter`` has been moved
3198
to ``bzrlib.tests.repository_implementations``;
3199
``bzrlib.repository.InterRepositoryTestProviderAdapter`` has been moved
3200
to ``bzrlib.tests.interrepository_implementations``;
3201
``bzrlib.transport.TransportTestProviderAdapter`` has moved to
3202
``bzrlib.tests.test_transport_implementations``.
3203
``bzrlib.branch.BranchTestProviderAdapter`` has moved to
3204
``bzrlib.tests.branch_implementations``.
3205
``bzrlib.bzrdir.BzrDirTestProviderAdapter`` has moved to
3206
``bzrlib.tests.bzrdir_implementations``.
3207
``bzrlib.versionedfile.InterVersionedFileTestProviderAdapter`` has moved
3208
to ``bzrlib.tests.interversionedfile_implementations``.
3209
``bzrlib.store.revision.RevisionStoreTestProviderAdapter`` has moved to
3210
``bzrlib.tests.revisionstore_implementations``.
3211
``bzrlib.workingtree.WorkingTreeTestProviderAdapter`` has moved to
3212
``bzrlib.tests.workingtree_implementations``.
3213
These changes are an API break in the testing infrastructure only.
3214
(Robert Collins)
3215
3216
* Relocate TestCaseWithRepository to be more central. (Robert Collins)
3217
3218
* ``bzrlib.add.smart_add_tree`` will no longer perform glob expansion on
3219
win32. Callers of the function should do this and use the new
3220
``MutableTree.smart_add`` method instead. (Robert Collins)
3221
3222
* ``bzrlib.add.glob_expand_for_win32`` is now
3223
``bzrlib.win32utils.glob_expand``. (Robert Collins)
3224
3225
* ``bzrlib.add.FastPath`` is now private and moved to
3226
``bzrlib.mutabletree._FastPath``. (Robert Collins, Martin Pool)
3227
3228
* ``LockDir.wait`` removed. (Martin Pool)
3229
3230
* The ``SmartServer`` hooks API has changed for the ``server_started`` and
3231
``server_stopped`` hooks. The first parameter is now an iterable of
3232
backing URLs rather than a single URL. This is to reflect that many
3233
URLs may map to the external URL of the server. E.g. the server interally
3234
may have a chrooted URL but also the local file:// URL will be at the
3235
same location. (Robert Collins)
3236
3237
INTERNALS:
3238
3239
* New SMTPConnection class to unify email handling. (Adeodato Simó)
3240
3241
* Fix documentation of BzrError. (Adeodato Simó)
3242
3243
* Make BzrBadParameter an internal error. (Adeodato Simó)
3244
3245
* Remove use of 'assert False' to raise an exception unconditionally.
3246
(Martin Pool)
3247
3248
* Give a cleaner error when failing to decode knit index entry.
3249
(Martin Pool)
3250
3251
* TreeConfig would mistakenly search the top level when asked for options
3252
from a section. It now respects the section argument and only
3253
searches the specified section. (James Westby)
3254
3255
* Improve ``make api-docs`` output. (John Arbash Meinel)
3256
3257
* Use os.lstat rather than os.stat for osutils.make_readonly and
3258
osutils.make_writeable. This makes the difftools plugin more
3259
robust when dangling symlinks are found. (Elliot Murphy)
3260
3261
* New ``-Dlock`` option to log (to ~/.bzr.log) information on when
3262
lockdirs are taken or released. (Martin Pool)
3263
3264
* ``bzrlib`` Hooks are now nameable using ``Hooks.name_hook``. This
3265
allows a nicer UI when hooks are running as the current hook can
3266
be displayed. (Robert Collins)
3267
3268
* ``Transport.get`` has had its interface made more clear for ease of use.
3269
Retrieval of a directory must now fail with either 'PathError' at open
3270
time, or raise 'ReadError' on a read. (Robert Collins)
3271
3272
* New method ``_maybe_expand_globs`` on the ``Command`` class for
3273
dealing with unexpanded glob lists - e.g. on the win32 platform. This
3274
was moved from ``bzrlib.add._prepare_file_list``. (Robert Collins)
3275
3276
* ``bzrlib.add.smart_add`` and ``bzrlib.add.smart_add_tree`` are now
3277
deprecated in favour of ``MutableTree.smart_add``. (Robert Collins,
3278
Martin Pool)
3279
3280
* New method ``external_url`` on Transport for obtaining the url to
3281
hand to external processes. (Robert Collins)
3282
3283
* Teach windows installers to build pyrex/C extensions.
3284
(Alexander Belchenko)
3285
3286
TESTING:
3287
3288
* Removed the ``--keep-output`` option from selftest and clean up test
3289
directories as they're used. This reduces the IO load from
3290
running the test suite and cuts the time by about half.
3291
(Andrew Bennetts, Martin Pool)
3292
3293
* Add scenarios as a public attribute on the TestAdapter classes to allow
3294
modification of the generated scenarios before adaption and easier
3295
testing. (Robert Collins)
3296
3297
* New testing support class ``TestScenarioApplier`` which multiplies
3298
out a single teste by a list of supplied scenarios. (RobertCollins)
3299
3300
* Setting ``repository_to_test_repository`` on a repository_implementations
3301
test will cause it to be called during repository creation, allowing the
3302
testing of repository classes which are not based around the Format
3303
concept. For example a repository adapter can be tested in this manner,
3304
by altering the repository scenarios to include a scenario that sets this
3305
attribute during the test parameterisation in
3306
``bzrlib.tests.repository.repository_implementations``. (Robert Collins)
3307
3308
* Clean up many of the APIs for blackbox testing of Bazaar. The standard
3309
interface is now self.run_bzr. The command to run can be passed as
3310
either a list of parameters, a string containing the command line, or
3311
(deprecated) varargs parameters. (Martin Pool)
3312
3313
* The base TestCase now isolates tests from -D parameters by clearing
3314
``debug.debug_flags`` and restores it afterwards. (Robert Collins)
3315
3316
* Add a relpath parameter to get_transport methods in test framework to
3317
avoid useless cloning.

3336
NOTES WHEN UPGRADING:
3337
3338
* The kind() and is_executable() APIs on the WorkingTree interface no
3339
longer implicitly (read) locks and unlocks the tree. This *might*
3340
impact some plug-ins and tools using this part of the API. If you find
3341
an issue that may be caused by this change, please let us know,
3342
particularly the plug-in/tool maintainer. If encountered, the API
3343
fix is to surround kind() and is_executable() calls with lock_read()
3344
and unlock() like so::
3345
3346
work_tree.lock_read()
3347
try:
3348
kind = work_tree.kind(...)
3349
finally:
3350
work_tree.unlock()
3351
3352
INTERNALS:
3353
* Rework of LogFormatter API to provide beginning/end of log hooks and to
3354
encapsulate the details of the revision to be logged in a LogRevision
3355
object.
3356
In long log formats, merge revision ids are only shown when --show-ids
3357
is specified, and are labelled "revision-id:", as per mainline
3358
revisions, instead of "merged:". (Kent Gibson)
3359
3360
* New ``BranchBuilder`` API which allows the construction of particular
3361
histories quickly. Useful for testing and potentially other applications
3362
too. (Robert Collins)
3363
3364
IMPROVEMENTS:
3365
3366
* There are two new help topics, working-trees and repositories that
3367
attempt to explain these concepts. (James Westby, John Arbash Meinel,
3368
Aaron Bentley)
3369
3370
* Added ``bzr log --limit`` to report a limited number of revisions.
3371
(Kent Gibson, #3659)
3372
3373
* Revert does not try to preserve file contents that were originally
3374
produced by reverting to a historical revision. (Aaron Bentley)
3375
3376
* ``bzr log --short`` now includes ``[merge]`` for revisions which
3377
have more than one parent. This is a small improvement to help
3378
understanding what changes have occurred
3379
(John Arbash Meinel, #83887)
3380
3381
* TreeTransform avoids many renames when contructing large trees,
3382
improving speed. 3.25x speedups have been observed for construction of
3383
kernel-sized-trees, and checkouts are 1.28x faster. (Aaron Bentley)
3384
3385
* Commit on large trees is now faster. In my environment, a commit of
3386
a small change to the Mozilla tree (55k files) has dropped from
3387
66 seconds to 32 seconds. For a small tree of 600 files, commit of a
3388
small change is 33% faster. (Ian Clatworthy)
3389
3390
* New --create-prefix option to bzr init, like for push. (Daniel Watkins,
3391
#56322)
3392
3393
BUGFIXES:
3394
3395
* ``bzr push`` should only connect to the remote location one time.
3396
We have been connecting 3 times because we forget to pass around
3397
the Transport object. This adds ``BzrDir.clone_on_transport()``, so
3398
that we can pass in the Transport that we already have.
3399
(John Arbash Meinel, #75721)
3400
3401
* ``DirState.set_state_from_inventory()`` needs to properly order
3402
based on split paths, not just string paths.
3403
(John Arbash Meinel, #115947)
3404
3405
* Let TestUIFactoy encode the password prompt with its own stdout.
3406
(Vincent Ladeuil, #110204)
3407
3408
* pycurl should take use the range header that takes the range hint
3409
into account.
3410
(Vincent Ladeuil, #112719)
3411
3412
* WorkingTree4.get_file_sha1 no longer raises an exception when invoked
3413
on a missing file. (Aaron Bentley, #118186)
3414
3415
* WorkingTree.remove works correctly with tree references, and when pwd is
3416
not the tree root. (Aaron Bentley)
3417
3418
* Merge no longer fails when a file is renamed in one tree and deleted
3419
in the other. (Aaron Bentley, #110279)
3420
3421
* ``revision-info`` now accepts dotted revnos, doesn't require a tree,
3422
and defaults to the last revision (Matthew Fuller, #90048)
3423
3424
* Tests no longer fail when BZR_REMOTE_PATH is set in the environment.
3425
(Daniel Watkins, #111958)
3426
3427
* ``bzr branch -r revid:foo`` can be used to branch any revision in
3428
your repository. (Previously Branch6 only supported revisions in your
3429
mainline). (John Arbash Meinel, #115343)

3432
--------------------
3433
3434
BUGFIXES:
3435
3436
* Handle when you have 2 directories with similar names, but one has a
3437
hyphen. (``'abc'`` versus ``'abc-2'``). The WT4._iter_changes
3438
iterator was using direct comparison and ``'abc/a'`` sorts after
3439
``'abc-2'``, but ``('abc', 'a')`` sorts before ``('abc-2',)``.
3440
(John Arbash Meinel, #111227)
3441
3442
* Handle when someone renames a file on disk without telling bzr.
3443
Previously we would report the first file as missing, but not show
3444
the new unknown file. (John Arbash Meinel, #111288)
3445
3446
* Avoid error when running hooks after pulling into or pushing from
3447
a branch bound to a smartserver branch. (Martin Pool, #111968)
3448
3449
IMPROVEMENTS:
3450
3451
* Move developer documentation to doc/developers/. This reduces clutter in
3452
the root of the source tree and allows HACKING to be split into multiple
3453
files. (Robert Collins, Alexander Belchenko)
3454
3455
* Clean up the ``WorkingTree4._iter_changes()`` internal loops as well as
3456
``DirState.update_entry()``. This optimizes the core logic for ``bzr
3457
diff`` and ``bzr status`` significantly improving the speed of
3458
both. (John Arbash Meinel)

BUGFIXES:
3464
3465
* Handle the case when you delete a file, and then rename another file
3466
on top of it. Also handle the case of ``bzr rm --keep foo``. ``bzr
3467
status`` should show the removed file and an unknown file in its
3468
place. (John Arbash Meinel, #109993)
3469
3470
* Bundles properly read and write revision properties that have an
3471
empty value. And when the value is not ASCII.
3472
(John Arbash Meinel, #109613)
3473
3474
* Fix the bzr commit message to be in text mode.
3475
(Alexander Belchenko, #110901)

* Also handle when you rename a file and create a file where it used
3478
to be. (John Arbash Meinel, #110256)
3479
3480
* ``WorkingTree4._iter_changes`` should not descend into unversioned

3484
-----------------------
3485
3486
NOTES WHEN UPGRADING:
3487
3488
* ``bzr remove`` and ``bzr rm`` will now remove the working file, if
3489
it could be recovered again.
3490
This has been done for consistency with svn and the unix rm command.
3491
The old ``remove`` behaviour has been retained in the new option
3492
``bzr remove --keep``, which will just stop versioning the file,
3493
but not delete it.
3494
``bzr remove --force`` have been added which will always delete the
3495
files.
3496
``bzr remove`` is also more verbose.
3497
(Marius Kruger, #82602)
3498
3499
IMPROVEMENTS:
3500
3501
* Merge directives can now be supplied as input to `merge` and `pull`,
3502
like bundles can. (Aaron Bentley)
3503
3504
* Sending the SIGQUIT signal to bzr, which can be done on Unix by
3505
pressing Control-Backslash, drops bzr into a debugger. Type ``'c'``
3506
to continue. This can be disabled by setting the environment variable
3507
``BZR_SIGQUIT_PDB=0``. (Martin Pool)
3508
3509
* selftest now supports --list-only to list tests instead of running
3510
them. (Ian Clatworthy)
3511
3512
* selftest now supports --exclude PATTERN (or -x PATTERN) to exclude
3513
tests with names that match that regular expression.
3514
(Ian Clatworthy, #102679)
3515
3516
* selftest now supports --randomize SEED to run tests in a random order.
3517
SEED is typically the value 'now' meaning 'use the current time'.
3518
(Ian Clatworthy, #102686)
3519
3520
* New option ``--fixes`` to commit, which stores bug fixing annotations as
3521
revision properties. Built-in support for Launchpad, Debian, Trac and
3522
Bugzilla bug trackers. (Jonathan Lange, James Henstridge, Robert Collins)
3523
3524
* New API, ``bzrlib.bugtracker.tracker_registry``, for adding support for
3525
other bug trackers to ``fixes``. (Jonathan Lange, James Henstridge,
3526
Robert Collins)
3527
3528
* ``selftest`` has new short options ``-f`` and ``-1``. (Martin
3529
Pool)
3530
3531
* ``bzrlib.tsort.MergeSorter`` optimizations. Change the inner loop
3532
into using local variables instead of going through ``self._var``.
3533
Improves the time to ``merge_sort`` a 10k revision graph by
3534
approximately 40% (~700->400ms). (John Arbash Meinel)
3535
3536
* ``make docs`` now creates a man page at ``man1/bzr.1`` fixing bug 107388.
3537
(Robert Collins)
3538
3539
* ``bzr help`` now provides cross references to other help topics using
3540
the _see_also facility on command classes. Likewise the bzr_man
3541
documentation, and the bzr.1 man page also include this information.
3542
(Robert Collins)
3543
3544
* Tags are now included in logs, that use the long log formatter.
3545
(Erik Bågfors, Alexander Belchenko)
3546
3547
* ``bzr help`` provides a clearer message when a help topic cannot be
3548
found. (Robert Collins, #107656)
3549
3550
* ``bzr help`` now accepts optional prefixes for command help. The help
3551
for all commands can now be found at ``bzr help commands/COMMANDNAME``
3552
as well as ``bzr help COMMANDNAME`` (which only works for commands
3553
where the name is not the same as a more general help topic).
3554
(Robert Collins)
3555
3556
* ``bzr help PLUGINNAME`` will now return the module docstring from the
3557
plugin PLUGINNAME. (Robert Collins, #50408)
3558
3559
* New help topic ``urlspec`` which lists the availables transports.
3560
(Goffredo Baroncelli)
3561
3562
* doc/server.txt updated to document the default bzr:// port
3563
and also update the blurb about the hpss' current status.
3564
(Robert Collins, #107125).
3565
3566
* ``bzr serve`` now listens on interface 0.0.0.0 by default, making it
3567
serve out to the local LAN (and anyone in the world that can reach the
3568
machine running ``bzr serve``. (Robert Collins, #98918)
3569
3570
* A new smart server protocol version has been added. It prefixes requests
3571
and responses with an explicit version identifier so that future protocol
3572
revisions can be dealt with gracefully. (Andrew Bennetts, Robert Collins)
3573
3574
* The bzr protocol version 2 indicates success or failure in every response
3575
without depending on particular commands encoding that consistently,
3576
allowing future client refactorings to be much more robust about error
3577
handling. (Robert Collins, Martin Pool, Andrew Bennetts)
3578
3579
* The smart protocol over HTTP client has been changed to always post to the
3580
same ``.bzr/smart`` URL under the original location when it can. This allows
3581
HTTP servers to only have to pass URLs ending in .bzr/smart to the smart
3582
server handler, and not arbitrary ``.bzr/*/smart`` URLs. (Andrew Bennetts)
3583
3584
* digest authentication is now supported for proxies and HTTP by the urllib
3585
based http implementation. Tested against Apache 2.0.55 and Squid
3586
2.6.5. Basic and digest authentication are handled coherently for HTTP
3587
and proxy: if the user is provided in the url (bzr command line for HTTP,
3588
proxy environment variables for proxies), the password is prompted for
3589
(only once). If the password is provided, it is taken into account. Once
3590
the first authentication is successful, all further authentication
3591
roundtrips are avoided by preventively setting the right authentication
3592
header(s).
3593
(Vincent Ladeuil).
3594
3595
INTERNALS:
3596
3597
* bzrlib API compatability with 0.8 has been dropped, cleaning up some
3598
code paths. (Robert Collins)
3599
3600
* Change the format of chroot urls so that they can be safely manipulated
3601
by generic url utilities without causing the resulting urls to have
3602
escaped the chroot. A side effect of this is that creating a chroot
3603
requires an explicit action using a ChrootServer.
3604
(Robert Collins, Andrew Bennetts)
3605
3606
* Deprecate ``Branch.get_root_id()`` because branches don't have root ids,
3607
rather than fixing bug #96847. (Aaron Bentley)
3608
3609
* ``WorkingTree.apply_inventory_delta`` provides a better alternative to
3610
``WorkingTree._write_inventory``. (Aaron Bentley)
3611
3612
* Convenience method ``TestCase.expectFailure`` ensures that known failures
3613
do not silently pass. (Aaron Bentley)
3614
3615
* ``Transport.local_abspath`` now raises ``NotLocalUrl`` rather than
3616
``TransportNotPossible``. (Martin Pool, Ian Clatworthy)
3617
3618
* New SmartServer hooks facility. There are two initial hooks documented
3619
in ``bzrlib.transport.smart.SmartServerHooks``. The two initial hooks allow
3620
plugins to execute code upon server startup and shutdown.
3621
(Robert Collins).
3622
3623
* SmartServer in standalone mode will now close its listening socket
3624
when it stops, rather than waiting for garbage collection. This primarily
3625
fixes test suite hangs when a test tries to connect to a shutdown server.
3626
It may also help improve behaviour when dealing with a server running
3627
on a specific port (rather than dynamically assigned ports).
3628
(Robert Collins)
3629
3630
* Move most SmartServer code into a new package, bzrlib/smart.
3631
bzrlib/transport/remote.py contains just the Transport classes that used
3632
to be in bzrlib/transport/smart.py. (Andrew Bennetts)
3633
3634
* urllib http implementation avoid roundtrips associated with
3635
401 (and 407) errors once the authentication succeeds.
3636
(Vincent Ladeuil).
3637
3638
* urlib http now supports querying the user for a proxy password if
3639
needed. Realm is shown in the prompt for both HTTP and proxy
3640
authentication when the user is required to type a password.
3641
(Vincent Ladeuil).
3642
3643
* Renamed SmartTransport (and subclasses like SmartTCPTransport) to
3644
RemoteTransport (and subclasses to RemoteTCPTransport, etc). This is more
3645
consistent with its new home in ``bzrlib/transport/remote.py``, and because
3646
it's not really a "smart" transport, just one that does file operations
3647
via remote procedure calls. (Andrew Bennetts)
3648
3649
* The ``lock_write`` method of ``LockableFiles``, ``Repository`` and
3650
``Branch`` now accept a ``token`` keyword argument, so that separate
3651
instances of those objects can share a lock if it has the right token.
3652
(Andrew Bennetts, Robert Collins)
3653
3654
* New method ``get_branch_reference`` on ``BzrDir`` allows the detection of
3655
branch references - which the smart server component needs.
3656
3657
* The Repository API ``make_working_trees`` is now permitted to return
3658
False when ``set_make_working_trees`` is not implemented - previously
3659
an unimplemented ``set_make_working_trees`` implied the result True
3660
from ``make_working_trees``. This has been changed to accomodate the
3661
smart server, where it does not make sense (at this point) to ever
3662
make working trees by default. (Robert Collins)
3663
3664
* Command objects can now declare related help topics by having _see_also
3665
set to a list of related topic. (Robert Collins)
3666
3667
* ``bzrlib.help`` now delegates to the Command class for Command specific
3668
help. (Robert Collins)
3669
3670
* New class ``TransportListRegistry``, derived from the Registry class, which
3671
simplifies tracking the available Transports. (Goffredo Baroncelli)
3672
3673
* New function ``Branch.get_revision_id_to_revno_map`` which will
3674
return a dictionary mapping revision ids to dotted revnos. Since
3675
dotted revnos are defined in the context of the branch tip, it makes
3676
sense to generate them from a ``Branch`` object.
3677
(John Arbash Meinel)
3678
3679
* Fix the 'Unprintable error' message display to use the repr of the
3680
exception that prevented printing the error because the str value
3681
for it is often not useful in debugging (e.g. KeyError('foo') has a
3682
str() of 'foo' but a repr of 'KeyError('foo')' which is much more
3683
useful. (Robert Collins)
3684
3685
* ``urlutils.normalize_url`` now unescapes unreserved characters, such as "~".
3686
(Andrew Bennetts)
3687
3688
BUGFIXES:
3689
3690
* Don't fail bundle selftest if email has 'two' embedded.
3691
(Ian Clatworthy, #98510)
3692
3693
* Remove ``--verbose`` from ``bzr bundle``. It didn't work anyway.
3694
(Robert Widhopf-Fenk, #98591)
3695
3696
* Remove ``--basis`` from the checkout/branch commands - it didn't work
3697
properly and is no longer beneficial.
3698
(Robert Collins, #53675, #43486)
3699

3702
3703
* Fix ``bzr log <file>`` so it only logs the revisions that changed
3704
the file, and does it faster.
3705
(Kent Gibson, John Arbash Meinel, #51980, #69477)
3706
3707
* Fix ``InterDirstateTre._iter_changes`` to handle when we come across
3708
an empty versioned directory, which now has files in it.
3709
(John Arbash Meinel, #104257)
3710
3711
* Teach ``common_ancestor`` to shortcut when the tip of one branch is
3712
inside the ancestry of the other. Saves a lot of graph processing
3713
(with an ancestry of 16k revisions, ``bzr merge ../already-merged``
3714
changes from 2m10s to 13s). (John Arbash Meinel, #103757)
3715
3716
* Fix ``show_diff_trees`` to handle the case when a file is modified,
3717
and the containing directory is renamed. (The file path is different
3718
in this versus base, but it isn't marked as a rename).
3719
(John Arbash Meinel, #103870)
3720
3721
* FTP now works even when the FTP server does not support atomic rename.
3722
(Aaron Bentley, #89436)
3723
3724
* Correct handling in bundles and merge directives of timezones with
3725
that are not an integer number of hours offset from UTC. Always
3726
represent the epoch time in UTC to avoid problems with formatting
3727
earlier times on win32. (Martin Pool, Alexander Belchenko, John
3728
Arbash Meinel)
3729
3730
* Typo in the help for ``register-branch`` fixed. (Robert Collins, #96770)
3731
3732
* "dirstate" and "dirstate-tags" formats now produce branches compatible
3733
with old versions of bzr. (Aaron Bentley, #107168))
3734
3735
* Handle moving a directory when children have been added, removed,
3736
and renamed. (John Arbash Meinel, #105479)
3737
3738
* Don't preventively use basic authentication for proxy before receiving a
3739
407 error. Otherwise people willing to use other authentication schemes
3740
may expose their password in the clear (or nearly). This add one
3741
roundtrip in case basic authentication should be used, but plug the
3742
security hole.
3743
(Vincent Ladeuil)
3744
3745
* Handle http and proxy digest authentication.
3746
(Vincent Ladeuil, #94034).
3747
3748
TESTING:
3749
3750
* Added ``bzrlib.strace.strace`` which will strace a single callable and
3751
return a StraceResult object which contains just the syscalls involved
3752
in running it. (Robert Collins)
3753
3754
* New test method ``reduceLockdirTimeout`` to drop the default (ui-centric)
3755
default time down to one suitable for tests. (Andrew Bennetts)
3756
3757
* Add new ``vfs_transport_factory`` attribute on tests which provides the
3758
common vfs backing for both the readonly and readwrite transports.
3759
This allows the RemoteObject tests to back onto local disk or memory,
3760
and use the existing ``transport_server`` attribute all tests know about
3761
to be the smart server transport. This in turn allows tests to
3762
differentiate between 'transport to access the branch', and
3763
'transport which is a VFS' - which matters in Remote* tests.
3764
(Robert Collins, Andrew Bennetts)
3765
3766
* The ``make_branch_and_tree`` method for tests will now create a
3767
lightweight checkout for the tree if the ``vfs_transport_factory`` is not
3768
a LocalURLServer. (Robert Collins, Andrew Bennetts)
3769
3770
* Branch implementation tests have been audited to ensure that all urls
3771
passed to Branch APIs use proper urls, except when local-disk paths
3772
are intended. This is so that tests correctly access the test transport
3773
which is often not equivalent to local disk in Remote* tests. As part
3774
of this many tests were adjusted to remove dependencies on local disk
3775
access.
3776
(Robert Collins, Andrew Bennetts)
3777
3778
* Mark bzrlib.tests and bzrlib.tests.TestUtil as providing assertFOO helper
3779
functions by adding a ``__unittest`` global attribute. (Robert Collins,
3780
Andrew Bennetts, Martin Pool, Jonathan Lange)
3781
3782
* Refactored proxy and authentication handling to simplify the
3783
implementation of new auth schemes for both http and proxy.

3801
CHANGES:
3802
3803
* A warning is now displayed when opening working trees in older
3804
formats, to encourage people to upgrade to WorkingTreeFormat4.
3805
(Martin Pool)
3806
3807
IMPROVEMENTS:
3808
3809
* HTTP redirections are now taken into account when a branch (or a
3810
bundle) is accessed for the first time. A message is issued at each
3811
redirection to inform the user. In the past, http redirections were
3812
silently followed for each request which significantly degraded the
3813
performances. The http redirections are not followed anymore by
3814
default, instead a RedirectRequested exception is raised. For bzrlib
3815
users needing to follow http redirections anyway,
3816
``bzrlib.transport.do_catching_redirections`` provide an easy transition
3817
path. (vila)
3818
3819
INTERNALS:
3820
3821
* Added ``ReadLock.temporary_write_lock()`` to allow upgrading an OS read
3822
lock to an OS write lock. Linux can do this without unlocking, Win32
3823
needs to unlock in between. (John Arbash Meinel)
3824
3825
* New parameter ``recommend_upgrade`` to ``BzrDir.open_workingtree``
3826
to silence (when false) warnings about opening old formats.
3827
(Martin Pool)
3828
3829
* Fix minor performance regression with bzr-0.15 on pre-dirstate
3830
trees. (We were reading the working inventory too many times).
3831
(John Arbash Meinel)
3832
3833
* Remove ``Branch.get_transaction()`` in favour of a simple cache of
3834
``revision_history``. Branch subclasses should override
3835
``_gen_revision_history`` rather than ``revision_history`` to make use of
3836
this cache, and call ``_clear_revision_history_cache`` and
3837
``_cache_revision_history`` at appropriate times. (Andrew Bennetts)
3838
3839
BUGFIXES:
3840
3841
* Take ``smtp_server`` from user config into account.
3842
(vila, #92195)
3843
3844
* Restore Unicode filename handling for versioned and unversioned files.
3845
(John Arbash Meinel, #92608)
3846
3847
* Don't fail during ``bzr commit`` if a file is marked removed, and
3848
the containing directory is auto-removed. (John Arbash Meinel, #93681)
3849
3850
* ``bzr status FILENAME`` failed on Windows because of an uncommon
3851
errno. (``ERROR_DIRECTORY == 267 != ENOTDIR``).
3852
(Wouter van Heyst, John Arbash Meinel, #90819)
3853
3854
* ``bzr checkout source`` should create a local branch in the same
3855
format as source. (John Arbash Meinel, #93854)
3856
3857
* ``bzr commit`` with a kind change was failing to update the
3858
last-changed-revision for directories. The
3859
InventoryDirectory._unchanged only looked at the ``parent_id`` and name,
3860
ignoring the fact that the kind could have changed, too.
3861
(John Arbash Meinel, #90111)
3862
3863
* ``bzr mv dir/subdir other`` was incorrectly updating files inside
3864
the directory. So that there was a chance it would break commit,
3865
etc. (John Arbash Meinel, #94037)
3866
3867
* Correctly handles mutiple permanent http redirections.

bzr 0.15rc2 2007-03-14
3871
-----------------------
3872
3873
NOTES WHEN UPGRADING:
3874
3875
* Release 0.15rc2 of bzr changes the ``bzr init-repo`` command to
3876
default to ``--trees`` instead of ``--no-trees``.
3877
Existing shared repositories are not affected.
3878
3879
IMPROVEMENTS:
3880
3881
* New ``merge-directive`` command to generate machine- and human-readable
3882
merge requests. (Aaron Bentley)
3883
3884
* New ``submit:`` revision specifier makes it easy to diff against the
3885
common ancestor with the submit location (Aaron Bentley)
3886
3887
* Added support for Putty's SSH implementation. (Dmitry Vasiliev)
3888
3889
* Added ``bzr status --versioned`` to report only versioned files,
3890
not unknowns. (Kent Gibson)
3891
3892
* Merge now autodetects the correct line-ending style for its conflict
3893
markers. (Aaron Bentley)
3894
3895
INTERNALS:
3896
3897
* Refactored SSH vendor registration into SSHVendorManager class.
3898
(Dmitry Vasiliev)
3899
3900
BUGFIXES:
3901
3902
* New ``--numbered-dirs`` option to ``bzr selftest`` to use
3903
numbered dirs for TestCaseInTempDir. This is default behavior
3904
on Windows. Anyone can force named dirs on Windows
3905
with ``--no-numbered-dirs``. (Alexander Belchenko)
3906
3907
* Fix ``RevisionSpec_revid`` to handle the Unicode strings passed in
3908
from the command line. (Marien Zwart, #90501)
3909
3910
* Fix ``TreeTransform._iter_changes`` when both the source and
3911
destination are missing. (Aaron Bentley, #88842)
3912
3913
* Fix commit of merges with symlinks in dirstate trees.
3914
(Marien Zwart)
3915
3916
* Switch the ``bzr init-repo`` default from --no-trees to --trees.

3920
bzr 0.15rc1 2007-03-07
3921
-----------------------
3922
3923
SURPRISES:
3924
3925
* The default disk format has changed. Please run 'bzr upgrade' in your
3926
working trees to upgrade. This new default is compatible for network
3927
operations, but not for local operations. That is, if you have two
3928
versions of bzr installed locally, after upgrading you can only use the
3929
bzr 0.15 version. This new default does not enable tags or nested-trees
3930
as they are incompatible with bzr versions before 0.15 over the network.
3931
3932
* For users of bzrlib: Two major changes have been made to the working tree
3933
api in bzrlib. The first is that many methods and attributes, including
3934
the inventory attribute, are no longer valid for use until one of
3935
``lock_read``/``lock_write``/``lock_tree_write`` has been called,
3936
and become invalid again after unlock is called. This has been done
3937
to improve performance and correctness as part of the dirstate
3938
development.
3939
(Robert Collins, John A Meinel, Martin Pool, and others).
3940
3941
* For users of bzrlib: The attribute 'tree.inventory' should be considered
3942
readonly. Previously it was possible to directly alter this attribute, or
3943
its contents, and have the tree notice this. This has been made
3944
unsupported - it may work in some tree formats, but in the newer dirstate
3945
format such actions will have no effect and will be ignored, or even
3946
cause assertions. All operations possible can still be carried out by a
3947
combination of the tree API, and the bzrlib.transform API. (Robert
3948
Collins, John A Meinel, Martin Pool, and others).
3949
3950
IMPROVEMENTS:
3951
3952
* Support for OS Windows 98. Also .bzr.log on any windows system
3953
saved in My Documents folder. (Alexander Belchenko)
3954
3955
* ``bzr mv`` enhanced to support already moved files.
3956
In the past the mv command would have failed if the source file doesn't
3957
exist. In this situation ``bzr mv`` would now detect that the file has
3958
already moved and update the repository accordingly, if the target file
3959
does exist.
3960
A new option ``--after`` has been added so that if two files already
3961
exist, you could notify Bazaar that you have moved a (versioned) file
3962
and replaced it with another. Thus in this case ``bzr move --after``
3963
will only update the Bazaar identifier.
3964
(Steffen Eichenberg, Marius Kruger)
3965
3966
* ``ls`` now works on treeless branches and remote branches.
3967
(Aaron Bentley)
3968
3969
* ``bzr help global-options`` describes the global options.
3970
(Aaron Bentley)
3971
3972
* ``bzr pull --overwrite`` will now correctly overwrite checkouts.
3973
(Robert Collins)
3974
3975
* Files are now allowed to change kind (e.g. from file to symlink).
3976
Supported by ``commit``, ``revert`` and ``status``
3977
(Aaron Bentley)
3978
3979
* ``inventory`` and ``unknowns`` hidden in favour of ``ls``
3980
(Aaron Bentley)
3981
3982
* ``bzr help checkouts`` descibes what checkouts are and some possible
3983
uses of them. (James Westby, Aaron Bentley)
3984
3985
* A new ``-d`` option to push, pull and merge overrides the default
3986
directory. (Martin Pool)
3987
3988
* Branch format 6: smaller, and potentially faster than format 5. Supports
3989
``append_history_only`` mode, where the log view and revnos do not change,
3990
except by being added to. Stores policy settings in
3991
".bzr/branch/branch.conf".
3992
3993
* ``append_only`` branches: Format 6 branches may be configured so that log
3994
view and revnos are always consistent. Either create the branch using
3995
"bzr init --append-revisions-only" or edit the config file as descriped
3996
in docs/configuration.txt.
3997
3998
* rebind: Format 6 branches retain the last-used bind location, so if you
3999
"bzr unbind", you can "bzr bind" to bind to the previously-selected
4000
bind location.
4001
4002
* Builtin tags support, created and deleted by the ``tag`` command and
4003
stored in the branch. Tags can be accessed with the revisionspec
4004
``-rtag:``, and listed with ``bzr tags``. Tags are not versioned
4005
at present. Tags require a network incompatible upgrade. To perform this
4006
upgrade, run ``bzr upgrade --dirstate-tags`` in your branch and
4007
repositories. (Martin Pool)
4008
4009
* The ``bzr://`` transport now has a well-known port number, 4155,
4010
which it will use by default. (Andrew Bennetts, Martin Pool)
4011
4012
* Bazaar now looks for user-installed plugins before looking for site-wide
4013
plugins. (Jonathan Lange)
4014
4015
* ``bzr resolve`` now detects and marks resolved text conflicts.
4016
(Aaron Bentley)
4017
4018
INTERNALS:
4019
4020
* Internally revision ids and file ids are now passed around as utf-8
4021
bytestrings, rather than treating them as Unicode strings. This has
4022
performance benefits for Knits, since we no longer need to decode the
4023
revision id for each line of content, nor for each entry in the index.
4024
This will also help with the future dirstate format.
4025
(John Arbash Meinel)
4026
4027
* Reserved ids (any revision-id ending in a colon) are rejected by
4028
versionedfiles, repositories, branches, and working trees
4029
(Aaron Bentley)
4030
4031
* Minor performance improvement by not creating a ProgressBar for
4032
every KnitIndex we create. (about 90ms for a bzr.dev tree)
4033
(John Arbash Meinel)
4034
4035
* New easier to use Branch hooks facility. There are five initial hooks,
4036
all documented in bzrlib.branch.BranchHooks.__init__ - ``'set_rh'``,
4037
``'post_push'``, ``'post_pull'``, ``'post_commit'``,
4038
``'post_uncommit'``. These hooks fire after the matching operation
4039
on a branch has taken place, and were originally added for the
4040
branchrss plugin. (Robert Collins)
4041
4042
* New method ``Branch.push()`` which should be used when pushing from a
4043
branch as it makes performance and policy decisions to match the UI
4044
level command ``push``. (Robert Collins).
4045
4046
* Add a new method ``Tree.revision_tree`` which allows access to cached
4047
trees for arbitrary revisions. This allows the in development dirstate
4048
tree format to provide access to the callers to cached copies of
4049
inventory data which are cheaper to access than inventories from the
4050
repository.
4051
(Robert Collins, Martin Pool)
4052
4053
* New ``Branch.last_revision_info`` method, this is being done to allow
4054
optimization of requests for both the number of revisions and the last
4055
revision of a branch with smartservers and potentially future branch
4056
formats. (Wouter van Heyst, Robert Collins)
4057
4058
* Allow ``'import bzrlib.plugins.NAME'`` to work when the plugin NAME has not
4059
yet been loaded by ``load_plugins()``. This allows plugins to depend on each
4060
other for code reuse without requiring users to perform file-renaming
4061
gymnastics. (Robert Collins)
4062
4063
* New Repository method ``'gather_stats'`` for statistic data collection.
4064
This is expected to grow to cover a number of related uses mainly
4065
related to bzr info. (Robert Collins)
4066
4067
* Log formatters are now managed with a registry.
4068
``log.register_formatter`` continues to work, but callers accessing
4069
the FORMATTERS dictionary directly will not.
4070
4071
* Allow a start message to be passed to the ``edit_commit_message``
4072
function. This will be placed in the message offered to the user
4073
for editing above the separator. It allows a template commit message
4074
to be used more easily. (James Westby)
4075
4076
* ``GPGStrategy.sign()`` will now raise ``BzrBadParameterUnicode`` if
4077
you pass a Unicode string rather than an 8-bit string. Callers need
4078
to be updated to encode first. (John Arbash Meinel)
4079
4080
* Branch.push, pull, merge now return Result objects with information
4081
about what happened, rather than a scattering of various methods. These
4082
are also passed to the post hooks. (Martin Pool)
4083
4084
* File formats and architecture is in place for managing a forest of trees
4085
in bzr, and splitting up existing trees into smaller subtrees, and
4086
finally joining trees to make a larger tree. This is the first iteration
4087
of this support, and the user-facing aspects still require substantial
4088
work. If you wish to experiment with it, use ``bzr upgrade
4089
--dirstate-with-subtree`` in your working trees and repositories.
4090
You can use the hidden commands ``split`` and ``join`` and to create
4091
and manipulate nested trees, but please consider using the nested-trees
4092
branch, which contains substantial UI improvements, instead.
4093
http://code.aaronbentley.com/bzr/bzrrepo/nested-trees/
4094
(Aaron Bentley, Martin Pool, Robert Collins).
4095
4096
BUGFIXES:
4097
4098
* ``bzr annotate`` now uses dotted revnos from the viewpoint of the
4099
branch, rather than the last changed revision of the file.
4100
(John Arbash Meinel, #82158)
4101
4102
* Lock operations no longer hang if they encounter a permission problem.
4103
(Aaron Bentley)
4104
4105
* ``bzr push`` can resume a push that was canceled before it finished.
4106
Also, it can push even if the target directory exists if you supply
4107
the ``--use-existing-dir`` flag.
4108
(John Arbash Meinel, #30576, #45504)
4109
4110
* Fix http proxy authentication when user and an optional
4111
password appears in the ``*_proxy`` vars. (Vincent Ladeuil,
4112
#83954).
4113
4114
* ``bzr log branch/file`` works for local treeless branches
4115
(Aaron Bentley, #84247)
4116
4117
* Fix problem with UNC paths on Windows 98. (Alexander Belchenko, #84728)
4118
4119
* Searching location of CA bundle for PyCurl in env variable
4120
(``CURL_CA_BUNDLE``), and on win32 along the PATH.
4121
(Alexander Belchenko, #82086)
4122
4123
* ``bzr init`` works with unicode argument LOCATION.
4124
(Alexander Belchenko, #85599)
4125
4126
* Raise ``DependencyNotPresent`` if pycurl do not support https.
4127
(Vincent Ladeuil, #85305)
4128
4129
* Invalid proxy env variables should not cause a traceback.
4130
(Vincent Ladeuil, #87765)
4131
4132
* Ignore patterns normalised to use '/' path separator.
4133
(Kent Gibson, #86451)
4134
4135
* bzr rocks. It sure does! Fix case. (Vincent Ladeuil, #78026)
4136
4137
* Fix bzrtools shelve command for removed lines beginning with "--"
4138
(Johan Dahlberg, #75577)
4139
4140
TESTING:
4141
4142
* New ``--first`` option to ``bzr selftest`` to run specified tests
4143
before the rest of the suite. (Martin Pool)

* ``bzr help global-options`` describes the global options. (Aaron Bentley)
4152
4153
BUG FIXES:
4154
4155
* Skip documentation generation tests if the tools to do so are not
4156
available. Fixes running selftest for installled copies of bzr.
4157
(John Arbash Meinel, #80330)
4158
4159
* Fix the code that discovers whether bzr is being run from it's
4160
working tree to handle the case when it isn't but the directory
4161
it is in is below a repository. (James Westby, #77306)

bzr 0.14rc1 2007-01-16
4165
-----------------------
4166
4167
IMPROVEMENTS:
4168
4169
* New connection: ``bzr+http://`` which supports tunnelling the smart
4170
protocol over an HTTP connection. If writing is enabled on the bzr
4171
server, then you can write over the http connection.
4172
(Andrew Bennetts, John Arbash Meinel)
4173
4174
* Aliases now support quotation marks, so they can contain whitespace
4175
(Marius Kruger)
4176
4177
* PyCurlTransport now use a single curl object. By specifying explicitly
4178
the 'Range' header, we avoid the need to use two different curl objects
4179
(and two connections to the same server). (Vincent Ladeuil)
4180
4181
* ``bzr commit`` does not prompt for a message until it is very likely to
4182
succeed. (Aaron Bentley)
4183
4184
* ``bzr conflicts`` now takes --text to list pathnames of text conflicts
4185
(Aaron Bentley)
4186
4187
* Fix ``iter_lines_added_or_present_in_versions`` to use a set instead
4188
of a list while checking if a revision id was requested. Takes 10s
4189
off of the ``fileids_affected_by_revision_ids`` time, which is 10s
4190
of the ``bzr branch`` time. Also improve ``fileids_...`` time by
4191
filtering lines with a regex rather than multiple ``str.find()``
4192
calls. (saves another 300ms) (John Arbash Meinel)
4193
4194
* Policy can be set for each configuration key. This allows keys to be
4195
inherited properly across configuration entries. For example, this
4196
should enable you to do::
4197
4198
[/home/user/project]
4199
push_location = sftp://host/srv/project/
4200
push_location:policy = appendpath
4201
4202
And then a branch like ``/home/user/project/mybranch`` should get an
4203
automatic push location of ``sftp://host/srv/project/mybranch``.
4204
(James Henstridge)
4205
4206
* Added ``bzr status --short`` to make status report svn style flags
4207
for each file. For example::
4208
4209
$ bzr status --short
4210
A foo
4211
A bar
4212
D baz
4213
? wooley
4214
4215
* 'bzr selftest --clean-output' allows easily clean temporary tests
4216
directories without running tests. (Alexander Belchenko)
4217
4218
* ``bzr help hidden-commands`` lists all hidden commands. (Aaron Bentley)
4219
4220
* ``bzr merge`` now has an option ``--pull`` to fall back to pull if
4221
local is fully merged into remote. (Jan Hudec)
4222
4223
* ``bzr help formats`` describes available directory formats. (Aaron Bentley)
4224
4225
INTERNALS:
4226
4227
* A few tweaks directly to ``fileids_affected_by_revision_ids`` to
4228
help speed up processing, as well allowing to extract unannotated
4229
lines. Between the two ``fileids_affected_by_revision_ids`` is
4230
improved by approx 10%. (John Arbash Meinel)
4231
4232
* Change Revision serialization to only write out millisecond
4233
resolution. Rather than expecting floating point serialization to
4234
preserve more resolution than we need. (Henri Weichers, Martin Pool)
4235
4236
* Test suite ends cleanly on Windows. (Vincent Ladeuil)
4237
4238
* When ``encoding_type`` attribute of class Command is equal to 'exact',
4239
force sys.stdout to be a binary stream on Windows, and therefore
4240
keep exact line-endings (without LF -> CRLF conversion).
4241
(Alexander Belchenko)
4242
4243
* Single-letter short options are no longer globally declared. (Martin
4244
Pool)
4245
4246
* Before using detected user/terminal encoding bzr should check
4247
that Python has corresponding codec. (Alexander Belchenko)
4248
4249
* Formats for end-user selection are provided via a FormatRegistry (Aaron Bentley)
4250
4251
BUG FIXES:
4252
4253
* ``bzr missing --verbose`` was showing adds/removals in the wrong
4254
direction. (John Arbash Meinel)
4255
4256
* ``bzr annotate`` now defaults to showing dotted revnos for merged
4257
revisions. It cuts them off at a depth of 12 characters, but you can
4258
supply ``--long`` to see the full number. You can also use
4259
``--show-ids`` to display the original revision ids, rather than
4260
revision numbers and committer names. (John Arbash Meinel, #75637)
4261
4262
* bzr now supports Win32 UNC path (e.g. ``\HOST\path``.
4263
(Alexander Belchenko, #57869)
4264
4265
* Win32-specific: output of cat, bundle and diff commands don't mangle
4266
line-endings (Alexander Belchenko, #55276)
4267
4268
* Replace broken fnmatch based ignore pattern matching with custom pattern
4269
matcher.
4270
(Kent Gibson, Jan Hudec #57637)
4271
4272
* pycurl and urllib can detect short reads at different places. Update
4273
the test suite to test more cases. Also detect http error code 416
4274
which was raised for that specific bug. Also enhance the urllib
4275
robustness by detecting invalid ranges (and pycurl's one by detecting
4276
short reads during the initial GET). (Vincent Ladeuil, #73948)
4277
4278
* The urllib connection sharing interacts badly with urllib2
4279
proxy setting (the connections didn't go thru the proxy
4280
anymore). Defining a proper ProxyHandler solves the
4281
problem. (Vincent Ladeuil, #74759)
4282
4283
* Use urlutils to generate relative URLs, not osutils
4284
(Aaron Bentley, #76229)
4285
4286
* ``bzr status`` in a readonly directory should work without giving
4287
lots of errors. (John Arbash Meinel, #76299)
4288
4289
* Mention the revisionspec topic for the revision option help.
4290
(Wouter van Heyst, #31663)
4291
4292
* Allow plugins import from zip archives.

-----------------------
4303
4304
IMPROVEMENTS:
4305
4306
* New command ``bzr remove-tree`` allows the removal of the working
4307
tree from a branch.
4308
(Daniel Silverstone)
4309
4310
* urllib uses shared keep-alive connections, so http
4311
operations are substantially faster.
4312
(Vincent Ladeuil, #53654)
4313
4314
* ``bzr export`` allows an optional branch parameter, to export a bzr
4315
tree from some other url. For example:
4316
``bzr export bzr.tar.gz http://bazaar-vcs.org/bzr/bzr.dev``
4317
(Daniel Silverstone)
4318
4319
* Added ``bzr help topics`` to the bzr help system. This gives a
4320
location for general information, outside of a specific command.
4321
This includes updates for ``bzr help revisionspec`` the first topic
4322
included. (Goffredo Baroncelli, John Arbash Meinel, #42714)
4323
4324
* WSGI-compatible HTTP smart server. See ``doc/http_smart_server.txt``.
4325
(Andrew Bennetts)
4326
4327
* Knit files will now cache full texts only when the size of the
4328
deltas is as large as the size of the fulltext. (Or after 200
4329
deltas, whichever comes first). This has the most benefit on large
4330
files with small changes, such as the inventory for a large project.
4331
(eg For a project with 2500 files, and 7500 revisions, it changes
4332
the size of inventory.knit from 11MB to 5.4MB) (John Arbash Meinel)
4333
4334
INTERNALS:
4335
4336
* New -D option given before the command line turns on debugging output
4337
for particular areas. -Derror shows tracebacks on all errors.
4338
(Martin Pool)
4339
4340
* Clean up ``bzr selftest --benchmark bundle`` to correct an import,
4341
and remove benchmarks that take longer than 10min to run.
4342
(John Arbash Meinel)
4343
4344
* Use ``time.time()`` instead of ``time.clock()`` to decide on
4345
progress throttling. Because ``time.clock()`` is actually CPU time,
4346
so over a high-latency connection, too many updates get throttled.
4347
(John Arbash Meinel)
4348
4349
* ``MemoryTransport.list_dir()`` would strip the first character for
4350
files or directories in root directory. (John Arbash Meinel)
4351
4352
* New method ``get_branch_reference`` on 'BzrDir' allows the detection of
4353
branch references - which the smart server component needs.
4354
4355
* New ``ChrootTransportDecorator``, accessible via the ``chroot+`` url
4356
prefix. It disallows any access to locations above a set URL. (Andrew
4357
Bennetts)
4358
4359
BUG FIXES:
4360
4361
* Now ``_KnitIndex`` properly decode revision ids when loading index data.
4362
And optimize the knit index parsing code.
4363
(Dmitry Vasiliev, John Arbash Meinel)
4364
4365
* ``bzrlib/bzrdir.py`` was directly referencing ``bzrlib.workingtree``,
4366
without importing it. This prevented ``bzr upgrade`` from working
4367
unless a plugin already imported ``bzrlib.workingtree``
4368
(John Arbash Meinel, #70716)
4369
4370
* Suppress the traceback on invalid URLs (Vincent Ladeuil, #70803).
4371
4372
* Give nicer error message when an http server returns a 403
4373
error code. (Vincent Ladeuil, #57644).
4374
4375
* When a multi-range http GET request fails, try a single
4376
range one. If it fails too, forget about ranges. Remember that until
4377
the death of the transport and propagates that to the clones.
4378
(Vincent Ladeuil, #62276, #62029).
4379
4380
* Handles user/passwords supplied in url from command
4381
line (for the urllib implementation). Don't request already
4382
known passwords (Vincent Ladeuil, #42383, #44647, #48527)
4383
4384
* ``_KnitIndex.add_versions()`` dictionary compresses revision ids as they
4385
are added. This fixes bug where fetching remote revisions records
4386
them as full references rather than integers.
4387
(John Arbash Meinel, #64789)
4388
4389
* ``bzr ignore`` strips trailing slashes in patterns.
4390
Also ``bzr ignore`` rejects absolute paths. (Kent Gibson, #4559)
4391
4392
* ``bzr ignore`` takes multiple arguments. (Cheuksan Edward Wang, #29488)
4393
4394
* mv correctly handles paths that traverse symlinks.
4395
(Aaron Bentley, #66964)
4396
4397
* Give nicer looking error messages when failing to connect over ssh.
4398
(John Arbash Meinel, #49172)
4399
4400
* Pushing to a remote branch does not currently update the remote working
4401
tree. After a remote push, ``bzr status`` and ``bzr diff`` on the remote
4402
machine now show that the working tree is out of date.
4403
(Cheuksan Edward Wang #48136)
4404
4405
* Use patiencediff instead of difflib for determining deltas to insert
4406
into knits. This avoids the O(N^3) behavior of difflib. Patience
4407
diff should be O(N^2). (Cheuksan Edward Wang, #65714)
4408
4409
* Running ``bzr log`` on nonexistent file gives an error instead of the
4410
entire log history. (Cheuksan Edward Wang #50793)
4411
4412
* ``bzr cat`` can look up contents of removed or renamed files. If the
4413
pathname is ambiguous, i.e. the files in the old and new trees have
4414
different id's, the default is the file in the new tree. The user can
4415
use "--name-from-revision" to select the file in the old tree.
4416
(Cheuksan Edward Wang, #30190)
4417
4418
TESTING:
4419
4420
* TestingHTTPRequestHandler really handles the Range header
4421
(previously it was ignoring it and returning the whole file,).

4424
--------------------
4425
4426
INTERNALS:
4427
4428
* Clean up ``bzr selftest --benchmark bundle`` to correct an import,
4429
and remove benchmarks that take longer than 10min to run.
4430
(John Arbash Meinel)
4431
4432
bzr 0.12rc1 2006-10-23
4433
-----------------------
4434
4435
IMPROVEMENTS:
4436
4437
* ``bzr log`` now shows dotted-decimal revision numbers for all revisions,
4438
rather than just showing a decimal revision number for revisions on the
4439
mainline. These revision numbers are not yet accepted as input into bzr
4440
commands such as log, diff etc. (Robert Collins)
4441
4442
* revisions can now be specified using dotted-decimal revision numbers.
4443
For instance, ``bzr diff -r 1.2.1..1.2.3``. (Robert Collins)
4444
4445
* ``bzr help commands`` output is now shorter (Aaron Bentley)
4446
4447
* ``bzr`` now uses lazy importing to reduce the startup time. This has
4448
a moderate effect on lots of actions, especially ones that have
4449
little to do. For example ``bzr rocks`` time is down to 116ms from
4450
283ms. (John Arbash Meinel)
4451
4452
* New Registry class to provide name-to-object registry-like support,
4453
for example for schemes where plugins can register new classes to
4454
do certain tasks (e.g. log formatters). Also provides lazy registration
4455
to allow modules to be loaded on request.
4456
(John Arbash Meinel, Adeodato Simó)
4457
4458
API INCOMPATABILITY:
4459
4460
* LogFormatter subclasses show now expect the 'revno' parameter to
4461
show() to be a string rather than an int. (Robert Collins)
4462
4463
INTERNALS:
4464
4465
* ``TestCase.run_bzr``, ``run_bzr_captured``, and ``run_bzr_subprocess``
4466
can take a ``working_dir='foo'`` parameter, which will change directory
4467
for the command. (John Arbash Meinel)
4468
4469
* ``bzrlib.lazy_regex.lazy_compile`` can be used to create a proxy
4470
around a regex, which defers compilation until first use.
4471
(John Arbash Meinel)
4472
4473
* ``TestCase.run_bzr_subprocess`` defaults to supplying the
4474
``--no-plugins`` parameter to ensure test reproducability, and avoid
4475
problems with system-wide installed plugins. (John Arbash Meinel)
4476
4477
* Unique tree root ids are now supported. Newly created trees still
4478
use the common root id for compatibility with bzr versions before 0.12.
4479
(Aaron Bentley)
4480
4481
* ``WorkingTree.set_root_id(None)`` is now deprecated. Please
4482
pass in ``inventory.ROOT_ID`` if you want the default root id value.
4483
(Robert Collins, John Arbash Meinel)
4484
4485
* New method ``WorkingTree.flush()`` which will write the current memory
4486
inventory out to disk. At the same time, ``read_working_inventory`` will
4487
no longer trash the current tree inventory if it has been modified within
4488
the current lock, and the tree will now ``flush()`` automatically on
4489
``unlock()``. ``WorkingTree.set_root_id()`` has been updated to take
4490
advantage of this functionality. (Robert Collins, John Arbash Meinel)
4491
4492
* ``bzrlib.tsort.merge_sorted`` now accepts ``generate_revnos``. This
4493
parameter will cause it to add another column to its output, which
4494
contains the dotted-decimal revno for each revision, as a tuple.
4495
(Robert Collins)
4496
4497
* ``LogFormatter.show_merge`` is deprecated in favour of
4498
``LogFormatter.show_merge_revno``. (Robert Collins)
4499
4500
BUG FIXES:
4501
4502
* Avoid circular imports by creating a deprecated function for
4503
``bzrlib.tree.RevisionTree``. Callers should have been using
4504
``bzrlib.revisontree.RevisionTree`` anyway. (John Arbash Meinel,
4505
#63360, #66349)
4506
4507
* Don't use ``socket.MSG_WAITALL`` as it doesn't exist on all
4508
platforms. (Martin Pool, #66356)
4509
4510
* Don't require ``Content-Type`` in range responses. Assume they are a
4511
single range if ``Content-Type`` does not exist.
4512
(John Arbash Meinel, #62473)
4513
4514
* bzr branch/pull no longer complain about progress bar cleanup when
4515
interrupted during fetch. (Aaron Bentley, #54000)
4516
4517
* ``WorkingTree.set_parent_trees()`` uses the trees to directly write
4518
the basis inventory, rather than going through the repository. This
4519
allows us to have 1 inventory read, and 2 inventory writes when
4520
committing a new tree. (John Arbash Meinel)
4521
4522
* When reverting, files that are not locally modified that do not exist
4523
in the target are deleted, not just unversioned (Aaron Bentley)
4524
4525
* When trying to acquire a lock, don't fail immediately. Instead, try
4526
a few times (up to 1 hour) before timing out. Also, report why the
4527
lock is unavailable (John Arbash Meinel, #43521, #49556)
4528
4529
* Leave HttpTransportBase daughter classes decides how they
4530
implement cloning. (Vincent Ladeuil, #61606)
4531
4532
* diff3 does not indicate conflicts on clean merge. (Aaron Bentley)
4533
4534
* If a commit fails, the commit message is stored in a file at the root of
4535
the tree for later commit. (Cheuksan Edward Wang, Stefan Metzmacher,
4536
#32054)
4537
4538
TESTING:
4539
4540
* New test base class TestCaseWithMemoryTransport offers memory-only
4541
testing facilities: its not suitable for tests that need to mutate disk
4542
state, but most tests should not need that and should be converted to
4543
TestCaseWithMemoryTransport. (Robert Collins)
4544
4545
* ``TestCase.make_branch_and_memory_tree`` now takes a format
4546
option to set the BzrDir, Repository and Branch formats of the
4547
created objects. (Robert Collins, John Arbash Meinel)
4548
4549
bzr 0.11 2006-10-02

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

4563
4564
bzr 0.11rc1 2006-09-25
4565
-----------------------
4566
4567
IMPROVEMENTS:
4568
4569
* Knit files now wait to create their contents until the first data is
4570
added. The old code used to create an empty .knit and a .kndx with just
4571
the header. However, this caused a lot of extra round trips over sftp.
4572
This can change the time for ``bzr push`` to create a new remote branch
4573
from 160s down to 100s. This also affects ``bzr commit`` performance when
4574
adding new files, ``bzr commit`` on a new kernel-like tree drops from 50s
4575
down to 40s (John Arbash Meinel, #44692)
4576
4577
* When an entire subtree has been deleted, commit will now report that
4578
just the top of the subtree has been deleted, rather than reporting
4579
all the individual items. (Robert Collins)
4580
4581
* Commit performs one less XML parse. (Robert Collins)
4582
4583
* ``bzr checkout`` now operates on readonly branches as well
4584
as readwrite branches. This fixes bug #39542. (Robert Collins)
4585
4586
* ``bzr bind`` no longer synchronises history with the master branch.
4587
Binding should be followed by an update or push to synchronise the
4588
two branches. This is closely related to the fix for bug #39542.
4589
(Robert Collins)
4590
4591
* ``bzrlib.lazy_import.lazy_import`` function to create on-demand
4592
objects. This allows all imports to stay at the global scope, but
4593
modules will not actually be imported if they are not used.
4594
(John Arbash Meinel)
4595
4596
* Support ``bzr://`` and ``bzr+ssh://`` urls to work with the new RPC-based
4597
transport which will be used with the upcoming high-performance smart
4598
server. The new command ``bzr serve`` will invoke bzr in server mode,
4599
which processes these requests. (Andrew Bennetts, Robert Collins, Martin
4600
Pool)
4601
4602
* New command ``bzr version-info`` which can be used to get a summary
4603
of the current state of the tree. This is especially useful as part
4604
of a build commands. See ``doc/version_info.txt`` for more information

(John Arbash Meinel)
4606
4607
BUG FIXES:
4608
4609
* ``'bzr inventory [FILE...]'`` allows restricting the file list to a
4610
specific set of files. (John Arbash Meinel, #3631)
4611
4612
* Don't abort when annotating empty files (John Arbash Meinel, #56814)
4613
4614
* Add ``Stanza.to_unicode()`` which can be passed to another Stanza
4615
when nesting stanzas. Also, add ``read_stanza_unicode`` to handle when
4616
reading a nested Stanza. (John Arbash Meinel)
4617
4618
* Transform._set_mode() needs to stat the right file.
4619
(John Arbash Meinel, #56549)
4620
4621
* Raise WeaveFormatError rather than StopIteration when trying to read
4622
an empty Weave file. (John Arbash Meinel, #46871)
4623
4624
* Don't access e.code for generic URLErrors, only HTTPErrors have .code.
4625
(Vincent Ladeuil, #59835)
4626
4627
* Handle boundary="" lines properly to allow access through a Squid proxy.
4628
(John Arbash Meinel, #57723)
4629
4630
* revert now removes newly-added directories (Aaron Bentley, #54172)
4631
4632
* ``bzr upgrade sftp://`` shouldn't fail to upgrade v6 branches if there
4633
isn't a working tree. (David Allouche, #40679)
4634
4635
* Give nicer error messages when a user supplies an invalid --revision
4636
parameter. (John Arbash Meinel, #55420)
4637
4638
* Handle when LANG is not recognized by python. Emit a warning, but
4639
just revert to using 'ascii'. (John Arbash Meinel, #35392)
4640
4641
* Don't use ``preexec_fn`` on win32, as it is not supported by subprocess.
4642
(John Arbash Meinel)
4643
4644
* Skip specific tests when the dependencies aren't met. This includes
4645
some ``setup.py`` tests when ``python-dev`` is not available, and
4646
some tests that depend on paramiko. (John Arbash Meinel, Mattheiu Moy)
4647
4648
* Fallback to Paramiko properly, if no ``ssh`` executable exists on
4649
the system. (Andrew Bennetts, John Arbash Meinel)
4650
4651
* ``Branch.bind(other_branch)`` no longer takes a write lock on the
4652
other branch, and will not push or pull between the two branches.
4653
API users will need to perform a push or pull or update operation if they
4654
require branch synchronisation to take place. (Robert Collins, #47344)
4655
4656
* When creating a tarball or zipfile export, export unicode names as utf-8
4657
paths. This may not work perfectly on all platforms, but has the best
4658
chance of working in the common case. (John Arbash Meinel, #56816)
4659
4660
* When committing, only files that exist in working tree or basis tree
4661
may be specified (Aaron Bentley, #50793)
4662
4663
PORTABILITY:
4664
4665
* Fixes to run on Python 2.5 (Brian M. Carlson, Martin Pool, Marien Zwart)
4666
4667
INTERNALS:
4668
4669
* TestCaseInTempDir now creates a separate directory for HOME, rather
4670
than having HOME set to the same location as the working directory.
4671
(John Arbash Meinel)
4672
4673
* ``run_bzr_subprocess()`` can take an optional ``env_changes={}`` parameter,
4674
which will update os.environ inside the spawned child. It also can
4675
take a ``universal_newlines=True``, which helps when checking the output
4676
of the command. (John Arbash Meinel)
4677
4678
* Refactor SFTP vendors to allow easier re-use when ssh is used.
4679
(Andrew Bennetts)
4680
4681
* ``Transport.list_dir()`` and ``Transport.iter_files_recursive()`` should always
4682
return urlescaped paths. This is now tested (there were bugs in a few
4683
of the transports) (Andrew Bennetts, David Allouche, John Arbash Meinel)
4684
4685
* New utility function ``symbol_versioning.deprecation_string``. Returns the
4686
formatted string for a callable, deprecation format pair. (Robert Collins)
4687
4688
* New TestCase helper applyDeprecated. This allows you to call a callable
4689
which is deprecated without it spewing to the screen, just by supplying
4690
the deprecation format string issued for it. (Robert Collins)
4691
4692
* Transport.append and Transport.put have been deprecated in favor of
4693
``.append_bytes``, ``.append_file``, ``.put_bytes``, and
4694
``.put_file``. This removes the ambiguity in what type of object the
4695
functions take. ``Transport.non_atomic_put_{bytes,file}`` has also
4696
been added. Which works similarly to ``Transport.append()`` except for
4697
SFTP, it doesn't have a round trip when opening the file. Also, it
4698
provides functionality for creating a parent directory when trying
4699
to create a file, rather than raise NoSuchFile and forcing the
4700
caller to repeat their request.
4701
(John Arbash Meinel)
4702
4703
* WorkingTree has a new api ``unversion`` which allow the unversioning of
4704
entries by their file id. (Robert Collins)
4705
4706
* ``WorkingTree.pending_merges`` is deprecated. Please use the
4707
``get_parent_ids`` (introduced in 0.10) method instead. (Robert Collins)
4708
4709
* WorkingTree has a new ``lock_tree_write`` method which locks the branch for
4710
read rather than write. This is appropriate for actions which only need
4711
the branch data for reference rather than mutation. A new decorator
4712
``needs_tree_write_lock`` is provided in the workingtree module. Like the
4713
``needs_read_lock`` and ``needs_write_lock`` decorators this allows static
4714
declaration of the locking requirements of a function to ensure that
4715
a lock is taken out for casual scripts. (Robert Collins, #54107)
4716
4717
* All WorkingTree methods which write to the tree, but not to the branch
4718
have been converted to use ``needs_tree_write_lock`` rather than
4719
``needs_write_lock``. Also converted is the revert, conflicts and tree
4720
transform modules. This provides a modest performance improvement on
4721
metadir style trees, due to the reduce lock-acquisition, and a more
4722
significant performance improvement on lightweight checkouts from
4723
remote branches, where trivial operations used to pay a significant
4724
penalty. It also provides the basis for allowing readonly checkouts.
4725
(Robert Collins)
4726
4727
* Special case importing the standard library 'copy' module. This shaves
4728
off 40ms of startup time, while retaining compatibility. See:
4729
``bzrlib/inspect_for_copy.py`` for more details. (John Arbash Meinel)
4730
4731
* WorkingTree has a new parent class MutableTree which represents the
4732
specialisations of Tree which are able to be altered. (Robert Collins)
4733
4734
* New methods mkdir and ``put_file_bytes_non_atomic`` on MutableTree that
4735
mutate the tree and its contents. (Robert Collins)
4736
4737
* Transport behaviour at the root of the URL is now defined and tested.
4738
(Andrew Bennetts, Robert Collins)
4739
4740
TESTING:
4741
4742
* New test helper classs MemoryTree. This is typically accessed via
4743
``self.make_branch_and_memory_tree()`` in test cases. (Robert Collins)
4744
4745
* Add ``start_bzr_subprocess`` and ``stop_bzr_subprocess`` to allow test
4746
code to continue running concurrently with a subprocess of bzr.
4747
(Andrew Bennetts, Robert Collins)
4748
4749
* Add a new method ``Transport.get_smart_client()``. This is provided to
4750
allow upgrades to a richer interface than the VFS one provided by
4751
Transport. (Andrew Bennetts, Martin Pool)
4752
4753
bzr 0.10 2006-08-29
4754
--------------------
4755
4756
IMPROVEMENTS:
4757
* 'merge' now takes --uncommitted, to apply uncommitted changes from a
4758
tree. (Aaron Bentley)
4759
4760
* 'bzr add --file-ids-from' can be used to specify another path to use
4761
for creating file ids, rather than generating all new ones. Internally,
4762
the 'action' passed to ``smart_add_tree()`` can return ``file_ids`` that
4763
will be used, rather than having bzrlib generate new ones.
4764
(John Arbash Meinel, #55781)
4765
4766
* ``bzr selftest --benchmark`` now allows a ``--cache-dir`` parameter.
4767
This will cache some of the intermediate trees, and decrease the
4768
setup time for benchmark tests. (John Arbash Meinel)
4769
4770
* Inverse forms are provided for all boolean options. For example,
4771
--strict has --no-strict, --no-recurse has --recurse (Aaron Bentley)
4772
4773
* Serialize out Inventories directly, rather than using ElementTree.
4774
Writing out a kernel sized inventory drops from 2s down to ~350ms.
4775
(Robert Collins, John Arbash Meinel)
4776
4777
BUG FIXES:
4778
4779
* Help diffutils 2.8.4 get along with binary tests (Marien Zwart: #57614)
4780
4781
* Change LockDir so that if the lock directory doesn't exist when
4782
``lock_write()`` is called, an attempt will be made to create it.
4783
(John Arbash Meinel, #56974)
4784
4785
* ``bzr uncommit`` preserves pending merges. (John Arbash Meinel, #57660)
4786
4787
* Active FTP transport now works as intended. (ghozzy, #56472)
4788
4789
* Really fix mutter() so that it won't ever raise a UnicodeError.
4790
It means it is possible for ~/.bzr.log to contain non UTF-8 characters.
4791
But it is a debugging log, not a real user file.
4792
(John Arbash Meinel, #56947, #53880)
4793
4794
* Change Command handle to allow Unicode command and options.
4795
At present we cannot register Unicode command names, so we will get
4796
BzrCommandError('unknown command'), or BzrCommandError('unknown option')
4797
But that is better than a UnicodeError + a traceback.
4798
(John Arbash Meinel, #57123)
4799
4800
* Handle TZ=UTC properly when reading/writing revisions.
4801
(John Arbash Meinel, #55783, #56290)
4802
4803
* Use ``GPG_TTY`` to allow gpg --cl to work with gpg-agent in a pipeline,
4804
(passing text to sign in on stdin). (John Arbash Meinel, #54468)
4805
4806
* External diff does the right thing for binaries even in foreign
4807
languages. (John Arbash Meinel, #56307)
4808
4809
* Testament handles more cases when content is unicode. Specific bug was
4810
in handling of revision properties.
4811
(John Arbash Meinel, Holger Krekel, #54723)
4812
4813
* The bzr selftest was failing on installed versions due to a bug in a new
4814
test helper. (John Arbash Meinel, Robert Collins, #58057)
4815
4816
INTERNALS:
4817
4818
* ``bzrlib.cache_utf8`` contains ``encode()`` and ``decode()`` functions
4819
which can be used to cache the conversion between utf8 and Unicode.
4820
Especially helpful for some of the knit annotation code, which has to
4821
convert revision ids to utf8 to annotate lines in storage.
4822
(John Arbash Meinel)
4823
4824
* ``setup.py`` now searches the filesystem to find all packages which
4825
need to be installed. This should help make the life of packagers
4826
easier. (John Arbash Meinel)
4827
4828
bzr 0.9.0 2006-08-11
4829
---------------------
4830
4831
SURPRISES:
4832
4833
* The hard-coded built-in ignore rules have been removed. There are
4834
now two rulesets which are enforced. A user global one in
4835
``~/.bazaar/ignore`` which will apply to every tree, and the tree
4836
specific one '.bzrignore'.
4837
``~/.bazaar/ignore`` will be created if it does not exist, but with
4838
a more conservative list than the old default.
4839
This fixes bugs with default rules being enforced no matter what.
4840
The old list of ignore rules from bzr is available by
4841
running 'bzr ignore --old-default-rules'.
4842
(Robert Collins, Martin Pool, John Arbash Meinel)
4843
4844
* 'branches.conf' has been changed to 'locations.conf', since it can apply
4845
to more locations than just branch locations.
4846
(Aaron Bentley)
4847
4848
IMPROVEMENTS:
4849
4850
* The revision specifier "revno:" is extended to accept the syntax
4851
revno:N:branch. For example,
4852
revno:42:http://bazaar-vcs.org/bzr/bzr.dev/ means revision 42 in
4853
bzr.dev. (Matthieu Moy)
4854
4855
* Tests updates to ensure proper URL handling, UNICODE support, and
4856
proper printing when the user's terminal encoding cannot display
4857
the path of a file that has been versioned.
4858
``bzr branch`` can take a target URL rather than only a local directory.
4859
``Branch.get_parent()/set_parent()`` now save a relative path if possible,
4860
and normalize the parent based on root, allowing access across
4861
different transports. (John Arbash Meinel, Wouter van Heyst, Martin Pool)
4862
(Malone #48906, #42699, #40675, #5281, #3980, #36363, #43689,
4863
#42517, #42514)
4864
4865
* On Unix, detect terminal width using an ioctl not just $COLUMNS.
4866
Use terminal width for single-line logs from ``bzr log --line`` and
4867
pending-merge display. (Robert Widhopf-Fenk, Gustavo Niemeyer)
4868
(Malone #3507)
4869
4870
* On Windows, detect terminal width using GetConsoleScreenBufferInfo.
4871
(Alexander Belchenko)
4872
4873
* Speedup improvement for 'date:'-revision search. (Guillaume Pinot).
4874
4875
* Show the correct number of revisions pushed when pushing a new branch.
4876
(Robert Collins).
4877
4878
* 'bzr selftest' now shows a progress bar with the number of tests, and
4879
progress made. 'make check' shows tests in -v mode, to be more useful
4880
for the PQM status window. (Robert Collins).
4881
When using a progress bar, failed tests are printed out, rather than
4882
being overwritten by the progress bar until the suite finishes.
4883
(John Arbash Meinel)
4884
4885
* 'bzr selftest --benchmark' will run a new benchmarking selftest.
4886
'bzr selftest --benchmark --lsprof-timed' will use lsprofile to generate
4887
profile data for the individual profiled calls, allowing for fine
4888
grained analysis of performance.
4889
(Robert Collins, Martin Pool).
4890
4891
* 'bzr commit' shows a progress bar. This is useful for commits over sftp
4892
where commit can take an appreciable time. (Robert Collins)
4893
4894
* 'bzr add' is now less verbose in telling you what ignore globs were
4895
matched by files being ignored. Instead it just tells you how many
4896
were ignored (because you might reasonably be expecting none to be
4897
ignored). 'bzr add -v' is unchanged and will report every ignored
4898
file. (Robert Collins).
4899
4900
* ftp now has a test server if medusa is installed. As part of testing,
4901
ftp support has been improved, including support for supplying a
4902
non-standard port. (John Arbash Meinel).
4903
4904
* 'bzr log --line' shows the revision number, and uses only the
4905
first line of the log message (#5162, Alexander Belchenko;
4906
Matthieu Moy)
4907
4908
* 'bzr status' has had the --all option removed. The 'bzr ls' command
4909
should be used to retrieve all versioned files. (Robert Collins)
4910
4911
* 'bzr bundle OTHER/BRANCH' will create a bundle which can be sent
4912
over email, and applied on the other end, while maintaining ancestry.
4913
This bundle can be applied with either 'bzr merge' or 'bzr pull',
4914
the same way you would apply another branch.
4915
(John Arbash Meinel, Aaron Bentley)
4916
4917
* 'bzr whoami' can now be used to set your identity from the command line,
4918
for a branch or globally. (Robey Pointer)
4919
4920
* 'bzr checkout' now aliased to 'bzr co', and 'bzr annotate' to 'bzr ann'.
4921
(Michael Ellerman)
4922
4923
* 'bzr revert DIRECTORY' now reverts the contents of the directory as well.
4924
(Aaron Bentley)
4925
4926
* 'bzr get sftp://foo' gives a better error when paramiko is not present.
4927
Also updates things like 'http+pycurl://' if pycurl is not present.
4928
(John Arbash Meinel) (Malone #47821, #52204)
4929
4930
* New env variable ``BZR_PROGRESS_BAR``, sets the default progress bar type.
4931
Can be set to 'none' or 'dummy' to disable the progress bar, 'dots' or
4932
'tty' to create the respective type. (John Arbash Meinel, #42197, #51107)
4933
4934
* Improve the help text for 'bzr diff' to explain what various options do.
4935
(John Arbash Meinel, #6391)
4936
4937
* 'bzr uncommit -r 10' now uncommits revisions 11.. rather than uncommitting
4938
revision 10. This makes -r10 more in line with what other commands do.
4939
'bzr uncommit' also now saves the pending merges of the revisions that
4940
were removed. So it is safe to uncommit after a merge, fix something,
4941
and commit again. (John Arbash Meinel, #32526, #31426)
4942
4943
* 'bzr init' now also works on remote locations.
4944
(Wouter van Heyst, #48904)
4945
4946
* HTTP support has been updated. When using pycurl we now support
4947
connection keep-alive, which reduces dns requests and round trips.
4948
And for both urllib and pycurl we support multi-range requests,
4949
which decreases the number of round-trips. Performance results for
4950
``bzr branch http://bazaar-vcs.org/bzr/bzr.dev/`` indicate
4951
http branching is now 2-3x faster, and ``bzr pull`` in an existing
4952
branch is as much as 4x faster.
4953
(Michael Ellerman, Johan Rydberg, John Arbash Meinel, #46768)
4954
4955
* Performance improvements for sftp. Branching and pulling are now up to
4956
2x faster. Utilize paramiko.readv() support for async requests if it
4957
is available (paramiko > 1.6) (John Arbash Meinel)
4958
4959
BUG FIXES:
4960
4961
* Fix shadowed definition of TestLocationConfig that caused some
4962
tests not to run.
4963
(Erik Bågfors, Michael Ellerman, Martin Pool, #32587)
4964
4965
* Fix unnecessary requirement of sign-my-commits that it be run from
4966
a working directory. (Martin Pool, Robert Collins)
4967
4968
* 'bzr push location' will only remember the push location if it succeeds
4969
in connecting to the remote location. (John Arbash Meinel, #49742)
4970
4971
* 'bzr revert' no longer toggles the executable bit on win32
4972
(John Arbash Meinel, #45010)
4973
4974
* Handle broken pipe under win32 correctly. (John Arbash Meinel)
4975
4976
* sftp tests now work correctly on win32 if you have a newer paramiko
4977
(John Arbash Meinel)
4978
4979
* Cleanup win32 test suite, and general cleanup of places where
4980
file handles were being held open. (John Arbash Meinel)
4981
4982
* When specifying filenames for 'diff -r x..y', the name of the file in the
4983
working directory can be used, even if its name is different in both x
4984
and y.
4985
4986
* File-ids containing single- or double-quotes are handled correctly by
4987
push. (Aaron Bentley, #52227)
4988
4989
* Normalize unicode filenames to ensure cross-platform consistency.
4990
(John Arbash Meinel, #43689)
4991
4992
* The argument parser can now handle '-' as an argument. Currently
4993
no code interprets it specially (it is mostly handled as a file named
4994
'-'). But plugins, and future operations can use it.
4995
(John Arbash meinel, #50984)
4996
4997
* Bundles can properly read binary files with a plain '\r' in them.
4998
(John Arbash Meinel, #51927)
4999
5000
* Tuning ``iter_entries()`` to be more efficient (John Arbash Meinel, #5444)
5001
5002
* Lots of win32 fixes (the test suite passes again).
5003
(John Arbash Meinel, #50155)
5004
5005
* Handle openbsd returning None for sys.getfilesystemencoding() (#41183)
5006
5007
* Support ftp APPE (append) to allow Knits to be used over ftp (#42592)
5008
5009
* Removals are only committed if they match the filespec (or if there is
5010
no filespec). (#46635, Aaron Bentley)
5011
5012
* smart-add recurses through all supplied directories
5013
(John Arbash Meinel, #52578)
5014
5015
* Make the bundle reader extra lines before and after the bundle text.
5016
This allows you to parse an email with the bundle inline.
5017
(John Arbash Meinel, #49182)
5018
5019
* Change the file id generator to squash a little bit more. Helps when
5020
working with long filenames on windows. (Also helps for unicode filenames
5021
not generating hidden files). (John Arbash Meinel, #43801)
5022
5023
* Restore terminal mode on C-c while reading sftp password. (#48923,
5024
Nicholas Allen, Martin Pool)
5025
5026
* Timestamps are rounded to 1ms, and revision entries can be recreated
5027
exactly. (John Arbash Meinel, Jamie Wilkinson, #40693)
5028
5029
* Branch.base has changed to a URL, but ~/.bazaar/locations.conf should
5030
use local paths, since it is user visible (John Arbash Meinel, #53653)
5031
5032
* ``bzr status foo`` when foo was unversioned used to cause a full delta
5033
to be generated (John Arbash Meinel, #53638)
5034
5035
* When reading revision properties, an empty value should be considered
5036
the empty string, not None (John Arbash Meinel, #47782)
5037
5038
* ``bzr diff --diff-options`` can now handle binary files being changed.
5039
Also, the output is consistent when --diff-options is not supplied.
5040
(John Arbash Meinel, #54651, #52930)
5041
5042
* Use the right suffixes for loading plugins (John Arbash Meinel, #51810)
5043
5044
* Fix ``Branch.get_parent()`` to handle the case when the parent is not
5045
accessible (John Arbash Meinel, #52976)
5046
5047
INTERNALS:
5048
5049
* Combine the ignore rules into a single regex rather than looping over
5050
them to reduce the threshold where N^2 behaviour occurs in operations
5051
like status. (Jan Hudec, Robert Collins).
5052
5053
* Appending to ``bzrlib.DEFAULT_IGNORE`` is now deprecated. Instead, use
5054
one of the add functions in bzrlib.ignores. (John Arbash Meinel)
5055
5056
* 'bzr push' should only push the ancestry of the current revision, not
5057
all of the history in the repository. This is especially important for
5058
shared repositories. (John Arbash Meinel)
5059
5060
* ``bzrlib.delta.compare_trees`` now iterates in alphabetically sorted order,
5061
rather than randomly walking the inventories. (John Arbash Meinel)
5062
5063
* Doctests are now run in temporary directories which are cleaned up when
5064
they finish, rather than using special ScratchDir/ScratchBranch objects.
5065
(Martin Pool)
5066
5067
* Split ``check`` into separate methods on the branch and on the repository,
5068
so that it can be specialized in ways that are useful or efficient for
5069
different formats. (Martin Pool, Robert Collins)
5070
5071
* Deprecate ``Repository.all_revision_ids``; most methods don't really need
5072
the global revision graph but only that part leading up to a particular
5073
revision. (Martin Pool, Robert Collins)
5074
5075
* Add a BzrDirFormat ``control_formats`` list which allows for control formats
5076
that do not use '.bzr' to store their data - i.e. '.svn', '.hg' etc.
5077
(Robert Collins, Jelmer Vernooij).
5078
5079
* ``bzrlib.diff.external_diff`` can be redirected to any file-like object.
5080
Uses subprocess instead of spawnvp.
5081
(James Henstridge, John Arbash Meinel, #4047, #48914)
5082
5083
* New command line option '--profile-imports', which will install a custom
5084
importer to log time to import modules and regex compilation time to
5085
sys.stderr (John Arbash Meinel)
5086
5087
* 'EmptyTree' is now deprecated, please use ``repository.revision_tree(None)``
5088
instead. (Robert Collins)
5089
5090
* "RevisionTree" is now in bzrlib/revisiontree.py. (Robert Collins)

5128
list of editors. (Olaf Conradi, #42904)
5129
5130
NEW FEATURES:

5147
bzr 0.8 2006-05-08
5148
-------------------
5149
5150
NOTES WHEN UPGRADING:
5151
5152
Release 0.8 of bzr introduces a new format for history storage, called
5153
'knit', as an evolution of to the 'weave' format used in 0.7. Local
5154
and remote operations are faster using knits than weaves. Several
5155
operations including 'init', 'init-repo', and 'upgrade' take a
5156
--format option that controls this. Branching from an existing branch
5157
will keep the same format.
5158
5159
It is possible to merge, pull and push between branches of different
5160
formats but this is slower than moving data between homogenous
5161
branches. It is therefore recommended (but not required) that you
5162
upgrade all branches for a project at the same time. Information on
5163
formats is shown by 'bzr info'.
5164
5165
bzr 0.8 now allows creation of 'repositories', which hold the history
5166
of files and revisions for several branches. Previously bzr kept all
5167
the history for a branch within the .bzr directory at the root of the
5168
branch, and this is still the default. To create a repository, use
5169
the new 'bzr init-repo' command. Branches exist as directories under
5170
the repository and contain just a small amount of information
5171
indicating the current revision of the branch.
5172
5173
bzr 0.8 also supports 'checkouts', which are similar to in cvs and
5174
subversion. Checkouts are associated with a branch (optionally in a
5175
repository), which contains all the historical information. The
5176
result is that a checkout can be deleted without losing any
5177
already-committed revisions. A new 'update' command is also available.
5178
5179
Repositories and checkouts are not supported with the 0.7 storage
5180
format. To use them you must upgrad to either knits, or to the
5181
'metaweave' format, which uses weaves but changes the .bzr directory
5182
arrangement.
5183
5184
5185
IMPROVEMENTS:
5186
5187
* Sftp paths can now be relative, or local, according to the lftp
5188
convention. Paths now take the form::
5189
5190
sftp://user:pass@host:port/~/relative/path
5191
or
5192
sftp://user:pass@host:port/absolute/path
5193
5194
* The FTP transport now tries to reconnect after a temporary
5195
failure. ftp put is made atomic. (Matthieu Moy)
5196
5197
* The FTP transport now maintains a pool of connections, and
5198
reuses them to avoid multiple connections to the same host (like
5199
sftp did). (Daniel Silverstone)
5200
5201
* The ``bzr_man.py`` file has been removed. To create the man page now,
5202
use ``./generate_docs.py man``. The new program can also create other files.
5203
Run ``python generate_docs.py --help`` for usage information.
5204
(Hans Ulrich Niedermann & James Blackwell).
5205
5206
* Man Page now gives full help (James Blackwell).
5207
Help also updated to reflect user config now being stored in .bazaar
5208
(Hans Ulrich Niedermann)
5209
5210
* It's now possible to set aliases in bazaar.conf (Erik Bågfors)
5211
5212
* Pull now accepts a --revision argument (Erik Bågfors)
5213
5214
* ``bzr re-sign`` now allows multiple revisions to be supplied on the command
5215
line. You can now use the following command to sign all of your old
5216
commits::
5217
5218
find .bzr/revision-store// -name my@email-* \
5219
| sed 's/.*\/\/..\///' \
5220
| xargs bzr re-sign
5221
5222
* Upgrade can now upgrade over the network. (Robert Collins)
5223
5224
* Two new commands 'bzr checkout' and 'bzr update' allow for CVS/SVN-alike
5225
behaviour. By default they will cache history in the checkout, but
5226
with --lightweight almost all data is kept in the master branch.
5227
(Robert Collins)
5228
5229
* 'revert' unversions newly-versioned files, instead of deleting them.
5230
5231
* 'merge' is more robust. Conflict messages have changed.
5232
5233
* 'merge' and 'revert' no longer clobber existing files that end in '~' or
5234
'.moved'.
5235
5236
* Default log format can be set in configuration and plugins can register
5237
their own formatters. (Erik Bågfors)
5238
5239
* New 'reconcile' command will check branch consistency and repair indexes
5240
that can become out of sync in pre 0.8 formats. (Robert Collins,
5241
Daniel Silverstone)
5242
5243
* New 'bzr init --format' and 'bzr upgrade --format' option to control
5244
what storage format is created or produced. (Robert Collins,
5245
Martin Pool)
5246
5247
* Add parent location to 'bzr info', if there is one. (Olaf Conradi)
5248
5249
* New developer commands 'weave-list' and 'weave-join'. (Martin Pool)
5250
5251
* New 'init-repository' command, plus support for repositories in 'init'
5252
and 'branch' (Aaron Bentley, Erik Bågfors, Robert Collins)
5253
5254
* Improve output of 'info' command. Show all relevant locations related to
5255
working tree, branch and repository. Use kibibytes for binary quantities.
5256
Fix off-by-one error in missing revisions of working tree. Make 'info'
5257
work on branches, repositories and remote locations. Show locations
5258
relative to the shared repository, if applicable. Show locking status
5259
of locations. (Olaf Conradi)
5260
5261
* Diff and merge now safely handle binary files. (Aaron Bentley)
5262
5263
* 'pull' and 'push' now normalise the revision history, so that any two
5264
branches with the same tip revision will have the same output from 'log'.
5265
(Robert Collins)
5266
5267
* 'merge' accepts --remember option to store parent location, like 'push'
5268
and 'pull'. (Olaf Conradi)
5269
5270
* bzr status and diff when files given as arguments do not exist
5271
in the relevant trees. (Martin Pool, #3619)
5272
5273
* Add '.hg' to the default ignore list. (Martin Pool)
5274
5275
* 'knit' is now the default disk format. This improves disk performance and
5276
utilization, increases incremental pull performance, robustness with SFTP
5277
and allows checkouts over SFTP to perform acceptably.
5278
The initial Knit code was contributed by Johan Rydberg based on a
5279
specification by Martin Pool.
5280
(Robert Collins, Aaron Bentley, Johan Rydberg, Martin Pool).
5281
5282
* New tool to generate all-in-one html version of the manual. (Alexander
5283
Belchenko)
5284
5285
* Hitting CTRL-C while doing an SFTP push will no longer cause stale locks
5286
to be left in the SFTP repository. (Robert Collins, Martin Pool).
5287
5288
* New option 'diff --prefix' to control how files are named in diff
5289
output, with shortcuts '-p0' and '-p1' corresponding to the options for
5290
GNU patch. (Alexander Belchenko, Goffredo Baroncelli, Martin Pool)
5291
5292
* Add --revision option to 'annotate' command. (Olaf Conradi)
5293
5294
* If bzr shows an unexpected revision-history after pulling (perhaps due
5295
to a reweave) it can now be corrected by 'bzr reconcile'.
5296
(Robert Collins)
5297
5298
CHANGES:
5299
5300
* Commit is now verbose by default, and shows changed filenames and the
5301
new revision number. (Robert Collins, Martin Pool)
5302
5303
* Unify 'mv', 'move', 'rename'. (Matthew Fuller, #5379)
5304
5305
* 'bzr -h' shows help. (Martin Pool, Ian Bicking, #35940)
5306
5307
* Make 'pull' and 'push' remember location on failure using --remember.
5308
(Olaf Conradi)
5309
5310
* For compatibility, make old format for using weaves inside metadir
5311
available as 'metaweave' format. Rename format 'metadir' to 'default'.
5312
Clean up help for option --format in commands 'init', 'init-repo' and
5313
'upgrade'. (Olaf Conradi)
5314
5315
INTERNALS:
5316
5317
* The internal storage of history, and logical branch identity have now
5318
been split into Branch, and Repository. The common locking and file
5319
management routines are now in bzrlib.lockablefiles.
5320
(Aaron Bentley, Robert Collins, Martin Pool)
5321
5322
* Transports can now raise DependencyNotPresent if they need a library
5323
which is not installed, and then another implementation will be
5324
tried. (Martin Pool)
5325
5326
* Remove obsolete (and no-op) `decode` parameter to `Transport.get`.
5327
(Martin Pool)
5328
5329
* Using Tree Transform for merge, revert, tree-building
5330
5331
* WorkingTree.create, Branch.create, ``WorkingTree.create_standalone``,
5332
Branch.initialize are now deprecated. Please see ``BzrDir.create_*`` for
5333
replacement API's. (Robert Collins)
5334
5335
* New BzrDir class represents the .bzr control directory and manages
5336
formatting issues. (Robert Collins)
5337
5338
* New repository.InterRepository class encapsulates Repository to
5339
Repository actions and allows for clean selection of optimised code
5340
paths. (Robert Collins)
5341
5342
* ``bzrlib.fetch.fetch`` and ``bzrlib.fetch.greedy_fetch`` are now
5343
deprecated, please use ``branch.fetch`` or ``repository.fetch``
5344
depending on your needs. (Robert Collins)
5345
5346
* deprecated methods now have a ``is_deprecated`` flag on them that can
5347
be checked, if you need to determine whether a given callable is
5348
deprecated at runtime. (Robert Collins)
5349
5350
* Progress bars are now nested - see
5351
``bzrlib.ui.ui_factory.nested_progress_bar``.
5352
(Robert Collins, Robey Pointer)
5353
5354
* New API call ``get_format_description()`` for each type of format.
5355
(Olaf Conradi)
5356
5357
* Changed ``branch.set_parent()`` to accept None to remove parent.
5358
(Olaf Conradi)
5359
5360
* Deprecated BzrError AmbiguousBase. (Olaf Conradi)
5361
5362
* WorkingTree.branch is now a read only property. (Robert Collins)
5363
5364
* bzrlib.ui.text.TextUIFactory now accepts a ``bar_type`` parameter which
5365
can be None or a factory that will create a progress bar. This is
5366
useful for testing or for overriding the bzrlib.progress heuristic.
5367
(Robert Collins)
5368
5369
* New API method ``get_physical_lock_status()`` to query locks present on a
5370
transport. (Olaf Conradi)
5371
5372
* Repository.reconcile now takes a thorough keyword parameter to allow
5373
requesting an indepth reconciliation, rather than just a data-loss
5374
check. (Robert Collins)
5375
5376
* ``bzrlib.ui.ui_factory protocol`` now supports ``get_boolean`` to prompt
5377
the user for yes/no style input. (Robert Collins)
5378
5379
TESTING:
5380
5381
* SFTP tests now shortcut the SSH negotiation, reducing test overhead
5382
for testing SFTP protocol support. (Robey Pointer)
5383
5384
* Branch formats are now tested once per implementation (see ``bzrlib.
5385
tests.branch_implementations``. This is analagous to the transport
5386
interface tests, and has been followed up with working tree,
5387
repository and BzrDir tests. (Robert Collins)
5388
5389
* New test base class TestCaseWithTransport provides a transport aware
5390
test environment, useful for testing any transport-interface using
5391
code. The test suite option --transport controls the transport used
5392
by this class (when its not being used as part of implementation
5393
contract testing). (Robert Collins)
5394
5395
* Close logging handler on disabling the test log. This will remove the
5396
handler from the internal list inside python's logging module,
5397
preventing shutdown from closing it twice. (Olaf Conradi)
5398
5399
* Move test case for uncommit to blackbox tests. (Olaf Conradi)
5400
5401
* ``run_bzr`` and ``run_bzr_captured`` now accept a 'stdin="foo"'
5402
parameter which will provide String("foo") to the command as its stdin.
5403

bzr 0.7 2006-01-09
5405
------------------
5406
5407
CHANGES:
5408
5409
* .bzrignore is excluded from exports, on the grounds that it's a bzr
5410
internal-use file and may not be wanted. (Jamie Wilkinson)
5411
5412
* The "bzr directories" command were removed in favor of the new
5413
--kind option to the "bzr inventory" command. To list all
5414
versioned directories, now use "bzr inventory --kind directory".
5415
(Johan Rydberg)
5416
5417
* Under Windows configuration directory is now ``%APPDATA%\bazaar\2.0``
5418
by default. (John Arbash Meinel)
5419
5420
* The parent of Bzr configuration directory can be set by ``BZR_HOME``
5421
environment variable. Now the path for it is searched in ``BZR_HOME``,
5422
then in HOME. Under Windows the order is: ``BZR_HOME``, ``APPDATA``
5423
(usually points to ``C:\Documents and Settings\User Name\Application Data``),
5424
``HOME``. (John Arbash Meinel)
5425
5426
* Plugins with the same name in different directories in the bzr plugin
5427
path are no longer loaded: only the first successfully loaded one is
5428
used. (Robert Collins)
5429
5430
* Use systems' external ssh command to open connections if possible.
5431
This gives better integration with user settings such as ProxyCommand.
5432
(James Henstridge)
5433
5434
* Permissions on files underneath .bzr/ are inherited from the .bzr
5435
directory. So for a shared repository, simply doing 'chmod -R g+w .bzr/'
5436
will mean that future file will be created with group write permissions.
5437
5438
* configure.in and config.guess are no longer in the builtin default
5439
ignore list.
5440
5441
* '.sw[nop]' pattern ignored, to ignore vim swap files for nameless
5442
files. (John Arbash Meinel, Martin Pool)
5443
5444
IMPROVEMENTS:
5445
5446
* "bzr INIT dir" now initializes the specified directory, and creates
5447
it if it does not exist. (John Arbash Meinel)
5448
5449
* New remerge command (Aaron Bentley)
5450
5451
* Better zsh completion script. (Steve Borho)
5452
5453
* 'bzr diff' now returns 1 when there are changes in the working
5454
tree. (Robert Collins)
5455
5456
* 'bzr push' now exists and can push changes to a remote location.
5457
This uses the transport infrastructure, and can store the remote
5458
location in the ~/.bazaar/branches.conf configuration file.
5459
(Robert Collins)
5460
5461
* Test directories are only kept if the test fails and the user requests
5462
that they be kept.
5463
5464
* Tweaks to short log printing
5465
5466
* Added branch nicks, new nick command, printing them in log output.
5467
(Aaron Bentley)
5468
5469
* If ``$BZR_PDB`` is set, pop into the debugger when an uncaught exception
5470
occurs. (Martin Pool)
5471
5472
* Accept 'bzr resolved' (an alias for 'bzr resolve'), as this is
5473
the same as Subversion. (Martin Pool)
5474
5475
* New ftp transport support (on ftplib), for ftp:// and aftp://
5476
URLs. (Daniel Silverstone)
5477
5478
* Commit editor temporary files now start with ``bzr_log.``, to allow
5479
text editors to match the file name and set up appropriate modes or
5480
settings. (Magnus Therning)
5481
5482
* Improved performance when integrating changes from a remote weave.
5483
(Goffredo Baroncelli)
5484
5485
* Sftp will attempt to cache the connection, so it is more likely that
5486
a connection will be reused, rather than requiring multiple password
5487
requests.
5488
5489
* bzr revno now takes an optional argument indicating the branch whose
5490
revno should be printed. (Michael Ellerman)
5491
5492
* bzr cat defaults to printing the last version of the file.
5493
(Matthieu Moy, #3632)
5494
5495
* New global option 'bzr --lsprof COMMAND' runs bzr under the lsprof
5496
profiler. (Denys Duchier)
5497
5498
* Faster commits by reading only the headers of affected weave files.
5499
(Denys Duchier)
5500
5501
* 'bzr add' now takes a --dry-run parameter which shows you what would be
5502
added, but doesn't actually add anything. (Michael Ellerman)
5503
5504
* 'bzr add' now lists how many files were ignored per glob. add --verbose
5505
lists the specific files. (Aaron Bentley)
5506
5507
* 'bzr missing' now supports displaying changes in diverged trees and can
5508
be limited to show what either end of the comparison is missing.
5509
(Aaron Bently, with a little prompting from Daniel Silverstone)
5510
5511
BUG FIXES:
5512
5513
* SFTP can walk up to the root path without index errors. (Robert Collins)
5514
5515
* Fix bugs in running bzr with 'python -O'. (Martin Pool)
5516
5517
* Error when run with -OO
5518
5519
* Fix bug in reporting http errors that don't have an http error code.
5520
(Martin Pool)
5521
5522
* Handle more cases of pipe errors in display commands
5523
5524
* Change status to 3 for all errors
5525
5526
* Files that are added and unlinked before committing are completely
5527
ignored by diff and status
5528
5529
* Stores with some compressed texts and some uncompressed texts are now
5530
able to be used. (John A Meinel)
5531
5532
* Fix for bzr pull failing sometimes under windows
5533
5534
* Fix for sftp transport under windows when using interactive auth
5535
5536
* Show files which are both renamed and modified as such in 'bzr
5537
status' output. (Daniel Silverstone, #4503)
5538
5539
* Make annotate cope better with revisions committed without a valid
5540
email address. (Marien Zwart)
5541
5542
* Fix representation of tab characters in commit messages.
5543
(Harald Meland)
5544
5545
* List of plugin directories in ``BZR_PLUGIN_PATH`` environment variable is
5546
now parsed properly under Windows. (Alexander Belchenko)
5547
5548
* Show number of revisions pushed/pulled/merged. (Robey Pointer)
5549
5550
* Keep a cached copy of the basis inventory to speed up operations
5551
that need to refer to it. (Johan Rydberg, Martin Pool)
5552
5553
* Fix bugs in bzr status display of non-ascii characters.
5554
(Martin Pool)
5555
5556
* Remove Makefile.in from default ignore list.
5557
(Tollef Fog Heen, Martin Pool, #6413)
5558
5559
* Fix failure in 'bzr added'. (Nathan McCallum, Martin Pool)
5560
5561
TESTING:
5562
5563
* Fix selftest asking for passwords when there are no SFTP keys.
5564
(Robey Pointer, Jelmer Vernooij)
5565
5566
* Fix selftest run with 'python -O'. (Martin Pool)
5567
5568
* Fix HTTP tests under Windows. (John Arbash Meinel)
5569
5570
* Make tests work even if HOME is not set (Aaron Bentley)
5571
5572
* Updated ``build_tree`` to use fixed line-endings for tests which read
5573
the file cotents and compare. Make some tests use this to pass under
5574
Windows. (John Arbash Meinel)
5575
5576
* Skip stat and symlink tests under Windows. (Alexander Belchenko)
5577
5578
* Delay in selftest/testhashcash is now issued under win32 and Cygwin.
5579
(John Arbash Meinel)
5580
5581
* Use terminal width to align verbose test output. (Martin Pool)
5582
5583
* Blackbox tests are maintained within the bzrlib.tests.blackbox directory.
5584
If adding a new test script please add that to
5585
``bzrlib.tests.blackbox.__init__``. (Robert Collins)
5586
5587
* Much better error message if one of the test suites can't be
5588
imported. (Martin Pool)
5589
5590
* Make check now runs the test suite twice - once with the default locale,
5591
and once with all locales forced to C, to expose bugs. This is not
5592
trivially done within python, so for now its only triggered by running
5593
Make check. Integrators and packagers who wish to check for full
5594
platform support should run 'make check' to test the source.
5595
(Robert Collins)
5596
5597
* Tests can now run TestSkipped if they can't execute for any reason.
5598
(Martin Pool) (NB: TestSkipped should only be raised for correctable
5599
reasons - see the wiki spec ImprovingBzrTestSuite).
5600
5601
* Test sftp with relative, absolute-in-homedir and absolute-not-in-homedir
5602
paths for the transport tests. Introduce blackbox remote sftp tests that
5603
test the same permutations. (Robert Collins, Robey Pointer)
5604
5605
* Transport implementation tests are now independent of the local file
5606
system, which allows tests for esoteric transports, and for features
5607
not available in the local file system. They also repeat for variations
5608
on the URL scheme that can introduce issues in the transport code,
5609
see bzrlib.transport.TransportTestProviderAdapter() for this.
5610
(Robert Collins).
5611
5612
* ``TestCase.build_tree`` uses the transport interface to build trees,
5613
pass in a transport parameter to give it an existing connection.
5614
(Robert Collins).
5615
5616
INTERNALS:
5617
5618
* WorkingTree.pull has been split across Branch and WorkingTree,
5619
to allow Branch only pulls. (Robert Collins)
5620
5621
* ``commands.display_command`` now returns the result of the decorated
5622
function. (Robert Collins)
5623
5624
* LocationConfig now has a ``set_user_option(key, value)`` call to save
5625
a setting in its matching location section (a new one is created
5626
if needed). (Robert Collins)
5627
5628
* Branch has two new methods, ``get_push_location`` and
5629
``set_push_location`` to respectively, get and set the push location.
5630
(Robert Collins)
5631
5632
* ``commands.register_command`` now takes an optional flag to signal that
5633
the registrant is planning to decorate an existing command. When
5634
given multiple plugins registering a command is not an error, and
5635
the original command class (whether built in or a plugin based one) is
5636
returned to the caller. There is a new error 'MustUseDecorated' for
5637
signalling when a wrapping command should switch to the original
5638
version. (Robert Collins)
5639
5640
* Some option parsing errors will raise 'BzrOptionError', allowing
5641
granular detection for decorating commands. (Robert Collins).
5642
5643
* ``Branch.read_working_inventory`` has moved to
5644
``WorkingTree.read_working_inventory``. This necessitated changes to
5645
``Branch.get_root_id``, and a move of ``Branch.set_inventory`` to
5646
WorkingTree as well. To make it clear that a WorkingTree cannot always
5647
be obtained ``Branch.working_tree()`` will raise
5648
``errors.NoWorkingTree`` if one cannot be obtained. (Robert Collins)
5649
5650
* All pending merges operations from Branch are now on WorkingTree.
5651
(Robert Collins)
5652
5653
* The follow operations from Branch have moved to WorkingTree::
5654
5655
add()
5656
commit()
5657
move()
5658
rename_one()
5659
unknowns()
5660
5661
(Robert Collins)
5662
5663
* ``bzrlib.add.smart_add_branch`` is now ``smart_add_tree``. (Robert Collins)
5664
5665
* New "rio" serialization format, similar to rfc-822. (Martin Pool)
5666
5667
* Rename selftests to ``bzrlib.tests.test_foo``. (John A Meinel, Martin
5668
Pool)
5669
5670
* ``bzrlib.plugin.all_plugins`` has been changed from an attribute to a
5671
query method. (Robert Collins)
5672
5673
* New options to read only the table-of-contents of a weave.
5674
(Denys Duchier)
5675
5676
* Raise NoSuchFile when someone tries to add a non-existant file.
5677
(Michael Ellerman)
5678
5679
* Simplify handling of DivergedBranches in ``cmd_pull()``.
5680
(Michael Ellerman)
5681
5682
* Branch.controlfile* logic has moved to lockablefiles.LockableFiles, which
5683
is exposed as ``Branch().control_files``. Also this has been altered with the
5684
controlfile pre/suffix replaced by simple method names like 'get' and
5685
'put'. (Aaron Bentley, Robert Collins).
5686
5687
* Deprecated functions and methods can now be marked as such using the
5688
``bzrlib.symbol_versioning`` module. Marked method have their docstring
5689
updated and will issue a DeprecationWarning using the warnings module
5690
when they are used. (Robert Collins)
5691
5692
* ``bzrlib.osutils.safe_unicode`` now exists to provide parameter coercion
5693
for functions that need unicode strings. (Robert Collins)
5694
5695
bzr 0.6 2005-10-28
5696
------------------
5697
5698
IMPROVEMENTS:
5699
5700
* pull now takes --verbose to show you what revisions are added or removed
5701
(John A Meinel)
5702
5703
* merge now takes a --show-base option to include the base text in
5704
conflicts.
5705
(Aaron Bentley)
5706
5707
* The config files are now read using ConfigObj, so '=' should be used as
5708
a separator, not ':'.
5709
(Aaron Bentley)
5710
5711
* New 'bzr commit --strict' option refuses to commit if there are
5712
any unknown files in the tree. To commit, make sure all files are
5713
either ignored, added, or deleted. (Michael Ellerman)
5714
5715
* The config directory is now ~/.bazaar, and there is a single file
5716
~/.bazaar/bazaar.conf storing email, editor and other preferences.
5717
(Robert Collins)
5718
5719
* 'bzr add' no longer takes a --verbose option, and a --quiet option
5720
has been added that suppresses all output.
5721
5722
* Improved zsh completion support in contrib/zsh, from Clint
5723
Adams.
5724
5725
* Builtin 'bzr annotate' command, by Martin Pool with improvements from
5726
Goffredo Baroncelli.
5727
5728
* 'bzr check' now accepts -v for verbose reporting, and checks for
5729
ghosts in the branch. (Robert Collins)
5730
5731
* New command 're-sign' which will regenerate the gpg signature for
5732
a revision. (Robert Collins)
5733
5734
* If you set ``check_signatures=require`` for a path in
5735
``~/.bazaar/branches.conf`` then bzr will invoke your
5736
``gpg_signing_command`` (defaults to gpg) and record a digital signature
5737
of your commit. (Robert Collins)
5738
5739
* New sftp transport, based on Paramiko. (Robey Pointer)
5740
5741
* 'bzr pull' now accepts '--clobber' which will discard local changes
5742
and make this branch identical to the source branch. (Robert Collins)
5743
5744
* Just give a quieter warning if a plugin can't be loaded, and
5745
put the details in .bzr.log. (Martin Pool)
5746
5747
* 'bzr branch' will now set the branch-name to the last component of the
5748
output directory, if one was supplied.
5749
5750
* If the option ``post_commit`` is set to one (or more) python function
5751
names (must be in the bzrlib namespace), then they will be invoked
5752
after the commit has completed, with the branch and ``revision_id`` as
5753
parameters. (Robert Collins)
5754
5755
* Merge now has a retcode of 1 when conflicts occur. (Robert Collins)
5756
5757
* --merge-type weave is now supported for file contents. Tree-shape
5758
changes are still three-way based. (Martin Pool, Aaron Bentley)
5759
5760
* 'bzr check' allows the first revision on revision-history to have
5761
parents - something that is expected for cheap checkouts, and occurs
5762
when conversions from baz do not have all history. (Robert Collins).
5763
5764
* 'bzr merge' can now graft unrelated trees together, if your specify
5765
0 as a base. (Aaron Bentley)
5766
5767
* 'bzr commit branch' and 'bzr commit branch/file1 branch/file2' now work
5768
(Aaron Bentley)
5769
5770
* Add '.sconsign*' to default ignore list. (Alexander Belchenko)
5771
5772
* 'bzr merge --reprocess' minimizes conflicts
5773
5774
TESTING:
5775
5776
* The 'bzr selftest --pattern' option for has been removed, now
5777
test specifiers on the command line can be simple strings, or
5778
regexps, or both. (Robert Collins)
5779
5780
* Passing -v to selftest will now show the time each test took to
5781
complete, which will aid in analysing performance regressions and
5782
related questions. (Robert Collins)
5783
5784
* 'bzr selftest' runs all tests, even if one fails, unless '--one'
5785
is given. (Martin Pool)
5786
5787
* There is a new method for TestCaseInTempDir, assertFileEqual, which
5788
will check that a given content is equal to the content of the named
5789
file. (Robert Collins)
5790
5791
* Fix test suite's habit of leaving many temporary log files in $TMPDIR.
5792
(Martin Pool)
5793
5794
INTERNALS:
5795
5796
* New 'testament' command and concept for making gpg-signatures
5797
of revisions that are not tied to a particular internal
5798
representation. (Martin Pool).
5799
5800
* Per-revision properties ('revprops') as key-value associated
5801
strings on each revision created when the revision is committed.
5802
Intended mainly for the use of external tools. (Martin Pool).
5803
5804
* Config options have moved from bzrlib.osutils to bzrlib.config.
5805
(Robert Collins)
5806
5807
* Improved command line option definitions allowing explanations
5808
for individual options, among other things. Contributed by
5809
Magnus Therning.
5810
5811
* Config options have moved from bzrlib.osutils to bzrlib.config.
5812
Configuration is now done via the config.Config interface:
5813
Depending on whether you have a Branch, a Location or no information
5814
available, construct a ``*Config``, and use its ``signature_checking``,
5815
``username`` and ``user_email`` methods. (Robert Collins)
5816
5817
* Plugins are now loaded under bzrlib.plugins, not bzrlib.plugin, and
5818
they are made available for other plugins to use. You should not
5819
import other plugins during the ``__init__`` of your plugin though, as
5820
no ordering is guaranteed, and the plugins directory is not on the
5821
python path. (Robert Collins)
5822
5823
* Branch.relpath has been moved to WorkingTree.relpath. WorkingTree no
5824
no longer takes an inventory, rather it takes an option branch
5825
parameter, and if None is given will open the branch at basedir
5826
implicitly. (Robert Collins)
5827
5828
* Cleaner exception structure and error reporting. Suggested by
5829
Scott James Remnant. (Martin Pool)
5830
5831
* Branch.remove has been moved to WorkingTree, which has also gained
5832
``lock_read``, ``lock_write`` and ``unlock`` methods for convenience.
5833
(Robert Collins)
5834
5835
* Two decorators, ``needs_read_lock`` and ``needs_write_lock`` have been
5836
added to the branch module. Use these to cause a function to run in a
5837
read or write lock respectively. (Robert Collins)
5838
5839
* ``Branch.open_containing`` now returns a tuple (Branch, relative-path),
5840
which allows direct access to the common case of 'get me this file
5841
from its branch'. (Robert Collins)
5842
5843
* Transports can register using ``register_lazy_transport``, and they
5844
will be loaded when first used. (Martin Pool)
5845
5846
* 'pull' has been factored out of the command as ``WorkingTree.pull()``.
5847
A new option to WorkingTree.pull has been added, clobber, which will
5848
ignore diverged history and pull anyway.
5849
(Robert Collins)
5850
5851
* config.Config has a ``get_user_option`` call that accepts an option name.
5852
This will be looked up in branches.conf and bazaar.conf as normal.
5853
It is intended that this be used by plugins to support options -
5854
options of built in programs should have specific methods on the config.
5855
(Robert Collins)
5856
5857
* ``merge.merge_inner`` now has tempdir as an optional parameter.
5858
(Robert Collins)
5859
5860
* Tree.kind is not recorded at the top level of the hierarchy, as it was
5861
missing on EmptyTree, leading to a bug with merge on EmptyTrees.
5862
(Robert Collins)
5863
5864
* ``WorkingTree.__del__`` has been removed, it was non deterministic and not
5865
doing what it was intended to. See ``WorkingTree.__init__`` for a comment
5866
about future directions. (Robert Collins/Martin Pool)
5867
5868
* bzrlib.transport.http has been modified so that only 404 urllib errors
5869
are returned as NoSuchFile. Other exceptions will propogate as normal.
5870
This allows debuging of actual errors. (Robert Collins)
5871
5872
* bzrlib.transport.Transport now accepts *ONLY* url escaped relative paths
5873
to apis like 'put', 'get' and 'has'. This is to provide consistent
5874
behaviour - it operates on url's only. (Robert Collins)
5875
5876
* Transports can register using ``register_lazy_transport``, and they
5877
will be loaded when first used. (Martin Pool)
5878
5879
* ``merge_flex`` no longer calls ``conflict_handler.finalize()``, instead that
5880
is called by ``merge_inner``. This is so that the conflict count can be
5881
retrieved (and potentially manipulated) before returning to the caller
5882
of ``merge_inner``. Likewise 'merge' now returns the conflict count to the
5883
caller. (Robert Collins)
5884
5885
* ``revision.revision_graph`` can handle having only partial history for
5886
a revision - that is no revisions in the graph with no parents.
5887
(Robert Collins).
5888
5889
* New ``builtins.branch_files`` uses the standard ``file_list`` rules to
5890
produce a branch and a list of paths, relative to that branch
5891
(Aaron Bentley)
5892
5893
* New TestCase.addCleanup facility.
5894
5895
* New ``bzrlib.version_info`` tuple (similar to ``sys.version_info``),
5896
which can be used by programs importing bzrlib.
5897
5898
BUG FIXES:
5899
5900
* Better handling of branches in directories with non-ascii names.
5901
(Joel Rosdahl, Panagiotis Papadakos)
5902
5903
* Upgrades of trees with no commits will not fail due to accessing
5904
[-1] in the revision-history. (Andres Salomon)
5905
5906
5907
bzr 0.1.1 2005-10-12
5908
--------------------
5909
5910
BUG FIXES:
5911
5912
* Fix problem in pulling over http from machines that do not
5913
allow directories to be listed.
5914
5915
* Avoid harmless warning about invalid hash cache after
5916
upgrading branch format.
5917
5918
PERFORMANCE:
5919
5920
* Avoid some unnecessary http operations in branch and pull.
5921
5922
5923
bzr 0.1 2005-10-11
5924
------------------
5925
5926
NOTES:
5927
5928
* 'bzr branch' over http initially gives a very high estimate
5929
of completion time but it should fall as the first few
5930
revisions are pulled in. branch is still slow on
5931
high-latency connections.
5932
5933
BUG FIXES:
5934
5935
* bzr-man.py has been updated to work again. Contributed by
5936
Rob Weir.
5937
5938
* Locking is now done with fcntl.lockf which works with NFS
5939
file systems. Contributed by Harald Meland.
5940
5941
* When a merge encounters a file that has been deleted on
5942
one side and modified on the other, the old contents are
5943
written out to foo.BASE and foo.SIDE, where SIDE is this
5944
or OTHER. Contributed by Aaron Bentley.
5945
5946
* Export was choosing incorrect file paths for the content of
5947
the tarball, this has been fixed by Aaron Bentley.
5948
5949
* Commit will no longer commit without a log message, an
5950
error is returned instead. Contributed by Jelmer Vernooij.
5951
5952
* If you commit a specific file in a sub directory, any of its
5953
parent directories that are added but not listed will be
5954
automatically included. Suggested by Michael Ellerman.
5955
5956
* bzr commit and upgrade did not correctly record new revisions
5957
for files with only a change to their executable status.
5958
bzr will correct this when it encounters it. Fixed by
5959
Robert Collins
5960
5961
* HTTP tests now force off the use of ``http_proxy`` for the duration.
5962
Contributed by Gustavo Niemeyer.
5963
5964
* Fix problems in merging weave-based branches that have
5965
different partial views of history.
5966
5967
* Symlink support: working with symlinks when not in the root of a
5968
bzr tree was broken, patch from Scott James Remnant.
5969
5970
IMPROVEMENTS:
5971
5972
* 'branch' now accepts a --basis parameter which will take advantage
5973
of local history when making a new branch. This allows faster
5974
branching of remote branches. Contributed by Aaron Bentley.
5975
5976
* New tree format based on weave files, called version 5.
5977
Existing branches can be upgraded to this format using
5978
'bzr upgrade'.
5979
5980
* Symlinks are now versionable. Initial patch by
5981
Erik Toubro Nielsen, updated to head by Robert Collins.
5982
5983
* Executable bits are tracked on files. Patch from Gustavo
5984
Niemeyer.
5985
5986
* 'bzr status' now shows unknown files inside a selected directory.
5987
Patch from Heikki Paajanen.
5988
5989
* Merge conflicts are recorded in .bzr. Two new commands 'conflicts'
5990
and 'resolve' have needed added, which list and remove those
5991
merge conflicts respectively. A conflicted tree cannot be committed
5992
in. Contributed by Aaron Bentley.
5993
5994
* 'rm' is now an alias for 'remove'.
5995
5996
* Stores now split out their content in a single byte prefixed hash,
5997
dropping the density of files per directory by 256. Contributed by
5998
Gustavo Niemeyer.
5999
6000
* 'bzr diff -r branch:URL' will now perform a diff between two branches.
6001
Contributed by Robert Collins.
6002
6003
* 'bzr log' with the default formatter will show merged revisions,
6004
indented to the right. Initial implementation contributed by Gustavo
6005
Niemeyer, made incremental by Robert Collins.
6006
6007
6008
INTERNALS:
6009
6010
* Test case failures have the exception printed after the log
6011
for your viewing pleasure.
6012
6013
* InventoryEntry is now an abstract base class, use one of the
6014
concrete InventoryDirectory etc classes instead.
6015
6016
* Branch raises an UnsupportedFormatError when it detects a
6017
bzr branch it cannot understand. This allows for precise
6018
handling of such circumstances.
6019
6020
* Remove RevisionReference class; ``Revision.parent_ids`` is now simply a
6021
list of their ids and ``parent_sha1s`` is a list of their corresponding
6022
sha1s (for old branches only at the moment.)
6023
6024
* New method-object style interface for Commit() and Fetch().
6025
6026
* Renamed ``Branch.last_patch()`` to ``Branch.last_revision()``, since
6027
we call them revisions not patches.
6028
6029
* Move ``copy_branch`` to ``bzrlib.clone.copy_branch``. The destination
6030
directory is created if it doesn't exist.
6031
6032
* Inventories now identify the files which were present by
6033
giving the revision *of that file*.
6034
6035
* Inventory and Revision XML contains a version identifier.
6036
This must be consistent with the overall branch version
6037
but allows for more flexibility in future upgrades.
6038
6039
TESTING:
6040
6041
* Removed testsweet module so that tests can be run after
6042
bzr installed by 'bzr selftest'.
6043
6044
* 'bzr selftest' command-line arguments can now be partial ids
6045
of tests to run, e.g. ``bzr selftest test_weave``
6046
6047
6048
bzr 0.0.9 2005-09-23
6049
--------------------
6050
6051
BUG FIXES:
6052
6053
* Fixed "branch -r" option.
6054
6055
* Fix remote access to branches containing non-compressed history.
6056
(Robert Collins).
6057
6058
* Better reliability of http server tests. (John Arbash-Meinel)
6059
6060
* Merge graph maximum distance calculation fix. (Aaron Bentley)
6061
6062
* Various minor bug in windows support have been fixed, largely in the
6063
test suite. Contributed by Alexander Belchenko.
6064
6065
IMPROVEMENTS:
6066
6067
* Status now accepts a -r argument to give status between chosen
6068
revisions. Contributed by Heikki Paajanen.
6069
6070
* Revision arguments no longer use +/-/= to control ranges, instead
6071
there is a 'before' namespace, which limits the successive namespace.
6072
For example '$ bzr log -r date:yesterday..before:date:today' will
6073
select everything from yesterday and before today. Contributed by
6074
Robey Pointer
6075
6076
* There is now a bzr.bat file created by distutils when building on
6077
Windows. Contributed by Alexander Belchenko.
6078
6079
INTERNALS:
6080
6081
* Removed uuid() as it was unused.
6082
6083
* Improved 'fetch' code for pulling revisions from one branch into
6084
another (used by pull, merged, etc.)
6085
6086
6087
bzr 0.0.8 2005-09-20
6088
--------------------
6089
6090
IMPROVEMENTS:
6091
6092
* Adding a file whose parent directory is not versioned will
6093
implicitly add the parent, and so on up to the root. This means
6094
you should never need to explictly add a directory, they'll just
6095
get added when you add a file in the directory. Contributed by
6096
Michael Ellerman.
6097
6098
* Ignore ``.DS_Store`` (contains Mac metadata) by default.
6099
(Nir Soffer)
6100
6101
* If you set ``BZR_EDITOR`` in the environment, it is checked in
6102
preference to EDITOR and the config file for the interactive commit
6103
editing program. Related to this is a bugfix where a missing program
6104
set in EDITOR would cause editing to fail, now the fallback program
6105
for the operating system is still tried.
6106
6107
* Files that are not directories/symlinks/regular files will no longer
6108
cause bzr to fail, it will just ignore them by default. You cannot add
6109
them to the tree though - they are not versionable.
6110
6111
6112
INTERNALS:
6113
6114
* Refactor xml packing/unpacking.
6115
6116
BUG FIXES:
6117
6118
* Fixed 'bzr mv' by Ollie Rutherfurd.
6119
6120
* Fixed strange error when trying to access a nonexistent http
6121
branch.
6122
6123
* Make sure that the hashcache gets written out if it can't be
6124
read.
6125
6126
6127
PORTABILITY:
6128
6129
* Various Windows fixes from Ollie Rutherfurd.
6130
6131
* Quieten warnings about locking; patch from Matt Lavin.
6132
6133
6134
bzr-0.0.7 2005-09-02
6135
--------------------
6136
6137
NEW FEATURES:
6138
6139
* ``bzr shell-complete`` command contributed by Clint Adams to
6140
help with intelligent shell completion.
6141
6142
* New expert command ``bzr find-merge-base`` for debugging merges.
6143
6144
6145
ENHANCEMENTS:
6146
6147
* Much better merge support.
6148
6149
* merge3 conflicts are now reported with markers like '<<<<<<<'
6150
(seven characters) which is the same as CVS and pleases things
6151
like emacs smerge.
6152
6153
6154
BUG FIXES:
6155
6156
* ``bzr upgrade`` no longer fails when trying to fix trees that
6157
mention revisions that are not present.
6158
6159
* Fixed bugs in listing plugins from ``bzr plugins``.
6160
6161
* Fix case of $EDITOR containing options for the editor.
6162
6163
* Fix log -r refusing to show the last revision.
6164
(Patch from Goffredo Baroncelli.)
6165
6166
6167
CHANGES:
6168
6169
* ``bzr log --show-ids`` shows the revision ids of all parents.
6170
6171
* Externally provided commands on your $BZRPATH no longer need
6172
to recognize --bzr-usage to work properly, and can just handle
6173
--help themselves.
6174
6175
6176
LIBRARY:
6177
6178
* Changed trace messages to go through the standard logging
6179
framework, so that they can more easily be redirected by
6180
libraries.
6181
6182
6183
6184
bzr-0.0.6 2005-08-18
6185
--------------------
6186
6187
NEW FEATURES:
6188
6189
* Python plugins, automatically loaded from the directories on
6190
``BZR_PLUGIN_PATH`` or ``~/.bzr.conf/plugins`` by default.
6191
6192
* New 'bzr mkdir' command.
6193
6194
* Commit mesage is fetched from an editor if not given on the
6195
command line; patch from Torsten Marek.
6196
6197
* ``bzr log -m FOO`` displays commits whose message matches regexp
6198
FOO.
6199
6200
* ``bzr add`` with no arguments adds everything under the current directory.
6201
6202
* ``bzr mv`` does move or rename depending on its arguments, like
6203
the Unix command.
6204
6205
* ``bzr missing`` command shows a summary of the differences
6206
between two trees. (Merged from John Arbash-Meinel.)
6207
6208
* An email address for commits to a particular tree can be
6209
specified by putting it into .bzr/email within a branch. (Based
6210
on a patch from Heikki Paajanen.)
6211
6212
6213
ENHANCEMENTS:
6214
6215
* Faster working tree operations.
6216
6217
6218
CHANGES:
6219
6220
* 3rd-party modules shipped with bzr are copied within the bzrlib
6221
python package, so that they can be installed by the setup
6222
script without clashing with anything already existing on the
6223
system. (Contributed by Gustavo Niemeyer.)
6224
6225
* Moved plugins directory to bzrlib/, so that there's a standard
6226
plugin directory which is not only installed with bzr itself but
6227
is also available when using bzr from the development tree.
6228
``BZR_PLUGIN_PATH`` and ``DEFAULT_PLUGIN_PATH`` are then added to the
6229
standard plugins directory.
6230
6231
* When exporting to a tarball with ``bzr export --format tgz``, put
6232
everything under a top directory rather than dumping it into the
6233
current directory. This can be overridden with the ``--root``
6234
option. Patch from William Dodé and John Meinel.
6235
6236
* New ``bzr upgrade`` command to upgrade the format of a branch,
6237
replacing ``bzr check --update``.
6238
6239
* Files within store directories are no longer marked readonly on
6240
disk.
6241
6242
* Changed ``bzr log`` output to a more compact form suggested by
6243
John A Meinel. Old format is available with the ``--long`` or
6244
``-l`` option, patched by William Dodé.
6245
6246
* By default the commit command refuses to record a revision with
6247
no changes unless the ``--unchanged`` option is given.
6248
6249
* The ``--no-plugins``, ``--profile`` and ``--builtin`` command
6250
line options must come before the command name because they
6251
affect what commands are available; all other options must come
6252
after the command name because their interpretation depends on
6253
it.
6254
6255
* ``branch`` and ``clone`` added as aliases for ``branch``.
6256
6257
* Default log format is back to the long format; the compact one
6258
is available with ``--short``.
6259
6260
6261
BUG FIXES:
6262
6263
* Fix bugs in committing only selected files or within a subdirectory.
6264
6265
6266
bzr-0.0.5 2005-06-15
6267
---------------------
6268
6269
CHANGES:
6270
6271
* ``bzr`` with no command now shows help rather than giving an
6272
error. Suggested by Michael Ellerman.
6273
6274
* ``bzr status`` output format changed, because svn-style output
6275
doesn't really match the model of bzr. Now files are grouped by
6276
status and can be shown with their IDs. ``bzr status --all``
6277
shows all versioned files and unknown files but not ignored files.
6278
6279
* ``bzr log`` runs from most-recent to least-recent, the reverse
6280
of the previous order. The previous behaviour can be obtained
6281
with the ``--forward`` option.
6282
6283
* ``bzr inventory`` by default shows only filenames, and also ids
6284
if ``--show-ids`` is given, in which case the id is the second
6285
field.
6286
6287
6288
ENHANCEMENTS:
6289
6290
* New 'bzr whoami --email' option shows only the email component
6291
of the user identification, from Jo Vermeulen.
6292
6293
* New ``bzr ignore PATTERN`` command.
6294
6295
* Nicer error message for broken pipe, interrupt and similar
6296
conditions that don't indicate an internal error.
6297
6298
* Add ``.*.sw[nop] .git .*.tmp *,v`` to default ignore patterns.
6299
6300
* Per-branch locks keyed on ``.bzr/branch-lock``, available in
6301
either read or write mode.
6302
6303
* New option ``bzr log --show-ids`` shows revision and file ids.
6304
6305
* New usage ``bzr log FILENAME`` shows only revisions that
6306
affected that file.
6307
6308
* Changed format for describing changes in ``bzr log -v``.
6309
6310
* New option ``bzr commit --file`` to take a message from a file,
6311
suggested by LarstiQ.
6312
6313
* New syntax ``bzr status [FILE...]`` contributed by Bartosz
6314
Oler. File may be in a branch other than the working directory.
6315
6316
* ``bzr log`` and ``bzr root`` can be given an http URL instead of
6317
a filename.
6318
6319
* Commands can now be defined by external programs or scripts
6320
in a directory on $BZRPATH.
6321
6322
* New "stat cache" avoids reading the contents of files if they
6323
haven't changed since the previous time.
6324
6325
* If the Python interpreter is too old, try to find a better one
6326
or give an error. Based on a patch from Fredrik Lundh.
6327
6328
* New optional parameter ``bzr info [BRANCH]``.
6329
6330
* New form ``bzr commit SELECTED`` to commit only selected files.
6331
6332
* New form ``bzr log -r FROM:TO`` shows changes in selected
6333
range; contributed by John A Meinel.
6334
6335
* New option ``bzr diff --diff-options 'OPTS'`` allows passing
6336
options through to an external GNU diff.
6337
6338
* New option ``bzr add --no-recurse`` to add a directory but not
6339
their contents.
6340
6341
* ``bzr --version`` now shows more information if bzr is being run
6342
from a branch.
6343
6344
6345
BUG FIXES:
6346
6347
* Fixed diff format so that added and removed files will be
6348
handled properly by patch. Fix from Lalo Martins.
6349
6350
* Various fixes for files whose names contain spaces or other
6351
metacharacters.
6352
6353
6354
TESTING:
6355
6356
* Converted black-box test suites from Bourne shell into Python;
6357
now run using ``./testbzr``. Various structural improvements to
6358
the tests.
6359
6360
* testbzr by default runs the version of bzr found in the same
6361
directory as the tests, or the one given as the first parameter.
6362
6363
* testbzr also runs the internal tests, so the only command
6364
required to check is just ``./testbzr``.
6365
6366
* testbzr requires python2.4, but can be used to test bzr running
6367
under a different version.
6368
6369
* Tests added for many other changes in this release.
6370
6371
6372
INTERNAL:
6373
6374
* Included ElementTree library upgraded to 1.2.6 by Fredrik Lundh.
6375
6376
* Refactor command functions into Command objects based on HCT by
6377
Scott James Remnant.
6378
6379
* Better help messages for many commands.
6380
6381
* Expose ``bzrlib.open_tracefile()`` to start the tracefile; until
6382
this is called trace messages are just discarded.
6383
6384
* New internal function ``find_touching_revisions()`` and hidden
6385
command touching-revisions trace the changes to a given file.
6386
6387
* Simpler and faster ``compare_inventories()`` function.
6388
6389
* ``bzrlib.open_tracefile()`` takes a tracefilename parameter.
6390
6391
* New AtomicFile class.
6392
6393
* New developer commands ``added``, ``modified``.
6394
6395
6396
PORTABILITY:
6397
6398
* Cope on Windows on python2.3 by using the weaker random seed.
6399
2.4 is now only recommended.

6402
bzr-0.0.4 2005-04-22
6403
---------------------
6404
6405
ENHANCEMENTS:
6406
6407
* 'bzr diff' optionally takes a list of files to diff. Still a bit
6408
basic. Patch from QuantumG.
6409
6410
* More default ignore patterns.
6411
6412
* New 'bzr log --verbose' shows a list of files changed in the
6413
changeset. Patch from Sebastian Cote.
6414
6415
* Roll over ~/.bzr.log if it gets too large.
6416
6417
* Command abbreviations 'ci', 'st', 'stat', '?' based on a patch
6418
by Jason Diamon.
6419
6420
* New 'bzr help commands' based on a patch from Denys Duchier.
6421
6422
6423
CHANGES:
6424
6425
* User email is determined by looking at $BZREMAIL or ~/.bzr.email
6426
or $EMAIL. All are decoded by the locale preferred encoding.
6427
If none of these are present user@hostname is used. The host's
6428
fully-qualified name is not used because that tends to fail when
6429
there are DNS problems.
6430
6431
* New 'bzr whoami' command instead of username user-email.
6432
6433
6434
BUG FIXES:
6435
6436
* Make commit safe for hardlinked bzr trees.
6437
6438
* Some Unicode/locale fixes.
6439
6440
* Partial workaround for ``difflib.unified_diff`` not handling
6441
trailing newlines properly.
6442
6443
6444
INTERNAL:
6445
6446
* Allow docstrings for help to be in PEP0257 format. Patch from
6447
Matt Brubeck.
6448
6449
* More tests in test.sh.
6450
6451
* Write profile data to a temporary file not into working
6452
directory and delete it when done.
6453
6454
* Smaller .bzr.log with process ids.
6455
6456
6457
PORTABILITY:
6458
6459
* Fix opening of ~/.bzr.log on Windows. Patch from Andrew
6460
Bennetts.
6461
6462
* Some improvements in handling paths on Windows, based on a patch
6463
from QuantumG.

6466
bzr-0.0.3 2005-04-06
6467
---------------------
6468
6469
ENHANCEMENTS:
6470
6471
* New "directories" internal command lists versioned directories
6472
in the tree.
6473
6474
* Can now say "bzr commit --help".
6475
6476
* New "rename" command to rename one file to a different name
6477
and/or directory.
6478
6479
* New "move" command to move one or more files into a different
6480
directory.
6481
6482
* New "renames" command lists files renamed since base revision.
6483
6484
* New cat command contributed by janmar.
6485
6486
CHANGES:
6487
6488
* .bzr.log is placed in $HOME (not pwd) and is always written in
6489
UTF-8. (Probably not a completely good long-term solution, but
6490
will do for now.)
6491
6492
PORTABILITY:
6493
6494
* Workaround for difflib bug in Python 2.3 that causes an
6495
exception when comparing empty files. Reported by Erik Toubro
6496
Nielsen.
6497
6498
INTERNAL:
6499
6500
* Refactored inventory storage to insert a root entry at the top.
6501
6502
TESTING:
6503
6504
* Start of shell-based black-box testing in test.sh.

6515
bzr-0.0.2 "black cube" 2005-03-31
6516
-----------------------------------
6517
6518
ENHANCEMENTS:
6519
6520
* Default ignore list extended (see bzrlib/__init__.py).
6521
6522
* Patterns in .bzrignore are now added to the default ignore list,
6523
rather than replacing it.
6524
6525
* Ignore list isn't reread for every file.
6526
6527
* More help topics.
6528
6529
* Reinstate the 'bzr check' command to check invariants of the
6530
branch.
6531
6532
* New 'ignored' command lists which files are ignored and why;
6533
'deleted' lists files deleted in the current working tree.
6534
6535
* Performance improvements.
6536
6537
* New global --profile option.
6538
6539
* Ignore patterns like './config.h' now correctly match files in
6540
the root directory only.
6541
