13
* Knit format repositories are deprecated and bzr will now emit
14
warnings whenever it encounters one. Use ``bzr upgrade`` to upgrade
15
knit repositories to pack format. (Andrew Bennetts)
23
* ``bzr check`` can now be told which elements at a location it should
24
check. (Daniel Watkins)
26
* Commit now supports ``--exclude`` (or ``-x``) to exclude some files
27
from the commit. (Robert Collins, #3117)
29
* Give a more specific error when target branch is not reachable.
32
* Implemented a custom ``walkdirs_utf8`` implementation for win32.
33
This uses a pyrex extension to get direct access to the
34
``FindFirstFileW`` style apis, rather than using ``listdir`` +
35
``lstat``. Shows a very strong improvement in commands like
36
``status`` and ``diff`` which have to iterate the working tree.
37
Anywhere from 2x-6x faster depending on the size of the tree (bigger
38
trees, bigger benefit.) (John Arbash Meinel)
40
* Fetching data between repositories that have the same model but no
41
optimised fetcher will not reserialise all the revisions, increasing
42
performance. (Robert Collins, John Arbash Meinel)
46
* Add more tests that stacking does not create deltas spanning
47
physical repository boundaries.
48
(Martin Pool, #252428)
50
* Better message about incompatible repositories.
51
(Martin Pool, #206258)
53
* ``bzr branch --stacked`` ensures the destination branch format can
54
support stacking, even if the origin does not.
57
* ``bzr export`` no longer exports ``.bzrrules``.
60
* Fix a test case that was failing if encoding wasn't UTF-8.
61
(John Arbash Meinel, #247585)
63
* Fix "no buffer space available" error when branching with the new
64
smart server protocol to or from Windows.
65
(Andrew Bennetts, #246180)
67
* Deleting directories by hand before running ``bzr rm`` will not
68
cause subsequent errors in ``bzr st`` and ``bzr commit``.
69
(Robert Collins, #150438)
79
* ``MutableTree.commit`` has an extra optional keywork parameter
80
``exclude`` that will be unconditionally supplied by the command
81
line UI - plugins that add tree formats may need an update.
84
* The API minimum version for plugin compatibility has been raised to
85
1.6 - there are significant changes throughout the code base.
88
* The generic fetch code now uses three attributes on Repository objects
89
to control fetch. The streams requested are controlled via :
90
``_fetch_order`` and ``_fetch_uses_deltas``. Setting these
91
appropriately allows different repository implementations to recieve
92
data in their optimial form. If the ``_fetch_reconcile`` is set then
93
a reconcile operation is triggered at the end of the fetch.
96
* The ``put_on_disk`` and ``get_tar_item`` methods in
97
``InventoryEntry`` were deprecated. (Ian Clatworthy)
99
* ``Repository.is_shared`` doesn't take a read lock. It didn't
100
need one in the first place (nobody cached the value, and
101
``RemoteRepository`` wasn't taking one either). This saves a round
102
trip when probing Pack repositories, as they read the ``pack-names``
103
file when locked. And during probe, locking the repo isn't very
104
useful. (John Arbash Meinel)
109
* ``bzrlib.branchbuilder.BranchBuilder`` is now much more capable of
110
putting together a real history without having to create a full
111
WorkingTree. It is recommended that tests that are not directly
112
testing the WorkingTree use BranchBuilder instead. See
113
``BranchBuilder.build_snapshot`` or
114
``TestCaseWithMemoryTree.make_branch_builder``. (John Arbash Meinel)
116
* ``bzrlib.builtins.internal_tree_files`` broken into two giving a new
117
helper ``safe_relpath_files`` - used by the new ``exclude``
118
parameter to commit. (Robert Collins)
120
* Make it easier to introduce new WorkingTree formats.
123
* The code for exporting trees was refactored not to use the
124
deprecated ``InventoryEntry`` methods. (Ian Clatworthy)
126
* RuleSearchers return () instead of [] now when there are no matches.
130
bzr 1.6beta3 2008-07-17
131
-----------------------
135
* New ``pre_change_branch_tip`` hook that is called before the
136
branch tip is moved, while the branch is write-locked. See the User
137
Reference for signature details. (Andrew Bennetts)
139
* Rule-based preferences can now be defined for selected files in
140
selected branches, allowing commands and plugins to provide
141
custom behaviour for files matching defined patterns.
142
See ``Rule-based preferences`` (part of ``Configuring Bazaar``)
143
in the User Guide and ``bzr help rules`` for more information.
146
* Sites may suggest a branch to stack new branches on. (Aaron Bentley)
148
* Stacked branches are now supported. See ``bzr help branch`` and
149
``bzr help push``. (Robert Collins)
153
* ``bzr export --format=tgz --root=NAME -`` to export a gzipped tarball
154
to stdout; also ``tar`` and ``tbz2``.
157
* ``bzr (re)merge --weave`` will now use a standard Weave algorithm,
158
rather than the annotation-based merge it was using. It does so by
159
building up a Weave of the important texts, without needing to build
160
the full ancestry. (John Arbash Meinel, #238895)
162
* ``bzr send`` documents and better supports ``emacsclient`` (proper
163
escaping of mail headers and handling of the MUA Mew).
164
(Christophe Troestler)
166
* Remembered locations can be specified by aliases, e.g. :parent, :public,
167
:submit. (Aaron Bentley)
169
* The smart protocol now has improved support for setting branches'
170
revision info directly. This makes operations like push
171
faster. The new request method name is
172
``Branch.set_last_revision_ex``. (Andrew Bennetts)
174
* New registry for log properties handles and the method in
175
LongLogFormatter to display the custom properties returned by the
176
registered handlers. (Guillermo Gonzalez, #162469)
180
* Bazaar is now able to be a client to the web server of IIS 6 and 7.
181
The broken implementations of RFC822 in Python and RFC2046 in IIS
182
combined with boundary-line checking in Bazaar previously made this
183
impossible. (NB, IIS 5 does not suffer from this problem).
184
(Adrian Wilkins, #247585)
186
* ``bzr log --long`` with a ghost in your mainline now handles that
187
ghost properly. (John Arbash Meinel, #243536)
189
* ``check`` handles the split-up .bzr layout correctly, so no longer
190
requires a branch to be present.
191
(Daniel Watkins, #64783)
193
* ``bzr serve --directory=/`` now correctly allows the whole
194
filesystem to be accessed on Windows, not just the root of the drive
195
that Python is running from.
196
(Adrian Wilkins, #240910)
198
* Clearer message about how to set the PYTHONPATH if bzrlib can't be
200
(Martin Pool, #205230)
202
* Errors about missing libraries are now shown without a traceback,
203
and with a suggestion to install the library. The full traceback is
204
still in ``.bzr.log`` and can be shown with ``-Derror``.
205
(Martin Pool, #240161)
207
* Fixed problem in branching from smart server.
208
(#249256, Michael Hudson, Martin Pool)
210
* Fetch from a stacked branch copies all required data.
211
(Aaron Bentley, #248506)
213
* Handle urls such as ftp://user@host.com@www.host.com where the user
215
(Neil Martinsen-Burrell, #228058)
217
* ``needs_read_lock`` and ``needs_write_lock`` now suppress an error during
218
``unlock`` if there was an error in the original function. This helps
219
most when there is a failure with a smart server action, since often the
220
connection closes and we cannot unlock.
221
(Andrew Bennetts, John Arbash Meinel, #125784)
223
* Obsolete hidden command ``bzr fetch`` removed.
224
(Martin Pool, #172870)
226
* Raise the correct exception when doing ``-rbefore:0`` or ``-c0``.
227
(John Arbash Meinel, #239933)
229
* You can now compare file revisions in Windows diff programs from
231
(Matt McClure, #209281)
233
* revision_history now tolerates mainline ghosts for Branch format 6.
234
(Aaron Bentley, #235055)
236
* Set locale from environment for third party libs.
237
(Martin von Gagern, #128496)
239
* Handle a file turning in to a directory in TreeTransform.
240
(James Westby, #248448)
244
* Added *Using stacked branches* to the User Guide.
247
* Updated developer documentation.
252
* ``-Dmemory`` will cause /proc/PID/status to be catted before bzr
253
exits, allowing low-key analysis of peak memory use. (Robert Collins)
255
* ``TestCaseWithTransport.make_branch_and_tree`` tries harder to return
256
a tree with a ``branch`` attribute of the right format. This was
257
preventing some ``RemoteBranch`` tests from actually running with
258
``RemoteBranch`` instances. (Andrew Bennetts)
262
* Removed ``Repository.text_store``, ``control_store``, etc. Instead,
263
there are new attributes ``texts, inventories, revisions,
264
signatures``, each of which is a ``VersionedFiles``. See the
265
Repository docstring for more details.
268
* ``Branch.pull`` now accepts an ``_override_hook_target`` optional
269
parameter. If you have a subclass of ``Branch`` that overrides
270
``pull`` then you should add this parameter. (Andrew Bennetts)
272
* ``bzrlib.check.check()`` has been deprecated in favour of the more
273
aptly-named ``bzrlib.check.check_branch()``.
276
* ``Tree.print_file`` and ``Repository.print_file`` are deprecated.
277
These methods are bad APIs because they write directly to sys.stdout.
278
bzrlib does not use them internally, and there are no direct tests
279
for them. (Alexander Belchenko)
283
* ``cat`` command no longer uses ``Tree.print_file()`` internally.
284
(Alexander Belchenko)
286
* New class method ``BzrDir.open_containing_tree_branch_or_repository``
287
which eases the discovery of the tree, the branch and the repository
288
containing a given location.
291
* New ``versionedfile.KeyMapper`` interface to abstract out the access to
292
underlying .knit/.kndx etc files in repositories with partitioned
293
storage. (Robert Collins)
295
* Obsolete developer-use command ``weave-join`` has been removed.
298
* ``RemoteToOtherFetcher`` and ``get_data_stream_for_search`` removed,
299
to support new ``VersionedFiles`` layering.
303
bzr 1.6beta2 2008-06-10
304
-----------------------
306
This release contains further progress towards our 1.6 goals of shallow
307
repositories, and contains a fix for some user-affecting bugs in the
308
repository layer. Building working trees during checkout and branch is
313
* Avoid KnitCorrupt error extracting inventories from some repositories.
314
(The data is not corrupt; an internal check is detecting a problem
315
reading from the repository.)
316
(Martin Pool, Andrew Bennetts, Robert Collins, #234748)
318
* ``bzr status`` was breaking if you merged the same revision twice.
319
(John Arbash Meinel, #235407)
321
* Fix infinite loop consuming 100% CPU when a connection is lost while
322
reading a response body via the smart protocol v1 or v2.
325
* Inserting a bundle which changes the contents of a file with no trailing
326
end of line, causing a knit snapshot in a 'knits' repository will no longer
327
cause KnitCorrupt. (Robert Collins)
329
* ``RemoteBranch.pull`` needs to return the ``self._real_branch``'s
330
pull result. It was instead just returning None, which breaks ``bzr
331
pull``. (John Arbash Meinel, #238149)
333
* Sanitize branch nick before using it as an attachment filename in
334
``bzr send``. (Lukáš Lalinský, #210218)
336
* Squash ``inv_entry.symlink_target`` to a plain string when
337
generating DirState details. This prevents from getting a
338
``UnicodeError`` when you have symlinks and non-ascii filenames.
339
(John Arbash Meinel, #135320)
343
* Added the 'alias' command to set/unset and display aliases. (Tim Penhey)
345
* ``added``, ``modified``, and ``unknowns`` behaviour made consistent (all three
346
now quote paths where required). Added ``--null`` option to ``added`` and
347
``modified`` (for null-separated unknowns, use ``ls --unknown --null``)
350
* Faster branching (1.09x) and lightweight checkouts (1.06x) on large trees.
351
(Ian Clatworthy, Aaron Bentley)
355
* Added *Bazaar Zen* section to the User Guide. (Ian Clatworthy)
359
* Fix the test HTTPServer to be isolated from chdir calls made while it is
360
running, allowing it to be used in blackbox tests. (Robert Collins)
364
* ``WorkingTree.set_parent_(ids/trees)`` will now filter out revisions
365
which are in the ancestry of other revisions. So if you merge the same
366
tree twice, or merge an ancestor of an existing merge, it will only
367
record the newest. (If you merge a descendent, it will replace its
368
ancestor). (John Arbash Meinel, #235407)
370
* ``RepositoryPolicy.__init__`` now requires stack_on and stack_on_pwd,
371
through the derived classes do not. (Aaron Bentley)
375
* ``bzrlib.bzrdir.BzrDir.sprout`` now accepts ``stacked`` to control
376
creating stacked branches. (Robert Collins)
378
* Knit record serialisation is now stricter on what it will accept, to
379
guard against potential internal bugs, or broken input. (Robert Collins)
382
bzr 1.6beta1 2008-06-02
383
-----------------------
386
Commands that work on the revision history such as push, pull, missing,
387
uncommit and log are now substantially faster. This release adds a
388
translation of some of the user documentation into Spanish. (Contributions of
389
other translations would be very welcome.) Bazaar 1.6beta1 adds a new network
390
protocol which is used by default and which allows for more efficient transfers
391
and future extensions.
394
NOTES WHEN UPGRADING:
396
* There is a new version of the network protocol used for bzr://, bzr+ssh://
397
and bzr+http:// connections. This will allow more efficient requests and
398
responses, and more graceful fallback when a server is too old to
399
recognise a request from a more recent client. Bazaar 1.6 will
400
interoperate with 0.16 and later versions, but servers should be upgraded
401
when possible. Bazaar 1.6 no longer interoperates with 0.15 and earlier via
402
these protocols. Use alternatives like SFTP or upgrade those servers.
403
(Andrew Bennetts, #83935)
407
* Deprecation warnings will not be suppressed when running ``bzr selftest``
408
so that developers can see if their code is using deprecated functions.
413
* Adding ``-Derror`` will now display a traceback when a plugin fails to
418
* ``bzr branch/push/pull -r XXX`` now have a helper function for finding
419
the revno of the new revision (``Graph.find_distance_to_null``). This
420
should make something like ``bzr branch -r -100`` in a shared, no-trees
421
repository much snappier. (John Arbash Meinel)
423
* ``bzr log --short -r X..Y`` no longer needs to access the full revision
424
history. This makes it noticeably faster when logging the last few
425
revisions. (John Arbash Meinel)
427
* ``bzr ls`` now accepts ``-V`` as an alias for ``--versioned``.
428
(Jerad Cramp, #165086)
430
* ``bzr missing`` uses the new ``Graph.find_unique_ancestors`` and
431
``Graph.find_differences`` to determine missing revisions without having
432
to search the whole ancestry. (John Arbash Meinel, #174625)
434
* ``bzr uncommit`` now uses partial history access, rather than always
435
extracting the full revision history for a branch. This makes it
436
resolve the appropriate revisions much faster (in testing it drops
437
uncommit from 1.5s => 0.4s). It also means ``bzr log --short`` is one
438
step closer to not using full revision history.
439
(John Arbash Meinel, #172649)
443
* ``bzr merge --lca`` should handle when two revisions have no common
444
ancestor other than NULL_REVISION. (John Arbash Meinel, #235715)
446
* ``bzr status`` was breaking if you merged the same revision twice.
447
(John Arbash Meinel, #235407)
449
* ``bzr push`` with both ``--overwrite`` and ``-r NNN`` options no longer
450
fails. (Andrew Bennetts, #234229)
452
* Correctly track the base URL of a smart medium when using bzr+http://
453
URLs, which was causing spurious "No repository present" errors with
454
branches in shared repositories accessed over bzr+http.
455
(Andrew Bennetts, #230550)
457
* Define ``_remote_is_at_least_1_2`` on ``SmartClientMedium`` so that all
458
implementations have the attribute. Fixes 'PyCurlTransport' object has no
459
attribute '_remote_is_at_least_1_2' attribute errors.
460
(Andrew Bennetts, #220806)
462
* Failure to delete an obsolete pack file should just give a warning
463
message, not a fatal error. It may for example fail if the file is still
464
in use by another process.
467
* Fix MemoryError during large fetches over HTTP by limiting the amount of
468
data we try to read per ``recv`` call. The problem was observed with
469
Windows and a proxy, but might affect other environments as well.
470
(Eric Holmberg, #215426)
472
* Handle old merge directives correctly in Merger.from_mergeable. Stricter
473
get_parent_map requirements exposed a latent bug here. (Aaron Bentley)
475
* Issue a warning and ignore passwords declared in authentication.conf when
476
used for an ssh scheme (sftp or bzr+ssh).
477
(Vincent Ladeuil, #203186)
479
* Make both http implementations raise appropriate exceptions on 403
480
Forbidden when POSTing smart requests.
481
(Vincent Ladeuil, #230223)
483
* Properly *title* header names in http requests instead of capitalizing
485
(Vincent Ladeuil, #229076)
487
* The "Unable to obtain lock" error message now also suggests using
488
``bzr break-lock`` to fix it. (Martin Albisetti, #139202)
490
* Treat an encoding of '' as ascii; this can happen when bzr is run
491
under vim on Mac OS X.
492
(Neil Martinsen-Burrell)
494
* ``VersionedFile.make_mpdiffs()`` was raising an exception that wasn't in
495
scope. (Daniel Fischer #235687)
499
* Added directory structure and started translation of docs in spanish.
500
(Martin Albisetti, Lucio Albenga)
502
* Incorporate feedback from Jelmer Vernooij and Neil Martinsen-Burrell
503
on the plugin and integration chapters of the User Guide.
506
* More Bazaar developer documentation about packaging and release process,
507
and about use of Python reprs.
508
(Martin Pool, Martin Albisetti)
510
* Updated Tortise strategy document. (Mark Hammond)
514
* ``bzrlib.tests.adapt_tests`` was broken and unused - it has been fixed.
517
* Fix the test HTTPServer to be isolated from chdir calls made while it is
518
running, allowing it to be used in blackbox tests. (Robert Collins)
520
* New helper function for splitting test suites
521
``split_suite_by_condition``. (Robert Collins)
525
* ``Branch.missing_revisions`` has been deprecated. Similar functionality
526
can be obtained using ``bzrlib.missing.find_unmerged``. The api was
527
fairly broken, and the function was unused, so we are getting rid of it.
532
* ``Branch.abspath`` is deprecated; use the Tree or Transport
533
instead. (Martin Pool)
535
* ``Branch.update_revisions`` now takes an optional ``Graph``
536
object. This can be used by ``update_revisions`` when it is
537
checking ancestry, and allows callers to prefer request to go to a
538
local branch. (John Arbash Meinel)
540
* Branch, Repository, Tree and BzrDir should expose a Transport as an
541
attribute if they have one, rather than having it indirectly accessible
542
as ``.control_files._transport``. This doesn't add a requirement
543
to support a Transport in cases where it was not needed before;
544
it just simplifies the way it is reached. (Martin Pool)
546
* ``bzr missing --mine-only`` will return status code 0 if you have no
547
new revisions, but the remote does. Similarly for ``--theirs-only``.
548
The new code only checks one side, so it doesn't know if the other
549
side has changes. This seems more accurate with the request anyway.
550
It also changes the output to print '[This|Other] branch is up to
551
date.' rather than displaying nothing. (John Arbash Meinel)
553
* ``LockableFiles.put_utf8``, ``put_bytes`` and ``controlfilename``
554
are now deprecated in favor of using Transport operations.
557
* Many methods on ``VersionedFile``, ``Repository`` and in
558
``bzrlib.revision`` deprecated before bzrlib 1.5 have been removed.
561
* ``RevisionSpec.wants_revision_history`` can be set to False for a given
562
``RevisionSpec``. This will disable the existing behavior of passing in
563
the full revision history to ``self._match_on``. Useful for specs that
564
don't actually need access to the full history. (John Arbash Meinel)
566
* The constructors of ``SmartClientMedium`` and its subclasses now require a
567
``base`` parameter. ``SmartClientMedium`` implementations now also need
568
to provide a ``remote_path_from_transport`` method. (Andrew Bennetts)
570
* The default permissions for creating new files and directories
571
should now be obtained from ``BzrDir._get_file_mode()`` and
572
``_get_dir_mode()``, rather than from LockableFiles. The ``_set_file_mode``
573
and ``_set_dir_mode`` variables on LockableFiles which were advertised
574
as a way for plugins to control this are no longer consulted.
577
* ``VersionedFile.join`` is deprecated. This method required local
578
instances of both versioned file objects and was thus hostile to being
579
used for streaming from a smart server. The new get_record_stream and
580
insert_record_stream are meant to efficiently replace this method.
583
* ``WorkingTree.set_parent_(ids/trees)`` will now filter out revisions
584
which are in the ancestry of other revisions. So if you merge the same
585
tree twice, or merge an ancestor of an existing merge, it will only
586
record the newest. (If you merge a descendent, it will replace its
587
ancestor). (John Arbash Meinel, #235407)
589
* ``WorkingTreeFormat2.stub_initialize_remote`` is now private.
596
This release of Bazaar includes several updates to the documentation, and fixes
597
to prepare for making rich root support the default format. Many bugs have been
598
squashed, including fixes to log, bzr+ssh inter-operation with older servers.
602
* Suppress deprecation warnings when bzrlib is a 'final' release. This way
603
users of packaged software won't be bothered with DeprecationWarnings,
604
but developers and testers will still see them. (John Arbash Meinel)
608
* Incorporate feedback from Jelmer Vernooij and Neil Martinsen-Burrell
609
on the plugin and integration chapters of the User Guide.
613
bzr 1.5rc1 2008-05-09
614
---------------------
616
NOTES WHEN UPGRADING:
620
* Broader support of GNU Emacs mail clients. Set
621
``mail_client=emacsclient`` in your bazaar.conf and ``send`` will pop the
622
bundle in a mail buffer according to the value of ``mail-user-agent``
623
variable. (Xavier Maillard)
629
* Diff now handles revision specs like "branch:" and "submit:" more
630
efficiently. (Aaron Bentley, #202928)
632
* More friendly error given when attempt to start the smart server
633
on an address already in use. (Andrea Corbellini, #200575)
635
* Pull completes much faster when there is nothing to pull.
640
* Authentication.conf can define sections without password.
641
(Vincent Ladeuil, #199440)
643
* Avoid muttering every time a child update does not cause a progress bar
644
update. (John Arbash Meinel, #213771)
646
* ``Branch.reconcile()`` is now implemented. This allows ``bzr reconcile``
647
to fix when a Branch has a non-canonical mainline history. ``bzr check``
648
also detects this condition. (John Arbash Meinel, #177855)
650
* ``bzr log -r ..X bzr://`` was failing, because it was getting a request
651
for ``revision_id=None`` which was not a string.
652
(John Arbash Meinel, #211661)
654
* ``bzr commit`` now works with Microsoft's FTP service.
657
* Catch definitions outside sections in authentication.conf.
658
(Vincent Ladeuil, #217650)
660
* Conversion from non-rich-root to rich-root(-pack) updates inventory
661
sha1s, even when bundles are used. (Aaron Bentley, #181391)
663
* Conversion from non-rich-root to rich-root(-pack) works correctly even
664
though search keys are not topologically sorted. (Aaron Bentley)
666
* Conversion from non-rich-root to rich-root(-pack) works even when a
667
parent revision has a different root id. (Aaron Bentley, #177874)
669
* Disable strace testing until strace is fixed (see bug #103133) and emit a
670
warning when selftest ends to remind us of leaking tests.
671
(Vincent Ladeuil, #226769)
673
* Fetching all revisions from a repository does not cause pack collisions.
674
(Robert Collins, Aaron Bentley, #212908)
676
* Fix error about "attempt to add line-delta in non-delta knit".
677
(Andrew Bennetts, #217701)
679
* Pushing a branch in "dirstate" format (Branch5) over bzr+ssh would break
680
if the remote server was < version 1.2. This was due to a bug in the
681
RemoteRepository.get_parent_map() fallback code.
682
(John Arbash Meinel, #214894)
684
* Remove leftover code in ``bzr_branch`` that inappropriately creates
685
a ``branch-name`` file in the branch control directory.
688
* Set SO_REUSEADDR on server sockets of ``bzr serve`` to avoid problems
689
rebinding the socket when starting the server a second time.
690
(John Arbash Meinel, Martin Pool, #164288)
692
* Severe performance degradation in fetching from knit repositories to
693
knits and packs due to parsing the entire revisions.kndx on every graph
694
walk iteration fixed by using the Repository.get_graph API. There was
695
another regression in knit => knit fetching which re-read the index for
696
every revision each side had in common.
697
(Robert Collins, John Arbash Meinel)
699
* When logging the changes to a particular file, there was a bug if there
700
were ghosts in the revision ancestry. (John Arbash Meinel, #209948)
702
* xs4all's ftp server returns a temporary error when trying to list an
703
empty directory, rather than returning an empty list. Adding a
704
workaround so that we don't get spurious failures.
705
(John Arbash Meinel, #215522)
709
* Expanded the User Guide to include new chapters on popular plugins and
710
integrating Bazaar into your environment. The *Best practices* chapter
711
was renamed to *Miscellaneous topics* as suggested by community
712
feedback as well. (Ian Clatworthy)
714
* Document outlining strategies for TortoiseBzr. (Mark Hammond)
716
* Improved the documentation on hooks. (Ian Clatworthy)
718
* Update authentication docs regarding ssh agents.
719
(Vincent Ladeuil, #183705)
723
* Add ``thread_name_suffix`` parameter to SmartTCPServer_for_testing, to
724
make it easy to identify which test spawned a thread with an unhandled
725
exception. (Andrew Bennetts)
727
* New ``--debugflag``/``-E`` option to ``bzr selftest`` for setting
728
options for debugging tests, these are complementary to the the -D
729
options. The ``-Dselftest_debug`` global option has been replaced by the
730
``-E=allow_debug`` option for selftest. (Andrew Bennetts)
732
* Parameterised test ids are preserved correctly to aid diagnosis of test
733
failures. (Robert Collins, Andrew Bennetts)
735
* selftest now accepts --starting-with <id> to load only the tests whose id
736
starts with the one specified. This greatly speeds up running the test
737
suite on a limited set of tests and can be used to run the tests for a
738
single module, a single class or even a single test. (Vincent Ladeuil)
740
* The test suite modules have been modified to define load_tests() instead
741
of test_suite(). That speeds up selective loading (via --load-list)
742
significantly and provides many examples on how to migrate (grep for
743
load_tests). (Vincent Ladeuil)
747
* ``Hooks.install_hook`` is now deprecated in favour of
748
``Hooks.install_named_hook`` which adds a required ``name`` parameter, to
749
avoid having to call ``Hooks.name_hook``. (Daniel Watkins)
751
* Implement xml8 serializer. (Aaron Bentley)
753
* New form ``@deprecated_method(deprecated_in(1, 5, 0))`` for making
754
deprecation wrappers. (Martin Pool)
756
* ``Repository.revision_parents`` is now deprecated in favour of
757
``Repository.get_parent_map([revid])[revid]``. (Jelmer Vernooij)
759
* The Python ``assert`` statement is no longer used in Bazaar source, and
760
a test checks this. (Martin Pool)
764
* ``bzrlib.status.show_pending_merges`` requires the repository to be
765
locked by the caller. Callers should have been doing it anyway, but it
766
will now raise an exception if they do not. (John Arbash Meinel)
768
* Repository.get_data_stream, Repository.get_data_stream_for_search(),
769
Repository.get_deltas_for_revsions(), Repository.revision_trees(),
770
Repository.item_keys_introduced_by() no longer take read locks.
773
* ``LockableFiles.get_utf8`` and ``.get`` are deprecated, as a start
774
towards removing LockableFiles and ``.control_files`` entirely.
777
* Methods deprecated prior to 1.1 have been removed.
784
This release of Bazaar includes handy improvements to the speed of log and
785
status, new options for several commands, improved documentation, and better
786
hooks, including initial code for server-side hooks. A number of bugs have
787
been fixed, particularly in interoperability between different formats or
788
different releases of Bazaar over there network. There's been substantial
789
internal work in both the repository and network code to enable new features
790
and faster performance.
794
* Pushing a branch in "dirstate" format (Branch5) over bzr+ssh would break
795
if the remote server was < version 1.2. This was due to a bug in the
796
RemoteRepository.get_parent_map() fallback code.

800
bzr 1.4rc2 2008-04-21
801
---------------------
805
* ``bzr log -r ..X bzr://`` was failing, because it was getting a request
806
for ``revision_id=None`` which was not a string.
807
(John Arbash Meinel, #211661)
809
* Fixed a bug in handling ghost revisions when logging changes in a
810
particular file. (John Arbash Meinel, #209948)
812
* Fix error about "attempt to add line-delta in non-delta knit".
813
(Andrew Bennetts, #205156)
815
* Fixed performance degradation in fetching from knit repositories to
816
knits and packs due to parsing the entire revisions.kndx on every graph
817
walk iteration fixed by using the Repository.get_graph API. There was
818
another regression in knit => knit fetching which re-read the index for
819
every revision each side had in common.
820
(Robert Collins, John Arbash Meinel)
823
bzr 1.4rc1 2008-04-11
824
---------------------
828
* bzr main script cannot be imported (Benjamin Peterson)
830
* On Linux bzr additionally looks for plugins in arch-independent site
831
directory. (Toshio Kuratomi)
833
* The ``set_rh`` branch hook is now deprecated. Please migrate
834
any plugins using this hook to use an alternative, e.g.
835
``post_change_branch_tip``. (Ian Clatworthy)
837
* When a plugin cannot be loaded as the file path is not a valid
838
python module name bzr will now strip a ``bzr_`` prefix from the
839
front of the suggested name, as many plugins (e.g. bzr-svn)
840
want to be installed without this prefix. It is a common mistake
841
to have a folder named "bzr-svn" for that plugin, especially
842
as this is what bzr branch lp:bzr-svn will give you. (James Westby,
845
* UniqueIntegerBugTracker now appends bug-ids instead of joining
846
them to the base URL. Plugins that register bug trackers may
847
need a trailing / added to the base URL if one is not already there.
848
(James Wesby, Andrew Cowie)
852
* Added start_commit hook for mutable trees. (Jelmer Vernooij, #186422)
854
* ``status`` now accepts ``--no-pending`` to show the status without
855
listing pending merges, which speeds up the command a lot on large
856
histories. (James Westby, #202830)
858
* New ``post_change_branch_tip`` hook that is called after the
859
branch tip is moved but while the branch is still write-locked.
860
See the User Reference for signature details.
861
(Ian Clatworthy, James Henstridge)
863
* Reconfigure can convert a branch to be standalone or to use a shared
864
repository. (Aaron Bentley)
868
* The smart protocol now has support for setting branches' revision info
869
directly. This should make operations like push slightly faster, and is a
870
step towards server-side hooks. The new request method name is
871
``Branch.set_last_revision_info``. (Andrew Bennetts)
873
* ``bzr commit --fixes`` now recognises "gnome" as a tag by default.
874
(James Westby, Andrew Cowie)
876
* ``bzr switch`` will attempt to find branches to switch to relative to the
877
current branch. E.g. ``bzr switch branchname`` will look for
878
``current_branch/../branchname``. (Robert Collins, Jelmer Vernooij,
881
* Diff is now more specific about execute-bit changes it describes
884
* Fetching data over HTTP is a bit faster when urllib is used. This is done
885
by forcing it to recv 64k at a time when reading lines in HTTP headers,
886
rather than just 1 byte at a time. (Andrew Bennetts)
888
* Log --short and --line are much faster when -r is not specified.
891
* Merge is faster. We no longer check a file's existence unnecessarily
892
when merging the execute bit. (Aaron Bentley)
894
* ``bzr status`` on an explicit list of files no longer shows pending
895
merges, making it much faster on large trees. (John Arbash Meinel)
897
* The launchpad directory service now warns the user if they have not set
898
their launchpad login and are trying to resolve a URL using it, just
899
in case they want to do a write operation with it. (James Westby)
901
* The smart protocol client is slightly faster, because it now only queries
902
the server for the protocol version once per connection. Also, the HTTP
903
transport will now automatically probe for and use a smart server if
904
one is present. You can use the new ``nosmart+`` transport decorator
905
to get the old behaviour. (Andrew Bennetts)
907
* The ``version`` command takes a ``--short`` option to print just the
908
version number, for easier use in scripts. (Martin Pool)
910
* Various operations with revision specs and commands that calculate
911
revnos and revision ids are faster. (John A. Meinel, Aaron Bentley)
915
* Add ``root_client_path`` parameter to SmartWSGIApp and
916
SmartServerRequest. This makes it possible to publish filesystem
917
locations that don't exactly match URL paths. SmartServerRequest
918
subclasses should use the new ``translate_client_path`` and
919
``transport_from_client_path`` methods when dealing with paths received
920
from a client to take this into account. (Andrew Bennetts, #124089)
922
* ``bzr mv a b`` can be now used also to rename previously renamed
923
directories, not only files. (Lukáš Lalinský, #107967)
925
* ``bzr uncommit --local`` can now remove revisions from the local
926
branch to be symmetric with ``bzr commit --local``.
927
(John Arbash Meinel, #93412)
929
* Don't ask for a password if there is no real terminal.
930
(Alexander Belchenko, #69851)
932
* Fix a bug causing a ValueError crash in ``parse_line_delta_iter`` when
933
fetching revisions from a knit to pack repository or vice versa using
934
bzr:// (including over http or ssh).
935
(#208418, Andrew Bennetts, Martin Pool, Robert Collins)
937
* Fixed ``_get_line`` in ``bzrlib.smart.medium``, which was buggy. Also
938
fixed ``_get_bytes`` in the same module to use the push back buffer.
939
These bugs had no known impact in normal use, but were problematic for
940
developers working on the code, and were likely to cause real bugs sooner
941
or later. (Andrew Bennetts)
943
* Implement handling of basename parameter for DefaultMail. (James Westby)
945
* Incompatibility with Paramiko versions newer than 1.7.2 was fixed.
946
(Andrew Bennetts, #213425)
948
* Launchpad locations (lp: URLs) can be pulled. (Aaron Bentley, #181945)
950
* Merges that add files to deleted root directories complete. They
951
do create conflicts. (Aaron Bentley, #210092)
953
* vsftp's return ``550 RNFR command failed.`` supported.
954
(Marcus Trautwig, #129786)
958
* Improved documentation on send/merge relationship. (Peter Schuller)
960
* Minor fixes to the User Guide. (Matthew Fuller)
962
* Reduced the evangelism in the User Guide. (Ian Clatworthy)
964
* Added Integrating with Bazaar document for developers (Martin Albisetti)
968
* Attempting to pull data from a ghost aware repository (e.g. knits) into a
969
non-ghost aware repository such as weaves will now fail if there are
970
ghosts. (Robert Collins)
972
* ``KnitVersionedFile`` no longer accepts an ``access_mode`` parameter, and
973
now requires the ``index`` and ``access_method`` parameters to be
974
supplied. A compatible shim has been kept in the new function
975
``knit.make_file_knit``. (Robert Collins)
977
* Log formatters must now provide log_revision instead of show and
978
show_merge_revno methods. The latter had been deprecated since the 0.17
979
release. (James Westby)
981
* ``LoopbackSFTP`` is now called ``SocketAsChannelAdapter``.
984
* ``osutils.backup_file`` is removed. (Alexander Belchenko)
986
* ``Repository.get_revision_graph`` is deprecated, with no replacement
987
method. The method was size(history) and not desirable. (Robert Collins)
989
* ``revision.revision_graph`` is deprecated, with no replacement function.
990
The function was size(history) and not desirable. (Robert Collins)
992
* ``Transport.get_shared_medium`` is deprecated. Use
993
``Transport.get_smart_medium`` instead. (Andrew Bennetts)
995
* ``VersionedFile`` factories now accept a get_scope parameter rather
996
than using a call to ``transaction_finished``, allowing the removal of
997
the fixed list of versioned files per repository. (Robert Collins)
999
* ``VersionedFile.annotate_iter`` is deprecated. While in principle this
1000
allowed lower memory use, all users of annotations wanted full file
1001
annotations, and there is no storage format suitable for incremental
1002
line-by-line annotation. (Robert Collins)
1004
* ``VersionedFile.clone_text`` is deprecated. This performance optimisation
1005
is no longer used - reading the content of a file that is undergoing a
1006
file level merge to identical state on two branches is rare enough, and
1007
not expensive enough to special case. (Robert Collins)
1009
* ``VersionedFile.clear_cache`` and ``enable_cache`` are deprecated.
1010
These methods added significant complexity to the ``VersionedFile``
1011
implementation, but were only used for optimising fetches from knits -
1012
which can be done from outside the knit layer, or via a caching
1013
decorator. As knits are not the default format, the complexity is no
1014
longer worth paying. (Robert Collins)
1016
* ``VersionedFile.create_empty`` is removed. This method presupposed a
1017
sensible mapping to a transport for individual files, but pack backed
1018
versioned files have no such mapping. (Robert Collins)
1020
* ``VersionedFile.get_graph`` is deprecated, with no replacement method.
1021
The method was size(history) and not desirable. (Robert Collins)
1023
* ``VersionedFile.get_graph_with_ghosts`` is deprecated, with no
1024
replacement method. The method was size(history) and not desirable.
1027
* ``VersionedFile.get_parents`` is deprecated, please use
1028
``VersionedFile.get_parent_map``. (Robert Collins)
1030
* ``VersionedFile.get_sha1`` is deprecated, please use
1031
``VersionedFile.get_sha1s``. (Robert Collins)
1033
* ``VersionedFile.has_ghost`` is now deprecated, as it is both expensive
1034
and unused outside of a single test. (Robert Collins)
1036
* ``VersionedFile.iter_parents`` is now deprecated in favour of
1037
``get_parent_map`` which can be used to instantiate a Graph on a
1038
VersionedFile. (Robert Collins)
1040
* ``VersionedFileStore`` no longer uses the transaction parameter given
1041
to most methods; amongst other things this means that the
1042
get_weave_or_empty method no longer guarantees errors on a missing weave
1043
in a readonly transaction, and no longer caches versioned file instances
1044
which reduces memory pressure (but requires more careful management by
1045
callers to preserve performance). (Robert Collins)
1049
* New -Dselftest_debug flag disables clearing of the debug flags during
1050
tests. This is useful if you want to use e.g. -Dhpss to help debug a
1051
failing test. Be aware that using this feature is likely to cause
1052
spurious test failures if used with the full suite. (Andrew Bennetts)
1054
* selftest --load-list now uses a new more agressive test loader that will
1055
avoid loading unneeded modules and building their tests. Plugins can use
1056
this new loader by defining a load_tests function instead of a test_suite
1057
function. (a forthcoming patch will provide many examples on how to
1061
* selftest --load-list now does some sanity checks regarding duplicate test
1062
IDs and tests present in the list but not found in the actual test suite.
1065
* Slightly more concise format for the selftest progress bar, so there's
1066
more space to show the test name. (Martin Pool) ::
1068
[2500/10884, 1fail, 3miss in 1m29s] test_revisionnamespaces.TestRev
1070
* The test suite takes much less memory to run, and is a bit faster. This
1071
is done by clearing most attributes of TestCases after running them, if
1072
they succeeded. (Andrew Bennetts)
1076
* Added ``_build_client_protocol`` to ``_SmartClient``. (Andrew Bennetts)
1078
* Added basic infrastructure for automatic plugin suggestion.
1081
* If a ``LockableFiles`` object is not explicitly unlocked (for example
1082
because of a missing ``try/finally`` block, it will give a warning but
1083
not automatically unlock itself. (Previously they did.) This
1084
sometimes caused knock-on errors if for example the network connection
1085
had already failed, and should not be relied upon by code.
1086
(Martin Pool, #109520)
1088
* ``make dist`` target to build a release tarball, and also
1089
``check-dist-tarball`` and ``dist-upload-escudero``. (Martin Pool)
1091
* The ``read_response_tuple`` method of ``SmartClientRequestProtocol*``
1092
classes will now raise ``UnknownSmartMethod`` when appropriate, so that
1093
callers don't need to try distinguish unknown request errors from other
1094
errors. (Andrew Bennetts)
1096
* ``set_make_working_trees`` is now implemented provided on all repository
1097
implementations (Aaron Bentley)
1099
* ``VersionedFile`` now has a new method ``get_parent_map`` which, like
1100
``Graph.get_parent_map`` returns a dict of key:parents. (Robert Collins)

No changes from 1.3.1rc1.
1109
bzr 1.3rc1 2008-04-04

bzr:// (including over http or ssh).
1117
(#208418, Andrew Bennetts, Martin Pool, Robert Collins)
1123
Bazaar has become part of the GNU project <http://www.gnu.org>
1125
Many operations that act on history, including ``log`` and ``annotate`` are now
1126
substantially faster. Several bugs have been fixed and several new options and
1127
features have been added.

bzr 1.3rc1 2008-03-16
1137
---------------------
1139
NOTES WHEN UPGRADING:
1141
* The backup directory created by ``upgrade`` is now called
1142
``backup.bzr``, not ``.bzr.backup``. (Martin Albisetti)
1146
* A new repository format 'development' has been added. This format will
1147
represent the latest 'in-progress' format that the bzr developers are
1148
interested in getting early-adopter testing and feedback on.
1149
``doc/developers/development-repo.txt`` has detailed information.
1152
* BZR_LOG environment variable controls location of .bzr.log trace file.
1153
User can suppress writing messages to .bzr.log by using '/dev/null'
1154
filename (on Linux) or 'NUL' (on Windows). If BZR_LOG variable
1155
is not defined but BZR_HOME is defined then default location
1156
for .bzr.log trace file is ``$BZR_HOME/.bzr.log``.
1157
(Alexander Belchenko)
1159
* ``launchpad`` builtin plugin now shipped as separate part in standalone
1160
bzr.exe, installed to ``C:\Program Files\Bazaar\plugins`` directory,
1161
and standalone installer allows user to skip installation of this plugin.
1162
(Alexander Belchenko)
1164
* Restore auto-detection of plink.exe on Windows. (Dmitry Vasiliev)
1166
* Version number is now shown as "1.2" or "1.2pr2", without zeroed or
1167
missing final fields. (Martin Pool)
1171
* ``branch`` and ``checkout`` can hard-link working tree files, which is
1172
faster and saves space. (Aaron Bentley)
1174
* ``bzr send`` will now also look at the ``child_submit_to`` setting in
1175
the submit branch to determine the email address to send to.
1180
* BzrBranch._lefthand_history is faster on pack repos. (Aaron Bentley)
1182
* Branch6.generate_revision_history is faster. (Aaron Bentley)
1184
* Directory services can now be registered, allowing special URLs to be
1185
dereferenced into real URLs. This is a generalization and cleanup of
1186
the lp: transport lookup. (Aaron Bentley)
1188
* Merge directives that are automatically attached to emails have nicer
1189
filenames, based on branch-nick + revno. (Aaron Bentley)
1191
* ``push`` has a ``--revision`` option, to specify what revision to push up
1192
to. (Daniel Watkins)
1194
* Significantly reducing execution time and network traffic for trivial
1195
case of running ``bzr missing`` command for two identical branches.
1196
(Alexander Belchenko)
1198
* Speed up operations that look at the revision graph (such as 'bzr log').
1199
``KnitPackRepositor.get_revision_graph`` uses ``Graph.iter_ancestry`` to
1200
extract the revision history. This allows filtering ghosts while
1201
stepping instead of needing to peek ahead. (John Arbash Meinel)
1203
* The ``hooks`` command lists installed hooks, to assist in debugging.
1206
* Updates to how ``annotate`` work. Should see a measurable improvement in
1207
performance and memory consumption for file with a lot of merges.
1208
Also, correctly handle when a line is introduced by both parents (it
1209
should be attributed to the first merge which notices this, and not
1210
to all subsequent merges.) (John Arbash Meinel)
1214
* Autopacking no longer holds the full set of inventory lines in
1215
memory while copying. For large repositories, this can amount to
1216
hundreds of MB of ram consumption.
1217
(Ian Clatworthy, John Arbash Meinel)
1219
* Cherrypicking when using ``--format=merge3`` now explictly excludes
1220
BASE lines. (John Arbash Meinel, #151731)
1222
* Disable plink's interactive prompt for password.
1223
(#107593, Dmitry Vasiliev)
1225
* Encode command line arguments from unicode to user_encoding before
1226
invoking external mail client in `bzr send` command.
1227
(#139318, Alexander Belchenko)
1229
* Fixed problem connecting to ``bzr+https://`` servers.
1230
(#198793, John Ferlito)
1232
* Improved error reporting in the Launchpad plugin. (Daniel Watkins,
1235
* Include quick-start-summary.svg file to python-based installer(s)
1236
for Windows. (#192924, Alexander Belchenko)
1238
* lca merge now respects specified files. (Aaron Bentley)
1240
* Make version-info --custom imply --all. (#195560, James Westby)
1242
* ``merge --preview`` now works for merges that add or modify
1243
symlinks (James Henstridge)
1245
* Redirecting the output from ``bzr merge`` (when the remembered
1246
location is used) now works. (John Arbash Meinel)
1248
* setup.py script explicitly checks for Python version.
1249
(Jari Aalto, Alexander Belchenko, #200569)
1251
* UnknownFormatErrors no longer refer to branches regardless of kind of
1252
unknown format. (Daniel Watkins, #173980)
1254
* Upgrade bundled ConfigObj to version 4.5.2, which properly quotes #
1255
signs, among other small improvements. (Matt Nordhoff, #86838)
1257
* Use correct indices when emitting LCA conflicts. This fixes IndexError
1258
errors. (Aaron Bentley, #196780)
1262
* Explained how to use ``version-info --custom`` in the User Guide.
1263
(Neil Martinsen-Burrell)
1267
* Support for loading plugins from zip files and
1268
``bzrlib.plugin.load_from_zip()`` function are deprecated.
1269
(Alexander Belchenko)
1273
* Added missing blackbox tests for ``modified`` (Adrian Wilkins)
1275
* The branch interface tests were invalid for branches using rich-root
1276
repositories because the empty string is not a valid file-id.
1281
* ``Graph.iter_ancestry`` returns the ancestry of revision ids. Similar to
1282
``Repository.get_revision_graph()`` except it includes ghosts and you can
1283
stop part-way through. (John Arbash Meinel)
1285
* New module ``tools/package_mf.py`` provide custom module finder for
1286
python packages (improves standard python library's modulefinder.py)
1287
used by ``setup.py`` script while building standalone bzr.exe.
1288
(Alexander Belchenko)
1290
* New remote method ``RemoteBzrDir.find_repositoryV2`` adding support for
1291
detecting external lookup support on remote repositories. This method is
1292
now attempted first when lookup up repositories, leading to an extra
1293
round trip on older bzr smart servers. (Robert Collins)
1295
* Repository formats have a new supported-feature attribute
1296
``supports_external_lookups`` used to indicate repositories which support
1297
falling back to other repositories when they have partial data.
1300
* ``Repository.get_revision_graph_with_ghosts`` and
1301
``bzrlib.revision.(common_ancestor,MultipleRevisionSources,common_graph)``
1302
have been deprecated. (John Arbash Meinel)
1304
* ``Tree.iter_changes`` is now a public API, replacing the work-in-progress
1305
``Tree._iter_changes``. The api is now considered stable and ready for
1306
external users. (Aaron Bentley)
1308
* The bzrdir format registry now accepts an ``alias`` keyword to
1309
register_metadir, used to indicate that a format name is an alias for
1310
some other format and thus should not be reported when describing the
1311
format. (Robert Collins)
1319
* Fix failing test in Launchpad plugin. (Martin Pool)
1322
bzr 1.2rc1 2008-02-13
1323
---------------------
1325
NOTES WHEN UPGRADING:
1327
* Fetching via the smart protocol may need to reconnect once during a fetch
1328
if the remote server is running Bazaar 1.1 or earlier, because the client
1329
attempts to use more efficient requests that confuse older servers. You
1330
may be required to re-enter a password or passphrase when this happens.
1331
This won't happen if the server is upgraded to Bazaar 1.2.
1336
* Fetching via bzr+ssh will no longer fill ghosts by default (this is
1337
consistent with pack-0.92 fetching over SFTP). (Robert Collins)
1339
* Formatting of ``bzr plugins`` output is changed to be more human-
1340
friendly. Full path of plugins locations will be shown only with
1341
``--verbose`` command-line option. (Alexander Belchenko)
1343
* ``merge`` now prefers to use the submit branch, but will fall back to
1344
parent branch. For many users, this has no effect. But some users who
1345
pull and merge on the same branch will notice a change. This change
1346
makes it easier to work on a branch on two different machines, pulling
1347
between the machines, while merging from the upstream.
1348
``merge --remember`` can now be used to set the submit_branch.
1353
* ``merge --preview`` produces a diff of the changes merge would make,
1354
but does not actually perform the merge. (Aaron Bentley)
1356
* New smart method ``Repository.get_parent_map`` for getting revision
1357
parent data. This returns additional parent information topologically
1358
adjacent to the requested data to reduce round trip latency impacts.
1361
* New smart method, ``Repository.stream_revisions_chunked``, for fetching
1362
revision data that streams revision data via a chunked encoding. This
1363
avoids buffering large amounts of revision data on the server and on the
1364
client, and sends less data to the server to request the revisions.
1365
(Andrew Bennetts, Robert Collins, #178353)
1367
* The launchpad plugin now handles lp urls of the form
1368
``lp://staging/``, ``lp://demo/``, ``lp://dev/`` to use the appropriate
1369
launchpad instance to do the resolution of the branch identities.
1370
This is primarily of use to Launchpad developers, but can also
1371
be used by other users who want to try out Launchpad as
1372
a branch location without messing up their public Launchpad
1373
account. Branches that are pushed to the staging environment
1374
have an expected lifetime of one day. (Tim Penhey)
1378
* Creating a new branch no longer tries to read the entire revision-history
1379
unnecessarily over smart server operations. (Robert Collins)
1381
* Fetching between different repository formats with compatible models now
1382
takes advantage of the smart method to stream revisions. (Andrew Bennetts)
1384
* The ``--coverage`` option is now global, rather specific to ``bzr
1385
selftest``. (Andrew Bennetts)
1387
* The ``register-branch`` command will now use the public url of the branch
1388
containing the current directory, if one has been set and no explicit
1389
branch is provided. (Robert Collins)
1391
* Tweak the ``reannotate`` code path to optimize the 2-parent case.
1392
Speeds up ``bzr annotate`` with a pack repository by approx 3:2.
1393
(John Arbash Meinel)
1397
* Calculate remote path relative to the shared medium in _SmartClient. This
1398
is related to the problem in bug #124089. (Andrew Bennetts)
1400
* Cleanly handle connection errors in smart protocol version two, the same
1401
way as they are handled by version one. (Andrew Bennetts)
1403
* Clearer error when ``version-info --custom`` is used without
1404
``--template`` (Lukáš Lalinský)
1406
* Don't raise UnavailableFeature during test setup when medusa is not
1407
available or tearDown is never called leading to nasty side effects.
1408
(#137823, Vincent Ladeuil)
1410
* If a plugin's test suite cannot be loaded, for example because of a syntax
1411
error in the tests, then ``selftest`` fails, rather than just printing
1412
a warning. (Martin Pool, #189771)
1414
* List possible values for BZR_SSH environment variable in env-variables
1415
help topic. (Alexander Belchenko, #181842)
1417
* New methods ``push_log_file`` and ``pop_log_file`` to intercept messages:
1418
popping the log redirection now precisely restores the previous state,
1419
which makes it easier to use bzr log output from other programs.
1420
TestCaseInTempDir no longer depends on a log redirection being established
1421
by the test framework, which lets bzr tests cleanly run from a normal
1423
(#124153, #124849, Martin Pool, Jonathan Lange)
1425
* ``pull --quiet`` is now more quiet, in particular a message is no longer
1426
printed when the remembered pull location is used. (James Westby,
1429
* ``reconfigure`` can safely be interrupted while fetching.
1430
(Aaron Bentley, #179316)
1432
* ``reconfigure`` preserves tags when converting to and from lightweight
1433
checkouts. (Aaron Bentley, #182040)
1435
* Stop polluting /tmp when running selftest.
1436
(Vincent Ladeuil, #123623)
1438
* Switch from NFKC => NFC for normalization checks. NFC allows a few
1439
more characters which should be considered valid.
1440
(John Arbash Meinel, #185458)
1442
* The launchpad plugin now uses the ``edge`` xmlrpc server to avoid
1443
interacting badly with a bug on the launchpad side. (Robert Collins)
1445
* Unknown hostnames when connecting to a ``bzr://`` URL no longer cause
1446
tracebacks. (Andrew Bennetts, #182849)
1450
* Classes implementing Merge types like Merge3Merger must now accept (and
1451
honour) a do_merge flag in their constructor. (Aaron Bentley)
1453
* ``Repository.add_inventory`` and ``add_revision`` now require the caller
1454
to previously take a write lock (and start a write group.)
1459
* selftest now accepts --load-list <file> to load a test id list. This
1460
speeds up running the test suite on a limited set of tests.
1465
* Add a new method ``get_result`` to graph search objects. The resulting
1466
``SearchResult`` can be used to recreate the search later, which will
1467
be useful in reducing network traffic. (Robert Collins)
1469
* Use convenience function to check whether two repository handles
1470
are referring to the same repository in ``Repository.get_graph``.
1471
(Jelmer Vernooij, #187162)
1473
* Fetching now passes the find_ghosts flag through to the
1474
``InterRepository.missing_revision_ids`` call consistently for all
1475
repository types. This will enable faster missing revision discovery with
1476
bzr+ssh. (Robert Collins)
1478
* Fix error handling in Repository.insert_data_stream. (Lukas Lalinsky)
1480
* ``InterRepository.missing_revision_ids`` is now deprecated in favour of
1481
``InterRepository.search_missing_revision_ids`` which returns a
1482
``bzrlib.graph.SearchResult`` suitable for making requests from the smart
1483
server. (Robert Collins)
1485
* New error ``NoPublicBranch`` for commands that need a public branch to
1486
operate. (Robert Collins)
1488
* New method ``iter_inventories`` on Repository for access to many
1489
inventories. This is primarily used by the ``revision_trees`` method, as
1490
direct access to inventories is discouraged. (Robert Collins)
1492
* New method ``next_with_ghosts`` on the Graph breadth-first-search objects
1493
which will split out ghosts and present parents into two separate sets,
1494
useful for code which needs to be aware of ghosts (e.g. fetching data
1495
cares about ghosts during revision selection). (Robert Collins)
1497
* Record a timestamp against each mutter to the trace file, relative to the
1498
first import of bzrlib. (Andrew Bennetts)
1500
* ``Repository.get_data_stream`` is now deprecated in favour of
1501
``Repository.get_data_stream_for_search`` which allows less network
1502
traffic when requesting data streams over a smart server. (Robert Collins)
1504
* ``RemoteBzrDir._get_tree_branch`` no longer triggers ``_ensure_real``,
1505
removing one round trip on many network operations. (Robert Collins)
1507
* RemoteTransport's ``recommended_page_size`` method now returns 64k, like
1508
SFTPTransport and HttpTransportBase. (Andrew Bennetts)
1510
* Repository has a new method ``has_revisions`` which signals the presence
1511
of many revisions by returning a set of the revisions listed which are
1512
present. This can be done by index queries without reading data for parent
1513
revision names etc. (Robert Collins)
1519
(no changes from 1.1rc1)
1521
bzr 1.1rc1 2008-01-05
1522
---------------------
1526
* Dotted revision numbers have been revised. Instead of growing longer with
1527
nested branches the branch number just increases. (eg instead of 1.1.1.1.1
1528
we now report 1.2.1.) This helps scale long lived branches which have many
1529
feature branches merged between them. (John Arbash Meinel)
1531
* The syntax ``bzr diff branch1 branch2`` is no longer supported.
1532
Use ``bzr diff branch1 --new branch2`` instead. This change has
1533
been made to remove the ambiguity where ``branch2`` is in fact a
1534
specific file to diff within ``branch1``.
1538
* New option to use custom template-based formats in ``bzr version-info``.
1541
* diff '--using' allows an external diff tool to be used for files.
1544
* New "lca" merge-type for fast everyday merging that also supports
1545
criss-cross merges. (Aaron Bentley)
1549
* ``annotate`` now doesn't require a working tree. (Lukáš Lalinský,
1552
* ``branch`` and ``checkout`` can now use files from a working tree to
1553
to speed up the process. For checkout, this requires the new
1554
--files-from flag. (Aaron Bentley)
1556
* ``bzr diff`` now sorts files in alphabetical order. (Aaron Bentley)
1558
* ``bzr diff`` now works on branches without working trees. Tree-less
1559
branches can also be compared to each other and to working trees using
1560
the new diff options ``--old`` and ``--new``. Diffing between branches,
1561
with or without trees, now supports specific file filtering as well.
1562
(Ian Clatworthy, #6700)
1564
* ``bzr pack`` now orders revision texts in topological order, with newest
1565
at the start of the file, promoting linear reads for ``bzr log`` and the
1566
like. This partially fixes #154129. (Robert Collins)
1568
* Merge directives now fetch prerequisites from the target branch if
1569
needed. (Aaron Bentley)
1571
* pycurl now handles digest authentication.
1574
* ``reconfigure`` can now convert from repositories. (Aaron Bentley)
1576
* ``-l`` is now a short form for ``--limit`` in ``log``. (Matt Nordhoff)
1578
* ``merge`` now warns when merge directives cause cherrypicks.
1581
* ``split`` now supported, to enable splitting large trees into smaller
1582
pieces. (Aaron Bentley)
1586
* Avoid AttributeError when unlocking a pack repository when an error occurs.
1587
(Martin Pool, #180208)
1589
* Better handle short reads when processing multiple range requests.
1590
(Vincent Ladeuil, #179368)
1592
* build_tree acceleration uses the correct path when a file has been moved.
1595
* ``commit`` now succeeds when a checkout and its master branch share a
1596
repository. (Aaron Bentley, #177592)
1598
* Fixed error reporting of unsupported timezone format in
1599
``log --timezone``. (Lukáš Lalinský, #178722)
1601
* Fixed Unicode encoding error in ``ignored`` when the output is
1602
redirected to a pipe. (Lukáš Lalinský)
1604
* Fix traceback when sending large response bodies over the smart protocol
1605
on Windows. (Andrew Bennetts, #115781)
1607
* Fix ``urlutils.relative_url`` for the case of two ``file:///`` URLs
1608
pointed to different logical drives on Windows.
1609
(Alexander Belchenko, #90847)
1611
* HTTP test servers are now compatible with the http protocol version 1.1.
1612
(Vincent Ladeuil, #175524)
1614
* _KnitParentsProvider.get_parent_map now handles requests for ghosts
1615
correctly, instead of erroring or attributing incorrect parents to ghosts.
1618
* ``merge --weave --uncommitted`` now works. (Aaron Bentley)
1620
* pycurl authentication handling was broken and incomplete. Fix handling of
1621
user:pass embedded in the urls.
1622
(Vincent Ladeuil, #177643)
1624
* Files inside non-directories are now handled like other conflict types.
1625
(Aaron Bentley, #177390)
1627
* ``reconfigure`` is able to convert trees into lightweight checkouts.
1630
* Reduce lockdir timeout to 0 when running ``bzr serve``. (Andrew Bennetts,
1633
* Test that the old ``version_info_format`` functions still work, even
1634
though they are deprecated. (John Arbash Meinel, ShenMaq, #177872)
1636
* Transform failures no longer cause ImmortalLimbo errors (Aaron Bentley,
1639
* ``uncommit`` works even when the commit messages of revisions to be
1640
removed use characters not supported in the terminal encoding.
1643
* When dumb http servers return whole files instead of the requested ranges,
1644
read the remaining bytes by chunks to avoid overflowing network buffers.
1645
(Vincent Ladeuil, #175886)
1649
* Minor tweaks made to the bug tracker integration documentation.
1652
* Reference material has now be moved out of the User Guide and added
1653
to the User Reference. The User Reference has gained 4 sections as
1654
a result: Authenication Settings, Configuration Settings, Conflicts
1655
and Hooks. All help topics are now dumped into text format in the
1656
doc/en/user-reference directory for those who like browsing that
1657
information in their editor. (Ian Clatworthy)
1659
* *Using Bazaar with Launchpad* tutorial added. (Ian Clatworthy)
1663
* find_* methods available for BzrDirs, Branches and WorkingTrees.
1666
* Help topics can now be loaded from files.
1667
(Ian Clatworthy, Alexander Belchenko)
1669
* get_parent_map now always provides tuples as its output. (Aaron Bentley)
1671
* Parent Providers should now implement ``get_parent_map`` returning a
1672
dictionary instead of ``get_parents`` returning a list.
1673
``Graph.get_parents`` is now deprecated. (John Arbash Meinel,
1676
* Patience Diff now supports arbitrary python objects, as long as they
1677
support ``hash()``. (John Arbash Meinel)
1679
* Reduce selftest overhead to establish test names by memoization.
1686
* Modules can now customise their tests by defining a ``load_tests``
1687
attribute. ``pydoc bzrlib.tests.TestUtil.TestLoader.loadTestsFromModule``
1688
for the documentation on this attribute. (Robert Collins)
1690
* New helper function ``bzrlib.tests.condition_id_re`` which helps
1691
filter tests based on a regular expression search on the tests id.
1694
* New helper function ``bzrlib.tests.condition_isinstance`` which helps
1695
filter tests based on class. (Robert Collins)
1697
* New helper function ``bzrlib.tests.exclude_suite_by_condition`` which
1698
generalises the ``exclude_suite_by_re`` function. (Robert Collins)
1700
* New helper function ``bzrlib.tests.filter_suite_by_condition`` which
1701
generalises the ``filter_suite_by_re`` function. (Robert Collins)
1703
* New helper method ``bzrlib.tests.exclude_tests_by_re`` which gives a new
1704
TestSuite that does not contain tests from the input that matched a
1705
regular expression. (Robert Collins)
1707
* New helper method ``bzrlib.tests.randomize_suite`` which returns a
1708
randomized copy of the input suite. (Robert Collins)
1710
* New helper method ``bzrlib.tests.split_suite_by_re`` which splits a test
1711
suite into two according to a regular expression. (Robert Collins)
1713
* Parametrize all http tests for the transport implementations, the http
1714
protocol versions (1.0 and 1.1) and the authentication schemes.
1717
* The ``exclude_pattern`` and ``random_order`` parameters to the function
1718
``bzrlib.tests.filter_suite_by_re`` have been deprecated. (Robert Collins)
1720
* The method ``bzrlib.tests.sort_suite_by_re`` has been deprecated. It is
1721
replaced by the new helper methods added in this release. (Robert Collins)
1729
* More improvements and fixes to the User Guide. (Ian Clatworthy)
1731
* Add information on cherrypicking/rebasing to the User Guide.
1734
* Improve bug tracker integration documentation. (Ian Clatworthy)
1736
* Minor edits to ``Bazaar in five minutes`` from David Roberts and
1737
to the rebasing section of the User Guide from Aaron Bentley.
1741
bzr 1.0rc3 2007-12-11
1742
---------------------
1746
* If a traceback occurs, users are now asked to report the bug
1747
through Launchpad (https://bugs.launchpad.net/bzr/), rather than
1748
by mail to the mailing list.
1753
* Fix Makefile rules for doc generation. (Ian Clatworthy, #175207)
1755
* Give more feedback during long http downloads by making readv deliver data
1756
as it arrives for urllib, and issue more requests for pycurl. High latency
1757
networks are better handled by urllib, the pycurl implementation give more
1758
feedback but also incur more latency.
1759
(Vincent Ladeuil, #173010)
1761
* Implement _make_parents_provider on RemoteRepository, allowing generating
1762
bundles against branches on a smart server. (Andrew Bennetts, #147836)
1766
* Improved user guide. (Ian Clatworthy)
1768
* The single-page quick reference guide is now available as a PDF.
1773
* readv urllib http implementation is now a real iterator above the
1774
underlying socket and deliver data as soon as it arrives. 'get' still
1775
wraps its output in a StringIO.
1779
bzr 1.0rc2 2007-12-07
1780
---------------------
1784
* Added a --coverage option to selftest. (Andrew Bennetts)
1786
* Annotate merge (merge-type=weave) now supports cherrypicking.
1789
* ``bzr commit`` now doesn't print the revision number twice. (Matt
1792
* New configuration option ``bugtracker_<tracker_abbrevation>_url`` to
1793
define locations of bug trackers that are not directly supported by
1794
bzr or a plugin. The URL will be treated as a template and ``{id}``
1795
placeholders will be replaced by specific bug IDs. (Lukáš Lalinský)
1797
* Support logging single merge revisions with short and line log formatters.
1800
* User Guide enhanced with suggested readability improvements from
1801
Matt Revell and corrections from John Arbash Meinel. (Ian Clatworthy)
1803
* Quick Start Guide renamed to Quick Start Card, moved down in
1804
the catalog, provided in pdf and png format and updated to refer
1805
to ``send`` instead of ``bundle``. (Ian Clatworthy, #165080)
1807
* ``switch`` can now be used on heavyweight checkouts as well as
1808
lightweight ones. After switching a heavyweight checkout, the
1809
local branch is a mirror/cache of the new bound branch and
1810
uncommitted changes in the working tree are merged. As a safety
1811
check, if there are local commits in a checkout which have not
1812
been committed to the previously bound branch, then ``switch``
1813
fails unless the ``--force`` option is given. This option is
1814
now also required if the branch a lightweight checkout is pointing
1815
to has been moved. (Ian Clatworthy)
1819
* New -Dhttp debug option reports http connections, requests and responses.
1822
* New -Dmerge debug option, which emits merge plans for merge-type=weave.
1826
* Better error message when running ``bzr cat`` on a non-existant branch.
1827
(Lukáš Lalinský, #133782)
1829
* Catch OSError 17 (file exists) in final phase of tree transform and show
1831
(Alexander Belchenko, #111758)
1833
* Catch ShortReadvErrors while using pycurl. Also make readv more robust by
1834
allowing multiple GET requests to be issued if too many ranges are
1836
(Vincent Ladeuil, #172701)
1838
* Check for missing basis texts when fetching from packs to packs.
1839
(John Arbash Meinel, #165290)
1841
* Fall back to showing e-mail in ``log --short/--line`` if the
1842
committer/author has only e-mail. (Lukáš Lalinský, #157026)
1846
* Deprecate not passing a ``location`` argument to commit reporters'
1847
``started`` methods. (Matt Nordhoff)

bzr 1.0rc1 2007-11-30
1851
---------------------
1853
NOTES WHEN UPGRADING:
1855
* The default repository format is now ``pack-0.92``. This
1856
default is used when creating new repositories with ``init`` and
1857
``init-repo``, and when branching over bzr+ssh or bzr+hpss.
1858
(See https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/164626)
1860
This format can be read and written by Bazaar 0.92 and later, and
1861
data can be transferred to and from older formats.
1863
To upgrade, please reconcile your repository (``bzr reconcile``), and then
1864
upgrade (``bzr upgrade``).
1866
``pack-0.92`` offers substantially better scaling and performance than the
1867
previous knits format. Some operations are slower where the code already
1868
had bad scaling characteristics under knits, the pack format makes such
1869
operations more visible as part of being more scalable overall. We will
1870
correct such operations over the coming releases and encourage the filing
1871
of bugs on any operation which you observe to be slower in a packs
1872
repository. One particular case that we do not intend to fix is pulling
1873
data from a pack repository into a knit repository over a high latency
1874
link; downgrading such data requires reinsertion of the file texts, and
1875
this is a classic space/time tradeoff. The current implementation is
1876
conservative on memory usage because we need to support converting data
1877
from any tree without problems.
1878
(Robert Collins, Martin Pool, #164476)
1882
* Disable detection of plink.exe as possible ssh vendor. Plink vendor
1883
still available if user selects it explicitly with BZR_SSH environment
1884
variable. (Alexander Belchenko, workaround for bug #107593)
1886
* The pack format is now accessible as "pack-0.92", or "pack-0.92-subtree"
1887
to enable the subtree functions (for example, for bzr-svn).
1888
See http://doc.bazaar-vcs.org/latest/developer/packrepo.html
1893
* New ``authentication.conf`` file holding the password or other credentials
1894
for remote servers. This can be used for ssh, sftp, smtp and other
1895
supported transports.
1898
* New rich-root and rich-root-pack formats, recording the same data about
1899
tree roots that's recorded for all other directories.
1900
(Aaron Bentley, #164639)
1902
* ``pack-0.92`` repositories can now be reconciled.
1903
(Robert Collins, #154173)
1905
* ``switch`` command added for changing the branch a lightweight checkout
1906
is associated with and updating the tree to reflect the latest content
1907
accordingly. This command was previously part of the BzrTools plug-in.
1908
(Ian Clatworthy, Aaron Bentley, David Allouche)
1910
* ``reconfigure`` command can now convert branches, trees, or checkouts to
1911
lightweight checkouts. (Aaron Bentley)
1915
* Commit updates the state of the working tree via a delta rather than
1916
supplying entirely new basis trees. For commit of a single specified file
1917
this reduces the wall clock time for commit by roughly a 30%.
1918
(Robert Collins, Martin Pool)
1920
* Commit with many automatically found deleted paths no longer performs
1921
linear scanning for the children of those paths during inventory
1922
iteration. This should fix commit performance blowing out when many such
1923
paths occur during commit. (Robert Collins, #156491)
1925
* Fetch with pack repositories will no longer read the entire history graph.
1926
(Robert Collins, #88319)
1928
* Revert takes out an appropriate lock when reverting to a basis tree, and
1929
does not read the basis inventory twice. (Robert Collins)
1931
* Diff does not require an inventory to be generated on dirstate trees.
1932
(Aaron Bentley, #149254)
1934
* New annotate merge (--merge-type=weave) implementation is fast on
1935
versionedfiles withough cached annotations, e.g. pack-0.92.
1940
* ``bzr merge`` now warns when it encounters a criss-cross merge.
1943
* ``bzr send`` now doesn't require the target e-mail address to be
1944
specified on the command line if an interactive e-mail client is used.
1947
* ``bzr tags`` now prints the revision number for each tag, instead of
1948
the revision id, unless --show-ids is passed. In addition, tags can be
1949
sorted chronologically instead of lexicographically with --sort=time.
1950
(Adeodato Simó, #120231)
1952
* Windows standalone version of bzr is able to load system-wide plugins from
1953
"plugins" subdirectory in installation directory. In addition standalone
1954
installer write to the registry (HKLM\SOFTWARE\Bazaar) useful info
1955
about paths and bzr version. (Alexander Belchenko, #129298)
1961
* A progress bar has been added for knitpack -> knitpack fetching.
1962
(Robert Collins, #157789, #159147)
1964
* Branching from a branch via smart server now preserves the repository
1965
format. (Andrew Bennetts, #164626)
1967
* ``commit`` is now able to invoke an external editor in a non-ascii
1968
directory. (Daniel Watkins, #84043)
1970
* Catch connection errors for ftp.
1971
(Vincent Ladeuil, #164567)
1973
* ``check`` no longer reports spurious unreferenced text versions.
1974
(Robert Collins, John A Meinel, #162931, #165071)
1976
* Conflicts are now resolved recursively by ``revert``.
1977
(Aaron Bentley, #102739)
1979
* Detect invalid transport reuse attempts by catching invalid URLs.
1980
(Vincent Ladeuil, #161819)
1982
* Deleting a file without removing it shows a correct diff, not a traceback.
1985
* Do no use timeout in HttpServer anymore.
1986
(Vincent Ladeuil, #158972).
1988
* Don't catch the exceptions related to the http pipeline status before
1989
retrying an http request or some programming errors may be masked.
1990
(Vincent Ladeuil, #160012)
1992
* Fix ``bzr rm`` to not delete modified and ignored files.
1993
(Lukáš Lalinský, #172598)
1995
* Fix exception when revisionspec contains merge revisons but log
1996
formatter doesn't support merge revisions. (Kent Gibson, #148908)
1998
* Fix exception when ScopeReplacer is assigned to before any members have
1999
been retrieved. (Aaron Bentley)
2001
* Fix multiple connections during checkout --lightweight.
2002
(Vincent Ladeuil, #159150)
2004
* Fix possible error in insert_data_stream when copying between
2005
pack repositories over bzr+ssh or bzr+http.
2006
KnitVersionedFile.get_data_stream now makes sure that requested
2007
compression parents are sent before any delta hunks that depend
2009
(Martin Pool, #164637)
2011
* Fix typo in limiting offsets coalescing for http, leading to
2012
whole files being downloaded instead of parts.
2013
(Vincent Ladeuil, #165061)
2015
* FTP server errors don't error in the error handling code.
2016
(Robert Collins, #161240)
2018
* Give a clearer message when a pull fails because the source needs
2020
(Martin Pool, #164443)
2022
* It is clearer when a plugin cannot be loaded because of its name, and a
2023
suggestion for an acceptable name is given. (Daniel Watkins, #103023)
2025
* Leave port as None in transport objects if user doesn't
2026
specify a port in urls.
2027
(vincent Ladeuil, #150860)
2029
* Make sure Repository.fetch(self) is properly a no-op for all
2030
Repository implementations. (John Arbash Meinel, #158333)
2032
* Mark .bzr directories as "hidden" on Windows.
2033
(Alexander Belchenko, #71147)
2035
* ``merge --uncommitted`` can now operate on a single file.
2036
(Aaron Bentley, Lukáš Lalinský, #136890)
2038
* Obsolete packs are now cleaned up by pack and autopack operations.
2039
(Robert Collins, #153789)
2041
* Operations pulling data from a smart server where the underlying
2042
repositories are not both annotated/both unannotated will now work.
2043
(Robert Collins, #165304).
2045
* Reconcile now shows progress bars. (Robert Collins, #159351)
2047
* ``RemoteBranch`` was not initializing ``self._revision_id_to_revno_map``
2048
properly. (John Arbash Meinel, #162486)
2050
* Removing an already-removed file reports the file does not exist. (Daniel
2053
* Rename on Windows is able to change filename case.
2054
(Alexander Belchenko, #77740)
2056
* Return error instead of a traceback for ``bzr log -r0``.
2057
(Kent Gibson, #133751)
2059
* Return error instead of a traceback when bzr is unable to create
2060
symlink on some platforms (e.g. on Windows).
2061
(Alexander Belchenko, workaround for #81689)
2063
* Revert doesn't crash when restoring a single file from a deleted
2064
directory. (Aaron Bentley)
2066
* Stderr output via logging mechanism now goes through encoded wrapper
2067
and no more uses utf-8, but terminal encoding instead. So all unicode
2068
strings now should be readable in non-utf-8 terminal.
2069
(Alexander Belchenko, #54173)
2071
* The error message when ``move --after`` should be used makes how to do so
2072
clearer. (Daniel Watkins, #85237)
2074
* Unicode-safe output from ``bzr info``. The output will be encoded
2075
using the terminal encoding and unrepresentable characters will be
2076
replaced by '?'. (Lukáš Lalinský, #151844)
2078
* Working trees are no longer created when pushing into a local no-trees
2079
repo. (Daniel Watkins, #50582)
2081
* Upgrade util/configobj to version 4.4.0.
2082
(Vincent Ladeuil, #151208).
2084
* Wrap medusa ftp test server as an FTPServer feature.
2085
(Vincent Ladeuil, #157752)
2089
* ``osutils.backup_file`` is deprecated. Actually it's not used in bzrlib
2090
during very long time. (Alexander Belchenko)
2092
* The return value of
2093
``VersionedFile.iter_lines_added_or_present_in_versions`` has been
2094
changed. Previously it was an iterator of lines, now it is an iterator of
2095
(line, version_id) tuples. This change has been made to aid reconcile and
2096
fetch operations. (Robert Collins)
2098
* ``bzrlib.repository.get_versioned_file_checker`` is now private.
2101
* The Repository format registry default has been removed; it was previously
2102
obsoleted by the bzrdir format default, which implies a default repository
2108
* Added ``ContainerSerialiser`` and ``ContainerPushParser`` to
2109
``bzrlib.pack``. These classes provide more convenient APIs for generating
2110
and parsing containers from streams rather than from files. (Andrew
2113
* New module ``lru_cache`` providing a cache for use by tasks that need
2114
semi-random access to large amounts of data. (John A Meinel)
2116
* InventoryEntry.diff is now deprecated. Please use diff.DiffTree instead.
2126
* New uninstaller on Win32. (Alexander Belchenko)
2129
bzr 0.92rc1 2007-10-29
2130
----------------------
2132
NOTES WHEN UPGRADING:
2136
* ``bzr`` now returns exit code 4 if an internal error occurred, and
2137
3 if a normal error occurred. (Martin Pool)
2139
* ``pull``, ``merge`` and ``push`` will no longer silently correct some
2140
repository index errors that occured as a result of the Weave disk format.
2141
Instead the ``reconcile`` command needs to be run to correct those
2142
problems if they exist (and it has been able to fix most such problems
2143
since bzr 0.8). Some new problems have been identified during this release
2144
and you should run ``bzr check`` once on every repository to see if you
2145
need to reconcile. If you cannot ``pull`` or ``merge`` from a remote
2146
repository due to mismatched parent errors - a symptom of index errors -
2147
you should simply take a full copy of that remote repository to a clean
2148
directory outside any local repositories, then run reconcile on it, and
2149
finally pull from it locally. (And naturally email the repositories owner
2150
to ask them to upgrade and run reconcile).
2155
* New ``knitpack-experimental`` repository format. This is interoperable with
2156
the ``dirstate-tags`` format but uses a smarter storage design that greatly
2157
speeds up many operations, both local and remote. This new format can be
2158
used as an option to the ``init``, ``init-repository`` and ``upgrade``
2159
commands. See http://doc.bazaar-vcs.org/0.92/developers/knitpack.html
2160
for further details. (Robert Collins)
2162
* For users of bzr-svn (and those testing the prototype subtree support) that
2163
wish to try packs, a new ``knitpack-subtree-experimental`` format has also
2164
been added. This is interoperable with the ``dirstate-subtrees`` format.
2167
* New ``reconfigure`` command. (Aaron Bentley)
2169
* New ``revert --forget-merges`` command, which removes the record of a pending
2170
merge without affecting the working tree contents. (Martin Pool)
2172
* New ``bzr_remote_path`` configuration variable allows finer control of
2173
remote bzr locations than BZR_REMOTE_PATH environment variable.
2176
* New ``launchpad-login`` command to tell Bazaar your Launchpad
2177
user ID. This can then be used by other functions of the
2178
Launchpad plugin. (James Henstridge)
2182
* Commit in quiet mode is now slightly faster as the information to
2183
output is no longer calculated. (Ian Clatworthy)
2185
* Commit no longer checks for new text keys during insertion when the
2186
revision id was deterministically unique. (Robert Collins)
2188
* Committing a change which is not a merge and does not change the number of
2189
files in the tree is faster by utilising the data about whether files are
2190
changed to determine if the tree is unchanged rather than recalculating
2191
it at the end of the commit process. (Robert Collins)
2193
* Inventory serialisation no longer double-sha's the content.
2196
* Knit text reconstruction now avoids making copies of the lines list for
2197
interim texts when building a single text. The new ``apply_delta`` method
2198
on ``KnitContent`` aids this by allowing modification of the revision id
2199
such objects represent. (Robert Collins)
2201
* Pack indices are now partially parsed for specific key lookup using a
2202
bisection approach. (Robert Collins)
2204
* Partial commits are now approximately 40% faster by walking over the
2205
unselected current tree more efficiently. (Robert Collins)
2207
* XML inventory serialisation takes 20% less time while being stricter about
2208
the contents. (Robert Collins)
2210
* Graph ``heads()`` queries have been fixed to no longer access all history
2211
unnecessarily. (Robert Collins)
2215
* ``bzr+https://`` smart server across https now supported.
2216
(John Ferlito, Martin Pool, #128456)
2218
* Mutt is now a supported mail client; set ``mail_client=mutt`` in your
2219
bazaar.conf and ``send`` will use mutt. (Keir Mierle)
2221
* New option ``-c``/``--change`` for ``merge`` command for cherrypicking
2222
changes from one revision. (Alexander Belchenko, #141368)
2224
* Show encodings, locale and list of plugins in the traceback message.
2225
(Martin Pool, #63894)
2227
* Experimental directory formats can now be marked with
2228
``experimental = True`` during registration. (Ian Clatworthy)
2232
* New *Bazaar in Five Minutes* guide. (Matthew Revell)
2234
* The hooks reference documentation is now converted to html as expected.
2239
* Connection error reporting for the smart server has been fixed to
2240
display a user friendly message instead of a traceback.
2241
(Ian Clatworthy, #115601)
2243
* Make sure to use ``O_BINARY`` when opening files to check their
2244
sha1sum. (Alexander Belchenko, John Arbash Meinel, #153493)
2246
* Fix a problem with Win32 handling of the executable bit.
2247
(John Arbash Meinel, #149113)
2249
* ``bzr+ssh://`` and ``sftp://`` URLs that do not specify ports explicitly
2250
no longer assume that means port 22. This allows people using OpenSSH to
2251
override the default port in their ``~/.ssh/config`` if they wish. This
2252
fixes a bug introduced in bzr 0.91. (Andrew Bennetts, #146715)
2254
* Commands reporting exceptions can now be profiled and still have their
2255
data correctly dumped to a file. For example, a ``bzr commit`` with
2256
no changes still reports the operation as pointless but doing so no
2257
longer throws away the profiling data if this command is run with
2258
``--lsprof-file callgrind.out.ci`` say. (Ian Clatworthy)
2260
* Fallback to ftp when paramiko is not installed and sftp can't be used for
2261
``tests/commands`` so that the test suite is still usable without
2263
(Vincent Ladeuil, #59150)
2265
* Fix commit ordering in corner case. (Aaron Bentley, #94975)
2267
* Fix long standing bug in partial commit when there are renames
2268
left in tree. (Robert Collins, #140419)
2270
* Fix selftest semi-random noise during http related tests.
2271
(Vincent Ladeuil, #140614)
2273
* Fix typo in ftp.py making the reconnection fail on temporary errors.
2274
(Vincent Ladeuil, #154259)
2276
* Fix failing test by comparing real paths to cover the case where the TMPDIR
2277
contains a symbolic link.
2278
(Vincent Ladeuil, #141382).
2280
* Fix log against smart server branches that don't support tags.
2281
(James Westby, #140615)
2283
* Fix pycurl http implementation by defining error codes from
2284
pycurl instead of relying on an old curl definition.
2285
(Vincent Ladeuil, #147530)
2287
* Fix 'unprintable error' message when displaying BzrCheckError and
2288
some other exceptions on Python 2.5.
2289
(Martin Pool, #144633)
2291
* Fix ``Inventory.copy()`` and add test for it. (Jelmer Vernooij)
2293
* Handles default value for ListOption in cmd_commit.
2294
(Vincent Ladeuil, #140432)
2296
* HttpServer and FtpServer need to be closed properly or a listening socket
2298
(Vincent Ladeuil, #140055)
2300
* Monitor the .bzr directory created in the top level test
2301
directory to detect leaking tests.
2302
(Vincent Ladeuil, #147986)
2304
* The basename, not the full path, is now used when checking whether
2305
the profiling dump file begins with ``callgrind.out`` or not. This
2306
fixes a bug reported by Aaron Bentley on IRC. (Ian Clatworthy)
2308
* Trivial fix for invoking command ``reconfigure`` without arguments.
2311
* ``WorkingTree.rename_one`` will now raise an error if normalisation of the
2312
new path causes bzr to be unable to access the file. (Robert Collins)
2314
* Correctly detect a NoSuchFile when using a filezilla server. (Gary van der
2319
* ``bzrlib.index.GraphIndex`` now requires a size parameter to the
2320
constructor, for enabling bisection searches. (Robert Collins)
2322
* ``CommitBuilder.record_entry_contents`` now requires the root entry of a
2323
tree be supplied to it, previously failing to do so would trigger a
2324
deprecation warning. (Robert Collins)
2326
* ``KnitVersionedFile.add*`` will no longer cache added records even when
2327
enable_cache() has been called - the caching feature is now exclusively for
2328
reading existing data. (Robert Collins)
2330
* ``ReadOnlyLockError`` is deprecated; ``LockFailed`` is usually more
2331
appropriate. (Martin Pool)
2333
* Removed ``bzrlib.transport.TransportLogger`` - please see the new
2334
``trace+`` transport instead. (Robert Collins)
2336
* Removed previously deprecated varargs interface to ``TestCase.run_bzr`` and
2337
deprecated methods ``TestCase.capture`` and ``TestCase.run_bzr_captured``.
2340
* Removed previous deprecated ``basis_knit`` parameter to the
2341
``KnitVersionedFile`` constructor. (Robert Collins)
2343
* Special purpose method ``TestCase.run_bzr_decode`` is moved to the test_non_ascii
2344
class that needs it.
2347
* The class ``bzrlib.repofmt.knitrepo.KnitRepository3`` has been folded into
2348
``KnitRepository`` by parameters to the constructor. (Robert Collins)
2350
* The ``VersionedFile`` interface now allows content checks to be bypassed
2351
by supplying check_content=False. This saves nearly 30% of the minimum
2352
cost to store a version of a file. (Robert Collins)
2354
* Tree's with bad state such as files with no length or sha will no longer
2355
be silently accepted by the repository XML serialiser. To serialise
2356
inventories without such data, pass working=True to write_inventory.
2359
* ``VersionedFile.fix_parents`` has been removed as a harmful API.
2360
``VersionedFile.join`` will no longer accept different parents on either
2361
side of a join - it will either ignore them, or error, depending on the
2362
implementation. See notes when upgrading for more information.
2367
* ``bzrlib.transport.Transport.put_file`` now returns the number of bytes
2368
put by the method call, to allow avoiding stat-after-write or
2369
housekeeping in callers. (Robert Collins)
2371
* ``bzrlib.xml_serializer.Serializer`` is now responsible for checking that
2372
mandatory attributes are present on serialisation and deserialisation.
2373
This fixes some holes in API usage and allows better separation between
2374
physical storage and object serialisation. (Robert Collins)
2376
* New class ``bzrlib.errors.InternalBzrError`` which is just a convenient
2377
shorthand for deriving from BzrError and setting internal_error = True.
2380
* New method ``bzrlib.mutabletree.update_to_one_parent_via_delta`` for
2381
moving the state of a parent tree to a new version via a delta rather than
2382
a complete replacement tree. (Robert Collins)
2384
* New method ``bzrlib.osutils.minimum_path_selection`` useful for removing
2385
duplication from user input, when a user mentions both a path and an item
2386
contained within that path. (Robert Collins)
2388
* New method ``bzrlib.repository.Repository.is_write_locked`` useful for
2389
determining if a repository is write locked. (Robert Collins)
2391
* New method on ``bzrlib.tree.Tree`` ``path_content_summary`` provides a
2392
tuple containing the key information about a path for commit processing
2393
to complete. (Robert Collins)
2395
* New method on xml serialisers, write_inventory_to_lines, which matches the
2396
API used by knits for adding content. (Robert Collins)
2398
* New module ``bzrlib.bisect_multi`` with generic multiple-bisection-at-once
2399
logic, currently only available for byte-based lookup
2400
(``bisect_multi_bytes``). (Robert Collins)
2402
* New helper ``bzrlib.tuned_gzip.bytes_to_gzip`` which takes a byte string
2403
and returns a gzipped version of the same. This is used to avoid a bunch
2404
of api friction during adding of knit hunks. (Robert Collins)
2406
* New parameter on ``bzrlib.transport.Transport.readv``
2407
``adjust_for_latency`` which changes readv from returning strictly the
2408
requested data to inserted return larger ranges and in forward read order
2409
to reduce the effect of network latency. (Robert Collins)
2411
* New parameter yield_parents on ``Inventory.iter_entries_by_dir`` which
2412
causes the parents of a selected id to be returned recursively, so all the
2413
paths from the root down to each element of selected_file_ids are
2414
returned. (Robert Collins)
2416
* Knit joining has been enhanced to support plain to annotated conversion
2417
and annotated to plain conversion. (Ian Clatworthy)
2419
* The CommitBuilder method ``record_entry_contents`` now returns summary
2420
information about the effect of the commit on the repository. This tuple
2421
contains an inventory delta item if the entry changed from the basis, and a
2422
boolean indicating whether a new file graph node was recorded.
2425
* The python path used in the Makefile can now be overridden.
2426
(Andrew Bennetts, Ian Clatworthy)
2430
* New transport implementation ``trace+`` which is useful for testing,
2431
logging activity taken to its _activity attribute. (Robert Collins)
2433
* When running bzr commands within the test suite, internal exceptions are
2434
not caught and reported in the usual way, but rather allowed to propagate
2435
up and be visible to the test suite. A new API ``run_bzr_catch_user_errors``
2436
makes this behavior available to other users.
2439
* New method ``TestCase.call_catch_warnings`` for testing methods that
2440
raises a Python warning. (Martin Pool)
2448
* Print a warning instead of aborting the ``python setup.py install``
2449
process if building of a C extension is not possible.
2450
(Lukáš Lalinský, Alexander Belchenko)
2452
* Fix commit ordering in corner case (Aaron Bentley, #94975)
2454
* Fix ''bzr info bzr://host/'' and other operations on ''bzr://' URLs with
2455
an implicit port. We were incorrectly raising PathNotChild due to
2456
inconsistent treatment of the ''_port'' attribute on the Transport object.
2457
(Andrew Bennetts, #133965)
2459
* Make RemoteRepository.sprout cope gracefully with servers that don't
2460
support the ``Repository.tarball`` request.
2464
bzr 0.91rc2 2007-09-11
2465
----------------------
2467
* Replaced incorrect tarball for previous release; a debug statement was left
2468
in bzrlib/remote.py.
2471
bzr 0.91rc1 2007-09-11
2472
----------------------
2476
* The default branch and repository format has changed to
2477
``dirstate-tags``, so tag commands are active by default.
2478
This format is compatible with Bazaar 0.15 and later.
2479
This incidentally fixes bug #126141.
2482
* ``--quiet`` or ``-q`` is no longer a global option. If present, it
2483
must now appear after the command name. Scripts doing things like
2484
``bzr -q missing`` need to be rewritten as ``bzr missing -q``.
2489
* New option ``--author`` in ``bzr commit`` to specify the author of the
2490
change, if it's different from the committer. ``bzr log`` and
2491
``bzr annotate`` display the author instead of the committer.
2494
* In addition to global options and command specific options, a set of
2495
standard options are now supported. Standard options are legal for
2496
all commands. The initial set of standard options are:
2498
* ``--help`` or ``-h`` - display help message
2499
* ``--verbose`` or ``-v`` - display additional information
2500
* ``--quiet`` or ``-q`` - only output warnings and errors.
2502
Unlike global options, standard options can be used in aliases and
2503
may have command-specific help. (Ian Clatworthy)
2505
* Verbosity level processing has now been unified. If ``--verbose``
2506
or ``-v`` is specified on the command line multiple times, the
2507
verbosity level is made positive the first time then increased.
2508
If ``--quiet`` or ``-q`` is specified on the command line
2509
multiple times, the verbosity level is made negative the first
2510
time then decreased. To get the default verbosity level of zero,
2511
either specify none of the above , ``--no-verbose`` or ``--no-quiet``.
2512
Note that most commands currently ignore the magnitude of the
2513
verbosity level but do respect *quiet vs normal vs verbose* when
2514
generating output. (Ian Clatworthy)
2516
* ``Branch.hooks`` now supports ``pre_commit`` hook. The hook's signature
2517
is documented in BranchHooks constructor. (Nam T. Nguyen, #102747)
2519
* New ``Repository.stream_knit_data_for_revisions`` request added to the
2520
network protocol for greatly reduced roundtrips when retrieving a set of
2521
revisions. (Andrew Bennetts)
2525
* ``bzr plugins`` now lists the version number for each plugin in square
2526
brackets after the path. (Robert Collins, #125421)
2528
* Pushing, pulling and branching branches with subtree references was not
2529
copying the subtree weave, preventing the file graph from being accessed
2530
and causing errors in commits in clones. (Robert Collins)
2532
* Suppress warning "integer argument expected, got float" from Paramiko,
2533
which sometimes caused false test failures. (Martin Pool)
2535
* Fix bug in bundle 4 that could cause attempts to write data to wrong
2536
versionedfile. (Aaron Bentley)
2538
* Diffs generated using "diff -p" no longer break the patch parser.
2541
* get_transport treats an empty possible_transports list the same as a non-
2542
empty one. (Aaron Bentley)
2544
* patch verification for merge directives is reactivated, and works with
2545
CRLF and CR files. (Aaron Bentley)
2547
* Accept ..\ as a path in revision specifiers. This fixes for example
2548
"-r branch:..\other-branch" on Windows. (Lukáš Lalinský)
2550
* ``BZR_PLUGIN_PATH`` may now contain trailing slashes.
2551
(Blake Winton, #129299)
2553
* man page no longer lists hidden options (#131667, Aaron Bentley)
2555
* ``uncommit --help`` now explains the -r option adequately. (Daniel
2558
* Error messages are now better formatted with parameters (such as
2559
filenames) quoted when necessary. This avoids confusion when directory
2560
names ending in a '.' at the end of messages were confused with a
2561
full stop that may or not have been there. (Daniel Watkins, #129791)
2563
* Fix ``status FILE -r X..Y``. (Lukáš Lalinský)
2565
* If a particular command is an alias, ``help`` will show the alias
2566
instead of claiming there is no help for said alias. (Daniel Watkins,
2569
* TreeTransform-based operations, like pull, merge, revert, and branch,
2570
now roll back if they encounter an error. (Aaron Bentley, #67699)
2572
* ``bzr commit`` now exits cleanly if a character unsupported by the
2573
current encoding is used in the commit message. (Daniel Watkins,
2576
* bzr send uses default values for ranges when only half of an elipsis
2577
is specified ("-r..5" or "-r5.."). (#61685, Aaron Bentley)
2579
* Avoid trouble when Windows ssh calls itself 'plink' but no plink
2580
binary is present. (Martin Albisetti, #107155)
2582
* ``bzr remove`` should remove clean subtrees. Now it will remove (without
2583
needing ``--force``) subtrees that contain no files with text changes or
2584
modified files. With ``--force`` it removes the subtree regardless of
2585
text changes or unknown files. Directories with renames in or out (but
2586
not changed otherwise) will now be removed without needing ``--force``.
2587
Unknown ignored files will be deleted without needing ``--force``.
2588
(Marius Kruger, #111665)
2590
* When two plugins conflict, the source of both the losing and now the
2591
winning definition is shown. (Konstantin Mikhaylov, #5454)
2593
* When committing to a branch, the location being committed to is
2594
displayed. (Daniel Watkins, #52479)
2596
* ``bzr --version`` takes care about encoding of stdout, especially
2597
when output is redirected. (Alexander Belchenko, #131100)
2599
* Prompt for an ftp password if none is provided.
2600
(Vincent Ladeuil, #137044)
2602
* Reuse bound branch associated transport to avoid multiple
2604
(Vincent Ladeuil, #128076, #131396)
2606
* Overwrite conflicting tags by ``push`` and ``pull`` if the
2607
``--overwrite`` option is specified. (Lukáš Lalinský, #93947)
2609
* In checkouts, tags are copied into the master branch when created,
2610
changed or deleted, and are copied into the checkout when it is
2611
updated. (Martin Pool, #93856, #93860)
2613
* Print a warning instead of aborting the ``python setup.py install``
2614
process if building of a C extension is not possible.
2615
(Lukáš Lalinský, Alexander Belchenko)
2619
* Add the option "--show-diff" to the commit command in order to display
2620
the diff during the commit log creation. (Goffredo Baroncelli)
2622
* ``pull`` and ``merge`` are much faster at installing bundle format 4.
2625
* ``pull -v`` no longer includes deltas, making it much faster.
2628
* ``send`` now sends the directive as an attachment by default.
2629
(Aaron Bentley, Lukáš Lalinský, Alexander Belchenko)
2631
* Documentation updates (Martin Albisetti)
2633
* Help on debug flags is now included in ``help global-options``.
2634
(Daniel Watkins, #124853)
2636
* Parameters passed on the command line are checked to ensure they are
2637
supported by the encoding in use. (Daniel Watkins)
2639
* The compression used within the bzr repository has changed from zlib
2640
level 9 to the zlib default level. This improves commit performance with
2641
only a small increase in space used (and in some cases a reduction in
2642
space). (Robert Collins)
2644
* Initial commit no longer SHAs files twice and now reuses the path
2645
rather than looking it up again, making it faster.
2648
* New option ``-c``/``--change`` for ``diff`` and ``status`` to show
2649
changes in one revision. (Lukáš Lalinský)
2651
* If versioned files match a given ignore pattern, a warning is now
2652
given. (Daniel Watkins, #48623)
2654
* ``bzr status`` now has -S as a short name for --short and -V as a
2655
short name for --versioned. These have been added to assist users
2656
migrating from Subversion: ``bzr status -SV`` is now like
2657
``svn status -q``. (Daniel Watkins, #115990)
2659
* Added C implementation of ``PatienceSequenceMatcher``, which is about
2660
10x faster than the Python version. This speeds up commands that
2661
need file diffing, such as ``bzr commit`` or ``bzr diff``.
2664
* HACKING has been extended with a large section on core developer tasks.
2667
* Add ``branches`` and ``standalone-trees`` as online help topics and
2668
include them as Concepts within the User Reference.
2669
(Paul Moore, Ian Clatworthy)
2671
* ``check`` can detect versionedfile parent references that are
2672
inconsistent with revision and inventory info, and ``reconcile`` can fix
2673
them. These faulty references were generated by 0.8-era releases,
2674
so repositories which were manipulated by old bzrs should be
2675
checked, and possibly reconciled ASAP. (Aaron Bentley, Andrew Bennetts)
2679
* ``Branch.append_revision`` is removed altogether; please use
2680
``Branch.set_last_revision_info`` instead. (Martin Pool)
2682
* CommitBuilder now advertises itself as requiring the root entry to be
2683
supplied. This only affects foreign repository implementations which reuse
2684
CommitBuilder directly and have changed record_entry_contents to require
2685
that the root not be supplied. This should be precisely zero plugins
2686
affected. (Robert Collins)
2688
* The ``add_lines`` methods on ``VersionedFile`` implementations has changed
2689
its return value to include the sha1 and length of the inserted text. This
2690
allows the avoidance of double-sha1 calculations during commit.
2693
* ``Transport.should_cache`` has been removed. It was not called in the
2694
previous release. (Martin Pool)
2698
* Tests may now raise TestNotApplicable to indicate they shouldn't be
2699
run in a particular scenario. (Martin Pool)
2701
* New function multiply_tests_from_modules to give a simpler interface
2702
to test parameterization. (Martin Pool, Robert Collins)
2704
* ``Transport.should_cache`` has been removed. It was not called in the
2705
previous release. (Martin Pool)
2707
* NULL_REVISION is returned to indicate the null revision, not None.
2710
* Use UTF-8 encoded StringIO for log tests to avoid failures on
2711
non-ASCII committer names. (Lukáš Lalinský)
2715
* ``bzrlib.plugin.all_plugins`` has been deprecated in favour of
2716
``bzrlib.plugin.plugins()`` which returns PlugIn objects that provide
2717
useful functionality for determining the path of a plugin, its tests, and
2718
its version information. (Robert Collins)
2720
* Add the option user_encoding to the function 'show_diff_trees()'
2721
in order to move the user encoding at the UI level. (Goffredo Baroncelli)
2723
* Add the function make_commit_message_template_encoded() and the function
2724
edit_commit_message_encoded() which handle encoded strings.
2725
This is done in order to mix the commit messages (which is a unicode
2726
string), and the diff which is a raw string. (Goffredo Baroncelli)
2728
* CommitBuilder now defaults to using add_lines_with_ghosts, reducing
2729
overhead on non-weave repositories which don't require all parents to be
2730
present. (Robert Collins)
2732
* Deprecated method ``find_previous_heads`` on
2733
``bzrlib.inventory.InventoryEntry``. This has been superseded by the use
2734
of ``parent_candidates`` and a separate heads check via the repository
2735
API. (Robert Collins)
2737
* New trace function ``mutter_callsite`` will print out a subset of the
2738
stack to the log, which can be useful for gathering debug details.
2741
* ``bzrlib.pack.ContainerWriter`` now tracks how many records have been
2742
added via a public attribute records_written. (Robert Collins)
2744
* New method ``bzrlib.transport.Transport.get_recommended_page_size``.
2745
This provides a hint to users of transports as to the reasonable
2746
minimum data to read. In principle this can take latency and
2747
bandwidth into account on a per-connection basis, but for now it
2748
just has hard coded values based on the url. (e.g. http:// has a large
2749
page size, file:// has a small one.) (Robert Collins)
2751
* New method on ``bzrlib.transport.Transport`` ``open_write_stream`` allows
2752
incremental addition of data to a file without requiring that all the
2753
data be buffered in memory. (Robert Collins)
2755
* New methods on ``bzrlib.knit.KnitVersionedFile``:
2756
``get_data_stream(versions)``, ``insert_data_stream(stream)`` and
2757
``get_format_signature()``. These provide some infrastructure for
2758
efficiently streaming the knit data for a set of versions over the smart
2761
* Knits with no annotation cache still produce correct annotations.
2764
* Three new methods have been added to ``bzrlib.trace``:
2765
``set_verbosity_level``, ``get_verbosity_level`` and ``is_verbose``.
2766
``set_verbosity_level`` expects a numeric value: negative for quiet,
2767
zero for normal, positive for verbose. The size of the number can be
2768
used to determine just how quiet or verbose the application should be.
2769
The existing ``be_quiet`` and ``is_quiet`` routines have been
2770
integrated into this new scheme. (Ian Clatworthy)
2772
* Options can now be delcared with a ``custom_callback`` parameter. If
2773
set, this routine is called after the option is processed. This feature
2774
is now used by the standard options ``verbose`` and ``quiet`` so that
2775
setting one implicitly resets the other. (Ian Clatworthy)
2777
* Rather than declaring a new option from scratch in order to provide
2778
custom help, a centrally registered option can be decorated using the
2779
new ``bzrlib.Option.custom_help`` routine. In particular, this routine
2780
is useful when declaring better help for the ``verbose`` and ``quiet``
2781
standard options as the base definition of these is now more complex
2782
than before thanks to their use of a custom callback. (Ian Clatworthy)
2784
* Tree._iter_changes(specific_file=[]) now iterates through no files,
2785
instead of iterating through all files. None is used to iterate through
2786
all files. (Aaron Bentley)
2788
* WorkingTree.revert() now accepts None to revert all files. The use of
2789
[] to revert all files is deprecated. (Aaron Bentley)
2797
* Documentation is now organized into multiple directories with a level
2798
added for different languages or locales. Added the Mini Tutorial
2799
and Quick Start Summary (en) documents from the Wiki, improving the
2800
content and readability of the former. Formatted NEWS as Release Notes
2801
complete with a Table of Conents, one heading per release. Moved the
2802
Developer Guide into the main document catalog and provided a link
2803
from the developer document catalog back to the main one.
2804
(Ian Clatworthy, Sabin Iacob, Alexander Belchenko)
2809
* The static convenience method ``BzrDir.create_repository``
2810
is deprecated. Callers should instead create a ``BzrDir`` instance
2811
and call ``create_repository`` on that. (Martin Pool)
2814
bzr 0.90rc1 2007-08-14
2815
----------------------
2819
* ``bzr init`` should connect to the remote location one time only. We
2820
have been connecting several times because we forget to pass around the
2821
Transport object. This modifies ``BzrDir.create_branch_convenience``,
2822
so that we can give it the Transport we already have.
2823
(John Arbash Meinel, Vincent Ladeuil, #111702)
2825
* Get rid of sftp connection cache (get rid of the FTP one too).
2826
(Vincent Ladeuil, #43731)
2828
* bzr branch {local|remote} remote don't try to create a working tree
2830
(Vincent Ladeuil, #112173)
2832
* All identified multiple connections for a single bzr command have been
2833
fixed. See bzrlib/tests/commands directory.
2836
* ``bzr rm`` now does not insist on ``--force`` to delete files that
2837
have been renamed but not otherwise modified. (Marius Kruger,
2840
* ``bzr selftest --bench`` no longer emits deprecation warnings
2843
* ``bzr status`` now honours FILE parameters for conflict lists
2844
(Aaron Bentley, #127606)
2846
* ``bzr checkout`` now honours -r when reconstituting a working tree.
2847
It also honours -r 0. (Aaron Bentley, #127708)
2849
* ``bzr add *`` no more fails on Windows if working tree contains
2850
non-ascii file names. (Kuno Meyer, #127361)
2852
* allow ``easy_install bzr`` runs without fatal errors.
2853
(Alexander Belchenko, #125521)
2855
* Graph._filter_candidate_lca does not raise KeyError if a candidate
2856
is eliminated just before it would normally be examined. (Aaron Bentley)
2858
* SMTP connection failures produce a nice message, not a traceback.
2863
* Don't show "dots" progress indicators when run non-interactively, such
2864
as from cron. (Martin Pool)
2866
* ``info`` now formats locations more nicely and lists "submit" and
2867
"public" branches (Aaron Bentley)
2869
* New ``pack`` command that will trigger database compression within
2870
the repository (Robert Collins)
2872
* Implement ``_KnitIndex._load_data`` in a pyrex extension. The pyrex
2873
version is approximately 2-3x faster at parsing a ``.kndx`` file.
2874
Which yields a measurable improvement for commands which have to
2875
read from the repository, such as a 1s => 0.75s improvement in
2876
``bzr diff`` when there are changes to be shown. (John Arbash Meinel)
2878
* Merge is now faster. Depending on the scenario, it can be more than 2x
2879
faster. (Aaron Bentley)
2881
* Give a clearer warning, and allow ``python setup.py install`` to
2882
succeed even if pyrex is not available.
2883
(John Arbash Meinel)
2885
* ``DirState._read_dirblocks`` now has an optional Pyrex
2886
implementation. This improves the speed of any command that has to
2887
read the entire DirState. (``diff``, ``status``, etc, improve by
2889
``bisect_dirblocks`` has also been improved, which helps all
2890
``_get_entry`` type calls (whenever we are searching for a
2891
particular entry in the in-memory DirState).
2892
(John Arbash Meinel)
2894
* ``bzr pull`` and ``bzr push`` no longer do a complete walk of the
2895
branch revision history for ui display unless -v is supplied.
2898
* ``bzr log -rA..B`` output shifted to the left margin if the log only
2899
contains merge revisions. (Kent Gibson)
2901
* The ``plugins`` command is now public with improved help.
2904
* New bundle and merge directive formats are faster to generate, and
2906
* Annotate merge now works when there are local changes. (Aaron Bentley)
2908
* Commit now only shows the progress in terms of directories instead of
2909
entries. (Ian Clatworthy)
2911
* Fix ``KnitRepository.get_revision_graph`` to not request the graph 2
2912
times. This makes ``get_revision_graph`` 2x faster. (John Arbash
2915
* Fix ``VersionedFile.get_graph()`` to avoid using
2916
``set.difference_update(other)``, which has bad scaling when
2917
``other`` is large. This improves ``VF.get_graph([version_id])`` for
2918
a 12.5k graph from 2.9s down to 200ms. (John Arbash Meinel)
2920
* The ``--lsprof-file`` option now generates output for KCacheGrind if
2921
the file starts with ``callgrind.out``. This matches the default file
2922
filtering done by KCacheGrind's Open Dialog. (Ian Clatworthy)
2924
* Fix ``bzr update`` to avoid an unnecessary
2925
``branch.get_master_branch`` call, which avoids 1 extra connection
2926
to the remote server. (Partial fix for #128076, John Arbash Meinel)
2928
* Log errors from the smart server in the trace file, to make debugging
2929
test failures (and live failures!) easier. (Andrew Bennetts)
2931
* The HTML version of the man page has been superceded by a more
2932
comprehensive manual called the Bazaar User Reference. This manual
2933
is completed generated from the online help topics. As part of this
2934
change, limited reStructuredText is now explicitly supported in help
2935
topics and command help with 'unnatural' markup being removed prior
2936
to display by the online help or inclusion in the man page.
2939
* HTML documentation now use files extension ``*.html``
2940
(Alexander Belchenko)
2942
* The cache of ignore definitions is now cleared in WorkingTree.unlock()
2943
so that changes to .bzrignore aren't missed. (#129694, Daniel Watkins)
2945
* ``bzr selftest --strict`` fails if there are any missing features or
2946
expected test failures. (Daniel Watkins, #111914)
2948
* Link to registration survey added to README. (Ian Clatworthy)
2950
* Windows standalone installer show link to registration survey
2951
when installation finished. (Alexander Belchenko)
2955
* Deprecated dictionary ``bzrlib.option.SHORT_OPTIONS`` removed.
2956
Options are now required to provide a help string and it must
2957
comply with the style guide by being one or more sentences with an
2958
initial capital and final period. (Martin Pool)
2960
* KnitIndex.get_parents now returns tuples. (Robert Collins)
2962
* Ancient unused ``Repository.text_store`` attribute has been removed.
2965
* The ``bzrlib.pack`` interface has changed to use tuples of bytestrings
2966
rather than just bytestrings, making it easier to represent multiple
2967
element names. As this interface was not used by any internal facilities
2968
since it was introduced in 0.18 no API compatibility is being preserved.
2969
The serialised form of these packs is identical with 0.18 when a single
2970
element tuple is in use. (Robert Collins)
2974
* merge now uses ``iter_changes`` to calculate changes, which makes room for
2975
future performance increases. It is also more consistent with other
2976
operations that perform comparisons, and reduces reliance on
2977
Tree.inventory. (Aaron Bentley)
2979
* Refactoring of transport classes connected to a remote server.
2980
ConnectedTransport is a new class that serves as a basis for all
2981
transports needing to connect to a remote server. transport.split_url
2982
have been deprecated, use the static method on the object instead. URL
2983
tests have been refactored too.
2986
* Better connection sharing for ConnectedTransport objects.
2987
transport.get_transport() now accepts a 'possible_transports' parameter.
2988
If a newly requested transport can share a connection with one of the
2992
* Most functions now accept ``bzrlib.revision.NULL_REVISION`` to indicate
2993
the null revision, and consider using ``None`` for this purpose
2994
deprecated. (Aaron Bentley)
2996
* New ``index`` module with abstract index functionality. This will be
2997
used during the planned changes in the repository layer. Currently the
2998
index layer provides a graph aware immutable index, a builder for the
2999
same index type to allow creating them, and finally a composer for
3000
such indices to allow the use of many indices in a single query. The
3001
index performance is not optimised, however the API is stable to allow
3002
development on top of the index. (Robert Collins)
3004
* ``bzrlib.dirstate.cmp_by_dirs`` can be used to compare two paths by
3005
their directory sections. This is equivalent to comparing
3006
``path.split('/')``, only without having to split the paths.
3007
This has a Pyrex implementation available.
3008
(John Arbash Meinel)
3010
* New transport decorator 'unlistable+' which disables the list_dir
3011
functionality for testing.
3013
* Deprecated ``change_entry`` in transform.py. (Ian Clatworthy)
3015
* RevisionTree.get_weave is now deprecated. Tree.plan_merge is now used
3016
for performing annotate-merge. (Aaron Bentley)
3018
* New EmailMessage class to create email messages. (Adeodato Simó)
3020
* Unused functions on the private interface KnitIndex have been removed.
3023
* New ``knit.KnitGraphIndex`` which provides a ``KnitIndex`` layered on top
3024
of a ``index.GraphIndex``. (Robert Collins)
3026
* New ``knit.KnitVersionedFile.iter_parents`` method that allows querying
3027
the parents of many knit nodes at once, reducing round trips to the
3028
underlying index. (Robert Collins)
3030
* Graph now has an is_ancestor method, various bits use it.
3033
* The ``-Dhpss`` flag now includes timing information. As well as
3034
logging when a new connection is opened. (John Arbash Meinel)
3036
* ``bzrlib.pack.ContainerWriter`` now returns an offset, length tuple to
3037
callers when inserting data, allowing generation of readv style access
3038
during pack creation, without needing a separate pass across the output
3039
pack to gather such details. (Robert Collins)
3041
* ``bzrlib.pack.make_readv_reader`` allows readv based access to pack
3042
files that are stored on a transport. (Robert Collins)
3044
* New ``Repository.has_same_location`` method that reports if two
3045
repository objects refer to the same repository (although with some risk
3046
of false negatives). (Andrew Bennetts)
3048
* InterTree.compare now passes require_versioned on correctly.
3051
* New methods on Repository - ``start_write_group``,
3052
``commit_write_group``, ``abort_write_group`` and ``is_in_write_group`` -
3053
which provide a clean hook point for transactional Repositories - ones
3054
where all the data for a fetch or commit needs to be made atomically
3055
available in one step. This allows the write lock to remain while making
3056
a series of data insertions. (e.g. data conversion). (Robert Collins)
3058
* In ``bzrlib.knit`` the internal interface has been altered to use
3059
3-tuples (index, pos, length) rather than two-tuples (pos, length) to
3060
describe where data in a knit is, allowing knits to be split into
3061
many files. (Robert Collins)
3063
* ``bzrlib.knit._KnitData`` split into cache management and physical access
3064
with two access classes - ``_PackAccess`` and ``_KnitAccess`` defined.
3065
The former provides access into a .pack file, and the latter provides the
3066
current production repository form of .knit files. (Robert Collins)
3070
* Remove selftest ``--clean-output``, ``--numbered-dirs`` and
3071
``--keep-output`` options, which are obsolete now that tests
3072
are done within directories in $TMPDIR. (Martin Pool)
3074
* The SSH_AUTH_SOCK environment variable is now reset to avoid
3075
interaction with any running ssh agents. (Jelmer Vernooij, #125955)
3077
* run_bzr_subprocess handles parameters the same way as run_bzr:
3078
either a string or a list of strings should be passed as the first
3079
parameter. Varargs-style parameters are deprecated. (Aaron Bentley)
3083
--------------------
3087
* Fix 'bzr add' crash under Win32 (Kuno Meyer)
3090
bzr 0.18rc1 2007-07-10
3091
-----------------------
3095
* Do not suppress pipe errors, etc. in non-display commands
3096
(Alexander Belchenko, #87178)
3098
* Display a useful error message when the user requests to annotate
3099
a file that is not present in the specified revision.
3100
(James Westby, #122656)
3102
* Commands that use status flags now have a reference to 'help
3103
status-flags'. (Daniel Watkins, #113436)
3105
* Work around python-2.4.1 inhability to correctly parse the
3106
authentication header.
3107
(Vincent Ladeuil, #121889)
3109
* Use exact encoding for merge directives. (Adeodato Simó, #120591)
3111
* Fix tempfile permissions error in smart server tar bundling under
3112
Windows. (Martin _, #119330)
3114
* Fix detection of directory entries in the inventory. (James Westby)
3116
* Fix handling of http code 400: Bad Request When issuing too many ranges.
3117
(Vincent Ladeuil, #115209)
3119
* Issue a CONNECT request when connecting to an https server
3120
via a proxy to enable SSL tunneling.
3121
(Vincent Ladeuil, #120678)
3123
* Fix ``bzr log -r`` to support selecting merge revisions, both
3124
individually and as part of revision ranges.
3125
(Kent Gibson, #4663)
3127
* Don't leave cruft behind when failing to acquire a lockdir.
3128
(Martin Pool, #109169)
3130
* Don't use the '-f' strace option during tests.
3131
(Vincent Ladeuil, #102019).
3133
* Warn when setting ``push_location`` to a value that will be masked by
3134
locations.conf. (Aaron Bentley, #122286)
3136
* Fix commit ordering in corner case (Aaron Bentley, #94975)
3138
* Make annotate behave in a non-ASCII world (Adeodato Simó).
3142
* The --lsprof-file option now dumps a text rendering of the profiling
3143
information if the filename ends in ".txt". It will also convert the
3144
profiling information to a format suitable for KCacheGrind if the
3145
output filename ends in ".callgrind". Fixes to the lsprofcalltree
3146
conversion process by Jean Paul Calderone and Itamar were also merged.
3147
See http://ddaa.net/blog/python/lsprof-calltree. (Ian Clatworthy)
3149
* ``info`` now defaults to non-verbose mode, displaying only paths and
3150
abbreviated format info. ``info -v`` displays all the information
3151
formerly displayed by ``info``. (Aaron Bentley, Adeodato Simó)
3153
* ``bzr missing`` now has better option names ``--this`` and ``--other``.
3156
* The internal ``weave-list`` command has become ``versionedfile-list``,
3157
and now lists knits as well as weaves. (Aaron Bentley)
3159
* Automatic merge base selection uses a faster algorithm that chooses
3160
better bases in criss-cross merge situations (Aaron Bentley)
3162
* Progress reporting in ``commit`` has been improved. The various logical
3163
stages are now reported on as follows, namely:
3165
* Collecting changes [Entry x/y] - Stage n/m
3166
* Saving data locally - Stage n/m
3167
* Uploading data to master branch - Stage n/m
3168
* Updating the working tree - Stage n/m
3169
* Running post commit hooks - Stage n/m
3171
If there is no master branch, the 3rd stage is omitted and the total
3172
number of stages is adjusted accordingly.
3174
Each hook that is run after commit is listed with a name (as hooks
3175
can be slow it is useful feedback).
3176
(Ian Clatworthy, Robert Collins)
3178
* Various operations that are now faster due to avoiding unnecessary
3179
topological sorts. (Aaron Bentley)
3181
* Make merge directives robust against broken bundles. (Aaron Bentley)
3183
* The lsprof filename note is emitted via trace.note(), not standard
3184
output. (Aaron Bentley)
3186
* ``bzrlib`` now exports explicit API compatibility information to assist
3187
library users and plugins. See the ``bzrlib.api`` module for details.
3190
* Remove unnecessary lock probes when acquiring a lockdir.
3193
* ``bzr --version`` now shows the location of the bzr log file, which
3194
is especially useful on Windows. (Martin Pool)
3196
* -D now supports hooks to get debug tracing of hooks (though its currently
3197
minimal in nature). (Robert Collins)
3199
* Long log format reports deltas on merge revisions.
3200
(John Arbash Meinel, Kent Gibson)
3202
* Make initial push over ftp more resilient. (John Arbash Meinel)
3204
* Print a summary of changes for update just like pull does.
3205
(Daniel Watkins, #113990)
3207
* Add a -Dhpss option to trace smart protocol requests and responses.
3212
* Testing cleanups -
3213
``bzrlib.repository.RepositoryTestProviderAdapter`` has been moved
3214
to ``bzrlib.tests.repository_implementations``;
3215
``bzrlib.repository.InterRepositoryTestProviderAdapter`` has been moved
3216
to ``bzrlib.tests.interrepository_implementations``;
3217
``bzrlib.transport.TransportTestProviderAdapter`` has moved to
3218
``bzrlib.tests.test_transport_implementations``.
3219
``bzrlib.branch.BranchTestProviderAdapter`` has moved to
3220
``bzrlib.tests.branch_implementations``.
3221
``bzrlib.bzrdir.BzrDirTestProviderAdapter`` has moved to
3222
``bzrlib.tests.bzrdir_implementations``.
3223
``bzrlib.versionedfile.InterVersionedFileTestProviderAdapter`` has moved
3224
to ``bzrlib.tests.interversionedfile_implementations``.
3225
``bzrlib.store.revision.RevisionStoreTestProviderAdapter`` has moved to
3226
``bzrlib.tests.revisionstore_implementations``.
3227
``bzrlib.workingtree.WorkingTreeTestProviderAdapter`` has moved to
3228
``bzrlib.tests.workingtree_implementations``.
3229
These changes are an API break in the testing infrastructure only.
3232
* Relocate TestCaseWithRepository to be more central. (Robert Collins)
3234
* ``bzrlib.add.smart_add_tree`` will no longer perform glob expansion on
3235
win32. Callers of the function should do this and use the new
3236
``MutableTree.smart_add`` method instead. (Robert Collins)
3238
* ``bzrlib.add.glob_expand_for_win32`` is now
3239
``bzrlib.win32utils.glob_expand``. (Robert Collins)
3241
* ``bzrlib.add.FastPath`` is now private and moved to
3242
``bzrlib.mutabletree._FastPath``. (Robert Collins, Martin Pool)
3244
* ``LockDir.wait`` removed. (Martin Pool)
3246
* The ``SmartServer`` hooks API has changed for the ``server_started`` and
3247
``server_stopped`` hooks. The first parameter is now an iterable of
3248
backing URLs rather than a single URL. This is to reflect that many
3249
URLs may map to the external URL of the server. E.g. the server interally
3250
may have a chrooted URL but also the local file:// URL will be at the
3251
same location. (Robert Collins)
3255
* New SMTPConnection class to unify email handling. (Adeodato Simó)
3257
* Fix documentation of BzrError. (Adeodato Simó)
3259
* Make BzrBadParameter an internal error. (Adeodato Simó)
3261
* Remove use of 'assert False' to raise an exception unconditionally.
3264
* Give a cleaner error when failing to decode knit index entry.
3267
* TreeConfig would mistakenly search the top level when asked for options
3268
from a section. It now respects the section argument and only
3269
searches the specified section. (James Westby)
3271
* Improve ``make api-docs`` output. (John Arbash Meinel)
3273
* Use os.lstat rather than os.stat for osutils.make_readonly and
3274
osutils.make_writeable. This makes the difftools plugin more
3275
robust when dangling symlinks are found. (Elliot Murphy)
3277
* New ``-Dlock`` option to log (to ~/.bzr.log) information on when
3278
lockdirs are taken or released. (Martin Pool)
3280
* ``bzrlib`` Hooks are now nameable using ``Hooks.name_hook``. This
3281
allows a nicer UI when hooks are running as the current hook can
3282
be displayed. (Robert Collins)
3284
* ``Transport.get`` has had its interface made more clear for ease of use.
3285
Retrieval of a directory must now fail with either 'PathError' at open
3286
time, or raise 'ReadError' on a read. (Robert Collins)
3288
* New method ``_maybe_expand_globs`` on the ``Command`` class for
3289
dealing with unexpanded glob lists - e.g. on the win32 platform. This
3290
was moved from ``bzrlib.add._prepare_file_list``. (Robert Collins)
3292
* ``bzrlib.add.smart_add`` and ``bzrlib.add.smart_add_tree`` are now
3293
deprecated in favour of ``MutableTree.smart_add``. (Robert Collins,
3296
* New method ``external_url`` on Transport for obtaining the url to
3297
hand to external processes. (Robert Collins)
3299
* Teach windows installers to build pyrex/C extensions.
3300
(Alexander Belchenko)
3304
* Removed the ``--keep-output`` option from selftest and clean up test
3305
directories as they're used. This reduces the IO load from
3306
running the test suite and cuts the time by about half.
3307
(Andrew Bennetts, Martin Pool)
3309
* Add scenarios as a public attribute on the TestAdapter classes to allow
3310
modification of the generated scenarios before adaption and easier
3311
testing. (Robert Collins)
3313
* New testing support class ``TestScenarioApplier`` which multiplies
3314
out a single teste by a list of supplied scenarios. (RobertCollins)
3316
* Setting ``repository_to_test_repository`` on a repository_implementations
3317
test will cause it to be called during repository creation, allowing the
3318
testing of repository classes which are not based around the Format
3319
concept. For example a repository adapter can be tested in this manner,
3320
by altering the repository scenarios to include a scenario that sets this
3321
attribute during the test parameterisation in
3322
``bzrlib.tests.repository.repository_implementations``. (Robert Collins)
3324
* Clean up many of the APIs for blackbox testing of Bazaar. The standard
3325
interface is now self.run_bzr. The command to run can be passed as
3326
either a list of parameters, a string containing the command line, or
3327
(deprecated) varargs parameters. (Martin Pool)
3329
* The base TestCase now isolates tests from -D parameters by clearing
3330
``debug.debug_flags`` and restores it afterwards. (Robert Collins)
3332
* Add a relpath parameter to get_transport methods in test framework to
3333
avoid useless cloning.
3334
(Vincent Ladeuil, #110448)
3338
--------------------
3342
* Fix crash of commit due to wrong lookup of filesystem encoding.
3343
(Colin Watson, #120647)
3345
* Revert logging just to stderr in commit as broke unicode filenames.
3346

bzr 0.17rc1 2007-06-12
3350
-----------------------
3352
NOTES WHEN UPGRADING:
3354
* The kind() and is_executable() APIs on the WorkingTree interface no
3355
longer implicitly (read) locks and unlocks the tree. This *might*
3356
impact some plug-ins and tools using this part of the API. If you find
3357
an issue that may be caused by this change, please let us know,
3358
particularly the plug-in/tool maintainer. If encountered, the API
3359
fix is to surround kind() and is_executable() calls with lock_read()
3360
and unlock() like so::
3362
work_tree.lock_read()
3364
kind = work_tree.kind(...)
3369
* Rework of LogFormatter API to provide beginning/end of log hooks and to
3370
encapsulate the details of the revision to be logged in a LogRevision
3372
In long log formats, merge revision ids are only shown when --show-ids
3373
is specified, and are labelled "revision-id:", as per mainline
3374
revisions, instead of "merged:". (Kent Gibson)
3376
* New ``BranchBuilder`` API which allows the construction of particular
3377
histories quickly. Useful for testing and potentially other applications
3378
too. (Robert Collins)
3382
* There are two new help topics, working-trees and repositories that
3383
attempt to explain these concepts. (James Westby, John Arbash Meinel,
3386
* Added ``bzr log --limit`` to report a limited number of revisions.
3387
(Kent Gibson, #3659)
3389
* Revert does not try to preserve file contents that were originally
3390
produced by reverting to a historical revision. (Aaron Bentley)
3392
* ``bzr log --short`` now includes ``[merge]`` for revisions which
3393
have more than one parent. This is a small improvement to help
3394
understanding what changes have occurred
3395
(John Arbash Meinel, #83887)
3397
* TreeTransform avoids many renames when contructing large trees,
3398
improving speed. 3.25x speedups have been observed for construction of
3399
kernel-sized-trees, and checkouts are 1.28x faster. (Aaron Bentley)
3401
* Commit on large trees is now faster. In my environment, a commit of
3402
a small change to the Mozilla tree (55k files) has dropped from
3403
66 seconds to 32 seconds. For a small tree of 600 files, commit of a
3404
small change is 33% faster. (Ian Clatworthy)
3406
* New --create-prefix option to bzr init, like for push. (Daniel Watkins,
3411
* ``bzr push`` should only connect to the remote location one time.
3412
We have been connecting 3 times because we forget to pass around
3413
the Transport object. This adds ``BzrDir.clone_on_transport()``, so
3414
that we can pass in the Transport that we already have.
3415
(John Arbash Meinel, #75721)
3417
* ``DirState.set_state_from_inventory()`` needs to properly order
3418
based on split paths, not just string paths.
3419
(John Arbash Meinel, #115947)
3421
* Let TestUIFactoy encode the password prompt with its own stdout.
3422
(Vincent Ladeuil, #110204)
3424
* pycurl should take use the range header that takes the range hint
3426
(Vincent Ladeuil, #112719)
3428
* WorkingTree4.get_file_sha1 no longer raises an exception when invoked
3429
on a missing file. (Aaron Bentley, #118186)
3431
* WorkingTree.remove works correctly with tree references, and when pwd is
3432
not the tree root. (Aaron Bentley)
3434
* Merge no longer fails when a file is renamed in one tree and deleted
3435
in the other. (Aaron Bentley, #110279)
3437
* ``revision-info`` now accepts dotted revnos, doesn't require a tree,
3438
and defaults to the last revision (Matthew Fuller, #90048)
3440
* Tests no longer fail when BZR_REMOTE_PATH is set in the environment.
3441
(Daniel Watkins, #111958)
3443
* ``bzr branch -r revid:foo`` can be used to branch any revision in
3444
your repository. (Previously Branch6 only supported revisions in your
3445
mainline). (John Arbash Meinel, #115343)
3448
--------------------
3452
* Handle when you have 2 directories with similar names, but one has a
3453
hyphen. (``'abc'`` versus ``'abc-2'``). The WT4._iter_changes
3454
iterator was using direct comparison and ``'abc/a'`` sorts after
3455
``'abc-2'``, but ``('abc', 'a')`` sorts before ``('abc-2',)``.
3456
(John Arbash Meinel, #111227)
3458
* Handle when someone renames a file on disk without telling bzr.
3459
Previously we would report the first file as missing, but not show
3460
the new unknown file. (John Arbash Meinel, #111288)
3462
* Avoid error when running hooks after pulling into or pushing from
3463
a branch bound to a smartserver branch. (Martin Pool, #111968)
3467
* Move developer documentation to doc/developers/. This reduces clutter in
3468
the root of the source tree and allows HACKING to be split into multiple
3469
files. (Robert Collins, Alexander Belchenko)
3471
* Clean up the ``WorkingTree4._iter_changes()`` internal loops as well as
3472
``DirState.update_entry()``. This optimizes the core logic for ``bzr
3473
diff`` and ``bzr status`` significantly improving the speed of
3474
both. (John Arbash Meinel)
3476
bzr 0.16rc2 2007-04-30
3477
-----------------------
3481
* Handle the case when you delete a file, and then rename another file
3482
on top of it. Also handle the case of ``bzr rm --keep foo``. ``bzr
3483
status`` should show the removed file and an unknown file in its
3484
place. (John Arbash Meinel, #109993)
3486
* Bundles properly read and write revision properties that have an
3487
empty value. And when the value is not ASCII.
3488
(John Arbash Meinel, #109613)
3490
* Fix the bzr commit message to be in text mode.
3491
(Alexander Belchenko, #110901)
3493
* Also handle when you rename a file and create a file where it used
3494
to be. (John Arbash Meinel, #110256)
3496
* ``WorkingTree4._iter_changes`` should not descend into unversioned
3497
directories. (John Arbash Meinel, #110399)
3499
bzr 0.16rc1 2007-04-26
3500
-----------------------
3502
NOTES WHEN UPGRADING:
3504
* ``bzr remove`` and ``bzr rm`` will now remove the working file, if
3505
it could be recovered again.
3506
This has been done for consistency with svn and the unix rm command.
3507
The old ``remove`` behaviour has been retained in the new option
3508
``bzr remove --keep``, which will just stop versioning the file,
3510
``bzr remove --force`` have been added which will always delete the
3512
``bzr remove`` is also more verbose.
3513
(Marius Kruger, #82602)
3517
* Merge directives can now be supplied as input to `merge` and `pull`,
3518
like bundles can. (Aaron Bentley)
3520
* Sending the SIGQUIT signal to bzr, which can be done on Unix by
3521
pressing Control-Backslash, drops bzr into a debugger. Type ``'c'``
3522
to continue. This can be disabled by setting the environment variable
3523
``BZR_SIGQUIT_PDB=0``. (Martin Pool)
3525
* selftest now supports --list-only to list tests instead of running
3526
them. (Ian Clatworthy)
3528
* selftest now supports --exclude PATTERN (or -x PATTERN) to exclude
3529
tests with names that match that regular expression.
3530
(Ian Clatworthy, #102679)
3532
* selftest now supports --randomize SEED to run tests in a random order.
3533
SEED is typically the value 'now' meaning 'use the current time'.
3534
(Ian Clatworthy, #102686)
3536
* New option ``--fixes`` to commit, which stores bug fixing annotations as
3537
revision properties. Built-in support for Launchpad, Debian, Trac and
3538
Bugzilla bug trackers. (Jonathan Lange, James Henstridge, Robert Collins)
3540
* New API, ``bzrlib.bugtracker.tracker_registry``, for adding support for
3541
other bug trackers to ``fixes``. (Jonathan Lange, James Henstridge,
3544
* ``selftest`` has new short options ``-f`` and ``-1``. (Martin
3547
* ``bzrlib.tsort.MergeSorter`` optimizations. Change the inner loop
3548
into using local variables instead of going through ``self._var``.
3549
Improves the time to ``merge_sort`` a 10k revision graph by
3550
approximately 40% (~700->400ms). (John Arbash Meinel)
3552
* ``make docs`` now creates a man page at ``man1/bzr.1`` fixing bug 107388.
3555
* ``bzr help`` now provides cross references to other help topics using
3556
the _see_also facility on command classes. Likewise the bzr_man
3557
documentation, and the bzr.1 man page also include this information.
3560
* Tags are now included in logs, that use the long log formatter.
3561
(Erik Bågfors, Alexander Belchenko)
3563
* ``bzr help`` provides a clearer message when a help topic cannot be
3564
found. (Robert Collins, #107656)
3566
* ``bzr help`` now accepts optional prefixes for command help. The help
3567
for all commands can now be found at ``bzr help commands/COMMANDNAME``
3568
as well as ``bzr help COMMANDNAME`` (which only works for commands
3569
where the name is not the same as a more general help topic).
3572
* ``bzr help PLUGINNAME`` will now return the module docstring from the
3573
plugin PLUGINNAME. (Robert Collins, #50408)
3575
* New help topic ``urlspec`` which lists the availables transports.
3576
(Goffredo Baroncelli)
3578
* doc/server.txt updated to document the default bzr:// port
3579
and also update the blurb about the hpss' current status.
3580
(Robert Collins, #107125).
3582
* ``bzr serve`` now listens on interface 0.0.0.0 by default, making it
3583
serve out to the local LAN (and anyone in the world that can reach the
3584
machine running ``bzr serve``. (Robert Collins, #98918)
3586
* A new smart server protocol version has been added. It prefixes requests
3587
and responses with an explicit version identifier so that future protocol
3588
revisions can be dealt with gracefully. (Andrew Bennetts, Robert Collins)
3590
* The bzr protocol version 2 indicates success or failure in every response
3591
without depending on particular commands encoding that consistently,
3592
allowing future client refactorings to be much more robust about error
3593
handling. (Robert Collins, Martin Pool, Andrew Bennetts)
3595
* The smart protocol over HTTP client has been changed to always post to the
3596
same ``.bzr/smart`` URL under the original location when it can. This allows
3597
HTTP servers to only have to pass URLs ending in .bzr/smart to the smart
3598
server handler, and not arbitrary ``.bzr/*/smart`` URLs. (Andrew Bennetts)
3600
* digest authentication is now supported for proxies and HTTP by the urllib
3601
based http implementation. Tested against Apache 2.0.55 and Squid
3602
2.6.5. Basic and digest authentication are handled coherently for HTTP
3603
and proxy: if the user is provided in the url (bzr command line for HTTP,
3604
proxy environment variables for proxies), the password is prompted for
3605
(only once). If the password is provided, it is taken into account. Once
3606
the first authentication is successful, all further authentication
3607
roundtrips are avoided by preventively setting the right authentication
3613
* bzrlib API compatability with 0.8 has been dropped, cleaning up some
3614
code paths. (Robert Collins)
3616
* Change the format of chroot urls so that they can be safely manipulated
3617
by generic url utilities without causing the resulting urls to have
3618
escaped the chroot. A side effect of this is that creating a chroot
3619
requires an explicit action using a ChrootServer.
3620
(Robert Collins, Andrew Bennetts)
3622
* Deprecate ``Branch.get_root_id()`` because branches don't have root ids,
3623
rather than fixing bug #96847. (Aaron Bentley)
3625
* ``WorkingTree.apply_inventory_delta`` provides a better alternative to
3626
``WorkingTree._write_inventory``. (Aaron Bentley)
3628
* Convenience method ``TestCase.expectFailure`` ensures that known failures
3629
do not silently pass. (Aaron Bentley)
3631
* ``Transport.local_abspath`` now raises ``NotLocalUrl`` rather than
3632
``TransportNotPossible``. (Martin Pool, Ian Clatworthy)
3634
* New SmartServer hooks facility. There are two initial hooks documented
3635
in ``bzrlib.transport.smart.SmartServerHooks``. The two initial hooks allow
3636
plugins to execute code upon server startup and shutdown.
3639
* SmartServer in standalone mode will now close its listening socket
3640
when it stops, rather than waiting for garbage collection. This primarily
3641
fixes test suite hangs when a test tries to connect to a shutdown server.
3642
It may also help improve behaviour when dealing with a server running
3643
on a specific port (rather than dynamically assigned ports).
3646
* Move most SmartServer code into a new package, bzrlib/smart.
3647
bzrlib/transport/remote.py contains just the Transport classes that used
3648
to be in bzrlib/transport/smart.py. (Andrew Bennetts)
3650
* urllib http implementation avoid roundtrips associated with
3651
401 (and 407) errors once the authentication succeeds.
3654
* urlib http now supports querying the user for a proxy password if
3655
needed. Realm is shown in the prompt for both HTTP and proxy
3656
authentication when the user is required to type a password.
3659
* Renamed SmartTransport (and subclasses like SmartTCPTransport) to
3660
RemoteTransport (and subclasses to RemoteTCPTransport, etc). This is more
3661
consistent with its new home in ``bzrlib/transport/remote.py``, and because
3662
it's not really a "smart" transport, just one that does file operations
3663
via remote procedure calls. (Andrew Bennetts)
3665
* The ``lock_write`` method of ``LockableFiles``, ``Repository`` and
3666
``Branch`` now accept a ``token`` keyword argument, so that separate
3667
instances of those objects can share a lock if it has the right token.
3668
(Andrew Bennetts, Robert Collins)
3670
* New method ``get_branch_reference`` on ``BzrDir`` allows the detection of
3671
branch references - which the smart server component needs.
3673
* The Repository API ``make_working_trees`` is now permitted to return
3674
False when ``set_make_working_trees`` is not implemented - previously
3675
an unimplemented ``set_make_working_trees`` implied the result True
3676
from ``make_working_trees``. This has been changed to accomodate the
3677
smart server, where it does not make sense (at this point) to ever
3678
make working trees by default. (Robert Collins)
3680
* Command objects can now declare related help topics by having _see_also
3681
set to a list of related topic. (Robert Collins)
3683
* ``bzrlib.help`` now delegates to the Command class for Command specific
3684
help. (Robert Collins)
3686
* New class ``TransportListRegistry``, derived from the Registry class, which
3687
simplifies tracking the available Transports. (Goffredo Baroncelli)
3689
* New function ``Branch.get_revision_id_to_revno_map`` which will
3690
return a dictionary mapping revision ids to dotted revnos. Since
3691
dotted revnos are defined in the context of the branch tip, it makes
3692
sense to generate them from a ``Branch`` object.
3693
(John Arbash Meinel)
3695
* Fix the 'Unprintable error' message display to use the repr of the
3696
exception that prevented printing the error because the str value
3697
for it is often not useful in debugging (e.g. KeyError('foo') has a
3698
str() of 'foo' but a repr of 'KeyError('foo')' which is much more
3699
useful. (Robert Collins)
3701
* ``urlutils.normalize_url`` now unescapes unreserved characters, such as "~".
3706
* Don't fail bundle selftest if email has 'two' embedded.
3707
(Ian Clatworthy, #98510)
3709
* Remove ``--verbose`` from ``bzr bundle``. It didn't work anyway.
3710
(Robert Widhopf-Fenk, #98591)
3712
* Remove ``--basis`` from the checkout/branch commands - it didn't work
3713
properly and is no longer beneficial.
3714
(Robert Collins, #53675, #43486)
3716
* Don't produce encoding error when adding duplicate files.
3719
* Fix ``bzr log <file>`` so it only logs the revisions that changed
3720
the file, and does it faster.
3721
(Kent Gibson, John Arbash Meinel, #51980, #69477)
3723
* Fix ``InterDirstateTre._iter_changes`` to handle when we come across
3724
an empty versioned directory, which now has files in it.
3725
(John Arbash Meinel, #104257)
3727
* Teach ``common_ancestor`` to shortcut when the tip of one branch is
3728
inside the ancestry of the other. Saves a lot of graph processing
3729
(with an ancestry of 16k revisions, ``bzr merge ../already-merged``
3730
changes from 2m10s to 13s). (John Arbash Meinel, #103757)
3732
* Fix ``show_diff_trees`` to handle the case when a file is modified,
3733
and the containing directory is renamed. (The file path is different
3734
in this versus base, but it isn't marked as a rename).
3735
(John Arbash Meinel, #103870)
3737
* FTP now works even when the FTP server does not support atomic rename.
3738
(Aaron Bentley, #89436)
3740
* Correct handling in bundles and merge directives of timezones with
3741
that are not an integer number of hours offset from UTC. Always
3742
represent the epoch time in UTC to avoid problems with formatting
3743
earlier times on win32. (Martin Pool, Alexander Belchenko, John
3746
* Typo in the help for ``register-branch`` fixed. (Robert Collins, #96770)
3748
* "dirstate" and "dirstate-tags" formats now produce branches compatible
3749
with old versions of bzr. (Aaron Bentley, #107168))
3751
* Handle moving a directory when children have been added, removed,
3752
and renamed. (John Arbash Meinel, #105479)
3754
* Don't preventively use basic authentication for proxy before receiving a
3755
407 error. Otherwise people willing to use other authentication schemes
3756
may expose their password in the clear (or nearly). This add one
3757
roundtrip in case basic authentication should be used, but plug the
3761
* Handle http and proxy digest authentication.
3762
(Vincent Ladeuil, #94034).
3766
* Added ``bzrlib.strace.strace`` which will strace a single callable and
3767
return a StraceResult object which contains just the syscalls involved
3768
in running it. (Robert Collins)
3770
* New test method ``reduceLockdirTimeout`` to drop the default (ui-centric)
3771
default time down to one suitable for tests. (Andrew Bennetts)
3773
* Add new ``vfs_transport_factory`` attribute on tests which provides the
3774
common vfs backing for both the readonly and readwrite transports.
3775
This allows the RemoteObject tests to back onto local disk or memory,
3776
and use the existing ``transport_server`` attribute all tests know about
3777
to be the smart server transport. This in turn allows tests to
3778
differentiate between 'transport to access the branch', and
3779
'transport which is a VFS' - which matters in Remote* tests.
3780
(Robert Collins, Andrew Bennetts)
3782
* The ``make_branch_and_tree`` method for tests will now create a
3783
lightweight checkout for the tree if the ``vfs_transport_factory`` is not
3784
a LocalURLServer. (Robert Collins, Andrew Bennetts)
3786
* Branch implementation tests have been audited to ensure that all urls
3787
passed to Branch APIs use proper urls, except when local-disk paths
3788
are intended. This is so that tests correctly access the test transport
3789
which is often not equivalent to local disk in Remote* tests. As part
3790
of this many tests were adjusted to remove dependencies on local disk
3792
(Robert Collins, Andrew Bennetts)
3794
* Mark bzrlib.tests and bzrlib.tests.TestUtil as providing assertFOO helper
3795
functions by adding a ``__unittest`` global attribute. (Robert Collins,
3796
Andrew Bennetts, Martin Pool, Jonathan Lange)
3798
* Refactored proxy and authentication handling to simplify the
3799
implementation of new auth schemes for both http and proxy.
3807
* Handle incompatible repositories as a user issue when fetching.
3810
* Don't give a recommendation to upgrade when branching or
3811
checking out a branch that contains an old-format working tree.
3814
bzr 0.15rc3 2007-03-26
3815
-----------------------
3819
* A warning is now displayed when opening working trees in older
3820
formats, to encourage people to upgrade to WorkingTreeFormat4.
3825
* HTTP redirections are now taken into account when a branch (or a
3826
bundle) is accessed for the first time. A message is issued at each
3827
redirection to inform the user. In the past, http redirections were
3828
silently followed for each request which significantly degraded the
3829
performances. The http redirections are not followed anymore by
3830
default, instead a RedirectRequested exception is raised. For bzrlib
3831
users needing to follow http redirections anyway,
3832
``bzrlib.transport.do_catching_redirections`` provide an easy transition
3837
* Added ``ReadLock.temporary_write_lock()`` to allow upgrading an OS read
3838
lock to an OS write lock. Linux can do this without unlocking, Win32
3839
needs to unlock in between. (John Arbash Meinel)
3841
* New parameter ``recommend_upgrade`` to ``BzrDir.open_workingtree``
3842
to silence (when false) warnings about opening old formats.
3845
* Fix minor performance regression with bzr-0.15 on pre-dirstate
3846
trees. (We were reading the working inventory too many times).
3847
(John Arbash Meinel)
3849
* Remove ``Branch.get_transaction()`` in favour of a simple cache of
3850
``revision_history``. Branch subclasses should override
3851
``_gen_revision_history`` rather than ``revision_history`` to make use of
3852
this cache, and call ``_clear_revision_history_cache`` and
3853
``_cache_revision_history`` at appropriate times. (Andrew Bennetts)
3857
* Take ``smtp_server`` from user config into account.
3860
* Restore Unicode filename handling for versioned and unversioned files.
3861
(John Arbash Meinel, #92608)
3863
* Don't fail during ``bzr commit`` if a file is marked removed, and
3864
the containing directory is auto-removed. (John Arbash Meinel, #93681)
3866
* ``bzr status FILENAME`` failed on Windows because of an uncommon
3867
errno. (``ERROR_DIRECTORY == 267 != ENOTDIR``).
3868
(Wouter van Heyst, John Arbash Meinel, #90819)
3870
* ``bzr checkout source`` should create a local branch in the same
3871
format as source. (John Arbash Meinel, #93854)
3873
* ``bzr commit`` with a kind change was failing to update the
3874
last-changed-revision for directories. The
3875
InventoryDirectory._unchanged only looked at the ``parent_id`` and name,
3876
ignoring the fact that the kind could have changed, too.
3877
(John Arbash Meinel, #90111)
3879
* ``bzr mv dir/subdir other`` was incorrectly updating files inside
3880
the directory. So that there was a chance it would break commit,
3881
etc. (John Arbash Meinel, #94037)
3883
* Correctly handles mutiple permanent http redirections.
3886
bzr 0.15rc2 2007-03-14
3887
-----------------------
3889
NOTES WHEN UPGRADING:
3891
* Release 0.15rc2 of bzr changes the ``bzr init-repo`` command to
3892
default to ``--trees`` instead of ``--no-trees``.
3893
Existing shared repositories are not affected.
3897
* New ``merge-directive`` command to generate machine- and human-readable
3898
merge requests. (Aaron Bentley)
3900
* New ``submit:`` revision specifier makes it easy to diff against the
3901
common ancestor with the submit location (Aaron Bentley)
3903
* Added support for Putty's SSH implementation. (Dmitry Vasiliev)
3905
* Added ``bzr status --versioned`` to report only versioned files,
3906
not unknowns. (Kent Gibson)
3908
* Merge now autodetects the correct line-ending style for its conflict
3909
markers. (Aaron Bentley)
3913
* Refactored SSH vendor registration into SSHVendorManager class.
3918
* New ``--numbered-dirs`` option to ``bzr selftest`` to use
3919
numbered dirs for TestCaseInTempDir. This is default behavior
3920
on Windows. Anyone can force named dirs on Windows
3921
with ``--no-numbered-dirs``. (Alexander Belchenko)
3923
* Fix ``RevisionSpec_revid`` to handle the Unicode strings passed in
3924
from the command line. (Marien Zwart, #90501)
3926
* Fix ``TreeTransform._iter_changes`` when both the source and
3927
destination are missing. (Aaron Bentley, #88842)
3929
* Fix commit of merges with symlinks in dirstate trees.
3932
* Switch the ``bzr init-repo`` default from --no-trees to --trees.
3933
(Wouter van Heyst, #53483)
3936
bzr 0.15rc1 2007-03-07
3937
-----------------------
3941
* The default disk format has changed. Please run 'bzr upgrade' in your
3942
working trees to upgrade. This new default is compatible for network
3943
operations, but not for local operations. That is, if you have two
3944
versions of bzr installed locally, after upgrading you can only use the
3945
bzr 0.15 version. This new default does not enable tags or nested-trees
3946
as they are incompatible with bzr versions before 0.15 over the network.
3948
* For users of bzrlib: Two major changes have been made to the working tree
3949
api in bzrlib. The first is that many methods and attributes, including
3950
the inventory attribute, are no longer valid for use until one of
3951
``lock_read``/``lock_write``/``lock_tree_write`` has been called,
3952
and become invalid again after unlock is called. This has been done
3953
to improve performance and correctness as part of the dirstate
3955
(Robert Collins, John A Meinel, Martin Pool, and others).
3957
* For users of bzrlib: The attribute 'tree.inventory' should be considered
3958
readonly. Previously it was possible to directly alter this attribute, or
3959
its contents, and have the tree notice this. This has been made
3960
unsupported - it may work in some tree formats, but in the newer dirstate
3961
format such actions will have no effect and will be ignored, or even
3962
cause assertions. All operations possible can still be carried out by a
3963
combination of the tree API, and the bzrlib.transform API. (Robert
3964
Collins, John A Meinel, Martin Pool, and others).
3968
* Support for OS Windows 98. Also .bzr.log on any windows system
3969
saved in My Documents folder. (Alexander Belchenko)
3971
* ``bzr mv`` enhanced to support already moved files.
3972
In the past the mv command would have failed if the source file doesn't
3973
exist. In this situation ``bzr mv`` would now detect that the file has
3974
already moved and update the repository accordingly, if the target file
3976
A new option ``--after`` has been added so that if two files already
3977
exist, you could notify Bazaar that you have moved a (versioned) file
3978
and replaced it with another. Thus in this case ``bzr move --after``
3979
will only update the Bazaar identifier.
3980
(Steffen Eichenberg, Marius Kruger)
3982
* ``ls`` now works on treeless branches and remote branches.
3985
* ``bzr help global-options`` describes the global options.
3988
* ``bzr pull --overwrite`` will now correctly overwrite checkouts.
3991
* Files are now allowed to change kind (e.g. from file to symlink).
3992
Supported by ``commit``, ``revert`` and ``status``
3995
* ``inventory`` and ``unknowns`` hidden in favour of ``ls``
3998
* ``bzr help checkouts`` descibes what checkouts are and some possible
3999
uses of them. (James Westby, Aaron Bentley)
4001
* A new ``-d`` option to push, pull and merge overrides the default
4002
directory. (Martin Pool)
4004
* Branch format 6: smaller, and potentially faster than format 5. Supports
4005
``append_history_only`` mode, where the log view and revnos do not change,
4006
except by being added to. Stores policy settings in
4007
".bzr/branch/branch.conf".
4009
* ``append_only`` branches: Format 6 branches may be configured so that log
4010
view and revnos are always consistent. Either create the branch using
4011
"bzr init --append-revisions-only" or edit the config file as descriped
4012
in docs/configuration.txt.
4014
* rebind: Format 6 branches retain the last-used bind location, so if you
4015
"bzr unbind", you can "bzr bind" to bind to the previously-selected
4018
* Builtin tags support, created and deleted by the ``tag`` command and
4019
stored in the branch. Tags can be accessed with the revisionspec
4020
``-rtag:``, and listed with ``bzr tags``. Tags are not versioned
4021
at present. Tags require a network incompatible upgrade. To perform this
4022
upgrade, run ``bzr upgrade --dirstate-tags`` in your branch and
4023
repositories. (Martin Pool)
4025
* The ``bzr://`` transport now has a well-known port number, 4155,
4026
which it will use by default. (Andrew Bennetts, Martin Pool)
4028
* Bazaar now looks for user-installed plugins before looking for site-wide
4029
plugins. (Jonathan Lange)
4031
* ``bzr resolve`` now detects and marks resolved text conflicts.
4036
* Internally revision ids and file ids are now passed around as utf-8
4037
bytestrings, rather than treating them as Unicode strings. This has
4038
performance benefits for Knits, since we no longer need to decode the
4039
revision id for each line of content, nor for each entry in the index.
4040
This will also help with the future dirstate format.
4041
(John Arbash Meinel)
4043
* Reserved ids (any revision-id ending in a colon) are rejected by
4044
versionedfiles, repositories, branches, and working trees
4047
* Minor performance improvement by not creating a ProgressBar for
4048
every KnitIndex we create. (about 90ms for a bzr.dev tree)
4049
(John Arbash Meinel)
4051
* New easier to use Branch hooks facility. There are five initial hooks,
4052
all documented in bzrlib.branch.BranchHooks.__init__ - ``'set_rh'``,
4053
``'post_push'``, ``'post_pull'``, ``'post_commit'``,
4054
``'post_uncommit'``. These hooks fire after the matching operation
4055
on a branch has taken place, and were originally added for the
4056
branchrss plugin. (Robert Collins)
4058
* New method ``Branch.push()`` which should be used when pushing from a
4059
branch as it makes performance and policy decisions to match the UI
4060
level command ``push``. (Robert Collins).
4062
* Add a new method ``Tree.revision_tree`` which allows access to cached
4063
trees for arbitrary revisions. This allows the in development dirstate
4064
tree format to provide access to the callers to cached copies of
4065
inventory data which are cheaper to access than inventories from the
4067
(Robert Collins, Martin Pool)
4069
* New ``Branch.last_revision_info`` method, this is being done to allow
4070
optimization of requests for both the number of revisions and the last
4071
revision of a branch with smartservers and potentially future branch
4072
formats. (Wouter van Heyst, Robert Collins)
4074
* Allow ``'import bzrlib.plugins.NAME'`` to work when the plugin NAME has not
4075
yet been loaded by ``load_plugins()``. This allows plugins to depend on each
4076
other for code reuse without requiring users to perform file-renaming
4077
gymnastics. (Robert Collins)
4079
* New Repository method ``'gather_stats'`` for statistic data collection.
4080
This is expected to grow to cover a number of related uses mainly
4081
related to bzr info. (Robert Collins)
4083
* Log formatters are now managed with a registry.
4084
``log.register_formatter`` continues to work, but callers accessing
4085
the FORMATTERS dictionary directly will not.
4087
* Allow a start message to be passed to the ``edit_commit_message``
4088
function. This will be placed in the message offered to the user
4089
for editing above the separator. It allows a template commit message
4090
to be used more easily. (James Westby)
4092
* ``GPGStrategy.sign()`` will now raise ``BzrBadParameterUnicode`` if
4093
you pass a Unicode string rather than an 8-bit string. Callers need
4094
to be updated to encode first. (John Arbash Meinel)
4096
* Branch.push, pull, merge now return Result objects with information
4097
about what happened, rather than a scattering of various methods. These
4098
are also passed to the post hooks. (Martin Pool)
4100
* File formats and architecture is in place for managing a forest of trees
4101
in bzr, and splitting up existing trees into smaller subtrees, and
4102
finally joining trees to make a larger tree. This is the first iteration
4103
of this support, and the user-facing aspects still require substantial
4104
work. If you wish to experiment with it, use ``bzr upgrade
4105
--dirstate-with-subtree`` in your working trees and repositories.
4106
You can use the hidden commands ``split`` and ``join`` and to create
4107
and manipulate nested trees, but please consider using the nested-trees
4108
branch, which contains substantial UI improvements, instead.
4109
http://code.aaronbentley.com/bzr/bzrrepo/nested-trees/
4110
(Aaron Bentley, Martin Pool, Robert Collins).
4114
* ``bzr annotate`` now uses dotted revnos from the viewpoint of the
4115
branch, rather than the last changed revision of the file.
4116
(John Arbash Meinel, #82158)
4118
* Lock operations no longer hang if they encounter a permission problem.
4121
* ``bzr push`` can resume a push that was canceled before it finished.
4122
Also, it can push even if the target directory exists if you supply
4123
the ``--use-existing-dir`` flag.
4124
(John Arbash Meinel, #30576, #45504)
4126
* Fix http proxy authentication when user and an optional
4127
password appears in the ``*_proxy`` vars. (Vincent Ladeuil,
4130
* ``bzr log branch/file`` works for local treeless branches
4131
(Aaron Bentley, #84247)
4133
* Fix problem with UNC paths on Windows 98. (Alexander Belchenko, #84728)
4135
* Searching location of CA bundle for PyCurl in env variable
4136
(``CURL_CA_BUNDLE``), and on win32 along the PATH.
4137
(Alexander Belchenko, #82086)
4139
* ``bzr init`` works with unicode argument LOCATION.
4140
(Alexander Belchenko, #85599)
4142
* Raise ``DependencyNotPresent`` if pycurl do not support https.
4143
(Vincent Ladeuil, #85305)
4145
* Invalid proxy env variables should not cause a traceback.
4146
(Vincent Ladeuil, #87765)
4148
* Ignore patterns normalised to use '/' path separator.
4149
(Kent Gibson, #86451)
4151
* bzr rocks. It sure does! Fix case. (Vincent Ladeuil, #78026)
4153
* Fix bzrtools shelve command for removed lines beginning with "--"
4154
(Johan Dahlberg, #75577)
4158
* New ``--first`` option to ``bzr selftest`` to run specified tests
4159
before the rest of the suite. (Martin Pool)
4163
--------------------
4167
* ``bzr help global-options`` describes the global options. (Aaron Bentley)
4171
* Skip documentation generation tests if the tools to do so are not
4172
available. Fixes running selftest for installled copies of bzr.
4173
(John Arbash Meinel, #80330)
4175
* Fix the code that discovers whether bzr is being run from it's
4176
working tree to handle the case when it isn't but the directory
4177
it is in is below a repository. (James Westby, #77306)
4180
bzr 0.14rc1 2007-01-16
4181
-----------------------
4185
* New connection: ``bzr+http://`` which supports tunnelling the smart
4186
protocol over an HTTP connection. If writing is enabled on the bzr
4187
server, then you can write over the http connection.
4188
(Andrew Bennetts, John Arbash Meinel)
4190
* Aliases now support quotation marks, so they can contain whitespace
4193
* PyCurlTransport now use a single curl object. By specifying explicitly
4194
the 'Range' header, we avoid the need to use two different curl objects
4195
(and two connections to the same server). (Vincent Ladeuil)
4197
* ``bzr commit`` does not prompt for a message until it is very likely to
4198
succeed. (Aaron Bentley)
4200
* ``bzr conflicts`` now takes --text to list pathnames of text conflicts
4203
* Fix ``iter_lines_added_or_present_in_versions`` to use a set instead
4204
of a list while checking if a revision id was requested. Takes 10s
4205
off of the ``fileids_affected_by_revision_ids`` time, which is 10s
4206
of the ``bzr branch`` time. Also improve ``fileids_...`` time by
4207
filtering lines with a regex rather than multiple ``str.find()``
4208
calls. (saves another 300ms) (John Arbash Meinel)
4210
* Policy can be set for each configuration key. This allows keys to be
4211
inherited properly across configuration entries. For example, this
4212
should enable you to do::
4214
[/home/user/project]
4215
push_location = sftp://host/srv/project/
4216
push_location:policy = appendpath
4218
And then a branch like ``/home/user/project/mybranch`` should get an
4219
automatic push location of ``sftp://host/srv/project/mybranch``.
4222
* Added ``bzr status --short`` to make status report svn style flags
4223
for each file. For example::
4225
$ bzr status --short
4231
* 'bzr selftest --clean-output' allows easily clean temporary tests
4232
directories without running tests. (Alexander Belchenko)
4234
* ``bzr help hidden-commands`` lists all hidden commands. (Aaron Bentley)
4236
* ``bzr merge`` now has an option ``--pull`` to fall back to pull if
4237
local is fully merged into remote. (Jan Hudec)
4239
* ``bzr help formats`` describes available directory formats. (Aaron Bentley)
4243
* A few tweaks directly to ``fileids_affected_by_revision_ids`` to
4244
help speed up processing, as well allowing to extract unannotated
4245
lines. Between the two ``fileids_affected_by_revision_ids`` is
4246
improved by approx 10%. (John Arbash Meinel)
4248
* Change Revision serialization to only write out millisecond
4249
resolution. Rather than expecting floating point serialization to
4250
preserve more resolution than we need. (Henri Weichers, Martin Pool)
4252
* Test suite ends cleanly on Windows. (Vincent Ladeuil)
4254
* When ``encoding_type`` attribute of class Command is equal to 'exact',
4255
force sys.stdout to be a binary stream on Windows, and therefore
4256
keep exact line-endings (without LF -> CRLF conversion).
4257
(Alexander Belchenko)
4259
* Single-letter short options are no longer globally declared. (Martin
4262
* Before using detected user/terminal encoding bzr should check
4263
that Python has corresponding codec. (Alexander Belchenko)
4265
* Formats for end-user selection are provided via a FormatRegistry (Aaron Bentley)
4269
* ``bzr missing --verbose`` was showing adds/removals in the wrong
4270
direction. (John Arbash Meinel)
4272
* ``bzr annotate`` now defaults to showing dotted revnos for merged
4273
revisions. It cuts them off at a depth of 12 characters, but you can
4274
supply ``--long`` to see the full number. You can also use
4275
``--show-ids`` to display the original revision ids, rather than
4276
revision numbers and committer names. (John Arbash Meinel, #75637)
4278
* bzr now supports Win32 UNC path (e.g. ``\HOST\path``.
4279
(Alexander Belchenko, #57869)
4281
* Win32-specific: output of cat, bundle and diff commands don't mangle
4282
line-endings (Alexander Belchenko, #55276)
4284
* Replace broken fnmatch based ignore pattern matching with custom pattern
4286
(Kent Gibson, Jan Hudec #57637)
4288
* pycurl and urllib can detect short reads at different places. Update
4289
the test suite to test more cases. Also detect http error code 416
4290
which was raised for that specific bug. Also enhance the urllib
4291
robustness by detecting invalid ranges (and pycurl's one by detecting
4292
short reads during the initial GET). (Vincent Ladeuil, #73948)
4294
* The urllib connection sharing interacts badly with urllib2
4295
proxy setting (the connections didn't go thru the proxy
4296
anymore). Defining a proper ProxyHandler solves the
4297
problem. (Vincent Ladeuil, #74759)
4299
* Use urlutils to generate relative URLs, not osutils
4300
(Aaron Bentley, #76229)
4302
* ``bzr status`` in a readonly directory should work without giving
4303
lots of errors. (John Arbash Meinel, #76299)
4305
* Mention the revisionspec topic for the revision option help.
4306
(Wouter van Heyst, #31663)
4308
* Allow plugins import from zip archives.
4309

No changes from 0.13rc1
4317
bzr 0.13rc1 2006-11-27
4318
-----------------------
4322
* New command ``bzr remove-tree`` allows the removal of the working
4324
(Daniel Silverstone)
4326
* urllib uses shared keep-alive connections, so http
4327
operations are substantially faster.
4328
(Vincent Ladeuil, #53654)
4330
* ``bzr export`` allows an optional branch parameter, to export a bzr
4331
tree from some other url. For example:
4332
``bzr export bzr.tar.gz http://bazaar-vcs.org/bzr/bzr.dev``
4333
(Daniel Silverstone)
4335
* Added ``bzr help topics`` to the bzr help system. This gives a
4336
location for general information, outside of a specific command.
4337
This includes updates for ``bzr help revisionspec`` the first topic
4338
included. (Goffredo Baroncelli, John Arbash Meinel, #42714)
4340
* WSGI-compatible HTTP smart server. See ``doc/http_smart_server.txt``.
4343
* Knit files will now cache full texts only when the size of the
4344
deltas is as large as the size of the fulltext. (Or after 200
4345
deltas, whichever comes first). This has the most benefit on large
4346
files with small changes, such as the inventory for a large project.
4347
(eg For a project with 2500 files, and 7500 revisions, it changes
4348
the size of inventory.knit from 11MB to 5.4MB) (John Arbash Meinel)
4352
* New -D option given before the command line turns on debugging output
4353
for particular areas. -Derror shows tracebacks on all errors.
4356
* Clean up ``bzr selftest --benchmark bundle`` to correct an import,
4357
and remove benchmarks that take longer than 10min to run.
4358
(John Arbash Meinel)
4360
* Use ``time.time()`` instead of ``time.clock()`` to decide on
4361
progress throttling. Because ``time.clock()`` is actually CPU time,
4362
so over a high-latency connection, too many updates get throttled.
4363
(John Arbash Meinel)
4365
* ``MemoryTransport.list_dir()`` would strip the first character for
4366
files or directories in root directory. (John Arbash Meinel)
4368
* New method ``get_branch_reference`` on 'BzrDir' allows the detection of
4369
branch references - which the smart server component needs.
4371
* New ``ChrootTransportDecorator``, accessible via the ``chroot+`` url
4372
prefix. It disallows any access to locations above a set URL. (Andrew
4377
* Now ``_KnitIndex`` properly decode revision ids when loading index data.
4378
And optimize the knit index parsing code.
4379
(Dmitry Vasiliev, John Arbash Meinel)
4381
* ``bzrlib/bzrdir.py`` was directly referencing ``bzrlib.workingtree``,
4382
without importing it. This prevented ``bzr upgrade`` from working
4383
unless a plugin already imported ``bzrlib.workingtree``
4384
(John Arbash Meinel, #70716)
4386
* Suppress the traceback on invalid URLs (Vincent Ladeuil, #70803).
4388
* Give nicer error message when an http server returns a 403
4389
error code. (Vincent Ladeuil, #57644).
4391
* When a multi-range http GET request fails, try a single
4392
range one. If it fails too, forget about ranges. Remember that until
4393
the death of the transport and propagates that to the clones.
4394
(Vincent Ladeuil, #62276, #62029).
4396
* Handles user/passwords supplied in url from command
4397
line (for the urllib implementation). Don't request already
4398
known passwords (Vincent Ladeuil, #42383, #44647, #48527)
4400
* ``_KnitIndex.add_versions()`` dictionary compresses revision ids as they
4401
are added. This fixes bug where fetching remote revisions records
4402
them as full references rather than integers.
4403
(John Arbash Meinel, #64789)
4405
* ``bzr ignore`` strips trailing slashes in patterns.
4406
Also ``bzr ignore`` rejects absolute paths. (Kent Gibson, #4559)
4408
* ``bzr ignore`` takes multiple arguments. (Cheuksan Edward Wang, #29488)
4410
* mv correctly handles paths that traverse symlinks.
4411
(Aaron Bentley, #66964)
4413
* Give nicer looking error messages when failing to connect over ssh.
4414
(John Arbash Meinel, #49172)
4416
* Pushing to a remote branch does not currently update the remote working
4417
tree. After a remote push, ``bzr status`` and ``bzr diff`` on the remote
4418
machine now show that the working tree is out of date.
4419
(Cheuksan Edward Wang #48136)
4421
* Use patiencediff instead of difflib for determining deltas to insert
4422
into knits. This avoids the O(N^3) behavior of difflib. Patience
4423
diff should be O(N^2). (Cheuksan Edward Wang, #65714)
4425
* Running ``bzr log`` on nonexistent file gives an error instead of the
4426
entire log history. (Cheuksan Edward Wang #50793)
4428
* ``bzr cat`` can look up contents of removed or renamed files. If the
4429
pathname is ambiguous, i.e. the files in the old and new trees have
4430
different id's, the default is the file in the new tree. The user can
4431
use "--name-from-revision" to select the file in the old tree.
4432
(Cheuksan Edward Wang, #30190)
4436
* TestingHTTPRequestHandler really handles the Range header
4437
(previously it was ignoring it and returning the whole file,).
4440
--------------------
4444
* Clean up ``bzr selftest --benchmark bundle`` to correct an import,
4445
and remove benchmarks that take longer than 10min to run.
4446
(John Arbash Meinel)
4448
bzr 0.12rc1 2006-10-23
4449
-----------------------
4453
* ``bzr log`` now shows dotted-decimal revision numbers for all revisions,
4454
rather than just showing a decimal revision number for revisions on the
4455
mainline. These revision numbers are not yet accepted as input into bzr
4456
commands such as log, diff etc. (Robert Collins)
4458
* revisions can now be specified using dotted-decimal revision numbers.
4459
For instance, ``bzr diff -r 1.2.1..1.2.3``. (Robert Collins)
4461
* ``bzr help commands`` output is now shorter (Aaron Bentley)
4463
* ``bzr`` now uses lazy importing to reduce the startup time. This has
4464
a moderate effect on lots of actions, especially ones that have
4465
little to do. For example ``bzr rocks`` time is down to 116ms from
4466
283ms. (John Arbash Meinel)
4468
* New Registry class to provide name-to-object registry-like support,
4469
for example for schemes where plugins can register new classes to
4470
do certain tasks (e.g. log formatters). Also provides lazy registration
4471
to allow modules to be loaded on request.
4472
(John Arbash Meinel, Adeodato Simó)
4474
API INCOMPATABILITY:
4476
* LogFormatter subclasses show now expect the 'revno' parameter to
4477
show() to be a string rather than an int. (Robert Collins)
4481
* ``TestCase.run_bzr``, ``run_bzr_captured``, and ``run_bzr_subprocess``
4482
can take a ``working_dir='foo'`` parameter, which will change directory
4483
for the command. (John Arbash Meinel)
4485
* ``bzrlib.lazy_regex.lazy_compile`` can be used to create a proxy
4486
around a regex, which defers compilation until first use.
4487
(John Arbash Meinel)
4489
* ``TestCase.run_bzr_subprocess`` defaults to supplying the
4490
``--no-plugins`` parameter to ensure test reproducability, and avoid
4491
problems with system-wide installed plugins. (John Arbash Meinel)
4493
* Unique tree root ids are now supported. Newly created trees still
4494
use the common root id for compatibility with bzr versions before 0.12.
4497
* ``WorkingTree.set_root_id(None)`` is now deprecated. Please
4498
pass in ``inventory.ROOT_ID`` if you want the default root id value.
4499
(Robert Collins, John Arbash Meinel)
4501
* New method ``WorkingTree.flush()`` which will write the current memory
4502
inventory out to disk. At the same time, ``read_working_inventory`` will
4503
no longer trash the current tree inventory if it has been modified within
4504
the current lock, and the tree will now ``flush()`` automatically on
4505
``unlock()``. ``WorkingTree.set_root_id()`` has been updated to take
4506
advantage of this functionality. (Robert Collins, John Arbash Meinel)
4508
* ``bzrlib.tsort.merge_sorted`` now accepts ``generate_revnos``. This
4509
parameter will cause it to add another column to its output, which
4510
contains the dotted-decimal revno for each revision, as a tuple.
4513
* ``LogFormatter.show_merge`` is deprecated in favour of
4514
``LogFormatter.show_merge_revno``. (Robert Collins)
4518
* Avoid circular imports by creating a deprecated function for
4519
``bzrlib.tree.RevisionTree``. Callers should have been using
4520
``bzrlib.revisontree.RevisionTree`` anyway. (John Arbash Meinel,
4523
* Don't use ``socket.MSG_WAITALL`` as it doesn't exist on all
4524
platforms. (Martin Pool, #66356)
4526
* Don't require ``Content-Type`` in range responses. Assume they are a
4527
single range if ``Content-Type`` does not exist.
4528
(John Arbash Meinel, #62473)
4530
* bzr branch/pull no longer complain about progress bar cleanup when
4531
interrupted during fetch. (Aaron Bentley, #54000)
4533
* ``WorkingTree.set_parent_trees()`` uses the trees to directly write
4534
the basis inventory, rather than going through the repository. This
4535
allows us to have 1 inventory read, and 2 inventory writes when
4536
committing a new tree. (John Arbash Meinel)
4538
* When reverting, files that are not locally modified that do not exist
4539
in the target are deleted, not just unversioned (Aaron Bentley)
4541
* When trying to acquire a lock, don't fail immediately. Instead, try
4542
a few times (up to 1 hour) before timing out. Also, report why the
4543
lock is unavailable (John Arbash Meinel, #43521, #49556)
4545
* Leave HttpTransportBase daughter classes decides how they
4546
implement cloning. (Vincent Ladeuil, #61606)
4548
* diff3 does not indicate conflicts on clean merge. (Aaron Bentley)
4550
* If a commit fails, the commit message is stored in a file at the root of
4551
the tree for later commit. (Cheuksan Edward Wang, Stefan Metzmacher,
4556
* New test base class TestCaseWithMemoryTransport offers memory-only
4557
testing facilities: its not suitable for tests that need to mutate disk
4558
state, but most tests should not need that and should be converted to
4559
TestCaseWithMemoryTransport. (Robert Collins)
4561
* ``TestCase.make_branch_and_memory_tree`` now takes a format
4562
option to set the BzrDir, Repository and Branch formats of the
4563
created objects. (Robert Collins, John Arbash Meinel)
4566
--------------------
4568
* Smart server transport test failures on windows fixed. (Lukáš Lalinský).
4570
bzr 0.11rc2 2006-09-27
4571
-----------------------
4575
* Test suite hangs on windows fixed. (Andrew Bennets, Alexander Belchenko).
4577
* Commit performance regression fixed. (Aaron Bentley, Robert Collins, John
4580
bzr 0.11rc1 2006-09-25
4581
-----------------------
4585
* Knit files now wait to create their contents until the first data is
4586
added. The old code used to create an empty .knit and a .kndx with just
4587
the header. However, this caused a lot of extra round trips over sftp.
4588
This can change the time for ``bzr push`` to create a new remote branch
4589
from 160s down to 100s. This also affects ``bzr commit`` performance when
4590
adding new files, ``bzr commit`` on a new kernel-like tree drops from 50s
4591
down to 40s (John Arbash Meinel, #44692)
4593
* When an entire subtree has been deleted, commit will now report that
4594
just the top of the subtree has been deleted, rather than reporting
4595
all the individual items. (Robert Collins)
4597
* Commit performs one less XML parse. (Robert Collins)
4599
* ``bzr checkout`` now operates on readonly branches as well
4600
as readwrite branches. This fixes bug #39542. (Robert Collins)
4602
* ``bzr bind`` no longer synchronises history with the master branch.
4603
Binding should be followed by an update or push to synchronise the
4604
two branches. This is closely related to the fix for bug #39542.
4607
* ``bzrlib.lazy_import.lazy_import`` function to create on-demand
4608
objects. This allows all imports to stay at the global scope, but
4609
modules will not actually be imported if they are not used.
4610
(John Arbash Meinel)
4612
* Support ``bzr://`` and ``bzr+ssh://`` urls to work with the new RPC-based
4613
transport which will be used with the upcoming high-performance smart
4614
server. The new command ``bzr serve`` will invoke bzr in server mode,
4615
which processes these requests. (Andrew Bennetts, Robert Collins, Martin
4618
* New command ``bzr version-info`` which can be used to get a summary
4619
of the current state of the tree. This is especially useful as part
4620
of a build commands. See ``doc/version_info.txt`` for more information
4621
(John Arbash Meinel)
4625
* ``'bzr inventory [FILE...]'`` allows restricting the file list to a
4626
specific set of files. (John Arbash Meinel, #3631)
4628
* Don't abort when annotating empty files (John Arbash Meinel, #56814)
4630
* Add ``Stanza.to_unicode()`` which can be passed to another Stanza
4631
when nesting stanzas. Also, add ``read_stanza_unicode`` to handle when
4632
reading a nested Stanza. (John Arbash Meinel)
4634
* Transform._set_mode() needs to stat the right file.
4635
(John Arbash Meinel, #56549)
4637
* Raise WeaveFormatError rather than StopIteration when trying to read
4638
an empty Weave file. (John Arbash Meinel, #46871)
4640
* Don't access e.code for generic URLErrors, only HTTPErrors have .code.
4641
(Vincent Ladeuil, #59835)
4643
* Handle boundary="" lines properly to allow access through a Squid proxy.
4644
(John Arbash Meinel, #57723)
4646
* revert now removes newly-added directories (Aaron Bentley, #54172)
4648
* ``bzr upgrade sftp://`` shouldn't fail to upgrade v6 branches if there
4649
isn't a working tree. (David Allouche, #40679)
4651
* Give nicer error messages when a user supplies an invalid --revision
4652
parameter. (John Arbash Meinel, #55420)
4654
* Handle when LANG is not recognized by python. Emit a warning, but
4655
just revert to using 'ascii'. (John Arbash Meinel, #35392)
4657
* Don't use ``preexec_fn`` on win32, as it is not supported by subprocess.
4658
(John Arbash Meinel)
4660
* Skip specific tests when the dependencies aren't met. This includes
4661
some ``setup.py`` tests when ``python-dev`` is not available, and
4662
some tests that depend on paramiko. (John Arbash Meinel, Mattheiu Moy)
4664
* Fallback to Paramiko properly, if no ``ssh`` executable exists on
4665
the system. (Andrew Bennetts, John Arbash Meinel)
4667
* ``Branch.bind(other_branch)`` no longer takes a write lock on the
4668
other branch, and will not push or pull between the two branches.
4669
API users will need to perform a push or pull or update operation if they
4670
require branch synchronisation to take place. (Robert Collins, #47344)
4672
* When creating a tarball or zipfile export, export unicode names as utf-8
4673
paths. This may not work perfectly on all platforms, but has the best
4674
chance of working in the common case. (John Arbash Meinel, #56816)
4676
* When committing, only files that exist in working tree or basis tree
4677
may be specified (Aaron Bentley, #50793)
4681
* Fixes to run on Python 2.5 (Brian M. Carlson, Martin Pool, Marien Zwart)
4685
* TestCaseInTempDir now creates a separate directory for HOME, rather
4686
than having HOME set to the same location as the working directory.
4687
(John Arbash Meinel)
4689
* ``run_bzr_subprocess()`` can take an optional ``env_changes={}`` parameter,
4690
which will update os.environ inside the spawned child. It also can
4691
take a ``universal_newlines=True``, which helps when checking the output
4692
of the command. (John Arbash Meinel)
4694
* Refactor SFTP vendors to allow easier re-use when ssh is used.
4697
* ``Transport.list_dir()`` and ``Transport.iter_files_recursive()`` should always
4698
return urlescaped paths. This is now tested (there were bugs in a few
4699
of the transports) (Andrew Bennetts, David Allouche, John Arbash Meinel)
4701
* New utility function ``symbol_versioning.deprecation_string``. Returns the
4702
formatted string for a callable, deprecation format pair. (Robert Collins)
4704
* New TestCase helper applyDeprecated. This allows you to call a callable
4705
which is deprecated without it spewing to the screen, just by supplying
4706
the deprecation format string issued for it. (Robert Collins)
4708
* Transport.append and Transport.put have been deprecated in favor of
4709
``.append_bytes``, ``.append_file``, ``.put_bytes``, and
4710
``.put_file``. This removes the ambiguity in what type of object the
4711
functions take. ``Transport.non_atomic_put_{bytes,file}`` has also
4712
been added. Which works similarly to ``Transport.append()`` except for
4713
SFTP, it doesn't have a round trip when opening the file. Also, it
4714
provides functionality for creating a parent directory when trying
4715
to create a file, rather than raise NoSuchFile and forcing the
4716
caller to repeat their request.
4717
(John Arbash Meinel)
4719
* WorkingTree has a new api ``unversion`` which allow the unversioning of
4720
entries by their file id. (Robert Collins)
4722
* ``WorkingTree.pending_merges`` is deprecated. Please use the
4723
``get_parent_ids`` (introduced in 0.10) method instead. (Robert Collins)
4725
* WorkingTree has a new ``lock_tree_write`` method which locks the branch for
4726
read rather than write. This is appropriate for actions which only need
4727
the branch data for reference rather than mutation. A new decorator
4728
``needs_tree_write_lock`` is provided in the workingtree module. Like the
4729
``needs_read_lock`` and ``needs_write_lock`` decorators this allows static
4730
declaration of the locking requirements of a function to ensure that
4731
a lock is taken out for casual scripts. (Robert Collins, #54107)
4733
* All WorkingTree methods which write to the tree, but not to the branch
4734
have been converted to use ``needs_tree_write_lock`` rather than
4735
``needs_write_lock``. Also converted is the revert, conflicts and tree
4736
transform modules. This provides a modest performance improvement on
4737
metadir style trees, due to the reduce lock-acquisition, and a more
4738
significant performance improvement on lightweight checkouts from
4739
remote branches, where trivial operations used to pay a significant
4740
penalty. It also provides the basis for allowing readonly checkouts.
4743
* Special case importing the standard library 'copy' module. This shaves
4744
off 40ms of startup time, while retaining compatibility. See:
4745
``bzrlib/inspect_for_copy.py`` for more details. (John Arbash Meinel)
4747
* WorkingTree has a new parent class MutableTree which represents the
4748
specialisations of Tree which are able to be altered. (Robert Collins)
4750
* New methods mkdir and ``put_file_bytes_non_atomic`` on MutableTree that
4751
mutate the tree and its contents. (Robert Collins)
4753
* Transport behaviour at the root of the URL is now defined and tested.
4754
(Andrew Bennetts, Robert Collins)
4758
* New test helper classs MemoryTree. This is typically accessed via
4759
``self.make_branch_and_memory_tree()`` in test cases. (Robert Collins)
4761
* Add ``start_bzr_subprocess`` and ``stop_bzr_subprocess`` to allow test
4762
code to continue running concurrently with a subprocess of bzr.
4763
(Andrew Bennetts, Robert Collins)
4765
* Add a new method ``Transport.get_smart_client()``. This is provided to
4766
allow upgrades to a richer interface than the VFS one provided by
4767
Transport. (Andrew Bennetts, Martin Pool)
4770
--------------------
4773
* 'merge' now takes --uncommitted, to apply uncommitted changes from a
4774
tree. (Aaron Bentley)
4776
* 'bzr add --file-ids-from' can be used to specify another path to use
4777
for creating file ids, rather than generating all new ones. Internally,
4778
the 'action' passed to ``smart_add_tree()`` can return ``file_ids`` that
4779
will be used, rather than having bzrlib generate new ones.
4780
(John Arbash Meinel, #55781)
4782
* ``bzr selftest --benchmark`` now allows a ``--cache-dir`` parameter.
4783
This will cache some of the intermediate trees, and decrease the
4784
setup time for benchmark tests. (John Arbash Meinel)
4786
* Inverse forms are provided for all boolean options. For example,
4787
--strict has --no-strict, --no-recurse has --recurse (Aaron Bentley)
4789
* Serialize out Inventories directly, rather than using ElementTree.
4790
Writing out a kernel sized inventory drops from 2s down to ~350ms.
4791
(Robert Collins, John Arbash Meinel)
4795
* Help diffutils 2.8.4 get along with binary tests (Marien Zwart: #57614)
4797
* Change LockDir so that if the lock directory doesn't exist when
4798
``lock_write()`` is called, an attempt will be made to create it.
4799
(John Arbash Meinel, #56974)
4801
* ``bzr uncommit`` preserves pending merges. (John Arbash Meinel, #57660)
4803
* Active FTP transport now works as intended. (ghozzy, #56472)
4805
* Really fix mutter() so that it won't ever raise a UnicodeError.
4806
It means it is possible for ~/.bzr.log to contain non UTF-8 characters.
4807
But it is a debugging log, not a real user file.
4808
(John Arbash Meinel, #56947, #53880)
4810
* Change Command handle to allow Unicode command and options.
4811
At present we cannot register Unicode command names, so we will get
4812
BzrCommandError('unknown command'), or BzrCommandError('unknown option')
4813
But that is better than a UnicodeError + a traceback.
4814
(John Arbash Meinel, #57123)
4816
* Handle TZ=UTC properly when reading/writing revisions.
4817
(John Arbash Meinel, #55783, #56290)
4819
* Use ``GPG_TTY`` to allow gpg --cl to work with gpg-agent in a pipeline,
4820
(passing text to sign in on stdin). (John Arbash Meinel, #54468)
4822
* External diff does the right thing for binaries even in foreign
4823
languages. (John Arbash Meinel, #56307)
4825
* Testament handles more cases when content is unicode. Specific bug was
4826
in handling of revision properties.
4827
(John Arbash Meinel, Holger Krekel, #54723)
4829
* The bzr selftest was failing on installed versions due to a bug in a new
4830
test helper. (John Arbash Meinel, Robert Collins, #58057)
4834
* ``bzrlib.cache_utf8`` contains ``encode()`` and ``decode()`` functions
4835
which can be used to cache the conversion between utf8 and Unicode.
4836
Especially helpful for some of the knit annotation code, which has to
4837
convert revision ids to utf8 to annotate lines in storage.
4838
(John Arbash Meinel)
4840
* ``setup.py`` now searches the filesystem to find all packages which
4841
need to be installed. This should help make the life of packagers
4842
easier. (John Arbash Meinel)
4844
bzr 0.9.0 2006-08-11
4845
---------------------
4849
* The hard-coded built-in ignore rules have been removed. There are
4850
now two rulesets which are enforced. A user global one in
4851
``~/.bazaar/ignore`` which will apply to every tree, and the tree
4852
specific one '.bzrignore'.
4853
``~/.bazaar/ignore`` will be created if it does not exist, but with
4854
a more conservative list than the old default.
4855
This fixes bugs with default rules being enforced no matter what.
4856
The old list of ignore rules from bzr is available by
4857
running 'bzr ignore --old-default-rules'.
4858
(Robert Collins, Martin Pool, John Arbash Meinel)
4860
* 'branches.conf' has been changed to 'locations.conf', since it can apply
4861
to more locations than just branch locations.
4866
* The revision specifier "revno:" is extended to accept the syntax
4867
revno:N:branch. For example,
4868
revno:42:http://bazaar-vcs.org/bzr/bzr.dev/ means revision 42 in
4869
bzr.dev. (Matthieu Moy)
4871
* Tests updates to ensure proper URL handling, UNICODE support, and
4872
proper printing when the user's terminal encoding cannot display
4873
the path of a file that has been versioned.
4874
``bzr branch`` can take a target URL rather than only a local directory.
4875
``Branch.get_parent()/set_parent()`` now save a relative path if possible,
4876
and normalize the parent based on root, allowing access across
4877
different transports. (John Arbash Meinel, Wouter van Heyst, Martin Pool)
4878
(Malone #48906, #42699, #40675, #5281, #3980, #36363, #43689,
4881
* On Unix, detect terminal width using an ioctl not just $COLUMNS.
4882
Use terminal width for single-line logs from ``bzr log --line`` and
4883
pending-merge display. (Robert Widhopf-Fenk, Gustavo Niemeyer)
4886
* On Windows, detect terminal width using GetConsoleScreenBufferInfo.
4887
(Alexander Belchenko)
4889
* Speedup improvement for 'date:'-revision search. (Guillaume Pinot).
4891
* Show the correct number of revisions pushed when pushing a new branch.
4894
* 'bzr selftest' now shows a progress bar with the number of tests, and
4895
progress made. 'make check' shows tests in -v mode, to be more useful
4896
for the PQM status window. (Robert Collins).
4897
When using a progress bar, failed tests are printed out, rather than
4898
being overwritten by the progress bar until the suite finishes.
4899
(John Arbash Meinel)
4901
* 'bzr selftest --benchmark' will run a new benchmarking selftest.
4902
'bzr selftest --benchmark --lsprof-timed' will use lsprofile to generate
4903
profile data for the individual profiled calls, allowing for fine
4904
grained analysis of performance.
4905
(Robert Collins, Martin Pool).
4907
* 'bzr commit' shows a progress bar. This is useful for commits over sftp
4908
where commit can take an appreciable time. (Robert Collins)
4910
* 'bzr add' is now less verbose in telling you what ignore globs were
4911
matched by files being ignored. Instead it just tells you how many
4912
were ignored (because you might reasonably be expecting none to be
4913
ignored). 'bzr add -v' is unchanged and will report every ignored
4914
file. (Robert Collins).
4916
* ftp now has a test server if medusa is installed. As part of testing,
4917
ftp support has been improved, including support for supplying a
4918
non-standard port. (John Arbash Meinel).
4920
* 'bzr log --line' shows the revision number, and uses only the
4921
first line of the log message (#5162, Alexander Belchenko;
4924
* 'bzr status' has had the --all option removed. The 'bzr ls' command
4925
should be used to retrieve all versioned files. (Robert Collins)
4927
* 'bzr bundle OTHER/BRANCH' will create a bundle which can be sent
4928
over email, and applied on the other end, while maintaining ancestry.
4929
This bundle can be applied with either 'bzr merge' or 'bzr pull',
4930
the same way you would apply another branch.
4931
(John Arbash Meinel, Aaron Bentley)
4933
* 'bzr whoami' can now be used to set your identity from the command line,
4934
for a branch or globally. (Robey Pointer)
4936
* 'bzr checkout' now aliased to 'bzr co', and 'bzr annotate' to 'bzr ann'.
4939
* 'bzr revert DIRECTORY' now reverts the contents of the directory as well.
4942
* 'bzr get sftp://foo' gives a better error when paramiko is not present.
4943
Also updates things like 'http+pycurl://' if pycurl is not present.
4944
(John Arbash Meinel) (Malone #47821, #52204)
4946
* New env variable ``BZR_PROGRESS_BAR``, sets the default progress bar type.
4947
Can be set to 'none' or 'dummy' to disable the progress bar, 'dots' or
4948
'tty' to create the respective type. (John Arbash Meinel, #42197, #51107)
4950
* Improve the help text for 'bzr diff' to explain what various options do.
4951
(John Arbash Meinel, #6391)
4953
* 'bzr uncommit -r 10' now uncommits revisions 11.. rather than uncommitting
4954
revision 10. This makes -r10 more in line with what other commands do.
4955
'bzr uncommit' also now saves the pending merges of the revisions that
4956
were removed. So it is safe to uncommit after a merge, fix something,
4957
and commit again. (John Arbash Meinel, #32526, #31426)
4959
* 'bzr init' now also works on remote locations.
4960
(Wouter van Heyst, #48904)
4962
* HTTP support has been updated. When using pycurl we now support
4963
connection keep-alive, which reduces dns requests and round trips.
4964
And for both urllib and pycurl we support multi-range requests,
4965
which decreases the number of round-trips. Performance results for
4966
``bzr branch http://bazaar-vcs.org/bzr/bzr.dev/`` indicate
4967
http branching is now 2-3x faster, and ``bzr pull`` in an existing
4968
branch is as much as 4x faster.
4969
(Michael Ellerman, Johan Rydberg, John Arbash Meinel, #46768)
4971
* Performance improvements for sftp. Branching and pulling are now up to
4972
2x faster. Utilize paramiko.readv() support for async requests if it
4973
is available (paramiko > 1.6) (John Arbash Meinel)
4977
* Fix shadowed definition of TestLocationConfig that caused some
4979
(Erik Bågfors, Michael Ellerman, Martin Pool, #32587)
4981
* Fix unnecessary requirement of sign-my-commits that it be run from
4982
a working directory. (Martin Pool, Robert Collins)
4984
* 'bzr push location' will only remember the push location if it succeeds
4985
in connecting to the remote location. (John Arbash Meinel, #49742)
4987
* 'bzr revert' no longer toggles the executable bit on win32
4988
(John Arbash Meinel, #45010)
4990
* Handle broken pipe under win32 correctly. (John Arbash Meinel)
4992
* sftp tests now work correctly on win32 if you have a newer paramiko
4993
(John Arbash Meinel)
4995
* Cleanup win32 test suite, and general cleanup of places where
4996
file handles were being held open. (John Arbash Meinel)
4998
* When specifying filenames for 'diff -r x..y', the name of the file in the
4999
working directory can be used, even if its name is different in both x
5002
* File-ids containing single- or double-quotes are handled correctly by
5003
push. (Aaron Bentley, #52227)
5005
* Normalize unicode filenames to ensure cross-platform consistency.
5006
(John Arbash Meinel, #43689)
5008
* The argument parser can now handle '-' as an argument. Currently
5009
no code interprets it specially (it is mostly handled as a file named
5010
'-'). But plugins, and future operations can use it.
5011
(John Arbash meinel, #50984)
5013
* Bundles can properly read binary files with a plain '\r' in them.
5014
(John Arbash Meinel, #51927)
5016
* Tuning ``iter_entries()`` to be more efficient (John Arbash Meinel, #5444)
5018
* Lots of win32 fixes (the test suite passes again).
5019
(John Arbash Meinel, #50155)
5021
* Handle openbsd returning None for sys.getfilesystemencoding() (#41183)
5023
* Support ftp APPE (append) to allow Knits to be used over ftp (#42592)
5025
* Removals are only committed if they match the filespec (or if there is
5026
no filespec). (#46635, Aaron Bentley)
5028
* smart-add recurses through all supplied directories
5029
(John Arbash Meinel, #52578)
5031
* Make the bundle reader extra lines before and after the bundle text.
5032
This allows you to parse an email with the bundle inline.
5033
(John Arbash Meinel, #49182)
5035
* Change the file id generator to squash a little bit more. Helps when
5036
working with long filenames on windows. (Also helps for unicode filenames
5037
not generating hidden files). (John Arbash Meinel, #43801)
5039
* Restore terminal mode on C-c while reading sftp password. (#48923,
5040
Nicholas Allen, Martin Pool)
5042
* Timestamps are rounded to 1ms, and revision entries can be recreated
5043
exactly. (John Arbash Meinel, Jamie Wilkinson, #40693)
5045
* Branch.base has changed to a URL, but ~/.bazaar/locations.conf should
5046
use local paths, since it is user visible (John Arbash Meinel, #53653)
5048
* ``bzr status foo`` when foo was unversioned used to cause a full delta
5049
to be generated (John Arbash Meinel, #53638)
5051
* When reading revision properties, an empty value should be considered
5052
the empty string, not None (John Arbash Meinel, #47782)
5054
* ``bzr diff --diff-options`` can now handle binary files being changed.
5055
Also, the output is consistent when --diff-options is not supplied.
5056
(John Arbash Meinel, #54651, #52930)
5058
* Use the right suffixes for loading plugins (John Arbash Meinel, #51810)
5060
* Fix ``Branch.get_parent()`` to handle the case when the parent is not
5061
accessible (John Arbash Meinel, #52976)
5065
* Combine the ignore rules into a single regex rather than looping over
5066
them to reduce the threshold where N^2 behaviour occurs in operations
5067
like status. (Jan Hudec, Robert Collins).
5069
* Appending to ``bzrlib.DEFAULT_IGNORE`` is now deprecated. Instead, use
5070
one of the add functions in bzrlib.ignores. (John Arbash Meinel)
5072
* 'bzr push' should only push the ancestry of the current revision, not
5073
all of the history in the repository. This is especially important for
5074
shared repositories. (John Arbash Meinel)
5076
* ``bzrlib.delta.compare_trees`` now iterates in alphabetically sorted order,
5077
rather than randomly walking the inventories. (John Arbash Meinel)
5079
* Doctests are now run in temporary directories which are cleaned up when
5080
they finish, rather than using special ScratchDir/ScratchBranch objects.
5083
* Split ``check`` into separate methods on the branch and on the repository,
5084
so that it can be specialized in ways that are useful or efficient for
5085
different formats. (Martin Pool, Robert Collins)
5087
* Deprecate ``Repository.all_revision_ids``; most methods don't really need
5088
the global revision graph but only that part leading up to a particular
5089
revision. (Martin Pool, Robert Collins)
5091
* Add a BzrDirFormat ``control_formats`` list which allows for control formats
5092
that do not use '.bzr' to store their data - i.e. '.svn', '.hg' etc.
5093
(Robert Collins, Jelmer Vernooij).
5095
* ``bzrlib.diff.external_diff`` can be redirected to any file-like object.
5096
Uses subprocess instead of spawnvp.
5097
(James Henstridge, John Arbash Meinel, #4047, #48914)
5099
* New command line option '--profile-imports', which will install a custom
5100
importer to log time to import modules and regex compilation time to
5101
sys.stderr (John Arbash Meinel)
5103
* 'EmptyTree' is now deprecated, please use ``repository.revision_tree(None)``
5104
instead. (Robert Collins)
5106
* "RevisionTree" is now in bzrlib/revisiontree.py. (Robert Collins)
5108
bzr 0.8.2 2006-05-17
5109
---------------------
5113
* setup.py failed to install launchpad plugin. (Martin Pool)
5115
bzr 0.8.1 2006-05-16
5116
---------------------
5120
* Fix failure to commit a merge in a checkout. (Martin Pool,
5121
Robert Collins, Erik Bågfors, #43959)
5123
* Nicer messages from 'commit' in the case of renames, and correct
5124
messages when a merge has occured. (Robert Collins, Martin Pool)
5126
* Separate functionality from assert statements as they are skipped in
5127
optimized mode of python. Add the same check to pending merges.
5128
(Olaf Conradi, #44443)
5132
* Do not show the None revision in output of bzr ancestry. (Olaf Conradi)
5134
* Add info on standalone branches without a working tree.
5135
(Olaf Conradi, #44155)
5137
* Fix bug in knits when raising InvalidRevisionId. (Olaf Conradi, #44284)
5141
* Make editor invocation comply with Debian Policy. First check
5142
environment variables VISUAL and EDITOR, then try editor from
5143
alternatives system. If that all fails, fall back to the pre-defined
5144
list of editors. (Olaf Conradi, #42904)
5148
* New 'register-branch' command registers a public branch into
5149
Launchpad.net, where it can be associated with bugs, etc.
5150
(Martin Pool, Bjorn Tillenius, Robert Collins)
5154
* New public api in InventoryEntry - ``describe_change(old, new)`` which
5155
provides a human description of the changes between two old and
5156
new. (Robert Collins, Martin Pool)
5160
* Fix test case for bzr info in upgrading a standalone branch to metadir,
5161
uses bzrlib api now. (Olaf Conradi)
5166
NOTES WHEN UPGRADING:
5168
Release 0.8 of bzr introduces a new format for history storage, called
5169
'knit', as an evolution of to the 'weave' format used in 0.7. Local
5170
and remote operations are faster using knits than weaves. Several
5171
operations including 'init', 'init-repo', and 'upgrade' take a
5172
--format option that controls this. Branching from an existing branch
5173
will keep the same format.
5175
It is possible to merge, pull and push between branches of different
5176
formats but this is slower than moving data between homogenous
5177
branches. It is therefore recommended (but not required) that you
5178
upgrade all branches for a project at the same time. Information on
5179
formats is shown by 'bzr info'.
5181
bzr 0.8 now allows creation of 'repositories', which hold the history
5182
of files and revisions for several branches. Previously bzr kept all
5183
the history for a branch within the .bzr directory at the root of the
5184
branch, and this is still the default. To create a repository, use
5185
the new 'bzr init-repo' command. Branches exist as directories under
5186
the repository and contain just a small amount of information
5187
indicating the current revision of the branch.
5189
bzr 0.8 also supports 'checkouts', which are similar to in cvs and
5190
subversion. Checkouts are associated with a branch (optionally in a
5191
repository), which contains all the historical information. The
5192
result is that a checkout can be deleted without losing any
5193
already-committed revisions. A new 'update' command is also available.
5195
Repositories and checkouts are not supported with the 0.7 storage
5196
format. To use them you must upgrad to either knits, or to the
5197
'metaweave' format, which uses weaves but changes the .bzr directory
5203
* Sftp paths can now be relative, or local, according to the lftp
5204
convention. Paths now take the form::
5206
sftp://user:pass@host:port/~/relative/path
5208
sftp://user:pass@host:port/absolute/path
5210
* The FTP transport now tries to reconnect after a temporary
5211
failure. ftp put is made atomic. (Matthieu Moy)
5213
* The FTP transport now maintains a pool of connections, and
5214
reuses them to avoid multiple connections to the same host (like
5215
sftp did). (Daniel Silverstone)
5217
* The ``bzr_man.py`` file has been removed. To create the man page now,
5218
use ``./generate_docs.py man``. The new program can also create other files.
5219
Run ``python generate_docs.py --help`` for usage information.
5220
(Hans Ulrich Niedermann & James Blackwell).
5222
* Man Page now gives full help (James Blackwell).
5223
Help also updated to reflect user config now being stored in .bazaar
5224
(Hans Ulrich Niedermann)
5226
* It's now possible to set aliases in bazaar.conf (Erik Bågfors)
5228
* Pull now accepts a --revision argument (Erik Bågfors)
5230
* ``bzr re-sign`` now allows multiple revisions to be supplied on the command
5231
line. You can now use the following command to sign all of your old
5234
find .bzr/revision-store// -name my@email-* \
5235
| sed 's/.*\/\/..\///' \
5238
* Upgrade can now upgrade over the network. (Robert Collins)
5240
* Two new commands 'bzr checkout' and 'bzr update' allow for CVS/SVN-alike
5241
behaviour. By default they will cache history in the checkout, but
5242
with --lightweight almost all data is kept in the master branch.
5245
* 'revert' unversions newly-versioned files, instead of deleting them.
5247
* 'merge' is more robust. Conflict messages have changed.
5249
* 'merge' and 'revert' no longer clobber existing files that end in '~' or
5252
* Default log format can be set in configuration and plugins can register
5253
their own formatters. (Erik Bågfors)
5255
* New 'reconcile' command will check branch consistency and repair indexes
5256
that can become out of sync in pre 0.8 formats. (Robert Collins,
5259
* New 'bzr init --format' and 'bzr upgrade --format' option to control
5260
what storage format is created or produced. (Robert Collins,
5263
* Add parent location to 'bzr info', if there is one. (Olaf Conradi)
5265
* New developer commands 'weave-list' and 'weave-join'. (Martin Pool)
5267
* New 'init-repository' command, plus support for repositories in 'init'
5268
and 'branch' (Aaron Bentley, Erik Bågfors, Robert Collins)
5270
* Improve output of 'info' command. Show all relevant locations related to
5271
working tree, branch and repository. Use kibibytes for binary quantities.
5272
Fix off-by-one error in missing revisions of working tree. Make 'info'
5273
work on branches, repositories and remote locations. Show locations
5274
relative to the shared repository, if applicable. Show locking status
5275
of locations. (Olaf Conradi)
5277
* Diff and merge now safely handle binary files. (Aaron Bentley)
5279
* 'pull' and 'push' now normalise the revision history, so that any two
5280
branches with the same tip revision will have the same output from 'log'.
5283
* 'merge' accepts --remember option to store parent location, like 'push'
5284
and 'pull'. (Olaf Conradi)
5286
* bzr status and diff when files given as arguments do not exist
5287
in the relevant trees. (Martin Pool, #3619)
5289
* Add '.hg' to the default ignore list. (Martin Pool)
5291
* 'knit' is now the default disk format. This improves disk performance and
5292
utilization, increases incremental pull performance, robustness with SFTP
5293
and allows checkouts over SFTP to perform acceptably.
5294
The initial Knit code was contributed by Johan Rydberg based on a
5295
specification by Martin Pool.
5296
(Robert Collins, Aaron Bentley, Johan Rydberg, Martin Pool).
5298
* New tool to generate all-in-one html version of the manual. (Alexander
5301
* Hitting CTRL-C while doing an SFTP push will no longer cause stale locks
5302
to be left in the SFTP repository. (Robert Collins, Martin Pool).
5304
* New option 'diff --prefix' to control how files are named in diff
5305
output, with shortcuts '-p0' and '-p1' corresponding to the options for
5306
GNU patch. (Alexander Belchenko, Goffredo Baroncelli, Martin Pool)
5308
* Add --revision option to 'annotate' command. (Olaf Conradi)
5310
* If bzr shows an unexpected revision-history after pulling (perhaps due
5311
to a reweave) it can now be corrected by 'bzr reconcile'.
5316
* Commit is now verbose by default, and shows changed filenames and the
5317
new revision number. (Robert Collins, Martin Pool)
5319
* Unify 'mv', 'move', 'rename'. (Matthew Fuller, #5379)
5321
* 'bzr -h' shows help. (Martin Pool, Ian Bicking, #35940)
5323
* Make 'pull' and 'push' remember location on failure using --remember.
5326
* For compatibility, make old format for using weaves inside metadir
5327
available as 'metaweave' format. Rename format 'metadir' to 'default'.
5328
Clean up help for option --format in commands 'init', 'init-repo' and
5329
'upgrade'. (Olaf Conradi)
5333
* The internal storage of history, and logical branch identity have now
5334
been split into Branch, and Repository. The common locking and file
5335
management routines are now in bzrlib.lockablefiles.
5336
(Aaron Bentley, Robert Collins, Martin Pool)
5338
* Transports can now raise DependencyNotPresent if they need a library
5339
which is not installed, and then another implementation will be
5340
tried. (Martin Pool)
5342
* Remove obsolete (and no-op) `decode` parameter to `Transport.get`.
5345
* Using Tree Transform for merge, revert, tree-building
5347
* WorkingTree.create, Branch.create, ``WorkingTree.create_standalone``,
5348
Branch.initialize are now deprecated. Please see ``BzrDir.create_*`` for
5349
replacement API's. (Robert Collins)
5351
* New BzrDir class represents the .bzr control directory and manages
5352
formatting issues. (Robert Collins)
5354
* New repository.InterRepository class encapsulates Repository to
5355
Repository actions and allows for clean selection of optimised code
5356
paths. (Robert Collins)
5358
* ``bzrlib.fetch.fetch`` and ``bzrlib.fetch.greedy_fetch`` are now
5359
deprecated, please use ``branch.fetch`` or ``repository.fetch``
5360
depending on your needs. (Robert Collins)
5362
* deprecated methods now have a ``is_deprecated`` flag on them that can
5363
be checked, if you need to determine whether a given callable is
5364
deprecated at runtime. (Robert Collins)
5366
* Progress bars are now nested - see
5367
``bzrlib.ui.ui_factory.nested_progress_bar``.
5368
(Robert Collins, Robey Pointer)
5370
* New API call ``get_format_description()`` for each type of format.
5373
* Changed ``branch.set_parent()`` to accept None to remove parent.
5376
* Deprecated BzrError AmbiguousBase. (Olaf Conradi)
5378
* WorkingTree.branch is now a read only property. (Robert Collins)
5380
* bzrlib.ui.text.TextUIFactory now accepts a ``bar_type`` parameter which
5381
can be None or a factory that will create a progress bar. This is
5382
useful for testing or for overriding the bzrlib.progress heuristic.
5385
* New API method ``get_physical_lock_status()`` to query locks present on a
5386
transport. (Olaf Conradi)
5388
* Repository.reconcile now takes a thorough keyword parameter to allow
5389
requesting an indepth reconciliation, rather than just a data-loss
5390
check. (Robert Collins)
5392
* ``bzrlib.ui.ui_factory protocol`` now supports ``get_boolean`` to prompt
5393
the user for yes/no style input. (Robert Collins)
5397
* SFTP tests now shortcut the SSH negotiation, reducing test overhead
5398
for testing SFTP protocol support. (Robey Pointer)
5400
* Branch formats are now tested once per implementation (see ``bzrlib.
5401
tests.branch_implementations``. This is analagous to the transport
5402
interface tests, and has been followed up with working tree,
5403
repository and BzrDir tests. (Robert Collins)
5405
* New test base class TestCaseWithTransport provides a transport aware
5406
test environment, useful for testing any transport-interface using
5407
code. The test suite option --transport controls the transport used
5408
by this class (when its not being used as part of implementation
5409
contract testing). (Robert Collins)
5411
* Close logging handler on disabling the test log. This will remove the
5412
handler from the internal list inside python's logging module,
5413
preventing shutdown from closing it twice. (Olaf Conradi)
5415
* Move test case for uncommit to blackbox tests. (Olaf Conradi)
5417
* ``run_bzr`` and ``run_bzr_captured`` now accept a 'stdin="foo"'
5418
parameter which will provide String("foo") to the command as its stdin.
5425
* .bzrignore is excluded from exports, on the grounds that it's a bzr
5426
internal-use file and may not be wanted. (Jamie Wilkinson)
5428
* The "bzr directories" command were removed in favor of the new
5429
--kind option to the "bzr inventory" command. To list all
5430
versioned directories, now use "bzr inventory --kind directory".
5433
* Under Windows configuration directory is now ``%APPDATA%\bazaar\2.0``
5434
by default. (John Arbash Meinel)
5436
* The parent of Bzr configuration directory can be set by ``BZR_HOME``
5437
environment variable. Now the path for it is searched in ``BZR_HOME``,
5438
then in HOME. Under Windows the order is: ``BZR_HOME``, ``APPDATA``
5439
(usually points to ``C:\Documents and Settings\User Name\Application Data``),
5440
``HOME``. (John Arbash Meinel)
5442
* Plugins with the same name in different directories in the bzr plugin
5443
path are no longer loaded: only the first successfully loaded one is
5444
used. (Robert Collins)
5446
* Use systems' external ssh command to open connections if possible.
5447
This gives better integration with user settings such as ProxyCommand.
5450
* Permissions on files underneath .bzr/ are inherited from the .bzr
5451
directory. So for a shared repository, simply doing 'chmod -R g+w .bzr/'
5452
will mean that future file will be created with group write permissions.
5454
* configure.in and config.guess are no longer in the builtin default
5457
* '.sw[nop]' pattern ignored, to ignore vim swap files for nameless
5458
files. (John Arbash Meinel, Martin Pool)
5462
* "bzr INIT dir" now initializes the specified directory, and creates
5463
it if it does not exist. (John Arbash Meinel)
5465
* New remerge command (Aaron Bentley)
5467
* Better zsh completion script. (Steve Borho)
5469
* 'bzr diff' now returns 1 when there are changes in the working
5470
tree. (Robert Collins)
5472
* 'bzr push' now exists and can push changes to a remote location.
5473
This uses the transport infrastructure, and can store the remote
5474
location in the ~/.bazaar/branches.conf configuration file.
5477
* Test directories are only kept if the test fails and the user requests
5480
* Tweaks to short log printing
5482
* Added branch nicks, new nick command, printing them in log output.
5485
* If ``$BZR_PDB`` is set, pop into the debugger when an uncaught exception
5486
occurs. (Martin Pool)
5488
* Accept 'bzr resolved' (an alias for 'bzr resolve'), as this is
5489
the same as Subversion. (Martin Pool)
5491
* New ftp transport support (on ftplib), for ftp:// and aftp://
5492
URLs. (Daniel Silverstone)
5494
* Commit editor temporary files now start with ``bzr_log.``, to allow
5495
text editors to match the file name and set up appropriate modes or
5496
settings. (Magnus Therning)
5498
* Improved performance when integrating changes from a remote weave.
5499
(Goffredo Baroncelli)
5501
* Sftp will attempt to cache the connection, so it is more likely that
5502
a connection will be reused, rather than requiring multiple password
5505
* bzr revno now takes an optional argument indicating the branch whose
5506
revno should be printed. (Michael Ellerman)
5508
* bzr cat defaults to printing the last version of the file.
5509
(Matthieu Moy, #3632)
5511
* New global option 'bzr --lsprof COMMAND' runs bzr under the lsprof
5512
profiler. (Denys Duchier)
5514
* Faster commits by reading only the headers of affected weave files.
5517
* 'bzr add' now takes a --dry-run parameter which shows you what would be
5518
added, but doesn't actually add anything. (Michael Ellerman)
5520
* 'bzr add' now lists how many files were ignored per glob. add --verbose
5521
lists the specific files. (Aaron Bentley)
5523
* 'bzr missing' now supports displaying changes in diverged trees and can
5524
be limited to show what either end of the comparison is missing.
5525
(Aaron Bently, with a little prompting from Daniel Silverstone)
5529
* SFTP can walk up to the root path without index errors. (Robert Collins)
5531
* Fix bugs in running bzr with 'python -O'. (Martin Pool)
5533
* Error when run with -OO
5535
* Fix bug in reporting http errors that don't have an http error code.
5538
* Handle more cases of pipe errors in display commands
5540
* Change status to 3 for all errors
5542
* Files that are added and unlinked before committing are completely
5543
ignored by diff and status
5545
* Stores with some compressed texts and some uncompressed texts are now
5546
able to be used. (John A Meinel)
5548
* Fix for bzr pull failing sometimes under windows
5550
* Fix for sftp transport under windows when using interactive auth
5552
* Show files which are both renamed and modified as such in 'bzr
5553
status' output. (Daniel Silverstone, #4503)
5555
* Make annotate cope better with revisions committed without a valid
5556
email address. (Marien Zwart)
5558
* Fix representation of tab characters in commit messages.
5561
* List of plugin directories in ``BZR_PLUGIN_PATH`` environment variable is
5562
now parsed properly under Windows. (Alexander Belchenko)
5564
* Show number of revisions pushed/pulled/merged. (Robey Pointer)
5566
* Keep a cached copy of the basis inventory to speed up operations
5567
that need to refer to it. (Johan Rydberg, Martin Pool)
5569
* Fix bugs in bzr status display of non-ascii characters.
5572
* Remove Makefile.in from default ignore list.
5573
(Tollef Fog Heen, Martin Pool, #6413)
5575
* Fix failure in 'bzr added'. (Nathan McCallum, Martin Pool)
5579
* Fix selftest asking for passwords when there are no SFTP keys.
5580
(Robey Pointer, Jelmer Vernooij)
5582
* Fix selftest run with 'python -O'. (Martin Pool)
5584
* Fix HTTP tests under Windows. (John Arbash Meinel)
5586
* Make tests work even if HOME is not set (Aaron Bentley)
5588
* Updated ``build_tree`` to use fixed line-endings for tests which read
5589
the file cotents and compare. Make some tests use this to pass under
5590
Windows. (John Arbash Meinel)
5592
* Skip stat and symlink tests under Windows. (Alexander Belchenko)
5594
* Delay in selftest/testhashcash is now issued under win32 and Cygwin.
5595
(John Arbash Meinel)
5597
* Use terminal width to align verbose test output. (Martin Pool)
5599
* Blackbox tests are maintained within the bzrlib.tests.blackbox directory.
5600
If adding a new test script please add that to
5601
``bzrlib.tests.blackbox.__init__``. (Robert Collins)
5603
* Much better error message if one of the test suites can't be
5604
imported. (Martin Pool)
5606
* Make check now runs the test suite twice - once with the default locale,
5607
and once with all locales forced to C, to expose bugs. This is not
5608
trivially done within python, so for now its only triggered by running
5609
Make check. Integrators and packagers who wish to check for full
5610
platform support should run 'make check' to test the source.
5613
* Tests can now run TestSkipped if they can't execute for any reason.
5614
(Martin Pool) (NB: TestSkipped should only be raised for correctable
5615
reasons - see the wiki spec ImprovingBzrTestSuite).
5617
* Test sftp with relative, absolute-in-homedir and absolute-not-in-homedir
5618
paths for the transport tests. Introduce blackbox remote sftp tests that
5619
test the same permutations. (Robert Collins, Robey Pointer)
5621
* Transport implementation tests are now independent of the local file
5622
system, which allows tests for esoteric transports, and for features
5623
not available in the local file system. They also repeat for variations
5624
on the URL scheme that can introduce issues in the transport code,
5625
see bzrlib.transport.TransportTestProviderAdapter() for this.
5628
* ``TestCase.build_tree`` uses the transport interface to build trees,
5629
pass in a transport parameter to give it an existing connection.
5634
* WorkingTree.pull has been split across Branch and WorkingTree,
5635
to allow Branch only pulls. (Robert Collins)
5637
* ``commands.display_command`` now returns the result of the decorated
5638
function. (Robert Collins)
5640
* LocationConfig now has a ``set_user_option(key, value)`` call to save
5641
a setting in its matching location section (a new one is created
5642
if needed). (Robert Collins)
5644
* Branch has two new methods, ``get_push_location`` and
5645
``set_push_location`` to respectively, get and set the push location.
5648
* ``commands.register_command`` now takes an optional flag to signal that
5649
the registrant is planning to decorate an existing command. When
5650
given multiple plugins registering a command is not an error, and
5651
the original command class (whether built in or a plugin based one) is
5652
returned to the caller. There is a new error 'MustUseDecorated' for
5653
signalling when a wrapping command should switch to the original
5654
version. (Robert Collins)
5656
* Some option parsing errors will raise 'BzrOptionError', allowing
5657
granular detection for decorating commands. (Robert Collins).
5659
* ``Branch.read_working_inventory`` has moved to
5660
``WorkingTree.read_working_inventory``. This necessitated changes to
5661
``Branch.get_root_id``, and a move of ``Branch.set_inventory`` to
5662
WorkingTree as well. To make it clear that a WorkingTree cannot always
5663
be obtained ``Branch.working_tree()`` will raise
5664
``errors.NoWorkingTree`` if one cannot be obtained. (Robert Collins)
5666
* All pending merges operations from Branch are now on WorkingTree.
5669
* The follow operations from Branch have moved to WorkingTree::
5679
* ``bzrlib.add.smart_add_branch`` is now ``smart_add_tree``. (Robert Collins)
5681
* New "rio" serialization format, similar to rfc-822. (Martin Pool)
5683
* Rename selftests to ``bzrlib.tests.test_foo``. (John A Meinel, Martin
5686
* ``bzrlib.plugin.all_plugins`` has been changed from an attribute to a
5687
query method. (Robert Collins)
5689
* New options to read only the table-of-contents of a weave.
5692
* Raise NoSuchFile when someone tries to add a non-existant file.
5695
* Simplify handling of DivergedBranches in ``cmd_pull()``.
5698
* Branch.controlfile* logic has moved to lockablefiles.LockableFiles, which
5699
is exposed as ``Branch().control_files``. Also this has been altered with the
5700
controlfile pre/suffix replaced by simple method names like 'get' and
5701
'put'. (Aaron Bentley, Robert Collins).
5703
* Deprecated functions and methods can now be marked as such using the
5704
``bzrlib.symbol_versioning`` module. Marked method have their docstring
5705
updated and will issue a DeprecationWarning using the warnings module
5706
when they are used. (Robert Collins)
5708
* ``bzrlib.osutils.safe_unicode`` now exists to provide parameter coercion
5709
for functions that need unicode strings. (Robert Collins)
5716
* pull now takes --verbose to show you what revisions are added or removed
5719
* merge now takes a --show-base option to include the base text in
5723
* The config files are now read using ConfigObj, so '=' should be used as
5724
a separator, not ':'.
5727
* New 'bzr commit --strict' option refuses to commit if there are
5728
any unknown files in the tree. To commit, make sure all files are
5729
either ignored, added, or deleted. (Michael Ellerman)
5731
* The config directory is now ~/.bazaar, and there is a single file
5732
~/.bazaar/bazaar.conf storing email, editor and other preferences.
5735
* 'bzr add' no longer takes a --verbose option, and a --quiet option
5736
has been added that suppresses all output.
5738
* Improved zsh completion support in contrib/zsh, from Clint
5741
* Builtin 'bzr annotate' command, by Martin Pool with improvements from
5742
Goffredo Baroncelli.
5744
* 'bzr check' now accepts -v for verbose reporting, and checks for
5745
ghosts in the branch. (Robert Collins)
5747
* New command 're-sign' which will regenerate the gpg signature for
5748
a revision. (Robert Collins)
5750
* If you set ``check_signatures=require`` for a path in
5751
``~/.bazaar/branches.conf`` then bzr will invoke your
5752
``gpg_signing_command`` (defaults to gpg) and record a digital signature
5753
of your commit. (Robert Collins)
5755
* New sftp transport, based on Paramiko. (Robey Pointer)
5757
* 'bzr pull' now accepts '--clobber' which will discard local changes
5758
and make this branch identical to the source branch. (Robert Collins)
5760
* Just give a quieter warning if a plugin can't be loaded, and
5761
put the details in .bzr.log. (Martin Pool)
5763
* 'bzr branch' will now set the branch-name to the last component of the
5764
output directory, if one was supplied.
5766
* If the option ``post_commit`` is set to one (or more) python function
5767
names (must be in the bzrlib namespace), then they will be invoked
5768
after the commit has completed, with the branch and ``revision_id`` as
5769
parameters. (Robert Collins)
5771
* Merge now has a retcode of 1 when conflicts occur. (Robert Collins)
5773
* --merge-type weave is now supported for file contents. Tree-shape
5774
changes are still three-way based. (Martin Pool, Aaron Bentley)
5776
* 'bzr check' allows the first revision on revision-history to have
5777
parents - something that is expected for cheap checkouts, and occurs
5778
when conversions from baz do not have all history. (Robert Collins).
5780
* 'bzr merge' can now graft unrelated trees together, if your specify
5781
0 as a base. (Aaron Bentley)
5783
* 'bzr commit branch' and 'bzr commit branch/file1 branch/file2' now work
5786
* Add '.sconsign*' to default ignore list. (Alexander Belchenko)
5788
* 'bzr merge --reprocess' minimizes conflicts
5792
* The 'bzr selftest --pattern' option for has been removed, now
5793
test specifiers on the command line can be simple strings, or
5794
regexps, or both. (Robert Collins)
5796
* Passing -v to selftest will now show the time each test took to
5797
complete, which will aid in analysing performance regressions and
5798
related questions. (Robert Collins)
5800
* 'bzr selftest' runs all tests, even if one fails, unless '--one'
5801
is given. (Martin Pool)
5803
* There is a new method for TestCaseInTempDir, assertFileEqual, which
5804
will check that a given content is equal to the content of the named
5805
file. (Robert Collins)
5807
* Fix test suite's habit of leaving many temporary log files in $TMPDIR.
5812
* New 'testament' command and concept for making gpg-signatures
5813
of revisions that are not tied to a particular internal
5814
representation. (Martin Pool).
5816
* Per-revision properties ('revprops') as key-value associated
5817
strings on each revision created when the revision is committed.
5818
Intended mainly for the use of external tools. (Martin Pool).
5820
* Config options have moved from bzrlib.osutils to bzrlib.config.
5823
* Improved command line option definitions allowing explanations
5824
for individual options, among other things. Contributed by
5827
* Config options have moved from bzrlib.osutils to bzrlib.config.
5828
Configuration is now done via the config.Config interface:
5829
Depending on whether you have a Branch, a Location or no information
5830
available, construct a ``*Config``, and use its ``signature_checking``,
5831
``username`` and ``user_email`` methods. (Robert Collins)
5833
* Plugins are now loaded under bzrlib.plugins, not bzrlib.plugin, and
5834
they are made available for other plugins to use. You should not
5835
import other plugins during the ``__init__`` of your plugin though, as
5836
no ordering is guaranteed, and the plugins directory is not on the
5837
python path. (Robert Collins)
5839
* Branch.relpath has been moved to WorkingTree.relpath. WorkingTree no
5840
no longer takes an inventory, rather it takes an option branch
5841
parameter, and if None is given will open the branch at basedir
5842
implicitly. (Robert Collins)
5844
* Cleaner exception structure and error reporting. Suggested by
5845
Scott James Remnant. (Martin Pool)
5847
* Branch.remove has been moved to WorkingTree, which has also gained
5848
``lock_read``, ``lock_write`` and ``unlock`` methods for convenience.
5851
* Two decorators, ``needs_read_lock`` and ``needs_write_lock`` have been
5852
added to the branch module. Use these to cause a function to run in a
5853
read or write lock respectively. (Robert Collins)
5855
* ``Branch.open_containing`` now returns a tuple (Branch, relative-path),
5856
which allows direct access to the common case of 'get me this file
5857
from its branch'. (Robert Collins)
5859
* Transports can register using ``register_lazy_transport``, and they
5860
will be loaded when first used. (Martin Pool)
5862
* 'pull' has been factored out of the command as ``WorkingTree.pull()``.
5863
A new option to WorkingTree.pull has been added, clobber, which will
5864
ignore diverged history and pull anyway.
5867
* config.Config has a ``get_user_option`` call that accepts an option name.
5868
This will be looked up in branches.conf and bazaar.conf as normal.
5869
It is intended that this be used by plugins to support options -
5870
options of built in programs should have specific methods on the config.
5873
* ``merge.merge_inner`` now has tempdir as an optional parameter.
5876
* Tree.kind is not recorded at the top level of the hierarchy, as it was
5877
missing on EmptyTree, leading to a bug with merge on EmptyTrees.
5880
* ``WorkingTree.__del__`` has been removed, it was non deterministic and not
5881
doing what it was intended to. See ``WorkingTree.__init__`` for a comment
5882
about future directions. (Robert Collins/Martin Pool)
5884
* bzrlib.transport.http has been modified so that only 404 urllib errors
5885
are returned as NoSuchFile. Other exceptions will propogate as normal.
5886
This allows debuging of actual errors. (Robert Collins)
5888
* bzrlib.transport.Transport now accepts *ONLY* url escaped relative paths
5889
to apis like 'put', 'get' and 'has'. This is to provide consistent
5890
behaviour - it operates on url's only. (Robert Collins)
5892
* Transports can register using ``register_lazy_transport``, and they
5893
will be loaded when first used. (Martin Pool)
5895
* ``merge_flex`` no longer calls ``conflict_handler.finalize()``, instead that
5896
is called by ``merge_inner``. This is so that the conflict count can be
5897
retrieved (and potentially manipulated) before returning to the caller
5898
of ``merge_inner``. Likewise 'merge' now returns the conflict count to the
5899
caller. (Robert Collins)
5901
* ``revision.revision_graph`` can handle having only partial history for
5902
a revision - that is no revisions in the graph with no parents.
5905
* New ``builtins.branch_files`` uses the standard ``file_list`` rules to
5906
produce a branch and a list of paths, relative to that branch
5909
* New TestCase.addCleanup facility.
5911
* New ``bzrlib.version_info`` tuple (similar to ``sys.version_info``),
5912
which can be used by programs importing bzrlib.
5916
* Better handling of branches in directories with non-ascii names.
5917
(Joel Rosdahl, Panagiotis Papadakos)
5919
* Upgrades of trees with no commits will not fail due to accessing
5920
[-1] in the revision-history. (Andres Salomon)
5923
bzr 0.1.1 2005-10-12
5924
--------------------
5928
* Fix problem in pulling over http from machines that do not
5929
allow directories to be listed.
5931
* Avoid harmless warning about invalid hash cache after
5932
upgrading branch format.
5936
* Avoid some unnecessary http operations in branch and pull.
5944
* 'bzr branch' over http initially gives a very high estimate
5945
of completion time but it should fall as the first few
5946
revisions are pulled in. branch is still slow on
5947
high-latency connections.
5951
* bzr-man.py has been updated to work again. Contributed by
5954
* Locking is now done with fcntl.lockf which works with NFS
5955
file systems. Contributed by Harald Meland.
5957
* When a merge encounters a file that has been deleted on
5958
one side and modified on the other, the old contents are
5959
written out to foo.BASE and foo.SIDE, where SIDE is this
5960
or OTHER. Contributed by Aaron Bentley.
5962
* Export was choosing incorrect file paths for the content of
5963
the tarball, this has been fixed by Aaron Bentley.
5965
* Commit will no longer commit without a log message, an
5966
error is returned instead. Contributed by Jelmer Vernooij.
5968
* If you commit a specific file in a sub directory, any of its
5969
parent directories that are added but not listed will be
5970
automatically included. Suggested by Michael Ellerman.
5972
* bzr commit and upgrade did not correctly record new revisions
5973
for files with only a change to their executable status.
5974
bzr will correct this when it encounters it. Fixed by
5977
* HTTP tests now force off the use of ``http_proxy`` for the duration.
5978
Contributed by Gustavo Niemeyer.
5980
* Fix problems in merging weave-based branches that have
5981
different partial views of history.
5983
* Symlink support: working with symlinks when not in the root of a
5984
bzr tree was broken, patch from Scott James Remnant.
5988
* 'branch' now accepts a --basis parameter which will take advantage
5989
of local history when making a new branch. This allows faster
5990
branching of remote branches. Contributed by Aaron Bentley.
5992
* New tree format based on weave files, called version 5.
5993
Existing branches can be upgraded to this format using
5996
* Symlinks are now versionable. Initial patch by
5997
Erik Toubro Nielsen, updated to head by Robert Collins.
5999
* Executable bits are tracked on files. Patch from Gustavo
6002
* 'bzr status' now shows unknown files inside a selected directory.
6003
Patch from Heikki Paajanen.
6005
* Merge conflicts are recorded in .bzr. Two new commands 'conflicts'
6006
and 'resolve' have needed added, which list and remove those
6007
merge conflicts respectively. A conflicted tree cannot be committed
6008
in. Contributed by Aaron Bentley.
6010
* 'rm' is now an alias for 'remove'.
6012
* Stores now split out their content in a single byte prefixed hash,
6013
dropping the density of files per directory by 256. Contributed by
6016
* 'bzr diff -r branch:URL' will now perform a diff between two branches.
6017
Contributed by Robert Collins.
6019
* 'bzr log' with the default formatter will show merged revisions,
6020
indented to the right. Initial implementation contributed by Gustavo
6021
Niemeyer, made incremental by Robert Collins.
6026
* Test case failures have the exception printed after the log
6027
for your viewing pleasure.
6029
* InventoryEntry is now an abstract base class, use one of the
6030
concrete InventoryDirectory etc classes instead.
6032
* Branch raises an UnsupportedFormatError when it detects a
6033
bzr branch it cannot understand. This allows for precise
6034
handling of such circumstances.
6036
* Remove RevisionReference class; ``Revision.parent_ids`` is now simply a
6037
list of their ids and ``parent_sha1s`` is a list of their corresponding
6038
sha1s (for old branches only at the moment.)
6040
* New method-object style interface for Commit() and Fetch().
6042
* Renamed ``Branch.last_patch()`` to ``Branch.last_revision()``, since
6043
we call them revisions not patches.
6045
* Move ``copy_branch`` to ``bzrlib.clone.copy_branch``. The destination
6046
directory is created if it doesn't exist.
6048
* Inventories now identify the files which were present by
6049
giving the revision *of that file*.
6051
* Inventory and Revision XML contains a version identifier.
6052
This must be consistent with the overall branch version
6053
but allows for more flexibility in future upgrades.
6057
* Removed testsweet module so that tests can be run after
6058
bzr installed by 'bzr selftest'.
6060
* 'bzr selftest' command-line arguments can now be partial ids
6061
of tests to run, e.g. ``bzr selftest test_weave``
6064
bzr 0.0.9 2005-09-23
6065
--------------------
6069
* Fixed "branch -r" option.
6071
* Fix remote access to branches containing non-compressed history.
6074
* Better reliability of http server tests. (John Arbash-Meinel)
6076
* Merge graph maximum distance calculation fix. (Aaron Bentley)
6078
* Various minor bug in windows support have been fixed, largely in the
6079
test suite. Contributed by Alexander Belchenko.
6083
* Status now accepts a -r argument to give status between chosen
6084
revisions. Contributed by Heikki Paajanen.
6086
* Revision arguments no longer use +/-/= to control ranges, instead
6087
there is a 'before' namespace, which limits the successive namespace.
6088
For example '$ bzr log -r date:yesterday..before:date:today' will
6089
select everything from yesterday and before today. Contributed by
6092
* There is now a bzr.bat file created by distutils when building on
6093
Windows. Contributed by Alexander Belchenko.
6097
* Removed uuid() as it was unused.
6099
* Improved 'fetch' code for pulling revisions from one branch into
6100
another (used by pull, merged, etc.)
6103
bzr 0.0.8 2005-09-20
6104
--------------------
6108
* Adding a file whose parent directory is not versioned will
6109
implicitly add the parent, and so on up to the root. This means
6110
you should never need to explictly add a directory, they'll just
6111
get added when you add a file in the directory. Contributed by
6114
* Ignore ``.DS_Store`` (contains Mac metadata) by default.
6117
* If you set ``BZR_EDITOR`` in the environment, it is checked in
6118
preference to EDITOR and the config file for the interactive commit
6119
editing program. Related to this is a bugfix where a missing program
6120
set in EDITOR would cause editing to fail, now the fallback program
6121
for the operating system is still tried.
6123
* Files that are not directories/symlinks/regular files will no longer
6124
cause bzr to fail, it will just ignore them by default. You cannot add
6125
them to the tree though - they are not versionable.
6130
* Refactor xml packing/unpacking.
6134
* Fixed 'bzr mv' by Ollie Rutherfurd.
6136
* Fixed strange error when trying to access a nonexistent http
6139
* Make sure that the hashcache gets written out if it can't be
6145
* Various Windows fixes from Ollie Rutherfurd.
6147
* Quieten warnings about locking; patch from Matt Lavin.
6150
bzr-0.0.7 2005-09-02
6151
--------------------
6155
* ``bzr shell-complete`` command contributed by Clint Adams to
6156
help with intelligent shell completion.
6158
* New expert command ``bzr find-merge-base`` for debugging merges.
6163
* Much better merge support.
6165
* merge3 conflicts are now reported with markers like '<<<<<<<'
6166
(seven characters) which is the same as CVS and pleases things
6172
* ``bzr upgrade`` no longer fails when trying to fix trees that
6173
mention revisions that are not present.
6175
* Fixed bugs in listing plugins from ``bzr plugins``.
6177
* Fix case of $EDITOR containing options for the editor.
6179
* Fix log -r refusing to show the last revision.
6180
(Patch from Goffredo Baroncelli.)
6185
* ``bzr log --show-ids`` shows the revision ids of all parents.
6187
* Externally provided commands on your $BZRPATH no longer need
6188
to recognize --bzr-usage to work properly, and can just handle
6194
* Changed trace messages to go through the standard logging
6195
framework, so that they can more easily be redirected by
6200
bzr-0.0.6 2005-08-18
6201
--------------------
6205
* Python plugins, automatically loaded from the directories on
6206
``BZR_PLUGIN_PATH`` or ``~/.bzr.conf/plugins`` by default.
6208
* New 'bzr mkdir' command.
6210
* Commit mesage is fetched from an editor if not given on the
6211
command line; patch from Torsten Marek.
6213
* ``bzr log -m FOO`` displays commits whose message matches regexp
6216
* ``bzr add`` with no arguments adds everything under the current directory.
6218
* ``bzr mv`` does move or rename depending on its arguments, like
6221
* ``bzr missing`` command shows a summary of the differences
6222
between two trees. (Merged from John Arbash-Meinel.)
6224
* An email address for commits to a particular tree can be
6225
specified by putting it into .bzr/email within a branch. (Based
6226
on a patch from Heikki Paajanen.)
6231
* Faster working tree operations.
6236
* 3rd-party modules shipped with bzr are copied within the bzrlib
6237
python package, so that they can be installed by the setup
6238
script without clashing with anything already existing on the
6239
system. (Contributed by Gustavo Niemeyer.)
6241
* Moved plugins directory to bzrlib/, so that there's a standard
6242
plugin directory which is not only installed with bzr itself but
6243
is also available when using bzr from the development tree.
6244
``BZR_PLUGIN_PATH`` and ``DEFAULT_PLUGIN_PATH`` are then added to the
6245
standard plugins directory.
6247
* When exporting to a tarball with ``bzr export --format tgz``, put
6248
everything under a top directory rather than dumping it into the
6249
current directory. This can be overridden with the ``--root``
6250
option. Patch from William Dodé and John Meinel.
6252
* New ``bzr upgrade`` command to upgrade the format of a branch,
6253
replacing ``bzr check --update``.
6255
* Files within store directories are no longer marked readonly on
6258
* Changed ``bzr log`` output to a more compact form suggested by
6259
John A Meinel. Old format is available with the ``--long`` or
6260
``-l`` option, patched by William Dodé.
6262
* By default the commit command refuses to record a revision with
6263
no changes unless the ``--unchanged`` option is given.
6265
* The ``--no-plugins``, ``--profile`` and ``--builtin`` command
6266
line options must come before the command name because they
6267
affect what commands are available; all other options must come
6268
after the command name because their interpretation depends on
6271
* ``branch`` and ``clone`` added as aliases for ``branch``.
6273
* Default log format is back to the long format; the compact one
6274
is available with ``--short``.
6279
* Fix bugs in committing only selected files or within a subdirectory.
6282
bzr-0.0.5 2005-06-15
6283
---------------------
6287
* ``bzr`` with no command now shows help rather than giving an
6288
error. Suggested by Michael Ellerman.
6290
* ``bzr status`` output format changed, because svn-style output
6291
doesn't really match the model of bzr. Now files are grouped by
6292
status and can be shown with their IDs. ``bzr status --all``
6293
shows all versioned files and unknown files but not ignored files.
6295
* ``bzr log`` runs from most-recent to least-recent, the reverse
6296
of the previous order. The previous behaviour can be obtained
6297
with the ``--forward`` option.
6299
* ``bzr inventory`` by default shows only filenames, and also ids
6300
if ``--show-ids`` is given, in which case the id is the second
6306
* New 'bzr whoami --email' option shows only the email component
6307
of the user identification, from Jo Vermeulen.
6309
* New ``bzr ignore PATTERN`` command.
6311
* Nicer error message for broken pipe, interrupt and similar
6312
conditions that don't indicate an internal error.
6314
* Add ``.*.sw[nop] .git .*.tmp *,v`` to default ignore patterns.
6316
* Per-branch locks keyed on ``.bzr/branch-lock``, available in
6317
either read or write mode.
6319
* New option ``bzr log --show-ids`` shows revision and file ids.
6321
* New usage ``bzr log FILENAME`` shows only revisions that
6324
* Changed format for describing changes in ``bzr log -v``.
6326
* New option ``bzr commit --file`` to take a message from a file,
6327
suggested by LarstiQ.
6329
* New syntax ``bzr status [FILE...]`` contributed by Bartosz
6330
Oler. File may be in a branch other than the working directory.
6332
* ``bzr log`` and ``bzr root`` can be given an http URL instead of
6335
* Commands can now be defined by external programs or scripts
6336
in a directory on $BZRPATH.
6338
* New "stat cache" avoids reading the contents of files if they
6339
haven't changed since the previous time.
6341
* If the Python interpreter is too old, try to find a better one
6342
or give an error. Based on a patch from Fredrik Lundh.
6344
* New optional parameter ``bzr info [BRANCH]``.
6346
* New form ``bzr commit SELECTED`` to commit only selected files.
6348
* New form ``bzr log -r FROM:TO`` shows changes in selected
6349
range; contributed by John A Meinel.
6351
* New option ``bzr diff --diff-options 'OPTS'`` allows passing
6352
options through to an external GNU diff.
6354
* New option ``bzr add --no-recurse`` to add a directory but not
6357
* ``bzr --version`` now shows more information if bzr is being run
6363
* Fixed diff format so that added and removed files will be
6364
handled properly by patch. Fix from Lalo Martins.
6366
* Various fixes for files whose names contain spaces or other
6372
* Converted black-box test suites from Bourne shell into Python;
6373
now run using ``./testbzr``. Various structural improvements to
6376
* testbzr by default runs the version of bzr found in the same
6377
directory as the tests, or the one given as the first parameter.
6379
* testbzr also runs the internal tests, so the only command
6380
required to check is just ``./testbzr``.
6382
* testbzr requires python2.4, but can be used to test bzr running
6383
under a different version.
6385
* Tests added for many other changes in this release.
6390

6393
Scott James Remnant.
6395
* Better help messages for many commands.
6397
* Expose ``bzrlib.open_tracefile()`` to start the tracefile; until
6398
this is called trace messages are just discarded.
6400
* New internal function ``find_touching_revisions()`` and hidden
6401
command touching-revisions trace the changes to a given file.
6403
* Simpler and faster ``compare_inventories()`` function.
6405
* ``bzrlib.open_tracefile()`` takes a tracefilename parameter.
6407
* New AtomicFile class.
6409
* New developer commands ``added``, ``modified``.
6414
* Cope on Windows on python2.3 by using the weaker random seed.
6415
2.4 is now only recommended.

bzr-0.0.4 2005-04-22
6419
---------------------
6423
* 'bzr diff' optionally takes a list of files to diff. Still a bit
6424
basic. Patch from QuantumG.
6426
* More default ignore patterns.
6428
* New 'bzr log --verbose' shows a list of files changed in the
6429
changeset. Patch from Sebastian Cote.
6431
* Roll over ~/.bzr.log if it gets too large.
6433
* Command abbreviations 'ci', 'st', 'stat', '?' based on a patch
6436
* New 'bzr help commands' based on a patch from Denys Duchier.

* User email is determined by looking at $BZREMAIL or ~/.bzr.email
6442
or $EMAIL. All are decoded by the locale preferred encoding.
6443
If none of these are present user@hostname is used. The host's
6444
fully-qualified name is not used because that tends to fail when
6445
there are DNS problems.
6447

6452
* Make commit safe for hardlinked bzr trees.
6454

6457
trailing newlines properly.
6462

6465
* More tests in test.sh.
6467
* Write profile data to a temporary file not into working
6468
directory and delete it when done.
6470
* Smaller .bzr.log with process ids.
6475
* Fix opening of ~/.bzr.log on Windows. Patch from Andrew
6478
* Some improvements in handling paths on Windows, based on a patch
6482

6500
* New cat command contributed by janmar.
6504
* .bzr.log is placed in $HOME (not pwd) and is always written in
6505
UTF-8. (Probably not a completely good long-term solution, but
6510
* Workaround for difflib bug in Python 2.3 that causes an
6511
exception when comparing empty files. Reported by Erik Toubro
6516
* Refactored inventory storage to insert a root entry at the top.
6520
* Start of shell-based black-box testing in test.sh.
6528
* Win32 fixes from Steve Brown.

bzr-0.0.2 "black cube" 2005-03-31
6532
-----------------------------------
6536
* Default ignore list extended (see bzrlib/__init__.py).

6541
* Ignore list isn't reread for every file.
6545
* Reinstate the 'bzr check' command to check invariants of the
6548
* New 'ignored' command lists which files are ignored and why;
6549
'deleted' lists files deleted in the current working tree.
6551
* Performance improvements.
6553
* New global --profile option.
6555
* Ignore patterns like './config.h' now correctly match files in
6556
the root directory only.
6559
bzr-0.0.1 2005-03-26
6560
---------------------
6564
* More information from info command.
6566

6569
committing to stores.
6571
* More useful verbose output from some commands.
6575
