IN DEVELOPMENT

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

10
CHANGES:
11
12
* ``bzr export`` can now export a subdirectory of a project.
13
(Robert Collins)
14
15
* ``bzr rm`` will now scan for files that are missing and remove just
16
them automatically, much as ``bzr add`` scans for new files that
17
are not ignored and adds them automatically. (Robert Collins)
18
19
FEATURES
20
21
* Support for GSSAPI authentication when using FTP as documented in
22
RFC2228. (Jelmer Vernooij, #49623)
23
24
IMPROVEMENTS:
25
26
* ``bzr branch`` and ``bzr push`` use the default stacking policy if the
27
branch format supports it. (Aaron Bentley)
28
29
* ``bzr init`` and ``bzr init-repo`` will now print out the same as
30
``bzr info`` if it completed successfully.
31
(Marius Kruger)
32
33
* ``bzr uncommit`` logs the old tip revision id, and displays how to
34
restore the branch to that tip using ``bzr pull``. This allows you
35
to recover if you realize you uncommitted the wrong thing.
36
(John Arbash Meinel)
37
38
* When reading index files, if we happen to read the whole file in a
39
single request treat it as a ``_buffer_all`` request. This happens
40
most often on small indexes over remote transports, where we default
41
to reading 64kB. It saves a round trip for each small index during
42
fetch operations. Also, if we have read more than 50% of an index
43
file, trigger a ``_buffer_all`` on the next request. This works
44
around some inefficiencies because reads don't fall neatly on page
45
boundaries, so we would ignore those bytes, but request them again
46
later. This could trigger a total read size of more than the whole
47
file. (John Arbash Meinel)
48
49
BUG FIXES:
50
51
* ``bzr rm`` is now aliased to ``bzr del`` for the convenience of svn
52
users. (Robert Collins, #205416)
53
54
* Catch the infamous "select/poll returned error" which occurs when
55
pycurl try to send a body request to an HTTP/1.0 server which has
56
already refused to handle the request. (Vincent Ladeuil, #225020)
57
58
* ``FTPTransport.stat()`` would return ``0000`` as the permission bits
59
for the containing ``.bzr/`` directory (it does not implement
60
permissions). This would cause us to set all subdirectories to
61
``0700`` and files to ``0600`` rather than leaving them unmodified.
62
Now we ignore ``0000`` as the permissions and assume they are
63
invalid. (John Arbash Meinel, #259855)
64
65
* Merging from a previously joined branch will no longer cause
66
a traceback. (Jelmer Vernooij, #203376)
67
68
* Pack operations on windows network shares will work even with large
69
files. (Robert Collins, #255656)
70
71
* Running ``bzr st PATH_TO_TREE`` will no longer suppress merge
72
status. Status is also about 7% faster on mozilla sized trees
73
when the path to the root of the tree has been given. Users of
74
the internal ``show_tree_status`` function should be aware that
75
the show_pending flag is now authoritative for showing pending
76
merges, as it was originally. (Robert Collins, #225204)
77
78
* Set valid default _param_name for Option so that ListOption can embed
79
'-' in names. (Vincent Ladeuil, #263249)
80
81
* Show proper error rather than traceback when an unknown revision
82
id is specified to ``bzr cat-revision``. (Jelmer Vernooij, #175569)
83
84
* Trailing text in the dirstate file could cause the C dirstate parser
85
to try to allocate an invalid amount of memory. We now properly
86
check and test for parsing a dirstate with invalid trailing data.
87
(John Arbash Meinel, #186014)
88
89
* ``WorkingTree4`` trees will now correctly report missing-and-new
90
paths in the output of ``iter_changes``. (Robert Collins)
91
92
API CHANGES:
93
94
* Exporters now take 4 parameters. (Robert Collins)
95
96
* ``Tree.iter_changes`` will now return False for the content change
97
field when a file is missing in the basis tree and not present in
98
the target tree. Previously it returned True unconditionally.
99
(Robert Collins)
100
101
* The deprecated ``Branch.abspath`` and unimplemented
102
``Branch.rename_one`` and ``Branch.move`` were removed. (Jelmer Vernooij)
103
104
* BzrDir.clone_on_transport implementations must now accept a stacked_on
105
parameter. (Aaron Bentley)
106
107
* BzrDir.cloning_metadir implementations must now take a require_stacking
108
parameter. (Aaron Bentley)
109
110
TESTING:
111
112
* ``addCleanup`` now takes ``*arguments`` and ``**keyword_arguments``
113
which are then passed to the cleanup callable as it is run. In
114
addition, addCleanup no longer requires that the callables passed to
115
it be unique. (Jonathan Lange)
116
117
* ``selftest``'s ``--starting-with`` option can now use predefined
118
prefixes so that one can say ``bzr selftest -s bp.loom`` instead of
119
``bzr selftest -s bzrlib.plugins.loom``. (Vincent Ladeuil)
120
121
* ``selftest``'s ``--starting-with`` option now accepts multiple values.
122
(Vincent Ladeuil)
123
124
INTERNALS:
125
126
* A new plugin interface, ``bzrlib.log.log_adapters``, has been added.
127
This allows dynamic log output filtering by plugins.
128
(Robert Collins)
129
130
* ``bzrlib.btree_index`` is now available, providing a b-tree index
131
layer. The design is memory conservative (limited memory cache),
132
faster to seek (approx 100 nodes per page, gives 100-way fan out),
133
and stores compressed pages allowing more keys per page.
134
(Robert Collins, John Arbash Meinel)
135
136
* ``bzrlib.diff.DiffTree.show_diff`` now skips changes where the kind
137
is unknown in both source and target.
138
(Robert Collins, Aaron Bentley)
139
140
* Mail clients for `bzr send` are now listed in a registry. This
141
allows plugins to add new clients by registering them with
142
``bzrlib.mail_client.mail_client_registry``. All of the built-in
143
clients now use this mechanism. (Neil Martinsen-Burrell)
144
145
146
bzr 1.6.1rc1 2008-08-29
147
-----------------------
148
149
This release fixes a few regressions found in the 1.6 client. Fetching
150
changes was using an O(N^2) buffering algorithm, so for large projects it
151
would cause memory thrashing. There is also a specific problem with the
152
``--1.6-rich-root`` format, which prevented stacking on top of
153
``--rich-root-pack`` repositories, and could allow users to accidentally
154
fetch experimental data (``-subtree``) without representing it properly.
155
The ``--1.6-rich-root`` format has been deprecated and users are
156
recommended to upgrade to ``--1.6.1-rich-root`` immediately. Also we
157
re-introduced a workaround for users who have repositories with incorrect
158
nodes (not possible if you only used official releases).
159
I should also clarify that none of this is data loss level issues, but
160
still sufficient enough to warrant an updated release.
161
162
BUG FIXES:
163
164
* ``RemoteTransport.readv()`` was being inefficient about how it
165
buffered the readv data and processed it. It would keep appending to
166
the same string (causing many copies) and then pop bytes out of the
167
start of the string (causing more copies).
168
With this patch "bzr+ssh://local" can improve dramatically,
169
especially for projects with large files.
170
(John Arbash Meinel)
171
172
* Revision texts were always meant to be stored as fulltexts. There
173
was a bug in a bzr.dev version that would accidentally create deltas
174
when copying from a Pack repo to a Knit repo. This has been fixed,
175
but to support those repositories, we know always request full texts
176
for Revision texts. (John Arbash Meinel, #261339)
177
178
* The previous ``--1.6-rich-root`` format used an incorrect xml
179
serializer, which would accidentally support fetching from a
180
repository that supported subtrees, even though the local one would
181
not. We deprecated that format, and introduced a new one that uses
182
the correct serializer ``--1.6.1-rich-root``.
183
(John Arbash Meinel, #262333)
184
185
186
bzr 1.6 2008-08-25
187
------------------
188
189
Finally, the long awaited bzr 1.6 has been released. This release includes
190
new features like Stacked Branches, improved weave merge, and an updated
191
server protocol (now on v3) which will allow for better cross version
192
compatibility. With this release we have deprecated Knit format
193
repositories, and recommend that users upgrade them, we will continue to
194
support reading and writing them for the forseeable future, but we will
195
not be tuning them for performance as pack repositories have proven to be
196
better at scaling. This will also be the first release to bundle
197
TortoiseBzr in the standalone Windows installer.
198
199
200
bzr 1.6rc5 2008-08-19
201
---------------------
202
203
BUG FIXES:
204
205
* Disable automatic detection of stacking based on a containing
206
directory of the target. It interacted badly with push, and needs a
207
bit more work to get the edges polished before it should happen
208
automatically. (John Arbash Meinel, #259275)
209
(This change was reverted when merged to bzr.dev)
210
211
212
bzr 1.6rc4 2008-08-18
213
---------------------
214
215
BUG FIXES:
216
217
* Fix a regression in knit => pack fetching. We had a logic
218
inversion, causing the fetch to insert fulltexts in random order,
219
rather than preserving deltas. (John Arbash Meinel, #256757)
220
221
222
bzr 1.6rc3 2008-08-14
223
---------------------
224
225
CHANGES:
226
227
* Disable reading ``.bzrrules`` as a per-branch rule preferences
228
file. The feature was not quite ready for a full release.
229
(Robert Collins)
230
231
IMPROVEMENTS:
232
233
* Update the windows installer to bundle TortoiseBzr and ``qbzr``
234
into the standalone installer. This will be the first official
235
windows release that installs Tortoise by default.
236
(Mark Hammond)
237
238
BUG FIXES:
239
240
* Fix a regression in ``bzr+http`` support. There was a missing
241
function (``_read_line``) that needed to be carried over from
242
``bzr+ssh`` support. (Andrew Bennetts)
243
244
* ``GraphIndex`` objects will internally read an entire index if more
245
than 1/20th of their keyspace is requested in a single operation.
246
This largely mitigates a performance regression in ``bzr log FILE``
247
and completely corrects the performance regression in ``bzr log``.
248
The regression was caused by removing an accomodation which had been
249
supporting the index format in use. A newer index format is in
250
development which is substantially faster. (Robert Collins)
251
252
253
bzr 1.6rc2 2008-08-13
254
---------------------
255
256
This release candidate has a few minor bug fixes, and some regression
257
fixes for Windows.
258
259
BUG FIXES:
260
261
* ``bzr upgrade`` on remote branches accessed via bzr:// and
262
bzr+ssh:// now works. (Andrew Bennetts)
263
264
* Change the ``get_format_description()`` strings for
265
``RepositoryFormatKnitPack5`` et al to be single line messages.
266
(Aaron Bentley)
267
268
* Fix for a regression on Win32 where we would try to call
269
``os.listdir()`` on a file and not catch the exception properly.
270
(Windows raises a different exception.) This would manifest in
271
places like ``bzr rm file`` or ``bzr switch``.
272
(Mark Hammond, John Arbash Meinel)
273
274
* ``Inventory.copy()`` was failing to set the revision property for
275
the root entry. (Jelmer Vernooij)
276
277
* sftp transport: added missing ``FileExists`` case to
278
``_translate_io_exception`` (Christophe Troestler, #123475)
279
280
* The help for ``bzr ignored`` now suggests ``bzr ls --ignored`` for
281
scripting use. (Robert Collins, #3834)
282
283
* The default ``annotate`` logic will now always assign the
284
last-modified value of a line to one of the revisions that modified
285
it, rather than a merge revision. This would happen when both sides
286
claimed to have modified the line resulting in the same text. The
287
choice is arbitrary but stable, so merges in different directions
288
will get the same results. (John Arbash Meinel, #232188)
289
290
291
bzr 1.6rc1 2008-08-06
292
---------------------
293
294
This release candidate for bzr 1.6 solidifies the new branch stacking
295
feature. Bazaar now recommends that users upgrade all knit repositories,
296
because later formats are much faster. However, we plan to continue read/write and
297
upgrade support for knit repostories for the forseeable future. Several
298
other bugs and performance issues were fixed.
299
300
CHANGES:
301
302
* Knit format repositories are deprecated and bzr will now emit
303
warnings whenever it encounters one. Use ``bzr upgrade`` to upgrade
304
knit repositories to pack format. (Andrew Bennetts)
305
306
IMPROVEMENTS:
307
308
* ``bzr check`` can now be told which elements at a location it should
309
check. (Daniel Watkins)
310
311
* Commit now supports ``--exclude`` (or ``-x``) to exclude some files
312
from the commit. (Robert Collins, #3117)
313
314
* Fetching data between repositories that have the same model but no
315
optimised fetcher will not reserialise all the revisions, increasing
316
performance. (Robert Collins, John Arbash Meinel)
317
318
* Give a more specific error when target branch is not reachable.
319
(James Westby)
320
321
* Implemented a custom ``walkdirs_utf8`` implementation for win32.
322
This uses a pyrex extension to get direct access to the
323
``FindFirstFileW`` style apis, rather than using ``listdir`` +
324
``lstat``. Shows a very strong improvement in commands like
325
``status`` and ``diff`` which have to iterate the working tree.
326
Anywhere from 2x-6x faster depending on the size of the tree (bigger
327
trees, bigger benefit.) (John Arbash Meinel)
328
329
* New registry for log properties handles and the method in
330
LongLogFormatter to display the custom properties returned by the
331
registered handlers. (Guillermo Gonzalez, #162469)
332
333
BUG FIXES:
334
335
* Add more tests that stacking does not create deltas spanning
336
physical repository boundaries.
337
(Martin Pool, #252428)
338
339
* Better message about incompatible repositories.
340
(Martin Pool, #206258)
341
342
* ``bzr branch --stacked`` ensures the destination branch format can
343
support stacking, even if the origin does not.
344
(Martin Pool)
345
346
* ``bzr export`` no longer exports ``.bzrrules``.
347
(Ian Clatworthy)
348
349
* ``bzr serve --directory=/`` now correctly allows the whole
350
filesystem to be accessed on Windows, not just the root of the drive
351
that Python is running from.
352
(Adrian Wilkins, #240910)
353
354
* Deleting directories by hand before running ``bzr rm`` will not
355
cause subsequent errors in ``bzr st`` and ``bzr commit``.
356
(Robert Collins, #150438)
357
358
* Fix a test case that was failing if encoding wasn't UTF-8.
359
(John Arbash Meinel, #247585)
360
361
* Fix "no buffer space available" error when branching with the new
362
smart server protocol to or from Windows.
363
(Andrew Bennetts, #246180)
364
365
* Fixed problem in branching from smart server.
366
(#249256, Michael Hudson, Martin Pool)
367
368
* Handle a file turning in to a directory in TreeTransform.
369
(James Westby, #248448)
370
371
API CHANGES:
372
373
* ``MutableTree.commit`` has an extra optional keywork parameter
374
``exclude`` that will be unconditionally supplied by the command
375
line UI - plugins that add tree formats may need an update.
376
(Robert Collins)
377
378
* The API minimum version for plugin compatibility has been raised to
379
1.6 - there are significant changes throughout the code base.
380
(Robert Collins)
381
382
* The generic fetch code now uses three attributes on Repository objects
383
to control fetch. The streams requested are controlled via :
384
``_fetch_order`` and ``_fetch_uses_deltas``. Setting these
385
appropriately allows different repository implementations to recieve
386
data in their optimial form. If the ``_fetch_reconcile`` is set then
387
a reconcile operation is triggered at the end of the fetch.
388
(Robert Collins)
389
390
* The ``put_on_disk`` and ``get_tar_item`` methods in
391
``InventoryEntry`` were deprecated. (Ian Clatworthy)
392
393
* ``Repository.is_shared`` doesn't take a read lock. It didn't
394
need one in the first place (nobody cached the value, and
395
``RemoteRepository`` wasn't taking one either). This saves a round
396
trip when probing Pack repositories, as they read the ``pack-names``
397
file when locked. And during probe, locking the repo isn't very
398
useful. (John Arbash Meinel)
399
400
INTERNALS:
401
402
* ``bzrlib.branchbuilder.BranchBuilder`` is now much more capable of
403
putting together a real history without having to create a full
404
WorkingTree. It is recommended that tests that are not directly
405
testing the WorkingTree use BranchBuilder instead. See
406
``BranchBuilder.build_snapshot`` or
407
``TestCaseWithMemoryTree.make_branch_builder``. (John Arbash Meinel)
408
409
* ``bzrlib.builtins.internal_tree_files`` broken into two giving a new
410
helper ``safe_relpath_files`` - used by the new ``exclude``
411
parameter to commit. (Robert Collins)
412
413
* Make it easier to introduce new WorkingTree formats.
414
(Ian Clatworthy)
415
416
* The code for exporting trees was refactored not to use the
417
deprecated ``InventoryEntry`` methods. (Ian Clatworthy)
418
419
* RuleSearchers return () instead of [] now when there are no matches.
420
(Ian Clatworthy)
421
422
423
bzr 1.6beta3 2008-07-17
424
-----------------------
425
426
This release adds a new 'stacked branches' feature allowing branches to
427
share storage without being in the same repository or on the same machine.
428
(See the user guide for more details.) It also adds a new hook, improved
429
weaves, aliases for related locations, faster bzr+ssh push, and several
430
bug fixes.
431
432
FEATURES:
433
434
* New ``pre_change_branch_tip`` hook that is called before the
435
branch tip is moved, while the branch is write-locked. See the User
436
Reference for signature details. (Andrew Bennetts)
437
438
* Rule-based preferences can now be defined for selected files in
439
selected branches, allowing commands and plugins to provide
440
custom behaviour for files matching defined patterns.
441
See ``Rule-based preferences`` (part of ``Configuring Bazaar``)
442
in the User Guide and ``bzr help rules`` for more information.
443
(Ian Clatworthy)
444
445
* Sites may suggest a branch to stack new branches on. (Aaron Bentley)
446
447
* Stacked branches are now supported. See ``bzr help branch`` and
448
``bzr help push``. Branches must be in the ``development1`` format
449
to stack, though the stacked-on branch can be of any format.
450
(Robert Collins)
451
452
IMPROVEMENTS:
453
454
* ``bzr export --format=tgz --root=NAME -`` to export a gzipped tarball
455
to stdout; also ``tar`` and ``tbz2``.
456
(Martin Pool)
457
458
* ``bzr (re)merge --weave`` will now use a standard Weave algorithm,
459
rather than the annotation-based merge it was using. It does so by
460
building up a Weave of the important texts, without needing to build
461
the full ancestry. (John Arbash Meinel, #238895)
462
463
* ``bzr send`` documents and better supports ``emacsclient`` (proper
464
escaping of mail headers and handling of the MUA Mew).
465
(Christophe Troestler)
466
467
* Remembered locations can be specified by aliases, e.g. :parent, :public,
468
:submit. (Aaron Bentley)
469
470
* The smart protocol now has improved support for setting branches'
471
revision info directly. This makes operations like push
472
faster. The new request method name is
473
``Branch.set_last_revision_ex``. (Andrew Bennetts)
474
475
BUG FIXES:
476
477
* Bazaar is now able to be a client to the web server of IIS 6 and 7.
478
The broken implementations of RFC822 in Python and RFC2046 in IIS
479
combined with boundary-line checking in Bazaar previously made this
480
impossible. (NB, IIS 5 does not suffer from this problem).
481
(Adrian Wilkins, #247585)
482
483
* ``bzr log --long`` with a ghost in your mainline now handles that
484
ghost properly. (John Arbash Meinel, #243536)
485
486
* ``check`` handles the split-up .bzr layout correctly, so no longer
487
requires a branch to be present.
488
(Daniel Watkins, #64783)
489
490
* Clearer message about how to set the PYTHONPATH if bzrlib can't be
491
loaded.
492
(Martin Pool, #205230)
493
494
* Errors about missing libraries are now shown without a traceback,
495
and with a suggestion to install the library. The full traceback is
496
still in ``.bzr.log`` and can be shown with ``-Derror``.
497
(Martin Pool, #240161)
498
499
* Fetch from a stacked branch copies all required data.
500
(Aaron Bentley, #248506)
501
502
* Handle urls such as ftp://user@host.com@www.host.com where the user
503
name contains an @.
504
(Neil Martinsen-Burrell, #228058)
505
506
* ``needs_read_lock`` and ``needs_write_lock`` now suppress an error during
507
``unlock`` if there was an error in the original function. This helps
508
most when there is a failure with a smart server action, since often the
509
connection closes and we cannot unlock.
510
(Andrew Bennetts, John Arbash Meinel, #125784)
511
512
* Obsolete hidden command ``bzr fetch`` removed.
513
(Martin Pool, #172870)
514
515
* Raise the correct exception when doing ``-rbefore:0`` or ``-c0``.
516
(John Arbash Meinel, #239933)
517
518
* You can now compare file revisions in Windows diff programs from
519
Cygwin Bazaar.
520
(Matt McClure, #209281)
521
522
* revision_history now tolerates mainline ghosts for Branch format 6.
523
(Aaron Bentley, #235055)
524
525
* Set locale from environment for third party libs.
526
(Martin von Gagern, #128496)
527
528
DOCUMENTATION:
529
530
* Added *Using stacked branches* to the User Guide.
531
(Ian Clatworthy)
532
533
* Updated developer documentation.
534
(Martin Pool)
535
536
TESTING:
537
538
* ``-Dmemory`` will cause /proc/PID/status to be catted before bzr
539
exits, allowing low-key analysis of peak memory use. (Robert Collins)
540
541
* ``TestCaseWithTransport.make_branch_and_tree`` tries harder to return
542
a tree with a ``branch`` attribute of the right format. This was
543
preventing some ``RemoteBranch`` tests from actually running with
544
``RemoteBranch`` instances. (Andrew Bennetts)
545
546
API CHANGES:
547
548
* Removed ``Repository.text_store``, ``control_store``, etc. Instead,
549
there are new attributes ``texts, inventories, revisions,
550
signatures``, each of which is a ``VersionedFiles``. See the
551
Repository docstring for more details.
552
(Robert Collins)
553
554
* ``Branch.pull`` now accepts an ``_override_hook_target`` optional
555
parameter. If you have a subclass of ``Branch`` that overrides
556
``pull`` then you should add this parameter. (Andrew Bennetts)
557
558
* ``bzrlib.check.check()`` has been deprecated in favour of the more
559
aptly-named ``bzrlib.check.check_branch()``.
560
(Daniel Watkins)
561
562
* ``Tree.print_file`` and ``Repository.print_file`` are deprecated.
563
These methods are bad APIs because they write directly to sys.stdout.
564
bzrlib does not use them internally, and there are no direct tests
565
for them. (Alexander Belchenko)
566
567
INTERNALS:
568
569
* ``cat`` command no longer uses ``Tree.print_file()`` internally.
570
(Alexander Belchenko)
571
572
* New class method ``BzrDir.open_containing_tree_branch_or_repository``
573
which eases the discovery of the tree, the branch and the repository
574
containing a given location.
575
(Daniel Watkins)
576
577
* New ``versionedfile.KeyMapper`` interface to abstract out the access to
578
underlying .knit/.kndx etc files in repositories with partitioned
579
storage. (Robert Collins)
580
581
* Obsolete developer-use command ``weave-join`` has been removed.
582
(Robert Collins)
583
584
* ``RemoteToOtherFetcher`` and ``get_data_stream_for_search`` removed,
585
to support new ``VersionedFiles`` layering.
586
(Robert Collins)
587

589
bzr 1.6beta2 2008-06-10
590
-----------------------
591
592
This release contains further progress towards our 1.6 goals of shallow
593
repositories, and contains a fix for some user-affecting bugs in the
594
repository layer. Building working trees during checkout and branch is
595
now faster.
596
597
BUG FIXES:
598
599
* Avoid KnitCorrupt error extracting inventories from some repositories.
600
(The data is not corrupt; an internal check is detecting a problem
601
reading from the repository.)
602
(Martin Pool, Andrew Bennetts, Robert Collins, #234748)
603
604
* ``bzr status`` was breaking if you merged the same revision twice.
605
(John Arbash Meinel, #235407)
606
607
* Fix infinite loop consuming 100% CPU when a connection is lost while
608
reading a response body via the smart protocol v1 or v2.
609
(Andrew Bennetts)
610
611
* Inserting a bundle which changes the contents of a file with no trailing
612
end of line, causing a knit snapshot in a 'knits' repository will no longer
613
cause KnitCorrupt. (Robert Collins)
614
615
* ``RemoteBranch.pull`` needs to return the ``self._real_branch``'s
616
pull result. It was instead just returning None, which breaks ``bzr
617
pull``. (John Arbash Meinel, #238149)
618
619
* Sanitize branch nick before using it as an attachment filename in
620
``bzr send``. (Lukáš Lalinský, #210218)
621
622
* Squash ``inv_entry.symlink_target`` to a plain string when
623
generating DirState details. This prevents from getting a
624
``UnicodeError`` when you have symlinks and non-ascii filenames.
625
(John Arbash Meinel, #135320)
626
627
IMPROVEMENTS:
628
629
* Added the 'alias' command to set/unset and display aliases. (Tim Penhey)
630
631
* ``added``, ``modified``, and ``unknowns`` behaviour made consistent (all three
632
now quote paths where required). Added ``--null`` option to ``added`` and
633
``modified`` (for null-separated unknowns, use ``ls --unknown --null``)
634
(Adrian Wilkins)
635
636
* Faster branching (1.09x) and lightweight checkouts (1.06x) on large trees.
637
(Ian Clatworthy, Aaron Bentley)
638
639
DOCUMENTATION:
640
641
* Added *Bazaar Zen* section to the User Guide. (Ian Clatworthy)
642
643
TESTING:
644
645
* Fix the test HTTPServer to be isolated from chdir calls made while it is
646
running, allowing it to be used in blackbox tests. (Robert Collins)
647
648
API CHANGES:
649
650
* ``WorkingTree.set_parent_(ids/trees)`` will now filter out revisions
651
which are in the ancestry of other revisions. So if you merge the same
652
tree twice, or merge an ancestor of an existing merge, it will only
653
record the newest. (If you merge a descendent, it will replace its
654
ancestor). (John Arbash Meinel, #235407)
655
656
* ``RepositoryPolicy.__init__`` now requires stack_on and stack_on_pwd,
657
through the derived classes do not. (Aaron Bentley)
658
659
INTERNALS:
660
661
* ``bzrlib.bzrdir.BzrDir.sprout`` now accepts ``stacked`` to control
662
creating stacked branches. (Robert Collins)
663
664
* Knit record serialisation is now stricter on what it will accept, to
665
guard against potential internal bugs, or broken input. (Robert Collins)
666
667
668
bzr 1.6beta1 2008-06-02
669
-----------------------
670
671
672
Commands that work on the revision history such as push, pull, missing,
673
uncommit and log are now substantially faster. This release adds a
674
translation of some of the user documentation into Spanish. (Contributions of
675
other translations would be very welcome.) Bazaar 1.6beta1 adds a new network
676
protocol which is used by default and which allows for more efficient transfers
677
and future extensions.
678
679
680
NOTES WHEN UPGRADING:
681
682
* There is a new version of the network protocol used for bzr://, bzr+ssh://
683
and bzr+http:// connections. This will allow more efficient requests and
684
responses, and more graceful fallback when a server is too old to
685
recognise a request from a more recent client. Bazaar 1.6 will
686
interoperate with 0.16 and later versions, but servers should be upgraded
687
when possible. Bazaar 1.6 no longer interoperates with 0.15 and earlier via
688
these protocols. Use alternatives like SFTP or upgrade those servers.
689
(Andrew Bennetts, #83935)
690
691
CHANGES:
692
693
* Deprecation warnings will not be suppressed when running ``bzr selftest``
694
so that developers can see if their code is using deprecated functions.
695
(John Arbash Meinel)
696
697
FEATURES:
698
699
* Adding ``-Derror`` will now display a traceback when a plugin fails to
700
load. (James Westby)
701
702
IMPROVEMENTS:
703
704
* ``bzr branch/push/pull -r XXX`` now have a helper function for finding
705
the revno of the new revision (``Graph.find_distance_to_null``). This
706
should make something like ``bzr branch -r -100`` in a shared, no-trees
707
repository much snappier. (John Arbash Meinel)
708
709
* ``bzr log --short -r X..Y`` no longer needs to access the full revision
710
history. This makes it noticeably faster when logging the last few
711
revisions. (John Arbash Meinel)
712
713
* ``bzr ls`` now accepts ``-V`` as an alias for ``--versioned``.
714
(Jerad Cramp, #165086)
715
716
* ``bzr missing`` uses the new ``Graph.find_unique_ancestors`` and
717
``Graph.find_differences`` to determine missing revisions without having
718
to search the whole ancestry. (John Arbash Meinel, #174625)
719
720
* ``bzr uncommit`` now uses partial history access, rather than always
721
extracting the full revision history for a branch. This makes it
722
resolve the appropriate revisions much faster (in testing it drops
723
uncommit from 1.5s => 0.4s). It also means ``bzr log --short`` is one
724
step closer to not using full revision history.
725
(John Arbash Meinel, #172649)
726
727
BUGFIXES:
728
729
* ``bzr merge --lca`` should handle when two revisions have no common
730
ancestor other than NULL_REVISION. (John Arbash Meinel, #235715)
731
732
* ``bzr status`` was breaking if you merged the same revision twice.
733
(John Arbash Meinel, #235407)
734
735
* ``bzr push`` with both ``--overwrite`` and ``-r NNN`` options no longer
736
fails. (Andrew Bennetts, #234229)
737
738
* Correctly track the base URL of a smart medium when using bzr+http://
739
URLs, which was causing spurious "No repository present" errors with
740
branches in shared repositories accessed over bzr+http.
741
(Andrew Bennetts, #230550)
742
743
* Define ``_remote_is_at_least_1_2`` on ``SmartClientMedium`` so that all
744
implementations have the attribute. Fixes 'PyCurlTransport' object has no
745
attribute '_remote_is_at_least_1_2' attribute errors.
746
(Andrew Bennetts, #220806)
747
748
* Failure to delete an obsolete pack file should just give a warning
749
message, not a fatal error. It may for example fail if the file is still
750
in use by another process.
751
(Martin Pool)
752
753
* Fix MemoryError during large fetches over HTTP by limiting the amount of
754
data we try to read per ``recv`` call. The problem was observed with
755
Windows and a proxy, but might affect other environments as well.
756
(Eric Holmberg, #215426)
757
758
* Handle old merge directives correctly in Merger.from_mergeable. Stricter
759
get_parent_map requirements exposed a latent bug here. (Aaron Bentley)
760
761
* Issue a warning and ignore passwords declared in authentication.conf when
762
used for an ssh scheme (sftp or bzr+ssh).
763
(Vincent Ladeuil, #203186)
764
765
* Make both http implementations raise appropriate exceptions on 403
766
Forbidden when POSTing smart requests.
767
(Vincent Ladeuil, #230223)
768
769
* Properly *title* header names in http requests instead of capitalizing
770
them.
771
(Vincent Ladeuil, #229076)
772
773
* The "Unable to obtain lock" error message now also suggests using
774
``bzr break-lock`` to fix it. (Martin Albisetti, #139202)
775
776
* Treat an encoding of '' as ascii; this can happen when bzr is run
777
under vim on Mac OS X.
778
(Neil Martinsen-Burrell)
779
780
* ``VersionedFile.make_mpdiffs()`` was raising an exception that wasn't in
781
scope. (Daniel Fischer #235687)
782
783
DOCUMENTATION:
784
785
* Added directory structure and started translation of docs in spanish.
786
(Martin Albisetti, Lucio Albenga)
787
788
* Incorporate feedback from Jelmer Vernooij and Neil Martinsen-Burrell
789
on the plugin and integration chapters of the User Guide.
790
(Ian Clatworthy)
791
792
* More Bazaar developer documentation about packaging and release process,
793
and about use of Python reprs.
794
(Martin Pool, Martin Albisetti)
795
796
* Updated Tortise strategy document. (Mark Hammond)
797
798
TESTING:
799
800
* ``bzrlib.tests.adapt_tests`` was broken and unused - it has been fixed.
801
(Robert Collins)
802
803
* Fix the test HTTPServer to be isolated from chdir calls made while it is
804
running, allowing it to be used in blackbox tests. (Robert Collins)
805
806
* New helper function for splitting test suites
807
``split_suite_by_condition``. (Robert Collins)
808
809
INTERNALS:
810
811
* ``Branch.missing_revisions`` has been deprecated. Similar functionality
812
can be obtained using ``bzrlib.missing.find_unmerged``. The api was
813
fairly broken, and the function was unused, so we are getting rid of it.
814
(John Arbash Meinel)
815
816
API CHANGES:
817
818
* ``Branch.abspath`` is deprecated; use the Tree or Transport
819
instead. (Martin Pool)
820
821
* ``Branch.update_revisions`` now takes an optional ``Graph``
822
object. This can be used by ``update_revisions`` when it is
823
checking ancestry, and allows callers to prefer request to go to a
824
local branch. (John Arbash Meinel)
825
826
* Branch, Repository, Tree and BzrDir should expose a Transport as an
827
attribute if they have one, rather than having it indirectly accessible
828
as ``.control_files._transport``. This doesn't add a requirement
829
to support a Transport in cases where it was not needed before;
830
it just simplifies the way it is reached. (Martin Pool)
831
832
* ``bzr missing --mine-only`` will return status code 0 if you have no
833
new revisions, but the remote does. Similarly for ``--theirs-only``.
834
The new code only checks one side, so it doesn't know if the other
835
side has changes. This seems more accurate with the request anyway.
836
It also changes the output to print '[This|Other] branch is up to
837
date.' rather than displaying nothing. (John Arbash Meinel)
838
839
* ``LockableFiles.put_utf8``, ``put_bytes`` and ``controlfilename``
840
are now deprecated in favor of using Transport operations.
841
(Martin Pool)
842
843
* Many methods on ``VersionedFile``, ``Repository`` and in
844
``bzrlib.revision`` deprecated before bzrlib 1.5 have been removed.
845
(Robert Collins)
846
847
* ``RevisionSpec.wants_revision_history`` can be set to False for a given
848
``RevisionSpec``. This will disable the existing behavior of passing in
849
the full revision history to ``self._match_on``. Useful for specs that
850
don't actually need access to the full history. (John Arbash Meinel)
851
852
* The constructors of ``SmartClientMedium`` and its subclasses now require a
853
``base`` parameter. ``SmartClientMedium`` implementations now also need
854
to provide a ``remote_path_from_transport`` method. (Andrew Bennetts)
855
856
* The default permissions for creating new files and directories
857
should now be obtained from ``BzrDir._get_file_mode()`` and
858
``_get_dir_mode()``, rather than from LockableFiles. The ``_set_file_mode``
859
and ``_set_dir_mode`` variables on LockableFiles which were advertised
860
as a way for plugins to control this are no longer consulted.
861
(Martin Pool)
862
863
* ``VersionedFile.join`` is deprecated. This method required local
864
instances of both versioned file objects and was thus hostile to being
865
used for streaming from a smart server. The new get_record_stream and
866
insert_record_stream are meant to efficiently replace this method.
867
(Robert Collins)
868
869
* ``WorkingTree.set_parent_(ids/trees)`` will now filter out revisions
870
which are in the ancestry of other revisions. So if you merge the same
871
tree twice, or merge an ancestor of an existing merge, it will only
872
record the newest. (If you merge a descendent, it will replace its
873
ancestor). (John Arbash Meinel, #235407)
874
875
* ``WorkingTreeFormat2.stub_initialize_remote`` is now private.
876
(Martin Pool)

bzr 1.5 2008-05-16
880
------------------
881
882
This release of Bazaar includes several updates to the documentation, and fixes
883
to prepare for making rich root support the default format. Many bugs have been
884
squashed, including fixes to log, bzr+ssh inter-operation with older servers.
885
886
CHANGES:
887
888
* Suppress deprecation warnings when bzrlib is a 'final' release. This way
889
users of packaged software won't be bothered with DeprecationWarnings,
890
but developers and testers will still see them. (John Arbash Meinel)
891
892
DOCUMENTATION:
893
894
* Incorporate feedback from Jelmer Vernooij and Neil Martinsen-Burrell
895
on the plugin and integration chapters of the User Guide.

900
---------------------
901
902
NOTES WHEN UPGRADING:
903
904
CHANGES:
905
906
* Broader support of GNU Emacs mail clients. Set
907
``mail_client=emacsclient`` in your bazaar.conf and ``send`` will pop the
908
bundle in a mail buffer according to the value of ``mail-user-agent``
909
variable. (Xavier Maillard)
910
911
FEATURES:
912
913
IMPROVEMENTS:
914
915
* Diff now handles revision specs like "branch:" and "submit:" more
916
efficiently. (Aaron Bentley, #202928)
917
918
* More friendly error given when attempt to start the smart server
919
on an address already in use. (Andrea Corbellini, #200575)
920
921
* Pull completes much faster when there is nothing to pull.
922
(Aaron Bentley)
923
924
BUGFIXES:
925
926
* Authentication.conf can define sections without password.
927
(Vincent Ladeuil, #199440)
928
929
* Avoid muttering every time a child update does not cause a progress bar
930
update. (John Arbash Meinel, #213771)
931
932
* ``Branch.reconcile()`` is now implemented. This allows ``bzr reconcile``
933
to fix when a Branch has a non-canonical mainline history. ``bzr check``
934
also detects this condition. (John Arbash Meinel, #177855)
935
936
* ``bzr log -r ..X bzr://`` was failing, because it was getting a request
937
for ``revision_id=None`` which was not a string.
938
(John Arbash Meinel, #211661)
939
940
* ``bzr commit`` now works with Microsoft's FTP service.
941
(Andreas Deininger)
942
943
* Catch definitions outside sections in authentication.conf.
944
(Vincent Ladeuil, #217650)
945
946
* Conversion from non-rich-root to rich-root(-pack) updates inventory
947
sha1s, even when bundles are used. (Aaron Bentley, #181391)
948
949
* Conversion from non-rich-root to rich-root(-pack) works correctly even
950
though search keys are not topologically sorted. (Aaron Bentley)
951
952
* Conversion from non-rich-root to rich-root(-pack) works even when a
953
parent revision has a different root id. (Aaron Bentley, #177874)
954
955
* Disable strace testing until strace is fixed (see bug #103133) and emit a
956
warning when selftest ends to remind us of leaking tests.
957
(Vincent Ladeuil, #226769)
958
959
* Fetching all revisions from a repository does not cause pack collisions.
960
(Robert Collins, Aaron Bentley, #212908)
961
962
* Fix error about "attempt to add line-delta in non-delta knit".
963
(Andrew Bennetts, #217701)
964
965
* Pushing a branch in "dirstate" format (Branch5) over bzr+ssh would break
966
if the remote server was < version 1.2. This was due to a bug in the
967
RemoteRepository.get_parent_map() fallback code.
968
(John Arbash Meinel, #214894)
969
970
* Remove leftover code in ``bzr_branch`` that inappropriately creates
971
a ``branch-name`` file in the branch control directory.
972
(Martin Pool)
973
974
* Set SO_REUSEADDR on server sockets of ``bzr serve`` to avoid problems
975
rebinding the socket when starting the server a second time.
976
(John Arbash Meinel, Martin Pool, #164288)
977
978
* Severe performance degradation in fetching from knit repositories to
979
knits and packs due to parsing the entire revisions.kndx on every graph
980
walk iteration fixed by using the Repository.get_graph API. There was
981
another regression in knit => knit fetching which re-read the index for
982
every revision each side had in common.
983
(Robert Collins, John Arbash Meinel)
984
985
* When logging the changes to a particular file, there was a bug if there
986
were ghosts in the revision ancestry. (John Arbash Meinel, #209948)
987
988
* xs4all's ftp server returns a temporary error when trying to list an
989
empty directory, rather than returning an empty list. Adding a
990
workaround so that we don't get spurious failures.
991
(John Arbash Meinel, #215522)
992
993
DOCUMENTATION:
994
995
* Expanded the User Guide to include new chapters on popular plugins and
996
integrating Bazaar into your environment. The *Best practices* chapter
997
was renamed to *Miscellaneous topics* as suggested by community
998
feedback as well. (Ian Clatworthy)
999
1000
* Document outlining strategies for TortoiseBzr. (Mark Hammond)
1001
1002
* Improved the documentation on hooks. (Ian Clatworthy)
1003
1004
* Update authentication docs regarding ssh agents.
1005
(Vincent Ladeuil, #183705)
1006
1007
TESTING:
1008
1009
* Add ``thread_name_suffix`` parameter to SmartTCPServer_for_testing, to
1010
make it easy to identify which test spawned a thread with an unhandled
1011
exception. (Andrew Bennetts)
1012
1013
* New ``--debugflag``/``-E`` option to ``bzr selftest`` for setting
1014
options for debugging tests, these are complementary to the the -D
1015
options. The ``-Dselftest_debug`` global option has been replaced by the
1016
``-E=allow_debug`` option for selftest. (Andrew Bennetts)
1017
1018
* Parameterised test ids are preserved correctly to aid diagnosis of test
1019
failures. (Robert Collins, Andrew Bennetts)
1020
1021
* selftest now accepts --starting-with <id> to load only the tests whose id
1022
starts with the one specified. This greatly speeds up running the test
1023
suite on a limited set of tests and can be used to run the tests for a
1024
single module, a single class or even a single test. (Vincent Ladeuil)
1025
1026
* The test suite modules have been modified to define load_tests() instead
1027
of test_suite(). That speeds up selective loading (via --load-list)
1028
significantly and provides many examples on how to migrate (grep for
1029
load_tests). (Vincent Ladeuil)
1030
1031
INTERNALS:
1032
1033
* ``Hooks.install_hook`` is now deprecated in favour of
1034
``Hooks.install_named_hook`` which adds a required ``name`` parameter, to
1035
avoid having to call ``Hooks.name_hook``. (Daniel Watkins)
1036
1037
* Implement xml8 serializer. (Aaron Bentley)
1038
1039
* New form ``@deprecated_method(deprecated_in(1, 5, 0))`` for making
1040
deprecation wrappers. (Martin Pool)
1041
1042
* ``Repository.revision_parents`` is now deprecated in favour of
1043
``Repository.get_parent_map([revid])[revid]``. (Jelmer Vernooij)
1044
1045
* The Python ``assert`` statement is no longer used in Bazaar source, and
1046
a test checks this. (Martin Pool)
1047
1048
API CHANGES:
1049
1050
* ``bzrlib.status.show_pending_merges`` requires the repository to be
1051
locked by the caller. Callers should have been doing it anyway, but it
1052
will now raise an exception if they do not. (John Arbash Meinel)
1053
1054
* Repository.get_data_stream, Repository.get_data_stream_for_search(),
1055
Repository.get_deltas_for_revsions(), Repository.revision_trees(),
1056
Repository.item_keys_introduced_by() no longer take read locks.
1057
(Aaron Bentley)
1058
1059
* ``LockableFiles.get_utf8`` and ``.get`` are deprecated, as a start
1060
towards removing LockableFiles and ``.control_files`` entirely.
1061
(Martin Pool)
1062
1063
* Methods deprecated prior to 1.1 have been removed.

bzr 1.4 2008-04-28
1068
------------------
1069
1070
This release of Bazaar includes handy improvements to the speed of log and
1071
status, new options for several commands, improved documentation, and better
1072
hooks, including initial code for server-side hooks. A number of bugs have
1073
been fixed, particularly in interoperability between different formats or
1074
different releases of Bazaar over there network. There's been substantial
1075
internal work in both the repository and network code to enable new features
1076
and faster performance.
1077
1078
BUG FIXES:
1079
1080
* Pushing a branch in "dirstate" format (Branch5) over bzr+ssh would break
1081

1082
RemoteRepository.get_parent_map() fallback code.

BUG FIXES:
1090
1091
* ``bzr log -r ..X bzr://`` was failing, because it was getting a request
1092
for ``revision_id=None`` which was not a string.
1093
(John Arbash Meinel, #211661)
1094
1095
* Fixed a bug in handling ghost revisions when logging changes in a
1096
particular file. (John Arbash Meinel, #209948)
1097
1098
* Fix error about "attempt to add line-delta in non-delta knit".
1099
(Andrew Bennetts, #205156)
1100
1101
* Fixed performance degradation in fetching from knit repositories to
1102
knits and packs due to parsing the entire revisions.kndx on every graph
1103
walk iteration fixed by using the Repository.get_graph API. There was
1104

bzr 1.4rc1 2008-04-11
1110
---------------------
1111
1112
CHANGES:
1113
1114
* bzr main script cannot be imported (Benjamin Peterson)
1115
1116
* On Linux bzr additionally looks for plugins in arch-independent site
1117
directory. (Toshio Kuratomi)
1118
1119
* The ``set_rh`` branch hook is now deprecated. Please migrate
1120
any plugins using this hook to use an alternative, e.g.
1121
``post_change_branch_tip``. (Ian Clatworthy)
1122
1123
* When a plugin cannot be loaded as the file path is not a valid
1124
python module name bzr will now strip a ``bzr_`` prefix from the
1125
front of the suggested name, as many plugins (e.g. bzr-svn)
1126
want to be installed without this prefix. It is a common mistake
1127
to have a folder named "bzr-svn" for that plugin, especially
1128
as this is what bzr branch lp:bzr-svn will give you. (James Westby,
1129
Andrew Cowie)
1130
1131
* UniqueIntegerBugTracker now appends bug-ids instead of joining
1132
them to the base URL. Plugins that register bug trackers may
1133
need a trailing / added to the base URL if one is not already there.
1134
(James Wesby, Andrew Cowie)
1135
1136
FEATURES:
1137
1138
* Added start_commit hook for mutable trees. (Jelmer Vernooij, #186422)
1139
1140
* ``status`` now accepts ``--no-pending`` to show the status without
1141
listing pending merges, which speeds up the command a lot on large
1142
histories. (James Westby, #202830)
1143
1144
* New ``post_change_branch_tip`` hook that is called after the
1145
branch tip is moved but while the branch is still write-locked.
1146
See the User Reference for signature details.
1147
(Ian Clatworthy, James Henstridge)
1148
1149
* Reconfigure can convert a branch to be standalone or to use a shared
1150
repository. (Aaron Bentley)
1151
1152
IMPROVEMENTS:
1153
1154
* The smart protocol now has support for setting branches' revision info
1155
directly. This should make operations like push slightly faster, and is a
1156
step towards server-side hooks. The new request method name is
1157
``Branch.set_last_revision_info``. (Andrew Bennetts)
1158
1159
* ``bzr commit --fixes`` now recognises "gnome" as a tag by default.
1160
(James Westby, Andrew Cowie)
1161
1162
* ``bzr switch`` will attempt to find branches to switch to relative to the
1163
current branch. E.g. ``bzr switch branchname`` will look for
1164
``current_branch/../branchname``. (Robert Collins, Jelmer Vernooij,
1165
Wouter van Heyst)
1166
1167
* Diff is now more specific about execute-bit changes it describes
1168
(Chad Miller)
1169
1170
* Fetching data over HTTP is a bit faster when urllib is used. This is done
1171
by forcing it to recv 64k at a time when reading lines in HTTP headers,
1172
rather than just 1 byte at a time. (Andrew Bennetts)
1173
1174
* Log --short and --line are much faster when -r is not specified.
1175
(Aaron Bentley)
1176
1177
* Merge is faster. We no longer check a file's existence unnecessarily
1178
when merging the execute bit. (Aaron Bentley)
1179
1180
* ``bzr status`` on an explicit list of files no longer shows pending
1181
merges, making it much faster on large trees. (John Arbash Meinel)
1182
1183
* The launchpad directory service now warns the user if they have not set
1184
their launchpad login and are trying to resolve a URL using it, just
1185
in case they want to do a write operation with it. (James Westby)
1186
1187
* The smart protocol client is slightly faster, because it now only queries
1188
the server for the protocol version once per connection. Also, the HTTP
1189
transport will now automatically probe for and use a smart server if
1190
one is present. You can use the new ``nosmart+`` transport decorator
1191
to get the old behaviour. (Andrew Bennetts)
1192
1193
* The ``version`` command takes a ``--short`` option to print just the
1194
version number, for easier use in scripts. (Martin Pool)
1195
1196
* Various operations with revision specs and commands that calculate
1197
revnos and revision ids are faster. (John A. Meinel, Aaron Bentley)
1198
1199
BUGFIXES:
1200
1201
* Add ``root_client_path`` parameter to SmartWSGIApp and
1202
SmartServerRequest. This makes it possible to publish filesystem
1203
locations that don't exactly match URL paths. SmartServerRequest
1204
subclasses should use the new ``translate_client_path`` and
1205
``transport_from_client_path`` methods when dealing with paths received
1206
from a client to take this into account. (Andrew Bennetts, #124089)
1207
1208
* ``bzr mv a b`` can be now used also to rename previously renamed
1209
directories, not only files. (Lukáš Lalinský, #107967)
1210
1211
* ``bzr uncommit --local`` can now remove revisions from the local
1212
branch to be symmetric with ``bzr commit --local``.
1213
(John Arbash Meinel, #93412)
1214
1215
* Don't ask for a password if there is no real terminal.
1216
(Alexander Belchenko, #69851)
1217
1218
* Fix a bug causing a ValueError crash in ``parse_line_delta_iter`` when
1219
fetching revisions from a knit to pack repository or vice versa using
1220
bzr:// (including over http or ssh).
1221
(#208418, Andrew Bennetts, Martin Pool, Robert Collins)
1222
1223
* Fixed ``_get_line`` in ``bzrlib.smart.medium``, which was buggy. Also
1224
fixed ``_get_bytes`` in the same module to use the push back buffer.
1225
These bugs had no known impact in normal use, but were problematic for
1226
developers working on the code, and were likely to cause real bugs sooner
1227
or later. (Andrew Bennetts)
1228
1229
* Implement handling of basename parameter for DefaultMail. (James Westby)
1230
1231
* Incompatibility with Paramiko versions newer than 1.7.2 was fixed.
1232
(Andrew Bennetts, #213425)
1233
1234
* Launchpad locations (lp: URLs) can be pulled. (Aaron Bentley, #181945)
1235
1236
* Merges that add files to deleted root directories complete. They
1237
do create conflicts. (Aaron Bentley, #210092)
1238
1239
* vsftp's return ``550 RNFR command failed.`` supported.
1240
(Marcus Trautwig, #129786)
1241
1242
DOCUMENTATION:
1243
1244
* Improved documentation on send/merge relationship. (Peter Schuller)
1245
1246
* Minor fixes to the User Guide. (Matthew Fuller)
1247
1248
* Reduced the evangelism in the User Guide. (Ian Clatworthy)
1249
1250
* Added Integrating with Bazaar document for developers (Martin Albisetti)
1251
1252
API BREAKS:
1253
1254
* Attempting to pull data from a ghost aware repository (e.g. knits) into a
1255
non-ghost aware repository such as weaves will now fail if there are
1256
ghosts. (Robert Collins)
1257
1258
* ``KnitVersionedFile`` no longer accepts an ``access_mode`` parameter, and
1259
now requires the ``index`` and ``access_method`` parameters to be
1260
supplied. A compatible shim has been kept in the new function
1261
``knit.make_file_knit``. (Robert Collins)
1262
1263
* Log formatters must now provide log_revision instead of show and
1264
show_merge_revno methods. The latter had been deprecated since the 0.17
1265
release. (James Westby)
1266
1267
* ``LoopbackSFTP`` is now called ``SocketAsChannelAdapter``.
1268
(Andrew Bennetts)
1269
1270
* ``osutils.backup_file`` is removed. (Alexander Belchenko)
1271
1272
* ``Repository.get_revision_graph`` is deprecated, with no replacement
1273
method. The method was size(history) and not desirable. (Robert Collins)
1274
1275
* ``revision.revision_graph`` is deprecated, with no replacement function.
1276
The function was size(history) and not desirable. (Robert Collins)
1277
1278
* ``Transport.get_shared_medium`` is deprecated. Use
1279
``Transport.get_smart_medium`` instead. (Andrew Bennetts)
1280
1281
* ``VersionedFile`` factories now accept a get_scope parameter rather
1282
than using a call to ``transaction_finished``, allowing the removal of
1283
the fixed list of versioned files per repository. (Robert Collins)
1284
1285
* ``VersionedFile.annotate_iter`` is deprecated. While in principle this
1286
allowed lower memory use, all users of annotations wanted full file
1287
annotations, and there is no storage format suitable for incremental
1288
line-by-line annotation. (Robert Collins)
1289
1290
* ``VersionedFile.clone_text`` is deprecated. This performance optimisation
1291
is no longer used - reading the content of a file that is undergoing a
1292
file level merge to identical state on two branches is rare enough, and
1293
not expensive enough to special case. (Robert Collins)
1294
1295
* ``VersionedFile.clear_cache`` and ``enable_cache`` are deprecated.
1296
These methods added significant complexity to the ``VersionedFile``
1297
implementation, but were only used for optimising fetches from knits -
1298
which can be done from outside the knit layer, or via a caching
1299
decorator. As knits are not the default format, the complexity is no
1300
longer worth paying. (Robert Collins)
1301
1302
* ``VersionedFile.create_empty`` is removed. This method presupposed a
1303
sensible mapping to a transport for individual files, but pack backed
1304
versioned files have no such mapping. (Robert Collins)
1305
1306
* ``VersionedFile.get_graph`` is deprecated, with no replacement method.
1307
The method was size(history) and not desirable. (Robert Collins)
1308
1309
* ``VersionedFile.get_graph_with_ghosts`` is deprecated, with no
1310
replacement method. The method was size(history) and not desirable.
1311
(Robert Collins)
1312
1313
* ``VersionedFile.get_parents`` is deprecated, please use
1314
``VersionedFile.get_parent_map``. (Robert Collins)
1315
1316
* ``VersionedFile.get_sha1`` is deprecated, please use
1317
``VersionedFile.get_sha1s``. (Robert Collins)
1318
1319
* ``VersionedFile.has_ghost`` is now deprecated, as it is both expensive
1320
and unused outside of a single test. (Robert Collins)
1321
1322
* ``VersionedFile.iter_parents`` is now deprecated in favour of
1323
``get_parent_map`` which can be used to instantiate a Graph on a
1324
VersionedFile. (Robert Collins)
1325
1326
* ``VersionedFileStore`` no longer uses the transaction parameter given
1327
to most methods; amongst other things this means that the
1328
get_weave_or_empty method no longer guarantees errors on a missing weave
1329
in a readonly transaction, and no longer caches versioned file instances
1330
which reduces memory pressure (but requires more careful management by
1331
callers to preserve performance). (Robert Collins)
1332
1333
TESTING:
1334
1335
* New -Dselftest_debug flag disables clearing of the debug flags during
1336
tests. This is useful if you want to use e.g. -Dhpss to help debug a
1337
failing test. Be aware that using this feature is likely to cause
1338
spurious test failures if used with the full suite. (Andrew Bennetts)
1339
1340
* selftest --load-list now uses a new more agressive test loader that will
1341
avoid loading unneeded modules and building their tests. Plugins can use
1342
this new loader by defining a load_tests function instead of a test_suite
1343
function. (a forthcoming patch will provide many examples on how to
1344
implement this).
1345
(Vincent Ladeuil)
1346
1347
* selftest --load-list now does some sanity checks regarding duplicate test
1348
IDs and tests present in the list but not found in the actual test suite.
1349
(Vincent Ladeuil)
1350
1351
* Slightly more concise format for the selftest progress bar, so there's
1352
more space to show the test name. (Martin Pool) ::
1353
1354
[2500/10884, 1fail, 3miss in 1m29s] test_revisionnamespaces.TestRev
1355
1356
* The test suite takes much less memory to run, and is a bit faster. This
1357
is done by clearing most attributes of TestCases after running them, if
1358
they succeeded. (Andrew Bennetts)
1359
1360
INTERNALS:
1361
1362
* Added ``_build_client_protocol`` to ``_SmartClient``. (Andrew Bennetts)
1363
1364
* Added basic infrastructure for automatic plugin suggestion.
1365
(Martin Albisetti)
1366
1367
* If a ``LockableFiles`` object is not explicitly unlocked (for example
1368
because of a missing ``try/finally`` block, it will give a warning but
1369
not automatically unlock itself. (Previously they did.) This
1370
sometimes caused knock-on errors if for example the network connection
1371
had already failed, and should not be relied upon by code.
1372
(Martin Pool, #109520)
1373
1374
* ``make dist`` target to build a release tarball, and also
1375
``check-dist-tarball`` and ``dist-upload-escudero``. (Martin Pool)
1376
1377
* The ``read_response_tuple`` method of ``SmartClientRequestProtocol*``
1378
classes will now raise ``UnknownSmartMethod`` when appropriate, so that
1379
callers don't need to try distinguish unknown request errors from other
1380
errors. (Andrew Bennetts)
1381
1382
* ``set_make_working_trees`` is now implemented provided on all repository
1383
implementations (Aaron Bentley)
1384
1385
* ``VersionedFile`` now has a new method ``get_parent_map`` which, like
1386
``Graph.get_parent_map`` returns a dict of key:parents. (Robert Collins)

1396
---------------------
1397
1398
BUG FIXES:
1399
1400
* Fix a bug causing a ValueError crash in ``parse_line_delta_iter`` when
1401
fetching revisions from a knit to pack repository or vice versa using
1402
bzr:// (including over http or ssh).

bzr 1.3 2008-03-20
1407
------------------
1408
1409
Bazaar has become part of the GNU project <http://www.gnu.org>
1410
1411
Many operations that act on history, including ``log`` and ``annotate`` are now
1412
substantially faster. Several bugs have been fixed and several new options and
1413
features have been added.
1414
1415
TESTING:
1416
1417
* Avoid spurious failure of ``TestVersion.test_version`` matching
1418
directory names.

1425
NOTES WHEN UPGRADING:
1426
1427
* The backup directory created by ``upgrade`` is now called
1428
``backup.bzr``, not ``.bzr.backup``. (Martin Albisetti)
1429
1430
CHANGES:
1431
1432
* A new repository format 'development' has been added. This format will
1433
represent the latest 'in-progress' format that the bzr developers are
1434
interested in getting early-adopter testing and feedback on.
1435
``doc/developers/development-repo.txt`` has detailed information.
1436
(Robert Collins)
1437
1438
* BZR_LOG environment variable controls location of .bzr.log trace file.
1439
User can suppress writing messages to .bzr.log by using '/dev/null'
1440
filename (on Linux) or 'NUL' (on Windows). If BZR_LOG variable
1441
is not defined but BZR_HOME is defined then default location
1442
for .bzr.log trace file is ``$BZR_HOME/.bzr.log``.
1443
(Alexander Belchenko)
1444
1445
* ``launchpad`` builtin plugin now shipped as separate part in standalone
1446
bzr.exe, installed to ``C:\Program Files\Bazaar\plugins`` directory,
1447
and standalone installer allows user to skip installation of this plugin.
1448
(Alexander Belchenko)
1449
1450
* Restore auto-detection of plink.exe on Windows. (Dmitry Vasiliev)
1451
1452
* Version number is now shown as "1.2" or "1.2pr2", without zeroed or
1453
missing final fields. (Martin Pool)
1454
1455
FEATURES:
1456
1457
* ``branch`` and ``checkout`` can hard-link working tree files, which is
1458
faster and saves space. (Aaron Bentley)
1459
1460
* ``bzr send`` will now also look at the ``child_submit_to`` setting in
1461
the submit branch to determine the email address to send to.
1462
(Jelmer Vernooij)
1463
1464
IMPROVEMENTS:
1465
1466
* BzrBranch._lefthand_history is faster on pack repos. (Aaron Bentley)
1467
1468
* Branch6.generate_revision_history is faster. (Aaron Bentley)
1469
1470
* Directory services can now be registered, allowing special URLs to be
1471
dereferenced into real URLs. This is a generalization and cleanup of
1472
the lp: transport lookup. (Aaron Bentley)
1473
1474
* Merge directives that are automatically attached to emails have nicer
1475
filenames, based on branch-nick + revno. (Aaron Bentley)
1476
1477
* ``push`` has a ``--revision`` option, to specify what revision to push up
1478
to. (Daniel Watkins)
1479
1480
* Significantly reducing execution time and network traffic for trivial
1481
case of running ``bzr missing`` command for two identical branches.
1482
(Alexander Belchenko)
1483
1484
* Speed up operations that look at the revision graph (such as 'bzr log').
1485
``KnitPackRepositor.get_revision_graph`` uses ``Graph.iter_ancestry`` to
1486
extract the revision history. This allows filtering ghosts while
1487
stepping instead of needing to peek ahead. (John Arbash Meinel)
1488
1489
* The ``hooks`` command lists installed hooks, to assist in debugging.
1490
(Daniel Watkins)
1491
1492
* Updates to how ``annotate`` work. Should see a measurable improvement in
1493
performance and memory consumption for file with a lot of merges.
1494
Also, correctly handle when a line is introduced by both parents (it
1495
should be attributed to the first merge which notices this, and not
1496
to all subsequent merges.) (John Arbash Meinel)
1497
1498
BUGFIXES:
1499
1500
* Autopacking no longer holds the full set of inventory lines in
1501
memory while copying. For large repositories, this can amount to
1502
hundreds of MB of ram consumption.
1503
(Ian Clatworthy, John Arbash Meinel)
1504
1505
* Cherrypicking when using ``--format=merge3`` now explictly excludes
1506
BASE lines. (John Arbash Meinel, #151731)
1507
1508
* Disable plink's interactive prompt for password.
1509
(#107593, Dmitry Vasiliev)
1510
1511
* Encode command line arguments from unicode to user_encoding before
1512
invoking external mail client in `bzr send` command.
1513
(#139318, Alexander Belchenko)
1514
1515
* Fixed problem connecting to ``bzr+https://`` servers.
1516
(#198793, John Ferlito)
1517
1518
* Improved error reporting in the Launchpad plugin. (Daniel Watkins,
1519
#196618)
1520
1521
* Include quick-start-summary.svg file to python-based installer(s)
1522
for Windows. (#192924, Alexander Belchenko)
1523
1524
* lca merge now respects specified files. (Aaron Bentley)
1525
1526
* Make version-info --custom imply --all. (#195560, James Westby)
1527
1528
* ``merge --preview`` now works for merges that add or modify
1529
symlinks (James Henstridge)
1530
1531
* Redirecting the output from ``bzr merge`` (when the remembered
1532
location is used) now works. (John Arbash Meinel)
1533
1534
* setup.py script explicitly checks for Python version.
1535
(Jari Aalto, Alexander Belchenko, #200569)
1536
1537
* UnknownFormatErrors no longer refer to branches regardless of kind of
1538
unknown format. (Daniel Watkins, #173980)
1539
1540
* Upgrade bundled ConfigObj to version 4.5.2, which properly quotes #
1541
signs, among other small improvements. (Matt Nordhoff, #86838)
1542
1543
* Use correct indices when emitting LCA conflicts. This fixes IndexError
1544
errors. (Aaron Bentley, #196780)
1545
1546
DOCUMENTATION:
1547
1548
* Explained how to use ``version-info --custom`` in the User Guide.
1549
(Neil Martinsen-Burrell)
1550
1551
API BREAKS:
1552
1553
* Support for loading plugins from zip files and
1554
``bzrlib.plugin.load_from_zip()`` function are deprecated.
1555
(Alexander Belchenko)
1556
1557
TESTING:
1558
1559
* Added missing blackbox tests for ``modified`` (Adrian Wilkins)
1560
1561
* The branch interface tests were invalid for branches using rich-root
1562
repositories because the empty string is not a valid file-id.
1563
(Robert Collins)
1564
1565
INTERNALS:
1566
1567
* ``Graph.iter_ancestry`` returns the ancestry of revision ids. Similar to
1568
``Repository.get_revision_graph()`` except it includes ghosts and you can
1569
stop part-way through. (John Arbash Meinel)
1570
1571
* New module ``tools/package_mf.py`` provide custom module finder for
1572
python packages (improves standard python library's modulefinder.py)
1573
used by ``setup.py`` script while building standalone bzr.exe.
1574
(Alexander Belchenko)
1575
1576
* New remote method ``RemoteBzrDir.find_repositoryV2`` adding support for
1577
detecting external lookup support on remote repositories. This method is
1578
now attempted first when lookup up repositories, leading to an extra
1579
round trip on older bzr smart servers. (Robert Collins)
1580
1581
* Repository formats have a new supported-feature attribute
1582
``supports_external_lookups`` used to indicate repositories which support
1583
falling back to other repositories when they have partial data.
1584
(Robert Collins)
1585
1586
* ``Repository.get_revision_graph_with_ghosts`` and
1587
``bzrlib.revision.(common_ancestor,MultipleRevisionSources,common_graph)``
1588
have been deprecated. (John Arbash Meinel)
1589
1590
* ``Tree.iter_changes`` is now a public API, replacing the work-in-progress
1591
``Tree._iter_changes``. The api is now considered stable and ready for
1592
external users. (Aaron Bentley)
1593
1594
* The bzrdir format registry now accepts an ``alias`` keyword to
1595
register_metadir, used to indicate that a format name is an alias for
1596
some other format and thus should not be reported when describing the
1597
format. (Robert Collins)

1601

1609
---------------------
1610
1611
NOTES WHEN UPGRADING:
1612
1613
* Fetching via the smart protocol may need to reconnect once during a fetch
1614
if the remote server is running Bazaar 1.1 or earlier, because the client
1615
attempts to use more efficient requests that confuse older servers. You
1616
may be required to re-enter a password or passphrase when this happens.
1617
This won't happen if the server is upgraded to Bazaar 1.2.
1618
(Andrew Bennetts)
1619
1620
CHANGES:
1621
1622
* Fetching via bzr+ssh will no longer fill ghosts by default (this is
1623
consistent with pack-0.92 fetching over SFTP). (Robert Collins)
1624
1625
* Formatting of ``bzr plugins`` output is changed to be more human-
1626
friendly. Full path of plugins locations will be shown only with
1627
``--verbose`` command-line option. (Alexander Belchenko)
1628
1629
* ``merge`` now prefers to use the submit branch, but will fall back to
1630
parent branch. For many users, this has no effect. But some users who
1631
pull and merge on the same branch will notice a change. This change
1632
makes it easier to work on a branch on two different machines, pulling
1633
between the machines, while merging from the upstream.
1634
``merge --remember`` can now be used to set the submit_branch.
1635
(Aaron Bentley)
1636
1637
FEATURES:
1638
1639
* ``merge --preview`` produces a diff of the changes merge would make,
1640
but does not actually perform the merge. (Aaron Bentley)
1641
1642
* New smart method ``Repository.get_parent_map`` for getting revision
1643
parent data. This returns additional parent information topologically
1644
adjacent to the requested data to reduce round trip latency impacts.
1645
(Robert Collins)
1646
1647
* New smart method, ``Repository.stream_revisions_chunked``, for fetching
1648
revision data that streams revision data via a chunked encoding. This
1649
avoids buffering large amounts of revision data on the server and on the
1650
client, and sends less data to the server to request the revisions.
1651
(Andrew Bennetts, Robert Collins, #178353)
1652
1653
* The launchpad plugin now handles lp urls of the form
1654
``lp://staging/``, ``lp://demo/``, ``lp://dev/`` to use the appropriate
1655
launchpad instance to do the resolution of the branch identities.
1656
This is primarily of use to Launchpad developers, but can also
1657
be used by other users who want to try out Launchpad as
1658
a branch location without messing up their public Launchpad
1659
account. Branches that are pushed to the staging environment
1660
have an expected lifetime of one day. (Tim Penhey)
1661
1662
IMPROVEMENTS:
1663
1664
* Creating a new branch no longer tries to read the entire revision-history
1665
unnecessarily over smart server operations. (Robert Collins)
1666
1667
* Fetching between different repository formats with compatible models now
1668
takes advantage of the smart method to stream revisions. (Andrew Bennetts)
1669
1670
* The ``--coverage`` option is now global, rather specific to ``bzr
1671
selftest``. (Andrew Bennetts)
1672
1673
* The ``register-branch`` command will now use the public url of the branch
1674
containing the current directory, if one has been set and no explicit
1675
branch is provided. (Robert Collins)
1676
1677
* Tweak the ``reannotate`` code path to optimize the 2-parent case.
1678
Speeds up ``bzr annotate`` with a pack repository by approx 3:2.
1679
(John Arbash Meinel)
1680
1681
BUGFIXES:
1682
1683
* Calculate remote path relative to the shared medium in _SmartClient. This
1684
is related to the problem in bug #124089. (Andrew Bennetts)
1685
1686
* Cleanly handle connection errors in smart protocol version two, the same
1687
way as they are handled by version one. (Andrew Bennetts)
1688
1689
* Clearer error when ``version-info --custom`` is used without
1690
``--template`` (Lukáš Lalinský)
1691
1692
* Don't raise UnavailableFeature during test setup when medusa is not
1693
available or tearDown is never called leading to nasty side effects.
1694
(#137823, Vincent Ladeuil)
1695
1696
* If a plugin's test suite cannot be loaded, for example because of a syntax
1697
error in the tests, then ``selftest`` fails, rather than just printing
1698
a warning. (Martin Pool, #189771)
1699
1700
* List possible values for BZR_SSH environment variable in env-variables
1701
help topic. (Alexander Belchenko, #181842)
1702
1703
* New methods ``push_log_file`` and ``pop_log_file`` to intercept messages:
1704
popping the log redirection now precisely restores the previous state,
1705
which makes it easier to use bzr log output from other programs.
1706
TestCaseInTempDir no longer depends on a log redirection being established
1707
by the test framework, which lets bzr tests cleanly run from a normal
1708
unittest runner.
1709
(#124153, #124849, Martin Pool, Jonathan Lange)
1710
1711
* ``pull --quiet`` is now more quiet, in particular a message is no longer
1712
printed when the remembered pull location is used. (James Westby,
1713
#185907)
1714
1715
* ``reconfigure`` can safely be interrupted while fetching.
1716
(Aaron Bentley, #179316)
1717
1718
* ``reconfigure`` preserves tags when converting to and from lightweight
1719
checkouts. (Aaron Bentley, #182040)
1720
1721
* Stop polluting /tmp when running selftest.
1722
(Vincent Ladeuil, #123623)
1723
1724
* Switch from NFKC => NFC for normalization checks. NFC allows a few
1725
more characters which should be considered valid.
1726
(John Arbash Meinel, #185458)
1727
1728
* The launchpad plugin now uses the ``edge`` xmlrpc server to avoid
1729
interacting badly with a bug on the launchpad side. (Robert Collins)
1730
1731
* Unknown hostnames when connecting to a ``bzr://`` URL no longer cause
1732
tracebacks. (Andrew Bennetts, #182849)
1733
1734
API BREAKS:
1735
1736
* Classes implementing Merge types like Merge3Merger must now accept (and
1737
honour) a do_merge flag in their constructor. (Aaron Bentley)
1738
1739
* ``Repository.add_inventory`` and ``add_revision`` now require the caller
1740
to previously take a write lock (and start a write group.)
1741
(Martin Pool)
1742
1743
TESTING:
1744
1745
* selftest now accepts --load-list <file> to load a test id list. This
1746
speeds up running the test suite on a limited set of tests.
1747
(Vincent Ladeuil)
1748
1749
INTERNALS:
1750
1751
* Add a new method ``get_result`` to graph search objects. The resulting
1752
``SearchResult`` can be used to recreate the search later, which will
1753
be useful in reducing network traffic. (Robert Collins)
1754
1755
* Use convenience function to check whether two repository handles
1756
are referring to the same repository in ``Repository.get_graph``.
1757
(Jelmer Vernooij, #187162)
1758
1759
* Fetching now passes the find_ghosts flag through to the
1760
``InterRepository.missing_revision_ids`` call consistently for all
1761
repository types. This will enable faster missing revision discovery with
1762
bzr+ssh. (Robert Collins)
1763
1764
* Fix error handling in Repository.insert_data_stream. (Lukas Lalinsky)
1765
1766
* ``InterRepository.missing_revision_ids`` is now deprecated in favour of
1767
``InterRepository.search_missing_revision_ids`` which returns a
1768
``bzrlib.graph.SearchResult`` suitable for making requests from the smart
1769
server. (Robert Collins)
1770
1771
* New error ``NoPublicBranch`` for commands that need a public branch to
1772
operate. (Robert Collins)
1773
1774
* New method ``iter_inventories`` on Repository for access to many
1775
inventories. This is primarily used by the ``revision_trees`` method, as
1776
direct access to inventories is discouraged. (Robert Collins)
1777
1778
* New method ``next_with_ghosts`` on the Graph breadth-first-search objects
1779
which will split out ghosts and present parents into two separate sets,
1780
useful for code which needs to be aware of ghosts (e.g. fetching data
1781
cares about ghosts during revision selection). (Robert Collins)
1782
1783
* Record a timestamp against each mutter to the trace file, relative to the
1784
first import of bzrlib. (Andrew Bennetts)
1785
1786
* ``Repository.get_data_stream`` is now deprecated in favour of
1787
``Repository.get_data_stream_for_search`` which allows less network
1788
traffic when requesting data streams over a smart server. (Robert Collins)
1789
1790
* ``RemoteBzrDir._get_tree_branch`` no longer triggers ``_ensure_real``,
1791
removing one round trip on many network operations. (Robert Collins)
1792
1793
* RemoteTransport's ``recommended_page_size`` method now returns 64k, like
1794
SFTPTransport and HttpTransportBase. (Andrew Bennetts)
1795
1796
* Repository has a new method ``has_revisions`` which signals the presence
1797
of many revisions by returning a set of the revisions listed which are
1798
present. This can be done by index queries without reading data for parent
1799
revision names etc. (Robert Collins)

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

1882
repository. (Aaron Bentley, #177592)
1883

(Aaron Bentley)
1903
1904
* ``merge --weave --uncommitted`` now works. (Aaron Bentley)
1905

1916
* Reduce lockdir timeout to 0 when running ``bzr serve``. (Andrew Bennetts,
1917
#148087)
1918
1919
* Test that the old ``version_info_format`` functions still work, even
1920
though they are deprecated. (John Arbash Meinel, ShenMaq, #177872)
1921
1922
* Transform failures no longer cause ImmortalLimbo errors (Aaron Bentley,
1923
#137681)

1936
(Ian Clatworthy)
1937
1938
* Reference material has now be moved out of the User Guide and added
1939
to the User Reference. The User Reference has gained 4 sections as
1940
a result: Authenication Settings, Configuration Settings, Conflicts
1941
and Hooks. All help topics are now dumped into text format in the
1942
doc/en/user-reference directory for those who like browsing that
1943
information in their editor. (Ian Clatworthy)
1944
1945
* *Using Bazaar with Launchpad* tutorial added. (Ian Clatworthy)
1946
1947

1954
1955
* get_parent_map now always provides tuples as its output. (Aaron Bentley)
1956
1957
* Parent Providers should now implement ``get_parent_map`` returning a
1958
dictionary instead of ``get_parents`` returning a list.
1959
``Graph.get_parents`` is now deprecated. (John Arbash Meinel,
1960
Robert Collins)
1961
1962
* Patience Diff now supports arbitrary python objects, as long as they
1963
support ``hash()``. (John Arbash Meinel)
1964
1965
* Reduce selftest overhead to establish test names by memoization.

TESTING:
1971
1972
* Modules can now customise their tests by defining a ``load_tests``

attribute. ``pydoc bzrlib.tests.TestUtil.TestLoader.loadTestsFromModule``
1974
for the documentation on this attribute. (Robert Collins)
1975
1976
* New helper function ``bzrlib.tests.condition_id_re`` which helps
1977
filter tests based on a regular expression search on the tests id.
1978
(Robert Collins)
1979
1980
* New helper function ``bzrlib.tests.condition_isinstance`` which helps
1981
filter tests based on class. (Robert Collins)
1982

1984
generalises the ``exclude_suite_by_re`` function. (Robert Collins)
1985
1986
* New helper function ``bzrlib.tests.filter_suite_by_condition`` which
1987
generalises the ``filter_suite_by_re`` function. (Robert Collins)
1988
1989
* New helper method ``bzrlib.tests.exclude_tests_by_re`` which gives a new
1990
TestSuite that does not contain tests from the input that matched a
1991
regular expression. (Robert Collins)
1992
1993
* New helper method ``bzrlib.tests.randomize_suite`` which returns a
1994
randomized copy of the input suite. (Robert Collins)
1995

BUGFIXES:
2038
2039
* Fix Makefile rules for doc generation. (Ian Clatworthy, #175207)
2040
2041
* Give more feedback during long http downloads by making readv deliver data
2042
as it arrives for urllib, and issue more requests for pycurl. High latency
2043
networks are better handled by urllib, the pycurl implementation give more
2044
feedback but also incur more latency.
2045
(Vincent Ladeuil, #173010)
2046
2047

INTERNALS:
2058
2059
* readv urllib http implementation is now a real iterator above the

IMPROVEMENTS:
2069
2070
* Added a --coverage option to selftest. (Andrew Bennetts)
2071
2072
* Annotate merge (merge-type=weave) now supports cherrypicking.
2073
(Aaron Bentley)
2074
2075
* ``bzr commit`` now doesn't print the revision number twice. (Matt
2076
Nordhoff, #172612)
2077
2078
* New configuration option ``bugtracker_<tracker_abbrevation>_url`` to
2079
define locations of bug trackers that are not directly supported by
2080
bzr or a plugin. The URL will be treated as a template and ``{id}``
2081
placeholders will be replaced by specific bug IDs. (Lukáš Lalinský)
2082
2083
* Support logging single merge revisions with short and line log formatters.
2084
(Kent Gibson)
2085
2086
* User Guide enhanced with suggested readability improvements from
2087
Matt Revell and corrections from John Arbash Meinel. (Ian Clatworthy)
2088
2089
* Quick Start Guide renamed to Quick Start Card, moved down in
2090
the catalog, provided in pdf and png format and updated to refer
2091
to ``send`` instead of ``bundle``. (Ian Clatworthy, #165080)
2092
2093
* ``switch`` can now be used on heavyweight checkouts as well as
2094
lightweight ones. After switching a heavyweight checkout, the
2095
local branch is a mirror/cache of the new bound branch and
2096
uncommitted changes in the working tree are merged. As a safety
2097
check, if there are local commits in a checkout which have not
2098
been committed to the previously bound branch, then ``switch``
2099
fails unless the ``--force`` option is given. This option is
2100
now also required if the branch a lightweight checkout is pointing
2101
to has been moved. (Ian Clatworthy)
2102
2103
INTERNALS:
2104
2105
* New -Dhttp debug option reports http connections, requests and responses.

2109
2110
BUGFIXES:

* Better error message when running ``bzr cat`` on a non-existant branch.
2113
(Lukáš Lalinský, #133782)
2114
2115
* Catch OSError 17 (file exists) in final phase of tree transform and show
2116
filename to user.
2117
(Alexander Belchenko, #111758)
2118
2119
* Catch ShortReadvErrors while using pycurl. Also make readv more robust by
2120
allowing multiple GET requests to be issued if too many ranges are
2121
required.
2122
(Vincent Ladeuil, #172701)
2123
2124
* Check for missing basis texts when fetching from packs to packs.
2125
(John Arbash Meinel, #165290)
2126
2127
* Fall back to showing e-mail in ``log --short/--line`` if the
2128
committer/author has only e-mail. (Lukáš Lalinský, #157026)
2129
2130
API BREAKS:

2137
---------------------

2139
NOTES WHEN UPGRADING:
2140
2141
* The default repository format is now ``pack-0.92``. This
2142
default is used when creating new repositories with ``init`` and
2143
``init-repo``, and when branching over bzr+ssh or bzr+hpss.
2144
(See https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/164626)
2145
2146
This format can be read and written by Bazaar 0.92 and later, and
2147
data can be transferred to and from older formats.
2148
2149
To upgrade, please reconcile your repository (``bzr reconcile``), and then
2150
upgrade (``bzr upgrade``).
2151
2152
``pack-0.92`` offers substantially better scaling and performance than the
2153
previous knits format. Some operations are slower where the code already
2154
had bad scaling characteristics under knits, the pack format makes such
2155
operations more visible as part of being more scalable overall. We will
2156
correct such operations over the coming releases and encourage the filing
2157
of bugs on any operation which you observe to be slower in a packs
2158
repository. One particular case that we do not intend to fix is pulling
2159
data from a pack repository into a knit repository over a high latency
2160
link; downgrading such data requires reinsertion of the file texts, and
2161
this is a classic space/time tradeoff. The current implementation is
2162
conservative on memory usage because we need to support converting data
2163
from any tree without problems.
2164
(Robert Collins, Martin Pool, #164476)
2165
2166
CHANGES:
2167
2168
* Disable detection of plink.exe as possible ssh vendor. Plink vendor
2169
still available if user selects it explicitly with BZR_SSH environment
2170
variable. (Alexander Belchenko, workaround for bug #107593)
2171
2172
* The pack format is now accessible as "pack-0.92", or "pack-0.92-subtree"
2173
to enable the subtree functions (for example, for bzr-svn).
2174
See http://doc.bazaar-vcs.org/latest/developer/packrepo.html
2175
(Martin Pool)
2176
2177
FEATURES:
2178
2179
* New ``authentication.conf`` file holding the password or other credentials
2180
for remote servers. This can be used for ssh, sftp, smtp and other
2181
supported transports.
2182
(Vincent Ladeuil)
2183
2184
* New rich-root and rich-root-pack formats, recording the same data about
2185
tree roots that's recorded for all other directories.
2186
(Aaron Bentley, #164639)
2187
2188
* ``pack-0.92`` repositories can now be reconciled.
2189
(Robert Collins, #154173)
2190
2191
* ``switch`` command added for changing the branch a lightweight checkout
2192
is associated with and updating the tree to reflect the latest content
2193
accordingly. This command was previously part of the BzrTools plug-in.
2194
(Ian Clatworthy, Aaron Bentley, David Allouche)
2195
2196
* ``reconfigure`` command can now convert branches, trees, or checkouts to
2197
lightweight checkouts. (Aaron Bentley)
2198
2199
PERFORMANCE:
2200
2201
* Commit updates the state of the working tree via a delta rather than
2202
supplying entirely new basis trees. For commit of a single specified file
2203
this reduces the wall clock time for commit by roughly a 30%.
2204
(Robert Collins, Martin Pool)
2205
2206
* Commit with many automatically found deleted paths no longer performs
2207
linear scanning for the children of those paths during inventory
2208
iteration. This should fix commit performance blowing out when many such
2209
paths occur during commit. (Robert Collins, #156491)
2210
2211
* Fetch with pack repositories will no longer read the entire history graph.
2212
(Robert Collins, #88319)
2213
2214
* Revert takes out an appropriate lock when reverting to a basis tree, and
2215
does not read the basis inventory twice. (Robert Collins)
2216
2217
* Diff does not require an inventory to be generated on dirstate trees.
2218
(Aaron Bentley, #149254)
2219
2220
* New annotate merge (--merge-type=weave) implementation is fast on
2221
versionedfiles withough cached annotations, e.g. pack-0.92.
2222
(Aaron Bentley)
2223
2224
IMPROVEMENTS:
2225
2226
* ``bzr merge`` now warns when it encounters a criss-cross merge.
2227
(Aaron Bentley)
2228
2229
* ``bzr send`` now doesn't require the target e-mail address to be
2230
specified on the command line if an interactive e-mail client is used.
2231
(Lukáš Lalinský)
2232
2233
* ``bzr tags`` now prints the revision number for each tag, instead of
2234
the revision id, unless --show-ids is passed. In addition, tags can be
2235
sorted chronologically instead of lexicographically with --sort=time.
2236
(Adeodato Simó, #120231)
2237
2238
* Windows standalone version of bzr is able to load system-wide plugins from
2239
"plugins" subdirectory in installation directory. In addition standalone
2240
installer write to the registry (HKLM\SOFTWARE\Bazaar) useful info
2241
about paths and bzr version. (Alexander Belchenko, #129298)

2251
format. (Andrew Bennetts, #164626)
2252
2253
* ``commit`` is now able to invoke an external editor in a non-ascii
2254
directory. (Daniel Watkins, #84043)
2255
2256
* Catch connection errors for ftp.
2257
(Vincent Ladeuil, #164567)
2258
2259
* ``check`` no longer reports spurious unreferenced text versions.
2260
(Robert Collins, John A Meinel, #162931, #165071)
2261
2262
* Conflicts are now resolved recursively by ``revert``.

(Aaron Bentley)
2270
2271
* Do no use timeout in HttpServer anymore.
2272
(Vincent Ladeuil, #158972).

* Don't catch the exceptions related to the http pipeline status before
2275
retrying an http request or some programming errors may be masked.
2276
(Vincent Ladeuil, #160012)
2277

2282
formatter doesn't support merge revisions. (Kent Gibson, #148908)
2283
2284
* Fix exception when ScopeReplacer is assigned to before any members have
2285
been retrieved. (Aaron Bentley)
2286
2287
* Fix multiple connections during checkout --lightweight.
2288
(Vincent Ladeuil, #159150)
2289
2290
* Fix possible error in insert_data_stream when copying between
2291
pack repositories over bzr+ssh or bzr+http.
2292
KnitVersionedFile.get_data_stream now makes sure that requested
2293
compression parents are sent before any delta hunks that depend
2294
on them.
2295
(Martin Pool, #164637)
2296
2297

2298
whole files being downloaded instead of parts.
2299
(Vincent Ladeuil, #165061)
2300
2301
* FTP server errors don't error in the error handling code.
2302
(Robert Collins, #161240)
2303
2304
* Give a clearer message when a pull fails because the source needs
2305
to be reconciled.
2306
(Martin Pool, #164443)
2307
2308
* It is clearer when a plugin cannot be loaded because of its name, and a
2309
suggestion for an acceptable name is given. (Daniel Watkins, #103023)
2310
2311
* Leave port as None in transport objects if user doesn't
2312
specify a port in urls.
2313
(vincent Ladeuil, #150860)
2314
2315
* Make sure Repository.fetch(self) is properly a no-op for all
2316
Repository implementations. (John Arbash Meinel, #158333)
2317
2318
* Mark .bzr directories as "hidden" on Windows.
2319
(Alexander Belchenko, #71147)

2330
2331
* Reconcile now shows progress bars. (Robert Collins, #159351)
2332
2333
* ``RemoteBranch`` was not initializing ``self._revision_id_to_revno_map``
2334
properly. (John Arbash Meinel, #162486)
2335
2336
* Removing an already-removed file reports the file does not exist. (Daniel
2337
Watkins, #152811)
2338
2339
* Rename on Windows is able to change filename case.
2340
(Alexander Belchenko, #77740)
2341
2342
* Return error instead of a traceback for ``bzr log -r0``.
2343
(Kent Gibson, #133751)
2344
2345
* Return error instead of a traceback when bzr is unable to create
2346
symlink on some platforms (e.g. on Windows).
2347
(Alexander Belchenko, workaround for #81689)
2348
2349
* Revert doesn't crash when restoring a single file from a deleted
2350
directory. (Aaron Bentley)
2351
2352
* Stderr output via logging mechanism now goes through encoded wrapper
2353
and no more uses utf-8, but terminal encoding instead. So all unicode
2354
strings now should be readable in non-utf-8 terminal.
2355
(Alexander Belchenko, #54173)
2356
2357
* The error message when ``move --after`` should be used makes how to do so
2358
clearer. (Daniel Watkins, #85237)
2359
2360
* Unicode-safe output from ``bzr info``. The output will be encoded
2361
using the terminal encoding and unrepresentable characters will be
2362
replaced by '?'. (Lukáš Lalinský, #151844)
2363
2364
* Working trees are no longer created when pushing into a local no-trees
2365
repo. (Daniel Watkins, #50582)
2366
2367
* Upgrade util/configobj to version 4.4.0.
2368
(Vincent Ladeuil, #151208).
2369
2370
* Wrap medusa ftp test server as an FTPServer feature.
2371
(Vincent Ladeuil, #157752)
2372
2373
API BREAKS:
2374
2375
* ``osutils.backup_file`` is deprecated. Actually it's not used in bzrlib
2376
during very long time. (Alexander Belchenko)
2377
2378
* The return value of
2379
``VersionedFile.iter_lines_added_or_present_in_versions`` has been
2380
changed. Previously it was an iterator of lines, now it is an iterator of
2381
(line, version_id) tuples. This change has been made to aid reconcile and
2382
fetch operations. (Robert Collins)
2383
2384
* ``bzrlib.repository.get_versioned_file_checker`` is now private.
2385
(Robert Collins)
2386
2387
* The Repository format registry default has been removed; it was previously
2388
obsoleted by the bzrdir format default, which implies a default repository
2389
format.
2390
(Martin Pool)
2391
2392
INTERNALS:
2393
2394
* Added ``ContainerSerialiser`` and ``ContainerPushParser`` to
2395
``bzrlib.pack``. These classes provide more convenient APIs for generating
2396
and parsing containers from streams rather than from files. (Andrew
2397
Bennetts)
2398
2399
* New module ``lru_cache`` providing a cache for use by tasks that need
2400
semi-random access to large amounts of data. (John A Meinel)
2401
2402
* InventoryEntry.diff is now deprecated. Please use diff.DiffTree instead.

2418
NOTES WHEN UPGRADING:
2419
2420
CHANGES:
2421
2422
* ``bzr`` now returns exit code 4 if an internal error occurred, and
2423
3 if a normal error occurred. (Martin Pool)
2424
2425
* ``pull``, ``merge`` and ``push`` will no longer silently correct some
2426
repository index errors that occured as a result of the Weave disk format.
2427
Instead the ``reconcile`` command needs to be run to correct those
2428
problems if they exist (and it has been able to fix most such problems
2429
since bzr 0.8). Some new problems have been identified during this release
2430
and you should run ``bzr check`` once on every repository to see if you
2431
need to reconcile. If you cannot ``pull`` or ``merge`` from a remote
2432
repository due to mismatched parent errors - a symptom of index errors -
2433
you should simply take a full copy of that remote repository to a clean
2434
directory outside any local repositories, then run reconcile on it, and
2435
finally pull from it locally. (And naturally email the repositories owner
2436
to ask them to upgrade and run reconcile).
2437
(Robert Collins)
2438
2439
FEATURES:
2440
2441
* New ``knitpack-experimental`` repository format. This is interoperable with
2442
the ``dirstate-tags`` format but uses a smarter storage design that greatly
2443
speeds up many operations, both local and remote. This new format can be
2444
used as an option to the ``init``, ``init-repository`` and ``upgrade``
2445
commands. See http://doc.bazaar-vcs.org/0.92/developers/knitpack.html
2446
for further details. (Robert Collins)
2447
2448
* For users of bzr-svn (and those testing the prototype subtree support) that
2449
wish to try packs, a new ``knitpack-subtree-experimental`` format has also
2450
been added. This is interoperable with the ``dirstate-subtrees`` format.
2451
(Robert Collins)
2452
2453
* New ``reconfigure`` command. (Aaron Bentley)
2454
2455
* New ``revert --forget-merges`` command, which removes the record of a pending
2456
merge without affecting the working tree contents. (Martin Pool)
2457
2458
* New ``bzr_remote_path`` configuration variable allows finer control of
2459
remote bzr locations than BZR_REMOTE_PATH environment variable.
2460
(Aaron Bentley)
2461
2462
* New ``launchpad-login`` command to tell Bazaar your Launchpad
2463
user ID. This can then be used by other functions of the
2464
Launchpad plugin. (James Henstridge)
2465
2466
PERFORMANCE:
2467
2468
* Commit in quiet mode is now slightly faster as the information to
2469
output is no longer calculated. (Ian Clatworthy)
2470
2471
* Commit no longer checks for new text keys during insertion when the
2472
revision id was deterministically unique. (Robert Collins)
2473
2474
* Committing a change which is not a merge and does not change the number of
2475
files in the tree is faster by utilising the data about whether files are
2476
changed to determine if the tree is unchanged rather than recalculating
2477
it at the end of the commit process. (Robert Collins)
2478
2479
* Inventory serialisation no longer double-sha's the content.
2480
(Robert Collins)
2481
2482
* Knit text reconstruction now avoids making copies of the lines list for
2483
interim texts when building a single text. The new ``apply_delta`` method
2484
on ``KnitContent`` aids this by allowing modification of the revision id
2485
such objects represent. (Robert Collins)
2486
2487
* Pack indices are now partially parsed for specific key lookup using a
2488
bisection approach. (Robert Collins)
2489
2490
* Partial commits are now approximately 40% faster by walking over the
2491
unselected current tree more efficiently. (Robert Collins)
2492
2493
* XML inventory serialisation takes 20% less time while being stricter about
2494
the contents. (Robert Collins)
2495
2496
* Graph ``heads()`` queries have been fixed to no longer access all history
2497
unnecessarily. (Robert Collins)
2498
2499
IMPROVEMENTS:
2500
2501
* ``bzr+https://`` smart server across https now supported.
2502
(John Ferlito, Martin Pool, #128456)
2503
2504
* Mutt is now a supported mail client; set ``mail_client=mutt`` in your
2505
bazaar.conf and ``send`` will use mutt. (Keir Mierle)
2506
2507
* New option ``-c``/``--change`` for ``merge`` command for cherrypicking
2508
changes from one revision. (Alexander Belchenko, #141368)
2509
2510
* Show encodings, locale and list of plugins in the traceback message.
2511
(Martin Pool, #63894)
2512
2513
* Experimental directory formats can now be marked with
2514
``experimental = True`` during registration. (Ian Clatworthy)
2515
2516
DOCUMENTATION:
2517
2518
* New *Bazaar in Five Minutes* guide. (Matthew Revell)
2519
2520
* The hooks reference documentation is now converted to html as expected.
2521
(Ian Clatworthy)
2522
2523
BUG FIXES:
2524
2525
* Connection error reporting for the smart server has been fixed to
2526
display a user friendly message instead of a traceback.
2527
(Ian Clatworthy, #115601)
2528
2529
* Make sure to use ``O_BINARY`` when opening files to check their
2530
sha1sum. (Alexander Belchenko, John Arbash Meinel, #153493)
2531
2532
* Fix a problem with Win32 handling of the executable bit.
2533
(John Arbash Meinel, #149113)
2534
2535
* ``bzr+ssh://`` and ``sftp://`` URLs that do not specify ports explicitly
2536
no longer assume that means port 22. This allows people using OpenSSH to
2537
override the default port in their ``~/.ssh/config`` if they wish. This
2538
fixes a bug introduced in bzr 0.91. (Andrew Bennetts, #146715)
2539
2540
* Commands reporting exceptions can now be profiled and still have their
2541
data correctly dumped to a file. For example, a ``bzr commit`` with
2542
no changes still reports the operation as pointless but doing so no
2543
longer throws away the profiling data if this command is run with
2544
``--lsprof-file callgrind.out.ci`` say. (Ian Clatworthy)
2545
2546
* Fallback to ftp when paramiko is not installed and sftp can't be used for
2547
``tests/commands`` so that the test suite is still usable without
2548
paramiko.
2549
(Vincent Ladeuil, #59150)
2550
2551
* Fix commit ordering in corner case. (Aaron Bentley, #94975)
2552
2553
* Fix long standing bug in partial commit when there are renames
2554
left in tree. (Robert Collins, #140419)
2555
2556
* Fix selftest semi-random noise during http related tests.
2557
(Vincent Ladeuil, #140614)
2558
2559
* Fix typo in ftp.py making the reconnection fail on temporary errors.
2560
(Vincent Ladeuil, #154259)
2561
2562
* Fix failing test by comparing real paths to cover the case where the TMPDIR
2563
contains a symbolic link.
2564
(Vincent Ladeuil, #141382).
2565
2566
* Fix log against smart server branches that don't support tags.
2567
(James Westby, #140615)
2568
2569
* Fix pycurl http implementation by defining error codes from
2570
pycurl instead of relying on an old curl definition.
2571
(Vincent Ladeuil, #147530)
2572
2573
* Fix 'unprintable error' message when displaying BzrCheckError and
2574
some other exceptions on Python 2.5.
2575
(Martin Pool, #144633)
2576
2577
* Fix ``Inventory.copy()`` and add test for it. (Jelmer Vernooij)
2578
2579
* Handles default value for ListOption in cmd_commit.
2580
(Vincent Ladeuil, #140432)
2581
2582
* HttpServer and FtpServer need to be closed properly or a listening socket
2583
will remain opened.
2584
(Vincent Ladeuil, #140055)
2585
2586
* Monitor the .bzr directory created in the top level test
2587
directory to detect leaking tests.
2588
(Vincent Ladeuil, #147986)
2589
2590
* The basename, not the full path, is now used when checking whether
2591
the profiling dump file begins with ``callgrind.out`` or not. This
2592
fixes a bug reported by Aaron Bentley on IRC. (Ian Clatworthy)
2593
2594
* Trivial fix for invoking command ``reconfigure`` without arguments.
2595
(Rob Weir, #141629)
2596
2597
* ``WorkingTree.rename_one`` will now raise an error if normalisation of the
2598
new path causes bzr to be unable to access the file. (Robert Collins)
2599
2600
* Correctly detect a NoSuchFile when using a filezilla server. (Gary van der
2601
Merwe)
2602
2603
API BREAKS:
2604
2605
* ``bzrlib.index.GraphIndex`` now requires a size parameter to the
2606
constructor, for enabling bisection searches. (Robert Collins)
2607
2608
* ``CommitBuilder.record_entry_contents`` now requires the root entry of a
2609
tree be supplied to it, previously failing to do so would trigger a
2610
deprecation warning. (Robert Collins)
2611
2612
* ``KnitVersionedFile.add*`` will no longer cache added records even when
2613
enable_cache() has been called - the caching feature is now exclusively for
2614
reading existing data. (Robert Collins)
2615
2616
* ``ReadOnlyLockError`` is deprecated; ``LockFailed`` is usually more
2617
appropriate. (Martin Pool)
2618
2619
* Removed ``bzrlib.transport.TransportLogger`` - please see the new
2620
``trace+`` transport instead. (Robert Collins)
2621
2622
* Removed previously deprecated varargs interface to ``TestCase.run_bzr`` and
2623
deprecated methods ``TestCase.capture`` and ``TestCase.run_bzr_captured``.
2624
(Martin Pool)
2625
2626
* Removed previous deprecated ``basis_knit`` parameter to the
2627
``KnitVersionedFile`` constructor. (Robert Collins)
2628
2629
* Special purpose method ``TestCase.run_bzr_decode`` is moved to the test_non_ascii
2630
class that needs it.
2631
(Martin Pool)
2632
2633
* The class ``bzrlib.repofmt.knitrepo.KnitRepository3`` has been folded into
2634
``KnitRepository`` by parameters to the constructor. (Robert Collins)
2635
2636
* The ``VersionedFile`` interface now allows content checks to be bypassed
2637
by supplying check_content=False. This saves nearly 30% of the minimum
2638
cost to store a version of a file. (Robert Collins)
2639
2640
* Tree's with bad state such as files with no length or sha will no longer
2641
be silently accepted by the repository XML serialiser. To serialise
2642
inventories without such data, pass working=True to write_inventory.
2643
(Robert Collins)
2644
2645
* ``VersionedFile.fix_parents`` has been removed as a harmful API.
2646
``VersionedFile.join`` will no longer accept different parents on either
2647
side of a join - it will either ignore them, or error, depending on the
2648
implementation. See notes when upgrading for more information.
2649
(Robert Collins)
2650
2651
INTERNALS:
2652
2653
* ``bzrlib.transport.Transport.put_file`` now returns the number of bytes
2654
put by the method call, to allow avoiding stat-after-write or
2655
housekeeping in callers. (Robert Collins)
2656
2657
* ``bzrlib.xml_serializer.Serializer`` is now responsible for checking that
2658
mandatory attributes are present on serialisation and deserialisation.
2659
This fixes some holes in API usage and allows better separation between
2660
physical storage and object serialisation. (Robert Collins)
2661
2662
* New class ``bzrlib.errors.InternalBzrError`` which is just a convenient
2663
shorthand for deriving from BzrError and setting internal_error = True.
2664
(Robert Collins)
2665
2666
* New method ``bzrlib.mutabletree.update_to_one_parent_via_delta`` for
2667
moving the state of a parent tree to a new version via a delta rather than
2668
a complete replacement tree. (Robert Collins)
2669
2670
* New method ``bzrlib.osutils.minimum_path_selection`` useful for removing
2671
duplication from user input, when a user mentions both a path and an item
2672
contained within that path. (Robert Collins)
2673
2674
* New method ``bzrlib.repository.Repository.is_write_locked`` useful for
2675
determining if a repository is write locked. (Robert Collins)
2676
2677
* New method on ``bzrlib.tree.Tree`` ``path_content_summary`` provides a
2678
tuple containing the key information about a path for commit processing
2679
to complete. (Robert Collins)
2680
2681
* New method on xml serialisers, write_inventory_to_lines, which matches the
2682
API used by knits for adding content. (Robert Collins)
2683
2684
* New module ``bzrlib.bisect_multi`` with generic multiple-bisection-at-once
2685
logic, currently only available for byte-based lookup
2686
(``bisect_multi_bytes``). (Robert Collins)
2687
2688
* New helper ``bzrlib.tuned_gzip.bytes_to_gzip`` which takes a byte string
2689
and returns a gzipped version of the same. This is used to avoid a bunch
2690
of api friction during adding of knit hunks. (Robert Collins)
2691
2692
* New parameter on ``bzrlib.transport.Transport.readv``
2693
``adjust_for_latency`` which changes readv from returning strictly the
2694
requested data to inserted return larger ranges and in forward read order
2695
to reduce the effect of network latency. (Robert Collins)
2696
2697
* New parameter yield_parents on ``Inventory.iter_entries_by_dir`` which
2698
causes the parents of a selected id to be returned recursively, so all the
2699
paths from the root down to each element of selected_file_ids are
2700
returned. (Robert Collins)
2701
2702
* Knit joining has been enhanced to support plain to annotated conversion
2703
and annotated to plain conversion. (Ian Clatworthy)
2704
2705
* The CommitBuilder method ``record_entry_contents`` now returns summary
2706
information about the effect of the commit on the repository. This tuple
2707
contains an inventory delta item if the entry changed from the basis, and a
2708
boolean indicating whether a new file graph node was recorded.
2709
(Robert Collins)
2710
2711
* The python path used in the Makefile can now be overridden.
2712
(Andrew Bennetts, Ian Clatworthy)
2713
2714
TESTING:
2715
2716
* New transport implementation ``trace+`` which is useful for testing,
2717
logging activity taken to its _activity attribute. (Robert Collins)
2718
2719
* When running bzr commands within the test suite, internal exceptions are
2720
not caught and reported in the usual way, but rather allowed to propagate
2721
up and be visible to the test suite. A new API ``run_bzr_catch_user_errors``
2722
makes this behavior available to other users.
2723
(Martin Pool)
2724
2725
* New method ``TestCase.call_catch_warnings`` for testing methods that
2726
raises a Python warning. (Martin Pool)
2727
2728
2729
bzr 0.91 2007-09-26
2730
-------------------
2731
2732
BUG FIXES:
2733
2734
* Print a warning instead of aborting the ``python setup.py install``
2735
process if building of a C extension is not possible.
2736
(Lukáš Lalinský, Alexander Belchenko)
2737
2738
* Fix commit ordering in corner case (Aaron Bentley, #94975)
2739
2740
* Fix ''bzr info bzr://host/'' and other operations on ''bzr://' URLs with
2741
an implicit port. We were incorrectly raising PathNotChild due to
2742
inconsistent treatment of the ''_port'' attribute on the Transport object.
2743
(Andrew Bennetts, #133965)
2744
2745
* Make RemoteRepository.sprout cope gracefully with servers that don't
2746
support the ``Repository.tarball`` request.
2747
(Andrew Bennetts)
2748
2749
2750
bzr 0.91rc2 2007-09-11
2751
----------------------
2752
2753
* Replaced incorrect tarball for previous release; a debug statement was left
2754
in bzrlib/remote.py.
2755
2756
2757
bzr 0.91rc1 2007-09-11
2758
----------------------
2759
2760
CHANGES:
2761
2762
* The default branch and repository format has changed to
2763
``dirstate-tags``, so tag commands are active by default.
2764
This format is compatible with Bazaar 0.15 and later.
2765
This incidentally fixes bug #126141.
2766
(Martin Pool)
2767
2768
* ``--quiet`` or ``-q`` is no longer a global option. If present, it
2769
must now appear after the command name. Scripts doing things like
2770
``bzr -q missing`` need to be rewritten as ``bzr missing -q``.
2771
(Ian Clatworthy)
2772
2773
FEATURES:
2774
2775
* New option ``--author`` in ``bzr commit`` to specify the author of the
2776
change, if it's different from the committer. ``bzr log`` and
2777
``bzr annotate`` display the author instead of the committer.
2778
(Lukáš Lalinský)
2779
2780
* In addition to global options and command specific options, a set of
2781
standard options are now supported. Standard options are legal for
2782
all commands. The initial set of standard options are:
2783
2784
* ``--help`` or ``-h`` - display help message
2785
* ``--verbose`` or ``-v`` - display additional information
2786
* ``--quiet`` or ``-q`` - only output warnings and errors.
2787
2788
Unlike global options, standard options can be used in aliases and
2789
may have command-specific help. (Ian Clatworthy)
2790
2791
* Verbosity level processing has now been unified. If ``--verbose``
2792
or ``-v`` is specified on the command line multiple times, the
2793
verbosity level is made positive the first time then increased.
2794
If ``--quiet`` or ``-q`` is specified on the command line
2795
multiple times, the verbosity level is made negative the first
2796
time then decreased. To get the default verbosity level of zero,
2797
either specify none of the above , ``--no-verbose`` or ``--no-quiet``.
2798
Note that most commands currently ignore the magnitude of the
2799
verbosity level but do respect *quiet vs normal vs verbose* when
2800
generating output. (Ian Clatworthy)
2801
2802
* ``Branch.hooks`` now supports ``pre_commit`` hook. The hook's signature
2803
is documented in BranchHooks constructor. (Nam T. Nguyen, #102747)
2804
2805
* New ``Repository.stream_knit_data_for_revisions`` request added to the
2806
network protocol for greatly reduced roundtrips when retrieving a set of
2807
revisions. (Andrew Bennetts)
2808
2809
BUG FIXES:
2810
2811
* ``bzr plugins`` now lists the version number for each plugin in square
2812
brackets after the path. (Robert Collins, #125421)
2813
2814
* Pushing, pulling and branching branches with subtree references was not
2815
copying the subtree weave, preventing the file graph from being accessed
2816
and causing errors in commits in clones. (Robert Collins)
2817
2818
* Suppress warning "integer argument expected, got float" from Paramiko,
2819
which sometimes caused false test failures. (Martin Pool)
2820
2821
* Fix bug in bundle 4 that could cause attempts to write data to wrong
2822
versionedfile. (Aaron Bentley)
2823
2824
* Diffs generated using "diff -p" no longer break the patch parser.
2825
(Aaron Bentley)
2826
2827
* get_transport treats an empty possible_transports list the same as a non-
2828
empty one. (Aaron Bentley)
2829
2830
* patch verification for merge directives is reactivated, and works with
2831
CRLF and CR files. (Aaron Bentley)
2832
2833
* Accept ..\ as a path in revision specifiers. This fixes for example
2834
"-r branch:..\other-branch" on Windows. (Lukáš Lalinský)
2835
2836
* ``BZR_PLUGIN_PATH`` may now contain trailing slashes.
2837
(Blake Winton, #129299)
2838
2839
* man page no longer lists hidden options (#131667, Aaron Bentley)
2840
2841
* ``uncommit --help`` now explains the -r option adequately. (Daniel
2842
Watkins, #106726)
2843
2844
* Error messages are now better formatted with parameters (such as
2845
filenames) quoted when necessary. This avoids confusion when directory
2846
names ending in a '.' at the end of messages were confused with a
2847
full stop that may or not have been there. (Daniel Watkins, #129791)
2848
2849
* Fix ``status FILE -r X..Y``. (Lukáš Lalinský)
2850
2851
* If a particular command is an alias, ``help`` will show the alias
2852
instead of claiming there is no help for said alias. (Daniel Watkins,
2853
#133548)
2854
2855
* TreeTransform-based operations, like pull, merge, revert, and branch,
2856
now roll back if they encounter an error. (Aaron Bentley, #67699)
2857
2858
* ``bzr commit`` now exits cleanly if a character unsupported by the
2859
current encoding is used in the commit message. (Daniel Watkins,
2860
#116143)
2861
2862
* bzr send uses default values for ranges when only half of an elipsis
2863
is specified ("-r..5" or "-r5.."). (#61685, Aaron Bentley)
2864
2865
* Avoid trouble when Windows ssh calls itself 'plink' but no plink
2866
binary is present. (Martin Albisetti, #107155)
2867
2868
* ``bzr remove`` should remove clean subtrees. Now it will remove (without
2869
needing ``--force``) subtrees that contain no files with text changes or
2870
modified files. With ``--force`` it removes the subtree regardless of
2871
text changes or unknown files. Directories with renames in or out (but
2872
not changed otherwise) will now be removed without needing ``--force``.
2873
Unknown ignored files will be deleted without needing ``--force``.
2874
(Marius Kruger, #111665)
2875
2876
* When two plugins conflict, the source of both the losing and now the
2877
winning definition is shown. (Konstantin Mikhaylov, #5454)
2878
2879
* When committing to a branch, the location being committed to is
2880
displayed. (Daniel Watkins, #52479)
2881
2882
* ``bzr --version`` takes care about encoding of stdout, especially
2883
when output is redirected. (Alexander Belchenko, #131100)
2884
2885
* Prompt for an ftp password if none is provided.
2886
(Vincent Ladeuil, #137044)
2887
2888
* Reuse bound branch associated transport to avoid multiple
2889
connections.
2890
(Vincent Ladeuil, #128076, #131396)
2891
2892
* Overwrite conflicting tags by ``push`` and ``pull`` if the
2893
``--overwrite`` option is specified. (Lukáš Lalinský, #93947)
2894
2895
* In checkouts, tags are copied into the master branch when created,
2896
changed or deleted, and are copied into the checkout when it is
2897
updated. (Martin Pool, #93856, #93860)
2898
2899
* Print a warning instead of aborting the ``python setup.py install``
2900
process if building of a C extension is not possible.
2901
(Lukáš Lalinský, Alexander Belchenko)
2902
2903
IMPROVEMENTS:
2904
2905
* Add the option "--show-diff" to the commit command in order to display
2906
the diff during the commit log creation. (Goffredo Baroncelli)
2907
2908
* ``pull`` and ``merge`` are much faster at installing bundle format 4.
2909
(Aaron Bentley)
2910
2911
* ``pull -v`` no longer includes deltas, making it much faster.
2912
(Aaron Bentley)
2913
2914
* ``send`` now sends the directive as an attachment by default.
2915
(Aaron Bentley, Lukáš Lalinský, Alexander Belchenko)
2916
2917
* Documentation updates (Martin Albisetti)
2918
2919
* Help on debug flags is now included in ``help global-options``.
2920
(Daniel Watkins, #124853)
2921
2922
* Parameters passed on the command line are checked to ensure they are
2923
supported by the encoding in use. (Daniel Watkins)
2924
2925
* The compression used within the bzr repository has changed from zlib
2926
level 9 to the zlib default level. This improves commit performance with
2927
only a small increase in space used (and in some cases a reduction in
2928
space). (Robert Collins)
2929
2930
* Initial commit no longer SHAs files twice and now reuses the path
2931
rather than looking it up again, making it faster.
2932
(Ian Clatworthy)
2933
2934
* New option ``-c``/``--change`` for ``diff`` and ``status`` to show
2935
changes in one revision. (Lukáš Lalinský)
2936
2937
* If versioned files match a given ignore pattern, a warning is now
2938
given. (Daniel Watkins, #48623)
2939
2940
* ``bzr status`` now has -S as a short name for --short and -V as a
2941
short name for --versioned. These have been added to assist users
2942
migrating from Subversion: ``bzr status -SV`` is now like
2943
``svn status -q``. (Daniel Watkins, #115990)
2944
2945
* Added C implementation of ``PatienceSequenceMatcher``, which is about
2946
10x faster than the Python version. This speeds up commands that
2947
need file diffing, such as ``bzr commit`` or ``bzr diff``.
2948
(Lukáš Lalinský)
2949
2950
* HACKING has been extended with a large section on core developer tasks.
2951
(Ian Clatworthy)
2952
2953
* Add ``branches`` and ``standalone-trees`` as online help topics and
2954
include them as Concepts within the User Reference.
2955
(Paul Moore, Ian Clatworthy)
2956
2957
* ``check`` can detect versionedfile parent references that are
2958
inconsistent with revision and inventory info, and ``reconcile`` can fix
2959
them. These faulty references were generated by 0.8-era releases,
2960
so repositories which were manipulated by old bzrs should be
2961
checked, and possibly reconciled ASAP. (Aaron Bentley, Andrew Bennetts)
2962
2963
API BREAKS:
2964
2965
* ``Branch.append_revision`` is removed altogether; please use
2966
``Branch.set_last_revision_info`` instead. (Martin Pool)
2967
2968
* CommitBuilder now advertises itself as requiring the root entry to be
2969
supplied. This only affects foreign repository implementations which reuse
2970
CommitBuilder directly and have changed record_entry_contents to require
2971
that the root not be supplied. This should be precisely zero plugins
2972
affected. (Robert Collins)
2973
2974
* The ``add_lines`` methods on ``VersionedFile`` implementations has changed
2975
its return value to include the sha1 and length of the inserted text. This
2976
allows the avoidance of double-sha1 calculations during commit.
2977
(Robert Collins)
2978
2979
* ``Transport.should_cache`` has been removed. It was not called in the
2980
previous release. (Martin Pool)
2981
2982
TESTING:
2983
2984
* Tests may now raise TestNotApplicable to indicate they shouldn't be
2985
run in a particular scenario. (Martin Pool)
2986
2987
* New function multiply_tests_from_modules to give a simpler interface
2988
to test parameterization. (Martin Pool, Robert Collins)
2989
2990
* ``Transport.should_cache`` has been removed. It was not called in the
2991
previous release. (Martin Pool)
2992
2993
* NULL_REVISION is returned to indicate the null revision, not None.
2994
(Aaron Bentley)
2995
2996
* Use UTF-8 encoded StringIO for log tests to avoid failures on
2997
non-ASCII committer names. (Lukáš Lalinský)
2998
2999
INTERNALS:
3000
3001
* ``bzrlib.plugin.all_plugins`` has been deprecated in favour of
3002
``bzrlib.plugin.plugins()`` which returns PlugIn objects that provide
3003
useful functionality for determining the path of a plugin, its tests, and
3004
its version information. (Robert Collins)
3005
3006
* Add the option user_encoding to the function 'show_diff_trees()'
3007
in order to move the user encoding at the UI level. (Goffredo Baroncelli)
3008
3009
* Add the function make_commit_message_template_encoded() and the function
3010
edit_commit_message_encoded() which handle encoded strings.
3011
This is done in order to mix the commit messages (which is a unicode
3012
string), and the diff which is a raw string. (Goffredo Baroncelli)
3013
3014
* CommitBuilder now defaults to using add_lines_with_ghosts, reducing
3015
overhead on non-weave repositories which don't require all parents to be
3016
present. (Robert Collins)
3017
3018
* Deprecated method ``find_previous_heads`` on
3019
``bzrlib.inventory.InventoryEntry``. This has been superseded by the use
3020
of ``parent_candidates`` and a separate heads check via the repository
3021
API. (Robert Collins)
3022
3023
* New trace function ``mutter_callsite`` will print out a subset of the
3024
stack to the log, which can be useful for gathering debug details.
3025
(Robert Collins)
3026
3027
* ``bzrlib.pack.ContainerWriter`` now tracks how many records have been
3028
added via a public attribute records_written. (Robert Collins)
3029
3030
* New method ``bzrlib.transport.Transport.get_recommended_page_size``.
3031
This provides a hint to users of transports as to the reasonable
3032
minimum data to read. In principle this can take latency and
3033
bandwidth into account on a per-connection basis, but for now it
3034
just has hard coded values based on the url. (e.g. http:// has a large
3035
page size, file:// has a small one.) (Robert Collins)
3036
3037
* New method on ``bzrlib.transport.Transport`` ``open_write_stream`` allows
3038
incremental addition of data to a file without requiring that all the
3039
data be buffered in memory. (Robert Collins)
3040
3041
* New methods on ``bzrlib.knit.KnitVersionedFile``:
3042
``get_data_stream(versions)``, ``insert_data_stream(stream)`` and
3043
``get_format_signature()``. These provide some infrastructure for
3044
efficiently streaming the knit data for a set of versions over the smart
3045
protocol.
3046
3047
* Knits with no annotation cache still produce correct annotations.
3048
(Aaron Bentley)
3049
3050
* Three new methods have been added to ``bzrlib.trace``:
3051
``set_verbosity_level``, ``get_verbosity_level`` and ``is_verbose``.
3052
``set_verbosity_level`` expects a numeric value: negative for quiet,
3053
zero for normal, positive for verbose. The size of the number can be
3054
used to determine just how quiet or verbose the application should be.
3055
The existing ``be_quiet`` and ``is_quiet`` routines have been
3056
integrated into this new scheme. (Ian Clatworthy)
3057
3058
* Options can now be delcared with a ``custom_callback`` parameter. If
3059
set, this routine is called after the option is processed. This feature
3060
is now used by the standard options ``verbose`` and ``quiet`` so that
3061
setting one implicitly resets the other. (Ian Clatworthy)
3062
3063
* Rather than declaring a new option from scratch in order to provide
3064
custom help, a centrally registered option can be decorated using the
3065
new ``bzrlib.Option.custom_help`` routine. In particular, this routine
3066
is useful when declaring better help for the ``verbose`` and ``quiet``
3067
standard options as the base definition of these is now more complex
3068
than before thanks to their use of a custom callback. (Ian Clatworthy)
3069
3070
* Tree._iter_changes(specific_file=[]) now iterates through no files,
3071
instead of iterating through all files. None is used to iterate through
3072
all files. (Aaron Bentley)
3073
3074
* WorkingTree.revert() now accepts None to revert all files. The use of
3075
[] to revert all files is deprecated. (Aaron Bentley)
3076
3077
3078
bzr 0.90 2007-08-28
3079
-------------------
3080
3081
IMPROVEMENTS:
3082
3083
* Documentation is now organized into multiple directories with a level
3084
added for different languages or locales. Added the Mini Tutorial
3085
and Quick Start Summary (en) documents from the Wiki, improving the
3086
content and readability of the former. Formatted NEWS as Release Notes
3087
complete with a Table of Conents, one heading per release. Moved the
3088
Developer Guide into the main document catalog and provided a link
3089
from the developer document catalog back to the main one.
3090
(Ian Clatworthy, Sabin Iacob, Alexander Belchenko)
3091
3092
3093
API CHANGES:
3094
3095
* The static convenience method ``BzrDir.create_repository``
3096
is deprecated. Callers should instead create a ``BzrDir`` instance
3097
and call ``create_repository`` on that. (Martin Pool)
3098
3099
3100
bzr 0.90rc1 2007-08-14
3101
----------------------
3102
3103
BUGFIXES:
3104
3105
* ``bzr init`` should connect to the remote location one time only. We
3106
have been connecting several times because we forget to pass around the
3107
Transport object. This modifies ``BzrDir.create_branch_convenience``,
3108
so that we can give it the Transport we already have.
3109
(John Arbash Meinel, Vincent Ladeuil, #111702)
3110
3111
* Get rid of sftp connection cache (get rid of the FTP one too).
3112
(Vincent Ladeuil, #43731)
3113
3114
* bzr branch {local|remote} remote don't try to create a working tree
3115
anymore.
3116
(Vincent Ladeuil, #112173)
3117
3118
* All identified multiple connections for a single bzr command have been
3119
fixed. See bzrlib/tests/commands directory.
3120
(Vincent Ladeuil)
3121
3122
* ``bzr rm`` now does not insist on ``--force`` to delete files that
3123
have been renamed but not otherwise modified. (Marius Kruger,
3124
#111664)
3125
3126
* ``bzr selftest --bench`` no longer emits deprecation warnings
3127
(Lukáš Lalinský)
3128
3129
* ``bzr status`` now honours FILE parameters for conflict lists
3130
(Aaron Bentley, #127606)
3131
3132
* ``bzr checkout`` now honours -r when reconstituting a working tree.
3133
It also honours -r 0. (Aaron Bentley, #127708)
3134
3135
* ``bzr add *`` no more fails on Windows if working tree contains
3136
non-ascii file names. (Kuno Meyer, #127361)
3137
3138
* allow ``easy_install bzr`` runs without fatal errors.
3139
(Alexander Belchenko, #125521)
3140
3141
* Graph._filter_candidate_lca does not raise KeyError if a candidate
3142
is eliminated just before it would normally be examined. (Aaron Bentley)
3143
3144
* SMTP connection failures produce a nice message, not a traceback.
3145
(Aaron Bentley)
3146
3147
IMPROVEMENTS:
3148
3149
* Don't show "dots" progress indicators when run non-interactively, such
3150
as from cron. (Martin Pool)
3151
3152
* ``info`` now formats locations more nicely and lists "submit" and
3153
"public" branches (Aaron Bentley)
3154
3155
* New ``pack`` command that will trigger database compression within
3156
the repository (Robert Collins)
3157
3158
* Implement ``_KnitIndex._load_data`` in a pyrex extension. The pyrex
3159
version is approximately 2-3x faster at parsing a ``.kndx`` file.
3160
Which yields a measurable improvement for commands which have to
3161
read from the repository, such as a 1s => 0.75s improvement in
3162
``bzr diff`` when there are changes to be shown. (John Arbash Meinel)
3163
3164
* Merge is now faster. Depending on the scenario, it can be more than 2x
3165
faster. (Aaron Bentley)
3166
3167
* Give a clearer warning, and allow ``python setup.py install`` to
3168
succeed even if pyrex is not available.
3169
(John Arbash Meinel)
3170
3171
* ``DirState._read_dirblocks`` now has an optional Pyrex
3172
implementation. This improves the speed of any command that has to
3173
read the entire DirState. (``diff``, ``status``, etc, improve by
3174
about 10%).
3175
``bisect_dirblocks`` has also been improved, which helps all
3176
``_get_entry`` type calls (whenever we are searching for a
3177
particular entry in the in-memory DirState).
3178
(John Arbash Meinel)
3179
3180
* ``bzr pull`` and ``bzr push`` no longer do a complete walk of the
3181
branch revision history for ui display unless -v is supplied.
3182
(Robert Collins)
3183
3184
* ``bzr log -rA..B`` output shifted to the left margin if the log only
3185
contains merge revisions. (Kent Gibson)
3186
3187
* The ``plugins`` command is now public with improved help.
3188
(Ian Clatworthy)
3189
3190
* New bundle and merge directive formats are faster to generate, and
3191
3192
* Annotate merge now works when there are local changes. (Aaron Bentley)
3193
3194
* Commit now only shows the progress in terms of directories instead of
3195
entries. (Ian Clatworthy)
3196
3197
* Fix ``KnitRepository.get_revision_graph`` to not request the graph 2
3198
times. This makes ``get_revision_graph`` 2x faster. (John Arbash
3199
Meinel)
3200
3201
* Fix ``VersionedFile.get_graph()`` to avoid using
3202
``set.difference_update(other)``, which has bad scaling when
3203
``other`` is large. This improves ``VF.get_graph([version_id])`` for
3204
a 12.5k graph from 2.9s down to 200ms. (John Arbash Meinel)
3205
3206
* The ``--lsprof-file`` option now generates output for KCacheGrind if
3207
the file starts with ``callgrind.out``. This matches the default file
3208
filtering done by KCacheGrind's Open Dialog. (Ian Clatworthy)
3209
3210
* Fix ``bzr update`` to avoid an unnecessary
3211
``branch.get_master_branch`` call, which avoids 1 extra connection
3212
to the remote server. (Partial fix for #128076, John Arbash Meinel)
3213
3214
* Log errors from the smart server in the trace file, to make debugging
3215
test failures (and live failures!) easier. (Andrew Bennetts)
3216
3217
* The HTML version of the man page has been superceded by a more
3218
comprehensive manual called the Bazaar User Reference. This manual
3219
is completed generated from the online help topics. As part of this
3220
change, limited reStructuredText is now explicitly supported in help
3221
topics and command help with 'unnatural' markup being removed prior
3222
to display by the online help or inclusion in the man page.
3223
(Ian Clatworthy)
3224
3225
* HTML documentation now use files extension ``*.html``
3226
(Alexander Belchenko)
3227
3228
* The cache of ignore definitions is now cleared in WorkingTree.unlock()
3229
so that changes to .bzrignore aren't missed. (#129694, Daniel Watkins)
3230
3231
* ``bzr selftest --strict`` fails if there are any missing features or
3232
expected test failures. (Daniel Watkins, #111914)
3233
3234
* Link to registration survey added to README. (Ian Clatworthy)
3235
3236
* Windows standalone installer show link to registration survey
3237
when installation finished. (Alexander Belchenko)
3238
3239
LIBRARY API BREAKS:
3240
3241
* Deprecated dictionary ``bzrlib.option.SHORT_OPTIONS`` removed.
3242
Options are now required to provide a help string and it must
3243
comply with the style guide by being one or more sentences with an
3244
initial capital and final period. (Martin Pool)
3245
3246
* KnitIndex.get_parents now returns tuples. (Robert Collins)
3247
3248
* Ancient unused ``Repository.text_store`` attribute has been removed.
3249
(Robert Collins)
3250
3251
* The ``bzrlib.pack`` interface has changed to use tuples of bytestrings
3252
rather than just bytestrings, making it easier to represent multiple
3253
element names. As this interface was not used by any internal facilities
3254
since it was introduced in 0.18 no API compatibility is being preserved.
3255
The serialised form of these packs is identical with 0.18 when a single
3256
element tuple is in use. (Robert Collins)
3257
3258
INTERNALS:
3259
3260
* merge now uses ``iter_changes`` to calculate changes, which makes room for
3261
future performance increases. It is also more consistent with other
3262
operations that perform comparisons, and reduces reliance on
3263
Tree.inventory. (Aaron Bentley)
3264
3265
* Refactoring of transport classes connected to a remote server.
3266
ConnectedTransport is a new class that serves as a basis for all
3267
transports needing to connect to a remote server. transport.split_url
3268
have been deprecated, use the static method on the object instead. URL
3269
tests have been refactored too.
3270
(Vincent Ladeuil)
3271
3272
* Better connection sharing for ConnectedTransport objects.
3273
transport.get_transport() now accepts a 'possible_transports' parameter.
3274
If a newly requested transport can share a connection with one of the
3275
list, it will.
3276
(Vincent Ladeuil)
3277
3278
* Most functions now accept ``bzrlib.revision.NULL_REVISION`` to indicate
3279
the null revision, and consider using ``None`` for this purpose
3280
deprecated. (Aaron Bentley)
3281
3282
* New ``index`` module with abstract index functionality. This will be
3283
used during the planned changes in the repository layer. Currently the
3284
index layer provides a graph aware immutable index, a builder for the
3285
same index type to allow creating them, and finally a composer for
3286
such indices to allow the use of many indices in a single query. The
3287
index performance is not optimised, however the API is stable to allow
3288
development on top of the index. (Robert Collins)
3289
3290
* ``bzrlib.dirstate.cmp_by_dirs`` can be used to compare two paths by
3291
their directory sections. This is equivalent to comparing
3292
``path.split('/')``, only without having to split the paths.
3293
This has a Pyrex implementation available.
3294
(John Arbash Meinel)
3295
3296
* New transport decorator 'unlistable+' which disables the list_dir
3297
functionality for testing.
3298
3299
* Deprecated ``change_entry`` in transform.py. (Ian Clatworthy)
3300
3301
* RevisionTree.get_weave is now deprecated. Tree.plan_merge is now used
3302
for performing annotate-merge. (Aaron Bentley)
3303
3304
* New EmailMessage class to create email messages. (Adeodato Simó)
3305
3306
* Unused functions on the private interface KnitIndex have been removed.
3307
(Robert Collins)
3308
3309
* New ``knit.KnitGraphIndex`` which provides a ``KnitIndex`` layered on top
3310
of a ``index.GraphIndex``. (Robert Collins)
3311
3312
* New ``knit.KnitVersionedFile.iter_parents`` method that allows querying
3313
the parents of many knit nodes at once, reducing round trips to the
3314
underlying index. (Robert Collins)
3315
3316
* Graph now has an is_ancestor method, various bits use it.
3317
(Aaron Bentley)
3318
3319
* The ``-Dhpss`` flag now includes timing information. As well as
3320
logging when a new connection is opened. (John Arbash Meinel)
3321
3322
* ``bzrlib.pack.ContainerWriter`` now returns an offset, length tuple to
3323
callers when inserting data, allowing generation of readv style access
3324
during pack creation, without needing a separate pass across the output
3325
pack to gather such details. (Robert Collins)
3326
3327
* ``bzrlib.pack.make_readv_reader`` allows readv based access to pack
3328
files that are stored on a transport. (Robert Collins)
3329
3330
* New ``Repository.has_same_location`` method that reports if two
3331
repository objects refer to the same repository (although with some risk
3332
of false negatives). (Andrew Bennetts)
3333
3334
* InterTree.compare now passes require_versioned on correctly.
3335
(Marius Kruger)
3336
3337
* New methods on Repository - ``start_write_group``,
3338
``commit_write_group``, ``abort_write_group`` and ``is_in_write_group`` -
3339
which provide a clean hook point for transactional Repositories - ones
3340
where all the data for a fetch or commit needs to be made atomically
3341
available in one step. This allows the write lock to remain while making
3342
a series of data insertions. (e.g. data conversion). (Robert Collins)
3343
3344
* In ``bzrlib.knit`` the internal interface has been altered to use
3345
3-tuples (index, pos, length) rather than two-tuples (pos, length) to
3346
describe where data in a knit is, allowing knits to be split into
3347
many files. (Robert Collins)
3348
3349
* ``bzrlib.knit._KnitData`` split into cache management and physical access
3350
with two access classes - ``_PackAccess`` and ``_KnitAccess`` defined.
3351
The former provides access into a .pack file, and the latter provides the
3352
current production repository form of .knit files. (Robert Collins)
3353
3354
TESTING:
3355
3356
* Remove selftest ``--clean-output``, ``--numbered-dirs`` and
3357
``--keep-output`` options, which are obsolete now that tests
3358
are done within directories in $TMPDIR. (Martin Pool)
3359
3360
* The SSH_AUTH_SOCK environment variable is now reset to avoid
3361
interaction with any running ssh agents. (Jelmer Vernooij, #125955)
3362
3363
* run_bzr_subprocess handles parameters the same way as run_bzr:
3364
either a string or a list of strings should be passed as the first
3365
parameter. Varargs-style parameters are deprecated. (Aaron Bentley)

* Do not suppress pipe errors, etc. in non-display commands
3382
(Alexander Belchenko, #87178)
3383
3384
* Display a useful error message when the user requests to annotate
3385
a file that is not present in the specified revision.
3386
(James Westby, #122656)
3387

3410
individually and as part of revision ranges.
3411
(Kent Gibson, #4663)

(Martin Pool, #109169)
3415
3416
* Don't use the '-f' strace option during tests.
3417
(Vincent Ladeuil, #102019).
3418
3419
* Warn when setting ``push_location`` to a value that will be masked by
3420
locations.conf. (Aaron Bentley, #122286)
3421
3422
* Fix commit ordering in corner case (Aaron Bentley, #94975)
3423
3424
* Make annotate behave in a non-ASCII world (Adeodato Simó).
3425
3426
IMPROVEMENTS:
3427
3428
* The --lsprof-file option now dumps a text rendering of the profiling
3429
information if the filename ends in ".txt". It will also convert the
3430
profiling information to a format suitable for KCacheGrind if the
3431
output filename ends in ".callgrind". Fixes to the lsprofcalltree
3432
conversion process by Jean Paul Calderone and Itamar were also merged.
3433
See http://ddaa.net/blog/python/lsprof-calltree. (Ian Clatworthy)
3434
3435
* ``info`` now defaults to non-verbose mode, displaying only paths and
3436
abbreviated format info. ``info -v`` displays all the information
3437
formerly displayed by ``info``. (Aaron Bentley, Adeodato Simó)
3438
3439
* ``bzr missing`` now has better option names ``--this`` and ``--other``.
3440
(Elliot Murphy)
3441
3442
* The internal ``weave-list`` command has become ``versionedfile-list``,
3443
and now lists knits as well as weaves. (Aaron Bentley)
3444
3445
* Automatic merge base selection uses a faster algorithm that chooses
3446
better bases in criss-cross merge situations (Aaron Bentley)
3447
3448
* Progress reporting in ``commit`` has been improved. The various logical
3449
stages are now reported on as follows, namely:
3450
3451
* Collecting changes [Entry x/y] - Stage n/m
3452
* Saving data locally - Stage n/m
3453
* Uploading data to master branch - Stage n/m
3454
* Updating the working tree - Stage n/m
3455
* Running post commit hooks - Stage n/m
3456
3457
If there is no master branch, the 3rd stage is omitted and the total
3458
number of stages is adjusted accordingly.
3459
3460
Each hook that is run after commit is listed with a name (as hooks
3461
can be slow it is useful feedback).
3462
(Ian Clatworthy, Robert Collins)
3463
3464
* Various operations that are now faster due to avoiding unnecessary
3465
topological sorts. (Aaron Bentley)
3466
3467
* Make merge directives robust against broken bundles. (Aaron Bentley)
3468
3469
* The lsprof filename note is emitted via trace.note(), not standard
3470
output. (Aaron Bentley)
3471
3472
* ``bzrlib`` now exports explicit API compatibility information to assist
3473
library users and plugins. See the ``bzrlib.api`` module for details.
3474
(Robert Collins)
3475
3476
* Remove unnecessary lock probes when acquiring a lockdir.
3477
(Martin Pool)
3478
3479
* ``bzr --version`` now shows the location of the bzr log file, which
3480
is especially useful on Windows. (Martin Pool)
3481
3482
* -D now supports hooks to get debug tracing of hooks (though its currently
3483
minimal in nature). (Robert Collins)
3484
3485
* Long log format reports deltas on merge revisions.
3486
(John Arbash Meinel, Kent Gibson)
3487
3488
* Make initial push over ftp more resilient. (John Arbash Meinel)
3489
3490
* Print a summary of changes for update just like pull does.
3491
(Daniel Watkins, #113990)
3492
3493
* Add a -Dhpss option to trace smart protocol requests and responses.

3496
LIBRARY API BREAKS:
3497
3498
* Testing cleanups -
3499
``bzrlib.repository.RepositoryTestProviderAdapter`` has been moved
3500
to ``bzrlib.tests.repository_implementations``;
3501
``bzrlib.repository.InterRepositoryTestProviderAdapter`` has been moved
3502
to ``bzrlib.tests.interrepository_implementations``;
3503
``bzrlib.transport.TransportTestProviderAdapter`` has moved to
3504
``bzrlib.tests.test_transport_implementations``.
3505
``bzrlib.branch.BranchTestProviderAdapter`` has moved to
3506
``bzrlib.tests.branch_implementations``.
3507
``bzrlib.bzrdir.BzrDirTestProviderAdapter`` has moved to
3508
``bzrlib.tests.bzrdir_implementations``.
3509
``bzrlib.versionedfile.InterVersionedFileTestProviderAdapter`` has moved
3510
to ``bzrlib.tests.interversionedfile_implementations``.
3511
``bzrlib.store.revision.RevisionStoreTestProviderAdapter`` has moved to
3512
``bzrlib.tests.revisionstore_implementations``.
3513
``bzrlib.workingtree.WorkingTreeTestProviderAdapter`` has moved to
3514
``bzrlib.tests.workingtree_implementations``.
3515
These changes are an API break in the testing infrastructure only.
3516
(Robert Collins)
3517
3518
* Relocate TestCaseWithRepository to be more central. (Robert Collins)
3519
3520
* ``bzrlib.add.smart_add_tree`` will no longer perform glob expansion on
3521
win32. Callers of the function should do this and use the new
3522
``MutableTree.smart_add`` method instead. (Robert Collins)
3523
3524
* ``bzrlib.add.glob_expand_for_win32`` is now
3525
``bzrlib.win32utils.glob_expand``. (Robert Collins)
3526
3527
* ``bzrlib.add.FastPath`` is now private and moved to
3528
``bzrlib.mutabletree._FastPath``. (Robert Collins, Martin Pool)
3529
3530
* ``LockDir.wait`` removed. (Martin Pool)
3531
3532
* The ``SmartServer`` hooks API has changed for the ``server_started`` and
3533
``server_stopped`` hooks. The first parameter is now an iterable of
3534
backing URLs rather than a single URL. This is to reflect that many
3535
URLs may map to the external URL of the server. E.g. the server interally
3536
may have a chrooted URL but also the local file:// URL will be at the
3537
same location. (Robert Collins)
3538
3539
INTERNALS:
3540
3541
* New SMTPConnection class to unify email handling. (Adeodato Simó)
3542
3543
* Fix documentation of BzrError. (Adeodato Simó)
3544
3545
* Make BzrBadParameter an internal error. (Adeodato Simó)
3546
3547
* Remove use of 'assert False' to raise an exception unconditionally.
3548
(Martin Pool)
3549
3550
* Give a cleaner error when failing to decode knit index entry.
3551
(Martin Pool)
3552
3553
* TreeConfig would mistakenly search the top level when asked for options
3554
from a section. It now respects the section argument and only
3555
searches the specified section. (James Westby)
3556
3557
* Improve ``make api-docs`` output. (John Arbash Meinel)
3558
3559
* Use os.lstat rather than os.stat for osutils.make_readonly and
3560
osutils.make_writeable. This makes the difftools plugin more
3561
robust when dangling symlinks are found. (Elliot Murphy)
3562
3563
* New ``-Dlock`` option to log (to ~/.bzr.log) information on when
3564
lockdirs are taken or released. (Martin Pool)
3565
3566
* ``bzrlib`` Hooks are now nameable using ``Hooks.name_hook``. This
3567
allows a nicer UI when hooks are running as the current hook can
3568
be displayed. (Robert Collins)
3569
3570
* ``Transport.get`` has had its interface made more clear for ease of use.
3571
Retrieval of a directory must now fail with either 'PathError' at open
3572
time, or raise 'ReadError' on a read. (Robert Collins)
3573
3574
* New method ``_maybe_expand_globs`` on the ``Command`` class for
3575
dealing with unexpanded glob lists - e.g. on the win32 platform. This
3576
was moved from ``bzrlib.add._prepare_file_list``. (Robert Collins)
3577
3578
* ``bzrlib.add.smart_add`` and ``bzrlib.add.smart_add_tree`` are now
3579
deprecated in favour of ``MutableTree.smart_add``. (Robert Collins,
3580
Martin Pool)
3581
3582
* New method ``external_url`` on Transport for obtaining the url to
3583
hand to external processes. (Robert Collins)
3584
3585
* Teach windows installers to build pyrex/C extensions.
3586
(Alexander Belchenko)
3587
3588
TESTING:
3589
3590
* Removed the ``--keep-output`` option from selftest and clean up test
3591
directories as they're used. This reduces the IO load from
3592
running the test suite and cuts the time by about half.
3593
(Andrew Bennetts, Martin Pool)
3594
3595
* Add scenarios as a public attribute on the TestAdapter classes to allow
3596
modification of the generated scenarios before adaption and easier
3597
testing. (Robert Collins)
3598
3599
* New testing support class ``TestScenarioApplier`` which multiplies
3600
out a single teste by a list of supplied scenarios. (RobertCollins)
3601
3602
* Setting ``repository_to_test_repository`` on a repository_implementations
3603
test will cause it to be called during repository creation, allowing the
3604
testing of repository classes which are not based around the Format
3605
concept. For example a repository adapter can be tested in this manner,
3606
by altering the repository scenarios to include a scenario that sets this
3607
attribute during the test parameterisation in
3608
``bzrlib.tests.repository.repository_implementations``. (Robert Collins)
3609
3610
* Clean up many of the APIs for blackbox testing of Bazaar. The standard
3611
interface is now self.run_bzr. The command to run can be passed as
3612
either a list of parameters, a string containing the command line, or
3613
(deprecated) varargs parameters. (Martin Pool)
3614
3615
* The base TestCase now isolates tests from -D parameters by clearing
3616
``debug.debug_flags`` and restores it afterwards. (Robert Collins)
3617
3618
* Add a relpath parameter to get_transport methods in test framework to
3619
avoid useless cloning.

NOTES WHEN UPGRADING:
3639
3640
* The kind() and is_executable() APIs on the WorkingTree interface no
3641
longer implicitly (read) locks and unlocks the tree. This *might*
3642
impact some plug-ins and tools using this part of the API. If you find
3643
an issue that may be caused by this change, please let us know,
3644
particularly the plug-in/tool maintainer. If encountered, the API
3645
fix is to surround kind() and is_executable() calls with lock_read()
3646
and unlock() like so::
3647
3648
work_tree.lock_read()
3649
try:
3650
kind = work_tree.kind(...)
3651
finally:
3652
work_tree.unlock()
3653
3654
INTERNALS:
3655
* Rework of LogFormatter API to provide beginning/end of log hooks and to
3656
encapsulate the details of the revision to be logged in a LogRevision
3657
object.
3658
In long log formats, merge revision ids are only shown when --show-ids
3659
is specified, and are labelled "revision-id:", as per mainline
3660
revisions, instead of "merged:". (Kent Gibson)
3661
3662
* New ``BranchBuilder`` API which allows the construction of particular
3663
histories quickly. Useful for testing and potentially other applications
3664
too. (Robert Collins)
3665
3666
IMPROVEMENTS:
3667
3668
* There are two new help topics, working-trees and repositories that
3669
attempt to explain these concepts. (James Westby, John Arbash Meinel,
3670
Aaron Bentley)
3671
3672
* Added ``bzr log --limit`` to report a limited number of revisions.
3673
(Kent Gibson, #3659)
3674
3675
* Revert does not try to preserve file contents that were originally
3676
produced by reverting to a historical revision. (Aaron Bentley)
3677
3678
* ``bzr log --short`` now includes ``[merge]`` for revisions which
3679
have more than one parent. This is a small improvement to help
3680
understanding what changes have occurred
3681
(John Arbash Meinel, #83887)
3682
3683
* TreeTransform avoids many renames when contructing large trees,
3684
improving speed. 3.25x speedups have been observed for construction of
3685
kernel-sized-trees, and checkouts are 1.28x faster. (Aaron Bentley)
3686
3687
* Commit on large trees is now faster. In my environment, a commit of
3688
a small change to the Mozilla tree (55k files) has dropped from
3689
66 seconds to 32 seconds. For a small tree of 600 files, commit of a
3690
small change is 33% faster. (Ian Clatworthy)
3691
3692
* New --create-prefix option to bzr init, like for push. (Daniel Watkins,
3693
#56322)
3694
3695
BUGFIXES:
3696
3697
* ``bzr push`` should only connect to the remote location one time.
3698
We have been connecting 3 times because we forget to pass around
3699
the Transport object. This adds ``BzrDir.clone_on_transport()``, so
3700
that we can pass in the Transport that we already have.

(John Arbash Meinel, #75721)
3702
3703
* ``DirState.set_state_from_inventory()`` needs to properly order
3704
based on split paths, not just string paths.
3705
(John Arbash Meinel, #115947)
3706
3707
* Let TestUIFactoy encode the password prompt with its own stdout.
3708
(Vincent Ladeuil, #110204)
3709
3710
* pycurl should take use the range header that takes the range hint
3711
into account.
3712
(Vincent Ladeuil, #112719)
3713
3714
* WorkingTree4.get_file_sha1 no longer raises an exception when invoked
3715
on a missing file. (Aaron Bentley, #118186)
3716
3717
* WorkingTree.remove works correctly with tree references, and when pwd is
3718
not the tree root. (Aaron Bentley)
3719
3720
* Merge no longer fails when a file is renamed in one tree and deleted
3721
in the other. (Aaron Bentley, #110279)
3722
3723
* ``revision-info`` now accepts dotted revnos, doesn't require a tree,
3724
and defaults to the last revision (Matthew Fuller, #90048)
3725
3726
* Tests no longer fail when BZR_REMOTE_PATH is set in the environment.
3727
(Daniel Watkins, #111958)
3728
3729
* ``bzr branch -r revid:foo`` can be used to branch any revision in
3730
your repository. (Previously Branch6 only supported revisions in your
3731
mainline). (John Arbash Meinel, #115343)

3736
BUGFIXES:
3737
3738
* Handle when you have 2 directories with similar names, but one has a
3739
hyphen. (``'abc'`` versus ``'abc-2'``). The WT4._iter_changes
3740
iterator was using direct comparison and ``'abc/a'`` sorts after
3741
``'abc-2'``, but ``('abc', 'a')`` sorts before ``('abc-2',)``.
3742
(John Arbash Meinel, #111227)
3743
3744
* Handle when someone renames a file on disk without telling bzr.
3745
Previously we would report the first file as missing, but not show
3746
the new unknown file. (John Arbash Meinel, #111288)
3747
3748
* Avoid error when running hooks after pulling into or pushing from
3749
a branch bound to a smartserver branch. (Martin Pool, #111968)
3750
3751
IMPROVEMENTS:
3752
3753
* Move developer documentation to doc/developers/. This reduces clutter in
3754
the root of the source tree and allows HACKING to be split into multiple
3755
files. (Robert Collins, Alexander Belchenko)
3756
3757
* Clean up the ``WorkingTree4._iter_changes()`` internal loops as well as
3758
``DirState.update_entry()``. This optimizes the core logic for ``bzr
3759
diff`` and ``bzr status`` significantly improving the speed of
3760
both. (John Arbash Meinel)

3763
-----------------------
3764
3765
BUGFIXES:
3766
3767
* Handle the case when you delete a file, and then rename another file
3768
on top of it. Also handle the case of ``bzr rm --keep foo``. ``bzr
3769
status`` should show the removed file and an unknown file in its
3770
place. (John Arbash Meinel, #109993)
3771
3772
* Bundles properly read and write revision properties that have an
3773
empty value. And when the value is not ASCII.
3774
(John Arbash Meinel, #109613)
3775
3776
* Fix the bzr commit message to be in text mode.
3777
(Alexander Belchenko, #110901)
3778
3779
* Also handle when you rename a file and create a file where it used
3780
to be. (John Arbash Meinel, #110256)
3781
3782
* ``WorkingTree4._iter_changes`` should not descend into unversioned
3783
directories. (John Arbash Meinel, #110399)

3786
-----------------------
3787
3788
NOTES WHEN UPGRADING:
3789
3790
* ``bzr remove`` and ``bzr rm`` will now remove the working file, if
3791
it could be recovered again.
3792
This has been done for consistency with svn and the unix rm command.
3793
The old ``remove`` behaviour has been retained in the new option
3794
``bzr remove --keep``, which will just stop versioning the file,
3795
but not delete it.
3796
``bzr remove --force`` have been added which will always delete the
3797
files.
3798
``bzr remove`` is also more verbose.
3799
(Marius Kruger, #82602)
3800
3801
IMPROVEMENTS:
3802
3803
* Merge directives can now be supplied as input to `merge` and `pull`,
3804
like bundles can. (Aaron Bentley)
3805
3806
* Sending the SIGQUIT signal to bzr, which can be done on Unix by
3807
pressing Control-Backslash, drops bzr into a debugger. Type ``'c'``
3808
to continue. This can be disabled by setting the environment variable
3809
``BZR_SIGQUIT_PDB=0``. (Martin Pool)
3810
3811
* selftest now supports --list-only to list tests instead of running
3812
them. (Ian Clatworthy)
3813
3814
* selftest now supports --exclude PATTERN (or -x PATTERN) to exclude
3815
tests with names that match that regular expression.
3816
(Ian Clatworthy, #102679)
3817
3818
* selftest now supports --randomize SEED to run tests in a random order.
3819
SEED is typically the value 'now' meaning 'use the current time'.
3820
(Ian Clatworthy, #102686)
3821
3822
* New option ``--fixes`` to commit, which stores bug fixing annotations as
3823
revision properties. Built-in support for Launchpad, Debian, Trac and
3824
Bugzilla bug trackers. (Jonathan Lange, James Henstridge, Robert Collins)
3825
3826
* New API, ``bzrlib.bugtracker.tracker_registry``, for adding support for
3827
other bug trackers to ``fixes``. (Jonathan Lange, James Henstridge,
3828
Robert Collins)
3829
3830
* ``selftest`` has new short options ``-f`` and ``-1``. (Martin
3831
Pool)
3832
3833
* ``bzrlib.tsort.MergeSorter`` optimizations. Change the inner loop
3834
into using local variables instead of going through ``self._var``.
3835
Improves the time to ``merge_sort`` a 10k revision graph by
3836
approximately 40% (~700->400ms). (John Arbash Meinel)
3837
3838
* ``make docs`` now creates a man page at ``man1/bzr.1`` fixing bug 107388.
3839
(Robert Collins)
3840
3841
* ``bzr help`` now provides cross references to other help topics using
3842
the _see_also facility on command classes. Likewise the bzr_man
3843
documentation, and the bzr.1 man page also include this information.
3844
(Robert Collins)
3845
3846
* Tags are now included in logs, that use the long log formatter.
3847
(Erik Bågfors, Alexander Belchenko)
3848
3849
* ``bzr help`` provides a clearer message when a help topic cannot be
3850
found. (Robert Collins, #107656)
3851
3852
* ``bzr help`` now accepts optional prefixes for command help. The help
3853
for all commands can now be found at ``bzr help commands/COMMANDNAME``
3854
as well as ``bzr help COMMANDNAME`` (which only works for commands
3855
where the name is not the same as a more general help topic).
3856
(Robert Collins)
3857
3858
* ``bzr help PLUGINNAME`` will now return the module docstring from the
3859
plugin PLUGINNAME. (Robert Collins, #50408)
3860
3861
* New help topic ``urlspec`` which lists the availables transports.
3862
(Goffredo Baroncelli)
3863
3864
* doc/server.txt updated to document the default bzr:// port
3865
and also update the blurb about the hpss' current status.
3866
(Robert Collins, #107125).
3867
3868
* ``bzr serve`` now listens on interface 0.0.0.0 by default, making it
3869
serve out to the local LAN (and anyone in the world that can reach the
3870
machine running ``bzr serve``. (Robert Collins, #98918)
3871
3872
* A new smart server protocol version has been added. It prefixes requests
3873
and responses with an explicit version identifier so that future protocol
3874
revisions can be dealt with gracefully. (Andrew Bennetts, Robert Collins)
3875
3876
* The bzr protocol version 2 indicates success or failure in every response
3877
without depending on particular commands encoding that consistently,
3878
allowing future client refactorings to be much more robust about error
3879
handling. (Robert Collins, Martin Pool, Andrew Bennetts)
3880
3881
* The smart protocol over HTTP client has been changed to always post to the
3882
same ``.bzr/smart`` URL under the original location when it can. This allows
3883
HTTP servers to only have to pass URLs ending in .bzr/smart to the smart
3884
server handler, and not arbitrary ``.bzr/*/smart`` URLs. (Andrew Bennetts)
3885
3886
* digest authentication is now supported for proxies and HTTP by the urllib
3887
based http implementation. Tested against Apache 2.0.55 and Squid
3888
2.6.5. Basic and digest authentication are handled coherently for HTTP
3889
and proxy: if the user is provided in the url (bzr command line for HTTP,
3890
proxy environment variables for proxies), the password is prompted for
3891
(only once). If the password is provided, it is taken into account. Once
3892
the first authentication is successful, all further authentication
3893
roundtrips are avoided by preventively setting the right authentication
3894
header(s).
3895
(Vincent Ladeuil).
3896
3897
INTERNALS:
3898
3899
* bzrlib API compatability with 0.8 has been dropped, cleaning up some
3900
code paths. (Robert Collins)
3901
3902
* Change the format of chroot urls so that they can be safely manipulated
3903
by generic url utilities without causing the resulting urls to have
3904
escaped the chroot. A side effect of this is that creating a chroot
3905
requires an explicit action using a ChrootServer.
3906
(Robert Collins, Andrew Bennetts)
3907
3908
* Deprecate ``Branch.get_root_id()`` because branches don't have root ids,
3909
rather than fixing bug #96847. (Aaron Bentley)
3910
3911
* ``WorkingTree.apply_inventory_delta`` provides a better alternative to
3912
``WorkingTree._write_inventory``. (Aaron Bentley)
3913
3914
* Convenience method ``TestCase.expectFailure`` ensures that known failures
3915
do not silently pass. (Aaron Bentley)
3916
3917
* ``Transport.local_abspath`` now raises ``NotLocalUrl`` rather than
3918
``TransportNotPossible``. (Martin Pool, Ian Clatworthy)
3919
3920
* New SmartServer hooks facility. There are two initial hooks documented
3921
in ``bzrlib.transport.smart.SmartServerHooks``. The two initial hooks allow
3922
plugins to execute code upon server startup and shutdown.
3923
(Robert Collins).
3924
3925
* SmartServer in standalone mode will now close its listening socket
3926
when it stops, rather than waiting for garbage collection. This primarily
3927
fixes test suite hangs when a test tries to connect to a shutdown server.
3928
It may also help improve behaviour when dealing with a server running
3929
on a specific port (rather than dynamically assigned ports).
3930
(Robert Collins)
3931
3932
* Move most SmartServer code into a new package, bzrlib/smart.
3933
bzrlib/transport/remote.py contains just the Transport classes that used
3934
to be in bzrlib/transport/smart.py. (Andrew Bennetts)
3935
3936
* urllib http implementation avoid roundtrips associated with
3937
401 (and 407) errors once the authentication succeeds.
3938
(Vincent Ladeuil).
3939
3940
* urlib http now supports querying the user for a proxy password if
3941
needed. Realm is shown in the prompt for both HTTP and proxy
3942
authentication when the user is required to type a password.
3943
(Vincent Ladeuil).
3944
3945
* Renamed SmartTransport (and subclasses like SmartTCPTransport) to
3946
RemoteTransport (and subclasses to RemoteTCPTransport, etc). This is more
3947
consistent with its new home in ``bzrlib/transport/remote.py``, and because
3948
it's not really a "smart" transport, just one that does file operations
3949
via remote procedure calls. (Andrew Bennetts)
3950
3951
* The ``lock_write`` method of ``LockableFiles``, ``Repository`` and
3952
``Branch`` now accept a ``token`` keyword argument, so that separate
3953
instances of those objects can share a lock if it has the right token.
3954
(Andrew Bennetts, Robert Collins)
3955
3956
* New method ``get_branch_reference`` on ``BzrDir`` allows the detection of
3957
branch references - which the smart server component needs.
3958
3959
* The Repository API ``make_working_trees`` is now permitted to return
3960
False when ``set_make_working_trees`` is not implemented - previously
3961
an unimplemented ``set_make_working_trees`` implied the result True
3962
from ``make_working_trees``. This has been changed to accomodate the
3963
smart server, where it does not make sense (at this point) to ever
3964
make working trees by default. (Robert Collins)
3965
3966
* Command objects can now declare related help topics by having _see_also
3967
set to a list of related topic. (Robert Collins)
3968
3969
* ``bzrlib.help`` now delegates to the Command class for Command specific
3970
help. (Robert Collins)
3971
3972
* New class ``TransportListRegistry``, derived from the Registry class, which
3973
simplifies tracking the available Transports. (Goffredo Baroncelli)
3974
3975
* New function ``Branch.get_revision_id_to_revno_map`` which will
3976
return a dictionary mapping revision ids to dotted revnos. Since
3977
dotted revnos are defined in the context of the branch tip, it makes
3978
sense to generate them from a ``Branch`` object.
3979
(John Arbash Meinel)
3980
3981
* Fix the 'Unprintable error' message display to use the repr of the
3982
exception that prevented printing the error because the str value
3983
for it is often not useful in debugging (e.g. KeyError('foo') has a
3984
str() of 'foo' but a repr of 'KeyError('foo')' which is much more
3985
useful. (Robert Collins)
3986
3987
* ``urlutils.normalize_url`` now unescapes unreserved characters, such as "~".
3988
(Andrew Bennetts)
3989
3990
BUGFIXES:
3991
3992
* Don't fail bundle selftest if email has 'two' embedded.
3993
(Ian Clatworthy, #98510)
3994
3995
* Remove ``--verbose`` from ``bzr bundle``. It didn't work anyway.
3996
(Robert Widhopf-Fenk, #98591)
3997
3998
* Remove ``--basis`` from the checkout/branch commands - it didn't work
3999
properly and is no longer beneficial.
4000
(Robert Collins, #53675, #43486)
4001
4002
* Don't produce encoding error when adding duplicate files.
4003
(Aaron Bentley)
4004
4005
* Fix ``bzr log <file>`` so it only logs the revisions that changed
4006
the file, and does it faster.
4007
(Kent Gibson, John Arbash Meinel, #51980, #69477)
4008
4009
* Fix ``InterDirstateTre._iter_changes`` to handle when we come across
4010
an empty versioned directory, which now has files in it.
4011
(John Arbash Meinel, #104257)
4012
4013
* Teach ``common_ancestor`` to shortcut when the tip of one branch is
4014
inside the ancestry of the other. Saves a lot of graph processing
4015
(with an ancestry of 16k revisions, ``bzr merge ../already-merged``
4016
changes from 2m10s to 13s). (John Arbash Meinel, #103757)
4017
4018
* Fix ``show_diff_trees`` to handle the case when a file is modified,
4019
and the containing directory is renamed. (The file path is different
4020
in this versus base, but it isn't marked as a rename).
4021
(John Arbash Meinel, #103870)
4022
4023
* FTP now works even when the FTP server does not support atomic rename.
4024
(Aaron Bentley, #89436)
4025
4026
* Correct handling in bundles and merge directives of timezones with
4027
that are not an integer number of hours offset from UTC. Always
4028
represent the epoch time in UTC to avoid problems with formatting
4029
earlier times on win32. (Martin Pool, Alexander Belchenko, John
4030
Arbash Meinel)
4031
4032
* Typo in the help for ``register-branch`` fixed. (Robert Collins, #96770)
4033
4034
* "dirstate" and "dirstate-tags" formats now produce branches compatible
4035
with old versions of bzr. (Aaron Bentley, #107168))
4036
4037
* Handle moving a directory when children have been added, removed,
4038
and renamed. (John Arbash Meinel, #105479)
4039
4040
* Don't preventively use basic authentication for proxy before receiving a
4041
407 error. Otherwise people willing to use other authentication schemes
4042
may expose their password in the clear (or nearly). This add one
4043
roundtrip in case basic authentication should be used, but plug the
4044
security hole.
4045
(Vincent Ladeuil)
4046
4047
* Handle http and proxy digest authentication.
4048
(Vincent Ladeuil, #94034).
4049
4050
TESTING:
4051
4052
* Added ``bzrlib.strace.strace`` which will strace a single callable and
4053
return a StraceResult object which contains just the syscalls involved
4054
in running it. (Robert Collins)
4055
4056
* New test method ``reduceLockdirTimeout`` to drop the default (ui-centric)
4057
default time down to one suitable for tests. (Andrew Bennetts)
4058
4059
* Add new ``vfs_transport_factory`` attribute on tests which provides the
4060
common vfs backing for both the readonly and readwrite transports.
4061
This allows the RemoteObject tests to back onto local disk or memory,
4062
and use the existing ``transport_server`` attribute all tests know about
4063
to be the smart server transport. This in turn allows tests to
4064
differentiate between 'transport to access the branch', and
4065
'transport which is a VFS' - which matters in Remote* tests.
4066
(Robert Collins, Andrew Bennetts)
4067
4068
* The ``make_branch_and_tree`` method for tests will now create a
4069
lightweight checkout for the tree if the ``vfs_transport_factory`` is not
4070
a LocalURLServer. (Robert Collins, Andrew Bennetts)
4071
4072
* Branch implementation tests have been audited to ensure that all urls
4073
passed to Branch APIs use proper urls, except when local-disk paths
4074
are intended. This is so that tests correctly access the test transport
4075
which is often not equivalent to local disk in Remote* tests. As part
4076
of this many tests were adjusted to remove dependencies on local disk
4077
access.
4078
(Robert Collins, Andrew Bennetts)
4079
4080
* Mark bzrlib.tests and bzrlib.tests.TestUtil as providing assertFOO helper
4081
functions by adding a ``__unittest`` global attribute. (Robert Collins,
4082
Andrew Bennetts, Martin Pool, Jonathan Lange)
4083
4084
* Refactored proxy and authentication handling to simplify the
4085
implementation of new auth schemes for both http and proxy.

CHANGES:
4104
4105
* A warning is now displayed when opening working trees in older
4106
formats, to encourage people to upgrade to WorkingTreeFormat4.
4107
(Martin Pool)
4108
4109
IMPROVEMENTS:
4110
4111
* HTTP redirections are now taken into account when a branch (or a
4112
bundle) is accessed for the first time. A message is issued at each
4113
redirection to inform the user. In the past, http redirections were
4114
silently followed for each request which significantly degraded the
4115
performances. The http redirections are not followed anymore by
4116
default, instead a RedirectRequested exception is raised. For bzrlib
4117
users needing to follow http redirections anyway,
4118
``bzrlib.transport.do_catching_redirections`` provide an easy transition
4119
path. (vila)
4120
4121
INTERNALS:
4122
4123
* Added ``ReadLock.temporary_write_lock()`` to allow upgrading an OS read
4124
lock to an OS write lock. Linux can do this without unlocking, Win32
4125
needs to unlock in between. (John Arbash Meinel)
4126
4127
* New parameter ``recommend_upgrade`` to ``BzrDir.open_workingtree``
4128
to silence (when false) warnings about opening old formats.
4129
(Martin Pool)
4130
4131
* Fix minor performance regression with bzr-0.15 on pre-dirstate
4132
trees. (We were reading the working inventory too many times).
4133
(John Arbash Meinel)
4134
4135
* Remove ``Branch.get_transaction()`` in favour of a simple cache of
4136
``revision_history``. Branch subclasses should override
4137
``_gen_revision_history`` rather than ``revision_history`` to make use of
4138
this cache, and call ``_clear_revision_history_cache`` and
4139
``_cache_revision_history`` at appropriate times. (Andrew Bennetts)
4140

4145
4146
* Restore Unicode filename handling for versioned and unversioned files.
4147
(John Arbash Meinel, #92608)
4148
4149
* Don't fail during ``bzr commit`` if a file is marked removed, and
4150
the containing directory is auto-removed. (John Arbash Meinel, #93681)
4151
4152
* ``bzr status FILENAME`` failed on Windows because of an uncommon
4153
errno. (``ERROR_DIRECTORY == 267 != ENOTDIR``).
4154
(Wouter van Heyst, John Arbash Meinel, #90819)
4155
4156
* ``bzr checkout source`` should create a local branch in the same
4157
format as source. (John Arbash Meinel, #93854)
4158
4159
* ``bzr commit`` with a kind change was failing to update the
4160
last-changed-revision for directories. The
4161
InventoryDirectory._unchanged only looked at the ``parent_id`` and name,
4162
ignoring the fact that the kind could have changed, too.
4163
(John Arbash Meinel, #90111)
4164
4165
* ``bzr mv dir/subdir other`` was incorrectly updating files inside
4166
the directory. So that there was a chance it would break commit,
4167
etc. (John Arbash Meinel, #94037)
4168
4169
* Correctly handles mutiple permanent http redirections.

4173
-----------------------
4174
4175
NOTES WHEN UPGRADING:
4176
4177
* Release 0.15rc2 of bzr changes the ``bzr init-repo`` command to
4178
default to ``--trees`` instead of ``--no-trees``.
4179
Existing shared repositories are not affected.
4180
4181
IMPROVEMENTS:
4182
4183
* New ``merge-directive`` command to generate machine- and human-readable
4184
merge requests. (Aaron Bentley)
4185
4186
* New ``submit:`` revision specifier makes it easy to diff against the
4187
common ancestor with the submit location (Aaron Bentley)
4188
4189
* Added support for Putty's SSH implementation. (Dmitry Vasiliev)
4190
4191
* Added ``bzr status --versioned`` to report only versioned files,
4192
not unknowns. (Kent Gibson)
4193
4194
* Merge now autodetects the correct line-ending style for its conflict
4195
markers. (Aaron Bentley)
4196
4197
INTERNALS:
4198
4199
* Refactored SSH vendor registration into SSHVendorManager class.
4200
(Dmitry Vasiliev)
4201
4202
BUGFIXES:
4203
4204
* New ``--numbered-dirs`` option to ``bzr selftest`` to use
4205
numbered dirs for TestCaseInTempDir. This is default behavior
4206
on Windows. Anyone can force named dirs on Windows
4207
with ``--no-numbered-dirs``. (Alexander Belchenko)
4208
4209
* Fix ``RevisionSpec_revid`` to handle the Unicode strings passed in
4210
from the command line. (Marien Zwart, #90501)
4211
4212
* Fix ``TreeTransform._iter_changes`` when both the source and
4213
destination are missing. (Aaron Bentley, #88842)
4214
4215
* Fix commit of merges with symlinks in dirstate trees.
4216
(Marien Zwart)
4217
4218
* Switch the ``bzr init-repo`` default from --no-trees to --trees.

bzr 0.15rc1 2007-03-07
4223
-----------------------
4224
4225
SURPRISES:
4226
4227
* The default disk format has changed. Please run 'bzr upgrade' in your
4228
working trees to upgrade. This new default is compatible for network
4229
operations, but not for local operations. That is, if you have two
4230
versions of bzr installed locally, after upgrading you can only use the
4231
bzr 0.15 version. This new default does not enable tags or nested-trees
4232
as they are incompatible with bzr versions before 0.15 over the network.
4233
4234
* For users of bzrlib: Two major changes have been made to the working tree
4235
api in bzrlib. The first is that many methods and attributes, including
4236
the inventory attribute, are no longer valid for use until one of
4237
``lock_read``/``lock_write``/``lock_tree_write`` has been called,
4238
and become invalid again after unlock is called. This has been done
4239
to improve performance and correctness as part of the dirstate
4240
development.
4241
(Robert Collins, John A Meinel, Martin Pool, and others).
4242
4243
* For users of bzrlib: The attribute 'tree.inventory' should be considered
4244
readonly. Previously it was possible to directly alter this attribute, or
4245
its contents, and have the tree notice this. This has been made
4246
unsupported - it may work in some tree formats, but in the newer dirstate
4247
format such actions will have no effect and will be ignored, or even
4248
cause assertions. All operations possible can still be carried out by a
4249
combination of the tree API, and the bzrlib.transform API. (Robert
4250
Collins, John A Meinel, Martin Pool, and others).
4251
4252
IMPROVEMENTS:
4253
4254
* Support for OS Windows 98. Also .bzr.log on any windows system
4255
saved in My Documents folder. (Alexander Belchenko)
4256
4257
* ``bzr mv`` enhanced to support already moved files.
4258
In the past the mv command would have failed if the source file doesn't
4259
exist. In this situation ``bzr mv`` would now detect that the file has
4260
already moved and update the repository accordingly, if the target file
4261
does exist.
4262
A new option ``--after`` has been added so that if two files already
4263
exist, you could notify Bazaar that you have moved a (versioned) file
4264
and replaced it with another. Thus in this case ``bzr move --after``
4265
will only update the Bazaar identifier.
4266
(Steffen Eichenberg, Marius Kruger)
4267
4268
* ``ls`` now works on treeless branches and remote branches.
4269
(Aaron Bentley)
4270
4271
* ``bzr help global-options`` describes the global options.
4272
(Aaron Bentley)
4273
4274
* ``bzr pull --overwrite`` will now correctly overwrite checkouts.
4275
(Robert Collins)
4276
4277
* Files are now allowed to change kind (e.g. from file to symlink).
4278
Supported by ``commit``, ``revert`` and ``status``
4279
(Aaron Bentley)
4280
4281
* ``inventory`` and ``unknowns`` hidden in favour of ``ls``
4282
(Aaron Bentley)
4283
4284
* ``bzr help checkouts`` descibes what checkouts are and some possible
4285
uses of them. (James Westby, Aaron Bentley)
4286
4287
* A new ``-d`` option to push, pull and merge overrides the default
4288
directory. (Martin Pool)
4289
4290
* Branch format 6: smaller, and potentially faster than format 5. Supports
4291
``append_history_only`` mode, where the log view and revnos do not change,
4292
except by being added to. Stores policy settings in
4293
".bzr/branch/branch.conf".
4294
4295
* ``append_only`` branches: Format 6 branches may be configured so that log
4296
view and revnos are always consistent. Either create the branch using
4297
"bzr init --append-revisions-only" or edit the config file as descriped
4298
in docs/configuration.txt.
4299
4300
* rebind: Format 6 branches retain the last-used bind location, so if you
4301
"bzr unbind", you can "bzr bind" to bind to the previously-selected
4302
bind location.
4303
4304
* Builtin tags support, created and deleted by the ``tag`` command and
4305
stored in the branch. Tags can be accessed with the revisionspec
4306
``-rtag:``, and listed with ``bzr tags``. Tags are not versioned
4307
at present. Tags require a network incompatible upgrade. To perform this
4308
upgrade, run ``bzr upgrade --dirstate-tags`` in your branch and
4309
repositories. (Martin Pool)
4310
4311
* The ``bzr://`` transport now has a well-known port number, 4155,
4312
which it will use by default. (Andrew Bennetts, Martin Pool)
4313
4314
* Bazaar now looks for user-installed plugins before looking for site-wide
4315
plugins. (Jonathan Lange)
4316
4317
* ``bzr resolve`` now detects and marks resolved text conflicts.
4318
(Aaron Bentley)
4319
4320
INTERNALS:
4321
4322
* Internally revision ids and file ids are now passed around as utf-8
4323
bytestrings, rather than treating them as Unicode strings. This has
4324
performance benefits for Knits, since we no longer need to decode the
4325
revision id for each line of content, nor for each entry in the index.
4326
This will also help with the future dirstate format.
4327
(John Arbash Meinel)
4328
4329
* Reserved ids (any revision-id ending in a colon) are rejected by
4330
versionedfiles, repositories, branches, and working trees
4331
(Aaron Bentley)
4332
4333
* Minor performance improvement by not creating a ProgressBar for
4334
every KnitIndex we create. (about 90ms for a bzr.dev tree)
4335
(John Arbash Meinel)
4336
4337
* New easier to use Branch hooks facility. There are five initial hooks,
4338
all documented in bzrlib.branch.BranchHooks.__init__ - ``'set_rh'``,
4339
``'post_push'``, ``'post_pull'``, ``'post_commit'``,
4340
``'post_uncommit'``. These hooks fire after the matching operation
4341
on a branch has taken place, and were originally added for the
4342
branchrss plugin. (Robert Collins)
4343
4344
* New method ``Branch.push()`` which should be used when pushing from a
4345
branch as it makes performance and policy decisions to match the UI
4346
level command ``push``. (Robert Collins).
4347
4348
* Add a new method ``Tree.revision_tree`` which allows access to cached
4349
trees for arbitrary revisions. This allows the in development dirstate
4350
tree format to provide access to the callers to cached copies of
4351
inventory data which are cheaper to access than inventories from the
4352
repository.
4353
(Robert Collins, Martin Pool)
4354
4355
* New ``Branch.last_revision_info`` method, this is being done to allow
4356
optimization of requests for both the number of revisions and the last
4357
revision of a branch with smartservers and potentially future branch
4358
formats. (Wouter van Heyst, Robert Collins)
4359
4360
* Allow ``'import bzrlib.plugins.NAME'`` to work when the plugin NAME has not
4361
yet been loaded by ``load_plugins()``. This allows plugins to depend on each
4362
other for code reuse without requiring users to perform file-renaming
4363
gymnastics. (Robert Collins)
4364
4365
* New Repository method ``'gather_stats'`` for statistic data collection.
4366
This is expected to grow to cover a number of related uses mainly
4367
related to bzr info. (Robert Collins)
4368
4369
* Log formatters are now managed with a registry.
4370
``log.register_formatter`` continues to work, but callers accessing
4371
the FORMATTERS dictionary directly will not.
4372
4373
* Allow a start message to be passed to the ``edit_commit_message``
4374
function. This will be placed in the message offered to the user
4375
for editing above the separator. It allows a template commit message
4376
to be used more easily. (James Westby)
4377
4378
* ``GPGStrategy.sign()`` will now raise ``BzrBadParameterUnicode`` if
4379
you pass a Unicode string rather than an 8-bit string. Callers need
4380
to be updated to encode first. (John Arbash Meinel)
4381
4382
* Branch.push, pull, merge now return Result objects with information
4383
about what happened, rather than a scattering of various methods. These
4384
are also passed to the post hooks. (Martin Pool)
4385
4386
* File formats and architecture is in place for managing a forest of trees
4387
in bzr, and splitting up existing trees into smaller subtrees, and
4388
finally joining trees to make a larger tree. This is the first iteration
4389
of this support, and the user-facing aspects still require substantial
4390
work. If you wish to experiment with it, use ``bzr upgrade
4391
--dirstate-with-subtree`` in your working trees and repositories.
4392
You can use the hidden commands ``split`` and ``join`` and to create
4393
and manipulate nested trees, but please consider using the nested-trees
4394
branch, which contains substantial UI improvements, instead.
4395
http://code.aaronbentley.com/bzr/bzrrepo/nested-trees/
4396
(Aaron Bentley, Martin Pool, Robert Collins).
4397
4398
BUGFIXES:
4399
4400
* ``bzr annotate`` now uses dotted revnos from the viewpoint of the
4401
branch, rather than the last changed revision of the file.
4402
(John Arbash Meinel, #82158)
4403
4404
* Lock operations no longer hang if they encounter a permission problem.
4405
(Aaron Bentley)
4406
4407
* ``bzr push`` can resume a push that was canceled before it finished.
4408
Also, it can push even if the target directory exists if you supply
4409
the ``--use-existing-dir`` flag.
4410
(John Arbash Meinel, #30576, #45504)
4411
4412
* Fix http proxy authentication when user and an optional
4413
password appears in the ``*_proxy`` vars. (Vincent Ladeuil,
4414
#83954).
4415
4416
* ``bzr log branch/file`` works for local treeless branches
4417
(Aaron Bentley, #84247)
4418
4419
* Fix problem with UNC paths on Windows 98. (Alexander Belchenko, #84728)
4420
4421
* Searching location of CA bundle for PyCurl in env variable
4422
(``CURL_CA_BUNDLE``), and on win32 along the PATH.
4423
(Alexander Belchenko, #82086)
4424
4425
* ``bzr init`` works with unicode argument LOCATION.
4426
(Alexander Belchenko, #85599)
4427
4428
* Raise ``DependencyNotPresent`` if pycurl do not support https.
4429
(Vincent Ladeuil, #85305)
4430
4431
* Invalid proxy env variables should not cause a traceback.
4432
(Vincent Ladeuil, #87765)
4433
4434
* Ignore patterns normalised to use '/' path separator.
4435
(Kent Gibson, #86451)
4436
4437
* bzr rocks. It sure does! Fix case. (Vincent Ladeuil, #78026)
4438
4439
* Fix bzrtools shelve command for removed lines beginning with "--"
4440
(Johan Dahlberg, #75577)
4441
4442
TESTING:
4443
4444
* New ``--first`` option to ``bzr selftest`` to run specified tests
4445
before the rest of the suite. (Martin Pool)

4451
IMPROVEMENTS:

4453
* ``bzr help global-options`` describes the global options. (Aaron Bentley)
4454
4455
BUG FIXES:
4456
4457
* Skip documentation generation tests if the tools to do so are not
4458
available. Fixes running selftest for installled copies of bzr.
4459
(John Arbash Meinel, #80330)
4460
4461
* Fix the code that discovers whether bzr is being run from it's
4462
working tree to handle the case when it isn't but the directory
4463
it is in is below a repository. (James Westby, #77306)

4466
bzr 0.14rc1 2007-01-16
4467
-----------------------
4468
4469
IMPROVEMENTS:
4470
4471
* New connection: ``bzr+http://`` which supports tunnelling the smart
4472
protocol over an HTTP connection. If writing is enabled on the bzr
4473
server, then you can write over the http connection.
4474
(Andrew Bennetts, John Arbash Meinel)
4475
4476
* Aliases now support quotation marks, so they can contain whitespace
4477
(Marius Kruger)
4478
4479
* PyCurlTransport now use a single curl object. By specifying explicitly
4480
the 'Range' header, we avoid the need to use two different curl objects
4481
(and two connections to the same server). (Vincent Ladeuil)
4482
4483
* ``bzr commit`` does not prompt for a message until it is very likely to
4484
succeed. (Aaron Bentley)
4485
4486
* ``bzr conflicts`` now takes --text to list pathnames of text conflicts
4487
(Aaron Bentley)
4488
4489
* Fix ``iter_lines_added_or_present_in_versions`` to use a set instead
4490
of a list while checking if a revision id was requested. Takes 10s
4491
off of the ``fileids_affected_by_revision_ids`` time, which is 10s
4492
of the ``bzr branch`` time. Also improve ``fileids_...`` time by
4493
filtering lines with a regex rather than multiple ``str.find()``
4494
calls. (saves another 300ms) (John Arbash Meinel)
4495
4496
* Policy can be set for each configuration key. This allows keys to be
4497
inherited properly across configuration entries. For example, this
4498
should enable you to do::
4499
4500
[/home/user/project]
4501
push_location = sftp://host/srv/project/
4502
push_location:policy = appendpath
4503
4504
And then a branch like ``/home/user/project/mybranch`` should get an
4505
automatic push location of ``sftp://host/srv/project/mybranch``.
4506
(James Henstridge)
4507
4508
* Added ``bzr status --short`` to make status report svn style flags
4509
for each file. For example::
4510
4511
$ bzr status --short
4512
A foo
4513
A bar
4514
D baz
4515
? wooley
4516
4517
* 'bzr selftest --clean-output' allows easily clean temporary tests
4518
directories without running tests. (Alexander Belchenko)
4519
4520
* ``bzr help hidden-commands`` lists all hidden commands. (Aaron Bentley)
4521
4522
* ``bzr merge`` now has an option ``--pull`` to fall back to pull if
4523
local is fully merged into remote. (Jan Hudec)
4524
4525
* ``bzr help formats`` describes available directory formats. (Aaron Bentley)
4526
4527
INTERNALS:
4528
4529
* A few tweaks directly to ``fileids_affected_by_revision_ids`` to
4530
help speed up processing, as well allowing to extract unannotated
4531
lines. Between the two ``fileids_affected_by_revision_ids`` is
4532
improved by approx 10%. (John Arbash Meinel)
4533
4534
* Change Revision serialization to only write out millisecond
4535
resolution. Rather than expecting floating point serialization to
4536
preserve more resolution than we need. (Henri Weichers, Martin Pool)
4537
4538
* Test suite ends cleanly on Windows. (Vincent Ladeuil)
4539
4540
* When ``encoding_type`` attribute of class Command is equal to 'exact',
4541
force sys.stdout to be a binary stream on Windows, and therefore
4542
keep exact line-endings (without LF -> CRLF conversion).
4543
(Alexander Belchenko)
4544
4545
* Single-letter short options are no longer globally declared. (Martin
4546
Pool)
4547
4548
* Before using detected user/terminal encoding bzr should check
4549
that Python has corresponding codec. (Alexander Belchenko)
4550
4551
* Formats for end-user selection are provided via a FormatRegistry (Aaron Bentley)
4552
4553
BUG FIXES:
4554
4555
* ``bzr missing --verbose`` was showing adds/removals in the wrong
4556
direction. (John Arbash Meinel)
4557
4558
* ``bzr annotate`` now defaults to showing dotted revnos for merged
4559
revisions. It cuts them off at a depth of 12 characters, but you can
4560
supply ``--long`` to see the full number. You can also use
4561
``--show-ids`` to display the original revision ids, rather than
4562
revision numbers and committer names. (John Arbash Meinel, #75637)
4563
4564
* bzr now supports Win32 UNC path (e.g. ``\HOST\path``.
4565
(Alexander Belchenko, #57869)
4566
4567
* Win32-specific: output of cat, bundle and diff commands don't mangle
4568
line-endings (Alexander Belchenko, #55276)
4569
4570
* Replace broken fnmatch based ignore pattern matching with custom pattern
4571
matcher.
4572
(Kent Gibson, Jan Hudec #57637)
4573
4574
* pycurl and urllib can detect short reads at different places. Update
4575
the test suite to test more cases. Also detect http error code 416
4576
which was raised for that specific bug. Also enhance the urllib
4577
robustness by detecting invalid ranges (and pycurl's one by detecting
4578
short reads during the initial GET). (Vincent Ladeuil, #73948)
4579
4580
* The urllib connection sharing interacts badly with urllib2
4581
proxy setting (the connections didn't go thru the proxy
4582
anymore). Defining a proper ProxyHandler solves the
4583
problem. (Vincent Ladeuil, #74759)
4584
4585
* Use urlutils to generate relative URLs, not osutils
4586
(Aaron Bentley, #76229)
4587
4588
* ``bzr status`` in a readonly directory should work without giving
4589
lots of errors. (John Arbash Meinel, #76299)
4590
4591
* Mention the revisionspec topic for the revision option help.
4592
(Wouter van Heyst, #31663)

4604
-----------------------
4605
4606
IMPROVEMENTS:
4607
4608
* New command ``bzr remove-tree`` allows the removal of the working
4609
tree from a branch.
4610
(Daniel Silverstone)
4611
4612
* urllib uses shared keep-alive connections, so http
4613
operations are substantially faster.
4614
(Vincent Ladeuil, #53654)
4615
4616
* ``bzr export`` allows an optional branch parameter, to export a bzr
4617
tree from some other url. For example:
4618
``bzr export bzr.tar.gz http://bazaar-vcs.org/bzr/bzr.dev``
4619
(Daniel Silverstone)
4620
4621
* Added ``bzr help topics`` to the bzr help system. This gives a
4622
location for general information, outside of a specific command.
4623
This includes updates for ``bzr help revisionspec`` the first topic
4624
included. (Goffredo Baroncelli, John Arbash Meinel, #42714)
4625
4626
* WSGI-compatible HTTP smart server. See ``doc/http_smart_server.txt``.
4627
(Andrew Bennetts)
4628
4629
* Knit files will now cache full texts only when the size of the
4630
deltas is as large as the size of the fulltext. (Or after 200
4631
deltas, whichever comes first). This has the most benefit on large
4632
files with small changes, such as the inventory for a large project.
4633
(eg For a project with 2500 files, and 7500 revisions, it changes
4634
the size of inventory.knit from 11MB to 5.4MB) (John Arbash Meinel)
4635
4636
INTERNALS:
4637
4638
* New -D option given before the command line turns on debugging output
4639
for particular areas. -Derror shows tracebacks on all errors.
4640
(Martin Pool)
4641
4642
* Clean up ``bzr selftest --benchmark bundle`` to correct an import,
4643
and remove benchmarks that take longer than 10min to run.
4644
(John Arbash Meinel)
4645
4646
* Use ``time.time()`` instead of ``time.clock()`` to decide on
4647
progress throttling. Because ``time.clock()`` is actually CPU time,
4648
so over a high-latency connection, too many updates get throttled.
4649
(John Arbash Meinel)
4650
4651
* ``MemoryTransport.list_dir()`` would strip the first character for
4652
files or directories in root directory. (John Arbash Meinel)
4653
4654
* New method ``get_branch_reference`` on 'BzrDir' allows the detection of
4655
branch references - which the smart server component needs.
4656
4657
* New ``ChrootTransportDecorator``, accessible via the ``chroot+`` url
4658
prefix. It disallows any access to locations above a set URL. (Andrew
4659
Bennetts)
4660
4661
BUG FIXES:
4662
4663
* Now ``_KnitIndex`` properly decode revision ids when loading index data.
4664
And optimize the knit index parsing code.
4665
(Dmitry Vasiliev, John Arbash Meinel)
4666
4667
* ``bzrlib/bzrdir.py`` was directly referencing ``bzrlib.workingtree``,
4668
without importing it. This prevented ``bzr upgrade`` from working
4669
unless a plugin already imported ``bzrlib.workingtree``
4670
(John Arbash Meinel, #70716)
4671
4672
* Suppress the traceback on invalid URLs (Vincent Ladeuil, #70803).
4673
4674
* Give nicer error message when an http server returns a 403
4675
error code. (Vincent Ladeuil, #57644).
4676
4677
* When a multi-range http GET request fails, try a single
4678
range one. If it fails too, forget about ranges. Remember that until
4679
the death of the transport and propagates that to the clones.
4680
(Vincent Ladeuil, #62276, #62029).
4681
4682
* Handles user/passwords supplied in url from command
4683
line (for the urllib implementation). Don't request already
4684
known passwords (Vincent Ladeuil, #42383, #44647, #48527)
4685
4686
* ``_KnitIndex.add_versions()`` dictionary compresses revision ids as they
4687
are added. This fixes bug where fetching remote revisions records
4688
them as full references rather than integers.
4689
(John Arbash Meinel, #64789)
4690
4691
* ``bzr ignore`` strips trailing slashes in patterns.
4692
Also ``bzr ignore`` rejects absolute paths. (Kent Gibson, #4559)
4693
4694
* ``bzr ignore`` takes multiple arguments. (Cheuksan Edward Wang, #29488)
4695
4696
* mv correctly handles paths that traverse symlinks.
4697
(Aaron Bentley, #66964)
4698
4699
* Give nicer looking error messages when failing to connect over ssh.
4700
(John Arbash Meinel, #49172)
4701
4702
* Pushing to a remote branch does not currently update the remote working
4703
tree. After a remote push, ``bzr status`` and ``bzr diff`` on the remote
4704
machine now show that the working tree is out of date.
4705
(Cheuksan Edward Wang #48136)
4706
4707
* Use patiencediff instead of difflib for determining deltas to insert
4708
into knits. This avoids the O(N^3) behavior of difflib. Patience
4709
diff should be O(N^2). (Cheuksan Edward Wang, #65714)
4710
4711
* Running ``bzr log`` on nonexistent file gives an error instead of the
4712
entire log history. (Cheuksan Edward Wang #50793)
4713
4714
* ``bzr cat`` can look up contents of removed or renamed files. If the
4715
pathname is ambiguous, i.e. the files in the old and new trees have
4716
different id's, the default is the file in the new tree. The user can
4717
use "--name-from-revision" to select the file in the old tree.
4718
(Cheuksan Edward Wang, #30190)
4719
4720
TESTING:
4721
4722
* TestingHTTPRequestHandler really handles the Range header
4723
(previously it was ignoring it and returning the whole file,).
4724
4725
bzr 0.12 2006-10-30
4726
--------------------
4727
4728
INTERNALS:
4729
4730
* Clean up ``bzr selftest --benchmark bundle`` to correct an import,
4731
and remove benchmarks that take longer than 10min to run.
4732
(John Arbash Meinel)
4733
4734
bzr 0.12rc1 2006-10-23
4735
-----------------------
4736
4737
IMPROVEMENTS:
4738
4739
* ``bzr log`` now shows dotted-decimal revision numbers for all revisions,
4740
rather than just showing a decimal revision number for revisions on the
4741
mainline. These revision numbers are not yet accepted as input into bzr
4742
commands such as log, diff etc. (Robert Collins)
4743
4744
* revisions can now be specified using dotted-decimal revision numbers.
4745
For instance, ``bzr diff -r 1.2.1..1.2.3``. (Robert Collins)
4746
4747
* ``bzr help commands`` output is now shorter (Aaron Bentley)
4748
4749
* ``bzr`` now uses lazy importing to reduce the startup time. This has
4750
a moderate effect on lots of actions, especially ones that have
4751
little to do. For example ``bzr rocks`` time is down to 116ms from
4752
283ms. (John Arbash Meinel)
4753
4754
* New Registry class to provide name-to-object registry-like support,
4755
for example for schemes where plugins can register new classes to
4756
do certain tasks (e.g. log formatters). Also provides lazy registration
4757
to allow modules to be loaded on request.
4758
(John Arbash Meinel, Adeodato Simó)
4759
4760
API INCOMPATABILITY:
4761
4762
* LogFormatter subclasses show now expect the 'revno' parameter to
4763
show() to be a string rather than an int. (Robert Collins)
4764
4765
INTERNALS:
4766
4767
* ``TestCase.run_bzr``, ``run_bzr_captured``, and ``run_bzr_subprocess``
4768
can take a ``working_dir='foo'`` parameter, which will change directory
4769
for the command. (John Arbash Meinel)
4770
4771
* ``bzrlib.lazy_regex.lazy_compile`` can be used to create a proxy
4772
around a regex, which defers compilation until first use.
4773
(John Arbash Meinel)
4774
4775
* ``TestCase.run_bzr_subprocess`` defaults to supplying the
4776
``--no-plugins`` parameter to ensure test reproducability, and avoid
4777
problems with system-wide installed plugins. (John Arbash Meinel)
4778
4779
* Unique tree root ids are now supported. Newly created trees still
4780
use the common root id for compatibility with bzr versions before 0.12.
4781
(Aaron Bentley)
4782
4783
* ``WorkingTree.set_root_id(None)`` is now deprecated. Please
4784
pass in ``inventory.ROOT_ID`` if you want the default root id value.
4785
(Robert Collins, John Arbash Meinel)
4786
4787
* New method ``WorkingTree.flush()`` which will write the current memory
4788
inventory out to disk. At the same time, ``read_working_inventory`` will
4789
no longer trash the current tree inventory if it has been modified within
4790
the current lock, and the tree will now ``flush()`` automatically on
4791
``unlock()``. ``WorkingTree.set_root_id()`` has been updated to take
4792
advantage of this functionality. (Robert Collins, John Arbash Meinel)
4793
4794
* ``bzrlib.tsort.merge_sorted`` now accepts ``generate_revnos``. This
4795
parameter will cause it to add another column to its output, which
4796
contains the dotted-decimal revno for each revision, as a tuple.
4797
(Robert Collins)
4798
4799
* ``LogFormatter.show_merge`` is deprecated in favour of
4800
``LogFormatter.show_merge_revno``. (Robert Collins)
4801
4802
BUG FIXES:
4803
4804
* Avoid circular imports by creating a deprecated function for
4805
``bzrlib.tree.RevisionTree``. Callers should have been using
4806
``bzrlib.revisontree.RevisionTree`` anyway. (John Arbash Meinel,
4807
#63360, #66349)
4808
4809
* Don't use ``socket.MSG_WAITALL`` as it doesn't exist on all
4810
platforms. (Martin Pool, #66356)
4811
4812
* Don't require ``Content-Type`` in range responses. Assume they are a
4813
single range if ``Content-Type`` does not exist.
4814
(John Arbash Meinel, #62473)
4815
4816
* bzr branch/pull no longer complain about progress bar cleanup when
4817
interrupted during fetch. (Aaron Bentley, #54000)
4818
4819
* ``WorkingTree.set_parent_trees()`` uses the trees to directly write
4820
the basis inventory, rather than going through the repository. This
4821
allows us to have 1 inventory read, and 2 inventory writes when
4822
committing a new tree. (John Arbash Meinel)
4823
4824
* When reverting, files that are not locally modified that do not exist
4825
in the target are deleted, not just unversioned (Aaron Bentley)
4826
4827
* When trying to acquire a lock, don't fail immediately. Instead, try
4828
a few times (up to 1 hour) before timing out. Also, report why the
4829
lock is unavailable (John Arbash Meinel, #43521, #49556)
4830
4831
* Leave HttpTransportBase daughter classes decides how they
4832
implement cloning. (Vincent Ladeuil, #61606)
4833
4834
* diff3 does not indicate conflicts on clean merge. (Aaron Bentley)
4835
4836
* If a commit fails, the commit message is stored in a file at the root of
4837
the tree for later commit. (Cheuksan Edward Wang, Stefan Metzmacher,
4838
#32054)
4839
4840
TESTING:
4841
4842
* New test base class TestCaseWithMemoryTransport offers memory-only
4843
testing facilities: its not suitable for tests that need to mutate disk
4844
state, but most tests should not need that and should be converted to
4845
TestCaseWithMemoryTransport. (Robert Collins)
4846
4847
* ``TestCase.make_branch_and_memory_tree`` now takes a format
4848
option to set the BzrDir, Repository and Branch formats of the
4849
created objects. (Robert Collins, John Arbash Meinel)
4850
4851
bzr 0.11 2006-10-02
4852
--------------------
4853
4854
* Smart server transport test failures on windows fixed. (Lukáš Lalinský).
4855
4856
bzr 0.11rc2 2006-09-27
4857
-----------------------
4858
4859
BUG FIXES:
4860
4861
* Test suite hangs on windows fixed. (Andrew Bennets, Alexander Belchenko).
4862
4863
* Commit performance regression fixed. (Aaron Bentley, Robert Collins, John
4864
Arbash Meinel).
4865
4866
bzr 0.11rc1 2006-09-25
4867
-----------------------
4868
4869
IMPROVEMENTS:
4870
4871
* Knit files now wait to create their contents until the first data is
4872
added. The old code used to create an empty .knit and a .kndx with just
4873
the header. However, this caused a lot of extra round trips over sftp.
4874
This can change the time for ``bzr push`` to create a new remote branch
4875
from 160s down to 100s. This also affects ``bzr commit`` performance when
4876
adding new files, ``bzr commit`` on a new kernel-like tree drops from 50s
4877
down to 40s (John Arbash Meinel, #44692)
4878
4879
* When an entire subtree has been deleted, commit will now report that
4880
just the top of the subtree has been deleted, rather than reporting
4881
all the individual items. (Robert Collins)
4882
4883
* Commit performs one less XML parse. (Robert Collins)
4884
4885
* ``bzr checkout`` now operates on readonly branches as well
4886
as readwrite branches. This fixes bug #39542. (Robert Collins)
4887
4888
* ``bzr bind`` no longer synchronises history with the master branch.
4889
Binding should be followed by an update or push to synchronise the
4890
two branches. This is closely related to the fix for bug #39542.
4891
(Robert Collins)
4892
4893
* ``bzrlib.lazy_import.lazy_import`` function to create on-demand
4894
objects. This allows all imports to stay at the global scope, but
4895
modules will not actually be imported if they are not used.
4896
(John Arbash Meinel)
4897
4898
* Support ``bzr://`` and ``bzr+ssh://`` urls to work with the new RPC-based
4899
transport which will be used with the upcoming high-performance smart
4900
server. The new command ``bzr serve`` will invoke bzr in server mode,
4901
which processes these requests. (Andrew Bennetts, Robert Collins, Martin
4902
Pool)
4903
4904
* New command ``bzr version-info`` which can be used to get a summary
4905
of the current state of the tree. This is especially useful as part
4906
of a build commands. See ``doc/version_info.txt`` for more information
4907
(John Arbash Meinel)
4908
4909
BUG FIXES:
4910
4911
* ``'bzr inventory [FILE...]'`` allows restricting the file list to a
4912
specific set of files. (John Arbash Meinel, #3631)
4913
4914
* Don't abort when annotating empty files (John Arbash Meinel, #56814)
4915
4916
* Add ``Stanza.to_unicode()`` which can be passed to another Stanza
4917
when nesting stanzas. Also, add ``read_stanza_unicode`` to handle when
4918
reading a nested Stanza. (John Arbash Meinel)
4919
4920
* Transform._set_mode() needs to stat the right file.
4921
(John Arbash Meinel, #56549)
4922
4923
* Raise WeaveFormatError rather than StopIteration when trying to read
4924
an empty Weave file. (John Arbash Meinel, #46871)
4925
4926
* Don't access e.code for generic URLErrors, only HTTPErrors have .code.
4927
(Vincent Ladeuil, #59835)
4928
4929
* Handle boundary="" lines properly to allow access through a Squid proxy.
4930
(John Arbash Meinel, #57723)
4931
4932
* revert now removes newly-added directories (Aaron Bentley, #54172)
4933
4934
* ``bzr upgrade sftp://`` shouldn't fail to upgrade v6 branches if there
4935
isn't a working tree. (David Allouche, #40679)
4936
4937
* Give nicer error messages when a user supplies an invalid --revision
4938
parameter. (John Arbash Meinel, #55420)
4939
4940
* Handle when LANG is not recognized by python. Emit a warning, but
4941
just revert to using 'ascii'. (John Arbash Meinel, #35392)
4942
4943
* Don't use ``preexec_fn`` on win32, as it is not supported by subprocess.
4944
(John Arbash Meinel)
4945
4946
* Skip specific tests when the dependencies aren't met. This includes
4947
some ``setup.py`` tests when ``python-dev`` is not available, and
4948
some tests that depend on paramiko. (John Arbash Meinel, Mattheiu Moy)
4949
4950
* Fallback to Paramiko properly, if no ``ssh`` executable exists on
4951
the system. (Andrew Bennetts, John Arbash Meinel)
4952
4953
* ``Branch.bind(other_branch)`` no longer takes a write lock on the
4954
other branch, and will not push or pull between the two branches.
4955
API users will need to perform a push or pull or update operation if they
4956
require branch synchronisation to take place. (Robert Collins, #47344)
4957
4958
* When creating a tarball or zipfile export, export unicode names as utf-8
4959
paths. This may not work perfectly on all platforms, but has the best
4960
chance of working in the common case. (John Arbash Meinel, #56816)
4961
4962
* When committing, only files that exist in working tree or basis tree
4963
may be specified (Aaron Bentley, #50793)
4964
4965
PORTABILITY:
4966
4967
* Fixes to run on Python 2.5 (Brian M. Carlson, Martin Pool, Marien Zwart)
4968
4969
INTERNALS:
4970
4971
* TestCaseInTempDir now creates a separate directory for HOME, rather
4972
than having HOME set to the same location as the working directory.
4973
(John Arbash Meinel)
4974
4975
* ``run_bzr_subprocess()`` can take an optional ``env_changes={}`` parameter,
4976
which will update os.environ inside the spawned child. It also can
4977
take a ``universal_newlines=True``, which helps when checking the output
4978
of the command. (John Arbash Meinel)
4979
4980
* Refactor SFTP vendors to allow easier re-use when ssh is used.
4981
(Andrew Bennetts)
4982
4983
* ``Transport.list_dir()`` and ``Transport.iter_files_recursive()`` should always
4984
return urlescaped paths. This is now tested (there were bugs in a few
4985
of the transports) (Andrew Bennetts, David Allouche, John Arbash Meinel)
4986
4987
* New utility function ``symbol_versioning.deprecation_string``. Returns the
4988
formatted string for a callable, deprecation format pair. (Robert Collins)
4989
4990
* New TestCase helper applyDeprecated. This allows you to call a callable
4991
which is deprecated without it spewing to the screen, just by supplying
4992
the deprecation format string issued for it. (Robert Collins)
4993
4994
* Transport.append and Transport.put have been deprecated in favor of
4995
``.append_bytes``, ``.append_file``, ``.put_bytes``, and
4996
``.put_file``. This removes the ambiguity in what type of object the
4997
functions take. ``Transport.non_atomic_put_{bytes,file}`` has also
4998
been added. Which works similarly to ``Transport.append()`` except for
4999
SFTP, it doesn't have a round trip when opening the file. Also, it
5000
provides functionality for creating a parent directory when trying
5001
to create a file, rather than raise NoSuchFile and forcing the
5002
caller to repeat their request.
5003
(John Arbash Meinel)
5004
5005
* WorkingTree has a new api ``unversion`` which allow the unversioning of
5006
entries by their file id. (Robert Collins)
5007
5008
* ``WorkingTree.pending_merges`` is deprecated. Please use the
5009
``get_parent_ids`` (introduced in 0.10) method instead. (Robert Collins)
5010
5011
* WorkingTree has a new ``lock_tree_write`` method which locks the branch for
5012
read rather than write. This is appropriate for actions which only need
5013
the branch data for reference rather than mutation. A new decorator
5014
``needs_tree_write_lock`` is provided in the workingtree module. Like the
5015
``needs_read_lock`` and ``needs_write_lock`` decorators this allows static
5016
declaration of the locking requirements of a function to ensure that
5017
a lock is taken out for casual scripts. (Robert Collins, #54107)
5018
5019
* All WorkingTree methods which write to the tree, but not to the branch
5020
have been converted to use ``needs_tree_write_lock`` rather than
5021
``needs_write_lock``. Also converted is the revert, conflicts and tree
5022
transform modules. This provides a modest performance improvement on
5023
metadir style trees, due to the reduce lock-acquisition, and a more
5024
significant performance improvement on lightweight checkouts from
5025
remote branches, where trivial operations used to pay a significant
5026
penalty. It also provides the basis for allowing readonly checkouts.
5027
(Robert Collins)
5028
5029
* Special case importing the standard library 'copy' module. This shaves
5030
off 40ms of startup time, while retaining compatibility. See:
5031
``bzrlib/inspect_for_copy.py`` for more details. (John Arbash Meinel)
5032
5033
* WorkingTree has a new parent class MutableTree which represents the
5034
specialisations of Tree which are able to be altered. (Robert Collins)
5035
5036
* New methods mkdir and ``put_file_bytes_non_atomic`` on MutableTree that
5037
mutate the tree and its contents. (Robert Collins)
5038
5039
* Transport behaviour at the root of the URL is now defined and tested.
5040
(Andrew Bennetts, Robert Collins)
5041
5042
TESTING:
5043
5044
* New test helper classs MemoryTree. This is typically accessed via
5045
``self.make_branch_and_memory_tree()`` in test cases. (Robert Collins)
5046
5047
* Add ``start_bzr_subprocess`` and ``stop_bzr_subprocess`` to allow test
5048
code to continue running concurrently with a subprocess of bzr.
5049
(Andrew Bennetts, Robert Collins)
5050
5051
* Add a new method ``Transport.get_smart_client()``. This is provided to
5052
allow upgrades to a richer interface than the VFS one provided by
5053
Transport. (Andrew Bennetts, Martin Pool)
5054
5055
bzr 0.10 2006-08-29
5056
--------------------
5057
5058
IMPROVEMENTS:
5059
* 'merge' now takes --uncommitted, to apply uncommitted changes from a
5060
tree. (Aaron Bentley)
5061
5062
* 'bzr add --file-ids-from' can be used to specify another path to use
5063
for creating file ids, rather than generating all new ones. Internally,
5064
the 'action' passed to ``smart_add_tree()`` can return ``file_ids`` that
5065
will be used, rather than having bzrlib generate new ones.
5066
(John Arbash Meinel, #55781)
5067
5068
* ``bzr selftest --benchmark`` now allows a ``--cache-dir`` parameter.
5069
This will cache some of the intermediate trees, and decrease the
5070
setup time for benchmark tests. (John Arbash Meinel)
5071
5072
* Inverse forms are provided for all boolean options. For example,
5073
--strict has --no-strict, --no-recurse has --recurse (Aaron Bentley)
5074
5075
* Serialize out Inventories directly, rather than using ElementTree.
5076
Writing out a kernel sized inventory drops from 2s down to ~350ms.
5077
(Robert Collins, John Arbash Meinel)
5078
5079
BUG FIXES:
5080
5081
* Help diffutils 2.8.4 get along with binary tests (Marien Zwart: #57614)
5082
5083
* Change LockDir so that if the lock directory doesn't exist when
5084
``lock_write()`` is called, an attempt will be made to create it.
5085
(John Arbash Meinel, #56974)
5086
5087
* ``bzr uncommit`` preserves pending merges. (John Arbash Meinel, #57660)
5088
5089
* Active FTP transport now works as intended. (ghozzy, #56472)
5090
5091
* Really fix mutter() so that it won't ever raise a UnicodeError.
5092
It means it is possible for ~/.bzr.log to contain non UTF-8 characters.
5093
But it is a debugging log, not a real user file.
5094
(John Arbash Meinel, #56947, #53880)
5095
5096
* Change Command handle to allow Unicode command and options.
5097
At present we cannot register Unicode command names, so we will get
5098
BzrCommandError('unknown command'), or BzrCommandError('unknown option')
5099
But that is better than a UnicodeError + a traceback.
5100
(John Arbash Meinel, #57123)
5101
5102
* Handle TZ=UTC properly when reading/writing revisions.
5103
(John Arbash Meinel, #55783, #56290)
5104
5105
* Use ``GPG_TTY`` to allow gpg --cl to work with gpg-agent in a pipeline,
5106
(passing text to sign in on stdin). (John Arbash Meinel, #54468)
5107
5108
* External diff does the right thing for binaries even in foreign
5109
languages. (John Arbash Meinel, #56307)
5110
5111
* Testament handles more cases when content is unicode. Specific bug was
5112
in handling of revision properties.
5113
(John Arbash Meinel, Holger Krekel, #54723)
5114
5115
* The bzr selftest was failing on installed versions due to a bug in a new
5116
test helper. (John Arbash Meinel, Robert Collins, #58057)
5117
5118
INTERNALS:
5119
5120
* ``bzrlib.cache_utf8`` contains ``encode()`` and ``decode()`` functions
5121
which can be used to cache the conversion between utf8 and Unicode.
5122
Especially helpful for some of the knit annotation code, which has to
5123
convert revision ids to utf8 to annotate lines in storage.
5124
(John Arbash Meinel)
5125
5126
* ``setup.py`` now searches the filesystem to find all packages which
5127
need to be installed. This should help make the life of packagers
5128
easier. (John Arbash Meinel)
5129
5130
bzr 0.9.0 2006-08-11
5131
---------------------
5132
5133
SURPRISES:
5134
5135
* The hard-coded built-in ignore rules have been removed. There are
5136
now two rulesets which are enforced. A user global one in
5137
``~/.bazaar/ignore`` which will apply to every tree, and the tree
5138
specific one '.bzrignore'.
5139
``~/.bazaar/ignore`` will be created if it does not exist, but with
5140
a more conservative list than the old default.
5141
This fixes bugs with default rules being enforced no matter what.
5142
The old list of ignore rules from bzr is available by
5143
running 'bzr ignore --old-default-rules'.
5144
(Robert Collins, Martin Pool, John Arbash Meinel)
5145
5146
* 'branches.conf' has been changed to 'locations.conf', since it can apply
5147
to more locations than just branch locations.
5148
(Aaron Bentley)
5149
5150
IMPROVEMENTS:
5151
5152
* The revision specifier "revno:" is extended to accept the syntax
5153
revno:N:branch. For example,
5154
revno:42:http://bazaar-vcs.org/bzr/bzr.dev/ means revision 42 in
5155
bzr.dev. (Matthieu Moy)
5156
5157
* Tests updates to ensure proper URL handling, UNICODE support, and
5158
proper printing when the user's terminal encoding cannot display
5159
the path of a file that has been versioned.
5160
``bzr branch`` can take a target URL rather than only a local directory.
5161
``Branch.get_parent()/set_parent()`` now save a relative path if possible,
5162
and normalize the parent based on root, allowing access across
5163
different transports. (John Arbash Meinel, Wouter van Heyst, Martin Pool)
5164
(Malone #48906, #42699, #40675, #5281, #3980, #36363, #43689,
5165
#42517, #42514)
5166
5167
* On Unix, detect terminal width using an ioctl not just $COLUMNS.
5168
Use terminal width for single-line logs from ``bzr log --line`` and
5169
pending-merge display. (Robert Widhopf-Fenk, Gustavo Niemeyer)
5170
(Malone #3507)
5171
5172
* On Windows, detect terminal width using GetConsoleScreenBufferInfo.
5173
(Alexander Belchenko)
5174
5175
* Speedup improvement for 'date:'-revision search. (Guillaume Pinot).
5176
5177
* Show the correct number of revisions pushed when pushing a new branch.
5178
(Robert Collins).
5179
5180
* 'bzr selftest' now shows a progress bar with the number of tests, and
5181
progress made. 'make check' shows tests in -v mode, to be more useful
5182
for the PQM status window. (Robert Collins).
5183
When using a progress bar, failed tests are printed out, rather than
5184
being overwritten by the progress bar until the suite finishes.
5185
(John Arbash Meinel)
5186
5187
* 'bzr selftest --benchmark' will run a new benchmarking selftest.
5188
'bzr selftest --benchmark --lsprof-timed' will use lsprofile to generate
5189
profile data for the individual profiled calls, allowing for fine
5190
grained analysis of performance.
5191
(Robert Collins, Martin Pool).
5192
5193
* 'bzr commit' shows a progress bar. This is useful for commits over sftp
5194
where commit can take an appreciable time. (Robert Collins)
5195
5196
* 'bzr add' is now less verbose in telling you what ignore globs were
5197
matched by files being ignored. Instead it just tells you how many
5198
were ignored (because you might reasonably be expecting none to be
5199
ignored). 'bzr add -v' is unchanged and will report every ignored
5200
file. (Robert Collins).
5201
5202
* ftp now has a test server if medusa is installed. As part of testing,
5203
ftp support has been improved, including support for supplying a
5204
non-standard port. (John Arbash Meinel).
5205
5206
* 'bzr log --line' shows the revision number, and uses only the
5207
first line of the log message (#5162, Alexander Belchenko;
5208
Matthieu Moy)
5209
5210
* 'bzr status' has had the --all option removed. The 'bzr ls' command
5211
should be used to retrieve all versioned files. (Robert Collins)
5212
5213
* 'bzr bundle OTHER/BRANCH' will create a bundle which can be sent
5214
over email, and applied on the other end, while maintaining ancestry.
5215
This bundle can be applied with either 'bzr merge' or 'bzr pull',
5216
the same way you would apply another branch.
5217
(John Arbash Meinel, Aaron Bentley)
5218
5219
* 'bzr whoami' can now be used to set your identity from the command line,
5220
for a branch or globally. (Robey Pointer)
5221
5222
* 'bzr checkout' now aliased to 'bzr co', and 'bzr annotate' to 'bzr ann'.
5223
(Michael Ellerman)
5224
5225
* 'bzr revert DIRECTORY' now reverts the contents of the directory as well.
5226
(Aaron Bentley)
5227
5228
* 'bzr get sftp://foo' gives a better error when paramiko is not present.
5229
Also updates things like 'http+pycurl://' if pycurl is not present.
5230
(John Arbash Meinel) (Malone #47821, #52204)
5231
5232
* New env variable ``BZR_PROGRESS_BAR``, sets the default progress bar type.
5233
Can be set to 'none' or 'dummy' to disable the progress bar, 'dots' or
5234
'tty' to create the respective type. (John Arbash Meinel, #42197, #51107)
5235
5236
* Improve the help text for 'bzr diff' to explain what various options do.
5237
(John Arbash Meinel, #6391)
5238
5239
* 'bzr uncommit -r 10' now uncommits revisions 11.. rather than uncommitting
5240
revision 10. This makes -r10 more in line with what other commands do.
5241
'bzr uncommit' also now saves the pending merges of the revisions that
5242
were removed. So it is safe to uncommit after a merge, fix something,
5243
and commit again. (John Arbash Meinel, #32526, #31426)
5244
5245
* 'bzr init' now also works on remote locations.
5246
(Wouter van Heyst, #48904)
5247
5248
* HTTP support has been updated. When using pycurl we now support
5249
connection keep-alive, which reduces dns requests and round trips.
5250
And for both urllib and pycurl we support multi-range requests,
5251
which decreases the number of round-trips. Performance results for
5252
``bzr branch http://bazaar-vcs.org/bzr/bzr.dev/`` indicate
5253
http branching is now 2-3x faster, and ``bzr pull`` in an existing
5254
branch is as much as 4x faster.
5255
(Michael Ellerman, Johan Rydberg, John Arbash Meinel, #46768)
5256
5257
* Performance improvements for sftp. Branching and pulling are now up to
5258
2x faster. Utilize paramiko.readv() support for async requests if it
5259
is available (paramiko > 1.6) (John Arbash Meinel)
5260
5261
BUG FIXES:
5262
5263
* Fix shadowed definition of TestLocationConfig that caused some
5264
tests not to run.
5265
(Erik Bågfors, Michael Ellerman, Martin Pool, #32587)
5266
5267
* Fix unnecessary requirement of sign-my-commits that it be run from
5268
a working directory. (Martin Pool, Robert Collins)
5269
5270
* 'bzr push location' will only remember the push location if it succeeds
5271
in connecting to the remote location. (John Arbash Meinel, #49742)
5272
5273
* 'bzr revert' no longer toggles the executable bit on win32
5274
(John Arbash Meinel, #45010)
5275
5276
* Handle broken pipe under win32 correctly. (John Arbash Meinel)
5277
5278
* sftp tests now work correctly on win32 if you have a newer paramiko
5279
(John Arbash Meinel)
5280
5281
* Cleanup win32 test suite, and general cleanup of places where
5282
file handles were being held open. (John Arbash Meinel)
5283
5284
* When specifying filenames for 'diff -r x..y', the name of the file in the
5285
working directory can be used, even if its name is different in both x
5286
and y.
5287
5288
* File-ids containing single- or double-quotes are handled correctly by
5289
push. (Aaron Bentley, #52227)
5290
5291
* Normalize unicode filenames to ensure cross-platform consistency.
5292
(John Arbash Meinel, #43689)
5293
5294
* The argument parser can now handle '-' as an argument. Currently
5295
no code interprets it specially (it is mostly handled as a file named
5296
'-'). But plugins, and future operations can use it.
5297
(John Arbash meinel, #50984)
5298
5299
* Bundles can properly read binary files with a plain '\r' in them.
5300
(John Arbash Meinel, #51927)
5301
5302
* Tuning ``iter_entries()`` to be more efficient (John Arbash Meinel, #5444)
5303
5304
* Lots of win32 fixes (the test suite passes again).
5305
(John Arbash Meinel, #50155)
5306
5307
* Handle openbsd returning None for sys.getfilesystemencoding() (#41183)
5308
5309
* Support ftp APPE (append) to allow Knits to be used over ftp (#42592)
5310
5311
* Removals are only committed if they match the filespec (or if there is
5312
no filespec). (#46635, Aaron Bentley)
5313
5314
* smart-add recurses through all supplied directories
5315
(John Arbash Meinel, #52578)
5316
5317
* Make the bundle reader extra lines before and after the bundle text.
5318
This allows you to parse an email with the bundle inline.
5319
(John Arbash Meinel, #49182)
5320
5321
* Change the file id generator to squash a little bit more. Helps when
5322
working with long filenames on windows. (Also helps for unicode filenames
5323
not generating hidden files). (John Arbash Meinel, #43801)
5324
5325
* Restore terminal mode on C-c while reading sftp password. (#48923,
5326
Nicholas Allen, Martin Pool)
5327
5328
* Timestamps are rounded to 1ms, and revision entries can be recreated
5329
exactly. (John Arbash Meinel, Jamie Wilkinson, #40693)
5330
5331
* Branch.base has changed to a URL, but ~/.bazaar/locations.conf should
5332
use local paths, since it is user visible (John Arbash Meinel, #53653)
5333
5334
* ``bzr status foo`` when foo was unversioned used to cause a full delta
5335
to be generated (John Arbash Meinel, #53638)
5336
5337
* When reading revision properties, an empty value should be considered
5338
the empty string, not None (John Arbash Meinel, #47782)
5339
5340
* ``bzr diff --diff-options`` can now handle binary files being changed.
5341
Also, the output is consistent when --diff-options is not supplied.
5342
(John Arbash Meinel, #54651, #52930)
5343
5344
* Use the right suffixes for loading plugins (John Arbash Meinel, #51810)
5345
5346
* Fix ``Branch.get_parent()`` to handle the case when the parent is not
5347
accessible (John Arbash Meinel, #52976)
5348
5349
INTERNALS:
5350
5351
* Combine the ignore rules into a single regex rather than looping over
5352
them to reduce the threshold where N^2 behaviour occurs in operations
5353
like status. (Jan Hudec, Robert Collins).
5354
5355
* Appending to ``bzrlib.DEFAULT_IGNORE`` is now deprecated. Instead, use
5356
one of the add functions in bzrlib.ignores. (John Arbash Meinel)
5357
5358
* 'bzr push' should only push the ancestry of the current revision, not
5359
all of the history in the repository. This is especially important for
5360
shared repositories. (John Arbash Meinel)
5361
5362
* ``bzrlib.delta.compare_trees`` now iterates in alphabetically sorted order,
5363
rather than randomly walking the inventories. (John Arbash Meinel)
5364
5365
* Doctests are now run in temporary directories which are cleaned up when
5366
they finish, rather than using special ScratchDir/ScratchBranch objects.
5367
(Martin Pool)
5368
5369
* Split ``check`` into separate methods on the branch and on the repository,
5370
so that it can be specialized in ways that are useful or efficient for
5371
different formats. (Martin Pool, Robert Collins)
5372
5373
* Deprecate ``Repository.all_revision_ids``; most methods don't really need
5374
the global revision graph but only that part leading up to a particular
5375
revision. (Martin Pool, Robert Collins)
5376
5377
* Add a BzrDirFormat ``control_formats`` list which allows for control formats
5378
that do not use '.bzr' to store their data - i.e. '.svn', '.hg' etc.
5379
(Robert Collins, Jelmer Vernooij).
5380
5381
* ``bzrlib.diff.external_diff`` can be redirected to any file-like object.
5382
Uses subprocess instead of spawnvp.
5383
(James Henstridge, John Arbash Meinel, #4047, #48914)
5384
5385
* New command line option '--profile-imports', which will install a custom
5386
importer to log time to import modules and regex compilation time to
5387
sys.stderr (John Arbash Meinel)
5388
5389
* 'EmptyTree' is now deprecated, please use ``repository.revision_tree(None)``
5390
instead. (Robert Collins)
5391
5392
* "RevisionTree" is now in bzrlib/revisiontree.py. (Robert Collins)

5406
* Fix failure to commit a merge in a checkout. (Martin Pool,
5407
Robert Collins, Erik Bågfors, #43959)
5408
5409
* Nicer messages from 'commit' in the case of renames, and correct
5410
messages when a merge has occured. (Robert Collins, Martin Pool)
5411
5412
* Separate functionality from assert statements as they are skipped in
5413
optimized mode of python. Add the same check to pending merges.
5414
(Olaf Conradi, #44443)

5416
CHANGES:
5417
5418
* Do not show the None revision in output of bzr ancestry. (Olaf Conradi)

* Add info on standalone branches without a working tree.
5421
(Olaf Conradi, #44155)
5422
5423
* Fix bug in knits when raising InvalidRevisionId. (Olaf Conradi, #44284)
5424
5425
CHANGES:
5426
5427
* Make editor invocation comply with Debian Policy. First check
5428
environment variables VISUAL and EDITOR, then try editor from
5429
alternatives system. If that all fails, fall back to the pre-defined
5430
list of editors. (Olaf Conradi, #42904)
5431
5432
NEW FEATURES:
5433
5434
* New 'register-branch' command registers a public branch into
5435
Launchpad.net, where it can be associated with bugs, etc.
5436
(Martin Pool, Bjorn Tillenius, Robert Collins)
5437
5438
INTERNALS:
5439
5440
* New public api in InventoryEntry - ``describe_change(old, new)`` which
5441
provides a human description of the changes between two old and
5442
new. (Robert Collins, Martin Pool)
5443
5444
TESTING:
5445
5446
* Fix test case for bzr info in upgrading a standalone branch to metadir,
5447
uses bzrlib api now. (Olaf Conradi)
5448
5449
bzr 0.8 2006-05-08
5450
-------------------
5451
5452
NOTES WHEN UPGRADING:
5453
5454
Release 0.8 of bzr introduces a new format for history storage, called
5455
'knit', as an evolution of to the 'weave' format used in 0.7. Local
5456
and remote operations are faster using knits than weaves. Several
5457
operations including 'init', 'init-repo', and 'upgrade' take a
5458
--format option that controls this. Branching from an existing branch
5459
will keep the same format.
5460
5461
It is possible to merge, pull and push between branches of different
5462
formats but this is slower than moving data between homogenous
5463
branches. It is therefore recommended (but not required) that you
5464
upgrade all branches for a project at the same time. Information on
5465
formats is shown by 'bzr info'.
5466
5467
bzr 0.8 now allows creation of 'repositories', which hold the history
5468
of files and revisions for several branches. Previously bzr kept all
5469
the history for a branch within the .bzr directory at the root of the
5470
branch, and this is still the default. To create a repository, use
5471
the new 'bzr init-repo' command. Branches exist as directories under
5472
the repository and contain just a small amount of information
5473
indicating the current revision of the branch.
5474
5475
bzr 0.8 also supports 'checkouts', which are similar to in cvs and
5476
subversion. Checkouts are associated with a branch (optionally in a
5477
repository), which contains all the historical information. The
5478
result is that a checkout can be deleted without losing any
5479
already-committed revisions. A new 'update' command is also available.
5480
5481
Repositories and checkouts are not supported with the 0.7 storage
5482
format. To use them you must upgrad to either knits, or to the
5483
'metaweave' format, which uses weaves but changes the .bzr directory
5484
arrangement.
5485
5486
5487
IMPROVEMENTS:
5488
5489
* Sftp paths can now be relative, or local, according to the lftp
5490
convention. Paths now take the form::
5491
5492
sftp://user:pass@host:port/~/relative/path
5493
or
5494
sftp://user:pass@host:port/absolute/path
5495
5496
* The FTP transport now tries to reconnect after a temporary
5497
failure. ftp put is made atomic. (Matthieu Moy)
5498
5499
* The FTP transport now maintains a pool of connections, and
5500
reuses them to avoid multiple connections to the same host (like
5501
sftp did). (Daniel Silverstone)
5502
5503
* The ``bzr_man.py`` file has been removed. To create the man page now,
5504
use ``./generate_docs.py man``. The new program can also create other files.
5505
Run ``python generate_docs.py --help`` for usage information.
5506
(Hans Ulrich Niedermann & James Blackwell).
5507
5508
* Man Page now gives full help (James Blackwell).
5509
Help also updated to reflect user config now being stored in .bazaar
5510
(Hans Ulrich Niedermann)
5511
5512
* It's now possible to set aliases in bazaar.conf (Erik Bågfors)
5513
5514
* Pull now accepts a --revision argument (Erik Bågfors)
5515
5516
* ``bzr re-sign`` now allows multiple revisions to be supplied on the command
5517
line. You can now use the following command to sign all of your old
5518
commits::
5519
5520
find .bzr/revision-store// -name my@email-* \
5521
| sed 's/.*\/\/..\///' \
5522
| xargs bzr re-sign
5523
5524
* Upgrade can now upgrade over the network. (Robert Collins)
5525
5526
* Two new commands 'bzr checkout' and 'bzr update' allow for CVS/SVN-alike
5527
behaviour. By default they will cache history in the checkout, but
5528
with --lightweight almost all data is kept in the master branch.
5529
(Robert Collins)
5530
5531
* 'revert' unversions newly-versioned files, instead of deleting them.
5532
5533
* 'merge' is more robust. Conflict messages have changed.
5534
5535
* 'merge' and 'revert' no longer clobber existing files that end in '~' or
5536
'.moved'.
5537
5538
* Default log format can be set in configuration and plugins can register
5539
their own formatters. (Erik Bågfors)
5540
5541
* New 'reconcile' command will check branch consistency and repair indexes
5542
that can become out of sync in pre 0.8 formats. (Robert Collins,
5543
Daniel Silverstone)
5544
5545
* New 'bzr init --format' and 'bzr upgrade --format' option to control
5546
what storage format is created or produced. (Robert Collins,
5547
Martin Pool)
5548
5549
* Add parent location to 'bzr info', if there is one. (Olaf Conradi)
5550
5551
* New developer commands 'weave-list' and 'weave-join'. (Martin Pool)
5552
5553
* New 'init-repository' command, plus support for repositories in 'init'
5554
and 'branch' (Aaron Bentley, Erik Bågfors, Robert Collins)
5555
5556
* Improve output of 'info' command. Show all relevant locations related to
5557
working tree, branch and repository. Use kibibytes for binary quantities.
5558
Fix off-by-one error in missing revisions of working tree. Make 'info'
5559
work on branches, repositories and remote locations. Show locations
5560
relative to the shared repository, if applicable. Show locking status
5561
of locations. (Olaf Conradi)
5562
5563
* Diff and merge now safely handle binary files. (Aaron Bentley)
5564
5565
* 'pull' and 'push' now normalise the revision history, so that any two
5566
branches with the same tip revision will have the same output from 'log'.
5567
(Robert Collins)
5568
5569
* 'merge' accepts --remember option to store parent location, like 'push'
5570
and 'pull'. (Olaf Conradi)
5571
5572
* bzr status and diff when files given as arguments do not exist
5573
in the relevant trees. (Martin Pool, #3619)
5574
5575
* Add '.hg' to the default ignore list. (Martin Pool)
5576
5577
* 'knit' is now the default disk format. This improves disk performance and
5578
utilization, increases incremental pull performance, robustness with SFTP
5579
and allows checkouts over SFTP to perform acceptably.
5580
The initial Knit code was contributed by Johan Rydberg based on a
5581
specification by Martin Pool.
5582
(Robert Collins, Aaron Bentley, Johan Rydberg, Martin Pool).
5583
5584
* New tool to generate all-in-one html version of the manual. (Alexander
5585
Belchenko)
5586
5587
* Hitting CTRL-C while doing an SFTP push will no longer cause stale locks
5588
to be left in the SFTP repository. (Robert Collins, Martin Pool).
5589
5590
* New option 'diff --prefix' to control how files are named in diff
5591
output, with shortcuts '-p0' and '-p1' corresponding to the options for
5592
GNU patch. (Alexander Belchenko, Goffredo Baroncelli, Martin Pool)
5593
5594
* Add --revision option to 'annotate' command. (Olaf Conradi)
5595
5596
* If bzr shows an unexpected revision-history after pulling (perhaps due
5597
to a reweave) it can now be corrected by 'bzr reconcile'.
5598
(Robert Collins)
5599
5600
CHANGES:
5601
5602
* Commit is now verbose by default, and shows changed filenames and the
5603
new revision number. (Robert Collins, Martin Pool)
5604
5605
* Unify 'mv', 'move', 'rename'. (Matthew Fuller, #5379)
5606
5607
* 'bzr -h' shows help. (Martin Pool, Ian Bicking, #35940)
5608
5609
* Make 'pull' and 'push' remember location on failure using --remember.
5610
(Olaf Conradi)
5611
5612
* For compatibility, make old format for using weaves inside metadir
5613
available as 'metaweave' format. Rename format 'metadir' to 'default'.
5614
Clean up help for option --format in commands 'init', 'init-repo' and
5615
'upgrade'. (Olaf Conradi)
5616
5617
INTERNALS:
5618
5619
* The internal storage of history, and logical branch identity have now
5620
been split into Branch, and Repository. The common locking and file
5621
management routines are now in bzrlib.lockablefiles.
5622
(Aaron Bentley, Robert Collins, Martin Pool)
5623
5624
* Transports can now raise DependencyNotPresent if they need a library
5625
which is not installed, and then another implementation will be
5626
tried. (Martin Pool)
5627
5628
* Remove obsolete (and no-op) `decode` parameter to `Transport.get`.
5629
(Martin Pool)
5630
5631
* Using Tree Transform for merge, revert, tree-building
5632
5633
* WorkingTree.create, Branch.create, ``WorkingTree.create_standalone``,
5634
Branch.initialize are now deprecated. Please see ``BzrDir.create_*`` for
5635
replacement API's. (Robert Collins)
5636
5637
* New BzrDir class represents the .bzr control directory and manages
5638
formatting issues. (Robert Collins)
5639
5640
* New repository.InterRepository class encapsulates Repository to
5641
Repository actions and allows for clean selection of optimised code
5642
paths. (Robert Collins)
5643
5644
* ``bzrlib.fetch.fetch`` and ``bzrlib.fetch.greedy_fetch`` are now
5645
deprecated, please use ``branch.fetch`` or ``repository.fetch``
5646
depending on your needs. (Robert Collins)
5647
5648
* deprecated methods now have a ``is_deprecated`` flag on them that can
5649
be checked, if you need to determine whether a given callable is
5650
deprecated at runtime. (Robert Collins)
5651
5652
* Progress bars are now nested - see
5653
``bzrlib.ui.ui_factory.nested_progress_bar``.
5654
(Robert Collins, Robey Pointer)
5655
5656
* New API call ``get_format_description()`` for each type of format.
5657
(Olaf Conradi)
5658
5659
* Changed ``branch.set_parent()`` to accept None to remove parent.
5660
(Olaf Conradi)
5661
5662
* Deprecated BzrError AmbiguousBase. (Olaf Conradi)
5663
5664
* WorkingTree.branch is now a read only property. (Robert Collins)
5665
5666
* bzrlib.ui.text.TextUIFactory now accepts a ``bar_type`` parameter which
5667
can be None or a factory that will create a progress bar. This is
5668
useful for testing or for overriding the bzrlib.progress heuristic.
5669
(Robert Collins)
5670
5671
* New API method ``get_physical_lock_status()`` to query locks present on a
5672
transport. (Olaf Conradi)
5673
5674
* Repository.reconcile now takes a thorough keyword parameter to allow
5675
requesting an indepth reconciliation, rather than just a data-loss
5676
check. (Robert Collins)
5677
5678
* ``bzrlib.ui.ui_factory protocol`` now supports ``get_boolean`` to prompt
5679
the user for yes/no style input. (Robert Collins)
5680
5681
TESTING:
5682
5683
* SFTP tests now shortcut the SSH negotiation, reducing test overhead
5684
for testing SFTP protocol support. (Robey Pointer)
5685
5686
* Branch formats are now tested once per implementation (see ``bzrlib.
5687
tests.branch_implementations``. This is analagous to the transport
5688
interface tests, and has been followed up with working tree,
5689
repository and BzrDir tests. (Robert Collins)
5690
5691
* New test base class TestCaseWithTransport provides a transport aware
5692
test environment, useful for testing any transport-interface using
5693
code. The test suite option --transport controls the transport used
5694
by this class (when its not being used as part of implementation
5695
contract testing). (Robert Collins)
5696
5697
* Close logging handler on disabling the test log. This will remove the
5698
handler from the internal list inside python's logging module,
5699
preventing shutdown from closing it twice. (Olaf Conradi)
5700
5701
* Move test case for uncommit to blackbox tests. (Olaf Conradi)
5702
5703
* ``run_bzr`` and ``run_bzr_captured`` now accept a 'stdin="foo"'
5704
parameter which will provide String("foo") to the command as its stdin.
5705
5706
bzr 0.7 2006-01-09
5707
------------------
5708
5709
CHANGES:
5710
5711
* .bzrignore is excluded from exports, on the grounds that it's a bzr
5712
internal-use file and may not be wanted. (Jamie Wilkinson)
5713
5714
* The "bzr directories" command were removed in favor of the new
5715
--kind option to the "bzr inventory" command. To list all
5716
versioned directories, now use "bzr inventory --kind directory".
5717
(Johan Rydberg)
5718
5719
* Under Windows configuration directory is now ``%APPDATA%\bazaar\2.0``
5720
by default. (John Arbash Meinel)
5721
5722
* The parent of Bzr configuration directory can be set by ``BZR_HOME``
5723
environment variable. Now the path for it is searched in ``BZR_HOME``,
5724
then in HOME. Under Windows the order is: ``BZR_HOME``, ``APPDATA``
5725
(usually points to ``C:\Documents and Settings\User Name\Application Data``),
5726
``HOME``. (John Arbash Meinel)
5727
5728
* Plugins with the same name in different directories in the bzr plugin
5729
path are no longer loaded: only the first successfully loaded one is
5730
used. (Robert Collins)
5731
5732
* Use systems' external ssh command to open connections if possible.
5733
This gives better integration with user settings such as ProxyCommand.
5734
(James Henstridge)
5735
5736
* Permissions on files underneath .bzr/ are inherited from the .bzr
5737
directory. So for a shared repository, simply doing 'chmod -R g+w .bzr/'
5738
will mean that future file will be created with group write permissions.
5739
5740
* configure.in and config.guess are no longer in the builtin default
5741
ignore list.
5742
5743
* '.sw[nop]' pattern ignored, to ignore vim swap files for nameless
5744
files. (John Arbash Meinel, Martin Pool)
5745
5746
IMPROVEMENTS:
5747
5748
* "bzr INIT dir" now initializes the specified directory, and creates
5749
it if it does not exist. (John Arbash Meinel)
5750
5751
* New remerge command (Aaron Bentley)
5752
5753
* Better zsh completion script. (Steve Borho)
5754
5755
* 'bzr diff' now returns 1 when there are changes in the working
5756
tree. (Robert Collins)
5757
5758
* 'bzr push' now exists and can push changes to a remote location.
5759
This uses the transport infrastructure, and can store the remote
5760
location in the ~/.bazaar/branches.conf configuration file.
5761
(Robert Collins)
5762
5763
* Test directories are only kept if the test fails and the user requests
5764
that they be kept.
5765
5766
* Tweaks to short log printing
5767
5768
* Added branch nicks, new nick command, printing them in log output.
5769
(Aaron Bentley)
5770
5771
* If ``$BZR_PDB`` is set, pop into the debugger when an uncaught exception
5772
occurs. (Martin Pool)
5773
5774
* Accept 'bzr resolved' (an alias for 'bzr resolve'), as this is
5775
the same as Subversion. (Martin Pool)
5776
5777
* New ftp transport support (on ftplib), for ftp:// and aftp://
5778
URLs. (Daniel Silverstone)
5779
5780
* Commit editor temporary files now start with ``bzr_log.``, to allow
5781
text editors to match the file name and set up appropriate modes or
5782
settings. (Magnus Therning)
5783
5784
* Improved performance when integrating changes from a remote weave.
5785
(Goffredo Baroncelli)
5786
5787
* Sftp will attempt to cache the connection, so it is more likely that
5788
a connection will be reused, rather than requiring multiple password
5789
requests.
5790
5791
* bzr revno now takes an optional argument indicating the branch whose
5792
revno should be printed. (Michael Ellerman)
5793
5794
* bzr cat defaults to printing the last version of the file.
5795
(Matthieu Moy, #3632)
5796
5797
* New global option 'bzr --lsprof COMMAND' runs bzr under the lsprof
5798
profiler. (Denys Duchier)
5799
5800
* Faster commits by reading only the headers of affected weave files.
5801
(Denys Duchier)
5802
5803
* 'bzr add' now takes a --dry-run parameter which shows you what would be
5804
added, but doesn't actually add anything. (Michael Ellerman)
5805
5806
* 'bzr add' now lists how many files were ignored per glob. add --verbose
5807
lists the specific files. (Aaron Bentley)
5808
5809
* 'bzr missing' now supports displaying changes in diverged trees and can
5810
be limited to show what either end of the comparison is missing.
5811
(Aaron Bently, with a little prompting from Daniel Silverstone)
5812
5813
BUG FIXES:
5814
5815
* SFTP can walk up to the root path without index errors. (Robert Collins)
5816
5817
* Fix bugs in running bzr with 'python -O'. (Martin Pool)
5818
5819
* Error when run with -OO
5820
5821
* Fix bug in reporting http errors that don't have an http error code.
5822
(Martin Pool)
5823
5824
* Handle more cases of pipe errors in display commands
5825
5826
* Change status to 3 for all errors
5827
5828
* Files that are added and unlinked before committing are completely
5829
ignored by diff and status
5830
5831
* Stores with some compressed texts and some uncompressed texts are now
5832
able to be used. (John A Meinel)
5833
5834
* Fix for bzr pull failing sometimes under windows
5835
5836
* Fix for sftp transport under windows when using interactive auth
5837
5838
* Show files which are both renamed and modified as such in 'bzr
5839
status' output. (Daniel Silverstone, #4503)
5840
5841
* Make annotate cope better with revisions committed without a valid
5842
email address. (Marien Zwart)
5843
5844
* Fix representation of tab characters in commit messages.
5845
(Harald Meland)
5846
5847
* List of plugin directories in ``BZR_PLUGIN_PATH`` environment variable is
5848
now parsed properly under Windows. (Alexander Belchenko)
5849
5850
* Show number of revisions pushed/pulled/merged. (Robey Pointer)
5851
5852
* Keep a cached copy of the basis inventory to speed up operations
5853
that need to refer to it. (Johan Rydberg, Martin Pool)
5854
5855
* Fix bugs in bzr status display of non-ascii characters.
5856
(Martin Pool)
5857
5858
* Remove Makefile.in from default ignore list.
5859
(Tollef Fog Heen, Martin Pool, #6413)
5860
5861
* Fix failure in 'bzr added'. (Nathan McCallum, Martin Pool)
5862
5863
TESTING:
5864
5865
* Fix selftest asking for passwords when there are no SFTP keys.
5866
(Robey Pointer, Jelmer Vernooij)
5867
5868
* Fix selftest run with 'python -O'. (Martin Pool)
5869
5870
* Fix HTTP tests under Windows. (John Arbash Meinel)
5871
5872
* Make tests work even if HOME is not set (Aaron Bentley)
5873
5874
* Updated ``build_tree`` to use fixed line-endings for tests which read
5875
the file cotents and compare. Make some tests use this to pass under
5876
Windows. (John Arbash Meinel)
5877
5878
* Skip stat and symlink tests under Windows. (Alexander Belchenko)
5879
5880
* Delay in selftest/testhashcash is now issued under win32 and Cygwin.
5881
(John Arbash Meinel)
5882
5883
* Use terminal width to align verbose test output. (Martin Pool)
5884
5885
* Blackbox tests are maintained within the bzrlib.tests.blackbox directory.
5886
If adding a new test script please add that to
5887
``bzrlib.tests.blackbox.__init__``. (Robert Collins)
5888
5889
* Much better error message if one of the test suites can't be
5890
imported. (Martin Pool)
5891
5892
* Make check now runs the test suite twice - once with the default locale,
5893
and once with all locales forced to C, to expose bugs. This is not
5894
trivially done within python, so for now its only triggered by running
5895
Make check. Integrators and packagers who wish to check for full
5896
platform support should run 'make check' to test the source.
5897
(Robert Collins)
5898
5899
* Tests can now run TestSkipped if they can't execute for any reason.
5900
(Martin Pool) (NB: TestSkipped should only be raised for correctable
5901
reasons - see the wiki spec ImprovingBzrTestSuite).
5902
5903
* Test sftp with relative, absolute-in-homedir and absolute-not-in-homedir
5904
paths for the transport tests. Introduce blackbox remote sftp tests that
5905
test the same permutations. (Robert Collins, Robey Pointer)
5906
5907
* Transport implementation tests are now independent of the local file
5908
system, which allows tests for esoteric transports, and for features
5909
not available in the local file system. They also repeat for variations
5910
on the URL scheme that can introduce issues in the transport code,
5911
see bzrlib.transport.TransportTestProviderAdapter() for this.
5912
(Robert Collins).
5913
5914
* ``TestCase.build_tree`` uses the transport interface to build trees,
5915
pass in a transport parameter to give it an existing connection.
5916
(Robert Collins).
5917
5918
INTERNALS:
5919
5920
* WorkingTree.pull has been split across Branch and WorkingTree,
5921
to allow Branch only pulls. (Robert Collins)
5922
5923
* ``commands.display_command`` now returns the result of the decorated
5924
function. (Robert Collins)
5925
5926
* LocationConfig now has a ``set_user_option(key, value)`` call to save
5927
a setting in its matching location section (a new one is created
5928
if needed). (Robert Collins)
5929
5930
* Branch has two new methods, ``get_push_location`` and
5931
``set_push_location`` to respectively, get and set the push location.
5932
(Robert Collins)
5933
5934
* ``commands.register_command`` now takes an optional flag to signal that
5935
the registrant is planning to decorate an existing command. When
5936
given multiple plugins registering a command is not an error, and
5937
the original command class (whether built in or a plugin based one) is
5938
returned to the caller. There is a new error 'MustUseDecorated' for
5939
signalling when a wrapping command should switch to the original
5940
version. (Robert Collins)
5941
5942
* Some option parsing errors will raise 'BzrOptionError', allowing
5943
granular detection for decorating commands. (Robert Collins).
5944
5945
* ``Branch.read_working_inventory`` has moved to
5946
``WorkingTree.read_working_inventory``. This necessitated changes to
5947
``Branch.get_root_id``, and a move of ``Branch.set_inventory`` to
5948
WorkingTree as well. To make it clear that a WorkingTree cannot always
5949
be obtained ``Branch.working_tree()`` will raise
5950
``errors.NoWorkingTree`` if one cannot be obtained. (Robert Collins)
5951
5952
* All pending merges operations from Branch are now on WorkingTree.
5953
(Robert Collins)
5954
5955
* The follow operations from Branch have moved to WorkingTree::
5956
5957
add()
5958
commit()
5959
move()
5960
rename_one()
5961
unknowns()
5962
5963
(Robert Collins)
5964
5965
* ``bzrlib.add.smart_add_branch`` is now ``smart_add_tree``. (Robert Collins)
5966
5967
* New "rio" serialization format, similar to rfc-822. (Martin Pool)
5968
5969
* Rename selftests to ``bzrlib.tests.test_foo``. (John A Meinel, Martin
5970
Pool)
5971
5972
* ``bzrlib.plugin.all_plugins`` has been changed from an attribute to a
5973
query method. (Robert Collins)
5974
5975
* New options to read only the table-of-contents of a weave.
5976
(Denys Duchier)
5977
5978
* Raise NoSuchFile when someone tries to add a non-existant file.
5979
(Michael Ellerman)
5980
5981
* Simplify handling of DivergedBranches in ``cmd_pull()``.
5982
(Michael Ellerman)
5983
5984
* Branch.controlfile* logic has moved to lockablefiles.LockableFiles, which
5985
is exposed as ``Branch().control_files``. Also this has been altered with the
5986
controlfile pre/suffix replaced by simple method names like 'get' and
5987
'put'. (Aaron Bentley, Robert Collins).
5988
5989
* Deprecated functions and methods can now be marked as such using the
5990
``bzrlib.symbol_versioning`` module. Marked method have their docstring
5991
updated and will issue a DeprecationWarning using the warnings module
5992
when they are used. (Robert Collins)
5993
5994
* ``bzrlib.osutils.safe_unicode`` now exists to provide parameter coercion
5995
for functions that need unicode strings. (Robert Collins)

6000
IMPROVEMENTS:
6001
6002
* pull now takes --verbose to show you what revisions are added or removed
6003
(John A Meinel)
6004
6005
* merge now takes a --show-base option to include the base text in
6006
conflicts.
6007
(Aaron Bentley)
6008
6009
* The config files are now read using ConfigObj, so '=' should be used as
6010
a separator, not ':'.
6011
(Aaron Bentley)
6012
6013
* New 'bzr commit --strict' option refuses to commit if there are
6014
any unknown files in the tree. To commit, make sure all files are
6015
either ignored, added, or deleted. (Michael Ellerman)
6016
6017
* The config directory is now ~/.bazaar, and there is a single file
6018
~/.bazaar/bazaar.conf storing email, editor and other preferences.
6019
(Robert Collins)
6020
6021
* 'bzr add' no longer takes a --verbose option, and a --quiet option
6022
has been added that suppresses all output.
6023
6024
* Improved zsh completion support in contrib/zsh, from Clint
6025
Adams.
6026
6027
* Builtin 'bzr annotate' command, by Martin Pool with improvements from
6028
Goffredo Baroncelli.
6029
6030
* 'bzr check' now accepts -v for verbose reporting, and checks for
6031
ghosts in the branch. (Robert Collins)
6032
6033
* New command 're-sign' which will regenerate the gpg signature for
6034
a revision. (Robert Collins)
6035
6036
* If you set ``check_signatures=require`` for a path in
6037
``~/.bazaar/branches.conf`` then bzr will invoke your
6038
``gpg_signing_command`` (defaults to gpg) and record a digital signature
6039
of your commit. (Robert Collins)
6040
6041
* New sftp transport, based on Paramiko. (Robey Pointer)
6042
6043
* 'bzr pull' now accepts '--clobber' which will discard local changes
6044
and make this branch identical to the source branch. (Robert Collins)
6045
6046
* Just give a quieter warning if a plugin can't be loaded, and
6047
put the details in .bzr.log. (Martin Pool)
6048
6049
* 'bzr branch' will now set the branch-name to the last component of the
6050
output directory, if one was supplied.
6051
6052
* If the option ``post_commit`` is set to one (or more) python function
6053
names (must be in the bzrlib namespace), then they will be invoked
6054
after the commit has completed, with the branch and ``revision_id`` as
6055
parameters. (Robert Collins)
6056
6057
* Merge now has a retcode of 1 when conflicts occur. (Robert Collins)
6058
6059
* --merge-type weave is now supported for file contents. Tree-shape
6060
changes are still three-way based. (Martin Pool, Aaron Bentley)
6061
6062
* 'bzr check' allows the first revision on revision-history to have
6063
parents - something that is expected for cheap checkouts, and occurs
6064
when conversions from baz do not have all history. (Robert Collins).
6065
6066
* 'bzr merge' can now graft unrelated trees together, if your specify
6067
0 as a base. (Aaron Bentley)
6068
6069
* 'bzr commit branch' and 'bzr commit branch/file1 branch/file2' now work
6070
(Aaron Bentley)
6071
6072
* Add '.sconsign*' to default ignore list. (Alexander Belchenko)
6073
6074
* 'bzr merge --reprocess' minimizes conflicts
6075
6076
TESTING:
6077
6078
* The 'bzr selftest --pattern' option for has been removed, now
6079
test specifiers on the command line can be simple strings, or
6080
regexps, or both. (Robert Collins)
6081
6082
* Passing -v to selftest will now show the time each test took to
6083
complete, which will aid in analysing performance regressions and
6084
related questions. (Robert Collins)
6085
6086
* 'bzr selftest' runs all tests, even if one fails, unless '--one'
6087
is given. (Martin Pool)
6088
6089
* There is a new method for TestCaseInTempDir, assertFileEqual, which
6090
will check that a given content is equal to the content of the named
6091
file. (Robert Collins)
6092
6093
* Fix test suite's habit of leaving many temporary log files in $TMPDIR.
6094
(Martin Pool)
6095
6096
INTERNALS:
6097
6098
* New 'testament' command and concept for making gpg-signatures
6099
of revisions that are not tied to a particular internal
6100
representation. (Martin Pool).
6101
6102
* Per-revision properties ('revprops') as key-value associated
6103
strings on each revision created when the revision is committed.
6104
Intended mainly for the use of external tools. (Martin Pool).
6105
6106
* Config options have moved from bzrlib.osutils to bzrlib.config.
6107
(Robert Collins)
6108
6109
* Improved command line option definitions allowing explanations
6110
for individual options, among other things. Contributed by
6111
Magnus Therning.
6112
6113
* Config options have moved from bzrlib.osutils to bzrlib.config.
6114
Configuration is now done via the config.Config interface:
6115
Depending on whether you have a Branch, a Location or no information
6116
available, construct a ``*Config``, and use its ``signature_checking``,
6117
``username`` and ``user_email`` methods. (Robert Collins)
6118
6119
* Plugins are now loaded under bzrlib.plugins, not bzrlib.plugin, and
6120
they are made available for other plugins to use. You should not
6121
import other plugins during the ``__init__`` of your plugin though, as
6122
no ordering is guaranteed, and the plugins directory is not on the
6123
python path. (Robert Collins)
6124
6125
* Branch.relpath has been moved to WorkingTree.relpath. WorkingTree no
6126
no longer takes an inventory, rather it takes an option branch
6127
parameter, and if None is given will open the branch at basedir
6128
implicitly. (Robert Collins)
6129
6130
* Cleaner exception structure and error reporting. Suggested by
6131
Scott James Remnant. (Martin Pool)
6132
6133
* Branch.remove has been moved to WorkingTree, which has also gained
6134
``lock_read``, ``lock_write`` and ``unlock`` methods for convenience.
6135
(Robert Collins)
6136
6137
* Two decorators, ``needs_read_lock`` and ``needs_write_lock`` have been
6138
added to the branch module. Use these to cause a function to run in a
6139
read or write lock respectively. (Robert Collins)
6140
6141
* ``Branch.open_containing`` now returns a tuple (Branch, relative-path),
6142
which allows direct access to the common case of 'get me this file
6143
from its branch'. (Robert Collins)
6144
6145
* Transports can register using ``register_lazy_transport``, and they
6146
will be loaded when first used. (Martin Pool)
6147
6148
* 'pull' has been factored out of the command as ``WorkingTree.pull()``.
6149
A new option to WorkingTree.pull has been added, clobber, which will
6150
ignore diverged history and pull anyway.
6151
(Robert Collins)
6152
6153
* config.Config has a ``get_user_option`` call that accepts an option name.
6154
This will be looked up in branches.conf and bazaar.conf as normal.
6155
It is intended that this be used by plugins to support options -
6156
options of built in programs should have specific methods on the config.
6157
(Robert Collins)
6158
6159
* ``merge.merge_inner`` now has tempdir as an optional parameter.
6160
(Robert Collins)
6161
6162
* Tree.kind is not recorded at the top level of the hierarchy, as it was
6163
missing on EmptyTree, leading to a bug with merge on EmptyTrees.
6164
(Robert Collins)
6165
6166
* ``WorkingTree.__del__`` has been removed, it was non deterministic and not
6167
doing what it was intended to. See ``WorkingTree.__init__`` for a comment
6168
about future directions. (Robert Collins/Martin Pool)
6169
6170
* bzrlib.transport.http has been modified so that only 404 urllib errors
6171
are returned as NoSuchFile. Other exceptions will propogate as normal.
6172
This allows debuging of actual errors. (Robert Collins)
6173
6174
* bzrlib.transport.Transport now accepts *ONLY* url escaped relative paths
6175
to apis like 'put', 'get' and 'has'. This is to provide consistent
6176
behaviour - it operates on url's only. (Robert Collins)
6177
6178
* Transports can register using ``register_lazy_transport``, and they
6179
will be loaded when first used. (Martin Pool)
6180
6181
* ``merge_flex`` no longer calls ``conflict_handler.finalize()``, instead that
6182
is called by ``merge_inner``. This is so that the conflict count can be
6183
retrieved (and potentially manipulated) before returning to the caller
6184
of ``merge_inner``. Likewise 'merge' now returns the conflict count to the
6185
caller. (Robert Collins)
6186
6187
* ``revision.revision_graph`` can handle having only partial history for
6188
a revision - that is no revisions in the graph with no parents.
6189
(Robert Collins).
6190
6191
* New ``builtins.branch_files`` uses the standard ``file_list`` rules to
6192
produce a branch and a list of paths, relative to that branch
6193
(Aaron Bentley)
6194
6195
* New TestCase.addCleanup facility.
6196
6197
* New ``bzrlib.version_info`` tuple (similar to ``sys.version_info``),
6198
which can be used by programs importing bzrlib.
6199
6200
BUG FIXES:
6201
6202
* Better handling of branches in directories with non-ascii names.
6203
(Joel Rosdahl, Panagiotis Papadakos)
6204
6205
* Upgrades of trees with no commits will not fail due to accessing
6206
[-1] in the revision-history. (Andres Salomon)
6207
6208
6209
bzr 0.1.1 2005-10-12
6210
--------------------
6211
6212
BUG FIXES:
6213
6214
* Fix problem in pulling over http from machines that do not
6215
allow directories to be listed.
6216
6217
* Avoid harmless warning about invalid hash cache after
6218
upgrading branch format.
6219
6220
PERFORMANCE:
6221
6222
* Avoid some unnecessary http operations in branch and pull.
6223
6224
6225
bzr 0.1 2005-10-11
6226
------------------
6227
6228
NOTES:
6229
6230
* 'bzr branch' over http initially gives a very high estimate
6231
of completion time but it should fall as the first few
6232
revisions are pulled in. branch is still slow on
6233
high-latency connections.
6234
6235
BUG FIXES:
6236
6237
* bzr-man.py has been updated to work again. Contributed by
6238
Rob Weir.
6239
6240
* Locking is now done with fcntl.lockf which works with NFS
6241
file systems. Contributed by Harald Meland.
6242
6243
* When a merge encounters a file that has been deleted on
6244
one side and modified on the other, the old contents are
6245
written out to foo.BASE and foo.SIDE, where SIDE is this
6246
or OTHER. Contributed by Aaron Bentley.
6247
6248
* Export was choosing incorrect file paths for the content of
6249
the tarball, this has been fixed by Aaron Bentley.
6250
6251
* Commit will no longer commit without a log message, an
6252
error is returned instead. Contributed by Jelmer Vernooij.
6253
6254
* If you commit a specific file in a sub directory, any of its
6255
parent directories that are added but not listed will be
6256
automatically included. Suggested by Michael Ellerman.
6257
6258
* bzr commit and upgrade did not correctly record new revisions
6259
for files with only a change to their executable status.
6260
bzr will correct this when it encounters it. Fixed by
6261
Robert Collins
6262
6263
* HTTP tests now force off the use of ``http_proxy`` for the duration.
6264
Contributed by Gustavo Niemeyer.
6265
6266
* Fix problems in merging weave-based branches that have
6267
different partial views of history.
6268
6269
* Symlink support: working with symlinks when not in the root of a
6270
bzr tree was broken, patch from Scott James Remnant.
6271
6272
IMPROVEMENTS:
6273
6274
* 'branch' now accepts a --basis parameter which will take advantage
6275
of local history when making a new branch. This allows faster
6276
branching of remote branches. Contributed by Aaron Bentley.
6277
6278
* New tree format based on weave files, called version 5.
6279
Existing branches can be upgraded to this format using
6280
'bzr upgrade'.
6281
6282
* Symlinks are now versionable. Initial patch by
6283
Erik Toubro Nielsen, updated to head by Robert Collins.
6284
6285
* Executable bits are tracked on files. Patch from Gustavo
6286
Niemeyer.
6287
6288
* 'bzr status' now shows unknown files inside a selected directory.
6289
Patch from Heikki Paajanen.
6290
6291
* Merge conflicts are recorded in .bzr. Two new commands 'conflicts'
6292
and 'resolve' have needed added, which list and remove those
6293
merge conflicts respectively. A conflicted tree cannot be committed
6294
in. Contributed by Aaron Bentley.
6295
6296
* 'rm' is now an alias for 'remove'.
6297
6298
* Stores now split out their content in a single byte prefixed hash,
6299
dropping the density of files per directory by 256. Contributed by
6300
Gustavo Niemeyer.
6301
6302
* 'bzr diff -r branch:URL' will now perform a diff between two branches.
6303
Contributed by Robert Collins.
6304
6305
* 'bzr log' with the default formatter will show merged revisions,
6306
indented to the right. Initial implementation contributed by Gustavo
6307
Niemeyer, made incremental by Robert Collins.
6308
6309
6310
INTERNALS:
6311
6312
* Test case failures have the exception printed after the log
6313
for your viewing pleasure.
6314
6315
* InventoryEntry is now an abstract base class, use one of the
6316
concrete InventoryDirectory etc classes instead.
6317
6318
* Branch raises an UnsupportedFormatError when it detects a
6319
bzr branch it cannot understand. This allows for precise
6320
handling of such circumstances.
6321
6322
* Remove RevisionReference class; ``Revision.parent_ids`` is now simply a
6323
list of their ids and ``parent_sha1s`` is a list of their corresponding
6324
sha1s (for old branches only at the moment.)
6325
6326
* New method-object style interface for Commit() and Fetch().
6327
6328
* Renamed ``Branch.last_patch()`` to ``Branch.last_revision()``, since
6329
we call them revisions not patches.
6330
6331
* Move ``copy_branch`` to ``bzrlib.clone.copy_branch``. The destination
6332
directory is created if it doesn't exist.
6333
6334
* Inventories now identify the files which were present by
6335
giving the revision *of that file*.
6336
6337
* Inventory and Revision XML contains a version identifier.
6338
This must be consistent with the overall branch version
6339
but allows for more flexibility in future upgrades.
6340
6341
TESTING:
6342
6343
* Removed testsweet module so that tests can be run after
6344
bzr installed by 'bzr selftest'.
6345
6346
* 'bzr selftest' command-line arguments can now be partial ids
6347
of tests to run, e.g. ``bzr selftest test_weave``
6348
6349
6350
bzr 0.0.9 2005-09-23
6351
--------------------
6352
6353
BUG FIXES:
6354
6355
* Fixed "branch -r" option.
6356
6357
* Fix remote access to branches containing non-compressed history.
6358
(Robert Collins).
6359
6360
* Better reliability of http server tests. (John Arbash-Meinel)
6361
6362
* Merge graph maximum distance calculation fix. (Aaron Bentley)
6363
6364
* Various minor bug in windows support have been fixed, largely in the
6365
test suite. Contributed by Alexander Belchenko.
6366
6367
IMPROVEMENTS:
6368
6369
* Status now accepts a -r argument to give status between chosen
6370
revisions. Contributed by Heikki Paajanen.
6371
6372
* Revision arguments no longer use +/-/= to control ranges, instead
6373
there is a 'before' namespace, which limits the successive namespace.
6374
For example '$ bzr log -r date:yesterday..before:date:today' will
6375
select everything from yesterday and before today. Contributed by
6376
Robey Pointer
6377
6378
* There is now a bzr.bat file created by distutils when building on
6379
Windows. Contributed by Alexander Belchenko.
6380
6381
INTERNALS:
6382
6383
* Removed uuid() as it was unused.
6384
6385
* Improved 'fetch' code for pulling revisions from one branch into
6386
another (used by pull, merged, etc.)
6387
6388
6389
bzr 0.0.8 2005-09-20
6390
--------------------
6391
6392
IMPROVEMENTS:
6393
6394
* Adding a file whose parent directory is not versioned will
6395
implicitly add the parent, and so on up to the root. This means
6396
you should never need to explictly add a directory, they'll just
6397
get added when you add a file in the directory. Contributed by
6398
Michael Ellerman.
6399
6400
* Ignore ``.DS_Store`` (contains Mac metadata) by default.
6401
(Nir Soffer)
6402
6403
* If you set ``BZR_EDITOR`` in the environment, it is checked in
6404
preference to EDITOR and the config file for the interactive commit
6405
editing program. Related to this is a bugfix where a missing program
6406
set in EDITOR would cause editing to fail, now the fallback program
6407
for the operating system is still tried.
6408
6409
* Files that are not directories/symlinks/regular files will no longer
6410
cause bzr to fail, it will just ignore them by default. You cannot add
6411
them to the tree though - they are not versionable.
6412
6413
6414
INTERNALS:
6415
6416
* Refactor xml packing/unpacking.
6417
6418
BUG FIXES:
6419
6420
* Fixed 'bzr mv' by Ollie Rutherfurd.
6421
6422
* Fixed strange error when trying to access a nonexistent http
6423
branch.
6424
6425
* Make sure that the hashcache gets written out if it can't be
6426
read.
6427
6428
6429
PORTABILITY:
6430
6431
* Various Windows fixes from Ollie Rutherfurd.
6432
6433
* Quieten warnings about locking; patch from Matt Lavin.
6434
6435
6436
bzr-0.0.7 2005-09-02
6437
--------------------
6438
6439
NEW FEATURES:
6440
6441
* ``bzr shell-complete`` command contributed by Clint Adams to
6442
help with intelligent shell completion.
6443
6444
* New expert command ``bzr find-merge-base`` for debugging merges.
6445
6446
6447
ENHANCEMENTS:
6448
6449
* Much better merge support.
6450
6451
* merge3 conflicts are now reported with markers like '<<<<<<<'
6452
(seven characters) which is the same as CVS and pleases things
6453
like emacs smerge.
6454
6455
6456
BUG FIXES:
6457
6458
* ``bzr upgrade`` no longer fails when trying to fix trees that
6459
mention revisions that are not present.
6460
6461
* Fixed bugs in listing plugins from ``bzr plugins``.
6462
6463
* Fix case of $EDITOR containing options for the editor.
6464
6465
* Fix log -r refusing to show the last revision.
6466
(Patch from Goffredo Baroncelli.)
6467
6468
6469
CHANGES:
6470
6471
* ``bzr log --show-ids`` shows the revision ids of all parents.
6472
6473
* Externally provided commands on your $BZRPATH no longer need
6474
to recognize --bzr-usage to work properly, and can just handle
6475
--help themselves.
6476
6477
6478
LIBRARY:
6479
6480
* Changed trace messages to go through the standard logging
6481
framework, so that they can more easily be redirected by
6482
libraries.

bzr-0.0.6 2005-08-18
6487
--------------------
6488
6489
NEW FEATURES:
6490
6491
* Python plugins, automatically loaded from the directories on
6492
``BZR_PLUGIN_PATH`` or ``~/.bzr.conf/plugins`` by default.
6493
6494
* New 'bzr mkdir' command.
6495
6496
* Commit mesage is fetched from an editor if not given on the
6497
command line; patch from Torsten Marek.
6498
6499
* ``bzr log -m FOO`` displays commits whose message matches regexp
6500
FOO.
6501
6502
* ``bzr add`` with no arguments adds everything under the current directory.
6503
6504
* ``bzr mv`` does move or rename depending on its arguments, like
6505
the Unix command.
6506
6507
* ``bzr missing`` command shows a summary of the differences
6508
between two trees. (Merged from John Arbash-Meinel.)
6509
6510
* An email address for commits to a particular tree can be
6511
specified by putting it into .bzr/email within a branch. (Based
6512
on a patch from Heikki Paajanen.)
6513
6514
6515
ENHANCEMENTS:
6516
6517
* Faster working tree operations.
6518
6519
6520
CHANGES:
6521
6522
* 3rd-party modules shipped with bzr are copied within the bzrlib
6523
python package, so that they can be installed by the setup
6524
script without clashing with anything already existing on the
6525
system. (Contributed by Gustavo Niemeyer.)
6526
6527
* Moved plugins directory to bzrlib/, so that there's a standard
6528
plugin directory which is not only installed with bzr itself but
6529
is also available when using bzr from the development tree.
6530
``BZR_PLUGIN_PATH`` and ``DEFAULT_PLUGIN_PATH`` are then added to the
6531
standard plugins directory.
6532
6533
* When exporting to a tarball with ``bzr export --format tgz``, put
6534
everything under a top directory rather than dumping it into the
6535
current directory. This can be overridden with the ``--root``
6536
option. Patch from William Dodé and John Meinel.
6537
6538
* New ``bzr upgrade`` command to upgrade the format of a branch,
6539
replacing ``bzr check --update``.
6540
6541
* Files within store directories are no longer marked readonly on
6542
disk.
6543
6544
* Changed ``bzr log`` output to a more compact form suggested by
6545
John A Meinel. Old format is available with the ``--long`` or
6546
``-l`` option, patched by William Dodé.
6547
6548
* By default the commit command refuses to record a revision with
6549
no changes unless the ``--unchanged`` option is given.
6550
6551
* The ``--no-plugins``, ``--profile`` and ``--builtin`` command
6552
line options must come before the command name because they
6553
affect what commands are available; all other options must come
6554
after the command name because their interpretation depends on
6555
it.
6556
6557
* ``branch`` and ``clone`` added as aliases for ``branch``.
6558
6559
* Default log format is back to the long format; the compact one
6560
is available with ``--short``.
6561
6562
6563
BUG FIXES:
6564
6565
* Fix bugs in committing only selected files or within a subdirectory.
6566
6567
6568
bzr-0.0.5 2005-06-15
6569
---------------------
6570
6571
CHANGES:
6572
6573
* ``bzr`` with no command now shows help rather than giving an
6574
error. Suggested by Michael Ellerman.
6575
6576
* ``bzr status`` output format changed, because svn-style output
6577
doesn't really match the model of bzr. Now files are grouped by
6578
status and can be shown with their IDs. ``bzr status --all``
6579
shows all versioned files and unknown files but not ignored files.
6580
6581
* ``bzr log`` runs from most-recent to least-recent, the reverse
6582
of the previous order. The previous behaviour can be obtained
6583
with the ``--forward`` option.
6584
6585
* ``bzr inventory`` by default shows only filenames, and also ids
6586
if ``--show-ids`` is given, in which case the id is the second
6587
field.
6588
6589
6590
ENHANCEMENTS:
6591
6592
* New 'bzr whoami --email' option shows only the email component
6593
of the user identification, from Jo Vermeulen.
6594
6595
* New ``bzr ignore PATTERN`` command.
6596
6597
* Nicer error message for broken pipe, interrupt and similar
6598
conditions that don't indicate an internal error.
6599
6600
* Add ``.*.sw[nop] .git .*.tmp *,v`` to default ignore patterns.
6601
6602
* Per-branch locks keyed on ``.bzr/branch-lock``, available in
6603
either read or write mode.
6604
6605
* New option ``bzr log --show-ids`` shows revision and file ids.
6606
6607
* New usage ``bzr log FILENAME`` shows only revisions that
6608
affected that file.
6609
6610
* Changed format for describing changes in ``bzr log -v``.
6611
6612
* New option ``bzr commit --file`` to take a message from a file,
6613
suggested by LarstiQ.
6614
6615
* New syntax ``bzr status [FILE...]`` contributed by Bartosz
6616
Oler. File may be in a branch other than the working directory.
6617
6618
* ``bzr log`` and ``bzr root`` can be given an http URL instead of
6619
a filename.
6620
6621
* Commands can now be defined by external programs or scripts
6622
in a directory on $BZRPATH.
6623
6624
* New "stat cache" avoids reading the contents of files if they
6625
haven't changed since the previous time.
6626
6627
* If the Python interpreter is too old, try to find a better one
6628
or give an error. Based on a patch from Fredrik Lundh.
6629
6630
* New optional parameter ``bzr info [BRANCH]``.
6631
6632
* New form ``bzr commit SELECTED`` to commit only selected files.
6633
6634
* New form ``bzr log -r FROM:TO`` shows changes in selected
6635
range; contributed by John A Meinel.
6636
6637
* New option ``bzr diff --diff-options 'OPTS'`` allows passing
6638
options through to an external GNU diff.
6639
6640
* New option ``bzr add --no-recurse`` to add a directory but not
6641
their contents.
6642
6643
* ``bzr --version`` now shows more information if bzr is being run
6644
from a branch.
6645
6646
6647
BUG FIXES:
6648
6649
* Fixed diff format so that added and removed files will be
6650
handled properly by patch. Fix from Lalo Martins.
6651
6652
* Various fixes for files whose names contain spaces or other
6653
metacharacters.
6654
6655
6656
TESTING:
6657
6658
* Converted black-box test suites from Bourne shell into Python;
6659
now run using ``./testbzr``. Various structural improvements to
6660
the tests.
6661
6662
* testbzr by default runs the version of bzr found in the same
6663
directory as the tests, or the one given as the first parameter.
6664
6665
* testbzr also runs the internal tests, so the only command
6666
required to check is just ``./testbzr``.
6667
6668
* testbzr requires python2.4, but can be used to test bzr running
6669
under a different version.
6670
6671
* Tests added for many other changes in this release.
6672
6673
6674
INTERNAL:
6675
6676
* Included ElementTree library upgraded to 1.2.6 by Fredrik Lundh.
6677
6678
* Refactor command functions into Command objects based on HCT by
6679
Scott James Remnant.
6680
6681
* Better help messages for many commands.
6682
6683
* Expose ``bzrlib.open_tracefile()`` to start the tracefile; until
6684
this is called trace messages are just discarded.
6685
6686
* New internal function ``find_touching_revisions()`` and hidden
6687
command touching-revisions trace the changes to a given file.
6688
6689
* Simpler and faster ``compare_inventories()`` function.
6690
6691
* ``bzrlib.open_tracefile()`` takes a tracefilename parameter.
6692
6693
* New AtomicFile class.
6694
6695
* New developer commands ``added``, ``modified``.
6696
6697
6698
PORTABILITY:
6699
6700
* Cope on Windows on python2.3 by using the weaker random seed.
6701
2.4 is now only recommended.
6702
6703
6704
bzr-0.0.4 2005-04-22
6705
---------------------
6706
6707
ENHANCEMENTS:
6708
6709
* 'bzr diff' optionally takes a list of files to diff. Still a bit
6710
basic. Patch from QuantumG.
6711
6712
* More default ignore patterns.
6713
6714
* New 'bzr log --verbose' shows a list of files changed in the
6715
changeset. Patch from Sebastian Cote.
6716
6717
* Roll over ~/.bzr.log if it gets too large.
6718
6719
* Command abbreviations 'ci', 'st', 'stat', '?' based on a patch
6720
by Jason Diamon.
6721
6722
* New 'bzr help commands' based on a patch from Denys Duchier.
6723
6724
6725
CHANGES:
6726
6727
* User email is determined by looking at $BZREMAIL or ~/.bzr.email
6728
or $EMAIL. All are decoded by the locale preferred encoding.
6729
If none of these are present user@hostname is used. The host's
6730
fully-qualified name is not used because that tends to fail when
6731
there are DNS problems.
6732
6733
* New 'bzr whoami' command instead of username user-email.
6734
6735
6736
BUG FIXES:
6737
6738
* Make commit safe for hardlinked bzr trees.
6739
6740
* Some Unicode/locale fixes.
6741
6742
* Partial workaround for ``difflib.unified_diff`` not handling
6743
trailing newlines properly.
6744
6745
6746
INTERNAL:
6747
6748
* Allow docstrings for help to be in PEP0257 format. Patch from
6749
Matt Brubeck.
6750
6751
* More tests in test.sh.
6752
6753
* Write profile data to a temporary file not into working
6754
directory and delete it when done.
6755
6756
* Smaller .bzr.log with process ids.
6757
6758
6759
PORTABILITY:
6760
6761
* Fix opening of ~/.bzr.log on Windows. Patch from Andrew
6762
Bennetts.
6763
6764
* Some improvements in handling paths on Windows, based on a patch
6765
from QuantumG.

6767
6768
bzr-0.0.3 2005-04-06
6769

6774
in the tree.
6775
6776

6777
6778
* New "rename" command to rename one file to a different name
6779
and/or directory.
6780
6781
* New "move" command to move one or more files into a different
6782
directory.
6783
6784
* New "renames" command lists files renamed since base revision.
6785
6786
* New cat command contributed by janmar.
6787
6788
CHANGES:
6789
6790
* .bzr.log is placed in $HOME (not pwd) and is always written in
6791
UTF-8. (Probably not a completely good long-term solution, but
6792
will do for now.)
6793
6794
PORTABILITY:
6795
6796
* Workaround for difflib bug in Python 2.3 that causes an
6797
exception when comparing empty files. Reported by Erik Toubro
6798
Nielsen.
6799
6800
INTERNAL:
6801
6802
* Refactored inventory storage to insert a root entry at the top.
6803
6804
TESTING:
6805

6818
-----------------------------------
6819
6820
ENHANCEMENTS:
6821
6822
* Default ignore list extended (see bzrlib/__init__.py).
6823
6824
* Patterns in .bzrignore are now added to the default ignore list,
6825
rather than replacing it.
6826
6827
* Ignore list isn't reread for every file.
6828
6829
* More help topics.
6830
6831
* Reinstate the 'bzr check' command to check invariants of the
6832
branch.
6833
6834
* New 'ignored' command lists which files are ignored and why;
6835
'deleted' lists files deleted in the current working tree.
6836
6837
* Performance improvements.
6838
6839
* New global --profile option.
6840
6841
* Ignore patterns like './config.h' now correctly match files in
6842
the root directory only.
6843
6844
6845

6855
committing to stores.
6856
6857
* More useful verbose output from some commands.
6858
6859
BUG FIXES:
6860

6862
6863
PORTABILITY:
6864
6865

6866
installation easier.
6867
6868
* Fix time.localtime call to work with Python 2.3 (the minimum
6869
supported).
6870

6872
bzr-0.0.0.69 2005-03-22
6873
------------------------
6874

ENHANCEMENTS:
6876
6877
