IN DEVELOPMENT

--------------
9
10
CHANGES:
11
12
* ``bzr export`` can now export a subdirectory of a project.
13
(Robert Collins)
14
15
* ``bzr rm`` will now scan for files that are missing and remove just
16
them automatically, much as ``bzr add`` scans for new files that
17
are not ignored and adds them automatically. (Robert Collins)
18
19
FEATURES
20
21
* Support for GSSAPI authentication when using FTP as documented in
22
RFC2228. (Jelmer Vernooij, #49623)
23
24
IMPROVEMENTS:
25
26
* A url like ``log+file:///tmp`` will log all access to that Transport
27
to ``.bzr.log``, which may help in debugging or profiling.
28
(Martin Pool)
29
30
* ``bzr branch`` and ``bzr push`` use the default stacking policy if the
31
branch format supports it. (Aaron Bentley)
32
33
* ``bzr init`` and ``bzr init-repo`` will now print out the same as
34
``bzr info`` if it completed successfully.
35
(Marius Kruger)
36
37
* ``bzr uncommit`` logs the old tip revision id, and displays how to
38
restore the branch to that tip using ``bzr pull``. This allows you
39
to recover if you realize you uncommitted the wrong thing.
40
(John Arbash Meinel)
41
42
* Fix problems in accessing stacked repositories over ``bzr://``.
43
(Martin Pool, #261315)
44
45
* ``SFTPTransport.readv()`` was accidentally using ``list += string``,
46
which 'works', but adds each character separately to the list,
47
rather than using ``list.append(string)``. Fixing this makes the
48
SFTP transport a little bit faster (~20%) and use a bit less memory.
49
(John Arbash Meinel)
50
51
* When reading index files, if we happen to read the whole file in a
52
single request treat it as a ``_buffer_all`` request. This happens
53
most often on small indexes over remote transports, where we default
54
to reading 64kB. It saves a round trip for each small index during
55
fetch operations. Also, if we have read more than 50% of an index
56
file, trigger a ``_buffer_all`` on the next request. This works
57
around some inefficiencies because reads don't fall neatly on page
58
boundaries, so we would ignore those bytes, but request them again
59
later. This could trigger a total read size of more than the whole
60
file. (John Arbash Meinel)
61
62
BUG FIXES:
63
64
* ``bzr rm`` is now aliased to ``bzr del`` for the convenience of svn
65
users. (Robert Collins, #205416)
66
67
* Catch the infamous "select/poll returned error" which occurs when
68
pycurl try to send a body request to an HTTP/1.0 server which has
69
already refused to handle the request. (Vincent Ladeuil, #225020)
70
71
* ``FTPTransport.stat()`` would return ``0000`` as the permission bits
72
for the containing ``.bzr/`` directory (it does not implement
73
permissions). This would cause us to set all subdirectories to
74
``0700`` and files to ``0600`` rather than leaving them unmodified.
75
Now we ignore ``0000`` as the permissions and assume they are
76
invalid. (John Arbash Meinel, #259855)
77
78
* Merging from a previously joined branch will no longer cause
79
a traceback. (Jelmer Vernooij, #203376)
80
81
* Pack operations on windows network shares will work even with large
82
files. (Robert Collins, #255656)
83
84
* Running ``bzr st PATH_TO_TREE`` will no longer suppress merge
85
status. Status is also about 7% faster on mozilla sized trees
86
when the path to the root of the tree has been given. Users of
87
the internal ``show_tree_status`` function should be aware that
88
the show_pending flag is now authoritative for showing pending
89
merges, as it was originally. (Robert Collins, #225204)
90
91
* Set valid default _param_name for Option so that ListOption can embed
92
'-' in names. (Vincent Ladeuil, #263249)
93
94
* Show proper error rather than traceback when an unknown revision
95
id is specified to ``bzr cat-revision``. (Jelmer Vernooij, #175569)
96
97
* Trailing text in the dirstate file could cause the C dirstate parser
98
to try to allocate an invalid amount of memory. We now properly
99
check and test for parsing a dirstate with invalid trailing data.
100
(John Arbash Meinel, #186014)
101
102
* Use a Windows api function to get a Unicode host name, rather than
103
assuming the host name is ascii.
104
(Mark Hammond, John Arbash Meinel, #256550)
105
106
* ``WorkingTree4`` trees will now correctly report missing-and-new
107
paths in the output of ``iter_changes``. (Robert Collins)
108
109
DOCUMENTATION:
110
111
* Updated developer documentation. (Martin Pool)
112
113
API CHANGES:
114
115
* Exporters now take 4 parameters. (Robert Collins)
116
117
* ``Tree.iter_changes`` will now return False for the content change
118
field when a file is missing in the basis tree and not present in
119
the target tree. Previously it returned True unconditionally.
120
(Robert Collins)
121
122
* The deprecated ``Branch.abspath`` and unimplemented
123
``Branch.rename_one`` and ``Branch.move`` were removed. (Jelmer Vernooij)
124
125
* BzrDir.clone_on_transport implementations must now accept a stacked_on
126
parameter. (Aaron Bentley)
127
128
* BzrDir.cloning_metadir implementations must now take a require_stacking
129
parameter. (Aaron Bentley)
130
131
TESTING:
132
133
* ``addCleanup`` now takes ``*arguments`` and ``**keyword_arguments``
134
which are then passed to the cleanup callable as it is run. In
135
addition, addCleanup no longer requires that the callables passed to
136
it be unique. (Jonathan Lange)
137
138
* ``selftest``'s ``--starting-with`` option can now use predefined
139
prefixes so that one can say ``bzr selftest -s bp.loom`` instead of
140
``bzr selftest -s bzrlib.plugins.loom``. (Vincent Ladeuil)
141
142
* ``selftest``'s ``--starting-with`` option now accepts multiple values.
143
(Vincent Ladeuil)
144
145
INTERNALS:
146
147
* A new plugin interface, ``bzrlib.log.log_adapters``, has been added.
148
This allows dynamic log output filtering by plugins.
149
(Robert Collins)
150
151
* ``bzrlib.btree_index`` is now available, providing a b-tree index
152
layer. The design is memory conservative (limited memory cache),
153
faster to seek (approx 100 nodes per page, gives 100-way fan out),
154
and stores compressed pages allowing more keys per page.
155
(Robert Collins, John Arbash Meinel)
156
157
* ``bzrlib.diff.DiffTree.show_diff`` now skips changes where the kind
158
is unknown in both source and target.
159
(Robert Collins, Aaron Bentley)
160
161
* ``GraphIndexBuilder.add_node`` and ``BTreeBuilder`` have been
162
streamlined a bit. This should make creating large indexes faster.
163
(In benchmarking, it now takes less time to create a BTree index than
164
it takes to read the GraphIndex one.) (John Arbash Meinel)
165
166
* Mail clients for `bzr send` are now listed in a registry. This
167
allows plugins to add new clients by registering them with
168
``bzrlib.mail_client.mail_client_registry``. All of the built-in
169
clients now use this mechanism. (Neil Martinsen-Burrell)
170
171
172
bzr 1.6.1rc2 2008-09-03
173
-----------------------
174
175
BUG FIXES:
176
177
* Copying between ``rich-root`` and ``rich-root-pack`` (and vice
178
versa) was accidentally using the inter-model fetcher, instead of
179
recognizing that both were 'rich root' formats.
180
(John Arbash Meinel, #264321)
181
182
183
bzr 1.6.1rc1 2008-08-29
184
-----------------------
185
186
This release fixes a few regressions found in the 1.6 client. Fetching
187
changes was using an O(N^2) buffering algorithm, so for large projects it
188
would cause memory thrashing. There is also a specific problem with the
189
``--1.6-rich-root`` format, which prevented stacking on top of
190
``--rich-root-pack`` repositories, and could allow users to accidentally
191
fetch experimental data (``-subtree``) without representing it properly.
192
The ``--1.6-rich-root`` format has been deprecated and users are
193
recommended to upgrade to ``--1.6.1-rich-root`` immediately. Also we
194
re-introduced a workaround for users who have repositories with incorrect
195
nodes (not possible if you only used official releases).
196
I should also clarify that none of this is data loss level issues, but
197
still sufficient enough to warrant an updated release.
198
199
BUG FIXES:
200
201
* ``RemoteTransport.readv()`` was being inefficient about how it
202
buffered the readv data and processed it. It would keep appending to
203
the same string (causing many copies) and then pop bytes out of the
204
start of the string (causing more copies).
205
With this patch "bzr+ssh://local" can improve dramatically,
206
especially for projects with large files.
207
(John Arbash Meinel)
208
209
* Revision texts were always meant to be stored as fulltexts. There
210
was a bug in a bzr.dev version that would accidentally create deltas
211
when copying from a Pack repo to a Knit repo. This has been fixed,
212
but to support those repositories, we know always request full texts
213
for Revision texts. (John Arbash Meinel, #261339)
214
215
* The previous ``--1.6-rich-root`` format used an incorrect xml
216
serializer, which would accidentally support fetching from a
217
repository that supported subtrees, even though the local one would
218
not. We deprecated that format, and introduced a new one that uses
219
the correct serializer ``--1.6.1-rich-root``.
220
(John Arbash Meinel, #262333)
221
222
223
bzr 1.6 2008-08-25
224
------------------
225
226
Finally, the long awaited bzr 1.6 has been released. This release includes
227
new features like Stacked Branches, improved weave merge, and an updated
228
server protocol (now on v3) which will allow for better cross version
229
compatibility. With this release we have deprecated Knit format
230
repositories, and recommend that users upgrade them, we will continue to
231
support reading and writing them for the forseeable future, but we will
232
not be tuning them for performance as pack repositories have proven to be
233
better at scaling. This will also be the first release to bundle
234
TortoiseBzr in the standalone Windows installer.
235
236
237
bzr 1.6rc5 2008-08-19
238
---------------------
239
240
BUG FIXES:
241
242
* Disable automatic detection of stacking based on a containing
243
directory of the target. It interacted badly with push, and needs a
244
bit more work to get the edges polished before it should happen
245
automatically. (John Arbash Meinel, #259275)
246
(This change was reverted when merged to bzr.dev)
247
248
249
bzr 1.6rc4 2008-08-18
250
---------------------
251
252
BUG FIXES:
253
254
* Fix a regression in knit => pack fetching. We had a logic
255
inversion, causing the fetch to insert fulltexts in random order,
256
rather than preserving deltas. (John Arbash Meinel, #256757)
257
258
259
bzr 1.6rc3 2008-08-14
260
---------------------
261
262
CHANGES:
263
264
* Disable reading ``.bzrrules`` as a per-branch rule preferences
265
file. The feature was not quite ready for a full release.
266
(Robert Collins)
267
268
IMPROVEMENTS:
269
270
* Update the windows installer to bundle TortoiseBzr and ``qbzr``
271
into the standalone installer. This will be the first official
272
windows release that installs Tortoise by default.
273
(Mark Hammond)
274
275
BUG FIXES:
276
277
* Fix a regression in ``bzr+http`` support. There was a missing
278
function (``_read_line``) that needed to be carried over from
279
``bzr+ssh`` support. (Andrew Bennetts)
280
281
* ``GraphIndex`` objects will internally read an entire index if more
282
than 1/20th of their keyspace is requested in a single operation.
283
This largely mitigates a performance regression in ``bzr log FILE``
284
and completely corrects the performance regression in ``bzr log``.
285
The regression was caused by removing an accomodation which had been
286
supporting the index format in use. A newer index format is in
287
development which is substantially faster. (Robert Collins)
288
289
290
bzr 1.6rc2 2008-08-13
291
---------------------
292
293
This release candidate has a few minor bug fixes, and some regression
294
fixes for Windows.
295
296
BUG FIXES:
297
298
* ``bzr upgrade`` on remote branches accessed via bzr:// and
299
bzr+ssh:// now works. (Andrew Bennetts)
300
301
* Change the ``get_format_description()`` strings for
302
``RepositoryFormatKnitPack5`` et al to be single line messages.
303
(Aaron Bentley)
304
305
* Fix for a regression on Win32 where we would try to call
306
``os.listdir()`` on a file and not catch the exception properly.
307
(Windows raises a different exception.) This would manifest in
308
places like ``bzr rm file`` or ``bzr switch``.
309
(Mark Hammond, John Arbash Meinel)
310
311
* ``Inventory.copy()`` was failing to set the revision property for
312
the root entry. (Jelmer Vernooij)
313
314
* sftp transport: added missing ``FileExists`` case to
315
``_translate_io_exception`` (Christophe Troestler, #123475)
316
317
* The help for ``bzr ignored`` now suggests ``bzr ls --ignored`` for
318
scripting use. (Robert Collins, #3834)
319
320
* The default ``annotate`` logic will now always assign the
321
last-modified value of a line to one of the revisions that modified
322
it, rather than a merge revision. This would happen when both sides
323
claimed to have modified the line resulting in the same text. The
324
choice is arbitrary but stable, so merges in different directions
325
will get the same results. (John Arbash Meinel, #232188)
326
327
328
bzr 1.6rc1 2008-08-06
329
---------------------
330
331
This release candidate for bzr 1.6 solidifies the new branch stacking
332
feature. Bazaar now recommends that users upgrade all knit repositories,
333
because later formats are much faster. However, we plan to continue read/write and
334
upgrade support for knit repostories for the forseeable future. Several
335
other bugs and performance issues were fixed.
336
337
CHANGES:
338
339
* Knit format repositories are deprecated and bzr will now emit
340
warnings whenever it encounters one. Use ``bzr upgrade`` to upgrade
341
knit repositories to pack format. (Andrew Bennetts)
342
343
IMPROVEMENTS:
344
345
* ``bzr check`` can now be told which elements at a location it should
346
check. (Daniel Watkins)
347
348
* Commit now supports ``--exclude`` (or ``-x``) to exclude some files
349
from the commit. (Robert Collins, #3117)
350
351
* Fetching data between repositories that have the same model but no
352
optimised fetcher will not reserialise all the revisions, increasing
353
performance. (Robert Collins, John Arbash Meinel)
354
355
* Give a more specific error when target branch is not reachable.
356
(James Westby)
357
358
* Implemented a custom ``walkdirs_utf8`` implementation for win32.
359
This uses a pyrex extension to get direct access to the
360
``FindFirstFileW`` style apis, rather than using ``listdir`` +
361
``lstat``. Shows a very strong improvement in commands like
362
``status`` and ``diff`` which have to iterate the working tree.
363
Anywhere from 2x-6x faster depending on the size of the tree (bigger
364
trees, bigger benefit.) (John Arbash Meinel)
365
366
* New registry for log properties handles and the method in
367
LongLogFormatter to display the custom properties returned by the
368
registered handlers. (Guillermo Gonzalez, #162469)
369
370
BUG FIXES:
371
372
* Add more tests that stacking does not create deltas spanning
373
physical repository boundaries.
374
(Martin Pool, #252428)
375
376
* Better message about incompatible repositories.
377
(Martin Pool, #206258)
378
379
* ``bzr branch --stacked`` ensures the destination branch format can
380
support stacking, even if the origin does not.
381
(Martin Pool)
382
383
* ``bzr export`` no longer exports ``.bzrrules``.
384
(Ian Clatworthy)
385
386
* ``bzr serve --directory=/`` now correctly allows the whole
387
filesystem to be accessed on Windows, not just the root of the drive
388
that Python is running from.
389
(Adrian Wilkins, #240910)
390
391
* Deleting directories by hand before running ``bzr rm`` will not
392
cause subsequent errors in ``bzr st`` and ``bzr commit``.
393
(Robert Collins, #150438)
394
395
* Fix a test case that was failing if encoding wasn't UTF-8.
396
(John Arbash Meinel, #247585)
397
398
* Fix "no buffer space available" error when branching with the new
399
smart server protocol to or from Windows.
400
(Andrew Bennetts, #246180)
401
402
* Fixed problem in branching from smart server.
403
(#249256, Michael Hudson, Martin Pool)
404
405
* Handle a file turning in to a directory in TreeTransform.
406
(James Westby, #248448)
407
408
API CHANGES:
409
410
* ``MutableTree.commit`` has an extra optional keywork parameter
411
``exclude`` that will be unconditionally supplied by the command
412
line UI - plugins that add tree formats may need an update.
413
(Robert Collins)
414
415
* The API minimum version for plugin compatibility has been raised to
416
1.6 - there are significant changes throughout the code base.
417
(Robert Collins)
418
419
* The generic fetch code now uses three attributes on Repository objects
420
to control fetch. The streams requested are controlled via :
421
``_fetch_order`` and ``_fetch_uses_deltas``. Setting these
422
appropriately allows different repository implementations to recieve
423
data in their optimial form. If the ``_fetch_reconcile`` is set then
424
a reconcile operation is triggered at the end of the fetch.
425
(Robert Collins)
426
427
* The ``put_on_disk`` and ``get_tar_item`` methods in
428
``InventoryEntry`` were deprecated. (Ian Clatworthy)
429
430
* ``Repository.is_shared`` doesn't take a read lock. It didn't
431
need one in the first place (nobody cached the value, and
432
``RemoteRepository`` wasn't taking one either). This saves a round
433
trip when probing Pack repositories, as they read the ``pack-names``
434
file when locked. And during probe, locking the repo isn't very
435
useful. (John Arbash Meinel)
436
437
INTERNALS:
438
439
* ``bzrlib.branchbuilder.BranchBuilder`` is now much more capable of
440
putting together a real history without having to create a full
441
WorkingTree. It is recommended that tests that are not directly
442
testing the WorkingTree use BranchBuilder instead. See
443
``BranchBuilder.build_snapshot`` or
444
``TestCaseWithMemoryTree.make_branch_builder``. (John Arbash Meinel)
445
446
* ``bzrlib.builtins.internal_tree_files`` broken into two giving a new
447
helper ``safe_relpath_files`` - used by the new ``exclude``
448
parameter to commit. (Robert Collins)
449
450
* Make it easier to introduce new WorkingTree formats.
451
(Ian Clatworthy)
452
453
* The code for exporting trees was refactored not to use the
454
deprecated ``InventoryEntry`` methods. (Ian Clatworthy)
455
456
* RuleSearchers return () instead of [] now when there are no matches.

bzr 1.6beta3 2008-07-17
461
-----------------------
462
463
This release adds a new 'stacked branches' feature allowing branches to
464
share storage without being in the same repository or on the same machine.
465
(See the user guide for more details.) It also adds a new hook, improved
466
weaves, aliases for related locations, faster bzr+ssh push, and several
467
bug fixes.
468
469
FEATURES:
470
471
* New ``pre_change_branch_tip`` hook that is called before the
472
branch tip is moved, while the branch is write-locked. See the User
473
Reference for signature details. (Andrew Bennetts)
474
475
* Rule-based preferences can now be defined for selected files in
476
selected branches, allowing commands and plugins to provide
477
custom behaviour for files matching defined patterns.
478
See ``Rule-based preferences`` (part of ``Configuring Bazaar``)
479
in the User Guide and ``bzr help rules`` for more information.
480
(Ian Clatworthy)
481
482
* Sites may suggest a branch to stack new branches on. (Aaron Bentley)
483
484
* Stacked branches are now supported. See ``bzr help branch`` and
485
``bzr help push``. Branches must be in the ``development1`` format
486
to stack, though the stacked-on branch can be of any format.
487
(Robert Collins)
488
489
IMPROVEMENTS:
490
491
* ``bzr export --format=tgz --root=NAME -`` to export a gzipped tarball
492
to stdout; also ``tar`` and ``tbz2``.
493
(Martin Pool)
494
495
* ``bzr (re)merge --weave`` will now use a standard Weave algorithm,
496
rather than the annotation-based merge it was using. It does so by
497
building up a Weave of the important texts, without needing to build
498
the full ancestry. (John Arbash Meinel, #238895)
499
500
* ``bzr send`` documents and better supports ``emacsclient`` (proper
501
escaping of mail headers and handling of the MUA Mew).
502
(Christophe Troestler)
503
504
* Remembered locations can be specified by aliases, e.g. :parent, :public,
505
:submit. (Aaron Bentley)
506
507
* The smart protocol now has improved support for setting branches'
508
revision info directly. This makes operations like push
509
faster. The new request method name is
510
``Branch.set_last_revision_ex``. (Andrew Bennetts)
511
512
BUG FIXES:
513
514
* Bazaar is now able to be a client to the web server of IIS 6 and 7.
515
The broken implementations of RFC822 in Python and RFC2046 in IIS
516
combined with boundary-line checking in Bazaar previously made this
517
impossible. (NB, IIS 5 does not suffer from this problem).
518
(Adrian Wilkins, #247585)
519
520
* ``bzr log --long`` with a ghost in your mainline now handles that
521
ghost properly. (John Arbash Meinel, #243536)
522
523
* ``check`` handles the split-up .bzr layout correctly, so no longer
524
requires a branch to be present.
525
(Daniel Watkins, #64783)
526
527
* Clearer message about how to set the PYTHONPATH if bzrlib can't be
528
loaded.
529
(Martin Pool, #205230)
530
531
* Errors about missing libraries are now shown without a traceback,
532
and with a suggestion to install the library. The full traceback is
533
still in ``.bzr.log`` and can be shown with ``-Derror``.
534
(Martin Pool, #240161)
535
536
* Fetch from a stacked branch copies all required data.
537
(Aaron Bentley, #248506)
538
539
* Handle urls such as ftp://user@host.com@www.host.com where the user
540
name contains an @.
541
(Neil Martinsen-Burrell, #228058)
542
543
* ``needs_read_lock`` and ``needs_write_lock`` now suppress an error during
544
``unlock`` if there was an error in the original function. This helps
545
most when there is a failure with a smart server action, since often the
546
connection closes and we cannot unlock.
547
(Andrew Bennetts, John Arbash Meinel, #125784)
548
549
* Obsolete hidden command ``bzr fetch`` removed.
550
(Martin Pool, #172870)
551
552
* Raise the correct exception when doing ``-rbefore:0`` or ``-c0``.
553
(John Arbash Meinel, #239933)
554
555
* You can now compare file revisions in Windows diff programs from
556
Cygwin Bazaar.
557
(Matt McClure, #209281)
558
559
* revision_history now tolerates mainline ghosts for Branch format 6.
560
(Aaron Bentley, #235055)
561
562
* Set locale from environment for third party libs.
563
(Martin von Gagern, #128496)
564
565
DOCUMENTATION:
566
567
* Added *Using stacked branches* to the User Guide.
568
(Ian Clatworthy)
569
570
* Updated developer documentation.
571
(Martin Pool)
572
573
TESTING:
574
575
* ``-Dmemory`` will cause /proc/PID/status to be catted before bzr
576
exits, allowing low-key analysis of peak memory use. (Robert Collins)
577
578
* ``TestCaseWithTransport.make_branch_and_tree`` tries harder to return
579
a tree with a ``branch`` attribute of the right format. This was
580
preventing some ``RemoteBranch`` tests from actually running with
581
``RemoteBranch`` instances. (Andrew Bennetts)
582
583
API CHANGES:
584
585
* Removed ``Repository.text_store``, ``control_store``, etc. Instead,
586
there are new attributes ``texts, inventories, revisions,
587
signatures``, each of which is a ``VersionedFiles``. See the
588
Repository docstring for more details.
589
(Robert Collins)
590
591
* ``Branch.pull`` now accepts an ``_override_hook_target`` optional
592
parameter. If you have a subclass of ``Branch`` that overrides
593
``pull`` then you should add this parameter. (Andrew Bennetts)
594
595
* ``bzrlib.check.check()`` has been deprecated in favour of the more
596
aptly-named ``bzrlib.check.check_branch()``.
597
(Daniel Watkins)
598
599
* ``Tree.print_file`` and ``Repository.print_file`` are deprecated.
600
These methods are bad APIs because they write directly to sys.stdout.
601
bzrlib does not use them internally, and there are no direct tests
602
for them. (Alexander Belchenko)
603
604
INTERNALS:
605
606
* ``cat`` command no longer uses ``Tree.print_file()`` internally.
607
(Alexander Belchenko)
608
609
* New class method ``BzrDir.open_containing_tree_branch_or_repository``
610
which eases the discovery of the tree, the branch and the repository
611
containing a given location.
612
(Daniel Watkins)
613
614
* New ``versionedfile.KeyMapper`` interface to abstract out the access to
615
underlying .knit/.kndx etc files in repositories with partitioned
616
storage. (Robert Collins)
617
618
* Obsolete developer-use command ``weave-join`` has been removed.
619
(Robert Collins)
620
621
* ``RemoteToOtherFetcher`` and ``get_data_stream_for_search`` removed,
622
to support new ``VersionedFiles`` layering.
623
(Robert Collins)
624
625
626
bzr 1.6beta2 2008-06-10
627
-----------------------
628
629
This release contains further progress towards our 1.6 goals of shallow
630
repositories, and contains a fix for some user-affecting bugs in the
631
repository layer. Building working trees during checkout and branch is
632
now faster.
633
634
BUG FIXES:
635
636
* Avoid KnitCorrupt error extracting inventories from some repositories.
637
(The data is not corrupt; an internal check is detecting a problem
638
reading from the repository.)
639
(Martin Pool, Andrew Bennetts, Robert Collins, #234748)
640
641
* ``bzr status`` was breaking if you merged the same revision twice.
642
(John Arbash Meinel, #235407)
643
644
* Fix infinite loop consuming 100% CPU when a connection is lost while
645
reading a response body via the smart protocol v1 or v2.
646
(Andrew Bennetts)
647
648
* Inserting a bundle which changes the contents of a file with no trailing
649
end of line, causing a knit snapshot in a 'knits' repository will no longer
650
cause KnitCorrupt. (Robert Collins)
651
652
* ``RemoteBranch.pull`` needs to return the ``self._real_branch``'s
653
pull result. It was instead just returning None, which breaks ``bzr
654
pull``. (John Arbash Meinel, #238149)
655
656
* Sanitize branch nick before using it as an attachment filename in
657
``bzr send``. (Lukáš Lalinský, #210218)
658
659
* Squash ``inv_entry.symlink_target`` to a plain string when
660
generating DirState details. This prevents from getting a
661
``UnicodeError`` when you have symlinks and non-ascii filenames.
662
(John Arbash Meinel, #135320)
663
664
IMPROVEMENTS:
665
666
* Added the 'alias' command to set/unset and display aliases. (Tim Penhey)
667
668
* ``added``, ``modified``, and ``unknowns`` behaviour made consistent (all three
669
now quote paths where required). Added ``--null`` option to ``added`` and
670
``modified`` (for null-separated unknowns, use ``ls --unknown --null``)
671
(Adrian Wilkins)
672
673
* Faster branching (1.09x) and lightweight checkouts (1.06x) on large trees.
674
(Ian Clatworthy, Aaron Bentley)
675
676
DOCUMENTATION:
677
678
* Added *Bazaar Zen* section to the User Guide. (Ian Clatworthy)
679
680
TESTING:
681
682
* Fix the test HTTPServer to be isolated from chdir calls made while it is
683
running, allowing it to be used in blackbox tests. (Robert Collins)
684
685
API CHANGES:
686
687
* ``WorkingTree.set_parent_(ids/trees)`` will now filter out revisions
688
which are in the ancestry of other revisions. So if you merge the same
689
tree twice, or merge an ancestor of an existing merge, it will only
690
record the newest. (If you merge a descendent, it will replace its
691
ancestor). (John Arbash Meinel, #235407)
692
693
* ``RepositoryPolicy.__init__`` now requires stack_on and stack_on_pwd,
694
through the derived classes do not. (Aaron Bentley)
695
696
INTERNALS:
697
698
* ``bzrlib.bzrdir.BzrDir.sprout`` now accepts ``stacked`` to control
699
creating stacked branches. (Robert Collins)
700
701
* Knit record serialisation is now stricter on what it will accept, to
702
guard against potential internal bugs, or broken input. (Robert Collins)
703
704
705
bzr 1.6beta1 2008-06-02
706
-----------------------
707
708
709
Commands that work on the revision history such as push, pull, missing,
710
uncommit and log are now substantially faster. This release adds a
711
translation of some of the user documentation into Spanish. (Contributions of
712
other translations would be very welcome.) Bazaar 1.6beta1 adds a new network
713
protocol which is used by default and which allows for more efficient transfers
714
and future extensions.
715
716
717
NOTES WHEN UPGRADING:
718
719
* There is a new version of the network protocol used for bzr://, bzr+ssh://
720
and bzr+http:// connections. This will allow more efficient requests and
721
responses, and more graceful fallback when a server is too old to
722
recognise a request from a more recent client. Bazaar 1.6 will
723
interoperate with 0.16 and later versions, but servers should be upgraded
724
when possible. Bazaar 1.6 no longer interoperates with 0.15 and earlier via
725
these protocols. Use alternatives like SFTP or upgrade those servers.
726
(Andrew Bennetts, #83935)
727
728
CHANGES:
729
730
* Deprecation warnings will not be suppressed when running ``bzr selftest``
731
so that developers can see if their code is using deprecated functions.
732
(John Arbash Meinel)
733
734
FEATURES:
735
736
* Adding ``-Derror`` will now display a traceback when a plugin fails to
737
load. (James Westby)
738
739
IMPROVEMENTS:
740
741
* ``bzr branch/push/pull -r XXX`` now have a helper function for finding
742
the revno of the new revision (``Graph.find_distance_to_null``). This
743
should make something like ``bzr branch -r -100`` in a shared, no-trees
744
repository much snappier. (John Arbash Meinel)
745
746
* ``bzr log --short -r X..Y`` no longer needs to access the full revision
747
history. This makes it noticeably faster when logging the last few
748
revisions. (John Arbash Meinel)
749
750
* ``bzr ls`` now accepts ``-V`` as an alias for ``--versioned``.
751
(Jerad Cramp, #165086)
752
753
* ``bzr missing`` uses the new ``Graph.find_unique_ancestors`` and
754
``Graph.find_differences`` to determine missing revisions without having
755
to search the whole ancestry. (John Arbash Meinel, #174625)
756
757
* ``bzr uncommit`` now uses partial history access, rather than always
758
extracting the full revision history for a branch. This makes it
759
resolve the appropriate revisions much faster (in testing it drops
760
uncommit from 1.5s => 0.4s). It also means ``bzr log --short`` is one
761
step closer to not using full revision history.
762
(John Arbash Meinel, #172649)
763
764
BUGFIXES:
765
766
* ``bzr merge --lca`` should handle when two revisions have no common
767
ancestor other than NULL_REVISION. (John Arbash Meinel, #235715)
768
769
* ``bzr status`` was breaking if you merged the same revision twice.
770
(John Arbash Meinel, #235407)
771
772
* ``bzr push`` with both ``--overwrite`` and ``-r NNN`` options no longer
773
fails. (Andrew Bennetts, #234229)
774
775
* Correctly track the base URL of a smart medium when using bzr+http://
776
URLs, which was causing spurious "No repository present" errors with
777
branches in shared repositories accessed over bzr+http.
778
(Andrew Bennetts, #230550)
779
780
* Define ``_remote_is_at_least_1_2`` on ``SmartClientMedium`` so that all
781
implementations have the attribute. Fixes 'PyCurlTransport' object has no
782
attribute '_remote_is_at_least_1_2' attribute errors.
783
(Andrew Bennetts, #220806)
784
785
* Failure to delete an obsolete pack file should just give a warning
786
message, not a fatal error. It may for example fail if the file is still
787
in use by another process.
788
(Martin Pool)
789
790
* Fix MemoryError during large fetches over HTTP by limiting the amount of
791
data we try to read per ``recv`` call. The problem was observed with
792
Windows and a proxy, but might affect other environments as well.
793
(Eric Holmberg, #215426)
794
795
* Handle old merge directives correctly in Merger.from_mergeable. Stricter
796
get_parent_map requirements exposed a latent bug here. (Aaron Bentley)
797
798
* Issue a warning and ignore passwords declared in authentication.conf when
799
used for an ssh scheme (sftp or bzr+ssh).
800
(Vincent Ladeuil, #203186)
801
802
* Make both http implementations raise appropriate exceptions on 403
803
Forbidden when POSTing smart requests.
804
(Vincent Ladeuil, #230223)
805
806
* Properly *title* header names in http requests instead of capitalizing
807
them.
808
(Vincent Ladeuil, #229076)
809
810
* The "Unable to obtain lock" error message now also suggests using
811
``bzr break-lock`` to fix it. (Martin Albisetti, #139202)
812
813
* Treat an encoding of '' as ascii; this can happen when bzr is run
814
under vim on Mac OS X.
815
(Neil Martinsen-Burrell)
816
817
* ``VersionedFile.make_mpdiffs()`` was raising an exception that wasn't in
818
scope. (Daniel Fischer #235687)
819
820
DOCUMENTATION:
821
822
* Added directory structure and started translation of docs in spanish.
823
(Martin Albisetti, Lucio Albenga)
824
825
* Incorporate feedback from Jelmer Vernooij and Neil Martinsen-Burrell
826
on the plugin and integration chapters of the User Guide.
827
(Ian Clatworthy)
828
829
* More Bazaar developer documentation about packaging and release process,
830
and about use of Python reprs.
831
(Martin Pool, Martin Albisetti)
832
833
* Updated Tortise strategy document. (Mark Hammond)
834
835
TESTING:
836
837
* ``bzrlib.tests.adapt_tests`` was broken and unused - it has been fixed.
838
(Robert Collins)
839
840
* Fix the test HTTPServer to be isolated from chdir calls made while it is
841
running, allowing it to be used in blackbox tests. (Robert Collins)
842
843
* New helper function for splitting test suites
844
``split_suite_by_condition``. (Robert Collins)
845
846
INTERNALS:
847
848
* ``Branch.missing_revisions`` has been deprecated. Similar functionality
849
can be obtained using ``bzrlib.missing.find_unmerged``. The api was
850
fairly broken, and the function was unused, so we are getting rid of it.
851
(John Arbash Meinel)
852
853
API CHANGES:
854
855
* ``Branch.abspath`` is deprecated; use the Tree or Transport
856
instead. (Martin Pool)
857
858
* ``Branch.update_revisions`` now takes an optional ``Graph``
859
object. This can be used by ``update_revisions`` when it is
860
checking ancestry, and allows callers to prefer request to go to a
861
local branch. (John Arbash Meinel)
862
863
* Branch, Repository, Tree and BzrDir should expose a Transport as an
864
attribute if they have one, rather than having it indirectly accessible
865
as ``.control_files._transport``. This doesn't add a requirement
866
to support a Transport in cases where it was not needed before;
867
it just simplifies the way it is reached. (Martin Pool)
868
869
* ``bzr missing --mine-only`` will return status code 0 if you have no
870
new revisions, but the remote does. Similarly for ``--theirs-only``.
871
The new code only checks one side, so it doesn't know if the other
872
side has changes. This seems more accurate with the request anyway.
873
It also changes the output to print '[This|Other] branch is up to
874
date.' rather than displaying nothing. (John Arbash Meinel)
875
876
* ``LockableFiles.put_utf8``, ``put_bytes`` and ``controlfilename``
877
are now deprecated in favor of using Transport operations.
878
(Martin Pool)
879
880
* Many methods on ``VersionedFile``, ``Repository`` and in
881
``bzrlib.revision`` deprecated before bzrlib 1.5 have been removed.
882
(Robert Collins)
883
884
* ``RevisionSpec.wants_revision_history`` can be set to False for a given
885
``RevisionSpec``. This will disable the existing behavior of passing in
886
the full revision history to ``self._match_on``. Useful for specs that
887
don't actually need access to the full history. (John Arbash Meinel)
888
889
* The constructors of ``SmartClientMedium`` and its subclasses now require a
890
``base`` parameter. ``SmartClientMedium`` implementations now also need
891
to provide a ``remote_path_from_transport`` method. (Andrew Bennetts)
892
893
* The default permissions for creating new files and directories
894
should now be obtained from ``BzrDir._get_file_mode()`` and
895
``_get_dir_mode()``, rather than from LockableFiles. The ``_set_file_mode``
896
and ``_set_dir_mode`` variables on LockableFiles which were advertised
897
as a way for plugins to control this are no longer consulted.
898
(Martin Pool)
899
900
* ``VersionedFile.join`` is deprecated. This method required local
901
instances of both versioned file objects and was thus hostile to being
902
used for streaming from a smart server. The new get_record_stream and
903
insert_record_stream are meant to efficiently replace this method.
904
(Robert Collins)
905
906
* ``WorkingTree.set_parent_(ids/trees)`` will now filter out revisions
907
which are in the ancestry of other revisions. So if you merge the same
908
tree twice, or merge an ancestor of an existing merge, it will only
909
record the newest. (If you merge a descendent, it will replace its
910
ancestor). (John Arbash Meinel, #235407)
911
912
* ``WorkingTreeFormat2.stub_initialize_remote`` is now private.
913

bzr 1.5 2008-05-16
917
------------------
918
919
This release of Bazaar includes several updates to the documentation, and fixes
920
to prepare for making rich root support the default format. Many bugs have been
921
squashed, including fixes to log, bzr+ssh inter-operation with older servers.

925
* Suppress deprecation warnings when bzrlib is a 'final' release. This way
926
users of packaged software won't be bothered with DeprecationWarnings,
927
but developers and testers will still see them. (John Arbash Meinel)
928
929
DOCUMENTATION:
930
931
* Incorporate feedback from Jelmer Vernooij and Neil Martinsen-Burrell
932
on the plugin and integration chapters of the User Guide.

NOTES WHEN UPGRADING:
940
941
CHANGES:
942
943
* Broader support of GNU Emacs mail clients. Set
944
``mail_client=emacsclient`` in your bazaar.conf and ``send`` will pop the
945
bundle in a mail buffer according to the value of ``mail-user-agent``
946
variable. (Xavier Maillard)
947
948
FEATURES:
949
950
IMPROVEMENTS:
951
952
* Diff now handles revision specs like "branch:" and "submit:" more
953
efficiently. (Aaron Bentley, #202928)
954
955
* More friendly error given when attempt to start the smart server
956
on an address already in use. (Andrea Corbellini, #200575)
957
958
* Pull completes much faster when there is nothing to pull.
959
(Aaron Bentley)
960
961
BUGFIXES:
962
963
* Authentication.conf can define sections without password.
964
(Vincent Ladeuil, #199440)
965
966
* Avoid muttering every time a child update does not cause a progress bar
967
update. (John Arbash Meinel, #213771)
968
969
* ``Branch.reconcile()`` is now implemented. This allows ``bzr reconcile``
970
to fix when a Branch has a non-canonical mainline history. ``bzr check``
971
also detects this condition. (John Arbash Meinel, #177855)
972
973
* ``bzr log -r ..X bzr://`` was failing, because it was getting a request
974
for ``revision_id=None`` which was not a string.
975
(John Arbash Meinel, #211661)
976
977
* ``bzr commit`` now works with Microsoft's FTP service.
978
(Andreas Deininger)
979
980
* Catch definitions outside sections in authentication.conf.
981
(Vincent Ladeuil, #217650)
982
983
* Conversion from non-rich-root to rich-root(-pack) updates inventory
984
sha1s, even when bundles are used. (Aaron Bentley, #181391)
985
986
* Conversion from non-rich-root to rich-root(-pack) works correctly even
987
though search keys are not topologically sorted. (Aaron Bentley)
988
989
* Conversion from non-rich-root to rich-root(-pack) works even when a
990
parent revision has a different root id. (Aaron Bentley, #177874)
991
992
* Disable strace testing until strace is fixed (see bug #103133) and emit a
993
warning when selftest ends to remind us of leaking tests.
994
(Vincent Ladeuil, #226769)
995
996
* Fetching all revisions from a repository does not cause pack collisions.
997
(Robert Collins, Aaron Bentley, #212908)
998
999
* Fix error about "attempt to add line-delta in non-delta knit".
1000
(Andrew Bennetts, #217701)
1001
1002
* Pushing a branch in "dirstate" format (Branch5) over bzr+ssh would break
1003
if the remote server was < version 1.2. This was due to a bug in the
1004
RemoteRepository.get_parent_map() fallback code.
1005
(John Arbash Meinel, #214894)
1006
1007
* Remove leftover code in ``bzr_branch`` that inappropriately creates
1008
a ``branch-name`` file in the branch control directory.
1009
(Martin Pool)
1010
1011
* Set SO_REUSEADDR on server sockets of ``bzr serve`` to avoid problems
1012
rebinding the socket when starting the server a second time.
1013
(John Arbash Meinel, Martin Pool, #164288)
1014
1015
* Severe performance degradation in fetching from knit repositories to
1016
knits and packs due to parsing the entire revisions.kndx on every graph
1017
walk iteration fixed by using the Repository.get_graph API. There was
1018
another regression in knit => knit fetching which re-read the index for
1019
every revision each side had in common.
1020
(Robert Collins, John Arbash Meinel)
1021
1022
* When logging the changes to a particular file, there was a bug if there
1023
were ghosts in the revision ancestry. (John Arbash Meinel, #209948)
1024
1025
* xs4all's ftp server returns a temporary error when trying to list an
1026
empty directory, rather than returning an empty list. Adding a
1027
workaround so that we don't get spurious failures.
1028
(John Arbash Meinel, #215522)
1029
1030
DOCUMENTATION:
1031
1032
* Expanded the User Guide to include new chapters on popular plugins and
1033
integrating Bazaar into your environment. The *Best practices* chapter
1034
was renamed to *Miscellaneous topics* as suggested by community
1035
feedback as well. (Ian Clatworthy)
1036
1037
* Document outlining strategies for TortoiseBzr. (Mark Hammond)
1038
1039
* Improved the documentation on hooks. (Ian Clatworthy)
1040
1041
* Update authentication docs regarding ssh agents.
1042
(Vincent Ladeuil, #183705)
1043
1044
TESTING:
1045
1046
* Add ``thread_name_suffix`` parameter to SmartTCPServer_for_testing, to
1047
make it easy to identify which test spawned a thread with an unhandled
1048
exception. (Andrew Bennetts)
1049
1050
* New ``--debugflag``/``-E`` option to ``bzr selftest`` for setting
1051
options for debugging tests, these are complementary to the the -D
1052
options. The ``-Dselftest_debug`` global option has been replaced by the
1053
``-E=allow_debug`` option for selftest. (Andrew Bennetts)
1054
1055
* Parameterised test ids are preserved correctly to aid diagnosis of test
1056
failures. (Robert Collins, Andrew Bennetts)
1057
1058
* selftest now accepts --starting-with <id> to load only the tests whose id
1059
starts with the one specified. This greatly speeds up running the test
1060
suite on a limited set of tests and can be used to run the tests for a
1061
single module, a single class or even a single test. (Vincent Ladeuil)
1062
1063
* The test suite modules have been modified to define load_tests() instead
1064
of test_suite(). That speeds up selective loading (via --load-list)
1065
significantly and provides many examples on how to migrate (grep for
1066
load_tests). (Vincent Ladeuil)
1067
1068
INTERNALS:
1069
1070
* ``Hooks.install_hook`` is now deprecated in favour of
1071
``Hooks.install_named_hook`` which adds a required ``name`` parameter, to
1072
avoid having to call ``Hooks.name_hook``. (Daniel Watkins)
1073
1074
* Implement xml8 serializer. (Aaron Bentley)
1075
1076
* New form ``@deprecated_method(deprecated_in(1, 5, 0))`` for making
1077
deprecation wrappers. (Martin Pool)
1078
1079
* ``Repository.revision_parents`` is now deprecated in favour of
1080
``Repository.get_parent_map([revid])[revid]``. (Jelmer Vernooij)
1081
1082
* The Python ``assert`` statement is no longer used in Bazaar source, and
1083
a test checks this. (Martin Pool)
1084
1085
API CHANGES:
1086
1087
* ``bzrlib.status.show_pending_merges`` requires the repository to be
1088
locked by the caller. Callers should have been doing it anyway, but it
1089
will now raise an exception if they do not. (John Arbash Meinel)
1090
1091
* Repository.get_data_stream, Repository.get_data_stream_for_search(),
1092
Repository.get_deltas_for_revsions(), Repository.revision_trees(),
1093
Repository.item_keys_introduced_by() no longer take read locks.
1094
(Aaron Bentley)
1095
1096
* ``LockableFiles.get_utf8`` and ``.get`` are deprecated, as a start
1097
towards removing LockableFiles and ``.control_files`` entirely.
1098
(Martin Pool)
1099
1100
* Methods deprecated prior to 1.1 have been removed.

bzr 1.4 2008-04-28
1105
------------------
1106
1107
This release of Bazaar includes handy improvements to the speed of log and
1108
status, new options for several commands, improved documentation, and better
1109
hooks, including initial code for server-side hooks. A number of bugs have
1110
been fixed, particularly in interoperability between different formats or
1111
different releases of Bazaar over there network. There's been substantial
1112
internal work in both the repository and network code to enable new features
1113
and faster performance.
1114
1115
BUG FIXES:
1116
1117
* Pushing a branch in "dirstate" format (Branch5) over bzr+ssh would break
1118
if the remote server was < version 1.2. This was due to a bug in the
1119
RemoteRepository.get_parent_map() fallback code.

---------------------
1125
1126
BUG FIXES:
1127
1128
* ``bzr log -r ..X bzr://`` was failing, because it was getting a request
1129
for ``revision_id=None`` which was not a string.
1130
(John Arbash Meinel, #211661)
1131
1132
* Fixed a bug in handling ghost revisions when logging changes in a
1133
particular file. (John Arbash Meinel, #209948)
1134
1135
* Fix error about "attempt to add line-delta in non-delta knit".
1136
(Andrew Bennetts, #205156)
1137
1138
* Fixed performance degradation in fetching from knit repositories to
1139
knits and packs due to parsing the entire revisions.kndx on every graph
1140
walk iteration fixed by using the Repository.get_graph API. There was
1141
another regression in knit => knit fetching which re-read the index for

1147
---------------------
1148
1149
CHANGES:
1150
1151
* bzr main script cannot be imported (Benjamin Peterson)
1152
1153
* On Linux bzr additionally looks for plugins in arch-independent site
1154
directory. (Toshio Kuratomi)
1155
1156
* The ``set_rh`` branch hook is now deprecated. Please migrate
1157
any plugins using this hook to use an alternative, e.g.
1158
``post_change_branch_tip``. (Ian Clatworthy)
1159
1160
* When a plugin cannot be loaded as the file path is not a valid
1161
python module name bzr will now strip a ``bzr_`` prefix from the
1162
front of the suggested name, as many plugins (e.g. bzr-svn)
1163
want to be installed without this prefix. It is a common mistake
1164
to have a folder named "bzr-svn" for that plugin, especially
1165
as this is what bzr branch lp:bzr-svn will give you. (James Westby,
1166
Andrew Cowie)
1167
1168
* UniqueIntegerBugTracker now appends bug-ids instead of joining
1169
them to the base URL. Plugins that register bug trackers may
1170
need a trailing / added to the base URL if one is not already there.
1171
(James Wesby, Andrew Cowie)
1172
1173
FEATURES:
1174
1175
* Added start_commit hook for mutable trees. (Jelmer Vernooij, #186422)
1176
1177
* ``status`` now accepts ``--no-pending`` to show the status without
1178
listing pending merges, which speeds up the command a lot on large
1179
histories. (James Westby, #202830)
1180
1181
* New ``post_change_branch_tip`` hook that is called after the
1182
branch tip is moved but while the branch is still write-locked.
1183
See the User Reference for signature details.
1184
(Ian Clatworthy, James Henstridge)
1185
1186
* Reconfigure can convert a branch to be standalone or to use a shared
1187
repository. (Aaron Bentley)
1188
1189
IMPROVEMENTS:
1190
1191
* The smart protocol now has support for setting branches' revision info
1192
directly. This should make operations like push slightly faster, and is a
1193
step towards server-side hooks. The new request method name is
1194
``Branch.set_last_revision_info``. (Andrew Bennetts)
1195
1196
* ``bzr commit --fixes`` now recognises "gnome" as a tag by default.
1197
(James Westby, Andrew Cowie)
1198
1199
* ``bzr switch`` will attempt to find branches to switch to relative to the
1200
current branch. E.g. ``bzr switch branchname`` will look for
1201
``current_branch/../branchname``. (Robert Collins, Jelmer Vernooij,
1202
Wouter van Heyst)
1203
1204
* Diff is now more specific about execute-bit changes it describes
1205
(Chad Miller)
1206
1207
* Fetching data over HTTP is a bit faster when urllib is used. This is done
1208
by forcing it to recv 64k at a time when reading lines in HTTP headers,
1209
rather than just 1 byte at a time. (Andrew Bennetts)
1210
1211
* Log --short and --line are much faster when -r is not specified.
1212
(Aaron Bentley)
1213
1214
* Merge is faster. We no longer check a file's existence unnecessarily
1215
when merging the execute bit. (Aaron Bentley)
1216
1217
* ``bzr status`` on an explicit list of files no longer shows pending
1218
merges, making it much faster on large trees. (John Arbash Meinel)
1219
1220
* The launchpad directory service now warns the user if they have not set
1221
their launchpad login and are trying to resolve a URL using it, just
1222
in case they want to do a write operation with it. (James Westby)
1223
1224
* The smart protocol client is slightly faster, because it now only queries
1225
the server for the protocol version once per connection. Also, the HTTP
1226
transport will now automatically probe for and use a smart server if
1227
one is present. You can use the new ``nosmart+`` transport decorator
1228
to get the old behaviour. (Andrew Bennetts)
1229
1230
* The ``version`` command takes a ``--short`` option to print just the
1231
version number, for easier use in scripts. (Martin Pool)
1232
1233
* Various operations with revision specs and commands that calculate
1234
revnos and revision ids are faster. (John A. Meinel, Aaron Bentley)
1235
1236
BUGFIXES:
1237
1238
* Add ``root_client_path`` parameter to SmartWSGIApp and
1239
SmartServerRequest. This makes it possible to publish filesystem
1240
locations that don't exactly match URL paths. SmartServerRequest
1241
subclasses should use the new ``translate_client_path`` and
1242
``transport_from_client_path`` methods when dealing with paths received
1243
from a client to take this into account. (Andrew Bennetts, #124089)
1244
1245
* ``bzr mv a b`` can be now used also to rename previously renamed
1246
directories, not only files. (Lukáš Lalinský, #107967)
1247
1248
* ``bzr uncommit --local`` can now remove revisions from the local
1249
branch to be symmetric with ``bzr commit --local``.
1250
(John Arbash Meinel, #93412)
1251
1252
* Don't ask for a password if there is no real terminal.
1253
(Alexander Belchenko, #69851)
1254
1255
* Fix a bug causing a ValueError crash in ``parse_line_delta_iter`` when
1256
fetching revisions from a knit to pack repository or vice versa using
1257
bzr:// (including over http or ssh).
1258
(#208418, Andrew Bennetts, Martin Pool, Robert Collins)
1259
1260
* Fixed ``_get_line`` in ``bzrlib.smart.medium``, which was buggy. Also
1261
fixed ``_get_bytes`` in the same module to use the push back buffer.
1262
These bugs had no known impact in normal use, but were problematic for
1263
developers working on the code, and were likely to cause real bugs sooner
1264
or later. (Andrew Bennetts)
1265
1266
* Implement handling of basename parameter for DefaultMail. (James Westby)
1267
1268
* Incompatibility with Paramiko versions newer than 1.7.2 was fixed.
1269
(Andrew Bennetts, #213425)
1270
1271
* Launchpad locations (lp: URLs) can be pulled. (Aaron Bentley, #181945)
1272
1273
* Merges that add files to deleted root directories complete. They
1274
do create conflicts. (Aaron Bentley, #210092)
1275
1276
* vsftp's return ``550 RNFR command failed.`` supported.
1277
(Marcus Trautwig, #129786)
1278
1279
DOCUMENTATION:
1280
1281
* Improved documentation on send/merge relationship. (Peter Schuller)
1282
1283
* Minor fixes to the User Guide. (Matthew Fuller)
1284
1285
* Reduced the evangelism in the User Guide. (Ian Clatworthy)
1286
1287
* Added Integrating with Bazaar document for developers (Martin Albisetti)
1288
1289
API BREAKS:
1290
1291
* Attempting to pull data from a ghost aware repository (e.g. knits) into a
1292
non-ghost aware repository such as weaves will now fail if there are
1293
ghosts. (Robert Collins)
1294
1295
* ``KnitVersionedFile`` no longer accepts an ``access_mode`` parameter, and
1296
now requires the ``index`` and ``access_method`` parameters to be
1297
supplied. A compatible shim has been kept in the new function
1298
``knit.make_file_knit``. (Robert Collins)
1299
1300
* Log formatters must now provide log_revision instead of show and
1301
show_merge_revno methods. The latter had been deprecated since the 0.17
1302
release. (James Westby)
1303
1304
* ``LoopbackSFTP`` is now called ``SocketAsChannelAdapter``.
1305
(Andrew Bennetts)
1306
1307
* ``osutils.backup_file`` is removed. (Alexander Belchenko)
1308
1309
* ``Repository.get_revision_graph`` is deprecated, with no replacement
1310
method. The method was size(history) and not desirable. (Robert Collins)
1311
1312
* ``revision.revision_graph`` is deprecated, with no replacement function.
1313
The function was size(history) and not desirable. (Robert Collins)
1314
1315
* ``Transport.get_shared_medium`` is deprecated. Use
1316
``Transport.get_smart_medium`` instead. (Andrew Bennetts)
1317
1318
* ``VersionedFile`` factories now accept a get_scope parameter rather
1319
than using a call to ``transaction_finished``, allowing the removal of
1320
the fixed list of versioned files per repository. (Robert Collins)
1321
1322
* ``VersionedFile.annotate_iter`` is deprecated. While in principle this
1323
allowed lower memory use, all users of annotations wanted full file
1324
annotations, and there is no storage format suitable for incremental
1325
line-by-line annotation. (Robert Collins)
1326
1327
* ``VersionedFile.clone_text`` is deprecated. This performance optimisation
1328
is no longer used - reading the content of a file that is undergoing a
1329
file level merge to identical state on two branches is rare enough, and
1330
not expensive enough to special case. (Robert Collins)
1331
1332
* ``VersionedFile.clear_cache`` and ``enable_cache`` are deprecated.
1333
These methods added significant complexity to the ``VersionedFile``
1334
implementation, but were only used for optimising fetches from knits -
1335
which can be done from outside the knit layer, or via a caching
1336
decorator. As knits are not the default format, the complexity is no
1337
longer worth paying. (Robert Collins)
1338
1339
* ``VersionedFile.create_empty`` is removed. This method presupposed a
1340
sensible mapping to a transport for individual files, but pack backed
1341
versioned files have no such mapping. (Robert Collins)
1342
1343
* ``VersionedFile.get_graph`` is deprecated, with no replacement method.
1344
The method was size(history) and not desirable. (Robert Collins)
1345
1346
* ``VersionedFile.get_graph_with_ghosts`` is deprecated, with no
1347
replacement method. The method was size(history) and not desirable.
1348
(Robert Collins)
1349
1350
* ``VersionedFile.get_parents`` is deprecated, please use
1351
``VersionedFile.get_parent_map``. (Robert Collins)
1352
1353
* ``VersionedFile.get_sha1`` is deprecated, please use
1354
``VersionedFile.get_sha1s``. (Robert Collins)
1355
1356
* ``VersionedFile.has_ghost`` is now deprecated, as it is both expensive
1357
and unused outside of a single test. (Robert Collins)
1358
1359
* ``VersionedFile.iter_parents`` is now deprecated in favour of
1360
``get_parent_map`` which can be used to instantiate a Graph on a
1361
VersionedFile. (Robert Collins)
1362
1363
* ``VersionedFileStore`` no longer uses the transaction parameter given
1364
to most methods; amongst other things this means that the
1365
get_weave_or_empty method no longer guarantees errors on a missing weave
1366
in a readonly transaction, and no longer caches versioned file instances
1367
which reduces memory pressure (but requires more careful management by
1368
callers to preserve performance). (Robert Collins)
1369
1370
TESTING:
1371
1372
* New -Dselftest_debug flag disables clearing of the debug flags during
1373
tests. This is useful if you want to use e.g. -Dhpss to help debug a
1374
failing test. Be aware that using this feature is likely to cause
1375
spurious test failures if used with the full suite. (Andrew Bennetts)
1376
1377
* selftest --load-list now uses a new more agressive test loader that will
1378
avoid loading unneeded modules and building their tests. Plugins can use
1379
this new loader by defining a load_tests function instead of a test_suite
1380
function. (a forthcoming patch will provide many examples on how to
1381
implement this).
1382
(Vincent Ladeuil)
1383
1384
* selftest --load-list now does some sanity checks regarding duplicate test
1385
IDs and tests present in the list but not found in the actual test suite.
1386
(Vincent Ladeuil)
1387
1388
* Slightly more concise format for the selftest progress bar, so there's
1389
more space to show the test name. (Martin Pool) ::
1390
1391
[2500/10884, 1fail, 3miss in 1m29s] test_revisionnamespaces.TestRev
1392
1393
* The test suite takes much less memory to run, and is a bit faster. This
1394
is done by clearing most attributes of TestCases after running them, if
1395
they succeeded. (Andrew Bennetts)
1396
1397
INTERNALS:
1398
1399
* Added ``_build_client_protocol`` to ``_SmartClient``. (Andrew Bennetts)
1400
1401
* Added basic infrastructure for automatic plugin suggestion.
1402
(Martin Albisetti)
1403
1404
* If a ``LockableFiles`` object is not explicitly unlocked (for example
1405
because of a missing ``try/finally`` block, it will give a warning but
1406
not automatically unlock itself. (Previously they did.) This
1407
sometimes caused knock-on errors if for example the network connection
1408
had already failed, and should not be relied upon by code.
1409
(Martin Pool, #109520)
1410
1411
* ``make dist`` target to build a release tarball, and also
1412
``check-dist-tarball`` and ``dist-upload-escudero``. (Martin Pool)
1413
1414
* The ``read_response_tuple`` method of ``SmartClientRequestProtocol*``
1415
classes will now raise ``UnknownSmartMethod`` when appropriate, so that
1416
callers don't need to try distinguish unknown request errors from other
1417
errors. (Andrew Bennetts)
1418
1419
* ``set_make_working_trees`` is now implemented provided on all repository
1420
implementations (Aaron Bentley)
1421
1422
* ``VersionedFile`` now has a new method ``get_parent_map`` which, like
1423
``Graph.get_parent_map`` returns a dict of key:parents. (Robert Collins)

1435
BUG FIXES:
1436
1437
* Fix a bug causing a ValueError crash in ``parse_line_delta_iter`` when
1438
fetching revisions from a knit to pack repository or vice versa using
1439
bzr:// (including over http or ssh).

bzr 1.3 2008-03-20
1444
------------------
1445
1446
Bazaar has become part of the GNU project <http://www.gnu.org>
1447
1448
Many operations that act on history, including ``log`` and ``annotate`` are now
1449
substantially faster. Several bugs have been fixed and several new options and
1450
features have been added.
1451
1452
TESTING:
1453
1454
* Avoid spurious failure of ``TestVersion.test_version`` matching
1455
directory names.

---------------------
1461
1462
NOTES WHEN UPGRADING:
1463
1464
* The backup directory created by ``upgrade`` is now called
1465
``backup.bzr``, not ``.bzr.backup``. (Martin Albisetti)
1466
1467
CHANGES:
1468
1469
* A new repository format 'development' has been added. This format will
1470
represent the latest 'in-progress' format that the bzr developers are
1471
interested in getting early-adopter testing and feedback on.
1472
``doc/developers/development-repo.txt`` has detailed information.
1473
(Robert Collins)
1474
1475
* BZR_LOG environment variable controls location of .bzr.log trace file.
1476
User can suppress writing messages to .bzr.log by using '/dev/null'
1477
filename (on Linux) or 'NUL' (on Windows). If BZR_LOG variable
1478
is not defined but BZR_HOME is defined then default location
1479
for .bzr.log trace file is ``$BZR_HOME/.bzr.log``.
1480
(Alexander Belchenko)
1481
1482
* ``launchpad`` builtin plugin now shipped as separate part in standalone
1483
bzr.exe, installed to ``C:\Program Files\Bazaar\plugins`` directory,
1484
and standalone installer allows user to skip installation of this plugin.
1485
(Alexander Belchenko)
1486
1487
* Restore auto-detection of plink.exe on Windows. (Dmitry Vasiliev)
1488
1489
* Version number is now shown as "1.2" or "1.2pr2", without zeroed or
1490
missing final fields. (Martin Pool)
1491
1492
FEATURES:
1493
1494
* ``branch`` and ``checkout`` can hard-link working tree files, which is
1495
faster and saves space. (Aaron Bentley)
1496
1497
* ``bzr send`` will now also look at the ``child_submit_to`` setting in
1498
the submit branch to determine the email address to send to.
1499
(Jelmer Vernooij)
1500
1501
IMPROVEMENTS:
1502
1503
* BzrBranch._lefthand_history is faster on pack repos. (Aaron Bentley)
1504
1505
* Branch6.generate_revision_history is faster. (Aaron Bentley)
1506
1507
* Directory services can now be registered, allowing special URLs to be
1508
dereferenced into real URLs. This is a generalization and cleanup of
1509
the lp: transport lookup. (Aaron Bentley)
1510
1511
* Merge directives that are automatically attached to emails have nicer
1512
filenames, based on branch-nick + revno. (Aaron Bentley)
1513
1514
* ``push`` has a ``--revision`` option, to specify what revision to push up
1515
to. (Daniel Watkins)
1516
1517
* Significantly reducing execution time and network traffic for trivial
1518
case of running ``bzr missing`` command for two identical branches.
1519
(Alexander Belchenko)
1520
1521
* Speed up operations that look at the revision graph (such as 'bzr log').
1522
``KnitPackRepositor.get_revision_graph`` uses ``Graph.iter_ancestry`` to
1523
extract the revision history. This allows filtering ghosts while
1524
stepping instead of needing to peek ahead. (John Arbash Meinel)
1525
1526
* The ``hooks`` command lists installed hooks, to assist in debugging.
1527
(Daniel Watkins)
1528
1529
* Updates to how ``annotate`` work. Should see a measurable improvement in
1530
performance and memory consumption for file with a lot of merges.
1531
Also, correctly handle when a line is introduced by both parents (it
1532
should be attributed to the first merge which notices this, and not
1533
to all subsequent merges.) (John Arbash Meinel)
1534
1535
BUGFIXES:
1536
1537
* Autopacking no longer holds the full set of inventory lines in
1538
memory while copying. For large repositories, this can amount to
1539
hundreds of MB of ram consumption.
1540
(Ian Clatworthy, John Arbash Meinel)
1541
1542
* Cherrypicking when using ``--format=merge3`` now explictly excludes
1543
BASE lines. (John Arbash Meinel, #151731)
1544
1545
* Disable plink's interactive prompt for password.
1546
(#107593, Dmitry Vasiliev)
1547
1548
* Encode command line arguments from unicode to user_encoding before
1549
invoking external mail client in `bzr send` command.
1550
(#139318, Alexander Belchenko)
1551
1552
* Fixed problem connecting to ``bzr+https://`` servers.
1553
(#198793, John Ferlito)
1554
1555
* Improved error reporting in the Launchpad plugin. (Daniel Watkins,
1556
#196618)
1557
1558
* Include quick-start-summary.svg file to python-based installer(s)
1559
for Windows. (#192924, Alexander Belchenko)
1560
1561
* lca merge now respects specified files. (Aaron Bentley)
1562
1563
* Make version-info --custom imply --all. (#195560, James Westby)
1564
1565
* ``merge --preview`` now works for merges that add or modify
1566
symlinks (James Henstridge)
1567
1568
* Redirecting the output from ``bzr merge`` (when the remembered
1569
location is used) now works. (John Arbash Meinel)
1570
1571
* setup.py script explicitly checks for Python version.
1572
(Jari Aalto, Alexander Belchenko, #200569)
1573
1574
* UnknownFormatErrors no longer refer to branches regardless of kind of
1575
unknown format. (Daniel Watkins, #173980)
1576
1577
* Upgrade bundled ConfigObj to version 4.5.2, which properly quotes #
1578
signs, among other small improvements. (Matt Nordhoff, #86838)
1579
1580
* Use correct indices when emitting LCA conflicts. This fixes IndexError
1581
errors. (Aaron Bentley, #196780)
1582
1583
DOCUMENTATION:
1584
1585
* Explained how to use ``version-info --custom`` in the User Guide.
1586
(Neil Martinsen-Burrell)
1587
1588
API BREAKS:
1589
1590
* Support for loading plugins from zip files and
1591
``bzrlib.plugin.load_from_zip()`` function are deprecated.
1592
(Alexander Belchenko)
1593
1594
TESTING:
1595
1596
* Added missing blackbox tests for ``modified`` (Adrian Wilkins)
1597
1598
* The branch interface tests were invalid for branches using rich-root
1599
repositories because the empty string is not a valid file-id.
1600
(Robert Collins)
1601
1602
INTERNALS:
1603
1604
* ``Graph.iter_ancestry`` returns the ancestry of revision ids. Similar to
1605
``Repository.get_revision_graph()`` except it includes ghosts and you can
1606
stop part-way through. (John Arbash Meinel)
1607
1608
* New module ``tools/package_mf.py`` provide custom module finder for
1609
python packages (improves standard python library's modulefinder.py)
1610
used by ``setup.py`` script while building standalone bzr.exe.
1611
(Alexander Belchenko)
1612
1613
* New remote method ``RemoteBzrDir.find_repositoryV2`` adding support for
1614
detecting external lookup support on remote repositories. This method is
1615
now attempted first when lookup up repositories, leading to an extra
1616
round trip on older bzr smart servers. (Robert Collins)
1617
1618
* Repository formats have a new supported-feature attribute
1619
``supports_external_lookups`` used to indicate repositories which support
1620
falling back to other repositories when they have partial data.
1621
(Robert Collins)
1622
1623
* ``Repository.get_revision_graph_with_ghosts`` and
1624
``bzrlib.revision.(common_ancestor,MultipleRevisionSources,common_graph)``
1625
have been deprecated. (John Arbash Meinel)
1626
1627
* ``Tree.iter_changes`` is now a public API, replacing the work-in-progress
1628
``Tree._iter_changes``. The api is now considered stable and ready for
1629
external users. (Aaron Bentley)
1630
1631
* The bzrdir format registry now accepts an ``alias`` keyword to
1632
register_metadir, used to indicate that a format name is an alias for
1633
some other format and thus should not be reported when describing the
1634
format. (Robert Collins)

1648
NOTES WHEN UPGRADING:
1649
1650
* Fetching via the smart protocol may need to reconnect once during a fetch
1651
if the remote server is running Bazaar 1.1 or earlier, because the client
1652
attempts to use more efficient requests that confuse older servers. You
1653
may be required to re-enter a password or passphrase when this happens.
1654
This won't happen if the server is upgraded to Bazaar 1.2.
1655
(Andrew Bennetts)
1656
1657
CHANGES:
1658
1659
* Fetching via bzr+ssh will no longer fill ghosts by default (this is
1660
consistent with pack-0.92 fetching over SFTP). (Robert Collins)
1661
1662
* Formatting of ``bzr plugins`` output is changed to be more human-
1663
friendly. Full path of plugins locations will be shown only with
1664
``--verbose`` command-line option. (Alexander Belchenko)
1665
1666
* ``merge`` now prefers to use the submit branch, but will fall back to
1667
parent branch. For many users, this has no effect. But some users who
1668
pull and merge on the same branch will notice a change. This change
1669
makes it easier to work on a branch on two different machines, pulling
1670
between the machines, while merging from the upstream.
1671
``merge --remember`` can now be used to set the submit_branch.
1672
(Aaron Bentley)
1673
1674
FEATURES:
1675
1676
* ``merge --preview`` produces a diff of the changes merge would make,
1677
but does not actually perform the merge. (Aaron Bentley)
1678
1679
* New smart method ``Repository.get_parent_map`` for getting revision
1680
parent data. This returns additional parent information topologically
1681
adjacent to the requested data to reduce round trip latency impacts.
1682
(Robert Collins)
1683
1684
* New smart method, ``Repository.stream_revisions_chunked``, for fetching
1685
revision data that streams revision data via a chunked encoding. This
1686
avoids buffering large amounts of revision data on the server and on the
1687
client, and sends less data to the server to request the revisions.
1688
(Andrew Bennetts, Robert Collins, #178353)
1689
1690
* The launchpad plugin now handles lp urls of the form
1691
``lp://staging/``, ``lp://demo/``, ``lp://dev/`` to use the appropriate
1692
launchpad instance to do the resolution of the branch identities.
1693
This is primarily of use to Launchpad developers, but can also
1694
be used by other users who want to try out Launchpad as
1695
a branch location without messing up their public Launchpad
1696
account. Branches that are pushed to the staging environment
1697
have an expected lifetime of one day. (Tim Penhey)
1698
1699
IMPROVEMENTS:
1700
1701
* Creating a new branch no longer tries to read the entire revision-history
1702
unnecessarily over smart server operations. (Robert Collins)
1703
1704
* Fetching between different repository formats with compatible models now
1705
takes advantage of the smart method to stream revisions. (Andrew Bennetts)
1706
1707
* The ``--coverage`` option is now global, rather specific to ``bzr
1708
selftest``. (Andrew Bennetts)
1709
1710
* The ``register-branch`` command will now use the public url of the branch
1711
containing the current directory, if one has been set and no explicit
1712
branch is provided. (Robert Collins)
1713
1714
* Tweak the ``reannotate`` code path to optimize the 2-parent case.
1715
Speeds up ``bzr annotate`` with a pack repository by approx 3:2.
1716
(John Arbash Meinel)
1717
1718
BUGFIXES:
1719
1720
* Calculate remote path relative to the shared medium in _SmartClient. This
1721
is related to the problem in bug #124089. (Andrew Bennetts)
1722
1723
* Cleanly handle connection errors in smart protocol version two, the same
1724
way as they are handled by version one. (Andrew Bennetts)
1725
1726
* Clearer error when ``version-info --custom`` is used without
1727
``--template`` (Lukáš Lalinský)
1728
1729
* Don't raise UnavailableFeature during test setup when medusa is not
1730
available or tearDown is never called leading to nasty side effects.
1731
(#137823, Vincent Ladeuil)
1732
1733
* If a plugin's test suite cannot be loaded, for example because of a syntax
1734
error in the tests, then ``selftest`` fails, rather than just printing
1735
a warning. (Martin Pool, #189771)
1736
1737
* List possible values for BZR_SSH environment variable in env-variables
1738
help topic. (Alexander Belchenko, #181842)
1739
1740
* New methods ``push_log_file`` and ``pop_log_file`` to intercept messages:
1741
popping the log redirection now precisely restores the previous state,
1742
which makes it easier to use bzr log output from other programs.
1743
TestCaseInTempDir no longer depends on a log redirection being established
1744
by the test framework, which lets bzr tests cleanly run from a normal
1745
unittest runner.
1746
(#124153, #124849, Martin Pool, Jonathan Lange)
1747
1748
* ``pull --quiet`` is now more quiet, in particular a message is no longer
1749
printed when the remembered pull location is used. (James Westby,
1750
#185907)
1751
1752
* ``reconfigure`` can safely be interrupted while fetching.
1753
(Aaron Bentley, #179316)
1754
1755
* ``reconfigure`` preserves tags when converting to and from lightweight
1756
checkouts. (Aaron Bentley, #182040)
1757
1758
* Stop polluting /tmp when running selftest.
1759
(Vincent Ladeuil, #123623)
1760
1761
* Switch from NFKC => NFC for normalization checks. NFC allows a few
1762
more characters which should be considered valid.
1763
(John Arbash Meinel, #185458)
1764
1765
* The launchpad plugin now uses the ``edge`` xmlrpc server to avoid
1766
interacting badly with a bug on the launchpad side. (Robert Collins)
1767
1768
* Unknown hostnames when connecting to a ``bzr://`` URL no longer cause
1769
tracebacks. (Andrew Bennetts, #182849)
1770
1771
API BREAKS:
1772
1773
* Classes implementing Merge types like Merge3Merger must now accept (and
1774
honour) a do_merge flag in their constructor. (Aaron Bentley)
1775
1776
* ``Repository.add_inventory`` and ``add_revision`` now require the caller
1777
to previously take a write lock (and start a write group.)
1778
(Martin Pool)
1779
1780
TESTING:
1781
1782
* selftest now accepts --load-list <file> to load a test id list. This
1783
speeds up running the test suite on a limited set of tests.
1784
(Vincent Ladeuil)
1785
1786
INTERNALS:
1787
1788
* Add a new method ``get_result`` to graph search objects. The resulting
1789
``SearchResult`` can be used to recreate the search later, which will
1790
be useful in reducing network traffic. (Robert Collins)
1791
1792
* Use convenience function to check whether two repository handles
1793
are referring to the same repository in ``Repository.get_graph``.
1794
(Jelmer Vernooij, #187162)
1795
1796
* Fetching now passes the find_ghosts flag through to the
1797
``InterRepository.missing_revision_ids`` call consistently for all
1798
repository types. This will enable faster missing revision discovery with
1799
bzr+ssh. (Robert Collins)
1800
1801
* Fix error handling in Repository.insert_data_stream. (Lukas Lalinsky)
1802
1803
* ``InterRepository.missing_revision_ids`` is now deprecated in favour of
1804
``InterRepository.search_missing_revision_ids`` which returns a
1805
``bzrlib.graph.SearchResult`` suitable for making requests from the smart
1806
server. (Robert Collins)
1807
1808
* New error ``NoPublicBranch`` for commands that need a public branch to
1809
operate. (Robert Collins)
1810
1811
* New method ``iter_inventories`` on Repository for access to many
1812
inventories. This is primarily used by the ``revision_trees`` method, as
1813
direct access to inventories is discouraged. (Robert Collins)
1814
1815
* New method ``next_with_ghosts`` on the Graph breadth-first-search objects
1816
which will split out ghosts and present parents into two separate sets,
1817
useful for code which needs to be aware of ghosts (e.g. fetching data
1818
cares about ghosts during revision selection). (Robert Collins)
1819
1820
* Record a timestamp against each mutter to the trace file, relative to the
1821
first import of bzrlib. (Andrew Bennetts)
1822
1823
* ``Repository.get_data_stream`` is now deprecated in favour of
1824
``Repository.get_data_stream_for_search`` which allows less network
1825
traffic when requesting data streams over a smart server. (Robert Collins)
1826
1827
* ``RemoteBzrDir._get_tree_branch`` no longer triggers ``_ensure_real``,
1828
removing one round trip on many network operations. (Robert Collins)
1829
1830
* RemoteTransport's ``recommended_page_size`` method now returns 64k, like
1831
SFTPTransport and HttpTransportBase. (Andrew Bennetts)
1832
1833
* Repository has a new method ``has_revisions`` which signals the presence
1834
of many revisions by returning a set of the revisions listed which are
1835
present. This can be done by index queries without reading data for parent
1836
revision names etc. (Robert Collins)

CHANGES:
1848
1849
* Dotted revision numbers have been revised. Instead of growing longer with
1850
nested branches the branch number just increases. (eg instead of 1.1.1.1.1
1851
we now report 1.2.1.) This helps scale long lived branches which have many
1852
feature branches merged between them. (John Arbash Meinel)
1853
1854
* The syntax ``bzr diff branch1 branch2`` is no longer supported.
1855
Use ``bzr diff branch1 --new branch2`` instead. This change has
1856
been made to remove the ambiguity where ``branch2`` is in fact a
1857
specific file to diff within ``branch1``.
1858
1859
FEATURES:
1860
1861
* New option to use custom template-based formats in ``bzr version-info``.
1862
(Lukáš Lalinský)
1863
1864
* diff '--using' allows an external diff tool to be used for files.
1865
(Aaron Bentley)
1866
1867
* New "lca" merge-type for fast everyday merging that also supports
1868
criss-cross merges. (Aaron Bentley)
1869
1870
IMPROVEMENTS:
1871
1872
* ``annotate`` now doesn't require a working tree. (Lukáš Lalinský,
1873
#90049)
1874
1875
* ``branch`` and ``checkout`` can now use files from a working tree to
1876
to speed up the process. For checkout, this requires the new
1877
--files-from flag. (Aaron Bentley)
1878
1879
* ``bzr diff`` now sorts files in alphabetical order. (Aaron Bentley)
1880
1881
* ``bzr diff`` now works on branches without working trees. Tree-less
1882
branches can also be compared to each other and to working trees using
1883
the new diff options ``--old`` and ``--new``. Diffing between branches,
1884
with or without trees, now supports specific file filtering as well.
1885
(Ian Clatworthy, #6700)
1886
1887
* ``bzr pack`` now orders revision texts in topological order, with newest
1888
at the start of the file, promoting linear reads for ``bzr log`` and the
1889
like. This partially fixes #154129. (Robert Collins)
1890
1891
* Merge directives now fetch prerequisites from the target branch if
1892
needed. (Aaron Bentley)
1893
1894
* pycurl now handles digest authentication.
1895
(Vincent Ladeuil)
1896
1897
* ``reconfigure`` can now convert from repositories. (Aaron Bentley)
1898
1899
* ``-l`` is now a short form for ``--limit`` in ``log``. (Matt Nordhoff)
1900
1901
* ``merge`` now warns when merge directives cause cherrypicks.
1902
(Aaron Bentley)
1903
1904
* ``split`` now supported, to enable splitting large trees into smaller
1905
pieces. (Aaron Bentley)
1906
1907
BUGFIXES:
1908
1909
* Avoid AttributeError when unlocking a pack repository when an error occurs.
1910
(Martin Pool, #180208)
1911
1912
* Better handle short reads when processing multiple range requests.
1913
(Vincent Ladeuil, #179368)
1914
1915
* build_tree acceleration uses the correct path when a file has been moved.
1916
(Aaron Bentley)
1917
1918
* ``commit`` now succeeds when a checkout and its master branch share a
1919
repository. (Aaron Bentley, #177592)
1920
1921
* Fixed error reporting of unsupported timezone format in
1922
``log --timezone``. (Lukáš Lalinský, #178722)
1923
1924
* Fixed Unicode encoding error in ``ignored`` when the output is
1925
redirected to a pipe. (Lukáš Lalinský)
1926
1927
* Fix traceback when sending large response bodies over the smart protocol
1928
on Windows. (Andrew Bennetts, #115781)
1929
1930
* Fix ``urlutils.relative_url`` for the case of two ``file:///`` URLs
1931
pointed to different logical drives on Windows.
1932
(Alexander Belchenko, #90847)
1933
1934
* HTTP test servers are now compatible with the http protocol version 1.1.
1935
(Vincent Ladeuil, #175524)
1936
1937
* _KnitParentsProvider.get_parent_map now handles requests for ghosts
1938
correctly, instead of erroring or attributing incorrect parents to ghosts.
1939
(Aaron Bentley)
1940
1941
* ``merge --weave --uncommitted`` now works. (Aaron Bentley)
1942
1943
* pycurl authentication handling was broken and incomplete. Fix handling of
1944
user:pass embedded in the urls.
1945
(Vincent Ladeuil, #177643)
1946
1947
* Files inside non-directories are now handled like other conflict types.
1948
(Aaron Bentley, #177390)
1949
1950
* ``reconfigure`` is able to convert trees into lightweight checkouts.
1951
(Aaron Bentley)
1952
1953
* Reduce lockdir timeout to 0 when running ``bzr serve``. (Andrew Bennetts,
1954
#148087)
1955
1956
* Test that the old ``version_info_format`` functions still work, even
1957
though they are deprecated. (John Arbash Meinel, ShenMaq, #177872)
1958
1959
* Transform failures no longer cause ImmortalLimbo errors (Aaron Bentley,
1960
#137681)
1961
1962
* ``uncommit`` works even when the commit messages of revisions to be
1963
removed use characters not supported in the terminal encoding.
1964
(Aaron Bentley)
1965
1966
* When dumb http servers return whole files instead of the requested ranges,
1967
read the remaining bytes by chunks to avoid overflowing network buffers.
1968
(Vincent Ladeuil, #175886)
1969
1970
DOCUMENTATION:
1971
1972
* Minor tweaks made to the bug tracker integration documentation.
1973
(Ian Clatworthy)
1974
1975
* Reference material has now be moved out of the User Guide and added
1976
to the User Reference. The User Reference has gained 4 sections as
1977
a result: Authenication Settings, Configuration Settings, Conflicts
1978
and Hooks. All help topics are now dumped into text format in the
1979
doc/en/user-reference directory for those who like browsing that
1980
information in their editor. (Ian Clatworthy)
1981
1982
* *Using Bazaar with Launchpad* tutorial added. (Ian Clatworthy)
1983
1984
INTERNALS:
1985
1986
* find_* methods available for BzrDirs, Branches and WorkingTrees.
1987
(Aaron Bentley)
1988
1989
* Help topics can now be loaded from files.
1990
(Ian Clatworthy, Alexander Belchenko)
1991
1992
* get_parent_map now always provides tuples as its output. (Aaron Bentley)
1993
1994
* Parent Providers should now implement ``get_parent_map`` returning a
1995
dictionary instead of ``get_parents`` returning a list.
1996
``Graph.get_parents`` is now deprecated. (John Arbash Meinel,
1997
Robert Collins)
1998
1999
* Patience Diff now supports arbitrary python objects, as long as they
2000
support ``hash()``. (John Arbash Meinel)
2001
2002
* Reduce selftest overhead to establish test names by memoization.
2003
(Vincent Ladeuil)
2004
2005
API BREAKS:
2006
2007
TESTING:
2008
2009
* Modules can now customise their tests by defining a ``load_tests``
2010
attribute. ``pydoc bzrlib.tests.TestUtil.TestLoader.loadTestsFromModule``
2011
for the documentation on this attribute. (Robert Collins)
2012
2013
* New helper function ``bzrlib.tests.condition_id_re`` which helps
2014
filter tests based on a regular expression search on the tests id.
2015
(Robert Collins)
2016
2017
* New helper function ``bzrlib.tests.condition_isinstance`` which helps
2018
filter tests based on class. (Robert Collins)
2019
2020
* New helper function ``bzrlib.tests.exclude_suite_by_condition`` which
2021
generalises the ``exclude_suite_by_re`` function. (Robert Collins)
2022
2023
* New helper function ``bzrlib.tests.filter_suite_by_condition`` which
2024
generalises the ``filter_suite_by_re`` function. (Robert Collins)
2025
2026
* New helper method ``bzrlib.tests.exclude_tests_by_re`` which gives a new
2027
TestSuite that does not contain tests from the input that matched a
2028
regular expression. (Robert Collins)
2029
2030
* New helper method ``bzrlib.tests.randomize_suite`` which returns a
2031
randomized copy of the input suite. (Robert Collins)
2032
2033
* New helper method ``bzrlib.tests.split_suite_by_re`` which splits a test
2034
suite into two according to a regular expression. (Robert Collins)
2035
2036
* Parametrize all http tests for the transport implementations, the http
2037
protocol versions (1.0 and 1.1) and the authentication schemes.
2038
(Vincent Ladeuil)
2039
2040
* The ``exclude_pattern`` and ``random_order`` parameters to the function
2041
``bzrlib.tests.filter_suite_by_re`` have been deprecated. (Robert Collins)
2042
2043
* The method ``bzrlib.tests.sort_suite_by_re`` has been deprecated. It is
2044
replaced by the new helper methods added in this release. (Robert Collins)

2072
(Martin Pool)

BUGFIXES:
2075
2076
* Fix Makefile rules for doc generation. (Ian Clatworthy, #175207)
2077
2078
* Give more feedback during long http downloads by making readv deliver data
2079
as it arrives for urllib, and issue more requests for pycurl. High latency
2080
networks are better handled by urllib, the pycurl implementation give more
2081
feedback but also incur more latency.
2082
(Vincent Ladeuil, #173010)
2083
2084
* Implement _make_parents_provider on RemoteRepository, allowing generating

2093
2094
INTERNALS:
2095
2096
* readv urllib http implementation is now a real iterator above the

IMPROVEMENTS:
2106
2107
* Added a --coverage option to selftest. (Andrew Bennetts)
2108
2109
* Annotate merge (merge-type=weave) now supports cherrypicking.
2110
(Aaron Bentley)
2111
2112
* ``bzr commit`` now doesn't print the revision number twice. (Matt
2113
Nordhoff, #172612)
2114
2115
* New configuration option ``bugtracker_<tracker_abbrevation>_url`` to
2116
define locations of bug trackers that are not directly supported by
2117
bzr or a plugin. The URL will be treated as a template and ``{id}``
2118
placeholders will be replaced by specific bug IDs. (Lukáš Lalinský)
2119
2120
* Support logging single merge revisions with short and line log formatters.
2121
(Kent Gibson)
2122
2123
* User Guide enhanced with suggested readability improvements from
2124
Matt Revell and corrections from John Arbash Meinel. (Ian Clatworthy)
2125
2126
* Quick Start Guide renamed to Quick Start Card, moved down in
2127
the catalog, provided in pdf and png format and updated to refer
2128
to ``send`` instead of ``bundle``. (Ian Clatworthy, #165080)
2129
2130
* ``switch`` can now be used on heavyweight checkouts as well as
2131
lightweight ones. After switching a heavyweight checkout, the
2132
local branch is a mirror/cache of the new bound branch and
2133
uncommitted changes in the working tree are merged. As a safety
2134
check, if there are local commits in a checkout which have not
2135
been committed to the previously bound branch, then ``switch``
2136
fails unless the ``--force`` option is given. This option is
2137
now also required if the branch a lightweight checkout is pointing
2138
to has been moved. (Ian Clatworthy)
2139
2140
INTERNALS:
2141
2142
* New -Dhttp debug option reports http connections, requests and responses.

2146
2147
BUGFIXES:

* Better error message when running ``bzr cat`` on a non-existant branch.
2150
(Lukáš Lalinský, #133782)
2151
2152
* Catch OSError 17 (file exists) in final phase of tree transform and show
2153
filename to user.
2154
(Alexander Belchenko, #111758)
2155
2156
* Catch ShortReadvErrors while using pycurl. Also make readv more robust by
2157
allowing multiple GET requests to be issued if too many ranges are
2158
required.
2159
(Vincent Ladeuil, #172701)
2160
2161
* Check for missing basis texts when fetching from packs to packs.
2162
(John Arbash Meinel, #165290)
2163
2164
* Fall back to showing e-mail in ``log --short/--line`` if the
2165
committer/author has only e-mail. (Lukáš Lalinský, #157026)
2166
2167
API BREAKS:

2174
---------------------
2175
2176
NOTES WHEN UPGRADING:
2177
2178
* The default repository format is now ``pack-0.92``. This
2179
default is used when creating new repositories with ``init`` and
2180
``init-repo``, and when branching over bzr+ssh or bzr+hpss.
2181
(See https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/164626)
2182
2183
This format can be read and written by Bazaar 0.92 and later, and
2184
data can be transferred to and from older formats.
2185
2186
To upgrade, please reconcile your repository (``bzr reconcile``), and then
2187
upgrade (``bzr upgrade``).
2188
2189
``pack-0.92`` offers substantially better scaling and performance than the
2190
previous knits format. Some operations are slower where the code already
2191
had bad scaling characteristics under knits, the pack format makes such
2192
operations more visible as part of being more scalable overall. We will
2193
correct such operations over the coming releases and encourage the filing
2194
of bugs on any operation which you observe to be slower in a packs
2195
repository. One particular case that we do not intend to fix is pulling
2196
data from a pack repository into a knit repository over a high latency
2197
link; downgrading such data requires reinsertion of the file texts, and
2198
this is a classic space/time tradeoff. The current implementation is
2199
conservative on memory usage because we need to support converting data
2200
from any tree without problems.
2201
(Robert Collins, Martin Pool, #164476)
2202
2203
CHANGES:
2204
2205
* Disable detection of plink.exe as possible ssh vendor. Plink vendor
2206
still available if user selects it explicitly with BZR_SSH environment
2207
variable. (Alexander Belchenko, workaround for bug #107593)
2208
2209
* The pack format is now accessible as "pack-0.92", or "pack-0.92-subtree"
2210
to enable the subtree functions (for example, for bzr-svn).
2211
See http://doc.bazaar-vcs.org/latest/developer/packrepo.html
2212
(Martin Pool)
2213
2214
FEATURES:
2215
2216
* New ``authentication.conf`` file holding the password or other credentials
2217
for remote servers. This can be used for ssh, sftp, smtp and other
2218
supported transports.
2219
(Vincent Ladeuil)
2220
2221
* New rich-root and rich-root-pack formats, recording the same data about
2222
tree roots that's recorded for all other directories.
2223
(Aaron Bentley, #164639)
2224
2225
* ``pack-0.92`` repositories can now be reconciled.
2226
(Robert Collins, #154173)
2227
2228
* ``switch`` command added for changing the branch a lightweight checkout
2229
is associated with and updating the tree to reflect the latest content
2230
accordingly. This command was previously part of the BzrTools plug-in.
2231
(Ian Clatworthy, Aaron Bentley, David Allouche)
2232
2233
* ``reconfigure`` command can now convert branches, trees, or checkouts to
2234
lightweight checkouts. (Aaron Bentley)
2235
2236
PERFORMANCE:
2237
2238
* Commit updates the state of the working tree via a delta rather than
2239
supplying entirely new basis trees. For commit of a single specified file
2240
this reduces the wall clock time for commit by roughly a 30%.
2241
(Robert Collins, Martin Pool)
2242
2243
* Commit with many automatically found deleted paths no longer performs
2244
linear scanning for the children of those paths during inventory
2245
iteration. This should fix commit performance blowing out when many such
2246
paths occur during commit. (Robert Collins, #156491)
2247
2248
* Fetch with pack repositories will no longer read the entire history graph.
2249
(Robert Collins, #88319)
2250
2251
* Revert takes out an appropriate lock when reverting to a basis tree, and
2252
does not read the basis inventory twice. (Robert Collins)
2253
2254
* Diff does not require an inventory to be generated on dirstate trees.
2255
(Aaron Bentley, #149254)
2256
2257
* New annotate merge (--merge-type=weave) implementation is fast on
2258
versionedfiles withough cached annotations, e.g. pack-0.92.
2259
(Aaron Bentley)
2260
2261
IMPROVEMENTS:
2262
2263
* ``bzr merge`` now warns when it encounters a criss-cross merge.
2264
(Aaron Bentley)
2265
2266
* ``bzr send`` now doesn't require the target e-mail address to be
2267
specified on the command line if an interactive e-mail client is used.
2268
(Lukáš Lalinský)
2269
2270
* ``bzr tags`` now prints the revision number for each tag, instead of
2271
the revision id, unless --show-ids is passed. In addition, tags can be
2272
sorted chronologically instead of lexicographically with --sort=time.
2273
(Adeodato Simó, #120231)
2274
2275
* Windows standalone version of bzr is able to load system-wide plugins from
2276
"plugins" subdirectory in installation directory. In addition standalone
2277
installer write to the registry (HKLM\SOFTWARE\Bazaar) useful info
2278
about paths and bzr version. (Alexander Belchenko, #129298)

* Branching from a branch via smart server now preserves the repository
2288
format. (Andrew Bennetts, #164626)
2289
2290
* ``commit`` is now able to invoke an external editor in a non-ascii
2291
directory. (Daniel Watkins, #84043)
2292
2293
* Catch connection errors for ftp.
2294
(Vincent Ladeuil, #164567)
2295
2296
* ``check`` no longer reports spurious unreferenced text versions.
2297
(Robert Collins, John A Meinel, #162931, #165071)

2307
2308
* Do no use timeout in HttpServer anymore.
2309
(Vincent Ladeuil, #158972).
2310
2311
* Don't catch the exceptions related to the http pipeline status before
2312
retrying an http request or some programming errors may be masked.
2313
(Vincent Ladeuil, #160012)
2314
2315
* Fix ``bzr rm`` to not delete modified and ignored files.
2316
(Lukáš Lalinský, #172598)
2317
2318
* Fix exception when revisionspec contains merge revisons but log
2319
formatter doesn't support merge revisions. (Kent Gibson, #148908)
2320
2321
* Fix exception when ScopeReplacer is assigned to before any members have
2322
been retrieved. (Aaron Bentley)
2323
2324
* Fix multiple connections during checkout --lightweight.
2325
(Vincent Ladeuil, #159150)
2326
2327
* Fix possible error in insert_data_stream when copying between
2328
pack repositories over bzr+ssh or bzr+http.
2329
KnitVersionedFile.get_data_stream now makes sure that requested
2330
compression parents are sent before any delta hunks that depend
2331
on them.
2332
(Martin Pool, #164637)
2333
2334
* Fix typo in limiting offsets coalescing for http, leading to
2335
whole files being downloaded instead of parts.
2336
(Vincent Ladeuil, #165061)
2337
2338
* FTP server errors don't error in the error handling code.
2339
(Robert Collins, #161240)
2340
2341
* Give a clearer message when a pull fails because the source needs
2342
to be reconciled.
2343
(Martin Pool, #164443)
2344
2345
* It is clearer when a plugin cannot be loaded because of its name, and a
2346
suggestion for an acceptable name is given. (Daniel Watkins, #103023)
2347
2348
* Leave port as None in transport objects if user doesn't
2349
specify a port in urls.
2350
(vincent Ladeuil, #150860)
2351
2352
* Make sure Repository.fetch(self) is properly a no-op for all
2353
Repository implementations. (John Arbash Meinel, #158333)
2354
2355
* Mark .bzr directories as "hidden" on Windows.
2356
(Alexander Belchenko, #71147)
2357
2358
* ``merge --uncommitted`` can now operate on a single file.
2359
(Aaron Bentley, Lukáš Lalinský, #136890)
2360
2361
* Obsolete packs are now cleaned up by pack and autopack operations.
2362
(Robert Collins, #153789)
2363
2364
* Operations pulling data from a smart server where the underlying
2365
repositories are not both annotated/both unannotated will now work.
2366
(Robert Collins, #165304).
2367
2368
* Reconcile now shows progress bars. (Robert Collins, #159351)
2369
2370
* ``RemoteBranch`` was not initializing ``self._revision_id_to_revno_map``
2371
properly. (John Arbash Meinel, #162486)
2372
2373
* Removing an already-removed file reports the file does not exist. (Daniel
2374
Watkins, #152811)
2375
2376
* Rename on Windows is able to change filename case.
2377
(Alexander Belchenko, #77740)
2378
2379
* Return error instead of a traceback for ``bzr log -r0``.
2380
(Kent Gibson, #133751)
2381
2382
* Return error instead of a traceback when bzr is unable to create
2383
symlink on some platforms (e.g. on Windows).
2384
(Alexander Belchenko, workaround for #81689)
2385
2386
* Revert doesn't crash when restoring a single file from a deleted
2387
directory. (Aaron Bentley)
2388
2389
* Stderr output via logging mechanism now goes through encoded wrapper
2390
and no more uses utf-8, but terminal encoding instead. So all unicode
2391
strings now should be readable in non-utf-8 terminal.
2392
(Alexander Belchenko, #54173)
2393
2394
* The error message when ``move --after`` should be used makes how to do so
2395
clearer. (Daniel Watkins, #85237)
2396
2397
* Unicode-safe output from ``bzr info``. The output will be encoded
2398
using the terminal encoding and unrepresentable characters will be
2399
replaced by '?'. (Lukáš Lalinský, #151844)
2400
2401
* Working trees are no longer created when pushing into a local no-trees
2402
repo. (Daniel Watkins, #50582)
2403
2404
* Upgrade util/configobj to version 4.4.0.
2405
(Vincent Ladeuil, #151208).
2406
2407
* Wrap medusa ftp test server as an FTPServer feature.
2408
(Vincent Ladeuil, #157752)
2409
2410
API BREAKS:
2411
2412
* ``osutils.backup_file`` is deprecated. Actually it's not used in bzrlib
2413
during very long time. (Alexander Belchenko)
2414
2415
* The return value of
2416
``VersionedFile.iter_lines_added_or_present_in_versions`` has been
2417
changed. Previously it was an iterator of lines, now it is an iterator of
2418
(line, version_id) tuples. This change has been made to aid reconcile and
2419
fetch operations. (Robert Collins)
2420
2421
* ``bzrlib.repository.get_versioned_file_checker`` is now private.
2422
(Robert Collins)
2423
2424
* The Repository format registry default has been removed; it was previously
2425
obsoleted by the bzrdir format default, which implies a default repository
2426
format.
2427
(Martin Pool)
2428
2429
INTERNALS:
2430
2431
* Added ``ContainerSerialiser`` and ``ContainerPushParser`` to
2432
``bzrlib.pack``. These classes provide more convenient APIs for generating
2433
and parsing containers from streams rather than from files. (Andrew
2434
Bennetts)
2435
2436
* New module ``lru_cache`` providing a cache for use by tasks that need
2437
semi-random access to large amounts of data. (John A Meinel)
2438
2439
* InventoryEntry.diff is now deprecated. Please use diff.DiffTree instead.

2455
NOTES WHEN UPGRADING:
2456
2457
CHANGES:
2458
2459
* ``bzr`` now returns exit code 4 if an internal error occurred, and
2460
3 if a normal error occurred. (Martin Pool)
2461
2462
* ``pull``, ``merge`` and ``push`` will no longer silently correct some
2463
repository index errors that occured as a result of the Weave disk format.
2464
Instead the ``reconcile`` command needs to be run to correct those
2465
problems if they exist (and it has been able to fix most such problems
2466
since bzr 0.8). Some new problems have been identified during this release
2467
and you should run ``bzr check`` once on every repository to see if you
2468
need to reconcile. If you cannot ``pull`` or ``merge`` from a remote
2469
repository due to mismatched parent errors - a symptom of index errors -
2470
you should simply take a full copy of that remote repository to a clean
2471
directory outside any local repositories, then run reconcile on it, and
2472
finally pull from it locally. (And naturally email the repositories owner
2473
to ask them to upgrade and run reconcile).
2474
(Robert Collins)
2475
2476
FEATURES:
2477
2478
* New ``knitpack-experimental`` repository format. This is interoperable with
2479
the ``dirstate-tags`` format but uses a smarter storage design that greatly
2480
speeds up many operations, both local and remote. This new format can be
2481
used as an option to the ``init``, ``init-repository`` and ``upgrade``
2482
commands. See http://doc.bazaar-vcs.org/0.92/developers/knitpack.html
2483
for further details. (Robert Collins)
2484
2485
* For users of bzr-svn (and those testing the prototype subtree support) that
2486
wish to try packs, a new ``knitpack-subtree-experimental`` format has also
2487
been added. This is interoperable with the ``dirstate-subtrees`` format.
2488
(Robert Collins)
2489
2490
* New ``reconfigure`` command. (Aaron Bentley)
2491
2492
* New ``revert --forget-merges`` command, which removes the record of a pending
2493
merge without affecting the working tree contents. (Martin Pool)
2494
2495
* New ``bzr_remote_path`` configuration variable allows finer control of
2496
remote bzr locations than BZR_REMOTE_PATH environment variable.
2497
(Aaron Bentley)
2498
2499
* New ``launchpad-login`` command to tell Bazaar your Launchpad
2500
user ID. This can then be used by other functions of the
2501
Launchpad plugin. (James Henstridge)
2502
2503
PERFORMANCE:
2504
2505
* Commit in quiet mode is now slightly faster as the information to
2506
output is no longer calculated. (Ian Clatworthy)
2507
2508
* Commit no longer checks for new text keys during insertion when the
2509
revision id was deterministically unique. (Robert Collins)
2510
2511
* Committing a change which is not a merge and does not change the number of
2512
files in the tree is faster by utilising the data about whether files are
2513
changed to determine if the tree is unchanged rather than recalculating
2514
it at the end of the commit process. (Robert Collins)
2515
2516
* Inventory serialisation no longer double-sha's the content.
2517
(Robert Collins)
2518
2519
* Knit text reconstruction now avoids making copies of the lines list for
2520
interim texts when building a single text. The new ``apply_delta`` method
2521
on ``KnitContent`` aids this by allowing modification of the revision id
2522
such objects represent. (Robert Collins)
2523
2524
* Pack indices are now partially parsed for specific key lookup using a
2525
bisection approach. (Robert Collins)
2526
2527
* Partial commits are now approximately 40% faster by walking over the
2528
unselected current tree more efficiently. (Robert Collins)
2529
2530
* XML inventory serialisation takes 20% less time while being stricter about
2531
the contents. (Robert Collins)
2532
2533
* Graph ``heads()`` queries have been fixed to no longer access all history
2534
unnecessarily. (Robert Collins)
2535
2536
IMPROVEMENTS:
2537
2538
* ``bzr+https://`` smart server across https now supported.
2539
(John Ferlito, Martin Pool, #128456)
2540
2541
* Mutt is now a supported mail client; set ``mail_client=mutt`` in your
2542
bazaar.conf and ``send`` will use mutt. (Keir Mierle)
2543
2544
* New option ``-c``/``--change`` for ``merge`` command for cherrypicking
2545
changes from one revision. (Alexander Belchenko, #141368)
2546
2547
* Show encodings, locale and list of plugins in the traceback message.
2548
(Martin Pool, #63894)
2549
2550
* Experimental directory formats can now be marked with
2551
``experimental = True`` during registration. (Ian Clatworthy)
2552
2553
DOCUMENTATION:
2554
2555
* New *Bazaar in Five Minutes* guide. (Matthew Revell)
2556
2557
* The hooks reference documentation is now converted to html as expected.
2558
(Ian Clatworthy)
2559
2560
BUG FIXES:
2561
2562
* Connection error reporting for the smart server has been fixed to
2563
display a user friendly message instead of a traceback.
2564
(Ian Clatworthy, #115601)
2565
2566
* Make sure to use ``O_BINARY`` when opening files to check their
2567
sha1sum. (Alexander Belchenko, John Arbash Meinel, #153493)
2568
2569
* Fix a problem with Win32 handling of the executable bit.
2570
(John Arbash Meinel, #149113)
2571
2572
* ``bzr+ssh://`` and ``sftp://`` URLs that do not specify ports explicitly
2573
no longer assume that means port 22. This allows people using OpenSSH to
2574
override the default port in their ``~/.ssh/config`` if they wish. This
2575
fixes a bug introduced in bzr 0.91. (Andrew Bennetts, #146715)
2576
2577
* Commands reporting exceptions can now be profiled and still have their
2578
data correctly dumped to a file. For example, a ``bzr commit`` with
2579
no changes still reports the operation as pointless but doing so no
2580
longer throws away the profiling data if this command is run with
2581
``--lsprof-file callgrind.out.ci`` say. (Ian Clatworthy)
2582
2583
* Fallback to ftp when paramiko is not installed and sftp can't be used for
2584
``tests/commands`` so that the test suite is still usable without
2585
paramiko.
2586
(Vincent Ladeuil, #59150)
2587
2588
* Fix commit ordering in corner case. (Aaron Bentley, #94975)
2589
2590
* Fix long standing bug in partial commit when there are renames
2591
left in tree. (Robert Collins, #140419)
2592
2593
* Fix selftest semi-random noise during http related tests.
2594
(Vincent Ladeuil, #140614)
2595
2596
* Fix typo in ftp.py making the reconnection fail on temporary errors.
2597
(Vincent Ladeuil, #154259)
2598
2599
* Fix failing test by comparing real paths to cover the case where the TMPDIR
2600
contains a symbolic link.
2601
(Vincent Ladeuil, #141382).
2602
2603
* Fix log against smart server branches that don't support tags.
2604
(James Westby, #140615)
2605
2606
* Fix pycurl http implementation by defining error codes from
2607
pycurl instead of relying on an old curl definition.
2608
(Vincent Ladeuil, #147530)
2609
2610
* Fix 'unprintable error' message when displaying BzrCheckError and
2611
some other exceptions on Python 2.5.
2612
(Martin Pool, #144633)
2613
2614
* Fix ``Inventory.copy()`` and add test for it. (Jelmer Vernooij)
2615
2616
* Handles default value for ListOption in cmd_commit.
2617
(Vincent Ladeuil, #140432)
2618
2619
* HttpServer and FtpServer need to be closed properly or a listening socket
2620
will remain opened.
2621
(Vincent Ladeuil, #140055)
2622
2623
* Monitor the .bzr directory created in the top level test
2624
directory to detect leaking tests.
2625
(Vincent Ladeuil, #147986)
2626
2627
* The basename, not the full path, is now used when checking whether
2628
the profiling dump file begins with ``callgrind.out`` or not. This
2629
fixes a bug reported by Aaron Bentley on IRC. (Ian Clatworthy)
2630
2631
* Trivial fix for invoking command ``reconfigure`` without arguments.
2632
(Rob Weir, #141629)
2633
2634
* ``WorkingTree.rename_one`` will now raise an error if normalisation of the
2635
new path causes bzr to be unable to access the file. (Robert Collins)
2636
2637
* Correctly detect a NoSuchFile when using a filezilla server. (Gary van der
2638
Merwe)
2639
2640
API BREAKS:
2641
2642
* ``bzrlib.index.GraphIndex`` now requires a size parameter to the
2643
constructor, for enabling bisection searches. (Robert Collins)
2644
2645
* ``CommitBuilder.record_entry_contents`` now requires the root entry of a
2646
tree be supplied to it, previously failing to do so would trigger a
2647
deprecation warning. (Robert Collins)
2648
2649
* ``KnitVersionedFile.add*`` will no longer cache added records even when
2650
enable_cache() has been called - the caching feature is now exclusively for
2651
reading existing data. (Robert Collins)
2652
2653
* ``ReadOnlyLockError`` is deprecated; ``LockFailed`` is usually more
2654
appropriate. (Martin Pool)
2655
2656
* Removed ``bzrlib.transport.TransportLogger`` - please see the new
2657
``trace+`` transport instead. (Robert Collins)
2658
2659
* Removed previously deprecated varargs interface to ``TestCase.run_bzr`` and
2660
deprecated methods ``TestCase.capture`` and ``TestCase.run_bzr_captured``.
2661
(Martin Pool)
2662
2663
* Removed previous deprecated ``basis_knit`` parameter to the
2664
``KnitVersionedFile`` constructor. (Robert Collins)
2665
2666
* Special purpose method ``TestCase.run_bzr_decode`` is moved to the test_non_ascii
2667
class that needs it.
2668
(Martin Pool)
2669
2670
* The class ``bzrlib.repofmt.knitrepo.KnitRepository3`` has been folded into
2671
``KnitRepository`` by parameters to the constructor. (Robert Collins)
2672
2673
* The ``VersionedFile`` interface now allows content checks to be bypassed
2674
by supplying check_content=False. This saves nearly 30% of the minimum
2675
cost to store a version of a file. (Robert Collins)
2676
2677
* Tree's with bad state such as files with no length or sha will no longer
2678
be silently accepted by the repository XML serialiser. To serialise
2679
inventories without such data, pass working=True to write_inventory.
2680
(Robert Collins)
2681
2682
* ``VersionedFile.fix_parents`` has been removed as a harmful API.
2683
``VersionedFile.join`` will no longer accept different parents on either
2684
side of a join - it will either ignore them, or error, depending on the
2685
implementation. See notes when upgrading for more information.
2686
(Robert Collins)
2687
2688
INTERNALS:
2689
2690
* ``bzrlib.transport.Transport.put_file`` now returns the number of bytes
2691
put by the method call, to allow avoiding stat-after-write or
2692
housekeeping in callers. (Robert Collins)
2693
2694
* ``bzrlib.xml_serializer.Serializer`` is now responsible for checking that
2695
mandatory attributes are present on serialisation and deserialisation.
2696
This fixes some holes in API usage and allows better separation between
2697
physical storage and object serialisation. (Robert Collins)
2698
2699
* New class ``bzrlib.errors.InternalBzrError`` which is just a convenient
2700
shorthand for deriving from BzrError and setting internal_error = True.
2701
(Robert Collins)
2702
2703
* New method ``bzrlib.mutabletree.update_to_one_parent_via_delta`` for
2704
moving the state of a parent tree to a new version via a delta rather than
2705
a complete replacement tree. (Robert Collins)
2706
2707
* New method ``bzrlib.osutils.minimum_path_selection`` useful for removing
2708
duplication from user input, when a user mentions both a path and an item
2709
contained within that path. (Robert Collins)
2710
2711
* New method ``bzrlib.repository.Repository.is_write_locked`` useful for
2712
determining if a repository is write locked. (Robert Collins)
2713
2714
* New method on ``bzrlib.tree.Tree`` ``path_content_summary`` provides a
2715
tuple containing the key information about a path for commit processing
2716
to complete. (Robert Collins)
2717
2718
* New method on xml serialisers, write_inventory_to_lines, which matches the
2719
API used by knits for adding content. (Robert Collins)
2720
2721
* New module ``bzrlib.bisect_multi`` with generic multiple-bisection-at-once
2722
logic, currently only available for byte-based lookup
2723
(``bisect_multi_bytes``). (Robert Collins)
2724
2725
* New helper ``bzrlib.tuned_gzip.bytes_to_gzip`` which takes a byte string
2726
and returns a gzipped version of the same. This is used to avoid a bunch
2727
of api friction during adding of knit hunks. (Robert Collins)
2728
2729
* New parameter on ``bzrlib.transport.Transport.readv``
2730
``adjust_for_latency`` which changes readv from returning strictly the
2731
requested data to inserted return larger ranges and in forward read order
2732
to reduce the effect of network latency. (Robert Collins)
2733
2734
* New parameter yield_parents on ``Inventory.iter_entries_by_dir`` which
2735
causes the parents of a selected id to be returned recursively, so all the
2736
paths from the root down to each element of selected_file_ids are
2737
returned. (Robert Collins)
2738
2739
* Knit joining has been enhanced to support plain to annotated conversion
2740
and annotated to plain conversion. (Ian Clatworthy)
2741
2742
* The CommitBuilder method ``record_entry_contents`` now returns summary
2743
information about the effect of the commit on the repository. This tuple
2744
contains an inventory delta item if the entry changed from the basis, and a
2745
boolean indicating whether a new file graph node was recorded.
2746
(Robert Collins)
2747
2748
* The python path used in the Makefile can now be overridden.
2749
(Andrew Bennetts, Ian Clatworthy)
2750
2751
TESTING:
2752
2753
* New transport implementation ``trace+`` which is useful for testing,
2754
logging activity taken to its _activity attribute. (Robert Collins)
2755
2756
* When running bzr commands within the test suite, internal exceptions are
2757
not caught and reported in the usual way, but rather allowed to propagate
2758
up and be visible to the test suite. A new API ``run_bzr_catch_user_errors``
2759
makes this behavior available to other users.
2760
(Martin Pool)
2761
2762
* New method ``TestCase.call_catch_warnings`` for testing methods that
2763
raises a Python warning. (Martin Pool)

* Print a warning instead of aborting the ``python setup.py install``
2772
process if building of a C extension is not possible.
2773
(Lukáš Lalinský, Alexander Belchenko)
2774
2775
* Fix commit ordering in corner case (Aaron Bentley, #94975)
2776
2777
* Fix ''bzr info bzr://host/'' and other operations on ''bzr://' URLs with
2778
an implicit port. We were incorrectly raising PathNotChild due to
2779
inconsistent treatment of the ''_port'' attribute on the Transport object.
2780
(Andrew Bennetts, #133965)
2781
2782
* Make RemoteRepository.sprout cope gracefully with servers that don't
2783
support the ``Repository.tarball`` request.

in bzrlib/remote.py.

----------------------
2796
2797
CHANGES:
2798
2799
* The default branch and repository format has changed to
2800
``dirstate-tags``, so tag commands are active by default.
2801
This format is compatible with Bazaar 0.15 and later.
2802
This incidentally fixes bug #126141.
2803
(Martin Pool)
2804
2805
* ``--quiet`` or ``-q`` is no longer a global option. If present, it
2806
must now appear after the command name. Scripts doing things like
2807
``bzr -q missing`` need to be rewritten as ``bzr missing -q``.
2808
(Ian Clatworthy)
2809
2810
FEATURES:
2811
2812
* New option ``--author`` in ``bzr commit`` to specify the author of the
2813
change, if it's different from the committer. ``bzr log`` and
2814
``bzr annotate`` display the author instead of the committer.
2815
(Lukáš Lalinský)
2816
2817
* In addition to global options and command specific options, a set of
2818
standard options are now supported. Standard options are legal for
2819
all commands. The initial set of standard options are:
2820
2821
* ``--help`` or ``-h`` - display help message
2822
* ``--verbose`` or ``-v`` - display additional information
2823
* ``--quiet`` or ``-q`` - only output warnings and errors.
2824
2825
Unlike global options, standard options can be used in aliases and
2826
may have command-specific help. (Ian Clatworthy)
2827
2828
* Verbosity level processing has now been unified. If ``--verbose``
2829
or ``-v`` is specified on the command line multiple times, the
2830
verbosity level is made positive the first time then increased.
2831
If ``--quiet`` or ``-q`` is specified on the command line
2832
multiple times, the verbosity level is made negative the first
2833
time then decreased. To get the default verbosity level of zero,
2834
either specify none of the above , ``--no-verbose`` or ``--no-quiet``.
2835
Note that most commands currently ignore the magnitude of the
2836
verbosity level but do respect *quiet vs normal vs verbose* when
2837
generating output. (Ian Clatworthy)
2838
2839
* ``Branch.hooks`` now supports ``pre_commit`` hook. The hook's signature
2840
is documented in BranchHooks constructor. (Nam T. Nguyen, #102747)
2841
2842
* New ``Repository.stream_knit_data_for_revisions`` request added to the
2843
network protocol for greatly reduced roundtrips when retrieving a set of
2844
revisions. (Andrew Bennetts)
2845
2846
BUG FIXES:
2847
2848
* ``bzr plugins`` now lists the version number for each plugin in square
2849
brackets after the path. (Robert Collins, #125421)
2850
2851
* Pushing, pulling and branching branches with subtree references was not
2852
copying the subtree weave, preventing the file graph from being accessed
2853
and causing errors in commits in clones. (Robert Collins)
2854
2855
* Suppress warning "integer argument expected, got float" from Paramiko,
2856
which sometimes caused false test failures. (Martin Pool)
2857
2858
* Fix bug in bundle 4 that could cause attempts to write data to wrong
2859
versionedfile. (Aaron Bentley)
2860
2861
* Diffs generated using "diff -p" no longer break the patch parser.
2862
(Aaron Bentley)
2863
2864
* get_transport treats an empty possible_transports list the same as a non-
2865
empty one. (Aaron Bentley)
2866
2867
* patch verification for merge directives is reactivated, and works with
2868
CRLF and CR files. (Aaron Bentley)
2869
2870
* Accept ..\ as a path in revision specifiers. This fixes for example
2871
"-r branch:..\other-branch" on Windows. (Lukáš Lalinský)
2872
2873
* ``BZR_PLUGIN_PATH`` may now contain trailing slashes.
2874
(Blake Winton, #129299)
2875
2876
* man page no longer lists hidden options (#131667, Aaron Bentley)
2877
2878
* ``uncommit --help`` now explains the -r option adequately. (Daniel
2879
Watkins, #106726)
2880
2881
* Error messages are now better formatted with parameters (such as
2882
filenames) quoted when necessary. This avoids confusion when directory
2883
names ending in a '.' at the end of messages were confused with a
2884
full stop that may or not have been there. (Daniel Watkins, #129791)
2885
2886
* Fix ``status FILE -r X..Y``. (Lukáš Lalinský)
2887
2888
* If a particular command is an alias, ``help`` will show the alias
2889
instead of claiming there is no help for said alias. (Daniel Watkins,
2890
#133548)
2891
2892
* TreeTransform-based operations, like pull, merge, revert, and branch,
2893
now roll back if they encounter an error. (Aaron Bentley, #67699)
2894
2895
* ``bzr commit`` now exits cleanly if a character unsupported by the
2896
current encoding is used in the commit message. (Daniel Watkins,
2897
#116143)
2898
2899
* bzr send uses default values for ranges when only half of an elipsis
2900
is specified ("-r..5" or "-r5.."). (#61685, Aaron Bentley)
2901
2902
* Avoid trouble when Windows ssh calls itself 'plink' but no plink
2903
binary is present. (Martin Albisetti, #107155)
2904
2905
* ``bzr remove`` should remove clean subtrees. Now it will remove (without
2906
needing ``--force``) subtrees that contain no files with text changes or
2907
modified files. With ``--force`` it removes the subtree regardless of
2908
text changes or unknown files. Directories with renames in or out (but
2909
not changed otherwise) will now be removed without needing ``--force``.
2910
Unknown ignored files will be deleted without needing ``--force``.
2911
(Marius Kruger, #111665)
2912
2913
* When two plugins conflict, the source of both the losing and now the
2914
winning definition is shown. (Konstantin Mikhaylov, #5454)
2915
2916
* When committing to a branch, the location being committed to is
2917
displayed. (Daniel Watkins, #52479)
2918
2919
* ``bzr --version`` takes care about encoding of stdout, especially
2920
when output is redirected. (Alexander Belchenko, #131100)
2921
2922
* Prompt for an ftp password if none is provided.
2923
(Vincent Ladeuil, #137044)
2924
2925
* Reuse bound branch associated transport to avoid multiple
2926
connections.
2927
(Vincent Ladeuil, #128076, #131396)
2928
2929
* Overwrite conflicting tags by ``push`` and ``pull`` if the
2930
``--overwrite`` option is specified. (Lukáš Lalinský, #93947)
2931
2932
* In checkouts, tags are copied into the master branch when created,
2933
changed or deleted, and are copied into the checkout when it is
2934
updated. (Martin Pool, #93856, #93860)
2935
2936
* Print a warning instead of aborting the ``python setup.py install``
2937
process if building of a C extension is not possible.
2938
(Lukáš Lalinský, Alexander Belchenko)
2939
2940
IMPROVEMENTS:
2941
2942
* Add the option "--show-diff" to the commit command in order to display
2943
the diff during the commit log creation. (Goffredo Baroncelli)
2944
2945
* ``pull`` and ``merge`` are much faster at installing bundle format 4.
2946
(Aaron Bentley)
2947
2948
* ``pull -v`` no longer includes deltas, making it much faster.
2949
(Aaron Bentley)
2950
2951
* ``send`` now sends the directive as an attachment by default.
2952
(Aaron Bentley, Lukáš Lalinský, Alexander Belchenko)
2953
2954
* Documentation updates (Martin Albisetti)
2955
2956
* Help on debug flags is now included in ``help global-options``.
2957
(Daniel Watkins, #124853)
2958
2959
* Parameters passed on the command line are checked to ensure they are
2960
supported by the encoding in use. (Daniel Watkins)
2961
2962
* The compression used within the bzr repository has changed from zlib
2963
level 9 to the zlib default level. This improves commit performance with
2964
only a small increase in space used (and in some cases a reduction in
2965
space). (Robert Collins)
2966
2967
* Initial commit no longer SHAs files twice and now reuses the path
2968
rather than looking it up again, making it faster.
2969
(Ian Clatworthy)
2970
2971
* New option ``-c``/``--change`` for ``diff`` and ``status`` to show
2972
changes in one revision. (Lukáš Lalinský)
2973
2974
* If versioned files match a given ignore pattern, a warning is now
2975
given. (Daniel Watkins, #48623)
2976
2977
* ``bzr status`` now has -S as a short name for --short and -V as a
2978
short name for --versioned. These have been added to assist users
2979
migrating from Subversion: ``bzr status -SV`` is now like
2980
``svn status -q``. (Daniel Watkins, #115990)
2981
2982
* Added C implementation of ``PatienceSequenceMatcher``, which is about
2983
10x faster than the Python version. This speeds up commands that
2984
need file diffing, such as ``bzr commit`` or ``bzr diff``.
2985
(Lukáš Lalinský)
2986
2987
* HACKING has been extended with a large section on core developer tasks.
2988
(Ian Clatworthy)
2989
2990
* Add ``branches`` and ``standalone-trees`` as online help topics and
2991
include them as Concepts within the User Reference.
2992
(Paul Moore, Ian Clatworthy)
2993
2994
* ``check`` can detect versionedfile parent references that are
2995
inconsistent with revision and inventory info, and ``reconcile`` can fix
2996
them. These faulty references were generated by 0.8-era releases,
2997
so repositories which were manipulated by old bzrs should be
2998
checked, and possibly reconciled ASAP. (Aaron Bentley, Andrew Bennetts)
2999
3000
API BREAKS:
3001
3002
* ``Branch.append_revision`` is removed altogether; please use
3003
``Branch.set_last_revision_info`` instead. (Martin Pool)
3004
3005
* CommitBuilder now advertises itself as requiring the root entry to be
3006
supplied. This only affects foreign repository implementations which reuse
3007
CommitBuilder directly and have changed record_entry_contents to require
3008
that the root not be supplied. This should be precisely zero plugins
3009
affected. (Robert Collins)
3010
3011
* The ``add_lines`` methods on ``VersionedFile`` implementations has changed
3012
its return value to include the sha1 and length of the inserted text. This
3013
allows the avoidance of double-sha1 calculations during commit.
3014
(Robert Collins)
3015
3016
* ``Transport.should_cache`` has been removed. It was not called in the
3017
previous release. (Martin Pool)
3018
3019
TESTING:
3020
3021
* Tests may now raise TestNotApplicable to indicate they shouldn't be
3022
run in a particular scenario. (Martin Pool)
3023
3024
* New function multiply_tests_from_modules to give a simpler interface
3025
to test parameterization. (Martin Pool, Robert Collins)
3026
3027
* ``Transport.should_cache`` has been removed. It was not called in the
3028
previous release. (Martin Pool)
3029
3030
* NULL_REVISION is returned to indicate the null revision, not None.
3031
(Aaron Bentley)
3032
3033
* Use UTF-8 encoded StringIO for log tests to avoid failures on
3034
non-ASCII committer names. (Lukáš Lalinský)
3035
3036
INTERNALS:
3037
3038
* ``bzrlib.plugin.all_plugins`` has been deprecated in favour of
3039
``bzrlib.plugin.plugins()`` which returns PlugIn objects that provide
3040
useful functionality for determining the path of a plugin, its tests, and
3041
its version information. (Robert Collins)
3042
3043
* Add the option user_encoding to the function 'show_diff_trees()'
3044
in order to move the user encoding at the UI level. (Goffredo Baroncelli)
3045
3046
* Add the function make_commit_message_template_encoded() and the function
3047
edit_commit_message_encoded() which handle encoded strings.
3048
This is done in order to mix the commit messages (which is a unicode
3049
string), and the diff which is a raw string. (Goffredo Baroncelli)
3050
3051
* CommitBuilder now defaults to using add_lines_with_ghosts, reducing
3052
overhead on non-weave repositories which don't require all parents to be
3053
present. (Robert Collins)
3054
3055
* Deprecated method ``find_previous_heads`` on
3056
``bzrlib.inventory.InventoryEntry``. This has been superseded by the use
3057
of ``parent_candidates`` and a separate heads check via the repository
3058
API. (Robert Collins)
3059
3060
* New trace function ``mutter_callsite`` will print out a subset of the
3061
stack to the log, which can be useful for gathering debug details.
3062
(Robert Collins)
3063
3064
* ``bzrlib.pack.ContainerWriter`` now tracks how many records have been
3065
added via a public attribute records_written. (Robert Collins)
3066
3067
* New method ``bzrlib.transport.Transport.get_recommended_page_size``.
3068
This provides a hint to users of transports as to the reasonable
3069
minimum data to read. In principle this can take latency and
3070
bandwidth into account on a per-connection basis, but for now it
3071
just has hard coded values based on the url. (e.g. http:// has a large
3072
page size, file:// has a small one.) (Robert Collins)
3073
3074
* New method on ``bzrlib.transport.Transport`` ``open_write_stream`` allows
3075
incremental addition of data to a file without requiring that all the
3076
data be buffered in memory. (Robert Collins)
3077
3078
* New methods on ``bzrlib.knit.KnitVersionedFile``:
3079
``get_data_stream(versions)``, ``insert_data_stream(stream)`` and
3080
``get_format_signature()``. These provide some infrastructure for
3081
efficiently streaming the knit data for a set of versions over the smart
3082
protocol.
3083
3084
* Knits with no annotation cache still produce correct annotations.
3085
(Aaron Bentley)
3086
3087
* Three new methods have been added to ``bzrlib.trace``:
3088
``set_verbosity_level``, ``get_verbosity_level`` and ``is_verbose``.
3089
``set_verbosity_level`` expects a numeric value: negative for quiet,
3090
zero for normal, positive for verbose. The size of the number can be
3091
used to determine just how quiet or verbose the application should be.
3092
The existing ``be_quiet`` and ``is_quiet`` routines have been
3093
integrated into this new scheme. (Ian Clatworthy)
3094
3095
* Options can now be delcared with a ``custom_callback`` parameter. If
3096
set, this routine is called after the option is processed. This feature
3097
is now used by the standard options ``verbose`` and ``quiet`` so that
3098
setting one implicitly resets the other. (Ian Clatworthy)
3099
3100
* Rather than declaring a new option from scratch in order to provide
3101
custom help, a centrally registered option can be decorated using the
3102
new ``bzrlib.Option.custom_help`` routine. In particular, this routine
3103
is useful when declaring better help for the ``verbose`` and ``quiet``
3104
standard options as the base definition of these is now more complex
3105
than before thanks to their use of a custom callback. (Ian Clatworthy)
3106
3107
* Tree._iter_changes(specific_file=[]) now iterates through no files,
3108
instead of iterating through all files. None is used to iterate through
3109
all files. (Aaron Bentley)
3110
3111
* WorkingTree.revert() now accepts None to revert all files. The use of
3112
[] to revert all files is deprecated. (Aaron Bentley)
3113
3114
3115
bzr 0.90 2007-08-28
3116
-------------------
3117
3118
IMPROVEMENTS:
3119
3120
* Documentation is now organized into multiple directories with a level
3121
added for different languages or locales. Added the Mini Tutorial
3122
and Quick Start Summary (en) documents from the Wiki, improving the
3123
content and readability of the former. Formatted NEWS as Release Notes
3124
complete with a Table of Conents, one heading per release. Moved the
3125
Developer Guide into the main document catalog and provided a link
3126
from the developer document catalog back to the main one.
3127
(Ian Clatworthy, Sabin Iacob, Alexander Belchenko)
3128
3129
3130
API CHANGES:
3131
3132
* The static convenience method ``BzrDir.create_repository``
3133
is deprecated. Callers should instead create a ``BzrDir`` instance
3134
and call ``create_repository`` on that. (Martin Pool)
3135
3136
3137
bzr 0.90rc1 2007-08-14
3138
----------------------
3139
3140
BUGFIXES:
3141
3142
* ``bzr init`` should connect to the remote location one time only. We
3143
have been connecting several times because we forget to pass around the
3144
Transport object. This modifies ``BzrDir.create_branch_convenience``,
3145
so that we can give it the Transport we already have.
3146
(John Arbash Meinel, Vincent Ladeuil, #111702)
3147
3148
* Get rid of sftp connection cache (get rid of the FTP one too).
3149
(Vincent Ladeuil, #43731)
3150
3151
* bzr branch {local|remote} remote don't try to create a working tree
3152
anymore.
3153
(Vincent Ladeuil, #112173)
3154
3155
* All identified multiple connections for a single bzr command have been
3156
fixed. See bzrlib/tests/commands directory.
3157
(Vincent Ladeuil)
3158
3159
* ``bzr rm`` now does not insist on ``--force`` to delete files that
3160
have been renamed but not otherwise modified. (Marius Kruger,
3161
#111664)
3162
3163
* ``bzr selftest --bench`` no longer emits deprecation warnings
3164
(Lukáš Lalinský)
3165
3166
* ``bzr status`` now honours FILE parameters for conflict lists
3167
(Aaron Bentley, #127606)
3168
3169
* ``bzr checkout`` now honours -r when reconstituting a working tree.
3170
It also honours -r 0. (Aaron Bentley, #127708)
3171
3172
* ``bzr add *`` no more fails on Windows if working tree contains
3173
non-ascii file names. (Kuno Meyer, #127361)
3174
3175
* allow ``easy_install bzr`` runs without fatal errors.
3176
(Alexander Belchenko, #125521)
3177
3178
* Graph._filter_candidate_lca does not raise KeyError if a candidate
3179
is eliminated just before it would normally be examined. (Aaron Bentley)
3180
3181
* SMTP connection failures produce a nice message, not a traceback.
3182
(Aaron Bentley)
3183
3184
IMPROVEMENTS:
3185
3186
* Don't show "dots" progress indicators when run non-interactively, such
3187
as from cron. (Martin Pool)
3188
3189
* ``info`` now formats locations more nicely and lists "submit" and
3190
"public" branches (Aaron Bentley)
3191
3192
* New ``pack`` command that will trigger database compression within
3193
the repository (Robert Collins)
3194
3195
* Implement ``_KnitIndex._load_data`` in a pyrex extension. The pyrex
3196
version is approximately 2-3x faster at parsing a ``.kndx`` file.
3197
Which yields a measurable improvement for commands which have to
3198
read from the repository, such as a 1s => 0.75s improvement in
3199
``bzr diff`` when there are changes to be shown. (John Arbash Meinel)
3200
3201
* Merge is now faster. Depending on the scenario, it can be more than 2x
3202
faster. (Aaron Bentley)
3203
3204
* Give a clearer warning, and allow ``python setup.py install`` to
3205
succeed even if pyrex is not available.
3206
(John Arbash Meinel)
3207
3208
* ``DirState._read_dirblocks`` now has an optional Pyrex
3209
implementation. This improves the speed of any command that has to
3210
read the entire DirState. (``diff``, ``status``, etc, improve by
3211
about 10%).
3212
``bisect_dirblocks`` has also been improved, which helps all
3213
``_get_entry`` type calls (whenever we are searching for a
3214
particular entry in the in-memory DirState).
3215
(John Arbash Meinel)
3216
3217
* ``bzr pull`` and ``bzr push`` no longer do a complete walk of the
3218
branch revision history for ui display unless -v is supplied.
3219
(Robert Collins)
3220
3221
* ``bzr log -rA..B`` output shifted to the left margin if the log only
3222
contains merge revisions. (Kent Gibson)
3223
3224
* The ``plugins`` command is now public with improved help.
3225
(Ian Clatworthy)
3226
3227
* New bundle and merge directive formats are faster to generate, and
3228
3229
* Annotate merge now works when there are local changes. (Aaron Bentley)
3230
3231
* Commit now only shows the progress in terms of directories instead of
3232
entries. (Ian Clatworthy)
3233
3234
* Fix ``KnitRepository.get_revision_graph`` to not request the graph 2
3235
times. This makes ``get_revision_graph`` 2x faster. (John Arbash
3236
Meinel)
3237
3238
* Fix ``VersionedFile.get_graph()`` to avoid using
3239
``set.difference_update(other)``, which has bad scaling when
3240
``other`` is large. This improves ``VF.get_graph([version_id])`` for
3241
a 12.5k graph from 2.9s down to 200ms. (John Arbash Meinel)
3242
3243
* The ``--lsprof-file`` option now generates output for KCacheGrind if
3244
the file starts with ``callgrind.out``. This matches the default file
3245
filtering done by KCacheGrind's Open Dialog. (Ian Clatworthy)
3246
3247
* Fix ``bzr update`` to avoid an unnecessary
3248
``branch.get_master_branch`` call, which avoids 1 extra connection
3249
to the remote server. (Partial fix for #128076, John Arbash Meinel)
3250
3251
* Log errors from the smart server in the trace file, to make debugging
3252
test failures (and live failures!) easier. (Andrew Bennetts)
3253
3254
* The HTML version of the man page has been superceded by a more
3255
comprehensive manual called the Bazaar User Reference. This manual
3256
is completed generated from the online help topics. As part of this
3257
change, limited reStructuredText is now explicitly supported in help
3258
topics and command help with 'unnatural' markup being removed prior
3259
to display by the online help or inclusion in the man page.
3260
(Ian Clatworthy)
3261
3262
* HTML documentation now use files extension ``*.html``
3263
(Alexander Belchenko)
3264
3265
* The cache of ignore definitions is now cleared in WorkingTree.unlock()
3266
so that changes to .bzrignore aren't missed. (#129694, Daniel Watkins)
3267
3268
* ``bzr selftest --strict`` fails if there are any missing features or
3269
expected test failures. (Daniel Watkins, #111914)
3270
3271
* Link to registration survey added to README. (Ian Clatworthy)
3272
3273
* Windows standalone installer show link to registration survey
3274
when installation finished. (Alexander Belchenko)
3275
3276
LIBRARY API BREAKS:
3277
3278
* Deprecated dictionary ``bzrlib.option.SHORT_OPTIONS`` removed.
3279
Options are now required to provide a help string and it must
3280
comply with the style guide by being one or more sentences with an
3281
initial capital and final period. (Martin Pool)
3282
3283
* KnitIndex.get_parents now returns tuples. (Robert Collins)
3284
3285
* Ancient unused ``Repository.text_store`` attribute has been removed.
3286
(Robert Collins)
3287
3288
* The ``bzrlib.pack`` interface has changed to use tuples of bytestrings
3289
rather than just bytestrings, making it easier to represent multiple
3290
element names. As this interface was not used by any internal facilities
3291
since it was introduced in 0.18 no API compatibility is being preserved.
3292
The serialised form of these packs is identical with 0.18 when a single
3293
element tuple is in use. (Robert Collins)
3294
3295
INTERNALS:
3296
3297
* merge now uses ``iter_changes`` to calculate changes, which makes room for
3298
future performance increases. It is also more consistent with other
3299
operations that perform comparisons, and reduces reliance on
3300
Tree.inventory. (Aaron Bentley)
3301
3302
* Refactoring of transport classes connected to a remote server.
3303
ConnectedTransport is a new class that serves as a basis for all
3304
transports needing to connect to a remote server. transport.split_url
3305
have been deprecated, use the static method on the object instead. URL
3306
tests have been refactored too.
3307
(Vincent Ladeuil)
3308
3309
* Better connection sharing for ConnectedTransport objects.
3310
transport.get_transport() now accepts a 'possible_transports' parameter.
3311
If a newly requested transport can share a connection with one of the
3312
list, it will.
3313
(Vincent Ladeuil)
3314
3315
* Most functions now accept ``bzrlib.revision.NULL_REVISION`` to indicate
3316
the null revision, and consider using ``None`` for this purpose
3317
deprecated. (Aaron Bentley)
3318
3319
* New ``index`` module with abstract index functionality. This will be
3320
used during the planned changes in the repository layer. Currently the
3321
index layer provides a graph aware immutable index, a builder for the
3322
same index type to allow creating them, and finally a composer for
3323
such indices to allow the use of many indices in a single query. The
3324
index performance is not optimised, however the API is stable to allow
3325
development on top of the index. (Robert Collins)
3326
3327
* ``bzrlib.dirstate.cmp_by_dirs`` can be used to compare two paths by
3328
their directory sections. This is equivalent to comparing
3329
``path.split('/')``, only without having to split the paths.
3330
This has a Pyrex implementation available.
3331
(John Arbash Meinel)
3332
3333
* New transport decorator 'unlistable+' which disables the list_dir
3334
functionality for testing.
3335
3336
* Deprecated ``change_entry`` in transform.py. (Ian Clatworthy)
3337
3338
* RevisionTree.get_weave is now deprecated. Tree.plan_merge is now used
3339
for performing annotate-merge. (Aaron Bentley)
3340
3341
* New EmailMessage class to create email messages. (Adeodato Simó)
3342
3343
* Unused functions on the private interface KnitIndex have been removed.
3344
(Robert Collins)
3345
3346
* New ``knit.KnitGraphIndex`` which provides a ``KnitIndex`` layered on top
3347
of a ``index.GraphIndex``. (Robert Collins)
3348
3349
* New ``knit.KnitVersionedFile.iter_parents`` method that allows querying
3350
the parents of many knit nodes at once, reducing round trips to the
3351
underlying index. (Robert Collins)
3352
3353
* Graph now has an is_ancestor method, various bits use it.
3354
(Aaron Bentley)
3355
3356
* The ``-Dhpss`` flag now includes timing information. As well as
3357
logging when a new connection is opened. (John Arbash Meinel)
3358
3359
* ``bzrlib.pack.ContainerWriter`` now returns an offset, length tuple to
3360
callers when inserting data, allowing generation of readv style access
3361
during pack creation, without needing a separate pass across the output
3362
pack to gather such details. (Robert Collins)
3363
3364
* ``bzrlib.pack.make_readv_reader`` allows readv based access to pack
3365
files that are stored on a transport. (Robert Collins)
3366
3367
* New ``Repository.has_same_location`` method that reports if two
3368
repository objects refer to the same repository (although with some risk
3369
of false negatives). (Andrew Bennetts)
3370
3371
* InterTree.compare now passes require_versioned on correctly.
3372
(Marius Kruger)
3373
3374
* New methods on Repository - ``start_write_group``,
3375
``commit_write_group``, ``abort_write_group`` and ``is_in_write_group`` -
3376
which provide a clean hook point for transactional Repositories - ones
3377
where all the data for a fetch or commit needs to be made atomically
3378
available in one step. This allows the write lock to remain while making
3379
a series of data insertions. (e.g. data conversion). (Robert Collins)
3380
3381
* In ``bzrlib.knit`` the internal interface has been altered to use
3382
3-tuples (index, pos, length) rather than two-tuples (pos, length) to
3383
describe where data in a knit is, allowing knits to be split into
3384
many files. (Robert Collins)
3385
3386
* ``bzrlib.knit._KnitData`` split into cache management and physical access
3387
with two access classes - ``_PackAccess`` and ``_KnitAccess`` defined.
3388
The former provides access into a .pack file, and the latter provides the
3389
current production repository form of .knit files. (Robert Collins)
3390
3391
TESTING:
3392
3393
* Remove selftest ``--clean-output``, ``--numbered-dirs`` and
3394
``--keep-output`` options, which are obsolete now that tests
3395
are done within directories in $TMPDIR. (Martin Pool)
3396
3397
* The SSH_AUTH_SOCK environment variable is now reset to avoid
3398
interaction with any running ssh agents. (Jelmer Vernooij, #125955)
3399
3400
* run_bzr_subprocess handles parameters the same way as run_bzr:
3401
either a string or a list of strings should be passed as the first
3402
parameter. Varargs-style parameters are deprecated. (Aaron Bentley)

3418
* Do not suppress pipe errors, etc. in non-display commands
3419
(Alexander Belchenko, #87178)
3420
3421
* Display a useful error message when the user requests to annotate
3422
a file that is not present in the specified revision.
3423
(James Westby, #122656)
3424
3425
* Commands that use status flags now have a reference to 'help
3426

3427
3428
* Work around python-2.4.1 inhability to correctly parse the

* Fix handling of http code 400: Bad Request When issuing too many ranges.
3440
(Vincent Ladeuil, #115209)

3444
(Vincent Ladeuil, #120678)
3445
3446

3447
individually and as part of revision ranges.
3448
(Kent Gibson, #4663)
3449
3450
* Don't leave cruft behind when failing to acquire a lockdir.
3451
(Martin Pool, #109169)
3452
3453
* Don't use the '-f' strace option during tests.
3454
(Vincent Ladeuil, #102019).
3455
3456
* Warn when setting ``push_location`` to a value that will be masked by
3457
locations.conf. (Aaron Bentley, #122286)
3458
3459
* Fix commit ordering in corner case (Aaron Bentley, #94975)
3460
3461
* Make annotate behave in a non-ASCII world (Adeodato Simó).
3462
3463
IMPROVEMENTS:
3464
3465
* The --lsprof-file option now dumps a text rendering of the profiling
3466
information if the filename ends in ".txt". It will also convert the
3467
profiling information to a format suitable for KCacheGrind if the
3468
output filename ends in ".callgrind". Fixes to the lsprofcalltree
3469
conversion process by Jean Paul Calderone and Itamar were also merged.
3470
See http://ddaa.net/blog/python/lsprof-calltree. (Ian Clatworthy)
3471
3472
* ``info`` now defaults to non-verbose mode, displaying only paths and
3473
abbreviated format info. ``info -v`` displays all the information
3474
formerly displayed by ``info``. (Aaron Bentley, Adeodato Simó)
3475
3476
* ``bzr missing`` now has better option names ``--this`` and ``--other``.
3477
(Elliot Murphy)
3478
3479
* The internal ``weave-list`` command has become ``versionedfile-list``,
3480
and now lists knits as well as weaves. (Aaron Bentley)
3481
3482
* Automatic merge base selection uses a faster algorithm that chooses
3483
better bases in criss-cross merge situations (Aaron Bentley)
3484
3485
* Progress reporting in ``commit`` has been improved. The various logical
3486
stages are now reported on as follows, namely:
3487
3488
* Collecting changes [Entry x/y] - Stage n/m
3489
* Saving data locally - Stage n/m
3490
* Uploading data to master branch - Stage n/m
3491
* Updating the working tree - Stage n/m
3492
* Running post commit hooks - Stage n/m
3493
3494
If there is no master branch, the 3rd stage is omitted and the total
3495
number of stages is adjusted accordingly.
3496
3497
Each hook that is run after commit is listed with a name (as hooks
3498
can be slow it is useful feedback).
3499
(Ian Clatworthy, Robert Collins)
3500
3501
* Various operations that are now faster due to avoiding unnecessary
3502
topological sorts. (Aaron Bentley)
3503
3504
* Make merge directives robust against broken bundles. (Aaron Bentley)
3505
3506
* The lsprof filename note is emitted via trace.note(), not standard
3507
output. (Aaron Bentley)
3508
3509
* ``bzrlib`` now exports explicit API compatibility information to assist
3510
library users and plugins. See the ``bzrlib.api`` module for details.
3511
(Robert Collins)
3512
3513
* Remove unnecessary lock probes when acquiring a lockdir.
3514
(Martin Pool)
3515
3516
* ``bzr --version`` now shows the location of the bzr log file, which
3517
is especially useful on Windows. (Martin Pool)
3518
3519
* -D now supports hooks to get debug tracing of hooks (though its currently
3520
minimal in nature). (Robert Collins)
3521
3522
* Long log format reports deltas on merge revisions.
3523
(John Arbash Meinel, Kent Gibson)
3524
3525
* Make initial push over ftp more resilient. (John Arbash Meinel)
3526
3527
* Print a summary of changes for update just like pull does.
3528
(Daniel Watkins, #113990)
3529
3530
* Add a -Dhpss option to trace smart protocol requests and responses.
3531
(Andrew Bennetts)
3532
3533
LIBRARY API BREAKS:
3534
3535
* Testing cleanups -
3536
``bzrlib.repository.RepositoryTestProviderAdapter`` has been moved
3537
to ``bzrlib.tests.repository_implementations``;
3538
``bzrlib.repository.InterRepositoryTestProviderAdapter`` has been moved
3539
to ``bzrlib.tests.interrepository_implementations``;
3540
``bzrlib.transport.TransportTestProviderAdapter`` has moved to
3541
``bzrlib.tests.test_transport_implementations``.
3542
``bzrlib.branch.BranchTestProviderAdapter`` has moved to
3543
``bzrlib.tests.branch_implementations``.
3544
``bzrlib.bzrdir.BzrDirTestProviderAdapter`` has moved to
3545
``bzrlib.tests.bzrdir_implementations``.
3546
``bzrlib.versionedfile.InterVersionedFileTestProviderAdapter`` has moved
3547
to ``bzrlib.tests.interversionedfile_implementations``.
3548
``bzrlib.store.revision.RevisionStoreTestProviderAdapter`` has moved to
3549
``bzrlib.tests.revisionstore_implementations``.
3550
``bzrlib.workingtree.WorkingTreeTestProviderAdapter`` has moved to
3551
``bzrlib.tests.workingtree_implementations``.
3552
These changes are an API break in the testing infrastructure only.
3553
(Robert Collins)
3554
3555
* Relocate TestCaseWithRepository to be more central. (Robert Collins)
3556
3557
* ``bzrlib.add.smart_add_tree`` will no longer perform glob expansion on
3558
win32. Callers of the function should do this and use the new
3559
``MutableTree.smart_add`` method instead. (Robert Collins)
3560
3561
* ``bzrlib.add.glob_expand_for_win32`` is now
3562
``bzrlib.win32utils.glob_expand``. (Robert Collins)
3563
3564
* ``bzrlib.add.FastPath`` is now private and moved to
3565
``bzrlib.mutabletree._FastPath``. (Robert Collins, Martin Pool)
3566
3567
* ``LockDir.wait`` removed. (Martin Pool)
3568
3569
* The ``SmartServer`` hooks API has changed for the ``server_started`` and
3570
``server_stopped`` hooks. The first parameter is now an iterable of
3571
backing URLs rather than a single URL. This is to reflect that many
3572
URLs may map to the external URL of the server. E.g. the server interally
3573
may have a chrooted URL but also the local file:// URL will be at the
3574
same location. (Robert Collins)
3575
3576
INTERNALS:
3577
3578
* New SMTPConnection class to unify email handling. (Adeodato Simó)
3579
3580
* Fix documentation of BzrError. (Adeodato Simó)
3581
3582
* Make BzrBadParameter an internal error. (Adeodato Simó)
3583
3584
* Remove use of 'assert False' to raise an exception unconditionally.
3585
(Martin Pool)
3586
3587
* Give a cleaner error when failing to decode knit index entry.
3588
(Martin Pool)
3589
3590
* TreeConfig would mistakenly search the top level when asked for options
3591
from a section. It now respects the section argument and only
3592
searches the specified section. (James Westby)
3593
3594
* Improve ``make api-docs`` output. (John Arbash Meinel)
3595
3596
* Use os.lstat rather than os.stat for osutils.make_readonly and
3597
osutils.make_writeable. This makes the difftools plugin more
3598
robust when dangling symlinks are found. (Elliot Murphy)
3599
3600
* New ``-Dlock`` option to log (to ~/.bzr.log) information on when
3601
lockdirs are taken or released. (Martin Pool)
3602
3603
* ``bzrlib`` Hooks are now nameable using ``Hooks.name_hook``. This
3604
allows a nicer UI when hooks are running as the current hook can
3605
be displayed. (Robert Collins)
3606
3607
* ``Transport.get`` has had its interface made more clear for ease of use.
3608
Retrieval of a directory must now fail with either 'PathError' at open
3609
time, or raise 'ReadError' on a read. (Robert Collins)
3610
3611
* New method ``_maybe_expand_globs`` on the ``Command`` class for
3612
dealing with unexpanded glob lists - e.g. on the win32 platform. This
3613
was moved from ``bzrlib.add._prepare_file_list``. (Robert Collins)
3614
3615
* ``bzrlib.add.smart_add`` and ``bzrlib.add.smart_add_tree`` are now
3616
deprecated in favour of ``MutableTree.smart_add``. (Robert Collins,
3617
Martin Pool)
3618
3619
* New method ``external_url`` on Transport for obtaining the url to
3620
hand to external processes. (Robert Collins)
3621
3622
* Teach windows installers to build pyrex/C extensions.
3623
(Alexander Belchenko)
3624
3625
TESTING:
3626
3627
* Removed the ``--keep-output`` option from selftest and clean up test
3628
directories as they're used. This reduces the IO load from
3629
running the test suite and cuts the time by about half.
3630
(Andrew Bennetts, Martin Pool)
3631
3632
* Add scenarios as a public attribute on the TestAdapter classes to allow
3633
modification of the generated scenarios before adaption and easier
3634
testing. (Robert Collins)
3635
3636
* New testing support class ``TestScenarioApplier`` which multiplies
3637
out a single teste by a list of supplied scenarios. (RobertCollins)
3638
3639
* Setting ``repository_to_test_repository`` on a repository_implementations
3640
test will cause it to be called during repository creation, allowing the
3641
testing of repository classes which are not based around the Format
3642
concept. For example a repository adapter can be tested in this manner,
3643
by altering the repository scenarios to include a scenario that sets this
3644
attribute during the test parameterisation in
3645
``bzrlib.tests.repository.repository_implementations``. (Robert Collins)
3646
3647
* Clean up many of the APIs for blackbox testing of Bazaar. The standard
3648
interface is now self.run_bzr. The command to run can be passed as
3649
either a list of parameters, a string containing the command line, or
3650
(deprecated) varargs parameters. (Martin Pool)
3651
3652
* The base TestCase now isolates tests from -D parameters by clearing
3653
``debug.debug_flags`` and restores it afterwards. (Robert Collins)
3654
3655
* Add a relpath parameter to get_transport methods in test framework to
3656
avoid useless cloning.

NOTES WHEN UPGRADING:
3676
3677
* The kind() and is_executable() APIs on the WorkingTree interface no
3678
longer implicitly (read) locks and unlocks the tree. This *might*
3679
impact some plug-ins and tools using this part of the API. If you find
3680
an issue that may be caused by this change, please let us know,
3681
particularly the plug-in/tool maintainer. If encountered, the API
3682
fix is to surround kind() and is_executable() calls with lock_read()
3683
and unlock() like so::
3684
3685
work_tree.lock_read()
3686
try:
3687
kind = work_tree.kind(...)
3688
finally:
3689
work_tree.unlock()
3690
3691
INTERNALS:
3692
* Rework of LogFormatter API to provide beginning/end of log hooks and to
3693
encapsulate the details of the revision to be logged in a LogRevision
3694
object.
3695
In long log formats, merge revision ids are only shown when --show-ids
3696
is specified, and are labelled "revision-id:", as per mainline
3697
revisions, instead of "merged:". (Kent Gibson)
3698
3699
* New ``BranchBuilder`` API which allows the construction of particular
3700
histories quickly. Useful for testing and potentially other applications
3701
too. (Robert Collins)
3702
3703
IMPROVEMENTS:
3704
3705
* There are two new help topics, working-trees and repositories that
3706
attempt to explain these concepts. (James Westby, John Arbash Meinel,
3707
Aaron Bentley)
3708
3709
* Added ``bzr log --limit`` to report a limited number of revisions.
3710
(Kent Gibson, #3659)
3711
3712
* Revert does not try to preserve file contents that were originally
3713
produced by reverting to a historical revision. (Aaron Bentley)
3714
3715
* ``bzr log --short`` now includes ``[merge]`` for revisions which
3716
have more than one parent. This is a small improvement to help
3717
understanding what changes have occurred
3718
(John Arbash Meinel, #83887)
3719
3720
* TreeTransform avoids many renames when contructing large trees,
3721
improving speed. 3.25x speedups have been observed for construction of
3722
kernel-sized-trees, and checkouts are 1.28x faster. (Aaron Bentley)
3723
3724
* Commit on large trees is now faster. In my environment, a commit of
3725
a small change to the Mozilla tree (55k files) has dropped from
3726
66 seconds to 32 seconds. For a small tree of 600 files, commit of a
3727
small change is 33% faster. (Ian Clatworthy)
3728
3729
* New --create-prefix option to bzr init, like for push. (Daniel Watkins,
3730
#56322)
3731
3732
BUGFIXES:
3733
3734
* ``bzr push`` should only connect to the remote location one time.
3735
We have been connecting 3 times because we forget to pass around
3736
the Transport object. This adds ``BzrDir.clone_on_transport()``, so
3737
that we can pass in the Transport that we already have.
3738
(John Arbash Meinel, #75721)
3739
3740
* ``DirState.set_state_from_inventory()`` needs to properly order
3741
based on split paths, not just string paths.
3742
(John Arbash Meinel, #115947)
3743
3744
* Let TestUIFactoy encode the password prompt with its own stdout.
3745
(Vincent Ladeuil, #110204)
3746
3747
* pycurl should take use the range header that takes the range hint
3748
into account.
3749
(Vincent Ladeuil, #112719)
3750
3751
* WorkingTree4.get_file_sha1 no longer raises an exception when invoked
3752
on a missing file. (Aaron Bentley, #118186)
3753
3754
* WorkingTree.remove works correctly with tree references, and when pwd is
3755
not the tree root. (Aaron Bentley)
3756
3757
* Merge no longer fails when a file is renamed in one tree and deleted
3758
in the other. (Aaron Bentley, #110279)
3759
3760
* ``revision-info`` now accepts dotted revnos, doesn't require a tree,
3761
and defaults to the last revision (Matthew Fuller, #90048)
3762
3763
* Tests no longer fail when BZR_REMOTE_PATH is set in the environment.
3764
(Daniel Watkins, #111958)
3765
3766
* ``bzr branch -r revid:foo`` can be used to branch any revision in
3767
your repository. (Previously Branch6 only supported revisions in your
3768
mainline). (John Arbash Meinel, #115343)
3769
3770
bzr 0.16 2007-05-07
3771
--------------------
3772
3773
BUGFIXES:
3774
3775
* Handle when you have 2 directories with similar names, but one has a
3776
hyphen. (``'abc'`` versus ``'abc-2'``). The WT4._iter_changes
3777
iterator was using direct comparison and ``'abc/a'`` sorts after
3778
``'abc-2'``, but ``('abc', 'a')`` sorts before ``('abc-2',)``.
3779
(John Arbash Meinel, #111227)
3780
3781
* Handle when someone renames a file on disk without telling bzr.
3782
Previously we would report the first file as missing, but not show
3783
the new unknown file. (John Arbash Meinel, #111288)
3784
3785
* Avoid error when running hooks after pulling into or pushing from
3786
a branch bound to a smartserver branch. (Martin Pool, #111968)
3787
3788
IMPROVEMENTS:
3789
3790
* Move developer documentation to doc/developers/. This reduces clutter in
3791
the root of the source tree and allows HACKING to be split into multiple
3792
files. (Robert Collins, Alexander Belchenko)
3793
3794
* Clean up the ``WorkingTree4._iter_changes()`` internal loops as well as
3795
``DirState.update_entry()``. This optimizes the core logic for ``bzr
3796
diff`` and ``bzr status`` significantly improving the speed of
3797
both. (John Arbash Meinel)
3798
3799
bzr 0.16rc2 2007-04-30
3800
-----------------------
3801
3802
BUGFIXES:
3803
3804
* Handle the case when you delete a file, and then rename another file
3805
on top of it. Also handle the case of ``bzr rm --keep foo``. ``bzr
3806
status`` should show the removed file and an unknown file in its
3807
place. (John Arbash Meinel, #109993)
3808
3809
* Bundles properly read and write revision properties that have an
3810
empty value. And when the value is not ASCII.
3811
(John Arbash Meinel, #109613)
3812
3813
* Fix the bzr commit message to be in text mode.
3814
(Alexander Belchenko, #110901)
3815
3816
* Also handle when you rename a file and create a file where it used
3817
to be. (John Arbash Meinel, #110256)
3818
3819
* ``WorkingTree4._iter_changes`` should not descend into unversioned
3820
directories. (John Arbash Meinel, #110399)
3821
3822
bzr 0.16rc1 2007-04-26
3823
-----------------------
3824
3825
NOTES WHEN UPGRADING:
3826
3827
* ``bzr remove`` and ``bzr rm`` will now remove the working file, if
3828
it could be recovered again.
3829
This has been done for consistency with svn and the unix rm command.
3830
The old ``remove`` behaviour has been retained in the new option
3831
``bzr remove --keep``, which will just stop versioning the file,
3832
but not delete it.
3833
``bzr remove --force`` have been added which will always delete the
3834
files.
3835
``bzr remove`` is also more verbose.
3836
(Marius Kruger, #82602)
3837
3838
IMPROVEMENTS:
3839
3840
* Merge directives can now be supplied as input to `merge` and `pull`,
3841
like bundles can. (Aaron Bentley)
3842
3843
* Sending the SIGQUIT signal to bzr, which can be done on Unix by
3844
pressing Control-Backslash, drops bzr into a debugger. Type ``'c'``
3845
to continue. This can be disabled by setting the environment variable
3846
``BZR_SIGQUIT_PDB=0``. (Martin Pool)
3847
3848
* selftest now supports --list-only to list tests instead of running
3849
them. (Ian Clatworthy)
3850
3851
* selftest now supports --exclude PATTERN (or -x PATTERN) to exclude
3852
tests with names that match that regular expression.
3853
(Ian Clatworthy, #102679)
3854
3855
* selftest now supports --randomize SEED to run tests in a random order.
3856
SEED is typically the value 'now' meaning 'use the current time'.
3857
(Ian Clatworthy, #102686)
3858
3859
* New option ``--fixes`` to commit, which stores bug fixing annotations as
3860
revision properties. Built-in support for Launchpad, Debian, Trac and
3861
Bugzilla bug trackers. (Jonathan Lange, James Henstridge, Robert Collins)
3862
3863
* New API, ``bzrlib.bugtracker.tracker_registry``, for adding support for
3864
other bug trackers to ``fixes``. (Jonathan Lange, James Henstridge,
3865
Robert Collins)
3866
3867
* ``selftest`` has new short options ``-f`` and ``-1``. (Martin
3868
Pool)
3869
3870
* ``bzrlib.tsort.MergeSorter`` optimizations. Change the inner loop
3871
into using local variables instead of going through ``self._var``.
3872
Improves the time to ``merge_sort`` a 10k revision graph by
3873
approximately 40% (~700->400ms). (John Arbash Meinel)
3874
3875
* ``make docs`` now creates a man page at ``man1/bzr.1`` fixing bug 107388.
3876
(Robert Collins)
3877
3878
* ``bzr help`` now provides cross references to other help topics using
3879
the _see_also facility on command classes. Likewise the bzr_man
3880
documentation, and the bzr.1 man page also include this information.
3881
(Robert Collins)
3882
3883
* Tags are now included in logs, that use the long log formatter.
3884
(Erik Bågfors, Alexander Belchenko)
3885
3886
* ``bzr help`` provides a clearer message when a help topic cannot be
3887
found. (Robert Collins, #107656)
3888
3889
* ``bzr help`` now accepts optional prefixes for command help. The help
3890
for all commands can now be found at ``bzr help commands/COMMANDNAME``
3891
as well as ``bzr help COMMANDNAME`` (which only works for commands
3892
where the name is not the same as a more general help topic).
3893
(Robert Collins)
3894
3895
* ``bzr help PLUGINNAME`` will now return the module docstring from the
3896
plugin PLUGINNAME. (Robert Collins, #50408)
3897
3898
* New help topic ``urlspec`` which lists the availables transports.
3899
(Goffredo Baroncelli)
3900
3901
* doc/server.txt updated to document the default bzr:// port
3902
and also update the blurb about the hpss' current status.
3903
(Robert Collins, #107125).
3904
3905
* ``bzr serve`` now listens on interface 0.0.0.0 by default, making it
3906
serve out to the local LAN (and anyone in the world that can reach the
3907
machine running ``bzr serve``. (Robert Collins, #98918)
3908
3909
* A new smart server protocol version has been added. It prefixes requests
3910
and responses with an explicit version identifier so that future protocol
3911
revisions can be dealt with gracefully. (Andrew Bennetts, Robert Collins)
3912
3913
* The bzr protocol version 2 indicates success or failure in every response
3914
without depending on particular commands encoding that consistently,
3915
allowing future client refactorings to be much more robust about error
3916
handling. (Robert Collins, Martin Pool, Andrew Bennetts)
3917
3918
* The smart protocol over HTTP client has been changed to always post to the
3919
same ``.bzr/smart`` URL under the original location when it can. This allows
3920
HTTP servers to only have to pass URLs ending in .bzr/smart to the smart
3921
server handler, and not arbitrary ``.bzr/*/smart`` URLs. (Andrew Bennetts)
3922
3923
* digest authentication is now supported for proxies and HTTP by the urllib
3924
based http implementation. Tested against Apache 2.0.55 and Squid
3925
2.6.5. Basic and digest authentication are handled coherently for HTTP
3926
and proxy: if the user is provided in the url (bzr command line for HTTP,
3927
proxy environment variables for proxies), the password is prompted for
3928
(only once). If the password is provided, it is taken into account. Once
3929
the first authentication is successful, all further authentication
3930
roundtrips are avoided by preventively setting the right authentication
3931
header(s).
3932
(Vincent Ladeuil).
3933
3934
INTERNALS:
3935
3936
* bzrlib API compatability with 0.8 has been dropped, cleaning up some
3937
code paths. (Robert Collins)
3938
3939
* Change the format of chroot urls so that they can be safely manipulated
3940
by generic url utilities without causing the resulting urls to have
3941
escaped the chroot. A side effect of this is that creating a chroot
3942
requires an explicit action using a ChrootServer.
3943
(Robert Collins, Andrew Bennetts)
3944
3945
* Deprecate ``Branch.get_root_id()`` because branches don't have root ids,
3946
rather than fixing bug #96847. (Aaron Bentley)
3947
3948
* ``WorkingTree.apply_inventory_delta`` provides a better alternative to
3949
``WorkingTree._write_inventory``. (Aaron Bentley)
3950
3951
* Convenience method ``TestCase.expectFailure`` ensures that known failures
3952
do not silently pass. (Aaron Bentley)
3953
3954
* ``Transport.local_abspath`` now raises ``NotLocalUrl`` rather than
3955
``TransportNotPossible``. (Martin Pool, Ian Clatworthy)
3956
3957
* New SmartServer hooks facility. There are two initial hooks documented
3958
in ``bzrlib.transport.smart.SmartServerHooks``. The two initial hooks allow
3959
plugins to execute code upon server startup and shutdown.
3960
(Robert Collins).
3961
3962
* SmartServer in standalone mode will now close its listening socket
3963
when it stops, rather than waiting for garbage collection. This primarily
3964
fixes test suite hangs when a test tries to connect to a shutdown server.
3965
It may also help improve behaviour when dealing with a server running
3966
on a specific port (rather than dynamically assigned ports).
3967
(Robert Collins)
3968
3969
* Move most SmartServer code into a new package, bzrlib/smart.
3970
bzrlib/transport/remote.py contains just the Transport classes that used
3971
to be in bzrlib/transport/smart.py. (Andrew Bennetts)
3972
3973
* urllib http implementation avoid roundtrips associated with
3974
401 (and 407) errors once the authentication succeeds.
3975
(Vincent Ladeuil).
3976
3977
* urlib http now supports querying the user for a proxy password if
3978
needed. Realm is shown in the prompt for both HTTP and proxy
3979
authentication when the user is required to type a password.
3980
(Vincent Ladeuil).
3981
3982
* Renamed SmartTransport (and subclasses like SmartTCPTransport) to
3983
RemoteTransport (and subclasses to RemoteTCPTransport, etc). This is more
3984
consistent with its new home in ``bzrlib/transport/remote.py``, and because
3985
it's not really a "smart" transport, just one that does file operations
3986
via remote procedure calls. (Andrew Bennetts)
3987
3988
* The ``lock_write`` method of ``LockableFiles``, ``Repository`` and
3989
``Branch`` now accept a ``token`` keyword argument, so that separate
3990
instances of those objects can share a lock if it has the right token.
3991
(Andrew Bennetts, Robert Collins)
3992
3993
* New method ``get_branch_reference`` on ``BzrDir`` allows the detection of
3994
branch references - which the smart server component needs.
3995
3996
* The Repository API ``make_working_trees`` is now permitted to return
3997
False when ``set_make_working_trees`` is not implemented - previously
3998
an unimplemented ``set_make_working_trees`` implied the result True
3999
from ``make_working_trees``. This has been changed to accomodate the
4000
smart server, where it does not make sense (at this point) to ever
4001
make working trees by default. (Robert Collins)
4002
4003
* Command objects can now declare related help topics by having _see_also
4004
set to a list of related topic. (Robert Collins)
4005
4006
* ``bzrlib.help`` now delegates to the Command class for Command specific
4007
help. (Robert Collins)
4008
4009
* New class ``TransportListRegistry``, derived from the Registry class, which
4010
simplifies tracking the available Transports. (Goffredo Baroncelli)
4011
4012
* New function ``Branch.get_revision_id_to_revno_map`` which will
4013
return a dictionary mapping revision ids to dotted revnos. Since
4014
dotted revnos are defined in the context of the branch tip, it makes
4015
sense to generate them from a ``Branch`` object.
4016
(John Arbash Meinel)
4017
4018
* Fix the 'Unprintable error' message display to use the repr of the
4019
exception that prevented printing the error because the str value
4020
for it is often not useful in debugging (e.g. KeyError('foo') has a
4021
str() of 'foo' but a repr of 'KeyError('foo')' which is much more
4022
useful. (Robert Collins)
4023
4024
* ``urlutils.normalize_url`` now unescapes unreserved characters, such as "~".
4025
(Andrew Bennetts)
4026
4027
BUGFIXES:
4028
4029
* Don't fail bundle selftest if email has 'two' embedded.
4030
(Ian Clatworthy, #98510)
4031
4032
* Remove ``--verbose`` from ``bzr bundle``. It didn't work anyway.
4033
(Robert Widhopf-Fenk, #98591)
4034
4035
* Remove ``--basis`` from the checkout/branch commands - it didn't work
4036
properly and is no longer beneficial.
4037
(Robert Collins, #53675, #43486)
4038
4039
* Don't produce encoding error when adding duplicate files.
4040
(Aaron Bentley)
4041
4042
* Fix ``bzr log <file>`` so it only logs the revisions that changed
4043
the file, and does it faster.
4044
(Kent Gibson, John Arbash Meinel, #51980, #69477)
4045
4046
* Fix ``InterDirstateTre._iter_changes`` to handle when we come across
4047
an empty versioned directory, which now has files in it.
4048
(John Arbash Meinel, #104257)
4049
4050
* Teach ``common_ancestor`` to shortcut when the tip of one branch is
4051
inside the ancestry of the other. Saves a lot of graph processing
4052
(with an ancestry of 16k revisions, ``bzr merge ../already-merged``
4053
changes from 2m10s to 13s). (John Arbash Meinel, #103757)
4054
4055
* Fix ``show_diff_trees`` to handle the case when a file is modified,
4056
and the containing directory is renamed. (The file path is different
4057
in this versus base, but it isn't marked as a rename).
4058
(John Arbash Meinel, #103870)
4059
4060
* FTP now works even when the FTP server does not support atomic rename.
4061
(Aaron Bentley, #89436)
4062
4063
* Correct handling in bundles and merge directives of timezones with
4064
that are not an integer number of hours offset from UTC. Always
4065
represent the epoch time in UTC to avoid problems with formatting
4066
earlier times on win32. (Martin Pool, Alexander Belchenko, John
4067
Arbash Meinel)
4068
4069
* Typo in the help for ``register-branch`` fixed. (Robert Collins, #96770)
4070
4071
* "dirstate" and "dirstate-tags" formats now produce branches compatible
4072
with old versions of bzr. (Aaron Bentley, #107168))
4073
4074
* Handle moving a directory when children have been added, removed,
4075
and renamed. (John Arbash Meinel, #105479)
4076
4077
* Don't preventively use basic authentication for proxy before receiving a
4078
407 error. Otherwise people willing to use other authentication schemes
4079
may expose their password in the clear (or nearly). This add one
4080
roundtrip in case basic authentication should be used, but plug the
4081
security hole.
4082
(Vincent Ladeuil)
4083
4084
* Handle http and proxy digest authentication.
4085
(Vincent Ladeuil, #94034).
4086
4087
TESTING:
4088
4089
* Added ``bzrlib.strace.strace`` which will strace a single callable and
4090
return a StraceResult object which contains just the syscalls involved
4091
in running it. (Robert Collins)
4092
4093
* New test method ``reduceLockdirTimeout`` to drop the default (ui-centric)
4094
default time down to one suitable for tests. (Andrew Bennetts)
4095
4096
* Add new ``vfs_transport_factory`` attribute on tests which provides the
4097
common vfs backing for both the readonly and readwrite transports.
4098
This allows the RemoteObject tests to back onto local disk or memory,
4099
and use the existing ``transport_server`` attribute all tests know about
4100
to be the smart server transport. This in turn allows tests to
4101
differentiate between 'transport to access the branch', and
4102
'transport which is a VFS' - which matters in Remote* tests.
4103
(Robert Collins, Andrew Bennetts)
4104
4105
* The ``make_branch_and_tree`` method for tests will now create a
4106
lightweight checkout for the tree if the ``vfs_transport_factory`` is not
4107
a LocalURLServer. (Robert Collins, Andrew Bennetts)
4108
4109
* Branch implementation tests have been audited to ensure that all urls
4110
passed to Branch APIs use proper urls, except when local-disk paths
4111
are intended. This is so that tests correctly access the test transport
4112
which is often not equivalent to local disk in Remote* tests. As part
4113
of this many tests were adjusted to remove dependencies on local disk
4114
access.
4115
(Robert Collins, Andrew Bennetts)
4116
4117
* Mark bzrlib.tests and bzrlib.tests.TestUtil as providing assertFOO helper
4118
functions by adding a ``__unittest`` global attribute. (Robert Collins,
4119
Andrew Bennetts, Martin Pool, Jonathan Lange)
4120
4121
* Refactored proxy and authentication handling to simplify the
4122
implementation of new auth schemes for both http and proxy.

4146
IMPROVEMENTS:
4147
4148
* HTTP redirections are now taken into account when a branch (or a
4149
bundle) is accessed for the first time. A message is issued at each
4150
redirection to inform the user. In the past, http redirections were
4151
silently followed for each request which significantly degraded the
4152
performances. The http redirections are not followed anymore by
4153
default, instead a RedirectRequested exception is raised. For bzrlib
4154
users needing to follow http redirections anyway,
4155
``bzrlib.transport.do_catching_redirections`` provide an easy transition
4156
path. (vila)
4157
4158
INTERNALS:
4159
4160
* Added ``ReadLock.temporary_write_lock()`` to allow upgrading an OS read
4161
lock to an OS write lock. Linux can do this without unlocking, Win32
4162
needs to unlock in between. (John Arbash Meinel)
4163
4164
* New parameter ``recommend_upgrade`` to ``BzrDir.open_workingtree``
4165
to silence (when false) warnings about opening old formats.
4166
(Martin Pool)
4167
4168
* Fix minor performance regression with bzr-0.15 on pre-dirstate
4169
trees. (We were reading the working inventory too many times).
4170
(John Arbash Meinel)
4171
4172
* Remove ``Branch.get_transaction()`` in favour of a simple cache of
4173
``revision_history``. Branch subclasses should override
4174
``_gen_revision_history`` rather than ``revision_history`` to make use of
4175
this cache, and call ``_clear_revision_history_cache`` and
4176
``_cache_revision_history`` at appropriate times. (Andrew Bennetts)
4177
4178
BUGFIXES:
4179
4180
* Take ``smtp_server`` from user config into account.
4181
(vila, #92195)
4182
4183
* Restore Unicode filename handling for versioned and unversioned files.
4184
(John Arbash Meinel, #92608)
4185
4186
* Don't fail during ``bzr commit`` if a file is marked removed, and
4187
the containing directory is auto-removed. (John Arbash Meinel, #93681)
4188
4189
* ``bzr status FILENAME`` failed on Windows because of an uncommon
4190
errno. (``ERROR_DIRECTORY == 267 != ENOTDIR``).
4191
(Wouter van Heyst, John Arbash Meinel, #90819)
4192
4193
* ``bzr checkout source`` should create a local branch in the same
4194
format as source. (John Arbash Meinel, #93854)
4195
4196
* ``bzr commit`` with a kind change was failing to update the
4197
last-changed-revision for directories. The
4198
InventoryDirectory._unchanged only looked at the ``parent_id`` and name,
4199
ignoring the fact that the kind could have changed, too.
4200
(John Arbash Meinel, #90111)
4201
4202
* ``bzr mv dir/subdir other`` was incorrectly updating files inside
4203
the directory. So that there was a chance it would break commit,
4204
etc. (John Arbash Meinel, #94037)
4205
4206
* Correctly handles mutiple permanent http redirections.
4207

4209
bzr 0.15rc2 2007-03-14
4210
-----------------------
4211
4212
NOTES WHEN UPGRADING:
4213
4214
* Release 0.15rc2 of bzr changes the ``bzr init-repo`` command to
4215
default to ``--trees`` instead of ``--no-trees``.
4216
Existing shared repositories are not affected.
4217
4218
IMPROVEMENTS:
4219
4220
* New ``merge-directive`` command to generate machine- and human-readable
4221
merge requests. (Aaron Bentley)
4222
4223
* New ``submit:`` revision specifier makes it easy to diff against the
4224
common ancestor with the submit location (Aaron Bentley)
4225
4226
* Added support for Putty's SSH implementation. (Dmitry Vasiliev)
4227
4228
* Added ``bzr status --versioned`` to report only versioned files,
4229
not unknowns. (Kent Gibson)
4230
4231
* Merge now autodetects the correct line-ending style for its conflict
4232
markers. (Aaron Bentley)
4233
4234
INTERNALS:
4235
4236
* Refactored SSH vendor registration into SSHVendorManager class.
4237
(Dmitry Vasiliev)
4238
4239
BUGFIXES:
4240
4241
* New ``--numbered-dirs`` option to ``bzr selftest`` to use
4242
numbered dirs for TestCaseInTempDir. This is default behavior
4243
on Windows. Anyone can force named dirs on Windows
4244
with ``--no-numbered-dirs``. (Alexander Belchenko)
4245
4246
* Fix ``RevisionSpec_revid`` to handle the Unicode strings passed in
4247
from the command line. (Marien Zwart, #90501)
4248
4249
* Fix ``TreeTransform._iter_changes`` when both the source and
4250
destination are missing. (Aaron Bentley, #88842)
4251
4252
* Fix commit of merges with symlinks in dirstate trees.
4253
(Marien Zwart)
4254
4255
* Switch the ``bzr init-repo`` default from --no-trees to --trees.
4256
(Wouter van Heyst, #53483)

4259
bzr 0.15rc1 2007-03-07
4260
-----------------------
4261
4262
SURPRISES:
4263
4264
* The default disk format has changed. Please run 'bzr upgrade' in your
4265
working trees to upgrade. This new default is compatible for network
4266
operations, but not for local operations. That is, if you have two
4267
versions of bzr installed locally, after upgrading you can only use the
4268
bzr 0.15 version. This new default does not enable tags or nested-trees
4269
as they are incompatible with bzr versions before 0.15 over the network.
4270
4271
* For users of bzrlib: Two major changes have been made to the working tree
4272
api in bzrlib. The first is that many methods and attributes, including
4273
the inventory attribute, are no longer valid for use until one of
4274
``lock_read``/``lock_write``/``lock_tree_write`` has been called,
4275
and become invalid again after unlock is called. This has been done
4276
to improve performance and correctness as part of the dirstate
4277
development.
4278
(Robert Collins, John A Meinel, Martin Pool, and others).
4279
4280
* For users of bzrlib: The attribute 'tree.inventory' should be considered
4281
readonly. Previously it was possible to directly alter this attribute, or
4282
its contents, and have the tree notice this. This has been made
4283
unsupported - it may work in some tree formats, but in the newer dirstate
4284
format such actions will have no effect and will be ignored, or even
4285
cause assertions. All operations possible can still be carried out by a
4286
combination of the tree API, and the bzrlib.transform API. (Robert
4287
Collins, John A Meinel, Martin Pool, and others).
4288
4289
IMPROVEMENTS:
4290
4291
* Support for OS Windows 98. Also .bzr.log on any windows system
4292
saved in My Documents folder. (Alexander Belchenko)
4293
4294
* ``bzr mv`` enhanced to support already moved files.
4295
In the past the mv command would have failed if the source file doesn't
4296
exist. In this situation ``bzr mv`` would now detect that the file has
4297
already moved and update the repository accordingly, if the target file
4298
does exist.
4299
A new option ``--after`` has been added so that if two files already
4300
exist, you could notify Bazaar that you have moved a (versioned) file
4301
and replaced it with another. Thus in this case ``bzr move --after``
4302
will only update the Bazaar identifier.
4303
(Steffen Eichenberg, Marius Kruger)
4304
4305
* ``ls`` now works on treeless branches and remote branches.
4306
(Aaron Bentley)
4307
4308
* ``bzr help global-options`` describes the global options.
4309
(Aaron Bentley)
4310
4311
* ``bzr pull --overwrite`` will now correctly overwrite checkouts.
4312
(Robert Collins)
4313
4314
* Files are now allowed to change kind (e.g. from file to symlink).
4315
Supported by ``commit``, ``revert`` and ``status``
4316
(Aaron Bentley)
4317
4318
* ``inventory`` and ``unknowns`` hidden in favour of ``ls``
4319
(Aaron Bentley)
4320
4321
* ``bzr help checkouts`` descibes what checkouts are and some possible
4322
uses of them. (James Westby, Aaron Bentley)
4323
4324
* A new ``-d`` option to push, pull and merge overrides the default
4325
directory. (Martin Pool)
4326
4327
* Branch format 6: smaller, and potentially faster than format 5. Supports
4328
``append_history_only`` mode, where the log view and revnos do not change,
4329
except by being added to. Stores policy settings in
4330
".bzr/branch/branch.conf".
4331
4332
* ``append_only`` branches: Format 6 branches may be configured so that log
4333
view and revnos are always consistent. Either create the branch using
4334
"bzr init --append-revisions-only" or edit the config file as descriped
4335
in docs/configuration.txt.
4336
4337
* rebind: Format 6 branches retain the last-used bind location, so if you
4338
"bzr unbind", you can "bzr bind" to bind to the previously-selected
4339
bind location.
4340
4341
* Builtin tags support, created and deleted by the ``tag`` command and
4342
stored in the branch. Tags can be accessed with the revisionspec
4343
``-rtag:``, and listed with ``bzr tags``. Tags are not versioned
4344
at present. Tags require a network incompatible upgrade. To perform this
4345
upgrade, run ``bzr upgrade --dirstate-tags`` in your branch and
4346
repositories. (Martin Pool)
4347
4348
* The ``bzr://`` transport now has a well-known port number, 4155,
4349
which it will use by default. (Andrew Bennetts, Martin Pool)
4350
4351
* Bazaar now looks for user-installed plugins before looking for site-wide
4352
plugins. (Jonathan Lange)
4353
4354
* ``bzr resolve`` now detects and marks resolved text conflicts.
4355
(Aaron Bentley)
4356
4357
INTERNALS:
4358
4359
* Internally revision ids and file ids are now passed around as utf-8
4360
bytestrings, rather than treating them as Unicode strings. This has
4361
performance benefits for Knits, since we no longer need to decode the
4362
revision id for each line of content, nor for each entry in the index.
4363
This will also help with the future dirstate format.
4364
(John Arbash Meinel)
4365
4366
* Reserved ids (any revision-id ending in a colon) are rejected by
4367
versionedfiles, repositories, branches, and working trees
4368
(Aaron Bentley)
4369
4370
* Minor performance improvement by not creating a ProgressBar for
4371
every KnitIndex we create. (about 90ms for a bzr.dev tree)
4372
(John Arbash Meinel)
4373
4374
* New easier to use Branch hooks facility. There are five initial hooks,
4375
all documented in bzrlib.branch.BranchHooks.__init__ - ``'set_rh'``,
4376
``'post_push'``, ``'post_pull'``, ``'post_commit'``,
4377
``'post_uncommit'``. These hooks fire after the matching operation
4378
on a branch has taken place, and were originally added for the
4379
branchrss plugin. (Robert Collins)
4380
4381
* New method ``Branch.push()`` which should be used when pushing from a
4382
branch as it makes performance and policy decisions to match the UI
4383
level command ``push``. (Robert Collins).
4384
4385
* Add a new method ``Tree.revision_tree`` which allows access to cached
4386
trees for arbitrary revisions. This allows the in development dirstate
4387
tree format to provide access to the callers to cached copies of
4388
inventory data which are cheaper to access than inventories from the
4389
repository.
4390
(Robert Collins, Martin Pool)
4391
4392
* New ``Branch.last_revision_info`` method, this is being done to allow
4393
optimization of requests for both the number of revisions and the last
4394
revision of a branch with smartservers and potentially future branch
4395
formats. (Wouter van Heyst, Robert Collins)
4396
4397
* Allow ``'import bzrlib.plugins.NAME'`` to work when the plugin NAME has not
4398
yet been loaded by ``load_plugins()``. This allows plugins to depend on each
4399
other for code reuse without requiring users to perform file-renaming
4400
gymnastics. (Robert Collins)
4401
4402
* New Repository method ``'gather_stats'`` for statistic data collection.
4403
This is expected to grow to cover a number of related uses mainly
4404
related to bzr info. (Robert Collins)
4405
4406
* Log formatters are now managed with a registry.
4407
``log.register_formatter`` continues to work, but callers accessing
4408
the FORMATTERS dictionary directly will not.
4409
4410
* Allow a start message to be passed to the ``edit_commit_message``
4411
function. This will be placed in the message offered to the user
4412
for editing above the separator. It allows a template commit message
4413
to be used more easily. (James Westby)
4414
4415
* ``GPGStrategy.sign()`` will now raise ``BzrBadParameterUnicode`` if
4416
you pass a Unicode string rather than an 8-bit string. Callers need
4417
to be updated to encode first. (John Arbash Meinel)
4418
4419
* Branch.push, pull, merge now return Result objects with information
4420
about what happened, rather than a scattering of various methods. These
4421
are also passed to the post hooks. (Martin Pool)
4422
4423
* File formats and architecture is in place for managing a forest of trees
4424
in bzr, and splitting up existing trees into smaller subtrees, and
4425
finally joining trees to make a larger tree. This is the first iteration
4426
of this support, and the user-facing aspects still require substantial
4427
work. If you wish to experiment with it, use ``bzr upgrade
4428
--dirstate-with-subtree`` in your working trees and repositories.
4429
You can use the hidden commands ``split`` and ``join`` and to create
4430
and manipulate nested trees, but please consider using the nested-trees
4431
branch, which contains substantial UI improvements, instead.
4432
http://code.aaronbentley.com/bzr/bzrrepo/nested-trees/
4433
(Aaron Bentley, Martin Pool, Robert Collins).
4434
4435
BUGFIXES:
4436
4437
* ``bzr annotate`` now uses dotted revnos from the viewpoint of the
4438
branch, rather than the last changed revision of the file.
4439
(John Arbash Meinel, #82158)
4440
4441
* Lock operations no longer hang if they encounter a permission problem.
4442
(Aaron Bentley)
4443
4444
* ``bzr push`` can resume a push that was canceled before it finished.
4445
Also, it can push even if the target directory exists if you supply
4446
the ``--use-existing-dir`` flag.
4447
(John Arbash Meinel, #30576, #45504)
4448
4449
* Fix http proxy authentication when user and an optional
4450
password appears in the ``*_proxy`` vars. (Vincent Ladeuil,
4451
#83954).
4452
4453
* ``bzr log branch/file`` works for local treeless branches
4454
(Aaron Bentley, #84247)
4455
4456
* Fix problem with UNC paths on Windows 98. (Alexander Belchenko, #84728)
4457
4458
* Searching location of CA bundle for PyCurl in env variable
4459
(``CURL_CA_BUNDLE``), and on win32 along the PATH.
4460
(Alexander Belchenko, #82086)
4461
4462
* ``bzr init`` works with unicode argument LOCATION.
4463
(Alexander Belchenko, #85599)
4464
4465
* Raise ``DependencyNotPresent`` if pycurl do not support https.
4466
(Vincent Ladeuil, #85305)
4467
4468
* Invalid proxy env variables should not cause a traceback.
4469
(Vincent Ladeuil, #87765)
4470
4471
* Ignore patterns normalised to use '/' path separator.
4472
(Kent Gibson, #86451)
4473
4474
* bzr rocks. It sure does! Fix case. (Vincent Ladeuil, #78026)
4475
4476
* Fix bzrtools shelve command for removed lines beginning with "--"
4477
(Johan Dahlberg, #75577)
4478
4479
TESTING:
4480
4481
* New ``--first`` option to ``bzr selftest`` to run specified tests
4482
before the rest of the suite. (Martin Pool)

bzr 0.14 2007-01-23
4486
--------------------
4487
4488
IMPROVEMENTS:
4489
4490
* ``bzr help global-options`` describes the global options. (Aaron Bentley)
4491
4492
BUG FIXES:
4493
4494
* Skip documentation generation tests if the tools to do so are not
4495
available. Fixes running selftest for installled copies of bzr.
4496
(John Arbash Meinel, #80330)
4497
4498
* Fix the code that discovers whether bzr is being run from it's
4499
working tree to handle the case when it isn't but the directory
4500
it is in is below a repository. (James Westby, #77306)

4503
bzr 0.14rc1 2007-01-16
4504
-----------------------
4505
4506
IMPROVEMENTS:
4507
4508
* New connection: ``bzr+http://`` which supports tunnelling the smart
4509
protocol over an HTTP connection. If writing is enabled on the bzr
4510
server, then you can write over the http connection.
4511
(Andrew Bennetts, John Arbash Meinel)
4512
4513
* Aliases now support quotation marks, so they can contain whitespace
4514
(Marius Kruger)
4515
4516
* PyCurlTransport now use a single curl object. By specifying explicitly
4517
the 'Range' header, we avoid the need to use two different curl objects
4518
(and two connections to the same server). (Vincent Ladeuil)
4519
4520
* ``bzr commit`` does not prompt for a message until it is very likely to
4521
succeed. (Aaron Bentley)
4522
4523
* ``bzr conflicts`` now takes --text to list pathnames of text conflicts
4524
(Aaron Bentley)
4525
4526
* Fix ``iter_lines_added_or_present_in_versions`` to use a set instead
4527
of a list while checking if a revision id was requested. Takes 10s
4528
off of the ``fileids_affected_by_revision_ids`` time, which is 10s
4529
of the ``bzr branch`` time. Also improve ``fileids_...`` time by
4530
filtering lines with a regex rather than multiple ``str.find()``
4531
calls. (saves another 300ms) (John Arbash Meinel)
4532
4533
* Policy can be set for each configuration key. This allows keys to be
4534
inherited properly across configuration entries. For example, this
4535
should enable you to do::
4536
4537
[/home/user/project]
4538
push_location = sftp://host/srv/project/
4539
push_location:policy = appendpath
4540
4541
And then a branch like ``/home/user/project/mybranch`` should get an
4542
automatic push location of ``sftp://host/srv/project/mybranch``.
4543
(James Henstridge)
4544
4545
* Added ``bzr status --short`` to make status report svn style flags
4546
for each file. For example::
4547
4548
$ bzr status --short
4549
A foo
4550
A bar
4551
D baz
4552
? wooley
4553
4554
* 'bzr selftest --clean-output' allows easily clean temporary tests
4555
directories without running tests. (Alexander Belchenko)
4556
4557
* ``bzr help hidden-commands`` lists all hidden commands. (Aaron Bentley)
4558
4559
* ``bzr merge`` now has an option ``--pull`` to fall back to pull if
4560
local is fully merged into remote. (Jan Hudec)
4561
4562
* ``bzr help formats`` describes available directory formats. (Aaron Bentley)
4563
4564
INTERNALS:
4565
4566
* A few tweaks directly to ``fileids_affected_by_revision_ids`` to
4567
help speed up processing, as well allowing to extract unannotated
4568
lines. Between the two ``fileids_affected_by_revision_ids`` is
4569
improved by approx 10%. (John Arbash Meinel)
4570
4571
* Change Revision serialization to only write out millisecond
4572
resolution. Rather than expecting floating point serialization to
4573
preserve more resolution than we need. (Henri Weichers, Martin Pool)
4574
4575
* Test suite ends cleanly on Windows. (Vincent Ladeuil)
4576
4577
* When ``encoding_type`` attribute of class Command is equal to 'exact',
4578
force sys.stdout to be a binary stream on Windows, and therefore
4579
keep exact line-endings (without LF -> CRLF conversion).
4580
(Alexander Belchenko)
4581
4582
* Single-letter short options are no longer globally declared. (Martin
4583
Pool)
4584
4585
* Before using detected user/terminal encoding bzr should check
4586
that Python has corresponding codec. (Alexander Belchenko)
4587
4588
* Formats for end-user selection are provided via a FormatRegistry (Aaron Bentley)
4589
4590
BUG FIXES:
4591
4592
* ``bzr missing --verbose`` was showing adds/removals in the wrong
4593
direction. (John Arbash Meinel)
4594
4595
* ``bzr annotate`` now defaults to showing dotted revnos for merged
4596
revisions. It cuts them off at a depth of 12 characters, but you can
4597
supply ``--long`` to see the full number. You can also use
4598
``--show-ids`` to display the original revision ids, rather than
4599
revision numbers and committer names. (John Arbash Meinel, #75637)
4600
4601
* bzr now supports Win32 UNC path (e.g. ``\HOST\path``.
4602
(Alexander Belchenko, #57869)
4603
4604
* Win32-specific: output of cat, bundle and diff commands don't mangle
4605
line-endings (Alexander Belchenko, #55276)
4606
4607
* Replace broken fnmatch based ignore pattern matching with custom pattern
4608
matcher.
4609
(Kent Gibson, Jan Hudec #57637)
4610
4611
* pycurl and urllib can detect short reads at different places. Update
4612
the test suite to test more cases. Also detect http error code 416
4613
which was raised for that specific bug. Also enhance the urllib
4614
robustness by detecting invalid ranges (and pycurl's one by detecting
4615
short reads during the initial GET). (Vincent Ladeuil, #73948)
4616
4617
* The urllib connection sharing interacts badly with urllib2
4618
proxy setting (the connections didn't go thru the proxy
4619
anymore). Defining a proper ProxyHandler solves the
4620
problem. (Vincent Ladeuil, #74759)
4621
4622
* Use urlutils to generate relative URLs, not osutils
4623
(Aaron Bentley, #76229)
4624
4625
* ``bzr status`` in a readonly directory should work without giving
4626
lots of errors. (John Arbash Meinel, #76299)
4627
4628
* Mention the revisionspec topic for the revision option help.
4629
(Wouter van Heyst, #31663)
4630
4631
* Allow plugins import from zip archives.

4641
-----------------------
4642
4643
IMPROVEMENTS:
4644
4645
* New command ``bzr remove-tree`` allows the removal of the working
4646
tree from a branch.
4647
(Daniel Silverstone)
4648
4649
* urllib uses shared keep-alive connections, so http
4650
operations are substantially faster.
4651
(Vincent Ladeuil, #53654)
4652
4653
* ``bzr export`` allows an optional branch parameter, to export a bzr
4654
tree from some other url. For example:
4655
``bzr export bzr.tar.gz http://bazaar-vcs.org/bzr/bzr.dev``
4656
(Daniel Silverstone)
4657
4658
* Added ``bzr help topics`` to the bzr help system. This gives a
4659
location for general information, outside of a specific command.
4660
This includes updates for ``bzr help revisionspec`` the first topic
4661
included. (Goffredo Baroncelli, John Arbash Meinel, #42714)
4662
4663
* WSGI-compatible HTTP smart server. See ``doc/http_smart_server.txt``.
4664
(Andrew Bennetts)
4665
4666
* Knit files will now cache full texts only when the size of the
4667
deltas is as large as the size of the fulltext. (Or after 200
4668
deltas, whichever comes first). This has the most benefit on large
4669
files with small changes, such as the inventory for a large project.
4670
(eg For a project with 2500 files, and 7500 revisions, it changes
4671
the size of inventory.knit from 11MB to 5.4MB) (John Arbash Meinel)
4672
4673
INTERNALS:
4674
4675
* New -D option given before the command line turns on debugging output
4676
for particular areas. -Derror shows tracebacks on all errors.
4677
(Martin Pool)
4678
4679
* Clean up ``bzr selftest --benchmark bundle`` to correct an import,
4680
and remove benchmarks that take longer than 10min to run.
4681
(John Arbash Meinel)
4682
4683
* Use ``time.time()`` instead of ``time.clock()`` to decide on
4684
progress throttling. Because ``time.clock()`` is actually CPU time,
4685
so over a high-latency connection, too many updates get throttled.
4686
(John Arbash Meinel)
4687
4688
* ``MemoryTransport.list_dir()`` would strip the first character for
4689
files or directories in root directory. (John Arbash Meinel)
4690
4691
* New method ``get_branch_reference`` on 'BzrDir' allows the detection of
4692
branch references - which the smart server component needs.
4693
4694
* New ``ChrootTransportDecorator``, accessible via the ``chroot+`` url
4695
prefix. It disallows any access to locations above a set URL. (Andrew
4696
Bennetts)
4697
4698
BUG FIXES:
4699
4700
* Now ``_KnitIndex`` properly decode revision ids when loading index data.
4701
And optimize the knit index parsing code.
4702
(Dmitry Vasiliev, John Arbash Meinel)
4703
4704
* ``bzrlib/bzrdir.py`` was directly referencing ``bzrlib.workingtree``,
4705
without importing it. This prevented ``bzr upgrade`` from working
4706
unless a plugin already imported ``bzrlib.workingtree``
4707
(John Arbash Meinel, #70716)
4708
4709
* Suppress the traceback on invalid URLs (Vincent Ladeuil, #70803).
4710
4711
* Give nicer error message when an http server returns a 403
4712
error code. (Vincent Ladeuil, #57644).
4713
4714
* When a multi-range http GET request fails, try a single
4715
range one. If it fails too, forget about ranges. Remember that until
4716
the death of the transport and propagates that to the clones.
4717
(Vincent Ladeuil, #62276, #62029).
4718
4719
* Handles user/passwords supplied in url from command
4720
line (for the urllib implementation). Don't request already
4721
known passwords (Vincent Ladeuil, #42383, #44647, #48527)
4722
4723
* ``_KnitIndex.add_versions()`` dictionary compresses revision ids as they
4724
are added. This fixes bug where fetching remote revisions records
4725
them as full references rather than integers.
4726
(John Arbash Meinel, #64789)
4727
4728
* ``bzr ignore`` strips trailing slashes in patterns.
4729
Also ``bzr ignore`` rejects absolute paths. (Kent Gibson, #4559)
4730
4731
* ``bzr ignore`` takes multiple arguments. (Cheuksan Edward Wang, #29488)
4732
4733
* mv correctly handles paths that traverse symlinks.
4734
(Aaron Bentley, #66964)
4735
4736
* Give nicer looking error messages when failing to connect over ssh.
4737
(John Arbash Meinel, #49172)
4738
4739
* Pushing to a remote branch does not currently update the remote working
4740
tree. After a remote push, ``bzr status`` and ``bzr diff`` on the remote
4741
machine now show that the working tree is out of date.
4742
(Cheuksan Edward Wang #48136)
4743
4744
* Use patiencediff instead of difflib for determining deltas to insert
4745
into knits. This avoids the O(N^3) behavior of difflib. Patience
4746
diff should be O(N^2). (Cheuksan Edward Wang, #65714)
4747
4748
* Running ``bzr log`` on nonexistent file gives an error instead of the
4749
entire log history. (Cheuksan Edward Wang #50793)
4750
4751
* ``bzr cat`` can look up contents of removed or renamed files. If the
4752
pathname is ambiguous, i.e. the files in the old and new trees have
4753
different id's, the default is the file in the new tree. The user can
4754
use "--name-from-revision" to select the file in the old tree.
4755
(Cheuksan Edward Wang, #30190)
4756
4757
TESTING:
4758
4759
* TestingHTTPRequestHandler really handles the Range header
4760
(previously it was ignoring it and returning the whole file,).
4761
4762
bzr 0.12 2006-10-30
4763
--------------------
4764
4765
INTERNALS:
4766
4767
* Clean up ``bzr selftest --benchmark bundle`` to correct an import,
4768
and remove benchmarks that take longer than 10min to run.
4769
(John Arbash Meinel)
4770
4771
bzr 0.12rc1 2006-10-23
4772
-----------------------
4773
4774
IMPROVEMENTS:
4775
4776
* ``bzr log`` now shows dotted-decimal revision numbers for all revisions,
4777
rather than just showing a decimal revision number for revisions on the
4778
mainline. These revision numbers are not yet accepted as input into bzr
4779
commands such as log, diff etc. (Robert Collins)
4780
4781
* revisions can now be specified using dotted-decimal revision numbers.
4782
For instance, ``bzr diff -r 1.2.1..1.2.3``. (Robert Collins)
4783
4784
* ``bzr help commands`` output is now shorter (Aaron Bentley)
4785
4786
* ``bzr`` now uses lazy importing to reduce the startup time. This has
4787
a moderate effect on lots of actions, especially ones that have
4788
little to do. For example ``bzr rocks`` time is down to 116ms from
4789
283ms. (John Arbash Meinel)
4790
4791
* New Registry class to provide name-to-object registry-like support,
4792
for example for schemes where plugins can register new classes to
4793
do certain tasks (e.g. log formatters). Also provides lazy registration
4794
to allow modules to be loaded on request.
4795
(John Arbash Meinel, Adeodato Simó)
4796
4797
API INCOMPATABILITY:
4798
4799
* LogFormatter subclasses show now expect the 'revno' parameter to
4800
show() to be a string rather than an int. (Robert Collins)
4801
4802
INTERNALS:
4803
4804
* ``TestCase.run_bzr``, ``run_bzr_captured``, and ``run_bzr_subprocess``
4805
can take a ``working_dir='foo'`` parameter, which will change directory
4806
for the command. (John Arbash Meinel)
4807
4808
* ``bzrlib.lazy_regex.lazy_compile`` can be used to create a proxy
4809
around a regex, which defers compilation until first use.
4810
(John Arbash Meinel)
4811
4812
* ``TestCase.run_bzr_subprocess`` defaults to supplying the
4813
``--no-plugins`` parameter to ensure test reproducability, and avoid
4814
problems with system-wide installed plugins. (John Arbash Meinel)
4815
4816
* Unique tree root ids are now supported. Newly created trees still
4817
use the common root id for compatibility with bzr versions before 0.12.
4818
(Aaron Bentley)
4819
4820
* ``WorkingTree.set_root_id(None)`` is now deprecated. Please
4821
pass in ``inventory.ROOT_ID`` if you want the default root id value.
4822
(Robert Collins, John Arbash Meinel)
4823
4824
* New method ``WorkingTree.flush()`` which will write the current memory
4825
inventory out to disk. At the same time, ``read_working_inventory`` will
4826
no longer trash the current tree inventory if it has been modified within
4827
the current lock, and the tree will now ``flush()`` automatically on
4828
``unlock()``. ``WorkingTree.set_root_id()`` has been updated to take
4829
advantage of this functionality. (Robert Collins, John Arbash Meinel)
4830
4831
* ``bzrlib.tsort.merge_sorted`` now accepts ``generate_revnos``. This
4832
parameter will cause it to add another column to its output, which
4833
contains the dotted-decimal revno for each revision, as a tuple.
4834
(Robert Collins)
4835
4836
* ``LogFormatter.show_merge`` is deprecated in favour of
4837
``LogFormatter.show_merge_revno``. (Robert Collins)
4838
4839
BUG FIXES:
4840
4841
* Avoid circular imports by creating a deprecated function for
4842
``bzrlib.tree.RevisionTree``. Callers should have been using
4843
``bzrlib.revisontree.RevisionTree`` anyway. (John Arbash Meinel,
4844
#63360, #66349)
4845
4846
* Don't use ``socket.MSG_WAITALL`` as it doesn't exist on all
4847
platforms. (Martin Pool, #66356)
4848
4849
* Don't require ``Content-Type`` in range responses. Assume they are a
4850
single range if ``Content-Type`` does not exist.
4851
(John Arbash Meinel, #62473)
4852
4853
* bzr branch/pull no longer complain about progress bar cleanup when
4854
interrupted during fetch. (Aaron Bentley, #54000)
4855
4856
* ``WorkingTree.set_parent_trees()`` uses the trees to directly write
4857
the basis inventory, rather than going through the repository. This
4858
allows us to have 1 inventory read, and 2 inventory writes when
4859
committing a new tree. (John Arbash Meinel)
4860
4861
* When reverting, files that are not locally modified that do not exist
4862
in the target are deleted, not just unversioned (Aaron Bentley)
4863
4864
* When trying to acquire a lock, don't fail immediately. Instead, try
4865
a few times (up to 1 hour) before timing out. Also, report why the
4866
lock is unavailable (John Arbash Meinel, #43521, #49556)
4867
4868
* Leave HttpTransportBase daughter classes decides how they
4869
implement cloning. (Vincent Ladeuil, #61606)
4870
4871
* diff3 does not indicate conflicts on clean merge. (Aaron Bentley)
4872
4873
* If a commit fails, the commit message is stored in a file at the root of
4874
the tree for later commit. (Cheuksan Edward Wang, Stefan Metzmacher,
4875
#32054)
4876
4877
TESTING:
4878
4879
* New test base class TestCaseWithMemoryTransport offers memory-only
4880
testing facilities: its not suitable for tests that need to mutate disk
4881
state, but most tests should not need that and should be converted to
4882
TestCaseWithMemoryTransport. (Robert Collins)
4883
4884
* ``TestCase.make_branch_and_memory_tree`` now takes a format
4885
option to set the BzrDir, Repository and Branch formats of the
4886
created objects. (Robert Collins, John Arbash Meinel)
4887
4888
bzr 0.11 2006-10-02

4898
* Test suite hangs on windows fixed. (Andrew Bennets, Alexander Belchenko).
4899
4900
* Commit performance regression fixed. (Aaron Bentley, Robert Collins, John

4902
4903
bzr 0.11rc1 2006-09-25
4904
-----------------------
4905
4906
IMPROVEMENTS:
4907
4908
* Knit files now wait to create their contents until the first data is
4909
added. The old code used to create an empty .knit and a .kndx with just
4910
the header. However, this caused a lot of extra round trips over sftp.
4911
This can change the time for ``bzr push`` to create a new remote branch
4912
from 160s down to 100s. This also affects ``bzr commit`` performance when
4913
adding new files, ``bzr commit`` on a new kernel-like tree drops from 50s
4914
down to 40s (John Arbash Meinel, #44692)
4915
4916
* When an entire subtree has been deleted, commit will now report that
4917
just the top of the subtree has been deleted, rather than reporting
4918
all the individual items. (Robert Collins)
4919
4920
* Commit performs one less XML parse. (Robert Collins)
4921
4922
* ``bzr checkout`` now operates on readonly branches as well
4923
as readwrite branches. This fixes bug #39542. (Robert Collins)
4924
4925
* ``bzr bind`` no longer synchronises history with the master branch.
4926
Binding should be followed by an update or push to synchronise the
4927
two branches. This is closely related to the fix for bug #39542.
4928
(Robert Collins)
4929
4930
* ``bzrlib.lazy_import.lazy_import`` function to create on-demand
4931
objects. This allows all imports to stay at the global scope, but
4932
modules will not actually be imported if they are not used.
4933
(John Arbash Meinel)
4934
4935
* Support ``bzr://`` and ``bzr+ssh://`` urls to work with the new RPC-based
4936
transport which will be used with the upcoming high-performance smart
4937
server. The new command ``bzr serve`` will invoke bzr in server mode,
4938
which processes these requests. (Andrew Bennetts, Robert Collins, Martin
4939
Pool)
4940
4941
* New command ``bzr version-info`` which can be used to get a summary
4942
of the current state of the tree. This is especially useful as part
4943
of a build commands. See ``doc/version_info.txt`` for more information
4944
(John Arbash Meinel)
4945
4946
BUG FIXES:
4947
4948
* ``'bzr inventory [FILE...]'`` allows restricting the file list to a
4949
specific set of files. (John Arbash Meinel, #3631)
4950
4951
* Don't abort when annotating empty files (John Arbash Meinel, #56814)
4952
4953
* Add ``Stanza.to_unicode()`` which can be passed to another Stanza
4954
when nesting stanzas. Also, add ``read_stanza_unicode`` to handle when
4955
reading a nested Stanza. (John Arbash Meinel)
4956
4957
* Transform._set_mode() needs to stat the right file.
4958
(John Arbash Meinel, #56549)
4959
4960
* Raise WeaveFormatError rather than StopIteration when trying to read
4961
an empty Weave file. (John Arbash Meinel, #46871)
4962
4963
* Don't access e.code for generic URLErrors, only HTTPErrors have .code.
4964
(Vincent Ladeuil, #59835)
4965
4966
* Handle boundary="" lines properly to allow access through a Squid proxy.
4967
(John Arbash Meinel, #57723)
4968
4969
* revert now removes newly-added directories (Aaron Bentley, #54172)
4970
4971
* ``bzr upgrade sftp://`` shouldn't fail to upgrade v6 branches if there
4972
isn't a working tree. (David Allouche, #40679)
4973
4974
* Give nicer error messages when a user supplies an invalid --revision
4975
parameter. (John Arbash Meinel, #55420)
4976
4977
* Handle when LANG is not recognized by python. Emit a warning, but
4978
just revert to using 'ascii'. (John Arbash Meinel, #35392)
4979
4980
* Don't use ``preexec_fn`` on win32, as it is not supported by subprocess.
4981
(John Arbash Meinel)
4982
4983
* Skip specific tests when the dependencies aren't met. This includes
4984
some ``setup.py`` tests when ``python-dev`` is not available, and
4985
some tests that depend on paramiko. (John Arbash Meinel, Mattheiu Moy)
4986
4987
* Fallback to Paramiko properly, if no ``ssh`` executable exists on
4988
the system. (Andrew Bennetts, John Arbash Meinel)
4989
4990
* ``Branch.bind(other_branch)`` no longer takes a write lock on the
4991
other branch, and will not push or pull between the two branches.
4992
API users will need to perform a push or pull or update operation if they
4993
require branch synchronisation to take place. (Robert Collins, #47344)
4994
4995
* When creating a tarball or zipfile export, export unicode names as utf-8
4996
paths. This may not work perfectly on all platforms, but has the best
4997
chance of working in the common case. (John Arbash Meinel, #56816)
4998
4999
* When committing, only files that exist in working tree or basis tree
5000
may be specified (Aaron Bentley, #50793)
5001
5002
PORTABILITY:
5003
5004
* Fixes to run on Python 2.5 (Brian M. Carlson, Martin Pool, Marien Zwart)
5005
5006
INTERNALS:
5007
5008
* TestCaseInTempDir now creates a separate directory for HOME, rather
5009
than having HOME set to the same location as the working directory.
5010
(John Arbash Meinel)
5011
5012
* ``run_bzr_subprocess()`` can take an optional ``env_changes={}`` parameter,
5013
which will update os.environ inside the spawned child. It also can
5014
take a ``universal_newlines=True``, which helps when checking the output
5015
of the command. (John Arbash Meinel)
5016
5017
* Refactor SFTP vendors to allow easier re-use when ssh is used.
5018
(Andrew Bennetts)
5019
5020
* ``Transport.list_dir()`` and ``Transport.iter_files_recursive()`` should always
5021
return urlescaped paths. This is now tested (there were bugs in a few
5022
of the transports) (Andrew Bennetts, David Allouche, John Arbash Meinel)
5023
5024
* New utility function ``symbol_versioning.deprecation_string``. Returns the
5025
formatted string for a callable, deprecation format pair. (Robert Collins)
5026
5027
* New TestCase helper applyDeprecated. This allows you to call a callable
5028
which is deprecated without it spewing to the screen, just by supplying
5029
the deprecation format string issued for it. (Robert Collins)
5030
5031
* Transport.append and Transport.put have been deprecated in favor of
5032
``.append_bytes``, ``.append_file``, ``.put_bytes``, and
5033
``.put_file``. This removes the ambiguity in what type of object the
5034
functions take. ``Transport.non_atomic_put_{bytes,file}`` has also
5035
been added. Which works similarly to ``Transport.append()`` except for
5036
SFTP, it doesn't have a round trip when opening the file. Also, it
5037
provides functionality for creating a parent directory when trying
5038
to create a file, rather than raise NoSuchFile and forcing the
5039
caller to repeat their request.
5040

5042
* WorkingTree has a new api ``unversion`` which allow the unversioning of
5043
entries by their file id. (Robert Collins)
5044
5045
* ``WorkingTree.pending_merges`` is deprecated. Please use the
5046
``get_parent_ids`` (introduced in 0.10) method instead. (Robert Collins)
5047
5048
* WorkingTree has a new ``lock_tree_write`` method which locks the branch for
5049
read rather than write. This is appropriate for actions which only need
5050
the branch data for reference rather than mutation. A new decorator
5051
``needs_tree_write_lock`` is provided in the workingtree module. Like the
5052
``needs_read_lock`` and ``needs_write_lock`` decorators this allows static
5053
declaration of the locking requirements of a function to ensure that
5054
a lock is taken out for casual scripts. (Robert Collins, #54107)
5055
5056
* All WorkingTree methods which write to the tree, but not to the branch
5057
have been converted to use ``needs_tree_write_lock`` rather than
5058
``needs_write_lock``. Also converted is the revert, conflicts and tree
5059
transform modules. This provides a modest performance improvement on
5060
metadir style trees, due to the reduce lock-acquisition, and a more
5061
significant performance improvement on lightweight checkouts from
5062
remote branches, where trivial operations used to pay a significant
5063
penalty. It also provides the basis for allowing readonly checkouts.
5064
(Robert Collins)
5065
5066
* Special case importing the standard library 'copy' module. This shaves
5067
off 40ms of startup time, while retaining compatibility. See:
5068
``bzrlib/inspect_for_copy.py`` for more details. (John Arbash Meinel)
5069
5070
* WorkingTree has a new parent class MutableTree which represents the
5071
specialisations of Tree which are able to be altered. (Robert Collins)
5072
5073
* New methods mkdir and ``put_file_bytes_non_atomic`` on MutableTree that
5074
mutate the tree and its contents. (Robert Collins)
5075
5076
* Transport behaviour at the root of the URL is now defined and tested.
5077
(Andrew Bennetts, Robert Collins)
5078
5079
TESTING:
5080
5081
* New test helper classs MemoryTree. This is typically accessed via
5082
``self.make_branch_and_memory_tree()`` in test cases. (Robert Collins)
5083
5084
* Add ``start_bzr_subprocess`` and ``stop_bzr_subprocess`` to allow test
5085
code to continue running concurrently with a subprocess of bzr.
5086
(Andrew Bennetts, Robert Collins)
5087
5088
* Add a new method ``Transport.get_smart_client()``. This is provided to
5089
allow upgrades to a richer interface than the VFS one provided by
5090
Transport. (Andrew Bennetts, Martin Pool)
5091
5092
bzr 0.10 2006-08-29
5093
--------------------
5094
5095
IMPROVEMENTS:
5096
* 'merge' now takes --uncommitted, to apply uncommitted changes from a
5097
tree. (Aaron Bentley)
5098
5099
* 'bzr add --file-ids-from' can be used to specify another path to use
5100
for creating file ids, rather than generating all new ones. Internally,
5101
the 'action' passed to ``smart_add_tree()`` can return ``file_ids`` that
5102
will be used, rather than having bzrlib generate new ones.
5103
(John Arbash Meinel, #55781)
5104
5105
* ``bzr selftest --benchmark`` now allows a ``--cache-dir`` parameter.
5106
This will cache some of the intermediate trees, and decrease the
5107
setup time for benchmark tests. (John Arbash Meinel)
5108
5109
* Inverse forms are provided for all boolean options. For example,
5110
--strict has --no-strict, --no-recurse has --recurse (Aaron Bentley)
5111
5112
* Serialize out Inventories directly, rather than using ElementTree.
5113
Writing out a kernel sized inventory drops from 2s down to ~350ms.
5114
(Robert Collins, John Arbash Meinel)
5115
5116
BUG FIXES:
5117
5118
* Help diffutils 2.8.4 get along with binary tests (Marien Zwart: #57614)
5119
5120
* Change LockDir so that if the lock directory doesn't exist when
5121
``lock_write()`` is called, an attempt will be made to create it.
5122
(John Arbash Meinel, #56974)
5123
5124
* ``bzr uncommit`` preserves pending merges. (John Arbash Meinel, #57660)
5125
5126
* Active FTP transport now works as intended. (ghozzy, #56472)
5127
5128
* Really fix mutter() so that it won't ever raise a UnicodeError.
5129
It means it is possible for ~/.bzr.log to contain non UTF-8 characters.
5130
But it is a debugging log, not a real user file.
5131
(John Arbash Meinel, #56947, #53880)
5132
5133
* Change Command handle to allow Unicode command and options.
5134
At present we cannot register Unicode command names, so we will get
5135
BzrCommandError('unknown command'), or BzrCommandError('unknown option')
5136
But that is better than a UnicodeError + a traceback.
5137
(John Arbash Meinel, #57123)
5138
5139
* Handle TZ=UTC properly when reading/writing revisions.
5140
(John Arbash Meinel, #55783, #56290)
5141
5142
* Use ``GPG_TTY`` to allow gpg --cl to work with gpg-agent in a pipeline,
5143
(passing text to sign in on stdin). (John Arbash Meinel, #54468)
5144
5145
* External diff does the right thing for binaries even in foreign
5146
languages. (John Arbash Meinel, #56307)
5147
5148
* Testament handles more cases when content is unicode. Specific bug was
5149
in handling of revision properties.
5150
(John Arbash Meinel, Holger Krekel, #54723)
5151
5152
* The bzr selftest was failing on installed versions due to a bug in a new
5153
test helper. (John Arbash Meinel, Robert Collins, #58057)
5154
5155
INTERNALS:
5156
5157
* ``bzrlib.cache_utf8`` contains ``encode()`` and ``decode()`` functions
5158
which can be used to cache the conversion between utf8 and Unicode.
5159
Especially helpful for some of the knit annotation code, which has to
5160
convert revision ids to utf8 to annotate lines in storage.
5161
(John Arbash Meinel)
5162
5163
* ``setup.py`` now searches the filesystem to find all packages which
5164
need to be installed. This should help make the life of packagers
5165
easier. (John Arbash Meinel)
5166
5167
bzr 0.9.0 2006-08-11
5168
---------------------
5169
5170
SURPRISES:
5171
5172
* The hard-coded built-in ignore rules have been removed. There are
5173
now two rulesets which are enforced. A user global one in
5174
``~/.bazaar/ignore`` which will apply to every tree, and the tree
5175
specific one '.bzrignore'.
5176
``~/.bazaar/ignore`` will be created if it does not exist, but with
5177
a more conservative list than the old default.
5178
This fixes bugs with default rules being enforced no matter what.
5179
The old list of ignore rules from bzr is available by
5180
running 'bzr ignore --old-default-rules'.
5181
(Robert Collins, Martin Pool, John Arbash Meinel)
5182
5183
* 'branches.conf' has been changed to 'locations.conf', since it can apply
5184
to more locations than just branch locations.
5185
(Aaron Bentley)
5186
5187
IMPROVEMENTS:
5188
5189
* The revision specifier "revno:" is extended to accept the syntax
5190
revno:N:branch. For example,
5191
revno:42:http://bazaar-vcs.org/bzr/bzr.dev/ means revision 42 in
5192
bzr.dev. (Matthieu Moy)
5193
5194
* Tests updates to ensure proper URL handling, UNICODE support, and
5195
proper printing when the user's terminal encoding cannot display
5196
the path of a file that has been versioned.
5197
``bzr branch`` can take a target URL rather than only a local directory.
5198
``Branch.get_parent()/set_parent()`` now save a relative path if possible,
5199
and normalize the parent based on root, allowing access across
5200
different transports. (John Arbash Meinel, Wouter van Heyst, Martin Pool)
5201
(Malone #48906, #42699, #40675, #5281, #3980, #36363, #43689,
5202
#42517, #42514)
5203
5204
* On Unix, detect terminal width using an ioctl not just $COLUMNS.
5205
Use terminal width for single-line logs from ``bzr log --line`` and
5206
pending-merge display. (Robert Widhopf-Fenk, Gustavo Niemeyer)
5207
(Malone #3507)
5208
5209
* On Windows, detect terminal width using GetConsoleScreenBufferInfo.
5210
(Alexander Belchenko)
5211
5212
* Speedup improvement for 'date:'-revision search. (Guillaume Pinot).
5213
5214
* Show the correct number of revisions pushed when pushing a new branch.
5215
(Robert Collins).
5216
5217
* 'bzr selftest' now shows a progress bar with the number of tests, and
5218
progress made. 'make check' shows tests in -v mode, to be more useful
5219
for the PQM status window. (Robert Collins).
5220
When using a progress bar, failed tests are printed out, rather than
5221
being overwritten by the progress bar until the suite finishes.
5222
(John Arbash Meinel)
5223
5224
* 'bzr selftest --benchmark' will run a new benchmarking selftest.
5225
'bzr selftest --benchmark --lsprof-timed' will use lsprofile to generate
5226
profile data for the individual profiled calls, allowing for fine
5227
grained analysis of performance.
5228
(Robert Collins, Martin Pool).
5229
5230
* 'bzr commit' shows a progress bar. This is useful for commits over sftp
5231
where commit can take an appreciable time. (Robert Collins)
5232
5233
* 'bzr add' is now less verbose in telling you what ignore globs were
5234
matched by files being ignored. Instead it just tells you how many
5235
were ignored (because you might reasonably be expecting none to be
5236
ignored). 'bzr add -v' is unchanged and will report every ignored
5237
file. (Robert Collins).
5238
5239
* ftp now has a test server if medusa is installed. As part of testing,
5240
ftp support has been improved, including support for supplying a
5241
non-standard port. (John Arbash Meinel).
5242
5243
* 'bzr log --line' shows the revision number, and uses only the
5244
first line of the log message (#5162, Alexander Belchenko;
5245
Matthieu Moy)
5246
5247
* 'bzr status' has had the --all option removed. The 'bzr ls' command
5248
should be used to retrieve all versioned files. (Robert Collins)
5249
5250
* 'bzr bundle OTHER/BRANCH' will create a bundle which can be sent
5251
over email, and applied on the other end, while maintaining ancestry.
5252
This bundle can be applied with either 'bzr merge' or 'bzr pull',
5253
the same way you would apply another branch.
5254
(John Arbash Meinel, Aaron Bentley)
5255
5256
* 'bzr whoami' can now be used to set your identity from the command line,
5257
for a branch or globally. (Robey Pointer)
5258
5259
* 'bzr checkout' now aliased to 'bzr co', and 'bzr annotate' to 'bzr ann'.
5260
(Michael Ellerman)
5261
5262
* 'bzr revert DIRECTORY' now reverts the contents of the directory as well.
5263
(Aaron Bentley)
5264
5265
* 'bzr get sftp://foo' gives a better error when paramiko is not present.
5266
Also updates things like 'http+pycurl://' if pycurl is not present.
5267
(John Arbash Meinel) (Malone #47821, #52204)
5268
5269
* New env variable ``BZR_PROGRESS_BAR``, sets the default progress bar type.
5270
Can be set to 'none' or 'dummy' to disable the progress bar, 'dots' or
5271
'tty' to create the respective type. (John Arbash Meinel, #42197, #51107)
5272
5273
* Improve the help text for 'bzr diff' to explain what various options do.
5274
(John Arbash Meinel, #6391)
5275
5276
* 'bzr uncommit -r 10' now uncommits revisions 11.. rather than uncommitting
5277
revision 10. This makes -r10 more in line with what other commands do.
5278
'bzr uncommit' also now saves the pending merges of the revisions that
5279
were removed. So it is safe to uncommit after a merge, fix something,
5280
and commit again. (John Arbash Meinel, #32526, #31426)
5281
5282
* 'bzr init' now also works on remote locations.
5283
(Wouter van Heyst, #48904)
5284
5285
* HTTP support has been updated. When using pycurl we now support
5286
connection keep-alive, which reduces dns requests and round trips.
5287
And for both urllib and pycurl we support multi-range requests,
5288
which decreases the number of round-trips. Performance results for
5289
``bzr branch http://bazaar-vcs.org/bzr/bzr.dev/`` indicate
5290
http branching is now 2-3x faster, and ``bzr pull`` in an existing
5291
branch is as much as 4x faster.
5292
(Michael Ellerman, Johan Rydberg, John Arbash Meinel, #46768)
5293
5294
* Performance improvements for sftp. Branching and pulling are now up to
5295
2x faster. Utilize paramiko.readv() support for async requests if it
5296
is available (paramiko > 1.6) (John Arbash Meinel)
5297
5298
BUG FIXES:
5299
5300
* Fix shadowed definition of TestLocationConfig that caused some
5301
tests not to run.
5302
(Erik Bågfors, Michael Ellerman, Martin Pool, #32587)
5303
5304
* Fix unnecessary requirement of sign-my-commits that it be run from
5305
a working directory. (Martin Pool, Robert Collins)
5306
5307
* 'bzr push location' will only remember the push location if it succeeds
5308
in connecting to the remote location. (John Arbash Meinel, #49742)
5309
5310
* 'bzr revert' no longer toggles the executable bit on win32
5311
(John Arbash Meinel, #45010)
5312
5313
* Handle broken pipe under win32 correctly. (John Arbash Meinel)
5314
5315
* sftp tests now work correctly on win32 if you have a newer paramiko
5316
(John Arbash Meinel)
5317
5318
* Cleanup win32 test suite, and general cleanup of places where
5319
file handles were being held open. (John Arbash Meinel)
5320
5321
* When specifying filenames for 'diff -r x..y', the name of the file in the
5322
working directory can be used, even if its name is different in both x
5323
and y.
5324
5325
* File-ids containing single- or double-quotes are handled correctly by
5326
push. (Aaron Bentley, #52227)
5327
5328
* Normalize unicode filenames to ensure cross-platform consistency.
5329
(John Arbash Meinel, #43689)
5330
5331
* The argument parser can now handle '-' as an argument. Currently
5332
no code interprets it specially (it is mostly handled as a file named
5333
'-'). But plugins, and future operations can use it.
5334
(John Arbash meinel, #50984)
5335
5336
* Bundles can properly read binary files with a plain '\r' in them.
5337
(John Arbash Meinel, #51927)
5338
5339
* Tuning ``iter_entries()`` to be more efficient (John Arbash Meinel, #5444)
5340
5341
* Lots of win32 fixes (the test suite passes again).
5342
(John Arbash Meinel, #50155)
5343
5344
* Handle openbsd returning None for sys.getfilesystemencoding() (#41183)
5345
5346
* Support ftp APPE (append) to allow Knits to be used over ftp (#42592)
5347
5348
* Removals are only committed if they match the filespec (or if there is
5349
no filespec). (#46635, Aaron Bentley)
5350
5351
* smart-add recurses through all supplied directories
5352
(John Arbash Meinel, #52578)
5353
5354
* Make the bundle reader extra lines before and after the bundle text.
5355
This allows you to parse an email with the bundle inline.
5356
(John Arbash Meinel, #49182)
5357
5358
* Change the file id generator to squash a little bit more. Helps when
5359
working with long filenames on windows. (Also helps for unicode filenames
5360
not generating hidden files). (John Arbash Meinel, #43801)
5361
5362
* Restore terminal mode on C-c while reading sftp password. (#48923,
5363
Nicholas Allen, Martin Pool)
5364
5365
* Timestamps are rounded to 1ms, and revision entries can be recreated
5366
exactly. (John Arbash Meinel, Jamie Wilkinson, #40693)
5367
5368
* Branch.base has changed to a URL, but ~/.bazaar/locations.conf should
5369
use local paths, since it is user visible (John Arbash Meinel, #53653)
5370
5371
* ``bzr status foo`` when foo was unversioned used to cause a full delta
5372
to be generated (John Arbash Meinel, #53638)
5373
5374
* When reading revision properties, an empty value should be considered
5375
the empty string, not None (John Arbash Meinel, #47782)
5376
5377
* ``bzr diff --diff-options`` can now handle binary files being changed.
5378
Also, the output is consistent when --diff-options is not supplied.
5379
(John Arbash Meinel, #54651, #52930)
5380
5381
* Use the right suffixes for loading plugins (John Arbash Meinel, #51810)
5382
5383
* Fix ``Branch.get_parent()`` to handle the case when the parent is not
5384
accessible (John Arbash Meinel, #52976)
5385
5386
INTERNALS:
5387
5388
* Combine the ignore rules into a single regex rather than looping over
5389
them to reduce the threshold where N^2 behaviour occurs in operations
5390
like status. (Jan Hudec, Robert Collins).
5391
5392
* Appending to ``bzrlib.DEFAULT_IGNORE`` is now deprecated. Instead, use
5393
one of the add functions in bzrlib.ignores. (John Arbash Meinel)
5394
5395
* 'bzr push' should only push the ancestry of the current revision, not
5396
all of the history in the repository. This is especially important for
5397
shared repositories. (John Arbash Meinel)
5398
5399
* ``bzrlib.delta.compare_trees`` now iterates in alphabetically sorted order,
5400
rather than randomly walking the inventories. (John Arbash Meinel)
5401
5402
* Doctests are now run in temporary directories which are cleaned up when
5403
they finish, rather than using special ScratchDir/ScratchBranch objects.
5404
(Martin Pool)
5405
5406
* Split ``check`` into separate methods on the branch and on the repository,
5407
so that it can be specialized in ways that are useful or efficient for
5408
different formats. (Martin Pool, Robert Collins)
5409
5410
* Deprecate ``Repository.all_revision_ids``; most methods don't really need
5411
the global revision graph but only that part leading up to a particular
5412
revision. (Martin Pool, Robert Collins)
5413
5414
* Add a BzrDirFormat ``control_formats`` list which allows for control formats
5415
that do not use '.bzr' to store their data - i.e. '.svn', '.hg' etc.
5416
(Robert Collins, Jelmer Vernooij).
5417
5418
* ``bzrlib.diff.external_diff`` can be redirected to any file-like object.
5419
Uses subprocess instead of spawnvp.
5420
(James Henstridge, John Arbash Meinel, #4047, #48914)
5421
5422
* New command line option '--profile-imports', which will install a custom
5423
importer to log time to import modules and regex compilation time to
5424
sys.stderr (John Arbash Meinel)
5425
5426
* 'EmptyTree' is now deprecated, please use ``repository.revision_tree(None)``
5427
instead. (Robert Collins)
5428
5429
* "RevisionTree" is now in bzrlib/revisiontree.py. (Robert Collins)
5430
5431
bzr 0.8.2 2006-05-17
5432
---------------------
5433
5434
BUG FIXES:
5435
5436
* setup.py failed to install launchpad plugin. (Martin Pool)
5437
5438
bzr 0.8.1 2006-05-16
5439
---------------------
5440
5441
BUG FIXES:
5442
5443
* Fix failure to commit a merge in a checkout. (Martin Pool,
5444
Robert Collins, Erik Bågfors, #43959)
5445
5446
* Nicer messages from 'commit' in the case of renames, and correct
5447
messages when a merge has occured. (Robert Collins, Martin Pool)
5448
5449
* Separate functionality from assert statements as they are skipped in
5450
optimized mode of python. Add the same check to pending merges.
5451
(Olaf Conradi, #44443)
5452
5453
CHANGES:
5454
5455
* Do not show the None revision in output of bzr ancestry. (Olaf Conradi)
5456
5457
* Add info on standalone branches without a working tree.
5458
(Olaf Conradi, #44155)
5459
5460
* Fix bug in knits when raising InvalidRevisionId. (Olaf Conradi, #44284)
5461
5462
CHANGES:
5463
5464
* Make editor invocation comply with Debian Policy. First check
5465
environment variables VISUAL and EDITOR, then try editor from
5466
alternatives system. If that all fails, fall back to the pre-defined
5467
list of editors. (Olaf Conradi, #42904)
5468
5469
NEW FEATURES:
5470
5471
* New 'register-branch' command registers a public branch into
5472
Launchpad.net, where it can be associated with bugs, etc.
5473
(Martin Pool, Bjorn Tillenius, Robert Collins)
5474
5475
INTERNALS:
5476
5477
* New public api in InventoryEntry - ``describe_change(old, new)`` which
5478
provides a human description of the changes between two old and
5479
new. (Robert Collins, Martin Pool)
5480
5481
TESTING:
5482
5483
* Fix test case for bzr info in upgrading a standalone branch to metadir,
5484
uses bzrlib api now. (Olaf Conradi)

5486
bzr 0.8 2006-05-08
5487
-------------------
5488
5489
NOTES WHEN UPGRADING:
5490
5491
Release 0.8 of bzr introduces a new format for history storage, called
5492
'knit', as an evolution of to the 'weave' format used in 0.7. Local
5493
and remote operations are faster using knits than weaves. Several
5494
operations including 'init', 'init-repo', and 'upgrade' take a
5495
--format option that controls this. Branching from an existing branch
5496
will keep the same format.
5497
5498
It is possible to merge, pull and push between branches of different
5499
formats but this is slower than moving data between homogenous
5500
branches. It is therefore recommended (but not required) that you
5501
upgrade all branches for a project at the same time. Information on
5502
formats is shown by 'bzr info'.
5503
5504
bzr 0.8 now allows creation of 'repositories', which hold the history
5505
of files and revisions for several branches. Previously bzr kept all
5506
the history for a branch within the .bzr directory at the root of the
5507
branch, and this is still the default. To create a repository, use
5508
the new 'bzr init-repo' command. Branches exist as directories under
5509
the repository and contain just a small amount of information
5510
indicating the current revision of the branch.
5511
5512
bzr 0.8 also supports 'checkouts', which are similar to in cvs and
5513
subversion. Checkouts are associated with a branch (optionally in a
5514
repository), which contains all the historical information. The
5515
result is that a checkout can be deleted without losing any
5516
already-committed revisions. A new 'update' command is also available.
5517
5518
Repositories and checkouts are not supported with the 0.7 storage
5519
format. To use them you must upgrad to either knits, or to the
5520
'metaweave' format, which uses weaves but changes the .bzr directory
5521
arrangement.
5522
5523
5524
IMPROVEMENTS:
5525
5526
* Sftp paths can now be relative, or local, according to the lftp
5527
convention. Paths now take the form::
5528
5529
sftp://user:pass@host:port/~/relative/path
5530
or
5531
sftp://user:pass@host:port/absolute/path
5532
5533
* The FTP transport now tries to reconnect after a temporary
5534
failure. ftp put is made atomic. (Matthieu Moy)
5535
5536
* The FTP transport now maintains a pool of connections, and
5537
reuses them to avoid multiple connections to the same host (like
5538
sftp did). (Daniel Silverstone)
5539
5540
* The ``bzr_man.py`` file has been removed. To create the man page now,
5541
use ``./generate_docs.py man``. The new program can also create other files.
5542
Run ``python generate_docs.py --help`` for usage information.
5543
(Hans Ulrich Niedermann & James Blackwell).
5544
5545
* Man Page now gives full help (James Blackwell).
5546
Help also updated to reflect user config now being stored in .bazaar
5547
(Hans Ulrich Niedermann)
5548
5549
* It's now possible to set aliases in bazaar.conf (Erik Bågfors)
5550
5551
* Pull now accepts a --revision argument (Erik Bågfors)
5552
5553
* ``bzr re-sign`` now allows multiple revisions to be supplied on the command
5554
line. You can now use the following command to sign all of your old
5555
commits::
5556
5557
find .bzr/revision-store// -name my@email-* \
5558
| sed 's/.*\/\/..\///' \
5559
| xargs bzr re-sign
5560
5561
* Upgrade can now upgrade over the network. (Robert Collins)
5562
5563
* Two new commands 'bzr checkout' and 'bzr update' allow for CVS/SVN-alike
5564
behaviour. By default they will cache history in the checkout, but
5565
with --lightweight almost all data is kept in the master branch.
5566
(Robert Collins)
5567
5568
* 'revert' unversions newly-versioned files, instead of deleting them.
5569
5570
* 'merge' is more robust. Conflict messages have changed.
5571
5572
* 'merge' and 'revert' no longer clobber existing files that end in '~' or
5573
'.moved'.
5574
5575
* Default log format can be set in configuration and plugins can register
5576
their own formatters. (Erik Bågfors)
5577
5578
* New 'reconcile' command will check branch consistency and repair indexes
5579
that can become out of sync in pre 0.8 formats. (Robert Collins,
5580
Daniel Silverstone)
5581
5582
* New 'bzr init --format' and 'bzr upgrade --format' option to control
5583
what storage format is created or produced. (Robert Collins,
5584
Martin Pool)
5585
5586
* Add parent location to 'bzr info', if there is one. (Olaf Conradi)
5587
5588
* New developer commands 'weave-list' and 'weave-join'. (Martin Pool)
5589
5590
* New 'init-repository' command, plus support for repositories in 'init'
5591
and 'branch' (Aaron Bentley, Erik Bågfors, Robert Collins)
5592
5593
* Improve output of 'info' command. Show all relevant locations related to
5594
working tree, branch and repository. Use kibibytes for binary quantities.
5595
Fix off-by-one error in missing revisions of working tree. Make 'info'
5596
work on branches, repositories and remote locations. Show locations
5597
relative to the shared repository, if applicable. Show locking status
5598
of locations. (Olaf Conradi)
5599
5600
* Diff and merge now safely handle binary files. (Aaron Bentley)
5601
5602
* 'pull' and 'push' now normalise the revision history, so that any two
5603
branches with the same tip revision will have the same output from 'log'.
5604
(Robert Collins)
5605
5606
* 'merge' accepts --remember option to store parent location, like 'push'
5607
and 'pull'. (Olaf Conradi)
5608
5609
* bzr status and diff when files given as arguments do not exist
5610
in the relevant trees. (Martin Pool, #3619)
5611
5612
* Add '.hg' to the default ignore list. (Martin Pool)
5613
5614
* 'knit' is now the default disk format. This improves disk performance and
5615
utilization, increases incremental pull performance, robustness with SFTP
5616
and allows checkouts over SFTP to perform acceptably.
5617
The initial Knit code was contributed by Johan Rydberg based on a
5618
specification by Martin Pool.
5619
(Robert Collins, Aaron Bentley, Johan Rydberg, Martin Pool).
5620
5621
* New tool to generate all-in-one html version of the manual. (Alexander
5622
Belchenko)
5623
5624
* Hitting CTRL-C while doing an SFTP push will no longer cause stale locks
5625
to be left in the SFTP repository. (Robert Collins, Martin Pool).
5626
5627
* New option 'diff --prefix' to control how files are named in diff
5628
output, with shortcuts '-p0' and '-p1' corresponding to the options for
5629
GNU patch. (Alexander Belchenko, Goffredo Baroncelli, Martin Pool)
5630
5631
* Add --revision option to 'annotate' command. (Olaf Conradi)
5632
5633
* If bzr shows an unexpected revision-history after pulling (perhaps due
5634
to a reweave) it can now be corrected by 'bzr reconcile'.
5635
(Robert Collins)
5636
5637
CHANGES:
5638
5639
* Commit is now verbose by default, and shows changed filenames and the
5640
new revision number. (Robert Collins, Martin Pool)
5641
5642
* Unify 'mv', 'move', 'rename'. (Matthew Fuller, #5379)
5643
5644
* 'bzr -h' shows help. (Martin Pool, Ian Bicking, #35940)
5645
5646
* Make 'pull' and 'push' remember location on failure using --remember.
5647
(Olaf Conradi)
5648
5649
* For compatibility, make old format for using weaves inside metadir
5650
available as 'metaweave' format. Rename format 'metadir' to 'default'.
5651
Clean up help for option --format in commands 'init', 'init-repo' and
5652
'upgrade'. (Olaf Conradi)
5653
5654
INTERNALS:
5655
5656
* The internal storage of history, and logical branch identity have now
5657
been split into Branch, and Repository. The common locking and file
5658
management routines are now in bzrlib.lockablefiles.
5659
(Aaron Bentley, Robert Collins, Martin Pool)
5660
5661
* Transports can now raise DependencyNotPresent if they need a library
5662
which is not installed, and then another implementation will be
5663
tried. (Martin Pool)
5664
5665
* Remove obsolete (and no-op) `decode` parameter to `Transport.get`.
5666
(Martin Pool)
5667
5668
* Using Tree Transform for merge, revert, tree-building
5669
5670
* WorkingTree.create, Branch.create, ``WorkingTree.create_standalone``,
5671
Branch.initialize are now deprecated. Please see ``BzrDir.create_*`` for
5672
replacement API's. (Robert Collins)
5673
5674
* New BzrDir class represents the .bzr control directory and manages
5675
formatting issues. (Robert Collins)
5676
5677
* New repository.InterRepository class encapsulates Repository to
5678
Repository actions and allows for clean selection of optimised code
5679
paths. (Robert Collins)
5680
5681
* ``bzrlib.fetch.fetch`` and ``bzrlib.fetch.greedy_fetch`` are now
5682
deprecated, please use ``branch.fetch`` or ``repository.fetch``
5683
depending on your needs. (Robert Collins)
5684
5685
* deprecated methods now have a ``is_deprecated`` flag on them that can
5686
be checked, if you need to determine whether a given callable is
5687
deprecated at runtime. (Robert Collins)
5688
5689
* Progress bars are now nested - see
5690
``bzrlib.ui.ui_factory.nested_progress_bar``.
5691
(Robert Collins, Robey Pointer)
5692
5693
* New API call ``get_format_description()`` for each type of format.
5694
(Olaf Conradi)
5695
5696
* Changed ``branch.set_parent()`` to accept None to remove parent.
5697
(Olaf Conradi)
5698
5699
* Deprecated BzrError AmbiguousBase. (Olaf Conradi)
5700
5701
* WorkingTree.branch is now a read only property. (Robert Collins)
5702
5703
* bzrlib.ui.text.TextUIFactory now accepts a ``bar_type`` parameter which
5704
can be None or a factory that will create a progress bar. This is
5705
useful for testing or for overriding the bzrlib.progress heuristic.
5706
(Robert Collins)
5707
5708
* New API method ``get_physical_lock_status()`` to query locks present on a
5709
transport. (Olaf Conradi)
5710
5711
* Repository.reconcile now takes a thorough keyword parameter to allow
5712
requesting an indepth reconciliation, rather than just a data-loss
5713
check. (Robert Collins)
5714
5715
* ``bzrlib.ui.ui_factory protocol`` now supports ``get_boolean`` to prompt
5716
the user for yes/no style input. (Robert Collins)
5717
5718
TESTING:
5719
5720
* SFTP tests now shortcut the SSH negotiation, reducing test overhead
5721
for testing SFTP protocol support. (Robey Pointer)
5722
5723
* Branch formats are now tested once per implementation (see ``bzrlib.
5724
tests.branch_implementations``. This is analagous to the transport
5725
interface tests, and has been followed up with working tree,
5726
repository and BzrDir tests. (Robert Collins)
5727
5728
* New test base class TestCaseWithTransport provides a transport aware
5729
test environment, useful for testing any transport-interface using
5730
code. The test suite option --transport controls the transport used
5731
by this class (when its not being used as part of implementation
5732
contract testing). (Robert Collins)
5733
5734
* Close logging handler on disabling the test log. This will remove the
5735
handler from the internal list inside python's logging module,
5736
preventing shutdown from closing it twice. (Olaf Conradi)
5737
5738
* Move test case for uncommit to blackbox tests. (Olaf Conradi)
5739
5740
* ``run_bzr`` and ``run_bzr_captured`` now accept a 'stdin="foo"'
5741
parameter which will provide String("foo") to the command as its stdin.
5742
5743
bzr 0.7 2006-01-09
5744
------------------
5745
5746
CHANGES:
5747
5748
* .bzrignore is excluded from exports, on the grounds that it's a bzr
5749
internal-use file and may not be wanted. (Jamie Wilkinson)
5750
5751
* The "bzr directories" command were removed in favor of the new
5752
--kind option to the "bzr inventory" command. To list all
5753
versioned directories, now use "bzr inventory --kind directory".
5754
(Johan Rydberg)
5755
5756
* Under Windows configuration directory is now ``%APPDATA%\bazaar\2.0``
5757
by default. (John Arbash Meinel)
5758
5759
* The parent of Bzr configuration directory can be set by ``BZR_HOME``
5760
environment variable. Now the path for it is searched in ``BZR_HOME``,
5761
then in HOME. Under Windows the order is: ``BZR_HOME``, ``APPDATA``
5762
(usually points to ``C:\Documents and Settings\User Name\Application Data``),
5763
``HOME``. (John Arbash Meinel)
5764
5765
* Plugins with the same name in different directories in the bzr plugin
5766
path are no longer loaded: only the first successfully loaded one is
5767
used. (Robert Collins)
5768
5769
* Use systems' external ssh command to open connections if possible.
5770
This gives better integration with user settings such as ProxyCommand.
5771
(James Henstridge)
5772
5773
* Permissions on files underneath .bzr/ are inherited from the .bzr
5774
directory. So for a shared repository, simply doing 'chmod -R g+w .bzr/'
5775
will mean that future file will be created with group write permissions.
5776
5777
* configure.in and config.guess are no longer in the builtin default
5778
ignore list.
5779
5780
* '.sw[nop]' pattern ignored, to ignore vim swap files for nameless
5781
files. (John Arbash Meinel, Martin Pool)
5782
5783
IMPROVEMENTS:
5784
5785
* "bzr INIT dir" now initializes the specified directory, and creates
5786
it if it does not exist. (John Arbash Meinel)
5787
5788
* New remerge command (Aaron Bentley)
5789
5790
* Better zsh completion script. (Steve Borho)
5791
5792
* 'bzr diff' now returns 1 when there are changes in the working
5793
tree. (Robert Collins)
5794
5795
* 'bzr push' now exists and can push changes to a remote location.
5796
This uses the transport infrastructure, and can store the remote
5797
location in the ~/.bazaar/branches.conf configuration file.
5798
(Robert Collins)
5799
5800
* Test directories are only kept if the test fails and the user requests
5801
that they be kept.
5802
5803
* Tweaks to short log printing
5804
5805
* Added branch nicks, new nick command, printing them in log output.
5806
(Aaron Bentley)
5807
5808
* If ``$BZR_PDB`` is set, pop into the debugger when an uncaught exception
5809
occurs. (Martin Pool)
5810
5811
* Accept 'bzr resolved' (an alias for 'bzr resolve'), as this is
5812
the same as Subversion. (Martin Pool)
5813
5814
* New ftp transport support (on ftplib), for ftp:// and aftp://
5815
URLs. (Daniel Silverstone)
5816
5817
* Commit editor temporary files now start with ``bzr_log.``, to allow
5818
text editors to match the file name and set up appropriate modes or
5819
settings. (Magnus Therning)
5820
5821
* Improved performance when integrating changes from a remote weave.
5822
(Goffredo Baroncelli)
5823
5824
* Sftp will attempt to cache the connection, so it is more likely that
5825
a connection will be reused, rather than requiring multiple password
5826
requests.
5827
5828
* bzr revno now takes an optional argument indicating the branch whose
5829
revno should be printed. (Michael Ellerman)
5830
5831
* bzr cat defaults to printing the last version of the file.
5832
(Matthieu Moy, #3632)
5833
5834
* New global option 'bzr --lsprof COMMAND' runs bzr under the lsprof
5835
profiler. (Denys Duchier)
5836
5837
* Faster commits by reading only the headers of affected weave files.
5838
(Denys Duchier)
5839
5840
* 'bzr add' now takes a --dry-run parameter which shows you what would be
5841
added, but doesn't actually add anything. (Michael Ellerman)
5842
5843
* 'bzr add' now lists how many files were ignored per glob. add --verbose
5844
lists the specific files. (Aaron Bentley)
5845
5846
* 'bzr missing' now supports displaying changes in diverged trees and can
5847
be limited to show what either end of the comparison is missing.
5848
(Aaron Bently, with a little prompting from Daniel Silverstone)
5849
5850
BUG FIXES:
5851
5852
* SFTP can walk up to the root path without index errors. (Robert Collins)
5853
5854
* Fix bugs in running bzr with 'python -O'. (Martin Pool)
5855
5856
* Error when run with -OO
5857
5858
* Fix bug in reporting http errors that don't have an http error code.
5859
(Martin Pool)
5860
5861
* Handle more cases of pipe errors in display commands
5862
5863
* Change status to 3 for all errors
5864
5865
* Files that are added and unlinked before committing are completely
5866
ignored by diff and status
5867
5868
* Stores with some compressed texts and some uncompressed texts are now
5869
able to be used. (John A Meinel)
5870
5871
* Fix for bzr pull failing sometimes under windows
5872
5873
* Fix for sftp transport under windows when using interactive auth
5874
5875
* Show files which are both renamed and modified as such in 'bzr
5876
status' output. (Daniel Silverstone, #4503)
5877
5878
* Make annotate cope better with revisions committed without a valid
5879
email address. (Marien Zwart)
5880
5881
* Fix representation of tab characters in commit messages.
5882
(Harald Meland)
5883
5884
* List of plugin directories in ``BZR_PLUGIN_PATH`` environment variable is
5885
now parsed properly under Windows. (Alexander Belchenko)
5886
5887
* Show number of revisions pushed/pulled/merged. (Robey Pointer)
5888
5889
* Keep a cached copy of the basis inventory to speed up operations
5890
that need to refer to it. (Johan Rydberg, Martin Pool)
5891
5892
* Fix bugs in bzr status display of non-ascii characters.
5893
(Martin Pool)
5894
5895
* Remove Makefile.in from default ignore list.
5896
(Tollef Fog Heen, Martin Pool, #6413)
5897
5898
* Fix failure in 'bzr added'. (Nathan McCallum, Martin Pool)
5899
5900
TESTING:
5901
5902
* Fix selftest asking for passwords when there are no SFTP keys.
5903
(Robey Pointer, Jelmer Vernooij)
5904
5905
* Fix selftest run with 'python -O'. (Martin Pool)
5906
5907
* Fix HTTP tests under Windows. (John Arbash Meinel)
5908
5909
* Make tests work even if HOME is not set (Aaron Bentley)
5910
5911
* Updated ``build_tree`` to use fixed line-endings for tests which read
5912
the file cotents and compare. Make some tests use this to pass under
5913
Windows. (John Arbash Meinel)
5914
5915
* Skip stat and symlink tests under Windows. (Alexander Belchenko)
5916
5917
* Delay in selftest/testhashcash is now issued under win32 and Cygwin.
5918
(John Arbash Meinel)
5919
5920
* Use terminal width to align verbose test output. (Martin Pool)
5921
5922
* Blackbox tests are maintained within the bzrlib.tests.blackbox directory.
5923
If adding a new test script please add that to
5924
``bzrlib.tests.blackbox.__init__``. (Robert Collins)
5925
5926
* Much better error message if one of the test suites can't be
5927
imported. (Martin Pool)
5928
5929
* Make check now runs the test suite twice - once with the default locale,
5930
and once with all locales forced to C, to expose bugs. This is not
5931
trivially done within python, so for now its only triggered by running
5932
Make check. Integrators and packagers who wish to check for full
5933
platform support should run 'make check' to test the source.
5934
(Robert Collins)
5935
5936
* Tests can now run TestSkipped if they can't execute for any reason.
5937
(Martin Pool) (NB: TestSkipped should only be raised for correctable
5938
reasons - see the wiki spec ImprovingBzrTestSuite).
5939
5940
* Test sftp with relative, absolute-in-homedir and absolute-not-in-homedir
5941
paths for the transport tests. Introduce blackbox remote sftp tests that
5942
test the same permutations. (Robert Collins, Robey Pointer)
5943
5944
* Transport implementation tests are now independent of the local file
5945
system, which allows tests for esoteric transports, and for features
5946
not available in the local file system. They also repeat for variations
5947
on the URL scheme that can introduce issues in the transport code,
5948
see bzrlib.transport.TransportTestProviderAdapter() for this.
5949
(Robert Collins).
5950
5951
* ``TestCase.build_tree`` uses the transport interface to build trees,
5952
pass in a transport parameter to give it an existing connection.
5953
(Robert Collins).
5954
5955
INTERNALS:
5956
5957
* WorkingTree.pull has been split across Branch and WorkingTree,
5958
to allow Branch only pulls. (Robert Collins)
5959
5960
* ``commands.display_command`` now returns the result of the decorated
5961
function. (Robert Collins)
5962
5963
* LocationConfig now has a ``set_user_option(key, value)`` call to save
5964
a setting in its matching location section (a new one is created
5965
if needed). (Robert Collins)
5966
5967
* Branch has two new methods, ``get_push_location`` and
5968
``set_push_location`` to respectively, get and set the push location.
5969
(Robert Collins)
5970
5971
* ``commands.register_command`` now takes an optional flag to signal that
5972
the registrant is planning to decorate an existing command. When
5973
given multiple plugins registering a command is not an error, and
5974
the original command class (whether built in or a plugin based one) is
5975
returned to the caller. There is a new error 'MustUseDecorated' for
5976
signalling when a wrapping command should switch to the original
5977
version. (Robert Collins)
5978
5979
* Some option parsing errors will raise 'BzrOptionError', allowing
5980
granular detection for decorating commands. (Robert Collins).
5981
5982
* ``Branch.read_working_inventory`` has moved to
5983
``WorkingTree.read_working_inventory``. This necessitated changes to
5984
``Branch.get_root_id``, and a move of ``Branch.set_inventory`` to
5985
WorkingTree as well. To make it clear that a WorkingTree cannot always
5986
be obtained ``Branch.working_tree()`` will raise
5987
``errors.NoWorkingTree`` if one cannot be obtained. (Robert Collins)
5988
5989
* All pending merges operations from Branch are now on WorkingTree.
5990
(Robert Collins)
5991
5992
* The follow operations from Branch have moved to WorkingTree::
5993
5994
add()
5995
commit()
5996
move()
5997
rename_one()
5998
unknowns()
5999
6000
(Robert Collins)
6001
6002
* ``bzrlib.add.smart_add_branch`` is now ``smart_add_tree``. (Robert Collins)
6003
6004
* New "rio" serialization format, similar to rfc-822. (Martin Pool)
6005
6006
* Rename selftests to ``bzrlib.tests.test_foo``. (John A Meinel, Martin
6007
Pool)
6008
6009
* ``bzrlib.plugin.all_plugins`` has been changed from an attribute to a
6010
query method. (Robert Collins)
6011
6012
* New options to read only the table-of-contents of a weave.
6013
(Denys Duchier)
6014
6015
* Raise NoSuchFile when someone tries to add a non-existant file.
6016
(Michael Ellerman)
6017
6018
* Simplify handling of DivergedBranches in ``cmd_pull()``.
6019
(Michael Ellerman)
6020
6021
* Branch.controlfile* logic has moved to lockablefiles.LockableFiles, which
6022
is exposed as ``Branch().control_files``. Also this has been altered with the
6023
controlfile pre/suffix replaced by simple method names like 'get' and
6024
'put'. (Aaron Bentley, Robert Collins).
6025
6026
* Deprecated functions and methods can now be marked as such using the
6027
``bzrlib.symbol_versioning`` module. Marked method have their docstring
6028
updated and will issue a DeprecationWarning using the warnings module
6029
when they are used. (Robert Collins)
6030
6031
* ``bzrlib.osutils.safe_unicode`` now exists to provide parameter coercion
6032
for functions that need unicode strings. (Robert Collins)

------------------
6036
6037
IMPROVEMENTS:
6038
6039
* pull now takes --verbose to show you what revisions are added or removed
6040
(John A Meinel)
6041
6042
* merge now takes a --show-base option to include the base text in
6043
conflicts.
6044
(Aaron Bentley)
6045
6046
* The config files are now read using ConfigObj, so '=' should be used as
6047
a separator, not ':'.
6048
(Aaron Bentley)
6049
6050
* New 'bzr commit --strict' option refuses to commit if there are
6051
any unknown files in the tree. To commit, make sure all files are
6052
either ignored, added, or deleted. (Michael Ellerman)
6053
6054
* The config directory is now ~/.bazaar, and there is a single file
6055
~/.bazaar/bazaar.conf storing email, editor and other preferences.
6056
(Robert Collins)
6057
6058
* 'bzr add' no longer takes a --verbose option, and a --quiet option
6059
has been added that suppresses all output.
6060
6061
* Improved zsh completion support in contrib/zsh, from Clint
6062
Adams.
6063
6064
* Builtin 'bzr annotate' command, by Martin Pool with improvements from
6065
Goffredo Baroncelli.
6066
6067
* 'bzr check' now accepts -v for verbose reporting, and checks for
6068
ghosts in the branch. (Robert Collins)
6069
6070
* New command 're-sign' which will regenerate the gpg signature for
6071
a revision. (Robert Collins)
6072
6073
* If you set ``check_signatures=require`` for a path in
6074
``~/.bazaar/branches.conf`` then bzr will invoke your
6075
``gpg_signing_command`` (defaults to gpg) and record a digital signature
6076
of your commit. (Robert Collins)
6077
6078
* New sftp transport, based on Paramiko. (Robey Pointer)
6079
6080
* 'bzr pull' now accepts '--clobber' which will discard local changes
6081
and make this branch identical to the source branch. (Robert Collins)
6082
6083
* Just give a quieter warning if a plugin can't be loaded, and
6084
put the details in .bzr.log. (Martin Pool)
6085
6086
* 'bzr branch' will now set the branch-name to the last component of the
6087
output directory, if one was supplied.
6088
6089
* If the option ``post_commit`` is set to one (or more) python function
6090
names (must be in the bzrlib namespace), then they will be invoked
6091
after the commit has completed, with the branch and ``revision_id`` as
6092
parameters. (Robert Collins)
6093
6094
* Merge now has a retcode of 1 when conflicts occur. (Robert Collins)
6095
6096
* --merge-type weave is now supported for file contents. Tree-shape
6097
changes are still three-way based. (Martin Pool, Aaron Bentley)
6098
6099
* 'bzr check' allows the first revision on revision-history to have
6100
parents - something that is expected for cheap checkouts, and occurs
6101
when conversions from baz do not have all history. (Robert Collins).
6102
6103
* 'bzr merge' can now graft unrelated trees together, if your specify
6104
0 as a base. (Aaron Bentley)
6105
6106
* 'bzr commit branch' and 'bzr commit branch/file1 branch/file2' now work
6107
(Aaron Bentley)
6108
6109
* Add '.sconsign*' to default ignore list. (Alexander Belchenko)
6110
6111
* 'bzr merge --reprocess' minimizes conflicts
6112
6113
TESTING:
6114
6115
* The 'bzr selftest --pattern' option for has been removed, now
6116
test specifiers on the command line can be simple strings, or
6117
regexps, or both. (Robert Collins)
6118
6119
* Passing -v to selftest will now show the time each test took to
6120
complete, which will aid in analysing performance regressions and
6121
related questions. (Robert Collins)
6122
6123
* 'bzr selftest' runs all tests, even if one fails, unless '--one'
6124
is given. (Martin Pool)
6125
6126
* There is a new method for TestCaseInTempDir, assertFileEqual, which
6127
will check that a given content is equal to the content of the named
6128
file. (Robert Collins)
6129
6130
* Fix test suite's habit of leaving many temporary log files in $TMPDIR.
6131
(Martin Pool)
6132
6133
INTERNALS:
6134
6135
* New 'testament' command and concept for making gpg-signatures
6136
of revisions that are not tied to a particular internal
6137
representation. (Martin Pool).
6138
6139
* Per-revision properties ('revprops') as key-value associated
6140
strings on each revision created when the revision is committed.
6141
Intended mainly for the use of external tools. (Martin Pool).
6142
6143
* Config options have moved from bzrlib.osutils to bzrlib.config.
6144
(Robert Collins)
6145
6146
* Improved command line option definitions allowing explanations
6147
for individual options, among other things. Contributed by
6148
Magnus Therning.
6149
6150
* Config options have moved from bzrlib.osutils to bzrlib.config.
6151
Configuration is now done via the config.Config interface:
6152
Depending on whether you have a Branch, a Location or no information
6153
available, construct a ``*Config``, and use its ``signature_checking``,
6154
``username`` and ``user_email`` methods. (Robert Collins)
6155
6156
* Plugins are now loaded under bzrlib.plugins, not bzrlib.plugin, and
6157
they are made available for other plugins to use. You should not
6158
import other plugins during the ``__init__`` of your plugin though, as
6159
no ordering is guaranteed, and the plugins directory is not on the
6160
python path. (Robert Collins)
6161
6162
* Branch.relpath has been moved to WorkingTree.relpath. WorkingTree no
6163
no longer takes an inventory, rather it takes an option branch
6164
parameter, and if None is given will open the branch at basedir
6165
implicitly. (Robert Collins)
6166
6167
* Cleaner exception structure and error reporting. Suggested by
6168
Scott James Remnant. (Martin Pool)
6169
6170
* Branch.remove has been moved to WorkingTree, which has also gained
6171
``lock_read``, ``lock_write`` and ``unlock`` methods for convenience.
6172
(Robert Collins)
6173
6174
* Two decorators, ``needs_read_lock`` and ``needs_write_lock`` have been
6175
added to the branch module. Use these to cause a function to run in a
6176
read or write lock respectively. (Robert Collins)
6177
6178
* ``Branch.open_containing`` now returns a tuple (Branch, relative-path),
6179
which allows direct access to the common case of 'get me this file
6180
from its branch'. (Robert Collins)
6181
6182
* Transports can register using ``register_lazy_transport``, and they
6183
will be loaded when first used. (Martin Pool)
6184
6185
* 'pull' has been factored out of the command as ``WorkingTree.pull()``.
6186
A new option to WorkingTree.pull has been added, clobber, which will
6187
ignore diverged history and pull anyway.
6188
(Robert Collins)
6189
6190
* config.Config has a ``get_user_option`` call that accepts an option name.
6191
This will be looked up in branches.conf and bazaar.conf as normal.
6192
It is intended that this be used by plugins to support options -
6193
options of built in programs should have specific methods on the config.
6194
(Robert Collins)
6195
6196
* ``merge.merge_inner`` now has tempdir as an optional parameter.
6197
(Robert Collins)
6198
6199
* Tree.kind is not recorded at the top level of the hierarchy, as it was
6200
missing on EmptyTree, leading to a bug with merge on EmptyTrees.
6201
(Robert Collins)
6202
6203
* ``WorkingTree.__del__`` has been removed, it was non deterministic and not
6204
doing what it was intended to. See ``WorkingTree.__init__`` for a comment
6205
about future directions. (Robert Collins/Martin Pool)
6206
6207
* bzrlib.transport.http has been modified so that only 404 urllib errors
6208
are returned as NoSuchFile. Other exceptions will propogate as normal.
6209
This allows debuging of actual errors. (Robert Collins)
6210
6211
* bzrlib.transport.Transport now accepts *ONLY* url escaped relative paths
6212
to apis like 'put', 'get' and 'has'. This is to provide consistent
6213
behaviour - it operates on url's only. (Robert Collins)
6214
6215
* Transports can register using ``register_lazy_transport``, and they
6216
will be loaded when first used. (Martin Pool)
6217
6218
* ``merge_flex`` no longer calls ``conflict_handler.finalize()``, instead that
6219
is called by ``merge_inner``. This is so that the conflict count can be
6220
retrieved (and potentially manipulated) before returning to the caller
6221
of ``merge_inner``. Likewise 'merge' now returns the conflict count to the
6222
caller. (Robert Collins)
6223
6224
* ``revision.revision_graph`` can handle having only partial history for
6225
a revision - that is no revisions in the graph with no parents.
6226
(Robert Collins).
6227
6228
* New ``builtins.branch_files`` uses the standard ``file_list`` rules to
6229
produce a branch and a list of paths, relative to that branch
6230
(Aaron Bentley)
6231
6232
* New TestCase.addCleanup facility.
6233
6234
* New ``bzrlib.version_info`` tuple (similar to ``sys.version_info``),
6235
which can be used by programs importing bzrlib.
6236
6237
BUG FIXES:
6238
6239
* Better handling of branches in directories with non-ascii names.
6240
(Joel Rosdahl, Panagiotis Papadakos)
6241
6242
* Upgrades of trees with no commits will not fail due to accessing
6243
[-1] in the revision-history. (Andres Salomon)
6244
6245
6246
bzr 0.1.1 2005-10-12
6247
--------------------
6248
6249
BUG FIXES:
6250
6251
* Fix problem in pulling over http from machines that do not
6252
allow directories to be listed.
6253
6254
* Avoid harmless warning about invalid hash cache after
6255
upgrading branch format.
6256
6257
PERFORMANCE:
6258
6259
* Avoid some unnecessary http operations in branch and pull.

6261
6262
bzr 0.1 2005-10-11
6263
------------------
6264
6265
NOTES:
6266
6267
* 'bzr branch' over http initially gives a very high estimate
6268
of completion time but it should fall as the first few
6269
revisions are pulled in. branch is still slow on
6270
high-latency connections.
6271
6272
BUG FIXES:
6273
6274
* bzr-man.py has been updated to work again. Contributed by
6275
Rob Weir.
6276
6277
* Locking is now done with fcntl.lockf which works with NFS
6278
file systems. Contributed by Harald Meland.
6279
6280
* When a merge encounters a file that has been deleted on
6281
one side and modified on the other, the old contents are
6282
written out to foo.BASE and foo.SIDE, where SIDE is this
6283
or OTHER. Contributed by Aaron Bentley.
6284
6285
* Export was choosing incorrect file paths for the content of
6286
the tarball, this has been fixed by Aaron Bentley.
6287
6288
* Commit will no longer commit without a log message, an
6289
error is returned instead. Contributed by Jelmer Vernooij.
6290
6291
* If you commit a specific file in a sub directory, any of its
6292
parent directories that are added but not listed will be
6293
automatically included. Suggested by Michael Ellerman.
6294
6295
* bzr commit and upgrade did not correctly record new revisions
6296
for files with only a change to their executable status.
6297
bzr will correct this when it encounters it. Fixed by
6298
Robert Collins
6299
6300
* HTTP tests now force off the use of ``http_proxy`` for the duration.
6301
Contributed by Gustavo Niemeyer.
6302
6303
* Fix problems in merging weave-based branches that have
6304
different partial views of history.
6305
6306
* Symlink support: working with symlinks when not in the root of a
6307
bzr tree was broken, patch from Scott James Remnant.
6308
6309
IMPROVEMENTS:
6310
6311
* 'branch' now accepts a --basis parameter which will take advantage
6312
of local history when making a new branch. This allows faster
6313
branching of remote branches. Contributed by Aaron Bentley.
6314
6315
* New tree format based on weave files, called version 5.
6316
Existing branches can be upgraded to this format using
6317
'bzr upgrade'.
6318
6319
* Symlinks are now versionable. Initial patch by
6320
Erik Toubro Nielsen, updated to head by Robert Collins.
6321
6322
* Executable bits are tracked on files. Patch from Gustavo
6323
Niemeyer.
6324
6325
* 'bzr status' now shows unknown files inside a selected directory.
6326
Patch from Heikki Paajanen.
6327
6328
* Merge conflicts are recorded in .bzr. Two new commands 'conflicts'
6329
and 'resolve' have needed added, which list and remove those
6330
merge conflicts respectively. A conflicted tree cannot be committed
6331
in. Contributed by Aaron Bentley.
6332
6333
* 'rm' is now an alias for 'remove'.
6334
6335
* Stores now split out their content in a single byte prefixed hash,
6336
dropping the density of files per directory by 256. Contributed by
6337
Gustavo Niemeyer.
6338
6339
* 'bzr diff -r branch:URL' will now perform a diff between two branches.
6340
Contributed by Robert Collins.
6341
6342
* 'bzr log' with the default formatter will show merged revisions,
6343
indented to the right. Initial implementation contributed by Gustavo
6344
Niemeyer, made incremental by Robert Collins.
6345
6346
6347
INTERNALS:
6348
6349
* Test case failures have the exception printed after the log
6350
for your viewing pleasure.
6351
6352
* InventoryEntry is now an abstract base class, use one of the
6353
concrete InventoryDirectory etc classes instead.
6354
6355
* Branch raises an UnsupportedFormatError when it detects a
6356
bzr branch it cannot understand. This allows for precise
6357
handling of such circumstances.
6358
6359
* Remove RevisionReference class; ``Revision.parent_ids`` is now simply a
6360
list of their ids and ``parent_sha1s`` is a list of their corresponding
6361
sha1s (for old branches only at the moment.)
6362
6363
* New method-object style interface for Commit() and Fetch().
6364
6365
* Renamed ``Branch.last_patch()`` to ``Branch.last_revision()``, since
6366
we call them revisions not patches.
6367
6368
* Move ``copy_branch`` to ``bzrlib.clone.copy_branch``. The destination
6369
directory is created if it doesn't exist.
6370
6371
* Inventories now identify the files which were present by
6372
giving the revision *of that file*.
6373
6374
* Inventory and Revision XML contains a version identifier.
6375
This must be consistent with the overall branch version
6376
but allows for more flexibility in future upgrades.
6377
6378
TESTING:
6379
6380
* Removed testsweet module so that tests can be run after
6381
bzr installed by 'bzr selftest'.
6382
6383
* 'bzr selftest' command-line arguments can now be partial ids
6384
of tests to run, e.g. ``bzr selftest test_weave``
6385
6386
6387
bzr 0.0.9 2005-09-23
6388
--------------------
6389
6390
BUG FIXES:
6391
6392
* Fixed "branch -r" option.
6393
6394
* Fix remote access to branches containing non-compressed history.
6395
(Robert Collins).
6396
6397
* Better reliability of http server tests. (John Arbash-Meinel)
6398
6399
* Merge graph maximum distance calculation fix. (Aaron Bentley)
6400
6401
* Various minor bug in windows support have been fixed, largely in the
6402
test suite. Contributed by Alexander Belchenko.
6403
6404
IMPROVEMENTS:
6405
6406
* Status now accepts a -r argument to give status between chosen
6407
revisions. Contributed by Heikki Paajanen.
6408
6409
* Revision arguments no longer use +/-/= to control ranges, instead
6410
there is a 'before' namespace, which limits the successive namespace.
6411
For example '$ bzr log -r date:yesterday..before:date:today' will
6412
select everything from yesterday and before today. Contributed by
6413
Robey Pointer
6414
6415
* There is now a bzr.bat file created by distutils when building on
6416
Windows. Contributed by Alexander Belchenko.
6417
6418
INTERNALS:
6419
6420
* Removed uuid() as it was unused.
6421
6422
* Improved 'fetch' code for pulling revisions from one branch into
6423
another (used by pull, merged, etc.)
6424
6425
6426
bzr 0.0.8 2005-09-20
6427
--------------------
6428
6429
IMPROVEMENTS:
6430
6431
* Adding a file whose parent directory is not versioned will
6432
implicitly add the parent, and so on up to the root. This means
6433
you should never need to explictly add a directory, they'll just
6434
get added when you add a file in the directory. Contributed by
6435
Michael Ellerman.
6436
6437
* Ignore ``.DS_Store`` (contains Mac metadata) by default.
6438
(Nir Soffer)
6439
6440
* If you set ``BZR_EDITOR`` in the environment, it is checked in
6441
preference to EDITOR and the config file for the interactive commit
6442
editing program. Related to this is a bugfix where a missing program
6443
set in EDITOR would cause editing to fail, now the fallback program
6444
for the operating system is still tried.
6445
6446
* Files that are not directories/symlinks/regular files will no longer
6447
cause bzr to fail, it will just ignore them by default. You cannot add
6448
them to the tree though - they are not versionable.
6449
6450
6451
INTERNALS:
6452
6453
* Refactor xml packing/unpacking.
6454
6455
BUG FIXES:
6456
6457
* Fixed 'bzr mv' by Ollie Rutherfurd.
6458
6459
* Fixed strange error when trying to access a nonexistent http
6460
branch.
6461
6462
* Make sure that the hashcache gets written out if it can't be
6463
read.
6464
6465
6466
PORTABILITY:
6467
6468
* Various Windows fixes from Ollie Rutherfurd.
6469
6470
* Quieten warnings about locking; patch from Matt Lavin.

bzr-0.0.7 2005-09-02
6474
--------------------
6475
6476
NEW FEATURES:
6477
6478
* ``bzr shell-complete`` command contributed by Clint Adams to
6479
help with intelligent shell completion.
6480
6481
* New expert command ``bzr find-merge-base`` for debugging merges.
6482
6483
6484
ENHANCEMENTS:
6485
6486
* Much better merge support.
6487
6488
* merge3 conflicts are now reported with markers like '<<<<<<<'
6489
(seven characters) which is the same as CVS and pleases things
6490
like emacs smerge.
6491
6492
6493
BUG FIXES:
6494
6495
* ``bzr upgrade`` no longer fails when trying to fix trees that
6496
mention revisions that are not present.
6497
6498
* Fixed bugs in listing plugins from ``bzr plugins``.
6499
6500
* Fix case of $EDITOR containing options for the editor.
6501
6502
* Fix log -r refusing to show the last revision.
6503
(Patch from Goffredo Baroncelli.)
6504
6505
6506
CHANGES:
6507
6508
* ``bzr log --show-ids`` shows the revision ids of all parents.
6509
6510
* Externally provided commands on your $BZRPATH no longer need
6511
to recognize --bzr-usage to work properly, and can just handle
6512
--help themselves.
6513
6514
6515
LIBRARY:
6516
6517
* Changed trace messages to go through the standard logging
6518
framework, so that they can more easily be redirected by
6519
libraries.
6520
6521
6522
6523
bzr-0.0.6 2005-08-18
6524
--------------------
6525
6526
NEW FEATURES:
6527
6528
* Python plugins, automatically loaded from the directories on
6529
``BZR_PLUGIN_PATH`` or ``~/.bzr.conf/plugins`` by default.
6530
6531
* New 'bzr mkdir' command.
6532
6533
* Commit mesage is fetched from an editor if not given on the
6534
command line; patch from Torsten Marek.
6535
6536
* ``bzr log -m FOO`` displays commits whose message matches regexp
6537
FOO.
6538
6539
* ``bzr add`` with no arguments adds everything under the current directory.
6540
6541
* ``bzr mv`` does move or rename depending on its arguments, like
6542
the Unix command.
6543
6544
* ``bzr missing`` command shows a summary of the differences
6545
between two trees. (Merged from John Arbash-Meinel.)
6546
6547
* An email address for commits to a particular tree can be
6548
specified by putting it into .bzr/email within a branch. (Based
6549
on a patch from Heikki Paajanen.)
6550
6551
6552
ENHANCEMENTS:
6553
6554
* Faster working tree operations.
6555
6556
6557
CHANGES:
6558
6559
* 3rd-party modules shipped with bzr are copied within the bzrlib
6560
python package, so that they can be installed by the setup
6561
script without clashing with anything already existing on the
6562
system. (Contributed by Gustavo Niemeyer.)
6563
6564
* Moved plugins directory to bzrlib/, so that there's a standard
6565
plugin directory which is not only installed with bzr itself but
6566
is also available when using bzr from the development tree.
6567
``BZR_PLUGIN_PATH`` and ``DEFAULT_PLUGIN_PATH`` are then added to the
6568
standard plugins directory.
6569
6570
* When exporting to a tarball with ``bzr export --format tgz``, put
6571
everything under a top directory rather than dumping it into the
6572
current directory. This can be overridden with the ``--root``
6573
option. Patch from William Dodé and John Meinel.
6574
6575
* New ``bzr upgrade`` command to upgrade the format of a branch,
6576
replacing ``bzr check --update``.
6577
6578
* Files within store directories are no longer marked readonly on
6579
disk.
6580
6581
* Changed ``bzr log`` output to a more compact form suggested by
6582
John A Meinel. Old format is available with the ``--long`` or
6583
``-l`` option, patched by William Dodé.
6584
6585
* By default the commit command refuses to record a revision with
6586
no changes unless the ``--unchanged`` option is given.
6587
6588
* The ``--no-plugins``, ``--profile`` and ``--builtin`` command
6589
line options must come before the command name because they
6590
affect what commands are available; all other options must come
6591
after the command name because their interpretation depends on
6592
it.
6593
6594
* ``branch`` and ``clone`` added as aliases for ``branch``.
6595
6596
* Default log format is back to the long format; the compact one
6597
is available with ``--short``.
6598
6599
6600
BUG FIXES:
6601
6602
* Fix bugs in committing only selected files or within a subdirectory.
6603
6604
6605
bzr-0.0.5 2005-06-15
6606
---------------------
6607
6608
CHANGES:
6609
6610
* ``bzr`` with no command now shows help rather than giving an
6611
error. Suggested by Michael Ellerman.
6612
6613
* ``bzr status`` output format changed, because svn-style output
6614
doesn't really match the model of bzr. Now files are grouped by
6615
status and can be shown with their IDs. ``bzr status --all``
6616
shows all versioned files and unknown files but not ignored files.
6617
6618
* ``bzr log`` runs from most-recent to least-recent, the reverse
6619
of the previous order. The previous behaviour can be obtained
6620
with the ``--forward`` option.
6621
6622
* ``bzr inventory`` by default shows only filenames, and also ids
6623
if ``--show-ids`` is given, in which case the id is the second
6624
field.
6625
6626
6627
ENHANCEMENTS:
6628
6629
* New 'bzr whoami --email' option shows only the email component
6630
of the user identification, from Jo Vermeulen.
6631
6632
* New ``bzr ignore PATTERN`` command.
6633
6634
* Nicer error message for broken pipe, interrupt and similar
6635
conditions that don't indicate an internal error.
6636
6637
* Add ``.*.sw[nop] .git .*.tmp *,v`` to default ignore patterns.
6638
6639
* Per-branch locks keyed on ``.bzr/branch-lock``, available in
6640
either read or write mode.
6641
6642
* New option ``bzr log --show-ids`` shows revision and file ids.
6643
6644
* New usage ``bzr log FILENAME`` shows only revisions that
6645
affected that file.
6646
6647
* Changed format for describing changes in ``bzr log -v``.
6648
6649
* New option ``bzr commit --file`` to take a message from a file,
6650
suggested by LarstiQ.
6651
6652
* New syntax ``bzr status [FILE...]`` contributed by Bartosz
6653
Oler. File may be in a branch other than the working directory.
6654
6655
* ``bzr log`` and ``bzr root`` can be given an http URL instead of
6656
a filename.
6657
6658
* Commands can now be defined by external programs or scripts
6659
in a directory on $BZRPATH.
6660
6661
* New "stat cache" avoids reading the contents of files if they
6662
haven't changed since the previous time.
6663
6664
* If the Python interpreter is too old, try to find a better one
6665
or give an error. Based on a patch from Fredrik Lundh.
6666
6667
* New optional parameter ``bzr info [BRANCH]``.
6668
6669
* New form ``bzr commit SELECTED`` to commit only selected files.
6670
6671
* New form ``bzr log -r FROM:TO`` shows changes in selected
6672
range; contributed by John A Meinel.
6673
6674
* New option ``bzr diff --diff-options 'OPTS'`` allows passing
6675
options through to an external GNU diff.
6676
6677
* New option ``bzr add --no-recurse`` to add a directory but not
6678
their contents.
6679
6680
* ``bzr --version`` now shows more information if bzr is being run
6681
from a branch.
6682
6683
6684
BUG FIXES:
6685
6686
* Fixed diff format so that added and removed files will be
6687
handled properly by patch. Fix from Lalo Martins.
6688
6689
* Various fixes for files whose names contain spaces or other
6690
metacharacters.
6691
6692
6693
TESTING:
6694
6695
* Converted black-box test suites from Bourne shell into Python;
6696
now run using ``./testbzr``. Various structural improvements to
6697
the tests.
6698
6699
* testbzr by default runs the version of bzr found in the same
6700
directory as the tests, or the one given as the first parameter.
6701
6702
* testbzr also runs the internal tests, so the only command
6703
required to check is just ``./testbzr``.
6704
6705
* testbzr requires python2.4, but can be used to test bzr running
6706
under a different version.
6707
6708
* Tests added for many other changes in this release.
6709
6710
6711
INTERNAL:
6712
6713
* Included ElementTree library upgraded to 1.2.6 by Fredrik Lundh.
6714
6715
* Refactor command functions into Command objects based on HCT by
6716
Scott James Remnant.
6717
6718
* Better help messages for many commands.
6719
6720
* Expose ``bzrlib.open_tracefile()`` to start the tracefile; until
6721
this is called trace messages are just discarded.
6722
6723
* New internal function ``find_touching_revisions()`` and hidden
6724
command touching-revisions trace the changes to a given file.
6725
6726
* Simpler and faster ``compare_inventories()`` function.
6727
6728
* ``bzrlib.open_tracefile()`` takes a tracefilename parameter.
6729
6730
* New AtomicFile class.
6731
6732
* New developer commands ``added``, ``modified``.
6733
6734
6735
PORTABILITY:
6736
6737
* Cope on Windows on python2.3 by using the weaker random seed.
6738
2.4 is now only recommended.
6739
6740
6741
bzr-0.0.4 2005-04-22
6742
---------------------
6743
6744
ENHANCEMENTS:
6745
6746
* 'bzr diff' optionally takes a list of files to diff. Still a bit
6747
basic. Patch from QuantumG.
6748
6749
* More default ignore patterns.
6750
6751
* New 'bzr log --verbose' shows a list of files changed in the
6752
changeset. Patch from Sebastian Cote.
6753
6754
* Roll over ~/.bzr.log if it gets too large.
6755
6756
* Command abbreviations 'ci', 'st', 'stat', '?' based on a patch
6757
by Jason Diamon.
6758
6759
* New 'bzr help commands' based on a patch from Denys Duchier.
6760
6761
6762
CHANGES:
6763
6764
* User email is determined by looking at $BZREMAIL or ~/.bzr.email
6765
or $EMAIL. All are decoded by the locale preferred encoding.
6766
If none of these are present user@hostname is used. The host's
6767
fully-qualified name is not used because that tends to fail when
6768
there are DNS problems.
6769
6770
* New 'bzr whoami' command instead of username user-email.
6771
6772
6773
BUG FIXES:
6774
6775
* Make commit safe for hardlinked bzr trees.
6776
6777
* Some Unicode/locale fixes.
6778
6779
* Partial workaround for ``difflib.unified_diff`` not handling
6780
trailing newlines properly.
6781
6782
6783
INTERNAL:
6784
6785
* Allow docstrings for help to be in PEP0257 format. Patch from
6786
Matt Brubeck.
6787
6788
* More tests in test.sh.
6789
6790
* Write profile data to a temporary file not into working
6791
directory and delete it when done.
6792
6793
* Smaller .bzr.log with process ids.
6794
6795
6796
PORTABILITY:
6797
6798
* Fix opening of ~/.bzr.log on Windows. Patch from Andrew
6799
Bennetts.
6800
6801
* Some improvements in handling paths on Windows, based on a patch
6802
from QuantumG.

6809
6810
* New "directories" internal command lists versioned directories
6811
in the tree.
6812
6813
* Can now say "bzr commit --help".
6814
6815
* New "rename" command to rename one file to a different name
6816
and/or directory.
6817
6818
* New "move" command to move one or more files into a different
6819
directory.
6820
6821
* New "renames" command lists files renamed since base revision.
6822
6823
* New cat command contributed by janmar.
6824
6825
CHANGES:
6826
6827
* .bzr.log is placed in $HOME (not pwd) and is always written in
6828
UTF-8. (Probably not a completely good long-term solution, but
6829
will do for now.)
6830
6831
PORTABILITY:
6832
6833
* Workaround for difflib bug in Python 2.3 that causes an
6834
exception when comparing empty files. Reported by Erik Toubro
6835
Nielsen.
6836
6837
INTERNAL:
6838
6839
* Refactored inventory storage to insert a root entry at the top.
6840
6841
TESTING:
6842

6855
-----------------------------------
6856
6857
ENHANCEMENTS:
6858
6859
* Default ignore list extended (see bzrlib/__init__.py).
6860
6861
* Patterns in .bzrignore are now added to the default ignore list,
6862
rather than replacing it.
6863
6864
* Ignore list isn't reread for every file.
6865
6866
* More help topics.
6867
6868
* Reinstate the 'bzr check' command to check invariants of the
6869
branch.
6870
6871
* New 'ignored' command lists which files are ignored and why;
6872
'deleted' lists files deleted in the current working tree.
6873
6874
* Performance improvements.
6875
6876
* New global --profile option.
6877
6878
* Ignore patterns like './config.h' now correctly match files in
6879
the root directory only.
6880
6881
6882
bzr-0.0.1 2005-03-26
6883

6885
ENHANCEMENTS:
6886
6887
* More information from info command.
6888
6889
* Can now say "bzr help COMMAND" for more detailed help.
6890
6891
* Less file flushing and faster performance when writing logs and
6892
committing to stores.
6893
6894
* More useful verbose output from some commands.
6895
6896
BUG FIXES:
6897

6899
6900
PORTABILITY:
6901
6902
* Include a subset of ElementTree-1.2.20040618 to make
6903
installation easier.
6904
6905
* Fix time.localtime call to work with Python 2.3 (the minimum
6906
supported).

6909
bzr-0.0.0.69 2005-03-22
6910
------------------------
6911

ENHANCEMENTS:
6913
6914
* First public release.
