IN DEVELOPMENT

--------------
9
10
CHANGES:
11
12
* ``bzr uncommit`` shows the revision ids for the revisions you will
13
be removing. This allows you to easily change your mind and
14
``bzr pull`` your branch back to what it was.
15
(John Arbash Meinel)
16
17
IMPROVEMENTS:
18
19
BUG FIXES:
20
21
* ``WorkingTree4`` trees will now correctly report missing-and-new
22
paths in the output of ``iter_changes``. (Robert Collins)
23
24
API CHANGES:
25
26
* Exporters now take 4 parameters. (Robert Collins)
27
28
* ``Tree.iter_changes`` will now return False for the content change
29
field when a file is missing in the basis tree and not present in
30
the target tree. Previously it returned True unconditionally.
31
(Robert Collins)
32
33
TESTING:
34
35
* ``addCleanup`` now takes ``*arguments`` and ``**keyword_arguments``
36
which are then passed to the cleanup callable as it is run. In
37
addition, addCleanup no longer requires that the callables passed to
38
it be unique. (Jonathan Lange)
39
40
INTERNALS:
41
42
* ``bzrlib.diff.DiffTree.show_diff`` now skips changes where the kind
43
is unknown in both source and target.
44
(Robert Collins, Aaron Bentley)
45
46
47
bzr 1.6rc2 2008-08-13
48
---------------------
49
50
This release candidate has a few minor bug fixes, and some regression
51
fixes for Windows.
52
53
* ``bzr export`` can now export a subdirectory of a project.
54
(Robert Collins)
55
56
BUG FIXES:
57
58
* ``bzr upgrade`` on remote branches accessed via bzr:// and
59
bzr+ssh:// now works. (Andrew Bennetts)
60
61
* Change the ``get_format_description()`` strings for
62
``RepositoryFormatKnitPack5`` et al to be single line messages.
63
(Aaron Bentley)
64
65
* Fix for a regression on Win32 where we would try to call
66
``os.listdir()`` on a file and not catch the exception properly.
67
(Windows raises a different exception.) This would manifest in
68
places like ``bzr rm file`` or ``bzr switch``.
69
(Mark Hammond, John Arbash Meinel)
70
71
* ``Inventory.copy()`` was failing to set the revision property for
72
the root entry. (Jelmer Vernooij)
73
74
* sftp transport: added missing ``FileExists`` case to
75
``_translate_io_exception`` (Christophe Troestler, #123475)
76
77
* The help for ``bzr ignored`` now suggests ``bzr ls --ignored`` for
78
scripting use. (Robert Collins, #3834)
79
80
* The default ``annotate`` logic will now always assign the
81
last-modified value of a line to one of the revisions that modified
82
it, rather than a merge revision. This would happen when both sides
83
claimed to have modified the line resulting in the same text. The
84
choice is arbitrary but stable, so merges in different directions
85
will get the same results. (John Arbash Meinel, #232188)
86
87
88
bzr 1.6rc1 2008-08-06
89
---------------------
90
91
This release candidate for bzr 1.6 solidifies the new branch stacking
92
feature. Bazaar now recommends that users upgrade all knit repositories,
93
because later formats are much faster. However, we plan to continue read/write and
94
upgrade support for knit repostories for the forseeable future. Several
95
other bugs and performance issues were fixed.
96
97
CHANGES:
98
99
* Knit format repositories are deprecated and bzr will now emit
100
warnings whenever it encounters one. Use ``bzr upgrade`` to upgrade
101
knit repositories to pack format. (Andrew Bennetts)
102
103
IMPROVEMENTS:
104
105
* ``bzr check`` can now be told which elements at a location it should
106
check. (Daniel Watkins)
107
108
* Commit now supports ``--exclude`` (or ``-x``) to exclude some files
109
from the commit. (Robert Collins, #3117)
110
111
* Fetching data between repositories that have the same model but no
112
optimised fetcher will not reserialise all the revisions, increasing
113
performance. (Robert Collins, John Arbash Meinel)
114
115
* Give a more specific error when target branch is not reachable.
116
(James Westby)
117
118
* Implemented a custom ``walkdirs_utf8`` implementation for win32.
119
This uses a pyrex extension to get direct access to the
120
``FindFirstFileW`` style apis, rather than using ``listdir`` +
121
``lstat``. Shows a very strong improvement in commands like
122
``status`` and ``diff`` which have to iterate the working tree.
123
Anywhere from 2x-6x faster depending on the size of the tree (bigger
124
trees, bigger benefit.) (John Arbash Meinel)
125
126
* New registry for log properties handles and the method in
127
LongLogFormatter to display the custom properties returned by the
128
registered handlers. (Guillermo Gonzalez, #162469)
129
130
BUG FIXES:
131
132
* Add more tests that stacking does not create deltas spanning
133
physical repository boundaries.
134
(Martin Pool, #252428)
135
136
* Better message about incompatible repositories.
137
(Martin Pool, #206258)
138
139
* ``bzr branch --stacked`` ensures the destination branch format can
140
support stacking, even if the origin does not.
141
(Martin Pool)
142
143
* ``bzr export`` no longer exports ``.bzrrules``.
144
(Ian Clatworthy)
145
146
* ``bzr serve --directory=/`` now correctly allows the whole
147
filesystem to be accessed on Windows, not just the root of the drive
148
that Python is running from.
149
(Adrian Wilkins, #240910)
150
151
* Deleting directories by hand before running ``bzr rm`` will not
152
cause subsequent errors in ``bzr st`` and ``bzr commit``.
153
(Robert Collins, #150438)
154
155
* Fix a test case that was failing if encoding wasn't UTF-8.
156
(John Arbash Meinel, #247585)
157
158
* Fix "no buffer space available" error when branching with the new
159
smart server protocol to or from Windows.
160
(Andrew Bennetts, #246180)
161
162
* Fixed problem in branching from smart server.
163
(#249256, Michael Hudson, Martin Pool)
164
165
* Handle a file turning in to a directory in TreeTransform.
166
(James Westby, #248448)
167
168
API CHANGES:
169
170
* ``MutableTree.commit`` has an extra optional keywork parameter
171
``exclude`` that will be unconditionally supplied by the command
172
line UI - plugins that add tree formats may need an update.
173
(Robert Collins)
174
175
* The API minimum version for plugin compatibility has been raised to
176
1.6 - there are significant changes throughout the code base.
177
(Robert Collins)
178
179
* The generic fetch code now uses three attributes on Repository objects
180
to control fetch. The streams requested are controlled via :
181
``_fetch_order`` and ``_fetch_uses_deltas``. Setting these
182
appropriately allows different repository implementations to recieve
183
data in their optimial form. If the ``_fetch_reconcile`` is set then
184
a reconcile operation is triggered at the end of the fetch.
185
(Robert Collins)
186
187
* The ``put_on_disk`` and ``get_tar_item`` methods in
188
``InventoryEntry`` were deprecated. (Ian Clatworthy)
189
190
* ``Repository.is_shared`` doesn't take a read lock. It didn't
191
need one in the first place (nobody cached the value, and
192
``RemoteRepository`` wasn't taking one either). This saves a round
193
trip when probing Pack repositories, as they read the ``pack-names``
194
file when locked. And during probe, locking the repo isn't very
195
useful. (John Arbash Meinel)
196
197
INTERNALS:
198
199
* ``bzrlib.branchbuilder.BranchBuilder`` is now much more capable of
200
putting together a real history without having to create a full
201
WorkingTree. It is recommended that tests that are not directly
202
testing the WorkingTree use BranchBuilder instead. See
203
``BranchBuilder.build_snapshot`` or
204
``TestCaseWithMemoryTree.make_branch_builder``. (John Arbash Meinel)
205
206
* ``bzrlib.builtins.internal_tree_files`` broken into two giving a new
207
helper ``safe_relpath_files`` - used by the new ``exclude``
208
parameter to commit. (Robert Collins)
209
210
* Make it easier to introduce new WorkingTree formats.
211
(Ian Clatworthy)
212
213
* The code for exporting trees was refactored not to use the
214
deprecated ``InventoryEntry`` methods. (Ian Clatworthy)
215
216
* RuleSearchers return () instead of [] now when there are no matches.
217
(Ian Clatworthy)
218
219
220
bzr 1.6beta3 2008-07-17
221
-----------------------
222
223
This release adds a new 'stacked branches' feature allowing branches to
224
share storage without being in the same repository or on the same machine.
225
(See the user guide for more details.) It also adds a new hook, improved
226
weaves, aliases for related locations, faster bzr+ssh push, and several
227
bug fixes.
228
229
FEATURES:
230
231
* New ``pre_change_branch_tip`` hook that is called before the
232
branch tip is moved, while the branch is write-locked. See the User
233
Reference for signature details. (Andrew Bennetts)
234
235
* Rule-based preferences can now be defined for selected files in
236
selected branches, allowing commands and plugins to provide
237
custom behaviour for files matching defined patterns.
238
See ``Rule-based preferences`` (part of ``Configuring Bazaar``)
239
in the User Guide and ``bzr help rules`` for more information.
240
(Ian Clatworthy)
241
242
* Sites may suggest a branch to stack new branches on. (Aaron Bentley)
243
244
* Stacked branches are now supported. See ``bzr help branch`` and
245
``bzr help push``. Branches must be in the ``development1`` format
246
to stack, though the stacked-on branch can be of any format.
247
(Robert Collins)
248
249
IMPROVEMENTS:
250
251
* ``bzr export --format=tgz --root=NAME -`` to export a gzipped tarball
252
to stdout; also ``tar`` and ``tbz2``.
253
(Martin Pool)
254
255
* ``bzr (re)merge --weave`` will now use a standard Weave algorithm,
256
rather than the annotation-based merge it was using. It does so by
257
building up a Weave of the important texts, without needing to build
258
the full ancestry. (John Arbash Meinel, #238895)
259
260
* ``bzr send`` documents and better supports ``emacsclient`` (proper
261
escaping of mail headers and handling of the MUA Mew).
262
(Christophe Troestler)
263
264
* Remembered locations can be specified by aliases, e.g. :parent, :public,
265
:submit. (Aaron Bentley)
266
267
* The smart protocol now has improved support for setting branches'
268
revision info directly. This makes operations like push
269
faster. The new request method name is
270
``Branch.set_last_revision_ex``. (Andrew Bennetts)
271
272
BUG FIXES:
273
274
* Bazaar is now able to be a client to the web server of IIS 6 and 7.
275
The broken implementations of RFC822 in Python and RFC2046 in IIS
276
combined with boundary-line checking in Bazaar previously made this
277
impossible. (NB, IIS 5 does not suffer from this problem).
278
(Adrian Wilkins, #247585)
279
280
* ``bzr log --long`` with a ghost in your mainline now handles that
281
ghost properly. (John Arbash Meinel, #243536)
282
283
* ``check`` handles the split-up .bzr layout correctly, so no longer
284
requires a branch to be present.
285
(Daniel Watkins, #64783)
286
287
* Clearer message about how to set the PYTHONPATH if bzrlib can't be
288
loaded.
289
(Martin Pool, #205230)
290
291
* Errors about missing libraries are now shown without a traceback,
292
and with a suggestion to install the library. The full traceback is
293
still in ``.bzr.log`` and can be shown with ``-Derror``.
294
(Martin Pool, #240161)
295
296
* Fetch from a stacked branch copies all required data.
297
(Aaron Bentley, #248506)
298
299
* Handle urls such as ftp://user@host.com@www.host.com where the user
300
name contains an @.
301
(Neil Martinsen-Burrell, #228058)
302
303
* ``needs_read_lock`` and ``needs_write_lock`` now suppress an error during
304
``unlock`` if there was an error in the original function. This helps
305
most when there is a failure with a smart server action, since often the
306
connection closes and we cannot unlock.
307
(Andrew Bennetts, John Arbash Meinel, #125784)
308
309
* Obsolete hidden command ``bzr fetch`` removed.
310
(Martin Pool, #172870)
311
312
* Raise the correct exception when doing ``-rbefore:0`` or ``-c0``.
313
(John Arbash Meinel, #239933)
314
315
* You can now compare file revisions in Windows diff programs from
316
Cygwin Bazaar.
317
(Matt McClure, #209281)
318
319
* revision_history now tolerates mainline ghosts for Branch format 6.
320
(Aaron Bentley, #235055)
321
322
* Set locale from environment for third party libs.
323
(Martin von Gagern, #128496)
324
325
DOCUMENTATION:
326
327
* Added *Using stacked branches* to the User Guide.
328
(Ian Clatworthy)
329
330
* Updated developer documentation.
331
(Martin Pool)
332
333
TESTING:
334
335
* ``-Dmemory`` will cause /proc/PID/status to be catted before bzr
336
exits, allowing low-key analysis of peak memory use. (Robert Collins)
337
338
* ``TestCaseWithTransport.make_branch_and_tree`` tries harder to return
339
a tree with a ``branch`` attribute of the right format. This was
340
preventing some ``RemoteBranch`` tests from actually running with
341
``RemoteBranch`` instances. (Andrew Bennetts)
342
343
API CHANGES:
344
345
* Removed ``Repository.text_store``, ``control_store``, etc. Instead,
346
there are new attributes ``texts, inventories, revisions,
347
signatures``, each of which is a ``VersionedFiles``. See the
348
Repository docstring for more details.
349
(Robert Collins)
350
351
* ``Branch.pull`` now accepts an ``_override_hook_target`` optional
352
parameter. If you have a subclass of ``Branch`` that overrides
353
``pull`` then you should add this parameter. (Andrew Bennetts)
354
355
* ``bzrlib.check.check()`` has been deprecated in favour of the more
356
aptly-named ``bzrlib.check.check_branch()``.
357
(Daniel Watkins)
358
359
* ``Tree.print_file`` and ``Repository.print_file`` are deprecated.
360
These methods are bad APIs because they write directly to sys.stdout.
361
bzrlib does not use them internally, and there are no direct tests
362
for them. (Alexander Belchenko)
363
364
INTERNALS:
365
366
* ``cat`` command no longer uses ``Tree.print_file()`` internally.
367
(Alexander Belchenko)
368
369
* New class method ``BzrDir.open_containing_tree_branch_or_repository``
370
which eases the discovery of the tree, the branch and the repository
371
containing a given location.
372
(Daniel Watkins)
373
374
* New ``versionedfile.KeyMapper`` interface to abstract out the access to
375
underlying .knit/.kndx etc files in repositories with partitioned
376
storage. (Robert Collins)
377
378
* Obsolete developer-use command ``weave-join`` has been removed.
379
(Robert Collins)
380
381
* ``RemoteToOtherFetcher`` and ``get_data_stream_for_search`` removed,
382
to support new ``VersionedFiles`` layering.
383
(Robert Collins)
384
385
386
bzr 1.6beta2 2008-06-10
387
-----------------------
388
389
This release contains further progress towards our 1.6 goals of shallow
390
repositories, and contains a fix for some user-affecting bugs in the
391
repository layer. Building working trees during checkout and branch is
392
now faster.
393
394
BUG FIXES:
395
396
* Avoid KnitCorrupt error extracting inventories from some repositories.
397
(The data is not corrupt; an internal check is detecting a problem
398
reading from the repository.)
399
(Martin Pool, Andrew Bennetts, Robert Collins, #234748)
400
401
* ``bzr status`` was breaking if you merged the same revision twice.
402
(John Arbash Meinel, #235407)
403
404
* Fix infinite loop consuming 100% CPU when a connection is lost while
405
reading a response body via the smart protocol v1 or v2.
406
(Andrew Bennetts)
407
408
* Inserting a bundle which changes the contents of a file with no trailing
409
end of line, causing a knit snapshot in a 'knits' repository will no longer
410
cause KnitCorrupt. (Robert Collins)
411
412
* ``RemoteBranch.pull`` needs to return the ``self._real_branch``'s
413
pull result. It was instead just returning None, which breaks ``bzr
414
pull``. (John Arbash Meinel, #238149)
415
416
* Sanitize branch nick before using it as an attachment filename in
417
``bzr send``. (Lukáš Lalinský, #210218)
418
419
* Squash ``inv_entry.symlink_target`` to a plain string when
420
generating DirState details. This prevents from getting a
421
``UnicodeError`` when you have symlinks and non-ascii filenames.
422
(John Arbash Meinel, #135320)
423
424
IMPROVEMENTS:
425
426
* Added the 'alias' command to set/unset and display aliases. (Tim Penhey)
427
428
* ``added``, ``modified``, and ``unknowns`` behaviour made consistent (all three
429
now quote paths where required). Added ``--null`` option to ``added`` and
430
``modified`` (for null-separated unknowns, use ``ls --unknown --null``)
431
(Adrian Wilkins)
432
433
* Faster branching (1.09x) and lightweight checkouts (1.06x) on large trees.
434
(Ian Clatworthy, Aaron Bentley)
435
436
DOCUMENTATION:
437
438
* Added *Bazaar Zen* section to the User Guide. (Ian Clatworthy)
439
440
TESTING:
441
442
* Fix the test HTTPServer to be isolated from chdir calls made while it is
443
running, allowing it to be used in blackbox tests. (Robert Collins)
444
445
API CHANGES:
446
447
* ``WorkingTree.set_parent_(ids/trees)`` will now filter out revisions
448
which are in the ancestry of other revisions. So if you merge the same
449
tree twice, or merge an ancestor of an existing merge, it will only
450
record the newest. (If you merge a descendent, it will replace its
451
ancestor). (John Arbash Meinel, #235407)
452
453
* ``RepositoryPolicy.__init__`` now requires stack_on and stack_on_pwd,
454
through the derived classes do not. (Aaron Bentley)
455
456
INTERNALS:
457
458
* ``bzrlib.bzrdir.BzrDir.sprout`` now accepts ``stacked`` to control
459
creating stacked branches. (Robert Collins)
460
461
* Knit record serialisation is now stricter on what it will accept, to
462
guard against potential internal bugs, or broken input. (Robert Collins)

bzr 1.6beta1 2008-06-02
466
-----------------------
467
468
469
Commands that work on the revision history such as push, pull, missing,
470
uncommit and log are now substantially faster. This release adds a
471
translation of some of the user documentation into Spanish. (Contributions of
472
other translations would be very welcome.) Bazaar 1.6beta1 adds a new network
473
protocol which is used by default and which allows for more efficient transfers
474
and future extensions.
475
476
477
NOTES WHEN UPGRADING:
478
479
* There is a new version of the network protocol used for bzr://, bzr+ssh://
480
and bzr+http:// connections. This will allow more efficient requests and
481
responses, and more graceful fallback when a server is too old to
482
recognise a request from a more recent client. Bazaar 1.6 will
483
interoperate with 0.16 and later versions, but servers should be upgraded
484
when possible. Bazaar 1.6 no longer interoperates with 0.15 and earlier via
485
these protocols. Use alternatives like SFTP or upgrade those servers.
486
(Andrew Bennetts, #83935)
487
488
CHANGES:
489
490
* Deprecation warnings will not be suppressed when running ``bzr selftest``
491
so that developers can see if their code is using deprecated functions.
492
(John Arbash Meinel)
493
494
FEATURES:
495
496
* Adding ``-Derror`` will now display a traceback when a plugin fails to
497
load. (James Westby)
498
499
IMPROVEMENTS:
500
501
* ``bzr branch/push/pull -r XXX`` now have a helper function for finding
502
the revno of the new revision (``Graph.find_distance_to_null``). This
503
should make something like ``bzr branch -r -100`` in a shared, no-trees
504
repository much snappier. (John Arbash Meinel)
505
506
* ``bzr log --short -r X..Y`` no longer needs to access the full revision
507
history. This makes it noticeably faster when logging the last few
508
revisions. (John Arbash Meinel)
509
510
* ``bzr ls`` now accepts ``-V`` as an alias for ``--versioned``.
511
(Jerad Cramp, #165086)
512
513
* ``bzr missing`` uses the new ``Graph.find_unique_ancestors`` and
514
``Graph.find_differences`` to determine missing revisions without having
515
to search the whole ancestry. (John Arbash Meinel, #174625)
516
517
* ``bzr uncommit`` now uses partial history access, rather than always
518
extracting the full revision history for a branch. This makes it
519
resolve the appropriate revisions much faster (in testing it drops
520
uncommit from 1.5s => 0.4s). It also means ``bzr log --short`` is one
521
step closer to not using full revision history.
522
(John Arbash Meinel, #172649)
523
524
BUGFIXES:
525
526
* ``bzr merge --lca`` should handle when two revisions have no common
527
ancestor other than NULL_REVISION. (John Arbash Meinel, #235715)
528
529
* ``bzr status`` was breaking if you merged the same revision twice.
530
(John Arbash Meinel, #235407)
531
532
* ``bzr push`` with both ``--overwrite`` and ``-r NNN`` options no longer
533
fails. (Andrew Bennetts, #234229)
534
535
* Correctly track the base URL of a smart medium when using bzr+http://
536
URLs, which was causing spurious "No repository present" errors with
537
branches in shared repositories accessed over bzr+http.
538
(Andrew Bennetts, #230550)
539
540
* Define ``_remote_is_at_least_1_2`` on ``SmartClientMedium`` so that all
541
implementations have the attribute. Fixes 'PyCurlTransport' object has no
542
attribute '_remote_is_at_least_1_2' attribute errors.
543
(Andrew Bennetts, #220806)
544
545
* Failure to delete an obsolete pack file should just give a warning
546
message, not a fatal error. It may for example fail if the file is still
547
in use by another process.
548
(Martin Pool)
549
550
* Fix MemoryError during large fetches over HTTP by limiting the amount of
551
data we try to read per ``recv`` call. The problem was observed with
552
Windows and a proxy, but might affect other environments as well.
553
(Eric Holmberg, #215426)
554
555
* Handle old merge directives correctly in Merger.from_mergeable. Stricter
556
get_parent_map requirements exposed a latent bug here. (Aaron Bentley)
557
558
* Issue a warning and ignore passwords declared in authentication.conf when
559
used for an ssh scheme (sftp or bzr+ssh).
560
(Vincent Ladeuil, #203186)
561
562
* Make both http implementations raise appropriate exceptions on 403
563
Forbidden when POSTing smart requests.
564
(Vincent Ladeuil, #230223)
565
566
* Properly *title* header names in http requests instead of capitalizing
567
them.
568
(Vincent Ladeuil, #229076)
569
570
* The "Unable to obtain lock" error message now also suggests using
571
``bzr break-lock`` to fix it. (Martin Albisetti, #139202)
572
573
* Treat an encoding of '' as ascii; this can happen when bzr is run
574
under vim on Mac OS X.
575
(Neil Martinsen-Burrell)
576
577
* ``VersionedFile.make_mpdiffs()`` was raising an exception that wasn't in
578
scope. (Daniel Fischer #235687)
579
580
DOCUMENTATION:
581
582
* Added directory structure and started translation of docs in spanish.
583
(Martin Albisetti, Lucio Albenga)
584
585
* Incorporate feedback from Jelmer Vernooij and Neil Martinsen-Burrell
586
on the plugin and integration chapters of the User Guide.
587
(Ian Clatworthy)
588
589
* More Bazaar developer documentation about packaging and release process,
590
and about use of Python reprs.
591
(Martin Pool, Martin Albisetti)
592
593
* Updated Tortise strategy document. (Mark Hammond)
594
595
TESTING:
596
597
* ``bzrlib.tests.adapt_tests`` was broken and unused - it has been fixed.
598
(Robert Collins)
599
600
* Fix the test HTTPServer to be isolated from chdir calls made while it is
601
running, allowing it to be used in blackbox tests. (Robert Collins)
602
603
* New helper function for splitting test suites
604
``split_suite_by_condition``. (Robert Collins)
605
606
INTERNALS:
607
608
* ``Branch.missing_revisions`` has been deprecated. Similar functionality
609
can be obtained using ``bzrlib.missing.find_unmerged``. The api was
610
fairly broken, and the function was unused, so we are getting rid of it.
611
(John Arbash Meinel)
612
613
API CHANGES:
614
615
* ``Branch.abspath`` is deprecated; use the Tree or Transport
616
instead. (Martin Pool)
617
618
* ``Branch.update_revisions`` now takes an optional ``Graph``
619
object. This can be used by ``update_revisions`` when it is
620
checking ancestry, and allows callers to prefer request to go to a
621
local branch. (John Arbash Meinel)
622
623
* Branch, Repository, Tree and BzrDir should expose a Transport as an
624
attribute if they have one, rather than having it indirectly accessible
625
as ``.control_files._transport``. This doesn't add a requirement
626
to support a Transport in cases where it was not needed before;
627
it just simplifies the way it is reached. (Martin Pool)
628
629
* ``bzr missing --mine-only`` will return status code 0 if you have no
630
new revisions, but the remote does. Similarly for ``--theirs-only``.
631
The new code only checks one side, so it doesn't know if the other
632
side has changes. This seems more accurate with the request anyway.
633
It also changes the output to print '[This|Other] branch is up to
634
date.' rather than displaying nothing. (John Arbash Meinel)
635
636
* ``LockableFiles.put_utf8``, ``put_bytes`` and ``controlfilename``
637
are now deprecated in favor of using Transport operations.
638
(Martin Pool)
639
640
* Many methods on ``VersionedFile``, ``Repository`` and in
641
``bzrlib.revision`` deprecated before bzrlib 1.5 have been removed.
642
(Robert Collins)
643
644
* ``RevisionSpec.wants_revision_history`` can be set to False for a given
645
``RevisionSpec``. This will disable the existing behavior of passing in
646
the full revision history to ``self._match_on``. Useful for specs that
647
don't actually need access to the full history. (John Arbash Meinel)
648
649
* The constructors of ``SmartClientMedium`` and its subclasses now require a
650
``base`` parameter. ``SmartClientMedium`` implementations now also need
651
to provide a ``remote_path_from_transport`` method. (Andrew Bennetts)
652
653
* The default permissions for creating new files and directories
654
should now be obtained from ``BzrDir._get_file_mode()`` and
655
``_get_dir_mode()``, rather than from LockableFiles. The ``_set_file_mode``
656
and ``_set_dir_mode`` variables on LockableFiles which were advertised
657
as a way for plugins to control this are no longer consulted.
658
(Martin Pool)
659
660
* ``VersionedFile.join`` is deprecated. This method required local
661
instances of both versioned file objects and was thus hostile to being
662
used for streaming from a smart server. The new get_record_stream and
663
insert_record_stream are meant to efficiently replace this method.
664
(Robert Collins)
665
666
* ``WorkingTree.set_parent_(ids/trees)`` will now filter out revisions
667
which are in the ancestry of other revisions. So if you merge the same
668
tree twice, or merge an ancestor of an existing merge, it will only
669
record the newest. (If you merge a descendent, it will replace its
670
ancestor). (John Arbash Meinel, #235407)
671
672
* ``WorkingTreeFormat2.stub_initialize_remote`` is now private.
673

bzr 1.5 2008-05-16
677
------------------
678
679
This release of Bazaar includes several updates to the documentation, and fixes
680
to prepare for making rich root support the default format. Many bugs have been
681
squashed, including fixes to log, bzr+ssh inter-operation with older servers.
682
683
CHANGES:
684
685
* Suppress deprecation warnings when bzrlib is a 'final' release. This way
686
users of packaged software won't be bothered with DeprecationWarnings,
687
but developers and testers will still see them. (John Arbash Meinel)
688
689
DOCUMENTATION:
690
691
* Incorporate feedback from Jelmer Vernooij and Neil Martinsen-Burrell

NOTES WHEN UPGRADING:
700
701
CHANGES:
702
703
* Broader support of GNU Emacs mail clients. Set
704
``mail_client=emacsclient`` in your bazaar.conf and ``send`` will pop the
705
bundle in a mail buffer according to the value of ``mail-user-agent``
706
variable. (Xavier Maillard)
707
708
FEATURES:
709
710
IMPROVEMENTS:
711
712
* Diff now handles revision specs like "branch:" and "submit:" more
713
efficiently. (Aaron Bentley, #202928)
714
715
* More friendly error given when attempt to start the smart server
716
on an address already in use. (Andrea Corbellini, #200575)
717
718
* Pull completes much faster when there is nothing to pull.
719
(Aaron Bentley)
720
721
BUGFIXES:
722
723
* Authentication.conf can define sections without password.
724
(Vincent Ladeuil, #199440)
725
726
* Avoid muttering every time a child update does not cause a progress bar
727
update. (John Arbash Meinel, #213771)
728
729
* ``Branch.reconcile()`` is now implemented. This allows ``bzr reconcile``
730
to fix when a Branch has a non-canonical mainline history. ``bzr check``
731
also detects this condition. (John Arbash Meinel, #177855)
732
733
* ``bzr log -r ..X bzr://`` was failing, because it was getting a request
734
for ``revision_id=None`` which was not a string.
735
(John Arbash Meinel, #211661)
736
737
* ``bzr commit`` now works with Microsoft's FTP service.
738
(Andreas Deininger)
739
740
* Catch definitions outside sections in authentication.conf.
741
(Vincent Ladeuil, #217650)
742
743
* Conversion from non-rich-root to rich-root(-pack) updates inventory
744
sha1s, even when bundles are used. (Aaron Bentley, #181391)
745
746
* Conversion from non-rich-root to rich-root(-pack) works correctly even
747
though search keys are not topologically sorted. (Aaron Bentley)
748
749
* Conversion from non-rich-root to rich-root(-pack) works even when a
750
parent revision has a different root id. (Aaron Bentley, #177874)
751
752
* Disable strace testing until strace is fixed (see bug #103133) and emit a
753
warning when selftest ends to remind us of leaking tests.
754
(Vincent Ladeuil, #226769)
755
756
* Fetching all revisions from a repository does not cause pack collisions.
757
(Robert Collins, Aaron Bentley, #212908)
758
759
* Fix error about "attempt to add line-delta in non-delta knit".
760
(Andrew Bennetts, #217701)
761
762
* Pushing a branch in "dirstate" format (Branch5) over bzr+ssh would break
763
if the remote server was < version 1.2. This was due to a bug in the
764
RemoteRepository.get_parent_map() fallback code.
765
(John Arbash Meinel, #214894)
766
767
* Remove leftover code in ``bzr_branch`` that inappropriately creates
768
a ``branch-name`` file in the branch control directory.
769
(Martin Pool)
770
771
* Set SO_REUSEADDR on server sockets of ``bzr serve`` to avoid problems
772
rebinding the socket when starting the server a second time.
773
(John Arbash Meinel, Martin Pool, #164288)
774
775
* Severe performance degradation in fetching from knit repositories to
776
knits and packs due to parsing the entire revisions.kndx on every graph
777
walk iteration fixed by using the Repository.get_graph API. There was
778
another regression in knit => knit fetching which re-read the index for
779
every revision each side had in common.
780
(Robert Collins, John Arbash Meinel)
781
782
* When logging the changes to a particular file, there was a bug if there
783
were ghosts in the revision ancestry. (John Arbash Meinel, #209948)
784
785
* xs4all's ftp server returns a temporary error when trying to list an
786
empty directory, rather than returning an empty list. Adding a
787
workaround so that we don't get spurious failures.
788
(John Arbash Meinel, #215522)
789
790
DOCUMENTATION:
791
792
* Expanded the User Guide to include new chapters on popular plugins and
793
integrating Bazaar into your environment. The *Best practices* chapter
794
was renamed to *Miscellaneous topics* as suggested by community
795
feedback as well. (Ian Clatworthy)
796
797
* Document outlining strategies for TortoiseBzr. (Mark Hammond)
798
799
* Improved the documentation on hooks. (Ian Clatworthy)
800
801
* Update authentication docs regarding ssh agents.
802
(Vincent Ladeuil, #183705)
803
804
TESTING:
805
806
* Add ``thread_name_suffix`` parameter to SmartTCPServer_for_testing, to
807
make it easy to identify which test spawned a thread with an unhandled
808
exception. (Andrew Bennetts)
809
810
* New ``--debugflag``/``-E`` option to ``bzr selftest`` for setting
811
options for debugging tests, these are complementary to the the -D
812
options. The ``-Dselftest_debug`` global option has been replaced by the
813
``-E=allow_debug`` option for selftest. (Andrew Bennetts)
814
815
* Parameterised test ids are preserved correctly to aid diagnosis of test
816
failures. (Robert Collins, Andrew Bennetts)
817
818
* selftest now accepts --starting-with <id> to load only the tests whose id
819
starts with the one specified. This greatly speeds up running the test
820
suite on a limited set of tests and can be used to run the tests for a
821
single module, a single class or even a single test. (Vincent Ladeuil)
822
823
* The test suite modules have been modified to define load_tests() instead
824
of test_suite(). That speeds up selective loading (via --load-list)
825
significantly and provides many examples on how to migrate (grep for
826
load_tests). (Vincent Ladeuil)
827
828
INTERNALS:
829
830
* ``Hooks.install_hook`` is now deprecated in favour of
831
``Hooks.install_named_hook`` which adds a required ``name`` parameter, to
832
avoid having to call ``Hooks.name_hook``. (Daniel Watkins)
833
834
* Implement xml8 serializer. (Aaron Bentley)
835
836
* New form ``@deprecated_method(deprecated_in(1, 5, 0))`` for making
837
deprecation wrappers. (Martin Pool)
838
839
* ``Repository.revision_parents`` is now deprecated in favour of
840
``Repository.get_parent_map([revid])[revid]``. (Jelmer Vernooij)
841
842
* The Python ``assert`` statement is no longer used in Bazaar source, and
843
a test checks this. (Martin Pool)
844
845
API CHANGES:
846
847
* ``bzrlib.status.show_pending_merges`` requires the repository to be
848
locked by the caller. Callers should have been doing it anyway, but it
849
will now raise an exception if they do not. (John Arbash Meinel)
850
851
* Repository.get_data_stream, Repository.get_data_stream_for_search(),
852
Repository.get_deltas_for_revsions(), Repository.revision_trees(),
853
Repository.item_keys_introduced_by() no longer take read locks.
854
(Aaron Bentley)
855
856
* ``LockableFiles.get_utf8`` and ``.get`` are deprecated, as a start
857
towards removing LockableFiles and ``.control_files`` entirely.
858
(Martin Pool)
859
860
* Methods deprecated prior to 1.1 have been removed.

865
------------------
866
867
This release of Bazaar includes handy improvements to the speed of log and
868
status, new options for several commands, improved documentation, and better
869
hooks, including initial code for server-side hooks. A number of bugs have
870
been fixed, particularly in interoperability between different formats or
871
different releases of Bazaar over there network. There's been substantial
872
internal work in both the repository and network code to enable new features
873
and faster performance.

890
(John Arbash Meinel, #211661)

892
* Fixed a bug in handling ghost revisions when logging changes in a
893
particular file. (John Arbash Meinel, #209948)

895
* Fix error about "attempt to add line-delta in non-delta knit".

909
CHANGES:
910
911
* bzr main script cannot be imported (Benjamin Peterson)
912
913
* On Linux bzr additionally looks for plugins in arch-independent site
914
directory. (Toshio Kuratomi)
915
916
* The ``set_rh`` branch hook is now deprecated. Please migrate
917
any plugins using this hook to use an alternative, e.g.
918
``post_change_branch_tip``. (Ian Clatworthy)
919
920
* When a plugin cannot be loaded as the file path is not a valid
921
python module name bzr will now strip a ``bzr_`` prefix from the
922
front of the suggested name, as many plugins (e.g. bzr-svn)
923
want to be installed without this prefix. It is a common mistake
924
to have a folder named "bzr-svn" for that plugin, especially
925
as this is what bzr branch lp:bzr-svn will give you. (James Westby,
926
Andrew Cowie)
927
928
* UniqueIntegerBugTracker now appends bug-ids instead of joining
929
them to the base URL. Plugins that register bug trackers may
930
need a trailing / added to the base URL if one is not already there.
931
(James Wesby, Andrew Cowie)
932
933
FEATURES:
934
935
* Added start_commit hook for mutable trees. (Jelmer Vernooij, #186422)

* ``status`` now accepts ``--no-pending`` to show the status without
938
listing pending merges, which speeds up the command a lot on large
939
histories. (James Westby, #202830)
940
941
* New ``post_change_branch_tip`` hook that is called after the
942
branch tip is moved but while the branch is still write-locked.
943
See the User Reference for signature details.
944
(Ian Clatworthy, James Henstridge)
945
946
* Reconfigure can convert a branch to be standalone or to use a shared
947
repository. (Aaron Bentley)
948
949
IMPROVEMENTS:
950
951
* The smart protocol now has support for setting branches' revision info
952
directly. This should make operations like push slightly faster, and is a
953
step towards server-side hooks. The new request method name is
954
``Branch.set_last_revision_info``. (Andrew Bennetts)
955
956
* ``bzr commit --fixes`` now recognises "gnome" as a tag by default.
957
(James Westby, Andrew Cowie)
958
959
* ``bzr switch`` will attempt to find branches to switch to relative to the
960
current branch. E.g. ``bzr switch branchname`` will look for
961
``current_branch/../branchname``. (Robert Collins, Jelmer Vernooij,
962
Wouter van Heyst)
963
964
* Diff is now more specific about execute-bit changes it describes
965
(Chad Miller)
966
967
* Fetching data over HTTP is a bit faster when urllib is used. This is done
968
by forcing it to recv 64k at a time when reading lines in HTTP headers,
969
rather than just 1 byte at a time. (Andrew Bennetts)
970
971
* Log --short and --line are much faster when -r is not specified.
972
(Aaron Bentley)
973
974
* Merge is faster. We no longer check a file's existence unnecessarily
975
when merging the execute bit. (Aaron Bentley)
976
977
* ``bzr status`` on an explicit list of files no longer shows pending
978
merges, making it much faster on large trees. (John Arbash Meinel)
979
980
* The launchpad directory service now warns the user if they have not set
981
their launchpad login and are trying to resolve a URL using it, just
982
in case they want to do a write operation with it. (James Westby)
983
984
* The smart protocol client is slightly faster, because it now only queries
985
the server for the protocol version once per connection. Also, the HTTP
986
transport will now automatically probe for and use a smart server if
987
one is present. You can use the new ``nosmart+`` transport decorator
988
to get the old behaviour. (Andrew Bennetts)
989
990
* The ``version`` command takes a ``--short`` option to print just the
991
version number, for easier use in scripts. (Martin Pool)
992
993
* Various operations with revision specs and commands that calculate
994
revnos and revision ids are faster. (John A. Meinel, Aaron Bentley)
995
996
BUGFIXES:
997
998
* Add ``root_client_path`` parameter to SmartWSGIApp and
999
SmartServerRequest. This makes it possible to publish filesystem
1000
locations that don't exactly match URL paths. SmartServerRequest
1001
subclasses should use the new ``translate_client_path`` and
1002
``transport_from_client_path`` methods when dealing with paths received
1003
from a client to take this into account. (Andrew Bennetts, #124089)
1004
1005
* ``bzr mv a b`` can be now used also to rename previously renamed
1006
directories, not only files. (Lukáš Lalinský, #107967)
1007
1008
* ``bzr uncommit --local`` can now remove revisions from the local
1009
branch to be symmetric with ``bzr commit --local``.
1010
(John Arbash Meinel, #93412)
1011
1012
* Don't ask for a password if there is no real terminal.
1013
(Alexander Belchenko, #69851)
1014
1015
* Fix a bug causing a ValueError crash in ``parse_line_delta_iter`` when
1016
fetching revisions from a knit to pack repository or vice versa using
1017
bzr:// (including over http or ssh).
1018
(#208418, Andrew Bennetts, Martin Pool, Robert Collins)
1019
1020
* Fixed ``_get_line`` in ``bzrlib.smart.medium``, which was buggy. Also
1021
fixed ``_get_bytes`` in the same module to use the push back buffer.
1022
These bugs had no known impact in normal use, but were problematic for
1023
developers working on the code, and were likely to cause real bugs sooner
1024
or later. (Andrew Bennetts)
1025
1026
* Implement handling of basename parameter for DefaultMail. (James Westby)
1027
1028
* Incompatibility with Paramiko versions newer than 1.7.2 was fixed.
1029
(Andrew Bennetts, #213425)
1030
1031
* Launchpad locations (lp: URLs) can be pulled. (Aaron Bentley, #181945)
1032
1033
* Merges that add files to deleted root directories complete. They
1034
do create conflicts. (Aaron Bentley, #210092)
1035
1036
* vsftp's return ``550 RNFR command failed.`` supported.
1037
(Marcus Trautwig, #129786)

DOCUMENTATION:
1040
1041
* Improved documentation on send/merge relationship. (Peter Schuller)
1042
1043
* Minor fixes to the User Guide. (Matthew Fuller)
1044
1045
* Reduced the evangelism in the User Guide. (Ian Clatworthy)
1046
1047
* Added Integrating with Bazaar document for developers (Martin Albisetti)
1048
1049
API BREAKS:
1050
1051
* Attempting to pull data from a ghost aware repository (e.g. knits) into a
1052
non-ghost aware repository such as weaves will now fail if there are
1053
ghosts. (Robert Collins)
1054
1055
* ``KnitVersionedFile`` no longer accepts an ``access_mode`` parameter, and
1056
now requires the ``index`` and ``access_method`` parameters to be
1057
supplied. A compatible shim has been kept in the new function
1058
``knit.make_file_knit``. (Robert Collins)
1059
1060
* Log formatters must now provide log_revision instead of show and
1061
show_merge_revno methods. The latter had been deprecated since the 0.17
1062
release. (James Westby)
1063
1064
* ``LoopbackSFTP`` is now called ``SocketAsChannelAdapter``.
1065
(Andrew Bennetts)
1066
1067
* ``osutils.backup_file`` is removed. (Alexander Belchenko)
1068
1069
* ``Repository.get_revision_graph`` is deprecated, with no replacement
1070
method. The method was size(history) and not desirable. (Robert Collins)
1071
1072
* ``revision.revision_graph`` is deprecated, with no replacement function.
1073
The function was size(history) and not desirable. (Robert Collins)
1074
1075
* ``Transport.get_shared_medium`` is deprecated. Use
1076
``Transport.get_smart_medium`` instead. (Andrew Bennetts)
1077
1078
* ``VersionedFile`` factories now accept a get_scope parameter rather
1079
than using a call to ``transaction_finished``, allowing the removal of
1080
the fixed list of versioned files per repository. (Robert Collins)
1081
1082
* ``VersionedFile.annotate_iter`` is deprecated. While in principle this
1083
allowed lower memory use, all users of annotations wanted full file
1084
annotations, and there is no storage format suitable for incremental
1085
line-by-line annotation. (Robert Collins)
1086
1087
* ``VersionedFile.clone_text`` is deprecated. This performance optimisation
1088
is no longer used - reading the content of a file that is undergoing a
1089
file level merge to identical state on two branches is rare enough, and
1090
not expensive enough to special case. (Robert Collins)
1091
1092
* ``VersionedFile.clear_cache`` and ``enable_cache`` are deprecated.
1093
These methods added significant complexity to the ``VersionedFile``
1094
implementation, but were only used for optimising fetches from knits -
1095
which can be done from outside the knit layer, or via a caching
1096
decorator. As knits are not the default format, the complexity is no
1097
longer worth paying. (Robert Collins)
1098
1099
* ``VersionedFile.create_empty`` is removed. This method presupposed a
1100
sensible mapping to a transport for individual files, but pack backed
1101
versioned files have no such mapping. (Robert Collins)
1102
1103
* ``VersionedFile.get_graph`` is deprecated, with no replacement method.
1104
The method was size(history) and not desirable. (Robert Collins)
1105
1106
* ``VersionedFile.get_graph_with_ghosts`` is deprecated, with no
1107
replacement method. The method was size(history) and not desirable.
1108
(Robert Collins)
1109
1110
* ``VersionedFile.get_parents`` is deprecated, please use
1111
``VersionedFile.get_parent_map``. (Robert Collins)
1112
1113
* ``VersionedFile.get_sha1`` is deprecated, please use
1114
``VersionedFile.get_sha1s``. (Robert Collins)
1115
1116
* ``VersionedFile.has_ghost`` is now deprecated, as it is both expensive
1117
and unused outside of a single test. (Robert Collins)
1118
1119
* ``VersionedFile.iter_parents`` is now deprecated in favour of
1120
``get_parent_map`` which can be used to instantiate a Graph on a
1121
VersionedFile. (Robert Collins)
1122
1123
* ``VersionedFileStore`` no longer uses the transaction parameter given
1124
to most methods; amongst other things this means that the
1125
get_weave_or_empty method no longer guarantees errors on a missing weave
1126
in a readonly transaction, and no longer caches versioned file instances
1127
which reduces memory pressure (but requires more careful management by
1128
callers to preserve performance). (Robert Collins)
1129
1130
TESTING:
1131
1132
* New -Dselftest_debug flag disables clearing of the debug flags during
1133
tests. This is useful if you want to use e.g. -Dhpss to help debug a
1134
failing test. Be aware that using this feature is likely to cause
1135
spurious test failures if used with the full suite. (Andrew Bennetts)
1136
1137
* selftest --load-list now uses a new more agressive test loader that will
1138
avoid loading unneeded modules and building their tests. Plugins can use
1139
this new loader by defining a load_tests function instead of a test_suite
1140
function. (a forthcoming patch will provide many examples on how to
1141
implement this).
1142
(Vincent Ladeuil)
1143
1144
* selftest --load-list now does some sanity checks regarding duplicate test
1145
IDs and tests present in the list but not found in the actual test suite.
1146
(Vincent Ladeuil)
1147
1148
* Slightly more concise format for the selftest progress bar, so there's
1149
more space to show the test name. (Martin Pool) ::
1150
1151
[2500/10884, 1fail, 3miss in 1m29s] test_revisionnamespaces.TestRev
1152
1153
* The test suite takes much less memory to run, and is a bit faster. This
1154
is done by clearing most attributes of TestCases after running them, if
1155
they succeeded. (Andrew Bennetts)
1156
1157
INTERNALS:
1158
1159
* Added ``_build_client_protocol`` to ``_SmartClient``. (Andrew Bennetts)
1160
1161
* Added basic infrastructure for automatic plugin suggestion.
1162
(Martin Albisetti)
1163
1164
* If a ``LockableFiles`` object is not explicitly unlocked (for example
1165
because of a missing ``try/finally`` block, it will give a warning but
1166
not automatically unlock itself. (Previously they did.) This
1167
sometimes caused knock-on errors if for example the network connection
1168
had already failed, and should not be relied upon by code.
1169
(Martin Pool, #109520)
1170
1171
* ``make dist`` target to build a release tarball, and also
1172
``check-dist-tarball`` and ``dist-upload-escudero``. (Martin Pool)
1173
1174
* The ``read_response_tuple`` method of ``SmartClientRequestProtocol*``
1175
classes will now raise ``UnknownSmartMethod`` when appropriate, so that
1176
callers don't need to try distinguish unknown request errors from other
1177
errors. (Andrew Bennetts)
1178
1179
* ``set_make_working_trees`` is now implemented provided on all repository
1180
implementations (Aaron Bentley)
1181
1182
* ``VersionedFile`` now has a new method ``get_parent_map`` which, like
1183
``Graph.get_parent_map`` returns a dict of key:parents. (Robert Collins)

------------------
1205
1206
Bazaar has become part of the GNU project <http://www.gnu.org>
1207
1208
Many operations that act on history, including ``log`` and ``annotate`` are now
1209
substantially faster. Several bugs have been fixed and several new options and
1210
features have been added.
1211

NOTES WHEN UPGRADING:
1223
1224
* The backup directory created by ``upgrade`` is now called
1225
``backup.bzr``, not ``.bzr.backup``. (Martin Albisetti)
1226
1227
CHANGES:
1228
1229
* A new repository format 'development' has been added. This format will
1230
represent the latest 'in-progress' format that the bzr developers are
1231
interested in getting early-adopter testing and feedback on.
1232
``doc/developers/development-repo.txt`` has detailed information.
1233
(Robert Collins)
1234
1235
* BZR_LOG environment variable controls location of .bzr.log trace file.
1236
User can suppress writing messages to .bzr.log by using '/dev/null'
1237
filename (on Linux) or 'NUL' (on Windows). If BZR_LOG variable
1238
is not defined but BZR_HOME is defined then default location
1239
for .bzr.log trace file is ``$BZR_HOME/.bzr.log``.
1240
(Alexander Belchenko)
1241
1242
* ``launchpad`` builtin plugin now shipped as separate part in standalone
1243
bzr.exe, installed to ``C:\Program Files\Bazaar\plugins`` directory,
1244
and standalone installer allows user to skip installation of this plugin.
1245
(Alexander Belchenko)
1246
1247
* Restore auto-detection of plink.exe on Windows. (Dmitry Vasiliev)
1248
1249
* Version number is now shown as "1.2" or "1.2pr2", without zeroed or
1250
missing final fields. (Martin Pool)
1251
1252
FEATURES:
1253
1254
* ``branch`` and ``checkout`` can hard-link working tree files, which is
1255
faster and saves space. (Aaron Bentley)
1256
1257
* ``bzr send`` will now also look at the ``child_submit_to`` setting in
1258
the submit branch to determine the email address to send to.
1259
(Jelmer Vernooij)
1260
1261
IMPROVEMENTS:
1262
1263
* BzrBranch._lefthand_history is faster on pack repos. (Aaron Bentley)
1264
1265
* Branch6.generate_revision_history is faster. (Aaron Bentley)
1266
1267
* Directory services can now be registered, allowing special URLs to be
1268
dereferenced into real URLs. This is a generalization and cleanup of
1269
the lp: transport lookup. (Aaron Bentley)
1270
1271
* Merge directives that are automatically attached to emails have nicer
1272
filenames, based on branch-nick + revno. (Aaron Bentley)
1273
1274
* ``push`` has a ``--revision`` option, to specify what revision to push up
1275
to. (Daniel Watkins)
1276
1277
* Significantly reducing execution time and network traffic for trivial
1278
case of running ``bzr missing`` command for two identical branches.
1279
(Alexander Belchenko)
1280
1281
* Speed up operations that look at the revision graph (such as 'bzr log').
1282
``KnitPackRepositor.get_revision_graph`` uses ``Graph.iter_ancestry`` to
1283
extract the revision history. This allows filtering ghosts while
1284
stepping instead of needing to peek ahead. (John Arbash Meinel)
1285
1286
* The ``hooks`` command lists installed hooks, to assist in debugging.
1287
(Daniel Watkins)
1288
1289
* Updates to how ``annotate`` work. Should see a measurable improvement in
1290
performance and memory consumption for file with a lot of merges.
1291
Also, correctly handle when a line is introduced by both parents (it
1292
should be attributed to the first merge which notices this, and not
1293
to all subsequent merges.) (John Arbash Meinel)
1294
1295
BUGFIXES:
1296
1297
* Autopacking no longer holds the full set of inventory lines in
1298
memory while copying. For large repositories, this can amount to
1299
hundreds of MB of ram consumption.
1300
(Ian Clatworthy, John Arbash Meinel)
1301
1302
* Cherrypicking when using ``--format=merge3`` now explictly excludes
1303
BASE lines. (John Arbash Meinel, #151731)
1304
1305
* Disable plink's interactive prompt for password.
1306
(#107593, Dmitry Vasiliev)
1307

* Encode command line arguments from unicode to user_encoding before
1309
invoking external mail client in `bzr send` command.
1310

1311
1312
* Fixed problem connecting to ``bzr+https://`` servers.
1313
(#198793, John Ferlito)
1314
1315
* Improved error reporting in the Launchpad plugin. (Daniel Watkins,
1316
#196618)
1317
1318
* Include quick-start-summary.svg file to python-based installer(s)
1319
for Windows. (#192924, Alexander Belchenko)
1320
1321
* lca merge now respects specified files. (Aaron Bentley)
1322
1323
* Make version-info --custom imply --all. (#195560, James Westby)
1324
1325
* ``merge --preview`` now works for merges that add or modify
1326
symlinks (James Henstridge)
1327
1328
* Redirecting the output from ``bzr merge`` (when the remembered
1329
location is used) now works. (John Arbash Meinel)
1330
1331
* setup.py script explicitly checks for Python version.
1332
(Jari Aalto, Alexander Belchenko, #200569)
1333
1334
* UnknownFormatErrors no longer refer to branches regardless of kind of
1335
unknown format. (Daniel Watkins, #173980)
1336
1337
* Upgrade bundled ConfigObj to version 4.5.2, which properly quotes #
1338
signs, among other small improvements. (Matt Nordhoff, #86838)
1339
1340
* Use correct indices when emitting LCA conflicts. This fixes IndexError
1341
errors. (Aaron Bentley, #196780)

1352
(Alexander Belchenko)
1353
1354
TESTING:
1355
1356
* Added missing blackbox tests for ``modified`` (Adrian Wilkins)
1357
1358
* The branch interface tests were invalid for branches using rich-root
1359
repositories because the empty string is not a valid file-id.
1360
(Robert Collins)
1361
1362
INTERNALS:
1363
1364
* ``Graph.iter_ancestry`` returns the ancestry of revision ids. Similar to
1365
``Repository.get_revision_graph()`` except it includes ghosts and you can
1366
stop part-way through. (John Arbash Meinel)
1367
1368
* New module ``tools/package_mf.py`` provide custom module finder for
1369
python packages (improves standard python library's modulefinder.py)
1370
used by ``setup.py`` script while building standalone bzr.exe.
1371
(Alexander Belchenko)
1372
1373
* New remote method ``RemoteBzrDir.find_repositoryV2`` adding support for
1374
detecting external lookup support on remote repositories. This method is
1375
now attempted first when lookup up repositories, leading to an extra
1376
round trip on older bzr smart servers. (Robert Collins)
1377
1378
* Repository formats have a new supported-feature attribute
1379
``supports_external_lookups`` used to indicate repositories which support
1380
falling back to other repositories when they have partial data.
1381
(Robert Collins)
1382
1383
* ``Repository.get_revision_graph_with_ghosts`` and
1384
``bzrlib.revision.(common_ancestor,MultipleRevisionSources,common_graph)``
1385
have been deprecated. (John Arbash Meinel)
1386
1387
* ``Tree.iter_changes`` is now a public API, replacing the work-in-progress
1388
``Tree._iter_changes``. The api is now considered stable and ready for
1389
external users. (Aaron Bentley)
1390
1391
* The bzrdir format registry now accepts an ``alias`` keyword to
1392
register_metadir, used to indicate that a format name is an alias for
1393
some other format and thus should not be reported when describing the
1394
format. (Robert Collins)

NOTES WHEN UPGRADING:
1409
1410
* Fetching via the smart protocol may need to reconnect once during a fetch
1411
if the remote server is running Bazaar 1.1 or earlier, because the client
1412
attempts to use more efficient requests that confuse older servers. You
1413
may be required to re-enter a password or passphrase when this happens.
1414
This won't happen if the server is upgraded to Bazaar 1.2.
1415
(Andrew Bennetts)
1416
1417
CHANGES:
1418
1419
* Fetching via bzr+ssh will no longer fill ghosts by default (this is
1420
consistent with pack-0.92 fetching over SFTP). (Robert Collins)
1421
1422
* Formatting of ``bzr plugins`` output is changed to be more human-
1423
friendly. Full path of plugins locations will be shown only with
1424
``--verbose`` command-line option. (Alexander Belchenko)
1425
1426
* ``merge`` now prefers to use the submit branch, but will fall back to
1427
parent branch. For many users, this has no effect. But some users who
1428
pull and merge on the same branch will notice a change. This change
1429
makes it easier to work on a branch on two different machines, pulling
1430
between the machines, while merging from the upstream.
1431
``merge --remember`` can now be used to set the submit_branch.
1432
(Aaron Bentley)
1433
1434
FEATURES:
1435
1436
* ``merge --preview`` produces a diff of the changes merge would make,
1437
but does not actually perform the merge. (Aaron Bentley)
1438
1439
* New smart method ``Repository.get_parent_map`` for getting revision
1440
parent data. This returns additional parent information topologically
1441
adjacent to the requested data to reduce round trip latency impacts.
1442
(Robert Collins)
1443
1444
* New smart method, ``Repository.stream_revisions_chunked``, for fetching
1445
revision data that streams revision data via a chunked encoding. This
1446
avoids buffering large amounts of revision data on the server and on the
1447
client, and sends less data to the server to request the revisions.
1448
(Andrew Bennetts, Robert Collins, #178353)
1449
1450
* The launchpad plugin now handles lp urls of the form
1451
``lp://staging/``, ``lp://demo/``, ``lp://dev/`` to use the appropriate
1452
launchpad instance to do the resolution of the branch identities.
1453
This is primarily of use to Launchpad developers, but can also
1454
be used by other users who want to try out Launchpad as
1455
a branch location without messing up their public Launchpad
1456
account. Branches that are pushed to the staging environment
1457
have an expected lifetime of one day. (Tim Penhey)
1458
1459
IMPROVEMENTS:
1460
1461
* Creating a new branch no longer tries to read the entire revision-history
1462
unnecessarily over smart server operations. (Robert Collins)
1463
1464
* Fetching between different repository formats with compatible models now
1465
takes advantage of the smart method to stream revisions. (Andrew Bennetts)
1466
1467
* The ``--coverage`` option is now global, rather specific to ``bzr
1468
selftest``. (Andrew Bennetts)
1469
1470
* The ``register-branch`` command will now use the public url of the branch
1471
containing the current directory, if one has been set and no explicit
1472
branch is provided. (Robert Collins)
1473
1474
* Tweak the ``reannotate`` code path to optimize the 2-parent case.
1475
Speeds up ``bzr annotate`` with a pack repository by approx 3:2.
1476
(John Arbash Meinel)
1477
1478
BUGFIXES:
1479
1480
* Calculate remote path relative to the shared medium in _SmartClient. This
1481
is related to the problem in bug #124089. (Andrew Bennetts)
1482
1483
* Cleanly handle connection errors in smart protocol version two, the same
1484
way as they are handled by version one. (Andrew Bennetts)
1485
1486
* Clearer error when ``version-info --custom`` is used without
1487
``--template`` (Lukáš Lalinský)
1488
1489
* Don't raise UnavailableFeature during test setup when medusa is not
1490
available or tearDown is never called leading to nasty side effects.
1491
(#137823, Vincent Ladeuil)
1492
1493
* If a plugin's test suite cannot be loaded, for example because of a syntax
1494
error in the tests, then ``selftest`` fails, rather than just printing
1495
a warning. (Martin Pool, #189771)
1496
1497
* List possible values for BZR_SSH environment variable in env-variables
1498
help topic. (Alexander Belchenko, #181842)
1499
1500
* New methods ``push_log_file`` and ``pop_log_file`` to intercept messages:
1501
popping the log redirection now precisely restores the previous state,
1502
which makes it easier to use bzr log output from other programs.
1503
TestCaseInTempDir no longer depends on a log redirection being established
1504
by the test framework, which lets bzr tests cleanly run from a normal
1505
unittest runner.
1506
(#124153, #124849, Martin Pool, Jonathan Lange)
1507
1508
* ``pull --quiet`` is now more quiet, in particular a message is no longer
1509
printed when the remembered pull location is used. (James Westby,
1510
#185907)
1511
1512
* ``reconfigure`` can safely be interrupted while fetching.
1513
(Aaron Bentley, #179316)
1514
1515
* ``reconfigure`` preserves tags when converting to and from lightweight
1516
checkouts. (Aaron Bentley, #182040)
1517
1518
* Stop polluting /tmp when running selftest.
1519
(Vincent Ladeuil, #123623)
1520
1521
* Switch from NFKC => NFC for normalization checks. NFC allows a few
1522
more characters which should be considered valid.
1523
(John Arbash Meinel, #185458)
1524
1525
* The launchpad plugin now uses the ``edge`` xmlrpc server to avoid
1526
interacting badly with a bug on the launchpad side. (Robert Collins)
1527
1528
* Unknown hostnames when connecting to a ``bzr://`` URL no longer cause
1529
tracebacks. (Andrew Bennetts, #182849)
1530
1531
API BREAKS:
1532
1533
* Classes implementing Merge types like Merge3Merger must now accept (and
1534
honour) a do_merge flag in their constructor. (Aaron Bentley)
1535
1536
* ``Repository.add_inventory`` and ``add_revision`` now require the caller
1537
to previously take a write lock (and start a write group.)
1538
(Martin Pool)
1539
1540
TESTING:
1541
1542
* selftest now accepts --load-list <file> to load a test id list. This
1543
speeds up running the test suite on a limited set of tests.
1544
(Vincent Ladeuil)
1545
1546
INTERNALS:
1547
1548
* Add a new method ``get_result`` to graph search objects. The resulting
1549
``SearchResult`` can be used to recreate the search later, which will
1550
be useful in reducing network traffic. (Robert Collins)
1551
1552
* Use convenience function to check whether two repository handles
1553
are referring to the same repository in ``Repository.get_graph``.
1554
(Jelmer Vernooij, #187162)
1555
1556
* Fetching now passes the find_ghosts flag through to the
1557
``InterRepository.missing_revision_ids`` call consistently for all
1558
repository types. This will enable faster missing revision discovery with
1559
bzr+ssh. (Robert Collins)
1560
1561
* Fix error handling in Repository.insert_data_stream. (Lukas Lalinsky)
1562
1563
* ``InterRepository.missing_revision_ids`` is now deprecated in favour of
1564
``InterRepository.search_missing_revision_ids`` which returns a
1565
``bzrlib.graph.SearchResult`` suitable for making requests from the smart
1566
server. (Robert Collins)
1567
1568
* New error ``NoPublicBranch`` for commands that need a public branch to
1569
operate. (Robert Collins)
1570
1571
* New method ``iter_inventories`` on Repository for access to many
1572
inventories. This is primarily used by the ``revision_trees`` method, as
1573
direct access to inventories is discouraged. (Robert Collins)
1574
1575
* New method ``next_with_ghosts`` on the Graph breadth-first-search objects
1576
which will split out ghosts and present parents into two separate sets,
1577
useful for code which needs to be aware of ghosts (e.g. fetching data
1578
cares about ghosts during revision selection). (Robert Collins)
1579
1580
* Record a timestamp against each mutter to the trace file, relative to the
1581
first import of bzrlib. (Andrew Bennetts)
1582
1583
* ``Repository.get_data_stream`` is now deprecated in favour of
1584
``Repository.get_data_stream_for_search`` which allows less network
1585
traffic when requesting data streams over a smart server. (Robert Collins)
1586
1587
* ``RemoteBzrDir._get_tree_branch`` no longer triggers ``_ensure_real``,
1588
removing one round trip on many network operations. (Robert Collins)
1589
1590
* RemoteTransport's ``recommended_page_size`` method now returns 64k, like
1591
SFTPTransport and HttpTransportBase. (Andrew Bennetts)
1592
1593
* Repository has a new method ``has_revisions`` which signals the presence
1594
of many revisions by returning a set of the revisions listed which are
1595
present. This can be done by index queries without reading data for parent
1596
revision names etc. (Robert Collins)

1603
1604
bzr 1.1rc1 2008-01-05
1605
---------------------
1606
1607
CHANGES:
1608
1609
* Dotted revision numbers have been revised. Instead of growing longer with
1610
nested branches the branch number just increases. (eg instead of 1.1.1.1.1
1611
we now report 1.2.1.) This helps scale long lived branches which have many
1612
feature branches merged between them. (John Arbash Meinel)
1613
1614
* The syntax ``bzr diff branch1 branch2`` is no longer supported.
1615
Use ``bzr diff branch1 --new branch2`` instead. This change has
1616
been made to remove the ambiguity where ``branch2`` is in fact a
1617
specific file to diff within ``branch1``.
1618
1619
FEATURES:
1620
1621
* New option to use custom template-based formats in ``bzr version-info``.
1622
(Lukáš Lalinský)
1623
1624
* diff '--using' allows an external diff tool to be used for files.
1625
(Aaron Bentley)
1626
1627
* New "lca" merge-type for fast everyday merging that also supports
1628
criss-cross merges. (Aaron Bentley)
1629
1630
IMPROVEMENTS:
1631
1632
* ``annotate`` now doesn't require a working tree. (Lukáš Lalinský,
1633
#90049)
1634
1635
* ``branch`` and ``checkout`` can now use files from a working tree to
1636
to speed up the process. For checkout, this requires the new
1637
--files-from flag. (Aaron Bentley)
1638
1639
* ``bzr diff`` now sorts files in alphabetical order. (Aaron Bentley)
1640
1641
* ``bzr diff`` now works on branches without working trees. Tree-less
1642
branches can also be compared to each other and to working trees using
1643
the new diff options ``--old`` and ``--new``. Diffing between branches,
1644
with or without trees, now supports specific file filtering as well.
1645
(Ian Clatworthy, #6700)
1646
1647
* ``bzr pack`` now orders revision texts in topological order, with newest
1648
at the start of the file, promoting linear reads for ``bzr log`` and the
1649
like. This partially fixes #154129. (Robert Collins)
1650
1651
* Merge directives now fetch prerequisites from the target branch if
1652
needed. (Aaron Bentley)
1653
1654
* pycurl now handles digest authentication.
1655
(Vincent Ladeuil)
1656
1657
* ``reconfigure`` can now convert from repositories. (Aaron Bentley)
1658
1659
* ``-l`` is now a short form for ``--limit`` in ``log``. (Matt Nordhoff)
1660
1661
* ``merge`` now warns when merge directives cause cherrypicks.
1662
(Aaron Bentley)
1663
1664
* ``split`` now supported, to enable splitting large trees into smaller
1665
pieces. (Aaron Bentley)
1666
1667
BUGFIXES:
1668
1669
* Avoid AttributeError when unlocking a pack repository when an error occurs.
1670
(Martin Pool, #180208)
1671
1672
* Better handle short reads when processing multiple range requests.
1673
(Vincent Ladeuil, #179368)
1674
1675
* build_tree acceleration uses the correct path when a file has been moved.
1676
(Aaron Bentley)
1677
1678
* ``commit`` now succeeds when a checkout and its master branch share a
1679
repository. (Aaron Bentley, #177592)
1680
1681
* Fixed error reporting of unsupported timezone format in
1682
``log --timezone``. (Lukáš Lalinský, #178722)
1683
1684
* Fixed Unicode encoding error in ``ignored`` when the output is
1685
redirected to a pipe. (Lukáš Lalinský)
1686
1687
* Fix traceback when sending large response bodies over the smart protocol
1688
on Windows. (Andrew Bennetts, #115781)
1689
1690
* Fix ``urlutils.relative_url`` for the case of two ``file:///`` URLs
1691
pointed to different logical drives on Windows.
1692
(Alexander Belchenko, #90847)
1693
1694
* HTTP test servers are now compatible with the http protocol version 1.1.
1695
(Vincent Ladeuil, #175524)
1696
1697
* _KnitParentsProvider.get_parent_map now handles requests for ghosts
1698
correctly, instead of erroring or attributing incorrect parents to ghosts.
1699
(Aaron Bentley)
1700
1701
* ``merge --weave --uncommitted`` now works. (Aaron Bentley)
1702
1703
* pycurl authentication handling was broken and incomplete. Fix handling of
1704
user:pass embedded in the urls.
1705
(Vincent Ladeuil, #177643)
1706
1707
* Files inside non-directories are now handled like other conflict types.
1708
(Aaron Bentley, #177390)
1709
1710
* ``reconfigure`` is able to convert trees into lightweight checkouts.
1711
(Aaron Bentley)
1712
1713
* Reduce lockdir timeout to 0 when running ``bzr serve``. (Andrew Bennetts,
1714
#148087)
1715
1716
* Test that the old ``version_info_format`` functions still work, even
1717
though they are deprecated. (John Arbash Meinel, ShenMaq, #177872)
1718
1719
* Transform failures no longer cause ImmortalLimbo errors (Aaron Bentley,
1720
#137681)
1721
1722
* ``uncommit`` works even when the commit messages of revisions to be
1723
removed use characters not supported in the terminal encoding.
1724
(Aaron Bentley)
1725
1726
* When dumb http servers return whole files instead of the requested ranges,
1727
read the remaining bytes by chunks to avoid overflowing network buffers.
1728
(Vincent Ladeuil, #175886)
1729
1730
DOCUMENTATION:
1731
1732
* Minor tweaks made to the bug tracker integration documentation.
1733
(Ian Clatworthy)
1734
1735
* Reference material has now be moved out of the User Guide and added
1736
to the User Reference. The User Reference has gained 4 sections as
1737
a result: Authenication Settings, Configuration Settings, Conflicts
1738
and Hooks. All help topics are now dumped into text format in the
1739
doc/en/user-reference directory for those who like browsing that
1740
information in their editor. (Ian Clatworthy)
1741
1742
* *Using Bazaar with Launchpad* tutorial added. (Ian Clatworthy)
1743
1744
INTERNALS:
1745
1746
* find_* methods available for BzrDirs, Branches and WorkingTrees.
1747
(Aaron Bentley)
1748
1749
* Help topics can now be loaded from files.
1750
(Ian Clatworthy, Alexander Belchenko)
1751
1752
* get_parent_map now always provides tuples as its output. (Aaron Bentley)
1753
1754
* Parent Providers should now implement ``get_parent_map`` returning a
1755
dictionary instead of ``get_parents`` returning a list.
1756
``Graph.get_parents`` is now deprecated. (John Arbash Meinel,
1757
Robert Collins)
1758
1759
* Patience Diff now supports arbitrary python objects, as long as they
1760
support ``hash()``. (John Arbash Meinel)
1761
1762
* Reduce selftest overhead to establish test names by memoization.
1763
(Vincent Ladeuil)
1764
1765
API BREAKS:
1766
1767
TESTING:
1768
1769
* Modules can now customise their tests by defining a ``load_tests``
1770
attribute. ``pydoc bzrlib.tests.TestUtil.TestLoader.loadTestsFromModule``
1771
for the documentation on this attribute. (Robert Collins)
1772
1773
* New helper function ``bzrlib.tests.condition_id_re`` which helps
1774
filter tests based on a regular expression search on the tests id.
1775
(Robert Collins)
1776
1777
* New helper function ``bzrlib.tests.condition_isinstance`` which helps
1778
filter tests based on class. (Robert Collins)
1779
1780
* New helper function ``bzrlib.tests.exclude_suite_by_condition`` which
1781
generalises the ``exclude_suite_by_re`` function. (Robert Collins)
1782
1783
* New helper function ``bzrlib.tests.filter_suite_by_condition`` which
1784
generalises the ``filter_suite_by_re`` function. (Robert Collins)
1785
1786
* New helper method ``bzrlib.tests.exclude_tests_by_re`` which gives a new
1787
TestSuite that does not contain tests from the input that matched a
1788
regular expression. (Robert Collins)
1789
1790
* New helper method ``bzrlib.tests.randomize_suite`` which returns a
1791
randomized copy of the input suite. (Robert Collins)
1792
1793
* New helper method ``bzrlib.tests.split_suite_by_re`` which splits a test
1794
suite into two according to a regular expression. (Robert Collins)
1795
1796
* Parametrize all http tests for the transport implementations, the http
1797
protocol versions (1.0 and 1.1) and the authentication schemes.
1798
(Vincent Ladeuil)
1799
1800
* The ``exclude_pattern`` and ``random_order`` parameters to the function
1801
``bzrlib.tests.filter_suite_by_re`` have been deprecated. (Robert Collins)
1802
1803
* The method ``bzrlib.tests.sort_suite_by_re`` has been deprecated. It is
1804
replaced by the new helper methods added in this release. (Robert Collins)

1832
(Martin Pool)
1833

BUGFIXES:
1835
1836
* Fix Makefile rules for doc generation. (Ian Clatworthy, #175207)
1837
1838
* Give more feedback during long http downloads by making readv deliver data
1839
as it arrives for urllib, and issue more requests for pycurl. High latency
1840
networks are better handled by urllib, the pycurl implementation give more
1841
feedback but also incur more latency.
1842
(Vincent Ladeuil, #173010)
1843
1844
* Implement _make_parents_provider on RemoteRepository, allowing generating
1845
bundles against branches on a smart server. (Andrew Bennetts, #147836)

* ``bzr commit`` now doesn't print the revision number twice. (Matt
1873
Nordhoff, #172612)
1874
1875
* New configuration option ``bugtracker_<tracker_abbrevation>_url`` to
1876
define locations of bug trackers that are not directly supported by
1877
bzr or a plugin. The URL will be treated as a template and ``{id}``

* Support logging single merge revisions with short and line log formatters.
1881
(Kent Gibson)
1882
1883
* User Guide enhanced with suggested readability improvements from
1884
Matt Revell and corrections from John Arbash Meinel. (Ian Clatworthy)
1885
1886
* Quick Start Guide renamed to Quick Start Card, moved down in
1887
the catalog, provided in pdf and png format and updated to refer
1888
to ``send`` instead of ``bundle``. (Ian Clatworthy, #165080)
1889
1890
* ``switch`` can now be used on heavyweight checkouts as well as
1891
lightweight ones. After switching a heavyweight checkout, the
1892
local branch is a mirror/cache of the new bound branch and
1893
uncommitted changes in the working tree are merged. As a safety
1894
check, if there are local commits in a checkout which have not
1895
been committed to the previously bound branch, then ``switch``
1896
fails unless the ``--force`` option is given. This option is
1897
now also required if the branch a lightweight checkout is pointing
1898
to has been moved. (Ian Clatworthy)

(Lukáš Lalinský, #133782)
1911
1912
* Catch OSError 17 (file exists) in final phase of tree transform and show
1913
filename to user.
1914
(Alexander Belchenko, #111758)
1915
1916
* Catch ShortReadvErrors while using pycurl. Also make readv more robust by
1917
allowing multiple GET requests to be issued if too many ranges are
1918
required.
1919
(Vincent Ladeuil, #172701)
1920
1921
* Check for missing basis texts when fetching from packs to packs.
1922
(John Arbash Meinel, #165290)
1923

1925
committer/author has only e-mail. (Lukáš Lalinský, #157026)
1926
1927
API BREAKS:

1934
---------------------
1935
1936
NOTES WHEN UPGRADING:
1937
1938
* The default repository format is now ``pack-0.92``. This
1939
default is used when creating new repositories with ``init`` and
1940
``init-repo``, and when branching over bzr+ssh or bzr+hpss.
1941
(See https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/164626)
1942
1943
This format can be read and written by Bazaar 0.92 and later, and
1944
data can be transferred to and from older formats.
1945
1946
To upgrade, please reconcile your repository (``bzr reconcile``), and then
1947
upgrade (``bzr upgrade``).
1948
1949
``pack-0.92`` offers substantially better scaling and performance than the
1950
previous knits format. Some operations are slower where the code already
1951
had bad scaling characteristics under knits, the pack format makes such
1952
operations more visible as part of being more scalable overall. We will
1953
correct such operations over the coming releases and encourage the filing
1954
of bugs on any operation which you observe to be slower in a packs
1955
repository. One particular case that we do not intend to fix is pulling
1956
data from a pack repository into a knit repository over a high latency
1957
link; downgrading such data requires reinsertion of the file texts, and
1958
this is a classic space/time tradeoff. The current implementation is
1959
conservative on memory usage because we need to support converting data
1960
from any tree without problems.
1961
(Robert Collins, Martin Pool, #164476)
1962
1963
CHANGES:
1964
1965
* Disable detection of plink.exe as possible ssh vendor. Plink vendor
1966
still available if user selects it explicitly with BZR_SSH environment
1967
variable. (Alexander Belchenko, workaround for bug #107593)
1968
1969
* The pack format is now accessible as "pack-0.92", or "pack-0.92-subtree"
1970
to enable the subtree functions (for example, for bzr-svn).
1971
See http://doc.bazaar-vcs.org/latest/developer/packrepo.html
1972
(Martin Pool)
1973
1974
FEATURES:
1975
1976
* New ``authentication.conf`` file holding the password or other credentials
1977
for remote servers. This can be used for ssh, sftp, smtp and other
1978
supported transports.
1979
(Vincent Ladeuil)
1980
1981
* New rich-root and rich-root-pack formats, recording the same data about
1982
tree roots that's recorded for all other directories.
1983
(Aaron Bentley, #164639)
1984
1985
* ``pack-0.92`` repositories can now be reconciled.
1986
(Robert Collins, #154173)
1987
1988
* ``switch`` command added for changing the branch a lightweight checkout
1989
is associated with and updating the tree to reflect the latest content
1990
accordingly. This command was previously part of the BzrTools plug-in.
1991
(Ian Clatworthy, Aaron Bentley, David Allouche)
1992
1993
* ``reconfigure`` command can now convert branches, trees, or checkouts to
1994
lightweight checkouts. (Aaron Bentley)
1995
1996
PERFORMANCE:
1997
1998
* Commit updates the state of the working tree via a delta rather than
1999
supplying entirely new basis trees. For commit of a single specified file
2000
this reduces the wall clock time for commit by roughly a 30%.
2001
(Robert Collins, Martin Pool)
2002
2003
* Commit with many automatically found deleted paths no longer performs
2004
linear scanning for the children of those paths during inventory
2005
iteration. This should fix commit performance blowing out when many such
2006
paths occur during commit. (Robert Collins, #156491)
2007
2008
* Fetch with pack repositories will no longer read the entire history graph.
2009
(Robert Collins, #88319)
2010
2011
* Revert takes out an appropriate lock when reverting to a basis tree, and
2012
does not read the basis inventory twice. (Robert Collins)
2013
2014
* Diff does not require an inventory to be generated on dirstate trees.
2015
(Aaron Bentley, #149254)
2016
2017
* New annotate merge (--merge-type=weave) implementation is fast on
2018
versionedfiles withough cached annotations, e.g. pack-0.92.
2019
(Aaron Bentley)
2020
2021
IMPROVEMENTS:
2022
2023
* ``bzr merge`` now warns when it encounters a criss-cross merge.
2024
(Aaron Bentley)
2025
2026
* ``bzr send`` now doesn't require the target e-mail address to be
2027
specified on the command line if an interactive e-mail client is used.
2028
(Lukáš Lalinský)
2029
2030
* ``bzr tags`` now prints the revision number for each tag, instead of
2031
the revision id, unless --show-ids is passed. In addition, tags can be
2032
sorted chronologically instead of lexicographically with --sort=time.
2033
(Adeodato Simó, #120231)
2034
2035
* Windows standalone version of bzr is able to load system-wide plugins from
2036
"plugins" subdirectory in installation directory. In addition standalone
2037
installer write to the registry (HKLM\SOFTWARE\Bazaar) useful info
2038
about paths and bzr version. (Alexander Belchenko, #129298)

2045
(Robert Collins, #157789, #159147)
2046
2047
* Branching from a branch via smart server now preserves the repository
2048
format. (Andrew Bennetts, #164626)
2049
2050
* ``commit`` is now able to invoke an external editor in a non-ascii
2051
directory. (Daniel Watkins, #84043)
2052
2053
* Catch connection errors for ftp.
2054
(Vincent Ladeuil, #164567)
2055
2056
* ``check`` no longer reports spurious unreferenced text versions.
2057
(Robert Collins, John A Meinel, #162931, #165071)
2058
2059
* Conflicts are now resolved recursively by ``revert``.

2061
2062
* Detect invalid transport reuse attempts by catching invalid URLs.
2063
(Vincent Ladeuil, #161819)

* Deleting a file without removing it shows a correct diff, not a traceback.
2066
(Aaron Bentley)
2067
2068
* Do no use timeout in HttpServer anymore.
2069
(Vincent Ladeuil, #158972).
2070
2071
* Don't catch the exceptions related to the http pipeline status before
2072
retrying an http request or some programming errors may be masked.
2073
(Vincent Ladeuil, #160012)
2074
2075
* Fix ``bzr rm`` to not delete modified and ignored files.
2076
(Lukáš Lalinský, #172598)
2077
2078
* Fix exception when revisionspec contains merge revisons but log
2079
formatter doesn't support merge revisions. (Kent Gibson, #148908)
2080
2081
* Fix exception when ScopeReplacer is assigned to before any members have
2082
been retrieved. (Aaron Bentley)
2083
2084
* Fix multiple connections during checkout --lightweight.
2085
(Vincent Ladeuil, #159150)
2086
2087
* Fix possible error in insert_data_stream when copying between
2088
pack repositories over bzr+ssh or bzr+http.
2089
KnitVersionedFile.get_data_stream now makes sure that requested
2090
compression parents are sent before any delta hunks that depend
2091
on them.
2092
(Martin Pool, #164637)
2093
2094
* Fix typo in limiting offsets coalescing for http, leading to
2095
whole files being downloaded instead of parts.
2096
(Vincent Ladeuil, #165061)
2097
2098
* FTP server errors don't error in the error handling code.
2099
(Robert Collins, #161240)
2100
2101
* Give a clearer message when a pull fails because the source needs
2102
to be reconciled.
2103
(Martin Pool, #164443)
2104
2105
* It is clearer when a plugin cannot be loaded because of its name, and a
2106
suggestion for an acceptable name is given. (Daniel Watkins, #103023)
2107
2108
* Leave port as None in transport objects if user doesn't
2109
specify a port in urls.
2110
(vincent Ladeuil, #150860)
2111
2112
* Make sure Repository.fetch(self) is properly a no-op for all
2113
Repository implementations. (John Arbash Meinel, #158333)
2114
2115
* Mark .bzr directories as "hidden" on Windows.
2116
(Alexander Belchenko, #71147)
2117
2118
* ``merge --uncommitted`` can now operate on a single file.
2119
(Aaron Bentley, Lukáš Lalinský, #136890)
2120
2121
* Obsolete packs are now cleaned up by pack and autopack operations.
2122
(Robert Collins, #153789)
2123
2124
* Operations pulling data from a smart server where the underlying
2125
repositories are not both annotated/both unannotated will now work.
2126
(Robert Collins, #165304).
2127
2128
* Reconcile now shows progress bars. (Robert Collins, #159351)
2129
2130
* ``RemoteBranch`` was not initializing ``self._revision_id_to_revno_map``
2131
properly. (John Arbash Meinel, #162486)
2132
2133
* Removing an already-removed file reports the file does not exist. (Daniel
2134
Watkins, #152811)
2135
2136
* Rename on Windows is able to change filename case.
2137
(Alexander Belchenko, #77740)
2138
2139
* Return error instead of a traceback for ``bzr log -r0``.
2140
(Kent Gibson, #133751)
2141
2142
* Return error instead of a traceback when bzr is unable to create
2143
symlink on some platforms (e.g. on Windows).
2144
(Alexander Belchenko, workaround for #81689)
2145
2146
* Revert doesn't crash when restoring a single file from a deleted
2147
directory. (Aaron Bentley)
2148
2149
* Stderr output via logging mechanism now goes through encoded wrapper
2150
and no more uses utf-8, but terminal encoding instead. So all unicode
2151
strings now should be readable in non-utf-8 terminal.
2152
(Alexander Belchenko, #54173)
2153
2154
* The error message when ``move --after`` should be used makes how to do so
2155
clearer. (Daniel Watkins, #85237)
2156
2157
* Unicode-safe output from ``bzr info``. The output will be encoded
2158
using the terminal encoding and unrepresentable characters will be
2159
replaced by '?'. (Lukáš Lalinský, #151844)
2160
2161
* Working trees are no longer created when pushing into a local no-trees
2162
repo. (Daniel Watkins, #50582)
2163
2164
* Upgrade util/configobj to version 4.4.0.
2165
(Vincent Ladeuil, #151208).
2166
2167
* Wrap medusa ftp test server as an FTPServer feature.
2168
(Vincent Ladeuil, #157752)
2169
2170
API BREAKS:
2171
2172
* ``osutils.backup_file`` is deprecated. Actually it's not used in bzrlib
2173
during very long time. (Alexander Belchenko)
2174
2175
* The return value of
2176
``VersionedFile.iter_lines_added_or_present_in_versions`` has been
2177
changed. Previously it was an iterator of lines, now it is an iterator of
2178
(line, version_id) tuples. This change has been made to aid reconcile and
2179
fetch operations. (Robert Collins)
2180
2181
* ``bzrlib.repository.get_versioned_file_checker`` is now private.
2182
(Robert Collins)
2183
2184
* The Repository format registry default has been removed; it was previously
2185
obsoleted by the bzrdir format default, which implies a default repository
2186
format.
2187
(Martin Pool)
2188
2189
INTERNALS:
2190
2191
* Added ``ContainerSerialiser`` and ``ContainerPushParser`` to
2192
``bzrlib.pack``. These classes provide more convenient APIs for generating
2193
and parsing containers from streams rather than from files. (Andrew
2194
Bennetts)
2195
2196
* New module ``lru_cache`` providing a cache for use by tasks that need
2197
semi-random access to large amounts of data. (John A Meinel)
2198
2199
* InventoryEntry.diff is now deprecated. Please use diff.DiffTree instead.

2215
NOTES WHEN UPGRADING:
2216
2217
CHANGES:
2218
2219
* ``bzr`` now returns exit code 4 if an internal error occurred, and
2220
3 if a normal error occurred. (Martin Pool)
2221
2222
* ``pull``, ``merge`` and ``push`` will no longer silently correct some
2223
repository index errors that occured as a result of the Weave disk format.
2224
Instead the ``reconcile`` command needs to be run to correct those
2225
problems if they exist (and it has been able to fix most such problems
2226
since bzr 0.8). Some new problems have been identified during this release
2227
and you should run ``bzr check`` once on every repository to see if you
2228
need to reconcile. If you cannot ``pull`` or ``merge`` from a remote
2229
repository due to mismatched parent errors - a symptom of index errors -
2230
you should simply take a full copy of that remote repository to a clean
2231
directory outside any local repositories, then run reconcile on it, and
2232
finally pull from it locally. (And naturally email the repositories owner
2233
to ask them to upgrade and run reconcile).
2234
(Robert Collins)
2235
2236
FEATURES:
2237
2238
* New ``knitpack-experimental`` repository format. This is interoperable with
2239
the ``dirstate-tags`` format but uses a smarter storage design that greatly
2240
speeds up many operations, both local and remote. This new format can be
2241
used as an option to the ``init``, ``init-repository`` and ``upgrade``
2242
commands. See http://doc.bazaar-vcs.org/0.92/developers/knitpack.html
2243
for further details. (Robert Collins)
2244
2245
* For users of bzr-svn (and those testing the prototype subtree support) that
2246
wish to try packs, a new ``knitpack-subtree-experimental`` format has also
2247
been added. This is interoperable with the ``dirstate-subtrees`` format.
2248
(Robert Collins)
2249
2250
* New ``reconfigure`` command. (Aaron Bentley)
2251
2252
* New ``revert --forget-merges`` command, which removes the record of a pending
2253
merge without affecting the working tree contents. (Martin Pool)
2254
2255
* New ``bzr_remote_path`` configuration variable allows finer control of
2256
remote bzr locations than BZR_REMOTE_PATH environment variable.
2257
(Aaron Bentley)
2258
2259
* New ``launchpad-login`` command to tell Bazaar your Launchpad
2260
user ID. This can then be used by other functions of the
2261
Launchpad plugin. (James Henstridge)
2262
2263
PERFORMANCE:
2264
2265
* Commit in quiet mode is now slightly faster as the information to
2266
output is no longer calculated. (Ian Clatworthy)
2267
2268
* Commit no longer checks for new text keys during insertion when the
2269
revision id was deterministically unique. (Robert Collins)
2270
2271
* Committing a change which is not a merge and does not change the number of
2272
files in the tree is faster by utilising the data about whether files are
2273
changed to determine if the tree is unchanged rather than recalculating
2274
it at the end of the commit process. (Robert Collins)
2275
2276
* Inventory serialisation no longer double-sha's the content.
2277
(Robert Collins)
2278
2279
* Knit text reconstruction now avoids making copies of the lines list for
2280
interim texts when building a single text. The new ``apply_delta`` method
2281
on ``KnitContent`` aids this by allowing modification of the revision id
2282
such objects represent. (Robert Collins)
2283
2284
* Pack indices are now partially parsed for specific key lookup using a
2285
bisection approach. (Robert Collins)
2286
2287
* Partial commits are now approximately 40% faster by walking over the
2288
unselected current tree more efficiently. (Robert Collins)
2289
2290
* XML inventory serialisation takes 20% less time while being stricter about
2291
the contents. (Robert Collins)
2292
2293
* Graph ``heads()`` queries have been fixed to no longer access all history
2294
unnecessarily. (Robert Collins)
2295
2296
IMPROVEMENTS:
2297
2298
* ``bzr+https://`` smart server across https now supported.
2299
(John Ferlito, Martin Pool, #128456)
2300
2301
* Mutt is now a supported mail client; set ``mail_client=mutt`` in your
2302
bazaar.conf and ``send`` will use mutt. (Keir Mierle)
2303
2304
* New option ``-c``/``--change`` for ``merge`` command for cherrypicking
2305
changes from one revision. (Alexander Belchenko, #141368)
2306
2307
* Show encodings, locale and list of plugins in the traceback message.
2308
(Martin Pool, #63894)
2309
2310
* Experimental directory formats can now be marked with
2311
``experimental = True`` during registration. (Ian Clatworthy)
2312
2313
DOCUMENTATION:
2314
2315
* New *Bazaar in Five Minutes* guide. (Matthew Revell)
2316
2317
* The hooks reference documentation is now converted to html as expected.
2318
(Ian Clatworthy)
2319
2320
BUG FIXES:
2321
2322
* Connection error reporting for the smart server has been fixed to
2323
display a user friendly message instead of a traceback.
2324
(Ian Clatworthy, #115601)
2325
2326
* Make sure to use ``O_BINARY`` when opening files to check their
2327
sha1sum. (Alexander Belchenko, John Arbash Meinel, #153493)
2328
2329
* Fix a problem with Win32 handling of the executable bit.
2330
(John Arbash Meinel, #149113)
2331
2332
* ``bzr+ssh://`` and ``sftp://`` URLs that do not specify ports explicitly
2333
no longer assume that means port 22. This allows people using OpenSSH to
2334
override the default port in their ``~/.ssh/config`` if they wish. This
2335
fixes a bug introduced in bzr 0.91. (Andrew Bennetts, #146715)
2336
2337
* Commands reporting exceptions can now be profiled and still have their
2338
data correctly dumped to a file. For example, a ``bzr commit`` with
2339
no changes still reports the operation as pointless but doing so no
2340
longer throws away the profiling data if this command is run with
2341
``--lsprof-file callgrind.out.ci`` say. (Ian Clatworthy)
2342
2343
* Fallback to ftp when paramiko is not installed and sftp can't be used for
2344
``tests/commands`` so that the test suite is still usable without
2345
paramiko.
2346
(Vincent Ladeuil, #59150)
2347
2348
* Fix commit ordering in corner case. (Aaron Bentley, #94975)
2349
2350
* Fix long standing bug in partial commit when there are renames
2351
left in tree. (Robert Collins, #140419)
2352
2353
* Fix selftest semi-random noise during http related tests.
2354
(Vincent Ladeuil, #140614)
2355
2356
* Fix typo in ftp.py making the reconnection fail on temporary errors.
2357
(Vincent Ladeuil, #154259)
2358
2359
* Fix failing test by comparing real paths to cover the case where the TMPDIR
2360
contains a symbolic link.
2361
(Vincent Ladeuil, #141382).
2362
2363
* Fix log against smart server branches that don't support tags.
2364
(James Westby, #140615)
2365
2366
* Fix pycurl http implementation by defining error codes from
2367
pycurl instead of relying on an old curl definition.
2368
(Vincent Ladeuil, #147530)
2369
2370
* Fix 'unprintable error' message when displaying BzrCheckError and
2371
some other exceptions on Python 2.5.
2372
(Martin Pool, #144633)
2373
2374
* Fix ``Inventory.copy()`` and add test for it. (Jelmer Vernooij)
2375
2376
* Handles default value for ListOption in cmd_commit.
2377
(Vincent Ladeuil, #140432)
2378
2379
* HttpServer and FtpServer need to be closed properly or a listening socket
2380
will remain opened.
2381
(Vincent Ladeuil, #140055)
2382
2383
* Monitor the .bzr directory created in the top level test
2384
directory to detect leaking tests.
2385
(Vincent Ladeuil, #147986)
2386
2387
* The basename, not the full path, is now used when checking whether
2388
the profiling dump file begins with ``callgrind.out`` or not. This
2389
fixes a bug reported by Aaron Bentley on IRC. (Ian Clatworthy)
2390
2391
* Trivial fix for invoking command ``reconfigure`` without arguments.
2392
(Rob Weir, #141629)
2393
2394
* ``WorkingTree.rename_one`` will now raise an error if normalisation of the
2395
new path causes bzr to be unable to access the file. (Robert Collins)
2396
2397
* Correctly detect a NoSuchFile when using a filezilla server. (Gary van der
2398
Merwe)
2399
2400
API BREAKS:
2401
2402
* ``bzrlib.index.GraphIndex`` now requires a size parameter to the
2403
constructor, for enabling bisection searches. (Robert Collins)
2404
2405
* ``CommitBuilder.record_entry_contents`` now requires the root entry of a
2406
tree be supplied to it, previously failing to do so would trigger a
2407
deprecation warning. (Robert Collins)
2408
2409
* ``KnitVersionedFile.add*`` will no longer cache added records even when
2410
enable_cache() has been called - the caching feature is now exclusively for
2411
reading existing data. (Robert Collins)
2412
2413
* ``ReadOnlyLockError`` is deprecated; ``LockFailed`` is usually more
2414
appropriate. (Martin Pool)
2415
2416
* Removed ``bzrlib.transport.TransportLogger`` - please see the new
2417
``trace+`` transport instead. (Robert Collins)
2418
2419
* Removed previously deprecated varargs interface to ``TestCase.run_bzr`` and
2420
deprecated methods ``TestCase.capture`` and ``TestCase.run_bzr_captured``.
2421
(Martin Pool)
2422
2423
* Removed previous deprecated ``basis_knit`` parameter to the
2424
``KnitVersionedFile`` constructor. (Robert Collins)
2425
2426
* Special purpose method ``TestCase.run_bzr_decode`` is moved to the test_non_ascii
2427
class that needs it.
2428
(Martin Pool)
2429
2430
* The class ``bzrlib.repofmt.knitrepo.KnitRepository3`` has been folded into
2431
``KnitRepository`` by parameters to the constructor. (Robert Collins)
2432
2433
* The ``VersionedFile`` interface now allows content checks to be bypassed
2434
by supplying check_content=False. This saves nearly 30% of the minimum
2435
cost to store a version of a file. (Robert Collins)
2436
2437
* Tree's with bad state such as files with no length or sha will no longer
2438
be silently accepted by the repository XML serialiser. To serialise
2439
inventories without such data, pass working=True to write_inventory.
2440
(Robert Collins)
2441
2442
* ``VersionedFile.fix_parents`` has been removed as a harmful API.
2443
``VersionedFile.join`` will no longer accept different parents on either
2444
side of a join - it will either ignore them, or error, depending on the
2445
implementation. See notes when upgrading for more information.
2446
(Robert Collins)
2447
2448
INTERNALS:
2449
2450
* ``bzrlib.transport.Transport.put_file`` now returns the number of bytes
2451
put by the method call, to allow avoiding stat-after-write or
2452
housekeeping in callers. (Robert Collins)
2453
2454
* ``bzrlib.xml_serializer.Serializer`` is now responsible for checking that
2455
mandatory attributes are present on serialisation and deserialisation.
2456
This fixes some holes in API usage and allows better separation between
2457
physical storage and object serialisation. (Robert Collins)
2458
2459
* New class ``bzrlib.errors.InternalBzrError`` which is just a convenient
2460
shorthand for deriving from BzrError and setting internal_error = True.
2461
(Robert Collins)
2462
2463
* New method ``bzrlib.mutabletree.update_to_one_parent_via_delta`` for
2464
moving the state of a parent tree to a new version via a delta rather than
2465
a complete replacement tree. (Robert Collins)
2466
2467
* New method ``bzrlib.osutils.minimum_path_selection`` useful for removing
2468
duplication from user input, when a user mentions both a path and an item
2469
contained within that path. (Robert Collins)
2470
2471
* New method ``bzrlib.repository.Repository.is_write_locked`` useful for
2472
determining if a repository is write locked. (Robert Collins)
2473
2474
* New method on ``bzrlib.tree.Tree`` ``path_content_summary`` provides a
2475
tuple containing the key information about a path for commit processing
2476
to complete. (Robert Collins)
2477
2478
* New method on xml serialisers, write_inventory_to_lines, which matches the
2479
API used by knits for adding content. (Robert Collins)
2480
2481
* New module ``bzrlib.bisect_multi`` with generic multiple-bisection-at-once
2482
logic, currently only available for byte-based lookup
2483
(``bisect_multi_bytes``). (Robert Collins)
2484
2485
* New helper ``bzrlib.tuned_gzip.bytes_to_gzip`` which takes a byte string
2486
and returns a gzipped version of the same. This is used to avoid a bunch
2487
of api friction during adding of knit hunks. (Robert Collins)
2488
2489
* New parameter on ``bzrlib.transport.Transport.readv``
2490
``adjust_for_latency`` which changes readv from returning strictly the
2491
requested data to inserted return larger ranges and in forward read order
2492
to reduce the effect of network latency. (Robert Collins)
2493
2494
* New parameter yield_parents on ``Inventory.iter_entries_by_dir`` which
2495
causes the parents of a selected id to be returned recursively, so all the
2496
paths from the root down to each element of selected_file_ids are
2497
returned. (Robert Collins)
2498
2499
* Knit joining has been enhanced to support plain to annotated conversion
2500
and annotated to plain conversion. (Ian Clatworthy)
2501
2502
* The CommitBuilder method ``record_entry_contents`` now returns summary
2503
information about the effect of the commit on the repository. This tuple
2504
contains an inventory delta item if the entry changed from the basis, and a
2505
boolean indicating whether a new file graph node was recorded.
2506
(Robert Collins)
2507
2508
* The python path used in the Makefile can now be overridden.
2509
(Andrew Bennetts, Ian Clatworthy)
2510
2511
TESTING:
2512
2513
* New transport implementation ``trace+`` which is useful for testing,
2514
logging activity taken to its _activity attribute. (Robert Collins)
2515
2516
* When running bzr commands within the test suite, internal exceptions are
2517
not caught and reported in the usual way, but rather allowed to propagate
2518
up and be visible to the test suite. A new API ``run_bzr_catch_user_errors``
2519
makes this behavior available to other users.
2520
(Martin Pool)
2521
2522
* New method ``TestCase.call_catch_warnings`` for testing methods that
2523
raises a Python warning. (Martin Pool)
2524
2525
2526
bzr 0.91 2007-09-26
2527
-------------------
2528
2529
BUG FIXES:
2530
2531
* Print a warning instead of aborting the ``python setup.py install``
2532
process if building of a C extension is not possible.
2533
(Lukáš Lalinský, Alexander Belchenko)
2534
2535
* Fix commit ordering in corner case (Aaron Bentley, #94975)
2536
2537
* Fix ''bzr info bzr://host/'' and other operations on ''bzr://' URLs with
2538
an implicit port. We were incorrectly raising PathNotChild due to
2539
inconsistent treatment of the ''_port'' attribute on the Transport object.
2540
(Andrew Bennetts, #133965)
2541
2542
* Make RemoteRepository.sprout cope gracefully with servers that don't
2543
support the ``Repository.tarball`` request.
2544
(Andrew Bennetts)
2545
2546
2547
bzr 0.91rc2 2007-09-11
2548
----------------------
2549
2550
* Replaced incorrect tarball for previous release; a debug statement was left
2551
in bzrlib/remote.py.
2552
2553
2554
bzr 0.91rc1 2007-09-11
2555
----------------------
2556
2557
CHANGES:
2558
2559
* The default branch and repository format has changed to
2560
``dirstate-tags``, so tag commands are active by default.
2561
This format is compatible with Bazaar 0.15 and later.
2562
This incidentally fixes bug #126141.
2563
(Martin Pool)
2564
2565
* ``--quiet`` or ``-q`` is no longer a global option. If present, it
2566
must now appear after the command name. Scripts doing things like
2567
``bzr -q missing`` need to be rewritten as ``bzr missing -q``.
2568
(Ian Clatworthy)
2569
2570
FEATURES:
2571
2572
* New option ``--author`` in ``bzr commit`` to specify the author of the
2573
change, if it's different from the committer. ``bzr log`` and
2574
``bzr annotate`` display the author instead of the committer.
2575
(Lukáš Lalinský)
2576
2577
* In addition to global options and command specific options, a set of
2578
standard options are now supported. Standard options are legal for
2579
all commands. The initial set of standard options are:
2580
2581
* ``--help`` or ``-h`` - display help message
2582
* ``--verbose`` or ``-v`` - display additional information
2583
* ``--quiet`` or ``-q`` - only output warnings and errors.
2584
2585
Unlike global options, standard options can be used in aliases and
2586
may have command-specific help. (Ian Clatworthy)
2587
2588
* Verbosity level processing has now been unified. If ``--verbose``
2589
or ``-v`` is specified on the command line multiple times, the
2590
verbosity level is made positive the first time then increased.
2591
If ``--quiet`` or ``-q`` is specified on the command line
2592
multiple times, the verbosity level is made negative the first
2593
time then decreased. To get the default verbosity level of zero,
2594
either specify none of the above , ``--no-verbose`` or ``--no-quiet``.
2595
Note that most commands currently ignore the magnitude of the
2596
verbosity level but do respect *quiet vs normal vs verbose* when
2597
generating output. (Ian Clatworthy)
2598
2599
* ``Branch.hooks`` now supports ``pre_commit`` hook. The hook's signature
2600
is documented in BranchHooks constructor. (Nam T. Nguyen, #102747)
2601
2602
* New ``Repository.stream_knit_data_for_revisions`` request added to the
2603
network protocol for greatly reduced roundtrips when retrieving a set of
2604
revisions. (Andrew Bennetts)
2605
2606
BUG FIXES:
2607
2608
* ``bzr plugins`` now lists the version number for each plugin in square
2609
brackets after the path. (Robert Collins, #125421)
2610
2611
* Pushing, pulling and branching branches with subtree references was not
2612
copying the subtree weave, preventing the file graph from being accessed
2613
and causing errors in commits in clones. (Robert Collins)
2614
2615
* Suppress warning "integer argument expected, got float" from Paramiko,
2616
which sometimes caused false test failures. (Martin Pool)
2617
2618
* Fix bug in bundle 4 that could cause attempts to write data to wrong
2619
versionedfile. (Aaron Bentley)
2620
2621
* Diffs generated using "diff -p" no longer break the patch parser.
2622
(Aaron Bentley)
2623
2624
* get_transport treats an empty possible_transports list the same as a non-
2625
empty one. (Aaron Bentley)
2626
2627
* patch verification for merge directives is reactivated, and works with
2628
CRLF and CR files. (Aaron Bentley)
2629
2630
* Accept ..\ as a path in revision specifiers. This fixes for example
2631
"-r branch:..\other-branch" on Windows. (Lukáš Lalinský)
2632
2633
* ``BZR_PLUGIN_PATH`` may now contain trailing slashes.
2634
(Blake Winton, #129299)
2635
2636
* man page no longer lists hidden options (#131667, Aaron Bentley)
2637
2638
* ``uncommit --help`` now explains the -r option adequately. (Daniel
2639
Watkins, #106726)
2640
2641
* Error messages are now better formatted with parameters (such as
2642
filenames) quoted when necessary. This avoids confusion when directory
2643
names ending in a '.' at the end of messages were confused with a
2644
full stop that may or not have been there. (Daniel Watkins, #129791)
2645
2646
* Fix ``status FILE -r X..Y``. (Lukáš Lalinský)
2647
2648
* If a particular command is an alias, ``help`` will show the alias
2649
instead of claiming there is no help for said alias. (Daniel Watkins,
2650
#133548)
2651
2652
* TreeTransform-based operations, like pull, merge, revert, and branch,
2653
now roll back if they encounter an error. (Aaron Bentley, #67699)
2654
2655
* ``bzr commit`` now exits cleanly if a character unsupported by the
2656
current encoding is used in the commit message. (Daniel Watkins,
2657
#116143)
2658
2659
* bzr send uses default values for ranges when only half of an elipsis
2660
is specified ("-r..5" or "-r5.."). (#61685, Aaron Bentley)
2661
2662
* Avoid trouble when Windows ssh calls itself 'plink' but no plink
2663
binary is present. (Martin Albisetti, #107155)
2664
2665
* ``bzr remove`` should remove clean subtrees. Now it will remove (without
2666
needing ``--force``) subtrees that contain no files with text changes or
2667
modified files. With ``--force`` it removes the subtree regardless of
2668
text changes or unknown files. Directories with renames in or out (but
2669
not changed otherwise) will now be removed without needing ``--force``.
2670
Unknown ignored files will be deleted without needing ``--force``.
2671
(Marius Kruger, #111665)
2672
2673
* When two plugins conflict, the source of both the losing and now the
2674
winning definition is shown. (Konstantin Mikhaylov, #5454)
2675
2676
* When committing to a branch, the location being committed to is
2677
displayed. (Daniel Watkins, #52479)
2678
2679
* ``bzr --version`` takes care about encoding of stdout, especially
2680
when output is redirected. (Alexander Belchenko, #131100)
2681
2682
* Prompt for an ftp password if none is provided.
2683
(Vincent Ladeuil, #137044)
2684
2685
* Reuse bound branch associated transport to avoid multiple
2686
connections.
2687
(Vincent Ladeuil, #128076, #131396)
2688
2689
* Overwrite conflicting tags by ``push`` and ``pull`` if the
2690
``--overwrite`` option is specified. (Lukáš Lalinský, #93947)
2691
2692
* In checkouts, tags are copied into the master branch when created,
2693
changed or deleted, and are copied into the checkout when it is
2694
updated. (Martin Pool, #93856, #93860)
2695
2696
* Print a warning instead of aborting the ``python setup.py install``
2697
process if building of a C extension is not possible.
2698
(Lukáš Lalinský, Alexander Belchenko)
2699
2700
IMPROVEMENTS:
2701
2702
* Add the option "--show-diff" to the commit command in order to display
2703
the diff during the commit log creation. (Goffredo Baroncelli)
2704
2705
* ``pull`` and ``merge`` are much faster at installing bundle format 4.
2706
(Aaron Bentley)
2707
2708
* ``pull -v`` no longer includes deltas, making it much faster.
2709
(Aaron Bentley)
2710
2711
* ``send`` now sends the directive as an attachment by default.
2712
(Aaron Bentley, Lukáš Lalinský, Alexander Belchenko)
2713
2714
* Documentation updates (Martin Albisetti)
2715
2716
* Help on debug flags is now included in ``help global-options``.
2717
(Daniel Watkins, #124853)
2718
2719
* Parameters passed on the command line are checked to ensure they are
2720
supported by the encoding in use. (Daniel Watkins)
2721
2722
* The compression used within the bzr repository has changed from zlib
2723
level 9 to the zlib default level. This improves commit performance with
2724
only a small increase in space used (and in some cases a reduction in
2725
space). (Robert Collins)
2726
2727
* Initial commit no longer SHAs files twice and now reuses the path
2728
rather than looking it up again, making it faster.
2729
(Ian Clatworthy)
2730
2731
* New option ``-c``/``--change`` for ``diff`` and ``status`` to show
2732
changes in one revision. (Lukáš Lalinský)
2733
2734
* If versioned files match a given ignore pattern, a warning is now
2735
given. (Daniel Watkins, #48623)
2736
2737
* ``bzr status`` now has -S as a short name for --short and -V as a
2738
short name for --versioned. These have been added to assist users
2739
migrating from Subversion: ``bzr status -SV`` is now like
2740
``svn status -q``. (Daniel Watkins, #115990)
2741
2742
* Added C implementation of ``PatienceSequenceMatcher``, which is about
2743
10x faster than the Python version. This speeds up commands that
2744
need file diffing, such as ``bzr commit`` or ``bzr diff``.
2745
(Lukáš Lalinský)
2746
2747
* HACKING has been extended with a large section on core developer tasks.
2748
(Ian Clatworthy)
2749
2750
* Add ``branches`` and ``standalone-trees`` as online help topics and
2751
include them as Concepts within the User Reference.
2752
(Paul Moore, Ian Clatworthy)
2753
2754
* ``check`` can detect versionedfile parent references that are
2755
inconsistent with revision and inventory info, and ``reconcile`` can fix
2756
them. These faulty references were generated by 0.8-era releases,
2757
so repositories which were manipulated by old bzrs should be
2758
checked, and possibly reconciled ASAP. (Aaron Bentley, Andrew Bennetts)
2759
2760
API BREAKS:
2761
2762
* ``Branch.append_revision`` is removed altogether; please use
2763
``Branch.set_last_revision_info`` instead. (Martin Pool)
2764
2765
* CommitBuilder now advertises itself as requiring the root entry to be
2766
supplied. This only affects foreign repository implementations which reuse
2767
CommitBuilder directly and have changed record_entry_contents to require
2768
that the root not be supplied. This should be precisely zero plugins
2769
affected. (Robert Collins)
2770
2771
* The ``add_lines`` methods on ``VersionedFile`` implementations has changed
2772
its return value to include the sha1 and length of the inserted text. This
2773
allows the avoidance of double-sha1 calculations during commit.
2774
(Robert Collins)
2775
2776
* ``Transport.should_cache`` has been removed. It was not called in the
2777
previous release. (Martin Pool)
2778
2779
TESTING:
2780
2781
* Tests may now raise TestNotApplicable to indicate they shouldn't be
2782
run in a particular scenario. (Martin Pool)
2783
2784
* New function multiply_tests_from_modules to give a simpler interface
2785
to test parameterization. (Martin Pool, Robert Collins)
2786
2787
* ``Transport.should_cache`` has been removed. It was not called in the
2788
previous release. (Martin Pool)
2789
2790
* NULL_REVISION is returned to indicate the null revision, not None.
2791
(Aaron Bentley)
2792
2793
* Use UTF-8 encoded StringIO for log tests to avoid failures on
2794
non-ASCII committer names. (Lukáš Lalinský)
2795
2796
INTERNALS:
2797
2798
* ``bzrlib.plugin.all_plugins`` has been deprecated in favour of
2799
``bzrlib.plugin.plugins()`` which returns PlugIn objects that provide
2800
useful functionality for determining the path of a plugin, its tests, and
2801
its version information. (Robert Collins)
2802
2803
* Add the option user_encoding to the function 'show_diff_trees()'
2804
in order to move the user encoding at the UI level. (Goffredo Baroncelli)
2805
2806
* Add the function make_commit_message_template_encoded() and the function
2807
edit_commit_message_encoded() which handle encoded strings.
2808
This is done in order to mix the commit messages (which is a unicode
2809
string), and the diff which is a raw string. (Goffredo Baroncelli)
2810
2811
* CommitBuilder now defaults to using add_lines_with_ghosts, reducing
2812
overhead on non-weave repositories which don't require all parents to be
2813
present. (Robert Collins)
2814
2815
* Deprecated method ``find_previous_heads`` on
2816
``bzrlib.inventory.InventoryEntry``. This has been superseded by the use
2817
of ``parent_candidates`` and a separate heads check via the repository
2818
API. (Robert Collins)
2819
2820
* New trace function ``mutter_callsite`` will print out a subset of the
2821
stack to the log, which can be useful for gathering debug details.
2822
(Robert Collins)
2823
2824
* ``bzrlib.pack.ContainerWriter`` now tracks how many records have been
2825
added via a public attribute records_written. (Robert Collins)
2826
2827
* New method ``bzrlib.transport.Transport.get_recommended_page_size``.
2828
This provides a hint to users of transports as to the reasonable
2829
minimum data to read. In principle this can take latency and
2830
bandwidth into account on a per-connection basis, but for now it
2831
just has hard coded values based on the url. (e.g. http:// has a large
2832
page size, file:// has a small one.) (Robert Collins)
2833
2834
* New method on ``bzrlib.transport.Transport`` ``open_write_stream`` allows
2835
incremental addition of data to a file without requiring that all the
2836
data be buffered in memory. (Robert Collins)
2837
2838
* New methods on ``bzrlib.knit.KnitVersionedFile``:
2839
``get_data_stream(versions)``, ``insert_data_stream(stream)`` and
2840
``get_format_signature()``. These provide some infrastructure for
2841
efficiently streaming the knit data for a set of versions over the smart
2842
protocol.
2843
2844
* Knits with no annotation cache still produce correct annotations.
2845
(Aaron Bentley)
2846
2847
* Three new methods have been added to ``bzrlib.trace``:
2848
``set_verbosity_level``, ``get_verbosity_level`` and ``is_verbose``.
2849
``set_verbosity_level`` expects a numeric value: negative for quiet,
2850
zero for normal, positive for verbose. The size of the number can be
2851
used to determine just how quiet or verbose the application should be.
2852
The existing ``be_quiet`` and ``is_quiet`` routines have been
2853
integrated into this new scheme. (Ian Clatworthy)
2854
2855
* Options can now be delcared with a ``custom_callback`` parameter. If
2856
set, this routine is called after the option is processed. This feature
2857
is now used by the standard options ``verbose`` and ``quiet`` so that
2858
setting one implicitly resets the other. (Ian Clatworthy)
2859
2860
* Rather than declaring a new option from scratch in order to provide
2861
custom help, a centrally registered option can be decorated using the
2862
new ``bzrlib.Option.custom_help`` routine. In particular, this routine
2863
is useful when declaring better help for the ``verbose`` and ``quiet``
2864
standard options as the base definition of these is now more complex
2865
than before thanks to their use of a custom callback. (Ian Clatworthy)
2866
2867
* Tree._iter_changes(specific_file=[]) now iterates through no files,
2868
instead of iterating through all files. None is used to iterate through
2869
all files. (Aaron Bentley)
2870
2871
* WorkingTree.revert() now accepts None to revert all files. The use of
2872
[] to revert all files is deprecated. (Aaron Bentley)

2876
-------------------
2877
2878
IMPROVEMENTS:
2879
2880
* Documentation is now organized into multiple directories with a level
2881
added for different languages or locales. Added the Mini Tutorial
2882
and Quick Start Summary (en) documents from the Wiki, improving the
2883
content and readability of the former. Formatted NEWS as Release Notes
2884
complete with a Table of Conents, one heading per release. Moved the
2885
Developer Guide into the main document catalog and provided a link
2886
from the developer document catalog back to the main one.
2887
(Ian Clatworthy, Sabin Iacob, Alexander Belchenko)
2888
2889
2890
API CHANGES:
2891
2892
* The static convenience method ``BzrDir.create_repository``
2893
is deprecated. Callers should instead create a ``BzrDir`` instance
2894
and call ``create_repository`` on that. (Martin Pool)
2895
2896
2897
bzr 0.90rc1 2007-08-14
2898
----------------------
2899
2900
BUGFIXES:
2901
2902
* ``bzr init`` should connect to the remote location one time only. We
2903
have been connecting several times because we forget to pass around the
2904
Transport object. This modifies ``BzrDir.create_branch_convenience``,
2905
so that we can give it the Transport we already have.
2906
(John Arbash Meinel, Vincent Ladeuil, #111702)
2907
2908
* Get rid of sftp connection cache (get rid of the FTP one too).
2909
(Vincent Ladeuil, #43731)
2910
2911
* bzr branch {local|remote} remote don't try to create a working tree
2912
anymore.
2913
(Vincent Ladeuil, #112173)
2914
2915
* All identified multiple connections for a single bzr command have been
2916
fixed. See bzrlib/tests/commands directory.
2917
(Vincent Ladeuil)
2918
2919
* ``bzr rm`` now does not insist on ``--force`` to delete files that
2920
have been renamed but not otherwise modified. (Marius Kruger,
2921
#111664)
2922
2923
* ``bzr selftest --bench`` no longer emits deprecation warnings
2924
(Lukáš Lalinský)
2925
2926
* ``bzr status`` now honours FILE parameters for conflict lists
2927
(Aaron Bentley, #127606)
2928
2929
* ``bzr checkout`` now honours -r when reconstituting a working tree.
2930
It also honours -r 0. (Aaron Bentley, #127708)
2931
2932
* ``bzr add *`` no more fails on Windows if working tree contains
2933
non-ascii file names. (Kuno Meyer, #127361)
2934
2935
* allow ``easy_install bzr`` runs without fatal errors.
2936
(Alexander Belchenko, #125521)
2937
2938
* Graph._filter_candidate_lca does not raise KeyError if a candidate
2939
is eliminated just before it would normally be examined. (Aaron Bentley)
2940
2941
* SMTP connection failures produce a nice message, not a traceback.
2942
(Aaron Bentley)
2943
2944
IMPROVEMENTS:
2945
2946
* Don't show "dots" progress indicators when run non-interactively, such
2947
as from cron. (Martin Pool)
2948
2949
* ``info`` now formats locations more nicely and lists "submit" and
2950
"public" branches (Aaron Bentley)
2951
2952
* New ``pack`` command that will trigger database compression within
2953
the repository (Robert Collins)
2954
2955
* Implement ``_KnitIndex._load_data`` in a pyrex extension. The pyrex
2956
version is approximately 2-3x faster at parsing a ``.kndx`` file.
2957
Which yields a measurable improvement for commands which have to
2958
read from the repository, such as a 1s => 0.75s improvement in
2959
``bzr diff`` when there are changes to be shown. (John Arbash Meinel)
2960
2961
* Merge is now faster. Depending on the scenario, it can be more than 2x
2962
faster. (Aaron Bentley)
2963
2964
* Give a clearer warning, and allow ``python setup.py install`` to
2965
succeed even if pyrex is not available.
2966
(John Arbash Meinel)
2967
2968
* ``DirState._read_dirblocks`` now has an optional Pyrex
2969
implementation. This improves the speed of any command that has to
2970
read the entire DirState. (``diff``, ``status``, etc, improve by
2971
about 10%).
2972
``bisect_dirblocks`` has also been improved, which helps all
2973
``_get_entry`` type calls (whenever we are searching for a
2974
particular entry in the in-memory DirState).
2975
(John Arbash Meinel)
2976
2977
* ``bzr pull`` and ``bzr push`` no longer do a complete walk of the
2978
branch revision history for ui display unless -v is supplied.
2979
(Robert Collins)
2980
2981
* ``bzr log -rA..B`` output shifted to the left margin if the log only
2982
contains merge revisions. (Kent Gibson)
2983
2984
* The ``plugins`` command is now public with improved help.
2985
(Ian Clatworthy)
2986
2987
* New bundle and merge directive formats are faster to generate, and
2988
2989
* Annotate merge now works when there are local changes. (Aaron Bentley)
2990
2991
* Commit now only shows the progress in terms of directories instead of
2992
entries. (Ian Clatworthy)
2993
2994
* Fix ``KnitRepository.get_revision_graph`` to not request the graph 2
2995
times. This makes ``get_revision_graph`` 2x faster. (John Arbash
2996
Meinel)
2997
2998
* Fix ``VersionedFile.get_graph()`` to avoid using
2999
``set.difference_update(other)``, which has bad scaling when
3000
``other`` is large. This improves ``VF.get_graph([version_id])`` for
3001
a 12.5k graph from 2.9s down to 200ms. (John Arbash Meinel)
3002
3003
* The ``--lsprof-file`` option now generates output for KCacheGrind if
3004
the file starts with ``callgrind.out``. This matches the default file
3005
filtering done by KCacheGrind's Open Dialog. (Ian Clatworthy)
3006
3007
* Fix ``bzr update`` to avoid an unnecessary
3008
``branch.get_master_branch`` call, which avoids 1 extra connection
3009
to the remote server. (Partial fix for #128076, John Arbash Meinel)
3010
3011
* Log errors from the smart server in the trace file, to make debugging
3012
test failures (and live failures!) easier. (Andrew Bennetts)
3013
3014
* The HTML version of the man page has been superceded by a more
3015
comprehensive manual called the Bazaar User Reference. This manual
3016
is completed generated from the online help topics. As part of this
3017
change, limited reStructuredText is now explicitly supported in help
3018
topics and command help with 'unnatural' markup being removed prior
3019
to display by the online help or inclusion in the man page.
3020
(Ian Clatworthy)
3021
3022
* HTML documentation now use files extension ``*.html``
3023
(Alexander Belchenko)
3024
3025
* The cache of ignore definitions is now cleared in WorkingTree.unlock()
3026
so that changes to .bzrignore aren't missed. (#129694, Daniel Watkins)
3027
3028
* ``bzr selftest --strict`` fails if there are any missing features or
3029
expected test failures. (Daniel Watkins, #111914)
3030
3031
* Link to registration survey added to README. (Ian Clatworthy)
3032
3033
* Windows standalone installer show link to registration survey
3034
when installation finished. (Alexander Belchenko)
3035
3036
LIBRARY API BREAKS:
3037
3038
* Deprecated dictionary ``bzrlib.option.SHORT_OPTIONS`` removed.
3039
Options are now required to provide a help string and it must
3040
comply with the style guide by being one or more sentences with an
3041
initial capital and final period. (Martin Pool)
3042
3043
* KnitIndex.get_parents now returns tuples. (Robert Collins)
3044
3045
* Ancient unused ``Repository.text_store`` attribute has been removed.
3046
(Robert Collins)
3047
3048
* The ``bzrlib.pack`` interface has changed to use tuples of bytestrings
3049
rather than just bytestrings, making it easier to represent multiple
3050
element names. As this interface was not used by any internal facilities
3051
since it was introduced in 0.18 no API compatibility is being preserved.
3052
The serialised form of these packs is identical with 0.18 when a single
3053
element tuple is in use. (Robert Collins)
3054
3055
INTERNALS:
3056
3057
* merge now uses ``iter_changes`` to calculate changes, which makes room for
3058
future performance increases. It is also more consistent with other
3059
operations that perform comparisons, and reduces reliance on
3060
Tree.inventory. (Aaron Bentley)
3061
3062
* Refactoring of transport classes connected to a remote server.
3063
ConnectedTransport is a new class that serves as a basis for all
3064
transports needing to connect to a remote server. transport.split_url
3065
have been deprecated, use the static method on the object instead. URL
3066
tests have been refactored too.
3067
(Vincent Ladeuil)
3068
3069
* Better connection sharing for ConnectedTransport objects.
3070
transport.get_transport() now accepts a 'possible_transports' parameter.
3071
If a newly requested transport can share a connection with one of the
3072
list, it will.
3073
(Vincent Ladeuil)
3074
3075
* Most functions now accept ``bzrlib.revision.NULL_REVISION`` to indicate
3076
the null revision, and consider using ``None`` for this purpose
3077
deprecated. (Aaron Bentley)
3078
3079
* New ``index`` module with abstract index functionality. This will be
3080
used during the planned changes in the repository layer. Currently the
3081
index layer provides a graph aware immutable index, a builder for the
3082
same index type to allow creating them, and finally a composer for
3083
such indices to allow the use of many indices in a single query. The
3084
index performance is not optimised, however the API is stable to allow
3085
development on top of the index. (Robert Collins)
3086
3087
* ``bzrlib.dirstate.cmp_by_dirs`` can be used to compare two paths by
3088
their directory sections. This is equivalent to comparing
3089
``path.split('/')``, only without having to split the paths.
3090
This has a Pyrex implementation available.
3091
(John Arbash Meinel)
3092
3093
* New transport decorator 'unlistable+' which disables the list_dir
3094
functionality for testing.
3095
3096
* Deprecated ``change_entry`` in transform.py. (Ian Clatworthy)
3097
3098
* RevisionTree.get_weave is now deprecated. Tree.plan_merge is now used
3099
for performing annotate-merge. (Aaron Bentley)
3100
3101
* New EmailMessage class to create email messages. (Adeodato Simó)
3102
3103
* Unused functions on the private interface KnitIndex have been removed.
3104
(Robert Collins)
3105
3106
* New ``knit.KnitGraphIndex`` which provides a ``KnitIndex`` layered on top
3107
of a ``index.GraphIndex``. (Robert Collins)
3108
3109
* New ``knit.KnitVersionedFile.iter_parents`` method that allows querying
3110
the parents of many knit nodes at once, reducing round trips to the
3111
underlying index. (Robert Collins)
3112
3113
* Graph now has an is_ancestor method, various bits use it.
3114
(Aaron Bentley)
3115
3116
* The ``-Dhpss`` flag now includes timing information. As well as
3117
logging when a new connection is opened. (John Arbash Meinel)
3118
3119
* ``bzrlib.pack.ContainerWriter`` now returns an offset, length tuple to
3120
callers when inserting data, allowing generation of readv style access
3121
during pack creation, without needing a separate pass across the output
3122
pack to gather such details. (Robert Collins)
3123
3124
* ``bzrlib.pack.make_readv_reader`` allows readv based access to pack
3125
files that are stored on a transport. (Robert Collins)
3126
3127
* New ``Repository.has_same_location`` method that reports if two
3128
repository objects refer to the same repository (although with some risk
3129
of false negatives). (Andrew Bennetts)
3130
3131
* InterTree.compare now passes require_versioned on correctly.
3132
(Marius Kruger)
3133
3134
* New methods on Repository - ``start_write_group``,
3135
``commit_write_group``, ``abort_write_group`` and ``is_in_write_group`` -
3136
which provide a clean hook point for transactional Repositories - ones
3137
where all the data for a fetch or commit needs to be made atomically
3138
available in one step. This allows the write lock to remain while making
3139
a series of data insertions. (e.g. data conversion). (Robert Collins)
3140
3141
* In ``bzrlib.knit`` the internal interface has been altered to use
3142
3-tuples (index, pos, length) rather than two-tuples (pos, length) to
3143
describe where data in a knit is, allowing knits to be split into
3144
many files. (Robert Collins)
3145
3146
* ``bzrlib.knit._KnitData`` split into cache management and physical access
3147
with two access classes - ``_PackAccess`` and ``_KnitAccess`` defined.
3148
The former provides access into a .pack file, and the latter provides the
3149
current production repository form of .knit files. (Robert Collins)
3150
3151
TESTING:
3152
3153
* Remove selftest ``--clean-output``, ``--numbered-dirs`` and
3154
``--keep-output`` options, which are obsolete now that tests
3155
are done within directories in $TMPDIR. (Martin Pool)
3156
3157
* The SSH_AUTH_SOCK environment variable is now reset to avoid
3158
interaction with any running ssh agents. (Jelmer Vernooij, #125955)
3159
3160
* run_bzr_subprocess handles parameters the same way as run_bzr:
3161
either a string or a list of strings should be passed as the first
3162
parameter. Varargs-style parameters are deprecated. (Aaron Bentley)

BUGFIXES:
3177
3178
* Do not suppress pipe errors, etc. in non-display commands
3179
(Alexander Belchenko, #87178)
3180
3181
* Display a useful error message when the user requests to annotate
3182
a file that is not present in the specified revision.
3183
(James Westby, #122656)
3184
3185
* Commands that use status flags now have a reference to 'help
3186
status-flags'. (Daniel Watkins, #113436)
3187
3188
* Work around python-2.4.1 inhability to correctly parse the
3189
authentication header.
3190
(Vincent Ladeuil, #121889)
3191
3192
* Use exact encoding for merge directives. (Adeodato Simó, #120591)
3193
3194
* Fix tempfile permissions error in smart server tar bundling under
3195
Windows. (Martin _, #119330)
3196
3197
* Fix detection of directory entries in the inventory. (James Westby)
3198
3199
* Fix handling of http code 400: Bad Request When issuing too many ranges.
3200
(Vincent Ladeuil, #115209)
3201
3202
* Issue a CONNECT request when connecting to an https server
3203
via a proxy to enable SSL tunneling.
3204
(Vincent Ladeuil, #120678)
3205
3206
* Fix ``bzr log -r`` to support selecting merge revisions, both
3207
individually and as part of revision ranges.
3208
(Kent Gibson, #4663)
3209
3210
* Don't leave cruft behind when failing to acquire a lockdir.
3211
(Martin Pool, #109169)
3212
3213
* Don't use the '-f' strace option during tests.
3214
(Vincent Ladeuil, #102019).
3215
3216
* Warn when setting ``push_location`` to a value that will be masked by
3217
locations.conf. (Aaron Bentley, #122286)
3218
3219
* Fix commit ordering in corner case (Aaron Bentley, #94975)
3220
3221
* Make annotate behave in a non-ASCII world (Adeodato Simó).
3222
3223
IMPROVEMENTS:
3224
3225
* The --lsprof-file option now dumps a text rendering of the profiling
3226
information if the filename ends in ".txt". It will also convert the
3227
profiling information to a format suitable for KCacheGrind if the
3228
output filename ends in ".callgrind". Fixes to the lsprofcalltree
3229
conversion process by Jean Paul Calderone and Itamar were also merged.
3230
See http://ddaa.net/blog/python/lsprof-calltree. (Ian Clatworthy)
3231
3232
* ``info`` now defaults to non-verbose mode, displaying only paths and
3233
abbreviated format info. ``info -v`` displays all the information
3234
formerly displayed by ``info``. (Aaron Bentley, Adeodato Simó)
3235
3236
* ``bzr missing`` now has better option names ``--this`` and ``--other``.
3237
(Elliot Murphy)
3238
3239
* The internal ``weave-list`` command has become ``versionedfile-list``,
3240
and now lists knits as well as weaves. (Aaron Bentley)
3241
3242
* Automatic merge base selection uses a faster algorithm that chooses
3243
better bases in criss-cross merge situations (Aaron Bentley)
3244
3245
* Progress reporting in ``commit`` has been improved. The various logical
3246
stages are now reported on as follows, namely:
3247
3248
* Collecting changes [Entry x/y] - Stage n/m
3249
* Saving data locally - Stage n/m
3250
* Uploading data to master branch - Stage n/m
3251
* Updating the working tree - Stage n/m
3252
* Running post commit hooks - Stage n/m
3253
3254
If there is no master branch, the 3rd stage is omitted and the total
3255
number of stages is adjusted accordingly.
3256
3257
Each hook that is run after commit is listed with a name (as hooks
3258
can be slow it is useful feedback).
3259
(Ian Clatworthy, Robert Collins)
3260
3261
* Various operations that are now faster due to avoiding unnecessary
3262
topological sorts. (Aaron Bentley)
3263
3264
* Make merge directives robust against broken bundles. (Aaron Bentley)
3265
3266
* The lsprof filename note is emitted via trace.note(), not standard
3267
output. (Aaron Bentley)
3268
3269
* ``bzrlib`` now exports explicit API compatibility information to assist
3270
library users and plugins. See the ``bzrlib.api`` module for details.
3271
(Robert Collins)
3272
3273
* Remove unnecessary lock probes when acquiring a lockdir.
3274
(Martin Pool)
3275
3276
* ``bzr --version`` now shows the location of the bzr log file, which
3277
is especially useful on Windows. (Martin Pool)
3278
3279
* -D now supports hooks to get debug tracing of hooks (though its currently
3280
minimal in nature). (Robert Collins)
3281
3282
* Long log format reports deltas on merge revisions.
3283
(John Arbash Meinel, Kent Gibson)
3284
3285
* Make initial push over ftp more resilient. (John Arbash Meinel)
3286
3287
* Print a summary of changes for update just like pull does.
3288
(Daniel Watkins, #113990)
3289
3290
* Add a -Dhpss option to trace smart protocol requests and responses.
3291
(Andrew Bennetts)
3292
3293
LIBRARY API BREAKS:
3294
3295
* Testing cleanups -
3296
``bzrlib.repository.RepositoryTestProviderAdapter`` has been moved
3297
to ``bzrlib.tests.repository_implementations``;
3298
``bzrlib.repository.InterRepositoryTestProviderAdapter`` has been moved
3299
to ``bzrlib.tests.interrepository_implementations``;
3300
``bzrlib.transport.TransportTestProviderAdapter`` has moved to
3301
``bzrlib.tests.test_transport_implementations``.
3302
``bzrlib.branch.BranchTestProviderAdapter`` has moved to
3303
``bzrlib.tests.branch_implementations``.
3304
``bzrlib.bzrdir.BzrDirTestProviderAdapter`` has moved to
3305
``bzrlib.tests.bzrdir_implementations``.
3306
``bzrlib.versionedfile.InterVersionedFileTestProviderAdapter`` has moved
3307
to ``bzrlib.tests.interversionedfile_implementations``.
3308
``bzrlib.store.revision.RevisionStoreTestProviderAdapter`` has moved to
3309
``bzrlib.tests.revisionstore_implementations``.
3310
``bzrlib.workingtree.WorkingTreeTestProviderAdapter`` has moved to
3311
``bzrlib.tests.workingtree_implementations``.
3312
These changes are an API break in the testing infrastructure only.
3313
(Robert Collins)
3314
3315
* Relocate TestCaseWithRepository to be more central. (Robert Collins)
3316
3317
* ``bzrlib.add.smart_add_tree`` will no longer perform glob expansion on
3318
win32. Callers of the function should do this and use the new
3319
``MutableTree.smart_add`` method instead. (Robert Collins)
3320
3321
* ``bzrlib.add.glob_expand_for_win32`` is now
3322
``bzrlib.win32utils.glob_expand``. (Robert Collins)
3323
3324
* ``bzrlib.add.FastPath`` is now private and moved to
3325
``bzrlib.mutabletree._FastPath``. (Robert Collins, Martin Pool)
3326
3327
* ``LockDir.wait`` removed. (Martin Pool)
3328
3329
* The ``SmartServer`` hooks API has changed for the ``server_started`` and
3330
``server_stopped`` hooks. The first parameter is now an iterable of
3331
backing URLs rather than a single URL. This is to reflect that many
3332
URLs may map to the external URL of the server. E.g. the server interally
3333
may have a chrooted URL but also the local file:// URL will be at the
3334
same location. (Robert Collins)
3335
3336
INTERNALS:
3337
3338
* New SMTPConnection class to unify email handling. (Adeodato Simó)
3339
3340
* Fix documentation of BzrError. (Adeodato Simó)
3341
3342
* Make BzrBadParameter an internal error. (Adeodato Simó)
3343
3344
* Remove use of 'assert False' to raise an exception unconditionally.
3345
(Martin Pool)
3346
3347
* Give a cleaner error when failing to decode knit index entry.
3348
(Martin Pool)
3349
3350
* TreeConfig would mistakenly search the top level when asked for options
3351
from a section. It now respects the section argument and only
3352
searches the specified section. (James Westby)
3353
3354
* Improve ``make api-docs`` output. (John Arbash Meinel)
3355
3356
* Use os.lstat rather than os.stat for osutils.make_readonly and
3357
osutils.make_writeable. This makes the difftools plugin more
3358
robust when dangling symlinks are found. (Elliot Murphy)
3359
3360
* New ``-Dlock`` option to log (to ~/.bzr.log) information on when
3361
lockdirs are taken or released. (Martin Pool)
3362
3363
* ``bzrlib`` Hooks are now nameable using ``Hooks.name_hook``. This
3364
allows a nicer UI when hooks are running as the current hook can
3365
be displayed. (Robert Collins)
3366
3367
* ``Transport.get`` has had its interface made more clear for ease of use.
3368
Retrieval of a directory must now fail with either 'PathError' at open
3369
time, or raise 'ReadError' on a read. (Robert Collins)
3370
3371
* New method ``_maybe_expand_globs`` on the ``Command`` class for
3372
dealing with unexpanded glob lists - e.g. on the win32 platform. This
3373
was moved from ``bzrlib.add._prepare_file_list``. (Robert Collins)
3374
3375
* ``bzrlib.add.smart_add`` and ``bzrlib.add.smart_add_tree`` are now
3376
deprecated in favour of ``MutableTree.smart_add``. (Robert Collins,
3377
Martin Pool)
3378
3379
* New method ``external_url`` on Transport for obtaining the url to
3380
hand to external processes. (Robert Collins)
3381
3382
* Teach windows installers to build pyrex/C extensions.
3383
(Alexander Belchenko)
3384
3385
TESTING:
3386
3387
* Removed the ``--keep-output`` option from selftest and clean up test
3388
directories as they're used. This reduces the IO load from
3389
running the test suite and cuts the time by about half.
3390
(Andrew Bennetts, Martin Pool)
3391
3392
* Add scenarios as a public attribute on the TestAdapter classes to allow
3393
modification of the generated scenarios before adaption and easier
3394
testing. (Robert Collins)
3395
3396
* New testing support class ``TestScenarioApplier`` which multiplies
3397
out a single teste by a list of supplied scenarios. (RobertCollins)
3398
3399
* Setting ``repository_to_test_repository`` on a repository_implementations
3400
test will cause it to be called during repository creation, allowing the
3401
testing of repository classes which are not based around the Format
3402
concept. For example a repository adapter can be tested in this manner,
3403
by altering the repository scenarios to include a scenario that sets this
3404
attribute during the test parameterisation in
3405
``bzrlib.tests.repository.repository_implementations``. (Robert Collins)
3406
3407
* Clean up many of the APIs for blackbox testing of Bazaar. The standard
3408
interface is now self.run_bzr. The command to run can be passed as
3409
either a list of parameters, a string containing the command line, or
3410
(deprecated) varargs parameters. (Martin Pool)
3411
3412
* The base TestCase now isolates tests from -D parameters by clearing
3413
``debug.debug_flags`` and restores it afterwards. (Robert Collins)
3414
3415
* Add a relpath parameter to get_transport methods in test framework to
3416
avoid useless cloning.

3435
NOTES WHEN UPGRADING:
3436
3437
* The kind() and is_executable() APIs on the WorkingTree interface no
3438
longer implicitly (read) locks and unlocks the tree. This *might*
3439
impact some plug-ins and tools using this part of the API. If you find
3440
an issue that may be caused by this change, please let us know,
3441
particularly the plug-in/tool maintainer. If encountered, the API
3442
fix is to surround kind() and is_executable() calls with lock_read()
3443
and unlock() like so::
3444
3445
work_tree.lock_read()
3446
try:
3447
kind = work_tree.kind(...)
3448
finally:
3449
work_tree.unlock()
3450
3451
INTERNALS:
3452
* Rework of LogFormatter API to provide beginning/end of log hooks and to
3453
encapsulate the details of the revision to be logged in a LogRevision
3454
object.
3455
In long log formats, merge revision ids are only shown when --show-ids
3456
is specified, and are labelled "revision-id:", as per mainline
3457
revisions, instead of "merged:". (Kent Gibson)
3458
3459
* New ``BranchBuilder`` API which allows the construction of particular
3460
histories quickly. Useful for testing and potentially other applications
3461
too. (Robert Collins)
3462
3463
IMPROVEMENTS:
3464
3465
* There are two new help topics, working-trees and repositories that
3466
attempt to explain these concepts. (James Westby, John Arbash Meinel,
3467
Aaron Bentley)
3468
3469
* Added ``bzr log --limit`` to report a limited number of revisions.
3470
(Kent Gibson, #3659)
3471
3472
* Revert does not try to preserve file contents that were originally
3473
produced by reverting to a historical revision. (Aaron Bentley)
3474
3475
* ``bzr log --short`` now includes ``[merge]`` for revisions which
3476
have more than one parent. This is a small improvement to help
3477
understanding what changes have occurred
3478
(John Arbash Meinel, #83887)
3479
3480
* TreeTransform avoids many renames when contructing large trees,
3481
improving speed. 3.25x speedups have been observed for construction of
3482
kernel-sized-trees, and checkouts are 1.28x faster. (Aaron Bentley)
3483
3484
* Commit on large trees is now faster. In my environment, a commit of
3485
a small change to the Mozilla tree (55k files) has dropped from
3486
66 seconds to 32 seconds. For a small tree of 600 files, commit of a
3487
small change is 33% faster. (Ian Clatworthy)
3488
3489
* New --create-prefix option to bzr init, like for push. (Daniel Watkins,
3490
#56322)
3491
3492
BUGFIXES:
3493
3494
* ``bzr push`` should only connect to the remote location one time.
3495
We have been connecting 3 times because we forget to pass around
3496
the Transport object. This adds ``BzrDir.clone_on_transport()``, so
3497
that we can pass in the Transport that we already have.
3498
(John Arbash Meinel, #75721)
3499
3500
* ``DirState.set_state_from_inventory()`` needs to properly order
3501
based on split paths, not just string paths.
3502
(John Arbash Meinel, #115947)
3503
3504
* Let TestUIFactoy encode the password prompt with its own stdout.
3505
(Vincent Ladeuil, #110204)
3506
3507
* pycurl should take use the range header that takes the range hint
3508
into account.
3509
(Vincent Ladeuil, #112719)
3510
3511
* WorkingTree4.get_file_sha1 no longer raises an exception when invoked
3512
on a missing file. (Aaron Bentley, #118186)
3513
3514
* WorkingTree.remove works correctly with tree references, and when pwd is
3515
not the tree root. (Aaron Bentley)
3516
3517
* Merge no longer fails when a file is renamed in one tree and deleted
3518
in the other. (Aaron Bentley, #110279)
3519
3520
* ``revision-info`` now accepts dotted revnos, doesn't require a tree,
3521
and defaults to the last revision (Matthew Fuller, #90048)
3522
3523
* Tests no longer fail when BZR_REMOTE_PATH is set in the environment.
3524
(Daniel Watkins, #111958)
3525
3526
* ``bzr branch -r revid:foo`` can be used to branch any revision in
3527
your repository. (Previously Branch6 only supported revisions in your
3528
mainline). (John Arbash Meinel, #115343)

3531
--------------------
3532
3533
BUGFIXES:
3534
3535
* Handle when you have 2 directories with similar names, but one has a
3536
hyphen. (``'abc'`` versus ``'abc-2'``). The WT4._iter_changes
3537
iterator was using direct comparison and ``'abc/a'`` sorts after
3538
``'abc-2'``, but ``('abc', 'a')`` sorts before ``('abc-2',)``.
3539
(John Arbash Meinel, #111227)
3540
3541
* Handle when someone renames a file on disk without telling bzr.
3542
Previously we would report the first file as missing, but not show
3543
the new unknown file. (John Arbash Meinel, #111288)
3544
3545
* Avoid error when running hooks after pulling into or pushing from
3546
a branch bound to a smartserver branch. (Martin Pool, #111968)
3547
3548
IMPROVEMENTS:
3549
3550
* Move developer documentation to doc/developers/. This reduces clutter in
3551
the root of the source tree and allows HACKING to be split into multiple
3552
files. (Robert Collins, Alexander Belchenko)
3553
3554
* Clean up the ``WorkingTree4._iter_changes()`` internal loops as well as
3555
``DirState.update_entry()``. This optimizes the core logic for ``bzr
3556
diff`` and ``bzr status`` significantly improving the speed of
3557
both. (John Arbash Meinel)

3560
-----------------------
3561
3562
BUGFIXES:
3563
3564
* Handle the case when you delete a file, and then rename another file
3565
on top of it. Also handle the case of ``bzr rm --keep foo``. ``bzr
3566
status`` should show the removed file and an unknown file in its
3567
place. (John Arbash Meinel, #109993)
3568
3569
* Bundles properly read and write revision properties that have an
3570
empty value. And when the value is not ASCII.
3571
(John Arbash Meinel, #109613)
3572
3573
* Fix the bzr commit message to be in text mode.
3574
(Alexander Belchenko, #110901)
3575
3576
* Also handle when you rename a file and create a file where it used
3577
to be. (John Arbash Meinel, #110256)
3578
3579
* ``WorkingTree4._iter_changes`` should not descend into unversioned
3580
directories. (John Arbash Meinel, #110399)

3582
bzr 0.16rc1 2007-04-26
3583
-----------------------
3584
3585
NOTES WHEN UPGRADING:
3586
3587
* ``bzr remove`` and ``bzr rm`` will now remove the working file, if
3588
it could be recovered again.
3589
This has been done for consistency with svn and the unix rm command.
3590
The old ``remove`` behaviour has been retained in the new option
3591
``bzr remove --keep``, which will just stop versioning the file,
3592
but not delete it.
3593
``bzr remove --force`` have been added which will always delete the
3594
files.
3595
``bzr remove`` is also more verbose.
3596
(Marius Kruger, #82602)
3597
3598
IMPROVEMENTS:
3599
3600
* Merge directives can now be supplied as input to `merge` and `pull`,
3601
like bundles can. (Aaron Bentley)
3602
3603
* Sending the SIGQUIT signal to bzr, which can be done on Unix by
3604
pressing Control-Backslash, drops bzr into a debugger. Type ``'c'``
3605
to continue. This can be disabled by setting the environment variable
3606
``BZR_SIGQUIT_PDB=0``. (Martin Pool)
3607
3608
* selftest now supports --list-only to list tests instead of running
3609
them. (Ian Clatworthy)
3610
3611
* selftest now supports --exclude PATTERN (or -x PATTERN) to exclude
3612
tests with names that match that regular expression.
3613
(Ian Clatworthy, #102679)
3614
3615
* selftest now supports --randomize SEED to run tests in a random order.
3616
SEED is typically the value 'now' meaning 'use the current time'.
3617
(Ian Clatworthy, #102686)
3618
3619
* New option ``--fixes`` to commit, which stores bug fixing annotations as
3620
revision properties. Built-in support for Launchpad, Debian, Trac and
3621
Bugzilla bug trackers. (Jonathan Lange, James Henstridge, Robert Collins)
3622
3623
* New API, ``bzrlib.bugtracker.tracker_registry``, for adding support for
3624
other bug trackers to ``fixes``. (Jonathan Lange, James Henstridge,
3625
Robert Collins)
3626
3627
* ``selftest`` has new short options ``-f`` and ``-1``. (Martin
3628
Pool)
3629
3630
* ``bzrlib.tsort.MergeSorter`` optimizations. Change the inner loop
3631
into using local variables instead of going through ``self._var``.
3632
Improves the time to ``merge_sort`` a 10k revision graph by
3633
approximately 40% (~700->400ms). (John Arbash Meinel)
3634
3635
* ``make docs`` now creates a man page at ``man1/bzr.1`` fixing bug 107388.
3636
(Robert Collins)
3637
3638
* ``bzr help`` now provides cross references to other help topics using
3639
the _see_also facility on command classes. Likewise the bzr_man
3640
documentation, and the bzr.1 man page also include this information.
3641
(Robert Collins)
3642
3643
* Tags are now included in logs, that use the long log formatter.
3644
(Erik Bågfors, Alexander Belchenko)
3645
3646
* ``bzr help`` provides a clearer message when a help topic cannot be
3647
found. (Robert Collins, #107656)
3648
3649
* ``bzr help`` now accepts optional prefixes for command help. The help
3650
for all commands can now be found at ``bzr help commands/COMMANDNAME``
3651
as well as ``bzr help COMMANDNAME`` (which only works for commands
3652
where the name is not the same as a more general help topic).
3653
(Robert Collins)
3654
3655
* ``bzr help PLUGINNAME`` will now return the module docstring from the
3656
plugin PLUGINNAME. (Robert Collins, #50408)
3657
3658
* New help topic ``urlspec`` which lists the availables transports.
3659
(Goffredo Baroncelli)
3660
3661
* doc/server.txt updated to document the default bzr:// port
3662
and also update the blurb about the hpss' current status.
3663
(Robert Collins, #107125).
3664
3665
* ``bzr serve`` now listens on interface 0.0.0.0 by default, making it
3666
serve out to the local LAN (and anyone in the world that can reach the
3667
machine running ``bzr serve``. (Robert Collins, #98918)
3668
3669
* A new smart server protocol version has been added. It prefixes requests
3670
and responses with an explicit version identifier so that future protocol
3671
revisions can be dealt with gracefully. (Andrew Bennetts, Robert Collins)
3672
3673
* The bzr protocol version 2 indicates success or failure in every response
3674
without depending on particular commands encoding that consistently,
3675
allowing future client refactorings to be much more robust about error
3676
handling. (Robert Collins, Martin Pool, Andrew Bennetts)
3677
3678
* The smart protocol over HTTP client has been changed to always post to the
3679
same ``.bzr/smart`` URL under the original location when it can. This allows
3680
HTTP servers to only have to pass URLs ending in .bzr/smart to the smart
3681
server handler, and not arbitrary ``.bzr/*/smart`` URLs. (Andrew Bennetts)
3682
3683
* digest authentication is now supported for proxies and HTTP by the urllib
3684
based http implementation. Tested against Apache 2.0.55 and Squid
3685
2.6.5. Basic and digest authentication are handled coherently for HTTP
3686
and proxy: if the user is provided in the url (bzr command line for HTTP,
3687
proxy environment variables for proxies), the password is prompted for
3688
(only once). If the password is provided, it is taken into account. Once
3689
the first authentication is successful, all further authentication
3690
roundtrips are avoided by preventively setting the right authentication
3691
header(s).
3692
(Vincent Ladeuil).
3693
3694
INTERNALS:
3695
3696
* bzrlib API compatability with 0.8 has been dropped, cleaning up some
3697
code paths. (Robert Collins)
3698
3699
* Change the format of chroot urls so that they can be safely manipulated
3700
by generic url utilities without causing the resulting urls to have
3701
escaped the chroot. A side effect of this is that creating a chroot
3702
requires an explicit action using a ChrootServer.
3703
(Robert Collins, Andrew Bennetts)
3704
3705
* Deprecate ``Branch.get_root_id()`` because branches don't have root ids,
3706
rather than fixing bug #96847. (Aaron Bentley)
3707
3708
* ``WorkingTree.apply_inventory_delta`` provides a better alternative to
3709
``WorkingTree._write_inventory``. (Aaron Bentley)
3710
3711
* Convenience method ``TestCase.expectFailure`` ensures that known failures
3712
do not silently pass. (Aaron Bentley)
3713
3714
* ``Transport.local_abspath`` now raises ``NotLocalUrl`` rather than
3715
``TransportNotPossible``. (Martin Pool, Ian Clatworthy)
3716
3717
* New SmartServer hooks facility. There are two initial hooks documented
3718
in ``bzrlib.transport.smart.SmartServerHooks``. The two initial hooks allow
3719
plugins to execute code upon server startup and shutdown.
3720
(Robert Collins).
3721
3722
* SmartServer in standalone mode will now close its listening socket
3723
when it stops, rather than waiting for garbage collection. This primarily
3724
fixes test suite hangs when a test tries to connect to a shutdown server.
3725
It may also help improve behaviour when dealing with a server running
3726
on a specific port (rather than dynamically assigned ports).
3727
(Robert Collins)
3728
3729
* Move most SmartServer code into a new package, bzrlib/smart.
3730
bzrlib/transport/remote.py contains just the Transport classes that used
3731
to be in bzrlib/transport/smart.py. (Andrew Bennetts)
3732
3733
* urllib http implementation avoid roundtrips associated with
3734
401 (and 407) errors once the authentication succeeds.
3735
(Vincent Ladeuil).
3736
3737
* urlib http now supports querying the user for a proxy password if
3738
needed. Realm is shown in the prompt for both HTTP and proxy
3739
authentication when the user is required to type a password.
3740
(Vincent Ladeuil).
3741
3742
* Renamed SmartTransport (and subclasses like SmartTCPTransport) to
3743
RemoteTransport (and subclasses to RemoteTCPTransport, etc). This is more
3744
consistent with its new home in ``bzrlib/transport/remote.py``, and because
3745
it's not really a "smart" transport, just one that does file operations
3746
via remote procedure calls. (Andrew Bennetts)
3747
3748
* The ``lock_write`` method of ``LockableFiles``, ``Repository`` and
3749
``Branch`` now accept a ``token`` keyword argument, so that separate
3750
instances of those objects can share a lock if it has the right token.
3751
(Andrew Bennetts, Robert Collins)
3752
3753
* New method ``get_branch_reference`` on ``BzrDir`` allows the detection of
3754
branch references - which the smart server component needs.
3755
3756
* The Repository API ``make_working_trees`` is now permitted to return
3757
False when ``set_make_working_trees`` is not implemented - previously
3758
an unimplemented ``set_make_working_trees`` implied the result True
3759
from ``make_working_trees``. This has been changed to accomodate the
3760
smart server, where it does not make sense (at this point) to ever
3761
make working trees by default. (Robert Collins)
3762
3763
* Command objects can now declare related help topics by having _see_also
3764
set to a list of related topic. (Robert Collins)
3765
3766
* ``bzrlib.help`` now delegates to the Command class for Command specific
3767
help. (Robert Collins)
3768
3769
* New class ``TransportListRegistry``, derived from the Registry class, which
3770
simplifies tracking the available Transports. (Goffredo Baroncelli)
3771
3772
* New function ``Branch.get_revision_id_to_revno_map`` which will
3773
return a dictionary mapping revision ids to dotted revnos. Since
3774
dotted revnos are defined in the context of the branch tip, it makes
3775
sense to generate them from a ``Branch`` object.
3776
(John Arbash Meinel)
3777
3778
* Fix the 'Unprintable error' message display to use the repr of the
3779
exception that prevented printing the error because the str value
3780
for it is often not useful in debugging (e.g. KeyError('foo') has a
3781
str() of 'foo' but a repr of 'KeyError('foo')' which is much more
3782
useful. (Robert Collins)
3783
3784
* ``urlutils.normalize_url`` now unescapes unreserved characters, such as "~".
3785
(Andrew Bennetts)
3786
3787
BUGFIXES:
3788
3789
* Don't fail bundle selftest if email has 'two' embedded.
3790
(Ian Clatworthy, #98510)
3791
3792
* Remove ``--verbose`` from ``bzr bundle``. It didn't work anyway.
3793
(Robert Widhopf-Fenk, #98591)
3794
3795
* Remove ``--basis`` from the checkout/branch commands - it didn't work
3796
properly and is no longer beneficial.
3797
(Robert Collins, #53675, #43486)
3798
3799
* Don't produce encoding error when adding duplicate files.
3800
(Aaron Bentley)
3801
3802
* Fix ``bzr log <file>`` so it only logs the revisions that changed
3803
the file, and does it faster.
3804
(Kent Gibson, John Arbash Meinel, #51980, #69477)
3805
3806
* Fix ``InterDirstateTre._iter_changes`` to handle when we come across
3807
an empty versioned directory, which now has files in it.
3808
(John Arbash Meinel, #104257)
3809
3810
* Teach ``common_ancestor`` to shortcut when the tip of one branch is
3811
inside the ancestry of the other. Saves a lot of graph processing
3812
(with an ancestry of 16k revisions, ``bzr merge ../already-merged``
3813
changes from 2m10s to 13s). (John Arbash Meinel, #103757)
3814
3815
* Fix ``show_diff_trees`` to handle the case when a file is modified,
3816
and the containing directory is renamed. (The file path is different
3817
in this versus base, but it isn't marked as a rename).
3818
(John Arbash Meinel, #103870)
3819
3820
* FTP now works even when the FTP server does not support atomic rename.
3821
(Aaron Bentley, #89436)
3822
3823
* Correct handling in bundles and merge directives of timezones with
3824
that are not an integer number of hours offset from UTC. Always
3825
represent the epoch time in UTC to avoid problems with formatting
3826
earlier times on win32. (Martin Pool, Alexander Belchenko, John
3827
Arbash Meinel)
3828
3829
* Typo in the help for ``register-branch`` fixed. (Robert Collins, #96770)
3830
3831
* "dirstate" and "dirstate-tags" formats now produce branches compatible
3832
with old versions of bzr. (Aaron Bentley, #107168))
3833
3834
* Handle moving a directory when children have been added, removed,
3835
and renamed. (John Arbash Meinel, #105479)
3836
3837
* Don't preventively use basic authentication for proxy before receiving a
3838
407 error. Otherwise people willing to use other authentication schemes
3839
may expose their password in the clear (or nearly). This add one
3840
roundtrip in case basic authentication should be used, but plug the
3841
security hole.
3842
(Vincent Ladeuil)
3843
3844
* Handle http and proxy digest authentication.
3845
(Vincent Ladeuil, #94034).
3846
3847
TESTING:
3848
3849
* Added ``bzrlib.strace.strace`` which will strace a single callable and
3850
return a StraceResult object which contains just the syscalls involved
3851
in running it. (Robert Collins)
3852
3853
* New test method ``reduceLockdirTimeout`` to drop the default (ui-centric)
3854
default time down to one suitable for tests. (Andrew Bennetts)
3855
3856
* Add new ``vfs_transport_factory`` attribute on tests which provides the
3857
common vfs backing for both the readonly and readwrite transports.
3858
This allows the RemoteObject tests to back onto local disk or memory,
3859
and use the existing ``transport_server`` attribute all tests know about
3860
to be the smart server transport. This in turn allows tests to
3861
differentiate between 'transport to access the branch', and
3862
'transport which is a VFS' - which matters in Remote* tests.
3863
(Robert Collins, Andrew Bennetts)
3864
3865
* The ``make_branch_and_tree`` method for tests will now create a
3866
lightweight checkout for the tree if the ``vfs_transport_factory`` is not
3867
a LocalURLServer. (Robert Collins, Andrew Bennetts)
3868
3869
* Branch implementation tests have been audited to ensure that all urls
3870
passed to Branch APIs use proper urls, except when local-disk paths
3871
are intended. This is so that tests correctly access the test transport
3872
which is often not equivalent to local disk in Remote* tests. As part
3873
of this many tests were adjusted to remove dependencies on local disk
3874
access.
3875
(Robert Collins, Andrew Bennetts)
3876
3877
* Mark bzrlib.tests and bzrlib.tests.TestUtil as providing assertFOO helper
3878
functions by adding a ``__unittest`` global attribute. (Robert Collins,
3879
Andrew Bennetts, Martin Pool, Jonathan Lange)
3880
3881
* Refactored proxy and authentication handling to simplify the
3882
implementation of new auth schemes for both http and proxy.

3898
-----------------------
3899
3900
CHANGES:
3901
3902
* A warning is now displayed when opening working trees in older
3903
formats, to encourage people to upgrade to WorkingTreeFormat4.
3904
(Martin Pool)
3905
3906
IMPROVEMENTS:
3907
3908
* HTTP redirections are now taken into account when a branch (or a
3909
bundle) is accessed for the first time. A message is issued at each
3910
redirection to inform the user. In the past, http redirections were
3911
silently followed for each request which significantly degraded the
3912
performances. The http redirections are not followed anymore by
3913
default, instead a RedirectRequested exception is raised. For bzrlib
3914
users needing to follow http redirections anyway,
3915
``bzrlib.transport.do_catching_redirections`` provide an easy transition
3916
path. (vila)
3917
3918
INTERNALS:
3919
3920
* Added ``ReadLock.temporary_write_lock()`` to allow upgrading an OS read
3921
lock to an OS write lock. Linux can do this without unlocking, Win32
3922
needs to unlock in between. (John Arbash Meinel)
3923
3924
* New parameter ``recommend_upgrade`` to ``BzrDir.open_workingtree``
3925
to silence (when false) warnings about opening old formats.
3926
(Martin Pool)
3927
3928
* Fix minor performance regression with bzr-0.15 on pre-dirstate
3929
trees. (We were reading the working inventory too many times).
3930
(John Arbash Meinel)
3931
3932
* Remove ``Branch.get_transaction()`` in favour of a simple cache of
3933
``revision_history``. Branch subclasses should override
3934
``_gen_revision_history`` rather than ``revision_history`` to make use of
3935
this cache, and call ``_clear_revision_history_cache`` and
3936
``_cache_revision_history`` at appropriate times. (Andrew Bennetts)
3937
3938
BUGFIXES:
3939
3940
* Take ``smtp_server`` from user config into account.
3941
(vila, #92195)
3942
3943
* Restore Unicode filename handling for versioned and unversioned files.
3944
(John Arbash Meinel, #92608)
3945
3946
* Don't fail during ``bzr commit`` if a file is marked removed, and
3947
the containing directory is auto-removed. (John Arbash Meinel, #93681)
3948
3949
* ``bzr status FILENAME`` failed on Windows because of an uncommon
3950
errno. (``ERROR_DIRECTORY == 267 != ENOTDIR``).
3951
(Wouter van Heyst, John Arbash Meinel, #90819)
3952
3953
* ``bzr checkout source`` should create a local branch in the same
3954
format as source. (John Arbash Meinel, #93854)
3955
3956
* ``bzr commit`` with a kind change was failing to update the
3957
last-changed-revision for directories. The
3958
InventoryDirectory._unchanged only looked at the ``parent_id`` and name,
3959
ignoring the fact that the kind could have changed, too.
3960
(John Arbash Meinel, #90111)
3961
3962
* ``bzr mv dir/subdir other`` was incorrectly updating files inside
3963
the directory. So that there was a chance it would break commit,
3964
etc. (John Arbash Meinel, #94037)
3965
3966
* Correctly handles mutiple permanent http redirections.

3970
-----------------------
3971
3972
NOTES WHEN UPGRADING:
3973
3974
* Release 0.15rc2 of bzr changes the ``bzr init-repo`` command to
3975
default to ``--trees`` instead of ``--no-trees``.
3976
Existing shared repositories are not affected.
3977
3978
IMPROVEMENTS:
3979
3980
* New ``merge-directive`` command to generate machine- and human-readable
3981
merge requests. (Aaron Bentley)
3982
3983
* New ``submit:`` revision specifier makes it easy to diff against the
3984
common ancestor with the submit location (Aaron Bentley)
3985
3986
* Added support for Putty's SSH implementation. (Dmitry Vasiliev)
3987
3988
* Added ``bzr status --versioned`` to report only versioned files,
3989
not unknowns. (Kent Gibson)
3990
3991
* Merge now autodetects the correct line-ending style for its conflict
3992
markers. (Aaron Bentley)
3993
3994
INTERNALS:
3995
3996
* Refactored SSH vendor registration into SSHVendorManager class.
3997
(Dmitry Vasiliev)
3998
3999
BUGFIXES:
4000
4001
* New ``--numbered-dirs`` option to ``bzr selftest`` to use
4002
numbered dirs for TestCaseInTempDir. This is default behavior
4003
on Windows. Anyone can force named dirs on Windows
4004
with ``--no-numbered-dirs``. (Alexander Belchenko)
4005
4006
* Fix ``RevisionSpec_revid`` to handle the Unicode strings passed in
4007
from the command line. (Marien Zwart, #90501)
4008
4009
* Fix ``TreeTransform._iter_changes`` when both the source and
4010
destination are missing. (Aaron Bentley, #88842)
4011
4012
* Fix commit of merges with symlinks in dirstate trees.
4013
(Marien Zwart)
4014
4015
* Switch the ``bzr init-repo`` default from --no-trees to --trees.
4016
(Wouter van Heyst, #53483)

4019
bzr 0.15rc1 2007-03-07
4020
-----------------------
4021
4022
SURPRISES:
4023
4024
* The default disk format has changed. Please run 'bzr upgrade' in your
4025
working trees to upgrade. This new default is compatible for network
4026
operations, but not for local operations. That is, if you have two
4027
versions of bzr installed locally, after upgrading you can only use the
4028
bzr 0.15 version. This new default does not enable tags or nested-trees
4029
as they are incompatible with bzr versions before 0.15 over the network.
4030
4031
* For users of bzrlib: Two major changes have been made to the working tree
4032
api in bzrlib. The first is that many methods and attributes, including
4033
the inventory attribute, are no longer valid for use until one of
4034
``lock_read``/``lock_write``/``lock_tree_write`` has been called,
4035
and become invalid again after unlock is called. This has been done
4036
to improve performance and correctness as part of the dirstate
4037
development.
4038
(Robert Collins, John A Meinel, Martin Pool, and others).
4039
4040
* For users of bzrlib: The attribute 'tree.inventory' should be considered
4041
readonly. Previously it was possible to directly alter this attribute, or
4042
its contents, and have the tree notice this. This has been made
4043
unsupported - it may work in some tree formats, but in the newer dirstate
4044
format such actions will have no effect and will be ignored, or even
4045
cause assertions. All operations possible can still be carried out by a
4046
combination of the tree API, and the bzrlib.transform API. (Robert
4047
Collins, John A Meinel, Martin Pool, and others).
4048
4049
IMPROVEMENTS:
4050
4051
* Support for OS Windows 98. Also .bzr.log on any windows system
4052
saved in My Documents folder. (Alexander Belchenko)
4053
4054
* ``bzr mv`` enhanced to support already moved files.
4055
In the past the mv command would have failed if the source file doesn't
4056
exist. In this situation ``bzr mv`` would now detect that the file has
4057
already moved and update the repository accordingly, if the target file
4058
does exist.
4059
A new option ``--after`` has been added so that if two files already
4060
exist, you could notify Bazaar that you have moved a (versioned) file
4061
and replaced it with another. Thus in this case ``bzr move --after``
4062
will only update the Bazaar identifier.
4063
(Steffen Eichenberg, Marius Kruger)
4064
4065
* ``ls`` now works on treeless branches and remote branches.
4066
(Aaron Bentley)
4067
4068
* ``bzr help global-options`` describes the global options.
4069
(Aaron Bentley)
4070
4071
* ``bzr pull --overwrite`` will now correctly overwrite checkouts.
4072
(Robert Collins)
4073
4074
* Files are now allowed to change kind (e.g. from file to symlink).
4075
Supported by ``commit``, ``revert`` and ``status``
4076
(Aaron Bentley)
4077
4078
* ``inventory`` and ``unknowns`` hidden in favour of ``ls``
4079
(Aaron Bentley)
4080
4081
* ``bzr help checkouts`` descibes what checkouts are and some possible
4082
uses of them. (James Westby, Aaron Bentley)
4083
4084
* A new ``-d`` option to push, pull and merge overrides the default
4085
directory. (Martin Pool)
4086
4087
* Branch format 6: smaller, and potentially faster than format 5. Supports
4088
``append_history_only`` mode, where the log view and revnos do not change,
4089
except by being added to. Stores policy settings in
4090
".bzr/branch/branch.conf".
4091
4092
* ``append_only`` branches: Format 6 branches may be configured so that log
4093
view and revnos are always consistent. Either create the branch using
4094
"bzr init --append-revisions-only" or edit the config file as descriped
4095
in docs/configuration.txt.
4096
4097
* rebind: Format 6 branches retain the last-used bind location, so if you
4098
"bzr unbind", you can "bzr bind" to bind to the previously-selected
4099
bind location.
4100
4101
* Builtin tags support, created and deleted by the ``tag`` command and
4102
stored in the branch. Tags can be accessed with the revisionspec
4103
``-rtag:``, and listed with ``bzr tags``. Tags are not versioned
4104
at present. Tags require a network incompatible upgrade. To perform this
4105
upgrade, run ``bzr upgrade --dirstate-tags`` in your branch and
4106
repositories. (Martin Pool)
4107
4108
* The ``bzr://`` transport now has a well-known port number, 4155,
4109
which it will use by default. (Andrew Bennetts, Martin Pool)
4110
4111
* Bazaar now looks for user-installed plugins before looking for site-wide
4112
plugins. (Jonathan Lange)
4113
4114
* ``bzr resolve`` now detects and marks resolved text conflicts.
4115
(Aaron Bentley)
4116
4117
INTERNALS:
4118
4119
* Internally revision ids and file ids are now passed around as utf-8
4120
bytestrings, rather than treating them as Unicode strings. This has
4121
performance benefits for Knits, since we no longer need to decode the
4122
revision id for each line of content, nor for each entry in the index.
4123
This will also help with the future dirstate format.
4124
(John Arbash Meinel)
4125
4126
* Reserved ids (any revision-id ending in a colon) are rejected by
4127
versionedfiles, repositories, branches, and working trees
4128
(Aaron Bentley)
4129
4130
* Minor performance improvement by not creating a ProgressBar for
4131
every KnitIndex we create. (about 90ms for a bzr.dev tree)
4132
(John Arbash Meinel)
4133
4134
* New easier to use Branch hooks facility. There are five initial hooks,
4135
all documented in bzrlib.branch.BranchHooks.__init__ - ``'set_rh'``,
4136
``'post_push'``, ``'post_pull'``, ``'post_commit'``,
4137
``'post_uncommit'``. These hooks fire after the matching operation
4138
on a branch has taken place, and were originally added for the
4139
branchrss plugin. (Robert Collins)
4140
4141
* New method ``Branch.push()`` which should be used when pushing from a
4142
branch as it makes performance and policy decisions to match the UI
4143
level command ``push``. (Robert Collins).
4144
4145
* Add a new method ``Tree.revision_tree`` which allows access to cached
4146
trees for arbitrary revisions. This allows the in development dirstate
4147
tree format to provide access to the callers to cached copies of
4148
inventory data which are cheaper to access than inventories from the
4149
repository.
4150
(Robert Collins, Martin Pool)
4151
4152
* New ``Branch.last_revision_info`` method, this is being done to allow
4153
optimization of requests for both the number of revisions and the last
4154
revision of a branch with smartservers and potentially future branch
4155
formats. (Wouter van Heyst, Robert Collins)
4156
4157
* Allow ``'import bzrlib.plugins.NAME'`` to work when the plugin NAME has not
4158
yet been loaded by ``load_plugins()``. This allows plugins to depend on each
4159
other for code reuse without requiring users to perform file-renaming
4160
gymnastics. (Robert Collins)
4161
4162
* New Repository method ``'gather_stats'`` for statistic data collection.
4163
This is expected to grow to cover a number of related uses mainly
4164
related to bzr info. (Robert Collins)
4165
4166
* Log formatters are now managed with a registry.
4167
``log.register_formatter`` continues to work, but callers accessing
4168
the FORMATTERS dictionary directly will not.
4169
4170
* Allow a start message to be passed to the ``edit_commit_message``
4171
function. This will be placed in the message offered to the user
4172
for editing above the separator. It allows a template commit message
4173
to be used more easily. (James Westby)
4174
4175
* ``GPGStrategy.sign()`` will now raise ``BzrBadParameterUnicode`` if
4176
you pass a Unicode string rather than an 8-bit string. Callers need
4177
to be updated to encode first. (John Arbash Meinel)
4178
4179
* Branch.push, pull, merge now return Result objects with information
4180
about what happened, rather than a scattering of various methods. These
4181
are also passed to the post hooks. (Martin Pool)
4182
4183
* File formats and architecture is in place for managing a forest of trees
4184
in bzr, and splitting up existing trees into smaller subtrees, and
4185
finally joining trees to make a larger tree. This is the first iteration
4186
of this support, and the user-facing aspects still require substantial
4187
work. If you wish to experiment with it, use ``bzr upgrade
4188
--dirstate-with-subtree`` in your working trees and repositories.
4189
You can use the hidden commands ``split`` and ``join`` and to create
4190
and manipulate nested trees, but please consider using the nested-trees
4191
branch, which contains substantial UI improvements, instead.

(Aaron Bentley, Martin Pool, Robert Collins).
4194
4195
BUGFIXES:
4196
4197
* ``bzr annotate`` now uses dotted revnos from the viewpoint of the
4198
branch, rather than the last changed revision of the file.
4199
(John Arbash Meinel, #82158)
4200
4201
* Lock operations no longer hang if they encounter a permission problem.
4202
(Aaron Bentley)
4203
4204
* ``bzr push`` can resume a push that was canceled before it finished.
4205
Also, it can push even if the target directory exists if you supply
4206
the ``--use-existing-dir`` flag.
4207
(John Arbash Meinel, #30576, #45504)
4208
4209
* Fix http proxy authentication when user and an optional
4210
password appears in the ``*_proxy`` vars. (Vincent Ladeuil,
4211
#83954).
4212
4213
* ``bzr log branch/file`` works for local treeless branches
4214
(Aaron Bentley, #84247)
4215
4216
* Fix problem with UNC paths on Windows 98. (Alexander Belchenko, #84728)
4217
4218
* Searching location of CA bundle for PyCurl in env variable
4219
(``CURL_CA_BUNDLE``), and on win32 along the PATH.
4220
(Alexander Belchenko, #82086)
4221
4222
* ``bzr init`` works with unicode argument LOCATION.
4223
(Alexander Belchenko, #85599)
4224
4225
* Raise ``DependencyNotPresent`` if pycurl do not support https.
4226
(Vincent Ladeuil, #85305)
4227
4228
* Invalid proxy env variables should not cause a traceback.
4229
(Vincent Ladeuil, #87765)
4230
4231
* Ignore patterns normalised to use '/' path separator.
4232
(Kent Gibson, #86451)
4233
4234
* bzr rocks. It sure does! Fix case. (Vincent Ladeuil, #78026)
4235
4236
* Fix bzrtools shelve command for removed lines beginning with "--"
4237
(Johan Dahlberg, #75577)
4238
4239
TESTING:
4240
4241
* New ``--first`` option to ``bzr selftest`` to run specified tests

4248
IMPROVEMENTS:
4249
4250
* ``bzr help global-options`` describes the global options. (Aaron Bentley)
4251
4252
BUG FIXES:
4253
4254
* Skip documentation generation tests if the tools to do so are not
4255
available. Fixes running selftest for installled copies of bzr.
4256
(John Arbash Meinel, #80330)
4257
4258
* Fix the code that discovers whether bzr is being run from it's
4259
working tree to handle the case when it isn't but the directory
4260
it is in is below a repository. (James Westby, #77306)

4262
4263
bzr 0.14rc1 2007-01-16
4264
-----------------------
4265
4266
IMPROVEMENTS:
4267
4268
* New connection: ``bzr+http://`` which supports tunnelling the smart
4269
protocol over an HTTP connection. If writing is enabled on the bzr
4270
server, then you can write over the http connection.
4271
(Andrew Bennetts, John Arbash Meinel)
4272
4273
* Aliases now support quotation marks, so they can contain whitespace
4274
(Marius Kruger)
4275
4276
* PyCurlTransport now use a single curl object. By specifying explicitly
4277
the 'Range' header, we avoid the need to use two different curl objects
4278
(and two connections to the same server). (Vincent Ladeuil)
4279
4280
* ``bzr commit`` does not prompt for a message until it is very likely to
4281
succeed. (Aaron Bentley)
4282
4283
* ``bzr conflicts`` now takes --text to list pathnames of text conflicts
4284
(Aaron Bentley)
4285
4286
* Fix ``iter_lines_added_or_present_in_versions`` to use a set instead
4287
of a list while checking if a revision id was requested. Takes 10s
4288
off of the ``fileids_affected_by_revision_ids`` time, which is 10s
4289
of the ``bzr branch`` time. Also improve ``fileids_...`` time by
4290
filtering lines with a regex rather than multiple ``str.find()``
4291
calls. (saves another 300ms) (John Arbash Meinel)
4292
4293
* Policy can be set for each configuration key. This allows keys to be
4294
inherited properly across configuration entries. For example, this
4295
should enable you to do::
4296
4297
[/home/user/project]
4298
push_location = sftp://host/srv/project/
4299
push_location:policy = appendpath
4300
4301
And then a branch like ``/home/user/project/mybranch`` should get an
4302
automatic push location of ``sftp://host/srv/project/mybranch``.
4303
(James Henstridge)
4304
4305
* Added ``bzr status --short`` to make status report svn style flags
4306
for each file. For example::
4307
4308
$ bzr status --short
4309
A foo
4310
A bar
4311
D baz
4312
? wooley
4313
4314
* 'bzr selftest --clean-output' allows easily clean temporary tests
4315
directories without running tests. (Alexander Belchenko)
4316
4317
* ``bzr help hidden-commands`` lists all hidden commands. (Aaron Bentley)
4318
4319
* ``bzr merge`` now has an option ``--pull`` to fall back to pull if
4320
local is fully merged into remote. (Jan Hudec)
4321
4322
* ``bzr help formats`` describes available directory formats. (Aaron Bentley)
4323
4324
INTERNALS:
4325
4326
* A few tweaks directly to ``fileids_affected_by_revision_ids`` to
4327
help speed up processing, as well allowing to extract unannotated
4328
lines. Between the two ``fileids_affected_by_revision_ids`` is
4329
improved by approx 10%. (John Arbash Meinel)
4330
4331
* Change Revision serialization to only write out millisecond
4332
resolution. Rather than expecting floating point serialization to
4333
preserve more resolution than we need. (Henri Weichers, Martin Pool)
4334
4335
* Test suite ends cleanly on Windows. (Vincent Ladeuil)
4336
4337
* When ``encoding_type`` attribute of class Command is equal to 'exact',
4338
force sys.stdout to be a binary stream on Windows, and therefore
4339
keep exact line-endings (without LF -> CRLF conversion).
4340
(Alexander Belchenko)
4341
4342
* Single-letter short options are no longer globally declared. (Martin
4343
Pool)
4344
4345
* Before using detected user/terminal encoding bzr should check
4346
that Python has corresponding codec. (Alexander Belchenko)
4347
4348
* Formats for end-user selection are provided via a FormatRegistry (Aaron Bentley)
4349
4350
BUG FIXES:
4351
4352
* ``bzr missing --verbose`` was showing adds/removals in the wrong
4353
direction. (John Arbash Meinel)
4354
4355
* ``bzr annotate`` now defaults to showing dotted revnos for merged
4356
revisions. It cuts them off at a depth of 12 characters, but you can
4357
supply ``--long`` to see the full number. You can also use
4358
``--show-ids`` to display the original revision ids, rather than
4359
revision numbers and committer names. (John Arbash Meinel, #75637)
4360
4361
* bzr now supports Win32 UNC path (e.g. ``\HOST\path``.
4362
(Alexander Belchenko, #57869)
4363
4364
* Win32-specific: output of cat, bundle and diff commands don't mangle
4365
line-endings (Alexander Belchenko, #55276)
4366
4367
* Replace broken fnmatch based ignore pattern matching with custom pattern
4368
matcher.
4369
(Kent Gibson, Jan Hudec #57637)
4370
4371
* pycurl and urllib can detect short reads at different places. Update
4372
the test suite to test more cases. Also detect http error code 416
4373
which was raised for that specific bug. Also enhance the urllib
4374
robustness by detecting invalid ranges (and pycurl's one by detecting
4375
short reads during the initial GET). (Vincent Ladeuil, #73948)
4376
4377
* The urllib connection sharing interacts badly with urllib2
4378
proxy setting (the connections didn't go thru the proxy
4379
anymore). Defining a proper ProxyHandler solves the
4380
problem. (Vincent Ladeuil, #74759)
4381
4382
* Use urlutils to generate relative URLs, not osutils
4383
(Aaron Bentley, #76229)
4384
4385
* ``bzr status`` in a readonly directory should work without giving
4386
lots of errors. (John Arbash Meinel, #76299)
4387
4388
* Mention the revisionspec topic for the revision option help.
4389
(Wouter van Heyst, #31663)
4390
4391
* Allow plugins import from zip archives.

4403
IMPROVEMENTS:
4404
4405
* New command ``bzr remove-tree`` allows the removal of the working
4406
tree from a branch.
4407
(Daniel Silverstone)
4408
4409
* urllib uses shared keep-alive connections, so http
4410
operations are substantially faster.
4411
(Vincent Ladeuil, #53654)
4412
4413
* ``bzr export`` allows an optional branch parameter, to export a bzr
4414
tree from some other url. For example:
4415
``bzr export bzr.tar.gz http://bazaar-vcs.org/bzr/bzr.dev``
4416
(Daniel Silverstone)
4417
4418
* Added ``bzr help topics`` to the bzr help system. This gives a
4419
location for general information, outside of a specific command.
4420
This includes updates for ``bzr help revisionspec`` the first topic
4421
included. (Goffredo Baroncelli, John Arbash Meinel, #42714)
4422
4423
* WSGI-compatible HTTP smart server. See ``doc/http_smart_server.txt``.
4424
(Andrew Bennetts)
4425
4426
* Knit files will now cache full texts only when the size of the
4427
deltas is as large as the size of the fulltext. (Or after 200
4428
deltas, whichever comes first). This has the most benefit on large
4429
files with small changes, such as the inventory for a large project.
4430
(eg For a project with 2500 files, and 7500 revisions, it changes
4431
the size of inventory.knit from 11MB to 5.4MB) (John Arbash Meinel)
4432
4433
INTERNALS:
4434
4435
* New -D option given before the command line turns on debugging output
4436
for particular areas. -Derror shows tracebacks on all errors.
4437
(Martin Pool)
4438
4439
* Clean up ``bzr selftest --benchmark bundle`` to correct an import,
4440
and remove benchmarks that take longer than 10min to run.
4441
(John Arbash Meinel)
4442
4443
* Use ``time.time()`` instead of ``time.clock()`` to decide on
4444
progress throttling. Because ``time.clock()`` is actually CPU time,
4445
so over a high-latency connection, too many updates get throttled.
4446
(John Arbash Meinel)
4447
4448
* ``MemoryTransport.list_dir()`` would strip the first character for
4449
files or directories in root directory. (John Arbash Meinel)
4450
4451
* New method ``get_branch_reference`` on 'BzrDir' allows the detection of
4452
branch references - which the smart server component needs.
4453
4454
* New ``ChrootTransportDecorator``, accessible via the ``chroot+`` url
4455
prefix. It disallows any access to locations above a set URL. (Andrew
4456
Bennetts)
4457
4458
BUG FIXES:
4459
4460
* Now ``_KnitIndex`` properly decode revision ids when loading index data.
4461
And optimize the knit index parsing code.
4462
(Dmitry Vasiliev, John Arbash Meinel)
4463
4464
* ``bzrlib/bzrdir.py`` was directly referencing ``bzrlib.workingtree``,
4465
without importing it. This prevented ``bzr upgrade`` from working
4466
unless a plugin already imported ``bzrlib.workingtree``
4467
(John Arbash Meinel, #70716)
4468
4469
* Suppress the traceback on invalid URLs (Vincent Ladeuil, #70803).
4470
4471
* Give nicer error message when an http server returns a 403
4472
error code. (Vincent Ladeuil, #57644).
4473
4474
* When a multi-range http GET request fails, try a single
4475
range one. If it fails too, forget about ranges. Remember that until
4476
the death of the transport and propagates that to the clones.
4477
(Vincent Ladeuil, #62276, #62029).
4478
4479
* Handles user/passwords supplied in url from command
4480
line (for the urllib implementation). Don't request already
4481
known passwords (Vincent Ladeuil, #42383, #44647, #48527)
4482
4483
* ``_KnitIndex.add_versions()`` dictionary compresses revision ids as they
4484
are added. This fixes bug where fetching remote revisions records
4485
them as full references rather than integers.
4486
(John Arbash Meinel, #64789)
4487
4488
* ``bzr ignore`` strips trailing slashes in patterns.
4489
Also ``bzr ignore`` rejects absolute paths. (Kent Gibson, #4559)
4490
4491
* ``bzr ignore`` takes multiple arguments. (Cheuksan Edward Wang, #29488)
4492
4493
* mv correctly handles paths that traverse symlinks.
4494
(Aaron Bentley, #66964)
4495
4496
* Give nicer looking error messages when failing to connect over ssh.
4497
(John Arbash Meinel, #49172)
4498
4499
* Pushing to a remote branch does not currently update the remote working
4500
tree. After a remote push, ``bzr status`` and ``bzr diff`` on the remote
4501
machine now show that the working tree is out of date.
4502
(Cheuksan Edward Wang #48136)
4503
4504
* Use patiencediff instead of difflib for determining deltas to insert
4505
into knits. This avoids the O(N^3) behavior of difflib. Patience
4506
diff should be O(N^2). (Cheuksan Edward Wang, #65714)
4507
4508
* Running ``bzr log`` on nonexistent file gives an error instead of the
4509
entire log history. (Cheuksan Edward Wang #50793)
4510
4511
* ``bzr cat`` can look up contents of removed or renamed files. If the
4512
pathname is ambiguous, i.e. the files in the old and new trees have
4513
different id's, the default is the file in the new tree. The user can
4514
use "--name-from-revision" to select the file in the old tree.
4515
(Cheuksan Edward Wang, #30190)
4516
4517
TESTING:
4518
4519
* TestingHTTPRequestHandler really handles the Range header
4520
(previously it was ignoring it and returning the whole file,).

4523
--------------------
4524
4525
INTERNALS:
4526
4527
* Clean up ``bzr selftest --benchmark bundle`` to correct an import,

bzr 0.12rc1 2006-10-23
4532
-----------------------
4533
4534
IMPROVEMENTS:
4535
4536
* ``bzr log`` now shows dotted-decimal revision numbers for all revisions,
4537
rather than just showing a decimal revision number for revisions on the
4538
mainline. These revision numbers are not yet accepted as input into bzr
4539
commands such as log, diff etc. (Robert Collins)
4540
4541
* revisions can now be specified using dotted-decimal revision numbers.
4542
For instance, ``bzr diff -r 1.2.1..1.2.3``. (Robert Collins)
4543
4544
* ``bzr help commands`` output is now shorter (Aaron Bentley)
4545
4546
* ``bzr`` now uses lazy importing to reduce the startup time. This has
4547
a moderate effect on lots of actions, especially ones that have
4548
little to do. For example ``bzr rocks`` time is down to 116ms from
4549
283ms. (John Arbash Meinel)
4550
4551
* New Registry class to provide name-to-object registry-like support,
4552
for example for schemes where plugins can register new classes to
4553
do certain tasks (e.g. log formatters). Also provides lazy registration
4554
to allow modules to be loaded on request.
4555
(John Arbash Meinel, Adeodato Simó)
4556
4557
API INCOMPATABILITY:
4558
4559
* LogFormatter subclasses show now expect the 'revno' parameter to
4560
show() to be a string rather than an int. (Robert Collins)
4561
4562
INTERNALS:
4563
4564
* ``TestCase.run_bzr``, ``run_bzr_captured``, and ``run_bzr_subprocess``
4565
can take a ``working_dir='foo'`` parameter, which will change directory
4566
for the command. (John Arbash Meinel)
4567
4568
* ``bzrlib.lazy_regex.lazy_compile`` can be used to create a proxy
4569
around a regex, which defers compilation until first use.
4570
(John Arbash Meinel)
4571
4572
* ``TestCase.run_bzr_subprocess`` defaults to supplying the
4573
``--no-plugins`` parameter to ensure test reproducability, and avoid
4574
problems with system-wide installed plugins. (John Arbash Meinel)
4575
4576
* Unique tree root ids are now supported. Newly created trees still
4577
use the common root id for compatibility with bzr versions before 0.12.
4578
(Aaron Bentley)
4579
4580
* ``WorkingTree.set_root_id(None)`` is now deprecated. Please
4581
pass in ``inventory.ROOT_ID`` if you want the default root id value.
4582
(Robert Collins, John Arbash Meinel)
4583
4584
* New method ``WorkingTree.flush()`` which will write the current memory
4585
inventory out to disk. At the same time, ``read_working_inventory`` will
4586
no longer trash the current tree inventory if it has been modified within
4587
the current lock, and the tree will now ``flush()`` automatically on
4588
``unlock()``. ``WorkingTree.set_root_id()`` has been updated to take
4589
advantage of this functionality. (Robert Collins, John Arbash Meinel)
4590
4591
* ``bzrlib.tsort.merge_sorted`` now accepts ``generate_revnos``. This
4592
parameter will cause it to add another column to its output, which
4593
contains the dotted-decimal revno for each revision, as a tuple.
4594
(Robert Collins)
4595
4596
* ``LogFormatter.show_merge`` is deprecated in favour of
4597
``LogFormatter.show_merge_revno``. (Robert Collins)
4598
4599
BUG FIXES:
4600
4601
* Avoid circular imports by creating a deprecated function for
4602
``bzrlib.tree.RevisionTree``. Callers should have been using
4603
``bzrlib.revisontree.RevisionTree`` anyway. (John Arbash Meinel,
4604

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

5204
Robert Collins, Erik Bågfors, #43959)
5205
5206
* Nicer messages from 'commit' in the case of renames, and correct
5207
messages when a merge has occured. (Robert Collins, Martin Pool)
5208
5209
* Separate functionality from assert statements as they are skipped in
5210
optimized mode of python. Add the same check to pending merges.

CHANGES:
5223
5224
* Make editor invocation comply with Debian Policy. First check
5225
environment variables VISUAL and EDITOR, then try editor from

5227
list of editors. (Olaf Conradi, #42904)
5228
5229
NEW FEATURES:
5230
5231
* New 'register-branch' command registers a public branch into
5232
Launchpad.net, where it can be associated with bugs, etc.

5246
bzr 0.8 2006-05-08
5247
-------------------
5248
5249
NOTES WHEN UPGRADING:
5250
5251
Release 0.8 of bzr introduces a new format for history storage, called
5252
'knit', as an evolution of to the 'weave' format used in 0.7. Local
5253
and remote operations are faster using knits than weaves. Several
5254
operations including 'init', 'init-repo', and 'upgrade' take a
5255
--format option that controls this. Branching from an existing branch
5256
will keep the same format.
5257
5258
It is possible to merge, pull and push between branches of different
5259
formats but this is slower than moving data between homogenous
5260
branches. It is therefore recommended (but not required) that you
5261
upgrade all branches for a project at the same time. Information on
5262
formats is shown by 'bzr info'.
5263
5264
bzr 0.8 now allows creation of 'repositories', which hold the history
5265
of files and revisions for several branches. Previously bzr kept all
5266
the history for a branch within the .bzr directory at the root of the
5267
branch, and this is still the default. To create a repository, use
5268
the new 'bzr init-repo' command. Branches exist as directories under
5269
the repository and contain just a small amount of information
5270
indicating the current revision of the branch.
5271
5272
bzr 0.8 also supports 'checkouts', which are similar to in cvs and
5273
subversion. Checkouts are associated with a branch (optionally in a
5274
repository), which contains all the historical information. The
5275
result is that a checkout can be deleted without losing any
5276
already-committed revisions. A new 'update' command is also available.
5277
5278
Repositories and checkouts are not supported with the 0.7 storage
5279
format. To use them you must upgrad to either knits, or to the
5280
'metaweave' format, which uses weaves but changes the .bzr directory
5281
arrangement.
5282
5283
5284
IMPROVEMENTS:
5285
5286
* Sftp paths can now be relative, or local, according to the lftp
5287
convention. Paths now take the form::
5288
5289
sftp://user:pass@host:port/~/relative/path
5290
or
5291
sftp://user:pass@host:port/absolute/path
5292
5293
* The FTP transport now tries to reconnect after a temporary
5294
failure. ftp put is made atomic. (Matthieu Moy)
5295
5296
* The FTP transport now maintains a pool of connections, and
5297
reuses them to avoid multiple connections to the same host (like
5298
sftp did). (Daniel Silverstone)
5299
5300
* The ``bzr_man.py`` file has been removed. To create the man page now,
5301
use ``./generate_docs.py man``. The new program can also create other files.
5302
Run ``python generate_docs.py --help`` for usage information.
5303
(Hans Ulrich Niedermann & James Blackwell).
5304
5305
* Man Page now gives full help (James Blackwell).
5306
Help also updated to reflect user config now being stored in .bazaar
5307
(Hans Ulrich Niedermann)
5308
5309
* It's now possible to set aliases in bazaar.conf (Erik Bågfors)
5310
5311
* Pull now accepts a --revision argument (Erik Bågfors)
5312
5313
* ``bzr re-sign`` now allows multiple revisions to be supplied on the command
5314
line. You can now use the following command to sign all of your old
5315
commits::
5316
5317
find .bzr/revision-store// -name my@email-* \
5318
| sed 's/.*\/\/..\///' \
5319
| xargs bzr re-sign
5320
5321
* Upgrade can now upgrade over the network. (Robert Collins)
5322
5323
* Two new commands 'bzr checkout' and 'bzr update' allow for CVS/SVN-alike
5324
behaviour. By default they will cache history in the checkout, but
5325
with --lightweight almost all data is kept in the master branch.
5326
(Robert Collins)
5327
5328
* 'revert' unversions newly-versioned files, instead of deleting them.
5329
5330
* 'merge' is more robust. Conflict messages have changed.
5331
5332
* 'merge' and 'revert' no longer clobber existing files that end in '~' or
5333
'.moved'.
5334
5335
* Default log format can be set in configuration and plugins can register
5336
their own formatters. (Erik Bågfors)
5337
5338
* New 'reconcile' command will check branch consistency and repair indexes
5339
that can become out of sync in pre 0.8 formats. (Robert Collins,
5340
Daniel Silverstone)
5341
5342
* New 'bzr init --format' and 'bzr upgrade --format' option to control
5343
what storage format is created or produced. (Robert Collins,
5344
Martin Pool)
5345
5346
* Add parent location to 'bzr info', if there is one. (Olaf Conradi)
5347
5348
* New developer commands 'weave-list' and 'weave-join'. (Martin Pool)
5349
5350
* New 'init-repository' command, plus support for repositories in 'init'
5351
and 'branch' (Aaron Bentley, Erik Bågfors, Robert Collins)
5352
5353
* Improve output of 'info' command. Show all relevant locations related to
5354
working tree, branch and repository. Use kibibytes for binary quantities.
5355
Fix off-by-one error in missing revisions of working tree. Make 'info'
5356
work on branches, repositories and remote locations. Show locations
5357
relative to the shared repository, if applicable. Show locking status
5358
of locations. (Olaf Conradi)
5359
5360
* Diff and merge now safely handle binary files. (Aaron Bentley)
5361
5362
* 'pull' and 'push' now normalise the revision history, so that any two
5363
branches with the same tip revision will have the same output from 'log'.
5364
(Robert Collins)
5365
5366
* 'merge' accepts --remember option to store parent location, like 'push'
5367
and 'pull'. (Olaf Conradi)
5368
5369
* bzr status and diff when files given as arguments do not exist
5370
in the relevant trees. (Martin Pool, #3619)
5371
5372
* Add '.hg' to the default ignore list. (Martin Pool)
5373
5374
* 'knit' is now the default disk format. This improves disk performance and
5375
utilization, increases incremental pull performance, robustness with SFTP
5376
and allows checkouts over SFTP to perform acceptably.
5377
The initial Knit code was contributed by Johan Rydberg based on a
5378
specification by Martin Pool.
5379
(Robert Collins, Aaron Bentley, Johan Rydberg, Martin Pool).
5380
5381
* New tool to generate all-in-one html version of the manual. (Alexander
5382
Belchenko)
5383
5384
* Hitting CTRL-C while doing an SFTP push will no longer cause stale locks
5385
to be left in the SFTP repository. (Robert Collins, Martin Pool).
5386
5387
* New option 'diff --prefix' to control how files are named in diff
5388
output, with shortcuts '-p0' and '-p1' corresponding to the options for
5389
GNU patch. (Alexander Belchenko, Goffredo Baroncelli, Martin Pool)
5390
5391
* Add --revision option to 'annotate' command. (Olaf Conradi)
5392
5393
* If bzr shows an unexpected revision-history after pulling (perhaps due
5394
to a reweave) it can now be corrected by 'bzr reconcile'.
5395
(Robert Collins)
5396
5397
CHANGES:
5398
5399
* Commit is now verbose by default, and shows changed filenames and the
5400
new revision number. (Robert Collins, Martin Pool)
5401
5402
* Unify 'mv', 'move', 'rename'. (Matthew Fuller, #5379)
5403
5404
* 'bzr -h' shows help. (Martin Pool, Ian Bicking, #35940)
5405
5406
* Make 'pull' and 'push' remember location on failure using --remember.
5407
(Olaf Conradi)
5408
5409
* For compatibility, make old format for using weaves inside metadir
5410
available as 'metaweave' format. Rename format 'metadir' to 'default'.
5411
Clean up help for option --format in commands 'init', 'init-repo' and
5412
'upgrade'. (Olaf Conradi)
5413
5414
INTERNALS:
5415
5416
* The internal storage of history, and logical branch identity have now
5417
been split into Branch, and Repository. The common locking and file
5418
management routines are now in bzrlib.lockablefiles.
5419
(Aaron Bentley, Robert Collins, Martin Pool)
5420
5421
* Transports can now raise DependencyNotPresent if they need a library
5422
which is not installed, and then another implementation will be
5423
tried. (Martin Pool)
5424
5425
* Remove obsolete (and no-op) `decode` parameter to `Transport.get`.
5426
(Martin Pool)
5427
5428
* Using Tree Transform for merge, revert, tree-building
5429
5430
* WorkingTree.create, Branch.create, ``WorkingTree.create_standalone``,
5431
Branch.initialize are now deprecated. Please see ``BzrDir.create_*`` for
5432
replacement API's. (Robert Collins)
5433
5434
* New BzrDir class represents the .bzr control directory and manages
5435
formatting issues. (Robert Collins)
5436
5437
* New repository.InterRepository class encapsulates Repository to
5438
Repository actions and allows for clean selection of optimised code
5439
paths. (Robert Collins)
5440
5441
* ``bzrlib.fetch.fetch`` and ``bzrlib.fetch.greedy_fetch`` are now
5442
deprecated, please use ``branch.fetch`` or ``repository.fetch``
5443
depending on your needs. (Robert Collins)
5444
5445
* deprecated methods now have a ``is_deprecated`` flag on them that can
5446
be checked, if you need to determine whether a given callable is
5447
deprecated at runtime. (Robert Collins)
5448
5449
* Progress bars are now nested - see
5450
``bzrlib.ui.ui_factory.nested_progress_bar``.
5451
(Robert Collins, Robey Pointer)
5452
5453
* New API call ``get_format_description()`` for each type of format.
5454
(Olaf Conradi)
5455
5456
* Changed ``branch.set_parent()`` to accept None to remove parent.
5457
(Olaf Conradi)
5458
5459
* Deprecated BzrError AmbiguousBase. (Olaf Conradi)
5460
5461
* WorkingTree.branch is now a read only property. (Robert Collins)
5462
5463
* bzrlib.ui.text.TextUIFactory now accepts a ``bar_type`` parameter which
5464
can be None or a factory that will create a progress bar. This is
5465
useful for testing or for overriding the bzrlib.progress heuristic.
5466
(Robert Collins)
5467
5468
* New API method ``get_physical_lock_status()`` to query locks present on a
5469
transport. (Olaf Conradi)
5470
5471
* Repository.reconcile now takes a thorough keyword parameter to allow
5472
requesting an indepth reconciliation, rather than just a data-loss
5473
check. (Robert Collins)
5474
5475
* ``bzrlib.ui.ui_factory protocol`` now supports ``get_boolean`` to prompt
5476
the user for yes/no style input. (Robert Collins)
5477
5478
TESTING:
5479
5480
* SFTP tests now shortcut the SSH negotiation, reducing test overhead
5481
for testing SFTP protocol support. (Robey Pointer)
5482
5483
* Branch formats are now tested once per implementation (see ``bzrlib.
5484
tests.branch_implementations``. This is analagous to the transport
5485
interface tests, and has been followed up with working tree,
5486
repository and BzrDir tests. (Robert Collins)
5487
5488
* New test base class TestCaseWithTransport provides a transport aware
5489
test environment, useful for testing any transport-interface using
5490
code. The test suite option --transport controls the transport used
5491
by this class (when its not being used as part of implementation
5492
contract testing). (Robert Collins)
5493
5494
* Close logging handler on disabling the test log. This will remove the
5495
handler from the internal list inside python's logging module,
5496
preventing shutdown from closing it twice. (Olaf Conradi)
5497
5498
* Move test case for uncommit to blackbox tests. (Olaf Conradi)
5499
5500
* ``run_bzr`` and ``run_bzr_captured`` now accept a 'stdin="foo"'
5501
parameter which will provide String("foo") to the command as its stdin.

5504
------------------

5506
CHANGES:
5507
5508
* .bzrignore is excluded from exports, on the grounds that it's a bzr
5509
internal-use file and may not be wanted. (Jamie Wilkinson)
5510
5511
* The "bzr directories" command were removed in favor of the new
5512
--kind option to the "bzr inventory" command. To list all
5513
versioned directories, now use "bzr inventory --kind directory".
5514
(Johan Rydberg)
5515
5516
* Under Windows configuration directory is now ``%APPDATA%\bazaar\2.0``
5517
by default. (John Arbash Meinel)
5518
5519
* The parent of Bzr configuration directory can be set by ``BZR_HOME``
5520
environment variable. Now the path for it is searched in ``BZR_HOME``,
5521
then in HOME. Under Windows the order is: ``BZR_HOME``, ``APPDATA``
5522
(usually points to ``C:\Documents and Settings\User Name\Application Data``),
5523
``HOME``. (John Arbash Meinel)
5524
5525
* Plugins with the same name in different directories in the bzr plugin
5526
path are no longer loaded: only the first successfully loaded one is
5527
used. (Robert Collins)
5528
5529
* Use systems' external ssh command to open connections if possible.
5530
This gives better integration with user settings such as ProxyCommand.
5531
(James Henstridge)
5532
5533
* Permissions on files underneath .bzr/ are inherited from the .bzr
5534
directory. So for a shared repository, simply doing 'chmod -R g+w .bzr/'
5535
will mean that future file will be created with group write permissions.
5536
5537
* configure.in and config.guess are no longer in the builtin default
5538
ignore list.
5539
5540
* '.sw[nop]' pattern ignored, to ignore vim swap files for nameless
5541
files. (John Arbash Meinel, Martin Pool)
5542
5543
IMPROVEMENTS:
5544
5545
* "bzr INIT dir" now initializes the specified directory, and creates
5546
it if it does not exist. (John Arbash Meinel)
5547
5548
* New remerge command (Aaron Bentley)
5549
5550
* Better zsh completion script. (Steve Borho)
5551
5552
* 'bzr diff' now returns 1 when there are changes in the working
5553
tree. (Robert Collins)
5554
5555
* 'bzr push' now exists and can push changes to a remote location.
5556
This uses the transport infrastructure, and can store the remote
5557
location in the ~/.bazaar/branches.conf configuration file.
5558
(Robert Collins)
5559
5560
* Test directories are only kept if the test fails and the user requests
5561
that they be kept.
5562
5563
* Tweaks to short log printing
5564
5565
* Added branch nicks, new nick command, printing them in log output.
5566
(Aaron Bentley)
5567
5568
* If ``$BZR_PDB`` is set, pop into the debugger when an uncaught exception
5569
occurs. (Martin Pool)
5570
5571
* Accept 'bzr resolved' (an alias for 'bzr resolve'), as this is
5572
the same as Subversion. (Martin Pool)
5573
5574
* New ftp transport support (on ftplib), for ftp:// and aftp://
5575
URLs. (Daniel Silverstone)
5576
5577
* Commit editor temporary files now start with ``bzr_log.``, to allow
5578
text editors to match the file name and set up appropriate modes or
5579
settings. (Magnus Therning)
5580
5581
* Improved performance when integrating changes from a remote weave.
5582
(Goffredo Baroncelli)
5583
5584
* Sftp will attempt to cache the connection, so it is more likely that
5585
a connection will be reused, rather than requiring multiple password
5586
requests.
5587
5588
* bzr revno now takes an optional argument indicating the branch whose
5589
revno should be printed. (Michael Ellerman)
5590
5591
* bzr cat defaults to printing the last version of the file.
5592
(Matthieu Moy, #3632)
5593
5594
* New global option 'bzr --lsprof COMMAND' runs bzr under the lsprof
5595
profiler. (Denys Duchier)
5596
5597
* Faster commits by reading only the headers of affected weave files.
5598
(Denys Duchier)
5599
5600
* 'bzr add' now takes a --dry-run parameter which shows you what would be
5601
added, but doesn't actually add anything. (Michael Ellerman)
5602
5603
* 'bzr add' now lists how many files were ignored per glob. add --verbose
5604
lists the specific files. (Aaron Bentley)
5605
5606
* 'bzr missing' now supports displaying changes in diverged trees and can
5607
be limited to show what either end of the comparison is missing.
5608
(Aaron Bently, with a little prompting from Daniel Silverstone)
5609
5610
BUG FIXES:
5611
5612
* SFTP can walk up to the root path without index errors. (Robert Collins)
5613
5614
* Fix bugs in running bzr with 'python -O'. (Martin Pool)
5615
5616
* Error when run with -OO
5617
5618
* Fix bug in reporting http errors that don't have an http error code.
5619
(Martin Pool)
5620
5621
* Handle more cases of pipe errors in display commands
5622
5623
* Change status to 3 for all errors
5624
5625
* Files that are added and unlinked before committing are completely
5626
ignored by diff and status
5627
5628
* Stores with some compressed texts and some uncompressed texts are now
5629
able to be used. (John A Meinel)
5630
5631
* Fix for bzr pull failing sometimes under windows
5632
5633
* Fix for sftp transport under windows when using interactive auth
5634
5635
* Show files which are both renamed and modified as such in 'bzr
5636
status' output. (Daniel Silverstone, #4503)
5637
5638
* Make annotate cope better with revisions committed without a valid
5639
email address. (Marien Zwart)
5640
5641
* Fix representation of tab characters in commit messages.
5642
(Harald Meland)
5643
5644
* List of plugin directories in ``BZR_PLUGIN_PATH`` environment variable is
5645
now parsed properly under Windows. (Alexander Belchenko)
5646
5647
* Show number of revisions pushed/pulled/merged. (Robey Pointer)
5648
5649
* Keep a cached copy of the basis inventory to speed up operations
5650
that need to refer to it. (Johan Rydberg, Martin Pool)
5651
5652
* Fix bugs in bzr status display of non-ascii characters.
5653
(Martin Pool)
5654
5655
* Remove Makefile.in from default ignore list.
5656
(Tollef Fog Heen, Martin Pool, #6413)
5657
5658
* Fix failure in 'bzr added'. (Nathan McCallum, Martin Pool)
5659
5660
TESTING:
5661
5662
* Fix selftest asking for passwords when there are no SFTP keys.
5663
(Robey Pointer, Jelmer Vernooij)
5664
5665
* Fix selftest run with 'python -O'. (Martin Pool)
5666
5667
* Fix HTTP tests under Windows. (John Arbash Meinel)
5668
5669
* Make tests work even if HOME is not set (Aaron Bentley)
5670
5671
* Updated ``build_tree`` to use fixed line-endings for tests which read
5672
the file cotents and compare. Make some tests use this to pass under
5673
Windows. (John Arbash Meinel)
5674
5675
* Skip stat and symlink tests under Windows. (Alexander Belchenko)
5676
5677
* Delay in selftest/testhashcash is now issued under win32 and Cygwin.
5678
(John Arbash Meinel)
5679
5680
* Use terminal width to align verbose test output. (Martin Pool)
5681
5682
* Blackbox tests are maintained within the bzrlib.tests.blackbox directory.
5683
If adding a new test script please add that to
5684
``bzrlib.tests.blackbox.__init__``. (Robert Collins)
5685
5686
* Much better error message if one of the test suites can't be
5687
imported. (Martin Pool)
5688
5689
* Make check now runs the test suite twice - once with the default locale,
5690
and once with all locales forced to C, to expose bugs. This is not
5691
trivially done within python, so for now its only triggered by running
5692
Make check. Integrators and packagers who wish to check for full
5693
platform support should run 'make check' to test the source.
5694
(Robert Collins)
5695
5696
* Tests can now run TestSkipped if they can't execute for any reason.
5697
(Martin Pool) (NB: TestSkipped should only be raised for correctable
5698
reasons - see the wiki spec ImprovingBzrTestSuite).
5699
5700
* Test sftp with relative, absolute-in-homedir and absolute-not-in-homedir
5701
paths for the transport tests. Introduce blackbox remote sftp tests that
5702
test the same permutations. (Robert Collins, Robey Pointer)
5703
5704
* Transport implementation tests are now independent of the local file
5705
system, which allows tests for esoteric transports, and for features
5706
not available in the local file system. They also repeat for variations
5707
on the URL scheme that can introduce issues in the transport code,
5708
see bzrlib.transport.TransportTestProviderAdapter() for this.
5709
(Robert Collins).
5710
5711
* ``TestCase.build_tree`` uses the transport interface to build trees,
5712
pass in a transport parameter to give it an existing connection.
5713
(Robert Collins).
5714
5715
INTERNALS:
5716
5717
* WorkingTree.pull has been split across Branch and WorkingTree,
5718
to allow Branch only pulls. (Robert Collins)
5719
5720
* ``commands.display_command`` now returns the result of the decorated
5721
function. (Robert Collins)
5722
5723
* LocationConfig now has a ``set_user_option(key, value)`` call to save
5724
a setting in its matching location section (a new one is created
5725
if needed). (Robert Collins)
5726
5727
* Branch has two new methods, ``get_push_location`` and
5728
``set_push_location`` to respectively, get and set the push location.
5729
(Robert Collins)
5730
5731
* ``commands.register_command`` now takes an optional flag to signal that
5732
the registrant is planning to decorate an existing command. When
5733
given multiple plugins registering a command is not an error, and
5734
the original command class (whether built in or a plugin based one) is
5735
returned to the caller. There is a new error 'MustUseDecorated' for
5736
signalling when a wrapping command should switch to the original
5737
version. (Robert Collins)
5738
5739
* Some option parsing errors will raise 'BzrOptionError', allowing
5740
granular detection for decorating commands. (Robert Collins).
5741
5742
* ``Branch.read_working_inventory`` has moved to
5743
``WorkingTree.read_working_inventory``. This necessitated changes to
5744
``Branch.get_root_id``, and a move of ``Branch.set_inventory`` to
5745
WorkingTree as well. To make it clear that a WorkingTree cannot always
5746
be obtained ``Branch.working_tree()`` will raise
5747
``errors.NoWorkingTree`` if one cannot be obtained. (Robert Collins)
5748
5749
* All pending merges operations from Branch are now on WorkingTree.
5750
(Robert Collins)
5751
5752
* The follow operations from Branch have moved to WorkingTree::
5753
5754
add()
5755
commit()
5756
move()
5757
rename_one()
5758
unknowns()
5759
5760
(Robert Collins)
5761
5762
* ``bzrlib.add.smart_add_branch`` is now ``smart_add_tree``. (Robert Collins)
5763
5764
* New "rio" serialization format, similar to rfc-822. (Martin Pool)
5765
5766
* Rename selftests to ``bzrlib.tests.test_foo``. (John A Meinel, Martin
5767
Pool)
5768
5769
* ``bzrlib.plugin.all_plugins`` has been changed from an attribute to a
5770
query method. (Robert Collins)
5771
5772
* New options to read only the table-of-contents of a weave.
5773
(Denys Duchier)
5774
5775
* Raise NoSuchFile when someone tries to add a non-existant file.
5776
(Michael Ellerman)
5777
5778
* Simplify handling of DivergedBranches in ``cmd_pull()``.
5779
(Michael Ellerman)
5780
5781
* Branch.controlfile* logic has moved to lockablefiles.LockableFiles, which
5782
is exposed as ``Branch().control_files``. Also this has been altered with the
5783
controlfile pre/suffix replaced by simple method names like 'get' and
5784
'put'. (Aaron Bentley, Robert Collins).
5785
5786
* Deprecated functions and methods can now be marked as such using the
5787
``bzrlib.symbol_versioning`` module. Marked method have their docstring
5788
updated and will issue a DeprecationWarning using the warnings module
5789
when they are used. (Robert Collins)
5790
5791
* ``bzrlib.osutils.safe_unicode`` now exists to provide parameter coercion
5792
for functions that need unicode strings. (Robert Collins)
5793

5795
------------------
5796
5797
IMPROVEMENTS:
5798
5799
* pull now takes --verbose to show you what revisions are added or removed
5800
(John A Meinel)
5801
5802
* merge now takes a --show-base option to include the base text in
5803
conflicts.
5804
(Aaron Bentley)
5805
5806
* The config files are now read using ConfigObj, so '=' should be used as
5807
a separator, not ':'.
5808
(Aaron Bentley)
5809
5810
* New 'bzr commit --strict' option refuses to commit if there are
5811
any unknown files in the tree. To commit, make sure all files are
5812
either ignored, added, or deleted. (Michael Ellerman)
5813
5814
* The config directory is now ~/.bazaar, and there is a single file
5815
~/.bazaar/bazaar.conf storing email, editor and other preferences.
5816
(Robert Collins)
5817
5818
* 'bzr add' no longer takes a --verbose option, and a --quiet option
5819
has been added that suppresses all output.
5820
5821
* Improved zsh completion support in contrib/zsh, from Clint
5822
Adams.
5823
5824
* Builtin 'bzr annotate' command, by Martin Pool with improvements from
5825
Goffredo Baroncelli.
5826
5827
* 'bzr check' now accepts -v for verbose reporting, and checks for
5828
ghosts in the branch. (Robert Collins)
5829
5830
* New command 're-sign' which will regenerate the gpg signature for
5831
a revision. (Robert Collins)
5832
5833
* If you set ``check_signatures=require`` for a path in
5834
``~/.bazaar/branches.conf`` then bzr will invoke your
5835
``gpg_signing_command`` (defaults to gpg) and record a digital signature
5836
of your commit. (Robert Collins)
5837
5838
* New sftp transport, based on Paramiko. (Robey Pointer)
5839
5840
* 'bzr pull' now accepts '--clobber' which will discard local changes
5841
and make this branch identical to the source branch. (Robert Collins)
5842
5843
* Just give a quieter warning if a plugin can't be loaded, and
5844
put the details in .bzr.log. (Martin Pool)
5845
5846
* 'bzr branch' will now set the branch-name to the last component of the
5847
output directory, if one was supplied.
5848
5849
* If the option ``post_commit`` is set to one (or more) python function
5850
names (must be in the bzrlib namespace), then they will be invoked
5851
after the commit has completed, with the branch and ``revision_id`` as
5852
parameters. (Robert Collins)
5853
5854
* Merge now has a retcode of 1 when conflicts occur. (Robert Collins)
5855
5856
* --merge-type weave is now supported for file contents. Tree-shape
5857
changes are still three-way based. (Martin Pool, Aaron Bentley)
5858
5859
* 'bzr check' allows the first revision on revision-history to have
5860
parents - something that is expected for cheap checkouts, and occurs
5861
when conversions from baz do not have all history. (Robert Collins).
5862
5863
* 'bzr merge' can now graft unrelated trees together, if your specify
5864
0 as a base. (Aaron Bentley)
5865
5866
* 'bzr commit branch' and 'bzr commit branch/file1 branch/file2' now work
5867
(Aaron Bentley)
5868
5869
* Add '.sconsign*' to default ignore list. (Alexander Belchenko)
5870
5871
* 'bzr merge --reprocess' minimizes conflicts
5872
5873
TESTING:
5874
5875
* The 'bzr selftest --pattern' option for has been removed, now
5876
test specifiers on the command line can be simple strings, or
5877
regexps, or both. (Robert Collins)
5878
5879
* Passing -v to selftest will now show the time each test took to
5880
complete, which will aid in analysing performance regressions and
5881
related questions. (Robert Collins)
5882
5883
* 'bzr selftest' runs all tests, even if one fails, unless '--one'
5884
is given. (Martin Pool)
5885
5886
* There is a new method for TestCaseInTempDir, assertFileEqual, which
5887
will check that a given content is equal to the content of the named
5888
file. (Robert Collins)
5889
5890
* Fix test suite's habit of leaving many temporary log files in $TMPDIR.
5891
(Martin Pool)
5892
5893
INTERNALS:
5894
5895
* New 'testament' command and concept for making gpg-signatures
5896
of revisions that are not tied to a particular internal
5897
representation. (Martin Pool).
5898
5899
* Per-revision properties ('revprops') as key-value associated
5900
strings on each revision created when the revision is committed.
5901
Intended mainly for the use of external tools. (Martin Pool).
5902
5903
* Config options have moved from bzrlib.osutils to bzrlib.config.
5904
(Robert Collins)
5905
5906
* Improved command line option definitions allowing explanations
5907
for individual options, among other things. Contributed by
5908
Magnus Therning.
5909
5910
* Config options have moved from bzrlib.osutils to bzrlib.config.
5911
Configuration is now done via the config.Config interface:
5912
Depending on whether you have a Branch, a Location or no information
5913
available, construct a ``*Config``, and use its ``signature_checking``,
5914
``username`` and ``user_email`` methods. (Robert Collins)
5915
5916
* Plugins are now loaded under bzrlib.plugins, not bzrlib.plugin, and
5917
they are made available for other plugins to use. You should not
5918
import other plugins during the ``__init__`` of your plugin though, as
5919
no ordering is guaranteed, and the plugins directory is not on the
5920
python path. (Robert Collins)
5921
5922
* Branch.relpath has been moved to WorkingTree.relpath. WorkingTree no
5923
no longer takes an inventory, rather it takes an option branch
5924
parameter, and if None is given will open the branch at basedir
5925
implicitly. (Robert Collins)
5926
5927
* Cleaner exception structure and error reporting. Suggested by
5928
Scott James Remnant. (Martin Pool)
5929
5930
* Branch.remove has been moved to WorkingTree, which has also gained
5931
``lock_read``, ``lock_write`` and ``unlock`` methods for convenience.
5932
(Robert Collins)
5933
5934
* Two decorators, ``needs_read_lock`` and ``needs_write_lock`` have been
5935
added to the branch module. Use these to cause a function to run in a
5936
read or write lock respectively. (Robert Collins)
5937
5938
* ``Branch.open_containing`` now returns a tuple (Branch, relative-path),
5939
which allows direct access to the common case of 'get me this file
5940
from its branch'. (Robert Collins)
5941
5942
* Transports can register using ``register_lazy_transport``, and they
5943
will be loaded when first used. (Martin Pool)
5944
5945
* 'pull' has been factored out of the command as ``WorkingTree.pull()``.
5946
A new option to WorkingTree.pull has been added, clobber, which will
5947
ignore diverged history and pull anyway.
5948
(Robert Collins)
5949
5950
* config.Config has a ``get_user_option`` call that accepts an option name.
5951
This will be looked up in branches.conf and bazaar.conf as normal.
5952
It is intended that this be used by plugins to support options -
5953
options of built in programs should have specific methods on the config.
5954
(Robert Collins)
5955
5956
* ``merge.merge_inner`` now has tempdir as an optional parameter.
5957
(Robert Collins)
5958
5959
* Tree.kind is not recorded at the top level of the hierarchy, as it was
5960
missing on EmptyTree, leading to a bug with merge on EmptyTrees.
5961
(Robert Collins)
5962
5963
* ``WorkingTree.__del__`` has been removed, it was non deterministic and not
5964
doing what it was intended to. See ``WorkingTree.__init__`` for a comment
5965
about future directions. (Robert Collins/Martin Pool)
5966
5967
* bzrlib.transport.http has been modified so that only 404 urllib errors
5968
are returned as NoSuchFile. Other exceptions will propogate as normal.
5969
This allows debuging of actual errors. (Robert Collins)
5970
5971
* bzrlib.transport.Transport now accepts *ONLY* url escaped relative paths
5972
to apis like 'put', 'get' and 'has'. This is to provide consistent
5973
behaviour - it operates on url's only. (Robert Collins)
5974
5975
* Transports can register using ``register_lazy_transport``, and they
5976
will be loaded when first used. (Martin Pool)
5977
5978
* ``merge_flex`` no longer calls ``conflict_handler.finalize()``, instead that
5979
is called by ``merge_inner``. This is so that the conflict count can be
5980
retrieved (and potentially manipulated) before returning to the caller
5981
of ``merge_inner``. Likewise 'merge' now returns the conflict count to the
5982
caller. (Robert Collins)
5983
5984
* ``revision.revision_graph`` can handle having only partial history for
5985
a revision - that is no revisions in the graph with no parents.
5986
(Robert Collins).
5987
5988
* New ``builtins.branch_files`` uses the standard ``file_list`` rules to
5989
produce a branch and a list of paths, relative to that branch
5990
(Aaron Bentley)
5991
5992
* New TestCase.addCleanup facility.
5993
5994
* New ``bzrlib.version_info`` tuple (similar to ``sys.version_info``),
5995
which can be used by programs importing bzrlib.
5996
5997
BUG FIXES:
5998
5999
* Better handling of branches in directories with non-ascii names.
6000
(Joel Rosdahl, Panagiotis Papadakos)
6001
6002
* Upgrades of trees with no commits will not fail due to accessing
6003
[-1] in the revision-history. (Andres Salomon)

6006
bzr 0.1.1 2005-10-12
6007
--------------------
6008
6009
BUG FIXES:
6010
6011
* Fix problem in pulling over http from machines that do not
6012
allow directories to be listed.
6013
6014
* Avoid harmless warning about invalid hash cache after
6015
upgrading branch format.
6016
6017
PERFORMANCE:
6018
6019
* Avoid some unnecessary http operations in branch and pull.
6020
6021
6022
bzr 0.1 2005-10-11
6023
------------------
6024
6025
NOTES:
6026
6027
* 'bzr branch' over http initially gives a very high estimate
6028
of completion time but it should fall as the first few
6029
revisions are pulled in. branch is still slow on
6030
high-latency connections.
6031
6032
BUG FIXES:
6033
6034
* bzr-man.py has been updated to work again. Contributed by
6035
Rob Weir.
6036
6037
* Locking is now done with fcntl.lockf which works with NFS
6038
file systems. Contributed by Harald Meland.
6039
6040
* When a merge encounters a file that has been deleted on
6041
one side and modified on the other, the old contents are
6042
written out to foo.BASE and foo.SIDE, where SIDE is this
6043
or OTHER. Contributed by Aaron Bentley.
6044
6045
* Export was choosing incorrect file paths for the content of
6046
the tarball, this has been fixed by Aaron Bentley.
6047
6048
* Commit will no longer commit without a log message, an
6049
error is returned instead. Contributed by Jelmer Vernooij.
6050
6051
* If you commit a specific file in a sub directory, any of its
6052
parent directories that are added but not listed will be
6053
automatically included. Suggested by Michael Ellerman.
6054
6055
* bzr commit and upgrade did not correctly record new revisions
6056
for files with only a change to their executable status.
6057
bzr will correct this when it encounters it. Fixed by
6058
Robert Collins
6059
6060
* HTTP tests now force off the use of ``http_proxy`` for the duration.
6061
Contributed by Gustavo Niemeyer.
6062
6063
* Fix problems in merging weave-based branches that have
6064
different partial views of history.
6065
6066
* Symlink support: working with symlinks when not in the root of a
6067
bzr tree was broken, patch from Scott James Remnant.
6068
6069
IMPROVEMENTS:
6070
6071
* 'branch' now accepts a --basis parameter which will take advantage
6072
of local history when making a new branch. This allows faster
6073
branching of remote branches. Contributed by Aaron Bentley.
6074
6075
* New tree format based on weave files, called version 5.
6076
Existing branches can be upgraded to this format using
6077
'bzr upgrade'.
6078
6079
* Symlinks are now versionable. Initial patch by
6080
Erik Toubro Nielsen, updated to head by Robert Collins.
6081
6082
* Executable bits are tracked on files. Patch from Gustavo
6083
Niemeyer.
6084
6085
* 'bzr status' now shows unknown files inside a selected directory.
6086
Patch from Heikki Paajanen.
6087
6088
* Merge conflicts are recorded in .bzr. Two new commands 'conflicts'
6089
and 'resolve' have needed added, which list and remove those
6090
merge conflicts respectively. A conflicted tree cannot be committed
6091
in. Contributed by Aaron Bentley.
6092
6093
* 'rm' is now an alias for 'remove'.
6094
6095
* Stores now split out their content in a single byte prefixed hash,
6096
dropping the density of files per directory by 256. Contributed by
6097
Gustavo Niemeyer.
6098
6099
* 'bzr diff -r branch:URL' will now perform a diff between two branches.
6100
Contributed by Robert Collins.
6101
6102
* 'bzr log' with the default formatter will show merged revisions,
6103
indented to the right. Initial implementation contributed by Gustavo
6104
Niemeyer, made incremental by Robert Collins.
6105
6106
6107
INTERNALS:
6108
6109
* Test case failures have the exception printed after the log
6110
for your viewing pleasure.
6111
6112
* InventoryEntry is now an abstract base class, use one of the
6113
concrete InventoryDirectory etc classes instead.
6114
6115
* Branch raises an UnsupportedFormatError when it detects a
6116
bzr branch it cannot understand. This allows for precise
6117
handling of such circumstances.
6118
6119
* Remove RevisionReference class; ``Revision.parent_ids`` is now simply a
6120
list of their ids and ``parent_sha1s`` is a list of their corresponding
6121
sha1s (for old branches only at the moment.)
6122
6123
* New method-object style interface for Commit() and Fetch().
6124
6125
* Renamed ``Branch.last_patch()`` to ``Branch.last_revision()``, since
6126
we call them revisions not patches.
6127
6128
* Move ``copy_branch`` to ``bzrlib.clone.copy_branch``. The destination
6129
directory is created if it doesn't exist.
6130
6131
* Inventories now identify the files which were present by
6132
giving the revision *of that file*.
6133
6134
* Inventory and Revision XML contains a version identifier.
6135
This must be consistent with the overall branch version
6136
but allows for more flexibility in future upgrades.
6137
6138
TESTING:
6139
6140
* Removed testsweet module so that tests can be run after
6141
bzr installed by 'bzr selftest'.
6142
6143
* 'bzr selftest' command-line arguments can now be partial ids
6144
of tests to run, e.g. ``bzr selftest test_weave``
6145
6146
6147
bzr 0.0.9 2005-09-23
6148
--------------------
6149
6150
BUG FIXES:
6151
6152
* Fixed "branch -r" option.
6153
6154
* Fix remote access to branches containing non-compressed history.
6155
(Robert Collins).
6156
6157
* Better reliability of http server tests. (John Arbash-Meinel)
6158
6159
* Merge graph maximum distance calculation fix. (Aaron Bentley)
6160
6161
* Various minor bug in windows support have been fixed, largely in the
6162
test suite. Contributed by Alexander Belchenko.
6163
6164
IMPROVEMENTS:
6165
6166
* Status now accepts a -r argument to give status between chosen
6167
revisions. Contributed by Heikki Paajanen.
6168
6169
* Revision arguments no longer use +/-/= to control ranges, instead
6170
there is a 'before' namespace, which limits the successive namespace.
6171
For example '$ bzr log -r date:yesterday..before:date:today' will
6172
select everything from yesterday and before today. Contributed by
6173
Robey Pointer
6174
6175
* There is now a bzr.bat file created by distutils when building on
6176
Windows. Contributed by Alexander Belchenko.
6177
6178
INTERNALS:
6179
6180
* Removed uuid() as it was unused.
6181
6182
* Improved 'fetch' code for pulling revisions from one branch into
6183
another (used by pull, merged, etc.)
6184
6185
6186
bzr 0.0.8 2005-09-20
6187
--------------------
6188
6189
IMPROVEMENTS:
6190
6191
* Adding a file whose parent directory is not versioned will
6192
implicitly add the parent, and so on up to the root. This means
6193
you should never need to explictly add a directory, they'll just
6194
get added when you add a file in the directory. Contributed by
6195
Michael Ellerman.
6196
6197
* Ignore ``.DS_Store`` (contains Mac metadata) by default.
6198
(Nir Soffer)
6199
6200
* If you set ``BZR_EDITOR`` in the environment, it is checked in
6201
preference to EDITOR and the config file for the interactive commit
6202
editing program. Related to this is a bugfix where a missing program
6203
set in EDITOR would cause editing to fail, now the fallback program
6204
for the operating system is still tried.
6205
6206
* Files that are not directories/symlinks/regular files will no longer
6207
cause bzr to fail, it will just ignore them by default. You cannot add
6208
them to the tree though - they are not versionable.
6209
6210
6211
INTERNALS:
6212
6213
* Refactor xml packing/unpacking.
6214
6215
BUG FIXES:
6216
6217
* Fixed 'bzr mv' by Ollie Rutherfurd.
6218
6219
* Fixed strange error when trying to access a nonexistent http
6220
branch.
6221
6222
* Make sure that the hashcache gets written out if it can't be
6223
read.
6224
6225
6226
PORTABILITY:
6227
6228
* Various Windows fixes from Ollie Rutherfurd.
6229
6230
* Quieten warnings about locking; patch from Matt Lavin.
6231
6232
6233
bzr-0.0.7 2005-09-02
6234
--------------------
6235
6236
NEW FEATURES:
6237
6238
* ``bzr shell-complete`` command contributed by Clint Adams to
6239
help with intelligent shell completion.
6240
6241
* New expert command ``bzr find-merge-base`` for debugging merges.
6242
6243
6244
ENHANCEMENTS:
6245
6246
* Much better merge support.
6247
6248
* merge3 conflicts are now reported with markers like '<<<<<<<'
6249
(seven characters) which is the same as CVS and pleases things
6250
like emacs smerge.
6251
6252
6253
BUG FIXES:
6254
6255
* ``bzr upgrade`` no longer fails when trying to fix trees that
6256
mention revisions that are not present.
6257
6258
* Fixed bugs in listing plugins from ``bzr plugins``.
6259
6260
* Fix case of $EDITOR containing options for the editor.
6261
6262
* Fix log -r refusing to show the last revision.
6263
(Patch from Goffredo Baroncelli.)
6264
6265
6266
CHANGES:
6267
6268
* ``bzr log --show-ids`` shows the revision ids of all parents.
6269
6270
* Externally provided commands on your $BZRPATH no longer need
6271
to recognize --bzr-usage to work properly, and can just handle
6272
--help themselves.
6273
6274
6275
LIBRARY:
6276
6277
* Changed trace messages to go through the standard logging
6278
framework, so that they can more easily be redirected by
6279
libraries.
6280
6281
6282
6283
bzr-0.0.6 2005-08-18
6284
--------------------
6285
6286
NEW FEATURES:
6287
6288
* Python plugins, automatically loaded from the directories on
6289
``BZR_PLUGIN_PATH`` or ``~/.bzr.conf/plugins`` by default.
6290
6291
* New 'bzr mkdir' command.
6292
6293
* Commit mesage is fetched from an editor if not given on the
6294
command line; patch from Torsten Marek.
6295
6296
* ``bzr log -m FOO`` displays commits whose message matches regexp
6297
FOO.
6298
6299
* ``bzr add`` with no arguments adds everything under the current directory.
6300
6301
* ``bzr mv`` does move or rename depending on its arguments, like
6302
the Unix command.
6303
6304
* ``bzr missing`` command shows a summary of the differences
6305
between two trees. (Merged from John Arbash-Meinel.)
6306
6307
* An email address for commits to a particular tree can be
6308
specified by putting it into .bzr/email within a branch. (Based
6309
on a patch from Heikki Paajanen.)
6310
6311
6312
ENHANCEMENTS:
6313
6314
* Faster working tree operations.
6315
6316
6317
CHANGES:
6318
6319
* 3rd-party modules shipped with bzr are copied within the bzrlib
6320
python package, so that they can be installed by the setup
6321
script without clashing with anything already existing on the
6322
system. (Contributed by Gustavo Niemeyer.)
6323
6324
* Moved plugins directory to bzrlib/, so that there's a standard
6325
plugin directory which is not only installed with bzr itself but
6326
is also available when using bzr from the development tree.
6327
``BZR_PLUGIN_PATH`` and ``DEFAULT_PLUGIN_PATH`` are then added to the
6328
standard plugins directory.
6329
6330
* When exporting to a tarball with ``bzr export --format tgz``, put
6331
everything under a top directory rather than dumping it into the
6332
current directory. This can be overridden with the ``--root``
6333
option. Patch from William Dodé and John Meinel.
6334
6335
* New ``bzr upgrade`` command to upgrade the format of a branch,
6336
replacing ``bzr check --update``.
6337
6338
* Files within store directories are no longer marked readonly on
6339
disk.
6340
6341
* Changed ``bzr log`` output to a more compact form suggested by
6342
John A Meinel. Old format is available with the ``--long`` or
6343
``-l`` option, patched by William Dodé.
6344
6345
* By default the commit command refuses to record a revision with
6346
no changes unless the ``--unchanged`` option is given.
6347
6348
* The ``--no-plugins``, ``--profile`` and ``--builtin`` command
6349
line options must come before the command name because they
6350
affect what commands are available; all other options must come
6351
after the command name because their interpretation depends on
6352
it.
6353
6354
* ``branch`` and ``clone`` added as aliases for ``branch``.
6355
6356
* Default log format is back to the long format; the compact one
6357
is available with ``--short``.
6358
6359
6360
BUG FIXES:
6361
6362
* Fix bugs in committing only selected files or within a subdirectory.
6363
6364
6365
bzr-0.0.5 2005-06-15
6366
---------------------
6367
6368
CHANGES:
6369
6370
* ``bzr`` with no command now shows help rather than giving an
6371
error. Suggested by Michael Ellerman.
6372
6373
* ``bzr status`` output format changed, because svn-style output
6374
doesn't really match the model of bzr. Now files are grouped by
6375
status and can be shown with their IDs. ``bzr status --all``
6376
shows all versioned files and unknown files but not ignored files.
6377
6378
* ``bzr log`` runs from most-recent to least-recent, the reverse
6379
of the previous order. The previous behaviour can be obtained
6380
with the ``--forward`` option.
6381
6382
* ``bzr inventory`` by default shows only filenames, and also ids
6383
if ``--show-ids`` is given, in which case the id is the second
6384
field.
6385
6386
6387
ENHANCEMENTS:
6388
6389
* New 'bzr whoami --email' option shows only the email component
6390
of the user identification, from Jo Vermeulen.
6391
6392
* New ``bzr ignore PATTERN`` command.
6393
6394
* Nicer error message for broken pipe, interrupt and similar
6395
conditions that don't indicate an internal error.
6396
6397
* Add ``.*.sw[nop] .git .*.tmp *,v`` to default ignore patterns.
6398
6399
* Per-branch locks keyed on ``.bzr/branch-lock``, available in
6400
either read or write mode.
6401
6402
* New option ``bzr log --show-ids`` shows revision and file ids.
6403
6404
* New usage ``bzr log FILENAME`` shows only revisions that
6405
affected that file.
6406
6407
* Changed format for describing changes in ``bzr log -v``.
6408
6409
* New option ``bzr commit --file`` to take a message from a file,
6410
suggested by LarstiQ.
6411
6412
* New syntax ``bzr status [FILE...]`` contributed by Bartosz
6413
Oler. File may be in a branch other than the working directory.
6414
6415
* ``bzr log`` and ``bzr root`` can be given an http URL instead of
6416
a filename.
6417
6418
* Commands can now be defined by external programs or scripts
6419
in a directory on $BZRPATH.
6420
6421
* New "stat cache" avoids reading the contents of files if they
6422
haven't changed since the previous time.
6423
6424
* If the Python interpreter is too old, try to find a better one
6425
or give an error. Based on a patch from Fredrik Lundh.
6426
6427
* New optional parameter ``bzr info [BRANCH]``.
6428
6429
* New form ``bzr commit SELECTED`` to commit only selected files.
6430
6431
* New form ``bzr log -r FROM:TO`` shows changes in selected
6432
range; contributed by John A Meinel.
6433
6434
* New option ``bzr diff --diff-options 'OPTS'`` allows passing
6435
options through to an external GNU diff.
6436
6437
* New option ``bzr add --no-recurse`` to add a directory but not
6438
their contents.
6439
6440
* ``bzr --version`` now shows more information if bzr is being run
6441
from a branch.
6442
6443
6444
BUG FIXES:
6445
6446
* Fixed diff format so that added and removed files will be
6447
handled properly by patch. Fix from Lalo Martins.
6448
6449
* Various fixes for files whose names contain spaces or other
6450
metacharacters.
6451
6452
6453
TESTING:
6454
6455
* Converted black-box test suites from Bourne shell into Python;
6456
now run using ``./testbzr``. Various structural improvements to
6457
the tests.
6458
6459
* testbzr by default runs the version of bzr found in the same
6460
directory as the tests, or the one given as the first parameter.
6461
6462
* testbzr also runs the internal tests, so the only command
6463
required to check is just ``./testbzr``.
6464
6465
* testbzr requires python2.4, but can be used to test bzr running
6466
under a different version.
6467
6468
* Tests added for many other changes in this release.
6469
6470
6471
INTERNAL:
6472
6473
* Included ElementTree library upgraded to 1.2.6 by Fredrik Lundh.
6474
6475
* Refactor command functions into Command objects based on HCT by
6476
Scott James Remnant.
6477
6478
* Better help messages for many commands.
6479
6480
* Expose ``bzrlib.open_tracefile()`` to start the tracefile; until
6481
this is called trace messages are just discarded.
6482
6483
* New internal function ``find_touching_revisions()`` and hidden
6484
command touching-revisions trace the changes to a given file.
6485
6486
* Simpler and faster ``compare_inventories()`` function.
6487
6488
* ``bzrlib.open_tracefile()`` takes a tracefilename parameter.
6489
6490
* New AtomicFile class.
6491
6492
* New developer commands ``added``, ``modified``.
6493
6494
6495
PORTABILITY:
6496
6497
* Cope on Windows on python2.3 by using the weaker random seed.
6498
2.4 is now only recommended.

ENHANCEMENTS:
6505
6506
* 'bzr diff' optionally takes a list of files to diff. Still a bit
6507
basic. Patch from QuantumG.
6508
6509
* More default ignore patterns.
6510
6511
* New 'bzr log --verbose' shows a list of files changed in the
6512
changeset. Patch from Sebastian Cote.
6513
6514
* Roll over ~/.bzr.log if it gets too large.
6515
6516
* Command abbreviations 'ci', 'st', 'stat', '?' based on a patch
6517
by Jason Diamon.
6518
6519
* New 'bzr help commands' based on a patch from Denys Duchier.
6520
6521
6522
CHANGES:
6523
6524
* User email is determined by looking at $BZREMAIL or ~/.bzr.email
6525
or $EMAIL. All are decoded by the locale preferred encoding.
6526
If none of these are present user@hostname is used. The host's
6527
fully-qualified name is not used because that tends to fail when
6528
there are DNS problems.
6529
6530
* New 'bzr whoami' command instead of username user-email.
6531
6532
6533
BUG FIXES:
6534
6535
* Make commit safe for hardlinked bzr trees.
6536
6537

* Partial workaround for ``difflib.unified_diff`` not handling
6540
trailing newlines properly.
6541
6542
6543
INTERNAL:
6544
6545
* Allow docstrings for help to be in PEP0257 format. Patch from
6546
Matt Brubeck.
6547
6548
* More tests in test.sh.
6549
6550
* Write profile data to a temporary file not into working
6551
directory and delete it when done.
6552
6553
* Smaller .bzr.log with process ids.
6554
6555
6556
PORTABILITY:
6557

6559
Bennetts.

6585

6586
6587
* .bzr.log is placed in $HOME (not pwd) and is always written in
6588
UTF-8. (Probably not a completely good long-term solution, but
6589
will do for now.)
6590
6591
PORTABILITY:
6592
6593
* Workaround for difflib bug in Python 2.3 that causes an
6594
exception when comparing empty files. Reported by Erik Toubro
6595
Nielsen.

6630
6631
* New 'ignored' command lists which files are ignored and why;
6632
'deleted' lists files deleted in the current working tree.
6633
6634
* Performance improvements.
6635
6636
* New global --profile option.
6637
6638
