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

10
CHANGES:
11
12
FEATURES
13
14
IMPROVEMENTS:
15
16
* ``bzr annotate`` will now include uncommitted changes from the local
17
working tree by default. Such uncommitted changes are given the
18
revision number they would get if a commit was done, followed with a
19
? to indicate that its not actually known. (Robert Collins, #3439)
20
21
* ``bzr branch`` now accepts a ``--standalone`` option, which creates a
22
standalone branch regardless of the presence of shared repositories.
23
(Daniel Watkins)
24
25
* ``bzr push`` is faster in the case there are no new revisions to
26
push. It is also faster if there are no tags in the local branch.
27
(Andrew Bennetts)
28
29
* Location aliases can now accept a trailing path. (Micheal Hudson)
30
31
* New hooks ``Lock.hooks`` when LockDirs are acquired and released.
32
(Robert Collins, MartinPool)
33
34
* Switching in heavyweight checkouts uses the master branch's context, not
35
the checkout's context. (Adrian Wilkins)
36
37
* ``status`` on large trees is now faster, due to optimisations in the
38
walkdirs code. Of particular note, the walkdirs code now performs
39
a temporary ``chdir()`` while reading a single directory; if your
40
platform has non thread-local current working directories (and is
41
not windows which has its own implementation), this may introduce a
42
race condition during concurrent uses of bzrlib. The bzrlib CLI
43
will not encounter this as it is single threaded for working tree
44
operations. (Robert Collins)
45
46
BUG FIXES:
47
48
* Branching from a shared repository on a smart server into a new
49
repository now preserves the repository format.
50
(Andrew Bennetts, #269214)
51
52
* ``bzr missing`` now accepts an ``--include-merges`` option.
53
(Vincent Ladeuil, #233817)
54
55
* Don't try to filter (internally) '.bzr' from the files to be deleted if
56
it's not there.
57
(Vincent Ladeuil, #272648)
58
59
* Fix '_in_buffer' AttributeError when using the -Dhpss debug flag.
60
(Andrew Bennetts)
61
62
* Fix TooManyConcurrentRequests errors caused by a connection failure
63
when doing ``bzr pull`` or ``bzr merge`` from a ``bzr+ssh`` URL.
64
(Andrew Bennetts, #246233)
65
66
* Make the first line of the manpage preamble a comment again.
67
(David Futcher, #242106)
68
69
DOCUMENTATION:
70
71
* Explain revision/range identifiers. (Daniel Clemente)
72
73
API CHANGES:
74
75
TESTING:
76
77
* ``bzrlib.tests.repository_implementations`` has been renamed to
78
``bzrlib.tests.per_repository`` so that we have a common structure
79
(and it is shorter). (John Arbash Meinel, #239343)
80
81
* ``LocalTransport.abspath()`` now returns a drive letter if the
82
transport has one, fixing numerous tests on Windows.
83
(Mark Hammond)
84
85
* The full test suite is passing again on OSX.
86
(Guillermo Gonzalez, Vincent Ladeuil)
87
88
* PreviewTree is now tested via intertree_implementations.
89
(Aaron Bentley)
90
91
INTERNALS:
92
93
* A new hook, ``Branch.open``, has been added, which is called when
94
branch objects are opened. (Robert Collins)
95
96
* ``bzrlib.osutils._walkdirs_utf8`` has been refactored into common
97
tree walking, and modular directory listing code to aid future
98
performance optimisations and refactoring. (Robert Collins)
99
100
* New win32utils.get_local_appdata_location() provides access to a local
101
directory for storing data. (Mark Hammond)
102
103
104
bzr 1.7 2008-09-23
105
------------------
106
107
This release includes many bug fixes and a few performance and feature
108
improvements. ``bzr rm`` will now scan for missing files and remove them,
109
like how ``bzr add`` scans for unknown files and adds them. A bit more
110
polish has been applied to the stacking code. The b-tree indexing code has
111
been brought in, with an eye on using it in a future repository format.
112
There are only minor installer changes since bzr-1.7rc2.
113
114
FEATURES
115
116
* Some small updates to the win32 installer. Include localization
117
files found in plugins, and include the builtin distutils as part of
118
packaging qbzr. (Mark Hammond)
119
120
121
bzr 1.7rc2 2008-09-17
122
---------------------
123
124
A few bug fixes from 1.7rc1. The biggest change is a new
125
``RemoteBranch.get_stacked_on_url`` rpc. This allows clients that are
126
trying to access a Stacked branch over the smart protocol, to properly
127
connect to the stacked-on location.
128
129
BUG FIXES:
130
131
* Branching from a shared repository on a smart server into a new
132
repository now preserves the repository format.
133
(Andrew Bennetts, #269214)
134
135
* Branching from a stacked branch via ``bzr+ssh`` can properly connect
136
to the stacked-on branch. (Martin Pool, #261315)
137
138
* ``bzr init`` no longer re-opens the BzrDir multiple times.
139
(Vincent Ladeuil)
140
141
* Fix '_in_buffer' AttributeError when using the -Dhpss debug flag.
142
(Andrew Bennetts)
143
144
145
bzr 1.7rc1 2008-09-09
146
---------------------
147
148
This release candidate for bzr 1.7 has several bug fixes and a few
149
performance and feature improvements. ``bzr rm`` will now scan for
150
missing files and remove them, like how ``bzr add`` scans for unknown
151
files and adds them. A bit more polish has been applied to the stacking
152
code. The b-tree indexing code has been brought in, with an eye on using
153
it in a future repository format.
154
155
156
CHANGES:
157
158
* ``bzr export`` can now export a subdirectory of a project.
159
(Robert Collins)
160
161
* ``bzr remove-tree`` will now refuse to remove a tree with uncommitted
162
changes, unless the ``--force`` option is specified.
163
(Lukáš Lalinský, #74101)
164
165
* ``bzr rm`` will now scan for files that are missing and remove just
166
them automatically, much as ``bzr add`` scans for new files that
167
are not ignored and adds them automatically. (Robert Collins)
168
169
FEATURES
170
171
* Support for GSSAPI authentication when using FTP as documented in
172
RFC2228. (Jelmer Vernooij, #49623)
173
174
* Add support for IPv6 in the smart server. (Jelmer Vernooij, #165014)
175
176
IMPROVEMENTS:
177
178
* A url like ``log+file:///tmp`` will log all access to that Transport
179
to ``.bzr.log``, which may help in debugging or profiling.
180
(Martin Pool)
181
182
* ``bzr branch`` and ``bzr push`` use the default stacking policy if the
183
branch format supports it. (Aaron Bentley)
184
185
* ``bzr init`` and ``bzr init-repo`` will now print out the same as
186
``bzr info`` if it completed successfully.
187
(Marius Kruger)
188
189
* ``bzr uncommit`` logs the old tip revision id, and displays how to
190
restore the branch to that tip using ``bzr pull``. This allows you
191
to recover if you realize you uncommitted the wrong thing.
192
(John Arbash Meinel)
193
194
* Fix problems in accessing stacked repositories over ``bzr://``.
195
(Martin Pool, #261315)
196
197
* ``SFTPTransport.readv()`` was accidentally using ``list += string``,
198
which 'works', but adds each character separately to the list,
199
rather than using ``list.append(string)``. Fixing this makes the
200
SFTP transport a little bit faster (~20%) and use a bit less memory.
201
(John Arbash Meinel)
202
203
* When reading index files, if we happen to read the whole file in a
204
single request treat it as a ``_buffer_all`` request. This happens
205
most often on small indexes over remote transports, where we default
206
to reading 64kB. It saves a round trip for each small index during
207
fetch operations. Also, if we have read more than 50% of an index
208
file, trigger a ``_buffer_all`` on the next request. This works
209
around some inefficiencies because reads don't fall neatly on page
210
boundaries, so we would ignore those bytes, but request them again
211
later. This could trigger a total read size of more than the whole
212
file. (John Arbash Meinel)
213
214
BUG FIXES:
215
216
* ``bzr rm`` is now aliased to ``bzr del`` for the convenience of svn
217
users. (Robert Collins, #205416)
218
219
* Catch the infamous "select/poll returned error" which occurs when
220
pycurl try to send a body request to an HTTP/1.0 server which has
221
already refused to handle the request. (Vincent Ladeuil, #225020)
222
223
* Fix ``ObjectNotLocked`` errors when using various commands
224
(including ``bzr cat`` and ``bzr annotate``) in combination with a
225
smart server URL. (Andrew Bennetts, #237067)
226
227
* ``FTPTransport.stat()`` would return ``0000`` as the permission bits
228
for the containing ``.bzr/`` directory (it does not implement
229
permissions). This would cause us to set all subdirectories to
230
``0700`` and files to ``0600`` rather than leaving them unmodified.
231
Now we ignore ``0000`` as the permissions and assume they are
232
invalid. (John Arbash Meinel, #259855)
233
234
* Merging from a previously joined branch will no longer cause
235
a traceback. (Jelmer Vernooij, #203376)
236
237
* Pack operations on windows network shares will work even with large
238
files. (Robert Collins, #255656)
239
240
* Running ``bzr st PATH_TO_TREE`` will no longer suppress merge
241
status. Status is also about 7% faster on mozilla sized trees
242
when the path to the root of the tree has been given. Users of
243
the internal ``show_tree_status`` function should be aware that
244
the show_pending flag is now authoritative for showing pending
245
merges, as it was originally. (Robert Collins, #225204)
246
247
* Set valid default _param_name for Option so that ListOption can embed
248
'-' in names. (Vincent Ladeuil, #263249)
249
250
* Show proper error rather than traceback when an unknown revision
251
id is specified to ``bzr cat-revision``. (Jelmer Vernooij, #175569)
252
253
* Trailing text in the dirstate file could cause the C dirstate parser
254
to try to allocate an invalid amount of memory. We now properly
255
check and test for parsing a dirstate with invalid trailing data.
256
(John Arbash Meinel, #186014)
257
258
* Unexpected error responses from a smart server no longer cause the
259
client to traceback. (Andrew Bennetts, #263527)
260
261
* Use a Windows api function to get a Unicode host name, rather than
262
assuming the host name is ascii.
263
(Mark Hammond, John Arbash Meinel, #256550)
264
265
* ``WorkingTree4`` trees will now correctly report missing-and-new
266
paths in the output of ``iter_changes``. (Robert Collins)
267
268
DOCUMENTATION:
269
270
* Updated developer documentation. (Martin Pool)
271
272
API CHANGES:
273
274
* Exporters now take 4 parameters. (Robert Collins)
275
276
* ``Tree.iter_changes`` will now return False for the content change
277
field when a file is missing in the basis tree and not present in
278
the target tree. Previously it returned True unconditionally.
279
(Robert Collins)
280
281
* The deprecated ``Branch.abspath`` and unimplemented
282
``Branch.rename_one`` and ``Branch.move`` were removed. (Jelmer Vernooij)
283
284
* BzrDir.clone_on_transport implementations must now accept a stacked_on
285
parameter. (Aaron Bentley)
286
287
* BzrDir.cloning_metadir implementations must now take a require_stacking
288
parameter. (Aaron Bentley)
289
290
TESTING:
291
292
* ``addCleanup`` now takes ``*arguments`` and ``**keyword_arguments``
293
which are then passed to the cleanup callable as it is run. In
294
addition, addCleanup no longer requires that the callables passed to
295
it be unique. (Jonathan Lange)
296
297
* Fix some tests that fail on Windows because files are deleted while
298
still in use.
299
(Mark Hammond)
300
301
* ``selftest``'s ``--starting-with`` option can now use predefined
302
prefixes so that one can say ``bzr selftest -s bp.loom`` instead of
303
``bzr selftest -s bzrlib.plugins.loom``. (Vincent Ladeuil)
304
305
* ``selftest``'s ``--starting-with`` option now accepts multiple values.
306
(Vincent Ladeuil)
307
308
INTERNALS:
309
310
* A new plugin interface, ``bzrlib.log.log_adapters``, has been added.
311
This allows dynamic log output filtering by plugins.
312
(Robert Collins)
313
314
* ``bzrlib.btree_index`` is now available, providing a b-tree index
315
layer. The design is memory conservative (limited memory cache),
316
faster to seek (approx 100 nodes per page, gives 100-way fan out),
317
and stores compressed pages allowing more keys per page.
318
(Robert Collins, John Arbash Meinel)
319
320
* ``bzrlib.diff.DiffTree.show_diff`` now skips changes where the kind
321
is unknown in both source and target.
322
(Robert Collins, Aaron Bentley)
323
324
* ``GraphIndexBuilder.add_node`` and ``BTreeBuilder`` have been
325
streamlined a bit. This should make creating large indexes faster.
326
(In benchmarking, it now takes less time to create a BTree index than
327
it takes to read the GraphIndex one.) (John Arbash Meinel)
328
329
* Mail clients for `bzr send` are now listed in a registry. This
330
allows plugins to add new clients by registering them with
331
``bzrlib.mail_client.mail_client_registry``. All of the built-in
332
clients now use this mechanism. (Neil Martinsen-Burrell)
333
334
335
bzr 1.6.1 2008-09-05
336
--------------------
337
338
A couple regressions were found in the 1.6 release. There was a
339
performance issue when using ``bzr+ssh`` to branch large repositories,
340
and some problems with stacking and ``rich-root`` capable repositories.
341
342
343
bzr 1.6.1rc2 2008-09-03
344
-----------------------
345
346
BUG FIXES:
347
348
* Copying between ``rich-root`` and ``rich-root-pack`` (and vice
349
versa) was accidentally using the inter-model fetcher, instead of
350
recognizing that both were 'rich root' formats.
351
(John Arbash Meinel, #264321)
352
353
354
bzr 1.6.1rc1 2008-08-29
355
-----------------------
356
357
This release fixes a few regressions found in the 1.6 client. Fetching
358
changes was using an O(N^2) buffering algorithm, so for large projects it
359
would cause memory thrashing. There is also a specific problem with the
360
``--1.6-rich-root`` format, which prevented stacking on top of
361
``--rich-root-pack`` repositories, and could allow users to accidentally
362
fetch experimental data (``-subtree``) without representing it properly.
363
The ``--1.6-rich-root`` format has been deprecated and users are
364
recommended to upgrade to ``--1.6.1-rich-root`` immediately. Also we
365
re-introduced a workaround for users who have repositories with incorrect
366
nodes (not possible if you only used official releases).
367
I should also clarify that none of this is data loss level issues, but
368
still sufficient enough to warrant an updated release.
369
370
BUG FIXES:
371
372
* ``RemoteTransport.readv()`` was being inefficient about how it
373
buffered the readv data and processed it. It would keep appending to
374
the same string (causing many copies) and then pop bytes out of the
375
start of the string (causing more copies).
376
With this patch "bzr+ssh://local" can improve dramatically,
377
especially for projects with large files.
378
(John Arbash Meinel)
379
380
* Revision texts were always meant to be stored as fulltexts. There
381
was a bug in a bzr.dev version that would accidentally create deltas
382
when copying from a Pack repo to a Knit repo. This has been fixed,
383
but to support those repositories, we know always request full texts
384
for Revision texts. (John Arbash Meinel, #261339)
385
386
* The previous ``--1.6-rich-root`` format used an incorrect xml
387
serializer, which would accidentally support fetching from a
388
repository that supported subtrees, even though the local one would
389
not. We deprecated that format, and introduced a new one that uses
390
the correct serializer ``--1.6.1-rich-root``.
391
(John Arbash Meinel, #262333)
392
393
394
bzr 1.6 2008-08-25
395
------------------
396
397
Finally, the long awaited bzr 1.6 has been released. This release includes
398
new features like Stacked Branches, improved weave merge, and an updated
399
server protocol (now on v3) which will allow for better cross version
400
compatibility. With this release we have deprecated Knit format
401
repositories, and recommend that users upgrade them, we will continue to
402
support reading and writing them for the forseeable future, but we will
403
not be tuning them for performance as pack repositories have proven to be
404
better at scaling. This will also be the first release to bundle
405
TortoiseBzr in the standalone Windows installer.
406
407
408
bzr 1.6rc5 2008-08-19
409
---------------------
410
411
BUG FIXES:
412
413
* Disable automatic detection of stacking based on a containing
414
directory of the target. It interacted badly with push, and needs a
415
bit more work to get the edges polished before it should happen
416
automatically. (John Arbash Meinel, #259275)
417
(This change was reverted when merged to bzr.dev)
418
419
420
bzr 1.6rc4 2008-08-18
421
---------------------
422
423
BUG FIXES:
424
425
* Fix a regression in knit => pack fetching. We had a logic
426
inversion, causing the fetch to insert fulltexts in random order,
427
rather than preserving deltas. (John Arbash Meinel, #256757)
428
429
430
bzr 1.6rc3 2008-08-14
431
---------------------
432
433
CHANGES:
434
435
* Disable reading ``.bzrrules`` as a per-branch rule preferences
436
file. The feature was not quite ready for a full release.
437
(Robert Collins)
438
439
IMPROVEMENTS:
440
441
* Update the windows installer to bundle TortoiseBzr and ``qbzr``
442
into the standalone installer. This will be the first official
443
windows release that installs Tortoise by default.
444
(Mark Hammond)
445
446
BUG FIXES:
447
448
* Fix a regression in ``bzr+http`` support. There was a missing
449
function (``_read_line``) that needed to be carried over from
450
``bzr+ssh`` support. (Andrew Bennetts)
451
452
* ``GraphIndex`` objects will internally read an entire index if more
453
than 1/20th of their keyspace is requested in a single operation.
454
This largely mitigates a performance regression in ``bzr log FILE``
455
and completely corrects the performance regression in ``bzr log``.
456
The regression was caused by removing an accomodation which had been
457
supporting the index format in use. A newer index format is in
458
development which is substantially faster. (Robert Collins)

bzr 1.6rc2 2008-08-13
462
---------------------
463
464
This release candidate has a few minor bug fixes, and some regression
465
fixes for Windows.
466
467
BUG FIXES:
468
469
* ``bzr upgrade`` on remote branches accessed via bzr:// and
470
bzr+ssh:// now works. (Andrew Bennetts)
471
472
* Change the ``get_format_description()`` strings for
473
``RepositoryFormatKnitPack5`` et al to be single line messages.
474
(Aaron Bentley)
475
476
* Fix for a regression on Win32 where we would try to call
477
``os.listdir()`` on a file and not catch the exception properly.
478
(Windows raises a different exception.) This would manifest in
479
places like ``bzr rm file`` or ``bzr switch``.
480
(Mark Hammond, John Arbash Meinel)
481
482
* ``Inventory.copy()`` was failing to set the revision property for
483
the root entry. (Jelmer Vernooij)
484
485
* sftp transport: added missing ``FileExists`` case to
486
``_translate_io_exception`` (Christophe Troestler, #123475)
487
488
* The help for ``bzr ignored`` now suggests ``bzr ls --ignored`` for
489
scripting use. (Robert Collins, #3834)
490
491
* The default ``annotate`` logic will now always assign the
492
last-modified value of a line to one of the revisions that modified
493
it, rather than a merge revision. This would happen when both sides
494
claimed to have modified the line resulting in the same text. The
495
choice is arbitrary but stable, so merges in different directions
496
will get the same results. (John Arbash Meinel, #232188)
497
498
499
bzr 1.6rc1 2008-08-06
500
---------------------
501
502
This release candidate for bzr 1.6 solidifies the new branch stacking
503
feature. Bazaar now recommends that users upgrade all knit repositories,
504
because later formats are much faster. However, we plan to continue read/write and
505
upgrade support for knit repostories for the forseeable future. Several
506
other bugs and performance issues were fixed.
507
508
CHANGES:
509
510
* Knit format repositories are deprecated and bzr will now emit
511
warnings whenever it encounters one. Use ``bzr upgrade`` to upgrade
512
knit repositories to pack format. (Andrew Bennetts)
513
514
IMPROVEMENTS:
515
516
* ``bzr check`` can now be told which elements at a location it should
517
check. (Daniel Watkins)
518
519
* Commit now supports ``--exclude`` (or ``-x``) to exclude some files
520
from the commit. (Robert Collins, #3117)
521
522
* Fetching data between repositories that have the same model but no
523
optimised fetcher will not reserialise all the revisions, increasing
524
performance. (Robert Collins, John Arbash Meinel)
525
526
* Give a more specific error when target branch is not reachable.
527
(James Westby)
528
529
* Implemented a custom ``walkdirs_utf8`` implementation for win32.
530
This uses a pyrex extension to get direct access to the
531
``FindFirstFileW`` style apis, rather than using ``listdir`` +
532
``lstat``. Shows a very strong improvement in commands like
533
``status`` and ``diff`` which have to iterate the working tree.
534
Anywhere from 2x-6x faster depending on the size of the tree (bigger
535
trees, bigger benefit.) (John Arbash Meinel)
536
537
* New registry for log properties handles and the method in
538
LongLogFormatter to display the custom properties returned by the
539
registered handlers. (Guillermo Gonzalez, #162469)
540
541
BUG FIXES:
542
543
* Add more tests that stacking does not create deltas spanning
544
physical repository boundaries.
545
(Martin Pool, #252428)
546
547
* Better message about incompatible repositories.
548
(Martin Pool, #206258)
549
550
* ``bzr branch --stacked`` ensures the destination branch format can
551
support stacking, even if the origin does not.
552
(Martin Pool)
553
554
* ``bzr export`` no longer exports ``.bzrrules``.
555
(Ian Clatworthy)
556
557
* ``bzr serve --directory=/`` now correctly allows the whole
558
filesystem to be accessed on Windows, not just the root of the drive
559
that Python is running from.
560
(Adrian Wilkins, #240910)
561
562
* Deleting directories by hand before running ``bzr rm`` will not
563
cause subsequent errors in ``bzr st`` and ``bzr commit``.
564
(Robert Collins, #150438)
565
566
* Fix a test case that was failing if encoding wasn't UTF-8.
567
(John Arbash Meinel, #247585)
568
569
* Fix "no buffer space available" error when branching with the new
570
smart server protocol to or from Windows.
571
(Andrew Bennetts, #246180)
572
573
* Fixed problem in branching from smart server.
574
(#249256, Michael Hudson, Martin Pool)
575
576
* Handle a file turning in to a directory in TreeTransform.
577
(James Westby, #248448)
578
579
API CHANGES:
580
581
* ``MutableTree.commit`` has an extra optional keywork parameter
582
``exclude`` that will be unconditionally supplied by the command
583
line UI - plugins that add tree formats may need an update.
584
(Robert Collins)
585
586
* The API minimum version for plugin compatibility has been raised to
587
1.6 - there are significant changes throughout the code base.
588
(Robert Collins)
589
590
* The generic fetch code now uses three attributes on Repository objects
591
to control fetch. The streams requested are controlled via :
592
``_fetch_order`` and ``_fetch_uses_deltas``. Setting these
593
appropriately allows different repository implementations to recieve
594
data in their optimial form. If the ``_fetch_reconcile`` is set then
595
a reconcile operation is triggered at the end of the fetch.
596
(Robert Collins)
597
598
* The ``put_on_disk`` and ``get_tar_item`` methods in
599
``InventoryEntry`` were deprecated. (Ian Clatworthy)
600
601
* ``Repository.is_shared`` doesn't take a read lock. It didn't
602
need one in the first place (nobody cached the value, and
603
``RemoteRepository`` wasn't taking one either). This saves a round
604
trip when probing Pack repositories, as they read the ``pack-names``
605
file when locked. And during probe, locking the repo isn't very
606
useful. (John Arbash Meinel)
607
608
INTERNALS:
609
610
* ``bzrlib.branchbuilder.BranchBuilder`` is now much more capable of
611
putting together a real history without having to create a full
612
WorkingTree. It is recommended that tests that are not directly
613
testing the WorkingTree use BranchBuilder instead. See
614
``BranchBuilder.build_snapshot`` or
615
``TestCaseWithMemoryTree.make_branch_builder``. (John Arbash Meinel)
616
617
* ``bzrlib.builtins.internal_tree_files`` broken into two giving a new
618
helper ``safe_relpath_files`` - used by the new ``exclude``
619
parameter to commit. (Robert Collins)
620
621
* Make it easier to introduce new WorkingTree formats.
622
(Ian Clatworthy)
623
624
* The code for exporting trees was refactored not to use the
625
deprecated ``InventoryEntry`` methods. (Ian Clatworthy)
626
627
* RuleSearchers return () instead of [] now when there are no matches.
628
(Ian Clatworthy)
629
630
631
bzr 1.6beta3 2008-07-17
632
-----------------------
633
634
This release adds a new 'stacked branches' feature allowing branches to
635
share storage without being in the same repository or on the same machine.
636
(See the user guide for more details.) It also adds a new hook, improved
637
weaves, aliases for related locations, faster bzr+ssh push, and several
638
bug fixes.
639
640
FEATURES:
641
642
* New ``pre_change_branch_tip`` hook that is called before the
643
branch tip is moved, while the branch is write-locked. See the User
644
Reference for signature details. (Andrew Bennetts)
645
646
* Rule-based preferences can now be defined for selected files in
647
selected branches, allowing commands and plugins to provide
648
custom behaviour for files matching defined patterns.
649
See ``Rule-based preferences`` (part of ``Configuring Bazaar``)
650
in the User Guide and ``bzr help rules`` for more information.
651
(Ian Clatworthy)
652
653
* Sites may suggest a branch to stack new branches on. (Aaron Bentley)
654
655
* Stacked branches are now supported. See ``bzr help branch`` and
656
``bzr help push``. Branches must be in the ``development1`` format
657
to stack, though the stacked-on branch can be of any format.
658
(Robert Collins)
659
660
IMPROVEMENTS:
661
662
* ``bzr export --format=tgz --root=NAME -`` to export a gzipped tarball
663
to stdout; also ``tar`` and ``tbz2``.
664
(Martin Pool)
665
666
* ``bzr (re)merge --weave`` will now use a standard Weave algorithm,
667
rather than the annotation-based merge it was using. It does so by
668
building up a Weave of the important texts, without needing to build
669
the full ancestry. (John Arbash Meinel, #238895)
670
671
* ``bzr send`` documents and better supports ``emacsclient`` (proper
672
escaping of mail headers and handling of the MUA Mew).
673
(Christophe Troestler)
674
675
* Remembered locations can be specified by aliases, e.g. :parent, :public,
676
:submit. (Aaron Bentley)
677
678
* The smart protocol now has improved support for setting branches'
679
revision info directly. This makes operations like push
680
faster. The new request method name is
681
``Branch.set_last_revision_ex``. (Andrew Bennetts)
682
683
BUG FIXES:
684
685
* Bazaar is now able to be a client to the web server of IIS 6 and 7.
686
The broken implementations of RFC822 in Python and RFC2046 in IIS
687
combined with boundary-line checking in Bazaar previously made this
688
impossible. (NB, IIS 5 does not suffer from this problem).
689
(Adrian Wilkins, #247585)
690
691
* ``bzr log --long`` with a ghost in your mainline now handles that
692
ghost properly. (John Arbash Meinel, #243536)
693
694
* ``check`` handles the split-up .bzr layout correctly, so no longer
695
requires a branch to be present.
696
(Daniel Watkins, #64783)
697
698
* Clearer message about how to set the PYTHONPATH if bzrlib can't be
699
loaded.
700
(Martin Pool, #205230)
701
702
* Errors about missing libraries are now shown without a traceback,
703
and with a suggestion to install the library. The full traceback is
704
still in ``.bzr.log`` and can be shown with ``-Derror``.
705
(Martin Pool, #240161)
706
707
* Fetch from a stacked branch copies all required data.
708
(Aaron Bentley, #248506)
709
710
* Handle urls such as ftp://user@host.com@www.host.com where the user
711
name contains an @.
712
(Neil Martinsen-Burrell, #228058)
713
714
* ``needs_read_lock`` and ``needs_write_lock`` now suppress an error during
715
``unlock`` if there was an error in the original function. This helps
716
most when there is a failure with a smart server action, since often the
717
connection closes and we cannot unlock.
718
(Andrew Bennetts, John Arbash Meinel, #125784)
719
720
* Obsolete hidden command ``bzr fetch`` removed.
721
(Martin Pool, #172870)
722
723
* Raise the correct exception when doing ``-rbefore:0`` or ``-c0``.
724
(John Arbash Meinel, #239933)
725
726
* You can now compare file revisions in Windows diff programs from
727
Cygwin Bazaar.
728
(Matt McClure, #209281)
729
730
* revision_history now tolerates mainline ghosts for Branch format 6.
731
(Aaron Bentley, #235055)
732
733
* Set locale from environment for third party libs.
734
(Martin von Gagern, #128496)
735
736
DOCUMENTATION:
737
738
* Added *Using stacked branches* to the User Guide.
739
(Ian Clatworthy)
740
741
* Updated developer documentation.
742
(Martin Pool)
743
744
TESTING:
745
746
* ``-Dmemory`` will cause /proc/PID/status to be catted before bzr
747
exits, allowing low-key analysis of peak memory use. (Robert Collins)
748
749
* ``TestCaseWithTransport.make_branch_and_tree`` tries harder to return
750
a tree with a ``branch`` attribute of the right format. This was
751
preventing some ``RemoteBranch`` tests from actually running with
752
``RemoteBranch`` instances. (Andrew Bennetts)
753
754
API CHANGES:
755
756
* Removed ``Repository.text_store``, ``control_store``, etc. Instead,
757
there are new attributes ``texts, inventories, revisions,
758
signatures``, each of which is a ``VersionedFiles``. See the
759
Repository docstring for more details.
760
(Robert Collins)
761
762
* ``Branch.pull`` now accepts an ``_override_hook_target`` optional
763
parameter. If you have a subclass of ``Branch`` that overrides
764
``pull`` then you should add this parameter. (Andrew Bennetts)
765
766
* ``bzrlib.check.check()`` has been deprecated in favour of the more
767
aptly-named ``bzrlib.check.check_branch()``.
768
(Daniel Watkins)
769
770
* ``Tree.print_file`` and ``Repository.print_file`` are deprecated.
771
These methods are bad APIs because they write directly to sys.stdout.
772
bzrlib does not use them internally, and there are no direct tests
773
for them. (Alexander Belchenko)
774
775
INTERNALS:
776
777
* ``cat`` command no longer uses ``Tree.print_file()`` internally.
778
(Alexander Belchenko)
779
780
* New class method ``BzrDir.open_containing_tree_branch_or_repository``
781
which eases the discovery of the tree, the branch and the repository
782
containing a given location.
783
(Daniel Watkins)
784
785
* New ``versionedfile.KeyMapper`` interface to abstract out the access to
786
underlying .knit/.kndx etc files in repositories with partitioned
787
storage. (Robert Collins)
788
789
* Obsolete developer-use command ``weave-join`` has been removed.
790
(Robert Collins)
791
792
* ``RemoteToOtherFetcher`` and ``get_data_stream_for_search`` removed,
793
to support new ``VersionedFiles`` layering.
794
(Robert Collins)
795
796
797
bzr 1.6beta2 2008-06-10
798
-----------------------
799
800
This release contains further progress towards our 1.6 goals of shallow
801
repositories, and contains a fix for some user-affecting bugs in the
802
repository layer. Building working trees during checkout and branch is
803
now faster.
804
805
BUG FIXES:
806
807
* Avoid KnitCorrupt error extracting inventories from some repositories.
808
(The data is not corrupt; an internal check is detecting a problem
809
reading from the repository.)
810
(Martin Pool, Andrew Bennetts, Robert Collins, #234748)
811
812
* ``bzr status`` was breaking if you merged the same revision twice.
813
(John Arbash Meinel, #235407)
814
815
* Fix infinite loop consuming 100% CPU when a connection is lost while
816
reading a response body via the smart protocol v1 or v2.
817
(Andrew Bennetts)
818
819
* Inserting a bundle which changes the contents of a file with no trailing
820
end of line, causing a knit snapshot in a 'knits' repository will no longer
821
cause KnitCorrupt. (Robert Collins)
822
823
* ``RemoteBranch.pull`` needs to return the ``self._real_branch``'s
824
pull result. It was instead just returning None, which breaks ``bzr
825
pull``. (John Arbash Meinel, #238149)
826
827
* Sanitize branch nick before using it as an attachment filename in
828
``bzr send``. (Lukáš Lalinský, #210218)
829
830
* Squash ``inv_entry.symlink_target`` to a plain string when
831
generating DirState details. This prevents from getting a
832
``UnicodeError`` when you have symlinks and non-ascii filenames.
833
(John Arbash Meinel, #135320)
834
835
IMPROVEMENTS:
836
837
* Added the 'alias' command to set/unset and display aliases. (Tim Penhey)
838
839
* ``added``, ``modified``, and ``unknowns`` behaviour made consistent (all three
840
now quote paths where required). Added ``--null`` option to ``added`` and
841
``modified`` (for null-separated unknowns, use ``ls --unknown --null``)
842
(Adrian Wilkins)
843
844
* Faster branching (1.09x) and lightweight checkouts (1.06x) on large trees.
845
(Ian Clatworthy, Aaron Bentley)
846
847
DOCUMENTATION:
848
849
* Added *Bazaar Zen* section to the User Guide. (Ian Clatworthy)
850
851
TESTING:
852
853
* Fix the test HTTPServer to be isolated from chdir calls made while it is
854
running, allowing it to be used in blackbox tests. (Robert Collins)
855
856
API CHANGES:
857
858
* ``WorkingTree.set_parent_(ids/trees)`` will now filter out revisions
859
which are in the ancestry of other revisions. So if you merge the same
860
tree twice, or merge an ancestor of an existing merge, it will only
861
record the newest. (If you merge a descendent, it will replace its
862
ancestor). (John Arbash Meinel, #235407)
863
864
* ``RepositoryPolicy.__init__`` now requires stack_on and stack_on_pwd,
865
through the derived classes do not. (Aaron Bentley)
866
867
INTERNALS:
868
869
* ``bzrlib.bzrdir.BzrDir.sprout`` now accepts ``stacked`` to control
870
creating stacked branches. (Robert Collins)
871
872
* Knit record serialisation is now stricter on what it will accept, to
873
guard against potential internal bugs, or broken input. (Robert Collins)
874
875
876
bzr 1.6beta1 2008-06-02
877
-----------------------
878
879
880
Commands that work on the revision history such as push, pull, missing,
881
uncommit and log are now substantially faster. This release adds a
882
translation of some of the user documentation into Spanish. (Contributions of
883
other translations would be very welcome.) Bazaar 1.6beta1 adds a new network
884
protocol which is used by default and which allows for more efficient transfers
885
and future extensions.
886
887
888
NOTES WHEN UPGRADING:
889
890
* There is a new version of the network protocol used for bzr://, bzr+ssh://
891
and bzr+http:// connections. This will allow more efficient requests and
892
responses, and more graceful fallback when a server is too old to
893
recognise a request from a more recent client. Bazaar 1.6 will
894
interoperate with 0.16 and later versions, but servers should be upgraded
895
when possible. Bazaar 1.6 no longer interoperates with 0.15 and earlier via
896
these protocols. Use alternatives like SFTP or upgrade those servers.
897
(Andrew Bennetts, #83935)
898
899
CHANGES:
900
901
* Deprecation warnings will not be suppressed when running ``bzr selftest``
902
so that developers can see if their code is using deprecated functions.
903
(John Arbash Meinel)
904
905
FEATURES:
906
907
* Adding ``-Derror`` will now display a traceback when a plugin fails to
908
load. (James Westby)
909
910
IMPROVEMENTS:
911
912
* ``bzr branch/push/pull -r XXX`` now have a helper function for finding
913
the revno of the new revision (``Graph.find_distance_to_null``). This
914
should make something like ``bzr branch -r -100`` in a shared, no-trees
915
repository much snappier. (John Arbash Meinel)
916
917
* ``bzr log --short -r X..Y`` no longer needs to access the full revision
918
history. This makes it noticeably faster when logging the last few
919
revisions. (John Arbash Meinel)
920
921
* ``bzr ls`` now accepts ``-V`` as an alias for ``--versioned``.
922
(Jerad Cramp, #165086)
923
924
* ``bzr missing`` uses the new ``Graph.find_unique_ancestors`` and
925
``Graph.find_differences`` to determine missing revisions without having
926
to search the whole ancestry. (John Arbash Meinel, #174625)
927
928
* ``bzr uncommit`` now uses partial history access, rather than always
929
extracting the full revision history for a branch. This makes it
930
resolve the appropriate revisions much faster (in testing it drops
931
uncommit from 1.5s => 0.4s). It also means ``bzr log --short`` is one
932
step closer to not using full revision history.
933
(John Arbash Meinel, #172649)
934
935
BUGFIXES:
936
937
* ``bzr merge --lca`` should handle when two revisions have no common
938
ancestor other than NULL_REVISION. (John Arbash Meinel, #235715)
939
940
* ``bzr status`` was breaking if you merged the same revision twice.
941
(John Arbash Meinel, #235407)
942
943
* ``bzr push`` with both ``--overwrite`` and ``-r NNN`` options no longer
944
fails. (Andrew Bennetts, #234229)
945
946
* Correctly track the base URL of a smart medium when using bzr+http://
947
URLs, which was causing spurious "No repository present" errors with
948
branches in shared repositories accessed over bzr+http.
949
(Andrew Bennetts, #230550)
950
951
* Define ``_remote_is_at_least_1_2`` on ``SmartClientMedium`` so that all
952
implementations have the attribute. Fixes 'PyCurlTransport' object has no
953
attribute '_remote_is_at_least_1_2' attribute errors.
954
(Andrew Bennetts, #220806)
955
956
* Failure to delete an obsolete pack file should just give a warning
957
message, not a fatal error. It may for example fail if the file is still
958
in use by another process.
959
(Martin Pool)
960
961
* Fix MemoryError during large fetches over HTTP by limiting the amount of
962
data we try to read per ``recv`` call. The problem was observed with
963
Windows and a proxy, but might affect other environments as well.
964
(Eric Holmberg, #215426)
965
966
* Handle old merge directives correctly in Merger.from_mergeable. Stricter
967
get_parent_map requirements exposed a latent bug here. (Aaron Bentley)
968
969
* Issue a warning and ignore passwords declared in authentication.conf when
970
used for an ssh scheme (sftp or bzr+ssh).
971
(Vincent Ladeuil, #203186)
972
973
* Make both http implementations raise appropriate exceptions on 403
974
Forbidden when POSTing smart requests.
975
(Vincent Ladeuil, #230223)
976
977
* Properly *title* header names in http requests instead of capitalizing
978
them.
979
(Vincent Ladeuil, #229076)
980
981
* The "Unable to obtain lock" error message now also suggests using
982
``bzr break-lock`` to fix it. (Martin Albisetti, #139202)
983
984
* Treat an encoding of '' as ascii; this can happen when bzr is run
985
under vim on Mac OS X.
986
(Neil Martinsen-Burrell)
987
988
* ``VersionedFile.make_mpdiffs()`` was raising an exception that wasn't in
989
scope. (Daniel Fischer #235687)
990
991
DOCUMENTATION:
992
993
* Added directory structure and started translation of docs in spanish.
994
(Martin Albisetti, Lucio Albenga)
995
996
* Incorporate feedback from Jelmer Vernooij and Neil Martinsen-Burrell
997
on the plugin and integration chapters of the User Guide.
998
(Ian Clatworthy)
999
1000
* More Bazaar developer documentation about packaging and release process,
1001
and about use of Python reprs.
1002
(Martin Pool, Martin Albisetti)
1003
1004
* Updated Tortise strategy document. (Mark Hammond)
1005
1006
TESTING:
1007
1008
* ``bzrlib.tests.adapt_tests`` was broken and unused - it has been fixed.
1009
(Robert Collins)
1010
1011
* Fix the test HTTPServer to be isolated from chdir calls made while it is
1012
running, allowing it to be used in blackbox tests. (Robert Collins)
1013
1014
* New helper function for splitting test suites
1015
``split_suite_by_condition``. (Robert Collins)
1016
1017
INTERNALS:
1018
1019
* ``Branch.missing_revisions`` has been deprecated. Similar functionality
1020
can be obtained using ``bzrlib.missing.find_unmerged``. The api was
1021
fairly broken, and the function was unused, so we are getting rid of it.
1022
(John Arbash Meinel)
1023
1024
API CHANGES:
1025
1026
* ``Branch.abspath`` is deprecated; use the Tree or Transport
1027
instead. (Martin Pool)
1028
1029
* ``Branch.update_revisions`` now takes an optional ``Graph``
1030
object. This can be used by ``update_revisions`` when it is
1031
checking ancestry, and allows callers to prefer request to go to a
1032
local branch. (John Arbash Meinel)
1033
1034
* Branch, Repository, Tree and BzrDir should expose a Transport as an
1035
attribute if they have one, rather than having it indirectly accessible
1036
as ``.control_files._transport``. This doesn't add a requirement
1037
to support a Transport in cases where it was not needed before;
1038
it just simplifies the way it is reached. (Martin Pool)
1039
1040
* ``bzr missing --mine-only`` will return status code 0 if you have no
1041
new revisions, but the remote does. Similarly for ``--theirs-only``.
1042
The new code only checks one side, so it doesn't know if the other
1043
side has changes. This seems more accurate with the request anyway.
1044
It also changes the output to print '[This|Other] branch is up to
1045
date.' rather than displaying nothing. (John Arbash Meinel)
1046
1047
* ``LockableFiles.put_utf8``, ``put_bytes`` and ``controlfilename``
1048
are now deprecated in favor of using Transport operations.
1049
(Martin Pool)
1050
1051
* Many methods on ``VersionedFile``, ``Repository`` and in
1052
``bzrlib.revision`` deprecated before bzrlib 1.5 have been removed.
1053
(Robert Collins)
1054
1055
* ``RevisionSpec.wants_revision_history`` can be set to False for a given
1056
``RevisionSpec``. This will disable the existing behavior of passing in
1057
the full revision history to ``self._match_on``. Useful for specs that
1058
don't actually need access to the full history. (John Arbash Meinel)
1059
1060
* The constructors of ``SmartClientMedium`` and its subclasses now require a
1061
``base`` parameter. ``SmartClientMedium`` implementations now also need
1062
to provide a ``remote_path_from_transport`` method. (Andrew Bennetts)
1063
1064
* The default permissions for creating new files and directories
1065
should now be obtained from ``BzrDir._get_file_mode()`` and
1066
``_get_dir_mode()``, rather than from LockableFiles. The ``_set_file_mode``
1067
and ``_set_dir_mode`` variables on LockableFiles which were advertised
1068
as a way for plugins to control this are no longer consulted.
1069
(Martin Pool)
1070
1071
* ``VersionedFile.join`` is deprecated. This method required local
1072
instances of both versioned file objects and was thus hostile to being
1073
used for streaming from a smart server. The new get_record_stream and
1074
insert_record_stream are meant to efficiently replace this method.
1075
(Robert Collins)
1076
1077
* ``WorkingTree.set_parent_(ids/trees)`` will now filter out revisions
1078
which are in the ancestry of other revisions. So if you merge the same
1079
tree twice, or merge an ancestor of an existing merge, it will only
1080
record the newest. (If you merge a descendent, it will replace its
1081
ancestor). (John Arbash Meinel, #235407)
1082
1083
* ``WorkingTreeFormat2.stub_initialize_remote`` is now private.

1088
------------------
1089
1090
This release of Bazaar includes several updates to the documentation, and fixes
1091
to prepare for making rich root support the default format. Many bugs have been
1092
squashed, including fixes to log, bzr+ssh inter-operation with older servers.
1093
1094
CHANGES:
1095
1096
* Suppress deprecation warnings when bzrlib is a 'final' release. This way
1097
users of packaged software won't be bothered with DeprecationWarnings,
1098
but developers and testers will still see them. (John Arbash Meinel)
1099
1100
DOCUMENTATION:
1101
1102
* Incorporate feedback from Jelmer Vernooij and Neil Martinsen-Burrell

1110
NOTES WHEN UPGRADING:
1111
1112
CHANGES:
1113
1114
* Broader support of GNU Emacs mail clients. Set
1115
``mail_client=emacsclient`` in your bazaar.conf and ``send`` will pop the
1116
bundle in a mail buffer according to the value of ``mail-user-agent``
1117
variable. (Xavier Maillard)
1118
1119
FEATURES:
1120
1121
IMPROVEMENTS:
1122
1123
* Diff now handles revision specs like "branch:" and "submit:" more
1124
efficiently. (Aaron Bentley, #202928)
1125
1126
* More friendly error given when attempt to start the smart server
1127
on an address already in use. (Andrea Corbellini, #200575)
1128
1129
* Pull completes much faster when there is nothing to pull.
1130
(Aaron Bentley)
1131
1132
BUGFIXES:
1133
1134
* Authentication.conf can define sections without password.
1135
(Vincent Ladeuil, #199440)
1136
1137
* Avoid muttering every time a child update does not cause a progress bar
1138
update. (John Arbash Meinel, #213771)
1139
1140
* ``Branch.reconcile()`` is now implemented. This allows ``bzr reconcile``
1141
to fix when a Branch has a non-canonical mainline history. ``bzr check``
1142
also detects this condition. (John Arbash Meinel, #177855)
1143
1144
* ``bzr log -r ..X bzr://`` was failing, because it was getting a request
1145
for ``revision_id=None`` which was not a string.
1146
(John Arbash Meinel, #211661)
1147
1148
* ``bzr commit`` now works with Microsoft's FTP service.
1149
(Andreas Deininger)
1150
1151
* Catch definitions outside sections in authentication.conf.
1152
(Vincent Ladeuil, #217650)
1153
1154
* Conversion from non-rich-root to rich-root(-pack) updates inventory
1155
sha1s, even when bundles are used. (Aaron Bentley, #181391)
1156
1157
* Conversion from non-rich-root to rich-root(-pack) works correctly even
1158
though search keys are not topologically sorted. (Aaron Bentley)
1159
1160
* Conversion from non-rich-root to rich-root(-pack) works even when a
1161
parent revision has a different root id. (Aaron Bentley, #177874)
1162
1163
* Disable strace testing until strace is fixed (see bug #103133) and emit a
1164
warning when selftest ends to remind us of leaking tests.
1165
(Vincent Ladeuil, #226769)
1166
1167
* Fetching all revisions from a repository does not cause pack collisions.
1168
(Robert Collins, Aaron Bentley, #212908)
1169
1170
* Fix error about "attempt to add line-delta in non-delta knit".
1171
(Andrew Bennetts, #217701)
1172
1173
* Pushing a branch in "dirstate" format (Branch5) over bzr+ssh would break
1174
if the remote server was < version 1.2. This was due to a bug in the
1175
RemoteRepository.get_parent_map() fallback code.
1176
(John Arbash Meinel, #214894)
1177
1178
* Remove leftover code in ``bzr_branch`` that inappropriately creates
1179
a ``branch-name`` file in the branch control directory.
1180
(Martin Pool)
1181
1182
* Set SO_REUSEADDR on server sockets of ``bzr serve`` to avoid problems
1183
rebinding the socket when starting the server a second time.
1184
(John Arbash Meinel, Martin Pool, #164288)
1185
1186
* Severe performance degradation in fetching from knit repositories to
1187
knits and packs due to parsing the entire revisions.kndx on every graph
1188
walk iteration fixed by using the Repository.get_graph API. There was
1189
another regression in knit => knit fetching which re-read the index for
1190
every revision each side had in common.
1191
(Robert Collins, John Arbash Meinel)
1192
1193
* When logging the changes to a particular file, there was a bug if there
1194
were ghosts in the revision ancestry. (John Arbash Meinel, #209948)
1195
1196
* xs4all's ftp server returns a temporary error when trying to list an
1197
empty directory, rather than returning an empty list. Adding a
1198
workaround so that we don't get spurious failures.
1199
(John Arbash Meinel, #215522)
1200
1201
DOCUMENTATION:
1202
1203
* Expanded the User Guide to include new chapters on popular plugins and
1204
integrating Bazaar into your environment. The *Best practices* chapter
1205
was renamed to *Miscellaneous topics* as suggested by community
1206
feedback as well. (Ian Clatworthy)
1207
1208
* Document outlining strategies for TortoiseBzr. (Mark Hammond)
1209
1210
* Improved the documentation on hooks. (Ian Clatworthy)
1211
1212
* Update authentication docs regarding ssh agents.
1213
(Vincent Ladeuil, #183705)
1214
1215
TESTING:
1216
1217
* Add ``thread_name_suffix`` parameter to SmartTCPServer_for_testing, to
1218
make it easy to identify which test spawned a thread with an unhandled
1219
exception. (Andrew Bennetts)
1220
1221
* New ``--debugflag``/``-E`` option to ``bzr selftest`` for setting
1222
options for debugging tests, these are complementary to the the -D
1223
options. The ``-Dselftest_debug`` global option has been replaced by the
1224
``-E=allow_debug`` option for selftest. (Andrew Bennetts)
1225
1226
* Parameterised test ids are preserved correctly to aid diagnosis of test
1227
failures. (Robert Collins, Andrew Bennetts)
1228
1229
* selftest now accepts --starting-with <id> to load only the tests whose id
1230
starts with the one specified. This greatly speeds up running the test
1231
suite on a limited set of tests and can be used to run the tests for a
1232
single module, a single class or even a single test. (Vincent Ladeuil)
1233
1234
* The test suite modules have been modified to define load_tests() instead
1235
of test_suite(). That speeds up selective loading (via --load-list)
1236
significantly and provides many examples on how to migrate (grep for
1237
load_tests). (Vincent Ladeuil)
1238
1239
INTERNALS:
1240
1241
* ``Hooks.install_hook`` is now deprecated in favour of
1242
``Hooks.install_named_hook`` which adds a required ``name`` parameter, to
1243
avoid having to call ``Hooks.name_hook``. (Daniel Watkins)
1244
1245
* Implement xml8 serializer. (Aaron Bentley)
1246
1247
* New form ``@deprecated_method(deprecated_in(1, 5, 0))`` for making
1248
deprecation wrappers. (Martin Pool)
1249
1250
* ``Repository.revision_parents`` is now deprecated in favour of
1251
``Repository.get_parent_map([revid])[revid]``. (Jelmer Vernooij)
1252
1253
* The Python ``assert`` statement is no longer used in Bazaar source, and
1254
a test checks this. (Martin Pool)
1255
1256
API CHANGES:
1257
1258
* ``bzrlib.status.show_pending_merges`` requires the repository to be
1259
locked by the caller. Callers should have been doing it anyway, but it
1260
will now raise an exception if they do not. (John Arbash Meinel)
1261
1262
* Repository.get_data_stream, Repository.get_data_stream_for_search(),
1263
Repository.get_deltas_for_revsions(), Repository.revision_trees(),
1264
Repository.item_keys_introduced_by() no longer take read locks.
1265
(Aaron Bentley)
1266
1267
* ``LockableFiles.get_utf8`` and ``.get`` are deprecated, as a start
1268
towards removing LockableFiles and ``.control_files`` entirely.
1269
(Martin Pool)
1270
1271
* Methods deprecated prior to 1.1 have been removed.

1276
------------------
1277
1278
This release of Bazaar includes handy improvements to the speed of log and
1279
status, new options for several commands, improved documentation, and better
1280
hooks, including initial code for server-side hooks. A number of bugs have
1281
been fixed, particularly in interoperability between different formats or
1282
different releases of Bazaar over there network. There's been substantial
1283
internal work in both the repository and network code to enable new features
1284
and faster performance.
1285
1286
BUG FIXES:
1287
1288
* Pushing a branch in "dirstate" format (Branch5) over bzr+ssh would break
1289
if the remote server was < version 1.2. This was due to a bug in the
1290
RemoteRepository.get_parent_map() fallback code.

1298
1299
* ``bzr log -r ..X bzr://`` was failing, because it was getting a request
1300
for ``revision_id=None`` which was not a string.
1301
(John Arbash Meinel, #211661)
1302
1303
* Fixed a bug in handling ghost revisions when logging changes in a
1304
particular file. (John Arbash Meinel, #209948)
1305
1306
* Fix error about "attempt to add line-delta in non-delta knit".
1307
(Andrew Bennetts, #205156)
1308
1309
* Fixed performance degradation in fetching from knit repositories to
1310
knits and packs due to parsing the entire revisions.kndx on every graph
1311
walk iteration fixed by using the Repository.get_graph API. There was
1312

CHANGES:
1321
1322
* bzr main script cannot be imported (Benjamin Peterson)
1323
1324
* On Linux bzr additionally looks for plugins in arch-independent site
1325
directory. (Toshio Kuratomi)
1326
1327
* The ``set_rh`` branch hook is now deprecated. Please migrate
1328
any plugins using this hook to use an alternative, e.g.
1329
``post_change_branch_tip``. (Ian Clatworthy)
1330
1331
* When a plugin cannot be loaded as the file path is not a valid
1332
python module name bzr will now strip a ``bzr_`` prefix from the
1333
front of the suggested name, as many plugins (e.g. bzr-svn)
1334
want to be installed without this prefix. It is a common mistake
1335
to have a folder named "bzr-svn" for that plugin, especially
1336
as this is what bzr branch lp:bzr-svn will give you. (James Westby,
1337
Andrew Cowie)
1338
1339
* UniqueIntegerBugTracker now appends bug-ids instead of joining
1340
them to the base URL. Plugins that register bug trackers may
1341
need a trailing / added to the base URL if one is not already there.
1342
(James Wesby, Andrew Cowie)
1343
1344
FEATURES:
1345
1346
* Added start_commit hook for mutable trees. (Jelmer Vernooij, #186422)
1347
1348
* ``status`` now accepts ``--no-pending`` to show the status without
1349
listing pending merges, which speeds up the command a lot on large
1350
histories. (James Westby, #202830)
1351
1352
* New ``post_change_branch_tip`` hook that is called after the
1353
branch tip is moved but while the branch is still write-locked.
1354
See the User Reference for signature details.
1355
(Ian Clatworthy, James Henstridge)
1356
1357
* Reconfigure can convert a branch to be standalone or to use a shared
1358
repository. (Aaron Bentley)
1359
1360
IMPROVEMENTS:
1361
1362
* The smart protocol now has support for setting branches' revision info
1363
directly. This should make operations like push slightly faster, and is a
1364
step towards server-side hooks. The new request method name is
1365
``Branch.set_last_revision_info``. (Andrew Bennetts)
1366
1367
* ``bzr commit --fixes`` now recognises "gnome" as a tag by default.
1368
(James Westby, Andrew Cowie)
1369
1370
* ``bzr switch`` will attempt to find branches to switch to relative to the
1371
current branch. E.g. ``bzr switch branchname`` will look for
1372
``current_branch/../branchname``. (Robert Collins, Jelmer Vernooij,
1373
Wouter van Heyst)
1374
1375
* Diff is now more specific about execute-bit changes it describes
1376
(Chad Miller)
1377
1378
* Fetching data over HTTP is a bit faster when urllib is used. This is done
1379
by forcing it to recv 64k at a time when reading lines in HTTP headers,
1380
rather than just 1 byte at a time. (Andrew Bennetts)
1381
1382
* Log --short and --line are much faster when -r is not specified.
1383
(Aaron Bentley)
1384
1385
* Merge is faster. We no longer check a file's existence unnecessarily
1386
when merging the execute bit. (Aaron Bentley)
1387
1388
* ``bzr status`` on an explicit list of files no longer shows pending
1389
merges, making it much faster on large trees. (John Arbash Meinel)
1390
1391
* The launchpad directory service now warns the user if they have not set
1392
their launchpad login and are trying to resolve a URL using it, just
1393
in case they want to do a write operation with it. (James Westby)
1394
1395
* The smart protocol client is slightly faster, because it now only queries
1396
the server for the protocol version once per connection. Also, the HTTP
1397
transport will now automatically probe for and use a smart server if
1398
one is present. You can use the new ``nosmart+`` transport decorator
1399
to get the old behaviour. (Andrew Bennetts)
1400
1401
* The ``version`` command takes a ``--short`` option to print just the
1402
version number, for easier use in scripts. (Martin Pool)
1403
1404
* Various operations with revision specs and commands that calculate
1405
revnos and revision ids are faster. (John A. Meinel, Aaron Bentley)
1406
1407
BUGFIXES:
1408
1409
* Add ``root_client_path`` parameter to SmartWSGIApp and
1410
SmartServerRequest. This makes it possible to publish filesystem
1411
locations that don't exactly match URL paths. SmartServerRequest
1412
subclasses should use the new ``translate_client_path`` and
1413
``transport_from_client_path`` methods when dealing with paths received
1414
from a client to take this into account. (Andrew Bennetts, #124089)
1415
1416
* ``bzr mv a b`` can be now used also to rename previously renamed
1417
directories, not only files. (Lukáš Lalinský, #107967)
1418
1419
* ``bzr uncommit --local`` can now remove revisions from the local
1420
branch to be symmetric with ``bzr commit --local``.
1421
(John Arbash Meinel, #93412)
1422
1423
* Don't ask for a password if there is no real terminal.
1424
(Alexander Belchenko, #69851)
1425
1426
* Fix a bug causing a ValueError crash in ``parse_line_delta_iter`` when
1427
fetching revisions from a knit to pack repository or vice versa using
1428
bzr:// (including over http or ssh).
1429
(#208418, Andrew Bennetts, Martin Pool, Robert Collins)
1430
1431
* Fixed ``_get_line`` in ``bzrlib.smart.medium``, which was buggy. Also
1432
fixed ``_get_bytes`` in the same module to use the push back buffer.
1433
These bugs had no known impact in normal use, but were problematic for
1434
developers working on the code, and were likely to cause real bugs sooner
1435
or later. (Andrew Bennetts)
1436
1437
* Implement handling of basename parameter for DefaultMail. (James Westby)
1438
1439
* Incompatibility with Paramiko versions newer than 1.7.2 was fixed.
1440
(Andrew Bennetts, #213425)
1441
1442
* Launchpad locations (lp: URLs) can be pulled. (Aaron Bentley, #181945)
1443
1444
* Merges that add files to deleted root directories complete. They
1445
do create conflicts. (Aaron Bentley, #210092)
1446
1447
* vsftp's return ``550 RNFR command failed.`` supported.
1448
(Marcus Trautwig, #129786)

DOCUMENTATION:
1451
1452
* Improved documentation on send/merge relationship. (Peter Schuller)
1453
1454
* Minor fixes to the User Guide. (Matthew Fuller)
1455
1456
* Reduced the evangelism in the User Guide. (Ian Clatworthy)
1457
1458
* Added Integrating with Bazaar document for developers (Martin Albisetti)
1459
1460
API BREAKS:
1461
1462
* Attempting to pull data from a ghost aware repository (e.g. knits) into a
1463
non-ghost aware repository such as weaves will now fail if there are
1464
ghosts. (Robert Collins)
1465
1466
* ``KnitVersionedFile`` no longer accepts an ``access_mode`` parameter, and
1467
now requires the ``index`` and ``access_method`` parameters to be
1468
supplied. A compatible shim has been kept in the new function
1469
``knit.make_file_knit``. (Robert Collins)
1470
1471
* Log formatters must now provide log_revision instead of show and
1472
show_merge_revno methods. The latter had been deprecated since the 0.17
1473
release. (James Westby)
1474
1475
* ``LoopbackSFTP`` is now called ``SocketAsChannelAdapter``.
1476
(Andrew Bennetts)
1477
1478
* ``osutils.backup_file`` is removed. (Alexander Belchenko)
1479
1480
* ``Repository.get_revision_graph`` is deprecated, with no replacement
1481
method. The method was size(history) and not desirable. (Robert Collins)
1482
1483
* ``revision.revision_graph`` is deprecated, with no replacement function.
1484
The function was size(history) and not desirable. (Robert Collins)
1485
1486
* ``Transport.get_shared_medium`` is deprecated. Use
1487
``Transport.get_smart_medium`` instead. (Andrew Bennetts)
1488
1489
* ``VersionedFile`` factories now accept a get_scope parameter rather
1490
than using a call to ``transaction_finished``, allowing the removal of
1491
the fixed list of versioned files per repository. (Robert Collins)
1492
1493
* ``VersionedFile.annotate_iter`` is deprecated. While in principle this
1494
allowed lower memory use, all users of annotations wanted full file
1495
annotations, and there is no storage format suitable for incremental
1496
line-by-line annotation. (Robert Collins)
1497
1498
* ``VersionedFile.clone_text`` is deprecated. This performance optimisation
1499
is no longer used - reading the content of a file that is undergoing a
1500
file level merge to identical state on two branches is rare enough, and
1501
not expensive enough to special case. (Robert Collins)
1502
1503
* ``VersionedFile.clear_cache`` and ``enable_cache`` are deprecated.
1504
These methods added significant complexity to the ``VersionedFile``
1505
implementation, but were only used for optimising fetches from knits -
1506
which can be done from outside the knit layer, or via a caching
1507
decorator. As knits are not the default format, the complexity is no
1508
longer worth paying. (Robert Collins)
1509
1510
* ``VersionedFile.create_empty`` is removed. This method presupposed a
1511
sensible mapping to a transport for individual files, but pack backed
1512
versioned files have no such mapping. (Robert Collins)
1513
1514
* ``VersionedFile.get_graph`` is deprecated, with no replacement method.
1515
The method was size(history) and not desirable. (Robert Collins)
1516
1517
* ``VersionedFile.get_graph_with_ghosts`` is deprecated, with no
1518
replacement method. The method was size(history) and not desirable.
1519
(Robert Collins)
1520
1521
* ``VersionedFile.get_parents`` is deprecated, please use
1522
``VersionedFile.get_parent_map``. (Robert Collins)
1523
1524
* ``VersionedFile.get_sha1`` is deprecated, please use
1525
``VersionedFile.get_sha1s``. (Robert Collins)
1526
1527
* ``VersionedFile.has_ghost`` is now deprecated, as it is both expensive
1528
and unused outside of a single test. (Robert Collins)
1529
1530
* ``VersionedFile.iter_parents`` is now deprecated in favour of
1531
``get_parent_map`` which can be used to instantiate a Graph on a
1532
VersionedFile. (Robert Collins)
1533
1534
* ``VersionedFileStore`` no longer uses the transaction parameter given
1535
to most methods; amongst other things this means that the
1536
get_weave_or_empty method no longer guarantees errors on a missing weave
1537
in a readonly transaction, and no longer caches versioned file instances
1538
which reduces memory pressure (but requires more careful management by
1539
callers to preserve performance). (Robert Collins)
1540
1541
TESTING:
1542
1543
* New -Dselftest_debug flag disables clearing of the debug flags during
1544
tests. This is useful if you want to use e.g. -Dhpss to help debug a
1545
failing test. Be aware that using this feature is likely to cause
1546
spurious test failures if used with the full suite. (Andrew Bennetts)
1547
1548
* selftest --load-list now uses a new more agressive test loader that will
1549
avoid loading unneeded modules and building their tests. Plugins can use
1550
this new loader by defining a load_tests function instead of a test_suite
1551
function. (a forthcoming patch will provide many examples on how to
1552
implement this).
1553
(Vincent Ladeuil)
1554
1555
* selftest --load-list now does some sanity checks regarding duplicate test
1556
IDs and tests present in the list but not found in the actual test suite.
1557
(Vincent Ladeuil)
1558
1559
* Slightly more concise format for the selftest progress bar, so there's
1560
more space to show the test name. (Martin Pool) ::
1561
1562
[2500/10884, 1fail, 3miss in 1m29s] test_revisionnamespaces.TestRev
1563
1564
* The test suite takes much less memory to run, and is a bit faster. This
1565
is done by clearing most attributes of TestCases after running them, if
1566
they succeeded. (Andrew Bennetts)
1567
1568
INTERNALS:
1569
1570
* Added ``_build_client_protocol`` to ``_SmartClient``. (Andrew Bennetts)
1571
1572
* Added basic infrastructure for automatic plugin suggestion.
1573
(Martin Albisetti)
1574
1575
* If a ``LockableFiles`` object is not explicitly unlocked (for example
1576
because of a missing ``try/finally`` block, it will give a warning but
1577
not automatically unlock itself. (Previously they did.) This
1578
sometimes caused knock-on errors if for example the network connection
1579
had already failed, and should not be relied upon by code.
1580
(Martin Pool, #109520)
1581
1582
* ``make dist`` target to build a release tarball, and also
1583
``check-dist-tarball`` and ``dist-upload-escudero``. (Martin Pool)
1584
1585
* The ``read_response_tuple`` method of ``SmartClientRequestProtocol*``
1586
classes will now raise ``UnknownSmartMethod`` when appropriate, so that
1587
callers don't need to try distinguish unknown request errors from other
1588
errors. (Andrew Bennetts)
1589
1590
* ``set_make_working_trees`` is now implemented provided on all repository
1591
implementations (Aaron Bentley)
1592
1593
* ``VersionedFile`` now has a new method ``get_parent_map`` which, like
1594
``Graph.get_parent_map`` returns a dict of key:parents. (Robert Collins)

1615
------------------
1616
1617
Bazaar has become part of the GNU project <http://www.gnu.org>
1618
1619
Many operations that act on history, including ``log`` and ``annotate`` are now
1620
substantially faster. Several bugs have been fixed and several new options and
1621
features have been added.
1622
1623
TESTING:
1624
1625

NOTES WHEN UPGRADING:
1634
1635
* The backup directory created by ``upgrade`` is now called
1636
``backup.bzr``, not ``.bzr.backup``. (Martin Albisetti)
1637
1638
CHANGES:
1639
1640
* A new repository format 'development' has been added. This format will
1641
represent the latest 'in-progress' format that the bzr developers are
1642
interested in getting early-adopter testing and feedback on.
1643
``doc/developers/development-repo.txt`` has detailed information.
1644
(Robert Collins)
1645
1646
* BZR_LOG environment variable controls location of .bzr.log trace file.
1647
User can suppress writing messages to .bzr.log by using '/dev/null'
1648
filename (on Linux) or 'NUL' (on Windows). If BZR_LOG variable
1649
is not defined but BZR_HOME is defined then default location
1650
for .bzr.log trace file is ``$BZR_HOME/.bzr.log``.
1651
(Alexander Belchenko)
1652
1653
* ``launchpad`` builtin plugin now shipped as separate part in standalone
1654
bzr.exe, installed to ``C:\Program Files\Bazaar\plugins`` directory,
1655
and standalone installer allows user to skip installation of this plugin.
1656
(Alexander Belchenko)
1657
1658
* Restore auto-detection of plink.exe on Windows. (Dmitry Vasiliev)
1659
1660
* Version number is now shown as "1.2" or "1.2pr2", without zeroed or
1661
missing final fields. (Martin Pool)
1662
1663
FEATURES:
1664
1665
* ``branch`` and ``checkout`` can hard-link working tree files, which is
1666
faster and saves space. (Aaron Bentley)
1667
1668
* ``bzr send`` will now also look at the ``child_submit_to`` setting in
1669
the submit branch to determine the email address to send to.
1670
(Jelmer Vernooij)
1671
1672
IMPROVEMENTS:
1673
1674
* BzrBranch._lefthand_history is faster on pack repos. (Aaron Bentley)
1675
1676
* Branch6.generate_revision_history is faster. (Aaron Bentley)
1677
1678
* Directory services can now be registered, allowing special URLs to be
1679
dereferenced into real URLs. This is a generalization and cleanup of
1680
the lp: transport lookup. (Aaron Bentley)
1681
1682
* Merge directives that are automatically attached to emails have nicer
1683
filenames, based on branch-nick + revno. (Aaron Bentley)
1684
1685
* ``push`` has a ``--revision`` option, to specify what revision to push up
1686
to. (Daniel Watkins)
1687
1688
* Significantly reducing execution time and network traffic for trivial
1689
case of running ``bzr missing`` command for two identical branches.
1690
(Alexander Belchenko)
1691
1692
* Speed up operations that look at the revision graph (such as 'bzr log').
1693
``KnitPackRepositor.get_revision_graph`` uses ``Graph.iter_ancestry`` to
1694
extract the revision history. This allows filtering ghosts while
1695
stepping instead of needing to peek ahead. (John Arbash Meinel)
1696
1697
* The ``hooks`` command lists installed hooks, to assist in debugging.
1698
(Daniel Watkins)
1699
1700
* Updates to how ``annotate`` work. Should see a measurable improvement in
1701
performance and memory consumption for file with a lot of merges.
1702
Also, correctly handle when a line is introduced by both parents (it
1703
should be attributed to the first merge which notices this, and not
1704
to all subsequent merges.) (John Arbash Meinel)
1705
1706
BUGFIXES:
1707
1708
* Autopacking no longer holds the full set of inventory lines in
1709
memory while copying. For large repositories, this can amount to
1710
hundreds of MB of ram consumption.
1711
(Ian Clatworthy, John Arbash Meinel)
1712
1713
* Cherrypicking when using ``--format=merge3`` now explictly excludes
1714
BASE lines. (John Arbash Meinel, #151731)
1715
1716
* Disable plink's interactive prompt for password.
1717
(#107593, Dmitry Vasiliev)
1718
1719
* Encode command line arguments from unicode to user_encoding before
1720
invoking external mail client in `bzr send` command.
1721
(#139318, Alexander Belchenko)
1722
1723
* Fixed problem connecting to ``bzr+https://`` servers.
1724
(#198793, John Ferlito)
1725
1726
* Improved error reporting in the Launchpad plugin. (Daniel Watkins,
1727
#196618)
1728
1729
* Include quick-start-summary.svg file to python-based installer(s)
1730
for Windows. (#192924, Alexander Belchenko)
1731
1732
* lca merge now respects specified files. (Aaron Bentley)
1733
1734
* Make version-info --custom imply --all. (#195560, James Westby)
1735
1736
* ``merge --preview`` now works for merges that add or modify
1737
symlinks (James Henstridge)
1738
1739
* Redirecting the output from ``bzr merge`` (when the remembered
1740
location is used) now works. (John Arbash Meinel)
1741
1742
* setup.py script explicitly checks for Python version.
1743
(Jari Aalto, Alexander Belchenko, #200569)
1744
1745
* UnknownFormatErrors no longer refer to branches regardless of kind of
1746
unknown format. (Daniel Watkins, #173980)
1747
1748
* Upgrade bundled ConfigObj to version 4.5.2, which properly quotes #
1749
signs, among other small improvements. (Matt Nordhoff, #86838)
1750
1751
* Use correct indices when emitting LCA conflicts. This fixes IndexError
1752
errors. (Aaron Bentley, #196780)
1753
1754
DOCUMENTATION:

1756
* Explained how to use ``version-info --custom`` in the User Guide.

1759
API BREAKS:
1760
1761
* Support for loading plugins from zip files and
1762
``bzrlib.plugin.load_from_zip()`` function are deprecated.
1763
(Alexander Belchenko)
1764
1765
TESTING:
1766
1767
* Added missing blackbox tests for ``modified`` (Adrian Wilkins)
1768
1769
* The branch interface tests were invalid for branches using rich-root
1770
repositories because the empty string is not a valid file-id.
1771
(Robert Collins)
1772
1773
INTERNALS:
1774
1775
* ``Graph.iter_ancestry`` returns the ancestry of revision ids. Similar to
1776
``Repository.get_revision_graph()`` except it includes ghosts and you can
1777
stop part-way through. (John Arbash Meinel)
1778
1779
* New module ``tools/package_mf.py`` provide custom module finder for
1780
python packages (improves standard python library's modulefinder.py)
1781
used by ``setup.py`` script while building standalone bzr.exe.
1782
(Alexander Belchenko)
1783
1784
* New remote method ``RemoteBzrDir.find_repositoryV2`` adding support for
1785
detecting external lookup support on remote repositories. This method is
1786
now attempted first when lookup up repositories, leading to an extra
1787
round trip on older bzr smart servers. (Robert Collins)
1788
1789
* Repository formats have a new supported-feature attribute
1790
``supports_external_lookups`` used to indicate repositories which support
1791
falling back to other repositories when they have partial data.
1792
(Robert Collins)
1793
1794
* ``Repository.get_revision_graph_with_ghosts`` and
1795
``bzrlib.revision.(common_ancestor,MultipleRevisionSources,common_graph)``
1796
have been deprecated. (John Arbash Meinel)
1797
1798
* ``Tree.iter_changes`` is now a public API, replacing the work-in-progress
1799
``Tree._iter_changes``. The api is now considered stable and ready for
1800
external users. (Aaron Bentley)
1801
1802
* The bzrdir format registry now accepts an ``alias`` keyword to
1803
register_metadir, used to indicate that a format name is an alias for
1804
some other format and thus should not be reported when describing the
1805
format. (Robert Collins)

NOTES WHEN UPGRADING:
1820
1821
* Fetching via the smart protocol may need to reconnect once during a fetch
1822
if the remote server is running Bazaar 1.1 or earlier, because the client
1823
attempts to use more efficient requests that confuse older servers. You
1824
may be required to re-enter a password or passphrase when this happens.
1825
This won't happen if the server is upgraded to Bazaar 1.2.
1826
(Andrew Bennetts)
1827
1828
CHANGES:
1829
1830
* Fetching via bzr+ssh will no longer fill ghosts by default (this is
1831
consistent with pack-0.92 fetching over SFTP). (Robert Collins)
1832
1833
* Formatting of ``bzr plugins`` output is changed to be more human-
1834
friendly. Full path of plugins locations will be shown only with
1835
``--verbose`` command-line option. (Alexander Belchenko)
1836
1837
* ``merge`` now prefers to use the submit branch, but will fall back to
1838
parent branch. For many users, this has no effect. But some users who
1839
pull and merge on the same branch will notice a change. This change
1840
makes it easier to work on a branch on two different machines, pulling
1841
between the machines, while merging from the upstream.
1842
``merge --remember`` can now be used to set the submit_branch.
1843
(Aaron Bentley)
1844
1845
FEATURES:
1846
1847
* ``merge --preview`` produces a diff of the changes merge would make,
1848
but does not actually perform the merge. (Aaron Bentley)
1849
1850
* New smart method ``Repository.get_parent_map`` for getting revision
1851
parent data. This returns additional parent information topologically
1852
adjacent to the requested data to reduce round trip latency impacts.
1853
(Robert Collins)
1854
1855
* New smart method, ``Repository.stream_revisions_chunked``, for fetching
1856
revision data that streams revision data via a chunked encoding. This
1857
avoids buffering large amounts of revision data on the server and on the
1858
client, and sends less data to the server to request the revisions.
1859
(Andrew Bennetts, Robert Collins, #178353)
1860
1861
* The launchpad plugin now handles lp urls of the form
1862
``lp://staging/``, ``lp://demo/``, ``lp://dev/`` to use the appropriate
1863
launchpad instance to do the resolution of the branch identities.
1864
This is primarily of use to Launchpad developers, but can also
1865
be used by other users who want to try out Launchpad as
1866
a branch location without messing up their public Launchpad
1867
account. Branches that are pushed to the staging environment
1868
have an expected lifetime of one day. (Tim Penhey)
1869
1870
IMPROVEMENTS:
1871
1872
* Creating a new branch no longer tries to read the entire revision-history
1873
unnecessarily over smart server operations. (Robert Collins)
1874
1875
* Fetching between different repository formats with compatible models now
1876
takes advantage of the smart method to stream revisions. (Andrew Bennetts)
1877
1878
* The ``--coverage`` option is now global, rather specific to ``bzr
1879
selftest``. (Andrew Bennetts)
1880
1881
* The ``register-branch`` command will now use the public url of the branch
1882
containing the current directory, if one has been set and no explicit
1883
branch is provided. (Robert Collins)
1884
1885
* Tweak the ``reannotate`` code path to optimize the 2-parent case.
1886
Speeds up ``bzr annotate`` with a pack repository by approx 3:2.
1887
(John Arbash Meinel)
1888
1889
BUGFIXES:
1890
1891
* Calculate remote path relative to the shared medium in _SmartClient. This
1892
is related to the problem in bug #124089. (Andrew Bennetts)
1893
1894
* Cleanly handle connection errors in smart protocol version two, the same
1895
way as they are handled by version one. (Andrew Bennetts)
1896
1897
* Clearer error when ``version-info --custom`` is used without
1898
``--template`` (Lukáš Lalinský)
1899
1900
* Don't raise UnavailableFeature during test setup when medusa is not
1901
available or tearDown is never called leading to nasty side effects.
1902
(#137823, Vincent Ladeuil)
1903
1904
* If a plugin's test suite cannot be loaded, for example because of a syntax
1905
error in the tests, then ``selftest`` fails, rather than just printing
1906
a warning. (Martin Pool, #189771)
1907
1908
* List possible values for BZR_SSH environment variable in env-variables
1909
help topic. (Alexander Belchenko, #181842)
1910
1911
* New methods ``push_log_file`` and ``pop_log_file`` to intercept messages:
1912
popping the log redirection now precisely restores the previous state,
1913
which makes it easier to use bzr log output from other programs.
1914
TestCaseInTempDir no longer depends on a log redirection being established
1915
by the test framework, which lets bzr tests cleanly run from a normal
1916
unittest runner.
1917
(#124153, #124849, Martin Pool, Jonathan Lange)
1918
1919
* ``pull --quiet`` is now more quiet, in particular a message is no longer
1920
printed when the remembered pull location is used. (James Westby,
1921
#185907)
1922
1923
* ``reconfigure`` can safely be interrupted while fetching.
1924
(Aaron Bentley, #179316)
1925
1926
* ``reconfigure`` preserves tags when converting to and from lightweight
1927
checkouts. (Aaron Bentley, #182040)
1928
1929
* Stop polluting /tmp when running selftest.
1930
(Vincent Ladeuil, #123623)
1931
1932
* Switch from NFKC => NFC for normalization checks. NFC allows a few
1933
more characters which should be considered valid.
1934
(John Arbash Meinel, #185458)
1935
1936
* The launchpad plugin now uses the ``edge`` xmlrpc server to avoid
1937
interacting badly with a bug on the launchpad side. (Robert Collins)
1938
1939
* Unknown hostnames when connecting to a ``bzr://`` URL no longer cause
1940
tracebacks. (Andrew Bennetts, #182849)
1941
1942
API BREAKS:
1943
1944
* Classes implementing Merge types like Merge3Merger must now accept (and
1945
honour) a do_merge flag in their constructor. (Aaron Bentley)
1946
1947
* ``Repository.add_inventory`` and ``add_revision`` now require the caller
1948
to previously take a write lock (and start a write group.)
1949
(Martin Pool)
1950
1951
TESTING:
1952
1953
* selftest now accepts --load-list <file> to load a test id list. This
1954
speeds up running the test suite on a limited set of tests.
1955
(Vincent Ladeuil)
1956
1957
INTERNALS:
1958
1959
* Add a new method ``get_result`` to graph search objects. The resulting
1960
``SearchResult`` can be used to recreate the search later, which will
1961
be useful in reducing network traffic. (Robert Collins)
1962
1963
* Use convenience function to check whether two repository handles
1964
are referring to the same repository in ``Repository.get_graph``.
1965
(Jelmer Vernooij, #187162)
1966
1967
* Fetching now passes the find_ghosts flag through to the
1968
``InterRepository.missing_revision_ids`` call consistently for all
1969
repository types. This will enable faster missing revision discovery with
1970
bzr+ssh. (Robert Collins)
1971
1972
* Fix error handling in Repository.insert_data_stream. (Lukas Lalinsky)
1973
1974
* ``InterRepository.missing_revision_ids`` is now deprecated in favour of
1975
``InterRepository.search_missing_revision_ids`` which returns a
1976
``bzrlib.graph.SearchResult`` suitable for making requests from the smart
1977
server. (Robert Collins)
1978
1979
* New error ``NoPublicBranch`` for commands that need a public branch to
1980
operate. (Robert Collins)
1981
1982
* New method ``iter_inventories`` on Repository for access to many
1983
inventories. This is primarily used by the ``revision_trees`` method, as
1984
direct access to inventories is discouraged. (Robert Collins)
1985
1986
* New method ``next_with_ghosts`` on the Graph breadth-first-search objects
1987
which will split out ghosts and present parents into two separate sets,
1988
useful for code which needs to be aware of ghosts (e.g. fetching data
1989
cares about ghosts during revision selection). (Robert Collins)
1990
1991
* Record a timestamp against each mutter to the trace file, relative to the
1992
first import of bzrlib. (Andrew Bennetts)
1993
1994
* ``Repository.get_data_stream`` is now deprecated in favour of
1995
``Repository.get_data_stream_for_search`` which allows less network
1996
traffic when requesting data streams over a smart server. (Robert Collins)
1997
1998
* ``RemoteBzrDir._get_tree_branch`` no longer triggers ``_ensure_real``,
1999
removing one round trip on many network operations. (Robert Collins)
2000
2001
* RemoteTransport's ``recommended_page_size`` method now returns 64k, like
2002
SFTPTransport and HttpTransportBase. (Andrew Bennetts)
2003
2004
* Repository has a new method ``has_revisions`` which signals the presence
2005
of many revisions by returning a set of the revisions listed which are
2006
present. This can be done by index queries without reading data for parent
2007
revision names etc. (Robert Collins)

2016
---------------------
2017
2018
CHANGES:
2019
2020
* Dotted revision numbers have been revised. Instead of growing longer with
2021
nested branches the branch number just increases. (eg instead of 1.1.1.1.1
2022
we now report 1.2.1.) This helps scale long lived branches which have many
2023
feature branches merged between them. (John Arbash Meinel)
2024
2025
* The syntax ``bzr diff branch1 branch2`` is no longer supported.
2026
Use ``bzr diff branch1 --new branch2`` instead. This change has
2027
been made to remove the ambiguity where ``branch2`` is in fact a
2028
specific file to diff within ``branch1``.
2029
2030
FEATURES:
2031
2032
* New option to use custom template-based formats in ``bzr version-info``.
2033
(Lukáš Lalinský)
2034
2035
* diff '--using' allows an external diff tool to be used for files.
2036
(Aaron Bentley)
2037
2038
* New "lca" merge-type for fast everyday merging that also supports
2039
criss-cross merges. (Aaron Bentley)
2040
2041
IMPROVEMENTS:
2042
2043
* ``annotate`` now doesn't require a working tree. (Lukáš Lalinský,
2044
#90049)
2045
2046
* ``branch`` and ``checkout`` can now use files from a working tree to
2047
to speed up the process. For checkout, this requires the new
2048
--files-from flag. (Aaron Bentley)
2049
2050
* ``bzr diff`` now sorts files in alphabetical order. (Aaron Bentley)
2051
2052
* ``bzr diff`` now works on branches without working trees. Tree-less
2053
branches can also be compared to each other and to working trees using
2054
the new diff options ``--old`` and ``--new``. Diffing between branches,
2055
with or without trees, now supports specific file filtering as well.
2056
(Ian Clatworthy, #6700)
2057
2058
* ``bzr pack`` now orders revision texts in topological order, with newest
2059
at the start of the file, promoting linear reads for ``bzr log`` and the
2060
like. This partially fixes #154129. (Robert Collins)
2061
2062
* Merge directives now fetch prerequisites from the target branch if
2063
needed. (Aaron Bentley)
2064
2065
* pycurl now handles digest authentication.
2066
(Vincent Ladeuil)
2067
2068
* ``reconfigure`` can now convert from repositories. (Aaron Bentley)
2069
2070
* ``-l`` is now a short form for ``--limit`` in ``log``. (Matt Nordhoff)
2071
2072
* ``merge`` now warns when merge directives cause cherrypicks.
2073
(Aaron Bentley)
2074
2075
* ``split`` now supported, to enable splitting large trees into smaller
2076
pieces. (Aaron Bentley)
2077
2078
BUGFIXES:
2079
2080
* Avoid AttributeError when unlocking a pack repository when an error occurs.
2081
(Martin Pool, #180208)
2082
2083
* Better handle short reads when processing multiple range requests.
2084
(Vincent Ladeuil, #179368)
2085
2086
* build_tree acceleration uses the correct path when a file has been moved.
2087
(Aaron Bentley)
2088
2089
* ``commit`` now succeeds when a checkout and its master branch share a
2090
repository. (Aaron Bentley, #177592)
2091
2092
* Fixed error reporting of unsupported timezone format in
2093
``log --timezone``. (Lukáš Lalinský, #178722)
2094
2095
* Fixed Unicode encoding error in ``ignored`` when the output is
2096
redirected to a pipe. (Lukáš Lalinský)
2097
2098
* Fix traceback when sending large response bodies over the smart protocol
2099
on Windows. (Andrew Bennetts, #115781)
2100
2101
* Fix ``urlutils.relative_url`` for the case of two ``file:///`` URLs
2102
pointed to different logical drives on Windows.
2103
(Alexander Belchenko, #90847)
2104
2105
* HTTP test servers are now compatible with the http protocol version 1.1.
2106
(Vincent Ladeuil, #175524)
2107
2108
* _KnitParentsProvider.get_parent_map now handles requests for ghosts
2109
correctly, instead of erroring or attributing incorrect parents to ghosts.
2110
(Aaron Bentley)
2111
2112
* ``merge --weave --uncommitted`` now works. (Aaron Bentley)
2113
2114
* pycurl authentication handling was broken and incomplete. Fix handling of
2115
user:pass embedded in the urls.
2116
(Vincent Ladeuil, #177643)
2117
2118
* Files inside non-directories are now handled like other conflict types.
2119
(Aaron Bentley, #177390)
2120
2121
* ``reconfigure`` is able to convert trees into lightweight checkouts.
2122
(Aaron Bentley)
2123
2124
* Reduce lockdir timeout to 0 when running ``bzr serve``. (Andrew Bennetts,
2125
#148087)
2126
2127
* Test that the old ``version_info_format`` functions still work, even
2128
though they are deprecated. (John Arbash Meinel, ShenMaq, #177872)
2129
2130
* Transform failures no longer cause ImmortalLimbo errors (Aaron Bentley,
2131
#137681)
2132
2133
* ``uncommit`` works even when the commit messages of revisions to be
2134
removed use characters not supported in the terminal encoding.
2135
(Aaron Bentley)
2136
2137
* When dumb http servers return whole files instead of the requested ranges,
2138
read the remaining bytes by chunks to avoid overflowing network buffers.
2139
(Vincent Ladeuil, #175886)
2140
2141
DOCUMENTATION:
2142
2143
* Minor tweaks made to the bug tracker integration documentation.
2144
(Ian Clatworthy)
2145
2146
* Reference material has now be moved out of the User Guide and added
2147
to the User Reference. The User Reference has gained 4 sections as
2148
a result: Authenication Settings, Configuration Settings, Conflicts
2149
and Hooks. All help topics are now dumped into text format in the
2150
doc/en/user-reference directory for those who like browsing that
2151
information in their editor. (Ian Clatworthy)
2152
2153
* *Using Bazaar with Launchpad* tutorial added. (Ian Clatworthy)
2154
2155
INTERNALS:
2156
2157
* find_* methods available for BzrDirs, Branches and WorkingTrees.
2158
(Aaron Bentley)
2159
2160
* Help topics can now be loaded from files.
2161
(Ian Clatworthy, Alexander Belchenko)
2162
2163
* get_parent_map now always provides tuples as its output. (Aaron Bentley)
2164
2165
* Parent Providers should now implement ``get_parent_map`` returning a
2166
dictionary instead of ``get_parents`` returning a list.
2167
``Graph.get_parents`` is now deprecated. (John Arbash Meinel,
2168
Robert Collins)
2169
2170
* Patience Diff now supports arbitrary python objects, as long as they
2171
support ``hash()``. (John Arbash Meinel)
2172
2173
* Reduce selftest overhead to establish test names by memoization.
2174
(Vincent Ladeuil)
2175
2176
API BREAKS:
2177
2178
TESTING:
2179
2180
* Modules can now customise their tests by defining a ``load_tests``
2181
attribute. ``pydoc bzrlib.tests.TestUtil.TestLoader.loadTestsFromModule``
2182
for the documentation on this attribute. (Robert Collins)
2183
2184
* New helper function ``bzrlib.tests.condition_id_re`` which helps
2185
filter tests based on a regular expression search on the tests id.
2186
(Robert Collins)
2187
2188
* New helper function ``bzrlib.tests.condition_isinstance`` which helps
2189
filter tests based on class. (Robert Collins)
2190
2191
* New helper function ``bzrlib.tests.exclude_suite_by_condition`` which
2192
generalises the ``exclude_suite_by_re`` function. (Robert Collins)
2193
2194
* New helper function ``bzrlib.tests.filter_suite_by_condition`` which
2195
generalises the ``filter_suite_by_re`` function. (Robert Collins)
2196
2197
* New helper method ``bzrlib.tests.exclude_tests_by_re`` which gives a new
2198
TestSuite that does not contain tests from the input that matched a
2199
regular expression. (Robert Collins)
2200
2201
* New helper method ``bzrlib.tests.randomize_suite`` which returns a
2202
randomized copy of the input suite. (Robert Collins)
2203
2204
* New helper method ``bzrlib.tests.split_suite_by_re`` which splits a test
2205
suite into two according to a regular expression. (Robert Collins)
2206
2207
* Parametrize all http tests for the transport implementations, the http
2208
protocol versions (1.0 and 1.1) and the authentication schemes.
2209
(Vincent Ladeuil)
2210
2211
* The ``exclude_pattern`` and ``random_order`` parameters to the function
2212
``bzrlib.tests.filter_suite_by_re`` have been deprecated. (Robert Collins)
2213
2214
* The method ``bzrlib.tests.sort_suite_by_re`` has been deprecated. It is
2215
replaced by the new helper methods added in this release. (Robert Collins)

2239
2240
* If a traceback occurs, users are now asked to report the bug

through Launchpad (https://bugs.launchpad.net/bzr/), rather than
2242
by mail to the mailing list.
2243
(Martin Pool)
2244
2245
BUGFIXES:
2246
2247
* Fix Makefile rules for doc generation. (Ian Clatworthy, #175207)
2248
2249
* Give more feedback during long http downloads by making readv deliver data
2250
as it arrives for urllib, and issue more requests for pycurl. High latency
2251
networks are better handled by urllib, the pycurl implementation give more
2252
feedback but also incur more latency.
2253
(Vincent Ladeuil, #173010)
2254
2255
* Implement _make_parents_provider on RemoteRepository, allowing generating
2256
bundles against branches on a smart server. (Andrew Bennetts, #147836)
2257

2264
2265
INTERNALS:
2266

IMPROVEMENTS:
2277
2278
* Added a --coverage option to selftest. (Andrew Bennetts)
2279
2280
* Annotate merge (merge-type=weave) now supports cherrypicking.
2281
(Aaron Bentley)
2282
2283
* ``bzr commit`` now doesn't print the revision number twice. (Matt
2284
Nordhoff, #172612)
2285
2286
* New configuration option ``bugtracker_<tracker_abbrevation>_url`` to
2287
define locations of bug trackers that are not directly supported by
2288
bzr or a plugin. The URL will be treated as a template and ``{id}``
2289
placeholders will be replaced by specific bug IDs. (Lukáš Lalinský)
2290
2291
* Support logging single merge revisions with short and line log formatters.
2292
(Kent Gibson)
2293
2294
* User Guide enhanced with suggested readability improvements from
2295
Matt Revell and corrections from John Arbash Meinel. (Ian Clatworthy)
2296
2297
* Quick Start Guide renamed to Quick Start Card, moved down in
2298
the catalog, provided in pdf and png format and updated to refer
2299
to ``send`` instead of ``bundle``. (Ian Clatworthy, #165080)
2300
2301
* ``switch`` can now be used on heavyweight checkouts as well as
2302
lightweight ones. After switching a heavyweight checkout, the
2303
local branch is a mirror/cache of the new bound branch and
2304
uncommitted changes in the working tree are merged. As a safety
2305
check, if there are local commits in a checkout which have not
2306
been committed to the previously bound branch, then ``switch``
2307
fails unless the ``--force`` option is given. This option is
2308
now also required if the branch a lightweight checkout is pointing
2309
to has been moved. (Ian Clatworthy)

* Better error message when running ``bzr cat`` on a non-existant branch.
2321
(Lukáš Lalinský, #133782)
2322

* Catch OSError 17 (file exists) in final phase of tree transform and show
2324
filename to user.
2325
(Alexander Belchenko, #111758)
2326
2327
* Catch ShortReadvErrors while using pycurl. Also make readv more robust by
2328
allowing multiple GET requests to be issued if too many ranges are
2329
required.
2330
(Vincent Ladeuil, #172701)
2331
2332
* Check for missing basis texts when fetching from packs to packs.
2333
(John Arbash Meinel, #165290)
2334
2335
* Fall back to showing e-mail in ``log --short/--line`` if the

2340
* Deprecate not passing a ``location`` argument to commit reporters'
2341
``started`` methods. (Matt Nordhoff)

2345
---------------------
2346
2347
NOTES WHEN UPGRADING:
2348
2349
* The default repository format is now ``pack-0.92``. This
2350
default is used when creating new repositories with ``init`` and
2351
``init-repo``, and when branching over bzr+ssh or bzr+hpss.
2352
(See https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/164626)
2353
2354
This format can be read and written by Bazaar 0.92 and later, and
2355
data can be transferred to and from older formats.
2356
2357
To upgrade, please reconcile your repository (``bzr reconcile``), and then
2358
upgrade (``bzr upgrade``).
2359
2360
``pack-0.92`` offers substantially better scaling and performance than the
2361
previous knits format. Some operations are slower where the code already
2362
had bad scaling characteristics under knits, the pack format makes such
2363
operations more visible as part of being more scalable overall. We will
2364
correct such operations over the coming releases and encourage the filing
2365
of bugs on any operation which you observe to be slower in a packs
2366
repository. One particular case that we do not intend to fix is pulling
2367
data from a pack repository into a knit repository over a high latency
2368
link; downgrading such data requires reinsertion of the file texts, and
2369
this is a classic space/time tradeoff. The current implementation is
2370
conservative on memory usage because we need to support converting data
2371
from any tree without problems.
2372
(Robert Collins, Martin Pool, #164476)
2373
2374
CHANGES:
2375
2376
* Disable detection of plink.exe as possible ssh vendor. Plink vendor
2377
still available if user selects it explicitly with BZR_SSH environment
2378
variable. (Alexander Belchenko, workaround for bug #107593)
2379
2380
* The pack format is now accessible as "pack-0.92", or "pack-0.92-subtree"
2381
to enable the subtree functions (for example, for bzr-svn).
2382
See http://doc.bazaar-vcs.org/latest/developer/packrepo.html
2383
(Martin Pool)
2384
2385
FEATURES:
2386
2387
* New ``authentication.conf`` file holding the password or other credentials
2388
for remote servers. This can be used for ssh, sftp, smtp and other
2389
supported transports.
2390
(Vincent Ladeuil)
2391
2392
* New rich-root and rich-root-pack formats, recording the same data about
2393
tree roots that's recorded for all other directories.
2394
(Aaron Bentley, #164639)
2395
2396
* ``pack-0.92`` repositories can now be reconciled.
2397
(Robert Collins, #154173)
2398
2399
* ``switch`` command added for changing the branch a lightweight checkout
2400
is associated with and updating the tree to reflect the latest content
2401
accordingly. This command was previously part of the BzrTools plug-in.
2402
(Ian Clatworthy, Aaron Bentley, David Allouche)
2403
2404
* ``reconfigure`` command can now convert branches, trees, or checkouts to
2405
lightweight checkouts. (Aaron Bentley)
2406
2407
PERFORMANCE:
2408
2409
* Commit updates the state of the working tree via a delta rather than
2410
supplying entirely new basis trees. For commit of a single specified file
2411
this reduces the wall clock time for commit by roughly a 30%.
2412
(Robert Collins, Martin Pool)
2413
2414
* Commit with many automatically found deleted paths no longer performs
2415
linear scanning for the children of those paths during inventory
2416
iteration. This should fix commit performance blowing out when many such
2417
paths occur during commit. (Robert Collins, #156491)
2418
2419
* Fetch with pack repositories will no longer read the entire history graph.
2420
(Robert Collins, #88319)
2421
2422
* Revert takes out an appropriate lock when reverting to a basis tree, and
2423
does not read the basis inventory twice. (Robert Collins)
2424
2425
* Diff does not require an inventory to be generated on dirstate trees.
2426
(Aaron Bentley, #149254)
2427
2428
* New annotate merge (--merge-type=weave) implementation is fast on
2429
versionedfiles withough cached annotations, e.g. pack-0.92.
2430
(Aaron Bentley)
2431
2432
IMPROVEMENTS:
2433
2434
* ``bzr merge`` now warns when it encounters a criss-cross merge.
2435
(Aaron Bentley)
2436
2437
* ``bzr send`` now doesn't require the target e-mail address to be
2438
specified on the command line if an interactive e-mail client is used.
2439
(Lukáš Lalinský)
2440
2441
* ``bzr tags`` now prints the revision number for each tag, instead of
2442
the revision id, unless --show-ids is passed. In addition, tags can be
2443
sorted chronologically instead of lexicographically with --sort=time.
2444
(Adeodato Simó, #120231)
2445
2446
* Windows standalone version of bzr is able to load system-wide plugins from
2447
"plugins" subdirectory in installation directory. In addition standalone
2448
installer write to the registry (HKLM\SOFTWARE\Bazaar) useful info
2449
about paths and bzr version. (Alexander Belchenko, #129298)

2453
BUG FIXES:
2454
2455
* A progress bar has been added for knitpack -> knitpack fetching.
2456
(Robert Collins, #157789, #159147)
2457
2458
* Branching from a branch via smart server now preserves the repository
2459
format. (Andrew Bennetts, #164626)
2460
2461
* ``commit`` is now able to invoke an external editor in a non-ascii
2462
directory. (Daniel Watkins, #84043)
2463
2464
* Catch connection errors for ftp.
2465
(Vincent Ladeuil, #164567)
2466
2467
* ``check`` no longer reports spurious unreferenced text versions.
2468
(Robert Collins, John A Meinel, #162931, #165071)
2469
2470
* Conflicts are now resolved recursively by ``revert``.
2471
(Aaron Bentley, #102739)
2472
2473
* Detect invalid transport reuse attempts by catching invalid URLs.
2474
(Vincent Ladeuil, #161819)
2475
2476
* Deleting a file without removing it shows a correct diff, not a traceback.
2477
(Aaron Bentley)
2478
2479
* Do no use timeout in HttpServer anymore.
2480
(Vincent Ladeuil, #158972).
2481
2482
* Don't catch the exceptions related to the http pipeline status before
2483
retrying an http request or some programming errors may be masked.
2484
(Vincent Ladeuil, #160012)
2485
2486
* Fix ``bzr rm`` to not delete modified and ignored files.
2487
(Lukáš Lalinský, #172598)
2488
2489
* Fix exception when revisionspec contains merge revisons but log
2490
formatter doesn't support merge revisions. (Kent Gibson, #148908)
2491
2492
* Fix exception when ScopeReplacer is assigned to before any members have
2493
been retrieved. (Aaron Bentley)
2494
2495
* Fix multiple connections during checkout --lightweight.
2496
(Vincent Ladeuil, #159150)
2497
2498
* Fix possible error in insert_data_stream when copying between
2499
pack repositories over bzr+ssh or bzr+http.
2500
KnitVersionedFile.get_data_stream now makes sure that requested
2501
compression parents are sent before any delta hunks that depend
2502
on them.
2503
(Martin Pool, #164637)
2504
2505
* Fix typo in limiting offsets coalescing for http, leading to
2506
whole files being downloaded instead of parts.
2507
(Vincent Ladeuil, #165061)
2508
2509
* FTP server errors don't error in the error handling code.
2510
(Robert Collins, #161240)
2511
2512
* Give a clearer message when a pull fails because the source needs
2513
to be reconciled.
2514
(Martin Pool, #164443)
2515
2516
* It is clearer when a plugin cannot be loaded because of its name, and a
2517
suggestion for an acceptable name is given. (Daniel Watkins, #103023)
2518
2519
* Leave port as None in transport objects if user doesn't
2520
specify a port in urls.
2521
(vincent Ladeuil, #150860)
2522
2523
* Make sure Repository.fetch(self) is properly a no-op for all
2524
Repository implementations. (John Arbash Meinel, #158333)
2525
2526
* Mark .bzr directories as "hidden" on Windows.
2527
(Alexander Belchenko, #71147)
2528
2529
* ``merge --uncommitted`` can now operate on a single file.
2530
(Aaron Bentley, Lukáš Lalinský, #136890)
2531
2532
* Obsolete packs are now cleaned up by pack and autopack operations.
2533
(Robert Collins, #153789)
2534
2535
* Operations pulling data from a smart server where the underlying
2536
repositories are not both annotated/both unannotated will now work.
2537
(Robert Collins, #165304).
2538
2539
* Reconcile now shows progress bars. (Robert Collins, #159351)
2540
2541
* ``RemoteBranch`` was not initializing ``self._revision_id_to_revno_map``
2542
properly. (John Arbash Meinel, #162486)
2543
2544
* Removing an already-removed file reports the file does not exist. (Daniel
2545
Watkins, #152811)
2546
2547
* Rename on Windows is able to change filename case.
2548
(Alexander Belchenko, #77740)
2549
2550
* Return error instead of a traceback for ``bzr log -r0``.
2551
(Kent Gibson, #133751)
2552
2553
* Return error instead of a traceback when bzr is unable to create
2554
symlink on some platforms (e.g. on Windows).
2555
(Alexander Belchenko, workaround for #81689)
2556
2557
* Revert doesn't crash when restoring a single file from a deleted
2558
directory. (Aaron Bentley)
2559
2560
* Stderr output via logging mechanism now goes through encoded wrapper
2561
and no more uses utf-8, but terminal encoding instead. So all unicode
2562
strings now should be readable in non-utf-8 terminal.
2563
(Alexander Belchenko, #54173)
2564
2565
* The error message when ``move --after`` should be used makes how to do so
2566
clearer. (Daniel Watkins, #85237)
2567
2568
* Unicode-safe output from ``bzr info``. The output will be encoded
2569
using the terminal encoding and unrepresentable characters will be
2570
replaced by '?'. (Lukáš Lalinský, #151844)
2571
2572
* Working trees are no longer created when pushing into a local no-trees
2573
repo. (Daniel Watkins, #50582)
2574
2575
* Upgrade util/configobj to version 4.4.0.
2576
(Vincent Ladeuil, #151208).
2577
2578
* Wrap medusa ftp test server as an FTPServer feature.
2579
(Vincent Ladeuil, #157752)
2580
2581
API BREAKS:
2582
2583
* ``osutils.backup_file`` is deprecated. Actually it's not used in bzrlib
2584
during very long time. (Alexander Belchenko)
2585
2586
* The return value of
2587
``VersionedFile.iter_lines_added_or_present_in_versions`` has been
2588
changed. Previously it was an iterator of lines, now it is an iterator of
2589
(line, version_id) tuples. This change has been made to aid reconcile and
2590
fetch operations. (Robert Collins)
2591
2592
* ``bzrlib.repository.get_versioned_file_checker`` is now private.
2593
(Robert Collins)
2594
2595
* The Repository format registry default has been removed; it was previously
2596
obsoleted by the bzrdir format default, which implies a default repository
2597
format.
2598
(Martin Pool)
2599
2600
INTERNALS:
2601
2602
* Added ``ContainerSerialiser`` and ``ContainerPushParser`` to
2603
``bzrlib.pack``. These classes provide more convenient APIs for generating
2604
and parsing containers from streams rather than from files. (Andrew
2605
Bennetts)
2606
2607
* New module ``lru_cache`` providing a cache for use by tasks that need
2608
semi-random access to large amounts of data. (John A Meinel)
2609
2610
* InventoryEntry.diff is now deprecated. Please use diff.DiffTree instead.

2626
NOTES WHEN UPGRADING:
2627
2628
CHANGES:
2629
2630
* ``bzr`` now returns exit code 4 if an internal error occurred, and
2631
3 if a normal error occurred. (Martin Pool)
2632
2633
* ``pull``, ``merge`` and ``push`` will no longer silently correct some
2634
repository index errors that occured as a result of the Weave disk format.
2635
Instead the ``reconcile`` command needs to be run to correct those
2636
problems if they exist (and it has been able to fix most such problems
2637
since bzr 0.8). Some new problems have been identified during this release
2638
and you should run ``bzr check`` once on every repository to see if you
2639
need to reconcile. If you cannot ``pull`` or ``merge`` from a remote
2640
repository due to mismatched parent errors - a symptom of index errors -
2641
you should simply take a full copy of that remote repository to a clean
2642
directory outside any local repositories, then run reconcile on it, and
2643
finally pull from it locally. (And naturally email the repositories owner
2644
to ask them to upgrade and run reconcile).
2645
(Robert Collins)
2646
2647
FEATURES:
2648
2649
* New ``knitpack-experimental`` repository format. This is interoperable with
2650
the ``dirstate-tags`` format but uses a smarter storage design that greatly
2651
speeds up many operations, both local and remote. This new format can be
2652
used as an option to the ``init``, ``init-repository`` and ``upgrade``
2653
commands. See http://doc.bazaar-vcs.org/0.92/developers/knitpack.html
2654
for further details. (Robert Collins)
2655
2656
* For users of bzr-svn (and those testing the prototype subtree support) that
2657
wish to try packs, a new ``knitpack-subtree-experimental`` format has also
2658
been added. This is interoperable with the ``dirstate-subtrees`` format.
2659
(Robert Collins)
2660
2661
* New ``reconfigure`` command. (Aaron Bentley)
2662
2663
* New ``revert --forget-merges`` command, which removes the record of a pending
2664
merge without affecting the working tree contents. (Martin Pool)
2665
2666
* New ``bzr_remote_path`` configuration variable allows finer control of
2667
remote bzr locations than BZR_REMOTE_PATH environment variable.
2668
(Aaron Bentley)
2669
2670
* New ``launchpad-login`` command to tell Bazaar your Launchpad
2671
user ID. This can then be used by other functions of the
2672
Launchpad plugin. (James Henstridge)
2673
2674
PERFORMANCE:
2675
2676
* Commit in quiet mode is now slightly faster as the information to
2677
output is no longer calculated. (Ian Clatworthy)
2678
2679
* Commit no longer checks for new text keys during insertion when the
2680
revision id was deterministically unique. (Robert Collins)
2681
2682
* Committing a change which is not a merge and does not change the number of
2683
files in the tree is faster by utilising the data about whether files are
2684
changed to determine if the tree is unchanged rather than recalculating
2685
it at the end of the commit process. (Robert Collins)
2686
2687
* Inventory serialisation no longer double-sha's the content.
2688
(Robert Collins)
2689
2690
* Knit text reconstruction now avoids making copies of the lines list for
2691
interim texts when building a single text. The new ``apply_delta`` method
2692
on ``KnitContent`` aids this by allowing modification of the revision id
2693
such objects represent. (Robert Collins)
2694
2695
* Pack indices are now partially parsed for specific key lookup using a
2696
bisection approach. (Robert Collins)
2697
2698
* Partial commits are now approximately 40% faster by walking over the
2699
unselected current tree more efficiently. (Robert Collins)
2700
2701
* XML inventory serialisation takes 20% less time while being stricter about
2702
the contents. (Robert Collins)
2703
2704
* Graph ``heads()`` queries have been fixed to no longer access all history
2705
unnecessarily. (Robert Collins)
2706
2707
IMPROVEMENTS:
2708
2709
* ``bzr+https://`` smart server across https now supported.
2710
(John Ferlito, Martin Pool, #128456)
2711
2712
* Mutt is now a supported mail client; set ``mail_client=mutt`` in your
2713
bazaar.conf and ``send`` will use mutt. (Keir Mierle)
2714
2715
* New option ``-c``/``--change`` for ``merge`` command for cherrypicking
2716
changes from one revision. (Alexander Belchenko, #141368)
2717
2718
* Show encodings, locale and list of plugins in the traceback message.
2719
(Martin Pool, #63894)
2720
2721
* Experimental directory formats can now be marked with
2722
``experimental = True`` during registration. (Ian Clatworthy)
2723
2724
DOCUMENTATION:
2725
2726
* New *Bazaar in Five Minutes* guide. (Matthew Revell)
2727
2728
* The hooks reference documentation is now converted to html as expected.
2729
(Ian Clatworthy)
2730
2731
BUG FIXES:
2732
2733
* Connection error reporting for the smart server has been fixed to
2734
display a user friendly message instead of a traceback.
2735
(Ian Clatworthy, #115601)
2736
2737
* Make sure to use ``O_BINARY`` when opening files to check their
2738
sha1sum. (Alexander Belchenko, John Arbash Meinel, #153493)
2739
2740
* Fix a problem with Win32 handling of the executable bit.
2741
(John Arbash Meinel, #149113)
2742
2743
* ``bzr+ssh://`` and ``sftp://`` URLs that do not specify ports explicitly
2744
no longer assume that means port 22. This allows people using OpenSSH to
2745
override the default port in their ``~/.ssh/config`` if they wish. This
2746
fixes a bug introduced in bzr 0.91. (Andrew Bennetts, #146715)
2747
2748
* Commands reporting exceptions can now be profiled and still have their
2749
data correctly dumped to a file. For example, a ``bzr commit`` with
2750
no changes still reports the operation as pointless but doing so no
2751
longer throws away the profiling data if this command is run with
2752
``--lsprof-file callgrind.out.ci`` say. (Ian Clatworthy)
2753
2754
* Fallback to ftp when paramiko is not installed and sftp can't be used for
2755
``tests/commands`` so that the test suite is still usable without
2756
paramiko.
2757
(Vincent Ladeuil, #59150)
2758
2759
* Fix commit ordering in corner case. (Aaron Bentley, #94975)
2760
2761
* Fix long standing bug in partial commit when there are renames
2762
left in tree. (Robert Collins, #140419)
2763
2764
* Fix selftest semi-random noise during http related tests.
2765
(Vincent Ladeuil, #140614)
2766
2767
* Fix typo in ftp.py making the reconnection fail on temporary errors.
2768
(Vincent Ladeuil, #154259)
2769
2770
* Fix failing test by comparing real paths to cover the case where the TMPDIR
2771
contains a symbolic link.
2772
(Vincent Ladeuil, #141382).
2773
2774
* Fix log against smart server branches that don't support tags.
2775
(James Westby, #140615)
2776
2777
* Fix pycurl http implementation by defining error codes from
2778
pycurl instead of relying on an old curl definition.
2779
(Vincent Ladeuil, #147530)
2780
2781
* Fix 'unprintable error' message when displaying BzrCheckError and
2782
some other exceptions on Python 2.5.
2783
(Martin Pool, #144633)
2784
2785
* Fix ``Inventory.copy()`` and add test for it. (Jelmer Vernooij)
2786
2787
* Handles default value for ListOption in cmd_commit.
2788
(Vincent Ladeuil, #140432)
2789
2790
* HttpServer and FtpServer need to be closed properly or a listening socket
2791
will remain opened.
2792
(Vincent Ladeuil, #140055)
2793
2794
* Monitor the .bzr directory created in the top level test
2795
directory to detect leaking tests.
2796
(Vincent Ladeuil, #147986)
2797
2798
* The basename, not the full path, is now used when checking whether
2799
the profiling dump file begins with ``callgrind.out`` or not. This
2800
fixes a bug reported by Aaron Bentley on IRC. (Ian Clatworthy)
2801
2802
* Trivial fix for invoking command ``reconfigure`` without arguments.
2803
(Rob Weir, #141629)
2804
2805
* ``WorkingTree.rename_one`` will now raise an error if normalisation of the
2806
new path causes bzr to be unable to access the file. (Robert Collins)
2807
2808
* Correctly detect a NoSuchFile when using a filezilla server. (Gary van der
2809
Merwe)
2810
2811
API BREAKS:
2812
2813
* ``bzrlib.index.GraphIndex`` now requires a size parameter to the
2814
constructor, for enabling bisection searches. (Robert Collins)
2815
2816
* ``CommitBuilder.record_entry_contents`` now requires the root entry of a
2817
tree be supplied to it, previously failing to do so would trigger a
2818
deprecation warning. (Robert Collins)
2819
2820
* ``KnitVersionedFile.add*`` will no longer cache added records even when
2821
enable_cache() has been called - the caching feature is now exclusively for
2822
reading existing data. (Robert Collins)
2823
2824
* ``ReadOnlyLockError`` is deprecated; ``LockFailed`` is usually more
2825
appropriate. (Martin Pool)
2826
2827
* Removed ``bzrlib.transport.TransportLogger`` - please see the new
2828
``trace+`` transport instead. (Robert Collins)
2829
2830
* Removed previously deprecated varargs interface to ``TestCase.run_bzr`` and
2831
deprecated methods ``TestCase.capture`` and ``TestCase.run_bzr_captured``.
2832
(Martin Pool)
2833
2834
* Removed previous deprecated ``basis_knit`` parameter to the
2835
``KnitVersionedFile`` constructor. (Robert Collins)
2836
2837
* Special purpose method ``TestCase.run_bzr_decode`` is moved to the test_non_ascii
2838
class that needs it.
2839
(Martin Pool)
2840
2841
* The class ``bzrlib.repofmt.knitrepo.KnitRepository3`` has been folded into
2842
``KnitRepository`` by parameters to the constructor. (Robert Collins)
2843
2844
* The ``VersionedFile`` interface now allows content checks to be bypassed
2845
by supplying check_content=False. This saves nearly 30% of the minimum
2846
cost to store a version of a file. (Robert Collins)
2847
2848
* Tree's with bad state such as files with no length or sha will no longer
2849
be silently accepted by the repository XML serialiser. To serialise
2850
inventories without such data, pass working=True to write_inventory.
2851
(Robert Collins)
2852
2853
* ``VersionedFile.fix_parents`` has been removed as a harmful API.
2854
``VersionedFile.join`` will no longer accept different parents on either
2855
side of a join - it will either ignore them, or error, depending on the
2856
implementation. See notes when upgrading for more information.
2857
(Robert Collins)
2858
2859
INTERNALS:
2860
2861
* ``bzrlib.transport.Transport.put_file`` now returns the number of bytes
2862
put by the method call, to allow avoiding stat-after-write or
2863
housekeeping in callers. (Robert Collins)
2864
2865
* ``bzrlib.xml_serializer.Serializer`` is now responsible for checking that
2866
mandatory attributes are present on serialisation and deserialisation.
2867
This fixes some holes in API usage and allows better separation between
2868
physical storage and object serialisation. (Robert Collins)
2869
2870
* New class ``bzrlib.errors.InternalBzrError`` which is just a convenient
2871
shorthand for deriving from BzrError and setting internal_error = True.
2872
(Robert Collins)
2873
2874
* New method ``bzrlib.mutabletree.update_to_one_parent_via_delta`` for
2875
moving the state of a parent tree to a new version via a delta rather than
2876
a complete replacement tree. (Robert Collins)
2877
2878
* New method ``bzrlib.osutils.minimum_path_selection`` useful for removing
2879
duplication from user input, when a user mentions both a path and an item
2880
contained within that path. (Robert Collins)
2881
2882
* New method ``bzrlib.repository.Repository.is_write_locked`` useful for
2883
determining if a repository is write locked. (Robert Collins)
2884
2885
* New method on ``bzrlib.tree.Tree`` ``path_content_summary`` provides a
2886
tuple containing the key information about a path for commit processing
2887
to complete. (Robert Collins)
2888
2889
* New method on xml serialisers, write_inventory_to_lines, which matches the
2890
API used by knits for adding content. (Robert Collins)
2891
2892
* New module ``bzrlib.bisect_multi`` with generic multiple-bisection-at-once
2893
logic, currently only available for byte-based lookup
2894
(``bisect_multi_bytes``). (Robert Collins)
2895
2896
* New helper ``bzrlib.tuned_gzip.bytes_to_gzip`` which takes a byte string
2897
and returns a gzipped version of the same. This is used to avoid a bunch
2898
of api friction during adding of knit hunks. (Robert Collins)
2899
2900
* New parameter on ``bzrlib.transport.Transport.readv``
2901
``adjust_for_latency`` which changes readv from returning strictly the
2902
requested data to inserted return larger ranges and in forward read order
2903
to reduce the effect of network latency. (Robert Collins)
2904
2905
* New parameter yield_parents on ``Inventory.iter_entries_by_dir`` which
2906
causes the parents of a selected id to be returned recursively, so all the
2907
paths from the root down to each element of selected_file_ids are
2908
returned. (Robert Collins)
2909
2910
* Knit joining has been enhanced to support plain to annotated conversion
2911
and annotated to plain conversion. (Ian Clatworthy)
2912
2913
* The CommitBuilder method ``record_entry_contents`` now returns summary
2914
information about the effect of the commit on the repository. This tuple
2915
contains an inventory delta item if the entry changed from the basis, and a
2916
boolean indicating whether a new file graph node was recorded.
2917
(Robert Collins)
2918
2919
* The python path used in the Makefile can now be overridden.
2920
(Andrew Bennetts, Ian Clatworthy)
2921
2922
TESTING:
2923
2924
* New transport implementation ``trace+`` which is useful for testing,
2925
logging activity taken to its _activity attribute. (Robert Collins)
2926
2927
* When running bzr commands within the test suite, internal exceptions are
2928
not caught and reported in the usual way, but rather allowed to propagate
2929
up and be visible to the test suite. A new API ``run_bzr_catch_user_errors``
2930
makes this behavior available to other users.
2931
(Martin Pool)
2932
2933
* New method ``TestCase.call_catch_warnings`` for testing methods that
2934
raises a Python warning. (Martin Pool)
2935
2936
2937
bzr 0.91 2007-09-26
2938
-------------------
2939
2940
BUG FIXES:
2941
2942
* Print a warning instead of aborting the ``python setup.py install``
2943
process if building of a C extension is not possible.
2944
(Lukáš Lalinský, Alexander Belchenko)
2945
2946
* Fix commit ordering in corner case (Aaron Bentley, #94975)
2947
2948
* Fix ''bzr info bzr://host/'' and other operations on ''bzr://' URLs with
2949
an implicit port. We were incorrectly raising PathNotChild due to
2950
inconsistent treatment of the ''_port'' attribute on the Transport object.
2951
(Andrew Bennetts, #133965)
2952
2953
* Make RemoteRepository.sprout cope gracefully with servers that don't
2954
support the ``Repository.tarball`` request.
2955
(Andrew Bennetts)
2956
2957
2958
bzr 0.91rc2 2007-09-11
2959
----------------------
2960
2961
* Replaced incorrect tarball for previous release; a debug statement was left
2962
in bzrlib/remote.py.
2963
2964
2965
bzr 0.91rc1 2007-09-11
2966
----------------------
2967
2968
CHANGES:
2969
2970
* The default branch and repository format has changed to
2971
``dirstate-tags``, so tag commands are active by default.
2972
This format is compatible with Bazaar 0.15 and later.
2973
This incidentally fixes bug #126141.
2974
(Martin Pool)
2975
2976
* ``--quiet`` or ``-q`` is no longer a global option. If present, it
2977
must now appear after the command name. Scripts doing things like
2978
``bzr -q missing`` need to be rewritten as ``bzr missing -q``.
2979
(Ian Clatworthy)
2980
2981
FEATURES:
2982
2983
* New option ``--author`` in ``bzr commit`` to specify the author of the
2984
change, if it's different from the committer. ``bzr log`` and
2985
``bzr annotate`` display the author instead of the committer.
2986
(Lukáš Lalinský)
2987
2988
* In addition to global options and command specific options, a set of
2989
standard options are now supported. Standard options are legal for
2990
all commands. The initial set of standard options are:
2991
2992
* ``--help`` or ``-h`` - display help message
2993
* ``--verbose`` or ``-v`` - display additional information
2994
* ``--quiet`` or ``-q`` - only output warnings and errors.
2995
2996
Unlike global options, standard options can be used in aliases and
2997
may have command-specific help. (Ian Clatworthy)
2998
2999
* Verbosity level processing has now been unified. If ``--verbose``
3000
or ``-v`` is specified on the command line multiple times, the
3001
verbosity level is made positive the first time then increased.
3002
If ``--quiet`` or ``-q`` is specified on the command line
3003
multiple times, the verbosity level is made negative the first
3004
time then decreased. To get the default verbosity level of zero,
3005
either specify none of the above , ``--no-verbose`` or ``--no-quiet``.
3006
Note that most commands currently ignore the magnitude of the
3007
verbosity level but do respect *quiet vs normal vs verbose* when
3008
generating output. (Ian Clatworthy)
3009
3010
* ``Branch.hooks`` now supports ``pre_commit`` hook. The hook's signature
3011
is documented in BranchHooks constructor. (Nam T. Nguyen, #102747)
3012
3013
* New ``Repository.stream_knit_data_for_revisions`` request added to the
3014
network protocol for greatly reduced roundtrips when retrieving a set of
3015
revisions. (Andrew Bennetts)
3016
3017
BUG FIXES:
3018
3019
* ``bzr plugins`` now lists the version number for each plugin in square
3020
brackets after the path. (Robert Collins, #125421)
3021
3022
* Pushing, pulling and branching branches with subtree references was not
3023
copying the subtree weave, preventing the file graph from being accessed
3024
and causing errors in commits in clones. (Robert Collins)
3025
3026
* Suppress warning "integer argument expected, got float" from Paramiko,
3027
which sometimes caused false test failures. (Martin Pool)
3028
3029
* Fix bug in bundle 4 that could cause attempts to write data to wrong
3030
versionedfile. (Aaron Bentley)
3031
3032
* Diffs generated using "diff -p" no longer break the patch parser.
3033
(Aaron Bentley)
3034
3035
* get_transport treats an empty possible_transports list the same as a non-
3036
empty one. (Aaron Bentley)
3037
3038
* patch verification for merge directives is reactivated, and works with
3039
CRLF and CR files. (Aaron Bentley)
3040
3041
* Accept ..\ as a path in revision specifiers. This fixes for example
3042
"-r branch:..\other-branch" on Windows. (Lukáš Lalinský)
3043
3044
* ``BZR_PLUGIN_PATH`` may now contain trailing slashes.
3045
(Blake Winton, #129299)
3046
3047
* man page no longer lists hidden options (#131667, Aaron Bentley)
3048
3049
* ``uncommit --help`` now explains the -r option adequately. (Daniel
3050
Watkins, #106726)
3051
3052
* Error messages are now better formatted with parameters (such as
3053
filenames) quoted when necessary. This avoids confusion when directory
3054
names ending in a '.' at the end of messages were confused with a
3055
full stop that may or not have been there. (Daniel Watkins, #129791)
3056
3057
* Fix ``status FILE -r X..Y``. (Lukáš Lalinský)
3058
3059
* If a particular command is an alias, ``help`` will show the alias
3060
instead of claiming there is no help for said alias. (Daniel Watkins,
3061
#133548)
3062
3063
* TreeTransform-based operations, like pull, merge, revert, and branch,
3064
now roll back if they encounter an error. (Aaron Bentley, #67699)
3065
3066
* ``bzr commit`` now exits cleanly if a character unsupported by the
3067
current encoding is used in the commit message. (Daniel Watkins,
3068
#116143)
3069
3070
* bzr send uses default values for ranges when only half of an elipsis
3071
is specified ("-r..5" or "-r5.."). (#61685, Aaron Bentley)
3072
3073
* Avoid trouble when Windows ssh calls itself 'plink' but no plink
3074
binary is present. (Martin Albisetti, #107155)
3075
3076
* ``bzr remove`` should remove clean subtrees. Now it will remove (without
3077
needing ``--force``) subtrees that contain no files with text changes or
3078
modified files. With ``--force`` it removes the subtree regardless of
3079
text changes or unknown files. Directories with renames in or out (but
3080
not changed otherwise) will now be removed without needing ``--force``.
3081
Unknown ignored files will be deleted without needing ``--force``.
3082
(Marius Kruger, #111665)
3083
3084
* When two plugins conflict, the source of both the losing and now the
3085
winning definition is shown. (Konstantin Mikhaylov, #5454)
3086
3087
* When committing to a branch, the location being committed to is
3088
displayed. (Daniel Watkins, #52479)
3089
3090
* ``bzr --version`` takes care about encoding of stdout, especially
3091
when output is redirected. (Alexander Belchenko, #131100)
3092
3093
* Prompt for an ftp password if none is provided.
3094
(Vincent Ladeuil, #137044)
3095
3096
* Reuse bound branch associated transport to avoid multiple
3097
connections.
3098
(Vincent Ladeuil, #128076, #131396)
3099
3100
* Overwrite conflicting tags by ``push`` and ``pull`` if the
3101
``--overwrite`` option is specified. (Lukáš Lalinský, #93947)
3102
3103
* In checkouts, tags are copied into the master branch when created,
3104
changed or deleted, and are copied into the checkout when it is
3105
updated. (Martin Pool, #93856, #93860)
3106
3107
* Print a warning instead of aborting the ``python setup.py install``
3108
process if building of a C extension is not possible.
3109
(Lukáš Lalinský, Alexander Belchenko)
3110
3111
IMPROVEMENTS:
3112
3113
* Add the option "--show-diff" to the commit command in order to display
3114
the diff during the commit log creation. (Goffredo Baroncelli)
3115
3116
* ``pull`` and ``merge`` are much faster at installing bundle format 4.
3117
(Aaron Bentley)
3118
3119
* ``pull -v`` no longer includes deltas, making it much faster.
3120
(Aaron Bentley)
3121
3122
* ``send`` now sends the directive as an attachment by default.
3123
(Aaron Bentley, Lukáš Lalinský, Alexander Belchenko)
3124
3125
* Documentation updates (Martin Albisetti)
3126
3127
* Help on debug flags is now included in ``help global-options``.
3128
(Daniel Watkins, #124853)
3129
3130
* Parameters passed on the command line are checked to ensure they are
3131
supported by the encoding in use. (Daniel Watkins)
3132
3133
* The compression used within the bzr repository has changed from zlib
3134
level 9 to the zlib default level. This improves commit performance with
3135
only a small increase in space used (and in some cases a reduction in
3136
space). (Robert Collins)
3137
3138
* Initial commit no longer SHAs files twice and now reuses the path
3139
rather than looking it up again, making it faster.
3140
(Ian Clatworthy)
3141
3142
* New option ``-c``/``--change`` for ``diff`` and ``status`` to show
3143
changes in one revision. (Lukáš Lalinský)
3144
3145
* If versioned files match a given ignore pattern, a warning is now
3146
given. (Daniel Watkins, #48623)
3147
3148
* ``bzr status`` now has -S as a short name for --short and -V as a
3149
short name for --versioned. These have been added to assist users
3150
migrating from Subversion: ``bzr status -SV`` is now like
3151
``svn status -q``. (Daniel Watkins, #115990)
3152
3153
* Added C implementation of ``PatienceSequenceMatcher``, which is about
3154
10x faster than the Python version. This speeds up commands that
3155
need file diffing, such as ``bzr commit`` or ``bzr diff``.
3156
(Lukáš Lalinský)
3157
3158
* HACKING has been extended with a large section on core developer tasks.
3159
(Ian Clatworthy)
3160
3161
* Add ``branches`` and ``standalone-trees`` as online help topics and
3162
include them as Concepts within the User Reference.
3163
(Paul Moore, Ian Clatworthy)
3164
3165
* ``check`` can detect versionedfile parent references that are
3166
inconsistent with revision and inventory info, and ``reconcile`` can fix
3167
them. These faulty references were generated by 0.8-era releases,
3168
so repositories which were manipulated by old bzrs should be
3169
checked, and possibly reconciled ASAP. (Aaron Bentley, Andrew Bennetts)
3170
3171
API BREAKS:
3172
3173
* ``Branch.append_revision`` is removed altogether; please use
3174
``Branch.set_last_revision_info`` instead. (Martin Pool)
3175
3176
* CommitBuilder now advertises itself as requiring the root entry to be
3177
supplied. This only affects foreign repository implementations which reuse
3178
CommitBuilder directly and have changed record_entry_contents to require
3179
that the root not be supplied. This should be precisely zero plugins
3180
affected. (Robert Collins)
3181
3182
* The ``add_lines`` methods on ``VersionedFile`` implementations has changed
3183
its return value to include the sha1 and length of the inserted text. This
3184
allows the avoidance of double-sha1 calculations during commit.
3185
(Robert Collins)
3186
3187
* ``Transport.should_cache`` has been removed. It was not called in the
3188
previous release. (Martin Pool)
3189
3190
TESTING:
3191
3192
* Tests may now raise TestNotApplicable to indicate they shouldn't be
3193
run in a particular scenario. (Martin Pool)
3194
3195
* New function multiply_tests_from_modules to give a simpler interface
3196
to test parameterization. (Martin Pool, Robert Collins)
3197
3198
* ``Transport.should_cache`` has been removed. It was not called in the
3199
previous release. (Martin Pool)
3200
3201
* NULL_REVISION is returned to indicate the null revision, not None.
3202
(Aaron Bentley)
3203
3204
* Use UTF-8 encoded StringIO for log tests to avoid failures on
3205
non-ASCII committer names. (Lukáš Lalinský)
3206
3207
INTERNALS:
3208
3209
* ``bzrlib.plugin.all_plugins`` has been deprecated in favour of
3210
``bzrlib.plugin.plugins()`` which returns PlugIn objects that provide
3211
useful functionality for determining the path of a plugin, its tests, and
3212
its version information. (Robert Collins)
3213
3214
* Add the option user_encoding to the function 'show_diff_trees()'
3215
in order to move the user encoding at the UI level. (Goffredo Baroncelli)
3216
3217
* Add the function make_commit_message_template_encoded() and the function
3218
edit_commit_message_encoded() which handle encoded strings.
3219
This is done in order to mix the commit messages (which is a unicode
3220
string), and the diff which is a raw string. (Goffredo Baroncelli)
3221
3222
* CommitBuilder now defaults to using add_lines_with_ghosts, reducing
3223
overhead on non-weave repositories which don't require all parents to be
3224
present. (Robert Collins)
3225
3226
* Deprecated method ``find_previous_heads`` on
3227
``bzrlib.inventory.InventoryEntry``. This has been superseded by the use
3228
of ``parent_candidates`` and a separate heads check via the repository
3229
API. (Robert Collins)
3230
3231
* New trace function ``mutter_callsite`` will print out a subset of the
3232
stack to the log, which can be useful for gathering debug details.
3233
(Robert Collins)
3234
3235
* ``bzrlib.pack.ContainerWriter`` now tracks how many records have been
3236
added via a public attribute records_written. (Robert Collins)
3237
3238
* New method ``bzrlib.transport.Transport.get_recommended_page_size``.
3239
This provides a hint to users of transports as to the reasonable
3240
minimum data to read. In principle this can take latency and
3241
bandwidth into account on a per-connection basis, but for now it
3242
just has hard coded values based on the url. (e.g. http:// has a large
3243
page size, file:// has a small one.) (Robert Collins)
3244
3245
* New method on ``bzrlib.transport.Transport`` ``open_write_stream`` allows
3246
incremental addition of data to a file without requiring that all the
3247
data be buffered in memory. (Robert Collins)
3248
3249
* New methods on ``bzrlib.knit.KnitVersionedFile``:
3250
``get_data_stream(versions)``, ``insert_data_stream(stream)`` and
3251
``get_format_signature()``. These provide some infrastructure for
3252
efficiently streaming the knit data for a set of versions over the smart
3253
protocol.
3254
3255
* Knits with no annotation cache still produce correct annotations.
3256
(Aaron Bentley)
3257
3258
* Three new methods have been added to ``bzrlib.trace``:
3259
``set_verbosity_level``, ``get_verbosity_level`` and ``is_verbose``.
3260
``set_verbosity_level`` expects a numeric value: negative for quiet,
3261
zero for normal, positive for verbose. The size of the number can be
3262
used to determine just how quiet or verbose the application should be.
3263
The existing ``be_quiet`` and ``is_quiet`` routines have been
3264
integrated into this new scheme. (Ian Clatworthy)
3265
3266
* Options can now be delcared with a ``custom_callback`` parameter. If
3267
set, this routine is called after the option is processed. This feature
3268
is now used by the standard options ``verbose`` and ``quiet`` so that
3269
setting one implicitly resets the other. (Ian Clatworthy)
3270
3271
* Rather than declaring a new option from scratch in order to provide
3272
custom help, a centrally registered option can be decorated using the
3273
new ``bzrlib.Option.custom_help`` routine. In particular, this routine
3274
is useful when declaring better help for the ``verbose`` and ``quiet``
3275
standard options as the base definition of these is now more complex
3276
than before thanks to their use of a custom callback. (Ian Clatworthy)
3277
3278
* Tree._iter_changes(specific_file=[]) now iterates through no files,
3279
instead of iterating through all files. None is used to iterate through
3280
all files. (Aaron Bentley)
3281
3282
* WorkingTree.revert() now accepts None to revert all files. The use of
3283
[] to revert all files is deprecated. (Aaron Bentley)

-------------------
3288
3289
IMPROVEMENTS:
3290
3291
* Documentation is now organized into multiple directories with a level
3292
added for different languages or locales. Added the Mini Tutorial
3293
and Quick Start Summary (en) documents from the Wiki, improving the
3294
content and readability of the former. Formatted NEWS as Release Notes
3295
complete with a Table of Conents, one heading per release. Moved the
3296
Developer Guide into the main document catalog and provided a link
3297
from the developer document catalog back to the main one.

3300
3301
API CHANGES:
3302
3303
* The static convenience method ``BzrDir.create_repository``
3304
is deprecated. Callers should instead create a ``BzrDir`` instance
3305
and call ``create_repository`` on that. (Martin Pool)
3306
3307
3308
bzr 0.90rc1 2007-08-14
3309
----------------------
3310
3311
BUGFIXES:
3312
3313
* ``bzr init`` should connect to the remote location one time only. We
3314
have been connecting several times because we forget to pass around the
3315
Transport object. This modifies ``BzrDir.create_branch_convenience``,
3316
so that we can give it the Transport we already have.
3317
(John Arbash Meinel, Vincent Ladeuil, #111702)
3318
3319
* Get rid of sftp connection cache (get rid of the FTP one too).
3320
(Vincent Ladeuil, #43731)
3321
3322
* bzr branch {local|remote} remote don't try to create a working tree
3323
anymore.
3324
(Vincent Ladeuil, #112173)
3325
3326
* All identified multiple connections for a single bzr command have been
3327
fixed. See bzrlib/tests/commands directory.
3328
(Vincent Ladeuil)
3329
3330
* ``bzr rm`` now does not insist on ``--force`` to delete files that
3331
have been renamed but not otherwise modified. (Marius Kruger,
3332
#111664)
3333
3334
* ``bzr selftest --bench`` no longer emits deprecation warnings
3335
(Lukáš Lalinský)
3336
3337
* ``bzr status`` now honours FILE parameters for conflict lists
3338
(Aaron Bentley, #127606)
3339
3340
* ``bzr checkout`` now honours -r when reconstituting a working tree.
3341
It also honours -r 0. (Aaron Bentley, #127708)
3342
3343
* ``bzr add *`` no more fails on Windows if working tree contains
3344
non-ascii file names. (Kuno Meyer, #127361)
3345
3346
* allow ``easy_install bzr`` runs without fatal errors.
3347
(Alexander Belchenko, #125521)
3348
3349
* Graph._filter_candidate_lca does not raise KeyError if a candidate
3350
is eliminated just before it would normally be examined. (Aaron Bentley)
3351
3352
* SMTP connection failures produce a nice message, not a traceback.
3353
(Aaron Bentley)
3354
3355
IMPROVEMENTS:
3356
3357
* Don't show "dots" progress indicators when run non-interactively, such
3358
as from cron. (Martin Pool)
3359
3360
* ``info`` now formats locations more nicely and lists "submit" and
3361
"public" branches (Aaron Bentley)
3362
3363
* New ``pack`` command that will trigger database compression within
3364
the repository (Robert Collins)
3365
3366
* Implement ``_KnitIndex._load_data`` in a pyrex extension. The pyrex
3367
version is approximately 2-3x faster at parsing a ``.kndx`` file.
3368
Which yields a measurable improvement for commands which have to
3369
read from the repository, such as a 1s => 0.75s improvement in
3370
``bzr diff`` when there are changes to be shown. (John Arbash Meinel)
3371
3372
* Merge is now faster. Depending on the scenario, it can be more than 2x
3373
faster. (Aaron Bentley)
3374
3375
* Give a clearer warning, and allow ``python setup.py install`` to
3376
succeed even if pyrex is not available.
3377
(John Arbash Meinel)
3378
3379
* ``DirState._read_dirblocks`` now has an optional Pyrex
3380
implementation. This improves the speed of any command that has to
3381
read the entire DirState. (``diff``, ``status``, etc, improve by
3382
about 10%).
3383
``bisect_dirblocks`` has also been improved, which helps all
3384
``_get_entry`` type calls (whenever we are searching for a
3385
particular entry in the in-memory DirState).
3386
(John Arbash Meinel)
3387
3388
* ``bzr pull`` and ``bzr push`` no longer do a complete walk of the
3389
branch revision history for ui display unless -v is supplied.
3390
(Robert Collins)
3391
3392
* ``bzr log -rA..B`` output shifted to the left margin if the log only
3393
contains merge revisions. (Kent Gibson)
3394
3395
* The ``plugins`` command is now public with improved help.
3396
(Ian Clatworthy)
3397
3398
* New bundle and merge directive formats are faster to generate, and
3399
3400
* Annotate merge now works when there are local changes. (Aaron Bentley)
3401
3402
* Commit now only shows the progress in terms of directories instead of
3403
entries. (Ian Clatworthy)
3404
3405
* Fix ``KnitRepository.get_revision_graph`` to not request the graph 2
3406
times. This makes ``get_revision_graph`` 2x faster. (John Arbash
3407
Meinel)
3408
3409
* Fix ``VersionedFile.get_graph()`` to avoid using
3410
``set.difference_update(other)``, which has bad scaling when
3411
``other`` is large. This improves ``VF.get_graph([version_id])`` for
3412
a 12.5k graph from 2.9s down to 200ms. (John Arbash Meinel)
3413
3414
* The ``--lsprof-file`` option now generates output for KCacheGrind if
3415
the file starts with ``callgrind.out``. This matches the default file
3416
filtering done by KCacheGrind's Open Dialog. (Ian Clatworthy)
3417
3418
* Fix ``bzr update`` to avoid an unnecessary
3419
``branch.get_master_branch`` call, which avoids 1 extra connection
3420
to the remote server. (Partial fix for #128076, John Arbash Meinel)
3421
3422
* Log errors from the smart server in the trace file, to make debugging
3423
test failures (and live failures!) easier. (Andrew Bennetts)
3424
3425
* The HTML version of the man page has been superceded by a more
3426
comprehensive manual called the Bazaar User Reference. This manual
3427
is completed generated from the online help topics. As part of this
3428
change, limited reStructuredText is now explicitly supported in help
3429
topics and command help with 'unnatural' markup being removed prior
3430
to display by the online help or inclusion in the man page.
3431
(Ian Clatworthy)
3432
3433
* HTML documentation now use files extension ``*.html``
3434
(Alexander Belchenko)
3435
3436
* The cache of ignore definitions is now cleared in WorkingTree.unlock()
3437
so that changes to .bzrignore aren't missed. (#129694, Daniel Watkins)
3438
3439
* ``bzr selftest --strict`` fails if there are any missing features or
3440
expected test failures. (Daniel Watkins, #111914)
3441
3442
* Link to registration survey added to README. (Ian Clatworthy)
3443
3444
* Windows standalone installer show link to registration survey
3445
when installation finished. (Alexander Belchenko)
3446
3447
LIBRARY API BREAKS:
3448
3449
* Deprecated dictionary ``bzrlib.option.SHORT_OPTIONS`` removed.
3450
Options are now required to provide a help string and it must
3451
comply with the style guide by being one or more sentences with an
3452
initial capital and final period. (Martin Pool)
3453
3454
* KnitIndex.get_parents now returns tuples. (Robert Collins)
3455
3456
* Ancient unused ``Repository.text_store`` attribute has been removed.
3457
(Robert Collins)
3458
3459
* The ``bzrlib.pack`` interface has changed to use tuples of bytestrings
3460
rather than just bytestrings, making it easier to represent multiple
3461
element names. As this interface was not used by any internal facilities
3462
since it was introduced in 0.18 no API compatibility is being preserved.
3463
The serialised form of these packs is identical with 0.18 when a single
3464
element tuple is in use. (Robert Collins)
3465
3466
INTERNALS:
3467
3468
* merge now uses ``iter_changes`` to calculate changes, which makes room for
3469
future performance increases. It is also more consistent with other
3470
operations that perform comparisons, and reduces reliance on
3471
Tree.inventory. (Aaron Bentley)
3472
3473
* Refactoring of transport classes connected to a remote server.
3474
ConnectedTransport is a new class that serves as a basis for all
3475
transports needing to connect to a remote server. transport.split_url
3476
have been deprecated, use the static method on the object instead. URL
3477
tests have been refactored too.
3478
(Vincent Ladeuil)
3479
3480
* Better connection sharing for ConnectedTransport objects.
3481
transport.get_transport() now accepts a 'possible_transports' parameter.
3482
If a newly requested transport can share a connection with one of the
3483
list, it will.
3484
(Vincent Ladeuil)
3485
3486
* Most functions now accept ``bzrlib.revision.NULL_REVISION`` to indicate
3487
the null revision, and consider using ``None`` for this purpose
3488
deprecated. (Aaron Bentley)
3489
3490
* New ``index`` module with abstract index functionality. This will be
3491
used during the planned changes in the repository layer. Currently the
3492
index layer provides a graph aware immutable index, a builder for the
3493
same index type to allow creating them, and finally a composer for
3494
such indices to allow the use of many indices in a single query. The
3495
index performance is not optimised, however the API is stable to allow
3496
development on top of the index. (Robert Collins)
3497
3498
* ``bzrlib.dirstate.cmp_by_dirs`` can be used to compare two paths by
3499
their directory sections. This is equivalent to comparing
3500
``path.split('/')``, only without having to split the paths.
3501
This has a Pyrex implementation available.
3502
(John Arbash Meinel)
3503
3504
* New transport decorator 'unlistable+' which disables the list_dir
3505
functionality for testing.
3506
3507
* Deprecated ``change_entry`` in transform.py. (Ian Clatworthy)
3508
3509
* RevisionTree.get_weave is now deprecated. Tree.plan_merge is now used
3510
for performing annotate-merge. (Aaron Bentley)
3511
3512
* New EmailMessage class to create email messages. (Adeodato Simó)
3513
3514
* Unused functions on the private interface KnitIndex have been removed.
3515
(Robert Collins)
3516
3517
* New ``knit.KnitGraphIndex`` which provides a ``KnitIndex`` layered on top
3518
of a ``index.GraphIndex``. (Robert Collins)
3519
3520
* New ``knit.KnitVersionedFile.iter_parents`` method that allows querying
3521
the parents of many knit nodes at once, reducing round trips to the
3522
underlying index. (Robert Collins)
3523
3524
* Graph now has an is_ancestor method, various bits use it.
3525
(Aaron Bentley)
3526
3527
* The ``-Dhpss`` flag now includes timing information. As well as
3528
logging when a new connection is opened. (John Arbash Meinel)
3529
3530
* ``bzrlib.pack.ContainerWriter`` now returns an offset, length tuple to
3531
callers when inserting data, allowing generation of readv style access
3532
during pack creation, without needing a separate pass across the output
3533
pack to gather such details. (Robert Collins)
3534
3535
* ``bzrlib.pack.make_readv_reader`` allows readv based access to pack
3536
files that are stored on a transport. (Robert Collins)
3537
3538
* New ``Repository.has_same_location`` method that reports if two
3539
repository objects refer to the same repository (although with some risk
3540
of false negatives). (Andrew Bennetts)
3541
3542
* InterTree.compare now passes require_versioned on correctly.
3543
(Marius Kruger)
3544
3545
* New methods on Repository - ``start_write_group``,
3546
``commit_write_group``, ``abort_write_group`` and ``is_in_write_group`` -
3547
which provide a clean hook point for transactional Repositories - ones
3548
where all the data for a fetch or commit needs to be made atomically
3549
available in one step. This allows the write lock to remain while making
3550
a series of data insertions. (e.g. data conversion). (Robert Collins)
3551
3552
* In ``bzrlib.knit`` the internal interface has been altered to use
3553
3-tuples (index, pos, length) rather than two-tuples (pos, length) to
3554
describe where data in a knit is, allowing knits to be split into
3555
many files. (Robert Collins)
3556
3557
* ``bzrlib.knit._KnitData`` split into cache management and physical access
3558
with two access classes - ``_PackAccess`` and ``_KnitAccess`` defined.
3559
The former provides access into a .pack file, and the latter provides the
3560
current production repository form of .knit files. (Robert Collins)
3561
3562
TESTING:
3563
3564
* Remove selftest ``--clean-output``, ``--numbered-dirs`` and
3565
``--keep-output`` options, which are obsolete now that tests
3566
are done within directories in $TMPDIR. (Martin Pool)
3567
3568
* The SSH_AUTH_SOCK environment variable is now reset to avoid
3569
interaction with any running ssh agents. (Jelmer Vernooij, #125955)
3570
3571
* run_bzr_subprocess handles parameters the same way as run_bzr:
3572
either a string or a list of strings should be passed as the first
3573
parameter. Varargs-style parameters are deprecated. (Aaron Bentley)

BUGFIXES:
3588
3589
* Do not suppress pipe errors, etc. in non-display commands
3590
(Alexander Belchenko, #87178)
3591
3592
* Display a useful error message when the user requests to annotate
3593
a file that is not present in the specified revision.
3594
(James Westby, #122656)
3595
3596
* Commands that use status flags now have a reference to 'help
3597
status-flags'. (Daniel Watkins, #113436)
3598
3599
* Work around python-2.4.1 inhability to correctly parse the
3600
authentication header.
3601
(Vincent Ladeuil, #121889)
3602
3603
* Use exact encoding for merge directives. (Adeodato Simó, #120591)
3604
3605
* Fix tempfile permissions error in smart server tar bundling under
3606
Windows. (Martin _, #119330)
3607
3608
* Fix detection of directory entries in the inventory. (James Westby)
3609
3610
* Fix handling of http code 400: Bad Request When issuing too many ranges.
3611
(Vincent Ladeuil, #115209)
3612
3613
* Issue a CONNECT request when connecting to an https server
3614
via a proxy to enable SSL tunneling.
3615
(Vincent Ladeuil, #120678)
3616
3617
* Fix ``bzr log -r`` to support selecting merge revisions, both
3618
individually and as part of revision ranges.
3619
(Kent Gibson, #4663)
3620
3621
* Don't leave cruft behind when failing to acquire a lockdir.
3622
(Martin Pool, #109169)
3623
3624
* Don't use the '-f' strace option during tests.
3625
(Vincent Ladeuil, #102019).
3626
3627
* Warn when setting ``push_location`` to a value that will be masked by
3628
locations.conf. (Aaron Bentley, #122286)
3629
3630
* Fix commit ordering in corner case (Aaron Bentley, #94975)
3631
3632
* Make annotate behave in a non-ASCII world (Adeodato Simó).
3633
3634
IMPROVEMENTS:
3635
3636
* The --lsprof-file option now dumps a text rendering of the profiling
3637
information if the filename ends in ".txt". It will also convert the
3638
profiling information to a format suitable for KCacheGrind if the
3639
output filename ends in ".callgrind". Fixes to the lsprofcalltree
3640
conversion process by Jean Paul Calderone and Itamar were also merged.
3641
See http://ddaa.net/blog/python/lsprof-calltree. (Ian Clatworthy)
3642
3643
* ``info`` now defaults to non-verbose mode, displaying only paths and
3644
abbreviated format info. ``info -v`` displays all the information
3645
formerly displayed by ``info``. (Aaron Bentley, Adeodato Simó)
3646
3647
* ``bzr missing`` now has better option names ``--this`` and ``--other``.
3648
(Elliot Murphy)
3649
3650
* The internal ``weave-list`` command has become ``versionedfile-list``,
3651
and now lists knits as well as weaves. (Aaron Bentley)
3652
3653
* Automatic merge base selection uses a faster algorithm that chooses
3654
better bases in criss-cross merge situations (Aaron Bentley)
3655
3656
* Progress reporting in ``commit`` has been improved. The various logical
3657
stages are now reported on as follows, namely:
3658
3659
* Collecting changes [Entry x/y] - Stage n/m
3660
* Saving data locally - Stage n/m
3661
* Uploading data to master branch - Stage n/m
3662
* Updating the working tree - Stage n/m
3663
* Running post commit hooks - Stage n/m
3664
3665
If there is no master branch, the 3rd stage is omitted and the total
3666
number of stages is adjusted accordingly.
3667
3668
Each hook that is run after commit is listed with a name (as hooks
3669
can be slow it is useful feedback).
3670
(Ian Clatworthy, Robert Collins)
3671
3672
* Various operations that are now faster due to avoiding unnecessary
3673
topological sorts. (Aaron Bentley)
3674
3675
* Make merge directives robust against broken bundles. (Aaron Bentley)
3676
3677
* The lsprof filename note is emitted via trace.note(), not standard
3678
output. (Aaron Bentley)
3679
3680
* ``bzrlib`` now exports explicit API compatibility information to assist
3681
library users and plugins. See the ``bzrlib.api`` module for details.
3682
(Robert Collins)
3683
3684
* Remove unnecessary lock probes when acquiring a lockdir.
3685
(Martin Pool)
3686
3687
* ``bzr --version`` now shows the location of the bzr log file, which
3688
is especially useful on Windows. (Martin Pool)
3689
3690
* -D now supports hooks to get debug tracing of hooks (though its currently
3691
minimal in nature). (Robert Collins)
3692
3693
* Long log format reports deltas on merge revisions.
3694
(John Arbash Meinel, Kent Gibson)
3695
3696
* Make initial push over ftp more resilient. (John Arbash Meinel)
3697
3698
* Print a summary of changes for update just like pull does.
3699
(Daniel Watkins, #113990)
3700
3701
* Add a -Dhpss option to trace smart protocol requests and responses.

``bzrlib.bzrdir.BzrDirTestProviderAdapter`` has moved to
3716
``bzrlib.tests.bzrdir_implementations``.
3717
``bzrlib.versionedfile.InterVersionedFileTestProviderAdapter`` has moved
3718
to ``bzrlib.tests.interversionedfile_implementations``.
3719
``bzrlib.store.revision.RevisionStoreTestProviderAdapter`` has moved to
3720
``bzrlib.tests.revisionstore_implementations``.
3721
``bzrlib.workingtree.WorkingTreeTestProviderAdapter`` has moved to
3722
``bzrlib.tests.workingtree_implementations``.
3723
These changes are an API break in the testing infrastructure only.
3724
(Robert Collins)
3725
3726
* Relocate TestCaseWithRepository to be more central. (Robert Collins)
3727
3728
* ``bzrlib.add.smart_add_tree`` will no longer perform glob expansion on
3729
win32. Callers of the function should do this and use the new
3730
``MutableTree.smart_add`` method instead. (Robert Collins)
3731
3732
* ``bzrlib.add.glob_expand_for_win32`` is now
3733
``bzrlib.win32utils.glob_expand``. (Robert Collins)
3734
3735
* ``bzrlib.add.FastPath`` is now private and moved to
3736
``bzrlib.mutabletree._FastPath``. (Robert Collins, Martin Pool)
3737
3738
* ``LockDir.wait`` removed. (Martin Pool)
3739
3740
* The ``SmartServer`` hooks API has changed for the ``server_started`` and
3741
``server_stopped`` hooks. The first parameter is now an iterable of
3742
backing URLs rather than a single URL. This is to reflect that many
3743
URLs may map to the external URL of the server. E.g. the server interally
3744
may have a chrooted URL but also the local file:// URL will be at the
3745
same location. (Robert Collins)
3746
3747
INTERNALS:
3748
3749
* New SMTPConnection class to unify email handling. (Adeodato Simó)
3750
3751
* Fix documentation of BzrError. (Adeodato Simó)
3752
3753
* Make BzrBadParameter an internal error. (Adeodato Simó)
3754
3755
* Remove use of 'assert False' to raise an exception unconditionally.
3756
(Martin Pool)
3757
3758
* Give a cleaner error when failing to decode knit index entry.
3759
(Martin Pool)
3760
3761
* TreeConfig would mistakenly search the top level when asked for options
3762
from a section. It now respects the section argument and only
3763
searches the specified section. (James Westby)
3764
3765
* Improve ``make api-docs`` output. (John Arbash Meinel)
3766
3767
* Use os.lstat rather than os.stat for osutils.make_readonly and
3768
osutils.make_writeable. This makes the difftools plugin more
3769
robust when dangling symlinks are found. (Elliot Murphy)
3770
3771
* New ``-Dlock`` option to log (to ~/.bzr.log) information on when
3772
lockdirs are taken or released. (Martin Pool)
3773
3774
* ``bzrlib`` Hooks are now nameable using ``Hooks.name_hook``. This
3775
allows a nicer UI when hooks are running as the current hook can
3776
be displayed. (Robert Collins)
3777
3778
* ``Transport.get`` has had its interface made more clear for ease of use.
3779
Retrieval of a directory must now fail with either 'PathError' at open
3780
time, or raise 'ReadError' on a read. (Robert Collins)
3781
3782
* New method ``_maybe_expand_globs`` on the ``Command`` class for
3783
dealing with unexpanded glob lists - e.g. on the win32 platform. This
3784
was moved from ``bzrlib.add._prepare_file_list``. (Robert Collins)
3785
3786
* ``bzrlib.add.smart_add`` and ``bzrlib.add.smart_add_tree`` are now
3787
deprecated in favour of ``MutableTree.smart_add``. (Robert Collins,
3788
Martin Pool)
3789
3790
* New method ``external_url`` on Transport for obtaining the url to
3791
hand to external processes. (Robert Collins)
3792
3793
* Teach windows installers to build pyrex/C extensions.
3794
(Alexander Belchenko)
3795
3796
TESTING:
3797
3798
* Removed the ``--keep-output`` option from selftest and clean up test
3799
directories as they're used. This reduces the IO load from
3800
running the test suite and cuts the time by about half.
3801
(Andrew Bennetts, Martin Pool)
3802
3803
* Add scenarios as a public attribute on the TestAdapter classes to allow
3804
modification of the generated scenarios before adaption and easier
3805
testing. (Robert Collins)
3806
3807
* New testing support class ``TestScenarioApplier`` which multiplies
3808
out a single teste by a list of supplied scenarios. (RobertCollins)
3809
3810
* Setting ``repository_to_test_repository`` on a repository_implementations
3811
test will cause it to be called during repository creation, allowing the
3812
testing of repository classes which are not based around the Format
3813
concept. For example a repository adapter can be tested in this manner,
3814
by altering the repository scenarios to include a scenario that sets this
3815
attribute during the test parameterisation in
3816
``bzrlib.tests.repository.repository_implementations``. (Robert Collins)
3817
3818
* Clean up many of the APIs for blackbox testing of Bazaar. The standard
3819
interface is now self.run_bzr. The command to run can be passed as
3820
either a list of parameters, a string containing the command line, or
3821
(deprecated) varargs parameters. (Martin Pool)
3822
3823
* The base TestCase now isolates tests from -D parameters by clearing
3824
``debug.debug_flags`` and restores it afterwards. (Robert Collins)
3825
3826
* Add a relpath parameter to get_transport methods in test framework to
3827
avoid useless cloning.

3846
NOTES WHEN UPGRADING:
3847
3848
* The kind() and is_executable() APIs on the WorkingTree interface no
3849
longer implicitly (read) locks and unlocks the tree. This *might*
3850
impact some plug-ins and tools using this part of the API. If you find
3851
an issue that may be caused by this change, please let us know,
3852
particularly the plug-in/tool maintainer. If encountered, the API
3853
fix is to surround kind() and is_executable() calls with lock_read()
3854
and unlock() like so::
3855
3856
work_tree.lock_read()
3857
try:
3858
kind = work_tree.kind(...)
3859
finally:
3860
work_tree.unlock()
3861
3862
INTERNALS:
3863
* Rework of LogFormatter API to provide beginning/end of log hooks and to
3864
encapsulate the details of the revision to be logged in a LogRevision
3865
object.
3866
In long log formats, merge revision ids are only shown when --show-ids
3867
is specified, and are labelled "revision-id:", as per mainline
3868
revisions, instead of "merged:". (Kent Gibson)
3869
3870
* New ``BranchBuilder`` API which allows the construction of particular
3871
histories quickly. Useful for testing and potentially other applications
3872
too. (Robert Collins)
3873
3874
IMPROVEMENTS:
3875
3876
* There are two new help topics, working-trees and repositories that
3877
attempt to explain these concepts. (James Westby, John Arbash Meinel,
3878
Aaron Bentley)
3879
3880
* Added ``bzr log --limit`` to report a limited number of revisions.
3881
(Kent Gibson, #3659)
3882
3883
* Revert does not try to preserve file contents that were originally
3884
produced by reverting to a historical revision. (Aaron Bentley)
3885
3886
* ``bzr log --short`` now includes ``[merge]`` for revisions which
3887
have more than one parent. This is a small improvement to help
3888
understanding what changes have occurred
3889
(John Arbash Meinel, #83887)
3890
3891
* TreeTransform avoids many renames when contructing large trees,
3892
improving speed. 3.25x speedups have been observed for construction of
3893
kernel-sized-trees, and checkouts are 1.28x faster. (Aaron Bentley)
3894
3895
* Commit on large trees is now faster. In my environment, a commit of
3896
a small change to the Mozilla tree (55k files) has dropped from
3897
66 seconds to 32 seconds. For a small tree of 600 files, commit of a
3898
small change is 33% faster. (Ian Clatworthy)
3899
3900
* New --create-prefix option to bzr init, like for push. (Daniel Watkins,
3901
#56322)
3902
3903
BUGFIXES:
3904
3905
* ``bzr push`` should only connect to the remote location one time.
3906
We have been connecting 3 times because we forget to pass around
3907
the Transport object. This adds ``BzrDir.clone_on_transport()``, so
3908
that we can pass in the Transport that we already have.
3909
(John Arbash Meinel, #75721)
3910
3911
* ``DirState.set_state_from_inventory()`` needs to properly order
3912
based on split paths, not just string paths.
3913
(John Arbash Meinel, #115947)
3914
3915
* Let TestUIFactoy encode the password prompt with its own stdout.
3916
(Vincent Ladeuil, #110204)
3917
3918
* pycurl should take use the range header that takes the range hint
3919
into account.
3920
(Vincent Ladeuil, #112719)
3921
3922
* WorkingTree4.get_file_sha1 no longer raises an exception when invoked
3923
on a missing file. (Aaron Bentley, #118186)
3924
3925
* WorkingTree.remove works correctly with tree references, and when pwd is
3926
not the tree root. (Aaron Bentley)
3927
3928
* Merge no longer fails when a file is renamed in one tree and deleted
3929
in the other. (Aaron Bentley, #110279)
3930
3931
* ``revision-info`` now accepts dotted revnos, doesn't require a tree,
3932
and defaults to the last revision (Matthew Fuller, #90048)
3933
3934
* Tests no longer fail when BZR_REMOTE_PATH is set in the environment.
3935
(Daniel Watkins, #111958)
3936
3937
* ``bzr branch -r revid:foo`` can be used to branch any revision in
3938
your repository. (Previously Branch6 only supported revisions in your
3939
mainline). (John Arbash Meinel, #115343)

3942
--------------------
3943
3944
BUGFIXES:
3945
3946
* Handle when you have 2 directories with similar names, but one has a
3947
hyphen. (``'abc'`` versus ``'abc-2'``). The WT4._iter_changes
3948
iterator was using direct comparison and ``'abc/a'`` sorts after
3949
``'abc-2'``, but ``('abc', 'a')`` sorts before ``('abc-2',)``.
3950
(John Arbash Meinel, #111227)
3951
3952
* Handle when someone renames a file on disk without telling bzr.
3953
Previously we would report the first file as missing, but not show
3954
the new unknown file. (John Arbash Meinel, #111288)
3955
3956
* Avoid error when running hooks after pulling into or pushing from
3957
a branch bound to a smartserver branch. (Martin Pool, #111968)
3958
3959
IMPROVEMENTS:
3960
3961
* Move developer documentation to doc/developers/. This reduces clutter in
3962
the root of the source tree and allows HACKING to be split into multiple
3963
files. (Robert Collins, Alexander Belchenko)
3964
3965
* Clean up the ``WorkingTree4._iter_changes()`` internal loops as well as
3966
``DirState.update_entry()``. This optimizes the core logic for ``bzr
3967
diff`` and ``bzr status`` significantly improving the speed of
3968
both. (John Arbash Meinel)

3971
-----------------------
3972
3973
BUGFIXES:
3974
3975
* Handle the case when you delete a file, and then rename another file
3976
on top of it. Also handle the case of ``bzr rm --keep foo``. ``bzr
3977
status`` should show the removed file and an unknown file in its
3978
place. (John Arbash Meinel, #109993)
3979
3980
* Bundles properly read and write revision properties that have an
3981
empty value. And when the value is not ASCII.
3982
(John Arbash Meinel, #109613)
3983
3984
* Fix the bzr commit message to be in text mode.
3985
(Alexander Belchenko, #110901)
3986
3987
* Also handle when you rename a file and create a file where it used
3988
to be. (John Arbash Meinel, #110256)
3989
3990
* ``WorkingTree4._iter_changes`` should not descend into unversioned
3991
directories. (John Arbash Meinel, #110399)

3994
-----------------------
3995
3996
NOTES WHEN UPGRADING:
3997
3998
* ``bzr remove`` and ``bzr rm`` will now remove the working file, if
3999
it could be recovered again.
4000
This has been done for consistency with svn and the unix rm command.
4001
The old ``remove`` behaviour has been retained in the new option
4002
``bzr remove --keep``, which will just stop versioning the file,
4003
but not delete it.
4004
``bzr remove --force`` have been added which will always delete the
4005
files.
4006
``bzr remove`` is also more verbose.
4007
(Marius Kruger, #82602)
4008
4009
IMPROVEMENTS:
4010
4011
* Merge directives can now be supplied as input to `merge` and `pull`,
4012
like bundles can. (Aaron Bentley)
4013
4014
* Sending the SIGQUIT signal to bzr, which can be done on Unix by
4015
pressing Control-Backslash, drops bzr into a debugger. Type ``'c'``
4016
to continue. This can be disabled by setting the environment variable
4017
``BZR_SIGQUIT_PDB=0``. (Martin Pool)
4018
4019
* selftest now supports --list-only to list tests instead of running
4020
them. (Ian Clatworthy)
4021
4022
* selftest now supports --exclude PATTERN (or -x PATTERN) to exclude
4023
tests with names that match that regular expression.
4024
(Ian Clatworthy, #102679)
4025
4026
* selftest now supports --randomize SEED to run tests in a random order.
4027
SEED is typically the value 'now' meaning 'use the current time'.
4028
(Ian Clatworthy, #102686)
4029
4030
* New option ``--fixes`` to commit, which stores bug fixing annotations as
4031
revision properties. Built-in support for Launchpad, Debian, Trac and
4032
Bugzilla bug trackers. (Jonathan Lange, James Henstridge, Robert Collins)
4033
4034
* New API, ``bzrlib.bugtracker.tracker_registry``, for adding support for
4035
other bug trackers to ``fixes``. (Jonathan Lange, James Henstridge,
4036
Robert Collins)
4037
4038
* ``selftest`` has new short options ``-f`` and ``-1``. (Martin
4039
Pool)
4040
4041
* ``bzrlib.tsort.MergeSorter`` optimizations. Change the inner loop
4042
into using local variables instead of going through ``self._var``.
4043
Improves the time to ``merge_sort`` a 10k revision graph by
4044
approximately 40% (~700->400ms). (John Arbash Meinel)
4045
4046
* ``make docs`` now creates a man page at ``man1/bzr.1`` fixing bug 107388.
4047
(Robert Collins)
4048
4049
* ``bzr help`` now provides cross references to other help topics using
4050
the _see_also facility on command classes. Likewise the bzr_man
4051
documentation, and the bzr.1 man page also include this information.
4052
(Robert Collins)
4053
4054
* Tags are now included in logs, that use the long log formatter.
4055
(Erik Bågfors, Alexander Belchenko)
4056
4057
* ``bzr help`` provides a clearer message when a help topic cannot be
4058
found. (Robert Collins, #107656)
4059
4060
* ``bzr help`` now accepts optional prefixes for command help. The help
4061
for all commands can now be found at ``bzr help commands/COMMANDNAME``
4062
as well as ``bzr help COMMANDNAME`` (which only works for commands
4063
where the name is not the same as a more general help topic).
4064
(Robert Collins)
4065
4066
* ``bzr help PLUGINNAME`` will now return the module docstring from the
4067
plugin PLUGINNAME. (Robert Collins, #50408)
4068
4069
* New help topic ``urlspec`` which lists the availables transports.
4070
(Goffredo Baroncelli)
4071
4072
* doc/server.txt updated to document the default bzr:// port
4073
and also update the blurb about the hpss' current status.
4074
(Robert Collins, #107125).
4075
4076
* ``bzr serve`` now listens on interface 0.0.0.0 by default, making it
4077
serve out to the local LAN (and anyone in the world that can reach the
4078
machine running ``bzr serve``. (Robert Collins, #98918)
4079
4080
* A new smart server protocol version has been added. It prefixes requests
4081
and responses with an explicit version identifier so that future protocol
4082
revisions can be dealt with gracefully. (Andrew Bennetts, Robert Collins)
4083
4084
* The bzr protocol version 2 indicates success or failure in every response
4085
without depending on particular commands encoding that consistently,
4086
allowing future client refactorings to be much more robust about error
4087
handling. (Robert Collins, Martin Pool, Andrew Bennetts)
4088
4089
* The smart protocol over HTTP client has been changed to always post to the
4090
same ``.bzr/smart`` URL under the original location when it can. This allows
4091
HTTP servers to only have to pass URLs ending in .bzr/smart to the smart
4092
server handler, and not arbitrary ``.bzr/*/smart`` URLs. (Andrew Bennetts)
4093
4094
* digest authentication is now supported for proxies and HTTP by the urllib
4095
based http implementation. Tested against Apache 2.0.55 and Squid
4096
2.6.5. Basic and digest authentication are handled coherently for HTTP
4097
and proxy: if the user is provided in the url (bzr command line for HTTP,
4098
proxy environment variables for proxies), the password is prompted for
4099
(only once). If the password is provided, it is taken into account. Once
4100
the first authentication is successful, all further authentication
4101
roundtrips are avoided by preventively setting the right authentication
4102
header(s).
4103
(Vincent Ladeuil).
4104
4105
INTERNALS:
4106
4107
* bzrlib API compatability with 0.8 has been dropped, cleaning up some
4108
code paths. (Robert Collins)
4109
4110
* Change the format of chroot urls so that they can be safely manipulated
4111
by generic url utilities without causing the resulting urls to have
4112
escaped the chroot. A side effect of this is that creating a chroot
4113
requires an explicit action using a ChrootServer.
4114
(Robert Collins, Andrew Bennetts)
4115
4116
* Deprecate ``Branch.get_root_id()`` because branches don't have root ids,
4117
rather than fixing bug #96847. (Aaron Bentley)
4118
4119
* ``WorkingTree.apply_inventory_delta`` provides a better alternative to
4120
``WorkingTree._write_inventory``. (Aaron Bentley)
4121
4122
* Convenience method ``TestCase.expectFailure`` ensures that known failures
4123
do not silently pass. (Aaron Bentley)
4124
4125
* ``Transport.local_abspath`` now raises ``NotLocalUrl`` rather than
4126
``TransportNotPossible``. (Martin Pool, Ian Clatworthy)
4127
4128
* New SmartServer hooks facility. There are two initial hooks documented
4129
in ``bzrlib.transport.smart.SmartServerHooks``. The two initial hooks allow
4130
plugins to execute code upon server startup and shutdown.
4131
(Robert Collins).
4132
4133
* SmartServer in standalone mode will now close its listening socket
4134
when it stops, rather than waiting for garbage collection. This primarily
4135
fixes test suite hangs when a test tries to connect to a shutdown server.
4136
It may also help improve behaviour when dealing with a server running
4137
on a specific port (rather than dynamically assigned ports).
4138
(Robert Collins)
4139
4140
* Move most SmartServer code into a new package, bzrlib/smart.
4141
bzrlib/transport/remote.py contains just the Transport classes that used
4142
to be in bzrlib/transport/smart.py. (Andrew Bennetts)
4143
4144
* urllib http implementation avoid roundtrips associated with
4145
401 (and 407) errors once the authentication succeeds.
4146
(Vincent Ladeuil).
4147
4148
* urlib http now supports querying the user for a proxy password if
4149
needed. Realm is shown in the prompt for both HTTP and proxy
4150
authentication when the user is required to type a password.
4151
(Vincent Ladeuil).
4152
4153
* Renamed SmartTransport (and subclasses like SmartTCPTransport) to
4154
RemoteTransport (and subclasses to RemoteTCPTransport, etc). This is more
4155
consistent with its new home in ``bzrlib/transport/remote.py``, and because
4156
it's not really a "smart" transport, just one that does file operations
4157
via remote procedure calls. (Andrew Bennetts)
4158
4159
* The ``lock_write`` method of ``LockableFiles``, ``Repository`` and
4160
``Branch`` now accept a ``token`` keyword argument, so that separate
4161
instances of those objects can share a lock if it has the right token.
4162
(Andrew Bennetts, Robert Collins)
4163
4164
* New method ``get_branch_reference`` on ``BzrDir`` allows the detection of
4165
branch references - which the smart server component needs.
4166
4167
* The Repository API ``make_working_trees`` is now permitted to return
4168
False when ``set_make_working_trees`` is not implemented - previously
4169
an unimplemented ``set_make_working_trees`` implied the result True
4170
from ``make_working_trees``. This has been changed to accomodate the
4171
smart server, where it does not make sense (at this point) to ever
4172
make working trees by default. (Robert Collins)
4173
4174
* Command objects can now declare related help topics by having _see_also
4175
set to a list of related topic. (Robert Collins)
4176
4177
* ``bzrlib.help`` now delegates to the Command class for Command specific
4178
help. (Robert Collins)
4179
4180
* New class ``TransportListRegistry``, derived from the Registry class, which
4181
simplifies tracking the available Transports. (Goffredo Baroncelli)
4182
4183
* New function ``Branch.get_revision_id_to_revno_map`` which will
4184
return a dictionary mapping revision ids to dotted revnos. Since
4185
dotted revnos are defined in the context of the branch tip, it makes
4186
sense to generate them from a ``Branch`` object.
4187
(John Arbash Meinel)
4188
4189
* Fix the 'Unprintable error' message display to use the repr of the
4190
exception that prevented printing the error because the str value
4191
for it is often not useful in debugging (e.g. KeyError('foo') has a
4192
str() of 'foo' but a repr of 'KeyError('foo')' which is much more
4193
useful. (Robert Collins)
4194
4195
* ``urlutils.normalize_url`` now unescapes unreserved characters, such as "~".
4196
(Andrew Bennetts)
4197
4198
BUGFIXES:
4199
4200
* Don't fail bundle selftest if email has 'two' embedded.
4201
(Ian Clatworthy, #98510)
4202
4203
* Remove ``--verbose`` from ``bzr bundle``. It didn't work anyway.
4204
(Robert Widhopf-Fenk, #98591)
4205
4206
* Remove ``--basis`` from the checkout/branch commands - it didn't work
4207
properly and is no longer beneficial.
4208
(Robert Collins, #53675, #43486)
4209
4210
* Don't produce encoding error when adding duplicate files.
4211
(Aaron Bentley)
4212
4213
* Fix ``bzr log <file>`` so it only logs the revisions that changed
4214
the file, and does it faster.
4215
(Kent Gibson, John Arbash Meinel, #51980, #69477)
4216
4217
* Fix ``InterDirstateTre._iter_changes`` to handle when we come across
4218
an empty versioned directory, which now has files in it.
4219
(John Arbash Meinel, #104257)
4220
4221
* Teach ``common_ancestor`` to shortcut when the tip of one branch is
4222
inside the ancestry of the other. Saves a lot of graph processing
4223
(with an ancestry of 16k revisions, ``bzr merge ../already-merged``
4224
changes from 2m10s to 13s). (John Arbash Meinel, #103757)
4225
4226
* Fix ``show_diff_trees`` to handle the case when a file is modified,
4227
and the containing directory is renamed. (The file path is different
4228
in this versus base, but it isn't marked as a rename).
4229
(John Arbash Meinel, #103870)
4230
4231
* FTP now works even when the FTP server does not support atomic rename.
4232
(Aaron Bentley, #89436)
4233
4234
* Correct handling in bundles and merge directives of timezones with
4235
that are not an integer number of hours offset from UTC. Always
4236
represent the epoch time in UTC to avoid problems with formatting
4237
earlier times on win32. (Martin Pool, Alexander Belchenko, John
4238
Arbash Meinel)
4239
4240
* Typo in the help for ``register-branch`` fixed. (Robert Collins, #96770)
4241
4242
* "dirstate" and "dirstate-tags" formats now produce branches compatible
4243
with old versions of bzr. (Aaron Bentley, #107168))
4244
4245
* Handle moving a directory when children have been added, removed,
4246
and renamed. (John Arbash Meinel, #105479)
4247
4248
* Don't preventively use basic authentication for proxy before receiving a
4249
407 error. Otherwise people willing to use other authentication schemes
4250
may expose their password in the clear (or nearly). This add one
4251
roundtrip in case basic authentication should be used, but plug the
4252
security hole.
4253
(Vincent Ladeuil)
4254
4255
* Handle http and proxy digest authentication.
4256
(Vincent Ladeuil, #94034).
4257
4258
TESTING:
4259
4260
* Added ``bzrlib.strace.strace`` which will strace a single callable and
4261
return a StraceResult object which contains just the syscalls involved
4262
in running it. (Robert Collins)
4263
4264
* New test method ``reduceLockdirTimeout`` to drop the default (ui-centric)
4265
default time down to one suitable for tests. (Andrew Bennetts)
4266
4267
* Add new ``vfs_transport_factory`` attribute on tests which provides the
4268
common vfs backing for both the readonly and readwrite transports.
4269
This allows the RemoteObject tests to back onto local disk or memory,
4270
and use the existing ``transport_server`` attribute all tests know about
4271
to be the smart server transport. This in turn allows tests to
4272
differentiate between 'transport to access the branch', and
4273
'transport which is a VFS' - which matters in Remote* tests.
4274
(Robert Collins, Andrew Bennetts)
4275
4276
* The ``make_branch_and_tree`` method for tests will now create a
4277
lightweight checkout for the tree if the ``vfs_transport_factory`` is not
4278
a LocalURLServer. (Robert Collins, Andrew Bennetts)
4279
4280
* Branch implementation tests have been audited to ensure that all urls
4281
passed to Branch APIs use proper urls, except when local-disk paths
4282
are intended. This is so that tests correctly access the test transport
4283
which is often not equivalent to local disk in Remote* tests. As part
4284
of this many tests were adjusted to remove dependencies on local disk
4285
access.
4286
(Robert Collins, Andrew Bennetts)
4287
4288
* Mark bzrlib.tests and bzrlib.tests.TestUtil as providing assertFOO helper
4289
functions by adding a ``__unittest`` global attribute. (Robert Collins,
4290
Andrew Bennetts, Martin Pool, Jonathan Lange)
4291
4292
* Refactored proxy and authentication handling to simplify the
4293
implementation of new auth schemes for both http and proxy.

CHANGES:
4312
4313
* A warning is now displayed when opening working trees in older
4314
formats, to encourage people to upgrade to WorkingTreeFormat4.
4315
(Martin Pool)
4316
4317
IMPROVEMENTS:
4318
4319
* HTTP redirections are now taken into account when a branch (or a
4320
bundle) is accessed for the first time. A message is issued at each
4321
redirection to inform the user. In the past, http redirections were
4322
silently followed for each request which significantly degraded the
4323
performances. The http redirections are not followed anymore by
4324
default, instead a RedirectRequested exception is raised. For bzrlib
4325
users needing to follow http redirections anyway,
4326
``bzrlib.transport.do_catching_redirections`` provide an easy transition
4327
path. (vila)
4328
4329
INTERNALS:
4330
4331
* Added ``ReadLock.temporary_write_lock()`` to allow upgrading an OS read
4332
lock to an OS write lock. Linux can do this without unlocking, Win32
4333
needs to unlock in between. (John Arbash Meinel)
4334
4335
* New parameter ``recommend_upgrade`` to ``BzrDir.open_workingtree``
4336
to silence (when false) warnings about opening old formats.
4337
(Martin Pool)
4338
4339
* Fix minor performance regression with bzr-0.15 on pre-dirstate
4340
trees. (We were reading the working inventory too many times).
4341
(John Arbash Meinel)
4342
4343
* Remove ``Branch.get_transaction()`` in favour of a simple cache of
4344
``revision_history``. Branch subclasses should override
4345
``_gen_revision_history`` rather than ``revision_history`` to make use of
4346
this cache, and call ``_clear_revision_history_cache`` and
4347
``_cache_revision_history`` at appropriate times. (Andrew Bennetts)
4348
4349
BUGFIXES:
4350
4351
* Take ``smtp_server`` from user config into account.
4352
(vila, #92195)
4353
4354
* Restore Unicode filename handling for versioned and unversioned files.
4355
(John Arbash Meinel, #92608)
4356
4357
* Don't fail during ``bzr commit`` if a file is marked removed, and
4358
the containing directory is auto-removed. (John Arbash Meinel, #93681)
4359
4360
* ``bzr status FILENAME`` failed on Windows because of an uncommon
4361
errno. (``ERROR_DIRECTORY == 267 != ENOTDIR``).
4362
(Wouter van Heyst, John Arbash Meinel, #90819)
4363
4364
* ``bzr checkout source`` should create a local branch in the same
4365
format as source. (John Arbash Meinel, #93854)
4366
4367
* ``bzr commit`` with a kind change was failing to update the
4368
last-changed-revision for directories. The
4369
InventoryDirectory._unchanged only looked at the ``parent_id`` and name,
4370
ignoring the fact that the kind could have changed, too.
4371
(John Arbash Meinel, #90111)
4372
4373
* ``bzr mv dir/subdir other`` was incorrectly updating files inside
4374
the directory. So that there was a chance it would break commit,
4375
etc. (John Arbash Meinel, #94037)
4376
4377
* Correctly handles mutiple permanent http redirections.

4381
-----------------------
4382
4383
NOTES WHEN UPGRADING:
4384
4385
* Release 0.15rc2 of bzr changes the ``bzr init-repo`` command to
4386
default to ``--trees`` instead of ``--no-trees``.
4387
Existing shared repositories are not affected.
4388
4389
IMPROVEMENTS:
4390
4391
* New ``merge-directive`` command to generate machine- and human-readable
4392
merge requests. (Aaron Bentley)
4393
4394
* New ``submit:`` revision specifier makes it easy to diff against the
4395
common ancestor with the submit location (Aaron Bentley)
4396
4397
* Added support for Putty's SSH implementation. (Dmitry Vasiliev)
4398
4399
* Added ``bzr status --versioned`` to report only versioned files,
4400
not unknowns. (Kent Gibson)
4401
4402
* Merge now autodetects the correct line-ending style for its conflict
4403
markers. (Aaron Bentley)
4404
4405
INTERNALS:
4406
4407
* Refactored SSH vendor registration into SSHVendorManager class.
4408
(Dmitry Vasiliev)
4409
4410
BUGFIXES:
4411
4412
* New ``--numbered-dirs`` option to ``bzr selftest`` to use
4413
numbered dirs for TestCaseInTempDir. This is default behavior
4414
on Windows. Anyone can force named dirs on Windows
4415
with ``--no-numbered-dirs``. (Alexander Belchenko)
4416
4417
* Fix ``RevisionSpec_revid`` to handle the Unicode strings passed in
4418
from the command line. (Marien Zwart, #90501)
4419
4420
* Fix ``TreeTransform._iter_changes`` when both the source and
4421
destination are missing. (Aaron Bentley, #88842)
4422
4423
* Fix commit of merges with symlinks in dirstate trees.
4424
(Marien Zwart)
4425
4426
* Switch the ``bzr init-repo`` default from --no-trees to --trees.

bzr 0.15rc1 2007-03-07
4431
-----------------------
4432
4433
SURPRISES:
4434
4435
* The default disk format has changed. Please run 'bzr upgrade' in your
4436
working trees to upgrade. This new default is compatible for network
4437
operations, but not for local operations. That is, if you have two
4438
versions of bzr installed locally, after upgrading you can only use the
4439
bzr 0.15 version. This new default does not enable tags or nested-trees
4440
as they are incompatible with bzr versions before 0.15 over the network.
4441
4442
* For users of bzrlib: Two major changes have been made to the working tree
4443
api in bzrlib. The first is that many methods and attributes, including
4444
the inventory attribute, are no longer valid for use until one of
4445
``lock_read``/``lock_write``/``lock_tree_write`` has been called,
4446
and become invalid again after unlock is called. This has been done
4447
to improve performance and correctness as part of the dirstate
4448
development.
4449
(Robert Collins, John A Meinel, Martin Pool, and others).
4450
4451
* For users of bzrlib: The attribute 'tree.inventory' should be considered
4452
readonly. Previously it was possible to directly alter this attribute, or
4453
its contents, and have the tree notice this. This has been made
4454
unsupported - it may work in some tree formats, but in the newer dirstate
4455
format such actions will have no effect and will be ignored, or even
4456
cause assertions. All operations possible can still be carried out by a
4457
combination of the tree API, and the bzrlib.transform API. (Robert
4458
Collins, John A Meinel, Martin Pool, and others).
4459
4460
IMPROVEMENTS:
4461
4462
* Support for OS Windows 98. Also .bzr.log on any windows system
4463
saved in My Documents folder. (Alexander Belchenko)
4464
4465
* ``bzr mv`` enhanced to support already moved files.
4466
In the past the mv command would have failed if the source file doesn't
4467
exist. In this situation ``bzr mv`` would now detect that the file has
4468
already moved and update the repository accordingly, if the target file
4469
does exist.
4470
A new option ``--after`` has been added so that if two files already
4471
exist, you could notify Bazaar that you have moved a (versioned) file
4472
and replaced it with another. Thus in this case ``bzr move --after``
4473
will only update the Bazaar identifier.
4474
(Steffen Eichenberg, Marius Kruger)
4475
4476
* ``ls`` now works on treeless branches and remote branches.
4477
(Aaron Bentley)
4478
4479
* ``bzr help global-options`` describes the global options.
4480
(Aaron Bentley)
4481
4482
* ``bzr pull --overwrite`` will now correctly overwrite checkouts.
4483
(Robert Collins)
4484
4485
* Files are now allowed to change kind (e.g. from file to symlink).
4486
Supported by ``commit``, ``revert`` and ``status``
4487
(Aaron Bentley)
4488
4489
* ``inventory`` and ``unknowns`` hidden in favour of ``ls``
4490
(Aaron Bentley)
4491
4492
* ``bzr help checkouts`` descibes what checkouts are and some possible
4493
uses of them. (James Westby, Aaron Bentley)
4494
4495
* A new ``-d`` option to push, pull and merge overrides the default
4496
directory. (Martin Pool)
4497
4498
* Branch format 6: smaller, and potentially faster than format 5. Supports
4499
``append_history_only`` mode, where the log view and revnos do not change,
4500
except by being added to. Stores policy settings in
4501
".bzr/branch/branch.conf".
4502
4503
* ``append_only`` branches: Format 6 branches may be configured so that log
4504
view and revnos are always consistent. Either create the branch using
4505
"bzr init --append-revisions-only" or edit the config file as descriped
4506
in docs/configuration.txt.
4507
4508
* rebind: Format 6 branches retain the last-used bind location, so if you
4509
"bzr unbind", you can "bzr bind" to bind to the previously-selected
4510
bind location.
4511
4512
* Builtin tags support, created and deleted by the ``tag`` command and
4513
stored in the branch. Tags can be accessed with the revisionspec
4514
``-rtag:``, and listed with ``bzr tags``. Tags are not versioned
4515
at present. Tags require a network incompatible upgrade. To perform this
4516
upgrade, run ``bzr upgrade --dirstate-tags`` in your branch and
4517
repositories. (Martin Pool)
4518
4519
* The ``bzr://`` transport now has a well-known port number, 4155,
4520
which it will use by default. (Andrew Bennetts, Martin Pool)
4521
4522
* Bazaar now looks for user-installed plugins before looking for site-wide
4523
plugins. (Jonathan Lange)
4524
4525
* ``bzr resolve`` now detects and marks resolved text conflicts.
4526
(Aaron Bentley)
4527
4528
INTERNALS:
4529
4530
* Internally revision ids and file ids are now passed around as utf-8
4531
bytestrings, rather than treating them as Unicode strings. This has
4532
performance benefits for Knits, since we no longer need to decode the
4533
revision id for each line of content, nor for each entry in the index.
4534
This will also help with the future dirstate format.
4535
(John Arbash Meinel)
4536
4537
* Reserved ids (any revision-id ending in a colon) are rejected by
4538
versionedfiles, repositories, branches, and working trees
4539
(Aaron Bentley)
4540
4541
* Minor performance improvement by not creating a ProgressBar for
4542
every KnitIndex we create. (about 90ms for a bzr.dev tree)
4543
(John Arbash Meinel)
4544
4545
* New easier to use Branch hooks facility. There are five initial hooks,
4546
all documented in bzrlib.branch.BranchHooks.__init__ - ``'set_rh'``,
4547
``'post_push'``, ``'post_pull'``, ``'post_commit'``,
4548
``'post_uncommit'``. These hooks fire after the matching operation
4549
on a branch has taken place, and were originally added for the
4550
branchrss plugin. (Robert Collins)
4551
4552
* New method ``Branch.push()`` which should be used when pushing from a
4553
branch as it makes performance and policy decisions to match the UI
4554
level command ``push``. (Robert Collins).
4555
4556
* Add a new method ``Tree.revision_tree`` which allows access to cached
4557
trees for arbitrary revisions. This allows the in development dirstate
4558
tree format to provide access to the callers to cached copies of
4559
inventory data which are cheaper to access than inventories from the
4560
repository.
4561
(Robert Collins, Martin Pool)
4562
4563
* New ``Branch.last_revision_info`` method, this is being done to allow
4564
optimization of requests for both the number of revisions and the last
4565
revision of a branch with smartservers and potentially future branch
4566
formats. (Wouter van Heyst, Robert Collins)
4567
4568
* Allow ``'import bzrlib.plugins.NAME'`` to work when the plugin NAME has not
4569
yet been loaded by ``load_plugins()``. This allows plugins to depend on each
4570
other for code reuse without requiring users to perform file-renaming
4571
gymnastics. (Robert Collins)
4572
4573
* New Repository method ``'gather_stats'`` for statistic data collection.
4574
This is expected to grow to cover a number of related uses mainly
4575
related to bzr info. (Robert Collins)
4576
4577
* Log formatters are now managed with a registry.
4578
``log.register_formatter`` continues to work, but callers accessing
4579
the FORMATTERS dictionary directly will not.
4580
4581
* Allow a start message to be passed to the ``edit_commit_message``
4582
function. This will be placed in the message offered to the user
4583
for editing above the separator. It allows a template commit message
4584
to be used more easily. (James Westby)
4585
4586
* ``GPGStrategy.sign()`` will now raise ``BzrBadParameterUnicode`` if
4587
you pass a Unicode string rather than an 8-bit string. Callers need
4588
to be updated to encode first. (John Arbash Meinel)
4589
4590
* Branch.push, pull, merge now return Result objects with information
4591
about what happened, rather than a scattering of various methods. These
4592
are also passed to the post hooks. (Martin Pool)
4593
4594
* File formats and architecture is in place for managing a forest of trees
4595
in bzr, and splitting up existing trees into smaller subtrees, and
4596
finally joining trees to make a larger tree. This is the first iteration
4597
of this support, and the user-facing aspects still require substantial
4598
work. If you wish to experiment with it, use ``bzr upgrade
4599
--dirstate-with-subtree`` in your working trees and repositories.
4600
You can use the hidden commands ``split`` and ``join`` and to create
4601
and manipulate nested trees, but please consider using the nested-trees
4602
branch, which contains substantial UI improvements, instead.
4603
http://code.aaronbentley.com/bzr/bzrrepo/nested-trees/

4606
BUGFIXES:
4607
4608
* ``bzr annotate`` now uses dotted revnos from the viewpoint of the
4609
branch, rather than the last changed revision of the file.
4610
(John Arbash Meinel, #82158)
4611
4612
* Lock operations no longer hang if they encounter a permission problem.
4613
(Aaron Bentley)
4614
4615
* ``bzr push`` can resume a push that was canceled before it finished.
4616
Also, it can push even if the target directory exists if you supply
4617
the ``--use-existing-dir`` flag.
4618
(John Arbash Meinel, #30576, #45504)
4619
4620
* Fix http proxy authentication when user and an optional
4621
password appears in the ``*_proxy`` vars. (Vincent Ladeuil,
4622
#83954).
4623
4624
* ``bzr log branch/file`` works for local treeless branches
4625
(Aaron Bentley, #84247)
4626
4627
* Fix problem with UNC paths on Windows 98. (Alexander Belchenko, #84728)
4628
4629
* Searching location of CA bundle for PyCurl in env variable
4630
(``CURL_CA_BUNDLE``), and on win32 along the PATH.
4631
(Alexander Belchenko, #82086)
4632
4633
* ``bzr init`` works with unicode argument LOCATION.
4634
(Alexander Belchenko, #85599)
4635
4636
* Raise ``DependencyNotPresent`` if pycurl do not support https.
4637
(Vincent Ladeuil, #85305)
4638
4639
* Invalid proxy env variables should not cause a traceback.
4640
(Vincent Ladeuil, #87765)
4641
4642
* Ignore patterns normalised to use '/' path separator.
4643
(Kent Gibson, #86451)
4644
4645
* bzr rocks. It sure does! Fix case. (Vincent Ladeuil, #78026)
4646
4647
* Fix bzrtools shelve command for removed lines beginning with "--"
4648
(Johan Dahlberg, #75577)
4649
4650
TESTING:
4651
4652
* New ``--first`` option to ``bzr selftest`` to run specified tests
4653
before the rest of the suite. (Martin Pool)

--------------------
4658
4659
IMPROVEMENTS:
4660
4661
* ``bzr help global-options`` describes the global options. (Aaron Bentley)
4662
4663
BUG FIXES:
4664
4665
* Skip documentation generation tests if the tools to do so are not
4666
available. Fixes running selftest for installled copies of bzr.
4667
(John Arbash Meinel, #80330)
4668
4669
* Fix the code that discovers whether bzr is being run from it's
4670
working tree to handle the case when it isn't but the directory
4671
it is in is below a repository. (James Westby, #77306)

4674
bzr 0.14rc1 2007-01-16
4675
-----------------------
4676
4677
IMPROVEMENTS:
4678
4679
* New connection: ``bzr+http://`` which supports tunnelling the smart
4680
protocol over an HTTP connection. If writing is enabled on the bzr
4681
server, then you can write over the http connection.
4682
(Andrew Bennetts, John Arbash Meinel)
4683
4684
* Aliases now support quotation marks, so they can contain whitespace
4685
(Marius Kruger)
4686
4687
* PyCurlTransport now use a single curl object. By specifying explicitly
4688
the 'Range' header, we avoid the need to use two different curl objects
4689
(and two connections to the same server). (Vincent Ladeuil)
4690
4691
* ``bzr commit`` does not prompt for a message until it is very likely to
4692
succeed. (Aaron Bentley)
4693
4694
* ``bzr conflicts`` now takes --text to list pathnames of text conflicts
4695
(Aaron Bentley)
4696
4697
* Fix ``iter_lines_added_or_present_in_versions`` to use a set instead
4698
of a list while checking if a revision id was requested. Takes 10s
4699
off of the ``fileids_affected_by_revision_ids`` time, which is 10s
4700
of the ``bzr branch`` time. Also improve ``fileids_...`` time by
4701
filtering lines with a regex rather than multiple ``str.find()``
4702
calls. (saves another 300ms) (John Arbash Meinel)
4703
4704
* Policy can be set for each configuration key. This allows keys to be
4705
inherited properly across configuration entries. For example, this
4706
should enable you to do::
4707
4708
[/home/user/project]
4709
push_location = sftp://host/srv/project/
4710
push_location:policy = appendpath
4711
4712
And then a branch like ``/home/user/project/mybranch`` should get an
4713
automatic push location of ``sftp://host/srv/project/mybranch``.
4714
(James Henstridge)
4715
4716
* Added ``bzr status --short`` to make status report svn style flags
4717
for each file. For example::
4718
4719
$ bzr status --short
4720
A foo
4721
A bar
4722
D baz
4723
? wooley
4724
4725
* 'bzr selftest --clean-output' allows easily clean temporary tests
4726
directories without running tests. (Alexander Belchenko)
4727
4728
* ``bzr help hidden-commands`` lists all hidden commands. (Aaron Bentley)
4729
4730
* ``bzr merge`` now has an option ``--pull`` to fall back to pull if
4731
local is fully merged into remote. (Jan Hudec)
4732
4733
* ``bzr help formats`` describes available directory formats. (Aaron Bentley)
4734
4735
INTERNALS:
4736
4737
* A few tweaks directly to ``fileids_affected_by_revision_ids`` to
4738
help speed up processing, as well allowing to extract unannotated
4739
lines. Between the two ``fileids_affected_by_revision_ids`` is
4740
improved by approx 10%. (John Arbash Meinel)
4741
4742
* Change Revision serialization to only write out millisecond
4743
resolution. Rather than expecting floating point serialization to
4744
preserve more resolution than we need. (Henri Weichers, Martin Pool)
4745
4746
* Test suite ends cleanly on Windows. (Vincent Ladeuil)
4747
4748
* When ``encoding_type`` attribute of class Command is equal to 'exact',
4749
force sys.stdout to be a binary stream on Windows, and therefore
4750
keep exact line-endings (without LF -> CRLF conversion).
4751
(Alexander Belchenko)
4752
4753
* Single-letter short options are no longer globally declared. (Martin
4754
Pool)
4755
4756
* Before using detected user/terminal encoding bzr should check
4757
that Python has corresponding codec. (Alexander Belchenko)
4758
4759
* Formats for end-user selection are provided via a FormatRegistry (Aaron Bentley)
4760
4761
BUG FIXES:
4762
4763
* ``bzr missing --verbose`` was showing adds/removals in the wrong
4764
direction. (John Arbash Meinel)
4765
4766
* ``bzr annotate`` now defaults to showing dotted revnos for merged
4767
revisions. It cuts them off at a depth of 12 characters, but you can
4768
supply ``--long`` to see the full number. You can also use
4769
``--show-ids`` to display the original revision ids, rather than
4770
revision numbers and committer names. (John Arbash Meinel, #75637)
4771
4772
* bzr now supports Win32 UNC path (e.g. ``\HOST\path``.
4773
(Alexander Belchenko, #57869)
4774
4775
* Win32-specific: output of cat, bundle and diff commands don't mangle
4776
line-endings (Alexander Belchenko, #55276)
4777
4778
* Replace broken fnmatch based ignore pattern matching with custom pattern
4779
matcher.
4780
(Kent Gibson, Jan Hudec #57637)
4781
4782
* pycurl and urllib can detect short reads at different places. Update
4783
the test suite to test more cases. Also detect http error code 416
4784
which was raised for that specific bug. Also enhance the urllib
4785
robustness by detecting invalid ranges (and pycurl's one by detecting
4786
short reads during the initial GET). (Vincent Ladeuil, #73948)
4787
4788
* The urllib connection sharing interacts badly with urllib2
4789
proxy setting (the connections didn't go thru the proxy
4790
anymore). Defining a proper ProxyHandler solves the
4791
problem. (Vincent Ladeuil, #74759)
4792
4793
* Use urlutils to generate relative URLs, not osutils
4794
(Aaron Bentley, #76229)
4795
4796
* ``bzr status`` in a readonly directory should work without giving
4797
lots of errors. (John Arbash Meinel, #76299)
4798
4799
* Mention the revisionspec topic for the revision option help.
4800
(Wouter van Heyst, #31663)
4801
4802
* Allow plugins import from zip archives.

4814
IMPROVEMENTS:
4815
4816
* New command ``bzr remove-tree`` allows the removal of the working
4817
tree from a branch.
4818
(Daniel Silverstone)
4819
4820
* urllib uses shared keep-alive connections, so http
4821
operations are substantially faster.
4822
(Vincent Ladeuil, #53654)
4823
4824
* ``bzr export`` allows an optional branch parameter, to export a bzr
4825
tree from some other url. For example:
4826
``bzr export bzr.tar.gz http://bazaar-vcs.org/bzr/bzr.dev``
4827
(Daniel Silverstone)
4828
4829
* Added ``bzr help topics`` to the bzr help system. This gives a
4830
location for general information, outside of a specific command.
4831
This includes updates for ``bzr help revisionspec`` the first topic
4832
included. (Goffredo Baroncelli, John Arbash Meinel, #42714)
4833
4834
* WSGI-compatible HTTP smart server. See ``doc/http_smart_server.txt``.
4835
(Andrew Bennetts)
4836
4837
* Knit files will now cache full texts only when the size of the
4838
deltas is as large as the size of the fulltext. (Or after 200
4839
deltas, whichever comes first). This has the most benefit on large
4840
files with small changes, such as the inventory for a large project.
4841
(eg For a project with 2500 files, and 7500 revisions, it changes
4842
the size of inventory.knit from 11MB to 5.4MB) (John Arbash Meinel)
4843
4844
INTERNALS:
4845
4846
* New -D option given before the command line turns on debugging output
4847
for particular areas. -Derror shows tracebacks on all errors.
4848
(Martin Pool)
4849
4850
* Clean up ``bzr selftest --benchmark bundle`` to correct an import,
4851
and remove benchmarks that take longer than 10min to run.
4852
(John Arbash Meinel)
4853
4854
* Use ``time.time()`` instead of ``time.clock()`` to decide on
4855
progress throttling. Because ``time.clock()`` is actually CPU time,
4856
so over a high-latency connection, too many updates get throttled.
4857
(John Arbash Meinel)
4858
4859
* ``MemoryTransport.list_dir()`` would strip the first character for
4860
files or directories in root directory. (John Arbash Meinel)
4861
4862
* New method ``get_branch_reference`` on 'BzrDir' allows the detection of
4863
branch references - which the smart server component needs.
4864
4865
* New ``ChrootTransportDecorator``, accessible via the ``chroot+`` url
4866
prefix. It disallows any access to locations above a set URL. (Andrew
4867
Bennetts)
4868
4869
BUG FIXES:
4870
4871
* Now ``_KnitIndex`` properly decode revision ids when loading index data.
4872
And optimize the knit index parsing code.
4873
(Dmitry Vasiliev, John Arbash Meinel)
4874
4875
* ``bzrlib/bzrdir.py`` was directly referencing ``bzrlib.workingtree``,
4876
without importing it. This prevented ``bzr upgrade`` from working
4877
unless a plugin already imported ``bzrlib.workingtree``
4878
(John Arbash Meinel, #70716)
4879
4880
* Suppress the traceback on invalid URLs (Vincent Ladeuil, #70803).
4881
4882
* Give nicer error message when an http server returns a 403
4883
error code. (Vincent Ladeuil, #57644).
4884
4885
* When a multi-range http GET request fails, try a single
4886
range one. If it fails too, forget about ranges. Remember that until
4887
the death of the transport and propagates that to the clones.
4888
(Vincent Ladeuil, #62276, #62029).
4889
4890
* Handles user/passwords supplied in url from command
4891
line (for the urllib implementation). Don't request already
4892
known passwords (Vincent Ladeuil, #42383, #44647, #48527)
4893
4894
* ``_KnitIndex.add_versions()`` dictionary compresses revision ids as they
4895
are added. This fixes bug where fetching remote revisions records
4896
them as full references rather than integers.
4897
(John Arbash Meinel, #64789)
4898
4899
* ``bzr ignore`` strips trailing slashes in patterns.
4900
Also ``bzr ignore`` rejects absolute paths. (Kent Gibson, #4559)
4901
4902
* ``bzr ignore`` takes multiple arguments. (Cheuksan Edward Wang, #29488)
4903
4904
* mv correctly handles paths that traverse symlinks.
4905
(Aaron Bentley, #66964)
4906
4907
* Give nicer looking error messages when failing to connect over ssh.
4908
(John Arbash Meinel, #49172)
4909
4910
* Pushing to a remote branch does not currently update the remote working
4911
tree. After a remote push, ``bzr status`` and ``bzr diff`` on the remote
4912
machine now show that the working tree is out of date.
4913
(Cheuksan Edward Wang #48136)
4914
4915
* Use patiencediff instead of difflib for determining deltas to insert
4916
into knits. This avoids the O(N^3) behavior of difflib. Patience
4917
diff should be O(N^2). (Cheuksan Edward Wang, #65714)
4918
4919
* Running ``bzr log`` on nonexistent file gives an error instead of the
4920
entire log history. (Cheuksan Edward Wang #50793)
4921
4922
* ``bzr cat`` can look up contents of removed or renamed files. If the
4923
pathname is ambiguous, i.e. the files in the old and new trees have
4924
different id's, the default is the file in the new tree. The user can
4925
use "--name-from-revision" to select the file in the old tree.
4926
(Cheuksan Edward Wang, #30190)
4927
4928
TESTING:
4929
4930
* TestingHTTPRequestHandler really handles the Range header
4931
(previously it was ignoring it and returning the whole file,).

4934
--------------------
4935
4936
INTERNALS:
4937
4938
* Clean up ``bzr selftest --benchmark bundle`` to correct an import,

and remove benchmarks that take longer than 10min to run.
4940
(John Arbash Meinel)
4941
4942
bzr 0.12rc1 2006-10-23
4943
-----------------------
4944
4945
IMPROVEMENTS:
4946
4947
* ``bzr log`` now shows dotted-decimal revision numbers for all revisions,
4948
rather than just showing a decimal revision number for revisions on the
4949
mainline. These revision numbers are not yet accepted as input into bzr
4950
commands such as log, diff etc. (Robert Collins)
4951
4952
* revisions can now be specified using dotted-decimal revision numbers.
4953
For instance, ``bzr diff -r 1.2.1..1.2.3``. (Robert Collins)
4954
4955
* ``bzr help commands`` output is now shorter (Aaron Bentley)
4956
4957
* ``bzr`` now uses lazy importing to reduce the startup time. This has
4958
a moderate effect on lots of actions, especially ones that have
4959
little to do. For example ``bzr rocks`` time is down to 116ms from
4960
283ms. (John Arbash Meinel)
4961
4962
* New Registry class to provide name-to-object registry-like support,
4963
for example for schemes where plugins can register new classes to
4964
do certain tasks (e.g. log formatters). Also provides lazy registration
4965
to allow modules to be loaded on request.
4966
(John Arbash Meinel, Adeodato Simó)
4967
4968
API INCOMPATABILITY:
4969
4970
* LogFormatter subclasses show now expect the 'revno' parameter to
4971
show() to be a string rather than an int. (Robert Collins)
4972
4973
INTERNALS:
4974
4975
* ``TestCase.run_bzr``, ``run_bzr_captured``, and ``run_bzr_subprocess``
4976
can take a ``working_dir='foo'`` parameter, which will change directory
4977
for the command. (John Arbash Meinel)
4978
4979
* ``bzrlib.lazy_regex.lazy_compile`` can be used to create a proxy
4980
around a regex, which defers compilation until first use.
4981
(John Arbash Meinel)
4982
4983
* ``TestCase.run_bzr_subprocess`` defaults to supplying the
4984
``--no-plugins`` parameter to ensure test reproducability, and avoid
4985
problems with system-wide installed plugins. (John Arbash Meinel)
4986
4987
* Unique tree root ids are now supported. Newly created trees still
4988
use the common root id for compatibility with bzr versions before 0.12.
4989
(Aaron Bentley)
4990
4991
* ``WorkingTree.set_root_id(None)`` is now deprecated. Please
4992
pass in ``inventory.ROOT_ID`` if you want the default root id value.
4993
(Robert Collins, John Arbash Meinel)
4994
4995
* New method ``WorkingTree.flush()`` which will write the current memory
4996
inventory out to disk. At the same time, ``read_working_inventory`` will
4997
no longer trash the current tree inventory if it has been modified within
4998
the current lock, and the tree will now ``flush()`` automatically on
4999
``unlock()``. ``WorkingTree.set_root_id()`` has been updated to take
5000
advantage of this functionality. (Robert Collins, John Arbash Meinel)
5001
5002
* ``bzrlib.tsort.merge_sorted`` now accepts ``generate_revnos``. This
5003
parameter will cause it to add another column to its output, which
5004
contains the dotted-decimal revno for each revision, as a tuple.
5005
(Robert Collins)
5006
5007
* ``LogFormatter.show_merge`` is deprecated in favour of
5008
``LogFormatter.show_merge_revno``. (Robert Collins)
5009
5010
BUG FIXES:
5011
5012
* Avoid circular imports by creating a deprecated function for
5013
``bzrlib.tree.RevisionTree``. Callers should have been using
5014
``bzrlib.revisontree.RevisionTree`` anyway. (John Arbash Meinel,
5015
#63360, #66349)
5016
5017
* Don't use ``socket.MSG_WAITALL`` as it doesn't exist on all
5018
platforms. (Martin Pool, #66356)
5019
5020
* Don't require ``Content-Type`` in range responses. Assume they are a
5021
single range if ``Content-Type`` does not exist.
5022
(John Arbash Meinel, #62473)
5023
5024
* bzr branch/pull no longer complain about progress bar cleanup when
5025
interrupted during fetch. (Aaron Bentley, #54000)
5026
5027
* ``WorkingTree.set_parent_trees()`` uses the trees to directly write
5028
the basis inventory, rather than going through the repository. This
5029
allows us to have 1 inventory read, and 2 inventory writes when
5030
committing a new tree. (John Arbash Meinel)
5031
5032
* When reverting, files that are not locally modified that do not exist
5033
in the target are deleted, not just unversioned (Aaron Bentley)
5034
5035
* When trying to acquire a lock, don't fail immediately. Instead, try
5036
a few times (up to 1 hour) before timing out. Also, report why the
5037
lock is unavailable (John Arbash Meinel, #43521, #49556)
5038
5039
* Leave HttpTransportBase daughter classes decides how they
5040
implement cloning. (Vincent Ladeuil, #61606)
5041
5042
* diff3 does not indicate conflicts on clean merge. (Aaron Bentley)
5043
5044
* If a commit fails, the commit message is stored in a file at the root of
5045
the tree for later commit. (Cheuksan Edward Wang, Stefan Metzmacher,
5046
#32054)
5047
5048
TESTING:
5049
5050
* New test base class TestCaseWithMemoryTransport offers memory-only
5051
testing facilities: its not suitable for tests that need to mutate disk
5052
state, but most tests should not need that and should be converted to
5053
TestCaseWithMemoryTransport. (Robert Collins)
5054
5055
* ``TestCase.make_branch_and_memory_tree`` now takes a format
5056
option to set the BzrDir, Repository and Branch formats of the
5057
created objects. (Robert Collins, John Arbash Meinel)
5058
5059
bzr 0.11 2006-10-02

5066
5067
BUG FIXES:
5068
5069
* Test suite hangs on windows fixed. (Andrew Bennets, Alexander Belchenko).
5070
5071
* Commit performance regression fixed. (Aaron Bentley, Robert Collins, John
5072
Arbash Meinel).

5075
-----------------------
5076
5077
IMPROVEMENTS:
5078
5079
* Knit files now wait to create their contents until the first data is
5080
added. The old code used to create an empty .knit and a .kndx with just
5081
the header. However, this caused a lot of extra round trips over sftp.
5082
This can change the time for ``bzr push`` to create a new remote branch
5083
from 160s down to 100s. This also affects ``bzr commit`` performance when
5084
adding new files, ``bzr commit`` on a new kernel-like tree drops from 50s
5085
down to 40s (John Arbash Meinel, #44692)
5086
5087
* When an entire subtree has been deleted, commit will now report that
5088
just the top of the subtree has been deleted, rather than reporting
5089
all the individual items. (Robert Collins)
5090
5091
* Commit performs one less XML parse. (Robert Collins)
5092
5093
* ``bzr checkout`` now operates on readonly branches as well
5094
as readwrite branches. This fixes bug #39542. (Robert Collins)
5095
5096
* ``bzr bind`` no longer synchronises history with the master branch.
5097
Binding should be followed by an update or push to synchronise the
5098
two branches. This is closely related to the fix for bug #39542.
5099
(Robert Collins)
5100
5101
* ``bzrlib.lazy_import.lazy_import`` function to create on-demand
5102
objects. This allows all imports to stay at the global scope, but
5103
modules will not actually be imported if they are not used.
5104
(John Arbash Meinel)
5105
5106
* Support ``bzr://`` and ``bzr+ssh://`` urls to work with the new RPC-based
5107
transport which will be used with the upcoming high-performance smart
5108
server. The new command ``bzr serve`` will invoke bzr in server mode,
5109
which processes these requests. (Andrew Bennetts, Robert Collins, Martin
5110
Pool)
5111
5112
* New command ``bzr version-info`` which can be used to get a summary
5113
of the current state of the tree. This is especially useful as part
5114
of a build commands. See ``doc/version_info.txt`` for more information
5115
(John Arbash Meinel)
5116
5117
BUG FIXES:
5118
5119
* ``'bzr inventory [FILE...]'`` allows restricting the file list to a
5120
specific set of files. (John Arbash Meinel, #3631)
5121
5122
* Don't abort when annotating empty files (John Arbash Meinel, #56814)
5123
5124
* Add ``Stanza.to_unicode()`` which can be passed to another Stanza
5125
when nesting stanzas. Also, add ``read_stanza_unicode`` to handle when
5126
reading a nested Stanza. (John Arbash Meinel)
5127
5128
* Transform._set_mode() needs to stat the right file.
5129
(John Arbash Meinel, #56549)
5130
5131
* Raise WeaveFormatError rather than StopIteration when trying to read
5132
an empty Weave file. (John Arbash Meinel, #46871)
5133
5134
* Don't access e.code for generic URLErrors, only HTTPErrors have .code.
5135
(Vincent Ladeuil, #59835)
5136
5137
* Handle boundary="" lines properly to allow access through a Squid proxy.
5138
(John Arbash Meinel, #57723)
5139
5140
* revert now removes newly-added directories (Aaron Bentley, #54172)
5141
5142
* ``bzr upgrade sftp://`` shouldn't fail to upgrade v6 branches if there
5143
isn't a working tree. (David Allouche, #40679)
5144
5145
* Give nicer error messages when a user supplies an invalid --revision
5146
parameter. (John Arbash Meinel, #55420)
5147
5148
* Handle when LANG is not recognized by python. Emit a warning, but
5149
just revert to using 'ascii'. (John Arbash Meinel, #35392)
5150
5151
* Don't use ``preexec_fn`` on win32, as it is not supported by subprocess.
5152
(John Arbash Meinel)
5153
5154
* Skip specific tests when the dependencies aren't met. This includes
5155
some ``setup.py`` tests when ``python-dev`` is not available, and
5156
some tests that depend on paramiko. (John Arbash Meinel, Mattheiu Moy)
5157
5158
* Fallback to Paramiko properly, if no ``ssh`` executable exists on
5159
the system. (Andrew Bennetts, John Arbash Meinel)
5160
5161
* ``Branch.bind(other_branch)`` no longer takes a write lock on the
5162
other branch, and will not push or pull between the two branches.
5163
API users will need to perform a push or pull or update operation if they
5164
require branch synchronisation to take place. (Robert Collins, #47344)
5165
5166
* When creating a tarball or zipfile export, export unicode names as utf-8
5167
paths. This may not work perfectly on all platforms, but has the best
5168
chance of working in the common case. (John Arbash Meinel, #56816)
5169
5170
* When committing, only files that exist in working tree or basis tree
5171
may be specified (Aaron Bentley, #50793)
5172
5173
PORTABILITY:
5174
5175
* Fixes to run on Python 2.5 (Brian M. Carlson, Martin Pool, Marien Zwart)
5176
5177
INTERNALS:
5178
5179
* TestCaseInTempDir now creates a separate directory for HOME, rather
5180
than having HOME set to the same location as the working directory.
5181
(John Arbash Meinel)
5182
5183
* ``run_bzr_subprocess()`` can take an optional ``env_changes={}`` parameter,
5184
which will update os.environ inside the spawned child. It also can
5185
take a ``universal_newlines=True``, which helps when checking the output
5186
of the command. (John Arbash Meinel)
5187
5188
* Refactor SFTP vendors to allow easier re-use when ssh is used.
5189
(Andrew Bennetts)
5190
5191
* ``Transport.list_dir()`` and ``Transport.iter_files_recursive()`` should always
5192
return urlescaped paths. This is now tested (there were bugs in a few
5193
of the transports) (Andrew Bennetts, David Allouche, John Arbash Meinel)
5194
5195
* New utility function ``symbol_versioning.deprecation_string``. Returns the
5196
formatted string for a callable, deprecation format pair. (Robert Collins)
5197
5198
* New TestCase helper applyDeprecated. This allows you to call a callable
5199
which is deprecated without it spewing to the screen, just by supplying
5200
the deprecation format string issued for it. (Robert Collins)
5201
5202
* Transport.append and Transport.put have been deprecated in favor of
5203
``.append_bytes``, ``.append_file``, ``.put_bytes``, and
5204
``.put_file``. This removes the ambiguity in what type of object the
5205
functions take. ``Transport.non_atomic_put_{bytes,file}`` has also
5206
been added. Which works similarly to ``Transport.append()`` except for
5207
SFTP, it doesn't have a round trip when opening the file. Also, it
5208
provides functionality for creating a parent directory when trying
5209
to create a file, rather than raise NoSuchFile and forcing the
5210
caller to repeat their request.
5211
(John Arbash Meinel)
5212
5213
* WorkingTree has a new api ``unversion`` which allow the unversioning of
5214
entries by their file id. (Robert Collins)
5215
5216
* ``WorkingTree.pending_merges`` is deprecated. Please use the
5217
``get_parent_ids`` (introduced in 0.10) method instead. (Robert Collins)
5218
5219
* WorkingTree has a new ``lock_tree_write`` method which locks the branch for
5220
read rather than write. This is appropriate for actions which only need
5221
the branch data for reference rather than mutation. A new decorator
5222
``needs_tree_write_lock`` is provided in the workingtree module. Like the
5223
``needs_read_lock`` and ``needs_write_lock`` decorators this allows static
5224
declaration of the locking requirements of a function to ensure that
5225
a lock is taken out for casual scripts. (Robert Collins, #54107)
5226
5227
* All WorkingTree methods which write to the tree, but not to the branch
5228
have been converted to use ``needs_tree_write_lock`` rather than
5229
``needs_write_lock``. Also converted is the revert, conflicts and tree
5230
transform modules. This provides a modest performance improvement on
5231
metadir style trees, due to the reduce lock-acquisition, and a more
5232
significant performance improvement on lightweight checkouts from
5233
remote branches, where trivial operations used to pay a significant
5234
penalty. It also provides the basis for allowing readonly checkouts.
5235
(Robert Collins)
5236
5237
* Special case importing the standard library 'copy' module. This shaves
5238
off 40ms of startup time, while retaining compatibility. See:
5239
``bzrlib/inspect_for_copy.py`` for more details. (John Arbash Meinel)
5240
5241
* WorkingTree has a new parent class MutableTree which represents the
5242
specialisations of Tree which are able to be altered. (Robert Collins)
5243
5244
* New methods mkdir and ``put_file_bytes_non_atomic`` on MutableTree that
5245
mutate the tree and its contents. (Robert Collins)
5246
5247
* Transport behaviour at the root of the URL is now defined and tested.
5248
(Andrew Bennetts, Robert Collins)
5249
5250
TESTING:
5251
5252
* New test helper classs MemoryTree. This is typically accessed via
5253
``self.make_branch_and_memory_tree()`` in test cases. (Robert Collins)
5254
5255
* Add ``start_bzr_subprocess`` and ``stop_bzr_subprocess`` to allow test
5256
code to continue running concurrently with a subprocess of bzr.
5257
(Andrew Bennetts, Robert Collins)
5258
5259
* Add a new method ``Transport.get_smart_client()``. This is provided to
5260
allow upgrades to a richer interface than the VFS one provided by
5261
Transport. (Andrew Bennetts, Martin Pool)
5262
5263
bzr 0.10 2006-08-29
5264
--------------------
5265
5266
IMPROVEMENTS:
5267
* 'merge' now takes --uncommitted, to apply uncommitted changes from a
5268
tree. (Aaron Bentley)
5269
5270
* 'bzr add --file-ids-from' can be used to specify another path to use
5271
for creating file ids, rather than generating all new ones. Internally,
5272
the 'action' passed to ``smart_add_tree()`` can return ``file_ids`` that
5273
will be used, rather than having bzrlib generate new ones.
5274
(John Arbash Meinel, #55781)
5275
5276
* ``bzr selftest --benchmark`` now allows a ``--cache-dir`` parameter.
5277
This will cache some of the intermediate trees, and decrease the
5278
setup time for benchmark tests. (John Arbash Meinel)
5279
5280
* Inverse forms are provided for all boolean options. For example,
5281
--strict has --no-strict, --no-recurse has --recurse (Aaron Bentley)
5282
5283
* Serialize out Inventories directly, rather than using ElementTree.
5284
Writing out a kernel sized inventory drops from 2s down to ~350ms.
5285
(Robert Collins, John Arbash Meinel)
5286
5287
BUG FIXES:
5288
5289
* Help diffutils 2.8.4 get along with binary tests (Marien Zwart: #57614)
5290
5291
* Change LockDir so that if the lock directory doesn't exist when
5292
``lock_write()`` is called, an attempt will be made to create it.
5293
(John Arbash Meinel, #56974)
5294
5295
* ``bzr uncommit`` preserves pending merges. (John Arbash Meinel, #57660)
5296
5297
* Active FTP transport now works as intended. (ghozzy, #56472)
5298
5299
* Really fix mutter() so that it won't ever raise a UnicodeError.
5300
It means it is possible for ~/.bzr.log to contain non UTF-8 characters.
5301
But it is a debugging log, not a real user file.
5302
(John Arbash Meinel, #56947, #53880)
5303
5304
* Change Command handle to allow Unicode command and options.
5305
At present we cannot register Unicode command names, so we will get
5306
BzrCommandError('unknown command'), or BzrCommandError('unknown option')
5307
But that is better than a UnicodeError + a traceback.
5308
(John Arbash Meinel, #57123)
5309
5310
* Handle TZ=UTC properly when reading/writing revisions.
5311
(John Arbash Meinel, #55783, #56290)
5312
5313
* Use ``GPG_TTY`` to allow gpg --cl to work with gpg-agent in a pipeline,
5314
(passing text to sign in on stdin). (John Arbash Meinel, #54468)
5315
5316
* External diff does the right thing for binaries even in foreign
5317
languages. (John Arbash Meinel, #56307)
5318
5319
* Testament handles more cases when content is unicode. Specific bug was
5320
in handling of revision properties.
5321
(John Arbash Meinel, Holger Krekel, #54723)
5322
5323
* The bzr selftest was failing on installed versions due to a bug in a new
5324
test helper. (John Arbash Meinel, Robert Collins, #58057)
5325
5326
INTERNALS:
5327
5328
* ``bzrlib.cache_utf8`` contains ``encode()`` and ``decode()`` functions
5329
which can be used to cache the conversion between utf8 and Unicode.
5330
Especially helpful for some of the knit annotation code, which has to
5331
convert revision ids to utf8 to annotate lines in storage.
5332
(John Arbash Meinel)
5333
5334
* ``setup.py`` now searches the filesystem to find all packages which
5335
need to be installed. This should help make the life of packagers
5336
easier. (John Arbash Meinel)
5337
5338
bzr 0.9.0 2006-08-11
5339
---------------------
5340
5341
SURPRISES:
5342
5343
* The hard-coded built-in ignore rules have been removed. There are
5344
now two rulesets which are enforced. A user global one in
5345
``~/.bazaar/ignore`` which will apply to every tree, and the tree
5346
specific one '.bzrignore'.
5347
``~/.bazaar/ignore`` will be created if it does not exist, but with
5348
a more conservative list than the old default.
5349
This fixes bugs with default rules being enforced no matter what.
5350
The old list of ignore rules from bzr is available by
5351
running 'bzr ignore --old-default-rules'.
5352
(Robert Collins, Martin Pool, John Arbash Meinel)
5353
5354
* 'branches.conf' has been changed to 'locations.conf', since it can apply
5355
to more locations than just branch locations.
5356
(Aaron Bentley)
5357
5358
IMPROVEMENTS:
5359
5360
* The revision specifier "revno:" is extended to accept the syntax
5361
revno:N:branch. For example,
5362
revno:42:http://bazaar-vcs.org/bzr/bzr.dev/ means revision 42 in
5363
bzr.dev. (Matthieu Moy)
5364
5365
* Tests updates to ensure proper URL handling, UNICODE support, and
5366
proper printing when the user's terminal encoding cannot display
5367
the path of a file that has been versioned.
5368
``bzr branch`` can take a target URL rather than only a local directory.
5369
``Branch.get_parent()/set_parent()`` now save a relative path if possible,
5370
and normalize the parent based on root, allowing access across
5371
different transports. (John Arbash Meinel, Wouter van Heyst, Martin Pool)
5372
(Malone #48906, #42699, #40675, #5281, #3980, #36363, #43689,
5373
#42517, #42514)
5374
5375
* On Unix, detect terminal width using an ioctl not just $COLUMNS.
5376
Use terminal width for single-line logs from ``bzr log --line`` and
5377
pending-merge display. (Robert Widhopf-Fenk, Gustavo Niemeyer)
5378
(Malone #3507)
5379
5380
* On Windows, detect terminal width using GetConsoleScreenBufferInfo.
5381
(Alexander Belchenko)
5382
5383
* Speedup improvement for 'date:'-revision search. (Guillaume Pinot).
5384
5385
* Show the correct number of revisions pushed when pushing a new branch.
5386
(Robert Collins).
5387
5388
* 'bzr selftest' now shows a progress bar with the number of tests, and
5389
progress made. 'make check' shows tests in -v mode, to be more useful
5390
for the PQM status window. (Robert Collins).
5391
When using a progress bar, failed tests are printed out, rather than
5392
being overwritten by the progress bar until the suite finishes.
5393
(John Arbash Meinel)
5394
5395
* 'bzr selftest --benchmark' will run a new benchmarking selftest.
5396
'bzr selftest --benchmark --lsprof-timed' will use lsprofile to generate
5397
profile data for the individual profiled calls, allowing for fine
5398
grained analysis of performance.
5399
(Robert Collins, Martin Pool).
5400
5401
* 'bzr commit' shows a progress bar. This is useful for commits over sftp
5402
where commit can take an appreciable time. (Robert Collins)
5403
5404
* 'bzr add' is now less verbose in telling you what ignore globs were
5405
matched by files being ignored. Instead it just tells you how many
5406
were ignored (because you might reasonably be expecting none to be
5407
ignored). 'bzr add -v' is unchanged and will report every ignored
5408
file. (Robert Collins).
5409
5410
* ftp now has a test server if medusa is installed. As part of testing,
5411
ftp support has been improved, including support for supplying a
5412
non-standard port. (John Arbash Meinel).
5413
5414
* 'bzr log --line' shows the revision number, and uses only the
5415
first line of the log message (#5162, Alexander Belchenko;
5416
Matthieu Moy)
5417
5418
* 'bzr status' has had the --all option removed. The 'bzr ls' command
5419
should be used to retrieve all versioned files. (Robert Collins)
5420
5421
* 'bzr bundle OTHER/BRANCH' will create a bundle which can be sent
5422
over email, and applied on the other end, while maintaining ancestry.
5423
This bundle can be applied with either 'bzr merge' or 'bzr pull',
5424
the same way you would apply another branch.
5425
(John Arbash Meinel, Aaron Bentley)
5426
5427
* 'bzr whoami' can now be used to set your identity from the command line,
5428
for a branch or globally. (Robey Pointer)
5429
5430
* 'bzr checkout' now aliased to 'bzr co', and 'bzr annotate' to 'bzr ann'.
5431
(Michael Ellerman)
5432
5433
* 'bzr revert DIRECTORY' now reverts the contents of the directory as well.
5434
(Aaron Bentley)
5435
5436
* 'bzr get sftp://foo' gives a better error when paramiko is not present.
5437
Also updates things like 'http+pycurl://' if pycurl is not present.
5438
(John Arbash Meinel) (Malone #47821, #52204)
5439
5440
* New env variable ``BZR_PROGRESS_BAR``, sets the default progress bar type.
5441
Can be set to 'none' or 'dummy' to disable the progress bar, 'dots' or
5442
'tty' to create the respective type. (John Arbash Meinel, #42197, #51107)
5443
5444
* Improve the help text for 'bzr diff' to explain what various options do.
5445
(John Arbash Meinel, #6391)
5446
5447
* 'bzr uncommit -r 10' now uncommits revisions 11.. rather than uncommitting
5448
revision 10. This makes -r10 more in line with what other commands do.
5449
'bzr uncommit' also now saves the pending merges of the revisions that
5450
were removed. So it is safe to uncommit after a merge, fix something,
5451
and commit again. (John Arbash Meinel, #32526, #31426)
5452
5453
* 'bzr init' now also works on remote locations.
5454
(Wouter van Heyst, #48904)
5455
5456
* HTTP support has been updated. When using pycurl we now support
5457
connection keep-alive, which reduces dns requests and round trips.
5458
And for both urllib and pycurl we support multi-range requests,
5459
which decreases the number of round-trips. Performance results for
5460
``bzr branch http://bazaar-vcs.org/bzr/bzr.dev/`` indicate
5461
http branching is now 2-3x faster, and ``bzr pull`` in an existing
5462
branch is as much as 4x faster.
5463
(Michael Ellerman, Johan Rydberg, John Arbash Meinel, #46768)
5464
5465
* Performance improvements for sftp. Branching and pulling are now up to
5466
2x faster. Utilize paramiko.readv() support for async requests if it
5467
is available (paramiko > 1.6) (John Arbash Meinel)
5468
5469
BUG FIXES:
5470
5471
* Fix shadowed definition of TestLocationConfig that caused some
5472
tests not to run.
5473
(Erik Bågfors, Michael Ellerman, Martin Pool, #32587)
5474
5475
* Fix unnecessary requirement of sign-my-commits that it be run from
5476
a working directory. (Martin Pool, Robert Collins)
5477
5478
* 'bzr push location' will only remember the push location if it succeeds
5479
in connecting to the remote location. (John Arbash Meinel, #49742)
5480
5481
* 'bzr revert' no longer toggles the executable bit on win32
5482
(John Arbash Meinel, #45010)

5484
* Handle broken pipe under win32 correctly. (John Arbash Meinel)
5485
5486
* sftp tests now work correctly on win32 if you have a newer paramiko
5487
(John Arbash Meinel)
5488
5489
* Cleanup win32 test suite, and general cleanup of places where
5490
file handles were being held open. (John Arbash Meinel)
5491
5492
* When specifying filenames for 'diff -r x..y', the name of the file in the
5493
working directory can be used, even if its name is different in both x
5494
and y.
5495
5496
* File-ids containing single- or double-quotes are handled correctly by
5497
push. (Aaron Bentley, #52227)
5498
5499
* Normalize unicode filenames to ensure cross-platform consistency.
5500
(John Arbash Meinel, #43689)
5501
5502
* The argument parser can now handle '-' as an argument. Currently
5503
no code interprets it specially (it is mostly handled as a file named
5504
'-'). But plugins, and future operations can use it.
5505
(John Arbash meinel, #50984)
5506
5507
* Bundles can properly read binary files with a plain '\r' in them.
5508
(John Arbash Meinel, #51927)
5509
5510
* Tuning ``iter_entries()`` to be more efficient (John Arbash Meinel, #5444)
5511
5512
* Lots of win32 fixes (the test suite passes again).
5513
(John Arbash Meinel, #50155)
5514
5515
* Handle openbsd returning None for sys.getfilesystemencoding() (#41183)
5516
5517
* Support ftp APPE (append) to allow Knits to be used over ftp (#42592)
5518
5519
* Removals are only committed if they match the filespec (or if there is
5520
no filespec). (#46635, Aaron Bentley)
5521
5522
* smart-add recurses through all supplied directories
5523
(John Arbash Meinel, #52578)
5524
5525
* Make the bundle reader extra lines before and after the bundle text.
5526
This allows you to parse an email with the bundle inline.
5527
(John Arbash Meinel, #49182)
5528
5529
* Change the file id generator to squash a little bit more. Helps when
5530
working with long filenames on windows. (Also helps for unicode filenames
5531
not generating hidden files). (John Arbash Meinel, #43801)
5532
5533
* Restore terminal mode on C-c while reading sftp password. (#48923,
5534
Nicholas Allen, Martin Pool)
5535
5536
* Timestamps are rounded to 1ms, and revision entries can be recreated
5537
exactly. (John Arbash Meinel, Jamie Wilkinson, #40693)
5538
5539
* Branch.base has changed to a URL, but ~/.bazaar/locations.conf should
5540
use local paths, since it is user visible (John Arbash Meinel, #53653)
5541
5542
* ``bzr status foo`` when foo was unversioned used to cause a full delta
5543
to be generated (John Arbash Meinel, #53638)
5544
5545
* When reading revision properties, an empty value should be considered
5546
the empty string, not None (John Arbash Meinel, #47782)
5547
5548
* ``bzr diff --diff-options`` can now handle binary files being changed.
5549
Also, the output is consistent when --diff-options is not supplied.
5550
(John Arbash Meinel, #54651, #52930)
5551
5552
* Use the right suffixes for loading plugins (John Arbash Meinel, #51810)
5553
5554
* Fix ``Branch.get_parent()`` to handle the case when the parent is not
5555
accessible (John Arbash Meinel, #52976)
5556
5557
INTERNALS:
5558
5559
* Combine the ignore rules into a single regex rather than looping over
5560
them to reduce the threshold where N^2 behaviour occurs in operations
5561
like status. (Jan Hudec, Robert Collins).
5562
5563
* Appending to ``bzrlib.DEFAULT_IGNORE`` is now deprecated. Instead, use
5564
one of the add functions in bzrlib.ignores. (John Arbash Meinel)
5565
5566
* 'bzr push' should only push the ancestry of the current revision, not
5567
all of the history in the repository. This is especially important for
5568
shared repositories. (John Arbash Meinel)
5569
5570
* ``bzrlib.delta.compare_trees`` now iterates in alphabetically sorted order,
5571
rather than randomly walking the inventories. (John Arbash Meinel)
5572
5573
* Doctests are now run in temporary directories which are cleaned up when
5574
they finish, rather than using special ScratchDir/ScratchBranch objects.
5575
(Martin Pool)
5576
5577
* Split ``check`` into separate methods on the branch and on the repository,
5578
so that it can be specialized in ways that are useful or efficient for
5579
different formats. (Martin Pool, Robert Collins)
5580
5581
* Deprecate ``Repository.all_revision_ids``; most methods don't really need
5582
the global revision graph but only that part leading up to a particular
5583
revision. (Martin Pool, Robert Collins)
5584
5585
* Add a BzrDirFormat ``control_formats`` list which allows for control formats
5586
that do not use '.bzr' to store their data - i.e. '.svn', '.hg' etc.
5587
(Robert Collins, Jelmer Vernooij).
5588
5589
* ``bzrlib.diff.external_diff`` can be redirected to any file-like object.
5590
Uses subprocess instead of spawnvp.
5591
(James Henstridge, John Arbash Meinel, #4047, #48914)
5592
5593
* New command line option '--profile-imports', which will install a custom
5594
importer to log time to import modules and regex compilation time to
5595
sys.stderr (John Arbash Meinel)
5596
5597
* 'EmptyTree' is now deprecated, please use ``repository.revision_tree(None)``
5598
instead. (Robert Collins)
5599
5600
* "RevisionTree" is now in bzrlib/revisiontree.py. (Robert Collins)

5657
bzr 0.8 2006-05-08
5658
-------------------
5659
5660
NOTES WHEN UPGRADING:
5661
5662
Release 0.8 of bzr introduces a new format for history storage, called
5663
'knit', as an evolution of to the 'weave' format used in 0.7. Local
5664
and remote operations are faster using knits than weaves. Several
5665
operations including 'init', 'init-repo', and 'upgrade' take a
5666
--format option that controls this. Branching from an existing branch
5667
will keep the same format.
5668
5669
It is possible to merge, pull and push between branches of different
5670
formats but this is slower than moving data between homogenous
5671
branches. It is therefore recommended (but not required) that you
5672
upgrade all branches for a project at the same time. Information on
5673
formats is shown by 'bzr info'.
5674
5675
bzr 0.8 now allows creation of 'repositories', which hold the history
5676
of files and revisions for several branches. Previously bzr kept all
5677
the history for a branch within the .bzr directory at the root of the
5678
branch, and this is still the default. To create a repository, use
5679
the new 'bzr init-repo' command. Branches exist as directories under
5680
the repository and contain just a small amount of information
5681
indicating the current revision of the branch.
5682
5683
bzr 0.8 also supports 'checkouts', which are similar to in cvs and
5684
subversion. Checkouts are associated with a branch (optionally in a
5685
repository), which contains all the historical information. The
5686
result is that a checkout can be deleted without losing any
5687
already-committed revisions. A new 'update' command is also available.
5688
5689
Repositories and checkouts are not supported with the 0.7 storage
5690
format. To use them you must upgrad to either knits, or to the
5691
'metaweave' format, which uses weaves but changes the .bzr directory
5692
arrangement.
5693
5694
5695
IMPROVEMENTS:
5696
5697
* Sftp paths can now be relative, or local, according to the lftp
5698
convention. Paths now take the form::
5699
5700
sftp://user:pass@host:port/~/relative/path
5701
or
5702
sftp://user:pass@host:port/absolute/path
5703
5704
* The FTP transport now tries to reconnect after a temporary
5705
failure. ftp put is made atomic. (Matthieu Moy)
5706
5707
* The FTP transport now maintains a pool of connections, and
5708
reuses them to avoid multiple connections to the same host (like
5709
sftp did). (Daniel Silverstone)
5710
5711
* The ``bzr_man.py`` file has been removed. To create the man page now,
5712
use ``./generate_docs.py man``. The new program can also create other files.
5713
Run ``python generate_docs.py --help`` for usage information.
5714
(Hans Ulrich Niedermann & James Blackwell).
5715
5716
* Man Page now gives full help (James Blackwell).
5717
Help also updated to reflect user config now being stored in .bazaar
5718
(Hans Ulrich Niedermann)
5719
5720
* It's now possible to set aliases in bazaar.conf (Erik Bågfors)
5721
5722
* Pull now accepts a --revision argument (Erik Bågfors)
5723
5724
* ``bzr re-sign`` now allows multiple revisions to be supplied on the command
5725
line. You can now use the following command to sign all of your old
5726
commits::
5727
5728
find .bzr/revision-store// -name my@email-* \
5729
| sed 's/.*\/\/..\///' \
5730
| xargs bzr re-sign
5731
5732
* Upgrade can now upgrade over the network. (Robert Collins)
5733
5734
* Two new commands 'bzr checkout' and 'bzr update' allow for CVS/SVN-alike
5735
behaviour. By default they will cache history in the checkout, but
5736
with --lightweight almost all data is kept in the master branch.
5737
(Robert Collins)
5738
5739
* 'revert' unversions newly-versioned files, instead of deleting them.
5740
5741
* 'merge' is more robust. Conflict messages have changed.
5742
5743
* 'merge' and 'revert' no longer clobber existing files that end in '~' or
5744
'.moved'.
5745
5746
* Default log format can be set in configuration and plugins can register
5747
their own formatters. (Erik Bågfors)
5748
5749
* New 'reconcile' command will check branch consistency and repair indexes
5750
that can become out of sync in pre 0.8 formats. (Robert Collins,
5751
Daniel Silverstone)
5752
5753
* New 'bzr init --format' and 'bzr upgrade --format' option to control
5754
what storage format is created or produced. (Robert Collins,
5755
Martin Pool)
5756
5757
* Add parent location to 'bzr info', if there is one. (Olaf Conradi)
5758
5759
* New developer commands 'weave-list' and 'weave-join'. (Martin Pool)
5760
5761
* New 'init-repository' command, plus support for repositories in 'init'
5762
and 'branch' (Aaron Bentley, Erik Bågfors, Robert Collins)
5763
5764
* Improve output of 'info' command. Show all relevant locations related to
5765
working tree, branch and repository. Use kibibytes for binary quantities.
5766
Fix off-by-one error in missing revisions of working tree. Make 'info'
5767
work on branches, repositories and remote locations. Show locations
5768
relative to the shared repository, if applicable. Show locking status
5769
of locations. (Olaf Conradi)
5770
5771
* Diff and merge now safely handle binary files. (Aaron Bentley)
5772
5773
* 'pull' and 'push' now normalise the revision history, so that any two
5774
branches with the same tip revision will have the same output from 'log'.
5775
(Robert Collins)
5776
5777
* 'merge' accepts --remember option to store parent location, like 'push'
5778
and 'pull'. (Olaf Conradi)
5779
5780
* bzr status and diff when files given as arguments do not exist
5781
in the relevant trees. (Martin Pool, #3619)
5782
5783
* Add '.hg' to the default ignore list. (Martin Pool)
5784
5785
* 'knit' is now the default disk format. This improves disk performance and
5786
utilization, increases incremental pull performance, robustness with SFTP
5787
and allows checkouts over SFTP to perform acceptably.
5788
The initial Knit code was contributed by Johan Rydberg based on a
5789
specification by Martin Pool.
5790
(Robert Collins, Aaron Bentley, Johan Rydberg, Martin Pool).
5791
5792
* New tool to generate all-in-one html version of the manual. (Alexander
5793
Belchenko)
5794
5795
* Hitting CTRL-C while doing an SFTP push will no longer cause stale locks
5796
to be left in the SFTP repository. (Robert Collins, Martin Pool).
5797
5798
* New option 'diff --prefix' to control how files are named in diff
5799
output, with shortcuts '-p0' and '-p1' corresponding to the options for
5800
GNU patch. (Alexander Belchenko, Goffredo Baroncelli, Martin Pool)
5801
5802
* Add --revision option to 'annotate' command. (Olaf Conradi)
5803
5804
* If bzr shows an unexpected revision-history after pulling (perhaps due
5805
to a reweave) it can now be corrected by 'bzr reconcile'.
5806
(Robert Collins)
5807
5808
CHANGES:
5809
5810
* Commit is now verbose by default, and shows changed filenames and the
5811
new revision number. (Robert Collins, Martin Pool)
5812
5813
* Unify 'mv', 'move', 'rename'. (Matthew Fuller, #5379)
5814
5815
* 'bzr -h' shows help. (Martin Pool, Ian Bicking, #35940)
5816
5817
* Make 'pull' and 'push' remember location on failure using --remember.
5818
(Olaf Conradi)
5819
5820
* For compatibility, make old format for using weaves inside metadir
5821
available as 'metaweave' format. Rename format 'metadir' to 'default'.
5822
Clean up help for option --format in commands 'init', 'init-repo' and
5823
'upgrade'. (Olaf Conradi)
5824
5825
INTERNALS:
5826
5827
* The internal storage of history, and logical branch identity have now
5828
been split into Branch, and Repository. The common locking and file
5829
management routines are now in bzrlib.lockablefiles.
5830
(Aaron Bentley, Robert Collins, Martin Pool)
5831
5832
* Transports can now raise DependencyNotPresent if they need a library
5833
which is not installed, and then another implementation will be
5834
tried. (Martin Pool)
5835
5836
* Remove obsolete (and no-op) `decode` parameter to `Transport.get`.
5837
(Martin Pool)
5838
5839
* Using Tree Transform for merge, revert, tree-building
5840
5841
* WorkingTree.create, Branch.create, ``WorkingTree.create_standalone``,
5842
Branch.initialize are now deprecated. Please see ``BzrDir.create_*`` for
5843
replacement API's. (Robert Collins)
5844
5845
* New BzrDir class represents the .bzr control directory and manages
5846
formatting issues. (Robert Collins)
5847
5848
* New repository.InterRepository class encapsulates Repository to
5849
Repository actions and allows for clean selection of optimised code
5850
paths. (Robert Collins)
5851
5852
* ``bzrlib.fetch.fetch`` and ``bzrlib.fetch.greedy_fetch`` are now
5853
deprecated, please use ``branch.fetch`` or ``repository.fetch``
5854
depending on your needs. (Robert Collins)
5855
5856
* deprecated methods now have a ``is_deprecated`` flag on them that can
5857
be checked, if you need to determine whether a given callable is
5858
deprecated at runtime. (Robert Collins)
5859
5860
* Progress bars are now nested - see
5861
``bzrlib.ui.ui_factory.nested_progress_bar``.
5862
(Robert Collins, Robey Pointer)
5863
5864
* New API call ``get_format_description()`` for each type of format.
5865
(Olaf Conradi)
5866
5867
* Changed ``branch.set_parent()`` to accept None to remove parent.
5868
(Olaf Conradi)
5869
5870
* Deprecated BzrError AmbiguousBase. (Olaf Conradi)
5871
5872
* WorkingTree.branch is now a read only property. (Robert Collins)
5873
5874
* bzrlib.ui.text.TextUIFactory now accepts a ``bar_type`` parameter which
5875
can be None or a factory that will create a progress bar. This is
5876
useful for testing or for overriding the bzrlib.progress heuristic.
5877
(Robert Collins)
5878
5879
* New API method ``get_physical_lock_status()`` to query locks present on a
5880
transport. (Olaf Conradi)
5881
5882
* Repository.reconcile now takes a thorough keyword parameter to allow
5883
requesting an indepth reconciliation, rather than just a data-loss
5884
check. (Robert Collins)
5885
5886
* ``bzrlib.ui.ui_factory protocol`` now supports ``get_boolean`` to prompt
5887
the user for yes/no style input. (Robert Collins)
5888
5889
TESTING:
5890
5891
* SFTP tests now shortcut the SSH negotiation, reducing test overhead
5892
for testing SFTP protocol support. (Robey Pointer)
5893
5894
* Branch formats are now tested once per implementation (see ``bzrlib.
5895
tests.branch_implementations``. This is analagous to the transport
5896
interface tests, and has been followed up with working tree,
5897
repository and BzrDir tests. (Robert Collins)
5898
5899
* New test base class TestCaseWithTransport provides a transport aware
5900
test environment, useful for testing any transport-interface using
5901
code. The test suite option --transport controls the transport used
5902
by this class (when its not being used as part of implementation
5903
contract testing). (Robert Collins)
5904
5905
* Close logging handler on disabling the test log. This will remove the
5906
handler from the internal list inside python's logging module,
5907
preventing shutdown from closing it twice. (Olaf Conradi)
5908
5909
* Move test case for uncommit to blackbox tests. (Olaf Conradi)
5910
5911
* ``run_bzr`` and ``run_bzr_captured`` now accept a 'stdin="foo"'
5912
parameter which will provide String("foo") to the command as its stdin.

5915
------------------
5916
5917
CHANGES:
5918
5919
* .bzrignore is excluded from exports, on the grounds that it's a bzr
5920
internal-use file and may not be wanted. (Jamie Wilkinson)
5921
5922
* The "bzr directories" command were removed in favor of the new
5923
--kind option to the "bzr inventory" command. To list all
5924
versioned directories, now use "bzr inventory --kind directory".
5925
(Johan Rydberg)
5926
5927
* Under Windows configuration directory is now ``%APPDATA%\bazaar\2.0``
5928
by default. (John Arbash Meinel)
5929
5930
* The parent of Bzr configuration directory can be set by ``BZR_HOME``
5931
environment variable. Now the path for it is searched in ``BZR_HOME``,
5932
then in HOME. Under Windows the order is: ``BZR_HOME``, ``APPDATA``
5933
(usually points to ``C:\Documents and Settings\User Name\Application Data``),
5934
``HOME``. (John Arbash Meinel)
5935
5936
* Plugins with the same name in different directories in the bzr plugin
5937
path are no longer loaded: only the first successfully loaded one is
5938
used. (Robert Collins)
5939
5940
* Use systems' external ssh command to open connections if possible.
5941
This gives better integration with user settings such as ProxyCommand.
5942
(James Henstridge)
5943
5944
* Permissions on files underneath .bzr/ are inherited from the .bzr
5945
directory. So for a shared repository, simply doing 'chmod -R g+w .bzr/'
5946
will mean that future file will be created with group write permissions.
5947
5948
* configure.in and config.guess are no longer in the builtin default
5949
ignore list.
5950
5951
* '.sw[nop]' pattern ignored, to ignore vim swap files for nameless
5952
files. (John Arbash Meinel, Martin Pool)
5953
5954
IMPROVEMENTS:
5955
5956
* "bzr INIT dir" now initializes the specified directory, and creates
5957
it if it does not exist. (John Arbash Meinel)
5958
5959
* New remerge command (Aaron Bentley)
5960
5961
* Better zsh completion script. (Steve Borho)
5962
5963
* 'bzr diff' now returns 1 when there are changes in the working
5964
tree. (Robert Collins)
5965
5966
* 'bzr push' now exists and can push changes to a remote location.
5967
This uses the transport infrastructure, and can store the remote
5968
location in the ~/.bazaar/branches.conf configuration file.
5969
(Robert Collins)
5970
5971
* Test directories are only kept if the test fails and the user requests
5972
that they be kept.
5973
5974
* Tweaks to short log printing
5975
5976
* Added branch nicks, new nick command, printing them in log output.
5977
(Aaron Bentley)
5978
5979
* If ``$BZR_PDB`` is set, pop into the debugger when an uncaught exception
5980
occurs. (Martin Pool)
5981
5982
* Accept 'bzr resolved' (an alias for 'bzr resolve'), as this is
5983
the same as Subversion. (Martin Pool)
5984
5985
* New ftp transport support (on ftplib), for ftp:// and aftp://
5986
URLs. (Daniel Silverstone)
5987
5988
* Commit editor temporary files now start with ``bzr_log.``, to allow
5989
text editors to match the file name and set up appropriate modes or
5990
settings. (Magnus Therning)
5991
5992
* Improved performance when integrating changes from a remote weave.
5993
(Goffredo Baroncelli)
5994
5995
* Sftp will attempt to cache the connection, so it is more likely that
5996
a connection will be reused, rather than requiring multiple password
5997
requests.
5998
5999
* bzr revno now takes an optional argument indicating the branch whose
6000
revno should be printed. (Michael Ellerman)
6001
6002
* bzr cat defaults to printing the last version of the file.
6003
(Matthieu Moy, #3632)
6004
6005
* New global option 'bzr --lsprof COMMAND' runs bzr under the lsprof
6006
profiler. (Denys Duchier)
6007
6008
* Faster commits by reading only the headers of affected weave files.
6009
(Denys Duchier)
6010
6011
* 'bzr add' now takes a --dry-run parameter which shows you what would be
6012
added, but doesn't actually add anything. (Michael Ellerman)
6013
6014
* 'bzr add' now lists how many files were ignored per glob. add --verbose
6015
lists the specific files. (Aaron Bentley)
6016
6017
* 'bzr missing' now supports displaying changes in diverged trees and can
6018
be limited to show what either end of the comparison is missing.
6019
(Aaron Bently, with a little prompting from Daniel Silverstone)
6020
6021
BUG FIXES:
6022
6023
* SFTP can walk up to the root path without index errors. (Robert Collins)
6024
6025
* Fix bugs in running bzr with 'python -O'. (Martin Pool)
6026
6027
* Error when run with -OO
6028
6029
* Fix bug in reporting http errors that don't have an http error code.
6030
(Martin Pool)
6031
6032
* Handle more cases of pipe errors in display commands
6033
6034
* Change status to 3 for all errors
6035
6036
* Files that are added and unlinked before committing are completely
6037
ignored by diff and status
6038
6039
* Stores with some compressed texts and some uncompressed texts are now
6040
able to be used. (John A Meinel)
6041
6042
* Fix for bzr pull failing sometimes under windows
6043
6044
* Fix for sftp transport under windows when using interactive auth
6045
6046
* Show files which are both renamed and modified as such in 'bzr
6047
status' output. (Daniel Silverstone, #4503)
6048
6049
* Make annotate cope better with revisions committed without a valid
6050
email address. (Marien Zwart)
6051
6052
* Fix representation of tab characters in commit messages.
6053
(Harald Meland)
6054
6055
* List of plugin directories in ``BZR_PLUGIN_PATH`` environment variable is
6056
now parsed properly under Windows. (Alexander Belchenko)
6057
6058
* Show number of revisions pushed/pulled/merged. (Robey Pointer)
6059
6060
* Keep a cached copy of the basis inventory to speed up operations
6061
that need to refer to it. (Johan Rydberg, Martin Pool)
6062
6063
* Fix bugs in bzr status display of non-ascii characters.
6064
(Martin Pool)
6065
6066
* Remove Makefile.in from default ignore list.
6067
(Tollef Fog Heen, Martin Pool, #6413)
6068
6069
* Fix failure in 'bzr added'. (Nathan McCallum, Martin Pool)
6070
6071
TESTING:
6072
6073
* Fix selftest asking for passwords when there are no SFTP keys.
6074
(Robey Pointer, Jelmer Vernooij)
6075
6076
* Fix selftest run with 'python -O'. (Martin Pool)
6077
6078
* Fix HTTP tests under Windows. (John Arbash Meinel)
6079
6080
* Make tests work even if HOME is not set (Aaron Bentley)
6081
6082
* Updated ``build_tree`` to use fixed line-endings for tests which read
6083
the file cotents and compare. Make some tests use this to pass under
6084
Windows. (John Arbash Meinel)
6085
6086
* Skip stat and symlink tests under Windows. (Alexander Belchenko)
6087
6088
* Delay in selftest/testhashcash is now issued under win32 and Cygwin.
6089
(John Arbash Meinel)
6090
6091
* Use terminal width to align verbose test output. (Martin Pool)
6092
6093
* Blackbox tests are maintained within the bzrlib.tests.blackbox directory.
6094
If adding a new test script please add that to
6095
``bzrlib.tests.blackbox.__init__``. (Robert Collins)
6096
6097
* Much better error message if one of the test suites can't be
6098
imported. (Martin Pool)
6099
6100
* Make check now runs the test suite twice - once with the default locale,
6101
and once with all locales forced to C, to expose bugs. This is not
6102
trivially done within python, so for now its only triggered by running
6103
Make check. Integrators and packagers who wish to check for full
6104
platform support should run 'make check' to test the source.
6105
(Robert Collins)
6106
6107
* Tests can now run TestSkipped if they can't execute for any reason.
6108
(Martin Pool) (NB: TestSkipped should only be raised for correctable
6109
reasons - see the wiki spec ImprovingBzrTestSuite).
6110
6111
* Test sftp with relative, absolute-in-homedir and absolute-not-in-homedir
6112
paths for the transport tests. Introduce blackbox remote sftp tests that
6113
test the same permutations. (Robert Collins, Robey Pointer)
6114
6115
* Transport implementation tests are now independent of the local file
6116
system, which allows tests for esoteric transports, and for features
6117
not available in the local file system. They also repeat for variations
6118
on the URL scheme that can introduce issues in the transport code,
6119
see bzrlib.transport.TransportTestProviderAdapter() for this.
6120
(Robert Collins).
6121
6122
* ``TestCase.build_tree`` uses the transport interface to build trees,
6123
pass in a transport parameter to give it an existing connection.
6124
(Robert Collins).
6125
6126
INTERNALS:
6127
6128
* WorkingTree.pull has been split across Branch and WorkingTree,
6129
to allow Branch only pulls. (Robert Collins)
6130
6131
* ``commands.display_command`` now returns the result of the decorated
6132
function. (Robert Collins)
6133
6134
* LocationConfig now has a ``set_user_option(key, value)`` call to save
6135
a setting in its matching location section (a new one is created
6136
if needed). (Robert Collins)
6137
6138
* Branch has two new methods, ``get_push_location`` and
6139
``set_push_location`` to respectively, get and set the push location.
6140
(Robert Collins)
6141
6142
* ``commands.register_command`` now takes an optional flag to signal that
6143
the registrant is planning to decorate an existing command. When
6144
given multiple plugins registering a command is not an error, and
6145
the original command class (whether built in or a plugin based one) is
6146
returned to the caller. There is a new error 'MustUseDecorated' for
6147
signalling when a wrapping command should switch to the original
6148
version. (Robert Collins)
6149
6150
* Some option parsing errors will raise 'BzrOptionError', allowing
6151
granular detection for decorating commands. (Robert Collins).
6152
6153
* ``Branch.read_working_inventory`` has moved to
6154
``WorkingTree.read_working_inventory``. This necessitated changes to
6155
``Branch.get_root_id``, and a move of ``Branch.set_inventory`` to
6156
WorkingTree as well. To make it clear that a WorkingTree cannot always
6157
be obtained ``Branch.working_tree()`` will raise
6158
``errors.NoWorkingTree`` if one cannot be obtained. (Robert Collins)
6159
6160
* All pending merges operations from Branch are now on WorkingTree.
6161
(Robert Collins)
6162
6163
* The follow operations from Branch have moved to WorkingTree::
6164
6165
add()
6166
commit()
6167
move()
6168
rename_one()
6169
unknowns()
6170
6171
(Robert Collins)
6172
6173
* ``bzrlib.add.smart_add_branch`` is now ``smart_add_tree``. (Robert Collins)
6174
6175
* New "rio" serialization format, similar to rfc-822. (Martin Pool)
6176
6177
* Rename selftests to ``bzrlib.tests.test_foo``. (John A Meinel, Martin
6178
Pool)
6179
6180
* ``bzrlib.plugin.all_plugins`` has been changed from an attribute to a
6181
query method. (Robert Collins)
6182
6183
* New options to read only the table-of-contents of a weave.
6184
(Denys Duchier)
6185
6186
* Raise NoSuchFile when someone tries to add a non-existant file.
6187
(Michael Ellerman)
6188
6189
* Simplify handling of DivergedBranches in ``cmd_pull()``.
6190
(Michael Ellerman)
6191
6192
* Branch.controlfile* logic has moved to lockablefiles.LockableFiles, which
6193
is exposed as ``Branch().control_files``. Also this has been altered with the
6194
controlfile pre/suffix replaced by simple method names like 'get' and
6195
'put'. (Aaron Bentley, Robert Collins).
6196
6197
* Deprecated functions and methods can now be marked as such using the
6198
``bzrlib.symbol_versioning`` module. Marked method have their docstring
6199
updated and will issue a DeprecationWarning using the warnings module
6200
when they are used. (Robert Collins)
6201
6202
* ``bzrlib.osutils.safe_unicode`` now exists to provide parameter coercion
6203
for functions that need unicode strings. (Robert Collins)
6204
6205
bzr 0.6 2005-10-28
6206
------------------
6207
6208
IMPROVEMENTS:
6209
6210
* pull now takes --verbose to show you what revisions are added or removed
6211
(John A Meinel)
6212
6213
* merge now takes a --show-base option to include the base text in
6214
conflicts.
6215
(Aaron Bentley)
6216
6217
* The config files are now read using ConfigObj, so '=' should be used as
6218
a separator, not ':'.
6219
(Aaron Bentley)
6220
6221
* New 'bzr commit --strict' option refuses to commit if there are
6222
any unknown files in the tree. To commit, make sure all files are
6223
either ignored, added, or deleted. (Michael Ellerman)
6224
6225
* The config directory is now ~/.bazaar, and there is a single file
6226
~/.bazaar/bazaar.conf storing email, editor and other preferences.
6227
(Robert Collins)
6228
6229
* 'bzr add' no longer takes a --verbose option, and a --quiet option
6230
has been added that suppresses all output.
6231
6232
* Improved zsh completion support in contrib/zsh, from Clint
6233
Adams.
6234
6235
* Builtin 'bzr annotate' command, by Martin Pool with improvements from
6236
Goffredo Baroncelli.
6237
6238
* 'bzr check' now accepts -v for verbose reporting, and checks for
6239
ghosts in the branch. (Robert Collins)
6240
6241
* New command 're-sign' which will regenerate the gpg signature for
6242
a revision. (Robert Collins)
6243
6244
* If you set ``check_signatures=require`` for a path in
6245
``~/.bazaar/branches.conf`` then bzr will invoke your
6246
``gpg_signing_command`` (defaults to gpg) and record a digital signature
6247
of your commit. (Robert Collins)
6248
6249
* New sftp transport, based on Paramiko. (Robey Pointer)
6250
6251
* 'bzr pull' now accepts '--clobber' which will discard local changes
6252
and make this branch identical to the source branch. (Robert Collins)
6253
6254
* Just give a quieter warning if a plugin can't be loaded, and
6255
put the details in .bzr.log. (Martin Pool)
6256
6257
* 'bzr branch' will now set the branch-name to the last component of the
6258
output directory, if one was supplied.
6259
6260
* If the option ``post_commit`` is set to one (or more) python function
6261
names (must be in the bzrlib namespace), then they will be invoked
6262
after the commit has completed, with the branch and ``revision_id`` as
6263
parameters. (Robert Collins)
6264
6265
* Merge now has a retcode of 1 when conflicts occur. (Robert Collins)
6266
6267
* --merge-type weave is now supported for file contents. Tree-shape
6268
changes are still three-way based. (Martin Pool, Aaron Bentley)
6269
6270
* 'bzr check' allows the first revision on revision-history to have
6271
parents - something that is expected for cheap checkouts, and occurs
6272
when conversions from baz do not have all history. (Robert Collins).
6273
6274
* 'bzr merge' can now graft unrelated trees together, if your specify
6275
0 as a base. (Aaron Bentley)
6276
6277
* 'bzr commit branch' and 'bzr commit branch/file1 branch/file2' now work
6278
(Aaron Bentley)
6279
6280
* Add '.sconsign*' to default ignore list. (Alexander Belchenko)
6281
6282
* 'bzr merge --reprocess' minimizes conflicts
6283
6284
TESTING:
6285
6286
* The 'bzr selftest --pattern' option for has been removed, now
6287
test specifiers on the command line can be simple strings, or
6288
regexps, or both. (Robert Collins)
6289
6290
* Passing -v to selftest will now show the time each test took to
6291
complete, which will aid in analysing performance regressions and
6292
related questions. (Robert Collins)
6293
6294
* 'bzr selftest' runs all tests, even if one fails, unless '--one'
6295
is given. (Martin Pool)
6296
6297
* There is a new method for TestCaseInTempDir, assertFileEqual, which
6298
will check that a given content is equal to the content of the named
6299
file. (Robert Collins)
6300
6301
* Fix test suite's habit of leaving many temporary log files in $TMPDIR.
6302
(Martin Pool)
6303
6304
INTERNALS:
6305
6306
* New 'testament' command and concept for making gpg-signatures
6307
of revisions that are not tied to a particular internal
6308
representation. (Martin Pool).
6309
6310
* Per-revision properties ('revprops') as key-value associated
6311
strings on each revision created when the revision is committed.
6312
Intended mainly for the use of external tools. (Martin Pool).
6313
6314
* Config options have moved from bzrlib.osutils to bzrlib.config.
6315
(Robert Collins)
6316
6317
* Improved command line option definitions allowing explanations
6318
for individual options, among other things. Contributed by
6319
Magnus Therning.
6320
6321
* Config options have moved from bzrlib.osutils to bzrlib.config.
6322
Configuration is now done via the config.Config interface:
6323
Depending on whether you have a Branch, a Location or no information
6324
available, construct a ``*Config``, and use its ``signature_checking``,
6325
``username`` and ``user_email`` methods. (Robert Collins)
6326
6327
* Plugins are now loaded under bzrlib.plugins, not bzrlib.plugin, and
6328
they are made available for other plugins to use. You should not
6329
import other plugins during the ``__init__`` of your plugin though, as
6330
no ordering is guaranteed, and the plugins directory is not on the
6331
python path. (Robert Collins)
6332
6333
* Branch.relpath has been moved to WorkingTree.relpath. WorkingTree no
6334
no longer takes an inventory, rather it takes an option branch
6335
parameter, and if None is given will open the branch at basedir
6336
implicitly. (Robert Collins)
6337
6338
* Cleaner exception structure and error reporting. Suggested by
6339
Scott James Remnant. (Martin Pool)
6340
6341
* Branch.remove has been moved to WorkingTree, which has also gained
6342
``lock_read``, ``lock_write`` and ``unlock`` methods for convenience.
6343
(Robert Collins)
6344
6345
* Two decorators, ``needs_read_lock`` and ``needs_write_lock`` have been
6346
added to the branch module. Use these to cause a function to run in a
6347
read or write lock respectively. (Robert Collins)
6348
6349
* ``Branch.open_containing`` now returns a tuple (Branch, relative-path),
6350
which allows direct access to the common case of 'get me this file
6351
from its branch'. (Robert Collins)
6352
6353
* Transports can register using ``register_lazy_transport``, and they
6354
will be loaded when first used. (Martin Pool)
6355
6356
* 'pull' has been factored out of the command as ``WorkingTree.pull()``.
6357
A new option to WorkingTree.pull has been added, clobber, which will
6358
ignore diverged history and pull anyway.
6359
(Robert Collins)
6360
6361
* config.Config has a ``get_user_option`` call that accepts an option name.
6362
This will be looked up in branches.conf and bazaar.conf as normal.
6363
It is intended that this be used by plugins to support options -
6364
options of built in programs should have specific methods on the config.
6365
(Robert Collins)
6366
6367
* ``merge.merge_inner`` now has tempdir as an optional parameter.
6368
(Robert Collins)
6369
6370
* Tree.kind is not recorded at the top level of the hierarchy, as it was
6371
missing on EmptyTree, leading to a bug with merge on EmptyTrees.
6372
(Robert Collins)
6373
6374
* ``WorkingTree.__del__`` has been removed, it was non deterministic and not
6375
doing what it was intended to. See ``WorkingTree.__init__`` for a comment
6376
about future directions. (Robert Collins/Martin Pool)
6377
6378
* bzrlib.transport.http has been modified so that only 404 urllib errors
6379
are returned as NoSuchFile. Other exceptions will propogate as normal.
6380
This allows debuging of actual errors. (Robert Collins)
6381
6382
* bzrlib.transport.Transport now accepts *ONLY* url escaped relative paths
6383
to apis like 'put', 'get' and 'has'. This is to provide consistent
6384
behaviour - it operates on url's only. (Robert Collins)
6385
6386
* Transports can register using ``register_lazy_transport``, and they
6387
will be loaded when first used. (Martin Pool)
6388
6389
* ``merge_flex`` no longer calls ``conflict_handler.finalize()``, instead that
6390
is called by ``merge_inner``. This is so that the conflict count can be
6391
retrieved (and potentially manipulated) before returning to the caller
6392
of ``merge_inner``. Likewise 'merge' now returns the conflict count to the
6393
caller. (Robert Collins)
6394
6395
* ``revision.revision_graph`` can handle having only partial history for
6396
a revision - that is no revisions in the graph with no parents.
6397
(Robert Collins).
6398
6399
* New ``builtins.branch_files`` uses the standard ``file_list`` rules to
6400
produce a branch and a list of paths, relative to that branch
6401
(Aaron Bentley)
6402
6403
* New TestCase.addCleanup facility.
6404
6405
* New ``bzrlib.version_info`` tuple (similar to ``sys.version_info``),
6406
which can be used by programs importing bzrlib.
6407
6408
BUG FIXES:
6409
6410
* Better handling of branches in directories with non-ascii names.
6411
(Joel Rosdahl, Panagiotis Papadakos)
6412
6413
* Upgrades of trees with no commits will not fail due to accessing
6414
[-1] in the revision-history. (Andres Salomon)

6417
bzr 0.1.1 2005-10-12
6418
--------------------
6419
6420
BUG FIXES:
6421
6422
* Fix problem in pulling over http from machines that do not
6423
allow directories to be listed.
6424
6425
* Avoid harmless warning about invalid hash cache after
6426
upgrading branch format.

bzr 0.1 2005-10-11
6434
------------------
6435
6436
NOTES:
6437
6438
* 'bzr branch' over http initially gives a very high estimate
6439
of completion time but it should fall as the first few
6440
revisions are pulled in. branch is still slow on
6441
high-latency connections.
6442
6443
BUG FIXES:
6444
6445
* bzr-man.py has been updated to work again. Contributed by
6446
Rob Weir.
6447
6448
* Locking is now done with fcntl.lockf which works with NFS
6449
file systems. Contributed by Harald Meland.
6450
6451
* When a merge encounters a file that has been deleted on
6452
one side and modified on the other, the old contents are
6453
written out to foo.BASE and foo.SIDE, where SIDE is this
6454
or OTHER. Contributed by Aaron Bentley.
6455
6456
* Export was choosing incorrect file paths for the content of
6457
the tarball, this has been fixed by Aaron Bentley.
6458
6459
* Commit will no longer commit without a log message, an
6460
error is returned instead. Contributed by Jelmer Vernooij.
6461
6462
* If you commit a specific file in a sub directory, any of its
6463
parent directories that are added but not listed will be
6464
automatically included. Suggested by Michael Ellerman.
6465
6466
* bzr commit and upgrade did not correctly record new revisions
6467
for files with only a change to their executable status.
6468
bzr will correct this when it encounters it. Fixed by
6469
Robert Collins
6470
6471
* HTTP tests now force off the use of ``http_proxy`` for the duration.
6472
Contributed by Gustavo Niemeyer.
6473
6474
* Fix problems in merging weave-based branches that have
6475
different partial views of history.
6476
6477
* Symlink support: working with symlinks when not in the root of a
6478
bzr tree was broken, patch from Scott James Remnant.
6479
6480
IMPROVEMENTS:
6481
6482
* 'branch' now accepts a --basis parameter which will take advantage
6483
of local history when making a new branch. This allows faster
6484
branching of remote branches. Contributed by Aaron Bentley.
6485
6486
* New tree format based on weave files, called version 5.
6487
Existing branches can be upgraded to this format using
6488
'bzr upgrade'.
6489
6490
* Symlinks are now versionable. Initial patch by
6491
Erik Toubro Nielsen, updated to head by Robert Collins.
6492
6493
* Executable bits are tracked on files. Patch from Gustavo
6494
Niemeyer.
6495
6496
* 'bzr status' now shows unknown files inside a selected directory.
6497
Patch from Heikki Paajanen.
6498
6499
* Merge conflicts are recorded in .bzr. Two new commands 'conflicts'
6500
and 'resolve' have needed added, which list and remove those
6501
merge conflicts respectively. A conflicted tree cannot be committed
6502
in. Contributed by Aaron Bentley.
6503
6504
* 'rm' is now an alias for 'remove'.
6505
6506
* Stores now split out their content in a single byte prefixed hash,
6507
dropping the density of files per directory by 256. Contributed by
6508
Gustavo Niemeyer.
6509
6510
* 'bzr diff -r branch:URL' will now perform a diff between two branches.
6511
Contributed by Robert Collins.
6512
6513
* 'bzr log' with the default formatter will show merged revisions,
6514
indented to the right. Initial implementation contributed by Gustavo
6515
Niemeyer, made incremental by Robert Collins.
6516
6517
6518
INTERNALS:
6519
6520
* Test case failures have the exception printed after the log
6521
for your viewing pleasure.
6522
6523
* InventoryEntry is now an abstract base class, use one of the
6524
concrete InventoryDirectory etc classes instead.
6525
6526
* Branch raises an UnsupportedFormatError when it detects a
6527
bzr branch it cannot understand. This allows for precise
6528
handling of such circumstances.
6529
6530
* Remove RevisionReference class; ``Revision.parent_ids`` is now simply a
6531
list of their ids and ``parent_sha1s`` is a list of their corresponding
6532
sha1s (for old branches only at the moment.)
6533
6534
* New method-object style interface for Commit() and Fetch().
6535
6536
* Renamed ``Branch.last_patch()`` to ``Branch.last_revision()``, since
6537
we call them revisions not patches.
6538
6539
* Move ``copy_branch`` to ``bzrlib.clone.copy_branch``. The destination
6540
directory is created if it doesn't exist.
6541
6542
* Inventories now identify the files which were present by
6543
giving the revision *of that file*.
6544
6545
* Inventory and Revision XML contains a version identifier.
6546
This must be consistent with the overall branch version
6547
but allows for more flexibility in future upgrades.
6548
6549
TESTING:
6550
6551
* Removed testsweet module so that tests can be run after
6552
bzr installed by 'bzr selftest'.
6553
6554
* 'bzr selftest' command-line arguments can now be partial ids
6555
of tests to run, e.g. ``bzr selftest test_weave``
6556

6558
bzr 0.0.9 2005-09-23
6559
--------------------
6560
6561
BUG FIXES:
6562
6563
* Fixed "branch -r" option.
6564
6565
* Fix remote access to branches containing non-compressed history.
6566
(Robert Collins).
6567
6568
* Better reliability of http server tests. (John Arbash-Meinel)
6569
6570
* Merge graph maximum distance calculation fix. (Aaron Bentley)
6571
6572
* Various minor bug in windows support have been fixed, largely in the
6573
test suite. Contributed by Alexander Belchenko.
6574
6575
IMPROVEMENTS:
6576
6577
* Status now accepts a -r argument to give status between chosen
6578
revisions. Contributed by Heikki Paajanen.
6579
6580
* Revision arguments no longer use +/-/= to control ranges, instead
6581
there is a 'before' namespace, which limits the successive namespace.
6582
For example '$ bzr log -r date:yesterday..before:date:today' will
6583
select everything from yesterday and before today. Contributed by
6584
Robey Pointer
6585
6586
* There is now a bzr.bat file created by distutils when building on
6587
Windows. Contributed by Alexander Belchenko.
6588
6589
INTERNALS:
6590
6591
* Removed uuid() as it was unused.
6592
6593
* Improved 'fetch' code for pulling revisions from one branch into
6594
another (used by pull, merged, etc.)
6595
6596
6597
bzr 0.0.8 2005-09-20
6598
--------------------
6599
6600
IMPROVEMENTS:
6601
6602
* Adding a file whose parent directory is not versioned will
6603
implicitly add the parent, and so on up to the root. This means
6604
you should never need to explictly add a directory, they'll just
6605
get added when you add a file in the directory. Contributed by
6606
Michael Ellerman.
6607
6608
* Ignore ``.DS_Store`` (contains Mac metadata) by default.
6609
(Nir Soffer)
6610
6611
* If you set ``BZR_EDITOR`` in the environment, it is checked in
6612
preference to EDITOR and the config file for the interactive commit
6613
editing program. Related to this is a bugfix where a missing program
6614
set in EDITOR would cause editing to fail, now the fallback program
6615
for the operating system is still tried.
6616
6617
* Files that are not directories/symlinks/regular files will no longer
6618
cause bzr to fail, it will just ignore them by default. You cannot add
6619
them to the tree though - they are not versionable.
6620
6621
6622
INTERNALS:
6623
6624
* Refactor xml packing/unpacking.
6625
6626
BUG FIXES:
6627
6628
* Fixed 'bzr mv' by Ollie Rutherfurd.
6629
6630
* Fixed strange error when trying to access a nonexistent http
6631
branch.
6632
6633
* Make sure that the hashcache gets written out if it can't be
6634
read.
6635
6636
6637
PORTABILITY:
6638
6639
* Various Windows fixes from Ollie Rutherfurd.
6640
6641
* Quieten warnings about locking; patch from Matt Lavin.

6643
6644
bzr-0.0.7 2005-09-02
6645
--------------------
6646
6647
NEW FEATURES:
6648
6649
* ``bzr shell-complete`` command contributed by Clint Adams to
6650
help with intelligent shell completion.
6651
6652
* New expert command ``bzr find-merge-base`` for debugging merges.
6653
6654
6655
ENHANCEMENTS:
6656
6657
* Much better merge support.
6658
6659
* merge3 conflicts are now reported with markers like '<<<<<<<'
6660
(seven characters) which is the same as CVS and pleases things
6661
like emacs smerge.
6662
6663
6664
BUG FIXES:
6665
6666
* ``bzr upgrade`` no longer fails when trying to fix trees that
6667
mention revisions that are not present.
6668
6669
* Fixed bugs in listing plugins from ``bzr plugins``.
6670
6671
* Fix case of $EDITOR containing options for the editor.
6672
6673
* Fix log -r refusing to show the last revision.
6674
(Patch from Goffredo Baroncelli.)
6675
6676
6677
CHANGES:
6678
6679
* ``bzr log --show-ids`` shows the revision ids of all parents.
6680
6681
* Externally provided commands on your $BZRPATH no longer need
6682
to recognize --bzr-usage to work properly, and can just handle
6683
--help themselves.
6684
6685
6686
LIBRARY:
6687
6688
* Changed trace messages to go through the standard logging
6689
framework, so that they can more easily be redirected by
6690
libraries.
6691
6692
6693
6694
bzr-0.0.6 2005-08-18
6695
--------------------
6696
6697
NEW FEATURES:
6698
6699
* Python plugins, automatically loaded from the directories on
6700
``BZR_PLUGIN_PATH`` or ``~/.bzr.conf/plugins`` by default.
6701
6702
* New 'bzr mkdir' command.
6703
6704
* Commit mesage is fetched from an editor if not given on the
6705
command line; patch from Torsten Marek.
6706
6707
* ``bzr log -m FOO`` displays commits whose message matches regexp
6708
FOO.
6709
6710
* ``bzr add`` with no arguments adds everything under the current directory.
6711
6712
* ``bzr mv`` does move or rename depending on its arguments, like
6713
the Unix command.
6714
6715
* ``bzr missing`` command shows a summary of the differences
6716
between two trees. (Merged from John Arbash-Meinel.)
6717
6718
* An email address for commits to a particular tree can be
6719
specified by putting it into .bzr/email within a branch. (Based
6720
on a patch from Heikki Paajanen.)
6721
6722
6723
ENHANCEMENTS:
6724
6725
* Faster working tree operations.
6726
6727
6728
CHANGES:
6729
6730
* 3rd-party modules shipped with bzr are copied within the bzrlib
6731
python package, so that they can be installed by the setup
6732
script without clashing with anything already existing on the
6733
system. (Contributed by Gustavo Niemeyer.)
6734
6735
* Moved plugins directory to bzrlib/, so that there's a standard
6736
plugin directory which is not only installed with bzr itself but
6737
is also available when using bzr from the development tree.
6738
``BZR_PLUGIN_PATH`` and ``DEFAULT_PLUGIN_PATH`` are then added to the
6739
standard plugins directory.
6740
6741
* When exporting to a tarball with ``bzr export --format tgz``, put
6742
everything under a top directory rather than dumping it into the
6743
current directory. This can be overridden with the ``--root``
6744
option. Patch from William Dodé and John Meinel.
6745
6746
* New ``bzr upgrade`` command to upgrade the format of a branch,
6747
replacing ``bzr check --update``.
6748
6749
* Files within store directories are no longer marked readonly on
6750
disk.
6751
6752
* Changed ``bzr log`` output to a more compact form suggested by
6753
John A Meinel. Old format is available with the ``--long`` or
6754
``-l`` option, patched by William Dodé.
6755
6756
* By default the commit command refuses to record a revision with
6757
no changes unless the ``--unchanged`` option is given.
6758
6759
* The ``--no-plugins``, ``--profile`` and ``--builtin`` command
6760
line options must come before the command name because they
6761
affect what commands are available; all other options must come
6762
after the command name because their interpretation depends on
6763
it.
6764
6765
* ``branch`` and ``clone`` added as aliases for ``branch``.
6766
6767
* Default log format is back to the long format; the compact one
6768
is available with ``--short``.
6769
6770
6771
BUG FIXES:
6772
6773
* Fix bugs in committing only selected files or within a subdirectory.
6774
6775
6776
bzr-0.0.5 2005-06-15
6777
---------------------
6778
6779
CHANGES:
6780
6781
* ``bzr`` with no command now shows help rather than giving an
6782
error. Suggested by Michael Ellerman.
6783
6784
* ``bzr status`` output format changed, because svn-style output
6785
doesn't really match the model of bzr. Now files are grouped by
6786
status and can be shown with their IDs. ``bzr status --all``
6787
shows all versioned files and unknown files but not ignored files.
6788
6789
* ``bzr log`` runs from most-recent to least-recent, the reverse
6790
of the previous order. The previous behaviour can be obtained
6791
with the ``--forward`` option.
6792
6793
* ``bzr inventory`` by default shows only filenames, and also ids
6794
if ``--show-ids`` is given, in which case the id is the second
6795
field.
6796
6797
6798
ENHANCEMENTS:
6799
6800
* New 'bzr whoami --email' option shows only the email component
6801
of the user identification, from Jo Vermeulen.
6802
6803
* New ``bzr ignore PATTERN`` command.
6804
6805
* Nicer error message for broken pipe, interrupt and similar
6806
conditions that don't indicate an internal error.
6807
6808
* Add ``.*.sw[nop] .git .*.tmp *,v`` to default ignore patterns.
6809
6810
* Per-branch locks keyed on ``.bzr/branch-lock``, available in
6811
either read or write mode.
6812
6813
* New option ``bzr log --show-ids`` shows revision and file ids.
6814
6815
* New usage ``bzr log FILENAME`` shows only revisions that
6816
affected that file.
6817
6818
* Changed format for describing changes in ``bzr log -v``.
6819
6820
* New option ``bzr commit --file`` to take a message from a file,
6821
suggested by LarstiQ.
6822
6823
* New syntax ``bzr status [FILE...]`` contributed by Bartosz
6824
Oler. File may be in a branch other than the working directory.
6825
6826
* ``bzr log`` and ``bzr root`` can be given an http URL instead of
6827
a filename.
6828
6829
* Commands can now be defined by external programs or scripts
6830
in a directory on $BZRPATH.
6831
6832
* New "stat cache" avoids reading the contents of files if they
6833
haven't changed since the previous time.
6834
6835
* If the Python interpreter is too old, try to find a better one
6836
or give an error. Based on a patch from Fredrik Lundh.
6837
6838
* New optional parameter ``bzr info [BRANCH]``.
6839
6840
* New form ``bzr commit SELECTED`` to commit only selected files.
6841
6842
* New form ``bzr log -r FROM:TO`` shows changes in selected
6843
range; contributed by John A Meinel.
6844
6845
* New option ``bzr diff --diff-options 'OPTS'`` allows passing
6846
options through to an external GNU diff.
6847
6848
* New option ``bzr add --no-recurse`` to add a directory but not
6849
their contents.
6850
6851
* ``bzr --version`` now shows more information if bzr is being run
6852
from a branch.
6853
6854
6855
BUG FIXES:
6856
6857
* Fixed diff format so that added and removed files will be
6858
handled properly by patch. Fix from Lalo Martins.
6859
6860
* Various fixes for files whose names contain spaces or other
6861
metacharacters.
6862
6863
6864
TESTING:
6865
6866
* Converted black-box test suites from Bourne shell into Python;
6867
now run using ``./testbzr``. Various structural improvements to
6868
the tests.
6869
6870
* testbzr by default runs the version of bzr found in the same
6871
directory as the tests, or the one given as the first parameter.
6872
6873
* testbzr also runs the internal tests, so the only command
6874
required to check is just ``./testbzr``.
6875
6876
* testbzr requires python2.4, but can be used to test bzr running
6877
under a different version.
6878
6879
* Tests added for many other changes in this release.
6880
6881
6882
INTERNAL:
6883
6884
* Included ElementTree library upgraded to 1.2.6 by Fredrik Lundh.
6885
6886
* Refactor command functions into Command objects based on HCT by
6887
Scott James Remnant.
6888
6889
* Better help messages for many commands.
6890
6891
* Expose ``bzrlib.open_tracefile()`` to start the tracefile; until
6892
this is called trace messages are just discarded.
6893
6894
* New internal function ``find_touching_revisions()`` and hidden
6895
command touching-revisions trace the changes to a given file.
6896
6897
* Simpler and faster ``compare_inventories()`` function.
6898
6899
* ``bzrlib.open_tracefile()`` takes a tracefilename parameter.
6900
6901
* New AtomicFile class.
6902
6903
* New developer commands ``added``, ``modified``.
6904
6905
6906
PORTABILITY:
6907
6908
* Cope on Windows on python2.3 by using the weaker random seed.
6909
2.4 is now only recommended.

bzr-0.0.4 2005-04-22
6913
---------------------
6914
6915
ENHANCEMENTS:
6916
6917
* 'bzr diff' optionally takes a list of files to diff. Still a bit
6918
basic. Patch from QuantumG.
6919
6920
* More default ignore patterns.
6921
6922
* New 'bzr log --verbose' shows a list of files changed in the
6923
changeset. Patch from Sebastian Cote.
6924
6925
* Roll over ~/.bzr.log if it gets too large.
6926
6927
* Command abbreviations 'ci', 'st', 'stat', '?' based on a patch
6928
by Jason Diamon.
6929
6930
* New 'bzr help commands' based on a patch from Denys Duchier.
6931
6932
6933
CHANGES:
6934
6935
* User email is determined by looking at $BZREMAIL or ~/.bzr.email
6936
or $EMAIL. All are decoded by the locale preferred encoding.
6937
If none of these are present user@hostname is used. The host's
6938
fully-qualified name is not used because that tends to fail when
6939
there are DNS problems.
6940
6941
* New 'bzr whoami' command instead of username user-email.
6942
6943
6944
BUG FIXES:
6945
6946
* Make commit safe for hardlinked bzr trees.
6947
6948
* Some Unicode/locale fixes.
6949
6950
* Partial workaround for ``difflib.unified_diff`` not handling
6951
trailing newlines properly.
6952
6953
6954
INTERNAL:
6955
6956
* Allow docstrings for help to be in PEP0257 format. Patch from
6957
Matt Brubeck.
6958
6959
* More tests in test.sh.
6960
6961
* Write profile data to a temporary file not into working
6962
directory and delete it when done.
6963
6964
* Smaller .bzr.log with process ids.
6965
6966
6967
PORTABILITY:
6968
6969
* Fix opening of ~/.bzr.log on Windows. Patch from Andrew
6970
Bennetts.
6971
6972
* Some improvements in handling paths on Windows, based on a patch
6973
from QuantumG.
