BUG FIXES:
15
16
* ``bzr upgrade`` on remote branches accessed via bzr:// and
17
bzr+ssh:// now works. (Andrew Bennetts)
18
19
* sftp transport: added missing ``FileExists`` case to
20
``_translate_io_exception`` (Christophe Troestler, #123475)
21
22
* The help for ``bzr ignored`` now suggests ``bzr ls --ignored`` for
23
scripting use. (Robert Collins, #3834)
24
25
* The default ``annotate`` logic will now always assign the
26
last-modified value of a line to one of the revisions that modified
27
it, rather than a merge revision. This would happen when both sides
28
claimed to have modified the line resulting in the same text. The
29
choice is arbitrary but stable, so merges in different directions
30
will get the same results. (John Arbash Meinel, #232188)

bzr 1.6rc1 2008-08-06
38
---------------------
39
40
This release candidate for bzr 1.6 solidifies the new branch stacking
41
feature. Bazaar now recommends that users upgrade all knit repositories,
42
because later formats are much faster. However, we plan to continue read/write and
43
upgrade support for knit repostories for the forseeable future. Several
44
other bugs and performance issues were fixed.
45
46
CHANGES:
47
48
* Knit format repositories are deprecated and bzr will now emit
49
warnings whenever it encounters one. Use ``bzr upgrade`` to upgrade
50
knit repositories to pack format. (Andrew Bennetts)
51
52
IMPROVEMENTS:
53
54
* ``bzr check`` can now be told which elements at a location it should
55
check. (Daniel Watkins)
56
57
* Commit now supports ``--exclude`` (or ``-x``) to exclude some files
58
from the commit. (Robert Collins, #3117)
59
60
* Fetching data between repositories that have the same model but no
61
optimised fetcher will not reserialise all the revisions, increasing
62
performance. (Robert Collins, John Arbash Meinel)
63
64
* Give a more specific error when target branch is not reachable.
65
(James Westby)
66
67
* Implemented a custom ``walkdirs_utf8`` implementation for win32.
68
This uses a pyrex extension to get direct access to the
69
``FindFirstFileW`` style apis, rather than using ``listdir`` +
70
``lstat``. Shows a very strong improvement in commands like
71
``status`` and ``diff`` which have to iterate the working tree.
72
Anywhere from 2x-6x faster depending on the size of the tree (bigger
73
trees, bigger benefit.) (John Arbash Meinel)
74
75
* New registry for log properties handles and the method in
76
LongLogFormatter to display the custom properties returned by the
77
registered handlers. (Guillermo Gonzalez, #162469)
78
79
BUG FIXES:
80
81
* Add more tests that stacking does not create deltas spanning
82
physical repository boundaries.
83
(Martin Pool, #252428)
84
85
* Better message about incompatible repositories.
86
(Martin Pool, #206258)
87
88
* ``bzr branch --stacked`` ensures the destination branch format can
89
support stacking, even if the origin does not.
90
(Martin Pool)
91
92
* ``bzr export`` no longer exports ``.bzrrules``.
93
(Ian Clatworthy)
94
95
* ``bzr serve --directory=/`` now correctly allows the whole
96
filesystem to be accessed on Windows, not just the root of the drive
97
that Python is running from.
98
(Adrian Wilkins, #240910)
99
100
* Deleting directories by hand before running ``bzr rm`` will not
101
cause subsequent errors in ``bzr st`` and ``bzr commit``.
102
(Robert Collins, #150438)
103
104
* Fix a test case that was failing if encoding wasn't UTF-8.
105
(John Arbash Meinel, #247585)
106
107
* Fix "no buffer space available" error when branching with the new
108
smart server protocol to or from Windows.
109
(Andrew Bennetts, #246180)
110
111
* Fixed problem in branching from smart server.
112
(#249256, Michael Hudson, Martin Pool)
113
114
* Handle a file turning in to a directory in TreeTransform.
115
(James Westby, #248448)
116
117
API CHANGES:
118
119
* ``MutableTree.commit`` has an extra optional keywork parameter
120
``exclude`` that will be unconditionally supplied by the command
121
line UI - plugins that add tree formats may need an update.
122
(Robert Collins)
123
124
* The API minimum version for plugin compatibility has been raised to
125
1.6 - there are significant changes throughout the code base.
126
(Robert Collins)
127
128
* The generic fetch code now uses three attributes on Repository objects
129
to control fetch. The streams requested are controlled via :
130
``_fetch_order`` and ``_fetch_uses_deltas``. Setting these
131
appropriately allows different repository implementations to recieve
132
data in their optimial form. If the ``_fetch_reconcile`` is set then
133
a reconcile operation is triggered at the end of the fetch.
134
(Robert Collins)
135
136
* The ``put_on_disk`` and ``get_tar_item`` methods in
137
``InventoryEntry`` were deprecated. (Ian Clatworthy)
138
139
* ``Repository.is_shared`` doesn't take a read lock. It didn't
140
need one in the first place (nobody cached the value, and
141
``RemoteRepository`` wasn't taking one either). This saves a round
142
trip when probing Pack repositories, as they read the ``pack-names``
143
file when locked. And during probe, locking the repo isn't very
144
useful. (John Arbash Meinel)
145
146
INTERNALS:
147
148
* ``bzrlib.branchbuilder.BranchBuilder`` is now much more capable of
149
putting together a real history without having to create a full
150
WorkingTree. It is recommended that tests that are not directly
151
testing the WorkingTree use BranchBuilder instead. See
152
``BranchBuilder.build_snapshot`` or
153
``TestCaseWithMemoryTree.make_branch_builder``. (John Arbash Meinel)
154
155
* ``bzrlib.builtins.internal_tree_files`` broken into two giving a new
156
helper ``safe_relpath_files`` - used by the new ``exclude``
157
parameter to commit. (Robert Collins)
158
159
* Make it easier to introduce new WorkingTree formats.
160
(Ian Clatworthy)
161
162
* The code for exporting trees was refactored not to use the
163
deprecated ``InventoryEntry`` methods. (Ian Clatworthy)
164
165
* RuleSearchers return () instead of [] now when there are no matches.
166
(Ian Clatworthy)

169
bzr 1.6beta3 2008-07-17
170
-----------------------
171
172
This release adds a new 'stacked branches' feature allowing branches to
173
share storage without being in the same repository or on the same machine.
174
(See the user guide for more details.) It also adds a new hook, improved
175
weaves, aliases for related locations, faster bzr+ssh push, and several
176
bug fixes.
177
178
FEATURES:
179
180
* New ``pre_change_branch_tip`` hook that is called before the
181
branch tip is moved, while the branch is write-locked. See the User
182
Reference for signature details. (Andrew Bennetts)
183
184
* Rule-based preferences can now be defined for selected files in
185
selected branches, allowing commands and plugins to provide
186
custom behaviour for files matching defined patterns.
187
See ``Rule-based preferences`` (part of ``Configuring Bazaar``)
188
in the User Guide and ``bzr help rules`` for more information.
189
(Ian Clatworthy)
190
191
* Sites may suggest a branch to stack new branches on. (Aaron Bentley)
192
193
* Stacked branches are now supported. See ``bzr help branch`` and
194
``bzr help push``. Branches must be in the ``development1`` format
195
to stack, though the stacked-on branch can be of any format.
196
(Robert Collins)
197
198
IMPROVEMENTS:
199
200
* ``bzr export --format=tgz --root=NAME -`` to export a gzipped tarball
201
to stdout; also ``tar`` and ``tbz2``.
202
(Martin Pool)
203
204
* ``bzr (re)merge --weave`` will now use a standard Weave algorithm,
205
rather than the annotation-based merge it was using. It does so by
206
building up a Weave of the important texts, without needing to build
207
the full ancestry. (John Arbash Meinel, #238895)
208
209
* ``bzr send`` documents and better supports ``emacsclient`` (proper
210
escaping of mail headers and handling of the MUA Mew).
211
(Christophe Troestler)
212
213
* Remembered locations can be specified by aliases, e.g. :parent, :public,
214
:submit. (Aaron Bentley)
215
216
* The smart protocol now has improved support for setting branches'
217
revision info directly. This makes operations like push
218
faster. The new request method name is
219
``Branch.set_last_revision_ex``. (Andrew Bennetts)
220
221
BUG FIXES:
222
223
* Bazaar is now able to be a client to the web server of IIS 6 and 7.
224
The broken implementations of RFC822 in Python and RFC2046 in IIS
225
combined with boundary-line checking in Bazaar previously made this
226
impossible. (NB, IIS 5 does not suffer from this problem).
227
(Adrian Wilkins, #247585)
228
229
* ``bzr log --long`` with a ghost in your mainline now handles that
230
ghost properly. (John Arbash Meinel, #243536)
231
232
* ``check`` handles the split-up .bzr layout correctly, so no longer
233
requires a branch to be present.
234
(Daniel Watkins, #64783)
235
236
* Clearer message about how to set the PYTHONPATH if bzrlib can't be
237
loaded.
238
(Martin Pool, #205230)
239
240
* Errors about missing libraries are now shown without a traceback,
241
and with a suggestion to install the library. The full traceback is
242
still in ``.bzr.log`` and can be shown with ``-Derror``.
243
(Martin Pool, #240161)
244
245
* Fetch from a stacked branch copies all required data.
246
(Aaron Bentley, #248506)
247
248
* Handle urls such as ftp://user@host.com@www.host.com where the user
249
name contains an @.
250
(Neil Martinsen-Burrell, #228058)
251
252
* ``needs_read_lock`` and ``needs_write_lock`` now suppress an error during
253
``unlock`` if there was an error in the original function. This helps
254
most when there is a failure with a smart server action, since often the
255
connection closes and we cannot unlock.
256
(Andrew Bennetts, John Arbash Meinel, #125784)
257
258
* Obsolete hidden command ``bzr fetch`` removed.
259
(Martin Pool, #172870)
260
261
* Raise the correct exception when doing ``-rbefore:0`` or ``-c0``.
262
(John Arbash Meinel, #239933)
263
264
* You can now compare file revisions in Windows diff programs from
265
Cygwin Bazaar.
266
(Matt McClure, #209281)
267
268
* revision_history now tolerates mainline ghosts for Branch format 6.
269
(Aaron Bentley, #235055)
270
271
* Set locale from environment for third party libs.
272
(Martin von Gagern, #128496)
273
274
DOCUMENTATION:
275
276
* Added *Using stacked branches* to the User Guide.
277
(Ian Clatworthy)
278
279
* Updated developer documentation.
280
(Martin Pool)
281
282
TESTING:
283
284
* ``-Dmemory`` will cause /proc/PID/status to be catted before bzr
285
exits, allowing low-key analysis of peak memory use. (Robert Collins)
286
287
* ``TestCaseWithTransport.make_branch_and_tree`` tries harder to return
288
a tree with a ``branch`` attribute of the right format. This was
289
preventing some ``RemoteBranch`` tests from actually running with
290
``RemoteBranch`` instances. (Andrew Bennetts)
291
292
API CHANGES:
293
294
* Removed ``Repository.text_store``, ``control_store``, etc. Instead,
295
there are new attributes ``texts, inventories, revisions,
296
signatures``, each of which is a ``VersionedFiles``. See the
297
Repository docstring for more details.
298
(Robert Collins)
299
300
* ``Branch.pull`` now accepts an ``_override_hook_target`` optional
301
parameter. If you have a subclass of ``Branch`` that overrides
302
``pull`` then you should add this parameter. (Andrew Bennetts)
303
304
* ``bzrlib.check.check()`` has been deprecated in favour of the more
305
aptly-named ``bzrlib.check.check_branch()``.
306
(Daniel Watkins)
307
308
* ``Tree.print_file`` and ``Repository.print_file`` are deprecated.
309
These methods are bad APIs because they write directly to sys.stdout.
310
bzrlib does not use them internally, and there are no direct tests
311
for them. (Alexander Belchenko)
312
313
INTERNALS:
314
315
* ``cat`` command no longer uses ``Tree.print_file()`` internally.
316
(Alexander Belchenko)
317
318
* New class method ``BzrDir.open_containing_tree_branch_or_repository``
319
which eases the discovery of the tree, the branch and the repository
320
containing a given location.
321
(Daniel Watkins)
322
323
* New ``versionedfile.KeyMapper`` interface to abstract out the access to
324
underlying .knit/.kndx etc files in repositories with partitioned
325
storage. (Robert Collins)
326
327
* Obsolete developer-use command ``weave-join`` has been removed.
328
(Robert Collins)
329
330
* ``RemoteToOtherFetcher`` and ``get_data_stream_for_search`` removed,
331
to support new ``VersionedFiles`` layering.
332
(Robert Collins)
333
334
335
bzr 1.6beta2 2008-06-10
336
-----------------------
337
338
This release contains further progress towards our 1.6 goals of shallow
339
repositories, and contains a fix for some user-affecting bugs in the
340
repository layer. Building working trees during checkout and branch is
341
now faster.
342
343
BUG FIXES:
344
345
* Avoid KnitCorrupt error extracting inventories from some repositories.
346
(The data is not corrupt; an internal check is detecting a problem
347
reading from the repository.)
348
(Martin Pool, Andrew Bennetts, Robert Collins, #234748)
349
350
* ``bzr status`` was breaking if you merged the same revision twice.
351
(John Arbash Meinel, #235407)
352
353
* Fix infinite loop consuming 100% CPU when a connection is lost while
354
reading a response body via the smart protocol v1 or v2.
355
(Andrew Bennetts)
356
357
* Inserting a bundle which changes the contents of a file with no trailing
358
end of line, causing a knit snapshot in a 'knits' repository will no longer
359
cause KnitCorrupt. (Robert Collins)
360
361
* ``RemoteBranch.pull`` needs to return the ``self._real_branch``'s
362
pull result. It was instead just returning None, which breaks ``bzr
363
pull``. (John Arbash Meinel, #238149)
364
365
* Sanitize branch nick before using it as an attachment filename in
366
``bzr send``. (Lukáš Lalinský, #210218)
367
368
* Squash ``inv_entry.symlink_target`` to a plain string when
369
generating DirState details. This prevents from getting a
370
``UnicodeError`` when you have symlinks and non-ascii filenames.
371
(John Arbash Meinel, #135320)
372
373
IMPROVEMENTS:
374
375
* Added the 'alias' command to set/unset and display aliases. (Tim Penhey)
376
377
* ``added``, ``modified``, and ``unknowns`` behaviour made consistent (all three
378
now quote paths where required). Added ``--null`` option to ``added`` and
379
``modified`` (for null-separated unknowns, use ``ls --unknown --null``)
380
(Adrian Wilkins)
381
382
* Faster branching (1.09x) and lightweight checkouts (1.06x) on large trees.
383
(Ian Clatworthy, Aaron Bentley)
384
385
DOCUMENTATION:
386
387
* Added *Bazaar Zen* section to the User Guide. (Ian Clatworthy)
388
389
TESTING:
390
391
* Fix the test HTTPServer to be isolated from chdir calls made while it is
392
running, allowing it to be used in blackbox tests. (Robert Collins)
393
394
API CHANGES:
395
396
* ``WorkingTree.set_parent_(ids/trees)`` will now filter out revisions
397
which are in the ancestry of other revisions. So if you merge the same
398
tree twice, or merge an ancestor of an existing merge, it will only
399
record the newest. (If you merge a descendent, it will replace its
400
ancestor). (John Arbash Meinel, #235407)
401
402
* ``RepositoryPolicy.__init__`` now requires stack_on and stack_on_pwd,
403
through the derived classes do not. (Aaron Bentley)
404
405
INTERNALS:
406
407
* ``bzrlib.bzrdir.BzrDir.sprout`` now accepts ``stacked`` to control
408
creating stacked branches. (Robert Collins)
409
410
* Knit record serialisation is now stricter on what it will accept, to
411
guard against potential internal bugs, or broken input. (Robert Collins)
412
413
414
bzr 1.6beta1 2008-06-02
415
-----------------------
416
417
418
Commands that work on the revision history such as push, pull, missing,
419
uncommit and log are now substantially faster. This release adds a
420
translation of some of the user documentation into Spanish. (Contributions of
421
other translations would be very welcome.) Bazaar 1.6beta1 adds a new network
422
protocol which is used by default and which allows for more efficient transfers
423
and future extensions.
424
425
426
NOTES WHEN UPGRADING:
427
428
* There is a new version of the network protocol used for bzr://, bzr+ssh://
429
and bzr+http:// connections. This will allow more efficient requests and
430
responses, and more graceful fallback when a server is too old to
431
recognise a request from a more recent client. Bazaar 1.6 will
432
interoperate with 0.16 and later versions, but servers should be upgraded
433
when possible. Bazaar 1.6 no longer interoperates with 0.15 and earlier via
434
these protocols. Use alternatives like SFTP or upgrade those servers.
435
(Andrew Bennetts, #83935)
436
437
CHANGES:
438
439
* Deprecation warnings will not be suppressed when running ``bzr selftest``
440
so that developers can see if their code is using deprecated functions.
441
(John Arbash Meinel)
442
443
FEATURES:
444
445
* Adding ``-Derror`` will now display a traceback when a plugin fails to
446
load. (James Westby)
447
448
IMPROVEMENTS:
449
450
* ``bzr branch/push/pull -r XXX`` now have a helper function for finding
451
the revno of the new revision (``Graph.find_distance_to_null``). This
452
should make something like ``bzr branch -r -100`` in a shared, no-trees
453
repository much snappier. (John Arbash Meinel)
454
455
* ``bzr log --short -r X..Y`` no longer needs to access the full revision
456
history. This makes it noticeably faster when logging the last few
457
revisions. (John Arbash Meinel)
458
459
* ``bzr ls`` now accepts ``-V`` as an alias for ``--versioned``.
460
(Jerad Cramp, #165086)
461
462
* ``bzr missing`` uses the new ``Graph.find_unique_ancestors`` and
463
``Graph.find_differences`` to determine missing revisions without having
464
to search the whole ancestry. (John Arbash Meinel, #174625)
465
466
* ``bzr uncommit`` now uses partial history access, rather than always
467
extracting the full revision history for a branch. This makes it
468
resolve the appropriate revisions much faster (in testing it drops
469
uncommit from 1.5s => 0.4s). It also means ``bzr log --short`` is one
470
step closer to not using full revision history.
471
(John Arbash Meinel, #172649)
472
473
BUGFIXES:
474
475
* ``bzr merge --lca`` should handle when two revisions have no common
476
ancestor other than NULL_REVISION. (John Arbash Meinel, #235715)
477
478
* ``bzr status`` was breaking if you merged the same revision twice.
479
(John Arbash Meinel, #235407)
480
481
* ``bzr push`` with both ``--overwrite`` and ``-r NNN`` options no longer
482
fails. (Andrew Bennetts, #234229)
483
484
* Correctly track the base URL of a smart medium when using bzr+http://
485
URLs, which was causing spurious "No repository present" errors with
486
branches in shared repositories accessed over bzr+http.
487
(Andrew Bennetts, #230550)
488
489
* Define ``_remote_is_at_least_1_2`` on ``SmartClientMedium`` so that all
490
implementations have the attribute. Fixes 'PyCurlTransport' object has no
491
attribute '_remote_is_at_least_1_2' attribute errors.
492
(Andrew Bennetts, #220806)
493
494
* Failure to delete an obsolete pack file should just give a warning
495
message, not a fatal error. It may for example fail if the file is still
496
in use by another process.
497
(Martin Pool)
498
499
* Fix MemoryError during large fetches over HTTP by limiting the amount of
500
data we try to read per ``recv`` call. The problem was observed with
501
Windows and a proxy, but might affect other environments as well.
502
(Eric Holmberg, #215426)
503
504
* Handle old merge directives correctly in Merger.from_mergeable. Stricter
505
get_parent_map requirements exposed a latent bug here. (Aaron Bentley)
506
507
* Issue a warning and ignore passwords declared in authentication.conf when
508
used for an ssh scheme (sftp or bzr+ssh).
509
(Vincent Ladeuil, #203186)
510
511
* Make both http implementations raise appropriate exceptions on 403
512
Forbidden when POSTing smart requests.
513
(Vincent Ladeuil, #230223)
514
515
* Properly *title* header names in http requests instead of capitalizing
516
them.
517
(Vincent Ladeuil, #229076)
518
519
* The "Unable to obtain lock" error message now also suggests using
520
``bzr break-lock`` to fix it. (Martin Albisetti, #139202)
521
522
* Treat an encoding of '' as ascii; this can happen when bzr is run
523
under vim on Mac OS X.
524
(Neil Martinsen-Burrell)
525
526
* ``VersionedFile.make_mpdiffs()`` was raising an exception that wasn't in
527
scope. (Daniel Fischer #235687)
528
529
DOCUMENTATION:
530
531
* Added directory structure and started translation of docs in spanish.
532
(Martin Albisetti, Lucio Albenga)
533
534
* Incorporate feedback from Jelmer Vernooij and Neil Martinsen-Burrell
535
on the plugin and integration chapters of the User Guide.
536
(Ian Clatworthy)
537
538
* More Bazaar developer documentation about packaging and release process,
539
and about use of Python reprs.
540
(Martin Pool, Martin Albisetti)
541
542
* Updated Tortise strategy document. (Mark Hammond)
543
544
TESTING:
545
546
* ``bzrlib.tests.adapt_tests`` was broken and unused - it has been fixed.
547
(Robert Collins)
548
549
* Fix the test HTTPServer to be isolated from chdir calls made while it is
550
running, allowing it to be used in blackbox tests. (Robert Collins)
551
552
* New helper function for splitting test suites
553
``split_suite_by_condition``. (Robert Collins)
554
555
INTERNALS:
556
557
* ``Branch.missing_revisions`` has been deprecated. Similar functionality
558
can be obtained using ``bzrlib.missing.find_unmerged``. The api was
559
fairly broken, and the function was unused, so we are getting rid of it.
560
(John Arbash Meinel)
561
562
API CHANGES:
563
564
* ``Branch.abspath`` is deprecated; use the Tree or Transport
565
instead. (Martin Pool)
566
567
* ``Branch.update_revisions`` now takes an optional ``Graph``
568
object. This can be used by ``update_revisions`` when it is
569
checking ancestry, and allows callers to prefer request to go to a
570
local branch. (John Arbash Meinel)
571
572
* Branch, Repository, Tree and BzrDir should expose a Transport as an
573
attribute if they have one, rather than having it indirectly accessible
574
as ``.control_files._transport``. This doesn't add a requirement
575
to support a Transport in cases where it was not needed before;
576
it just simplifies the way it is reached. (Martin Pool)
577
578
* ``bzr missing --mine-only`` will return status code 0 if you have no
579
new revisions, but the remote does. Similarly for ``--theirs-only``.
580
The new code only checks one side, so it doesn't know if the other
581
side has changes. This seems more accurate with the request anyway.
582
It also changes the output to print '[This|Other] branch is up to
583
date.' rather than displaying nothing. (John Arbash Meinel)
584
585
* ``LockableFiles.put_utf8``, ``put_bytes`` and ``controlfilename``
586
are now deprecated in favor of using Transport operations.
587
(Martin Pool)
588
589
* Many methods on ``VersionedFile``, ``Repository`` and in
590
``bzrlib.revision`` deprecated before bzrlib 1.5 have been removed.
591
(Robert Collins)
592
593
* ``RevisionSpec.wants_revision_history`` can be set to False for a given
594
``RevisionSpec``. This will disable the existing behavior of passing in
595
the full revision history to ``self._match_on``. Useful for specs that
596
don't actually need access to the full history. (John Arbash Meinel)
597
598
* The constructors of ``SmartClientMedium`` and its subclasses now require a
599
``base`` parameter. ``SmartClientMedium`` implementations now also need
600
to provide a ``remote_path_from_transport`` method. (Andrew Bennetts)
601
602
* The default permissions for creating new files and directories
603
should now be obtained from ``BzrDir._get_file_mode()`` and
604
``_get_dir_mode()``, rather than from LockableFiles. The ``_set_file_mode``
605
and ``_set_dir_mode`` variables on LockableFiles which were advertised
606
as a way for plugins to control this are no longer consulted.
607
(Martin Pool)
608
609
* ``VersionedFile.join`` is deprecated. This method required local
610
instances of both versioned file objects and was thus hostile to being
611
used for streaming from a smart server. The new get_record_stream and
612
insert_record_stream are meant to efficiently replace this method.
613
(Robert Collins)
614
615
* ``WorkingTree.set_parent_(ids/trees)`` will now filter out revisions
616
which are in the ancestry of other revisions. So if you merge the same
617
tree twice, or merge an ancestor of an existing merge, it will only
618
record the newest. (If you merge a descendent, it will replace its
619
ancestor). (John Arbash Meinel, #235407)
620
621
* ``WorkingTreeFormat2.stub_initialize_remote`` is now private.
622

bzr 1.5 2008-05-16
626
------------------
627
628
This release of Bazaar includes several updates to the documentation, and fixes
629
to prepare for making rich root support the default format. Many bugs have been
630
squashed, including fixes to log, bzr+ssh inter-operation with older servers.
631
632
CHANGES:
633
634
* Suppress deprecation warnings when bzrlib is a 'final' release. This way
635
users of packaged software won't be bothered with DeprecationWarnings,
636
but developers and testers will still see them. (John Arbash Meinel)
637
638
DOCUMENTATION:
639
640
* Incorporate feedback from Jelmer Vernooij and Neil Martinsen-Burrell
641
on the plugin and integration chapters of the User Guide.

646
---------------------
647
648
NOTES WHEN UPGRADING:
649
650
CHANGES:
651
652
* Broader support of GNU Emacs mail clients. Set
653
``mail_client=emacsclient`` in your bazaar.conf and ``send`` will pop the
654
bundle in a mail buffer according to the value of ``mail-user-agent``
655
variable. (Xavier Maillard)
656
657
FEATURES:
658
659
IMPROVEMENTS:
660
661
* Diff now handles revision specs like "branch:" and "submit:" more
662
efficiently. (Aaron Bentley, #202928)
663
664
* More friendly error given when attempt to start the smart server
665
on an address already in use. (Andrea Corbellini, #200575)
666
667
* Pull completes much faster when there is nothing to pull.
668
(Aaron Bentley)
669
670
BUGFIXES:
671
672
* Authentication.conf can define sections without password.
673
(Vincent Ladeuil, #199440)
674
675
* Avoid muttering every time a child update does not cause a progress bar
676
update. (John Arbash Meinel, #213771)
677
678
* ``Branch.reconcile()`` is now implemented. This allows ``bzr reconcile``
679
to fix when a Branch has a non-canonical mainline history. ``bzr check``
680
also detects this condition. (John Arbash Meinel, #177855)
681
682
* ``bzr log -r ..X bzr://`` was failing, because it was getting a request
683
for ``revision_id=None`` which was not a string.
684
(John Arbash Meinel, #211661)
685
686
* ``bzr commit`` now works with Microsoft's FTP service.
687
(Andreas Deininger)
688
689
* Catch definitions outside sections in authentication.conf.
690
(Vincent Ladeuil, #217650)
691
692
* Conversion from non-rich-root to rich-root(-pack) updates inventory
693
sha1s, even when bundles are used. (Aaron Bentley, #181391)
694
695
* Conversion from non-rich-root to rich-root(-pack) works correctly even
696
though search keys are not topologically sorted. (Aaron Bentley)
697
698
* Conversion from non-rich-root to rich-root(-pack) works even when a
699
parent revision has a different root id. (Aaron Bentley, #177874)
700
701
* Disable strace testing until strace is fixed (see bug #103133) and emit a
702
warning when selftest ends to remind us of leaking tests.
703
(Vincent Ladeuil, #226769)
704
705
* Fetching all revisions from a repository does not cause pack collisions.
706
(Robert Collins, Aaron Bentley, #212908)
707
708
* Fix error about "attempt to add line-delta in non-delta knit".
709
(Andrew Bennetts, #217701)
710
711
* Pushing a branch in "dirstate" format (Branch5) over bzr+ssh would break
712
if the remote server was < version 1.2. This was due to a bug in the
713
RemoteRepository.get_parent_map() fallback code.
714
(John Arbash Meinel, #214894)
715
716
* Remove leftover code in ``bzr_branch`` that inappropriately creates
717
a ``branch-name`` file in the branch control directory.
718
(Martin Pool)
719
720
* Set SO_REUSEADDR on server sockets of ``bzr serve`` to avoid problems
721
rebinding the socket when starting the server a second time.
722
(John Arbash Meinel, Martin Pool, #164288)
723
724
* Severe performance degradation in fetching from knit repositories to
725
knits and packs due to parsing the entire revisions.kndx on every graph
726
walk iteration fixed by using the Repository.get_graph API. There was
727
another regression in knit => knit fetching which re-read the index for
728
every revision each side had in common.
729
(Robert Collins, John Arbash Meinel)
730
731
* When logging the changes to a particular file, there was a bug if there
732
were ghosts in the revision ancestry. (John Arbash Meinel, #209948)
733
734
* xs4all's ftp server returns a temporary error when trying to list an
735
empty directory, rather than returning an empty list. Adding a
736
workaround so that we don't get spurious failures.
737
(John Arbash Meinel, #215522)
738
739
DOCUMENTATION:
740
741
* Expanded the User Guide to include new chapters on popular plugins and
742
integrating Bazaar into your environment. The *Best practices* chapter
743
was renamed to *Miscellaneous topics* as suggested by community
744
feedback as well. (Ian Clatworthy)
745
746
* Document outlining strategies for TortoiseBzr. (Mark Hammond)
747
748
* Improved the documentation on hooks. (Ian Clatworthy)
749
750
* Update authentication docs regarding ssh agents.
751
(Vincent Ladeuil, #183705)
752
753
TESTING:
754
755
* Add ``thread_name_suffix`` parameter to SmartTCPServer_for_testing, to
756
make it easy to identify which test spawned a thread with an unhandled
757
exception. (Andrew Bennetts)
758
759
* New ``--debugflag``/``-E`` option to ``bzr selftest`` for setting
760
options for debugging tests, these are complementary to the the -D
761
options. The ``-Dselftest_debug`` global option has been replaced by the
762
``-E=allow_debug`` option for selftest. (Andrew Bennetts)
763
764
* Parameterised test ids are preserved correctly to aid diagnosis of test
765
failures. (Robert Collins, Andrew Bennetts)
766
767
* selftest now accepts --starting-with <id> to load only the tests whose id
768
starts with the one specified. This greatly speeds up running the test
769
suite on a limited set of tests and can be used to run the tests for a
770
single module, a single class or even a single test. (Vincent Ladeuil)
771
772
* The test suite modules have been modified to define load_tests() instead
773
of test_suite(). That speeds up selective loading (via --load-list)
774
significantly and provides many examples on how to migrate (grep for
775
load_tests). (Vincent Ladeuil)
776
777
INTERNALS:
778
779
* ``Hooks.install_hook`` is now deprecated in favour of
780
``Hooks.install_named_hook`` which adds a required ``name`` parameter, to
781
avoid having to call ``Hooks.name_hook``. (Daniel Watkins)
782
783
* Implement xml8 serializer. (Aaron Bentley)
784
785
* New form ``@deprecated_method(deprecated_in(1, 5, 0))`` for making
786
deprecation wrappers. (Martin Pool)
787
788
* ``Repository.revision_parents`` is now deprecated in favour of
789
``Repository.get_parent_map([revid])[revid]``. (Jelmer Vernooij)
790
791
* The Python ``assert`` statement is no longer used in Bazaar source, and
792
a test checks this. (Martin Pool)
793
794
API CHANGES:
795
796
* ``bzrlib.status.show_pending_merges`` requires the repository to be
797
locked by the caller. Callers should have been doing it anyway, but it
798
will now raise an exception if they do not. (John Arbash Meinel)
799
800
* Repository.get_data_stream, Repository.get_data_stream_for_search(),
801
Repository.get_deltas_for_revsions(), Repository.revision_trees(),
802
Repository.item_keys_introduced_by() no longer take read locks.
803
(Aaron Bentley)
804
805
* ``LockableFiles.get_utf8`` and ``.get`` are deprecated, as a start
806
towards removing LockableFiles and ``.control_files`` entirely.
807
(Martin Pool)
808
809
* Methods deprecated prior to 1.1 have been removed.

bzr 1.4 2008-04-28
814
------------------
815
816
This release of Bazaar includes handy improvements to the speed of log and
817
status, new options for several commands, improved documentation, and better
818
hooks, including initial code for server-side hooks. A number of bugs have
819
been fixed, particularly in interoperability between different formats or
820
different releases of Bazaar over there network. There's been substantial
821
internal work in both the repository and network code to enable new features
822
and faster performance.
823
824
BUG FIXES:
825
826
* Pushing a branch in "dirstate" format (Branch5) over bzr+ssh would break
827
if the remote server was < version 1.2. This was due to a bug in the
828
RemoteRepository.get_parent_map() fallback code.

bzr 1.4rc2 2008-04-21
833
---------------------
834
835
BUG FIXES:
836
837
* ``bzr log -r ..X bzr://`` was failing, because it was getting a request
838
for ``revision_id=None`` which was not a string.
839
(John Arbash Meinel, #211661)
840
841
* Fixed a bug in handling ghost revisions when logging changes in a
842
particular file. (John Arbash Meinel, #209948)
843
844
* Fix error about "attempt to add line-delta in non-delta knit".
845
(Andrew Bennetts, #205156)
846
847
* Fixed performance degradation in fetching from knit repositories to
848
knits and packs due to parsing the entire revisions.kndx on every graph
849
walk iteration fixed by using the Repository.get_graph API. There was
850
another regression in knit => knit fetching which re-read the index for

bzr 1.4rc1 2008-04-11
856
---------------------
857
858
CHANGES:
859
860
* bzr main script cannot be imported (Benjamin Peterson)
861
862
* On Linux bzr additionally looks for plugins in arch-independent site
863
directory. (Toshio Kuratomi)
864
865
* The ``set_rh`` branch hook is now deprecated. Please migrate
866
any plugins using this hook to use an alternative, e.g.
867
``post_change_branch_tip``. (Ian Clatworthy)
868
869
* When a plugin cannot be loaded as the file path is not a valid
870
python module name bzr will now strip a ``bzr_`` prefix from the
871
front of the suggested name, as many plugins (e.g. bzr-svn)
872
want to be installed without this prefix. It is a common mistake
873
to have a folder named "bzr-svn" for that plugin, especially
874
as this is what bzr branch lp:bzr-svn will give you. (James Westby,
875
Andrew Cowie)
876
877
* UniqueIntegerBugTracker now appends bug-ids instead of joining
878
them to the base URL. Plugins that register bug trackers may
879
need a trailing / added to the base URL if one is not already there.
880
(James Wesby, Andrew Cowie)
881
882
FEATURES:
883
884
* Added start_commit hook for mutable trees. (Jelmer Vernooij, #186422)
885
886
* ``status`` now accepts ``--no-pending`` to show the status without
887
listing pending merges, which speeds up the command a lot on large
888
histories. (James Westby, #202830)
889
890
* New ``post_change_branch_tip`` hook that is called after the
891
branch tip is moved but while the branch is still write-locked.
892
See the User Reference for signature details.
893
(Ian Clatworthy, James Henstridge)
894
895
* Reconfigure can convert a branch to be standalone or to use a shared
896
repository. (Aaron Bentley)
897
898
IMPROVEMENTS:
899
900
* The smart protocol now has support for setting branches' revision info
901
directly. This should make operations like push slightly faster, and is a
902
step towards server-side hooks. The new request method name is
903
``Branch.set_last_revision_info``. (Andrew Bennetts)
904
905
* ``bzr commit --fixes`` now recognises "gnome" as a tag by default.
906
(James Westby, Andrew Cowie)
907
908
* ``bzr switch`` will attempt to find branches to switch to relative to the
909
current branch. E.g. ``bzr switch branchname`` will look for
910
``current_branch/../branchname``. (Robert Collins, Jelmer Vernooij,
911
Wouter van Heyst)
912
913
* Diff is now more specific about execute-bit changes it describes
914
(Chad Miller)
915
916
* Fetching data over HTTP is a bit faster when urllib is used. This is done
917
by forcing it to recv 64k at a time when reading lines in HTTP headers,
918
rather than just 1 byte at a time. (Andrew Bennetts)
919
920
* Log --short and --line are much faster when -r is not specified.
921
(Aaron Bentley)
922
923
* Merge is faster. We no longer check a file's existence unnecessarily
924
when merging the execute bit. (Aaron Bentley)
925
926
* ``bzr status`` on an explicit list of files no longer shows pending
927
merges, making it much faster on large trees. (John Arbash Meinel)
928
929
* The launchpad directory service now warns the user if they have not set
930
their launchpad login and are trying to resolve a URL using it, just
931
in case they want to do a write operation with it. (James Westby)
932
933
* The smart protocol client is slightly faster, because it now only queries
934
the server for the protocol version once per connection. Also, the HTTP
935
transport will now automatically probe for and use a smart server if
936
one is present. You can use the new ``nosmart+`` transport decorator
937
to get the old behaviour. (Andrew Bennetts)
938
939
* The ``version`` command takes a ``--short`` option to print just the
940
version number, for easier use in scripts. (Martin Pool)
941
942
* Various operations with revision specs and commands that calculate
943
revnos and revision ids are faster. (John A. Meinel, Aaron Bentley)
944
945
BUGFIXES:
946
947
* Add ``root_client_path`` parameter to SmartWSGIApp and
948
SmartServerRequest. This makes it possible to publish filesystem
949
locations that don't exactly match URL paths. SmartServerRequest
950
subclasses should use the new ``translate_client_path`` and
951
``transport_from_client_path`` methods when dealing with paths received
952
from a client to take this into account. (Andrew Bennetts, #124089)
953
954
* ``bzr mv a b`` can be now used also to rename previously renamed
955
directories, not only files. (Lukáš Lalinský, #107967)
956
957
* ``bzr uncommit --local`` can now remove revisions from the local
958
branch to be symmetric with ``bzr commit --local``.
959
(John Arbash Meinel, #93412)
960
961
* Don't ask for a password if there is no real terminal.
962
(Alexander Belchenko, #69851)
963
964
* Fix a bug causing a ValueError crash in ``parse_line_delta_iter`` when
965
fetching revisions from a knit to pack repository or vice versa using
966
bzr:// (including over http or ssh).
967
(#208418, Andrew Bennetts, Martin Pool, Robert Collins)
968
969
* Fixed ``_get_line`` in ``bzrlib.smart.medium``, which was buggy. Also
970
fixed ``_get_bytes`` in the same module to use the push back buffer.
971
These bugs had no known impact in normal use, but were problematic for
972
developers working on the code, and were likely to cause real bugs sooner
973
or later. (Andrew Bennetts)
974
975
* Implement handling of basename parameter for DefaultMail. (James Westby)
976
977
* Incompatibility with Paramiko versions newer than 1.7.2 was fixed.
978
(Andrew Bennetts, #213425)
979
980
* Launchpad locations (lp: URLs) can be pulled. (Aaron Bentley, #181945)
981
982
* Merges that add files to deleted root directories complete. They
983
do create conflicts. (Aaron Bentley, #210092)
984
985
* vsftp's return ``550 RNFR command failed.`` supported.
986
(Marcus Trautwig, #129786)

DOCUMENTATION:
989
990
* Improved documentation on send/merge relationship. (Peter Schuller)
991
992
* Minor fixes to the User Guide. (Matthew Fuller)
993
994
* Reduced the evangelism in the User Guide. (Ian Clatworthy)
995
996
* Added Integrating with Bazaar document for developers (Martin Albisetti)
997
998
API BREAKS:
999
1000
* Attempting to pull data from a ghost aware repository (e.g. knits) into a
1001
non-ghost aware repository such as weaves will now fail if there are
1002
ghosts. (Robert Collins)
1003
1004
* ``KnitVersionedFile`` no longer accepts an ``access_mode`` parameter, and
1005
now requires the ``index`` and ``access_method`` parameters to be
1006
supplied. A compatible shim has been kept in the new function
1007
``knit.make_file_knit``. (Robert Collins)
1008
1009
* Log formatters must now provide log_revision instead of show and
1010
show_merge_revno methods. The latter had been deprecated since the 0.17
1011
release. (James Westby)
1012
1013
* ``LoopbackSFTP`` is now called ``SocketAsChannelAdapter``.
1014
(Andrew Bennetts)
1015
1016
* ``osutils.backup_file`` is removed. (Alexander Belchenko)
1017
1018
* ``Repository.get_revision_graph`` is deprecated, with no replacement
1019
method. The method was size(history) and not desirable. (Robert Collins)
1020
1021
* ``revision.revision_graph`` is deprecated, with no replacement function.
1022
The function was size(history) and not desirable. (Robert Collins)
1023
1024
* ``Transport.get_shared_medium`` is deprecated. Use
1025
``Transport.get_smart_medium`` instead. (Andrew Bennetts)
1026
1027
* ``VersionedFile`` factories now accept a get_scope parameter rather
1028
than using a call to ``transaction_finished``, allowing the removal of
1029
the fixed list of versioned files per repository. (Robert Collins)
1030
1031
* ``VersionedFile.annotate_iter`` is deprecated. While in principle this
1032
allowed lower memory use, all users of annotations wanted full file
1033
annotations, and there is no storage format suitable for incremental
1034
line-by-line annotation. (Robert Collins)
1035
1036
* ``VersionedFile.clone_text`` is deprecated. This performance optimisation
1037
is no longer used - reading the content of a file that is undergoing a
1038
file level merge to identical state on two branches is rare enough, and
1039
not expensive enough to special case. (Robert Collins)
1040
1041
* ``VersionedFile.clear_cache`` and ``enable_cache`` are deprecated.
1042
These methods added significant complexity to the ``VersionedFile``
1043
implementation, but were only used for optimising fetches from knits -
1044
which can be done from outside the knit layer, or via a caching
1045
decorator. As knits are not the default format, the complexity is no
1046
longer worth paying. (Robert Collins)
1047
1048
* ``VersionedFile.create_empty`` is removed. This method presupposed a
1049
sensible mapping to a transport for individual files, but pack backed
1050
versioned files have no such mapping. (Robert Collins)
1051
1052
* ``VersionedFile.get_graph`` is deprecated, with no replacement method.
1053
The method was size(history) and not desirable. (Robert Collins)
1054
1055
* ``VersionedFile.get_graph_with_ghosts`` is deprecated, with no
1056
replacement method. The method was size(history) and not desirable.
1057
(Robert Collins)
1058
1059
* ``VersionedFile.get_parents`` is deprecated, please use
1060
``VersionedFile.get_parent_map``. (Robert Collins)
1061
1062
* ``VersionedFile.get_sha1`` is deprecated, please use
1063
``VersionedFile.get_sha1s``. (Robert Collins)
1064
1065
* ``VersionedFile.has_ghost`` is now deprecated, as it is both expensive
1066
and unused outside of a single test. (Robert Collins)
1067
1068
* ``VersionedFile.iter_parents`` is now deprecated in favour of
1069
``get_parent_map`` which can be used to instantiate a Graph on a
1070
VersionedFile. (Robert Collins)
1071
1072
* ``VersionedFileStore`` no longer uses the transaction parameter given
1073
to most methods; amongst other things this means that the
1074
get_weave_or_empty method no longer guarantees errors on a missing weave
1075
in a readonly transaction, and no longer caches versioned file instances
1076
which reduces memory pressure (but requires more careful management by
1077
callers to preserve performance). (Robert Collins)
1078
1079
TESTING:
1080
1081
* New -Dselftest_debug flag disables clearing of the debug flags during
1082
tests. This is useful if you want to use e.g. -Dhpss to help debug a
1083
failing test. Be aware that using this feature is likely to cause
1084
spurious test failures if used with the full suite. (Andrew Bennetts)
1085
1086
* selftest --load-list now uses a new more agressive test loader that will
1087
avoid loading unneeded modules and building their tests. Plugins can use
1088
this new loader by defining a load_tests function instead of a test_suite
1089
function. (a forthcoming patch will provide many examples on how to
1090
implement this).
1091
(Vincent Ladeuil)
1092
1093
* selftest --load-list now does some sanity checks regarding duplicate test
1094
IDs and tests present in the list but not found in the actual test suite.
1095
(Vincent Ladeuil)
1096
1097
* Slightly more concise format for the selftest progress bar, so there's
1098
more space to show the test name. (Martin Pool) ::
1099
1100
[2500/10884, 1fail, 3miss in 1m29s] test_revisionnamespaces.TestRev
1101
1102
* The test suite takes much less memory to run, and is a bit faster. This
1103
is done by clearing most attributes of TestCases after running them, if
1104
they succeeded. (Andrew Bennetts)
1105
1106
INTERNALS:
1107
1108
* Added ``_build_client_protocol`` to ``_SmartClient``. (Andrew Bennetts)
1109
1110
* Added basic infrastructure for automatic plugin suggestion.
1111
(Martin Albisetti)
1112
1113
* If a ``LockableFiles`` object is not explicitly unlocked (for example
1114
because of a missing ``try/finally`` block, it will give a warning but
1115
not automatically unlock itself. (Previously they did.) This
1116
sometimes caused knock-on errors if for example the network connection
1117
had already failed, and should not be relied upon by code.
1118
(Martin Pool, #109520)
1119
1120
* ``make dist`` target to build a release tarball, and also
1121
``check-dist-tarball`` and ``dist-upload-escudero``. (Martin Pool)
1122
1123
* The ``read_response_tuple`` method of ``SmartClientRequestProtocol*``
1124
classes will now raise ``UnknownSmartMethod`` when appropriate, so that
1125
callers don't need to try distinguish unknown request errors from other
1126
errors. (Andrew Bennetts)
1127
1128
* ``set_make_working_trees`` is now implemented provided on all repository
1129
implementations (Aaron Bentley)
1130
1131
* ``VersionedFile`` now has a new method ``get_parent_map`` which, like
1132
``Graph.get_parent_map`` returns a dict of key:parents. (Robert Collins)

1153
------------------
1154
1155
Bazaar has become part of the GNU project <http://www.gnu.org>
1156
1157
Many operations that act on history, including ``log`` and ``annotate`` are now
1158
substantially faster. Several bugs have been fixed and several new options and
1159
features have been added.
1160
1161
TESTING:
1162
1163

NOTES WHEN UPGRADING:
1172
1173
* The backup directory created by ``upgrade`` is now called
1174
``backup.bzr``, not ``.bzr.backup``. (Martin Albisetti)
1175
1176
CHANGES:
1177
1178
* A new repository format 'development' has been added. This format will
1179
represent the latest 'in-progress' format that the bzr developers are
1180
interested in getting early-adopter testing and feedback on.
1181
``doc/developers/development-repo.txt`` has detailed information.
1182
(Robert Collins)
1183
1184
* BZR_LOG environment variable controls location of .bzr.log trace file.
1185
User can suppress writing messages to .bzr.log by using '/dev/null'
1186
filename (on Linux) or 'NUL' (on Windows). If BZR_LOG variable
1187
is not defined but BZR_HOME is defined then default location
1188
for .bzr.log trace file is ``$BZR_HOME/.bzr.log``.
1189
(Alexander Belchenko)
1190
1191
* ``launchpad`` builtin plugin now shipped as separate part in standalone
1192
bzr.exe, installed to ``C:\Program Files\Bazaar\plugins`` directory,
1193
and standalone installer allows user to skip installation of this plugin.
1194
(Alexander Belchenko)
1195
1196
* Restore auto-detection of plink.exe on Windows. (Dmitry Vasiliev)
1197
1198
* Version number is now shown as "1.2" or "1.2pr2", without zeroed or
1199
missing final fields. (Martin Pool)
1200
1201
FEATURES:
1202
1203
* ``branch`` and ``checkout`` can hard-link working tree files, which is
1204
faster and saves space. (Aaron Bentley)
1205
1206
* ``bzr send`` will now also look at the ``child_submit_to`` setting in
1207
the submit branch to determine the email address to send to.
1208
(Jelmer Vernooij)
1209
1210
IMPROVEMENTS:
1211
1212
* BzrBranch._lefthand_history is faster on pack repos. (Aaron Bentley)
1213
1214
* Branch6.generate_revision_history is faster. (Aaron Bentley)
1215
1216
* Directory services can now be registered, allowing special URLs to be
1217
dereferenced into real URLs. This is a generalization and cleanup of
1218
the lp: transport lookup. (Aaron Bentley)
1219
1220
* Merge directives that are automatically attached to emails have nicer
1221
filenames, based on branch-nick + revno. (Aaron Bentley)
1222
1223
* ``push`` has a ``--revision`` option, to specify what revision to push up
1224
to. (Daniel Watkins)
1225
1226
* Significantly reducing execution time and network traffic for trivial
1227
case of running ``bzr missing`` command for two identical branches.
1228
(Alexander Belchenko)
1229
1230
* Speed up operations that look at the revision graph (such as 'bzr log').
1231
``KnitPackRepositor.get_revision_graph`` uses ``Graph.iter_ancestry`` to
1232
extract the revision history. This allows filtering ghosts while
1233
stepping instead of needing to peek ahead. (John Arbash Meinel)
1234
1235
* The ``hooks`` command lists installed hooks, to assist in debugging.
1236
(Daniel Watkins)
1237
1238
* Updates to how ``annotate`` work. Should see a measurable improvement in
1239
performance and memory consumption for file with a lot of merges.
1240
Also, correctly handle when a line is introduced by both parents (it
1241
should be attributed to the first merge which notices this, and not
1242
to all subsequent merges.) (John Arbash Meinel)
1243
1244
BUGFIXES:
1245
1246
* Autopacking no longer holds the full set of inventory lines in
1247
memory while copying. For large repositories, this can amount to
1248
hundreds of MB of ram consumption.
1249
(Ian Clatworthy, John Arbash Meinel)
1250
1251
* Cherrypicking when using ``--format=merge3`` now explictly excludes
1252
BASE lines. (John Arbash Meinel, #151731)
1253
1254
* Disable plink's interactive prompt for password.
1255
(#107593, Dmitry Vasiliev)
1256
1257
* Encode command line arguments from unicode to user_encoding before
1258
invoking external mail client in `bzr send` command.
1259
(#139318, Alexander Belchenko)
1260
1261
* Fixed problem connecting to ``bzr+https://`` servers.
1262
(#198793, John Ferlito)
1263
1264
* Improved error reporting in the Launchpad plugin. (Daniel Watkins,
1265
#196618)
1266
1267
* Include quick-start-summary.svg file to python-based installer(s)
1268
for Windows. (#192924, Alexander Belchenko)
1269
1270
* lca merge now respects specified files. (Aaron Bentley)
1271
1272
* Make version-info --custom imply --all. (#195560, James Westby)
1273
1274
* ``merge --preview`` now works for merges that add or modify
1275
symlinks (James Henstridge)
1276
1277
* Redirecting the output from ``bzr merge`` (when the remembered
1278
location is used) now works. (John Arbash Meinel)
1279
1280
* setup.py script explicitly checks for Python version.
1281
(Jari Aalto, Alexander Belchenko, #200569)
1282
1283
* UnknownFormatErrors no longer refer to branches regardless of kind of
1284
unknown format. (Daniel Watkins, #173980)
1285
1286
* Upgrade bundled ConfigObj to version 4.5.2, which properly quotes #
1287
signs, among other small improvements. (Matt Nordhoff, #86838)
1288
1289
* Use correct indices when emitting LCA conflicts. This fixes IndexError
1290
errors. (Aaron Bentley, #196780)
1291
1292
DOCUMENTATION:

1297
API BREAKS:
1298
1299
* Support for loading plugins from zip files and
1300
``bzrlib.plugin.load_from_zip()`` function are deprecated.
1301
(Alexander Belchenko)
1302
1303
TESTING:
1304
1305
* Added missing blackbox tests for ``modified`` (Adrian Wilkins)
1306
1307
* The branch interface tests were invalid for branches using rich-root
1308
repositories because the empty string is not a valid file-id.
1309
(Robert Collins)
1310
1311
INTERNALS:
1312
1313
* ``Graph.iter_ancestry`` returns the ancestry of revision ids. Similar to
1314
``Repository.get_revision_graph()`` except it includes ghosts and you can
1315
stop part-way through. (John Arbash Meinel)
1316
1317
* New module ``tools/package_mf.py`` provide custom module finder for
1318
python packages (improves standard python library's modulefinder.py)
1319
used by ``setup.py`` script while building standalone bzr.exe.
1320
(Alexander Belchenko)
1321
1322
* New remote method ``RemoteBzrDir.find_repositoryV2`` adding support for
1323
detecting external lookup support on remote repositories. This method is
1324
now attempted first when lookup up repositories, leading to an extra
1325
round trip on older bzr smart servers. (Robert Collins)
1326
1327
* Repository formats have a new supported-feature attribute
1328
``supports_external_lookups`` used to indicate repositories which support
1329
falling back to other repositories when they have partial data.
1330
(Robert Collins)
1331
1332
* ``Repository.get_revision_graph_with_ghosts`` and
1333
``bzrlib.revision.(common_ancestor,MultipleRevisionSources,common_graph)``
1334
have been deprecated. (John Arbash Meinel)
1335
1336
* ``Tree.iter_changes`` is now a public API, replacing the work-in-progress
1337
``Tree._iter_changes``. The api is now considered stable and ready for
1338
external users. (Aaron Bentley)
1339
1340
* The bzrdir format registry now accepts an ``alias`` keyword to
1341
register_metadir, used to indicate that a format name is an alias for
1342
some other format and thus should not be reported when describing the
1343
format. (Robert Collins)

NOTES WHEN UPGRADING:
1358
1359
* Fetching via the smart protocol may need to reconnect once during a fetch
1360
if the remote server is running Bazaar 1.1 or earlier, because the client
1361
attempts to use more efficient requests that confuse older servers. You
1362
may be required to re-enter a password or passphrase when this happens.
1363
This won't happen if the server is upgraded to Bazaar 1.2.
1364
(Andrew Bennetts)
1365
1366
CHANGES:
1367
1368
* Fetching via bzr+ssh will no longer fill ghosts by default (this is
1369
consistent with pack-0.92 fetching over SFTP). (Robert Collins)
1370
1371
* Formatting of ``bzr plugins`` output is changed to be more human-
1372
friendly. Full path of plugins locations will be shown only with
1373
``--verbose`` command-line option. (Alexander Belchenko)
1374
1375
* ``merge`` now prefers to use the submit branch, but will fall back to
1376
parent branch. For many users, this has no effect. But some users who
1377
pull and merge on the same branch will notice a change. This change
1378
makes it easier to work on a branch on two different machines, pulling
1379
between the machines, while merging from the upstream.
1380
``merge --remember`` can now be used to set the submit_branch.
1381
(Aaron Bentley)
1382
1383
FEATURES:
1384
1385
* ``merge --preview`` produces a diff of the changes merge would make,
1386
but does not actually perform the merge. (Aaron Bentley)
1387
1388
* New smart method ``Repository.get_parent_map`` for getting revision
1389
parent data. This returns additional parent information topologically
1390
adjacent to the requested data to reduce round trip latency impacts.
1391
(Robert Collins)
1392
1393
* New smart method, ``Repository.stream_revisions_chunked``, for fetching
1394
revision data that streams revision data via a chunked encoding. This
1395
avoids buffering large amounts of revision data on the server and on the
1396
client, and sends less data to the server to request the revisions.
1397
(Andrew Bennetts, Robert Collins, #178353)
1398
1399
* The launchpad plugin now handles lp urls of the form
1400
``lp://staging/``, ``lp://demo/``, ``lp://dev/`` to use the appropriate
1401
launchpad instance to do the resolution of the branch identities.
1402
This is primarily of use to Launchpad developers, but can also
1403
be used by other users who want to try out Launchpad as
1404
a branch location without messing up their public Launchpad
1405
account. Branches that are pushed to the staging environment
1406
have an expected lifetime of one day. (Tim Penhey)
1407
1408
IMPROVEMENTS:
1409
1410
* Creating a new branch no longer tries to read the entire revision-history
1411
unnecessarily over smart server operations. (Robert Collins)
1412
1413
* Fetching between different repository formats with compatible models now
1414
takes advantage of the smart method to stream revisions. (Andrew Bennetts)
1415
1416
* The ``--coverage`` option is now global, rather specific to ``bzr
1417
selftest``. (Andrew Bennetts)
1418
1419
* The ``register-branch`` command will now use the public url of the branch
1420
containing the current directory, if one has been set and no explicit
1421
branch is provided. (Robert Collins)
1422
1423
* Tweak the ``reannotate`` code path to optimize the 2-parent case.
1424
Speeds up ``bzr annotate`` with a pack repository by approx 3:2.
1425
(John Arbash Meinel)
1426
1427
BUGFIXES:
1428
1429
* Calculate remote path relative to the shared medium in _SmartClient. This
1430
is related to the problem in bug #124089. (Andrew Bennetts)
1431
1432
* Cleanly handle connection errors in smart protocol version two, the same
1433
way as they are handled by version one. (Andrew Bennetts)
1434
1435
* Clearer error when ``version-info --custom`` is used without
1436
``--template`` (Lukáš Lalinský)
1437
1438
* Don't raise UnavailableFeature during test setup when medusa is not
1439
available or tearDown is never called leading to nasty side effects.
1440
(#137823, Vincent Ladeuil)
1441
1442
* If a plugin's test suite cannot be loaded, for example because of a syntax
1443
error in the tests, then ``selftest`` fails, rather than just printing
1444
a warning. (Martin Pool, #189771)
1445
1446
* List possible values for BZR_SSH environment variable in env-variables
1447
help topic. (Alexander Belchenko, #181842)
1448
1449
* New methods ``push_log_file`` and ``pop_log_file`` to intercept messages:
1450
popping the log redirection now precisely restores the previous state,
1451
which makes it easier to use bzr log output from other programs.
1452
TestCaseInTempDir no longer depends on a log redirection being established
1453
by the test framework, which lets bzr tests cleanly run from a normal
1454
unittest runner.
1455
(#124153, #124849, Martin Pool, Jonathan Lange)
1456
1457
* ``pull --quiet`` is now more quiet, in particular a message is no longer
1458
printed when the remembered pull location is used. (James Westby,
1459
#185907)
1460
1461
* ``reconfigure`` can safely be interrupted while fetching.
1462
(Aaron Bentley, #179316)
1463
1464
* ``reconfigure`` preserves tags when converting to and from lightweight
1465
checkouts. (Aaron Bentley, #182040)
1466
1467
* Stop polluting /tmp when running selftest.
1468
(Vincent Ladeuil, #123623)
1469
1470
* Switch from NFKC => NFC for normalization checks. NFC allows a few
1471
more characters which should be considered valid.
1472
(John Arbash Meinel, #185458)
1473
1474
* The launchpad plugin now uses the ``edge`` xmlrpc server to avoid
1475
interacting badly with a bug on the launchpad side. (Robert Collins)
1476
1477
* Unknown hostnames when connecting to a ``bzr://`` URL no longer cause
1478
tracebacks. (Andrew Bennetts, #182849)
1479
1480
API BREAKS:
1481
1482
* Classes implementing Merge types like Merge3Merger must now accept (and
1483
honour) a do_merge flag in their constructor. (Aaron Bentley)
1484
1485
* ``Repository.add_inventory`` and ``add_revision`` now require the caller
1486
to previously take a write lock (and start a write group.)
1487
(Martin Pool)
1488
1489
TESTING:
1490
1491
* selftest now accepts --load-list <file> to load a test id list. This
1492
speeds up running the test suite on a limited set of tests.
1493
(Vincent Ladeuil)
1494
1495
INTERNALS:
1496
1497
* Add a new method ``get_result`` to graph search objects. The resulting
1498
``SearchResult`` can be used to recreate the search later, which will
1499
be useful in reducing network traffic. (Robert Collins)
1500
1501
* Use convenience function to check whether two repository handles
1502
are referring to the same repository in ``Repository.get_graph``.
1503
(Jelmer Vernooij, #187162)
1504
1505
* Fetching now passes the find_ghosts flag through to the
1506
``InterRepository.missing_revision_ids`` call consistently for all
1507
repository types. This will enable faster missing revision discovery with
1508
bzr+ssh. (Robert Collins)
1509
1510
* Fix error handling in Repository.insert_data_stream. (Lukas Lalinsky)
1511
1512
* ``InterRepository.missing_revision_ids`` is now deprecated in favour of
1513
``InterRepository.search_missing_revision_ids`` which returns a
1514
``bzrlib.graph.SearchResult`` suitable for making requests from the smart
1515
server. (Robert Collins)
1516
1517
* New error ``NoPublicBranch`` for commands that need a public branch to
1518
operate. (Robert Collins)
1519
1520
* New method ``iter_inventories`` on Repository for access to many
1521
inventories. This is primarily used by the ``revision_trees`` method, as
1522
direct access to inventories is discouraged. (Robert Collins)
1523
1524
* New method ``next_with_ghosts`` on the Graph breadth-first-search objects
1525
which will split out ghosts and present parents into two separate sets,
1526
useful for code which needs to be aware of ghosts (e.g. fetching data
1527
cares about ghosts during revision selection). (Robert Collins)
1528
1529
* Record a timestamp against each mutter to the trace file, relative to the
1530
first import of bzrlib. (Andrew Bennetts)
1531
1532
* ``Repository.get_data_stream`` is now deprecated in favour of
1533
``Repository.get_data_stream_for_search`` which allows less network
1534
traffic when requesting data streams over a smart server. (Robert Collins)
1535
1536
* ``RemoteBzrDir._get_tree_branch`` no longer triggers ``_ensure_real``,
1537
removing one round trip on many network operations. (Robert Collins)
1538
1539
* RemoteTransport's ``recommended_page_size`` method now returns 64k, like
1540
SFTPTransport and HttpTransportBase. (Andrew Bennetts)
1541
1542
* Repository has a new method ``has_revisions`` which signals the presence
1543
of many revisions by returning a set of the revisions listed which are
1544
present. This can be done by index queries without reading data for parent
1545
revision names etc. (Robert Collins)

1552
1553
bzr 1.1rc1 2008-01-05
1554
---------------------
1555
1556
CHANGES:
1557
1558
* Dotted revision numbers have been revised. Instead of growing longer with
1559
nested branches the branch number just increases. (eg instead of 1.1.1.1.1
1560
we now report 1.2.1.) This helps scale long lived branches which have many
1561
feature branches merged between them. (John Arbash Meinel)
1562
1563
* The syntax ``bzr diff branch1 branch2`` is no longer supported.
1564
Use ``bzr diff branch1 --new branch2`` instead. This change has
1565
been made to remove the ambiguity where ``branch2`` is in fact a
1566
specific file to diff within ``branch1``.
1567
1568
FEATURES:
1569
1570
* New option to use custom template-based formats in ``bzr version-info``.
1571
(Lukáš Lalinský)
1572
1573
* diff '--using' allows an external diff tool to be used for files.
1574
(Aaron Bentley)
1575
1576
* New "lca" merge-type for fast everyday merging that also supports
1577
criss-cross merges. (Aaron Bentley)
1578
1579
IMPROVEMENTS:
1580
1581
* ``annotate`` now doesn't require a working tree. (Lukáš Lalinský,
1582
#90049)
1583
1584
* ``branch`` and ``checkout`` can now use files from a working tree to
1585
to speed up the process. For checkout, this requires the new
1586
--files-from flag. (Aaron Bentley)
1587
1588
* ``bzr diff`` now sorts files in alphabetical order. (Aaron Bentley)
1589
1590
* ``bzr diff`` now works on branches without working trees. Tree-less
1591
branches can also be compared to each other and to working trees using
1592
the new diff options ``--old`` and ``--new``. Diffing between branches,
1593
with or without trees, now supports specific file filtering as well.
1594
(Ian Clatworthy, #6700)
1595
1596
* ``bzr pack`` now orders revision texts in topological order, with newest
1597
at the start of the file, promoting linear reads for ``bzr log`` and the
1598
like. This partially fixes #154129. (Robert Collins)
1599
1600
* Merge directives now fetch prerequisites from the target branch if
1601
needed. (Aaron Bentley)
1602
1603
* pycurl now handles digest authentication.
1604
(Vincent Ladeuil)
1605
1606
* ``reconfigure`` can now convert from repositories. (Aaron Bentley)
1607
1608
* ``-l`` is now a short form for ``--limit`` in ``log``. (Matt Nordhoff)
1609
1610
* ``merge`` now warns when merge directives cause cherrypicks.
1611
(Aaron Bentley)
1612
1613
* ``split`` now supported, to enable splitting large trees into smaller
1614
pieces. (Aaron Bentley)
1615
1616
BUGFIXES:
1617
1618
* Avoid AttributeError when unlocking a pack repository when an error occurs.
1619
(Martin Pool, #180208)
1620
1621
* Better handle short reads when processing multiple range requests.
1622
(Vincent Ladeuil, #179368)
1623
1624
* build_tree acceleration uses the correct path when a file has been moved.
1625
(Aaron Bentley)
1626
1627
* ``commit`` now succeeds when a checkout and its master branch share a
1628
repository. (Aaron Bentley, #177592)
1629
1630
* Fixed error reporting of unsupported timezone format in
1631
``log --timezone``. (Lukáš Lalinský, #178722)
1632
1633
* Fixed Unicode encoding error in ``ignored`` when the output is
1634
redirected to a pipe. (Lukáš Lalinský)
1635
1636
* Fix traceback when sending large response bodies over the smart protocol
1637
on Windows. (Andrew Bennetts, #115781)
1638
1639
* Fix ``urlutils.relative_url`` for the case of two ``file:///`` URLs
1640
pointed to different logical drives on Windows.
1641
(Alexander Belchenko, #90847)
1642
1643
* HTTP test servers are now compatible with the http protocol version 1.1.
1644
(Vincent Ladeuil, #175524)
1645
1646
* _KnitParentsProvider.get_parent_map now handles requests for ghosts
1647
correctly, instead of erroring or attributing incorrect parents to ghosts.
1648
(Aaron Bentley)
1649
1650
* ``merge --weave --uncommitted`` now works. (Aaron Bentley)
1651
1652
* pycurl authentication handling was broken and incomplete. Fix handling of
1653
user:pass embedded in the urls.
1654
(Vincent Ladeuil, #177643)
1655
1656
* Files inside non-directories are now handled like other conflict types.
1657
(Aaron Bentley, #177390)
1658
1659
* ``reconfigure`` is able to convert trees into lightweight checkouts.
1660
(Aaron Bentley)
1661
1662
* Reduce lockdir timeout to 0 when running ``bzr serve``. (Andrew Bennetts,
1663
#148087)
1664
1665
* Test that the old ``version_info_format`` functions still work, even
1666
though they are deprecated. (John Arbash Meinel, ShenMaq, #177872)
1667
1668
* Transform failures no longer cause ImmortalLimbo errors (Aaron Bentley,
1669
#137681)
1670
1671
* ``uncommit`` works even when the commit messages of revisions to be
1672
removed use characters not supported in the terminal encoding.
1673
(Aaron Bentley)
1674
1675
* When dumb http servers return whole files instead of the requested ranges,
1676
read the remaining bytes by chunks to avoid overflowing network buffers.
1677
(Vincent Ladeuil, #175886)
1678
1679
DOCUMENTATION:
1680
1681
* Minor tweaks made to the bug tracker integration documentation.
1682
(Ian Clatworthy)
1683
1684
* Reference material has now be moved out of the User Guide and added
1685
to the User Reference. The User Reference has gained 4 sections as
1686
a result: Authenication Settings, Configuration Settings, Conflicts
1687
and Hooks. All help topics are now dumped into text format in the
1688
doc/en/user-reference directory for those who like browsing that
1689
information in their editor. (Ian Clatworthy)
1690
1691
* *Using Bazaar with Launchpad* tutorial added. (Ian Clatworthy)
1692
1693
INTERNALS:
1694
1695
* find_* methods available for BzrDirs, Branches and WorkingTrees.
1696

1697
1698
* Help topics can now be loaded from files.
1699
(Ian Clatworthy, Alexander Belchenko)
1700
1701
* get_parent_map now always provides tuples as its output. (Aaron Bentley)
1702
1703
* Parent Providers should now implement ``get_parent_map`` returning a
1704
dictionary instead of ``get_parents`` returning a list.
1705
``Graph.get_parents`` is now deprecated. (John Arbash Meinel,
1706
Robert Collins)
1707
1708
* Patience Diff now supports arbitrary python objects, as long as they
1709
support ``hash()``. (John Arbash Meinel)
1710
1711
* Reduce selftest overhead to establish test names by memoization.
1712
(Vincent Ladeuil)
1713
1714
API BREAKS:
1715
1716
TESTING:
1717
1718
* Modules can now customise their tests by defining a ``load_tests``
1719
attribute. ``pydoc bzrlib.tests.TestUtil.TestLoader.loadTestsFromModule``
1720
for the documentation on this attribute. (Robert Collins)
1721
1722
* New helper function ``bzrlib.tests.condition_id_re`` which helps
1723
filter tests based on a regular expression search on the tests id.
1724
(Robert Collins)
1725
1726
* New helper function ``bzrlib.tests.condition_isinstance`` which helps
1727
filter tests based on class. (Robert Collins)
1728
1729
* New helper function ``bzrlib.tests.exclude_suite_by_condition`` which
1730
generalises the ``exclude_suite_by_re`` function. (Robert Collins)
1731
1732
* New helper function ``bzrlib.tests.filter_suite_by_condition`` which
1733
generalises the ``filter_suite_by_re`` function. (Robert Collins)
1734
1735
* New helper method ``bzrlib.tests.exclude_tests_by_re`` which gives a new
1736
TestSuite that does not contain tests from the input that matched a
1737
regular expression. (Robert Collins)
1738
1739
* New helper method ``bzrlib.tests.randomize_suite`` which returns a
1740
randomized copy of the input suite. (Robert Collins)
1741
1742
* New helper method ``bzrlib.tests.split_suite_by_re`` which splits a test
1743
suite into two according to a regular expression. (Robert Collins)
1744
1745
* Parametrize all http tests for the transport implementations, the http
1746
protocol versions (1.0 and 1.1) and the authentication schemes.
1747
(Vincent Ladeuil)
1748
1749
* The ``exclude_pattern`` and ``random_order`` parameters to the function
1750
``bzrlib.tests.filter_suite_by_re`` have been deprecated. (Robert Collins)
1751
1752
* The method ``bzrlib.tests.sort_suite_by_re`` has been deprecated. It is
1753
replaced by the new helper methods added in this release. (Robert Collins)

BUGFIXES:
1784
1785
* Fix Makefile rules for doc generation. (Ian Clatworthy, #175207)
1786
1787
* Give more feedback during long http downloads by making readv deliver data
1788
as it arrives for urllib, and issue more requests for pycurl. High latency
1789
networks are better handled by urllib, the pycurl implementation give more
1790
feedback but also incur more latency.
1791
(Vincent Ladeuil, #173010)
1792

1821
* ``bzr commit`` now doesn't print the revision number twice. (Matt
1822
Nordhoff, #172612)
1823
1824
* New configuration option ``bugtracker_<tracker_abbrevation>_url`` to
1825
define locations of bug trackers that are not directly supported by
1826
bzr or a plugin. The URL will be treated as a template and ``{id}``
1827
placeholders will be replaced by specific bug IDs. (Lukáš Lalinský)
1828
1829
* Support logging single merge revisions with short and line log formatters.
1830

1831
1832
* User Guide enhanced with suggested readability improvements from
1833
Matt Revell and corrections from John Arbash Meinel. (Ian Clatworthy)
1834
1835
* Quick Start Guide renamed to Quick Start Card, moved down in
1836
the catalog, provided in pdf and png format and updated to refer
1837
to ``send`` instead of ``bundle``. (Ian Clatworthy, #165080)
1838
1839
* ``switch`` can now be used on heavyweight checkouts as well as
1840
lightweight ones. After switching a heavyweight checkout, the
1841
local branch is a mirror/cache of the new bound branch and
1842
uncommitted changes in the working tree are merged. As a safety
1843
check, if there are local commits in a checkout which have not
1844
been committed to the previously bound branch, then ``switch``
1845
fails unless the ``--force`` option is given. This option is
1846
now also required if the branch a lightweight checkout is pointing
1847
to has been moved. (Ian Clatworthy)

1862
filename to user.
1863
(Alexander Belchenko, #111758)
1864
1865
* Catch ShortReadvErrors while using pycurl. Also make readv more robust by
1866
allowing multiple GET requests to be issued if too many ranges are
1867
required.
1868
(Vincent Ladeuil, #172701)

1878
* Deprecate not passing a ``location`` argument to commit reporters'
1879
``started`` methods. (Matt Nordhoff)

---------------------
1884
1885
NOTES WHEN UPGRADING:
1886
1887
* The default repository format is now ``pack-0.92``. This
1888
default is used when creating new repositories with ``init`` and
1889
``init-repo``, and when branching over bzr+ssh or bzr+hpss.
1890
(See https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/164626)
1891
1892
This format can be read and written by Bazaar 0.92 and later, and
1893
data can be transferred to and from older formats.
1894
1895
To upgrade, please reconcile your repository (``bzr reconcile``), and then
1896
upgrade (``bzr upgrade``).
1897
1898
``pack-0.92`` offers substantially better scaling and performance than the
1899
previous knits format. Some operations are slower where the code already
1900
had bad scaling characteristics under knits, the pack format makes such
1901
operations more visible as part of being more scalable overall. We will
1902
correct such operations over the coming releases and encourage the filing
1903
of bugs on any operation which you observe to be slower in a packs
1904
repository. One particular case that we do not intend to fix is pulling
1905
data from a pack repository into a knit repository over a high latency
1906
link; downgrading such data requires reinsertion of the file texts, and
1907
this is a classic space/time tradeoff. The current implementation is
1908
conservative on memory usage because we need to support converting data
1909
from any tree without problems.

CHANGES:
1913
1914
* Disable detection of plink.exe as possible ssh vendor. Plink vendor
1915
still available if user selects it explicitly with BZR_SSH environment
1916
variable. (Alexander Belchenko, workaround for bug #107593)
1917
1918
* The pack format is now accessible as "pack-0.92", or "pack-0.92-subtree"
1919
to enable the subtree functions (for example, for bzr-svn).
1920
See http://doc.bazaar-vcs.org/latest/developer/packrepo.html
1921
(Martin Pool)
1922
1923
FEATURES:
1924
1925
* New ``authentication.conf`` file holding the password or other credentials
1926
for remote servers. This can be used for ssh, sftp, smtp and other
1927
supported transports.
1928
(Vincent Ladeuil)
1929
1930
* New rich-root and rich-root-pack formats, recording the same data about
1931
tree roots that's recorded for all other directories.
1932
(Aaron Bentley, #164639)
1933
1934
* ``pack-0.92`` repositories can now be reconciled.
1935
(Robert Collins, #154173)
1936
1937
* ``switch`` command added for changing the branch a lightweight checkout
1938
is associated with and updating the tree to reflect the latest content
1939
accordingly. This command was previously part of the BzrTools plug-in.
1940
(Ian Clatworthy, Aaron Bentley, David Allouche)
1941
1942
* ``reconfigure`` command can now convert branches, trees, or checkouts to
1943
lightweight checkouts. (Aaron Bentley)
1944
1945
PERFORMANCE:
1946
1947
* Commit updates the state of the working tree via a delta rather than
1948
supplying entirely new basis trees. For commit of a single specified file
1949
this reduces the wall clock time for commit by roughly a 30%.
1950
(Robert Collins, Martin Pool)
1951
1952
* Commit with many automatically found deleted paths no longer performs
1953
linear scanning for the children of those paths during inventory
1954
iteration. This should fix commit performance blowing out when many such
1955
paths occur during commit. (Robert Collins, #156491)
1956
1957
* Fetch with pack repositories will no longer read the entire history graph.
1958
(Robert Collins, #88319)
1959
1960
* Revert takes out an appropriate lock when reverting to a basis tree, and
1961
does not read the basis inventory twice. (Robert Collins)
1962
1963
* Diff does not require an inventory to be generated on dirstate trees.
1964
(Aaron Bentley, #149254)
1965
1966
* New annotate merge (--merge-type=weave) implementation is fast on
1967
versionedfiles withough cached annotations, e.g. pack-0.92.
1968
(Aaron Bentley)
1969
1970
IMPROVEMENTS:
1971
1972
* ``bzr merge`` now warns when it encounters a criss-cross merge.
1973
(Aaron Bentley)
1974
1975
* ``bzr send`` now doesn't require the target e-mail address to be
1976
specified on the command line if an interactive e-mail client is used.
1977
(Lukáš Lalinský)
1978
1979
* ``bzr tags`` now prints the revision number for each tag, instead of
1980
the revision id, unless --show-ids is passed. In addition, tags can be
1981
sorted chronologically instead of lexicographically with --sort=time.
1982
(Adeodato Simó, #120231)
1983
1984
* Windows standalone version of bzr is able to load system-wide plugins from
1985
"plugins" subdirectory in installation directory. In addition standalone
1986
installer write to the registry (HKLM\SOFTWARE\Bazaar) useful info
1987
about paths and bzr version. (Alexander Belchenko, #129298)

* A progress bar has been added for knitpack -> knitpack fetching.
1994
(Robert Collins, #157789, #159147)
1995
1996
* Branching from a branch via smart server now preserves the repository
1997
format. (Andrew Bennetts, #164626)
1998
1999
* ``commit`` is now able to invoke an external editor in a non-ascii
2000
directory. (Daniel Watkins, #84043)
2001
2002
* Catch connection errors for ftp.
2003
(Vincent Ladeuil, #164567)
2004
2005
* ``check`` no longer reports spurious unreferenced text versions.
2006
(Robert Collins, John A Meinel, #162931, #165071)
2007
2008
* Conflicts are now resolved recursively by ``revert``.

2011
* Detect invalid transport reuse attempts by catching invalid URLs.
2012
(Vincent Ladeuil, #161819)

* Deleting a file without removing it shows a correct diff, not a traceback.
2015
(Aaron Bentley)
2016
2017
* Do no use timeout in HttpServer anymore.
2018
(Vincent Ladeuil, #158972).
2019
2020
* Don't catch the exceptions related to the http pipeline status before
2021
retrying an http request or some programming errors may be masked.
2022
(Vincent Ladeuil, #160012)
2023
2024
* Fix ``bzr rm`` to not delete modified and ignored files.
2025
(Lukáš Lalinský, #172598)
2026
2027
* Fix exception when revisionspec contains merge revisons but log
2028
formatter doesn't support merge revisions. (Kent Gibson, #148908)
2029
2030
* Fix exception when ScopeReplacer is assigned to before any members have
2031
been retrieved. (Aaron Bentley)
2032
2033
* Fix multiple connections during checkout --lightweight.
2034
(Vincent Ladeuil, #159150)
2035
2036
* Fix possible error in insert_data_stream when copying between
2037
pack repositories over bzr+ssh or bzr+http.
2038
KnitVersionedFile.get_data_stream now makes sure that requested
2039
compression parents are sent before any delta hunks that depend
2040
on them.
2041
(Martin Pool, #164637)
2042
2043
* Fix typo in limiting offsets coalescing for http, leading to
2044
whole files being downloaded instead of parts.
2045
(Vincent Ladeuil, #165061)
2046
2047
* FTP server errors don't error in the error handling code.
2048
(Robert Collins, #161240)
2049
2050
* Give a clearer message when a pull fails because the source needs
2051
to be reconciled.
2052
(Martin Pool, #164443)
2053
2054
* It is clearer when a plugin cannot be loaded because of its name, and a
2055
suggestion for an acceptable name is given. (Daniel Watkins, #103023)
2056
2057
* Leave port as None in transport objects if user doesn't
2058
specify a port in urls.
2059
(vincent Ladeuil, #150860)
2060
2061
* Make sure Repository.fetch(self) is properly a no-op for all
2062
Repository implementations. (John Arbash Meinel, #158333)
2063
2064
* Mark .bzr directories as "hidden" on Windows.
2065
(Alexander Belchenko, #71147)
2066
2067
* ``merge --uncommitted`` can now operate on a single file.
2068
(Aaron Bentley, Lukáš Lalinský, #136890)
2069
2070
* Obsolete packs are now cleaned up by pack and autopack operations.
2071
(Robert Collins, #153789)
2072
2073
* Operations pulling data from a smart server where the underlying
2074
repositories are not both annotated/both unannotated will now work.
2075
(Robert Collins, #165304).
2076
2077
* Reconcile now shows progress bars. (Robert Collins, #159351)
2078
2079
* ``RemoteBranch`` was not initializing ``self._revision_id_to_revno_map``
2080
properly. (John Arbash Meinel, #162486)
2081
2082
* Removing an already-removed file reports the file does not exist. (Daniel
2083
Watkins, #152811)
2084
2085
* Rename on Windows is able to change filename case.
2086
(Alexander Belchenko, #77740)
2087
2088
* Return error instead of a traceback for ``bzr log -r0``.
2089
(Kent Gibson, #133751)
2090
2091
* Return error instead of a traceback when bzr is unable to create
2092
symlink on some platforms (e.g. on Windows).
2093
(Alexander Belchenko, workaround for #81689)
2094
2095
* Revert doesn't crash when restoring a single file from a deleted
2096
directory. (Aaron Bentley)
2097
2098
* Stderr output via logging mechanism now goes through encoded wrapper
2099
and no more uses utf-8, but terminal encoding instead. So all unicode
2100
strings now should be readable in non-utf-8 terminal.
2101
(Alexander Belchenko, #54173)
2102
2103
* The error message when ``move --after`` should be used makes how to do so
2104
clearer. (Daniel Watkins, #85237)
2105
2106
* Unicode-safe output from ``bzr info``. The output will be encoded
2107
using the terminal encoding and unrepresentable characters will be
2108
replaced by '?'. (Lukáš Lalinský, #151844)
2109
2110
* Working trees are no longer created when pushing into a local no-trees
2111
repo. (Daniel Watkins, #50582)
2112
2113
* Upgrade util/configobj to version 4.4.0.
2114
(Vincent Ladeuil, #151208).
2115
2116
* Wrap medusa ftp test server as an FTPServer feature.
2117
(Vincent Ladeuil, #157752)
2118
2119
API BREAKS:
2120
2121
* ``osutils.backup_file`` is deprecated. Actually it's not used in bzrlib
2122
during very long time. (Alexander Belchenko)
2123
2124
* The return value of
2125
``VersionedFile.iter_lines_added_or_present_in_versions`` has been
2126
changed. Previously it was an iterator of lines, now it is an iterator of
2127
(line, version_id) tuples. This change has been made to aid reconcile and
2128
fetch operations. (Robert Collins)
2129
2130
* ``bzrlib.repository.get_versioned_file_checker`` is now private.
2131
(Robert Collins)
2132
2133
* The Repository format registry default has been removed; it was previously
2134
obsoleted by the bzrdir format default, which implies a default repository
2135
format.
2136
(Martin Pool)
2137
2138
INTERNALS:
2139
2140
* Added ``ContainerSerialiser`` and ``ContainerPushParser`` to
2141
``bzrlib.pack``. These classes provide more convenient APIs for generating
2142
and parsing containers from streams rather than from files. (Andrew
2143
Bennetts)
2144
2145
* New module ``lru_cache`` providing a cache for use by tasks that need
2146
semi-random access to large amounts of data. (John A Meinel)
2147
2148
* InventoryEntry.diff is now deprecated. Please use diff.DiffTree instead.

2164
NOTES WHEN UPGRADING:
2165
2166
CHANGES:
2167
2168
* ``bzr`` now returns exit code 4 if an internal error occurred, and
2169
3 if a normal error occurred. (Martin Pool)
2170
2171
* ``pull``, ``merge`` and ``push`` will no longer silently correct some
2172
repository index errors that occured as a result of the Weave disk format.
2173
Instead the ``reconcile`` command needs to be run to correct those
2174
problems if they exist (and it has been able to fix most such problems
2175
since bzr 0.8). Some new problems have been identified during this release
2176
and you should run ``bzr check`` once on every repository to see if you
2177
need to reconcile. If you cannot ``pull`` or ``merge`` from a remote
2178
repository due to mismatched parent errors - a symptom of index errors -
2179
you should simply take a full copy of that remote repository to a clean
2180
directory outside any local repositories, then run reconcile on it, and
2181
finally pull from it locally. (And naturally email the repositories owner
2182
to ask them to upgrade and run reconcile).
2183
(Robert Collins)
2184
2185
FEATURES:
2186
2187
* New ``knitpack-experimental`` repository format. This is interoperable with
2188
the ``dirstate-tags`` format but uses a smarter storage design that greatly
2189
speeds up many operations, both local and remote. This new format can be
2190
used as an option to the ``init``, ``init-repository`` and ``upgrade``
2191
commands. See http://doc.bazaar-vcs.org/0.92/developers/knitpack.html
2192
for further details. (Robert Collins)
2193
2194
* For users of bzr-svn (and those testing the prototype subtree support) that
2195
wish to try packs, a new ``knitpack-subtree-experimental`` format has also
2196
been added. This is interoperable with the ``dirstate-subtrees`` format.
2197
(Robert Collins)
2198
2199
* New ``reconfigure`` command. (Aaron Bentley)
2200
2201
* New ``revert --forget-merges`` command, which removes the record of a pending
2202
merge without affecting the working tree contents. (Martin Pool)
2203
2204
* New ``bzr_remote_path`` configuration variable allows finer control of
2205
remote bzr locations than BZR_REMOTE_PATH environment variable.
2206
(Aaron Bentley)
2207
2208
* New ``launchpad-login`` command to tell Bazaar your Launchpad
2209
user ID. This can then be used by other functions of the
2210
Launchpad plugin. (James Henstridge)
2211
2212
PERFORMANCE:
2213
2214
* Commit in quiet mode is now slightly faster as the information to
2215
output is no longer calculated. (Ian Clatworthy)
2216
2217
* Commit no longer checks for new text keys during insertion when the
2218
revision id was deterministically unique. (Robert Collins)
2219
2220
* Committing a change which is not a merge and does not change the number of
2221
files in the tree is faster by utilising the data about whether files are
2222
changed to determine if the tree is unchanged rather than recalculating
2223
it at the end of the commit process. (Robert Collins)
2224
2225
* Inventory serialisation no longer double-sha's the content.
2226
(Robert Collins)
2227
2228
* Knit text reconstruction now avoids making copies of the lines list for
2229
interim texts when building a single text. The new ``apply_delta`` method
2230
on ``KnitContent`` aids this by allowing modification of the revision id
2231
such objects represent. (Robert Collins)
2232
2233
* Pack indices are now partially parsed for specific key lookup using a
2234
bisection approach. (Robert Collins)
2235
2236
* Partial commits are now approximately 40% faster by walking over the
2237
unselected current tree more efficiently. (Robert Collins)
2238
2239
* XML inventory serialisation takes 20% less time while being stricter about
2240
the contents. (Robert Collins)
2241
2242
* Graph ``heads()`` queries have been fixed to no longer access all history
2243
unnecessarily. (Robert Collins)
2244
2245
IMPROVEMENTS:
2246
2247
* ``bzr+https://`` smart server across https now supported.
2248
(John Ferlito, Martin Pool, #128456)
2249
2250
* Mutt is now a supported mail client; set ``mail_client=mutt`` in your
2251
bazaar.conf and ``send`` will use mutt. (Keir Mierle)
2252
2253
* New option ``-c``/``--change`` for ``merge`` command for cherrypicking
2254
changes from one revision. (Alexander Belchenko, #141368)
2255
2256
* Show encodings, locale and list of plugins in the traceback message.
2257
(Martin Pool, #63894)
2258
2259
* Experimental directory formats can now be marked with
2260
``experimental = True`` during registration. (Ian Clatworthy)
2261
2262
DOCUMENTATION:
2263
2264
* New *Bazaar in Five Minutes* guide. (Matthew Revell)
2265
2266
* The hooks reference documentation is now converted to html as expected.
2267
(Ian Clatworthy)
2268
2269
BUG FIXES:
2270
2271
* Connection error reporting for the smart server has been fixed to
2272
display a user friendly message instead of a traceback.
2273
(Ian Clatworthy, #115601)
2274
2275
* Make sure to use ``O_BINARY`` when opening files to check their
2276
sha1sum. (Alexander Belchenko, John Arbash Meinel, #153493)
2277
2278
* Fix a problem with Win32 handling of the executable bit.
2279
(John Arbash Meinel, #149113)
2280
2281
* ``bzr+ssh://`` and ``sftp://`` URLs that do not specify ports explicitly
2282
no longer assume that means port 22. This allows people using OpenSSH to
2283
override the default port in their ``~/.ssh/config`` if they wish. This
2284
fixes a bug introduced in bzr 0.91. (Andrew Bennetts, #146715)
2285
2286
* Commands reporting exceptions can now be profiled and still have their
2287
data correctly dumped to a file. For example, a ``bzr commit`` with
2288
no changes still reports the operation as pointless but doing so no
2289
longer throws away the profiling data if this command is run with
2290
``--lsprof-file callgrind.out.ci`` say. (Ian Clatworthy)
2291
2292
* Fallback to ftp when paramiko is not installed and sftp can't be used for
2293
``tests/commands`` so that the test suite is still usable without
2294
paramiko.
2295
(Vincent Ladeuil, #59150)
2296
2297
* Fix commit ordering in corner case. (Aaron Bentley, #94975)
2298
2299
* Fix long standing bug in partial commit when there are renames
2300
left in tree. (Robert Collins, #140419)
2301
2302
* Fix selftest semi-random noise during http related tests.
2303
(Vincent Ladeuil, #140614)
2304
2305
* Fix typo in ftp.py making the reconnection fail on temporary errors.
2306
(Vincent Ladeuil, #154259)
2307
2308
* Fix failing test by comparing real paths to cover the case where the TMPDIR
2309
contains a symbolic link.
2310
(Vincent Ladeuil, #141382).
2311
2312
* Fix log against smart server branches that don't support tags.
2313
(James Westby, #140615)
2314
2315
* Fix pycurl http implementation by defining error codes from
2316
pycurl instead of relying on an old curl definition.
2317
(Vincent Ladeuil, #147530)
2318
2319
* Fix 'unprintable error' message when displaying BzrCheckError and
2320
some other exceptions on Python 2.5.
2321
(Martin Pool, #144633)
2322
2323
* Fix ``Inventory.copy()`` and add test for it. (Jelmer Vernooij)
2324
2325
* Handles default value for ListOption in cmd_commit.
2326
(Vincent Ladeuil, #140432)
2327
2328
* HttpServer and FtpServer need to be closed properly or a listening socket
2329
will remain opened.
2330
(Vincent Ladeuil, #140055)
2331
2332
* Monitor the .bzr directory created in the top level test
2333
directory to detect leaking tests.
2334
(Vincent Ladeuil, #147986)
2335
2336
* The basename, not the full path, is now used when checking whether
2337
the profiling dump file begins with ``callgrind.out`` or not. This
2338
fixes a bug reported by Aaron Bentley on IRC. (Ian Clatworthy)
2339
2340
* Trivial fix for invoking command ``reconfigure`` without arguments.
2341
(Rob Weir, #141629)
2342
2343
* ``WorkingTree.rename_one`` will now raise an error if normalisation of the
2344
new path causes bzr to be unable to access the file. (Robert Collins)
2345
2346
* Correctly detect a NoSuchFile when using a filezilla server. (Gary van der
2347
Merwe)
2348
2349
API BREAKS:
2350
2351
* ``bzrlib.index.GraphIndex`` now requires a size parameter to the
2352
constructor, for enabling bisection searches. (Robert Collins)
2353
2354
* ``CommitBuilder.record_entry_contents`` now requires the root entry of a
2355
tree be supplied to it, previously failing to do so would trigger a
2356
deprecation warning. (Robert Collins)
2357
2358
* ``KnitVersionedFile.add*`` will no longer cache added records even when
2359
enable_cache() has been called - the caching feature is now exclusively for
2360
reading existing data. (Robert Collins)
2361
2362
* ``ReadOnlyLockError`` is deprecated; ``LockFailed`` is usually more
2363
appropriate. (Martin Pool)
2364
2365
* Removed ``bzrlib.transport.TransportLogger`` - please see the new
2366
``trace+`` transport instead. (Robert Collins)
2367
2368
* Removed previously deprecated varargs interface to ``TestCase.run_bzr`` and
2369
deprecated methods ``TestCase.capture`` and ``TestCase.run_bzr_captured``.
2370
(Martin Pool)
2371
2372
* Removed previous deprecated ``basis_knit`` parameter to the
2373
``KnitVersionedFile`` constructor. (Robert Collins)
2374
2375
* Special purpose method ``TestCase.run_bzr_decode`` is moved to the test_non_ascii
2376
class that needs it.
2377
(Martin Pool)
2378
2379
* The class ``bzrlib.repofmt.knitrepo.KnitRepository3`` has been folded into
2380
``KnitRepository`` by parameters to the constructor. (Robert Collins)
2381
2382
* The ``VersionedFile`` interface now allows content checks to be bypassed
2383
by supplying check_content=False. This saves nearly 30% of the minimum
2384
cost to store a version of a file. (Robert Collins)
2385
2386
* Tree's with bad state such as files with no length or sha will no longer
2387
be silently accepted by the repository XML serialiser. To serialise
2388
inventories without such data, pass working=True to write_inventory.
2389
(Robert Collins)
2390
2391
* ``VersionedFile.fix_parents`` has been removed as a harmful API.
2392
``VersionedFile.join`` will no longer accept different parents on either
2393
side of a join - it will either ignore them, or error, depending on the
2394
implementation. See notes when upgrading for more information.
2395
(Robert Collins)
2396
2397
INTERNALS:
2398
2399
* ``bzrlib.transport.Transport.put_file`` now returns the number of bytes
2400
put by the method call, to allow avoiding stat-after-write or
2401
housekeeping in callers. (Robert Collins)
2402
2403
* ``bzrlib.xml_serializer.Serializer`` is now responsible for checking that
2404
mandatory attributes are present on serialisation and deserialisation.
2405
This fixes some holes in API usage and allows better separation between
2406
physical storage and object serialisation. (Robert Collins)
2407
2408
* New class ``bzrlib.errors.InternalBzrError`` which is just a convenient
2409
shorthand for deriving from BzrError and setting internal_error = True.
2410
(Robert Collins)
2411
2412
* New method ``bzrlib.mutabletree.update_to_one_parent_via_delta`` for
2413
moving the state of a parent tree to a new version via a delta rather than
2414
a complete replacement tree. (Robert Collins)
2415
2416
* New method ``bzrlib.osutils.minimum_path_selection`` useful for removing
2417
duplication from user input, when a user mentions both a path and an item
2418
contained within that path. (Robert Collins)
2419
2420
* New method ``bzrlib.repository.Repository.is_write_locked`` useful for
2421
determining if a repository is write locked. (Robert Collins)
2422
2423
* New method on ``bzrlib.tree.Tree`` ``path_content_summary`` provides a
2424
tuple containing the key information about a path for commit processing
2425
to complete. (Robert Collins)
2426
2427
* New method on xml serialisers, write_inventory_to_lines, which matches the
2428
API used by knits for adding content. (Robert Collins)
2429
2430
* New module ``bzrlib.bisect_multi`` with generic multiple-bisection-at-once
2431
logic, currently only available for byte-based lookup
2432
(``bisect_multi_bytes``). (Robert Collins)
2433
2434
* New helper ``bzrlib.tuned_gzip.bytes_to_gzip`` which takes a byte string
2435
and returns a gzipped version of the same. This is used to avoid a bunch
2436
of api friction during adding of knit hunks. (Robert Collins)
2437
2438
* New parameter on ``bzrlib.transport.Transport.readv``
2439
``adjust_for_latency`` which changes readv from returning strictly the
2440
requested data to inserted return larger ranges and in forward read order
2441
to reduce the effect of network latency. (Robert Collins)
2442
2443
* New parameter yield_parents on ``Inventory.iter_entries_by_dir`` which
2444
causes the parents of a selected id to be returned recursively, so all the
2445
paths from the root down to each element of selected_file_ids are
2446
returned. (Robert Collins)
2447
2448
* Knit joining has been enhanced to support plain to annotated conversion
2449
and annotated to plain conversion. (Ian Clatworthy)
2450
2451
* The CommitBuilder method ``record_entry_contents`` now returns summary
2452
information about the effect of the commit on the repository. This tuple
2453
contains an inventory delta item if the entry changed from the basis, and a
2454
boolean indicating whether a new file graph node was recorded.
2455
(Robert Collins)
2456
2457
* The python path used in the Makefile can now be overridden.
2458
(Andrew Bennetts, Ian Clatworthy)
2459
2460
TESTING:
2461
2462
* New transport implementation ``trace+`` which is useful for testing,
2463
logging activity taken to its _activity attribute. (Robert Collins)
2464
2465
* When running bzr commands within the test suite, internal exceptions are
2466
not caught and reported in the usual way, but rather allowed to propagate
2467
up and be visible to the test suite. A new API ``run_bzr_catch_user_errors``
2468
makes this behavior available to other users.
2469
(Martin Pool)
2470
2471
* New method ``TestCase.call_catch_warnings`` for testing methods that
2472
raises a Python warning. (Martin Pool)

bzr 0.91 2007-09-26
2476
-------------------
2477
2478
BUG FIXES:
2479
2480
* Print a warning instead of aborting the ``python setup.py install``
2481
process if building of a C extension is not possible.
2482
(Lukáš Lalinský, Alexander Belchenko)
2483
2484
* Fix commit ordering in corner case (Aaron Bentley, #94975)
2485
2486
* Fix ''bzr info bzr://host/'' and other operations on ''bzr://' URLs with
2487
an implicit port. We were incorrectly raising PathNotChild due to
2488
inconsistent treatment of the ''_port'' attribute on the Transport object.
2489
(Andrew Bennetts, #133965)
2490
2491
* Make RemoteRepository.sprout cope gracefully with servers that don't
2492
support the ``Repository.tarball`` request.
2493
(Andrew Bennetts)

2495
2496
bzr 0.91rc2 2007-09-11
2497
----------------------
2498
2499
* Replaced incorrect tarball for previous release; a debug statement was left
2500
in bzrlib/remote.py.

2504
----------------------
2505
2506
CHANGES:
2507
2508
* The default branch and repository format has changed to
2509
``dirstate-tags``, so tag commands are active by default.
2510
This format is compatible with Bazaar 0.15 and later.
2511
This incidentally fixes bug #126141.
2512
(Martin Pool)
2513
2514
* ``--quiet`` or ``-q`` is no longer a global option. If present, it
2515
must now appear after the command name. Scripts doing things like
2516
``bzr -q missing`` need to be rewritten as ``bzr missing -q``.
2517
(Ian Clatworthy)
2518
2519
FEATURES:
2520
2521
* New option ``--author`` in ``bzr commit`` to specify the author of the
2522
change, if it's different from the committer. ``bzr log`` and
2523
``bzr annotate`` display the author instead of the committer.
2524
(Lukáš Lalinský)
2525
2526
* In addition to global options and command specific options, a set of
2527
standard options are now supported. Standard options are legal for
2528
all commands. The initial set of standard options are:
2529
2530
* ``--help`` or ``-h`` - display help message
2531
* ``--verbose`` or ``-v`` - display additional information
2532
* ``--quiet`` or ``-q`` - only output warnings and errors.
2533
2534
Unlike global options, standard options can be used in aliases and
2535
may have command-specific help. (Ian Clatworthy)
2536
2537
* Verbosity level processing has now been unified. If ``--verbose``
2538
or ``-v`` is specified on the command line multiple times, the
2539
verbosity level is made positive the first time then increased.
2540
If ``--quiet`` or ``-q`` is specified on the command line
2541
multiple times, the verbosity level is made negative the first
2542
time then decreased. To get the default verbosity level of zero,
2543
either specify none of the above , ``--no-verbose`` or ``--no-quiet``.
2544
Note that most commands currently ignore the magnitude of the
2545
verbosity level but do respect *quiet vs normal vs verbose* when
2546
generating output. (Ian Clatworthy)
2547
2548
* ``Branch.hooks`` now supports ``pre_commit`` hook. The hook's signature
2549
is documented in BranchHooks constructor. (Nam T. Nguyen, #102747)
2550
2551
* New ``Repository.stream_knit_data_for_revisions`` request added to the
2552
network protocol for greatly reduced roundtrips when retrieving a set of
2553
revisions. (Andrew Bennetts)
2554
2555
BUG FIXES:
2556
2557
* ``bzr plugins`` now lists the version number for each plugin in square
2558
brackets after the path. (Robert Collins, #125421)
2559
2560
* Pushing, pulling and branching branches with subtree references was not
2561
copying the subtree weave, preventing the file graph from being accessed
2562
and causing errors in commits in clones. (Robert Collins)
2563
2564
* Suppress warning "integer argument expected, got float" from Paramiko,
2565
which sometimes caused false test failures. (Martin Pool)
2566
2567
* Fix bug in bundle 4 that could cause attempts to write data to wrong
2568
versionedfile. (Aaron Bentley)
2569
2570
* Diffs generated using "diff -p" no longer break the patch parser.
2571
(Aaron Bentley)
2572
2573
* get_transport treats an empty possible_transports list the same as a non-
2574
empty one. (Aaron Bentley)
2575
2576
* patch verification for merge directives is reactivated, and works with
2577
CRLF and CR files. (Aaron Bentley)
2578
2579
* Accept ..\ as a path in revision specifiers. This fixes for example
2580
"-r branch:..\other-branch" on Windows. (Lukáš Lalinský)
2581
2582
* ``BZR_PLUGIN_PATH`` may now contain trailing slashes.
2583
(Blake Winton, #129299)
2584
2585
* man page no longer lists hidden options (#131667, Aaron Bentley)
2586
2587
* ``uncommit --help`` now explains the -r option adequately. (Daniel
2588
Watkins, #106726)
2589
2590
* Error messages are now better formatted with parameters (such as
2591
filenames) quoted when necessary. This avoids confusion when directory
2592
names ending in a '.' at the end of messages were confused with a
2593
full stop that may or not have been there. (Daniel Watkins, #129791)
2594
2595
* Fix ``status FILE -r X..Y``. (Lukáš Lalinský)
2596
2597
* If a particular command is an alias, ``help`` will show the alias
2598
instead of claiming there is no help for said alias. (Daniel Watkins,
2599
#133548)
2600
2601
* TreeTransform-based operations, like pull, merge, revert, and branch,
2602
now roll back if they encounter an error. (Aaron Bentley, #67699)
2603
2604
* ``bzr commit`` now exits cleanly if a character unsupported by the
2605
current encoding is used in the commit message. (Daniel Watkins,
2606
#116143)
2607
2608
* bzr send uses default values for ranges when only half of an elipsis
2609
is specified ("-r..5" or "-r5.."). (#61685, Aaron Bentley)
2610
2611
* Avoid trouble when Windows ssh calls itself 'plink' but no plink
2612
binary is present. (Martin Albisetti, #107155)
2613
2614
* ``bzr remove`` should remove clean subtrees. Now it will remove (without
2615
needing ``--force``) subtrees that contain no files with text changes or
2616
modified files. With ``--force`` it removes the subtree regardless of
2617
text changes or unknown files. Directories with renames in or out (but
2618
not changed otherwise) will now be removed without needing ``--force``.
2619
Unknown ignored files will be deleted without needing ``--force``.
2620
(Marius Kruger, #111665)
2621
2622
* When two plugins conflict, the source of both the losing and now the
2623
winning definition is shown. (Konstantin Mikhaylov, #5454)
2624
2625
* When committing to a branch, the location being committed to is
2626
displayed. (Daniel Watkins, #52479)
2627
2628
* ``bzr --version`` takes care about encoding of stdout, especially
2629
when output is redirected. (Alexander Belchenko, #131100)
2630
2631
* Prompt for an ftp password if none is provided.
2632
(Vincent Ladeuil, #137044)
2633
2634
* Reuse bound branch associated transport to avoid multiple
2635
connections.
2636
(Vincent Ladeuil, #128076, #131396)
2637
2638
* Overwrite conflicting tags by ``push`` and ``pull`` if the
2639
``--overwrite`` option is specified. (Lukáš Lalinský, #93947)
2640
2641
* In checkouts, tags are copied into the master branch when created,
2642
changed or deleted, and are copied into the checkout when it is
2643
updated. (Martin Pool, #93856, #93860)
2644
2645
* Print a warning instead of aborting the ``python setup.py install``
2646
process if building of a C extension is not possible.
2647
(Lukáš Lalinský, Alexander Belchenko)
2648
2649
IMPROVEMENTS:
2650
2651
* Add the option "--show-diff" to the commit command in order to display
2652
the diff during the commit log creation. (Goffredo Baroncelli)
2653
2654
* ``pull`` and ``merge`` are much faster at installing bundle format 4.
2655
(Aaron Bentley)
2656
2657
* ``pull -v`` no longer includes deltas, making it much faster.
2658
(Aaron Bentley)
2659
2660
* ``send`` now sends the directive as an attachment by default.
2661
(Aaron Bentley, Lukáš Lalinský, Alexander Belchenko)
2662
2663
* Documentation updates (Martin Albisetti)
2664
2665
* Help on debug flags is now included in ``help global-options``.
2666
(Daniel Watkins, #124853)
2667
2668
* Parameters passed on the command line are checked to ensure they are
2669
supported by the encoding in use. (Daniel Watkins)
2670
2671
* The compression used within the bzr repository has changed from zlib
2672
level 9 to the zlib default level. This improves commit performance with
2673
only a small increase in space used (and in some cases a reduction in
2674
space). (Robert Collins)
2675
2676
* Initial commit no longer SHAs files twice and now reuses the path
2677
rather than looking it up again, making it faster.
2678
(Ian Clatworthy)
2679
2680
* New option ``-c``/``--change`` for ``diff`` and ``status`` to show
2681
changes in one revision. (Lukáš Lalinský)
2682
2683
* If versioned files match a given ignore pattern, a warning is now
2684
given. (Daniel Watkins, #48623)
2685
2686
* ``bzr status`` now has -S as a short name for --short and -V as a
2687
short name for --versioned. These have been added to assist users
2688
migrating from Subversion: ``bzr status -SV`` is now like
2689
``svn status -q``. (Daniel Watkins, #115990)
2690
2691
* Added C implementation of ``PatienceSequenceMatcher``, which is about
2692
10x faster than the Python version. This speeds up commands that
2693
need file diffing, such as ``bzr commit`` or ``bzr diff``.
2694
(Lukáš Lalinský)
2695
2696
* HACKING has been extended with a large section on core developer tasks.
2697
(Ian Clatworthy)
2698
2699
* Add ``branches`` and ``standalone-trees`` as online help topics and
2700
include them as Concepts within the User Reference.
2701
(Paul Moore, Ian Clatworthy)
2702
2703
* ``check`` can detect versionedfile parent references that are
2704
inconsistent with revision and inventory info, and ``reconcile`` can fix
2705
them. These faulty references were generated by 0.8-era releases,
2706
so repositories which were manipulated by old bzrs should be
2707
checked, and possibly reconciled ASAP. (Aaron Bentley, Andrew Bennetts)
2708
2709
API BREAKS:
2710
2711
* ``Branch.append_revision`` is removed altogether; please use
2712
``Branch.set_last_revision_info`` instead. (Martin Pool)
2713
2714
* CommitBuilder now advertises itself as requiring the root entry to be
2715
supplied. This only affects foreign repository implementations which reuse
2716
CommitBuilder directly and have changed record_entry_contents to require
2717
that the root not be supplied. This should be precisely zero plugins
2718
affected. (Robert Collins)
2719
2720
* The ``add_lines`` methods on ``VersionedFile`` implementations has changed
2721
its return value to include the sha1 and length of the inserted text. This
2722
allows the avoidance of double-sha1 calculations during commit.
2723
(Robert Collins)
2724
2725
* ``Transport.should_cache`` has been removed. It was not called in the
2726
previous release. (Martin Pool)
2727
2728
TESTING:
2729
2730
* Tests may now raise TestNotApplicable to indicate they shouldn't be
2731
run in a particular scenario. (Martin Pool)
2732
2733
* New function multiply_tests_from_modules to give a simpler interface
2734
to test parameterization. (Martin Pool, Robert Collins)
2735
2736
* ``Transport.should_cache`` has been removed. It was not called in the
2737
previous release. (Martin Pool)
2738
2739
* NULL_REVISION is returned to indicate the null revision, not None.
2740
(Aaron Bentley)
2741
2742
* Use UTF-8 encoded StringIO for log tests to avoid failures on
2743
non-ASCII committer names. (Lukáš Lalinský)
2744
2745
INTERNALS:
2746
2747
* ``bzrlib.plugin.all_plugins`` has been deprecated in favour of
2748
``bzrlib.plugin.plugins()`` which returns PlugIn objects that provide
2749
useful functionality for determining the path of a plugin, its tests, and
2750
its version information. (Robert Collins)
2751
2752
* Add the option user_encoding to the function 'show_diff_trees()'
2753
in order to move the user encoding at the UI level. (Goffredo Baroncelli)
2754
2755
* Add the function make_commit_message_template_encoded() and the function
2756
edit_commit_message_encoded() which handle encoded strings.
2757
This is done in order to mix the commit messages (which is a unicode
2758
string), and the diff which is a raw string. (Goffredo Baroncelli)
2759
2760
* CommitBuilder now defaults to using add_lines_with_ghosts, reducing
2761
overhead on non-weave repositories which don't require all parents to be
2762
present. (Robert Collins)
2763
2764
* Deprecated method ``find_previous_heads`` on
2765
``bzrlib.inventory.InventoryEntry``. This has been superseded by the use
2766
of ``parent_candidates`` and a separate heads check via the repository
2767
API. (Robert Collins)
2768
2769
* New trace function ``mutter_callsite`` will print out a subset of the
2770
stack to the log, which can be useful for gathering debug details.
2771
(Robert Collins)
2772
2773
* ``bzrlib.pack.ContainerWriter`` now tracks how many records have been
2774
added via a public attribute records_written. (Robert Collins)
2775
2776
* New method ``bzrlib.transport.Transport.get_recommended_page_size``.
2777
This provides a hint to users of transports as to the reasonable
2778
minimum data to read. In principle this can take latency and
2779
bandwidth into account on a per-connection basis, but for now it
2780
just has hard coded values based on the url. (e.g. http:// has a large
2781
page size, file:// has a small one.) (Robert Collins)
2782
2783
* New method on ``bzrlib.transport.Transport`` ``open_write_stream`` allows
2784
incremental addition of data to a file without requiring that all the
2785
data be buffered in memory. (Robert Collins)
2786
2787
* New methods on ``bzrlib.knit.KnitVersionedFile``:
2788
``get_data_stream(versions)``, ``insert_data_stream(stream)`` and
2789
``get_format_signature()``. These provide some infrastructure for
2790
efficiently streaming the knit data for a set of versions over the smart
2791
protocol.
2792
2793
* Knits with no annotation cache still produce correct annotations.
2794
(Aaron Bentley)

* Three new methods have been added to ``bzrlib.trace``:
2797
``set_verbosity_level``, ``get_verbosity_level`` and ``is_verbose``.
2798
``set_verbosity_level`` expects a numeric value: negative for quiet,
2799
zero for normal, positive for verbose. The size of the number can be
2800
used to determine just how quiet or verbose the application should be.
2801
The existing ``be_quiet`` and ``is_quiet`` routines have been
2802
integrated into this new scheme. (Ian Clatworthy)
2803
2804
* Options can now be delcared with a ``custom_callback`` parameter. If
2805
set, this routine is called after the option is processed. This feature
2806
is now used by the standard options ``verbose`` and ``quiet`` so that
2807
setting one implicitly resets the other. (Ian Clatworthy)
2808
2809
* Rather than declaring a new option from scratch in order to provide
2810
custom help, a centrally registered option can be decorated using the
2811
new ``bzrlib.Option.custom_help`` routine. In particular, this routine
2812
is useful when declaring better help for the ``verbose`` and ``quiet``
2813
standard options as the base definition of these is now more complex
2814
than before thanks to their use of a custom callback. (Ian Clatworthy)
2815
2816
* Tree._iter_changes(specific_file=[]) now iterates through no files,
2817
instead of iterating through all files. None is used to iterate through
2818
all files. (Aaron Bentley)
2819
2820
* WorkingTree.revert() now accepts None to revert all files. The use of
2821
[] to revert all files is deprecated. (Aaron Bentley)

-------------------
2826
2827
IMPROVEMENTS:
2828
2829
* Documentation is now organized into multiple directories with a level
2830
added for different languages or locales. Added the Mini Tutorial
2831
and Quick Start Summary (en) documents from the Wiki, improving the
2832
content and readability of the former. Formatted NEWS as Release Notes
2833
complete with a Table of Conents, one heading per release. Moved the
2834
Developer Guide into the main document catalog and provided a link
2835
from the developer document catalog back to the main one.

2839
API CHANGES:
2840
2841
* The static convenience method ``BzrDir.create_repository``
2842
is deprecated. Callers should instead create a ``BzrDir`` instance
2843
and call ``create_repository`` on that. (Martin Pool)
2844
2845
2846
bzr 0.90rc1 2007-08-14
2847
----------------------
2848
2849
BUGFIXES:
2850
2851
* ``bzr init`` should connect to the remote location one time only. We
2852
have been connecting several times because we forget to pass around the
2853
Transport object. This modifies ``BzrDir.create_branch_convenience``,
2854
so that we can give it the Transport we already have.
2855
(John Arbash Meinel, Vincent Ladeuil, #111702)
2856
2857
* Get rid of sftp connection cache (get rid of the FTP one too).
2858
(Vincent Ladeuil, #43731)
2859
2860
* bzr branch {local|remote} remote don't try to create a working tree
2861
anymore.
2862
(Vincent Ladeuil, #112173)
2863
2864
* All identified multiple connections for a single bzr command have been
2865
fixed. See bzrlib/tests/commands directory.
2866
(Vincent Ladeuil)
2867
2868
* ``bzr rm`` now does not insist on ``--force`` to delete files that
2869
have been renamed but not otherwise modified. (Marius Kruger,
2870
#111664)
2871
2872
* ``bzr selftest --bench`` no longer emits deprecation warnings
2873
(Lukáš Lalinský)
2874
2875
* ``bzr status`` now honours FILE parameters for conflict lists
2876
(Aaron Bentley, #127606)
2877
2878
* ``bzr checkout`` now honours -r when reconstituting a working tree.
2879
It also honours -r 0. (Aaron Bentley, #127708)
2880
2881
* ``bzr add *`` no more fails on Windows if working tree contains
2882
non-ascii file names. (Kuno Meyer, #127361)
2883
2884
* allow ``easy_install bzr`` runs without fatal errors.
2885
(Alexander Belchenko, #125521)
2886
2887
* Graph._filter_candidate_lca does not raise KeyError if a candidate
2888
is eliminated just before it would normally be examined. (Aaron Bentley)
2889
2890
* SMTP connection failures produce a nice message, not a traceback.
2891
(Aaron Bentley)
2892
2893
IMPROVEMENTS:
2894
2895
* Don't show "dots" progress indicators when run non-interactively, such
2896
as from cron. (Martin Pool)
2897
2898
* ``info`` now formats locations more nicely and lists "submit" and
2899
"public" branches (Aaron Bentley)
2900
2901
* New ``pack`` command that will trigger database compression within
2902
the repository (Robert Collins)
2903
2904
* Implement ``_KnitIndex._load_data`` in a pyrex extension. The pyrex
2905
version is approximately 2-3x faster at parsing a ``.kndx`` file.
2906
Which yields a measurable improvement for commands which have to
2907
read from the repository, such as a 1s => 0.75s improvement in
2908
``bzr diff`` when there are changes to be shown. (John Arbash Meinel)
2909
2910
* Merge is now faster. Depending on the scenario, it can be more than 2x
2911
faster. (Aaron Bentley)
2912
2913
* Give a clearer warning, and allow ``python setup.py install`` to
2914
succeed even if pyrex is not available.
2915
(John Arbash Meinel)
2916
2917
* ``DirState._read_dirblocks`` now has an optional Pyrex
2918
implementation. This improves the speed of any command that has to
2919
read the entire DirState. (``diff``, ``status``, etc, improve by
2920
about 10%).
2921
``bisect_dirblocks`` has also been improved, which helps all
2922
``_get_entry`` type calls (whenever we are searching for a
2923
particular entry in the in-memory DirState).
2924
(John Arbash Meinel)
2925
2926
* ``bzr pull`` and ``bzr push`` no longer do a complete walk of the
2927
branch revision history for ui display unless -v is supplied.
2928
(Robert Collins)
2929
2930
* ``bzr log -rA..B`` output shifted to the left margin if the log only
2931
contains merge revisions. (Kent Gibson)
2932
2933
* The ``plugins`` command is now public with improved help.
2934
(Ian Clatworthy)
2935
2936
* New bundle and merge directive formats are faster to generate, and
2937
2938
* Annotate merge now works when there are local changes. (Aaron Bentley)
2939
2940
* Commit now only shows the progress in terms of directories instead of
2941
entries. (Ian Clatworthy)
2942
2943
* Fix ``KnitRepository.get_revision_graph`` to not request the graph 2
2944
times. This makes ``get_revision_graph`` 2x faster. (John Arbash
2945
Meinel)
2946
2947
* Fix ``VersionedFile.get_graph()`` to avoid using
2948
``set.difference_update(other)``, which has bad scaling when
2949
``other`` is large. This improves ``VF.get_graph([version_id])`` for
2950
a 12.5k graph from 2.9s down to 200ms. (John Arbash Meinel)
2951
2952
* The ``--lsprof-file`` option now generates output for KCacheGrind if
2953
the file starts with ``callgrind.out``. This matches the default file
2954
filtering done by KCacheGrind's Open Dialog. (Ian Clatworthy)
2955
2956
* Fix ``bzr update`` to avoid an unnecessary
2957
``branch.get_master_branch`` call, which avoids 1 extra connection
2958
to the remote server. (Partial fix for #128076, John Arbash Meinel)
2959
2960
* Log errors from the smart server in the trace file, to make debugging
2961
test failures (and live failures!) easier. (Andrew Bennetts)
2962
2963
* The HTML version of the man page has been superceded by a more
2964
comprehensive manual called the Bazaar User Reference. This manual
2965
is completed generated from the online help topics. As part of this
2966
change, limited reStructuredText is now explicitly supported in help
2967
topics and command help with 'unnatural' markup being removed prior
2968
to display by the online help or inclusion in the man page.
2969
(Ian Clatworthy)
2970
2971
* HTML documentation now use files extension ``*.html``
2972
(Alexander Belchenko)
2973
2974
* The cache of ignore definitions is now cleared in WorkingTree.unlock()
2975
so that changes to .bzrignore aren't missed. (#129694, Daniel Watkins)
2976
2977
* ``bzr selftest --strict`` fails if there are any missing features or
2978
expected test failures. (Daniel Watkins, #111914)
2979
2980
* Link to registration survey added to README. (Ian Clatworthy)
2981
2982
* Windows standalone installer show link to registration survey
2983
when installation finished. (Alexander Belchenko)
2984
2985
LIBRARY API BREAKS:
2986
2987
* Deprecated dictionary ``bzrlib.option.SHORT_OPTIONS`` removed.
2988
Options are now required to provide a help string and it must
2989
comply with the style guide by being one or more sentences with an
2990
initial capital and final period. (Martin Pool)
2991
2992
* KnitIndex.get_parents now returns tuples. (Robert Collins)
2993
2994
* Ancient unused ``Repository.text_store`` attribute has been removed.
2995
(Robert Collins)
2996
2997
* The ``bzrlib.pack`` interface has changed to use tuples of bytestrings
2998
rather than just bytestrings, making it easier to represent multiple
2999
element names. As this interface was not used by any internal facilities
3000
since it was introduced in 0.18 no API compatibility is being preserved.
3001
The serialised form of these packs is identical with 0.18 when a single
3002
element tuple is in use. (Robert Collins)
3003
3004
INTERNALS:
3005
3006
* merge now uses ``iter_changes`` to calculate changes, which makes room for
3007
future performance increases. It is also more consistent with other
3008
operations that perform comparisons, and reduces reliance on
3009
Tree.inventory. (Aaron Bentley)
3010
3011
* Refactoring of transport classes connected to a remote server.
3012
ConnectedTransport is a new class that serves as a basis for all
3013
transports needing to connect to a remote server. transport.split_url
3014
have been deprecated, use the static method on the object instead. URL
3015
tests have been refactored too.
3016
(Vincent Ladeuil)
3017
3018
* Better connection sharing for ConnectedTransport objects.
3019
transport.get_transport() now accepts a 'possible_transports' parameter.
3020
If a newly requested transport can share a connection with one of the
3021
list, it will.
3022
(Vincent Ladeuil)
3023
3024
* Most functions now accept ``bzrlib.revision.NULL_REVISION`` to indicate
3025
the null revision, and consider using ``None`` for this purpose
3026
deprecated. (Aaron Bentley)
3027
3028
* New ``index`` module with abstract index functionality. This will be
3029
used during the planned changes in the repository layer. Currently the
3030
index layer provides a graph aware immutable index, a builder for the
3031
same index type to allow creating them, and finally a composer for
3032
such indices to allow the use of many indices in a single query. The
3033
index performance is not optimised, however the API is stable to allow
3034
development on top of the index. (Robert Collins)
3035
3036
* ``bzrlib.dirstate.cmp_by_dirs`` can be used to compare two paths by
3037
their directory sections. This is equivalent to comparing
3038
``path.split('/')``, only without having to split the paths.
3039
This has a Pyrex implementation available.
3040
(John Arbash Meinel)
3041
3042
* New transport decorator 'unlistable+' which disables the list_dir
3043
functionality for testing.
3044
3045
* Deprecated ``change_entry`` in transform.py. (Ian Clatworthy)
3046
3047
* RevisionTree.get_weave is now deprecated. Tree.plan_merge is now used
3048
for performing annotate-merge. (Aaron Bentley)
3049
3050
* New EmailMessage class to create email messages. (Adeodato Simó)
3051
3052
* Unused functions on the private interface KnitIndex have been removed.
3053
(Robert Collins)
3054
3055
* New ``knit.KnitGraphIndex`` which provides a ``KnitIndex`` layered on top
3056
of a ``index.GraphIndex``. (Robert Collins)
3057
3058
* New ``knit.KnitVersionedFile.iter_parents`` method that allows querying
3059
the parents of many knit nodes at once, reducing round trips to the
3060
underlying index. (Robert Collins)
3061
3062
* Graph now has an is_ancestor method, various bits use it.
3063
(Aaron Bentley)
3064
3065
* The ``-Dhpss`` flag now includes timing information. As well as
3066
logging when a new connection is opened. (John Arbash Meinel)
3067
3068
* ``bzrlib.pack.ContainerWriter`` now returns an offset, length tuple to
3069
callers when inserting data, allowing generation of readv style access
3070
during pack creation, without needing a separate pass across the output
3071
pack to gather such details. (Robert Collins)
3072
3073
* ``bzrlib.pack.make_readv_reader`` allows readv based access to pack
3074
files that are stored on a transport. (Robert Collins)
3075
3076
* New ``Repository.has_same_location`` method that reports if two
3077
repository objects refer to the same repository (although with some risk
3078
of false negatives). (Andrew Bennetts)
3079
3080
* InterTree.compare now passes require_versioned on correctly.
3081
(Marius Kruger)
3082
3083
* New methods on Repository - ``start_write_group``,
3084
``commit_write_group``, ``abort_write_group`` and ``is_in_write_group`` -
3085
which provide a clean hook point for transactional Repositories - ones
3086
where all the data for a fetch or commit needs to be made atomically
3087
available in one step. This allows the write lock to remain while making
3088
a series of data insertions. (e.g. data conversion). (Robert Collins)
3089
3090
* In ``bzrlib.knit`` the internal interface has been altered to use
3091
3-tuples (index, pos, length) rather than two-tuples (pos, length) to
3092
describe where data in a knit is, allowing knits to be split into
3093
many files. (Robert Collins)
3094
3095
* ``bzrlib.knit._KnitData`` split into cache management and physical access
3096
with two access classes - ``_PackAccess`` and ``_KnitAccess`` defined.
3097
The former provides access into a .pack file, and the latter provides the
3098
current production repository form of .knit files. (Robert Collins)
3099
3100
TESTING:
3101
3102
* Remove selftest ``--clean-output``, ``--numbered-dirs`` and
3103
``--keep-output`` options, which are obsolete now that tests
3104
are done within directories in $TMPDIR. (Martin Pool)
3105
3106
* The SSH_AUTH_SOCK environment variable is now reset to avoid
3107
interaction with any running ssh agents. (Jelmer Vernooij, #125955)
3108
3109
* run_bzr_subprocess handles parameters the same way as run_bzr:
3110
either a string or a list of strings should be passed as the first
3111
parameter. Varargs-style parameters are deprecated. (Aaron Bentley)

BUGFIXES:
3126
3127
* Do not suppress pipe errors, etc. in non-display commands
3128
(Alexander Belchenko, #87178)
3129
3130
* Display a useful error message when the user requests to annotate
3131
a file that is not present in the specified revision.
3132
(James Westby, #122656)
3133
3134
* Commands that use status flags now have a reference to 'help
3135
status-flags'. (Daniel Watkins, #113436)
3136
3137
* Work around python-2.4.1 inhability to correctly parse the
3138
authentication header.
3139
(Vincent Ladeuil, #121889)
3140
3141
* Use exact encoding for merge directives. (Adeodato Simó, #120591)
3142
3143
* Fix tempfile permissions error in smart server tar bundling under
3144
Windows. (Martin _, #119330)
3145
3146
* Fix detection of directory entries in the inventory. (James Westby)
3147
3148
* Fix handling of http code 400: Bad Request When issuing too many ranges.
3149
(Vincent Ladeuil, #115209)
3150
3151
* Issue a CONNECT request when connecting to an https server
3152
via a proxy to enable SSL tunneling.
3153
(Vincent Ladeuil, #120678)
3154
3155
* Fix ``bzr log -r`` to support selecting merge revisions, both
3156
individually and as part of revision ranges.
3157
(Kent Gibson, #4663)
3158
3159
* Don't leave cruft behind when failing to acquire a lockdir.
3160
(Martin Pool, #109169)
3161
3162
* Don't use the '-f' strace option during tests.
3163
(Vincent Ladeuil, #102019).
3164
3165
* Warn when setting ``push_location`` to a value that will be masked by
3166
locations.conf. (Aaron Bentley, #122286)
3167
3168
* Fix commit ordering in corner case (Aaron Bentley, #94975)
3169
3170
* Make annotate behave in a non-ASCII world (Adeodato Simó).
3171
3172
IMPROVEMENTS:
3173
3174
* The --lsprof-file option now dumps a text rendering of the profiling
3175
information if the filename ends in ".txt". It will also convert the
3176
profiling information to a format suitable for KCacheGrind if the
3177
output filename ends in ".callgrind". Fixes to the lsprofcalltree
3178
conversion process by Jean Paul Calderone and Itamar were also merged.
3179
See http://ddaa.net/blog/python/lsprof-calltree. (Ian Clatworthy)
3180
3181
* ``info`` now defaults to non-verbose mode, displaying only paths and
3182
abbreviated format info. ``info -v`` displays all the information
3183
formerly displayed by ``info``. (Aaron Bentley, Adeodato Simó)
3184
3185
* ``bzr missing`` now has better option names ``--this`` and ``--other``.
3186
(Elliot Murphy)
3187
3188
* The internal ``weave-list`` command has become ``versionedfile-list``,
3189
and now lists knits as well as weaves. (Aaron Bentley)
3190
3191
* Automatic merge base selection uses a faster algorithm that chooses
3192
better bases in criss-cross merge situations (Aaron Bentley)
3193
3194
* Progress reporting in ``commit`` has been improved. The various logical
3195
stages are now reported on as follows, namely:
3196
3197
* Collecting changes [Entry x/y] - Stage n/m
3198
* Saving data locally - Stage n/m
3199
* Uploading data to master branch - Stage n/m
3200
* Updating the working tree - Stage n/m
3201
* Running post commit hooks - Stage n/m
3202
3203
If there is no master branch, the 3rd stage is omitted and the total
3204
number of stages is adjusted accordingly.
3205
3206
Each hook that is run after commit is listed with a name (as hooks
3207
can be slow it is useful feedback).
3208
(Ian Clatworthy, Robert Collins)
3209
3210
* Various operations that are now faster due to avoiding unnecessary
3211
topological sorts. (Aaron Bentley)
3212
3213
* Make merge directives robust against broken bundles. (Aaron Bentley)
3214
3215
* The lsprof filename note is emitted via trace.note(), not standard
3216
output. (Aaron Bentley)
3217
3218
* ``bzrlib`` now exports explicit API compatibility information to assist
3219
library users and plugins. See the ``bzrlib.api`` module for details.
3220
(Robert Collins)
3221
3222
* Remove unnecessary lock probes when acquiring a lockdir.
3223
(Martin Pool)
3224
3225
* ``bzr --version`` now shows the location of the bzr log file, which
3226
is especially useful on Windows. (Martin Pool)
3227
3228
* -D now supports hooks to get debug tracing of hooks (though its currently
3229
minimal in nature). (Robert Collins)
3230
3231
* Long log format reports deltas on merge revisions.
3232
(John Arbash Meinel, Kent Gibson)
3233
3234
* Make initial push over ftp more resilient. (John Arbash Meinel)
3235
3236
* Print a summary of changes for update just like pull does.
3237
(Daniel Watkins, #113990)
3238
3239
* Add a -Dhpss option to trace smart protocol requests and responses.

``bzrlib.tests.bzrdir_implementations``.
3255
``bzrlib.versionedfile.InterVersionedFileTestProviderAdapter`` has moved
3256
to ``bzrlib.tests.interversionedfile_implementations``.
3257
``bzrlib.store.revision.RevisionStoreTestProviderAdapter`` has moved to
3258
``bzrlib.tests.revisionstore_implementations``.
3259
``bzrlib.workingtree.WorkingTreeTestProviderAdapter`` has moved to
3260
``bzrlib.tests.workingtree_implementations``.
3261
These changes are an API break in the testing infrastructure only.
3262
(Robert Collins)
3263
3264
* Relocate TestCaseWithRepository to be more central. (Robert Collins)
3265
3266
* ``bzrlib.add.smart_add_tree`` will no longer perform glob expansion on
3267
win32. Callers of the function should do this and use the new
3268
``MutableTree.smart_add`` method instead. (Robert Collins)
3269
3270
* ``bzrlib.add.glob_expand_for_win32`` is now
3271
``bzrlib.win32utils.glob_expand``. (Robert Collins)
3272
3273
* ``bzrlib.add.FastPath`` is now private and moved to
3274
``bzrlib.mutabletree._FastPath``. (Robert Collins, Martin Pool)
3275
3276
* ``LockDir.wait`` removed. (Martin Pool)
3277
3278
* The ``SmartServer`` hooks API has changed for the ``server_started`` and
3279
``server_stopped`` hooks. The first parameter is now an iterable of
3280
backing URLs rather than a single URL. This is to reflect that many
3281
URLs may map to the external URL of the server. E.g. the server interally
3282
may have a chrooted URL but also the local file:// URL will be at the
3283
same location. (Robert Collins)
3284
3285
INTERNALS:
3286
3287
* New SMTPConnection class to unify email handling. (Adeodato Simó)
3288
3289
* Fix documentation of BzrError. (Adeodato Simó)
3290
3291
* Make BzrBadParameter an internal error. (Adeodato Simó)
3292
3293
* Remove use of 'assert False' to raise an exception unconditionally.
3294
(Martin Pool)
3295
3296
* Give a cleaner error when failing to decode knit index entry.
3297
(Martin Pool)
3298
3299
* TreeConfig would mistakenly search the top level when asked for options
3300
from a section. It now respects the section argument and only
3301
searches the specified section. (James Westby)
3302
3303
* Improve ``make api-docs`` output. (John Arbash Meinel)
3304
3305
* Use os.lstat rather than os.stat for osutils.make_readonly and
3306
osutils.make_writeable. This makes the difftools plugin more
3307
robust when dangling symlinks are found. (Elliot Murphy)
3308
3309
* New ``-Dlock`` option to log (to ~/.bzr.log) information on when
3310
lockdirs are taken or released. (Martin Pool)
3311
3312
* ``bzrlib`` Hooks are now nameable using ``Hooks.name_hook``. This
3313
allows a nicer UI when hooks are running as the current hook can
3314
be displayed. (Robert Collins)
3315
3316
* ``Transport.get`` has had its interface made more clear for ease of use.
3317
Retrieval of a directory must now fail with either 'PathError' at open
3318
time, or raise 'ReadError' on a read. (Robert Collins)
3319
3320
* New method ``_maybe_expand_globs`` on the ``Command`` class for
3321
dealing with unexpanded glob lists - e.g. on the win32 platform. This
3322
was moved from ``bzrlib.add._prepare_file_list``. (Robert Collins)
3323
3324
* ``bzrlib.add.smart_add`` and ``bzrlib.add.smart_add_tree`` are now
3325
deprecated in favour of ``MutableTree.smart_add``. (Robert Collins,
3326
Martin Pool)
3327
3328
* New method ``external_url`` on Transport for obtaining the url to
3329
hand to external processes. (Robert Collins)
3330
3331
* Teach windows installers to build pyrex/C extensions.
3332
(Alexander Belchenko)
3333
3334
TESTING:
3335
3336
* Removed the ``--keep-output`` option from selftest and clean up test
3337
directories as they're used. This reduces the IO load from
3338
running the test suite and cuts the time by about half.
3339
(Andrew Bennetts, Martin Pool)
3340
3341
* Add scenarios as a public attribute on the TestAdapter classes to allow
3342
modification of the generated scenarios before adaption and easier
3343
testing. (Robert Collins)
3344
3345
* New testing support class ``TestScenarioApplier`` which multiplies
3346
out a single teste by a list of supplied scenarios. (RobertCollins)
3347
3348
* Setting ``repository_to_test_repository`` on a repository_implementations
3349
test will cause it to be called during repository creation, allowing the
3350
testing of repository classes which are not based around the Format
3351
concept. For example a repository adapter can be tested in this manner,
3352
by altering the repository scenarios to include a scenario that sets this
3353
attribute during the test parameterisation in
3354
``bzrlib.tests.repository.repository_implementations``. (Robert Collins)
3355
3356
* Clean up many of the APIs for blackbox testing of Bazaar. The standard
3357
interface is now self.run_bzr. The command to run can be passed as
3358
either a list of parameters, a string containing the command line, or
3359
(deprecated) varargs parameters. (Martin Pool)
3360
3361
* The base TestCase now isolates tests from -D parameters by clearing
3362
``debug.debug_flags`` and restores it afterwards. (Robert Collins)
3363
3364
* Add a relpath parameter to get_transport methods in test framework to
3365
avoid useless cloning.

3384
NOTES WHEN UPGRADING:
3385
3386
* The kind() and is_executable() APIs on the WorkingTree interface no
3387
longer implicitly (read) locks and unlocks the tree. This *might*
3388
impact some plug-ins and tools using this part of the API. If you find
3389
an issue that may be caused by this change, please let us know,
3390
particularly the plug-in/tool maintainer. If encountered, the API
3391
fix is to surround kind() and is_executable() calls with lock_read()
3392
and unlock() like so::
3393
3394
work_tree.lock_read()
3395
try:
3396
kind = work_tree.kind(...)
3397
finally:
3398
work_tree.unlock()
3399
3400
INTERNALS:
3401
* Rework of LogFormatter API to provide beginning/end of log hooks and to
3402
encapsulate the details of the revision to be logged in a LogRevision
3403
object.
3404
In long log formats, merge revision ids are only shown when --show-ids
3405
is specified, and are labelled "revision-id:", as per mainline
3406
revisions, instead of "merged:". (Kent Gibson)
3407
3408
* New ``BranchBuilder`` API which allows the construction of particular
3409
histories quickly. Useful for testing and potentially other applications
3410
too. (Robert Collins)
3411
3412
IMPROVEMENTS:
3413
3414
* There are two new help topics, working-trees and repositories that
3415
attempt to explain these concepts. (James Westby, John Arbash Meinel,
3416
Aaron Bentley)
3417
3418
* Added ``bzr log --limit`` to report a limited number of revisions.
3419
(Kent Gibson, #3659)
3420
3421
* Revert does not try to preserve file contents that were originally
3422
produced by reverting to a historical revision. (Aaron Bentley)
3423
3424
* ``bzr log --short`` now includes ``[merge]`` for revisions which
3425
have more than one parent. This is a small improvement to help
3426
understanding what changes have occurred
3427
(John Arbash Meinel, #83887)
3428
3429
* TreeTransform avoids many renames when contructing large trees,
3430
improving speed. 3.25x speedups have been observed for construction of
3431
kernel-sized-trees, and checkouts are 1.28x faster. (Aaron Bentley)
3432
3433
* Commit on large trees is now faster. In my environment, a commit of
3434
a small change to the Mozilla tree (55k files) has dropped from
3435
66 seconds to 32 seconds. For a small tree of 600 files, commit of a
3436
small change is 33% faster. (Ian Clatworthy)
3437
3438
* New --create-prefix option to bzr init, like for push. (Daniel Watkins,
3439
#56322)
3440
3441
BUGFIXES:
3442
3443
* ``bzr push`` should only connect to the remote location one time.
3444
We have been connecting 3 times because we forget to pass around
3445
the Transport object. This adds ``BzrDir.clone_on_transport()``, so
3446
that we can pass in the Transport that we already have.
3447
(John Arbash Meinel, #75721)
3448
3449
* ``DirState.set_state_from_inventory()`` needs to properly order
3450
based on split paths, not just string paths.
3451
(John Arbash Meinel, #115947)
3452
3453
* Let TestUIFactoy encode the password prompt with its own stdout.
3454
(Vincent Ladeuil, #110204)
3455
3456
* pycurl should take use the range header that takes the range hint
3457
into account.
3458
(Vincent Ladeuil, #112719)
3459
3460
* WorkingTree4.get_file_sha1 no longer raises an exception when invoked
3461
on a missing file. (Aaron Bentley, #118186)
3462
3463
* WorkingTree.remove works correctly with tree references, and when pwd is
3464
not the tree root. (Aaron Bentley)
3465
3466
* Merge no longer fails when a file is renamed in one tree and deleted
3467
in the other. (Aaron Bentley, #110279)
3468
3469
* ``revision-info`` now accepts dotted revnos, doesn't require a tree,
3470
and defaults to the last revision (Matthew Fuller, #90048)
3471
3472
* Tests no longer fail when BZR_REMOTE_PATH is set in the environment.
3473
(Daniel Watkins, #111958)
3474
3475
* ``bzr branch -r revid:foo`` can be used to branch any revision in
3476
your repository. (Previously Branch6 only supported revisions in your
3477
mainline). (John Arbash Meinel, #115343)

3480
--------------------
3481
3482
BUGFIXES:
3483
3484
* Handle when you have 2 directories with similar names, but one has a
3485
hyphen. (``'abc'`` versus ``'abc-2'``). The WT4._iter_changes
3486
iterator was using direct comparison and ``'abc/a'`` sorts after
3487
``'abc-2'``, but ``('abc', 'a')`` sorts before ``('abc-2',)``.
3488
(John Arbash Meinel, #111227)
3489
3490
* Handle when someone renames a file on disk without telling bzr.
3491
Previously we would report the first file as missing, but not show
3492
the new unknown file. (John Arbash Meinel, #111288)
3493
3494
* Avoid error when running hooks after pulling into or pushing from
3495
a branch bound to a smartserver branch. (Martin Pool, #111968)
3496
3497
IMPROVEMENTS:
3498
3499
* Move developer documentation to doc/developers/. This reduces clutter in
3500
the root of the source tree and allows HACKING to be split into multiple
3501
files. (Robert Collins, Alexander Belchenko)
3502
3503
* Clean up the ``WorkingTree4._iter_changes()`` internal loops as well as
3504
``DirState.update_entry()``. This optimizes the core logic for ``bzr
3505
diff`` and ``bzr status`` significantly improving the speed of
3506
both. (John Arbash Meinel)

3509
-----------------------
3510
3511
BUGFIXES:
3512
3513
* Handle the case when you delete a file, and then rename another file
3514
on top of it. Also handle the case of ``bzr rm --keep foo``. ``bzr
3515
status`` should show the removed file and an unknown file in its
3516
place. (John Arbash Meinel, #109993)
3517
3518
* Bundles properly read and write revision properties that have an
3519
empty value. And when the value is not ASCII.
3520
(John Arbash Meinel, #109613)
3521
3522
* Fix the bzr commit message to be in text mode.
3523
(Alexander Belchenko, #110901)
3524
3525
* Also handle when you rename a file and create a file where it used
3526
to be. (John Arbash Meinel, #110256)
3527
3528
* ``WorkingTree4._iter_changes`` should not descend into unversioned
3529
directories. (John Arbash Meinel, #110399)

3531
bzr 0.16rc1 2007-04-26
3532
-----------------------
3533
3534
NOTES WHEN UPGRADING:
3535
3536
* ``bzr remove`` and ``bzr rm`` will now remove the working file, if
3537
it could be recovered again.
3538
This has been done for consistency with svn and the unix rm command.
3539
The old ``remove`` behaviour has been retained in the new option
3540
``bzr remove --keep``, which will just stop versioning the file,
3541
but not delete it.
3542
``bzr remove --force`` have been added which will always delete the
3543
files.
3544
``bzr remove`` is also more verbose.
3545
(Marius Kruger, #82602)
3546
3547
IMPROVEMENTS:
3548
3549
* Merge directives can now be supplied as input to `merge` and `pull`,
3550
like bundles can. (Aaron Bentley)
3551
3552
* Sending the SIGQUIT signal to bzr, which can be done on Unix by
3553
pressing Control-Backslash, drops bzr into a debugger. Type ``'c'``
3554
to continue. This can be disabled by setting the environment variable
3555
``BZR_SIGQUIT_PDB=0``. (Martin Pool)
3556
3557
* selftest now supports --list-only to list tests instead of running
3558
them. (Ian Clatworthy)
3559
3560
* selftest now supports --exclude PATTERN (or -x PATTERN) to exclude
3561
tests with names that match that regular expression.
3562
(Ian Clatworthy, #102679)
3563
3564
* selftest now supports --randomize SEED to run tests in a random order.
3565
SEED is typically the value 'now' meaning 'use the current time'.
3566
(Ian Clatworthy, #102686)
3567
3568
* New option ``--fixes`` to commit, which stores bug fixing annotations as
3569
revision properties. Built-in support for Launchpad, Debian, Trac and
3570
Bugzilla bug trackers. (Jonathan Lange, James Henstridge, Robert Collins)
3571
3572
* New API, ``bzrlib.bugtracker.tracker_registry``, for adding support for
3573
other bug trackers to ``fixes``. (Jonathan Lange, James Henstridge,
3574
Robert Collins)
3575
3576
* ``selftest`` has new short options ``-f`` and ``-1``. (Martin
3577
Pool)
3578
3579
* ``bzrlib.tsort.MergeSorter`` optimizations. Change the inner loop
3580
into using local variables instead of going through ``self._var``.
3581
Improves the time to ``merge_sort`` a 10k revision graph by
3582
approximately 40% (~700->400ms). (John Arbash Meinel)
3583
3584
* ``make docs`` now creates a man page at ``man1/bzr.1`` fixing bug 107388.
3585
(Robert Collins)
3586
3587
* ``bzr help`` now provides cross references to other help topics using
3588
the _see_also facility on command classes. Likewise the bzr_man
3589
documentation, and the bzr.1 man page also include this information.
3590
(Robert Collins)
3591
3592
* Tags are now included in logs, that use the long log formatter.
3593
(Erik Bågfors, Alexander Belchenko)
3594
3595
* ``bzr help`` provides a clearer message when a help topic cannot be
3596
found. (Robert Collins, #107656)
3597
3598
* ``bzr help`` now accepts optional prefixes for command help. The help
3599
for all commands can now be found at ``bzr help commands/COMMANDNAME``
3600
as well as ``bzr help COMMANDNAME`` (which only works for commands
3601
where the name is not the same as a more general help topic).
3602
(Robert Collins)
3603
3604
* ``bzr help PLUGINNAME`` will now return the module docstring from the
3605
plugin PLUGINNAME. (Robert Collins, #50408)
3606
3607
* New help topic ``urlspec`` which lists the availables transports.
3608
(Goffredo Baroncelli)
3609
3610
* doc/server.txt updated to document the default bzr:// port
3611
and also update the blurb about the hpss' current status.
3612
(Robert Collins, #107125).
3613
3614
* ``bzr serve`` now listens on interface 0.0.0.0 by default, making it
3615
serve out to the local LAN (and anyone in the world that can reach the
3616
machine running ``bzr serve``. (Robert Collins, #98918)
3617
3618
* A new smart server protocol version has been added. It prefixes requests
3619
and responses with an explicit version identifier so that future protocol
3620
revisions can be dealt with gracefully. (Andrew Bennetts, Robert Collins)
3621
3622
* The bzr protocol version 2 indicates success or failure in every response
3623
without depending on particular commands encoding that consistently,
3624
allowing future client refactorings to be much more robust about error
3625
handling. (Robert Collins, Martin Pool, Andrew Bennetts)
3626
3627
* The smart protocol over HTTP client has been changed to always post to the
3628
same ``.bzr/smart`` URL under the original location when it can. This allows
3629
HTTP servers to only have to pass URLs ending in .bzr/smart to the smart
3630
server handler, and not arbitrary ``.bzr/*/smart`` URLs. (Andrew Bennetts)
3631
3632
* digest authentication is now supported for proxies and HTTP by the urllib
3633
based http implementation. Tested against Apache 2.0.55 and Squid
3634
2.6.5. Basic and digest authentication are handled coherently for HTTP
3635
and proxy: if the user is provided in the url (bzr command line for HTTP,
3636
proxy environment variables for proxies), the password is prompted for
3637
(only once). If the password is provided, it is taken into account. Once
3638
the first authentication is successful, all further authentication
3639
roundtrips are avoided by preventively setting the right authentication
3640
header(s).
3641
(Vincent Ladeuil).
3642
3643
INTERNALS:
3644
3645
* bzrlib API compatability with 0.8 has been dropped, cleaning up some
3646
code paths. (Robert Collins)
3647
3648
* Change the format of chroot urls so that they can be safely manipulated
3649
by generic url utilities without causing the resulting urls to have
3650
escaped the chroot. A side effect of this is that creating a chroot
3651
requires an explicit action using a ChrootServer.
3652
(Robert Collins, Andrew Bennetts)
3653
3654
* Deprecate ``Branch.get_root_id()`` because branches don't have root ids,
3655
rather than fixing bug #96847. (Aaron Bentley)
3656
3657
* ``WorkingTree.apply_inventory_delta`` provides a better alternative to
3658
``WorkingTree._write_inventory``. (Aaron Bentley)
3659
3660
* Convenience method ``TestCase.expectFailure`` ensures that known failures
3661
do not silently pass. (Aaron Bentley)
3662
3663
* ``Transport.local_abspath`` now raises ``NotLocalUrl`` rather than
3664
``TransportNotPossible``. (Martin Pool, Ian Clatworthy)
3665
3666
* New SmartServer hooks facility. There are two initial hooks documented
3667
in ``bzrlib.transport.smart.SmartServerHooks``. The two initial hooks allow
3668
plugins to execute code upon server startup and shutdown.
3669
(Robert Collins).
3670
3671
* SmartServer in standalone mode will now close its listening socket
3672
when it stops, rather than waiting for garbage collection. This primarily
3673
fixes test suite hangs when a test tries to connect to a shutdown server.
3674
It may also help improve behaviour when dealing with a server running
3675
on a specific port (rather than dynamically assigned ports).
3676
(Robert Collins)
3677
3678
* Move most SmartServer code into a new package, bzrlib/smart.
3679
bzrlib/transport/remote.py contains just the Transport classes that used
3680
to be in bzrlib/transport/smart.py. (Andrew Bennetts)
3681
3682
* urllib http implementation avoid roundtrips associated with
3683
401 (and 407) errors once the authentication succeeds.
3684
(Vincent Ladeuil).
3685
3686
* urlib http now supports querying the user for a proxy password if
3687
needed. Realm is shown in the prompt for both HTTP and proxy
3688
authentication when the user is required to type a password.
3689
(Vincent Ladeuil).
3690
3691
* Renamed SmartTransport (and subclasses like SmartTCPTransport) to
3692
RemoteTransport (and subclasses to RemoteTCPTransport, etc). This is more
3693
consistent with its new home in ``bzrlib/transport/remote.py``, and because
3694
it's not really a "smart" transport, just one that does file operations
3695
via remote procedure calls. (Andrew Bennetts)
3696
3697
* The ``lock_write`` method of ``LockableFiles``, ``Repository`` and
3698
``Branch`` now accept a ``token`` keyword argument, so that separate
3699
instances of those objects can share a lock if it has the right token.
3700
(Andrew Bennetts, Robert Collins)
3701
3702
* New method ``get_branch_reference`` on ``BzrDir`` allows the detection of
3703
branch references - which the smart server component needs.
3704
3705
* The Repository API ``make_working_trees`` is now permitted to return
3706
False when ``set_make_working_trees`` is not implemented - previously
3707
an unimplemented ``set_make_working_trees`` implied the result True
3708
from ``make_working_trees``. This has been changed to accomodate the
3709
smart server, where it does not make sense (at this point) to ever
3710
make working trees by default. (Robert Collins)
3711
3712
* Command objects can now declare related help topics by having _see_also
3713
set to a list of related topic. (Robert Collins)
3714
3715
* ``bzrlib.help`` now delegates to the Command class for Command specific
3716
help. (Robert Collins)
3717
3718
* New class ``TransportListRegistry``, derived from the Registry class, which
3719
simplifies tracking the available Transports. (Goffredo Baroncelli)
3720
3721
* New function ``Branch.get_revision_id_to_revno_map`` which will
3722
return a dictionary mapping revision ids to dotted revnos. Since
3723
dotted revnos are defined in the context of the branch tip, it makes
3724
sense to generate them from a ``Branch`` object.
3725
(John Arbash Meinel)
3726
3727
* Fix the 'Unprintable error' message display to use the repr of the
3728
exception that prevented printing the error because the str value
3729
for it is often not useful in debugging (e.g. KeyError('foo') has a
3730
str() of 'foo' but a repr of 'KeyError('foo')' which is much more
3731
useful. (Robert Collins)
3732
3733
* ``urlutils.normalize_url`` now unescapes unreserved characters, such as "~".
3734
(Andrew Bennetts)
3735
3736
BUGFIXES:
3737
3738
* Don't fail bundle selftest if email has 'two' embedded.
3739
(Ian Clatworthy, #98510)
3740
3741
* Remove ``--verbose`` from ``bzr bundle``. It didn't work anyway.
3742
(Robert Widhopf-Fenk, #98591)
3743
3744
* Remove ``--basis`` from the checkout/branch commands - it didn't work
3745
properly and is no longer beneficial.
3746
(Robert Collins, #53675, #43486)
3747
3748
* Don't produce encoding error when adding duplicate files.
3749
(Aaron Bentley)
3750
3751
* Fix ``bzr log <file>`` so it only logs the revisions that changed
3752
the file, and does it faster.
3753
(Kent Gibson, John Arbash Meinel, #51980, #69477)
3754
3755
* Fix ``InterDirstateTre._iter_changes`` to handle when we come across
3756
an empty versioned directory, which now has files in it.
3757
(John Arbash Meinel, #104257)
3758
3759
* Teach ``common_ancestor`` to shortcut when the tip of one branch is
3760
inside the ancestry of the other. Saves a lot of graph processing
3761
(with an ancestry of 16k revisions, ``bzr merge ../already-merged``
3762
changes from 2m10s to 13s). (John Arbash Meinel, #103757)
3763
3764
* Fix ``show_diff_trees`` to handle the case when a file is modified,
3765
and the containing directory is renamed. (The file path is different
3766
in this versus base, but it isn't marked as a rename).
3767
(John Arbash Meinel, #103870)
3768
3769
* FTP now works even when the FTP server does not support atomic rename.
3770
(Aaron Bentley, #89436)
3771
3772
* Correct handling in bundles and merge directives of timezones with
3773
that are not an integer number of hours offset from UTC. Always
3774
represent the epoch time in UTC to avoid problems with formatting
3775
earlier times on win32. (Martin Pool, Alexander Belchenko, John
3776
Arbash Meinel)
3777
3778
* Typo in the help for ``register-branch`` fixed. (Robert Collins, #96770)
3779
3780
* "dirstate" and "dirstate-tags" formats now produce branches compatible
3781
with old versions of bzr. (Aaron Bentley, #107168))
3782
3783
* Handle moving a directory when children have been added, removed,
3784
and renamed. (John Arbash Meinel, #105479)
3785
3786
* Don't preventively use basic authentication for proxy before receiving a
3787
407 error. Otherwise people willing to use other authentication schemes
3788
may expose their password in the clear (or nearly). This add one
3789
roundtrip in case basic authentication should be used, but plug the
3790
security hole.
3791
(Vincent Ladeuil)
3792
3793
* Handle http and proxy digest authentication.
3794
(Vincent Ladeuil, #94034).
3795
3796
TESTING:
3797
3798
* Added ``bzrlib.strace.strace`` which will strace a single callable and
3799
return a StraceResult object which contains just the syscalls involved
3800
in running it. (Robert Collins)
3801
3802
* New test method ``reduceLockdirTimeout`` to drop the default (ui-centric)
3803
default time down to one suitable for tests. (Andrew Bennetts)
3804
3805
* Add new ``vfs_transport_factory`` attribute on tests which provides the
3806
common vfs backing for both the readonly and readwrite transports.
3807
This allows the RemoteObject tests to back onto local disk or memory,
3808
and use the existing ``transport_server`` attribute all tests know about
3809
to be the smart server transport. This in turn allows tests to
3810
differentiate between 'transport to access the branch', and
3811
'transport which is a VFS' - which matters in Remote* tests.
3812
(Robert Collins, Andrew Bennetts)
3813
3814
* The ``make_branch_and_tree`` method for tests will now create a
3815
lightweight checkout for the tree if the ``vfs_transport_factory`` is not
3816
a LocalURLServer. (Robert Collins, Andrew Bennetts)
3817
3818
* Branch implementation tests have been audited to ensure that all urls
3819
passed to Branch APIs use proper urls, except when local-disk paths
3820
are intended. This is so that tests correctly access the test transport
3821
which is often not equivalent to local disk in Remote* tests. As part
3822
of this many tests were adjusted to remove dependencies on local disk
3823
access.
3824
(Robert Collins, Andrew Bennetts)
3825
3826
* Mark bzrlib.tests and bzrlib.tests.TestUtil as providing assertFOO helper
3827
functions by adding a ``__unittest`` global attribute. (Robert Collins,
3828
Andrew Bennetts, Martin Pool, Jonathan Lange)
3829
3830
* Refactored proxy and authentication handling to simplify the
3831
implementation of new auth schemes for both http and proxy.

-----------------------
3848
3849
CHANGES:
3850
3851
* A warning is now displayed when opening working trees in older
3852
formats, to encourage people to upgrade to WorkingTreeFormat4.
3853
(Martin Pool)
3854
3855
IMPROVEMENTS:
3856
3857
* HTTP redirections are now taken into account when a branch (or a
3858
bundle) is accessed for the first time. A message is issued at each
3859
redirection to inform the user. In the past, http redirections were
3860
silently followed for each request which significantly degraded the
3861
performances. The http redirections are not followed anymore by
3862
default, instead a RedirectRequested exception is raised. For bzrlib
3863
users needing to follow http redirections anyway,
3864
``bzrlib.transport.do_catching_redirections`` provide an easy transition
3865
path. (vila)
3866
3867
INTERNALS:
3868
3869
* Added ``ReadLock.temporary_write_lock()`` to allow upgrading an OS read
3870
lock to an OS write lock. Linux can do this without unlocking, Win32
3871
needs to unlock in between. (John Arbash Meinel)
3872
3873
* New parameter ``recommend_upgrade`` to ``BzrDir.open_workingtree``
3874
to silence (when false) warnings about opening old formats.
3875
(Martin Pool)
3876
3877
* Fix minor performance regression with bzr-0.15 on pre-dirstate
3878
trees. (We were reading the working inventory too many times).
3879
(John Arbash Meinel)
3880
3881
* Remove ``Branch.get_transaction()`` in favour of a simple cache of
3882
``revision_history``. Branch subclasses should override
3883
``_gen_revision_history`` rather than ``revision_history`` to make use of
3884
this cache, and call ``_clear_revision_history_cache`` and
3885
``_cache_revision_history`` at appropriate times. (Andrew Bennetts)
3886
3887
BUGFIXES:
3888
3889
* Take ``smtp_server`` from user config into account.
3890
(vila, #92195)
3891
3892
* Restore Unicode filename handling for versioned and unversioned files.
3893
(John Arbash Meinel, #92608)
3894
3895
* Don't fail during ``bzr commit`` if a file is marked removed, and
3896
the containing directory is auto-removed. (John Arbash Meinel, #93681)
3897
3898
* ``bzr status FILENAME`` failed on Windows because of an uncommon
3899
errno. (``ERROR_DIRECTORY == 267 != ENOTDIR``).
3900
(Wouter van Heyst, John Arbash Meinel, #90819)
3901
3902
* ``bzr checkout source`` should create a local branch in the same
3903
format as source. (John Arbash Meinel, #93854)
3904
3905
* ``bzr commit`` with a kind change was failing to update the
3906
last-changed-revision for directories. The
3907
InventoryDirectory._unchanged only looked at the ``parent_id`` and name,
3908
ignoring the fact that the kind could have changed, too.
3909
(John Arbash Meinel, #90111)
3910
3911
* ``bzr mv dir/subdir other`` was incorrectly updating files inside
3912
the directory. So that there was a chance it would break commit,
3913
etc. (John Arbash Meinel, #94037)
3914
3915
* Correctly handles mutiple permanent http redirections.

3919
-----------------------
3920
3921
NOTES WHEN UPGRADING:
3922
3923
* Release 0.15rc2 of bzr changes the ``bzr init-repo`` command to
3924
default to ``--trees`` instead of ``--no-trees``.
3925
Existing shared repositories are not affected.
3926
3927
IMPROVEMENTS:
3928
3929
* New ``merge-directive`` command to generate machine- and human-readable
3930
merge requests. (Aaron Bentley)
3931
3932
* New ``submit:`` revision specifier makes it easy to diff against the
3933
common ancestor with the submit location (Aaron Bentley)
3934
3935
* Added support for Putty's SSH implementation. (Dmitry Vasiliev)
3936
3937
* Added ``bzr status --versioned`` to report only versioned files,
3938
not unknowns. (Kent Gibson)
3939
3940
* Merge now autodetects the correct line-ending style for its conflict
3941
markers. (Aaron Bentley)
3942
3943
INTERNALS:
3944
3945
* Refactored SSH vendor registration into SSHVendorManager class.
3946
(Dmitry Vasiliev)
3947
3948
BUGFIXES:
3949
3950
* New ``--numbered-dirs`` option to ``bzr selftest`` to use
3951
numbered dirs for TestCaseInTempDir. This is default behavior
3952
on Windows. Anyone can force named dirs on Windows
3953
with ``--no-numbered-dirs``. (Alexander Belchenko)
3954
3955
* Fix ``RevisionSpec_revid`` to handle the Unicode strings passed in
3956
from the command line. (Marien Zwart, #90501)
3957
3958
* Fix ``TreeTransform._iter_changes`` when both the source and
3959
destination are missing. (Aaron Bentley, #88842)
3960
3961
* Fix commit of merges with symlinks in dirstate trees.
3962
(Marien Zwart)
3963
3964
* Switch the ``bzr init-repo`` default from --no-trees to --trees.

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

BUGFIXES:
4145
4146
* ``bzr annotate`` now uses dotted revnos from the viewpoint of the
4147
branch, rather than the last changed revision of the file.
4148
(John Arbash Meinel, #82158)
4149
4150
* Lock operations no longer hang if they encounter a permission problem.
4151
(Aaron Bentley)
4152
4153
* ``bzr push`` can resume a push that was canceled before it finished.
4154
Also, it can push even if the target directory exists if you supply
4155
the ``--use-existing-dir`` flag.
4156
(John Arbash Meinel, #30576, #45504)
4157
4158
* Fix http proxy authentication when user and an optional
4159
password appears in the ``*_proxy`` vars. (Vincent Ladeuil,
4160
#83954).
4161
4162
* ``bzr log branch/file`` works for local treeless branches
4163
(Aaron Bentley, #84247)
4164
4165
* Fix problem with UNC paths on Windows 98. (Alexander Belchenko, #84728)
4166
4167
* Searching location of CA bundle for PyCurl in env variable
4168
(``CURL_CA_BUNDLE``), and on win32 along the PATH.
4169
(Alexander Belchenko, #82086)
4170
4171
* ``bzr init`` works with unicode argument LOCATION.
4172
(Alexander Belchenko, #85599)
4173
4174
* Raise ``DependencyNotPresent`` if pycurl do not support https.
4175
(Vincent Ladeuil, #85305)
4176
4177
* Invalid proxy env variables should not cause a traceback.
4178
(Vincent Ladeuil, #87765)
4179
4180
* Ignore patterns normalised to use '/' path separator.
4181
(Kent Gibson, #86451)
4182
4183
* bzr rocks. It sure does! Fix case. (Vincent Ladeuil, #78026)
4184
4185
* Fix bzrtools shelve command for removed lines beginning with "--"
4186
(Johan Dahlberg, #75577)
4187
4188
TESTING:
4189
4190
* New ``--first`` option to ``bzr selftest`` to run specified tests
4191
before the rest of the suite. (Martin Pool)

4193
4194
bzr 0.14 2007-01-23
4195
--------------------
4196
4197
IMPROVEMENTS:
4198
4199
* ``bzr help global-options`` describes the global options. (Aaron Bentley)
4200
4201
BUG FIXES:
4202
4203
* Skip documentation generation tests if the tools to do so are not
4204
available. Fixes running selftest for installled copies of bzr.
4205
(John Arbash Meinel, #80330)
4206
4207
* Fix the code that discovers whether bzr is being run from it's
4208
working tree to handle the case when it isn't but the directory
4209
it is in is below a repository. (James Westby, #77306)

4211
4212
bzr 0.14rc1 2007-01-16
4213
-----------------------
4214
4215
IMPROVEMENTS:
4216
4217
* New connection: ``bzr+http://`` which supports tunnelling the smart
4218
protocol over an HTTP connection. If writing is enabled on the bzr
4219
server, then you can write over the http connection.
4220
(Andrew Bennetts, John Arbash Meinel)
4221
4222
* Aliases now support quotation marks, so they can contain whitespace
4223
(Marius Kruger)
4224
4225
* PyCurlTransport now use a single curl object. By specifying explicitly
4226
the 'Range' header, we avoid the need to use two different curl objects
4227
(and two connections to the same server). (Vincent Ladeuil)
4228
4229
* ``bzr commit`` does not prompt for a message until it is very likely to
4230
succeed. (Aaron Bentley)
4231
4232
* ``bzr conflicts`` now takes --text to list pathnames of text conflicts
4233
(Aaron Bentley)
4234
4235
* Fix ``iter_lines_added_or_present_in_versions`` to use a set instead
4236
of a list while checking if a revision id was requested. Takes 10s
4237
off of the ``fileids_affected_by_revision_ids`` time, which is 10s
4238
of the ``bzr branch`` time. Also improve ``fileids_...`` time by
4239
filtering lines with a regex rather than multiple ``str.find()``
4240
calls. (saves another 300ms) (John Arbash Meinel)
4241
4242
* Policy can be set for each configuration key. This allows keys to be
4243
inherited properly across configuration entries. For example, this
4244
should enable you to do::
4245
4246
[/home/user/project]
4247
push_location = sftp://host/srv/project/
4248
push_location:policy = appendpath
4249
4250
And then a branch like ``/home/user/project/mybranch`` should get an
4251
automatic push location of ``sftp://host/srv/project/mybranch``.
4252
(James Henstridge)
4253
4254
* Added ``bzr status --short`` to make status report svn style flags
4255
for each file. For example::
4256
4257
$ bzr status --short
4258
A foo
4259
A bar
4260
D baz
4261
? wooley
4262
4263
* 'bzr selftest --clean-output' allows easily clean temporary tests
4264
directories without running tests. (Alexander Belchenko)
4265
4266
* ``bzr help hidden-commands`` lists all hidden commands. (Aaron Bentley)
4267
4268
* ``bzr merge`` now has an option ``--pull`` to fall back to pull if
4269
local is fully merged into remote. (Jan Hudec)
4270
4271
* ``bzr help formats`` describes available directory formats. (Aaron Bentley)
4272
4273
INTERNALS:
4274
4275
* A few tweaks directly to ``fileids_affected_by_revision_ids`` to
4276
help speed up processing, as well allowing to extract unannotated
4277
lines. Between the two ``fileids_affected_by_revision_ids`` is
4278
improved by approx 10%. (John Arbash Meinel)
4279
4280
* Change Revision serialization to only write out millisecond
4281
resolution. Rather than expecting floating point serialization to
4282
preserve more resolution than we need. (Henri Weichers, Martin Pool)
4283
4284
* Test suite ends cleanly on Windows. (Vincent Ladeuil)
4285
4286
* When ``encoding_type`` attribute of class Command is equal to 'exact',
4287
force sys.stdout to be a binary stream on Windows, and therefore
4288
keep exact line-endings (without LF -> CRLF conversion).
4289
(Alexander Belchenko)
4290
4291
* Single-letter short options are no longer globally declared. (Martin
4292
Pool)
4293
4294
* Before using detected user/terminal encoding bzr should check
4295
that Python has corresponding codec. (Alexander Belchenko)
4296
4297
* Formats for end-user selection are provided via a FormatRegistry (Aaron Bentley)
4298
4299
BUG FIXES:
4300
4301
* ``bzr missing --verbose`` was showing adds/removals in the wrong
4302
direction. (John Arbash Meinel)
4303
4304
* ``bzr annotate`` now defaults to showing dotted revnos for merged
4305
revisions. It cuts them off at a depth of 12 characters, but you can
4306
supply ``--long`` to see the full number. You can also use
4307
``--show-ids`` to display the original revision ids, rather than
4308
revision numbers and committer names. (John Arbash Meinel, #75637)
4309
4310
* bzr now supports Win32 UNC path (e.g. ``\HOST\path``.
4311
(Alexander Belchenko, #57869)
4312
4313
* Win32-specific: output of cat, bundle and diff commands don't mangle
4314
line-endings (Alexander Belchenko, #55276)
4315
4316
* Replace broken fnmatch based ignore pattern matching with custom pattern
4317
matcher.
4318
(Kent Gibson, Jan Hudec #57637)
4319
4320
* pycurl and urllib can detect short reads at different places. Update
4321
the test suite to test more cases. Also detect http error code 416
4322
which was raised for that specific bug. Also enhance the urllib
4323
robustness by detecting invalid ranges (and pycurl's one by detecting
4324
short reads during the initial GET). (Vincent Ladeuil, #73948)
4325
4326
* The urllib connection sharing interacts badly with urllib2
4327
proxy setting (the connections didn't go thru the proxy
4328
anymore). Defining a proper ProxyHandler solves the
4329
problem. (Vincent Ladeuil, #74759)
4330
4331
* Use urlutils to generate relative URLs, not osutils
4332
(Aaron Bentley, #76229)
4333
4334
* ``bzr status`` in a readonly directory should work without giving
4335
lots of errors. (John Arbash Meinel, #76299)
4336
4337
* Mention the revisionspec topic for the revision option help.
4338
(Wouter van Heyst, #31663)
4339
4340
* Allow plugins import from zip archives.

4352
IMPROVEMENTS:
4353
4354
* New command ``bzr remove-tree`` allows the removal of the working
4355
tree from a branch.
4356
(Daniel Silverstone)
4357
4358
* urllib uses shared keep-alive connections, so http
4359
operations are substantially faster.
4360
(Vincent Ladeuil, #53654)
4361
4362
* ``bzr export`` allows an optional branch parameter, to export a bzr
4363
tree from some other url. For example:
4364
``bzr export bzr.tar.gz http://bazaar-vcs.org/bzr/bzr.dev``
4365
(Daniel Silverstone)
4366
4367
* Added ``bzr help topics`` to the bzr help system. This gives a
4368
location for general information, outside of a specific command.
4369
This includes updates for ``bzr help revisionspec`` the first topic
4370
included. (Goffredo Baroncelli, John Arbash Meinel, #42714)
4371
4372
* WSGI-compatible HTTP smart server. See ``doc/http_smart_server.txt``.
4373
(Andrew Bennetts)
4374
4375
* Knit files will now cache full texts only when the size of the
4376
deltas is as large as the size of the fulltext. (Or after 200
4377
deltas, whichever comes first). This has the most benefit on large
4378
files with small changes, such as the inventory for a large project.
4379
(eg For a project with 2500 files, and 7500 revisions, it changes
4380
the size of inventory.knit from 11MB to 5.4MB) (John Arbash Meinel)
4381
4382
INTERNALS:
4383
4384
* New -D option given before the command line turns on debugging output
4385
for particular areas. -Derror shows tracebacks on all errors.
4386
(Martin Pool)
4387
4388
* Clean up ``bzr selftest --benchmark bundle`` to correct an import,
4389
and remove benchmarks that take longer than 10min to run.
4390
(John Arbash Meinel)
4391
4392
* Use ``time.time()`` instead of ``time.clock()`` to decide on
4393
progress throttling. Because ``time.clock()`` is actually CPU time,
4394
so over a high-latency connection, too many updates get throttled.
4395
(John Arbash Meinel)
4396
4397
* ``MemoryTransport.list_dir()`` would strip the first character for
4398
files or directories in root directory. (John Arbash Meinel)
4399
4400
* New method ``get_branch_reference`` on 'BzrDir' allows the detection of
4401
branch references - which the smart server component needs.
4402
4403
* New ``ChrootTransportDecorator``, accessible via the ``chroot+`` url
4404
prefix. It disallows any access to locations above a set URL. (Andrew
4405
Bennetts)
4406
4407
BUG FIXES:
4408
4409
* Now ``_KnitIndex`` properly decode revision ids when loading index data.
4410
And optimize the knit index parsing code.
4411
(Dmitry Vasiliev, John Arbash Meinel)
4412
4413
* ``bzrlib/bzrdir.py`` was directly referencing ``bzrlib.workingtree``,
4414
without importing it. This prevented ``bzr upgrade`` from working
4415
unless a plugin already imported ``bzrlib.workingtree``
4416
(John Arbash Meinel, #70716)
4417
4418
* Suppress the traceback on invalid URLs (Vincent Ladeuil, #70803).
4419
4420
* Give nicer error message when an http server returns a 403
4421
error code. (Vincent Ladeuil, #57644).
4422
4423
* When a multi-range http GET request fails, try a single
4424
range one. If it fails too, forget about ranges. Remember that until
4425
the death of the transport and propagates that to the clones.
4426
(Vincent Ladeuil, #62276, #62029).
4427
4428
* Handles user/passwords supplied in url from command
4429
line (for the urllib implementation). Don't request already
4430
known passwords (Vincent Ladeuil, #42383, #44647, #48527)
4431
4432
* ``_KnitIndex.add_versions()`` dictionary compresses revision ids as they
4433
are added. This fixes bug where fetching remote revisions records
4434
them as full references rather than integers.
4435
(John Arbash Meinel, #64789)
4436
4437
* ``bzr ignore`` strips trailing slashes in patterns.
4438
Also ``bzr ignore`` rejects absolute paths. (Kent Gibson, #4559)
4439
4440
* ``bzr ignore`` takes multiple arguments. (Cheuksan Edward Wang, #29488)
4441
4442
* mv correctly handles paths that traverse symlinks.
4443
(Aaron Bentley, #66964)
4444
4445
* Give nicer looking error messages when failing to connect over ssh.
4446
(John Arbash Meinel, #49172)
4447
4448
* Pushing to a remote branch does not currently update the remote working
4449
tree. After a remote push, ``bzr status`` and ``bzr diff`` on the remote
4450
machine now show that the working tree is out of date.
4451
(Cheuksan Edward Wang #48136)
4452
4453
* Use patiencediff instead of difflib for determining deltas to insert
4454
into knits. This avoids the O(N^3) behavior of difflib. Patience
4455
diff should be O(N^2). (Cheuksan Edward Wang, #65714)
4456
4457
* Running ``bzr log`` on nonexistent file gives an error instead of the
4458
entire log history. (Cheuksan Edward Wang #50793)
4459
4460
* ``bzr cat`` can look up contents of removed or renamed files. If the
4461
pathname is ambiguous, i.e. the files in the old and new trees have
4462
different id's, the default is the file in the new tree. The user can
4463
use "--name-from-revision" to select the file in the old tree.
4464
(Cheuksan Edward Wang, #30190)
4465
4466
TESTING:
4467
4468
* TestingHTTPRequestHandler really handles the Range header
4469
(previously it was ignoring it and returning the whole file,).

4472
--------------------
4473
4474
INTERNALS:
4475
4476
* Clean up ``bzr selftest --benchmark bundle`` to correct an import,
4477
and remove benchmarks that take longer than 10min to run.
4478
(John Arbash Meinel)
4479
4480
bzr 0.12rc1 2006-10-23
4481
-----------------------
4482
4483
IMPROVEMENTS:
4484
4485
* ``bzr log`` now shows dotted-decimal revision numbers for all revisions,
4486
rather than just showing a decimal revision number for revisions on the
4487
mainline. These revision numbers are not yet accepted as input into bzr
4488
commands such as log, diff etc. (Robert Collins)
4489
4490
* revisions can now be specified using dotted-decimal revision numbers.
4491
For instance, ``bzr diff -r 1.2.1..1.2.3``. (Robert Collins)
4492
4493
* ``bzr help commands`` output is now shorter (Aaron Bentley)
4494
4495
* ``bzr`` now uses lazy importing to reduce the startup time. This has
4496
a moderate effect on lots of actions, especially ones that have
4497
little to do. For example ``bzr rocks`` time is down to 116ms from
4498
283ms. (John Arbash Meinel)
4499
4500
* New Registry class to provide name-to-object registry-like support,
4501
for example for schemes where plugins can register new classes to
4502
do certain tasks (e.g. log formatters). Also provides lazy registration
4503
to allow modules to be loaded on request.
4504
(John Arbash Meinel, Adeodato Simó)
4505
4506
API INCOMPATABILITY:
4507
4508
* LogFormatter subclasses show now expect the 'revno' parameter to
4509
show() to be a string rather than an int. (Robert Collins)
4510
4511
INTERNALS:
4512
4513
* ``TestCase.run_bzr``, ``run_bzr_captured``, and ``run_bzr_subprocess``
4514
can take a ``working_dir='foo'`` parameter, which will change directory
4515
for the command. (John Arbash Meinel)
4516
4517
* ``bzrlib.lazy_regex.lazy_compile`` can be used to create a proxy
4518
around a regex, which defers compilation until first use.
4519
(John Arbash Meinel)
4520
4521
* ``TestCase.run_bzr_subprocess`` defaults to supplying the
4522
``--no-plugins`` parameter to ensure test reproducability, and avoid
4523
problems with system-wide installed plugins. (John Arbash Meinel)
4524
4525
* Unique tree root ids are now supported. Newly created trees still
4526
use the common root id for compatibility with bzr versions before 0.12.
4527
(Aaron Bentley)
4528
4529
* ``WorkingTree.set_root_id(None)`` is now deprecated. Please
4530
pass in ``inventory.ROOT_ID`` if you want the default root id value.
4531
(Robert Collins, John Arbash Meinel)
4532
4533
* New method ``WorkingTree.flush()`` which will write the current memory
4534
inventory out to disk. At the same time, ``read_working_inventory`` will
4535
no longer trash the current tree inventory if it has been modified within
4536
the current lock, and the tree will now ``flush()`` automatically on
4537
``unlock()``. ``WorkingTree.set_root_id()`` has been updated to take
4538
advantage of this functionality. (Robert Collins, John Arbash Meinel)
4539
4540
* ``bzrlib.tsort.merge_sorted`` now accepts ``generate_revnos``. This
4541
parameter will cause it to add another column to its output, which
4542
contains the dotted-decimal revno for each revision, as a tuple.
4543
(Robert Collins)
4544
4545
* ``LogFormatter.show_merge`` is deprecated in favour of
4546
``LogFormatter.show_merge_revno``. (Robert Collins)
4547
4548
BUG FIXES:
4549
4550
* Avoid circular imports by creating a deprecated function for
4551
``bzrlib.tree.RevisionTree``. Callers should have been using
4552
``bzrlib.revisontree.RevisionTree`` anyway. (John Arbash Meinel,
4553
#63360, #66349)
4554
4555
* Don't use ``socket.MSG_WAITALL`` as it doesn't exist on all
4556
platforms. (Martin Pool, #66356)
4557
4558
* Don't require ``Content-Type`` in range responses. Assume they are a
4559
single range if ``Content-Type`` does not exist.
4560
(John Arbash Meinel, #62473)
4561
4562
* bzr branch/pull no longer complain about progress bar cleanup when
4563
interrupted during fetch. (Aaron Bentley, #54000)
4564
4565
* ``WorkingTree.set_parent_trees()`` uses the trees to directly write
4566
the basis inventory, rather than going through the repository. This
4567
allows us to have 1 inventory read, and 2 inventory writes when
4568
committing a new tree. (John Arbash Meinel)
4569
4570
* When reverting, files that are not locally modified that do not exist
4571
in the target are deleted, not just unversioned (Aaron Bentley)
4572
4573
* When trying to acquire a lock, don't fail immediately. Instead, try
4574
a few times (up to 1 hour) before timing out. Also, report why the
4575
lock is unavailable (John Arbash Meinel, #43521, #49556)
4576
4577
* Leave HttpTransportBase daughter classes decides how they
4578
implement cloning. (Vincent Ladeuil, #61606)
4579
4580
* diff3 does not indicate conflicts on clean merge. (Aaron Bentley)
4581
4582
* If a commit fails, the commit message is stored in a file at the root of
4583
the tree for later commit. (Cheuksan Edward Wang, Stefan Metzmacher,
4584
#32054)
4585
4586
TESTING:
4587
4588
* New test base class TestCaseWithMemoryTransport offers memory-only
4589
testing facilities: its not suitable for tests that need to mutate disk
4590
state, but most tests should not need that and should be converted to
4591
TestCaseWithMemoryTransport. (Robert Collins)
4592
4593
* ``TestCase.make_branch_and_memory_tree`` now takes a format
4594
option to set the BzrDir, Repository and Branch formats of the
4595
created objects. (Robert Collins, John Arbash Meinel)
4596
4597
bzr 0.11 2006-10-02

-----------------------
4604
4605
BUG FIXES:
4606
4607
* Test suite hangs on windows fixed. (Andrew Bennets, Alexander Belchenko).
4608
4609
* Commit performance regression fixed. (Aaron Bentley, Robert Collins, John
4610
Arbash Meinel).

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

5024
* sftp tests now work correctly on win32 if you have a newer paramiko
5025
(John Arbash Meinel)
5026
5027
* Cleanup win32 test suite, and general cleanup of places where
5028
file handles were being held open. (John Arbash Meinel)
5029
5030
* When specifying filenames for 'diff -r x..y', the name of the file in the
5031
working directory can be used, even if its name is different in both x
5032
and y.
5033
5034
* File-ids containing single- or double-quotes are handled correctly by
5035
push. (Aaron Bentley, #52227)
5036
5037
* Normalize unicode filenames to ensure cross-platform consistency.
5038
(John Arbash Meinel, #43689)
5039
5040
* The argument parser can now handle '-' as an argument. Currently
5041
no code interprets it specially (it is mostly handled as a file named
5042
'-'). But plugins, and future operations can use it.
5043
(John Arbash meinel, #50984)
5044
5045
* Bundles can properly read binary files with a plain '\r' in them.
5046
(John Arbash Meinel, #51927)
5047
5048
* Tuning ``iter_entries()`` to be more efficient (John Arbash Meinel, #5444)
5049
5050
* Lots of win32 fixes (the test suite passes again).
5051
(John Arbash Meinel, #50155)
5052
5053
* Handle openbsd returning None for sys.getfilesystemencoding() (#41183)
5054
5055
* Support ftp APPE (append) to allow Knits to be used over ftp (#42592)
5056
5057
* Removals are only committed if they match the filespec (or if there is
5058
no filespec). (#46635, Aaron Bentley)
5059
5060
* smart-add recurses through all supplied directories
5061
(John Arbash Meinel, #52578)
5062
5063
* Make the bundle reader extra lines before and after the bundle text.
5064
This allows you to parse an email with the bundle inline.
5065
(John Arbash Meinel, #49182)
5066
5067
* Change the file id generator to squash a little bit more. Helps when
5068
working with long filenames on windows. (Also helps for unicode filenames
5069
not generating hidden files). (John Arbash Meinel, #43801)
5070
5071
* Restore terminal mode on C-c while reading sftp password. (#48923,
5072
Nicholas Allen, Martin Pool)
5073
5074
* Timestamps are rounded to 1ms, and revision entries can be recreated
5075
exactly. (John Arbash Meinel, Jamie Wilkinson, #40693)
5076
5077
* Branch.base has changed to a URL, but ~/.bazaar/locations.conf should
5078
use local paths, since it is user visible (John Arbash Meinel, #53653)
5079
5080
* ``bzr status foo`` when foo was unversioned used to cause a full delta
5081
to be generated (John Arbash Meinel, #53638)
5082
5083
* When reading revision properties, an empty value should be considered
5084
the empty string, not None (John Arbash Meinel, #47782)
5085
5086
* ``bzr diff --diff-options`` can now handle binary files being changed.
5087
Also, the output is consistent when --diff-options is not supplied.
5088
(John Arbash Meinel, #54651, #52930)
5089
5090
* Use the right suffixes for loading plugins (John Arbash Meinel, #51810)
5091
5092
* Fix ``Branch.get_parent()`` to handle the case when the parent is not
5093
accessible (John Arbash Meinel, #52976)
5094
5095
INTERNALS:
5096
5097
* Combine the ignore rules into a single regex rather than looping over
5098
them to reduce the threshold where N^2 behaviour occurs in operations
5099
like status. (Jan Hudec, Robert Collins).
5100
5101
* Appending to ``bzrlib.DEFAULT_IGNORE`` is now deprecated. Instead, use
5102
one of the add functions in bzrlib.ignores. (John Arbash Meinel)
5103
5104
* 'bzr push' should only push the ancestry of the current revision, not
5105
all of the history in the repository. This is especially important for
5106
shared repositories. (John Arbash Meinel)
5107
5108
* ``bzrlib.delta.compare_trees`` now iterates in alphabetically sorted order,
5109
rather than randomly walking the inventories. (John Arbash Meinel)
5110
5111
* Doctests are now run in temporary directories which are cleaned up when
5112
they finish, rather than using special ScratchDir/ScratchBranch objects.
5113
(Martin Pool)
5114
5115
* Split ``check`` into separate methods on the branch and on the repository,
5116
so that it can be specialized in ways that are useful or efficient for
5117
different formats. (Martin Pool, Robert Collins)
5118
5119
* Deprecate ``Repository.all_revision_ids``; most methods don't really need
5120
the global revision graph but only that part leading up to a particular
5121
revision. (Martin Pool, Robert Collins)
5122
5123
* Add a BzrDirFormat ``control_formats`` list which allows for control formats
5124
that do not use '.bzr' to store their data - i.e. '.svn', '.hg' etc.
5125
(Robert Collins, Jelmer Vernooij).
5126
5127
* ``bzrlib.diff.external_diff`` can be redirected to any file-like object.
5128
Uses subprocess instead of spawnvp.
5129
(James Henstridge, John Arbash Meinel, #4047, #48914)
5130
5131
* New command line option '--profile-imports', which will install a custom
5132
importer to log time to import modules and regex compilation time to
5133
sys.stderr (John Arbash Meinel)
5134
5135
* 'EmptyTree' is now deprecated, please use ``repository.revision_tree(None)``
5136
instead. (Robert Collins)
5137
5138
* "RevisionTree" is now in bzrlib/revisiontree.py. (Robert Collins)

bzr 0.8 2006-05-08
5196
-------------------
5197
5198
NOTES WHEN UPGRADING:
5199
5200
Release 0.8 of bzr introduces a new format for history storage, called
5201
'knit', as an evolution of to the 'weave' format used in 0.7. Local
5202
and remote operations are faster using knits than weaves. Several
5203
operations including 'init', 'init-repo', and 'upgrade' take a
5204
--format option that controls this. Branching from an existing branch
5205
will keep the same format.
5206
5207
It is possible to merge, pull and push between branches of different
5208
formats but this is slower than moving data between homogenous
5209
branches. It is therefore recommended (but not required) that you
5210
upgrade all branches for a project at the same time. Information on
5211
formats is shown by 'bzr info'.
5212
5213
bzr 0.8 now allows creation of 'repositories', which hold the history
5214
of files and revisions for several branches. Previously bzr kept all
5215
the history for a branch within the .bzr directory at the root of the
5216
branch, and this is still the default. To create a repository, use
5217
the new 'bzr init-repo' command. Branches exist as directories under
5218
the repository and contain just a small amount of information
5219
indicating the current revision of the branch.
5220
5221
bzr 0.8 also supports 'checkouts', which are similar to in cvs and
5222
subversion. Checkouts are associated with a branch (optionally in a
5223
repository), which contains all the historical information. The
5224
result is that a checkout can be deleted without losing any
5225
already-committed revisions. A new 'update' command is also available.
5226
5227
Repositories and checkouts are not supported with the 0.7 storage
5228
format. To use them you must upgrad to either knits, or to the
5229
'metaweave' format, which uses weaves but changes the .bzr directory
5230
arrangement.
5231
5232
5233
IMPROVEMENTS:
5234
5235
* Sftp paths can now be relative, or local, according to the lftp
5236
convention. Paths now take the form::
5237
5238
sftp://user:pass@host:port/~/relative/path
5239
or
5240
sftp://user:pass@host:port/absolute/path
5241
5242
* The FTP transport now tries to reconnect after a temporary
5243
failure. ftp put is made atomic. (Matthieu Moy)
5244
5245
* The FTP transport now maintains a pool of connections, and
5246
reuses them to avoid multiple connections to the same host (like
5247
sftp did). (Daniel Silverstone)
5248
5249
* The ``bzr_man.py`` file has been removed. To create the man page now,
5250
use ``./generate_docs.py man``. The new program can also create other files.
5251
Run ``python generate_docs.py --help`` for usage information.
5252
(Hans Ulrich Niedermann & James Blackwell).
5253
5254
* Man Page now gives full help (James Blackwell).
5255
Help also updated to reflect user config now being stored in .bazaar
5256
(Hans Ulrich Niedermann)
5257
5258
* It's now possible to set aliases in bazaar.conf (Erik Bågfors)
5259
5260
* Pull now accepts a --revision argument (Erik Bågfors)
5261
5262
* ``bzr re-sign`` now allows multiple revisions to be supplied on the command
5263
line. You can now use the following command to sign all of your old
5264
commits::
5265
5266
find .bzr/revision-store// -name my@email-* \
5267
| sed 's/.*\/\/..\///' \
5268
| xargs bzr re-sign
5269
5270
* Upgrade can now upgrade over the network. (Robert Collins)
5271
5272
* Two new commands 'bzr checkout' and 'bzr update' allow for CVS/SVN-alike
5273
behaviour. By default they will cache history in the checkout, but
5274
with --lightweight almost all data is kept in the master branch.
5275
(Robert Collins)
5276
5277
* 'revert' unversions newly-versioned files, instead of deleting them.
5278
5279
* 'merge' is more robust. Conflict messages have changed.
5280
5281
* 'merge' and 'revert' no longer clobber existing files that end in '~' or
5282
'.moved'.
5283
5284
* Default log format can be set in configuration and plugins can register
5285
their own formatters. (Erik Bågfors)
5286
5287
* New 'reconcile' command will check branch consistency and repair indexes
5288
that can become out of sync in pre 0.8 formats. (Robert Collins,
5289
Daniel Silverstone)
5290
5291
* New 'bzr init --format' and 'bzr upgrade --format' option to control
5292
what storage format is created or produced. (Robert Collins,
5293
Martin Pool)
5294
5295
* Add parent location to 'bzr info', if there is one. (Olaf Conradi)
5296
5297
* New developer commands 'weave-list' and 'weave-join'. (Martin Pool)
5298
5299
* New 'init-repository' command, plus support for repositories in 'init'
5300
and 'branch' (Aaron Bentley, Erik Bågfors, Robert Collins)
5301
5302
* Improve output of 'info' command. Show all relevant locations related to
5303
working tree, branch and repository. Use kibibytes for binary quantities.
5304
Fix off-by-one error in missing revisions of working tree. Make 'info'
5305
work on branches, repositories and remote locations. Show locations
5306
relative to the shared repository, if applicable. Show locking status
5307
of locations. (Olaf Conradi)
5308
5309
* Diff and merge now safely handle binary files. (Aaron Bentley)
5310
5311
* 'pull' and 'push' now normalise the revision history, so that any two
5312
branches with the same tip revision will have the same output from 'log'.
5313
(Robert Collins)
5314
5315
* 'merge' accepts --remember option to store parent location, like 'push'
5316
and 'pull'. (Olaf Conradi)
5317
5318
* bzr status and diff when files given as arguments do not exist
5319
in the relevant trees. (Martin Pool, #3619)
5320
5321
* Add '.hg' to the default ignore list. (Martin Pool)
5322
5323
* 'knit' is now the default disk format. This improves disk performance and
5324
utilization, increases incremental pull performance, robustness with SFTP
5325
and allows checkouts over SFTP to perform acceptably.
5326
The initial Knit code was contributed by Johan Rydberg based on a
5327
specification by Martin Pool.
5328
(Robert Collins, Aaron Bentley, Johan Rydberg, Martin Pool).
5329
5330
* New tool to generate all-in-one html version of the manual. (Alexander
5331
Belchenko)
5332
5333
* Hitting CTRL-C while doing an SFTP push will no longer cause stale locks
5334
to be left in the SFTP repository. (Robert Collins, Martin Pool).
5335
5336
* New option 'diff --prefix' to control how files are named in diff
5337
output, with shortcuts '-p0' and '-p1' corresponding to the options for
5338
GNU patch. (Alexander Belchenko, Goffredo Baroncelli, Martin Pool)
5339
5340
* Add --revision option to 'annotate' command. (Olaf Conradi)
5341
5342
* If bzr shows an unexpected revision-history after pulling (perhaps due
5343
to a reweave) it can now be corrected by 'bzr reconcile'.
5344
(Robert Collins)
5345
5346
CHANGES:
5347
5348
* Commit is now verbose by default, and shows changed filenames and the
5349
new revision number. (Robert Collins, Martin Pool)
5350
5351
* Unify 'mv', 'move', 'rename'. (Matthew Fuller, #5379)
5352
5353
* 'bzr -h' shows help. (Martin Pool, Ian Bicking, #35940)
5354
5355
* Make 'pull' and 'push' remember location on failure using --remember.
5356
(Olaf Conradi)
5357
5358
* For compatibility, make old format for using weaves inside metadir
5359
available as 'metaweave' format. Rename format 'metadir' to 'default'.
5360
Clean up help for option --format in commands 'init', 'init-repo' and
5361
'upgrade'. (Olaf Conradi)
5362
5363
INTERNALS:
5364
5365
* The internal storage of history, and logical branch identity have now
5366
been split into Branch, and Repository. The common locking and file
5367
management routines are now in bzrlib.lockablefiles.
5368
(Aaron Bentley, Robert Collins, Martin Pool)
5369
5370
* Transports can now raise DependencyNotPresent if they need a library
5371
which is not installed, and then another implementation will be
5372
tried. (Martin Pool)
5373
5374
* Remove obsolete (and no-op) `decode` parameter to `Transport.get`.
5375
(Martin Pool)
5376
5377
* Using Tree Transform for merge, revert, tree-building
5378
5379
* WorkingTree.create, Branch.create, ``WorkingTree.create_standalone``,
5380
Branch.initialize are now deprecated. Please see ``BzrDir.create_*`` for
5381
replacement API's. (Robert Collins)
5382
5383
* New BzrDir class represents the .bzr control directory and manages
5384
formatting issues. (Robert Collins)
5385
5386
* New repository.InterRepository class encapsulates Repository to
5387
Repository actions and allows for clean selection of optimised code
5388
paths. (Robert Collins)
5389
5390
* ``bzrlib.fetch.fetch`` and ``bzrlib.fetch.greedy_fetch`` are now
5391
deprecated, please use ``branch.fetch`` or ``repository.fetch``
5392
depending on your needs. (Robert Collins)
5393
5394
* deprecated methods now have a ``is_deprecated`` flag on them that can
5395
be checked, if you need to determine whether a given callable is
5396
deprecated at runtime. (Robert Collins)
5397
5398
* Progress bars are now nested - see
5399
``bzrlib.ui.ui_factory.nested_progress_bar``.
5400
(Robert Collins, Robey Pointer)
5401
5402
* New API call ``get_format_description()`` for each type of format.
5403
(Olaf Conradi)
5404
5405
* Changed ``branch.set_parent()`` to accept None to remove parent.
5406
(Olaf Conradi)
5407
5408
* Deprecated BzrError AmbiguousBase. (Olaf Conradi)
5409
5410
* WorkingTree.branch is now a read only property. (Robert Collins)
5411
5412
* bzrlib.ui.text.TextUIFactory now accepts a ``bar_type`` parameter which
5413
can be None or a factory that will create a progress bar. This is
5414
useful for testing or for overriding the bzrlib.progress heuristic.
5415
(Robert Collins)
5416
5417
* New API method ``get_physical_lock_status()`` to query locks present on a
5418
transport. (Olaf Conradi)
5419
5420
* Repository.reconcile now takes a thorough keyword parameter to allow
5421
requesting an indepth reconciliation, rather than just a data-loss
5422
check. (Robert Collins)
5423
5424
* ``bzrlib.ui.ui_factory protocol`` now supports ``get_boolean`` to prompt
5425
the user for yes/no style input. (Robert Collins)
5426
5427
TESTING:
5428
5429
* SFTP tests now shortcut the SSH negotiation, reducing test overhead
5430
for testing SFTP protocol support. (Robey Pointer)
5431
5432
* Branch formats are now tested once per implementation (see ``bzrlib.
5433
tests.branch_implementations``. This is analagous to the transport
5434
interface tests, and has been followed up with working tree,
5435
repository and BzrDir tests. (Robert Collins)
5436
5437
* New test base class TestCaseWithTransport provides a transport aware
5438
test environment, useful for testing any transport-interface using
5439
code. The test suite option --transport controls the transport used
5440
by this class (when its not being used as part of implementation
5441
contract testing). (Robert Collins)
5442
5443
* Close logging handler on disabling the test log. This will remove the
5444
handler from the internal list inside python's logging module,
5445
preventing shutdown from closing it twice. (Olaf Conradi)
5446
5447
* Move test case for uncommit to blackbox tests. (Olaf Conradi)
5448
5449
* ``run_bzr`` and ``run_bzr_captured`` now accept a 'stdin="foo"'
5450
parameter which will provide String("foo") to the command as its stdin.

bzr 0.7 2006-01-09
5453
------------------
5454
5455
CHANGES:
5456
5457
* .bzrignore is excluded from exports, on the grounds that it's a bzr
5458
internal-use file and may not be wanted. (Jamie Wilkinson)
5459
5460
* The "bzr directories" command were removed in favor of the new
5461
--kind option to the "bzr inventory" command. To list all
5462
versioned directories, now use "bzr inventory --kind directory".
5463
(Johan Rydberg)
5464
5465
* Under Windows configuration directory is now ``%APPDATA%\bazaar\2.0``
5466
by default. (John Arbash Meinel)
5467
5468
* The parent of Bzr configuration directory can be set by ``BZR_HOME``
5469
environment variable. Now the path for it is searched in ``BZR_HOME``,
5470
then in HOME. Under Windows the order is: ``BZR_HOME``, ``APPDATA``
5471
(usually points to ``C:\Documents and Settings\User Name\Application Data``),
5472
``HOME``. (John Arbash Meinel)
5473
5474
* Plugins with the same name in different directories in the bzr plugin
5475
path are no longer loaded: only the first successfully loaded one is
5476
used. (Robert Collins)
5477
5478
* Use systems' external ssh command to open connections if possible.
5479
This gives better integration with user settings such as ProxyCommand.
5480
(James Henstridge)
5481
5482
* Permissions on files underneath .bzr/ are inherited from the .bzr
5483
directory. So for a shared repository, simply doing 'chmod -R g+w .bzr/'
5484
will mean that future file will be created with group write permissions.
5485
5486
* configure.in and config.guess are no longer in the builtin default
5487
ignore list.
5488
5489
* '.sw[nop]' pattern ignored, to ignore vim swap files for nameless
5490
files. (John Arbash Meinel, Martin Pool)
5491
5492
IMPROVEMENTS:
5493
5494
* "bzr INIT dir" now initializes the specified directory, and creates
5495
it if it does not exist. (John Arbash Meinel)
5496
5497
* New remerge command (Aaron Bentley)
5498
5499
* Better zsh completion script. (Steve Borho)
5500
5501
* 'bzr diff' now returns 1 when there are changes in the working
5502
tree. (Robert Collins)
5503
5504
* 'bzr push' now exists and can push changes to a remote location.
5505
This uses the transport infrastructure, and can store the remote
5506
location in the ~/.bazaar/branches.conf configuration file.
5507
(Robert Collins)
5508
5509
* Test directories are only kept if the test fails and the user requests
5510
that they be kept.
5511
5512
* Tweaks to short log printing
5513
5514
* Added branch nicks, new nick command, printing them in log output.
5515
(Aaron Bentley)
5516
5517
* If ``$BZR_PDB`` is set, pop into the debugger when an uncaught exception
5518
occurs. (Martin Pool)
5519
5520
* Accept 'bzr resolved' (an alias for 'bzr resolve'), as this is
5521
the same as Subversion. (Martin Pool)
5522
5523
* New ftp transport support (on ftplib), for ftp:// and aftp://
5524
URLs. (Daniel Silverstone)
5525
5526
* Commit editor temporary files now start with ``bzr_log.``, to allow
5527
text editors to match the file name and set up appropriate modes or
5528
settings. (Magnus Therning)
5529
5530
* Improved performance when integrating changes from a remote weave.
5531
(Goffredo Baroncelli)
5532
5533
* Sftp will attempt to cache the connection, so it is more likely that
5534
a connection will be reused, rather than requiring multiple password
5535
requests.
5536
5537
* bzr revno now takes an optional argument indicating the branch whose
5538
revno should be printed. (Michael Ellerman)
5539
5540
* bzr cat defaults to printing the last version of the file.
5541
(Matthieu Moy, #3632)
5542
5543
* New global option 'bzr --lsprof COMMAND' runs bzr under the lsprof
5544
profiler. (Denys Duchier)
5545
5546
* Faster commits by reading only the headers of affected weave files.
5547
(Denys Duchier)
5548
5549
* 'bzr add' now takes a --dry-run parameter which shows you what would be
5550
added, but doesn't actually add anything. (Michael Ellerman)
5551
5552
* 'bzr add' now lists how many files were ignored per glob. add --verbose
5553
lists the specific files. (Aaron Bentley)
5554
5555
* 'bzr missing' now supports displaying changes in diverged trees and can
5556
be limited to show what either end of the comparison is missing.
5557
(Aaron Bently, with a little prompting from Daniel Silverstone)
5558
5559
BUG FIXES:
5560
5561
* SFTP can walk up to the root path without index errors. (Robert Collins)
5562
5563
* Fix bugs in running bzr with 'python -O'. (Martin Pool)
5564
5565
* Error when run with -OO
5566
5567
* Fix bug in reporting http errors that don't have an http error code.
5568
(Martin Pool)
5569
5570
* Handle more cases of pipe errors in display commands
5571
5572
* Change status to 3 for all errors
5573
5574
* Files that are added and unlinked before committing are completely
5575
ignored by diff and status
5576
5577
* Stores with some compressed texts and some uncompressed texts are now
5578
able to be used. (John A Meinel)
5579
5580
* Fix for bzr pull failing sometimes under windows
5581
5582
* Fix for sftp transport under windows when using interactive auth
5583
5584
* Show files which are both renamed and modified as such in 'bzr
5585
status' output. (Daniel Silverstone, #4503)
5586
5587
* Make annotate cope better with revisions committed without a valid
5588
email address. (Marien Zwart)
5589
5590
* Fix representation of tab characters in commit messages.
5591
(Harald Meland)
5592
5593
* List of plugin directories in ``BZR_PLUGIN_PATH`` environment variable is
5594
now parsed properly under Windows. (Alexander Belchenko)
5595
5596
* Show number of revisions pushed/pulled/merged. (Robey Pointer)
5597
5598
* Keep a cached copy of the basis inventory to speed up operations
5599
that need to refer to it. (Johan Rydberg, Martin Pool)
5600
5601
* Fix bugs in bzr status display of non-ascii characters.
5602
(Martin Pool)
5603
5604
* Remove Makefile.in from default ignore list.
5605
(Tollef Fog Heen, Martin Pool, #6413)
5606
5607
* Fix failure in 'bzr added'. (Nathan McCallum, Martin Pool)
5608
5609
TESTING:
5610
5611
* Fix selftest asking for passwords when there are no SFTP keys.
5612
(Robey Pointer, Jelmer Vernooij)
5613
5614
* Fix selftest run with 'python -O'. (Martin Pool)
5615
5616
* Fix HTTP tests under Windows. (John Arbash Meinel)
5617
5618
* Make tests work even if HOME is not set (Aaron Bentley)
5619
5620
* Updated ``build_tree`` to use fixed line-endings for tests which read
5621
the file cotents and compare. Make some tests use this to pass under
5622
Windows. (John Arbash Meinel)
5623
5624
* Skip stat and symlink tests under Windows. (Alexander Belchenko)
5625
5626
* Delay in selftest/testhashcash is now issued under win32 and Cygwin.
5627
(John Arbash Meinel)
5628
5629
* Use terminal width to align verbose test output. (Martin Pool)
5630
5631
* Blackbox tests are maintained within the bzrlib.tests.blackbox directory.
5632
If adding a new test script please add that to
5633
``bzrlib.tests.blackbox.__init__``. (Robert Collins)
5634
5635
* Much better error message if one of the test suites can't be
5636
imported. (Martin Pool)
5637
5638
* Make check now runs the test suite twice - once with the default locale,
5639
and once with all locales forced to C, to expose bugs. This is not
5640
trivially done within python, so for now its only triggered by running
5641
Make check. Integrators and packagers who wish to check for full
5642
platform support should run 'make check' to test the source.
5643
(Robert Collins)
5644
5645
* Tests can now run TestSkipped if they can't execute for any reason.
5646
(Martin Pool) (NB: TestSkipped should only be raised for correctable
5647
reasons - see the wiki spec ImprovingBzrTestSuite).
5648
5649
* Test sftp with relative, absolute-in-homedir and absolute-not-in-homedir
5650
paths for the transport tests. Introduce blackbox remote sftp tests that
5651
test the same permutations. (Robert Collins, Robey Pointer)
5652
5653
* Transport implementation tests are now independent of the local file
5654
system, which allows tests for esoteric transports, and for features
5655
not available in the local file system. They also repeat for variations
5656
on the URL scheme that can introduce issues in the transport code,
5657
see bzrlib.transport.TransportTestProviderAdapter() for this.
5658
(Robert Collins).
5659
5660
* ``TestCase.build_tree`` uses the transport interface to build trees,
5661
pass in a transport parameter to give it an existing connection.
5662
(Robert Collins).
5663
5664
INTERNALS:
5665
5666
* WorkingTree.pull has been split across Branch and WorkingTree,
5667
to allow Branch only pulls. (Robert Collins)
5668
5669
* ``commands.display_command`` now returns the result of the decorated
5670
function. (Robert Collins)
5671
5672
* LocationConfig now has a ``set_user_option(key, value)`` call to save
5673
a setting in its matching location section (a new one is created
5674
if needed). (Robert Collins)
5675
5676
* Branch has two new methods, ``get_push_location`` and
5677
``set_push_location`` to respectively, get and set the push location.
5678
(Robert Collins)
5679
5680
* ``commands.register_command`` now takes an optional flag to signal that
5681
the registrant is planning to decorate an existing command. When
5682
given multiple plugins registering a command is not an error, and
5683
the original command class (whether built in or a plugin based one) is
5684
returned to the caller. There is a new error 'MustUseDecorated' for
5685
signalling when a wrapping command should switch to the original
5686
version. (Robert Collins)
5687
5688
* Some option parsing errors will raise 'BzrOptionError', allowing
5689
granular detection for decorating commands. (Robert Collins).
5690
5691
* ``Branch.read_working_inventory`` has moved to
5692
``WorkingTree.read_working_inventory``. This necessitated changes to
5693
``Branch.get_root_id``, and a move of ``Branch.set_inventory`` to
5694
WorkingTree as well. To make it clear that a WorkingTree cannot always
5695
be obtained ``Branch.working_tree()`` will raise
5696
``errors.NoWorkingTree`` if one cannot be obtained. (Robert Collins)
5697
5698
* All pending merges operations from Branch are now on WorkingTree.
5699
(Robert Collins)
5700
5701
* The follow operations from Branch have moved to WorkingTree::
5702
5703
add()
5704
commit()
5705
move()
5706
rename_one()
5707
unknowns()
5708
5709
(Robert Collins)
5710
5711
* ``bzrlib.add.smart_add_branch`` is now ``smart_add_tree``. (Robert Collins)
5712
5713
* New "rio" serialization format, similar to rfc-822. (Martin Pool)
5714
5715
* Rename selftests to ``bzrlib.tests.test_foo``. (John A Meinel, Martin
5716
Pool)
5717
5718
* ``bzrlib.plugin.all_plugins`` has been changed from an attribute to a
5719
query method. (Robert Collins)
5720
5721
* New options to read only the table-of-contents of a weave.
5722
(Denys Duchier)
5723
5724
* Raise NoSuchFile when someone tries to add a non-existant file.
5725
(Michael Ellerman)
5726
5727
* Simplify handling of DivergedBranches in ``cmd_pull()``.
5728
(Michael Ellerman)
5729
5730
* Branch.controlfile* logic has moved to lockablefiles.LockableFiles, which
5731
is exposed as ``Branch().control_files``. Also this has been altered with the
5732
controlfile pre/suffix replaced by simple method names like 'get' and
5733
'put'. (Aaron Bentley, Robert Collins).
5734
5735
* Deprecated functions and methods can now be marked as such using the
5736
``bzrlib.symbol_versioning`` module. Marked method have their docstring
5737
updated and will issue a DeprecationWarning using the warnings module
5738
when they are used. (Robert Collins)
5739
5740
* ``bzrlib.osutils.safe_unicode`` now exists to provide parameter coercion
5741
for functions that need unicode strings. (Robert Collins)
5742
5743
bzr 0.6 2005-10-28
5744
------------------
5745
5746
IMPROVEMENTS:
5747
5748
* pull now takes --verbose to show you what revisions are added or removed
5749
(John A Meinel)
5750
5751
* merge now takes a --show-base option to include the base text in
5752
conflicts.
5753
(Aaron Bentley)
5754
5755
* The config files are now read using ConfigObj, so '=' should be used as
5756
a separator, not ':'.
5757
(Aaron Bentley)
5758
5759
* New 'bzr commit --strict' option refuses to commit if there are
5760
any unknown files in the tree. To commit, make sure all files are
5761
either ignored, added, or deleted. (Michael Ellerman)
5762
5763
* The config directory is now ~/.bazaar, and there is a single file
5764
~/.bazaar/bazaar.conf storing email, editor and other preferences.
5765
(Robert Collins)
5766
5767
* 'bzr add' no longer takes a --verbose option, and a --quiet option
5768
has been added that suppresses all output.
5769
5770
* Improved zsh completion support in contrib/zsh, from Clint
5771
Adams.
5772
5773
* Builtin 'bzr annotate' command, by Martin Pool with improvements from
5774
Goffredo Baroncelli.
5775
5776
* 'bzr check' now accepts -v for verbose reporting, and checks for
5777
ghosts in the branch. (Robert Collins)
5778
5779
* New command 're-sign' which will regenerate the gpg signature for
5780
a revision. (Robert Collins)
5781
5782
* If you set ``check_signatures=require`` for a path in
5783
``~/.bazaar/branches.conf`` then bzr will invoke your
5784
``gpg_signing_command`` (defaults to gpg) and record a digital signature
5785
of your commit. (Robert Collins)
5786
5787
* New sftp transport, based on Paramiko. (Robey Pointer)
5788
5789
* 'bzr pull' now accepts '--clobber' which will discard local changes
5790
and make this branch identical to the source branch. (Robert Collins)
5791
5792
* Just give a quieter warning if a plugin can't be loaded, and
5793
put the details in .bzr.log. (Martin Pool)
5794
5795
* 'bzr branch' will now set the branch-name to the last component of the
5796
output directory, if one was supplied.
5797
5798
* If the option ``post_commit`` is set to one (or more) python function
5799
names (must be in the bzrlib namespace), then they will be invoked
5800
after the commit has completed, with the branch and ``revision_id`` as
5801
parameters. (Robert Collins)
5802
5803
* Merge now has a retcode of 1 when conflicts occur. (Robert Collins)
5804
5805
* --merge-type weave is now supported for file contents. Tree-shape
5806
changes are still three-way based. (Martin Pool, Aaron Bentley)
5807
5808
* 'bzr check' allows the first revision on revision-history to have
5809
parents - something that is expected for cheap checkouts, and occurs
5810
when conversions from baz do not have all history. (Robert Collins).
5811
5812
* 'bzr merge' can now graft unrelated trees together, if your specify
5813
0 as a base. (Aaron Bentley)
5814
5815
* 'bzr commit branch' and 'bzr commit branch/file1 branch/file2' now work
5816
(Aaron Bentley)
5817
5818
* Add '.sconsign*' to default ignore list. (Alexander Belchenko)
5819
5820
* 'bzr merge --reprocess' minimizes conflicts
5821
5822
TESTING:
5823
5824
* The 'bzr selftest --pattern' option for has been removed, now
5825
test specifiers on the command line can be simple strings, or
5826
regexps, or both. (Robert Collins)
5827
5828
* Passing -v to selftest will now show the time each test took to
5829
complete, which will aid in analysing performance regressions and
5830
related questions. (Robert Collins)
5831
5832
* 'bzr selftest' runs all tests, even if one fails, unless '--one'
5833
is given. (Martin Pool)
5834
5835
* There is a new method for TestCaseInTempDir, assertFileEqual, which
5836
will check that a given content is equal to the content of the named
5837
file. (Robert Collins)
5838
5839
* Fix test suite's habit of leaving many temporary log files in $TMPDIR.
5840
(Martin Pool)
5841
5842
INTERNALS:
5843
5844
* New 'testament' command and concept for making gpg-signatures
5845
of revisions that are not tied to a particular internal
5846
representation. (Martin Pool).
5847
5848
* Per-revision properties ('revprops') as key-value associated
5849
strings on each revision created when the revision is committed.
5850
Intended mainly for the use of external tools. (Martin Pool).
5851
5852
* Config options have moved from bzrlib.osutils to bzrlib.config.
5853
(Robert Collins)
5854
5855
* Improved command line option definitions allowing explanations
5856
for individual options, among other things. Contributed by
5857
Magnus Therning.
5858
5859
* Config options have moved from bzrlib.osutils to bzrlib.config.
5860
Configuration is now done via the config.Config interface:
5861
Depending on whether you have a Branch, a Location or no information
5862
available, construct a ``*Config``, and use its ``signature_checking``,
5863
``username`` and ``user_email`` methods. (Robert Collins)
5864
5865
* Plugins are now loaded under bzrlib.plugins, not bzrlib.plugin, and
5866
they are made available for other plugins to use. You should not
5867
import other plugins during the ``__init__`` of your plugin though, as
5868
no ordering is guaranteed, and the plugins directory is not on the
5869
python path. (Robert Collins)
5870
5871
* Branch.relpath has been moved to WorkingTree.relpath. WorkingTree no
5872
no longer takes an inventory, rather it takes an option branch
5873
parameter, and if None is given will open the branch at basedir
5874
implicitly. (Robert Collins)
5875
5876
* Cleaner exception structure and error reporting. Suggested by
5877
Scott James Remnant. (Martin Pool)
5878
5879
* Branch.remove has been moved to WorkingTree, which has also gained
5880
``lock_read``, ``lock_write`` and ``unlock`` methods for convenience.
5881
(Robert Collins)
5882
5883
* Two decorators, ``needs_read_lock`` and ``needs_write_lock`` have been
5884
added to the branch module. Use these to cause a function to run in a
5885
read or write lock respectively. (Robert Collins)
5886
5887
* ``Branch.open_containing`` now returns a tuple (Branch, relative-path),
5888
which allows direct access to the common case of 'get me this file
5889
from its branch'. (Robert Collins)
5890
5891
* Transports can register using ``register_lazy_transport``, and they
5892
will be loaded when first used. (Martin Pool)
5893
5894
* 'pull' has been factored out of the command as ``WorkingTree.pull()``.
5895
A new option to WorkingTree.pull has been added, clobber, which will
5896
ignore diverged history and pull anyway.
5897
(Robert Collins)
5898
5899
* config.Config has a ``get_user_option`` call that accepts an option name.
5900
This will be looked up in branches.conf and bazaar.conf as normal.
5901
It is intended that this be used by plugins to support options -
5902
options of built in programs should have specific methods on the config.
5903
(Robert Collins)
5904
5905
* ``merge.merge_inner`` now has tempdir as an optional parameter.
5906
(Robert Collins)
5907
5908
* Tree.kind is not recorded at the top level of the hierarchy, as it was
5909
missing on EmptyTree, leading to a bug with merge on EmptyTrees.
5910
(Robert Collins)
5911
5912
* ``WorkingTree.__del__`` has been removed, it was non deterministic and not
5913
doing what it was intended to. See ``WorkingTree.__init__`` for a comment
5914
about future directions. (Robert Collins/Martin Pool)
5915
5916
* bzrlib.transport.http has been modified so that only 404 urllib errors
5917
are returned as NoSuchFile. Other exceptions will propogate as normal.
5918
This allows debuging of actual errors. (Robert Collins)
5919
5920
* bzrlib.transport.Transport now accepts *ONLY* url escaped relative paths
5921
to apis like 'put', 'get' and 'has'. This is to provide consistent
5922
behaviour - it operates on url's only. (Robert Collins)
5923
5924
* Transports can register using ``register_lazy_transport``, and they
5925
will be loaded when first used. (Martin Pool)
5926
5927
* ``merge_flex`` no longer calls ``conflict_handler.finalize()``, instead that
5928
is called by ``merge_inner``. This is so that the conflict count can be
5929
retrieved (and potentially manipulated) before returning to the caller
5930
of ``merge_inner``. Likewise 'merge' now returns the conflict count to the
5931
caller. (Robert Collins)
5932
5933
* ``revision.revision_graph`` can handle having only partial history for
5934
a revision - that is no revisions in the graph with no parents.
5935
(Robert Collins).
5936
5937
* New ``builtins.branch_files`` uses the standard ``file_list`` rules to
5938
produce a branch and a list of paths, relative to that branch
5939
(Aaron Bentley)
5940
5941
* New TestCase.addCleanup facility.
5942
5943
* New ``bzrlib.version_info`` tuple (similar to ``sys.version_info``),
5944
which can be used by programs importing bzrlib.
5945
5946
BUG FIXES:
5947
5948
* Better handling of branches in directories with non-ascii names.
5949
(Joel Rosdahl, Panagiotis Papadakos)
5950
5951
* Upgrades of trees with no commits will not fail due to accessing
5952
[-1] in the revision-history. (Andres Salomon)

5955
bzr 0.1.1 2005-10-12
5956
--------------------
5957
5958
BUG FIXES:
5959
5960
* Fix problem in pulling over http from machines that do not
5961
allow directories to be listed.
5962
5963
* Avoid harmless warning about invalid hash cache after
5964
upgrading branch format.
5965
5966
PERFORMANCE:
5967
5968
* Avoid some unnecessary http operations in branch and pull.

5972
------------------
5973
5974
NOTES:
5975
5976
* 'bzr branch' over http initially gives a very high estimate
5977
of completion time but it should fall as the first few
5978
revisions are pulled in. branch is still slow on
5979
high-latency connections.
5980
5981
BUG FIXES:
5982
5983
* bzr-man.py has been updated to work again. Contributed by
5984
Rob Weir.
5985
5986
* Locking is now done with fcntl.lockf which works with NFS
5987
file systems. Contributed by Harald Meland.
5988
5989
* When a merge encounters a file that has been deleted on
5990
one side and modified on the other, the old contents are
5991
written out to foo.BASE and foo.SIDE, where SIDE is this
5992
or OTHER. Contributed by Aaron Bentley.
5993
5994
* Export was choosing incorrect file paths for the content of
5995
the tarball, this has been fixed by Aaron Bentley.
5996
5997
* Commit will no longer commit without a log message, an
5998
error is returned instead. Contributed by Jelmer Vernooij.
5999
6000
* If you commit a specific file in a sub directory, any of its
6001
parent directories that are added but not listed will be
6002
automatically included. Suggested by Michael Ellerman.
6003
6004
* bzr commit and upgrade did not correctly record new revisions
6005
for files with only a change to their executable status.
6006
bzr will correct this when it encounters it. Fixed by
6007
Robert Collins
6008
6009
* HTTP tests now force off the use of ``http_proxy`` for the duration.
6010
Contributed by Gustavo Niemeyer.
6011
6012
* Fix problems in merging weave-based branches that have
6013
different partial views of history.
6014
6015
* Symlink support: working with symlinks when not in the root of a
6016
bzr tree was broken, patch from Scott James Remnant.
6017
6018
IMPROVEMENTS:
6019
6020
* 'branch' now accepts a --basis parameter which will take advantage
6021
of local history when making a new branch. This allows faster
6022
branching of remote branches. Contributed by Aaron Bentley.
6023
6024
* New tree format based on weave files, called version 5.
6025
Existing branches can be upgraded to this format using
6026
'bzr upgrade'.
6027
6028
* Symlinks are now versionable. Initial patch by
6029
Erik Toubro Nielsen, updated to head by Robert Collins.
6030
6031
* Executable bits are tracked on files. Patch from Gustavo
6032
Niemeyer.
6033
6034
* 'bzr status' now shows unknown files inside a selected directory.
6035
Patch from Heikki Paajanen.
6036
6037
* Merge conflicts are recorded in .bzr. Two new commands 'conflicts'
6038
and 'resolve' have needed added, which list and remove those
6039
merge conflicts respectively. A conflicted tree cannot be committed
6040
in. Contributed by Aaron Bentley.
6041
6042
* 'rm' is now an alias for 'remove'.
6043
6044
* Stores now split out their content in a single byte prefixed hash,
6045
dropping the density of files per directory by 256. Contributed by
6046
Gustavo Niemeyer.
6047
6048
* 'bzr diff -r branch:URL' will now perform a diff between two branches.
6049
Contributed by Robert Collins.
6050
6051
* 'bzr log' with the default formatter will show merged revisions,
6052
indented to the right. Initial implementation contributed by Gustavo
6053
Niemeyer, made incremental by Robert Collins.
6054
6055
6056
INTERNALS:
6057
6058
* Test case failures have the exception printed after the log
6059
for your viewing pleasure.
6060
6061
* InventoryEntry is now an abstract base class, use one of the
6062
concrete InventoryDirectory etc classes instead.
6063
6064
* Branch raises an UnsupportedFormatError when it detects a
6065
bzr branch it cannot understand. This allows for precise
6066
handling of such circumstances.
6067
6068
* Remove RevisionReference class; ``Revision.parent_ids`` is now simply a
6069
list of their ids and ``parent_sha1s`` is a list of their corresponding
6070
sha1s (for old branches only at the moment.)
6071
6072
* New method-object style interface for Commit() and Fetch().
6073
6074
* Renamed ``Branch.last_patch()`` to ``Branch.last_revision()``, since
6075
we call them revisions not patches.
6076
6077
* Move ``copy_branch`` to ``bzrlib.clone.copy_branch``. The destination
6078
directory is created if it doesn't exist.
6079
6080
* Inventories now identify the files which were present by
6081
giving the revision *of that file*.
6082
6083
* Inventory and Revision XML contains a version identifier.
6084
This must be consistent with the overall branch version
6085
but allows for more flexibility in future upgrades.
6086
6087
TESTING:
6088
6089
* Removed testsweet module so that tests can be run after
6090
bzr installed by 'bzr selftest'.
6091
6092
* 'bzr selftest' command-line arguments can now be partial ids
6093
of tests to run, e.g. ``bzr selftest test_weave``
6094
6095
6096
bzr 0.0.9 2005-09-23
6097
--------------------
6098
6099
BUG FIXES:
6100
6101
* Fixed "branch -r" option.
6102
6103
* Fix remote access to branches containing non-compressed history.
6104
(Robert Collins).
6105
6106
* Better reliability of http server tests. (John Arbash-Meinel)
6107
6108
* Merge graph maximum distance calculation fix. (Aaron Bentley)
6109
6110
* Various minor bug in windows support have been fixed, largely in the
6111
test suite. Contributed by Alexander Belchenko.
6112
6113
IMPROVEMENTS:
6114
6115
* Status now accepts a -r argument to give status between chosen
6116
revisions. Contributed by Heikki Paajanen.
6117
6118
* Revision arguments no longer use +/-/= to control ranges, instead
6119
there is a 'before' namespace, which limits the successive namespace.
6120
For example '$ bzr log -r date:yesterday..before:date:today' will
6121
select everything from yesterday and before today. Contributed by
6122
Robey Pointer
6123
6124
* There is now a bzr.bat file created by distutils when building on
6125
Windows. Contributed by Alexander Belchenko.
6126
6127
INTERNALS:
6128
6129
* Removed uuid() as it was unused.
6130
6131
* Improved 'fetch' code for pulling revisions from one branch into
6132
another (used by pull, merged, etc.)
6133
6134
6135
bzr 0.0.8 2005-09-20
6136
--------------------
6137
6138
IMPROVEMENTS:
6139
6140
* Adding a file whose parent directory is not versioned will
6141
implicitly add the parent, and so on up to the root. This means
6142
you should never need to explictly add a directory, they'll just
6143
get added when you add a file in the directory. Contributed by
6144
Michael Ellerman.
6145
6146
* Ignore ``.DS_Store`` (contains Mac metadata) by default.
6147
(Nir Soffer)
6148
6149
* If you set ``BZR_EDITOR`` in the environment, it is checked in
6150
preference to EDITOR and the config file for the interactive commit
6151
editing program. Related to this is a bugfix where a missing program
6152
set in EDITOR would cause editing to fail, now the fallback program
6153
for the operating system is still tried.
6154
6155
* Files that are not directories/symlinks/regular files will no longer
6156
cause bzr to fail, it will just ignore them by default. You cannot add
6157
them to the tree though - they are not versionable.
6158
6159
6160
INTERNALS:
6161
6162
* Refactor xml packing/unpacking.
6163
6164
BUG FIXES:
6165
6166
* Fixed 'bzr mv' by Ollie Rutherfurd.
6167
6168
* Fixed strange error when trying to access a nonexistent http
6169
branch.
6170
6171
* Make sure that the hashcache gets written out if it can't be
6172
read.
6173
6174
6175
PORTABILITY:
6176
6177
* Various Windows fixes from Ollie Rutherfurd.
6178
6179
* Quieten warnings about locking; patch from Matt Lavin.
6180
6181
6182
bzr-0.0.7 2005-09-02
6183
--------------------
6184
6185
NEW FEATURES:
6186
6187
* ``bzr shell-complete`` command contributed by Clint Adams to
6188
help with intelligent shell completion.
6189
6190
* New expert command ``bzr find-merge-base`` for debugging merges.
6191
6192
6193
ENHANCEMENTS:
6194
6195
* Much better merge support.
6196
6197
* merge3 conflicts are now reported with markers like '<<<<<<<'
6198
(seven characters) which is the same as CVS and pleases things
6199
like emacs smerge.
6200
6201
6202
BUG FIXES:
6203
6204
* ``bzr upgrade`` no longer fails when trying to fix trees that
6205
mention revisions that are not present.
6206
6207
* Fixed bugs in listing plugins from ``bzr plugins``.
6208
6209
* Fix case of $EDITOR containing options for the editor.
6210
6211
* Fix log -r refusing to show the last revision.
6212
(Patch from Goffredo Baroncelli.)
6213
6214
6215
CHANGES:
6216
6217
* ``bzr log --show-ids`` shows the revision ids of all parents.
6218
6219
* Externally provided commands on your $BZRPATH no longer need
6220
to recognize --bzr-usage to work properly, and can just handle
6221
--help themselves.
6222
6223
6224
LIBRARY:
6225
6226
* Changed trace messages to go through the standard logging
6227
framework, so that they can more easily be redirected by
6228
libraries.
6229
6230
6231
6232
bzr-0.0.6 2005-08-18
6233
--------------------
6234
6235
NEW FEATURES:
6236
6237
* Python plugins, automatically loaded from the directories on
6238
``BZR_PLUGIN_PATH`` or ``~/.bzr.conf/plugins`` by default.
6239
6240
* New 'bzr mkdir' command.
6241
6242
* Commit mesage is fetched from an editor if not given on the
6243
command line; patch from Torsten Marek.
6244
6245
* ``bzr log -m FOO`` displays commits whose message matches regexp
6246
FOO.
6247
6248
* ``bzr add`` with no arguments adds everything under the current directory.
6249
6250
* ``bzr mv`` does move or rename depending on its arguments, like
6251
the Unix command.
6252
6253
* ``bzr missing`` command shows a summary of the differences
6254
between two trees. (Merged from John Arbash-Meinel.)
6255
6256
* An email address for commits to a particular tree can be
6257
specified by putting it into .bzr/email within a branch. (Based
6258
on a patch from Heikki Paajanen.)
6259
6260
6261
ENHANCEMENTS:
6262
6263
* Faster working tree operations.
6264
6265
6266
CHANGES:
6267
6268
* 3rd-party modules shipped with bzr are copied within the bzrlib
6269
python package, so that they can be installed by the setup
6270
script without clashing with anything already existing on the
6271
system. (Contributed by Gustavo Niemeyer.)
6272
6273
* Moved plugins directory to bzrlib/, so that there's a standard
6274
plugin directory which is not only installed with bzr itself but
6275
is also available when using bzr from the development tree.
6276
``BZR_PLUGIN_PATH`` and ``DEFAULT_PLUGIN_PATH`` are then added to the
6277
standard plugins directory.
6278
6279
* When exporting to a tarball with ``bzr export --format tgz``, put
6280
everything under a top directory rather than dumping it into the
6281
current directory. This can be overridden with the ``--root``
6282
option. Patch from William Dodé and John Meinel.
6283
6284
* New ``bzr upgrade`` command to upgrade the format of a branch,
6285
replacing ``bzr check --update``.
6286
6287
* Files within store directories are no longer marked readonly on
6288
disk.
6289
6290
* Changed ``bzr log`` output to a more compact form suggested by
6291
John A Meinel. Old format is available with the ``--long`` or
6292
``-l`` option, patched by William Dodé.
6293
6294
* By default the commit command refuses to record a revision with
6295
no changes unless the ``--unchanged`` option is given.
6296
6297
* The ``--no-plugins``, ``--profile`` and ``--builtin`` command
6298
line options must come before the command name because they
6299
affect what commands are available; all other options must come
6300
after the command name because their interpretation depends on
6301
it.
6302
6303
* ``branch`` and ``clone`` added as aliases for ``branch``.
6304
6305
* Default log format is back to the long format; the compact one
6306
is available with ``--short``.
6307
6308
6309
BUG FIXES:
6310
6311
* Fix bugs in committing only selected files or within a subdirectory.
6312
6313
6314
bzr-0.0.5 2005-06-15
6315
---------------------
6316
6317
CHANGES:
6318
6319
* ``bzr`` with no command now shows help rather than giving an
6320
error. Suggested by Michael Ellerman.
6321
6322
* ``bzr status`` output format changed, because svn-style output
6323
doesn't really match the model of bzr. Now files are grouped by
6324
status and can be shown with their IDs. ``bzr status --all``
6325
shows all versioned files and unknown files but not ignored files.
6326
6327
* ``bzr log`` runs from most-recent to least-recent, the reverse
6328
of the previous order. The previous behaviour can be obtained
6329
with the ``--forward`` option.
6330
6331
* ``bzr inventory`` by default shows only filenames, and also ids
6332
if ``--show-ids`` is given, in which case the id is the second
6333
field.
6334
6335
6336
ENHANCEMENTS:
6337
6338
* New 'bzr whoami --email' option shows only the email component
6339
of the user identification, from Jo Vermeulen.
6340
6341
* New ``bzr ignore PATTERN`` command.
6342
6343
* Nicer error message for broken pipe, interrupt and similar
6344
conditions that don't indicate an internal error.
6345
6346
* Add ``.*.sw[nop] .git .*.tmp *,v`` to default ignore patterns.
6347
6348
* Per-branch locks keyed on ``.bzr/branch-lock``, available in
6349
either read or write mode.
6350
6351
* New option ``bzr log --show-ids`` shows revision and file ids.
6352
6353
* New usage ``bzr log FILENAME`` shows only revisions that
6354
affected that file.
6355
6356
* Changed format for describing changes in ``bzr log -v``.
6357
6358
* New option ``bzr commit --file`` to take a message from a file,
6359
suggested by LarstiQ.
6360
6361
* New syntax ``bzr status [FILE...]`` contributed by Bartosz
6362
Oler. File may be in a branch other than the working directory.
6363
6364
* ``bzr log`` and ``bzr root`` can be given an http URL instead of
6365
a filename.
6366
6367
* Commands can now be defined by external programs or scripts
6368
in a directory on $BZRPATH.
6369
6370
* New "stat cache" avoids reading the contents of files if they
6371
haven't changed since the previous time.
6372
6373
* If the Python interpreter is too old, try to find a better one
6374
or give an error. Based on a patch from Fredrik Lundh.
6375
6376
* New optional parameter ``bzr info [BRANCH]``.
6377
6378
* New form ``bzr commit SELECTED`` to commit only selected files.
6379
6380
* New form ``bzr log -r FROM:TO`` shows changes in selected
6381
range; contributed by John A Meinel.
6382
6383
* New option ``bzr diff --diff-options 'OPTS'`` allows passing
6384
options through to an external GNU diff.
6385
6386
* New option ``bzr add --no-recurse`` to add a directory but not
6387
their contents.
6388
6389
* ``bzr --version`` now shows more information if bzr is being run
6390
from a branch.
6391
6392
6393
BUG FIXES:
6394
6395
* Fixed diff format so that added and removed files will be
6396
handled properly by patch. Fix from Lalo Martins.
6397
6398
* Various fixes for files whose names contain spaces or other
6399
metacharacters.
6400
6401
6402
TESTING:
6403
6404
* Converted black-box test suites from Bourne shell into Python;
6405
now run using ``./testbzr``. Various structural improvements to
6406
the tests.
6407
6408
* testbzr by default runs the version of bzr found in the same
6409
directory as the tests, or the one given as the first parameter.
6410
6411
* testbzr also runs the internal tests, so the only command
6412
required to check is just ``./testbzr``.
6413
6414
* testbzr requires python2.4, but can be used to test bzr running
6415
under a different version.
6416
6417
* Tests added for many other changes in this release.
6418
6419
6420
INTERNAL:
6421
6422
* Included ElementTree library upgraded to 1.2.6 by Fredrik Lundh.
6423
6424
* Refactor command functions into Command objects based on HCT by
6425
Scott James Remnant.
6426
6427
* Better help messages for many commands.
6428
6429
* Expose ``bzrlib.open_tracefile()`` to start the tracefile; until
6430
this is called trace messages are just discarded.
6431
6432
* New internal function ``find_touching_revisions()`` and hidden
6433
command touching-revisions trace the changes to a given file.
6434
6435
* Simpler and faster ``compare_inventories()`` function.
6436
6437
* ``bzrlib.open_tracefile()`` takes a tracefilename parameter.
6438
6439
* New AtomicFile class.
6440
6441
* New developer commands ``added``, ``modified``.
6442
6443
6444
PORTABILITY:
6445
6446
* Cope on Windows on python2.3 by using the weaker random seed.
6447
2.4 is now only recommended.

bzr-0.0.4 2005-04-22
6451
---------------------
6452
6453
ENHANCEMENTS:
6454
6455
* 'bzr diff' optionally takes a list of files to diff. Still a bit
6456
basic. Patch from QuantumG.
6457
6458
* More default ignore patterns.
6459
6460
* New 'bzr log --verbose' shows a list of files changed in the
6461
changeset. Patch from Sebastian Cote.
6462
6463
* Roll over ~/.bzr.log if it gets too large.
6464
6465
* Command abbreviations 'ci', 'st', 'stat', '?' based on a patch
6466
by Jason Diamon.
6467
6468
* New 'bzr help commands' based on a patch from Denys Duchier.
6469
6470
6471
CHANGES:
6472
6473
* User email is determined by looking at $BZREMAIL or ~/.bzr.email
6474
or $EMAIL. All are decoded by the locale preferred encoding.
6475
If none of these are present user@hostname is used. The host's
6476
fully-qualified name is not used because that tends to fail when
6477
there are DNS problems.
6478
6479
* New 'bzr whoami' command instead of username user-email.
6480
6481
6482
BUG FIXES:
6483
6484
* Make commit safe for hardlinked bzr trees.
6485
6486
* Some Unicode/locale fixes.
6487
6488
* Partial workaround for ``difflib.unified_diff`` not handling
6489
trailing newlines properly.
6490
6491
6492
INTERNAL:
6493
6494
* Allow docstrings for help to be in PEP0257 format. Patch from
6495
Matt Brubeck.
6496
6497
* More tests in test.sh.
6498
6499
* Write profile data to a temporary file not into working
6500
directory and delete it when done.
6501
6502
* Smaller .bzr.log with process ids.
6503
6504
6505
PORTABILITY:
6506
6507
* Fix opening of ~/.bzr.log on Windows. Patch from Andrew
6508
Bennetts.
6509
6510
* Some improvements in handling paths on Windows, based on a patch
6511
from QuantumG.
