18
19
* sftp transport: added missing ``FileExists`` case to
20
``_translate_io_exception`` (Christophe Troestler, #123475)
21
22

bzr 1.6rc1 2008-08-06
33
---------------------
34
35
This release candidate for bzr 1.6 solidifies the new branch stacking
36
feature. Bazaar now recommends that users upgrade all knit repositories,
37
because later formats are much faster. However, we plan to continue read/write and
38
upgrade support for knit repostories for the forseeable future. Several
39
other bugs and performance issues were fixed.
40
41
CHANGES:
42
43
* Knit format repositories are deprecated and bzr will now emit
44
warnings whenever it encounters one. Use ``bzr upgrade`` to upgrade
45
knit repositories to pack format. (Andrew Bennetts)
46
47
IMPROVEMENTS:
48
49
* ``bzr check`` can now be told which elements at a location it should
50
check. (Daniel Watkins)
51
52
* Commit now supports ``--exclude`` (or ``-x``) to exclude some files
53
from the commit. (Robert Collins, #3117)
54
55
* Fetching data between repositories that have the same model but no
56
optimised fetcher will not reserialise all the revisions, increasing
57
performance. (Robert Collins, John Arbash Meinel)
58
59
* Give a more specific error when target branch is not reachable.
60
(James Westby)
61
62
* Implemented a custom ``walkdirs_utf8`` implementation for win32.
63
This uses a pyrex extension to get direct access to the
64
``FindFirstFileW`` style apis, rather than using ``listdir`` +
65
``lstat``. Shows a very strong improvement in commands like
66
``status`` and ``diff`` which have to iterate the working tree.
67
Anywhere from 2x-6x faster depending on the size of the tree (bigger
68
trees, bigger benefit.) (John Arbash Meinel)
69
70
* New registry for log properties handles and the method in
71
LongLogFormatter to display the custom properties returned by the
72
registered handlers. (Guillermo Gonzalez, #162469)
73
74
BUG FIXES:
75
76
* Add more tests that stacking does not create deltas spanning
77
physical repository boundaries.
78
(Martin Pool, #252428)
79
80
* Better message about incompatible repositories.
81
(Martin Pool, #206258)
82
83
* ``bzr branch --stacked`` ensures the destination branch format can
84
support stacking, even if the origin does not.
85
(Martin Pool)
86
87
* ``bzr export`` no longer exports ``.bzrrules``.
88
(Ian Clatworthy)
89
90
* ``bzr serve --directory=/`` now correctly allows the whole
91
filesystem to be accessed on Windows, not just the root of the drive
92
that Python is running from.
93
(Adrian Wilkins, #240910)
94
95
* Deleting directories by hand before running ``bzr rm`` will not
96
cause subsequent errors in ``bzr st`` and ``bzr commit``.
97
(Robert Collins, #150438)
98
99
* Fix a test case that was failing if encoding wasn't UTF-8.
100
(John Arbash Meinel, #247585)
101
102
* Fix "no buffer space available" error when branching with the new
103
smart server protocol to or from Windows.
104
(Andrew Bennetts, #246180)
105
106
* Fixed problem in branching from smart server.
107
(#249256, Michael Hudson, Martin Pool)
108
109
* Handle a file turning in to a directory in TreeTransform.
110
(James Westby, #248448)
111
112
API CHANGES:
113
114
* ``MutableTree.commit`` has an extra optional keywork parameter
115
``exclude`` that will be unconditionally supplied by the command
116
line UI - plugins that add tree formats may need an update.
117
(Robert Collins)
118
119
* The API minimum version for plugin compatibility has been raised to
120
1.6 - there are significant changes throughout the code base.
121
(Robert Collins)
122
123
* The generic fetch code now uses three attributes on Repository objects
124
to control fetch. The streams requested are controlled via :
125
``_fetch_order`` and ``_fetch_uses_deltas``. Setting these
126
appropriately allows different repository implementations to recieve
127
data in their optimial form. If the ``_fetch_reconcile`` is set then
128
a reconcile operation is triggered at the end of the fetch.
129
(Robert Collins)
130
131
* The ``put_on_disk`` and ``get_tar_item`` methods in
132
``InventoryEntry`` were deprecated. (Ian Clatworthy)
133
134
* ``Repository.is_shared`` doesn't take a read lock. It didn't
135
need one in the first place (nobody cached the value, and
136
``RemoteRepository`` wasn't taking one either). This saves a round
137
trip when probing Pack repositories, as they read the ``pack-names``
138
file when locked. And during probe, locking the repo isn't very
139
useful. (John Arbash Meinel)
140
141
INTERNALS:
142
143
* ``bzrlib.branchbuilder.BranchBuilder`` is now much more capable of
144
putting together a real history without having to create a full
145
WorkingTree. It is recommended that tests that are not directly
146
testing the WorkingTree use BranchBuilder instead. See
147
``BranchBuilder.build_snapshot`` or
148
``TestCaseWithMemoryTree.make_branch_builder``. (John Arbash Meinel)
149
150
* ``bzrlib.builtins.internal_tree_files`` broken into two giving a new
151
helper ``safe_relpath_files`` - used by the new ``exclude``
152
parameter to commit. (Robert Collins)
153
154
* Make it easier to introduce new WorkingTree formats.
155
(Ian Clatworthy)
156
157
* The code for exporting trees was refactored not to use the
158
deprecated ``InventoryEntry`` methods. (Ian Clatworthy)
159
160
* RuleSearchers return () instead of [] now when there are no matches.
161
(Ian Clatworthy)
162
163
164
bzr 1.6beta3 2008-07-17
165
-----------------------
166
167
This release adds a new 'stacked branches' feature allowing branches to
168
share storage without being in the same repository or on the same machine.
169
(See the user guide for more details.) It also adds a new hook, improved
170
weaves, aliases for related locations, faster bzr+ssh push, and several
171
bug fixes.
172
173
FEATURES:
174
175
* New ``pre_change_branch_tip`` hook that is called before the
176
branch tip is moved, while the branch is write-locked. See the User
177
Reference for signature details. (Andrew Bennetts)
178
179
* Rule-based preferences can now be defined for selected files in
180
selected branches, allowing commands and plugins to provide
181
custom behaviour for files matching defined patterns.
182
See ``Rule-based preferences`` (part of ``Configuring Bazaar``)
183
in the User Guide and ``bzr help rules`` for more information.
184
(Ian Clatworthy)
185
186
* Sites may suggest a branch to stack new branches on. (Aaron Bentley)
187
188
* Stacked branches are now supported. See ``bzr help branch`` and
189
``bzr help push``. Branches must be in the ``development1`` format
190
to stack, though the stacked-on branch can be of any format.
191
(Robert Collins)
192
193
IMPROVEMENTS:
194
195
* ``bzr export --format=tgz --root=NAME -`` to export a gzipped tarball
196
to stdout; also ``tar`` and ``tbz2``.
197
(Martin Pool)
198
199
* ``bzr (re)merge --weave`` will now use a standard Weave algorithm,
200
rather than the annotation-based merge it was using. It does so by
201
building up a Weave of the important texts, without needing to build
202
the full ancestry. (John Arbash Meinel, #238895)
203
204
* ``bzr send`` documents and better supports ``emacsclient`` (proper
205
escaping of mail headers and handling of the MUA Mew).
206
(Christophe Troestler)
207
208
* Remembered locations can be specified by aliases, e.g. :parent, :public,
209
:submit. (Aaron Bentley)
210
211
* The smart protocol now has improved support for setting branches'
212
revision info directly. This makes operations like push
213
faster. The new request method name is
214
``Branch.set_last_revision_ex``. (Andrew Bennetts)
215
216
BUG FIXES:
217
218
* Bazaar is now able to be a client to the web server of IIS 6 and 7.
219
The broken implementations of RFC822 in Python and RFC2046 in IIS
220
combined with boundary-line checking in Bazaar previously made this
221
impossible. (NB, IIS 5 does not suffer from this problem).
222
(Adrian Wilkins, #247585)
223
224
* ``bzr log --long`` with a ghost in your mainline now handles that
225
ghost properly. (John Arbash Meinel, #243536)
226
227
* ``check`` handles the split-up .bzr layout correctly, so no longer
228
requires a branch to be present.
229
(Daniel Watkins, #64783)
230
231
* Clearer message about how to set the PYTHONPATH if bzrlib can't be
232
loaded.
233
(Martin Pool, #205230)
234
235
* Errors about missing libraries are now shown without a traceback,
236
and with a suggestion to install the library. The full traceback is
237
still in ``.bzr.log`` and can be shown with ``-Derror``.
238
(Martin Pool, #240161)
239
240
* Fetch from a stacked branch copies all required data.
241
(Aaron Bentley, #248506)
242
243
* Handle urls such as ftp://user@host.com@www.host.com where the user
244
name contains an @.
245
(Neil Martinsen-Burrell, #228058)
246
247
* ``needs_read_lock`` and ``needs_write_lock`` now suppress an error during
248
``unlock`` if there was an error in the original function. This helps
249
most when there is a failure with a smart server action, since often the
250
connection closes and we cannot unlock.
251
(Andrew Bennetts, John Arbash Meinel, #125784)
252
253
* Obsolete hidden command ``bzr fetch`` removed.
254
(Martin Pool, #172870)
255
256
* Raise the correct exception when doing ``-rbefore:0`` or ``-c0``.
257
(John Arbash Meinel, #239933)
258
259
* You can now compare file revisions in Windows diff programs from
260
Cygwin Bazaar.
261
(Matt McClure, #209281)
262
263
* revision_history now tolerates mainline ghosts for Branch format 6.
264
(Aaron Bentley, #235055)
265
266
* Set locale from environment for third party libs.
267
(Martin von Gagern, #128496)
268
269
DOCUMENTATION:
270
271
* Added *Using stacked branches* to the User Guide.
272
(Ian Clatworthy)
273
274
* Updated developer documentation.
275
(Martin Pool)
276
277
TESTING:
278
279
* ``-Dmemory`` will cause /proc/PID/status to be catted before bzr
280
exits, allowing low-key analysis of peak memory use. (Robert Collins)
281
282
* ``TestCaseWithTransport.make_branch_and_tree`` tries harder to return
283
a tree with a ``branch`` attribute of the right format. This was
284
preventing some ``RemoteBranch`` tests from actually running with
285
``RemoteBranch`` instances. (Andrew Bennetts)
286
287
API CHANGES:
288
289
* Removed ``Repository.text_store``, ``control_store``, etc. Instead,
290
there are new attributes ``texts, inventories, revisions,
291
signatures``, each of which is a ``VersionedFiles``. See the
292
Repository docstring for more details.
293
(Robert Collins)
294
295
* ``Branch.pull`` now accepts an ``_override_hook_target`` optional
296
parameter. If you have a subclass of ``Branch`` that overrides
297
``pull`` then you should add this parameter. (Andrew Bennetts)
298
299
* ``bzrlib.check.check()`` has been deprecated in favour of the more
300
aptly-named ``bzrlib.check.check_branch()``.
301
(Daniel Watkins)
302
303
* ``Tree.print_file`` and ``Repository.print_file`` are deprecated.
304
These methods are bad APIs because they write directly to sys.stdout.
305
bzrlib does not use them internally, and there are no direct tests
306
for them. (Alexander Belchenko)
307
308
INTERNALS:
309
310
* ``cat`` command no longer uses ``Tree.print_file()`` internally.
311
(Alexander Belchenko)
312
313
* New class method ``BzrDir.open_containing_tree_branch_or_repository``
314
which eases the discovery of the tree, the branch and the repository
315
containing a given location.
316
(Daniel Watkins)
317
318
* New ``versionedfile.KeyMapper`` interface to abstract out the access to
319
underlying .knit/.kndx etc files in repositories with partitioned
320
storage. (Robert Collins)
321
322
* Obsolete developer-use command ``weave-join`` has been removed.
323
(Robert Collins)
324
325
* ``RemoteToOtherFetcher`` and ``get_data_stream_for_search`` removed,
326
to support new ``VersionedFiles`` layering.
327
(Robert Collins)
328
329
330
bzr 1.6beta2 2008-06-10
331
-----------------------
332
333
This release contains further progress towards our 1.6 goals of shallow
334
repositories, and contains a fix for some user-affecting bugs in the
335
repository layer. Building working trees during checkout and branch is
336
now faster.
337
338
BUG FIXES:
339
340
* Avoid KnitCorrupt error extracting inventories from some repositories.
341
(The data is not corrupt; an internal check is detecting a problem
342
reading from the repository.)
343
(Martin Pool, Andrew Bennetts, Robert Collins, #234748)
344
345
* ``bzr status`` was breaking if you merged the same revision twice.
346
(John Arbash Meinel, #235407)
347
348
* Fix infinite loop consuming 100% CPU when a connection is lost while
349
reading a response body via the smart protocol v1 or v2.
350
(Andrew Bennetts)
351
352
* Inserting a bundle which changes the contents of a file with no trailing
353
end of line, causing a knit snapshot in a 'knits' repository will no longer
354
cause KnitCorrupt. (Robert Collins)
355
356
* ``RemoteBranch.pull`` needs to return the ``self._real_branch``'s
357
pull result. It was instead just returning None, which breaks ``bzr
358
pull``. (John Arbash Meinel, #238149)
359
360
* Sanitize branch nick before using it as an attachment filename in
361
``bzr send``. (Lukáš Lalinský, #210218)
362
363
* Squash ``inv_entry.symlink_target`` to a plain string when
364
generating DirState details. This prevents from getting a
365
``UnicodeError`` when you have symlinks and non-ascii filenames.
366
(John Arbash Meinel, #135320)
367
368
IMPROVEMENTS:
369
370
* Added the 'alias' command to set/unset and display aliases. (Tim Penhey)
371
372
* ``added``, ``modified``, and ``unknowns`` behaviour made consistent (all three
373
now quote paths where required). Added ``--null`` option to ``added`` and
374
``modified`` (for null-separated unknowns, use ``ls --unknown --null``)
375
(Adrian Wilkins)
376
377
* Faster branching (1.09x) and lightweight checkouts (1.06x) on large trees.
378
(Ian Clatworthy, Aaron Bentley)
379
380
DOCUMENTATION:
381
382
* Added *Bazaar Zen* section to the User Guide. (Ian Clatworthy)
383
384
TESTING:
385
386
* Fix the test HTTPServer to be isolated from chdir calls made while it is
387
running, allowing it to be used in blackbox tests. (Robert Collins)
388
389
API CHANGES:
390
391
* ``WorkingTree.set_parent_(ids/trees)`` will now filter out revisions
392
which are in the ancestry of other revisions. So if you merge the same
393
tree twice, or merge an ancestor of an existing merge, it will only
394
record the newest. (If you merge a descendent, it will replace its
395
ancestor). (John Arbash Meinel, #235407)
396
397
* ``RepositoryPolicy.__init__`` now requires stack_on and stack_on_pwd,
398
through the derived classes do not. (Aaron Bentley)
399
400
INTERNALS:
401
402
* ``bzrlib.bzrdir.BzrDir.sprout`` now accepts ``stacked`` to control
403
creating stacked branches. (Robert Collins)
404
405
* Knit record serialisation is now stricter on what it will accept, to
406
guard against potential internal bugs, or broken input. (Robert Collins)
407
408
409
bzr 1.6beta1 2008-06-02
410
-----------------------
411
412
413
Commands that work on the revision history such as push, pull, missing,
414
uncommit and log are now substantially faster. This release adds a
415
translation of some of the user documentation into Spanish. (Contributions of
416
other translations would be very welcome.) Bazaar 1.6beta1 adds a new network
417
protocol which is used by default and which allows for more efficient transfers
418
and future extensions.
419
420
421
NOTES WHEN UPGRADING:
422
423
* There is a new version of the network protocol used for bzr://, bzr+ssh://
424
and bzr+http:// connections. This will allow more efficient requests and
425
responses, and more graceful fallback when a server is too old to
426
recognise a request from a more recent client. Bazaar 1.6 will
427
interoperate with 0.16 and later versions, but servers should be upgraded
428
when possible. Bazaar 1.6 no longer interoperates with 0.15 and earlier via
429
these protocols. Use alternatives like SFTP or upgrade those servers.
430
(Andrew Bennetts, #83935)
431
432
CHANGES:
433
434
* Deprecation warnings will not be suppressed when running ``bzr selftest``
435
so that developers can see if their code is using deprecated functions.
436
(John Arbash Meinel)
437
438
FEATURES:
439
440
* Adding ``-Derror`` will now display a traceback when a plugin fails to
441
load. (James Westby)
442
443
IMPROVEMENTS:
444
445
* ``bzr branch/push/pull -r XXX`` now have a helper function for finding
446
the revno of the new revision (``Graph.find_distance_to_null``). This
447
should make something like ``bzr branch -r -100`` in a shared, no-trees
448
repository much snappier. (John Arbash Meinel)
449
450
* ``bzr log --short -r X..Y`` no longer needs to access the full revision
451
history. This makes it noticeably faster when logging the last few
452
revisions. (John Arbash Meinel)
453
454
* ``bzr ls`` now accepts ``-V`` as an alias for ``--versioned``.
455
(Jerad Cramp, #165086)
456
457
* ``bzr missing`` uses the new ``Graph.find_unique_ancestors`` and
458
``Graph.find_differences`` to determine missing revisions without having
459
to search the whole ancestry. (John Arbash Meinel, #174625)
460
461
* ``bzr uncommit`` now uses partial history access, rather than always
462
extracting the full revision history for a branch. This makes it
463
resolve the appropriate revisions much faster (in testing it drops
464
uncommit from 1.5s => 0.4s). It also means ``bzr log --short`` is one
465
step closer to not using full revision history.
466
(John Arbash Meinel, #172649)
467
468
BUGFIXES:
469
470
* ``bzr merge --lca`` should handle when two revisions have no common
471
ancestor other than NULL_REVISION. (John Arbash Meinel, #235715)
472
473
* ``bzr status`` was breaking if you merged the same revision twice.
474
(John Arbash Meinel, #235407)
475
476
* ``bzr push`` with both ``--overwrite`` and ``-r NNN`` options no longer
477
fails. (Andrew Bennetts, #234229)
478
479
* Correctly track the base URL of a smart medium when using bzr+http://
480
URLs, which was causing spurious "No repository present" errors with
481
branches in shared repositories accessed over bzr+http.
482
(Andrew Bennetts, #230550)
483
484
* Define ``_remote_is_at_least_1_2`` on ``SmartClientMedium`` so that all
485
implementations have the attribute. Fixes 'PyCurlTransport' object has no
486
attribute '_remote_is_at_least_1_2' attribute errors.
487
(Andrew Bennetts, #220806)
488
489
* Failure to delete an obsolete pack file should just give a warning
490
message, not a fatal error. It may for example fail if the file is still
491
in use by another process.
492
(Martin Pool)
493
494
* Fix MemoryError during large fetches over HTTP by limiting the amount of
495
data we try to read per ``recv`` call. The problem was observed with
496
Windows and a proxy, but might affect other environments as well.
497
(Eric Holmberg, #215426)
498
499
* Handle old merge directives correctly in Merger.from_mergeable. Stricter
500
get_parent_map requirements exposed a latent bug here. (Aaron Bentley)
501
502
* Issue a warning and ignore passwords declared in authentication.conf when
503
used for an ssh scheme (sftp or bzr+ssh).
504
(Vincent Ladeuil, #203186)
505
506
* Make both http implementations raise appropriate exceptions on 403
507
Forbidden when POSTing smart requests.
508
(Vincent Ladeuil, #230223)
509
510
* Properly *title* header names in http requests instead of capitalizing
511
them.
512
(Vincent Ladeuil, #229076)
513
514
* The "Unable to obtain lock" error message now also suggests using
515
``bzr break-lock`` to fix it. (Martin Albisetti, #139202)
516
517
* Treat an encoding of '' as ascii; this can happen when bzr is run
518
under vim on Mac OS X.
519
(Neil Martinsen-Burrell)
520
521
* ``VersionedFile.make_mpdiffs()`` was raising an exception that wasn't in
522
scope. (Daniel Fischer #235687)
523
524
DOCUMENTATION:
525
526
* Added directory structure and started translation of docs in spanish.
527
(Martin Albisetti, Lucio Albenga)
528
529
* Incorporate feedback from Jelmer Vernooij and Neil Martinsen-Burrell
530
on the plugin and integration chapters of the User Guide.
531
(Ian Clatworthy)
532
533
* More Bazaar developer documentation about packaging and release process,
534
and about use of Python reprs.
535
(Martin Pool, Martin Albisetti)
536
537
* Updated Tortise strategy document. (Mark Hammond)
538
539
TESTING:
540
541
* ``bzrlib.tests.adapt_tests`` was broken and unused - it has been fixed.
542
(Robert Collins)
543
544
* Fix the test HTTPServer to be isolated from chdir calls made while it is
545
running, allowing it to be used in blackbox tests. (Robert Collins)
546
547
* New helper function for splitting test suites
548
``split_suite_by_condition``. (Robert Collins)
549
550
INTERNALS:
551
552
* ``Branch.missing_revisions`` has been deprecated. Similar functionality
553
can be obtained using ``bzrlib.missing.find_unmerged``. The api was
554
fairly broken, and the function was unused, so we are getting rid of it.
555
(John Arbash Meinel)
556
557
API CHANGES:
558
559
* ``Branch.abspath`` is deprecated; use the Tree or Transport
560
instead. (Martin Pool)
561
562
* ``Branch.update_revisions`` now takes an optional ``Graph``
563
object. This can be used by ``update_revisions`` when it is
564
checking ancestry, and allows callers to prefer request to go to a
565
local branch. (John Arbash Meinel)
566
567
* Branch, Repository, Tree and BzrDir should expose a Transport as an
568
attribute if they have one, rather than having it indirectly accessible
569
as ``.control_files._transport``. This doesn't add a requirement
570
to support a Transport in cases where it was not needed before;
571
it just simplifies the way it is reached. (Martin Pool)
572
573
* ``bzr missing --mine-only`` will return status code 0 if you have no
574
new revisions, but the remote does. Similarly for ``--theirs-only``.
575
The new code only checks one side, so it doesn't know if the other
576
side has changes. This seems more accurate with the request anyway.
577
It also changes the output to print '[This|Other] branch is up to
578
date.' rather than displaying nothing. (John Arbash Meinel)
579
580
* ``LockableFiles.put_utf8``, ``put_bytes`` and ``controlfilename``
581
are now deprecated in favor of using Transport operations.
582
(Martin Pool)
583
584
* Many methods on ``VersionedFile``, ``Repository`` and in
585
``bzrlib.revision`` deprecated before bzrlib 1.5 have been removed.
586
(Robert Collins)
587
588
* ``RevisionSpec.wants_revision_history`` can be set to False for a given
589
``RevisionSpec``. This will disable the existing behavior of passing in
590
the full revision history to ``self._match_on``. Useful for specs that
591
don't actually need access to the full history. (John Arbash Meinel)
592
593
* The constructors of ``SmartClientMedium`` and its subclasses now require a
594
``base`` parameter. ``SmartClientMedium`` implementations now also need
595
to provide a ``remote_path_from_transport`` method. (Andrew Bennetts)
596
597
* The default permissions for creating new files and directories
598
should now be obtained from ``BzrDir._get_file_mode()`` and
599
``_get_dir_mode()``, rather than from LockableFiles. The ``_set_file_mode``
600
and ``_set_dir_mode`` variables on LockableFiles which were advertised
601
as a way for plugins to control this are no longer consulted.
602
(Martin Pool)
603
604
* ``VersionedFile.join`` is deprecated. This method required local
605
instances of both versioned file objects and was thus hostile to being
606
used for streaming from a smart server. The new get_record_stream and
607
insert_record_stream are meant to efficiently replace this method.
608
(Robert Collins)
609
610
* ``WorkingTree.set_parent_(ids/trees)`` will now filter out revisions
611
which are in the ancestry of other revisions. So if you merge the same
612
tree twice, or merge an ancestor of an existing merge, it will only
613
record the newest. (If you merge a descendent, it will replace its
614
ancestor). (John Arbash Meinel, #235407)
615
616
* ``WorkingTreeFormat2.stub_initialize_remote`` is now private.
617

bzr 1.5 2008-05-16
621
------------------
622
623
This release of Bazaar includes several updates to the documentation, and fixes
624
to prepare for making rich root support the default format. Many bugs have been
625
squashed, including fixes to log, bzr+ssh inter-operation with older servers.
626
627
CHANGES:
628
629
* Suppress deprecation warnings when bzrlib is a 'final' release. This way
630
users of packaged software won't be bothered with DeprecationWarnings,
631
but developers and testers will still see them. (John Arbash Meinel)
632
633
DOCUMENTATION:
634
635
* Incorporate feedback from Jelmer Vernooij and Neil Martinsen-Burrell
636
on the plugin and integration chapters of the User Guide.

641
---------------------
642
643
NOTES WHEN UPGRADING:
644
645
CHANGES:
646
647
* Broader support of GNU Emacs mail clients. Set
648
``mail_client=emacsclient`` in your bazaar.conf and ``send`` will pop the
649
bundle in a mail buffer according to the value of ``mail-user-agent``
650
variable. (Xavier Maillard)
651
652
FEATURES:
653
654
IMPROVEMENTS:
655
656
* Diff now handles revision specs like "branch:" and "submit:" more
657
efficiently. (Aaron Bentley, #202928)
658
659
* More friendly error given when attempt to start the smart server
660
on an address already in use. (Andrea Corbellini, #200575)
661
662
* Pull completes much faster when there is nothing to pull.
663
(Aaron Bentley)
664
665
BUGFIXES:
666
667
* Authentication.conf can define sections without password.
668
(Vincent Ladeuil, #199440)
669
670
* Avoid muttering every time a child update does not cause a progress bar
671
update. (John Arbash Meinel, #213771)
672
673
* ``Branch.reconcile()`` is now implemented. This allows ``bzr reconcile``
674
to fix when a Branch has a non-canonical mainline history. ``bzr check``
675
also detects this condition. (John Arbash Meinel, #177855)
676
677
* ``bzr log -r ..X bzr://`` was failing, because it was getting a request
678
for ``revision_id=None`` which was not a string.
679
(John Arbash Meinel, #211661)
680
681
* ``bzr commit`` now works with Microsoft's FTP service.
682
(Andreas Deininger)
683
684
* Catch definitions outside sections in authentication.conf.
685
(Vincent Ladeuil, #217650)
686
687
* Conversion from non-rich-root to rich-root(-pack) updates inventory
688
sha1s, even when bundles are used. (Aaron Bentley, #181391)
689
690
* Conversion from non-rich-root to rich-root(-pack) works correctly even
691
though search keys are not topologically sorted. (Aaron Bentley)
692
693
* Conversion from non-rich-root to rich-root(-pack) works even when a
694
parent revision has a different root id. (Aaron Bentley, #177874)
695
696
* Disable strace testing until strace is fixed (see bug #103133) and emit a
697
warning when selftest ends to remind us of leaking tests.
698
(Vincent Ladeuil, #226769)
699
700
* Fetching all revisions from a repository does not cause pack collisions.
701
(Robert Collins, Aaron Bentley, #212908)
702
703
* Fix error about "attempt to add line-delta in non-delta knit".
704
(Andrew Bennetts, #217701)
705
706
* Pushing a branch in "dirstate" format (Branch5) over bzr+ssh would break
707
if the remote server was < version 1.2. This was due to a bug in the
708
RemoteRepository.get_parent_map() fallback code.
709
(John Arbash Meinel, #214894)
710
711
* Remove leftover code in ``bzr_branch`` that inappropriately creates
712
a ``branch-name`` file in the branch control directory.
713
(Martin Pool)
714
715
* Set SO_REUSEADDR on server sockets of ``bzr serve`` to avoid problems
716
rebinding the socket when starting the server a second time.
717
(John Arbash Meinel, Martin Pool, #164288)
718
719
* Severe performance degradation in fetching from knit repositories to
720
knits and packs due to parsing the entire revisions.kndx on every graph
721
walk iteration fixed by using the Repository.get_graph API. There was
722
another regression in knit => knit fetching which re-read the index for
723
every revision each side had in common.
724
(Robert Collins, John Arbash Meinel)
725
726
* When logging the changes to a particular file, there was a bug if there
727
were ghosts in the revision ancestry. (John Arbash Meinel, #209948)
728
729
* xs4all's ftp server returns a temporary error when trying to list an
730
empty directory, rather than returning an empty list. Adding a
731
workaround so that we don't get spurious failures.
732
(John Arbash Meinel, #215522)
733
734
DOCUMENTATION:
735
736
* Expanded the User Guide to include new chapters on popular plugins and
737
integrating Bazaar into your environment. The *Best practices* chapter
738
was renamed to *Miscellaneous topics* as suggested by community
739
feedback as well. (Ian Clatworthy)
740
741
* Document outlining strategies for TortoiseBzr. (Mark Hammond)
742
743
* Improved the documentation on hooks. (Ian Clatworthy)
744
745
* Update authentication docs regarding ssh agents.
746
(Vincent Ladeuil, #183705)
747
748
TESTING:
749
750
* Add ``thread_name_suffix`` parameter to SmartTCPServer_for_testing, to
751
make it easy to identify which test spawned a thread with an unhandled
752
exception. (Andrew Bennetts)
753
754
* New ``--debugflag``/``-E`` option to ``bzr selftest`` for setting
755
options for debugging tests, these are complementary to the the -D
756
options. The ``-Dselftest_debug`` global option has been replaced by the
757
``-E=allow_debug`` option for selftest. (Andrew Bennetts)
758
759
* Parameterised test ids are preserved correctly to aid diagnosis of test
760
failures. (Robert Collins, Andrew Bennetts)
761
762
* selftest now accepts --starting-with <id> to load only the tests whose id
763
starts with the one specified. This greatly speeds up running the test
764
suite on a limited set of tests and can be used to run the tests for a
765
single module, a single class or even a single test. (Vincent Ladeuil)
766
767
* The test suite modules have been modified to define load_tests() instead
768
of test_suite(). That speeds up selective loading (via --load-list)
769
significantly and provides many examples on how to migrate (grep for
770
load_tests). (Vincent Ladeuil)
771
772
INTERNALS:
773
774
* ``Hooks.install_hook`` is now deprecated in favour of
775
``Hooks.install_named_hook`` which adds a required ``name`` parameter, to
776
avoid having to call ``Hooks.name_hook``. (Daniel Watkins)
777
778
* Implement xml8 serializer. (Aaron Bentley)
779
780
* New form ``@deprecated_method(deprecated_in(1, 5, 0))`` for making
781
deprecation wrappers. (Martin Pool)
782
783
* ``Repository.revision_parents`` is now deprecated in favour of
784
``Repository.get_parent_map([revid])[revid]``. (Jelmer Vernooij)
785
786
* The Python ``assert`` statement is no longer used in Bazaar source, and
787
a test checks this. (Martin Pool)
788
789
API CHANGES:
790
791
* ``bzrlib.status.show_pending_merges`` requires the repository to be
792
locked by the caller. Callers should have been doing it anyway, but it
793
will now raise an exception if they do not. (John Arbash Meinel)
794
795
* Repository.get_data_stream, Repository.get_data_stream_for_search(),
796
Repository.get_deltas_for_revsions(), Repository.revision_trees(),
797
Repository.item_keys_introduced_by() no longer take read locks.
798
(Aaron Bentley)
799
800
* ``LockableFiles.get_utf8`` and ``.get`` are deprecated, as a start
801
towards removing LockableFiles and ``.control_files`` entirely.
802
(Martin Pool)
803
804
* Methods deprecated prior to 1.1 have been removed.

bzr 1.4 2008-04-28
809
------------------
810
811
This release of Bazaar includes handy improvements to the speed of log and
812
status, new options for several commands, improved documentation, and better
813
hooks, including initial code for server-side hooks. A number of bugs have
814
been fixed, particularly in interoperability between different formats or
815
different releases of Bazaar over there network. There's been substantial
816
internal work in both the repository and network code to enable new features
817
and faster performance.
818
819
BUG FIXES:
820
821
* Pushing a branch in "dirstate" format (Branch5) over bzr+ssh would break
822
if the remote server was < version 1.2. This was due to a bug in the
823
RemoteRepository.get_parent_map() fallback code.

bzr 1.4rc2 2008-04-21
828
---------------------
829
830
BUG FIXES:
831
832
* ``bzr log -r ..X bzr://`` was failing, because it was getting a request
833
for ``revision_id=None`` which was not a string.
834
(John Arbash Meinel, #211661)
835
836
* Fixed a bug in handling ghost revisions when logging changes in a
837
particular file. (John Arbash Meinel, #209948)
838
839
* Fix error about "attempt to add line-delta in non-delta knit".
840
(Andrew Bennetts, #205156)
841
842
* Fixed performance degradation in fetching from knit repositories to
843
knits and packs due to parsing the entire revisions.kndx on every graph
844
walk iteration fixed by using the Repository.get_graph API. There was
845
another regression in knit => knit fetching which re-read the index for

bzr 1.4rc1 2008-04-11
851
---------------------
852
853
CHANGES:
854
855
* bzr main script cannot be imported (Benjamin Peterson)
856
857
* On Linux bzr additionally looks for plugins in arch-independent site
858
directory. (Toshio Kuratomi)
859
860
* The ``set_rh`` branch hook is now deprecated. Please migrate
861
any plugins using this hook to use an alternative, e.g.
862
``post_change_branch_tip``. (Ian Clatworthy)
863
864
* When a plugin cannot be loaded as the file path is not a valid
865
python module name bzr will now strip a ``bzr_`` prefix from the
866
front of the suggested name, as many plugins (e.g. bzr-svn)
867
want to be installed without this prefix. It is a common mistake
868
to have a folder named "bzr-svn" for that plugin, especially
869
as this is what bzr branch lp:bzr-svn will give you. (James Westby,
870
Andrew Cowie)
871
872
* UniqueIntegerBugTracker now appends bug-ids instead of joining
873
them to the base URL. Plugins that register bug trackers may
874
need a trailing / added to the base URL if one is not already there.
875
(James Wesby, Andrew Cowie)
876
877
FEATURES:
878
879
* Added start_commit hook for mutable trees. (Jelmer Vernooij, #186422)
880
881
* ``status`` now accepts ``--no-pending`` to show the status without
882
listing pending merges, which speeds up the command a lot on large
883
histories. (James Westby, #202830)
884
885
* New ``post_change_branch_tip`` hook that is called after the
886
branch tip is moved but while the branch is still write-locked.
887
See the User Reference for signature details.
888
(Ian Clatworthy, James Henstridge)
889
890
* Reconfigure can convert a branch to be standalone or to use a shared
891
repository. (Aaron Bentley)
892
893
IMPROVEMENTS:
894
895
* The smart protocol now has support for setting branches' revision info
896
directly. This should make operations like push slightly faster, and is a
897
step towards server-side hooks. The new request method name is
898
``Branch.set_last_revision_info``. (Andrew Bennetts)
899
900
* ``bzr commit --fixes`` now recognises "gnome" as a tag by default.
901
(James Westby, Andrew Cowie)
902
903
* ``bzr switch`` will attempt to find branches to switch to relative to the
904
current branch. E.g. ``bzr switch branchname`` will look for
905
``current_branch/../branchname``. (Robert Collins, Jelmer Vernooij,
906
Wouter van Heyst)
907
908
* Diff is now more specific about execute-bit changes it describes
909
(Chad Miller)
910
911
* Fetching data over HTTP is a bit faster when urllib is used. This is done
912
by forcing it to recv 64k at a time when reading lines in HTTP headers,
913
rather than just 1 byte at a time. (Andrew Bennetts)
914
915
* Log --short and --line are much faster when -r is not specified.
916
(Aaron Bentley)
917
918
* Merge is faster. We no longer check a file's existence unnecessarily
919
when merging the execute bit. (Aaron Bentley)
920
921
* ``bzr status`` on an explicit list of files no longer shows pending
922
merges, making it much faster on large trees. (John Arbash Meinel)
923
924
* The launchpad directory service now warns the user if they have not set
925
their launchpad login and are trying to resolve a URL using it, just
926
in case they want to do a write operation with it. (James Westby)
927
928
* The smart protocol client is slightly faster, because it now only queries
929
the server for the protocol version once per connection. Also, the HTTP
930
transport will now automatically probe for and use a smart server if
931
one is present. You can use the new ``nosmart+`` transport decorator
932
to get the old behaviour. (Andrew Bennetts)
933
934
* The ``version`` command takes a ``--short`` option to print just the
935
version number, for easier use in scripts. (Martin Pool)
936
937
* Various operations with revision specs and commands that calculate
938
revnos and revision ids are faster. (John A. Meinel, Aaron Bentley)
939
940
BUGFIXES:
941
942
* Add ``root_client_path`` parameter to SmartWSGIApp and
943
SmartServerRequest. This makes it possible to publish filesystem
944
locations that don't exactly match URL paths. SmartServerRequest
945
subclasses should use the new ``translate_client_path`` and
946
``transport_from_client_path`` methods when dealing with paths received
947
from a client to take this into account. (Andrew Bennetts, #124089)
948
949
* ``bzr mv a b`` can be now used also to rename previously renamed
950
directories, not only files. (Lukáš Lalinský, #107967)
951
952
* ``bzr uncommit --local`` can now remove revisions from the local
953
branch to be symmetric with ``bzr commit --local``.
954
(John Arbash Meinel, #93412)
955
956
* Don't ask for a password if there is no real terminal.
957
(Alexander Belchenko, #69851)
958
959
* Fix a bug causing a ValueError crash in ``parse_line_delta_iter`` when
960
fetching revisions from a knit to pack repository or vice versa using
961
bzr:// (including over http or ssh).
962
(#208418, Andrew Bennetts, Martin Pool, Robert Collins)
963
964
* Fixed ``_get_line`` in ``bzrlib.smart.medium``, which was buggy. Also
965
fixed ``_get_bytes`` in the same module to use the push back buffer.
966
These bugs had no known impact in normal use, but were problematic for
967
developers working on the code, and were likely to cause real bugs sooner
968
or later. (Andrew Bennetts)
969
970
* Implement handling of basename parameter for DefaultMail. (James Westby)
971
972
* Incompatibility with Paramiko versions newer than 1.7.2 was fixed.
973
(Andrew Bennetts, #213425)
974
975
* Launchpad locations (lp: URLs) can be pulled. (Aaron Bentley, #181945)
976
977
* Merges that add files to deleted root directories complete. They
978
do create conflicts. (Aaron Bentley, #210092)
979
980
* vsftp's return ``550 RNFR command failed.`` supported.
981
(Marcus Trautwig, #129786)

DOCUMENTATION:
984
985
* Improved documentation on send/merge relationship. (Peter Schuller)
986
987
* Minor fixes to the User Guide. (Matthew Fuller)
988
989
* Reduced the evangelism in the User Guide. (Ian Clatworthy)
990
991
* Added Integrating with Bazaar document for developers (Martin Albisetti)
992
993
API BREAKS:
994
995
* Attempting to pull data from a ghost aware repository (e.g. knits) into a
996
non-ghost aware repository such as weaves will now fail if there are
997
ghosts. (Robert Collins)
998
999
* ``KnitVersionedFile`` no longer accepts an ``access_mode`` parameter, and
1000
now requires the ``index`` and ``access_method`` parameters to be
1001
supplied. A compatible shim has been kept in the new function
1002
``knit.make_file_knit``. (Robert Collins)
1003
1004
* Log formatters must now provide log_revision instead of show and
1005
show_merge_revno methods. The latter had been deprecated since the 0.17
1006
release. (James Westby)
1007
1008
* ``LoopbackSFTP`` is now called ``SocketAsChannelAdapter``.
1009
(Andrew Bennetts)
1010
1011
* ``osutils.backup_file`` is removed. (Alexander Belchenko)
1012
1013
* ``Repository.get_revision_graph`` is deprecated, with no replacement
1014
method. The method was size(history) and not desirable. (Robert Collins)
1015
1016
* ``revision.revision_graph`` is deprecated, with no replacement function.
1017
The function was size(history) and not desirable. (Robert Collins)
1018
1019
* ``Transport.get_shared_medium`` is deprecated. Use
1020
``Transport.get_smart_medium`` instead. (Andrew Bennetts)
1021
1022
* ``VersionedFile`` factories now accept a get_scope parameter rather
1023
than using a call to ``transaction_finished``, allowing the removal of
1024
the fixed list of versioned files per repository. (Robert Collins)
1025
1026
* ``VersionedFile.annotate_iter`` is deprecated. While in principle this
1027
allowed lower memory use, all users of annotations wanted full file
1028
annotations, and there is no storage format suitable for incremental
1029
line-by-line annotation. (Robert Collins)
1030
1031
* ``VersionedFile.clone_text`` is deprecated. This performance optimisation
1032
is no longer used - reading the content of a file that is undergoing a
1033
file level merge to identical state on two branches is rare enough, and
1034
not expensive enough to special case. (Robert Collins)
1035
1036
* ``VersionedFile.clear_cache`` and ``enable_cache`` are deprecated.
1037
These methods added significant complexity to the ``VersionedFile``
1038
implementation, but were only used for optimising fetches from knits -
1039
which can be done from outside the knit layer, or via a caching
1040
decorator. As knits are not the default format, the complexity is no
1041
longer worth paying. (Robert Collins)
1042
1043
* ``VersionedFile.create_empty`` is removed. This method presupposed a
1044
sensible mapping to a transport for individual files, but pack backed
1045
versioned files have no such mapping. (Robert Collins)
1046
1047
* ``VersionedFile.get_graph`` is deprecated, with no replacement method.
1048
The method was size(history) and not desirable. (Robert Collins)
1049
1050
* ``VersionedFile.get_graph_with_ghosts`` is deprecated, with no
1051
replacement method. The method was size(history) and not desirable.
1052
(Robert Collins)
1053
1054
* ``VersionedFile.get_parents`` is deprecated, please use
1055
``VersionedFile.get_parent_map``. (Robert Collins)
1056
1057
* ``VersionedFile.get_sha1`` is deprecated, please use
1058
``VersionedFile.get_sha1s``. (Robert Collins)
1059
1060
* ``VersionedFile.has_ghost`` is now deprecated, as it is both expensive
1061
and unused outside of a single test. (Robert Collins)
1062
1063
* ``VersionedFile.iter_parents`` is now deprecated in favour of
1064
``get_parent_map`` which can be used to instantiate a Graph on a
1065
VersionedFile. (Robert Collins)
1066
1067
* ``VersionedFileStore`` no longer uses the transaction parameter given
1068
to most methods; amongst other things this means that the
1069
get_weave_or_empty method no longer guarantees errors on a missing weave
1070
in a readonly transaction, and no longer caches versioned file instances
1071
which reduces memory pressure (but requires more careful management by
1072
callers to preserve performance). (Robert Collins)
1073
1074
TESTING:
1075
1076
* New -Dselftest_debug flag disables clearing of the debug flags during
1077
tests. This is useful if you want to use e.g. -Dhpss to help debug a
1078
failing test. Be aware that using this feature is likely to cause
1079
spurious test failures if used with the full suite. (Andrew Bennetts)
1080
1081
* selftest --load-list now uses a new more agressive test loader that will
1082
avoid loading unneeded modules and building their tests. Plugins can use
1083
this new loader by defining a load_tests function instead of a test_suite
1084
function. (a forthcoming patch will provide many examples on how to
1085
implement this).
1086
(Vincent Ladeuil)
1087
1088
* selftest --load-list now does some sanity checks regarding duplicate test
1089
IDs and tests present in the list but not found in the actual test suite.
1090
(Vincent Ladeuil)
1091
1092
* Slightly more concise format for the selftest progress bar, so there's
1093
more space to show the test name. (Martin Pool) ::
1094
1095
[2500/10884, 1fail, 3miss in 1m29s] test_revisionnamespaces.TestRev
1096
1097
* The test suite takes much less memory to run, and is a bit faster. This
1098
is done by clearing most attributes of TestCases after running them, if
1099
they succeeded. (Andrew Bennetts)
1100
1101
INTERNALS:
1102
1103
* Added ``_build_client_protocol`` to ``_SmartClient``. (Andrew Bennetts)
1104
1105
* Added basic infrastructure for automatic plugin suggestion.
1106
(Martin Albisetti)
1107
1108
* If a ``LockableFiles`` object is not explicitly unlocked (for example
1109
because of a missing ``try/finally`` block, it will give a warning but
1110
not automatically unlock itself. (Previously they did.) This
1111
sometimes caused knock-on errors if for example the network connection
1112
had already failed, and should not be relied upon by code.
1113
(Martin Pool, #109520)
1114
1115
* ``make dist`` target to build a release tarball, and also
1116
``check-dist-tarball`` and ``dist-upload-escudero``. (Martin Pool)
1117
1118
* The ``read_response_tuple`` method of ``SmartClientRequestProtocol*``
1119
classes will now raise ``UnknownSmartMethod`` when appropriate, so that
1120
callers don't need to try distinguish unknown request errors from other
1121
errors. (Andrew Bennetts)
1122
1123
* ``set_make_working_trees`` is now implemented provided on all repository
1124
implementations (Aaron Bentley)
1125
1126
* ``VersionedFile`` now has a new method ``get_parent_map`` which, like
1127
``Graph.get_parent_map`` returns a dict of key:parents. (Robert Collins)

bzr 1.3 2008-03-20
1148
------------------
1149
1150
Bazaar has become part of the GNU project <http://www.gnu.org>
1151
1152
Many operations that act on history, including ``log`` and ``annotate`` are now
1153
substantially faster. Several bugs have been fixed and several new options and
1154
features have been added.
1155
1156
TESTING:
1157
1158
* Avoid spurious failure of ``TestVersion.test_version`` matching

NOTES WHEN UPGRADING:
1167
1168
* The backup directory created by ``upgrade`` is now called
1169
``backup.bzr``, not ``.bzr.backup``. (Martin Albisetti)
1170
1171
CHANGES:
1172
1173
* A new repository format 'development' has been added. This format will
1174
represent the latest 'in-progress' format that the bzr developers are
1175
interested in getting early-adopter testing and feedback on.
1176
``doc/developers/development-repo.txt`` has detailed information.
1177
(Robert Collins)
1178
1179
* BZR_LOG environment variable controls location of .bzr.log trace file.
1180
User can suppress writing messages to .bzr.log by using '/dev/null'
1181
filename (on Linux) or 'NUL' (on Windows). If BZR_LOG variable
1182
is not defined but BZR_HOME is defined then default location
1183
for .bzr.log trace file is ``$BZR_HOME/.bzr.log``.
1184
(Alexander Belchenko)
1185
1186
* ``launchpad`` builtin plugin now shipped as separate part in standalone
1187
bzr.exe, installed to ``C:\Program Files\Bazaar\plugins`` directory,
1188
and standalone installer allows user to skip installation of this plugin.
1189
(Alexander Belchenko)
1190
1191
* Restore auto-detection of plink.exe on Windows. (Dmitry Vasiliev)
1192
1193
* Version number is now shown as "1.2" or "1.2pr2", without zeroed or
1194
missing final fields. (Martin Pool)
1195
1196
FEATURES:
1197
1198
* ``branch`` and ``checkout`` can hard-link working tree files, which is
1199
faster and saves space. (Aaron Bentley)
1200
1201
* ``bzr send`` will now also look at the ``child_submit_to`` setting in
1202
the submit branch to determine the email address to send to.
1203
(Jelmer Vernooij)
1204
1205
IMPROVEMENTS:
1206
1207
* BzrBranch._lefthand_history is faster on pack repos. (Aaron Bentley)
1208
1209
* Branch6.generate_revision_history is faster. (Aaron Bentley)
1210
1211
* Directory services can now be registered, allowing special URLs to be
1212
dereferenced into real URLs. This is a generalization and cleanup of
1213
the lp: transport lookup. (Aaron Bentley)
1214
1215
* Merge directives that are automatically attached to emails have nicer
1216
filenames, based on branch-nick + revno. (Aaron Bentley)
1217
1218
* ``push`` has a ``--revision`` option, to specify what revision to push up
1219
to. (Daniel Watkins)
1220
1221
* Significantly reducing execution time and network traffic for trivial
1222
case of running ``bzr missing`` command for two identical branches.
1223
(Alexander Belchenko)
1224
1225
* Speed up operations that look at the revision graph (such as 'bzr log').
1226
``KnitPackRepositor.get_revision_graph`` uses ``Graph.iter_ancestry`` to
1227
extract the revision history. This allows filtering ghosts while
1228
stepping instead of needing to peek ahead. (John Arbash Meinel)
1229
1230
* The ``hooks`` command lists installed hooks, to assist in debugging.
1231
(Daniel Watkins)
1232
1233
* Updates to how ``annotate`` work. Should see a measurable improvement in
1234
performance and memory consumption for file with a lot of merges.
1235
Also, correctly handle when a line is introduced by both parents (it
1236
should be attributed to the first merge which notices this, and not
1237
to all subsequent merges.) (John Arbash Meinel)
1238
1239
BUGFIXES:
1240
1241
* Autopacking no longer holds the full set of inventory lines in
1242
memory while copying. For large repositories, this can amount to
1243
hundreds of MB of ram consumption.
1244
(Ian Clatworthy, John Arbash Meinel)
1245
1246
* Cherrypicking when using ``--format=merge3`` now explictly excludes
1247
BASE lines. (John Arbash Meinel, #151731)
1248
1249
* Disable plink's interactive prompt for password.
1250
(#107593, Dmitry Vasiliev)
1251
1252
* Encode command line arguments from unicode to user_encoding before
1253
invoking external mail client in `bzr send` command.
1254
(#139318, Alexander Belchenko)
1255
1256
* Fixed problem connecting to ``bzr+https://`` servers.
1257
(#198793, John Ferlito)
1258
1259
* Improved error reporting in the Launchpad plugin. (Daniel Watkins,
1260
#196618)
1261
1262
* Include quick-start-summary.svg file to python-based installer(s)
1263
for Windows. (#192924, Alexander Belchenko)
1264
1265
* lca merge now respects specified files. (Aaron Bentley)
1266
1267
* Make version-info --custom imply --all. (#195560, James Westby)
1268
1269
* ``merge --preview`` now works for merges that add or modify
1270
symlinks (James Henstridge)
1271
1272
* Redirecting the output from ``bzr merge`` (when the remembered
1273
location is used) now works. (John Arbash Meinel)
1274
1275
* setup.py script explicitly checks for Python version.
1276
(Jari Aalto, Alexander Belchenko, #200569)
1277
1278
* UnknownFormatErrors no longer refer to branches regardless of kind of
1279
unknown format. (Daniel Watkins, #173980)
1280
1281
* Upgrade bundled ConfigObj to version 4.5.2, which properly quotes #
1282
signs, among other small improvements. (Matt Nordhoff, #86838)
1283
1284
* Use correct indices when emitting LCA conflicts. This fixes IndexError
1285
errors. (Aaron Bentley, #196780)
1286
1287
DOCUMENTATION:

1292
API BREAKS:
1293
1294
* Support for loading plugins from zip files and
1295
``bzrlib.plugin.load_from_zip()`` function are deprecated.
1296
(Alexander Belchenko)
1297
1298
TESTING:
1299
1300
* Added missing blackbox tests for ``modified`` (Adrian Wilkins)
1301
1302
* The branch interface tests were invalid for branches using rich-root
1303
repositories because the empty string is not a valid file-id.
1304
(Robert Collins)
1305
1306
INTERNALS:
1307
1308
* ``Graph.iter_ancestry`` returns the ancestry of revision ids. Similar to
1309
``Repository.get_revision_graph()`` except it includes ghosts and you can
1310
stop part-way through. (John Arbash Meinel)
1311
1312
* New module ``tools/package_mf.py`` provide custom module finder for
1313
python packages (improves standard python library's modulefinder.py)
1314
used by ``setup.py`` script while building standalone bzr.exe.
1315
(Alexander Belchenko)
1316
1317
* New remote method ``RemoteBzrDir.find_repositoryV2`` adding support for
1318
detecting external lookup support on remote repositories. This method is
1319
now attempted first when lookup up repositories, leading to an extra
1320
round trip on older bzr smart servers. (Robert Collins)
1321
1322
* Repository formats have a new supported-feature attribute
1323
``supports_external_lookups`` used to indicate repositories which support
1324
falling back to other repositories when they have partial data.
1325
(Robert Collins)
1326
1327
* ``Repository.get_revision_graph_with_ghosts`` and
1328
``bzrlib.revision.(common_ancestor,MultipleRevisionSources,common_graph)``
1329
have been deprecated. (John Arbash Meinel)
1330
1331
* ``Tree.iter_changes`` is now a public API, replacing the work-in-progress
1332
``Tree._iter_changes``. The api is now considered stable and ready for
1333
external users. (Aaron Bentley)
1334
1335
* The bzrdir format registry now accepts an ``alias`` keyword to
1336
register_metadir, used to indicate that a format name is an alias for
1337
some other format and thus should not be reported when describing the
1338
format. (Robert Collins)

NOTES WHEN UPGRADING:
1353
1354
* Fetching via the smart protocol may need to reconnect once during a fetch
1355
if the remote server is running Bazaar 1.1 or earlier, because the client
1356
attempts to use more efficient requests that confuse older servers. You
1357
may be required to re-enter a password or passphrase when this happens.
1358
This won't happen if the server is upgraded to Bazaar 1.2.
1359
(Andrew Bennetts)
1360
1361
CHANGES:
1362
1363
* Fetching via bzr+ssh will no longer fill ghosts by default (this is
1364
consistent with pack-0.92 fetching over SFTP). (Robert Collins)
1365
1366
* Formatting of ``bzr plugins`` output is changed to be more human-
1367
friendly. Full path of plugins locations will be shown only with
1368
``--verbose`` command-line option. (Alexander Belchenko)
1369
1370
* ``merge`` now prefers to use the submit branch, but will fall back to
1371
parent branch. For many users, this has no effect. But some users who
1372
pull and merge on the same branch will notice a change. This change
1373
makes it easier to work on a branch on two different machines, pulling
1374
between the machines, while merging from the upstream.
1375
``merge --remember`` can now be used to set the submit_branch.
1376
(Aaron Bentley)
1377
1378
FEATURES:
1379
1380
* ``merge --preview`` produces a diff of the changes merge would make,
1381
but does not actually perform the merge. (Aaron Bentley)
1382
1383
* New smart method ``Repository.get_parent_map`` for getting revision
1384
parent data. This returns additional parent information topologically
1385
adjacent to the requested data to reduce round trip latency impacts.
1386
(Robert Collins)
1387
1388
* New smart method, ``Repository.stream_revisions_chunked``, for fetching
1389
revision data that streams revision data via a chunked encoding. This
1390
avoids buffering large amounts of revision data on the server and on the
1391
client, and sends less data to the server to request the revisions.
1392
(Andrew Bennetts, Robert Collins, #178353)
1393
1394
* The launchpad plugin now handles lp urls of the form
1395
``lp://staging/``, ``lp://demo/``, ``lp://dev/`` to use the appropriate
1396
launchpad instance to do the resolution of the branch identities.
1397
This is primarily of use to Launchpad developers, but can also
1398
be used by other users who want to try out Launchpad as
1399
a branch location without messing up their public Launchpad
1400
account. Branches that are pushed to the staging environment
1401
have an expected lifetime of one day. (Tim Penhey)

1403
IMPROVEMENTS:
1404
1405
* Creating a new branch no longer tries to read the entire revision-history
1406
unnecessarily over smart server operations. (Robert Collins)
1407
1408
* Fetching between different repository formats with compatible models now
1409
takes advantage of the smart method to stream revisions. (Andrew Bennetts)
1410
1411
* The ``--coverage`` option is now global, rather specific to ``bzr
1412
selftest``. (Andrew Bennetts)
1413
1414
* The ``register-branch`` command will now use the public url of the branch
1415
containing the current directory, if one has been set and no explicit
1416
branch is provided. (Robert Collins)
1417
1418
* Tweak the ``reannotate`` code path to optimize the 2-parent case.
1419
Speeds up ``bzr annotate`` with a pack repository by approx 3:2.

1421
1422
BUGFIXES:
1423
1424
* Calculate remote path relative to the shared medium in _SmartClient. This
1425
is related to the problem in bug #124089. (Andrew Bennetts)
1426
1427
* Cleanly handle connection errors in smart protocol version two, the same
1428
way as they are handled by version one. (Andrew Bennetts)
1429
1430
* Clearer error when ``version-info --custom`` is used without
1431
``--template`` (Lukáš Lalinský)
1432
1433
* Don't raise UnavailableFeature during test setup when medusa is not
1434
available or tearDown is never called leading to nasty side effects.
1435
(#137823, Vincent Ladeuil)
1436
1437
* If a plugin's test suite cannot be loaded, for example because of a syntax
1438
error in the tests, then ``selftest`` fails, rather than just printing
1439
a warning. (Martin Pool, #189771)
1440
1441
* List possible values for BZR_SSH environment variable in env-variables
1442
help topic. (Alexander Belchenko, #181842)
1443
1444
* New methods ``push_log_file`` and ``pop_log_file`` to intercept messages:
1445
popping the log redirection now precisely restores the previous state,
1446
which makes it easier to use bzr log output from other programs.
1447
TestCaseInTempDir no longer depends on a log redirection being established
1448
by the test framework, which lets bzr tests cleanly run from a normal
1449
unittest runner.
1450
(#124153, #124849, Martin Pool, Jonathan Lange)
1451
1452
* ``pull --quiet`` is now more quiet, in particular a message is no longer
1453
printed when the remembered pull location is used. (James Westby,
1454
#185907)
1455
1456
* ``reconfigure`` can safely be interrupted while fetching.
1457
(Aaron Bentley, #179316)
1458
1459
* ``reconfigure`` preserves tags when converting to and from lightweight
1460
checkouts. (Aaron Bentley, #182040)
1461
1462
* Stop polluting /tmp when running selftest.
1463
(Vincent Ladeuil, #123623)
1464
1465
* Switch from NFKC => NFC for normalization checks. NFC allows a few
1466
more characters which should be considered valid.
1467
(John Arbash Meinel, #185458)
1468
1469
* The launchpad plugin now uses the ``edge`` xmlrpc server to avoid
1470
interacting badly with a bug on the launchpad side. (Robert Collins)
1471
1472
* Unknown hostnames when connecting to a ``bzr://`` URL no longer cause
1473
tracebacks. (Andrew Bennetts, #182849)
1474
1475
API BREAKS:
1476
1477
* Classes implementing Merge types like Merge3Merger must now accept (and
1478
honour) a do_merge flag in their constructor. (Aaron Bentley)
1479
1480
* ``Repository.add_inventory`` and ``add_revision`` now require the caller
1481
to previously take a write lock (and start a write group.)
1482
(Martin Pool)
1483
1484
TESTING:
1485
1486
* selftest now accepts --load-list <file> to load a test id list. This
1487
speeds up running the test suite on a limited set of tests.
1488
(Vincent Ladeuil)
1489
1490
INTERNALS:
1491
1492
* Add a new method ``get_result`` to graph search objects. The resulting
1493
``SearchResult`` can be used to recreate the search later, which will
1494
be useful in reducing network traffic. (Robert Collins)
1495
1496
* Use convenience function to check whether two repository handles
1497
are referring to the same repository in ``Repository.get_graph``.
1498
(Jelmer Vernooij, #187162)
1499
1500
* Fetching now passes the find_ghosts flag through to the
1501
``InterRepository.missing_revision_ids`` call consistently for all
1502
repository types. This will enable faster missing revision discovery with
1503
bzr+ssh. (Robert Collins)
1504
1505
* Fix error handling in Repository.insert_data_stream. (Lukas Lalinsky)
1506
1507
* ``InterRepository.missing_revision_ids`` is now deprecated in favour of
1508
``InterRepository.search_missing_revision_ids`` which returns a
1509
``bzrlib.graph.SearchResult`` suitable for making requests from the smart
1510
server. (Robert Collins)
1511
1512
* New error ``NoPublicBranch`` for commands that need a public branch to
1513
operate. (Robert Collins)
1514
1515
* New method ``iter_inventories`` on Repository for access to many
1516
inventories. This is primarily used by the ``revision_trees`` method, as
1517
direct access to inventories is discouraged. (Robert Collins)
1518
1519
* New method ``next_with_ghosts`` on the Graph breadth-first-search objects
1520
which will split out ghosts and present parents into two separate sets,
1521
useful for code which needs to be aware of ghosts (e.g. fetching data
1522
cares about ghosts during revision selection). (Robert Collins)
1523
1524
* Record a timestamp against each mutter to the trace file, relative to the
1525
first import of bzrlib. (Andrew Bennetts)
1526
1527
* ``Repository.get_data_stream`` is now deprecated in favour of
1528
``Repository.get_data_stream_for_search`` which allows less network
1529
traffic when requesting data streams over a smart server. (Robert Collins)
1530
1531
* ``RemoteBzrDir._get_tree_branch`` no longer triggers ``_ensure_real``,
1532
removing one round trip on many network operations. (Robert Collins)
1533
1534
* RemoteTransport's ``recommended_page_size`` method now returns 64k, like
1535
SFTPTransport and HttpTransportBase. (Andrew Bennetts)
1536
1537
* Repository has a new method ``has_revisions`` which signals the presence
1538
of many revisions by returning a set of the revisions listed which are
1539
present. This can be done by index queries without reading data for parent
1540
revision names etc. (Robert Collins)

---------------------
1550
1551
CHANGES:
1552
1553
* Dotted revision numbers have been revised. Instead of growing longer with
1554
nested branches the branch number just increases. (eg instead of 1.1.1.1.1
1555
we now report 1.2.1.) This helps scale long lived branches which have many
1556
feature branches merged between them. (John Arbash Meinel)
1557
1558
* The syntax ``bzr diff branch1 branch2`` is no longer supported.
1559
Use ``bzr diff branch1 --new branch2`` instead. This change has
1560
been made to remove the ambiguity where ``branch2`` is in fact a
1561
specific file to diff within ``branch1``.
1562
1563
FEATURES:
1564
1565
* New option to use custom template-based formats in ``bzr version-info``.
1566
(Lukáš Lalinský)
1567
1568
* diff '--using' allows an external diff tool to be used for files.
1569
(Aaron Bentley)
1570
1571
* New "lca" merge-type for fast everyday merging that also supports
1572
criss-cross merges. (Aaron Bentley)
1573
1574
IMPROVEMENTS:
1575
1576
* ``annotate`` now doesn't require a working tree. (Lukáš Lalinský,
1577
#90049)
1578
1579
* ``branch`` and ``checkout`` can now use files from a working tree to
1580
to speed up the process. For checkout, this requires the new
1581
--files-from flag. (Aaron Bentley)
1582
1583
* ``bzr diff`` now sorts files in alphabetical order. (Aaron Bentley)
1584
1585
* ``bzr diff`` now works on branches without working trees. Tree-less
1586
branches can also be compared to each other and to working trees using
1587
the new diff options ``--old`` and ``--new``. Diffing between branches,
1588
with or without trees, now supports specific file filtering as well.
1589
(Ian Clatworthy, #6700)
1590
1591
* ``bzr pack`` now orders revision texts in topological order, with newest
1592
at the start of the file, promoting linear reads for ``bzr log`` and the
1593
like. This partially fixes #154129. (Robert Collins)
1594
1595
* Merge directives now fetch prerequisites from the target branch if
1596
needed. (Aaron Bentley)
1597
1598
* pycurl now handles digest authentication.
1599
(Vincent Ladeuil)
1600
1601
* ``reconfigure`` can now convert from repositories. (Aaron Bentley)
1602
1603
* ``-l`` is now a short form for ``--limit`` in ``log``. (Matt Nordhoff)
1604
1605
* ``merge`` now warns when merge directives cause cherrypicks.
1606
(Aaron Bentley)
1607
1608
* ``split`` now supported, to enable splitting large trees into smaller
1609
pieces. (Aaron Bentley)
1610
1611
BUGFIXES:
1612
1613
* Avoid AttributeError when unlocking a pack repository when an error occurs.
1614
(Martin Pool, #180208)
1615
1616
* Better handle short reads when processing multiple range requests.
1617
(Vincent Ladeuil, #179368)
1618
1619
* build_tree acceleration uses the correct path when a file has been moved.
1620
(Aaron Bentley)
1621
1622
* ``commit`` now succeeds when a checkout and its master branch share a
1623
repository. (Aaron Bentley, #177592)
1624
1625
* Fixed error reporting of unsupported timezone format in
1626
``log --timezone``. (Lukáš Lalinský, #178722)
1627
1628
* Fixed Unicode encoding error in ``ignored`` when the output is
1629
redirected to a pipe. (Lukáš Lalinský)
1630
1631
* Fix traceback when sending large response bodies over the smart protocol
1632
on Windows. (Andrew Bennetts, #115781)
1633
1634
* Fix ``urlutils.relative_url`` for the case of two ``file:///`` URLs
1635
pointed to different logical drives on Windows.
1636
(Alexander Belchenko, #90847)
1637
1638
* HTTP test servers are now compatible with the http protocol version 1.1.
1639
(Vincent Ladeuil, #175524)
1640
1641
* _KnitParentsProvider.get_parent_map now handles requests for ghosts
1642
correctly, instead of erroring or attributing incorrect parents to ghosts.
1643
(Aaron Bentley)
1644
1645
* ``merge --weave --uncommitted`` now works. (Aaron Bentley)
1646
1647
* pycurl authentication handling was broken and incomplete. Fix handling of
1648
user:pass embedded in the urls.
1649
(Vincent Ladeuil, #177643)
1650
1651
* Files inside non-directories are now handled like other conflict types.
1652
(Aaron Bentley, #177390)
1653
1654
* ``reconfigure`` is able to convert trees into lightweight checkouts.
1655
(Aaron Bentley)
1656
1657
* Reduce lockdir timeout to 0 when running ``bzr serve``. (Andrew Bennetts,
1658
#148087)
1659
1660
* Test that the old ``version_info_format`` functions still work, even
1661
though they are deprecated. (John Arbash Meinel, ShenMaq, #177872)
1662
1663
* Transform failures no longer cause ImmortalLimbo errors (Aaron Bentley,
1664
#137681)
1665
1666
* ``uncommit`` works even when the commit messages of revisions to be
1667
removed use characters not supported in the terminal encoding.
1668
(Aaron Bentley)
1669
1670
* When dumb http servers return whole files instead of the requested ranges,
1671
read the remaining bytes by chunks to avoid overflowing network buffers.
1672
(Vincent Ladeuil, #175886)
1673
1674
DOCUMENTATION:
1675
1676
* Minor tweaks made to the bug tracker integration documentation.
1677
(Ian Clatworthy)
1678
1679
* Reference material has now be moved out of the User Guide and added
1680
to the User Reference. The User Reference has gained 4 sections as
1681
a result: Authenication Settings, Configuration Settings, Conflicts
1682
and Hooks. All help topics are now dumped into text format in the
1683
doc/en/user-reference directory for those who like browsing that
1684
information in their editor. (Ian Clatworthy)
1685
1686
* *Using Bazaar with Launchpad* tutorial added. (Ian Clatworthy)
1687
1688
INTERNALS:
1689
1690
* find_* methods available for BzrDirs, Branches and WorkingTrees.

1693
* Help topics can now be loaded from files.
1694
(Ian Clatworthy, Alexander Belchenko)
1695
1696
* get_parent_map now always provides tuples as its output. (Aaron Bentley)
1697
1698
* Parent Providers should now implement ``get_parent_map`` returning a
1699
dictionary instead of ``get_parents`` returning a list.
1700
``Graph.get_parents`` is now deprecated. (John Arbash Meinel,
1701
Robert Collins)
1702
1703
* Patience Diff now supports arbitrary python objects, as long as they
1704
support ``hash()``. (John Arbash Meinel)
1705
1706
* Reduce selftest overhead to establish test names by memoization.

1713
* Modules can now customise their tests by defining a ``load_tests``
1714
attribute. ``pydoc bzrlib.tests.TestUtil.TestLoader.loadTestsFromModule``
1715
for the documentation on this attribute. (Robert Collins)
1716
1717
* New helper function ``bzrlib.tests.condition_id_re`` which helps
1718
filter tests based on a regular expression search on the tests id.
1719
(Robert Collins)
1720
1721
* New helper function ``bzrlib.tests.condition_isinstance`` which helps
1722
filter tests based on class. (Robert Collins)
1723
1724
* New helper function ``bzrlib.tests.exclude_suite_by_condition`` which
1725
generalises the ``exclude_suite_by_re`` function. (Robert Collins)
1726
1727
* New helper function ``bzrlib.tests.filter_suite_by_condition`` which
1728
generalises the ``filter_suite_by_re`` function. (Robert Collins)
1729
1730
* New helper method ``bzrlib.tests.exclude_tests_by_re`` which gives a new
1731
TestSuite that does not contain tests from the input that matched a
1732
regular expression. (Robert Collins)
1733
1734
* New helper method ``bzrlib.tests.randomize_suite`` which returns a
1735
randomized copy of the input suite. (Robert Collins)
1736
1737
* New helper method ``bzrlib.tests.split_suite_by_re`` which splits a test
1738
suite into two according to a regular expression. (Robert Collins)
1739
1740
* Parametrize all http tests for the transport implementations, the http
1741
protocol versions (1.0 and 1.1) and the authentication schemes.
1742
(Vincent Ladeuil)
1743
1744
* The ``exclude_pattern`` and ``random_order`` parameters to the function
1745
``bzrlib.tests.filter_suite_by_re`` have been deprecated. (Robert Collins)
1746
1747
* The method ``bzrlib.tests.sort_suite_by_re`` has been deprecated. It is
1748
replaced by the new helper methods added in this release. (Robert Collins)

BUGFIXES:
1779
1780
* Fix Makefile rules for doc generation. (Ian Clatworthy, #175207)
1781
1782
* Give more feedback during long http downloads by making readv deliver data
1783
as it arrives for urllib, and issue more requests for pycurl. High latency
1784
networks are better handled by urllib, the pycurl implementation give more
1785
feedback but also incur more latency.
1786
(Vincent Ladeuil, #173010)
1787

* ``bzr commit`` now doesn't print the revision number twice. (Matt
1817
Nordhoff, #172612)

1819
* New configuration option ``bugtracker_<tracker_abbrevation>_url`` to
1820
define locations of bug trackers that are not directly supported by
1821
bzr or a plugin. The URL will be treated as a template and ``{id}``
1822
placeholders will be replaced by specific bug IDs. (Lukáš Lalinský)
1823
1824
* Support logging single merge revisions with short and line log formatters.
1825

1827
* User Guide enhanced with suggested readability improvements from
1828
Matt Revell and corrections from John Arbash Meinel. (Ian Clatworthy)
1829
1830
* Quick Start Guide renamed to Quick Start Card, moved down in
1831
the catalog, provided in pdf and png format and updated to refer
1832
to ``send`` instead of ``bundle``. (Ian Clatworthy, #165080)
1833
1834
* ``switch`` can now be used on heavyweight checkouts as well as
1835
lightweight ones. After switching a heavyweight checkout, the
1836
local branch is a mirror/cache of the new bound branch and
1837
uncommitted changes in the working tree are merged. As a safety
1838
check, if there are local commits in a checkout which have not
1839
been committed to the previously bound branch, then ``switch``
1840
fails unless the ``--force`` option is given. This option is
1841
now also required if the branch a lightweight checkout is pointing
1842
to has been moved. (Ian Clatworthy)

1858
(Alexander Belchenko, #111758)
1859
1860
* Catch ShortReadvErrors while using pycurl. Also make readv more robust by
1861
allowing multiple GET requests to be issued if too many ranges are
1862
required.
1863
(Vincent Ladeuil, #172701)

default is used when creating new repositories with ``init`` and
1884
``init-repo``, and when branching over bzr+ssh or bzr+hpss.
1885
(See https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/164626)
1886
1887
This format can be read and written by Bazaar 0.92 and later, and
1888
data can be transferred to and from older formats.
1889
1890
To upgrade, please reconcile your repository (``bzr reconcile``), and then
1891
upgrade (``bzr upgrade``).
1892
1893
``pack-0.92`` offers substantially better scaling and performance than the
1894
previous knits format. Some operations are slower where the code already
1895
had bad scaling characteristics under knits, the pack format makes such
1896
operations more visible as part of being more scalable overall. We will
1897
correct such operations over the coming releases and encourage the filing
1898
of bugs on any operation which you observe to be slower in a packs
1899
repository. One particular case that we do not intend to fix is pulling
1900
data from a pack repository into a knit repository over a high latency
1901
link; downgrading such data requires reinsertion of the file texts, and
1902
this is a classic space/time tradeoff. The current implementation is
1903
conservative on memory usage because we need to support converting data
1904
from any tree without problems.

CHANGES:
1908
1909
* Disable detection of plink.exe as possible ssh vendor. Plink vendor
1910
still available if user selects it explicitly with BZR_SSH environment
1911
variable. (Alexander Belchenko, workaround for bug #107593)
1912
1913
* The pack format is now accessible as "pack-0.92", or "pack-0.92-subtree"
1914
to enable the subtree functions (for example, for bzr-svn).
1915
See http://doc.bazaar-vcs.org/latest/developer/packrepo.html
1916
(Martin Pool)
1917
1918
FEATURES:
1919
1920
* New ``authentication.conf`` file holding the password or other credentials
1921
for remote servers. This can be used for ssh, sftp, smtp and other
1922
supported transports.
1923
(Vincent Ladeuil)
1924
1925
* New rich-root and rich-root-pack formats, recording the same data about
1926
tree roots that's recorded for all other directories.
1927
(Aaron Bentley, #164639)
1928
1929
* ``pack-0.92`` repositories can now be reconciled.
1930
(Robert Collins, #154173)
1931
1932
* ``switch`` command added for changing the branch a lightweight checkout
1933
is associated with and updating the tree to reflect the latest content
1934
accordingly. This command was previously part of the BzrTools plug-in.
1935
(Ian Clatworthy, Aaron Bentley, David Allouche)
1936
1937
* ``reconfigure`` command can now convert branches, trees, or checkouts to
1938
lightweight checkouts. (Aaron Bentley)
1939
1940
PERFORMANCE:
1941
1942
* Commit updates the state of the working tree via a delta rather than
1943
supplying entirely new basis trees. For commit of a single specified file
1944
this reduces the wall clock time for commit by roughly a 30%.
1945
(Robert Collins, Martin Pool)
1946
1947
* Commit with many automatically found deleted paths no longer performs
1948
linear scanning for the children of those paths during inventory
1949
iteration. This should fix commit performance blowing out when many such
1950
paths occur during commit. (Robert Collins, #156491)
1951
1952
* Fetch with pack repositories will no longer read the entire history graph.
1953
(Robert Collins, #88319)
1954
1955
* Revert takes out an appropriate lock when reverting to a basis tree, and
1956
does not read the basis inventory twice. (Robert Collins)
1957
1958
* Diff does not require an inventory to be generated on dirstate trees.
1959
(Aaron Bentley, #149254)
1960
1961
* New annotate merge (--merge-type=weave) implementation is fast on
1962
versionedfiles withough cached annotations, e.g. pack-0.92.
1963
(Aaron Bentley)
1964
1965
IMPROVEMENTS:
1966
1967
* ``bzr merge`` now warns when it encounters a criss-cross merge.
1968
(Aaron Bentley)
1969
1970
* ``bzr send`` now doesn't require the target e-mail address to be
1971
specified on the command line if an interactive e-mail client is used.
1972
(Lukáš Lalinský)
1973
1974
* ``bzr tags`` now prints the revision number for each tag, instead of
1975
the revision id, unless --show-ids is passed. In addition, tags can be
1976
sorted chronologically instead of lexicographically with --sort=time.
1977
(Adeodato Simó, #120231)
1978
1979
* Windows standalone version of bzr is able to load system-wide plugins from
1980
"plugins" subdirectory in installation directory. In addition standalone
1981
installer write to the registry (HKLM\SOFTWARE\Bazaar) useful info
1982
about paths and bzr version. (Alexander Belchenko, #129298)

* A progress bar has been added for knitpack -> knitpack fetching.
1989
(Robert Collins, #157789, #159147)
1990
1991
* Branching from a branch via smart server now preserves the repository
1992
format. (Andrew Bennetts, #164626)
1993
1994
* ``commit`` is now able to invoke an external editor in a non-ascii
1995
directory. (Daniel Watkins, #84043)
1996
1997
* Catch connection errors for ftp.
1998
(Vincent Ladeuil, #164567)
1999
2000
* ``check`` no longer reports spurious unreferenced text versions.
2001
(Robert Collins, John A Meinel, #162931, #165071)
2002
2003
* Conflicts are now resolved recursively by ``revert``.
2004
(Aaron Bentley, #102739)
2005
2006
* Detect invalid transport reuse attempts by catching invalid URLs.
2007
(Vincent Ladeuil, #161819)
2008
2009
* Deleting a file without removing it shows a correct diff, not a traceback.
2010
(Aaron Bentley)
2011
2012
* Do no use timeout in HttpServer anymore.
2013
(Vincent Ladeuil, #158972).
2014
2015
* Don't catch the exceptions related to the http pipeline status before
2016
retrying an http request or some programming errors may be masked.
2017
(Vincent Ladeuil, #160012)
2018
2019
* Fix ``bzr rm`` to not delete modified and ignored files.
2020
(Lukáš Lalinský, #172598)
2021
2022
* Fix exception when revisionspec contains merge revisons but log
2023
formatter doesn't support merge revisions. (Kent Gibson, #148908)
2024
2025
* Fix exception when ScopeReplacer is assigned to before any members have
2026
been retrieved. (Aaron Bentley)
2027
2028
* Fix multiple connections during checkout --lightweight.
2029
(Vincent Ladeuil, #159150)
2030
2031
* Fix possible error in insert_data_stream when copying between
2032
pack repositories over bzr+ssh or bzr+http.
2033
KnitVersionedFile.get_data_stream now makes sure that requested
2034
compression parents are sent before any delta hunks that depend
2035
on them.
2036
(Martin Pool, #164637)
2037
2038
* Fix typo in limiting offsets coalescing for http, leading to
2039
whole files being downloaded instead of parts.
2040
(Vincent Ladeuil, #165061)
2041
2042
* FTP server errors don't error in the error handling code.
2043
(Robert Collins, #161240)
2044
2045
* Give a clearer message when a pull fails because the source needs
2046
to be reconciled.
2047
(Martin Pool, #164443)
2048
2049
* It is clearer when a plugin cannot be loaded because of its name, and a
2050
suggestion for an acceptable name is given. (Daniel Watkins, #103023)
2051
2052
* Leave port as None in transport objects if user doesn't
2053
specify a port in urls.
2054
(vincent Ladeuil, #150860)
2055
2056
* Make sure Repository.fetch(self) is properly a no-op for all
2057
Repository implementations. (John Arbash Meinel, #158333)
2058
2059
* Mark .bzr directories as "hidden" on Windows.
2060
(Alexander Belchenko, #71147)
2061
2062
* ``merge --uncommitted`` can now operate on a single file.
2063
(Aaron Bentley, Lukáš Lalinský, #136890)
2064
2065
* Obsolete packs are now cleaned up by pack and autopack operations.
2066
(Robert Collins, #153789)
2067
2068
* Operations pulling data from a smart server where the underlying
2069
repositories are not both annotated/both unannotated will now work.
2070
(Robert Collins, #165304).
2071
2072
* Reconcile now shows progress bars. (Robert Collins, #159351)
2073
2074
* ``RemoteBranch`` was not initializing ``self._revision_id_to_revno_map``
2075
properly. (John Arbash Meinel, #162486)
2076
2077
* Removing an already-removed file reports the file does not exist. (Daniel
2078
Watkins, #152811)
2079
2080
* Rename on Windows is able to change filename case.
2081
(Alexander Belchenko, #77740)
2082
2083
* Return error instead of a traceback for ``bzr log -r0``.
2084
(Kent Gibson, #133751)
2085
2086
* Return error instead of a traceback when bzr is unable to create
2087
symlink on some platforms (e.g. on Windows).
2088
(Alexander Belchenko, workaround for #81689)
2089
2090
* Revert doesn't crash when restoring a single file from a deleted
2091
directory. (Aaron Bentley)
2092
2093
* Stderr output via logging mechanism now goes through encoded wrapper
2094
and no more uses utf-8, but terminal encoding instead. So all unicode
2095
strings now should be readable in non-utf-8 terminal.
2096
(Alexander Belchenko, #54173)
2097
2098
* The error message when ``move --after`` should be used makes how to do so
2099
clearer. (Daniel Watkins, #85237)
2100
2101
* Unicode-safe output from ``bzr info``. The output will be encoded
2102
using the terminal encoding and unrepresentable characters will be
2103
replaced by '?'. (Lukáš Lalinský, #151844)
2104
2105
* Working trees are no longer created when pushing into a local no-trees
2106
repo. (Daniel Watkins, #50582)
2107
2108
* Upgrade util/configobj to version 4.4.0.
2109
(Vincent Ladeuil, #151208).
2110
2111
* Wrap medusa ftp test server as an FTPServer feature.
2112
(Vincent Ladeuil, #157752)
2113
2114
API BREAKS:
2115
2116
* ``osutils.backup_file`` is deprecated. Actually it's not used in bzrlib
2117
during very long time. (Alexander Belchenko)
2118
2119
* The return value of
2120
``VersionedFile.iter_lines_added_or_present_in_versions`` has been
2121
changed. Previously it was an iterator of lines, now it is an iterator of
2122
(line, version_id) tuples. This change has been made to aid reconcile and
2123
fetch operations. (Robert Collins)
2124
2125
* ``bzrlib.repository.get_versioned_file_checker`` is now private.
2126
(Robert Collins)
2127
2128
* The Repository format registry default has been removed; it was previously
2129
obsoleted by the bzrdir format default, which implies a default repository
2130
format.
2131
(Martin Pool)
2132
2133
INTERNALS:
2134
2135
* Added ``ContainerSerialiser`` and ``ContainerPushParser`` to
2136
``bzrlib.pack``. These classes provide more convenient APIs for generating
2137
and parsing containers from streams rather than from files. (Andrew
2138
Bennetts)
2139
2140
* New module ``lru_cache`` providing a cache for use by tasks that need
2141
semi-random access to large amounts of data. (John A Meinel)
2142
2143
* InventoryEntry.diff is now deprecated. Please use diff.DiffTree instead.

NOTES WHEN UPGRADING:
2160
2161
CHANGES:
2162
2163
* ``bzr`` now returns exit code 4 if an internal error occurred, and
2164
3 if a normal error occurred. (Martin Pool)
2165
2166
* ``pull``, ``merge`` and ``push`` will no longer silently correct some
2167
repository index errors that occured as a result of the Weave disk format.
2168
Instead the ``reconcile`` command needs to be run to correct those
2169
problems if they exist (and it has been able to fix most such problems
2170
since bzr 0.8). Some new problems have been identified during this release
2171
and you should run ``bzr check`` once on every repository to see if you
2172
need to reconcile. If you cannot ``pull`` or ``merge`` from a remote
2173
repository due to mismatched parent errors - a symptom of index errors -
2174
you should simply take a full copy of that remote repository to a clean
2175
directory outside any local repositories, then run reconcile on it, and
2176
finally pull from it locally. (And naturally email the repositories owner
2177
to ask them to upgrade and run reconcile).
2178
(Robert Collins)
2179
2180
FEATURES:
2181
2182
* New ``knitpack-experimental`` repository format. This is interoperable with
2183
the ``dirstate-tags`` format but uses a smarter storage design that greatly
2184
speeds up many operations, both local and remote. This new format can be
2185
used as an option to the ``init``, ``init-repository`` and ``upgrade``
2186
commands. See http://doc.bazaar-vcs.org/0.92/developers/knitpack.html
2187
for further details. (Robert Collins)
2188
2189
* For users of bzr-svn (and those testing the prototype subtree support) that
2190
wish to try packs, a new ``knitpack-subtree-experimental`` format has also
2191
been added. This is interoperable with the ``dirstate-subtrees`` format.
2192
(Robert Collins)
2193
2194
* New ``reconfigure`` command. (Aaron Bentley)
2195
2196
* New ``revert --forget-merges`` command, which removes the record of a pending
2197
merge without affecting the working tree contents. (Martin Pool)
2198
2199
* New ``bzr_remote_path`` configuration variable allows finer control of
2200
remote bzr locations than BZR_REMOTE_PATH environment variable.
2201
(Aaron Bentley)
2202
2203
* New ``launchpad-login`` command to tell Bazaar your Launchpad
2204
user ID. This can then be used by other functions of the
2205
Launchpad plugin. (James Henstridge)
2206
2207
PERFORMANCE:
2208
2209
* Commit in quiet mode is now slightly faster as the information to
2210
output is no longer calculated. (Ian Clatworthy)
2211
2212
* Commit no longer checks for new text keys during insertion when the
2213
revision id was deterministically unique. (Robert Collins)
2214
2215
* Committing a change which is not a merge and does not change the number of
2216
files in the tree is faster by utilising the data about whether files are
2217
changed to determine if the tree is unchanged rather than recalculating
2218
it at the end of the commit process. (Robert Collins)
2219
2220
* Inventory serialisation no longer double-sha's the content.
2221
(Robert Collins)
2222
2223
* Knit text reconstruction now avoids making copies of the lines list for
2224
interim texts when building a single text. The new ``apply_delta`` method
2225
on ``KnitContent`` aids this by allowing modification of the revision id
2226
such objects represent. (Robert Collins)
2227
2228
* Pack indices are now partially parsed for specific key lookup using a
2229
bisection approach. (Robert Collins)
2230
2231
* Partial commits are now approximately 40% faster by walking over the
2232
unselected current tree more efficiently. (Robert Collins)
2233
2234
* XML inventory serialisation takes 20% less time while being stricter about
2235
the contents. (Robert Collins)
2236
2237
* Graph ``heads()`` queries have been fixed to no longer access all history
2238
unnecessarily. (Robert Collins)
2239
2240
IMPROVEMENTS:
2241
2242
* ``bzr+https://`` smart server across https now supported.
2243
(John Ferlito, Martin Pool, #128456)
2244
2245
* Mutt is now a supported mail client; set ``mail_client=mutt`` in your
2246
bazaar.conf and ``send`` will use mutt. (Keir Mierle)
2247
2248
* New option ``-c``/``--change`` for ``merge`` command for cherrypicking
2249
changes from one revision. (Alexander Belchenko, #141368)
2250
2251
* Show encodings, locale and list of plugins in the traceback message.
2252
(Martin Pool, #63894)
2253
2254
* Experimental directory formats can now be marked with
2255
``experimental = True`` during registration. (Ian Clatworthy)
2256
2257
DOCUMENTATION:
2258
2259
* New *Bazaar in Five Minutes* guide. (Matthew Revell)
2260
2261
* The hooks reference documentation is now converted to html as expected.
2262
(Ian Clatworthy)
2263
2264
BUG FIXES:
2265
2266
* Connection error reporting for the smart server has been fixed to
2267
display a user friendly message instead of a traceback.
2268
(Ian Clatworthy, #115601)
2269
2270
* Make sure to use ``O_BINARY`` when opening files to check their
2271
sha1sum. (Alexander Belchenko, John Arbash Meinel, #153493)
2272
2273
* Fix a problem with Win32 handling of the executable bit.
2274
(John Arbash Meinel, #149113)
2275
2276
* ``bzr+ssh://`` and ``sftp://`` URLs that do not specify ports explicitly
2277
no longer assume that means port 22. This allows people using OpenSSH to
2278
override the default port in their ``~/.ssh/config`` if they wish. This
2279
fixes a bug introduced in bzr 0.91. (Andrew Bennetts, #146715)
2280
2281
* Commands reporting exceptions can now be profiled and still have their
2282
data correctly dumped to a file. For example, a ``bzr commit`` with
2283
no changes still reports the operation as pointless but doing so no
2284
longer throws away the profiling data if this command is run with
2285
``--lsprof-file callgrind.out.ci`` say. (Ian Clatworthy)
2286
2287
* Fallback to ftp when paramiko is not installed and sftp can't be used for
2288
``tests/commands`` so that the test suite is still usable without
2289
paramiko.
2290
(Vincent Ladeuil, #59150)
2291
2292
* Fix commit ordering in corner case. (Aaron Bentley, #94975)
2293
2294
* Fix long standing bug in partial commit when there are renames
2295
left in tree. (Robert Collins, #140419)
2296
2297
* Fix selftest semi-random noise during http related tests.
2298
(Vincent Ladeuil, #140614)
2299
2300
* Fix typo in ftp.py making the reconnection fail on temporary errors.
2301
(Vincent Ladeuil, #154259)
2302
2303
* Fix failing test by comparing real paths to cover the case where the TMPDIR
2304
contains a symbolic link.
2305
(Vincent Ladeuil, #141382).
2306
2307
* Fix log against smart server branches that don't support tags.
2308
(James Westby, #140615)
2309
2310
* Fix pycurl http implementation by defining error codes from
2311
pycurl instead of relying on an old curl definition.
2312
(Vincent Ladeuil, #147530)
2313
2314
* Fix 'unprintable error' message when displaying BzrCheckError and
2315
some other exceptions on Python 2.5.
2316
(Martin Pool, #144633)
2317
2318
* Fix ``Inventory.copy()`` and add test for it. (Jelmer Vernooij)
2319
2320
* Handles default value for ListOption in cmd_commit.
2321
(Vincent Ladeuil, #140432)
2322
2323
* HttpServer and FtpServer need to be closed properly or a listening socket
2324
will remain opened.
2325
(Vincent Ladeuil, #140055)
2326
2327
* Monitor the .bzr directory created in the top level test
2328
directory to detect leaking tests.
2329
(Vincent Ladeuil, #147986)
2330
2331
* The basename, not the full path, is now used when checking whether
2332
the profiling dump file begins with ``callgrind.out`` or not. This
2333
fixes a bug reported by Aaron Bentley on IRC. (Ian Clatworthy)
2334
2335
* Trivial fix for invoking command ``reconfigure`` without arguments.
2336
(Rob Weir, #141629)
2337
2338
* ``WorkingTree.rename_one`` will now raise an error if normalisation of the
2339
new path causes bzr to be unable to access the file. (Robert Collins)
2340
2341
* Correctly detect a NoSuchFile when using a filezilla server. (Gary van der
2342
Merwe)
2343
2344
API BREAKS:
2345
2346
* ``bzrlib.index.GraphIndex`` now requires a size parameter to the
2347
constructor, for enabling bisection searches. (Robert Collins)
2348
2349
* ``CommitBuilder.record_entry_contents`` now requires the root entry of a
2350
tree be supplied to it, previously failing to do so would trigger a
2351
deprecation warning. (Robert Collins)
2352
2353
* ``KnitVersionedFile.add*`` will no longer cache added records even when
2354
enable_cache() has been called - the caching feature is now exclusively for
2355
reading existing data. (Robert Collins)
2356
2357
* ``ReadOnlyLockError`` is deprecated; ``LockFailed`` is usually more
2358
appropriate. (Martin Pool)
2359
2360
* Removed ``bzrlib.transport.TransportLogger`` - please see the new
2361
``trace+`` transport instead. (Robert Collins)
2362
2363
* Removed previously deprecated varargs interface to ``TestCase.run_bzr`` and
2364
deprecated methods ``TestCase.capture`` and ``TestCase.run_bzr_captured``.
2365
(Martin Pool)
2366
2367
* Removed previous deprecated ``basis_knit`` parameter to the
2368
``KnitVersionedFile`` constructor. (Robert Collins)
2369
2370
* Special purpose method ``TestCase.run_bzr_decode`` is moved to the test_non_ascii
2371
class that needs it.
2372
(Martin Pool)
2373
2374
* The class ``bzrlib.repofmt.knitrepo.KnitRepository3`` has been folded into
2375
``KnitRepository`` by parameters to the constructor. (Robert Collins)
2376
2377
* The ``VersionedFile`` interface now allows content checks to be bypassed
2378
by supplying check_content=False. This saves nearly 30% of the minimum
2379
cost to store a version of a file. (Robert Collins)
2380
2381
* Tree's with bad state such as files with no length or sha will no longer
2382
be silently accepted by the repository XML serialiser. To serialise
2383
inventories without such data, pass working=True to write_inventory.
2384
(Robert Collins)
2385
2386
* ``VersionedFile.fix_parents`` has been removed as a harmful API.
2387
``VersionedFile.join`` will no longer accept different parents on either
2388
side of a join - it will either ignore them, or error, depending on the
2389
implementation. See notes when upgrading for more information.
2390
(Robert Collins)
2391
2392
INTERNALS:
2393
2394
* ``bzrlib.transport.Transport.put_file`` now returns the number of bytes
2395
put by the method call, to allow avoiding stat-after-write or
2396
housekeeping in callers. (Robert Collins)
2397
2398
* ``bzrlib.xml_serializer.Serializer`` is now responsible for checking that
2399
mandatory attributes are present on serialisation and deserialisation.
2400
This fixes some holes in API usage and allows better separation between
2401
physical storage and object serialisation. (Robert Collins)
2402
2403
* New class ``bzrlib.errors.InternalBzrError`` which is just a convenient
2404
shorthand for deriving from BzrError and setting internal_error = True.
2405
(Robert Collins)
2406
2407
* New method ``bzrlib.mutabletree.update_to_one_parent_via_delta`` for
2408
moving the state of a parent tree to a new version via a delta rather than
2409
a complete replacement tree. (Robert Collins)
2410
2411
* New method ``bzrlib.osutils.minimum_path_selection`` useful for removing
2412
duplication from user input, when a user mentions both a path and an item
2413
contained within that path. (Robert Collins)
2414
2415
* New method ``bzrlib.repository.Repository.is_write_locked`` useful for
2416
determining if a repository is write locked. (Robert Collins)
2417
2418
* New method on ``bzrlib.tree.Tree`` ``path_content_summary`` provides a
2419
tuple containing the key information about a path for commit processing
2420
to complete. (Robert Collins)
2421
2422
* New method on xml serialisers, write_inventory_to_lines, which matches the
2423
API used by knits for adding content. (Robert Collins)
2424
2425
* New module ``bzrlib.bisect_multi`` with generic multiple-bisection-at-once
2426
logic, currently only available for byte-based lookup
2427
(``bisect_multi_bytes``). (Robert Collins)
2428
2429
* New helper ``bzrlib.tuned_gzip.bytes_to_gzip`` which takes a byte string
2430
and returns a gzipped version of the same. This is used to avoid a bunch
2431
of api friction during adding of knit hunks. (Robert Collins)
2432
2433
* New parameter on ``bzrlib.transport.Transport.readv``
2434
``adjust_for_latency`` which changes readv from returning strictly the
2435
requested data to inserted return larger ranges and in forward read order
2436
to reduce the effect of network latency. (Robert Collins)
2437
2438
* New parameter yield_parents on ``Inventory.iter_entries_by_dir`` which
2439
causes the parents of a selected id to be returned recursively, so all the
2440
paths from the root down to each element of selected_file_ids are
2441
returned. (Robert Collins)
2442
2443
* Knit joining has been enhanced to support plain to annotated conversion
2444
and annotated to plain conversion. (Ian Clatworthy)
2445
2446
* The CommitBuilder method ``record_entry_contents`` now returns summary
2447
information about the effect of the commit on the repository. This tuple
2448
contains an inventory delta item if the entry changed from the basis, and a
2449
boolean indicating whether a new file graph node was recorded.
2450
(Robert Collins)
2451
2452
* The python path used in the Makefile can now be overridden.
2453
(Andrew Bennetts, Ian Clatworthy)
2454
2455
TESTING:
2456
2457
* New transport implementation ``trace+`` which is useful for testing,
2458
logging activity taken to its _activity attribute. (Robert Collins)
2459
2460
* When running bzr commands within the test suite, internal exceptions are
2461
not caught and reported in the usual way, but rather allowed to propagate
2462
up and be visible to the test suite. A new API ``run_bzr_catch_user_errors``
2463
makes this behavior available to other users.
2464
(Martin Pool)
2465
2466
* New method ``TestCase.call_catch_warnings`` for testing methods that
2467
raises a Python warning. (Martin Pool)
2468
2469
2470
bzr 0.91 2007-09-26
2471
-------------------
2472
2473
BUG FIXES:
2474
2475
* Print a warning instead of aborting the ``python setup.py install``
2476
process if building of a C extension is not possible.
2477
(Lukáš Lalinský, Alexander Belchenko)
2478
2479
* Fix commit ordering in corner case (Aaron Bentley, #94975)
2480
2481
* Fix ''bzr info bzr://host/'' and other operations on ''bzr://' URLs with
2482
an implicit port. We were incorrectly raising PathNotChild due to
2483
inconsistent treatment of the ''_port'' attribute on the Transport object.
2484
(Andrew Bennetts, #133965)
2485
2486
* Make RemoteRepository.sprout cope gracefully with servers that don't
2487
support the ``Repository.tarball`` request.
2488
(Andrew Bennetts)
2489
2490
2491
bzr 0.91rc2 2007-09-11
2492
----------------------
2493
2494
* Replaced incorrect tarball for previous release; a debug statement was left
2495
in bzrlib/remote.py.
2496
2497
2498
bzr 0.91rc1 2007-09-11
2499
----------------------
2500
2501
CHANGES:
2502
2503
* The default branch and repository format has changed to
2504
``dirstate-tags``, so tag commands are active by default.
2505
This format is compatible with Bazaar 0.15 and later.
2506
This incidentally fixes bug #126141.
2507
(Martin Pool)
2508
2509
* ``--quiet`` or ``-q`` is no longer a global option. If present, it
2510
must now appear after the command name. Scripts doing things like
2511
``bzr -q missing`` need to be rewritten as ``bzr missing -q``.
2512
(Ian Clatworthy)
2513
2514
FEATURES:
2515
2516
* New option ``--author`` in ``bzr commit`` to specify the author of the
2517
change, if it's different from the committer. ``bzr log`` and
2518
``bzr annotate`` display the author instead of the committer.
2519
(Lukáš Lalinský)
2520
2521
* In addition to global options and command specific options, a set of
2522
standard options are now supported. Standard options are legal for
2523
all commands. The initial set of standard options are:
2524
2525
* ``--help`` or ``-h`` - display help message
2526
* ``--verbose`` or ``-v`` - display additional information
2527
* ``--quiet`` or ``-q`` - only output warnings and errors.
2528
2529
Unlike global options, standard options can be used in aliases and
2530
may have command-specific help. (Ian Clatworthy)
2531
2532
* Verbosity level processing has now been unified. If ``--verbose``
2533
or ``-v`` is specified on the command line multiple times, the
2534
verbosity level is made positive the first time then increased.
2535
If ``--quiet`` or ``-q`` is specified on the command line
2536
multiple times, the verbosity level is made negative the first
2537
time then decreased. To get the default verbosity level of zero,
2538
either specify none of the above , ``--no-verbose`` or ``--no-quiet``.
2539
Note that most commands currently ignore the magnitude of the
2540
verbosity level but do respect *quiet vs normal vs verbose* when
2541
generating output. (Ian Clatworthy)
2542
2543
* ``Branch.hooks`` now supports ``pre_commit`` hook. The hook's signature
2544
is documented in BranchHooks constructor. (Nam T. Nguyen, #102747)
2545
2546
* New ``Repository.stream_knit_data_for_revisions`` request added to the
2547
network protocol for greatly reduced roundtrips when retrieving a set of
2548
revisions. (Andrew Bennetts)
2549
2550
BUG FIXES:
2551
2552
* ``bzr plugins`` now lists the version number for each plugin in square
2553
brackets after the path. (Robert Collins, #125421)
2554
2555
* Pushing, pulling and branching branches with subtree references was not
2556
copying the subtree weave, preventing the file graph from being accessed
2557
and causing errors in commits in clones. (Robert Collins)
2558
2559
* Suppress warning "integer argument expected, got float" from Paramiko,
2560
which sometimes caused false test failures. (Martin Pool)
2561
2562
* Fix bug in bundle 4 that could cause attempts to write data to wrong
2563
versionedfile. (Aaron Bentley)
2564
2565
* Diffs generated using "diff -p" no longer break the patch parser.
2566
(Aaron Bentley)
2567
2568
* get_transport treats an empty possible_transports list the same as a non-
2569
empty one. (Aaron Bentley)
2570
2571
* patch verification for merge directives is reactivated, and works with
2572
CRLF and CR files. (Aaron Bentley)
2573
2574
* Accept ..\ as a path in revision specifiers. This fixes for example
2575
"-r branch:..\other-branch" on Windows. (Lukáš Lalinský)
2576
2577
* ``BZR_PLUGIN_PATH`` may now contain trailing slashes.
2578
(Blake Winton, #129299)
2579
2580
* man page no longer lists hidden options (#131667, Aaron Bentley)
2581
2582
* ``uncommit --help`` now explains the -r option adequately. (Daniel
2583
Watkins, #106726)
2584
2585
* Error messages are now better formatted with parameters (such as
2586
filenames) quoted when necessary. This avoids confusion when directory
2587
names ending in a '.' at the end of messages were confused with a
2588
full stop that may or not have been there. (Daniel Watkins, #129791)
2589
2590
* Fix ``status FILE -r X..Y``. (Lukáš Lalinský)
2591
2592
* If a particular command is an alias, ``help`` will show the alias
2593
instead of claiming there is no help for said alias. (Daniel Watkins,
2594
#133548)
2595
2596
* TreeTransform-based operations, like pull, merge, revert, and branch,
2597
now roll back if they encounter an error. (Aaron Bentley, #67699)
2598
2599
* ``bzr commit`` now exits cleanly if a character unsupported by the
2600
current encoding is used in the commit message. (Daniel Watkins,
2601
#116143)
2602
2603
* bzr send uses default values for ranges when only half of an elipsis
2604
is specified ("-r..5" or "-r5.."). (#61685, Aaron Bentley)
2605
2606
* Avoid trouble when Windows ssh calls itself 'plink' but no plink
2607
binary is present. (Martin Albisetti, #107155)
2608
2609
* ``bzr remove`` should remove clean subtrees. Now it will remove (without
2610
needing ``--force``) subtrees that contain no files with text changes or
2611
modified files. With ``--force`` it removes the subtree regardless of
2612
text changes or unknown files. Directories with renames in or out (but
2613
not changed otherwise) will now be removed without needing ``--force``.
2614
Unknown ignored files will be deleted without needing ``--force``.
2615
(Marius Kruger, #111665)
2616
2617
* When two plugins conflict, the source of both the losing and now the
2618
winning definition is shown. (Konstantin Mikhaylov, #5454)
2619
2620
* When committing to a branch, the location being committed to is
2621
displayed. (Daniel Watkins, #52479)
2622
2623
* ``bzr --version`` takes care about encoding of stdout, especially
2624
when output is redirected. (Alexander Belchenko, #131100)
2625
2626
* Prompt for an ftp password if none is provided.
2627
(Vincent Ladeuil, #137044)
2628
2629
* Reuse bound branch associated transport to avoid multiple
2630
connections.
2631
(Vincent Ladeuil, #128076, #131396)
2632
2633
* Overwrite conflicting tags by ``push`` and ``pull`` if the
2634
``--overwrite`` option is specified. (Lukáš Lalinský, #93947)
2635
2636
* In checkouts, tags are copied into the master branch when created,
2637
changed or deleted, and are copied into the checkout when it is
2638
updated. (Martin Pool, #93856, #93860)
2639
2640
* Print a warning instead of aborting the ``python setup.py install``
2641
process if building of a C extension is not possible.
2642
(Lukáš Lalinský, Alexander Belchenko)
2643
2644
IMPROVEMENTS:
2645
2646
* Add the option "--show-diff" to the commit command in order to display
2647
the diff during the commit log creation. (Goffredo Baroncelli)
2648
2649
* ``pull`` and ``merge`` are much faster at installing bundle format 4.
2650
(Aaron Bentley)
2651
2652
* ``pull -v`` no longer includes deltas, making it much faster.
2653
(Aaron Bentley)
2654
2655
* ``send`` now sends the directive as an attachment by default.
2656
(Aaron Bentley, Lukáš Lalinský, Alexander Belchenko)
2657
2658
* Documentation updates (Martin Albisetti)
2659
2660
* Help on debug flags is now included in ``help global-options``.
2661
(Daniel Watkins, #124853)
2662
2663
* Parameters passed on the command line are checked to ensure they are
2664
supported by the encoding in use. (Daniel Watkins)
2665
2666
* The compression used within the bzr repository has changed from zlib
2667
level 9 to the zlib default level. This improves commit performance with
2668
only a small increase in space used (and in some cases a reduction in
2669
space). (Robert Collins)
2670
2671
* Initial commit no longer SHAs files twice and now reuses the path
2672
rather than looking it up again, making it faster.
2673
(Ian Clatworthy)
2674
2675
* New option ``-c``/``--change`` for ``diff`` and ``status`` to show
2676
changes in one revision. (Lukáš Lalinský)
2677
2678
* If versioned files match a given ignore pattern, a warning is now
2679
given. (Daniel Watkins, #48623)
2680
2681
* ``bzr status`` now has -S as a short name for --short and -V as a
2682
short name for --versioned. These have been added to assist users
2683
migrating from Subversion: ``bzr status -SV`` is now like
2684
``svn status -q``. (Daniel Watkins, #115990)
2685
2686
* Added C implementation of ``PatienceSequenceMatcher``, which is about
2687
10x faster than the Python version. This speeds up commands that
2688
need file diffing, such as ``bzr commit`` or ``bzr diff``.
2689
(Lukáš Lalinský)
2690
2691
* HACKING has been extended with a large section on core developer tasks.
2692
(Ian Clatworthy)
2693
2694
* Add ``branches`` and ``standalone-trees`` as online help topics and
2695
include them as Concepts within the User Reference.
2696
(Paul Moore, Ian Clatworthy)
2697
2698
* ``check`` can detect versionedfile parent references that are
2699
inconsistent with revision and inventory info, and ``reconcile`` can fix
2700
them. These faulty references were generated by 0.8-era releases,
2701
so repositories which were manipulated by old bzrs should be
2702
checked, and possibly reconciled ASAP. (Aaron Bentley, Andrew Bennetts)
2703
2704
API BREAKS:
2705
2706
* ``Branch.append_revision`` is removed altogether; please use
2707
``Branch.set_last_revision_info`` instead. (Martin Pool)
2708
2709
* CommitBuilder now advertises itself as requiring the root entry to be
2710
supplied. This only affects foreign repository implementations which reuse
2711
CommitBuilder directly and have changed record_entry_contents to require
2712
that the root not be supplied. This should be precisely zero plugins
2713
affected. (Robert Collins)
2714
2715
* The ``add_lines`` methods on ``VersionedFile`` implementations has changed
2716
its return value to include the sha1 and length of the inserted text. This
2717
allows the avoidance of double-sha1 calculations during commit.
2718
(Robert Collins)
2719
2720
* ``Transport.should_cache`` has been removed. It was not called in the
2721
previous release. (Martin Pool)
2722
2723
TESTING:
2724
2725
* Tests may now raise TestNotApplicable to indicate they shouldn't be
2726
run in a particular scenario. (Martin Pool)
2727
2728
* New function multiply_tests_from_modules to give a simpler interface
2729
to test parameterization. (Martin Pool, Robert Collins)
2730
2731
* ``Transport.should_cache`` has been removed. It was not called in the
2732
previous release. (Martin Pool)
2733
2734
* NULL_REVISION is returned to indicate the null revision, not None.
2735
(Aaron Bentley)
2736
2737
* Use UTF-8 encoded StringIO for log tests to avoid failures on
2738
non-ASCII committer names. (Lukáš Lalinský)
2739
2740
INTERNALS:
2741
2742
* ``bzrlib.plugin.all_plugins`` has been deprecated in favour of
2743
``bzrlib.plugin.plugins()`` which returns PlugIn objects that provide
2744
useful functionality for determining the path of a plugin, its tests, and
2745
its version information. (Robert Collins)
2746
2747
* Add the option user_encoding to the function 'show_diff_trees()'
2748
in order to move the user encoding at the UI level. (Goffredo Baroncelli)
2749
2750
* Add the function make_commit_message_template_encoded() and the function
2751
edit_commit_message_encoded() which handle encoded strings.
2752
This is done in order to mix the commit messages (which is a unicode
2753
string), and the diff which is a raw string. (Goffredo Baroncelli)
2754
2755
* CommitBuilder now defaults to using add_lines_with_ghosts, reducing
2756
overhead on non-weave repositories which don't require all parents to be
2757
present. (Robert Collins)
2758
2759
* Deprecated method ``find_previous_heads`` on
2760
``bzrlib.inventory.InventoryEntry``. This has been superseded by the use
2761
of ``parent_candidates`` and a separate heads check via the repository
2762
API. (Robert Collins)
2763
2764
* New trace function ``mutter_callsite`` will print out a subset of the
2765
stack to the log, which can be useful for gathering debug details.
2766
(Robert Collins)
2767
2768
* ``bzrlib.pack.ContainerWriter`` now tracks how many records have been
2769
added via a public attribute records_written. (Robert Collins)
2770
2771
* New method ``bzrlib.transport.Transport.get_recommended_page_size``.
2772
This provides a hint to users of transports as to the reasonable
2773
minimum data to read. In principle this can take latency and
2774
bandwidth into account on a per-connection basis, but for now it
2775
just has hard coded values based on the url. (e.g. http:// has a large
2776
page size, file:// has a small one.) (Robert Collins)
2777
2778
* New method on ``bzrlib.transport.Transport`` ``open_write_stream`` allows
2779
incremental addition of data to a file without requiring that all the
2780
data be buffered in memory. (Robert Collins)
2781
2782
* New methods on ``bzrlib.knit.KnitVersionedFile``:
2783
``get_data_stream(versions)``, ``insert_data_stream(stream)`` and
2784
``get_format_signature()``. These provide some infrastructure for
2785
efficiently streaming the knit data for a set of versions over the smart
2786
protocol.
2787
2788
* Knits with no annotation cache still produce correct annotations.
2789
(Aaron Bentley)
2790
2791
* Three new methods have been added to ``bzrlib.trace``:
2792
``set_verbosity_level``, ``get_verbosity_level`` and ``is_verbose``.
2793
``set_verbosity_level`` expects a numeric value: negative for quiet,
2794
zero for normal, positive for verbose. The size of the number can be
2795
used to determine just how quiet or verbose the application should be.
2796
The existing ``be_quiet`` and ``is_quiet`` routines have been
2797
integrated into this new scheme. (Ian Clatworthy)
2798
2799
* Options can now be delcared with a ``custom_callback`` parameter. If
2800
set, this routine is called after the option is processed. This feature
2801
is now used by the standard options ``verbose`` and ``quiet`` so that
2802
setting one implicitly resets the other. (Ian Clatworthy)
2803
2804
* Rather than declaring a new option from scratch in order to provide
2805
custom help, a centrally registered option can be decorated using the
2806
new ``bzrlib.Option.custom_help`` routine. In particular, this routine
2807
is useful when declaring better help for the ``verbose`` and ``quiet``
2808
standard options as the base definition of these is now more complex
2809
than before thanks to their use of a custom callback. (Ian Clatworthy)
2810
2811
* Tree._iter_changes(specific_file=[]) now iterates through no files,
2812
instead of iterating through all files. None is used to iterate through
2813
all files. (Aaron Bentley)
2814
2815
* WorkingTree.revert() now accepts None to revert all files. The use of
2816
[] to revert all files is deprecated. (Aaron Bentley)

-------------------
2821
2822
IMPROVEMENTS:
2823
2824
* Documentation is now organized into multiple directories with a level
2825
added for different languages or locales. Added the Mini Tutorial
2826
and Quick Start Summary (en) documents from the Wiki, improving the
2827
content and readability of the former. Formatted NEWS as Release Notes
2828
complete with a Table of Conents, one heading per release. Moved the
2829
Developer Guide into the main document catalog and provided a link
2830
from the developer document catalog back to the main one.

(Ian Clatworthy, Sabin Iacob, Alexander Belchenko)
2832
2833
2834
API CHANGES:
2835
2836
* The static convenience method ``BzrDir.create_repository``
2837
is deprecated. Callers should instead create a ``BzrDir`` instance
2838
and call ``create_repository`` on that. (Martin Pool)
2839
2840
2841
bzr 0.90rc1 2007-08-14
2842
----------------------
2843
2844
BUGFIXES:
2845
2846
* ``bzr init`` should connect to the remote location one time only. We
2847
have been connecting several times because we forget to pass around the
2848
Transport object. This modifies ``BzrDir.create_branch_convenience``,
2849
so that we can give it the Transport we already have.
2850
(John Arbash Meinel, Vincent Ladeuil, #111702)
2851
2852
* Get rid of sftp connection cache (get rid of the FTP one too).
2853
(Vincent Ladeuil, #43731)
2854
2855
* bzr branch {local|remote} remote don't try to create a working tree
2856
anymore.
2857
(Vincent Ladeuil, #112173)
2858
2859
* All identified multiple connections for a single bzr command have been
2860
fixed. See bzrlib/tests/commands directory.
2861
(Vincent Ladeuil)
2862
2863
* ``bzr rm`` now does not insist on ``--force`` to delete files that
2864
have been renamed but not otherwise modified. (Marius Kruger,
2865
#111664)
2866
2867
* ``bzr selftest --bench`` no longer emits deprecation warnings
2868
(Lukáš Lalinský)
2869
2870
* ``bzr status`` now honours FILE parameters for conflict lists
2871
(Aaron Bentley, #127606)
2872
2873
* ``bzr checkout`` now honours -r when reconstituting a working tree.
2874
It also honours -r 0. (Aaron Bentley, #127708)
2875
2876
* ``bzr add *`` no more fails on Windows if working tree contains
2877
non-ascii file names. (Kuno Meyer, #127361)
2878
2879
* allow ``easy_install bzr`` runs without fatal errors.
2880
(Alexander Belchenko, #125521)
2881
2882
* Graph._filter_candidate_lca does not raise KeyError if a candidate
2883
is eliminated just before it would normally be examined. (Aaron Bentley)
2884
2885
* SMTP connection failures produce a nice message, not a traceback.
2886
(Aaron Bentley)
2887
2888
IMPROVEMENTS:
2889
2890
* Don't show "dots" progress indicators when run non-interactively, such
2891
as from cron. (Martin Pool)
2892
2893
* ``info`` now formats locations more nicely and lists "submit" and
2894
"public" branches (Aaron Bentley)
2895
2896
* New ``pack`` command that will trigger database compression within
2897
the repository (Robert Collins)
2898
2899
* Implement ``_KnitIndex._load_data`` in a pyrex extension. The pyrex
2900
version is approximately 2-3x faster at parsing a ``.kndx`` file.
2901
Which yields a measurable improvement for commands which have to
2902
read from the repository, such as a 1s => 0.75s improvement in
2903
``bzr diff`` when there are changes to be shown. (John Arbash Meinel)
2904
2905
* Merge is now faster. Depending on the scenario, it can be more than 2x
2906
faster. (Aaron Bentley)
2907
2908
* Give a clearer warning, and allow ``python setup.py install`` to
2909
succeed even if pyrex is not available.
2910
(John Arbash Meinel)
2911
2912
* ``DirState._read_dirblocks`` now has an optional Pyrex
2913
implementation. This improves the speed of any command that has to
2914
read the entire DirState. (``diff``, ``status``, etc, improve by
2915
about 10%).
2916
``bisect_dirblocks`` has also been improved, which helps all
2917
``_get_entry`` type calls (whenever we are searching for a
2918
particular entry in the in-memory DirState).
2919
(John Arbash Meinel)
2920
2921
* ``bzr pull`` and ``bzr push`` no longer do a complete walk of the
2922
branch revision history for ui display unless -v is supplied.
2923
(Robert Collins)
2924
2925
* ``bzr log -rA..B`` output shifted to the left margin if the log only
2926
contains merge revisions. (Kent Gibson)
2927
2928
* The ``plugins`` command is now public with improved help.
2929
(Ian Clatworthy)
2930
2931
* New bundle and merge directive formats are faster to generate, and
2932
2933
* Annotate merge now works when there are local changes. (Aaron Bentley)
2934
2935
* Commit now only shows the progress in terms of directories instead of
2936
entries. (Ian Clatworthy)
2937
2938
* Fix ``KnitRepository.get_revision_graph`` to not request the graph 2
2939
times. This makes ``get_revision_graph`` 2x faster. (John Arbash
2940
Meinel)
2941
2942
* Fix ``VersionedFile.get_graph()`` to avoid using
2943
``set.difference_update(other)``, which has bad scaling when
2944
``other`` is large. This improves ``VF.get_graph([version_id])`` for
2945
a 12.5k graph from 2.9s down to 200ms. (John Arbash Meinel)
2946
2947
* The ``--lsprof-file`` option now generates output for KCacheGrind if
2948
the file starts with ``callgrind.out``. This matches the default file
2949
filtering done by KCacheGrind's Open Dialog. (Ian Clatworthy)
2950
2951
* Fix ``bzr update`` to avoid an unnecessary
2952
``branch.get_master_branch`` call, which avoids 1 extra connection
2953
to the remote server. (Partial fix for #128076, John Arbash Meinel)
2954
2955
* Log errors from the smart server in the trace file, to make debugging
2956
test failures (and live failures!) easier. (Andrew Bennetts)
2957
2958
* The HTML version of the man page has been superceded by a more
2959
comprehensive manual called the Bazaar User Reference. This manual
2960
is completed generated from the online help topics. As part of this
2961
change, limited reStructuredText is now explicitly supported in help
2962
topics and command help with 'unnatural' markup being removed prior
2963
to display by the online help or inclusion in the man page.
2964
(Ian Clatworthy)
2965
2966
* HTML documentation now use files extension ``*.html``
2967
(Alexander Belchenko)
2968
2969
* The cache of ignore definitions is now cleared in WorkingTree.unlock()
2970
so that changes to .bzrignore aren't missed. (#129694, Daniel Watkins)
2971
2972
* ``bzr selftest --strict`` fails if there are any missing features or
2973
expected test failures. (Daniel Watkins, #111914)
2974
2975
* Link to registration survey added to README. (Ian Clatworthy)
2976
2977
* Windows standalone installer show link to registration survey
2978
when installation finished. (Alexander Belchenko)
2979
2980
LIBRARY API BREAKS:
2981
2982
* Deprecated dictionary ``bzrlib.option.SHORT_OPTIONS`` removed.
2983
Options are now required to provide a help string and it must
2984
comply with the style guide by being one or more sentences with an
2985
initial capital and final period. (Martin Pool)
2986
2987
* KnitIndex.get_parents now returns tuples. (Robert Collins)
2988
2989
* Ancient unused ``Repository.text_store`` attribute has been removed.
2990
(Robert Collins)
2991
2992
* The ``bzrlib.pack`` interface has changed to use tuples of bytestrings
2993
rather than just bytestrings, making it easier to represent multiple
2994
element names. As this interface was not used by any internal facilities
2995
since it was introduced in 0.18 no API compatibility is being preserved.
2996
The serialised form of these packs is identical with 0.18 when a single
2997
element tuple is in use. (Robert Collins)
2998
2999
INTERNALS:
3000
3001
* merge now uses ``iter_changes`` to calculate changes, which makes room for
3002
future performance increases. It is also more consistent with other
3003
operations that perform comparisons, and reduces reliance on
3004
Tree.inventory. (Aaron Bentley)
3005
3006
* Refactoring of transport classes connected to a remote server.
3007
ConnectedTransport is a new class that serves as a basis for all
3008
transports needing to connect to a remote server. transport.split_url
3009
have been deprecated, use the static method on the object instead. URL
3010
tests have been refactored too.
3011
(Vincent Ladeuil)
3012
3013
* Better connection sharing for ConnectedTransport objects.
3014
transport.get_transport() now accepts a 'possible_transports' parameter.
3015
If a newly requested transport can share a connection with one of the
3016
list, it will.
3017
(Vincent Ladeuil)
3018
3019
* Most functions now accept ``bzrlib.revision.NULL_REVISION`` to indicate
3020
the null revision, and consider using ``None`` for this purpose
3021
deprecated. (Aaron Bentley)
3022
3023
* New ``index`` module with abstract index functionality. This will be
3024
used during the planned changes in the repository layer. Currently the
3025
index layer provides a graph aware immutable index, a builder for the
3026
same index type to allow creating them, and finally a composer for
3027
such indices to allow the use of many indices in a single query. The
3028
index performance is not optimised, however the API is stable to allow
3029
development on top of the index. (Robert Collins)
3030
3031
* ``bzrlib.dirstate.cmp_by_dirs`` can be used to compare two paths by
3032
their directory sections. This is equivalent to comparing
3033
``path.split('/')``, only without having to split the paths.
3034
This has a Pyrex implementation available.
3035
(John Arbash Meinel)
3036
3037
* New transport decorator 'unlistable+' which disables the list_dir
3038
functionality for testing.
3039
3040
* Deprecated ``change_entry`` in transform.py. (Ian Clatworthy)
3041
3042
* RevisionTree.get_weave is now deprecated. Tree.plan_merge is now used
3043
for performing annotate-merge. (Aaron Bentley)
3044
3045
* New EmailMessage class to create email messages. (Adeodato Simó)
3046
3047
* Unused functions on the private interface KnitIndex have been removed.
3048
(Robert Collins)
3049
3050
* New ``knit.KnitGraphIndex`` which provides a ``KnitIndex`` layered on top
3051
of a ``index.GraphIndex``. (Robert Collins)
3052
3053
* New ``knit.KnitVersionedFile.iter_parents`` method that allows querying
3054
the parents of many knit nodes at once, reducing round trips to the
3055
underlying index. (Robert Collins)
3056
3057
* Graph now has an is_ancestor method, various bits use it.
3058
(Aaron Bentley)
3059
3060
* The ``-Dhpss`` flag now includes timing information. As well as
3061
logging when a new connection is opened. (John Arbash Meinel)
3062
3063
* ``bzrlib.pack.ContainerWriter`` now returns an offset, length tuple to
3064
callers when inserting data, allowing generation of readv style access
3065
during pack creation, without needing a separate pass across the output
3066
pack to gather such details. (Robert Collins)
3067
3068
* ``bzrlib.pack.make_readv_reader`` allows readv based access to pack
3069
files that are stored on a transport. (Robert Collins)
3070
3071
* New ``Repository.has_same_location`` method that reports if two
3072
repository objects refer to the same repository (although with some risk
3073
of false negatives). (Andrew Bennetts)
3074
3075
* InterTree.compare now passes require_versioned on correctly.
3076
(Marius Kruger)
3077
3078
* New methods on Repository - ``start_write_group``,
3079
``commit_write_group``, ``abort_write_group`` and ``is_in_write_group`` -
3080
which provide a clean hook point for transactional Repositories - ones
3081
where all the data for a fetch or commit needs to be made atomically
3082
available in one step. This allows the write lock to remain while making
3083
a series of data insertions. (e.g. data conversion). (Robert Collins)
3084
3085
* In ``bzrlib.knit`` the internal interface has been altered to use
3086
3-tuples (index, pos, length) rather than two-tuples (pos, length) to
3087
describe where data in a knit is, allowing knits to be split into
3088
many files. (Robert Collins)
3089
3090
* ``bzrlib.knit._KnitData`` split into cache management and physical access
3091
with two access classes - ``_PackAccess`` and ``_KnitAccess`` defined.
3092
The former provides access into a .pack file, and the latter provides the
3093
current production repository form of .knit files. (Robert Collins)
3094
3095
TESTING:
3096
3097
* Remove selftest ``--clean-output``, ``--numbered-dirs`` and
3098
``--keep-output`` options, which are obsolete now that tests
3099
are done within directories in $TMPDIR. (Martin Pool)
3100
3101
* The SSH_AUTH_SOCK environment variable is now reset to avoid
3102
interaction with any running ssh agents. (Jelmer Vernooij, #125955)
3103
3104
* run_bzr_subprocess handles parameters the same way as run_bzr:
3105
either a string or a list of strings should be passed as the first
3106
parameter. Varargs-style parameters are deprecated. (Aaron Bentley)

BUGFIXES:
3121
3122
* Do not suppress pipe errors, etc. in non-display commands
3123
(Alexander Belchenko, #87178)
3124
3125
* Display a useful error message when the user requests to annotate
3126
a file that is not present in the specified revision.
3127
(James Westby, #122656)
3128
3129
* Commands that use status flags now have a reference to 'help
3130
status-flags'. (Daniel Watkins, #113436)
3131
3132
* Work around python-2.4.1 inhability to correctly parse the
3133
authentication header.
3134
(Vincent Ladeuil, #121889)
3135
3136
* Use exact encoding for merge directives. (Adeodato Simó, #120591)
3137
3138
* Fix tempfile permissions error in smart server tar bundling under
3139
Windows. (Martin _, #119330)
3140
3141
* Fix detection of directory entries in the inventory. (James Westby)
3142
3143
* Fix handling of http code 400: Bad Request When issuing too many ranges.
3144
(Vincent Ladeuil, #115209)
3145
3146
* Issue a CONNECT request when connecting to an https server
3147
via a proxy to enable SSL tunneling.
3148
(Vincent Ladeuil, #120678)
3149
3150
* Fix ``bzr log -r`` to support selecting merge revisions, both
3151
individually and as part of revision ranges.
3152
(Kent Gibson, #4663)
3153
3154
* Don't leave cruft behind when failing to acquire a lockdir.
3155
(Martin Pool, #109169)
3156
3157
* Don't use the '-f' strace option during tests.
3158
(Vincent Ladeuil, #102019).
3159
3160
* Warn when setting ``push_location`` to a value that will be masked by
3161
locations.conf. (Aaron Bentley, #122286)
3162
3163
* Fix commit ordering in corner case (Aaron Bentley, #94975)
3164
3165
* Make annotate behave in a non-ASCII world (Adeodato Simó).
3166
3167
IMPROVEMENTS:
3168
3169
* The --lsprof-file option now dumps a text rendering of the profiling
3170
information if the filename ends in ".txt". It will also convert the
3171
profiling information to a format suitable for KCacheGrind if the
3172
output filename ends in ".callgrind". Fixes to the lsprofcalltree
3173
conversion process by Jean Paul Calderone and Itamar were also merged.
3174
See http://ddaa.net/blog/python/lsprof-calltree. (Ian Clatworthy)
3175
3176
* ``info`` now defaults to non-verbose mode, displaying only paths and
3177
abbreviated format info. ``info -v`` displays all the information
3178
formerly displayed by ``info``. (Aaron Bentley, Adeodato Simó)
3179
3180
* ``bzr missing`` now has better option names ``--this`` and ``--other``.
3181
(Elliot Murphy)
3182
3183
* The internal ``weave-list`` command has become ``versionedfile-list``,
3184
and now lists knits as well as weaves. (Aaron Bentley)
3185
3186
* Automatic merge base selection uses a faster algorithm that chooses
3187
better bases in criss-cross merge situations (Aaron Bentley)
3188
3189
* Progress reporting in ``commit`` has been improved. The various logical
3190
stages are now reported on as follows, namely:
3191
3192
* Collecting changes [Entry x/y] - Stage n/m
3193
* Saving data locally - Stage n/m
3194
* Uploading data to master branch - Stage n/m
3195
* Updating the working tree - Stage n/m
3196
* Running post commit hooks - Stage n/m
3197
3198
If there is no master branch, the 3rd stage is omitted and the total
3199
number of stages is adjusted accordingly.
3200
3201
Each hook that is run after commit is listed with a name (as hooks
3202
can be slow it is useful feedback).
3203
(Ian Clatworthy, Robert Collins)
3204
3205
* Various operations that are now faster due to avoiding unnecessary
3206
topological sorts. (Aaron Bentley)
3207
3208
* Make merge directives robust against broken bundles. (Aaron Bentley)
3209
3210
* The lsprof filename note is emitted via trace.note(), not standard
3211
output. (Aaron Bentley)
3212
3213
* ``bzrlib`` now exports explicit API compatibility information to assist
3214
library users and plugins. See the ``bzrlib.api`` module for details.
3215
(Robert Collins)
3216
3217
* Remove unnecessary lock probes when acquiring a lockdir.
3218
(Martin Pool)
3219
3220
* ``bzr --version`` now shows the location of the bzr log file, which
3221
is especially useful on Windows. (Martin Pool)
3222
3223
* -D now supports hooks to get debug tracing of hooks (though its currently
3224
minimal in nature). (Robert Collins)
3225
3226
* Long log format reports deltas on merge revisions.
3227
(John Arbash Meinel, Kent Gibson)
3228
3229
* Make initial push over ftp more resilient. (John Arbash Meinel)
3230
3231
* Print a summary of changes for update just like pull does.
3232
(Daniel Watkins, #113990)
3233
3234
* Add a -Dhpss option to trace smart protocol requests and responses.

3255
``bzrlib.tests.workingtree_implementations``.
3256
These changes are an API break in the testing infrastructure only.
3257
(Robert Collins)
3258
3259
* Relocate TestCaseWithRepository to be more central. (Robert Collins)
3260
3261
* ``bzrlib.add.smart_add_tree`` will no longer perform glob expansion on
3262
win32. Callers of the function should do this and use the new
3263
``MutableTree.smart_add`` method instead. (Robert Collins)
3264
3265
* ``bzrlib.add.glob_expand_for_win32`` is now
3266
``bzrlib.win32utils.glob_expand``. (Robert Collins)
3267
3268
* ``bzrlib.add.FastPath`` is now private and moved to
3269
``bzrlib.mutabletree._FastPath``. (Robert Collins, Martin Pool)
3270
3271
* ``LockDir.wait`` removed. (Martin Pool)
3272
3273
* The ``SmartServer`` hooks API has changed for the ``server_started`` and
3274
``server_stopped`` hooks. The first parameter is now an iterable of
3275
backing URLs rather than a single URL. This is to reflect that many
3276
URLs may map to the external URL of the server. E.g. the server interally
3277
may have a chrooted URL but also the local file:// URL will be at the
3278
same location. (Robert Collins)
3279
3280
INTERNALS:
3281
3282
* New SMTPConnection class to unify email handling. (Adeodato Simó)
3283
3284
* Fix documentation of BzrError. (Adeodato Simó)
3285
3286
* Make BzrBadParameter an internal error. (Adeodato Simó)
3287
3288
* Remove use of 'assert False' to raise an exception unconditionally.
3289
(Martin Pool)
3290
3291
* Give a cleaner error when failing to decode knit index entry.
3292
(Martin Pool)
3293
3294
* TreeConfig would mistakenly search the top level when asked for options
3295
from a section. It now respects the section argument and only
3296
searches the specified section. (James Westby)
3297
3298
* Improve ``make api-docs`` output. (John Arbash Meinel)
3299
3300
* Use os.lstat rather than os.stat for osutils.make_readonly and
3301
osutils.make_writeable. This makes the difftools plugin more
3302
robust when dangling symlinks are found. (Elliot Murphy)
3303
3304
* New ``-Dlock`` option to log (to ~/.bzr.log) information on when
3305
lockdirs are taken or released. (Martin Pool)
3306
3307
* ``bzrlib`` Hooks are now nameable using ``Hooks.name_hook``. This
3308
allows a nicer UI when hooks are running as the current hook can
3309
be displayed. (Robert Collins)
3310
3311
* ``Transport.get`` has had its interface made more clear for ease of use.
3312
Retrieval of a directory must now fail with either 'PathError' at open
3313
time, or raise 'ReadError' on a read. (Robert Collins)
3314
3315
* New method ``_maybe_expand_globs`` on the ``Command`` class for
3316
dealing with unexpanded glob lists - e.g. on the win32 platform. This
3317
was moved from ``bzrlib.add._prepare_file_list``. (Robert Collins)
3318
3319
* ``bzrlib.add.smart_add`` and ``bzrlib.add.smart_add_tree`` are now
3320
deprecated in favour of ``MutableTree.smart_add``. (Robert Collins,
3321
Martin Pool)
3322
3323
* New method ``external_url`` on Transport for obtaining the url to
3324
hand to external processes. (Robert Collins)
3325
3326
* Teach windows installers to build pyrex/C extensions.
3327
(Alexander Belchenko)
3328
3329
TESTING:
3330
3331
* Removed the ``--keep-output`` option from selftest and clean up test
3332
directories as they're used. This reduces the IO load from
3333
running the test suite and cuts the time by about half.
3334
(Andrew Bennetts, Martin Pool)
3335
3336
* Add scenarios as a public attribute on the TestAdapter classes to allow
3337
modification of the generated scenarios before adaption and easier
3338
testing. (Robert Collins)
3339
3340
* New testing support class ``TestScenarioApplier`` which multiplies
3341
out a single teste by a list of supplied scenarios. (RobertCollins)
3342
3343
* Setting ``repository_to_test_repository`` on a repository_implementations
3344
test will cause it to be called during repository creation, allowing the
3345
testing of repository classes which are not based around the Format
3346
concept. For example a repository adapter can be tested in this manner,
3347
by altering the repository scenarios to include a scenario that sets this
3348
attribute during the test parameterisation in
3349
``bzrlib.tests.repository.repository_implementations``. (Robert Collins)
3350
3351
* Clean up many of the APIs for blackbox testing of Bazaar. The standard
3352
interface is now self.run_bzr. The command to run can be passed as
3353
either a list of parameters, a string containing the command line, or
3354
(deprecated) varargs parameters. (Martin Pool)
3355
3356
* The base TestCase now isolates tests from -D parameters by clearing
3357
``debug.debug_flags`` and restores it afterwards. (Robert Collins)
3358
3359
* Add a relpath parameter to get_transport methods in test framework to
3360
avoid useless cloning.

3369
* Fix crash of commit due to wrong lookup of filesystem encoding.

3379
NOTES WHEN UPGRADING:
3380
3381
* The kind() and is_executable() APIs on the WorkingTree interface no
3382
longer implicitly (read) locks and unlocks the tree. This *might*
3383
impact some plug-ins and tools using this part of the API. If you find
3384
an issue that may be caused by this change, please let us know,
3385
particularly the plug-in/tool maintainer. If encountered, the API
3386
fix is to surround kind() and is_executable() calls with lock_read()
3387
and unlock() like so::
3388
3389
work_tree.lock_read()
3390
try:
3391
kind = work_tree.kind(...)
3392
finally:
3393
work_tree.unlock()
3394
3395
INTERNALS:
3396
* Rework of LogFormatter API to provide beginning/end of log hooks and to
3397
encapsulate the details of the revision to be logged in a LogRevision
3398
object.
3399
In long log formats, merge revision ids are only shown when --show-ids
3400
is specified, and are labelled "revision-id:", as per mainline
3401
revisions, instead of "merged:". (Kent Gibson)
3402
3403
* New ``BranchBuilder`` API which allows the construction of particular
3404
histories quickly. Useful for testing and potentially other applications
3405
too. (Robert Collins)
3406
3407
IMPROVEMENTS:
3408
3409
* There are two new help topics, working-trees and repositories that
3410
attempt to explain these concepts. (James Westby, John Arbash Meinel,
3411
Aaron Bentley)
3412
3413
* Added ``bzr log --limit`` to report a limited number of revisions.
3414
(Kent Gibson, #3659)
3415
3416
* Revert does not try to preserve file contents that were originally
3417
produced by reverting to a historical revision. (Aaron Bentley)
3418
3419
* ``bzr log --short`` now includes ``[merge]`` for revisions which
3420
have more than one parent. This is a small improvement to help
3421
understanding what changes have occurred
3422
(John Arbash Meinel, #83887)
3423
3424
* TreeTransform avoids many renames when contructing large trees,
3425
improving speed. 3.25x speedups have been observed for construction of
3426
kernel-sized-trees, and checkouts are 1.28x faster. (Aaron Bentley)
3427
3428
* Commit on large trees is now faster. In my environment, a commit of
3429
a small change to the Mozilla tree (55k files) has dropped from
3430
66 seconds to 32 seconds. For a small tree of 600 files, commit of a
3431
small change is 33% faster. (Ian Clatworthy)
3432
3433
* New --create-prefix option to bzr init, like for push. (Daniel Watkins,
3434
#56322)
3435
3436
BUGFIXES:
3437
3438
* ``bzr push`` should only connect to the remote location one time.
3439
We have been connecting 3 times because we forget to pass around
3440
the Transport object. This adds ``BzrDir.clone_on_transport()``, so
3441
that we can pass in the Transport that we already have.
3442
(John Arbash Meinel, #75721)
3443
3444
* ``DirState.set_state_from_inventory()`` needs to properly order
3445
based on split paths, not just string paths.
3446
(John Arbash Meinel, #115947)
3447
3448
* Let TestUIFactoy encode the password prompt with its own stdout.
3449
(Vincent Ladeuil, #110204)
3450
3451
* pycurl should take use the range header that takes the range hint
3452
into account.
3453
(Vincent Ladeuil, #112719)
3454
3455
* WorkingTree4.get_file_sha1 no longer raises an exception when invoked
3456
on a missing file. (Aaron Bentley, #118186)
3457
3458
* WorkingTree.remove works correctly with tree references, and when pwd is
3459
not the tree root. (Aaron Bentley)
3460
3461
* Merge no longer fails when a file is renamed in one tree and deleted
3462
in the other. (Aaron Bentley, #110279)
3463
3464
* ``revision-info`` now accepts dotted revnos, doesn't require a tree,
3465
and defaults to the last revision (Matthew Fuller, #90048)
3466
3467
* Tests no longer fail when BZR_REMOTE_PATH is set in the environment.
3468
(Daniel Watkins, #111958)
3469
3470
* ``bzr branch -r revid:foo`` can be used to branch any revision in
3471
your repository. (Previously Branch6 only supported revisions in your
3472
mainline). (John Arbash Meinel, #115343)
3473
3474
bzr 0.16 2007-05-07
3475
--------------------
3476
3477
BUGFIXES:
3478
3479
* Handle when you have 2 directories with similar names, but one has a
3480
hyphen. (``'abc'`` versus ``'abc-2'``). The WT4._iter_changes
3481
iterator was using direct comparison and ``'abc/a'`` sorts after
3482
``'abc-2'``, but ``('abc', 'a')`` sorts before ``('abc-2',)``.
3483
(John Arbash Meinel, #111227)
3484
3485
* Handle when someone renames a file on disk without telling bzr.
3486
Previously we would report the first file as missing, but not show
3487
the new unknown file. (John Arbash Meinel, #111288)
3488
3489
* Avoid error when running hooks after pulling into or pushing from
3490
a branch bound to a smartserver branch. (Martin Pool, #111968)
3491
3492
IMPROVEMENTS:
3493
3494
* Move developer documentation to doc/developers/. This reduces clutter in
3495
the root of the source tree and allows HACKING to be split into multiple
3496
files. (Robert Collins, Alexander Belchenko)
3497
3498
* Clean up the ``WorkingTree4._iter_changes()`` internal loops as well as
3499
``DirState.update_entry()``. This optimizes the core logic for ``bzr
3500
diff`` and ``bzr status`` significantly improving the speed of
3501
both. (John Arbash Meinel)

3503
bzr 0.16rc2 2007-04-30
3504
-----------------------
3505
3506
BUGFIXES:
3507
3508
* Handle the case when you delete a file, and then rename another file
3509
on top of it. Also handle the case of ``bzr rm --keep foo``. ``bzr
3510
status`` should show the removed file and an unknown file in its
3511
place. (John Arbash Meinel, #109993)
3512
3513
* Bundles properly read and write revision properties that have an
3514
empty value. And when the value is not ASCII.
3515
(John Arbash Meinel, #109613)
3516
3517
* Fix the bzr commit message to be in text mode.
3518
(Alexander Belchenko, #110901)
3519
3520
* Also handle when you rename a file and create a file where it used
3521
to be. (John Arbash Meinel, #110256)
3522
3523
* ``WorkingTree4._iter_changes`` should not descend into unversioned
3524
directories. (John Arbash Meinel, #110399)
3525
3526
bzr 0.16rc1 2007-04-26
3527
-----------------------
3528
3529
NOTES WHEN UPGRADING:
3530
3531
* ``bzr remove`` and ``bzr rm`` will now remove the working file, if
3532
it could be recovered again.
3533
This has been done for consistency with svn and the unix rm command.
3534
The old ``remove`` behaviour has been retained in the new option
3535
``bzr remove --keep``, which will just stop versioning the file,
3536
but not delete it.
3537
``bzr remove --force`` have been added which will always delete the
3538
files.
3539
``bzr remove`` is also more verbose.
3540
(Marius Kruger, #82602)
3541
3542
IMPROVEMENTS:
3543
3544
* Merge directives can now be supplied as input to `merge` and `pull`,
3545
like bundles can. (Aaron Bentley)
3546
3547
* Sending the SIGQUIT signal to bzr, which can be done on Unix by
3548
pressing Control-Backslash, drops bzr into a debugger. Type ``'c'``
3549
to continue. This can be disabled by setting the environment variable
3550
``BZR_SIGQUIT_PDB=0``. (Martin Pool)
3551
3552
* selftest now supports --list-only to list tests instead of running
3553
them. (Ian Clatworthy)
3554
3555
* selftest now supports --exclude PATTERN (or -x PATTERN) to exclude
3556
tests with names that match that regular expression.
3557
(Ian Clatworthy, #102679)
3558
3559
* selftest now supports --randomize SEED to run tests in a random order.
3560
SEED is typically the value 'now' meaning 'use the current time'.
3561
(Ian Clatworthy, #102686)
3562
3563
* New option ``--fixes`` to commit, which stores bug fixing annotations as
3564
revision properties. Built-in support for Launchpad, Debian, Trac and
3565
Bugzilla bug trackers. (Jonathan Lange, James Henstridge, Robert Collins)
3566
3567
* New API, ``bzrlib.bugtracker.tracker_registry``, for adding support for
3568
other bug trackers to ``fixes``. (Jonathan Lange, James Henstridge,
3569
Robert Collins)
3570
3571
* ``selftest`` has new short options ``-f`` and ``-1``. (Martin
3572
Pool)
3573
3574
* ``bzrlib.tsort.MergeSorter`` optimizations. Change the inner loop
3575
into using local variables instead of going through ``self._var``.
3576
Improves the time to ``merge_sort`` a 10k revision graph by
3577
approximately 40% (~700->400ms). (John Arbash Meinel)
3578
3579
* ``make docs`` now creates a man page at ``man1/bzr.1`` fixing bug 107388.
3580
(Robert Collins)
3581
3582
* ``bzr help`` now provides cross references to other help topics using
3583
the _see_also facility on command classes. Likewise the bzr_man
3584
documentation, and the bzr.1 man page also include this information.
3585
(Robert Collins)
3586
3587
* Tags are now included in logs, that use the long log formatter.
3588
(Erik Bågfors, Alexander Belchenko)
3589
3590
* ``bzr help`` provides a clearer message when a help topic cannot be
3591
found. (Robert Collins, #107656)
3592
3593
* ``bzr help`` now accepts optional prefixes for command help. The help
3594
for all commands can now be found at ``bzr help commands/COMMANDNAME``
3595
as well as ``bzr help COMMANDNAME`` (which only works for commands
3596
where the name is not the same as a more general help topic).
3597
(Robert Collins)
3598
3599
* ``bzr help PLUGINNAME`` will now return the module docstring from the
3600
plugin PLUGINNAME. (Robert Collins, #50408)
3601
3602
* New help topic ``urlspec`` which lists the availables transports.
3603
(Goffredo Baroncelli)
3604
3605
* doc/server.txt updated to document the default bzr:// port
3606
and also update the blurb about the hpss' current status.
3607
(Robert Collins, #107125).
3608
3609
* ``bzr serve`` now listens on interface 0.0.0.0 by default, making it
3610
serve out to the local LAN (and anyone in the world that can reach the
3611
machine running ``bzr serve``. (Robert Collins, #98918)
3612
3613
* A new smart server protocol version has been added. It prefixes requests
3614
and responses with an explicit version identifier so that future protocol
3615
revisions can be dealt with gracefully. (Andrew Bennetts, Robert Collins)
3616
3617
* The bzr protocol version 2 indicates success or failure in every response
3618
without depending on particular commands encoding that consistently,
3619
allowing future client refactorings to be much more robust about error
3620
handling. (Robert Collins, Martin Pool, Andrew Bennetts)
3621
3622
* The smart protocol over HTTP client has been changed to always post to the
3623
same ``.bzr/smart`` URL under the original location when it can. This allows
3624
HTTP servers to only have to pass URLs ending in .bzr/smart to the smart
3625
server handler, and not arbitrary ``.bzr/*/smart`` URLs. (Andrew Bennetts)
3626
3627
* digest authentication is now supported for proxies and HTTP by the urllib
3628
based http implementation. Tested against Apache 2.0.55 and Squid
3629
2.6.5. Basic and digest authentication are handled coherently for HTTP
3630
and proxy: if the user is provided in the url (bzr command line for HTTP,
3631
proxy environment variables for proxies), the password is prompted for
3632
(only once). If the password is provided, it is taken into account. Once
3633
the first authentication is successful, all further authentication
3634
roundtrips are avoided by preventively setting the right authentication
3635
header(s).
3636
(Vincent Ladeuil).
3637
3638
INTERNALS:
3639
3640
* bzrlib API compatability with 0.8 has been dropped, cleaning up some
3641
code paths. (Robert Collins)
3642
3643
* Change the format of chroot urls so that they can be safely manipulated
3644
by generic url utilities without causing the resulting urls to have
3645
escaped the chroot. A side effect of this is that creating a chroot
3646
requires an explicit action using a ChrootServer.
3647
(Robert Collins, Andrew Bennetts)
3648
3649
* Deprecate ``Branch.get_root_id()`` because branches don't have root ids,
3650
rather than fixing bug #96847. (Aaron Bentley)
3651
3652
* ``WorkingTree.apply_inventory_delta`` provides a better alternative to
3653
``WorkingTree._write_inventory``. (Aaron Bentley)
3654
3655
* Convenience method ``TestCase.expectFailure`` ensures that known failures
3656
do not silently pass. (Aaron Bentley)
3657
3658
* ``Transport.local_abspath`` now raises ``NotLocalUrl`` rather than
3659
``TransportNotPossible``. (Martin Pool, Ian Clatworthy)
3660
3661
* New SmartServer hooks facility. There are two initial hooks documented
3662
in ``bzrlib.transport.smart.SmartServerHooks``. The two initial hooks allow
3663
plugins to execute code upon server startup and shutdown.
3664
(Robert Collins).
3665
3666
* SmartServer in standalone mode will now close its listening socket
3667
when it stops, rather than waiting for garbage collection. This primarily
3668
fixes test suite hangs when a test tries to connect to a shutdown server.
3669
It may also help improve behaviour when dealing with a server running
3670
on a specific port (rather than dynamically assigned ports).
3671
(Robert Collins)
3672
3673
* Move most SmartServer code into a new package, bzrlib/smart.
3674
bzrlib/transport/remote.py contains just the Transport classes that used
3675
to be in bzrlib/transport/smart.py. (Andrew Bennetts)
3676
3677
* urllib http implementation avoid roundtrips associated with
3678
401 (and 407) errors once the authentication succeeds.
3679
(Vincent Ladeuil).
3680
3681
* urlib http now supports querying the user for a proxy password if
3682
needed. Realm is shown in the prompt for both HTTP and proxy
3683
authentication when the user is required to type a password.
3684
(Vincent Ladeuil).
3685
3686
* Renamed SmartTransport (and subclasses like SmartTCPTransport) to
3687
RemoteTransport (and subclasses to RemoteTCPTransport, etc). This is more
3688
consistent with its new home in ``bzrlib/transport/remote.py``, and because
3689
it's not really a "smart" transport, just one that does file operations
3690
via remote procedure calls. (Andrew Bennetts)
3691
3692
* The ``lock_write`` method of ``LockableFiles``, ``Repository`` and
3693
``Branch`` now accept a ``token`` keyword argument, so that separate
3694
instances of those objects can share a lock if it has the right token.
3695
(Andrew Bennetts, Robert Collins)
3696
3697
* New method ``get_branch_reference`` on ``BzrDir`` allows the detection of
3698
branch references - which the smart server component needs.
3699
3700
* The Repository API ``make_working_trees`` is now permitted to return
3701
False when ``set_make_working_trees`` is not implemented - previously
3702
an unimplemented ``set_make_working_trees`` implied the result True
3703
from ``make_working_trees``. This has been changed to accomodate the
3704
smart server, where it does not make sense (at this point) to ever
3705
make working trees by default. (Robert Collins)
3706
3707
* Command objects can now declare related help topics by having _see_also
3708
set to a list of related topic. (Robert Collins)
3709
3710
* ``bzrlib.help`` now delegates to the Command class for Command specific
3711
help. (Robert Collins)
3712
3713
* New class ``TransportListRegistry``, derived from the Registry class, which
3714
simplifies tracking the available Transports. (Goffredo Baroncelli)
3715
3716
* New function ``Branch.get_revision_id_to_revno_map`` which will
3717
return a dictionary mapping revision ids to dotted revnos. Since
3718
dotted revnos are defined in the context of the branch tip, it makes
3719
sense to generate them from a ``Branch`` object.
3720
(John Arbash Meinel)
3721
3722
* Fix the 'Unprintable error' message display to use the repr of the
3723
exception that prevented printing the error because the str value
3724
for it is often not useful in debugging (e.g. KeyError('foo') has a
3725
str() of 'foo' but a repr of 'KeyError('foo')' which is much more
3726
useful. (Robert Collins)
3727
3728
* ``urlutils.normalize_url`` now unescapes unreserved characters, such as "~".
3729
(Andrew Bennetts)
3730
3731
BUGFIXES:
3732
3733
* Don't fail bundle selftest if email has 'two' embedded.
3734
(Ian Clatworthy, #98510)
3735
3736
* Remove ``--verbose`` from ``bzr bundle``. It didn't work anyway.
3737
(Robert Widhopf-Fenk, #98591)
3738
3739
* Remove ``--basis`` from the checkout/branch commands - it didn't work
3740
properly and is no longer beneficial.
3741
(Robert Collins, #53675, #43486)
3742
3743
* Don't produce encoding error when adding duplicate files.
3744
(Aaron Bentley)
3745
3746
* Fix ``bzr log <file>`` so it only logs the revisions that changed
3747
the file, and does it faster.
3748
(Kent Gibson, John Arbash Meinel, #51980, #69477)
3749
3750
* Fix ``InterDirstateTre._iter_changes`` to handle when we come across
3751
an empty versioned directory, which now has files in it.
3752
(John Arbash Meinel, #104257)
3753
3754
* Teach ``common_ancestor`` to shortcut when the tip of one branch is
3755
inside the ancestry of the other. Saves a lot of graph processing
3756
(with an ancestry of 16k revisions, ``bzr merge ../already-merged``
3757
changes from 2m10s to 13s). (John Arbash Meinel, #103757)
3758
3759
* Fix ``show_diff_trees`` to handle the case when a file is modified,
3760
and the containing directory is renamed. (The file path is different
3761
in this versus base, but it isn't marked as a rename).
3762
(John Arbash Meinel, #103870)
3763
3764
* FTP now works even when the FTP server does not support atomic rename.
3765
(Aaron Bentley, #89436)
3766
3767
* Correct handling in bundles and merge directives of timezones with
3768
that are not an integer number of hours offset from UTC. Always
3769
represent the epoch time in UTC to avoid problems with formatting
3770
earlier times on win32. (Martin Pool, Alexander Belchenko, John
3771
Arbash Meinel)
3772
3773
* Typo in the help for ``register-branch`` fixed. (Robert Collins, #96770)
3774
3775
* "dirstate" and "dirstate-tags" formats now produce branches compatible
3776
with old versions of bzr. (Aaron Bentley, #107168))
3777
3778
* Handle moving a directory when children have been added, removed,
3779
and renamed. (John Arbash Meinel, #105479)
3780
3781
* Don't preventively use basic authentication for proxy before receiving a
3782
407 error. Otherwise people willing to use other authentication schemes
3783
may expose their password in the clear (or nearly). This add one
3784
roundtrip in case basic authentication should be used, but plug the
3785
security hole.
3786
(Vincent Ladeuil)
3787
3788
* Handle http and proxy digest authentication.
3789
(Vincent Ladeuil, #94034).
3790
3791
TESTING:
3792
3793
* Added ``bzrlib.strace.strace`` which will strace a single callable and
3794
return a StraceResult object which contains just the syscalls involved
3795
in running it. (Robert Collins)
3796
3797
* New test method ``reduceLockdirTimeout`` to drop the default (ui-centric)
3798
default time down to one suitable for tests. (Andrew Bennetts)
3799
3800
* Add new ``vfs_transport_factory`` attribute on tests which provides the
3801
common vfs backing for both the readonly and readwrite transports.
3802
This allows the RemoteObject tests to back onto local disk or memory,
3803
and use the existing ``transport_server`` attribute all tests know about
3804
to be the smart server transport. This in turn allows tests to
3805
differentiate between 'transport to access the branch', and
3806
'transport which is a VFS' - which matters in Remote* tests.
3807
(Robert Collins, Andrew Bennetts)
3808
3809
* The ``make_branch_and_tree`` method for tests will now create a
3810
lightweight checkout for the tree if the ``vfs_transport_factory`` is not
3811
a LocalURLServer. (Robert Collins, Andrew Bennetts)
3812
3813
* Branch implementation tests have been audited to ensure that all urls
3814
passed to Branch APIs use proper urls, except when local-disk paths
3815
are intended. This is so that tests correctly access the test transport
3816
which is often not equivalent to local disk in Remote* tests. As part
3817
of this many tests were adjusted to remove dependencies on local disk
3818
access.
3819
(Robert Collins, Andrew Bennetts)
3820
3821
* Mark bzrlib.tests and bzrlib.tests.TestUtil as providing assertFOO helper
3822
functions by adding a ``__unittest`` global attribute. (Robert Collins,
3823
Andrew Bennetts, Martin Pool, Jonathan Lange)
3824
3825
* Refactored proxy and authentication handling to simplify the
3826
implementation of new auth schemes for both http and proxy.

-----------------------
3843
3844
CHANGES:
3845
3846
* A warning is now displayed when opening working trees in older
3847
formats, to encourage people to upgrade to WorkingTreeFormat4.
3848
(Martin Pool)
3849
3850
IMPROVEMENTS:
3851
3852
* HTTP redirections are now taken into account when a branch (or a
3853
bundle) is accessed for the first time. A message is issued at each
3854
redirection to inform the user. In the past, http redirections were
3855
silently followed for each request which significantly degraded the
3856
performances. The http redirections are not followed anymore by
3857
default, instead a RedirectRequested exception is raised. For bzrlib
3858
users needing to follow http redirections anyway,
3859
``bzrlib.transport.do_catching_redirections`` provide an easy transition
3860
path. (vila)
3861
3862
INTERNALS:
3863
3864
* Added ``ReadLock.temporary_write_lock()`` to allow upgrading an OS read
3865
lock to an OS write lock. Linux can do this without unlocking, Win32
3866
needs to unlock in between. (John Arbash Meinel)
3867
3868
* New parameter ``recommend_upgrade`` to ``BzrDir.open_workingtree``
3869
to silence (when false) warnings about opening old formats.
3870
(Martin Pool)
3871
3872
* Fix minor performance regression with bzr-0.15 on pre-dirstate
3873
trees. (We were reading the working inventory too many times).
3874
(John Arbash Meinel)
3875
3876
* Remove ``Branch.get_transaction()`` in favour of a simple cache of
3877
``revision_history``. Branch subclasses should override
3878
``_gen_revision_history`` rather than ``revision_history`` to make use of
3879
this cache, and call ``_clear_revision_history_cache`` and
3880
``_cache_revision_history`` at appropriate times. (Andrew Bennetts)
3881
3882
BUGFIXES:
3883
3884
* Take ``smtp_server`` from user config into account.
3885
(vila, #92195)
3886
3887
* Restore Unicode filename handling for versioned and unversioned files.
3888
(John Arbash Meinel, #92608)
3889
3890
* Don't fail during ``bzr commit`` if a file is marked removed, and
3891
the containing directory is auto-removed. (John Arbash Meinel, #93681)
3892
3893
* ``bzr status FILENAME`` failed on Windows because of an uncommon
3894
errno. (``ERROR_DIRECTORY == 267 != ENOTDIR``).
3895
(Wouter van Heyst, John Arbash Meinel, #90819)
3896
3897
* ``bzr checkout source`` should create a local branch in the same
3898
format as source. (John Arbash Meinel, #93854)
3899
3900
* ``bzr commit`` with a kind change was failing to update the
3901
last-changed-revision for directories. The
3902
InventoryDirectory._unchanged only looked at the ``parent_id`` and name,
3903
ignoring the fact that the kind could have changed, too.
3904
(John Arbash Meinel, #90111)
3905
3906
* ``bzr mv dir/subdir other`` was incorrectly updating files inside
3907
the directory. So that there was a chance it would break commit,
3908
etc. (John Arbash Meinel, #94037)
3909
3910
* Correctly handles mutiple permanent http redirections.

3914
-----------------------
3915
3916
NOTES WHEN UPGRADING:
3917
3918
* Release 0.15rc2 of bzr changes the ``bzr init-repo`` command to
3919
default to ``--trees`` instead of ``--no-trees``.
3920
Existing shared repositories are not affected.
3921
3922
IMPROVEMENTS:
3923
3924
* New ``merge-directive`` command to generate machine- and human-readable
3925
merge requests. (Aaron Bentley)
3926
3927
* New ``submit:`` revision specifier makes it easy to diff against the
3928
common ancestor with the submit location (Aaron Bentley)
3929
3930
* Added support for Putty's SSH implementation. (Dmitry Vasiliev)
3931
3932
* Added ``bzr status --versioned`` to report only versioned files,
3933
not unknowns. (Kent Gibson)
3934
3935
* Merge now autodetects the correct line-ending style for its conflict
3936
markers. (Aaron Bentley)
3937
3938
INTERNALS:
3939
3940
* Refactored SSH vendor registration into SSHVendorManager class.
3941
(Dmitry Vasiliev)
3942
3943
BUGFIXES:
3944
3945
* New ``--numbered-dirs`` option to ``bzr selftest`` to use
3946
numbered dirs for TestCaseInTempDir. This is default behavior
3947
on Windows. Anyone can force named dirs on Windows
3948
with ``--no-numbered-dirs``. (Alexander Belchenko)
3949
3950
* Fix ``RevisionSpec_revid`` to handle the Unicode strings passed in
3951
from the command line. (Marien Zwart, #90501)
3952
3953
* Fix ``TreeTransform._iter_changes`` when both the source and
3954
destination are missing. (Aaron Bentley, #88842)
3955
3956
* Fix commit of merges with symlinks in dirstate trees.
3957
(Marien Zwart)
3958
3959
* Switch the ``bzr init-repo`` default from --no-trees to --trees.
3960
(Wouter van Heyst, #53483)

3963
bzr 0.15rc1 2007-03-07
3964
-----------------------
3965
3966
SURPRISES:
3967
3968
* The default disk format has changed. Please run 'bzr upgrade' in your
3969
working trees to upgrade. This new default is compatible for network
3970
operations, but not for local operations. That is, if you have two
3971
versions of bzr installed locally, after upgrading you can only use the
3972
bzr 0.15 version. This new default does not enable tags or nested-trees
3973
as they are incompatible with bzr versions before 0.15 over the network.
3974
3975
* For users of bzrlib: Two major changes have been made to the working tree
3976
api in bzrlib. The first is that many methods and attributes, including
3977
the inventory attribute, are no longer valid for use until one of
3978
``lock_read``/``lock_write``/``lock_tree_write`` has been called,
3979
and become invalid again after unlock is called. This has been done
3980
to improve performance and correctness as part of the dirstate
3981
development.
3982
(Robert Collins, John A Meinel, Martin Pool, and others).
3983
3984
* For users of bzrlib: The attribute 'tree.inventory' should be considered
3985
readonly. Previously it was possible to directly alter this attribute, or
3986
its contents, and have the tree notice this. This has been made
3987
unsupported - it may work in some tree formats, but in the newer dirstate
3988
format such actions will have no effect and will be ignored, or even
3989
cause assertions. All operations possible can still be carried out by a
3990
combination of the tree API, and the bzrlib.transform API. (Robert
3991
Collins, John A Meinel, Martin Pool, and others).
3992
3993
IMPROVEMENTS:
3994
3995
* Support for OS Windows 98. Also .bzr.log on any windows system
3996
saved in My Documents folder. (Alexander Belchenko)
3997
3998
* ``bzr mv`` enhanced to support already moved files.
3999
In the past the mv command would have failed if the source file doesn't
4000
exist. In this situation ``bzr mv`` would now detect that the file has
4001
already moved and update the repository accordingly, if the target file
4002
does exist.
4003
A new option ``--after`` has been added so that if two files already
4004
exist, you could notify Bazaar that you have moved a (versioned) file
4005
and replaced it with another. Thus in this case ``bzr move --after``
4006
will only update the Bazaar identifier.
4007
(Steffen Eichenberg, Marius Kruger)
4008
4009
* ``ls`` now works on treeless branches and remote branches.
4010
(Aaron Bentley)
4011
4012
* ``bzr help global-options`` describes the global options.
4013
(Aaron Bentley)
4014
4015
* ``bzr pull --overwrite`` will now correctly overwrite checkouts.
4016
(Robert Collins)
4017
4018
* Files are now allowed to change kind (e.g. from file to symlink).
4019
Supported by ``commit``, ``revert`` and ``status``
4020
(Aaron Bentley)
4021
4022
* ``inventory`` and ``unknowns`` hidden in favour of ``ls``
4023
(Aaron Bentley)
4024
4025
* ``bzr help checkouts`` descibes what checkouts are and some possible
4026
uses of them. (James Westby, Aaron Bentley)
4027
4028
* A new ``-d`` option to push, pull and merge overrides the default
4029
directory. (Martin Pool)
4030
4031
* Branch format 6: smaller, and potentially faster than format 5. Supports
4032
``append_history_only`` mode, where the log view and revnos do not change,
4033
except by being added to. Stores policy settings in
4034
".bzr/branch/branch.conf".
4035
4036
* ``append_only`` branches: Format 6 branches may be configured so that log
4037
view and revnos are always consistent. Either create the branch using
4038
"bzr init --append-revisions-only" or edit the config file as descriped
4039
in docs/configuration.txt.
4040
4041
* rebind: Format 6 branches retain the last-used bind location, so if you
4042
"bzr unbind", you can "bzr bind" to bind to the previously-selected
4043
bind location.
4044
4045
* Builtin tags support, created and deleted by the ``tag`` command and
4046
stored in the branch. Tags can be accessed with the revisionspec
4047
``-rtag:``, and listed with ``bzr tags``. Tags are not versioned
4048
at present. Tags require a network incompatible upgrade. To perform this
4049
upgrade, run ``bzr upgrade --dirstate-tags`` in your branch and
4050
repositories. (Martin Pool)
4051
4052
* The ``bzr://`` transport now has a well-known port number, 4155,
4053
which it will use by default. (Andrew Bennetts, Martin Pool)
4054
4055
* Bazaar now looks for user-installed plugins before looking for site-wide
4056
plugins. (Jonathan Lange)
4057
4058
* ``bzr resolve`` now detects and marks resolved text conflicts.
4059
(Aaron Bentley)
4060
4061
INTERNALS:
4062
4063
* Internally revision ids and file ids are now passed around as utf-8
4064
bytestrings, rather than treating them as Unicode strings. This has
4065
performance benefits for Knits, since we no longer need to decode the
4066
revision id for each line of content, nor for each entry in the index.
4067
This will also help with the future dirstate format.
4068
(John Arbash Meinel)
4069
4070
* Reserved ids (any revision-id ending in a colon) are rejected by
4071
versionedfiles, repositories, branches, and working trees
4072
(Aaron Bentley)
4073
4074
* Minor performance improvement by not creating a ProgressBar for
4075
every KnitIndex we create. (about 90ms for a bzr.dev tree)
4076
(John Arbash Meinel)
4077
4078
* New easier to use Branch hooks facility. There are five initial hooks,
4079
all documented in bzrlib.branch.BranchHooks.__init__ - ``'set_rh'``,
4080
``'post_push'``, ``'post_pull'``, ``'post_commit'``,
4081
``'post_uncommit'``. These hooks fire after the matching operation
4082
on a branch has taken place, and were originally added for the
4083
branchrss plugin. (Robert Collins)
4084
4085
* New method ``Branch.push()`` which should be used when pushing from a
4086
branch as it makes performance and policy decisions to match the UI
4087
level command ``push``. (Robert Collins).
4088
4089
* Add a new method ``Tree.revision_tree`` which allows access to cached
4090
trees for arbitrary revisions. This allows the in development dirstate
4091
tree format to provide access to the callers to cached copies of
4092
inventory data which are cheaper to access than inventories from the
4093
repository.
4094
(Robert Collins, Martin Pool)
4095
4096
* New ``Branch.last_revision_info`` method, this is being done to allow
4097
optimization of requests for both the number of revisions and the last
4098
revision of a branch with smartservers and potentially future branch
4099
formats. (Wouter van Heyst, Robert Collins)
4100
4101
* Allow ``'import bzrlib.plugins.NAME'`` to work when the plugin NAME has not
4102
yet been loaded by ``load_plugins()``. This allows plugins to depend on each
4103
other for code reuse without requiring users to perform file-renaming
4104
gymnastics. (Robert Collins)
4105
4106
* New Repository method ``'gather_stats'`` for statistic data collection.
4107
This is expected to grow to cover a number of related uses mainly
4108
related to bzr info. (Robert Collins)
4109
4110
* Log formatters are now managed with a registry.
4111
``log.register_formatter`` continues to work, but callers accessing
4112
the FORMATTERS dictionary directly will not.
4113
4114
* Allow a start message to be passed to the ``edit_commit_message``
4115
function. This will be placed in the message offered to the user
4116
for editing above the separator. It allows a template commit message
4117
to be used more easily. (James Westby)
4118
4119
* ``GPGStrategy.sign()`` will now raise ``BzrBadParameterUnicode`` if
4120
you pass a Unicode string rather than an 8-bit string. Callers need
4121
to be updated to encode first. (John Arbash Meinel)
4122
4123
* Branch.push, pull, merge now return Result objects with information
4124
about what happened, rather than a scattering of various methods. These
4125
are also passed to the post hooks. (Martin Pool)
4126
4127
* File formats and architecture is in place for managing a forest of trees
4128
in bzr, and splitting up existing trees into smaller subtrees, and
4129
finally joining trees to make a larger tree. This is the first iteration
4130
of this support, and the user-facing aspects still require substantial
4131
work. If you wish to experiment with it, use ``bzr upgrade
4132
--dirstate-with-subtree`` in your working trees and repositories.
4133
You can use the hidden commands ``split`` and ``join`` and to create
4134
and manipulate nested trees, but please consider using the nested-trees
4135
branch, which contains substantial UI improvements, instead.
4136
http://code.aaronbentley.com/bzr/bzrrepo/nested-trees/
4137
(Aaron Bentley, Martin Pool, Robert Collins).
4138
4139
BUGFIXES:
4140
4141
* ``bzr annotate`` now uses dotted revnos from the viewpoint of the
4142
branch, rather than the last changed revision of the file.
4143
(John Arbash Meinel, #82158)
4144
4145
* Lock operations no longer hang if they encounter a permission problem.
4146

* ``bzr push`` can resume a push that was canceled before it finished.
4149
Also, it can push even if the target directory exists if you supply
4150
the ``--use-existing-dir`` flag.
4151
(John Arbash Meinel, #30576, #45504)
4152
4153
* Fix http proxy authentication when user and an optional
4154
password appears in the ``*_proxy`` vars. (Vincent Ladeuil,
4155
#83954).
4156
4157
* ``bzr log branch/file`` works for local treeless branches
4158
(Aaron Bentley, #84247)
4159
4160
* Fix problem with UNC paths on Windows 98. (Alexander Belchenko, #84728)
4161
4162
* Searching location of CA bundle for PyCurl in env variable
4163
(``CURL_CA_BUNDLE``), and on win32 along the PATH.
4164
(Alexander Belchenko, #82086)
4165
4166
* ``bzr init`` works with unicode argument LOCATION.
4167
(Alexander Belchenko, #85599)
4168
4169
* Raise ``DependencyNotPresent`` if pycurl do not support https.
4170
(Vincent Ladeuil, #85305)
4171
4172
* Invalid proxy env variables should not cause a traceback.
4173
(Vincent Ladeuil, #87765)
4174
4175
* Ignore patterns normalised to use '/' path separator.
4176
(Kent Gibson, #86451)
4177
4178
* bzr rocks. It sure does! Fix case. (Vincent Ladeuil, #78026)
4179
4180
* Fix bzrtools shelve command for removed lines beginning with "--"
4181
(Johan Dahlberg, #75577)
4182
4183
TESTING:
4184
4185
* New ``--first`` option to ``bzr selftest`` to run specified tests
4186
before the rest of the suite. (Martin Pool)

--------------------
4191
4192
IMPROVEMENTS:
4193
4194
* ``bzr help global-options`` describes the global options. (Aaron Bentley)
4195
4196
BUG FIXES:
4197
4198
* Skip documentation generation tests if the tools to do so are not
4199
available. Fixes running selftest for installled copies of bzr.
4200
(John Arbash Meinel, #80330)
4201
4202
* Fix the code that discovers whether bzr is being run from it's
4203
working tree to handle the case when it isn't but the directory
4204
it is in is below a repository. (James Westby, #77306)

4207
bzr 0.14rc1 2007-01-16
4208
-----------------------
4209
4210
IMPROVEMENTS:
4211
4212
* New connection: ``bzr+http://`` which supports tunnelling the smart
4213
protocol over an HTTP connection. If writing is enabled on the bzr
4214
server, then you can write over the http connection.
4215
(Andrew Bennetts, John Arbash Meinel)
4216
4217
* Aliases now support quotation marks, so they can contain whitespace
4218
(Marius Kruger)
4219
4220
* PyCurlTransport now use a single curl object. By specifying explicitly
4221
the 'Range' header, we avoid the need to use two different curl objects
4222
(and two connections to the same server). (Vincent Ladeuil)
4223
4224
* ``bzr commit`` does not prompt for a message until it is very likely to
4225
succeed. (Aaron Bentley)
4226
4227
* ``bzr conflicts`` now takes --text to list pathnames of text conflicts
4228
(Aaron Bentley)
4229
4230
* Fix ``iter_lines_added_or_present_in_versions`` to use a set instead
4231
of a list while checking if a revision id was requested. Takes 10s
4232
off of the ``fileids_affected_by_revision_ids`` time, which is 10s
4233
of the ``bzr branch`` time. Also improve ``fileids_...`` time by
4234
filtering lines with a regex rather than multiple ``str.find()``
4235
calls. (saves another 300ms) (John Arbash Meinel)
4236
4237
* Policy can be set for each configuration key. This allows keys to be
4238
inherited properly across configuration entries. For example, this
4239
should enable you to do::
4240
4241
[/home/user/project]
4242
push_location = sftp://host/srv/project/
4243
push_location:policy = appendpath
4244
4245
And then a branch like ``/home/user/project/mybranch`` should get an
4246
automatic push location of ``sftp://host/srv/project/mybranch``.
4247
(James Henstridge)
4248
4249
* Added ``bzr status --short`` to make status report svn style flags
4250
for each file. For example::
4251
4252
$ bzr status --short
4253
A foo
4254
A bar
4255
D baz
4256
? wooley
4257
4258
* 'bzr selftest --clean-output' allows easily clean temporary tests
4259
directories without running tests. (Alexander Belchenko)
4260
4261
* ``bzr help hidden-commands`` lists all hidden commands. (Aaron Bentley)
4262
4263
* ``bzr merge`` now has an option ``--pull`` to fall back to pull if
4264
local is fully merged into remote. (Jan Hudec)
4265
4266
* ``bzr help formats`` describes available directory formats. (Aaron Bentley)
4267
4268
INTERNALS:
4269
4270
* A few tweaks directly to ``fileids_affected_by_revision_ids`` to
4271
help speed up processing, as well allowing to extract unannotated
4272
lines. Between the two ``fileids_affected_by_revision_ids`` is
4273
improved by approx 10%. (John Arbash Meinel)
4274
4275
* Change Revision serialization to only write out millisecond
4276
resolution. Rather than expecting floating point serialization to
4277
preserve more resolution than we need. (Henri Weichers, Martin Pool)
4278
4279
* Test suite ends cleanly on Windows. (Vincent Ladeuil)
4280
4281
* When ``encoding_type`` attribute of class Command is equal to 'exact',
4282
force sys.stdout to be a binary stream on Windows, and therefore
4283
keep exact line-endings (without LF -> CRLF conversion).
4284
(Alexander Belchenko)
4285
4286
* Single-letter short options are no longer globally declared. (Martin
4287
Pool)
4288
4289
* Before using detected user/terminal encoding bzr should check
4290
that Python has corresponding codec. (Alexander Belchenko)
4291
4292
* Formats for end-user selection are provided via a FormatRegistry (Aaron Bentley)
4293
4294
BUG FIXES:
4295
4296
* ``bzr missing --verbose`` was showing adds/removals in the wrong
4297
direction. (John Arbash Meinel)
4298
4299
* ``bzr annotate`` now defaults to showing dotted revnos for merged
4300
revisions. It cuts them off at a depth of 12 characters, but you can
4301
supply ``--long`` to see the full number. You can also use
4302
``--show-ids`` to display the original revision ids, rather than
4303
revision numbers and committer names. (John Arbash Meinel, #75637)
4304
4305
* bzr now supports Win32 UNC path (e.g. ``\HOST\path``.
4306
(Alexander Belchenko, #57869)
4307
4308
* Win32-specific: output of cat, bundle and diff commands don't mangle
4309
line-endings (Alexander Belchenko, #55276)
4310
4311
* Replace broken fnmatch based ignore pattern matching with custom pattern
4312
matcher.
4313
(Kent Gibson, Jan Hudec #57637)
4314
4315
* pycurl and urllib can detect short reads at different places. Update
4316
the test suite to test more cases. Also detect http error code 416
4317
which was raised for that specific bug. Also enhance the urllib
4318
robustness by detecting invalid ranges (and pycurl's one by detecting
4319
short reads during the initial GET). (Vincent Ladeuil, #73948)
4320
4321
* The urllib connection sharing interacts badly with urllib2
4322
proxy setting (the connections didn't go thru the proxy
4323
anymore). Defining a proper ProxyHandler solves the
4324
problem. (Vincent Ladeuil, #74759)
4325
4326
* Use urlutils to generate relative URLs, not osutils
4327
(Aaron Bentley, #76229)
4328
4329
* ``bzr status`` in a readonly directory should work without giving
4330
lots of errors. (John Arbash Meinel, #76299)
4331
4332
* Mention the revisionspec topic for the revision option help.
4333
(Wouter van Heyst, #31663)
4334
4335
* Allow plugins import from zip archives.

4347
IMPROVEMENTS:
4348
4349
* New command ``bzr remove-tree`` allows the removal of the working
4350
tree from a branch.
4351
(Daniel Silverstone)
4352
4353
* urllib uses shared keep-alive connections, so http
4354
operations are substantially faster.
4355
(Vincent Ladeuil, #53654)
4356
4357
* ``bzr export`` allows an optional branch parameter, to export a bzr
4358
tree from some other url. For example:
4359
``bzr export bzr.tar.gz http://bazaar-vcs.org/bzr/bzr.dev``
4360
(Daniel Silverstone)
4361
4362
* Added ``bzr help topics`` to the bzr help system. This gives a
4363
location for general information, outside of a specific command.
4364
This includes updates for ``bzr help revisionspec`` the first topic
4365
included. (Goffredo Baroncelli, John Arbash Meinel, #42714)
4366
4367
* WSGI-compatible HTTP smart server. See ``doc/http_smart_server.txt``.
4368
(Andrew Bennetts)
4369
4370
* Knit files will now cache full texts only when the size of the
4371
deltas is as large as the size of the fulltext. (Or after 200
4372
deltas, whichever comes first). This has the most benefit on large
4373
files with small changes, such as the inventory for a large project.
4374
(eg For a project with 2500 files, and 7500 revisions, it changes
4375
the size of inventory.knit from 11MB to 5.4MB) (John Arbash Meinel)
4376
4377
INTERNALS:
4378
4379
* New -D option given before the command line turns on debugging output
4380
for particular areas. -Derror shows tracebacks on all errors.
4381
(Martin Pool)
4382
4383
* Clean up ``bzr selftest --benchmark bundle`` to correct an import,
4384
and remove benchmarks that take longer than 10min to run.
4385
(John Arbash Meinel)
4386
4387
* Use ``time.time()`` instead of ``time.clock()`` to decide on
4388
progress throttling. Because ``time.clock()`` is actually CPU time,
4389
so over a high-latency connection, too many updates get throttled.
4390
(John Arbash Meinel)
4391
4392
* ``MemoryTransport.list_dir()`` would strip the first character for
4393
files or directories in root directory. (John Arbash Meinel)
4394
4395
* New method ``get_branch_reference`` on 'BzrDir' allows the detection of
4396
branch references - which the smart server component needs.
4397
4398
* New ``ChrootTransportDecorator``, accessible via the ``chroot+`` url
4399
prefix. It disallows any access to locations above a set URL. (Andrew
4400
Bennetts)
4401
4402
BUG FIXES:
4403
4404
* Now ``_KnitIndex`` properly decode revision ids when loading index data.
4405
And optimize the knit index parsing code.
4406
(Dmitry Vasiliev, John Arbash Meinel)
4407
4408
* ``bzrlib/bzrdir.py`` was directly referencing ``bzrlib.workingtree``,
4409
without importing it. This prevented ``bzr upgrade`` from working
4410
unless a plugin already imported ``bzrlib.workingtree``
4411
(John Arbash Meinel, #70716)
4412
4413
* Suppress the traceback on invalid URLs (Vincent Ladeuil, #70803).
4414
4415
* Give nicer error message when an http server returns a 403
4416
error code. (Vincent Ladeuil, #57644).
4417
4418
* When a multi-range http GET request fails, try a single
4419
range one. If it fails too, forget about ranges. Remember that until
4420
the death of the transport and propagates that to the clones.
4421
(Vincent Ladeuil, #62276, #62029).
4422
4423
* Handles user/passwords supplied in url from command
4424
line (for the urllib implementation). Don't request already
4425
known passwords (Vincent Ladeuil, #42383, #44647, #48527)
4426
4427
* ``_KnitIndex.add_versions()`` dictionary compresses revision ids as they
4428
are added. This fixes bug where fetching remote revisions records
4429
them as full references rather than integers.
4430
(John Arbash Meinel, #64789)
4431
4432
* ``bzr ignore`` strips trailing slashes in patterns.
4433
Also ``bzr ignore`` rejects absolute paths. (Kent Gibson, #4559)
4434
4435
* ``bzr ignore`` takes multiple arguments. (Cheuksan Edward Wang, #29488)
4436
4437
* mv correctly handles paths that traverse symlinks.
4438
(Aaron Bentley, #66964)
4439
4440
* Give nicer looking error messages when failing to connect over ssh.
4441
(John Arbash Meinel, #49172)
4442
4443
* Pushing to a remote branch does not currently update the remote working
4444
tree. After a remote push, ``bzr status`` and ``bzr diff`` on the remote
4445
machine now show that the working tree is out of date.
4446
(Cheuksan Edward Wang #48136)
4447
4448
* Use patiencediff instead of difflib for determining deltas to insert
4449
into knits. This avoids the O(N^3) behavior of difflib. Patience
4450
diff should be O(N^2). (Cheuksan Edward Wang, #65714)
4451
4452
* Running ``bzr log`` on nonexistent file gives an error instead of the
4453
entire log history. (Cheuksan Edward Wang #50793)
4454
4455
* ``bzr cat`` can look up contents of removed or renamed files. If the
4456
pathname is ambiguous, i.e. the files in the old and new trees have
4457
different id's, the default is the file in the new tree. The user can
4458
use "--name-from-revision" to select the file in the old tree.
4459
(Cheuksan Edward Wang, #30190)
4460
4461
TESTING:
4462
4463
* TestingHTTPRequestHandler really handles the Range header
4464
(previously it was ignoring it and returning the whole file,).

4467
--------------------
4468
4469
INTERNALS:
4470
4471
* Clean up ``bzr selftest --benchmark bundle`` to correct an import,

and remove benchmarks that take longer than 10min to run.
4473
(John Arbash Meinel)
4474
4475
bzr 0.12rc1 2006-10-23
4476
-----------------------
4477
4478
IMPROVEMENTS:
4479
4480
* ``bzr log`` now shows dotted-decimal revision numbers for all revisions,
4481
rather than just showing a decimal revision number for revisions on the
4482
mainline. These revision numbers are not yet accepted as input into bzr
4483
commands such as log, diff etc. (Robert Collins)
4484
4485
* revisions can now be specified using dotted-decimal revision numbers.
4486
For instance, ``bzr diff -r 1.2.1..1.2.3``. (Robert Collins)
4487
4488
* ``bzr help commands`` output is now shorter (Aaron Bentley)
4489
4490
* ``bzr`` now uses lazy importing to reduce the startup time. This has
4491
a moderate effect on lots of actions, especially ones that have
4492
little to do. For example ``bzr rocks`` time is down to 116ms from
4493
283ms. (John Arbash Meinel)
4494
4495
* New Registry class to provide name-to-object registry-like support,
4496
for example for schemes where plugins can register new classes to
4497
do certain tasks (e.g. log formatters). Also provides lazy registration
4498
to allow modules to be loaded on request.
4499
(John Arbash Meinel, Adeodato Simó)
4500
4501
API INCOMPATABILITY:
4502
4503
* LogFormatter subclasses show now expect the 'revno' parameter to
4504
show() to be a string rather than an int. (Robert Collins)
4505
4506
INTERNALS:
4507
4508
* ``TestCase.run_bzr``, ``run_bzr_captured``, and ``run_bzr_subprocess``
4509
can take a ``working_dir='foo'`` parameter, which will change directory
4510
for the command. (John Arbash Meinel)
4511
4512
* ``bzrlib.lazy_regex.lazy_compile`` can be used to create a proxy
4513
around a regex, which defers compilation until first use.
4514
(John Arbash Meinel)
4515
4516
* ``TestCase.run_bzr_subprocess`` defaults to supplying the
4517
``--no-plugins`` parameter to ensure test reproducability, and avoid
4518
problems with system-wide installed plugins. (John Arbash Meinel)
4519
4520
* Unique tree root ids are now supported. Newly created trees still
4521
use the common root id for compatibility with bzr versions before 0.12.
4522
(Aaron Bentley)
4523
4524
* ``WorkingTree.set_root_id(None)`` is now deprecated. Please
4525
pass in ``inventory.ROOT_ID`` if you want the default root id value.
4526
(Robert Collins, John Arbash Meinel)
4527
4528
* New method ``WorkingTree.flush()`` which will write the current memory
4529
inventory out to disk. At the same time, ``read_working_inventory`` will
4530
no longer trash the current tree inventory if it has been modified within
4531
the current lock, and the tree will now ``flush()`` automatically on
4532
``unlock()``. ``WorkingTree.set_root_id()`` has been updated to take
4533
advantage of this functionality. (Robert Collins, John Arbash Meinel)
4534
4535
* ``bzrlib.tsort.merge_sorted`` now accepts ``generate_revnos``. This
4536
parameter will cause it to add another column to its output, which
4537
contains the dotted-decimal revno for each revision, as a tuple.
4538
(Robert Collins)
4539
4540
* ``LogFormatter.show_merge`` is deprecated in favour of
4541
``LogFormatter.show_merge_revno``. (Robert Collins)
4542
4543
BUG FIXES:
4544
4545
* Avoid circular imports by creating a deprecated function for
4546
``bzrlib.tree.RevisionTree``. Callers should have been using
4547
``bzrlib.revisontree.RevisionTree`` anyway. (John Arbash Meinel,
4548
#63360, #66349)
4549
4550
* Don't use ``socket.MSG_WAITALL`` as it doesn't exist on all
4551
platforms. (Martin Pool, #66356)
4552
4553
* Don't require ``Content-Type`` in range responses. Assume they are a
4554
single range if ``Content-Type`` does not exist.
4555
(John Arbash Meinel, #62473)
4556
4557
* bzr branch/pull no longer complain about progress bar cleanup when
4558
interrupted during fetch. (Aaron Bentley, #54000)
4559
4560
* ``WorkingTree.set_parent_trees()`` uses the trees to directly write
4561
the basis inventory, rather than going through the repository. This
4562
allows us to have 1 inventory read, and 2 inventory writes when
4563
committing a new tree. (John Arbash Meinel)
4564
4565
* When reverting, files that are not locally modified that do not exist
4566
in the target are deleted, not just unversioned (Aaron Bentley)
4567
4568
* When trying to acquire a lock, don't fail immediately. Instead, try
4569
a few times (up to 1 hour) before timing out. Also, report why the
4570
lock is unavailable (John Arbash Meinel, #43521, #49556)
4571
4572
* Leave HttpTransportBase daughter classes decides how they
4573
implement cloning. (Vincent Ladeuil, #61606)
4574
4575
* diff3 does not indicate conflicts on clean merge. (Aaron Bentley)
4576
4577
* If a commit fails, the commit message is stored in a file at the root of
4578
the tree for later commit. (Cheuksan Edward Wang, Stefan Metzmacher,
4579
#32054)
4580
4581
TESTING:
4582
4583
* New test base class TestCaseWithMemoryTransport offers memory-only
4584
testing facilities: its not suitable for tests that need to mutate disk
4585
state, but most tests should not need that and should be converted to
4586
TestCaseWithMemoryTransport. (Robert Collins)
4587
4588
* ``TestCase.make_branch_and_memory_tree`` now takes a format
4589
option to set the BzrDir, Repository and Branch formats of the
4590
created objects. (Robert Collins, John Arbash Meinel)

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

bzr 0.8 2006-05-08
5191
-------------------
5192
5193
NOTES WHEN UPGRADING:
5194
5195
Release 0.8 of bzr introduces a new format for history storage, called
5196
'knit', as an evolution of to the 'weave' format used in 0.7. Local
5197
and remote operations are faster using knits than weaves. Several
5198
operations including 'init', 'init-repo', and 'upgrade' take a
5199
--format option that controls this. Branching from an existing branch
5200
will keep the same format.
5201
5202
It is possible to merge, pull and push between branches of different
5203
formats but this is slower than moving data between homogenous
5204
branches. It is therefore recommended (but not required) that you
5205
upgrade all branches for a project at the same time. Information on
5206
formats is shown by 'bzr info'.
5207
5208
bzr 0.8 now allows creation of 'repositories', which hold the history
5209
of files and revisions for several branches. Previously bzr kept all
5210
the history for a branch within the .bzr directory at the root of the
5211
branch, and this is still the default. To create a repository, use
5212
the new 'bzr init-repo' command. Branches exist as directories under
5213
the repository and contain just a small amount of information
5214
indicating the current revision of the branch.
5215
5216
bzr 0.8 also supports 'checkouts', which are similar to in cvs and
5217
subversion. Checkouts are associated with a branch (optionally in a
5218
repository), which contains all the historical information. The
5219
result is that a checkout can be deleted without losing any
5220
already-committed revisions. A new 'update' command is also available.
5221
5222
Repositories and checkouts are not supported with the 0.7 storage
5223
format. To use them you must upgrad to either knits, or to the
5224
'metaweave' format, which uses weaves but changes the .bzr directory
5225
arrangement.
5226
5227
5228
IMPROVEMENTS:
5229
5230
* Sftp paths can now be relative, or local, according to the lftp
5231
convention. Paths now take the form::
5232
5233
sftp://user:pass@host:port/~/relative/path
5234
or
5235
sftp://user:pass@host:port/absolute/path
5236
5237
* The FTP transport now tries to reconnect after a temporary
5238
failure. ftp put is made atomic. (Matthieu Moy)
5239
5240
* The FTP transport now maintains a pool of connections, and
5241
reuses them to avoid multiple connections to the same host (like
5242
sftp did). (Daniel Silverstone)
5243
5244
* The ``bzr_man.py`` file has been removed. To create the man page now,
5245
use ``./generate_docs.py man``. The new program can also create other files.
5246
Run ``python generate_docs.py --help`` for usage information.
5247
(Hans Ulrich Niedermann & James Blackwell).
5248
5249
* Man Page now gives full help (James Blackwell).
5250
Help also updated to reflect user config now being stored in .bazaar
5251
(Hans Ulrich Niedermann)
5252
5253
* It's now possible to set aliases in bazaar.conf (Erik Bågfors)
5254
5255
* Pull now accepts a --revision argument (Erik Bågfors)
5256
5257
* ``bzr re-sign`` now allows multiple revisions to be supplied on the command
5258
line. You can now use the following command to sign all of your old
5259
commits::
5260
5261
find .bzr/revision-store// -name my@email-* \
5262
| sed 's/.*\/\/..\///' \
5263
| xargs bzr re-sign
5264
5265
* Upgrade can now upgrade over the network. (Robert Collins)
5266
5267
* Two new commands 'bzr checkout' and 'bzr update' allow for CVS/SVN-alike
5268
behaviour. By default they will cache history in the checkout, but
5269
with --lightweight almost all data is kept in the master branch.
5270
(Robert Collins)
5271
5272
* 'revert' unversions newly-versioned files, instead of deleting them.
5273
5274
* 'merge' is more robust. Conflict messages have changed.
5275
5276
* 'merge' and 'revert' no longer clobber existing files that end in '~' or
5277
'.moved'.
5278
5279
* Default log format can be set in configuration and plugins can register
5280
their own formatters. (Erik Bågfors)
5281
5282
* New 'reconcile' command will check branch consistency and repair indexes
5283
that can become out of sync in pre 0.8 formats. (Robert Collins,
5284
Daniel Silverstone)
5285
5286
* New 'bzr init --format' and 'bzr upgrade --format' option to control
5287
what storage format is created or produced. (Robert Collins,
5288
Martin Pool)
5289
5290
* Add parent location to 'bzr info', if there is one. (Olaf Conradi)
5291
5292
* New developer commands 'weave-list' and 'weave-join'. (Martin Pool)
5293
5294
* New 'init-repository' command, plus support for repositories in 'init'
5295
and 'branch' (Aaron Bentley, Erik Bågfors, Robert Collins)
5296
5297
* Improve output of 'info' command. Show all relevant locations related to
5298
working tree, branch and repository. Use kibibytes for binary quantities.
5299
Fix off-by-one error in missing revisions of working tree. Make 'info'
5300
work on branches, repositories and remote locations. Show locations
5301
relative to the shared repository, if applicable. Show locking status
5302
of locations. (Olaf Conradi)
5303
5304
* Diff and merge now safely handle binary files. (Aaron Bentley)
5305
5306
* 'pull' and 'push' now normalise the revision history, so that any two
5307
branches with the same tip revision will have the same output from 'log'.
5308
(Robert Collins)
5309
5310
* 'merge' accepts --remember option to store parent location, like 'push'
5311
and 'pull'. (Olaf Conradi)
5312
5313
* bzr status and diff when files given as arguments do not exist
5314
in the relevant trees. (Martin Pool, #3619)
5315
5316
* Add '.hg' to the default ignore list. (Martin Pool)
5317
5318
* 'knit' is now the default disk format. This improves disk performance and
5319
utilization, increases incremental pull performance, robustness with SFTP
5320
and allows checkouts over SFTP to perform acceptably.
5321
The initial Knit code was contributed by Johan Rydberg based on a
5322
specification by Martin Pool.
5323
(Robert Collins, Aaron Bentley, Johan Rydberg, Martin Pool).
5324
5325
* New tool to generate all-in-one html version of the manual. (Alexander
5326
Belchenko)
5327
5328
* Hitting CTRL-C while doing an SFTP push will no longer cause stale locks
5329
to be left in the SFTP repository. (Robert Collins, Martin Pool).
5330
5331
* New option 'diff --prefix' to control how files are named in diff
5332
output, with shortcuts '-p0' and '-p1' corresponding to the options for
5333
GNU patch. (Alexander Belchenko, Goffredo Baroncelli, Martin Pool)
5334
5335
* Add --revision option to 'annotate' command. (Olaf Conradi)
5336
5337
* If bzr shows an unexpected revision-history after pulling (perhaps due
5338
to a reweave) it can now be corrected by 'bzr reconcile'.
5339
(Robert Collins)
5340
5341
CHANGES:
5342
5343
* Commit is now verbose by default, and shows changed filenames and the
5344
new revision number. (Robert Collins, Martin Pool)
5345
5346
* Unify 'mv', 'move', 'rename'. (Matthew Fuller, #5379)
5347
5348
* 'bzr -h' shows help. (Martin Pool, Ian Bicking, #35940)
5349
5350
* Make 'pull' and 'push' remember location on failure using --remember.
5351
(Olaf Conradi)
5352
5353
* For compatibility, make old format for using weaves inside metadir
5354
available as 'metaweave' format. Rename format 'metadir' to 'default'.
5355
Clean up help for option --format in commands 'init', 'init-repo' and
5356
'upgrade'. (Olaf Conradi)
5357
5358
INTERNALS:
5359
5360
* The internal storage of history, and logical branch identity have now
5361
been split into Branch, and Repository. The common locking and file
5362
management routines are now in bzrlib.lockablefiles.
5363
(Aaron Bentley, Robert Collins, Martin Pool)
5364
5365
* Transports can now raise DependencyNotPresent if they need a library
5366
which is not installed, and then another implementation will be
5367
tried. (Martin Pool)
5368
5369
* Remove obsolete (and no-op) `decode` parameter to `Transport.get`.
5370
(Martin Pool)
5371
5372
* Using Tree Transform for merge, revert, tree-building
5373
5374
* WorkingTree.create, Branch.create, ``WorkingTree.create_standalone``,
5375
Branch.initialize are now deprecated. Please see ``BzrDir.create_*`` for
5376
replacement API's. (Robert Collins)
5377
5378
* New BzrDir class represents the .bzr control directory and manages
5379
formatting issues. (Robert Collins)
5380
5381
* New repository.InterRepository class encapsulates Repository to
5382
Repository actions and allows for clean selection of optimised code
5383
paths. (Robert Collins)
5384
5385
* ``bzrlib.fetch.fetch`` and ``bzrlib.fetch.greedy_fetch`` are now
5386
deprecated, please use ``branch.fetch`` or ``repository.fetch``
5387
depending on your needs. (Robert Collins)
5388
5389
* deprecated methods now have a ``is_deprecated`` flag on them that can
5390
be checked, if you need to determine whether a given callable is
5391
deprecated at runtime. (Robert Collins)
5392
5393
* Progress bars are now nested - see
5394
``bzrlib.ui.ui_factory.nested_progress_bar``.
5395
(Robert Collins, Robey Pointer)
5396
5397
* New API call ``get_format_description()`` for each type of format.
5398
(Olaf Conradi)
5399
5400
* Changed ``branch.set_parent()`` to accept None to remove parent.
5401
(Olaf Conradi)
5402
5403
* Deprecated BzrError AmbiguousBase. (Olaf Conradi)
5404
5405
* WorkingTree.branch is now a read only property. (Robert Collins)
5406
5407
* bzrlib.ui.text.TextUIFactory now accepts a ``bar_type`` parameter which
5408
can be None or a factory that will create a progress bar. This is
5409
useful for testing or for overriding the bzrlib.progress heuristic.
5410
(Robert Collins)
5411
5412
* New API method ``get_physical_lock_status()`` to query locks present on a
5413
transport. (Olaf Conradi)
5414
5415
* Repository.reconcile now takes a thorough keyword parameter to allow
5416
requesting an indepth reconciliation, rather than just a data-loss
5417
check. (Robert Collins)
5418
5419
* ``bzrlib.ui.ui_factory protocol`` now supports ``get_boolean`` to prompt
5420
the user for yes/no style input. (Robert Collins)
5421
5422
TESTING:
5423
5424
* SFTP tests now shortcut the SSH negotiation, reducing test overhead
5425
for testing SFTP protocol support. (Robey Pointer)
5426
5427
* Branch formats are now tested once per implementation (see ``bzrlib.
5428
tests.branch_implementations``. This is analagous to the transport
5429
interface tests, and has been followed up with working tree,
5430
repository and BzrDir tests. (Robert Collins)
5431
5432
* New test base class TestCaseWithTransport provides a transport aware
5433
test environment, useful for testing any transport-interface using
5434
code. The test suite option --transport controls the transport used
5435
by this class (when its not being used as part of implementation
5436
contract testing). (Robert Collins)
5437
5438
* Close logging handler on disabling the test log. This will remove the
5439
handler from the internal list inside python's logging module,
5440
preventing shutdown from closing it twice. (Olaf Conradi)
5441
5442
* Move test case for uncommit to blackbox tests. (Olaf Conradi)
5443
5444
* ``run_bzr`` and ``run_bzr_captured`` now accept a 'stdin="foo"'
5445
parameter which will provide String("foo") to the command as its stdin.

5450
CHANGES:
5451
5452
* .bzrignore is excluded from exports, on the grounds that it's a bzr
5453
internal-use file and may not be wanted. (Jamie Wilkinson)
5454
5455
* The "bzr directories" command were removed in favor of the new
5456
--kind option to the "bzr inventory" command. To list all
5457
versioned directories, now use "bzr inventory --kind directory".
5458
(Johan Rydberg)
5459
5460
* Under Windows configuration directory is now ``%APPDATA%\bazaar\2.0``
5461
by default. (John Arbash Meinel)
5462
5463
* The parent of Bzr configuration directory can be set by ``BZR_HOME``
5464
environment variable. Now the path for it is searched in ``BZR_HOME``,
5465
then in HOME. Under Windows the order is: ``BZR_HOME``, ``APPDATA``
5466
(usually points to ``C:\Documents and Settings\User Name\Application Data``),
5467
``HOME``. (John Arbash Meinel)
5468
5469
* Plugins with the same name in different directories in the bzr plugin
5470
path are no longer loaded: only the first successfully loaded one is
5471
used. (Robert Collins)
5472
5473
* Use systems' external ssh command to open connections if possible.
5474
This gives better integration with user settings such as ProxyCommand.
5475
(James Henstridge)
5476
5477
* Permissions on files underneath .bzr/ are inherited from the .bzr
5478
directory. So for a shared repository, simply doing 'chmod -R g+w .bzr/'
5479
will mean that future file will be created with group write permissions.
5480
5481
* configure.in and config.guess are no longer in the builtin default
5482
ignore list.
5483
5484
* '.sw[nop]' pattern ignored, to ignore vim swap files for nameless
5485
files. (John Arbash Meinel, Martin Pool)

5489
* "bzr INIT dir" now initializes the specified directory, and creates
5490
it if it does not exist. (John Arbash Meinel)
5491
5492
* New remerge command (Aaron Bentley)
5493
5494
* Better zsh completion script. (Steve Borho)
5495
5496
* 'bzr diff' now returns 1 when there are changes in the working
5497
tree. (Robert Collins)
5498
5499
* 'bzr push' now exists and can push changes to a remote location.
5500
This uses the transport infrastructure, and can store the remote
5501
location in the ~/.bazaar/branches.conf configuration file.
5502
(Robert Collins)
5503
5504
* Test directories are only kept if the test fails and the user requests
5505
that they be kept.
5506
5507
* Tweaks to short log printing
5508
5509
* Added branch nicks, new nick command, printing them in log output.
5510
(Aaron Bentley)
5511
5512
* If ``$BZR_PDB`` is set, pop into the debugger when an uncaught exception
5513
occurs. (Martin Pool)
5514
5515
* Accept 'bzr resolved' (an alias for 'bzr resolve'), as this is
5516
the same as Subversion. (Martin Pool)
5517
5518
* New ftp transport support (on ftplib), for ftp:// and aftp://
5519
URLs. (Daniel Silverstone)
5520
5521
* Commit editor temporary files now start with ``bzr_log.``, to allow
5522
text editors to match the file name and set up appropriate modes or
5523
settings. (Magnus Therning)
5524
5525
* Improved performance when integrating changes from a remote weave.
5526
(Goffredo Baroncelli)
5527
5528
* Sftp will attempt to cache the connection, so it is more likely that
5529
a connection will be reused, rather than requiring multiple password
5530
requests.
5531
5532
* bzr revno now takes an optional argument indicating the branch whose
5533
revno should be printed. (Michael Ellerman)
5534
5535
* bzr cat defaults to printing the last version of the file.
5536
(Matthieu Moy, #3632)
5537
5538
* New global option 'bzr --lsprof COMMAND' runs bzr under the lsprof
5539
profiler. (Denys Duchier)
5540
5541
* Faster commits by reading only the headers of affected weave files.
5542
(Denys Duchier)
5543
5544
* 'bzr add' now takes a --dry-run parameter which shows you what would be
5545
added, but doesn't actually add anything. (Michael Ellerman)
5546
5547
* 'bzr add' now lists how many files were ignored per glob. add --verbose
5548
lists the specific files. (Aaron Bentley)
5549
5550
* 'bzr missing' now supports displaying changes in diverged trees and can
5551
be limited to show what either end of the comparison is missing.
5552
(Aaron Bently, with a little prompting from Daniel Silverstone)
5553
5554
BUG FIXES:
5555
5556
* SFTP can walk up to the root path without index errors. (Robert Collins)
5557
5558
* Fix bugs in running bzr with 'python -O'. (Martin Pool)
5559
5560
* Error when run with -OO
5561
5562
* Fix bug in reporting http errors that don't have an http error code.
5563
(Martin Pool)
5564
5565
* Handle more cases of pipe errors in display commands
5566
5567
* Change status to 3 for all errors
5568
5569
* Files that are added and unlinked before committing are completely
5570
ignored by diff and status
5571
5572
* Stores with some compressed texts and some uncompressed texts are now
5573
able to be used. (John A Meinel)
5574
5575
* Fix for bzr pull failing sometimes under windows
5576
5577
* Fix for sftp transport under windows when using interactive auth
5578
5579
* Show files which are both renamed and modified as such in 'bzr
5580
status' output. (Daniel Silverstone, #4503)
5581
5582
* Make annotate cope better with revisions committed without a valid
5583
email address. (Marien Zwart)
5584
5585
* Fix representation of tab characters in commit messages.
5586
(Harald Meland)
5587
5588
* List of plugin directories in ``BZR_PLUGIN_PATH`` environment variable is
5589
now parsed properly under Windows. (Alexander Belchenko)
5590
5591
* Show number of revisions pushed/pulled/merged. (Robey Pointer)
5592
5593
* Keep a cached copy of the basis inventory to speed up operations
5594
that need to refer to it. (Johan Rydberg, Martin Pool)
5595
5596
* Fix bugs in bzr status display of non-ascii characters.
5597
(Martin Pool)
5598
5599
* Remove Makefile.in from default ignore list.
5600
(Tollef Fog Heen, Martin Pool, #6413)
5601
5602
* Fix failure in 'bzr added'. (Nathan McCallum, Martin Pool)
5603
5604
TESTING:
5605
5606
* Fix selftest asking for passwords when there are no SFTP keys.
5607
(Robey Pointer, Jelmer Vernooij)
5608
5609
* Fix selftest run with 'python -O'. (Martin Pool)
5610
5611
* Fix HTTP tests under Windows. (John Arbash Meinel)
5612
5613
* Make tests work even if HOME is not set (Aaron Bentley)
5614
5615
* Updated ``build_tree`` to use fixed line-endings for tests which read
5616
the file cotents and compare. Make some tests use this to pass under
5617
Windows. (John Arbash Meinel)
5618
5619
* Skip stat and symlink tests under Windows. (Alexander Belchenko)
5620
5621
* Delay in selftest/testhashcash is now issued under win32 and Cygwin.
5622
(John Arbash Meinel)
5623
5624
* Use terminal width to align verbose test output. (Martin Pool)
5625
5626
* Blackbox tests are maintained within the bzrlib.tests.blackbox directory.
5627
If adding a new test script please add that to
5628
``bzrlib.tests.blackbox.__init__``. (Robert Collins)
5629
5630
* Much better error message if one of the test suites can't be
5631
imported. (Martin Pool)
5632
5633
* Make check now runs the test suite twice - once with the default locale,
5634
and once with all locales forced to C, to expose bugs. This is not
5635
trivially done within python, so for now its only triggered by running
5636
Make check. Integrators and packagers who wish to check for full
5637
platform support should run 'make check' to test the source.
5638
(Robert Collins)
5639
5640
* Tests can now run TestSkipped if they can't execute for any reason.
5641
(Martin Pool) (NB: TestSkipped should only be raised for correctable
5642
reasons - see the wiki spec ImprovingBzrTestSuite).
5643
5644
* Test sftp with relative, absolute-in-homedir and absolute-not-in-homedir
5645
paths for the transport tests. Introduce blackbox remote sftp tests that
5646
test the same permutations. (Robert Collins, Robey Pointer)
5647
5648
* Transport implementation tests are now independent of the local file
5649
system, which allows tests for esoteric transports, and for features
5650
not available in the local file system. They also repeat for variations
5651
on the URL scheme that can introduce issues in the transport code,
5652
see bzrlib.transport.TransportTestProviderAdapter() for this.
5653
(Robert Collins).
5654
5655
* ``TestCase.build_tree`` uses the transport interface to build trees,
5656
pass in a transport parameter to give it an existing connection.
5657
(Robert Collins).
5658
5659
INTERNALS:
5660
5661
* WorkingTree.pull has been split across Branch and WorkingTree,
5662
to allow Branch only pulls. (Robert Collins)
5663
5664
* ``commands.display_command`` now returns the result of the decorated
5665
function. (Robert Collins)
5666
5667
* LocationConfig now has a ``set_user_option(key, value)`` call to save
5668
a setting in its matching location section (a new one is created
5669
if needed). (Robert Collins)
5670
5671
* Branch has two new methods, ``get_push_location`` and
5672
``set_push_location`` to respectively, get and set the push location.
5673
(Robert Collins)
5674
5675
* ``commands.register_command`` now takes an optional flag to signal that
5676
the registrant is planning to decorate an existing command. When
5677
given multiple plugins registering a command is not an error, and
5678
the original command class (whether built in or a plugin based one) is
5679
returned to the caller. There is a new error 'MustUseDecorated' for
5680
signalling when a wrapping command should switch to the original
5681
version. (Robert Collins)
5682
5683
* Some option parsing errors will raise 'BzrOptionError', allowing
5684
granular detection for decorating commands. (Robert Collins).
5685
5686
* ``Branch.read_working_inventory`` has moved to
5687
``WorkingTree.read_working_inventory``. This necessitated changes to
5688
``Branch.get_root_id``, and a move of ``Branch.set_inventory`` to
5689
WorkingTree as well. To make it clear that a WorkingTree cannot always
5690
be obtained ``Branch.working_tree()`` will raise
5691
``errors.NoWorkingTree`` if one cannot be obtained. (Robert Collins)
5692
5693
* All pending merges operations from Branch are now on WorkingTree.
5694
(Robert Collins)
5695
5696
* The follow operations from Branch have moved to WorkingTree::
5697
5698
add()
5699
commit()
5700
move()
5701
rename_one()
5702
unknowns()
5703
5704
(Robert Collins)
5705
5706
* ``bzrlib.add.smart_add_branch`` is now ``smart_add_tree``. (Robert Collins)
5707
5708
* New "rio" serialization format, similar to rfc-822. (Martin Pool)
5709
5710
* Rename selftests to ``bzrlib.tests.test_foo``. (John A Meinel, Martin
5711
Pool)
5712
5713
* ``bzrlib.plugin.all_plugins`` has been changed from an attribute to a
5714
query method. (Robert Collins)
5715
5716
* New options to read only the table-of-contents of a weave.
5717
(Denys Duchier)
5718
5719
* Raise NoSuchFile when someone tries to add a non-existant file.
5720
(Michael Ellerman)
5721
5722
* Simplify handling of DivergedBranches in ``cmd_pull()``.
5723
(Michael Ellerman)
5724
5725
* Branch.controlfile* logic has moved to lockablefiles.LockableFiles, which
5726
is exposed as ``Branch().control_files``. Also this has been altered with the
5727
controlfile pre/suffix replaced by simple method names like 'get' and
5728
'put'. (Aaron Bentley, Robert Collins).
5729
5730
* Deprecated functions and methods can now be marked as such using the
5731
``bzrlib.symbol_versioning`` module. Marked method have their docstring
5732
updated and will issue a DeprecationWarning using the warnings module
5733
when they are used. (Robert Collins)
5734
5735
* ``bzrlib.osutils.safe_unicode`` now exists to provide parameter coercion
5736
for functions that need unicode strings. (Robert Collins)
5737
5738
bzr 0.6 2005-10-28
5739
------------------
5740
5741
IMPROVEMENTS:
5742
5743
* pull now takes --verbose to show you what revisions are added or removed
5744
(John A Meinel)
5745
5746
* merge now takes a --show-base option to include the base text in
5747
conflicts.
5748
(Aaron Bentley)
5749
5750
* The config files are now read using ConfigObj, so '=' should be used as
5751
a separator, not ':'.
5752
(Aaron Bentley)
5753
5754
* New 'bzr commit --strict' option refuses to commit if there are
5755
any unknown files in the tree. To commit, make sure all files are
5756
either ignored, added, or deleted. (Michael Ellerman)
5757
5758
* The config directory is now ~/.bazaar, and there is a single file
5759
~/.bazaar/bazaar.conf storing email, editor and other preferences.
5760
(Robert Collins)
5761
5762
* 'bzr add' no longer takes a --verbose option, and a --quiet option
5763
has been added that suppresses all output.
5764
5765
* Improved zsh completion support in contrib/zsh, from Clint
5766
Adams.
5767
5768
* Builtin 'bzr annotate' command, by Martin Pool with improvements from
5769
Goffredo Baroncelli.
5770
5771
* 'bzr check' now accepts -v for verbose reporting, and checks for
5772
ghosts in the branch. (Robert Collins)
5773
5774
* New command 're-sign' which will regenerate the gpg signature for
5775
a revision. (Robert Collins)
5776
5777
* If you set ``check_signatures=require`` for a path in
5778
``~/.bazaar/branches.conf`` then bzr will invoke your
5779
``gpg_signing_command`` (defaults to gpg) and record a digital signature
5780
of your commit. (Robert Collins)
5781
5782
* New sftp transport, based on Paramiko. (Robey Pointer)
5783
5784
* 'bzr pull' now accepts '--clobber' which will discard local changes
5785
and make this branch identical to the source branch. (Robert Collins)
5786
5787
* Just give a quieter warning if a plugin can't be loaded, and
5788
put the details in .bzr.log. (Martin Pool)
5789
5790
* 'bzr branch' will now set the branch-name to the last component of the
5791
output directory, if one was supplied.
5792
5793
* If the option ``post_commit`` is set to one (or more) python function
5794
names (must be in the bzrlib namespace), then they will be invoked
5795
after the commit has completed, with the branch and ``revision_id`` as
5796
parameters. (Robert Collins)
5797
5798
* Merge now has a retcode of 1 when conflicts occur. (Robert Collins)
5799
5800
* --merge-type weave is now supported for file contents. Tree-shape
5801
changes are still three-way based. (Martin Pool, Aaron Bentley)
5802
5803
* 'bzr check' allows the first revision on revision-history to have
5804
parents - something that is expected for cheap checkouts, and occurs
5805
when conversions from baz do not have all history. (Robert Collins).
5806
5807
* 'bzr merge' can now graft unrelated trees together, if your specify
5808
0 as a base. (Aaron Bentley)
5809
5810
* 'bzr commit branch' and 'bzr commit branch/file1 branch/file2' now work
5811
(Aaron Bentley)
5812
5813
* Add '.sconsign*' to default ignore list. (Alexander Belchenko)
5814
5815
* 'bzr merge --reprocess' minimizes conflicts
5816
5817
TESTING:
5818
5819
* The 'bzr selftest --pattern' option for has been removed, now
5820
test specifiers on the command line can be simple strings, or
5821
regexps, or both. (Robert Collins)
5822
5823
* Passing -v to selftest will now show the time each test took to
5824
complete, which will aid in analysing performance regressions and
5825
related questions. (Robert Collins)
5826
5827
* 'bzr selftest' runs all tests, even if one fails, unless '--one'
5828
is given. (Martin Pool)
5829
5830
* There is a new method for TestCaseInTempDir, assertFileEqual, which
5831
will check that a given content is equal to the content of the named
5832
file. (Robert Collins)
5833
5834
* Fix test suite's habit of leaving many temporary log files in $TMPDIR.
5835
(Martin Pool)
5836
5837
INTERNALS:
5838
5839
* New 'testament' command and concept for making gpg-signatures
5840
of revisions that are not tied to a particular internal
5841
representation. (Martin Pool).
5842
5843
* Per-revision properties ('revprops') as key-value associated
5844
strings on each revision created when the revision is committed.
5845
Intended mainly for the use of external tools. (Martin Pool).
5846
5847
* Config options have moved from bzrlib.osutils to bzrlib.config.
5848
(Robert Collins)
5849
5850
* Improved command line option definitions allowing explanations
5851
for individual options, among other things. Contributed by
5852
Magnus Therning.
5853
5854
* Config options have moved from bzrlib.osutils to bzrlib.config.
5855
Configuration is now done via the config.Config interface:
5856
Depending on whether you have a Branch, a Location or no information
5857
available, construct a ``*Config``, and use its ``signature_checking``,
5858
``username`` and ``user_email`` methods. (Robert Collins)
5859
5860
* Plugins are now loaded under bzrlib.plugins, not bzrlib.plugin, and
5861
they are made available for other plugins to use. You should not
5862
import other plugins during the ``__init__`` of your plugin though, as
5863
no ordering is guaranteed, and the plugins directory is not on the
5864
python path. (Robert Collins)
5865
5866
* Branch.relpath has been moved to WorkingTree.relpath. WorkingTree no
5867
no longer takes an inventory, rather it takes an option branch
5868
parameter, and if None is given will open the branch at basedir
5869
implicitly. (Robert Collins)
5870
5871
* Cleaner exception structure and error reporting. Suggested by
5872
Scott James Remnant. (Martin Pool)
5873
5874
* Branch.remove has been moved to WorkingTree, which has also gained
5875
``lock_read``, ``lock_write`` and ``unlock`` methods for convenience.
5876
(Robert Collins)
5877
5878
* Two decorators, ``needs_read_lock`` and ``needs_write_lock`` have been
5879
added to the branch module. Use these to cause a function to run in a
5880
read or write lock respectively. (Robert Collins)
5881
5882
* ``Branch.open_containing`` now returns a tuple (Branch, relative-path),
5883
which allows direct access to the common case of 'get me this file
5884
from its branch'. (Robert Collins)
5885
5886
* Transports can register using ``register_lazy_transport``, and they
5887
will be loaded when first used. (Martin Pool)
5888
5889
* 'pull' has been factored out of the command as ``WorkingTree.pull()``.
5890
A new option to WorkingTree.pull has been added, clobber, which will
5891
ignore diverged history and pull anyway.
5892
(Robert Collins)
5893
5894
* config.Config has a ``get_user_option`` call that accepts an option name.
5895
This will be looked up in branches.conf and bazaar.conf as normal.
5896
It is intended that this be used by plugins to support options -
5897
options of built in programs should have specific methods on the config.
5898
(Robert Collins)
5899
5900
* ``merge.merge_inner`` now has tempdir as an optional parameter.
5901
(Robert Collins)
5902
5903
* Tree.kind is not recorded at the top level of the hierarchy, as it was
5904
missing on EmptyTree, leading to a bug with merge on EmptyTrees.
5905
(Robert Collins)
5906
5907
* ``WorkingTree.__del__`` has been removed, it was non deterministic and not
5908
doing what it was intended to. See ``WorkingTree.__init__`` for a comment
5909
about future directions. (Robert Collins/Martin Pool)
5910
5911
* bzrlib.transport.http has been modified so that only 404 urllib errors
5912
are returned as NoSuchFile. Other exceptions will propogate as normal.
5913
This allows debuging of actual errors. (Robert Collins)
5914
5915
* bzrlib.transport.Transport now accepts *ONLY* url escaped relative paths
5916
to apis like 'put', 'get' and 'has'. This is to provide consistent
5917
behaviour - it operates on url's only. (Robert Collins)
5918
5919
* Transports can register using ``register_lazy_transport``, and they
5920
will be loaded when first used. (Martin Pool)
5921
5922
* ``merge_flex`` no longer calls ``conflict_handler.finalize()``, instead that
5923
is called by ``merge_inner``. This is so that the conflict count can be
5924
retrieved (and potentially manipulated) before returning to the caller
5925
of ``merge_inner``. Likewise 'merge' now returns the conflict count to the
5926
caller. (Robert Collins)
5927
5928
* ``revision.revision_graph`` can handle having only partial history for
5929
a revision - that is no revisions in the graph with no parents.
5930
(Robert Collins).
5931
5932
* New ``builtins.branch_files`` uses the standard ``file_list`` rules to
5933
produce a branch and a list of paths, relative to that branch
5934
(Aaron Bentley)
5935
5936
* New TestCase.addCleanup facility.
5937
5938
* New ``bzrlib.version_info`` tuple (similar to ``sys.version_info``),
5939
which can be used by programs importing bzrlib.
5940
5941
BUG FIXES:
5942
5943
* Better handling of branches in directories with non-ascii names.
5944
(Joel Rosdahl, Panagiotis Papadakos)
5945
5946
* Upgrades of trees with no commits will not fail due to accessing
5947
[-1] in the revision-history. (Andres Salomon)

bzr 0.1.1 2005-10-12
5951
--------------------
5952
5953
BUG FIXES:
5954
5955
* Fix problem in pulling over http from machines that do not
5956
allow directories to be listed.
5957
5958
* Avoid harmless warning about invalid hash cache after
5959
upgrading branch format.
5960
5961
PERFORMANCE:
5962
5963
* Avoid some unnecessary http operations in branch and pull.

bzr 0.1 2005-10-11
5967
------------------
5968
5969
NOTES:
5970
5971
* 'bzr branch' over http initially gives a very high estimate
5972
of completion time but it should fall as the first few
5973
revisions are pulled in. branch is still slow on
5974
high-latency connections.

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

6445
bzr-0.0.4 2005-04-22
6446
---------------------
6447
6448
ENHANCEMENTS:
6449
6450
* 'bzr diff' optionally takes a list of files to diff. Still a bit
6451
basic. Patch from QuantumG.
6452
6453
* More default ignore patterns.
6454
6455
* New 'bzr log --verbose' shows a list of files changed in the
6456
changeset. Patch from Sebastian Cote.
6457
6458
* Roll over ~/.bzr.log if it gets too large.
6459
6460
* Command abbreviations 'ci', 'st', 'stat', '?' based on a patch
6461
by Jason Diamon.
6462
6463
* New 'bzr help commands' based on a patch from Denys Duchier.
6464
6465
6466
CHANGES:
6467
6468
* User email is determined by looking at $BZREMAIL or ~/.bzr.email
6469
or $EMAIL. All are decoded by the locale preferred encoding.
6470
If none of these are present user@hostname is used. The host's
6471
fully-qualified name is not used because that tends to fail when
6472
there are DNS problems.
6473
6474
* New 'bzr whoami' command instead of username user-email.
6475
6476
6477
BUG FIXES:
6478
6479
* Make commit safe for hardlinked bzr trees.
6480
6481
* Some Unicode/locale fixes.
6482
6483
* Partial workaround for ``difflib.unified_diff`` not handling
6484
trailing newlines properly.
6485
6486
6487
INTERNAL:
6488
6489
* Allow docstrings for help to be in PEP0257 format. Patch from
6490
Matt Brubeck.
6491
6492
* More tests in test.sh.
6493
6494
* Write profile data to a temporary file not into working
6495
directory and delete it when done.
6496
6497
* Smaller .bzr.log with process ids.
6498
6499
6500
PORTABILITY:
6501
6502
* Fix opening of ~/.bzr.log on Windows. Patch from Andrew
6503
Bennetts.
6504
6505
* Some improvements in handling paths on Windows, based on a patch
6506
from QuantumG.

6508
6509
bzr-0.0.3 2005-04-06
6510
---------------------
6511
6512
ENHANCEMENTS:
6513
6514
* New "directories" internal command lists versioned directories
6515
in the tree.
6516
6517
* Can now say "bzr commit --help".
6518
6519
* New "rename" command to rename one file to a different name
6520
and/or directory.
