IN DEVELOPMENT

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

bzr 1.6beta2 2008-06-10
515
-----------------------
516
517
This release contains further progress towards our 1.6 goals of shallow
518
repositories, and contains a fix for some user-affecting bugs in the
519
repository layer. Building working trees during checkout and branch is
520
now faster.
521
522
BUG FIXES:
523
524
* Avoid KnitCorrupt error extracting inventories from some repositories.
525
(The data is not corrupt; an internal check is detecting a problem
526
reading from the repository.)
527
(Martin Pool, Andrew Bennetts, Robert Collins, #234748)
528
529
* ``bzr status`` was breaking if you merged the same revision twice.
530
(John Arbash Meinel, #235407)
531
532
* Fix infinite loop consuming 100% CPU when a connection is lost while
533
reading a response body via the smart protocol v1 or v2.
534
(Andrew Bennetts)
535
536
* Inserting a bundle which changes the contents of a file with no trailing
537
end of line, causing a knit snapshot in a 'knits' repository will no longer
538
cause KnitCorrupt. (Robert Collins)
539
540
* ``RemoteBranch.pull`` needs to return the ``self._real_branch``'s
541
pull result. It was instead just returning None, which breaks ``bzr
542
pull``. (John Arbash Meinel, #238149)
543
544
* Sanitize branch nick before using it as an attachment filename in
545
``bzr send``. (Lukáš Lalinský, #210218)
546
547
* Squash ``inv_entry.symlink_target`` to a plain string when
548
generating DirState details. This prevents from getting a
549
``UnicodeError`` when you have symlinks and non-ascii filenames.
550
(John Arbash Meinel, #135320)
551
552
IMPROVEMENTS:
553
554
* Added the 'alias' command to set/unset and display aliases. (Tim Penhey)
555
556
* ``added``, ``modified``, and ``unknowns`` behaviour made consistent (all three
557
now quote paths where required). Added ``--null`` option to ``added`` and
558
``modified`` (for null-separated unknowns, use ``ls --unknown --null``)
559
(Adrian Wilkins)
560
561
* Faster branching (1.09x) and lightweight checkouts (1.06x) on large trees.
562
(Ian Clatworthy, Aaron Bentley)
563
564
DOCUMENTATION:
565
566
* Added *Bazaar Zen* section to the User Guide. (Ian Clatworthy)
567
568
TESTING:
569
570
* Fix the test HTTPServer to be isolated from chdir calls made while it is
571
running, allowing it to be used in blackbox tests. (Robert Collins)
572
573
API CHANGES:
574
575
* ``WorkingTree.set_parent_(ids/trees)`` will now filter out revisions
576
which are in the ancestry of other revisions. So if you merge the same
577
tree twice, or merge an ancestor of an existing merge, it will only
578
record the newest. (If you merge a descendent, it will replace its
579
ancestor). (John Arbash Meinel, #235407)
580
581
* ``RepositoryPolicy.__init__`` now requires stack_on and stack_on_pwd,
582
through the derived classes do not. (Aaron Bentley)
583
584
INTERNALS:
585
586
* ``bzrlib.bzrdir.BzrDir.sprout`` now accepts ``stacked`` to control
587
creating stacked branches. (Robert Collins)
588
589
* Knit record serialisation is now stricter on what it will accept, to
590
guard against potential internal bugs, or broken input. (Robert Collins)
591
592
593
bzr 1.6beta1 2008-06-02
594
-----------------------
595
596
597
Commands that work on the revision history such as push, pull, missing,
598
uncommit and log are now substantially faster. This release adds a
599
translation of some of the user documentation into Spanish. (Contributions of
600
other translations would be very welcome.) Bazaar 1.6beta1 adds a new network
601
protocol which is used by default and which allows for more efficient transfers
602
and future extensions.
603
604
605
NOTES WHEN UPGRADING:
606
607
* There is a new version of the network protocol used for bzr://, bzr+ssh://
608
and bzr+http:// connections. This will allow more efficient requests and
609
responses, and more graceful fallback when a server is too old to
610
recognise a request from a more recent client. Bazaar 1.6 will
611
interoperate with 0.16 and later versions, but servers should be upgraded
612
when possible. Bazaar 1.6 no longer interoperates with 0.15 and earlier via
613
these protocols. Use alternatives like SFTP or upgrade those servers.
614
(Andrew Bennetts, #83935)
615
616
CHANGES:
617
618
* Deprecation warnings will not be suppressed when running ``bzr selftest``
619
so that developers can see if their code is using deprecated functions.
620
(John Arbash Meinel)
621
622
FEATURES:
623
624
* Adding ``-Derror`` will now display a traceback when a plugin fails to
625
load. (James Westby)
626
627
IMPROVEMENTS:
628
629
* ``bzr branch/push/pull -r XXX`` now have a helper function for finding
630
the revno of the new revision (``Graph.find_distance_to_null``). This
631
should make something like ``bzr branch -r -100`` in a shared, no-trees
632
repository much snappier. (John Arbash Meinel)
633
634
* ``bzr log --short -r X..Y`` no longer needs to access the full revision
635
history. This makes it noticeably faster when logging the last few
636
revisions. (John Arbash Meinel)
637
638
* ``bzr ls`` now accepts ``-V`` as an alias for ``--versioned``.
639
(Jerad Cramp, #165086)
640
641
* ``bzr missing`` uses the new ``Graph.find_unique_ancestors`` and
642
``Graph.find_differences`` to determine missing revisions without having
643
to search the whole ancestry. (John Arbash Meinel, #174625)
644
645
* ``bzr uncommit`` now uses partial history access, rather than always
646
extracting the full revision history for a branch. This makes it
647
resolve the appropriate revisions much faster (in testing it drops
648
uncommit from 1.5s => 0.4s). It also means ``bzr log --short`` is one
649
step closer to not using full revision history.
650
(John Arbash Meinel, #172649)
651
652
BUGFIXES:
653
654
* ``bzr merge --lca`` should handle when two revisions have no common
655
ancestor other than NULL_REVISION. (John Arbash Meinel, #235715)
656
657
* ``bzr status`` was breaking if you merged the same revision twice.
658
(John Arbash Meinel, #235407)
659
660
* ``bzr push`` with both ``--overwrite`` and ``-r NNN`` options no longer
661
fails. (Andrew Bennetts, #234229)
662
663
* Correctly track the base URL of a smart medium when using bzr+http://
664
URLs, which was causing spurious "No repository present" errors with
665
branches in shared repositories accessed over bzr+http.
666
(Andrew Bennetts, #230550)
667
668
* Define ``_remote_is_at_least_1_2`` on ``SmartClientMedium`` so that all
669
implementations have the attribute. Fixes 'PyCurlTransport' object has no
670
attribute '_remote_is_at_least_1_2' attribute errors.
671
(Andrew Bennetts, #220806)
672
673
* Failure to delete an obsolete pack file should just give a warning
674
message, not a fatal error. It may for example fail if the file is still
675
in use by another process.
676
(Martin Pool)
677
678
* Fix MemoryError during large fetches over HTTP by limiting the amount of
679
data we try to read per ``recv`` call. The problem was observed with
680
Windows and a proxy, but might affect other environments as well.
681
(Eric Holmberg, #215426)
682
683
* Handle old merge directives correctly in Merger.from_mergeable. Stricter
684
get_parent_map requirements exposed a latent bug here. (Aaron Bentley)
685
686
* Issue a warning and ignore passwords declared in authentication.conf when
687
used for an ssh scheme (sftp or bzr+ssh).
688
(Vincent Ladeuil, #203186)
689
690
* Make both http implementations raise appropriate exceptions on 403
691
Forbidden when POSTing smart requests.
692
(Vincent Ladeuil, #230223)
693
694
* Properly *title* header names in http requests instead of capitalizing
695
them.
696
(Vincent Ladeuil, #229076)
697
698
* The "Unable to obtain lock" error message now also suggests using
699
``bzr break-lock`` to fix it. (Martin Albisetti, #139202)
700
701
* Treat an encoding of '' as ascii; this can happen when bzr is run
702
under vim on Mac OS X.
703
(Neil Martinsen-Burrell)
704
705
* ``VersionedFile.make_mpdiffs()`` was raising an exception that wasn't in
706
scope. (Daniel Fischer #235687)
707
708
DOCUMENTATION:
709
710
* Added directory structure and started translation of docs in spanish.
711
(Martin Albisetti, Lucio Albenga)
712
713
* Incorporate feedback from Jelmer Vernooij and Neil Martinsen-Burrell
714
on the plugin and integration chapters of the User Guide.
715
(Ian Clatworthy)
716
717
* More Bazaar developer documentation about packaging and release process,
718
and about use of Python reprs.
719
(Martin Pool, Martin Albisetti)
720
721
* Updated Tortise strategy document. (Mark Hammond)
722
723
TESTING:
724
725
* ``bzrlib.tests.adapt_tests`` was broken and unused - it has been fixed.
726
(Robert Collins)
727
728
* Fix the test HTTPServer to be isolated from chdir calls made while it is
729
running, allowing it to be used in blackbox tests. (Robert Collins)
730
731
* New helper function for splitting test suites
732
``split_suite_by_condition``. (Robert Collins)
733
734
INTERNALS:
735
736
* ``Branch.missing_revisions`` has been deprecated. Similar functionality
737
can be obtained using ``bzrlib.missing.find_unmerged``. The api was
738
fairly broken, and the function was unused, so we are getting rid of it.
739
(John Arbash Meinel)
740
741
API CHANGES:
742
743
* ``Branch.abspath`` is deprecated; use the Tree or Transport
744
instead. (Martin Pool)
745
746
* ``Branch.update_revisions`` now takes an optional ``Graph``
747
object. This can be used by ``update_revisions`` when it is
748
checking ancestry, and allows callers to prefer request to go to a
749
local branch. (John Arbash Meinel)
750
751
* Branch, Repository, Tree and BzrDir should expose a Transport as an
752
attribute if they have one, rather than having it indirectly accessible
753
as ``.control_files._transport``. This doesn't add a requirement
754
to support a Transport in cases where it was not needed before;
755
it just simplifies the way it is reached. (Martin Pool)
756
757
* ``bzr missing --mine-only`` will return status code 0 if you have no
758
new revisions, but the remote does. Similarly for ``--theirs-only``.
759
The new code only checks one side, so it doesn't know if the other
760
side has changes. This seems more accurate with the request anyway.
761
It also changes the output to print '[This|Other] branch is up to
762
date.' rather than displaying nothing. (John Arbash Meinel)
763
764
* ``LockableFiles.put_utf8``, ``put_bytes`` and ``controlfilename``
765
are now deprecated in favor of using Transport operations.
766
(Martin Pool)
767
768
* Many methods on ``VersionedFile``, ``Repository`` and in
769
``bzrlib.revision`` deprecated before bzrlib 1.5 have been removed.
770
(Robert Collins)
771
772
* ``RevisionSpec.wants_revision_history`` can be set to False for a given
773
``RevisionSpec``. This will disable the existing behavior of passing in
774
the full revision history to ``self._match_on``. Useful for specs that
775
don't actually need access to the full history. (John Arbash Meinel)
776
777
* The constructors of ``SmartClientMedium`` and its subclasses now require a
778
``base`` parameter. ``SmartClientMedium`` implementations now also need
779
to provide a ``remote_path_from_transport`` method. (Andrew Bennetts)
780
781
* The default permissions for creating new files and directories
782
should now be obtained from ``BzrDir._get_file_mode()`` and
783
``_get_dir_mode()``, rather than from LockableFiles. The ``_set_file_mode``
784
and ``_set_dir_mode`` variables on LockableFiles which were advertised
785
as a way for plugins to control this are no longer consulted.
786
(Martin Pool)
787
788
* ``VersionedFile.join`` is deprecated. This method required local
789
instances of both versioned file objects and was thus hostile to being
790
used for streaming from a smart server. The new get_record_stream and
791
insert_record_stream are meant to efficiently replace this method.
792
(Robert Collins)
793
794
* ``WorkingTree.set_parent_(ids/trees)`` will now filter out revisions
795
which are in the ancestry of other revisions. So if you merge the same
796
tree twice, or merge an ancestor of an existing merge, it will only
797
record the newest. (If you merge a descendent, it will replace its
798
ancestor). (John Arbash Meinel, #235407)
799
800
* ``WorkingTreeFormat2.stub_initialize_remote`` is now private.
801
(Martin Pool)

804
bzr 1.5 2008-05-16
805
------------------
806
807
This release of Bazaar includes several updates to the documentation, and fixes
808
to prepare for making rich root support the default format. Many bugs have been
809
squashed, including fixes to log, bzr+ssh inter-operation with older servers.
810
811
CHANGES:
812
813
* Suppress deprecation warnings when bzrlib is a 'final' release. This way
814
users of packaged software won't be bothered with DeprecationWarnings,
815
but developers and testers will still see them. (John Arbash Meinel)
816
817
DOCUMENTATION:
818
819
* Incorporate feedback from Jelmer Vernooij and Neil Martinsen-Burrell
820
on the plugin and integration chapters of the User Guide.

bzr 1.5rc1 2008-05-09
825
---------------------
826
827
NOTES WHEN UPGRADING:
828
829
CHANGES:
830
831
* Broader support of GNU Emacs mail clients. Set
832
``mail_client=emacsclient`` in your bazaar.conf and ``send`` will pop the
833
bundle in a mail buffer according to the value of ``mail-user-agent``
834
variable. (Xavier Maillard)
835
836
FEATURES:
837
838
IMPROVEMENTS:
839
840
* Diff now handles revision specs like "branch:" and "submit:" more
841
efficiently. (Aaron Bentley, #202928)
842
843
* More friendly error given when attempt to start the smart server
844
on an address already in use. (Andrea Corbellini, #200575)
845
846
* Pull completes much faster when there is nothing to pull.
847
(Aaron Bentley)
848
849
BUGFIXES:
850
851
* Authentication.conf can define sections without password.
852
(Vincent Ladeuil, #199440)
853
854
* Avoid muttering every time a child update does not cause a progress bar
855
update. (John Arbash Meinel, #213771)
856
857
* ``Branch.reconcile()`` is now implemented. This allows ``bzr reconcile``
858
to fix when a Branch has a non-canonical mainline history. ``bzr check``
859
also detects this condition. (John Arbash Meinel, #177855)
860
861
* ``bzr log -r ..X bzr://`` was failing, because it was getting a request
862
for ``revision_id=None`` which was not a string.
863
(John Arbash Meinel, #211661)
864
865
* ``bzr commit`` now works with Microsoft's FTP service.
866
(Andreas Deininger)
867
868
* Catch definitions outside sections in authentication.conf.
869
(Vincent Ladeuil, #217650)
870
871
* Conversion from non-rich-root to rich-root(-pack) updates inventory
872
sha1s, even when bundles are used. (Aaron Bentley, #181391)
873
874
* Conversion from non-rich-root to rich-root(-pack) works correctly even
875
though search keys are not topologically sorted. (Aaron Bentley)
876
877
* Conversion from non-rich-root to rich-root(-pack) works even when a
878
parent revision has a different root id. (Aaron Bentley, #177874)
879
880
* Disable strace testing until strace is fixed (see bug #103133) and emit a
881
warning when selftest ends to remind us of leaking tests.
882
(Vincent Ladeuil, #226769)
883
884
* Fetching all revisions from a repository does not cause pack collisions.
885
(Robert Collins, Aaron Bentley, #212908)
886
887
* Fix error about "attempt to add line-delta in non-delta knit".
888
(Andrew Bennetts, #217701)
889
890
* Pushing a branch in "dirstate" format (Branch5) over bzr+ssh would break
891
if the remote server was < version 1.2. This was due to a bug in the
892
RemoteRepository.get_parent_map() fallback code.
893
(John Arbash Meinel, #214894)
894
895
* Remove leftover code in ``bzr_branch`` that inappropriately creates
896
a ``branch-name`` file in the branch control directory.
897
(Martin Pool)
898
899
* Set SO_REUSEADDR on server sockets of ``bzr serve`` to avoid problems
900
rebinding the socket when starting the server a second time.
901
(John Arbash Meinel, Martin Pool, #164288)
902
903
* Severe performance degradation in fetching from knit repositories to
904
knits and packs due to parsing the entire revisions.kndx on every graph
905
walk iteration fixed by using the Repository.get_graph API. There was
906
another regression in knit => knit fetching which re-read the index for
907
every revision each side had in common.
908
(Robert Collins, John Arbash Meinel)
909
910
* When logging the changes to a particular file, there was a bug if there
911
were ghosts in the revision ancestry. (John Arbash Meinel, #209948)
912
913
* xs4all's ftp server returns a temporary error when trying to list an
914
empty directory, rather than returning an empty list. Adding a
915
workaround so that we don't get spurious failures.
916
(John Arbash Meinel, #215522)
917
918
DOCUMENTATION:
919
920
* Expanded the User Guide to include new chapters on popular plugins and
921
integrating Bazaar into your environment. The *Best practices* chapter
922
was renamed to *Miscellaneous topics* as suggested by community
923
feedback as well. (Ian Clatworthy)
924
925
* Document outlining strategies for TortoiseBzr. (Mark Hammond)
926
927
* Improved the documentation on hooks. (Ian Clatworthy)
928
929
* Update authentication docs regarding ssh agents.
930
(Vincent Ladeuil, #183705)
931
932
TESTING:
933
934
* Add ``thread_name_suffix`` parameter to SmartTCPServer_for_testing, to
935
make it easy to identify which test spawned a thread with an unhandled
936
exception. (Andrew Bennetts)
937
938
* New ``--debugflag``/``-E`` option to ``bzr selftest`` for setting
939
options for debugging tests, these are complementary to the the -D
940
options. The ``-Dselftest_debug`` global option has been replaced by the
941
``-E=allow_debug`` option for selftest. (Andrew Bennetts)
942
943
* Parameterised test ids are preserved correctly to aid diagnosis of test
944
failures. (Robert Collins, Andrew Bennetts)
945
946
* selftest now accepts --starting-with <id> to load only the tests whose id
947
starts with the one specified. This greatly speeds up running the test
948
suite on a limited set of tests and can be used to run the tests for a
949
single module, a single class or even a single test. (Vincent Ladeuil)
950
951
* The test suite modules have been modified to define load_tests() instead
952
of test_suite(). That speeds up selective loading (via --load-list)
953
significantly and provides many examples on how to migrate (grep for
954
load_tests). (Vincent Ladeuil)
955
956
INTERNALS:
957
958
* ``Hooks.install_hook`` is now deprecated in favour of
959
``Hooks.install_named_hook`` which adds a required ``name`` parameter, to
960
avoid having to call ``Hooks.name_hook``. (Daniel Watkins)
961
962
* Implement xml8 serializer. (Aaron Bentley)
963
964
* New form ``@deprecated_method(deprecated_in(1, 5, 0))`` for making
965
deprecation wrappers. (Martin Pool)
966
967
* ``Repository.revision_parents`` is now deprecated in favour of
968
``Repository.get_parent_map([revid])[revid]``. (Jelmer Vernooij)
969
970
* The Python ``assert`` statement is no longer used in Bazaar source, and
971
a test checks this. (Martin Pool)
972
973
API CHANGES:
974
975
* ``bzrlib.status.show_pending_merges`` requires the repository to be
976
locked by the caller. Callers should have been doing it anyway, but it
977
will now raise an exception if they do not. (John Arbash Meinel)
978
979
* Repository.get_data_stream, Repository.get_data_stream_for_search(),
980
Repository.get_deltas_for_revsions(), Repository.revision_trees(),
981
Repository.item_keys_introduced_by() no longer take read locks.
982
(Aaron Bentley)
983
984
* ``LockableFiles.get_utf8`` and ``.get`` are deprecated, as a start
985
towards removing LockableFiles and ``.control_files`` entirely.
986
(Martin Pool)
987
988
* Methods deprecated prior to 1.1 have been removed.

993
------------------
994
995
This release of Bazaar includes handy improvements to the speed of log and
996
status, new options for several commands, improved documentation, and better
997
hooks, including initial code for server-side hooks. A number of bugs have
998
been fixed, particularly in interoperability between different formats or
999
different releases of Bazaar over there network. There's been substantial
1000
internal work in both the repository and network code to enable new features
1001
and faster performance.
1002
1003
BUG FIXES:
1004
1005
* Pushing a branch in "dirstate" format (Branch5) over bzr+ssh would break
1006
if the remote server was < version 1.2. This was due to a bug in the
1007
RemoteRepository.get_parent_map() fallback code.

bzr 1.4rc2 2008-04-21
1012
---------------------
1013
1014
BUG FIXES:
1015
1016
* ``bzr log -r ..X bzr://`` was failing, because it was getting a request
1017
for ``revision_id=None`` which was not a string.
1018
(John Arbash Meinel, #211661)
1019
1020
* Fixed a bug in handling ghost revisions when logging changes in a
1021
particular file. (John Arbash Meinel, #209948)
1022
1023
* Fix error about "attempt to add line-delta in non-delta knit".
1024
(Andrew Bennetts, #205156)
1025
1026
* Fixed performance degradation in fetching from knit repositories to
1027
knits and packs due to parsing the entire revisions.kndx on every graph
1028
walk iteration fixed by using the Repository.get_graph API. There was
1029
another regression in knit => knit fetching which re-read the index for
1030
every revision each side had in common.

1035
---------------------
1036
1037
CHANGES:
1038
1039
* bzr main script cannot be imported (Benjamin Peterson)
1040
1041
* On Linux bzr additionally looks for plugins in arch-independent site
1042
directory. (Toshio Kuratomi)
1043
1044
* The ``set_rh`` branch hook is now deprecated. Please migrate
1045
any plugins using this hook to use an alternative, e.g.
1046
``post_change_branch_tip``. (Ian Clatworthy)
1047
1048
* When a plugin cannot be loaded as the file path is not a valid
1049
python module name bzr will now strip a ``bzr_`` prefix from the
1050
front of the suggested name, as many plugins (e.g. bzr-svn)
1051
want to be installed without this prefix. It is a common mistake
1052
to have a folder named "bzr-svn" for that plugin, especially
1053
as this is what bzr branch lp:bzr-svn will give you. (James Westby,
1054
Andrew Cowie)
1055
1056
* UniqueIntegerBugTracker now appends bug-ids instead of joining
1057
them to the base URL. Plugins that register bug trackers may
1058
need a trailing / added to the base URL if one is not already there.
1059
(James Wesby, Andrew Cowie)
1060
1061
FEATURES:
1062
1063
* Added start_commit hook for mutable trees. (Jelmer Vernooij, #186422)
1064
1065
* ``status`` now accepts ``--no-pending`` to show the status without
1066
listing pending merges, which speeds up the command a lot on large
1067
histories. (James Westby, #202830)
1068
1069
* New ``post_change_branch_tip`` hook that is called after the
1070
branch tip is moved but while the branch is still write-locked.
1071
See the User Reference for signature details.
1072
(Ian Clatworthy, James Henstridge)
1073
1074
* Reconfigure can convert a branch to be standalone or to use a shared
1075
repository. (Aaron Bentley)
1076
1077
IMPROVEMENTS:
1078
1079
* The smart protocol now has support for setting branches' revision info
1080
directly. This should make operations like push slightly faster, and is a
1081
step towards server-side hooks. The new request method name is
1082
``Branch.set_last_revision_info``. (Andrew Bennetts)
1083
1084
* ``bzr commit --fixes`` now recognises "gnome" as a tag by default.
1085
(James Westby, Andrew Cowie)
1086
1087
* ``bzr switch`` will attempt to find branches to switch to relative to the
1088
current branch. E.g. ``bzr switch branchname`` will look for
1089
``current_branch/../branchname``. (Robert Collins, Jelmer Vernooij,
1090
Wouter van Heyst)
1091
1092
* Diff is now more specific about execute-bit changes it describes
1093
(Chad Miller)
1094
1095
* Fetching data over HTTP is a bit faster when urllib is used. This is done
1096
by forcing it to recv 64k at a time when reading lines in HTTP headers,
1097
rather than just 1 byte at a time. (Andrew Bennetts)
1098
1099
* Log --short and --line are much faster when -r is not specified.
1100
(Aaron Bentley)
1101
1102
* Merge is faster. We no longer check a file's existence unnecessarily
1103
when merging the execute bit. (Aaron Bentley)
1104
1105
* ``bzr status`` on an explicit list of files no longer shows pending
1106
merges, making it much faster on large trees. (John Arbash Meinel)
1107
1108
* The launchpad directory service now warns the user if they have not set
1109
their launchpad login and are trying to resolve a URL using it, just
1110
in case they want to do a write operation with it. (James Westby)
1111
1112
* The smart protocol client is slightly faster, because it now only queries
1113
the server for the protocol version once per connection. Also, the HTTP
1114
transport will now automatically probe for and use a smart server if
1115
one is present. You can use the new ``nosmart+`` transport decorator
1116
to get the old behaviour. (Andrew Bennetts)
1117
1118
* The ``version`` command takes a ``--short`` option to print just the
1119
version number, for easier use in scripts. (Martin Pool)
1120
1121
* Various operations with revision specs and commands that calculate
1122
revnos and revision ids are faster. (John A. Meinel, Aaron Bentley)
1123
1124
BUGFIXES:
1125
1126
* Add ``root_client_path`` parameter to SmartWSGIApp and
1127
SmartServerRequest. This makes it possible to publish filesystem
1128
locations that don't exactly match URL paths. SmartServerRequest
1129
subclasses should use the new ``translate_client_path`` and
1130
``transport_from_client_path`` methods when dealing with paths received
1131
from a client to take this into account. (Andrew Bennetts, #124089)
1132
1133
* ``bzr mv a b`` can be now used also to rename previously renamed
1134
directories, not only files. (Lukáš Lalinský, #107967)
1135
1136
* ``bzr uncommit --local`` can now remove revisions from the local
1137
branch to be symmetric with ``bzr commit --local``.
1138
(John Arbash Meinel, #93412)
1139
1140
* Don't ask for a password if there is no real terminal.
1141
(Alexander Belchenko, #69851)
1142
1143
* Fix a bug causing a ValueError crash in ``parse_line_delta_iter`` when
1144
fetching revisions from a knit to pack repository or vice versa using
1145
bzr:// (including over http or ssh).
1146
(#208418, Andrew Bennetts, Martin Pool, Robert Collins)
1147
1148
* Fixed ``_get_line`` in ``bzrlib.smart.medium``, which was buggy. Also
1149
fixed ``_get_bytes`` in the same module to use the push back buffer.
1150
These bugs had no known impact in normal use, but were problematic for
1151
developers working on the code, and were likely to cause real bugs sooner
1152
or later. (Andrew Bennetts)
1153
1154
* Implement handling of basename parameter for DefaultMail. (James Westby)
1155
1156
* Incompatibility with Paramiko versions newer than 1.7.2 was fixed.
1157
(Andrew Bennetts, #213425)
1158
1159
* Launchpad locations (lp: URLs) can be pulled. (Aaron Bentley, #181945)
1160
1161
* Merges that add files to deleted root directories complete. They
1162
do create conflicts. (Aaron Bentley, #210092)
1163
1164
* vsftp's return ``550 RNFR command failed.`` supported.
1165
(Marcus Trautwig, #129786)
1166
1167
DOCUMENTATION:
1168
1169
* Improved documentation on send/merge relationship. (Peter Schuller)
1170
1171
* Minor fixes to the User Guide. (Matthew Fuller)
1172
1173
* Reduced the evangelism in the User Guide. (Ian Clatworthy)
1174
1175
* Added Integrating with Bazaar document for developers (Martin Albisetti)
1176
1177
API BREAKS:
1178
1179
* Attempting to pull data from a ghost aware repository (e.g. knits) into a
1180
non-ghost aware repository such as weaves will now fail if there are
1181
ghosts. (Robert Collins)
1182
1183
* ``KnitVersionedFile`` no longer accepts an ``access_mode`` parameter, and
1184
now requires the ``index`` and ``access_method`` parameters to be
1185
supplied. A compatible shim has been kept in the new function
1186
``knit.make_file_knit``. (Robert Collins)
1187
1188
* Log formatters must now provide log_revision instead of show and
1189
show_merge_revno methods. The latter had been deprecated since the 0.17
1190
release. (James Westby)
1191
1192
* ``LoopbackSFTP`` is now called ``SocketAsChannelAdapter``.
1193
(Andrew Bennetts)
1194
1195
* ``osutils.backup_file`` is removed. (Alexander Belchenko)
1196
1197
* ``Repository.get_revision_graph`` is deprecated, with no replacement
1198
method. The method was size(history) and not desirable. (Robert Collins)
1199
1200
* ``revision.revision_graph`` is deprecated, with no replacement function.
1201
The function was size(history) and not desirable. (Robert Collins)
1202
1203
* ``Transport.get_shared_medium`` is deprecated. Use
1204
``Transport.get_smart_medium`` instead. (Andrew Bennetts)
1205
1206
* ``VersionedFile`` factories now accept a get_scope parameter rather
1207
than using a call to ``transaction_finished``, allowing the removal of
1208
the fixed list of versioned files per repository. (Robert Collins)
1209
1210
* ``VersionedFile.annotate_iter`` is deprecated. While in principle this
1211
allowed lower memory use, all users of annotations wanted full file
1212
annotations, and there is no storage format suitable for incremental
1213
line-by-line annotation. (Robert Collins)
1214
1215
* ``VersionedFile.clone_text`` is deprecated. This performance optimisation
1216
is no longer used - reading the content of a file that is undergoing a
1217
file level merge to identical state on two branches is rare enough, and
1218
not expensive enough to special case. (Robert Collins)
1219
1220
* ``VersionedFile.clear_cache`` and ``enable_cache`` are deprecated.
1221
These methods added significant complexity to the ``VersionedFile``
1222
implementation, but were only used for optimising fetches from knits -
1223
which can be done from outside the knit layer, or via a caching
1224
decorator. As knits are not the default format, the complexity is no
1225
longer worth paying. (Robert Collins)
1226
1227
* ``VersionedFile.create_empty`` is removed. This method presupposed a
1228
sensible mapping to a transport for individual files, but pack backed
1229
versioned files have no such mapping. (Robert Collins)
1230
1231
* ``VersionedFile.get_graph`` is deprecated, with no replacement method.
1232
The method was size(history) and not desirable. (Robert Collins)
1233
1234
* ``VersionedFile.get_graph_with_ghosts`` is deprecated, with no
1235
replacement method. The method was size(history) and not desirable.
1236
(Robert Collins)
1237
1238
* ``VersionedFile.get_parents`` is deprecated, please use
1239
``VersionedFile.get_parent_map``. (Robert Collins)
1240
1241
* ``VersionedFile.get_sha1`` is deprecated, please use
1242
``VersionedFile.get_sha1s``. (Robert Collins)
1243
1244
* ``VersionedFile.has_ghost`` is now deprecated, as it is both expensive
1245
and unused outside of a single test. (Robert Collins)
1246
1247
* ``VersionedFile.iter_parents`` is now deprecated in favour of
1248
``get_parent_map`` which can be used to instantiate a Graph on a
1249
VersionedFile. (Robert Collins)
1250
1251
* ``VersionedFileStore`` no longer uses the transaction parameter given
1252
to most methods; amongst other things this means that the
1253
get_weave_or_empty method no longer guarantees errors on a missing weave
1254
in a readonly transaction, and no longer caches versioned file instances
1255
which reduces memory pressure (but requires more careful management by
1256
callers to preserve performance). (Robert Collins)
1257
1258
TESTING:
1259
1260
* New -Dselftest_debug flag disables clearing of the debug flags during
1261
tests. This is useful if you want to use e.g. -Dhpss to help debug a
1262
failing test. Be aware that using this feature is likely to cause
1263
spurious test failures if used with the full suite. (Andrew Bennetts)
1264
1265
* selftest --load-list now uses a new more agressive test loader that will
1266
avoid loading unneeded modules and building their tests. Plugins can use
1267
this new loader by defining a load_tests function instead of a test_suite
1268
function. (a forthcoming patch will provide many examples on how to
1269
implement this).
1270
(Vincent Ladeuil)
1271
1272
* selftest --load-list now does some sanity checks regarding duplicate test
1273
IDs and tests present in the list but not found in the actual test suite.
1274
(Vincent Ladeuil)
1275
1276
* Slightly more concise format for the selftest progress bar, so there's
1277
more space to show the test name. (Martin Pool) ::
1278
1279
[2500/10884, 1fail, 3miss in 1m29s] test_revisionnamespaces.TestRev
1280
1281
* The test suite takes much less memory to run, and is a bit faster. This
1282
is done by clearing most attributes of TestCases after running them, if
1283
they succeeded. (Andrew Bennetts)
1284
1285
INTERNALS:
1286
1287
* Added ``_build_client_protocol`` to ``_SmartClient``. (Andrew Bennetts)
1288
1289
* Added basic infrastructure for automatic plugin suggestion.
1290
(Martin Albisetti)
1291
1292
* If a ``LockableFiles`` object is not explicitly unlocked (for example
1293
because of a missing ``try/finally`` block, it will give a warning but
1294
not automatically unlock itself. (Previously they did.) This
1295
sometimes caused knock-on errors if for example the network connection
1296
had already failed, and should not be relied upon by code.
1297
(Martin Pool, #109520)
1298
1299
* ``make dist`` target to build a release tarball, and also
1300
``check-dist-tarball`` and ``dist-upload-escudero``. (Martin Pool)
1301
1302
* The ``read_response_tuple`` method of ``SmartClientRequestProtocol*``
1303
classes will now raise ``UnknownSmartMethod`` when appropriate, so that
1304
callers don't need to try distinguish unknown request errors from other
1305
errors. (Andrew Bennetts)
1306
1307
* ``set_make_working_trees`` is now implemented provided on all repository
1308
implementations (Aaron Bentley)
1309
1310
* ``VersionedFile`` now has a new method ``get_parent_map`` which, like
1311
``Graph.get_parent_map`` returns a dict of key:parents. (Robert Collins)

1333
1334
Bazaar has become part of the GNU project <http://www.gnu.org>
1335
1336
Many operations that act on history, including ``log`` and ``annotate`` are now
1337
substantially faster. Several bugs have been fixed and several new options and
1338
features have been added.
1339

NOTES WHEN UPGRADING:
1351
1352
* The backup directory created by ``upgrade`` is now called
1353
``backup.bzr``, not ``.bzr.backup``. (Martin Albisetti)
1354
1355
CHANGES:
1356
1357
* A new repository format 'development' has been added. This format will
1358
represent the latest 'in-progress' format that the bzr developers are
1359
interested in getting early-adopter testing and feedback on.
1360
``doc/developers/development-repo.txt`` has detailed information.
1361
(Robert Collins)
1362
1363
* BZR_LOG environment variable controls location of .bzr.log trace file.
1364
User can suppress writing messages to .bzr.log by using '/dev/null'
1365
filename (on Linux) or 'NUL' (on Windows). If BZR_LOG variable
1366
is not defined but BZR_HOME is defined then default location
1367
for .bzr.log trace file is ``$BZR_HOME/.bzr.log``.
1368
(Alexander Belchenko)
1369
1370
* ``launchpad`` builtin plugin now shipped as separate part in standalone
1371
bzr.exe, installed to ``C:\Program Files\Bazaar\plugins`` directory,
1372
and standalone installer allows user to skip installation of this plugin.
1373
(Alexander Belchenko)
1374
1375
* Restore auto-detection of plink.exe on Windows. (Dmitry Vasiliev)
1376
1377
* Version number is now shown as "1.2" or "1.2pr2", without zeroed or
1378
missing final fields. (Martin Pool)
1379
1380
FEATURES:
1381
1382
* ``branch`` and ``checkout`` can hard-link working tree files, which is
1383
faster and saves space. (Aaron Bentley)
1384
1385
* ``bzr send`` will now also look at the ``child_submit_to`` setting in
1386
the submit branch to determine the email address to send to.
1387
(Jelmer Vernooij)
1388
1389
IMPROVEMENTS:
1390
1391
* BzrBranch._lefthand_history is faster on pack repos. (Aaron Bentley)
1392
1393
* Branch6.generate_revision_history is faster. (Aaron Bentley)
1394
1395
* Directory services can now be registered, allowing special URLs to be
1396
dereferenced into real URLs. This is a generalization and cleanup of
1397
the lp: transport lookup. (Aaron Bentley)
1398
1399
* Merge directives that are automatically attached to emails have nicer
1400
filenames, based on branch-nick + revno. (Aaron Bentley)
1401
1402
* ``push`` has a ``--revision`` option, to specify what revision to push up
1403
to. (Daniel Watkins)
1404
1405
* Significantly reducing execution time and network traffic for trivial
1406
case of running ``bzr missing`` command for two identical branches.
1407
(Alexander Belchenko)
1408
1409
* Speed up operations that look at the revision graph (such as 'bzr log').
1410
``KnitPackRepositor.get_revision_graph`` uses ``Graph.iter_ancestry`` to
1411
extract the revision history. This allows filtering ghosts while
1412
stepping instead of needing to peek ahead. (John Arbash Meinel)
1413
1414
* The ``hooks`` command lists installed hooks, to assist in debugging.
1415
(Daniel Watkins)
1416
1417
* Updates to how ``annotate`` work. Should see a measurable improvement in
1418
performance and memory consumption for file with a lot of merges.
1419
Also, correctly handle when a line is introduced by both parents (it
1420
should be attributed to the first merge which notices this, and not
1421
to all subsequent merges.) (John Arbash Meinel)
1422
1423
BUGFIXES:
1424
1425
* Autopacking no longer holds the full set of inventory lines in
1426
memory while copying. For large repositories, this can amount to
1427
hundreds of MB of ram consumption.
1428
(Ian Clatworthy, John Arbash Meinel)
1429
1430
* Cherrypicking when using ``--format=merge3`` now explictly excludes
1431
BASE lines. (John Arbash Meinel, #151731)
1432
1433
* Disable plink's interactive prompt for password.
1434
(#107593, Dmitry Vasiliev)
1435
1436
* Encode command line arguments from unicode to user_encoding before
1437
invoking external mail client in `bzr send` command.
1438
(#139318, Alexander Belchenko)
1439
1440
* Fixed problem connecting to ``bzr+https://`` servers.
1441
(#198793, John Ferlito)
1442
1443
* Improved error reporting in the Launchpad plugin. (Daniel Watkins,
1444
#196618)
1445
1446
* Include quick-start-summary.svg file to python-based installer(s)
1447
for Windows. (#192924, Alexander Belchenko)
1448
1449
* lca merge now respects specified files. (Aaron Bentley)
1450
1451
* Make version-info --custom imply --all. (#195560, James Westby)
1452
1453
* ``merge --preview`` now works for merges that add or modify
1454
symlinks (James Henstridge)
1455
1456
* Redirecting the output from ``bzr merge`` (when the remembered
1457
location is used) now works. (John Arbash Meinel)
1458
1459
* setup.py script explicitly checks for Python version.
1460
(Jari Aalto, Alexander Belchenko, #200569)
1461
1462
* UnknownFormatErrors no longer refer to branches regardless of kind of
1463
unknown format. (Daniel Watkins, #173980)
1464
1465
* Upgrade bundled ConfigObj to version 4.5.2, which properly quotes #
1466
signs, among other small improvements. (Matt Nordhoff, #86838)
1467
1468
* Use correct indices when emitting LCA conflicts. This fixes IndexError
1469
errors. (Aaron Bentley, #196780)
1470
1471
DOCUMENTATION:
1472
1473
* Explained how to use ``version-info --custom`` in the User Guide.
1474
(Neil Martinsen-Burrell)
1475
1476
API BREAKS:
1477
1478
* Support for loading plugins from zip files and
1479
``bzrlib.plugin.load_from_zip()`` function are deprecated.
1480
(Alexander Belchenko)
1481
1482
TESTING:
1483
1484
* Added missing blackbox tests for ``modified`` (Adrian Wilkins)
1485
1486
* The branch interface tests were invalid for branches using rich-root
1487
repositories because the empty string is not a valid file-id.
1488
(Robert Collins)
1489
1490
INTERNALS:
1491
1492
* ``Graph.iter_ancestry`` returns the ancestry of revision ids. Similar to
1493
``Repository.get_revision_graph()`` except it includes ghosts and you can
1494
stop part-way through. (John Arbash Meinel)
1495
1496
* New module ``tools/package_mf.py`` provide custom module finder for
1497
python packages (improves standard python library's modulefinder.py)
1498
used by ``setup.py`` script while building standalone bzr.exe.
1499
(Alexander Belchenko)
1500
1501
* New remote method ``RemoteBzrDir.find_repositoryV2`` adding support for
1502
detecting external lookup support on remote repositories. This method is
1503
now attempted first when lookup up repositories, leading to an extra
1504
round trip on older bzr smart servers. (Robert Collins)
1505
1506
* Repository formats have a new supported-feature attribute
1507
``supports_external_lookups`` used to indicate repositories which support
1508
falling back to other repositories when they have partial data.
1509
(Robert Collins)
1510
1511
* ``Repository.get_revision_graph_with_ghosts`` and
1512
``bzrlib.revision.(common_ancestor,MultipleRevisionSources,common_graph)``
1513
have been deprecated. (John Arbash Meinel)
1514
1515
* ``Tree.iter_changes`` is now a public API, replacing the work-in-progress
1516
``Tree._iter_changes``. The api is now considered stable and ready for
1517
external users. (Aaron Bentley)
1518
1519
* The bzrdir format registry now accepts an ``alias`` keyword to
1520
register_metadir, used to indicate that a format name is an alias for
1521
some other format and thus should not be reported when describing the
1522
format. (Robert Collins)

1536
NOTES WHEN UPGRADING:
1537
1538
* Fetching via the smart protocol may need to reconnect once during a fetch
1539
if the remote server is running Bazaar 1.1 or earlier, because the client
1540
attempts to use more efficient requests that confuse older servers. You
1541
may be required to re-enter a password or passphrase when this happens.
1542
This won't happen if the server is upgraded to Bazaar 1.2.
1543
(Andrew Bennetts)
1544
1545
CHANGES:
1546
1547
* Fetching via bzr+ssh will no longer fill ghosts by default (this is
1548
consistent with pack-0.92 fetching over SFTP). (Robert Collins)
1549
1550
* Formatting of ``bzr plugins`` output is changed to be more human-
1551
friendly. Full path of plugins locations will be shown only with
1552
``--verbose`` command-line option. (Alexander Belchenko)
1553
1554
* ``merge`` now prefers to use the submit branch, but will fall back to
1555
parent branch. For many users, this has no effect. But some users who
1556
pull and merge on the same branch will notice a change. This change
1557
makes it easier to work on a branch on two different machines, pulling
1558
between the machines, while merging from the upstream.
1559
``merge --remember`` can now be used to set the submit_branch.
1560
(Aaron Bentley)
1561
1562
FEATURES:
1563
1564
* ``merge --preview`` produces a diff of the changes merge would make,
1565
but does not actually perform the merge. (Aaron Bentley)
1566
1567
* New smart method ``Repository.get_parent_map`` for getting revision
1568
parent data. This returns additional parent information topologically
1569
adjacent to the requested data to reduce round trip latency impacts.
1570
(Robert Collins)
1571
1572
* New smart method, ``Repository.stream_revisions_chunked``, for fetching
1573
revision data that streams revision data via a chunked encoding. This
1574
avoids buffering large amounts of revision data on the server and on the
1575
client, and sends less data to the server to request the revisions.
1576
(Andrew Bennetts, Robert Collins, #178353)
1577
1578
* The launchpad plugin now handles lp urls of the form
1579
``lp://staging/``, ``lp://demo/``, ``lp://dev/`` to use the appropriate
1580
launchpad instance to do the resolution of the branch identities.
1581
This is primarily of use to Launchpad developers, but can also
1582
be used by other users who want to try out Launchpad as
1583
a branch location without messing up their public Launchpad
1584
account. Branches that are pushed to the staging environment
1585
have an expected lifetime of one day. (Tim Penhey)
1586
1587
IMPROVEMENTS:
1588
1589
* Creating a new branch no longer tries to read the entire revision-history
1590
unnecessarily over smart server operations. (Robert Collins)
1591
1592
* Fetching between different repository formats with compatible models now
1593
takes advantage of the smart method to stream revisions. (Andrew Bennetts)
1594
1595
* The ``--coverage`` option is now global, rather specific to ``bzr
1596
selftest``. (Andrew Bennetts)
1597
1598
* The ``register-branch`` command will now use the public url of the branch
1599
containing the current directory, if one has been set and no explicit
1600
branch is provided. (Robert Collins)
1601
1602
* Tweak the ``reannotate`` code path to optimize the 2-parent case.
1603
Speeds up ``bzr annotate`` with a pack repository by approx 3:2.
1604
(John Arbash Meinel)
1605
1606
BUGFIXES:
1607
1608
* Calculate remote path relative to the shared medium in _SmartClient. This
1609
is related to the problem in bug #124089. (Andrew Bennetts)
1610
1611
* Cleanly handle connection errors in smart protocol version two, the same
1612
way as they are handled by version one. (Andrew Bennetts)
1613
1614
* Clearer error when ``version-info --custom`` is used without
1615
``--template`` (Lukáš Lalinský)
1616
1617
* Don't raise UnavailableFeature during test setup when medusa is not
1618
available or tearDown is never called leading to nasty side effects.
1619
(#137823, Vincent Ladeuil)
1620
1621
* If a plugin's test suite cannot be loaded, for example because of a syntax
1622
error in the tests, then ``selftest`` fails, rather than just printing
1623
a warning. (Martin Pool, #189771)
1624
1625
* List possible values for BZR_SSH environment variable in env-variables
1626
help topic. (Alexander Belchenko, #181842)
1627
1628
* New methods ``push_log_file`` and ``pop_log_file`` to intercept messages:
1629
popping the log redirection now precisely restores the previous state,
1630
which makes it easier to use bzr log output from other programs.
1631
TestCaseInTempDir no longer depends on a log redirection being established
1632
by the test framework, which lets bzr tests cleanly run from a normal
1633
unittest runner.
1634
(#124153, #124849, Martin Pool, Jonathan Lange)
1635
1636
* ``pull --quiet`` is now more quiet, in particular a message is no longer
1637
printed when the remembered pull location is used. (James Westby,
1638
#185907)
1639
1640
* ``reconfigure`` can safely be interrupted while fetching.
1641
(Aaron Bentley, #179316)
1642
1643
* ``reconfigure`` preserves tags when converting to and from lightweight
1644
checkouts. (Aaron Bentley, #182040)
1645
1646
* Stop polluting /tmp when running selftest.
1647
(Vincent Ladeuil, #123623)
1648
1649
* Switch from NFKC => NFC for normalization checks. NFC allows a few
1650
more characters which should be considered valid.
1651
(John Arbash Meinel, #185458)
1652
1653
* The launchpad plugin now uses the ``edge`` xmlrpc server to avoid
1654
interacting badly with a bug on the launchpad side. (Robert Collins)
1655
1656
* Unknown hostnames when connecting to a ``bzr://`` URL no longer cause
1657
tracebacks. (Andrew Bennetts, #182849)
1658
1659
API BREAKS:
1660
1661
* Classes implementing Merge types like Merge3Merger must now accept (and
1662
honour) a do_merge flag in their constructor. (Aaron Bentley)
1663
1664
* ``Repository.add_inventory`` and ``add_revision`` now require the caller
1665
to previously take a write lock (and start a write group.)
1666
(Martin Pool)
1667
1668
TESTING:
1669
1670
* selftest now accepts --load-list <file> to load a test id list. This
1671
speeds up running the test suite on a limited set of tests.
1672
(Vincent Ladeuil)
1673
1674
INTERNALS:
1675
1676
* Add a new method ``get_result`` to graph search objects. The resulting
1677
``SearchResult`` can be used to recreate the search later, which will
1678
be useful in reducing network traffic. (Robert Collins)
1679
1680
* Use convenience function to check whether two repository handles
1681
are referring to the same repository in ``Repository.get_graph``.
1682
(Jelmer Vernooij, #187162)
1683
1684
* Fetching now passes the find_ghosts flag through to the
1685
``InterRepository.missing_revision_ids`` call consistently for all
1686
repository types. This will enable faster missing revision discovery with
1687
bzr+ssh. (Robert Collins)
1688
1689
* Fix error handling in Repository.insert_data_stream. (Lukas Lalinsky)
1690
1691
* ``InterRepository.missing_revision_ids`` is now deprecated in favour of
1692
``InterRepository.search_missing_revision_ids`` which returns a
1693
``bzrlib.graph.SearchResult`` suitable for making requests from the smart
1694
server. (Robert Collins)
1695
1696
* New error ``NoPublicBranch`` for commands that need a public branch to
1697
operate. (Robert Collins)
1698
1699
* New method ``iter_inventories`` on Repository for access to many
1700
inventories. This is primarily used by the ``revision_trees`` method, as
1701
direct access to inventories is discouraged. (Robert Collins)
1702
1703
* New method ``next_with_ghosts`` on the Graph breadth-first-search objects
1704
which will split out ghosts and present parents into two separate sets,
1705
useful for code which needs to be aware of ghosts (e.g. fetching data
1706
cares about ghosts during revision selection). (Robert Collins)
1707
1708
* Record a timestamp against each mutter to the trace file, relative to the
1709
first import of bzrlib. (Andrew Bennetts)
1710
1711
* ``Repository.get_data_stream`` is now deprecated in favour of
1712
``Repository.get_data_stream_for_search`` which allows less network
1713
traffic when requesting data streams over a smart server. (Robert Collins)
1714
1715
* ``RemoteBzrDir._get_tree_branch`` no longer triggers ``_ensure_real``,
1716
removing one round trip on many network operations. (Robert Collins)
1717
1718
* RemoteTransport's ``recommended_page_size`` method now returns 64k, like
1719
SFTPTransport and HttpTransportBase. (Andrew Bennetts)
1720
1721
* Repository has a new method ``has_revisions`` which signals the presence
1722
of many revisions by returning a set of the revisions listed which are
1723
present. This can be done by index queries without reading data for parent
1724
revision names etc. (Robert Collins)
1725

1731
1732
bzr 1.1rc1 2008-01-05
1733
---------------------
1734
1735
CHANGES:
1736
1737
* Dotted revision numbers have been revised. Instead of growing longer with
1738
nested branches the branch number just increases. (eg instead of 1.1.1.1.1
1739
we now report 1.2.1.) This helps scale long lived branches which have many
1740
feature branches merged between them. (John Arbash Meinel)
1741
1742
* The syntax ``bzr diff branch1 branch2`` is no longer supported.
1743
Use ``bzr diff branch1 --new branch2`` instead. This change has
1744
been made to remove the ambiguity where ``branch2`` is in fact a
1745
specific file to diff within ``branch1``.
1746
1747
FEATURES:
1748
1749
* New option to use custom template-based formats in ``bzr version-info``.
1750
(Lukáš Lalinský)
1751
1752
* diff '--using' allows an external diff tool to be used for files.
1753
(Aaron Bentley)
1754
1755
* New "lca" merge-type for fast everyday merging that also supports
1756
criss-cross merges. (Aaron Bentley)
1757
1758
IMPROVEMENTS:
1759
1760
* ``annotate`` now doesn't require a working tree. (Lukáš Lalinský,
1761
#90049)
1762
1763
* ``branch`` and ``checkout`` can now use files from a working tree to
1764
to speed up the process. For checkout, this requires the new
1765
--files-from flag. (Aaron Bentley)
1766
1767
* ``bzr diff`` now sorts files in alphabetical order. (Aaron Bentley)
1768
1769
* ``bzr diff`` now works on branches without working trees. Tree-less
1770
branches can also be compared to each other and to working trees using
1771
the new diff options ``--old`` and ``--new``. Diffing between branches,
1772
with or without trees, now supports specific file filtering as well.
1773
(Ian Clatworthy, #6700)
1774
1775
* ``bzr pack`` now orders revision texts in topological order, with newest
1776
at the start of the file, promoting linear reads for ``bzr log`` and the
1777
like. This partially fixes #154129. (Robert Collins)
1778
1779
* Merge directives now fetch prerequisites from the target branch if
1780
needed. (Aaron Bentley)
1781
1782
* pycurl now handles digest authentication.
1783
(Vincent Ladeuil)
1784
1785
* ``reconfigure`` can now convert from repositories. (Aaron Bentley)
1786
1787
* ``-l`` is now a short form for ``--limit`` in ``log``. (Matt Nordhoff)
1788
1789
* ``merge`` now warns when merge directives cause cherrypicks.
1790
(Aaron Bentley)
1791
1792
* ``split`` now supported, to enable splitting large trees into smaller
1793
pieces. (Aaron Bentley)
1794
1795
BUGFIXES:
1796
1797
* Avoid AttributeError when unlocking a pack repository when an error occurs.
1798
(Martin Pool, #180208)
1799
1800
* Better handle short reads when processing multiple range requests.
1801
(Vincent Ladeuil, #179368)
1802
1803
* build_tree acceleration uses the correct path when a file has been moved.
1804
(Aaron Bentley)
1805
1806
* ``commit`` now succeeds when a checkout and its master branch share a
1807
repository. (Aaron Bentley, #177592)
1808
1809
* Fixed error reporting of unsupported timezone format in
1810
``log --timezone``. (Lukáš Lalinský, #178722)
1811
1812
* Fixed Unicode encoding error in ``ignored`` when the output is
1813
redirected to a pipe. (Lukáš Lalinský)
1814
1815
* Fix traceback when sending large response bodies over the smart protocol
1816
on Windows. (Andrew Bennetts, #115781)
1817
1818
* Fix ``urlutils.relative_url`` for the case of two ``file:///`` URLs
1819
pointed to different logical drives on Windows.
1820
(Alexander Belchenko, #90847)
1821
1822
* HTTP test servers are now compatible with the http protocol version 1.1.
1823
(Vincent Ladeuil, #175524)
1824
1825
* _KnitParentsProvider.get_parent_map now handles requests for ghosts
1826
correctly, instead of erroring or attributing incorrect parents to ghosts.
1827
(Aaron Bentley)
1828
1829
* ``merge --weave --uncommitted`` now works. (Aaron Bentley)
1830
1831
* pycurl authentication handling was broken and incomplete. Fix handling of
1832
user:pass embedded in the urls.
1833
(Vincent Ladeuil, #177643)
1834
1835
* Files inside non-directories are now handled like other conflict types.
1836
(Aaron Bentley, #177390)
1837
1838
* ``reconfigure`` is able to convert trees into lightweight checkouts.
1839
(Aaron Bentley)
1840
1841
* Reduce lockdir timeout to 0 when running ``bzr serve``. (Andrew Bennetts,
1842
#148087)
1843
1844
* Test that the old ``version_info_format`` functions still work, even
1845
though they are deprecated. (John Arbash Meinel, ShenMaq, #177872)
1846
1847
* Transform failures no longer cause ImmortalLimbo errors (Aaron Bentley,
1848
#137681)
1849
1850
* ``uncommit`` works even when the commit messages of revisions to be
1851
removed use characters not supported in the terminal encoding.
1852
(Aaron Bentley)
1853
1854
* When dumb http servers return whole files instead of the requested ranges,
1855
read the remaining bytes by chunks to avoid overflowing network buffers.
1856
(Vincent Ladeuil, #175886)
1857
1858
DOCUMENTATION:
1859
1860
* Minor tweaks made to the bug tracker integration documentation.
1861
(Ian Clatworthy)
1862
1863
* Reference material has now be moved out of the User Guide and added
1864
to the User Reference. The User Reference has gained 4 sections as
1865
a result: Authenication Settings, Configuration Settings, Conflicts
1866
and Hooks. All help topics are now dumped into text format in the

2017
2018
* ``switch`` can now be used on heavyweight checkouts as well as
2019
lightweight ones. After switching a heavyweight checkout, the
2020
local branch is a mirror/cache of the new bound branch and
2021
uncommitted changes in the working tree are merged. As a safety
2022
check, if there are local commits in a checkout which have not
2023
been committed to the previously bound branch, then ``switch``
2024
fails unless the ``--force`` option is given. This option is
2025
now also required if the branch a lightweight checkout is pointing
2026
to has been moved. (Ian Clatworthy)

2062
---------------------
2063
2064
NOTES WHEN UPGRADING:
2065
2066
* The default repository format is now ``pack-0.92``. This
2067
default is used when creating new repositories with ``init`` and
2068
``init-repo``, and when branching over bzr+ssh or bzr+hpss.
2069
(See https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/164626)
2070
2071
This format can be read and written by Bazaar 0.92 and later, and
2072
data can be transferred to and from older formats.
2073
2074
To upgrade, please reconcile your repository (``bzr reconcile``), and then
2075
upgrade (``bzr upgrade``).
2076
2077
``pack-0.92`` offers substantially better scaling and performance than the
2078
previous knits format. Some operations are slower where the code already
2079
had bad scaling characteristics under knits, the pack format makes such
2080
operations more visible as part of being more scalable overall. We will
2081
correct such operations over the coming releases and encourage the filing
2082
of bugs on any operation which you observe to be slower in a packs
2083
repository. One particular case that we do not intend to fix is pulling
2084
data from a pack repository into a knit repository over a high latency
2085
link; downgrading such data requires reinsertion of the file texts, and
2086
this is a classic space/time tradeoff. The current implementation is
2087
conservative on memory usage because we need to support converting data
2088
from any tree without problems.
2089
(Robert Collins, Martin Pool, #164476)
2090
2091
CHANGES:
2092
2093
* Disable detection of plink.exe as possible ssh vendor. Plink vendor
2094
still available if user selects it explicitly with BZR_SSH environment
2095
variable. (Alexander Belchenko, workaround for bug #107593)
2096
2097
* The pack format is now accessible as "pack-0.92", or "pack-0.92-subtree"
2098
to enable the subtree functions (for example, for bzr-svn).
2099
See http://doc.bazaar-vcs.org/latest/developer/packrepo.html
2100
(Martin Pool)
2101
2102
FEATURES:
2103
2104
* New ``authentication.conf`` file holding the password or other credentials
2105
for remote servers. This can be used for ssh, sftp, smtp and other
2106
supported transports.
2107
(Vincent Ladeuil)
2108
2109
* New rich-root and rich-root-pack formats, recording the same data about
2110
tree roots that's recorded for all other directories.
2111
(Aaron Bentley, #164639)
2112
2113
* ``pack-0.92`` repositories can now be reconciled.
2114
(Robert Collins, #154173)
2115
2116
* ``switch`` command added for changing the branch a lightweight checkout
2117
is associated with and updating the tree to reflect the latest content
2118
accordingly. This command was previously part of the BzrTools plug-in.
2119
(Ian Clatworthy, Aaron Bentley, David Allouche)
2120
2121
* ``reconfigure`` command can now convert branches, trees, or checkouts to
2122
lightweight checkouts. (Aaron Bentley)
2123
2124
PERFORMANCE:
2125
2126
* Commit updates the state of the working tree via a delta rather than
2127
supplying entirely new basis trees. For commit of a single specified file
2128
this reduces the wall clock time for commit by roughly a 30%.
2129
(Robert Collins, Martin Pool)
2130
2131
* Commit with many automatically found deleted paths no longer performs
2132
linear scanning for the children of those paths during inventory
2133
iteration. This should fix commit performance blowing out when many such
2134
paths occur during commit. (Robert Collins, #156491)
2135
2136
* Fetch with pack repositories will no longer read the entire history graph.
2137
(Robert Collins, #88319)
2138
2139
* Revert takes out an appropriate lock when reverting to a basis tree, and
2140
does not read the basis inventory twice. (Robert Collins)
2141
2142
* Diff does not require an inventory to be generated on dirstate trees.
2143
(Aaron Bentley, #149254)
2144
2145
* New annotate merge (--merge-type=weave) implementation is fast on
2146
versionedfiles withough cached annotations, e.g. pack-0.92.
2147
(Aaron Bentley)
2148
2149
IMPROVEMENTS:
2150
2151
* ``bzr merge`` now warns when it encounters a criss-cross merge.
2152
(Aaron Bentley)
2153
2154
* ``bzr send`` now doesn't require the target e-mail address to be
2155
specified on the command line if an interactive e-mail client is used.
2156
(Lukáš Lalinský)
2157
2158
* ``bzr tags`` now prints the revision number for each tag, instead of
2159
the revision id, unless --show-ids is passed. In addition, tags can be
2160
sorted chronologically instead of lexicographically with --sort=time.
2161
(Adeodato Simó, #120231)
2162
2163
* Windows standalone version of bzr is able to load system-wide plugins from
2164
"plugins" subdirectory in installation directory. In addition standalone
2165
installer write to the registry (HKLM\SOFTWARE\Bazaar) useful info
2166
about paths and bzr version. (Alexander Belchenko, #129298)

2175
* Branching from a branch via smart server now preserves the repository
2176
format. (Andrew Bennetts, #164626)
2177
2178
* ``commit`` is now able to invoke an external editor in a non-ascii
2179
directory. (Daniel Watkins, #84043)
2180
2181
* Catch connection errors for ftp.
2182
(Vincent Ladeuil, #164567)
2183
2184
* ``check`` no longer reports spurious unreferenced text versions.
2185
(Robert Collins, John A Meinel, #162931, #165071)
2186
2187
* Conflicts are now resolved recursively by ``revert``.
2188
(Aaron Bentley, #102739)
2189
2190
* Detect invalid transport reuse attempts by catching invalid URLs.
2191
(Vincent Ladeuil, #161819)
2192
2193
* Deleting a file without removing it shows a correct diff, not a traceback.
2194
(Aaron Bentley)
2195
2196
* Do no use timeout in HttpServer anymore.
2197
(Vincent Ladeuil, #158972).
2198
2199
* Don't catch the exceptions related to the http pipeline status before
2200
retrying an http request or some programming errors may be masked.
2201
(Vincent Ladeuil, #160012)
2202
2203
* Fix ``bzr rm`` to not delete modified and ignored files.
2204
(Lukáš Lalinský, #172598)
2205
2206
* Fix exception when revisionspec contains merge revisons but log
2207
formatter doesn't support merge revisions. (Kent Gibson, #148908)
2208
2209
* Fix exception when ScopeReplacer is assigned to before any members have
2210
been retrieved. (Aaron Bentley)
2211
2212
* Fix multiple connections during checkout --lightweight.
2213
(Vincent Ladeuil, #159150)
2214
2215
* Fix possible error in insert_data_stream when copying between
2216
pack repositories over bzr+ssh or bzr+http.
2217
KnitVersionedFile.get_data_stream now makes sure that requested
2218
compression parents are sent before any delta hunks that depend
2219
on them.
2220
(Martin Pool, #164637)
2221
2222
* Fix typo in limiting offsets coalescing for http, leading to
2223
whole files being downloaded instead of parts.
2224
(Vincent Ladeuil, #165061)
2225
2226
* FTP server errors don't error in the error handling code.
2227
(Robert Collins, #161240)
2228
2229
* Give a clearer message when a pull fails because the source needs
2230
to be reconciled.
2231
(Martin Pool, #164443)
2232
2233
* It is clearer when a plugin cannot be loaded because of its name, and a
2234
suggestion for an acceptable name is given. (Daniel Watkins, #103023)
2235
2236
* Leave port as None in transport objects if user doesn't
2237
specify a port in urls.
2238
(vincent Ladeuil, #150860)
2239
2240
* Make sure Repository.fetch(self) is properly a no-op for all
2241
Repository implementations. (John Arbash Meinel, #158333)
2242
2243
* Mark .bzr directories as "hidden" on Windows.
2244
(Alexander Belchenko, #71147)
2245
2246
* ``merge --uncommitted`` can now operate on a single file.
2247
(Aaron Bentley, Lukáš Lalinský, #136890)
2248
2249
* Obsolete packs are now cleaned up by pack and autopack operations.
2250
(Robert Collins, #153789)
2251
2252

2255
2256
* Reconcile now shows progress bars. (Robert Collins, #159351)
2257
2258
* ``RemoteBranch`` was not initializing ``self._revision_id_to_revno_map``
2259
properly. (John Arbash Meinel, #162486)
2260
2261
* Removing an already-removed file reports the file does not exist. (Daniel
2262
Watkins, #152811)
2263
2264
* Rename on Windows is able to change filename case.
2265
(Alexander Belchenko, #77740)
2266
2267
* Return error instead of a traceback for ``bzr log -r0``.
2268
(Kent Gibson, #133751)
2269
2270
* Return error instead of a traceback when bzr is unable to create
2271
symlink on some platforms (e.g. on Windows).
2272
(Alexander Belchenko, workaround for #81689)
2273
2274
* Revert doesn't crash when restoring a single file from a deleted
2275
directory. (Aaron Bentley)
2276
2277
* Stderr output via logging mechanism now goes through encoded wrapper
2278
and no more uses utf-8, but terminal encoding instead. So all unicode
2279
strings now should be readable in non-utf-8 terminal.
2280
(Alexander Belchenko, #54173)
2281
2282
* The error message when ``move --after`` should be used makes how to do so
2283
clearer. (Daniel Watkins, #85237)
2284
2285
* Unicode-safe output from ``bzr info``. The output will be encoded
2286
using the terminal encoding and unrepresentable characters will be
2287
replaced by '?'. (Lukáš Lalinský, #151844)
2288
2289
* Working trees are no longer created when pushing into a local no-trees
2290
repo. (Daniel Watkins, #50582)
2291
2292
* Upgrade util/configobj to version 4.4.0.
2293
(Vincent Ladeuil, #151208).
2294
2295
* Wrap medusa ftp test server as an FTPServer feature.
2296
(Vincent Ladeuil, #157752)

2298
API BREAKS:
2299
2300
* ``osutils.backup_file`` is deprecated. Actually it's not used in bzrlib
2301
during very long time. (Alexander Belchenko)
2302
2303
* The return value of
2304
``VersionedFile.iter_lines_added_or_present_in_versions`` has been
2305
changed. Previously it was an iterator of lines, now it is an iterator of
2306
(line, version_id) tuples. This change has been made to aid reconcile and
2307
fetch operations. (Robert Collins)
2308
2309
* ``bzrlib.repository.get_versioned_file_checker`` is now private.
2310
(Robert Collins)
2311
2312
* The Repository format registry default has been removed; it was previously
2313
obsoleted by the bzrdir format default, which implies a default repository
2314
format.
2315
(Martin Pool)
2316
2317
INTERNALS:
2318
2319
* Added ``ContainerSerialiser`` and ``ContainerPushParser`` to

2321
and parsing containers from streams rather than from files. (Andrew
2322
Bennetts)
2323

* New module ``lru_cache`` providing a cache for use by tasks that need
2325
semi-random access to large amounts of data. (John A Meinel)

* ``bzr`` now returns exit code 4 if an internal error occurred, and
2348
3 if a normal error occurred. (Martin Pool)
2349
2350
* ``pull``, ``merge`` and ``push`` will no longer silently correct some
2351
repository index errors that occured as a result of the Weave disk format.
2352
Instead the ``reconcile`` command needs to be run to correct those
2353
problems if they exist (and it has been able to fix most such problems
2354
since bzr 0.8). Some new problems have been identified during this release
2355
and you should run ``bzr check`` once on every repository to see if you
2356
need to reconcile. If you cannot ``pull`` or ``merge`` from a remote
2357
repository due to mismatched parent errors - a symptom of index errors -
2358
you should simply take a full copy of that remote repository to a clean
2359
directory outside any local repositories, then run reconcile on it, and
2360
finally pull from it locally. (And naturally email the repositories owner
2361
to ask them to upgrade and run reconcile).
2362
(Robert Collins)
2363
2364
FEATURES:
2365
2366
* New ``knitpack-experimental`` repository format. This is interoperable with
2367
the ``dirstate-tags`` format but uses a smarter storage design that greatly
2368
speeds up many operations, both local and remote. This new format can be
2369
used as an option to the ``init``, ``init-repository`` and ``upgrade``
2370
commands. See http://doc.bazaar-vcs.org/0.92/developers/knitpack.html
2371
for further details. (Robert Collins)
2372
2373
* For users of bzr-svn (and those testing the prototype subtree support) that
2374
wish to try packs, a new ``knitpack-subtree-experimental`` format has also
2375
been added. This is interoperable with the ``dirstate-subtrees`` format.
2376
(Robert Collins)
2377
2378
* New ``reconfigure`` command. (Aaron Bentley)
2379
2380
* New ``revert --forget-merges`` command, which removes the record of a pending
2381
merge without affecting the working tree contents. (Martin Pool)
2382
2383
* New ``bzr_remote_path`` configuration variable allows finer control of
2384
remote bzr locations than BZR_REMOTE_PATH environment variable.
2385
(Aaron Bentley)
2386
2387
* New ``launchpad-login`` command to tell Bazaar your Launchpad
2388
user ID. This can then be used by other functions of the
2389
Launchpad plugin. (James Henstridge)
2390
2391
PERFORMANCE:
2392
2393
* Commit in quiet mode is now slightly faster as the information to
2394
output is no longer calculated. (Ian Clatworthy)
2395
2396
* Commit no longer checks for new text keys during insertion when the
2397
revision id was deterministically unique. (Robert Collins)
2398
2399
* Committing a change which is not a merge and does not change the number of
2400
files in the tree is faster by utilising the data about whether files are
2401
changed to determine if the tree is unchanged rather than recalculating
2402
it at the end of the commit process. (Robert Collins)
2403
2404
* Inventory serialisation no longer double-sha's the content.
2405
(Robert Collins)
2406
2407
* Knit text reconstruction now avoids making copies of the lines list for
2408
interim texts when building a single text. The new ``apply_delta`` method
2409
on ``KnitContent`` aids this by allowing modification of the revision id
2410
such objects represent. (Robert Collins)
2411
2412
* Pack indices are now partially parsed for specific key lookup using a
2413
bisection approach. (Robert Collins)
2414
2415
* Partial commits are now approximately 40% faster by walking over the
2416
unselected current tree more efficiently. (Robert Collins)
2417
2418
* XML inventory serialisation takes 20% less time while being stricter about
2419
the contents. (Robert Collins)
2420
2421
* Graph ``heads()`` queries have been fixed to no longer access all history
2422
unnecessarily. (Robert Collins)
2423
2424
IMPROVEMENTS:
2425
2426
* ``bzr+https://`` smart server across https now supported.
2427
(John Ferlito, Martin Pool, #128456)
2428
2429
* Mutt is now a supported mail client; set ``mail_client=mutt`` in your
2430
bazaar.conf and ``send`` will use mutt. (Keir Mierle)
2431
2432
* New option ``-c``/``--change`` for ``merge`` command for cherrypicking
2433
changes from one revision. (Alexander Belchenko, #141368)
2434
2435
* Show encodings, locale and list of plugins in the traceback message.
2436
(Martin Pool, #63894)
2437
2438
* Experimental directory formats can now be marked with
2439
``experimental = True`` during registration. (Ian Clatworthy)
2440
2441
DOCUMENTATION:
2442
2443
* New *Bazaar in Five Minutes* guide. (Matthew Revell)
2444
2445
* The hooks reference documentation is now converted to html as expected.
2446
(Ian Clatworthy)
2447
2448
BUG FIXES:
2449
2450
* Connection error reporting for the smart server has been fixed to
2451
display a user friendly message instead of a traceback.
2452
(Ian Clatworthy, #115601)
2453
2454
* Make sure to use ``O_BINARY`` when opening files to check their
2455
sha1sum. (Alexander Belchenko, John Arbash Meinel, #153493)
2456
2457
* Fix a problem with Win32 handling of the executable bit.
2458
(John Arbash Meinel, #149113)
2459
2460
* ``bzr+ssh://`` and ``sftp://`` URLs that do not specify ports explicitly
2461
no longer assume that means port 22. This allows people using OpenSSH to
2462
override the default port in their ``~/.ssh/config`` if they wish. This
2463
fixes a bug introduced in bzr 0.91. (Andrew Bennetts, #146715)
2464
2465
* Commands reporting exceptions can now be profiled and still have their
2466
data correctly dumped to a file. For example, a ``bzr commit`` with
2467
no changes still reports the operation as pointless but doing so no
2468
longer throws away the profiling data if this command is run with
2469
``--lsprof-file callgrind.out.ci`` say. (Ian Clatworthy)
2470
2471
* Fallback to ftp when paramiko is not installed and sftp can't be used for
2472
``tests/commands`` so that the test suite is still usable without
2473
paramiko.
2474
(Vincent Ladeuil, #59150)
2475
2476
* Fix commit ordering in corner case. (Aaron Bentley, #94975)
2477
2478
* Fix long standing bug in partial commit when there are renames
2479
left in tree. (Robert Collins, #140419)
2480
2481
* Fix selftest semi-random noise during http related tests.
2482
(Vincent Ladeuil, #140614)
2483
2484
* Fix typo in ftp.py making the reconnection fail on temporary errors.
2485
(Vincent Ladeuil, #154259)
2486
2487
* Fix failing test by comparing real paths to cover the case where the TMPDIR
2488
contains a symbolic link.
2489
(Vincent Ladeuil, #141382).
2490
2491
* Fix log against smart server branches that don't support tags.
2492
(James Westby, #140615)
2493
2494
* Fix pycurl http implementation by defining error codes from
2495
pycurl instead of relying on an old curl definition.
2496
(Vincent Ladeuil, #147530)
2497
2498
* Fix 'unprintable error' message when displaying BzrCheckError and
2499
some other exceptions on Python 2.5.
2500
(Martin Pool, #144633)
2501
2502
* Fix ``Inventory.copy()`` and add test for it. (Jelmer Vernooij)
2503
2504
* Handles default value for ListOption in cmd_commit.
2505
(Vincent Ladeuil, #140432)
2506
2507
* HttpServer and FtpServer need to be closed properly or a listening socket
2508
will remain opened.
2509
(Vincent Ladeuil, #140055)
2510
2511
* Monitor the .bzr directory created in the top level test
2512
directory to detect leaking tests.
2513
(Vincent Ladeuil, #147986)
2514
2515
* The basename, not the full path, is now used when checking whether
2516
the profiling dump file begins with ``callgrind.out`` or not. This
2517
fixes a bug reported by Aaron Bentley on IRC. (Ian Clatworthy)
2518
2519
* Trivial fix for invoking command ``reconfigure`` without arguments.
2520
(Rob Weir, #141629)
2521
2522
* ``WorkingTree.rename_one`` will now raise an error if normalisation of the
2523
new path causes bzr to be unable to access the file. (Robert Collins)
2524
2525
* Correctly detect a NoSuchFile when using a filezilla server. (Gary van der
2526
Merwe)
2527
2528
API BREAKS:
2529
2530
* ``bzrlib.index.GraphIndex`` now requires a size parameter to the
2531
constructor, for enabling bisection searches. (Robert Collins)
2532
2533
* ``CommitBuilder.record_entry_contents`` now requires the root entry of a
2534
tree be supplied to it, previously failing to do so would trigger a
2535
deprecation warning. (Robert Collins)
2536
2537
* ``KnitVersionedFile.add*`` will no longer cache added records even when
2538
enable_cache() has been called - the caching feature is now exclusively for
2539
reading existing data. (Robert Collins)
2540
2541
* ``ReadOnlyLockError`` is deprecated; ``LockFailed`` is usually more
2542
appropriate. (Martin Pool)
2543
2544
* Removed ``bzrlib.transport.TransportLogger`` - please see the new
2545
``trace+`` transport instead. (Robert Collins)
2546
2547
* Removed previously deprecated varargs interface to ``TestCase.run_bzr`` and
2548
deprecated methods ``TestCase.capture`` and ``TestCase.run_bzr_captured``.
2549
(Martin Pool)
2550
2551
* Removed previous deprecated ``basis_knit`` parameter to the
2552
``KnitVersionedFile`` constructor. (Robert Collins)
2553
2554
* Special purpose method ``TestCase.run_bzr_decode`` is moved to the test_non_ascii
2555
class that needs it.
2556
(Martin Pool)
2557
2558
* The class ``bzrlib.repofmt.knitrepo.KnitRepository3`` has been folded into
2559
``KnitRepository`` by parameters to the constructor. (Robert Collins)
2560
2561
* The ``VersionedFile`` interface now allows content checks to be bypassed
2562
by supplying check_content=False. This saves nearly 30% of the minimum
2563
cost to store a version of a file. (Robert Collins)
2564
2565
* Tree's with bad state such as files with no length or sha will no longer
2566
be silently accepted by the repository XML serialiser. To serialise
2567
inventories without such data, pass working=True to write_inventory.
2568
(Robert Collins)
2569
2570
* ``VersionedFile.fix_parents`` has been removed as a harmful API.
2571
``VersionedFile.join`` will no longer accept different parents on either
2572
side of a join - it will either ignore them, or error, depending on the
2573
implementation. See notes when upgrading for more information.
2574
(Robert Collins)
2575
2576
INTERNALS:
2577
2578
* ``bzrlib.transport.Transport.put_file`` now returns the number of bytes
2579
put by the method call, to allow avoiding stat-after-write or
2580
housekeeping in callers. (Robert Collins)
2581
2582
* ``bzrlib.xml_serializer.Serializer`` is now responsible for checking that
2583
mandatory attributes are present on serialisation and deserialisation.
2584
This fixes some holes in API usage and allows better separation between
2585
physical storage and object serialisation. (Robert Collins)
2586
2587
* New class ``bzrlib.errors.InternalBzrError`` which is just a convenient
2588
shorthand for deriving from BzrError and setting internal_error = True.
2589
(Robert Collins)
2590
2591
* New method ``bzrlib.mutabletree.update_to_one_parent_via_delta`` for
2592
moving the state of a parent tree to a new version via a delta rather than
2593
a complete replacement tree. (Robert Collins)
2594
2595
* New method ``bzrlib.osutils.minimum_path_selection`` useful for removing
2596
duplication from user input, when a user mentions both a path and an item
2597
contained within that path. (Robert Collins)
2598
2599
* New method ``bzrlib.repository.Repository.is_write_locked`` useful for
2600
determining if a repository is write locked. (Robert Collins)
2601
2602
* New method on ``bzrlib.tree.Tree`` ``path_content_summary`` provides a
2603
tuple containing the key information about a path for commit processing
2604
to complete. (Robert Collins)
2605
2606
* New method on xml serialisers, write_inventory_to_lines, which matches the
2607
API used by knits for adding content. (Robert Collins)
2608
2609
* New module ``bzrlib.bisect_multi`` with generic multiple-bisection-at-once
2610
logic, currently only available for byte-based lookup
2611
(``bisect_multi_bytes``). (Robert Collins)
2612
2613
* New helper ``bzrlib.tuned_gzip.bytes_to_gzip`` which takes a byte string
2614
and returns a gzipped version of the same. This is used to avoid a bunch
2615
of api friction during adding of knit hunks. (Robert Collins)
2616
2617
* New parameter on ``bzrlib.transport.Transport.readv``
2618
``adjust_for_latency`` which changes readv from returning strictly the
2619
requested data to inserted return larger ranges and in forward read order
2620
to reduce the effect of network latency. (Robert Collins)
2621
2622
* New parameter yield_parents on ``Inventory.iter_entries_by_dir`` which
2623
causes the parents of a selected id to be returned recursively, so all the
2624
paths from the root down to each element of selected_file_ids are
2625
returned. (Robert Collins)
2626
2627
* Knit joining has been enhanced to support plain to annotated conversion
2628
and annotated to plain conversion. (Ian Clatworthy)
2629
2630
* The CommitBuilder method ``record_entry_contents`` now returns summary
2631
information about the effect of the commit on the repository. This tuple
2632
contains an inventory delta item if the entry changed from the basis, and a
2633
boolean indicating whether a new file graph node was recorded.
2634
(Robert Collins)
2635
2636
* The python path used in the Makefile can now be overridden.
2637
(Andrew Bennetts, Ian Clatworthy)
2638
2639
TESTING:
2640
2641
* New transport implementation ``trace+`` which is useful for testing,
2642
logging activity taken to its _activity attribute. (Robert Collins)
2643
2644
* When running bzr commands within the test suite, internal exceptions are
2645
not caught and reported in the usual way, but rather allowed to propagate
2646
up and be visible to the test suite. A new API ``run_bzr_catch_user_errors``
2647
makes this behavior available to other users.
2648
(Martin Pool)
2649
2650
* New method ``TestCase.call_catch_warnings`` for testing methods that
2651
raises a Python warning. (Martin Pool)
2652
2653
2654
bzr 0.91 2007-09-26
2655
-------------------
2656
2657
BUG FIXES:
2658
2659
* Print a warning instead of aborting the ``python setup.py install``
2660
process if building of a C extension is not possible.
2661
(Lukáš Lalinský, Alexander Belchenko)
2662
2663
* Fix commit ordering in corner case (Aaron Bentley, #94975)
2664
2665
* Fix ''bzr info bzr://host/'' and other operations on ''bzr://' URLs with
2666
an implicit port. We were incorrectly raising PathNotChild due to
2667
inconsistent treatment of the ''_port'' attribute on the Transport object.
2668
(Andrew Bennetts, #133965)
2669
2670
* Make RemoteRepository.sprout cope gracefully with servers that don't
2671
support the ``Repository.tarball`` request.
2672
(Andrew Bennetts)
2673
2674
2675
bzr 0.91rc2 2007-09-11
2676
----------------------
2677
2678
* Replaced incorrect tarball for previous release; a debug statement was left
2679
in bzrlib/remote.py.
2680
2681
2682
bzr 0.91rc1 2007-09-11
2683
----------------------
2684
2685
CHANGES:
2686
2687
* The default branch and repository format has changed to
2688
``dirstate-tags``, so tag commands are active by default.
2689
This format is compatible with Bazaar 0.15 and later.
2690
This incidentally fixes bug #126141.
2691
(Martin Pool)
2692
2693
* ``--quiet`` or ``-q`` is no longer a global option. If present, it
2694
must now appear after the command name. Scripts doing things like
2695
``bzr -q missing`` need to be rewritten as ``bzr missing -q``.
2696
(Ian Clatworthy)
2697
2698
FEATURES:
2699
2700
* New option ``--author`` in ``bzr commit`` to specify the author of the
2701
change, if it's different from the committer. ``bzr log`` and
2702
``bzr annotate`` display the author instead of the committer.
2703
(Lukáš Lalinský)
2704
2705
* In addition to global options and command specific options, a set of
2706
standard options are now supported. Standard options are legal for
2707
all commands. The initial set of standard options are:
2708
2709
* ``--help`` or ``-h`` - display help message
2710
* ``--verbose`` or ``-v`` - display additional information
2711
* ``--quiet`` or ``-q`` - only output warnings and errors.
2712
2713
Unlike global options, standard options can be used in aliases and
2714
may have command-specific help. (Ian Clatworthy)
2715
2716
* Verbosity level processing has now been unified. If ``--verbose``
2717
or ``-v`` is specified on the command line multiple times, the
2718
verbosity level is made positive the first time then increased.
2719
If ``--quiet`` or ``-q`` is specified on the command line
2720
multiple times, the verbosity level is made negative the first
2721
time then decreased. To get the default verbosity level of zero,
2722
either specify none of the above , ``--no-verbose`` or ``--no-quiet``.
2723
Note that most commands currently ignore the magnitude of the
2724
verbosity level but do respect *quiet vs normal vs verbose* when
2725
generating output. (Ian Clatworthy)
2726
2727
* ``Branch.hooks`` now supports ``pre_commit`` hook. The hook's signature
2728
is documented in BranchHooks constructor. (Nam T. Nguyen, #102747)
2729
2730
* New ``Repository.stream_knit_data_for_revisions`` request added to the
2731
network protocol for greatly reduced roundtrips when retrieving a set of
2732
revisions. (Andrew Bennetts)
2733
2734
BUG FIXES:
2735
2736
* ``bzr plugins`` now lists the version number for each plugin in square
2737
brackets after the path. (Robert Collins, #125421)
2738
2739
* Pushing, pulling and branching branches with subtree references was not
2740
copying the subtree weave, preventing the file graph from being accessed
2741
and causing errors in commits in clones. (Robert Collins)
2742
2743
* Suppress warning "integer argument expected, got float" from Paramiko,
2744
which sometimes caused false test failures. (Martin Pool)
2745
2746
* Fix bug in bundle 4 that could cause attempts to write data to wrong
2747
versionedfile. (Aaron Bentley)
2748
2749
* Diffs generated using "diff -p" no longer break the patch parser.
2750
(Aaron Bentley)
2751
2752
* get_transport treats an empty possible_transports list the same as a non-
2753
empty one. (Aaron Bentley)
2754
2755
* patch verification for merge directives is reactivated, and works with
2756
CRLF and CR files. (Aaron Bentley)
2757
2758
* Accept ..\ as a path in revision specifiers. This fixes for example
2759
"-r branch:..\other-branch" on Windows. (Lukáš Lalinský)
2760
2761
* ``BZR_PLUGIN_PATH`` may now contain trailing slashes.
2762
(Blake Winton, #129299)
2763
2764
* man page no longer lists hidden options (#131667, Aaron Bentley)
2765
2766
* ``uncommit --help`` now explains the -r option adequately. (Daniel
2767
Watkins, #106726)
2768
2769
* Error messages are now better formatted with parameters (such as
2770
filenames) quoted when necessary. This avoids confusion when directory
2771
names ending in a '.' at the end of messages were confused with a
2772
full stop that may or not have been there. (Daniel Watkins, #129791)
2773
2774
* Fix ``status FILE -r X..Y``. (Lukáš Lalinský)
2775
2776
* If a particular command is an alias, ``help`` will show the alias
2777
instead of claiming there is no help for said alias. (Daniel Watkins,
2778
#133548)
2779
2780
* TreeTransform-based operations, like pull, merge, revert, and branch,
2781
now roll back if they encounter an error. (Aaron Bentley, #67699)
2782
2783
* ``bzr commit`` now exits cleanly if a character unsupported by the
2784
current encoding is used in the commit message. (Daniel Watkins,
2785
#116143)
2786
2787
* bzr send uses default values for ranges when only half of an elipsis
2788
is specified ("-r..5" or "-r5.."). (#61685, Aaron Bentley)
2789
2790
* Avoid trouble when Windows ssh calls itself 'plink' but no plink
2791
binary is present. (Martin Albisetti, #107155)
2792
2793
* ``bzr remove`` should remove clean subtrees. Now it will remove (without
2794
needing ``--force``) subtrees that contain no files with text changes or
2795
modified files. With ``--force`` it removes the subtree regardless of
2796
text changes or unknown files. Directories with renames in or out (but
2797
not changed otherwise) will now be removed without needing ``--force``.
2798
Unknown ignored files will be deleted without needing ``--force``.
2799
(Marius Kruger, #111665)
2800
2801
* When two plugins conflict, the source of both the losing and now the
2802
winning definition is shown. (Konstantin Mikhaylov, #5454)
2803
2804
* When committing to a branch, the location being committed to is
2805
displayed. (Daniel Watkins, #52479)
2806
2807
* ``bzr --version`` takes care about encoding of stdout, especially
2808
when output is redirected. (Alexander Belchenko, #131100)
2809
2810
* Prompt for an ftp password if none is provided.
2811
(Vincent Ladeuil, #137044)
2812
2813
* Reuse bound branch associated transport to avoid multiple
2814
connections.
2815
(Vincent Ladeuil, #128076, #131396)
2816
2817
* Overwrite conflicting tags by ``push`` and ``pull`` if the
2818
``--overwrite`` option is specified. (Lukáš Lalinský, #93947)
2819
2820
* In checkouts, tags are copied into the master branch when created,
2821
changed or deleted, and are copied into the checkout when it is
2822
updated. (Martin Pool, #93856, #93860)
2823
2824
* Print a warning instead of aborting the ``python setup.py install``
2825
process if building of a C extension is not possible.
2826
(Lukáš Lalinský, Alexander Belchenko)
2827
2828
IMPROVEMENTS:
2829
2830
* Add the option "--show-diff" to the commit command in order to display
2831
the diff during the commit log creation. (Goffredo Baroncelli)
2832
2833
* ``pull`` and ``merge`` are much faster at installing bundle format 4.
2834
(Aaron Bentley)
2835
2836
* ``pull -v`` no longer includes deltas, making it much faster.
2837
(Aaron Bentley)
2838
2839
* ``send`` now sends the directive as an attachment by default.
2840
(Aaron Bentley, Lukáš Lalinský, Alexander Belchenko)
2841
2842
* Documentation updates (Martin Albisetti)
2843
2844
* Help on debug flags is now included in ``help global-options``.
2845
(Daniel Watkins, #124853)
2846
2847
* Parameters passed on the command line are checked to ensure they are
2848
supported by the encoding in use. (Daniel Watkins)
2849
2850
* The compression used within the bzr repository has changed from zlib
2851
level 9 to the zlib default level. This improves commit performance with
2852
only a small increase in space used (and in some cases a reduction in
2853
space). (Robert Collins)
2854
2855
* Initial commit no longer SHAs files twice and now reuses the path
2856
rather than looking it up again, making it faster.
2857
(Ian Clatworthy)
2858
2859
* New option ``-c``/``--change`` for ``diff`` and ``status`` to show
2860
changes in one revision. (Lukáš Lalinský)
2861
2862
* If versioned files match a given ignore pattern, a warning is now
2863
given. (Daniel Watkins, #48623)
2864
2865
* ``bzr status`` now has -S as a short name for --short and -V as a
2866
short name for --versioned. These have been added to assist users
2867
migrating from Subversion: ``bzr status -SV`` is now like
2868
``svn status -q``. (Daniel Watkins, #115990)
2869
2870
* Added C implementation of ``PatienceSequenceMatcher``, which is about
2871
10x faster than the Python version. This speeds up commands that
2872
need file diffing, such as ``bzr commit`` or ``bzr diff``.
2873
(Lukáš Lalinský)
2874
2875
* HACKING has been extended with a large section on core developer tasks.
2876
(Ian Clatworthy)
2877
2878
* Add ``branches`` and ``standalone-trees`` as online help topics and
2879
include them as Concepts within the User Reference.
2880
(Paul Moore, Ian Clatworthy)
2881
2882
* ``check`` can detect versionedfile parent references that are
2883
inconsistent with revision and inventory info, and ``reconcile`` can fix
2884
them. These faulty references were generated by 0.8-era releases,
2885
so repositories which were manipulated by old bzrs should be
2886
checked, and possibly reconciled ASAP. (Aaron Bentley, Andrew Bennetts)
2887
2888
API BREAKS:
2889
2890
* ``Branch.append_revision`` is removed altogether; please use
2891
``Branch.set_last_revision_info`` instead. (Martin Pool)
2892
2893
* CommitBuilder now advertises itself as requiring the root entry to be
2894
supplied. This only affects foreign repository implementations which reuse
2895
CommitBuilder directly and have changed record_entry_contents to require
2896
that the root not be supplied. This should be precisely zero plugins
2897
affected. (Robert Collins)
2898
2899
* The ``add_lines`` methods on ``VersionedFile`` implementations has changed
2900
its return value to include the sha1 and length of the inserted text. This
2901
allows the avoidance of double-sha1 calculations during commit.
2902
(Robert Collins)
2903
2904
* ``Transport.should_cache`` has been removed. It was not called in the
2905
previous release. (Martin Pool)
2906
2907
TESTING:
2908
2909
* Tests may now raise TestNotApplicable to indicate they shouldn't be
2910
run in a particular scenario. (Martin Pool)
2911
2912
* New function multiply_tests_from_modules to give a simpler interface
2913
to test parameterization. (Martin Pool, Robert Collins)
2914
2915
* ``Transport.should_cache`` has been removed. It was not called in the
2916
previous release. (Martin Pool)
2917
2918
* NULL_REVISION is returned to indicate the null revision, not None.
2919
(Aaron Bentley)
2920
2921
* Use UTF-8 encoded StringIO for log tests to avoid failures on
2922
non-ASCII committer names. (Lukáš Lalinský)
2923
2924
INTERNALS:
2925
2926
* ``bzrlib.plugin.all_plugins`` has been deprecated in favour of
2927
``bzrlib.plugin.plugins()`` which returns PlugIn objects that provide
2928
useful functionality for determining the path of a plugin, its tests, and
2929
its version information. (Robert Collins)
2930
2931
* Add the option user_encoding to the function 'show_diff_trees()'
2932
in order to move the user encoding at the UI level. (Goffredo Baroncelli)
2933
2934
* Add the function make_commit_message_template_encoded() and the function
2935
edit_commit_message_encoded() which handle encoded strings.
2936
This is done in order to mix the commit messages (which is a unicode
2937
string), and the diff which is a raw string. (Goffredo Baroncelli)
2938
2939
* CommitBuilder now defaults to using add_lines_with_ghosts, reducing
2940
overhead on non-weave repositories which don't require all parents to be
2941
present. (Robert Collins)
2942
2943
* Deprecated method ``find_previous_heads`` on
2944
``bzrlib.inventory.InventoryEntry``. This has been superseded by the use
2945
of ``parent_candidates`` and a separate heads check via the repository
2946
API. (Robert Collins)
2947
2948
* New trace function ``mutter_callsite`` will print out a subset of the
2949
stack to the log, which can be useful for gathering debug details.
2950
(Robert Collins)
2951
2952
* ``bzrlib.pack.ContainerWriter`` now tracks how many records have been
2953
added via a public attribute records_written. (Robert Collins)
2954
2955
* New method ``bzrlib.transport.Transport.get_recommended_page_size``.
2956
This provides a hint to users of transports as to the reasonable
2957
minimum data to read. In principle this can take latency and
2958
bandwidth into account on a per-connection basis, but for now it
2959
just has hard coded values based on the url. (e.g. http:// has a large
2960
page size, file:// has a small one.) (Robert Collins)
2961
2962
* New method on ``bzrlib.transport.Transport`` ``open_write_stream`` allows
2963
incremental addition of data to a file without requiring that all the
2964
data be buffered in memory. (Robert Collins)
2965
2966
* New methods on ``bzrlib.knit.KnitVersionedFile``:
2967
``get_data_stream(versions)``, ``insert_data_stream(stream)`` and
2968
``get_format_signature()``. These provide some infrastructure for
2969
efficiently streaming the knit data for a set of versions over the smart
2970
protocol.
2971
2972
* Knits with no annotation cache still produce correct annotations.
2973
(Aaron Bentley)
2974
2975
* Three new methods have been added to ``bzrlib.trace``:
2976
``set_verbosity_level``, ``get_verbosity_level`` and ``is_verbose``.
2977
``set_verbosity_level`` expects a numeric value: negative for quiet,
2978
zero for normal, positive for verbose. The size of the number can be
2979
used to determine just how quiet or verbose the application should be.
2980
The existing ``be_quiet`` and ``is_quiet`` routines have been
2981
integrated into this new scheme. (Ian Clatworthy)
2982
2983
* Options can now be delcared with a ``custom_callback`` parameter. If
2984
set, this routine is called after the option is processed. This feature
2985
is now used by the standard options ``verbose`` and ``quiet`` so that
2986
setting one implicitly resets the other. (Ian Clatworthy)
2987
2988
* Rather than declaring a new option from scratch in order to provide
2989
custom help, a centrally registered option can be decorated using the
2990
new ``bzrlib.Option.custom_help`` routine. In particular, this routine
2991
is useful when declaring better help for the ``verbose`` and ``quiet``
2992
standard options as the base definition of these is now more complex
2993
than before thanks to their use of a custom callback. (Ian Clatworthy)
2994
2995
* Tree._iter_changes(specific_file=[]) now iterates through no files,
2996
instead of iterating through all files. None is used to iterate through
2997
all files. (Aaron Bentley)
2998
2999
* WorkingTree.revert() now accepts None to revert all files. The use of
3000
[] to revert all files is deprecated. (Aaron Bentley)
3001
3002
3003
bzr 0.90 2007-08-28
3004
-------------------
3005
3006
IMPROVEMENTS:
3007
3008
* Documentation is now organized into multiple directories with a level
3009
added for different languages or locales. Added the Mini Tutorial
3010
and Quick Start Summary (en) documents from the Wiki, improving the
3011
content and readability of the former. Formatted NEWS as Release Notes
3012
complete with a Table of Conents, one heading per release. Moved the
3013
Developer Guide into the main document catalog and provided a link
3014
from the developer document catalog back to the main one.
3015
(Ian Clatworthy, Sabin Iacob, Alexander Belchenko)
3016
3017
3018
API CHANGES:
3019
3020
* The static convenience method ``BzrDir.create_repository``
3021
is deprecated. Callers should instead create a ``BzrDir`` instance
3022
and call ``create_repository`` on that. (Martin Pool)
3023
3024
3025
bzr 0.90rc1 2007-08-14
3026
----------------------
3027
3028
BUGFIXES:
3029
3030
* ``bzr init`` should connect to the remote location one time only. We
3031
have been connecting several times because we forget to pass around the
3032
Transport object. This modifies ``BzrDir.create_branch_convenience``,
3033
so that we can give it the Transport we already have.
3034
(John Arbash Meinel, Vincent Ladeuil, #111702)
3035
3036
* Get rid of sftp connection cache (get rid of the FTP one too).
3037
(Vincent Ladeuil, #43731)
3038
3039
* bzr branch {local|remote} remote don't try to create a working tree
3040
anymore.
3041
(Vincent Ladeuil, #112173)
3042
3043
* All identified multiple connections for a single bzr command have been
3044
fixed. See bzrlib/tests/commands directory.
3045
(Vincent Ladeuil)
3046
3047
* ``bzr rm`` now does not insist on ``--force`` to delete files that
3048
have been renamed but not otherwise modified. (Marius Kruger,
3049
#111664)
3050
3051
* ``bzr selftest --bench`` no longer emits deprecation warnings
3052
(Lukáš Lalinský)
3053
3054
* ``bzr status`` now honours FILE parameters for conflict lists
3055
(Aaron Bentley, #127606)
3056
3057
* ``bzr checkout`` now honours -r when reconstituting a working tree.
3058
It also honours -r 0. (Aaron Bentley, #127708)
3059
3060
* ``bzr add *`` no more fails on Windows if working tree contains
3061
non-ascii file names. (Kuno Meyer, #127361)
3062
3063
* allow ``easy_install bzr`` runs without fatal errors.
3064
(Alexander Belchenko, #125521)
3065
3066
* Graph._filter_candidate_lca does not raise KeyError if a candidate
3067
is eliminated just before it would normally be examined. (Aaron Bentley)
3068
3069
* SMTP connection failures produce a nice message, not a traceback.
3070
(Aaron Bentley)
3071
3072
IMPROVEMENTS:
3073
3074
* Don't show "dots" progress indicators when run non-interactively, such
3075
as from cron. (Martin Pool)
3076
3077
* ``info`` now formats locations more nicely and lists "submit" and
3078
"public" branches (Aaron Bentley)
3079
3080
* New ``pack`` command that will trigger database compression within
3081
the repository (Robert Collins)
3082
3083
* Implement ``_KnitIndex._load_data`` in a pyrex extension. The pyrex
3084
version is approximately 2-3x faster at parsing a ``.kndx`` file.
3085
Which yields a measurable improvement for commands which have to
3086
read from the repository, such as a 1s => 0.75s improvement in
3087
``bzr diff`` when there are changes to be shown. (John Arbash Meinel)
3088
3089
* Merge is now faster. Depending on the scenario, it can be more than 2x
3090
faster. (Aaron Bentley)
3091
3092
* Give a clearer warning, and allow ``python setup.py install`` to
3093
succeed even if pyrex is not available.
3094
(John Arbash Meinel)
3095
3096
* ``DirState._read_dirblocks`` now has an optional Pyrex
3097
implementation. This improves the speed of any command that has to
3098
read the entire DirState. (``diff``, ``status``, etc, improve by
3099
about 10%).
3100
``bisect_dirblocks`` has also been improved, which helps all
3101
``_get_entry`` type calls (whenever we are searching for a
3102
particular entry in the in-memory DirState).
3103
(John Arbash Meinel)
3104
3105
* ``bzr pull`` and ``bzr push`` no longer do a complete walk of the
3106
branch revision history for ui display unless -v is supplied.
3107
(Robert Collins)
3108
3109
* ``bzr log -rA..B`` output shifted to the left margin if the log only
3110
contains merge revisions. (Kent Gibson)
3111
3112
* The ``plugins`` command is now public with improved help.
3113
(Ian Clatworthy)
3114
3115
* New bundle and merge directive formats are faster to generate, and
3116
3117
* Annotate merge now works when there are local changes. (Aaron Bentley)
3118
3119
* Commit now only shows the progress in terms of directories instead of
3120
entries. (Ian Clatworthy)
3121
3122
* Fix ``KnitRepository.get_revision_graph`` to not request the graph 2
3123
times. This makes ``get_revision_graph`` 2x faster. (John Arbash
3124
Meinel)
3125
3126
* Fix ``VersionedFile.get_graph()`` to avoid using
3127
``set.difference_update(other)``, which has bad scaling when
3128
``other`` is large. This improves ``VF.get_graph([version_id])`` for
3129
a 12.5k graph from 2.9s down to 200ms. (John Arbash Meinel)
3130
3131
* The ``--lsprof-file`` option now generates output for KCacheGrind if
3132
the file starts with ``callgrind.out``. This matches the default file
3133
filtering done by KCacheGrind's Open Dialog. (Ian Clatworthy)
3134
3135
* Fix ``bzr update`` to avoid an unnecessary
3136
``branch.get_master_branch`` call, which avoids 1 extra connection
3137
to the remote server. (Partial fix for #128076, John Arbash Meinel)
3138
3139
* Log errors from the smart server in the trace file, to make debugging
3140
test failures (and live failures!) easier. (Andrew Bennetts)
3141
3142
* The HTML version of the man page has been superceded by a more
3143
comprehensive manual called the Bazaar User Reference. This manual
3144
is completed generated from the online help topics. As part of this
3145
change, limited reStructuredText is now explicitly supported in help
3146
topics and command help with 'unnatural' markup being removed prior
3147
to display by the online help or inclusion in the man page.
3148
(Ian Clatworthy)
3149
3150
* HTML documentation now use files extension ``*.html``
3151
(Alexander Belchenko)
3152
3153
* The cache of ignore definitions is now cleared in WorkingTree.unlock()
3154
so that changes to .bzrignore aren't missed. (#129694, Daniel Watkins)
3155
3156
* ``bzr selftest --strict`` fails if there are any missing features or
3157
expected test failures. (Daniel Watkins, #111914)
3158
3159
* Link to registration survey added to README. (Ian Clatworthy)
3160
3161
* Windows standalone installer show link to registration survey
3162
when installation finished. (Alexander Belchenko)
3163
3164
LIBRARY API BREAKS:
3165
3166
* Deprecated dictionary ``bzrlib.option.SHORT_OPTIONS`` removed.
3167
Options are now required to provide a help string and it must
3168
comply with the style guide by being one or more sentences with an
3169
initial capital and final period. (Martin Pool)
3170
3171
* KnitIndex.get_parents now returns tuples. (Robert Collins)
3172
3173
* Ancient unused ``Repository.text_store`` attribute has been removed.
3174
(Robert Collins)
3175
3176
* The ``bzrlib.pack`` interface has changed to use tuples of bytestrings
3177
rather than just bytestrings, making it easier to represent multiple
3178
element names. As this interface was not used by any internal facilities
3179
since it was introduced in 0.18 no API compatibility is being preserved.
3180
The serialised form of these packs is identical with 0.18 when a single
3181
element tuple is in use. (Robert Collins)
3182
3183
INTERNALS:
3184
3185
* merge now uses ``iter_changes`` to calculate changes, which makes room for
3186
future performance increases. It is also more consistent with other
3187
operations that perform comparisons, and reduces reliance on
3188
Tree.inventory. (Aaron Bentley)
3189
3190
* Refactoring of transport classes connected to a remote server.
3191
ConnectedTransport is a new class that serves as a basis for all
3192
transports needing to connect to a remote server. transport.split_url
3193
have been deprecated, use the static method on the object instead. URL
3194
tests have been refactored too.
3195
(Vincent Ladeuil)
3196
3197
* Better connection sharing for ConnectedTransport objects.
3198
transport.get_transport() now accepts a 'possible_transports' parameter.
3199
If a newly requested transport can share a connection with one of the
3200
list, it will.
3201
(Vincent Ladeuil)
3202
3203
* Most functions now accept ``bzrlib.revision.NULL_REVISION`` to indicate
3204
the null revision, and consider using ``None`` for this purpose
3205
deprecated. (Aaron Bentley)
3206
3207
* New ``index`` module with abstract index functionality. This will be
3208
used during the planned changes in the repository layer. Currently the
3209
index layer provides a graph aware immutable index, a builder for the
3210
same index type to allow creating them, and finally a composer for
3211
such indices to allow the use of many indices in a single query. The
3212
index performance is not optimised, however the API is stable to allow
3213
development on top of the index. (Robert Collins)
3214
3215
* ``bzrlib.dirstate.cmp_by_dirs`` can be used to compare two paths by
3216
their directory sections. This is equivalent to comparing
3217
``path.split('/')``, only without having to split the paths.
3218
This has a Pyrex implementation available.
3219
(John Arbash Meinel)
3220
3221
* New transport decorator 'unlistable+' which disables the list_dir
3222
functionality for testing.
3223
3224
* Deprecated ``change_entry`` in transform.py. (Ian Clatworthy)
3225
3226
* RevisionTree.get_weave is now deprecated. Tree.plan_merge is now used
3227
for performing annotate-merge. (Aaron Bentley)
3228
3229
* New EmailMessage class to create email messages. (Adeodato Simó)
3230
3231
* Unused functions on the private interface KnitIndex have been removed.
3232
(Robert Collins)
3233
3234
* New ``knit.KnitGraphIndex`` which provides a ``KnitIndex`` layered on top
3235
of a ``index.GraphIndex``. (Robert Collins)
3236
3237
* New ``knit.KnitVersionedFile.iter_parents`` method that allows querying
3238
the parents of many knit nodes at once, reducing round trips to the
3239
underlying index. (Robert Collins)
3240
3241
* Graph now has an is_ancestor method, various bits use it.
3242
(Aaron Bentley)
3243
3244
* The ``-Dhpss`` flag now includes timing information. As well as
3245
logging when a new connection is opened. (John Arbash Meinel)
3246
3247
* ``bzrlib.pack.ContainerWriter`` now returns an offset, length tuple to
3248
callers when inserting data, allowing generation of readv style access
3249
during pack creation, without needing a separate pass across the output
3250
pack to gather such details. (Robert Collins)
3251
3252
* ``bzrlib.pack.make_readv_reader`` allows readv based access to pack
3253
files that are stored on a transport. (Robert Collins)
3254
3255
* New ``Repository.has_same_location`` method that reports if two
3256
repository objects refer to the same repository (although with some risk
3257
of false negatives). (Andrew Bennetts)
3258
3259
* InterTree.compare now passes require_versioned on correctly.
3260
(Marius Kruger)
3261
3262
* New methods on Repository - ``start_write_group``,
3263
``commit_write_group``, ``abort_write_group`` and ``is_in_write_group`` -
3264
which provide a clean hook point for transactional Repositories - ones
3265
where all the data for a fetch or commit needs to be made atomically
3266
available in one step. This allows the write lock to remain while making
3267
a series of data insertions. (e.g. data conversion). (Robert Collins)
3268
3269
* In ``bzrlib.knit`` the internal interface has been altered to use
3270
3-tuples (index, pos, length) rather than two-tuples (pos, length) to
3271
describe where data in a knit is, allowing knits to be split into
3272
many files. (Robert Collins)
3273
3274
* ``bzrlib.knit._KnitData`` split into cache management and physical access
3275
with two access classes - ``_PackAccess`` and ``_KnitAccess`` defined.
3276
The former provides access into a .pack file, and the latter provides the
3277
current production repository form of .knit files. (Robert Collins)
3278
3279
TESTING:
3280
3281
* Remove selftest ``--clean-output``, ``--numbered-dirs`` and
3282
``--keep-output`` options, which are obsolete now that tests
3283
are done within directories in $TMPDIR. (Martin Pool)
3284
3285
* The SSH_AUTH_SOCK environment variable is now reset to avoid
3286
interaction with any running ssh agents. (Jelmer Vernooij, #125955)
3287
3288
* run_bzr_subprocess handles parameters the same way as run_bzr:
3289
either a string or a list of strings should be passed as the first
3290
parameter. Varargs-style parameters are deprecated. (Aaron Bentley)

BUGFIXES:
3305
3306
* Do not suppress pipe errors, etc. in non-display commands
3307
(Alexander Belchenko, #87178)
3308
3309
* Display a useful error message when the user requests to annotate
3310
a file that is not present in the specified revision.
3311
(James Westby, #122656)
3312
3313
* Commands that use status flags now have a reference to 'help
3314
status-flags'. (Daniel Watkins, #113436)
3315
3316
* Work around python-2.4.1 inhability to correctly parse the
3317
authentication header.
3318
(Vincent Ladeuil, #121889)
3319
3320
* Use exact encoding for merge directives. (Adeodato Simó, #120591)
3321
3322
* Fix tempfile permissions error in smart server tar bundling under
3323
Windows. (Martin _, #119330)
3324
3325
* Fix detection of directory entries in the inventory. (James Westby)
3326
3327
* Fix handling of http code 400: Bad Request When issuing too many ranges.
3328
(Vincent Ladeuil, #115209)
3329
3330
* Issue a CONNECT request when connecting to an https server
3331
via a proxy to enable SSL tunneling.
3332
(Vincent Ladeuil, #120678)
3333
3334
* Fix ``bzr log -r`` to support selecting merge revisions, both
3335
individually and as part of revision ranges.
3336
(Kent Gibson, #4663)
3337
3338
* Don't leave cruft behind when failing to acquire a lockdir.
3339
(Martin Pool, #109169)
3340
3341
* Don't use the '-f' strace option during tests.
3342
(Vincent Ladeuil, #102019).
3343
3344
* Warn when setting ``push_location`` to a value that will be masked by
3345
locations.conf. (Aaron Bentley, #122286)
3346
3347
* Fix commit ordering in corner case (Aaron Bentley, #94975)
3348
3349
* Make annotate behave in a non-ASCII world (Adeodato Simó).
3350
3351
IMPROVEMENTS:
3352
3353
* The --lsprof-file option now dumps a text rendering of the profiling
3354
information if the filename ends in ".txt". It will also convert the
3355
profiling information to a format suitable for KCacheGrind if the
3356
output filename ends in ".callgrind". Fixes to the lsprofcalltree
3357
conversion process by Jean Paul Calderone and Itamar were also merged.
3358
See http://ddaa.net/blog/python/lsprof-calltree. (Ian Clatworthy)
3359
3360
* ``info`` now defaults to non-verbose mode, displaying only paths and
3361
abbreviated format info. ``info -v`` displays all the information
3362
formerly displayed by ``info``. (Aaron Bentley, Adeodato Simó)
3363
3364
* ``bzr missing`` now has better option names ``--this`` and ``--other``.
3365
(Elliot Murphy)
3366
3367
* The internal ``weave-list`` command has become ``versionedfile-list``,
3368
and now lists knits as well as weaves. (Aaron Bentley)
3369
3370
* Automatic merge base selection uses a faster algorithm that chooses
3371
better bases in criss-cross merge situations (Aaron Bentley)
3372
3373
* Progress reporting in ``commit`` has been improved. The various logical
3374
stages are now reported on as follows, namely:
3375
3376
* Collecting changes [Entry x/y] - Stage n/m
3377
* Saving data locally - Stage n/m
3378
* Uploading data to master branch - Stage n/m
3379
* Updating the working tree - Stage n/m
3380
* Running post commit hooks - Stage n/m
3381
3382
If there is no master branch, the 3rd stage is omitted and the total
3383
number of stages is adjusted accordingly.
3384
3385
Each hook that is run after commit is listed with a name (as hooks
3386
can be slow it is useful feedback).
3387
(Ian Clatworthy, Robert Collins)
3388
3389
* Various operations that are now faster due to avoiding unnecessary
3390
topological sorts. (Aaron Bentley)
3391
3392
* Make merge directives robust against broken bundles. (Aaron Bentley)
3393
3394
* The lsprof filename note is emitted via trace.note(), not standard
3395
output. (Aaron Bentley)
3396
3397
* ``bzrlib`` now exports explicit API compatibility information to assist
3398
library users and plugins. See the ``bzrlib.api`` module for details.
3399
(Robert Collins)
3400
3401
* Remove unnecessary lock probes when acquiring a lockdir.
3402
(Martin Pool)
3403
3404
* ``bzr --version`` now shows the location of the bzr log file, which
3405
is especially useful on Windows. (Martin Pool)
3406
3407
* -D now supports hooks to get debug tracing of hooks (though its currently
3408
minimal in nature). (Robert Collins)
3409
3410
* Long log format reports deltas on merge revisions.
3411
(John Arbash Meinel, Kent Gibson)
3412
3413
* Make initial push over ftp more resilient. (John Arbash Meinel)
3414
3415
* Print a summary of changes for update just like pull does.
3416
(Daniel Watkins, #113990)
3417
3418
* Add a -Dhpss option to trace smart protocol requests and responses.
3419
(Andrew Bennetts)
3420
3421
LIBRARY API BREAKS:
3422
3423
* Testing cleanups -
3424
``bzrlib.repository.RepositoryTestProviderAdapter`` has been moved
3425
to ``bzrlib.tests.repository_implementations``;
3426
``bzrlib.repository.InterRepositoryTestProviderAdapter`` has been moved
3427
to ``bzrlib.tests.interrepository_implementations``;
3428
``bzrlib.transport.TransportTestProviderAdapter`` has moved to
3429
``bzrlib.tests.test_transport_implementations``.
3430
``bzrlib.branch.BranchTestProviderAdapter`` has moved to
3431
``bzrlib.tests.branch_implementations``.
3432
``bzrlib.bzrdir.BzrDirTestProviderAdapter`` has moved to
3433
``bzrlib.tests.bzrdir_implementations``.
3434
``bzrlib.versionedfile.InterVersionedFileTestProviderAdapter`` has moved
3435
to ``bzrlib.tests.interversionedfile_implementations``.
3436
``bzrlib.store.revision.RevisionStoreTestProviderAdapter`` has moved to
3437
``bzrlib.tests.revisionstore_implementations``.
3438
``bzrlib.workingtree.WorkingTreeTestProviderAdapter`` has moved to
3439
``bzrlib.tests.workingtree_implementations``.
3440
These changes are an API break in the testing infrastructure only.
3441
(Robert Collins)
3442
3443
* Relocate TestCaseWithRepository to be more central. (Robert Collins)
3444
3445
* ``bzrlib.add.smart_add_tree`` will no longer perform glob expansion on
3446
win32. Callers of the function should do this and use the new
3447
``MutableTree.smart_add`` method instead. (Robert Collins)
3448
3449
* ``bzrlib.add.glob_expand_for_win32`` is now
3450
``bzrlib.win32utils.glob_expand``. (Robert Collins)
3451
3452
* ``bzrlib.add.FastPath`` is now private and moved to
3453
``bzrlib.mutabletree._FastPath``. (Robert Collins, Martin Pool)
3454
3455
* ``LockDir.wait`` removed. (Martin Pool)
3456
3457
* The ``SmartServer`` hooks API has changed for the ``server_started`` and
3458
``server_stopped`` hooks. The first parameter is now an iterable of
3459
backing URLs rather than a single URL. This is to reflect that many
3460
URLs may map to the external URL of the server. E.g. the server interally
3461
may have a chrooted URL but also the local file:// URL will be at the
3462
same location. (Robert Collins)
3463
3464
INTERNALS:
3465
3466
* New SMTPConnection class to unify email handling. (Adeodato Simó)
3467
3468
* Fix documentation of BzrError. (Adeodato Simó)
3469
3470
* Make BzrBadParameter an internal error. (Adeodato Simó)
3471
3472
* Remove use of 'assert False' to raise an exception unconditionally.
3473
(Martin Pool)
3474
3475
* Give a cleaner error when failing to decode knit index entry.
3476
(Martin Pool)
3477
3478
* TreeConfig would mistakenly search the top level when asked for options
3479
from a section. It now respects the section argument and only
3480
searches the specified section. (James Westby)
3481
3482
* Improve ``make api-docs`` output. (John Arbash Meinel)
3483
3484
* Use os.lstat rather than os.stat for osutils.make_readonly and
3485
osutils.make_writeable. This makes the difftools plugin more
3486
robust when dangling symlinks are found. (Elliot Murphy)
3487
3488
* New ``-Dlock`` option to log (to ~/.bzr.log) information on when
3489
lockdirs are taken or released. (Martin Pool)
3490
3491
* ``bzrlib`` Hooks are now nameable using ``Hooks.name_hook``. This
3492
allows a nicer UI when hooks are running as the current hook can
3493
be displayed. (Robert Collins)
3494
3495
* ``Transport.get`` has had its interface made more clear for ease of use.
3496
Retrieval of a directory must now fail with either 'PathError' at open
3497
time, or raise 'ReadError' on a read. (Robert Collins)
3498
3499
* New method ``_maybe_expand_globs`` on the ``Command`` class for
3500
dealing with unexpanded glob lists - e.g. on the win32 platform. This
3501
was moved from ``bzrlib.add._prepare_file_list``. (Robert Collins)
3502
3503
* ``bzrlib.add.smart_add`` and ``bzrlib.add.smart_add_tree`` are now
3504
deprecated in favour of ``MutableTree.smart_add``. (Robert Collins,
3505
Martin Pool)
3506
3507
* New method ``external_url`` on Transport for obtaining the url to
3508
hand to external processes. (Robert Collins)
3509
3510
* Teach windows installers to build pyrex/C extensions.
3511
(Alexander Belchenko)
3512
3513
TESTING:
3514
3515
* Removed the ``--keep-output`` option from selftest and clean up test
3516
directories as they're used. This reduces the IO load from
3517
running the test suite and cuts the time by about half.
3518
(Andrew Bennetts, Martin Pool)
3519
3520
* Add scenarios as a public attribute on the TestAdapter classes to allow
3521
modification of the generated scenarios before adaption and easier
3522
testing. (Robert Collins)
3523
3524
* New testing support class ``TestScenarioApplier`` which multiplies
3525
out a single teste by a list of supplied scenarios. (RobertCollins)
3526
3527
* Setting ``repository_to_test_repository`` on a repository_implementations
3528
test will cause it to be called during repository creation, allowing the
3529
testing of repository classes which are not based around the Format
3530
concept. For example a repository adapter can be tested in this manner,
3531
by altering the repository scenarios to include a scenario that sets this
3532
attribute during the test parameterisation in
3533
``bzrlib.tests.repository.repository_implementations``. (Robert Collins)
3534
3535
* Clean up many of the APIs for blackbox testing of Bazaar. The standard
3536
interface is now self.run_bzr. The command to run can be passed as
3537
either a list of parameters, a string containing the command line, or
3538
(deprecated) varargs parameters. (Martin Pool)
3539
3540
* The base TestCase now isolates tests from -D parameters by clearing
3541
``debug.debug_flags`` and restores it afterwards. (Robert Collins)
3542
3543
* Add a relpath parameter to get_transport methods in test framework to
3544
avoid useless cloning.

3563
NOTES WHEN UPGRADING:
3564
3565
* The kind() and is_executable() APIs on the WorkingTree interface no
3566
longer implicitly (read) locks and unlocks the tree. This *might*
3567
impact some plug-ins and tools using this part of the API. If you find
3568
an issue that may be caused by this change, please let us know,
3569
particularly the plug-in/tool maintainer. If encountered, the API
3570
fix is to surround kind() and is_executable() calls with lock_read()
3571
and unlock() like so::
3572
3573
work_tree.lock_read()
3574
try:
3575
kind = work_tree.kind(...)
3576
finally:
3577
work_tree.unlock()
3578
3579
INTERNALS:
3580
* Rework of LogFormatter API to provide beginning/end of log hooks and to
3581
encapsulate the details of the revision to be logged in a LogRevision
3582
object.
3583
In long log formats, merge revision ids are only shown when --show-ids
3584
is specified, and are labelled "revision-id:", as per mainline
3585
revisions, instead of "merged:". (Kent Gibson)
3586
3587
* New ``BranchBuilder`` API which allows the construction of particular
3588
histories quickly. Useful for testing and potentially other applications
3589
too. (Robert Collins)
3590
3591
IMPROVEMENTS:
3592
3593
* There are two new help topics, working-trees and repositories that
3594
attempt to explain these concepts. (James Westby, John Arbash Meinel,
3595
Aaron Bentley)
3596
3597
* Added ``bzr log --limit`` to report a limited number of revisions.
3598
(Kent Gibson, #3659)
3599
3600
* Revert does not try to preserve file contents that were originally
3601
produced by reverting to a historical revision. (Aaron Bentley)
3602
3603
* ``bzr log --short`` now includes ``[merge]`` for revisions which
3604
have more than one parent. This is a small improvement to help
3605
understanding what changes have occurred
3606
(John Arbash Meinel, #83887)
3607
3608
* TreeTransform avoids many renames when contructing large trees,
3609
improving speed. 3.25x speedups have been observed for construction of
3610
kernel-sized-trees, and checkouts are 1.28x faster. (Aaron Bentley)
3611
3612
* Commit on large trees is now faster. In my environment, a commit of
3613
a small change to the Mozilla tree (55k files) has dropped from
3614
66 seconds to 32 seconds. For a small tree of 600 files, commit of a
3615
small change is 33% faster. (Ian Clatworthy)
3616
3617
* New --create-prefix option to bzr init, like for push. (Daniel Watkins,
3618
#56322)
3619
3620
BUGFIXES:
3621
3622
* ``bzr push`` should only connect to the remote location one time.
3623
We have been connecting 3 times because we forget to pass around
3624
the Transport object. This adds ``BzrDir.clone_on_transport()``, so
3625
that we can pass in the Transport that we already have.
3626
(John Arbash Meinel, #75721)
3627
3628
* ``DirState.set_state_from_inventory()`` needs to properly order
3629
based on split paths, not just string paths.
3630
(John Arbash Meinel, #115947)
3631
3632
* Let TestUIFactoy encode the password prompt with its own stdout.
3633
(Vincent Ladeuil, #110204)
3634
3635
* pycurl should take use the range header that takes the range hint
3636
into account.
3637
(Vincent Ladeuil, #112719)
3638
3639
* WorkingTree4.get_file_sha1 no longer raises an exception when invoked
3640
on a missing file. (Aaron Bentley, #118186)
3641
3642
* WorkingTree.remove works correctly with tree references, and when pwd is
3643
not the tree root. (Aaron Bentley)
3644
3645
* Merge no longer fails when a file is renamed in one tree and deleted
3646
in the other. (Aaron Bentley, #110279)
3647
3648
* ``revision-info`` now accepts dotted revnos, doesn't require a tree,
3649
and defaults to the last revision (Matthew Fuller, #90048)
3650
3651
* Tests no longer fail when BZR_REMOTE_PATH is set in the environment.
3652
(Daniel Watkins, #111958)
3653
3654
* ``bzr branch -r revid:foo`` can be used to branch any revision in
3655
your repository. (Previously Branch6 only supported revisions in your
3656
mainline). (John Arbash Meinel, #115343)

3659
--------------------
3660
3661
BUGFIXES:
3662
3663
* Handle when you have 2 directories with similar names, but one has a
3664
hyphen. (``'abc'`` versus ``'abc-2'``). The WT4._iter_changes
3665
iterator was using direct comparison and ``'abc/a'`` sorts after
3666
``'abc-2'``, but ``('abc', 'a')`` sorts before ``('abc-2',)``.
3667
(John Arbash Meinel, #111227)
3668
3669
* Handle when someone renames a file on disk without telling bzr.
3670
Previously we would report the first file as missing, but not show
3671
the new unknown file. (John Arbash Meinel, #111288)
3672
3673
* Avoid error when running hooks after pulling into or pushing from
3674
a branch bound to a smartserver branch. (Martin Pool, #111968)
3675
3676
IMPROVEMENTS:
3677
3678
* Move developer documentation to doc/developers/. This reduces clutter in
3679
the root of the source tree and allows HACKING to be split into multiple
3680
files. (Robert Collins, Alexander Belchenko)
3681
3682
* Clean up the ``WorkingTree4._iter_changes()`` internal loops as well as
3683
``DirState.update_entry()``. This optimizes the core logic for ``bzr
3684
diff`` and ``bzr status`` significantly improving the speed of
3685
both. (John Arbash Meinel)

BUGFIXES:
3691
3692
* Handle the case when you delete a file, and then rename another file
3693
on top of it. Also handle the case of ``bzr rm --keep foo``. ``bzr
3694
status`` should show the removed file and an unknown file in its
3695
place. (John Arbash Meinel, #109993)
3696
3697
* Bundles properly read and write revision properties that have an
3698
empty value. And when the value is not ASCII.
3699
(John Arbash Meinel, #109613)

3707
* ``WorkingTree4._iter_changes`` should not descend into unversioned

directories. (John Arbash Meinel, #110399)

bzr 0.16rc1 2007-04-26
3711
-----------------------
3712
3713
NOTES WHEN UPGRADING:
3714
3715
* ``bzr remove`` and ``bzr rm`` will now remove the working file, if
3716
it could be recovered again.
3717
This has been done for consistency with svn and the unix rm command.
3718
The old ``remove`` behaviour has been retained in the new option
3719
``bzr remove --keep``, which will just stop versioning the file,
3720
but not delete it.
3721
``bzr remove --force`` have been added which will always delete the
3722
files.
3723
``bzr remove`` is also more verbose.
3724
(Marius Kruger, #82602)
3725
3726
IMPROVEMENTS:
3727
3728
* Merge directives can now be supplied as input to `merge` and `pull`,
3729
like bundles can. (Aaron Bentley)
3730
3731
* Sending the SIGQUIT signal to bzr, which can be done on Unix by
3732
pressing Control-Backslash, drops bzr into a debugger. Type ``'c'``
3733
to continue. This can be disabled by setting the environment variable
3734
``BZR_SIGQUIT_PDB=0``. (Martin Pool)
3735
3736
* selftest now supports --list-only to list tests instead of running
3737
them. (Ian Clatworthy)
3738
3739
* selftest now supports --exclude PATTERN (or -x PATTERN) to exclude
3740
tests with names that match that regular expression.
3741
(Ian Clatworthy, #102679)
3742
3743
* selftest now supports --randomize SEED to run tests in a random order.
3744
SEED is typically the value 'now' meaning 'use the current time'.
3745
(Ian Clatworthy, #102686)
3746
3747
* New option ``--fixes`` to commit, which stores bug fixing annotations as
3748
revision properties. Built-in support for Launchpad, Debian, Trac and
3749
Bugzilla bug trackers. (Jonathan Lange, James Henstridge, Robert Collins)
3750
3751
* New API, ``bzrlib.bugtracker.tracker_registry``, for adding support for
3752
other bug trackers to ``fixes``. (Jonathan Lange, James Henstridge,
3753
Robert Collins)
3754
3755
* ``selftest`` has new short options ``-f`` and ``-1``. (Martin
3756
Pool)
3757
3758
* ``bzrlib.tsort.MergeSorter`` optimizations. Change the inner loop
3759
into using local variables instead of going through ``self._var``.
3760
Improves the time to ``merge_sort`` a 10k revision graph by
3761
approximately 40% (~700->400ms). (John Arbash Meinel)
3762
3763
* ``make docs`` now creates a man page at ``man1/bzr.1`` fixing bug 107388.
3764
(Robert Collins)
3765
3766
* ``bzr help`` now provides cross references to other help topics using
3767
the _see_also facility on command classes. Likewise the bzr_man
3768
documentation, and the bzr.1 man page also include this information.
3769
(Robert Collins)
3770
3771
* Tags are now included in logs, that use the long log formatter.
3772
(Erik Bågfors, Alexander Belchenko)
3773
3774
* ``bzr help`` provides a clearer message when a help topic cannot be
3775
found. (Robert Collins, #107656)
3776
3777
* ``bzr help`` now accepts optional prefixes for command help. The help
3778
for all commands can now be found at ``bzr help commands/COMMANDNAME``
3779
as well as ``bzr help COMMANDNAME`` (which only works for commands
3780
where the name is not the same as a more general help topic).
3781
(Robert Collins)
3782
3783
* ``bzr help PLUGINNAME`` will now return the module docstring from the
3784
plugin PLUGINNAME. (Robert Collins, #50408)
3785
3786
* New help topic ``urlspec`` which lists the availables transports.
3787
(Goffredo Baroncelli)
3788
3789
* doc/server.txt updated to document the default bzr:// port
3790
and also update the blurb about the hpss' current status.
3791
(Robert Collins, #107125).
3792
3793
* ``bzr serve`` now listens on interface 0.0.0.0 by default, making it
3794
serve out to the local LAN (and anyone in the world that can reach the
3795
machine running ``bzr serve``. (Robert Collins, #98918)
3796
3797
* A new smart server protocol version has been added. It prefixes requests
3798
and responses with an explicit version identifier so that future protocol
3799
revisions can be dealt with gracefully. (Andrew Bennetts, Robert Collins)
3800
3801
* The bzr protocol version 2 indicates success or failure in every response
3802
without depending on particular commands encoding that consistently,
3803
allowing future client refactorings to be much more robust about error
3804
handling. (Robert Collins, Martin Pool, Andrew Bennetts)
3805
3806
* The smart protocol over HTTP client has been changed to always post to the
3807
same ``.bzr/smart`` URL under the original location when it can. This allows
3808
HTTP servers to only have to pass URLs ending in .bzr/smart to the smart
3809
server handler, and not arbitrary ``.bzr/*/smart`` URLs. (Andrew Bennetts)
3810
3811
* digest authentication is now supported for proxies and HTTP by the urllib
3812
based http implementation. Tested against Apache 2.0.55 and Squid
3813
2.6.5. Basic and digest authentication are handled coherently for HTTP
3814
and proxy: if the user is provided in the url (bzr command line for HTTP,
3815
proxy environment variables for proxies), the password is prompted for
3816
(only once). If the password is provided, it is taken into account. Once
3817
the first authentication is successful, all further authentication
3818
roundtrips are avoided by preventively setting the right authentication
3819
header(s).
3820
(Vincent Ladeuil).
3821
3822
INTERNALS:
3823
3824
* bzrlib API compatability with 0.8 has been dropped, cleaning up some
3825
code paths. (Robert Collins)
3826
3827
* Change the format of chroot urls so that they can be safely manipulated
3828
by generic url utilities without causing the resulting urls to have
3829
escaped the chroot. A side effect of this is that creating a chroot
3830
requires an explicit action using a ChrootServer.
3831
(Robert Collins, Andrew Bennetts)
3832
3833
* Deprecate ``Branch.get_root_id()`` because branches don't have root ids,
3834
rather than fixing bug #96847. (Aaron Bentley)
3835
3836
* ``WorkingTree.apply_inventory_delta`` provides a better alternative to
3837
``WorkingTree._write_inventory``. (Aaron Bentley)
3838
3839
* Convenience method ``TestCase.expectFailure`` ensures that known failures
3840
do not silently pass. (Aaron Bentley)
3841
3842
* ``Transport.local_abspath`` now raises ``NotLocalUrl`` rather than
3843
``TransportNotPossible``. (Martin Pool, Ian Clatworthy)
3844
3845
* New SmartServer hooks facility. There are two initial hooks documented
3846
in ``bzrlib.transport.smart.SmartServerHooks``. The two initial hooks allow
3847
plugins to execute code upon server startup and shutdown.
3848
(Robert Collins).
3849
3850
* SmartServer in standalone mode will now close its listening socket
3851
when it stops, rather than waiting for garbage collection. This primarily
3852
fixes test suite hangs when a test tries to connect to a shutdown server.
3853
It may also help improve behaviour when dealing with a server running
3854
on a specific port (rather than dynamically assigned ports).
3855
(Robert Collins)
3856
3857
* Move most SmartServer code into a new package, bzrlib/smart.
3858
bzrlib/transport/remote.py contains just the Transport classes that used
3859
to be in bzrlib/transport/smart.py. (Andrew Bennetts)
3860
3861
* urllib http implementation avoid roundtrips associated with
3862
401 (and 407) errors once the authentication succeeds.
3863
(Vincent Ladeuil).
3864
3865
* urlib http now supports querying the user for a proxy password if
3866
needed. Realm is shown in the prompt for both HTTP and proxy
3867
authentication when the user is required to type a password.
3868
(Vincent Ladeuil).
3869
3870
* Renamed SmartTransport (and subclasses like SmartTCPTransport) to
3871
RemoteTransport (and subclasses to RemoteTCPTransport, etc). This is more
3872
consistent with its new home in ``bzrlib/transport/remote.py``, and because
3873
it's not really a "smart" transport, just one that does file operations
3874
via remote procedure calls. (Andrew Bennetts)
3875
3876
* The ``lock_write`` method of ``LockableFiles``, ``Repository`` and
3877
``Branch`` now accept a ``token`` keyword argument, so that separate
3878
instances of those objects can share a lock if it has the right token.
3879
(Andrew Bennetts, Robert Collins)
3880
3881
* New method ``get_branch_reference`` on ``BzrDir`` allows the detection of
3882
branch references - which the smart server component needs.
3883
3884
* The Repository API ``make_working_trees`` is now permitted to return
3885
False when ``set_make_working_trees`` is not implemented - previously
3886
an unimplemented ``set_make_working_trees`` implied the result True
3887
from ``make_working_trees``. This has been changed to accomodate the
3888
smart server, where it does not make sense (at this point) to ever
3889
make working trees by default. (Robert Collins)
3890
3891
* Command objects can now declare related help topics by having _see_also
3892
set to a list of related topic. (Robert Collins)
3893
3894
* ``bzrlib.help`` now delegates to the Command class for Command specific
3895
help. (Robert Collins)
3896
3897
* New class ``TransportListRegistry``, derived from the Registry class, which
3898
simplifies tracking the available Transports. (Goffredo Baroncelli)
3899
3900
* New function ``Branch.get_revision_id_to_revno_map`` which will
3901
return a dictionary mapping revision ids to dotted revnos. Since
3902
dotted revnos are defined in the context of the branch tip, it makes
3903
sense to generate them from a ``Branch`` object.
3904
(John Arbash Meinel)
3905
3906
* Fix the 'Unprintable error' message display to use the repr of the
3907
exception that prevented printing the error because the str value
3908
for it is often not useful in debugging (e.g. KeyError('foo') has a
3909
str() of 'foo' but a repr of 'KeyError('foo')' which is much more
3910
useful. (Robert Collins)
3911
3912
* ``urlutils.normalize_url`` now unescapes unreserved characters, such as "~".
3913
(Andrew Bennetts)
3914
3915
BUGFIXES:
3916
3917
* Don't fail bundle selftest if email has 'two' embedded.
3918
(Ian Clatworthy, #98510)
3919
3920
* Remove ``--verbose`` from ``bzr bundle``. It didn't work anyway.
3921
(Robert Widhopf-Fenk, #98591)
3922
3923
* Remove ``--basis`` from the checkout/branch commands - it didn't work
3924
properly and is no longer beneficial.
3925
(Robert Collins, #53675, #43486)
3926
3927
* Don't produce encoding error when adding duplicate files.
3928
(Aaron Bentley)
3929
3930
* Fix ``bzr log <file>`` so it only logs the revisions that changed
3931
the file, and does it faster.
3932
(Kent Gibson, John Arbash Meinel, #51980, #69477)
3933
3934
* Fix ``InterDirstateTre._iter_changes`` to handle when we come across
3935
an empty versioned directory, which now has files in it.
3936
(John Arbash Meinel, #104257)
3937
3938
* Teach ``common_ancestor`` to shortcut when the tip of one branch is
3939
inside the ancestry of the other. Saves a lot of graph processing
3940
(with an ancestry of 16k revisions, ``bzr merge ../already-merged``
3941
changes from 2m10s to 13s). (John Arbash Meinel, #103757)
3942
3943
* Fix ``show_diff_trees`` to handle the case when a file is modified,
3944
and the containing directory is renamed. (The file path is different
3945
in this versus base, but it isn't marked as a rename).
3946
(John Arbash Meinel, #103870)
3947
3948
* FTP now works even when the FTP server does not support atomic rename.
3949
(Aaron Bentley, #89436)
3950
3951
* Correct handling in bundles and merge directives of timezones with
3952
that are not an integer number of hours offset from UTC. Always
3953
represent the epoch time in UTC to avoid problems with formatting
3954
earlier times on win32. (Martin Pool, Alexander Belchenko, John
3955
Arbash Meinel)
3956
3957
* Typo in the help for ``register-branch`` fixed. (Robert Collins, #96770)
3958
3959
* "dirstate" and "dirstate-tags" formats now produce branches compatible
3960
with old versions of bzr. (Aaron Bentley, #107168))
3961
3962
* Handle moving a directory when children have been added, removed,
3963
and renamed. (John Arbash Meinel, #105479)
3964
3965
* Don't preventively use basic authentication for proxy before receiving a
3966
407 error. Otherwise people willing to use other authentication schemes
3967
may expose their password in the clear (or nearly). This add one
3968
roundtrip in case basic authentication should be used, but plug the
3969
security hole.
3970
(Vincent Ladeuil)
3971
3972
* Handle http and proxy digest authentication.
3973
(Vincent Ladeuil, #94034).
3974
3975
TESTING:
3976
3977
* Added ``bzrlib.strace.strace`` which will strace a single callable and
3978
return a StraceResult object which contains just the syscalls involved
3979
in running it. (Robert Collins)
3980
3981
* New test method ``reduceLockdirTimeout`` to drop the default (ui-centric)
3982
default time down to one suitable for tests. (Andrew Bennetts)
3983
3984
* Add new ``vfs_transport_factory`` attribute on tests which provides the
3985
common vfs backing for both the readonly and readwrite transports.
3986
This allows the RemoteObject tests to back onto local disk or memory,
3987
and use the existing ``transport_server`` attribute all tests know about
3988
to be the smart server transport. This in turn allows tests to
3989
differentiate between 'transport to access the branch', and
3990
'transport which is a VFS' - which matters in Remote* tests.
3991
(Robert Collins, Andrew Bennetts)
3992
3993
* The ``make_branch_and_tree`` method for tests will now create a
3994
lightweight checkout for the tree if the ``vfs_transport_factory`` is not
3995
a LocalURLServer. (Robert Collins, Andrew Bennetts)
3996
3997
* Branch implementation tests have been audited to ensure that all urls
3998
passed to Branch APIs use proper urls, except when local-disk paths
3999
are intended. This is so that tests correctly access the test transport
4000
which is often not equivalent to local disk in Remote* tests. As part
4001
of this many tests were adjusted to remove dependencies on local disk
4002
access.
4003
(Robert Collins, Andrew Bennetts)
4004
4005
* Mark bzrlib.tests and bzrlib.tests.TestUtil as providing assertFOO helper
4006
functions by adding a ``__unittest`` global attribute. (Robert Collins,
4007
Andrew Bennetts, Martin Pool, Jonathan Lange)
4008
4009
* Refactored proxy and authentication handling to simplify the
4010
implementation of new auth schemes for both http and proxy.

CHANGES:
4029

* A warning is now displayed when opening working trees in older
4031
formats, to encourage people to upgrade to WorkingTreeFormat4.
4032
(Martin Pool)
4033
4034
IMPROVEMENTS:
4035
4036
* HTTP redirections are now taken into account when a branch (or a
4037
bundle) is accessed for the first time. A message is issued at each
4038
redirection to inform the user. In the past, http redirections were
4039
silently followed for each request which significantly degraded the
4040
performances. The http redirections are not followed anymore by
4041
default, instead a RedirectRequested exception is raised. For bzrlib
4042
users needing to follow http redirections anyway,
4043
``bzrlib.transport.do_catching_redirections`` provide an easy transition
4044
path. (vila)
4045
4046
INTERNALS:
4047
4048
* Added ``ReadLock.temporary_write_lock()`` to allow upgrading an OS read
4049
lock to an OS write lock. Linux can do this without unlocking, Win32
4050
needs to unlock in between. (John Arbash Meinel)
4051
4052
* New parameter ``recommend_upgrade`` to ``BzrDir.open_workingtree``
4053
to silence (when false) warnings about opening old formats.
4054
(Martin Pool)
4055
4056
* Fix minor performance regression with bzr-0.15 on pre-dirstate
4057
trees. (We were reading the working inventory too many times).
4058
(John Arbash Meinel)
4059
4060
* Remove ``Branch.get_transaction()`` in favour of a simple cache of
4061
``revision_history``. Branch subclasses should override
4062
``_gen_revision_history`` rather than ``revision_history`` to make use of
4063
this cache, and call ``_clear_revision_history_cache`` and
4064
``_cache_revision_history`` at appropriate times. (Andrew Bennetts)
4065
4066
BUGFIXES:
4067
4068
* Take ``smtp_server`` from user config into account.
4069
(vila, #92195)
4070
4071
* Restore Unicode filename handling for versioned and unversioned files.
4072
(John Arbash Meinel, #92608)
4073
4074
* Don't fail during ``bzr commit`` if a file is marked removed, and
4075
the containing directory is auto-removed. (John Arbash Meinel, #93681)
4076
4077
* ``bzr status FILENAME`` failed on Windows because of an uncommon
4078
errno. (``ERROR_DIRECTORY == 267 != ENOTDIR``).
4079
(Wouter van Heyst, John Arbash Meinel, #90819)
4080
4081
* ``bzr checkout source`` should create a local branch in the same
4082
format as source. (John Arbash Meinel, #93854)
4083
4084
* ``bzr commit`` with a kind change was failing to update the
4085
last-changed-revision for directories. The
4086
InventoryDirectory._unchanged only looked at the ``parent_id`` and name,
4087
ignoring the fact that the kind could have changed, too.
4088
(John Arbash Meinel, #90111)
4089
4090
* ``bzr mv dir/subdir other`` was incorrectly updating files inside
4091
the directory. So that there was a chance it would break commit,
4092
etc. (John Arbash Meinel, #94037)
4093
4094
* Correctly handles mutiple permanent http redirections.

4100
NOTES WHEN UPGRADING:
4101
4102
* Release 0.15rc2 of bzr changes the ``bzr init-repo`` command to
4103
default to ``--trees`` instead of ``--no-trees``.
4104
Existing shared repositories are not affected.
4105
4106
IMPROVEMENTS:
4107
4108
* New ``merge-directive`` command to generate machine- and human-readable
4109
merge requests. (Aaron Bentley)
4110
4111
* New ``submit:`` revision specifier makes it easy to diff against the
4112
common ancestor with the submit location (Aaron Bentley)
4113
4114
* Added support for Putty's SSH implementation. (Dmitry Vasiliev)
4115
4116
* Added ``bzr status --versioned`` to report only versioned files,
4117
not unknowns. (Kent Gibson)
4118
4119
* Merge now autodetects the correct line-ending style for its conflict
4120
markers. (Aaron Bentley)

4126
4127
BUGFIXES:
4128
4129
* New ``--numbered-dirs`` option to ``bzr selftest`` to use
4130
numbered dirs for TestCaseInTempDir. This is default behavior
4131
on Windows. Anyone can force named dirs on Windows
4132
with ``--no-numbered-dirs``. (Alexander Belchenko)
4133
4134
* Fix ``RevisionSpec_revid`` to handle the Unicode strings passed in
4135
from the command line. (Marien Zwart, #90501)
4136
4137
* Fix ``TreeTransform._iter_changes`` when both the source and
4138
destination are missing. (Aaron Bentley, #88842)
4139
4140
* Fix commit of merges with symlinks in dirstate trees.
4141
(Marien Zwart)
4142

4148
-----------------------
4149
4150
SURPRISES:
4151
4152
* The default disk format has changed. Please run 'bzr upgrade' in your
4153
working trees to upgrade. This new default is compatible for network
4154
operations, but not for local operations. That is, if you have two
4155
versions of bzr installed locally, after upgrading you can only use the
4156
bzr 0.15 version. This new default does not enable tags or nested-trees
4157
as they are incompatible with bzr versions before 0.15 over the network.
4158
4159
* For users of bzrlib: Two major changes have been made to the working tree
4160
api in bzrlib. The first is that many methods and attributes, including
4161
the inventory attribute, are no longer valid for use until one of
4162
``lock_read``/``lock_write``/``lock_tree_write`` has been called,
4163
and become invalid again after unlock is called. This has been done
4164
to improve performance and correctness as part of the dirstate
4165
development.
4166
(Robert Collins, John A Meinel, Martin Pool, and others).
4167
4168
* For users of bzrlib: The attribute 'tree.inventory' should be considered
4169
readonly. Previously it was possible to directly alter this attribute, or
4170
its contents, and have the tree notice this. This has been made
4171
unsupported - it may work in some tree formats, but in the newer dirstate
4172
format such actions will have no effect and will be ignored, or even
4173
cause assertions. All operations possible can still be carried out by a
4174
combination of the tree API, and the bzrlib.transform API. (Robert
4175
Collins, John A Meinel, Martin Pool, and others).
4176
4177
IMPROVEMENTS:
4178
4179
* Support for OS Windows 98. Also .bzr.log on any windows system
4180
saved in My Documents folder. (Alexander Belchenko)
4181
4182
* ``bzr mv`` enhanced to support already moved files.
4183
In the past the mv command would have failed if the source file doesn't
4184
exist. In this situation ``bzr mv`` would now detect that the file has
4185
already moved and update the repository accordingly, if the target file
4186
does exist.
4187
A new option ``--after`` has been added so that if two files already
4188
exist, you could notify Bazaar that you have moved a (versioned) file
4189
and replaced it with another. Thus in this case ``bzr move --after``
4190
will only update the Bazaar identifier.
4191
(Steffen Eichenberg, Marius Kruger)
4192
4193
* ``ls`` now works on treeless branches and remote branches.
4194
(Aaron Bentley)
4195
4196
* ``bzr help global-options`` describes the global options.
4197
(Aaron Bentley)
4198
4199
* ``bzr pull --overwrite`` will now correctly overwrite checkouts.
4200
(Robert Collins)
4201
4202
* Files are now allowed to change kind (e.g. from file to symlink).
4203
Supported by ``commit``, ``revert`` and ``status``
4204
(Aaron Bentley)
4205
4206
* ``inventory`` and ``unknowns`` hidden in favour of ``ls``
4207
(Aaron Bentley)
4208
4209
* ``bzr help checkouts`` descibes what checkouts are and some possible
4210
uses of them. (James Westby, Aaron Bentley)
4211
4212
* A new ``-d`` option to push, pull and merge overrides the default
4213
directory. (Martin Pool)
4214
4215
* Branch format 6: smaller, and potentially faster than format 5. Supports
4216
``append_history_only`` mode, where the log view and revnos do not change,
4217
except by being added to. Stores policy settings in
4218
".bzr/branch/branch.conf".
4219
4220
* ``append_only`` branches: Format 6 branches may be configured so that log
4221
view and revnos are always consistent. Either create the branch using
4222
"bzr init --append-revisions-only" or edit the config file as descriped
4223
in docs/configuration.txt.
4224
4225
* rebind: Format 6 branches retain the last-used bind location, so if you
4226
"bzr unbind", you can "bzr bind" to bind to the previously-selected
4227
bind location.
4228
4229
* Builtin tags support, created and deleted by the ``tag`` command and
4230
stored in the branch. Tags can be accessed with the revisionspec
4231
``-rtag:``, and listed with ``bzr tags``. Tags are not versioned
4232
at present. Tags require a network incompatible upgrade. To perform this
4233
upgrade, run ``bzr upgrade --dirstate-tags`` in your branch and
4234
repositories. (Martin Pool)
4235
4236
* The ``bzr://`` transport now has a well-known port number, 4155,
4237
which it will use by default. (Andrew Bennetts, Martin Pool)
4238
4239
* Bazaar now looks for user-installed plugins before looking for site-wide
4240
plugins. (Jonathan Lange)
4241
4242
* ``bzr resolve`` now detects and marks resolved text conflicts.
4243
(Aaron Bentley)
4244
4245
INTERNALS:
4246
4247
* Internally revision ids and file ids are now passed around as utf-8
4248
bytestrings, rather than treating them as Unicode strings. This has
4249
performance benefits for Knits, since we no longer need to decode the
4250
revision id for each line of content, nor for each entry in the index.
4251
This will also help with the future dirstate format.
4252
(John Arbash Meinel)
4253
4254
* Reserved ids (any revision-id ending in a colon) are rejected by
4255
versionedfiles, repositories, branches, and working trees
4256
(Aaron Bentley)
4257
4258
* Minor performance improvement by not creating a ProgressBar for
4259
every KnitIndex we create. (about 90ms for a bzr.dev tree)
4260
(John Arbash Meinel)
4261
4262
* New easier to use Branch hooks facility. There are five initial hooks,
4263
all documented in bzrlib.branch.BranchHooks.__init__ - ``'set_rh'``,
4264
``'post_push'``, ``'post_pull'``, ``'post_commit'``,
4265
``'post_uncommit'``. These hooks fire after the matching operation
4266
on a branch has taken place, and were originally added for the
4267
branchrss plugin. (Robert Collins)
4268
4269
* New method ``Branch.push()`` which should be used when pushing from a
4270
branch as it makes performance and policy decisions to match the UI
4271
level command ``push``. (Robert Collins).
4272
4273
* Add a new method ``Tree.revision_tree`` which allows access to cached
4274
trees for arbitrary revisions. This allows the in development dirstate
4275
tree format to provide access to the callers to cached copies of
4276
inventory data which are cheaper to access than inventories from the
4277
repository.
4278
(Robert Collins, Martin Pool)
4279
4280
* New ``Branch.last_revision_info`` method, this is being done to allow
4281
optimization of requests for both the number of revisions and the last
4282
revision of a branch with smartservers and potentially future branch
4283
formats. (Wouter van Heyst, Robert Collins)
4284
4285
* Allow ``'import bzrlib.plugins.NAME'`` to work when the plugin NAME has not
4286
yet been loaded by ``load_plugins()``. This allows plugins to depend on each
4287
other for code reuse without requiring users to perform file-renaming
4288
gymnastics. (Robert Collins)
4289
4290
* New Repository method ``'gather_stats'`` for statistic data collection.
4291
This is expected to grow to cover a number of related uses mainly
4292
related to bzr info. (Robert Collins)
4293
4294
* Log formatters are now managed with a registry.
4295
``log.register_formatter`` continues to work, but callers accessing
4296
the FORMATTERS dictionary directly will not.
4297
4298
* Allow a start message to be passed to the ``edit_commit_message``
4299
function. This will be placed in the message offered to the user
4300
for editing above the separator. It allows a template commit message
4301
to be used more easily. (James Westby)
4302
4303
* ``GPGStrategy.sign()`` will now raise ``BzrBadParameterUnicode`` if
4304
you pass a Unicode string rather than an 8-bit string. Callers need
4305
to be updated to encode first. (John Arbash Meinel)
4306
4307
* Branch.push, pull, merge now return Result objects with information
4308
about what happened, rather than a scattering of various methods. These
4309
are also passed to the post hooks. (Martin Pool)
4310
4311
* File formats and architecture is in place for managing a forest of trees
4312
in bzr, and splitting up existing trees into smaller subtrees, and
4313
finally joining trees to make a larger tree. This is the first iteration
4314
of this support, and the user-facing aspects still require substantial
4315
work. If you wish to experiment with it, use ``bzr upgrade
4316
--dirstate-with-subtree`` in your working trees and repositories.
4317
You can use the hidden commands ``split`` and ``join`` and to create
4318
and manipulate nested trees, but please consider using the nested-trees
4319
branch, which contains substantial UI improvements, instead.

4321
(Aaron Bentley, Martin Pool, Robert Collins).
4322
4323
BUGFIXES:
4324
4325
* ``bzr annotate`` now uses dotted revnos from the viewpoint of the
4326
branch, rather than the last changed revision of the file.
4327
(John Arbash Meinel, #82158)
4328
4329
* Lock operations no longer hang if they encounter a permission problem.
4330
(Aaron Bentley)
4331
4332
* ``bzr push`` can resume a push that was canceled before it finished.
4333
Also, it can push even if the target directory exists if you supply
4334
the ``--use-existing-dir`` flag.
4335
(John Arbash Meinel, #30576, #45504)
4336
4337
* Fix http proxy authentication when user and an optional
4338
password appears in the ``*_proxy`` vars. (Vincent Ladeuil,
4339
#83954).
4340
4341
* ``bzr log branch/file`` works for local treeless branches
4342
(Aaron Bentley, #84247)
4343
4344
* Fix problem with UNC paths on Windows 98. (Alexander Belchenko, #84728)
4345
4346
* Searching location of CA bundle for PyCurl in env variable
4347
(``CURL_CA_BUNDLE``), and on win32 along the PATH.
4348
(Alexander Belchenko, #82086)
4349
4350
* ``bzr init`` works with unicode argument LOCATION.
4351
(Alexander Belchenko, #85599)
4352
4353
* Raise ``DependencyNotPresent`` if pycurl do not support https.
4354
(Vincent Ladeuil, #85305)
4355
4356
* Invalid proxy env variables should not cause a traceback.
4357

* Ignore patterns normalised to use '/' path separator.
4360
(Kent Gibson, #86451)

4365
(Johan Dahlberg, #75577)
4366

* ``bzr help global-options`` describes the global options. (Aaron Bentley)
4379
4380
BUG FIXES:
4381
4382
* Skip documentation generation tests if the tools to do so are not
4383
available. Fixes running selftest for installled copies of bzr.
4384
(John Arbash Meinel, #80330)
4385
4386
* Fix the code that discovers whether bzr is being run from it's
4387
working tree to handle the case when it isn't but the directory
4388
it is in is below a repository. (James Westby, #77306)

4391
bzr 0.14rc1 2007-01-16
4392
-----------------------
4393
4394
IMPROVEMENTS:
4395
4396
* New connection: ``bzr+http://`` which supports tunnelling the smart
4397
protocol over an HTTP connection. If writing is enabled on the bzr
4398
server, then you can write over the http connection.
4399
(Andrew Bennetts, John Arbash Meinel)
4400
4401
* Aliases now support quotation marks, so they can contain whitespace
4402
(Marius Kruger)
4403
4404
* PyCurlTransport now use a single curl object. By specifying explicitly
4405
the 'Range' header, we avoid the need to use two different curl objects
4406
(and two connections to the same server). (Vincent Ladeuil)
4407
4408
* ``bzr commit`` does not prompt for a message until it is very likely to
4409
succeed. (Aaron Bentley)
4410
4411
* ``bzr conflicts`` now takes --text to list pathnames of text conflicts
4412
(Aaron Bentley)
4413
4414
* Fix ``iter_lines_added_or_present_in_versions`` to use a set instead
4415
of a list while checking if a revision id was requested. Takes 10s
4416
off of the ``fileids_affected_by_revision_ids`` time, which is 10s
4417
of the ``bzr branch`` time. Also improve ``fileids_...`` time by
4418
filtering lines with a regex rather than multiple ``str.find()``
4419
calls. (saves another 300ms) (John Arbash Meinel)
4420
4421
* Policy can be set for each configuration key. This allows keys to be
4422
inherited properly across configuration entries. For example, this
4423
should enable you to do::
4424
4425
[/home/user/project]
4426
push_location = sftp://host/srv/project/
4427
push_location:policy = appendpath
4428
4429
And then a branch like ``/home/user/project/mybranch`` should get an
4430
automatic push location of ``sftp://host/srv/project/mybranch``.
4431
(James Henstridge)
4432
4433
* Added ``bzr status --short`` to make status report svn style flags
4434
for each file. For example::
4435
4436
$ bzr status --short
4437
A foo
4438
A bar
4439
D baz
4440
? wooley
4441
4442
* 'bzr selftest --clean-output' allows easily clean temporary tests
4443
directories without running tests. (Alexander Belchenko)
4444
4445
* ``bzr help hidden-commands`` lists all hidden commands. (Aaron Bentley)
4446
4447
* ``bzr merge`` now has an option ``--pull`` to fall back to pull if
4448
local is fully merged into remote. (Jan Hudec)
4449
4450
* ``bzr help formats`` describes available directory formats. (Aaron Bentley)
4451
4452
INTERNALS:
4453
4454
* A few tweaks directly to ``fileids_affected_by_revision_ids`` to
4455
help speed up processing, as well allowing to extract unannotated
4456
lines. Between the two ``fileids_affected_by_revision_ids`` is
4457
improved by approx 10%. (John Arbash Meinel)
4458
4459
* Change Revision serialization to only write out millisecond
4460
resolution. Rather than expecting floating point serialization to
4461
preserve more resolution than we need. (Henri Weichers, Martin Pool)
4462
4463
* Test suite ends cleanly on Windows. (Vincent Ladeuil)
4464
4465
* When ``encoding_type`` attribute of class Command is equal to 'exact',
4466
force sys.stdout to be a binary stream on Windows, and therefore
4467
keep exact line-endings (without LF -> CRLF conversion).
4468
(Alexander Belchenko)
4469
4470
* Single-letter short options are no longer globally declared. (Martin
4471
Pool)
4472
4473
* Before using detected user/terminal encoding bzr should check
4474
that Python has corresponding codec. (Alexander Belchenko)
4475
4476
* Formats for end-user selection are provided via a FormatRegistry (Aaron Bentley)
4477
4478
BUG FIXES:
4479
4480
* ``bzr missing --verbose`` was showing adds/removals in the wrong
4481
direction. (John Arbash Meinel)
4482
4483
* ``bzr annotate`` now defaults to showing dotted revnos for merged
4484
revisions. It cuts them off at a depth of 12 characters, but you can
4485
supply ``--long`` to see the full number. You can also use
4486
``--show-ids`` to display the original revision ids, rather than
4487
revision numbers and committer names. (John Arbash Meinel, #75637)
4488
4489
* bzr now supports Win32 UNC path (e.g. ``\HOST\path``.
4490
(Alexander Belchenko, #57869)
4491
4492
* Win32-specific: output of cat, bundle and diff commands don't mangle
4493
line-endings (Alexander Belchenko, #55276)
4494
4495
* Replace broken fnmatch based ignore pattern matching with custom pattern
4496
matcher.
4497
(Kent Gibson, Jan Hudec #57637)
4498
4499
* pycurl and urllib can detect short reads at different places. Update
4500
the test suite to test more cases. Also detect http error code 416
4501
which was raised for that specific bug. Also enhance the urllib
4502
robustness by detecting invalid ranges (and pycurl's one by detecting
4503
short reads during the initial GET). (Vincent Ladeuil, #73948)
4504
4505
* The urllib connection sharing interacts badly with urllib2
4506
proxy setting (the connections didn't go thru the proxy
4507
anymore). Defining a proper ProxyHandler solves the
4508
problem. (Vincent Ladeuil, #74759)
4509
4510
* Use urlutils to generate relative URLs, not osutils
4511
(Aaron Bentley, #76229)
4512
4513
* ``bzr status`` in a readonly directory should work without giving
4514
lots of errors. (John Arbash Meinel, #76299)
4515
4516
* Mention the revisionspec topic for the revision option help.
4517
(Wouter van Heyst, #31663)

IMPROVEMENTS:
4532
4533
* New command ``bzr remove-tree`` allows the removal of the working
4534
tree from a branch.
4535
(Daniel Silverstone)
4536
4537
* urllib uses shared keep-alive connections, so http
4538
operations are substantially faster.
4539
(Vincent Ladeuil, #53654)
4540
4541
* ``bzr export`` allows an optional branch parameter, to export a bzr
4542
tree from some other url. For example:
4543
``bzr export bzr.tar.gz http://bazaar-vcs.org/bzr/bzr.dev``
4544
(Daniel Silverstone)
4545
4546
* Added ``bzr help topics`` to the bzr help system. This gives a
4547
location for general information, outside of a specific command.
4548
This includes updates for ``bzr help revisionspec`` the first topic
4549
included. (Goffredo Baroncelli, John Arbash Meinel, #42714)
4550
4551
* WSGI-compatible HTTP smart server. See ``doc/http_smart_server.txt``.
4552
(Andrew Bennetts)
4553
4554
* Knit files will now cache full texts only when the size of the
4555
deltas is as large as the size of the fulltext. (Or after 200
4556
deltas, whichever comes first). This has the most benefit on large
4557
files with small changes, such as the inventory for a large project.
4558
(eg For a project with 2500 files, and 7500 revisions, it changes
4559
the size of inventory.knit from 11MB to 5.4MB) (John Arbash Meinel)
4560
4561
INTERNALS:
4562
4563
* New -D option given before the command line turns on debugging output
4564
for particular areas. -Derror shows tracebacks on all errors.
4565
(Martin Pool)
4566
4567
* Clean up ``bzr selftest --benchmark bundle`` to correct an import,
4568
and remove benchmarks that take longer than 10min to run.
4569
(John Arbash Meinel)
4570
4571
* Use ``time.time()`` instead of ``time.clock()`` to decide on
4572
progress throttling. Because ``time.clock()`` is actually CPU time,
4573
so over a high-latency connection, too many updates get throttled.
4574
(John Arbash Meinel)
4575
4576
* ``MemoryTransport.list_dir()`` would strip the first character for
4577
files or directories in root directory. (John Arbash Meinel)
4578
4579
* New method ``get_branch_reference`` on 'BzrDir' allows the detection of
4580
branch references - which the smart server component needs.
4581
4582
* New ``ChrootTransportDecorator``, accessible via the ``chroot+`` url
4583
prefix. It disallows any access to locations above a set URL. (Andrew
4584
Bennetts)
4585
4586
BUG FIXES:
4587
4588
* Now ``_KnitIndex`` properly decode revision ids when loading index data.
4589
And optimize the knit index parsing code.
4590
(Dmitry Vasiliev, John Arbash Meinel)
4591
4592
* ``bzrlib/bzrdir.py`` was directly referencing ``bzrlib.workingtree``,
4593
without importing it. This prevented ``bzr upgrade`` from working
4594
unless a plugin already imported ``bzrlib.workingtree``
4595
(John Arbash Meinel, #70716)
4596
4597
* Suppress the traceback on invalid URLs (Vincent Ladeuil, #70803).
4598
4599
* Give nicer error message when an http server returns a 403
4600
error code. (Vincent Ladeuil, #57644).
4601
4602
* When a multi-range http GET request fails, try a single
4603
range one. If it fails too, forget about ranges. Remember that until
4604
the death of the transport and propagates that to the clones.
4605
(Vincent Ladeuil, #62276, #62029).
4606
4607
* Handles user/passwords supplied in url from command
4608
line (for the urllib implementation). Don't request already
4609
known passwords (Vincent Ladeuil, #42383, #44647, #48527)
4610
4611
* ``_KnitIndex.add_versions()`` dictionary compresses revision ids as they
4612
are added. This fixes bug where fetching remote revisions records
4613
them as full references rather than integers.
4614
(John Arbash Meinel, #64789)
4615
4616
* ``bzr ignore`` strips trailing slashes in patterns.
4617
Also ``bzr ignore`` rejects absolute paths. (Kent Gibson, #4559)
4618
4619
* ``bzr ignore`` takes multiple arguments. (Cheuksan Edward Wang, #29488)
4620
4621
* mv correctly handles paths that traverse symlinks.
4622
(Aaron Bentley, #66964)
4623
4624
* Give nicer looking error messages when failing to connect over ssh.
4625
(John Arbash Meinel, #49172)
4626
4627
* Pushing to a remote branch does not currently update the remote working
4628
tree. After a remote push, ``bzr status`` and ``bzr diff`` on the remote
4629
machine now show that the working tree is out of date.
4630
(Cheuksan Edward Wang #48136)
4631
4632
* Use patiencediff instead of difflib for determining deltas to insert
4633
into knits. This avoids the O(N^3) behavior of difflib. Patience
4634
diff should be O(N^2). (Cheuksan Edward Wang, #65714)
4635
4636
* Running ``bzr log`` on nonexistent file gives an error instead of the
4637
entire log history. (Cheuksan Edward Wang #50793)
4638
4639
* ``bzr cat`` can look up contents of removed or renamed files. If the
4640
pathname is ambiguous, i.e. the files in the old and new trees have
4641
different id's, the default is the file in the new tree. The user can
4642
use "--name-from-revision" to select the file in the old tree.
4643
(Cheuksan Edward Wang, #30190)
4644
4645
TESTING:
4646
4647
* TestingHTTPRequestHandler really handles the Range header
4648
(previously it was ignoring it and returning the whole file,).

4651
--------------------
4652
4653
INTERNALS:
4654
4655
* Clean up ``bzr selftest --benchmark bundle`` to correct an import,
4656
and remove benchmarks that take longer than 10min to run.
4657
(John Arbash Meinel)
4658
4659
bzr 0.12rc1 2006-10-23
4660
-----------------------
4661
4662
IMPROVEMENTS:
4663
4664
* ``bzr log`` now shows dotted-decimal revision numbers for all revisions,
4665
rather than just showing a decimal revision number for revisions on the
4666
mainline. These revision numbers are not yet accepted as input into bzr
4667
commands such as log, diff etc. (Robert Collins)
4668
4669
* revisions can now be specified using dotted-decimal revision numbers.
4670
For instance, ``bzr diff -r 1.2.1..1.2.3``. (Robert Collins)
4671
4672
* ``bzr help commands`` output is now shorter (Aaron Bentley)
4673
4674
* ``bzr`` now uses lazy importing to reduce the startup time. This has
4675
a moderate effect on lots of actions, especially ones that have
4676
little to do. For example ``bzr rocks`` time is down to 116ms from
4677
283ms. (John Arbash Meinel)
4678
4679
* New Registry class to provide name-to-object registry-like support,
4680
for example for schemes where plugins can register new classes to
4681
do certain tasks (e.g. log formatters). Also provides lazy registration
4682
to allow modules to be loaded on request.
4683
(John Arbash Meinel, Adeodato Simó)
4684
4685
API INCOMPATABILITY:
4686
4687
* LogFormatter subclasses show now expect the 'revno' parameter to
4688
show() to be a string rather than an int. (Robert Collins)
4689
4690
INTERNALS:
4691
4692
* ``TestCase.run_bzr``, ``run_bzr_captured``, and ``run_bzr_subprocess``
4693
can take a ``working_dir='foo'`` parameter, which will change directory
4694
for the command. (John Arbash Meinel)
4695
4696
* ``bzrlib.lazy_regex.lazy_compile`` can be used to create a proxy
4697
around a regex, which defers compilation until first use.
4698
(John Arbash Meinel)
4699
4700
* ``TestCase.run_bzr_subprocess`` defaults to supplying the
4701
``--no-plugins`` parameter to ensure test reproducability, and avoid
4702
problems with system-wide installed plugins. (John Arbash Meinel)
4703
4704
* Unique tree root ids are now supported. Newly created trees still
4705
use the common root id for compatibility with bzr versions before 0.12.
4706
(Aaron Bentley)
4707
4708
* ``WorkingTree.set_root_id(None)`` is now deprecated. Please
4709
pass in ``inventory.ROOT_ID`` if you want the default root id value.
4710
(Robert Collins, John Arbash Meinel)
4711
4712
* New method ``WorkingTree.flush()`` which will write the current memory
4713
inventory out to disk. At the same time, ``read_working_inventory`` will
4714
no longer trash the current tree inventory if it has been modified within
4715
the current lock, and the tree will now ``flush()`` automatically on
4716
``unlock()``. ``WorkingTree.set_root_id()`` has been updated to take
4717
advantage of this functionality. (Robert Collins, John Arbash Meinel)
4718
4719
* ``bzrlib.tsort.merge_sorted`` now accepts ``generate_revnos``. This
4720
parameter will cause it to add another column to its output, which
4721
contains the dotted-decimal revno for each revision, as a tuple.
4722
(Robert Collins)
4723
4724
* ``LogFormatter.show_merge`` is deprecated in favour of
4725
``LogFormatter.show_merge_revno``. (Robert Collins)
4726
4727
BUG FIXES:
4728
4729
* Avoid circular imports by creating a deprecated function for
4730
``bzrlib.tree.RevisionTree``. Callers should have been using
4731
``bzrlib.revisontree.RevisionTree`` anyway. (John Arbash Meinel,
4732
#63360, #66349)
4733
4734
* Don't use ``socket.MSG_WAITALL`` as it doesn't exist on all
4735
platforms. (Martin Pool, #66356)
4736
4737
* Don't require ``Content-Type`` in range responses. Assume they are a
4738
single range if ``Content-Type`` does not exist.
4739
(John Arbash Meinel, #62473)
4740
4741
* bzr branch/pull no longer complain about progress bar cleanup when
4742
interrupted during fetch. (Aaron Bentley, #54000)
4743
4744
* ``WorkingTree.set_parent_trees()`` uses the trees to directly write
4745
the basis inventory, rather than going through the repository. This
4746
allows us to have 1 inventory read, and 2 inventory writes when
4747
committing a new tree. (John Arbash Meinel)
4748
4749
* When reverting, files that are not locally modified that do not exist
4750
in the target are deleted, not just unversioned (Aaron Bentley)
4751
4752
* When trying to acquire a lock, don't fail immediately. Instead, try
4753
a few times (up to 1 hour) before timing out. Also, report why the
4754
lock is unavailable (John Arbash Meinel, #43521, #49556)
4755
4756
* Leave HttpTransportBase daughter classes decides how they
4757
implement cloning. (Vincent Ladeuil, #61606)
4758
4759
* diff3 does not indicate conflicts on clean merge. (Aaron Bentley)
4760
4761
* If a commit fails, the commit message is stored in a file at the root of
4762
the tree for later commit. (Cheuksan Edward Wang, Stefan Metzmacher,
4763
#32054)
4764
4765
TESTING:
4766
4767
* New test base class TestCaseWithMemoryTransport offers memory-only
4768
testing facilities: its not suitable for tests that need to mutate disk
4769
state, but most tests should not need that and should be converted to
4770
TestCaseWithMemoryTransport. (Robert Collins)
4771
4772
* ``TestCase.make_branch_and_memory_tree`` now takes a format
4773
option to set the BzrDir, Repository and Branch formats of the
4774
created objects. (Robert Collins, John Arbash Meinel)
4775
4776
bzr 0.11 2006-10-02

BUG FIXES:
4785
4786
* Test suite hangs on windows fixed. (Andrew Bennets, Alexander Belchenko).
4787
4788
* Commit performance regression fixed. (Aaron Bentley, Robert Collins, John
4789

4790
4791
bzr 0.11rc1 2006-09-25
4792
-----------------------
4793
4794
IMPROVEMENTS:
4795
4796
* Knit files now wait to create their contents until the first data is
4797
added. The old code used to create an empty .knit and a .kndx with just
4798
the header. However, this caused a lot of extra round trips over sftp.
4799
This can change the time for ``bzr push`` to create a new remote branch
4800
from 160s down to 100s. This also affects ``bzr commit`` performance when
4801
adding new files, ``bzr commit`` on a new kernel-like tree drops from 50s
4802
down to 40s (John Arbash Meinel, #44692)
4803
4804
* When an entire subtree has been deleted, commit will now report that
4805
just the top of the subtree has been deleted, rather than reporting
4806
all the individual items. (Robert Collins)
4807
4808
* Commit performs one less XML parse. (Robert Collins)
4809
4810
* ``bzr checkout`` now operates on readonly branches as well
4811
as readwrite branches. This fixes bug #39542. (Robert Collins)
4812
4813
* ``bzr bind`` no longer synchronises history with the master branch.
4814
Binding should be followed by an update or push to synchronise the
4815
two branches. This is closely related to the fix for bug #39542.
4816
(Robert Collins)
4817
4818
* ``bzrlib.lazy_import.lazy_import`` function to create on-demand
4819
objects. This allows all imports to stay at the global scope, but
4820
modules will not actually be imported if they are not used.
4821
(John Arbash Meinel)
4822
4823
* Support ``bzr://`` and ``bzr+ssh://`` urls to work with the new RPC-based
4824
transport which will be used with the upcoming high-performance smart
4825
server. The new command ``bzr serve`` will invoke bzr in server mode,
4826
which processes these requests. (Andrew Bennetts, Robert Collins, Martin
4827
Pool)
4828
4829
* New command ``bzr version-info`` which can be used to get a summary
4830
of the current state of the tree. This is especially useful as part
4831
of a build commands. See ``doc/version_info.txt`` for more information
4832
(John Arbash Meinel)
4833
4834
BUG FIXES:
4835
4836
* ``'bzr inventory [FILE...]'`` allows restricting the file list to a
4837
specific set of files. (John Arbash Meinel, #3631)
4838
4839
* Don't abort when annotating empty files (John Arbash Meinel, #56814)
4840
4841
* Add ``Stanza.to_unicode()`` which can be passed to another Stanza
4842
when nesting stanzas. Also, add ``read_stanza_unicode`` to handle when
4843
reading a nested Stanza. (John Arbash Meinel)
4844
4845
* Transform._set_mode() needs to stat the right file.
4846
(John Arbash Meinel, #56549)
4847
4848
* Raise WeaveFormatError rather than StopIteration when trying to read
4849
an empty Weave file. (John Arbash Meinel, #46871)
4850
4851
* Don't access e.code for generic URLErrors, only HTTPErrors have .code.
4852
(Vincent Ladeuil, #59835)
4853
4854
* Handle boundary="" lines properly to allow access through a Squid proxy.
4855
(John Arbash Meinel, #57723)
4856
4857
* revert now removes newly-added directories (Aaron Bentley, #54172)
4858
4859
* ``bzr upgrade sftp://`` shouldn't fail to upgrade v6 branches if there
4860
isn't a working tree. (David Allouche, #40679)
4861
4862
* Give nicer error messages when a user supplies an invalid --revision
4863
parameter. (John Arbash Meinel, #55420)
4864
4865
* Handle when LANG is not recognized by python. Emit a warning, but
4866
just revert to using 'ascii'. (John Arbash Meinel, #35392)
4867
4868
* Don't use ``preexec_fn`` on win32, as it is not supported by subprocess.
4869
(John Arbash Meinel)
4870
4871
* Skip specific tests when the dependencies aren't met. This includes
4872
some ``setup.py`` tests when ``python-dev`` is not available, and
4873
some tests that depend on paramiko. (John Arbash Meinel, Mattheiu Moy)
4874
4875
* Fallback to Paramiko properly, if no ``ssh`` executable exists on
4876
the system. (Andrew Bennetts, John Arbash Meinel)
4877
4878
* ``Branch.bind(other_branch)`` no longer takes a write lock on the
4879
other branch, and will not push or pull between the two branches.
4880
API users will need to perform a push or pull or update operation if they
4881
require branch synchronisation to take place. (Robert Collins, #47344)
4882
4883
* When creating a tarball or zipfile export, export unicode names as utf-8
4884
paths. This may not work perfectly on all platforms, but has the best
4885
chance of working in the common case. (John Arbash Meinel, #56816)
4886
4887
* When committing, only files that exist in working tree or basis tree
4888
may be specified (Aaron Bentley, #50793)
4889
4890
PORTABILITY:
4891
4892
* Fixes to run on Python 2.5 (Brian M. Carlson, Martin Pool, Marien Zwart)
4893
4894
INTERNALS:
4895
4896
* TestCaseInTempDir now creates a separate directory for HOME, rather
4897
than having HOME set to the same location as the working directory.
4898
(John Arbash Meinel)
4899
4900
* ``run_bzr_subprocess()`` can take an optional ``env_changes={}`` parameter,
4901
which will update os.environ inside the spawned child. It also can
4902
take a ``universal_newlines=True``, which helps when checking the output
4903
of the command. (John Arbash Meinel)
4904
4905
* Refactor SFTP vendors to allow easier re-use when ssh is used.
4906
(Andrew Bennetts)
4907
4908
* ``Transport.list_dir()`` and ``Transport.iter_files_recursive()`` should always
4909
return urlescaped paths. This is now tested (there were bugs in a few
4910
of the transports) (Andrew Bennetts, David Allouche, John Arbash Meinel)
4911
4912
* New utility function ``symbol_versioning.deprecation_string``. Returns the
4913
formatted string for a callable, deprecation format pair. (Robert Collins)
4914
4915
* New TestCase helper applyDeprecated. This allows you to call a callable
4916
which is deprecated without it spewing to the screen, just by supplying
4917
the deprecation format string issued for it. (Robert Collins)
4918
4919
* Transport.append and Transport.put have been deprecated in favor of
4920
``.append_bytes``, ``.append_file``, ``.put_bytes``, and
4921
``.put_file``. This removes the ambiguity in what type of object the
4922
functions take. ``Transport.non_atomic_put_{bytes,file}`` has also
4923
been added. Which works similarly to ``Transport.append()`` except for
4924
SFTP, it doesn't have a round trip when opening the file. Also, it
4925
provides functionality for creating a parent directory when trying
4926
to create a file, rather than raise NoSuchFile and forcing the
4927
caller to repeat their request.
4928
(John Arbash Meinel)
4929
4930
* WorkingTree has a new api ``unversion`` which allow the unversioning of
4931
entries by their file id. (Robert Collins)
4932
4933
* ``WorkingTree.pending_merges`` is deprecated. Please use the
4934
``get_parent_ids`` (introduced in 0.10) method instead. (Robert Collins)
4935
4936
* WorkingTree has a new ``lock_tree_write`` method which locks the branch for
4937
read rather than write. This is appropriate for actions which only need
4938
the branch data for reference rather than mutation. A new decorator
4939
``needs_tree_write_lock`` is provided in the workingtree module. Like the
4940
``needs_read_lock`` and ``needs_write_lock`` decorators this allows static
4941
declaration of the locking requirements of a function to ensure that
4942
a lock is taken out for casual scripts. (Robert Collins, #54107)
4943
4944
* All WorkingTree methods which write to the tree, but not to the branch
4945
have been converted to use ``needs_tree_write_lock`` rather than
4946
``needs_write_lock``. Also converted is the revert, conflicts and tree
4947
transform modules. This provides a modest performance improvement on
4948
metadir style trees, due to the reduce lock-acquisition, and a more
4949
significant performance improvement on lightweight checkouts from
4950
remote branches, where trivial operations used to pay a significant
4951
penalty. It also provides the basis for allowing readonly checkouts.
4952
(Robert Collins)
4953
4954
* Special case importing the standard library 'copy' module. This shaves
4955
off 40ms of startup time, while retaining compatibility. See:
4956
``bzrlib/inspect_for_copy.py`` for more details. (John Arbash Meinel)
4957
4958
* WorkingTree has a new parent class MutableTree which represents the
4959
specialisations of Tree which are able to be altered. (Robert Collins)
4960
4961
* New methods mkdir and ``put_file_bytes_non_atomic`` on MutableTree that
4962
mutate the tree and its contents. (Robert Collins)
4963
4964
* Transport behaviour at the root of the URL is now defined and tested.
4965
(Andrew Bennetts, Robert Collins)
4966
4967
TESTING:
4968
4969
* New test helper classs MemoryTree. This is typically accessed via
4970
``self.make_branch_and_memory_tree()`` in test cases. (Robert Collins)
4971
4972
* Add ``start_bzr_subprocess`` and ``stop_bzr_subprocess`` to allow test
4973
code to continue running concurrently with a subprocess of bzr.
4974
(Andrew Bennetts, Robert Collins)
4975
4976
* Add a new method ``Transport.get_smart_client()``. This is provided to
4977
allow upgrades to a richer interface than the VFS one provided by
4978
Transport. (Andrew Bennetts, Martin Pool)
4979
4980
bzr 0.10 2006-08-29
4981
--------------------
4982
4983
IMPROVEMENTS:
4984
* 'merge' now takes --uncommitted, to apply uncommitted changes from a
4985
tree. (Aaron Bentley)
4986
4987
* 'bzr add --file-ids-from' can be used to specify another path to use
4988
for creating file ids, rather than generating all new ones. Internally,
4989
the 'action' passed to ``smart_add_tree()`` can return ``file_ids`` that
4990
will be used, rather than having bzrlib generate new ones.
4991
(John Arbash Meinel, #55781)
4992
4993
* ``bzr selftest --benchmark`` now allows a ``--cache-dir`` parameter.
4994
This will cache some of the intermediate trees, and decrease the
4995
setup time for benchmark tests. (John Arbash Meinel)
4996
4997
* Inverse forms are provided for all boolean options. For example,
4998
--strict has --no-strict, --no-recurse has --recurse (Aaron Bentley)
4999
5000
* Serialize out Inventories directly, rather than using ElementTree.
5001
Writing out a kernel sized inventory drops from 2s down to ~350ms.
5002
(Robert Collins, John Arbash Meinel)
5003
5004
BUG FIXES:
5005
5006
* Help diffutils 2.8.4 get along with binary tests (Marien Zwart: #57614)
5007
5008
* Change LockDir so that if the lock directory doesn't exist when
5009
``lock_write()`` is called, an attempt will be made to create it.
5010
(John Arbash Meinel, #56974)
5011
5012
* ``bzr uncommit`` preserves pending merges. (John Arbash Meinel, #57660)
5013
5014
* Active FTP transport now works as intended. (ghozzy, #56472)
5015
5016
* Really fix mutter() so that it won't ever raise a UnicodeError.
5017
It means it is possible for ~/.bzr.log to contain non UTF-8 characters.
5018
But it is a debugging log, not a real user file.
5019
(John Arbash Meinel, #56947, #53880)
5020
5021
* Change Command handle to allow Unicode command and options.
5022
At present we cannot register Unicode command names, so we will get
5023
BzrCommandError('unknown command'), or BzrCommandError('unknown option')
5024
But that is better than a UnicodeError + a traceback.
5025
(John Arbash Meinel, #57123)
5026
5027
* Handle TZ=UTC properly when reading/writing revisions.
5028
(John Arbash Meinel, #55783, #56290)
5029
5030
* Use ``GPG_TTY`` to allow gpg --cl to work with gpg-agent in a pipeline,
5031
(passing text to sign in on stdin). (John Arbash Meinel, #54468)
5032
5033
* External diff does the right thing for binaries even in foreign
5034
languages. (John Arbash Meinel, #56307)
5035
5036
* Testament handles more cases when content is unicode. Specific bug was
5037
in handling of revision properties.
5038

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

5331
* Fix failure to commit a merge in a checkout. (Martin Pool,
5332
Robert Collins, Erik Bågfors, #43959)
5333
5334
* Nicer messages from 'commit' in the case of renames, and correct
5335
messages when a merge has occured. (Robert Collins, Martin Pool)
5336
5337
* Separate functionality from assert statements as they are skipped in
5338
optimized mode of python. Add the same check to pending merges.
5339
(Olaf Conradi, #44443)
5340
5341
CHANGES:
5342
5343
* Do not show the None revision in output of bzr ancestry. (Olaf Conradi)

* Add info on standalone branches without a working tree.
5346
(Olaf Conradi, #44155)
5347
5348

5349
5350
CHANGES:
5351
5352
* Make editor invocation comply with Debian Policy. First check
5353
environment variables VISUAL and EDITOR, then try editor from
5354
alternatives system. If that all fails, fall back to the pre-defined
5355
list of editors. (Olaf Conradi, #42904)
5356
5357
NEW FEATURES:
5358
5359
* New 'register-branch' command registers a public branch into
5360
Launchpad.net, where it can be associated with bugs, etc.
5361
(Martin Pool, Bjorn Tillenius, Robert Collins)
5362
5363
INTERNALS:
5364
5365
* New public api in InventoryEntry - ``describe_change(old, new)`` which
5366
provides a human description of the changes between two old and
5367
new. (Robert Collins, Martin Pool)
5368
5369
TESTING:
5370
5371
* Fix test case for bzr info in upgrading a standalone branch to metadir,
5372
uses bzrlib api now. (Olaf Conradi)

5374
bzr 0.8 2006-05-08
5375
-------------------
5376
5377
NOTES WHEN UPGRADING:
5378
5379
Release 0.8 of bzr introduces a new format for history storage, called
5380
'knit', as an evolution of to the 'weave' format used in 0.7. Local
5381
and remote operations are faster using knits than weaves. Several
5382
operations including 'init', 'init-repo', and 'upgrade' take a
5383
--format option that controls this. Branching from an existing branch
5384
will keep the same format.
5385
5386
It is possible to merge, pull and push between branches of different
5387
formats but this is slower than moving data between homogenous
5388
branches. It is therefore recommended (but not required) that you
5389
upgrade all branches for a project at the same time. Information on
5390
formats is shown by 'bzr info'.
5391
5392
bzr 0.8 now allows creation of 'repositories', which hold the history
5393
of files and revisions for several branches. Previously bzr kept all
5394
the history for a branch within the .bzr directory at the root of the
5395
branch, and this is still the default. To create a repository, use
5396
the new 'bzr init-repo' command. Branches exist as directories under
5397
the repository and contain just a small amount of information
5398
indicating the current revision of the branch.
5399
5400
bzr 0.8 also supports 'checkouts', which are similar to in cvs and
5401
subversion. Checkouts are associated with a branch (optionally in a
5402
repository), which contains all the historical information. The
5403
result is that a checkout can be deleted without losing any
5404
already-committed revisions. A new 'update' command is also available.
5405
5406
Repositories and checkouts are not supported with the 0.7 storage
5407
format. To use them you must upgrad to either knits, or to the
5408
'metaweave' format, which uses weaves but changes the .bzr directory
5409
arrangement.
5410
5411
5412
IMPROVEMENTS:
5413
5414
* Sftp paths can now be relative, or local, according to the lftp
5415
convention. Paths now take the form::
5416
5417
sftp://user:pass@host:port/~/relative/path
5418
or
5419
sftp://user:pass@host:port/absolute/path
5420
5421
* The FTP transport now tries to reconnect after a temporary
5422
failure. ftp put is made atomic. (Matthieu Moy)
5423
5424
* The FTP transport now maintains a pool of connections, and
5425
reuses them to avoid multiple connections to the same host (like
5426
sftp did). (Daniel Silverstone)
5427
5428
* The ``bzr_man.py`` file has been removed. To create the man page now,
5429
use ``./generate_docs.py man``. The new program can also create other files.
5430
Run ``python generate_docs.py --help`` for usage information.
5431
(Hans Ulrich Niedermann & James Blackwell).
5432
5433
* Man Page now gives full help (James Blackwell).
5434
Help also updated to reflect user config now being stored in .bazaar
5435
(Hans Ulrich Niedermann)
5436
5437
* It's now possible to set aliases in bazaar.conf (Erik Bågfors)
5438
5439
* Pull now accepts a --revision argument (Erik Bågfors)
5440
5441
* ``bzr re-sign`` now allows multiple revisions to be supplied on the command
5442
line. You can now use the following command to sign all of your old
5443
commits::
5444
5445
find .bzr/revision-store// -name my@email-* \
5446
| sed 's/.*\/\/..\///' \
5447
| xargs bzr re-sign
5448
5449
* Upgrade can now upgrade over the network. (Robert Collins)
5450
5451
* Two new commands 'bzr checkout' and 'bzr update' allow for CVS/SVN-alike
5452
behaviour. By default they will cache history in the checkout, but
5453
with --lightweight almost all data is kept in the master branch.
5454
(Robert Collins)
5455
5456
* 'revert' unversions newly-versioned files, instead of deleting them.
5457
5458
* 'merge' is more robust. Conflict messages have changed.
5459
5460
* 'merge' and 'revert' no longer clobber existing files that end in '~' or
5461
'.moved'.
5462
5463
* Default log format can be set in configuration and plugins can register
5464
their own formatters. (Erik Bågfors)
5465
5466
* New 'reconcile' command will check branch consistency and repair indexes
5467
that can become out of sync in pre 0.8 formats. (Robert Collins,
5468
Daniel Silverstone)
5469
5470
* New 'bzr init --format' and 'bzr upgrade --format' option to control
5471
what storage format is created or produced. (Robert Collins,
5472
Martin Pool)
5473
5474
* Add parent location to 'bzr info', if there is one. (Olaf Conradi)
5475
5476
* New developer commands 'weave-list' and 'weave-join'. (Martin Pool)
5477
5478
* New 'init-repository' command, plus support for repositories in 'init'
5479
and 'branch' (Aaron Bentley, Erik Bågfors, Robert Collins)
5480
5481
* Improve output of 'info' command. Show all relevant locations related to
5482
working tree, branch and repository. Use kibibytes for binary quantities.
5483
Fix off-by-one error in missing revisions of working tree. Make 'info'
5484
work on branches, repositories and remote locations. Show locations
5485
relative to the shared repository, if applicable. Show locking status
5486
of locations. (Olaf Conradi)
5487
5488
* Diff and merge now safely handle binary files. (Aaron Bentley)
5489
5490
* 'pull' and 'push' now normalise the revision history, so that any two
5491
branches with the same tip revision will have the same output from 'log'.
5492
(Robert Collins)
5493
5494
* 'merge' accepts --remember option to store parent location, like 'push'
5495
and 'pull'. (Olaf Conradi)
5496
5497
* bzr status and diff when files given as arguments do not exist
5498
in the relevant trees. (Martin Pool, #3619)
5499
5500
* Add '.hg' to the default ignore list. (Martin Pool)
5501
5502
* 'knit' is now the default disk format. This improves disk performance and
5503
utilization, increases incremental pull performance, robustness with SFTP
5504
and allows checkouts over SFTP to perform acceptably.
5505
The initial Knit code was contributed by Johan Rydberg based on a
5506
specification by Martin Pool.
5507
(Robert Collins, Aaron Bentley, Johan Rydberg, Martin Pool).
5508
5509
* New tool to generate all-in-one html version of the manual. (Alexander
5510
Belchenko)
5511
5512
* Hitting CTRL-C while doing an SFTP push will no longer cause stale locks
5513
to be left in the SFTP repository. (Robert Collins, Martin Pool).
5514
5515
* New option 'diff --prefix' to control how files are named in diff
5516
output, with shortcuts '-p0' and '-p1' corresponding to the options for
5517
GNU patch. (Alexander Belchenko, Goffredo Baroncelli, Martin Pool)
5518
5519
* Add --revision option to 'annotate' command. (Olaf Conradi)
5520
5521
* If bzr shows an unexpected revision-history after pulling (perhaps due
5522
to a reweave) it can now be corrected by 'bzr reconcile'.
5523
(Robert Collins)
5524
5525
CHANGES:
5526
5527
* Commit is now verbose by default, and shows changed filenames and the
5528
new revision number. (Robert Collins, Martin Pool)
5529
5530
* Unify 'mv', 'move', 'rename'. (Matthew Fuller, #5379)
5531
5532
* 'bzr -h' shows help. (Martin Pool, Ian Bicking, #35940)
5533
5534
* Make 'pull' and 'push' remember location on failure using --remember.
5535
(Olaf Conradi)
5536
5537
* For compatibility, make old format for using weaves inside metadir
5538
available as 'metaweave' format. Rename format 'metadir' to 'default'.
5539
Clean up help for option --format in commands 'init', 'init-repo' and
5540
'upgrade'. (Olaf Conradi)
5541
5542
INTERNALS:
5543
5544
* The internal storage of history, and logical branch identity have now
5545
been split into Branch, and Repository. The common locking and file
5546
management routines are now in bzrlib.lockablefiles.
5547
(Aaron Bentley, Robert Collins, Martin Pool)
5548
5549
* Transports can now raise DependencyNotPresent if they need a library
5550
which is not installed, and then another implementation will be
5551
tried. (Martin Pool)
5552
5553
* Remove obsolete (and no-op) `decode` parameter to `Transport.get`.
5554
(Martin Pool)
5555
5556
* Using Tree Transform for merge, revert, tree-building
5557
5558
* WorkingTree.create, Branch.create, ``WorkingTree.create_standalone``,
5559
Branch.initialize are now deprecated. Please see ``BzrDir.create_*`` for
5560
replacement API's. (Robert Collins)
5561
5562
* New BzrDir class represents the .bzr control directory and manages
5563
formatting issues. (Robert Collins)
5564
5565
* New repository.InterRepository class encapsulates Repository to
5566
Repository actions and allows for clean selection of optimised code
5567
paths. (Robert Collins)
5568
5569
* ``bzrlib.fetch.fetch`` and ``bzrlib.fetch.greedy_fetch`` are now
5570
deprecated, please use ``branch.fetch`` or ``repository.fetch``
5571
depending on your needs. (Robert Collins)
5572
5573
* deprecated methods now have a ``is_deprecated`` flag on them that can
5574
be checked, if you need to determine whether a given callable is
5575
deprecated at runtime. (Robert Collins)
5576
5577
* Progress bars are now nested - see
5578
``bzrlib.ui.ui_factory.nested_progress_bar``.
5579
(Robert Collins, Robey Pointer)
5580
5581
* New API call ``get_format_description()`` for each type of format.
5582
(Olaf Conradi)
5583
5584
* Changed ``branch.set_parent()`` to accept None to remove parent.
5585
(Olaf Conradi)
5586
5587
* Deprecated BzrError AmbiguousBase. (Olaf Conradi)
5588
5589
* WorkingTree.branch is now a read only property. (Robert Collins)
5590
5591
* bzrlib.ui.text.TextUIFactory now accepts a ``bar_type`` parameter which
5592
can be None or a factory that will create a progress bar. This is
5593
useful for testing or for overriding the bzrlib.progress heuristic.
5594
(Robert Collins)
5595
5596
* New API method ``get_physical_lock_status()`` to query locks present on a
5597
transport. (Olaf Conradi)
5598
5599
* Repository.reconcile now takes a thorough keyword parameter to allow
5600
requesting an indepth reconciliation, rather than just a data-loss
5601
check. (Robert Collins)
5602
5603
* ``bzrlib.ui.ui_factory protocol`` now supports ``get_boolean`` to prompt
5604
the user for yes/no style input. (Robert Collins)
5605
5606
TESTING:
5607
5608
* SFTP tests now shortcut the SSH negotiation, reducing test overhead
5609
for testing SFTP protocol support. (Robey Pointer)
5610
5611
* Branch formats are now tested once per implementation (see ``bzrlib.
5612
tests.branch_implementations``. This is analagous to the transport
5613
interface tests, and has been followed up with working tree,
5614
repository and BzrDir tests. (Robert Collins)
5615
5616
* New test base class TestCaseWithTransport provides a transport aware
5617
test environment, useful for testing any transport-interface using
5618
code. The test suite option --transport controls the transport used
5619
by this class (when its not being used as part of implementation
5620
contract testing). (Robert Collins)
5621
5622
* Close logging handler on disabling the test log. This will remove the
5623
handler from the internal list inside python's logging module,
5624
preventing shutdown from closing it twice. (Olaf Conradi)
5625
5626
* Move test case for uncommit to blackbox tests. (Olaf Conradi)
5627
5628
* ``run_bzr`` and ``run_bzr_captured`` now accept a 'stdin="foo"'
5629
parameter which will provide String("foo") to the command as its stdin.
5630
5631
bzr 0.7 2006-01-09
5632
------------------
5633
5634
CHANGES:
5635
5636
* .bzrignore is excluded from exports, on the grounds that it's a bzr
5637
internal-use file and may not be wanted. (Jamie Wilkinson)
5638
5639
* The "bzr directories" command were removed in favor of the new
5640
--kind option to the "bzr inventory" command. To list all
5641
versioned directories, now use "bzr inventory --kind directory".
5642
(Johan Rydberg)
5643
5644
* Under Windows configuration directory is now ``%APPDATA%\bazaar\2.0``
5645
by default. (John Arbash Meinel)
5646
5647
* The parent of Bzr configuration directory can be set by ``BZR_HOME``
5648
environment variable. Now the path for it is searched in ``BZR_HOME``,
5649
then in HOME. Under Windows the order is: ``BZR_HOME``, ``APPDATA``
5650
(usually points to ``C:\Documents and Settings\User Name\Application Data``),
5651
``HOME``. (John Arbash Meinel)
5652
5653
* Plugins with the same name in different directories in the bzr plugin
5654
path are no longer loaded: only the first successfully loaded one is
5655
used. (Robert Collins)
5656
5657
* Use systems' external ssh command to open connections if possible.
5658
This gives better integration with user settings such as ProxyCommand.
5659
(James Henstridge)
5660
5661
* Permissions on files underneath .bzr/ are inherited from the .bzr
5662
directory. So for a shared repository, simply doing 'chmod -R g+w .bzr/'
5663
will mean that future file will be created with group write permissions.
5664
5665
* configure.in and config.guess are no longer in the builtin default
5666
ignore list.
5667
5668
* '.sw[nop]' pattern ignored, to ignore vim swap files for nameless
5669
files. (John Arbash Meinel, Martin Pool)
5670
5671
IMPROVEMENTS:
5672
5673
* "bzr INIT dir" now initializes the specified directory, and creates
5674
it if it does not exist. (John Arbash Meinel)
5675
5676
* New remerge command (Aaron Bentley)
5677
5678
* Better zsh completion script. (Steve Borho)
5679
5680
* 'bzr diff' now returns 1 when there are changes in the working
5681
tree. (Robert Collins)
5682
5683
* 'bzr push' now exists and can push changes to a remote location.
5684
This uses the transport infrastructure, and can store the remote
5685
location in the ~/.bazaar/branches.conf configuration file.
5686
(Robert Collins)
5687
5688
* Test directories are only kept if the test fails and the user requests
5689
that they be kept.
5690
5691
* Tweaks to short log printing
5692
5693
* Added branch nicks, new nick command, printing them in log output.
5694
(Aaron Bentley)
5695
5696
* If ``$BZR_PDB`` is set, pop into the debugger when an uncaught exception
5697
occurs. (Martin Pool)
5698
5699
* Accept 'bzr resolved' (an alias for 'bzr resolve'), as this is
5700
the same as Subversion. (Martin Pool)
5701
5702
* New ftp transport support (on ftplib), for ftp:// and aftp://
5703
URLs. (Daniel Silverstone)
5704
5705
* Commit editor temporary files now start with ``bzr_log.``, to allow
5706
text editors to match the file name and set up appropriate modes or
5707
settings. (Magnus Therning)
5708
5709
* Improved performance when integrating changes from a remote weave.
5710
(Goffredo Baroncelli)
5711
5712
* Sftp will attempt to cache the connection, so it is more likely that
5713
a connection will be reused, rather than requiring multiple password
5714
requests.
5715
5716
* bzr revno now takes an optional argument indicating the branch whose
5717
revno should be printed. (Michael Ellerman)
5718
5719
* bzr cat defaults to printing the last version of the file.
5720
(Matthieu Moy, #3632)
5721
5722
* New global option 'bzr --lsprof COMMAND' runs bzr under the lsprof
5723
profiler. (Denys Duchier)
5724
5725
* Faster commits by reading only the headers of affected weave files.
5726
(Denys Duchier)
5727
5728
* 'bzr add' now takes a --dry-run parameter which shows you what would be
5729
added, but doesn't actually add anything. (Michael Ellerman)
5730
5731
* 'bzr add' now lists how many files were ignored per glob. add --verbose
5732
lists the specific files. (Aaron Bentley)
5733
5734
* 'bzr missing' now supports displaying changes in diverged trees and can
5735
be limited to show what either end of the comparison is missing.
5736
(Aaron Bently, with a little prompting from Daniel Silverstone)
5737
5738
BUG FIXES:
5739
5740
* SFTP can walk up to the root path without index errors. (Robert Collins)
5741
5742
* Fix bugs in running bzr with 'python -O'. (Martin Pool)
5743
5744
* Error when run with -OO
5745
5746
* Fix bug in reporting http errors that don't have an http error code.
5747
(Martin Pool)
5748
5749
* Handle more cases of pipe errors in display commands
5750
5751
* Change status to 3 for all errors
5752
5753
* Files that are added and unlinked before committing are completely
5754
ignored by diff and status
5755
5756
* Stores with some compressed texts and some uncompressed texts are now
5757
able to be used. (John A Meinel)
5758
5759
* Fix for bzr pull failing sometimes under windows
5760
5761
* Fix for sftp transport under windows when using interactive auth
5762
5763
* Show files which are both renamed and modified as such in 'bzr
5764
status' output. (Daniel Silverstone, #4503)
5765
5766
* Make annotate cope better with revisions committed without a valid
5767
email address. (Marien Zwart)
5768
5769
* Fix representation of tab characters in commit messages.
5770
(Harald Meland)
5771
5772
* List of plugin directories in ``BZR_PLUGIN_PATH`` environment variable is
5773
now parsed properly under Windows. (Alexander Belchenko)
5774
5775
* Show number of revisions pushed/pulled/merged. (Robey Pointer)
5776
5777
* Keep a cached copy of the basis inventory to speed up operations
5778
that need to refer to it. (Johan Rydberg, Martin Pool)
5779
5780
* Fix bugs in bzr status display of non-ascii characters.
5781
(Martin Pool)
5782
5783
* Remove Makefile.in from default ignore list.
5784
(Tollef Fog Heen, Martin Pool, #6413)
5785
5786
* Fix failure in 'bzr added'. (Nathan McCallum, Martin Pool)
5787
5788
TESTING:
5789
5790
* Fix selftest asking for passwords when there are no SFTP keys.
5791
(Robey Pointer, Jelmer Vernooij)
5792
5793
* Fix selftest run with 'python -O'. (Martin Pool)
5794
5795
* Fix HTTP tests under Windows. (John Arbash Meinel)
5796
5797
* Make tests work even if HOME is not set (Aaron Bentley)
5798
5799
* Updated ``build_tree`` to use fixed line-endings for tests which read
5800
the file cotents and compare. Make some tests use this to pass under
5801
Windows. (John Arbash Meinel)
5802
5803
* Skip stat and symlink tests under Windows. (Alexander Belchenko)
5804
5805
* Delay in selftest/testhashcash is now issued under win32 and Cygwin.
5806
(John Arbash Meinel)
5807
5808
* Use terminal width to align verbose test output. (Martin Pool)
5809
5810
* Blackbox tests are maintained within the bzrlib.tests.blackbox directory.
5811
If adding a new test script please add that to
5812
``bzrlib.tests.blackbox.__init__``. (Robert Collins)
5813
5814
* Much better error message if one of the test suites can't be
5815
imported. (Martin Pool)
5816
5817
* Make check now runs the test suite twice - once with the default locale,
5818
and once with all locales forced to C, to expose bugs. This is not
5819
trivially done within python, so for now its only triggered by running
5820
Make check. Integrators and packagers who wish to check for full
5821
platform support should run 'make check' to test the source.
5822
(Robert Collins)
5823
5824
* Tests can now run TestSkipped if they can't execute for any reason.
5825
(Martin Pool) (NB: TestSkipped should only be raised for correctable
5826
reasons - see the wiki spec ImprovingBzrTestSuite).
5827
5828
* Test sftp with relative, absolute-in-homedir and absolute-not-in-homedir
5829
paths for the transport tests. Introduce blackbox remote sftp tests that
5830
test the same permutations. (Robert Collins, Robey Pointer)
5831
5832
* Transport implementation tests are now independent of the local file
5833
system, which allows tests for esoteric transports, and for features
5834
not available in the local file system. They also repeat for variations
5835
on the URL scheme that can introduce issues in the transport code,
5836
see bzrlib.transport.TransportTestProviderAdapter() for this.
5837
(Robert Collins).
5838
5839
* ``TestCase.build_tree`` uses the transport interface to build trees,
5840
pass in a transport parameter to give it an existing connection.
5841
(Robert Collins).
5842
5843
INTERNALS:
5844
5845
* WorkingTree.pull has been split across Branch and WorkingTree,
5846
to allow Branch only pulls. (Robert Collins)
5847
5848
* ``commands.display_command`` now returns the result of the decorated
5849
function. (Robert Collins)
5850
5851
* LocationConfig now has a ``set_user_option(key, value)`` call to save
5852
a setting in its matching location section (a new one is created
5853
if needed). (Robert Collins)
5854
5855
* Branch has two new methods, ``get_push_location`` and
5856
``set_push_location`` to respectively, get and set the push location.
5857
(Robert Collins)
5858
5859
* ``commands.register_command`` now takes an optional flag to signal that
5860
the registrant is planning to decorate an existing command. When
5861
given multiple plugins registering a command is not an error, and
5862
the original command class (whether built in or a plugin based one) is
5863
returned to the caller. There is a new error 'MustUseDecorated' for
5864
signalling when a wrapping command should switch to the original
5865
version. (Robert Collins)
5866
5867
* Some option parsing errors will raise 'BzrOptionError', allowing
5868
granular detection for decorating commands. (Robert Collins).
5869
5870
* ``Branch.read_working_inventory`` has moved to
5871
``WorkingTree.read_working_inventory``. This necessitated changes to
5872
``Branch.get_root_id``, and a move of ``Branch.set_inventory`` to
5873
WorkingTree as well. To make it clear that a WorkingTree cannot always
5874
be obtained ``Branch.working_tree()`` will raise
5875
``errors.NoWorkingTree`` if one cannot be obtained. (Robert Collins)
5876
5877
* All pending merges operations from Branch are now on WorkingTree.
5878
(Robert Collins)
5879
5880
* The follow operations from Branch have moved to WorkingTree::
5881
5882
add()
5883
commit()
5884
move()
5885
rename_one()
5886
unknowns()
5887
5888
(Robert Collins)
5889
5890
* ``bzrlib.add.smart_add_branch`` is now ``smart_add_tree``. (Robert Collins)
5891
5892
* New "rio" serialization format, similar to rfc-822. (Martin Pool)
5893
5894
* Rename selftests to ``bzrlib.tests.test_foo``. (John A Meinel, Martin
5895
Pool)
5896
5897
* ``bzrlib.plugin.all_plugins`` has been changed from an attribute to a
5898
query method. (Robert Collins)
5899
5900
* New options to read only the table-of-contents of a weave.
5901
(Denys Duchier)
5902
5903
* Raise NoSuchFile when someone tries to add a non-existant file.
5904
(Michael Ellerman)
5905
5906
* Simplify handling of DivergedBranches in ``cmd_pull()``.
5907
(Michael Ellerman)
5908
5909
* Branch.controlfile* logic has moved to lockablefiles.LockableFiles, which
5910
is exposed as ``Branch().control_files``. Also this has been altered with the
5911
controlfile pre/suffix replaced by simple method names like 'get' and
5912
'put'. (Aaron Bentley, Robert Collins).
5913
5914
* Deprecated functions and methods can now be marked as such using the
5915
``bzrlib.symbol_versioning`` module. Marked method have their docstring
5916
updated and will issue a DeprecationWarning using the warnings module
5917
when they are used. (Robert Collins)
5918
5919
* ``bzrlib.osutils.safe_unicode`` now exists to provide parameter coercion
5920
for functions that need unicode strings. (Robert Collins)
5921
5922
bzr 0.6 2005-10-28
5923
------------------
5924
5925
IMPROVEMENTS:
5926
5927
* pull now takes --verbose to show you what revisions are added or removed
5928
(John A Meinel)
5929
5930
* merge now takes a --show-base option to include the base text in
5931
conflicts.
5932
(Aaron Bentley)
5933
5934
* The config files are now read using ConfigObj, so '=' should be used as
5935
a separator, not ':'.
5936
(Aaron Bentley)
5937
5938
* New 'bzr commit --strict' option refuses to commit if there are
5939
any unknown files in the tree. To commit, make sure all files are
5940
either ignored, added, or deleted. (Michael Ellerman)
5941
5942
* The config directory is now ~/.bazaar, and there is a single file
5943
~/.bazaar/bazaar.conf storing email, editor and other preferences.
5944
(Robert Collins)
5945
5946
* 'bzr add' no longer takes a --verbose option, and a --quiet option
5947
has been added that suppresses all output.
5948
5949
* Improved zsh completion support in contrib/zsh, from Clint
5950
Adams.
5951
5952
* Builtin 'bzr annotate' command, by Martin Pool with improvements from
5953
Goffredo Baroncelli.
5954
5955
* 'bzr check' now accepts -v for verbose reporting, and checks for
5956
ghosts in the branch. (Robert Collins)
5957
5958
* New command 're-sign' which will regenerate the gpg signature for
5959
a revision. (Robert Collins)
5960
5961
* If you set ``check_signatures=require`` for a path in
5962
``~/.bazaar/branches.conf`` then bzr will invoke your
5963
``gpg_signing_command`` (defaults to gpg) and record a digital signature
5964
of your commit. (Robert Collins)
5965
5966
* New sftp transport, based on Paramiko. (Robey Pointer)
5967
5968
* 'bzr pull' now accepts '--clobber' which will discard local changes
5969
and make this branch identical to the source branch. (Robert Collins)
5970
5971
* Just give a quieter warning if a plugin can't be loaded, and
5972
put the details in .bzr.log. (Martin Pool)
5973
5974
* 'bzr branch' will now set the branch-name to the last component of the
5975
output directory, if one was supplied.
5976
5977
* If the option ``post_commit`` is set to one (or more) python function
5978
names (must be in the bzrlib namespace), then they will be invoked
5979
after the commit has completed, with the branch and ``revision_id`` as
5980
parameters. (Robert Collins)
5981
5982
* Merge now has a retcode of 1 when conflicts occur. (Robert Collins)
5983
5984
* --merge-type weave is now supported for file contents. Tree-shape
5985
changes are still three-way based. (Martin Pool, Aaron Bentley)
5986
5987
* 'bzr check' allows the first revision on revision-history to have
5988
parents - something that is expected for cheap checkouts, and occurs
5989
when conversions from baz do not have all history. (Robert Collins).
5990
5991
* 'bzr merge' can now graft unrelated trees together, if your specify
5992
0 as a base. (Aaron Bentley)
5993
5994
* 'bzr commit branch' and 'bzr commit branch/file1 branch/file2' now work
5995
(Aaron Bentley)
5996
5997
* Add '.sconsign*' to default ignore list. (Alexander Belchenko)
5998
5999
* 'bzr merge --reprocess' minimizes conflicts
6000
6001
TESTING:
6002
6003
* The 'bzr selftest --pattern' option for has been removed, now
6004
test specifiers on the command line can be simple strings, or
6005
regexps, or both. (Robert Collins)
6006
6007
* Passing -v to selftest will now show the time each test took to
6008
complete, which will aid in analysing performance regressions and
6009
related questions. (Robert Collins)
6010
6011
* 'bzr selftest' runs all tests, even if one fails, unless '--one'
6012
is given. (Martin Pool)
6013
6014
* There is a new method for TestCaseInTempDir, assertFileEqual, which
6015
will check that a given content is equal to the content of the named
6016
file. (Robert Collins)
6017
6018
* Fix test suite's habit of leaving many temporary log files in $TMPDIR.
6019
(Martin Pool)
6020
6021
INTERNALS:
6022
6023
* New 'testament' command and concept for making gpg-signatures
6024
of revisions that are not tied to a particular internal
6025
representation. (Martin Pool).
6026
6027
* Per-revision properties ('revprops') as key-value associated
6028
strings on each revision created when the revision is committed.
6029
Intended mainly for the use of external tools. (Martin Pool).
6030
6031
* Config options have moved from bzrlib.osutils to bzrlib.config.
6032
(Robert Collins)
6033
6034
* Improved command line option definitions allowing explanations
6035
for individual options, among other things. Contributed by
6036
Magnus Therning.
6037
6038
* Config options have moved from bzrlib.osutils to bzrlib.config.
6039
Configuration is now done via the config.Config interface:
6040
Depending on whether you have a Branch, a Location or no information
6041
available, construct a ``*Config``, and use its ``signature_checking``,
6042
``username`` and ``user_email`` methods. (Robert Collins)
6043
6044
* Plugins are now loaded under bzrlib.plugins, not bzrlib.plugin, and
6045
they are made available for other plugins to use. You should not
6046
import other plugins during the ``__init__`` of your plugin though, as
6047
no ordering is guaranteed, and the plugins directory is not on the
6048
python path. (Robert Collins)
6049
6050
* Branch.relpath has been moved to WorkingTree.relpath. WorkingTree no
6051
no longer takes an inventory, rather it takes an option branch
6052
parameter, and if None is given will open the branch at basedir
6053
implicitly. (Robert Collins)
6054
6055
* Cleaner exception structure and error reporting. Suggested by
6056
Scott James Remnant. (Martin Pool)
6057
6058
* Branch.remove has been moved to WorkingTree, which has also gained
6059
``lock_read``, ``lock_write`` and ``unlock`` methods for convenience.
6060
(Robert Collins)
6061
6062
* Two decorators, ``needs_read_lock`` and ``needs_write_lock`` have been
6063
added to the branch module. Use these to cause a function to run in a
6064
read or write lock respectively. (Robert Collins)
6065
6066
* ``Branch.open_containing`` now returns a tuple (Branch, relative-path),
6067
which allows direct access to the common case of 'get me this file
6068
from its branch'. (Robert Collins)
6069
6070
* Transports can register using ``register_lazy_transport``, and they
6071
will be loaded when first used. (Martin Pool)
6072
6073
* 'pull' has been factored out of the command as ``WorkingTree.pull()``.
6074
A new option to WorkingTree.pull has been added, clobber, which will
6075
ignore diverged history and pull anyway.
6076
(Robert Collins)
6077
6078
* config.Config has a ``get_user_option`` call that accepts an option name.
6079
This will be looked up in branches.conf and bazaar.conf as normal.
6080
It is intended that this be used by plugins to support options -
6081
options of built in programs should have specific methods on the config.
6082
(Robert Collins)
6083
6084
* ``merge.merge_inner`` now has tempdir as an optional parameter.
6085
(Robert Collins)
6086
6087
* Tree.kind is not recorded at the top level of the hierarchy, as it was
6088
missing on EmptyTree, leading to a bug with merge on EmptyTrees.
6089
(Robert Collins)
6090
6091
* ``WorkingTree.__del__`` has been removed, it was non deterministic and not
6092
doing what it was intended to. See ``WorkingTree.__init__`` for a comment
6093
about future directions. (Robert Collins/Martin Pool)
6094
6095
* bzrlib.transport.http has been modified so that only 404 urllib errors
6096
are returned as NoSuchFile. Other exceptions will propogate as normal.
6097
This allows debuging of actual errors. (Robert Collins)
6098
6099
* bzrlib.transport.Transport now accepts *ONLY* url escaped relative paths
6100
to apis like 'put', 'get' and 'has'. This is to provide consistent
6101
behaviour - it operates on url's only. (Robert Collins)
6102
6103
* Transports can register using ``register_lazy_transport``, and they
6104
will be loaded when first used. (Martin Pool)
6105
6106
* ``merge_flex`` no longer calls ``conflict_handler.finalize()``, instead that
6107
is called by ``merge_inner``. This is so that the conflict count can be
6108
retrieved (and potentially manipulated) before returning to the caller
6109
of ``merge_inner``. Likewise 'merge' now returns the conflict count to the
6110
caller. (Robert Collins)
6111
6112
* ``revision.revision_graph`` can handle having only partial history for
6113
a revision - that is no revisions in the graph with no parents.
6114
(Robert Collins).
6115
6116
* New ``builtins.branch_files`` uses the standard ``file_list`` rules to
6117
produce a branch and a list of paths, relative to that branch
6118
(Aaron Bentley)
6119
6120
* New TestCase.addCleanup facility.
6121
6122
* New ``bzrlib.version_info`` tuple (similar to ``sys.version_info``),
6123
which can be used by programs importing bzrlib.
6124
6125
BUG FIXES:
6126
6127
* Better handling of branches in directories with non-ascii names.
6128
(Joel Rosdahl, Panagiotis Papadakos)
6129
6130
* Upgrades of trees with no commits will not fail due to accessing
6131
[-1] in the revision-history. (Andres Salomon)
6132
6133
6134
bzr 0.1.1 2005-10-12
6135
--------------------
6136
6137
BUG FIXES:
6138
6139
* Fix problem in pulling over http from machines that do not
6140
allow directories to be listed.
6141
6142
* Avoid harmless warning about invalid hash cache after
6143
upgrading branch format.
6144
6145
PERFORMANCE:
6146
6147
* Avoid some unnecessary http operations in branch and pull.
6148
6149
6150
bzr 0.1 2005-10-11
6151
------------------
6152
6153
NOTES:
6154
6155
* 'bzr branch' over http initially gives a very high estimate
6156
of completion time but it should fall as the first few
6157
revisions are pulled in. branch is still slow on
6158
high-latency connections.
6159
6160
BUG FIXES:
6161
6162
* bzr-man.py has been updated to work again. Contributed by
6163
Rob Weir.
6164
6165
* Locking is now done with fcntl.lockf which works with NFS
6166
file systems. Contributed by Harald Meland.
6167
6168
* When a merge encounters a file that has been deleted on
6169
one side and modified on the other, the old contents are
6170
written out to foo.BASE and foo.SIDE, where SIDE is this
6171
or OTHER. Contributed by Aaron Bentley.
6172
6173
* Export was choosing incorrect file paths for the content of
6174
the tarball, this has been fixed by Aaron Bentley.
6175
6176
* Commit will no longer commit without a log message, an
6177
error is returned instead. Contributed by Jelmer Vernooij.
6178
6179
* If you commit a specific file in a sub directory, any of its
6180
parent directories that are added but not listed will be
6181
automatically included. Suggested by Michael Ellerman.
6182
6183
* bzr commit and upgrade did not correctly record new revisions
6184
for files with only a change to their executable status.
6185
bzr will correct this when it encounters it. Fixed by
6186
Robert Collins
6187
6188
* HTTP tests now force off the use of ``http_proxy`` for the duration.
6189
Contributed by Gustavo Niemeyer.
6190
6191
* Fix problems in merging weave-based branches that have
6192
different partial views of history.
6193
6194
* Symlink support: working with symlinks when not in the root of a
6195
bzr tree was broken, patch from Scott James Remnant.
6196
6197
IMPROVEMENTS:
6198
6199
* 'branch' now accepts a --basis parameter which will take advantage
6200
of local history when making a new branch. This allows faster
6201
branching of remote branches. Contributed by Aaron Bentley.
6202
6203
* New tree format based on weave files, called version 5.
6204
Existing branches can be upgraded to this format using
6205
'bzr upgrade'.
6206
6207
* Symlinks are now versionable. Initial patch by
6208
Erik Toubro Nielsen, updated to head by Robert Collins.
6209
6210
* Executable bits are tracked on files. Patch from Gustavo
6211
Niemeyer.
6212
6213
* 'bzr status' now shows unknown files inside a selected directory.
6214
Patch from Heikki Paajanen.
6215
6216
* Merge conflicts are recorded in .bzr. Two new commands 'conflicts'
6217
and 'resolve' have needed added, which list and remove those
6218
merge conflicts respectively. A conflicted tree cannot be committed
6219
in. Contributed by Aaron Bentley.
6220
6221
* 'rm' is now an alias for 'remove'.
6222
6223
* Stores now split out their content in a single byte prefixed hash,
6224
dropping the density of files per directory by 256. Contributed by
6225
Gustavo Niemeyer.
6226
6227
* 'bzr diff -r branch:URL' will now perform a diff between two branches.
6228
Contributed by Robert Collins.
6229
6230
* 'bzr log' with the default formatter will show merged revisions,
6231
indented to the right. Initial implementation contributed by Gustavo
6232
Niemeyer, made incremental by Robert Collins.
6233
6234
6235
INTERNALS:
6236
6237
* Test case failures have the exception printed after the log
6238
for your viewing pleasure.
6239
6240
* InventoryEntry is now an abstract base class, use one of the
6241
concrete InventoryDirectory etc classes instead.
6242
6243
* Branch raises an UnsupportedFormatError when it detects a
6244
bzr branch it cannot understand. This allows for precise
6245
handling of such circumstances.
6246
6247
* Remove RevisionReference class; ``Revision.parent_ids`` is now simply a
6248
list of their ids and ``parent_sha1s`` is a list of their corresponding
6249
sha1s (for old branches only at the moment.)
6250
6251
* New method-object style interface for Commit() and Fetch().
6252
6253
* Renamed ``Branch.last_patch()`` to ``Branch.last_revision()``, since
6254
we call them revisions not patches.
6255
6256
* Move ``copy_branch`` to ``bzrlib.clone.copy_branch``. The destination
6257
directory is created if it doesn't exist.
6258
6259
* Inventories now identify the files which were present by
6260
giving the revision *of that file*.
6261
6262
* Inventory and Revision XML contains a version identifier.
6263
This must be consistent with the overall branch version
6264
but allows for more flexibility in future upgrades.
6265
6266
TESTING:
6267
6268
* Removed testsweet module so that tests can be run after
6269
bzr installed by 'bzr selftest'.
6270
6271
* 'bzr selftest' command-line arguments can now be partial ids
6272
of tests to run, e.g. ``bzr selftest test_weave``
6273
6274
6275
bzr 0.0.9 2005-09-23
6276
--------------------
6277
6278
BUG FIXES:
6279
6280
* Fixed "branch -r" option.
6281
6282
* Fix remote access to branches containing non-compressed history.
6283
(Robert Collins).
6284
6285
* Better reliability of http server tests. (John Arbash-Meinel)
6286
6287
* Merge graph maximum distance calculation fix. (Aaron Bentley)
6288
6289
* Various minor bug in windows support have been fixed, largely in the
6290
test suite. Contributed by Alexander Belchenko.
6291
6292
IMPROVEMENTS:
6293
6294
* Status now accepts a -r argument to give status between chosen
6295
revisions. Contributed by Heikki Paajanen.
6296
6297
* Revision arguments no longer use +/-/= to control ranges, instead
6298
there is a 'before' namespace, which limits the successive namespace.
6299
For example '$ bzr log -r date:yesterday..before:date:today' will
6300
select everything from yesterday and before today. Contributed by
6301
Robey Pointer
6302
6303
* There is now a bzr.bat file created by distutils when building on
6304
Windows. Contributed by Alexander Belchenko.
6305
6306
INTERNALS:
6307
6308
* Removed uuid() as it was unused.
6309
6310
* Improved 'fetch' code for pulling revisions from one branch into
6311
another (used by pull, merged, etc.)
6312
6313
6314
bzr 0.0.8 2005-09-20
6315
--------------------
6316
6317
IMPROVEMENTS:
6318
6319
* Adding a file whose parent directory is not versioned will
6320
implicitly add the parent, and so on up to the root. This means
6321
you should never need to explictly add a directory, they'll just
6322
get added when you add a file in the directory. Contributed by
6323
Michael Ellerman.
6324
6325
* Ignore ``.DS_Store`` (contains Mac metadata) by default.
6326
(Nir Soffer)
6327
6328
* If you set ``BZR_EDITOR`` in the environment, it is checked in
6329
preference to EDITOR and the config file for the interactive commit
6330
editing program. Related to this is a bugfix where a missing program
6331
set in EDITOR would cause editing to fail, now the fallback program
6332
for the operating system is still tried.
6333
6334
* Files that are not directories/symlinks/regular files will no longer
6335
cause bzr to fail, it will just ignore them by default. You cannot add
6336
them to the tree though - they are not versionable.
6337
6338
6339
INTERNALS:
6340
6341
* Refactor xml packing/unpacking.
6342
6343
BUG FIXES:
6344
6345
* Fixed 'bzr mv' by Ollie Rutherfurd.
6346
6347
* Fixed strange error when trying to access a nonexistent http
6348
branch.
6349
6350
* Make sure that the hashcache gets written out if it can't be
6351
read.
6352
6353
6354
PORTABILITY:
6355
6356
* Various Windows fixes from Ollie Rutherfurd.
6357
6358
* Quieten warnings about locking; patch from Matt Lavin.
6359
6360
6361
bzr-0.0.7 2005-09-02
6362
--------------------
6363
6364
NEW FEATURES:
6365
6366
* ``bzr shell-complete`` command contributed by Clint Adams to
6367
help with intelligent shell completion.
6368
6369
* New expert command ``bzr find-merge-base`` for debugging merges.
6370
6371
6372
ENHANCEMENTS:
6373
6374
* Much better merge support.
6375
6376
* merge3 conflicts are now reported with markers like '<<<<<<<'
6377
(seven characters) which is the same as CVS and pleases things
6378
like emacs smerge.
6379
6380
6381
BUG FIXES:
6382
6383
* ``bzr upgrade`` no longer fails when trying to fix trees that
6384
mention revisions that are not present.
6385
6386
* Fixed bugs in listing plugins from ``bzr plugins``.
6387
6388
* Fix case of $EDITOR containing options for the editor.
6389
6390
* Fix log -r refusing to show the last revision.
6391
(Patch from Goffredo Baroncelli.)
6392
6393
6394
CHANGES:
6395
6396
* ``bzr log --show-ids`` shows the revision ids of all parents.
6397
6398
* Externally provided commands on your $BZRPATH no longer need
6399
to recognize --bzr-usage to work properly, and can just handle
6400
--help themselves.
6401
6402
6403
LIBRARY:
6404
6405
* Changed trace messages to go through the standard logging
6406
framework, so that they can more easily be redirected by
6407
libraries.
6408
6409
6410
6411
bzr-0.0.6 2005-08-18
6412
--------------------
6413
6414
NEW FEATURES:
6415
6416
* Python plugins, automatically loaded from the directories on
6417
``BZR_PLUGIN_PATH`` or ``~/.bzr.conf/plugins`` by default.
6418
6419
* New 'bzr mkdir' command.
6420
6421
* Commit mesage is fetched from an editor if not given on the
6422
command line; patch from Torsten Marek.
6423
6424
* ``bzr log -m FOO`` displays commits whose message matches regexp
6425
FOO.
6426
6427
* ``bzr add`` with no arguments adds everything under the current directory.
6428
6429
* ``bzr mv`` does move or rename depending on its arguments, like
6430
the Unix command.
6431
6432
* ``bzr missing`` command shows a summary of the differences
6433
between two trees. (Merged from John Arbash-Meinel.)
6434
6435
* An email address for commits to a particular tree can be
6436
specified by putting it into .bzr/email within a branch. (Based
6437
on a patch from Heikki Paajanen.)
6438
6439
6440
ENHANCEMENTS:
6441
6442
* Faster working tree operations.
6443
6444
6445
CHANGES:
6446
6447
* 3rd-party modules shipped with bzr are copied within the bzrlib
6448
python package, so that they can be installed by the setup
6449
script without clashing with anything already existing on the
6450
system. (Contributed by Gustavo Niemeyer.)
6451
6452
* Moved plugins directory to bzrlib/, so that there's a standard
6453
plugin directory which is not only installed with bzr itself but
6454
is also available when using bzr from the development tree.
6455
``BZR_PLUGIN_PATH`` and ``DEFAULT_PLUGIN_PATH`` are then added to the
6456
standard plugins directory.
6457
6458
* When exporting to a tarball with ``bzr export --format tgz``, put
6459
everything under a top directory rather than dumping it into the
6460
current directory. This can be overridden with the ``--root``
6461
option. Patch from William Dodé and John Meinel.
6462
6463
* New ``bzr upgrade`` command to upgrade the format of a branch,
6464
replacing ``bzr check --update``.
6465
6466
* Files within store directories are no longer marked readonly on
6467
disk.
6468
6469
* Changed ``bzr log`` output to a more compact form suggested by
6470
John A Meinel. Old format is available with the ``--long`` or
6471
``-l`` option, patched by William Dodé.
6472
6473
* By default the commit command refuses to record a revision with
6474
no changes unless the ``--unchanged`` option is given.
6475
6476
* The ``--no-plugins``, ``--profile`` and ``--builtin`` command
6477
line options must come before the command name because they
6478
affect what commands are available; all other options must come
6479
after the command name because their interpretation depends on
6480
it.
6481
6482
* ``branch`` and ``clone`` added as aliases for ``branch``.
6483
6484
* Default log format is back to the long format; the compact one
6485
is available with ``--short``.
6486
6487
6488
BUG FIXES:
6489
6490
* Fix bugs in committing only selected files or within a subdirectory.

bzr-0.0.5 2005-06-15
6494
---------------------
6495
6496
CHANGES:
6497
6498
* ``bzr`` with no command now shows help rather than giving an
6499
error. Suggested by Michael Ellerman.
6500
6501
* ``bzr status`` output format changed, because svn-style output
6502
doesn't really match the model of bzr. Now files are grouped by
6503
status and can be shown with their IDs. ``bzr status --all``
6504
shows all versioned files and unknown files but not ignored files.
6505
6506
* ``bzr log`` runs from most-recent to least-recent, the reverse
6507
of the previous order. The previous behaviour can be obtained
6508
with the ``--forward`` option.
6509
6510
* ``bzr inventory`` by default shows only filenames, and also ids
6511
if ``--show-ids`` is given, in which case the id is the second
6512
field.
6513
6514
6515
ENHANCEMENTS:
6516
6517
* New 'bzr whoami --email' option shows only the email component
6518
of the user identification, from Jo Vermeulen.
6519
6520
* New ``bzr ignore PATTERN`` command.
6521
6522
* Nicer error message for broken pipe, interrupt and similar
6523
conditions that don't indicate an internal error.
6524
6525
* Add ``.*.sw[nop] .git .*.tmp *,v`` to default ignore patterns.
6526
6527
* Per-branch locks keyed on ``.bzr/branch-lock``, available in
6528
either read or write mode.
6529
6530
* New option ``bzr log --show-ids`` shows revision and file ids.
6531
6532
* New usage ``bzr log FILENAME`` shows only revisions that
6533
affected that file.
6534
6535
* Changed format for describing changes in ``bzr log -v``.
6536
6537
* New option ``bzr commit --file`` to take a message from a file,
6538
suggested by LarstiQ.
6539
6540
* New syntax ``bzr status [FILE...]`` contributed by Bartosz
6541
Oler. File may be in a branch other than the working directory.
6542
6543
* ``bzr log`` and ``bzr root`` can be given an http URL instead of
6544
a filename.
6545
6546
* Commands can now be defined by external programs or scripts
6547
in a directory on $BZRPATH.
6548
6549
* New "stat cache" avoids reading the contents of files if they
6550
haven't changed since the previous time.
6551
6552
* If the Python interpreter is too old, try to find a better one
6553
or give an error. Based on a patch from Fredrik Lundh.
6554
6555
* New optional parameter ``bzr info [BRANCH]``.
6556
6557
* New form ``bzr commit SELECTED`` to commit only selected files.
6558
6559
* New form ``bzr log -r FROM:TO`` shows changes in selected
6560
range; contributed by John A Meinel.
6561
6562
* New option ``bzr diff --diff-options 'OPTS'`` allows passing
6563
options through to an external GNU diff.
6564
6565
* New option ``bzr add --no-recurse`` to add a directory but not
6566
their contents.
6567
6568
* ``bzr --version`` now shows more information if bzr is being run
6569
from a branch.
6570
6571
6572
BUG FIXES:
6573
6574
* Fixed diff format so that added and removed files will be
6575
handled properly by patch. Fix from Lalo Martins.
6576
6577
* Various fixes for files whose names contain spaces or other
6578
metacharacters.
6579
6580
6581
TESTING:
6582
6583
* Converted black-box test suites from Bourne shell into Python;
6584
now run using ``./testbzr``. Various structural improvements to
6585
the tests.
6586
6587
* testbzr by default runs the version of bzr found in the same
6588
directory as the tests, or the one given as the first parameter.
6589
6590
* testbzr also runs the internal tests, so the only command
6591
required to check is just ``./testbzr``.
6592
6593
* testbzr requires python2.4, but can be used to test bzr running
6594
under a different version.
6595
6596
* Tests added for many other changes in this release.
6597
6598
6599
INTERNAL:
6600
6601
* Included ElementTree library upgraded to 1.2.6 by Fredrik Lundh.
6602
6603
* Refactor command functions into Command objects based on HCT by
6604
Scott James Remnant.
6605
6606
* Better help messages for many commands.
6607
6608
* Expose ``bzrlib.open_tracefile()`` to start the tracefile; until
6609
this is called trace messages are just discarded.
6610
6611
* New internal function ``find_touching_revisions()`` and hidden
6612
command touching-revisions trace the changes to a given file.
6613
6614
* Simpler and faster ``compare_inventories()`` function.
6615
6616
* ``bzrlib.open_tracefile()`` takes a tracefilename parameter.
6617
6618
* New AtomicFile class.
6619
6620
* New developer commands ``added``, ``modified``.
6621
6622
6623
PORTABILITY:
6624
6625
* Cope on Windows on python2.3 by using the weaker random seed.
6626
2.4 is now only recommended.

6629
bzr-0.0.4 2005-04-22
6630
---------------------
6631
6632
ENHANCEMENTS:
6633
6634
* 'bzr diff' optionally takes a list of files to diff. Still a bit
6635
basic. Patch from QuantumG.
6636
6637
* More default ignore patterns.
6638
6639
* New 'bzr log --verbose' shows a list of files changed in the
6640
changeset. Patch from Sebastian Cote.
6641
6642
* Roll over ~/.bzr.log if it gets too large.
6643
6644
* Command abbreviations 'ci', 'st', 'stat', '?' based on a patch
6645
by Jason Diamon.
6646
6647
* New 'bzr help commands' based on a patch from Denys Duchier.
6648
6649
6650
CHANGES:
6651
6652
* User email is determined by looking at $BZREMAIL or ~/.bzr.email
6653
or $EMAIL. All are decoded by the locale preferred encoding.
6654
If none of these are present user@hostname is used. The host's
6655
fully-qualified name is not used because that tends to fail when
6656
there are DNS problems.
6657
6658
* New 'bzr whoami' command instead of username user-email.
6659
6660
6661
BUG FIXES:
6662
6663
* Make commit safe for hardlinked bzr trees.
6664
6665
* Some Unicode/locale fixes.
6666
6667
* Partial workaround for ``difflib.unified_diff`` not handling
6668
trailing newlines properly.
6669
6670
6671
INTERNAL:
6672
6673
* Allow docstrings for help to be in PEP0257 format. Patch from
6674
Matt Brubeck.
6675
6676
* More tests in test.sh.
6677
6678
* Write profile data to a temporary file not into working
6679
directory and delete it when done.
6680
6681
* Smaller .bzr.log with process ids.
6682
6683
6684
PORTABILITY:
6685
6686
* Fix opening of ~/.bzr.log on Windows. Patch from Andrew
6687
Bennetts.
6688
6689
* Some improvements in handling paths on Windows, based on a patch
6690
from QuantumG.

6699
in the tree.
6700

6703
* New "rename" command to rename one file to a different name
6704
and/or directory.
6705
6706
* New "move" command to move one or more files into a different
6707
directory.
6708
6709
* New "renames" command lists files renamed since base revision.
6710
6711
* New cat command contributed by janmar.
6712
6713
CHANGES:
6714
6715
* .bzr.log is placed in $HOME (not pwd) and is always written in
6716
UTF-8. (Probably not a completely good long-term solution, but
6717
will do for now.)
6718
6719
PORTABILITY:
6720
6721
* Workaround for difflib bug in Python 2.3 that causes an
6722
exception when comparing empty files. Reported by Erik Toubro
6723
Nielsen.
6724
6725
INTERNAL:
6726
6727
* Refactored inventory storage to insert a root entry at the top.

6744
6745
ENHANCEMENTS:
6746
6747
* Default ignore list extended (see bzrlib/__init__.py).
6748
6749
* Patterns in .bzrignore are now added to the default ignore list,
6750
rather than replacing it.
6751
6752
* Ignore list isn't reread for every file.
6753
6754
* More help topics.
6755
6756
* Reinstate the 'bzr check' command to check invariants of the
6757
branch.
6758
6759
* New 'ignored' command lists which files are ignored and why;
6760
'deleted' lists files deleted in the current working tree.
6761
6762
* Performance improvements.
6763
6764
* New global --profile option.
6765
6766
* Ignore patterns like './config.h' now correctly match files in
6767
the root directory only.

6791
installation easier.
6792
6793

6794
supported).
