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
FEATURES
20
21
* Support for GSSAPI authentication when using FTP as documented in
22
RFC2228. (Jelmer Vernooij, #49623)
23
24
IMPROVEMENTS:
25
26
* ``bzr branch`` and ``bzr push`` use the default stacking policy if the
27
branch format supports it. (Aaron Bentley)
28
29
* ``bzr init`` and ``bzr init-repo`` will now print out the same as
30
``bzr info`` if it completed successfully.
31
(Marius Kruger)
32
33
* ``bzr uncommit`` logs the old tip revision id, and displays how to
34
restore the branch to that tip using ``bzr pull``. This allows you
35
to recover if you realize you uncommitted the wrong thing.
36
(John Arbash Meinel)
37
38
BUG FIXES:
39
40
* ``bzr rm`` is now aliased to ``bzr del`` for the convenience of svn
41
users. (Robert Collins, #205416)
42
43
* Catch the infamous "select/poll returned error" which occurs when
44
pycurl try to send a body request to an HTTP/1.0 server which has
45
already refused to handle the request. (Vincent Ladeuil, #225020)
46
47
* ``FTPTransport.stat()`` would return ``0000`` as the permission bits
48
for the containing ``.bzr/`` directory (it does not implement
49
permissions). This would cause us to set all subdirectories to
50
``0700`` and files to ``0600`` rather than leaving them unmodified.
51
Now we ignore ``0000`` as the permissions and assume they are
52
invalid. (John Arbash Meinel, #259855)
53
54
* Merging from a previously joined branch will no longer cause
55
a traceback. (Jelmer Vernooij, #203376)
56
57
* Pack operations on windows network shares will work even with large
58
files. (Robert Collins, #255656)
59
60
* Running ``bzr st PATH_TO_TREE`` will no longer suppress merge
61
status. Status is also about 7% faster on mozilla sized trees
62
when the path to the root of the tree has been given. Users of
63
the internal ``show_tree_status`` function should be aware that
64
the show_pending flag is now authoritative for showing pending
65
merges, as it was originally. (Robert Collins, #225204)
66
67
* Set valid default _param_name for Option so that ListOption can embed
68
'-' in names. (Vincent Ladeuil, #263249)
69
70
* Show proper error rather than traceback when an unknown revision
71
id is specified to ``bzr cat-revision``. (Jelmer Vernooij, #175569)
72
73
* Trailing text in the dirstate file could cause the C dirstate parser
74
to try to allocate an invalid amount of memory. We now properly
75
check and test for parsing a dirstate with invalid trailing data.
76
(John Arbash Meinel, #186014)
77
78
* ``WorkingTree4`` trees will now correctly report missing-and-new
79
paths in the output of ``iter_changes``. (Robert Collins)
80
81
API CHANGES:
82
83
* Exporters now take 4 parameters. (Robert Collins)
84
85
* ``Tree.iter_changes`` will now return False for the content change
86
field when a file is missing in the basis tree and not present in
87
the target tree. Previously it returned True unconditionally.
88
(Robert Collins)
89
90
* The deprecated ``Branch.abspath`` and unimplemented
91
``Branch.rename_one`` and ``Branch.move`` were removed. (Jelmer Vernooij)
92
93
* BzrDir.clone_on_transport implementations must now accept a stacked_on
94
parameter. (Aaron Bentley)
95
96
* BzrDir.cloning_metadir implementations must now take a require_stacking
97
parameter. (Aaron Bentley)
98
99
TESTING:
100
101
* ``addCleanup`` now takes ``*arguments`` and ``**keyword_arguments``
102
which are then passed to the cleanup callable as it is run. In
103
addition, addCleanup no longer requires that the callables passed to
104
it be unique. (Jonathan Lange)
105
106
* ``selftest``'s ``--starting-with`` option can now use predefined
107
prefixes so that one can say ``bzr selftest -s bp.loom`` instead of
108
``bzr selftest -s bzrlib.plugins.loom``. (Vincent Ladeuil)
109
110
* ``selftest``'s ``--starting-with`` option now accepts multiple values.
111
(Vincent Ladeuil)
112
113
INTERNALS:
114
115
* A new plugin interface, ``bzrlib.log.log_adapters``, has been added.
116
This allows dynamic log output filtering by plugins.
117
(Robert Collins)
118
119
* ``bzrlib.btree_index`` is now available, providing a b-tree index
120
layer. The design is memory conservative (limited memory cache),
121
faster to seek (approx 100 nodes per page, gives 100-way fan out),
122
and stores compressed pages allowing more keys per page.
123
(Robert Collins, John Arbash Meinel)
124
125
* ``bzrlib.diff.DiffTree.show_diff`` now skips changes where the kind
126
is unknown in both source and target.
127
(Robert Collins, Aaron Bentley)
128
129
* Mail clients for `bzr send` are now listed in a registry. This
130
allows plugins to add new clients by registering them with
131
``bzrlib.mail_client.mail_client_registry``. All of the built-in
132
clients now use this mechanism. (Neil Martinsen-Burrell)
133
134
135
bzr 1.6.1rc1 2008-08-29
136
-----------------------
137
138
This release fixes a few regressions found in the 1.6 client. Fetching
139
changes was using an O(N^2) buffering algorithm, so for large projects it
140
would cause memory thrashing. There is also a specific problem with the
141
``--1.6-rich-root`` format, which prevented stacking on top of
142
``--rich-root-pack`` repositories, and could allow users to accidentally
143
fetch experimental data (``-subtree``) without representing it properly.
144
The ``--1.6-rich-root`` format has been deprecated and users are
145
recommended to upgrade to ``--1.6.1-rich-root`` immediately. Also we
146
re-introduced a workaround for users who have repositories with incorrect
147
nodes (not possible if you only used official releases).
148
I should also clarify that none of this is data loss level issues, but
149
still sufficient enough to warrant an updated release.
150
151
BUG FIXES:
152
153
* ``RemoteTransport.readv()`` was being inefficient about how it
154
buffered the readv data and processed it. It would keep appending to
155
the same string (causing many copies) and then pop bytes out of the
156
start of the string (causing more copies).
157
With this patch "bzr+ssh://local" can improve dramatically,
158
especially for projects with large files.
159
(John Arbash Meinel)
160
161
* Revision texts were always meant to be stored as fulltexts. There
162
was a bug in a bzr.dev version that would accidentally create deltas
163
when copying from a Pack repo to a Knit repo. This has been fixed,
164
but to support those repositories, we know always request full texts
165
for Revision texts. (John Arbash Meinel, #261339)
166
167
* The previous ``--1.6-rich-root`` format used an incorrect xml
168
serializer, which would accidentally support fetching from a
169
repository that supported subtrees, even though the local one would
170
not. We deprecated that format, and introduced a new one that uses
171
the correct serializer ``--1.6.1-rich-root``.
172
(John Arbash Meinel, #262333)
173
174
175
bzr 1.6 2008-08-25
176
------------------
177
178
Finally, the long awaited bzr 1.6 has been released. This release includes
179
new features like Stacked Branches, improved weave merge, and an updated
180
server protocol (now on v3) which will allow for better cross version
181
compatibility. With this release we have deprecated Knit format
182
repositories, and recommend that users upgrade them, we will continue to
183
support reading and writing them for the forseeable future, but we will
184
not be tuning them for performance as pack repositories have proven to be
185
better at scaling. This will also be the first release to bundle
186
TortoiseBzr in the standalone Windows installer.
187
188
189
bzr 1.6rc5 2008-08-19
190
---------------------
191
192
BUG FIXES:
193
194
* Disable automatic detection of stacking based on a containing
195
directory of the target. It interacted badly with push, and needs a
196
bit more work to get the edges polished before it should happen
197
automatically. (John Arbash Meinel, #259275)
198
(This change was reverted when merged to bzr.dev)
199
200
201
bzr 1.6rc4 2008-08-18
202
---------------------
203
204
BUG FIXES:
205
206
* Fix a regression in knit => pack fetching. We had a logic
207
inversion, causing the fetch to insert fulltexts in random order,
208
rather than preserving deltas. (John Arbash Meinel, #256757)
209
210
211
bzr 1.6rc3 2008-08-14
212
---------------------
213
214
CHANGES:
215
216
* Disable reading ``.bzrrules`` as a per-branch rule preferences
217
file. The feature was not quite ready for a full release.
218
(Robert Collins)
219
220
IMPROVEMENTS:
221
222
* Update the windows installer to bundle TortoiseBzr and ``qbzr``
223
into the standalone installer. This will be the first official
224
windows release that installs Tortoise by default.
225
(Mark Hammond)
226
227
BUG FIXES:
228
229
* Fix a regression in ``bzr+http`` support. There was a missing
230
function (``_read_line``) that needed to be carried over from
231
``bzr+ssh`` support. (Andrew Bennetts)
232
233
* ``GraphIndex`` objects will internally read an entire index if more
234
than 1/20th of their keyspace is requested in a single operation.
235
This largely mitigates a performance regression in ``bzr log FILE``
236
and completely corrects the performance regression in ``bzr log``.
237
The regression was caused by removing an accomodation which had been
238
supporting the index format in use. A newer index format is in
239
development which is substantially faster. (Robert Collins)
240
241
242
bzr 1.6rc2 2008-08-13
243
---------------------
244
245
This release candidate has a few minor bug fixes, and some regression
246
fixes for Windows.
247
248
BUG FIXES:
249
250
* ``bzr upgrade`` on remote branches accessed via bzr:// and
251
bzr+ssh:// now works. (Andrew Bennetts)
252
253
* Change the ``get_format_description()`` strings for
254
``RepositoryFormatKnitPack5`` et al to be single line messages.
255
(Aaron Bentley)
256
257
* Fix for a regression on Win32 where we would try to call
258
``os.listdir()`` on a file and not catch the exception properly.
259
(Windows raises a different exception.) This would manifest in
260
places like ``bzr rm file`` or ``bzr switch``.
261
(Mark Hammond, John Arbash Meinel)
262
263
* ``Inventory.copy()`` was failing to set the revision property for
264
the root entry. (Jelmer Vernooij)
265
266
* sftp transport: added missing ``FileExists`` case to
267
``_translate_io_exception`` (Christophe Troestler, #123475)
268
269
* The help for ``bzr ignored`` now suggests ``bzr ls --ignored`` for
270
scripting use. (Robert Collins, #3834)
271
272
* The default ``annotate`` logic will now always assign the
273
last-modified value of a line to one of the revisions that modified
274
it, rather than a merge revision. This would happen when both sides
275
claimed to have modified the line resulting in the same text. The
276
choice is arbitrary but stable, so merges in different directions
277
will get the same results. (John Arbash Meinel, #232188)
278
279
280
bzr 1.6rc1 2008-08-06
281
---------------------
282
283
This release candidate for bzr 1.6 solidifies the new branch stacking
284
feature. Bazaar now recommends that users upgrade all knit repositories,
285
because later formats are much faster. However, we plan to continue read/write and
286
upgrade support for knit repostories for the forseeable future. Several
287
other bugs and performance issues were fixed.
288
289
CHANGES:
290
291
* Knit format repositories are deprecated and bzr will now emit
292
warnings whenever it encounters one. Use ``bzr upgrade`` to upgrade
293
knit repositories to pack format. (Andrew Bennetts)
294
295
IMPROVEMENTS:
296
297
* ``bzr check`` can now be told which elements at a location it should
298
check. (Daniel Watkins)
299
300
* Commit now supports ``--exclude`` (or ``-x``) to exclude some files
301
from the commit. (Robert Collins, #3117)
302
303
* Fetching data between repositories that have the same model but no
304
optimised fetcher will not reserialise all the revisions, increasing
305
performance. (Robert Collins, John Arbash Meinel)
306
307
* Give a more specific error when target branch is not reachable.
308
(James Westby)
309
310
* Implemented a custom ``walkdirs_utf8`` implementation for win32.
311
This uses a pyrex extension to get direct access to the
312
``FindFirstFileW`` style apis, rather than using ``listdir`` +
313
``lstat``. Shows a very strong improvement in commands like
314
``status`` and ``diff`` which have to iterate the working tree.
315
Anywhere from 2x-6x faster depending on the size of the tree (bigger
316
trees, bigger benefit.) (John Arbash Meinel)
317
318
* New registry for log properties handles and the method in
319
LongLogFormatter to display the custom properties returned by the
320
registered handlers. (Guillermo Gonzalez, #162469)
321
322
BUG FIXES:
323
324
* Add more tests that stacking does not create deltas spanning
325
physical repository boundaries.
326
(Martin Pool, #252428)
327
328
* Better message about incompatible repositories.
329
(Martin Pool, #206258)
330
331
* ``bzr branch --stacked`` ensures the destination branch format can
332
support stacking, even if the origin does not.
333
(Martin Pool)
334
335
* ``bzr export`` no longer exports ``.bzrrules``.
336
(Ian Clatworthy)
337
338
* ``bzr serve --directory=/`` now correctly allows the whole
339
filesystem to be accessed on Windows, not just the root of the drive
340
that Python is running from.
341
(Adrian Wilkins, #240910)
342
343
* Deleting directories by hand before running ``bzr rm`` will not
344
cause subsequent errors in ``bzr st`` and ``bzr commit``.
345
(Robert Collins, #150438)
346
347
* Fix a test case that was failing if encoding wasn't UTF-8.
348
(John Arbash Meinel, #247585)
349
350
* Fix "no buffer space available" error when branching with the new
351
smart server protocol to or from Windows.
352
(Andrew Bennetts, #246180)
353
354
* Fixed problem in branching from smart server.
355
(#249256, Michael Hudson, Martin Pool)
356
357
* Handle a file turning in to a directory in TreeTransform.
358
(James Westby, #248448)
359
360
API CHANGES:
361
362
* ``MutableTree.commit`` has an extra optional keywork parameter
363
``exclude`` that will be unconditionally supplied by the command
364
line UI - plugins that add tree formats may need an update.
365
(Robert Collins)
366
367
* The API minimum version for plugin compatibility has been raised to
368
1.6 - there are significant changes throughout the code base.
369
(Robert Collins)
370
371
* The generic fetch code now uses three attributes on Repository objects
372
to control fetch. The streams requested are controlled via :
373
``_fetch_order`` and ``_fetch_uses_deltas``. Setting these
374
appropriately allows different repository implementations to recieve
375
data in their optimial form. If the ``_fetch_reconcile`` is set then
376
a reconcile operation is triggered at the end of the fetch.
377
(Robert Collins)
378
379
* The ``put_on_disk`` and ``get_tar_item`` methods in
380
``InventoryEntry`` were deprecated. (Ian Clatworthy)
381
382
* ``Repository.is_shared`` doesn't take a read lock. It didn't
383
need one in the first place (nobody cached the value, and
384
``RemoteRepository`` wasn't taking one either). This saves a round
385
trip when probing Pack repositories, as they read the ``pack-names``
386
file when locked. And during probe, locking the repo isn't very
387
useful. (John Arbash Meinel)
388
389
INTERNALS:
390
391
* ``bzrlib.branchbuilder.BranchBuilder`` is now much more capable of
392
putting together a real history without having to create a full
393
WorkingTree. It is recommended that tests that are not directly
394
testing the WorkingTree use BranchBuilder instead. See
395
``BranchBuilder.build_snapshot`` or
396
``TestCaseWithMemoryTree.make_branch_builder``. (John Arbash Meinel)
397
398
* ``bzrlib.builtins.internal_tree_files`` broken into two giving a new
399
helper ``safe_relpath_files`` - used by the new ``exclude``
400
parameter to commit. (Robert Collins)
401
402
* Make it easier to introduce new WorkingTree formats.
403
(Ian Clatworthy)
404
405
* The code for exporting trees was refactored not to use the
406
deprecated ``InventoryEntry`` methods. (Ian Clatworthy)
407
408
* RuleSearchers return () instead of [] now when there are no matches.
409
(Ian Clatworthy)
410
411
412
bzr 1.6beta3 2008-07-17
413
-----------------------
414
415
This release adds a new 'stacked branches' feature allowing branches to
416
share storage without being in the same repository or on the same machine.
417
(See the user guide for more details.) It also adds a new hook, improved
418
weaves, aliases for related locations, faster bzr+ssh push, and several
419
bug fixes.
420
421
FEATURES:
422
423
* New ``pre_change_branch_tip`` hook that is called before the
424
branch tip is moved, while the branch is write-locked. See the User
425
Reference for signature details. (Andrew Bennetts)
426
427
* Rule-based preferences can now be defined for selected files in
428
selected branches, allowing commands and plugins to provide
429
custom behaviour for files matching defined patterns.
430
See ``Rule-based preferences`` (part of ``Configuring Bazaar``)
431
in the User Guide and ``bzr help rules`` for more information.
432
(Ian Clatworthy)
433
434
* Sites may suggest a branch to stack new branches on. (Aaron Bentley)
435
436
* Stacked branches are now supported. See ``bzr help branch`` and
437
``bzr help push``. Branches must be in the ``development1`` format
438
to stack, though the stacked-on branch can be of any format.
439
(Robert Collins)
440
441
IMPROVEMENTS:
442
443
* ``bzr export --format=tgz --root=NAME -`` to export a gzipped tarball
444
to stdout; also ``tar`` and ``tbz2``.
445
(Martin Pool)
446
447
* ``bzr (re)merge --weave`` will now use a standard Weave algorithm,
448
rather than the annotation-based merge it was using. It does so by
449
building up a Weave of the important texts, without needing to build
450
the full ancestry. (John Arbash Meinel, #238895)
451
452
* ``bzr send`` documents and better supports ``emacsclient`` (proper
453
escaping of mail headers and handling of the MUA Mew).
454
(Christophe Troestler)
455
456
* Remembered locations can be specified by aliases, e.g. :parent, :public,
457
:submit. (Aaron Bentley)
458
459
* The smart protocol now has improved support for setting branches'
460
revision info directly. This makes operations like push
461
faster. The new request method name is
462
``Branch.set_last_revision_ex``. (Andrew Bennetts)
463
464
BUG FIXES:
465
466
* Bazaar is now able to be a client to the web server of IIS 6 and 7.
467
The broken implementations of RFC822 in Python and RFC2046 in IIS
468
combined with boundary-line checking in Bazaar previously made this
469
impossible. (NB, IIS 5 does not suffer from this problem).
470
(Adrian Wilkins, #247585)
471
472
* ``bzr log --long`` with a ghost in your mainline now handles that
473
ghost properly. (John Arbash Meinel, #243536)
474
475
* ``check`` handles the split-up .bzr layout correctly, so no longer
476
requires a branch to be present.
477
(Daniel Watkins, #64783)
478
479
* Clearer message about how to set the PYTHONPATH if bzrlib can't be
480
loaded.
481
(Martin Pool, #205230)
482
483
* Errors about missing libraries are now shown without a traceback,
484
and with a suggestion to install the library. The full traceback is
485
still in ``.bzr.log`` and can be shown with ``-Derror``.
486
(Martin Pool, #240161)
487
488
* Fetch from a stacked branch copies all required data.
489
(Aaron Bentley, #248506)
490
491
* Handle urls such as ftp://user@host.com@www.host.com where the user
492
name contains an @.
493
(Neil Martinsen-Burrell, #228058)
494
495
* ``needs_read_lock`` and ``needs_write_lock`` now suppress an error during
496
``unlock`` if there was an error in the original function. This helps
497
most when there is a failure with a smart server action, since often the
498
connection closes and we cannot unlock.
499
(Andrew Bennetts, John Arbash Meinel, #125784)
500
501
* Obsolete hidden command ``bzr fetch`` removed.
502
(Martin Pool, #172870)
503
504
* Raise the correct exception when doing ``-rbefore:0`` or ``-c0``.
505
(John Arbash Meinel, #239933)
506
507
* You can now compare file revisions in Windows diff programs from
508
Cygwin Bazaar.
509
(Matt McClure, #209281)
510
511
* revision_history now tolerates mainline ghosts for Branch format 6.
512
(Aaron Bentley, #235055)
513
514
* Set locale from environment for third party libs.
515
(Martin von Gagern, #128496)
516
517
DOCUMENTATION:
518
519
* Added *Using stacked branches* to the User Guide.
520
(Ian Clatworthy)
521
522
* Updated developer documentation.
523
(Martin Pool)
524
525
TESTING:
526
527
* ``-Dmemory`` will cause /proc/PID/status to be catted before bzr
528
exits, allowing low-key analysis of peak memory use. (Robert Collins)
529
530
* ``TestCaseWithTransport.make_branch_and_tree`` tries harder to return
531
a tree with a ``branch`` attribute of the right format. This was
532
preventing some ``RemoteBranch`` tests from actually running with
533
``RemoteBranch`` instances. (Andrew Bennetts)
534
535
API CHANGES:
536
537
* Removed ``Repository.text_store``, ``control_store``, etc. Instead,
538
there are new attributes ``texts, inventories, revisions,
539
signatures``, each of which is a ``VersionedFiles``. See the
540
Repository docstring for more details.
541
(Robert Collins)
542
543
* ``Branch.pull`` now accepts an ``_override_hook_target`` optional
544
parameter. If you have a subclass of ``Branch`` that overrides
545
``pull`` then you should add this parameter. (Andrew Bennetts)
546
547
* ``bzrlib.check.check()`` has been deprecated in favour of the more
548
aptly-named ``bzrlib.check.check_branch()``.
549
(Daniel Watkins)
550
551
* ``Tree.print_file`` and ``Repository.print_file`` are deprecated.
552
These methods are bad APIs because they write directly to sys.stdout.
553
bzrlib does not use them internally, and there are no direct tests
554
for them. (Alexander Belchenko)
555
556
INTERNALS:
557
558
* ``cat`` command no longer uses ``Tree.print_file()`` internally.
559
(Alexander Belchenko)
560
561
* New class method ``BzrDir.open_containing_tree_branch_or_repository``
562
which eases the discovery of the tree, the branch and the repository
563
containing a given location.
564
(Daniel Watkins)
565
566
* New ``versionedfile.KeyMapper`` interface to abstract out the access to
567
underlying .knit/.kndx etc files in repositories with partitioned
568
storage. (Robert Collins)
569
570
* Obsolete developer-use command ``weave-join`` has been removed.
571
(Robert Collins)
572
573
* ``RemoteToOtherFetcher`` and ``get_data_stream_for_search`` removed,
574
to support new ``VersionedFiles`` layering.
575
(Robert Collins)

578
bzr 1.6beta2 2008-06-10
579
-----------------------
580
581
This release contains further progress towards our 1.6 goals of shallow
582
repositories, and contains a fix for some user-affecting bugs in the
583
repository layer. Building working trees during checkout and branch is
584
now faster.
585
586
BUG FIXES:
587
588
* Avoid KnitCorrupt error extracting inventories from some repositories.
589
(The data is not corrupt; an internal check is detecting a problem
590
reading from the repository.)
591
(Martin Pool, Andrew Bennetts, Robert Collins, #234748)
592
593
* ``bzr status`` was breaking if you merged the same revision twice.
594
(John Arbash Meinel, #235407)
595
596
* Fix infinite loop consuming 100% CPU when a connection is lost while
597
reading a response body via the smart protocol v1 or v2.
598
(Andrew Bennetts)
599
600
* Inserting a bundle which changes the contents of a file with no trailing
601
end of line, causing a knit snapshot in a 'knits' repository will no longer
602
cause KnitCorrupt. (Robert Collins)
603
604
* ``RemoteBranch.pull`` needs to return the ``self._real_branch``'s
605
pull result. It was instead just returning None, which breaks ``bzr
606
pull``. (John Arbash Meinel, #238149)
607
608
* Sanitize branch nick before using it as an attachment filename in
609
``bzr send``. (Lukáš Lalinský, #210218)
610
611
* Squash ``inv_entry.symlink_target`` to a plain string when
612
generating DirState details. This prevents from getting a
613
``UnicodeError`` when you have symlinks and non-ascii filenames.
614
(John Arbash Meinel, #135320)
615
616
IMPROVEMENTS:
617
618
* Added the 'alias' command to set/unset and display aliases. (Tim Penhey)
619
620
* ``added``, ``modified``, and ``unknowns`` behaviour made consistent (all three
621
now quote paths where required). Added ``--null`` option to ``added`` and
622
``modified`` (for null-separated unknowns, use ``ls --unknown --null``)
623
(Adrian Wilkins)
624
625
* Faster branching (1.09x) and lightweight checkouts (1.06x) on large trees.
626
(Ian Clatworthy, Aaron Bentley)
627
628
DOCUMENTATION:
629
630
* Added *Bazaar Zen* section to the User Guide. (Ian Clatworthy)
631
632
TESTING:
633
634
* Fix the test HTTPServer to be isolated from chdir calls made while it is
635
running, allowing it to be used in blackbox tests. (Robert Collins)
636
637
API CHANGES:
638
639
* ``WorkingTree.set_parent_(ids/trees)`` will now filter out revisions
640
which are in the ancestry of other revisions. So if you merge the same
641
tree twice, or merge an ancestor of an existing merge, it will only
642
record the newest. (If you merge a descendent, it will replace its
643
ancestor). (John Arbash Meinel, #235407)
644
645
* ``RepositoryPolicy.__init__`` now requires stack_on and stack_on_pwd,
646
through the derived classes do not. (Aaron Bentley)
647
648
INTERNALS:
649
650
* ``bzrlib.bzrdir.BzrDir.sprout`` now accepts ``stacked`` to control
651
creating stacked branches. (Robert Collins)
652
653
* Knit record serialisation is now stricter on what it will accept, to
654
guard against potential internal bugs, or broken input. (Robert Collins)
655
656
657
bzr 1.6beta1 2008-06-02
658
-----------------------
659
660
661
Commands that work on the revision history such as push, pull, missing,
662
uncommit and log are now substantially faster. This release adds a
663
translation of some of the user documentation into Spanish. (Contributions of
664
other translations would be very welcome.) Bazaar 1.6beta1 adds a new network
665
protocol which is used by default and which allows for more efficient transfers
666
and future extensions.
667
668
669
NOTES WHEN UPGRADING:
670
671
* There is a new version of the network protocol used for bzr://, bzr+ssh://
672
and bzr+http:// connections. This will allow more efficient requests and
673
responses, and more graceful fallback when a server is too old to
674
recognise a request from a more recent client. Bazaar 1.6 will
675
interoperate with 0.16 and later versions, but servers should be upgraded
676
when possible. Bazaar 1.6 no longer interoperates with 0.15 and earlier via
677
these protocols. Use alternatives like SFTP or upgrade those servers.
678
(Andrew Bennetts, #83935)
679
680
CHANGES:
681
682
* Deprecation warnings will not be suppressed when running ``bzr selftest``
683
so that developers can see if their code is using deprecated functions.
684
(John Arbash Meinel)
685
686
FEATURES:
687
688
* Adding ``-Derror`` will now display a traceback when a plugin fails to
689
load. (James Westby)
690
691
IMPROVEMENTS:
692
693
* ``bzr branch/push/pull -r XXX`` now have a helper function for finding
694
the revno of the new revision (``Graph.find_distance_to_null``). This
695
should make something like ``bzr branch -r -100`` in a shared, no-trees
696
repository much snappier. (John Arbash Meinel)
697
698
* ``bzr log --short -r X..Y`` no longer needs to access the full revision
699
history. This makes it noticeably faster when logging the last few
700
revisions. (John Arbash Meinel)
701
702
* ``bzr ls`` now accepts ``-V`` as an alias for ``--versioned``.
703
(Jerad Cramp, #165086)
704
705
* ``bzr missing`` uses the new ``Graph.find_unique_ancestors`` and
706
``Graph.find_differences`` to determine missing revisions without having
707
to search the whole ancestry. (John Arbash Meinel, #174625)
708
709
* ``bzr uncommit`` now uses partial history access, rather than always
710
extracting the full revision history for a branch. This makes it
711
resolve the appropriate revisions much faster (in testing it drops
712
uncommit from 1.5s => 0.4s). It also means ``bzr log --short`` is one
713
step closer to not using full revision history.
714
(John Arbash Meinel, #172649)
715
716
BUGFIXES:
717
718
* ``bzr merge --lca`` should handle when two revisions have no common
719
ancestor other than NULL_REVISION. (John Arbash Meinel, #235715)
720
721
* ``bzr status`` was breaking if you merged the same revision twice.
722
(John Arbash Meinel, #235407)
723
724
* ``bzr push`` with both ``--overwrite`` and ``-r NNN`` options no longer
725
fails. (Andrew Bennetts, #234229)
726
727
* Correctly track the base URL of a smart medium when using bzr+http://
728
URLs, which was causing spurious "No repository present" errors with
729
branches in shared repositories accessed over bzr+http.
730
(Andrew Bennetts, #230550)
731
732
* Define ``_remote_is_at_least_1_2`` on ``SmartClientMedium`` so that all
733
implementations have the attribute. Fixes 'PyCurlTransport' object has no
734
attribute '_remote_is_at_least_1_2' attribute errors.
735
(Andrew Bennetts, #220806)
736
737
* Failure to delete an obsolete pack file should just give a warning
738
message, not a fatal error. It may for example fail if the file is still
739
in use by another process.
740
(Martin Pool)
741
742
* Fix MemoryError during large fetches over HTTP by limiting the amount of
743
data we try to read per ``recv`` call. The problem was observed with
744
Windows and a proxy, but might affect other environments as well.
745
(Eric Holmberg, #215426)
746
747
* Handle old merge directives correctly in Merger.from_mergeable. Stricter
748
get_parent_map requirements exposed a latent bug here. (Aaron Bentley)
749
750
* Issue a warning and ignore passwords declared in authentication.conf when
751
used for an ssh scheme (sftp or bzr+ssh).
752
(Vincent Ladeuil, #203186)
753
754
* Make both http implementations raise appropriate exceptions on 403
755
Forbidden when POSTing smart requests.
756
(Vincent Ladeuil, #230223)
757
758
* Properly *title* header names in http requests instead of capitalizing
759
them.
760
(Vincent Ladeuil, #229076)
761
762
* The "Unable to obtain lock" error message now also suggests using
763
``bzr break-lock`` to fix it. (Martin Albisetti, #139202)
764
765
* Treat an encoding of '' as ascii; this can happen when bzr is run
766
under vim on Mac OS X.
767
(Neil Martinsen-Burrell)
768
769
* ``VersionedFile.make_mpdiffs()`` was raising an exception that wasn't in
770
scope. (Daniel Fischer #235687)
771
772
DOCUMENTATION:
773
774
* Added directory structure and started translation of docs in spanish.
775
(Martin Albisetti, Lucio Albenga)
776
777
* Incorporate feedback from Jelmer Vernooij and Neil Martinsen-Burrell
778
on the plugin and integration chapters of the User Guide.
779
(Ian Clatworthy)
780
781
* More Bazaar developer documentation about packaging and release process,
782
and about use of Python reprs.
783
(Martin Pool, Martin Albisetti)
784
785
* Updated Tortise strategy document. (Mark Hammond)
786
787
TESTING:
788
789
* ``bzrlib.tests.adapt_tests`` was broken and unused - it has been fixed.
790
(Robert Collins)
791
792
* Fix the test HTTPServer to be isolated from chdir calls made while it is
793
running, allowing it to be used in blackbox tests. (Robert Collins)
794
795
* New helper function for splitting test suites
796
``split_suite_by_condition``. (Robert Collins)
797
798
INTERNALS:
799
800
* ``Branch.missing_revisions`` has been deprecated. Similar functionality
801
can be obtained using ``bzrlib.missing.find_unmerged``. The api was
802
fairly broken, and the function was unused, so we are getting rid of it.
803
(John Arbash Meinel)
804
805
API CHANGES:
806
807
* ``Branch.abspath`` is deprecated; use the Tree or Transport
808
instead. (Martin Pool)
809
810
* ``Branch.update_revisions`` now takes an optional ``Graph``
811
object. This can be used by ``update_revisions`` when it is
812
checking ancestry, and allows callers to prefer request to go to a
813
local branch. (John Arbash Meinel)
814
815
* Branch, Repository, Tree and BzrDir should expose a Transport as an
816
attribute if they have one, rather than having it indirectly accessible
817
as ``.control_files._transport``. This doesn't add a requirement
818
to support a Transport in cases where it was not needed before;
819
it just simplifies the way it is reached. (Martin Pool)
820
821
* ``bzr missing --mine-only`` will return status code 0 if you have no
822
new revisions, but the remote does. Similarly for ``--theirs-only``.
823
The new code only checks one side, so it doesn't know if the other
824
side has changes. This seems more accurate with the request anyway.
825
It also changes the output to print '[This|Other] branch is up to
826
date.' rather than displaying nothing. (John Arbash Meinel)
827
828
* ``LockableFiles.put_utf8``, ``put_bytes`` and ``controlfilename``
829
are now deprecated in favor of using Transport operations.
830
(Martin Pool)
831
832
* Many methods on ``VersionedFile``, ``Repository`` and in
833
``bzrlib.revision`` deprecated before bzrlib 1.5 have been removed.
834
(Robert Collins)
835
836
* ``RevisionSpec.wants_revision_history`` can be set to False for a given
837
``RevisionSpec``. This will disable the existing behavior of passing in
838
the full revision history to ``self._match_on``. Useful for specs that
839
don't actually need access to the full history. (John Arbash Meinel)
840
841
* The constructors of ``SmartClientMedium`` and its subclasses now require a
842
``base`` parameter. ``SmartClientMedium`` implementations now also need
843
to provide a ``remote_path_from_transport`` method. (Andrew Bennetts)
844
845
* The default permissions for creating new files and directories
846
should now be obtained from ``BzrDir._get_file_mode()`` and
847
``_get_dir_mode()``, rather than from LockableFiles. The ``_set_file_mode``
848
and ``_set_dir_mode`` variables on LockableFiles which were advertised
849
as a way for plugins to control this are no longer consulted.
850
(Martin Pool)
851
852
* ``VersionedFile.join`` is deprecated. This method required local
853
instances of both versioned file objects and was thus hostile to being
854
used for streaming from a smart server. The new get_record_stream and
855
insert_record_stream are meant to efficiently replace this method.
856
(Robert Collins)
857
858
* ``WorkingTree.set_parent_(ids/trees)`` will now filter out revisions
859
which are in the ancestry of other revisions. So if you merge the same
860
tree twice, or merge an ancestor of an existing merge, it will only
861
record the newest. (If you merge a descendent, it will replace its
862
ancestor). (John Arbash Meinel, #235407)
863
864
* ``WorkingTreeFormat2.stub_initialize_remote`` is now private.
865
(Martin Pool)

bzr 1.5 2008-05-16
869
------------------
870
871
This release of Bazaar includes several updates to the documentation, and fixes
872
to prepare for making rich root support the default format. Many bugs have been
873
squashed, including fixes to log, bzr+ssh inter-operation with older servers.
874
875
CHANGES:
876
877
* Suppress deprecation warnings when bzrlib is a 'final' release. This way
878
users of packaged software won't be bothered with DeprecationWarnings,
879
but developers and testers will still see them. (John Arbash Meinel)
880
881
DOCUMENTATION:
882
883
* Incorporate feedback from Jelmer Vernooij and Neil Martinsen-Burrell
884
on the plugin and integration chapters of the User Guide.

889
---------------------
890
891
NOTES WHEN UPGRADING:
892
893
CHANGES:
894
895
* Broader support of GNU Emacs mail clients. Set
896
``mail_client=emacsclient`` in your bazaar.conf and ``send`` will pop the
897
bundle in a mail buffer according to the value of ``mail-user-agent``
898
variable. (Xavier Maillard)
899
900
FEATURES:
901
902
IMPROVEMENTS:
903
904
* Diff now handles revision specs like "branch:" and "submit:" more
905
efficiently. (Aaron Bentley, #202928)
906
907
* More friendly error given when attempt to start the smart server
908
on an address already in use. (Andrea Corbellini, #200575)
909
910
* Pull completes much faster when there is nothing to pull.
911
(Aaron Bentley)
912
913
BUGFIXES:
914
915
* Authentication.conf can define sections without password.
916
(Vincent Ladeuil, #199440)
917
918
* Avoid muttering every time a child update does not cause a progress bar
919
update. (John Arbash Meinel, #213771)
920
921
* ``Branch.reconcile()`` is now implemented. This allows ``bzr reconcile``
922
to fix when a Branch has a non-canonical mainline history. ``bzr check``
923
also detects this condition. (John Arbash Meinel, #177855)
924
925
* ``bzr log -r ..X bzr://`` was failing, because it was getting a request
926
for ``revision_id=None`` which was not a string.
927
(John Arbash Meinel, #211661)
928
929
* ``bzr commit`` now works with Microsoft's FTP service.

* Catch definitions outside sections in authentication.conf.
933
(Vincent Ladeuil, #217650)
934
935
* Conversion from non-rich-root to rich-root(-pack) updates inventory
936
sha1s, even when bundles are used. (Aaron Bentley, #181391)
937
938
* Conversion from non-rich-root to rich-root(-pack) works correctly even
939
though search keys are not topologically sorted. (Aaron Bentley)
940
941
* Conversion from non-rich-root to rich-root(-pack) works even when a
942
parent revision has a different root id. (Aaron Bentley, #177874)
943
944
* Disable strace testing until strace is fixed (see bug #103133) and emit a
945
warning when selftest ends to remind us of leaking tests.
946
(Vincent Ladeuil, #226769)
947
948
* Fetching all revisions from a repository does not cause pack collisions.
949
(Robert Collins, Aaron Bentley, #212908)
950
951
* Fix error about "attempt to add line-delta in non-delta knit".
952
(Andrew Bennetts, #217701)
953
954
* Pushing a branch in "dirstate" format (Branch5) over bzr+ssh would break
955
if the remote server was < version 1.2. This was due to a bug in the
956
RemoteRepository.get_parent_map() fallback code.
957
(John Arbash Meinel, #214894)
958
959
* Remove leftover code in ``bzr_branch`` that inappropriately creates
960
a ``branch-name`` file in the branch control directory.
961
(Martin Pool)
962
963
* Set SO_REUSEADDR on server sockets of ``bzr serve`` to avoid problems
964
rebinding the socket when starting the server a second time.
965
(John Arbash Meinel, Martin Pool, #164288)
966
967
* Severe performance degradation in fetching from knit repositories to
968
knits and packs due to parsing the entire revisions.kndx on every graph
969
walk iteration fixed by using the Repository.get_graph API. There was
970
another regression in knit => knit fetching which re-read the index for
971
every revision each side had in common.
972
(Robert Collins, John Arbash Meinel)
973
974
* When logging the changes to a particular file, there was a bug if there
975
were ghosts in the revision ancestry. (John Arbash Meinel, #209948)
976
977
* xs4all's ftp server returns a temporary error when trying to list an
978
empty directory, rather than returning an empty list. Adding a
979
workaround so that we don't get spurious failures.
980
(John Arbash Meinel, #215522)
981
982
DOCUMENTATION:
983
984
* Expanded the User Guide to include new chapters on popular plugins and
985
integrating Bazaar into your environment. The *Best practices* chapter
986
was renamed to *Miscellaneous topics* as suggested by community
987
feedback as well. (Ian Clatworthy)
988
989
* Document outlining strategies for TortoiseBzr. (Mark Hammond)
990
991
* Improved the documentation on hooks. (Ian Clatworthy)
992
993
* Update authentication docs regarding ssh agents.
994
(Vincent Ladeuil, #183705)
995
996
TESTING:
997
998
* Add ``thread_name_suffix`` parameter to SmartTCPServer_for_testing, to
999
make it easy to identify which test spawned a thread with an unhandled
1000
exception. (Andrew Bennetts)
1001
1002
* New ``--debugflag``/``-E`` option to ``bzr selftest`` for setting
1003
options for debugging tests, these are complementary to the the -D
1004
options. The ``-Dselftest_debug`` global option has been replaced by the
1005
``-E=allow_debug`` option for selftest. (Andrew Bennetts)
1006
1007
* Parameterised test ids are preserved correctly to aid diagnosis of test
1008
failures. (Robert Collins, Andrew Bennetts)
1009
1010
* selftest now accepts --starting-with <id> to load only the tests whose id
1011
starts with the one specified. This greatly speeds up running the test
1012
suite on a limited set of tests and can be used to run the tests for a
1013
single module, a single class or even a single test. (Vincent Ladeuil)
1014
1015
* The test suite modules have been modified to define load_tests() instead
1016
of test_suite(). That speeds up selective loading (via --load-list)
1017
significantly and provides many examples on how to migrate (grep for
1018
load_tests). (Vincent Ladeuil)
1019
1020
INTERNALS:
1021
1022
* ``Hooks.install_hook`` is now deprecated in favour of
1023
``Hooks.install_named_hook`` which adds a required ``name`` parameter, to
1024
avoid having to call ``Hooks.name_hook``. (Daniel Watkins)
1025
1026
* Implement xml8 serializer. (Aaron Bentley)
1027
1028
* New form ``@deprecated_method(deprecated_in(1, 5, 0))`` for making
1029
deprecation wrappers. (Martin Pool)
1030
1031
* ``Repository.revision_parents`` is now deprecated in favour of
1032
``Repository.get_parent_map([revid])[revid]``. (Jelmer Vernooij)
1033
1034
* The Python ``assert`` statement is no longer used in Bazaar source, and
1035
a test checks this. (Martin Pool)
1036
1037
API CHANGES:
1038
1039
* ``bzrlib.status.show_pending_merges`` requires the repository to be
1040
locked by the caller. Callers should have been doing it anyway, but it
1041
will now raise an exception if they do not. (John Arbash Meinel)
1042
1043
* Repository.get_data_stream, Repository.get_data_stream_for_search(),
1044
Repository.get_deltas_for_revsions(), Repository.revision_trees(),
1045
Repository.item_keys_introduced_by() no longer take read locks.
1046
(Aaron Bentley)
1047
1048
* ``LockableFiles.get_utf8`` and ``.get`` are deprecated, as a start
1049
towards removing LockableFiles and ``.control_files`` entirely.
1050
(Martin Pool)
1051
1052
* Methods deprecated prior to 1.1 have been removed.

bzr 1.4 2008-04-28
1057
------------------
1058
1059
This release of Bazaar includes handy improvements to the speed of log and
1060
status, new options for several commands, improved documentation, and better
1061
hooks, including initial code for server-side hooks. A number of bugs have
1062
been fixed, particularly in interoperability between different formats or
1063
different releases of Bazaar over there network. There's been substantial
1064
internal work in both the repository and network code to enable new features
1065
and faster performance.
1066
1067
BUG FIXES:
1068
1069
* Pushing a branch in "dirstate" format (Branch5) over bzr+ssh would break
1070
if the remote server was < version 1.2. This was due to a bug in the
1071
RemoteRepository.get_parent_map() fallback code.

1076
---------------------
1077
1078
BUG FIXES:
1079
1080
* ``bzr log -r ..X bzr://`` was failing, because it was getting a request
1081
for ``revision_id=None`` which was not a string.
1082
(John Arbash Meinel, #211661)
1083
1084
* Fixed a bug in handling ghost revisions when logging changes in a
1085
particular file. (John Arbash Meinel, #209948)
1086
1087
* Fix error about "attempt to add line-delta in non-delta knit".
1088
(Andrew Bennetts, #205156)
1089
1090
* Fixed performance degradation in fetching from knit repositories to
1091
knits and packs due to parsing the entire revisions.kndx on every graph
1092
walk iteration fixed by using the Repository.get_graph API. There was
1093

1099
---------------------
1100
1101
CHANGES:
1102
1103
* bzr main script cannot be imported (Benjamin Peterson)
1104
1105
* On Linux bzr additionally looks for plugins in arch-independent site
1106
directory. (Toshio Kuratomi)
1107
1108
* The ``set_rh`` branch hook is now deprecated. Please migrate
1109
any plugins using this hook to use an alternative, e.g.
1110
``post_change_branch_tip``. (Ian Clatworthy)
1111
1112
* When a plugin cannot be loaded as the file path is not a valid
1113
python module name bzr will now strip a ``bzr_`` prefix from the
1114
front of the suggested name, as many plugins (e.g. bzr-svn)
1115
want to be installed without this prefix. It is a common mistake
1116
to have a folder named "bzr-svn" for that plugin, especially
1117
as this is what bzr branch lp:bzr-svn will give you. (James Westby,
1118
Andrew Cowie)
1119
1120
* UniqueIntegerBugTracker now appends bug-ids instead of joining
1121
them to the base URL. Plugins that register bug trackers may
1122
need a trailing / added to the base URL if one is not already there.
1123
(James Wesby, Andrew Cowie)
1124
1125
FEATURES:
1126
1127
* Added start_commit hook for mutable trees. (Jelmer Vernooij, #186422)
1128
1129
* ``status`` now accepts ``--no-pending`` to show the status without
1130
listing pending merges, which speeds up the command a lot on large
1131
histories. (James Westby, #202830)
1132
1133
* New ``post_change_branch_tip`` hook that is called after the
1134
branch tip is moved but while the branch is still write-locked.
1135
See the User Reference for signature details.
1136
(Ian Clatworthy, James Henstridge)
1137
1138
* Reconfigure can convert a branch to be standalone or to use a shared
1139
repository. (Aaron Bentley)
1140
1141
IMPROVEMENTS:
1142
1143
* The smart protocol now has support for setting branches' revision info
1144
directly. This should make operations like push slightly faster, and is a
1145
step towards server-side hooks. The new request method name is
1146
``Branch.set_last_revision_info``. (Andrew Bennetts)
1147
1148
* ``bzr commit --fixes`` now recognises "gnome" as a tag by default.
1149
(James Westby, Andrew Cowie)
1150
1151
* ``bzr switch`` will attempt to find branches to switch to relative to the
1152
current branch. E.g. ``bzr switch branchname`` will look for
1153
``current_branch/../branchname``. (Robert Collins, Jelmer Vernooij,
1154
Wouter van Heyst)
1155
1156
* Diff is now more specific about execute-bit changes it describes
1157
(Chad Miller)
1158
1159
* Fetching data over HTTP is a bit faster when urllib is used. This is done
1160
by forcing it to recv 64k at a time when reading lines in HTTP headers,
1161
rather than just 1 byte at a time. (Andrew Bennetts)
1162
1163
* Log --short and --line are much faster when -r is not specified.
1164
(Aaron Bentley)
1165
1166
* Merge is faster. We no longer check a file's existence unnecessarily
1167
when merging the execute bit. (Aaron Bentley)
1168
1169
* ``bzr status`` on an explicit list of files no longer shows pending
1170
merges, making it much faster on large trees. (John Arbash Meinel)
1171
1172
* The launchpad directory service now warns the user if they have not set
1173
their launchpad login and are trying to resolve a URL using it, just
1174
in case they want to do a write operation with it. (James Westby)
1175
1176
* The smart protocol client is slightly faster, because it now only queries
1177
the server for the protocol version once per connection. Also, the HTTP
1178
transport will now automatically probe for and use a smart server if
1179
one is present. You can use the new ``nosmart+`` transport decorator
1180
to get the old behaviour. (Andrew Bennetts)
1181
1182
* The ``version`` command takes a ``--short`` option to print just the
1183
version number, for easier use in scripts. (Martin Pool)
1184
1185
* Various operations with revision specs and commands that calculate
1186
revnos and revision ids are faster. (John A. Meinel, Aaron Bentley)
1187
1188
BUGFIXES:
1189
1190
* Add ``root_client_path`` parameter to SmartWSGIApp and
1191
SmartServerRequest. This makes it possible to publish filesystem
1192
locations that don't exactly match URL paths. SmartServerRequest
1193
subclasses should use the new ``translate_client_path`` and
1194
``transport_from_client_path`` methods when dealing with paths received
1195
from a client to take this into account. (Andrew Bennetts, #124089)
1196
1197
* ``bzr mv a b`` can be now used also to rename previously renamed
1198
directories, not only files. (Lukáš Lalinský, #107967)
1199
1200
* ``bzr uncommit --local`` can now remove revisions from the local
1201
branch to be symmetric with ``bzr commit --local``.
1202
(John Arbash Meinel, #93412)
1203
1204
* Don't ask for a password if there is no real terminal.
1205
(Alexander Belchenko, #69851)
1206
1207
* Fix a bug causing a ValueError crash in ``parse_line_delta_iter`` when
1208
fetching revisions from a knit to pack repository or vice versa using
1209
bzr:// (including over http or ssh).
1210
(#208418, Andrew Bennetts, Martin Pool, Robert Collins)
1211
1212
* Fixed ``_get_line`` in ``bzrlib.smart.medium``, which was buggy. Also
1213
fixed ``_get_bytes`` in the same module to use the push back buffer.
1214
These bugs had no known impact in normal use, but were problematic for
1215
developers working on the code, and were likely to cause real bugs sooner
1216
or later. (Andrew Bennetts)
1217
1218
* Implement handling of basename parameter for DefaultMail. (James Westby)
1219
1220
* Incompatibility with Paramiko versions newer than 1.7.2 was fixed.
1221
(Andrew Bennetts, #213425)
1222
1223
* Launchpad locations (lp: URLs) can be pulled. (Aaron Bentley, #181945)
1224
1225
* Merges that add files to deleted root directories complete. They
1226
do create conflicts. (Aaron Bentley, #210092)
1227
1228
* vsftp's return ``550 RNFR command failed.`` supported.
1229
(Marcus Trautwig, #129786)
1230
1231
DOCUMENTATION:
1232
1233
* Improved documentation on send/merge relationship. (Peter Schuller)
1234
1235
* Minor fixes to the User Guide. (Matthew Fuller)
1236
1237
* Reduced the evangelism in the User Guide. (Ian Clatworthy)
1238
1239
* Added Integrating with Bazaar document for developers (Martin Albisetti)
1240
1241
API BREAKS:
1242
1243
* Attempting to pull data from a ghost aware repository (e.g. knits) into a
1244
non-ghost aware repository such as weaves will now fail if there are
1245
ghosts. (Robert Collins)
1246
1247
* ``KnitVersionedFile`` no longer accepts an ``access_mode`` parameter, and
1248
now requires the ``index`` and ``access_method`` parameters to be
1249
supplied. A compatible shim has been kept in the new function
1250
``knit.make_file_knit``. (Robert Collins)
1251
1252
* Log formatters must now provide log_revision instead of show and
1253
show_merge_revno methods. The latter had been deprecated since the 0.17
1254
release. (James Westby)
1255
1256
* ``LoopbackSFTP`` is now called ``SocketAsChannelAdapter``.
1257
(Andrew Bennetts)
1258
1259
* ``osutils.backup_file`` is removed. (Alexander Belchenko)
1260
1261
* ``Repository.get_revision_graph`` is deprecated, with no replacement
1262
method. The method was size(history) and not desirable. (Robert Collins)
1263
1264
* ``revision.revision_graph`` is deprecated, with no replacement function.
1265
The function was size(history) and not desirable. (Robert Collins)
1266
1267
* ``Transport.get_shared_medium`` is deprecated. Use
1268
``Transport.get_smart_medium`` instead. (Andrew Bennetts)
1269
1270
* ``VersionedFile`` factories now accept a get_scope parameter rather
1271
than using a call to ``transaction_finished``, allowing the removal of
1272
the fixed list of versioned files per repository. (Robert Collins)
1273
1274
* ``VersionedFile.annotate_iter`` is deprecated. While in principle this
1275
allowed lower memory use, all users of annotations wanted full file
1276
annotations, and there is no storage format suitable for incremental
1277
line-by-line annotation. (Robert Collins)
1278
1279
* ``VersionedFile.clone_text`` is deprecated. This performance optimisation
1280
is no longer used - reading the content of a file that is undergoing a
1281
file level merge to identical state on two branches is rare enough, and
1282
not expensive enough to special case. (Robert Collins)
1283
1284
* ``VersionedFile.clear_cache`` and ``enable_cache`` are deprecated.
1285
These methods added significant complexity to the ``VersionedFile``
1286
implementation, but were only used for optimising fetches from knits -
1287
which can be done from outside the knit layer, or via a caching
1288
decorator. As knits are not the default format, the complexity is no
1289
longer worth paying. (Robert Collins)
1290
1291
* ``VersionedFile.create_empty`` is removed. This method presupposed a
1292
sensible mapping to a transport for individual files, but pack backed
1293
versioned files have no such mapping. (Robert Collins)
1294
1295
* ``VersionedFile.get_graph`` is deprecated, with no replacement method.
1296
The method was size(history) and not desirable. (Robert Collins)
1297
1298
* ``VersionedFile.get_graph_with_ghosts`` is deprecated, with no
1299
replacement method. The method was size(history) and not desirable.
1300
(Robert Collins)
1301
1302
* ``VersionedFile.get_parents`` is deprecated, please use
1303
``VersionedFile.get_parent_map``. (Robert Collins)
1304
1305
* ``VersionedFile.get_sha1`` is deprecated, please use
1306
``VersionedFile.get_sha1s``. (Robert Collins)
1307
1308
* ``VersionedFile.has_ghost`` is now deprecated, as it is both expensive
1309
and unused outside of a single test. (Robert Collins)
1310
1311
* ``VersionedFile.iter_parents`` is now deprecated in favour of
1312
``get_parent_map`` which can be used to instantiate a Graph on a
1313
VersionedFile. (Robert Collins)
1314
1315
* ``VersionedFileStore`` no longer uses the transaction parameter given
1316
to most methods; amongst other things this means that the
1317
get_weave_or_empty method no longer guarantees errors on a missing weave
1318
in a readonly transaction, and no longer caches versioned file instances
1319
which reduces memory pressure (but requires more careful management by
1320
callers to preserve performance). (Robert Collins)
1321
1322
TESTING:
1323
1324
* New -Dselftest_debug flag disables clearing of the debug flags during
1325
tests. This is useful if you want to use e.g. -Dhpss to help debug a
1326
failing test. Be aware that using this feature is likely to cause
1327
spurious test failures if used with the full suite. (Andrew Bennetts)
1328
1329
* selftest --load-list now uses a new more agressive test loader that will
1330
avoid loading unneeded modules and building their tests. Plugins can use
1331
this new loader by defining a load_tests function instead of a test_suite
1332
function. (a forthcoming patch will provide many examples on how to
1333
implement this).
1334
(Vincent Ladeuil)
1335
1336
* selftest --load-list now does some sanity checks regarding duplicate test
1337
IDs and tests present in the list but not found in the actual test suite.
1338
(Vincent Ladeuil)
1339
1340
* Slightly more concise format for the selftest progress bar, so there's
1341
more space to show the test name. (Martin Pool) ::
1342
1343
[2500/10884, 1fail, 3miss in 1m29s] test_revisionnamespaces.TestRev
1344
1345
* The test suite takes much less memory to run, and is a bit faster. This
1346
is done by clearing most attributes of TestCases after running them, if
1347
they succeeded. (Andrew Bennetts)
1348
1349
INTERNALS:
1350
1351
* Added ``_build_client_protocol`` to ``_SmartClient``. (Andrew Bennetts)
1352
1353
* Added basic infrastructure for automatic plugin suggestion.
1354
(Martin Albisetti)
1355
1356
* If a ``LockableFiles`` object is not explicitly unlocked (for example
1357
because of a missing ``try/finally`` block, it will give a warning but
1358
not automatically unlock itself. (Previously they did.) This
1359
sometimes caused knock-on errors if for example the network connection
1360
had already failed, and should not be relied upon by code.
1361
(Martin Pool, #109520)
1362
1363
* ``make dist`` target to build a release tarball, and also
1364
``check-dist-tarball`` and ``dist-upload-escudero``. (Martin Pool)
1365
1366
* The ``read_response_tuple`` method of ``SmartClientRequestProtocol*``
1367
classes will now raise ``UnknownSmartMethod`` when appropriate, so that
1368
callers don't need to try distinguish unknown request errors from other
1369
errors. (Andrew Bennetts)
1370
1371
* ``set_make_working_trees`` is now implemented provided on all repository
1372
implementations (Aaron Bentley)
1373
1374
* ``VersionedFile`` now has a new method ``get_parent_map`` which, like
1375
``Graph.get_parent_map`` returns a dict of key:parents. (Robert Collins)

---------------------
1386
1387
BUG FIXES:
1388
1389
* Fix a bug causing a ValueError crash in ``parse_line_delta_iter`` when
1390
fetching revisions from a knit to pack repository or vice versa using
1391
bzr:// (including over http or ssh).

bzr 1.3 2008-03-20
1396
------------------
1397
1398
Bazaar has become part of the GNU project <http://www.gnu.org>
1399
1400
Many operations that act on history, including ``log`` and ``annotate`` are now
1401
substantially faster. Several bugs have been fixed and several new options and
1402
features have been added.
1403
1404
TESTING:
1405
1406
* Avoid spurious failure of ``TestVersion.test_version`` matching
1407
directory names.

NOTES WHEN UPGRADING:
1415
1416
* The backup directory created by ``upgrade`` is now called
1417
``backup.bzr``, not ``.bzr.backup``. (Martin Albisetti)
1418
1419
CHANGES:
1420
1421
* A new repository format 'development' has been added. This format will
1422
represent the latest 'in-progress' format that the bzr developers are
1423
interested in getting early-adopter testing and feedback on.
1424
``doc/developers/development-repo.txt`` has detailed information.
1425
(Robert Collins)
1426
1427
* BZR_LOG environment variable controls location of .bzr.log trace file.
1428
User can suppress writing messages to .bzr.log by using '/dev/null'
1429
filename (on Linux) or 'NUL' (on Windows). If BZR_LOG variable
1430
is not defined but BZR_HOME is defined then default location
1431
for .bzr.log trace file is ``$BZR_HOME/.bzr.log``.
1432
(Alexander Belchenko)
1433
1434
* ``launchpad`` builtin plugin now shipped as separate part in standalone
1435
bzr.exe, installed to ``C:\Program Files\Bazaar\plugins`` directory,
1436
and standalone installer allows user to skip installation of this plugin.
1437
(Alexander Belchenko)
1438
1439
* Restore auto-detection of plink.exe on Windows. (Dmitry Vasiliev)
1440
1441
* Version number is now shown as "1.2" or "1.2pr2", without zeroed or
1442
missing final fields. (Martin Pool)
1443
1444
FEATURES:
1445
1446
* ``branch`` and ``checkout`` can hard-link working tree files, which is
1447
faster and saves space. (Aaron Bentley)
1448
1449
* ``bzr send`` will now also look at the ``child_submit_to`` setting in
1450
the submit branch to determine the email address to send to.
1451
(Jelmer Vernooij)
1452
1453
IMPROVEMENTS:
1454
1455
* BzrBranch._lefthand_history is faster on pack repos. (Aaron Bentley)
1456
1457
* Branch6.generate_revision_history is faster. (Aaron Bentley)
1458
1459
* Directory services can now be registered, allowing special URLs to be
1460
dereferenced into real URLs. This is a generalization and cleanup of
1461
the lp: transport lookup. (Aaron Bentley)
1462
1463
* Merge directives that are automatically attached to emails have nicer
1464
filenames, based on branch-nick + revno. (Aaron Bentley)
1465
1466
* ``push`` has a ``--revision`` option, to specify what revision to push up
1467
to. (Daniel Watkins)
1468
1469
* Significantly reducing execution time and network traffic for trivial
1470
case of running ``bzr missing`` command for two identical branches.
1471
(Alexander Belchenko)
1472
1473
* Speed up operations that look at the revision graph (such as 'bzr log').
1474
``KnitPackRepositor.get_revision_graph`` uses ``Graph.iter_ancestry`` to
1475
extract the revision history. This allows filtering ghosts while
1476
stepping instead of needing to peek ahead. (John Arbash Meinel)
1477
1478
* The ``hooks`` command lists installed hooks, to assist in debugging.
1479
(Daniel Watkins)
1480
1481
* Updates to how ``annotate`` work. Should see a measurable improvement in
1482
performance and memory consumption for file with a lot of merges.
1483
Also, correctly handle when a line is introduced by both parents (it
1484
should be attributed to the first merge which notices this, and not
1485
to all subsequent merges.) (John Arbash Meinel)
1486
1487
BUGFIXES:
1488
1489
* Autopacking no longer holds the full set of inventory lines in
1490
memory while copying. For large repositories, this can amount to
1491
hundreds of MB of ram consumption.
1492
(Ian Clatworthy, John Arbash Meinel)
1493
1494
* Cherrypicking when using ``--format=merge3`` now explictly excludes
1495
BASE lines. (John Arbash Meinel, #151731)
1496
1497
* Disable plink's interactive prompt for password.
1498
(#107593, Dmitry Vasiliev)
1499
1500
* Encode command line arguments from unicode to user_encoding before
1501
invoking external mail client in `bzr send` command.
1502
(#139318, Alexander Belchenko)
1503
1504
* Fixed problem connecting to ``bzr+https://`` servers.
1505
(#198793, John Ferlito)
1506
1507
* Improved error reporting in the Launchpad plugin. (Daniel Watkins,
1508
#196618)
1509
1510
* Include quick-start-summary.svg file to python-based installer(s)
1511
for Windows. (#192924, Alexander Belchenko)
1512
1513
* lca merge now respects specified files. (Aaron Bentley)
1514
1515
* Make version-info --custom imply --all. (#195560, James Westby)
1516
1517
* ``merge --preview`` now works for merges that add or modify
1518
symlinks (James Henstridge)
1519
1520
* Redirecting the output from ``bzr merge`` (when the remembered
1521
location is used) now works. (John Arbash Meinel)
1522
1523
* setup.py script explicitly checks for Python version.
1524
(Jari Aalto, Alexander Belchenko, #200569)
1525
1526
* UnknownFormatErrors no longer refer to branches regardless of kind of
1527
unknown format. (Daniel Watkins, #173980)
1528
1529
* Upgrade bundled ConfigObj to version 4.5.2, which properly quotes #
1530
signs, among other small improvements. (Matt Nordhoff, #86838)
1531
1532
* Use correct indices when emitting LCA conflicts. This fixes IndexError
1533
errors. (Aaron Bentley, #196780)
1534
1535
DOCUMENTATION:
1536
1537
* Explained how to use ``version-info --custom`` in the User Guide.
1538
(Neil Martinsen-Burrell)
1539
1540
API BREAKS:
1541
1542
* Support for loading plugins from zip files and
1543
``bzrlib.plugin.load_from_zip()`` function are deprecated.
1544
(Alexander Belchenko)
1545
1546
TESTING:
1547
1548
* Added missing blackbox tests for ``modified`` (Adrian Wilkins)
1549
1550
* The branch interface tests were invalid for branches using rich-root
1551
repositories because the empty string is not a valid file-id.
1552
(Robert Collins)
1553
1554
INTERNALS:
1555
1556
* ``Graph.iter_ancestry`` returns the ancestry of revision ids. Similar to
1557
``Repository.get_revision_graph()`` except it includes ghosts and you can
1558
stop part-way through. (John Arbash Meinel)
1559
1560
* New module ``tools/package_mf.py`` provide custom module finder for
1561
python packages (improves standard python library's modulefinder.py)
1562
used by ``setup.py`` script while building standalone bzr.exe.
1563
(Alexander Belchenko)
1564
1565
* New remote method ``RemoteBzrDir.find_repositoryV2`` adding support for
1566
detecting external lookup support on remote repositories. This method is
1567
now attempted first when lookup up repositories, leading to an extra
1568
round trip on older bzr smart servers. (Robert Collins)
1569
1570
* Repository formats have a new supported-feature attribute
1571
``supports_external_lookups`` used to indicate repositories which support
1572
falling back to other repositories when they have partial data.
1573
(Robert Collins)
1574
1575
* ``Repository.get_revision_graph_with_ghosts`` and
1576
``bzrlib.revision.(common_ancestor,MultipleRevisionSources,common_graph)``
1577
have been deprecated. (John Arbash Meinel)
1578
1579
* ``Tree.iter_changes`` is now a public API, replacing the work-in-progress
1580
``Tree._iter_changes``. The api is now considered stable and ready for
1581
external users. (Aaron Bentley)
1582
1583
* The bzrdir format registry now accepts an ``alias`` keyword to
1584
register_metadir, used to indicate that a format name is an alias for
1585
some other format and thus should not be reported when describing the
1586
format. (Robert Collins)

1600
NOTES WHEN UPGRADING:
1601
1602
* Fetching via the smart protocol may need to reconnect once during a fetch
1603
if the remote server is running Bazaar 1.1 or earlier, because the client
1604
attempts to use more efficient requests that confuse older servers. You
1605
may be required to re-enter a password or passphrase when this happens.
1606
This won't happen if the server is upgraded to Bazaar 1.2.
1607
(Andrew Bennetts)
1608
1609
CHANGES:
1610
1611
* Fetching via bzr+ssh will no longer fill ghosts by default (this is
1612
consistent with pack-0.92 fetching over SFTP). (Robert Collins)
1613
1614
* Formatting of ``bzr plugins`` output is changed to be more human-
1615
friendly. Full path of plugins locations will be shown only with
1616
``--verbose`` command-line option. (Alexander Belchenko)
1617
1618
* ``merge`` now prefers to use the submit branch, but will fall back to
1619
parent branch. For many users, this has no effect. But some users who
1620
pull and merge on the same branch will notice a change. This change
1621
makes it easier to work on a branch on two different machines, pulling
1622
between the machines, while merging from the upstream.
1623
``merge --remember`` can now be used to set the submit_branch.
1624
(Aaron Bentley)
1625
1626
FEATURES:
1627
1628
* ``merge --preview`` produces a diff of the changes merge would make,
1629
but does not actually perform the merge. (Aaron Bentley)
1630
1631
* New smart method ``Repository.get_parent_map`` for getting revision
1632
parent data. This returns additional parent information topologically
1633
adjacent to the requested data to reduce round trip latency impacts.
1634
(Robert Collins)
1635
1636
* New smart method, ``Repository.stream_revisions_chunked``, for fetching
1637
revision data that streams revision data via a chunked encoding. This
1638
avoids buffering large amounts of revision data on the server and on the
1639
client, and sends less data to the server to request the revisions.
1640
(Andrew Bennetts, Robert Collins, #178353)
1641
1642
* The launchpad plugin now handles lp urls of the form
1643
``lp://staging/``, ``lp://demo/``, ``lp://dev/`` to use the appropriate
1644
launchpad instance to do the resolution of the branch identities.
1645
This is primarily of use to Launchpad developers, but can also
1646
be used by other users who want to try out Launchpad as
1647
a branch location without messing up their public Launchpad
1648
account. Branches that are pushed to the staging environment
1649
have an expected lifetime of one day. (Tim Penhey)
1650
1651
IMPROVEMENTS:
1652
1653
* Creating a new branch no longer tries to read the entire revision-history
1654
unnecessarily over smart server operations. (Robert Collins)
1655
1656
* Fetching between different repository formats with compatible models now
1657
takes advantage of the smart method to stream revisions. (Andrew Bennetts)
1658
1659
* The ``--coverage`` option is now global, rather specific to ``bzr
1660
selftest``. (Andrew Bennetts)
1661
1662
* The ``register-branch`` command will now use the public url of the branch
1663
containing the current directory, if one has been set and no explicit
1664
branch is provided. (Robert Collins)
1665
1666
* Tweak the ``reannotate`` code path to optimize the 2-parent case.
1667
Speeds up ``bzr annotate`` with a pack repository by approx 3:2.
1668
(John Arbash Meinel)
1669
1670
BUGFIXES:
1671
1672
* Calculate remote path relative to the shared medium in _SmartClient. This
1673
is related to the problem in bug #124089. (Andrew Bennetts)
1674
1675
* Cleanly handle connection errors in smart protocol version two, the same
1676
way as they are handled by version one. (Andrew Bennetts)
1677
1678
* Clearer error when ``version-info --custom`` is used without
1679
``--template`` (Lukáš Lalinský)
1680
1681
* Don't raise UnavailableFeature during test setup when medusa is not
1682
available or tearDown is never called leading to nasty side effects.
1683
(#137823, Vincent Ladeuil)
1684
1685
* If a plugin's test suite cannot be loaded, for example because of a syntax
1686
error in the tests, then ``selftest`` fails, rather than just printing
1687
a warning. (Martin Pool, #189771)
1688
1689
* List possible values for BZR_SSH environment variable in env-variables
1690
help topic. (Alexander Belchenko, #181842)
1691
1692
* New methods ``push_log_file`` and ``pop_log_file`` to intercept messages:
1693
popping the log redirection now precisely restores the previous state,
1694
which makes it easier to use bzr log output from other programs.
1695
TestCaseInTempDir no longer depends on a log redirection being established
1696
by the test framework, which lets bzr tests cleanly run from a normal
1697
unittest runner.
1698
(#124153, #124849, Martin Pool, Jonathan Lange)
1699
1700
* ``pull --quiet`` is now more quiet, in particular a message is no longer
1701
printed when the remembered pull location is used. (James Westby,
1702
#185907)
1703
1704
* ``reconfigure`` can safely be interrupted while fetching.
1705
(Aaron Bentley, #179316)
1706
1707
* ``reconfigure`` preserves tags when converting to and from lightweight
1708
checkouts. (Aaron Bentley, #182040)
1709
1710
* Stop polluting /tmp when running selftest.
1711
(Vincent Ladeuil, #123623)
1712
1713
* Switch from NFKC => NFC for normalization checks. NFC allows a few
1714
more characters which should be considered valid.
1715
(John Arbash Meinel, #185458)
1716
1717
* The launchpad plugin now uses the ``edge`` xmlrpc server to avoid
1718
interacting badly with a bug on the launchpad side. (Robert Collins)
1719
1720
* Unknown hostnames when connecting to a ``bzr://`` URL no longer cause
1721
tracebacks. (Andrew Bennetts, #182849)
1722
1723
API BREAKS:
1724
1725
* Classes implementing Merge types like Merge3Merger must now accept (and
1726
honour) a do_merge flag in their constructor. (Aaron Bentley)
1727
1728
* ``Repository.add_inventory`` and ``add_revision`` now require the caller
1729
to previously take a write lock (and start a write group.)
1730
(Martin Pool)
1731
1732
TESTING:
1733
1734
* selftest now accepts --load-list <file> to load a test id list. This
1735
speeds up running the test suite on a limited set of tests.
1736
(Vincent Ladeuil)
1737
1738
INTERNALS:
1739
1740
* Add a new method ``get_result`` to graph search objects. The resulting
1741
``SearchResult`` can be used to recreate the search later, which will
1742
be useful in reducing network traffic. (Robert Collins)
1743
1744
* Use convenience function to check whether two repository handles
1745
are referring to the same repository in ``Repository.get_graph``.
1746
(Jelmer Vernooij, #187162)
1747
1748
* Fetching now passes the find_ghosts flag through to the
1749
``InterRepository.missing_revision_ids`` call consistently for all
1750
repository types. This will enable faster missing revision discovery with
1751
bzr+ssh. (Robert Collins)
1752
1753
* Fix error handling in Repository.insert_data_stream. (Lukas Lalinsky)
1754
1755
* ``InterRepository.missing_revision_ids`` is now deprecated in favour of
1756
``InterRepository.search_missing_revision_ids`` which returns a
1757
``bzrlib.graph.SearchResult`` suitable for making requests from the smart
1758
server. (Robert Collins)
1759
1760
* New error ``NoPublicBranch`` for commands that need a public branch to
1761
operate. (Robert Collins)
1762
1763
* New method ``iter_inventories`` on Repository for access to many
1764
inventories. This is primarily used by the ``revision_trees`` method, as
1765
direct access to inventories is discouraged. (Robert Collins)
1766
1767
* New method ``next_with_ghosts`` on the Graph breadth-first-search objects
1768
which will split out ghosts and present parents into two separate sets,
1769
useful for code which needs to be aware of ghosts (e.g. fetching data
1770
cares about ghosts during revision selection). (Robert Collins)
1771
1772
* Record a timestamp against each mutter to the trace file, relative to the
1773
first import of bzrlib. (Andrew Bennetts)
1774
1775
* ``Repository.get_data_stream`` is now deprecated in favour of
1776
``Repository.get_data_stream_for_search`` which allows less network
1777
traffic when requesting data streams over a smart server. (Robert Collins)
1778
1779
* ``RemoteBzrDir._get_tree_branch`` no longer triggers ``_ensure_real``,
1780
removing one round trip on many network operations. (Robert Collins)
1781
1782
* RemoteTransport's ``recommended_page_size`` method now returns 64k, like
1783
SFTPTransport and HttpTransportBase. (Andrew Bennetts)
1784
1785
* Repository has a new method ``has_revisions`` which signals the presence
1786
of many revisions by returning a set of the revisions listed which are
1787
present. This can be done by index queries without reading data for parent
1788
revision names etc. (Robert Collins)

bzr 1.1rc1 2008-01-05
1797
---------------------
1798
1799
CHANGES:
1800
1801
* Dotted revision numbers have been revised. Instead of growing longer with
1802
nested branches the branch number just increases. (eg instead of 1.1.1.1.1
1803
we now report 1.2.1.) This helps scale long lived branches which have many
1804
feature branches merged between them. (John Arbash Meinel)
1805
1806
* The syntax ``bzr diff branch1 branch2`` is no longer supported.
1807
Use ``bzr diff branch1 --new branch2`` instead. This change has
1808
been made to remove the ambiguity where ``branch2`` is in fact a
1809
specific file to diff within ``branch1``.
1810
1811
FEATURES:
1812
1813
* New option to use custom template-based formats in ``bzr version-info``.
1814
(Lukáš Lalinský)
1815
1816
* diff '--using' allows an external diff tool to be used for files.
1817
(Aaron Bentley)
1818
1819
* New "lca" merge-type for fast everyday merging that also supports
1820
criss-cross merges. (Aaron Bentley)
1821
1822
IMPROVEMENTS:
1823
1824
* ``annotate`` now doesn't require a working tree. (Lukáš Lalinský,
1825
#90049)
1826
1827
* ``branch`` and ``checkout`` can now use files from a working tree to
1828
to speed up the process. For checkout, this requires the new
1829
--files-from flag. (Aaron Bentley)
1830
1831
* ``bzr diff`` now sorts files in alphabetical order. (Aaron Bentley)
1832
1833
* ``bzr diff`` now works on branches without working trees. Tree-less
1834
branches can also be compared to each other and to working trees using
1835
the new diff options ``--old`` and ``--new``. Diffing between branches,
1836
with or without trees, now supports specific file filtering as well.
1837
(Ian Clatworthy, #6700)
1838
1839
* ``bzr pack`` now orders revision texts in topological order, with newest
1840
at the start of the file, promoting linear reads for ``bzr log`` and the
1841
like. This partially fixes #154129. (Robert Collins)
1842
1843
* Merge directives now fetch prerequisites from the target branch if
1844
needed. (Aaron Bentley)
1845
1846
* pycurl now handles digest authentication.
1847
(Vincent Ladeuil)
1848
1849
* ``reconfigure`` can now convert from repositories. (Aaron Bentley)
1850
1851
* ``-l`` is now a short form for ``--limit`` in ``log``. (Matt Nordhoff)
1852
1853
* ``merge`` now warns when merge directives cause cherrypicks.
1854
(Aaron Bentley)

1905
* Reduce lockdir timeout to 0 when running ``bzr serve``. (Andrew Bennetts,
1906
#148087)
1907
1908
* Test that the old ``version_info_format`` functions still work, even
1909
though they are deprecated. (John Arbash Meinel, ShenMaq, #177872)

1925
(Ian Clatworthy)
1926
1927
* Reference material has now be moved out of the User Guide and added
1928
to the User Reference. The User Reference has gained 4 sections as
1929
a result: Authenication Settings, Configuration Settings, Conflicts
1930
and Hooks. All help topics are now dumped into text format in the
1931
doc/en/user-reference directory for those who like browsing that
1932
information in their editor. (Ian Clatworthy)
1933
1934

* get_parent_map now always provides tuples as its output. (Aaron Bentley)
1945
1946
* Parent Providers should now implement ``get_parent_map`` returning a
1947
dictionary instead of ``get_parents`` returning a list.
1948
``Graph.get_parents`` is now deprecated. (John Arbash Meinel,
1949
Robert Collins)
1950

* Patience Diff now supports arbitrary python objects, as long as they
1952
support ``hash()``. (John Arbash Meinel)
1953
1954

TESTING:
1960
1961
* Modules can now customise their tests by defining a ``load_tests``

1963
for the documentation on this attribute. (Robert Collins)
1964
1965
* New helper function ``bzrlib.tests.condition_id_re`` which helps
1966
filter tests based on a regular expression search on the tests id.
1967
(Robert Collins)
1968
1969
* New helper function ``bzrlib.tests.condition_isinstance`` which helps
1970
filter tests based on class. (Robert Collins)
1971

1973
generalises the ``exclude_suite_by_re`` function. (Robert Collins)
1974
1975
* New helper function ``bzrlib.tests.filter_suite_by_condition`` which
1976
generalises the ``filter_suite_by_re`` function. (Robert Collins)
1977
1978
* New helper method ``bzrlib.tests.exclude_tests_by_re`` which gives a new
1979
TestSuite that does not contain tests from the input that matched a
1980
regular expression. (Robert Collins)
1981
1982
* New helper method ``bzrlib.tests.randomize_suite`` which returns a
1983
randomized copy of the input suite. (Robert Collins)
1984

BUGFIXES:
2027
2028
* Fix Makefile rules for doc generation. (Ian Clatworthy, #175207)
2029
2030
* Give more feedback during long http downloads by making readv deliver data
2031
as it arrives for urllib, and issue more requests for pycurl. High latency
2032
networks are better handled by urllib, the pycurl implementation give more
2033
feedback but also incur more latency.
2034
(Vincent Ladeuil, #173010)
2035

IMPROVEMENTS:
2058
2059
* Added a --coverage option to selftest. (Andrew Bennetts)
2060
2061
* Annotate merge (merge-type=weave) now supports cherrypicking.
2062
(Aaron Bentley)
2063
2064
* ``bzr commit`` now doesn't print the revision number twice. (Matt
2065
Nordhoff, #172612)
2066
2067
* New configuration option ``bugtracker_<tracker_abbrevation>_url`` to
2068
define locations of bug trackers that are not directly supported by
2069
bzr or a plugin. The URL will be treated as a template and ``{id}``
2070
placeholders will be replaced by specific bug IDs. (Lukáš Lalinský)
2071
2072
* Support logging single merge revisions with short and line log formatters.
2073
(Kent Gibson)
2074
2075
* User Guide enhanced with suggested readability improvements from
2076
Matt Revell and corrections from John Arbash Meinel. (Ian Clatworthy)
2077
2078
* Quick Start Guide renamed to Quick Start Card, moved down in
2079
the catalog, provided in pdf and png format and updated to refer
2080
to ``send`` instead of ``bundle``. (Ian Clatworthy, #165080)
2081
2082
* ``switch`` can now be used on heavyweight checkouts as well as
2083
lightweight ones. After switching a heavyweight checkout, the
2084
local branch is a mirror/cache of the new bound branch and
2085
uncommitted changes in the working tree are merged. As a safety
2086
check, if there are local commits in a checkout which have not
2087
been committed to the previously bound branch, then ``switch``
2088
fails unless the ``--force`` option is given. This option is
2089
now also required if the branch a lightweight checkout is pointing
2090
to has been moved. (Ian Clatworthy)
2091
2092
INTERNALS:
2093

2105
filename to user.
2106
(Alexander Belchenko, #111758)
2107
2108
* Catch ShortReadvErrors while using pycurl. Also make readv more robust by
2109
allowing multiple GET requests to be issued if too many ranges are
2110
required.
2111
(Vincent Ladeuil, #172701)
2112
2113
* Check for missing basis texts when fetching from packs to packs.
2114
(John Arbash Meinel, #165290)
2115
2116
* Fall back to showing e-mail in ``log --short/--line`` if the
2117
committer/author has only e-mail. (Lukáš Lalinský, #157026)
2118
2119

bzr 1.0rc1 2007-11-30
2126
---------------------
2127
2128
NOTES WHEN UPGRADING:
2129
2130
* The default repository format is now ``pack-0.92``. This
2131
default is used when creating new repositories with ``init`` and
2132
``init-repo``, and when branching over bzr+ssh or bzr+hpss.
2133
(See https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/164626)
2134
2135
This format can be read and written by Bazaar 0.92 and later, and
2136
data can be transferred to and from older formats.
2137
2138
To upgrade, please reconcile your repository (``bzr reconcile``), and then
2139
upgrade (``bzr upgrade``).
2140
2141
``pack-0.92`` offers substantially better scaling and performance than the
2142
previous knits format. Some operations are slower where the code already
2143
had bad scaling characteristics under knits, the pack format makes such
2144
operations more visible as part of being more scalable overall. We will
2145
correct such operations over the coming releases and encourage the filing
2146
of bugs on any operation which you observe to be slower in a packs
2147
repository. One particular case that we do not intend to fix is pulling
2148
data from a pack repository into a knit repository over a high latency
2149
link; downgrading such data requires reinsertion of the file texts, and
2150
this is a classic space/time tradeoff. The current implementation is
2151
conservative on memory usage because we need to support converting data
2152
from any tree without problems.
2153
(Robert Collins, Martin Pool, #164476)
2154
2155
CHANGES:
2156
2157
* Disable detection of plink.exe as possible ssh vendor. Plink vendor
2158
still available if user selects it explicitly with BZR_SSH environment
2159
variable. (Alexander Belchenko, workaround for bug #107593)
2160
2161
* The pack format is now accessible as "pack-0.92", or "pack-0.92-subtree"
2162
to enable the subtree functions (for example, for bzr-svn).
2163
See http://doc.bazaar-vcs.org/latest/developer/packrepo.html
2164
(Martin Pool)
2165
2166
FEATURES:
2167
2168
* New ``authentication.conf`` file holding the password or other credentials
2169
for remote servers. This can be used for ssh, sftp, smtp and other
2170
supported transports.
2171
(Vincent Ladeuil)
2172
2173
* New rich-root and rich-root-pack formats, recording the same data about
2174
tree roots that's recorded for all other directories.
2175
(Aaron Bentley, #164639)
2176
2177
* ``pack-0.92`` repositories can now be reconciled.
2178
(Robert Collins, #154173)
2179
2180
* ``switch`` command added for changing the branch a lightweight checkout
2181
is associated with and updating the tree to reflect the latest content
2182
accordingly. This command was previously part of the BzrTools plug-in.
2183
(Ian Clatworthy, Aaron Bentley, David Allouche)
2184
2185
* ``reconfigure`` command can now convert branches, trees, or checkouts to
2186
lightweight checkouts. (Aaron Bentley)
2187
2188
PERFORMANCE:
2189
2190
* Commit updates the state of the working tree via a delta rather than
2191
supplying entirely new basis trees. For commit of a single specified file
2192
this reduces the wall clock time for commit by roughly a 30%.
2193
(Robert Collins, Martin Pool)
2194
2195
* Commit with many automatically found deleted paths no longer performs
2196
linear scanning for the children of those paths during inventory
2197
iteration. This should fix commit performance blowing out when many such
2198
paths occur during commit. (Robert Collins, #156491)
2199
2200
* Fetch with pack repositories will no longer read the entire history graph.
2201
(Robert Collins, #88319)
2202
2203
* Revert takes out an appropriate lock when reverting to a basis tree, and
2204
does not read the basis inventory twice. (Robert Collins)
2205
2206
* Diff does not require an inventory to be generated on dirstate trees.
2207
(Aaron Bentley, #149254)
2208
2209
* New annotate merge (--merge-type=weave) implementation is fast on
2210
versionedfiles withough cached annotations, e.g. pack-0.92.
2211
(Aaron Bentley)
2212
2213
IMPROVEMENTS:
2214
2215
* ``bzr merge`` now warns when it encounters a criss-cross merge.
2216
(Aaron Bentley)
2217
2218
* ``bzr send`` now doesn't require the target e-mail address to be
2219
specified on the command line if an interactive e-mail client is used.
2220
(Lukáš Lalinský)
2221
2222
* ``bzr tags`` now prints the revision number for each tag, instead of
2223
the revision id, unless --show-ids is passed. In addition, tags can be
2224
sorted chronologically instead of lexicographically with --sort=time.
2225
(Adeodato Simó, #120231)
2226
2227
* Windows standalone version of bzr is able to load system-wide plugins from
2228
"plugins" subdirectory in installation directory. In addition standalone
2229
installer write to the registry (HKLM\SOFTWARE\Bazaar) useful info
2230
about paths and bzr version. (Alexander Belchenko, #129298)

format. (Andrew Bennetts, #164626)
2241
2242
* ``commit`` is now able to invoke an external editor in a non-ascii
2243
directory. (Daniel Watkins, #84043)
2244
2245
* Catch connection errors for ftp.
2246
(Vincent Ladeuil, #164567)
2247
2248
* ``check`` no longer reports spurious unreferenced text versions.
2249
(Robert Collins, John A Meinel, #162931, #165071)
2250
2251
* Conflicts are now resolved recursively by ``revert``.

2261
(Vincent Ladeuil, #158972).

formatter doesn't support merge revisions. (Kent Gibson, #148908)
2272
2273
* Fix exception when ScopeReplacer is assigned to before any members have
2274
been retrieved. (Aaron Bentley)
2275
2276
* Fix multiple connections during checkout --lightweight.
2277
(Vincent Ladeuil, #159150)
2278
2279
* Fix possible error in insert_data_stream when copying between
2280
pack repositories over bzr+ssh or bzr+http.
2281
KnitVersionedFile.get_data_stream now makes sure that requested
2282
compression parents are sent before any delta hunks that depend
2283
on them.
2284
(Martin Pool, #164637)
2285
2286

2287
whole files being downloaded instead of parts.
2288
(Vincent Ladeuil, #165061)

2290
* FTP server errors don't error in the error handling code.
2291
(Robert Collins, #161240)
2292
2293
* Give a clearer message when a pull fails because the source needs
2294
to be reconciled.
2295
(Martin Pool, #164443)
2296
2297
* It is clearer when a plugin cannot be loaded because of its name, and a
2298
suggestion for an acceptable name is given. (Daniel Watkins, #103023)
2299
2300
* Leave port as None in transport objects if user doesn't
2301
specify a port in urls.
2302
(vincent Ladeuil, #150860)
2303
2304

2305
Repository implementations. (John Arbash Meinel, #158333)
2306
2307
* Mark .bzr directories as "hidden" on Windows.

(Kent Gibson, #133751)
2333
2334
* Return error instead of a traceback when bzr is unable to create
2335
symlink on some platforms (e.g. on Windows).
2336
(Alexander Belchenko, workaround for #81689)
2337
2338
* Revert doesn't crash when restoring a single file from a deleted
2339
directory. (Aaron Bentley)
2340
2341
* Stderr output via logging mechanism now goes through encoded wrapper
2342
and no more uses utf-8, but terminal encoding instead. So all unicode
2343
strings now should be readable in non-utf-8 terminal.
2344
(Alexander Belchenko, #54173)
2345
2346
* The error message when ``move --after`` should be used makes how to do so
2347
clearer. (Daniel Watkins, #85237)
2348
2349
* Unicode-safe output from ``bzr info``. The output will be encoded
2350
using the terminal encoding and unrepresentable characters will be
2351
replaced by '?'. (Lukáš Lalinský, #151844)
2352
2353
* Working trees are no longer created when pushing into a local no-trees
2354
repo. (Daniel Watkins, #50582)
2355
2356
* Upgrade util/configobj to version 4.4.0.
2357
(Vincent Ladeuil, #151208).
2358
2359
* Wrap medusa ftp test server as an FTPServer feature.
2360
(Vincent Ladeuil, #157752)
2361
2362
API BREAKS:
2363
2364
* ``osutils.backup_file`` is deprecated. Actually it's not used in bzrlib
2365
during very long time. (Alexander Belchenko)
2366
2367
* The return value of
2368
``VersionedFile.iter_lines_added_or_present_in_versions`` has been
2369
changed. Previously it was an iterator of lines, now it is an iterator of
2370
(line, version_id) tuples. This change has been made to aid reconcile and
2371
fetch operations. (Robert Collins)
2372
2373
* ``bzrlib.repository.get_versioned_file_checker`` is now private.
2374
(Robert Collins)
2375
2376
* The Repository format registry default has been removed; it was previously
2377
obsoleted by the bzrdir format default, which implies a default repository
2378
format.
2379
(Martin Pool)
2380
2381
INTERNALS:
2382
2383
* Added ``ContainerSerialiser`` and ``ContainerPushParser`` to
2384
``bzrlib.pack``. These classes provide more convenient APIs for generating
2385
and parsing containers from streams rather than from files. (Andrew
2386
Bennetts)
2387
2388
* New module ``lru_cache`` providing a cache for use by tasks that need
2389
semi-random access to large amounts of data. (John A Meinel)
2390
2391
* InventoryEntry.diff is now deprecated. Please use diff.DiffTree instead.

2407
NOTES WHEN UPGRADING:
2408
2409
CHANGES:
2410
2411
* ``bzr`` now returns exit code 4 if an internal error occurred, and
2412
3 if a normal error occurred. (Martin Pool)
2413
2414
* ``pull``, ``merge`` and ``push`` will no longer silently correct some
2415
repository index errors that occured as a result of the Weave disk format.
2416
Instead the ``reconcile`` command needs to be run to correct those
2417
problems if they exist (and it has been able to fix most such problems
2418
since bzr 0.8). Some new problems have been identified during this release
2419
and you should run ``bzr check`` once on every repository to see if you
2420
need to reconcile. If you cannot ``pull`` or ``merge`` from a remote
2421
repository due to mismatched parent errors - a symptom of index errors -
2422
you should simply take a full copy of that remote repository to a clean
2423
directory outside any local repositories, then run reconcile on it, and
2424
finally pull from it locally. (And naturally email the repositories owner
2425
to ask them to upgrade and run reconcile).
2426
(Robert Collins)
2427
2428
FEATURES:
2429
2430
* New ``knitpack-experimental`` repository format. This is interoperable with
2431
the ``dirstate-tags`` format but uses a smarter storage design that greatly
2432
speeds up many operations, both local and remote. This new format can be
2433
used as an option to the ``init``, ``init-repository`` and ``upgrade``
2434
commands. See http://doc.bazaar-vcs.org/0.92/developers/knitpack.html
2435
for further details. (Robert Collins)
2436
2437
* For users of bzr-svn (and those testing the prototype subtree support) that
2438
wish to try packs, a new ``knitpack-subtree-experimental`` format has also
2439
been added. This is interoperable with the ``dirstate-subtrees`` format.
2440
(Robert Collins)
2441
2442
* New ``reconfigure`` command. (Aaron Bentley)
2443
2444
* New ``revert --forget-merges`` command, which removes the record of a pending
2445
merge without affecting the working tree contents. (Martin Pool)
2446
2447
* New ``bzr_remote_path`` configuration variable allows finer control of
2448
remote bzr locations than BZR_REMOTE_PATH environment variable.
2449
(Aaron Bentley)
2450
2451
* New ``launchpad-login`` command to tell Bazaar your Launchpad
2452
user ID. This can then be used by other functions of the
2453
Launchpad plugin. (James Henstridge)
2454
2455
PERFORMANCE:
2456
2457
* Commit in quiet mode is now slightly faster as the information to
2458
output is no longer calculated. (Ian Clatworthy)
2459
2460
* Commit no longer checks for new text keys during insertion when the
2461
revision id was deterministically unique. (Robert Collins)
2462
2463
* Committing a change which is not a merge and does not change the number of
2464
files in the tree is faster by utilising the data about whether files are
2465
changed to determine if the tree is unchanged rather than recalculating
2466
it at the end of the commit process. (Robert Collins)
2467
2468
* Inventory serialisation no longer double-sha's the content.
2469
(Robert Collins)
2470
2471
* Knit text reconstruction now avoids making copies of the lines list for
2472
interim texts when building a single text. The new ``apply_delta`` method
2473
on ``KnitContent`` aids this by allowing modification of the revision id
2474
such objects represent. (Robert Collins)
2475
2476
* Pack indices are now partially parsed for specific key lookup using a
2477
bisection approach. (Robert Collins)
2478
2479
* Partial commits are now approximately 40% faster by walking over the
2480
unselected current tree more efficiently. (Robert Collins)
2481
2482
* XML inventory serialisation takes 20% less time while being stricter about
2483
the contents. (Robert Collins)
2484
2485
* Graph ``heads()`` queries have been fixed to no longer access all history
2486
unnecessarily. (Robert Collins)
2487
2488
IMPROVEMENTS:
2489
2490
* ``bzr+https://`` smart server across https now supported.
2491
(John Ferlito, Martin Pool, #128456)
2492
2493
* Mutt is now a supported mail client; set ``mail_client=mutt`` in your
2494
bazaar.conf and ``send`` will use mutt. (Keir Mierle)
2495
2496
* New option ``-c``/``--change`` for ``merge`` command for cherrypicking
2497
changes from one revision. (Alexander Belchenko, #141368)
2498
2499
* Show encodings, locale and list of plugins in the traceback message.
2500
(Martin Pool, #63894)
2501
2502
* Experimental directory formats can now be marked with
2503
``experimental = True`` during registration. (Ian Clatworthy)
2504
2505
DOCUMENTATION:
2506
2507
* New *Bazaar in Five Minutes* guide. (Matthew Revell)
2508
2509
* The hooks reference documentation is now converted to html as expected.
2510
(Ian Clatworthy)
2511
2512
BUG FIXES:
2513
2514
* Connection error reporting for the smart server has been fixed to
2515
display a user friendly message instead of a traceback.
2516
(Ian Clatworthy, #115601)
2517
2518
* Make sure to use ``O_BINARY`` when opening files to check their
2519
sha1sum. (Alexander Belchenko, John Arbash Meinel, #153493)
2520
2521
* Fix a problem with Win32 handling of the executable bit.
2522
(John Arbash Meinel, #149113)
2523
2524
* ``bzr+ssh://`` and ``sftp://`` URLs that do not specify ports explicitly
2525
no longer assume that means port 22. This allows people using OpenSSH to
2526
override the default port in their ``~/.ssh/config`` if they wish. This
2527
fixes a bug introduced in bzr 0.91. (Andrew Bennetts, #146715)
2528
2529
* Commands reporting exceptions can now be profiled and still have their
2530
data correctly dumped to a file. For example, a ``bzr commit`` with
2531
no changes still reports the operation as pointless but doing so no
2532
longer throws away the profiling data if this command is run with
2533
``--lsprof-file callgrind.out.ci`` say. (Ian Clatworthy)
2534
2535
* Fallback to ftp when paramiko is not installed and sftp can't be used for
2536
``tests/commands`` so that the test suite is still usable without
2537
paramiko.
2538
(Vincent Ladeuil, #59150)
2539
2540
* Fix commit ordering in corner case. (Aaron Bentley, #94975)
2541
2542
* Fix long standing bug in partial commit when there are renames
2543
left in tree. (Robert Collins, #140419)
2544
2545
* Fix selftest semi-random noise during http related tests.
2546
(Vincent Ladeuil, #140614)
2547
2548
* Fix typo in ftp.py making the reconnection fail on temporary errors.
2549
(Vincent Ladeuil, #154259)
2550
2551
* Fix failing test by comparing real paths to cover the case where the TMPDIR
2552
contains a symbolic link.
2553
(Vincent Ladeuil, #141382).
2554
2555
* Fix log against smart server branches that don't support tags.
2556
(James Westby, #140615)
2557
2558
* Fix pycurl http implementation by defining error codes from
2559
pycurl instead of relying on an old curl definition.
2560
(Vincent Ladeuil, #147530)
2561
2562
* Fix 'unprintable error' message when displaying BzrCheckError and
2563
some other exceptions on Python 2.5.
2564
(Martin Pool, #144633)
2565
2566
* Fix ``Inventory.copy()`` and add test for it. (Jelmer Vernooij)
2567
2568
* Handles default value for ListOption in cmd_commit.
2569
(Vincent Ladeuil, #140432)
2570
2571
* HttpServer and FtpServer need to be closed properly or a listening socket
2572
will remain opened.
2573
(Vincent Ladeuil, #140055)
2574
2575
* Monitor the .bzr directory created in the top level test
2576
directory to detect leaking tests.
2577
(Vincent Ladeuil, #147986)
2578
2579
* The basename, not the full path, is now used when checking whether
2580
the profiling dump file begins with ``callgrind.out`` or not. This
2581
fixes a bug reported by Aaron Bentley on IRC. (Ian Clatworthy)
2582
2583
* Trivial fix for invoking command ``reconfigure`` without arguments.
2584
(Rob Weir, #141629)
2585
2586
* ``WorkingTree.rename_one`` will now raise an error if normalisation of the
2587
new path causes bzr to be unable to access the file. (Robert Collins)
2588
2589
* Correctly detect a NoSuchFile when using a filezilla server. (Gary van der
2590
Merwe)
2591
2592
API BREAKS:
2593
2594
* ``bzrlib.index.GraphIndex`` now requires a size parameter to the
2595
constructor, for enabling bisection searches. (Robert Collins)
2596
2597
* ``CommitBuilder.record_entry_contents`` now requires the root entry of a
2598
tree be supplied to it, previously failing to do so would trigger a
2599
deprecation warning. (Robert Collins)
2600
2601
* ``KnitVersionedFile.add*`` will no longer cache added records even when
2602
enable_cache() has been called - the caching feature is now exclusively for
2603
reading existing data. (Robert Collins)
2604
2605
* ``ReadOnlyLockError`` is deprecated; ``LockFailed`` is usually more
2606
appropriate. (Martin Pool)
2607
2608
* Removed ``bzrlib.transport.TransportLogger`` - please see the new
2609
``trace+`` transport instead. (Robert Collins)
2610
2611
* Removed previously deprecated varargs interface to ``TestCase.run_bzr`` and
2612
deprecated methods ``TestCase.capture`` and ``TestCase.run_bzr_captured``.
2613
(Martin Pool)
2614
2615
* Removed previous deprecated ``basis_knit`` parameter to the
2616
``KnitVersionedFile`` constructor. (Robert Collins)
2617
2618
* Special purpose method ``TestCase.run_bzr_decode`` is moved to the test_non_ascii
2619
class that needs it.
2620
(Martin Pool)
2621
2622
* The class ``bzrlib.repofmt.knitrepo.KnitRepository3`` has been folded into
2623
``KnitRepository`` by parameters to the constructor. (Robert Collins)
2624
2625
* The ``VersionedFile`` interface now allows content checks to be bypassed
2626
by supplying check_content=False. This saves nearly 30% of the minimum
2627
cost to store a version of a file. (Robert Collins)
2628
2629
* Tree's with bad state such as files with no length or sha will no longer
2630
be silently accepted by the repository XML serialiser. To serialise
2631
inventories without such data, pass working=True to write_inventory.
2632
(Robert Collins)
2633
2634
* ``VersionedFile.fix_parents`` has been removed as a harmful API.
2635
``VersionedFile.join`` will no longer accept different parents on either
2636
side of a join - it will either ignore them, or error, depending on the
2637
implementation. See notes when upgrading for more information.
2638
(Robert Collins)
2639
2640
INTERNALS:
2641
2642
* ``bzrlib.transport.Transport.put_file`` now returns the number of bytes
2643
put by the method call, to allow avoiding stat-after-write or
2644
housekeeping in callers. (Robert Collins)
2645
2646
* ``bzrlib.xml_serializer.Serializer`` is now responsible for checking that
2647
mandatory attributes are present on serialisation and deserialisation.
2648
This fixes some holes in API usage and allows better separation between
2649
physical storage and object serialisation. (Robert Collins)
2650
2651
* New class ``bzrlib.errors.InternalBzrError`` which is just a convenient
2652
shorthand for deriving from BzrError and setting internal_error = True.
2653
(Robert Collins)
2654
2655
* New method ``bzrlib.mutabletree.update_to_one_parent_via_delta`` for
2656
moving the state of a parent tree to a new version via a delta rather than
2657
a complete replacement tree. (Robert Collins)
2658
2659
* New method ``bzrlib.osutils.minimum_path_selection`` useful for removing
2660
duplication from user input, when a user mentions both a path and an item
2661
contained within that path. (Robert Collins)
2662
2663
* New method ``bzrlib.repository.Repository.is_write_locked`` useful for
2664
determining if a repository is write locked. (Robert Collins)
2665
2666
* New method on ``bzrlib.tree.Tree`` ``path_content_summary`` provides a
2667
tuple containing the key information about a path for commit processing
2668
to complete. (Robert Collins)
2669
2670
* New method on xml serialisers, write_inventory_to_lines, which matches the
2671
API used by knits for adding content. (Robert Collins)
2672
2673
* New module ``bzrlib.bisect_multi`` with generic multiple-bisection-at-once
2674
logic, currently only available for byte-based lookup
2675
(``bisect_multi_bytes``). (Robert Collins)
2676
2677
* New helper ``bzrlib.tuned_gzip.bytes_to_gzip`` which takes a byte string
2678
and returns a gzipped version of the same. This is used to avoid a bunch
2679
of api friction during adding of knit hunks. (Robert Collins)
2680
2681
* New parameter on ``bzrlib.transport.Transport.readv``
2682
``adjust_for_latency`` which changes readv from returning strictly the
2683
requested data to inserted return larger ranges and in forward read order
2684
to reduce the effect of network latency. (Robert Collins)
2685
2686
* New parameter yield_parents on ``Inventory.iter_entries_by_dir`` which
2687
causes the parents of a selected id to be returned recursively, so all the
2688
paths from the root down to each element of selected_file_ids are
2689
returned. (Robert Collins)
2690
2691
* Knit joining has been enhanced to support plain to annotated conversion
2692
and annotated to plain conversion. (Ian Clatworthy)
2693
2694
* The CommitBuilder method ``record_entry_contents`` now returns summary
2695
information about the effect of the commit on the repository. This tuple
2696
contains an inventory delta item if the entry changed from the basis, and a
2697
boolean indicating whether a new file graph node was recorded.
2698
(Robert Collins)
2699
2700
* The python path used in the Makefile can now be overridden.
2701
(Andrew Bennetts, Ian Clatworthy)
2702
2703
TESTING:
2704
2705
* New transport implementation ``trace+`` which is useful for testing,
2706
logging activity taken to its _activity attribute. (Robert Collins)
2707
2708
* When running bzr commands within the test suite, internal exceptions are
2709
not caught and reported in the usual way, but rather allowed to propagate
2710
up and be visible to the test suite. A new API ``run_bzr_catch_user_errors``
2711
makes this behavior available to other users.
2712
(Martin Pool)
2713
2714
* New method ``TestCase.call_catch_warnings`` for testing methods that
2715
raises a Python warning. (Martin Pool)
2716
2717
2718
bzr 0.91 2007-09-26
2719
-------------------
2720
2721
BUG FIXES:
2722
2723
* Print a warning instead of aborting the ``python setup.py install``
2724
process if building of a C extension is not possible.
2725
(Lukáš Lalinský, Alexander Belchenko)
2726
2727
* Fix commit ordering in corner case (Aaron Bentley, #94975)
2728
2729
* Fix ''bzr info bzr://host/'' and other operations on ''bzr://' URLs with
2730
an implicit port. We were incorrectly raising PathNotChild due to
2731
inconsistent treatment of the ''_port'' attribute on the Transport object.
2732
(Andrew Bennetts, #133965)
2733
2734
* Make RemoteRepository.sprout cope gracefully with servers that don't
2735
support the ``Repository.tarball`` request.
2736
(Andrew Bennetts)
2737
2738
2739
bzr 0.91rc2 2007-09-11
2740
----------------------
2741
2742
* Replaced incorrect tarball for previous release; a debug statement was left
2743
in bzrlib/remote.py.
2744
2745
2746
bzr 0.91rc1 2007-09-11
2747
----------------------
2748
2749
CHANGES:
2750
2751
* The default branch and repository format has changed to
2752
``dirstate-tags``, so tag commands are active by default.
2753
This format is compatible with Bazaar 0.15 and later.
2754
This incidentally fixes bug #126141.
2755
(Martin Pool)
2756
2757
* ``--quiet`` or ``-q`` is no longer a global option. If present, it
2758
must now appear after the command name. Scripts doing things like
2759
``bzr -q missing`` need to be rewritten as ``bzr missing -q``.
2760
(Ian Clatworthy)
2761
2762
FEATURES:
2763
2764
* New option ``--author`` in ``bzr commit`` to specify the author of the
2765
change, if it's different from the committer. ``bzr log`` and
2766
``bzr annotate`` display the author instead of the committer.
2767
(Lukáš Lalinský)
2768
2769
* In addition to global options and command specific options, a set of
2770
standard options are now supported. Standard options are legal for
2771
all commands. The initial set of standard options are:
2772
2773
* ``--help`` or ``-h`` - display help message
2774
* ``--verbose`` or ``-v`` - display additional information
2775
* ``--quiet`` or ``-q`` - only output warnings and errors.
2776
2777
Unlike global options, standard options can be used in aliases and
2778
may have command-specific help. (Ian Clatworthy)
2779
2780
* Verbosity level processing has now been unified. If ``--verbose``
2781
or ``-v`` is specified on the command line multiple times, the
2782
verbosity level is made positive the first time then increased.
2783
If ``--quiet`` or ``-q`` is specified on the command line
2784
multiple times, the verbosity level is made negative the first
2785
time then decreased. To get the default verbosity level of zero,
2786
either specify none of the above , ``--no-verbose`` or ``--no-quiet``.
2787
Note that most commands currently ignore the magnitude of the
2788
verbosity level but do respect *quiet vs normal vs verbose* when
2789
generating output. (Ian Clatworthy)
2790
2791
* ``Branch.hooks`` now supports ``pre_commit`` hook. The hook's signature
2792
is documented in BranchHooks constructor. (Nam T. Nguyen, #102747)
2793
2794
* New ``Repository.stream_knit_data_for_revisions`` request added to the
2795
network protocol for greatly reduced roundtrips when retrieving a set of
2796
revisions. (Andrew Bennetts)
2797
2798
BUG FIXES:
2799
2800
* ``bzr plugins`` now lists the version number for each plugin in square
2801
brackets after the path. (Robert Collins, #125421)
2802
2803
* Pushing, pulling and branching branches with subtree references was not
2804
copying the subtree weave, preventing the file graph from being accessed
2805
and causing errors in commits in clones. (Robert Collins)
2806
2807
* Suppress warning "integer argument expected, got float" from Paramiko,
2808
which sometimes caused false test failures. (Martin Pool)
2809
2810
* Fix bug in bundle 4 that could cause attempts to write data to wrong
2811
versionedfile. (Aaron Bentley)
2812
2813
* Diffs generated using "diff -p" no longer break the patch parser.
2814
(Aaron Bentley)
2815
2816
* get_transport treats an empty possible_transports list the same as a non-
2817
empty one. (Aaron Bentley)
2818
2819
* patch verification for merge directives is reactivated, and works with
2820
CRLF and CR files. (Aaron Bentley)
2821
2822
* Accept ..\ as a path in revision specifiers. This fixes for example
2823
"-r branch:..\other-branch" on Windows. (Lukáš Lalinský)
2824
2825
* ``BZR_PLUGIN_PATH`` may now contain trailing slashes.
2826
(Blake Winton, #129299)
2827
2828
* man page no longer lists hidden options (#131667, Aaron Bentley)
2829
2830
* ``uncommit --help`` now explains the -r option adequately. (Daniel
2831
Watkins, #106726)
2832
2833
* Error messages are now better formatted with parameters (such as
2834
filenames) quoted when necessary. This avoids confusion when directory
2835
names ending in a '.' at the end of messages were confused with a
2836
full stop that may or not have been there. (Daniel Watkins, #129791)
2837
2838
* Fix ``status FILE -r X..Y``. (Lukáš Lalinský)
2839
2840
* If a particular command is an alias, ``help`` will show the alias
2841
instead of claiming there is no help for said alias. (Daniel Watkins,
2842
#133548)
2843
2844
* TreeTransform-based operations, like pull, merge, revert, and branch,
2845
now roll back if they encounter an error. (Aaron Bentley, #67699)
2846
2847
* ``bzr commit`` now exits cleanly if a character unsupported by the
2848
current encoding is used in the commit message. (Daniel Watkins,
2849
#116143)
2850
2851
* bzr send uses default values for ranges when only half of an elipsis
2852
is specified ("-r..5" or "-r5.."). (#61685, Aaron Bentley)
2853
2854
* Avoid trouble when Windows ssh calls itself 'plink' but no plink
2855
binary is present. (Martin Albisetti, #107155)
2856
2857
* ``bzr remove`` should remove clean subtrees. Now it will remove (without
2858
needing ``--force``) subtrees that contain no files with text changes or
2859
modified files. With ``--force`` it removes the subtree regardless of
2860
text changes or unknown files. Directories with renames in or out (but
2861
not changed otherwise) will now be removed without needing ``--force``.
2862
Unknown ignored files will be deleted without needing ``--force``.
2863
(Marius Kruger, #111665)
2864
2865
* When two plugins conflict, the source of both the losing and now the
2866
winning definition is shown. (Konstantin Mikhaylov, #5454)
2867
2868
* When committing to a branch, the location being committed to is
2869
displayed. (Daniel Watkins, #52479)
2870
2871
* ``bzr --version`` takes care about encoding of stdout, especially
2872
when output is redirected. (Alexander Belchenko, #131100)
2873
2874
* Prompt for an ftp password if none is provided.
2875
(Vincent Ladeuil, #137044)
2876
2877
* Reuse bound branch associated transport to avoid multiple
2878
connections.
2879
(Vincent Ladeuil, #128076, #131396)
2880
2881
* Overwrite conflicting tags by ``push`` and ``pull`` if the
2882
``--overwrite`` option is specified. (Lukáš Lalinský, #93947)
2883
2884
* In checkouts, tags are copied into the master branch when created,
2885
changed or deleted, and are copied into the checkout when it is
2886
updated. (Martin Pool, #93856, #93860)
2887
2888
* Print a warning instead of aborting the ``python setup.py install``
2889
process if building of a C extension is not possible.
2890
(Lukáš Lalinský, Alexander Belchenko)
2891
2892
IMPROVEMENTS:
2893
2894
* Add the option "--show-diff" to the commit command in order to display
2895
the diff during the commit log creation. (Goffredo Baroncelli)
2896
2897
* ``pull`` and ``merge`` are much faster at installing bundle format 4.
2898
(Aaron Bentley)
2899
2900
* ``pull -v`` no longer includes deltas, making it much faster.
2901
(Aaron Bentley)
2902
2903
* ``send`` now sends the directive as an attachment by default.
2904
(Aaron Bentley, Lukáš Lalinský, Alexander Belchenko)
2905
2906
* Documentation updates (Martin Albisetti)
2907
2908
* Help on debug flags is now included in ``help global-options``.
2909
(Daniel Watkins, #124853)
2910
2911
* Parameters passed on the command line are checked to ensure they are
2912
supported by the encoding in use. (Daniel Watkins)
2913
2914
* The compression used within the bzr repository has changed from zlib
2915
level 9 to the zlib default level. This improves commit performance with
2916
only a small increase in space used (and in some cases a reduction in
2917
space). (Robert Collins)
2918
2919
* Initial commit no longer SHAs files twice and now reuses the path
2920
rather than looking it up again, making it faster.
2921
(Ian Clatworthy)
2922
2923
* New option ``-c``/``--change`` for ``diff`` and ``status`` to show
2924
changes in one revision. (Lukáš Lalinský)
2925
2926
* If versioned files match a given ignore pattern, a warning is now
2927
given. (Daniel Watkins, #48623)
2928
2929
* ``bzr status`` now has -S as a short name for --short and -V as a
2930
short name for --versioned. These have been added to assist users
2931
migrating from Subversion: ``bzr status -SV`` is now like
2932
``svn status -q``. (Daniel Watkins, #115990)
2933
2934
* Added C implementation of ``PatienceSequenceMatcher``, which is about
2935
10x faster than the Python version. This speeds up commands that
2936
need file diffing, such as ``bzr commit`` or ``bzr diff``.
2937
(Lukáš Lalinský)
2938
2939
* HACKING has been extended with a large section on core developer tasks.
2940
(Ian Clatworthy)
2941
2942
* Add ``branches`` and ``standalone-trees`` as online help topics and
2943
include them as Concepts within the User Reference.
2944
(Paul Moore, Ian Clatworthy)
2945
2946
* ``check`` can detect versionedfile parent references that are
2947
inconsistent with revision and inventory info, and ``reconcile`` can fix
2948
them. These faulty references were generated by 0.8-era releases,
2949
so repositories which were manipulated by old bzrs should be
2950
checked, and possibly reconciled ASAP. (Aaron Bentley, Andrew Bennetts)
2951
2952
API BREAKS:
2953
2954
* ``Branch.append_revision`` is removed altogether; please use
2955
``Branch.set_last_revision_info`` instead. (Martin Pool)
2956
2957
* CommitBuilder now advertises itself as requiring the root entry to be
2958
supplied. This only affects foreign repository implementations which reuse
2959
CommitBuilder directly and have changed record_entry_contents to require
2960
that the root not be supplied. This should be precisely zero plugins
2961
affected. (Robert Collins)
2962
2963
* The ``add_lines`` methods on ``VersionedFile`` implementations has changed
2964
its return value to include the sha1 and length of the inserted text. This
2965
allows the avoidance of double-sha1 calculations during commit.
2966
(Robert Collins)
2967
2968
* ``Transport.should_cache`` has been removed. It was not called in the
2969
previous release. (Martin Pool)
2970
2971
TESTING:
2972
2973
* Tests may now raise TestNotApplicable to indicate they shouldn't be
2974
run in a particular scenario. (Martin Pool)
2975
2976
* New function multiply_tests_from_modules to give a simpler interface
2977
to test parameterization. (Martin Pool, Robert Collins)
2978
2979
* ``Transport.should_cache`` has been removed. It was not called in the
2980
previous release. (Martin Pool)
2981
2982
* NULL_REVISION is returned to indicate the null revision, not None.
2983
(Aaron Bentley)
2984
2985
* Use UTF-8 encoded StringIO for log tests to avoid failures on
2986
non-ASCII committer names. (Lukáš Lalinský)
2987
2988
INTERNALS:
2989
2990
* ``bzrlib.plugin.all_plugins`` has been deprecated in favour of
2991
``bzrlib.plugin.plugins()`` which returns PlugIn objects that provide
2992
useful functionality for determining the path of a plugin, its tests, and
2993
its version information. (Robert Collins)
2994
2995
* Add the option user_encoding to the function 'show_diff_trees()'
2996
in order to move the user encoding at the UI level. (Goffredo Baroncelli)
2997
2998
* Add the function make_commit_message_template_encoded() and the function
2999
edit_commit_message_encoded() which handle encoded strings.
3000
This is done in order to mix the commit messages (which is a unicode
3001
string), and the diff which is a raw string. (Goffredo Baroncelli)
3002
3003
* CommitBuilder now defaults to using add_lines_with_ghosts, reducing
3004
overhead on non-weave repositories which don't require all parents to be
3005
present. (Robert Collins)
3006
3007
* Deprecated method ``find_previous_heads`` on
3008
``bzrlib.inventory.InventoryEntry``. This has been superseded by the use
3009
of ``parent_candidates`` and a separate heads check via the repository
3010
API. (Robert Collins)
3011
3012
* New trace function ``mutter_callsite`` will print out a subset of the
3013
stack to the log, which can be useful for gathering debug details.
3014
(Robert Collins)
3015
3016
* ``bzrlib.pack.ContainerWriter`` now tracks how many records have been
3017
added via a public attribute records_written. (Robert Collins)
3018
3019
* New method ``bzrlib.transport.Transport.get_recommended_page_size``.
3020
This provides a hint to users of transports as to the reasonable
3021
minimum data to read. In principle this can take latency and
3022
bandwidth into account on a per-connection basis, but for now it
3023
just has hard coded values based on the url. (e.g. http:// has a large
3024
page size, file:// has a small one.) (Robert Collins)
3025
3026
* New method on ``bzrlib.transport.Transport`` ``open_write_stream`` allows
3027
incremental addition of data to a file without requiring that all the
3028
data be buffered in memory. (Robert Collins)
3029
3030
* New methods on ``bzrlib.knit.KnitVersionedFile``:
3031
``get_data_stream(versions)``, ``insert_data_stream(stream)`` and
3032
``get_format_signature()``. These provide some infrastructure for
3033
efficiently streaming the knit data for a set of versions over the smart
3034
protocol.
3035
3036
* Knits with no annotation cache still produce correct annotations.
3037
(Aaron Bentley)
3038
3039
* Three new methods have been added to ``bzrlib.trace``:
3040
``set_verbosity_level``, ``get_verbosity_level`` and ``is_verbose``.
3041
``set_verbosity_level`` expects a numeric value: negative for quiet,
3042
zero for normal, positive for verbose. The size of the number can be
3043
used to determine just how quiet or verbose the application should be.
3044
The existing ``be_quiet`` and ``is_quiet`` routines have been
3045
integrated into this new scheme. (Ian Clatworthy)
3046
3047
* Options can now be delcared with a ``custom_callback`` parameter. If
3048
set, this routine is called after the option is processed. This feature
3049
is now used by the standard options ``verbose`` and ``quiet`` so that
3050
setting one implicitly resets the other. (Ian Clatworthy)
3051
3052
* Rather than declaring a new option from scratch in order to provide
3053
custom help, a centrally registered option can be decorated using the
3054
new ``bzrlib.Option.custom_help`` routine. In particular, this routine
3055
is useful when declaring better help for the ``verbose`` and ``quiet``
3056
standard options as the base definition of these is now more complex
3057
than before thanks to their use of a custom callback. (Ian Clatworthy)
3058
3059
* Tree._iter_changes(specific_file=[]) now iterates through no files,
3060
instead of iterating through all files. None is used to iterate through
3061
all files. (Aaron Bentley)
3062
3063
* WorkingTree.revert() now accepts None to revert all files. The use of
3064
[] to revert all files is deprecated. (Aaron Bentley)
3065
3066
3067
bzr 0.90 2007-08-28
3068
-------------------
3069
3070
IMPROVEMENTS:
3071
3072
* Documentation is now organized into multiple directories with a level
3073
added for different languages or locales. Added the Mini Tutorial
3074
and Quick Start Summary (en) documents from the Wiki, improving the
3075
content and readability of the former. Formatted NEWS as Release Notes
3076
complete with a Table of Conents, one heading per release. Moved the
3077
Developer Guide into the main document catalog and provided a link
3078
from the developer document catalog back to the main one.
3079
(Ian Clatworthy, Sabin Iacob, Alexander Belchenko)
3080
3081
3082
API CHANGES:
3083
3084
* The static convenience method ``BzrDir.create_repository``
3085
is deprecated. Callers should instead create a ``BzrDir`` instance
3086
and call ``create_repository`` on that. (Martin Pool)
3087
3088
3089
bzr 0.90rc1 2007-08-14
3090
----------------------
3091
3092
BUGFIXES:
3093
3094
* ``bzr init`` should connect to the remote location one time only. We
3095
have been connecting several times because we forget to pass around the
3096
Transport object. This modifies ``BzrDir.create_branch_convenience``,
3097
so that we can give it the Transport we already have.
3098
(John Arbash Meinel, Vincent Ladeuil, #111702)
3099
3100
* Get rid of sftp connection cache (get rid of the FTP one too).
3101
(Vincent Ladeuil, #43731)
3102
3103
* bzr branch {local|remote} remote don't try to create a working tree
3104
anymore.
3105
(Vincent Ladeuil, #112173)
3106
3107
* All identified multiple connections for a single bzr command have been
3108
fixed. See bzrlib/tests/commands directory.
3109
(Vincent Ladeuil)
3110
3111
* ``bzr rm`` now does not insist on ``--force`` to delete files that
3112
have been renamed but not otherwise modified. (Marius Kruger,
3113
#111664)
3114
3115
* ``bzr selftest --bench`` no longer emits deprecation warnings
3116
(Lukáš Lalinský)
3117
3118
* ``bzr status`` now honours FILE parameters for conflict lists
3119
(Aaron Bentley, #127606)
3120
3121
* ``bzr checkout`` now honours -r when reconstituting a working tree.
3122
It also honours -r 0. (Aaron Bentley, #127708)
3123
3124
* ``bzr add *`` no more fails on Windows if working tree contains
3125
non-ascii file names. (Kuno Meyer, #127361)
3126
3127
* allow ``easy_install bzr`` runs without fatal errors.
3128
(Alexander Belchenko, #125521)
3129
3130
* Graph._filter_candidate_lca does not raise KeyError if a candidate
3131
is eliminated just before it would normally be examined. (Aaron Bentley)
3132
3133
* SMTP connection failures produce a nice message, not a traceback.
3134
(Aaron Bentley)
3135
3136
IMPROVEMENTS:
3137
3138
* Don't show "dots" progress indicators when run non-interactively, such
3139
as from cron. (Martin Pool)
3140
3141
* ``info`` now formats locations more nicely and lists "submit" and
3142
"public" branches (Aaron Bentley)
3143
3144
* New ``pack`` command that will trigger database compression within
3145
the repository (Robert Collins)
3146
3147
* Implement ``_KnitIndex._load_data`` in a pyrex extension. The pyrex
3148
version is approximately 2-3x faster at parsing a ``.kndx`` file.
3149
Which yields a measurable improvement for commands which have to
3150
read from the repository, such as a 1s => 0.75s improvement in
3151
``bzr diff`` when there are changes to be shown. (John Arbash Meinel)
3152
3153
* Merge is now faster. Depending on the scenario, it can be more than 2x
3154
faster. (Aaron Bentley)
3155
3156
* Give a clearer warning, and allow ``python setup.py install`` to
3157
succeed even if pyrex is not available.
3158
(John Arbash Meinel)
3159
3160
* ``DirState._read_dirblocks`` now has an optional Pyrex
3161
implementation. This improves the speed of any command that has to
3162
read the entire DirState. (``diff``, ``status``, etc, improve by
3163
about 10%).
3164
``bisect_dirblocks`` has also been improved, which helps all
3165
``_get_entry`` type calls (whenever we are searching for a
3166
particular entry in the in-memory DirState).
3167
(John Arbash Meinel)
3168
3169
* ``bzr pull`` and ``bzr push`` no longer do a complete walk of the
3170
branch revision history for ui display unless -v is supplied.
3171
(Robert Collins)
3172
3173
* ``bzr log -rA..B`` output shifted to the left margin if the log only
3174
contains merge revisions. (Kent Gibson)
3175
3176
* The ``plugins`` command is now public with improved help.
3177
(Ian Clatworthy)
3178
3179
* New bundle and merge directive formats are faster to generate, and
3180
3181
* Annotate merge now works when there are local changes. (Aaron Bentley)
3182
3183
* Commit now only shows the progress in terms of directories instead of
3184
entries. (Ian Clatworthy)
3185
3186
* Fix ``KnitRepository.get_revision_graph`` to not request the graph 2
3187
times. This makes ``get_revision_graph`` 2x faster. (John Arbash
3188
Meinel)
3189
3190
* Fix ``VersionedFile.get_graph()`` to avoid using
3191
``set.difference_update(other)``, which has bad scaling when
3192
``other`` is large. This improves ``VF.get_graph([version_id])`` for
3193
a 12.5k graph from 2.9s down to 200ms. (John Arbash Meinel)
3194
3195
* The ``--lsprof-file`` option now generates output for KCacheGrind if
3196
the file starts with ``callgrind.out``. This matches the default file
3197
filtering done by KCacheGrind's Open Dialog. (Ian Clatworthy)
3198
3199
* Fix ``bzr update`` to avoid an unnecessary
3200
``branch.get_master_branch`` call, which avoids 1 extra connection
3201
to the remote server. (Partial fix for #128076, John Arbash Meinel)
3202
3203
* Log errors from the smart server in the trace file, to make debugging
3204
test failures (and live failures!) easier. (Andrew Bennetts)
3205
3206
* The HTML version of the man page has been superceded by a more
3207
comprehensive manual called the Bazaar User Reference. This manual
3208
is completed generated from the online help topics. As part of this
3209
change, limited reStructuredText is now explicitly supported in help
3210
topics and command help with 'unnatural' markup being removed prior
3211
to display by the online help or inclusion in the man page.
3212
(Ian Clatworthy)
3213
3214
* HTML documentation now use files extension ``*.html``
3215
(Alexander Belchenko)
3216
3217
* The cache of ignore definitions is now cleared in WorkingTree.unlock()
3218
so that changes to .bzrignore aren't missed. (#129694, Daniel Watkins)
3219
3220
* ``bzr selftest --strict`` fails if there are any missing features or
3221
expected test failures. (Daniel Watkins, #111914)
3222
3223
* Link to registration survey added to README. (Ian Clatworthy)
3224
3225
* Windows standalone installer show link to registration survey
3226
when installation finished. (Alexander Belchenko)
3227
3228
LIBRARY API BREAKS:
3229
3230
* Deprecated dictionary ``bzrlib.option.SHORT_OPTIONS`` removed.
3231
Options are now required to provide a help string and it must
3232
comply with the style guide by being one or more sentences with an
3233
initial capital and final period. (Martin Pool)
3234
3235
* KnitIndex.get_parents now returns tuples. (Robert Collins)
3236
3237
* Ancient unused ``Repository.text_store`` attribute has been removed.
3238
(Robert Collins)
3239
3240
* The ``bzrlib.pack`` interface has changed to use tuples of bytestrings
3241
rather than just bytestrings, making it easier to represent multiple
3242
element names. As this interface was not used by any internal facilities
3243
since it was introduced in 0.18 no API compatibility is being preserved.
3244
The serialised form of these packs is identical with 0.18 when a single
3245
element tuple is in use. (Robert Collins)
3246
3247
INTERNALS:
3248
3249
* merge now uses ``iter_changes`` to calculate changes, which makes room for
3250
future performance increases. It is also more consistent with other
3251
operations that perform comparisons, and reduces reliance on
3252
Tree.inventory. (Aaron Bentley)
3253
3254
* Refactoring of transport classes connected to a remote server.
3255
ConnectedTransport is a new class that serves as a basis for all
3256
transports needing to connect to a remote server. transport.split_url
3257
have been deprecated, use the static method on the object instead. URL
3258
tests have been refactored too.
3259
(Vincent Ladeuil)
3260
3261
* Better connection sharing for ConnectedTransport objects.
3262
transport.get_transport() now accepts a 'possible_transports' parameter.
3263
If a newly requested transport can share a connection with one of the
3264
list, it will.
3265
(Vincent Ladeuil)
3266
3267
* Most functions now accept ``bzrlib.revision.NULL_REVISION`` to indicate
3268
the null revision, and consider using ``None`` for this purpose
3269
deprecated. (Aaron Bentley)
3270
3271
* New ``index`` module with abstract index functionality. This will be
3272
used during the planned changes in the repository layer. Currently the
3273
index layer provides a graph aware immutable index, a builder for the
3274
same index type to allow creating them, and finally a composer for
3275
such indices to allow the use of many indices in a single query. The
3276
index performance is not optimised, however the API is stable to allow
3277
development on top of the index. (Robert Collins)
3278
3279
* ``bzrlib.dirstate.cmp_by_dirs`` can be used to compare two paths by
3280
their directory sections. This is equivalent to comparing
3281
``path.split('/')``, only without having to split the paths.
3282
This has a Pyrex implementation available.
3283
(John Arbash Meinel)
3284
3285
* New transport decorator 'unlistable+' which disables the list_dir
3286
functionality for testing.
3287
3288
* Deprecated ``change_entry`` in transform.py. (Ian Clatworthy)
3289
3290
* RevisionTree.get_weave is now deprecated. Tree.plan_merge is now used
3291
for performing annotate-merge. (Aaron Bentley)
3292
3293
* New EmailMessage class to create email messages. (Adeodato Simó)
3294
3295
* Unused functions on the private interface KnitIndex have been removed.
3296
(Robert Collins)
3297
3298
* New ``knit.KnitGraphIndex`` which provides a ``KnitIndex`` layered on top
3299
of a ``index.GraphIndex``. (Robert Collins)
3300
3301
* New ``knit.KnitVersionedFile.iter_parents`` method that allows querying
3302
the parents of many knit nodes at once, reducing round trips to the
3303
underlying index. (Robert Collins)
3304
3305
* Graph now has an is_ancestor method, various bits use it.
3306
(Aaron Bentley)
3307
3308
* The ``-Dhpss`` flag now includes timing information. As well as
3309
logging when a new connection is opened. (John Arbash Meinel)
3310
3311
* ``bzrlib.pack.ContainerWriter`` now returns an offset, length tuple to
3312
callers when inserting data, allowing generation of readv style access
3313
during pack creation, without needing a separate pass across the output
3314
pack to gather such details. (Robert Collins)
3315
3316
* ``bzrlib.pack.make_readv_reader`` allows readv based access to pack
3317
files that are stored on a transport. (Robert Collins)
3318
3319
* New ``Repository.has_same_location`` method that reports if two
3320
repository objects refer to the same repository (although with some risk
3321
of false negatives). (Andrew Bennetts)
3322
3323
* InterTree.compare now passes require_versioned on correctly.
3324
(Marius Kruger)
3325
3326
* New methods on Repository - ``start_write_group``,
3327
``commit_write_group``, ``abort_write_group`` and ``is_in_write_group`` -
3328
which provide a clean hook point for transactional Repositories - ones
3329
where all the data for a fetch or commit needs to be made atomically
3330
available in one step. This allows the write lock to remain while making
3331
a series of data insertions. (e.g. data conversion). (Robert Collins)
3332
3333
* In ``bzrlib.knit`` the internal interface has been altered to use
3334
3-tuples (index, pos, length) rather than two-tuples (pos, length) to
3335
describe where data in a knit is, allowing knits to be split into
3336
many files. (Robert Collins)
3337
3338
* ``bzrlib.knit._KnitData`` split into cache management and physical access
3339
with two access classes - ``_PackAccess`` and ``_KnitAccess`` defined.
3340
The former provides access into a .pack file, and the latter provides the
3341
current production repository form of .knit files. (Robert Collins)
3342
3343
TESTING:
3344
3345
* Remove selftest ``--clean-output``, ``--numbered-dirs`` and
3346
``--keep-output`` options, which are obsolete now that tests
3347
are done within directories in $TMPDIR. (Martin Pool)
3348
3349
* The SSH_AUTH_SOCK environment variable is now reset to avoid
3350
interaction with any running ssh agents. (Jelmer Vernooij, #125955)
3351
3352
* run_bzr_subprocess handles parameters the same way as run_bzr:
3353
either a string or a list of strings should be passed as the first
3354
parameter. Varargs-style parameters are deprecated. (Aaron Bentley)

3370
* Do not suppress pipe errors, etc. in non-display commands
3371
(Alexander Belchenko, #87178)
3372
3373
* Display a useful error message when the user requests to annotate
3374
a file that is not present in the specified revision.
3375
(James Westby, #122656)
3376
3377

* Fix handling of http code 400: Bad Request When issuing too many ranges.
3392
(Vincent Ladeuil, #115209)

3396
(Vincent Ladeuil, #120678)
3397
3398

3399
individually and as part of revision ranges.
3400
(Kent Gibson, #4663)
3401
3402
* Don't leave cruft behind when failing to acquire a lockdir.

3404
3405
* Don't use the '-f' strace option during tests.
3406
(Vincent Ladeuil, #102019).
3407
3408
* Warn when setting ``push_location`` to a value that will be masked by
3409
locations.conf. (Aaron Bentley, #122286)
3410
3411
* Fix commit ordering in corner case (Aaron Bentley, #94975)
3412
3413
* Make annotate behave in a non-ASCII world (Adeodato Simó).
3414
3415
IMPROVEMENTS:
3416
3417
* The --lsprof-file option now dumps a text rendering of the profiling
3418
information if the filename ends in ".txt". It will also convert the
3419
profiling information to a format suitable for KCacheGrind if the
3420
output filename ends in ".callgrind". Fixes to the lsprofcalltree
3421
conversion process by Jean Paul Calderone and Itamar were also merged.
3422
See http://ddaa.net/blog/python/lsprof-calltree. (Ian Clatworthy)
3423
3424
* ``info`` now defaults to non-verbose mode, displaying only paths and
3425
abbreviated format info. ``info -v`` displays all the information
3426
formerly displayed by ``info``. (Aaron Bentley, Adeodato Simó)
3427
3428
* ``bzr missing`` now has better option names ``--this`` and ``--other``.
3429
(Elliot Murphy)
3430
3431
* The internal ``weave-list`` command has become ``versionedfile-list``,
3432
and now lists knits as well as weaves. (Aaron Bentley)
3433
3434
* Automatic merge base selection uses a faster algorithm that chooses
3435
better bases in criss-cross merge situations (Aaron Bentley)
3436
3437
* Progress reporting in ``commit`` has been improved. The various logical
3438
stages are now reported on as follows, namely:
3439
3440
* Collecting changes [Entry x/y] - Stage n/m
3441
* Saving data locally - Stage n/m
3442
* Uploading data to master branch - Stage n/m
3443
* Updating the working tree - Stage n/m
3444
* Running post commit hooks - Stage n/m
3445
3446
If there is no master branch, the 3rd stage is omitted and the total
3447
number of stages is adjusted accordingly.
3448
3449
Each hook that is run after commit is listed with a name (as hooks
3450
can be slow it is useful feedback).
3451
(Ian Clatworthy, Robert Collins)
3452
3453
* Various operations that are now faster due to avoiding unnecessary
3454
topological sorts. (Aaron Bentley)
3455
3456
* Make merge directives robust against broken bundles. (Aaron Bentley)
3457
3458
* The lsprof filename note is emitted via trace.note(), not standard
3459
output. (Aaron Bentley)
3460
3461
* ``bzrlib`` now exports explicit API compatibility information to assist
3462
library users and plugins. See the ``bzrlib.api`` module for details.
3463
(Robert Collins)
3464
3465
* Remove unnecessary lock probes when acquiring a lockdir.
3466
(Martin Pool)
3467
3468
* ``bzr --version`` now shows the location of the bzr log file, which
3469
is especially useful on Windows. (Martin Pool)
3470
3471
* -D now supports hooks to get debug tracing of hooks (though its currently
3472
minimal in nature). (Robert Collins)
3473
3474
* Long log format reports deltas on merge revisions.
3475
(John Arbash Meinel, Kent Gibson)
3476
3477
* Make initial push over ftp more resilient. (John Arbash Meinel)
3478
3479
* Print a summary of changes for update just like pull does.
3480
(Daniel Watkins, #113990)
3481
3482
* Add a -Dhpss option to trace smart protocol requests and responses.
3483
(Andrew Bennetts)
3484
3485
LIBRARY API BREAKS:
3486
3487
* Testing cleanups -
3488
``bzrlib.repository.RepositoryTestProviderAdapter`` has been moved
3489
to ``bzrlib.tests.repository_implementations``;
3490
``bzrlib.repository.InterRepositoryTestProviderAdapter`` has been moved
3491
to ``bzrlib.tests.interrepository_implementations``;
3492
``bzrlib.transport.TransportTestProviderAdapter`` has moved to
3493
``bzrlib.tests.test_transport_implementations``.
3494
``bzrlib.branch.BranchTestProviderAdapter`` has moved to
3495
``bzrlib.tests.branch_implementations``.
3496
``bzrlib.bzrdir.BzrDirTestProviderAdapter`` has moved to
3497
``bzrlib.tests.bzrdir_implementations``.
3498
``bzrlib.versionedfile.InterVersionedFileTestProviderAdapter`` has moved
3499
to ``bzrlib.tests.interversionedfile_implementations``.
3500
``bzrlib.store.revision.RevisionStoreTestProviderAdapter`` has moved to
3501
``bzrlib.tests.revisionstore_implementations``.
3502
``bzrlib.workingtree.WorkingTreeTestProviderAdapter`` has moved to
3503
``bzrlib.tests.workingtree_implementations``.
3504
These changes are an API break in the testing infrastructure only.
3505
(Robert Collins)
3506
3507
* Relocate TestCaseWithRepository to be more central. (Robert Collins)
3508
3509
* ``bzrlib.add.smart_add_tree`` will no longer perform glob expansion on
3510
win32. Callers of the function should do this and use the new
3511
``MutableTree.smart_add`` method instead. (Robert Collins)
3512
3513
* ``bzrlib.add.glob_expand_for_win32`` is now
3514
``bzrlib.win32utils.glob_expand``. (Robert Collins)
3515
3516
* ``bzrlib.add.FastPath`` is now private and moved to
3517
``bzrlib.mutabletree._FastPath``. (Robert Collins, Martin Pool)
3518
3519
* ``LockDir.wait`` removed. (Martin Pool)
3520
3521
* The ``SmartServer`` hooks API has changed for the ``server_started`` and
3522
``server_stopped`` hooks. The first parameter is now an iterable of
3523
backing URLs rather than a single URL. This is to reflect that many
3524
URLs may map to the external URL of the server. E.g. the server interally
3525
may have a chrooted URL but also the local file:// URL will be at the
3526
same location. (Robert Collins)
3527
3528
INTERNALS:
3529
3530
* New SMTPConnection class to unify email handling. (Adeodato Simó)
3531
3532
* Fix documentation of BzrError. (Adeodato Simó)
3533
3534
* Make BzrBadParameter an internal error. (Adeodato Simó)
3535
3536
* Remove use of 'assert False' to raise an exception unconditionally.
3537
(Martin Pool)
3538
3539
* Give a cleaner error when failing to decode knit index entry.
3540
(Martin Pool)
3541
3542
* TreeConfig would mistakenly search the top level when asked for options
3543
from a section. It now respects the section argument and only
3544
searches the specified section. (James Westby)
3545
3546
* Improve ``make api-docs`` output. (John Arbash Meinel)
3547
3548
* Use os.lstat rather than os.stat for osutils.make_readonly and
3549
osutils.make_writeable. This makes the difftools plugin more
3550
robust when dangling symlinks are found. (Elliot Murphy)
3551
3552
* New ``-Dlock`` option to log (to ~/.bzr.log) information on when
3553
lockdirs are taken or released. (Martin Pool)
3554
3555
* ``bzrlib`` Hooks are now nameable using ``Hooks.name_hook``. This
3556
allows a nicer UI when hooks are running as the current hook can
3557
be displayed. (Robert Collins)
3558
3559
* ``Transport.get`` has had its interface made more clear for ease of use.
3560
Retrieval of a directory must now fail with either 'PathError' at open
3561
time, or raise 'ReadError' on a read. (Robert Collins)
3562
3563
* New method ``_maybe_expand_globs`` on the ``Command`` class for
3564
dealing with unexpanded glob lists - e.g. on the win32 platform. This
3565
was moved from ``bzrlib.add._prepare_file_list``. (Robert Collins)
3566
3567
* ``bzrlib.add.smart_add`` and ``bzrlib.add.smart_add_tree`` are now
3568
deprecated in favour of ``MutableTree.smart_add``. (Robert Collins,
3569
Martin Pool)
3570
3571
* New method ``external_url`` on Transport for obtaining the url to
3572
hand to external processes. (Robert Collins)
3573
3574
* Teach windows installers to build pyrex/C extensions.
3575
(Alexander Belchenko)
3576
3577
TESTING:
3578
3579
* Removed the ``--keep-output`` option from selftest and clean up test
3580
directories as they're used. This reduces the IO load from
3581
running the test suite and cuts the time by about half.
3582
(Andrew Bennetts, Martin Pool)
3583
3584
* Add scenarios as a public attribute on the TestAdapter classes to allow
3585
modification of the generated scenarios before adaption and easier
3586
testing. (Robert Collins)
3587
3588
* New testing support class ``TestScenarioApplier`` which multiplies
3589
out a single teste by a list of supplied scenarios. (RobertCollins)
3590
3591
* Setting ``repository_to_test_repository`` on a repository_implementations
3592
test will cause it to be called during repository creation, allowing the
3593
testing of repository classes which are not based around the Format
3594
concept. For example a repository adapter can be tested in this manner,
3595
by altering the repository scenarios to include a scenario that sets this
3596
attribute during the test parameterisation in
3597
``bzrlib.tests.repository.repository_implementations``. (Robert Collins)
3598
3599
* Clean up many of the APIs for blackbox testing of Bazaar. The standard
3600
interface is now self.run_bzr. The command to run can be passed as
3601
either a list of parameters, a string containing the command line, or
3602
(deprecated) varargs parameters. (Martin Pool)
3603
3604
* The base TestCase now isolates tests from -D parameters by clearing
3605
``debug.debug_flags`` and restores it afterwards. (Robert Collins)
3606
3607
* Add a relpath parameter to get_transport methods in test framework to
3608
avoid useless cloning.

NOTES WHEN UPGRADING:
3628
3629
* The kind() and is_executable() APIs on the WorkingTree interface no
3630
longer implicitly (read) locks and unlocks the tree. This *might*
3631
impact some plug-ins and tools using this part of the API. If you find
3632
an issue that may be caused by this change, please let us know,
3633
particularly the plug-in/tool maintainer. If encountered, the API
3634
fix is to surround kind() and is_executable() calls with lock_read()
3635
and unlock() like so::
3636
3637
work_tree.lock_read()
3638
try:
3639
kind = work_tree.kind(...)
3640
finally:
3641
work_tree.unlock()
3642
3643
INTERNALS:
3644
* Rework of LogFormatter API to provide beginning/end of log hooks and to
3645
encapsulate the details of the revision to be logged in a LogRevision
3646
object.
3647
In long log formats, merge revision ids are only shown when --show-ids
3648
is specified, and are labelled "revision-id:", as per mainline
3649
revisions, instead of "merged:". (Kent Gibson)
3650
3651
* New ``BranchBuilder`` API which allows the construction of particular
3652
histories quickly. Useful for testing and potentially other applications
3653
too. (Robert Collins)
3654
3655
IMPROVEMENTS:
3656
3657
* There are two new help topics, working-trees and repositories that
3658
attempt to explain these concepts. (James Westby, John Arbash Meinel,
3659
Aaron Bentley)
3660
3661
* Added ``bzr log --limit`` to report a limited number of revisions.
3662
(Kent Gibson, #3659)
3663
3664
* Revert does not try to preserve file contents that were originally
3665
produced by reverting to a historical revision. (Aaron Bentley)
3666
3667
* ``bzr log --short`` now includes ``[merge]`` for revisions which
3668
have more than one parent. This is a small improvement to help
3669
understanding what changes have occurred
3670
(John Arbash Meinel, #83887)
3671
3672
* TreeTransform avoids many renames when contructing large trees,
3673
improving speed. 3.25x speedups have been observed for construction of
3674
kernel-sized-trees, and checkouts are 1.28x faster. (Aaron Bentley)
3675
3676
* Commit on large trees is now faster. In my environment, a commit of
3677
a small change to the Mozilla tree (55k files) has dropped from
3678
66 seconds to 32 seconds. For a small tree of 600 files, commit of a
3679
small change is 33% faster. (Ian Clatworthy)
3680
3681
* New --create-prefix option to bzr init, like for push. (Daniel Watkins,
3682
#56322)
3683
3684
BUGFIXES:
3685
3686
* ``bzr push`` should only connect to the remote location one time.
3687
We have been connecting 3 times because we forget to pass around
3688
the Transport object. This adds ``BzrDir.clone_on_transport()``, so
3689
that we can pass in the Transport that we already have.
3690
(John Arbash Meinel, #75721)
3691
3692
* ``DirState.set_state_from_inventory()`` needs to properly order
3693
based on split paths, not just string paths.
3694
(John Arbash Meinel, #115947)
3695
3696
* Let TestUIFactoy encode the password prompt with its own stdout.
3697
(Vincent Ladeuil, #110204)

* WorkingTree4.get_file_sha1 no longer raises an exception when invoked
3704
on a missing file. (Aaron Bentley, #118186)
3705
3706
* WorkingTree.remove works correctly with tree references, and when pwd is
3707
not the tree root. (Aaron Bentley)
3708
3709
* Merge no longer fails when a file is renamed in one tree and deleted
3710
in the other. (Aaron Bentley, #110279)
3711
3712
* ``revision-info`` now accepts dotted revnos, doesn't require a tree,
3713
and defaults to the last revision (Matthew Fuller, #90048)
3714
3715
* Tests no longer fail when BZR_REMOTE_PATH is set in the environment.
3716
(Daniel Watkins, #111958)
3717
3718
* ``bzr branch -r revid:foo`` can be used to branch any revision in
3719
your repository. (Previously Branch6 only supported revisions in your
3720
mainline). (John Arbash Meinel, #115343)

--------------------
3724
3725
BUGFIXES:
3726
3727
* Handle when you have 2 directories with similar names, but one has a
3728
hyphen. (``'abc'`` versus ``'abc-2'``). The WT4._iter_changes
3729
iterator was using direct comparison and ``'abc/a'`` sorts after
3730
``'abc-2'``, but ``('abc', 'a')`` sorts before ``('abc-2',)``.
3731
(John Arbash Meinel, #111227)
3732
3733
* Handle when someone renames a file on disk without telling bzr.
3734
Previously we would report the first file as missing, but not show
3735
the new unknown file. (John Arbash Meinel, #111288)
3736
3737
* Avoid error when running hooks after pulling into or pushing from
3738
a branch bound to a smartserver branch. (Martin Pool, #111968)
3739
3740
IMPROVEMENTS:
3741
3742
* Move developer documentation to doc/developers/. This reduces clutter in
3743
the root of the source tree and allows HACKING to be split into multiple
3744
files. (Robert Collins, Alexander Belchenko)
3745
3746
* Clean up the ``WorkingTree4._iter_changes()`` internal loops as well as
3747
``DirState.update_entry()``. This optimizes the core logic for ``bzr
3748
diff`` and ``bzr status`` significantly improving the speed of
3749
both. (John Arbash Meinel)

3752
-----------------------
3753
3754
BUGFIXES:
3755
3756
* Handle the case when you delete a file, and then rename another file
3757
on top of it. Also handle the case of ``bzr rm --keep foo``. ``bzr
3758
status`` should show the removed file and an unknown file in its
3759
place. (John Arbash Meinel, #109993)
3760
3761
* Bundles properly read and write revision properties that have an
3762
empty value. And when the value is not ASCII.
3763
(John Arbash Meinel, #109613)
3764
3765
* Fix the bzr commit message to be in text mode.
3766
(Alexander Belchenko, #110901)
3767
3768
* Also handle when you rename a file and create a file where it used
3769
to be. (John Arbash Meinel, #110256)
3770
3771
* ``WorkingTree4._iter_changes`` should not descend into unversioned
3772
directories. (John Arbash Meinel, #110399)

3775
-----------------------
3776
3777
NOTES WHEN UPGRADING:
3778
3779
* ``bzr remove`` and ``bzr rm`` will now remove the working file, if
3780
it could be recovered again.
3781
This has been done for consistency with svn and the unix rm command.
3782
The old ``remove`` behaviour has been retained in the new option
3783
``bzr remove --keep``, which will just stop versioning the file,
3784
but not delete it.
3785
``bzr remove --force`` have been added which will always delete the
3786
files.
3787
``bzr remove`` is also more verbose.
3788
(Marius Kruger, #82602)
3789
3790
IMPROVEMENTS:
3791
3792
* Merge directives can now be supplied as input to `merge` and `pull`,
3793
like bundles can. (Aaron Bentley)
3794
3795
* Sending the SIGQUIT signal to bzr, which can be done on Unix by
3796
pressing Control-Backslash, drops bzr into a debugger. Type ``'c'``
3797
to continue. This can be disabled by setting the environment variable
3798
``BZR_SIGQUIT_PDB=0``. (Martin Pool)
3799
3800
* selftest now supports --list-only to list tests instead of running
3801
them. (Ian Clatworthy)
3802
3803
* selftest now supports --exclude PATTERN (or -x PATTERN) to exclude
3804
tests with names that match that regular expression.
3805
(Ian Clatworthy, #102679)
3806
3807
* selftest now supports --randomize SEED to run tests in a random order.
3808
SEED is typically the value 'now' meaning 'use the current time'.
3809
(Ian Clatworthy, #102686)
3810
3811
* New option ``--fixes`` to commit, which stores bug fixing annotations as
3812
revision properties. Built-in support for Launchpad, Debian, Trac and
3813
Bugzilla bug trackers. (Jonathan Lange, James Henstridge, Robert Collins)
3814
3815
* New API, ``bzrlib.bugtracker.tracker_registry``, for adding support for
3816
other bug trackers to ``fixes``. (Jonathan Lange, James Henstridge,
3817
Robert Collins)
3818
3819
* ``selftest`` has new short options ``-f`` and ``-1``. (Martin
3820
Pool)
3821
3822
* ``bzrlib.tsort.MergeSorter`` optimizations. Change the inner loop
3823
into using local variables instead of going through ``self._var``.
3824
Improves the time to ``merge_sort`` a 10k revision graph by
3825
approximately 40% (~700->400ms). (John Arbash Meinel)
3826
3827
* ``make docs`` now creates a man page at ``man1/bzr.1`` fixing bug 107388.
3828
(Robert Collins)
3829
3830
* ``bzr help`` now provides cross references to other help topics using
3831
the _see_also facility on command classes. Likewise the bzr_man
3832
documentation, and the bzr.1 man page also include this information.
3833
(Robert Collins)
3834
3835
* Tags are now included in logs, that use the long log formatter.
3836
(Erik Bågfors, Alexander Belchenko)
3837
3838
* ``bzr help`` provides a clearer message when a help topic cannot be
3839
found. (Robert Collins, #107656)
3840
3841
* ``bzr help`` now accepts optional prefixes for command help. The help
3842
for all commands can now be found at ``bzr help commands/COMMANDNAME``
3843
as well as ``bzr help COMMANDNAME`` (which only works for commands
3844
where the name is not the same as a more general help topic).
3845
(Robert Collins)
3846
3847
* ``bzr help PLUGINNAME`` will now return the module docstring from the
3848
plugin PLUGINNAME. (Robert Collins, #50408)
3849
3850
* New help topic ``urlspec`` which lists the availables transports.
3851
(Goffredo Baroncelli)
3852
3853
* doc/server.txt updated to document the default bzr:// port
3854
and also update the blurb about the hpss' current status.
3855
(Robert Collins, #107125).
3856
3857
* ``bzr serve`` now listens on interface 0.0.0.0 by default, making it
3858
serve out to the local LAN (and anyone in the world that can reach the
3859
machine running ``bzr serve``. (Robert Collins, #98918)
3860
3861
* A new smart server protocol version has been added. It prefixes requests
3862
and responses with an explicit version identifier so that future protocol
3863
revisions can be dealt with gracefully. (Andrew Bennetts, Robert Collins)
3864
3865
* The bzr protocol version 2 indicates success or failure in every response
3866
without depending on particular commands encoding that consistently,
3867
allowing future client refactorings to be much more robust about error
3868
handling. (Robert Collins, Martin Pool, Andrew Bennetts)
3869
3870
* The smart protocol over HTTP client has been changed to always post to the
3871
same ``.bzr/smart`` URL under the original location when it can. This allows
3872
HTTP servers to only have to pass URLs ending in .bzr/smart to the smart
3873
server handler, and not arbitrary ``.bzr/*/smart`` URLs. (Andrew Bennetts)
3874
3875
* digest authentication is now supported for proxies and HTTP by the urllib
3876
based http implementation. Tested against Apache 2.0.55 and Squid
3877
2.6.5. Basic and digest authentication are handled coherently for HTTP
3878
and proxy: if the user is provided in the url (bzr command line for HTTP,
3879
proxy environment variables for proxies), the password is prompted for
3880
(only once). If the password is provided, it is taken into account. Once
3881
the first authentication is successful, all further authentication
3882
roundtrips are avoided by preventively setting the right authentication
3883
header(s).
3884
(Vincent Ladeuil).
3885
3886
INTERNALS:
3887
3888
* bzrlib API compatability with 0.8 has been dropped, cleaning up some
3889
code paths. (Robert Collins)
3890
3891
* Change the format of chroot urls so that they can be safely manipulated
3892
by generic url utilities without causing the resulting urls to have
3893
escaped the chroot. A side effect of this is that creating a chroot
3894
requires an explicit action using a ChrootServer.
3895
(Robert Collins, Andrew Bennetts)
3896
3897
* Deprecate ``Branch.get_root_id()`` because branches don't have root ids,
3898
rather than fixing bug #96847. (Aaron Bentley)
3899
3900
* ``WorkingTree.apply_inventory_delta`` provides a better alternative to
3901
``WorkingTree._write_inventory``. (Aaron Bentley)
3902
3903
* Convenience method ``TestCase.expectFailure`` ensures that known failures
3904
do not silently pass. (Aaron Bentley)
3905
3906
* ``Transport.local_abspath`` now raises ``NotLocalUrl`` rather than
3907
``TransportNotPossible``. (Martin Pool, Ian Clatworthy)
3908
3909
* New SmartServer hooks facility. There are two initial hooks documented
3910
in ``bzrlib.transport.smart.SmartServerHooks``. The two initial hooks allow
3911
plugins to execute code upon server startup and shutdown.
3912
(Robert Collins).
3913
3914
* SmartServer in standalone mode will now close its listening socket
3915
when it stops, rather than waiting for garbage collection. This primarily
3916
fixes test suite hangs when a test tries to connect to a shutdown server.
3917
It may also help improve behaviour when dealing with a server running
3918
on a specific port (rather than dynamically assigned ports).
3919
(Robert Collins)
3920
3921
* Move most SmartServer code into a new package, bzrlib/smart.
3922
bzrlib/transport/remote.py contains just the Transport classes that used
3923
to be in bzrlib/transport/smart.py. (Andrew Bennetts)
3924
3925
* urllib http implementation avoid roundtrips associated with
3926
401 (and 407) errors once the authentication succeeds.
3927
(Vincent Ladeuil).
3928
3929
* urlib http now supports querying the user for a proxy password if
3930
needed. Realm is shown in the prompt for both HTTP and proxy
3931
authentication when the user is required to type a password.
3932
(Vincent Ladeuil).
3933
3934
* Renamed SmartTransport (and subclasses like SmartTCPTransport) to
3935
RemoteTransport (and subclasses to RemoteTCPTransport, etc). This is more
3936
consistent with its new home in ``bzrlib/transport/remote.py``, and because
3937
it's not really a "smart" transport, just one that does file operations
3938
via remote procedure calls. (Andrew Bennetts)
3939
3940
* The ``lock_write`` method of ``LockableFiles``, ``Repository`` and
3941
``Branch`` now accept a ``token`` keyword argument, so that separate
3942
instances of those objects can share a lock if it has the right token.
3943
(Andrew Bennetts, Robert Collins)
3944
3945
* New method ``get_branch_reference`` on ``BzrDir`` allows the detection of
3946
branch references - which the smart server component needs.
3947
3948
* The Repository API ``make_working_trees`` is now permitted to return
3949
False when ``set_make_working_trees`` is not implemented - previously
3950
an unimplemented ``set_make_working_trees`` implied the result True
3951
from ``make_working_trees``. This has been changed to accomodate the
3952
smart server, where it does not make sense (at this point) to ever
3953
make working trees by default. (Robert Collins)
3954
3955
* Command objects can now declare related help topics by having _see_also
3956
set to a list of related topic. (Robert Collins)
3957
3958
* ``bzrlib.help`` now delegates to the Command class for Command specific
3959
help. (Robert Collins)
3960
3961
* New class ``TransportListRegistry``, derived from the Registry class, which
3962
simplifies tracking the available Transports. (Goffredo Baroncelli)
3963
3964
* New function ``Branch.get_revision_id_to_revno_map`` which will
3965
return a dictionary mapping revision ids to dotted revnos. Since
3966
dotted revnos are defined in the context of the branch tip, it makes
3967
sense to generate them from a ``Branch`` object.
3968
(John Arbash Meinel)
3969
3970
* Fix the 'Unprintable error' message display to use the repr of the
3971
exception that prevented printing the error because the str value
3972
for it is often not useful in debugging (e.g. KeyError('foo') has a
3973
str() of 'foo' but a repr of 'KeyError('foo')' which is much more
3974
useful. (Robert Collins)
3975
3976
* ``urlutils.normalize_url`` now unescapes unreserved characters, such as "~".
3977
(Andrew Bennetts)
3978
3979
BUGFIXES:
3980
3981
* Don't fail bundle selftest if email has 'two' embedded.
3982
(Ian Clatworthy, #98510)
3983
3984
* Remove ``--verbose`` from ``bzr bundle``. It didn't work anyway.
3985
(Robert Widhopf-Fenk, #98591)
3986
3987
* Remove ``--basis`` from the checkout/branch commands - it didn't work
3988
properly and is no longer beneficial.
3989
(Robert Collins, #53675, #43486)
3990
3991
* Don't produce encoding error when adding duplicate files.
3992
(Aaron Bentley)
3993
3994
* Fix ``bzr log <file>`` so it only logs the revisions that changed
3995
the file, and does it faster.
3996
(Kent Gibson, John Arbash Meinel, #51980, #69477)
3997
3998
* Fix ``InterDirstateTre._iter_changes`` to handle when we come across
3999
an empty versioned directory, which now has files in it.
4000
(John Arbash Meinel, #104257)
4001
4002
* Teach ``common_ancestor`` to shortcut when the tip of one branch is
4003
inside the ancestry of the other. Saves a lot of graph processing
4004
(with an ancestry of 16k revisions, ``bzr merge ../already-merged``
4005
changes from 2m10s to 13s). (John Arbash Meinel, #103757)
4006
4007
* Fix ``show_diff_trees`` to handle the case when a file is modified,
4008
and the containing directory is renamed. (The file path is different
4009
in this versus base, but it isn't marked as a rename).
4010
(John Arbash Meinel, #103870)
4011
4012
* FTP now works even when the FTP server does not support atomic rename.
4013
(Aaron Bentley, #89436)
4014
4015
* Correct handling in bundles and merge directives of timezones with
4016
that are not an integer number of hours offset from UTC. Always
4017
represent the epoch time in UTC to avoid problems with formatting
4018
earlier times on win32. (Martin Pool, Alexander Belchenko, John
4019
Arbash Meinel)
4020
4021
* Typo in the help for ``register-branch`` fixed. (Robert Collins, #96770)
4022
4023
* "dirstate" and "dirstate-tags" formats now produce branches compatible
4024
with old versions of bzr. (Aaron Bentley, #107168))
4025
4026
* Handle moving a directory when children have been added, removed,
4027
and renamed. (John Arbash Meinel, #105479)
4028
4029
* Don't preventively use basic authentication for proxy before receiving a
4030
407 error. Otherwise people willing to use other authentication schemes
4031
may expose their password in the clear (or nearly). This add one
4032
roundtrip in case basic authentication should be used, but plug the
4033
security hole.
4034
(Vincent Ladeuil)
4035
4036
* Handle http and proxy digest authentication.
4037
(Vincent Ladeuil, #94034).
4038
4039
TESTING:
4040
4041
* Added ``bzrlib.strace.strace`` which will strace a single callable and
4042
return a StraceResult object which contains just the syscalls involved
4043
in running it. (Robert Collins)
4044
4045
* New test method ``reduceLockdirTimeout`` to drop the default (ui-centric)
4046
default time down to one suitable for tests. (Andrew Bennetts)
4047
4048
* Add new ``vfs_transport_factory`` attribute on tests which provides the
4049
common vfs backing for both the readonly and readwrite transports.
4050
This allows the RemoteObject tests to back onto local disk or memory,
4051
and use the existing ``transport_server`` attribute all tests know about
4052
to be the smart server transport. This in turn allows tests to
4053
differentiate between 'transport to access the branch', and
4054
'transport which is a VFS' - which matters in Remote* tests.
4055
(Robert Collins, Andrew Bennetts)
4056
4057
* The ``make_branch_and_tree`` method for tests will now create a
4058
lightweight checkout for the tree if the ``vfs_transport_factory`` is not
4059
a LocalURLServer. (Robert Collins, Andrew Bennetts)
4060
4061
* Branch implementation tests have been audited to ensure that all urls
4062
passed to Branch APIs use proper urls, except when local-disk paths
4063
are intended. This is so that tests correctly access the test transport
4064
which is often not equivalent to local disk in Remote* tests. As part
4065
of this many tests were adjusted to remove dependencies on local disk
4066
access.
4067
(Robert Collins, Andrew Bennetts)
4068
4069
* Mark bzrlib.tests and bzrlib.tests.TestUtil as providing assertFOO helper
4070
functions by adding a ``__unittest`` global attribute. (Robert Collins,
4071
Andrew Bennetts, Martin Pool, Jonathan Lange)
4072
4073
* Refactored proxy and authentication handling to simplify the
4074
implementation of new auth schemes for both http and proxy.

* A warning is now displayed when opening working trees in older

4096
(Martin Pool)
4097
4098
IMPROVEMENTS:
4099
4100
* HTTP redirections are now taken into account when a branch (or a
4101
bundle) is accessed for the first time. A message is issued at each
4102
redirection to inform the user. In the past, http redirections were
4103
silently followed for each request which significantly degraded the
4104
performances. The http redirections are not followed anymore by
4105
default, instead a RedirectRequested exception is raised. For bzrlib
4106
users needing to follow http redirections anyway,
4107
``bzrlib.transport.do_catching_redirections`` provide an easy transition
4108
path. (vila)
4109
4110
INTERNALS:
4111
4112
* Added ``ReadLock.temporary_write_lock()`` to allow upgrading an OS read
4113
lock to an OS write lock. Linux can do this without unlocking, Win32
4114
needs to unlock in between. (John Arbash Meinel)
4115
4116
* New parameter ``recommend_upgrade`` to ``BzrDir.open_workingtree``
4117
to silence (when false) warnings about opening old formats.
4118
(Martin Pool)
4119
4120
* Fix minor performance regression with bzr-0.15 on pre-dirstate
4121
trees. (We were reading the working inventory too many times).
4122
(John Arbash Meinel)
4123
4124
* Remove ``Branch.get_transaction()`` in favour of a simple cache of
4125
``revision_history``. Branch subclasses should override
4126
``_gen_revision_history`` rather than ``revision_history`` to make use of
4127
this cache, and call ``_clear_revision_history_cache`` and
4128
``_cache_revision_history`` at appropriate times. (Andrew Bennetts)
4129
4130
BUGFIXES:
4131
4132
* Take ``smtp_server`` from user config into account.

* Restore Unicode filename handling for versioned and unversioned files.
4136
(John Arbash Meinel, #92608)
4137
4138
* Don't fail during ``bzr commit`` if a file is marked removed, and
4139
the containing directory is auto-removed. (John Arbash Meinel, #93681)
4140
4141
* ``bzr status FILENAME`` failed on Windows because of an uncommon
4142

* ``bzr checkout source`` should create a local branch in the same
4146
format as source. (John Arbash Meinel, #93854)
4147
4148
* ``bzr commit`` with a kind change was failing to update the
4149
last-changed-revision for directories. The
4150
InventoryDirectory._unchanged only looked at the ``parent_id`` and name,
4151
ignoring the fact that the kind could have changed, too.
4152
(John Arbash Meinel, #90111)
4153
4154
* ``bzr mv dir/subdir other`` was incorrectly updating files inside
4155
the directory. So that there was a chance it would break commit,
4156
etc. (John Arbash Meinel, #94037)
4157
4158
* Correctly handles mutiple permanent http redirections.

bzr 0.15rc2 2007-03-14
4162
-----------------------
4163
4164
NOTES WHEN UPGRADING:
4165
4166
* Release 0.15rc2 of bzr changes the ``bzr init-repo`` command to
4167
default to ``--trees`` instead of ``--no-trees``.
4168
Existing shared repositories are not affected.
4169
4170
IMPROVEMENTS:
4171
4172
* New ``merge-directive`` command to generate machine- and human-readable
4173
merge requests. (Aaron Bentley)
4174
4175
* New ``submit:`` revision specifier makes it easy to diff against the
4176
common ancestor with the submit location (Aaron Bentley)
4177
4178
* Added support for Putty's SSH implementation. (Dmitry Vasiliev)
4179
4180
* Added ``bzr status --versioned`` to report only versioned files,
4181
not unknowns. (Kent Gibson)
4182
4183
* Merge now autodetects the correct line-ending style for its conflict
4184
markers. (Aaron Bentley)
4185
4186
INTERNALS:
4187
4188
* Refactored SSH vendor registration into SSHVendorManager class.
4189
(Dmitry Vasiliev)
4190
4191
BUGFIXES:
4192
4193
* New ``--numbered-dirs`` option to ``bzr selftest`` to use
4194
numbered dirs for TestCaseInTempDir. This is default behavior
4195
on Windows. Anyone can force named dirs on Windows
4196
with ``--no-numbered-dirs``. (Alexander Belchenko)
4197
4198
* Fix ``RevisionSpec_revid`` to handle the Unicode strings passed in
4199
from the command line. (Marien Zwart, #90501)
4200
4201
* Fix ``TreeTransform._iter_changes`` when both the source and
4202
destination are missing. (Aaron Bentley, #88842)
4203
4204
* Fix commit of merges with symlinks in dirstate trees.
4205
(Marien Zwart)
4206
4207
* Switch the ``bzr init-repo`` default from --no-trees to --trees.

bzr 0.15rc1 2007-03-07
4212
-----------------------
4213
4214
SURPRISES:
4215
4216
* The default disk format has changed. Please run 'bzr upgrade' in your
4217
working trees to upgrade. This new default is compatible for network
4218
operations, but not for local operations. That is, if you have two
4219
versions of bzr installed locally, after upgrading you can only use the
4220
bzr 0.15 version. This new default does not enable tags or nested-trees
4221
as they are incompatible with bzr versions before 0.15 over the network.
4222
4223
* For users of bzrlib: Two major changes have been made to the working tree
4224
api in bzrlib. The first is that many methods and attributes, including
4225
the inventory attribute, are no longer valid for use until one of
4226
``lock_read``/``lock_write``/``lock_tree_write`` has been called,
4227
and become invalid again after unlock is called. This has been done
4228
to improve performance and correctness as part of the dirstate
4229
development.
4230
(Robert Collins, John A Meinel, Martin Pool, and others).
4231
4232
* For users of bzrlib: The attribute 'tree.inventory' should be considered
4233
readonly. Previously it was possible to directly alter this attribute, or
4234
its contents, and have the tree notice this. This has been made
4235
unsupported - it may work in some tree formats, but in the newer dirstate
4236
format such actions will have no effect and will be ignored, or even
4237
cause assertions. All operations possible can still be carried out by a
4238
combination of the tree API, and the bzrlib.transform API. (Robert
4239
Collins, John A Meinel, Martin Pool, and others).
4240
4241
IMPROVEMENTS:
4242
4243
* Support for OS Windows 98. Also .bzr.log on any windows system
4244
saved in My Documents folder. (Alexander Belchenko)
4245
4246
* ``bzr mv`` enhanced to support already moved files.
4247
In the past the mv command would have failed if the source file doesn't
4248
exist. In this situation ``bzr mv`` would now detect that the file has
4249
already moved and update the repository accordingly, if the target file
4250
does exist.
4251
A new option ``--after`` has been added so that if two files already
4252
exist, you could notify Bazaar that you have moved a (versioned) file
4253
and replaced it with another. Thus in this case ``bzr move --after``
4254
will only update the Bazaar identifier.
4255
(Steffen Eichenberg, Marius Kruger)
4256
4257
* ``ls`` now works on treeless branches and remote branches.
4258
(Aaron Bentley)
4259
4260
* ``bzr help global-options`` describes the global options.
4261
(Aaron Bentley)
4262
4263
* ``bzr pull --overwrite`` will now correctly overwrite checkouts.
4264
(Robert Collins)
4265
4266
* Files are now allowed to change kind (e.g. from file to symlink).
4267
Supported by ``commit``, ``revert`` and ``status``
4268
(Aaron Bentley)
4269
4270
* ``inventory`` and ``unknowns`` hidden in favour of ``ls``
4271
(Aaron Bentley)
4272
4273
* ``bzr help checkouts`` descibes what checkouts are and some possible
4274
uses of them. (James Westby, Aaron Bentley)
4275
4276
* A new ``-d`` option to push, pull and merge overrides the default
4277
directory. (Martin Pool)
4278
4279
* Branch format 6: smaller, and potentially faster than format 5. Supports
4280
``append_history_only`` mode, where the log view and revnos do not change,
4281
except by being added to. Stores policy settings in
4282
".bzr/branch/branch.conf".
4283
4284
* ``append_only`` branches: Format 6 branches may be configured so that log
4285
view and revnos are always consistent. Either create the branch using
4286
"bzr init --append-revisions-only" or edit the config file as descriped
4287
in docs/configuration.txt.
4288
4289
* rebind: Format 6 branches retain the last-used bind location, so if you
4290
"bzr unbind", you can "bzr bind" to bind to the previously-selected
4291
bind location.
4292
4293
* Builtin tags support, created and deleted by the ``tag`` command and
4294
stored in the branch. Tags can be accessed with the revisionspec
4295
``-rtag:``, and listed with ``bzr tags``. Tags are not versioned
4296
at present. Tags require a network incompatible upgrade. To perform this
4297
upgrade, run ``bzr upgrade --dirstate-tags`` in your branch and
4298
repositories. (Martin Pool)
4299
4300
* The ``bzr://`` transport now has a well-known port number, 4155,
4301
which it will use by default. (Andrew Bennetts, Martin Pool)
4302
4303
* Bazaar now looks for user-installed plugins before looking for site-wide
4304
plugins. (Jonathan Lange)
4305
4306
* ``bzr resolve`` now detects and marks resolved text conflicts.
4307
(Aaron Bentley)
4308
4309
INTERNALS:
4310
4311
* Internally revision ids and file ids are now passed around as utf-8
4312
bytestrings, rather than treating them as Unicode strings. This has
4313
performance benefits for Knits, since we no longer need to decode the
4314
revision id for each line of content, nor for each entry in the index.
4315
This will also help with the future dirstate format.
4316
(John Arbash Meinel)
4317
4318
* Reserved ids (any revision-id ending in a colon) are rejected by
4319
versionedfiles, repositories, branches, and working trees
4320
(Aaron Bentley)
4321
4322
* Minor performance improvement by not creating a ProgressBar for
4323
every KnitIndex we create. (about 90ms for a bzr.dev tree)
4324
(John Arbash Meinel)
4325
4326
* New easier to use Branch hooks facility. There are five initial hooks,
4327
all documented in bzrlib.branch.BranchHooks.__init__ - ``'set_rh'``,
4328
``'post_push'``, ``'post_pull'``, ``'post_commit'``,
4329
``'post_uncommit'``. These hooks fire after the matching operation
4330
on a branch has taken place, and were originally added for the
4331
branchrss plugin. (Robert Collins)
4332
4333
* New method ``Branch.push()`` which should be used when pushing from a
4334
branch as it makes performance and policy decisions to match the UI
4335
level command ``push``. (Robert Collins).
4336
4337
* Add a new method ``Tree.revision_tree`` which allows access to cached
4338
trees for arbitrary revisions. This allows the in development dirstate
4339
tree format to provide access to the callers to cached copies of
4340
inventory data which are cheaper to access than inventories from the
4341
repository.
4342
(Robert Collins, Martin Pool)
4343
4344
* New ``Branch.last_revision_info`` method, this is being done to allow
4345
optimization of requests for both the number of revisions and the last
4346
revision of a branch with smartservers and potentially future branch
4347
formats. (Wouter van Heyst, Robert Collins)
4348
4349
* Allow ``'import bzrlib.plugins.NAME'`` to work when the plugin NAME has not
4350
yet been loaded by ``load_plugins()``. This allows plugins to depend on each
4351
other for code reuse without requiring users to perform file-renaming
4352
gymnastics. (Robert Collins)
4353
4354
* New Repository method ``'gather_stats'`` for statistic data collection.
4355
This is expected to grow to cover a number of related uses mainly
4356
related to bzr info. (Robert Collins)
4357
4358
* Log formatters are now managed with a registry.
4359
``log.register_formatter`` continues to work, but callers accessing
4360
the FORMATTERS dictionary directly will not.
4361
4362
* Allow a start message to be passed to the ``edit_commit_message``
4363
function. This will be placed in the message offered to the user
4364
for editing above the separator. It allows a template commit message
4365
to be used more easily. (James Westby)
4366
4367
* ``GPGStrategy.sign()`` will now raise ``BzrBadParameterUnicode`` if
4368
you pass a Unicode string rather than an 8-bit string. Callers need
4369
to be updated to encode first. (John Arbash Meinel)
4370
4371
* Branch.push, pull, merge now return Result objects with information
4372
about what happened, rather than a scattering of various methods. These
4373
are also passed to the post hooks. (Martin Pool)
4374
4375
* File formats and architecture is in place for managing a forest of trees
4376
in bzr, and splitting up existing trees into smaller subtrees, and
4377
finally joining trees to make a larger tree. This is the first iteration
4378
of this support, and the user-facing aspects still require substantial
4379
work. If you wish to experiment with it, use ``bzr upgrade
4380
--dirstate-with-subtree`` in your working trees and repositories.
4381
You can use the hidden commands ``split`` and ``join`` and to create
4382
and manipulate nested trees, but please consider using the nested-trees
4383
branch, which contains substantial UI improvements, instead.
4384
http://code.aaronbentley.com/bzr/bzrrepo/nested-trees/
4385
(Aaron Bentley, Martin Pool, Robert Collins).
4386
4387
BUGFIXES:
4388
4389
* ``bzr annotate`` now uses dotted revnos from the viewpoint of the
4390
branch, rather than the last changed revision of the file.
4391
(John Arbash Meinel, #82158)
4392
4393
* Lock operations no longer hang if they encounter a permission problem.
4394
(Aaron Bentley)
4395
4396
* ``bzr push`` can resume a push that was canceled before it finished.
4397
Also, it can push even if the target directory exists if you supply
4398
the ``--use-existing-dir`` flag.
4399
(John Arbash Meinel, #30576, #45504)
4400
4401
* Fix http proxy authentication when user and an optional
4402
password appears in the ``*_proxy`` vars. (Vincent Ladeuil,
4403
#83954).
4404
4405
* ``bzr log branch/file`` works for local treeless branches
4406
(Aaron Bentley, #84247)
4407
4408
* Fix problem with UNC paths on Windows 98. (Alexander Belchenko, #84728)
4409
4410
* Searching location of CA bundle for PyCurl in env variable
4411
(``CURL_CA_BUNDLE``), and on win32 along the PATH.
4412
(Alexander Belchenko, #82086)
4413
4414
* ``bzr init`` works with unicode argument LOCATION.
4415
(Alexander Belchenko, #85599)
4416
4417
* Raise ``DependencyNotPresent`` if pycurl do not support https.
4418
(Vincent Ladeuil, #85305)
4419
4420
* Invalid proxy env variables should not cause a traceback.
4421
(Vincent Ladeuil, #87765)
4422
4423
* Ignore patterns normalised to use '/' path separator.
4424
(Kent Gibson, #86451)
4425
4426
* bzr rocks. It sure does! Fix case. (Vincent Ladeuil, #78026)
4427
4428
* Fix bzrtools shelve command for removed lines beginning with "--"
4429
(Johan Dahlberg, #75577)
4430
4431
TESTING:
4432
4433
* New ``--first`` option to ``bzr selftest`` to run specified tests
4434
before the rest of the suite. (Martin Pool)

4440
IMPROVEMENTS:
4441
4442
* ``bzr help global-options`` describes the global options. (Aaron Bentley)
4443
4444
BUG FIXES:
4445
4446
* Skip documentation generation tests if the tools to do so are not
4447
available. Fixes running selftest for installled copies of bzr.
4448
(John Arbash Meinel, #80330)
4449
4450
* Fix the code that discovers whether bzr is being run from it's
4451
working tree to handle the case when it isn't but the directory
4452
it is in is below a repository. (James Westby, #77306)

4455
bzr 0.14rc1 2007-01-16
4456
-----------------------
4457
4458
IMPROVEMENTS:
4459
4460
* New connection: ``bzr+http://`` which supports tunnelling the smart
4461
protocol over an HTTP connection. If writing is enabled on the bzr
4462
server, then you can write over the http connection.
4463
(Andrew Bennetts, John Arbash Meinel)
4464
4465
* Aliases now support quotation marks, so they can contain whitespace
4466
(Marius Kruger)
4467
4468
* PyCurlTransport now use a single curl object. By specifying explicitly
4469
the 'Range' header, we avoid the need to use two different curl objects
4470
(and two connections to the same server). (Vincent Ladeuil)
4471
4472
* ``bzr commit`` does not prompt for a message until it is very likely to
4473
succeed. (Aaron Bentley)
4474
4475
* ``bzr conflicts`` now takes --text to list pathnames of text conflicts
4476
(Aaron Bentley)
4477
4478
* Fix ``iter_lines_added_or_present_in_versions`` to use a set instead
4479
of a list while checking if a revision id was requested. Takes 10s
4480
off of the ``fileids_affected_by_revision_ids`` time, which is 10s
4481
of the ``bzr branch`` time. Also improve ``fileids_...`` time by
4482
filtering lines with a regex rather than multiple ``str.find()``
4483
calls. (saves another 300ms) (John Arbash Meinel)
4484
4485
* Policy can be set for each configuration key. This allows keys to be
4486
inherited properly across configuration entries. For example, this
4487
should enable you to do::
4488
4489
[/home/user/project]
4490
push_location = sftp://host/srv/project/
4491
push_location:policy = appendpath
4492
4493
And then a branch like ``/home/user/project/mybranch`` should get an
4494
automatic push location of ``sftp://host/srv/project/mybranch``.
4495
(James Henstridge)
4496
4497
* Added ``bzr status --short`` to make status report svn style flags
4498
for each file. For example::
4499
4500
$ bzr status --short
4501
A foo
4502
A bar
4503
D baz
4504
? wooley
4505
4506
* 'bzr selftest --clean-output' allows easily clean temporary tests
4507
directories without running tests. (Alexander Belchenko)
4508
4509
* ``bzr help hidden-commands`` lists all hidden commands. (Aaron Bentley)
4510
4511
* ``bzr merge`` now has an option ``--pull`` to fall back to pull if
4512
local is fully merged into remote. (Jan Hudec)
4513
4514
* ``bzr help formats`` describes available directory formats. (Aaron Bentley)
4515
4516
INTERNALS:
4517
4518
* A few tweaks directly to ``fileids_affected_by_revision_ids`` to
4519
help speed up processing, as well allowing to extract unannotated
4520
lines. Between the two ``fileids_affected_by_revision_ids`` is
4521
improved by approx 10%. (John Arbash Meinel)
4522
4523
* Change Revision serialization to only write out millisecond
4524
resolution. Rather than expecting floating point serialization to
4525
preserve more resolution than we need. (Henri Weichers, Martin Pool)
4526
4527
* Test suite ends cleanly on Windows. (Vincent Ladeuil)
4528
4529
* When ``encoding_type`` attribute of class Command is equal to 'exact',
4530
force sys.stdout to be a binary stream on Windows, and therefore
4531
keep exact line-endings (without LF -> CRLF conversion).
4532
(Alexander Belchenko)
4533
4534
* Single-letter short options are no longer globally declared. (Martin
4535
Pool)
4536
4537
* Before using detected user/terminal encoding bzr should check
4538
that Python has corresponding codec. (Alexander Belchenko)
4539
4540
* Formats for end-user selection are provided via a FormatRegistry (Aaron Bentley)
4541
4542
BUG FIXES:
4543
4544
* ``bzr missing --verbose`` was showing adds/removals in the wrong
4545
direction. (John Arbash Meinel)
4546
4547
* ``bzr annotate`` now defaults to showing dotted revnos for merged
4548
revisions. It cuts them off at a depth of 12 characters, but you can
4549
supply ``--long`` to see the full number. You can also use
4550
``--show-ids`` to display the original revision ids, rather than
4551
revision numbers and committer names. (John Arbash Meinel, #75637)
4552
4553
* bzr now supports Win32 UNC path (e.g. ``\HOST\path``.
4554
(Alexander Belchenko, #57869)
4555
4556
* Win32-specific: output of cat, bundle and diff commands don't mangle
4557
line-endings (Alexander Belchenko, #55276)
4558
4559
* Replace broken fnmatch based ignore pattern matching with custom pattern
4560
matcher.
4561
(Kent Gibson, Jan Hudec #57637)
4562
4563
* pycurl and urllib can detect short reads at different places. Update
4564
the test suite to test more cases. Also detect http error code 416
4565
which was raised for that specific bug. Also enhance the urllib
4566
robustness by detecting invalid ranges (and pycurl's one by detecting
4567
short reads during the initial GET). (Vincent Ladeuil, #73948)
4568
4569
* The urllib connection sharing interacts badly with urllib2
4570
proxy setting (the connections didn't go thru the proxy
4571
anymore). Defining a proper ProxyHandler solves the
4572
problem. (Vincent Ladeuil, #74759)
4573
4574
* Use urlutils to generate relative URLs, not osutils
4575
(Aaron Bentley, #76229)
4576
4577
* ``bzr status`` in a readonly directory should work without giving
4578
lots of errors. (John Arbash Meinel, #76299)
4579
4580
* Mention the revisionspec topic for the revision option help.
4581

* New command ``bzr remove-tree`` allows the removal of the working
4598
tree from a branch.
4599
(Daniel Silverstone)
4600
4601
* urllib uses shared keep-alive connections, so http
4602
operations are substantially faster.
4603
(Vincent Ladeuil, #53654)
4604
4605
* ``bzr export`` allows an optional branch parameter, to export a bzr
4606

4607
``bzr export bzr.tar.gz http://bazaar-vcs.org/bzr/bzr.dev``
4608
(Daniel Silverstone)
4609
4610
* Added ``bzr help topics`` to the bzr help system. This gives a
4611
location for general information, outside of a specific command.
4612
This includes updates for ``bzr help revisionspec`` the first topic
4613
included. (Goffredo Baroncelli, John Arbash Meinel, #42714)
4614
4615
* WSGI-compatible HTTP smart server. See ``doc/http_smart_server.txt``.
4616
(Andrew Bennetts)
4617
4618
* Knit files will now cache full texts only when the size of the
4619
deltas is as large as the size of the fulltext. (Or after 200
4620
deltas, whichever comes first). This has the most benefit on large
4621
files with small changes, such as the inventory for a large project.
4622
(eg For a project with 2500 files, and 7500 revisions, it changes
4623
the size of inventory.knit from 11MB to 5.4MB) (John Arbash Meinel)
4624
4625
INTERNALS:
4626
4627
* New -D option given before the command line turns on debugging output
4628
for particular areas. -Derror shows tracebacks on all errors.
4629
(Martin Pool)
4630
4631
* Clean up ``bzr selftest --benchmark bundle`` to correct an import,
4632
and remove benchmarks that take longer than 10min to run.
4633
(John Arbash Meinel)
4634
4635
* Use ``time.time()`` instead of ``time.clock()`` to decide on
4636
progress throttling. Because ``time.clock()`` is actually CPU time,
4637
so over a high-latency connection, too many updates get throttled.
4638
(John Arbash Meinel)
4639
4640
* ``MemoryTransport.list_dir()`` would strip the first character for
4641
files or directories in root directory. (John Arbash Meinel)
4642
4643
* New method ``get_branch_reference`` on 'BzrDir' allows the detection of
4644
branch references - which the smart server component needs.
4645
4646
* New ``ChrootTransportDecorator``, accessible via the ``chroot+`` url
4647
prefix. It disallows any access to locations above a set URL. (Andrew
4648
Bennetts)
4649
4650
BUG FIXES:
4651
4652
* Now ``_KnitIndex`` properly decode revision ids when loading index data.
4653
And optimize the knit index parsing code.
4654
(Dmitry Vasiliev, John Arbash Meinel)
4655
4656
* ``bzrlib/bzrdir.py`` was directly referencing ``bzrlib.workingtree``,
4657
without importing it. This prevented ``bzr upgrade`` from working
4658
unless a plugin already imported ``bzrlib.workingtree``
4659
(John Arbash Meinel, #70716)
4660
4661
* Suppress the traceback on invalid URLs (Vincent Ladeuil, #70803).
4662
4663
* Give nicer error message when an http server returns a 403
4664
error code. (Vincent Ladeuil, #57644).
4665
4666
* When a multi-range http GET request fails, try a single
4667
range one. If it fails too, forget about ranges. Remember that until
4668
the death of the transport and propagates that to the clones.
4669
(Vincent Ladeuil, #62276, #62029).
4670
4671
* Handles user/passwords supplied in url from command
4672
line (for the urllib implementation). Don't request already
4673
known passwords (Vincent Ladeuil, #42383, #44647, #48527)
4674
4675
* ``_KnitIndex.add_versions()`` dictionary compresses revision ids as they
4676
are added. This fixes bug where fetching remote revisions records
4677
them as full references rather than integers.
4678
(John Arbash Meinel, #64789)
4679
4680
* ``bzr ignore`` strips trailing slashes in patterns.
4681
Also ``bzr ignore`` rejects absolute paths. (Kent Gibson, #4559)
4682
4683
* ``bzr ignore`` takes multiple arguments. (Cheuksan Edward Wang, #29488)
4684
4685
* mv correctly handles paths that traverse symlinks.
4686
(Aaron Bentley, #66964)
4687
4688
* Give nicer looking error messages when failing to connect over ssh.
4689
(John Arbash Meinel, #49172)
4690
4691
* Pushing to a remote branch does not currently update the remote working
4692
tree. After a remote push, ``bzr status`` and ``bzr diff`` on the remote
4693
machine now show that the working tree is out of date.
4694
(Cheuksan Edward Wang #48136)
4695
4696
* Use patiencediff instead of difflib for determining deltas to insert
4697
into knits. This avoids the O(N^3) behavior of difflib. Patience
4698
diff should be O(N^2). (Cheuksan Edward Wang, #65714)
4699
4700
* Running ``bzr log`` on nonexistent file gives an error instead of the
4701
entire log history. (Cheuksan Edward Wang #50793)
4702
4703
* ``bzr cat`` can look up contents of removed or renamed files. If the
4704
pathname is ambiguous, i.e. the files in the old and new trees have
4705
different id's, the default is the file in the new tree. The user can
4706
use "--name-from-revision" to select the file in the old tree.
4707
(Cheuksan Edward Wang, #30190)
4708
4709
TESTING:
4710
4711
* TestingHTTPRequestHandler really handles the Range header
4712
(previously it was ignoring it and returning the whole file,).

4715
--------------------
4716
4717
INTERNALS:
4718
4719
* Clean up ``bzr selftest --benchmark bundle`` to correct an import,
4720
and remove benchmarks that take longer than 10min to run.

4723
bzr 0.12rc1 2006-10-23
4724
-----------------------
4725
4726
IMPROVEMENTS:
4727
4728
* ``bzr log`` now shows dotted-decimal revision numbers for all revisions,
4729
rather than just showing a decimal revision number for revisions on the
4730
mainline. These revision numbers are not yet accepted as input into bzr
4731
commands such as log, diff etc. (Robert Collins)
4732
4733
* revisions can now be specified using dotted-decimal revision numbers.
4734
For instance, ``bzr diff -r 1.2.1..1.2.3``. (Robert Collins)
4735
4736
* ``bzr help commands`` output is now shorter (Aaron Bentley)
4737
4738
* ``bzr`` now uses lazy importing to reduce the startup time. This has
4739
a moderate effect on lots of actions, especially ones that have
4740
little to do. For example ``bzr rocks`` time is down to 116ms from
4741
283ms. (John Arbash Meinel)
4742
4743
* New Registry class to provide name-to-object registry-like support,
4744
for example for schemes where plugins can register new classes to
4745
do certain tasks (e.g. log formatters). Also provides lazy registration
4746
to allow modules to be loaded on request.
4747
(John Arbash Meinel, Adeodato Simó)
4748
4749
API INCOMPATABILITY:
4750
4751
* LogFormatter subclasses show now expect the 'revno' parameter to
4752
show() to be a string rather than an int. (Robert Collins)
4753
4754
INTERNALS:
4755
4756
* ``TestCase.run_bzr``, ``run_bzr_captured``, and ``run_bzr_subprocess``
4757
can take a ``working_dir='foo'`` parameter, which will change directory
4758
for the command. (John Arbash Meinel)
4759
4760
* ``bzrlib.lazy_regex.lazy_compile`` can be used to create a proxy
4761
around a regex, which defers compilation until first use.
4762
(John Arbash Meinel)
4763
4764
* ``TestCase.run_bzr_subprocess`` defaults to supplying the
4765
``--no-plugins`` parameter to ensure test reproducability, and avoid
4766
problems with system-wide installed plugins. (John Arbash Meinel)
4767
4768
* Unique tree root ids are now supported. Newly created trees still
4769
use the common root id for compatibility with bzr versions before 0.12.
4770
(Aaron Bentley)
4771
4772
* ``WorkingTree.set_root_id(None)`` is now deprecated. Please
4773
pass in ``inventory.ROOT_ID`` if you want the default root id value.
4774
(Robert Collins, John Arbash Meinel)
4775
4776
* New method ``WorkingTree.flush()`` which will write the current memory
4777
inventory out to disk. At the same time, ``read_working_inventory`` will
4778
no longer trash the current tree inventory if it has been modified within
4779
the current lock, and the tree will now ``flush()`` automatically on
4780
``unlock()``. ``WorkingTree.set_root_id()`` has been updated to take
4781
advantage of this functionality. (Robert Collins, John Arbash Meinel)
4782
4783
* ``bzrlib.tsort.merge_sorted`` now accepts ``generate_revnos``. This
4784
parameter will cause it to add another column to its output, which
4785
contains the dotted-decimal revno for each revision, as a tuple.
4786
(Robert Collins)
4787
4788
* ``LogFormatter.show_merge`` is deprecated in favour of
4789
``LogFormatter.show_merge_revno``. (Robert Collins)
4790
4791
BUG FIXES:
4792
4793
* Avoid circular imports by creating a deprecated function for
4794
``bzrlib.tree.RevisionTree``. Callers should have been using
4795
``bzrlib.revisontree.RevisionTree`` anyway. (John Arbash Meinel,
4796
#63360, #66349)
4797
4798
* Don't use ``socket.MSG_WAITALL`` as it doesn't exist on all
4799
platforms. (Martin Pool, #66356)
4800
4801
* Don't require ``Content-Type`` in range responses. Assume they are a
4802
single range if ``Content-Type`` does not exist.
4803
(John Arbash Meinel, #62473)
4804
4805
* bzr branch/pull no longer complain about progress bar cleanup when
4806
interrupted during fetch. (Aaron Bentley, #54000)
4807
4808
* ``WorkingTree.set_parent_trees()`` uses the trees to directly write
4809
the basis inventory, rather than going through the repository. This
4810
allows us to have 1 inventory read, and 2 inventory writes when
4811
committing a new tree. (John Arbash Meinel)
4812
4813
* When reverting, files that are not locally modified that do not exist
4814
in the target are deleted, not just unversioned (Aaron Bentley)
4815
4816
* When trying to acquire a lock, don't fail immediately. Instead, try
4817
a few times (up to 1 hour) before timing out. Also, report why the
4818
lock is unavailable (John Arbash Meinel, #43521, #49556)
4819
4820
* Leave HttpTransportBase daughter classes decides how they
4821
implement cloning. (Vincent Ladeuil, #61606)
4822
4823
* diff3 does not indicate conflicts on clean merge. (Aaron Bentley)
4824
4825
* If a commit fails, the commit message is stored in a file at the root of
4826
the tree for later commit. (Cheuksan Edward Wang, Stefan Metzmacher,
4827
#32054)
4828
4829
TESTING:
4830
4831
* New test base class TestCaseWithMemoryTransport offers memory-only
4832
testing facilities: its not suitable for tests that need to mutate disk
4833
state, but most tests should not need that and should be converted to
4834
TestCaseWithMemoryTransport. (Robert Collins)
4835
4836
* ``TestCase.make_branch_and_memory_tree`` now takes a format
4837
option to set the BzrDir, Repository and Branch formats of the
4838
created objects. (Robert Collins, John Arbash Meinel)
4839
4840
bzr 0.11 2006-10-02

4856
-----------------------
4857
4858
IMPROVEMENTS:
4859
4860
* Knit files now wait to create their contents until the first data is
4861
added. The old code used to create an empty .knit and a .kndx with just
4862
the header. However, this caused a lot of extra round trips over sftp.
4863
This can change the time for ``bzr push`` to create a new remote branch
4864
from 160s down to 100s. This also affects ``bzr commit`` performance when
4865
adding new files, ``bzr commit`` on a new kernel-like tree drops from 50s
4866
down to 40s (John Arbash Meinel, #44692)
4867
4868
* When an entire subtree has been deleted, commit will now report that
4869
just the top of the subtree has been deleted, rather than reporting
4870
all the individual items. (Robert Collins)
4871
4872
* Commit performs one less XML parse. (Robert Collins)
4873
4874
* ``bzr checkout`` now operates on readonly branches as well
4875
as readwrite branches. This fixes bug #39542. (Robert Collins)
4876
4877
* ``bzr bind`` no longer synchronises history with the master branch.
4878
Binding should be followed by an update or push to synchronise the
4879
two branches. This is closely related to the fix for bug #39542.
4880
(Robert Collins)
4881
4882
* ``bzrlib.lazy_import.lazy_import`` function to create on-demand
4883
objects. This allows all imports to stay at the global scope, but
4884
modules will not actually be imported if they are not used.
4885
(John Arbash Meinel)
4886
4887
* Support ``bzr://`` and ``bzr+ssh://`` urls to work with the new RPC-based
4888
transport which will be used with the upcoming high-performance smart
4889
server. The new command ``bzr serve`` will invoke bzr in server mode,
4890
which processes these requests. (Andrew Bennetts, Robert Collins, Martin
4891
Pool)
4892
4893
* New command ``bzr version-info`` which can be used to get a summary
4894
of the current state of the tree. This is especially useful as part
4895
of a build commands. See ``doc/version_info.txt`` for more information
4896
(John Arbash Meinel)
4897
4898
BUG FIXES:
4899
4900
* ``'bzr inventory [FILE...]'`` allows restricting the file list to a
4901
specific set of files. (John Arbash Meinel, #3631)
4902
4903
* Don't abort when annotating empty files (John Arbash Meinel, #56814)
4904
4905
* Add ``Stanza.to_unicode()`` which can be passed to another Stanza
4906
when nesting stanzas. Also, add ``read_stanza_unicode`` to handle when
4907
reading a nested Stanza. (John Arbash Meinel)
4908
4909
* Transform._set_mode() needs to stat the right file.
4910
(John Arbash Meinel, #56549)
4911
4912
* Raise WeaveFormatError rather than StopIteration when trying to read
4913
an empty Weave file. (John Arbash Meinel, #46871)
4914
4915
* Don't access e.code for generic URLErrors, only HTTPErrors have .code.
4916
(Vincent Ladeuil, #59835)
4917
4918
* Handle boundary="" lines properly to allow access through a Squid proxy.
4919
(John Arbash Meinel, #57723)
4920
4921
* revert now removes newly-added directories (Aaron Bentley, #54172)
4922
4923
* ``bzr upgrade sftp://`` shouldn't fail to upgrade v6 branches if there
4924
isn't a working tree. (David Allouche, #40679)
4925
4926
* Give nicer error messages when a user supplies an invalid --revision
4927
parameter. (John Arbash Meinel, #55420)
4928
4929
* Handle when LANG is not recognized by python. Emit a warning, but
4930
just revert to using 'ascii'. (John Arbash Meinel, #35392)
4931
4932
* Don't use ``preexec_fn`` on win32, as it is not supported by subprocess.
4933
(John Arbash Meinel)
4934
4935
* Skip specific tests when the dependencies aren't met. This includes
4936
some ``setup.py`` tests when ``python-dev`` is not available, and
4937
some tests that depend on paramiko. (John Arbash Meinel, Mattheiu Moy)
4938
4939
* Fallback to Paramiko properly, if no ``ssh`` executable exists on
4940
the system. (Andrew Bennetts, John Arbash Meinel)
4941
4942
* ``Branch.bind(other_branch)`` no longer takes a write lock on the
4943
other branch, and will not push or pull between the two branches.
4944
API users will need to perform a push or pull or update operation if they
4945
require branch synchronisation to take place. (Robert Collins, #47344)
4946
4947
* When creating a tarball or zipfile export, export unicode names as utf-8
4948
paths. This may not work perfectly on all platforms, but has the best
4949
chance of working in the common case. (John Arbash Meinel, #56816)
4950
4951
* When committing, only files that exist in working tree or basis tree
4952
may be specified (Aaron Bentley, #50793)
4953
4954
PORTABILITY:
4955
4956
* Fixes to run on Python 2.5 (Brian M. Carlson, Martin Pool, Marien Zwart)
4957
4958
INTERNALS:
4959
4960
* TestCaseInTempDir now creates a separate directory for HOME, rather
4961
than having HOME set to the same location as the working directory.
4962
(John Arbash Meinel)
4963
4964
* ``run_bzr_subprocess()`` can take an optional ``env_changes={}`` parameter,
4965
which will update os.environ inside the spawned child. It also can
4966
take a ``universal_newlines=True``, which helps when checking the output
4967
of the command. (John Arbash Meinel)
4968
4969
* Refactor SFTP vendors to allow easier re-use when ssh is used.
4970
(Andrew Bennetts)
4971
4972
* ``Transport.list_dir()`` and ``Transport.iter_files_recursive()`` should always
4973
return urlescaped paths. This is now tested (there were bugs in a few
4974
of the transports) (Andrew Bennetts, David Allouche, John Arbash Meinel)
4975
4976
* New utility function ``symbol_versioning.deprecation_string``. Returns the
4977
formatted string for a callable, deprecation format pair. (Robert Collins)
4978
4979
* New TestCase helper applyDeprecated. This allows you to call a callable
4980
which is deprecated without it spewing to the screen, just by supplying
4981
the deprecation format string issued for it. (Robert Collins)
4982
4983
* Transport.append and Transport.put have been deprecated in favor of
4984
``.append_bytes``, ``.append_file``, ``.put_bytes``, and
4985
``.put_file``. This removes the ambiguity in what type of object the
4986
functions take. ``Transport.non_atomic_put_{bytes,file}`` has also
4987
been added. Which works similarly to ``Transport.append()`` except for
4988
SFTP, it doesn't have a round trip when opening the file. Also, it
4989
provides functionality for creating a parent directory when trying
4990
to create a file, rather than raise NoSuchFile and forcing the
4991
caller to repeat their request.
4992
(John Arbash Meinel)
4993
4994
* WorkingTree has a new api ``unversion`` which allow the unversioning of
4995
entries by their file id. (Robert Collins)
4996
4997
* ``WorkingTree.pending_merges`` is deprecated. Please use the
4998
``get_parent_ids`` (introduced in 0.10) method instead. (Robert Collins)
4999
5000
* WorkingTree has a new ``lock_tree_write`` method which locks the branch for
5001
read rather than write. This is appropriate for actions which only need
5002
the branch data for reference rather than mutation. A new decorator
5003
``needs_tree_write_lock`` is provided in the workingtree module. Like the
5004
``needs_read_lock`` and ``needs_write_lock`` decorators this allows static
5005
declaration of the locking requirements of a function to ensure that
5006
a lock is taken out for casual scripts. (Robert Collins, #54107)
5007
5008
* All WorkingTree methods which write to the tree, but not to the branch
5009
have been converted to use ``needs_tree_write_lock`` rather than
5010
``needs_write_lock``. Also converted is the revert, conflicts and tree
5011
transform modules. This provides a modest performance improvement on
5012
metadir style trees, due to the reduce lock-acquisition, and a more
5013
significant performance improvement on lightweight checkouts from
5014
remote branches, where trivial operations used to pay a significant
5015
penalty. It also provides the basis for allowing readonly checkouts.
5016
(Robert Collins)
5017
5018
* Special case importing the standard library 'copy' module. This shaves
5019
off 40ms of startup time, while retaining compatibility. See:
5020
``bzrlib/inspect_for_copy.py`` for more details. (John Arbash Meinel)
5021
5022
* WorkingTree has a new parent class MutableTree which represents the
5023
specialisations of Tree which are able to be altered. (Robert Collins)
5024
5025
* New methods mkdir and ``put_file_bytes_non_atomic`` on MutableTree that
5026
mutate the tree and its contents. (Robert Collins)
5027
5028
* Transport behaviour at the root of the URL is now defined and tested.
5029
(Andrew Bennetts, Robert Collins)
5030
5031
TESTING:
5032
5033
* New test helper classs MemoryTree. This is typically accessed via
5034
``self.make_branch_and_memory_tree()`` in test cases. (Robert Collins)
5035
5036
* Add ``start_bzr_subprocess`` and ``stop_bzr_subprocess`` to allow test
5037
code to continue running concurrently with a subprocess of bzr.

* Add a new method ``Transport.get_smart_client()``. This is provided to
5041
allow upgrades to a richer interface than the VFS one provided by
5042
Transport. (Andrew Bennetts, Martin Pool)
5043
5044
bzr 0.10 2006-08-29
5045
--------------------
5046
5047
IMPROVEMENTS:
5048
* 'merge' now takes --uncommitted, to apply uncommitted changes from a
5049
tree. (Aaron Bentley)
5050
5051
* 'bzr add --file-ids-from' can be used to specify another path to use
5052
for creating file ids, rather than generating all new ones. Internally,
5053
the 'action' passed to ``smart_add_tree()`` can return ``file_ids`` that
5054
will be used, rather than having bzrlib generate new ones.
5055
(John Arbash Meinel, #55781)
5056
5057
* ``bzr selftest --benchmark`` now allows a ``--cache-dir`` parameter.
5058
This will cache some of the intermediate trees, and decrease the
5059
setup time for benchmark tests. (John Arbash Meinel)
5060
5061
* Inverse forms are provided for all boolean options. For example,
5062
--strict has --no-strict, --no-recurse has --recurse (Aaron Bentley)
5063
5064
* Serialize out Inventories directly, rather than using ElementTree.
5065
Writing out a kernel sized inventory drops from 2s down to ~350ms.
5066
(Robert Collins, John Arbash Meinel)
5067
5068
BUG FIXES:
5069
5070
* Help diffutils 2.8.4 get along with binary tests (Marien Zwart: #57614)
5071
5072
* Change LockDir so that if the lock directory doesn't exist when
5073
``lock_write()`` is called, an attempt will be made to create it.
5074
(John Arbash Meinel, #56974)
5075
5076
* ``bzr uncommit`` preserves pending merges. (John Arbash Meinel, #57660)
5077
5078
* Active FTP transport now works as intended. (ghozzy, #56472)
5079
5080
* Really fix mutter() so that it won't ever raise a UnicodeError.
5081
It means it is possible for ~/.bzr.log to contain non UTF-8 characters.
5082
But it is a debugging log, not a real user file.
5083
(John Arbash Meinel, #56947, #53880)
5084
5085
* Change Command handle to allow Unicode command and options.
5086
At present we cannot register Unicode command names, so we will get
5087
BzrCommandError('unknown command'), or BzrCommandError('unknown option')
5088
But that is better than a UnicodeError + a traceback.
5089
(John Arbash Meinel, #57123)
5090
5091
* Handle TZ=UTC properly when reading/writing revisions.
5092
(John Arbash Meinel, #55783, #56290)
5093
5094
* Use ``GPG_TTY`` to allow gpg --cl to work with gpg-agent in a pipeline,
5095
(passing text to sign in on stdin). (John Arbash Meinel, #54468)
5096
5097
* External diff does the right thing for binaries even in foreign
5098
languages. (John Arbash Meinel, #56307)
5099
5100
* Testament handles more cases when content is unicode. Specific bug was
5101
in handling of revision properties.
5102
(John Arbash Meinel, Holger Krekel, #54723)
5103
5104
* The bzr selftest was failing on installed versions due to a bug in a new
5105
test helper. (John Arbash Meinel, Robert Collins, #58057)
5106
5107
INTERNALS:
5108
5109
* ``bzrlib.cache_utf8`` contains ``encode()`` and ``decode()`` functions
5110
which can be used to cache the conversion between utf8 and Unicode.
5111
Especially helpful for some of the knit annotation code, which has to
5112
convert revision ids to utf8 to annotate lines in storage.
5113
(John Arbash Meinel)
5114
5115
* ``setup.py`` now searches the filesystem to find all packages which
5116
need to be installed. This should help make the life of packagers
5117
easier. (John Arbash Meinel)
5118
5119
bzr 0.9.0 2006-08-11
5120
---------------------
5121
5122
SURPRISES:
5123
5124
* The hard-coded built-in ignore rules have been removed. There are
5125
now two rulesets which are enforced. A user global one in
5126
``~/.bazaar/ignore`` which will apply to every tree, and the tree
5127
specific one '.bzrignore'.
5128
``~/.bazaar/ignore`` will be created if it does not exist, but with
5129
a more conservative list than the old default.
5130
This fixes bugs with default rules being enforced no matter what.
5131
The old list of ignore rules from bzr is available by
5132
running 'bzr ignore --old-default-rules'.
5133
(Robert Collins, Martin Pool, John Arbash Meinel)
5134
5135
* 'branches.conf' has been changed to 'locations.conf', since it can apply
5136
to more locations than just branch locations.
5137
(Aaron Bentley)
5138
5139
IMPROVEMENTS:
5140
5141
* The revision specifier "revno:" is extended to accept the syntax
5142
revno:N:branch. For example,
5143
revno:42:http://bazaar-vcs.org/bzr/bzr.dev/ means revision 42 in
5144
bzr.dev. (Matthieu Moy)
5145
5146
* Tests updates to ensure proper URL handling, UNICODE support, and
5147
proper printing when the user's terminal encoding cannot display
5148
the path of a file that has been versioned.
5149
``bzr branch`` can take a target URL rather than only a local directory.
5150
``Branch.get_parent()/set_parent()`` now save a relative path if possible,
5151
and normalize the parent based on root, allowing access across
5152
different transports. (John Arbash Meinel, Wouter van Heyst, Martin Pool)
5153
(Malone #48906, #42699, #40675, #5281, #3980, #36363, #43689,
5154
#42517, #42514)
5155
5156
* On Unix, detect terminal width using an ioctl not just $COLUMNS.
5157
Use terminal width for single-line logs from ``bzr log --line`` and
5158
pending-merge display. (Robert Widhopf-Fenk, Gustavo Niemeyer)
5159
(Malone #3507)
5160
5161
* On Windows, detect terminal width using GetConsoleScreenBufferInfo.
5162
(Alexander Belchenko)
5163
5164
* Speedup improvement for 'date:'-revision search. (Guillaume Pinot).
5165
5166
* Show the correct number of revisions pushed when pushing a new branch.
5167
(Robert Collins).
5168
5169
* 'bzr selftest' now shows a progress bar with the number of tests, and
5170
progress made. 'make check' shows tests in -v mode, to be more useful
5171
for the PQM status window. (Robert Collins).
5172
When using a progress bar, failed tests are printed out, rather than
5173
being overwritten by the progress bar until the suite finishes.
5174
(John Arbash Meinel)
5175
5176
* 'bzr selftest --benchmark' will run a new benchmarking selftest.
5177
'bzr selftest --benchmark --lsprof-timed' will use lsprofile to generate
5178
profile data for the individual profiled calls, allowing for fine
5179
grained analysis of performance.
5180
(Robert Collins, Martin Pool).
5181
5182
* 'bzr commit' shows a progress bar. This is useful for commits over sftp
5183
where commit can take an appreciable time. (Robert Collins)
5184
5185
* 'bzr add' is now less verbose in telling you what ignore globs were
5186
matched by files being ignored. Instead it just tells you how many
5187
were ignored (because you might reasonably be expecting none to be
5188
ignored). 'bzr add -v' is unchanged and will report every ignored
5189
file. (Robert Collins).
5190
5191
* ftp now has a test server if medusa is installed. As part of testing,
5192
ftp support has been improved, including support for supplying a
5193
non-standard port. (John Arbash Meinel).
5194
5195
* 'bzr log --line' shows the revision number, and uses only the
5196
first line of the log message (#5162, Alexander Belchenko;
5197
Matthieu Moy)
5198
5199
* 'bzr status' has had the --all option removed. The 'bzr ls' command
5200
should be used to retrieve all versioned files. (Robert Collins)
5201
5202
* 'bzr bundle OTHER/BRANCH' will create a bundle which can be sent
5203
over email, and applied on the other end, while maintaining ancestry.
5204
This bundle can be applied with either 'bzr merge' or 'bzr pull',
5205
the same way you would apply another branch.
5206
(John Arbash Meinel, Aaron Bentley)
5207
5208
* 'bzr whoami' can now be used to set your identity from the command line,
5209
for a branch or globally. (Robey Pointer)
5210
5211
* 'bzr checkout' now aliased to 'bzr co', and 'bzr annotate' to 'bzr ann'.
5212
(Michael Ellerman)
5213
5214
* 'bzr revert DIRECTORY' now reverts the contents of the directory as well.
5215
(Aaron Bentley)
5216
5217
* 'bzr get sftp://foo' gives a better error when paramiko is not present.
5218
Also updates things like 'http+pycurl://' if pycurl is not present.
5219
(John Arbash Meinel) (Malone #47821, #52204)
5220
5221
* New env variable ``BZR_PROGRESS_BAR``, sets the default progress bar type.
5222
Can be set to 'none' or 'dummy' to disable the progress bar, 'dots' or
5223
'tty' to create the respective type. (John Arbash Meinel, #42197, #51107)
5224
5225
* Improve the help text for 'bzr diff' to explain what various options do.
5226
(John Arbash Meinel, #6391)
5227
5228
* 'bzr uncommit -r 10' now uncommits revisions 11.. rather than uncommitting
5229
revision 10. This makes -r10 more in line with what other commands do.
5230
'bzr uncommit' also now saves the pending merges of the revisions that
5231
were removed. So it is safe to uncommit after a merge, fix something,
5232
and commit again. (John Arbash Meinel, #32526, #31426)
5233
5234
* 'bzr init' now also works on remote locations.
5235
(Wouter van Heyst, #48904)
5236
5237
* HTTP support has been updated. When using pycurl we now support
5238
connection keep-alive, which reduces dns requests and round trips.
5239
And for both urllib and pycurl we support multi-range requests,
5240
which decreases the number of round-trips. Performance results for
5241
``bzr branch http://bazaar-vcs.org/bzr/bzr.dev/`` indicate
5242
http branching is now 2-3x faster, and ``bzr pull`` in an existing
5243
branch is as much as 4x faster.
5244
(Michael Ellerman, Johan Rydberg, John Arbash Meinel, #46768)
5245
5246
* Performance improvements for sftp. Branching and pulling are now up to
5247
2x faster. Utilize paramiko.readv() support for async requests if it
5248
is available (paramiko > 1.6) (John Arbash Meinel)
5249
5250
BUG FIXES:
5251
5252
* Fix shadowed definition of TestLocationConfig that caused some
5253
tests not to run.
5254
(Erik Bågfors, Michael Ellerman, Martin Pool, #32587)
5255
5256
* Fix unnecessary requirement of sign-my-commits that it be run from
5257
a working directory. (Martin Pool, Robert Collins)
5258
5259
* 'bzr push location' will only remember the push location if it succeeds
5260
in connecting to the remote location. (John Arbash Meinel, #49742)
5261
5262
* 'bzr revert' no longer toggles the executable bit on win32
5263
(John Arbash Meinel, #45010)
5264
5265
* Handle broken pipe under win32 correctly. (John Arbash Meinel)
5266
5267
* sftp tests now work correctly on win32 if you have a newer paramiko
5268
(John Arbash Meinel)
5269
5270
* Cleanup win32 test suite, and general cleanup of places where
5271
file handles were being held open. (John Arbash Meinel)
5272
5273
* When specifying filenames for 'diff -r x..y', the name of the file in the
5274
working directory can be used, even if its name is different in both x
5275
and y.
5276
5277
* File-ids containing single- or double-quotes are handled correctly by
5278
push. (Aaron Bentley, #52227)
5279
5280
* Normalize unicode filenames to ensure cross-platform consistency.
5281
(John Arbash Meinel, #43689)
5282
5283
* The argument parser can now handle '-' as an argument. Currently
5284
no code interprets it specially (it is mostly handled as a file named
5285
'-'). But plugins, and future operations can use it.
5286
(John Arbash meinel, #50984)
5287
5288
* Bundles can properly read binary files with a plain '\r' in them.
5289
(John Arbash Meinel, #51927)
5290
5291
* Tuning ``iter_entries()`` to be more efficient (John Arbash Meinel, #5444)
5292
5293
* Lots of win32 fixes (the test suite passes again).
5294
(John Arbash Meinel, #50155)
5295
5296
* Handle openbsd returning None for sys.getfilesystemencoding() (#41183)
5297
5298
* Support ftp APPE (append) to allow Knits to be used over ftp (#42592)
5299
5300
* Removals are only committed if they match the filespec (or if there is
5301
no filespec). (#46635, Aaron Bentley)
5302
5303
* smart-add recurses through all supplied directories
5304
(John Arbash Meinel, #52578)
5305
5306
* Make the bundle reader extra lines before and after the bundle text.
5307
This allows you to parse an email with the bundle inline.
5308
(John Arbash Meinel, #49182)
5309
5310
* Change the file id generator to squash a little bit more. Helps when
5311
working with long filenames on windows. (Also helps for unicode filenames
5312
not generating hidden files). (John Arbash Meinel, #43801)
5313
5314
* Restore terminal mode on C-c while reading sftp password. (#48923,
5315
Nicholas Allen, Martin Pool)
5316
5317
* Timestamps are rounded to 1ms, and revision entries can be recreated
5318
exactly. (John Arbash Meinel, Jamie Wilkinson, #40693)
5319
5320
* Branch.base has changed to a URL, but ~/.bazaar/locations.conf should
5321
use local paths, since it is user visible (John Arbash Meinel, #53653)
5322
5323
* ``bzr status foo`` when foo was unversioned used to cause a full delta
5324
to be generated (John Arbash Meinel, #53638)
5325
5326
* When reading revision properties, an empty value should be considered
5327
the empty string, not None (John Arbash Meinel, #47782)
5328
5329
* ``bzr diff --diff-options`` can now handle binary files being changed.
5330
Also, the output is consistent when --diff-options is not supplied.
5331
(John Arbash Meinel, #54651, #52930)
5332
5333
* Use the right suffixes for loading plugins (John Arbash Meinel, #51810)
5334
5335
* Fix ``Branch.get_parent()`` to handle the case when the parent is not
5336
accessible (John Arbash Meinel, #52976)
5337
5338
INTERNALS:
5339
5340
* Combine the ignore rules into a single regex rather than looping over
5341
them to reduce the threshold where N^2 behaviour occurs in operations
5342
like status. (Jan Hudec, Robert Collins).
5343
5344
* Appending to ``bzrlib.DEFAULT_IGNORE`` is now deprecated. Instead, use
5345
one of the add functions in bzrlib.ignores. (John Arbash Meinel)
5346
5347
* 'bzr push' should only push the ancestry of the current revision, not
5348
all of the history in the repository. This is especially important for
5349
shared repositories. (John Arbash Meinel)
5350
5351
* ``bzrlib.delta.compare_trees`` now iterates in alphabetically sorted order,
5352
rather than randomly walking the inventories. (John Arbash Meinel)
5353
5354
* Doctests are now run in temporary directories which are cleaned up when
5355
they finish, rather than using special ScratchDir/ScratchBranch objects.
5356
(Martin Pool)
5357
5358
* Split ``check`` into separate methods on the branch and on the repository,
5359
so that it can be specialized in ways that are useful or efficient for
5360
different formats. (Martin Pool, Robert Collins)
5361
5362
* Deprecate ``Repository.all_revision_ids``; most methods don't really need
5363
the global revision graph but only that part leading up to a particular
5364
revision. (Martin Pool, Robert Collins)
5365
5366
* Add a BzrDirFormat ``control_formats`` list which allows for control formats
5367
that do not use '.bzr' to store their data - i.e. '.svn', '.hg' etc.
5368
(Robert Collins, Jelmer Vernooij).
5369
5370
* ``bzrlib.diff.external_diff`` can be redirected to any file-like object.
5371
Uses subprocess instead of spawnvp.
5372
(James Henstridge, John Arbash Meinel, #4047, #48914)
5373
5374
* New command line option '--profile-imports', which will install a custom
5375
importer to log time to import modules and regex compilation time to
5376
sys.stderr (John Arbash Meinel)
5377
5378
* 'EmptyTree' is now deprecated, please use ``repository.revision_tree(None)``
5379
instead. (Robert Collins)
5380
5381
* "RevisionTree" is now in bzrlib/revisiontree.py. (Robert Collins)

5395
* Fix failure to commit a merge in a checkout. (Martin Pool,
5396
Robert Collins, Erik Bågfors, #43959)
5397
5398
* Nicer messages from 'commit' in the case of renames, and correct
5399
messages when a merge has occured. (Robert Collins, Martin Pool)
5400
5401
* Separate functionality from assert statements as they are skipped in
5402
optimized mode of python. Add the same check to pending merges.
5403

* Add info on standalone branches without a working tree.
5410
(Olaf Conradi, #44155)
5411

5413
5414
CHANGES:
5415
5416
* Make editor invocation comply with Debian Policy. First check
5417
environment variables VISUAL and EDITOR, then try editor from
5418
alternatives system. If that all fails, fall back to the pre-defined
5419
list of editors. (Olaf Conradi, #42904)
5420
5421
NEW FEATURES:
5422
5423
* New 'register-branch' command registers a public branch into
5424
Launchpad.net, where it can be associated with bugs, etc.
5425
(Martin Pool, Bjorn Tillenius, Robert Collins)
5426
5427
INTERNALS:
5428
5429
* New public api in InventoryEntry - ``describe_change(old, new)`` which
5430
provides a human description of the changes between two old and
5431
new. (Robert Collins, Martin Pool)
5432
5433
TESTING:
5434
5435
* Fix test case for bzr info in upgrading a standalone branch to metadir,
5436
uses bzrlib api now. (Olaf Conradi)
5437
5438
bzr 0.8 2006-05-08
5439
-------------------
5440
5441
NOTES WHEN UPGRADING:
5442
5443
Release 0.8 of bzr introduces a new format for history storage, called
5444
'knit', as an evolution of to the 'weave' format used in 0.7. Local
5445
and remote operations are faster using knits than weaves. Several
5446
operations including 'init', 'init-repo', and 'upgrade' take a
5447
--format option that controls this. Branching from an existing branch
5448
will keep the same format.
5449
5450
It is possible to merge, pull and push between branches of different
5451
formats but this is slower than moving data between homogenous
5452
branches. It is therefore recommended (but not required) that you
5453
upgrade all branches for a project at the same time. Information on
5454
formats is shown by 'bzr info'.
5455
5456
bzr 0.8 now allows creation of 'repositories', which hold the history
5457
of files and revisions for several branches. Previously bzr kept all
5458
the history for a branch within the .bzr directory at the root of the
5459
branch, and this is still the default. To create a repository, use
5460
the new 'bzr init-repo' command. Branches exist as directories under
5461
the repository and contain just a small amount of information
5462
indicating the current revision of the branch.
5463
5464
bzr 0.8 also supports 'checkouts', which are similar to in cvs and
5465
subversion. Checkouts are associated with a branch (optionally in a
5466
repository), which contains all the historical information. The
5467
result is that a checkout can be deleted without losing any
5468
already-committed revisions. A new 'update' command is also available.
5469
5470
Repositories and checkouts are not supported with the 0.7 storage
5471
format. To use them you must upgrad to either knits, or to the
5472
'metaweave' format, which uses weaves but changes the .bzr directory
5473
arrangement.
5474
5475
5476
IMPROVEMENTS:
5477
5478
* Sftp paths can now be relative, or local, according to the lftp
5479
convention. Paths now take the form::
5480
5481
sftp://user:pass@host:port/~/relative/path
5482
or
5483
sftp://user:pass@host:port/absolute/path
5484
5485
* The FTP transport now tries to reconnect after a temporary
5486
failure. ftp put is made atomic. (Matthieu Moy)
5487
5488
* The FTP transport now maintains a pool of connections, and
5489
reuses them to avoid multiple connections to the same host (like
5490
sftp did). (Daniel Silverstone)
5491
5492
* The ``bzr_man.py`` file has been removed. To create the man page now,
5493
use ``./generate_docs.py man``. The new program can also create other files.
5494
Run ``python generate_docs.py --help`` for usage information.
5495
(Hans Ulrich Niedermann & James Blackwell).
5496
5497
* Man Page now gives full help (James Blackwell).
5498
Help also updated to reflect user config now being stored in .bazaar
5499
(Hans Ulrich Niedermann)
5500
5501
* It's now possible to set aliases in bazaar.conf (Erik Bågfors)
5502
5503
* Pull now accepts a --revision argument (Erik Bågfors)
5504
5505
* ``bzr re-sign`` now allows multiple revisions to be supplied on the command
5506
line. You can now use the following command to sign all of your old
5507
commits::
5508
5509
find .bzr/revision-store// -name my@email-* \
5510
| sed 's/.*\/\/..\///' \
5511
| xargs bzr re-sign
5512
5513
* Upgrade can now upgrade over the network. (Robert Collins)
5514
5515
* Two new commands 'bzr checkout' and 'bzr update' allow for CVS/SVN-alike
5516
behaviour. By default they will cache history in the checkout, but
5517
with --lightweight almost all data is kept in the master branch.
5518
(Robert Collins)
5519
5520
* 'revert' unversions newly-versioned files, instead of deleting them.
5521
5522
* 'merge' is more robust. Conflict messages have changed.
5523
5524
* 'merge' and 'revert' no longer clobber existing files that end in '~' or
5525
'.moved'.
5526
5527
* Default log format can be set in configuration and plugins can register
5528
their own formatters. (Erik Bågfors)
5529
5530
* New 'reconcile' command will check branch consistency and repair indexes
5531
that can become out of sync in pre 0.8 formats. (Robert Collins,
5532
Daniel Silverstone)
5533
5534
* New 'bzr init --format' and 'bzr upgrade --format' option to control
5535
what storage format is created or produced. (Robert Collins,
5536
Martin Pool)
5537
5538
* Add parent location to 'bzr info', if there is one. (Olaf Conradi)
5539
5540
* New developer commands 'weave-list' and 'weave-join'. (Martin Pool)
5541
5542
* New 'init-repository' command, plus support for repositories in 'init'
5543
and 'branch' (Aaron Bentley, Erik Bågfors, Robert Collins)
5544
5545
* Improve output of 'info' command. Show all relevant locations related to
5546
working tree, branch and repository. Use kibibytes for binary quantities.
5547
Fix off-by-one error in missing revisions of working tree. Make 'info'
5548
work on branches, repositories and remote locations. Show locations
5549
relative to the shared repository, if applicable. Show locking status
5550
of locations. (Olaf Conradi)
5551
5552
* Diff and merge now safely handle binary files. (Aaron Bentley)
5553
5554
* 'pull' and 'push' now normalise the revision history, so that any two
5555
branches with the same tip revision will have the same output from 'log'.
5556
(Robert Collins)
5557
5558
* 'merge' accepts --remember option to store parent location, like 'push'
5559
and 'pull'. (Olaf Conradi)
5560
5561
* bzr status and diff when files given as arguments do not exist
5562
in the relevant trees. (Martin Pool, #3619)
5563
5564
* Add '.hg' to the default ignore list. (Martin Pool)
5565
5566
* 'knit' is now the default disk format. This improves disk performance and
5567
utilization, increases incremental pull performance, robustness with SFTP
5568
and allows checkouts over SFTP to perform acceptably.
5569
The initial Knit code was contributed by Johan Rydberg based on a
5570
specification by Martin Pool.
5571
(Robert Collins, Aaron Bentley, Johan Rydberg, Martin Pool).
5572
5573
* New tool to generate all-in-one html version of the manual. (Alexander
5574
Belchenko)
5575
5576
* Hitting CTRL-C while doing an SFTP push will no longer cause stale locks
5577
to be left in the SFTP repository. (Robert Collins, Martin Pool).
5578
5579
* New option 'diff --prefix' to control how files are named in diff
5580
output, with shortcuts '-p0' and '-p1' corresponding to the options for
5581
GNU patch. (Alexander Belchenko, Goffredo Baroncelli, Martin Pool)
5582
5583
* Add --revision option to 'annotate' command. (Olaf Conradi)
5584
5585
* If bzr shows an unexpected revision-history after pulling (perhaps due
5586
to a reweave) it can now be corrected by 'bzr reconcile'.
5587
(Robert Collins)
5588
5589
CHANGES:
5590
5591
* Commit is now verbose by default, and shows changed filenames and the
5592
new revision number. (Robert Collins, Martin Pool)
5593
5594
* Unify 'mv', 'move', 'rename'. (Matthew Fuller, #5379)
5595
5596
* 'bzr -h' shows help. (Martin Pool, Ian Bicking, #35940)
5597
5598
* Make 'pull' and 'push' remember location on failure using --remember.
5599
(Olaf Conradi)
5600
5601
* For compatibility, make old format for using weaves inside metadir
5602
available as 'metaweave' format. Rename format 'metadir' to 'default'.
5603
Clean up help for option --format in commands 'init', 'init-repo' and
5604
'upgrade'. (Olaf Conradi)
5605
5606
INTERNALS:
5607
5608
* The internal storage of history, and logical branch identity have now
5609
been split into Branch, and Repository. The common locking and file
5610
management routines are now in bzrlib.lockablefiles.
5611
(Aaron Bentley, Robert Collins, Martin Pool)
5612
5613
* Transports can now raise DependencyNotPresent if they need a library
5614
which is not installed, and then another implementation will be
5615
tried. (Martin Pool)
5616
5617
* Remove obsolete (and no-op) `decode` parameter to `Transport.get`.
5618
(Martin Pool)
5619
5620
* Using Tree Transform for merge, revert, tree-building
5621
5622
* WorkingTree.create, Branch.create, ``WorkingTree.create_standalone``,
5623
Branch.initialize are now deprecated. Please see ``BzrDir.create_*`` for
5624
replacement API's. (Robert Collins)
5625
5626
* New BzrDir class represents the .bzr control directory and manages
5627
formatting issues. (Robert Collins)
5628
5629
* New repository.InterRepository class encapsulates Repository to
5630
Repository actions and allows for clean selection of optimised code
5631
paths. (Robert Collins)
5632
5633
* ``bzrlib.fetch.fetch`` and ``bzrlib.fetch.greedy_fetch`` are now
5634
deprecated, please use ``branch.fetch`` or ``repository.fetch``
5635
depending on your needs. (Robert Collins)
5636
5637
* deprecated methods now have a ``is_deprecated`` flag on them that can
5638
be checked, if you need to determine whether a given callable is
5639
deprecated at runtime. (Robert Collins)
5640
5641
* Progress bars are now nested - see
5642
``bzrlib.ui.ui_factory.nested_progress_bar``.
5643
(Robert Collins, Robey Pointer)
5644
5645
* New API call ``get_format_description()`` for each type of format.
5646
(Olaf Conradi)
5647
5648
* Changed ``branch.set_parent()`` to accept None to remove parent.
5649
(Olaf Conradi)
5650
5651
* Deprecated BzrError AmbiguousBase. (Olaf Conradi)
5652
5653
* WorkingTree.branch is now a read only property. (Robert Collins)
5654
5655
* bzrlib.ui.text.TextUIFactory now accepts a ``bar_type`` parameter which
5656
can be None or a factory that will create a progress bar. This is
5657
useful for testing or for overriding the bzrlib.progress heuristic.
5658
(Robert Collins)
5659
5660
* New API method ``get_physical_lock_status()`` to query locks present on a
5661
transport. (Olaf Conradi)
5662
5663
* Repository.reconcile now takes a thorough keyword parameter to allow
5664
requesting an indepth reconciliation, rather than just a data-loss
5665
check. (Robert Collins)
5666
5667
* ``bzrlib.ui.ui_factory protocol`` now supports ``get_boolean`` to prompt
5668
the user for yes/no style input. (Robert Collins)
5669
5670
TESTING:
5671
5672
* SFTP tests now shortcut the SSH negotiation, reducing test overhead
5673
for testing SFTP protocol support. (Robey Pointer)
5674
5675
* Branch formats are now tested once per implementation (see ``bzrlib.
5676
tests.branch_implementations``. This is analagous to the transport
5677
interface tests, and has been followed up with working tree,
5678
repository and BzrDir tests. (Robert Collins)
5679
5680
* New test base class TestCaseWithTransport provides a transport aware
5681
test environment, useful for testing any transport-interface using
5682
code. The test suite option --transport controls the transport used
5683
by this class (when its not being used as part of implementation
5684
contract testing). (Robert Collins)
5685
5686
* Close logging handler on disabling the test log. This will remove the
5687
handler from the internal list inside python's logging module,
5688
preventing shutdown from closing it twice. (Olaf Conradi)
5689
5690
* Move test case for uncommit to blackbox tests. (Olaf Conradi)
5691
5692
* ``run_bzr`` and ``run_bzr_captured`` now accept a 'stdin="foo"'
5693
parameter which will provide String("foo") to the command as its stdin.
5694
5695
bzr 0.7 2006-01-09
5696
------------------
5697
5698
CHANGES:
5699
5700
* .bzrignore is excluded from exports, on the grounds that it's a bzr
5701
internal-use file and may not be wanted. (Jamie Wilkinson)
5702
5703
* The "bzr directories" command were removed in favor of the new
5704
--kind option to the "bzr inventory" command. To list all
5705
versioned directories, now use "bzr inventory --kind directory".
5706
(Johan Rydberg)
5707
5708
* Under Windows configuration directory is now ``%APPDATA%\bazaar\2.0``
5709
by default. (John Arbash Meinel)
5710
5711
* The parent of Bzr configuration directory can be set by ``BZR_HOME``
5712
environment variable. Now the path for it is searched in ``BZR_HOME``,
5713
then in HOME. Under Windows the order is: ``BZR_HOME``, ``APPDATA``
5714
(usually points to ``C:\Documents and Settings\User Name\Application Data``),
5715
``HOME``. (John Arbash Meinel)
5716
5717
* Plugins with the same name in different directories in the bzr plugin
5718
path are no longer loaded: only the first successfully loaded one is
5719
used. (Robert Collins)
5720
5721
* Use systems' external ssh command to open connections if possible.
5722
This gives better integration with user settings such as ProxyCommand.
5723
(James Henstridge)
5724
5725
* Permissions on files underneath .bzr/ are inherited from the .bzr
5726
directory. So for a shared repository, simply doing 'chmod -R g+w .bzr/'
5727
will mean that future file will be created with group write permissions.
5728
5729
* configure.in and config.guess are no longer in the builtin default
5730
ignore list.
5731
5732
* '.sw[nop]' pattern ignored, to ignore vim swap files for nameless
5733
files. (John Arbash Meinel, Martin Pool)
5734
5735
IMPROVEMENTS:
5736
5737
* "bzr INIT dir" now initializes the specified directory, and creates
5738
it if it does not exist. (John Arbash Meinel)
5739
5740
* New remerge command (Aaron Bentley)
5741
5742
* Better zsh completion script. (Steve Borho)
5743
5744
* 'bzr diff' now returns 1 when there are changes in the working
5745
tree. (Robert Collins)
5746
5747
* 'bzr push' now exists and can push changes to a remote location.
5748
This uses the transport infrastructure, and can store the remote
5749
location in the ~/.bazaar/branches.conf configuration file.
5750
(Robert Collins)
5751
5752
* Test directories are only kept if the test fails and the user requests
5753
that they be kept.
5754
5755
* Tweaks to short log printing
5756
5757
* Added branch nicks, new nick command, printing them in log output.
5758
(Aaron Bentley)
5759
5760
* If ``$BZR_PDB`` is set, pop into the debugger when an uncaught exception
5761
occurs. (Martin Pool)
5762
5763
* Accept 'bzr resolved' (an alias for 'bzr resolve'), as this is
5764
the same as Subversion. (Martin Pool)
5765
5766
* New ftp transport support (on ftplib), for ftp:// and aftp://
5767
URLs. (Daniel Silverstone)
5768
5769
* Commit editor temporary files now start with ``bzr_log.``, to allow
5770
text editors to match the file name and set up appropriate modes or
5771
settings. (Magnus Therning)
5772
5773
* Improved performance when integrating changes from a remote weave.
5774
(Goffredo Baroncelli)
5775
5776
* Sftp will attempt to cache the connection, so it is more likely that
5777
a connection will be reused, rather than requiring multiple password
5778
requests.
5779
5780
* bzr revno now takes an optional argument indicating the branch whose
5781
revno should be printed. (Michael Ellerman)
5782
5783
* bzr cat defaults to printing the last version of the file.
5784
(Matthieu Moy, #3632)
5785
5786
* New global option 'bzr --lsprof COMMAND' runs bzr under the lsprof
5787
profiler. (Denys Duchier)
5788
5789
* Faster commits by reading only the headers of affected weave files.
5790
(Denys Duchier)
5791
5792
* 'bzr add' now takes a --dry-run parameter which shows you what would be
5793
added, but doesn't actually add anything. (Michael Ellerman)
5794
5795
* 'bzr add' now lists how many files were ignored per glob. add --verbose
5796
lists the specific files. (Aaron Bentley)
5797
5798
* 'bzr missing' now supports displaying changes in diverged trees and can
5799
be limited to show what either end of the comparison is missing.
5800
(Aaron Bently, with a little prompting from Daniel Silverstone)
5801
5802
BUG FIXES:
5803
5804
* SFTP can walk up to the root path without index errors. (Robert Collins)
5805
5806
* Fix bugs in running bzr with 'python -O'. (Martin Pool)
5807
5808
* Error when run with -OO
5809
5810
* Fix bug in reporting http errors that don't have an http error code.
5811
(Martin Pool)
5812
5813
* Handle more cases of pipe errors in display commands
5814
5815
* Change status to 3 for all errors
5816
5817
* Files that are added and unlinked before committing are completely
5818
ignored by diff and status
5819
5820
* Stores with some compressed texts and some uncompressed texts are now
5821
able to be used. (John A Meinel)
5822
5823
* Fix for bzr pull failing sometimes under windows
5824
5825
* Fix for sftp transport under windows when using interactive auth
5826
5827
* Show files which are both renamed and modified as such in 'bzr
5828
status' output. (Daniel Silverstone, #4503)
5829
5830
* Make annotate cope better with revisions committed without a valid
5831
email address. (Marien Zwart)
5832
5833
* Fix representation of tab characters in commit messages.
5834
(Harald Meland)
5835
5836
* List of plugin directories in ``BZR_PLUGIN_PATH`` environment variable is
5837
now parsed properly under Windows. (Alexander Belchenko)
5838
5839
* Show number of revisions pushed/pulled/merged. (Robey Pointer)
5840
5841
* Keep a cached copy of the basis inventory to speed up operations
5842
that need to refer to it. (Johan Rydberg, Martin Pool)
5843
5844
* Fix bugs in bzr status display of non-ascii characters.
5845
(Martin Pool)
5846
5847
* Remove Makefile.in from default ignore list.
5848
(Tollef Fog Heen, Martin Pool, #6413)
5849
5850
* Fix failure in 'bzr added'. (Nathan McCallum, Martin Pool)
5851
5852
TESTING:
5853
5854
* Fix selftest asking for passwords when there are no SFTP keys.
5855
(Robey Pointer, Jelmer Vernooij)
5856
5857
* Fix selftest run with 'python -O'. (Martin Pool)
5858
5859
* Fix HTTP tests under Windows. (John Arbash Meinel)
5860
5861
* Make tests work even if HOME is not set (Aaron Bentley)
5862
5863
* Updated ``build_tree`` to use fixed line-endings for tests which read
5864
the file cotents and compare. Make some tests use this to pass under
5865
Windows. (John Arbash Meinel)
5866
5867
* Skip stat and symlink tests under Windows. (Alexander Belchenko)
5868
5869
* Delay in selftest/testhashcash is now issued under win32 and Cygwin.
5870
(John Arbash Meinel)
5871
5872
* Use terminal width to align verbose test output. (Martin Pool)
5873
5874
* Blackbox tests are maintained within the bzrlib.tests.blackbox directory.
5875
If adding a new test script please add that to
5876
``bzrlib.tests.blackbox.__init__``. (Robert Collins)
5877
5878
* Much better error message if one of the test suites can't be
5879
imported. (Martin Pool)
5880
5881
* Make check now runs the test suite twice - once with the default locale,
5882
and once with all locales forced to C, to expose bugs. This is not
5883
trivially done within python, so for now its only triggered by running
5884
Make check. Integrators and packagers who wish to check for full
5885
platform support should run 'make check' to test the source.
5886
(Robert Collins)
5887
5888
* Tests can now run TestSkipped if they can't execute for any reason.
5889
(Martin Pool) (NB: TestSkipped should only be raised for correctable
5890
reasons - see the wiki spec ImprovingBzrTestSuite).
5891
5892
* Test sftp with relative, absolute-in-homedir and absolute-not-in-homedir
5893
paths for the transport tests. Introduce blackbox remote sftp tests that
5894
test the same permutations. (Robert Collins, Robey Pointer)
5895
5896
* Transport implementation tests are now independent of the local file
5897
system, which allows tests for esoteric transports, and for features
5898
not available in the local file system. They also repeat for variations
5899
on the URL scheme that can introduce issues in the transport code,
5900
see bzrlib.transport.TransportTestProviderAdapter() for this.
5901
(Robert Collins).
5902
5903
* ``TestCase.build_tree`` uses the transport interface to build trees,
5904
pass in a transport parameter to give it an existing connection.
5905
(Robert Collins).
5906
5907
INTERNALS:
5908
5909
* WorkingTree.pull has been split across Branch and WorkingTree,
5910
to allow Branch only pulls. (Robert Collins)
5911
5912
* ``commands.display_command`` now returns the result of the decorated
5913
function. (Robert Collins)
5914
5915
* LocationConfig now has a ``set_user_option(key, value)`` call to save
5916
a setting in its matching location section (a new one is created
5917
if needed). (Robert Collins)
5918
5919
* Branch has two new methods, ``get_push_location`` and
5920
``set_push_location`` to respectively, get and set the push location.
5921
(Robert Collins)
5922
5923
* ``commands.register_command`` now takes an optional flag to signal that
5924
the registrant is planning to decorate an existing command. When
5925
given multiple plugins registering a command is not an error, and
5926
the original command class (whether built in or a plugin based one) is
5927
returned to the caller. There is a new error 'MustUseDecorated' for
5928
signalling when a wrapping command should switch to the original
5929
version. (Robert Collins)
5930
5931
* Some option parsing errors will raise 'BzrOptionError', allowing
5932
granular detection for decorating commands. (Robert Collins).
5933
5934
* ``Branch.read_working_inventory`` has moved to
5935
``WorkingTree.read_working_inventory``. This necessitated changes to
5936
``Branch.get_root_id``, and a move of ``Branch.set_inventory`` to
5937
WorkingTree as well. To make it clear that a WorkingTree cannot always
5938
be obtained ``Branch.working_tree()`` will raise
5939
``errors.NoWorkingTree`` if one cannot be obtained. (Robert Collins)
5940
5941
* All pending merges operations from Branch are now on WorkingTree.
5942
(Robert Collins)
5943
5944
* The follow operations from Branch have moved to WorkingTree::
5945
5946
add()
5947
commit()
5948
move()
5949
rename_one()
5950
unknowns()
5951
5952
(Robert Collins)
5953
5954
* ``bzrlib.add.smart_add_branch`` is now ``smart_add_tree``. (Robert Collins)
5955
5956
* New "rio" serialization format, similar to rfc-822. (Martin Pool)
5957
5958
* Rename selftests to ``bzrlib.tests.test_foo``. (John A Meinel, Martin
5959
Pool)
5960
5961
* ``bzrlib.plugin.all_plugins`` has been changed from an attribute to a
5962
query method. (Robert Collins)
5963
5964
* New options to read only the table-of-contents of a weave.
5965
(Denys Duchier)
5966
5967
* Raise NoSuchFile when someone tries to add a non-existant file.
5968
(Michael Ellerman)
5969
5970
* Simplify handling of DivergedBranches in ``cmd_pull()``.
5971
(Michael Ellerman)
5972
5973
* Branch.controlfile* logic has moved to lockablefiles.LockableFiles, which
5974
is exposed as ``Branch().control_files``. Also this has been altered with the
5975
controlfile pre/suffix replaced by simple method names like 'get' and
5976
'put'. (Aaron Bentley, Robert Collins).
5977
5978
* Deprecated functions and methods can now be marked as such using the
5979
``bzrlib.symbol_versioning`` module. Marked method have their docstring
5980
updated and will issue a DeprecationWarning using the warnings module
5981
when they are used. (Robert Collins)
5982
5983
* ``bzrlib.osutils.safe_unicode`` now exists to provide parameter coercion
5984
for functions that need unicode strings. (Robert Collins)

5989
IMPROVEMENTS:
5990
5991
* pull now takes --verbose to show you what revisions are added or removed
5992
(John A Meinel)
5993
5994
* merge now takes a --show-base option to include the base text in
5995
conflicts.
5996
(Aaron Bentley)
5997
5998
* The config files are now read using ConfigObj, so '=' should be used as
5999
a separator, not ':'.
6000
(Aaron Bentley)
6001
6002
* New 'bzr commit --strict' option refuses to commit if there are
6003
any unknown files in the tree. To commit, make sure all files are
6004
either ignored, added, or deleted. (Michael Ellerman)
6005
6006
* The config directory is now ~/.bazaar, and there is a single file
6007
~/.bazaar/bazaar.conf storing email, editor and other preferences.
6008
(Robert Collins)
6009
6010
* 'bzr add' no longer takes a --verbose option, and a --quiet option
6011
has been added that suppresses all output.
6012
6013
* Improved zsh completion support in contrib/zsh, from Clint
6014
Adams.
6015
6016
* Builtin 'bzr annotate' command, by Martin Pool with improvements from
6017
Goffredo Baroncelli.
6018
6019
* 'bzr check' now accepts -v for verbose reporting, and checks for
6020
ghosts in the branch. (Robert Collins)
6021
6022
* New command 're-sign' which will regenerate the gpg signature for
6023
a revision. (Robert Collins)
6024
6025
* If you set ``check_signatures=require`` for a path in
6026
``~/.bazaar/branches.conf`` then bzr will invoke your
6027
``gpg_signing_command`` (defaults to gpg) and record a digital signature
6028
of your commit. (Robert Collins)
6029
6030
* New sftp transport, based on Paramiko. (Robey Pointer)
6031
6032
* 'bzr pull' now accepts '--clobber' which will discard local changes
6033
and make this branch identical to the source branch. (Robert Collins)
6034
6035
* Just give a quieter warning if a plugin can't be loaded, and
6036
put the details in .bzr.log. (Martin Pool)
6037
6038
* 'bzr branch' will now set the branch-name to the last component of the
6039
output directory, if one was supplied.
6040
6041
* If the option ``post_commit`` is set to one (or more) python function
6042
names (must be in the bzrlib namespace), then they will be invoked
6043
after the commit has completed, with the branch and ``revision_id`` as
6044
parameters. (Robert Collins)
6045
6046
* Merge now has a retcode of 1 when conflicts occur. (Robert Collins)
6047
6048
* --merge-type weave is now supported for file contents. Tree-shape
6049
changes are still three-way based. (Martin Pool, Aaron Bentley)
6050
6051
* 'bzr check' allows the first revision on revision-history to have
6052
parents - something that is expected for cheap checkouts, and occurs
6053
when conversions from baz do not have all history. (Robert Collins).
6054
6055
* 'bzr merge' can now graft unrelated trees together, if your specify
6056
0 as a base. (Aaron Bentley)
6057
6058
* 'bzr commit branch' and 'bzr commit branch/file1 branch/file2' now work
6059
(Aaron Bentley)
6060
6061
* Add '.sconsign*' to default ignore list. (Alexander Belchenko)
6062
6063
* 'bzr merge --reprocess' minimizes conflicts
6064
6065
TESTING:
6066
6067
* The 'bzr selftest --pattern' option for has been removed, now
6068
test specifiers on the command line can be simple strings, or
6069
regexps, or both. (Robert Collins)
6070
6071
* Passing -v to selftest will now show the time each test took to
6072
complete, which will aid in analysing performance regressions and
6073
related questions. (Robert Collins)
6074
6075
* 'bzr selftest' runs all tests, even if one fails, unless '--one'
6076
is given. (Martin Pool)
6077
6078
* There is a new method for TestCaseInTempDir, assertFileEqual, which
6079
will check that a given content is equal to the content of the named
6080
file. (Robert Collins)
6081
6082
* Fix test suite's habit of leaving many temporary log files in $TMPDIR.
6083
(Martin Pool)
6084
6085
INTERNALS:
6086
6087
* New 'testament' command and concept for making gpg-signatures
6088
of revisions that are not tied to a particular internal
6089
representation. (Martin Pool).
6090
6091
* Per-revision properties ('revprops') as key-value associated
6092
strings on each revision created when the revision is committed.
6093
Intended mainly for the use of external tools. (Martin Pool).
6094
6095
* Config options have moved from bzrlib.osutils to bzrlib.config.
6096
(Robert Collins)
6097
6098
* Improved command line option definitions allowing explanations
6099
for individual options, among other things. Contributed by
6100
Magnus Therning.
6101
6102
* Config options have moved from bzrlib.osutils to bzrlib.config.
6103
Configuration is now done via the config.Config interface:
6104
Depending on whether you have a Branch, a Location or no information
6105
available, construct a ``*Config``, and use its ``signature_checking``,
6106
``username`` and ``user_email`` methods. (Robert Collins)
6107
6108
* Plugins are now loaded under bzrlib.plugins, not bzrlib.plugin, and
6109
they are made available for other plugins to use. You should not
6110
import other plugins during the ``__init__`` of your plugin though, as
6111
no ordering is guaranteed, and the plugins directory is not on the
6112
python path. (Robert Collins)
6113
6114
* Branch.relpath has been moved to WorkingTree.relpath. WorkingTree no
6115
no longer takes an inventory, rather it takes an option branch
6116
parameter, and if None is given will open the branch at basedir
6117
implicitly. (Robert Collins)
6118
6119
* Cleaner exception structure and error reporting. Suggested by
6120
Scott James Remnant. (Martin Pool)
6121
6122
* Branch.remove has been moved to WorkingTree, which has also gained
6123
``lock_read``, ``lock_write`` and ``unlock`` methods for convenience.
6124
(Robert Collins)
6125
6126
* Two decorators, ``needs_read_lock`` and ``needs_write_lock`` have been
6127
added to the branch module. Use these to cause a function to run in a
6128
read or write lock respectively. (Robert Collins)
6129
6130
* ``Branch.open_containing`` now returns a tuple (Branch, relative-path),
6131
which allows direct access to the common case of 'get me this file
6132
from its branch'. (Robert Collins)
6133
6134
* Transports can register using ``register_lazy_transport``, and they
6135
will be loaded when first used. (Martin Pool)
6136
6137
* 'pull' has been factored out of the command as ``WorkingTree.pull()``.
6138
A new option to WorkingTree.pull has been added, clobber, which will
6139
ignore diverged history and pull anyway.
6140
(Robert Collins)
6141
6142
* config.Config has a ``get_user_option`` call that accepts an option name.
6143
This will be looked up in branches.conf and bazaar.conf as normal.
6144
It is intended that this be used by plugins to support options -
6145
options of built in programs should have specific methods on the config.
6146
(Robert Collins)
6147
6148
* ``merge.merge_inner`` now has tempdir as an optional parameter.
6149
(Robert Collins)
6150
6151
* Tree.kind is not recorded at the top level of the hierarchy, as it was
6152
missing on EmptyTree, leading to a bug with merge on EmptyTrees.
6153
(Robert Collins)
6154
6155
* ``WorkingTree.__del__`` has been removed, it was non deterministic and not
6156
doing what it was intended to. See ``WorkingTree.__init__`` for a comment
6157
about future directions. (Robert Collins/Martin Pool)
6158
6159
* bzrlib.transport.http has been modified so that only 404 urllib errors
6160
are returned as NoSuchFile. Other exceptions will propogate as normal.
6161
This allows debuging of actual errors. (Robert Collins)
6162
6163
* bzrlib.transport.Transport now accepts *ONLY* url escaped relative paths
6164
to apis like 'put', 'get' and 'has'. This is to provide consistent
6165
behaviour - it operates on url's only. (Robert Collins)
6166
6167
* Transports can register using ``register_lazy_transport``, and they
6168
will be loaded when first used. (Martin Pool)
6169
6170
* ``merge_flex`` no longer calls ``conflict_handler.finalize()``, instead that
6171
is called by ``merge_inner``. This is so that the conflict count can be
6172
retrieved (and potentially manipulated) before returning to the caller
6173
of ``merge_inner``. Likewise 'merge' now returns the conflict count to the
6174
caller. (Robert Collins)
6175
6176
* ``revision.revision_graph`` can handle having only partial history for
6177
a revision - that is no revisions in the graph with no parents.
6178
(Robert Collins).
6179
6180
* New ``builtins.branch_files`` uses the standard ``file_list`` rules to
6181
produce a branch and a list of paths, relative to that branch
6182
(Aaron Bentley)
6183
6184
* New TestCase.addCleanup facility.
6185
6186
* New ``bzrlib.version_info`` tuple (similar to ``sys.version_info``),
6187
which can be used by programs importing bzrlib.
6188
6189
BUG FIXES:
6190
6191
* Better handling of branches in directories with non-ascii names.
6192
(Joel Rosdahl, Panagiotis Papadakos)
6193
6194
* Upgrades of trees with no commits will not fail due to accessing
6195
[-1] in the revision-history. (Andres Salomon)
6196
6197
6198
bzr 0.1.1 2005-10-12
6199
--------------------
6200
6201
BUG FIXES:
6202
6203
* Fix problem in pulling over http from machines that do not
6204
allow directories to be listed.
6205
6206
* Avoid harmless warning about invalid hash cache after
6207
upgrading branch format.
6208
6209
PERFORMANCE:
6210
6211
* Avoid some unnecessary http operations in branch and pull.
6212
6213
6214
bzr 0.1 2005-10-11
6215
------------------
6216
6217
NOTES:
6218
6219
* 'bzr branch' over http initially gives a very high estimate
6220
of completion time but it should fall as the first few
6221
revisions are pulled in. branch is still slow on
6222
high-latency connections.
6223
6224
BUG FIXES:
6225
6226
* bzr-man.py has been updated to work again. Contributed by
6227
Rob Weir.
6228
6229
* Locking is now done with fcntl.lockf which works with NFS
6230
file systems. Contributed by Harald Meland.
6231
6232
* When a merge encounters a file that has been deleted on
6233
one side and modified on the other, the old contents are
6234
written out to foo.BASE and foo.SIDE, where SIDE is this
6235
or OTHER. Contributed by Aaron Bentley.
6236
6237
* Export was choosing incorrect file paths for the content of
6238
the tarball, this has been fixed by Aaron Bentley.
6239
6240
* Commit will no longer commit without a log message, an
6241
error is returned instead. Contributed by Jelmer Vernooij.
6242
6243
* If you commit a specific file in a sub directory, any of its
6244
parent directories that are added but not listed will be
6245
automatically included. Suggested by Michael Ellerman.
6246
6247
* bzr commit and upgrade did not correctly record new revisions
6248
for files with only a change to their executable status.
6249
bzr will correct this when it encounters it. Fixed by
6250
Robert Collins
6251
6252
* HTTP tests now force off the use of ``http_proxy`` for the duration.
6253
Contributed by Gustavo Niemeyer.
6254
6255
* Fix problems in merging weave-based branches that have
6256
different partial views of history.
6257
6258
* Symlink support: working with symlinks when not in the root of a
6259
bzr tree was broken, patch from Scott James Remnant.
6260
6261
IMPROVEMENTS:
6262
6263
* 'branch' now accepts a --basis parameter which will take advantage
6264
of local history when making a new branch. This allows faster
6265
branching of remote branches. Contributed by Aaron Bentley.
6266
6267
* New tree format based on weave files, called version 5.
6268
Existing branches can be upgraded to this format using
6269
'bzr upgrade'.
6270
6271
* Symlinks are now versionable. Initial patch by
6272
Erik Toubro Nielsen, updated to head by Robert Collins.
6273
6274
* Executable bits are tracked on files. Patch from Gustavo
6275
Niemeyer.
6276
6277
* 'bzr status' now shows unknown files inside a selected directory.
6278
Patch from Heikki Paajanen.
6279
6280
* Merge conflicts are recorded in .bzr. Two new commands 'conflicts'
6281
and 'resolve' have needed added, which list and remove those
6282
merge conflicts respectively. A conflicted tree cannot be committed
6283
in. Contributed by Aaron Bentley.
6284
6285
* 'rm' is now an alias for 'remove'.
6286
6287
* Stores now split out their content in a single byte prefixed hash,
6288
dropping the density of files per directory by 256. Contributed by
6289
Gustavo Niemeyer.
6290
6291
* 'bzr diff -r branch:URL' will now perform a diff between two branches.
6292
Contributed by Robert Collins.
6293
6294
* 'bzr log' with the default formatter will show merged revisions,
6295
indented to the right. Initial implementation contributed by Gustavo
6296
Niemeyer, made incremental by Robert Collins.
6297
6298
6299
INTERNALS:
6300
6301
* Test case failures have the exception printed after the log
6302
for your viewing pleasure.
6303
6304
* InventoryEntry is now an abstract base class, use one of the
6305
concrete InventoryDirectory etc classes instead.
6306
6307
* Branch raises an UnsupportedFormatError when it detects a
6308
bzr branch it cannot understand. This allows for precise
6309
handling of such circumstances.
6310
6311
* Remove RevisionReference class; ``Revision.parent_ids`` is now simply a
6312
list of their ids and ``parent_sha1s`` is a list of their corresponding
6313
sha1s (for old branches only at the moment.)
6314
6315
* New method-object style interface for Commit() and Fetch().
6316
6317
* Renamed ``Branch.last_patch()`` to ``Branch.last_revision()``, since
6318
we call them revisions not patches.
6319
6320
* Move ``copy_branch`` to ``bzrlib.clone.copy_branch``. The destination
6321
directory is created if it doesn't exist.
6322
6323
* Inventories now identify the files which were present by
6324
giving the revision *of that file*.
6325
6326
* Inventory and Revision XML contains a version identifier.
6327
This must be consistent with the overall branch version
6328
but allows for more flexibility in future upgrades.
6329
6330
TESTING:
6331
6332
* Removed testsweet module so that tests can be run after
6333
bzr installed by 'bzr selftest'.
6334
6335
* 'bzr selftest' command-line arguments can now be partial ids
6336
of tests to run, e.g. ``bzr selftest test_weave``
6337
6338
6339
bzr 0.0.9 2005-09-23
6340
--------------------
6341
6342
BUG FIXES:
6343
6344
* Fixed "branch -r" option.
6345
6346
* Fix remote access to branches containing non-compressed history.
6347
(Robert Collins).
6348
6349
* Better reliability of http server tests. (John Arbash-Meinel)
6350
6351
* Merge graph maximum distance calculation fix. (Aaron Bentley)
6352
6353
* Various minor bug in windows support have been fixed, largely in the
6354
test suite. Contributed by Alexander Belchenko.
6355
6356
IMPROVEMENTS:
6357
6358
* Status now accepts a -r argument to give status between chosen
6359
revisions. Contributed by Heikki Paajanen.
6360
6361
* Revision arguments no longer use +/-/= to control ranges, instead
6362
there is a 'before' namespace, which limits the successive namespace.
6363
For example '$ bzr log -r date:yesterday..before:date:today' will
6364
select everything from yesterday and before today. Contributed by
6365
Robey Pointer
6366
6367
* There is now a bzr.bat file created by distutils when building on
6368
Windows. Contributed by Alexander Belchenko.
6369
6370
INTERNALS:
6371
6372
* Removed uuid() as it was unused.
6373
6374
* Improved 'fetch' code for pulling revisions from one branch into
6375
another (used by pull, merged, etc.)
6376
6377
6378
bzr 0.0.8 2005-09-20
6379
--------------------
6380
6381
IMPROVEMENTS:
6382
6383
* Adding a file whose parent directory is not versioned will
6384
implicitly add the parent, and so on up to the root. This means
6385
you should never need to explictly add a directory, they'll just
6386
get added when you add a file in the directory. Contributed by
6387
Michael Ellerman.
6388
6389
* Ignore ``.DS_Store`` (contains Mac metadata) by default.
6390
(Nir Soffer)
6391
6392
* If you set ``BZR_EDITOR`` in the environment, it is checked in
6393
preference to EDITOR and the config file for the interactive commit
6394
editing program. Related to this is a bugfix where a missing program
6395
set in EDITOR would cause editing to fail, now the fallback program
6396
for the operating system is still tried.
6397
6398
* Files that are not directories/symlinks/regular files will no longer
6399
cause bzr to fail, it will just ignore them by default. You cannot add
6400
them to the tree though - they are not versionable.
6401
6402
6403
INTERNALS:
6404
6405
* Refactor xml packing/unpacking.
6406
6407
BUG FIXES:
6408
6409
* Fixed 'bzr mv' by Ollie Rutherfurd.
6410
6411
* Fixed strange error when trying to access a nonexistent http
6412
branch.
6413
6414
* Make sure that the hashcache gets written out if it can't be
6415
read.
6416
6417
6418
PORTABILITY:
6419
6420
* Various Windows fixes from Ollie Rutherfurd.
6421
6422
* Quieten warnings about locking; patch from Matt Lavin.
6423
6424
6425
bzr-0.0.7 2005-09-02
6426
--------------------
6427
6428
NEW FEATURES:
6429
6430
* ``bzr shell-complete`` command contributed by Clint Adams to
6431
help with intelligent shell completion.
6432
6433
* New expert command ``bzr find-merge-base`` for debugging merges.
6434
6435
6436
ENHANCEMENTS:
6437
6438
* Much better merge support.
6439
6440
* merge3 conflicts are now reported with markers like '<<<<<<<'
6441
(seven characters) which is the same as CVS and pleases things
6442
like emacs smerge.
6443
6444
6445
BUG FIXES:
6446
6447
* ``bzr upgrade`` no longer fails when trying to fix trees that
6448
mention revisions that are not present.
6449
6450
* Fixed bugs in listing plugins from ``bzr plugins``.
6451
6452
* Fix case of $EDITOR containing options for the editor.
6453
6454
* Fix log -r refusing to show the last revision.
6455
(Patch from Goffredo Baroncelli.)
6456
6457
6458
CHANGES:
6459
6460
* ``bzr log --show-ids`` shows the revision ids of all parents.
6461
6462
* Externally provided commands on your $BZRPATH no longer need
6463
to recognize --bzr-usage to work properly, and can just handle
6464
--help themselves.
6465
6466
6467
LIBRARY:
6468
6469
* Changed trace messages to go through the standard logging
6470
framework, so that they can more easily be redirected by
6471
libraries.

bzr-0.0.6 2005-08-18
6476
--------------------
6477
6478
NEW FEATURES:
6479
6480
* Python plugins, automatically loaded from the directories on
6481
``BZR_PLUGIN_PATH`` or ``~/.bzr.conf/plugins`` by default.
6482
6483
* New 'bzr mkdir' command.
6484
6485
* Commit mesage is fetched from an editor if not given on the
6486
command line; patch from Torsten Marek.
6487
6488
* ``bzr log -m FOO`` displays commits whose message matches regexp
6489
FOO.
6490
6491
* ``bzr add`` with no arguments adds everything under the current directory.
6492
6493
* ``bzr mv`` does move or rename depending on its arguments, like
6494
the Unix command.
6495
6496
* ``bzr missing`` command shows a summary of the differences
6497
between two trees. (Merged from John Arbash-Meinel.)
6498
6499
* An email address for commits to a particular tree can be
6500
specified by putting it into .bzr/email within a branch. (Based
6501
on a patch from Heikki Paajanen.)
6502
6503
6504
ENHANCEMENTS:
6505
6506
* Faster working tree operations.
6507
6508
6509
CHANGES:
6510
6511
* 3rd-party modules shipped with bzr are copied within the bzrlib
6512
python package, so that they can be installed by the setup
6513
script without clashing with anything already existing on the
6514
system. (Contributed by Gustavo Niemeyer.)
6515
6516
* Moved plugins directory to bzrlib/, so that there's a standard
6517
plugin directory which is not only installed with bzr itself but
6518
is also available when using bzr from the development tree.
6519
``BZR_PLUGIN_PATH`` and ``DEFAULT_PLUGIN_PATH`` are then added to the
6520
standard plugins directory.
6521
6522
* When exporting to a tarball with ``bzr export --format tgz``, put
6523
everything under a top directory rather than dumping it into the
6524
current directory. This can be overridden with the ``--root``
6525
option. Patch from William Dodé and John Meinel.
6526
6527
* New ``bzr upgrade`` command to upgrade the format of a branch,
6528
replacing ``bzr check --update``.
6529
6530
* Files within store directories are no longer marked readonly on
6531
disk.
6532
6533
* Changed ``bzr log`` output to a more compact form suggested by
6534
John A Meinel. Old format is available with the ``--long`` or
6535
``-l`` option, patched by William Dodé.
6536
6537
* By default the commit command refuses to record a revision with
6538
no changes unless the ``--unchanged`` option is given.
6539
6540
* The ``--no-plugins``, ``--profile`` and ``--builtin`` command
6541
line options must come before the command name because they
6542
affect what commands are available; all other options must come
6543
after the command name because their interpretation depends on
6544
it.
6545
6546
* ``branch`` and ``clone`` added as aliases for ``branch``.
6547
6548
* Default log format is back to the long format; the compact one
6549
is available with ``--short``.
6550
6551
6552
BUG FIXES:
6553
6554
* Fix bugs in committing only selected files or within a subdirectory.
6555
6556
6557
bzr-0.0.5 2005-06-15
6558
---------------------
6559
6560
CHANGES:
6561
6562
* ``bzr`` with no command now shows help rather than giving an
6563
error. Suggested by Michael Ellerman.
6564
6565
* ``bzr status`` output format changed, because svn-style output
6566
doesn't really match the model of bzr. Now files are grouped by
6567
status and can be shown with their IDs. ``bzr status --all``
6568
shows all versioned files and unknown files but not ignored files.
6569
6570
* ``bzr log`` runs from most-recent to least-recent, the reverse
6571
of the previous order. The previous behaviour can be obtained
6572
with the ``--forward`` option.
6573
6574
* ``bzr inventory`` by default shows only filenames, and also ids
6575
if ``--show-ids`` is given, in which case the id is the second
6576
field.
6577
6578
6579
ENHANCEMENTS:
6580
6581
* New 'bzr whoami --email' option shows only the email component
6582
of the user identification, from Jo Vermeulen.
6583
6584
* New ``bzr ignore PATTERN`` command.
6585
6586
* Nicer error message for broken pipe, interrupt and similar
6587
conditions that don't indicate an internal error.
6588
6589
* Add ``.*.sw[nop] .git .*.tmp *,v`` to default ignore patterns.
6590
6591
* Per-branch locks keyed on ``.bzr/branch-lock``, available in
6592
either read or write mode.
6593
6594
* New option ``bzr log --show-ids`` shows revision and file ids.
6595
6596
* New usage ``bzr log FILENAME`` shows only revisions that
6597
affected that file.
6598
6599
* Changed format for describing changes in ``bzr log -v``.
6600
6601
* New option ``bzr commit --file`` to take a message from a file,
6602
suggested by LarstiQ.
6603
6604
* New syntax ``bzr status [FILE...]`` contributed by Bartosz
6605
Oler. File may be in a branch other than the working directory.
6606
6607
* ``bzr log`` and ``bzr root`` can be given an http URL instead of
6608
a filename.
6609
6610
* Commands can now be defined by external programs or scripts
6611
in a directory on $BZRPATH.
6612
6613
* New "stat cache" avoids reading the contents of files if they
6614
haven't changed since the previous time.
6615
6616
* If the Python interpreter is too old, try to find a better one
6617
or give an error. Based on a patch from Fredrik Lundh.
6618
6619
* New optional parameter ``bzr info [BRANCH]``.
6620
6621
* New form ``bzr commit SELECTED`` to commit only selected files.
6622
6623
* New form ``bzr log -r FROM:TO`` shows changes in selected
6624
range; contributed by John A Meinel.
6625
6626
* New option ``bzr diff --diff-options 'OPTS'`` allows passing
6627
options through to an external GNU diff.
6628
6629
* New option ``bzr add --no-recurse`` to add a directory but not
6630
their contents.
6631
6632
* ``bzr --version`` now shows more information if bzr is being run
6633
from a branch.
6634
6635
6636
BUG FIXES:
6637
6638
* Fixed diff format so that added and removed files will be
6639
handled properly by patch. Fix from Lalo Martins.
6640
6641
* Various fixes for files whose names contain spaces or other
6642
metacharacters.
6643
6644
6645
TESTING:
6646
6647
* Converted black-box test suites from Bourne shell into Python;
6648
now run using ``./testbzr``. Various structural improvements to
6649
the tests.
6650
6651
* testbzr by default runs the version of bzr found in the same
6652
directory as the tests, or the one given as the first parameter.
6653
6654
* testbzr also runs the internal tests, so the only command
6655
required to check is just ``./testbzr``.
6656
6657
* testbzr requires python2.4, but can be used to test bzr running
6658
under a different version.
6659
6660
* Tests added for many other changes in this release.
6661
6662
6663
INTERNAL:
6664
6665
* Included ElementTree library upgraded to 1.2.6 by Fredrik Lundh.
6666
6667
* Refactor command functions into Command objects based on HCT by
6668
Scott James Remnant.
6669
6670
* Better help messages for many commands.
6671
6672
* Expose ``bzrlib.open_tracefile()`` to start the tracefile; until
6673
this is called trace messages are just discarded.
6674
6675
* New internal function ``find_touching_revisions()`` and hidden
6676
command touching-revisions trace the changes to a given file.
6677
6678
* Simpler and faster ``compare_inventories()`` function.
6679
6680
* ``bzrlib.open_tracefile()`` takes a tracefilename parameter.
6681
6682
* New AtomicFile class.
6683
6684
* New developer commands ``added``, ``modified``.
6685
6686
6687
PORTABILITY:
6688
6689
* Cope on Windows on python2.3 by using the weaker random seed.
6690
2.4 is now only recommended.
6691
6692
6693
bzr-0.0.4 2005-04-22
6694
---------------------
6695
6696
ENHANCEMENTS:
6697
6698
* 'bzr diff' optionally takes a list of files to diff. Still a bit
6699
basic. Patch from QuantumG.
6700
6701
* More default ignore patterns.
6702
6703
* New 'bzr log --verbose' shows a list of files changed in the
6704
changeset. Patch from Sebastian Cote.
6705
6706
* Roll over ~/.bzr.log if it gets too large.
6707
6708
* Command abbreviations 'ci', 'st', 'stat', '?' based on a patch
6709
by Jason Diamon.
6710
6711
* New 'bzr help commands' based on a patch from Denys Duchier.
6712
6713
6714
CHANGES:
6715
6716
* User email is determined by looking at $BZREMAIL or ~/.bzr.email
6717
or $EMAIL. All are decoded by the locale preferred encoding.
6718
If none of these are present user@hostname is used. The host's
6719
fully-qualified name is not used because that tends to fail when
6720
there are DNS problems.
6721
6722
* New 'bzr whoami' command instead of username user-email.
6723
6724
6725
BUG FIXES:
6726
6727
* Make commit safe for hardlinked bzr trees.
6728
6729
* Some Unicode/locale fixes.
6730
6731
* Partial workaround for ``difflib.unified_diff`` not handling
6732
trailing newlines properly.
6733
6734
6735
INTERNAL:
6736
6737
* Allow docstrings for help to be in PEP0257 format. Patch from
6738
Matt Brubeck.
6739
6740
* More tests in test.sh.
6741
6742
* Write profile data to a temporary file not into working
6743
directory and delete it when done.
6744
6745
* Smaller .bzr.log with process ids.
6746
6747
6748
PORTABILITY:
6749
6750
* Fix opening of ~/.bzr.log on Windows. Patch from Andrew
6751
Bennetts.
6752
6753
* Some improvements in handling paths on Windows, based on a patch
6754
from QuantumG.

6756
6757
bzr-0.0.3 2005-04-06
6758

6763
in the tree.
6764
6765

6766
6767
* New "rename" command to rename one file to a different name
6768
and/or directory.
6769
6770
* New "move" command to move one or more files into a different
6771
directory.
6772
6773
* New "renames" command lists files renamed since base revision.
6774
6775
* New cat command contributed by janmar.
6776
6777
CHANGES:
6778
6779
* .bzr.log is placed in $HOME (not pwd) and is always written in
6780
UTF-8. (Probably not a completely good long-term solution, but
6781
will do for now.)
6782
6783
PORTABILITY:
6784
6785
* Workaround for difflib bug in Python 2.3 that causes an
6786
exception when comparing empty files. Reported by Erik Toubro
6787
Nielsen.
6788
6789
INTERNAL:
6790
6791
* Refactored inventory storage to insert a root entry at the top.
6792
6793
TESTING:

6807
-----------------------------------
6808
6809
ENHANCEMENTS:
6810
6811
* Default ignore list extended (see bzrlib/__init__.py).
6812
6813
* Patterns in .bzrignore are now added to the default ignore list,
6814
rather than replacing it.
6815
6816
* Ignore list isn't reread for every file.
6817
6818
* More help topics.
6819
6820
* Reinstate the 'bzr check' command to check invariants of the
6821
branch.
6822
6823
* New 'ignored' command lists which files are ignored and why;
6824
'deleted' lists files deleted in the current working tree.
6825
6826
* Performance improvements.
6827
6828
* New global --profile option.
6829
6830
* Ignore patterns like './config.h' now correctly match files in
6831
the root directory only.
6832
6833
6834

6844
committing to stores.
6845
6846
* More useful verbose output from some commands.
6847
6848
BUG FIXES:
6849

6851
6852
PORTABILITY:
6853
6854
* Include a subset of ElementTree-1.2.20040618 to make
6855
installation easier.
6856
6857
* Fix time.localtime call to work with Python 2.3 (the minimum
6858
supported).
6859

6861
bzr-0.0.0.69 2005-03-22
6862
