bzr 1.6.1 IN DEVELOPMENT
8
------------------------
9
10
BUG FIXES:
11
12
* The previous ``--1.6-rich-root`` format used an incorrect xml
13
serializer, which would accidentally support fetching from a
14
repository that supported subtrees, even though the local one would
15
not. We deprecated that format, and introduced a new one that uses
16
the correct serializer ``--1.6.1-rich-root``.
17
(John Arbash Meinel, #262333)
18

20
bzr 1.6 2008-08-25
21
------------------
22
23
Finally, the long awaited bzr 1.6 has been released. This release includes
24
new features like Stacked Branches, improved weave merge, and an updated
25
server protocol (now on v3) which will allow for better cross version
26
compatibility. With this release we have deprecated Knit format
27
repositories, and recommend that users upgrade them, we will continue to
28
support reading and writing them for the forseeable future, but we will
29
not be tuning them for performance as pack repositories have proven to be
30
better at scaling. This will also be the first release to bundle
31
TortoiseBzr in the standalone Windows installer.
32
33
34
bzr 1.6rc5 2008-08-19
35
---------------------
36
37
BUG FIXES:
38
39
* Disable automatic detection of stacking based on a containing
40
directory of the target. It interacted badly with push, and needs a
41
bit more work to get the edges polished before it should happen
42
automatically. (John Arbash Meinel, #259275)
43
44
45
bzr 1.6rc4 2008-08-18
46
---------------------
47
48
BUG FIXES:
49
50
* Fix a regression in knit => pack fetching. We had a logic
51
inversion, causing the fetch to insert fulltexts in random order,
52
rather than preserving deltas. (John Arbash Meinel, #256757)
53
54
55
bzr 1.6rc3 2008-08-14
56
---------------------
57
58
CHANGES:
59
60
* Disable reading ``.bzrrules`` as a per-branch rule preferences
61
file. The feature was not quite ready for a full release.
62
(Robert Collins)
63
64
IMPROVEMENTS:
65
66
* Update the windows installer to bundle TortoiseBzr and ``qbzr``
67
into the standalone installer. This will be the first official
68
windows release that installs Tortoise by default.
69
(Mark Hammond)
70
71
BUG FIXES:
72
73
* Fix a regression in ``bzr+http`` support. There was a missing
74
function (``_read_line``) that needed to be carried over from
75
``bzr+ssh`` support. (Andrew Bennetts)
76
77
* ``GraphIndex`` objects will internally read an entire index if more
78
than 1/20th of their keyspace is requested in a single operation.
79
This largely mitigates a performance regression in ``bzr log FILE``
80
and completely corrects the performance regression in ``bzr log``.
81
The regression was caused by removing an accomodation which had been
82
supporting the index format in use. A newer index format is in
83
development which is substantially faster. (Robert Collins)
84
85
86
bzr 1.6rc2 2008-08-13
87
---------------------
88
89
This release candidate has a few minor bug fixes, and some regression
90
fixes for Windows.
91
92
BUG FIXES:
93
94
* ``bzr upgrade`` on remote branches accessed via bzr:// and
95
bzr+ssh:// now works. (Andrew Bennetts)
96
97
* Change the ``get_format_description()`` strings for
98
``RepositoryFormatKnitPack5`` et al to be single line messages.
99
(Aaron Bentley)
100
101
* Fix for a regression on Win32 where we would try to call
102
``os.listdir()`` on a file and not catch the exception properly.
103
(Windows raises a different exception.) This would manifest in
104
places like ``bzr rm file`` or ``bzr switch``.
105
(Mark Hammond, John Arbash Meinel)
106
107
* ``Inventory.copy()`` was failing to set the revision property for
108
the root entry. (Jelmer Vernooij)
109
110
* sftp transport: added missing ``FileExists`` case to
111
``_translate_io_exception`` (Christophe Troestler, #123475)
112
113
* The help for ``bzr ignored`` now suggests ``bzr ls --ignored`` for
114
scripting use. (Robert Collins, #3834)
115
116
* The default ``annotate`` logic will now always assign the
117
last-modified value of a line to one of the revisions that modified
118
it, rather than a merge revision. This would happen when both sides
119
claimed to have modified the line resulting in the same text. The
120
choice is arbitrary but stable, so merges in different directions
121
will get the same results. (John Arbash Meinel, #232188)
122
123
124
bzr 1.6rc1 2008-08-06
125
---------------------
126
127
This release candidate for bzr 1.6 solidifies the new branch stacking
128
feature. Bazaar now recommends that users upgrade all knit repositories,
129
because later formats are much faster. However, we plan to continue read/write and
130
upgrade support for knit repostories for the forseeable future. Several
131
other bugs and performance issues were fixed.
132
133
CHANGES:
134
135
* Knit format repositories are deprecated and bzr will now emit
136
warnings whenever it encounters one. Use ``bzr upgrade`` to upgrade
137
knit repositories to pack format. (Andrew Bennetts)
138
139
IMPROVEMENTS:
140
141
* ``bzr check`` can now be told which elements at a location it should
142
check. (Daniel Watkins)
143
144
* Commit now supports ``--exclude`` (or ``-x``) to exclude some files
145
from the commit. (Robert Collins, #3117)
146
147
* Fetching data between repositories that have the same model but no
148
optimised fetcher will not reserialise all the revisions, increasing
149
performance. (Robert Collins, John Arbash Meinel)
150
151
* Give a more specific error when target branch is not reachable.
152
(James Westby)
153
154
* Implemented a custom ``walkdirs_utf8`` implementation for win32.
155
This uses a pyrex extension to get direct access to the
156
``FindFirstFileW`` style apis, rather than using ``listdir`` +
157
``lstat``. Shows a very strong improvement in commands like
158
``status`` and ``diff`` which have to iterate the working tree.
159
Anywhere from 2x-6x faster depending on the size of the tree (bigger
160
trees, bigger benefit.) (John Arbash Meinel)
161
162
* New registry for log properties handles and the method in
163
LongLogFormatter to display the custom properties returned by the
164
registered handlers. (Guillermo Gonzalez, #162469)
165
166
BUG FIXES:
167
168
* Add more tests that stacking does not create deltas spanning
169
physical repository boundaries.
170
(Martin Pool, #252428)
171
172
* Better message about incompatible repositories.
173
(Martin Pool, #206258)
174
175
* ``bzr branch --stacked`` ensures the destination branch format can
176
support stacking, even if the origin does not.
177
(Martin Pool)
178
179
* ``bzr export`` no longer exports ``.bzrrules``.
180
(Ian Clatworthy)
181
182
* ``bzr serve --directory=/`` now correctly allows the whole
183
filesystem to be accessed on Windows, not just the root of the drive
184
that Python is running from.
185
(Adrian Wilkins, #240910)
186
187
* Deleting directories by hand before running ``bzr rm`` will not
188
cause subsequent errors in ``bzr st`` and ``bzr commit``.
189
(Robert Collins, #150438)
190
191
* Fix a test case that was failing if encoding wasn't UTF-8.
192
(John Arbash Meinel, #247585)
193
194
* Fix "no buffer space available" error when branching with the new
195
smart server protocol to or from Windows.
196
(Andrew Bennetts, #246180)
197
198
* Fixed problem in branching from smart server.
199
(#249256, Michael Hudson, Martin Pool)
200
201
* Handle a file turning in to a directory in TreeTransform.
202
(James Westby, #248448)
203
204
API CHANGES:
205
206
* ``MutableTree.commit`` has an extra optional keywork parameter
207
``exclude`` that will be unconditionally supplied by the command
208
line UI - plugins that add tree formats may need an update.
209
(Robert Collins)
210
211
* The API minimum version for plugin compatibility has been raised to
212
1.6 - there are significant changes throughout the code base.
213
(Robert Collins)
214
215
* The generic fetch code now uses three attributes on Repository objects
216
to control fetch. The streams requested are controlled via :
217
``_fetch_order`` and ``_fetch_uses_deltas``. Setting these
218
appropriately allows different repository implementations to recieve
219
data in their optimial form. If the ``_fetch_reconcile`` is set then
220
a reconcile operation is triggered at the end of the fetch.
221
(Robert Collins)
222
223
* The ``put_on_disk`` and ``get_tar_item`` methods in
224
``InventoryEntry`` were deprecated. (Ian Clatworthy)
225
226
* ``Repository.is_shared`` doesn't take a read lock. It didn't
227
need one in the first place (nobody cached the value, and
228
``RemoteRepository`` wasn't taking one either). This saves a round
229
trip when probing Pack repositories, as they read the ``pack-names``
230
file when locked. And during probe, locking the repo isn't very
231
useful. (John Arbash Meinel)
232
233
INTERNALS:
234
235
* ``bzrlib.branchbuilder.BranchBuilder`` is now much more capable of
236
putting together a real history without having to create a full
237
WorkingTree. It is recommended that tests that are not directly
238
testing the WorkingTree use BranchBuilder instead. See
239
``BranchBuilder.build_snapshot`` or
240
``TestCaseWithMemoryTree.make_branch_builder``. (John Arbash Meinel)
241
242
* ``bzrlib.builtins.internal_tree_files`` broken into two giving a new
243
helper ``safe_relpath_files`` - used by the new ``exclude``
244
parameter to commit. (Robert Collins)
245
246
* Make it easier to introduce new WorkingTree formats.
247
(Ian Clatworthy)
248
249
* The code for exporting trees was refactored not to use the
250
deprecated ``InventoryEntry`` methods. (Ian Clatworthy)
251
252
* RuleSearchers return () instead of [] now when there are no matches.
253
(Ian Clatworthy)
254
255
256
bzr 1.6beta3 2008-07-17
257
-----------------------
258
259
This release adds a new 'stacked branches' feature allowing branches to
260
share storage without being in the same repository or on the same machine.
261
(See the user guide for more details.) It also adds a new hook, improved
262
weaves, aliases for related locations, faster bzr+ssh push, and several
263
bug fixes.
264
265
FEATURES:
266
267
* New ``pre_change_branch_tip`` hook that is called before the
268
branch tip is moved, while the branch is write-locked. See the User
269
Reference for signature details. (Andrew Bennetts)
270
271
* Rule-based preferences can now be defined for selected files in
272
selected branches, allowing commands and plugins to provide
273
custom behaviour for files matching defined patterns.
274
See ``Rule-based preferences`` (part of ``Configuring Bazaar``)
275
in the User Guide and ``bzr help rules`` for more information.
276
(Ian Clatworthy)
277
278
* Sites may suggest a branch to stack new branches on. (Aaron Bentley)
279
280
* Stacked branches are now supported. See ``bzr help branch`` and
281
``bzr help push``. Branches must be in the ``development1`` format
282
to stack, though the stacked-on branch can be of any format.
283
(Robert Collins)
284
285
IMPROVEMENTS:
286
287
* ``bzr export --format=tgz --root=NAME -`` to export a gzipped tarball
288
to stdout; also ``tar`` and ``tbz2``.
289
(Martin Pool)
290
291
* ``bzr (re)merge --weave`` will now use a standard Weave algorithm,
292
rather than the annotation-based merge it was using. It does so by
293
building up a Weave of the important texts, without needing to build
294
the full ancestry. (John Arbash Meinel, #238895)
295
296
* ``bzr send`` documents and better supports ``emacsclient`` (proper
297
escaping of mail headers and handling of the MUA Mew).
298
(Christophe Troestler)
299
300
* Remembered locations can be specified by aliases, e.g. :parent, :public,
301
:submit. (Aaron Bentley)
302
303
* The smart protocol now has improved support for setting branches'
304
revision info directly. This makes operations like push
305
faster. The new request method name is
306
``Branch.set_last_revision_ex``. (Andrew Bennetts)
307
308
BUG FIXES:
309
310
* Bazaar is now able to be a client to the web server of IIS 6 and 7.
311
The broken implementations of RFC822 in Python and RFC2046 in IIS
312
combined with boundary-line checking in Bazaar previously made this
313
impossible. (NB, IIS 5 does not suffer from this problem).
314
(Adrian Wilkins, #247585)
315
316
* ``bzr log --long`` with a ghost in your mainline now handles that
317
ghost properly. (John Arbash Meinel, #243536)
318
319
* ``check`` handles the split-up .bzr layout correctly, so no longer
320
requires a branch to be present.
321
(Daniel Watkins, #64783)
322
323
* Clearer message about how to set the PYTHONPATH if bzrlib can't be
324
loaded.
325
(Martin Pool, #205230)
326
327
* Errors about missing libraries are now shown without a traceback,
328
and with a suggestion to install the library. The full traceback is
329
still in ``.bzr.log`` and can be shown with ``-Derror``.
330
(Martin Pool, #240161)
331
332
* Fetch from a stacked branch copies all required data.
333
(Aaron Bentley, #248506)
334
335
* Handle urls such as ftp://user@host.com@www.host.com where the user
336
name contains an @.
337
(Neil Martinsen-Burrell, #228058)
338
339
* ``needs_read_lock`` and ``needs_write_lock`` now suppress an error during
340
``unlock`` if there was an error in the original function. This helps
341
most when there is a failure with a smart server action, since often the
342
connection closes and we cannot unlock.
343
(Andrew Bennetts, John Arbash Meinel, #125784)
344
345
* Obsolete hidden command ``bzr fetch`` removed.
346
(Martin Pool, #172870)
347
348
* Raise the correct exception when doing ``-rbefore:0`` or ``-c0``.
349
(John Arbash Meinel, #239933)
350
351
* You can now compare file revisions in Windows diff programs from
352
Cygwin Bazaar.
353
(Matt McClure, #209281)
354
355
* revision_history now tolerates mainline ghosts for Branch format 6.
356
(Aaron Bentley, #235055)
357
358
* Set locale from environment for third party libs.
359
(Martin von Gagern, #128496)
360
361
DOCUMENTATION:
362
363
* Added *Using stacked branches* to the User Guide.
364
(Ian Clatworthy)
365
366
* Updated developer documentation.
367
(Martin Pool)
368
369
TESTING:
370
371
* ``-Dmemory`` will cause /proc/PID/status to be catted before bzr
372
exits, allowing low-key analysis of peak memory use. (Robert Collins)
373
374
* ``TestCaseWithTransport.make_branch_and_tree`` tries harder to return
375
a tree with a ``branch`` attribute of the right format. This was
376
preventing some ``RemoteBranch`` tests from actually running with
377
``RemoteBranch`` instances. (Andrew Bennetts)
378
379
API CHANGES:
380
381
* Removed ``Repository.text_store``, ``control_store``, etc. Instead,
382
there are new attributes ``texts, inventories, revisions,
383
signatures``, each of which is a ``VersionedFiles``. See the
384
Repository docstring for more details.
385
(Robert Collins)
386
387
* ``Branch.pull`` now accepts an ``_override_hook_target`` optional
388
parameter. If you have a subclass of ``Branch`` that overrides
389
``pull`` then you should add this parameter. (Andrew Bennetts)
390
391
* ``bzrlib.check.check()`` has been deprecated in favour of the more
392
aptly-named ``bzrlib.check.check_branch()``.
393
(Daniel Watkins)
394
395
* ``Tree.print_file`` and ``Repository.print_file`` are deprecated.
396
These methods are bad APIs because they write directly to sys.stdout.
397
bzrlib does not use them internally, and there are no direct tests
398
for them. (Alexander Belchenko)
399
400
INTERNALS:
401
402
* ``cat`` command no longer uses ``Tree.print_file()`` internally.
403
(Alexander Belchenko)
404
405
* New class method ``BzrDir.open_containing_tree_branch_or_repository``
406
which eases the discovery of the tree, the branch and the repository
407
containing a given location.
408
(Daniel Watkins)
409
410
* New ``versionedfile.KeyMapper`` interface to abstract out the access to
411
underlying .knit/.kndx etc files in repositories with partitioned
412
storage. (Robert Collins)
413
414
* Obsolete developer-use command ``weave-join`` has been removed.
415
(Robert Collins)
416
417
* ``RemoteToOtherFetcher`` and ``get_data_stream_for_search`` removed,
418
to support new ``VersionedFiles`` layering.
419
(Robert Collins)
420
421
422
bzr 1.6beta2 2008-06-10
423
-----------------------
424
425
This release contains further progress towards our 1.6 goals of shallow
426
repositories, and contains a fix for some user-affecting bugs in the
427
repository layer. Building working trees during checkout and branch is
428
now faster.
429
430
BUG FIXES:
431
432
* Avoid KnitCorrupt error extracting inventories from some repositories.
433
(The data is not corrupt; an internal check is detecting a problem
434
reading from the repository.)
435
(Martin Pool, Andrew Bennetts, Robert Collins, #234748)
436
437
* ``bzr status`` was breaking if you merged the same revision twice.
438
(John Arbash Meinel, #235407)
439
440
* Fix infinite loop consuming 100% CPU when a connection is lost while
441
reading a response body via the smart protocol v1 or v2.
442
(Andrew Bennetts)
443
444
* Inserting a bundle which changes the contents of a file with no trailing
445
end of line, causing a knit snapshot in a 'knits' repository will no longer
446
cause KnitCorrupt. (Robert Collins)
447
448
* ``RemoteBranch.pull`` needs to return the ``self._real_branch``'s
449
pull result. It was instead just returning None, which breaks ``bzr
450
pull``. (John Arbash Meinel, #238149)
451
452
* Sanitize branch nick before using it as an attachment filename in
453
``bzr send``. (Lukáš Lalinský, #210218)
454
455
* Squash ``inv_entry.symlink_target`` to a plain string when
456
generating DirState details. This prevents from getting a
457
``UnicodeError`` when you have symlinks and non-ascii filenames.
458
(John Arbash Meinel, #135320)
459
460
IMPROVEMENTS:
461
462
* Added the 'alias' command to set/unset and display aliases. (Tim Penhey)
463
464
* ``added``, ``modified``, and ``unknowns`` behaviour made consistent (all three
465
now quote paths where required). Added ``--null`` option to ``added`` and
466
``modified`` (for null-separated unknowns, use ``ls --unknown --null``)
467
(Adrian Wilkins)
468
469
* Faster branching (1.09x) and lightweight checkouts (1.06x) on large trees.
470
(Ian Clatworthy, Aaron Bentley)
471
472
DOCUMENTATION:
473
474
* Added *Bazaar Zen* section to the User Guide. (Ian Clatworthy)
475
476
TESTING:
477
478
* Fix the test HTTPServer to be isolated from chdir calls made while it is
479
running, allowing it to be used in blackbox tests. (Robert Collins)
480
481
API CHANGES:
482
483
* ``WorkingTree.set_parent_(ids/trees)`` will now filter out revisions
484
which are in the ancestry of other revisions. So if you merge the same
485
tree twice, or merge an ancestor of an existing merge, it will only
486
record the newest. (If you merge a descendent, it will replace its
487
ancestor). (John Arbash Meinel, #235407)
488
489
* ``RepositoryPolicy.__init__`` now requires stack_on and stack_on_pwd,
490
through the derived classes do not. (Aaron Bentley)
491
492
INTERNALS:
493
494
* ``bzrlib.bzrdir.BzrDir.sprout`` now accepts ``stacked`` to control
495
creating stacked branches. (Robert Collins)
496
497
* Knit record serialisation is now stricter on what it will accept, to
498
guard against potential internal bugs, or broken input. (Robert Collins)

bzr 1.6beta1 2008-06-02
502
-----------------------
503
504
505
Commands that work on the revision history such as push, pull, missing,
506
uncommit and log are now substantially faster. This release adds a
507
translation of some of the user documentation into Spanish. (Contributions of
508
other translations would be very welcome.) Bazaar 1.6beta1 adds a new network
509
protocol which is used by default and which allows for more efficient transfers
510
and future extensions.
511
512
513
NOTES WHEN UPGRADING:
514
515
* There is a new version of the network protocol used for bzr://, bzr+ssh://
516
and bzr+http:// connections. This will allow more efficient requests and
517
responses, and more graceful fallback when a server is too old to
518
recognise a request from a more recent client. Bazaar 1.6 will
519
interoperate with 0.16 and later versions, but servers should be upgraded
520
when possible. Bazaar 1.6 no longer interoperates with 0.15 and earlier via
521
these protocols. Use alternatives like SFTP or upgrade those servers.
522
(Andrew Bennetts, #83935)
523
524
CHANGES:
525
526
* Deprecation warnings will not be suppressed when running ``bzr selftest``
527
so that developers can see if their code is using deprecated functions.
528
(John Arbash Meinel)
529
530
FEATURES:
531
532
* Adding ``-Derror`` will now display a traceback when a plugin fails to
533
load. (James Westby)
534
535
IMPROVEMENTS:
536
537
* ``bzr branch/push/pull -r XXX`` now have a helper function for finding
538
the revno of the new revision (``Graph.find_distance_to_null``). This
539
should make something like ``bzr branch -r -100`` in a shared, no-trees
540
repository much snappier. (John Arbash Meinel)
541
542
* ``bzr log --short -r X..Y`` no longer needs to access the full revision
543
history. This makes it noticeably faster when logging the last few
544
revisions. (John Arbash Meinel)
545
546
* ``bzr ls`` now accepts ``-V`` as an alias for ``--versioned``.
547
(Jerad Cramp, #165086)
548
549
* ``bzr missing`` uses the new ``Graph.find_unique_ancestors`` and
550
``Graph.find_differences`` to determine missing revisions without having
551
to search the whole ancestry. (John Arbash Meinel, #174625)
552
553
* ``bzr uncommit`` now uses partial history access, rather than always
554
extracting the full revision history for a branch. This makes it
555
resolve the appropriate revisions much faster (in testing it drops
556
uncommit from 1.5s => 0.4s). It also means ``bzr log --short`` is one
557
step closer to not using full revision history.
558
(John Arbash Meinel, #172649)
559
560
BUGFIXES:
561
562
* ``bzr merge --lca`` should handle when two revisions have no common
563
ancestor other than NULL_REVISION. (John Arbash Meinel, #235715)
564
565
* ``bzr status`` was breaking if you merged the same revision twice.
566
(John Arbash Meinel, #235407)
567
568
* ``bzr push`` with both ``--overwrite`` and ``-r NNN`` options no longer
569
fails. (Andrew Bennetts, #234229)
570
571
* Correctly track the base URL of a smart medium when using bzr+http://
572
URLs, which was causing spurious "No repository present" errors with
573
branches in shared repositories accessed over bzr+http.
574
(Andrew Bennetts, #230550)
575
576
* Define ``_remote_is_at_least_1_2`` on ``SmartClientMedium`` so that all
577
implementations have the attribute. Fixes 'PyCurlTransport' object has no
578
attribute '_remote_is_at_least_1_2' attribute errors.
579
(Andrew Bennetts, #220806)
580
581
* Failure to delete an obsolete pack file should just give a warning
582
message, not a fatal error. It may for example fail if the file is still
583
in use by another process.
584
(Martin Pool)
585
586
* Fix MemoryError during large fetches over HTTP by limiting the amount of
587
data we try to read per ``recv`` call. The problem was observed with
588
Windows and a proxy, but might affect other environments as well.
589
(Eric Holmberg, #215426)
590
591
* Handle old merge directives correctly in Merger.from_mergeable. Stricter
592
get_parent_map requirements exposed a latent bug here. (Aaron Bentley)
593
594
* Issue a warning and ignore passwords declared in authentication.conf when
595
used for an ssh scheme (sftp or bzr+ssh).
596
(Vincent Ladeuil, #203186)
597
598
* Make both http implementations raise appropriate exceptions on 403
599
Forbidden when POSTing smart requests.
600
(Vincent Ladeuil, #230223)
601
602
* Properly *title* header names in http requests instead of capitalizing
603
them.
604
(Vincent Ladeuil, #229076)
605
606
* The "Unable to obtain lock" error message now also suggests using
607
``bzr break-lock`` to fix it. (Martin Albisetti, #139202)
608
609
* Treat an encoding of '' as ascii; this can happen when bzr is run
610
under vim on Mac OS X.
611
(Neil Martinsen-Burrell)
612
613
* ``VersionedFile.make_mpdiffs()`` was raising an exception that wasn't in
614
scope. (Daniel Fischer #235687)
615
616
DOCUMENTATION:
617
618
* Added directory structure and started translation of docs in spanish.
619
(Martin Albisetti, Lucio Albenga)
620
621
* Incorporate feedback from Jelmer Vernooij and Neil Martinsen-Burrell
622
on the plugin and integration chapters of the User Guide.
623
(Ian Clatworthy)
624
625
* More Bazaar developer documentation about packaging and release process,
626
and about use of Python reprs.
627
(Martin Pool, Martin Albisetti)
628
629
* Updated Tortise strategy document. (Mark Hammond)
630
631
TESTING:
632
633
* ``bzrlib.tests.adapt_tests`` was broken and unused - it has been fixed.
634
(Robert Collins)
635
636
* Fix the test HTTPServer to be isolated from chdir calls made while it is
637
running, allowing it to be used in blackbox tests. (Robert Collins)
638
639
* New helper function for splitting test suites
640
``split_suite_by_condition``. (Robert Collins)
641
642
INTERNALS:
643
644
* ``Branch.missing_revisions`` has been deprecated. Similar functionality
645
can be obtained using ``bzrlib.missing.find_unmerged``. The api was
646
fairly broken, and the function was unused, so we are getting rid of it.
647
(John Arbash Meinel)
648
649
API CHANGES:
650
651
* ``Branch.abspath`` is deprecated; use the Tree or Transport
652
instead. (Martin Pool)
653
654
* ``Branch.update_revisions`` now takes an optional ``Graph``
655
object. This can be used by ``update_revisions`` when it is
656
checking ancestry, and allows callers to prefer request to go to a
657
local branch. (John Arbash Meinel)
658
659
* Branch, Repository, Tree and BzrDir should expose a Transport as an
660
attribute if they have one, rather than having it indirectly accessible
661
as ``.control_files._transport``. This doesn't add a requirement
662
to support a Transport in cases where it was not needed before;
663
it just simplifies the way it is reached. (Martin Pool)
664
665
* ``bzr missing --mine-only`` will return status code 0 if you have no
666
new revisions, but the remote does. Similarly for ``--theirs-only``.
667
The new code only checks one side, so it doesn't know if the other
668
side has changes. This seems more accurate with the request anyway.
669
It also changes the output to print '[This|Other] branch is up to
670
date.' rather than displaying nothing. (John Arbash Meinel)
671
672
* ``LockableFiles.put_utf8``, ``put_bytes`` and ``controlfilename``
673
are now deprecated in favor of using Transport operations.
674
(Martin Pool)
675
676
* Many methods on ``VersionedFile``, ``Repository`` and in
677
``bzrlib.revision`` deprecated before bzrlib 1.5 have been removed.
678
(Robert Collins)
679
680
* ``RevisionSpec.wants_revision_history`` can be set to False for a given
681
``RevisionSpec``. This will disable the existing behavior of passing in
682
the full revision history to ``self._match_on``. Useful for specs that
683
don't actually need access to the full history. (John Arbash Meinel)
684
685
* The constructors of ``SmartClientMedium`` and its subclasses now require a
686
``base`` parameter. ``SmartClientMedium`` implementations now also need
687
to provide a ``remote_path_from_transport`` method. (Andrew Bennetts)
688
689
* The default permissions for creating new files and directories
690
should now be obtained from ``BzrDir._get_file_mode()`` and
691
``_get_dir_mode()``, rather than from LockableFiles. The ``_set_file_mode``
692
and ``_set_dir_mode`` variables on LockableFiles which were advertised
693
as a way for plugins to control this are no longer consulted.
694
(Martin Pool)
695
696
* ``VersionedFile.join`` is deprecated. This method required local
697
instances of both versioned file objects and was thus hostile to being
698
used for streaming from a smart server. The new get_record_stream and
699
insert_record_stream are meant to efficiently replace this method.
700
(Robert Collins)
701
702
* ``WorkingTree.set_parent_(ids/trees)`` will now filter out revisions
703
which are in the ancestry of other revisions. So if you merge the same
704
tree twice, or merge an ancestor of an existing merge, it will only
705
record the newest. (If you merge a descendent, it will replace its
706
ancestor). (John Arbash Meinel, #235407)
707
708
* ``WorkingTreeFormat2.stub_initialize_remote`` is now private.
709

bzr 1.5 2008-05-16
713
------------------
714
715
This release of Bazaar includes several updates to the documentation, and fixes
716
to prepare for making rich root support the default format. Many bugs have been
717
squashed, including fixes to log, bzr+ssh inter-operation with older servers.
718
719
CHANGES:
720
721
* Suppress deprecation warnings when bzrlib is a 'final' release. This way
722
users of packaged software won't be bothered with DeprecationWarnings,
723
but developers and testers will still see them. (John Arbash Meinel)
724
725
DOCUMENTATION:
726
727
* Incorporate feedback from Jelmer Vernooij and Neil Martinsen-Burrell
728
on the plugin and integration chapters of the User Guide.

733
---------------------
734
735
NOTES WHEN UPGRADING:
736
737
CHANGES:
738
739
* Broader support of GNU Emacs mail clients. Set
740
``mail_client=emacsclient`` in your bazaar.conf and ``send`` will pop the
741
bundle in a mail buffer according to the value of ``mail-user-agent``
742
variable. (Xavier Maillard)
743
744
FEATURES:
745
746
IMPROVEMENTS:
747
748
* Diff now handles revision specs like "branch:" and "submit:" more
749
efficiently. (Aaron Bentley, #202928)
750
751
* More friendly error given when attempt to start the smart server
752
on an address already in use. (Andrea Corbellini, #200575)
753
754
* Pull completes much faster when there is nothing to pull.
755
(Aaron Bentley)
756
757
BUGFIXES:
758
759
* Authentication.conf can define sections without password.
760
(Vincent Ladeuil, #199440)
761
762
* Avoid muttering every time a child update does not cause a progress bar
763
update. (John Arbash Meinel, #213771)
764
765
* ``Branch.reconcile()`` is now implemented. This allows ``bzr reconcile``
766
to fix when a Branch has a non-canonical mainline history. ``bzr check``
767
also detects this condition. (John Arbash Meinel, #177855)
768
769
* ``bzr log -r ..X bzr://`` was failing, because it was getting a request
770
for ``revision_id=None`` which was not a string.
771
(John Arbash Meinel, #211661)
772
773
* ``bzr commit`` now works with Microsoft's FTP service.
774
(Andreas Deininger)
775
776
* Catch definitions outside sections in authentication.conf.
777
(Vincent Ladeuil, #217650)
778
779
* Conversion from non-rich-root to rich-root(-pack) updates inventory
780
sha1s, even when bundles are used. (Aaron Bentley, #181391)
781
782
* Conversion from non-rich-root to rich-root(-pack) works correctly even
783
though search keys are not topologically sorted. (Aaron Bentley)
784
785
* Conversion from non-rich-root to rich-root(-pack) works even when a
786
parent revision has a different root id. (Aaron Bentley, #177874)
787
788
* Disable strace testing until strace is fixed (see bug #103133) and emit a
789
warning when selftest ends to remind us of leaking tests.
790
(Vincent Ladeuil, #226769)
791
792
* Fetching all revisions from a repository does not cause pack collisions.
793
(Robert Collins, Aaron Bentley, #212908)
794
795
* Fix error about "attempt to add line-delta in non-delta knit".
796
(Andrew Bennetts, #217701)
797
798
* Pushing a branch in "dirstate" format (Branch5) over bzr+ssh would break
799
if the remote server was < version 1.2. This was due to a bug in the
800
RemoteRepository.get_parent_map() fallback code.
801
(John Arbash Meinel, #214894)
802
803
* Remove leftover code in ``bzr_branch`` that inappropriately creates
804
a ``branch-name`` file in the branch control directory.
805
(Martin Pool)
806
807
* Set SO_REUSEADDR on server sockets of ``bzr serve`` to avoid problems
808
rebinding the socket when starting the server a second time.
809
(John Arbash Meinel, Martin Pool, #164288)
810
811
* Severe performance degradation in fetching from knit repositories to
812
knits and packs due to parsing the entire revisions.kndx on every graph
813
walk iteration fixed by using the Repository.get_graph API. There was
814
another regression in knit => knit fetching which re-read the index for
815
every revision each side had in common.
816
(Robert Collins, John Arbash Meinel)
817
818
* When logging the changes to a particular file, there was a bug if there
819
were ghosts in the revision ancestry. (John Arbash Meinel, #209948)
820
821
* xs4all's ftp server returns a temporary error when trying to list an
822
empty directory, rather than returning an empty list. Adding a
823
workaround so that we don't get spurious failures.
824
(John Arbash Meinel, #215522)
825
826
DOCUMENTATION:
827
828
* Expanded the User Guide to include new chapters on popular plugins and
829
integrating Bazaar into your environment. The *Best practices* chapter
830
was renamed to *Miscellaneous topics* as suggested by community
831
feedback as well. (Ian Clatworthy)
832
833
* Document outlining strategies for TortoiseBzr. (Mark Hammond)
834
835
* Improved the documentation on hooks. (Ian Clatworthy)
836
837
* Update authentication docs regarding ssh agents.
838
(Vincent Ladeuil, #183705)
839
840
TESTING:
841
842
* Add ``thread_name_suffix`` parameter to SmartTCPServer_for_testing, to
843
make it easy to identify which test spawned a thread with an unhandled
844
exception. (Andrew Bennetts)
845
846
* New ``--debugflag``/``-E`` option to ``bzr selftest`` for setting
847
options for debugging tests, these are complementary to the the -D
848
options. The ``-Dselftest_debug`` global option has been replaced by the
849
``-E=allow_debug`` option for selftest. (Andrew Bennetts)
850
851
* Parameterised test ids are preserved correctly to aid diagnosis of test
852
failures. (Robert Collins, Andrew Bennetts)
853
854
* selftest now accepts --starting-with <id> to load only the tests whose id
855
starts with the one specified. This greatly speeds up running the test
856
suite on a limited set of tests and can be used to run the tests for a
857
single module, a single class or even a single test. (Vincent Ladeuil)
858
859
* The test suite modules have been modified to define load_tests() instead
860
of test_suite(). That speeds up selective loading (via --load-list)
861
significantly and provides many examples on how to migrate (grep for
862
load_tests). (Vincent Ladeuil)
863
864
INTERNALS:
865
866
* ``Hooks.install_hook`` is now deprecated in favour of
867
``Hooks.install_named_hook`` which adds a required ``name`` parameter, to
868
avoid having to call ``Hooks.name_hook``. (Daniel Watkins)
869
870
* Implement xml8 serializer. (Aaron Bentley)
871
872
* New form ``@deprecated_method(deprecated_in(1, 5, 0))`` for making
873
deprecation wrappers. (Martin Pool)
874
875
* ``Repository.revision_parents`` is now deprecated in favour of
876
``Repository.get_parent_map([revid])[revid]``. (Jelmer Vernooij)
877
878
* The Python ``assert`` statement is no longer used in Bazaar source, and
879
a test checks this. (Martin Pool)
880
881
API CHANGES:
882
883
* ``bzrlib.status.show_pending_merges`` requires the repository to be
884
locked by the caller. Callers should have been doing it anyway, but it
885
will now raise an exception if they do not. (John Arbash Meinel)
886
887
* Repository.get_data_stream, Repository.get_data_stream_for_search(),
888
Repository.get_deltas_for_revsions(), Repository.revision_trees(),
889
Repository.item_keys_introduced_by() no longer take read locks.
890
(Aaron Bentley)
891
892
* ``LockableFiles.get_utf8`` and ``.get`` are deprecated, as a start
893
towards removing LockableFiles and ``.control_files`` entirely.
894
(Martin Pool)
895
896
* Methods deprecated prior to 1.1 have been removed.

bzr 1.4 2008-04-28
901
------------------
902
903
This release of Bazaar includes handy improvements to the speed of log and
904
status, new options for several commands, improved documentation, and better
905
hooks, including initial code for server-side hooks. A number of bugs have
906
been fixed, particularly in interoperability between different formats or
907
different releases of Bazaar over there network. There's been substantial
908
internal work in both the repository and network code to enable new features
909
and faster performance.
910
911
BUG FIXES:
912
913
* Pushing a branch in "dirstate" format (Branch5) over bzr+ssh would break
914
if the remote server was < version 1.2. This was due to a bug in the
915

922
BUG FIXES:
923
924
* ``bzr log -r ..X bzr://`` was failing, because it was getting a request
925
for ``revision_id=None`` which was not a string.
926
(John Arbash Meinel, #211661)

* Fix error about "attempt to add line-delta in non-delta knit".
932
(Andrew Bennetts, #205156)
933
934
* Fixed performance degradation in fetching from knit repositories to
935
knits and packs due to parsing the entire revisions.kndx on every graph
936
walk iteration fixed by using the Repository.get_graph API. There was
937
another regression in knit => knit fetching which re-read the index for
938
every revision each side had in common.

bzr 1.4rc1 2008-04-11
943
---------------------
944
945
CHANGES:
946
947
* bzr main script cannot be imported (Benjamin Peterson)
948
949
* On Linux bzr additionally looks for plugins in arch-independent site
950
directory. (Toshio Kuratomi)
951
952
* The ``set_rh`` branch hook is now deprecated. Please migrate
953
any plugins using this hook to use an alternative, e.g.
954
``post_change_branch_tip``. (Ian Clatworthy)
955
956
* When a plugin cannot be loaded as the file path is not a valid
957
python module name bzr will now strip a ``bzr_`` prefix from the
958
front of the suggested name, as many plugins (e.g. bzr-svn)
959
want to be installed without this prefix. It is a common mistake
960
to have a folder named "bzr-svn" for that plugin, especially
961
as this is what bzr branch lp:bzr-svn will give you. (James Westby,
962
Andrew Cowie)
963
964
* UniqueIntegerBugTracker now appends bug-ids instead of joining
965
them to the base URL. Plugins that register bug trackers may
966
need a trailing / added to the base URL if one is not already there.
967
(James Wesby, Andrew Cowie)
968
969
FEATURES:
970
971
* Added start_commit hook for mutable trees. (Jelmer Vernooij, #186422)
972
973
* ``status`` now accepts ``--no-pending`` to show the status without
974
listing pending merges, which speeds up the command a lot on large
975
histories. (James Westby, #202830)
976
977
* New ``post_change_branch_tip`` hook that is called after the
978
branch tip is moved but while the branch is still write-locked.
979
See the User Reference for signature details.
980
(Ian Clatworthy, James Henstridge)
981
982
* Reconfigure can convert a branch to be standalone or to use a shared
983
repository. (Aaron Bentley)
984
985
IMPROVEMENTS:
986
987
* The smart protocol now has support for setting branches' revision info
988
directly. This should make operations like push slightly faster, and is a
989
step towards server-side hooks. The new request method name is
990
``Branch.set_last_revision_info``. (Andrew Bennetts)
991
992
* ``bzr commit --fixes`` now recognises "gnome" as a tag by default.
993
(James Westby, Andrew Cowie)
994
995
* ``bzr switch`` will attempt to find branches to switch to relative to the
996
current branch. E.g. ``bzr switch branchname`` will look for
997
``current_branch/../branchname``. (Robert Collins, Jelmer Vernooij,
998
Wouter van Heyst)
999
1000
* Diff is now more specific about execute-bit changes it describes
1001
(Chad Miller)
1002
1003
* Fetching data over HTTP is a bit faster when urllib is used. This is done
1004
by forcing it to recv 64k at a time when reading lines in HTTP headers,
1005
rather than just 1 byte at a time. (Andrew Bennetts)
1006
1007
* Log --short and --line are much faster when -r is not specified.
1008
(Aaron Bentley)
1009
1010
* Merge is faster. We no longer check a file's existence unnecessarily
1011
when merging the execute bit. (Aaron Bentley)
1012
1013
* ``bzr status`` on an explicit list of files no longer shows pending
1014
merges, making it much faster on large trees. (John Arbash Meinel)
1015
1016
* The launchpad directory service now warns the user if they have not set
1017
their launchpad login and are trying to resolve a URL using it, just
1018
in case they want to do a write operation with it. (James Westby)
1019
1020
* The smart protocol client is slightly faster, because it now only queries
1021
the server for the protocol version once per connection. Also, the HTTP
1022
transport will now automatically probe for and use a smart server if
1023
one is present. You can use the new ``nosmart+`` transport decorator
1024
to get the old behaviour. (Andrew Bennetts)
1025
1026
* The ``version`` command takes a ``--short`` option to print just the
1027
version number, for easier use in scripts. (Martin Pool)
1028
1029
* Various operations with revision specs and commands that calculate
1030
revnos and revision ids are faster. (John A. Meinel, Aaron Bentley)
1031
1032
BUGFIXES:
1033
1034
* Add ``root_client_path`` parameter to SmartWSGIApp and
1035
SmartServerRequest. This makes it possible to publish filesystem
1036
locations that don't exactly match URL paths. SmartServerRequest
1037
subclasses should use the new ``translate_client_path`` and
1038
``transport_from_client_path`` methods when dealing with paths received
1039
from a client to take this into account. (Andrew Bennetts, #124089)
1040
1041
* ``bzr mv a b`` can be now used also to rename previously renamed
1042
directories, not only files. (Lukáš Lalinský, #107967)
1043
1044
* ``bzr uncommit --local`` can now remove revisions from the local
1045
branch to be symmetric with ``bzr commit --local``.
1046
(John Arbash Meinel, #93412)
1047
1048
* Don't ask for a password if there is no real terminal.
1049
(Alexander Belchenko, #69851)
1050
1051
* Fix a bug causing a ValueError crash in ``parse_line_delta_iter`` when
1052
fetching revisions from a knit to pack repository or vice versa using
1053
bzr:// (including over http or ssh).
1054
(#208418, Andrew Bennetts, Martin Pool, Robert Collins)
1055
1056
* Fixed ``_get_line`` in ``bzrlib.smart.medium``, which was buggy. Also
1057
fixed ``_get_bytes`` in the same module to use the push back buffer.
1058
These bugs had no known impact in normal use, but were problematic for
1059
developers working on the code, and were likely to cause real bugs sooner
1060
or later. (Andrew Bennetts)
1061
1062
* Implement handling of basename parameter for DefaultMail. (James Westby)
1063
1064
* Incompatibility with Paramiko versions newer than 1.7.2 was fixed.
1065
(Andrew Bennetts, #213425)
1066
1067
* Launchpad locations (lp: URLs) can be pulled. (Aaron Bentley, #181945)
1068
1069
* Merges that add files to deleted root directories complete. They
1070
do create conflicts. (Aaron Bentley, #210092)
1071
1072
* vsftp's return ``550 RNFR command failed.`` supported.
1073
(Marcus Trautwig, #129786)
1074
1075
DOCUMENTATION:
1076
1077
* Improved documentation on send/merge relationship. (Peter Schuller)
1078
1079
* Minor fixes to the User Guide. (Matthew Fuller)
1080
1081
* Reduced the evangelism in the User Guide. (Ian Clatworthy)
1082
1083
* Added Integrating with Bazaar document for developers (Martin Albisetti)
1084
1085
API BREAKS:
1086
1087
* Attempting to pull data from a ghost aware repository (e.g. knits) into a
1088
non-ghost aware repository such as weaves will now fail if there are
1089
ghosts. (Robert Collins)
1090
1091
* ``KnitVersionedFile`` no longer accepts an ``access_mode`` parameter, and
1092
now requires the ``index`` and ``access_method`` parameters to be
1093
supplied. A compatible shim has been kept in the new function
1094
``knit.make_file_knit``. (Robert Collins)
1095
1096
* Log formatters must now provide log_revision instead of show and
1097
show_merge_revno methods. The latter had been deprecated since the 0.17
1098
release. (James Westby)
1099
1100
* ``LoopbackSFTP`` is now called ``SocketAsChannelAdapter``.
1101
(Andrew Bennetts)
1102
1103
* ``osutils.backup_file`` is removed. (Alexander Belchenko)
1104
1105
* ``Repository.get_revision_graph`` is deprecated, with no replacement
1106
method. The method was size(history) and not desirable. (Robert Collins)
1107
1108
* ``revision.revision_graph`` is deprecated, with no replacement function.
1109
The function was size(history) and not desirable. (Robert Collins)
1110
1111
* ``Transport.get_shared_medium`` is deprecated. Use
1112
``Transport.get_smart_medium`` instead. (Andrew Bennetts)
1113
1114
* ``VersionedFile`` factories now accept a get_scope parameter rather
1115
than using a call to ``transaction_finished``, allowing the removal of
1116
the fixed list of versioned files per repository. (Robert Collins)
1117
1118
* ``VersionedFile.annotate_iter`` is deprecated. While in principle this
1119
allowed lower memory use, all users of annotations wanted full file
1120
annotations, and there is no storage format suitable for incremental
1121
line-by-line annotation. (Robert Collins)
1122
1123
* ``VersionedFile.clone_text`` is deprecated. This performance optimisation
1124
is no longer used - reading the content of a file that is undergoing a
1125
file level merge to identical state on two branches is rare enough, and
1126
not expensive enough to special case. (Robert Collins)
1127
1128
* ``VersionedFile.clear_cache`` and ``enable_cache`` are deprecated.
1129
These methods added significant complexity to the ``VersionedFile``
1130
implementation, but were only used for optimising fetches from knits -
1131
which can be done from outside the knit layer, or via a caching
1132
decorator. As knits are not the default format, the complexity is no
1133
longer worth paying. (Robert Collins)
1134
1135
* ``VersionedFile.create_empty`` is removed. This method presupposed a
1136
sensible mapping to a transport for individual files, but pack backed
1137
versioned files have no such mapping. (Robert Collins)
1138
1139
* ``VersionedFile.get_graph`` is deprecated, with no replacement method.
1140
The method was size(history) and not desirable. (Robert Collins)
1141
1142
* ``VersionedFile.get_graph_with_ghosts`` is deprecated, with no
1143
replacement method. The method was size(history) and not desirable.
1144
(Robert Collins)
1145
1146
* ``VersionedFile.get_parents`` is deprecated, please use
1147
``VersionedFile.get_parent_map``. (Robert Collins)
1148
1149
* ``VersionedFile.get_sha1`` is deprecated, please use
1150
``VersionedFile.get_sha1s``. (Robert Collins)
1151
1152
* ``VersionedFile.has_ghost`` is now deprecated, as it is both expensive
1153
and unused outside of a single test. (Robert Collins)
1154
1155
* ``VersionedFile.iter_parents`` is now deprecated in favour of
1156
``get_parent_map`` which can be used to instantiate a Graph on a
1157
VersionedFile. (Robert Collins)
1158
1159
* ``VersionedFileStore`` no longer uses the transaction parameter given
1160
to most methods; amongst other things this means that the
1161
get_weave_or_empty method no longer guarantees errors on a missing weave
1162
in a readonly transaction, and no longer caches versioned file instances
1163
which reduces memory pressure (but requires more careful management by
1164
callers to preserve performance). (Robert Collins)
1165
1166
TESTING:
1167
1168
* New -Dselftest_debug flag disables clearing of the debug flags during
1169
tests. This is useful if you want to use e.g. -Dhpss to help debug a
1170
failing test. Be aware that using this feature is likely to cause
1171
spurious test failures if used with the full suite. (Andrew Bennetts)
1172
1173
* selftest --load-list now uses a new more agressive test loader that will
1174
avoid loading unneeded modules and building their tests. Plugins can use
1175
this new loader by defining a load_tests function instead of a test_suite
1176
function. (a forthcoming patch will provide many examples on how to
1177
implement this).
1178
(Vincent Ladeuil)
1179
1180
* selftest --load-list now does some sanity checks regarding duplicate test
1181
IDs and tests present in the list but not found in the actual test suite.
1182
(Vincent Ladeuil)
1183
1184
* Slightly more concise format for the selftest progress bar, so there's
1185
more space to show the test name. (Martin Pool) ::
1186
1187
[2500/10884, 1fail, 3miss in 1m29s] test_revisionnamespaces.TestRev
1188
1189
* The test suite takes much less memory to run, and is a bit faster. This
1190
is done by clearing most attributes of TestCases after running them, if
1191
they succeeded. (Andrew Bennetts)
1192
1193
INTERNALS:
1194
1195
* Added ``_build_client_protocol`` to ``_SmartClient``. (Andrew Bennetts)
1196
1197
* Added basic infrastructure for automatic plugin suggestion.
1198
(Martin Albisetti)
1199
1200
* If a ``LockableFiles`` object is not explicitly unlocked (for example
1201
because of a missing ``try/finally`` block, it will give a warning but
1202
not automatically unlock itself. (Previously they did.) This
1203
sometimes caused knock-on errors if for example the network connection
1204
had already failed, and should not be relied upon by code.
1205
(Martin Pool, #109520)
1206
1207
* ``make dist`` target to build a release tarball, and also
1208
``check-dist-tarball`` and ``dist-upload-escudero``. (Martin Pool)
1209
1210
* The ``read_response_tuple`` method of ``SmartClientRequestProtocol*``
1211
classes will now raise ``UnknownSmartMethod`` when appropriate, so that
1212
callers don't need to try distinguish unknown request errors from other
1213
errors. (Andrew Bennetts)
1214
1215
* ``set_make_working_trees`` is now implemented provided on all repository
1216
implementations (Aaron Bentley)
1217
1218
* ``VersionedFile`` now has a new method ``get_parent_map`` which, like
1219
``Graph.get_parent_map`` returns a dict of key:parents. (Robert Collins)

1231
BUG FIXES:
1232
1233
* Fix a bug causing a ValueError crash in ``parse_line_delta_iter`` when
1234
fetching revisions from a knit to pack repository or vice versa using
1235
bzr:// (including over http or ssh).

bzr 1.3 2008-03-20
1240
------------------
1241
1242
Bazaar has become part of the GNU project <http://www.gnu.org>
1243
1244
Many operations that act on history, including ``log`` and ``annotate`` are now
1245
substantially faster. Several bugs have been fixed and several new options and
1246
features have been added.
1247
1248
TESTING:
1249
1250
* Avoid spurious failure of ``TestVersion.test_version`` matching
1251
directory names.

NOTES WHEN UPGRADING:
1259
1260
* The backup directory created by ``upgrade`` is now called
1261
``backup.bzr``, not ``.bzr.backup``. (Martin Albisetti)
1262
1263
CHANGES:
1264
1265
* A new repository format 'development' has been added. This format will
1266
represent the latest 'in-progress' format that the bzr developers are
1267
interested in getting early-adopter testing and feedback on.
1268
``doc/developers/development-repo.txt`` has detailed information.
1269
(Robert Collins)
1270
1271
* BZR_LOG environment variable controls location of .bzr.log trace file.
1272
User can suppress writing messages to .bzr.log by using '/dev/null'
1273
filename (on Linux) or 'NUL' (on Windows). If BZR_LOG variable
1274
is not defined but BZR_HOME is defined then default location
1275
for .bzr.log trace file is ``$BZR_HOME/.bzr.log``.
1276
(Alexander Belchenko)
1277
1278
* ``launchpad`` builtin plugin now shipped as separate part in standalone
1279
bzr.exe, installed to ``C:\Program Files\Bazaar\plugins`` directory,
1280
and standalone installer allows user to skip installation of this plugin.
1281
(Alexander Belchenko)
1282
1283
* Restore auto-detection of plink.exe on Windows. (Dmitry Vasiliev)
1284
1285
* Version number is now shown as "1.2" or "1.2pr2", without zeroed or
1286
missing final fields. (Martin Pool)
1287
1288
FEATURES:
1289
1290
* ``branch`` and ``checkout`` can hard-link working tree files, which is
1291
faster and saves space. (Aaron Bentley)
1292
1293
* ``bzr send`` will now also look at the ``child_submit_to`` setting in
1294
the submit branch to determine the email address to send to.
1295
(Jelmer Vernooij)
1296
1297
IMPROVEMENTS:
1298
1299
* BzrBranch._lefthand_history is faster on pack repos. (Aaron Bentley)
1300
1301
* Branch6.generate_revision_history is faster. (Aaron Bentley)
1302
1303
* Directory services can now be registered, allowing special URLs to be
1304
dereferenced into real URLs. This is a generalization and cleanup of
1305
the lp: transport lookup. (Aaron Bentley)
1306
1307
* Merge directives that are automatically attached to emails have nicer
1308
filenames, based on branch-nick + revno. (Aaron Bentley)
1309
1310
* ``push`` has a ``--revision`` option, to specify what revision to push up
1311
to. (Daniel Watkins)
1312
1313
* Significantly reducing execution time and network traffic for trivial
1314
case of running ``bzr missing`` command for two identical branches.
1315
(Alexander Belchenko)
1316
1317
* Speed up operations that look at the revision graph (such as 'bzr log').
1318
``KnitPackRepositor.get_revision_graph`` uses ``Graph.iter_ancestry`` to
1319
extract the revision history. This allows filtering ghosts while
1320
stepping instead of needing to peek ahead. (John Arbash Meinel)
1321
1322
* The ``hooks`` command lists installed hooks, to assist in debugging.
1323
(Daniel Watkins)
1324
1325
* Updates to how ``annotate`` work. Should see a measurable improvement in
1326
performance and memory consumption for file with a lot of merges.
1327
Also, correctly handle when a line is introduced by both parents (it
1328
should be attributed to the first merge which notices this, and not
1329
to all subsequent merges.) (John Arbash Meinel)
1330
1331
BUGFIXES:
1332
1333
* Autopacking no longer holds the full set of inventory lines in
1334
memory while copying. For large repositories, this can amount to
1335
hundreds of MB of ram consumption.
1336
(Ian Clatworthy, John Arbash Meinel)
1337
1338
* Cherrypicking when using ``--format=merge3`` now explictly excludes
1339
BASE lines. (John Arbash Meinel, #151731)
1340
1341
* Disable plink's interactive prompt for password.
1342
(#107593, Dmitry Vasiliev)
1343
1344
* Encode command line arguments from unicode to user_encoding before
1345
invoking external mail client in `bzr send` command.
1346
(#139318, Alexander Belchenko)
1347
1348
* Fixed problem connecting to ``bzr+https://`` servers.
1349
(#198793, John Ferlito)
1350
1351
* Improved error reporting in the Launchpad plugin. (Daniel Watkins,
1352
#196618)
1353
1354
* Include quick-start-summary.svg file to python-based installer(s)
1355
for Windows. (#192924, Alexander Belchenko)
1356
1357
* lca merge now respects specified files. (Aaron Bentley)
1358
1359
* Make version-info --custom imply --all. (#195560, James Westby)
1360
1361
* ``merge --preview`` now works for merges that add or modify
1362
symlinks (James Henstridge)
1363
1364
* Redirecting the output from ``bzr merge`` (when the remembered
1365
location is used) now works. (John Arbash Meinel)
1366
1367
* setup.py script explicitly checks for Python version.
1368
(Jari Aalto, Alexander Belchenko, #200569)
1369
1370
* UnknownFormatErrors no longer refer to branches regardless of kind of
1371
unknown format. (Daniel Watkins, #173980)
1372
1373
* Upgrade bundled ConfigObj to version 4.5.2, which properly quotes #
1374
signs, among other small improvements. (Matt Nordhoff, #86838)
1375
1376
* Use correct indices when emitting LCA conflicts. This fixes IndexError
1377
errors. (Aaron Bentley, #196780)
1378
1379
DOCUMENTATION:
1380
1381
* Explained how to use ``version-info --custom`` in the User Guide.
1382
(Neil Martinsen-Burrell)
1383
1384
API BREAKS:
1385
1386
* Support for loading plugins from zip files and
1387
``bzrlib.plugin.load_from_zip()`` function are deprecated.
1388
(Alexander Belchenko)
1389
1390
TESTING:
1391
1392
* Added missing blackbox tests for ``modified`` (Adrian Wilkins)
1393
1394
* The branch interface tests were invalid for branches using rich-root
1395
repositories because the empty string is not a valid file-id.

INTERNALS:

1400
* ``Graph.iter_ancestry`` returns the ancestry of revision ids. Similar to
1401
``Repository.get_revision_graph()`` except it includes ghosts and you can
1402
stop part-way through. (John Arbash Meinel)
1403
1404
* New module ``tools/package_mf.py`` provide custom module finder for
1405
python packages (improves standard python library's modulefinder.py)
1406
used by ``setup.py`` script while building standalone bzr.exe.
1407
(Alexander Belchenko)
1408
1409
* New remote method ``RemoteBzrDir.find_repositoryV2`` adding support for
1410
detecting external lookup support on remote repositories. This method is
1411
now attempted first when lookup up repositories, leading to an extra
1412
round trip on older bzr smart servers. (Robert Collins)
1413
1414
* Repository formats have a new supported-feature attribute
1415
``supports_external_lookups`` used to indicate repositories which support
1416
falling back to other repositories when they have partial data.
1417
(Robert Collins)
1418
1419
* ``Repository.get_revision_graph_with_ghosts`` and
1420
``bzrlib.revision.(common_ancestor,MultipleRevisionSources,common_graph)``
1421
have been deprecated. (John Arbash Meinel)
1422
1423
* ``Tree.iter_changes`` is now a public API, replacing the work-in-progress
1424
``Tree._iter_changes``. The api is now considered stable and ready for
1425
external users. (Aaron Bentley)
1426
1427
* The bzrdir format registry now accepts an ``alias`` keyword to
1428
register_metadir, used to indicate that a format name is an alias for
1429
some other format and thus should not be reported when describing the
1430
format. (Robert Collins)

1444
NOTES WHEN UPGRADING:
1445
1446
* Fetching via the smart protocol may need to reconnect once during a fetch
1447
if the remote server is running Bazaar 1.1 or earlier, because the client
1448
attempts to use more efficient requests that confuse older servers. You
1449
may be required to re-enter a password or passphrase when this happens.
1450
This won't happen if the server is upgraded to Bazaar 1.2.
1451
(Andrew Bennetts)
1452
1453
CHANGES:
1454
1455
* Fetching via bzr+ssh will no longer fill ghosts by default (this is
1456
consistent with pack-0.92 fetching over SFTP). (Robert Collins)
1457
1458
* Formatting of ``bzr plugins`` output is changed to be more human-
1459
friendly. Full path of plugins locations will be shown only with
1460
``--verbose`` command-line option. (Alexander Belchenko)
1461
1462
* ``merge`` now prefers to use the submit branch, but will fall back to
1463
parent branch. For many users, this has no effect. But some users who
1464
pull and merge on the same branch will notice a change. This change
1465
makes it easier to work on a branch on two different machines, pulling
1466
between the machines, while merging from the upstream.
1467
``merge --remember`` can now be used to set the submit_branch.
1468
(Aaron Bentley)
1469
1470
FEATURES:
1471
1472
* ``merge --preview`` produces a diff of the changes merge would make,
1473
but does not actually perform the merge. (Aaron Bentley)
1474
1475
* New smart method ``Repository.get_parent_map`` for getting revision
1476
parent data. This returns additional parent information topologically
1477
adjacent to the requested data to reduce round trip latency impacts.
1478
(Robert Collins)
1479
1480
* New smart method, ``Repository.stream_revisions_chunked``, for fetching
1481
revision data that streams revision data via a chunked encoding. This
1482
avoids buffering large amounts of revision data on the server and on the
1483
client, and sends less data to the server to request the revisions.
1484
(Andrew Bennetts, Robert Collins, #178353)
1485
1486
* The launchpad plugin now handles lp urls of the form
1487
``lp://staging/``, ``lp://demo/``, ``lp://dev/`` to use the appropriate
1488
launchpad instance to do the resolution of the branch identities.
1489
This is primarily of use to Launchpad developers, but can also
1490
be used by other users who want to try out Launchpad as
1491
a branch location without messing up their public Launchpad
1492
account. Branches that are pushed to the staging environment
1493
have an expected lifetime of one day. (Tim Penhey)
1494
1495
IMPROVEMENTS:
1496
1497
* Creating a new branch no longer tries to read the entire revision-history
1498
unnecessarily over smart server operations. (Robert Collins)
1499
1500
* Fetching between different repository formats with compatible models now
1501
takes advantage of the smart method to stream revisions. (Andrew Bennetts)
1502
1503
* The ``--coverage`` option is now global, rather specific to ``bzr
1504
selftest``. (Andrew Bennetts)
1505
1506
* The ``register-branch`` command will now use the public url of the branch
1507
containing the current directory, if one has been set and no explicit
1508
branch is provided. (Robert Collins)
1509
1510
* Tweak the ``reannotate`` code path to optimize the 2-parent case.
1511
Speeds up ``bzr annotate`` with a pack repository by approx 3:2.
1512
(John Arbash Meinel)
1513
1514
BUGFIXES:
1515
1516
* Calculate remote path relative to the shared medium in _SmartClient. This
1517
is related to the problem in bug #124089. (Andrew Bennetts)
1518
1519
* Cleanly handle connection errors in smart protocol version two, the same
1520
way as they are handled by version one. (Andrew Bennetts)
1521
1522
* Clearer error when ``version-info --custom`` is used without
1523
``--template`` (Lukáš Lalinský)
1524
1525
* Don't raise UnavailableFeature during test setup when medusa is not
1526
available or tearDown is never called leading to nasty side effects.
1527
(#137823, Vincent Ladeuil)
1528
1529
* If a plugin's test suite cannot be loaded, for example because of a syntax
1530
error in the tests, then ``selftest`` fails, rather than just printing
1531
a warning. (Martin Pool, #189771)
1532
1533
* List possible values for BZR_SSH environment variable in env-variables
1534
help topic. (Alexander Belchenko, #181842)
1535
1536
* New methods ``push_log_file`` and ``pop_log_file`` to intercept messages:
1537
popping the log redirection now precisely restores the previous state,
1538
which makes it easier to use bzr log output from other programs.
1539
TestCaseInTempDir no longer depends on a log redirection being established
1540
by the test framework, which lets bzr tests cleanly run from a normal
1541
unittest runner.
1542
(#124153, #124849, Martin Pool, Jonathan Lange)
1543
1544
* ``pull --quiet`` is now more quiet, in particular a message is no longer
1545
printed when the remembered pull location is used. (James Westby,
1546
#185907)
1547
1548
* ``reconfigure`` can safely be interrupted while fetching.
1549
(Aaron Bentley, #179316)
1550
1551
* ``reconfigure`` preserves tags when converting to and from lightweight
1552
checkouts. (Aaron Bentley, #182040)
1553
1554
* Stop polluting /tmp when running selftest.
1555
(Vincent Ladeuil, #123623)
1556
1557
* Switch from NFKC => NFC for normalization checks. NFC allows a few
1558
more characters which should be considered valid.
1559
(John Arbash Meinel, #185458)
1560
1561
* The launchpad plugin now uses the ``edge`` xmlrpc server to avoid
1562
interacting badly with a bug on the launchpad side. (Robert Collins)
1563
1564
* Unknown hostnames when connecting to a ``bzr://`` URL no longer cause
1565
tracebacks. (Andrew Bennetts, #182849)
1566
1567
API BREAKS:
1568
1569
* Classes implementing Merge types like Merge3Merger must now accept (and
1570
honour) a do_merge flag in their constructor. (Aaron Bentley)
1571
1572
* ``Repository.add_inventory`` and ``add_revision`` now require the caller
1573
to previously take a write lock (and start a write group.)
1574
(Martin Pool)
1575
1576
TESTING:
1577
1578
* selftest now accepts --load-list <file> to load a test id list. This
1579
speeds up running the test suite on a limited set of tests.
1580
(Vincent Ladeuil)
1581
1582
INTERNALS:
1583
1584
* Add a new method ``get_result`` to graph search objects. The resulting
1585
``SearchResult`` can be used to recreate the search later, which will
1586
be useful in reducing network traffic. (Robert Collins)
1587
1588
* Use convenience function to check whether two repository handles
1589
are referring to the same repository in ``Repository.get_graph``.
1590
(Jelmer Vernooij, #187162)
1591
1592
* Fetching now passes the find_ghosts flag through to the
1593
``InterRepository.missing_revision_ids`` call consistently for all
1594
repository types. This will enable faster missing revision discovery with
1595
bzr+ssh. (Robert Collins)
1596
1597
* Fix error handling in Repository.insert_data_stream. (Lukas Lalinsky)
1598
1599
* ``InterRepository.missing_revision_ids`` is now deprecated in favour of
1600
``InterRepository.search_missing_revision_ids`` which returns a
1601
``bzrlib.graph.SearchResult`` suitable for making requests from the smart
1602
server. (Robert Collins)
1603
1604
* New error ``NoPublicBranch`` for commands that need a public branch to
1605
operate. (Robert Collins)
1606
1607
* New method ``iter_inventories`` on Repository for access to many
1608
inventories. This is primarily used by the ``revision_trees`` method, as
1609
direct access to inventories is discouraged. (Robert Collins)
1610
1611
* New method ``next_with_ghosts`` on the Graph breadth-first-search objects
1612
which will split out ghosts and present parents into two separate sets,
1613
useful for code which needs to be aware of ghosts (e.g. fetching data
1614
cares about ghosts during revision selection). (Robert Collins)
1615
1616
* Record a timestamp against each mutter to the trace file, relative to the
1617
first import of bzrlib. (Andrew Bennetts)
1618
1619
* ``Repository.get_data_stream`` is now deprecated in favour of
1620
``Repository.get_data_stream_for_search`` which allows less network
1621
traffic when requesting data streams over a smart server. (Robert Collins)
1622
1623
* ``RemoteBzrDir._get_tree_branch`` no longer triggers ``_ensure_real``,
1624
removing one round trip on many network operations. (Robert Collins)
1625
1626
* RemoteTransport's ``recommended_page_size`` method now returns 64k, like
1627
SFTPTransport and HttpTransportBase. (Andrew Bennetts)
1628
1629
* Repository has a new method ``has_revisions`` which signals the presence
1630
of many revisions by returning a set of the revisions listed which are
1631
present. This can be done by index queries without reading data for parent
1632
revision names etc. (Robert Collins)

1641
---------------------
1642
1643
CHANGES:
1644
1645
* Dotted revision numbers have been revised. Instead of growing longer with
1646
nested branches the branch number just increases. (eg instead of 1.1.1.1.1
1647
we now report 1.2.1.) This helps scale long lived branches which have many
1648
feature branches merged between them. (John Arbash Meinel)
1649
1650
* The syntax ``bzr diff branch1 branch2`` is no longer supported.
1651
Use ``bzr diff branch1 --new branch2`` instead. This change has
1652
been made to remove the ambiguity where ``branch2`` is in fact a
1653
specific file to diff within ``branch1``.
1654
1655
FEATURES:
1656
1657
* New option to use custom template-based formats in ``bzr version-info``.
1658
(Lukáš Lalinský)
1659
1660
* diff '--using' allows an external diff tool to be used for files.
1661
(Aaron Bentley)
1662
1663
* New "lca" merge-type for fast everyday merging that also supports
1664
criss-cross merges. (Aaron Bentley)
1665
1666
IMPROVEMENTS:
1667
1668
* ``annotate`` now doesn't require a working tree. (Lukáš Lalinský,
1669
#90049)
1670
1671
* ``branch`` and ``checkout`` can now use files from a working tree to
1672
to speed up the process. For checkout, this requires the new
1673
--files-from flag. (Aaron Bentley)
1674
1675
* ``bzr diff`` now sorts files in alphabetical order. (Aaron Bentley)
1676
1677
* ``bzr diff`` now works on branches without working trees. Tree-less
1678
branches can also be compared to each other and to working trees using
1679
the new diff options ``--old`` and ``--new``. Diffing between branches,
1680
with or without trees, now supports specific file filtering as well.
1681
(Ian Clatworthy, #6700)
1682
1683
* ``bzr pack`` now orders revision texts in topological order, with newest
1684
at the start of the file, promoting linear reads for ``bzr log`` and the
1685
like. This partially fixes #154129. (Robert Collins)
1686
1687
* Merge directives now fetch prerequisites from the target branch if
1688
needed. (Aaron Bentley)
1689
1690
* pycurl now handles digest authentication.
1691
(Vincent Ladeuil)
1692
1693
* ``reconfigure`` can now convert from repositories. (Aaron Bentley)
1694
1695
* ``-l`` is now a short form for ``--limit`` in ``log``. (Matt Nordhoff)
1696
1697
* ``merge`` now warns when merge directives cause cherrypicks.
1698
(Aaron Bentley)
1699
1700
* ``split`` now supported, to enable splitting large trees into smaller
1701
pieces. (Aaron Bentley)
1702
1703
BUGFIXES:
1704
1705
* Avoid AttributeError when unlocking a pack repository when an error occurs.
1706
(Martin Pool, #180208)
1707
1708
* Better handle short reads when processing multiple range requests.
1709
(Vincent Ladeuil, #179368)
1710
1711
* build_tree acceleration uses the correct path when a file has been moved.
1712
(Aaron Bentley)
1713
1714
* ``commit`` now succeeds when a checkout and its master branch share a
1715
repository. (Aaron Bentley, #177592)
1716
1717
* Fixed error reporting of unsupported timezone format in
1718
``log --timezone``. (Lukáš Lalinský, #178722)
1719
1720
* Fixed Unicode encoding error in ``ignored`` when the output is
1721
redirected to a pipe. (Lukáš Lalinský)
1722
1723
* Fix traceback when sending large response bodies over the smart protocol
1724
on Windows. (Andrew Bennetts, #115781)
1725
1726
* Fix ``urlutils.relative_url`` for the case of two ``file:///`` URLs
1727
pointed to different logical drives on Windows.
1728
(Alexander Belchenko, #90847)
1729
1730
* HTTP test servers are now compatible with the http protocol version 1.1.
1731
(Vincent Ladeuil, #175524)
1732
1733
* _KnitParentsProvider.get_parent_map now handles requests for ghosts
1734
correctly, instead of erroring or attributing incorrect parents to ghosts.
1735
(Aaron Bentley)
1736
1737
* ``merge --weave --uncommitted`` now works. (Aaron Bentley)
1738
1739
* pycurl authentication handling was broken and incomplete. Fix handling of
1740
user:pass embedded in the urls.
1741
(Vincent Ladeuil, #177643)
1742
1743
* Files inside non-directories are now handled like other conflict types.
1744
(Aaron Bentley, #177390)
1745
1746
* ``reconfigure`` is able to convert trees into lightweight checkouts.
1747
(Aaron Bentley)
1748
1749
* Reduce lockdir timeout to 0 when running ``bzr serve``. (Andrew Bennetts,
1750
#148087)
1751
1752
* Test that the old ``version_info_format`` functions still work, even
1753
though they are deprecated. (John Arbash Meinel, ShenMaq, #177872)
1754
1755
* Transform failures no longer cause ImmortalLimbo errors (Aaron Bentley,
1756
#137681)
1757
1758
* ``uncommit`` works even when the commit messages of revisions to be
1759
removed use characters not supported in the terminal encoding.
1760
(Aaron Bentley)
1761
1762
* When dumb http servers return whole files instead of the requested ranges,
1763
read the remaining bytes by chunks to avoid overflowing network buffers.
1764
(Vincent Ladeuil, #175886)
1765
1766
DOCUMENTATION:
1767
1768
* Minor tweaks made to the bug tracker integration documentation.
1769
(Ian Clatworthy)
1770
1771
* Reference material has now be moved out of the User Guide and added
1772
to the User Reference. The User Reference has gained 4 sections as
1773
a result: Authenication Settings, Configuration Settings, Conflicts
1774
and Hooks. All help topics are now dumped into text format in the
1775
doc/en/user-reference directory for those who like browsing that
1776
information in their editor. (Ian Clatworthy)
1777
1778
* *Using Bazaar with Launchpad* tutorial added. (Ian Clatworthy)
1779
1780
INTERNALS:
1781
1782
* find_* methods available for BzrDirs, Branches and WorkingTrees.
1783

1784
1785
* Help topics can now be loaded from files.
1786
(Ian Clatworthy, Alexander Belchenko)
1787
1788
* get_parent_map now always provides tuples as its output. (Aaron Bentley)
1789
1790
* Parent Providers should now implement ``get_parent_map`` returning a
1791
dictionary instead of ``get_parents`` returning a list.
1792
``Graph.get_parents`` is now deprecated. (John Arbash Meinel,
1793
Robert Collins)
1794
1795
* Patience Diff now supports arbitrary python objects, as long as they
1796
support ``hash()``. (John Arbash Meinel)
1797
1798
* Reduce selftest overhead to establish test names by memoization.

1805
* Modules can now customise their tests by defining a ``load_tests``
1806
attribute. ``pydoc bzrlib.tests.TestUtil.TestLoader.loadTestsFromModule``
1807
for the documentation on this attribute. (Robert Collins)
1808
1809
* New helper function ``bzrlib.tests.condition_id_re`` which helps
1810
filter tests based on a regular expression search on the tests id.
1811
(Robert Collins)
1812
1813
* New helper function ``bzrlib.tests.condition_isinstance`` which helps
1814
filter tests based on class. (Robert Collins)
1815
1816
* New helper function ``bzrlib.tests.exclude_suite_by_condition`` which
1817
generalises the ``exclude_suite_by_re`` function. (Robert Collins)
1818
1819
* New helper function ``bzrlib.tests.filter_suite_by_condition`` which
1820
generalises the ``filter_suite_by_re`` function. (Robert Collins)
1821
1822
* New helper method ``bzrlib.tests.exclude_tests_by_re`` which gives a new
1823
TestSuite that does not contain tests from the input that matched a
1824
regular expression. (Robert Collins)
1825
1826
* New helper method ``bzrlib.tests.randomize_suite`` which returns a
1827
randomized copy of the input suite. (Robert Collins)
1828
1829
* New helper method ``bzrlib.tests.split_suite_by_re`` which splits a test
1830
suite into two according to a regular expression. (Robert Collins)
1831
1832
* Parametrize all http tests for the transport implementations, the http
1833
protocol versions (1.0 and 1.1) and the authentication schemes.
1834
(Vincent Ladeuil)
1835
1836
* The ``exclude_pattern`` and ``random_order`` parameters to the function
1837
``bzrlib.tests.filter_suite_by_re`` have been deprecated. (Robert Collins)
1838
1839
* The method ``bzrlib.tests.sort_suite_by_re`` has been deprecated. It is
1840
replaced by the new helper methods added in this release. (Robert Collins)

BUGFIXES:
1871
1872
* Fix Makefile rules for doc generation. (Ian Clatworthy, #175207)
1873
1874
* Give more feedback during long http downloads by making readv deliver data
1875
as it arrives for urllib, and issue more requests for pycurl. High latency
1876
networks are better handled by urllib, the pycurl implementation give more
1877
feedback but also incur more latency.
1878
(Vincent Ladeuil, #173010)
1879
1880
* Implement _make_parents_provider on RemoteRepository, allowing generating
1881
bundles against branches on a smart server. (Andrew Bennetts, #147836)

INTERNALS:
1891
1892
* readv urllib http implementation is now a real iterator above the

IMPROVEMENTS:
1902
1903
* Added a --coverage option to selftest. (Andrew Bennetts)
1904
1905
* Annotate merge (merge-type=weave) now supports cherrypicking.
1906
(Aaron Bentley)
1907
1908
* ``bzr commit`` now doesn't print the revision number twice. (Matt
1909
Nordhoff, #172612)
1910
1911
* New configuration option ``bugtracker_<tracker_abbrevation>_url`` to
1912
define locations of bug trackers that are not directly supported by
1913
bzr or a plugin. The URL will be treated as a template and ``{id}``
1914
placeholders will be replaced by specific bug IDs. (Lukáš Lalinský)
1915
1916
* Support logging single merge revisions with short and line log formatters.
1917
(Kent Gibson)
1918
1919
* User Guide enhanced with suggested readability improvements from
1920
Matt Revell and corrections from John Arbash Meinel. (Ian Clatworthy)
1921
1922
* Quick Start Guide renamed to Quick Start Card, moved down in
1923
the catalog, provided in pdf and png format and updated to refer
1924
to ``send`` instead of ``bundle``. (Ian Clatworthy, #165080)
1925
1926
* ``switch`` can now be used on heavyweight checkouts as well as
1927
lightweight ones. After switching a heavyweight checkout, the
1928
local branch is a mirror/cache of the new bound branch and
1929
uncommitted changes in the working tree are merged. As a safety
1930
check, if there are local commits in a checkout which have not
1931
been committed to the previously bound branch, then ``switch``
1932
fails unless the ``--force`` option is given. This option is
1933
now also required if the branch a lightweight checkout is pointing
1934
to has been moved. (Ian Clatworthy)
1935
1936
INTERNALS:
1937
1938
* New -Dhttp debug option reports http connections, requests and responses.

* New -Dmerge debug option, which emits merge plans for merge-type=weave.
1942
1943
BUGFIXES:
1944
1945
* Better error message when running ``bzr cat`` on a non-existant branch.
1946
(Lukáš Lalinský, #133782)
1947
1948
* Catch OSError 17 (file exists) in final phase of tree transform and show
1949
filename to user.
1950
(Alexander Belchenko, #111758)
1951
1952
* Catch ShortReadvErrors while using pycurl. Also make readv more robust by
1953
allowing multiple GET requests to be issued if too many ranges are
1954
required.
1955
(Vincent Ladeuil, #172701)
1956
1957
* Check for missing basis texts when fetching from packs to packs.
1958
(John Arbash Meinel, #165290)
1959
1960
* Fall back to showing e-mail in ``log --short/--line`` if the
1961
committer/author has only e-mail. (Lukáš Lalinský, #157026)
1962
1963
API BREAKS:
1964

1970
---------------------
1971
1972
NOTES WHEN UPGRADING:
1973
1974
* The default repository format is now ``pack-0.92``. This
1975
default is used when creating new repositories with ``init`` and
1976
``init-repo``, and when branching over bzr+ssh or bzr+hpss.
1977
(See https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/164626)
1978
1979
This format can be read and written by Bazaar 0.92 and later, and
1980
data can be transferred to and from older formats.
1981
1982
To upgrade, please reconcile your repository (``bzr reconcile``), and then
1983
upgrade (``bzr upgrade``).
1984
1985
``pack-0.92`` offers substantially better scaling and performance than the
1986
previous knits format. Some operations are slower where the code already
1987
had bad scaling characteristics under knits, the pack format makes such
1988
operations more visible as part of being more scalable overall. We will
1989
correct such operations over the coming releases and encourage the filing
1990
of bugs on any operation which you observe to be slower in a packs
1991
repository. One particular case that we do not intend to fix is pulling
1992
data from a pack repository into a knit repository over a high latency
1993
link; downgrading such data requires reinsertion of the file texts, and
1994
this is a classic space/time tradeoff. The current implementation is
1995
conservative on memory usage because we need to support converting data
1996
from any tree without problems.
1997
(Robert Collins, Martin Pool, #164476)

1999
CHANGES:
2000
2001
* Disable detection of plink.exe as possible ssh vendor. Plink vendor
2002
still available if user selects it explicitly with BZR_SSH environment
2003
variable. (Alexander Belchenko, workaround for bug #107593)
2004
2005
* The pack format is now accessible as "pack-0.92", or "pack-0.92-subtree"
2006
to enable the subtree functions (for example, for bzr-svn).
2007
See http://doc.bazaar-vcs.org/latest/developer/packrepo.html
2008
(Martin Pool)
2009
2010
FEATURES:
2011
2012
* New ``authentication.conf`` file holding the password or other credentials
2013
for remote servers. This can be used for ssh, sftp, smtp and other
2014
supported transports.
2015
(Vincent Ladeuil)
2016
2017
* New rich-root and rich-root-pack formats, recording the same data about
2018
tree roots that's recorded for all other directories.
2019
(Aaron Bentley, #164639)
2020
2021
* ``pack-0.92`` repositories can now be reconciled.
2022
(Robert Collins, #154173)
2023
2024
* ``switch`` command added for changing the branch a lightweight checkout
2025
is associated with and updating the tree to reflect the latest content
2026
accordingly. This command was previously part of the BzrTools plug-in.
2027
(Ian Clatworthy, Aaron Bentley, David Allouche)
2028
2029
* ``reconfigure`` command can now convert branches, trees, or checkouts to
2030
lightweight checkouts. (Aaron Bentley)
2031
2032
PERFORMANCE:
2033
2034
* Commit updates the state of the working tree via a delta rather than
2035
supplying entirely new basis trees. For commit of a single specified file
2036
this reduces the wall clock time for commit by roughly a 30%.
2037
(Robert Collins, Martin Pool)
2038
2039
* Commit with many automatically found deleted paths no longer performs
2040
linear scanning for the children of those paths during inventory
2041
iteration. This should fix commit performance blowing out when many such
2042
paths occur during commit. (Robert Collins, #156491)
2043
2044
* Fetch with pack repositories will no longer read the entire history graph.
2045
(Robert Collins, #88319)
2046
2047
* Revert takes out an appropriate lock when reverting to a basis tree, and
2048
does not read the basis inventory twice. (Robert Collins)
2049
2050
* Diff does not require an inventory to be generated on dirstate trees.
2051
(Aaron Bentley, #149254)
2052
2053
* New annotate merge (--merge-type=weave) implementation is fast on
2054
versionedfiles withough cached annotations, e.g. pack-0.92.
2055
(Aaron Bentley)
2056
2057
IMPROVEMENTS:
2058
2059
* ``bzr merge`` now warns when it encounters a criss-cross merge.
2060
(Aaron Bentley)
2061
2062
* ``bzr send`` now doesn't require the target e-mail address to be
2063
specified on the command line if an interactive e-mail client is used.
2064
(Lukáš Lalinský)
2065
2066
* ``bzr tags`` now prints the revision number for each tag, instead of
2067
the revision id, unless --show-ids is passed. In addition, tags can be
2068
sorted chronologically instead of lexicographically with --sort=time.
2069
(Adeodato Simó, #120231)
2070
2071
* Windows standalone version of bzr is able to load system-wide plugins from
2072
"plugins" subdirectory in installation directory. In addition standalone
2073
installer write to the registry (HKLM\SOFTWARE\Bazaar) useful info
2074
about paths and bzr version. (Alexander Belchenko, #129298)

* A progress bar has been added for knitpack -> knitpack fetching.
2081
(Robert Collins, #157789, #159147)
2082
2083
* Branching from a branch via smart server now preserves the repository
2084
format. (Andrew Bennetts, #164626)
2085
2086
* ``commit`` is now able to invoke an external editor in a non-ascii
2087
directory. (Daniel Watkins, #84043)
2088
2089
* Catch connection errors for ftp.
2090
(Vincent Ladeuil, #164567)
2091
2092
* ``check`` no longer reports spurious unreferenced text versions.
2093
(Robert Collins, John A Meinel, #162931, #165071)
2094
2095
* Conflicts are now resolved recursively by ``revert``.
2096
(Aaron Bentley, #102739)
2097
2098
* Detect invalid transport reuse attempts by catching invalid URLs.
2099
(Vincent Ladeuil, #161819)

2101
* Deleting a file without removing it shows a correct diff, not a traceback.
2102
(Aaron Bentley)
2103
2104
* Do no use timeout in HttpServer anymore.
2105
(Vincent Ladeuil, #158972).
2106
2107
* Don't catch the exceptions related to the http pipeline status before
2108
retrying an http request or some programming errors may be masked.
2109
(Vincent Ladeuil, #160012)
2110
2111
* Fix ``bzr rm`` to not delete modified and ignored files.
2112
(Lukáš Lalinský, #172598)
2113
2114
* Fix exception when revisionspec contains merge revisons but log
2115
formatter doesn't support merge revisions. (Kent Gibson, #148908)
2116
2117
* Fix exception when ScopeReplacer is assigned to before any members have
2118
been retrieved. (Aaron Bentley)
2119
2120
* Fix multiple connections during checkout --lightweight.
2121
(Vincent Ladeuil, #159150)
2122
2123
* Fix possible error in insert_data_stream when copying between
2124
pack repositories over bzr+ssh or bzr+http.
2125
KnitVersionedFile.get_data_stream now makes sure that requested
2126
compression parents are sent before any delta hunks that depend
2127
on them.
2128
(Martin Pool, #164637)
2129
2130
* Fix typo in limiting offsets coalescing for http, leading to
2131
whole files being downloaded instead of parts.
2132
(Vincent Ladeuil, #165061)
2133
2134
* FTP server errors don't error in the error handling code.
2135
(Robert Collins, #161240)
2136
2137
* Give a clearer message when a pull fails because the source needs
2138
to be reconciled.
2139
(Martin Pool, #164443)
2140
2141
* It is clearer when a plugin cannot be loaded because of its name, and a
2142
suggestion for an acceptable name is given. (Daniel Watkins, #103023)
2143
2144
* Leave port as None in transport objects if user doesn't
2145
specify a port in urls.
2146
(vincent Ladeuil, #150860)
2147
2148
* Make sure Repository.fetch(self) is properly a no-op for all
2149
Repository implementations. (John Arbash Meinel, #158333)
2150
2151
* Mark .bzr directories as "hidden" on Windows.
2152
(Alexander Belchenko, #71147)
2153
2154
* ``merge --uncommitted`` can now operate on a single file.
2155
(Aaron Bentley, Lukáš Lalinský, #136890)
2156
2157
* Obsolete packs are now cleaned up by pack and autopack operations.
2158
(Robert Collins, #153789)
2159
2160
* Operations pulling data from a smart server where the underlying
2161
repositories are not both annotated/both unannotated will now work.
2162
(Robert Collins, #165304).
2163
2164
* Reconcile now shows progress bars. (Robert Collins, #159351)
2165
2166
* ``RemoteBranch`` was not initializing ``self._revision_id_to_revno_map``
2167
properly. (John Arbash Meinel, #162486)
2168
2169
* Removing an already-removed file reports the file does not exist. (Daniel
2170
Watkins, #152811)
2171
2172
* Rename on Windows is able to change filename case.
2173
(Alexander Belchenko, #77740)
2174
2175
* Return error instead of a traceback for ``bzr log -r0``.
2176
(Kent Gibson, #133751)
2177
2178
* Return error instead of a traceback when bzr is unable to create
2179
symlink on some platforms (e.g. on Windows).
2180
(Alexander Belchenko, workaround for #81689)
2181
2182
* Revert doesn't crash when restoring a single file from a deleted
2183
directory. (Aaron Bentley)
2184
2185
* Stderr output via logging mechanism now goes through encoded wrapper
2186
and no more uses utf-8, but terminal encoding instead. So all unicode
2187
strings now should be readable in non-utf-8 terminal.
2188
(Alexander Belchenko, #54173)
2189
2190
* The error message when ``move --after`` should be used makes how to do so
2191
clearer. (Daniel Watkins, #85237)
2192
2193
* Unicode-safe output from ``bzr info``. The output will be encoded
2194
using the terminal encoding and unrepresentable characters will be
2195
replaced by '?'. (Lukáš Lalinský, #151844)
2196
2197
* Working trees are no longer created when pushing into a local no-trees
2198
repo. (Daniel Watkins, #50582)
2199
2200
* Upgrade util/configobj to version 4.4.0.
2201
(Vincent Ladeuil, #151208).
2202
2203
* Wrap medusa ftp test server as an FTPServer feature.
2204
(Vincent Ladeuil, #157752)
2205
2206
API BREAKS:
2207
2208
* ``osutils.backup_file`` is deprecated. Actually it's not used in bzrlib
2209
during very long time. (Alexander Belchenko)
2210
2211
* The return value of
2212
``VersionedFile.iter_lines_added_or_present_in_versions`` has been
2213
changed. Previously it was an iterator of lines, now it is an iterator of
2214
(line, version_id) tuples. This change has been made to aid reconcile and
2215
fetch operations. (Robert Collins)
2216
2217
* ``bzrlib.repository.get_versioned_file_checker`` is now private.
2218
(Robert Collins)
2219
2220
* The Repository format registry default has been removed; it was previously
2221
obsoleted by the bzrdir format default, which implies a default repository
2222
format.
2223
(Martin Pool)
2224
2225
INTERNALS:
2226
2227
* Added ``ContainerSerialiser`` and ``ContainerPushParser`` to
2228
``bzrlib.pack``. These classes provide more convenient APIs for generating
2229
and parsing containers from streams rather than from files. (Andrew
2230
Bennetts)
2231
2232
* New module ``lru_cache`` providing a cache for use by tasks that need
2233
semi-random access to large amounts of data. (John A Meinel)
2234
2235
* InventoryEntry.diff is now deprecated. Please use diff.DiffTree instead.

2251
NOTES WHEN UPGRADING:
2252
2253
CHANGES:
2254
2255
* ``bzr`` now returns exit code 4 if an internal error occurred, and
2256
3 if a normal error occurred. (Martin Pool)
2257
2258
* ``pull``, ``merge`` and ``push`` will no longer silently correct some
2259
repository index errors that occured as a result of the Weave disk format.
2260
Instead the ``reconcile`` command needs to be run to correct those
2261
problems if they exist (and it has been able to fix most such problems
2262
since bzr 0.8). Some new problems have been identified during this release
2263
and you should run ``bzr check`` once on every repository to see if you
2264
need to reconcile. If you cannot ``pull`` or ``merge`` from a remote
2265
repository due to mismatched parent errors - a symptom of index errors -
2266
you should simply take a full copy of that remote repository to a clean
2267
directory outside any local repositories, then run reconcile on it, and
2268
finally pull from it locally. (And naturally email the repositories owner
2269
to ask them to upgrade and run reconcile).
2270
(Robert Collins)
2271
2272
FEATURES:
2273
2274
* New ``knitpack-experimental`` repository format. This is interoperable with
2275
the ``dirstate-tags`` format but uses a smarter storage design that greatly
2276
speeds up many operations, both local and remote. This new format can be
2277
used as an option to the ``init``, ``init-repository`` and ``upgrade``
2278
commands. See http://doc.bazaar-vcs.org/0.92/developers/knitpack.html
2279
for further details. (Robert Collins)
2280
2281
* For users of bzr-svn (and those testing the prototype subtree support) that
2282
wish to try packs, a new ``knitpack-subtree-experimental`` format has also
2283
been added. This is interoperable with the ``dirstate-subtrees`` format.
2284
(Robert Collins)
2285
2286
* New ``reconfigure`` command. (Aaron Bentley)
2287
2288
* New ``revert --forget-merges`` command, which removes the record of a pending
2289
merge without affecting the working tree contents. (Martin Pool)
2290
2291
* New ``bzr_remote_path`` configuration variable allows finer control of
2292
remote bzr locations than BZR_REMOTE_PATH environment variable.
2293
(Aaron Bentley)
2294
2295
* New ``launchpad-login`` command to tell Bazaar your Launchpad
2296
user ID. This can then be used by other functions of the
2297
Launchpad plugin. (James Henstridge)
2298
2299
PERFORMANCE:
2300
2301
* Commit in quiet mode is now slightly faster as the information to
2302
output is no longer calculated. (Ian Clatworthy)
2303
2304
* Commit no longer checks for new text keys during insertion when the
2305
revision id was deterministically unique. (Robert Collins)
2306
2307
* Committing a change which is not a merge and does not change the number of
2308
files in the tree is faster by utilising the data about whether files are
2309
changed to determine if the tree is unchanged rather than recalculating
2310
it at the end of the commit process. (Robert Collins)
2311
2312
* Inventory serialisation no longer double-sha's the content.
2313
(Robert Collins)
2314
2315
* Knit text reconstruction now avoids making copies of the lines list for
2316
interim texts when building a single text. The new ``apply_delta`` method
2317
on ``KnitContent`` aids this by allowing modification of the revision id
2318
such objects represent. (Robert Collins)
2319
2320
* Pack indices are now partially parsed for specific key lookup using a
2321
bisection approach. (Robert Collins)
2322
2323
* Partial commits are now approximately 40% faster by walking over the
2324
unselected current tree more efficiently. (Robert Collins)
2325
2326
* XML inventory serialisation takes 20% less time while being stricter about
2327
the contents. (Robert Collins)
2328
2329
* Graph ``heads()`` queries have been fixed to no longer access all history
2330
unnecessarily. (Robert Collins)
2331
2332
IMPROVEMENTS:
2333
2334
* ``bzr+https://`` smart server across https now supported.
2335
(John Ferlito, Martin Pool, #128456)
2336
2337
* Mutt is now a supported mail client; set ``mail_client=mutt`` in your
2338
bazaar.conf and ``send`` will use mutt. (Keir Mierle)
2339
2340
* New option ``-c``/``--change`` for ``merge`` command for cherrypicking
2341
changes from one revision. (Alexander Belchenko, #141368)
2342
2343
* Show encodings, locale and list of plugins in the traceback message.
2344
(Martin Pool, #63894)
2345
2346
* Experimental directory formats can now be marked with
2347
``experimental = True`` during registration. (Ian Clatworthy)
2348
2349
DOCUMENTATION:
2350
2351
* New *Bazaar in Five Minutes* guide. (Matthew Revell)
2352
2353
* The hooks reference documentation is now converted to html as expected.
2354
(Ian Clatworthy)
2355
2356
BUG FIXES:
2357
2358
* Connection error reporting for the smart server has been fixed to
2359
display a user friendly message instead of a traceback.
2360
(Ian Clatworthy, #115601)
2361
2362
* Make sure to use ``O_BINARY`` when opening files to check their
2363
sha1sum. (Alexander Belchenko, John Arbash Meinel, #153493)
2364
2365
* Fix a problem with Win32 handling of the executable bit.
2366
(John Arbash Meinel, #149113)
2367
2368
* ``bzr+ssh://`` and ``sftp://`` URLs that do not specify ports explicitly
2369
no longer assume that means port 22. This allows people using OpenSSH to
2370
override the default port in their ``~/.ssh/config`` if they wish. This
2371
fixes a bug introduced in bzr 0.91. (Andrew Bennetts, #146715)
2372
2373
* Commands reporting exceptions can now be profiled and still have their
2374
data correctly dumped to a file. For example, a ``bzr commit`` with
2375
no changes still reports the operation as pointless but doing so no
2376
longer throws away the profiling data if this command is run with
2377
``--lsprof-file callgrind.out.ci`` say. (Ian Clatworthy)
2378
2379
* Fallback to ftp when paramiko is not installed and sftp can't be used for
2380
``tests/commands`` so that the test suite is still usable without
2381
paramiko.
2382
(Vincent Ladeuil, #59150)
2383
2384
* Fix commit ordering in corner case. (Aaron Bentley, #94975)
2385
2386
* Fix long standing bug in partial commit when there are renames
2387
left in tree. (Robert Collins, #140419)
2388
2389
* Fix selftest semi-random noise during http related tests.
2390
(Vincent Ladeuil, #140614)
2391
2392
* Fix typo in ftp.py making the reconnection fail on temporary errors.
2393
(Vincent Ladeuil, #154259)
2394
2395
* Fix failing test by comparing real paths to cover the case where the TMPDIR
2396
contains a symbolic link.
2397
(Vincent Ladeuil, #141382).
2398
2399
* Fix log against smart server branches that don't support tags.
2400
(James Westby, #140615)
2401
2402
* Fix pycurl http implementation by defining error codes from
2403
pycurl instead of relying on an old curl definition.
2404
(Vincent Ladeuil, #147530)
2405
2406
* Fix 'unprintable error' message when displaying BzrCheckError and
2407
some other exceptions on Python 2.5.
2408
(Martin Pool, #144633)
2409
2410
* Fix ``Inventory.copy()`` and add test for it. (Jelmer Vernooij)
2411
2412
* Handles default value for ListOption in cmd_commit.
2413
(Vincent Ladeuil, #140432)
2414
2415
* HttpServer and FtpServer need to be closed properly or a listening socket
2416
will remain opened.
2417
(Vincent Ladeuil, #140055)
2418
2419
* Monitor the .bzr directory created in the top level test
2420
directory to detect leaking tests.
2421
(Vincent Ladeuil, #147986)
2422
2423
* The basename, not the full path, is now used when checking whether
2424
the profiling dump file begins with ``callgrind.out`` or not. This
2425
fixes a bug reported by Aaron Bentley on IRC. (Ian Clatworthy)
2426
2427
* Trivial fix for invoking command ``reconfigure`` without arguments.
2428
(Rob Weir, #141629)
2429
2430
* ``WorkingTree.rename_one`` will now raise an error if normalisation of the
2431
new path causes bzr to be unable to access the file. (Robert Collins)
2432
2433
* Correctly detect a NoSuchFile when using a filezilla server. (Gary van der
2434
Merwe)
2435
2436
API BREAKS:
2437
2438
* ``bzrlib.index.GraphIndex`` now requires a size parameter to the
2439
constructor, for enabling bisection searches. (Robert Collins)
2440
2441
* ``CommitBuilder.record_entry_contents`` now requires the root entry of a
2442
tree be supplied to it, previously failing to do so would trigger a
2443
deprecation warning. (Robert Collins)
2444
2445
* ``KnitVersionedFile.add*`` will no longer cache added records even when
2446
enable_cache() has been called - the caching feature is now exclusively for
2447
reading existing data. (Robert Collins)
2448
2449
* ``ReadOnlyLockError`` is deprecated; ``LockFailed`` is usually more
2450
appropriate. (Martin Pool)
2451
2452
* Removed ``bzrlib.transport.TransportLogger`` - please see the new
2453
``trace+`` transport instead. (Robert Collins)
2454
2455
* Removed previously deprecated varargs interface to ``TestCase.run_bzr`` and
2456
deprecated methods ``TestCase.capture`` and ``TestCase.run_bzr_captured``.
2457
(Martin Pool)
2458
2459
* Removed previous deprecated ``basis_knit`` parameter to the
2460
``KnitVersionedFile`` constructor. (Robert Collins)
2461
2462
* Special purpose method ``TestCase.run_bzr_decode`` is moved to the test_non_ascii
2463
class that needs it.
2464
(Martin Pool)
2465
2466
* The class ``bzrlib.repofmt.knitrepo.KnitRepository3`` has been folded into
2467
``KnitRepository`` by parameters to the constructor. (Robert Collins)
2468
2469
* The ``VersionedFile`` interface now allows content checks to be bypassed
2470
by supplying check_content=False. This saves nearly 30% of the minimum
2471
cost to store a version of a file. (Robert Collins)
2472
2473
* Tree's with bad state such as files with no length or sha will no longer
2474
be silently accepted by the repository XML serialiser. To serialise
2475
inventories without such data, pass working=True to write_inventory.
2476
(Robert Collins)
2477
2478
* ``VersionedFile.fix_parents`` has been removed as a harmful API.
2479
``VersionedFile.join`` will no longer accept different parents on either
2480
side of a join - it will either ignore them, or error, depending on the
2481
implementation. See notes when upgrading for more information.
2482
(Robert Collins)
2483
2484
INTERNALS:
2485
2486
* ``bzrlib.transport.Transport.put_file`` now returns the number of bytes
2487
put by the method call, to allow avoiding stat-after-write or
2488
housekeeping in callers. (Robert Collins)
2489
2490
* ``bzrlib.xml_serializer.Serializer`` is now responsible for checking that
2491
mandatory attributes are present on serialisation and deserialisation.
2492
This fixes some holes in API usage and allows better separation between
2493
physical storage and object serialisation. (Robert Collins)
2494
2495
* New class ``bzrlib.errors.InternalBzrError`` which is just a convenient
2496
shorthand for deriving from BzrError and setting internal_error = True.
2497
(Robert Collins)
2498
2499
* New method ``bzrlib.mutabletree.update_to_one_parent_via_delta`` for
2500
moving the state of a parent tree to a new version via a delta rather than
2501
a complete replacement tree. (Robert Collins)
2502
2503
* New method ``bzrlib.osutils.minimum_path_selection`` useful for removing
2504
duplication from user input, when a user mentions both a path and an item
2505
contained within that path. (Robert Collins)
2506
2507
* New method ``bzrlib.repository.Repository.is_write_locked`` useful for
2508
determining if a repository is write locked. (Robert Collins)
2509
2510
* New method on ``bzrlib.tree.Tree`` ``path_content_summary`` provides a
2511
tuple containing the key information about a path for commit processing
2512
to complete. (Robert Collins)
2513
2514
* New method on xml serialisers, write_inventory_to_lines, which matches the
2515
API used by knits for adding content. (Robert Collins)
2516
2517
* New module ``bzrlib.bisect_multi`` with generic multiple-bisection-at-once
2518
logic, currently only available for byte-based lookup
2519
(``bisect_multi_bytes``). (Robert Collins)
2520
2521
* New helper ``bzrlib.tuned_gzip.bytes_to_gzip`` which takes a byte string
2522
and returns a gzipped version of the same. This is used to avoid a bunch
2523
of api friction during adding of knit hunks. (Robert Collins)
2524
2525
* New parameter on ``bzrlib.transport.Transport.readv``
2526
``adjust_for_latency`` which changes readv from returning strictly the
2527
requested data to inserted return larger ranges and in forward read order
2528
to reduce the effect of network latency. (Robert Collins)
2529
2530
* New parameter yield_parents on ``Inventory.iter_entries_by_dir`` which
2531
causes the parents of a selected id to be returned recursively, so all the
2532
paths from the root down to each element of selected_file_ids are
2533
returned. (Robert Collins)
2534
2535
* Knit joining has been enhanced to support plain to annotated conversion
2536
and annotated to plain conversion. (Ian Clatworthy)
2537
2538
* The CommitBuilder method ``record_entry_contents`` now returns summary
2539
information about the effect of the commit on the repository. This tuple
2540
contains an inventory delta item if the entry changed from the basis, and a
2541
boolean indicating whether a new file graph node was recorded.
2542
(Robert Collins)
2543
2544
* The python path used in the Makefile can now be overridden.
2545
(Andrew Bennetts, Ian Clatworthy)
2546
2547
TESTING:
2548
2549
* New transport implementation ``trace+`` which is useful for testing,
2550
logging activity taken to its _activity attribute. (Robert Collins)
2551
2552
* When running bzr commands within the test suite, internal exceptions are
2553
not caught and reported in the usual way, but rather allowed to propagate
2554
up and be visible to the test suite. A new API ``run_bzr_catch_user_errors``
2555
makes this behavior available to other users.
2556
(Martin Pool)
2557
2558
* New method ``TestCase.call_catch_warnings`` for testing methods that
2559
raises a Python warning. (Martin Pool)
2560
2561
2562
bzr 0.91 2007-09-26
2563
-------------------
2564
2565
BUG FIXES:
2566
2567
* Print a warning instead of aborting the ``python setup.py install``
2568
process if building of a C extension is not possible.
2569
(Lukáš Lalinský, Alexander Belchenko)
2570
2571
* Fix commit ordering in corner case (Aaron Bentley, #94975)
2572
2573
* Fix ''bzr info bzr://host/'' and other operations on ''bzr://' URLs with
2574
an implicit port. We were incorrectly raising PathNotChild due to
2575
inconsistent treatment of the ''_port'' attribute on the Transport object.
2576
(Andrew Bennetts, #133965)
2577
2578
* Make RemoteRepository.sprout cope gracefully with servers that don't
2579
support the ``Repository.tarball`` request.
2580
(Andrew Bennetts)
2581
2582
2583
bzr 0.91rc2 2007-09-11
2584
----------------------
2585
2586
* Replaced incorrect tarball for previous release; a debug statement was left
2587
in bzrlib/remote.py.
2588
2589
2590
bzr 0.91rc1 2007-09-11
2591
----------------------
2592
2593
CHANGES:
2594
2595
* The default branch and repository format has changed to
2596
``dirstate-tags``, so tag commands are active by default.
2597
This format is compatible with Bazaar 0.15 and later.
2598
This incidentally fixes bug #126141.
2599
(Martin Pool)
2600
2601
* ``--quiet`` or ``-q`` is no longer a global option. If present, it
2602
must now appear after the command name. Scripts doing things like
2603
``bzr -q missing`` need to be rewritten as ``bzr missing -q``.
2604
(Ian Clatworthy)
2605
2606
FEATURES:
2607
2608
* New option ``--author`` in ``bzr commit`` to specify the author of the
2609
change, if it's different from the committer. ``bzr log`` and
2610
``bzr annotate`` display the author instead of the committer.
2611
(Lukáš Lalinský)
2612
2613
* In addition to global options and command specific options, a set of
2614
standard options are now supported. Standard options are legal for
2615
all commands. The initial set of standard options are:
2616
2617
* ``--help`` or ``-h`` - display help message
2618
* ``--verbose`` or ``-v`` - display additional information
2619
* ``--quiet`` or ``-q`` - only output warnings and errors.
2620
2621
Unlike global options, standard options can be used in aliases and
2622
may have command-specific help. (Ian Clatworthy)
2623
2624
* Verbosity level processing has now been unified. If ``--verbose``
2625
or ``-v`` is specified on the command line multiple times, the
2626
verbosity level is made positive the first time then increased.
2627
If ``--quiet`` or ``-q`` is specified on the command line
2628
multiple times, the verbosity level is made negative the first
2629
time then decreased. To get the default verbosity level of zero,
2630
either specify none of the above , ``--no-verbose`` or ``--no-quiet``.
2631
Note that most commands currently ignore the magnitude of the
2632
verbosity level but do respect *quiet vs normal vs verbose* when
2633
generating output. (Ian Clatworthy)
2634
2635
* ``Branch.hooks`` now supports ``pre_commit`` hook. The hook's signature
2636
is documented in BranchHooks constructor. (Nam T. Nguyen, #102747)
2637
2638
* New ``Repository.stream_knit_data_for_revisions`` request added to the
2639
network protocol for greatly reduced roundtrips when retrieving a set of
2640
revisions. (Andrew Bennetts)
2641
2642
BUG FIXES:
2643
2644
* ``bzr plugins`` now lists the version number for each plugin in square
2645
brackets after the path. (Robert Collins, #125421)
2646
2647
* Pushing, pulling and branching branches with subtree references was not
2648
copying the subtree weave, preventing the file graph from being accessed
2649
and causing errors in commits in clones. (Robert Collins)
2650
2651
* Suppress warning "integer argument expected, got float" from Paramiko,
2652
which sometimes caused false test failures. (Martin Pool)
2653
2654
* Fix bug in bundle 4 that could cause attempts to write data to wrong
2655
versionedfile. (Aaron Bentley)
2656
2657
* Diffs generated using "diff -p" no longer break the patch parser.
2658
(Aaron Bentley)
2659
2660
* get_transport treats an empty possible_transports list the same as a non-
2661
empty one. (Aaron Bentley)
2662
2663
* patch verification for merge directives is reactivated, and works with
2664
CRLF and CR files. (Aaron Bentley)
2665
2666
* Accept ..\ as a path in revision specifiers. This fixes for example
2667
"-r branch:..\other-branch" on Windows. (Lukáš Lalinský)
2668
2669
* ``BZR_PLUGIN_PATH`` may now contain trailing slashes.
2670
(Blake Winton, #129299)
2671
2672
* man page no longer lists hidden options (#131667, Aaron Bentley)
2673
2674
* ``uncommit --help`` now explains the -r option adequately. (Daniel
2675
Watkins, #106726)
2676
2677
* Error messages are now better formatted with parameters (such as
2678
filenames) quoted when necessary. This avoids confusion when directory
2679
names ending in a '.' at the end of messages were confused with a
2680
full stop that may or not have been there. (Daniel Watkins, #129791)
2681
2682
* Fix ``status FILE -r X..Y``. (Lukáš Lalinský)
2683
2684
* If a particular command is an alias, ``help`` will show the alias
2685
instead of claiming there is no help for said alias. (Daniel Watkins,
2686
#133548)
2687
2688
* TreeTransform-based operations, like pull, merge, revert, and branch,
2689
now roll back if they encounter an error. (Aaron Bentley, #67699)
2690
2691
* ``bzr commit`` now exits cleanly if a character unsupported by the
2692
current encoding is used in the commit message. (Daniel Watkins,
2693
#116143)
2694
2695
* bzr send uses default values for ranges when only half of an elipsis
2696
is specified ("-r..5" or "-r5.."). (#61685, Aaron Bentley)
2697
2698
* Avoid trouble when Windows ssh calls itself 'plink' but no plink
2699
binary is present. (Martin Albisetti, #107155)
2700
2701
* ``bzr remove`` should remove clean subtrees. Now it will remove (without
2702
needing ``--force``) subtrees that contain no files with text changes or
2703
modified files. With ``--force`` it removes the subtree regardless of
2704
text changes or unknown files. Directories with renames in or out (but
2705
not changed otherwise) will now be removed without needing ``--force``.
2706
Unknown ignored files will be deleted without needing ``--force``.
2707
(Marius Kruger, #111665)
2708
2709
* When two plugins conflict, the source of both the losing and now the
2710
winning definition is shown. (Konstantin Mikhaylov, #5454)
2711
2712
* When committing to a branch, the location being committed to is
2713
displayed. (Daniel Watkins, #52479)
2714
2715
* ``bzr --version`` takes care about encoding of stdout, especially
2716
when output is redirected. (Alexander Belchenko, #131100)
2717
2718
* Prompt for an ftp password if none is provided.
2719
(Vincent Ladeuil, #137044)
2720
2721
* Reuse bound branch associated transport to avoid multiple
2722
connections.
2723
(Vincent Ladeuil, #128076, #131396)
2724
2725
* Overwrite conflicting tags by ``push`` and ``pull`` if the
2726
``--overwrite`` option is specified. (Lukáš Lalinský, #93947)
2727
2728
* In checkouts, tags are copied into the master branch when created,
2729
changed or deleted, and are copied into the checkout when it is
2730
updated. (Martin Pool, #93856, #93860)
2731
2732
* Print a warning instead of aborting the ``python setup.py install``
2733
process if building of a C extension is not possible.
2734
(Lukáš Lalinský, Alexander Belchenko)
2735
2736
IMPROVEMENTS:
2737
2738
* Add the option "--show-diff" to the commit command in order to display
2739
the diff during the commit log creation. (Goffredo Baroncelli)
2740
2741
* ``pull`` and ``merge`` are much faster at installing bundle format 4.
2742
(Aaron Bentley)
2743
2744
* ``pull -v`` no longer includes deltas, making it much faster.
2745
(Aaron Bentley)
2746
2747
* ``send`` now sends the directive as an attachment by default.
2748
(Aaron Bentley, Lukáš Lalinský, Alexander Belchenko)
2749
2750
* Documentation updates (Martin Albisetti)
2751
2752
* Help on debug flags is now included in ``help global-options``.
2753
(Daniel Watkins, #124853)
2754
2755
* Parameters passed on the command line are checked to ensure they are
2756
supported by the encoding in use. (Daniel Watkins)
2757
2758
* The compression used within the bzr repository has changed from zlib
2759
level 9 to the zlib default level. This improves commit performance with
2760
only a small increase in space used (and in some cases a reduction in
2761
space). (Robert Collins)
2762
2763
* Initial commit no longer SHAs files twice and now reuses the path
2764
rather than looking it up again, making it faster.
2765
(Ian Clatworthy)
2766
2767
* New option ``-c``/``--change`` for ``diff`` and ``status`` to show
2768
changes in one revision. (Lukáš Lalinský)
2769
2770
* If versioned files match a given ignore pattern, a warning is now
2771
given. (Daniel Watkins, #48623)
2772
2773
* ``bzr status`` now has -S as a short name for --short and -V as a
2774
short name for --versioned. These have been added to assist users
2775
migrating from Subversion: ``bzr status -SV`` is now like
2776
``svn status -q``. (Daniel Watkins, #115990)
2777
2778
* Added C implementation of ``PatienceSequenceMatcher``, which is about
2779
10x faster than the Python version. This speeds up commands that
2780
need file diffing, such as ``bzr commit`` or ``bzr diff``.
2781
(Lukáš Lalinský)
2782
2783
* HACKING has been extended with a large section on core developer tasks.
2784
(Ian Clatworthy)
2785
2786
* Add ``branches`` and ``standalone-trees`` as online help topics and
2787
include them as Concepts within the User Reference.
2788
(Paul Moore, Ian Clatworthy)
2789
2790
* ``check`` can detect versionedfile parent references that are
2791
inconsistent with revision and inventory info, and ``reconcile`` can fix
2792
them. These faulty references were generated by 0.8-era releases,
2793
so repositories which were manipulated by old bzrs should be
2794
checked, and possibly reconciled ASAP. (Aaron Bentley, Andrew Bennetts)
2795
2796
API BREAKS:
2797
2798
* ``Branch.append_revision`` is removed altogether; please use
2799
``Branch.set_last_revision_info`` instead. (Martin Pool)
2800
2801
* CommitBuilder now advertises itself as requiring the root entry to be
2802
supplied. This only affects foreign repository implementations which reuse
2803
CommitBuilder directly and have changed record_entry_contents to require
2804
that the root not be supplied. This should be precisely zero plugins
2805
affected. (Robert Collins)
2806
2807
* The ``add_lines`` methods on ``VersionedFile`` implementations has changed
2808
its return value to include the sha1 and length of the inserted text. This
2809
allows the avoidance of double-sha1 calculations during commit.
2810
(Robert Collins)
2811
2812
* ``Transport.should_cache`` has been removed. It was not called in the
2813
previous release. (Martin Pool)
2814
2815
TESTING:
2816
2817
* Tests may now raise TestNotApplicable to indicate they shouldn't be
2818
run in a particular scenario. (Martin Pool)
2819
2820
* New function multiply_tests_from_modules to give a simpler interface
2821
to test parameterization. (Martin Pool, Robert Collins)
2822
2823
* ``Transport.should_cache`` has been removed. It was not called in the
2824
previous release. (Martin Pool)
2825
2826
* NULL_REVISION is returned to indicate the null revision, not None.
2827
(Aaron Bentley)
2828
2829
* Use UTF-8 encoded StringIO for log tests to avoid failures on
2830
non-ASCII committer names. (Lukáš Lalinský)
2831
2832
INTERNALS:
2833
2834
* ``bzrlib.plugin.all_plugins`` has been deprecated in favour of
2835
``bzrlib.plugin.plugins()`` which returns PlugIn objects that provide
2836
useful functionality for determining the path of a plugin, its tests, and
2837
its version information. (Robert Collins)
2838
2839
* Add the option user_encoding to the function 'show_diff_trees()'
2840
in order to move the user encoding at the UI level. (Goffredo Baroncelli)
2841
2842
* Add the function make_commit_message_template_encoded() and the function
2843
edit_commit_message_encoded() which handle encoded strings.
2844
This is done in order to mix the commit messages (which is a unicode
2845
string), and the diff which is a raw string. (Goffredo Baroncelli)
2846
2847
* CommitBuilder now defaults to using add_lines_with_ghosts, reducing
2848
overhead on non-weave repositories which don't require all parents to be
2849
present. (Robert Collins)
2850
2851
* Deprecated method ``find_previous_heads`` on
2852
``bzrlib.inventory.InventoryEntry``. This has been superseded by the use
2853
of ``parent_candidates`` and a separate heads check via the repository
2854
API. (Robert Collins)
2855
2856
* New trace function ``mutter_callsite`` will print out a subset of the
2857
stack to the log, which can be useful for gathering debug details.
2858
(Robert Collins)
2859
2860
* ``bzrlib.pack.ContainerWriter`` now tracks how many records have been
2861
added via a public attribute records_written. (Robert Collins)
2862
2863
* New method ``bzrlib.transport.Transport.get_recommended_page_size``.
2864
This provides a hint to users of transports as to the reasonable
2865
minimum data to read. In principle this can take latency and
2866
bandwidth into account on a per-connection basis, but for now it
2867
just has hard coded values based on the url. (e.g. http:// has a large
2868
page size, file:// has a small one.) (Robert Collins)
2869
2870
* New method on ``bzrlib.transport.Transport`` ``open_write_stream`` allows
2871
incremental addition of data to a file without requiring that all the
2872
data be buffered in memory. (Robert Collins)
2873
2874
* New methods on ``bzrlib.knit.KnitVersionedFile``:
2875
``get_data_stream(versions)``, ``insert_data_stream(stream)`` and
2876
``get_format_signature()``. These provide some infrastructure for
2877
efficiently streaming the knit data for a set of versions over the smart
2878
protocol.
2879
2880
* Knits with no annotation cache still produce correct annotations.
2881
(Aaron Bentley)
2882
2883
* Three new methods have been added to ``bzrlib.trace``:
2884
``set_verbosity_level``, ``get_verbosity_level`` and ``is_verbose``.
2885
``set_verbosity_level`` expects a numeric value: negative for quiet,
2886
zero for normal, positive for verbose. The size of the number can be
2887
used to determine just how quiet or verbose the application should be.
2888
The existing ``be_quiet`` and ``is_quiet`` routines have been
2889
integrated into this new scheme. (Ian Clatworthy)
2890
2891
* Options can now be delcared with a ``custom_callback`` parameter. If
2892
set, this routine is called after the option is processed. This feature
2893
is now used by the standard options ``verbose`` and ``quiet`` so that
2894
setting one implicitly resets the other. (Ian Clatworthy)
2895
2896
* Rather than declaring a new option from scratch in order to provide
2897
custom help, a centrally registered option can be decorated using the
2898
new ``bzrlib.Option.custom_help`` routine. In particular, this routine
2899
is useful when declaring better help for the ``verbose`` and ``quiet``
2900
standard options as the base definition of these is now more complex
2901
than before thanks to their use of a custom callback. (Ian Clatworthy)
2902
2903
* Tree._iter_changes(specific_file=[]) now iterates through no files,
2904
instead of iterating through all files. None is used to iterate through
2905
all files. (Aaron Bentley)
2906
2907
* WorkingTree.revert() now accepts None to revert all files. The use of
2908
[] to revert all files is deprecated. (Aaron Bentley)

bzr 0.90 2007-08-28
2912
-------------------
2913
2914
IMPROVEMENTS:
2915
2916
* Documentation is now organized into multiple directories with a level
2917
added for different languages or locales. Added the Mini Tutorial
2918
and Quick Start Summary (en) documents from the Wiki, improving the
2919
content and readability of the former. Formatted NEWS as Release Notes
2920
complete with a Table of Conents, one heading per release. Moved the
2921
Developer Guide into the main document catalog and provided a link
2922
from the developer document catalog back to the main one.
2923
(Ian Clatworthy, Sabin Iacob, Alexander Belchenko)
2924
2925
2926
API CHANGES:
2927
2928
* The static convenience method ``BzrDir.create_repository``
2929
is deprecated. Callers should instead create a ``BzrDir`` instance
2930
and call ``create_repository`` on that. (Martin Pool)
2931
2932
2933
bzr 0.90rc1 2007-08-14
2934
----------------------
2935
2936
BUGFIXES:
2937
2938
* ``bzr init`` should connect to the remote location one time only. We
2939
have been connecting several times because we forget to pass around the
2940
Transport object. This modifies ``BzrDir.create_branch_convenience``,
2941
so that we can give it the Transport we already have.
2942
(John Arbash Meinel, Vincent Ladeuil, #111702)
2943
2944
* Get rid of sftp connection cache (get rid of the FTP one too).
2945
(Vincent Ladeuil, #43731)
2946
2947
* bzr branch {local|remote} remote don't try to create a working tree
2948
anymore.
2949
(Vincent Ladeuil, #112173)
2950
2951
* All identified multiple connections for a single bzr command have been
2952
fixed. See bzrlib/tests/commands directory.
2953
(Vincent Ladeuil)
2954
2955
* ``bzr rm`` now does not insist on ``--force`` to delete files that
2956
have been renamed but not otherwise modified. (Marius Kruger,
2957
#111664)
2958
2959
* ``bzr selftest --bench`` no longer emits deprecation warnings
2960
(Lukáš Lalinský)
2961
2962
* ``bzr status`` now honours FILE parameters for conflict lists
2963
(Aaron Bentley, #127606)
2964
2965
* ``bzr checkout`` now honours -r when reconstituting a working tree.
2966
It also honours -r 0. (Aaron Bentley, #127708)
2967
2968
* ``bzr add *`` no more fails on Windows if working tree contains
2969
non-ascii file names. (Kuno Meyer, #127361)
2970
2971
* allow ``easy_install bzr`` runs without fatal errors.
2972
(Alexander Belchenko, #125521)
2973
2974
* Graph._filter_candidate_lca does not raise KeyError if a candidate
2975
is eliminated just before it would normally be examined. (Aaron Bentley)
2976
2977
* SMTP connection failures produce a nice message, not a traceback.
2978
(Aaron Bentley)
2979
2980
IMPROVEMENTS:
2981
2982
* Don't show "dots" progress indicators when run non-interactively, such
2983
as from cron. (Martin Pool)
2984
2985
* ``info`` now formats locations more nicely and lists "submit" and
2986
"public" branches (Aaron Bentley)
2987
2988
* New ``pack`` command that will trigger database compression within
2989
the repository (Robert Collins)
2990
2991
* Implement ``_KnitIndex._load_data`` in a pyrex extension. The pyrex
2992
version is approximately 2-3x faster at parsing a ``.kndx`` file.
2993
Which yields a measurable improvement for commands which have to
2994
read from the repository, such as a 1s => 0.75s improvement in
2995
``bzr diff`` when there are changes to be shown. (John Arbash Meinel)
2996
2997
* Merge is now faster. Depending on the scenario, it can be more than 2x
2998
faster. (Aaron Bentley)
2999
3000
* Give a clearer warning, and allow ``python setup.py install`` to
3001
succeed even if pyrex is not available.
3002
(John Arbash Meinel)
3003
3004
* ``DirState._read_dirblocks`` now has an optional Pyrex
3005
implementation. This improves the speed of any command that has to
3006
read the entire DirState. (``diff``, ``status``, etc, improve by
3007
about 10%).
3008
``bisect_dirblocks`` has also been improved, which helps all
3009
``_get_entry`` type calls (whenever we are searching for a
3010
particular entry in the in-memory DirState).
3011
(John Arbash Meinel)
3012
3013
* ``bzr pull`` and ``bzr push`` no longer do a complete walk of the
3014
branch revision history for ui display unless -v is supplied.
3015
(Robert Collins)
3016
3017
* ``bzr log -rA..B`` output shifted to the left margin if the log only
3018
contains merge revisions. (Kent Gibson)
3019
3020
* The ``plugins`` command is now public with improved help.
3021
(Ian Clatworthy)
3022
3023
* New bundle and merge directive formats are faster to generate, and
3024
3025
* Annotate merge now works when there are local changes. (Aaron Bentley)
3026
3027
* Commit now only shows the progress in terms of directories instead of
3028
entries. (Ian Clatworthy)
3029
3030
* Fix ``KnitRepository.get_revision_graph`` to not request the graph 2
3031
times. This makes ``get_revision_graph`` 2x faster. (John Arbash
3032
Meinel)
3033
3034
* Fix ``VersionedFile.get_graph()`` to avoid using
3035
``set.difference_update(other)``, which has bad scaling when
3036
``other`` is large. This improves ``VF.get_graph([version_id])`` for
3037
a 12.5k graph from 2.9s down to 200ms. (John Arbash Meinel)
3038
3039
* The ``--lsprof-file`` option now generates output for KCacheGrind if
3040
the file starts with ``callgrind.out``. This matches the default file
3041
filtering done by KCacheGrind's Open Dialog. (Ian Clatworthy)
3042
3043
* Fix ``bzr update`` to avoid an unnecessary
3044
``branch.get_master_branch`` call, which avoids 1 extra connection
3045
to the remote server. (Partial fix for #128076, John Arbash Meinel)
3046
3047
* Log errors from the smart server in the trace file, to make debugging
3048
test failures (and live failures!) easier. (Andrew Bennetts)
3049
3050
* The HTML version of the man page has been superceded by a more
3051
comprehensive manual called the Bazaar User Reference. This manual
3052
is completed generated from the online help topics. As part of this
3053
change, limited reStructuredText is now explicitly supported in help
3054
topics and command help with 'unnatural' markup being removed prior
3055
to display by the online help or inclusion in the man page.
3056
(Ian Clatworthy)
3057
3058
* HTML documentation now use files extension ``*.html``
3059
(Alexander Belchenko)
3060
3061
* The cache of ignore definitions is now cleared in WorkingTree.unlock()
3062
so that changes to .bzrignore aren't missed. (#129694, Daniel Watkins)
3063
3064
* ``bzr selftest --strict`` fails if there are any missing features or
3065
expected test failures. (Daniel Watkins, #111914)
3066
3067
* Link to registration survey added to README. (Ian Clatworthy)
3068
3069
* Windows standalone installer show link to registration survey
3070
when installation finished. (Alexander Belchenko)
3071
3072
LIBRARY API BREAKS:
3073
3074
* Deprecated dictionary ``bzrlib.option.SHORT_OPTIONS`` removed.
3075
Options are now required to provide a help string and it must
3076
comply with the style guide by being one or more sentences with an
3077
initial capital and final period. (Martin Pool)
3078
3079
* KnitIndex.get_parents now returns tuples. (Robert Collins)
3080
3081
* Ancient unused ``Repository.text_store`` attribute has been removed.
3082
(Robert Collins)
3083
3084
* The ``bzrlib.pack`` interface has changed to use tuples of bytestrings
3085
rather than just bytestrings, making it easier to represent multiple
3086
element names. As this interface was not used by any internal facilities
3087
since it was introduced in 0.18 no API compatibility is being preserved.
3088
The serialised form of these packs is identical with 0.18 when a single
3089
element tuple is in use. (Robert Collins)
3090
3091
INTERNALS:
3092
3093
* merge now uses ``iter_changes`` to calculate changes, which makes room for
3094
future performance increases. It is also more consistent with other
3095
operations that perform comparisons, and reduces reliance on
3096
Tree.inventory. (Aaron Bentley)
3097
3098
* Refactoring of transport classes connected to a remote server.
3099
ConnectedTransport is a new class that serves as a basis for all
3100
transports needing to connect to a remote server. transport.split_url
3101
have been deprecated, use the static method on the object instead. URL
3102
tests have been refactored too.
3103
(Vincent Ladeuil)
3104
3105
* Better connection sharing for ConnectedTransport objects.
3106
transport.get_transport() now accepts a 'possible_transports' parameter.
3107
If a newly requested transport can share a connection with one of the
3108
list, it will.
3109
(Vincent Ladeuil)
3110
3111
* Most functions now accept ``bzrlib.revision.NULL_REVISION`` to indicate
3112
the null revision, and consider using ``None`` for this purpose
3113
deprecated. (Aaron Bentley)
3114
3115
* New ``index`` module with abstract index functionality. This will be
3116
used during the planned changes in the repository layer. Currently the
3117
index layer provides a graph aware immutable index, a builder for the
3118
same index type to allow creating them, and finally a composer for
3119
such indices to allow the use of many indices in a single query. The
3120
index performance is not optimised, however the API is stable to allow
3121
development on top of the index. (Robert Collins)
3122
3123
* ``bzrlib.dirstate.cmp_by_dirs`` can be used to compare two paths by
3124
their directory sections. This is equivalent to comparing
3125
``path.split('/')``, only without having to split the paths.
3126
This has a Pyrex implementation available.
3127
(John Arbash Meinel)
3128
3129
* New transport decorator 'unlistable+' which disables the list_dir
3130
functionality for testing.
3131
3132
* Deprecated ``change_entry`` in transform.py. (Ian Clatworthy)
3133
3134
* RevisionTree.get_weave is now deprecated. Tree.plan_merge is now used
3135
for performing annotate-merge. (Aaron Bentley)
3136
3137
* New EmailMessage class to create email messages. (Adeodato Simó)
3138
3139
* Unused functions on the private interface KnitIndex have been removed.
3140
(Robert Collins)
3141
3142
* New ``knit.KnitGraphIndex`` which provides a ``KnitIndex`` layered on top
3143
of a ``index.GraphIndex``. (Robert Collins)
3144
3145
* New ``knit.KnitVersionedFile.iter_parents`` method that allows querying
3146
the parents of many knit nodes at once, reducing round trips to the
3147
underlying index. (Robert Collins)
3148
3149
* Graph now has an is_ancestor method, various bits use it.
3150
(Aaron Bentley)
3151
3152
* The ``-Dhpss`` flag now includes timing information. As well as
3153
logging when a new connection is opened. (John Arbash Meinel)
3154
3155
* ``bzrlib.pack.ContainerWriter`` now returns an offset, length tuple to
3156
callers when inserting data, allowing generation of readv style access
3157
during pack creation, without needing a separate pass across the output
3158
pack to gather such details. (Robert Collins)
3159
3160
* ``bzrlib.pack.make_readv_reader`` allows readv based access to pack
3161
files that are stored on a transport. (Robert Collins)
3162
3163
* New ``Repository.has_same_location`` method that reports if two
3164
repository objects refer to the same repository (although with some risk
3165
of false negatives). (Andrew Bennetts)
3166
3167
* InterTree.compare now passes require_versioned on correctly.
3168
(Marius Kruger)
3169
3170
* New methods on Repository - ``start_write_group``,
3171
``commit_write_group``, ``abort_write_group`` and ``is_in_write_group`` -
3172
which provide a clean hook point for transactional Repositories - ones
3173
where all the data for a fetch or commit needs to be made atomically
3174
available in one step. This allows the write lock to remain while making
3175
a series of data insertions. (e.g. data conversion). (Robert Collins)
3176
3177
* In ``bzrlib.knit`` the internal interface has been altered to use
3178
3-tuples (index, pos, length) rather than two-tuples (pos, length) to
3179
describe where data in a knit is, allowing knits to be split into
3180
many files. (Robert Collins)
3181
3182
* ``bzrlib.knit._KnitData`` split into cache management and physical access
3183
with two access classes - ``_PackAccess`` and ``_KnitAccess`` defined.
3184
The former provides access into a .pack file, and the latter provides the
3185
current production repository form of .knit files. (Robert Collins)
3186
3187
TESTING:
3188
3189
* Remove selftest ``--clean-output``, ``--numbered-dirs`` and
3190
``--keep-output`` options, which are obsolete now that tests
3191
are done within directories in $TMPDIR. (Martin Pool)
3192
3193
* The SSH_AUTH_SOCK environment variable is now reset to avoid
3194
interaction with any running ssh agents. (Jelmer Vernooij, #125955)
3195
3196
* run_bzr_subprocess handles parameters the same way as run_bzr:
3197
either a string or a list of strings should be passed as the first
3198
parameter. Varargs-style parameters are deprecated. (Aaron Bentley)

* Do not suppress pipe errors, etc. in non-display commands
3215
(Alexander Belchenko, #87178)
3216
3217

3218
a file that is not present in the specified revision.
3219
(James Westby, #122656)
3220

(Vincent Ladeuil, #102019).
3251
3252
* Warn when setting ``push_location`` to a value that will be masked by
3253
locations.conf. (Aaron Bentley, #122286)
3254
3255
* Fix commit ordering in corner case (Aaron Bentley, #94975)
3256
3257
* Make annotate behave in a non-ASCII world (Adeodato Simó).
3258
3259
IMPROVEMENTS:
3260
3261
* The --lsprof-file option now dumps a text rendering of the profiling
3262
information if the filename ends in ".txt". It will also convert the
3263
profiling information to a format suitable for KCacheGrind if the
3264
output filename ends in ".callgrind". Fixes to the lsprofcalltree
3265
conversion process by Jean Paul Calderone and Itamar were also merged.
3266
See http://ddaa.net/blog/python/lsprof-calltree. (Ian Clatworthy)
3267
3268
* ``info`` now defaults to non-verbose mode, displaying only paths and
3269
abbreviated format info. ``info -v`` displays all the information
3270
formerly displayed by ``info``. (Aaron Bentley, Adeodato Simó)
3271
3272
* ``bzr missing`` now has better option names ``--this`` and ``--other``.
3273
(Elliot Murphy)
3274
3275
* The internal ``weave-list`` command has become ``versionedfile-list``,
3276
and now lists knits as well as weaves. (Aaron Bentley)
3277
3278
* Automatic merge base selection uses a faster algorithm that chooses
3279
better bases in criss-cross merge situations (Aaron Bentley)
3280
3281
* Progress reporting in ``commit`` has been improved. The various logical
3282
stages are now reported on as follows, namely:
3283
3284
* Collecting changes [Entry x/y] - Stage n/m
3285
* Saving data locally - Stage n/m
3286
* Uploading data to master branch - Stage n/m
3287
* Updating the working tree - Stage n/m
3288
* Running post commit hooks - Stage n/m
3289
3290
If there is no master branch, the 3rd stage is omitted and the total
3291
number of stages is adjusted accordingly.
3292
3293
Each hook that is run after commit is listed with a name (as hooks
3294
can be slow it is useful feedback).
3295
(Ian Clatworthy, Robert Collins)
3296
3297
* Various operations that are now faster due to avoiding unnecessary
3298
topological sorts. (Aaron Bentley)
3299
3300
* Make merge directives robust against broken bundles. (Aaron Bentley)
3301
3302
* The lsprof filename note is emitted via trace.note(), not standard
3303
output. (Aaron Bentley)
3304
3305
* ``bzrlib`` now exports explicit API compatibility information to assist
3306
library users and plugins. See the ``bzrlib.api`` module for details.
3307
(Robert Collins)
3308
3309
* Remove unnecessary lock probes when acquiring a lockdir.
3310
(Martin Pool)
3311
3312
* ``bzr --version`` now shows the location of the bzr log file, which
3313
is especially useful on Windows. (Martin Pool)
3314
3315
* -D now supports hooks to get debug tracing of hooks (though its currently
3316
minimal in nature). (Robert Collins)
3317
3318
* Long log format reports deltas on merge revisions.
3319
(John Arbash Meinel, Kent Gibson)
3320
3321
* Make initial push over ftp more resilient. (John Arbash Meinel)
3322
3323
* Print a summary of changes for update just like pull does.
3324
(Daniel Watkins, #113990)
3325
3326
* Add a -Dhpss option to trace smart protocol requests and responses.
3327
(Andrew Bennetts)
3328
3329
LIBRARY API BREAKS:
3330
3331
* Testing cleanups -
3332
``bzrlib.repository.RepositoryTestProviderAdapter`` has been moved
3333
to ``bzrlib.tests.repository_implementations``;
3334
``bzrlib.repository.InterRepositoryTestProviderAdapter`` has been moved
3335
to ``bzrlib.tests.interrepository_implementations``;
3336
``bzrlib.transport.TransportTestProviderAdapter`` has moved to
3337
``bzrlib.tests.test_transport_implementations``.
3338
``bzrlib.branch.BranchTestProviderAdapter`` has moved to
3339
``bzrlib.tests.branch_implementations``.
3340
``bzrlib.bzrdir.BzrDirTestProviderAdapter`` has moved to
3341
``bzrlib.tests.bzrdir_implementations``.
3342
``bzrlib.versionedfile.InterVersionedFileTestProviderAdapter`` has moved
3343
to ``bzrlib.tests.interversionedfile_implementations``.
3344
``bzrlib.store.revision.RevisionStoreTestProviderAdapter`` has moved to
3345
``bzrlib.tests.revisionstore_implementations``.
3346
``bzrlib.workingtree.WorkingTreeTestProviderAdapter`` has moved to
3347
``bzrlib.tests.workingtree_implementations``.
3348
These changes are an API break in the testing infrastructure only.
3349
(Robert Collins)
3350
3351
* Relocate TestCaseWithRepository to be more central. (Robert Collins)
3352
3353
* ``bzrlib.add.smart_add_tree`` will no longer perform glob expansion on
3354
win32. Callers of the function should do this and use the new
3355
``MutableTree.smart_add`` method instead. (Robert Collins)
3356
3357
* ``bzrlib.add.glob_expand_for_win32`` is now
3358
``bzrlib.win32utils.glob_expand``. (Robert Collins)
3359
3360
* ``bzrlib.add.FastPath`` is now private and moved to
3361
``bzrlib.mutabletree._FastPath``. (Robert Collins, Martin Pool)
3362
3363
* ``LockDir.wait`` removed. (Martin Pool)
3364
3365
* The ``SmartServer`` hooks API has changed for the ``server_started`` and
3366
``server_stopped`` hooks. The first parameter is now an iterable of
3367
backing URLs rather than a single URL. This is to reflect that many
3368
URLs may map to the external URL of the server. E.g. the server interally
3369
may have a chrooted URL but also the local file:// URL will be at the
3370
same location. (Robert Collins)
3371
3372
INTERNALS:
3373
3374
* New SMTPConnection class to unify email handling. (Adeodato Simó)
3375
3376
* Fix documentation of BzrError. (Adeodato Simó)
3377
3378
* Make BzrBadParameter an internal error. (Adeodato Simó)
3379
3380
* Remove use of 'assert False' to raise an exception unconditionally.
3381
(Martin Pool)
3382
3383
* Give a cleaner error when failing to decode knit index entry.
3384
(Martin Pool)
3385
3386
* TreeConfig would mistakenly search the top level when asked for options
3387
from a section. It now respects the section argument and only
3388
searches the specified section. (James Westby)
3389
3390
* Improve ``make api-docs`` output. (John Arbash Meinel)
3391
3392
* Use os.lstat rather than os.stat for osutils.make_readonly and
3393
osutils.make_writeable. This makes the difftools plugin more
3394
robust when dangling symlinks are found. (Elliot Murphy)
3395
3396
* New ``-Dlock`` option to log (to ~/.bzr.log) information on when
3397
lockdirs are taken or released. (Martin Pool)
3398
3399
* ``bzrlib`` Hooks are now nameable using ``Hooks.name_hook``. This
3400
allows a nicer UI when hooks are running as the current hook can
3401
be displayed. (Robert Collins)
3402
3403
* ``Transport.get`` has had its interface made more clear for ease of use.
3404
Retrieval of a directory must now fail with either 'PathError' at open
3405
time, or raise 'ReadError' on a read. (Robert Collins)
3406
3407
* New method ``_maybe_expand_globs`` on the ``Command`` class for
3408
dealing with unexpanded glob lists - e.g. on the win32 platform. This
3409
was moved from ``bzrlib.add._prepare_file_list``. (Robert Collins)
3410
3411
* ``bzrlib.add.smart_add`` and ``bzrlib.add.smart_add_tree`` are now
3412
deprecated in favour of ``MutableTree.smart_add``. (Robert Collins,
3413
Martin Pool)
3414
3415
* New method ``external_url`` on Transport for obtaining the url to
3416
hand to external processes. (Robert Collins)
3417
3418
* Teach windows installers to build pyrex/C extensions.
3419
(Alexander Belchenko)
3420
3421
TESTING:
3422
3423
* Removed the ``--keep-output`` option from selftest and clean up test
3424
directories as they're used. This reduces the IO load from
3425
running the test suite and cuts the time by about half.
3426
(Andrew Bennetts, Martin Pool)
3427
3428
* Add scenarios as a public attribute on the TestAdapter classes to allow
3429
modification of the generated scenarios before adaption and easier
3430
testing. (Robert Collins)
3431
3432
* New testing support class ``TestScenarioApplier`` which multiplies
3433
out a single teste by a list of supplied scenarios. (RobertCollins)
3434
3435
* Setting ``repository_to_test_repository`` on a repository_implementations
3436
test will cause it to be called during repository creation, allowing the
3437
testing of repository classes which are not based around the Format
3438
concept. For example a repository adapter can be tested in this manner,
3439
by altering the repository scenarios to include a scenario that sets this
3440
attribute during the test parameterisation in
3441
``bzrlib.tests.repository.repository_implementations``. (Robert Collins)
3442
3443
* Clean up many of the APIs for blackbox testing of Bazaar. The standard
3444
interface is now self.run_bzr. The command to run can be passed as
3445
either a list of parameters, a string containing the command line, or
3446
(deprecated) varargs parameters. (Martin Pool)
3447
3448
* The base TestCase now isolates tests from -D parameters by clearing
3449
``debug.debug_flags`` and restores it afterwards. (Robert Collins)
3450
3451
* Add a relpath parameter to get_transport methods in test framework to
3452
avoid useless cloning.

3471
NOTES WHEN UPGRADING:
3472
3473
* The kind() and is_executable() APIs on the WorkingTree interface no
3474
longer implicitly (read) locks and unlocks the tree. This *might*
3475
impact some plug-ins and tools using this part of the API. If you find
3476
an issue that may be caused by this change, please let us know,
3477
particularly the plug-in/tool maintainer. If encountered, the API
3478
fix is to surround kind() and is_executable() calls with lock_read()
3479
and unlock() like so::
3480
3481
work_tree.lock_read()
3482
try:
3483
kind = work_tree.kind(...)
3484
finally:
3485
work_tree.unlock()
3486
3487
INTERNALS:
3488
* Rework of LogFormatter API to provide beginning/end of log hooks and to
3489
encapsulate the details of the revision to be logged in a LogRevision
3490
object.
3491
In long log formats, merge revision ids are only shown when --show-ids
3492
is specified, and are labelled "revision-id:", as per mainline
3493
revisions, instead of "merged:". (Kent Gibson)
3494
3495
* New ``BranchBuilder`` API which allows the construction of particular
3496
histories quickly. Useful for testing and potentially other applications
3497
too. (Robert Collins)
3498
3499
IMPROVEMENTS:
3500
3501
* There are two new help topics, working-trees and repositories that
3502
attempt to explain these concepts. (James Westby, John Arbash Meinel,
3503
Aaron Bentley)
3504
3505
* Added ``bzr log --limit`` to report a limited number of revisions.
3506
(Kent Gibson, #3659)
3507
3508
* Revert does not try to preserve file contents that were originally
3509
produced by reverting to a historical revision. (Aaron Bentley)
3510
3511
* ``bzr log --short`` now includes ``[merge]`` for revisions which
3512
have more than one parent. This is a small improvement to help
3513
understanding what changes have occurred
3514
(John Arbash Meinel, #83887)
3515
3516
* TreeTransform avoids many renames when contructing large trees,
3517
improving speed. 3.25x speedups have been observed for construction of
3518
kernel-sized-trees, and checkouts are 1.28x faster. (Aaron Bentley)
3519
3520
* Commit on large trees is now faster. In my environment, a commit of
3521
a small change to the Mozilla tree (55k files) has dropped from
3522
66 seconds to 32 seconds. For a small tree of 600 files, commit of a
3523
small change is 33% faster. (Ian Clatworthy)
3524
3525
* New --create-prefix option to bzr init, like for push. (Daniel Watkins,
3526
#56322)
3527
3528
BUGFIXES:
3529
3530
* ``bzr push`` should only connect to the remote location one time.
3531
We have been connecting 3 times because we forget to pass around
3532
the Transport object. This adds ``BzrDir.clone_on_transport()``, so
3533
that we can pass in the Transport that we already have.
3534
(John Arbash Meinel, #75721)
3535
3536
* ``DirState.set_state_from_inventory()`` needs to properly order
3537
based on split paths, not just string paths.
3538
(John Arbash Meinel, #115947)
3539
3540
* Let TestUIFactoy encode the password prompt with its own stdout.
3541
(Vincent Ladeuil, #110204)
3542
3543
* pycurl should take use the range header that takes the range hint
3544
into account.
3545
(Vincent Ladeuil, #112719)
3546
3547
* WorkingTree4.get_file_sha1 no longer raises an exception when invoked
3548
on a missing file. (Aaron Bentley, #118186)
3549
3550
* WorkingTree.remove works correctly with tree references, and when pwd is
3551
not the tree root. (Aaron Bentley)
3552
3553
* Merge no longer fails when a file is renamed in one tree and deleted
3554
in the other. (Aaron Bentley, #110279)
3555
3556
* ``revision-info`` now accepts dotted revnos, doesn't require a tree,
3557
and defaults to the last revision (Matthew Fuller, #90048)
3558
3559
* Tests no longer fail when BZR_REMOTE_PATH is set in the environment.
3560
(Daniel Watkins, #111958)
3561
3562
* ``bzr branch -r revid:foo`` can be used to branch any revision in
3563
your repository. (Previously Branch6 only supported revisions in your
3564
mainline). (John Arbash Meinel, #115343)

3567
--------------------
3568
3569
BUGFIXES:
3570
3571
* Handle when you have 2 directories with similar names, but one has a
3572
hyphen. (``'abc'`` versus ``'abc-2'``). The WT4._iter_changes
3573
iterator was using direct comparison and ``'abc/a'`` sorts after
3574
``'abc-2'``, but ``('abc', 'a')`` sorts before ``('abc-2',)``.
3575
(John Arbash Meinel, #111227)
3576
3577
* Handle when someone renames a file on disk without telling bzr.
3578
Previously we would report the first file as missing, but not show
3579
the new unknown file. (John Arbash Meinel, #111288)
3580
3581
* Avoid error when running hooks after pulling into or pushing from
3582
a branch bound to a smartserver branch. (Martin Pool, #111968)
3583
3584
IMPROVEMENTS:
3585
3586
* Move developer documentation to doc/developers/. This reduces clutter in
3587
the root of the source tree and allows HACKING to be split into multiple
3588
files. (Robert Collins, Alexander Belchenko)
3589
3590
* Clean up the ``WorkingTree4._iter_changes()`` internal loops as well as
3591
``DirState.update_entry()``. This optimizes the core logic for ``bzr
3592
diff`` and ``bzr status`` significantly improving the speed of
3593
both. (John Arbash Meinel)

3596
-----------------------
3597
3598
BUGFIXES:
3599
3600
* Handle the case when you delete a file, and then rename another file
3601
on top of it. Also handle the case of ``bzr rm --keep foo``. ``bzr
3602
status`` should show the removed file and an unknown file in its
3603
place. (John Arbash Meinel, #109993)
3604
3605
* Bundles properly read and write revision properties that have an
3606
empty value. And when the value is not ASCII.
3607
(John Arbash Meinel, #109613)
3608
3609
* Fix the bzr commit message to be in text mode.
3610
(Alexander Belchenko, #110901)
3611
3612
* Also handle when you rename a file and create a file where it used
3613
to be. (John Arbash Meinel, #110256)
3614
3615
* ``WorkingTree4._iter_changes`` should not descend into unversioned
3616
directories. (John Arbash Meinel, #110399)

3619
-----------------------
3620
3621
NOTES WHEN UPGRADING:
3622
3623
* ``bzr remove`` and ``bzr rm`` will now remove the working file, if
3624
it could be recovered again.
3625
This has been done for consistency with svn and the unix rm command.
3626
The old ``remove`` behaviour has been retained in the new option
3627
``bzr remove --keep``, which will just stop versioning the file,
3628
but not delete it.
3629
``bzr remove --force`` have been added which will always delete the
3630
files.
3631
``bzr remove`` is also more verbose.
3632
(Marius Kruger, #82602)
3633
3634
IMPROVEMENTS:
3635
3636
* Merge directives can now be supplied as input to `merge` and `pull`,
3637
like bundles can. (Aaron Bentley)
3638
3639
* Sending the SIGQUIT signal to bzr, which can be done on Unix by
3640
pressing Control-Backslash, drops bzr into a debugger. Type ``'c'``
3641
to continue. This can be disabled by setting the environment variable
3642
``BZR_SIGQUIT_PDB=0``. (Martin Pool)
3643
3644
* selftest now supports --list-only to list tests instead of running
3645
them. (Ian Clatworthy)
3646
3647
* selftest now supports --exclude PATTERN (or -x PATTERN) to exclude
3648
tests with names that match that regular expression.
3649
(Ian Clatworthy, #102679)
3650
3651
* selftest now supports --randomize SEED to run tests in a random order.
3652
SEED is typically the value 'now' meaning 'use the current time'.
3653
(Ian Clatworthy, #102686)
3654
3655
* New option ``--fixes`` to commit, which stores bug fixing annotations as
3656
revision properties. Built-in support for Launchpad, Debian, Trac and
3657
Bugzilla bug trackers. (Jonathan Lange, James Henstridge, Robert Collins)
3658
3659
* New API, ``bzrlib.bugtracker.tracker_registry``, for adding support for
3660
other bug trackers to ``fixes``. (Jonathan Lange, James Henstridge,
3661
Robert Collins)
3662
3663
* ``selftest`` has new short options ``-f`` and ``-1``. (Martin
3664
Pool)
3665
3666
* ``bzrlib.tsort.MergeSorter`` optimizations. Change the inner loop
3667
into using local variables instead of going through ``self._var``.
3668
Improves the time to ``merge_sort`` a 10k revision graph by
3669
approximately 40% (~700->400ms). (John Arbash Meinel)
3670
3671
* ``make docs`` now creates a man page at ``man1/bzr.1`` fixing bug 107388.
3672
(Robert Collins)
3673
3674
* ``bzr help`` now provides cross references to other help topics using
3675
the _see_also facility on command classes. Likewise the bzr_man
3676
documentation, and the bzr.1 man page also include this information.
3677
(Robert Collins)
3678
3679
* Tags are now included in logs, that use the long log formatter.
3680
(Erik Bågfors, Alexander Belchenko)
3681
3682
* ``bzr help`` provides a clearer message when a help topic cannot be
3683
found. (Robert Collins, #107656)
3684
3685
* ``bzr help`` now accepts optional prefixes for command help. The help
3686
for all commands can now be found at ``bzr help commands/COMMANDNAME``
3687
as well as ``bzr help COMMANDNAME`` (which only works for commands
3688
where the name is not the same as a more general help topic).
3689
(Robert Collins)
3690
3691
* ``bzr help PLUGINNAME`` will now return the module docstring from the
3692
plugin PLUGINNAME. (Robert Collins, #50408)
3693
3694
* New help topic ``urlspec`` which lists the availables transports.
3695
(Goffredo Baroncelli)
3696
3697
* doc/server.txt updated to document the default bzr:// port
3698
and also update the blurb about the hpss' current status.

* ``bzr serve`` now listens on interface 0.0.0.0 by default, making it
3702
serve out to the local LAN (and anyone in the world that can reach the
3703
machine running ``bzr serve``. (Robert Collins, #98918)
3704
3705
* A new smart server protocol version has been added. It prefixes requests
3706
and responses with an explicit version identifier so that future protocol
3707
revisions can be dealt with gracefully. (Andrew Bennetts, Robert Collins)
3708
3709
* The bzr protocol version 2 indicates success or failure in every response
3710
without depending on particular commands encoding that consistently,
3711
allowing future client refactorings to be much more robust about error
3712
handling. (Robert Collins, Martin Pool, Andrew Bennetts)
3713
3714
* The smart protocol over HTTP client has been changed to always post to the
3715
same ``.bzr/smart`` URL under the original location when it can. This allows
3716
HTTP servers to only have to pass URLs ending in .bzr/smart to the smart
3717
server handler, and not arbitrary ``.bzr/*/smart`` URLs. (Andrew Bennetts)
3718
3719
* digest authentication is now supported for proxies and HTTP by the urllib
3720
based http implementation. Tested against Apache 2.0.55 and Squid
3721
2.6.5. Basic and digest authentication are handled coherently for HTTP
3722
and proxy: if the user is provided in the url (bzr command line for HTTP,
3723
proxy environment variables for proxies), the password is prompted for
3724
(only once). If the password is provided, it is taken into account. Once
3725
the first authentication is successful, all further authentication
3726
roundtrips are avoided by preventively setting the right authentication
3727
header(s).
3728
(Vincent Ladeuil).
3729
3730
INTERNALS:
3731
3732
* bzrlib API compatability with 0.8 has been dropped, cleaning up some
3733
code paths. (Robert Collins)
3734
3735
* Change the format of chroot urls so that they can be safely manipulated
3736
by generic url utilities without causing the resulting urls to have
3737
escaped the chroot. A side effect of this is that creating a chroot
3738
requires an explicit action using a ChrootServer.
3739
(Robert Collins, Andrew Bennetts)
3740
3741
* Deprecate ``Branch.get_root_id()`` because branches don't have root ids,
3742
rather than fixing bug #96847. (Aaron Bentley)
3743
3744
* ``WorkingTree.apply_inventory_delta`` provides a better alternative to
3745
``WorkingTree._write_inventory``. (Aaron Bentley)
3746
3747
* Convenience method ``TestCase.expectFailure`` ensures that known failures
3748
do not silently pass. (Aaron Bentley)
3749
3750
* ``Transport.local_abspath`` now raises ``NotLocalUrl`` rather than
3751
``TransportNotPossible``. (Martin Pool, Ian Clatworthy)
3752
3753
* New SmartServer hooks facility. There are two initial hooks documented
3754
in ``bzrlib.transport.smart.SmartServerHooks``. The two initial hooks allow
3755
plugins to execute code upon server startup and shutdown.
3756
(Robert Collins).
3757
3758
* SmartServer in standalone mode will now close its listening socket
3759
when it stops, rather than waiting for garbage collection. This primarily
3760
fixes test suite hangs when a test tries to connect to a shutdown server.
3761
It may also help improve behaviour when dealing with a server running
3762
on a specific port (rather than dynamically assigned ports).
3763
(Robert Collins)
3764
3765
* Move most SmartServer code into a new package, bzrlib/smart.
3766
bzrlib/transport/remote.py contains just the Transport classes that used
3767
to be in bzrlib/transport/smart.py. (Andrew Bennetts)
3768
3769
* urllib http implementation avoid roundtrips associated with
3770
401 (and 407) errors once the authentication succeeds.
3771
(Vincent Ladeuil).
3772
3773
* urlib http now supports querying the user for a proxy password if
3774
needed. Realm is shown in the prompt for both HTTP and proxy
3775
authentication when the user is required to type a password.
3776
(Vincent Ladeuil).
3777
3778
* Renamed SmartTransport (and subclasses like SmartTCPTransport) to
3779
RemoteTransport (and subclasses to RemoteTCPTransport, etc). This is more
3780
consistent with its new home in ``bzrlib/transport/remote.py``, and because
3781
it's not really a "smart" transport, just one that does file operations
3782
via remote procedure calls. (Andrew Bennetts)
3783
3784
* The ``lock_write`` method of ``LockableFiles``, ``Repository`` and
3785
``Branch`` now accept a ``token`` keyword argument, so that separate
3786
instances of those objects can share a lock if it has the right token.
3787
(Andrew Bennetts, Robert Collins)
3788
3789
* New method ``get_branch_reference`` on ``BzrDir`` allows the detection of
3790
branch references - which the smart server component needs.
3791
3792
* The Repository API ``make_working_trees`` is now permitted to return
3793
False when ``set_make_working_trees`` is not implemented - previously
3794
an unimplemented ``set_make_working_trees`` implied the result True
3795
from ``make_working_trees``. This has been changed to accomodate the
3796
smart server, where it does not make sense (at this point) to ever
3797
make working trees by default. (Robert Collins)
3798
3799
* Command objects can now declare related help topics by having _see_also
3800
set to a list of related topic. (Robert Collins)
3801
3802
* ``bzrlib.help`` now delegates to the Command class for Command specific
3803
help. (Robert Collins)
3804
3805
* New class ``TransportListRegistry``, derived from the Registry class, which
3806
simplifies tracking the available Transports. (Goffredo Baroncelli)
3807
3808
* New function ``Branch.get_revision_id_to_revno_map`` which will
3809
return a dictionary mapping revision ids to dotted revnos. Since
3810
dotted revnos are defined in the context of the branch tip, it makes
3811
sense to generate them from a ``Branch`` object.
3812
(John Arbash Meinel)
3813
3814
* Fix the 'Unprintable error' message display to use the repr of the
3815
exception that prevented printing the error because the str value
3816
for it is often not useful in debugging (e.g. KeyError('foo') has a
3817
str() of 'foo' but a repr of 'KeyError('foo')' which is much more
3818
useful. (Robert Collins)
3819
3820
* ``urlutils.normalize_url`` now unescapes unreserved characters, such as "~".
3821
(Andrew Bennetts)

3823
BUGFIXES:
3824
3825
* Don't fail bundle selftest if email has 'two' embedded.
3826
(Ian Clatworthy, #98510)
3827
3828
* Remove ``--verbose`` from ``bzr bundle``. It didn't work anyway.
3829
(Robert Widhopf-Fenk, #98591)
3830
3831
* Remove ``--basis`` from the checkout/branch commands - it didn't work
3832
properly and is no longer beneficial.
3833
(Robert Collins, #53675, #43486)
3834
3835
* Don't produce encoding error when adding duplicate files.
3836
(Aaron Bentley)
3837
3838
* Fix ``bzr log <file>`` so it only logs the revisions that changed
3839
the file, and does it faster.
3840
(Kent Gibson, John Arbash Meinel, #51980, #69477)
3841
3842
* Fix ``InterDirstateTre._iter_changes`` to handle when we come across
3843
an empty versioned directory, which now has files in it.
3844
(John Arbash Meinel, #104257)
3845
3846
* Teach ``common_ancestor`` to shortcut when the tip of one branch is
3847
inside the ancestry of the other. Saves a lot of graph processing
3848
(with an ancestry of 16k revisions, ``bzr merge ../already-merged``
3849
changes from 2m10s to 13s). (John Arbash Meinel, #103757)
3850
3851
* Fix ``show_diff_trees`` to handle the case when a file is modified,
3852
and the containing directory is renamed. (The file path is different
3853
in this versus base, but it isn't marked as a rename).
3854
(John Arbash Meinel, #103870)
3855
3856
* FTP now works even when the FTP server does not support atomic rename.
3857
(Aaron Bentley, #89436)
3858
3859
* Correct handling in bundles and merge directives of timezones with
3860
that are not an integer number of hours offset from UTC. Always
3861
represent the epoch time in UTC to avoid problems with formatting
3862
earlier times on win32. (Martin Pool, Alexander Belchenko, John
3863
Arbash Meinel)
3864
3865
* Typo in the help for ``register-branch`` fixed. (Robert Collins, #96770)
3866
3867
* "dirstate" and "dirstate-tags" formats now produce branches compatible
3868
with old versions of bzr. (Aaron Bentley, #107168))
3869
3870
* Handle moving a directory when children have been added, removed,
3871
and renamed. (John Arbash Meinel, #105479)
3872
3873
* Don't preventively use basic authentication for proxy before receiving a
3874
407 error. Otherwise people willing to use other authentication schemes
3875
may expose their password in the clear (or nearly). This add one
3876
roundtrip in case basic authentication should be used, but plug the
3877
security hole.
3878
(Vincent Ladeuil)
3879
3880
* Handle http and proxy digest authentication.
3881
(Vincent Ladeuil, #94034).
3882
3883
TESTING:
3884
3885
* Added ``bzrlib.strace.strace`` which will strace a single callable and
3886
return a StraceResult object which contains just the syscalls involved
3887
in running it. (Robert Collins)
3888
3889
* New test method ``reduceLockdirTimeout`` to drop the default (ui-centric)
3890
default time down to one suitable for tests. (Andrew Bennetts)
3891
3892
* Add new ``vfs_transport_factory`` attribute on tests which provides the
3893
common vfs backing for both the readonly and readwrite transports.
3894
This allows the RemoteObject tests to back onto local disk or memory,
3895
and use the existing ``transport_server`` attribute all tests know about
3896
to be the smart server transport. This in turn allows tests to
3897
differentiate between 'transport to access the branch', and
3898
'transport which is a VFS' - which matters in Remote* tests.
3899
(Robert Collins, Andrew Bennetts)
3900
3901
* The ``make_branch_and_tree`` method for tests will now create a
3902
lightweight checkout for the tree if the ``vfs_transport_factory`` is not
3903
a LocalURLServer. (Robert Collins, Andrew Bennetts)
3904
3905
* Branch implementation tests have been audited to ensure that all urls
3906
passed to Branch APIs use proper urls, except when local-disk paths
3907
are intended. This is so that tests correctly access the test transport
3908
which is often not equivalent to local disk in Remote* tests. As part
3909
of this many tests were adjusted to remove dependencies on local disk
3910
access.
3911
(Robert Collins, Andrew Bennetts)
3912
3913
* Mark bzrlib.tests and bzrlib.tests.TestUtil as providing assertFOO helper
3914
functions by adding a ``__unittest`` global attribute. (Robert Collins,
3915
Andrew Bennetts, Martin Pool, Jonathan Lange)
3916
3917
* Refactored proxy and authentication handling to simplify the
3918
implementation of new auth schemes for both http and proxy.

CHANGES:
3937
3938
* A warning is now displayed when opening working trees in older
3939
formats, to encourage people to upgrade to WorkingTreeFormat4.
3940
(Martin Pool)
3941
3942
IMPROVEMENTS:
3943
3944
* HTTP redirections are now taken into account when a branch (or a
3945
bundle) is accessed for the first time. A message is issued at each
3946
redirection to inform the user. In the past, http redirections were
3947
silently followed for each request which significantly degraded the
3948
performances. The http redirections are not followed anymore by
3949
default, instead a RedirectRequested exception is raised. For bzrlib
3950
users needing to follow http redirections anyway,
3951
``bzrlib.transport.do_catching_redirections`` provide an easy transition
3952
path. (vila)
3953
3954
INTERNALS:
3955
3956
* Added ``ReadLock.temporary_write_lock()`` to allow upgrading an OS read
3957
lock to an OS write lock. Linux can do this without unlocking, Win32
3958
needs to unlock in between. (John Arbash Meinel)
3959
3960
* New parameter ``recommend_upgrade`` to ``BzrDir.open_workingtree``
3961
to silence (when false) warnings about opening old formats.
3962
(Martin Pool)
3963
3964
* Fix minor performance regression with bzr-0.15 on pre-dirstate
3965
trees. (We were reading the working inventory too many times).
3966
(John Arbash Meinel)
3967
3968
* Remove ``Branch.get_transaction()`` in favour of a simple cache of
3969
``revision_history``. Branch subclasses should override
3970
``_gen_revision_history`` rather than ``revision_history`` to make use of
3971
this cache, and call ``_clear_revision_history_cache`` and
3972
``_cache_revision_history`` at appropriate times. (Andrew Bennetts)
3973
3974
BUGFIXES:
3975
3976
* Take ``smtp_server`` from user config into account.
3977
(vila, #92195)
3978
3979
* Restore Unicode filename handling for versioned and unversioned files.
3980
(John Arbash Meinel, #92608)
3981
3982
* Don't fail during ``bzr commit`` if a file is marked removed, and
3983
the containing directory is auto-removed. (John Arbash Meinel, #93681)
3984
3985
* ``bzr status FILENAME`` failed on Windows because of an uncommon
3986
errno. (``ERROR_DIRECTORY == 267 != ENOTDIR``).
3987
(Wouter van Heyst, John Arbash Meinel, #90819)
3988
3989
* ``bzr checkout source`` should create a local branch in the same
3990
format as source. (John Arbash Meinel, #93854)
3991
3992
* ``bzr commit`` with a kind change was failing to update the
3993
last-changed-revision for directories. The
3994
InventoryDirectory._unchanged only looked at the ``parent_id`` and name,
3995
ignoring the fact that the kind could have changed, too.
3996
(John Arbash Meinel, #90111)
3997
3998
* ``bzr mv dir/subdir other`` was incorrectly updating files inside
3999
the directory. So that there was a chance it would break commit,
4000
etc. (John Arbash Meinel, #94037)
4001
4002
* Correctly handles mutiple permanent http redirections.

4006
-----------------------
4007
4008
NOTES WHEN UPGRADING:
4009
4010
* Release 0.15rc2 of bzr changes the ``bzr init-repo`` command to
4011
default to ``--trees`` instead of ``--no-trees``.
4012
Existing shared repositories are not affected.
4013
4014
IMPROVEMENTS:
4015
4016
* New ``merge-directive`` command to generate machine- and human-readable
4017
merge requests. (Aaron Bentley)
4018
4019
* New ``submit:`` revision specifier makes it easy to diff against the
4020
common ancestor with the submit location (Aaron Bentley)
4021
4022
* Added support for Putty's SSH implementation. (Dmitry Vasiliev)
4023
4024
* Added ``bzr status --versioned`` to report only versioned files,
4025
not unknowns. (Kent Gibson)
4026
4027
* Merge now autodetects the correct line-ending style for its conflict
4028
markers. (Aaron Bentley)
4029
4030
INTERNALS:
4031
4032
* Refactored SSH vendor registration into SSHVendorManager class.
4033
(Dmitry Vasiliev)
4034
4035
BUGFIXES:
4036
4037
* New ``--numbered-dirs`` option to ``bzr selftest`` to use
4038
numbered dirs for TestCaseInTempDir. This is default behavior
4039
on Windows. Anyone can force named dirs on Windows
4040
with ``--no-numbered-dirs``. (Alexander Belchenko)
4041
4042
* Fix ``RevisionSpec_revid`` to handle the Unicode strings passed in
4043
from the command line. (Marien Zwart, #90501)
4044
4045
* Fix ``TreeTransform._iter_changes`` when both the source and
4046
destination are missing. (Aaron Bentley, #88842)
4047
4048
* Fix commit of merges with symlinks in dirstate trees.
4049
(Marien Zwart)
4050
4051
* Switch the ``bzr init-repo`` default from --no-trees to --trees.

bzr 0.15rc1 2007-03-07
4056
-----------------------
4057
4058
SURPRISES:
4059
4060
* The default disk format has changed. Please run 'bzr upgrade' in your
4061
working trees to upgrade. This new default is compatible for network
4062
operations, but not for local operations. That is, if you have two
4063
versions of bzr installed locally, after upgrading you can only use the
4064
bzr 0.15 version. This new default does not enable tags or nested-trees
4065
as they are incompatible with bzr versions before 0.15 over the network.
4066
4067
* For users of bzrlib: Two major changes have been made to the working tree
4068
api in bzrlib. The first is that many methods and attributes, including
4069
the inventory attribute, are no longer valid for use until one of
4070
``lock_read``/``lock_write``/``lock_tree_write`` has been called,
4071
and become invalid again after unlock is called. This has been done
4072
to improve performance and correctness as part of the dirstate
4073
development.
4074
(Robert Collins, John A Meinel, Martin Pool, and others).
4075
4076
* For users of bzrlib: The attribute 'tree.inventory' should be considered
4077
readonly. Previously it was possible to directly alter this attribute, or
4078
its contents, and have the tree notice this. This has been made
4079
unsupported - it may work in some tree formats, but in the newer dirstate
4080
format such actions will have no effect and will be ignored, or even
4081
cause assertions. All operations possible can still be carried out by a
4082
combination of the tree API, and the bzrlib.transform API. (Robert
4083
Collins, John A Meinel, Martin Pool, and others).
4084
4085
IMPROVEMENTS:
4086
4087
* Support for OS Windows 98. Also .bzr.log on any windows system
4088
saved in My Documents folder. (Alexander Belchenko)
4089
4090
* ``bzr mv`` enhanced to support already moved files.
4091
In the past the mv command would have failed if the source file doesn't
4092
exist. In this situation ``bzr mv`` would now detect that the file has
4093
already moved and update the repository accordingly, if the target file
4094
does exist.
4095
A new option ``--after`` has been added so that if two files already
4096
exist, you could notify Bazaar that you have moved a (versioned) file
4097
and replaced it with another. Thus in this case ``bzr move --after``
4098
will only update the Bazaar identifier.
4099
(Steffen Eichenberg, Marius Kruger)
4100
4101
* ``ls`` now works on treeless branches and remote branches.
4102
(Aaron Bentley)
4103
4104
* ``bzr help global-options`` describes the global options.
4105
(Aaron Bentley)
4106
4107
* ``bzr pull --overwrite`` will now correctly overwrite checkouts.
4108
(Robert Collins)
4109
4110
* Files are now allowed to change kind (e.g. from file to symlink).
4111
Supported by ``commit``, ``revert`` and ``status``
4112
(Aaron Bentley)
4113
4114
* ``inventory`` and ``unknowns`` hidden in favour of ``ls``
4115
(Aaron Bentley)
4116
4117
* ``bzr help checkouts`` descibes what checkouts are and some possible
4118
uses of them. (James Westby, Aaron Bentley)
4119
4120
* A new ``-d`` option to push, pull and merge overrides the default
4121
directory. (Martin Pool)
4122
4123
* Branch format 6: smaller, and potentially faster than format 5. Supports
4124
``append_history_only`` mode, where the log view and revnos do not change,
4125
except by being added to. Stores policy settings in
4126
".bzr/branch/branch.conf".
4127
4128
* ``append_only`` branches: Format 6 branches may be configured so that log
4129
view and revnos are always consistent. Either create the branch using
4130
"bzr init --append-revisions-only" or edit the config file as descriped
4131
in docs/configuration.txt.
4132
4133
* rebind: Format 6 branches retain the last-used bind location, so if you
4134
"bzr unbind", you can "bzr bind" to bind to the previously-selected
4135
bind location.
4136
4137
* Builtin tags support, created and deleted by the ``tag`` command and
4138
stored in the branch. Tags can be accessed with the revisionspec
4139
``-rtag:``, and listed with ``bzr tags``. Tags are not versioned
4140
at present. Tags require a network incompatible upgrade. To perform this
4141
upgrade, run ``bzr upgrade --dirstate-tags`` in your branch and
4142
repositories. (Martin Pool)
4143
4144
* The ``bzr://`` transport now has a well-known port number, 4155,
4145
which it will use by default. (Andrew Bennetts, Martin Pool)

4147
* Bazaar now looks for user-installed plugins before looking for site-wide
4148
plugins. (Jonathan Lange)
4149
4150
* ``bzr resolve`` now detects and marks resolved text conflicts.
4151
(Aaron Bentley)
4152
4153
INTERNALS:
4154
4155
* Internally revision ids and file ids are now passed around as utf-8
4156
bytestrings, rather than treating them as Unicode strings. This has
4157
performance benefits for Knits, since we no longer need to decode the
4158
revision id for each line of content, nor for each entry in the index.
4159
This will also help with the future dirstate format.
4160
(John Arbash Meinel)
4161
4162
* Reserved ids (any revision-id ending in a colon) are rejected by
4163
versionedfiles, repositories, branches, and working trees
4164
(Aaron Bentley)
4165
4166
* Minor performance improvement by not creating a ProgressBar for
4167
every KnitIndex we create. (about 90ms for a bzr.dev tree)
4168
(John Arbash Meinel)
4169
4170
* New easier to use Branch hooks facility. There are five initial hooks,
4171
all documented in bzrlib.branch.BranchHooks.__init__ - ``'set_rh'``,
4172
``'post_push'``, ``'post_pull'``, ``'post_commit'``,
4173
``'post_uncommit'``. These hooks fire after the matching operation
4174
on a branch has taken place, and were originally added for the
4175
branchrss plugin. (Robert Collins)
4176
4177
* New method ``Branch.push()`` which should be used when pushing from a
4178
branch as it makes performance and policy decisions to match the UI
4179
level command ``push``. (Robert Collins).
4180
4181
* Add a new method ``Tree.revision_tree`` which allows access to cached
4182
trees for arbitrary revisions. This allows the in development dirstate
4183
tree format to provide access to the callers to cached copies of
4184
inventory data which are cheaper to access than inventories from the
4185
repository.
4186
(Robert Collins, Martin Pool)
4187
4188
* New ``Branch.last_revision_info`` method, this is being done to allow
4189
optimization of requests for both the number of revisions and the last
4190
revision of a branch with smartservers and potentially future branch
4191
formats. (Wouter van Heyst, Robert Collins)
4192
4193
* Allow ``'import bzrlib.plugins.NAME'`` to work when the plugin NAME has not
4194
yet been loaded by ``load_plugins()``. This allows plugins to depend on each
4195
other for code reuse without requiring users to perform file-renaming
4196
gymnastics. (Robert Collins)
4197
4198
* New Repository method ``'gather_stats'`` for statistic data collection.
4199
This is expected to grow to cover a number of related uses mainly
4200
related to bzr info. (Robert Collins)
4201
4202
* Log formatters are now managed with a registry.
4203
``log.register_formatter`` continues to work, but callers accessing
4204
the FORMATTERS dictionary directly will not.
4205
4206
* Allow a start message to be passed to the ``edit_commit_message``
4207
function. This will be placed in the message offered to the user
4208
for editing above the separator. It allows a template commit message
4209
to be used more easily. (James Westby)
4210
4211
* ``GPGStrategy.sign()`` will now raise ``BzrBadParameterUnicode`` if
4212
you pass a Unicode string rather than an 8-bit string. Callers need
4213
to be updated to encode first. (John Arbash Meinel)
4214
4215
* Branch.push, pull, merge now return Result objects with information
4216
about what happened, rather than a scattering of various methods. These
4217
are also passed to the post hooks. (Martin Pool)
4218
4219
* File formats and architecture is in place for managing a forest of trees
4220
in bzr, and splitting up existing trees into smaller subtrees, and
4221
finally joining trees to make a larger tree. This is the first iteration
4222
of this support, and the user-facing aspects still require substantial
4223
work. If you wish to experiment with it, use ``bzr upgrade
4224
--dirstate-with-subtree`` in your working trees and repositories.
4225
You can use the hidden commands ``split`` and ``join`` and to create
4226
and manipulate nested trees, but please consider using the nested-trees
4227
branch, which contains substantial UI improvements, instead.

(Aaron Bentley, Martin Pool, Robert Collins).
4230
4231
BUGFIXES:
4232
4233
* ``bzr annotate`` now uses dotted revnos from the viewpoint of the
4234
branch, rather than the last changed revision of the file.
4235
(John Arbash Meinel, #82158)
4236
4237
* Lock operations no longer hang if they encounter a permission problem.
4238
(Aaron Bentley)
4239
4240
* ``bzr push`` can resume a push that was canceled before it finished.
4241
Also, it can push even if the target directory exists if you supply
4242
the ``--use-existing-dir`` flag.
4243
(John Arbash Meinel, #30576, #45504)
4244
4245
* Fix http proxy authentication when user and an optional
4246
password appears in the ``*_proxy`` vars. (Vincent Ladeuil,
4247
#83954).
4248
4249
* ``bzr log branch/file`` works for local treeless branches
4250
(Aaron Bentley, #84247)
4251
4252
* Fix problem with UNC paths on Windows 98. (Alexander Belchenko, #84728)
4253
4254
* Searching location of CA bundle for PyCurl in env variable
4255
(``CURL_CA_BUNDLE``), and on win32 along the PATH.
4256
(Alexander Belchenko, #82086)
4257
4258
* ``bzr init`` works with unicode argument LOCATION.
4259
(Alexander Belchenko, #85599)
4260
4261
* Raise ``DependencyNotPresent`` if pycurl do not support https.
4262
(Vincent Ladeuil, #85305)
4263
4264
* Invalid proxy env variables should not cause a traceback.
4265
(Vincent Ladeuil, #87765)
4266
4267
* Ignore patterns normalised to use '/' path separator.
4268
(Kent Gibson, #86451)
4269
4270
* bzr rocks. It sure does! Fix case. (Vincent Ladeuil, #78026)
4271
4272
* Fix bzrtools shelve command for removed lines beginning with "--"
4273
(Johan Dahlberg, #75577)
4274
4275
TESTING:
4276
4277
* New ``--first`` option to ``bzr selftest`` to run specified tests

4284
IMPROVEMENTS:
4285
4286
* ``bzr help global-options`` describes the global options. (Aaron Bentley)
4287
4288
BUG FIXES:
4289
4290
* Skip documentation generation tests if the tools to do so are not
4291
available. Fixes running selftest for installled copies of bzr.
4292
(John Arbash Meinel, #80330)
4293
4294
* Fix the code that discovers whether bzr is being run from it's
4295
working tree to handle the case when it isn't but the directory
4296
it is in is below a repository. (James Westby, #77306)

4299
bzr 0.14rc1 2007-01-16
4300
-----------------------
4301
4302
IMPROVEMENTS:
4303
4304
* New connection: ``bzr+http://`` which supports tunnelling the smart
4305
protocol over an HTTP connection. If writing is enabled on the bzr
4306
server, then you can write over the http connection.
4307
(Andrew Bennetts, John Arbash Meinel)
4308
4309
* Aliases now support quotation marks, so they can contain whitespace
4310
(Marius Kruger)
4311
4312
* PyCurlTransport now use a single curl object. By specifying explicitly
4313
the 'Range' header, we avoid the need to use two different curl objects
4314
(and two connections to the same server). (Vincent Ladeuil)
4315
4316
* ``bzr commit`` does not prompt for a message until it is very likely to
4317
succeed. (Aaron Bentley)
4318
4319
* ``bzr conflicts`` now takes --text to list pathnames of text conflicts
4320
(Aaron Bentley)
4321
4322
* Fix ``iter_lines_added_or_present_in_versions`` to use a set instead
4323
of a list while checking if a revision id was requested. Takes 10s
4324
off of the ``fileids_affected_by_revision_ids`` time, which is 10s
4325
of the ``bzr branch`` time. Also improve ``fileids_...`` time by
4326
filtering lines with a regex rather than multiple ``str.find()``
4327
calls. (saves another 300ms) (John Arbash Meinel)
4328
4329
* Policy can be set for each configuration key. This allows keys to be
4330
inherited properly across configuration entries. For example, this
4331
should enable you to do::
4332
4333
[/home/user/project]
4334
push_location = sftp://host/srv/project/
4335
push_location:policy = appendpath
4336
4337
And then a branch like ``/home/user/project/mybranch`` should get an
4338
automatic push location of ``sftp://host/srv/project/mybranch``.
4339
(James Henstridge)
4340
4341
* Added ``bzr status --short`` to make status report svn style flags
4342
for each file. For example::
4343
4344
$ bzr status --short
4345
A foo
4346
A bar
4347
D baz
4348
? wooley
4349
4350
* 'bzr selftest --clean-output' allows easily clean temporary tests
4351
directories without running tests. (Alexander Belchenko)
4352
4353
* ``bzr help hidden-commands`` lists all hidden commands. (Aaron Bentley)
4354
4355
* ``bzr merge`` now has an option ``--pull`` to fall back to pull if
4356
local is fully merged into remote. (Jan Hudec)
4357
4358
* ``bzr help formats`` describes available directory formats. (Aaron Bentley)
4359
4360
INTERNALS:
4361
4362
* A few tweaks directly to ``fileids_affected_by_revision_ids`` to
4363
help speed up processing, as well allowing to extract unannotated
4364
lines. Between the two ``fileids_affected_by_revision_ids`` is
4365
improved by approx 10%. (John Arbash Meinel)
4366
4367
* Change Revision serialization to only write out millisecond
4368
resolution. Rather than expecting floating point serialization to
4369
preserve more resolution than we need. (Henri Weichers, Martin Pool)
4370
4371
* Test suite ends cleanly on Windows. (Vincent Ladeuil)
4372
4373
* When ``encoding_type`` attribute of class Command is equal to 'exact',
4374
force sys.stdout to be a binary stream on Windows, and therefore
4375
keep exact line-endings (without LF -> CRLF conversion).
4376
(Alexander Belchenko)
4377
4378
* Single-letter short options are no longer globally declared. (Martin
4379
Pool)
4380
4381
* Before using detected user/terminal encoding bzr should check
4382
that Python has corresponding codec. (Alexander Belchenko)
4383
4384
* Formats for end-user selection are provided via a FormatRegistry (Aaron Bentley)
4385
4386
BUG FIXES:
4387
4388
* ``bzr missing --verbose`` was showing adds/removals in the wrong
4389
direction. (John Arbash Meinel)
4390
4391
* ``bzr annotate`` now defaults to showing dotted revnos for merged
4392
revisions. It cuts them off at a depth of 12 characters, but you can
4393
supply ``--long`` to see the full number. You can also use
4394
``--show-ids`` to display the original revision ids, rather than
4395
revision numbers and committer names. (John Arbash Meinel, #75637)
4396
4397
* bzr now supports Win32 UNC path (e.g. ``\HOST\path``.
4398
(Alexander Belchenko, #57869)
4399
4400
* Win32-specific: output of cat, bundle and diff commands don't mangle
4401
line-endings (Alexander Belchenko, #55276)
4402
4403
* Replace broken fnmatch based ignore pattern matching with custom pattern
4404
matcher.
4405
(Kent Gibson, Jan Hudec #57637)
4406
4407
* pycurl and urllib can detect short reads at different places. Update
4408
the test suite to test more cases. Also detect http error code 416
4409
which was raised for that specific bug. Also enhance the urllib
4410
robustness by detecting invalid ranges (and pycurl's one by detecting
4411
short reads during the initial GET). (Vincent Ladeuil, #73948)
4412
4413
* The urllib connection sharing interacts badly with urllib2
4414
proxy setting (the connections didn't go thru the proxy
4415
anymore). Defining a proper ProxyHandler solves the
4416
problem. (Vincent Ladeuil, #74759)
4417
4418
* Use urlutils to generate relative URLs, not osutils
4419
(Aaron Bentley, #76229)
4420
4421
* ``bzr status`` in a readonly directory should work without giving
4422
lots of errors. (John Arbash Meinel, #76299)
4423
4424
* Mention the revisionspec topic for the revision option help.
4425
(Wouter van Heyst, #31663)
4426
4427
* Allow plugins import from zip archives.

IMPROVEMENTS:
4440
4441
* New command ``bzr remove-tree`` allows the removal of the working
4442
tree from a branch.
4443
(Daniel Silverstone)
4444
4445
* urllib uses shared keep-alive connections, so http
4446
operations are substantially faster.
4447
(Vincent Ladeuil, #53654)
4448
4449
* ``bzr export`` allows an optional branch parameter, to export a bzr
4450
tree from some other url. For example:
4451
``bzr export bzr.tar.gz http://bazaar-vcs.org/bzr/bzr.dev``
4452
(Daniel Silverstone)
4453
4454
* Added ``bzr help topics`` to the bzr help system. This gives a
4455
location for general information, outside of a specific command.
4456
This includes updates for ``bzr help revisionspec`` the first topic
4457
included. (Goffredo Baroncelli, John Arbash Meinel, #42714)
4458
4459
* WSGI-compatible HTTP smart server. See ``doc/http_smart_server.txt``.
4460
(Andrew Bennetts)
4461
4462
* Knit files will now cache full texts only when the size of the
4463
deltas is as large as the size of the fulltext. (Or after 200
4464
deltas, whichever comes first). This has the most benefit on large
4465
files with small changes, such as the inventory for a large project.
4466
(eg For a project with 2500 files, and 7500 revisions, it changes
4467
the size of inventory.knit from 11MB to 5.4MB) (John Arbash Meinel)
4468
4469
INTERNALS:
4470
4471
* New -D option given before the command line turns on debugging output
4472
for particular areas. -Derror shows tracebacks on all errors.
4473
(Martin Pool)
4474
4475
* Clean up ``bzr selftest --benchmark bundle`` to correct an import,
4476
and remove benchmarks that take longer than 10min to run.
4477
(John Arbash Meinel)
4478
4479
* Use ``time.time()`` instead of ``time.clock()`` to decide on
4480
progress throttling. Because ``time.clock()`` is actually CPU time,
4481
so over a high-latency connection, too many updates get throttled.
4482
(John Arbash Meinel)
4483
4484
* ``MemoryTransport.list_dir()`` would strip the first character for
4485
files or directories in root directory. (John Arbash Meinel)
4486
4487
* New method ``get_branch_reference`` on 'BzrDir' allows the detection of
4488
branch references - which the smart server component needs.
4489
4490
* New ``ChrootTransportDecorator``, accessible via the ``chroot+`` url
4491
prefix. It disallows any access to locations above a set URL. (Andrew
4492
Bennetts)
4493
4494
BUG FIXES:
4495
4496
* Now ``_KnitIndex`` properly decode revision ids when loading index data.
4497
And optimize the knit index parsing code.
4498
(Dmitry Vasiliev, John Arbash Meinel)
4499
4500
* ``bzrlib/bzrdir.py`` was directly referencing ``bzrlib.workingtree``,
4501
without importing it. This prevented ``bzr upgrade`` from working
4502
unless a plugin already imported ``bzrlib.workingtree``
4503
(John Arbash Meinel, #70716)
4504
4505
* Suppress the traceback on invalid URLs (Vincent Ladeuil, #70803).
4506
4507
* Give nicer error message when an http server returns a 403
4508
error code. (Vincent Ladeuil, #57644).
4509
4510
* When a multi-range http GET request fails, try a single
4511
range one. If it fails too, forget about ranges. Remember that until
4512
the death of the transport and propagates that to the clones.
4513
(Vincent Ladeuil, #62276, #62029).
4514
4515
* Handles user/passwords supplied in url from command
4516
line (for the urllib implementation). Don't request already
4517
known passwords (Vincent Ladeuil, #42383, #44647, #48527)
4518
4519
* ``_KnitIndex.add_versions()`` dictionary compresses revision ids as they
4520
are added. This fixes bug where fetching remote revisions records
4521
them as full references rather than integers.
4522
(John Arbash Meinel, #64789)
4523
4524
* ``bzr ignore`` strips trailing slashes in patterns.
4525
Also ``bzr ignore`` rejects absolute paths. (Kent Gibson, #4559)
4526
4527
* ``bzr ignore`` takes multiple arguments. (Cheuksan Edward Wang, #29488)
4528
4529
* mv correctly handles paths that traverse symlinks.
4530
(Aaron Bentley, #66964)
4531
4532
* Give nicer looking error messages when failing to connect over ssh.
4533
(John Arbash Meinel, #49172)
4534
4535
* Pushing to a remote branch does not currently update the remote working
4536
tree. After a remote push, ``bzr status`` and ``bzr diff`` on the remote
4537
machine now show that the working tree is out of date.
4538
(Cheuksan Edward Wang #48136)
4539
4540
* Use patiencediff instead of difflib for determining deltas to insert
4541
into knits. This avoids the O(N^3) behavior of difflib. Patience
4542
diff should be O(N^2). (Cheuksan Edward Wang, #65714)
4543
4544
* Running ``bzr log`` on nonexistent file gives an error instead of the
4545
entire log history. (Cheuksan Edward Wang #50793)
4546
4547
* ``bzr cat`` can look up contents of removed or renamed files. If the
4548
pathname is ambiguous, i.e. the files in the old and new trees have
4549
different id's, the default is the file in the new tree. The user can
4550
use "--name-from-revision" to select the file in the old tree.
4551
(Cheuksan Edward Wang, #30190)
4552
4553
TESTING:
4554
4555
* TestingHTTPRequestHandler really handles the Range header
4556
(previously it was ignoring it and returning the whole file,).

4568
-----------------------
4569
4570
IMPROVEMENTS:
4571
4572
* ``bzr log`` now shows dotted-decimal revision numbers for all revisions,
4573
rather than just showing a decimal revision number for revisions on the
4574
mainline. These revision numbers are not yet accepted as input into bzr
4575
commands such as log, diff etc. (Robert Collins)
4576
4577
* revisions can now be specified using dotted-decimal revision numbers.
4578
For instance, ``bzr diff -r 1.2.1..1.2.3``. (Robert Collins)
4579
4580
* ``bzr help commands`` output is now shorter (Aaron Bentley)
4581
4582
* ``bzr`` now uses lazy importing to reduce the startup time. This has
4583
a moderate effect on lots of actions, especially ones that have
4584
little to do. For example ``bzr rocks`` time is down to 116ms from
4585
283ms. (John Arbash Meinel)
4586
4587
* New Registry class to provide name-to-object registry-like support,
4588
for example for schemes where plugins can register new classes to
4589
do certain tasks (e.g. log formatters). Also provides lazy registration
4590
to allow modules to be loaded on request.
4591
(John Arbash Meinel, Adeodato Simó)
4592
4593
API INCOMPATABILITY:
4594
4595
* LogFormatter subclasses show now expect the 'revno' parameter to
4596
show() to be a string rather than an int. (Robert Collins)
4597
4598
INTERNALS:
4599
4600
* ``TestCase.run_bzr``, ``run_bzr_captured``, and ``run_bzr_subprocess``
4601
can take a ``working_dir='foo'`` parameter, which will change directory
4602
for the command. (John Arbash Meinel)
4603
4604
* ``bzrlib.lazy_regex.lazy_compile`` can be used to create a proxy
4605
around a regex, which defers compilation until first use.
4606
(John Arbash Meinel)
4607
4608
* ``TestCase.run_bzr_subprocess`` defaults to supplying the
4609
``--no-plugins`` parameter to ensure test reproducability, and avoid
4610
problems with system-wide installed plugins. (John Arbash Meinel)
4611
4612
* Unique tree root ids are now supported. Newly created trees still
4613
use the common root id for compatibility with bzr versions before 0.12.
4614
(Aaron Bentley)
4615
4616
* ``WorkingTree.set_root_id(None)`` is now deprecated. Please
4617
pass in ``inventory.ROOT_ID`` if you want the default root id value.
4618
(Robert Collins, John Arbash Meinel)
4619
4620
* New method ``WorkingTree.flush()`` which will write the current memory
4621
inventory out to disk. At the same time, ``read_working_inventory`` will
4622
no longer trash the current tree inventory if it has been modified within
4623
the current lock, and the tree will now ``flush()`` automatically on
4624
``unlock()``. ``WorkingTree.set_root_id()`` has been updated to take
4625
advantage of this functionality. (Robert Collins, John Arbash Meinel)
4626
4627
* ``bzrlib.tsort.merge_sorted`` now accepts ``generate_revnos``. This
4628
parameter will cause it to add another column to its output, which
4629
contains the dotted-decimal revno for each revision, as a tuple.
4630
(Robert Collins)
4631
4632
* ``LogFormatter.show_merge`` is deprecated in favour of
4633
``LogFormatter.show_merge_revno``. (Robert Collins)
4634
4635
BUG FIXES:
4636
4637
* Avoid circular imports by creating a deprecated function for
4638
``bzrlib.tree.RevisionTree``. Callers should have been using
4639
``bzrlib.revisontree.RevisionTree`` anyway. (John Arbash Meinel,
4640
#63360, #66349)
4641
4642
* Don't use ``socket.MSG_WAITALL`` as it doesn't exist on all
4643
platforms. (Martin Pool, #66356)
4644
4645
* Don't require ``Content-Type`` in range responses. Assume they are a
4646
single range if ``Content-Type`` does not exist.
4647
(John Arbash Meinel, #62473)
4648
4649
* bzr branch/pull no longer complain about progress bar cleanup when
4650
interrupted during fetch. (Aaron Bentley, #54000)
4651
4652
* ``WorkingTree.set_parent_trees()`` uses the trees to directly write
4653
the basis inventory, rather than going through the repository. This
4654
allows us to have 1 inventory read, and 2 inventory writes when
4655
committing a new tree. (John Arbash Meinel)
4656
4657
* When reverting, files that are not locally modified that do not exist
4658
in the target are deleted, not just unversioned (Aaron Bentley)
4659
4660
* When trying to acquire a lock, don't fail immediately. Instead, try
4661
a few times (up to 1 hour) before timing out. Also, report why the
4662
lock is unavailable (John Arbash Meinel, #43521, #49556)
4663
4664
* Leave HttpTransportBase daughter classes decides how they
4665
implement cloning. (Vincent Ladeuil, #61606)
4666
4667
* diff3 does not indicate conflicts on clean merge. (Aaron Bentley)
4668
4669
* If a commit fails, the commit message is stored in a file at the root of
4670
the tree for later commit. (Cheuksan Edward Wang, Stefan Metzmacher,
4671
#32054)
4672
4673
TESTING:
4674
4675
* New test base class TestCaseWithMemoryTransport offers memory-only
4676
testing facilities: its not suitable for tests that need to mutate disk
4677
state, but most tests should not need that and should be converted to
4678
TestCaseWithMemoryTransport. (Robert Collins)
4679
4680
* ``TestCase.make_branch_and_memory_tree`` now takes a format
4681
option to set the BzrDir, Repository and Branch formats of the
4682
created objects. (Robert Collins, John Arbash Meinel)
4683
4684
bzr 0.11 2006-10-02
4685
--------------------
4686
4687
* Smart server transport test failures on windows fixed. (Lukáš Lalinský).
4688
4689
bzr 0.11rc2 2006-09-27
4690
-----------------------
4691
4692
BUG FIXES:
4693
4694
* Test suite hangs on windows fixed. (Andrew Bennets, Alexander Belchenko).
4695
4696
* Commit performance regression fixed. (Aaron Bentley, Robert Collins, John
4697
Arbash Meinel).
4698
4699
bzr 0.11rc1 2006-09-25
4700
-----------------------
4701
4702
IMPROVEMENTS:
4703
4704
* Knit files now wait to create their contents until the first data is
4705
added. The old code used to create an empty .knit and a .kndx with just
4706
the header. However, this caused a lot of extra round trips over sftp.
4707
This can change the time for ``bzr push`` to create a new remote branch
4708
from 160s down to 100s. This also affects ``bzr commit`` performance when
4709
adding new files, ``bzr commit`` on a new kernel-like tree drops from 50s
4710
down to 40s (John Arbash Meinel, #44692)
4711
4712
* When an entire subtree has been deleted, commit will now report that
4713
just the top of the subtree has been deleted, rather than reporting
4714
all the individual items. (Robert Collins)
4715
4716
* Commit performs one less XML parse. (Robert Collins)
4717
4718
* ``bzr checkout`` now operates on readonly branches as well
4719
as readwrite branches. This fixes bug #39542. (Robert Collins)
4720
4721
* ``bzr bind`` no longer synchronises history with the master branch.
4722
Binding should be followed by an update or push to synchronise the
4723
two branches. This is closely related to the fix for bug #39542.
4724
(Robert Collins)
4725
4726
* ``bzrlib.lazy_import.lazy_import`` function to create on-demand
4727
objects. This allows all imports to stay at the global scope, but
4728
modules will not actually be imported if they are not used.
4729
(John Arbash Meinel)
4730
4731
* Support ``bzr://`` and ``bzr+ssh://`` urls to work with the new RPC-based
4732
transport which will be used with the upcoming high-performance smart
4733
server. The new command ``bzr serve`` will invoke bzr in server mode,
4734
which processes these requests. (Andrew Bennetts, Robert Collins, Martin
4735
Pool)
4736
4737
* New command ``bzr version-info`` which can be used to get a summary
4738
of the current state of the tree. This is especially useful as part
4739
of a build commands. See ``doc/version_info.txt`` for more information
4740
(John Arbash Meinel)
4741
4742
BUG FIXES:
4743
4744
* ``'bzr inventory [FILE...]'`` allows restricting the file list to a
4745
specific set of files. (John Arbash Meinel, #3631)
4746
4747
* Don't abort when annotating empty files (John Arbash Meinel, #56814)
4748
4749
* Add ``Stanza.to_unicode()`` which can be passed to another Stanza
4750
when nesting stanzas. Also, add ``read_stanza_unicode`` to handle when
4751
reading a nested Stanza. (John Arbash Meinel)
4752
4753
* Transform._set_mode() needs to stat the right file.
4754
(John Arbash Meinel, #56549)
4755
4756
* Raise WeaveFormatError rather than StopIteration when trying to read
4757
an empty Weave file. (John Arbash Meinel, #46871)
4758
4759
* Don't access e.code for generic URLErrors, only HTTPErrors have .code.
4760
(Vincent Ladeuil, #59835)
4761
4762
* Handle boundary="" lines properly to allow access through a Squid proxy.
4763
(John Arbash Meinel, #57723)
4764
4765
* revert now removes newly-added directories (Aaron Bentley, #54172)
4766
4767
* ``bzr upgrade sftp://`` shouldn't fail to upgrade v6 branches if there
4768
isn't a working tree. (David Allouche, #40679)
4769
4770
* Give nicer error messages when a user supplies an invalid --revision
4771
parameter. (John Arbash Meinel, #55420)
4772
4773
* Handle when LANG is not recognized by python. Emit a warning, but
4774
just revert to using 'ascii'. (John Arbash Meinel, #35392)
4775
4776
* Don't use ``preexec_fn`` on win32, as it is not supported by subprocess.
4777
(John Arbash Meinel)
4778
4779
* Skip specific tests when the dependencies aren't met. This includes
4780
some ``setup.py`` tests when ``python-dev`` is not available, and
4781
some tests that depend on paramiko. (John Arbash Meinel, Mattheiu Moy)
4782
4783
* Fallback to Paramiko properly, if no ``ssh`` executable exists on
4784
the system. (Andrew Bennetts, John Arbash Meinel)
4785
4786
* ``Branch.bind(other_branch)`` no longer takes a write lock on the
4787
other branch, and will not push or pull between the two branches.
4788
API users will need to perform a push or pull or update operation if they
4789
require branch synchronisation to take place. (Robert Collins, #47344)
4790
4791
* When creating a tarball or zipfile export, export unicode names as utf-8
4792
paths. This may not work perfectly on all platforms, but has the best
4793
chance of working in the common case. (John Arbash Meinel, #56816)
4794
4795
* When committing, only files that exist in working tree or basis tree
4796
may be specified (Aaron Bentley, #50793)
4797
4798
PORTABILITY:
4799
4800
* Fixes to run on Python 2.5 (Brian M. Carlson, Martin Pool, Marien Zwart)
4801
4802
INTERNALS:
4803
4804
* TestCaseInTempDir now creates a separate directory for HOME, rather
4805
than having HOME set to the same location as the working directory.
4806
(John Arbash Meinel)
4807
4808
* ``run_bzr_subprocess()`` can take an optional ``env_changes={}`` parameter,
4809
which will update os.environ inside the spawned child. It also can
4810
take a ``universal_newlines=True``, which helps when checking the output
4811
of the command. (John Arbash Meinel)
4812
4813
* Refactor SFTP vendors to allow easier re-use when ssh is used.
4814
(Andrew Bennetts)
4815
4816
* ``Transport.list_dir()`` and ``Transport.iter_files_recursive()`` should always
4817
return urlescaped paths. This is now tested (there were bugs in a few
4818
of the transports) (Andrew Bennetts, David Allouche, John Arbash Meinel)
4819
4820
* New utility function ``symbol_versioning.deprecation_string``. Returns the
4821
formatted string for a callable, deprecation format pair. (Robert Collins)
4822
4823
* New TestCase helper applyDeprecated. This allows you to call a callable
4824
which is deprecated without it spewing to the screen, just by supplying
4825
the deprecation format string issued for it. (Robert Collins)
4826
4827
* Transport.append and Transport.put have been deprecated in favor of
4828
``.append_bytes``, ``.append_file``, ``.put_bytes``, and
4829
``.put_file``. This removes the ambiguity in what type of object the
4830
functions take. ``Transport.non_atomic_put_{bytes,file}`` has also
4831
been added. Which works similarly to ``Transport.append()`` except for
4832
SFTP, it doesn't have a round trip when opening the file. Also, it
4833
provides functionality for creating a parent directory when trying
4834
to create a file, rather than raise NoSuchFile and forcing the
4835
caller to repeat their request.
4836
(John Arbash Meinel)
4837
4838
* WorkingTree has a new api ``unversion`` which allow the unversioning of
4839
entries by their file id. (Robert Collins)
4840
4841
* ``WorkingTree.pending_merges`` is deprecated. Please use the
4842
``get_parent_ids`` (introduced in 0.10) method instead. (Robert Collins)
4843
4844
* WorkingTree has a new ``lock_tree_write`` method which locks the branch for
4845
read rather than write. This is appropriate for actions which only need
4846
the branch data for reference rather than mutation. A new decorator
4847
``needs_tree_write_lock`` is provided in the workingtree module. Like the
4848
``needs_read_lock`` and ``needs_write_lock`` decorators this allows static
4849
declaration of the locking requirements of a function to ensure that
4850
a lock is taken out for casual scripts. (Robert Collins, #54107)
4851
4852
* All WorkingTree methods which write to the tree, but not to the branch
4853
have been converted to use ``needs_tree_write_lock`` rather than
4854
``needs_write_lock``. Also converted is the revert, conflicts and tree
4855
transform modules. This provides a modest performance improvement on
4856
metadir style trees, due to the reduce lock-acquisition, and a more
4857
significant performance improvement on lightweight checkouts from
4858
remote branches, where trivial operations used to pay a significant
4859
penalty. It also provides the basis for allowing readonly checkouts.
4860
(Robert Collins)
4861
4862
* Special case importing the standard library 'copy' module. This shaves
4863
off 40ms of startup time, while retaining compatibility. See:
4864
``bzrlib/inspect_for_copy.py`` for more details. (John Arbash Meinel)
4865
4866
* WorkingTree has a new parent class MutableTree which represents the
4867
specialisations of Tree which are able to be altered. (Robert Collins)
4868
4869
* New methods mkdir and ``put_file_bytes_non_atomic`` on MutableTree that
4870
mutate the tree and its contents. (Robert Collins)
4871
4872
* Transport behaviour at the root of the URL is now defined and tested.
4873
(Andrew Bennetts, Robert Collins)
4874
4875
TESTING:
4876
4877
* New test helper classs MemoryTree. This is typically accessed via
4878
``self.make_branch_and_memory_tree()`` in test cases. (Robert Collins)
4879
4880
* Add ``start_bzr_subprocess`` and ``stop_bzr_subprocess`` to allow test
4881
code to continue running concurrently with a subprocess of bzr.
4882
(Andrew Bennetts, Robert Collins)
4883
4884
* Add a new method ``Transport.get_smart_client()``. This is provided to
4885
allow upgrades to a richer interface than the VFS one provided by
4886
Transport. (Andrew Bennetts, Martin Pool)
4887
4888
bzr 0.10 2006-08-29
4889
--------------------
4890
4891
IMPROVEMENTS:
4892
* 'merge' now takes --uncommitted, to apply uncommitted changes from a
4893
tree. (Aaron Bentley)
4894
4895
* 'bzr add --file-ids-from' can be used to specify another path to use
4896
for creating file ids, rather than generating all new ones. Internally,
4897
the 'action' passed to ``smart_add_tree()`` can return ``file_ids`` that
4898
will be used, rather than having bzrlib generate new ones.
4899
(John Arbash Meinel, #55781)
4900
4901
* ``bzr selftest --benchmark`` now allows a ``--cache-dir`` parameter.
4902
This will cache some of the intermediate trees, and decrease the
4903
setup time for benchmark tests. (John Arbash Meinel)
4904
4905
* Inverse forms are provided for all boolean options. For example,
4906
--strict has --no-strict, --no-recurse has --recurse (Aaron Bentley)
4907
4908
* Serialize out Inventories directly, rather than using ElementTree.
4909
Writing out a kernel sized inventory drops from 2s down to ~350ms.
4910
(Robert Collins, John Arbash Meinel)
4911
4912
BUG FIXES:
4913
4914
* Help diffutils 2.8.4 get along with binary tests (Marien Zwart: #57614)
4915
4916
* Change LockDir so that if the lock directory doesn't exist when
4917
``lock_write()`` is called, an attempt will be made to create it.
4918
(John Arbash Meinel, #56974)
4919
4920
* ``bzr uncommit`` preserves pending merges. (John Arbash Meinel, #57660)
4921
4922
* Active FTP transport now works as intended. (ghozzy, #56472)
4923
4924
* Really fix mutter() so that it won't ever raise a UnicodeError.
4925
It means it is possible for ~/.bzr.log to contain non UTF-8 characters.
4926
But it is a debugging log, not a real user file.
4927
(John Arbash Meinel, #56947, #53880)
4928
4929
* Change Command handle to allow Unicode command and options.
4930
At present we cannot register Unicode command names, so we will get
4931
BzrCommandError('unknown command'), or BzrCommandError('unknown option')
4932
But that is better than a UnicodeError + a traceback.
4933
(John Arbash Meinel, #57123)
4934
4935
* Handle TZ=UTC properly when reading/writing revisions.
4936
(John Arbash Meinel, #55783, #56290)
4937
4938
* Use ``GPG_TTY`` to allow gpg --cl to work with gpg-agent in a pipeline,
4939
(passing text to sign in on stdin). (John Arbash Meinel, #54468)
4940
4941
* External diff does the right thing for binaries even in foreign
4942
languages. (John Arbash Meinel, #56307)
4943
4944
* Testament handles more cases when content is unicode. Specific bug was
4945
in handling of revision properties.
4946
(John Arbash Meinel, Holger Krekel, #54723)
4947
4948
* The bzr selftest was failing on installed versions due to a bug in a new
4949
test helper. (John Arbash Meinel, Robert Collins, #58057)
4950
4951
INTERNALS:
4952
4953
* ``bzrlib.cache_utf8`` contains ``encode()`` and ``decode()`` functions
4954
which can be used to cache the conversion between utf8 and Unicode.
4955
Especially helpful for some of the knit annotation code, which has to
4956
convert revision ids to utf8 to annotate lines in storage.
4957
(John Arbash Meinel)
4958
4959
* ``setup.py`` now searches the filesystem to find all packages which
4960
need to be installed. This should help make the life of packagers
4961
easier. (John Arbash Meinel)
4962
4963
bzr 0.9.0 2006-08-11
4964
---------------------
4965
4966
SURPRISES:
4967
4968
* The hard-coded built-in ignore rules have been removed. There are
4969
now two rulesets which are enforced. A user global one in
4970
``~/.bazaar/ignore`` which will apply to every tree, and the tree
4971
specific one '.bzrignore'.
4972
``~/.bazaar/ignore`` will be created if it does not exist, but with
4973
a more conservative list than the old default.
4974
This fixes bugs with default rules being enforced no matter what.
4975
The old list of ignore rules from bzr is available by
4976
running 'bzr ignore --old-default-rules'.
4977
(Robert Collins, Martin Pool, John Arbash Meinel)
4978
4979
* 'branches.conf' has been changed to 'locations.conf', since it can apply
4980
to more locations than just branch locations.
4981
(Aaron Bentley)
4982
4983
IMPROVEMENTS:
4984
4985
* The revision specifier "revno:" is extended to accept the syntax
4986
revno:N:branch. For example,
4987
revno:42:http://bazaar-vcs.org/bzr/bzr.dev/ means revision 42 in
4988
bzr.dev. (Matthieu Moy)
4989
4990
* Tests updates to ensure proper URL handling, UNICODE support, and
4991
proper printing when the user's terminal encoding cannot display
4992
the path of a file that has been versioned.
4993
``bzr branch`` can take a target URL rather than only a local directory.
4994
``Branch.get_parent()/set_parent()`` now save a relative path if possible,
4995
and normalize the parent based on root, allowing access across
4996
different transports. (John Arbash Meinel, Wouter van Heyst, Martin Pool)
4997
(Malone #48906, #42699, #40675, #5281, #3980, #36363, #43689,
4998
#42517, #42514)
4999
5000
* On Unix, detect terminal width using an ioctl not just $COLUMNS.
5001
Use terminal width for single-line logs from ``bzr log --line`` and
5002
pending-merge display. (Robert Widhopf-Fenk, Gustavo Niemeyer)
5003
(Malone #3507)
5004
5005
* On Windows, detect terminal width using GetConsoleScreenBufferInfo.
5006
(Alexander Belchenko)
5007
5008
* Speedup improvement for 'date:'-revision search. (Guillaume Pinot).
5009
5010
* Show the correct number of revisions pushed when pushing a new branch.
5011
(Robert Collins).
5012
5013
* 'bzr selftest' now shows a progress bar with the number of tests, and
5014
progress made. 'make check' shows tests in -v mode, to be more useful
5015
for the PQM status window. (Robert Collins).
5016
When using a progress bar, failed tests are printed out, rather than
5017
being overwritten by the progress bar until the suite finishes.
5018
(John Arbash Meinel)
5019
5020
* 'bzr selftest --benchmark' will run a new benchmarking selftest.
5021
'bzr selftest --benchmark --lsprof-timed' will use lsprofile to generate
5022
profile data for the individual profiled calls, allowing for fine
5023
grained analysis of performance.
5024
(Robert Collins, Martin Pool).
5025
5026
* 'bzr commit' shows a progress bar. This is useful for commits over sftp
5027
where commit can take an appreciable time. (Robert Collins)
5028
5029
* 'bzr add' is now less verbose in telling you what ignore globs were
5030
matched by files being ignored. Instead it just tells you how many
5031
were ignored (because you might reasonably be expecting none to be
5032
ignored). 'bzr add -v' is unchanged and will report every ignored
5033
file. (Robert Collins).
5034
5035
* ftp now has a test server if medusa is installed. As part of testing,
5036
ftp support has been improved, including support for supplying a
5037
non-standard port. (John Arbash Meinel).
5038
5039
* 'bzr log --line' shows the revision number, and uses only the
5040
first line of the log message (#5162, Alexander Belchenko;
5041
Matthieu Moy)
5042
5043
* 'bzr status' has had the --all option removed. The 'bzr ls' command
5044
should be used to retrieve all versioned files. (Robert Collins)
5045
5046
* 'bzr bundle OTHER/BRANCH' will create a bundle which can be sent
5047
over email, and applied on the other end, while maintaining ancestry.
5048
This bundle can be applied with either 'bzr merge' or 'bzr pull',
5049
the same way you would apply another branch.
5050
(John Arbash Meinel, Aaron Bentley)
5051
5052
* 'bzr whoami' can now be used to set your identity from the command line,
5053
for a branch or globally. (Robey Pointer)
5054
5055
* 'bzr checkout' now aliased to 'bzr co', and 'bzr annotate' to 'bzr ann'.
5056
(Michael Ellerman)
5057
5058
* 'bzr revert DIRECTORY' now reverts the contents of the directory as well.
5059
(Aaron Bentley)
5060
5061
* 'bzr get sftp://foo' gives a better error when paramiko is not present.
5062
Also updates things like 'http+pycurl://' if pycurl is not present.
5063
(John Arbash Meinel) (Malone #47821, #52204)
5064
5065
* New env variable ``BZR_PROGRESS_BAR``, sets the default progress bar type.
5066
Can be set to 'none' or 'dummy' to disable the progress bar, 'dots' or
5067
'tty' to create the respective type. (John Arbash Meinel, #42197, #51107)
5068
5069
* Improve the help text for 'bzr diff' to explain what various options do.
5070
(John Arbash Meinel, #6391)
5071
5072
* 'bzr uncommit -r 10' now uncommits revisions 11.. rather than uncommitting
5073
revision 10. This makes -r10 more in line with what other commands do.
5074
'bzr uncommit' also now saves the pending merges of the revisions that
5075
were removed. So it is safe to uncommit after a merge, fix something,
5076
and commit again. (John Arbash Meinel, #32526, #31426)
5077
5078
* 'bzr init' now also works on remote locations.
5079
(Wouter van Heyst, #48904)
5080
5081
* HTTP support has been updated. When using pycurl we now support
5082
connection keep-alive, which reduces dns requests and round trips.
5083
And for both urllib and pycurl we support multi-range requests,
5084
which decreases the number of round-trips. Performance results for
5085
``bzr branch http://bazaar-vcs.org/bzr/bzr.dev/`` indicate
5086
http branching is now 2-3x faster, and ``bzr pull`` in an existing
5087
branch is as much as 4x faster.
5088
(Michael Ellerman, Johan Rydberg, John Arbash Meinel, #46768)
5089
5090
* Performance improvements for sftp. Branching and pulling are now up to
5091
2x faster. Utilize paramiko.readv() support for async requests if it
5092
is available (paramiko > 1.6) (John Arbash Meinel)
5093
5094
BUG FIXES:
5095
5096
* Fix shadowed definition of TestLocationConfig that caused some
5097
tests not to run.
5098
(Erik Bågfors, Michael Ellerman, Martin Pool, #32587)
5099
5100
* Fix unnecessary requirement of sign-my-commits that it be run from
5101
a working directory. (Martin Pool, Robert Collins)
5102
5103
* 'bzr push location' will only remember the push location if it succeeds
5104
in connecting to the remote location. (John Arbash Meinel, #49742)
5105
5106
* 'bzr revert' no longer toggles the executable bit on win32
5107
(John Arbash Meinel, #45010)
5108
5109
* Handle broken pipe under win32 correctly. (John Arbash Meinel)
5110
5111
* sftp tests now work correctly on win32 if you have a newer paramiko
5112
(John Arbash Meinel)
5113
5114
* Cleanup win32 test suite, and general cleanup of places where
5115
file handles were being held open. (John Arbash Meinel)
5116
5117
* When specifying filenames for 'diff -r x..y', the name of the file in the
5118
working directory can be used, even if its name is different in both x
5119
and y.
5120
5121
* File-ids containing single- or double-quotes are handled correctly by
5122
push. (Aaron Bentley, #52227)
5123
5124
* Normalize unicode filenames to ensure cross-platform consistency.
5125
(John Arbash Meinel, #43689)
5126
5127
* The argument parser can now handle '-' as an argument. Currently
5128
no code interprets it specially (it is mostly handled as a file named
5129
'-'). But plugins, and future operations can use it.
5130
(John Arbash meinel, #50984)
5131
5132
* Bundles can properly read binary files with a plain '\r' in them.
5133
(John Arbash Meinel, #51927)
5134
5135
* Tuning ``iter_entries()`` to be more efficient (John Arbash Meinel, #5444)
5136
5137
* Lots of win32 fixes (the test suite passes again).
5138
(John Arbash Meinel, #50155)
5139
5140
* Handle openbsd returning None for sys.getfilesystemencoding() (#41183)
5141
5142
* Support ftp APPE (append) to allow Knits to be used over ftp (#42592)
5143
5144
* Removals are only committed if they match the filespec (or if there is
5145
no filespec). (#46635, Aaron Bentley)
5146
5147
* smart-add recurses through all supplied directories
5148
(John Arbash Meinel, #52578)
5149
5150
* Make the bundle reader extra lines before and after the bundle text.
5151
This allows you to parse an email with the bundle inline.
5152
(John Arbash Meinel, #49182)
5153
5154
* Change the file id generator to squash a little bit more. Helps when
5155
working with long filenames on windows. (Also helps for unicode filenames
5156
not generating hidden files). (John Arbash Meinel, #43801)
5157
5158
* Restore terminal mode on C-c while reading sftp password. (#48923,
5159
Nicholas Allen, Martin Pool)
5160
5161
* Timestamps are rounded to 1ms, and revision entries can be recreated
5162
exactly. (John Arbash Meinel, Jamie Wilkinson, #40693)
5163
5164
* Branch.base has changed to a URL, but ~/.bazaar/locations.conf should
5165
use local paths, since it is user visible (John Arbash Meinel, #53653)
5166
5167
* ``bzr status foo`` when foo was unversioned used to cause a full delta
5168
to be generated (John Arbash Meinel, #53638)
5169
5170
* When reading revision properties, an empty value should be considered
5171
the empty string, not None (John Arbash Meinel, #47782)
5172
5173
* ``bzr diff --diff-options`` can now handle binary files being changed.
5174
Also, the output is consistent when --diff-options is not supplied.
5175
(John Arbash Meinel, #54651, #52930)
5176
5177
* Use the right suffixes for loading plugins (John Arbash Meinel, #51810)
5178
5179
* Fix ``Branch.get_parent()`` to handle the case when the parent is not
5180
accessible (John Arbash Meinel, #52976)
5181
5182
INTERNALS:
5183
5184
* Combine the ignore rules into a single regex rather than looping over
5185
them to reduce the threshold where N^2 behaviour occurs in operations
5186
like status. (Jan Hudec, Robert Collins).
5187
5188
* Appending to ``bzrlib.DEFAULT_IGNORE`` is now deprecated. Instead, use
5189
one of the add functions in bzrlib.ignores. (John Arbash Meinel)
5190
5191
* 'bzr push' should only push the ancestry of the current revision, not
5192
all of the history in the repository. This is especially important for
5193
shared repositories. (John Arbash Meinel)
5194
5195
* ``bzrlib.delta.compare_trees`` now iterates in alphabetically sorted order,
5196
rather than randomly walking the inventories. (John Arbash Meinel)
5197
5198
* Doctests are now run in temporary directories which are cleaned up when
5199
they finish, rather than using special ScratchDir/ScratchBranch objects.
5200
(Martin Pool)
5201
5202
* Split ``check`` into separate methods on the branch and on the repository,
5203
so that it can be specialized in ways that are useful or efficient for
5204
different formats. (Martin Pool, Robert Collins)
5205
5206
* Deprecate ``Repository.all_revision_ids``; most methods don't really need
5207
the global revision graph but only that part leading up to a particular
5208
revision. (Martin Pool, Robert Collins)
5209
5210
* Add a BzrDirFormat ``control_formats`` list which allows for control formats
5211
that do not use '.bzr' to store their data - i.e. '.svn', '.hg' etc.
5212
(Robert Collins, Jelmer Vernooij).
5213
5214
* ``bzrlib.diff.external_diff`` can be redirected to any file-like object.
5215
Uses subprocess instead of spawnvp.
5216
(James Henstridge, John Arbash Meinel, #4047, #48914)
5217
5218
* New command line option '--profile-imports', which will install a custom
5219
importer to log time to import modules and regex compilation time to
5220
sys.stderr (John Arbash Meinel)
5221
5222
* 'EmptyTree' is now deprecated, please use ``repository.revision_tree(None)``
5223
instead. (Robert Collins)
5224
5225
* "RevisionTree" is now in bzrlib/revisiontree.py. (Robert Collins)

5240
Robert Collins, Erik Bågfors, #43959)
5241
5242
* Nicer messages from 'commit' in the case of renames, and correct
5243
messages when a merge has occured. (Robert Collins, Martin Pool)
5244
5245
* Separate functionality from assert statements as they are skipped in
5246
optimized mode of python. Add the same check to pending merges.

CHANGES:
5259
5260
* Make editor invocation comply with Debian Policy. First check
5261

5263
list of editors. (Olaf Conradi, #42904)
5264
5265
NEW FEATURES:
5266
5267
* New 'register-branch' command registers a public branch into

5282
bzr 0.8 2006-05-08
5283
-------------------
5284
5285
NOTES WHEN UPGRADING:
5286
5287
Release 0.8 of bzr introduces a new format for history storage, called
5288
'knit', as an evolution of to the 'weave' format used in 0.7. Local
5289
and remote operations are faster using knits than weaves. Several
5290
operations including 'init', 'init-repo', and 'upgrade' take a
5291
--format option that controls this. Branching from an existing branch
5292
will keep the same format.
5293
5294
It is possible to merge, pull and push between branches of different
5295
formats but this is slower than moving data between homogenous
5296
branches. It is therefore recommended (but not required) that you
5297
upgrade all branches for a project at the same time. Information on
5298
formats is shown by 'bzr info'.
5299
5300
bzr 0.8 now allows creation of 'repositories', which hold the history
5301
of files and revisions for several branches. Previously bzr kept all
5302
the history for a branch within the .bzr directory at the root of the
5303
branch, and this is still the default. To create a repository, use
5304
the new 'bzr init-repo' command. Branches exist as directories under
5305
the repository and contain just a small amount of information
5306
indicating the current revision of the branch.
5307
5308
bzr 0.8 also supports 'checkouts', which are similar to in cvs and
5309
subversion. Checkouts are associated with a branch (optionally in a
5310
repository), which contains all the historical information. The
5311
result is that a checkout can be deleted without losing any
5312
already-committed revisions. A new 'update' command is also available.
5313
5314
Repositories and checkouts are not supported with the 0.7 storage
5315
format. To use them you must upgrad to either knits, or to the
5316
'metaweave' format, which uses weaves but changes the .bzr directory
5317
arrangement.
5318
5319
5320
IMPROVEMENTS:
5321
5322
* Sftp paths can now be relative, or local, according to the lftp
5323
convention. Paths now take the form::
5324
5325
sftp://user:pass@host:port/~/relative/path
5326
or
5327
sftp://user:pass@host:port/absolute/path
5328
5329
* The FTP transport now tries to reconnect after a temporary
5330
failure. ftp put is made atomic. (Matthieu Moy)
5331
5332
* The FTP transport now maintains a pool of connections, and
5333
reuses them to avoid multiple connections to the same host (like
5334
sftp did). (Daniel Silverstone)
5335
5336
* The ``bzr_man.py`` file has been removed. To create the man page now,
5337
use ``./generate_docs.py man``. The new program can also create other files.
5338
Run ``python generate_docs.py --help`` for usage information.
5339
(Hans Ulrich Niedermann & James Blackwell).
5340
5341
* Man Page now gives full help (James Blackwell).
5342
Help also updated to reflect user config now being stored in .bazaar
5343
(Hans Ulrich Niedermann)
5344
5345
* It's now possible to set aliases in bazaar.conf (Erik Bågfors)
5346
5347
* Pull now accepts a --revision argument (Erik Bågfors)
5348
5349
* ``bzr re-sign`` now allows multiple revisions to be supplied on the command
5350
line. You can now use the following command to sign all of your old
5351
commits::
5352
5353
find .bzr/revision-store// -name my@email-* \
5354
| sed 's/.*\/\/..\///' \
5355
| xargs bzr re-sign
5356
5357
* Upgrade can now upgrade over the network. (Robert Collins)
5358
5359
* Two new commands 'bzr checkout' and 'bzr update' allow for CVS/SVN-alike
5360
behaviour. By default they will cache history in the checkout, but
5361
with --lightweight almost all data is kept in the master branch.
5362
(Robert Collins)
5363
5364
* 'revert' unversions newly-versioned files, instead of deleting them.
5365
5366
* 'merge' is more robust. Conflict messages have changed.
5367
5368
* 'merge' and 'revert' no longer clobber existing files that end in '~' or
5369
'.moved'.
5370
5371
* Default log format can be set in configuration and plugins can register
5372
their own formatters. (Erik Bågfors)
5373
5374
* New 'reconcile' command will check branch consistency and repair indexes
5375
that can become out of sync in pre 0.8 formats. (Robert Collins,
5376
Daniel Silverstone)
5377
5378
* New 'bzr init --format' and 'bzr upgrade --format' option to control
5379
what storage format is created or produced. (Robert Collins,
5380
Martin Pool)
5381
5382
* Add parent location to 'bzr info', if there is one. (Olaf Conradi)
5383
5384
* New developer commands 'weave-list' and 'weave-join'. (Martin Pool)
5385
5386
* New 'init-repository' command, plus support for repositories in 'init'
5387
and 'branch' (Aaron Bentley, Erik Bågfors, Robert Collins)
5388
5389
* Improve output of 'info' command. Show all relevant locations related to
5390
working tree, branch and repository. Use kibibytes for binary quantities.
5391
Fix off-by-one error in missing revisions of working tree. Make 'info'
5392
work on branches, repositories and remote locations. Show locations
5393
relative to the shared repository, if applicable. Show locking status
5394
of locations. (Olaf Conradi)
5395
5396
* Diff and merge now safely handle binary files. (Aaron Bentley)
5397
5398
* 'pull' and 'push' now normalise the revision history, so that any two
5399
branches with the same tip revision will have the same output from 'log'.
5400
(Robert Collins)
5401
5402
* 'merge' accepts --remember option to store parent location, like 'push'
5403
and 'pull'. (Olaf Conradi)
5404
5405
* bzr status and diff when files given as arguments do not exist
5406
in the relevant trees. (Martin Pool, #3619)
5407
5408
* Add '.hg' to the default ignore list. (Martin Pool)
5409
5410
* 'knit' is now the default disk format. This improves disk performance and
5411
utilization, increases incremental pull performance, robustness with SFTP
5412
and allows checkouts over SFTP to perform acceptably.
5413
The initial Knit code was contributed by Johan Rydberg based on a
5414
specification by Martin Pool.
5415
(Robert Collins, Aaron Bentley, Johan Rydberg, Martin Pool).
5416
5417
* New tool to generate all-in-one html version of the manual. (Alexander
5418
Belchenko)
5419
5420
* Hitting CTRL-C while doing an SFTP push will no longer cause stale locks
5421
to be left in the SFTP repository. (Robert Collins, Martin Pool).
5422
5423
* New option 'diff --prefix' to control how files are named in diff
5424
output, with shortcuts '-p0' and '-p1' corresponding to the options for
5425
GNU patch. (Alexander Belchenko, Goffredo Baroncelli, Martin Pool)
5426
5427
* Add --revision option to 'annotate' command. (Olaf Conradi)
5428
5429
* If bzr shows an unexpected revision-history after pulling (perhaps due
5430
to a reweave) it can now be corrected by 'bzr reconcile'.
5431
(Robert Collins)
5432
5433
CHANGES:
5434
5435
* Commit is now verbose by default, and shows changed filenames and the
5436
new revision number. (Robert Collins, Martin Pool)
5437
5438
* Unify 'mv', 'move', 'rename'. (Matthew Fuller, #5379)
5439
5440
* 'bzr -h' shows help. (Martin Pool, Ian Bicking, #35940)
5441
5442
* Make 'pull' and 'push' remember location on failure using --remember.
5443
(Olaf Conradi)
5444
5445
* For compatibility, make old format for using weaves inside metadir
5446
available as 'metaweave' format. Rename format 'metadir' to 'default'.
5447
Clean up help for option --format in commands 'init', 'init-repo' and
5448
'upgrade'. (Olaf Conradi)
5449
5450
INTERNALS:
5451
5452
* The internal storage of history, and logical branch identity have now
5453
been split into Branch, and Repository. The common locking and file
5454
management routines are now in bzrlib.lockablefiles.
5455
(Aaron Bentley, Robert Collins, Martin Pool)
5456
5457
* Transports can now raise DependencyNotPresent if they need a library
5458
which is not installed, and then another implementation will be
5459
tried. (Martin Pool)
5460
5461
* Remove obsolete (and no-op) `decode` parameter to `Transport.get`.
5462
(Martin Pool)
5463
5464
* Using Tree Transform for merge, revert, tree-building
5465
5466
* WorkingTree.create, Branch.create, ``WorkingTree.create_standalone``,
5467
Branch.initialize are now deprecated. Please see ``BzrDir.create_*`` for
5468
replacement API's. (Robert Collins)
5469
5470
* New BzrDir class represents the .bzr control directory and manages
5471
formatting issues. (Robert Collins)
5472
5473
* New repository.InterRepository class encapsulates Repository to
5474
Repository actions and allows for clean selection of optimised code
5475
paths. (Robert Collins)
5476
5477
* ``bzrlib.fetch.fetch`` and ``bzrlib.fetch.greedy_fetch`` are now
5478
deprecated, please use ``branch.fetch`` or ``repository.fetch``
5479
depending on your needs. (Robert Collins)
5480
5481
* deprecated methods now have a ``is_deprecated`` flag on them that can
5482
be checked, if you need to determine whether a given callable is
5483
deprecated at runtime. (Robert Collins)
5484
5485
* Progress bars are now nested - see
5486
``bzrlib.ui.ui_factory.nested_progress_bar``.
5487
(Robert Collins, Robey Pointer)
5488
5489
* New API call ``get_format_description()`` for each type of format.
5490
(Olaf Conradi)
5491
5492
* Changed ``branch.set_parent()`` to accept None to remove parent.
5493
(Olaf Conradi)
5494
5495
* Deprecated BzrError AmbiguousBase. (Olaf Conradi)
5496
5497
* WorkingTree.branch is now a read only property. (Robert Collins)
5498
5499
* bzrlib.ui.text.TextUIFactory now accepts a ``bar_type`` parameter which
5500
can be None or a factory that will create a progress bar. This is
5501
useful for testing or for overriding the bzrlib.progress heuristic.
5502
(Robert Collins)
5503
5504
* New API method ``get_physical_lock_status()`` to query locks present on a
5505
transport. (Olaf Conradi)
5506
5507
* Repository.reconcile now takes a thorough keyword parameter to allow
5508
requesting an indepth reconciliation, rather than just a data-loss
5509
check. (Robert Collins)
5510
5511
* ``bzrlib.ui.ui_factory protocol`` now supports ``get_boolean`` to prompt
5512
the user for yes/no style input. (Robert Collins)
5513
5514
TESTING:
5515
5516
* SFTP tests now shortcut the SSH negotiation, reducing test overhead
5517
for testing SFTP protocol support. (Robey Pointer)
5518
5519
* Branch formats are now tested once per implementation (see ``bzrlib.
5520
tests.branch_implementations``. This is analagous to the transport
5521
interface tests, and has been followed up with working tree,
5522
repository and BzrDir tests. (Robert Collins)
5523
5524
* New test base class TestCaseWithTransport provides a transport aware
5525
test environment, useful for testing any transport-interface using
5526
code. The test suite option --transport controls the transport used
5527
by this class (when its not being used as part of implementation
5528
contract testing). (Robert Collins)
5529
5530
* Close logging handler on disabling the test log. This will remove the
5531
handler from the internal list inside python's logging module,
5532
preventing shutdown from closing it twice. (Olaf Conradi)
5533
5534
* Move test case for uncommit to blackbox tests. (Olaf Conradi)
5535
5536
* ``run_bzr`` and ``run_bzr_captured`` now accept a 'stdin="foo"'
5537
parameter which will provide String("foo") to the command as its stdin.
5538

bzr 0.7 2006-01-09
5540
------------------
5541
5542
CHANGES:
5543
5544
* .bzrignore is excluded from exports, on the grounds that it's a bzr
5545
internal-use file and may not be wanted. (Jamie Wilkinson)
5546
5547
* The "bzr directories" command were removed in favor of the new
5548
--kind option to the "bzr inventory" command. To list all
5549
versioned directories, now use "bzr inventory --kind directory".
5550
(Johan Rydberg)
5551
5552
* Under Windows configuration directory is now ``%APPDATA%\bazaar\2.0``
5553
by default. (John Arbash Meinel)
5554
5555
* The parent of Bzr configuration directory can be set by ``BZR_HOME``
5556
environment variable. Now the path for it is searched in ``BZR_HOME``,
5557
then in HOME. Under Windows the order is: ``BZR_HOME``, ``APPDATA``
5558
(usually points to ``C:\Documents and Settings\User Name\Application Data``),
5559
``HOME``. (John Arbash Meinel)
5560
5561
* Plugins with the same name in different directories in the bzr plugin
5562
path are no longer loaded: only the first successfully loaded one is
5563
used. (Robert Collins)
5564
5565
* Use systems' external ssh command to open connections if possible.
5566
This gives better integration with user settings such as ProxyCommand.
5567
(James Henstridge)
5568
5569
* Permissions on files underneath .bzr/ are inherited from the .bzr
5570
directory. So for a shared repository, simply doing 'chmod -R g+w .bzr/'
5571
will mean that future file will be created with group write permissions.
5572
5573
* configure.in and config.guess are no longer in the builtin default
5574
ignore list.
5575
5576
* '.sw[nop]' pattern ignored, to ignore vim swap files for nameless
5577
files. (John Arbash Meinel, Martin Pool)
5578
5579
IMPROVEMENTS:
5580
5581
* "bzr INIT dir" now initializes the specified directory, and creates
5582
it if it does not exist. (John Arbash Meinel)
5583
5584
* New remerge command (Aaron Bentley)
5585
5586
* Better zsh completion script. (Steve Borho)
5587
5588
* 'bzr diff' now returns 1 when there are changes in the working
5589
tree. (Robert Collins)
5590
5591
* 'bzr push' now exists and can push changes to a remote location.
5592
This uses the transport infrastructure, and can store the remote
5593
location in the ~/.bazaar/branches.conf configuration file.
5594
(Robert Collins)
5595
5596
* Test directories are only kept if the test fails and the user requests
5597
that they be kept.
5598
5599
* Tweaks to short log printing
5600
5601
* Added branch nicks, new nick command, printing them in log output.
5602
(Aaron Bentley)
5603
5604
* If ``$BZR_PDB`` is set, pop into the debugger when an uncaught exception
5605
occurs. (Martin Pool)
5606
5607
* Accept 'bzr resolved' (an alias for 'bzr resolve'), as this is
5608
the same as Subversion. (Martin Pool)
5609
5610
* New ftp transport support (on ftplib), for ftp:// and aftp://
5611
URLs. (Daniel Silverstone)
5612
5613
* Commit editor temporary files now start with ``bzr_log.``, to allow
5614
text editors to match the file name and set up appropriate modes or
5615
settings. (Magnus Therning)
5616
5617
* Improved performance when integrating changes from a remote weave.
5618
(Goffredo Baroncelli)
5619
5620
* Sftp will attempt to cache the connection, so it is more likely that
5621
a connection will be reused, rather than requiring multiple password
5622
requests.
5623
5624
* bzr revno now takes an optional argument indicating the branch whose
5625
revno should be printed. (Michael Ellerman)
5626
5627
* bzr cat defaults to printing the last version of the file.
5628
(Matthieu Moy, #3632)
5629
5630
* New global option 'bzr --lsprof COMMAND' runs bzr under the lsprof
5631
profiler. (Denys Duchier)
5632
5633
* Faster commits by reading only the headers of affected weave files.
5634
(Denys Duchier)
5635
5636
* 'bzr add' now takes a --dry-run parameter which shows you what would be
5637
added, but doesn't actually add anything. (Michael Ellerman)
5638
5639
* 'bzr add' now lists how many files were ignored per glob. add --verbose
5640
lists the specific files. (Aaron Bentley)
5641
5642
* 'bzr missing' now supports displaying changes in diverged trees and can
5643
be limited to show what either end of the comparison is missing.
5644
(Aaron Bently, with a little prompting from Daniel Silverstone)
5645
5646
BUG FIXES:
5647
5648
* SFTP can walk up to the root path without index errors. (Robert Collins)
5649
5650
* Fix bugs in running bzr with 'python -O'. (Martin Pool)
5651
5652
* Error when run with -OO
5653
5654
* Fix bug in reporting http errors that don't have an http error code.
5655
(Martin Pool)
5656
5657
* Handle more cases of pipe errors in display commands
5658
5659
* Change status to 3 for all errors
5660
5661
* Files that are added and unlinked before committing are completely
5662
ignored by diff and status
5663
5664
* Stores with some compressed texts and some uncompressed texts are now
5665
able to be used. (John A Meinel)
5666
5667
* Fix for bzr pull failing sometimes under windows
5668
5669
* Fix for sftp transport under windows when using interactive auth
5670
5671
* Show files which are both renamed and modified as such in 'bzr
5672
status' output. (Daniel Silverstone, #4503)
5673
5674
* Make annotate cope better with revisions committed without a valid
5675
email address. (Marien Zwart)
5676
5677
* Fix representation of tab characters in commit messages.
5678
(Harald Meland)
5679
5680
* List of plugin directories in ``BZR_PLUGIN_PATH`` environment variable is
5681
now parsed properly under Windows. (Alexander Belchenko)
5682
5683
* Show number of revisions pushed/pulled/merged. (Robey Pointer)
5684
5685
* Keep a cached copy of the basis inventory to speed up operations
5686
that need to refer to it. (Johan Rydberg, Martin Pool)
5687
5688
* Fix bugs in bzr status display of non-ascii characters.
5689
(Martin Pool)
5690
5691
* Remove Makefile.in from default ignore list.
5692
(Tollef Fog Heen, Martin Pool, #6413)
5693
5694
* Fix failure in 'bzr added'. (Nathan McCallum, Martin Pool)
5695
5696
TESTING:
5697
5698
* Fix selftest asking for passwords when there are no SFTP keys.
5699
(Robey Pointer, Jelmer Vernooij)
5700
5701
* Fix selftest run with 'python -O'. (Martin Pool)
5702
5703
* Fix HTTP tests under Windows. (John Arbash Meinel)
5704
5705
* Make tests work even if HOME is not set (Aaron Bentley)
5706
5707
* Updated ``build_tree`` to use fixed line-endings for tests which read
5708
the file cotents and compare. Make some tests use this to pass under
5709
Windows. (John Arbash Meinel)
5710
5711
* Skip stat and symlink tests under Windows. (Alexander Belchenko)
5712
5713
* Delay in selftest/testhashcash is now issued under win32 and Cygwin.
5714
(John Arbash Meinel)
5715
5716
* Use terminal width to align verbose test output. (Martin Pool)
5717
5718
* Blackbox tests are maintained within the bzrlib.tests.blackbox directory.
5719
If adding a new test script please add that to
5720
``bzrlib.tests.blackbox.__init__``. (Robert Collins)
5721
5722
* Much better error message if one of the test suites can't be
5723
imported. (Martin Pool)
5724
5725
* Make check now runs the test suite twice - once with the default locale,
5726
and once with all locales forced to C, to expose bugs. This is not
5727
trivially done within python, so for now its only triggered by running
5728
Make check. Integrators and packagers who wish to check for full
5729
platform support should run 'make check' to test the source.
5730
(Robert Collins)
5731
5732
* Tests can now run TestSkipped if they can't execute for any reason.
5733
(Martin Pool) (NB: TestSkipped should only be raised for correctable
5734
reasons - see the wiki spec ImprovingBzrTestSuite).
5735
5736
* Test sftp with relative, absolute-in-homedir and absolute-not-in-homedir
5737
paths for the transport tests. Introduce blackbox remote sftp tests that
5738
test the same permutations. (Robert Collins, Robey Pointer)
5739
5740
* Transport implementation tests are now independent of the local file
5741
system, which allows tests for esoteric transports, and for features
5742
not available in the local file system. They also repeat for variations
5743
on the URL scheme that can introduce issues in the transport code,
5744
see bzrlib.transport.TransportTestProviderAdapter() for this.
5745
(Robert Collins).
5746
5747
* ``TestCase.build_tree`` uses the transport interface to build trees,
5748
pass in a transport parameter to give it an existing connection.
5749
(Robert Collins).
5750
5751
INTERNALS:
5752
5753
* WorkingTree.pull has been split across Branch and WorkingTree,
5754
to allow Branch only pulls. (Robert Collins)
5755
5756
* ``commands.display_command`` now returns the result of the decorated
5757
function. (Robert Collins)
5758
5759
* LocationConfig now has a ``set_user_option(key, value)`` call to save
5760
a setting in its matching location section (a new one is created
5761
if needed). (Robert Collins)
5762
5763
* Branch has two new methods, ``get_push_location`` and
5764
``set_push_location`` to respectively, get and set the push location.
5765
(Robert Collins)
5766
5767
* ``commands.register_command`` now takes an optional flag to signal that
5768
the registrant is planning to decorate an existing command. When
5769
given multiple plugins registering a command is not an error, and
5770
the original command class (whether built in or a plugin based one) is
5771
returned to the caller. There is a new error 'MustUseDecorated' for
5772
signalling when a wrapping command should switch to the original
5773
version. (Robert Collins)
5774
5775
* Some option parsing errors will raise 'BzrOptionError', allowing
5776
granular detection for decorating commands. (Robert Collins).
5777
5778
* ``Branch.read_working_inventory`` has moved to
5779
``WorkingTree.read_working_inventory``. This necessitated changes to
5780
``Branch.get_root_id``, and a move of ``Branch.set_inventory`` to
5781
WorkingTree as well. To make it clear that a WorkingTree cannot always
5782
be obtained ``Branch.working_tree()`` will raise
5783
``errors.NoWorkingTree`` if one cannot be obtained. (Robert Collins)
5784
5785
* All pending merges operations from Branch are now on WorkingTree.
5786
(Robert Collins)
5787
5788
* The follow operations from Branch have moved to WorkingTree::
5789
5790
add()
5791
commit()
5792
move()
5793
rename_one()
5794
unknowns()
5795
5796
(Robert Collins)
5797
5798
* ``bzrlib.add.smart_add_branch`` is now ``smart_add_tree``. (Robert Collins)
5799
5800
* New "rio" serialization format, similar to rfc-822. (Martin Pool)
5801
5802
* Rename selftests to ``bzrlib.tests.test_foo``. (John A Meinel, Martin
5803
Pool)
5804
5805
* ``bzrlib.plugin.all_plugins`` has been changed from an attribute to a
5806
query method. (Robert Collins)
5807
5808
* New options to read only the table-of-contents of a weave.
5809
(Denys Duchier)
5810
5811
* Raise NoSuchFile when someone tries to add a non-existant file.
5812
(Michael Ellerman)
5813
5814
* Simplify handling of DivergedBranches in ``cmd_pull()``.
5815
(Michael Ellerman)
5816
5817
* Branch.controlfile* logic has moved to lockablefiles.LockableFiles, which
5818
is exposed as ``Branch().control_files``. Also this has been altered with the
5819
controlfile pre/suffix replaced by simple method names like 'get' and
5820
'put'. (Aaron Bentley, Robert Collins).
5821
5822
* Deprecated functions and methods can now be marked as such using the
5823
``bzrlib.symbol_versioning`` module. Marked method have their docstring
5824
updated and will issue a DeprecationWarning using the warnings module
5825
when they are used. (Robert Collins)
5826
5827
* ``bzrlib.osutils.safe_unicode`` now exists to provide parameter coercion
5828
for functions that need unicode strings. (Robert Collins)
5829
5830
bzr 0.6 2005-10-28
5831
------------------
5832
5833
IMPROVEMENTS:
5834
5835
* pull now takes --verbose to show you what revisions are added or removed
5836
(John A Meinel)
5837
5838
* merge now takes a --show-base option to include the base text in
5839
conflicts.
5840
(Aaron Bentley)
5841
5842
* The config files are now read using ConfigObj, so '=' should be used as
5843
a separator, not ':'.
5844
(Aaron Bentley)
5845
5846
* New 'bzr commit --strict' option refuses to commit if there are
5847
any unknown files in the tree. To commit, make sure all files are
5848
either ignored, added, or deleted. (Michael Ellerman)
5849
5850
* The config directory is now ~/.bazaar, and there is a single file
5851
~/.bazaar/bazaar.conf storing email, editor and other preferences.
5852
(Robert Collins)
5853
5854
* 'bzr add' no longer takes a --verbose option, and a --quiet option
5855
has been added that suppresses all output.
5856
5857
* Improved zsh completion support in contrib/zsh, from Clint
5858
Adams.
5859
5860
* Builtin 'bzr annotate' command, by Martin Pool with improvements from
5861
Goffredo Baroncelli.
5862
5863
* 'bzr check' now accepts -v for verbose reporting, and checks for
5864
ghosts in the branch. (Robert Collins)
5865
5866
* New command 're-sign' which will regenerate the gpg signature for
5867
a revision. (Robert Collins)
5868
5869
* If you set ``check_signatures=require`` for a path in
5870
``~/.bazaar/branches.conf`` then bzr will invoke your
5871
``gpg_signing_command`` (defaults to gpg) and record a digital signature
5872
of your commit. (Robert Collins)
5873
5874
* New sftp transport, based on Paramiko. (Robey Pointer)
5875
5876
* 'bzr pull' now accepts '--clobber' which will discard local changes
5877
and make this branch identical to the source branch. (Robert Collins)
5878
5879
* Just give a quieter warning if a plugin can't be loaded, and
5880
put the details in .bzr.log. (Martin Pool)
5881
5882
* 'bzr branch' will now set the branch-name to the last component of the
5883
output directory, if one was supplied.
5884
5885
* If the option ``post_commit`` is set to one (or more) python function
5886
names (must be in the bzrlib namespace), then they will be invoked
5887
after the commit has completed, with the branch and ``revision_id`` as
5888
parameters. (Robert Collins)
5889
5890
* Merge now has a retcode of 1 when conflicts occur. (Robert Collins)
5891
5892
* --merge-type weave is now supported for file contents. Tree-shape
5893
changes are still three-way based. (Martin Pool, Aaron Bentley)
5894
5895
* 'bzr check' allows the first revision on revision-history to have
5896
parents - something that is expected for cheap checkouts, and occurs
5897
when conversions from baz do not have all history. (Robert Collins).
5898
5899
* 'bzr merge' can now graft unrelated trees together, if your specify
5900
0 as a base. (Aaron Bentley)
5901
5902
* 'bzr commit branch' and 'bzr commit branch/file1 branch/file2' now work
5903
(Aaron Bentley)
5904
5905
* Add '.sconsign*' to default ignore list. (Alexander Belchenko)
5906
5907
* 'bzr merge --reprocess' minimizes conflicts
5908
5909
TESTING:
5910
5911
* The 'bzr selftest --pattern' option for has been removed, now
5912
test specifiers on the command line can be simple strings, or
5913
regexps, or both. (Robert Collins)
5914
5915
* Passing -v to selftest will now show the time each test took to
5916
complete, which will aid in analysing performance regressions and
5917
related questions. (Robert Collins)
5918
5919
* 'bzr selftest' runs all tests, even if one fails, unless '--one'
5920
is given. (Martin Pool)
5921
5922
* There is a new method for TestCaseInTempDir, assertFileEqual, which
5923
will check that a given content is equal to the content of the named
5924
file. (Robert Collins)
5925
5926
* Fix test suite's habit of leaving many temporary log files in $TMPDIR.
5927
(Martin Pool)
5928
5929
INTERNALS:
5930
5931
* New 'testament' command and concept for making gpg-signatures
5932
of revisions that are not tied to a particular internal
5933
representation. (Martin Pool).
5934
5935
* Per-revision properties ('revprops') as key-value associated
5936
strings on each revision created when the revision is committed.
5937
Intended mainly for the use of external tools. (Martin Pool).
5938
5939
* Config options have moved from bzrlib.osutils to bzrlib.config.
5940
(Robert Collins)
5941
5942
* Improved command line option definitions allowing explanations
5943
for individual options, among other things. Contributed by
5944
Magnus Therning.
5945
5946
* Config options have moved from bzrlib.osutils to bzrlib.config.
5947
Configuration is now done via the config.Config interface:
5948
Depending on whether you have a Branch, a Location or no information
5949
available, construct a ``*Config``, and use its ``signature_checking``,
5950
``username`` and ``user_email`` methods. (Robert Collins)
5951
5952
* Plugins are now loaded under bzrlib.plugins, not bzrlib.plugin, and
5953
they are made available for other plugins to use. You should not
5954
import other plugins during the ``__init__`` of your plugin though, as
5955
no ordering is guaranteed, and the plugins directory is not on the
5956
python path. (Robert Collins)
5957
5958
* Branch.relpath has been moved to WorkingTree.relpath. WorkingTree no
5959
no longer takes an inventory, rather it takes an option branch
5960
parameter, and if None is given will open the branch at basedir
5961
implicitly. (Robert Collins)
5962
5963
* Cleaner exception structure and error reporting. Suggested by
5964
Scott James Remnant. (Martin Pool)
5965
5966
* Branch.remove has been moved to WorkingTree, which has also gained
5967
``lock_read``, ``lock_write`` and ``unlock`` methods for convenience.
5968
(Robert Collins)
5969
5970
* Two decorators, ``needs_read_lock`` and ``needs_write_lock`` have been
5971
added to the branch module. Use these to cause a function to run in a
5972
read or write lock respectively. (Robert Collins)
5973
5974
* ``Branch.open_containing`` now returns a tuple (Branch, relative-path),
5975
which allows direct access to the common case of 'get me this file
5976
from its branch'. (Robert Collins)
5977
5978
* Transports can register using ``register_lazy_transport``, and they
5979
will be loaded when first used. (Martin Pool)
5980
5981
* 'pull' has been factored out of the command as ``WorkingTree.pull()``.
5982
A new option to WorkingTree.pull has been added, clobber, which will
5983
ignore diverged history and pull anyway.
5984
(Robert Collins)
5985
5986
* config.Config has a ``get_user_option`` call that accepts an option name.
5987
This will be looked up in branches.conf and bazaar.conf as normal.
5988
It is intended that this be used by plugins to support options -
5989
options of built in programs should have specific methods on the config.
5990
(Robert Collins)
5991
5992
* ``merge.merge_inner`` now has tempdir as an optional parameter.
5993
(Robert Collins)
5994
5995
* Tree.kind is not recorded at the top level of the hierarchy, as it was
5996
missing on EmptyTree, leading to a bug with merge on EmptyTrees.
5997
(Robert Collins)
5998
5999
* ``WorkingTree.__del__`` has been removed, it was non deterministic and not
6000
doing what it was intended to. See ``WorkingTree.__init__`` for a comment
6001
about future directions. (Robert Collins/Martin Pool)
6002
6003
* bzrlib.transport.http has been modified so that only 404 urllib errors
6004
are returned as NoSuchFile. Other exceptions will propogate as normal.
6005
This allows debuging of actual errors. (Robert Collins)
6006
6007
* bzrlib.transport.Transport now accepts *ONLY* url escaped relative paths
6008
to apis like 'put', 'get' and 'has'. This is to provide consistent
6009
behaviour - it operates on url's only. (Robert Collins)
6010
6011
* Transports can register using ``register_lazy_transport``, and they
6012
will be loaded when first used. (Martin Pool)
6013
6014
* ``merge_flex`` no longer calls ``conflict_handler.finalize()``, instead that
6015
is called by ``merge_inner``. This is so that the conflict count can be
6016
retrieved (and potentially manipulated) before returning to the caller
6017
of ``merge_inner``. Likewise 'merge' now returns the conflict count to the
6018
caller. (Robert Collins)
6019
6020
* ``revision.revision_graph`` can handle having only partial history for
6021
a revision - that is no revisions in the graph with no parents.
6022
(Robert Collins).
6023
6024
* New ``builtins.branch_files`` uses the standard ``file_list`` rules to
6025
produce a branch and a list of paths, relative to that branch
6026
(Aaron Bentley)
6027
6028
* New TestCase.addCleanup facility.
6029
6030
* New ``bzrlib.version_info`` tuple (similar to ``sys.version_info``),
6031
which can be used by programs importing bzrlib.
6032
6033
BUG FIXES:
6034
6035
* Better handling of branches in directories with non-ascii names.
6036
(Joel Rosdahl, Panagiotis Papadakos)
6037
6038
* Upgrades of trees with no commits will not fail due to accessing
6039
[-1] in the revision-history. (Andres Salomon)
6040
6041
6042
bzr 0.1.1 2005-10-12
6043
--------------------
6044
6045
BUG FIXES:
6046
6047
* Fix problem in pulling over http from machines that do not
6048
allow directories to be listed.
6049
6050
* Avoid harmless warning about invalid hash cache after
6051
upgrading branch format.
6052
6053
PERFORMANCE:
6054
6055
* Avoid some unnecessary http operations in branch and pull.
6056
6057
6058
bzr 0.1 2005-10-11
6059
------------------
6060
6061
NOTES:
6062
6063
* 'bzr branch' over http initially gives a very high estimate
6064
of completion time but it should fall as the first few
6065
revisions are pulled in. branch is still slow on
6066
high-latency connections.
6067
6068
BUG FIXES:
6069
6070
* bzr-man.py has been updated to work again. Contributed by
6071
Rob Weir.
6072
6073
* Locking is now done with fcntl.lockf which works with NFS
6074
file systems. Contributed by Harald Meland.
6075
6076
* When a merge encounters a file that has been deleted on
6077
one side and modified on the other, the old contents are
6078
written out to foo.BASE and foo.SIDE, where SIDE is this
6079
or OTHER. Contributed by Aaron Bentley.
6080
6081
* Export was choosing incorrect file paths for the content of
6082
the tarball, this has been fixed by Aaron Bentley.
6083
6084
* Commit will no longer commit without a log message, an
6085
error is returned instead. Contributed by Jelmer Vernooij.
6086
6087
* If you commit a specific file in a sub directory, any of its
6088
parent directories that are added but not listed will be
6089
automatically included. Suggested by Michael Ellerman.
6090
6091
* bzr commit and upgrade did not correctly record new revisions
6092
for files with only a change to their executable status.
6093
bzr will correct this when it encounters it. Fixed by
6094
Robert Collins
6095
6096
* HTTP tests now force off the use of ``http_proxy`` for the duration.
6097
Contributed by Gustavo Niemeyer.
6098
6099
* Fix problems in merging weave-based branches that have
6100
different partial views of history.
6101
6102
* Symlink support: working with symlinks when not in the root of a
6103
bzr tree was broken, patch from Scott James Remnant.
6104
6105
IMPROVEMENTS:
6106
6107
* 'branch' now accepts a --basis parameter which will take advantage
6108
of local history when making a new branch. This allows faster
6109
branching of remote branches. Contributed by Aaron Bentley.
6110
6111
* New tree format based on weave files, called version 5.
6112
Existing branches can be upgraded to this format using
6113
'bzr upgrade'.
6114
6115
* Symlinks are now versionable. Initial patch by
6116
Erik Toubro Nielsen, updated to head by Robert Collins.
6117
6118
* Executable bits are tracked on files. Patch from Gustavo
6119
Niemeyer.
6120
6121
* 'bzr status' now shows unknown files inside a selected directory.
6122
Patch from Heikki Paajanen.
6123
6124
* Merge conflicts are recorded in .bzr. Two new commands 'conflicts'
6125
and 'resolve' have needed added, which list and remove those
6126
merge conflicts respectively. A conflicted tree cannot be committed
6127
in. Contributed by Aaron Bentley.
6128
6129
* 'rm' is now an alias for 'remove'.
6130
6131
* Stores now split out their content in a single byte prefixed hash,
6132
dropping the density of files per directory by 256. Contributed by
6133
Gustavo Niemeyer.
6134
6135
* 'bzr diff -r branch:URL' will now perform a diff between two branches.
6136
Contributed by Robert Collins.
6137
6138
* 'bzr log' with the default formatter will show merged revisions,
6139
indented to the right. Initial implementation contributed by Gustavo
6140
Niemeyer, made incremental by Robert Collins.
6141
6142
6143
INTERNALS:
6144
6145
* Test case failures have the exception printed after the log
6146
for your viewing pleasure.
6147
6148
* InventoryEntry is now an abstract base class, use one of the
6149
concrete InventoryDirectory etc classes instead.
6150
6151
* Branch raises an UnsupportedFormatError when it detects a
6152
bzr branch it cannot understand. This allows for precise
6153
handling of such circumstances.
6154
6155
* Remove RevisionReference class; ``Revision.parent_ids`` is now simply a
6156
list of their ids and ``parent_sha1s`` is a list of their corresponding
6157
sha1s (for old branches only at the moment.)
6158
6159
* New method-object style interface for Commit() and Fetch().
6160
6161
* Renamed ``Branch.last_patch()`` to ``Branch.last_revision()``, since
6162
we call them revisions not patches.
6163
6164
* Move ``copy_branch`` to ``bzrlib.clone.copy_branch``. The destination
6165
directory is created if it doesn't exist.
6166
6167
* Inventories now identify the files which were present by
6168
giving the revision *of that file*.
6169
6170
* Inventory and Revision XML contains a version identifier.
6171
This must be consistent with the overall branch version
6172
but allows for more flexibility in future upgrades.
6173
6174
TESTING:
6175
6176
* Removed testsweet module so that tests can be run after
6177
bzr installed by 'bzr selftest'.
6178
6179
* 'bzr selftest' command-line arguments can now be partial ids
6180
of tests to run, e.g. ``bzr selftest test_weave``
6181
6182
6183
bzr 0.0.9 2005-09-23
6184
--------------------
6185
6186
BUG FIXES:
6187
6188
* Fixed "branch -r" option.
6189
6190
* Fix remote access to branches containing non-compressed history.
6191
(Robert Collins).
6192
6193
* Better reliability of http server tests. (John Arbash-Meinel)
6194
6195
* Merge graph maximum distance calculation fix. (Aaron Bentley)
6196
6197
* Various minor bug in windows support have been fixed, largely in the
6198
test suite. Contributed by Alexander Belchenko.
6199
6200
IMPROVEMENTS:
6201
6202
* Status now accepts a -r argument to give status between chosen
6203
revisions. Contributed by Heikki Paajanen.
6204
6205
* Revision arguments no longer use +/-/= to control ranges, instead
6206
there is a 'before' namespace, which limits the successive namespace.
6207
For example '$ bzr log -r date:yesterday..before:date:today' will
6208
select everything from yesterday and before today. Contributed by
6209
Robey Pointer
6210
6211
* There is now a bzr.bat file created by distutils when building on
6212
Windows. Contributed by Alexander Belchenko.
6213
6214
INTERNALS:
6215
6216
* Removed uuid() as it was unused.
6217
6218
* Improved 'fetch' code for pulling revisions from one branch into
6219
another (used by pull, merged, etc.)
6220
6221
6222
bzr 0.0.8 2005-09-20
6223
--------------------
6224
6225
IMPROVEMENTS:
6226
6227
* Adding a file whose parent directory is not versioned will
6228
implicitly add the parent, and so on up to the root. This means
6229
you should never need to explictly add a directory, they'll just
6230
get added when you add a file in the directory. Contributed by
6231
Michael Ellerman.
6232
6233
* Ignore ``.DS_Store`` (contains Mac metadata) by default.
6234
(Nir Soffer)
6235
6236
* If you set ``BZR_EDITOR`` in the environment, it is checked in
6237
preference to EDITOR and the config file for the interactive commit
6238
editing program. Related to this is a bugfix where a missing program
6239
set in EDITOR would cause editing to fail, now the fallback program
6240
for the operating system is still tried.
6241
6242
* Files that are not directories/symlinks/regular files will no longer
6243
cause bzr to fail, it will just ignore them by default. You cannot add
6244
them to the tree though - they are not versionable.
6245
6246
6247
INTERNALS:
6248
6249
* Refactor xml packing/unpacking.
6250
6251
BUG FIXES:
6252
6253
* Fixed 'bzr mv' by Ollie Rutherfurd.
6254
6255
* Fixed strange error when trying to access a nonexistent http
6256
branch.
6257
6258
* Make sure that the hashcache gets written out if it can't be
6259
read.
6260
6261
6262
PORTABILITY:
6263
6264
* Various Windows fixes from Ollie Rutherfurd.
6265
6266
* Quieten warnings about locking; patch from Matt Lavin.
6267
6268
6269
bzr-0.0.7 2005-09-02
6270
--------------------
6271
6272
NEW FEATURES:
6273
6274
* ``bzr shell-complete`` command contributed by Clint Adams to
6275
help with intelligent shell completion.
6276
6277
* New expert command ``bzr find-merge-base`` for debugging merges.
6278
6279
6280
ENHANCEMENTS:
6281
6282
* Much better merge support.
6283
6284
* merge3 conflicts are now reported with markers like '<<<<<<<'
6285
(seven characters) which is the same as CVS and pleases things
6286
like emacs smerge.
6287
6288
6289
BUG FIXES:
6290
6291
* ``bzr upgrade`` no longer fails when trying to fix trees that
6292
mention revisions that are not present.
6293
6294
* Fixed bugs in listing plugins from ``bzr plugins``.
6295
6296
* Fix case of $EDITOR containing options for the editor.
6297
6298
* Fix log -r refusing to show the last revision.
6299
(Patch from Goffredo Baroncelli.)
6300
6301
6302
CHANGES:
6303
6304
* ``bzr log --show-ids`` shows the revision ids of all parents.
6305
6306
* Externally provided commands on your $BZRPATH no longer need
6307
to recognize --bzr-usage to work properly, and can just handle
6308
--help themselves.
6309
6310
6311
LIBRARY:
6312
6313
* Changed trace messages to go through the standard logging
6314
framework, so that they can more easily be redirected by
6315
libraries.
6316
6317
6318
6319
bzr-0.0.6 2005-08-18
6320
--------------------
6321
6322
NEW FEATURES:
6323
6324
* Python plugins, automatically loaded from the directories on
6325
``BZR_PLUGIN_PATH`` or ``~/.bzr.conf/plugins`` by default.
6326
6327
* New 'bzr mkdir' command.
6328
6329
* Commit mesage is fetched from an editor if not given on the
6330
command line; patch from Torsten Marek.
6331
6332
* ``bzr log -m FOO`` displays commits whose message matches regexp
6333
FOO.
6334
6335
* ``bzr add`` with no arguments adds everything under the current directory.
6336
6337
* ``bzr mv`` does move or rename depending on its arguments, like
6338
the Unix command.
6339
6340
* ``bzr missing`` command shows a summary of the differences
6341
between two trees. (Merged from John Arbash-Meinel.)
6342
6343
* An email address for commits to a particular tree can be
6344
specified by putting it into .bzr/email within a branch. (Based
6345
on a patch from Heikki Paajanen.)
6346
6347
6348
ENHANCEMENTS:
6349
6350
* Faster working tree operations.
6351
6352
6353
CHANGES:
6354
6355
* 3rd-party modules shipped with bzr are copied within the bzrlib
6356
python package, so that they can be installed by the setup
6357
script without clashing with anything already existing on the
6358
system. (Contributed by Gustavo Niemeyer.)
6359
6360
* Moved plugins directory to bzrlib/, so that there's a standard
6361
plugin directory which is not only installed with bzr itself but
6362
is also available when using bzr from the development tree.
6363
``BZR_PLUGIN_PATH`` and ``DEFAULT_PLUGIN_PATH`` are then added to the
6364
standard plugins directory.
6365
6366
* When exporting to a tarball with ``bzr export --format tgz``, put
6367
everything under a top directory rather than dumping it into the
6368
current directory. This can be overridden with the ``--root``
6369
option. Patch from William Dodé and John Meinel.
6370
6371
* New ``bzr upgrade`` command to upgrade the format of a branch,
6372
replacing ``bzr check --update``.
6373
6374
* Files within store directories are no longer marked readonly on
6375
disk.
6376
6377
* Changed ``bzr log`` output to a more compact form suggested by
6378
John A Meinel. Old format is available with the ``--long`` or
6379
``-l`` option, patched by William Dodé.
6380
6381
* By default the commit command refuses to record a revision with
6382
no changes unless the ``--unchanged`` option is given.
6383
6384
* The ``--no-plugins``, ``--profile`` and ``--builtin`` command
6385
line options must come before the command name because they
6386
affect what commands are available; all other options must come
6387
after the command name because their interpretation depends on
6388
it.
6389
6390
* ``branch`` and ``clone`` added as aliases for ``branch``.
6391
6392
* Default log format is back to the long format; the compact one
6393
is available with ``--short``.
6394
6395
6396
BUG FIXES:
6397
6398
* Fix bugs in committing only selected files or within a subdirectory.
6399
6400
6401
bzr-0.0.5 2005-06-15
6402
---------------------
6403
6404
CHANGES:
6405
6406
* ``bzr`` with no command now shows help rather than giving an
6407
error. Suggested by Michael Ellerman.
6408
6409
* ``bzr status`` output format changed, because svn-style output
6410
doesn't really match the model of bzr. Now files are grouped by
6411
status and can be shown with their IDs. ``bzr status --all``
6412
shows all versioned files and unknown files but not ignored files.
6413
6414
* ``bzr log`` runs from most-recent to least-recent, the reverse
6415
of the previous order. The previous behaviour can be obtained
6416
with the ``--forward`` option.
6417
6418
* ``bzr inventory`` by default shows only filenames, and also ids
6419
if ``--show-ids`` is given, in which case the id is the second
6420
field.
6421
6422
6423
ENHANCEMENTS:
6424
6425
* New 'bzr whoami --email' option shows only the email component
6426
of the user identification, from Jo Vermeulen.
6427
6428
* New ``bzr ignore PATTERN`` command.
6429
6430
* Nicer error message for broken pipe, interrupt and similar
6431
conditions that don't indicate an internal error.
6432
6433
* Add ``.*.sw[nop] .git .*.tmp *,v`` to default ignore patterns.
6434
6435
* Per-branch locks keyed on ``.bzr/branch-lock``, available in
6436
either read or write mode.
6437
6438
* New option ``bzr log --show-ids`` shows revision and file ids.
6439
6440
* New usage ``bzr log FILENAME`` shows only revisions that
6441
affected that file.
6442
6443
* Changed format for describing changes in ``bzr log -v``.
6444
6445
* New option ``bzr commit --file`` to take a message from a file,
6446
suggested by LarstiQ.
6447
6448
* New syntax ``bzr status [FILE...]`` contributed by Bartosz
6449
Oler. File may be in a branch other than the working directory.
6450
6451
* ``bzr log`` and ``bzr root`` can be given an http URL instead of
6452
a filename.
6453
6454
* Commands can now be defined by external programs or scripts
6455
in a directory on $BZRPATH.
6456
6457
* New "stat cache" avoids reading the contents of files if they
6458
haven't changed since the previous time.
6459
6460
* If the Python interpreter is too old, try to find a better one
6461
or give an error. Based on a patch from Fredrik Lundh.
6462
6463
* New optional parameter ``bzr info [BRANCH]``.
6464
6465
* New form ``bzr commit SELECTED`` to commit only selected files.
6466
6467
* New form ``bzr log -r FROM:TO`` shows changes in selected
6468
range; contributed by John A Meinel.
6469
6470
* New option ``bzr diff --diff-options 'OPTS'`` allows passing
6471
options through to an external GNU diff.
6472
6473
* New option ``bzr add --no-recurse`` to add a directory but not
6474
their contents.
6475
6476
* ``bzr --version`` now shows more information if bzr is being run
6477
from a branch.
6478
6479
6480
BUG FIXES:
6481
6482
* Fixed diff format so that added and removed files will be
6483
handled properly by patch. Fix from Lalo Martins.
6484
6485
* Various fixes for files whose names contain spaces or other
6486
metacharacters.

* Converted black-box test suites from Bourne shell into Python;
6492
now run using ``./testbzr``. Various structural improvements to
6493
the tests.
6494
6495
* testbzr by default runs the version of bzr found in the same
6496
directory as the tests, or the one given as the first parameter.
6497
6498
* testbzr also runs the internal tests, so the only command
6499
required to check is just ``./testbzr``.
6500
6501
* testbzr requires python2.4, but can be used to test bzr running
6502
under a different version.
6503
6504
* Tests added for many other changes in this release.
6505
6506
6507
INTERNAL:
6508
6509
* Included ElementTree library upgraded to 1.2.6 by Fredrik Lundh.
6510
6511
* Refactor command functions into Command objects based on HCT by
6512
Scott James Remnant.
6513
6514
* Better help messages for many commands.
6515
6516
* Expose ``bzrlib.open_tracefile()`` to start the tracefile; until
6517
this is called trace messages are just discarded.
6518
6519
* New internal function ``find_touching_revisions()`` and hidden
6520
command touching-revisions trace the changes to a given file.
6521
6522
* Simpler and faster ``compare_inventories()`` function.
6523
6524
* ``bzrlib.open_tracefile()`` takes a tracefilename parameter.
6525
6526
* New AtomicFile class.
6527
6528
* New developer commands ``added``, ``modified``.
6529
6530
6531
PORTABILITY:
6532
6533
* Cope on Windows on python2.3 by using the weaker random seed.
6534
2.4 is now only recommended.

6538
---------------------
6539
6540
ENHANCEMENTS:
6541
6542
* 'bzr diff' optionally takes a list of files to diff. Still a bit
6543
basic. Patch from QuantumG.
6544
6545
* More default ignore patterns.
6546
6547
* New 'bzr log --verbose' shows a list of files changed in the
6548
changeset. Patch from Sebastian Cote.
6549
6550
* Roll over ~/.bzr.log if it gets too large.
6551
6552
* Command abbreviations 'ci', 'st', 'stat', '?' based on a patch
6553
by Jason Diamon.
6554
6555
* New 'bzr help commands' based on a patch from Denys Duchier.
6556
6557
6558
CHANGES:
6559
6560
* User email is determined by looking at $BZREMAIL or ~/.bzr.email
6561
or $EMAIL. All are decoded by the locale preferred encoding.
6562
If none of these are present user@hostname is used. The host's
6563
fully-qualified name is not used because that tends to fail when
6564
there are DNS problems.
6565
6566
* New 'bzr whoami' command instead of username user-email.
6567
6568
6569
BUG FIXES:
6570
6571
* Make commit safe for hardlinked bzr trees.
6572
6573
* Some Unicode/locale fixes.
6574
6575
* Partial workaround for ``difflib.unified_diff`` not handling
6576
trailing newlines properly.
6577
6578
6579
INTERNAL:
6580
6581
* Allow docstrings for help to be in PEP0257 format. Patch from
6582
Matt Brubeck.
6583
6584
* More tests in test.sh.
6585
6586
* Write profile data to a temporary file not into working
6587
directory and delete it when done.
6588
6589
* Smaller .bzr.log with process ids.
6590
6591
6592
PORTABILITY:
6593
6594
* Fix opening of ~/.bzr.log on Windows. Patch from Andrew
6595
Bennetts.
6596
6597
* Some improvements in handling paths on Windows, based on a patch
6598
from QuantumG.

6621
CHANGES:
6622
6623
* .bzr.log is placed in $HOME (not pwd) and is always written in
6624
UTF-8. (Probably not a completely good long-term solution, but
6625
will do for now.)
6626
6627
PORTABILITY:
6628
6629
* Workaround for difflib bug in Python 2.3 that causes an
6630
exception when comparing empty files. Reported by Erik Toubro
6631
Nielsen.

6658
rather than replacing it.

6660
* Ignore list isn't reread for every file.
6661
6662
* More help topics.
6663
6664
* Reinstate the 'bzr check' command to check invariants of the
6665
branch.
6666
6667
* New 'ignored' command lists which files are ignored and why;
6668
'deleted' lists files deleted in the current working tree.
6669
6670
* Performance improvements.
6671
6672
* New global --profile option.
6673
6674
* Ignore patterns like './config.h' now correctly match files in

6702
supported).
