IN DEVELOPMENT
8
--------------
9
10
CHANGES:
11
12
IMPROVEMENTS:
13
14
* ``bzr init`` and ``bzr init-repo`` will now print out the same as
15
``bzr info`` if it completed successfully.
16
(Marius Kruger)
17
18
BUG FIXES:
19
20
* ``WorkingTree4`` trees will now correctly report missing-and-new
21
paths in the output of ``iter_changes``. (Robert Collins)
22
23
API CHANGES:
24
25
* Exporters now take 4 parameters. (Robert Collins)
26
27
* ``Tree.iter_changes`` will now return False for the content change
28
field when a file is missing in the basis tree and not present in
29
the target tree. Previously it returned True unconditionally.
30
(Robert Collins)
31
32
TESTING:
33
34
* ``addCleanup`` now takes ``*arguments`` and ``**keyword_arguments``
35
which are then passed to the cleanup callable as it is run. In
36
addition, addCleanup no longer requires that the callables passed to
37
it be unique. (Jonathan Lange)
38
39
INTERNALS:
40
41
* ``bzrlib.diff.DiffTree.show_diff`` now skips changes where the kind
42
is unknown in both source and target.
43
(Robert Collins, Aaron Bentley)
44
45
46
bzr 1.6rc3 2008-08-14
47
---------------------
48
49
CHANGES:
50
51
* Disable reading ``.bzrrules`` as a per-branch rule preferences
52
file. The feature was not quite ready for a full release.
53
(Robert Collins)
54
55
IMPROVEMENTS:
56
57
* Update the windows installer to bundle TortoiseBzr and ``qbzr``
58
into the standalone installer. This will be the first official
59
windows release that installs Tortoise by default.
60
(Mark Hammond)
61
62
BUG FIXES:
63
64
* Fix a regression in ``bzr+http`` support. There was a missing
65
function (``_read_line``) that needed to be carried over from
66
``bzr+ssh`` support. (Andrew Bennetts)
67
68
* ``GraphIndex`` objects will internally read an entire index if more
69
than 1/20th of their keyspace is requested in a single operation.
70
This largely mitigates a performance regression in ``bzr log FILE``
71
and completely corrects the performance regression in ``bzr log``.
72
The regression was caused by removing an accomodation which had been
73
supporting the index format in use. A newer index format is in
74
development which is substantially faster. (Robert Collins)
75
76
77
bzr 1.6rc2 2008-08-13
78
---------------------
79
80
This release candidate has a few minor bug fixes, and some regression
81
fixes for Windows.
82
83
* ``bzr export`` can now export a subdirectory of a project.
84
(Robert Collins)
85
86
BUG FIXES:
87
88
* ``bzr upgrade`` on remote branches accessed via bzr:// and
89
bzr+ssh:// now works. (Andrew Bennetts)
90
91
* Change the ``get_format_description()`` strings for
92
``RepositoryFormatKnitPack5`` et al to be single line messages.
93
(Aaron Bentley)
94
95
* Fix for a regression on Win32 where we would try to call
96
``os.listdir()`` on a file and not catch the exception properly.
97
(Windows raises a different exception.) This would manifest in
98
places like ``bzr rm file`` or ``bzr switch``.
99
(Mark Hammond, John Arbash Meinel)
100
101
* ``Inventory.copy()`` was failing to set the revision property for
102
the root entry. (Jelmer Vernooij)
103
104
* sftp transport: added missing ``FileExists`` case to
105
``_translate_io_exception`` (Christophe Troestler, #123475)
106
107
* The help for ``bzr ignored`` now suggests ``bzr ls --ignored`` for
108
scripting use. (Robert Collins, #3834)
109
110
* The default ``annotate`` logic will now always assign the
111
last-modified value of a line to one of the revisions that modified
112
it, rather than a merge revision. This would happen when both sides
113
claimed to have modified the line resulting in the same text. The
114
choice is arbitrary but stable, so merges in different directions
115
will get the same results. (John Arbash Meinel, #232188)
116
117
118
bzr 1.6rc1 2008-08-06
119
---------------------
120
121
This release candidate for bzr 1.6 solidifies the new branch stacking
122
feature. Bazaar now recommends that users upgrade all knit repositories,
123
because later formats are much faster. However, we plan to continue read/write and
124
upgrade support for knit repostories for the forseeable future. Several
125
other bugs and performance issues were fixed.
126
127
CHANGES:
128
129
* Knit format repositories are deprecated and bzr will now emit
130
warnings whenever it encounters one. Use ``bzr upgrade`` to upgrade
131
knit repositories to pack format. (Andrew Bennetts)
132
133
IMPROVEMENTS:
134
135
* ``bzr check`` can now be told which elements at a location it should
136
check. (Daniel Watkins)
137
138
* Commit now supports ``--exclude`` (or ``-x``) to exclude some files
139
from the commit. (Robert Collins, #3117)
140
141
* Fetching data between repositories that have the same model but no
142
optimised fetcher will not reserialise all the revisions, increasing
143
performance. (Robert Collins, John Arbash Meinel)
144
145
* Give a more specific error when target branch is not reachable.
146
(James Westby)
147
148
* Implemented a custom ``walkdirs_utf8`` implementation for win32.
149
This uses a pyrex extension to get direct access to the
150
``FindFirstFileW`` style apis, rather than using ``listdir`` +
151
``lstat``. Shows a very strong improvement in commands like
152
``status`` and ``diff`` which have to iterate the working tree.
153
Anywhere from 2x-6x faster depending on the size of the tree (bigger
154
trees, bigger benefit.) (John Arbash Meinel)
155
156
* New registry for log properties handles and the method in
157
LongLogFormatter to display the custom properties returned by the
158
registered handlers. (Guillermo Gonzalez, #162469)
159
160
BUG FIXES:
161
162
* Add more tests that stacking does not create deltas spanning
163
physical repository boundaries.
164
(Martin Pool, #252428)
165
166
* Better message about incompatible repositories.
167
(Martin Pool, #206258)
168
169
* ``bzr branch --stacked`` ensures the destination branch format can
170
support stacking, even if the origin does not.
171
(Martin Pool)
172
173
* ``bzr export`` no longer exports ``.bzrrules``.
174
(Ian Clatworthy)
175
176
* ``bzr serve --directory=/`` now correctly allows the whole
177
filesystem to be accessed on Windows, not just the root of the drive
178
that Python is running from.
179
(Adrian Wilkins, #240910)
180
181
* Deleting directories by hand before running ``bzr rm`` will not
182
cause subsequent errors in ``bzr st`` and ``bzr commit``.
183
(Robert Collins, #150438)
184
185
* Fix a test case that was failing if encoding wasn't UTF-8.
186
(John Arbash Meinel, #247585)
187
188
* Fix "no buffer space available" error when branching with the new
189
smart server protocol to or from Windows.
190
(Andrew Bennetts, #246180)
191
192
* Fixed problem in branching from smart server.
193
(#249256, Michael Hudson, Martin Pool)
194
195
* Handle a file turning in to a directory in TreeTransform.
196
(James Westby, #248448)
197
198
API CHANGES:
199
200
* ``MutableTree.commit`` has an extra optional keywork parameter
201
``exclude`` that will be unconditionally supplied by the command
202
line UI - plugins that add tree formats may need an update.
203
(Robert Collins)
204
205
* The API minimum version for plugin compatibility has been raised to
206
1.6 - there are significant changes throughout the code base.
207
(Robert Collins)
208
209
* The generic fetch code now uses three attributes on Repository objects
210
to control fetch. The streams requested are controlled via :
211
``_fetch_order`` and ``_fetch_uses_deltas``. Setting these
212
appropriately allows different repository implementations to recieve
213
data in their optimial form. If the ``_fetch_reconcile`` is set then
214
a reconcile operation is triggered at the end of the fetch.
215
(Robert Collins)
216
217
* The ``put_on_disk`` and ``get_tar_item`` methods in
218
``InventoryEntry`` were deprecated. (Ian Clatworthy)
219
220
* ``Repository.is_shared`` doesn't take a read lock. It didn't
221
need one in the first place (nobody cached the value, and
222
``RemoteRepository`` wasn't taking one either). This saves a round
223
trip when probing Pack repositories, as they read the ``pack-names``
224
file when locked. And during probe, locking the repo isn't very
225
useful. (John Arbash Meinel)
226
227
INTERNALS:
228
229
* ``bzrlib.branchbuilder.BranchBuilder`` is now much more capable of
230
putting together a real history without having to create a full
231
WorkingTree. It is recommended that tests that are not directly
232
testing the WorkingTree use BranchBuilder instead. See
233
``BranchBuilder.build_snapshot`` or
234
``TestCaseWithMemoryTree.make_branch_builder``. (John Arbash Meinel)
235
236
* ``bzrlib.builtins.internal_tree_files`` broken into two giving a new
237
helper ``safe_relpath_files`` - used by the new ``exclude``
238
parameter to commit. (Robert Collins)
239
240
* Make it easier to introduce new WorkingTree formats.
241
(Ian Clatworthy)
242
243
* The code for exporting trees was refactored not to use the
244
deprecated ``InventoryEntry`` methods. (Ian Clatworthy)
245
246
* RuleSearchers return () instead of [] now when there are no matches.
247
(Ian Clatworthy)
248
249
250
bzr 1.6beta3 2008-07-17
251
-----------------------
252
253
This release adds a new 'stacked branches' feature allowing branches to
254
share storage without being in the same repository or on the same machine.
255
(See the user guide for more details.) It also adds a new hook, improved
256
weaves, aliases for related locations, faster bzr+ssh push, and several
257
bug fixes.
258
259
FEATURES:
260
261
* New ``pre_change_branch_tip`` hook that is called before the
262
branch tip is moved, while the branch is write-locked. See the User
263
Reference for signature details. (Andrew Bennetts)
264
265
* Rule-based preferences can now be defined for selected files in
266
selected branches, allowing commands and plugins to provide
267
custom behaviour for files matching defined patterns.
268
See ``Rule-based preferences`` (part of ``Configuring Bazaar``)
269
in the User Guide and ``bzr help rules`` for more information.
270
(Ian Clatworthy)
271
272
* Sites may suggest a branch to stack new branches on. (Aaron Bentley)
273
274
* Stacked branches are now supported. See ``bzr help branch`` and
275
``bzr help push``. Branches must be in the ``development1`` format
276
to stack, though the stacked-on branch can be of any format.
277
(Robert Collins)
278
279
IMPROVEMENTS:
280
281
* ``bzr export --format=tgz --root=NAME -`` to export a gzipped tarball
282
to stdout; also ``tar`` and ``tbz2``.
283
(Martin Pool)
284
285
* ``bzr (re)merge --weave`` will now use a standard Weave algorithm,
286
rather than the annotation-based merge it was using. It does so by
287
building up a Weave of the important texts, without needing to build
288
the full ancestry. (John Arbash Meinel, #238895)
289
290
* ``bzr send`` documents and better supports ``emacsclient`` (proper
291
escaping of mail headers and handling of the MUA Mew).
292
(Christophe Troestler)
293
294
* Remembered locations can be specified by aliases, e.g. :parent, :public,
295
:submit. (Aaron Bentley)
296
297
* The smart protocol now has improved support for setting branches'
298
revision info directly. This makes operations like push
299
faster. The new request method name is
300
``Branch.set_last_revision_ex``. (Andrew Bennetts)
301
302
BUG FIXES:
303
304
* Bazaar is now able to be a client to the web server of IIS 6 and 7.
305
The broken implementations of RFC822 in Python and RFC2046 in IIS
306
combined with boundary-line checking in Bazaar previously made this
307
impossible. (NB, IIS 5 does not suffer from this problem).
308
(Adrian Wilkins, #247585)
309
310
* ``bzr log --long`` with a ghost in your mainline now handles that
311
ghost properly. (John Arbash Meinel, #243536)
312
313
* ``check`` handles the split-up .bzr layout correctly, so no longer
314
requires a branch to be present.
315
(Daniel Watkins, #64783)
316
317
* Clearer message about how to set the PYTHONPATH if bzrlib can't be
318
loaded.
319
(Martin Pool, #205230)
320
321
* Errors about missing libraries are now shown without a traceback,
322
and with a suggestion to install the library. The full traceback is
323
still in ``.bzr.log`` and can be shown with ``-Derror``.
324
(Martin Pool, #240161)
325
326
* Fetch from a stacked branch copies all required data.
327
(Aaron Bentley, #248506)
328
329
* Handle urls such as ftp://user@host.com@www.host.com where the user
330
name contains an @.
331
(Neil Martinsen-Burrell, #228058)
332
333
* ``needs_read_lock`` and ``needs_write_lock`` now suppress an error during
334
``unlock`` if there was an error in the original function. This helps
335
most when there is a failure with a smart server action, since often the
336
connection closes and we cannot unlock.
337
(Andrew Bennetts, John Arbash Meinel, #125784)
338
339
* Obsolete hidden command ``bzr fetch`` removed.
340
(Martin Pool, #172870)
341
342
* Raise the correct exception when doing ``-rbefore:0`` or ``-c0``.
343
(John Arbash Meinel, #239933)
344
345
* You can now compare file revisions in Windows diff programs from
346
Cygwin Bazaar.
347
(Matt McClure, #209281)
348
349
* revision_history now tolerates mainline ghosts for Branch format 6.
350
(Aaron Bentley, #235055)
351
352
* Set locale from environment for third party libs.
353
(Martin von Gagern, #128496)
354
355
DOCUMENTATION:
356
357
* Added *Using stacked branches* to the User Guide.
358
(Ian Clatworthy)
359
360
* Updated developer documentation.
361
(Martin Pool)
362
363
TESTING:
364
365
* ``-Dmemory`` will cause /proc/PID/status to be catted before bzr
366
exits, allowing low-key analysis of peak memory use. (Robert Collins)
367
368
* ``TestCaseWithTransport.make_branch_and_tree`` tries harder to return
369
a tree with a ``branch`` attribute of the right format. This was
370
preventing some ``RemoteBranch`` tests from actually running with
371
``RemoteBranch`` instances. (Andrew Bennetts)
372
373
API CHANGES:
374
375
* Removed ``Repository.text_store``, ``control_store``, etc. Instead,
376
there are new attributes ``texts, inventories, revisions,
377
signatures``, each of which is a ``VersionedFiles``. See the
378
Repository docstring for more details.
379
(Robert Collins)
380
381
* ``Branch.pull`` now accepts an ``_override_hook_target`` optional
382
parameter. If you have a subclass of ``Branch`` that overrides
383
``pull`` then you should add this parameter. (Andrew Bennetts)
384
385
* ``bzrlib.check.check()`` has been deprecated in favour of the more
386
aptly-named ``bzrlib.check.check_branch()``.
387
(Daniel Watkins)
388
389
* ``Tree.print_file`` and ``Repository.print_file`` are deprecated.
390
These methods are bad APIs because they write directly to sys.stdout.
391
bzrlib does not use them internally, and there are no direct tests
392
for them. (Alexander Belchenko)
393
394
INTERNALS:
395
396
* ``cat`` command no longer uses ``Tree.print_file()`` internally.
397
(Alexander Belchenko)
398
399
* New class method ``BzrDir.open_containing_tree_branch_or_repository``
400
which eases the discovery of the tree, the branch and the repository
401
containing a given location.
402
(Daniel Watkins)
403
404
* New ``versionedfile.KeyMapper`` interface to abstract out the access to
405
underlying .knit/.kndx etc files in repositories with partitioned
406
storage. (Robert Collins)
407
408
* Obsolete developer-use command ``weave-join`` has been removed.
409
(Robert Collins)
410
411
* ``RemoteToOtherFetcher`` and ``get_data_stream_for_search`` removed,
412
to support new ``VersionedFiles`` layering.
413
(Robert Collins)
414
415
416
bzr 1.6beta2 2008-06-10
417
-----------------------
418
419
This release contains further progress towards our 1.6 goals of shallow
420
repositories, and contains a fix for some user-affecting bugs in the
421
repository layer. Building working trees during checkout and branch is
422
now faster.
423
424
BUG FIXES:
425
426
* Avoid KnitCorrupt error extracting inventories from some repositories.
427
(The data is not corrupt; an internal check is detecting a problem
428
reading from the repository.)
429
(Martin Pool, Andrew Bennetts, Robert Collins, #234748)
430
431
* ``bzr status`` was breaking if you merged the same revision twice.
432
(John Arbash Meinel, #235407)
433
434
* Fix infinite loop consuming 100% CPU when a connection is lost while
435
reading a response body via the smart protocol v1 or v2.
436
(Andrew Bennetts)
437
438
* Inserting a bundle which changes the contents of a file with no trailing
439
end of line, causing a knit snapshot in a 'knits' repository will no longer
440
cause KnitCorrupt. (Robert Collins)
441
442
* ``RemoteBranch.pull`` needs to return the ``self._real_branch``'s
443
pull result. It was instead just returning None, which breaks ``bzr
444
pull``. (John Arbash Meinel, #238149)
445
446
* Sanitize branch nick before using it as an attachment filename in
447
``bzr send``. (Lukáš Lalinský, #210218)
448
449
* Squash ``inv_entry.symlink_target`` to a plain string when
450
generating DirState details. This prevents from getting a
451
``UnicodeError`` when you have symlinks and non-ascii filenames.
452
(John Arbash Meinel, #135320)
453
454
IMPROVEMENTS:
455
456
* Added the 'alias' command to set/unset and display aliases. (Tim Penhey)
457
458
* ``added``, ``modified``, and ``unknowns`` behaviour made consistent (all three
459
now quote paths where required). Added ``--null`` option to ``added`` and
460
``modified`` (for null-separated unknowns, use ``ls --unknown --null``)
461
(Adrian Wilkins)
462
463
* Faster branching (1.09x) and lightweight checkouts (1.06x) on large trees.
464
(Ian Clatworthy, Aaron Bentley)
465
466
DOCUMENTATION:
467
468
* Added *Bazaar Zen* section to the User Guide. (Ian Clatworthy)
469
470
TESTING:
471
472
* Fix the test HTTPServer to be isolated from chdir calls made while it is
473
running, allowing it to be used in blackbox tests. (Robert Collins)
474
475
API CHANGES:
476
477
* ``WorkingTree.set_parent_(ids/trees)`` will now filter out revisions
478
which are in the ancestry of other revisions. So if you merge the same
479
tree twice, or merge an ancestor of an existing merge, it will only
480
record the newest. (If you merge a descendent, it will replace its
481
ancestor). (John Arbash Meinel, #235407)
482
483
* ``RepositoryPolicy.__init__`` now requires stack_on and stack_on_pwd,
484
through the derived classes do not. (Aaron Bentley)
485
486
INTERNALS:
487
488
* ``bzrlib.bzrdir.BzrDir.sprout`` now accepts ``stacked`` to control
489
creating stacked branches. (Robert Collins)
490
491
* Knit record serialisation is now stricter on what it will accept, to
492
guard against potential internal bugs, or broken input. (Robert Collins)

bzr 1.6beta1 2008-06-02
496
-----------------------
497
498
499
Commands that work on the revision history such as push, pull, missing,
500
uncommit and log are now substantially faster. This release adds a
501
translation of some of the user documentation into Spanish. (Contributions of
502
other translations would be very welcome.) Bazaar 1.6beta1 adds a new network
503
protocol which is used by default and which allows for more efficient transfers
504
and future extensions.
505
506
507
NOTES WHEN UPGRADING:
508
509
* There is a new version of the network protocol used for bzr://, bzr+ssh://
510
and bzr+http:// connections. This will allow more efficient requests and
511
responses, and more graceful fallback when a server is too old to
512
recognise a request from a more recent client. Bazaar 1.6 will
513
interoperate with 0.16 and later versions, but servers should be upgraded
514
when possible. Bazaar 1.6 no longer interoperates with 0.15 and earlier via
515
these protocols. Use alternatives like SFTP or upgrade those servers.
516
(Andrew Bennetts, #83935)
517
518
CHANGES:
519
520
* Deprecation warnings will not be suppressed when running ``bzr selftest``
521
so that developers can see if their code is using deprecated functions.
522
(John Arbash Meinel)
523
524
FEATURES:
525
526
* Adding ``-Derror`` will now display a traceback when a plugin fails to
527
load. (James Westby)
528
529
IMPROVEMENTS:
530
531
* ``bzr branch/push/pull -r XXX`` now have a helper function for finding
532
the revno of the new revision (``Graph.find_distance_to_null``). This
533
should make something like ``bzr branch -r -100`` in a shared, no-trees
534
repository much snappier. (John Arbash Meinel)
535
536
* ``bzr log --short -r X..Y`` no longer needs to access the full revision
537
history. This makes it noticeably faster when logging the last few
538
revisions. (John Arbash Meinel)
539
540
* ``bzr ls`` now accepts ``-V`` as an alias for ``--versioned``.
541
(Jerad Cramp, #165086)
542
543
* ``bzr missing`` uses the new ``Graph.find_unique_ancestors`` and
544
``Graph.find_differences`` to determine missing revisions without having
545
to search the whole ancestry. (John Arbash Meinel, #174625)
546
547
* ``bzr uncommit`` now uses partial history access, rather than always
548
extracting the full revision history for a branch. This makes it
549
resolve the appropriate revisions much faster (in testing it drops
550
uncommit from 1.5s => 0.4s). It also means ``bzr log --short`` is one
551
step closer to not using full revision history.
552
(John Arbash Meinel, #172649)
553
554
BUGFIXES:
555
556
* ``bzr merge --lca`` should handle when two revisions have no common
557
ancestor other than NULL_REVISION. (John Arbash Meinel, #235715)
558
559
* ``bzr status`` was breaking if you merged the same revision twice.
560
(John Arbash Meinel, #235407)
561
562
* ``bzr push`` with both ``--overwrite`` and ``-r NNN`` options no longer
563
fails. (Andrew Bennetts, #234229)
564
565
* Correctly track the base URL of a smart medium when using bzr+http://
566
URLs, which was causing spurious "No repository present" errors with
567
branches in shared repositories accessed over bzr+http.
568
(Andrew Bennetts, #230550)
569
570
* Define ``_remote_is_at_least_1_2`` on ``SmartClientMedium`` so that all
571
implementations have the attribute. Fixes 'PyCurlTransport' object has no
572
attribute '_remote_is_at_least_1_2' attribute errors.
573
(Andrew Bennetts, #220806)
574
575
* Failure to delete an obsolete pack file should just give a warning
576
message, not a fatal error. It may for example fail if the file is still
577
in use by another process.
578
(Martin Pool)
579
580
* Fix MemoryError during large fetches over HTTP by limiting the amount of
581
data we try to read per ``recv`` call. The problem was observed with
582
Windows and a proxy, but might affect other environments as well.
583
(Eric Holmberg, #215426)
584
585
* Handle old merge directives correctly in Merger.from_mergeable. Stricter
586
get_parent_map requirements exposed a latent bug here. (Aaron Bentley)
587
588
* Issue a warning and ignore passwords declared in authentication.conf when
589
used for an ssh scheme (sftp or bzr+ssh).
590
(Vincent Ladeuil, #203186)
591
592
* Make both http implementations raise appropriate exceptions on 403
593
Forbidden when POSTing smart requests.
594
(Vincent Ladeuil, #230223)
595
596
* Properly *title* header names in http requests instead of capitalizing
597
them.
598
(Vincent Ladeuil, #229076)
599
600
* The "Unable to obtain lock" error message now also suggests using
601
``bzr break-lock`` to fix it. (Martin Albisetti, #139202)
602
603
* Treat an encoding of '' as ascii; this can happen when bzr is run
604
under vim on Mac OS X.
605
(Neil Martinsen-Burrell)
606
607
* ``VersionedFile.make_mpdiffs()`` was raising an exception that wasn't in
608
scope. (Daniel Fischer #235687)
609
610
DOCUMENTATION:
611
612
* Added directory structure and started translation of docs in spanish.
613
(Martin Albisetti, Lucio Albenga)
614
615
* Incorporate feedback from Jelmer Vernooij and Neil Martinsen-Burrell
616
on the plugin and integration chapters of the User Guide.
617
(Ian Clatworthy)
618
619
* More Bazaar developer documentation about packaging and release process,
620
and about use of Python reprs.
621
(Martin Pool, Martin Albisetti)
622
623
* Updated Tortise strategy document. (Mark Hammond)
624
625
TESTING:
626
627
* ``bzrlib.tests.adapt_tests`` was broken and unused - it has been fixed.
628
(Robert Collins)
629
630
* Fix the test HTTPServer to be isolated from chdir calls made while it is
631
running, allowing it to be used in blackbox tests. (Robert Collins)
632
633
* New helper function for splitting test suites
634
``split_suite_by_condition``. (Robert Collins)
635
636
INTERNALS:
637
638
* ``Branch.missing_revisions`` has been deprecated. Similar functionality
639
can be obtained using ``bzrlib.missing.find_unmerged``. The api was
640
fairly broken, and the function was unused, so we are getting rid of it.
641
(John Arbash Meinel)
642
643
API CHANGES:
644
645
* ``Branch.abspath`` is deprecated; use the Tree or Transport
646
instead. (Martin Pool)
647
648
* ``Branch.update_revisions`` now takes an optional ``Graph``
649
object. This can be used by ``update_revisions`` when it is
650
checking ancestry, and allows callers to prefer request to go to a
651
local branch. (John Arbash Meinel)
652
653
* Branch, Repository, Tree and BzrDir should expose a Transport as an
654
attribute if they have one, rather than having it indirectly accessible
655
as ``.control_files._transport``. This doesn't add a requirement
656
to support a Transport in cases where it was not needed before;
657
it just simplifies the way it is reached. (Martin Pool)
658
659
* ``bzr missing --mine-only`` will return status code 0 if you have no
660
new revisions, but the remote does. Similarly for ``--theirs-only``.
661
The new code only checks one side, so it doesn't know if the other
662
side has changes. This seems more accurate with the request anyway.
663
It also changes the output to print '[This|Other] branch is up to
664
date.' rather than displaying nothing. (John Arbash Meinel)
665
666
* ``LockableFiles.put_utf8``, ``put_bytes`` and ``controlfilename``
667
are now deprecated in favor of using Transport operations.
668
(Martin Pool)
669
670
* Many methods on ``VersionedFile``, ``Repository`` and in
671
``bzrlib.revision`` deprecated before bzrlib 1.5 have been removed.
672
(Robert Collins)
673
674
* ``RevisionSpec.wants_revision_history`` can be set to False for a given
675
``RevisionSpec``. This will disable the existing behavior of passing in
676
the full revision history to ``self._match_on``. Useful for specs that
677
don't actually need access to the full history. (John Arbash Meinel)
678
679
* The constructors of ``SmartClientMedium`` and its subclasses now require a
680
``base`` parameter. ``SmartClientMedium`` implementations now also need
681
to provide a ``remote_path_from_transport`` method. (Andrew Bennetts)
682
683
* The default permissions for creating new files and directories
684
should now be obtained from ``BzrDir._get_file_mode()`` and
685
``_get_dir_mode()``, rather than from LockableFiles. The ``_set_file_mode``
686
and ``_set_dir_mode`` variables on LockableFiles which were advertised
687
as a way for plugins to control this are no longer consulted.
688
(Martin Pool)
689
690
* ``VersionedFile.join`` is deprecated. This method required local
691
instances of both versioned file objects and was thus hostile to being
692
used for streaming from a smart server. The new get_record_stream and
693
insert_record_stream are meant to efficiently replace this method.
694
(Robert Collins)
695
696
* ``WorkingTree.set_parent_(ids/trees)`` will now filter out revisions
697
which are in the ancestry of other revisions. So if you merge the same
698
tree twice, or merge an ancestor of an existing merge, it will only
699
record the newest. (If you merge a descendent, it will replace its
700
ancestor). (John Arbash Meinel, #235407)
701
702
* ``WorkingTreeFormat2.stub_initialize_remote`` is now private.
703

bzr 1.5 2008-05-16
707
------------------
708
709
This release of Bazaar includes several updates to the documentation, and fixes
710
to prepare for making rich root support the default format. Many bugs have been
711
squashed, including fixes to log, bzr+ssh inter-operation with older servers.
712
713
CHANGES:
714
715
* Suppress deprecation warnings when bzrlib is a 'final' release. This way
716
users of packaged software won't be bothered with DeprecationWarnings,
717
but developers and testers will still see them. (John Arbash Meinel)
718
719
DOCUMENTATION:
720
721
* Incorporate feedback from Jelmer Vernooij and Neil Martinsen-Burrell
722

727
---------------------
728
729
NOTES WHEN UPGRADING:
730
731
CHANGES:
732
733
* Broader support of GNU Emacs mail clients. Set
734
``mail_client=emacsclient`` in your bazaar.conf and ``send`` will pop the
735
bundle in a mail buffer according to the value of ``mail-user-agent``
736
variable. (Xavier Maillard)
737
738
FEATURES:
739
740
IMPROVEMENTS:
741
742
* Diff now handles revision specs like "branch:" and "submit:" more
743
efficiently. (Aaron Bentley, #202928)
744
745
* More friendly error given when attempt to start the smart server
746
on an address already in use. (Andrea Corbellini, #200575)
747
748
* Pull completes much faster when there is nothing to pull.
749
(Aaron Bentley)
750
751
BUGFIXES:
752
753
* Authentication.conf can define sections without password.
754
(Vincent Ladeuil, #199440)
755
756
* Avoid muttering every time a child update does not cause a progress bar
757
update. (John Arbash Meinel, #213771)
758
759
* ``Branch.reconcile()`` is now implemented. This allows ``bzr reconcile``
760
to fix when a Branch has a non-canonical mainline history. ``bzr check``
761
also detects this condition. (John Arbash Meinel, #177855)
762
763
* ``bzr log -r ..X bzr://`` was failing, because it was getting a request
764
for ``revision_id=None`` which was not a string.
765
(John Arbash Meinel, #211661)
766
767
* ``bzr commit`` now works with Microsoft's FTP service.
768
(Andreas Deininger)
769
770
* Catch definitions outside sections in authentication.conf.
771
(Vincent Ladeuil, #217650)
772
773
* Conversion from non-rich-root to rich-root(-pack) updates inventory
774
sha1s, even when bundles are used. (Aaron Bentley, #181391)
775
776
* Conversion from non-rich-root to rich-root(-pack) works correctly even
777
though search keys are not topologically sorted. (Aaron Bentley)
778
779
* Conversion from non-rich-root to rich-root(-pack) works even when a
780
parent revision has a different root id. (Aaron Bentley, #177874)
781
782
* Disable strace testing until strace is fixed (see bug #103133) and emit a
783
warning when selftest ends to remind us of leaking tests.
784
(Vincent Ladeuil, #226769)
785
786
* Fetching all revisions from a repository does not cause pack collisions.
787
(Robert Collins, Aaron Bentley, #212908)
788
789
* Fix error about "attempt to add line-delta in non-delta knit".
790
(Andrew Bennetts, #217701)
791
792
* Pushing a branch in "dirstate" format (Branch5) over bzr+ssh would break
793
if the remote server was < version 1.2. This was due to a bug in the
794
RemoteRepository.get_parent_map() fallback code.
795
(John Arbash Meinel, #214894)
796
797
* Remove leftover code in ``bzr_branch`` that inappropriately creates
798
a ``branch-name`` file in the branch control directory.
799
(Martin Pool)
800
801
* Set SO_REUSEADDR on server sockets of ``bzr serve`` to avoid problems
802
rebinding the socket when starting the server a second time.
803
(John Arbash Meinel, Martin Pool, #164288)
804
805
* Severe performance degradation in fetching from knit repositories to
806
knits and packs due to parsing the entire revisions.kndx on every graph
807
walk iteration fixed by using the Repository.get_graph API. There was
808
another regression in knit => knit fetching which re-read the index for
809
every revision each side had in common.
810
(Robert Collins, John Arbash Meinel)
811
812
* When logging the changes to a particular file, there was a bug if there
813
were ghosts in the revision ancestry. (John Arbash Meinel, #209948)
814
815
* xs4all's ftp server returns a temporary error when trying to list an
816
empty directory, rather than returning an empty list. Adding a
817
workaround so that we don't get spurious failures.
818
(John Arbash Meinel, #215522)
819
820
DOCUMENTATION:
821
822
* Expanded the User Guide to include new chapters on popular plugins and
823
integrating Bazaar into your environment. The *Best practices* chapter
824
was renamed to *Miscellaneous topics* as suggested by community
825
feedback as well. (Ian Clatworthy)
826
827
* Document outlining strategies for TortoiseBzr. (Mark Hammond)
828
829
* Improved the documentation on hooks. (Ian Clatworthy)
830
831
* Update authentication docs regarding ssh agents.
832
(Vincent Ladeuil, #183705)
833
834
TESTING:
835
836
* Add ``thread_name_suffix`` parameter to SmartTCPServer_for_testing, to
837
make it easy to identify which test spawned a thread with an unhandled
838
exception. (Andrew Bennetts)
839
840
* New ``--debugflag``/``-E`` option to ``bzr selftest`` for setting
841
options for debugging tests, these are complementary to the the -D
842
options. The ``-Dselftest_debug`` global option has been replaced by the
843
``-E=allow_debug`` option for selftest. (Andrew Bennetts)
844
845
* Parameterised test ids are preserved correctly to aid diagnosis of test
846
failures. (Robert Collins, Andrew Bennetts)
847
848
* selftest now accepts --starting-with <id> to load only the tests whose id
849
starts with the one specified. This greatly speeds up running the test
850
suite on a limited set of tests and can be used to run the tests for a
851
single module, a single class or even a single test. (Vincent Ladeuil)
852
853
* The test suite modules have been modified to define load_tests() instead
854
of test_suite(). That speeds up selective loading (via --load-list)
855
significantly and provides many examples on how to migrate (grep for
856
load_tests). (Vincent Ladeuil)
857
858
INTERNALS:
859
860
* ``Hooks.install_hook`` is now deprecated in favour of
861
``Hooks.install_named_hook`` which adds a required ``name`` parameter, to
862
avoid having to call ``Hooks.name_hook``. (Daniel Watkins)
863
864
* Implement xml8 serializer. (Aaron Bentley)
865
866
* New form ``@deprecated_method(deprecated_in(1, 5, 0))`` for making
867
deprecation wrappers. (Martin Pool)
868
869
* ``Repository.revision_parents`` is now deprecated in favour of
870
``Repository.get_parent_map([revid])[revid]``. (Jelmer Vernooij)
871
872
* The Python ``assert`` statement is no longer used in Bazaar source, and
873
a test checks this. (Martin Pool)
874
875
API CHANGES:
876
877
* ``bzrlib.status.show_pending_merges`` requires the repository to be
878
locked by the caller. Callers should have been doing it anyway, but it
879
will now raise an exception if they do not. (John Arbash Meinel)
880
881
* Repository.get_data_stream, Repository.get_data_stream_for_search(),
882
Repository.get_deltas_for_revsions(), Repository.revision_trees(),
883
Repository.item_keys_introduced_by() no longer take read locks.
884
(Aaron Bentley)
885
886
* ``LockableFiles.get_utf8`` and ``.get`` are deprecated, as a start
887
towards removing LockableFiles and ``.control_files`` entirely.
888
(Martin Pool)
889
890
* Methods deprecated prior to 1.1 have been removed.

bzr 1.4 2008-04-28
895
------------------
896
897
This release of Bazaar includes handy improvements to the speed of log and
898
status, new options for several commands, improved documentation, and better
899
hooks, including initial code for server-side hooks. A number of bugs have
900
been fixed, particularly in interoperability between different formats or
901
different releases of Bazaar over there network. There's been substantial
902
internal work in both the repository and network code to enable new features
903
and faster performance.

925
* Fix error about "attempt to add line-delta in non-delta knit".

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

1234
------------------
1235
1236
Bazaar has become part of the GNU project <http://www.gnu.org>
1237
1238
Many operations that act on history, including ``log`` and ``annotate`` are now
1239
substantially faster. Several bugs have been fixed and several new options and
1240
features have been added.
1241
1242
TESTING:
1243
1244

NOTES WHEN UPGRADING:
1253
1254
* The backup directory created by ``upgrade`` is now called
1255
``backup.bzr``, not ``.bzr.backup``. (Martin Albisetti)
1256
1257
CHANGES:
1258
1259
* A new repository format 'development' has been added. This format will
1260
represent the latest 'in-progress' format that the bzr developers are
1261
interested in getting early-adopter testing and feedback on.
1262
``doc/developers/development-repo.txt`` has detailed information.
1263
(Robert Collins)
1264
1265
* BZR_LOG environment variable controls location of .bzr.log trace file.
1266
User can suppress writing messages to .bzr.log by using '/dev/null'
1267
filename (on Linux) or 'NUL' (on Windows). If BZR_LOG variable
1268
is not defined but BZR_HOME is defined then default location
1269
for .bzr.log trace file is ``$BZR_HOME/.bzr.log``.
1270
(Alexander Belchenko)
1271
1272
* ``launchpad`` builtin plugin now shipped as separate part in standalone
1273
bzr.exe, installed to ``C:\Program Files\Bazaar\plugins`` directory,
1274
and standalone installer allows user to skip installation of this plugin.
1275
(Alexander Belchenko)
1276
1277
* Restore auto-detection of plink.exe on Windows. (Dmitry Vasiliev)
1278
1279
* Version number is now shown as "1.2" or "1.2pr2", without zeroed or
1280
missing final fields. (Martin Pool)
1281
1282
FEATURES:
1283
1284
* ``branch`` and ``checkout`` can hard-link working tree files, which is
1285
faster and saves space. (Aaron Bentley)
1286
1287
* ``bzr send`` will now also look at the ``child_submit_to`` setting in
1288
the submit branch to determine the email address to send to.
1289
(Jelmer Vernooij)
1290
1291
IMPROVEMENTS:
1292
1293
* BzrBranch._lefthand_history is faster on pack repos. (Aaron Bentley)
1294
1295
* Branch6.generate_revision_history is faster. (Aaron Bentley)
1296
1297
* Directory services can now be registered, allowing special URLs to be
1298
dereferenced into real URLs. This is a generalization and cleanup of
1299
the lp: transport lookup. (Aaron Bentley)
1300
1301
* Merge directives that are automatically attached to emails have nicer
1302
filenames, based on branch-nick + revno. (Aaron Bentley)
1303
1304
* ``push`` has a ``--revision`` option, to specify what revision to push up
1305
to. (Daniel Watkins)
1306
1307
* Significantly reducing execution time and network traffic for trivial
1308
case of running ``bzr missing`` command for two identical branches.
1309
(Alexander Belchenko)
1310
1311
* Speed up operations that look at the revision graph (such as 'bzr log').
1312
``KnitPackRepositor.get_revision_graph`` uses ``Graph.iter_ancestry`` to
1313
extract the revision history. This allows filtering ghosts while
1314
stepping instead of needing to peek ahead. (John Arbash Meinel)
1315
1316
* The ``hooks`` command lists installed hooks, to assist in debugging.
1317
(Daniel Watkins)
1318
1319
* Updates to how ``annotate`` work. Should see a measurable improvement in
1320
performance and memory consumption for file with a lot of merges.
1321
Also, correctly handle when a line is introduced by both parents (it
1322
should be attributed to the first merge which notices this, and not
1323
to all subsequent merges.) (John Arbash Meinel)
1324
1325
BUGFIXES:
1326
1327
* Autopacking no longer holds the full set of inventory lines in
1328
memory while copying. For large repositories, this can amount to
1329
hundreds of MB of ram consumption.
1330
(Ian Clatworthy, John Arbash Meinel)
1331
1332
* Cherrypicking when using ``--format=merge3`` now explictly excludes
1333
BASE lines. (John Arbash Meinel, #151731)
1334
1335
* Disable plink's interactive prompt for password.
1336
(#107593, Dmitry Vasiliev)
1337
1338
* Encode command line arguments from unicode to user_encoding before
1339
invoking external mail client in `bzr send` command.
1340
(#139318, Alexander Belchenko)
1341
1342
* Fixed problem connecting to ``bzr+https://`` servers.
1343
(#198793, John Ferlito)
1344
1345
* Improved error reporting in the Launchpad plugin. (Daniel Watkins,
1346
#196618)
1347
1348
* Include quick-start-summary.svg file to python-based installer(s)
1349
for Windows. (#192924, Alexander Belchenko)
1350
1351
* lca merge now respects specified files. (Aaron Bentley)
1352
1353
* Make version-info --custom imply --all. (#195560, James Westby)
1354
1355
* ``merge --preview`` now works for merges that add or modify
1356
symlinks (James Henstridge)
1357
1358
* Redirecting the output from ``bzr merge`` (when the remembered
1359
location is used) now works. (John Arbash Meinel)
1360
1361
* setup.py script explicitly checks for Python version.
1362
(Jari Aalto, Alexander Belchenko, #200569)
1363
1364
* UnknownFormatErrors no longer refer to branches regardless of kind of
1365
unknown format. (Daniel Watkins, #173980)
1366
1367
* Upgrade bundled ConfigObj to version 4.5.2, which properly quotes #
1368
signs, among other small improvements. (Matt Nordhoff, #86838)
1369
1370
* Use correct indices when emitting LCA conflicts. This fixes IndexError
1371
errors. (Aaron Bentley, #196780)
1372

1375
* Explained how to use ``version-info --custom`` in the User Guide.

(Neil Martinsen-Burrell)
1377
1378
API BREAKS:
1379
1380
* Support for loading plugins from zip files and
1381
``bzrlib.plugin.load_from_zip()`` function are deprecated.
1382
(Alexander Belchenko)
1383
1384
TESTING:
1385
1386
* Added missing blackbox tests for ``modified`` (Adrian Wilkins)
1387
1388
* The branch interface tests were invalid for branches using rich-root
1389
repositories because the empty string is not a valid file-id.
1390
(Robert Collins)
1391
1392
INTERNALS:
1393
1394
* ``Graph.iter_ancestry`` returns the ancestry of revision ids. Similar to
1395
``Repository.get_revision_graph()`` except it includes ghosts and you can
1396
stop part-way through. (John Arbash Meinel)
1397
1398
* New module ``tools/package_mf.py`` provide custom module finder for
1399
python packages (improves standard python library's modulefinder.py)
1400
used by ``setup.py`` script while building standalone bzr.exe.
1401
(Alexander Belchenko)
1402
1403
* New remote method ``RemoteBzrDir.find_repositoryV2`` adding support for
1404
detecting external lookup support on remote repositories. This method is
1405
now attempted first when lookup up repositories, leading to an extra
1406
round trip on older bzr smart servers. (Robert Collins)
1407
1408
* Repository formats have a new supported-feature attribute
1409
``supports_external_lookups`` used to indicate repositories which support
1410
falling back to other repositories when they have partial data.
1411
(Robert Collins)
1412
1413
* ``Repository.get_revision_graph_with_ghosts`` and
1414
``bzrlib.revision.(common_ancestor,MultipleRevisionSources,common_graph)``
1415
have been deprecated. (John Arbash Meinel)
1416
1417
* ``Tree.iter_changes`` is now a public API, replacing the work-in-progress
1418
``Tree._iter_changes``. The api is now considered stable and ready for
1419
external users. (Aaron Bentley)
1420
1421
* The bzrdir format registry now accepts an ``alias`` keyword to
1422
register_metadir, used to indicate that a format name is an alias for
1423
some other format and thus should not be reported when describing the
1424
format. (Robert Collins)

NOTES WHEN UPGRADING:
1439
1440
* Fetching via the smart protocol may need to reconnect once during a fetch
1441
if the remote server is running Bazaar 1.1 or earlier, because the client
1442
attempts to use more efficient requests that confuse older servers. You
1443
may be required to re-enter a password or passphrase when this happens.
1444
This won't happen if the server is upgraded to Bazaar 1.2.
1445
(Andrew Bennetts)
1446
1447
CHANGES:
1448
1449
* Fetching via bzr+ssh will no longer fill ghosts by default (this is
1450
consistent with pack-0.92 fetching over SFTP). (Robert Collins)
1451
1452
* Formatting of ``bzr plugins`` output is changed to be more human-
1453
friendly. Full path of plugins locations will be shown only with
1454
``--verbose`` command-line option. (Alexander Belchenko)
1455
1456
* ``merge`` now prefers to use the submit branch, but will fall back to
1457
parent branch. For many users, this has no effect. But some users who
1458
pull and merge on the same branch will notice a change. This change
1459
makes it easier to work on a branch on two different machines, pulling
1460
between the machines, while merging from the upstream.
1461
``merge --remember`` can now be used to set the submit_branch.
1462
(Aaron Bentley)
1463
1464
FEATURES:
1465
1466
* ``merge --preview`` produces a diff of the changes merge would make,
1467
but does not actually perform the merge. (Aaron Bentley)
1468
1469
* New smart method ``Repository.get_parent_map`` for getting revision
1470
parent data. This returns additional parent information topologically
1471
adjacent to the requested data to reduce round trip latency impacts.
1472
(Robert Collins)
1473
1474
* New smart method, ``Repository.stream_revisions_chunked``, for fetching
1475
revision data that streams revision data via a chunked encoding. This
1476
avoids buffering large amounts of revision data on the server and on the
1477
client, and sends less data to the server to request the revisions.
1478
(Andrew Bennetts, Robert Collins, #178353)
1479
1480
* The launchpad plugin now handles lp urls of the form
1481
``lp://staging/``, ``lp://demo/``, ``lp://dev/`` to use the appropriate
1482
launchpad instance to do the resolution of the branch identities.
1483
This is primarily of use to Launchpad developers, but can also
1484
be used by other users who want to try out Launchpad as
1485
a branch location without messing up their public Launchpad
1486
account. Branches that are pushed to the staging environment
1487
have an expected lifetime of one day. (Tim Penhey)
1488
1489
IMPROVEMENTS:
1490
1491
* Creating a new branch no longer tries to read the entire revision-history
1492
unnecessarily over smart server operations. (Robert Collins)
1493
1494
* Fetching between different repository formats with compatible models now
1495
takes advantage of the smart method to stream revisions. (Andrew Bennetts)
1496
1497
* The ``--coverage`` option is now global, rather specific to ``bzr
1498
selftest``. (Andrew Bennetts)
1499
1500
* The ``register-branch`` command will now use the public url of the branch
1501
containing the current directory, if one has been set and no explicit
1502
branch is provided. (Robert Collins)
1503
1504
* Tweak the ``reannotate`` code path to optimize the 2-parent case.
1505
Speeds up ``bzr annotate`` with a pack repository by approx 3:2.
1506
(John Arbash Meinel)
1507
1508
BUGFIXES:
1509
1510
* Calculate remote path relative to the shared medium in _SmartClient. This
1511
is related to the problem in bug #124089. (Andrew Bennetts)
1512
1513
* Cleanly handle connection errors in smart protocol version two, the same
1514
way as they are handled by version one. (Andrew Bennetts)
1515
1516
* Clearer error when ``version-info --custom`` is used without
1517
``--template`` (Lukáš Lalinský)
1518
1519
* Don't raise UnavailableFeature during test setup when medusa is not
1520
available or tearDown is never called leading to nasty side effects.
1521
(#137823, Vincent Ladeuil)
1522
1523
* If a plugin's test suite cannot be loaded, for example because of a syntax
1524
error in the tests, then ``selftest`` fails, rather than just printing
1525
a warning. (Martin Pool, #189771)
1526
1527
* List possible values for BZR_SSH environment variable in env-variables
1528
help topic. (Alexander Belchenko, #181842)
1529
1530
* New methods ``push_log_file`` and ``pop_log_file`` to intercept messages:
1531
popping the log redirection now precisely restores the previous state,
1532
which makes it easier to use bzr log output from other programs.
1533
TestCaseInTempDir no longer depends on a log redirection being established
1534
by the test framework, which lets bzr tests cleanly run from a normal
1535
unittest runner.
1536
(#124153, #124849, Martin Pool, Jonathan Lange)
1537
1538
* ``pull --quiet`` is now more quiet, in particular a message is no longer
1539
printed when the remembered pull location is used. (James Westby,
1540
#185907)
1541
1542
* ``reconfigure`` can safely be interrupted while fetching.
1543
(Aaron Bentley, #179316)
1544
1545
* ``reconfigure`` preserves tags when converting to and from lightweight
1546
checkouts. (Aaron Bentley, #182040)
1547
1548
* Stop polluting /tmp when running selftest.
1549
(Vincent Ladeuil, #123623)
1550
1551
* Switch from NFKC => NFC for normalization checks. NFC allows a few
1552
more characters which should be considered valid.
1553
(John Arbash Meinel, #185458)
1554
1555
* The launchpad plugin now uses the ``edge`` xmlrpc server to avoid
1556
interacting badly with a bug on the launchpad side. (Robert Collins)
1557
1558
* Unknown hostnames when connecting to a ``bzr://`` URL no longer cause
1559
tracebacks. (Andrew Bennetts, #182849)
1560
1561
API BREAKS:
1562
1563
* Classes implementing Merge types like Merge3Merger must now accept (and
1564
honour) a do_merge flag in their constructor. (Aaron Bentley)
1565
1566
* ``Repository.add_inventory`` and ``add_revision`` now require the caller
1567
to previously take a write lock (and start a write group.)
1568
(Martin Pool)
1569
1570
TESTING:
1571
1572
* selftest now accepts --load-list <file> to load a test id list. This
1573
speeds up running the test suite on a limited set of tests.
1574
(Vincent Ladeuil)
1575
1576
INTERNALS:
1577
1578
* Add a new method ``get_result`` to graph search objects. The resulting
1579
``SearchResult`` can be used to recreate the search later, which will
1580
be useful in reducing network traffic. (Robert Collins)
1581
1582
* Use convenience function to check whether two repository handles
1583
are referring to the same repository in ``Repository.get_graph``.
1584
(Jelmer Vernooij, #187162)
1585
1586
* Fetching now passes the find_ghosts flag through to the
1587
``InterRepository.missing_revision_ids`` call consistently for all
1588
repository types. This will enable faster missing revision discovery with
1589
bzr+ssh. (Robert Collins)
1590
1591
* Fix error handling in Repository.insert_data_stream. (Lukas Lalinsky)
1592
1593
* ``InterRepository.missing_revision_ids`` is now deprecated in favour of
1594
``InterRepository.search_missing_revision_ids`` which returns a
1595
``bzrlib.graph.SearchResult`` suitable for making requests from the smart
1596
server. (Robert Collins)
1597
1598
* New error ``NoPublicBranch`` for commands that need a public branch to
1599
operate. (Robert Collins)
1600
1601
* New method ``iter_inventories`` on Repository for access to many
1602
inventories. This is primarily used by the ``revision_trees`` method, as
1603
direct access to inventories is discouraged. (Robert Collins)
1604
1605
* New method ``next_with_ghosts`` on the Graph breadth-first-search objects
1606
which will split out ghosts and present parents into two separate sets,
1607
useful for code which needs to be aware of ghosts (e.g. fetching data
1608
cares about ghosts during revision selection). (Robert Collins)
1609
1610
* Record a timestamp against each mutter to the trace file, relative to the
1611
first import of bzrlib. (Andrew Bennetts)
1612
1613
* ``Repository.get_data_stream`` is now deprecated in favour of
1614
``Repository.get_data_stream_for_search`` which allows less network
1615
traffic when requesting data streams over a smart server. (Robert Collins)
1616
1617
* ``RemoteBzrDir._get_tree_branch`` no longer triggers ``_ensure_real``,
1618
removing one round trip on many network operations. (Robert Collins)
1619
1620
* RemoteTransport's ``recommended_page_size`` method now returns 64k, like
1621
SFTPTransport and HttpTransportBase. (Andrew Bennetts)
1622
1623
* Repository has a new method ``has_revisions`` which signals the presence
1624
of many revisions by returning a set of the revisions listed which are
1625
present. This can be done by index queries without reading data for parent
1626
revision names etc. (Robert Collins)

1635
---------------------
1636
1637
CHANGES:
1638
1639
* Dotted revision numbers have been revised. Instead of growing longer with
1640
nested branches the branch number just increases. (eg instead of 1.1.1.1.1
1641
we now report 1.2.1.) This helps scale long lived branches which have many
1642
feature branches merged between them. (John Arbash Meinel)
1643
1644
* The syntax ``bzr diff branch1 branch2`` is no longer supported.
1645
Use ``bzr diff branch1 --new branch2`` instead. This change has
1646
been made to remove the ambiguity where ``branch2`` is in fact a
1647
specific file to diff within ``branch1``.
1648
1649
FEATURES:
1650
1651
* New option to use custom template-based formats in ``bzr version-info``.
1652
(Lukáš Lalinský)
1653
1654
* diff '--using' allows an external diff tool to be used for files.
1655
(Aaron Bentley)
1656
1657
* New "lca" merge-type for fast everyday merging that also supports
1658
criss-cross merges. (Aaron Bentley)
1659
1660
IMPROVEMENTS:
1661
1662
* ``annotate`` now doesn't require a working tree. (Lukáš Lalinský,
1663
#90049)
1664
1665
* ``branch`` and ``checkout`` can now use files from a working tree to
1666
to speed up the process. For checkout, this requires the new
1667
--files-from flag. (Aaron Bentley)
1668
1669
* ``bzr diff`` now sorts files in alphabetical order. (Aaron Bentley)
1670
1671
* ``bzr diff`` now works on branches without working trees. Tree-less
1672
branches can also be compared to each other and to working trees using
1673
the new diff options ``--old`` and ``--new``. Diffing between branches,
1674
with or without trees, now supports specific file filtering as well.
1675
(Ian Clatworthy, #6700)
1676
1677
* ``bzr pack`` now orders revision texts in topological order, with newest
1678
at the start of the file, promoting linear reads for ``bzr log`` and the
1679
like. This partially fixes #154129. (Robert Collins)
1680
1681
* Merge directives now fetch prerequisites from the target branch if
1682
needed. (Aaron Bentley)
1683
1684
* pycurl now handles digest authentication.
1685
(Vincent Ladeuil)
1686
1687
* ``reconfigure`` can now convert from repositories. (Aaron Bentley)
1688
1689
* ``-l`` is now a short form for ``--limit`` in ``log``. (Matt Nordhoff)
1690
1691
* ``merge`` now warns when merge directives cause cherrypicks.
1692
(Aaron Bentley)
1693
1694
* ``split`` now supported, to enable splitting large trees into smaller
1695
pieces. (Aaron Bentley)
1696
1697
BUGFIXES:
1698
1699
* Avoid AttributeError when unlocking a pack repository when an error occurs.
1700
(Martin Pool, #180208)
1701
1702
* Better handle short reads when processing multiple range requests.
1703
(Vincent Ladeuil, #179368)
1704
1705
* build_tree acceleration uses the correct path when a file has been moved.
1706
(Aaron Bentley)
1707
1708
* ``commit`` now succeeds when a checkout and its master branch share a
1709
repository. (Aaron Bentley, #177592)
1710
1711
* Fixed error reporting of unsupported timezone format in
1712
``log --timezone``. (Lukáš Lalinský, #178722)
1713
1714
* Fixed Unicode encoding error in ``ignored`` when the output is
1715
redirected to a pipe. (Lukáš Lalinský)
1716
1717
* Fix traceback when sending large response bodies over the smart protocol
1718
on Windows. (Andrew Bennetts, #115781)
1719
1720
* Fix ``urlutils.relative_url`` for the case of two ``file:///`` URLs
1721
pointed to different logical drives on Windows.
1722
(Alexander Belchenko, #90847)
1723
1724
* HTTP test servers are now compatible with the http protocol version 1.1.
1725
(Vincent Ladeuil, #175524)
1726
1727
* _KnitParentsProvider.get_parent_map now handles requests for ghosts
1728
correctly, instead of erroring or attributing incorrect parents to ghosts.
1729
(Aaron Bentley)
1730
1731
* ``merge --weave --uncommitted`` now works. (Aaron Bentley)
1732
1733
* pycurl authentication handling was broken and incomplete. Fix handling of
1734
user:pass embedded in the urls.
1735
(Vincent Ladeuil, #177643)
1736
1737
* Files inside non-directories are now handled like other conflict types.
1738
(Aaron Bentley, #177390)
1739
1740
* ``reconfigure`` is able to convert trees into lightweight checkouts.
1741
(Aaron Bentley)
1742
1743
* Reduce lockdir timeout to 0 when running ``bzr serve``. (Andrew Bennetts,
1744
#148087)
1745
1746
* Test that the old ``version_info_format`` functions still work, even
1747
though they are deprecated. (John Arbash Meinel, ShenMaq, #177872)
1748
1749
* Transform failures no longer cause ImmortalLimbo errors (Aaron Bentley,
1750
#137681)
1751
1752
* ``uncommit`` works even when the commit messages of revisions to be
1753
removed use characters not supported in the terminal encoding.
1754
(Aaron Bentley)
1755
1756
* When dumb http servers return whole files instead of the requested ranges,
1757
read the remaining bytes by chunks to avoid overflowing network buffers.
1758
(Vincent Ladeuil, #175886)
1759
1760
DOCUMENTATION:
1761
1762
* Minor tweaks made to the bug tracker integration documentation.
1763
(Ian Clatworthy)
1764
1765
* Reference material has now be moved out of the User Guide and added
1766
to the User Reference. The User Reference has gained 4 sections as
1767
a result: Authenication Settings, Configuration Settings, Conflicts
1768
and Hooks. All help topics are now dumped into text format in the
1769
doc/en/user-reference directory for those who like browsing that
1770
information in their editor. (Ian Clatworthy)
1771
1772
* *Using Bazaar with Launchpad* tutorial added. (Ian Clatworthy)
1773
1774
INTERNALS:
1775
1776
* find_* methods available for BzrDirs, Branches and WorkingTrees.
1777
(Aaron Bentley)
1778
1779
* Help topics can now be loaded from files.
1780
(Ian Clatworthy, Alexander Belchenko)
1781
1782
* get_parent_map now always provides tuples as its output. (Aaron Bentley)
1783
1784
* Parent Providers should now implement ``get_parent_map`` returning a
1785
dictionary instead of ``get_parents`` returning a list.
1786
``Graph.get_parents`` is now deprecated. (John Arbash Meinel,
1787
Robert Collins)
1788
1789
* Patience Diff now supports arbitrary python objects, as long as they
1790
support ``hash()``. (John Arbash Meinel)
1791
1792
* Reduce selftest overhead to establish test names by memoization.
1793
(Vincent Ladeuil)
1794
1795
API BREAKS:
1796
1797
TESTING:
1798
1799
* Modules can now customise their tests by defining a ``load_tests``
1800
attribute. ``pydoc bzrlib.tests.TestUtil.TestLoader.loadTestsFromModule``
1801
for the documentation on this attribute. (Robert Collins)
1802
1803
* New helper function ``bzrlib.tests.condition_id_re`` which helps
1804
filter tests based on a regular expression search on the tests id.
1805
(Robert Collins)
1806
1807
* New helper function ``bzrlib.tests.condition_isinstance`` which helps
1808
filter tests based on class. (Robert Collins)
1809
1810
* New helper function ``bzrlib.tests.exclude_suite_by_condition`` which
1811
generalises the ``exclude_suite_by_re`` function. (Robert Collins)
1812
1813
* New helper function ``bzrlib.tests.filter_suite_by_condition`` which
1814
generalises the ``filter_suite_by_re`` function. (Robert Collins)
1815
1816
* New helper method ``bzrlib.tests.exclude_tests_by_re`` which gives a new
1817
TestSuite that does not contain tests from the input that matched a
1818
regular expression. (Robert Collins)
1819
1820
* New helper method ``bzrlib.tests.randomize_suite`` which returns a
1821
randomized copy of the input suite. (Robert Collins)
1822
1823
* New helper method ``bzrlib.tests.split_suite_by_re`` which splits a test
1824
suite into two according to a regular expression. (Robert Collins)
1825
1826
* Parametrize all http tests for the transport implementations, the http
1827
protocol versions (1.0 and 1.1) and the authentication schemes.
1828
(Vincent Ladeuil)
1829
1830
* The ``exclude_pattern`` and ``random_order`` parameters to the function
1831
``bzrlib.tests.filter_suite_by_re`` have been deprecated. (Robert Collins)
1832
1833
* The method ``bzrlib.tests.sort_suite_by_re`` has been deprecated. It is
1834
replaced by the new helper methods added in this release. (Robert Collins)

BUGFIXES:
1865
1866
* Fix Makefile rules for doc generation. (Ian Clatworthy, #175207)
1867
1868
* Give more feedback during long http downloads by making readv deliver data
1869
as it arrives for urllib, and issue more requests for pycurl. High latency
1870
networks are better handled by urllib, the pycurl implementation give more
1871
feedback but also incur more latency.
1872
(Vincent Ladeuil, #173010)

1886
* readv urllib http implementation is now a real iterator above the

IMPROVEMENTS:
1896
1897
* Added a --coverage option to selftest. (Andrew Bennetts)
1898
1899
* Annotate merge (merge-type=weave) now supports cherrypicking.
1900
(Aaron Bentley)
1901
1902
* ``bzr commit`` now doesn't print the revision number twice. (Matt
1903
Nordhoff, #172612)
1904
1905
* New configuration option ``bugtracker_<tracker_abbrevation>_url`` to
1906
define locations of bug trackers that are not directly supported by
1907
bzr or a plugin. The URL will be treated as a template and ``{id}``
1908
placeholders will be replaced by specific bug IDs. (Lukáš Lalinský)
1909
1910
* Support logging single merge revisions with short and line log formatters.
1911
(Kent Gibson)
1912
1913
* User Guide enhanced with suggested readability improvements from
1914
Matt Revell and corrections from John Arbash Meinel. (Ian Clatworthy)
1915
1916
* Quick Start Guide renamed to Quick Start Card, moved down in
1917
the catalog, provided in pdf and png format and updated to refer
1918
to ``send`` instead of ``bundle``. (Ian Clatworthy, #165080)
1919
1920
* ``switch`` can now be used on heavyweight checkouts as well as
1921
lightweight ones. After switching a heavyweight checkout, the
1922
local branch is a mirror/cache of the new bound branch and
1923
uncommitted changes in the working tree are merged. As a safety
1924
check, if there are local commits in a checkout which have not
1925
been committed to the previously bound branch, then ``switch``
1926
fails unless the ``--force`` option is given. This option is
1927
now also required if the branch a lightweight checkout is pointing
1928
to has been moved. (Ian Clatworthy)
1929
1930
INTERNALS:
1931
1932
* New -Dhttp debug option reports http connections, requests and responses.
1933
(Vincent Ladeuil)
1934
1935
* New -Dmerge debug option, which emits merge plans for merge-type=weave.
1936
1937
BUGFIXES:
1938
1939
* Better error message when running ``bzr cat`` on a non-existant branch.
1940
(Lukáš Lalinský, #133782)
1941
1942
* Catch OSError 17 (file exists) in final phase of tree transform and show
1943
filename to user.
1944
(Alexander Belchenko, #111758)
1945
1946
* Catch ShortReadvErrors while using pycurl. Also make readv more robust by
1947
allowing multiple GET requests to be issued if too many ranges are
1948
required.
1949
(Vincent Ladeuil, #172701)
1950
1951
* Check for missing basis texts when fetching from packs to packs.
1952
(John Arbash Meinel, #165290)
1953
1954
* Fall back to showing e-mail in ``log --short/--line`` if the
1955
committer/author has only e-mail. (Lukáš Lalinský, #157026)
1956
1957
API BREAKS:
1958
1959

1964
---------------------
1965
1966
NOTES WHEN UPGRADING:
1967
1968
* The default repository format is now ``pack-0.92``. This
1969
default is used when creating new repositories with ``init`` and
1970
``init-repo``, and when branching over bzr+ssh or bzr+hpss.
1971
(See https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/164626)
1972
1973
This format can be read and written by Bazaar 0.92 and later, and
1974
data can be transferred to and from older formats.
1975
1976
To upgrade, please reconcile your repository (``bzr reconcile``), and then
1977
upgrade (``bzr upgrade``).
1978
1979
``pack-0.92`` offers substantially better scaling and performance than the
1980
previous knits format. Some operations are slower where the code already
1981
had bad scaling characteristics under knits, the pack format makes such
1982
operations more visible as part of being more scalable overall. We will
1983
correct such operations over the coming releases and encourage the filing
1984
of bugs on any operation which you observe to be slower in a packs
1985
repository. One particular case that we do not intend to fix is pulling
1986
data from a pack repository into a knit repository over a high latency
1987
link; downgrading such data requires reinsertion of the file texts, and
1988
this is a classic space/time tradeoff. The current implementation is
1989
conservative on memory usage because we need to support converting data
1990
from any tree without problems.
1991
(Robert Collins, Martin Pool, #164476)
1992
1993
CHANGES:
1994
1995
* Disable detection of plink.exe as possible ssh vendor. Plink vendor
1996
still available if user selects it explicitly with BZR_SSH environment
1997
variable. (Alexander Belchenko, workaround for bug #107593)
1998
1999
* The pack format is now accessible as "pack-0.92", or "pack-0.92-subtree"
2000
to enable the subtree functions (for example, for bzr-svn).
2001
See http://doc.bazaar-vcs.org/latest/developer/packrepo.html
2002
(Martin Pool)
2003
2004
FEATURES:
2005
2006
* New ``authentication.conf`` file holding the password or other credentials
2007
for remote servers. This can be used for ssh, sftp, smtp and other
2008
supported transports.
2009
(Vincent Ladeuil)
2010
2011
* New rich-root and rich-root-pack formats, recording the same data about
2012
tree roots that's recorded for all other directories.
2013
(Aaron Bentley, #164639)
2014
2015
* ``pack-0.92`` repositories can now be reconciled.
2016
(Robert Collins, #154173)
2017
2018
* ``switch`` command added for changing the branch a lightweight checkout
2019
is associated with and updating the tree to reflect the latest content
2020
accordingly. This command was previously part of the BzrTools plug-in.
2021
(Ian Clatworthy, Aaron Bentley, David Allouche)
2022
2023
* ``reconfigure`` command can now convert branches, trees, or checkouts to
2024
lightweight checkouts. (Aaron Bentley)
2025
2026
PERFORMANCE:
2027
2028
* Commit updates the state of the working tree via a delta rather than
2029
supplying entirely new basis trees. For commit of a single specified file
2030
this reduces the wall clock time for commit by roughly a 30%.
2031
(Robert Collins, Martin Pool)
2032
2033
* Commit with many automatically found deleted paths no longer performs
2034
linear scanning for the children of those paths during inventory
2035
iteration. This should fix commit performance blowing out when many such
2036
paths occur during commit. (Robert Collins, #156491)
2037
2038
* Fetch with pack repositories will no longer read the entire history graph.
2039
(Robert Collins, #88319)
2040
2041
* Revert takes out an appropriate lock when reverting to a basis tree, and
2042
does not read the basis inventory twice. (Robert Collins)
2043
2044
* Diff does not require an inventory to be generated on dirstate trees.
2045
(Aaron Bentley, #149254)
2046
2047
* New annotate merge (--merge-type=weave) implementation is fast on
2048
versionedfiles withough cached annotations, e.g. pack-0.92.
2049
(Aaron Bentley)
2050
2051
IMPROVEMENTS:
2052
2053
* ``bzr merge`` now warns when it encounters a criss-cross merge.
2054
(Aaron Bentley)
2055
2056
* ``bzr send`` now doesn't require the target e-mail address to be
2057
specified on the command line if an interactive e-mail client is used.
2058
(Lukáš Lalinský)
2059
2060
* ``bzr tags`` now prints the revision number for each tag, instead of
2061
the revision id, unless --show-ids is passed. In addition, tags can be
2062
sorted chronologically instead of lexicographically with --sort=time.
2063
(Adeodato Simó, #120231)
2064
2065
* Windows standalone version of bzr is able to load system-wide plugins from
2066
"plugins" subdirectory in installation directory. In addition standalone
2067
installer write to the registry (HKLM\SOFTWARE\Bazaar) useful info
2068
about paths and bzr version. (Alexander Belchenko, #129298)

2075
(Robert Collins, #157789, #159147)
2076
2077
* Branching from a branch via smart server now preserves the repository
2078
format. (Andrew Bennetts, #164626)
2079
2080
* ``commit`` is now able to invoke an external editor in a non-ascii
2081
directory. (Daniel Watkins, #84043)
2082
2083
* Catch connection errors for ftp.
2084
(Vincent Ladeuil, #164567)
2085
2086
* ``check`` no longer reports spurious unreferenced text versions.
2087
(Robert Collins, John A Meinel, #162931, #165071)
2088
2089
* Conflicts are now resolved recursively by ``revert``.

(Aaron Bentley, #102739)
2091
2092
* Detect invalid transport reuse attempts by catching invalid URLs.
2093
(Vincent Ladeuil, #161819)

* Deleting a file without removing it shows a correct diff, not a traceback.
2096
(Aaron Bentley)
2097
2098
* Do no use timeout in HttpServer anymore.
2099
(Vincent Ladeuil, #158972).
2100
2101
* Don't catch the exceptions related to the http pipeline status before
2102
retrying an http request or some programming errors may be masked.
2103
(Vincent Ladeuil, #160012)
2104
2105
* Fix ``bzr rm`` to not delete modified and ignored files.
2106
(Lukáš Lalinský, #172598)
2107
2108
* Fix exception when revisionspec contains merge revisons but log
2109
formatter doesn't support merge revisions. (Kent Gibson, #148908)
2110
2111
* Fix exception when ScopeReplacer is assigned to before any members have
2112
been retrieved. (Aaron Bentley)
2113
2114
* Fix multiple connections during checkout --lightweight.
2115
(Vincent Ladeuil, #159150)
2116
2117
* Fix possible error in insert_data_stream when copying between
2118
pack repositories over bzr+ssh or bzr+http.
2119
KnitVersionedFile.get_data_stream now makes sure that requested
2120
compression parents are sent before any delta hunks that depend
2121
on them.
2122
(Martin Pool, #164637)
2123
2124
* Fix typo in limiting offsets coalescing for http, leading to
2125
whole files being downloaded instead of parts.
2126
(Vincent Ladeuil, #165061)
2127
2128
* FTP server errors don't error in the error handling code.
2129
(Robert Collins, #161240)
2130
2131
* Give a clearer message when a pull fails because the source needs
2132
to be reconciled.
2133
(Martin Pool, #164443)
2134
2135
* It is clearer when a plugin cannot be loaded because of its name, and a
2136
suggestion for an acceptable name is given. (Daniel Watkins, #103023)
2137
2138
* Leave port as None in transport objects if user doesn't
2139
specify a port in urls.
2140
(vincent Ladeuil, #150860)
2141
2142
* Make sure Repository.fetch(self) is properly a no-op for all
2143
Repository implementations. (John Arbash Meinel, #158333)
2144
2145
* Mark .bzr directories as "hidden" on Windows.
2146
(Alexander Belchenko, #71147)
2147
2148
* ``merge --uncommitted`` can now operate on a single file.
2149
(Aaron Bentley, Lukáš Lalinský, #136890)
2150
2151
* Obsolete packs are now cleaned up by pack and autopack operations.
2152
(Robert Collins, #153789)
2153
2154
* Operations pulling data from a smart server where the underlying
2155
repositories are not both annotated/both unannotated will now work.
2156
(Robert Collins, #165304).
2157
2158
* Reconcile now shows progress bars. (Robert Collins, #159351)
2159
2160
* ``RemoteBranch`` was not initializing ``self._revision_id_to_revno_map``
2161
properly. (John Arbash Meinel, #162486)
2162
2163
* Removing an already-removed file reports the file does not exist. (Daniel
2164
Watkins, #152811)
2165
2166
* Rename on Windows is able to change filename case.
2167
(Alexander Belchenko, #77740)
2168
2169
* Return error instead of a traceback for ``bzr log -r0``.
2170
(Kent Gibson, #133751)
2171
2172
* Return error instead of a traceback when bzr is unable to create
2173
symlink on some platforms (e.g. on Windows).
2174
(Alexander Belchenko, workaround for #81689)
2175
2176
* Revert doesn't crash when restoring a single file from a deleted
2177
directory. (Aaron Bentley)
2178
2179
* Stderr output via logging mechanism now goes through encoded wrapper
2180
and no more uses utf-8, but terminal encoding instead. So all unicode
2181
strings now should be readable in non-utf-8 terminal.
2182
(Alexander Belchenko, #54173)
2183
2184
* The error message when ``move --after`` should be used makes how to do so
2185
clearer. (Daniel Watkins, #85237)
2186
2187
* Unicode-safe output from ``bzr info``. The output will be encoded
2188
using the terminal encoding and unrepresentable characters will be
2189
replaced by '?'. (Lukáš Lalinský, #151844)
2190
2191
* Working trees are no longer created when pushing into a local no-trees
2192
repo. (Daniel Watkins, #50582)
2193
2194
* Upgrade util/configobj to version 4.4.0.
2195
(Vincent Ladeuil, #151208).
2196
2197
* Wrap medusa ftp test server as an FTPServer feature.
2198
(Vincent Ladeuil, #157752)
2199
2200
API BREAKS:
2201
2202
* ``osutils.backup_file`` is deprecated. Actually it's not used in bzrlib
2203
during very long time. (Alexander Belchenko)
2204
2205
* The return value of
2206
``VersionedFile.iter_lines_added_or_present_in_versions`` has been
2207
changed. Previously it was an iterator of lines, now it is an iterator of
2208
(line, version_id) tuples. This change has been made to aid reconcile and
2209
fetch operations. (Robert Collins)
2210
2211
* ``bzrlib.repository.get_versioned_file_checker`` is now private.
2212
(Robert Collins)
2213
2214
* The Repository format registry default has been removed; it was previously
2215
obsoleted by the bzrdir format default, which implies a default repository
2216
format.
2217
(Martin Pool)
2218
2219
INTERNALS:
2220
2221
* Added ``ContainerSerialiser`` and ``ContainerPushParser`` to
2222
``bzrlib.pack``. These classes provide more convenient APIs for generating
2223
and parsing containers from streams rather than from files. (Andrew
2224
Bennetts)
2225
2226
* New module ``lru_cache`` providing a cache for use by tasks that need
2227
semi-random access to large amounts of data. (John A Meinel)
2228
2229
* InventoryEntry.diff is now deprecated. Please use diff.DiffTree instead.

2245
NOTES WHEN UPGRADING:
2246
2247
CHANGES:
2248
2249
* ``bzr`` now returns exit code 4 if an internal error occurred, and
2250
3 if a normal error occurred. (Martin Pool)
2251
2252
* ``pull``, ``merge`` and ``push`` will no longer silently correct some
2253
repository index errors that occured as a result of the Weave disk format.
2254
Instead the ``reconcile`` command needs to be run to correct those
2255
problems if they exist (and it has been able to fix most such problems
2256
since bzr 0.8). Some new problems have been identified during this release
2257
and you should run ``bzr check`` once on every repository to see if you
2258
need to reconcile. If you cannot ``pull`` or ``merge`` from a remote
2259
repository due to mismatched parent errors - a symptom of index errors -
2260
you should simply take a full copy of that remote repository to a clean
2261
directory outside any local repositories, then run reconcile on it, and
2262
finally pull from it locally. (And naturally email the repositories owner
2263
to ask them to upgrade and run reconcile).
2264
(Robert Collins)
2265
2266
FEATURES:
2267
2268
* New ``knitpack-experimental`` repository format. This is interoperable with
2269
the ``dirstate-tags`` format but uses a smarter storage design that greatly
2270
speeds up many operations, both local and remote. This new format can be
2271
used as an option to the ``init``, ``init-repository`` and ``upgrade``
2272
commands. See http://doc.bazaar-vcs.org/0.92/developers/knitpack.html
2273
for further details. (Robert Collins)
2274
2275
* For users of bzr-svn (and those testing the prototype subtree support) that
2276
wish to try packs, a new ``knitpack-subtree-experimental`` format has also
2277
been added. This is interoperable with the ``dirstate-subtrees`` format.
2278
(Robert Collins)
2279
2280
* New ``reconfigure`` command. (Aaron Bentley)
2281
2282
* New ``revert --forget-merges`` command, which removes the record of a pending
2283
merge without affecting the working tree contents. (Martin Pool)
2284
2285
* New ``bzr_remote_path`` configuration variable allows finer control of
2286
remote bzr locations than BZR_REMOTE_PATH environment variable.
2287
(Aaron Bentley)
2288
2289
* New ``launchpad-login`` command to tell Bazaar your Launchpad
2290
user ID. This can then be used by other functions of the
2291
Launchpad plugin. (James Henstridge)
2292
2293
PERFORMANCE:
2294
2295
* Commit in quiet mode is now slightly faster as the information to
2296
output is no longer calculated. (Ian Clatworthy)
2297
2298
* Commit no longer checks for new text keys during insertion when the
2299
revision id was deterministically unique. (Robert Collins)
2300
2301
* Committing a change which is not a merge and does not change the number of
2302
files in the tree is faster by utilising the data about whether files are
2303
changed to determine if the tree is unchanged rather than recalculating
2304
it at the end of the commit process. (Robert Collins)
2305
2306
* Inventory serialisation no longer double-sha's the content.
2307
(Robert Collins)
2308
2309
* Knit text reconstruction now avoids making copies of the lines list for
2310
interim texts when building a single text. The new ``apply_delta`` method
2311
on ``KnitContent`` aids this by allowing modification of the revision id
2312
such objects represent. (Robert Collins)
2313
2314
* Pack indices are now partially parsed for specific key lookup using a
2315
bisection approach. (Robert Collins)
2316
2317
* Partial commits are now approximately 40% faster by walking over the
2318
unselected current tree more efficiently. (Robert Collins)
2319
2320
* XML inventory serialisation takes 20% less time while being stricter about
2321
the contents. (Robert Collins)
2322
2323
* Graph ``heads()`` queries have been fixed to no longer access all history
2324
unnecessarily. (Robert Collins)
2325
2326
IMPROVEMENTS:
2327
2328
* ``bzr+https://`` smart server across https now supported.
2329
(John Ferlito, Martin Pool, #128456)
2330
2331
* Mutt is now a supported mail client; set ``mail_client=mutt`` in your
2332
bazaar.conf and ``send`` will use mutt. (Keir Mierle)
2333
2334
* New option ``-c``/``--change`` for ``merge`` command for cherrypicking
2335
changes from one revision. (Alexander Belchenko, #141368)
2336
2337
* Show encodings, locale and list of plugins in the traceback message.
2338
(Martin Pool, #63894)
2339
2340
* Experimental directory formats can now be marked with
2341
``experimental = True`` during registration. (Ian Clatworthy)
2342
2343
DOCUMENTATION:
2344
2345
* New *Bazaar in Five Minutes* guide. (Matthew Revell)
2346
2347
* The hooks reference documentation is now converted to html as expected.
2348
(Ian Clatworthy)
2349
2350
BUG FIXES:
2351
2352
* Connection error reporting for the smart server has been fixed to
2353
display a user friendly message instead of a traceback.
2354
(Ian Clatworthy, #115601)
2355
2356
* Make sure to use ``O_BINARY`` when opening files to check their
2357
sha1sum. (Alexander Belchenko, John Arbash Meinel, #153493)
2358
2359
* Fix a problem with Win32 handling of the executable bit.
2360
(John Arbash Meinel, #149113)
2361
2362
* ``bzr+ssh://`` and ``sftp://`` URLs that do not specify ports explicitly
2363
no longer assume that means port 22. This allows people using OpenSSH to
2364
override the default port in their ``~/.ssh/config`` if they wish. This
2365
fixes a bug introduced in bzr 0.91. (Andrew Bennetts, #146715)
2366
2367
* Commands reporting exceptions can now be profiled and still have their
2368
data correctly dumped to a file. For example, a ``bzr commit`` with
2369
no changes still reports the operation as pointless but doing so no
2370
longer throws away the profiling data if this command is run with
2371
``--lsprof-file callgrind.out.ci`` say. (Ian Clatworthy)
2372
2373
* Fallback to ftp when paramiko is not installed and sftp can't be used for
2374
``tests/commands`` so that the test suite is still usable without
2375
paramiko.
2376
(Vincent Ladeuil, #59150)
2377
2378
* Fix commit ordering in corner case. (Aaron Bentley, #94975)
2379
2380
* Fix long standing bug in partial commit when there are renames
2381
left in tree. (Robert Collins, #140419)
2382
2383
* Fix selftest semi-random noise during http related tests.
2384
(Vincent Ladeuil, #140614)
2385
2386
* Fix typo in ftp.py making the reconnection fail on temporary errors.
2387
(Vincent Ladeuil, #154259)
2388
2389
* Fix failing test by comparing real paths to cover the case where the TMPDIR
2390
contains a symbolic link.
2391
(Vincent Ladeuil, #141382).
2392
2393
* Fix log against smart server branches that don't support tags.
2394
(James Westby, #140615)
2395
2396
* Fix pycurl http implementation by defining error codes from
2397
pycurl instead of relying on an old curl definition.
2398
(Vincent Ladeuil, #147530)
2399
2400
* Fix 'unprintable error' message when displaying BzrCheckError and
2401
some other exceptions on Python 2.5.
2402
(Martin Pool, #144633)
2403
2404
* Fix ``Inventory.copy()`` and add test for it. (Jelmer Vernooij)
2405
2406
* Handles default value for ListOption in cmd_commit.
2407
(Vincent Ladeuil, #140432)
2408
2409
* HttpServer and FtpServer need to be closed properly or a listening socket
2410
will remain opened.
2411
(Vincent Ladeuil, #140055)
2412
2413
* Monitor the .bzr directory created in the top level test
2414
directory to detect leaking tests.
2415
(Vincent Ladeuil, #147986)
2416
2417
* The basename, not the full path, is now used when checking whether
2418
the profiling dump file begins with ``callgrind.out`` or not. This
2419
fixes a bug reported by Aaron Bentley on IRC. (Ian Clatworthy)
2420
2421
* Trivial fix for invoking command ``reconfigure`` without arguments.
2422
(Rob Weir, #141629)
2423
2424
* ``WorkingTree.rename_one`` will now raise an error if normalisation of the
2425
new path causes bzr to be unable to access the file. (Robert Collins)
2426
2427
* Correctly detect a NoSuchFile when using a filezilla server. (Gary van der
2428
Merwe)
2429
2430
API BREAKS:
2431
2432
* ``bzrlib.index.GraphIndex`` now requires a size parameter to the
2433
constructor, for enabling bisection searches. (Robert Collins)
2434
2435
* ``CommitBuilder.record_entry_contents`` now requires the root entry of a
2436
tree be supplied to it, previously failing to do so would trigger a
2437
deprecation warning. (Robert Collins)
2438
2439
* ``KnitVersionedFile.add*`` will no longer cache added records even when
2440
enable_cache() has been called - the caching feature is now exclusively for
2441
reading existing data. (Robert Collins)
2442
2443
* ``ReadOnlyLockError`` is deprecated; ``LockFailed`` is usually more
2444
appropriate. (Martin Pool)
2445
2446
* Removed ``bzrlib.transport.TransportLogger`` - please see the new
2447
``trace+`` transport instead. (Robert Collins)
2448
2449
* Removed previously deprecated varargs interface to ``TestCase.run_bzr`` and
2450
deprecated methods ``TestCase.capture`` and ``TestCase.run_bzr_captured``.
2451
(Martin Pool)
2452
2453
* Removed previous deprecated ``basis_knit`` parameter to the
2454
``KnitVersionedFile`` constructor. (Robert Collins)
2455
2456
* Special purpose method ``TestCase.run_bzr_decode`` is moved to the test_non_ascii
2457
class that needs it.
2458
(Martin Pool)
2459
2460
* The class ``bzrlib.repofmt.knitrepo.KnitRepository3`` has been folded into
2461
``KnitRepository`` by parameters to the constructor. (Robert Collins)
2462
2463
* The ``VersionedFile`` interface now allows content checks to be bypassed
2464
by supplying check_content=False. This saves nearly 30% of the minimum
2465
cost to store a version of a file. (Robert Collins)
2466
2467
* Tree's with bad state such as files with no length or sha will no longer
2468
be silently accepted by the repository XML serialiser. To serialise
2469
inventories without such data, pass working=True to write_inventory.
2470
(Robert Collins)
2471
2472
* ``VersionedFile.fix_parents`` has been removed as a harmful API.
2473
``VersionedFile.join`` will no longer accept different parents on either
2474
side of a join - it will either ignore them, or error, depending on the
2475
implementation. See notes when upgrading for more information.
2476
(Robert Collins)
2477
2478
INTERNALS:
2479
2480
* ``bzrlib.transport.Transport.put_file`` now returns the number of bytes
2481
put by the method call, to allow avoiding stat-after-write or
2482
housekeeping in callers. (Robert Collins)
2483
2484
* ``bzrlib.xml_serializer.Serializer`` is now responsible for checking that
2485
mandatory attributes are present on serialisation and deserialisation.
2486
This fixes some holes in API usage and allows better separation between
2487
physical storage and object serialisation. (Robert Collins)
2488
2489
* New class ``bzrlib.errors.InternalBzrError`` which is just a convenient
2490
shorthand for deriving from BzrError and setting internal_error = True.
2491
(Robert Collins)
2492
2493
* New method ``bzrlib.mutabletree.update_to_one_parent_via_delta`` for
2494
moving the state of a parent tree to a new version via a delta rather than
2495
a complete replacement tree. (Robert Collins)
2496
2497
* New method ``bzrlib.osutils.minimum_path_selection`` useful for removing
2498
duplication from user input, when a user mentions both a path and an item
2499
contained within that path. (Robert Collins)
2500
2501
* New method ``bzrlib.repository.Repository.is_write_locked`` useful for
2502
determining if a repository is write locked. (Robert Collins)
2503
2504
* New method on ``bzrlib.tree.Tree`` ``path_content_summary`` provides a
2505
tuple containing the key information about a path for commit processing
2506
to complete. (Robert Collins)
2507
2508
* New method on xml serialisers, write_inventory_to_lines, which matches the
2509
API used by knits for adding content. (Robert Collins)
2510
2511
* New module ``bzrlib.bisect_multi`` with generic multiple-bisection-at-once
2512
logic, currently only available for byte-based lookup
2513
(``bisect_multi_bytes``). (Robert Collins)
2514
2515
* New helper ``bzrlib.tuned_gzip.bytes_to_gzip`` which takes a byte string
2516
and returns a gzipped version of the same. This is used to avoid a bunch
2517
of api friction during adding of knit hunks. (Robert Collins)
2518
2519
* New parameter on ``bzrlib.transport.Transport.readv``
2520
``adjust_for_latency`` which changes readv from returning strictly the
2521
requested data to inserted return larger ranges and in forward read order
2522
to reduce the effect of network latency. (Robert Collins)
2523
2524
* New parameter yield_parents on ``Inventory.iter_entries_by_dir`` which
2525
causes the parents of a selected id to be returned recursively, so all the
2526
paths from the root down to each element of selected_file_ids are
2527
returned. (Robert Collins)
2528
2529
* Knit joining has been enhanced to support plain to annotated conversion
2530
and annotated to plain conversion. (Ian Clatworthy)
2531
2532
* The CommitBuilder method ``record_entry_contents`` now returns summary
2533
information about the effect of the commit on the repository. This tuple
2534
contains an inventory delta item if the entry changed from the basis, and a
2535
boolean indicating whether a new file graph node was recorded.
2536
(Robert Collins)
2537
2538
* The python path used in the Makefile can now be overridden.
2539
(Andrew Bennetts, Ian Clatworthy)
2540
2541
TESTING:
2542
2543
* New transport implementation ``trace+`` which is useful for testing,
2544
logging activity taken to its _activity attribute. (Robert Collins)
2545
2546
* When running bzr commands within the test suite, internal exceptions are
2547
not caught and reported in the usual way, but rather allowed to propagate
2548
up and be visible to the test suite. A new API ``run_bzr_catch_user_errors``
2549
makes this behavior available to other users.
2550
(Martin Pool)
2551
2552
* New method ``TestCase.call_catch_warnings`` for testing methods that
2553
raises a Python warning. (Martin Pool)
2554
2555
2556
bzr 0.91 2007-09-26
2557
-------------------
2558
2559
BUG FIXES:
2560
2561
* Print a warning instead of aborting the ``python setup.py install``
2562
process if building of a C extension is not possible.
2563
(Lukáš Lalinský, Alexander Belchenko)
2564
2565
* Fix commit ordering in corner case (Aaron Bentley, #94975)
2566
2567
* Fix ''bzr info bzr://host/'' and other operations on ''bzr://' URLs with
2568
an implicit port. We were incorrectly raising PathNotChild due to
2569
inconsistent treatment of the ''_port'' attribute on the Transport object.
2570
(Andrew Bennetts, #133965)
2571
2572
* Make RemoteRepository.sprout cope gracefully with servers that don't
2573
support the ``Repository.tarball`` request.
2574
(Andrew Bennetts)
2575
2576
2577
bzr 0.91rc2 2007-09-11
2578
----------------------
2579
2580
* Replaced incorrect tarball for previous release; a debug statement was left
2581
in bzrlib/remote.py.
2582
2583
2584
bzr 0.91rc1 2007-09-11
2585
----------------------
2586
2587
CHANGES:
2588
2589
* The default branch and repository format has changed to
2590
``dirstate-tags``, so tag commands are active by default.
2591
This format is compatible with Bazaar 0.15 and later.
2592
This incidentally fixes bug #126141.
2593
(Martin Pool)
2594
2595
* ``--quiet`` or ``-q`` is no longer a global option. If present, it
2596
must now appear after the command name. Scripts doing things like
2597
``bzr -q missing`` need to be rewritten as ``bzr missing -q``.
2598
(Ian Clatworthy)
2599
2600
FEATURES:
2601
2602
* New option ``--author`` in ``bzr commit`` to specify the author of the
2603
change, if it's different from the committer. ``bzr log`` and
2604
``bzr annotate`` display the author instead of the committer.
2605
(Lukáš Lalinský)
2606
2607
* In addition to global options and command specific options, a set of
2608
standard options are now supported. Standard options are legal for
2609
all commands. The initial set of standard options are:
2610
2611
* ``--help`` or ``-h`` - display help message
2612
* ``--verbose`` or ``-v`` - display additional information
2613
* ``--quiet`` or ``-q`` - only output warnings and errors.
2614
2615
Unlike global options, standard options can be used in aliases and
2616
may have command-specific help. (Ian Clatworthy)
2617
2618
* Verbosity level processing has now been unified. If ``--verbose``
2619
or ``-v`` is specified on the command line multiple times, the
2620
verbosity level is made positive the first time then increased.
2621
If ``--quiet`` or ``-q`` is specified on the command line
2622
multiple times, the verbosity level is made negative the first
2623
time then decreased. To get the default verbosity level of zero,
2624
either specify none of the above , ``--no-verbose`` or ``--no-quiet``.
2625
Note that most commands currently ignore the magnitude of the
2626
verbosity level but do respect *quiet vs normal vs verbose* when
2627
generating output. (Ian Clatworthy)
2628
2629
* ``Branch.hooks`` now supports ``pre_commit`` hook. The hook's signature
2630
is documented in BranchHooks constructor. (Nam T. Nguyen, #102747)
2631
2632
* New ``Repository.stream_knit_data_for_revisions`` request added to the
2633
network protocol for greatly reduced roundtrips when retrieving a set of
2634
revisions. (Andrew Bennetts)
2635
2636
BUG FIXES:
2637
2638
* ``bzr plugins`` now lists the version number for each plugin in square
2639
brackets after the path. (Robert Collins, #125421)
2640
2641
* Pushing, pulling and branching branches with subtree references was not
2642
copying the subtree weave, preventing the file graph from being accessed
2643
and causing errors in commits in clones. (Robert Collins)
2644
2645
* Suppress warning "integer argument expected, got float" from Paramiko,
2646
which sometimes caused false test failures. (Martin Pool)
2647
2648
* Fix bug in bundle 4 that could cause attempts to write data to wrong
2649
versionedfile. (Aaron Bentley)
2650
2651
* Diffs generated using "diff -p" no longer break the patch parser.
2652
(Aaron Bentley)
2653
2654
* get_transport treats an empty possible_transports list the same as a non-
2655
empty one. (Aaron Bentley)
2656
2657
* patch verification for merge directives is reactivated, and works with
2658
CRLF and CR files. (Aaron Bentley)
2659
2660
* Accept ..\ as a path in revision specifiers. This fixes for example
2661
"-r branch:..\other-branch" on Windows. (Lukáš Lalinský)
2662
2663
* ``BZR_PLUGIN_PATH`` may now contain trailing slashes.
2664
(Blake Winton, #129299)
2665
2666
* man page no longer lists hidden options (#131667, Aaron Bentley)
2667
2668
* ``uncommit --help`` now explains the -r option adequately. (Daniel
2669
Watkins, #106726)
2670
2671
* Error messages are now better formatted with parameters (such as
2672
filenames) quoted when necessary. This avoids confusion when directory
2673
names ending in a '.' at the end of messages were confused with a
2674
full stop that may or not have been there. (Daniel Watkins, #129791)
2675
2676
* Fix ``status FILE -r X..Y``. (Lukáš Lalinský)
2677
2678
* If a particular command is an alias, ``help`` will show the alias
2679
instead of claiming there is no help for said alias. (Daniel Watkins,
2680
#133548)
2681
2682
* TreeTransform-based operations, like pull, merge, revert, and branch,
2683
now roll back if they encounter an error. (Aaron Bentley, #67699)
2684
2685
* ``bzr commit`` now exits cleanly if a character unsupported by the
2686
current encoding is used in the commit message. (Daniel Watkins,
2687
#116143)
2688
2689
* bzr send uses default values for ranges when only half of an elipsis
2690
is specified ("-r..5" or "-r5.."). (#61685, Aaron Bentley)
2691
2692
* Avoid trouble when Windows ssh calls itself 'plink' but no plink
2693
binary is present. (Martin Albisetti, #107155)
2694
2695
* ``bzr remove`` should remove clean subtrees. Now it will remove (without
2696
needing ``--force``) subtrees that contain no files with text changes or
2697
modified files. With ``--force`` it removes the subtree regardless of
2698
text changes or unknown files. Directories with renames in or out (but
2699
not changed otherwise) will now be removed without needing ``--force``.
2700
Unknown ignored files will be deleted without needing ``--force``.
2701
(Marius Kruger, #111665)
2702
2703
* When two plugins conflict, the source of both the losing and now the
2704
winning definition is shown. (Konstantin Mikhaylov, #5454)
2705
2706
* When committing to a branch, the location being committed to is
2707
displayed. (Daniel Watkins, #52479)
2708
2709
* ``bzr --version`` takes care about encoding of stdout, especially
2710
when output is redirected. (Alexander Belchenko, #131100)
2711
2712
* Prompt for an ftp password if none is provided.
2713
(Vincent Ladeuil, #137044)
2714
2715
* Reuse bound branch associated transport to avoid multiple
2716
connections.
2717
(Vincent Ladeuil, #128076, #131396)
2718
2719
* Overwrite conflicting tags by ``push`` and ``pull`` if the
2720
``--overwrite`` option is specified. (Lukáš Lalinský, #93947)
2721
2722
* In checkouts, tags are copied into the master branch when created,
2723
changed or deleted, and are copied into the checkout when it is
2724
updated. (Martin Pool, #93856, #93860)
2725
2726
* Print a warning instead of aborting the ``python setup.py install``
2727
process if building of a C extension is not possible.
2728
(Lukáš Lalinský, Alexander Belchenko)
2729
2730
IMPROVEMENTS:
2731
2732
* Add the option "--show-diff" to the commit command in order to display
2733
the diff during the commit log creation. (Goffredo Baroncelli)
2734
2735
* ``pull`` and ``merge`` are much faster at installing bundle format 4.
2736
(Aaron Bentley)
2737
2738
* ``pull -v`` no longer includes deltas, making it much faster.
2739
(Aaron Bentley)
2740
2741
* ``send`` now sends the directive as an attachment by default.
2742
(Aaron Bentley, Lukáš Lalinský, Alexander Belchenko)
2743
2744
* Documentation updates (Martin Albisetti)
2745
2746
* Help on debug flags is now included in ``help global-options``.
2747
(Daniel Watkins, #124853)
2748
2749
* Parameters passed on the command line are checked to ensure they are
2750
supported by the encoding in use. (Daniel Watkins)
2751
2752
* The compression used within the bzr repository has changed from zlib
2753
level 9 to the zlib default level. This improves commit performance with
2754
only a small increase in space used (and in some cases a reduction in
2755
space). (Robert Collins)
2756
2757
* Initial commit no longer SHAs files twice and now reuses the path
2758
rather than looking it up again, making it faster.
2759
(Ian Clatworthy)
2760
2761
* New option ``-c``/``--change`` for ``diff`` and ``status`` to show
2762
changes in one revision. (Lukáš Lalinský)
2763
2764
* If versioned files match a given ignore pattern, a warning is now
2765
given. (Daniel Watkins, #48623)
2766
2767
* ``bzr status`` now has -S as a short name for --short and -V as a
2768
short name for --versioned. These have been added to assist users
2769
migrating from Subversion: ``bzr status -SV`` is now like
2770
``svn status -q``. (Daniel Watkins, #115990)
2771
2772
* Added C implementation of ``PatienceSequenceMatcher``, which is about
2773
10x faster than the Python version. This speeds up commands that
2774
need file diffing, such as ``bzr commit`` or ``bzr diff``.
2775
(Lukáš Lalinský)
2776
2777
* HACKING has been extended with a large section on core developer tasks.
2778
(Ian Clatworthy)
2779
2780
* Add ``branches`` and ``standalone-trees`` as online help topics and
2781
include them as Concepts within the User Reference.
2782
(Paul Moore, Ian Clatworthy)
2783
2784
* ``check`` can detect versionedfile parent references that are
2785
inconsistent with revision and inventory info, and ``reconcile`` can fix
2786
them. These faulty references were generated by 0.8-era releases,
2787
so repositories which were manipulated by old bzrs should be
2788
checked, and possibly reconciled ASAP. (Aaron Bentley, Andrew Bennetts)
2789
2790
API BREAKS:
2791
2792
* ``Branch.append_revision`` is removed altogether; please use
2793
``Branch.set_last_revision_info`` instead. (Martin Pool)
2794
2795
* CommitBuilder now advertises itself as requiring the root entry to be
2796
supplied. This only affects foreign repository implementations which reuse
2797
CommitBuilder directly and have changed record_entry_contents to require
2798
that the root not be supplied. This should be precisely zero plugins
2799
affected. (Robert Collins)
2800
2801
* The ``add_lines`` methods on ``VersionedFile`` implementations has changed
2802
its return value to include the sha1 and length of the inserted text. This
2803
allows the avoidance of double-sha1 calculations during commit.
2804
(Robert Collins)
2805
2806
* ``Transport.should_cache`` has been removed. It was not called in the
2807
previous release. (Martin Pool)
2808
2809
TESTING:
2810
2811
* Tests may now raise TestNotApplicable to indicate they shouldn't be
2812
run in a particular scenario. (Martin Pool)
2813
2814
* New function multiply_tests_from_modules to give a simpler interface
2815
to test parameterization. (Martin Pool, Robert Collins)
2816
2817
* ``Transport.should_cache`` has been removed. It was not called in the
2818
previous release. (Martin Pool)
2819
2820
* NULL_REVISION is returned to indicate the null revision, not None.
2821
(Aaron Bentley)
2822
2823
* Use UTF-8 encoded StringIO for log tests to avoid failures on
2824
non-ASCII committer names. (Lukáš Lalinský)
2825
2826
INTERNALS:
2827
2828
* ``bzrlib.plugin.all_plugins`` has been deprecated in favour of
2829
``bzrlib.plugin.plugins()`` which returns PlugIn objects that provide
2830
useful functionality for determining the path of a plugin, its tests, and
2831
its version information. (Robert Collins)
2832
2833
* Add the option user_encoding to the function 'show_diff_trees()'
2834
in order to move the user encoding at the UI level. (Goffredo Baroncelli)
2835
2836
* Add the function make_commit_message_template_encoded() and the function
2837
edit_commit_message_encoded() which handle encoded strings.
2838
This is done in order to mix the commit messages (which is a unicode
2839
string), and the diff which is a raw string. (Goffredo Baroncelli)
2840
2841
* CommitBuilder now defaults to using add_lines_with_ghosts, reducing
2842
overhead on non-weave repositories which don't require all parents to be
2843
present. (Robert Collins)
2844
2845
* Deprecated method ``find_previous_heads`` on
2846
``bzrlib.inventory.InventoryEntry``. This has been superseded by the use
2847
of ``parent_candidates`` and a separate heads check via the repository
2848
API. (Robert Collins)
2849
2850
* New trace function ``mutter_callsite`` will print out a subset of the
2851
stack to the log, which can be useful for gathering debug details.
2852
(Robert Collins)
2853
2854
* ``bzrlib.pack.ContainerWriter`` now tracks how many records have been
2855
added via a public attribute records_written. (Robert Collins)
2856
2857
* New method ``bzrlib.transport.Transport.get_recommended_page_size``.
2858
This provides a hint to users of transports as to the reasonable
2859
minimum data to read. In principle this can take latency and
2860
bandwidth into account on a per-connection basis, but for now it
2861
just has hard coded values based on the url. (e.g. http:// has a large
2862
page size, file:// has a small one.) (Robert Collins)
2863
2864
* New method on ``bzrlib.transport.Transport`` ``open_write_stream`` allows
2865
incremental addition of data to a file without requiring that all the
2866
data be buffered in memory. (Robert Collins)
2867
2868
* New methods on ``bzrlib.knit.KnitVersionedFile``:
2869
``get_data_stream(versions)``, ``insert_data_stream(stream)`` and
2870
``get_format_signature()``. These provide some infrastructure for
2871
efficiently streaming the knit data for a set of versions over the smart
2872
protocol.
2873
2874
* Knits with no annotation cache still produce correct annotations.
2875
(Aaron Bentley)
2876
2877
* Three new methods have been added to ``bzrlib.trace``:
2878
``set_verbosity_level``, ``get_verbosity_level`` and ``is_verbose``.
2879
``set_verbosity_level`` expects a numeric value: negative for quiet,
2880
zero for normal, positive for verbose. The size of the number can be
2881
used to determine just how quiet or verbose the application should be.
2882
The existing ``be_quiet`` and ``is_quiet`` routines have been
2883
integrated into this new scheme. (Ian Clatworthy)
2884
2885
* Options can now be delcared with a ``custom_callback`` parameter. If
2886
set, this routine is called after the option is processed. This feature
2887
is now used by the standard options ``verbose`` and ``quiet`` so that
2888
setting one implicitly resets the other. (Ian Clatworthy)
2889
2890
* Rather than declaring a new option from scratch in order to provide
2891
custom help, a centrally registered option can be decorated using the
2892
new ``bzrlib.Option.custom_help`` routine. In particular, this routine
2893
is useful when declaring better help for the ``verbose`` and ``quiet``
2894
standard options as the base definition of these is now more complex
2895
than before thanks to their use of a custom callback. (Ian Clatworthy)
2896
2897
* Tree._iter_changes(specific_file=[]) now iterates through no files,
2898
instead of iterating through all files. None is used to iterate through
2899
all files. (Aaron Bentley)
2900
2901
* WorkingTree.revert() now accepts None to revert all files. The use of
2902
[] to revert all files is deprecated. (Aaron Bentley)

-------------------
2907
2908
IMPROVEMENTS:
2909
2910
* Documentation is now organized into multiple directories with a level
2911
added for different languages or locales. Added the Mini Tutorial
2912
and Quick Start Summary (en) documents from the Wiki, improving the
2913
content and readability of the former. Formatted NEWS as Release Notes
2914
complete with a Table of Conents, one heading per release. Moved the
2915
Developer Guide into the main document catalog and provided a link
2916
from the developer document catalog back to the main one.
2917
(Ian Clatworthy, Sabin Iacob, Alexander Belchenko)
2918
2919
2920
API CHANGES:
2921
2922
* The static convenience method ``BzrDir.create_repository``
2923
is deprecated. Callers should instead create a ``BzrDir`` instance
2924
and call ``create_repository`` on that. (Martin Pool)
2925
2926
2927
bzr 0.90rc1 2007-08-14
2928
----------------------
2929
2930
BUGFIXES:
2931
2932
* ``bzr init`` should connect to the remote location one time only. We
2933
have been connecting several times because we forget to pass around the
2934
Transport object. This modifies ``BzrDir.create_branch_convenience``,
2935
so that we can give it the Transport we already have.
2936
(John Arbash Meinel, Vincent Ladeuil, #111702)
2937
2938
* Get rid of sftp connection cache (get rid of the FTP one too).
2939
(Vincent Ladeuil, #43731)
2940
2941
* bzr branch {local|remote} remote don't try to create a working tree
2942
anymore.
2943
(Vincent Ladeuil, #112173)
2944
2945
* All identified multiple connections for a single bzr command have been
2946
fixed. See bzrlib/tests/commands directory.
2947
(Vincent Ladeuil)
2948
2949
* ``bzr rm`` now does not insist on ``--force`` to delete files that
2950
have been renamed but not otherwise modified. (Marius Kruger,
2951
#111664)
2952
2953
* ``bzr selftest --bench`` no longer emits deprecation warnings
2954
(Lukáš Lalinský)
2955
2956
* ``bzr status`` now honours FILE parameters for conflict lists
2957
(Aaron Bentley, #127606)
2958
2959
* ``bzr checkout`` now honours -r when reconstituting a working tree.
2960
It also honours -r 0. (Aaron Bentley, #127708)
2961
2962
* ``bzr add *`` no more fails on Windows if working tree contains
2963
non-ascii file names. (Kuno Meyer, #127361)
2964
2965
* allow ``easy_install bzr`` runs without fatal errors.
2966
(Alexander Belchenko, #125521)
2967
2968
* Graph._filter_candidate_lca does not raise KeyError if a candidate
2969
is eliminated just before it would normally be examined. (Aaron Bentley)
2970
2971
* SMTP connection failures produce a nice message, not a traceback.
2972
(Aaron Bentley)
2973
2974
IMPROVEMENTS:
2975
2976
* Don't show "dots" progress indicators when run non-interactively, such
2977
as from cron. (Martin Pool)
2978
2979
* ``info`` now formats locations more nicely and lists "submit" and
2980
"public" branches (Aaron Bentley)
2981
2982
* New ``pack`` command that will trigger database compression within
2983
the repository (Robert Collins)
2984
2985
* Implement ``_KnitIndex._load_data`` in a pyrex extension. The pyrex
2986
version is approximately 2-3x faster at parsing a ``.kndx`` file.
2987
Which yields a measurable improvement for commands which have to
2988
read from the repository, such as a 1s => 0.75s improvement in
2989
``bzr diff`` when there are changes to be shown. (John Arbash Meinel)
2990
2991
* Merge is now faster. Depending on the scenario, it can be more than 2x
2992
faster. (Aaron Bentley)
2993
2994
* Give a clearer warning, and allow ``python setup.py install`` to
2995
succeed even if pyrex is not available.
2996
(John Arbash Meinel)
2997
2998
* ``DirState._read_dirblocks`` now has an optional Pyrex
2999
implementation. This improves the speed of any command that has to
3000
read the entire DirState. (``diff``, ``status``, etc, improve by
3001
about 10%).
3002
``bisect_dirblocks`` has also been improved, which helps all
3003
``_get_entry`` type calls (whenever we are searching for a
3004
particular entry in the in-memory DirState).
3005
(John Arbash Meinel)
3006
3007
* ``bzr pull`` and ``bzr push`` no longer do a complete walk of the
3008
branch revision history for ui display unless -v is supplied.
3009
(Robert Collins)
3010
3011
* ``bzr log -rA..B`` output shifted to the left margin if the log only
3012
contains merge revisions. (Kent Gibson)
3013
3014
* The ``plugins`` command is now public with improved help.
3015
(Ian Clatworthy)
3016
3017
* New bundle and merge directive formats are faster to generate, and
3018
3019
* Annotate merge now works when there are local changes. (Aaron Bentley)
3020
3021
* Commit now only shows the progress in terms of directories instead of
3022
entries. (Ian Clatworthy)
3023
3024
* Fix ``KnitRepository.get_revision_graph`` to not request the graph 2
3025
times. This makes ``get_revision_graph`` 2x faster. (John Arbash
3026
Meinel)
3027
3028
* Fix ``VersionedFile.get_graph()`` to avoid using
3029
``set.difference_update(other)``, which has bad scaling when
3030
``other`` is large. This improves ``VF.get_graph([version_id])`` for
3031
a 12.5k graph from 2.9s down to 200ms. (John Arbash Meinel)
3032
3033
* The ``--lsprof-file`` option now generates output for KCacheGrind if
3034
the file starts with ``callgrind.out``. This matches the default file
3035
filtering done by KCacheGrind's Open Dialog. (Ian Clatworthy)
3036
3037
* Fix ``bzr update`` to avoid an unnecessary
3038
``branch.get_master_branch`` call, which avoids 1 extra connection
3039
to the remote server. (Partial fix for #128076, John Arbash Meinel)
3040
3041
* Log errors from the smart server in the trace file, to make debugging
3042
test failures (and live failures!) easier. (Andrew Bennetts)
3043
3044
* The HTML version of the man page has been superceded by a more
3045
comprehensive manual called the Bazaar User Reference. This manual
3046
is completed generated from the online help topics. As part of this
3047
change, limited reStructuredText is now explicitly supported in help
3048
topics and command help with 'unnatural' markup being removed prior
3049
to display by the online help or inclusion in the man page.
3050
(Ian Clatworthy)
3051
3052
* HTML documentation now use files extension ``*.html``
3053
(Alexander Belchenko)
3054
3055
* The cache of ignore definitions is now cleared in WorkingTree.unlock()
3056
so that changes to .bzrignore aren't missed. (#129694, Daniel Watkins)
3057
3058
* ``bzr selftest --strict`` fails if there are any missing features or
3059
expected test failures. (Daniel Watkins, #111914)
3060
3061
* Link to registration survey added to README. (Ian Clatworthy)
3062
3063
* Windows standalone installer show link to registration survey
3064
when installation finished. (Alexander Belchenko)
3065
3066
LIBRARY API BREAKS:
3067
3068
* Deprecated dictionary ``bzrlib.option.SHORT_OPTIONS`` removed.
3069
Options are now required to provide a help string and it must
3070
comply with the style guide by being one or more sentences with an
3071
initial capital and final period. (Martin Pool)
3072
3073
* KnitIndex.get_parents now returns tuples. (Robert Collins)
3074
3075
* Ancient unused ``Repository.text_store`` attribute has been removed.
3076
(Robert Collins)
3077
3078
* The ``bzrlib.pack`` interface has changed to use tuples of bytestrings
3079
rather than just bytestrings, making it easier to represent multiple
3080
element names. As this interface was not used by any internal facilities
3081
since it was introduced in 0.18 no API compatibility is being preserved.
3082
The serialised form of these packs is identical with 0.18 when a single
3083
element tuple is in use. (Robert Collins)
3084
3085
INTERNALS:
3086
3087
* merge now uses ``iter_changes`` to calculate changes, which makes room for
3088
future performance increases. It is also more consistent with other
3089
operations that perform comparisons, and reduces reliance on
3090
Tree.inventory. (Aaron Bentley)
3091
3092
* Refactoring of transport classes connected to a remote server.
3093
ConnectedTransport is a new class that serves as a basis for all
3094
transports needing to connect to a remote server. transport.split_url
3095
have been deprecated, use the static method on the object instead. URL
3096
tests have been refactored too.
3097
(Vincent Ladeuil)
3098
3099
* Better connection sharing for ConnectedTransport objects.
3100
transport.get_transport() now accepts a 'possible_transports' parameter.
3101
If a newly requested transport can share a connection with one of the
3102
list, it will.
3103
(Vincent Ladeuil)
3104
3105
* Most functions now accept ``bzrlib.revision.NULL_REVISION`` to indicate
3106
the null revision, and consider using ``None`` for this purpose
3107
deprecated. (Aaron Bentley)
3108
3109
* New ``index`` module with abstract index functionality. This will be
3110
used during the planned changes in the repository layer. Currently the
3111
index layer provides a graph aware immutable index, a builder for the
3112
same index type to allow creating them, and finally a composer for
3113
such indices to allow the use of many indices in a single query. The
3114
index performance is not optimised, however the API is stable to allow
3115
development on top of the index. (Robert Collins)
3116
3117
* ``bzrlib.dirstate.cmp_by_dirs`` can be used to compare two paths by
3118
their directory sections. This is equivalent to comparing
3119
``path.split('/')``, only without having to split the paths.
3120
This has a Pyrex implementation available.
3121
(John Arbash Meinel)
3122
3123
* New transport decorator 'unlistable+' which disables the list_dir
3124
functionality for testing.
3125
3126
* Deprecated ``change_entry`` in transform.py. (Ian Clatworthy)
3127
3128
* RevisionTree.get_weave is now deprecated. Tree.plan_merge is now used
3129
for performing annotate-merge. (Aaron Bentley)
3130
3131
* New EmailMessage class to create email messages. (Adeodato Simó)
3132
3133
* Unused functions on the private interface KnitIndex have been removed.
3134
(Robert Collins)
3135
3136
* New ``knit.KnitGraphIndex`` which provides a ``KnitIndex`` layered on top
3137
of a ``index.GraphIndex``. (Robert Collins)
3138
3139
* New ``knit.KnitVersionedFile.iter_parents`` method that allows querying
3140
the parents of many knit nodes at once, reducing round trips to the
3141
underlying index. (Robert Collins)
3142
3143
* Graph now has an is_ancestor method, various bits use it.
3144
(Aaron Bentley)
3145
3146
* The ``-Dhpss`` flag now includes timing information. As well as
3147
logging when a new connection is opened. (John Arbash Meinel)
3148
3149
* ``bzrlib.pack.ContainerWriter`` now returns an offset, length tuple to
3150
callers when inserting data, allowing generation of readv style access
3151
during pack creation, without needing a separate pass across the output
3152
pack to gather such details. (Robert Collins)
3153
3154
* ``bzrlib.pack.make_readv_reader`` allows readv based access to pack
3155
files that are stored on a transport. (Robert Collins)
3156
3157
* New ``Repository.has_same_location`` method that reports if two
3158
repository objects refer to the same repository (although with some risk
3159
of false negatives). (Andrew Bennetts)
3160
3161
* InterTree.compare now passes require_versioned on correctly.
3162
(Marius Kruger)
3163
3164
* New methods on Repository - ``start_write_group``,
3165
``commit_write_group``, ``abort_write_group`` and ``is_in_write_group`` -
3166
which provide a clean hook point for transactional Repositories - ones
3167
where all the data for a fetch or commit needs to be made atomically
3168
available in one step. This allows the write lock to remain while making
3169
a series of data insertions. (e.g. data conversion). (Robert Collins)
3170
3171
* In ``bzrlib.knit`` the internal interface has been altered to use
3172
3-tuples (index, pos, length) rather than two-tuples (pos, length) to
3173
describe where data in a knit is, allowing knits to be split into
3174
many files. (Robert Collins)
3175
3176
* ``bzrlib.knit._KnitData`` split into cache management and physical access
3177
with two access classes - ``_PackAccess`` and ``_KnitAccess`` defined.
3178
The former provides access into a .pack file, and the latter provides the
3179
current production repository form of .knit files. (Robert Collins)
3180
3181
TESTING:
3182
3183
* Remove selftest ``--clean-output``, ``--numbered-dirs`` and
3184
``--keep-output`` options, which are obsolete now that tests
3185
are done within directories in $TMPDIR. (Martin Pool)
3186
3187
* The SSH_AUTH_SOCK environment variable is now reset to avoid
3188
interaction with any running ssh agents. (Jelmer Vernooij, #125955)
3189
3190
* run_bzr_subprocess handles parameters the same way as run_bzr:
3191
either a string or a list of strings should be passed as the first
3192
parameter. Varargs-style parameters are deprecated. (Aaron Bentley)

BUGFIXES:
3207
3208
* Do not suppress pipe errors, etc. in non-display commands
3209
(Alexander Belchenko, #87178)
3210
3211
* Display a useful error message when the user requests to annotate
3212
a file that is not present in the specified revision.
3213
(James Westby, #122656)
3214
3215
* Commands that use status flags now have a reference to 'help
3216
status-flags'. (Daniel Watkins, #113436)
3217
3218
* Work around python-2.4.1 inhability to correctly parse the
3219
authentication header.
3220
(Vincent Ladeuil, #121889)
3221
3222
* Use exact encoding for merge directives. (Adeodato Simó, #120591)
3223
3224
* Fix tempfile permissions error in smart server tar bundling under
3225
Windows. (Martin _, #119330)
3226
3227
* Fix detection of directory entries in the inventory. (James Westby)
3228
3229
* Fix handling of http code 400: Bad Request When issuing too many ranges.
3230
(Vincent Ladeuil, #115209)
3231
3232
* Issue a CONNECT request when connecting to an https server
3233
via a proxy to enable SSL tunneling.
3234
(Vincent Ladeuil, #120678)
3235
3236
* Fix ``bzr log -r`` to support selecting merge revisions, both
3237
individually and as part of revision ranges.
3238
(Kent Gibson, #4663)
3239
3240
* Don't leave cruft behind when failing to acquire a lockdir.
3241
(Martin Pool, #109169)
3242
3243
* Don't use the '-f' strace option during tests.
3244
(Vincent Ladeuil, #102019).
3245
3246
* Warn when setting ``push_location`` to a value that will be masked by
3247
locations.conf. (Aaron Bentley, #122286)
3248
3249
* Fix commit ordering in corner case (Aaron Bentley, #94975)
3250
3251
* Make annotate behave in a non-ASCII world (Adeodato Simó).
3252
3253
IMPROVEMENTS:
3254
3255
* The --lsprof-file option now dumps a text rendering of the profiling
3256
information if the filename ends in ".txt". It will also convert the
3257
profiling information to a format suitable for KCacheGrind if the
3258
output filename ends in ".callgrind". Fixes to the lsprofcalltree
3259
conversion process by Jean Paul Calderone and Itamar were also merged.
3260
See http://ddaa.net/blog/python/lsprof-calltree. (Ian Clatworthy)
3261
3262
* ``info`` now defaults to non-verbose mode, displaying only paths and
3263
abbreviated format info. ``info -v`` displays all the information
3264
formerly displayed by ``info``. (Aaron Bentley, Adeodato Simó)
3265
3266
* ``bzr missing`` now has better option names ``--this`` and ``--other``.
3267
(Elliot Murphy)
3268
3269
* The internal ``weave-list`` command has become ``versionedfile-list``,
3270
and now lists knits as well as weaves. (Aaron Bentley)
3271
3272
* Automatic merge base selection uses a faster algorithm that chooses
3273
better bases in criss-cross merge situations (Aaron Bentley)
3274
3275
* Progress reporting in ``commit`` has been improved. The various logical
3276
stages are now reported on as follows, namely:
3277
3278
* Collecting changes [Entry x/y] - Stage n/m
3279
* Saving data locally - Stage n/m
3280
* Uploading data to master branch - Stage n/m
3281
* Updating the working tree - Stage n/m
3282
* Running post commit hooks - Stage n/m
3283
3284
If there is no master branch, the 3rd stage is omitted and the total
3285
number of stages is adjusted accordingly.
3286
3287
Each hook that is run after commit is listed with a name (as hooks
3288
can be slow it is useful feedback).
3289
(Ian Clatworthy, Robert Collins)
3290
3291
* Various operations that are now faster due to avoiding unnecessary
3292
topological sorts. (Aaron Bentley)
3293
3294
* Make merge directives robust against broken bundles. (Aaron Bentley)
3295
3296
* The lsprof filename note is emitted via trace.note(), not standard
3297
output. (Aaron Bentley)
3298
3299
* ``bzrlib`` now exports explicit API compatibility information to assist
3300
library users and plugins. See the ``bzrlib.api`` module for details.
3301
(Robert Collins)
3302
3303
* Remove unnecessary lock probes when acquiring a lockdir.
3304
(Martin Pool)
3305
3306
* ``bzr --version`` now shows the location of the bzr log file, which
3307
is especially useful on Windows. (Martin Pool)
3308
3309
* -D now supports hooks to get debug tracing of hooks (though its currently
3310
minimal in nature). (Robert Collins)
3311
3312
* Long log format reports deltas on merge revisions.
3313
(John Arbash Meinel, Kent Gibson)
3314
3315
* Make initial push over ftp more resilient. (John Arbash Meinel)
3316
3317
* Print a summary of changes for update just like pull does.
3318
(Daniel Watkins, #113990)
3319
3320
* Add a -Dhpss option to trace smart protocol requests and responses.
3321
(Andrew Bennetts)
3322
3323
LIBRARY API BREAKS:
3324
3325
* Testing cleanups -
3326
``bzrlib.repository.RepositoryTestProviderAdapter`` has been moved
3327
to ``bzrlib.tests.repository_implementations``;
3328
``bzrlib.repository.InterRepositoryTestProviderAdapter`` has been moved
3329
to ``bzrlib.tests.interrepository_implementations``;
3330
``bzrlib.transport.TransportTestProviderAdapter`` has moved to
3331
``bzrlib.tests.test_transport_implementations``.
3332
``bzrlib.branch.BranchTestProviderAdapter`` has moved to
3333
``bzrlib.tests.branch_implementations``.
3334
``bzrlib.bzrdir.BzrDirTestProviderAdapter`` has moved to
3335
``bzrlib.tests.bzrdir_implementations``.
3336
``bzrlib.versionedfile.InterVersionedFileTestProviderAdapter`` has moved
3337
to ``bzrlib.tests.interversionedfile_implementations``.
3338
``bzrlib.store.revision.RevisionStoreTestProviderAdapter`` has moved to
3339
``bzrlib.tests.revisionstore_implementations``.
3340
``bzrlib.workingtree.WorkingTreeTestProviderAdapter`` has moved to
3341
``bzrlib.tests.workingtree_implementations``.
3342
These changes are an API break in the testing infrastructure only.
3343
(Robert Collins)
3344
3345
* Relocate TestCaseWithRepository to be more central. (Robert Collins)
3346
3347
* ``bzrlib.add.smart_add_tree`` will no longer perform glob expansion on
3348
win32. Callers of the function should do this and use the new
3349
``MutableTree.smart_add`` method instead. (Robert Collins)
3350
3351
* ``bzrlib.add.glob_expand_for_win32`` is now
3352
``bzrlib.win32utils.glob_expand``. (Robert Collins)
3353
3354
* ``bzrlib.add.FastPath`` is now private and moved to
3355
``bzrlib.mutabletree._FastPath``. (Robert Collins, Martin Pool)
3356
3357
* ``LockDir.wait`` removed. (Martin Pool)
3358
3359
* The ``SmartServer`` hooks API has changed for the ``server_started`` and
3360
``server_stopped`` hooks. The first parameter is now an iterable of
3361
backing URLs rather than a single URL. This is to reflect that many
3362
URLs may map to the external URL of the server. E.g. the server interally
3363
may have a chrooted URL but also the local file:// URL will be at the
3364
same location. (Robert Collins)
3365
3366
INTERNALS:
3367
3368
* New SMTPConnection class to unify email handling. (Adeodato Simó)
3369
3370
* Fix documentation of BzrError. (Adeodato Simó)
3371
3372
* Make BzrBadParameter an internal error. (Adeodato Simó)
3373
3374
* Remove use of 'assert False' to raise an exception unconditionally.
3375
(Martin Pool)
3376
3377
* Give a cleaner error when failing to decode knit index entry.
3378
(Martin Pool)
3379
3380
* TreeConfig would mistakenly search the top level when asked for options
3381
from a section. It now respects the section argument and only
3382
searches the specified section. (James Westby)
3383
3384
* Improve ``make api-docs`` output. (John Arbash Meinel)
3385
3386
* Use os.lstat rather than os.stat for osutils.make_readonly and
3387
osutils.make_writeable. This makes the difftools plugin more
3388
robust when dangling symlinks are found. (Elliot Murphy)
3389
3390
* New ``-Dlock`` option to log (to ~/.bzr.log) information on when
3391
lockdirs are taken or released. (Martin Pool)
3392
3393
* ``bzrlib`` Hooks are now nameable using ``Hooks.name_hook``. This
3394
allows a nicer UI when hooks are running as the current hook can
3395
be displayed. (Robert Collins)
3396
3397
* ``Transport.get`` has had its interface made more clear for ease of use.
3398
Retrieval of a directory must now fail with either 'PathError' at open
3399
time, or raise 'ReadError' on a read. (Robert Collins)
3400
3401
* New method ``_maybe_expand_globs`` on the ``Command`` class for
3402
dealing with unexpanded glob lists - e.g. on the win32 platform. This
3403
was moved from ``bzrlib.add._prepare_file_list``. (Robert Collins)
3404
3405
* ``bzrlib.add.smart_add`` and ``bzrlib.add.smart_add_tree`` are now
3406
deprecated in favour of ``MutableTree.smart_add``. (Robert Collins,
3407
Martin Pool)
3408
3409
* New method ``external_url`` on Transport for obtaining the url to
3410
hand to external processes. (Robert Collins)
3411
3412
* Teach windows installers to build pyrex/C extensions.
3413
(Alexander Belchenko)
3414
3415
TESTING:
3416
3417
* Removed the ``--keep-output`` option from selftest and clean up test
3418
directories as they're used. This reduces the IO load from
3419
running the test suite and cuts the time by about half.
3420
(Andrew Bennetts, Martin Pool)
3421
3422
* Add scenarios as a public attribute on the TestAdapter classes to allow
3423
modification of the generated scenarios before adaption and easier
3424
testing. (Robert Collins)
3425
3426
* New testing support class ``TestScenarioApplier`` which multiplies
3427
out a single teste by a list of supplied scenarios. (RobertCollins)
3428
3429
* Setting ``repository_to_test_repository`` on a repository_implementations
3430
test will cause it to be called during repository creation, allowing the
3431
testing of repository classes which are not based around the Format
3432
concept. For example a repository adapter can be tested in this manner,
3433
by altering the repository scenarios to include a scenario that sets this
3434
attribute during the test parameterisation in
3435
``bzrlib.tests.repository.repository_implementations``. (Robert Collins)
3436
3437
* Clean up many of the APIs for blackbox testing of Bazaar. The standard
3438
interface is now self.run_bzr. The command to run can be passed as
3439
either a list of parameters, a string containing the command line, or
3440
(deprecated) varargs parameters. (Martin Pool)
3441
3442
* The base TestCase now isolates tests from -D parameters by clearing
3443
``debug.debug_flags`` and restores it afterwards. (Robert Collins)
3444
3445
* Add a relpath parameter to get_transport methods in test framework to
3446
avoid useless cloning.

-----------------------
3464
3465
NOTES WHEN UPGRADING:
3466
3467
* The kind() and is_executable() APIs on the WorkingTree interface no
3468
longer implicitly (read) locks and unlocks the tree. This *might*
3469
impact some plug-ins and tools using this part of the API. If you find
3470
an issue that may be caused by this change, please let us know,
3471
particularly the plug-in/tool maintainer. If encountered, the API
3472
fix is to surround kind() and is_executable() calls with lock_read()
3473
and unlock() like so::
3474
3475
work_tree.lock_read()
3476
try:
3477
kind = work_tree.kind(...)
3478
finally:
3479
work_tree.unlock()
3480
3481
INTERNALS:
3482
* Rework of LogFormatter API to provide beginning/end of log hooks and to
3483
encapsulate the details of the revision to be logged in a LogRevision
3484
object.
3485
In long log formats, merge revision ids are only shown when --show-ids
3486
is specified, and are labelled "revision-id:", as per mainline
3487
revisions, instead of "merged:". (Kent Gibson)
3488
3489
* New ``BranchBuilder`` API which allows the construction of particular
3490
histories quickly. Useful for testing and potentially other applications
3491
too. (Robert Collins)
3492
3493
IMPROVEMENTS:
3494
3495
* There are two new help topics, working-trees and repositories that
3496
attempt to explain these concepts. (James Westby, John Arbash Meinel,
3497
Aaron Bentley)
3498
3499
* Added ``bzr log --limit`` to report a limited number of revisions.
3500
(Kent Gibson, #3659)
3501
3502
* Revert does not try to preserve file contents that were originally
3503
produced by reverting to a historical revision. (Aaron Bentley)
3504
3505
* ``bzr log --short`` now includes ``[merge]`` for revisions which
3506
have more than one parent. This is a small improvement to help
3507
understanding what changes have occurred
3508
(John Arbash Meinel, #83887)
3509
3510
* TreeTransform avoids many renames when contructing large trees,
3511
improving speed. 3.25x speedups have been observed for construction of
3512
kernel-sized-trees, and checkouts are 1.28x faster. (Aaron Bentley)
3513
3514
* Commit on large trees is now faster. In my environment, a commit of
3515
a small change to the Mozilla tree (55k files) has dropped from
3516
66 seconds to 32 seconds. For a small tree of 600 files, commit of a
3517
small change is 33% faster. (Ian Clatworthy)
3518
3519
* New --create-prefix option to bzr init, like for push. (Daniel Watkins,
3520
#56322)
3521
3522
BUGFIXES:
3523
3524
* ``bzr push`` should only connect to the remote location one time.
3525
We have been connecting 3 times because we forget to pass around
3526
the Transport object. This adds ``BzrDir.clone_on_transport()``, so
3527
that we can pass in the Transport that we already have.
3528
(John Arbash Meinel, #75721)
3529
3530
* ``DirState.set_state_from_inventory()`` needs to properly order
3531
based on split paths, not just string paths.
3532
(John Arbash Meinel, #115947)
3533
3534
* Let TestUIFactoy encode the password prompt with its own stdout.
3535
(Vincent Ladeuil, #110204)
3536
3537
* pycurl should take use the range header that takes the range hint
3538
into account.
3539
(Vincent Ladeuil, #112719)
3540
3541
* WorkingTree4.get_file_sha1 no longer raises an exception when invoked
3542
on a missing file. (Aaron Bentley, #118186)
3543
3544
* WorkingTree.remove works correctly with tree references, and when pwd is
3545
not the tree root. (Aaron Bentley)
3546
3547
* Merge no longer fails when a file is renamed in one tree and deleted
3548
in the other. (Aaron Bentley, #110279)
3549
3550
* ``revision-info`` now accepts dotted revnos, doesn't require a tree,
3551
and defaults to the last revision (Matthew Fuller, #90048)
3552
3553
* Tests no longer fail when BZR_REMOTE_PATH is set in the environment.
3554
(Daniel Watkins, #111958)
3555
3556
* ``bzr branch -r revid:foo`` can be used to branch any revision in
3557
your repository. (Previously Branch6 only supported revisions in your
3558
mainline). (John Arbash Meinel, #115343)

3560
bzr 0.16 2007-05-07
3561
--------------------
3562
3563
BUGFIXES:
3564
3565
* Handle when you have 2 directories with similar names, but one has a
3566
hyphen. (``'abc'`` versus ``'abc-2'``). The WT4._iter_changes
3567
iterator was using direct comparison and ``'abc/a'`` sorts after
3568
``'abc-2'``, but ``('abc', 'a')`` sorts before ``('abc-2',)``.
3569
(John Arbash Meinel, #111227)
3570
3571
* Handle when someone renames a file on disk without telling bzr.
3572
Previously we would report the first file as missing, but not show
3573
the new unknown file. (John Arbash Meinel, #111288)
3574
3575
* Avoid error when running hooks after pulling into or pushing from
3576
a branch bound to a smartserver branch. (Martin Pool, #111968)
3577
3578
IMPROVEMENTS:
3579
3580
* Move developer documentation to doc/developers/. This reduces clutter in
3581
the root of the source tree and allows HACKING to be split into multiple
3582
files. (Robert Collins, Alexander Belchenko)
3583
3584
* Clean up the ``WorkingTree4._iter_changes()`` internal loops as well as
3585
``DirState.update_entry()``. This optimizes the core logic for ``bzr
3586
diff`` and ``bzr status`` significantly improving the speed of
3587
both. (John Arbash Meinel)

3590
-----------------------
3591
3592
BUGFIXES:
3593
3594
* Handle the case when you delete a file, and then rename another file
3595
on top of it. Also handle the case of ``bzr rm --keep foo``. ``bzr
3596
status`` should show the removed file and an unknown file in its
3597
place. (John Arbash Meinel, #109993)
3598
3599
* Bundles properly read and write revision properties that have an
3600
empty value. And when the value is not ASCII.
3601
(John Arbash Meinel, #109613)
3602
3603
* Fix the bzr commit message to be in text mode.
3604
(Alexander Belchenko, #110901)
3605
3606
* Also handle when you rename a file and create a file where it used
3607
to be. (John Arbash Meinel, #110256)
3608
3609
* ``WorkingTree4._iter_changes`` should not descend into unversioned
3610
directories. (John Arbash Meinel, #110399)

3612
bzr 0.16rc1 2007-04-26
3613
-----------------------
3614
3615
NOTES WHEN UPGRADING:
3616
3617
* ``bzr remove`` and ``bzr rm`` will now remove the working file, if
3618
it could be recovered again.
3619
This has been done for consistency with svn and the unix rm command.
3620
The old ``remove`` behaviour has been retained in the new option
3621
``bzr remove --keep``, which will just stop versioning the file,
3622
but not delete it.
3623
``bzr remove --force`` have been added which will always delete the
3624
files.
3625
``bzr remove`` is also more verbose.
3626
(Marius Kruger, #82602)
3627
3628
IMPROVEMENTS:
3629
3630
* Merge directives can now be supplied as input to `merge` and `pull`,
3631
like bundles can. (Aaron Bentley)
3632
3633
* Sending the SIGQUIT signal to bzr, which can be done on Unix by
3634
pressing Control-Backslash, drops bzr into a debugger. Type ``'c'``
3635
to continue. This can be disabled by setting the environment variable
3636
``BZR_SIGQUIT_PDB=0``. (Martin Pool)
3637
3638
* selftest now supports --list-only to list tests instead of running
3639
them. (Ian Clatworthy)
3640
3641
* selftest now supports --exclude PATTERN (or -x PATTERN) to exclude
3642
tests with names that match that regular expression.
3643
(Ian Clatworthy, #102679)
3644
3645
* selftest now supports --randomize SEED to run tests in a random order.
3646
SEED is typically the value 'now' meaning 'use the current time'.
3647
(Ian Clatworthy, #102686)
3648
3649
* New option ``--fixes`` to commit, which stores bug fixing annotations as
3650
revision properties. Built-in support for Launchpad, Debian, Trac and
3651
Bugzilla bug trackers. (Jonathan Lange, James Henstridge, Robert Collins)
3652
3653
* New API, ``bzrlib.bugtracker.tracker_registry``, for adding support for
3654
other bug trackers to ``fixes``. (Jonathan Lange, James Henstridge,
3655
Robert Collins)
3656
3657
* ``selftest`` has new short options ``-f`` and ``-1``. (Martin
3658
Pool)
3659
3660
* ``bzrlib.tsort.MergeSorter`` optimizations. Change the inner loop
3661
into using local variables instead of going through ``self._var``.
3662
Improves the time to ``merge_sort`` a 10k revision graph by
3663
approximately 40% (~700->400ms). (John Arbash Meinel)
3664
3665
* ``make docs`` now creates a man page at ``man1/bzr.1`` fixing bug 107388.
3666
(Robert Collins)
3667
3668
* ``bzr help`` now provides cross references to other help topics using
3669
the _see_also facility on command classes. Likewise the bzr_man
3670
documentation, and the bzr.1 man page also include this information.
3671
(Robert Collins)
3672
3673
* Tags are now included in logs, that use the long log formatter.
3674
(Erik Bågfors, Alexander Belchenko)
3675
3676
* ``bzr help`` provides a clearer message when a help topic cannot be
3677
found. (Robert Collins, #107656)
3678
3679
* ``bzr help`` now accepts optional prefixes for command help. The help
3680
for all commands can now be found at ``bzr help commands/COMMANDNAME``
3681
as well as ``bzr help COMMANDNAME`` (which only works for commands
3682
where the name is not the same as a more general help topic).
3683
(Robert Collins)
3684
3685
* ``bzr help PLUGINNAME`` will now return the module docstring from the
3686
plugin PLUGINNAME. (Robert Collins, #50408)
3687
3688
* New help topic ``urlspec`` which lists the availables transports.
3689
(Goffredo Baroncelli)
3690
3691
* doc/server.txt updated to document the default bzr:// port
3692
and also update the blurb about the hpss' current status.
3693
(Robert Collins, #107125).
3694
3695
* ``bzr serve`` now listens on interface 0.0.0.0 by default, making it
3696
serve out to the local LAN (and anyone in the world that can reach the
3697
machine running ``bzr serve``. (Robert Collins, #98918)
3698
3699
* A new smart server protocol version has been added. It prefixes requests
3700
and responses with an explicit version identifier so that future protocol
3701
revisions can be dealt with gracefully. (Andrew Bennetts, Robert Collins)
3702
3703
* The bzr protocol version 2 indicates success or failure in every response
3704
without depending on particular commands encoding that consistently,
3705
allowing future client refactorings to be much more robust about error
3706
handling. (Robert Collins, Martin Pool, Andrew Bennetts)
3707
3708
* The smart protocol over HTTP client has been changed to always post to the
3709
same ``.bzr/smart`` URL under the original location when it can. This allows
3710
HTTP servers to only have to pass URLs ending in .bzr/smart to the smart
3711
server handler, and not arbitrary ``.bzr/*/smart`` URLs. (Andrew Bennetts)
3712
3713
* digest authentication is now supported for proxies and HTTP by the urllib
3714
based http implementation. Tested against Apache 2.0.55 and Squid
3715
2.6.5. Basic and digest authentication are handled coherently for HTTP
3716
and proxy: if the user is provided in the url (bzr command line for HTTP,
3717
proxy environment variables for proxies), the password is prompted for
3718
(only once). If the password is provided, it is taken into account. Once
3719
the first authentication is successful, all further authentication
3720
roundtrips are avoided by preventively setting the right authentication
3721
header(s).
3722

3724
INTERNALS:
3725
3726
* bzrlib API compatability with 0.8 has been dropped, cleaning up some
3727
code paths. (Robert Collins)
3728
3729
* Change the format of chroot urls so that they can be safely manipulated
3730
by generic url utilities without causing the resulting urls to have
3731
escaped the chroot. A side effect of this is that creating a chroot
3732
requires an explicit action using a ChrootServer.
3733
(Robert Collins, Andrew Bennetts)
3734
3735
* Deprecate ``Branch.get_root_id()`` because branches don't have root ids,
3736
rather than fixing bug #96847. (Aaron Bentley)
3737
3738
* ``WorkingTree.apply_inventory_delta`` provides a better alternative to
3739
``WorkingTree._write_inventory``. (Aaron Bentley)
3740
3741
* Convenience method ``TestCase.expectFailure`` ensures that known failures
3742
do not silently pass. (Aaron Bentley)
3743
3744
* ``Transport.local_abspath`` now raises ``NotLocalUrl`` rather than
3745
``TransportNotPossible``. (Martin Pool, Ian Clatworthy)
3746
3747
* New SmartServer hooks facility. There are two initial hooks documented
3748
in ``bzrlib.transport.smart.SmartServerHooks``. The two initial hooks allow
3749
plugins to execute code upon server startup and shutdown.
3750
(Robert Collins).
3751
3752
* SmartServer in standalone mode will now close its listening socket
3753
when it stops, rather than waiting for garbage collection. This primarily
3754
fixes test suite hangs when a test tries to connect to a shutdown server.
3755
It may also help improve behaviour when dealing with a server running
3756
on a specific port (rather than dynamically assigned ports).
3757
(Robert Collins)
3758
3759
* Move most SmartServer code into a new package, bzrlib/smart.
3760
bzrlib/transport/remote.py contains just the Transport classes that used
3761
to be in bzrlib/transport/smart.py. (Andrew Bennetts)
3762
3763
* urllib http implementation avoid roundtrips associated with
3764
401 (and 407) errors once the authentication succeeds.
3765
(Vincent Ladeuil).
3766
3767
* urlib http now supports querying the user for a proxy password if
3768
needed. Realm is shown in the prompt for both HTTP and proxy
3769
authentication when the user is required to type a password.
3770
(Vincent Ladeuil).
3771
3772
* Renamed SmartTransport (and subclasses like SmartTCPTransport) to
3773
RemoteTransport (and subclasses to RemoteTCPTransport, etc). This is more
3774
consistent with its new home in ``bzrlib/transport/remote.py``, and because
3775
it's not really a "smart" transport, just one that does file operations
3776
via remote procedure calls. (Andrew Bennetts)
3777
3778
* The ``lock_write`` method of ``LockableFiles``, ``Repository`` and
3779
``Branch`` now accept a ``token`` keyword argument, so that separate
3780
instances of those objects can share a lock if it has the right token.
3781
(Andrew Bennetts, Robert Collins)
3782
3783
* New method ``get_branch_reference`` on ``BzrDir`` allows the detection of
3784
branch references - which the smart server component needs.
3785
3786
* The Repository API ``make_working_trees`` is now permitted to return
3787
False when ``set_make_working_trees`` is not implemented - previously
3788
an unimplemented ``set_make_working_trees`` implied the result True
3789
from ``make_working_trees``. This has been changed to accomodate the
3790
smart server, where it does not make sense (at this point) to ever
3791
make working trees by default. (Robert Collins)
3792
3793
* Command objects can now declare related help topics by having _see_also
3794
set to a list of related topic. (Robert Collins)
3795
3796
* ``bzrlib.help`` now delegates to the Command class for Command specific
3797
help. (Robert Collins)
3798
3799
* New class ``TransportListRegistry``, derived from the Registry class, which
3800
simplifies tracking the available Transports. (Goffredo Baroncelli)
3801
3802
* New function ``Branch.get_revision_id_to_revno_map`` which will
3803
return a dictionary mapping revision ids to dotted revnos. Since
3804
dotted revnos are defined in the context of the branch tip, it makes
3805
sense to generate them from a ``Branch`` object.
3806
(John Arbash Meinel)
3807
3808
* Fix the 'Unprintable error' message display to use the repr of the
3809
exception that prevented printing the error because the str value
3810
for it is often not useful in debugging (e.g. KeyError('foo') has a
3811
str() of 'foo' but a repr of 'KeyError('foo')' which is much more
3812
useful. (Robert Collins)
3813
3814
* ``urlutils.normalize_url`` now unescapes unreserved characters, such as "~".
3815
(Andrew Bennetts)

3817
BUGFIXES:
3818
3819
* Don't fail bundle selftest if email has 'two' embedded.
3820
(Ian Clatworthy, #98510)
3821
3822
* Remove ``--verbose`` from ``bzr bundle``. It didn't work anyway.
3823
(Robert Widhopf-Fenk, #98591)
3824
3825
* Remove ``--basis`` from the checkout/branch commands - it didn't work
3826
properly and is no longer beneficial.
3827
(Robert Collins, #53675, #43486)
3828
3829
* Don't produce encoding error when adding duplicate files.
3830
(Aaron Bentley)
3831
3832
* Fix ``bzr log <file>`` so it only logs the revisions that changed
3833
the file, and does it faster.
3834
(Kent Gibson, John Arbash Meinel, #51980, #69477)
3835
3836
* Fix ``InterDirstateTre._iter_changes`` to handle when we come across
3837
an empty versioned directory, which now has files in it.
3838
(John Arbash Meinel, #104257)
3839
3840
* Teach ``common_ancestor`` to shortcut when the tip of one branch is
3841
inside the ancestry of the other. Saves a lot of graph processing
3842
(with an ancestry of 16k revisions, ``bzr merge ../already-merged``
3843
changes from 2m10s to 13s). (John Arbash Meinel, #103757)
3844
3845
* Fix ``show_diff_trees`` to handle the case when a file is modified,
3846
and the containing directory is renamed. (The file path is different
3847
in this versus base, but it isn't marked as a rename).
3848
(John Arbash Meinel, #103870)
3849
3850
* FTP now works even when the FTP server does not support atomic rename.
3851
(Aaron Bentley, #89436)
3852
3853
* Correct handling in bundles and merge directives of timezones with
3854
that are not an integer number of hours offset from UTC. Always
3855
represent the epoch time in UTC to avoid problems with formatting
3856
earlier times on win32. (Martin Pool, Alexander Belchenko, John
3857
Arbash Meinel)
3858
3859
* Typo in the help for ``register-branch`` fixed. (Robert Collins, #96770)
3860
3861
* "dirstate" and "dirstate-tags" formats now produce branches compatible
3862
with old versions of bzr. (Aaron Bentley, #107168))
3863
3864
* Handle moving a directory when children have been added, removed,
3865
and renamed. (John Arbash Meinel, #105479)
3866
3867
* Don't preventively use basic authentication for proxy before receiving a
3868
407 error. Otherwise people willing to use other authentication schemes
3869
may expose their password in the clear (or nearly). This add one
3870
roundtrip in case basic authentication should be used, but plug the
3871
security hole.
3872
(Vincent Ladeuil)
3873
3874
* Handle http and proxy digest authentication.
3875
(Vincent Ladeuil, #94034).
3876
3877
TESTING:
3878
3879
* Added ``bzrlib.strace.strace`` which will strace a single callable and
3880
return a StraceResult object which contains just the syscalls involved
3881
in running it. (Robert Collins)
3882
3883
* New test method ``reduceLockdirTimeout`` to drop the default (ui-centric)
3884
default time down to one suitable for tests. (Andrew Bennetts)
3885
3886
* Add new ``vfs_transport_factory`` attribute on tests which provides the
3887
common vfs backing for both the readonly and readwrite transports.
3888
This allows the RemoteObject tests to back onto local disk or memory,
3889
and use the existing ``transport_server`` attribute all tests know about
3890
to be the smart server transport. This in turn allows tests to
3891
differentiate between 'transport to access the branch', and
3892
'transport which is a VFS' - which matters in Remote* tests.
3893
(Robert Collins, Andrew Bennetts)
3894
3895
* The ``make_branch_and_tree`` method for tests will now create a
3896
lightweight checkout for the tree if the ``vfs_transport_factory`` is not
3897
a LocalURLServer. (Robert Collins, Andrew Bennetts)
3898
3899
* Branch implementation tests have been audited to ensure that all urls
3900
passed to Branch APIs use proper urls, except when local-disk paths
3901
are intended. This is so that tests correctly access the test transport
3902
which is often not equivalent to local disk in Remote* tests. As part
3903
of this many tests were adjusted to remove dependencies on local disk
3904
access.
3905
(Robert Collins, Andrew Bennetts)
3906
3907
* Mark bzrlib.tests and bzrlib.tests.TestUtil as providing assertFOO helper
3908
functions by adding a ``__unittest`` global attribute. (Robert Collins,
3909
Andrew Bennetts, Martin Pool, Jonathan Lange)
3910
3911
* Refactored proxy and authentication handling to simplify the
3912
implementation of new auth schemes for both http and proxy.

CHANGES:
3931
3932
* A warning is now displayed when opening working trees in older
3933
formats, to encourage people to upgrade to WorkingTreeFormat4.
3934
(Martin Pool)
3935
3936
IMPROVEMENTS:
3937
3938
* HTTP redirections are now taken into account when a branch (or a
3939
bundle) is accessed for the first time. A message is issued at each
3940
redirection to inform the user. In the past, http redirections were
3941
silently followed for each request which significantly degraded the
3942
performances. The http redirections are not followed anymore by
3943
default, instead a RedirectRequested exception is raised. For bzrlib
3944
users needing to follow http redirections anyway,
3945
``bzrlib.transport.do_catching_redirections`` provide an easy transition
3946
path. (vila)
3947
3948
INTERNALS:
3949
3950
* Added ``ReadLock.temporary_write_lock()`` to allow upgrading an OS read
3951
lock to an OS write lock. Linux can do this without unlocking, Win32
3952
needs to unlock in between. (John Arbash Meinel)
3953
3954
* New parameter ``recommend_upgrade`` to ``BzrDir.open_workingtree``
3955
to silence (when false) warnings about opening old formats.
3956
(Martin Pool)
3957
3958
* Fix minor performance regression with bzr-0.15 on pre-dirstate
3959
trees. (We were reading the working inventory too many times).
3960
(John Arbash Meinel)
3961
3962
* Remove ``Branch.get_transaction()`` in favour of a simple cache of
3963
``revision_history``. Branch subclasses should override
3964
``_gen_revision_history`` rather than ``revision_history`` to make use of
3965
this cache, and call ``_clear_revision_history_cache`` and
3966
``_cache_revision_history`` at appropriate times. (Andrew Bennetts)
3967
3968
BUGFIXES:
3969
3970
* Take ``smtp_server`` from user config into account.
3971
(vila, #92195)
3972
3973
* Restore Unicode filename handling for versioned and unversioned files.
3974
(John Arbash Meinel, #92608)
3975
3976
* Don't fail during ``bzr commit`` if a file is marked removed, and
3977
the containing directory is auto-removed. (John Arbash Meinel, #93681)
3978
3979
* ``bzr status FILENAME`` failed on Windows because of an uncommon
3980
errno. (``ERROR_DIRECTORY == 267 != ENOTDIR``).
3981
(Wouter van Heyst, John Arbash Meinel, #90819)
3982
3983
* ``bzr checkout source`` should create a local branch in the same
3984
format as source. (John Arbash Meinel, #93854)
3985
3986
* ``bzr commit`` with a kind change was failing to update the
3987
last-changed-revision for directories. The
3988
InventoryDirectory._unchanged only looked at the ``parent_id`` and name,
3989
ignoring the fact that the kind could have changed, too.
3990
(John Arbash Meinel, #90111)
3991
3992
* ``bzr mv dir/subdir other`` was incorrectly updating files inside
3993
the directory. So that there was a chance it would break commit,
3994
etc. (John Arbash Meinel, #94037)
3995
3996
* Correctly handles mutiple permanent http redirections.

4000
-----------------------
4001
4002
NOTES WHEN UPGRADING:
4003
4004
* Release 0.15rc2 of bzr changes the ``bzr init-repo`` command to
4005
default to ``--trees`` instead of ``--no-trees``.
4006
Existing shared repositories are not affected.
4007
4008
IMPROVEMENTS:
4009
4010
* New ``merge-directive`` command to generate machine- and human-readable
4011
merge requests. (Aaron Bentley)
4012
4013
* New ``submit:`` revision specifier makes it easy to diff against the
4014
common ancestor with the submit location (Aaron Bentley)
4015
4016
* Added support for Putty's SSH implementation. (Dmitry Vasiliev)
4017
4018
* Added ``bzr status --versioned`` to report only versioned files,
4019
not unknowns. (Kent Gibson)
4020
4021
* Merge now autodetects the correct line-ending style for its conflict
4022
markers. (Aaron Bentley)
4023
4024
INTERNALS:
4025
4026
* Refactored SSH vendor registration into SSHVendorManager class.
4027
(Dmitry Vasiliev)
4028
4029
BUGFIXES:
4030
4031
* New ``--numbered-dirs`` option to ``bzr selftest`` to use
4032
numbered dirs for TestCaseInTempDir. This is default behavior
4033
on Windows. Anyone can force named dirs on Windows
4034
with ``--no-numbered-dirs``. (Alexander Belchenko)
4035
4036
* Fix ``RevisionSpec_revid`` to handle the Unicode strings passed in
4037
from the command line. (Marien Zwart, #90501)
4038
4039
* Fix ``TreeTransform._iter_changes`` when both the source and
4040
destination are missing. (Aaron Bentley, #88842)
4041
4042
* Fix commit of merges with symlinks in dirstate trees.
4043
(Marien Zwart)
4044
4045
* Switch the ``bzr init-repo`` default from --no-trees to --trees.

bzr 0.15rc1 2007-03-07
4050
-----------------------
4051
4052
SURPRISES:
4053
4054
* The default disk format has changed. Please run 'bzr upgrade' in your
4055
working trees to upgrade. This new default is compatible for network
4056
operations, but not for local operations. That is, if you have two
4057
versions of bzr installed locally, after upgrading you can only use the
4058
bzr 0.15 version. This new default does not enable tags or nested-trees
4059
as they are incompatible with bzr versions before 0.15 over the network.
4060
4061
* For users of bzrlib: Two major changes have been made to the working tree
4062
api in bzrlib. The first is that many methods and attributes, including
4063
the inventory attribute, are no longer valid for use until one of
4064
``lock_read``/``lock_write``/``lock_tree_write`` has been called,
4065
and become invalid again after unlock is called. This has been done
4066
to improve performance and correctness as part of the dirstate
4067
development.
4068
(Robert Collins, John A Meinel, Martin Pool, and others).
4069
4070
* For users of bzrlib: The attribute 'tree.inventory' should be considered
4071
readonly. Previously it was possible to directly alter this attribute, or
4072
its contents, and have the tree notice this. This has been made
4073
unsupported - it may work in some tree formats, but in the newer dirstate
4074
format such actions will have no effect and will be ignored, or even
4075
cause assertions. All operations possible can still be carried out by a
4076
combination of the tree API, and the bzrlib.transform API. (Robert
4077
Collins, John A Meinel, Martin Pool, and others).
4078
4079
IMPROVEMENTS:
4080
4081
* Support for OS Windows 98. Also .bzr.log on any windows system
4082
saved in My Documents folder. (Alexander Belchenko)
4083
4084
* ``bzr mv`` enhanced to support already moved files.
4085
In the past the mv command would have failed if the source file doesn't
4086
exist. In this situation ``bzr mv`` would now detect that the file has
4087
already moved and update the repository accordingly, if the target file
4088
does exist.
4089
A new option ``--after`` has been added so that if two files already
4090
exist, you could notify Bazaar that you have moved a (versioned) file
4091
and replaced it with another. Thus in this case ``bzr move --after``
4092
will only update the Bazaar identifier.
4093
(Steffen Eichenberg, Marius Kruger)
4094
4095
* ``ls`` now works on treeless branches and remote branches.
4096
(Aaron Bentley)
4097
4098
* ``bzr help global-options`` describes the global options.
4099
(Aaron Bentley)
4100
4101
* ``bzr pull --overwrite`` will now correctly overwrite checkouts.
4102
(Robert Collins)
4103
4104
* Files are now allowed to change kind (e.g. from file to symlink).
4105
Supported by ``commit``, ``revert`` and ``status``
4106
(Aaron Bentley)
4107
4108
* ``inventory`` and ``unknowns`` hidden in favour of ``ls``
4109
(Aaron Bentley)
4110
4111
* ``bzr help checkouts`` descibes what checkouts are and some possible
4112
uses of them. (James Westby, Aaron Bentley)
4113
4114
* A new ``-d`` option to push, pull and merge overrides the default
4115
directory. (Martin Pool)
4116
4117
* Branch format 6: smaller, and potentially faster than format 5. Supports
4118
``append_history_only`` mode, where the log view and revnos do not change,
4119
except by being added to. Stores policy settings in
4120
".bzr/branch/branch.conf".
4121
4122
* ``append_only`` branches: Format 6 branches may be configured so that log
4123
view and revnos are always consistent. Either create the branch using
4124
"bzr init --append-revisions-only" or edit the config file as descriped
4125
in docs/configuration.txt.
4126
4127
* rebind: Format 6 branches retain the last-used bind location, so if you
4128
"bzr unbind", you can "bzr bind" to bind to the previously-selected
4129
bind location.
4130
4131
* Builtin tags support, created and deleted by the ``tag`` command and
4132
stored in the branch. Tags can be accessed with the revisionspec
4133
``-rtag:``, and listed with ``bzr tags``. Tags are not versioned
4134
at present. Tags require a network incompatible upgrade. To perform this
4135
upgrade, run ``bzr upgrade --dirstate-tags`` in your branch and
4136
repositories. (Martin Pool)
4137
4138
* The ``bzr://`` transport now has a well-known port number, 4155,
4139
which it will use by default. (Andrew Bennetts, Martin Pool)
4140
4141
* Bazaar now looks for user-installed plugins before looking for site-wide
4142
plugins. (Jonathan Lange)
4143
4144
* ``bzr resolve`` now detects and marks resolved text conflicts.
4145
(Aaron Bentley)
4146
4147
INTERNALS:
4148
4149
* Internally revision ids and file ids are now passed around as utf-8
4150
bytestrings, rather than treating them as Unicode strings. This has
4151
performance benefits for Knits, since we no longer need to decode the
4152
revision id for each line of content, nor for each entry in the index.
4153
This will also help with the future dirstate format.
4154
(John Arbash Meinel)
4155
4156
* Reserved ids (any revision-id ending in a colon) are rejected by
4157
versionedfiles, repositories, branches, and working trees
4158
(Aaron Bentley)
4159
4160
* Minor performance improvement by not creating a ProgressBar for
4161
every KnitIndex we create. (about 90ms for a bzr.dev tree)
4162
(John Arbash Meinel)
4163
4164
* New easier to use Branch hooks facility. There are five initial hooks,
4165
all documented in bzrlib.branch.BranchHooks.__init__ - ``'set_rh'``,
4166
``'post_push'``, ``'post_pull'``, ``'post_commit'``,
4167
``'post_uncommit'``. These hooks fire after the matching operation
4168
on a branch has taken place, and were originally added for the
4169
branchrss plugin. (Robert Collins)
4170
4171
* New method ``Branch.push()`` which should be used when pushing from a
4172
branch as it makes performance and policy decisions to match the UI
4173
level command ``push``. (Robert Collins).
4174
4175
* Add a new method ``Tree.revision_tree`` which allows access to cached
4176
trees for arbitrary revisions. This allows the in development dirstate
4177
tree format to provide access to the callers to cached copies of
4178
inventory data which are cheaper to access than inventories from the
4179
repository.
4180
(Robert Collins, Martin Pool)
4181
4182
* New ``Branch.last_revision_info`` method, this is being done to allow
4183
optimization of requests for both the number of revisions and the last
4184
revision of a branch with smartservers and potentially future branch
4185
formats. (Wouter van Heyst, Robert Collins)
4186
4187
* Allow ``'import bzrlib.plugins.NAME'`` to work when the plugin NAME has not
4188
yet been loaded by ``load_plugins()``. This allows plugins to depend on each
4189
other for code reuse without requiring users to perform file-renaming
4190
gymnastics. (Robert Collins)
4191
4192
* New Repository method ``'gather_stats'`` for statistic data collection.
4193
This is expected to grow to cover a number of related uses mainly
4194
related to bzr info. (Robert Collins)
4195
4196
* Log formatters are now managed with a registry.
4197
``log.register_formatter`` continues to work, but callers accessing
4198
the FORMATTERS dictionary directly will not.
4199
4200
* Allow a start message to be passed to the ``edit_commit_message``
4201
function. This will be placed in the message offered to the user
4202
for editing above the separator. It allows a template commit message
4203
to be used more easily. (James Westby)
4204
4205
* ``GPGStrategy.sign()`` will now raise ``BzrBadParameterUnicode`` if
4206
you pass a Unicode string rather than an 8-bit string. Callers need
4207
to be updated to encode first. (John Arbash Meinel)
4208
4209
* Branch.push, pull, merge now return Result objects with information
4210
about what happened, rather than a scattering of various methods. These
4211
are also passed to the post hooks. (Martin Pool)
4212
4213
* File formats and architecture is in place for managing a forest of trees
4214
in bzr, and splitting up existing trees into smaller subtrees, and
4215
finally joining trees to make a larger tree. This is the first iteration
4216
of this support, and the user-facing aspects still require substantial
4217
work. If you wish to experiment with it, use ``bzr upgrade
4218
--dirstate-with-subtree`` in your working trees and repositories.
4219
You can use the hidden commands ``split`` and ``join`` and to create
4220
and manipulate nested trees, but please consider using the nested-trees
4221
branch, which contains substantial UI improvements, instead.
4222

4223
(Aaron Bentley, Martin Pool, Robert Collins).
4224
4225
BUGFIXES:
4226
4227
* ``bzr annotate`` now uses dotted revnos from the viewpoint of the
4228
branch, rather than the last changed revision of the file.
4229
(John Arbash Meinel, #82158)
4230
4231
* Lock operations no longer hang if they encounter a permission problem.
4232
(Aaron Bentley)
4233
4234
* ``bzr push`` can resume a push that was canceled before it finished.
4235
Also, it can push even if the target directory exists if you supply
4236
the ``--use-existing-dir`` flag.
4237
(John Arbash Meinel, #30576, #45504)
4238
4239
* Fix http proxy authentication when user and an optional
4240
password appears in the ``*_proxy`` vars. (Vincent Ladeuil,
4241
#83954).
4242
4243
* ``bzr log branch/file`` works for local treeless branches
4244
(Aaron Bentley, #84247)
4245
4246
* Fix problem with UNC paths on Windows 98. (Alexander Belchenko, #84728)
4247
4248
* Searching location of CA bundle for PyCurl in env variable
4249
(``CURL_CA_BUNDLE``), and on win32 along the PATH.
4250
(Alexander Belchenko, #82086)
4251
4252
* ``bzr init`` works with unicode argument LOCATION.
4253
(Alexander Belchenko, #85599)
4254
4255
* Raise ``DependencyNotPresent`` if pycurl do not support https.
4256
(Vincent Ladeuil, #85305)
4257
4258
* Invalid proxy env variables should not cause a traceback.
4259
(Vincent Ladeuil, #87765)
4260
4261
* Ignore patterns normalised to use '/' path separator.
4262
(Kent Gibson, #86451)
4263
4264
* bzr rocks. It sure does! Fix case. (Vincent Ladeuil, #78026)
4265
4266
* Fix bzrtools shelve command for removed lines beginning with "--"
4267
(Johan Dahlberg, #75577)
4268
4269
TESTING:
4270
4271
* New ``--first`` option to ``bzr selftest`` to run specified tests

4278
IMPROVEMENTS:
4279
4280
* ``bzr help global-options`` describes the global options. (Aaron Bentley)
4281
4282
BUG FIXES:
4283
4284
* Skip documentation generation tests if the tools to do so are not
4285
available. Fixes running selftest for installled copies of bzr.
4286
(John Arbash Meinel, #80330)
4287
4288
* Fix the code that discovers whether bzr is being run from it's
4289
working tree to handle the case when it isn't but the directory
4290
it is in is below a repository. (James Westby, #77306)

4293
bzr 0.14rc1 2007-01-16
4294
-----------------------
4295
4296
IMPROVEMENTS:
4297
4298
* New connection: ``bzr+http://`` which supports tunnelling the smart
4299
protocol over an HTTP connection. If writing is enabled on the bzr
4300
server, then you can write over the http connection.
4301
(Andrew Bennetts, John Arbash Meinel)
4302
4303
* Aliases now support quotation marks, so they can contain whitespace
4304
(Marius Kruger)
4305
4306
* PyCurlTransport now use a single curl object. By specifying explicitly
4307
the 'Range' header, we avoid the need to use two different curl objects
4308
(and two connections to the same server). (Vincent Ladeuil)
4309
4310
* ``bzr commit`` does not prompt for a message until it is very likely to
4311
succeed. (Aaron Bentley)
4312
4313
* ``bzr conflicts`` now takes --text to list pathnames of text conflicts
4314
(Aaron Bentley)
4315
4316
* Fix ``iter_lines_added_or_present_in_versions`` to use a set instead
4317
of a list while checking if a revision id was requested. Takes 10s
4318
off of the ``fileids_affected_by_revision_ids`` time, which is 10s
4319
of the ``bzr branch`` time. Also improve ``fileids_...`` time by
4320
filtering lines with a regex rather than multiple ``str.find()``
4321
calls. (saves another 300ms) (John Arbash Meinel)
4322
4323
* Policy can be set for each configuration key. This allows keys to be
4324
inherited properly across configuration entries. For example, this
4325
should enable you to do::
4326
4327
[/home/user/project]
4328
push_location = sftp://host/srv/project/
4329
push_location:policy = appendpath
4330
4331
And then a branch like ``/home/user/project/mybranch`` should get an
4332
automatic push location of ``sftp://host/srv/project/mybranch``.
4333
(James Henstridge)
4334
4335
* Added ``bzr status --short`` to make status report svn style flags
4336
for each file. For example::
4337
4338
$ bzr status --short
4339
A foo
4340
A bar
4341
D baz
4342
? wooley
4343
4344
* 'bzr selftest --clean-output' allows easily clean temporary tests
4345
directories without running tests. (Alexander Belchenko)
4346
4347
* ``bzr help hidden-commands`` lists all hidden commands. (Aaron Bentley)
4348
4349
* ``bzr merge`` now has an option ``--pull`` to fall back to pull if
4350
local is fully merged into remote. (Jan Hudec)
4351
4352
* ``bzr help formats`` describes available directory formats. (Aaron Bentley)
4353
4354
INTERNALS:
4355
4356
* A few tweaks directly to ``fileids_affected_by_revision_ids`` to
4357
help speed up processing, as well allowing to extract unannotated
4358
lines. Between the two ``fileids_affected_by_revision_ids`` is
4359
improved by approx 10%. (John Arbash Meinel)
4360
4361
* Change Revision serialization to only write out millisecond
4362
resolution. Rather than expecting floating point serialization to
4363
preserve more resolution than we need. (Henri Weichers, Martin Pool)
4364
4365
* Test suite ends cleanly on Windows. (Vincent Ladeuil)
4366
4367
* When ``encoding_type`` attribute of class Command is equal to 'exact',
4368
force sys.stdout to be a binary stream on Windows, and therefore
4369
keep exact line-endings (without LF -> CRLF conversion).
4370
(Alexander Belchenko)
4371
4372
* Single-letter short options are no longer globally declared. (Martin
4373
Pool)
4374
4375
* Before using detected user/terminal encoding bzr should check
4376
that Python has corresponding codec. (Alexander Belchenko)
4377
4378
* Formats for end-user selection are provided via a FormatRegistry (Aaron Bentley)
4379
4380
BUG FIXES:
4381
4382
* ``bzr missing --verbose`` was showing adds/removals in the wrong
4383
direction. (John Arbash Meinel)
4384
4385
* ``bzr annotate`` now defaults to showing dotted revnos for merged
4386
revisions. It cuts them off at a depth of 12 characters, but you can
4387
supply ``--long`` to see the full number. You can also use
4388
``--show-ids`` to display the original revision ids, rather than
4389
revision numbers and committer names. (John Arbash Meinel, #75637)
4390
4391
* bzr now supports Win32 UNC path (e.g. ``\HOST\path``.
4392
(Alexander Belchenko, #57869)
4393
4394
* Win32-specific: output of cat, bundle and diff commands don't mangle
4395
line-endings (Alexander Belchenko, #55276)
4396
4397
* Replace broken fnmatch based ignore pattern matching with custom pattern
4398
matcher.
4399
(Kent Gibson, Jan Hudec #57637)
4400
4401
* pycurl and urllib can detect short reads at different places. Update
4402
the test suite to test more cases. Also detect http error code 416
4403
which was raised for that specific bug. Also enhance the urllib
4404
robustness by detecting invalid ranges (and pycurl's one by detecting
4405
short reads during the initial GET). (Vincent Ladeuil, #73948)
4406
4407
* The urllib connection sharing interacts badly with urllib2
4408
proxy setting (the connections didn't go thru the proxy
4409
anymore). Defining a proper ProxyHandler solves the
4410
problem. (Vincent Ladeuil, #74759)
4411
4412
* Use urlutils to generate relative URLs, not osutils
4413
(Aaron Bentley, #76229)
4414
4415
* ``bzr status`` in a readonly directory should work without giving
4416
lots of errors. (John Arbash Meinel, #76299)
4417
4418
* Mention the revisionspec topic for the revision option help.
4419
(Wouter van Heyst, #31663)
4420
4421
* Allow plugins import from zip archives.

IMPROVEMENTS:
4434
4435
* New command ``bzr remove-tree`` allows the removal of the working
4436
tree from a branch.
4437
(Daniel Silverstone)
4438
4439
* urllib uses shared keep-alive connections, so http
4440
operations are substantially faster.
4441
(Vincent Ladeuil, #53654)
4442
4443
* ``bzr export`` allows an optional branch parameter, to export a bzr
4444
tree from some other url. For example:
4445
``bzr export bzr.tar.gz http://bazaar-vcs.org/bzr/bzr.dev``
4446
(Daniel Silverstone)
4447
4448
* Added ``bzr help topics`` to the bzr help system. This gives a
4449
location for general information, outside of a specific command.
4450
This includes updates for ``bzr help revisionspec`` the first topic
4451
included. (Goffredo Baroncelli, John Arbash Meinel, #42714)
4452
4453
* WSGI-compatible HTTP smart server. See ``doc/http_smart_server.txt``.
4454
(Andrew Bennetts)
4455
4456
* Knit files will now cache full texts only when the size of the
4457
deltas is as large as the size of the fulltext. (Or after 200
4458
deltas, whichever comes first). This has the most benefit on large
4459
files with small changes, such as the inventory for a large project.
4460
(eg For a project with 2500 files, and 7500 revisions, it changes
4461
the size of inventory.knit from 11MB to 5.4MB) (John Arbash Meinel)
4462
4463
INTERNALS:
4464
4465
* New -D option given before the command line turns on debugging output
4466
for particular areas. -Derror shows tracebacks on all errors.
4467
(Martin Pool)
4468
4469
* Clean up ``bzr selftest --benchmark bundle`` to correct an import,
4470
and remove benchmarks that take longer than 10min to run.
4471
(John Arbash Meinel)
4472
4473
* Use ``time.time()`` instead of ``time.clock()`` to decide on
4474
progress throttling. Because ``time.clock()`` is actually CPU time,
4475
so over a high-latency connection, too many updates get throttled.
4476
(John Arbash Meinel)
4477
4478
* ``MemoryTransport.list_dir()`` would strip the first character for
4479
files or directories in root directory. (John Arbash Meinel)
4480
4481
* New method ``get_branch_reference`` on 'BzrDir' allows the detection of
4482
branch references - which the smart server component needs.
4483
4484
* New ``ChrootTransportDecorator``, accessible via the ``chroot+`` url
4485
prefix. It disallows any access to locations above a set URL. (Andrew
4486
Bennetts)
4487
4488
BUG FIXES:
4489
4490
* Now ``_KnitIndex`` properly decode revision ids when loading index data.
4491
And optimize the knit index parsing code.
4492
(Dmitry Vasiliev, John Arbash Meinel)
4493
4494
* ``bzrlib/bzrdir.py`` was directly referencing ``bzrlib.workingtree``,
4495
without importing it. This prevented ``bzr upgrade`` from working
4496
unless a plugin already imported ``bzrlib.workingtree``
4497
(John Arbash Meinel, #70716)
4498
4499
* Suppress the traceback on invalid URLs (Vincent Ladeuil, #70803).
4500
4501
* Give nicer error message when an http server returns a 403
4502
error code. (Vincent Ladeuil, #57644).
4503
4504
* When a multi-range http GET request fails, try a single
4505
range one. If it fails too, forget about ranges. Remember that until
4506
the death of the transport and propagates that to the clones.
4507
(Vincent Ladeuil, #62276, #62029).
4508
4509
* Handles user/passwords supplied in url from command
4510
line (for the urllib implementation). Don't request already
4511
known passwords (Vincent Ladeuil, #42383, #44647, #48527)
4512
4513
* ``_KnitIndex.add_versions()`` dictionary compresses revision ids as they
4514
are added. This fixes bug where fetching remote revisions records
4515
them as full references rather than integers.
4516
(John Arbash Meinel, #64789)
4517
4518
* ``bzr ignore`` strips trailing slashes in patterns.
4519
Also ``bzr ignore`` rejects absolute paths. (Kent Gibson, #4559)
4520
4521
* ``bzr ignore`` takes multiple arguments. (Cheuksan Edward Wang, #29488)
4522
4523
* mv correctly handles paths that traverse symlinks.
4524
(Aaron Bentley, #66964)
4525
4526
* Give nicer looking error messages when failing to connect over ssh.
4527
(John Arbash Meinel, #49172)
4528
4529
* Pushing to a remote branch does not currently update the remote working
4530
tree. After a remote push, ``bzr status`` and ``bzr diff`` on the remote
4531
machine now show that the working tree is out of date.
4532
(Cheuksan Edward Wang #48136)
4533
4534
* Use patiencediff instead of difflib for determining deltas to insert
4535
into knits. This avoids the O(N^3) behavior of difflib. Patience
4536
diff should be O(N^2). (Cheuksan Edward Wang, #65714)
4537
4538
* Running ``bzr log`` on nonexistent file gives an error instead of the
4539
entire log history. (Cheuksan Edward Wang #50793)
4540
4541
* ``bzr cat`` can look up contents of removed or renamed files. If the
4542
pathname is ambiguous, i.e. the files in the old and new trees have
4543
different id's, the default is the file in the new tree. The user can
4544
use "--name-from-revision" to select the file in the old tree.
4545
(Cheuksan Edward Wang, #30190)
4546
4547
TESTING:
4548
4549
* TestingHTTPRequestHandler really handles the Range header
4550
(previously it was ignoring it and returning the whole file,).

4555
INTERNALS:

4562
-----------------------
4563
4564
IMPROVEMENTS:
4565
4566
* ``bzr log`` now shows dotted-decimal revision numbers for all revisions,
4567
rather than just showing a decimal revision number for revisions on the
4568
mainline. These revision numbers are not yet accepted as input into bzr
4569
commands such as log, diff etc. (Robert Collins)
4570
4571
* revisions can now be specified using dotted-decimal revision numbers.
4572
For instance, ``bzr diff -r 1.2.1..1.2.3``. (Robert Collins)
4573
4574
* ``bzr help commands`` output is now shorter (Aaron Bentley)
4575
4576
* ``bzr`` now uses lazy importing to reduce the startup time. This has
4577
a moderate effect on lots of actions, especially ones that have
4578
little to do. For example ``bzr rocks`` time is down to 116ms from
4579
283ms. (John Arbash Meinel)
4580
4581
* New Registry class to provide name-to-object registry-like support,
4582
for example for schemes where plugins can register new classes to
4583
do certain tasks (e.g. log formatters). Also provides lazy registration
4584
to allow modules to be loaded on request.
4585
(John Arbash Meinel, Adeodato Simó)
4586
4587
API INCOMPATABILITY:
4588
4589
* LogFormatter subclasses show now expect the 'revno' parameter to
4590
show() to be a string rather than an int. (Robert Collins)
4591
4592
INTERNALS:
4593
4594
* ``TestCase.run_bzr``, ``run_bzr_captured``, and ``run_bzr_subprocess``
4595
can take a ``working_dir='foo'`` parameter, which will change directory
4596
for the command. (John Arbash Meinel)
4597
4598
* ``bzrlib.lazy_regex.lazy_compile`` can be used to create a proxy
4599
around a regex, which defers compilation until first use.
4600
(John Arbash Meinel)
4601
4602
* ``TestCase.run_bzr_subprocess`` defaults to supplying the
4603
``--no-plugins`` parameter to ensure test reproducability, and avoid
4604
problems with system-wide installed plugins. (John Arbash Meinel)
4605
4606
* Unique tree root ids are now supported. Newly created trees still
4607
use the common root id for compatibility with bzr versions before 0.12.
4608
(Aaron Bentley)
4609
4610
* ``WorkingTree.set_root_id(None)`` is now deprecated. Please
4611
pass in ``inventory.ROOT_ID`` if you want the default root id value.
4612
(Robert Collins, John Arbash Meinel)
4613
4614
* New method ``WorkingTree.flush()`` which will write the current memory
4615
inventory out to disk. At the same time, ``read_working_inventory`` will
4616
no longer trash the current tree inventory if it has been modified within
4617
the current lock, and the tree will now ``flush()`` automatically on
4618
``unlock()``. ``WorkingTree.set_root_id()`` has been updated to take
4619
advantage of this functionality. (Robert Collins, John Arbash Meinel)
4620
4621
* ``bzrlib.tsort.merge_sorted`` now accepts ``generate_revnos``. This
4622
parameter will cause it to add another column to its output, which
4623
contains the dotted-decimal revno for each revision, as a tuple.
4624
(Robert Collins)
4625
4626
* ``LogFormatter.show_merge`` is deprecated in favour of
4627
``LogFormatter.show_merge_revno``. (Robert Collins)
4628
4629
BUG FIXES:
4630
4631
* Avoid circular imports by creating a deprecated function for
4632
``bzrlib.tree.RevisionTree``. Callers should have been using
4633
``bzrlib.revisontree.RevisionTree`` anyway. (John Arbash Meinel,
4634
#63360, #66349)
4635
4636
* Don't use ``socket.MSG_WAITALL`` as it doesn't exist on all
4637
platforms. (Martin Pool, #66356)
4638
4639
* Don't require ``Content-Type`` in range responses. Assume they are a
4640
single range if ``Content-Type`` does not exist.
4641
(John Arbash Meinel, #62473)
4642
4643
* bzr branch/pull no longer complain about progress bar cleanup when
4644
interrupted during fetch. (Aaron Bentley, #54000)
4645
4646
* ``WorkingTree.set_parent_trees()`` uses the trees to directly write
4647
the basis inventory, rather than going through the repository. This
4648
allows us to have 1 inventory read, and 2 inventory writes when
4649
committing a new tree. (John Arbash Meinel)
4650
4651
* When reverting, files that are not locally modified that do not exist
4652
in the target are deleted, not just unversioned (Aaron Bentley)
4653
4654
* When trying to acquire a lock, don't fail immediately. Instead, try
4655
a few times (up to 1 hour) before timing out. Also, report why the
4656
lock is unavailable (John Arbash Meinel, #43521, #49556)
4657
4658
* Leave HttpTransportBase daughter classes decides how they
4659
implement cloning. (Vincent Ladeuil, #61606)
4660
4661
* diff3 does not indicate conflicts on clean merge. (Aaron Bentley)
4662
4663
* If a commit fails, the commit message is stored in a file at the root of
4664
the tree for later commit. (Cheuksan Edward Wang, Stefan Metzmacher,
4665
#32054)
4666
4667
TESTING:
4668
4669
* New test base class TestCaseWithMemoryTransport offers memory-only
4670
testing facilities: its not suitable for tests that need to mutate disk
4671
state, but most tests should not need that and should be converted to
4672
TestCaseWithMemoryTransport. (Robert Collins)
4673
4674
* ``TestCase.make_branch_and_memory_tree`` now takes a format
4675
option to set the BzrDir, Repository and Branch formats of the
4676
created objects. (Robert Collins, John Arbash Meinel)
4677
4678
bzr 0.11 2006-10-02
4679
--------------------
4680
4681
* Smart server transport test failures on windows fixed. (Lukáš Lalinský).
4682
4683
bzr 0.11rc2 2006-09-27
4684
-----------------------
4685
4686
BUG FIXES:
4687
4688
* Test suite hangs on windows fixed. (Andrew Bennets, Alexander Belchenko).
4689
4690
* Commit performance regression fixed. (Aaron Bentley, Robert Collins, John
4691
Arbash Meinel).
4692
4693
bzr 0.11rc1 2006-09-25
4694
-----------------------
4695
4696
IMPROVEMENTS:
4697
4698
* Knit files now wait to create their contents until the first data is
4699
added. The old code used to create an empty .knit and a .kndx with just
4700
the header. However, this caused a lot of extra round trips over sftp.
4701
This can change the time for ``bzr push`` to create a new remote branch
4702
from 160s down to 100s. This also affects ``bzr commit`` performance when
4703
adding new files, ``bzr commit`` on a new kernel-like tree drops from 50s
4704
down to 40s (John Arbash Meinel, #44692)
4705
4706
* When an entire subtree has been deleted, commit will now report that
4707
just the top of the subtree has been deleted, rather than reporting
4708
all the individual items. (Robert Collins)
4709
4710
* Commit performs one less XML parse. (Robert Collins)
4711
4712
* ``bzr checkout`` now operates on readonly branches as well
4713
as readwrite branches. This fixes bug #39542. (Robert Collins)
4714
4715
* ``bzr bind`` no longer synchronises history with the master branch.
4716
Binding should be followed by an update or push to synchronise the
4717
two branches. This is closely related to the fix for bug #39542.
4718
(Robert Collins)
4719
4720
* ``bzrlib.lazy_import.lazy_import`` function to create on-demand
4721
objects. This allows all imports to stay at the global scope, but
4722
modules will not actually be imported if they are not used.
4723
(John Arbash Meinel)
4724
4725
* Support ``bzr://`` and ``bzr+ssh://`` urls to work with the new RPC-based
4726
transport which will be used with the upcoming high-performance smart
4727
server. The new command ``bzr serve`` will invoke bzr in server mode,
4728
which processes these requests. (Andrew Bennetts, Robert Collins, Martin
4729
Pool)
4730
4731
* New command ``bzr version-info`` which can be used to get a summary
4732
of the current state of the tree. This is especially useful as part
4733
of a build commands. See ``doc/version_info.txt`` for more information
4734
(John Arbash Meinel)
4735
4736
BUG FIXES:
4737
4738
* ``'bzr inventory [FILE...]'`` allows restricting the file list to a
4739
specific set of files. (John Arbash Meinel, #3631)
4740
4741
* Don't abort when annotating empty files (John Arbash Meinel, #56814)
4742
4743
* Add ``Stanza.to_unicode()`` which can be passed to another Stanza
4744
when nesting stanzas. Also, add ``read_stanza_unicode`` to handle when
4745
reading a nested Stanza. (John Arbash Meinel)
4746
4747
* Transform._set_mode() needs to stat the right file.
4748
(John Arbash Meinel, #56549)
4749
4750
* Raise WeaveFormatError rather than StopIteration when trying to read
4751
an empty Weave file. (John Arbash Meinel, #46871)
4752
4753
* Don't access e.code for generic URLErrors, only HTTPErrors have .code.
4754
(Vincent Ladeuil, #59835)
4755
4756
* Handle boundary="" lines properly to allow access through a Squid proxy.
4757
(John Arbash Meinel, #57723)
4758
4759
* revert now removes newly-added directories (Aaron Bentley, #54172)
4760
4761
* ``bzr upgrade sftp://`` shouldn't fail to upgrade v6 branches if there
4762
isn't a working tree. (David Allouche, #40679)
4763
4764
* Give nicer error messages when a user supplies an invalid --revision
4765
parameter. (John Arbash Meinel, #55420)
4766
4767
* Handle when LANG is not recognized by python. Emit a warning, but
4768
just revert to using 'ascii'. (John Arbash Meinel, #35392)
4769
4770
* Don't use ``preexec_fn`` on win32, as it is not supported by subprocess.
4771
(John Arbash Meinel)
4772
4773
* Skip specific tests when the dependencies aren't met. This includes
4774
some ``setup.py`` tests when ``python-dev`` is not available, and
4775
some tests that depend on paramiko. (John Arbash Meinel, Mattheiu Moy)
4776
4777
* Fallback to Paramiko properly, if no ``ssh`` executable exists on
4778
the system. (Andrew Bennetts, John Arbash Meinel)
4779
4780
* ``Branch.bind(other_branch)`` no longer takes a write lock on the
4781
other branch, and will not push or pull between the two branches.
4782
API users will need to perform a push or pull or update operation if they
4783
require branch synchronisation to take place. (Robert Collins, #47344)
4784
4785
* When creating a tarball or zipfile export, export unicode names as utf-8
4786
paths. This may not work perfectly on all platforms, but has the best
4787
chance of working in the common case. (John Arbash Meinel, #56816)
4788
4789
* When committing, only files that exist in working tree or basis tree
4790
may be specified (Aaron Bentley, #50793)
4791
4792
PORTABILITY:
4793
4794
* Fixes to run on Python 2.5 (Brian M. Carlson, Martin Pool, Marien Zwart)
4795
4796
INTERNALS:
4797
4798
* TestCaseInTempDir now creates a separate directory for HOME, rather
4799
than having HOME set to the same location as the working directory.
4800
(John Arbash Meinel)
4801
4802
* ``run_bzr_subprocess()`` can take an optional ``env_changes={}`` parameter,
4803
which will update os.environ inside the spawned child. It also can
4804
take a ``universal_newlines=True``, which helps when checking the output
4805
of the command. (John Arbash Meinel)
4806
4807
* Refactor SFTP vendors to allow easier re-use when ssh is used.
4808
(Andrew Bennetts)
4809
4810
* ``Transport.list_dir()`` and ``Transport.iter_files_recursive()`` should always
4811
return urlescaped paths. This is now tested (there were bugs in a few
4812
of the transports) (Andrew Bennetts, David Allouche, John Arbash Meinel)
4813
4814
* New utility function ``symbol_versioning.deprecation_string``. Returns the
4815
formatted string for a callable, deprecation format pair. (Robert Collins)
4816
4817
* New TestCase helper applyDeprecated. This allows you to call a callable
4818
which is deprecated without it spewing to the screen, just by supplying
4819
the deprecation format string issued for it. (Robert Collins)
4820
4821
* Transport.append and Transport.put have been deprecated in favor of
4822
``.append_bytes``, ``.append_file``, ``.put_bytes``, and
4823
``.put_file``. This removes the ambiguity in what type of object the
4824
functions take. ``Transport.non_atomic_put_{bytes,file}`` has also
4825
been added. Which works similarly to ``Transport.append()`` except for
4826
SFTP, it doesn't have a round trip when opening the file. Also, it
4827
provides functionality for creating a parent directory when trying
4828
to create a file, rather than raise NoSuchFile and forcing the
4829
caller to repeat their request.
4830
(John Arbash Meinel)
4831
4832
* WorkingTree has a new api ``unversion`` which allow the unversioning of
4833
entries by their file id. (Robert Collins)
4834
4835
* ``WorkingTree.pending_merges`` is deprecated. Please use the
4836
``get_parent_ids`` (introduced in 0.10) method instead. (Robert Collins)
4837
4838
* WorkingTree has a new ``lock_tree_write`` method which locks the branch for
4839
read rather than write. This is appropriate for actions which only need
4840
the branch data for reference rather than mutation. A new decorator
4841
``needs_tree_write_lock`` is provided in the workingtree module. Like the
4842
``needs_read_lock`` and ``needs_write_lock`` decorators this allows static
4843
declaration of the locking requirements of a function to ensure that
4844
a lock is taken out for casual scripts. (Robert Collins, #54107)
4845
4846
* All WorkingTree methods which write to the tree, but not to the branch
4847
have been converted to use ``needs_tree_write_lock`` rather than
4848
``needs_write_lock``. Also converted is the revert, conflicts and tree
4849
transform modules. This provides a modest performance improvement on
4850
metadir style trees, due to the reduce lock-acquisition, and a more
4851
significant performance improvement on lightweight checkouts from
4852
remote branches, where trivial operations used to pay a significant
4853
penalty. It also provides the basis for allowing readonly checkouts.
4854
(Robert Collins)
4855
4856
* Special case importing the standard library 'copy' module. This shaves
4857
off 40ms of startup time, while retaining compatibility. See:
4858
``bzrlib/inspect_for_copy.py`` for more details. (John Arbash Meinel)
4859
4860
* WorkingTree has a new parent class MutableTree which represents the
4861
specialisations of Tree which are able to be altered. (Robert Collins)
4862
4863
* New methods mkdir and ``put_file_bytes_non_atomic`` on MutableTree that
4864
mutate the tree and its contents. (Robert Collins)
4865
4866
* Transport behaviour at the root of the URL is now defined and tested.
4867
(Andrew Bennetts, Robert Collins)
4868
4869
TESTING:
4870
4871
* New test helper classs MemoryTree. This is typically accessed via
4872
``self.make_branch_and_memory_tree()`` in test cases. (Robert Collins)
4873
4874
* Add ``start_bzr_subprocess`` and ``stop_bzr_subprocess`` to allow test
4875
code to continue running concurrently with a subprocess of bzr.
4876
(Andrew Bennetts, Robert Collins)
4877
4878
* Add a new method ``Transport.get_smart_client()``. This is provided to
4879
allow upgrades to a richer interface than the VFS one provided by
4880
Transport. (Andrew Bennetts, Martin Pool)
4881
4882
bzr 0.10 2006-08-29
4883
--------------------
4884
4885
IMPROVEMENTS:
4886
* 'merge' now takes --uncommitted, to apply uncommitted changes from a
4887
tree. (Aaron Bentley)
4888
4889
* 'bzr add --file-ids-from' can be used to specify another path to use
4890
for creating file ids, rather than generating all new ones. Internally,
4891
the 'action' passed to ``smart_add_tree()`` can return ``file_ids`` that
4892
will be used, rather than having bzrlib generate new ones.
4893
(John Arbash Meinel, #55781)
4894
4895
* ``bzr selftest --benchmark`` now allows a ``--cache-dir`` parameter.
4896
This will cache some of the intermediate trees, and decrease the
4897
setup time for benchmark tests. (John Arbash Meinel)
4898
4899
* Inverse forms are provided for all boolean options. For example,
4900
--strict has --no-strict, --no-recurse has --recurse (Aaron Bentley)
4901
4902
* Serialize out Inventories directly, rather than using ElementTree.
4903
Writing out a kernel sized inventory drops from 2s down to ~350ms.
4904
(Robert Collins, John Arbash Meinel)
4905
4906
BUG FIXES:
4907
4908
* Help diffutils 2.8.4 get along with binary tests (Marien Zwart: #57614)
4909
4910
* Change LockDir so that if the lock directory doesn't exist when
4911
``lock_write()`` is called, an attempt will be made to create it.
4912
(John Arbash Meinel, #56974)
4913
4914
* ``bzr uncommit`` preserves pending merges. (John Arbash Meinel, #57660)
4915
4916
* Active FTP transport now works as intended. (ghozzy, #56472)
4917
4918
* Really fix mutter() so that it won't ever raise a UnicodeError.
4919
It means it is possible for ~/.bzr.log to contain non UTF-8 characters.
4920
But it is a debugging log, not a real user file.
4921
(John Arbash Meinel, #56947, #53880)
4922
4923
* Change Command handle to allow Unicode command and options.
4924
At present we cannot register Unicode command names, so we will get
4925
BzrCommandError('unknown command'), or BzrCommandError('unknown option')
4926
But that is better than a UnicodeError + a traceback.
4927
(John Arbash Meinel, #57123)
4928
4929
* Handle TZ=UTC properly when reading/writing revisions.
4930
(John Arbash Meinel, #55783, #56290)
4931
4932
* Use ``GPG_TTY`` to allow gpg --cl to work with gpg-agent in a pipeline,
4933
(passing text to sign in on stdin). (John Arbash Meinel, #54468)
4934
4935
* External diff does the right thing for binaries even in foreign
4936
languages. (John Arbash Meinel, #56307)
4937
4938
* Testament handles more cases when content is unicode. Specific bug was
4939
in handling of revision properties.
4940
(John Arbash Meinel, Holger Krekel, #54723)
4941
4942
* The bzr selftest was failing on installed versions due to a bug in a new
4943
test helper. (John Arbash Meinel, Robert Collins, #58057)
4944
4945
INTERNALS:
4946
4947
* ``bzrlib.cache_utf8`` contains ``encode()`` and ``decode()`` functions
4948
which can be used to cache the conversion between utf8 and Unicode.
4949
Especially helpful for some of the knit annotation code, which has to
4950
convert revision ids to utf8 to annotate lines in storage.
4951
(John Arbash Meinel)
4952
4953
* ``setup.py`` now searches the filesystem to find all packages which
4954
need to be installed. This should help make the life of packagers
4955
easier. (John Arbash Meinel)
4956
4957
bzr 0.9.0 2006-08-11
4958
---------------------
4959
4960
SURPRISES:
4961
4962
* The hard-coded built-in ignore rules have been removed. There are
4963
now two rulesets which are enforced. A user global one in
4964
``~/.bazaar/ignore`` which will apply to every tree, and the tree
4965
specific one '.bzrignore'.
4966
``~/.bazaar/ignore`` will be created if it does not exist, but with
4967
a more conservative list than the old default.
4968
This fixes bugs with default rules being enforced no matter what.
4969
The old list of ignore rules from bzr is available by
4970
running 'bzr ignore --old-default-rules'.
4971
(Robert Collins, Martin Pool, John Arbash Meinel)
4972
4973
* 'branches.conf' has been changed to 'locations.conf', since it can apply
4974
to more locations than just branch locations.
4975
(Aaron Bentley)
4976
4977
IMPROVEMENTS:
4978
4979
* The revision specifier "revno:" is extended to accept the syntax
4980
revno:N:branch. For example,
4981
revno:42:http://bazaar-vcs.org/bzr/bzr.dev/ means revision 42 in
4982
bzr.dev. (Matthieu Moy)
4983
4984
* Tests updates to ensure proper URL handling, UNICODE support, and
4985
proper printing when the user's terminal encoding cannot display
4986
the path of a file that has been versioned.
4987
``bzr branch`` can take a target URL rather than only a local directory.
4988
``Branch.get_parent()/set_parent()`` now save a relative path if possible,
4989
and normalize the parent based on root, allowing access across
4990
different transports. (John Arbash Meinel, Wouter van Heyst, Martin Pool)
4991
(Malone #48906, #42699, #40675, #5281, #3980, #36363, #43689,
4992
#42517, #42514)
4993
4994
* On Unix, detect terminal width using an ioctl not just $COLUMNS.
4995
Use terminal width for single-line logs from ``bzr log --line`` and
4996
pending-merge display. (Robert Widhopf-Fenk, Gustavo Niemeyer)
4997
(Malone #3507)
4998
4999
* On Windows, detect terminal width using GetConsoleScreenBufferInfo.
5000
(Alexander Belchenko)
5001
5002
* Speedup improvement for 'date:'-revision search. (Guillaume Pinot).
5003
5004
* Show the correct number of revisions pushed when pushing a new branch.
5005
(Robert Collins).
5006
5007
* 'bzr selftest' now shows a progress bar with the number of tests, and
5008
progress made. 'make check' shows tests in -v mode, to be more useful
5009
for the PQM status window. (Robert Collins).
5010
When using a progress bar, failed tests are printed out, rather than
5011
being overwritten by the progress bar until the suite finishes.
5012
(John Arbash Meinel)
5013
5014
* 'bzr selftest --benchmark' will run a new benchmarking selftest.
5015
'bzr selftest --benchmark --lsprof-timed' will use lsprofile to generate
5016
profile data for the individual profiled calls, allowing for fine
5017
grained analysis of performance.
5018
(Robert Collins, Martin Pool).
5019
5020
* 'bzr commit' shows a progress bar. This is useful for commits over sftp
5021
where commit can take an appreciable time. (Robert Collins)
5022
5023
* 'bzr add' is now less verbose in telling you what ignore globs were
5024
matched by files being ignored. Instead it just tells you how many
5025
were ignored (because you might reasonably be expecting none to be
5026
ignored). 'bzr add -v' is unchanged and will report every ignored
5027
file. (Robert Collins).
5028
5029
* ftp now has a test server if medusa is installed. As part of testing,
5030
ftp support has been improved, including support for supplying a
5031
non-standard port. (John Arbash Meinel).
5032
5033
* 'bzr log --line' shows the revision number, and uses only the
5034
first line of the log message (#5162, Alexander Belchenko;
5035
Matthieu Moy)
5036
5037
* 'bzr status' has had the --all option removed. The 'bzr ls' command
5038
should be used to retrieve all versioned files. (Robert Collins)
5039
5040
* 'bzr bundle OTHER/BRANCH' will create a bundle which can be sent
5041
over email, and applied on the other end, while maintaining ancestry.
5042
This bundle can be applied with either 'bzr merge' or 'bzr pull',
5043
the same way you would apply another branch.
5044
(John Arbash Meinel, Aaron Bentley)
5045
5046
* 'bzr whoami' can now be used to set your identity from the command line,
5047
for a branch or globally. (Robey Pointer)
5048
5049
* 'bzr checkout' now aliased to 'bzr co', and 'bzr annotate' to 'bzr ann'.
5050
(Michael Ellerman)
5051
5052
* 'bzr revert DIRECTORY' now reverts the contents of the directory as well.
5053
(Aaron Bentley)
5054
5055
* 'bzr get sftp://foo' gives a better error when paramiko is not present.
5056
Also updates things like 'http+pycurl://' if pycurl is not present.
5057
(John Arbash Meinel) (Malone #47821, #52204)
5058
5059
* New env variable ``BZR_PROGRESS_BAR``, sets the default progress bar type.
5060
Can be set to 'none' or 'dummy' to disable the progress bar, 'dots' or
5061
'tty' to create the respective type. (John Arbash Meinel, #42197, #51107)
5062
5063
* Improve the help text for 'bzr diff' to explain what various options do.
5064
(John Arbash Meinel, #6391)
5065
5066
* 'bzr uncommit -r 10' now uncommits revisions 11.. rather than uncommitting
5067
revision 10. This makes -r10 more in line with what other commands do.
5068
'bzr uncommit' also now saves the pending merges of the revisions that
5069
were removed. So it is safe to uncommit after a merge, fix something,
5070
and commit again. (John Arbash Meinel, #32526, #31426)
5071
5072
* 'bzr init' now also works on remote locations.
5073
(Wouter van Heyst, #48904)
5074
5075
* HTTP support has been updated. When using pycurl we now support
5076
connection keep-alive, which reduces dns requests and round trips.
5077
And for both urllib and pycurl we support multi-range requests,
5078
which decreases the number of round-trips. Performance results for
5079
``bzr branch http://bazaar-vcs.org/bzr/bzr.dev/`` indicate
5080
http branching is now 2-3x faster, and ``bzr pull`` in an existing
5081
branch is as much as 4x faster.
5082
(Michael Ellerman, Johan Rydberg, John Arbash Meinel, #46768)
5083
5084
* Performance improvements for sftp. Branching and pulling are now up to
5085
2x faster. Utilize paramiko.readv() support for async requests if it
5086
is available (paramiko > 1.6) (John Arbash Meinel)
5087
5088
BUG FIXES:
5089
5090
* Fix shadowed definition of TestLocationConfig that caused some
5091
tests not to run.
5092
(Erik Bågfors, Michael Ellerman, Martin Pool, #32587)
5093
5094
* Fix unnecessary requirement of sign-my-commits that it be run from
5095
a working directory. (Martin Pool, Robert Collins)
5096
5097
* 'bzr push location' will only remember the push location if it succeeds
5098
in connecting to the remote location. (John Arbash Meinel, #49742)
5099
5100
* 'bzr revert' no longer toggles the executable bit on win32
5101
(John Arbash Meinel, #45010)
5102
5103
* Handle broken pipe under win32 correctly. (John Arbash Meinel)
5104
5105
* sftp tests now work correctly on win32 if you have a newer paramiko
5106
(John Arbash Meinel)
5107
5108
* Cleanup win32 test suite, and general cleanup of places where
5109
file handles were being held open. (John Arbash Meinel)
5110
5111
* When specifying filenames for 'diff -r x..y', the name of the file in the
5112
working directory can be used, even if its name is different in both x
5113
and y.
5114
5115
* File-ids containing single- or double-quotes are handled correctly by
5116
push. (Aaron Bentley, #52227)
5117
5118
* Normalize unicode filenames to ensure cross-platform consistency.
5119
(John Arbash Meinel, #43689)
5120
5121
* The argument parser can now handle '-' as an argument. Currently
5122
no code interprets it specially (it is mostly handled as a file named
5123
'-'). But plugins, and future operations can use it.
5124
(John Arbash meinel, #50984)
5125
5126
* Bundles can properly read binary files with a plain '\r' in them.
5127
(John Arbash Meinel, #51927)
5128
5129
* Tuning ``iter_entries()`` to be more efficient (John Arbash Meinel, #5444)
5130
5131
* Lots of win32 fixes (the test suite passes again).
5132
(John Arbash Meinel, #50155)
5133
5134
* Handle openbsd returning None for sys.getfilesystemencoding() (#41183)
5135
5136
* Support ftp APPE (append) to allow Knits to be used over ftp (#42592)
5137
5138
* Removals are only committed if they match the filespec (or if there is
5139
no filespec). (#46635, Aaron Bentley)
5140
5141
* smart-add recurses through all supplied directories
5142
(John Arbash Meinel, #52578)
5143
5144
* Make the bundle reader extra lines before and after the bundle text.
5145
This allows you to parse an email with the bundle inline.
5146
(John Arbash Meinel, #49182)
5147
5148
* Change the file id generator to squash a little bit more. Helps when
5149
working with long filenames on windows. (Also helps for unicode filenames
5150
not generating hidden files). (John Arbash Meinel, #43801)
5151
5152
* Restore terminal mode on C-c while reading sftp password. (#48923,
5153
Nicholas Allen, Martin Pool)
5154
5155
* Timestamps are rounded to 1ms, and revision entries can be recreated
5156
exactly. (John Arbash Meinel, Jamie Wilkinson, #40693)
5157
5158
* Branch.base has changed to a URL, but ~/.bazaar/locations.conf should
5159
use local paths, since it is user visible (John Arbash Meinel, #53653)
5160
5161
* ``bzr status foo`` when foo was unversioned used to cause a full delta
5162
to be generated (John Arbash Meinel, #53638)
5163
5164
* When reading revision properties, an empty value should be considered
5165
the empty string, not None (John Arbash Meinel, #47782)
5166
5167
* ``bzr diff --diff-options`` can now handle binary files being changed.
5168
Also, the output is consistent when --diff-options is not supplied.
5169
(John Arbash Meinel, #54651, #52930)
5170
5171
* Use the right suffixes for loading plugins (John Arbash Meinel, #51810)
5172
5173
* Fix ``Branch.get_parent()`` to handle the case when the parent is not
5174
accessible (John Arbash Meinel, #52976)
5175
5176
INTERNALS:
5177
5178
* Combine the ignore rules into a single regex rather than looping over
5179
them to reduce the threshold where N^2 behaviour occurs in operations
5180
like status. (Jan Hudec, Robert Collins).
5181
5182
* Appending to ``bzrlib.DEFAULT_IGNORE`` is now deprecated. Instead, use
5183
one of the add functions in bzrlib.ignores. (John Arbash Meinel)
5184
5185
* 'bzr push' should only push the ancestry of the current revision, not
5186
all of the history in the repository. This is especially important for
5187
shared repositories. (John Arbash Meinel)
5188
5189
* ``bzrlib.delta.compare_trees`` now iterates in alphabetically sorted order,
5190
rather than randomly walking the inventories. (John Arbash Meinel)
5191
5192
* Doctests are now run in temporary directories which are cleaned up when
5193
they finish, rather than using special ScratchDir/ScratchBranch objects.
5194
(Martin Pool)
5195
5196
* Split ``check`` into separate methods on the branch and on the repository,
5197
so that it can be specialized in ways that are useful or efficient for
5198
different formats. (Martin Pool, Robert Collins)
5199
5200
* Deprecate ``Repository.all_revision_ids``; most methods don't really need
5201
the global revision graph but only that part leading up to a particular
5202
revision. (Martin Pool, Robert Collins)
5203
5204
* Add a BzrDirFormat ``control_formats`` list which allows for control formats
5205
that do not use '.bzr' to store their data - i.e. '.svn', '.hg' etc.
5206
(Robert Collins, Jelmer Vernooij).
5207
5208
* ``bzrlib.diff.external_diff`` can be redirected to any file-like object.
5209
Uses subprocess instead of spawnvp.
5210
(James Henstridge, John Arbash Meinel, #4047, #48914)
5211
5212
* New command line option '--profile-imports', which will install a custom
5213
importer to log time to import modules and regex compilation time to
5214
sys.stderr (John Arbash Meinel)
5215
5216
* 'EmptyTree' is now deprecated, please use ``repository.revision_tree(None)``
5217
instead. (Robert Collins)
5218
5219
* "RevisionTree" is now in bzrlib/revisiontree.py. (Robert Collins)

5234
Robert Collins, Erik Bågfors, #43959)
5235
5236
* Nicer messages from 'commit' in the case of renames, and correct
5237
messages when a merge has occured. (Robert Collins, Martin Pool)
5238
5239
* Separate functionality from assert statements as they are skipped in
5240
optimized mode of python. Add the same check to pending merges.

CHANGES:
5253
5254
* Make editor invocation comply with Debian Policy. First check
5255

5257
list of editors. (Olaf Conradi, #42904)
5258
5259
NEW FEATURES:
5260
5261
* New 'register-branch' command registers a public branch into

5276
bzr 0.8 2006-05-08
5277
-------------------
5278
5279
NOTES WHEN UPGRADING:
5280
5281
Release 0.8 of bzr introduces a new format for history storage, called
5282
'knit', as an evolution of to the 'weave' format used in 0.7. Local
5283
and remote operations are faster using knits than weaves. Several
5284
operations including 'init', 'init-repo', and 'upgrade' take a
5285
--format option that controls this. Branching from an existing branch
5286
will keep the same format.
5287
5288
It is possible to merge, pull and push between branches of different
5289
formats but this is slower than moving data between homogenous
5290
branches. It is therefore recommended (but not required) that you
5291
upgrade all branches for a project at the same time. Information on
5292
formats is shown by 'bzr info'.
5293
5294
bzr 0.8 now allows creation of 'repositories', which hold the history
5295
of files and revisions for several branches. Previously bzr kept all
5296
the history for a branch within the .bzr directory at the root of the
5297
branch, and this is still the default. To create a repository, use
5298
the new 'bzr init-repo' command. Branches exist as directories under
5299
the repository and contain just a small amount of information
5300
indicating the current revision of the branch.
5301
5302
bzr 0.8 also supports 'checkouts', which are similar to in cvs and
5303
subversion. Checkouts are associated with a branch (optionally in a
5304
repository), which contains all the historical information. The
5305
result is that a checkout can be deleted without losing any
5306
already-committed revisions. A new 'update' command is also available.
5307
5308
Repositories and checkouts are not supported with the 0.7 storage
5309
format. To use them you must upgrad to either knits, or to the
5310
'metaweave' format, which uses weaves but changes the .bzr directory
5311
arrangement.
5312
5313
5314
IMPROVEMENTS:
5315
5316
* Sftp paths can now be relative, or local, according to the lftp
5317
convention. Paths now take the form::
5318
5319
sftp://user:pass@host:port/~/relative/path
5320
or
5321
sftp://user:pass@host:port/absolute/path
5322
5323
* The FTP transport now tries to reconnect after a temporary
5324
failure. ftp put is made atomic. (Matthieu Moy)
5325
5326
* The FTP transport now maintains a pool of connections, and
5327
reuses them to avoid multiple connections to the same host (like
5328
sftp did). (Daniel Silverstone)
5329
5330
* The ``bzr_man.py`` file has been removed. To create the man page now,
5331
use ``./generate_docs.py man``. The new program can also create other files.
5332
Run ``python generate_docs.py --help`` for usage information.
5333
(Hans Ulrich Niedermann & James Blackwell).
5334
5335
* Man Page now gives full help (James Blackwell).
5336
Help also updated to reflect user config now being stored in .bazaar
5337
(Hans Ulrich Niedermann)
5338
5339
* It's now possible to set aliases in bazaar.conf (Erik Bågfors)
5340
5341
* Pull now accepts a --revision argument (Erik Bågfors)
5342
5343
* ``bzr re-sign`` now allows multiple revisions to be supplied on the command
5344
line. You can now use the following command to sign all of your old
5345
commits::
5346
5347
find .bzr/revision-store// -name my@email-* \
5348
| sed 's/.*\/\/..\///' \
5349
| xargs bzr re-sign
5350
5351
* Upgrade can now upgrade over the network. (Robert Collins)
5352
5353
* Two new commands 'bzr checkout' and 'bzr update' allow for CVS/SVN-alike
5354
behaviour. By default they will cache history in the checkout, but
5355
with --lightweight almost all data is kept in the master branch.
5356
(Robert Collins)
5357
5358
* 'revert' unversions newly-versioned files, instead of deleting them.
5359
5360
* 'merge' is more robust. Conflict messages have changed.
5361
5362
* 'merge' and 'revert' no longer clobber existing files that end in '~' or
5363
'.moved'.
5364
5365
* Default log format can be set in configuration and plugins can register
5366
their own formatters. (Erik Bågfors)
5367
5368
* New 'reconcile' command will check branch consistency and repair indexes
5369
that can become out of sync in pre 0.8 formats. (Robert Collins,
5370
Daniel Silverstone)
5371
5372
* New 'bzr init --format' and 'bzr upgrade --format' option to control
5373
what storage format is created or produced. (Robert Collins,
5374
Martin Pool)
5375
5376
* Add parent location to 'bzr info', if there is one. (Olaf Conradi)
5377
5378
* New developer commands 'weave-list' and 'weave-join'. (Martin Pool)
5379
5380
* New 'init-repository' command, plus support for repositories in 'init'
5381
and 'branch' (Aaron Bentley, Erik Bågfors, Robert Collins)
5382
5383
* Improve output of 'info' command. Show all relevant locations related to
5384
working tree, branch and repository. Use kibibytes for binary quantities.
5385
Fix off-by-one error in missing revisions of working tree. Make 'info'
5386
work on branches, repositories and remote locations. Show locations
5387
relative to the shared repository, if applicable. Show locking status
5388
of locations. (Olaf Conradi)
5389
5390
* Diff and merge now safely handle binary files. (Aaron Bentley)
5391
5392
* 'pull' and 'push' now normalise the revision history, so that any two
5393
branches with the same tip revision will have the same output from 'log'.
5394
(Robert Collins)
5395
5396
* 'merge' accepts --remember option to store parent location, like 'push'
5397
and 'pull'. (Olaf Conradi)
5398
5399
* bzr status and diff when files given as arguments do not exist
5400
in the relevant trees. (Martin Pool, #3619)
5401
5402
* Add '.hg' to the default ignore list. (Martin Pool)
5403
5404
* 'knit' is now the default disk format. This improves disk performance and
5405
utilization, increases incremental pull performance, robustness with SFTP
5406
and allows checkouts over SFTP to perform acceptably.
5407
The initial Knit code was contributed by Johan Rydberg based on a
5408
specification by Martin Pool.
5409
(Robert Collins, Aaron Bentley, Johan Rydberg, Martin Pool).
5410
5411
* New tool to generate all-in-one html version of the manual. (Alexander
5412
Belchenko)
5413
5414
* Hitting CTRL-C while doing an SFTP push will no longer cause stale locks
5415
to be left in the SFTP repository. (Robert Collins, Martin Pool).
5416
5417
* New option 'diff --prefix' to control how files are named in diff
5418
output, with shortcuts '-p0' and '-p1' corresponding to the options for
5419
GNU patch. (Alexander Belchenko, Goffredo Baroncelli, Martin Pool)
5420
5421
* Add --revision option to 'annotate' command. (Olaf Conradi)
5422
5423
* If bzr shows an unexpected revision-history after pulling (perhaps due
5424
to a reweave) it can now be corrected by 'bzr reconcile'.
5425
(Robert Collins)
5426
5427
CHANGES:
5428
5429
* Commit is now verbose by default, and shows changed filenames and the
5430
new revision number. (Robert Collins, Martin Pool)
5431
5432
* Unify 'mv', 'move', 'rename'. (Matthew Fuller, #5379)
5433
5434
* 'bzr -h' shows help. (Martin Pool, Ian Bicking, #35940)
5435
5436
* Make 'pull' and 'push' remember location on failure using --remember.
5437
(Olaf Conradi)
5438
5439
* For compatibility, make old format for using weaves inside metadir
5440
available as 'metaweave' format. Rename format 'metadir' to 'default'.
5441
Clean up help for option --format in commands 'init', 'init-repo' and
5442
'upgrade'. (Olaf Conradi)
5443
5444
INTERNALS:
5445
5446
* The internal storage of history, and logical branch identity have now
5447
been split into Branch, and Repository. The common locking and file
5448
management routines are now in bzrlib.lockablefiles.
5449
(Aaron Bentley, Robert Collins, Martin Pool)
5450
5451
* Transports can now raise DependencyNotPresent if they need a library
5452
which is not installed, and then another implementation will be
5453
tried. (Martin Pool)
5454
5455
* Remove obsolete (and no-op) `decode` parameter to `Transport.get`.
5456
(Martin Pool)
5457
5458
* Using Tree Transform for merge, revert, tree-building
5459
5460
* WorkingTree.create, Branch.create, ``WorkingTree.create_standalone``,
5461
Branch.initialize are now deprecated. Please see ``BzrDir.create_*`` for
5462
replacement API's. (Robert Collins)
5463
5464
* New BzrDir class represents the .bzr control directory and manages
5465
formatting issues. (Robert Collins)
5466
5467
* New repository.InterRepository class encapsulates Repository to
5468
Repository actions and allows for clean selection of optimised code
5469
paths. (Robert Collins)
5470
5471
* ``bzrlib.fetch.fetch`` and ``bzrlib.fetch.greedy_fetch`` are now
5472
deprecated, please use ``branch.fetch`` or ``repository.fetch``
5473
depending on your needs. (Robert Collins)
5474
5475
* deprecated methods now have a ``is_deprecated`` flag on them that can
5476
be checked, if you need to determine whether a given callable is
5477
deprecated at runtime. (Robert Collins)
5478
5479
* Progress bars are now nested - see
5480
``bzrlib.ui.ui_factory.nested_progress_bar``.
5481
(Robert Collins, Robey Pointer)
5482
5483
* New API call ``get_format_description()`` for each type of format.
5484
(Olaf Conradi)
5485
5486
* Changed ``branch.set_parent()`` to accept None to remove parent.
5487
(Olaf Conradi)
5488
5489
* Deprecated BzrError AmbiguousBase. (Olaf Conradi)
5490
5491
* WorkingTree.branch is now a read only property. (Robert Collins)
5492
5493
* bzrlib.ui.text.TextUIFactory now accepts a ``bar_type`` parameter which
5494
can be None or a factory that will create a progress bar. This is
5495
useful for testing or for overriding the bzrlib.progress heuristic.
5496
(Robert Collins)
5497
5498
* New API method ``get_physical_lock_status()`` to query locks present on a
5499
transport. (Olaf Conradi)
5500
5501
* Repository.reconcile now takes a thorough keyword parameter to allow
5502
requesting an indepth reconciliation, rather than just a data-loss
5503
check. (Robert Collins)
5504
5505
* ``bzrlib.ui.ui_factory protocol`` now supports ``get_boolean`` to prompt
5506
the user for yes/no style input. (Robert Collins)
5507
5508
TESTING:
5509
5510
* SFTP tests now shortcut the SSH negotiation, reducing test overhead
5511
for testing SFTP protocol support. (Robey Pointer)
5512
5513
* Branch formats are now tested once per implementation (see ``bzrlib.
5514
tests.branch_implementations``. This is analagous to the transport
5515
interface tests, and has been followed up with working tree,
5516
repository and BzrDir tests. (Robert Collins)
5517
5518
* New test base class TestCaseWithTransport provides a transport aware
5519
test environment, useful for testing any transport-interface using
5520
code. The test suite option --transport controls the transport used
5521
by this class (when its not being used as part of implementation
5522
contract testing). (Robert Collins)
5523
5524
* Close logging handler on disabling the test log. This will remove the
5525
handler from the internal list inside python's logging module,
5526
preventing shutdown from closing it twice. (Olaf Conradi)
5527
5528
* Move test case for uncommit to blackbox tests. (Olaf Conradi)
5529
5530
* ``run_bzr`` and ``run_bzr_captured`` now accept a 'stdin="foo"'
5531
parameter which will provide String("foo") to the command as its stdin.
5532

bzr 0.7 2006-01-09
5534
------------------
5535
5536
CHANGES:
5537
5538
* .bzrignore is excluded from exports, on the grounds that it's a bzr
5539
internal-use file and may not be wanted. (Jamie Wilkinson)
5540
5541
* The "bzr directories" command were removed in favor of the new
5542
--kind option to the "bzr inventory" command. To list all
5543
versioned directories, now use "bzr inventory --kind directory".
5544
(Johan Rydberg)
5545
5546
* Under Windows configuration directory is now ``%APPDATA%\bazaar\2.0``
5547
by default. (John Arbash Meinel)
5548
5549
* The parent of Bzr configuration directory can be set by ``BZR_HOME``
5550
environment variable. Now the path for it is searched in ``BZR_HOME``,
5551
then in HOME. Under Windows the order is: ``BZR_HOME``, ``APPDATA``
5552
(usually points to ``C:\Documents and Settings\User Name\Application Data``),
5553
``HOME``. (John Arbash Meinel)
5554
5555
* Plugins with the same name in different directories in the bzr plugin
5556
path are no longer loaded: only the first successfully loaded one is
5557
used. (Robert Collins)
5558
5559
* Use systems' external ssh command to open connections if possible.
5560
This gives better integration with user settings such as ProxyCommand.
5561
(James Henstridge)
5562
5563
* Permissions on files underneath .bzr/ are inherited from the .bzr
5564
directory. So for a shared repository, simply doing 'chmod -R g+w .bzr/'
5565
will mean that future file will be created with group write permissions.
5566
5567
* configure.in and config.guess are no longer in the builtin default
5568
ignore list.
5569
5570
* '.sw[nop]' pattern ignored, to ignore vim swap files for nameless
5571
files. (John Arbash Meinel, Martin Pool)
5572
5573
IMPROVEMENTS:
5574
5575
* "bzr INIT dir" now initializes the specified directory, and creates
5576
it if it does not exist. (John Arbash Meinel)
5577
5578
* New remerge command (Aaron Bentley)
5579
5580
* Better zsh completion script. (Steve Borho)
5581
5582
* 'bzr diff' now returns 1 when there are changes in the working
5583
tree. (Robert Collins)
5584
5585
* 'bzr push' now exists and can push changes to a remote location.
5586
This uses the transport infrastructure, and can store the remote
5587
location in the ~/.bazaar/branches.conf configuration file.
5588
(Robert Collins)
5589
5590
* Test directories are only kept if the test fails and the user requests
5591
that they be kept.
5592
5593
* Tweaks to short log printing
5594
5595
* Added branch nicks, new nick command, printing them in log output.
5596
(Aaron Bentley)
5597
5598
* If ``$BZR_PDB`` is set, pop into the debugger when an uncaught exception
5599
occurs. (Martin Pool)
5600
5601
* Accept 'bzr resolved' (an alias for 'bzr resolve'), as this is
5602
the same as Subversion. (Martin Pool)
5603
5604
* New ftp transport support (on ftplib), for ftp:// and aftp://
5605
URLs. (Daniel Silverstone)
5606
5607
* Commit editor temporary files now start with ``bzr_log.``, to allow
5608
text editors to match the file name and set up appropriate modes or
5609
settings. (Magnus Therning)
5610
5611
* Improved performance when integrating changes from a remote weave.
5612
(Goffredo Baroncelli)
5613
5614
* Sftp will attempt to cache the connection, so it is more likely that
5615
a connection will be reused, rather than requiring multiple password
5616
requests.
5617
5618
* bzr revno now takes an optional argument indicating the branch whose
5619
revno should be printed. (Michael Ellerman)
5620
5621
* bzr cat defaults to printing the last version of the file.
5622
(Matthieu Moy, #3632)
5623
5624
* New global option 'bzr --lsprof COMMAND' runs bzr under the lsprof
5625
profiler. (Denys Duchier)
5626
5627
* Faster commits by reading only the headers of affected weave files.
5628
(Denys Duchier)
5629
5630
* 'bzr add' now takes a --dry-run parameter which shows you what would be
5631
added, but doesn't actually add anything. (Michael Ellerman)
5632
5633
* 'bzr add' now lists how many files were ignored per glob. add --verbose
5634
lists the specific files. (Aaron Bentley)
5635
5636
* 'bzr missing' now supports displaying changes in diverged trees and can
5637
be limited to show what either end of the comparison is missing.
5638
(Aaron Bently, with a little prompting from Daniel Silverstone)
5639
5640
BUG FIXES:
5641
5642
* SFTP can walk up to the root path without index errors. (Robert Collins)
5643
5644
* Fix bugs in running bzr with 'python -O'. (Martin Pool)
5645
5646
* Error when run with -OO
5647
5648
* Fix bug in reporting http errors that don't have an http error code.
5649
(Martin Pool)
5650
5651
* Handle more cases of pipe errors in display commands
5652
5653
* Change status to 3 for all errors
5654
5655
* Files that are added and unlinked before committing are completely
5656
ignored by diff and status
5657
5658
* Stores with some compressed texts and some uncompressed texts are now
5659
able to be used. (John A Meinel)
5660
5661
* Fix for bzr pull failing sometimes under windows
5662
5663
* Fix for sftp transport under windows when using interactive auth
5664
5665
* Show files which are both renamed and modified as such in 'bzr
5666
status' output. (Daniel Silverstone, #4503)
5667
5668
* Make annotate cope better with revisions committed without a valid
5669
email address. (Marien Zwart)
5670
5671
* Fix representation of tab characters in commit messages.
5672
(Harald Meland)
5673
5674
* List of plugin directories in ``BZR_PLUGIN_PATH`` environment variable is
5675
now parsed properly under Windows. (Alexander Belchenko)
5676
5677
* Show number of revisions pushed/pulled/merged. (Robey Pointer)
5678
5679
* Keep a cached copy of the basis inventory to speed up operations
5680
that need to refer to it. (Johan Rydberg, Martin Pool)
5681
5682
* Fix bugs in bzr status display of non-ascii characters.
5683
(Martin Pool)
5684
5685
* Remove Makefile.in from default ignore list.
5686
(Tollef Fog Heen, Martin Pool, #6413)
5687
5688
* Fix failure in 'bzr added'. (Nathan McCallum, Martin Pool)
5689
5690
TESTING:
5691
5692
* Fix selftest asking for passwords when there are no SFTP keys.
5693
(Robey Pointer, Jelmer Vernooij)
5694
5695
* Fix selftest run with 'python -O'. (Martin Pool)
5696
5697
* Fix HTTP tests under Windows. (John Arbash Meinel)
5698
5699
* Make tests work even if HOME is not set (Aaron Bentley)
5700
5701
* Updated ``build_tree`` to use fixed line-endings for tests which read
5702
the file cotents and compare. Make some tests use this to pass under
5703
Windows. (John Arbash Meinel)
5704
5705
* Skip stat and symlink tests under Windows. (Alexander Belchenko)
5706
5707
* Delay in selftest/testhashcash is now issued under win32 and Cygwin.
5708
(John Arbash Meinel)
5709
5710
* Use terminal width to align verbose test output. (Martin Pool)
5711
5712
* Blackbox tests are maintained within the bzrlib.tests.blackbox directory.
5713
If adding a new test script please add that to
5714
``bzrlib.tests.blackbox.__init__``. (Robert Collins)
5715
5716
* Much better error message if one of the test suites can't be
5717
imported. (Martin Pool)
5718
5719
* Make check now runs the test suite twice - once with the default locale,
5720
and once with all locales forced to C, to expose bugs. This is not
5721
trivially done within python, so for now its only triggered by running
5722
Make check. Integrators and packagers who wish to check for full
5723
platform support should run 'make check' to test the source.
5724
(Robert Collins)
5725
5726
* Tests can now run TestSkipped if they can't execute for any reason.
5727
(Martin Pool) (NB: TestSkipped should only be raised for correctable
5728
reasons - see the wiki spec ImprovingBzrTestSuite).
5729
5730
* Test sftp with relative, absolute-in-homedir and absolute-not-in-homedir
5731
paths for the transport tests. Introduce blackbox remote sftp tests that
5732
test the same permutations. (Robert Collins, Robey Pointer)
5733
5734
* Transport implementation tests are now independent of the local file
5735
system, which allows tests for esoteric transports, and for features
5736
not available in the local file system. They also repeat for variations
5737
on the URL scheme that can introduce issues in the transport code,
5738
see bzrlib.transport.TransportTestProviderAdapter() for this.
5739
(Robert Collins).
5740
5741
* ``TestCase.build_tree`` uses the transport interface to build trees,
5742
pass in a transport parameter to give it an existing connection.
5743
(Robert Collins).
5744
5745
INTERNALS:
5746
5747
* WorkingTree.pull has been split across Branch and WorkingTree,
5748
to allow Branch only pulls. (Robert Collins)
5749
5750
* ``commands.display_command`` now returns the result of the decorated
5751
function. (Robert Collins)
5752
5753
* LocationConfig now has a ``set_user_option(key, value)`` call to save
5754
a setting in its matching location section (a new one is created
5755
if needed). (Robert Collins)
5756
5757
* Branch has two new methods, ``get_push_location`` and
5758
``set_push_location`` to respectively, get and set the push location.
5759
(Robert Collins)
5760
5761
* ``commands.register_command`` now takes an optional flag to signal that
5762
the registrant is planning to decorate an existing command. When
5763
given multiple plugins registering a command is not an error, and
5764
the original command class (whether built in or a plugin based one) is
5765
returned to the caller. There is a new error 'MustUseDecorated' for
5766
signalling when a wrapping command should switch to the original
5767
version. (Robert Collins)
5768
5769
* Some option parsing errors will raise 'BzrOptionError', allowing
5770
granular detection for decorating commands. (Robert Collins).
5771
5772
* ``Branch.read_working_inventory`` has moved to
5773
``WorkingTree.read_working_inventory``. This necessitated changes to
5774
``Branch.get_root_id``, and a move of ``Branch.set_inventory`` to
5775
WorkingTree as well. To make it clear that a WorkingTree cannot always
5776
be obtained ``Branch.working_tree()`` will raise
5777
``errors.NoWorkingTree`` if one cannot be obtained. (Robert Collins)
5778
5779
* All pending merges operations from Branch are now on WorkingTree.
5780
(Robert Collins)
5781
5782
* The follow operations from Branch have moved to WorkingTree::
5783
5784
add()
5785
commit()
5786
move()
5787
rename_one()
5788
unknowns()
5789
5790
(Robert Collins)
5791
5792
* ``bzrlib.add.smart_add_branch`` is now ``smart_add_tree``. (Robert Collins)
5793
5794
* New "rio" serialization format, similar to rfc-822. (Martin Pool)
5795
5796
* Rename selftests to ``bzrlib.tests.test_foo``. (John A Meinel, Martin
5797
Pool)
5798
5799
* ``bzrlib.plugin.all_plugins`` has been changed from an attribute to a
5800
query method. (Robert Collins)
5801
5802
* New options to read only the table-of-contents of a weave.
5803
(Denys Duchier)
5804
5805
* Raise NoSuchFile when someone tries to add a non-existant file.
5806
(Michael Ellerman)
5807
5808
* Simplify handling of DivergedBranches in ``cmd_pull()``.
5809
(Michael Ellerman)
5810
5811
* Branch.controlfile* logic has moved to lockablefiles.LockableFiles, which
5812
is exposed as ``Branch().control_files``. Also this has been altered with the
5813
controlfile pre/suffix replaced by simple method names like 'get' and
5814
'put'. (Aaron Bentley, Robert Collins).
5815
5816
* Deprecated functions and methods can now be marked as such using the
5817
``bzrlib.symbol_versioning`` module. Marked method have their docstring
5818
updated and will issue a DeprecationWarning using the warnings module
5819
when they are used. (Robert Collins)
5820
5821
* ``bzrlib.osutils.safe_unicode`` now exists to provide parameter coercion
5822
for functions that need unicode strings. (Robert Collins)
5823
5824
bzr 0.6 2005-10-28
5825
------------------
5826
5827
IMPROVEMENTS:
5828
5829
* pull now takes --verbose to show you what revisions are added or removed
5830
(John A Meinel)
5831
5832
* merge now takes a --show-base option to include the base text in
5833
conflicts.
5834
(Aaron Bentley)
5835
5836
* The config files are now read using ConfigObj, so '=' should be used as
5837
a separator, not ':'.
5838
(Aaron Bentley)
5839
5840
* New 'bzr commit --strict' option refuses to commit if there are
5841
any unknown files in the tree. To commit, make sure all files are
5842
either ignored, added, or deleted. (Michael Ellerman)
5843
5844
* The config directory is now ~/.bazaar, and there is a single file
5845
~/.bazaar/bazaar.conf storing email, editor and other preferences.
5846
(Robert Collins)
5847
5848
* 'bzr add' no longer takes a --verbose option, and a --quiet option
5849
has been added that suppresses all output.
5850
5851
* Improved zsh completion support in contrib/zsh, from Clint
5852
Adams.
5853
5854
* Builtin 'bzr annotate' command, by Martin Pool with improvements from
5855
Goffredo Baroncelli.
5856
5857
* 'bzr check' now accepts -v for verbose reporting, and checks for
5858
ghosts in the branch. (Robert Collins)
5859
5860
* New command 're-sign' which will regenerate the gpg signature for
5861
a revision. (Robert Collins)
5862
5863
* If you set ``check_signatures=require`` for a path in
5864
``~/.bazaar/branches.conf`` then bzr will invoke your
5865
``gpg_signing_command`` (defaults to gpg) and record a digital signature
5866
of your commit. (Robert Collins)
5867
5868
* New sftp transport, based on Paramiko. (Robey Pointer)
5869
5870
* 'bzr pull' now accepts '--clobber' which will discard local changes
5871
and make this branch identical to the source branch. (Robert Collins)
5872
5873
* Just give a quieter warning if a plugin can't be loaded, and
5874
put the details in .bzr.log. (Martin Pool)
5875
5876
* 'bzr branch' will now set the branch-name to the last component of the
5877
output directory, if one was supplied.
5878
5879
* If the option ``post_commit`` is set to one (or more) python function
5880
names (must be in the bzrlib namespace), then they will be invoked
5881
after the commit has completed, with the branch and ``revision_id`` as
5882
parameters. (Robert Collins)
5883
5884
* Merge now has a retcode of 1 when conflicts occur. (Robert Collins)
5885
5886
* --merge-type weave is now supported for file contents. Tree-shape
5887
changes are still three-way based. (Martin Pool, Aaron Bentley)
5888
5889
* 'bzr check' allows the first revision on revision-history to have
5890
parents - something that is expected for cheap checkouts, and occurs
5891
when conversions from baz do not have all history. (Robert Collins).
5892
5893
* 'bzr merge' can now graft unrelated trees together, if your specify
5894
0 as a base. (Aaron Bentley)
5895
5896
* 'bzr commit branch' and 'bzr commit branch/file1 branch/file2' now work
5897
(Aaron Bentley)
5898
5899
* Add '.sconsign*' to default ignore list. (Alexander Belchenko)
5900
5901
* 'bzr merge --reprocess' minimizes conflicts
5902
5903
TESTING:
5904
5905
* The 'bzr selftest --pattern' option for has been removed, now
5906
test specifiers on the command line can be simple strings, or
5907
regexps, or both. (Robert Collins)
5908
5909
* Passing -v to selftest will now show the time each test took to
5910
complete, which will aid in analysing performance regressions and
5911
related questions. (Robert Collins)
5912
5913
* 'bzr selftest' runs all tests, even if one fails, unless '--one'
5914
is given. (Martin Pool)
5915
5916
* There is a new method for TestCaseInTempDir, assertFileEqual, which
5917
will check that a given content is equal to the content of the named
5918
file. (Robert Collins)
5919
5920
* Fix test suite's habit of leaving many temporary log files in $TMPDIR.
5921
(Martin Pool)
5922
5923
INTERNALS:
5924
5925
* New 'testament' command and concept for making gpg-signatures
5926
of revisions that are not tied to a particular internal
5927
representation. (Martin Pool).
5928
5929
* Per-revision properties ('revprops') as key-value associated
5930
strings on each revision created when the revision is committed.
5931
Intended mainly for the use of external tools. (Martin Pool).
5932
5933
* Config options have moved from bzrlib.osutils to bzrlib.config.
5934
(Robert Collins)
5935
5936
* Improved command line option definitions allowing explanations
5937
for individual options, among other things. Contributed by
5938
Magnus Therning.
5939
5940
* Config options have moved from bzrlib.osutils to bzrlib.config.
5941
Configuration is now done via the config.Config interface:
5942
Depending on whether you have a Branch, a Location or no information
5943
available, construct a ``*Config``, and use its ``signature_checking``,
5944
``username`` and ``user_email`` methods. (Robert Collins)
5945
5946
* Plugins are now loaded under bzrlib.plugins, not bzrlib.plugin, and
5947
they are made available for other plugins to use. You should not
5948
import other plugins during the ``__init__`` of your plugin though, as
5949
no ordering is guaranteed, and the plugins directory is not on the
5950
python path. (Robert Collins)
5951
5952
* Branch.relpath has been moved to WorkingTree.relpath. WorkingTree no
5953
no longer takes an inventory, rather it takes an option branch
5954
parameter, and if None is given will open the branch at basedir
5955
implicitly. (Robert Collins)
5956
5957
* Cleaner exception structure and error reporting. Suggested by
5958
Scott James Remnant. (Martin Pool)
5959
5960
* Branch.remove has been moved to WorkingTree, which has also gained
5961
``lock_read``, ``lock_write`` and ``unlock`` methods for convenience.
5962
(Robert Collins)
5963
5964
* Two decorators, ``needs_read_lock`` and ``needs_write_lock`` have been
5965
added to the branch module. Use these to cause a function to run in a
5966
read or write lock respectively. (Robert Collins)
5967
5968
* ``Branch.open_containing`` now returns a tuple (Branch, relative-path),
5969
which allows direct access to the common case of 'get me this file
5970
from its branch'. (Robert Collins)
5971
5972
* Transports can register using ``register_lazy_transport``, and they
5973
will be loaded when first used. (Martin Pool)
5974
5975
* 'pull' has been factored out of the command as ``WorkingTree.pull()``.
5976
A new option to WorkingTree.pull has been added, clobber, which will
5977
ignore diverged history and pull anyway.
5978
(Robert Collins)
5979
5980
* config.Config has a ``get_user_option`` call that accepts an option name.
5981
This will be looked up in branches.conf and bazaar.conf as normal.
5982
It is intended that this be used by plugins to support options -
5983
options of built in programs should have specific methods on the config.
5984
(Robert Collins)
5985
5986
* ``merge.merge_inner`` now has tempdir as an optional parameter.
5987
(Robert Collins)
5988
5989
* Tree.kind is not recorded at the top level of the hierarchy, as it was
5990
missing on EmptyTree, leading to a bug with merge on EmptyTrees.
5991
(Robert Collins)
5992
5993
* ``WorkingTree.__del__`` has been removed, it was non deterministic and not
5994
doing what it was intended to. See ``WorkingTree.__init__`` for a comment
5995
about future directions. (Robert Collins/Martin Pool)
5996
5997
* bzrlib.transport.http has been modified so that only 404 urllib errors
5998
are returned as NoSuchFile. Other exceptions will propogate as normal.
5999
This allows debuging of actual errors. (Robert Collins)
6000
6001
* bzrlib.transport.Transport now accepts *ONLY* url escaped relative paths
6002
to apis like 'put', 'get' and 'has'. This is to provide consistent
6003
behaviour - it operates on url's only. (Robert Collins)
6004
6005
* Transports can register using ``register_lazy_transport``, and they
6006
will be loaded when first used. (Martin Pool)
6007
6008
* ``merge_flex`` no longer calls ``conflict_handler.finalize()``, instead that
6009
is called by ``merge_inner``. This is so that the conflict count can be
6010
retrieved (and potentially manipulated) before returning to the caller
6011
of ``merge_inner``. Likewise 'merge' now returns the conflict count to the
6012
caller. (Robert Collins)
6013
6014
* ``revision.revision_graph`` can handle having only partial history for
6015
a revision - that is no revisions in the graph with no parents.
6016
(Robert Collins).
6017
6018
* New ``builtins.branch_files`` uses the standard ``file_list`` rules to
6019
produce a branch and a list of paths, relative to that branch
6020
(Aaron Bentley)
6021
6022
* New TestCase.addCleanup facility.
6023
6024
* New ``bzrlib.version_info`` tuple (similar to ``sys.version_info``),
6025
which can be used by programs importing bzrlib.
6026
6027
BUG FIXES:
6028
6029
* Better handling of branches in directories with non-ascii names.
6030
(Joel Rosdahl, Panagiotis Papadakos)
6031
6032
* Upgrades of trees with no commits will not fail due to accessing
6033
[-1] in the revision-history. (Andres Salomon)

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

6507
6508
* Better help messages for many commands.
6509
6510

6511
this is called trace messages are just discarded.
6512

6514
command touching-revisions trace the changes to a given file.

6532
---------------------
6533
6534
ENHANCEMENTS:
6535
6536
* 'bzr diff' optionally takes a list of files to diff. Still a bit
6537
basic. Patch from QuantumG.
6538
6539
* More default ignore patterns.
6540
6541
* New 'bzr log --verbose' shows a list of files changed in the
6542
changeset. Patch from Sebastian Cote.
6543
6544
* Roll over ~/.bzr.log if it gets too large.
6545
6546
* Command abbreviations 'ci', 'st', 'stat', '?' based on a patch
6547
by Jason Diamon.
6548
6549

6550
6551
6552
CHANGES:
6553
6554
* User email is determined by looking at $BZREMAIL or ~/.bzr.email
6555
or $EMAIL. All are decoded by the locale preferred encoding.
6556
If none of these are present user@hostname is used. The host's
6557
fully-qualified name is not used because that tends to fail when
6558
there are DNS problems.
6559
6560
* New 'bzr whoami' command instead of username user-email.
6561
6562
6563

6570
trailing newlines properly.
6571
6572
6573
INTERNAL:
6574
6575
* Allow docstrings for help to be in PEP0257 format. Patch from
6576
Matt Brubeck.
6577
6578
* More tests in test.sh.
6579
6580
* Write profile data to a temporary file not into working
6581
directory and delete it when done.
6582
6583
* Smaller .bzr.log with process ids.
6584
6585
6586
PORTABILITY:
6587

6615

* .bzr.log is placed in $HOME (not pwd) and is always written in
6618
UTF-8. (Probably not a completely good long-term solution, but
6619
will do for now.)
6620
6621
PORTABILITY:
6622
6623
* Workaround for difflib bug in Python 2.3 that causes an
6624
exception when comparing empty files. Reported by Erik Toubro
6625
Nielsen.

6656

6657
6658
* Reinstate the 'bzr check' command to check invariants of the
6659
branch.
6660
6661
* New 'ignored' command lists which files are ignored and why;
6662
'deleted' lists files deleted in the current working tree.
6663
6664
* Performance improvements.
6665
6666
