IN DEVELOPMENT
8
--------------
9
10
CHANGES:
11
12
* ``bzr export`` can now export a subdirectory of a project.
13
(Robert Collins)
14
15
* ``bzr rm`` will now scan for files that are missing and remove just
16
them automatically, much as ``bzr add`` scans for new files that
17
are not ignored and adds them automatically. (Robert Collins)
18
19
IMPROVEMENTS:
20
21
* ``bzr init`` and ``bzr init-repo`` will now print out the same as
22
``bzr info`` if it completed successfully.
23
(Marius Kruger)
24
25
* ``bzr uncommit`` logs the old tip revision id, and displays how to
26
restore the branch to that tip using ``bzr pull``. This allows you
27
to recover if you realize you uncommitted the wrong thing.
28
(John Arbash Meinel)
29
30
BUG FIXES:
31
32
* ``bzr rm`` is now aliased to ``bzr del`` for the convenience of svn
33
users. (Robert Collins, #205416)
34
35
* ``WorkingTree4`` trees will now correctly report missing-and-new
36
paths in the output of ``iter_changes``. (Robert Collins)
37
38
API CHANGES:
39
40
* Exporters now take 4 parameters. (Robert Collins)
41
42
* ``Tree.iter_changes`` will now return False for the content change
43
field when a file is missing in the basis tree and not present in
44
the target tree. Previously it returned True unconditionally.
45
(Robert Collins)
46
47
TESTING:
48
49
* ``addCleanup`` now takes ``*arguments`` and ``**keyword_arguments``
50
which are then passed to the cleanup callable as it is run. In
51
addition, addCleanup no longer requires that the callables passed to
52
it be unique. (Jonathan Lange)
53
54
INTERNALS:
55
56
* ``bzrlib.diff.DiffTree.show_diff`` now skips changes where the kind
57
is unknown in both source and target.
58
(Robert Collins, Aaron Bentley)
59
60
61
bzr 1.6rc3 2008-08-14
62
---------------------
63
64
CHANGES:
65
66
* Disable reading ``.bzrrules`` as a per-branch rule preferences
67
file. The feature was not quite ready for a full release.
68
(Robert Collins)
69
70
IMPROVEMENTS:
71
72
* Update the windows installer to bundle TortoiseBzr and ``qbzr``
73
into the standalone installer. This will be the first official
74
windows release that installs Tortoise by default.
75
(Mark Hammond)
76
77
BUG FIXES:
78
79
* Fix a regression in ``bzr+http`` support. There was a missing
80
function (``_read_line``) that needed to be carried over from
81
``bzr+ssh`` support. (Andrew Bennetts)
82
83
* ``GraphIndex`` objects will internally read an entire index if more
84
than 1/20th of their keyspace is requested in a single operation.
85
This largely mitigates a performance regression in ``bzr log FILE``
86
and completely corrects the performance regression in ``bzr log``.
87
The regression was caused by removing an accomodation which had been
88
supporting the index format in use. A newer index format is in
89
development which is substantially faster. (Robert Collins)
90
91
92
bzr 1.6rc2 2008-08-13
93
---------------------
94
95
This release candidate has a few minor bug fixes, and some regression
96
fixes for Windows.
97
98
BUG FIXES:
99
100
* ``bzr upgrade`` on remote branches accessed via bzr:// and
101
bzr+ssh:// now works. (Andrew Bennetts)
102
103
* Change the ``get_format_description()`` strings for
104
``RepositoryFormatKnitPack5`` et al to be single line messages.
105
(Aaron Bentley)
106
107
* Fix for a regression on Win32 where we would try to call
108
``os.listdir()`` on a file and not catch the exception properly.
109
(Windows raises a different exception.) This would manifest in
110
places like ``bzr rm file`` or ``bzr switch``.
111
(Mark Hammond, John Arbash Meinel)
112
113
* ``Inventory.copy()`` was failing to set the revision property for
114
the root entry. (Jelmer Vernooij)
115
116
* sftp transport: added missing ``FileExists`` case to
117
``_translate_io_exception`` (Christophe Troestler, #123475)
118
119
* The help for ``bzr ignored`` now suggests ``bzr ls --ignored`` for
120
scripting use. (Robert Collins, #3834)
121
122
* The default ``annotate`` logic will now always assign the
123
last-modified value of a line to one of the revisions that modified
124
it, rather than a merge revision. This would happen when both sides
125
claimed to have modified the line resulting in the same text. The
126
choice is arbitrary but stable, so merges in different directions
127
will get the same results. (John Arbash Meinel, #232188)
128
129
130
bzr 1.6rc1 2008-08-06
131
---------------------
132
133
This release candidate for bzr 1.6 solidifies the new branch stacking
134
feature. Bazaar now recommends that users upgrade all knit repositories,
135
because later formats are much faster. However, we plan to continue read/write and
136
upgrade support for knit repostories for the forseeable future. Several
137
other bugs and performance issues were fixed.
138
139
CHANGES:
140
141
* Knit format repositories are deprecated and bzr will now emit
142
warnings whenever it encounters one. Use ``bzr upgrade`` to upgrade
143
knit repositories to pack format. (Andrew Bennetts)
144
145
IMPROVEMENTS:
146
147
* ``bzr check`` can now be told which elements at a location it should
148
check. (Daniel Watkins)
149
150
* Commit now supports ``--exclude`` (or ``-x``) to exclude some files
151
from the commit. (Robert Collins, #3117)
152
153
* Fetching data between repositories that have the same model but no
154
optimised fetcher will not reserialise all the revisions, increasing
155
performance. (Robert Collins, John Arbash Meinel)
156
157
* Give a more specific error when target branch is not reachable.
158
(James Westby)
159
160
* Implemented a custom ``walkdirs_utf8`` implementation for win32.
161
This uses a pyrex extension to get direct access to the
162
``FindFirstFileW`` style apis, rather than using ``listdir`` +
163
``lstat``. Shows a very strong improvement in commands like
164
``status`` and ``diff`` which have to iterate the working tree.
165
Anywhere from 2x-6x faster depending on the size of the tree (bigger
166
trees, bigger benefit.) (John Arbash Meinel)
167
168
* New registry for log properties handles and the method in
169
LongLogFormatter to display the custom properties returned by the
170
registered handlers. (Guillermo Gonzalez, #162469)
171
172
BUG FIXES:
173
174
* Add more tests that stacking does not create deltas spanning
175
physical repository boundaries.
176
(Martin Pool, #252428)
177
178
* Better message about incompatible repositories.
179
(Martin Pool, #206258)
180
181
* ``bzr branch --stacked`` ensures the destination branch format can
182
support stacking, even if the origin does not.
183
(Martin Pool)
184
185
* ``bzr export`` no longer exports ``.bzrrules``.
186
(Ian Clatworthy)
187
188
* ``bzr serve --directory=/`` now correctly allows the whole
189
filesystem to be accessed on Windows, not just the root of the drive
190
that Python is running from.
191
(Adrian Wilkins, #240910)
192
193
* Deleting directories by hand before running ``bzr rm`` will not
194
cause subsequent errors in ``bzr st`` and ``bzr commit``.
195
(Robert Collins, #150438)
196
197
* Fix a test case that was failing if encoding wasn't UTF-8.
198
(John Arbash Meinel, #247585)
199
200
* Fix "no buffer space available" error when branching with the new
201
smart server protocol to or from Windows.
202
(Andrew Bennetts, #246180)
203
204
* Fixed problem in branching from smart server.
205
(#249256, Michael Hudson, Martin Pool)
206
207
* Handle a file turning in to a directory in TreeTransform.
208
(James Westby, #248448)
209
210
API CHANGES:
211
212
* ``MutableTree.commit`` has an extra optional keywork parameter
213
``exclude`` that will be unconditionally supplied by the command
214
line UI - plugins that add tree formats may need an update.
215
(Robert Collins)
216
217
* The API minimum version for plugin compatibility has been raised to
218
1.6 - there are significant changes throughout the code base.
219
(Robert Collins)
220
221
* The generic fetch code now uses three attributes on Repository objects
222
to control fetch. The streams requested are controlled via :
223
``_fetch_order`` and ``_fetch_uses_deltas``. Setting these
224
appropriately allows different repository implementations to recieve
225
data in their optimial form. If the ``_fetch_reconcile`` is set then
226
a reconcile operation is triggered at the end of the fetch.
227
(Robert Collins)
228
229
* The ``put_on_disk`` and ``get_tar_item`` methods in
230
``InventoryEntry`` were deprecated. (Ian Clatworthy)
231
232
* ``Repository.is_shared`` doesn't take a read lock. It didn't
233
need one in the first place (nobody cached the value, and
234
``RemoteRepository`` wasn't taking one either). This saves a round
235
trip when probing Pack repositories, as they read the ``pack-names``
236
file when locked. And during probe, locking the repo isn't very
237
useful. (John Arbash Meinel)
238
239
INTERNALS:
240
241
* ``bzrlib.branchbuilder.BranchBuilder`` is now much more capable of
242
putting together a real history without having to create a full
243
WorkingTree. It is recommended that tests that are not directly
244
testing the WorkingTree use BranchBuilder instead. See
245
``BranchBuilder.build_snapshot`` or
246
``TestCaseWithMemoryTree.make_branch_builder``. (John Arbash Meinel)
247
248
* ``bzrlib.builtins.internal_tree_files`` broken into two giving a new
249
helper ``safe_relpath_files`` - used by the new ``exclude``
250
parameter to commit. (Robert Collins)
251
252
* Make it easier to introduce new WorkingTree formats.
253
(Ian Clatworthy)
254
255
* The code for exporting trees was refactored not to use the
256
deprecated ``InventoryEntry`` methods. (Ian Clatworthy)
257
258
* RuleSearchers return () instead of [] now when there are no matches.
259
(Ian Clatworthy)
260
261
262
bzr 1.6beta3 2008-07-17
263
-----------------------
264
265
This release adds a new 'stacked branches' feature allowing branches to
266
share storage without being in the same repository or on the same machine.
267
(See the user guide for more details.) It also adds a new hook, improved
268
weaves, aliases for related locations, faster bzr+ssh push, and several
269
bug fixes.
270
271
FEATURES:
272
273
* New ``pre_change_branch_tip`` hook that is called before the
274
branch tip is moved, while the branch is write-locked. See the User
275
Reference for signature details. (Andrew Bennetts)
276
277
* Rule-based preferences can now be defined for selected files in
278
selected branches, allowing commands and plugins to provide
279
custom behaviour for files matching defined patterns.
280
See ``Rule-based preferences`` (part of ``Configuring Bazaar``)
281
in the User Guide and ``bzr help rules`` for more information.
282
(Ian Clatworthy)
283
284
* Sites may suggest a branch to stack new branches on. (Aaron Bentley)
285
286
* Stacked branches are now supported. See ``bzr help branch`` and
287
``bzr help push``. Branches must be in the ``development1`` format
288
to stack, though the stacked-on branch can be of any format.
289
(Robert Collins)
290
291
IMPROVEMENTS:
292
293
* ``bzr export --format=tgz --root=NAME -`` to export a gzipped tarball
294
to stdout; also ``tar`` and ``tbz2``.
295
(Martin Pool)
296
297
* ``bzr (re)merge --weave`` will now use a standard Weave algorithm,
298
rather than the annotation-based merge it was using. It does so by
299
building up a Weave of the important texts, without needing to build
300
the full ancestry. (John Arbash Meinel, #238895)
301
302
* ``bzr send`` documents and better supports ``emacsclient`` (proper
303
escaping of mail headers and handling of the MUA Mew).
304
(Christophe Troestler)
305
306
* Remembered locations can be specified by aliases, e.g. :parent, :public,
307
:submit. (Aaron Bentley)
308
309
* The smart protocol now has improved support for setting branches'
310
revision info directly. This makes operations like push
311
faster. The new request method name is
312
``Branch.set_last_revision_ex``. (Andrew Bennetts)
313
314
BUG FIXES:
315
316
* Bazaar is now able to be a client to the web server of IIS 6 and 7.
317
The broken implementations of RFC822 in Python and RFC2046 in IIS
318
combined with boundary-line checking in Bazaar previously made this
319
impossible. (NB, IIS 5 does not suffer from this problem).
320
(Adrian Wilkins, #247585)
321
322
* ``bzr log --long`` with a ghost in your mainline now handles that
323
ghost properly. (John Arbash Meinel, #243536)
324
325
* ``check`` handles the split-up .bzr layout correctly, so no longer
326
requires a branch to be present.
327
(Daniel Watkins, #64783)
328
329
* Clearer message about how to set the PYTHONPATH if bzrlib can't be
330
loaded.
331
(Martin Pool, #205230)
332
333
* Errors about missing libraries are now shown without a traceback,
334
and with a suggestion to install the library. The full traceback is
335
still in ``.bzr.log`` and can be shown with ``-Derror``.
336
(Martin Pool, #240161)
337
338
* Fetch from a stacked branch copies all required data.
339
(Aaron Bentley, #248506)
340
341
* Handle urls such as ftp://user@host.com@www.host.com where the user
342
name contains an @.
343
(Neil Martinsen-Burrell, #228058)
344
345
* ``needs_read_lock`` and ``needs_write_lock`` now suppress an error during
346
``unlock`` if there was an error in the original function. This helps
347
most when there is a failure with a smart server action, since often the
348
connection closes and we cannot unlock.
349
(Andrew Bennetts, John Arbash Meinel, #125784)
350
351
* Obsolete hidden command ``bzr fetch`` removed.
352
(Martin Pool, #172870)
353
354
* Raise the correct exception when doing ``-rbefore:0`` or ``-c0``.
355
(John Arbash Meinel, #239933)
356
357
* You can now compare file revisions in Windows diff programs from
358
Cygwin Bazaar.
359
(Matt McClure, #209281)
360
361
* revision_history now tolerates mainline ghosts for Branch format 6.
362
(Aaron Bentley, #235055)
363
364
* Set locale from environment for third party libs.
365
(Martin von Gagern, #128496)
366
367
DOCUMENTATION:
368
369
* Added *Using stacked branches* to the User Guide.
370
(Ian Clatworthy)
371
372
* Updated developer documentation.
373
(Martin Pool)
374
375
TESTING:
376
377
* ``-Dmemory`` will cause /proc/PID/status to be catted before bzr
378
exits, allowing low-key analysis of peak memory use. (Robert Collins)
379
380
* ``TestCaseWithTransport.make_branch_and_tree`` tries harder to return
381
a tree with a ``branch`` attribute of the right format. This was
382
preventing some ``RemoteBranch`` tests from actually running with
383
``RemoteBranch`` instances. (Andrew Bennetts)
384
385
API CHANGES:
386
387
* Removed ``Repository.text_store``, ``control_store``, etc. Instead,
388
there are new attributes ``texts, inventories, revisions,
389
signatures``, each of which is a ``VersionedFiles``. See the
390
Repository docstring for more details.
391
(Robert Collins)
392
393
* ``Branch.pull`` now accepts an ``_override_hook_target`` optional
394
parameter. If you have a subclass of ``Branch`` that overrides
395
``pull`` then you should add this parameter. (Andrew Bennetts)
396
397
* ``bzrlib.check.check()`` has been deprecated in favour of the more
398
aptly-named ``bzrlib.check.check_branch()``.
399
(Daniel Watkins)
400
401
* ``Tree.print_file`` and ``Repository.print_file`` are deprecated.
402
These methods are bad APIs because they write directly to sys.stdout.
403
bzrlib does not use them internally, and there are no direct tests
404
for them. (Alexander Belchenko)
405
406
INTERNALS:
407
408
* ``cat`` command no longer uses ``Tree.print_file()`` internally.
409
(Alexander Belchenko)
410
411
* New class method ``BzrDir.open_containing_tree_branch_or_repository``
412
which eases the discovery of the tree, the branch and the repository
413
containing a given location.
414
(Daniel Watkins)
415
416
* New ``versionedfile.KeyMapper`` interface to abstract out the access to
417
underlying .knit/.kndx etc files in repositories with partitioned
418
storage. (Robert Collins)
419
420
* Obsolete developer-use command ``weave-join`` has been removed.
421
(Robert Collins)
422
423
* ``RemoteToOtherFetcher`` and ``get_data_stream_for_search`` removed,
424
to support new ``VersionedFiles`` layering.
425
(Robert Collins)
426
427
428
bzr 1.6beta2 2008-06-10
429
-----------------------
430
431
This release contains further progress towards our 1.6 goals of shallow
432
repositories, and contains a fix for some user-affecting bugs in the
433
repository layer. Building working trees during checkout and branch is
434
now faster.
435
436
BUG FIXES:
437
438
* Avoid KnitCorrupt error extracting inventories from some repositories.
439
(The data is not corrupt; an internal check is detecting a problem
440
reading from the repository.)
441
(Martin Pool, Andrew Bennetts, Robert Collins, #234748)
442
443
* ``bzr status`` was breaking if you merged the same revision twice.
444
(John Arbash Meinel, #235407)
445
446
* Fix infinite loop consuming 100% CPU when a connection is lost while
447
reading a response body via the smart protocol v1 or v2.
448
(Andrew Bennetts)
449
450
* Inserting a bundle which changes the contents of a file with no trailing
451
end of line, causing a knit snapshot in a 'knits' repository will no longer
452
cause KnitCorrupt. (Robert Collins)
453
454
* ``RemoteBranch.pull`` needs to return the ``self._real_branch``'s
455
pull result. It was instead just returning None, which breaks ``bzr
456
pull``. (John Arbash Meinel, #238149)
457
458
* Sanitize branch nick before using it as an attachment filename in
459
``bzr send``. (Lukáš Lalinský, #210218)
460
461
* Squash ``inv_entry.symlink_target`` to a plain string when
462
generating DirState details. This prevents from getting a
463
``UnicodeError`` when you have symlinks and non-ascii filenames.
464
(John Arbash Meinel, #135320)
465
466
IMPROVEMENTS:
467
468
* Added the 'alias' command to set/unset and display aliases. (Tim Penhey)
469
470
* ``added``, ``modified``, and ``unknowns`` behaviour made consistent (all three
471
now quote paths where required). Added ``--null`` option to ``added`` and
472
``modified`` (for null-separated unknowns, use ``ls --unknown --null``)
473
(Adrian Wilkins)
474
475
* Faster branching (1.09x) and lightweight checkouts (1.06x) on large trees.
476
(Ian Clatworthy, Aaron Bentley)
477
478
DOCUMENTATION:
479
480
* Added *Bazaar Zen* section to the User Guide. (Ian Clatworthy)
481
482
TESTING:
483
484
* Fix the test HTTPServer to be isolated from chdir calls made while it is
485
running, allowing it to be used in blackbox tests. (Robert Collins)
486
487
API CHANGES:
488
489
* ``WorkingTree.set_parent_(ids/trees)`` will now filter out revisions
490
which are in the ancestry of other revisions. So if you merge the same
491
tree twice, or merge an ancestor of an existing merge, it will only
492
record the newest. (If you merge a descendent, it will replace its
493
ancestor). (John Arbash Meinel, #235407)
494
495
* ``RepositoryPolicy.__init__`` now requires stack_on and stack_on_pwd,
496
through the derived classes do not. (Aaron Bentley)
497
498
INTERNALS:
499
500
* ``bzrlib.bzrdir.BzrDir.sprout`` now accepts ``stacked`` to control
501
creating stacked branches. (Robert Collins)
502
503
* Knit record serialisation is now stricter on what it will accept, to
504
guard against potential internal bugs, or broken input. (Robert Collins)

bzr 1.6beta1 2008-06-02
508
-----------------------
509
510
511
Commands that work on the revision history such as push, pull, missing,
512
uncommit and log are now substantially faster. This release adds a
513
translation of some of the user documentation into Spanish. (Contributions of
514
other translations would be very welcome.) Bazaar 1.6beta1 adds a new network
515
protocol which is used by default and which allows for more efficient transfers
516
and future extensions.
517
518
519
NOTES WHEN UPGRADING:
520
521
* There is a new version of the network protocol used for bzr://, bzr+ssh://
522
and bzr+http:// connections. This will allow more efficient requests and
523
responses, and more graceful fallback when a server is too old to
524
recognise a request from a more recent client. Bazaar 1.6 will
525
interoperate with 0.16 and later versions, but servers should be upgraded
526
when possible. Bazaar 1.6 no longer interoperates with 0.15 and earlier via
527
these protocols. Use alternatives like SFTP or upgrade those servers.
528
(Andrew Bennetts, #83935)
529
530
CHANGES:
531
532
* Deprecation warnings will not be suppressed when running ``bzr selftest``
533
so that developers can see if their code is using deprecated functions.
534
(John Arbash Meinel)
535
536
FEATURES:
537
538
* Adding ``-Derror`` will now display a traceback when a plugin fails to
539
load. (James Westby)
540
541
IMPROVEMENTS:
542
543
* ``bzr branch/push/pull -r XXX`` now have a helper function for finding
544
the revno of the new revision (``Graph.find_distance_to_null``). This
545
should make something like ``bzr branch -r -100`` in a shared, no-trees
546
repository much snappier. (John Arbash Meinel)
547
548
* ``bzr log --short -r X..Y`` no longer needs to access the full revision
549
history. This makes it noticeably faster when logging the last few
550
revisions. (John Arbash Meinel)
551
552
* ``bzr ls`` now accepts ``-V`` as an alias for ``--versioned``.
553
(Jerad Cramp, #165086)
554
555
* ``bzr missing`` uses the new ``Graph.find_unique_ancestors`` and
556
``Graph.find_differences`` to determine missing revisions without having
557
to search the whole ancestry. (John Arbash Meinel, #174625)
558
559
* ``bzr uncommit`` now uses partial history access, rather than always
560
extracting the full revision history for a branch. This makes it
561
resolve the appropriate revisions much faster (in testing it drops
562
uncommit from 1.5s => 0.4s). It also means ``bzr log --short`` is one
563
step closer to not using full revision history.
564
(John Arbash Meinel, #172649)
565
566
BUGFIXES:
567
568
* ``bzr merge --lca`` should handle when two revisions have no common
569
ancestor other than NULL_REVISION. (John Arbash Meinel, #235715)
570
571
* ``bzr status`` was breaking if you merged the same revision twice.
572
(John Arbash Meinel, #235407)
573
574
* ``bzr push`` with both ``--overwrite`` and ``-r NNN`` options no longer
575
fails. (Andrew Bennetts, #234229)
576
577
* Correctly track the base URL of a smart medium when using bzr+http://
578
URLs, which was causing spurious "No repository present" errors with
579
branches in shared repositories accessed over bzr+http.
580
(Andrew Bennetts, #230550)
581
582
* Define ``_remote_is_at_least_1_2`` on ``SmartClientMedium`` so that all
583
implementations have the attribute. Fixes 'PyCurlTransport' object has no
584
attribute '_remote_is_at_least_1_2' attribute errors.
585
(Andrew Bennetts, #220806)
586
587
* Failure to delete an obsolete pack file should just give a warning
588
message, not a fatal error. It may for example fail if the file is still
589
in use by another process.
590
(Martin Pool)
591
592
* Fix MemoryError during large fetches over HTTP by limiting the amount of
593
data we try to read per ``recv`` call. The problem was observed with
594
Windows and a proxy, but might affect other environments as well.
595
(Eric Holmberg, #215426)
596
597
* Handle old merge directives correctly in Merger.from_mergeable. Stricter
598
get_parent_map requirements exposed a latent bug here. (Aaron Bentley)
599
600
* Issue a warning and ignore passwords declared in authentication.conf when
601
used for an ssh scheme (sftp or bzr+ssh).
602
(Vincent Ladeuil, #203186)
603
604
* Make both http implementations raise appropriate exceptions on 403
605
Forbidden when POSTing smart requests.
606
(Vincent Ladeuil, #230223)
607
608
* Properly *title* header names in http requests instead of capitalizing
609
them.
610
(Vincent Ladeuil, #229076)
611
612
* The "Unable to obtain lock" error message now also suggests using
613
``bzr break-lock`` to fix it. (Martin Albisetti, #139202)
614
615
* Treat an encoding of '' as ascii; this can happen when bzr is run
616
under vim on Mac OS X.
617
(Neil Martinsen-Burrell)
618
619
* ``VersionedFile.make_mpdiffs()`` was raising an exception that wasn't in
620
scope. (Daniel Fischer #235687)
621
622
DOCUMENTATION:
623
624
* Added directory structure and started translation of docs in spanish.
625
(Martin Albisetti, Lucio Albenga)
626
627
* Incorporate feedback from Jelmer Vernooij and Neil Martinsen-Burrell
628
on the plugin and integration chapters of the User Guide.
629
(Ian Clatworthy)
630
631
* More Bazaar developer documentation about packaging and release process,
632
and about use of Python reprs.
633
(Martin Pool, Martin Albisetti)
634
635
* Updated Tortise strategy document. (Mark Hammond)
636
637
TESTING:
638
639
* ``bzrlib.tests.adapt_tests`` was broken and unused - it has been fixed.
640
(Robert Collins)
641
642
* Fix the test HTTPServer to be isolated from chdir calls made while it is
643
running, allowing it to be used in blackbox tests. (Robert Collins)
644
645
* New helper function for splitting test suites
646
``split_suite_by_condition``. (Robert Collins)
647
648
INTERNALS:
649
650
* ``Branch.missing_revisions`` has been deprecated. Similar functionality
651
can be obtained using ``bzrlib.missing.find_unmerged``. The api was
652
fairly broken, and the function was unused, so we are getting rid of it.
653
(John Arbash Meinel)
654
655
API CHANGES:
656
657
* ``Branch.abspath`` is deprecated; use the Tree or Transport
658
instead. (Martin Pool)
659
660
* ``Branch.update_revisions`` now takes an optional ``Graph``
661
object. This can be used by ``update_revisions`` when it is
662
checking ancestry, and allows callers to prefer request to go to a
663
local branch. (John Arbash Meinel)
664
665
* Branch, Repository, Tree and BzrDir should expose a Transport as an
666
attribute if they have one, rather than having it indirectly accessible
667
as ``.control_files._transport``. This doesn't add a requirement
668
to support a Transport in cases where it was not needed before;
669
it just simplifies the way it is reached. (Martin Pool)
670
671
* ``bzr missing --mine-only`` will return status code 0 if you have no
672
new revisions, but the remote does. Similarly for ``--theirs-only``.
673
The new code only checks one side, so it doesn't know if the other
674
side has changes. This seems more accurate with the request anyway.
675
It also changes the output to print '[This|Other] branch is up to
676
date.' rather than displaying nothing. (John Arbash Meinel)
677
678
* ``LockableFiles.put_utf8``, ``put_bytes`` and ``controlfilename``
679
are now deprecated in favor of using Transport operations.
680
(Martin Pool)
681
682
* Many methods on ``VersionedFile``, ``Repository`` and in
683
``bzrlib.revision`` deprecated before bzrlib 1.5 have been removed.
684
(Robert Collins)
685
686
* ``RevisionSpec.wants_revision_history`` can be set to False for a given
687
``RevisionSpec``. This will disable the existing behavior of passing in
688
the full revision history to ``self._match_on``. Useful for specs that
689
don't actually need access to the full history. (John Arbash Meinel)
690
691
* The constructors of ``SmartClientMedium`` and its subclasses now require a
692
``base`` parameter. ``SmartClientMedium`` implementations now also need
693
to provide a ``remote_path_from_transport`` method. (Andrew Bennetts)
694
695
* The default permissions for creating new files and directories
696
should now be obtained from ``BzrDir._get_file_mode()`` and
697
``_get_dir_mode()``, rather than from LockableFiles. The ``_set_file_mode``
698
and ``_set_dir_mode`` variables on LockableFiles which were advertised
699
as a way for plugins to control this are no longer consulted.
700
(Martin Pool)
701
702
* ``VersionedFile.join`` is deprecated. This method required local
703
instances of both versioned file objects and was thus hostile to being
704
used for streaming from a smart server. The new get_record_stream and
705
insert_record_stream are meant to efficiently replace this method.
706
(Robert Collins)
707
708
* ``WorkingTree.set_parent_(ids/trees)`` will now filter out revisions
709
which are in the ancestry of other revisions. So if you merge the same
710
tree twice, or merge an ancestor of an existing merge, it will only
711
record the newest. (If you merge a descendent, it will replace its
712
ancestor). (John Arbash Meinel, #235407)
713
714
* ``WorkingTreeFormat2.stub_initialize_remote`` is now private.
715

bzr 1.5 2008-05-16
719
------------------
720
721
This release of Bazaar includes several updates to the documentation, and fixes
722
to prepare for making rich root support the default format. Many bugs have been
723
squashed, including fixes to log, bzr+ssh inter-operation with older servers.
724
725
CHANGES:
726
727
* Suppress deprecation warnings when bzrlib is a 'final' release. This way
728
users of packaged software won't be bothered with DeprecationWarnings,
729
but developers and testers will still see them. (John Arbash Meinel)
730
731
DOCUMENTATION:
732
733
* Incorporate feedback from Jelmer Vernooij and Neil Martinsen-Burrell
734
on the plugin and integration chapters of the User Guide.

739
---------------------
740
741
NOTES WHEN UPGRADING:
742
743
CHANGES:
744
745
* Broader support of GNU Emacs mail clients. Set
746
``mail_client=emacsclient`` in your bazaar.conf and ``send`` will pop the
747
bundle in a mail buffer according to the value of ``mail-user-agent``
748
variable. (Xavier Maillard)
749
750
FEATURES:
751
752
IMPROVEMENTS:
753
754
* Diff now handles revision specs like "branch:" and "submit:" more
755
efficiently. (Aaron Bentley, #202928)
756
757
* More friendly error given when attempt to start the smart server
758
on an address already in use. (Andrea Corbellini, #200575)
759
760
* Pull completes much faster when there is nothing to pull.
761
(Aaron Bentley)
762
763
BUGFIXES:
764
765
* Authentication.conf can define sections without password.
766
(Vincent Ladeuil, #199440)
767
768
* Avoid muttering every time a child update does not cause a progress bar
769
update. (John Arbash Meinel, #213771)
770
771
* ``Branch.reconcile()`` is now implemented. This allows ``bzr reconcile``
772
to fix when a Branch has a non-canonical mainline history. ``bzr check``
773
also detects this condition. (John Arbash Meinel, #177855)
774
775
* ``bzr log -r ..X bzr://`` was failing, because it was getting a request
776
for ``revision_id=None`` which was not a string.
777
(John Arbash Meinel, #211661)
778
779
* ``bzr commit`` now works with Microsoft's FTP service.
780
(Andreas Deininger)
781
782
* Catch definitions outside sections in authentication.conf.
783
(Vincent Ladeuil, #217650)
784
785
* Conversion from non-rich-root to rich-root(-pack) updates inventory
786
sha1s, even when bundles are used. (Aaron Bentley, #181391)
787
788
* Conversion from non-rich-root to rich-root(-pack) works correctly even
789
though search keys are not topologically sorted. (Aaron Bentley)
790
791
* Conversion from non-rich-root to rich-root(-pack) works even when a
792
parent revision has a different root id. (Aaron Bentley, #177874)
793
794
* Disable strace testing until strace is fixed (see bug #103133) and emit a
795
warning when selftest ends to remind us of leaking tests.
796
(Vincent Ladeuil, #226769)
797
798
* Fetching all revisions from a repository does not cause pack collisions.
799
(Robert Collins, Aaron Bentley, #212908)
800
801
* Fix error about "attempt to add line-delta in non-delta knit".
802
(Andrew Bennetts, #217701)
803
804
* Pushing a branch in "dirstate" format (Branch5) over bzr+ssh would break
805
if the remote server was < version 1.2. This was due to a bug in the
806
RemoteRepository.get_parent_map() fallback code.
807
(John Arbash Meinel, #214894)
808
809
* Remove leftover code in ``bzr_branch`` that inappropriately creates
810
a ``branch-name`` file in the branch control directory.
811
(Martin Pool)
812
813
* Set SO_REUSEADDR on server sockets of ``bzr serve`` to avoid problems
814
rebinding the socket when starting the server a second time.
815
(John Arbash Meinel, Martin Pool, #164288)
816
817
* Severe performance degradation in fetching from knit repositories to
818
knits and packs due to parsing the entire revisions.kndx on every graph
819
walk iteration fixed by using the Repository.get_graph API. There was
820
another regression in knit => knit fetching which re-read the index for
821
every revision each side had in common.
822
(Robert Collins, John Arbash Meinel)
823
824
* When logging the changes to a particular file, there was a bug if there
825
were ghosts in the revision ancestry. (John Arbash Meinel, #209948)
826
827
* xs4all's ftp server returns a temporary error when trying to list an
828
empty directory, rather than returning an empty list. Adding a
829
workaround so that we don't get spurious failures.
830
(John Arbash Meinel, #215522)
831
832
DOCUMENTATION:
833
834
* Expanded the User Guide to include new chapters on popular plugins and
835
integrating Bazaar into your environment. The *Best practices* chapter
836
was renamed to *Miscellaneous topics* as suggested by community
837
feedback as well. (Ian Clatworthy)
838
839
* Document outlining strategies for TortoiseBzr. (Mark Hammond)
840
841
* Improved the documentation on hooks. (Ian Clatworthy)
842
843
* Update authentication docs regarding ssh agents.
844
(Vincent Ladeuil, #183705)
845
846
TESTING:
847
848
* Add ``thread_name_suffix`` parameter to SmartTCPServer_for_testing, to
849
make it easy to identify which test spawned a thread with an unhandled
850
exception. (Andrew Bennetts)
851
852
* New ``--debugflag``/``-E`` option to ``bzr selftest`` for setting
853
options for debugging tests, these are complementary to the the -D
854
options. The ``-Dselftest_debug`` global option has been replaced by the
855
``-E=allow_debug`` option for selftest. (Andrew Bennetts)
856
857
* Parameterised test ids are preserved correctly to aid diagnosis of test
858
failures. (Robert Collins, Andrew Bennetts)
859
860
* selftest now accepts --starting-with <id> to load only the tests whose id
861
starts with the one specified. This greatly speeds up running the test
862
suite on a limited set of tests and can be used to run the tests for a
863
single module, a single class or even a single test. (Vincent Ladeuil)
864
865
* The test suite modules have been modified to define load_tests() instead
866
of test_suite(). That speeds up selective loading (via --load-list)
867
significantly and provides many examples on how to migrate (grep for
868
load_tests). (Vincent Ladeuil)
869
870
INTERNALS:
871
872
* ``Hooks.install_hook`` is now deprecated in favour of
873
``Hooks.install_named_hook`` which adds a required ``name`` parameter, to
874
avoid having to call ``Hooks.name_hook``. (Daniel Watkins)
875
876
* Implement xml8 serializer. (Aaron Bentley)
877
878
* New form ``@deprecated_method(deprecated_in(1, 5, 0))`` for making
879
deprecation wrappers. (Martin Pool)
880
881
* ``Repository.revision_parents`` is now deprecated in favour of
882
``Repository.get_parent_map([revid])[revid]``. (Jelmer Vernooij)
883
884
* The Python ``assert`` statement is no longer used in Bazaar source, and
885
a test checks this. (Martin Pool)
886
887
API CHANGES:
888
889
* ``bzrlib.status.show_pending_merges`` requires the repository to be
890
locked by the caller. Callers should have been doing it anyway, but it
891
will now raise an exception if they do not. (John Arbash Meinel)
892
893
* Repository.get_data_stream, Repository.get_data_stream_for_search(),
894
Repository.get_deltas_for_revsions(), Repository.revision_trees(),
895
Repository.item_keys_introduced_by() no longer take read locks.
896
(Aaron Bentley)
897
898
* ``LockableFiles.get_utf8`` and ``.get`` are deprecated, as a start
899
towards removing LockableFiles and ``.control_files`` entirely.
900
(Martin Pool)
901
902
* Methods deprecated prior to 1.1 have been removed.

bzr 1.4 2008-04-28
907
------------------
908
909
This release of Bazaar includes handy improvements to the speed of log and
910
status, new options for several commands, improved documentation, and better
911
hooks, including initial code for server-side hooks. A number of bugs have
912
been fixed, particularly in interoperability between different formats or
913
different releases of Bazaar over there network. There's been substantial
914
internal work in both the repository and network code to enable new features
915
and faster performance.
916
917
BUG FIXES:
918
919
* Pushing a branch in "dirstate" format (Branch5) over bzr+ssh would break
920
if the remote server was < version 1.2. This was due to a bug in the
921
RemoteRepository.get_parent_map() fallback code.

bzr 1.4rc2 2008-04-21
926
---------------------
927
928
BUG FIXES:
929
930
* ``bzr log -r ..X bzr://`` was failing, because it was getting a request
931
for ``revision_id=None`` which was not a string.
932
(John Arbash Meinel, #211661)
933
934
* Fixed a bug in handling ghost revisions when logging changes in a
935
particular file. (John Arbash Meinel, #209948)
936
937
* Fix error about "attempt to add line-delta in non-delta knit".
938
(Andrew Bennetts, #205156)
939
940
* Fixed performance degradation in fetching from knit repositories to
941
knits and packs due to parsing the entire revisions.kndx on every graph
942
walk iteration fixed by using the Repository.get_graph API. There was
943
another regression in knit => knit fetching which re-read the index for
944
every revision each side had in common.

bzr 1.4rc1 2008-04-11
949
---------------------
950
951
CHANGES:
952
953
* bzr main script cannot be imported (Benjamin Peterson)
954
955
* On Linux bzr additionally looks for plugins in arch-independent site
956
directory. (Toshio Kuratomi)
957
958
* The ``set_rh`` branch hook is now deprecated. Please migrate
959
any plugins using this hook to use an alternative, e.g.
960
``post_change_branch_tip``. (Ian Clatworthy)
961
962
* When a plugin cannot be loaded as the file path is not a valid
963
python module name bzr will now strip a ``bzr_`` prefix from the
964
front of the suggested name, as many plugins (e.g. bzr-svn)
965
want to be installed without this prefix. It is a common mistake
966
to have a folder named "bzr-svn" for that plugin, especially
967
as this is what bzr branch lp:bzr-svn will give you. (James Westby,
968
Andrew Cowie)
969
970
* UniqueIntegerBugTracker now appends bug-ids instead of joining
971
them to the base URL. Plugins that register bug trackers may
972
need a trailing / added to the base URL if one is not already there.
973
(James Wesby, Andrew Cowie)
974
975
FEATURES:
976
977
* Added start_commit hook for mutable trees. (Jelmer Vernooij, #186422)
978
979
* ``status`` now accepts ``--no-pending`` to show the status without
980
listing pending merges, which speeds up the command a lot on large
981
histories. (James Westby, #202830)
982
983
* New ``post_change_branch_tip`` hook that is called after the
984
branch tip is moved but while the branch is still write-locked.
985
See the User Reference for signature details.
986
(Ian Clatworthy, James Henstridge)
987
988
* Reconfigure can convert a branch to be standalone or to use a shared
989
repository. (Aaron Bentley)
990
991
IMPROVEMENTS:
992
993
* The smart protocol now has support for setting branches' revision info
994
directly. This should make operations like push slightly faster, and is a
995
step towards server-side hooks. The new request method name is
996
``Branch.set_last_revision_info``. (Andrew Bennetts)
997
998
* ``bzr commit --fixes`` now recognises "gnome" as a tag by default.
999
(James Westby, Andrew Cowie)
1000
1001
* ``bzr switch`` will attempt to find branches to switch to relative to the
1002
current branch. E.g. ``bzr switch branchname`` will look for
1003
``current_branch/../branchname``. (Robert Collins, Jelmer Vernooij,
1004
Wouter van Heyst)
1005
1006
* Diff is now more specific about execute-bit changes it describes
1007
(Chad Miller)
1008
1009
* Fetching data over HTTP is a bit faster when urllib is used. This is done
1010
by forcing it to recv 64k at a time when reading lines in HTTP headers,
1011
rather than just 1 byte at a time. (Andrew Bennetts)
1012
1013
* Log --short and --line are much faster when -r is not specified.
1014
(Aaron Bentley)
1015
1016
* Merge is faster. We no longer check a file's existence unnecessarily
1017
when merging the execute bit. (Aaron Bentley)
1018
1019
* ``bzr status`` on an explicit list of files no longer shows pending
1020
merges, making it much faster on large trees. (John Arbash Meinel)
1021
1022
* The launchpad directory service now warns the user if they have not set
1023
their launchpad login and are trying to resolve a URL using it, just
1024
in case they want to do a write operation with it. (James Westby)
1025
1026
* The smart protocol client is slightly faster, because it now only queries
1027
the server for the protocol version once per connection. Also, the HTTP
1028
transport will now automatically probe for and use a smart server if
1029
one is present. You can use the new ``nosmart+`` transport decorator
1030
to get the old behaviour. (Andrew Bennetts)
1031
1032
* The ``version`` command takes a ``--short`` option to print just the
1033
version number, for easier use in scripts. (Martin Pool)
1034
1035
* Various operations with revision specs and commands that calculate
1036
revnos and revision ids are faster. (John A. Meinel, Aaron Bentley)
1037
1038
BUGFIXES:
1039
1040
* Add ``root_client_path`` parameter to SmartWSGIApp and
1041
SmartServerRequest. This makes it possible to publish filesystem
1042
locations that don't exactly match URL paths. SmartServerRequest
1043
subclasses should use the new ``translate_client_path`` and
1044
``transport_from_client_path`` methods when dealing with paths received
1045
from a client to take this into account. (Andrew Bennetts, #124089)
1046
1047
* ``bzr mv a b`` can be now used also to rename previously renamed
1048
directories, not only files. (Lukáš Lalinský, #107967)
1049
1050
* ``bzr uncommit --local`` can now remove revisions from the local
1051
branch to be symmetric with ``bzr commit --local``.
1052
(John Arbash Meinel, #93412)
1053
1054
* Don't ask for a password if there is no real terminal.
1055
(Alexander Belchenko, #69851)
1056
1057
* Fix a bug causing a ValueError crash in ``parse_line_delta_iter`` when
1058
fetching revisions from a knit to pack repository or vice versa using
1059
bzr:// (including over http or ssh).
1060
(#208418, Andrew Bennetts, Martin Pool, Robert Collins)
1061
1062
* Fixed ``_get_line`` in ``bzrlib.smart.medium``, which was buggy. Also
1063
fixed ``_get_bytes`` in the same module to use the push back buffer.
1064
These bugs had no known impact in normal use, but were problematic for
1065
developers working on the code, and were likely to cause real bugs sooner
1066
or later. (Andrew Bennetts)
1067
1068
* Implement handling of basename parameter for DefaultMail. (James Westby)
1069
1070
* Incompatibility with Paramiko versions newer than 1.7.2 was fixed.
1071
(Andrew Bennetts, #213425)
1072
1073
* Launchpad locations (lp: URLs) can be pulled. (Aaron Bentley, #181945)
1074
1075
* Merges that add files to deleted root directories complete. They
1076
do create conflicts. (Aaron Bentley, #210092)
1077
1078
* vsftp's return ``550 RNFR command failed.`` supported.
1079
(Marcus Trautwig, #129786)
1080
1081
DOCUMENTATION:
1082
1083
* Improved documentation on send/merge relationship. (Peter Schuller)
1084
1085
* Minor fixes to the User Guide. (Matthew Fuller)
1086
1087
* Reduced the evangelism in the User Guide. (Ian Clatworthy)
1088
1089
* Added Integrating with Bazaar document for developers (Martin Albisetti)
1090
1091
API BREAKS:
1092
1093
* Attempting to pull data from a ghost aware repository (e.g. knits) into a
1094
non-ghost aware repository such as weaves will now fail if there are
1095
ghosts. (Robert Collins)
1096
1097
* ``KnitVersionedFile`` no longer accepts an ``access_mode`` parameter, and
1098
now requires the ``index`` and ``access_method`` parameters to be
1099
supplied. A compatible shim has been kept in the new function
1100
``knit.make_file_knit``. (Robert Collins)
1101
1102
* Log formatters must now provide log_revision instead of show and
1103
show_merge_revno methods. The latter had been deprecated since the 0.17
1104
release. (James Westby)
1105
1106
* ``LoopbackSFTP`` is now called ``SocketAsChannelAdapter``.
1107
(Andrew Bennetts)
1108
1109
* ``osutils.backup_file`` is removed. (Alexander Belchenko)
1110
1111
* ``Repository.get_revision_graph`` is deprecated, with no replacement
1112
method. The method was size(history) and not desirable. (Robert Collins)
1113
1114
* ``revision.revision_graph`` is deprecated, with no replacement function.
1115
The function was size(history) and not desirable. (Robert Collins)
1116
1117
* ``Transport.get_shared_medium`` is deprecated. Use
1118
``Transport.get_smart_medium`` instead. (Andrew Bennetts)
1119
1120
* ``VersionedFile`` factories now accept a get_scope parameter rather
1121
than using a call to ``transaction_finished``, allowing the removal of
1122
the fixed list of versioned files per repository. (Robert Collins)
1123
1124
* ``VersionedFile.annotate_iter`` is deprecated. While in principle this
1125
allowed lower memory use, all users of annotations wanted full file
1126
annotations, and there is no storage format suitable for incremental
1127
line-by-line annotation. (Robert Collins)
1128
1129
* ``VersionedFile.clone_text`` is deprecated. This performance optimisation
1130
is no longer used - reading the content of a file that is undergoing a
1131
file level merge to identical state on two branches is rare enough, and
1132
not expensive enough to special case. (Robert Collins)
1133
1134
* ``VersionedFile.clear_cache`` and ``enable_cache`` are deprecated.
1135
These methods added significant complexity to the ``VersionedFile``
1136
implementation, but were only used for optimising fetches from knits -
1137
which can be done from outside the knit layer, or via a caching
1138
decorator. As knits are not the default format, the complexity is no
1139
longer worth paying. (Robert Collins)
1140
1141
* ``VersionedFile.create_empty`` is removed. This method presupposed a
1142
sensible mapping to a transport for individual files, but pack backed
1143
versioned files have no such mapping. (Robert Collins)
1144
1145
* ``VersionedFile.get_graph`` is deprecated, with no replacement method.
1146
The method was size(history) and not desirable. (Robert Collins)
1147
1148
* ``VersionedFile.get_graph_with_ghosts`` is deprecated, with no
1149
replacement method. The method was size(history) and not desirable.
1150
(Robert Collins)
1151
1152
* ``VersionedFile.get_parents`` is deprecated, please use
1153
``VersionedFile.get_parent_map``. (Robert Collins)
1154
1155
* ``VersionedFile.get_sha1`` is deprecated, please use
1156
``VersionedFile.get_sha1s``. (Robert Collins)
1157
1158
* ``VersionedFile.has_ghost`` is now deprecated, as it is both expensive
1159
and unused outside of a single test. (Robert Collins)
1160
1161
* ``VersionedFile.iter_parents`` is now deprecated in favour of
1162
``get_parent_map`` which can be used to instantiate a Graph on a
1163
VersionedFile. (Robert Collins)
1164
1165
* ``VersionedFileStore`` no longer uses the transaction parameter given
1166
to most methods; amongst other things this means that the
1167
get_weave_or_empty method no longer guarantees errors on a missing weave
1168
in a readonly transaction, and no longer caches versioned file instances
1169
which reduces memory pressure (but requires more careful management by
1170
callers to preserve performance). (Robert Collins)
1171
1172
TESTING:
1173
1174
* New -Dselftest_debug flag disables clearing of the debug flags during
1175
tests. This is useful if you want to use e.g. -Dhpss to help debug a
1176
failing test. Be aware that using this feature is likely to cause
1177
spurious test failures if used with the full suite. (Andrew Bennetts)
1178
1179
* selftest --load-list now uses a new more agressive test loader that will
1180
avoid loading unneeded modules and building their tests. Plugins can use
1181
this new loader by defining a load_tests function instead of a test_suite
1182
function. (a forthcoming patch will provide many examples on how to
1183
implement this).
1184
(Vincent Ladeuil)
1185
1186
* selftest --load-list now does some sanity checks regarding duplicate test
1187
IDs and tests present in the list but not found in the actual test suite.
1188
(Vincent Ladeuil)
1189
1190
* Slightly more concise format for the selftest progress bar, so there's
1191
more space to show the test name. (Martin Pool) ::
1192
1193
[2500/10884, 1fail, 3miss in 1m29s] test_revisionnamespaces.TestRev
1194
1195
* The test suite takes much less memory to run, and is a bit faster. This
1196
is done by clearing most attributes of TestCases after running them, if
1197
they succeeded. (Andrew Bennetts)
1198
1199
INTERNALS:
1200
1201
* Added ``_build_client_protocol`` to ``_SmartClient``. (Andrew Bennetts)
1202
1203
* Added basic infrastructure for automatic plugin suggestion.
1204
(Martin Albisetti)
1205
1206
* If a ``LockableFiles`` object is not explicitly unlocked (for example
1207
because of a missing ``try/finally`` block, it will give a warning but
1208
not automatically unlock itself. (Previously they did.) This
1209
sometimes caused knock-on errors if for example the network connection
1210
had already failed, and should not be relied upon by code.
1211
(Martin Pool, #109520)
1212
1213
* ``make dist`` target to build a release tarball, and also
1214
``check-dist-tarball`` and ``dist-upload-escudero``. (Martin Pool)
1215
1216
* The ``read_response_tuple`` method of ``SmartClientRequestProtocol*``
1217
classes will now raise ``UnknownSmartMethod`` when appropriate, so that
1218
callers don't need to try distinguish unknown request errors from other
1219
errors. (Andrew Bennetts)
1220
1221
* ``set_make_working_trees`` is now implemented provided on all repository
1222
implementations (Aaron Bentley)
1223
1224
* ``VersionedFile`` now has a new method ``get_parent_map`` which, like
1225
``Graph.get_parent_map`` returns a dict of key:parents. (Robert Collins)

BUG FIXES:
1238
1239
* Fix a bug causing a ValueError crash in ``parse_line_delta_iter`` when
1240
fetching revisions from a knit to pack repository or vice versa using
1241
bzr:// (including over http or ssh).

1246
------------------
1247
1248
Bazaar has become part of the GNU project <http://www.gnu.org>
1249
1250
Many operations that act on history, including ``log`` and ``annotate`` are now
1251
substantially faster. Several bugs have been fixed and several new options and
1252
features have been added.
1253
1254
TESTING:
1255
1256
* Avoid spurious failure of ``TestVersion.test_version`` matching
1257

NOTES WHEN UPGRADING:
1265
1266
* The backup directory created by ``upgrade`` is now called
1267
``backup.bzr``, not ``.bzr.backup``. (Martin Albisetti)
1268
1269
CHANGES:
1270
1271
* A new repository format 'development' has been added. This format will
1272
represent the latest 'in-progress' format that the bzr developers are
1273
interested in getting early-adopter testing and feedback on.
1274
``doc/developers/development-repo.txt`` has detailed information.
1275
(Robert Collins)
1276
1277
* BZR_LOG environment variable controls location of .bzr.log trace file.
1278
User can suppress writing messages to .bzr.log by using '/dev/null'
1279
filename (on Linux) or 'NUL' (on Windows). If BZR_LOG variable
1280
is not defined but BZR_HOME is defined then default location
1281
for .bzr.log trace file is ``$BZR_HOME/.bzr.log``.
1282
(Alexander Belchenko)
1283
1284
* ``launchpad`` builtin plugin now shipped as separate part in standalone
1285
bzr.exe, installed to ``C:\Program Files\Bazaar\plugins`` directory,
1286
and standalone installer allows user to skip installation of this plugin.
1287
(Alexander Belchenko)
1288
1289
* Restore auto-detection of plink.exe on Windows. (Dmitry Vasiliev)
1290
1291
* Version number is now shown as "1.2" or "1.2pr2", without zeroed or
1292
missing final fields. (Martin Pool)
1293
1294
FEATURES:
1295
1296
* ``branch`` and ``checkout`` can hard-link working tree files, which is
1297
faster and saves space. (Aaron Bentley)
1298
1299
* ``bzr send`` will now also look at the ``child_submit_to`` setting in
1300
the submit branch to determine the email address to send to.
1301
(Jelmer Vernooij)
1302
1303
IMPROVEMENTS:
1304
1305
* BzrBranch._lefthand_history is faster on pack repos. (Aaron Bentley)
1306
1307
* Branch6.generate_revision_history is faster. (Aaron Bentley)
1308
1309
* Directory services can now be registered, allowing special URLs to be
1310
dereferenced into real URLs. This is a generalization and cleanup of
1311
the lp: transport lookup. (Aaron Bentley)
1312
1313
* Merge directives that are automatically attached to emails have nicer
1314
filenames, based on branch-nick + revno. (Aaron Bentley)
1315
1316
* ``push`` has a ``--revision`` option, to specify what revision to push up
1317
to. (Daniel Watkins)
1318
1319
* Significantly reducing execution time and network traffic for trivial
1320
case of running ``bzr missing`` command for two identical branches.
1321
(Alexander Belchenko)
1322
1323
* Speed up operations that look at the revision graph (such as 'bzr log').
1324
``KnitPackRepositor.get_revision_graph`` uses ``Graph.iter_ancestry`` to
1325
extract the revision history. This allows filtering ghosts while
1326
stepping instead of needing to peek ahead. (John Arbash Meinel)
1327
1328
* The ``hooks`` command lists installed hooks, to assist in debugging.
1329
(Daniel Watkins)
1330
1331
* Updates to how ``annotate`` work. Should see a measurable improvement in
1332
performance and memory consumption for file with a lot of merges.
1333
Also, correctly handle when a line is introduced by both parents (it
1334
should be attributed to the first merge which notices this, and not
1335
to all subsequent merges.) (John Arbash Meinel)
1336
1337
BUGFIXES:
1338
1339
* Autopacking no longer holds the full set of inventory lines in
1340
memory while copying. For large repositories, this can amount to
1341
hundreds of MB of ram consumption.
1342
(Ian Clatworthy, John Arbash Meinel)
1343
1344
* Cherrypicking when using ``--format=merge3`` now explictly excludes
1345
BASE lines. (John Arbash Meinel, #151731)
1346
1347
* Disable plink's interactive prompt for password.
1348
(#107593, Dmitry Vasiliev)
1349
1350
* Encode command line arguments from unicode to user_encoding before
1351
invoking external mail client in `bzr send` command.
1352
(#139318, Alexander Belchenko)
1353
1354
* Fixed problem connecting to ``bzr+https://`` servers.
1355
(#198793, John Ferlito)
1356
1357
* Improved error reporting in the Launchpad plugin. (Daniel Watkins,
1358
#196618)
1359
1360
* Include quick-start-summary.svg file to python-based installer(s)
1361
for Windows. (#192924, Alexander Belchenko)
1362
1363
* lca merge now respects specified files. (Aaron Bentley)
1364
1365
* Make version-info --custom imply --all. (#195560, James Westby)
1366
1367
* ``merge --preview`` now works for merges that add or modify
1368
symlinks (James Henstridge)
1369
1370
* Redirecting the output from ``bzr merge`` (when the remembered
1371
location is used) now works. (John Arbash Meinel)
1372
1373
* setup.py script explicitly checks for Python version.
1374
(Jari Aalto, Alexander Belchenko, #200569)
1375
1376
* UnknownFormatErrors no longer refer to branches regardless of kind of
1377
unknown format. (Daniel Watkins, #173980)
1378
1379
* Upgrade bundled ConfigObj to version 4.5.2, which properly quotes #
1380
signs, among other small improvements. (Matt Nordhoff, #86838)
1381
1382
* Use correct indices when emitting LCA conflicts. This fixes IndexError
1383
errors. (Aaron Bentley, #196780)
1384
1385
DOCUMENTATION:
1386
1387
* Explained how to use ``version-info --custom`` in the User Guide.
1388
(Neil Martinsen-Burrell)
1389
1390
API BREAKS:
1391
1392
* Support for loading plugins from zip files and
1393
``bzrlib.plugin.load_from_zip()`` function are deprecated.
1394
(Alexander Belchenko)
1395
1396
TESTING:
1397
1398
* Added missing blackbox tests for ``modified`` (Adrian Wilkins)
1399
1400
* The branch interface tests were invalid for branches using rich-root
1401
repositories because the empty string is not a valid file-id.
1402
(Robert Collins)
1403
1404
INTERNALS:
1405
1406
* ``Graph.iter_ancestry`` returns the ancestry of revision ids. Similar to
1407
``Repository.get_revision_graph()`` except it includes ghosts and you can
1408
stop part-way through. (John Arbash Meinel)
1409
1410
* New module ``tools/package_mf.py`` provide custom module finder for
1411
python packages (improves standard python library's modulefinder.py)
1412
used by ``setup.py`` script while building standalone bzr.exe.
1413
(Alexander Belchenko)
1414
1415
* New remote method ``RemoteBzrDir.find_repositoryV2`` adding support for
1416
detecting external lookup support on remote repositories. This method is
1417
now attempted first when lookup up repositories, leading to an extra
1418
round trip on older bzr smart servers. (Robert Collins)
1419
1420
* Repository formats have a new supported-feature attribute
1421
``supports_external_lookups`` used to indicate repositories which support
1422
falling back to other repositories when they have partial data.
1423
(Robert Collins)
1424
1425
* ``Repository.get_revision_graph_with_ghosts`` and
1426
``bzrlib.revision.(common_ancestor,MultipleRevisionSources,common_graph)``
1427
have been deprecated. (John Arbash Meinel)
1428
1429
* ``Tree.iter_changes`` is now a public API, replacing the work-in-progress
1430
``Tree._iter_changes``. The api is now considered stable and ready for
1431
external users. (Aaron Bentley)
1432
1433
* The bzrdir format registry now accepts an ``alias`` keyword to
1434
register_metadir, used to indicate that a format name is an alias for
1435
some other format and thus should not be reported when describing the
1436
format. (Robert Collins)

1450
NOTES WHEN UPGRADING:
1451
1452
* Fetching via the smart protocol may need to reconnect once during a fetch
1453
if the remote server is running Bazaar 1.1 or earlier, because the client
1454
attempts to use more efficient requests that confuse older servers. You
1455
may be required to re-enter a password or passphrase when this happens.
1456
This won't happen if the server is upgraded to Bazaar 1.2.
1457
(Andrew Bennetts)
1458
1459
CHANGES:
1460
1461
* Fetching via bzr+ssh will no longer fill ghosts by default (this is
1462
consistent with pack-0.92 fetching over SFTP). (Robert Collins)
1463
1464
* Formatting of ``bzr plugins`` output is changed to be more human-
1465
friendly. Full path of plugins locations will be shown only with
1466
``--verbose`` command-line option. (Alexander Belchenko)
1467
1468
* ``merge`` now prefers to use the submit branch, but will fall back to
1469
parent branch. For many users, this has no effect. But some users who
1470
pull and merge on the same branch will notice a change. This change
1471
makes it easier to work on a branch on two different machines, pulling
1472
between the machines, while merging from the upstream.
1473
``merge --remember`` can now be used to set the submit_branch.
1474
(Aaron Bentley)
1475
1476
FEATURES:
1477
1478
* ``merge --preview`` produces a diff of the changes merge would make,
1479
but does not actually perform the merge. (Aaron Bentley)
1480
1481
* New smart method ``Repository.get_parent_map`` for getting revision
1482
parent data. This returns additional parent information topologically
1483
adjacent to the requested data to reduce round trip latency impacts.
1484
(Robert Collins)
1485
1486
* New smart method, ``Repository.stream_revisions_chunked``, for fetching
1487
revision data that streams revision data via a chunked encoding. This
1488
avoids buffering large amounts of revision data on the server and on the
1489
client, and sends less data to the server to request the revisions.
1490
(Andrew Bennetts, Robert Collins, #178353)
1491
1492
* The launchpad plugin now handles lp urls of the form
1493
``lp://staging/``, ``lp://demo/``, ``lp://dev/`` to use the appropriate
1494
launchpad instance to do the resolution of the branch identities.
1495
This is primarily of use to Launchpad developers, but can also
1496
be used by other users who want to try out Launchpad as
1497
a branch location without messing up their public Launchpad
1498
account. Branches that are pushed to the staging environment
1499
have an expected lifetime of one day. (Tim Penhey)
1500
1501
IMPROVEMENTS:
1502
1503
* Creating a new branch no longer tries to read the entire revision-history
1504
unnecessarily over smart server operations. (Robert Collins)
1505
1506
* Fetching between different repository formats with compatible models now
1507
takes advantage of the smart method to stream revisions. (Andrew Bennetts)
1508
1509
* The ``--coverage`` option is now global, rather specific to ``bzr
1510
selftest``. (Andrew Bennetts)
1511
1512
* The ``register-branch`` command will now use the public url of the branch
1513
containing the current directory, if one has been set and no explicit
1514
branch is provided. (Robert Collins)
1515
1516
* Tweak the ``reannotate`` code path to optimize the 2-parent case.
1517
Speeds up ``bzr annotate`` with a pack repository by approx 3:2.
1518
(John Arbash Meinel)
1519
1520
BUGFIXES:
1521
1522
* Calculate remote path relative to the shared medium in _SmartClient. This
1523
is related to the problem in bug #124089. (Andrew Bennetts)
1524
1525
* Cleanly handle connection errors in smart protocol version two, the same
1526
way as they are handled by version one. (Andrew Bennetts)
1527
1528
* Clearer error when ``version-info --custom`` is used without
1529
``--template`` (Lukáš Lalinský)
1530
1531
* Don't raise UnavailableFeature during test setup when medusa is not
1532
available or tearDown is never called leading to nasty side effects.
1533
(#137823, Vincent Ladeuil)
1534
1535
* If a plugin's test suite cannot be loaded, for example because of a syntax
1536
error in the tests, then ``selftest`` fails, rather than just printing
1537
a warning. (Martin Pool, #189771)
1538
1539
* List possible values for BZR_SSH environment variable in env-variables
1540
help topic. (Alexander Belchenko, #181842)
1541
1542
* New methods ``push_log_file`` and ``pop_log_file`` to intercept messages:
1543
popping the log redirection now precisely restores the previous state,
1544
which makes it easier to use bzr log output from other programs.
1545
TestCaseInTempDir no longer depends on a log redirection being established
1546
by the test framework, which lets bzr tests cleanly run from a normal
1547
unittest runner.
1548
(#124153, #124849, Martin Pool, Jonathan Lange)
1549
1550
* ``pull --quiet`` is now more quiet, in particular a message is no longer
1551
printed when the remembered pull location is used. (James Westby,
1552
#185907)
1553
1554
* ``reconfigure`` can safely be interrupted while fetching.
1555
(Aaron Bentley, #179316)
1556
1557
* ``reconfigure`` preserves tags when converting to and from lightweight
1558
checkouts. (Aaron Bentley, #182040)
1559
1560
* Stop polluting /tmp when running selftest.
1561
(Vincent Ladeuil, #123623)
1562
1563
* Switch from NFKC => NFC for normalization checks. NFC allows a few
1564
more characters which should be considered valid.
1565
(John Arbash Meinel, #185458)
1566
1567
* The launchpad plugin now uses the ``edge`` xmlrpc server to avoid
1568
interacting badly with a bug on the launchpad side. (Robert Collins)
1569
1570
* Unknown hostnames when connecting to a ``bzr://`` URL no longer cause
1571
tracebacks. (Andrew Bennetts, #182849)
1572
1573
API BREAKS:
1574
1575
* Classes implementing Merge types like Merge3Merger must now accept (and
1576
honour) a do_merge flag in their constructor. (Aaron Bentley)
1577
1578
* ``Repository.add_inventory`` and ``add_revision`` now require the caller
1579
to previously take a write lock (and start a write group.)
1580
(Martin Pool)
1581
1582
TESTING:
1583
1584
* selftest now accepts --load-list <file> to load a test id list. This
1585
speeds up running the test suite on a limited set of tests.
1586
(Vincent Ladeuil)
1587
1588
INTERNALS:
1589
1590
* Add a new method ``get_result`` to graph search objects. The resulting
1591
``SearchResult`` can be used to recreate the search later, which will
1592
be useful in reducing network traffic. (Robert Collins)
1593
1594
* Use convenience function to check whether two repository handles
1595
are referring to the same repository in ``Repository.get_graph``.
1596
(Jelmer Vernooij, #187162)
1597
1598
* Fetching now passes the find_ghosts flag through to the
1599
``InterRepository.missing_revision_ids`` call consistently for all
1600
repository types. This will enable faster missing revision discovery with
1601
bzr+ssh. (Robert Collins)
1602
1603
* Fix error handling in Repository.insert_data_stream. (Lukas Lalinsky)
1604
1605
* ``InterRepository.missing_revision_ids`` is now deprecated in favour of
1606
``InterRepository.search_missing_revision_ids`` which returns a
1607
``bzrlib.graph.SearchResult`` suitable for making requests from the smart
1608
server. (Robert Collins)
1609
1610
* New error ``NoPublicBranch`` for commands that need a public branch to
1611
operate. (Robert Collins)
1612
1613
* New method ``iter_inventories`` on Repository for access to many
1614
inventories. This is primarily used by the ``revision_trees`` method, as
1615
direct access to inventories is discouraged. (Robert Collins)
1616
1617
* New method ``next_with_ghosts`` on the Graph breadth-first-search objects
1618
which will split out ghosts and present parents into two separate sets,
1619
useful for code which needs to be aware of ghosts (e.g. fetching data
1620
cares about ghosts during revision selection). (Robert Collins)
1621
1622
* Record a timestamp against each mutter to the trace file, relative to the
1623
first import of bzrlib. (Andrew Bennetts)
1624
1625
* ``Repository.get_data_stream`` is now deprecated in favour of
1626
``Repository.get_data_stream_for_search`` which allows less network
1627
traffic when requesting data streams over a smart server. (Robert Collins)
1628
1629
* ``RemoteBzrDir._get_tree_branch`` no longer triggers ``_ensure_real``,
1630
removing one round trip on many network operations. (Robert Collins)
1631
1632
* RemoteTransport's ``recommended_page_size`` method now returns 64k, like
1633
SFTPTransport and HttpTransportBase. (Andrew Bennetts)
1634
1635
* Repository has a new method ``has_revisions`` which signals the presence
1636
of many revisions by returning a set of the revisions listed which are
1637
present. This can be done by index queries without reading data for parent
1638
revision names etc. (Robert Collins)

1647
---------------------
1648
1649
CHANGES:
1650
1651
* Dotted revision numbers have been revised. Instead of growing longer with
1652
nested branches the branch number just increases. (eg instead of 1.1.1.1.1
1653
we now report 1.2.1.) This helps scale long lived branches which have many
1654
feature branches merged between them. (John Arbash Meinel)
1655
1656
* The syntax ``bzr diff branch1 branch2`` is no longer supported.
1657
Use ``bzr diff branch1 --new branch2`` instead. This change has
1658
been made to remove the ambiguity where ``branch2`` is in fact a
1659
specific file to diff within ``branch1``.
1660
1661
FEATURES:
1662
1663
* New option to use custom template-based formats in ``bzr version-info``.
1664
(Lukáš Lalinský)
1665
1666
* diff '--using' allows an external diff tool to be used for files.
1667
(Aaron Bentley)
1668
1669
* New "lca" merge-type for fast everyday merging that also supports
1670
criss-cross merges. (Aaron Bentley)
1671
1672
IMPROVEMENTS:
1673
1674
* ``annotate`` now doesn't require a working tree. (Lukáš Lalinský,
1675
#90049)
1676
1677
* ``branch`` and ``checkout`` can now use files from a working tree to
1678
to speed up the process. For checkout, this requires the new
1679
--files-from flag. (Aaron Bentley)
1680
1681
* ``bzr diff`` now sorts files in alphabetical order. (Aaron Bentley)
1682
1683
* ``bzr diff`` now works on branches without working trees. Tree-less
1684
branches can also be compared to each other and to working trees using
1685
the new diff options ``--old`` and ``--new``. Diffing between branches,
1686
with or without trees, now supports specific file filtering as well.
1687
(Ian Clatworthy, #6700)
1688
1689
* ``bzr pack`` now orders revision texts in topological order, with newest
1690
at the start of the file, promoting linear reads for ``bzr log`` and the
1691
like. This partially fixes #154129. (Robert Collins)
1692
1693
* Merge directives now fetch prerequisites from the target branch if
1694
needed. (Aaron Bentley)
1695
1696
* pycurl now handles digest authentication.
1697
(Vincent Ladeuil)
1698
1699
* ``reconfigure`` can now convert from repositories. (Aaron Bentley)
1700
1701
* ``-l`` is now a short form for ``--limit`` in ``log``. (Matt Nordhoff)
1702
1703
* ``merge`` now warns when merge directives cause cherrypicks.
1704
(Aaron Bentley)
1705
1706
* ``split`` now supported, to enable splitting large trees into smaller
1707
pieces. (Aaron Bentley)
1708
1709
BUGFIXES:
1710
1711
* Avoid AttributeError when unlocking a pack repository when an error occurs.
1712
(Martin Pool, #180208)
1713
1714
* Better handle short reads when processing multiple range requests.
1715
(Vincent Ladeuil, #179368)
1716
1717
* build_tree acceleration uses the correct path when a file has been moved.
1718
(Aaron Bentley)
1719
1720
* ``commit`` now succeeds when a checkout and its master branch share a
1721
repository. (Aaron Bentley, #177592)
1722
1723
* Fixed error reporting of unsupported timezone format in
1724
``log --timezone``. (Lukáš Lalinský, #178722)
1725
1726
* Fixed Unicode encoding error in ``ignored`` when the output is
1727
redirected to a pipe. (Lukáš Lalinský)
1728
1729
* Fix traceback when sending large response bodies over the smart protocol
1730
on Windows. (Andrew Bennetts, #115781)
1731
1732
* Fix ``urlutils.relative_url`` for the case of two ``file:///`` URLs
1733
pointed to different logical drives on Windows.
1734
(Alexander Belchenko, #90847)
1735
1736
* HTTP test servers are now compatible with the http protocol version 1.1.
1737
(Vincent Ladeuil, #175524)
1738
1739
* _KnitParentsProvider.get_parent_map now handles requests for ghosts
1740
correctly, instead of erroring or attributing incorrect parents to ghosts.
1741
(Aaron Bentley)
1742
1743
* ``merge --weave --uncommitted`` now works. (Aaron Bentley)
1744
1745
* pycurl authentication handling was broken and incomplete. Fix handling of
1746
user:pass embedded in the urls.
1747
(Vincent Ladeuil, #177643)
1748
1749
* Files inside non-directories are now handled like other conflict types.
1750
(Aaron Bentley, #177390)
1751
1752
* ``reconfigure`` is able to convert trees into lightweight checkouts.
1753
(Aaron Bentley)
1754
1755
* Reduce lockdir timeout to 0 when running ``bzr serve``. (Andrew Bennetts,
1756
#148087)
1757
1758
* Test that the old ``version_info_format`` functions still work, even
1759
though they are deprecated. (John Arbash Meinel, ShenMaq, #177872)
1760
1761
* Transform failures no longer cause ImmortalLimbo errors (Aaron Bentley,
1762
#137681)
1763
1764
* ``uncommit`` works even when the commit messages of revisions to be
1765
removed use characters not supported in the terminal encoding.
1766
(Aaron Bentley)
1767
1768
* When dumb http servers return whole files instead of the requested ranges,
1769
read the remaining bytes by chunks to avoid overflowing network buffers.
1770
(Vincent Ladeuil, #175886)
1771
1772
DOCUMENTATION:
1773
1774
* Minor tweaks made to the bug tracker integration documentation.
1775
(Ian Clatworthy)
1776
1777
* Reference material has now be moved out of the User Guide and added
1778
to the User Reference. The User Reference has gained 4 sections as
1779
a result: Authenication Settings, Configuration Settings, Conflicts
1780
and Hooks. All help topics are now dumped into text format in the
1781
doc/en/user-reference directory for those who like browsing that
1782
information in their editor. (Ian Clatworthy)
1783
1784
* *Using Bazaar with Launchpad* tutorial added. (Ian Clatworthy)
1785
1786
INTERNALS:
1787
1788
* find_* methods available for BzrDirs, Branches and WorkingTrees.

1791
* Help topics can now be loaded from files.
1792
(Ian Clatworthy, Alexander Belchenko)
1793
1794
* get_parent_map now always provides tuples as its output. (Aaron Bentley)
1795
1796
* Parent Providers should now implement ``get_parent_map`` returning a
1797
dictionary instead of ``get_parents`` returning a list.
1798
``Graph.get_parents`` is now deprecated. (John Arbash Meinel,
1799
Robert Collins)
1800
1801
* Patience Diff now supports arbitrary python objects, as long as they
1802
support ``hash()``. (John Arbash Meinel)
1803
1804
* Reduce selftest overhead to establish test names by memoization.

1811
* Modules can now customise their tests by defining a ``load_tests``
1812
attribute. ``pydoc bzrlib.tests.TestUtil.TestLoader.loadTestsFromModule``
1813
for the documentation on this attribute. (Robert Collins)
1814
1815
* New helper function ``bzrlib.tests.condition_id_re`` which helps
1816
filter tests based on a regular expression search on the tests id.
1817
(Robert Collins)
1818
1819
* New helper function ``bzrlib.tests.condition_isinstance`` which helps
1820
filter tests based on class. (Robert Collins)
1821
1822
* New helper function ``bzrlib.tests.exclude_suite_by_condition`` which
1823
generalises the ``exclude_suite_by_re`` function. (Robert Collins)
1824
1825
* New helper function ``bzrlib.tests.filter_suite_by_condition`` which
1826
generalises the ``filter_suite_by_re`` function. (Robert Collins)
1827
1828
* New helper method ``bzrlib.tests.exclude_tests_by_re`` which gives a new
1829
TestSuite that does not contain tests from the input that matched a
1830
regular expression. (Robert Collins)
1831
1832
* New helper method ``bzrlib.tests.randomize_suite`` which returns a
1833
randomized copy of the input suite. (Robert Collins)
1834
1835
* New helper method ``bzrlib.tests.split_suite_by_re`` which splits a test
1836
suite into two according to a regular expression. (Robert Collins)
1837
1838
* Parametrize all http tests for the transport implementations, the http
1839
protocol versions (1.0 and 1.1) and the authentication schemes.
1840
(Vincent Ladeuil)
1841
1842
* The ``exclude_pattern`` and ``random_order`` parameters to the function
1843
``bzrlib.tests.filter_suite_by_re`` have been deprecated. (Robert Collins)
1844
1845
* The method ``bzrlib.tests.sort_suite_by_re`` has been deprecated. It is
1846
replaced by the new helper methods added in this release. (Robert Collins)

* Fix Makefile rules for doc generation. (Ian Clatworthy, #175207)
1879
1880
* Give more feedback during long http downloads by making readv deliver data
1881
as it arrives for urllib, and issue more requests for pycurl. High latency
1882
networks are better handled by urllib, the pycurl implementation give more
1883
feedback but also incur more latency.
1884
(Vincent Ladeuil, #173010)
1885
1886
* Implement _make_parents_provider on RemoteRepository, allowing generating
1887
bundles against branches on a smart server. (Andrew Bennetts, #147836)
1888
1889
DOCUMENTATION:
1890
1891
* Improved user guide. (Ian Clatworthy)
1892
1893

(Ian Clatworthy)
1895
1896
INTERNALS:
1897
1898
* readv urllib http implementation is now a real iterator above the
1899
underlying socket and deliver data as soon as it arrives. 'get' still
1900
wraps its output in a StringIO.

IMPROVEMENTS:
1908
1909
* Added a --coverage option to selftest. (Andrew Bennetts)
1910
1911
* Annotate merge (merge-type=weave) now supports cherrypicking.
1912
(Aaron Bentley)
1913
1914
* ``bzr commit`` now doesn't print the revision number twice. (Matt
1915
Nordhoff, #172612)
1916
1917
* New configuration option ``bugtracker_<tracker_abbrevation>_url`` to
1918
define locations of bug trackers that are not directly supported by
1919
bzr or a plugin. The URL will be treated as a template and ``{id}``
1920
placeholders will be replaced by specific bug IDs. (Lukáš Lalinský)
1921
1922
* Support logging single merge revisions with short and line log formatters.
1923
(Kent Gibson)
1924
1925
* User Guide enhanced with suggested readability improvements from
1926
Matt Revell and corrections from John Arbash Meinel. (Ian Clatworthy)
1927
1928
* Quick Start Guide renamed to Quick Start Card, moved down in
1929
the catalog, provided in pdf and png format and updated to refer
1930
to ``send`` instead of ``bundle``. (Ian Clatworthy, #165080)
1931
1932
* ``switch`` can now be used on heavyweight checkouts as well as
1933
lightweight ones. After switching a heavyweight checkout, the
1934
local branch is a mirror/cache of the new bound branch and
1935
uncommitted changes in the working tree are merged. As a safety
1936
check, if there are local commits in a checkout which have not
1937
been committed to the previously bound branch, then ``switch``
1938
fails unless the ``--force`` option is given. This option is
1939
now also required if the branch a lightweight checkout is pointing
1940
to has been moved. (Ian Clatworthy)
1941
1942
INTERNALS:
1943
1944
* New -Dhttp debug option reports http connections, requests and responses.
1945
(Vincent Ladeuil)
1946
1947
* New -Dmerge debug option, which emits merge plans for merge-type=weave.
1948
1949
BUGFIXES:
1950
1951
* Better error message when running ``bzr cat`` on a non-existant branch.
1952
(Lukáš Lalinský, #133782)
1953
1954
* Catch OSError 17 (file exists) in final phase of tree transform and show
1955
filename to user.
1956
(Alexander Belchenko, #111758)
1957
1958
* Catch ShortReadvErrors while using pycurl. Also make readv more robust by
1959
allowing multiple GET requests to be issued if too many ranges are
1960
required.
1961
(Vincent Ladeuil, #172701)
1962
1963
* Check for missing basis texts when fetching from packs to packs.
1964
(John Arbash Meinel, #165290)
1965
1966
* Fall back to showing e-mail in ``log --short/--line`` if the
1967
committer/author has only e-mail. (Lukáš Lalinský, #157026)
1968
1969
API BREAKS:

---------------------

1978
NOTES WHEN UPGRADING:
1979
1980
* The default repository format is now ``pack-0.92``. This
1981
default is used when creating new repositories with ``init`` and
1982
``init-repo``, and when branching over bzr+ssh or bzr+hpss.
1983
(See https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/164626)
1984
1985
This format can be read and written by Bazaar 0.92 and later, and
1986
data can be transferred to and from older formats.
1987
1988
To upgrade, please reconcile your repository (``bzr reconcile``), and then
1989
upgrade (``bzr upgrade``).
1990
1991
``pack-0.92`` offers substantially better scaling and performance than the
1992
previous knits format. Some operations are slower where the code already
1993
had bad scaling characteristics under knits, the pack format makes such
1994
operations more visible as part of being more scalable overall. We will
1995
correct such operations over the coming releases and encourage the filing
1996
of bugs on any operation which you observe to be slower in a packs
1997
repository. One particular case that we do not intend to fix is pulling
1998
data from a pack repository into a knit repository over a high latency
1999
link; downgrading such data requires reinsertion of the file texts, and
2000
this is a classic space/time tradeoff. The current implementation is
2001
conservative on memory usage because we need to support converting data
2002
from any tree without problems.
2003
(Robert Collins, Martin Pool, #164476)
2004
2005
CHANGES:
2006
2007
* Disable detection of plink.exe as possible ssh vendor. Plink vendor
2008
still available if user selects it explicitly with BZR_SSH environment
2009
variable. (Alexander Belchenko, workaround for bug #107593)
2010
2011
* The pack format is now accessible as "pack-0.92", or "pack-0.92-subtree"
2012
to enable the subtree functions (for example, for bzr-svn).
2013
See http://doc.bazaar-vcs.org/latest/developer/packrepo.html
2014
(Martin Pool)
2015
2016
FEATURES:
2017
2018
* New ``authentication.conf`` file holding the password or other credentials
2019
for remote servers. This can be used for ssh, sftp, smtp and other
2020
supported transports.
2021
(Vincent Ladeuil)
2022
2023
* New rich-root and rich-root-pack formats, recording the same data about
2024
tree roots that's recorded for all other directories.
2025
(Aaron Bentley, #164639)
2026
2027
* ``pack-0.92`` repositories can now be reconciled.
2028
(Robert Collins, #154173)
2029
2030
* ``switch`` command added for changing the branch a lightweight checkout
2031
is associated with and updating the tree to reflect the latest content
2032
accordingly. This command was previously part of the BzrTools plug-in.
2033
(Ian Clatworthy, Aaron Bentley, David Allouche)
2034
2035
* ``reconfigure`` command can now convert branches, trees, or checkouts to
2036
lightweight checkouts. (Aaron Bentley)
2037
2038
PERFORMANCE:
2039
2040
* Commit updates the state of the working tree via a delta rather than
2041
supplying entirely new basis trees. For commit of a single specified file
2042
this reduces the wall clock time for commit by roughly a 30%.
2043
(Robert Collins, Martin Pool)
2044
2045
* Commit with many automatically found deleted paths no longer performs
2046
linear scanning for the children of those paths during inventory
2047
iteration. This should fix commit performance blowing out when many such
2048
paths occur during commit. (Robert Collins, #156491)
2049
2050
* Fetch with pack repositories will no longer read the entire history graph.
2051
(Robert Collins, #88319)
2052
2053
* Revert takes out an appropriate lock when reverting to a basis tree, and
2054
does not read the basis inventory twice. (Robert Collins)
2055
2056
* Diff does not require an inventory to be generated on dirstate trees.
2057
(Aaron Bentley, #149254)
2058
2059
* New annotate merge (--merge-type=weave) implementation is fast on
2060
versionedfiles withough cached annotations, e.g. pack-0.92.
2061
(Aaron Bentley)
2062
2063
IMPROVEMENTS:
2064
2065
* ``bzr merge`` now warns when it encounters a criss-cross merge.
2066
(Aaron Bentley)
2067
2068
* ``bzr send`` now doesn't require the target e-mail address to be
2069
specified on the command line if an interactive e-mail client is used.
2070
(Lukáš Lalinský)
2071
2072
* ``bzr tags`` now prints the revision number for each tag, instead of
2073
the revision id, unless --show-ids is passed. In addition, tags can be
2074
sorted chronologically instead of lexicographically with --sort=time.
2075
(Adeodato Simó, #120231)
2076
2077
* Windows standalone version of bzr is able to load system-wide plugins from
2078
"plugins" subdirectory in installation directory. In addition standalone
2079
installer write to the registry (HKLM\SOFTWARE\Bazaar) useful info
2080
about paths and bzr version. (Alexander Belchenko, #129298)

* A progress bar has been added for knitpack -> knitpack fetching.
2087
(Robert Collins, #157789, #159147)
2088
2089
* Branching from a branch via smart server now preserves the repository
2090
format. (Andrew Bennetts, #164626)
2091
2092
* ``commit`` is now able to invoke an external editor in a non-ascii
2093
directory. (Daniel Watkins, #84043)
2094
2095
* Catch connection errors for ftp.
2096
(Vincent Ladeuil, #164567)
2097
2098
* ``check`` no longer reports spurious unreferenced text versions.
2099
(Robert Collins, John A Meinel, #162931, #165071)
2100
2101
* Conflicts are now resolved recursively by ``revert``.
2102
(Aaron Bentley, #102739)
2103
2104
* Detect invalid transport reuse attempts by catching invalid URLs.
2105
(Vincent Ladeuil, #161819)

* Deleting a file without removing it shows a correct diff, not a traceback.
2108
(Aaron Bentley)
2109
2110
* Do no use timeout in HttpServer anymore.
2111
(Vincent Ladeuil, #158972).
2112
2113
* Don't catch the exceptions related to the http pipeline status before
2114
retrying an http request or some programming errors may be masked.
2115
(Vincent Ladeuil, #160012)
2116
2117
* Fix ``bzr rm`` to not delete modified and ignored files.
2118
(Lukáš Lalinský, #172598)
2119
2120
* Fix exception when revisionspec contains merge revisons but log
2121
formatter doesn't support merge revisions. (Kent Gibson, #148908)
2122
2123
* Fix exception when ScopeReplacer is assigned to before any members have
2124
been retrieved. (Aaron Bentley)
2125
2126
* Fix multiple connections during checkout --lightweight.
2127
(Vincent Ladeuil, #159150)
2128
2129
* Fix possible error in insert_data_stream when copying between
2130
pack repositories over bzr+ssh or bzr+http.
2131
KnitVersionedFile.get_data_stream now makes sure that requested
2132
compression parents are sent before any delta hunks that depend
2133
on them.
2134
(Martin Pool, #164637)
2135
2136
* Fix typo in limiting offsets coalescing for http, leading to
2137
whole files being downloaded instead of parts.
2138
(Vincent Ladeuil, #165061)
2139
2140
* FTP server errors don't error in the error handling code.
2141
(Robert Collins, #161240)
2142
2143
* Give a clearer message when a pull fails because the source needs
2144
to be reconciled.
2145
(Martin Pool, #164443)
2146
2147
* It is clearer when a plugin cannot be loaded because of its name, and a
2148
suggestion for an acceptable name is given. (Daniel Watkins, #103023)
2149
2150
* Leave port as None in transport objects if user doesn't
2151
specify a port in urls.
2152
(vincent Ladeuil, #150860)
2153
2154
* Make sure Repository.fetch(self) is properly a no-op for all
2155
Repository implementations. (John Arbash Meinel, #158333)
2156
2157
* Mark .bzr directories as "hidden" on Windows.
2158
(Alexander Belchenko, #71147)
2159
2160
* ``merge --uncommitted`` can now operate on a single file.
2161
(Aaron Bentley, Lukáš Lalinský, #136890)
2162
2163
* Obsolete packs are now cleaned up by pack and autopack operations.
2164
(Robert Collins, #153789)
2165
2166
* Operations pulling data from a smart server where the underlying
2167
repositories are not both annotated/both unannotated will now work.
2168
(Robert Collins, #165304).
2169
2170
* Reconcile now shows progress bars. (Robert Collins, #159351)
2171
2172
* ``RemoteBranch`` was not initializing ``self._revision_id_to_revno_map``
2173
properly. (John Arbash Meinel, #162486)
2174
2175
* Removing an already-removed file reports the file does not exist. (Daniel
2176
Watkins, #152811)
2177
2178
* Rename on Windows is able to change filename case.
2179
(Alexander Belchenko, #77740)
2180
2181
* Return error instead of a traceback for ``bzr log -r0``.
2182
(Kent Gibson, #133751)
2183
2184
* Return error instead of a traceback when bzr is unable to create
2185
symlink on some platforms (e.g. on Windows).
2186
(Alexander Belchenko, workaround for #81689)
2187
2188
* Revert doesn't crash when restoring a single file from a deleted
2189
directory. (Aaron Bentley)
2190
2191
* Stderr output via logging mechanism now goes through encoded wrapper
2192
and no more uses utf-8, but terminal encoding instead. So all unicode
2193
strings now should be readable in non-utf-8 terminal.
2194
(Alexander Belchenko, #54173)
2195
2196
* The error message when ``move --after`` should be used makes how to do so
2197
clearer. (Daniel Watkins, #85237)
2198
2199
* Unicode-safe output from ``bzr info``. The output will be encoded
2200
using the terminal encoding and unrepresentable characters will be
2201
replaced by '?'. (Lukáš Lalinský, #151844)
2202
2203
* Working trees are no longer created when pushing into a local no-trees
2204
repo. (Daniel Watkins, #50582)
2205
2206
* Upgrade util/configobj to version 4.4.0.
2207
(Vincent Ladeuil, #151208).
2208
2209
* Wrap medusa ftp test server as an FTPServer feature.
2210
(Vincent Ladeuil, #157752)
2211
2212
API BREAKS:
2213
2214
* ``osutils.backup_file`` is deprecated. Actually it's not used in bzrlib
2215
during very long time. (Alexander Belchenko)
2216
2217
* The return value of
2218
``VersionedFile.iter_lines_added_or_present_in_versions`` has been
2219
changed. Previously it was an iterator of lines, now it is an iterator of
2220
(line, version_id) tuples. This change has been made to aid reconcile and
2221
fetch operations. (Robert Collins)
2222
2223
* ``bzrlib.repository.get_versioned_file_checker`` is now private.
2224
(Robert Collins)
2225
2226
* The Repository format registry default has been removed; it was previously
2227
obsoleted by the bzrdir format default, which implies a default repository
2228
format.
2229
(Martin Pool)
2230
2231
INTERNALS:
2232
2233
* Added ``ContainerSerialiser`` and ``ContainerPushParser`` to
2234
``bzrlib.pack``. These classes provide more convenient APIs for generating
2235
and parsing containers from streams rather than from files. (Andrew
2236
Bennetts)
2237
2238
* New module ``lru_cache`` providing a cache for use by tasks that need
2239
semi-random access to large amounts of data. (John A Meinel)
2240
2241
* InventoryEntry.diff is now deprecated. Please use diff.DiffTree instead.

2257
NOTES WHEN UPGRADING:
2258
2259
CHANGES:
2260
2261
* ``bzr`` now returns exit code 4 if an internal error occurred, and
2262
3 if a normal error occurred. (Martin Pool)
2263
2264
* ``pull``, ``merge`` and ``push`` will no longer silently correct some
2265
repository index errors that occured as a result of the Weave disk format.
2266
Instead the ``reconcile`` command needs to be run to correct those
2267
problems if they exist (and it has been able to fix most such problems
2268
since bzr 0.8). Some new problems have been identified during this release
2269
and you should run ``bzr check`` once on every repository to see if you
2270
need to reconcile. If you cannot ``pull`` or ``merge`` from a remote
2271
repository due to mismatched parent errors - a symptom of index errors -
2272
you should simply take a full copy of that remote repository to a clean
2273
directory outside any local repositories, then run reconcile on it, and
2274
finally pull from it locally. (And naturally email the repositories owner
2275
to ask them to upgrade and run reconcile).
2276
(Robert Collins)
2277
2278
FEATURES:
2279
2280
* New ``knitpack-experimental`` repository format. This is interoperable with
2281
the ``dirstate-tags`` format but uses a smarter storage design that greatly
2282
speeds up many operations, both local and remote. This new format can be
2283
used as an option to the ``init``, ``init-repository`` and ``upgrade``
2284
commands. See http://doc.bazaar-vcs.org/0.92/developers/knitpack.html
2285
for further details. (Robert Collins)
2286
2287
* For users of bzr-svn (and those testing the prototype subtree support) that
2288
wish to try packs, a new ``knitpack-subtree-experimental`` format has also
2289
been added. This is interoperable with the ``dirstate-subtrees`` format.
2290
(Robert Collins)
2291
2292
* New ``reconfigure`` command. (Aaron Bentley)
2293
2294
* New ``revert --forget-merges`` command, which removes the record of a pending
2295
merge without affecting the working tree contents. (Martin Pool)
2296
2297
* New ``bzr_remote_path`` configuration variable allows finer control of
2298
remote bzr locations than BZR_REMOTE_PATH environment variable.
2299
(Aaron Bentley)
2300
2301
* New ``launchpad-login`` command to tell Bazaar your Launchpad
2302
user ID. This can then be used by other functions of the
2303
Launchpad plugin. (James Henstridge)
2304
2305
PERFORMANCE:
2306
2307
* Commit in quiet mode is now slightly faster as the information to
2308
output is no longer calculated. (Ian Clatworthy)
2309
2310
* Commit no longer checks for new text keys during insertion when the
2311
revision id was deterministically unique. (Robert Collins)
2312
2313
* Committing a change which is not a merge and does not change the number of
2314
files in the tree is faster by utilising the data about whether files are
2315
changed to determine if the tree is unchanged rather than recalculating
2316
it at the end of the commit process. (Robert Collins)
2317
2318
* Inventory serialisation no longer double-sha's the content.
2319
(Robert Collins)
2320
2321
* Knit text reconstruction now avoids making copies of the lines list for
2322
interim texts when building a single text. The new ``apply_delta`` method
2323
on ``KnitContent`` aids this by allowing modification of the revision id
2324
such objects represent. (Robert Collins)
2325
2326
* Pack indices are now partially parsed for specific key lookup using a
2327
bisection approach. (Robert Collins)
2328
2329
* Partial commits are now approximately 40% faster by walking over the
2330
unselected current tree more efficiently. (Robert Collins)
2331
2332
* XML inventory serialisation takes 20% less time while being stricter about
2333
the contents. (Robert Collins)
2334
2335
* Graph ``heads()`` queries have been fixed to no longer access all history
2336
unnecessarily. (Robert Collins)
2337
2338
IMPROVEMENTS:
2339
2340
* ``bzr+https://`` smart server across https now supported.
2341
(John Ferlito, Martin Pool, #128456)
2342
2343
* Mutt is now a supported mail client; set ``mail_client=mutt`` in your
2344
bazaar.conf and ``send`` will use mutt. (Keir Mierle)
2345
2346
* New option ``-c``/``--change`` for ``merge`` command for cherrypicking
2347
changes from one revision. (Alexander Belchenko, #141368)
2348
2349
* Show encodings, locale and list of plugins in the traceback message.
2350
(Martin Pool, #63894)
2351
2352
* Experimental directory formats can now be marked with
2353
``experimental = True`` during registration. (Ian Clatworthy)
2354
2355
DOCUMENTATION:
2356
2357
* New *Bazaar in Five Minutes* guide. (Matthew Revell)
2358
2359
* The hooks reference documentation is now converted to html as expected.
2360
(Ian Clatworthy)
2361
2362
BUG FIXES:
2363
2364
* Connection error reporting for the smart server has been fixed to
2365
display a user friendly message instead of a traceback.
2366
(Ian Clatworthy, #115601)
2367
2368
* Make sure to use ``O_BINARY`` when opening files to check their
2369
sha1sum. (Alexander Belchenko, John Arbash Meinel, #153493)
2370
2371
* Fix a problem with Win32 handling of the executable bit.
2372
(John Arbash Meinel, #149113)
2373
2374
* ``bzr+ssh://`` and ``sftp://`` URLs that do not specify ports explicitly
2375
no longer assume that means port 22. This allows people using OpenSSH to
2376
override the default port in their ``~/.ssh/config`` if they wish. This
2377
fixes a bug introduced in bzr 0.91. (Andrew Bennetts, #146715)
2378
2379
* Commands reporting exceptions can now be profiled and still have their
2380
data correctly dumped to a file. For example, a ``bzr commit`` with
2381
no changes still reports the operation as pointless but doing so no
2382
longer throws away the profiling data if this command is run with
2383
``--lsprof-file callgrind.out.ci`` say. (Ian Clatworthy)
2384
2385
* Fallback to ftp when paramiko is not installed and sftp can't be used for
2386
``tests/commands`` so that the test suite is still usable without
2387
paramiko.
2388
(Vincent Ladeuil, #59150)
2389
2390
* Fix commit ordering in corner case. (Aaron Bentley, #94975)
2391
2392
* Fix long standing bug in partial commit when there are renames
2393
left in tree. (Robert Collins, #140419)
2394
2395
* Fix selftest semi-random noise during http related tests.
2396
(Vincent Ladeuil, #140614)
2397
2398
* Fix typo in ftp.py making the reconnection fail on temporary errors.
2399
(Vincent Ladeuil, #154259)
2400
2401
* Fix failing test by comparing real paths to cover the case where the TMPDIR
2402
contains a symbolic link.
2403
(Vincent Ladeuil, #141382).
2404
2405
* Fix log against smart server branches that don't support tags.
2406
(James Westby, #140615)
2407
2408
* Fix pycurl http implementation by defining error codes from
2409
pycurl instead of relying on an old curl definition.
2410
(Vincent Ladeuil, #147530)
2411
2412
* Fix 'unprintable error' message when displaying BzrCheckError and
2413
some other exceptions on Python 2.5.
2414
(Martin Pool, #144633)
2415
2416
* Fix ``Inventory.copy()`` and add test for it. (Jelmer Vernooij)
2417
2418
* Handles default value for ListOption in cmd_commit.
2419
(Vincent Ladeuil, #140432)
2420
2421
* HttpServer and FtpServer need to be closed properly or a listening socket
2422
will remain opened.
2423
(Vincent Ladeuil, #140055)
2424
2425
* Monitor the .bzr directory created in the top level test
2426
directory to detect leaking tests.
2427
(Vincent Ladeuil, #147986)
2428
2429
* The basename, not the full path, is now used when checking whether
2430
the profiling dump file begins with ``callgrind.out`` or not. This
2431
fixes a bug reported by Aaron Bentley on IRC. (Ian Clatworthy)
2432
2433
* Trivial fix for invoking command ``reconfigure`` without arguments.
2434
(Rob Weir, #141629)
2435
2436
* ``WorkingTree.rename_one`` will now raise an error if normalisation of the
2437
new path causes bzr to be unable to access the file. (Robert Collins)
2438
2439
* Correctly detect a NoSuchFile when using a filezilla server. (Gary van der
2440
Merwe)
2441
2442
API BREAKS:
2443
2444
* ``bzrlib.index.GraphIndex`` now requires a size parameter to the
2445
constructor, for enabling bisection searches. (Robert Collins)
2446
2447
* ``CommitBuilder.record_entry_contents`` now requires the root entry of a
2448
tree be supplied to it, previously failing to do so would trigger a
2449
deprecation warning. (Robert Collins)
2450
2451
* ``KnitVersionedFile.add*`` will no longer cache added records even when
2452
enable_cache() has been called - the caching feature is now exclusively for
2453
reading existing data. (Robert Collins)
2454
2455
* ``ReadOnlyLockError`` is deprecated; ``LockFailed`` is usually more
2456
appropriate. (Martin Pool)
2457
2458
* Removed ``bzrlib.transport.TransportLogger`` - please see the new
2459
``trace+`` transport instead. (Robert Collins)
2460
2461
* Removed previously deprecated varargs interface to ``TestCase.run_bzr`` and
2462
deprecated methods ``TestCase.capture`` and ``TestCase.run_bzr_captured``.
2463
(Martin Pool)
2464
2465
* Removed previous deprecated ``basis_knit`` parameter to the
2466
``KnitVersionedFile`` constructor. (Robert Collins)
2467
2468
* Special purpose method ``TestCase.run_bzr_decode`` is moved to the test_non_ascii
2469
class that needs it.
2470
(Martin Pool)
2471
2472
* The class ``bzrlib.repofmt.knitrepo.KnitRepository3`` has been folded into
2473
``KnitRepository`` by parameters to the constructor. (Robert Collins)
2474
2475
* The ``VersionedFile`` interface now allows content checks to be bypassed
2476
by supplying check_content=False. This saves nearly 30% of the minimum
2477
cost to store a version of a file. (Robert Collins)
2478
2479
* Tree's with bad state such as files with no length or sha will no longer
2480
be silently accepted by the repository XML serialiser. To serialise
2481
inventories without such data, pass working=True to write_inventory.
2482
(Robert Collins)
2483
2484
* ``VersionedFile.fix_parents`` has been removed as a harmful API.
2485
``VersionedFile.join`` will no longer accept different parents on either
2486
side of a join - it will either ignore them, or error, depending on the
2487
implementation. See notes when upgrading for more information.
2488
(Robert Collins)
2489
2490
INTERNALS:
2491
2492
* ``bzrlib.transport.Transport.put_file`` now returns the number of bytes
2493
put by the method call, to allow avoiding stat-after-write or
2494
housekeeping in callers. (Robert Collins)
2495
2496
* ``bzrlib.xml_serializer.Serializer`` is now responsible for checking that
2497
mandatory attributes are present on serialisation and deserialisation.
2498
This fixes some holes in API usage and allows better separation between
2499
physical storage and object serialisation. (Robert Collins)
2500
2501
* New class ``bzrlib.errors.InternalBzrError`` which is just a convenient
2502
shorthand for deriving from BzrError and setting internal_error = True.
2503
(Robert Collins)
2504
2505
* New method ``bzrlib.mutabletree.update_to_one_parent_via_delta`` for
2506
moving the state of a parent tree to a new version via a delta rather than
2507
a complete replacement tree. (Robert Collins)
2508
2509
* New method ``bzrlib.osutils.minimum_path_selection`` useful for removing
2510
duplication from user input, when a user mentions both a path and an item
2511
contained within that path. (Robert Collins)
2512
2513
* New method ``bzrlib.repository.Repository.is_write_locked`` useful for
2514
determining if a repository is write locked. (Robert Collins)
2515
2516
* New method on ``bzrlib.tree.Tree`` ``path_content_summary`` provides a
2517
tuple containing the key information about a path for commit processing
2518
to complete. (Robert Collins)
2519
2520
* New method on xml serialisers, write_inventory_to_lines, which matches the
2521
API used by knits for adding content. (Robert Collins)
2522
2523
* New module ``bzrlib.bisect_multi`` with generic multiple-bisection-at-once
2524
logic, currently only available for byte-based lookup
2525
(``bisect_multi_bytes``). (Robert Collins)
2526
2527
* New helper ``bzrlib.tuned_gzip.bytes_to_gzip`` which takes a byte string
2528
and returns a gzipped version of the same. This is used to avoid a bunch
2529
of api friction during adding of knit hunks. (Robert Collins)
2530
2531
* New parameter on ``bzrlib.transport.Transport.readv``
2532
``adjust_for_latency`` which changes readv from returning strictly the
2533
requested data to inserted return larger ranges and in forward read order
2534
to reduce the effect of network latency. (Robert Collins)
2535
2536
* New parameter yield_parents on ``Inventory.iter_entries_by_dir`` which
2537
causes the parents of a selected id to be returned recursively, so all the
2538
paths from the root down to each element of selected_file_ids are
2539
returned. (Robert Collins)
2540
2541
* Knit joining has been enhanced to support plain to annotated conversion
2542
and annotated to plain conversion. (Ian Clatworthy)
2543
2544
* The CommitBuilder method ``record_entry_contents`` now returns summary
2545
information about the effect of the commit on the repository. This tuple
2546
contains an inventory delta item if the entry changed from the basis, and a
2547
boolean indicating whether a new file graph node was recorded.
2548
(Robert Collins)
2549
2550
* The python path used in the Makefile can now be overridden.
2551
(Andrew Bennetts, Ian Clatworthy)
2552
2553
TESTING:
2554
2555
* New transport implementation ``trace+`` which is useful for testing,
2556
logging activity taken to its _activity attribute. (Robert Collins)
2557
2558
* When running bzr commands within the test suite, internal exceptions are
2559
not caught and reported in the usual way, but rather allowed to propagate
2560
up and be visible to the test suite. A new API ``run_bzr_catch_user_errors``
2561
makes this behavior available to other users.
2562
(Martin Pool)
2563
2564
* New method ``TestCase.call_catch_warnings`` for testing methods that
2565
raises a Python warning. (Martin Pool)
2566
2567
2568
bzr 0.91 2007-09-26
2569
-------------------
2570
2571
BUG FIXES:
2572
2573
* Print a warning instead of aborting the ``python setup.py install``
2574
process if building of a C extension is not possible.
2575
(Lukáš Lalinský, Alexander Belchenko)
2576
2577
* Fix commit ordering in corner case (Aaron Bentley, #94975)
2578
2579
* Fix ''bzr info bzr://host/'' and other operations on ''bzr://' URLs with
2580
an implicit port. We were incorrectly raising PathNotChild due to
2581
inconsistent treatment of the ''_port'' attribute on the Transport object.
2582
(Andrew Bennetts, #133965)
2583
2584
* Make RemoteRepository.sprout cope gracefully with servers that don't
2585
support the ``Repository.tarball`` request.
2586
(Andrew Bennetts)
2587
2588
2589
bzr 0.91rc2 2007-09-11
2590
----------------------
2591
2592
* Replaced incorrect tarball for previous release; a debug statement was left
2593
in bzrlib/remote.py.
2594
2595
2596
bzr 0.91rc1 2007-09-11
2597
----------------------
2598
2599
CHANGES:
2600
2601
* The default branch and repository format has changed to
2602
``dirstate-tags``, so tag commands are active by default.
2603
This format is compatible with Bazaar 0.15 and later.
2604
This incidentally fixes bug #126141.
2605
(Martin Pool)
2606
2607
* ``--quiet`` or ``-q`` is no longer a global option. If present, it
2608
must now appear after the command name. Scripts doing things like
2609
``bzr -q missing`` need to be rewritten as ``bzr missing -q``.
2610
(Ian Clatworthy)
2611
2612
FEATURES:
2613
2614
* New option ``--author`` in ``bzr commit`` to specify the author of the
2615
change, if it's different from the committer. ``bzr log`` and
2616
``bzr annotate`` display the author instead of the committer.
2617
(Lukáš Lalinský)
2618
2619
* In addition to global options and command specific options, a set of
2620
standard options are now supported. Standard options are legal for
2621
all commands. The initial set of standard options are:
2622
2623
* ``--help`` or ``-h`` - display help message
2624
* ``--verbose`` or ``-v`` - display additional information
2625
* ``--quiet`` or ``-q`` - only output warnings and errors.
2626
2627
Unlike global options, standard options can be used in aliases and
2628
may have command-specific help. (Ian Clatworthy)
2629
2630
* Verbosity level processing has now been unified. If ``--verbose``
2631
or ``-v`` is specified on the command line multiple times, the
2632
verbosity level is made positive the first time then increased.
2633
If ``--quiet`` or ``-q`` is specified on the command line
2634
multiple times, the verbosity level is made negative the first
2635
time then decreased. To get the default verbosity level of zero,
2636
either specify none of the above , ``--no-verbose`` or ``--no-quiet``.
2637
Note that most commands currently ignore the magnitude of the
2638
verbosity level but do respect *quiet vs normal vs verbose* when
2639
generating output. (Ian Clatworthy)
2640
2641
* ``Branch.hooks`` now supports ``pre_commit`` hook. The hook's signature
2642
is documented in BranchHooks constructor. (Nam T. Nguyen, #102747)
2643
2644
* New ``Repository.stream_knit_data_for_revisions`` request added to the
2645
network protocol for greatly reduced roundtrips when retrieving a set of
2646
revisions. (Andrew Bennetts)
2647
2648
BUG FIXES:
2649
2650
* ``bzr plugins`` now lists the version number for each plugin in square
2651
brackets after the path. (Robert Collins, #125421)
2652
2653
* Pushing, pulling and branching branches with subtree references was not
2654
copying the subtree weave, preventing the file graph from being accessed
2655
and causing errors in commits in clones. (Robert Collins)
2656
2657
* Suppress warning "integer argument expected, got float" from Paramiko,
2658
which sometimes caused false test failures. (Martin Pool)
2659
2660
* Fix bug in bundle 4 that could cause attempts to write data to wrong
2661
versionedfile. (Aaron Bentley)
2662
2663
* Diffs generated using "diff -p" no longer break the patch parser.
2664
(Aaron Bentley)
2665
2666
* get_transport treats an empty possible_transports list the same as a non-
2667
empty one. (Aaron Bentley)
2668
2669
* patch verification for merge directives is reactivated, and works with
2670
CRLF and CR files. (Aaron Bentley)
2671
2672
* Accept ..\ as a path in revision specifiers. This fixes for example
2673
"-r branch:..\other-branch" on Windows. (Lukáš Lalinský)
2674
2675
* ``BZR_PLUGIN_PATH`` may now contain trailing slashes.
2676
(Blake Winton, #129299)
2677
2678
* man page no longer lists hidden options (#131667, Aaron Bentley)
2679
2680
* ``uncommit --help`` now explains the -r option adequately. (Daniel
2681
Watkins, #106726)
2682
2683
* Error messages are now better formatted with parameters (such as
2684
filenames) quoted when necessary. This avoids confusion when directory
2685
names ending in a '.' at the end of messages were confused with a
2686
full stop that may or not have been there. (Daniel Watkins, #129791)
2687
2688
* Fix ``status FILE -r X..Y``. (Lukáš Lalinský)
2689
2690
* If a particular command is an alias, ``help`` will show the alias
2691
instead of claiming there is no help for said alias. (Daniel Watkins,
2692
#133548)
2693
2694
* TreeTransform-based operations, like pull, merge, revert, and branch,
2695
now roll back if they encounter an error. (Aaron Bentley, #67699)
2696
2697
* ``bzr commit`` now exits cleanly if a character unsupported by the
2698
current encoding is used in the commit message. (Daniel Watkins,
2699
#116143)
2700
2701
* bzr send uses default values for ranges when only half of an elipsis
2702
is specified ("-r..5" or "-r5.."). (#61685, Aaron Bentley)
2703
2704
* Avoid trouble when Windows ssh calls itself 'plink' but no plink
2705
binary is present. (Martin Albisetti, #107155)
2706
2707
* ``bzr remove`` should remove clean subtrees. Now it will remove (without
2708
needing ``--force``) subtrees that contain no files with text changes or
2709
modified files. With ``--force`` it removes the subtree regardless of
2710
text changes or unknown files. Directories with renames in or out (but
2711
not changed otherwise) will now be removed without needing ``--force``.
2712
Unknown ignored files will be deleted without needing ``--force``.
2713
(Marius Kruger, #111665)
2714
2715
* When two plugins conflict, the source of both the losing and now the
2716
winning definition is shown. (Konstantin Mikhaylov, #5454)
2717
2718
* When committing to a branch, the location being committed to is
2719
displayed. (Daniel Watkins, #52479)
2720
2721
* ``bzr --version`` takes care about encoding of stdout, especially
2722
when output is redirected. (Alexander Belchenko, #131100)
2723
2724
* Prompt for an ftp password if none is provided.
2725
(Vincent Ladeuil, #137044)
2726
2727
* Reuse bound branch associated transport to avoid multiple
2728
connections.
2729
(Vincent Ladeuil, #128076, #131396)
2730
2731
* Overwrite conflicting tags by ``push`` and ``pull`` if the
2732
``--overwrite`` option is specified. (Lukáš Lalinský, #93947)
2733
2734
* In checkouts, tags are copied into the master branch when created,
2735
changed or deleted, and are copied into the checkout when it is
2736
updated. (Martin Pool, #93856, #93860)
2737
2738
* Print a warning instead of aborting the ``python setup.py install``
2739
process if building of a C extension is not possible.
2740
(Lukáš Lalinský, Alexander Belchenko)
2741
2742
IMPROVEMENTS:
2743
2744
* Add the option "--show-diff" to the commit command in order to display
2745
the diff during the commit log creation. (Goffredo Baroncelli)
2746
2747
* ``pull`` and ``merge`` are much faster at installing bundle format 4.
2748
(Aaron Bentley)
2749
2750
* ``pull -v`` no longer includes deltas, making it much faster.
2751
(Aaron Bentley)
2752
2753
* ``send`` now sends the directive as an attachment by default.
2754
(Aaron Bentley, Lukáš Lalinský, Alexander Belchenko)
2755
2756
* Documentation updates (Martin Albisetti)
2757
2758
* Help on debug flags is now included in ``help global-options``.
2759
(Daniel Watkins, #124853)
2760
2761
* Parameters passed on the command line are checked to ensure they are
2762
supported by the encoding in use. (Daniel Watkins)
2763
2764
* The compression used within the bzr repository has changed from zlib
2765
level 9 to the zlib default level. This improves commit performance with
2766
only a small increase in space used (and in some cases a reduction in
2767
space). (Robert Collins)
2768
2769
* Initial commit no longer SHAs files twice and now reuses the path
2770
rather than looking it up again, making it faster.
2771
(Ian Clatworthy)
2772
2773
* New option ``-c``/``--change`` for ``diff`` and ``status`` to show
2774
changes in one revision. (Lukáš Lalinský)
2775
2776
* If versioned files match a given ignore pattern, a warning is now
2777
given. (Daniel Watkins, #48623)
2778
2779
* ``bzr status`` now has -S as a short name for --short and -V as a
2780
short name for --versioned. These have been added to assist users
2781
migrating from Subversion: ``bzr status -SV`` is now like
2782
``svn status -q``. (Daniel Watkins, #115990)
2783
2784
* Added C implementation of ``PatienceSequenceMatcher``, which is about
2785
10x faster than the Python version. This speeds up commands that
2786
need file diffing, such as ``bzr commit`` or ``bzr diff``.
2787
(Lukáš Lalinský)
2788
2789
* HACKING has been extended with a large section on core developer tasks.
2790
(Ian Clatworthy)
2791
2792
* Add ``branches`` and ``standalone-trees`` as online help topics and
2793
include them as Concepts within the User Reference.
2794
(Paul Moore, Ian Clatworthy)
2795
2796
* ``check`` can detect versionedfile parent references that are
2797
inconsistent with revision and inventory info, and ``reconcile`` can fix
2798
them. These faulty references were generated by 0.8-era releases,
2799
so repositories which were manipulated by old bzrs should be
2800
checked, and possibly reconciled ASAP. (Aaron Bentley, Andrew Bennetts)
2801
2802
API BREAKS:
2803
2804
* ``Branch.append_revision`` is removed altogether; please use
2805
``Branch.set_last_revision_info`` instead. (Martin Pool)
2806
2807
* CommitBuilder now advertises itself as requiring the root entry to be
2808
supplied. This only affects foreign repository implementations which reuse
2809
CommitBuilder directly and have changed record_entry_contents to require
2810
that the root not be supplied. This should be precisely zero plugins
2811
affected. (Robert Collins)
2812
2813
* The ``add_lines`` methods on ``VersionedFile`` implementations has changed
2814
its return value to include the sha1 and length of the inserted text. This
2815
allows the avoidance of double-sha1 calculations during commit.
2816
(Robert Collins)
2817
2818
* ``Transport.should_cache`` has been removed. It was not called in the
2819
previous release. (Martin Pool)
2820
2821
TESTING:
2822
2823
* Tests may now raise TestNotApplicable to indicate they shouldn't be
2824
run in a particular scenario. (Martin Pool)
2825
2826
* New function multiply_tests_from_modules to give a simpler interface
2827
to test parameterization. (Martin Pool, Robert Collins)
2828
2829
* ``Transport.should_cache`` has been removed. It was not called in the
2830
previous release. (Martin Pool)
2831
2832
* NULL_REVISION is returned to indicate the null revision, not None.
2833
(Aaron Bentley)
2834
2835
* Use UTF-8 encoded StringIO for log tests to avoid failures on
2836
non-ASCII committer names. (Lukáš Lalinský)
2837
2838
INTERNALS:
2839
2840
* ``bzrlib.plugin.all_plugins`` has been deprecated in favour of
2841
``bzrlib.plugin.plugins()`` which returns PlugIn objects that provide
2842
useful functionality for determining the path of a plugin, its tests, and
2843
its version information. (Robert Collins)
2844
2845
* Add the option user_encoding to the function 'show_diff_trees()'
2846
in order to move the user encoding at the UI level. (Goffredo Baroncelli)
2847
2848
* Add the function make_commit_message_template_encoded() and the function
2849
edit_commit_message_encoded() which handle encoded strings.
2850
This is done in order to mix the commit messages (which is a unicode
2851
string), and the diff which is a raw string. (Goffredo Baroncelli)
2852
2853
* CommitBuilder now defaults to using add_lines_with_ghosts, reducing
2854
overhead on non-weave repositories which don't require all parents to be
2855
present. (Robert Collins)
2856
2857
* Deprecated method ``find_previous_heads`` on
2858
``bzrlib.inventory.InventoryEntry``. This has been superseded by the use
2859
of ``parent_candidates`` and a separate heads check via the repository
2860
API. (Robert Collins)
2861
2862
* New trace function ``mutter_callsite`` will print out a subset of the
2863
stack to the log, which can be useful for gathering debug details.
2864
(Robert Collins)
2865
2866
* ``bzrlib.pack.ContainerWriter`` now tracks how many records have been
2867
added via a public attribute records_written. (Robert Collins)
2868
2869
* New method ``bzrlib.transport.Transport.get_recommended_page_size``.
2870
This provides a hint to users of transports as to the reasonable
2871
minimum data to read. In principle this can take latency and
2872
bandwidth into account on a per-connection basis, but for now it
2873
just has hard coded values based on the url. (e.g. http:// has a large
2874
page size, file:// has a small one.) (Robert Collins)
2875
2876
* New method on ``bzrlib.transport.Transport`` ``open_write_stream`` allows
2877
incremental addition of data to a file without requiring that all the
2878
data be buffered in memory. (Robert Collins)
2879
2880
* New methods on ``bzrlib.knit.KnitVersionedFile``:
2881
``get_data_stream(versions)``, ``insert_data_stream(stream)`` and
2882
``get_format_signature()``. These provide some infrastructure for
2883
efficiently streaming the knit data for a set of versions over the smart
2884
protocol.
2885
2886
* Knits with no annotation cache still produce correct annotations.
2887
(Aaron Bentley)
2888
2889
* Three new methods have been added to ``bzrlib.trace``:
2890
``set_verbosity_level``, ``get_verbosity_level`` and ``is_verbose``.
2891
``set_verbosity_level`` expects a numeric value: negative for quiet,
2892
zero for normal, positive for verbose. The size of the number can be
2893
used to determine just how quiet or verbose the application should be.
2894
The existing ``be_quiet`` and ``is_quiet`` routines have been
2895
integrated into this new scheme. (Ian Clatworthy)
2896
2897
* Options can now be delcared with a ``custom_callback`` parameter. If
2898
set, this routine is called after the option is processed. This feature
2899
is now used by the standard options ``verbose`` and ``quiet`` so that
2900
setting one implicitly resets the other. (Ian Clatworthy)
2901
2902
* Rather than declaring a new option from scratch in order to provide
2903
custom help, a centrally registered option can be decorated using the
2904
new ``bzrlib.Option.custom_help`` routine. In particular, this routine
2905
is useful when declaring better help for the ``verbose`` and ``quiet``
2906
standard options as the base definition of these is now more complex
2907
than before thanks to their use of a custom callback. (Ian Clatworthy)
2908
2909
* Tree._iter_changes(specific_file=[]) now iterates through no files,
2910
instead of iterating through all files. None is used to iterate through
2911
all files. (Aaron Bentley)
2912
2913
* WorkingTree.revert() now accepts None to revert all files. The use of
2914
[] to revert all files is deprecated. (Aaron Bentley)

2918
-------------------
2919
2920
IMPROVEMENTS:
2921
2922
* Documentation is now organized into multiple directories with a level
2923
added for different languages or locales. Added the Mini Tutorial
2924
and Quick Start Summary (en) documents from the Wiki, improving the
2925
content and readability of the former. Formatted NEWS as Release Notes
2926
complete with a Table of Conents, one heading per release. Moved the
2927
Developer Guide into the main document catalog and provided a link
2928
from the developer document catalog back to the main one.
2929
(Ian Clatworthy, Sabin Iacob, Alexander Belchenko)
2930
2931
2932
API CHANGES:
2933
2934
* The static convenience method ``BzrDir.create_repository``
2935
is deprecated. Callers should instead create a ``BzrDir`` instance
2936
and call ``create_repository`` on that. (Martin Pool)
2937
2938
2939
bzr 0.90rc1 2007-08-14
2940
----------------------
2941
2942
BUGFIXES:
2943
2944
* ``bzr init`` should connect to the remote location one time only. We
2945
have been connecting several times because we forget to pass around the
2946
Transport object. This modifies ``BzrDir.create_branch_convenience``,
2947
so that we can give it the Transport we already have.
2948
(John Arbash Meinel, Vincent Ladeuil, #111702)
2949
2950
* Get rid of sftp connection cache (get rid of the FTP one too).
2951
(Vincent Ladeuil, #43731)
2952
2953
* bzr branch {local|remote} remote don't try to create a working tree
2954
anymore.
2955
(Vincent Ladeuil, #112173)
2956
2957
* All identified multiple connections for a single bzr command have been
2958
fixed. See bzrlib/tests/commands directory.
2959
(Vincent Ladeuil)
2960
2961
* ``bzr rm`` now does not insist on ``--force`` to delete files that
2962
have been renamed but not otherwise modified. (Marius Kruger,
2963
#111664)
2964
2965
* ``bzr selftest --bench`` no longer emits deprecation warnings
2966
(Lukáš Lalinský)
2967
2968
* ``bzr status`` now honours FILE parameters for conflict lists
2969
(Aaron Bentley, #127606)
2970
2971
* ``bzr checkout`` now honours -r when reconstituting a working tree.
2972
It also honours -r 0. (Aaron Bentley, #127708)
2973
2974
* ``bzr add *`` no more fails on Windows if working tree contains
2975
non-ascii file names. (Kuno Meyer, #127361)
2976
2977
* allow ``easy_install bzr`` runs without fatal errors.
2978
(Alexander Belchenko, #125521)
2979
2980
* Graph._filter_candidate_lca does not raise KeyError if a candidate
2981
is eliminated just before it would normally be examined. (Aaron Bentley)
2982
2983
* SMTP connection failures produce a nice message, not a traceback.
2984
(Aaron Bentley)
2985
2986
IMPROVEMENTS:
2987
2988
* Don't show "dots" progress indicators when run non-interactively, such
2989
as from cron. (Martin Pool)
2990
2991
* ``info`` now formats locations more nicely and lists "submit" and
2992
"public" branches (Aaron Bentley)
2993
2994
* New ``pack`` command that will trigger database compression within
2995
the repository (Robert Collins)
2996
2997
* Implement ``_KnitIndex._load_data`` in a pyrex extension. The pyrex
2998
version is approximately 2-3x faster at parsing a ``.kndx`` file.
2999
Which yields a measurable improvement for commands which have to
3000
read from the repository, such as a 1s => 0.75s improvement in
3001
``bzr diff`` when there are changes to be shown. (John Arbash Meinel)
3002
3003
* Merge is now faster. Depending on the scenario, it can be more than 2x
3004
faster. (Aaron Bentley)
3005
3006
* Give a clearer warning, and allow ``python setup.py install`` to
3007
succeed even if pyrex is not available.
3008
(John Arbash Meinel)
3009
3010
* ``DirState._read_dirblocks`` now has an optional Pyrex
3011
implementation. This improves the speed of any command that has to
3012
read the entire DirState. (``diff``, ``status``, etc, improve by
3013
about 10%).
3014
``bisect_dirblocks`` has also been improved, which helps all
3015
``_get_entry`` type calls (whenever we are searching for a
3016
particular entry in the in-memory DirState).
3017
(John Arbash Meinel)
3018
3019
* ``bzr pull`` and ``bzr push`` no longer do a complete walk of the
3020
branch revision history for ui display unless -v is supplied.
3021
(Robert Collins)
3022
3023
* ``bzr log -rA..B`` output shifted to the left margin if the log only
3024
contains merge revisions. (Kent Gibson)
3025
3026
* The ``plugins`` command is now public with improved help.
3027
(Ian Clatworthy)
3028
3029
* New bundle and merge directive formats are faster to generate, and
3030
3031
* Annotate merge now works when there are local changes. (Aaron Bentley)
3032
3033
* Commit now only shows the progress in terms of directories instead of
3034
entries. (Ian Clatworthy)
3035
3036
* Fix ``KnitRepository.get_revision_graph`` to not request the graph 2
3037
times. This makes ``get_revision_graph`` 2x faster. (John Arbash
3038
Meinel)
3039
3040
* Fix ``VersionedFile.get_graph()`` to avoid using
3041
``set.difference_update(other)``, which has bad scaling when
3042
``other`` is large. This improves ``VF.get_graph([version_id])`` for
3043
a 12.5k graph from 2.9s down to 200ms. (John Arbash Meinel)
3044
3045
* The ``--lsprof-file`` option now generates output for KCacheGrind if
3046
the file starts with ``callgrind.out``. This matches the default file
3047
filtering done by KCacheGrind's Open Dialog. (Ian Clatworthy)
3048
3049
* Fix ``bzr update`` to avoid an unnecessary
3050
``branch.get_master_branch`` call, which avoids 1 extra connection
3051
to the remote server. (Partial fix for #128076, John Arbash Meinel)
3052
3053
* Log errors from the smart server in the trace file, to make debugging
3054
test failures (and live failures!) easier. (Andrew Bennetts)
3055
3056
* The HTML version of the man page has been superceded by a more
3057
comprehensive manual called the Bazaar User Reference. This manual
3058
is completed generated from the online help topics. As part of this
3059
change, limited reStructuredText is now explicitly supported in help
3060
topics and command help with 'unnatural' markup being removed prior
3061
to display by the online help or inclusion in the man page.
3062
(Ian Clatworthy)
3063
3064
* HTML documentation now use files extension ``*.html``
3065
(Alexander Belchenko)
3066
3067
* The cache of ignore definitions is now cleared in WorkingTree.unlock()
3068
so that changes to .bzrignore aren't missed. (#129694, Daniel Watkins)
3069
3070
* ``bzr selftest --strict`` fails if there are any missing features or
3071
expected test failures. (Daniel Watkins, #111914)
3072
3073
* Link to registration survey added to README. (Ian Clatworthy)
3074
3075
* Windows standalone installer show link to registration survey
3076
when installation finished. (Alexander Belchenko)
3077
3078
LIBRARY API BREAKS:
3079
3080
* Deprecated dictionary ``bzrlib.option.SHORT_OPTIONS`` removed.
3081
Options are now required to provide a help string and it must
3082
comply with the style guide by being one or more sentences with an
3083
initial capital and final period. (Martin Pool)
3084
3085
* KnitIndex.get_parents now returns tuples. (Robert Collins)
3086
3087
* Ancient unused ``Repository.text_store`` attribute has been removed.
3088
(Robert Collins)
3089
3090
* The ``bzrlib.pack`` interface has changed to use tuples of bytestrings
3091
rather than just bytestrings, making it easier to represent multiple
3092
element names. As this interface was not used by any internal facilities
3093
since it was introduced in 0.18 no API compatibility is being preserved.
3094
The serialised form of these packs is identical with 0.18 when a single
3095
element tuple is in use. (Robert Collins)
3096
3097
INTERNALS:
3098
3099
* merge now uses ``iter_changes`` to calculate changes, which makes room for
3100
future performance increases. It is also more consistent with other
3101
operations that perform comparisons, and reduces reliance on
3102
Tree.inventory. (Aaron Bentley)
3103
3104
* Refactoring of transport classes connected to a remote server.
3105
ConnectedTransport is a new class that serves as a basis for all
3106
transports needing to connect to a remote server. transport.split_url
3107
have been deprecated, use the static method on the object instead. URL
3108
tests have been refactored too.
3109
(Vincent Ladeuil)
3110
3111
* Better connection sharing for ConnectedTransport objects.
3112
transport.get_transport() now accepts a 'possible_transports' parameter.
3113
If a newly requested transport can share a connection with one of the
3114
list, it will.
3115
(Vincent Ladeuil)
3116
3117
* Most functions now accept ``bzrlib.revision.NULL_REVISION`` to indicate
3118
the null revision, and consider using ``None`` for this purpose
3119
deprecated. (Aaron Bentley)
3120
3121
* New ``index`` module with abstract index functionality. This will be
3122
used during the planned changes in the repository layer. Currently the
3123
index layer provides a graph aware immutable index, a builder for the
3124
same index type to allow creating them, and finally a composer for
3125
such indices to allow the use of many indices in a single query. The
3126
index performance is not optimised, however the API is stable to allow
3127
development on top of the index. (Robert Collins)
3128
3129
* ``bzrlib.dirstate.cmp_by_dirs`` can be used to compare two paths by
3130
their directory sections. This is equivalent to comparing
3131
``path.split('/')``, only without having to split the paths.
3132
This has a Pyrex implementation available.
3133
(John Arbash Meinel)
3134
3135
* New transport decorator 'unlistable+' which disables the list_dir
3136
functionality for testing.
3137
3138
* Deprecated ``change_entry`` in transform.py. (Ian Clatworthy)
3139
3140
* RevisionTree.get_weave is now deprecated. Tree.plan_merge is now used
3141
for performing annotate-merge. (Aaron Bentley)
3142
3143
* New EmailMessage class to create email messages. (Adeodato Simó)
3144
3145
* Unused functions on the private interface KnitIndex have been removed.
3146
(Robert Collins)
3147
3148
* New ``knit.KnitGraphIndex`` which provides a ``KnitIndex`` layered on top
3149
of a ``index.GraphIndex``. (Robert Collins)
3150
3151
* New ``knit.KnitVersionedFile.iter_parents`` method that allows querying
3152
the parents of many knit nodes at once, reducing round trips to the
3153
underlying index. (Robert Collins)
3154
3155
* Graph now has an is_ancestor method, various bits use it.
3156
(Aaron Bentley)
3157
3158
* The ``-Dhpss`` flag now includes timing information. As well as
3159
logging when a new connection is opened. (John Arbash Meinel)
3160
3161
* ``bzrlib.pack.ContainerWriter`` now returns an offset, length tuple to
3162
callers when inserting data, allowing generation of readv style access
3163
during pack creation, without needing a separate pass across the output
3164
pack to gather such details. (Robert Collins)
3165
3166
* ``bzrlib.pack.make_readv_reader`` allows readv based access to pack
3167
files that are stored on a transport. (Robert Collins)
3168
3169
* New ``Repository.has_same_location`` method that reports if two
3170
repository objects refer to the same repository (although with some risk
3171
of false negatives). (Andrew Bennetts)
3172
3173
* InterTree.compare now passes require_versioned on correctly.
3174
(Marius Kruger)
3175
3176
* New methods on Repository - ``start_write_group``,
3177
``commit_write_group``, ``abort_write_group`` and ``is_in_write_group`` -
3178
which provide a clean hook point for transactional Repositories - ones
3179
where all the data for a fetch or commit needs to be made atomically
3180
available in one step. This allows the write lock to remain while making
3181
a series of data insertions. (e.g. data conversion). (Robert Collins)
3182
3183
* In ``bzrlib.knit`` the internal interface has been altered to use
3184
3-tuples (index, pos, length) rather than two-tuples (pos, length) to
3185
describe where data in a knit is, allowing knits to be split into
3186
many files. (Robert Collins)
3187
3188
* ``bzrlib.knit._KnitData`` split into cache management and physical access
3189
with two access classes - ``_PackAccess`` and ``_KnitAccess`` defined.
3190
The former provides access into a .pack file, and the latter provides the
3191
current production repository form of .knit files. (Robert Collins)
3192
3193
TESTING:
3194
3195
* Remove selftest ``--clean-output``, ``--numbered-dirs`` and
3196
``--keep-output`` options, which are obsolete now that tests
3197
are done within directories in $TMPDIR. (Martin Pool)
3198
3199
* The SSH_AUTH_SOCK environment variable is now reset to avoid
3200
interaction with any running ssh agents. (Jelmer Vernooij, #125955)
3201
3202
* run_bzr_subprocess handles parameters the same way as run_bzr:
3203
either a string or a list of strings should be passed as the first
3204
parameter. Varargs-style parameters are deprecated. (Aaron Bentley)

3220
* Do not suppress pipe errors, etc. in non-display commands
3221
(Alexander Belchenko, #87178)
3222
3223

3224
a file that is not present in the specified revision.
3225
(James Westby, #122656)
3226

(Vincent Ladeuil, #102019).
3257
3258
* Warn when setting ``push_location`` to a value that will be masked by
3259
locations.conf. (Aaron Bentley, #122286)
3260
3261
* Fix commit ordering in corner case (Aaron Bentley, #94975)
3262
3263
* Make annotate behave in a non-ASCII world (Adeodato Simó).
3264
3265
IMPROVEMENTS:
3266
3267
* The --lsprof-file option now dumps a text rendering of the profiling
3268
information if the filename ends in ".txt". It will also convert the
3269
profiling information to a format suitable for KCacheGrind if the
3270
output filename ends in ".callgrind". Fixes to the lsprofcalltree
3271
conversion process by Jean Paul Calderone and Itamar were also merged.
3272
See http://ddaa.net/blog/python/lsprof-calltree. (Ian Clatworthy)
3273
3274
* ``info`` now defaults to non-verbose mode, displaying only paths and
3275
abbreviated format info. ``info -v`` displays all the information
3276
formerly displayed by ``info``. (Aaron Bentley, Adeodato Simó)
3277
3278
* ``bzr missing`` now has better option names ``--this`` and ``--other``.
3279
(Elliot Murphy)
3280
3281
* The internal ``weave-list`` command has become ``versionedfile-list``,
3282
and now lists knits as well as weaves. (Aaron Bentley)
3283
3284
* Automatic merge base selection uses a faster algorithm that chooses
3285
better bases in criss-cross merge situations (Aaron Bentley)
3286
3287
* Progress reporting in ``commit`` has been improved. The various logical
3288
stages are now reported on as follows, namely:
3289
3290
* Collecting changes [Entry x/y] - Stage n/m
3291
* Saving data locally - Stage n/m
3292
* Uploading data to master branch - Stage n/m
3293
* Updating the working tree - Stage n/m
3294
* Running post commit hooks - Stage n/m
3295
3296
If there is no master branch, the 3rd stage is omitted and the total
3297
number of stages is adjusted accordingly.
3298
3299
Each hook that is run after commit is listed with a name (as hooks
3300
can be slow it is useful feedback).
3301
(Ian Clatworthy, Robert Collins)
3302
3303
* Various operations that are now faster due to avoiding unnecessary
3304
topological sorts. (Aaron Bentley)
3305
3306
* Make merge directives robust against broken bundles. (Aaron Bentley)
3307
3308
* The lsprof filename note is emitted via trace.note(), not standard
3309
output. (Aaron Bentley)
3310
3311
* ``bzrlib`` now exports explicit API compatibility information to assist
3312
library users and plugins. See the ``bzrlib.api`` module for details.
3313
(Robert Collins)
3314
3315
* Remove unnecessary lock probes when acquiring a lockdir.
3316
(Martin Pool)
3317
3318
* ``bzr --version`` now shows the location of the bzr log file, which
3319
is especially useful on Windows. (Martin Pool)
3320
3321
* -D now supports hooks to get debug tracing of hooks (though its currently
3322
minimal in nature). (Robert Collins)
3323
3324
* Long log format reports deltas on merge revisions.
3325
(John Arbash Meinel, Kent Gibson)
3326
3327
* Make initial push over ftp more resilient. (John Arbash Meinel)
3328
3329
* Print a summary of changes for update just like pull does.
3330
(Daniel Watkins, #113990)
3331
3332
* Add a -Dhpss option to trace smart protocol requests and responses.
3333
(Andrew Bennetts)
3334
3335
LIBRARY API BREAKS:
3336
3337
* Testing cleanups -
3338
``bzrlib.repository.RepositoryTestProviderAdapter`` has been moved
3339
to ``bzrlib.tests.repository_implementations``;
3340
``bzrlib.repository.InterRepositoryTestProviderAdapter`` has been moved
3341
to ``bzrlib.tests.interrepository_implementations``;
3342
``bzrlib.transport.TransportTestProviderAdapter`` has moved to
3343
``bzrlib.tests.test_transport_implementations``.
3344
``bzrlib.branch.BranchTestProviderAdapter`` has moved to
3345
``bzrlib.tests.branch_implementations``.
3346
``bzrlib.bzrdir.BzrDirTestProviderAdapter`` has moved to
3347
``bzrlib.tests.bzrdir_implementations``.
3348
``bzrlib.versionedfile.InterVersionedFileTestProviderAdapter`` has moved
3349
to ``bzrlib.tests.interversionedfile_implementations``.
3350
``bzrlib.store.revision.RevisionStoreTestProviderAdapter`` has moved to
3351
``bzrlib.tests.revisionstore_implementations``.
3352
``bzrlib.workingtree.WorkingTreeTestProviderAdapter`` has moved to
3353
``bzrlib.tests.workingtree_implementations``.
3354
These changes are an API break in the testing infrastructure only.
3355
(Robert Collins)
3356
3357
* Relocate TestCaseWithRepository to be more central. (Robert Collins)
3358
3359
* ``bzrlib.add.smart_add_tree`` will no longer perform glob expansion on
3360
win32. Callers of the function should do this and use the new
3361
``MutableTree.smart_add`` method instead. (Robert Collins)
3362
3363
* ``bzrlib.add.glob_expand_for_win32`` is now
3364
``bzrlib.win32utils.glob_expand``. (Robert Collins)
3365
3366
* ``bzrlib.add.FastPath`` is now private and moved to
3367
``bzrlib.mutabletree._FastPath``. (Robert Collins, Martin Pool)
3368
3369
* ``LockDir.wait`` removed. (Martin Pool)
3370
3371
* The ``SmartServer`` hooks API has changed for the ``server_started`` and
3372
``server_stopped`` hooks. The first parameter is now an iterable of
3373
backing URLs rather than a single URL. This is to reflect that many
3374
URLs may map to the external URL of the server. E.g. the server interally
3375
may have a chrooted URL but also the local file:// URL will be at the
3376
same location. (Robert Collins)
3377
3378
INTERNALS:
3379
3380
* New SMTPConnection class to unify email handling. (Adeodato Simó)
3381
3382
* Fix documentation of BzrError. (Adeodato Simó)
3383
3384
* Make BzrBadParameter an internal error. (Adeodato Simó)
3385
3386
* Remove use of 'assert False' to raise an exception unconditionally.
3387
(Martin Pool)
3388
3389
* Give a cleaner error when failing to decode knit index entry.
3390
(Martin Pool)
3391
3392
* TreeConfig would mistakenly search the top level when asked for options
3393
from a section. It now respects the section argument and only
3394
searches the specified section. (James Westby)
3395
3396
* Improve ``make api-docs`` output. (John Arbash Meinel)
3397
3398
* Use os.lstat rather than os.stat for osutils.make_readonly and
3399
osutils.make_writeable. This makes the difftools plugin more
3400
robust when dangling symlinks are found. (Elliot Murphy)
3401
3402
* New ``-Dlock`` option to log (to ~/.bzr.log) information on when
3403
lockdirs are taken or released. (Martin Pool)
3404
3405
* ``bzrlib`` Hooks are now nameable using ``Hooks.name_hook``. This
3406
allows a nicer UI when hooks are running as the current hook can
3407
be displayed. (Robert Collins)
3408
3409
* ``Transport.get`` has had its interface made more clear for ease of use.
3410
Retrieval of a directory must now fail with either 'PathError' at open
3411
time, or raise 'ReadError' on a read. (Robert Collins)
3412
3413
* New method ``_maybe_expand_globs`` on the ``Command`` class for
3414
dealing with unexpanded glob lists - e.g. on the win32 platform. This
3415
was moved from ``bzrlib.add._prepare_file_list``. (Robert Collins)
3416
3417
* ``bzrlib.add.smart_add`` and ``bzrlib.add.smart_add_tree`` are now
3418
deprecated in favour of ``MutableTree.smart_add``. (Robert Collins,
3419
Martin Pool)
3420
3421
* New method ``external_url`` on Transport for obtaining the url to
3422
hand to external processes. (Robert Collins)
3423
3424
* Teach windows installers to build pyrex/C extensions.
3425
(Alexander Belchenko)
3426
3427
TESTING:
3428
3429
* Removed the ``--keep-output`` option from selftest and clean up test
3430
directories as they're used. This reduces the IO load from
3431
running the test suite and cuts the time by about half.
3432
(Andrew Bennetts, Martin Pool)
3433
3434
* Add scenarios as a public attribute on the TestAdapter classes to allow
3435
modification of the generated scenarios before adaption and easier
3436
testing. (Robert Collins)
3437
3438
* New testing support class ``TestScenarioApplier`` which multiplies
3439
out a single teste by a list of supplied scenarios. (RobertCollins)
3440
3441
* Setting ``repository_to_test_repository`` on a repository_implementations
3442
test will cause it to be called during repository creation, allowing the
3443
testing of repository classes which are not based around the Format
3444
concept. For example a repository adapter can be tested in this manner,
3445
by altering the repository scenarios to include a scenario that sets this
3446
attribute during the test parameterisation in
3447
``bzrlib.tests.repository.repository_implementations``. (Robert Collins)
3448
3449
* Clean up many of the APIs for blackbox testing of Bazaar. The standard
3450
interface is now self.run_bzr. The command to run can be passed as
3451
either a list of parameters, a string containing the command line, or
3452
(deprecated) varargs parameters. (Martin Pool)
3453
3454
* The base TestCase now isolates tests from -D parameters by clearing
3455
``debug.debug_flags`` and restores it afterwards. (Robert Collins)
3456
3457
* Add a relpath parameter to get_transport methods in test framework to
3458
avoid useless cloning.

3477
NOTES WHEN UPGRADING:
3478
3479
* The kind() and is_executable() APIs on the WorkingTree interface no
3480
longer implicitly (read) locks and unlocks the tree. This *might*
3481
impact some plug-ins and tools using this part of the API. If you find
3482
an issue that may be caused by this change, please let us know,
3483
particularly the plug-in/tool maintainer. If encountered, the API
3484
fix is to surround kind() and is_executable() calls with lock_read()
3485
and unlock() like so::
3486
3487
work_tree.lock_read()
3488
try:
3489
kind = work_tree.kind(...)
3490
finally:
3491
work_tree.unlock()
3492
3493
INTERNALS:
3494
* Rework of LogFormatter API to provide beginning/end of log hooks and to
3495
encapsulate the details of the revision to be logged in a LogRevision
3496
object.
3497
In long log formats, merge revision ids are only shown when --show-ids
3498
is specified, and are labelled "revision-id:", as per mainline
3499
revisions, instead of "merged:". (Kent Gibson)
3500
3501
* New ``BranchBuilder`` API which allows the construction of particular
3502
histories quickly. Useful for testing and potentially other applications
3503
too. (Robert Collins)
3504
3505
IMPROVEMENTS:
3506
3507
* There are two new help topics, working-trees and repositories that
3508
attempt to explain these concepts. (James Westby, John Arbash Meinel,
3509
Aaron Bentley)
3510
3511
* Added ``bzr log --limit`` to report a limited number of revisions.
3512
(Kent Gibson, #3659)
3513
3514
* Revert does not try to preserve file contents that were originally
3515
produced by reverting to a historical revision. (Aaron Bentley)
3516
3517
* ``bzr log --short`` now includes ``[merge]`` for revisions which
3518
have more than one parent. This is a small improvement to help
3519
understanding what changes have occurred
3520
(John Arbash Meinel, #83887)
3521
3522
* TreeTransform avoids many renames when contructing large trees,
3523
improving speed. 3.25x speedups have been observed for construction of
3524
kernel-sized-trees, and checkouts are 1.28x faster. (Aaron Bentley)
3525
3526
* Commit on large trees is now faster. In my environment, a commit of
3527
a small change to the Mozilla tree (55k files) has dropped from
3528
66 seconds to 32 seconds. For a small tree of 600 files, commit of a
3529
small change is 33% faster. (Ian Clatworthy)
3530
3531
* New --create-prefix option to bzr init, like for push. (Daniel Watkins,
3532
#56322)
3533
3534
BUGFIXES:
3535
3536
* ``bzr push`` should only connect to the remote location one time.
3537
We have been connecting 3 times because we forget to pass around
3538
the Transport object. This adds ``BzrDir.clone_on_transport()``, so
3539
that we can pass in the Transport that we already have.
3540
(John Arbash Meinel, #75721)
3541
3542
* ``DirState.set_state_from_inventory()`` needs to properly order
3543
based on split paths, not just string paths.
3544
(John Arbash Meinel, #115947)
3545
3546
* Let TestUIFactoy encode the password prompt with its own stdout.
3547
(Vincent Ladeuil, #110204)
3548
3549
* pycurl should take use the range header that takes the range hint
3550
into account.
3551
(Vincent Ladeuil, #112719)
3552
3553
* WorkingTree4.get_file_sha1 no longer raises an exception when invoked
3554
on a missing file. (Aaron Bentley, #118186)
3555
3556
* WorkingTree.remove works correctly with tree references, and when pwd is
3557
not the tree root. (Aaron Bentley)
3558
3559
* Merge no longer fails when a file is renamed in one tree and deleted
3560
in the other. (Aaron Bentley, #110279)
3561
3562
* ``revision-info`` now accepts dotted revnos, doesn't require a tree,
3563
and defaults to the last revision (Matthew Fuller, #90048)
3564
3565
* Tests no longer fail when BZR_REMOTE_PATH is set in the environment.
3566
(Daniel Watkins, #111958)
3567
3568
* ``bzr branch -r revid:foo`` can be used to branch any revision in
3569
your repository. (Previously Branch6 only supported revisions in your
3570
mainline). (John Arbash Meinel, #115343)

3573
--------------------
3574
3575
BUGFIXES:
3576
3577
* Handle when you have 2 directories with similar names, but one has a
3578
hyphen. (``'abc'`` versus ``'abc-2'``). The WT4._iter_changes
3579
iterator was using direct comparison and ``'abc/a'`` sorts after
3580
``'abc-2'``, but ``('abc', 'a')`` sorts before ``('abc-2',)``.
3581
(John Arbash Meinel, #111227)
3582
3583
* Handle when someone renames a file on disk without telling bzr.
3584
Previously we would report the first file as missing, but not show
3585
the new unknown file. (John Arbash Meinel, #111288)
3586
3587
* Avoid error when running hooks after pulling into or pushing from
3588
a branch bound to a smartserver branch. (Martin Pool, #111968)
3589
3590
IMPROVEMENTS:
3591
3592
* Move developer documentation to doc/developers/. This reduces clutter in
3593
the root of the source tree and allows HACKING to be split into multiple
3594
files. (Robert Collins, Alexander Belchenko)
3595
3596
* Clean up the ``WorkingTree4._iter_changes()`` internal loops as well as
3597
``DirState.update_entry()``. This optimizes the core logic for ``bzr
3598
diff`` and ``bzr status`` significantly improving the speed of
3599
both. (John Arbash Meinel)

3602
-----------------------
3603
3604
BUGFIXES:
3605
3606
* Handle the case when you delete a file, and then rename another file
3607
on top of it. Also handle the case of ``bzr rm --keep foo``. ``bzr
3608
status`` should show the removed file and an unknown file in its
3609
place. (John Arbash Meinel, #109993)
3610
3611
* Bundles properly read and write revision properties that have an
3612
empty value. And when the value is not ASCII.
3613
(John Arbash Meinel, #109613)
3614
3615
* Fix the bzr commit message to be in text mode.
3616
(Alexander Belchenko, #110901)
3617
3618
* Also handle when you rename a file and create a file where it used
3619
to be. (John Arbash Meinel, #110256)
3620
3621
* ``WorkingTree4._iter_changes`` should not descend into unversioned
3622
directories. (John Arbash Meinel, #110399)

3625
-----------------------
3626
3627
NOTES WHEN UPGRADING:
3628
3629
* ``bzr remove`` and ``bzr rm`` will now remove the working file, if
3630
it could be recovered again.
3631
This has been done for consistency with svn and the unix rm command.
3632
The old ``remove`` behaviour has been retained in the new option
3633
``bzr remove --keep``, which will just stop versioning the file,
3634
but not delete it.
3635
``bzr remove --force`` have been added which will always delete the
3636
files.
3637
``bzr remove`` is also more verbose.
3638
(Marius Kruger, #82602)
3639
3640
IMPROVEMENTS:
3641
3642
* Merge directives can now be supplied as input to `merge` and `pull`,
3643
like bundles can. (Aaron Bentley)
3644
3645
* Sending the SIGQUIT signal to bzr, which can be done on Unix by
3646
pressing Control-Backslash, drops bzr into a debugger. Type ``'c'``
3647
to continue. This can be disabled by setting the environment variable
3648
``BZR_SIGQUIT_PDB=0``. (Martin Pool)
3649
3650
* selftest now supports --list-only to list tests instead of running
3651
them. (Ian Clatworthy)
3652
3653
* selftest now supports --exclude PATTERN (or -x PATTERN) to exclude
3654
tests with names that match that regular expression.
3655
(Ian Clatworthy, #102679)
3656
3657
* selftest now supports --randomize SEED to run tests in a random order.
3658
SEED is typically the value 'now' meaning 'use the current time'.
3659
(Ian Clatworthy, #102686)
3660
3661
* New option ``--fixes`` to commit, which stores bug fixing annotations as
3662
revision properties. Built-in support for Launchpad, Debian, Trac and
3663
Bugzilla bug trackers. (Jonathan Lange, James Henstridge, Robert Collins)
3664
3665
* New API, ``bzrlib.bugtracker.tracker_registry``, for adding support for
3666
other bug trackers to ``fixes``. (Jonathan Lange, James Henstridge,
3667
Robert Collins)
3668
3669
* ``selftest`` has new short options ``-f`` and ``-1``. (Martin
3670
Pool)
3671
3672
* ``bzrlib.tsort.MergeSorter`` optimizations. Change the inner loop
3673
into using local variables instead of going through ``self._var``.
3674
Improves the time to ``merge_sort`` a 10k revision graph by
3675
approximately 40% (~700->400ms). (John Arbash Meinel)
3676
3677
* ``make docs`` now creates a man page at ``man1/bzr.1`` fixing bug 107388.
3678
(Robert Collins)
3679
3680
* ``bzr help`` now provides cross references to other help topics using
3681
the _see_also facility on command classes. Likewise the bzr_man
3682
documentation, and the bzr.1 man page also include this information.
3683
(Robert Collins)
3684
3685
* Tags are now included in logs, that use the long log formatter.
3686
(Erik Bågfors, Alexander Belchenko)
3687
3688
* ``bzr help`` provides a clearer message when a help topic cannot be
3689
found. (Robert Collins, #107656)
3690
3691
* ``bzr help`` now accepts optional prefixes for command help. The help
3692
for all commands can now be found at ``bzr help commands/COMMANDNAME``
3693
as well as ``bzr help COMMANDNAME`` (which only works for commands
3694
where the name is not the same as a more general help topic).
3695
(Robert Collins)
3696
3697
* ``bzr help PLUGINNAME`` will now return the module docstring from the
3698
plugin PLUGINNAME. (Robert Collins, #50408)
3699
3700
* New help topic ``urlspec`` which lists the availables transports.
3701
(Goffredo Baroncelli)
3702
3703
* doc/server.txt updated to document the default bzr:// port
3704
and also update the blurb about the hpss' current status.

* ``bzr serve`` now listens on interface 0.0.0.0 by default, making it
3708
serve out to the local LAN (and anyone in the world that can reach the
3709
machine running ``bzr serve``. (Robert Collins, #98918)
3710
3711
* A new smart server protocol version has been added. It prefixes requests
3712
and responses with an explicit version identifier so that future protocol
3713
revisions can be dealt with gracefully. (Andrew Bennetts, Robert Collins)
3714
3715
* The bzr protocol version 2 indicates success or failure in every response
3716
without depending on particular commands encoding that consistently,
3717
allowing future client refactorings to be much more robust about error
3718
handling. (Robert Collins, Martin Pool, Andrew Bennetts)
3719
3720
* The smart protocol over HTTP client has been changed to always post to the
3721
same ``.bzr/smart`` URL under the original location when it can. This allows
3722
HTTP servers to only have to pass URLs ending in .bzr/smart to the smart
3723
server handler, and not arbitrary ``.bzr/*/smart`` URLs. (Andrew Bennetts)
3724
3725
* digest authentication is now supported for proxies and HTTP by the urllib
3726
based http implementation. Tested against Apache 2.0.55 and Squid
3727
2.6.5. Basic and digest authentication are handled coherently for HTTP
3728
and proxy: if the user is provided in the url (bzr command line for HTTP,
3729
proxy environment variables for proxies), the password is prompted for
3730
(only once). If the password is provided, it is taken into account. Once
3731
the first authentication is successful, all further authentication
3732
roundtrips are avoided by preventively setting the right authentication
3733
header(s).
3734
(Vincent Ladeuil).
3735
3736
INTERNALS:
3737
3738
* bzrlib API compatability with 0.8 has been dropped, cleaning up some
3739
code paths. (Robert Collins)
3740
3741
* Change the format of chroot urls so that they can be safely manipulated
3742
by generic url utilities without causing the resulting urls to have
3743
escaped the chroot. A side effect of this is that creating a chroot
3744
requires an explicit action using a ChrootServer.
3745
(Robert Collins, Andrew Bennetts)
3746
3747
* Deprecate ``Branch.get_root_id()`` because branches don't have root ids,
3748
rather than fixing bug #96847. (Aaron Bentley)
3749
3750
* ``WorkingTree.apply_inventory_delta`` provides a better alternative to
3751
``WorkingTree._write_inventory``. (Aaron Bentley)
3752
3753
* Convenience method ``TestCase.expectFailure`` ensures that known failures
3754
do not silently pass. (Aaron Bentley)
3755
3756
* ``Transport.local_abspath`` now raises ``NotLocalUrl`` rather than
3757
``TransportNotPossible``. (Martin Pool, Ian Clatworthy)
3758
3759
* New SmartServer hooks facility. There are two initial hooks documented
3760
in ``bzrlib.transport.smart.SmartServerHooks``. The two initial hooks allow
3761
plugins to execute code upon server startup and shutdown.
3762
(Robert Collins).
3763
3764
* SmartServer in standalone mode will now close its listening socket
3765
when it stops, rather than waiting for garbage collection. This primarily
3766
fixes test suite hangs when a test tries to connect to a shutdown server.
3767
It may also help improve behaviour when dealing with a server running
3768
on a specific port (rather than dynamically assigned ports).
3769
(Robert Collins)
3770
3771
* Move most SmartServer code into a new package, bzrlib/smart.
3772
bzrlib/transport/remote.py contains just the Transport classes that used
3773
to be in bzrlib/transport/smart.py. (Andrew Bennetts)
3774
3775
* urllib http implementation avoid roundtrips associated with
3776
401 (and 407) errors once the authentication succeeds.
3777
(Vincent Ladeuil).
3778
3779
* urlib http now supports querying the user for a proxy password if
3780
needed. Realm is shown in the prompt for both HTTP and proxy
3781
authentication when the user is required to type a password.
3782
(Vincent Ladeuil).
3783
3784
* Renamed SmartTransport (and subclasses like SmartTCPTransport) to
3785
RemoteTransport (and subclasses to RemoteTCPTransport, etc). This is more
3786
consistent with its new home in ``bzrlib/transport/remote.py``, and because
3787
it's not really a "smart" transport, just one that does file operations
3788
via remote procedure calls. (Andrew Bennetts)
3789
3790
* The ``lock_write`` method of ``LockableFiles``, ``Repository`` and
3791
``Branch`` now accept a ``token`` keyword argument, so that separate
3792
instances of those objects can share a lock if it has the right token.
3793
(Andrew Bennetts, Robert Collins)
3794
3795
* New method ``get_branch_reference`` on ``BzrDir`` allows the detection of
3796
branch references - which the smart server component needs.
3797
3798
* The Repository API ``make_working_trees`` is now permitted to return
3799
False when ``set_make_working_trees`` is not implemented - previously
3800
an unimplemented ``set_make_working_trees`` implied the result True
3801
from ``make_working_trees``. This has been changed to accomodate the
3802
smart server, where it does not make sense (at this point) to ever
3803
make working trees by default. (Robert Collins)
3804
3805
* Command objects can now declare related help topics by having _see_also
3806
set to a list of related topic. (Robert Collins)
3807
3808
* ``bzrlib.help`` now delegates to the Command class for Command specific
3809
help. (Robert Collins)
3810
3811
* New class ``TransportListRegistry``, derived from the Registry class, which
3812
simplifies tracking the available Transports. (Goffredo Baroncelli)
3813
3814
* New function ``Branch.get_revision_id_to_revno_map`` which will
3815
return a dictionary mapping revision ids to dotted revnos. Since
3816
dotted revnos are defined in the context of the branch tip, it makes
3817
sense to generate them from a ``Branch`` object.
3818
(John Arbash Meinel)
3819
3820
* Fix the 'Unprintable error' message display to use the repr of the
3821
exception that prevented printing the error because the str value
3822
for it is often not useful in debugging (e.g. KeyError('foo') has a
3823
str() of 'foo' but a repr of 'KeyError('foo')' which is much more
3824
useful. (Robert Collins)
3825
3826
* ``urlutils.normalize_url`` now unescapes unreserved characters, such as "~".
3827
(Andrew Bennetts)

3829
BUGFIXES:
3830
3831
* Don't fail bundle selftest if email has 'two' embedded.
3832
(Ian Clatworthy, #98510)
3833
3834
* Remove ``--verbose`` from ``bzr bundle``. It didn't work anyway.
3835
(Robert Widhopf-Fenk, #98591)
3836
3837
* Remove ``--basis`` from the checkout/branch commands - it didn't work
3838
properly and is no longer beneficial.
3839
(Robert Collins, #53675, #43486)
3840
3841
* Don't produce encoding error when adding duplicate files.
3842
(Aaron Bentley)
3843
3844
* Fix ``bzr log <file>`` so it only logs the revisions that changed
3845
the file, and does it faster.
3846
(Kent Gibson, John Arbash Meinel, #51980, #69477)
3847
3848
* Fix ``InterDirstateTre._iter_changes`` to handle when we come across
3849
an empty versioned directory, which now has files in it.
3850
(John Arbash Meinel, #104257)
3851
3852
* Teach ``common_ancestor`` to shortcut when the tip of one branch is
3853
inside the ancestry of the other. Saves a lot of graph processing
3854
(with an ancestry of 16k revisions, ``bzr merge ../already-merged``
3855
changes from 2m10s to 13s). (John Arbash Meinel, #103757)
3856
3857
* Fix ``show_diff_trees`` to handle the case when a file is modified,
3858
and the containing directory is renamed. (The file path is different
3859
in this versus base, but it isn't marked as a rename).
3860
(John Arbash Meinel, #103870)
3861
3862
* FTP now works even when the FTP server does not support atomic rename.
3863
(Aaron Bentley, #89436)
3864
3865
* Correct handling in bundles and merge directives of timezones with
3866
that are not an integer number of hours offset from UTC. Always
3867
represent the epoch time in UTC to avoid problems with formatting
3868
earlier times on win32. (Martin Pool, Alexander Belchenko, John
3869
Arbash Meinel)
3870
3871
* Typo in the help for ``register-branch`` fixed. (Robert Collins, #96770)
3872
3873
* "dirstate" and "dirstate-tags" formats now produce branches compatible
3874
with old versions of bzr. (Aaron Bentley, #107168))
3875
3876
* Handle moving a directory when children have been added, removed,
3877
and renamed. (John Arbash Meinel, #105479)
3878
3879
* Don't preventively use basic authentication for proxy before receiving a
3880
407 error. Otherwise people willing to use other authentication schemes
3881
may expose their password in the clear (or nearly). This add one
3882
roundtrip in case basic authentication should be used, but plug the
3883
security hole.
3884
(Vincent Ladeuil)
3885
3886
* Handle http and proxy digest authentication.
3887
(Vincent Ladeuil, #94034).
3888
3889
TESTING:
3890
3891
* Added ``bzrlib.strace.strace`` which will strace a single callable and
3892
return a StraceResult object which contains just the syscalls involved
3893
in running it. (Robert Collins)
3894
3895
* New test method ``reduceLockdirTimeout`` to drop the default (ui-centric)
3896
default time down to one suitable for tests. (Andrew Bennetts)
3897
3898
* Add new ``vfs_transport_factory`` attribute on tests which provides the
3899
common vfs backing for both the readonly and readwrite transports.
3900
This allows the RemoteObject tests to back onto local disk or memory,
3901
and use the existing ``transport_server`` attribute all tests know about
3902
to be the smart server transport. This in turn allows tests to
3903
differentiate between 'transport to access the branch', and
3904
'transport which is a VFS' - which matters in Remote* tests.
3905
(Robert Collins, Andrew Bennetts)
3906
3907
* The ``make_branch_and_tree`` method for tests will now create a
3908
lightweight checkout for the tree if the ``vfs_transport_factory`` is not
3909
a LocalURLServer. (Robert Collins, Andrew Bennetts)
3910
3911
* Branch implementation tests have been audited to ensure that all urls
3912
passed to Branch APIs use proper urls, except when local-disk paths
3913
are intended. This is so that tests correctly access the test transport
3914
which is often not equivalent to local disk in Remote* tests. As part
3915
of this many tests were adjusted to remove dependencies on local disk
3916
access.
3917
(Robert Collins, Andrew Bennetts)
3918
3919
* Mark bzrlib.tests and bzrlib.tests.TestUtil as providing assertFOO helper
3920
functions by adding a ``__unittest`` global attribute. (Robert Collins,
3921
Andrew Bennetts, Martin Pool, Jonathan Lange)
3922
3923
* Refactored proxy and authentication handling to simplify the
3924
implementation of new auth schemes for both http and proxy.

3942
CHANGES:
3943
3944
* A warning is now displayed when opening working trees in older
3945
formats, to encourage people to upgrade to WorkingTreeFormat4.
3946
(Martin Pool)
3947
3948
IMPROVEMENTS:
3949
3950
* HTTP redirections are now taken into account when a branch (or a
3951
bundle) is accessed for the first time. A message is issued at each
3952
redirection to inform the user. In the past, http redirections were
3953
silently followed for each request which significantly degraded the
3954
performances. The http redirections are not followed anymore by
3955
default, instead a RedirectRequested exception is raised. For bzrlib
3956
users needing to follow http redirections anyway,
3957
``bzrlib.transport.do_catching_redirections`` provide an easy transition
3958
path. (vila)
3959
3960
INTERNALS:
3961
3962
* Added ``ReadLock.temporary_write_lock()`` to allow upgrading an OS read
3963
lock to an OS write lock. Linux can do this without unlocking, Win32
3964
needs to unlock in between. (John Arbash Meinel)
3965
3966
* New parameter ``recommend_upgrade`` to ``BzrDir.open_workingtree``
3967
to silence (when false) warnings about opening old formats.
3968
(Martin Pool)
3969
3970
* Fix minor performance regression with bzr-0.15 on pre-dirstate
3971
trees. (We were reading the working inventory too many times).
3972
(John Arbash Meinel)
3973
3974
* Remove ``Branch.get_transaction()`` in favour of a simple cache of
3975
``revision_history``. Branch subclasses should override
3976
``_gen_revision_history`` rather than ``revision_history`` to make use of
3977
this cache, and call ``_clear_revision_history_cache`` and
3978
``_cache_revision_history`` at appropriate times. (Andrew Bennetts)
3979
3980
BUGFIXES:
3981
3982
* Take ``smtp_server`` from user config into account.
3983
(vila, #92195)
3984
3985
* Restore Unicode filename handling for versioned and unversioned files.
3986
(John Arbash Meinel, #92608)
3987
3988
* Don't fail during ``bzr commit`` if a file is marked removed, and
3989
the containing directory is auto-removed. (John Arbash Meinel, #93681)
3990
3991
* ``bzr status FILENAME`` failed on Windows because of an uncommon
3992
errno. (``ERROR_DIRECTORY == 267 != ENOTDIR``).
3993
(Wouter van Heyst, John Arbash Meinel, #90819)
3994
3995
* ``bzr checkout source`` should create a local branch in the same
3996
format as source. (John Arbash Meinel, #93854)
3997
3998
* ``bzr commit`` with a kind change was failing to update the
3999
last-changed-revision for directories. The
4000
InventoryDirectory._unchanged only looked at the ``parent_id`` and name,
4001
ignoring the fact that the kind could have changed, too.
4002
(John Arbash Meinel, #90111)
4003
4004
* ``bzr mv dir/subdir other`` was incorrectly updating files inside
4005
the directory. So that there was a chance it would break commit,
4006
etc. (John Arbash Meinel, #94037)
4007
4008
* Correctly handles mutiple permanent http redirections.

4012
-----------------------
4013
4014
NOTES WHEN UPGRADING:
4015
4016
* Release 0.15rc2 of bzr changes the ``bzr init-repo`` command to
4017
default to ``--trees`` instead of ``--no-trees``.
4018
Existing shared repositories are not affected.
4019
4020
IMPROVEMENTS:
4021
4022
* New ``merge-directive`` command to generate machine- and human-readable
4023
merge requests. (Aaron Bentley)
4024
4025
* New ``submit:`` revision specifier makes it easy to diff against the
4026
common ancestor with the submit location (Aaron Bentley)
4027
4028
* Added support for Putty's SSH implementation. (Dmitry Vasiliev)
4029
4030
* Added ``bzr status --versioned`` to report only versioned files,
4031
not unknowns. (Kent Gibson)
4032
4033
* Merge now autodetects the correct line-ending style for its conflict
4034
markers. (Aaron Bentley)
4035
4036
INTERNALS:
4037
4038
* Refactored SSH vendor registration into SSHVendorManager class.
4039
(Dmitry Vasiliev)
4040
4041
BUGFIXES:
4042
4043
* New ``--numbered-dirs`` option to ``bzr selftest`` to use
4044
numbered dirs for TestCaseInTempDir. This is default behavior
4045
on Windows. Anyone can force named dirs on Windows
4046
with ``--no-numbered-dirs``. (Alexander Belchenko)
4047
4048
* Fix ``RevisionSpec_revid`` to handle the Unicode strings passed in
4049
from the command line. (Marien Zwart, #90501)
4050
4051
* Fix ``TreeTransform._iter_changes`` when both the source and
4052
destination are missing. (Aaron Bentley, #88842)
4053
4054
* Fix commit of merges with symlinks in dirstate trees.
4055
(Marien Zwart)
4056
4057
* Switch the ``bzr init-repo`` default from --no-trees to --trees.

4061
bzr 0.15rc1 2007-03-07
4062
-----------------------
4063
4064
SURPRISES:
4065
4066
* The default disk format has changed. Please run 'bzr upgrade' in your
4067
working trees to upgrade. This new default is compatible for network
4068
operations, but not for local operations. That is, if you have two
4069
versions of bzr installed locally, after upgrading you can only use the
4070
bzr 0.15 version. This new default does not enable tags or nested-trees
4071
as they are incompatible with bzr versions before 0.15 over the network.
4072
4073
* For users of bzrlib: Two major changes have been made to the working tree
4074
api in bzrlib. The first is that many methods and attributes, including
4075
the inventory attribute, are no longer valid for use until one of
4076
``lock_read``/``lock_write``/``lock_tree_write`` has been called,
4077
and become invalid again after unlock is called. This has been done
4078
to improve performance and correctness as part of the dirstate
4079
development.
4080
(Robert Collins, John A Meinel, Martin Pool, and others).
4081
4082
* For users of bzrlib: The attribute 'tree.inventory' should be considered
4083
readonly. Previously it was possible to directly alter this attribute, or
4084
its contents, and have the tree notice this. This has been made
4085
unsupported - it may work in some tree formats, but in the newer dirstate
4086
format such actions will have no effect and will be ignored, or even
4087
cause assertions. All operations possible can still be carried out by a
4088
combination of the tree API, and the bzrlib.transform API. (Robert
4089
Collins, John A Meinel, Martin Pool, and others).
4090
4091
IMPROVEMENTS:
4092
4093
* Support for OS Windows 98. Also .bzr.log on any windows system
4094
saved in My Documents folder. (Alexander Belchenko)
4095
4096
* ``bzr mv`` enhanced to support already moved files.
4097
In the past the mv command would have failed if the source file doesn't
4098
exist. In this situation ``bzr mv`` would now detect that the file has
4099
already moved and update the repository accordingly, if the target file
4100
does exist.
4101
A new option ``--after`` has been added so that if two files already
4102
exist, you could notify Bazaar that you have moved a (versioned) file
4103
and replaced it with another. Thus in this case ``bzr move --after``
4104
will only update the Bazaar identifier.
4105
(Steffen Eichenberg, Marius Kruger)
4106
4107
* ``ls`` now works on treeless branches and remote branches.
4108
(Aaron Bentley)
4109
4110
* ``bzr help global-options`` describes the global options.
4111
(Aaron Bentley)
4112
4113
* ``bzr pull --overwrite`` will now correctly overwrite checkouts.
4114
(Robert Collins)
4115
4116
* Files are now allowed to change kind (e.g. from file to symlink).
4117
Supported by ``commit``, ``revert`` and ``status``
4118
(Aaron Bentley)
4119
4120
* ``inventory`` and ``unknowns`` hidden in favour of ``ls``
4121
(Aaron Bentley)
4122
4123
* ``bzr help checkouts`` descibes what checkouts are and some possible
4124
uses of them. (James Westby, Aaron Bentley)
4125
4126
* A new ``-d`` option to push, pull and merge overrides the default
4127
directory. (Martin Pool)
4128
4129
* Branch format 6: smaller, and potentially faster than format 5. Supports
4130
``append_history_only`` mode, where the log view and revnos do not change,
4131
except by being added to. Stores policy settings in
4132
".bzr/branch/branch.conf".
4133
4134
* ``append_only`` branches: Format 6 branches may be configured so that log
4135
view and revnos are always consistent. Either create the branch using
4136
"bzr init --append-revisions-only" or edit the config file as descriped
4137
in docs/configuration.txt.
4138
4139
* rebind: Format 6 branches retain the last-used bind location, so if you
4140
"bzr unbind", you can "bzr bind" to bind to the previously-selected
4141
bind location.
4142
4143
* Builtin tags support, created and deleted by the ``tag`` command and
4144
stored in the branch. Tags can be accessed with the revisionspec
4145
``-rtag:``, and listed with ``bzr tags``. Tags are not versioned
4146
at present. Tags require a network incompatible upgrade. To perform this
4147
upgrade, run ``bzr upgrade --dirstate-tags`` in your branch and
4148
repositories. (Martin Pool)
4149
4150
* The ``bzr://`` transport now has a well-known port number, 4155,
4151
which it will use by default. (Andrew Bennetts, Martin Pool)

4153
* Bazaar now looks for user-installed plugins before looking for site-wide
4154
plugins. (Jonathan Lange)
4155
4156
* ``bzr resolve`` now detects and marks resolved text conflicts.
4157
(Aaron Bentley)
4158
4159
INTERNALS:
4160
4161
* Internally revision ids and file ids are now passed around as utf-8
4162
bytestrings, rather than treating them as Unicode strings. This has
4163
performance benefits for Knits, since we no longer need to decode the
4164
revision id for each line of content, nor for each entry in the index.
4165
This will also help with the future dirstate format.
4166
(John Arbash Meinel)
4167
4168
* Reserved ids (any revision-id ending in a colon) are rejected by
4169
versionedfiles, repositories, branches, and working trees
4170
(Aaron Bentley)
4171
4172
* Minor performance improvement by not creating a ProgressBar for
4173
every KnitIndex we create. (about 90ms for a bzr.dev tree)
4174
(John Arbash Meinel)
4175
4176
* New easier to use Branch hooks facility. There are five initial hooks,
4177
all documented in bzrlib.branch.BranchHooks.__init__ - ``'set_rh'``,
4178
``'post_push'``, ``'post_pull'``, ``'post_commit'``,
4179
``'post_uncommit'``. These hooks fire after the matching operation
4180
on a branch has taken place, and were originally added for the
4181
branchrss plugin. (Robert Collins)
4182
4183
* New method ``Branch.push()`` which should be used when pushing from a
4184
branch as it makes performance and policy decisions to match the UI
4185
level command ``push``. (Robert Collins).
4186
4187
* Add a new method ``Tree.revision_tree`` which allows access to cached
4188
trees for arbitrary revisions. This allows the in development dirstate
4189
tree format to provide access to the callers to cached copies of
4190
inventory data which are cheaper to access than inventories from the
4191
repository.
4192
(Robert Collins, Martin Pool)
4193
4194
* New ``Branch.last_revision_info`` method, this is being done to allow
4195
optimization of requests for both the number of revisions and the last
4196
revision of a branch with smartservers and potentially future branch
4197
formats. (Wouter van Heyst, Robert Collins)
4198
4199
* Allow ``'import bzrlib.plugins.NAME'`` to work when the plugin NAME has not
4200
yet been loaded by ``load_plugins()``. This allows plugins to depend on each
4201
other for code reuse without requiring users to perform file-renaming
4202
gymnastics. (Robert Collins)
4203
4204
* New Repository method ``'gather_stats'`` for statistic data collection.
4205
This is expected to grow to cover a number of related uses mainly
4206
related to bzr info. (Robert Collins)
4207
4208
* Log formatters are now managed with a registry.
4209
``log.register_formatter`` continues to work, but callers accessing
4210
the FORMATTERS dictionary directly will not.
4211
4212
* Allow a start message to be passed to the ``edit_commit_message``
4213
function. This will be placed in the message offered to the user
4214
for editing above the separator. It allows a template commit message
4215
to be used more easily. (James Westby)
4216
4217
* ``GPGStrategy.sign()`` will now raise ``BzrBadParameterUnicode`` if
4218
you pass a Unicode string rather than an 8-bit string. Callers need
4219
to be updated to encode first. (John Arbash Meinel)
4220
4221
* Branch.push, pull, merge now return Result objects with information
4222
about what happened, rather than a scattering of various methods. These
4223
are also passed to the post hooks. (Martin Pool)
4224
4225
* File formats and architecture is in place for managing a forest of trees
4226
in bzr, and splitting up existing trees into smaller subtrees, and
4227
finally joining trees to make a larger tree. This is the first iteration
4228
of this support, and the user-facing aspects still require substantial
4229
work. If you wish to experiment with it, use ``bzr upgrade
4230
--dirstate-with-subtree`` in your working trees and repositories.
4231
You can use the hidden commands ``split`` and ``join`` and to create
4232
and manipulate nested trees, but please consider using the nested-trees
4233
branch, which contains substantial UI improvements, instead.

4235
(Aaron Bentley, Martin Pool, Robert Collins).
4236
4237
BUGFIXES:
4238
4239
* ``bzr annotate`` now uses dotted revnos from the viewpoint of the
4240
branch, rather than the last changed revision of the file.
4241
(John Arbash Meinel, #82158)
4242
4243
* Lock operations no longer hang if they encounter a permission problem.
4244
(Aaron Bentley)
4245
4246
* ``bzr push`` can resume a push that was canceled before it finished.
4247
Also, it can push even if the target directory exists if you supply
4248
the ``--use-existing-dir`` flag.
4249
(John Arbash Meinel, #30576, #45504)
4250
4251
* Fix http proxy authentication when user and an optional
4252
password appears in the ``*_proxy`` vars. (Vincent Ladeuil,
4253
#83954).
4254
4255
* ``bzr log branch/file`` works for local treeless branches
4256
(Aaron Bentley, #84247)
4257
4258
* Fix problem with UNC paths on Windows 98. (Alexander Belchenko, #84728)
4259
4260
* Searching location of CA bundle for PyCurl in env variable
4261
(``CURL_CA_BUNDLE``), and on win32 along the PATH.
4262
(Alexander Belchenko, #82086)
4263
4264
* ``bzr init`` works with unicode argument LOCATION.
4265
(Alexander Belchenko, #85599)
4266
4267
* Raise ``DependencyNotPresent`` if pycurl do not support https.
4268
(Vincent Ladeuil, #85305)
4269
4270
* Invalid proxy env variables should not cause a traceback.
4271
(Vincent Ladeuil, #87765)
4272
4273
* Ignore patterns normalised to use '/' path separator.
4274
(Kent Gibson, #86451)
4275
4276
* bzr rocks. It sure does! Fix case. (Vincent Ladeuil, #78026)
4277
4278
* Fix bzrtools shelve command for removed lines beginning with "--"
4279
(Johan Dahlberg, #75577)
4280
4281
TESTING:
4282
4283
* New ``--first`` option to ``bzr selftest`` to run specified tests

4290
IMPROVEMENTS:
4291
4292
* ``bzr help global-options`` describes the global options. (Aaron Bentley)
4293
4294
BUG FIXES:
4295
4296
* Skip documentation generation tests if the tools to do so are not
4297
available. Fixes running selftest for installled copies of bzr.
4298
(John Arbash Meinel, #80330)
4299
4300
* Fix the code that discovers whether bzr is being run from it's
4301
working tree to handle the case when it isn't but the directory
4302
it is in is below a repository. (James Westby, #77306)

4305
bzr 0.14rc1 2007-01-16
4306
-----------------------
4307
4308
IMPROVEMENTS:
4309
4310
* New connection: ``bzr+http://`` which supports tunnelling the smart
4311
protocol over an HTTP connection. If writing is enabled on the bzr
4312
server, then you can write over the http connection.
4313
(Andrew Bennetts, John Arbash Meinel)
4314
4315
* Aliases now support quotation marks, so they can contain whitespace
4316
(Marius Kruger)
4317
4318
* PyCurlTransport now use a single curl object. By specifying explicitly
4319
the 'Range' header, we avoid the need to use two different curl objects
4320
(and two connections to the same server). (Vincent Ladeuil)
4321
4322
* ``bzr commit`` does not prompt for a message until it is very likely to
4323
succeed. (Aaron Bentley)
4324
4325
* ``bzr conflicts`` now takes --text to list pathnames of text conflicts
4326
(Aaron Bentley)
4327
4328
* Fix ``iter_lines_added_or_present_in_versions`` to use a set instead
4329
of a list while checking if a revision id was requested. Takes 10s
4330
off of the ``fileids_affected_by_revision_ids`` time, which is 10s
4331
of the ``bzr branch`` time. Also improve ``fileids_...`` time by
4332
filtering lines with a regex rather than multiple ``str.find()``
4333
calls. (saves another 300ms) (John Arbash Meinel)
4334
4335
* Policy can be set for each configuration key. This allows keys to be
4336
inherited properly across configuration entries. For example, this
4337
should enable you to do::
4338
4339
[/home/user/project]
4340
push_location = sftp://host/srv/project/
4341
push_location:policy = appendpath
4342
4343
And then a branch like ``/home/user/project/mybranch`` should get an
4344
automatic push location of ``sftp://host/srv/project/mybranch``.
4345
(James Henstridge)
4346
4347
* Added ``bzr status --short`` to make status report svn style flags
4348
for each file. For example::
4349
4350
$ bzr status --short
4351
A foo
4352
A bar
4353
D baz
4354
? wooley
4355
4356
* 'bzr selftest --clean-output' allows easily clean temporary tests
4357
directories without running tests. (Alexander Belchenko)
4358
4359
* ``bzr help hidden-commands`` lists all hidden commands. (Aaron Bentley)
4360
4361
* ``bzr merge`` now has an option ``--pull`` to fall back to pull if
4362
local is fully merged into remote. (Jan Hudec)
4363
4364
* ``bzr help formats`` describes available directory formats. (Aaron Bentley)
4365
4366
INTERNALS:
4367
4368
* A few tweaks directly to ``fileids_affected_by_revision_ids`` to
4369
help speed up processing, as well allowing to extract unannotated
4370
lines. Between the two ``fileids_affected_by_revision_ids`` is
4371
improved by approx 10%. (John Arbash Meinel)
4372
4373
* Change Revision serialization to only write out millisecond
4374
resolution. Rather than expecting floating point serialization to
4375
preserve more resolution than we need. (Henri Weichers, Martin Pool)
4376
4377
* Test suite ends cleanly on Windows. (Vincent Ladeuil)
4378
4379
* When ``encoding_type`` attribute of class Command is equal to 'exact',
4380
force sys.stdout to be a binary stream on Windows, and therefore
4381
keep exact line-endings (without LF -> CRLF conversion).
4382
(Alexander Belchenko)
4383
4384
* Single-letter short options are no longer globally declared. (Martin
4385
Pool)
4386
4387
* Before using detected user/terminal encoding bzr should check
4388
that Python has corresponding codec. (Alexander Belchenko)
4389
4390
* Formats for end-user selection are provided via a FormatRegistry (Aaron Bentley)
4391
4392
BUG FIXES:
4393
4394
* ``bzr missing --verbose`` was showing adds/removals in the wrong
4395
direction. (John Arbash Meinel)
4396
4397
* ``bzr annotate`` now defaults to showing dotted revnos for merged
4398
revisions. It cuts them off at a depth of 12 characters, but you can
4399
supply ``--long`` to see the full number. You can also use
4400
``--show-ids`` to display the original revision ids, rather than
4401
revision numbers and committer names. (John Arbash Meinel, #75637)
4402
4403
* bzr now supports Win32 UNC path (e.g. ``\HOST\path``.
4404
(Alexander Belchenko, #57869)
4405
4406
* Win32-specific: output of cat, bundle and diff commands don't mangle
4407
line-endings (Alexander Belchenko, #55276)
4408
4409
* Replace broken fnmatch based ignore pattern matching with custom pattern
4410
matcher.
4411
(Kent Gibson, Jan Hudec #57637)
4412
4413
* pycurl and urllib can detect short reads at different places. Update
4414
the test suite to test more cases. Also detect http error code 416
4415
which was raised for that specific bug. Also enhance the urllib
4416
robustness by detecting invalid ranges (and pycurl's one by detecting
4417
short reads during the initial GET). (Vincent Ladeuil, #73948)
4418
4419
* The urllib connection sharing interacts badly with urllib2
4420
proxy setting (the connections didn't go thru the proxy
4421
anymore). Defining a proper ProxyHandler solves the
4422
problem. (Vincent Ladeuil, #74759)
4423
4424
* Use urlutils to generate relative URLs, not osutils
4425
(Aaron Bentley, #76229)
4426
4427
* ``bzr status`` in a readonly directory should work without giving
4428
lots of errors. (John Arbash Meinel, #76299)
4429
4430
* Mention the revisionspec topic for the revision option help.
4431
(Wouter van Heyst, #31663)
4432
4433
* Allow plugins import from zip archives.

IMPROVEMENTS:
4446
4447
* New command ``bzr remove-tree`` allows the removal of the working
4448
tree from a branch.
4449
(Daniel Silverstone)
4450
4451
* urllib uses shared keep-alive connections, so http
4452
operations are substantially faster.
4453
(Vincent Ladeuil, #53654)
4454
4455
* ``bzr export`` allows an optional branch parameter, to export a bzr
4456
tree from some other url. For example:
4457
``bzr export bzr.tar.gz http://bazaar-vcs.org/bzr/bzr.dev``
4458
(Daniel Silverstone)
4459
4460
* Added ``bzr help topics`` to the bzr help system. This gives a
4461
location for general information, outside of a specific command.
4462
This includes updates for ``bzr help revisionspec`` the first topic
4463
included. (Goffredo Baroncelli, John Arbash Meinel, #42714)
4464
4465
* WSGI-compatible HTTP smart server. See ``doc/http_smart_server.txt``.
4466
(Andrew Bennetts)
4467
4468
* Knit files will now cache full texts only when the size of the
4469
deltas is as large as the size of the fulltext. (Or after 200
4470
deltas, whichever comes first). This has the most benefit on large
4471
files with small changes, such as the inventory for a large project.
4472
(eg For a project with 2500 files, and 7500 revisions, it changes
4473
the size of inventory.knit from 11MB to 5.4MB) (John Arbash Meinel)
4474
4475
INTERNALS:
4476
4477
* New -D option given before the command line turns on debugging output
4478
for particular areas. -Derror shows tracebacks on all errors.
4479
(Martin Pool)
4480
4481
* Clean up ``bzr selftest --benchmark bundle`` to correct an import,
4482
and remove benchmarks that take longer than 10min to run.
4483
(John Arbash Meinel)
4484
4485
* Use ``time.time()`` instead of ``time.clock()`` to decide on
4486
progress throttling. Because ``time.clock()`` is actually CPU time,
4487
so over a high-latency connection, too many updates get throttled.
4488
(John Arbash Meinel)
4489
4490
* ``MemoryTransport.list_dir()`` would strip the first character for
4491
files or directories in root directory. (John Arbash Meinel)
4492
4493
* New method ``get_branch_reference`` on 'BzrDir' allows the detection of
4494
branch references - which the smart server component needs.
4495
4496
* New ``ChrootTransportDecorator``, accessible via the ``chroot+`` url
4497
prefix. It disallows any access to locations above a set URL. (Andrew
4498
Bennetts)
4499
4500
BUG FIXES:
4501
4502
* Now ``_KnitIndex`` properly decode revision ids when loading index data.
4503
And optimize the knit index parsing code.
4504
(Dmitry Vasiliev, John Arbash Meinel)
4505
4506
* ``bzrlib/bzrdir.py`` was directly referencing ``bzrlib.workingtree``,
4507
without importing it. This prevented ``bzr upgrade`` from working
4508
unless a plugin already imported ``bzrlib.workingtree``
4509
(John Arbash Meinel, #70716)
4510
4511
* Suppress the traceback on invalid URLs (Vincent Ladeuil, #70803).
4512
4513
* Give nicer error message when an http server returns a 403
4514
error code. (Vincent Ladeuil, #57644).
4515
4516
* When a multi-range http GET request fails, try a single
4517
range one. If it fails too, forget about ranges. Remember that until
4518
the death of the transport and propagates that to the clones.
4519
(Vincent Ladeuil, #62276, #62029).
4520
4521
* Handles user/passwords supplied in url from command
4522
line (for the urllib implementation). Don't request already
4523
known passwords (Vincent Ladeuil, #42383, #44647, #48527)
4524
4525
* ``_KnitIndex.add_versions()`` dictionary compresses revision ids as they
4526
are added. This fixes bug where fetching remote revisions records
4527
them as full references rather than integers.
4528
(John Arbash Meinel, #64789)
4529
4530
* ``bzr ignore`` strips trailing slashes in patterns.
4531
Also ``bzr ignore`` rejects absolute paths. (Kent Gibson, #4559)
4532
4533
* ``bzr ignore`` takes multiple arguments. (Cheuksan Edward Wang, #29488)
4534
4535
* mv correctly handles paths that traverse symlinks.
4536
(Aaron Bentley, #66964)
4537
4538
* Give nicer looking error messages when failing to connect over ssh.
4539
(John Arbash Meinel, #49172)
4540
4541
* Pushing to a remote branch does not currently update the remote working
4542
tree. After a remote push, ``bzr status`` and ``bzr diff`` on the remote
4543
machine now show that the working tree is out of date.
4544
(Cheuksan Edward Wang #48136)
4545
4546
* Use patiencediff instead of difflib for determining deltas to insert
4547
into knits. This avoids the O(N^3) behavior of difflib. Patience
4548
diff should be O(N^2). (Cheuksan Edward Wang, #65714)
4549
4550
* Running ``bzr log`` on nonexistent file gives an error instead of the
4551
entire log history. (Cheuksan Edward Wang #50793)
4552
4553
* ``bzr cat`` can look up contents of removed or renamed files. If the
4554
pathname is ambiguous, i.e. the files in the old and new trees have
4555
different id's, the default is the file in the new tree. The user can
4556
use "--name-from-revision" to select the file in the old tree.
4557
(Cheuksan Edward Wang, #30190)
4558
4559
TESTING:
4560
4561
* TestingHTTPRequestHandler really handles the Range header
4562
(previously it was ignoring it and returning the whole file,).

4574
-----------------------
4575
4576
IMPROVEMENTS:
4577
4578
* ``bzr log`` now shows dotted-decimal revision numbers for all revisions,
4579
rather than just showing a decimal revision number for revisions on the
4580
mainline. These revision numbers are not yet accepted as input into bzr
4581
commands such as log, diff etc. (Robert Collins)
4582
4583
* revisions can now be specified using dotted-decimal revision numbers.
4584
For instance, ``bzr diff -r 1.2.1..1.2.3``. (Robert Collins)
4585
4586
* ``bzr help commands`` output is now shorter (Aaron Bentley)
4587
4588
* ``bzr`` now uses lazy importing to reduce the startup time. This has
4589
a moderate effect on lots of actions, especially ones that have
4590
little to do. For example ``bzr rocks`` time is down to 116ms from
4591
283ms. (John Arbash Meinel)
4592
4593
* New Registry class to provide name-to-object registry-like support,
4594
for example for schemes where plugins can register new classes to
4595
do certain tasks (e.g. log formatters). Also provides lazy registration
4596
to allow modules to be loaded on request.
4597
(John Arbash Meinel, Adeodato Simó)
4598
4599
API INCOMPATABILITY:
4600
4601
* LogFormatter subclasses show now expect the 'revno' parameter to
4602
show() to be a string rather than an int. (Robert Collins)
4603
4604
INTERNALS:
4605
4606
* ``TestCase.run_bzr``, ``run_bzr_captured``, and ``run_bzr_subprocess``
4607
can take a ``working_dir='foo'`` parameter, which will change directory
4608
for the command. (John Arbash Meinel)
4609
4610
* ``bzrlib.lazy_regex.lazy_compile`` can be used to create a proxy
4611
around a regex, which defers compilation until first use.
4612
(John Arbash Meinel)
4613
4614
* ``TestCase.run_bzr_subprocess`` defaults to supplying the
4615
``--no-plugins`` parameter to ensure test reproducability, and avoid
4616
problems with system-wide installed plugins. (John Arbash Meinel)
4617
4618
* Unique tree root ids are now supported. Newly created trees still
4619
use the common root id for compatibility with bzr versions before 0.12.
4620
(Aaron Bentley)
4621
4622
* ``WorkingTree.set_root_id(None)`` is now deprecated. Please
4623
pass in ``inventory.ROOT_ID`` if you want the default root id value.
4624
(Robert Collins, John Arbash Meinel)
4625
4626
* New method ``WorkingTree.flush()`` which will write the current memory
4627
inventory out to disk. At the same time, ``read_working_inventory`` will
4628
no longer trash the current tree inventory if it has been modified within
4629
the current lock, and the tree will now ``flush()`` automatically on
4630
``unlock()``. ``WorkingTree.set_root_id()`` has been updated to take
4631
advantage of this functionality. (Robert Collins, John Arbash Meinel)
4632
4633
* ``bzrlib.tsort.merge_sorted`` now accepts ``generate_revnos``. This
4634
parameter will cause it to add another column to its output, which
4635
contains the dotted-decimal revno for each revision, as a tuple.
4636
(Robert Collins)
4637
4638
* ``LogFormatter.show_merge`` is deprecated in favour of
4639
``LogFormatter.show_merge_revno``. (Robert Collins)
4640
4641
BUG FIXES:
4642
4643
* Avoid circular imports by creating a deprecated function for
4644
``bzrlib.tree.RevisionTree``. Callers should have been using
4645
``bzrlib.revisontree.RevisionTree`` anyway. (John Arbash Meinel,
4646
#63360, #66349)
4647
4648
* Don't use ``socket.MSG_WAITALL`` as it doesn't exist on all
4649
platforms. (Martin Pool, #66356)
4650
4651
* Don't require ``Content-Type`` in range responses. Assume they are a
4652
single range if ``Content-Type`` does not exist.
4653
(John Arbash Meinel, #62473)
4654
4655
* bzr branch/pull no longer complain about progress bar cleanup when
4656
interrupted during fetch. (Aaron Bentley, #54000)
4657
4658
* ``WorkingTree.set_parent_trees()`` uses the trees to directly write
4659
the basis inventory, rather than going through the repository. This
4660
allows us to have 1 inventory read, and 2 inventory writes when
4661
committing a new tree. (John Arbash Meinel)
4662
4663
* When reverting, files that are not locally modified that do not exist
4664
in the target are deleted, not just unversioned (Aaron Bentley)
4665
4666
* When trying to acquire a lock, don't fail immediately. Instead, try
4667
a few times (up to 1 hour) before timing out. Also, report why the
4668
lock is unavailable (John Arbash Meinel, #43521, #49556)
4669
4670
* Leave HttpTransportBase daughter classes decides how they
4671
implement cloning. (Vincent Ladeuil, #61606)
4672
4673
* diff3 does not indicate conflicts on clean merge. (Aaron Bentley)
4674
4675
* If a commit fails, the commit message is stored in a file at the root of
4676
the tree for later commit. (Cheuksan Edward Wang, Stefan Metzmacher,
4677
#32054)
4678
4679
TESTING:
4680
4681
* New test base class TestCaseWithMemoryTransport offers memory-only
4682
testing facilities: its not suitable for tests that need to mutate disk
4683
state, but most tests should not need that and should be converted to
4684
TestCaseWithMemoryTransport. (Robert Collins)
4685
4686
* ``TestCase.make_branch_and_memory_tree`` now takes a format
4687
option to set the BzrDir, Repository and Branch formats of the
4688
created objects. (Robert Collins, John Arbash Meinel)
4689
4690
bzr 0.11 2006-10-02
4691
--------------------
4692
4693
* Smart server transport test failures on windows fixed. (Lukáš Lalinský).
4694
4695
bzr 0.11rc2 2006-09-27
4696
-----------------------
4697
4698
BUG FIXES:
4699
4700
* Test suite hangs on windows fixed. (Andrew Bennets, Alexander Belchenko).
4701
4702
* Commit performance regression fixed. (Aaron Bentley, Robert Collins, John
4703
Arbash Meinel).
4704
4705
bzr 0.11rc1 2006-09-25
4706
-----------------------
4707
4708
IMPROVEMENTS:
4709
4710
* Knit files now wait to create their contents until the first data is
4711
added. The old code used to create an empty .knit and a .kndx with just
4712
the header. However, this caused a lot of extra round trips over sftp.
4713
This can change the time for ``bzr push`` to create a new remote branch
4714
from 160s down to 100s. This also affects ``bzr commit`` performance when
4715
adding new files, ``bzr commit`` on a new kernel-like tree drops from 50s
4716
down to 40s (John Arbash Meinel, #44692)
4717
4718
* When an entire subtree has been deleted, commit will now report that
4719
just the top of the subtree has been deleted, rather than reporting
4720
all the individual items. (Robert Collins)
4721
4722
* Commit performs one less XML parse. (Robert Collins)
4723
4724
* ``bzr checkout`` now operates on readonly branches as well
4725
as readwrite branches. This fixes bug #39542. (Robert Collins)
4726
4727
* ``bzr bind`` no longer synchronises history with the master branch.
4728
Binding should be followed by an update or push to synchronise the
4729
two branches. This is closely related to the fix for bug #39542.
4730
(Robert Collins)
4731
4732
* ``bzrlib.lazy_import.lazy_import`` function to create on-demand
4733
objects. This allows all imports to stay at the global scope, but
4734
modules will not actually be imported if they are not used.
4735
(John Arbash Meinel)
4736
4737
* Support ``bzr://`` and ``bzr+ssh://`` urls to work with the new RPC-based
4738
transport which will be used with the upcoming high-performance smart
4739
server. The new command ``bzr serve`` will invoke bzr in server mode,
4740
which processes these requests. (Andrew Bennetts, Robert Collins, Martin
4741
Pool)
4742
4743
* New command ``bzr version-info`` which can be used to get a summary
4744
of the current state of the tree. This is especially useful as part
4745
of a build commands. See ``doc/version_info.txt`` for more information
4746
(John Arbash Meinel)
4747
4748
BUG FIXES:
4749
4750
* ``'bzr inventory [FILE...]'`` allows restricting the file list to a
4751
specific set of files. (John Arbash Meinel, #3631)
4752
4753
* Don't abort when annotating empty files (John Arbash Meinel, #56814)
4754
4755
* Add ``Stanza.to_unicode()`` which can be passed to another Stanza
4756
when nesting stanzas. Also, add ``read_stanza_unicode`` to handle when
4757
reading a nested Stanza. (John Arbash Meinel)
4758
4759
* Transform._set_mode() needs to stat the right file.
4760
(John Arbash Meinel, #56549)
4761
4762
* Raise WeaveFormatError rather than StopIteration when trying to read
4763
an empty Weave file. (John Arbash Meinel, #46871)
4764
4765
* Don't access e.code for generic URLErrors, only HTTPErrors have .code.
4766
(Vincent Ladeuil, #59835)
4767
4768
* Handle boundary="" lines properly to allow access through a Squid proxy.
4769
(John Arbash Meinel, #57723)
4770
4771
* revert now removes newly-added directories (Aaron Bentley, #54172)
4772
4773
* ``bzr upgrade sftp://`` shouldn't fail to upgrade v6 branches if there
4774
isn't a working tree. (David Allouche, #40679)
4775
4776
* Give nicer error messages when a user supplies an invalid --revision
4777
parameter. (John Arbash Meinel, #55420)
4778
4779
* Handle when LANG is not recognized by python. Emit a warning, but
4780
just revert to using 'ascii'. (John Arbash Meinel, #35392)
4781
4782
* Don't use ``preexec_fn`` on win32, as it is not supported by subprocess.
4783
(John Arbash Meinel)
4784
4785
* Skip specific tests when the dependencies aren't met. This includes
4786
some ``setup.py`` tests when ``python-dev`` is not available, and
4787
some tests that depend on paramiko. (John Arbash Meinel, Mattheiu Moy)
4788
4789
* Fallback to Paramiko properly, if no ``ssh`` executable exists on
4790
the system. (Andrew Bennetts, John Arbash Meinel)
4791
4792
* ``Branch.bind(other_branch)`` no longer takes a write lock on the
4793
other branch, and will not push or pull between the two branches.
4794
API users will need to perform a push or pull or update operation if they
4795
require branch synchronisation to take place. (Robert Collins, #47344)
4796
4797
* When creating a tarball or zipfile export, export unicode names as utf-8
4798
paths. This may not work perfectly on all platforms, but has the best
4799
chance of working in the common case. (John Arbash Meinel, #56816)
4800
4801
* When committing, only files that exist in working tree or basis tree
4802
may be specified (Aaron Bentley, #50793)
4803
4804
PORTABILITY:
4805
4806
* Fixes to run on Python 2.5 (Brian M. Carlson, Martin Pool, Marien Zwart)
4807
4808
INTERNALS:
4809
4810
* TestCaseInTempDir now creates a separate directory for HOME, rather
4811
than having HOME set to the same location as the working directory.
4812
(John Arbash Meinel)
4813
4814
* ``run_bzr_subprocess()`` can take an optional ``env_changes={}`` parameter,
4815
which will update os.environ inside the spawned child. It also can
4816
take a ``universal_newlines=True``, which helps when checking the output
4817
of the command. (John Arbash Meinel)
4818
4819
* Refactor SFTP vendors to allow easier re-use when ssh is used.
4820
(Andrew Bennetts)
4821
4822
* ``Transport.list_dir()`` and ``Transport.iter_files_recursive()`` should always
4823
return urlescaped paths. This is now tested (there were bugs in a few
4824
of the transports) (Andrew Bennetts, David Allouche, John Arbash Meinel)
4825
4826
* New utility function ``symbol_versioning.deprecation_string``. Returns the
4827
formatted string for a callable, deprecation format pair. (Robert Collins)
4828
4829
* New TestCase helper applyDeprecated. This allows you to call a callable
4830
which is deprecated without it spewing to the screen, just by supplying
4831
the deprecation format string issued for it. (Robert Collins)
4832
4833
* Transport.append and Transport.put have been deprecated in favor of
4834
``.append_bytes``, ``.append_file``, ``.put_bytes``, and
4835
``.put_file``. This removes the ambiguity in what type of object the
4836
functions take. ``Transport.non_atomic_put_{bytes,file}`` has also
4837
been added. Which works similarly to ``Transport.append()`` except for
4838
SFTP, it doesn't have a round trip when opening the file. Also, it
4839
provides functionality for creating a parent directory when trying
4840
to create a file, rather than raise NoSuchFile and forcing the
4841
caller to repeat their request.
4842
(John Arbash Meinel)
4843
4844
* WorkingTree has a new api ``unversion`` which allow the unversioning of
4845
entries by their file id. (Robert Collins)
4846
4847
* ``WorkingTree.pending_merges`` is deprecated. Please use the
4848
``get_parent_ids`` (introduced in 0.10) method instead. (Robert Collins)
4849
4850
* WorkingTree has a new ``lock_tree_write`` method which locks the branch for
4851
read rather than write. This is appropriate for actions which only need
4852
the branch data for reference rather than mutation. A new decorator
4853
``needs_tree_write_lock`` is provided in the workingtree module. Like the
4854
``needs_read_lock`` and ``needs_write_lock`` decorators this allows static
4855
declaration of the locking requirements of a function to ensure that
4856
a lock is taken out for casual scripts. (Robert Collins, #54107)
4857
4858
* All WorkingTree methods which write to the tree, but not to the branch
4859
have been converted to use ``needs_tree_write_lock`` rather than
4860
``needs_write_lock``. Also converted is the revert, conflicts and tree
4861
transform modules. This provides a modest performance improvement on
4862
metadir style trees, due to the reduce lock-acquisition, and a more
4863
significant performance improvement on lightweight checkouts from
4864
remote branches, where trivial operations used to pay a significant
4865
penalty. It also provides the basis for allowing readonly checkouts.
4866
(Robert Collins)
4867
4868
* Special case importing the standard library 'copy' module. This shaves
4869
off 40ms of startup time, while retaining compatibility. See:
4870
``bzrlib/inspect_for_copy.py`` for more details. (John Arbash Meinel)
4871
4872
* WorkingTree has a new parent class MutableTree which represents the
4873
specialisations of Tree which are able to be altered. (Robert Collins)
4874
4875
* New methods mkdir and ``put_file_bytes_non_atomic`` on MutableTree that
4876
mutate the tree and its contents. (Robert Collins)
4877
4878
* Transport behaviour at the root of the URL is now defined and tested.
4879
(Andrew Bennetts, Robert Collins)
4880
4881
TESTING:
4882
4883
* New test helper classs MemoryTree. This is typically accessed via
4884
``self.make_branch_and_memory_tree()`` in test cases. (Robert Collins)
4885
4886
* Add ``start_bzr_subprocess`` and ``stop_bzr_subprocess`` to allow test
4887
code to continue running concurrently with a subprocess of bzr.
4888
(Andrew Bennetts, Robert Collins)
4889
4890
* Add a new method ``Transport.get_smart_client()``. This is provided to
4891
allow upgrades to a richer interface than the VFS one provided by
4892
Transport. (Andrew Bennetts, Martin Pool)
4893
4894
bzr 0.10 2006-08-29
4895
--------------------
4896
4897
IMPROVEMENTS:
4898
* 'merge' now takes --uncommitted, to apply uncommitted changes from a
4899
tree. (Aaron Bentley)
4900
4901
* 'bzr add --file-ids-from' can be used to specify another path to use
4902
for creating file ids, rather than generating all new ones. Internally,
4903
the 'action' passed to ``smart_add_tree()`` can return ``file_ids`` that
4904
will be used, rather than having bzrlib generate new ones.
4905
(John Arbash Meinel, #55781)
4906
4907
* ``bzr selftest --benchmark`` now allows a ``--cache-dir`` parameter.
4908
This will cache some of the intermediate trees, and decrease the
4909
setup time for benchmark tests. (John Arbash Meinel)
4910
4911
* Inverse forms are provided for all boolean options. For example,
4912
--strict has --no-strict, --no-recurse has --recurse (Aaron Bentley)
4913
4914
* Serialize out Inventories directly, rather than using ElementTree.
4915
Writing out a kernel sized inventory drops from 2s down to ~350ms.
4916
(Robert Collins, John Arbash Meinel)
4917
4918
BUG FIXES:
4919
4920
* Help diffutils 2.8.4 get along with binary tests (Marien Zwart: #57614)
4921
4922
* Change LockDir so that if the lock directory doesn't exist when
4923
``lock_write()`` is called, an attempt will be made to create it.
4924
(John Arbash Meinel, #56974)
4925
4926
* ``bzr uncommit`` preserves pending merges. (John Arbash Meinel, #57660)
4927
4928
* Active FTP transport now works as intended. (ghozzy, #56472)
4929
4930
* Really fix mutter() so that it won't ever raise a UnicodeError.
4931
It means it is possible for ~/.bzr.log to contain non UTF-8 characters.
4932
But it is a debugging log, not a real user file.
4933
(John Arbash Meinel, #56947, #53880)
4934
4935
* Change Command handle to allow Unicode command and options.
4936
At present we cannot register Unicode command names, so we will get
4937
BzrCommandError('unknown command'), or BzrCommandError('unknown option')
4938
But that is better than a UnicodeError + a traceback.
4939
(John Arbash Meinel, #57123)
4940
4941
* Handle TZ=UTC properly when reading/writing revisions.
4942
(John Arbash Meinel, #55783, #56290)
4943
4944
* Use ``GPG_TTY`` to allow gpg --cl to work with gpg-agent in a pipeline,
4945
(passing text to sign in on stdin). (John Arbash Meinel, #54468)
4946
4947
* External diff does the right thing for binaries even in foreign
4948
languages. (John Arbash Meinel, #56307)
4949
4950
* Testament handles more cases when content is unicode. Specific bug was
4951
in handling of revision properties.
4952
(John Arbash Meinel, Holger Krekel, #54723)
4953
4954
* The bzr selftest was failing on installed versions due to a bug in a new
4955
test helper. (John Arbash Meinel, Robert Collins, #58057)
4956
4957
INTERNALS:
4958
4959
* ``bzrlib.cache_utf8`` contains ``encode()`` and ``decode()`` functions
4960
which can be used to cache the conversion between utf8 and Unicode.
4961
Especially helpful for some of the knit annotation code, which has to
4962
convert revision ids to utf8 to annotate lines in storage.
4963
(John Arbash Meinel)
4964
4965
* ``setup.py`` now searches the filesystem to find all packages which
4966
need to be installed. This should help make the life of packagers
4967
easier. (John Arbash Meinel)
4968
4969
bzr 0.9.0 2006-08-11
4970
---------------------
4971
4972
SURPRISES:
4973
4974
* The hard-coded built-in ignore rules have been removed. There are
4975
now two rulesets which are enforced. A user global one in
4976
``~/.bazaar/ignore`` which will apply to every tree, and the tree
4977
specific one '.bzrignore'.
4978
``~/.bazaar/ignore`` will be created if it does not exist, but with
4979
a more conservative list than the old default.
4980
This fixes bugs with default rules being enforced no matter what.
4981
The old list of ignore rules from bzr is available by
4982
running 'bzr ignore --old-default-rules'.
4983
(Robert Collins, Martin Pool, John Arbash Meinel)
4984
4985
* 'branches.conf' has been changed to 'locations.conf', since it can apply
4986
to more locations than just branch locations.
4987
(Aaron Bentley)
4988
4989
IMPROVEMENTS:
4990
4991
* The revision specifier "revno:" is extended to accept the syntax
4992
revno:N:branch. For example,
4993
revno:42:http://bazaar-vcs.org/bzr/bzr.dev/ means revision 42 in
4994
bzr.dev. (Matthieu Moy)
4995
4996
* Tests updates to ensure proper URL handling, UNICODE support, and
4997
proper printing when the user's terminal encoding cannot display
4998
the path of a file that has been versioned.
4999
``bzr branch`` can take a target URL rather than only a local directory.
5000
``Branch.get_parent()/set_parent()`` now save a relative path if possible,
5001
and normalize the parent based on root, allowing access across
5002
different transports. (John Arbash Meinel, Wouter van Heyst, Martin Pool)
5003
(Malone #48906, #42699, #40675, #5281, #3980, #36363, #43689,
5004
#42517, #42514)
5005
5006
* On Unix, detect terminal width using an ioctl not just $COLUMNS.
5007
Use terminal width for single-line logs from ``bzr log --line`` and
5008
pending-merge display. (Robert Widhopf-Fenk, Gustavo Niemeyer)
5009
(Malone #3507)
5010
5011
* On Windows, detect terminal width using GetConsoleScreenBufferInfo.
5012
(Alexander Belchenko)
5013
5014
* Speedup improvement for 'date:'-revision search. (Guillaume Pinot).
5015
5016
* Show the correct number of revisions pushed when pushing a new branch.
5017
(Robert Collins).
5018
5019
* 'bzr selftest' now shows a progress bar with the number of tests, and
5020
progress made. 'make check' shows tests in -v mode, to be more useful
5021
for the PQM status window. (Robert Collins).
5022
When using a progress bar, failed tests are printed out, rather than
5023
being overwritten by the progress bar until the suite finishes.
5024
(John Arbash Meinel)
5025
5026
* 'bzr selftest --benchmark' will run a new benchmarking selftest.
5027
'bzr selftest --benchmark --lsprof-timed' will use lsprofile to generate
5028
profile data for the individual profiled calls, allowing for fine
5029
grained analysis of performance.
5030
(Robert Collins, Martin Pool).
5031
5032
* 'bzr commit' shows a progress bar. This is useful for commits over sftp
5033
where commit can take an appreciable time. (Robert Collins)
5034
5035
* 'bzr add' is now less verbose in telling you what ignore globs were
5036
matched by files being ignored. Instead it just tells you how many
5037
were ignored (because you might reasonably be expecting none to be
5038
ignored). 'bzr add -v' is unchanged and will report every ignored
5039
file. (Robert Collins).
5040
5041
* ftp now has a test server if medusa is installed. As part of testing,
5042
ftp support has been improved, including support for supplying a
5043
non-standard port. (John Arbash Meinel).
5044
5045
* 'bzr log --line' shows the revision number, and uses only the
5046
first line of the log message (#5162, Alexander Belchenko;
5047
Matthieu Moy)
5048
5049
* 'bzr status' has had the --all option removed. The 'bzr ls' command
5050
should be used to retrieve all versioned files. (Robert Collins)
5051
5052
* 'bzr bundle OTHER/BRANCH' will create a bundle which can be sent
5053
over email, and applied on the other end, while maintaining ancestry.
5054
This bundle can be applied with either 'bzr merge' or 'bzr pull',
5055
the same way you would apply another branch.
5056
(John Arbash Meinel, Aaron Bentley)
5057
5058
* 'bzr whoami' can now be used to set your identity from the command line,
5059
for a branch or globally. (Robey Pointer)
5060
5061
* 'bzr checkout' now aliased to 'bzr co', and 'bzr annotate' to 'bzr ann'.
5062
(Michael Ellerman)
5063
5064
* 'bzr revert DIRECTORY' now reverts the contents of the directory as well.
5065
(Aaron Bentley)
5066
5067
* 'bzr get sftp://foo' gives a better error when paramiko is not present.
5068
Also updates things like 'http+pycurl://' if pycurl is not present.
5069
(John Arbash Meinel) (Malone #47821, #52204)
5070
5071
* New env variable ``BZR_PROGRESS_BAR``, sets the default progress bar type.
5072
Can be set to 'none' or 'dummy' to disable the progress bar, 'dots' or
5073
'tty' to create the respective type. (John Arbash Meinel, #42197, #51107)
5074
5075
* Improve the help text for 'bzr diff' to explain what various options do.
5076
(John Arbash Meinel, #6391)
5077
5078
* 'bzr uncommit -r 10' now uncommits revisions 11.. rather than uncommitting
5079
revision 10. This makes -r10 more in line with what other commands do.
5080
'bzr uncommit' also now saves the pending merges of the revisions that
5081
were removed. So it is safe to uncommit after a merge, fix something,
5082
and commit again. (John Arbash Meinel, #32526, #31426)
5083
5084
* 'bzr init' now also works on remote locations.
5085
(Wouter van Heyst, #48904)
5086
5087
* HTTP support has been updated. When using pycurl we now support
5088
connection keep-alive, which reduces dns requests and round trips.
5089
And for both urllib and pycurl we support multi-range requests,
5090
which decreases the number of round-trips. Performance results for
5091
``bzr branch http://bazaar-vcs.org/bzr/bzr.dev/`` indicate
5092
http branching is now 2-3x faster, and ``bzr pull`` in an existing
5093
branch is as much as 4x faster.
5094
(Michael Ellerman, Johan Rydberg, John Arbash Meinel, #46768)
5095
5096
* Performance improvements for sftp. Branching and pulling are now up to
5097
2x faster. Utilize paramiko.readv() support for async requests if it
5098
is available (paramiko > 1.6) (John Arbash Meinel)
5099
5100
BUG FIXES:
5101
5102
* Fix shadowed definition of TestLocationConfig that caused some
5103
tests not to run.
5104
(Erik Bågfors, Michael Ellerman, Martin Pool, #32587)
5105
5106
* Fix unnecessary requirement of sign-my-commits that it be run from
5107
a working directory. (Martin Pool, Robert Collins)
5108
5109
* 'bzr push location' will only remember the push location if it succeeds
5110
in connecting to the remote location. (John Arbash Meinel, #49742)
5111
5112
* 'bzr revert' no longer toggles the executable bit on win32
5113
(John Arbash Meinel, #45010)
5114
5115
* Handle broken pipe under win32 correctly. (John Arbash Meinel)
5116
5117
* sftp tests now work correctly on win32 if you have a newer paramiko
5118
(John Arbash Meinel)
5119
5120
* Cleanup win32 test suite, and general cleanup of places where
5121
file handles were being held open. (John Arbash Meinel)
5122
5123
* When specifying filenames for 'diff -r x..y', the name of the file in the
5124
working directory can be used, even if its name is different in both x
5125
and y.
5126
5127
* File-ids containing single- or double-quotes are handled correctly by
5128
push. (Aaron Bentley, #52227)
5129
5130
* Normalize unicode filenames to ensure cross-platform consistency.
5131
(John Arbash Meinel, #43689)
5132
5133
* The argument parser can now handle '-' as an argument. Currently
5134
no code interprets it specially (it is mostly handled as a file named
5135
'-'). But plugins, and future operations can use it.
5136
(John Arbash meinel, #50984)
5137
5138
* Bundles can properly read binary files with a plain '\r' in them.
5139
(John Arbash Meinel, #51927)
5140
5141
* Tuning ``iter_entries()`` to be more efficient (John Arbash Meinel, #5444)
5142
5143
* Lots of win32 fixes (the test suite passes again).
5144
(John Arbash Meinel, #50155)
5145
5146
* Handle openbsd returning None for sys.getfilesystemencoding() (#41183)
5147
5148
* Support ftp APPE (append) to allow Knits to be used over ftp (#42592)
5149
5150
* Removals are only committed if they match the filespec (or if there is
5151
no filespec). (#46635, Aaron Bentley)
5152
5153
* smart-add recurses through all supplied directories
5154
(John Arbash Meinel, #52578)
5155
5156
* Make the bundle reader extra lines before and after the bundle text.
5157
This allows you to parse an email with the bundle inline.
5158
(John Arbash Meinel, #49182)
5159
5160
* Change the file id generator to squash a little bit more. Helps when
5161
working with long filenames on windows. (Also helps for unicode filenames
5162
not generating hidden files). (John Arbash Meinel, #43801)
5163
5164
* Restore terminal mode on C-c while reading sftp password. (#48923,
5165
Nicholas Allen, Martin Pool)
5166
5167
* Timestamps are rounded to 1ms, and revision entries can be recreated
5168
exactly. (John Arbash Meinel, Jamie Wilkinson, #40693)
5169
5170
* Branch.base has changed to a URL, but ~/.bazaar/locations.conf should
5171
use local paths, since it is user visible (John Arbash Meinel, #53653)
5172
5173
* ``bzr status foo`` when foo was unversioned used to cause a full delta
5174
to be generated (John Arbash Meinel, #53638)
5175
5176
* When reading revision properties, an empty value should be considered
5177
the empty string, not None (John Arbash Meinel, #47782)
5178
5179
* ``bzr diff --diff-options`` can now handle binary files being changed.
5180
Also, the output is consistent when --diff-options is not supplied.
5181
(John Arbash Meinel, #54651, #52930)
5182
5183
* Use the right suffixes for loading plugins (John Arbash Meinel, #51810)
5184
5185
* Fix ``Branch.get_parent()`` to handle the case when the parent is not
5186
accessible (John Arbash Meinel, #52976)
5187
5188
INTERNALS:
5189
5190
* Combine the ignore rules into a single regex rather than looping over
5191
them to reduce the threshold where N^2 behaviour occurs in operations
5192
like status. (Jan Hudec, Robert Collins).
5193
5194
* Appending to ``bzrlib.DEFAULT_IGNORE`` is now deprecated. Instead, use
5195
one of the add functions in bzrlib.ignores. (John Arbash Meinel)
5196
5197
* 'bzr push' should only push the ancestry of the current revision, not
5198
all of the history in the repository. This is especially important for
5199
shared repositories. (John Arbash Meinel)
5200
5201
* ``bzrlib.delta.compare_trees`` now iterates in alphabetically sorted order,
5202
rather than randomly walking the inventories. (John Arbash Meinel)
5203
5204
* Doctests are now run in temporary directories which are cleaned up when
5205
they finish, rather than using special ScratchDir/ScratchBranch objects.
5206
(Martin Pool)
5207
5208
* Split ``check`` into separate methods on the branch and on the repository,
5209
so that it can be specialized in ways that are useful or efficient for
5210
different formats. (Martin Pool, Robert Collins)
5211
5212
* Deprecate ``Repository.all_revision_ids``; most methods don't really need
5213
the global revision graph but only that part leading up to a particular
5214
revision. (Martin Pool, Robert Collins)
5215
5216
* Add a BzrDirFormat ``control_formats`` list which allows for control formats
5217
that do not use '.bzr' to store their data - i.e. '.svn', '.hg' etc.
5218
(Robert Collins, Jelmer Vernooij).
5219
5220
* ``bzrlib.diff.external_diff`` can be redirected to any file-like object.
5221
Uses subprocess instead of spawnvp.
5222
(James Henstridge, John Arbash Meinel, #4047, #48914)
5223
5224
* New command line option '--profile-imports', which will install a custom
5225
importer to log time to import modules and regex compilation time to
5226
sys.stderr (John Arbash Meinel)
5227
5228
* 'EmptyTree' is now deprecated, please use ``repository.revision_tree(None)``
5229
instead. (Robert Collins)
5230
5231
* "RevisionTree" is now in bzrlib/revisiontree.py. (Robert Collins)

5245
* Fix failure to commit a merge in a checkout. (Martin Pool,
5246
Robert Collins, Erik Bågfors, #43959)
5247
5248
* Nicer messages from 'commit' in the case of renames, and correct
5249
messages when a merge has occured. (Robert Collins, Martin Pool)
5250
5251
* Separate functionality from assert statements as they are skipped in
5252
optimized mode of python. Add the same check to pending merges.

5263
5264
CHANGES:
5265
5266
* Make editor invocation comply with Debian Policy. First check
5267
environment variables VISUAL and EDITOR, then try editor from
5268
alternatives system. If that all fails, fall back to the pre-defined
5269
list of editors. (Olaf Conradi, #42904)
5270
5271
NEW FEATURES:
5272
5273
* New 'register-branch' command registers a public branch into
5274
Launchpad.net, where it can be associated with bugs, etc.
5275
(Martin Pool, Bjorn Tillenius, Robert Collins)
5276
5277
INTERNALS:
5278
5279
* New public api in InventoryEntry - ``describe_change(old, new)`` which

new. (Robert Collins, Martin Pool)
5282
5283
TESTING:

5288
bzr 0.8 2006-05-08
5289
-------------------
5290
5291
NOTES WHEN UPGRADING:
5292
5293
Release 0.8 of bzr introduces a new format for history storage, called
5294
'knit', as an evolution of to the 'weave' format used in 0.7. Local
5295
and remote operations are faster using knits than weaves. Several
5296
operations including 'init', 'init-repo', and 'upgrade' take a
5297
--format option that controls this. Branching from an existing branch
5298
will keep the same format.
5299
5300
It is possible to merge, pull and push between branches of different
5301
formats but this is slower than moving data between homogenous
5302
branches. It is therefore recommended (but not required) that you
5303
upgrade all branches for a project at the same time. Information on
5304
formats is shown by 'bzr info'.
5305
5306
bzr 0.8 now allows creation of 'repositories', which hold the history
5307
of files and revisions for several branches. Previously bzr kept all
5308
the history for a branch within the .bzr directory at the root of the
5309
branch, and this is still the default. To create a repository, use
5310
the new 'bzr init-repo' command. Branches exist as directories under
5311
the repository and contain just a small amount of information
5312
indicating the current revision of the branch.
5313
5314
bzr 0.8 also supports 'checkouts', which are similar to in cvs and
5315
subversion. Checkouts are associated with a branch (optionally in a
5316
repository), which contains all the historical information. The
5317
result is that a checkout can be deleted without losing any
5318
already-committed revisions. A new 'update' command is also available.
5319
5320
Repositories and checkouts are not supported with the 0.7 storage
5321
format. To use them you must upgrad to either knits, or to the
5322
'metaweave' format, which uses weaves but changes the .bzr directory
5323
arrangement.
5324
5325
5326
IMPROVEMENTS:
5327
5328
* Sftp paths can now be relative, or local, according to the lftp
5329
convention. Paths now take the form::
5330
5331
sftp://user:pass@host:port/~/relative/path
5332
or
5333
sftp://user:pass@host:port/absolute/path
5334
5335
* The FTP transport now tries to reconnect after a temporary
5336
failure. ftp put is made atomic. (Matthieu Moy)
5337
5338
* The FTP transport now maintains a pool of connections, and
5339
reuses them to avoid multiple connections to the same host (like
5340
sftp did). (Daniel Silverstone)
5341
5342
* The ``bzr_man.py`` file has been removed. To create the man page now,
5343
use ``./generate_docs.py man``. The new program can also create other files.
5344
Run ``python generate_docs.py --help`` for usage information.
5345
(Hans Ulrich Niedermann & James Blackwell).
5346
5347
* Man Page now gives full help (James Blackwell).
5348
Help also updated to reflect user config now being stored in .bazaar
5349
(Hans Ulrich Niedermann)
5350
5351
* It's now possible to set aliases in bazaar.conf (Erik Bågfors)
5352
5353
* Pull now accepts a --revision argument (Erik Bågfors)
5354
5355
* ``bzr re-sign`` now allows multiple revisions to be supplied on the command
5356
line. You can now use the following command to sign all of your old
5357
commits::
5358
5359
find .bzr/revision-store// -name my@email-* \
5360
| sed 's/.*\/\/..\///' \
5361
| xargs bzr re-sign
5362
5363
* Upgrade can now upgrade over the network. (Robert Collins)
5364
5365
* Two new commands 'bzr checkout' and 'bzr update' allow for CVS/SVN-alike
5366
behaviour. By default they will cache history in the checkout, but
5367
with --lightweight almost all data is kept in the master branch.
5368
(Robert Collins)
5369
5370
* 'revert' unversions newly-versioned files, instead of deleting them.
5371
5372
* 'merge' is more robust. Conflict messages have changed.
5373
5374
* 'merge' and 'revert' no longer clobber existing files that end in '~' or
5375
'.moved'.
5376
5377
* Default log format can be set in configuration and plugins can register
5378
their own formatters. (Erik Bågfors)
5379
5380
* New 'reconcile' command will check branch consistency and repair indexes
5381
that can become out of sync in pre 0.8 formats. (Robert Collins,
5382
Daniel Silverstone)
5383
5384
* New 'bzr init --format' and 'bzr upgrade --format' option to control
5385
what storage format is created or produced. (Robert Collins,
5386
Martin Pool)
5387
5388
* Add parent location to 'bzr info', if there is one. (Olaf Conradi)
5389
5390
* New developer commands 'weave-list' and 'weave-join'. (Martin Pool)
5391
5392
* New 'init-repository' command, plus support for repositories in 'init'
5393
and 'branch' (Aaron Bentley, Erik Bågfors, Robert Collins)
5394
5395
* Improve output of 'info' command. Show all relevant locations related to
5396
working tree, branch and repository. Use kibibytes for binary quantities.
5397
Fix off-by-one error in missing revisions of working tree. Make 'info'
5398
work on branches, repositories and remote locations. Show locations
5399
relative to the shared repository, if applicable. Show locking status
5400
of locations. (Olaf Conradi)
5401
5402
* Diff and merge now safely handle binary files. (Aaron Bentley)
5403
5404
* 'pull' and 'push' now normalise the revision history, so that any two
5405
branches with the same tip revision will have the same output from 'log'.
5406
(Robert Collins)
5407
5408
* 'merge' accepts --remember option to store parent location, like 'push'
5409
and 'pull'. (Olaf Conradi)
5410
5411
* bzr status and diff when files given as arguments do not exist
5412
in the relevant trees. (Martin Pool, #3619)
5413
5414
* Add '.hg' to the default ignore list. (Martin Pool)
5415
5416
* 'knit' is now the default disk format. This improves disk performance and
5417
utilization, increases incremental pull performance, robustness with SFTP
5418
and allows checkouts over SFTP to perform acceptably.
5419
The initial Knit code was contributed by Johan Rydberg based on a
5420
specification by Martin Pool.
5421
(Robert Collins, Aaron Bentley, Johan Rydberg, Martin Pool).
5422
5423
* New tool to generate all-in-one html version of the manual. (Alexander
5424
Belchenko)
5425
5426
* Hitting CTRL-C while doing an SFTP push will no longer cause stale locks
5427
to be left in the SFTP repository. (Robert Collins, Martin Pool).
5428
5429
* New option 'diff --prefix' to control how files are named in diff
5430
output, with shortcuts '-p0' and '-p1' corresponding to the options for
5431
GNU patch. (Alexander Belchenko, Goffredo Baroncelli, Martin Pool)
5432
5433
* Add --revision option to 'annotate' command. (Olaf Conradi)
5434
5435
* If bzr shows an unexpected revision-history after pulling (perhaps due
5436
to a reweave) it can now be corrected by 'bzr reconcile'.
5437
(Robert Collins)
5438
5439
CHANGES:
5440
5441
* Commit is now verbose by default, and shows changed filenames and the
5442
new revision number. (Robert Collins, Martin Pool)
5443
5444
* Unify 'mv', 'move', 'rename'. (Matthew Fuller, #5379)
5445
5446
* 'bzr -h' shows help. (Martin Pool, Ian Bicking, #35940)
5447
5448
* Make 'pull' and 'push' remember location on failure using --remember.
5449
(Olaf Conradi)
5450
5451
* For compatibility, make old format for using weaves inside metadir
5452
available as 'metaweave' format. Rename format 'metadir' to 'default'.
5453
Clean up help for option --format in commands 'init', 'init-repo' and
5454
'upgrade'. (Olaf Conradi)
5455
5456
INTERNALS:
5457
5458
* The internal storage of history, and logical branch identity have now
5459
been split into Branch, and Repository. The common locking and file
5460
management routines are now in bzrlib.lockablefiles.
5461
(Aaron Bentley, Robert Collins, Martin Pool)
5462
5463
* Transports can now raise DependencyNotPresent if they need a library
5464
which is not installed, and then another implementation will be
5465
tried. (Martin Pool)
5466
5467
* Remove obsolete (and no-op) `decode` parameter to `Transport.get`.
5468
(Martin Pool)
5469
5470
* Using Tree Transform for merge, revert, tree-building
5471
5472
* WorkingTree.create, Branch.create, ``WorkingTree.create_standalone``,
5473
Branch.initialize are now deprecated. Please see ``BzrDir.create_*`` for
5474
replacement API's. (Robert Collins)
5475
5476
* New BzrDir class represents the .bzr control directory and manages
5477
formatting issues. (Robert Collins)
5478
5479
* New repository.InterRepository class encapsulates Repository to
5480
Repository actions and allows for clean selection of optimised code
5481
paths. (Robert Collins)
5482
5483
* ``bzrlib.fetch.fetch`` and ``bzrlib.fetch.greedy_fetch`` are now
5484
deprecated, please use ``branch.fetch`` or ``repository.fetch``
5485
depending on your needs. (Robert Collins)
5486
5487
* deprecated methods now have a ``is_deprecated`` flag on them that can
5488
be checked, if you need to determine whether a given callable is
5489
deprecated at runtime. (Robert Collins)
5490
5491
* Progress bars are now nested - see
5492
``bzrlib.ui.ui_factory.nested_progress_bar``.
5493
(Robert Collins, Robey Pointer)
5494
5495
* New API call ``get_format_description()`` for each type of format.
5496
(Olaf Conradi)
5497
5498
* Changed ``branch.set_parent()`` to accept None to remove parent.
5499
(Olaf Conradi)
5500
5501
* Deprecated BzrError AmbiguousBase. (Olaf Conradi)
5502
5503
* WorkingTree.branch is now a read only property. (Robert Collins)
5504
5505
* bzrlib.ui.text.TextUIFactory now accepts a ``bar_type`` parameter which
5506
can be None or a factory that will create a progress bar. This is
5507
useful for testing or for overriding the bzrlib.progress heuristic.
5508
(Robert Collins)
5509
5510
* New API method ``get_physical_lock_status()`` to query locks present on a
5511
transport. (Olaf Conradi)
5512
5513
* Repository.reconcile now takes a thorough keyword parameter to allow
5514
requesting an indepth reconciliation, rather than just a data-loss
5515
check. (Robert Collins)
5516
5517
* ``bzrlib.ui.ui_factory protocol`` now supports ``get_boolean`` to prompt
5518
the user for yes/no style input. (Robert Collins)
5519
5520
TESTING:
5521
5522
* SFTP tests now shortcut the SSH negotiation, reducing test overhead
5523
for testing SFTP protocol support. (Robey Pointer)
5524
5525
* Branch formats are now tested once per implementation (see ``bzrlib.
5526
tests.branch_implementations``. This is analagous to the transport
5527
interface tests, and has been followed up with working tree,
5528
repository and BzrDir tests. (Robert Collins)
5529
5530
* New test base class TestCaseWithTransport provides a transport aware
5531
test environment, useful for testing any transport-interface using
5532
code. The test suite option --transport controls the transport used
5533
by this class (when its not being used as part of implementation
5534
contract testing). (Robert Collins)
5535
5536
* Close logging handler on disabling the test log. This will remove the
5537
handler from the internal list inside python's logging module,
5538
preventing shutdown from closing it twice. (Olaf Conradi)
5539
5540
* Move test case for uncommit to blackbox tests. (Olaf Conradi)
5541
5542
* ``run_bzr`` and ``run_bzr_captured`` now accept a 'stdin="foo"'
5543
parameter which will provide String("foo") to the command as its stdin.
5544

bzr 0.7 2006-01-09
5546
------------------
5547
5548
CHANGES:
5549
5550
* .bzrignore is excluded from exports, on the grounds that it's a bzr
5551
internal-use file and may not be wanted. (Jamie Wilkinson)
5552
5553
* The "bzr directories" command were removed in favor of the new
5554
--kind option to the "bzr inventory" command. To list all
5555
versioned directories, now use "bzr inventory --kind directory".
5556
(Johan Rydberg)
5557
5558
* Under Windows configuration directory is now ``%APPDATA%\bazaar\2.0``
5559
by default. (John Arbash Meinel)
5560
5561
* The parent of Bzr configuration directory can be set by ``BZR_HOME``
5562
environment variable. Now the path for it is searched in ``BZR_HOME``,
5563
then in HOME. Under Windows the order is: ``BZR_HOME``, ``APPDATA``
5564
(usually points to ``C:\Documents and Settings\User Name\Application Data``),
5565
``HOME``. (John Arbash Meinel)
5566
5567
* Plugins with the same name in different directories in the bzr plugin
5568
path are no longer loaded: only the first successfully loaded one is
5569
used. (Robert Collins)
5570
5571
* Use systems' external ssh command to open connections if possible.
5572
This gives better integration with user settings such as ProxyCommand.
5573
(James Henstridge)
5574
5575
* Permissions on files underneath .bzr/ are inherited from the .bzr
5576
directory. So for a shared repository, simply doing 'chmod -R g+w .bzr/'
5577
will mean that future file will be created with group write permissions.
5578
5579
* configure.in and config.guess are no longer in the builtin default
5580
ignore list.
5581
5582
* '.sw[nop]' pattern ignored, to ignore vim swap files for nameless
5583
files. (John Arbash Meinel, Martin Pool)
5584
5585
IMPROVEMENTS:
5586
5587
* "bzr INIT dir" now initializes the specified directory, and creates
5588
it if it does not exist. (John Arbash Meinel)
5589
5590
* New remerge command (Aaron Bentley)
5591
5592
* Better zsh completion script. (Steve Borho)
5593
5594
* 'bzr diff' now returns 1 when there are changes in the working
5595
tree. (Robert Collins)
5596
5597
* 'bzr push' now exists and can push changes to a remote location.
5598
This uses the transport infrastructure, and can store the remote
5599
location in the ~/.bazaar/branches.conf configuration file.
5600
(Robert Collins)
5601
5602
* Test directories are only kept if the test fails and the user requests
5603
that they be kept.
5604
5605
* Tweaks to short log printing
5606
5607
* Added branch nicks, new nick command, printing them in log output.
5608
(Aaron Bentley)
5609
5610
* If ``$BZR_PDB`` is set, pop into the debugger when an uncaught exception
5611
occurs. (Martin Pool)
5612
5613
* Accept 'bzr resolved' (an alias for 'bzr resolve'), as this is
5614
the same as Subversion. (Martin Pool)
5615
5616
* New ftp transport support (on ftplib), for ftp:// and aftp://
5617
URLs. (Daniel Silverstone)
5618
5619
* Commit editor temporary files now start with ``bzr_log.``, to allow
5620
text editors to match the file name and set up appropriate modes or
5621
settings. (Magnus Therning)
5622
5623
* Improved performance when integrating changes from a remote weave.
5624
(Goffredo Baroncelli)
5625
5626
* Sftp will attempt to cache the connection, so it is more likely that
5627
a connection will be reused, rather than requiring multiple password
5628
requests.
5629
5630
* bzr revno now takes an optional argument indicating the branch whose
5631
revno should be printed. (Michael Ellerman)
5632
5633
* bzr cat defaults to printing the last version of the file.
5634
(Matthieu Moy, #3632)
5635
5636
* New global option 'bzr --lsprof COMMAND' runs bzr under the lsprof
5637
profiler. (Denys Duchier)
5638
5639
* Faster commits by reading only the headers of affected weave files.
5640
(Denys Duchier)
5641
5642
* 'bzr add' now takes a --dry-run parameter which shows you what would be
5643
added, but doesn't actually add anything. (Michael Ellerman)
5644
5645
* 'bzr add' now lists how many files were ignored per glob. add --verbose
5646
lists the specific files. (Aaron Bentley)
5647
5648
* 'bzr missing' now supports displaying changes in diverged trees and can
5649
be limited to show what either end of the comparison is missing.
5650
(Aaron Bently, with a little prompting from Daniel Silverstone)
5651
5652
BUG FIXES:
5653
5654
* SFTP can walk up to the root path without index errors. (Robert Collins)
5655
5656
* Fix bugs in running bzr with 'python -O'. (Martin Pool)
5657
5658
* Error when run with -OO
5659
5660
* Fix bug in reporting http errors that don't have an http error code.
5661
(Martin Pool)
5662
5663
* Handle more cases of pipe errors in display commands
5664
5665
* Change status to 3 for all errors
5666
5667
* Files that are added and unlinked before committing are completely
5668
ignored by diff and status
5669
5670
* Stores with some compressed texts and some uncompressed texts are now
5671
able to be used. (John A Meinel)
5672
5673
* Fix for bzr pull failing sometimes under windows
5674
5675
* Fix for sftp transport under windows when using interactive auth
5676
5677
* Show files which are both renamed and modified as such in 'bzr
5678
status' output. (Daniel Silverstone, #4503)
5679
5680
* Make annotate cope better with revisions committed without a valid
5681
email address. (Marien Zwart)
5682
5683
* Fix representation of tab characters in commit messages.
5684
(Harald Meland)
5685
5686
* List of plugin directories in ``BZR_PLUGIN_PATH`` environment variable is
5687
now parsed properly under Windows. (Alexander Belchenko)
5688
5689
* Show number of revisions pushed/pulled/merged. (Robey Pointer)
5690
5691
* Keep a cached copy of the basis inventory to speed up operations
5692
that need to refer to it. (Johan Rydberg, Martin Pool)
5693
5694
* Fix bugs in bzr status display of non-ascii characters.
5695
(Martin Pool)
5696
5697
* Remove Makefile.in from default ignore list.
5698
(Tollef Fog Heen, Martin Pool, #6413)
5699
5700
* Fix failure in 'bzr added'. (Nathan McCallum, Martin Pool)
5701
5702
TESTING:
5703
5704
* Fix selftest asking for passwords when there are no SFTP keys.
5705
(Robey Pointer, Jelmer Vernooij)
5706
5707
* Fix selftest run with 'python -O'. (Martin Pool)
5708
5709
* Fix HTTP tests under Windows. (John Arbash Meinel)
5710
5711
* Make tests work even if HOME is not set (Aaron Bentley)
5712
5713
* Updated ``build_tree`` to use fixed line-endings for tests which read
5714
the file cotents and compare. Make some tests use this to pass under
5715
Windows. (John Arbash Meinel)
5716
5717
* Skip stat and symlink tests under Windows. (Alexander Belchenko)
5718
5719
* Delay in selftest/testhashcash is now issued under win32 and Cygwin.
5720
(John Arbash Meinel)
5721
5722
* Use terminal width to align verbose test output. (Martin Pool)
5723
5724
* Blackbox tests are maintained within the bzrlib.tests.blackbox directory.
5725
If adding a new test script please add that to
5726
``bzrlib.tests.blackbox.__init__``. (Robert Collins)
5727
5728
* Much better error message if one of the test suites can't be
5729
imported. (Martin Pool)
5730
5731
* Make check now runs the test suite twice - once with the default locale,
5732
and once with all locales forced to C, to expose bugs. This is not
5733
trivially done within python, so for now its only triggered by running
5734
Make check. Integrators and packagers who wish to check for full
5735
platform support should run 'make check' to test the source.
5736
(Robert Collins)
5737
5738
* Tests can now run TestSkipped if they can't execute for any reason.
5739
(Martin Pool) (NB: TestSkipped should only be raised for correctable
5740
reasons - see the wiki spec ImprovingBzrTestSuite).
5741
5742
* Test sftp with relative, absolute-in-homedir and absolute-not-in-homedir
5743
paths for the transport tests. Introduce blackbox remote sftp tests that
5744
test the same permutations. (Robert Collins, Robey Pointer)
5745
5746
* Transport implementation tests are now independent of the local file
5747
system, which allows tests for esoteric transports, and for features
5748
not available in the local file system. They also repeat for variations
5749
on the URL scheme that can introduce issues in the transport code,
5750
see bzrlib.transport.TransportTestProviderAdapter() for this.
5751
(Robert Collins).
5752
5753
* ``TestCase.build_tree`` uses the transport interface to build trees,
5754
pass in a transport parameter to give it an existing connection.
5755
(Robert Collins).
5756
5757
INTERNALS:
5758
5759
* WorkingTree.pull has been split across Branch and WorkingTree,
5760
to allow Branch only pulls. (Robert Collins)
5761
5762
* ``commands.display_command`` now returns the result of the decorated
5763
function. (Robert Collins)
5764
5765
* LocationConfig now has a ``set_user_option(key, value)`` call to save
5766
a setting in its matching location section (a new one is created
5767
if needed). (Robert Collins)
5768
5769
* Branch has two new methods, ``get_push_location`` and
5770
``set_push_location`` to respectively, get and set the push location.
5771
(Robert Collins)
5772
5773
* ``commands.register_command`` now takes an optional flag to signal that
5774
the registrant is planning to decorate an existing command. When
5775
given multiple plugins registering a command is not an error, and
5776
the original command class (whether built in or a plugin based one) is
5777
returned to the caller. There is a new error 'MustUseDecorated' for
5778
signalling when a wrapping command should switch to the original
5779
version. (Robert Collins)
5780
5781
* Some option parsing errors will raise 'BzrOptionError', allowing
5782
granular detection for decorating commands. (Robert Collins).
5783
5784
* ``Branch.read_working_inventory`` has moved to
5785
``WorkingTree.read_working_inventory``. This necessitated changes to
5786
``Branch.get_root_id``, and a move of ``Branch.set_inventory`` to
5787
WorkingTree as well. To make it clear that a WorkingTree cannot always
5788
be obtained ``Branch.working_tree()`` will raise
5789
``errors.NoWorkingTree`` if one cannot be obtained. (Robert Collins)
5790
5791
* All pending merges operations from Branch are now on WorkingTree.
5792
(Robert Collins)
5793
5794
* The follow operations from Branch have moved to WorkingTree::
5795
5796
add()
5797
commit()
5798
move()
5799
rename_one()
5800
unknowns()
5801
5802
(Robert Collins)
5803
5804
* ``bzrlib.add.smart_add_branch`` is now ``smart_add_tree``. (Robert Collins)
5805
5806
* New "rio" serialization format, similar to rfc-822. (Martin Pool)
5807
5808
* Rename selftests to ``bzrlib.tests.test_foo``. (John A Meinel, Martin
5809
Pool)
5810
5811
* ``bzrlib.plugin.all_plugins`` has been changed from an attribute to a
5812
query method. (Robert Collins)
5813
5814
* New options to read only the table-of-contents of a weave.
5815
(Denys Duchier)
5816
5817
* Raise NoSuchFile when someone tries to add a non-existant file.
5818
(Michael Ellerman)
5819
5820
* Simplify handling of DivergedBranches in ``cmd_pull()``.
5821
(Michael Ellerman)
5822
5823
* Branch.controlfile* logic has moved to lockablefiles.LockableFiles, which
5824
is exposed as ``Branch().control_files``. Also this has been altered with the
5825
controlfile pre/suffix replaced by simple method names like 'get' and
5826
'put'. (Aaron Bentley, Robert Collins).
5827
5828
* Deprecated functions and methods can now be marked as such using the
5829
``bzrlib.symbol_versioning`` module. Marked method have their docstring
5830
updated and will issue a DeprecationWarning using the warnings module
5831
when they are used. (Robert Collins)
5832
5833
* ``bzrlib.osutils.safe_unicode`` now exists to provide parameter coercion
5834
for functions that need unicode strings. (Robert Collins)
5835
5836
bzr 0.6 2005-10-28
5837
------------------
5838
5839
IMPROVEMENTS:
5840
5841
* pull now takes --verbose to show you what revisions are added or removed
5842
(John A Meinel)
5843
5844
* merge now takes a --show-base option to include the base text in
5845
conflicts.
5846
(Aaron Bentley)
5847
5848
* The config files are now read using ConfigObj, so '=' should be used as
5849
a separator, not ':'.
5850
(Aaron Bentley)
5851
5852
* New 'bzr commit --strict' option refuses to commit if there are
5853
any unknown files in the tree. To commit, make sure all files are
5854
either ignored, added, or deleted. (Michael Ellerman)
5855
5856
* The config directory is now ~/.bazaar, and there is a single file
5857
~/.bazaar/bazaar.conf storing email, editor and other preferences.
5858
(Robert Collins)
5859
5860
* 'bzr add' no longer takes a --verbose option, and a --quiet option
5861
has been added that suppresses all output.
5862
5863
* Improved zsh completion support in contrib/zsh, from Clint
5864
Adams.
5865
5866
* Builtin 'bzr annotate' command, by Martin Pool with improvements from
5867
Goffredo Baroncelli.
5868
5869
* 'bzr check' now accepts -v for verbose reporting, and checks for
5870
ghosts in the branch. (Robert Collins)
5871
5872
* New command 're-sign' which will regenerate the gpg signature for
5873
a revision. (Robert Collins)
5874
5875
* If you set ``check_signatures=require`` for a path in
5876
``~/.bazaar/branches.conf`` then bzr will invoke your
5877
``gpg_signing_command`` (defaults to gpg) and record a digital signature
5878
of your commit. (Robert Collins)
5879
5880
* New sftp transport, based on Paramiko. (Robey Pointer)
5881
5882
* 'bzr pull' now accepts '--clobber' which will discard local changes
5883
and make this branch identical to the source branch. (Robert Collins)
5884
5885
* Just give a quieter warning if a plugin can't be loaded, and
5886
put the details in .bzr.log. (Martin Pool)
5887
5888
* 'bzr branch' will now set the branch-name to the last component of the
5889
output directory, if one was supplied.
5890
5891
* If the option ``post_commit`` is set to one (or more) python function
5892
names (must be in the bzrlib namespace), then they will be invoked
5893
after the commit has completed, with the branch and ``revision_id`` as
5894
parameters. (Robert Collins)
5895
5896
* Merge now has a retcode of 1 when conflicts occur. (Robert Collins)
5897
5898
* --merge-type weave is now supported for file contents. Tree-shape
5899
changes are still three-way based. (Martin Pool, Aaron Bentley)
5900
5901
* 'bzr check' allows the first revision on revision-history to have
5902
parents - something that is expected for cheap checkouts, and occurs
5903
when conversions from baz do not have all history. (Robert Collins).
5904
5905
* 'bzr merge' can now graft unrelated trees together, if your specify
5906
0 as a base. (Aaron Bentley)
5907
5908
* 'bzr commit branch' and 'bzr commit branch/file1 branch/file2' now work
5909
(Aaron Bentley)
5910
5911
* Add '.sconsign*' to default ignore list. (Alexander Belchenko)
5912
5913
* 'bzr merge --reprocess' minimizes conflicts
5914
5915
TESTING:
5916
5917
* The 'bzr selftest --pattern' option for has been removed, now
5918
test specifiers on the command line can be simple strings, or
5919
regexps, or both. (Robert Collins)
5920
5921
* Passing -v to selftest will now show the time each test took to
5922
complete, which will aid in analysing performance regressions and
5923
related questions. (Robert Collins)
5924
5925
* 'bzr selftest' runs all tests, even if one fails, unless '--one'
5926
is given. (Martin Pool)
5927
5928
* There is a new method for TestCaseInTempDir, assertFileEqual, which
5929
will check that a given content is equal to the content of the named
5930
file. (Robert Collins)
5931
5932
* Fix test suite's habit of leaving many temporary log files in $TMPDIR.
5933
(Martin Pool)
5934
5935
INTERNALS:
5936
5937
* New 'testament' command and concept for making gpg-signatures
5938
of revisions that are not tied to a particular internal
5939
representation. (Martin Pool).
5940
5941
* Per-revision properties ('revprops') as key-value associated
5942
strings on each revision created when the revision is committed.
5943
Intended mainly for the use of external tools. (Martin Pool).
5944
5945
* Config options have moved from bzrlib.osutils to bzrlib.config.
5946
(Robert Collins)
5947
5948
* Improved command line option definitions allowing explanations
5949
for individual options, among other things. Contributed by
5950
Magnus Therning.
5951
5952
* Config options have moved from bzrlib.osutils to bzrlib.config.
5953
Configuration is now done via the config.Config interface:
5954
Depending on whether you have a Branch, a Location or no information
5955
available, construct a ``*Config``, and use its ``signature_checking``,
5956
``username`` and ``user_email`` methods. (Robert Collins)
5957
5958
* Plugins are now loaded under bzrlib.plugins, not bzrlib.plugin, and
5959
they are made available for other plugins to use. You should not
5960
import other plugins during the ``__init__`` of your plugin though, as
5961
no ordering is guaranteed, and the plugins directory is not on the
5962
python path. (Robert Collins)
5963
5964
* Branch.relpath has been moved to WorkingTree.relpath. WorkingTree no
5965
no longer takes an inventory, rather it takes an option branch
5966
parameter, and if None is given will open the branch at basedir
5967
implicitly. (Robert Collins)
5968
5969
* Cleaner exception structure and error reporting. Suggested by
5970
Scott James Remnant. (Martin Pool)
5971
5972
* Branch.remove has been moved to WorkingTree, which has also gained
5973
``lock_read``, ``lock_write`` and ``unlock`` methods for convenience.
5974
(Robert Collins)
5975
5976
* Two decorators, ``needs_read_lock`` and ``needs_write_lock`` have been
5977
added to the branch module. Use these to cause a function to run in a
5978
read or write lock respectively. (Robert Collins)
5979
5980
* ``Branch.open_containing`` now returns a tuple (Branch, relative-path),
5981
which allows direct access to the common case of 'get me this file
5982
from its branch'. (Robert Collins)
5983
5984
* Transports can register using ``register_lazy_transport``, and they
5985
will be loaded when first used. (Martin Pool)
5986
5987
* 'pull' has been factored out of the command as ``WorkingTree.pull()``.
5988
A new option to WorkingTree.pull has been added, clobber, which will
5989
ignore diverged history and pull anyway.
5990
(Robert Collins)
5991
5992
* config.Config has a ``get_user_option`` call that accepts an option name.
5993
This will be looked up in branches.conf and bazaar.conf as normal.
5994
It is intended that this be used by plugins to support options -
5995
options of built in programs should have specific methods on the config.
5996
(Robert Collins)
5997
5998
* ``merge.merge_inner`` now has tempdir as an optional parameter.
5999
(Robert Collins)
6000
6001
* Tree.kind is not recorded at the top level of the hierarchy, as it was
6002
missing on EmptyTree, leading to a bug with merge on EmptyTrees.
6003
(Robert Collins)
6004
6005
* ``WorkingTree.__del__`` has been removed, it was non deterministic and not
6006
doing what it was intended to. See ``WorkingTree.__init__`` for a comment
6007
about future directions. (Robert Collins/Martin Pool)
6008
6009
* bzrlib.transport.http has been modified so that only 404 urllib errors
6010
are returned as NoSuchFile. Other exceptions will propogate as normal.
6011
This allows debuging of actual errors. (Robert Collins)
6012
6013
* bzrlib.transport.Transport now accepts *ONLY* url escaped relative paths
6014
to apis like 'put', 'get' and 'has'. This is to provide consistent
6015
behaviour - it operates on url's only. (Robert Collins)
6016
6017
* Transports can register using ``register_lazy_transport``, and they
6018
will be loaded when first used. (Martin Pool)
6019
6020
* ``merge_flex`` no longer calls ``conflict_handler.finalize()``, instead that
6021
is called by ``merge_inner``. This is so that the conflict count can be
6022
retrieved (and potentially manipulated) before returning to the caller
6023
of ``merge_inner``. Likewise 'merge' now returns the conflict count to the
6024
caller. (Robert Collins)
6025
6026
* ``revision.revision_graph`` can handle having only partial history for
6027
a revision - that is no revisions in the graph with no parents.
6028
(Robert Collins).
6029
6030
* New ``builtins.branch_files`` uses the standard ``file_list`` rules to
6031
produce a branch and a list of paths, relative to that branch
6032
(Aaron Bentley)
6033
6034
* New TestCase.addCleanup facility.
6035
6036
* New ``bzrlib.version_info`` tuple (similar to ``sys.version_info``),
6037
which can be used by programs importing bzrlib.
6038
6039
BUG FIXES:
6040
6041
* Better handling of branches in directories with non-ascii names.
6042
(Joel Rosdahl, Panagiotis Papadakos)
6043
6044
* Upgrades of trees with no commits will not fail due to accessing
6045
[-1] in the revision-history. (Andres Salomon)
6046
6047
6048
bzr 0.1.1 2005-10-12
6049
--------------------
6050
6051
BUG FIXES:
6052
6053
* Fix problem in pulling over http from machines that do not
6054
allow directories to be listed.
6055
6056
* Avoid harmless warning about invalid hash cache after
6057
upgrading branch format.
6058
6059
PERFORMANCE:
6060
6061
* Avoid some unnecessary http operations in branch and pull.
6062
6063
6064
bzr 0.1 2005-10-11
6065
------------------
6066
6067
NOTES:
6068
6069
* 'bzr branch' over http initially gives a very high estimate
6070
of completion time but it should fall as the first few
6071
revisions are pulled in. branch is still slow on
6072
high-latency connections.
6073
6074
BUG FIXES:
6075
6076
* bzr-man.py has been updated to work again. Contributed by
6077
Rob Weir.
6078
6079
* Locking is now done with fcntl.lockf which works with NFS
6080
file systems. Contributed by Harald Meland.
6081
6082
* When a merge encounters a file that has been deleted on
6083
one side and modified on the other, the old contents are
6084
written out to foo.BASE and foo.SIDE, where SIDE is this
6085
or OTHER. Contributed by Aaron Bentley.
6086
6087
* Export was choosing incorrect file paths for the content of
6088
the tarball, this has been fixed by Aaron Bentley.
6089
6090
* Commit will no longer commit without a log message, an
6091
error is returned instead. Contributed by Jelmer Vernooij.
6092
6093
* If you commit a specific file in a sub directory, any of its
6094
parent directories that are added but not listed will be
6095
automatically included. Suggested by Michael Ellerman.
6096
6097
* bzr commit and upgrade did not correctly record new revisions
6098
for files with only a change to their executable status.
6099
bzr will correct this when it encounters it. Fixed by
6100
Robert Collins
6101
6102
* HTTP tests now force off the use of ``http_proxy`` for the duration.
6103
Contributed by Gustavo Niemeyer.
6104
6105
* Fix problems in merging weave-based branches that have
6106
different partial views of history.
6107
6108
* Symlink support: working with symlinks when not in the root of a
6109
bzr tree was broken, patch from Scott James Remnant.
6110
6111
IMPROVEMENTS:
6112
6113
* 'branch' now accepts a --basis parameter which will take advantage
6114
of local history when making a new branch. This allows faster
6115
branching of remote branches. Contributed by Aaron Bentley.
6116
6117
* New tree format based on weave files, called version 5.
6118
Existing branches can be upgraded to this format using
6119
'bzr upgrade'.
6120
6121
* Symlinks are now versionable. Initial patch by
6122
Erik Toubro Nielsen, updated to head by Robert Collins.
6123
6124
* Executable bits are tracked on files. Patch from Gustavo
6125
Niemeyer.
6126
6127
* 'bzr status' now shows unknown files inside a selected directory.
6128
Patch from Heikki Paajanen.
6129
6130
* Merge conflicts are recorded in .bzr. Two new commands 'conflicts'
6131
and 'resolve' have needed added, which list and remove those
6132
merge conflicts respectively. A conflicted tree cannot be committed
6133
in. Contributed by Aaron Bentley.
6134
6135
* 'rm' is now an alias for 'remove'.
6136
6137
* Stores now split out their content in a single byte prefixed hash,
6138
dropping the density of files per directory by 256. Contributed by
6139
Gustavo Niemeyer.
6140
6141
* 'bzr diff -r branch:URL' will now perform a diff between two branches.
6142
Contributed by Robert Collins.
6143
6144
* 'bzr log' with the default formatter will show merged revisions,
6145
indented to the right. Initial implementation contributed by Gustavo
6146
Niemeyer, made incremental by Robert Collins.
6147
6148
6149
INTERNALS:
6150
6151
* Test case failures have the exception printed after the log
6152
for your viewing pleasure.
6153
6154
* InventoryEntry is now an abstract base class, use one of the
6155
concrete InventoryDirectory etc classes instead.
6156
6157
* Branch raises an UnsupportedFormatError when it detects a
6158
bzr branch it cannot understand. This allows for precise
6159
handling of such circumstances.
6160
6161
* Remove RevisionReference class; ``Revision.parent_ids`` is now simply a
6162
list of their ids and ``parent_sha1s`` is a list of their corresponding
6163
sha1s (for old branches only at the moment.)
6164
6165
* New method-object style interface for Commit() and Fetch().
6166
6167
* Renamed ``Branch.last_patch()`` to ``Branch.last_revision()``, since
6168
we call them revisions not patches.
6169
6170
* Move ``copy_branch`` to ``bzrlib.clone.copy_branch``. The destination
6171
directory is created if it doesn't exist.
6172
6173
* Inventories now identify the files which were present by
6174
giving the revision *of that file*.
6175
6176
* Inventory and Revision XML contains a version identifier.
6177
This must be consistent with the overall branch version
6178
but allows for more flexibility in future upgrades.
6179
6180
TESTING:
6181
6182
* Removed testsweet module so that tests can be run after
6183
bzr installed by 'bzr selftest'.
6184
6185
* 'bzr selftest' command-line arguments can now be partial ids
6186
of tests to run, e.g. ``bzr selftest test_weave``
6187
6188
6189
bzr 0.0.9 2005-09-23
6190
--------------------
6191
6192
BUG FIXES:
6193
6194
* Fixed "branch -r" option.
6195
6196
* Fix remote access to branches containing non-compressed history.
6197
(Robert Collins).
6198
6199
* Better reliability of http server tests. (John Arbash-Meinel)
6200
6201
* Merge graph maximum distance calculation fix. (Aaron Bentley)
6202
6203
* Various minor bug in windows support have been fixed, largely in the
6204
test suite. Contributed by Alexander Belchenko.
6205
6206
IMPROVEMENTS:
6207
6208
* Status now accepts a -r argument to give status between chosen
6209
revisions. Contributed by Heikki Paajanen.
6210
6211
* Revision arguments no longer use +/-/= to control ranges, instead
6212
there is a 'before' namespace, which limits the successive namespace.
6213
For example '$ bzr log -r date:yesterday..before:date:today' will
6214
select everything from yesterday and before today. Contributed by
6215
Robey Pointer
6216
6217
* There is now a bzr.bat file created by distutils when building on
6218
Windows. Contributed by Alexander Belchenko.
6219
6220
INTERNALS:
6221
6222
* Removed uuid() as it was unused.
6223
6224
* Improved 'fetch' code for pulling revisions from one branch into
6225
another (used by pull, merged, etc.)
6226
6227
6228
bzr 0.0.8 2005-09-20
6229
--------------------
6230
6231
IMPROVEMENTS:
6232
6233
* Adding a file whose parent directory is not versioned will
6234
implicitly add the parent, and so on up to the root. This means
6235
you should never need to explictly add a directory, they'll just
6236
get added when you add a file in the directory. Contributed by
6237
Michael Ellerman.
6238
6239
* Ignore ``.DS_Store`` (contains Mac metadata) by default.
6240
(Nir Soffer)
6241
6242
* If you set ``BZR_EDITOR`` in the environment, it is checked in
6243
preference to EDITOR and the config file for the interactive commit
6244
editing program. Related to this is a bugfix where a missing program
6245
set in EDITOR would cause editing to fail, now the fallback program
6246
for the operating system is still tried.
6247
6248
* Files that are not directories/symlinks/regular files will no longer
6249
cause bzr to fail, it will just ignore them by default. You cannot add
6250
them to the tree though - they are not versionable.
6251
6252
6253
INTERNALS:
6254
6255
* Refactor xml packing/unpacking.
6256
6257
BUG FIXES:
6258
6259
* Fixed 'bzr mv' by Ollie Rutherfurd.
6260
6261
* Fixed strange error when trying to access a nonexistent http
6262
branch.
6263
6264
* Make sure that the hashcache gets written out if it can't be
6265
read.
6266
6267
6268
PORTABILITY:
6269
6270
* Various Windows fixes from Ollie Rutherfurd.
6271
6272
* Quieten warnings about locking; patch from Matt Lavin.
6273
6274
6275
bzr-0.0.7 2005-09-02
6276
--------------------
6277
6278
NEW FEATURES:
6279
6280
* ``bzr shell-complete`` command contributed by Clint Adams to
6281
help with intelligent shell completion.
6282
6283
* New expert command ``bzr find-merge-base`` for debugging merges.
6284
6285
6286
ENHANCEMENTS:
6287
6288
* Much better merge support.
6289
6290
* merge3 conflicts are now reported with markers like '<<<<<<<'
6291
(seven characters) which is the same as CVS and pleases things
6292
like emacs smerge.
6293
6294
6295
BUG FIXES:
6296
6297
* ``bzr upgrade`` no longer fails when trying to fix trees that
6298
mention revisions that are not present.
6299
6300
* Fixed bugs in listing plugins from ``bzr plugins``.
6301
6302
* Fix case of $EDITOR containing options for the editor.
6303
6304
* Fix log -r refusing to show the last revision.
6305
(Patch from Goffredo Baroncelli.)
6306
6307
6308
CHANGES:
6309
6310
* ``bzr log --show-ids`` shows the revision ids of all parents.
6311
6312
* Externally provided commands on your $BZRPATH no longer need
6313
to recognize --bzr-usage to work properly, and can just handle
6314
--help themselves.
6315
6316
6317
LIBRARY:
6318
6319
* Changed trace messages to go through the standard logging
6320
framework, so that they can more easily be redirected by
6321
libraries.
6322
6323
6324
6325
bzr-0.0.6 2005-08-18
6326
--------------------
6327
6328
NEW FEATURES:
6329
6330
* Python plugins, automatically loaded from the directories on
6331
``BZR_PLUGIN_PATH`` or ``~/.bzr.conf/plugins`` by default.
6332
6333
* New 'bzr mkdir' command.
6334
6335
* Commit mesage is fetched from an editor if not given on the
6336
command line; patch from Torsten Marek.
6337
6338
* ``bzr log -m FOO`` displays commits whose message matches regexp
6339
FOO.
6340
6341
* ``bzr add`` with no arguments adds everything under the current directory.
6342
6343
* ``bzr mv`` does move or rename depending on its arguments, like
6344
the Unix command.
6345
6346
* ``bzr missing`` command shows a summary of the differences
6347
between two trees. (Merged from John Arbash-Meinel.)
6348
6349
* An email address for commits to a particular tree can be
6350
specified by putting it into .bzr/email within a branch. (Based
6351
on a patch from Heikki Paajanen.)
6352
6353
6354
ENHANCEMENTS:
6355
6356
* Faster working tree operations.
6357
6358
6359
CHANGES:
6360
6361
* 3rd-party modules shipped with bzr are copied within the bzrlib
6362
python package, so that they can be installed by the setup
6363
script without clashing with anything already existing on the
6364
system. (Contributed by Gustavo Niemeyer.)
6365
6366
* Moved plugins directory to bzrlib/, so that there's a standard
6367
plugin directory which is not only installed with bzr itself but
6368
is also available when using bzr from the development tree.
6369
``BZR_PLUGIN_PATH`` and ``DEFAULT_PLUGIN_PATH`` are then added to the
6370
standard plugins directory.
6371
6372
* When exporting to a tarball with ``bzr export --format tgz``, put
6373
everything under a top directory rather than dumping it into the
6374
current directory. This can be overridden with the ``--root``
6375
option. Patch from William Dodé and John Meinel.
6376
6377
* New ``bzr upgrade`` command to upgrade the format of a branch,
6378
replacing ``bzr check --update``.
6379
6380
* Files within store directories are no longer marked readonly on
6381
disk.
6382
6383
* Changed ``bzr log`` output to a more compact form suggested by
6384
John A Meinel. Old format is available with the ``--long`` or
6385
``-l`` option, patched by William Dodé.
6386
6387
* By default the commit command refuses to record a revision with
6388
no changes unless the ``--unchanged`` option is given.
6389
6390
* The ``--no-plugins``, ``--profile`` and ``--builtin`` command
6391
line options must come before the command name because they
6392
affect what commands are available; all other options must come
6393
after the command name because their interpretation depends on
6394
it.
6395
6396
* ``branch`` and ``clone`` added as aliases for ``branch``.
6397
6398
* Default log format is back to the long format; the compact one
6399
is available with ``--short``.
6400
6401
6402
BUG FIXES:
6403
6404
* Fix bugs in committing only selected files or within a subdirectory.
6405
6406
6407
bzr-0.0.5 2005-06-15
6408
---------------------
6409
6410
CHANGES:
6411
6412
* ``bzr`` with no command now shows help rather than giving an
6413
error. Suggested by Michael Ellerman.
6414
6415
* ``bzr status`` output format changed, because svn-style output
6416
doesn't really match the model of bzr. Now files are grouped by
6417
status and can be shown with their IDs. ``bzr status --all``
6418
shows all versioned files and unknown files but not ignored files.
6419
6420
* ``bzr log`` runs from most-recent to least-recent, the reverse
6421
of the previous order. The previous behaviour can be obtained
6422
with the ``--forward`` option.
6423
6424
* ``bzr inventory`` by default shows only filenames, and also ids
6425
if ``--show-ids`` is given, in which case the id is the second
6426
field.
6427
6428
6429
ENHANCEMENTS:
6430
6431
* New 'bzr whoami --email' option shows only the email component
6432
of the user identification, from Jo Vermeulen.
6433
6434
* New ``bzr ignore PATTERN`` command.
6435
6436
* Nicer error message for broken pipe, interrupt and similar
6437
conditions that don't indicate an internal error.
6438
6439
* Add ``.*.sw[nop] .git .*.tmp *,v`` to default ignore patterns.
6440
6441
* Per-branch locks keyed on ``.bzr/branch-lock``, available in
6442
either read or write mode.
6443
6444
* New option ``bzr log --show-ids`` shows revision and file ids.
6445
6446
* New usage ``bzr log FILENAME`` shows only revisions that
6447
affected that file.
6448
6449
* Changed format for describing changes in ``bzr log -v``.
6450
6451
* New option ``bzr commit --file`` to take a message from a file,
6452
suggested by LarstiQ.
6453
6454
* New syntax ``bzr status [FILE...]`` contributed by Bartosz
6455
Oler. File may be in a branch other than the working directory.
6456
6457
* ``bzr log`` and ``bzr root`` can be given an http URL instead of
6458
a filename.
6459
6460
* Commands can now be defined by external programs or scripts
6461
in a directory on $BZRPATH.
6462
6463
* New "stat cache" avoids reading the contents of files if they
6464
haven't changed since the previous time.
6465
6466
* If the Python interpreter is too old, try to find a better one
6467
or give an error. Based on a patch from Fredrik Lundh.
6468
6469
* New optional parameter ``bzr info [BRANCH]``.
6470
6471
* New form ``bzr commit SELECTED`` to commit only selected files.
6472
6473
* New form ``bzr log -r FROM:TO`` shows changes in selected
6474
range; contributed by John A Meinel.
6475
6476
* New option ``bzr diff --diff-options 'OPTS'`` allows passing
6477
options through to an external GNU diff.
6478
6479
* New option ``bzr add --no-recurse`` to add a directory but not
6480
their contents.
6481
6482
* ``bzr --version`` now shows more information if bzr is being run
6483
from a branch.
6484
6485
6486
BUG FIXES:
6487
6488
* Fixed diff format so that added and removed files will be
6489
handled properly by patch. Fix from Lalo Martins.
6490
6491
* Various fixes for files whose names contain spaces or other
6492
metacharacters.

* Converted black-box test suites from Bourne shell into Python;
6498
now run using ``./testbzr``. Various structural improvements to
6499
the tests.
6500
6501
* testbzr by default runs the version of bzr found in the same
6502
directory as the tests, or the one given as the first parameter.
6503
6504
* testbzr also runs the internal tests, so the only command
6505
required to check is just ``./testbzr``.
6506
6507
* testbzr requires python2.4, but can be used to test bzr running
6508
under a different version.
6509
6510
* Tests added for many other changes in this release.
6511
6512
6513
INTERNAL:
6514
6515
* Included ElementTree library upgraded to 1.2.6 by Fredrik Lundh.
6516
6517
* Refactor command functions into Command objects based on HCT by
6518
Scott James Remnant.
6519
6520
* Better help messages for many commands.
6521
6522
* Expose ``bzrlib.open_tracefile()`` to start the tracefile; until
6523
this is called trace messages are just discarded.
6524
6525
* New internal function ``find_touching_revisions()`` and hidden
6526
command touching-revisions trace the changes to a given file.
6527
6528
* Simpler and faster ``compare_inventories()`` function.
6529
6530
* ``bzrlib.open_tracefile()`` takes a tracefilename parameter.
6531
6532
* New AtomicFile class.
6533
6534
* New developer commands ``added``, ``modified``.
6535
6536
6537
PORTABILITY:
6538
6539
* Cope on Windows on python2.3 by using the weaker random seed.
6540
2.4 is now only recommended.

6544
---------------------
6545
6546
ENHANCEMENTS:
6547
6548
* 'bzr diff' optionally takes a list of files to diff. Still a bit
6549
basic. Patch from QuantumG.
6550
6551
* More default ignore patterns.
6552
6553
* New 'bzr log --verbose' shows a list of files changed in the
6554
changeset. Patch from Sebastian Cote.
6555
6556
* Roll over ~/.bzr.log if it gets too large.
6557
6558
* Command abbreviations 'ci', 'st', 'stat', '?' based on a patch
6559
by Jason Diamon.
6560
6561
* New 'bzr help commands' based on a patch from Denys Duchier.
6562
6563
6564
CHANGES:
6565
6566
* User email is determined by looking at $BZREMAIL or ~/.bzr.email
6567
or $EMAIL. All are decoded by the locale preferred encoding.
6568
If none of these are present user@hostname is used. The host's
6569
fully-qualified name is not used because that tends to fail when
6570
there are DNS problems.
6571
6572
* New 'bzr whoami' command instead of username user-email.
6573
6574
6575
BUG FIXES:
6576
6577
* Make commit safe for hardlinked bzr trees.
6578
6579
* Some Unicode/locale fixes.
6580
6581
* Partial workaround for ``difflib.unified_diff`` not handling
6582
trailing newlines properly.
6583
6584
6585
INTERNAL:
6586
6587
* Allow docstrings for help to be in PEP0257 format. Patch from
6588
Matt Brubeck.
6589
6590
* More tests in test.sh.
6591
6592
* Write profile data to a temporary file not into working
6593
directory and delete it when done.
6594
6595
* Smaller .bzr.log with process ids.
6596
6597
6598
PORTABILITY:
6599
6600
* Fix opening of ~/.bzr.log on Windows. Patch from Andrew
6601
Bennetts.
6602
6603
* Some improvements in handling paths on Windows, based on a patch
6604
from QuantumG.

6627
CHANGES:
6628
6629
* .bzr.log is placed in $HOME (not pwd) and is always written in
6630
UTF-8. (Probably not a completely good long-term solution, but
6631
will do for now.)
6632
6633
PORTABILITY:
6634
6635
* Workaround for difflib bug in Python 2.3 that causes an
6636
exception when comparing empty files. Reported by Erik Toubro
6637
Nielsen.

6668

6669
6670
* Reinstate the 'bzr check' command to check invariants of the
6671
branch.
6672
6673
* New 'ignored' command lists which files are ignored and why;
6674
'deleted' lists files deleted in the current working tree.
6675
6676
* Performance improvements.
6677
6678
* New global --profile option.
6679
6680
