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

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
* The C extensions now build on python 2.4 (Robert Collins, #271939)
47
48
BUG FIXES:
49
50
* Branching from a shared repository on a smart server into a new
51
repository now preserves the repository format.
52
(Andrew Bennetts, #269214)
53
54
* ``bzr missing`` now accepts an ``--include-merges`` option.
55
(Vincent Ladeuil, #233817)
56
57
* Don't try to filter (internally) '.bzr' from the files to be deleted if
58
it's not there.
59
(Vincent Ladeuil, #272648)
60
61
* Fix '_in_buffer' AttributeError when using the -Dhpss debug flag.
62
(Andrew Bennetts)
63
64
* Fix TooManyConcurrentRequests errors caused by a connection failure
65
when doing ``bzr pull`` or ``bzr merge`` from a ``bzr+ssh`` URL.
66
(Andrew Bennetts, #246233)
67
68
* Fixed ``bzr st -r branch:PATH_TO_BRANCH`` where the other branch
69
is in a different repository than the current one.
70
(Lukáš Lalinský, #144421)
71
72
* Make the first line of the manpage preamble a comment again.
73
(David Futcher, #242106)
74
75
DOCUMENTATION:
76
77
* Explain revision/range identifiers. (Daniel Clemente)
78
79
API CHANGES:
80
81
TESTING:
82
83
* ``bzrlib.tests.repository_implementations`` has been renamed to
84
``bzrlib.tests.per_repository`` so that we have a common structure
85
(and it is shorter). (John Arbash Meinel, #239343)
86
87
* ``LocalTransport.abspath()`` now returns a drive letter if the
88
transport has one, fixing numerous tests on Windows.
89
(Mark Hammond)
90
91
* The full test suite is passing again on OSX.
92
(Guillermo Gonzalez, Vincent Ladeuil)
93
94
* PreviewTree is now tested via intertree_implementations.
95
(Aaron Bentley)
96
97
INTERNALS:
98
99
* A new hook, ``Branch.open``, has been added, which is called when
100
branch objects are opened. (Robert Collins)
101
102
* ``bzrlib.osutils._walkdirs_utf8`` has been refactored into common
103
tree walking, and modular directory listing code to aid future
104
performance optimisations and refactoring. (Robert Collins)
105
106
* New method ``RevisionSpec.as_tree`` for representing the revision
107
specifier as a revision tree object. (Lukáš Lalinský)
108
109
* New win32utils.get_local_appdata_location() provides access to a local
110
directory for storing data. (Mark Hammond)
111
112
113
bzr 1.7 2008-09-23
114
------------------
115
116
This release includes many bug fixes and a few performance and feature
117
improvements. ``bzr rm`` will now scan for missing files and remove them,
118
like how ``bzr add`` scans for unknown files and adds them. A bit more
119
polish has been applied to the stacking code. The b-tree indexing code has
120
been brought in, with an eye on using it in a future repository format.
121
There are only minor installer changes since bzr-1.7rc2.
122
123
FEATURES
124
125
* Some small updates to the win32 installer. Include localization
126
files found in plugins, and include the builtin distutils as part of
127
packaging qbzr. (Mark Hammond)
128
129
130
bzr 1.7rc2 2008-09-17
131
---------------------
132
133
A few bug fixes from 1.7rc1. The biggest change is a new
134
``RemoteBranch.get_stacked_on_url`` rpc. This allows clients that are
135
trying to access a Stacked branch over the smart protocol, to properly
136
connect to the stacked-on location.
137
138
BUG FIXES:
139
140
* Branching from a shared repository on a smart server into a new
141
repository now preserves the repository format.
142
(Andrew Bennetts, #269214)
143
144
* Branching from a stacked branch via ``bzr+ssh`` can properly connect
145
to the stacked-on branch. (Martin Pool, #261315)
146
147
* ``bzr init`` no longer re-opens the BzrDir multiple times.
148
(Vincent Ladeuil)
149
150
* Fix '_in_buffer' AttributeError when using the -Dhpss debug flag.
151
(Andrew Bennetts)
152
153
154
bzr 1.7rc1 2008-09-09
155
---------------------
156
157
This release candidate for bzr 1.7 has several bug fixes and a few
158
performance and feature improvements. ``bzr rm`` will now scan for
159
missing files and remove them, like how ``bzr add`` scans for unknown
160
files and adds them. A bit more polish has been applied to the stacking
161
code. The b-tree indexing code has been brought in, with an eye on using
162
it in a future repository format.
163
164
165
CHANGES:
166
167
* ``bzr export`` can now export a subdirectory of a project.
168
(Robert Collins)
169
170
* ``bzr remove-tree`` will now refuse to remove a tree with uncommitted
171
changes, unless the ``--force`` option is specified.
172
(Lukáš Lalinský, #74101)
173
174
* ``bzr rm`` will now scan for files that are missing and remove just
175
them automatically, much as ``bzr add`` scans for new files that
176
are not ignored and adds them automatically. (Robert Collins)
177
178
FEATURES
179
180
* Support for GSSAPI authentication when using FTP as documented in
181
RFC2228. (Jelmer Vernooij, #49623)
182
183
* Add support for IPv6 in the smart server. (Jelmer Vernooij, #165014)
184
185
IMPROVEMENTS:
186
187
* A url like ``log+file:///tmp`` will log all access to that Transport
188
to ``.bzr.log``, which may help in debugging or profiling.
189
(Martin Pool)
190
191
* ``bzr branch`` and ``bzr push`` use the default stacking policy if the
192
branch format supports it. (Aaron Bentley)
193
194
* ``bzr init`` and ``bzr init-repo`` will now print out the same as
195
``bzr info`` if it completed successfully.
196
(Marius Kruger)
197
198
* ``bzr uncommit`` logs the old tip revision id, and displays how to
199
restore the branch to that tip using ``bzr pull``. This allows you
200
to recover if you realize you uncommitted the wrong thing.
201
(John Arbash Meinel)
202
203
* Fix problems in accessing stacked repositories over ``bzr://``.
204
(Martin Pool, #261315)
205
206
* ``SFTPTransport.readv()`` was accidentally using ``list += string``,
207
which 'works', but adds each character separately to the list,
208
rather than using ``list.append(string)``. Fixing this makes the
209
SFTP transport a little bit faster (~20%) and use a bit less memory.
210
(John Arbash Meinel)
211
212
* When reading index files, if we happen to read the whole file in a
213
single request treat it as a ``_buffer_all`` request. This happens
214
most often on small indexes over remote transports, where we default
215
to reading 64kB. It saves a round trip for each small index during
216
fetch operations. Also, if we have read more than 50% of an index
217
file, trigger a ``_buffer_all`` on the next request. This works
218
around some inefficiencies because reads don't fall neatly on page
219
boundaries, so we would ignore those bytes, but request them again
220
later. This could trigger a total read size of more than the whole
221
file. (John Arbash Meinel)
222
223
BUG FIXES:
224
225
* ``bzr rm`` is now aliased to ``bzr del`` for the convenience of svn
226
users. (Robert Collins, #205416)
227
228
* Catch the infamous "select/poll returned error" which occurs when
229
pycurl try to send a body request to an HTTP/1.0 server which has
230
already refused to handle the request. (Vincent Ladeuil, #225020)
231
232
* Fix ``ObjectNotLocked`` errors when using various commands
233
(including ``bzr cat`` and ``bzr annotate``) in combination with a
234
smart server URL. (Andrew Bennetts, #237067)
235
236
* ``FTPTransport.stat()`` would return ``0000`` as the permission bits
237
for the containing ``.bzr/`` directory (it does not implement
238
permissions). This would cause us to set all subdirectories to
239
``0700`` and files to ``0600`` rather than leaving them unmodified.
240
Now we ignore ``0000`` as the permissions and assume they are
241
invalid. (John Arbash Meinel, #259855)
242
243
* Merging from a previously joined branch will no longer cause
244
a traceback. (Jelmer Vernooij, #203376)
245
246
* Pack operations on windows network shares will work even with large
247
files. (Robert Collins, #255656)
248
249
* Running ``bzr st PATH_TO_TREE`` will no longer suppress merge
250
status. Status is also about 7% faster on mozilla sized trees
251
when the path to the root of the tree has been given. Users of
252
the internal ``show_tree_status`` function should be aware that
253
the show_pending flag is now authoritative for showing pending
254
merges, as it was originally. (Robert Collins, #225204)
255
256
* Set valid default _param_name for Option so that ListOption can embed
257
'-' in names. (Vincent Ladeuil, #263249)
258
259
* Show proper error rather than traceback when an unknown revision
260
id is specified to ``bzr cat-revision``. (Jelmer Vernooij, #175569)
261
262
* Trailing text in the dirstate file could cause the C dirstate parser
263
to try to allocate an invalid amount of memory. We now properly
264
check and test for parsing a dirstate with invalid trailing data.
265
(John Arbash Meinel, #186014)
266
267
* Unexpected error responses from a smart server no longer cause the
268
client to traceback. (Andrew Bennetts, #263527)
269
270
* Use a Windows api function to get a Unicode host name, rather than
271
assuming the host name is ascii.
272
(Mark Hammond, John Arbash Meinel, #256550)
273
274
* ``WorkingTree4`` trees will now correctly report missing-and-new
275
paths in the output of ``iter_changes``. (Robert Collins)
276
277
DOCUMENTATION:
278
279
* Updated developer documentation. (Martin Pool)
280
281
API CHANGES:
282
283
* Exporters now take 4 parameters. (Robert Collins)
284
285
* ``Tree.iter_changes`` will now return False for the content change
286
field when a file is missing in the basis tree and not present in
287
the target tree. Previously it returned True unconditionally.
288
(Robert Collins)
289
290
* The deprecated ``Branch.abspath`` and unimplemented
291
``Branch.rename_one`` and ``Branch.move`` were removed. (Jelmer Vernooij)
292
293
* BzrDir.clone_on_transport implementations must now accept a stacked_on
294
parameter. (Aaron Bentley)
295
296
* BzrDir.cloning_metadir implementations must now take a require_stacking
297
parameter. (Aaron Bentley)
298
299
TESTING:
300
301
* ``addCleanup`` now takes ``*arguments`` and ``**keyword_arguments``
302
which are then passed to the cleanup callable as it is run. In
303
addition, addCleanup no longer requires that the callables passed to
304
it be unique. (Jonathan Lange)
305
306
* Fix some tests that fail on Windows because files are deleted while
307
still in use.
308
(Mark Hammond)
309
310
* ``selftest``'s ``--starting-with`` option can now use predefined
311
prefixes so that one can say ``bzr selftest -s bp.loom`` instead of
312
``bzr selftest -s bzrlib.plugins.loom``. (Vincent Ladeuil)
313
314
* ``selftest``'s ``--starting-with`` option now accepts multiple values.
315
(Vincent Ladeuil)
316
317
INTERNALS:
318
319
* A new plugin interface, ``bzrlib.log.log_adapters``, has been added.
320
This allows dynamic log output filtering by plugins.
321
(Robert Collins)
322
323
* ``bzrlib.btree_index`` is now available, providing a b-tree index
324
layer. The design is memory conservative (limited memory cache),
325
faster to seek (approx 100 nodes per page, gives 100-way fan out),
326
and stores compressed pages allowing more keys per page.
327
(Robert Collins, John Arbash Meinel)
328
329
* ``bzrlib.diff.DiffTree.show_diff`` now skips changes where the kind
330
is unknown in both source and target.
331
(Robert Collins, Aaron Bentley)
332
333
* ``GraphIndexBuilder.add_node`` and ``BTreeBuilder`` have been
334
streamlined a bit. This should make creating large indexes faster.
335
(In benchmarking, it now takes less time to create a BTree index than
336
it takes to read the GraphIndex one.) (John Arbash Meinel)
337
338
* Mail clients for `bzr send` are now listed in a registry. This
339
allows plugins to add new clients by registering them with
340
``bzrlib.mail_client.mail_client_registry``. All of the built-in
341
clients now use this mechanism. (Neil Martinsen-Burrell)
342
343
344
bzr 1.6.1 2008-09-05
345
--------------------
346
347
A couple regressions were found in the 1.6 release. There was a
348
performance issue when using ``bzr+ssh`` to branch large repositories,
349
and some problems with stacking and ``rich-root`` capable repositories.
350
351
352
bzr 1.6.1rc2 2008-09-03
353
-----------------------
354
355
BUG FIXES:
356
357
* Copying between ``rich-root`` and ``rich-root-pack`` (and vice
358
versa) was accidentally using the inter-model fetcher, instead of
359
recognizing that both were 'rich root' formats.
360
(John Arbash Meinel, #264321)
361
362
363
bzr 1.6.1rc1 2008-08-29
364
-----------------------
365
366
This release fixes a few regressions found in the 1.6 client. Fetching
367
changes was using an O(N^2) buffering algorithm, so for large projects it
368
would cause memory thrashing. There is also a specific problem with the
369
``--1.6-rich-root`` format, which prevented stacking on top of
370
``--rich-root-pack`` repositories, and could allow users to accidentally
371
fetch experimental data (``-subtree``) without representing it properly.
372
The ``--1.6-rich-root`` format has been deprecated and users are
373
recommended to upgrade to ``--1.6.1-rich-root`` immediately. Also we
374
re-introduced a workaround for users who have repositories with incorrect
375
nodes (not possible if you only used official releases).
376
I should also clarify that none of this is data loss level issues, but
377
still sufficient enough to warrant an updated release.
378
379
BUG FIXES:
380
381
* ``RemoteTransport.readv()`` was being inefficient about how it
382
buffered the readv data and processed it. It would keep appending to
383
the same string (causing many copies) and then pop bytes out of the
384
start of the string (causing more copies).
385
With this patch "bzr+ssh://local" can improve dramatically,
386
especially for projects with large files.
387
(John Arbash Meinel)
388
389
* Revision texts were always meant to be stored as fulltexts. There
390
was a bug in a bzr.dev version that would accidentally create deltas
391
when copying from a Pack repo to a Knit repo. This has been fixed,
392
but to support those repositories, we know always request full texts
393
for Revision texts. (John Arbash Meinel, #261339)
394
395
* The previous ``--1.6-rich-root`` format used an incorrect xml
396
serializer, which would accidentally support fetching from a
397
repository that supported subtrees, even though the local one would
398
not. We deprecated that format, and introduced a new one that uses
399
the correct serializer ``--1.6.1-rich-root``.
400
(John Arbash Meinel, #262333)
401
402
403
bzr 1.6 2008-08-25
404
------------------
405
406
Finally, the long awaited bzr 1.6 has been released. This release includes
407
new features like Stacked Branches, improved weave merge, and an updated
408
server protocol (now on v3) which will allow for better cross version
409
compatibility. With this release we have deprecated Knit format
410
repositories, and recommend that users upgrade them, we will continue to
411
support reading and writing them for the forseeable future, but we will
412
not be tuning them for performance as pack repositories have proven to be
413
better at scaling. This will also be the first release to bundle
414
TortoiseBzr in the standalone Windows installer.
415
416
417
bzr 1.6rc5 2008-08-19
418
---------------------
419
420
BUG FIXES:
421
422
* Disable automatic detection of stacking based on a containing
423
directory of the target. It interacted badly with push, and needs a
424
bit more work to get the edges polished before it should happen
425
automatically. (John Arbash Meinel, #259275)
426
(This change was reverted when merged to bzr.dev)
427
428
429
bzr 1.6rc4 2008-08-18
430
---------------------
431
432
BUG FIXES:
433
434
* Fix a regression in knit => pack fetching. We had a logic
435
inversion, causing the fetch to insert fulltexts in random order,
436
rather than preserving deltas. (John Arbash Meinel, #256757)
437
438
439
bzr 1.6rc3 2008-08-14
440
---------------------
441
442
CHANGES:
443
444
* Disable reading ``.bzrrules`` as a per-branch rule preferences
445
file. The feature was not quite ready for a full release.
446
(Robert Collins)
447
448
IMPROVEMENTS:
449
450
* Update the windows installer to bundle TortoiseBzr and ``qbzr``
451
into the standalone installer. This will be the first official
452
windows release that installs Tortoise by default.
453
(Mark Hammond)
454
455
BUG FIXES:
456
457
* Fix a regression in ``bzr+http`` support. There was a missing
458
function (``_read_line``) that needed to be carried over from
459
``bzr+ssh`` support. (Andrew Bennetts)
460
461
* ``GraphIndex`` objects will internally read an entire index if more
462
than 1/20th of their keyspace is requested in a single operation.
463
This largely mitigates a performance regression in ``bzr log FILE``
464
and completely corrects the performance regression in ``bzr log``.
465
The regression was caused by removing an accomodation which had been
466
supporting the index format in use. A newer index format is in
467
development which is substantially faster. (Robert Collins)
468
469
470
bzr 1.6rc2 2008-08-13
471
---------------------
472
473
This release candidate has a few minor bug fixes, and some regression
474
fixes for Windows.
475
476
BUG FIXES:
477
478
* ``bzr upgrade`` on remote branches accessed via bzr:// and
479
bzr+ssh:// now works. (Andrew Bennetts)
480
481
* Change the ``get_format_description()`` strings for
482
``RepositoryFormatKnitPack5`` et al to be single line messages.
483
(Aaron Bentley)
484
485
* Fix for a regression on Win32 where we would try to call
486
``os.listdir()`` on a file and not catch the exception properly.
487
(Windows raises a different exception.) This would manifest in
488
places like ``bzr rm file`` or ``bzr switch``.
489
(Mark Hammond, John Arbash Meinel)
490
491
* ``Inventory.copy()`` was failing to set the revision property for
492
the root entry. (Jelmer Vernooij)
493
494
* sftp transport: added missing ``FileExists`` case to
495
``_translate_io_exception`` (Christophe Troestler, #123475)
496
497
* The help for ``bzr ignored`` now suggests ``bzr ls --ignored`` for
498
scripting use. (Robert Collins, #3834)
499
500
* The default ``annotate`` logic will now always assign the
501
last-modified value of a line to one of the revisions that modified
502
it, rather than a merge revision. This would happen when both sides
503
claimed to have modified the line resulting in the same text. The
504
choice is arbitrary but stable, so merges in different directions
505
will get the same results. (John Arbash Meinel, #232188)
506
507
508
bzr 1.6rc1 2008-08-06
509
---------------------
510
511
This release candidate for bzr 1.6 solidifies the new branch stacking
512
feature. Bazaar now recommends that users upgrade all knit repositories,
513
because later formats are much faster. However, we plan to continue read/write and
514
upgrade support for knit repostories for the forseeable future. Several
515
other bugs and performance issues were fixed.
516
517
CHANGES:
518
519
* Knit format repositories are deprecated and bzr will now emit
520
warnings whenever it encounters one. Use ``bzr upgrade`` to upgrade
521
knit repositories to pack format. (Andrew Bennetts)
522
523
IMPROVEMENTS:
524
525
* ``bzr check`` can now be told which elements at a location it should
526
check. (Daniel Watkins)
527
528
* Commit now supports ``--exclude`` (or ``-x``) to exclude some files
529
from the commit. (Robert Collins, #3117)
530
531
* Fetching data between repositories that have the same model but no
532
optimised fetcher will not reserialise all the revisions, increasing
533
performance. (Robert Collins, John Arbash Meinel)
534
535
* Give a more specific error when target branch is not reachable.
536
(James Westby)
537
538
* Implemented a custom ``walkdirs_utf8`` implementation for win32.
539
This uses a pyrex extension to get direct access to the
540
``FindFirstFileW`` style apis, rather than using ``listdir`` +
541
``lstat``. Shows a very strong improvement in commands like
542
``status`` and ``diff`` which have to iterate the working tree.
543
Anywhere from 2x-6x faster depending on the size of the tree (bigger
544
trees, bigger benefit.) (John Arbash Meinel)
545
546
* New registry for log properties handles and the method in
547
LongLogFormatter to display the custom properties returned by the
548
registered handlers. (Guillermo Gonzalez, #162469)
549
550
BUG FIXES:
551
552
* Add more tests that stacking does not create deltas spanning
553
physical repository boundaries.
554
(Martin Pool, #252428)
555
556
* Better message about incompatible repositories.
557
(Martin Pool, #206258)
558
559
* ``bzr branch --stacked`` ensures the destination branch format can
560
support stacking, even if the origin does not.
561
(Martin Pool)
562
563
* ``bzr export`` no longer exports ``.bzrrules``.
564
(Ian Clatworthy)
565
566
* ``bzr serve --directory=/`` now correctly allows the whole
567
filesystem to be accessed on Windows, not just the root of the drive
568
that Python is running from.
569
(Adrian Wilkins, #240910)
570
571
* Deleting directories by hand before running ``bzr rm`` will not
572
cause subsequent errors in ``bzr st`` and ``bzr commit``.
573
(Robert Collins, #150438)
574
575
* Fix a test case that was failing if encoding wasn't UTF-8.
576
(John Arbash Meinel, #247585)
577
578
* Fix "no buffer space available" error when branching with the new
579
smart server protocol to or from Windows.
580
(Andrew Bennetts, #246180)
581
582
* Fixed problem in branching from smart server.
583
(#249256, Michael Hudson, Martin Pool)
584
585
* Handle a file turning in to a directory in TreeTransform.
586
(James Westby, #248448)
587
588
API CHANGES:
589
590
* ``MutableTree.commit`` has an extra optional keywork parameter
591
``exclude`` that will be unconditionally supplied by the command
592
line UI - plugins that add tree formats may need an update.
593
(Robert Collins)
594
595
* The API minimum version for plugin compatibility has been raised to
596
1.6 - there are significant changes throughout the code base.
597
(Robert Collins)
598
599
* The generic fetch code now uses three attributes on Repository objects
600
to control fetch. The streams requested are controlled via :
601
``_fetch_order`` and ``_fetch_uses_deltas``. Setting these
602
appropriately allows different repository implementations to recieve
603
data in their optimial form. If the ``_fetch_reconcile`` is set then
604
a reconcile operation is triggered at the end of the fetch.
605
(Robert Collins)
606
607
* The ``put_on_disk`` and ``get_tar_item`` methods in
608
``InventoryEntry`` were deprecated. (Ian Clatworthy)
609
610
* ``Repository.is_shared`` doesn't take a read lock. It didn't
611
need one in the first place (nobody cached the value, and
612
``RemoteRepository`` wasn't taking one either). This saves a round
613
trip when probing Pack repositories, as they read the ``pack-names``
614
file when locked. And during probe, locking the repo isn't very
615
useful. (John Arbash Meinel)
616
617
INTERNALS:
618
619
* ``bzrlib.branchbuilder.BranchBuilder`` is now much more capable of
620
putting together a real history without having to create a full
621
WorkingTree. It is recommended that tests that are not directly
622
testing the WorkingTree use BranchBuilder instead. See
623
``BranchBuilder.build_snapshot`` or
624
``TestCaseWithMemoryTree.make_branch_builder``. (John Arbash Meinel)
625
626
* ``bzrlib.builtins.internal_tree_files`` broken into two giving a new
627
helper ``safe_relpath_files`` - used by the new ``exclude``
628
parameter to commit. (Robert Collins)
629
630
* Make it easier to introduce new WorkingTree formats.
631
(Ian Clatworthy)
632
633
* The code for exporting trees was refactored not to use the
634
deprecated ``InventoryEntry`` methods. (Ian Clatworthy)
635
636
* RuleSearchers return () instead of [] now when there are no matches.
637
(Ian Clatworthy)
638
639
640
bzr 1.6beta3 2008-07-17
641
-----------------------
642
643
This release adds a new 'stacked branches' feature allowing branches to
644
share storage without being in the same repository or on the same machine.
645
(See the user guide for more details.) It also adds a new hook, improved
646
weaves, aliases for related locations, faster bzr+ssh push, and several
647
bug fixes.
648
649
FEATURES:
650
651
* New ``pre_change_branch_tip`` hook that is called before the
652
branch tip is moved, while the branch is write-locked. See the User
653
Reference for signature details. (Andrew Bennetts)
654
655
* Rule-based preferences can now be defined for selected files in
656
selected branches, allowing commands and plugins to provide
657
custom behaviour for files matching defined patterns.
658
See ``Rule-based preferences`` (part of ``Configuring Bazaar``)
659
in the User Guide and ``bzr help rules`` for more information.
660
(Ian Clatworthy)
661
662
* Sites may suggest a branch to stack new branches on. (Aaron Bentley)
663
664
* Stacked branches are now supported. See ``bzr help branch`` and
665
``bzr help push``. Branches must be in the ``development1`` format
666
to stack, though the stacked-on branch can be of any format.
667
(Robert Collins)
668
669
IMPROVEMENTS:
670
671
* ``bzr export --format=tgz --root=NAME -`` to export a gzipped tarball
672
to stdout; also ``tar`` and ``tbz2``.
673
(Martin Pool)
674
675
* ``bzr (re)merge --weave`` will now use a standard Weave algorithm,
676
rather than the annotation-based merge it was using. It does so by
677
building up a Weave of the important texts, without needing to build
678
the full ancestry. (John Arbash Meinel, #238895)
679
680
* ``bzr send`` documents and better supports ``emacsclient`` (proper
681
escaping of mail headers and handling of the MUA Mew).
682
(Christophe Troestler)
683
684
* Remembered locations can be specified by aliases, e.g. :parent, :public,
685
:submit. (Aaron Bentley)
686
687
* The smart protocol now has improved support for setting branches'
688
revision info directly. This makes operations like push
689
faster. The new request method name is
690
``Branch.set_last_revision_ex``. (Andrew Bennetts)
691
692
BUG FIXES:
693
694
* Bazaar is now able to be a client to the web server of IIS 6 and 7.
695
The broken implementations of RFC822 in Python and RFC2046 in IIS
696
combined with boundary-line checking in Bazaar previously made this
697
impossible. (NB, IIS 5 does not suffer from this problem).
698
(Adrian Wilkins, #247585)
699
700
* ``bzr log --long`` with a ghost in your mainline now handles that
701
ghost properly. (John Arbash Meinel, #243536)
702
703
* ``check`` handles the split-up .bzr layout correctly, so no longer
704
requires a branch to be present.
705
(Daniel Watkins, #64783)
706
707
* Clearer message about how to set the PYTHONPATH if bzrlib can't be
708
loaded.
709
(Martin Pool, #205230)
710
711
* Errors about missing libraries are now shown without a traceback,
712
and with a suggestion to install the library. The full traceback is
713
still in ``.bzr.log`` and can be shown with ``-Derror``.
714
(Martin Pool, #240161)
715
716
* Fetch from a stacked branch copies all required data.
717
(Aaron Bentley, #248506)
718
719
* Handle urls such as ftp://user@host.com@www.host.com where the user
720
name contains an @.
721
(Neil Martinsen-Burrell, #228058)
722
723
* ``needs_read_lock`` and ``needs_write_lock`` now suppress an error during
724
``unlock`` if there was an error in the original function. This helps
725
most when there is a failure with a smart server action, since often the
726
connection closes and we cannot unlock.
727
(Andrew Bennetts, John Arbash Meinel, #125784)
728
729
* Obsolete hidden command ``bzr fetch`` removed.
730
(Martin Pool, #172870)
731
732
* Raise the correct exception when doing ``-rbefore:0`` or ``-c0``.
733
(John Arbash Meinel, #239933)
734
735
* You can now compare file revisions in Windows diff programs from
736
Cygwin Bazaar.
737
(Matt McClure, #209281)
738
739
* revision_history now tolerates mainline ghosts for Branch format 6.
740
(Aaron Bentley, #235055)
741
742
* Set locale from environment for third party libs.
743
(Martin von Gagern, #128496)
744
745
DOCUMENTATION:
746
747
* Added *Using stacked branches* to the User Guide.
748
(Ian Clatworthy)
749
750
* Updated developer documentation.
751
(Martin Pool)
752
753
TESTING:
754
755
* ``-Dmemory`` will cause /proc/PID/status to be catted before bzr
756
exits, allowing low-key analysis of peak memory use. (Robert Collins)
757
758
* ``TestCaseWithTransport.make_branch_and_tree`` tries harder to return
759
a tree with a ``branch`` attribute of the right format. This was
760
preventing some ``RemoteBranch`` tests from actually running with
761
``RemoteBranch`` instances. (Andrew Bennetts)
762
763
API CHANGES:
764
765
* Removed ``Repository.text_store``, ``control_store``, etc. Instead,
766
there are new attributes ``texts, inventories, revisions,
767
signatures``, each of which is a ``VersionedFiles``. See the
768
Repository docstring for more details.
769
(Robert Collins)
770
771
* ``Branch.pull`` now accepts an ``_override_hook_target`` optional
772
parameter. If you have a subclass of ``Branch`` that overrides
773
``pull`` then you should add this parameter. (Andrew Bennetts)
774
775
* ``bzrlib.check.check()`` has been deprecated in favour of the more
776
aptly-named ``bzrlib.check.check_branch()``.
777
(Daniel Watkins)
778
779
* ``Tree.print_file`` and ``Repository.print_file`` are deprecated.
780
These methods are bad APIs because they write directly to sys.stdout.
781
bzrlib does not use them internally, and there are no direct tests
782
for them. (Alexander Belchenko)
783
784
INTERNALS:
785
786
* ``cat`` command no longer uses ``Tree.print_file()`` internally.
787
(Alexander Belchenko)
788
789
* New class method ``BzrDir.open_containing_tree_branch_or_repository``
790
which eases the discovery of the tree, the branch and the repository
791
containing a given location.
792
(Daniel Watkins)
793
794
* New ``versionedfile.KeyMapper`` interface to abstract out the access to
795
underlying .knit/.kndx etc files in repositories with partitioned
796
storage. (Robert Collins)
797
798
* Obsolete developer-use command ``weave-join`` has been removed.
799
(Robert Collins)
800
801
* ``RemoteToOtherFetcher`` and ``get_data_stream_for_search`` removed,
802
to support new ``VersionedFiles`` layering.
803
(Robert Collins)
804
805
806
bzr 1.6beta2 2008-06-10
807
-----------------------
808
809
This release contains further progress towards our 1.6 goals of shallow
810
repositories, and contains a fix for some user-affecting bugs in the
811
repository layer. Building working trees during checkout and branch is
812
now faster.
813
814
BUG FIXES:
815
816
* Avoid KnitCorrupt error extracting inventories from some repositories.
817
(The data is not corrupt; an internal check is detecting a problem
818
reading from the repository.)
819
(Martin Pool, Andrew Bennetts, Robert Collins, #234748)
820
821
* ``bzr status`` was breaking if you merged the same revision twice.
822
(John Arbash Meinel, #235407)
823
824
* Fix infinite loop consuming 100% CPU when a connection is lost while
825
reading a response body via the smart protocol v1 or v2.
826
(Andrew Bennetts)
827
828
* Inserting a bundle which changes the contents of a file with no trailing
829
end of line, causing a knit snapshot in a 'knits' repository will no longer
830
cause KnitCorrupt. (Robert Collins)
831
832
* ``RemoteBranch.pull`` needs to return the ``self._real_branch``'s
833
pull result. It was instead just returning None, which breaks ``bzr
834
pull``. (John Arbash Meinel, #238149)
835
836
* Sanitize branch nick before using it as an attachment filename in
837
``bzr send``. (Lukáš Lalinský, #210218)
838
839
* Squash ``inv_entry.symlink_target`` to a plain string when
840
generating DirState details. This prevents from getting a
841
``UnicodeError`` when you have symlinks and non-ascii filenames.
842
(John Arbash Meinel, #135320)
843
844
IMPROVEMENTS:
845
846
* Added the 'alias' command to set/unset and display aliases. (Tim Penhey)
847
848
* ``added``, ``modified``, and ``unknowns`` behaviour made consistent (all three
849
now quote paths where required). Added ``--null`` option to ``added`` and
850
``modified`` (for null-separated unknowns, use ``ls --unknown --null``)
851
(Adrian Wilkins)
852
853
* Faster branching (1.09x) and lightweight checkouts (1.06x) on large trees.
854
(Ian Clatworthy, Aaron Bentley)
855
856
DOCUMENTATION:
857
858
* Added *Bazaar Zen* section to the User Guide. (Ian Clatworthy)
859
860
TESTING:
861
862
* Fix the test HTTPServer to be isolated from chdir calls made while it is
863
running, allowing it to be used in blackbox tests. (Robert Collins)
864
865
API CHANGES:
866
867
* ``WorkingTree.set_parent_(ids/trees)`` will now filter out revisions
868
which are in the ancestry of other revisions. So if you merge the same
869
tree twice, or merge an ancestor of an existing merge, it will only
870
record the newest. (If you merge a descendent, it will replace its
871
ancestor). (John Arbash Meinel, #235407)
872
873
* ``RepositoryPolicy.__init__`` now requires stack_on and stack_on_pwd,
874
through the derived classes do not. (Aaron Bentley)
875
876
INTERNALS:
877
878
* ``bzrlib.bzrdir.BzrDir.sprout`` now accepts ``stacked`` to control
879
creating stacked branches. (Robert Collins)
880
881
* Knit record serialisation is now stricter on what it will accept, to
882
guard against potential internal bugs, or broken input. (Robert Collins)
883
884
885
bzr 1.6beta1 2008-06-02
886
-----------------------
887
888
889
Commands that work on the revision history such as push, pull, missing,
890
uncommit and log are now substantially faster. This release adds a
891
translation of some of the user documentation into Spanish. (Contributions of
892
other translations would be very welcome.) Bazaar 1.6beta1 adds a new network
893
protocol which is used by default and which allows for more efficient transfers
894
and future extensions.
895
896
897
NOTES WHEN UPGRADING:
898
899
* There is a new version of the network protocol used for bzr://, bzr+ssh://
900
and bzr+http:// connections. This will allow more efficient requests and
901
responses, and more graceful fallback when a server is too old to
902
recognise a request from a more recent client. Bazaar 1.6 will
903
interoperate with 0.16 and later versions, but servers should be upgraded
904
when possible. Bazaar 1.6 no longer interoperates with 0.15 and earlier via
905
these protocols. Use alternatives like SFTP or upgrade those servers.
906
(Andrew Bennetts, #83935)
907
908
CHANGES:
909
910
* Deprecation warnings will not be suppressed when running ``bzr selftest``
911
so that developers can see if their code is using deprecated functions.
912
(John Arbash Meinel)
913
914
FEATURES:
915
916
* Adding ``-Derror`` will now display a traceback when a plugin fails to
917
load. (James Westby)
918
919
IMPROVEMENTS:
920
921
* ``bzr branch/push/pull -r XXX`` now have a helper function for finding
922
the revno of the new revision (``Graph.find_distance_to_null``). This
923
should make something like ``bzr branch -r -100`` in a shared, no-trees
924
repository much snappier. (John Arbash Meinel)
925
926
* ``bzr log --short -r X..Y`` no longer needs to access the full revision
927
history. This makes it noticeably faster when logging the last few
928
revisions. (John Arbash Meinel)
929
930
* ``bzr ls`` now accepts ``-V`` as an alias for ``--versioned``.
931
(Jerad Cramp, #165086)
932
933
* ``bzr missing`` uses the new ``Graph.find_unique_ancestors`` and
934
``Graph.find_differences`` to determine missing revisions without having
935
to search the whole ancestry. (John Arbash Meinel, #174625)
936
937
* ``bzr uncommit`` now uses partial history access, rather than always
938
extracting the full revision history for a branch. This makes it
939
resolve the appropriate revisions much faster (in testing it drops
940
uncommit from 1.5s => 0.4s). It also means ``bzr log --short`` is one
941
step closer to not using full revision history.
942
(John Arbash Meinel, #172649)
943
944
BUGFIXES:
945
946
* ``bzr merge --lca`` should handle when two revisions have no common
947
ancestor other than NULL_REVISION. (John Arbash Meinel, #235715)
948
949
* ``bzr status`` was breaking if you merged the same revision twice.
950
(John Arbash Meinel, #235407)
951
952
* ``bzr push`` with both ``--overwrite`` and ``-r NNN`` options no longer
953
fails. (Andrew Bennetts, #234229)
954
955
* Correctly track the base URL of a smart medium when using bzr+http://
956
URLs, which was causing spurious "No repository present" errors with
957
branches in shared repositories accessed over bzr+http.
958
(Andrew Bennetts, #230550)
959
960
* Define ``_remote_is_at_least_1_2`` on ``SmartClientMedium`` so that all
961
implementations have the attribute. Fixes 'PyCurlTransport' object has no
962
attribute '_remote_is_at_least_1_2' attribute errors.
963
(Andrew Bennetts, #220806)
964
965
* Failure to delete an obsolete pack file should just give a warning
966
message, not a fatal error. It may for example fail if the file is still
967
in use by another process.
968
(Martin Pool)
969
970
* Fix MemoryError during large fetches over HTTP by limiting the amount of
971
data we try to read per ``recv`` call. The problem was observed with
972
Windows and a proxy, but might affect other environments as well.
973
(Eric Holmberg, #215426)
974
975
* Handle old merge directives correctly in Merger.from_mergeable. Stricter
976
get_parent_map requirements exposed a latent bug here. (Aaron Bentley)
977
978
* Issue a warning and ignore passwords declared in authentication.conf when
979
used for an ssh scheme (sftp or bzr+ssh).
980
(Vincent Ladeuil, #203186)
981
982
* Make both http implementations raise appropriate exceptions on 403
983
Forbidden when POSTing smart requests.
984
(Vincent Ladeuil, #230223)
985
986
* Properly *title* header names in http requests instead of capitalizing
987
them.
988
(Vincent Ladeuil, #229076)
989
990
* The "Unable to obtain lock" error message now also suggests using
991
``bzr break-lock`` to fix it. (Martin Albisetti, #139202)
992
993
* Treat an encoding of '' as ascii; this can happen when bzr is run
994
under vim on Mac OS X.
995
(Neil Martinsen-Burrell)
996
997
* ``VersionedFile.make_mpdiffs()`` was raising an exception that wasn't in
998
scope. (Daniel Fischer #235687)
999
1000
DOCUMENTATION:
1001
1002
* Added directory structure and started translation of docs in spanish.
1003
(Martin Albisetti, Lucio Albenga)
1004
1005
* Incorporate feedback from Jelmer Vernooij and Neil Martinsen-Burrell
1006
on the plugin and integration chapters of the User Guide.
1007
(Ian Clatworthy)
1008
1009
* More Bazaar developer documentation about packaging and release process,
1010
and about use of Python reprs.
1011
(Martin Pool, Martin Albisetti)
1012
1013
* Updated Tortise strategy document. (Mark Hammond)
1014
1015
TESTING:
1016
1017
* ``bzrlib.tests.adapt_tests`` was broken and unused - it has been fixed.
1018
(Robert Collins)
1019
1020
* Fix the test HTTPServer to be isolated from chdir calls made while it is
1021
running, allowing it to be used in blackbox tests. (Robert Collins)
1022
1023
* New helper function for splitting test suites
1024
``split_suite_by_condition``. (Robert Collins)
1025
1026
INTERNALS:
1027
1028
* ``Branch.missing_revisions`` has been deprecated. Similar functionality
1029
can be obtained using ``bzrlib.missing.find_unmerged``. The api was
1030
fairly broken, and the function was unused, so we are getting rid of it.
1031
(John Arbash Meinel)
1032
1033
API CHANGES:
1034
1035
* ``Branch.abspath`` is deprecated; use the Tree or Transport
1036
instead. (Martin Pool)
1037
1038
* ``Branch.update_revisions`` now takes an optional ``Graph``
1039
object. This can be used by ``update_revisions`` when it is
1040
checking ancestry, and allows callers to prefer request to go to a
1041
local branch. (John Arbash Meinel)
1042
1043
* Branch, Repository, Tree and BzrDir should expose a Transport as an
1044
attribute if they have one, rather than having it indirectly accessible
1045
as ``.control_files._transport``. This doesn't add a requirement
1046
to support a Transport in cases where it was not needed before;
1047
it just simplifies the way it is reached. (Martin Pool)
1048
1049
* ``bzr missing --mine-only`` will return status code 0 if you have no
1050
new revisions, but the remote does. Similarly for ``--theirs-only``.
1051
The new code only checks one side, so it doesn't know if the other
1052
side has changes. This seems more accurate with the request anyway.
1053
It also changes the output to print '[This|Other] branch is up to
1054
date.' rather than displaying nothing. (John Arbash Meinel)
1055
1056
* ``LockableFiles.put_utf8``, ``put_bytes`` and ``controlfilename``
1057
are now deprecated in favor of using Transport operations.
1058
(Martin Pool)
1059
1060
* Many methods on ``VersionedFile``, ``Repository`` and in
1061
``bzrlib.revision`` deprecated before bzrlib 1.5 have been removed.
1062
(Robert Collins)
1063
1064
* ``RevisionSpec.wants_revision_history`` can be set to False for a given
1065
``RevisionSpec``. This will disable the existing behavior of passing in
1066
the full revision history to ``self._match_on``. Useful for specs that
1067
don't actually need access to the full history. (John Arbash Meinel)
1068
1069
* The constructors of ``SmartClientMedium`` and its subclasses now require a
1070
``base`` parameter. ``SmartClientMedium`` implementations now also need
1071
to provide a ``remote_path_from_transport`` method. (Andrew Bennetts)
1072
1073
* The default permissions for creating new files and directories
1074
should now be obtained from ``BzrDir._get_file_mode()`` and
1075
``_get_dir_mode()``, rather than from LockableFiles. The ``_set_file_mode``
1076
and ``_set_dir_mode`` variables on LockableFiles which were advertised
1077
as a way for plugins to control this are no longer consulted.
1078
(Martin Pool)
1079
1080
* ``VersionedFile.join`` is deprecated. This method required local
1081
instances of both versioned file objects and was thus hostile to being
1082
used for streaming from a smart server. The new get_record_stream and
1083
insert_record_stream are meant to efficiently replace this method.
1084
(Robert Collins)
1085
1086
* ``WorkingTree.set_parent_(ids/trees)`` will now filter out revisions
1087
which are in the ancestry of other revisions. So if you merge the same
1088
tree twice, or merge an ancestor of an existing merge, it will only
1089
record the newest. (If you merge a descendent, it will replace its
1090
ancestor). (John Arbash Meinel, #235407)
1091
1092
* ``WorkingTreeFormat2.stub_initialize_remote`` is now private.

------------------
1098
1099
This release of Bazaar includes several updates to the documentation, and fixes
1100
to prepare for making rich root support the default format. Many bugs have been
1101
squashed, including fixes to log, bzr+ssh inter-operation with older servers.
1102
1103
CHANGES:
1104
1105
* Suppress deprecation warnings when bzrlib is a 'final' release. This way
1106
users of packaged software won't be bothered with DeprecationWarnings,
1107
but developers and testers will still see them. (John Arbash Meinel)
1108
1109
DOCUMENTATION:
1110
1111
* Incorporate feedback from Jelmer Vernooij and Neil Martinsen-Burrell

1119
NOTES WHEN UPGRADING:
1120
1121
CHANGES:
1122
1123
* Broader support of GNU Emacs mail clients. Set
1124
``mail_client=emacsclient`` in your bazaar.conf and ``send`` will pop the
1125
bundle in a mail buffer according to the value of ``mail-user-agent``
1126
variable. (Xavier Maillard)
1127
1128
FEATURES:
1129
1130
IMPROVEMENTS:
1131
1132
* Diff now handles revision specs like "branch:" and "submit:" more
1133
efficiently. (Aaron Bentley, #202928)
1134
1135
* More friendly error given when attempt to start the smart server
1136
on an address already in use. (Andrea Corbellini, #200575)
1137
1138
* Pull completes much faster when there is nothing to pull.
1139
(Aaron Bentley)
1140
1141
BUGFIXES:
1142
1143
* Authentication.conf can define sections without password.
1144
(Vincent Ladeuil, #199440)
1145
1146
* Avoid muttering every time a child update does not cause a progress bar
1147
update. (John Arbash Meinel, #213771)
1148
1149
* ``Branch.reconcile()`` is now implemented. This allows ``bzr reconcile``
1150
to fix when a Branch has a non-canonical mainline history. ``bzr check``
1151
also detects this condition. (John Arbash Meinel, #177855)
1152
1153
* ``bzr log -r ..X bzr://`` was failing, because it was getting a request
1154
for ``revision_id=None`` which was not a string.
1155
(John Arbash Meinel, #211661)
1156
1157
* ``bzr commit`` now works with Microsoft's FTP service.
1158
(Andreas Deininger)
1159
1160
* Catch definitions outside sections in authentication.conf.
1161
(Vincent Ladeuil, #217650)
1162
1163
* Conversion from non-rich-root to rich-root(-pack) updates inventory
1164
sha1s, even when bundles are used. (Aaron Bentley, #181391)
1165
1166
* Conversion from non-rich-root to rich-root(-pack) works correctly even
1167
though search keys are not topologically sorted. (Aaron Bentley)
1168
1169
* Conversion from non-rich-root to rich-root(-pack) works even when a
1170
parent revision has a different root id. (Aaron Bentley, #177874)
1171
1172
* Disable strace testing until strace is fixed (see bug #103133) and emit a
1173
warning when selftest ends to remind us of leaking tests.
1174
(Vincent Ladeuil, #226769)
1175
1176
* Fetching all revisions from a repository does not cause pack collisions.
1177
(Robert Collins, Aaron Bentley, #212908)
1178
1179
* Fix error about "attempt to add line-delta in non-delta knit".
1180
(Andrew Bennetts, #217701)
1181
1182
* Pushing a branch in "dirstate" format (Branch5) over bzr+ssh would break
1183
if the remote server was < version 1.2. This was due to a bug in the
1184
RemoteRepository.get_parent_map() fallback code.
1185
(John Arbash Meinel, #214894)
1186
1187
* Remove leftover code in ``bzr_branch`` that inappropriately creates
1188
a ``branch-name`` file in the branch control directory.
1189
(Martin Pool)
1190
1191
* Set SO_REUSEADDR on server sockets of ``bzr serve`` to avoid problems
1192
rebinding the socket when starting the server a second time.
1193
(John Arbash Meinel, Martin Pool, #164288)
1194
1195
* Severe performance degradation in fetching from knit repositories to
1196
knits and packs due to parsing the entire revisions.kndx on every graph
1197
walk iteration fixed by using the Repository.get_graph API. There was
1198
another regression in knit => knit fetching which re-read the index for
1199
every revision each side had in common.
1200
(Robert Collins, John Arbash Meinel)
1201
1202
* When logging the changes to a particular file, there was a bug if there
1203
were ghosts in the revision ancestry. (John Arbash Meinel, #209948)
1204
1205
* xs4all's ftp server returns a temporary error when trying to list an
1206
empty directory, rather than returning an empty list. Adding a
1207
workaround so that we don't get spurious failures.
1208
(John Arbash Meinel, #215522)
1209
1210
DOCUMENTATION:
1211
1212
* Expanded the User Guide to include new chapters on popular plugins and
1213
integrating Bazaar into your environment. The *Best practices* chapter
1214
was renamed to *Miscellaneous topics* as suggested by community
1215
feedback as well. (Ian Clatworthy)
1216
1217
* Document outlining strategies for TortoiseBzr. (Mark Hammond)
1218
1219
* Improved the documentation on hooks. (Ian Clatworthy)
1220
1221
* Update authentication docs regarding ssh agents.
1222
(Vincent Ladeuil, #183705)
1223
1224
TESTING:
1225
1226
* Add ``thread_name_suffix`` parameter to SmartTCPServer_for_testing, to
1227
make it easy to identify which test spawned a thread with an unhandled
1228
exception. (Andrew Bennetts)
1229
1230
* New ``--debugflag``/``-E`` option to ``bzr selftest`` for setting
1231
options for debugging tests, these are complementary to the the -D
1232
options. The ``-Dselftest_debug`` global option has been replaced by the
1233
``-E=allow_debug`` option for selftest. (Andrew Bennetts)
1234
1235
* Parameterised test ids are preserved correctly to aid diagnosis of test
1236
failures. (Robert Collins, Andrew Bennetts)
1237
1238
* selftest now accepts --starting-with <id> to load only the tests whose id
1239
starts with the one specified. This greatly speeds up running the test
1240
suite on a limited set of tests and can be used to run the tests for a
1241
single module, a single class or even a single test. (Vincent Ladeuil)
1242
1243
* The test suite modules have been modified to define load_tests() instead
1244
of test_suite(). That speeds up selective loading (via --load-list)
1245
significantly and provides many examples on how to migrate (grep for
1246
load_tests). (Vincent Ladeuil)
1247
1248
INTERNALS:
1249
1250
* ``Hooks.install_hook`` is now deprecated in favour of
1251
``Hooks.install_named_hook`` which adds a required ``name`` parameter, to
1252
avoid having to call ``Hooks.name_hook``. (Daniel Watkins)
1253
1254
* Implement xml8 serializer. (Aaron Bentley)
1255
1256
* New form ``@deprecated_method(deprecated_in(1, 5, 0))`` for making
1257
deprecation wrappers. (Martin Pool)
1258
1259
* ``Repository.revision_parents`` is now deprecated in favour of
1260
``Repository.get_parent_map([revid])[revid]``. (Jelmer Vernooij)
1261
1262
* The Python ``assert`` statement is no longer used in Bazaar source, and
1263
a test checks this. (Martin Pool)
1264
1265
API CHANGES:
1266
1267
* ``bzrlib.status.show_pending_merges`` requires the repository to be
1268
locked by the caller. Callers should have been doing it anyway, but it
1269
will now raise an exception if they do not. (John Arbash Meinel)
1270
1271
* Repository.get_data_stream, Repository.get_data_stream_for_search(),
1272
Repository.get_deltas_for_revsions(), Repository.revision_trees(),
1273
Repository.item_keys_introduced_by() no longer take read locks.
1274
(Aaron Bentley)
1275
1276
* ``LockableFiles.get_utf8`` and ``.get`` are deprecated, as a start
1277
towards removing LockableFiles and ``.control_files`` entirely.
1278
(Martin Pool)
1279
1280
* Methods deprecated prior to 1.1 have been removed.

1285
------------------
1286
1287
This release of Bazaar includes handy improvements to the speed of log and
1288
status, new options for several commands, improved documentation, and better
1289
hooks, including initial code for server-side hooks. A number of bugs have
1290
been fixed, particularly in interoperability between different formats or
1291
different releases of Bazaar over there network. There's been substantial
1292
internal work in both the repository and network code to enable new features
1293
and faster performance.
1294
1295
BUG FIXES:
1296
1297
* Pushing a branch in "dirstate" format (Branch5) over bzr+ssh would break
1298
if the remote server was < version 1.2. This was due to a bug in the
1299
RemoteRepository.get_parent_map() fallback code.

for ``revision_id=None`` which was not a string.
1310
(John Arbash Meinel, #211661)
1311
1312
* Fixed a bug in handling ghost revisions when logging changes in a
1313
particular file. (John Arbash Meinel, #209948)
1314
1315
* Fix error about "attempt to add line-delta in non-delta knit".
1316
(Andrew Bennetts, #205156)
1317
1318
* Fixed performance degradation in fetching from knit repositories to

CHANGES:
1330
1331
* bzr main script cannot be imported (Benjamin Peterson)
1332
1333
* On Linux bzr additionally looks for plugins in arch-independent site
1334
directory. (Toshio Kuratomi)
1335
1336
* The ``set_rh`` branch hook is now deprecated. Please migrate
1337
any plugins using this hook to use an alternative, e.g.
1338
``post_change_branch_tip``. (Ian Clatworthy)
1339
1340
* When a plugin cannot be loaded as the file path is not a valid
1341
python module name bzr will now strip a ``bzr_`` prefix from the
1342
front of the suggested name, as many plugins (e.g. bzr-svn)
1343
want to be installed without this prefix. It is a common mistake
1344
to have a folder named "bzr-svn" for that plugin, especially
1345
as this is what bzr branch lp:bzr-svn will give you. (James Westby,
1346
Andrew Cowie)
1347
1348
* UniqueIntegerBugTracker now appends bug-ids instead of joining
1349
them to the base URL. Plugins that register bug trackers may
1350
need a trailing / added to the base URL if one is not already there.
1351
(James Wesby, Andrew Cowie)
1352
1353
FEATURES:
1354
1355
* Added start_commit hook for mutable trees. (Jelmer Vernooij, #186422)
1356
1357
* ``status`` now accepts ``--no-pending`` to show the status without
1358
listing pending merges, which speeds up the command a lot on large
1359
histories. (James Westby, #202830)
1360
1361
* New ``post_change_branch_tip`` hook that is called after the
1362
branch tip is moved but while the branch is still write-locked.
1363
See the User Reference for signature details.
1364
(Ian Clatworthy, James Henstridge)
1365
1366
* Reconfigure can convert a branch to be standalone or to use a shared
1367
repository. (Aaron Bentley)
1368
1369
IMPROVEMENTS:
1370
1371
* The smart protocol now has support for setting branches' revision info
1372
directly. This should make operations like push slightly faster, and is a
1373
step towards server-side hooks. The new request method name is
1374
``Branch.set_last_revision_info``. (Andrew Bennetts)
1375
1376
* ``bzr commit --fixes`` now recognises "gnome" as a tag by default.
1377
(James Westby, Andrew Cowie)
1378
1379
* ``bzr switch`` will attempt to find branches to switch to relative to the
1380
current branch. E.g. ``bzr switch branchname`` will look for
1381
``current_branch/../branchname``. (Robert Collins, Jelmer Vernooij,
1382
Wouter van Heyst)
1383
1384
* Diff is now more specific about execute-bit changes it describes
1385
(Chad Miller)
1386
1387
* Fetching data over HTTP is a bit faster when urllib is used. This is done
1388
by forcing it to recv 64k at a time when reading lines in HTTP headers,
1389
rather than just 1 byte at a time. (Andrew Bennetts)
1390
1391
* Log --short and --line are much faster when -r is not specified.
1392
(Aaron Bentley)
1393
1394
* Merge is faster. We no longer check a file's existence unnecessarily
1395
when merging the execute bit. (Aaron Bentley)
1396
1397
* ``bzr status`` on an explicit list of files no longer shows pending
1398
merges, making it much faster on large trees. (John Arbash Meinel)
1399
1400
* The launchpad directory service now warns the user if they have not set
1401
their launchpad login and are trying to resolve a URL using it, just
1402
in case they want to do a write operation with it. (James Westby)
1403
1404
* The smart protocol client is slightly faster, because it now only queries
1405
the server for the protocol version once per connection. Also, the HTTP
1406
transport will now automatically probe for and use a smart server if
1407
one is present. You can use the new ``nosmart+`` transport decorator
1408
to get the old behaviour. (Andrew Bennetts)
1409
1410
* The ``version`` command takes a ``--short`` option to print just the
1411
version number, for easier use in scripts. (Martin Pool)
1412
1413
* Various operations with revision specs and commands that calculate
1414
revnos and revision ids are faster. (John A. Meinel, Aaron Bentley)
1415
1416
BUGFIXES:
1417
1418
* Add ``root_client_path`` parameter to SmartWSGIApp and
1419
SmartServerRequest. This makes it possible to publish filesystem
1420
locations that don't exactly match URL paths. SmartServerRequest
1421
subclasses should use the new ``translate_client_path`` and
1422
``transport_from_client_path`` methods when dealing with paths received
1423
from a client to take this into account. (Andrew Bennetts, #124089)
1424
1425
* ``bzr mv a b`` can be now used also to rename previously renamed
1426
directories, not only files. (Lukáš Lalinský, #107967)
1427
1428
* ``bzr uncommit --local`` can now remove revisions from the local
1429
branch to be symmetric with ``bzr commit --local``.
1430
(John Arbash Meinel, #93412)
1431
1432
* Don't ask for a password if there is no real terminal.
1433
(Alexander Belchenko, #69851)
1434
1435
* Fix a bug causing a ValueError crash in ``parse_line_delta_iter`` when
1436
fetching revisions from a knit to pack repository or vice versa using
1437
bzr:// (including over http or ssh).
1438
(#208418, Andrew Bennetts, Martin Pool, Robert Collins)
1439
1440
* Fixed ``_get_line`` in ``bzrlib.smart.medium``, which was buggy. Also
1441
fixed ``_get_bytes`` in the same module to use the push back buffer.
1442
These bugs had no known impact in normal use, but were problematic for
1443
developers working on the code, and were likely to cause real bugs sooner
1444
or later. (Andrew Bennetts)
1445
1446
* Implement handling of basename parameter for DefaultMail. (James Westby)
1447
1448
* Incompatibility with Paramiko versions newer than 1.7.2 was fixed.
1449
(Andrew Bennetts, #213425)
1450
1451
* Launchpad locations (lp: URLs) can be pulled. (Aaron Bentley, #181945)
1452
1453
* Merges that add files to deleted root directories complete. They
1454
do create conflicts. (Aaron Bentley, #210092)
1455
1456
* vsftp's return ``550 RNFR command failed.`` supported.
1457
(Marcus Trautwig, #129786)

DOCUMENTATION:
1460
1461
* Improved documentation on send/merge relationship. (Peter Schuller)
1462
1463
* Minor fixes to the User Guide. (Matthew Fuller)
1464
1465
* Reduced the evangelism in the User Guide. (Ian Clatworthy)
1466
1467
* Added Integrating with Bazaar document for developers (Martin Albisetti)
1468
1469
API BREAKS:
1470
1471
* Attempting to pull data from a ghost aware repository (e.g. knits) into a
1472
non-ghost aware repository such as weaves will now fail if there are
1473
ghosts. (Robert Collins)
1474
1475
* ``KnitVersionedFile`` no longer accepts an ``access_mode`` parameter, and
1476
now requires the ``index`` and ``access_method`` parameters to be
1477
supplied. A compatible shim has been kept in the new function
1478
``knit.make_file_knit``. (Robert Collins)
1479
1480
* Log formatters must now provide log_revision instead of show and
1481
show_merge_revno methods. The latter had been deprecated since the 0.17
1482
release. (James Westby)
1483
1484
* ``LoopbackSFTP`` is now called ``SocketAsChannelAdapter``.
1485
(Andrew Bennetts)
1486
1487
* ``osutils.backup_file`` is removed. (Alexander Belchenko)
1488
1489
* ``Repository.get_revision_graph`` is deprecated, with no replacement
1490
method. The method was size(history) and not desirable. (Robert Collins)
1491
1492
* ``revision.revision_graph`` is deprecated, with no replacement function.
1493
The function was size(history) and not desirable. (Robert Collins)
1494
1495
* ``Transport.get_shared_medium`` is deprecated. Use
1496
``Transport.get_smart_medium`` instead. (Andrew Bennetts)
1497
1498
* ``VersionedFile`` factories now accept a get_scope parameter rather
1499
than using a call to ``transaction_finished``, allowing the removal of
1500
the fixed list of versioned files per repository. (Robert Collins)
1501
1502
* ``VersionedFile.annotate_iter`` is deprecated. While in principle this
1503
allowed lower memory use, all users of annotations wanted full file
1504
annotations, and there is no storage format suitable for incremental
1505
line-by-line annotation. (Robert Collins)
1506
1507
* ``VersionedFile.clone_text`` is deprecated. This performance optimisation
1508
is no longer used - reading the content of a file that is undergoing a
1509
file level merge to identical state on two branches is rare enough, and
1510
not expensive enough to special case. (Robert Collins)
1511
1512
* ``VersionedFile.clear_cache`` and ``enable_cache`` are deprecated.
1513
These methods added significant complexity to the ``VersionedFile``
1514
implementation, but were only used for optimising fetches from knits -
1515
which can be done from outside the knit layer, or via a caching
1516
decorator. As knits are not the default format, the complexity is no
1517
longer worth paying. (Robert Collins)
1518
1519
* ``VersionedFile.create_empty`` is removed. This method presupposed a
1520
sensible mapping to a transport for individual files, but pack backed
1521
versioned files have no such mapping. (Robert Collins)
1522
1523
* ``VersionedFile.get_graph`` is deprecated, with no replacement method.
1524
The method was size(history) and not desirable. (Robert Collins)
1525
1526
* ``VersionedFile.get_graph_with_ghosts`` is deprecated, with no
1527
replacement method. The method was size(history) and not desirable.
1528
(Robert Collins)
1529
1530
* ``VersionedFile.get_parents`` is deprecated, please use
1531
``VersionedFile.get_parent_map``. (Robert Collins)
1532
1533
* ``VersionedFile.get_sha1`` is deprecated, please use
1534
``VersionedFile.get_sha1s``. (Robert Collins)
1535
1536
* ``VersionedFile.has_ghost`` is now deprecated, as it is both expensive
1537
and unused outside of a single test. (Robert Collins)
1538
1539
* ``VersionedFile.iter_parents`` is now deprecated in favour of
1540
``get_parent_map`` which can be used to instantiate a Graph on a
1541
VersionedFile. (Robert Collins)
1542
1543
* ``VersionedFileStore`` no longer uses the transaction parameter given
1544
to most methods; amongst other things this means that the
1545
get_weave_or_empty method no longer guarantees errors on a missing weave
1546
in a readonly transaction, and no longer caches versioned file instances
1547
which reduces memory pressure (but requires more careful management by
1548
callers to preserve performance). (Robert Collins)
1549
1550
TESTING:
1551
1552
* New -Dselftest_debug flag disables clearing of the debug flags during
1553
tests. This is useful if you want to use e.g. -Dhpss to help debug a
1554
failing test. Be aware that using this feature is likely to cause
1555
spurious test failures if used with the full suite. (Andrew Bennetts)
1556
1557
* selftest --load-list now uses a new more agressive test loader that will
1558
avoid loading unneeded modules and building their tests. Plugins can use
1559
this new loader by defining a load_tests function instead of a test_suite
1560
function. (a forthcoming patch will provide many examples on how to
1561
implement this).
1562
(Vincent Ladeuil)
1563
1564
* selftest --load-list now does some sanity checks regarding duplicate test
1565
IDs and tests present in the list but not found in the actual test suite.
1566
(Vincent Ladeuil)
1567
1568
* Slightly more concise format for the selftest progress bar, so there's
1569
more space to show the test name. (Martin Pool) ::
1570
1571
[2500/10884, 1fail, 3miss in 1m29s] test_revisionnamespaces.TestRev
1572
1573
* The test suite takes much less memory to run, and is a bit faster. This
1574
is done by clearing most attributes of TestCases after running them, if
1575
they succeeded. (Andrew Bennetts)
1576
1577
INTERNALS:
1578
1579
* Added ``_build_client_protocol`` to ``_SmartClient``. (Andrew Bennetts)
1580
1581
* Added basic infrastructure for automatic plugin suggestion.
1582
(Martin Albisetti)
1583
1584
* If a ``LockableFiles`` object is not explicitly unlocked (for example
1585
because of a missing ``try/finally`` block, it will give a warning but
1586
not automatically unlock itself. (Previously they did.) This
1587
sometimes caused knock-on errors if for example the network connection
1588
had already failed, and should not be relied upon by code.
1589
(Martin Pool, #109520)
1590
1591
* ``make dist`` target to build a release tarball, and also
1592
``check-dist-tarball`` and ``dist-upload-escudero``. (Martin Pool)
1593
1594
* The ``read_response_tuple`` method of ``SmartClientRequestProtocol*``
1595
classes will now raise ``UnknownSmartMethod`` when appropriate, so that
1596
callers don't need to try distinguish unknown request errors from other
1597
errors. (Andrew Bennetts)
1598
1599
* ``set_make_working_trees`` is now implemented provided on all repository
1600
implementations (Aaron Bentley)
1601
1602
* ``VersionedFile`` now has a new method ``get_parent_map`` which, like
1603
``Graph.get_parent_map`` returns a dict of key:parents. (Robert Collins)

1624
------------------
1625
1626
Bazaar has become part of the GNU project <http://www.gnu.org>
1627
1628
Many operations that act on history, including ``log`` and ``annotate`` are now
1629
substantially faster. Several bugs have been fixed and several new options and
1630
features have been added.
1631
1632
TESTING:
1633
1634
* Avoid spurious failure of ``TestVersion.test_version`` matching

NOTES WHEN UPGRADING:
1643
1644
* The backup directory created by ``upgrade`` is now called
1645
``backup.bzr``, not ``.bzr.backup``. (Martin Albisetti)
1646
1647
CHANGES:
1648
1649
* A new repository format 'development' has been added. This format will
1650
represent the latest 'in-progress' format that the bzr developers are
1651
interested in getting early-adopter testing and feedback on.
1652
``doc/developers/development-repo.txt`` has detailed information.
1653
(Robert Collins)
1654
1655
* BZR_LOG environment variable controls location of .bzr.log trace file.
1656
User can suppress writing messages to .bzr.log by using '/dev/null'
1657
filename (on Linux) or 'NUL' (on Windows). If BZR_LOG variable
1658
is not defined but BZR_HOME is defined then default location
1659
for .bzr.log trace file is ``$BZR_HOME/.bzr.log``.
1660
(Alexander Belchenko)
1661
1662
* ``launchpad`` builtin plugin now shipped as separate part in standalone
1663
bzr.exe, installed to ``C:\Program Files\Bazaar\plugins`` directory,
1664
and standalone installer allows user to skip installation of this plugin.
1665
(Alexander Belchenko)
1666
1667
* Restore auto-detection of plink.exe on Windows. (Dmitry Vasiliev)
1668
1669
* Version number is now shown as "1.2" or "1.2pr2", without zeroed or
1670
missing final fields. (Martin Pool)
1671
1672
FEATURES:
1673
1674
* ``branch`` and ``checkout`` can hard-link working tree files, which is
1675
faster and saves space. (Aaron Bentley)
1676
1677
* ``bzr send`` will now also look at the ``child_submit_to`` setting in
1678
the submit branch to determine the email address to send to.
1679
(Jelmer Vernooij)
1680
1681
IMPROVEMENTS:
1682
1683
* BzrBranch._lefthand_history is faster on pack repos. (Aaron Bentley)
1684
1685
* Branch6.generate_revision_history is faster. (Aaron Bentley)
1686
1687
* Directory services can now be registered, allowing special URLs to be
1688
dereferenced into real URLs. This is a generalization and cleanup of
1689
the lp: transport lookup. (Aaron Bentley)
1690
1691
* Merge directives that are automatically attached to emails have nicer
1692
filenames, based on branch-nick + revno. (Aaron Bentley)
1693
1694
* ``push`` has a ``--revision`` option, to specify what revision to push up
1695
to. (Daniel Watkins)
1696
1697
* Significantly reducing execution time and network traffic for trivial
1698
case of running ``bzr missing`` command for two identical branches.
1699
(Alexander Belchenko)
1700
1701
* Speed up operations that look at the revision graph (such as 'bzr log').
1702
``KnitPackRepositor.get_revision_graph`` uses ``Graph.iter_ancestry`` to
1703
extract the revision history. This allows filtering ghosts while
1704
stepping instead of needing to peek ahead. (John Arbash Meinel)
1705
1706
* The ``hooks`` command lists installed hooks, to assist in debugging.
1707
(Daniel Watkins)
1708
1709
* Updates to how ``annotate`` work. Should see a measurable improvement in
1710
performance and memory consumption for file with a lot of merges.
1711
Also, correctly handle when a line is introduced by both parents (it
1712
should be attributed to the first merge which notices this, and not
1713
to all subsequent merges.) (John Arbash Meinel)
1714
1715
BUGFIXES:
1716
1717
* Autopacking no longer holds the full set of inventory lines in
1718
memory while copying. For large repositories, this can amount to
1719
hundreds of MB of ram consumption.
1720
(Ian Clatworthy, John Arbash Meinel)
1721
1722
* Cherrypicking when using ``--format=merge3`` now explictly excludes
1723
BASE lines. (John Arbash Meinel, #151731)
1724
1725
* Disable plink's interactive prompt for password.
1726
(#107593, Dmitry Vasiliev)
1727
1728
* Encode command line arguments from unicode to user_encoding before
1729
invoking external mail client in `bzr send` command.
1730
(#139318, Alexander Belchenko)
1731
1732
* Fixed problem connecting to ``bzr+https://`` servers.
1733
(#198793, John Ferlito)
1734
1735
* Improved error reporting in the Launchpad plugin. (Daniel Watkins,
1736
#196618)
1737
1738
* Include quick-start-summary.svg file to python-based installer(s)
1739
for Windows. (#192924, Alexander Belchenko)
1740
1741
* lca merge now respects specified files. (Aaron Bentley)
1742
1743
* Make version-info --custom imply --all. (#195560, James Westby)
1744
1745
* ``merge --preview`` now works for merges that add or modify
1746
symlinks (James Henstridge)
1747
1748
* Redirecting the output from ``bzr merge`` (when the remembered
1749
location is used) now works. (John Arbash Meinel)
1750
1751
* setup.py script explicitly checks for Python version.
1752
(Jari Aalto, Alexander Belchenko, #200569)
1753
1754
* UnknownFormatErrors no longer refer to branches regardless of kind of
1755
unknown format. (Daniel Watkins, #173980)
1756
1757
* Upgrade bundled ConfigObj to version 4.5.2, which properly quotes #
1758
signs, among other small improvements. (Matt Nordhoff, #86838)
1759
1760
* Use correct indices when emitting LCA conflicts. This fixes IndexError
1761
errors. (Aaron Bentley, #196780)
1762
1763
DOCUMENTATION:
1764
1765
* Explained how to use ``version-info --custom`` in the User Guide.

(Neil Martinsen-Burrell)
1767
1768
API BREAKS:
1769
1770
* Support for loading plugins from zip files and
1771
``bzrlib.plugin.load_from_zip()`` function are deprecated.
1772
(Alexander Belchenko)
1773
1774
TESTING:
1775
1776
* Added missing blackbox tests for ``modified`` (Adrian Wilkins)
1777
1778
* The branch interface tests were invalid for branches using rich-root
1779
repositories because the empty string is not a valid file-id.
1780
(Robert Collins)
1781
1782
INTERNALS:
1783
1784
* ``Graph.iter_ancestry`` returns the ancestry of revision ids. Similar to
1785
``Repository.get_revision_graph()`` except it includes ghosts and you can
1786
stop part-way through. (John Arbash Meinel)
1787
1788
* New module ``tools/package_mf.py`` provide custom module finder for
1789
python packages (improves standard python library's modulefinder.py)
1790
used by ``setup.py`` script while building standalone bzr.exe.
1791
(Alexander Belchenko)
1792
1793
* New remote method ``RemoteBzrDir.find_repositoryV2`` adding support for
1794
detecting external lookup support on remote repositories. This method is
1795
now attempted first when lookup up repositories, leading to an extra
1796
round trip on older bzr smart servers. (Robert Collins)
1797
1798
* Repository formats have a new supported-feature attribute
1799
``supports_external_lookups`` used to indicate repositories which support
1800
falling back to other repositories when they have partial data.
1801
(Robert Collins)
1802
1803
* ``Repository.get_revision_graph_with_ghosts`` and
1804
``bzrlib.revision.(common_ancestor,MultipleRevisionSources,common_graph)``
1805
have been deprecated. (John Arbash Meinel)
1806
1807
* ``Tree.iter_changes`` is now a public API, replacing the work-in-progress
1808
``Tree._iter_changes``. The api is now considered stable and ready for
1809
external users. (Aaron Bentley)
1810
1811
* The bzrdir format registry now accepts an ``alias`` keyword to
1812
register_metadir, used to indicate that a format name is an alias for
1813
some other format and thus should not be reported when describing the
1814
format. (Robert Collins)

NOTES WHEN UPGRADING:
1829
1830
* Fetching via the smart protocol may need to reconnect once during a fetch
1831
if the remote server is running Bazaar 1.1 or earlier, because the client
1832
attempts to use more efficient requests that confuse older servers. You
1833
may be required to re-enter a password or passphrase when this happens.
1834
This won't happen if the server is upgraded to Bazaar 1.2.
1835
(Andrew Bennetts)
1836
1837
CHANGES:
1838
1839
* Fetching via bzr+ssh will no longer fill ghosts by default (this is
1840
consistent with pack-0.92 fetching over SFTP). (Robert Collins)
1841
1842
* Formatting of ``bzr plugins`` output is changed to be more human-
1843
friendly. Full path of plugins locations will be shown only with
1844
``--verbose`` command-line option. (Alexander Belchenko)
1845
1846
* ``merge`` now prefers to use the submit branch, but will fall back to
1847
parent branch. For many users, this has no effect. But some users who
1848
pull and merge on the same branch will notice a change. This change
1849
makes it easier to work on a branch on two different machines, pulling
1850
between the machines, while merging from the upstream.
1851
``merge --remember`` can now be used to set the submit_branch.
1852
(Aaron Bentley)
1853
1854
FEATURES:
1855
1856
* ``merge --preview`` produces a diff of the changes merge would make,
1857
but does not actually perform the merge. (Aaron Bentley)
1858
1859
* New smart method ``Repository.get_parent_map`` for getting revision
1860
parent data. This returns additional parent information topologically
1861
adjacent to the requested data to reduce round trip latency impacts.
1862
(Robert Collins)
1863
1864
* New smart method, ``Repository.stream_revisions_chunked``, for fetching
1865
revision data that streams revision data via a chunked encoding. This
1866
avoids buffering large amounts of revision data on the server and on the
1867
client, and sends less data to the server to request the revisions.
1868
(Andrew Bennetts, Robert Collins, #178353)
1869
1870
* The launchpad plugin now handles lp urls of the form
1871
``lp://staging/``, ``lp://demo/``, ``lp://dev/`` to use the appropriate
1872
launchpad instance to do the resolution of the branch identities.
1873
This is primarily of use to Launchpad developers, but can also
1874
be used by other users who want to try out Launchpad as
1875
a branch location without messing up their public Launchpad
1876
account. Branches that are pushed to the staging environment
1877
have an expected lifetime of one day. (Tim Penhey)
1878
1879
IMPROVEMENTS:
1880
1881
* Creating a new branch no longer tries to read the entire revision-history
1882
unnecessarily over smart server operations. (Robert Collins)
1883
1884
* Fetching between different repository formats with compatible models now
1885
takes advantage of the smart method to stream revisions. (Andrew Bennetts)
1886
1887
* The ``--coverage`` option is now global, rather specific to ``bzr
1888
selftest``. (Andrew Bennetts)
1889
1890
* The ``register-branch`` command will now use the public url of the branch
1891
containing the current directory, if one has been set and no explicit
1892
branch is provided. (Robert Collins)
1893
1894
* Tweak the ``reannotate`` code path to optimize the 2-parent case.
1895
Speeds up ``bzr annotate`` with a pack repository by approx 3:2.
1896
(John Arbash Meinel)
1897
1898
BUGFIXES:
1899
1900
* Calculate remote path relative to the shared medium in _SmartClient. This
1901
is related to the problem in bug #124089. (Andrew Bennetts)
1902
1903
* Cleanly handle connection errors in smart protocol version two, the same
1904
way as they are handled by version one. (Andrew Bennetts)
1905
1906
* Clearer error when ``version-info --custom`` is used without
1907
``--template`` (Lukáš Lalinský)
1908
1909
* Don't raise UnavailableFeature during test setup when medusa is not
1910
available or tearDown is never called leading to nasty side effects.
1911
(#137823, Vincent Ladeuil)
1912
1913
* If a plugin's test suite cannot be loaded, for example because of a syntax
1914
error in the tests, then ``selftest`` fails, rather than just printing
1915
a warning. (Martin Pool, #189771)
1916
1917
* List possible values for BZR_SSH environment variable in env-variables
1918
help topic. (Alexander Belchenko, #181842)
1919
1920
* New methods ``push_log_file`` and ``pop_log_file`` to intercept messages:
1921
popping the log redirection now precisely restores the previous state,
1922
which makes it easier to use bzr log output from other programs.
1923
TestCaseInTempDir no longer depends on a log redirection being established
1924
by the test framework, which lets bzr tests cleanly run from a normal
1925
unittest runner.
1926
(#124153, #124849, Martin Pool, Jonathan Lange)
1927
1928
* ``pull --quiet`` is now more quiet, in particular a message is no longer
1929
printed when the remembered pull location is used. (James Westby,
1930
#185907)
1931
1932
* ``reconfigure`` can safely be interrupted while fetching.
1933
(Aaron Bentley, #179316)
1934
1935
* ``reconfigure`` preserves tags when converting to and from lightweight
1936
checkouts. (Aaron Bentley, #182040)
1937
1938
* Stop polluting /tmp when running selftest.
1939
(Vincent Ladeuil, #123623)
1940
1941
* Switch from NFKC => NFC for normalization checks. NFC allows a few
1942
more characters which should be considered valid.
1943
(John Arbash Meinel, #185458)
1944
1945
* The launchpad plugin now uses the ``edge`` xmlrpc server to avoid
1946
interacting badly with a bug on the launchpad side. (Robert Collins)
1947
1948
* Unknown hostnames when connecting to a ``bzr://`` URL no longer cause
1949
tracebacks. (Andrew Bennetts, #182849)
1950
1951
API BREAKS:
1952
1953
* Classes implementing Merge types like Merge3Merger must now accept (and
1954
honour) a do_merge flag in their constructor. (Aaron Bentley)
1955
1956
* ``Repository.add_inventory`` and ``add_revision`` now require the caller
1957
to previously take a write lock (and start a write group.)
1958
(Martin Pool)
1959
1960
TESTING:
1961
1962
* selftest now accepts --load-list <file> to load a test id list. This
1963
speeds up running the test suite on a limited set of tests.
1964
(Vincent Ladeuil)
1965
1966
INTERNALS:
1967
1968
* Add a new method ``get_result`` to graph search objects. The resulting
1969
``SearchResult`` can be used to recreate the search later, which will
1970
be useful in reducing network traffic. (Robert Collins)
1971
1972
* Use convenience function to check whether two repository handles
1973
are referring to the same repository in ``Repository.get_graph``.
1974
(Jelmer Vernooij, #187162)
1975
1976
* Fetching now passes the find_ghosts flag through to the
1977
``InterRepository.missing_revision_ids`` call consistently for all
1978
repository types. This will enable faster missing revision discovery with
1979
bzr+ssh. (Robert Collins)
1980
1981
* Fix error handling in Repository.insert_data_stream. (Lukas Lalinsky)
1982
1983
* ``InterRepository.missing_revision_ids`` is now deprecated in favour of
1984
``InterRepository.search_missing_revision_ids`` which returns a
1985
``bzrlib.graph.SearchResult`` suitable for making requests from the smart
1986
server. (Robert Collins)
1987
1988
* New error ``NoPublicBranch`` for commands that need a public branch to
1989
operate. (Robert Collins)
1990
1991
* New method ``iter_inventories`` on Repository for access to many
1992
inventories. This is primarily used by the ``revision_trees`` method, as
1993
direct access to inventories is discouraged. (Robert Collins)
1994
1995
* New method ``next_with_ghosts`` on the Graph breadth-first-search objects
1996
which will split out ghosts and present parents into two separate sets,
1997
useful for code which needs to be aware of ghosts (e.g. fetching data
1998
cares about ghosts during revision selection). (Robert Collins)
1999
2000
* Record a timestamp against each mutter to the trace file, relative to the
2001
first import of bzrlib. (Andrew Bennetts)
2002
2003
* ``Repository.get_data_stream`` is now deprecated in favour of
2004
``Repository.get_data_stream_for_search`` which allows less network
2005
traffic when requesting data streams over a smart server. (Robert Collins)
2006
2007
* ``RemoteBzrDir._get_tree_branch`` no longer triggers ``_ensure_real``,
2008
removing one round trip on many network operations. (Robert Collins)
2009
2010
* RemoteTransport's ``recommended_page_size`` method now returns 64k, like
2011
SFTPTransport and HttpTransportBase. (Andrew Bennetts)
2012
2013
* Repository has a new method ``has_revisions`` which signals the presence
2014
of many revisions by returning a set of the revisions listed which are
2015
present. This can be done by index queries without reading data for parent
2016
revision names etc. (Robert Collins)

---------------------
2026
2027
CHANGES:
2028
2029
* Dotted revision numbers have been revised. Instead of growing longer with
2030
nested branches the branch number just increases. (eg instead of 1.1.1.1.1
2031
we now report 1.2.1.) This helps scale long lived branches which have many
2032
feature branches merged between them. (John Arbash Meinel)
2033
2034
* The syntax ``bzr diff branch1 branch2`` is no longer supported.
2035
Use ``bzr diff branch1 --new branch2`` instead. This change has
2036
been made to remove the ambiguity where ``branch2`` is in fact a
2037
specific file to diff within ``branch1``.
2038
2039
FEATURES:
2040
2041
* New option to use custom template-based formats in ``bzr version-info``.
2042
(Lukáš Lalinský)
2043
2044
* diff '--using' allows an external diff tool to be used for files.
2045
(Aaron Bentley)
2046
2047
* New "lca" merge-type for fast everyday merging that also supports
2048
criss-cross merges. (Aaron Bentley)
2049
2050
IMPROVEMENTS:
2051
2052
* ``annotate`` now doesn't require a working tree. (Lukáš Lalinský,
2053
#90049)
2054
2055
* ``branch`` and ``checkout`` can now use files from a working tree to
2056
to speed up the process. For checkout, this requires the new
2057
--files-from flag. (Aaron Bentley)
2058
2059
* ``bzr diff`` now sorts files in alphabetical order. (Aaron Bentley)
2060
2061
* ``bzr diff`` now works on branches without working trees. Tree-less
2062
branches can also be compared to each other and to working trees using
2063
the new diff options ``--old`` and ``--new``. Diffing between branches,
2064
with or without trees, now supports specific file filtering as well.
2065
(Ian Clatworthy, #6700)
2066
2067
* ``bzr pack`` now orders revision texts in topological order, with newest
2068
at the start of the file, promoting linear reads for ``bzr log`` and the
2069
like. This partially fixes #154129. (Robert Collins)
2070
2071
* Merge directives now fetch prerequisites from the target branch if
2072
needed. (Aaron Bentley)
2073
2074
* pycurl now handles digest authentication.
2075
(Vincent Ladeuil)
2076
2077
* ``reconfigure`` can now convert from repositories. (Aaron Bentley)
2078
2079
* ``-l`` is now a short form for ``--limit`` in ``log``. (Matt Nordhoff)
2080
2081
* ``merge`` now warns when merge directives cause cherrypicks.
2082
(Aaron Bentley)
2083
2084
* ``split`` now supported, to enable splitting large trees into smaller
2085
pieces. (Aaron Bentley)
2086
2087
BUGFIXES:
2088
2089
* Avoid AttributeError when unlocking a pack repository when an error occurs.
2090
(Martin Pool, #180208)
2091
2092
* Better handle short reads when processing multiple range requests.
2093
(Vincent Ladeuil, #179368)
2094
2095
* build_tree acceleration uses the correct path when a file has been moved.
2096
(Aaron Bentley)
2097
2098
* ``commit`` now succeeds when a checkout and its master branch share a
2099
repository. (Aaron Bentley, #177592)
2100
2101
* Fixed error reporting of unsupported timezone format in
2102
``log --timezone``. (Lukáš Lalinský, #178722)
2103
2104
* Fixed Unicode encoding error in ``ignored`` when the output is
2105
redirected to a pipe. (Lukáš Lalinský)
2106
2107
* Fix traceback when sending large response bodies over the smart protocol
2108
on Windows. (Andrew Bennetts, #115781)
2109
2110
* Fix ``urlutils.relative_url`` for the case of two ``file:///`` URLs
2111
pointed to different logical drives on Windows.
2112
(Alexander Belchenko, #90847)
2113
2114
* HTTP test servers are now compatible with the http protocol version 1.1.
2115
(Vincent Ladeuil, #175524)
2116
2117
* _KnitParentsProvider.get_parent_map now handles requests for ghosts
2118
correctly, instead of erroring or attributing incorrect parents to ghosts.
2119
(Aaron Bentley)
2120
2121
* ``merge --weave --uncommitted`` now works. (Aaron Bentley)
2122
2123
* pycurl authentication handling was broken and incomplete. Fix handling of
2124
user:pass embedded in the urls.
2125
(Vincent Ladeuil, #177643)
2126
2127
* Files inside non-directories are now handled like other conflict types.
2128
(Aaron Bentley, #177390)
2129
2130
* ``reconfigure`` is able to convert trees into lightweight checkouts.
2131
(Aaron Bentley)
2132
2133
* Reduce lockdir timeout to 0 when running ``bzr serve``. (Andrew Bennetts,
2134
#148087)
2135
2136
* Test that the old ``version_info_format`` functions still work, even
2137
though they are deprecated. (John Arbash Meinel, ShenMaq, #177872)
2138
2139
* Transform failures no longer cause ImmortalLimbo errors (Aaron Bentley,
2140
#137681)
2141
2142
* ``uncommit`` works even when the commit messages of revisions to be
2143
removed use characters not supported in the terminal encoding.
2144
(Aaron Bentley)
2145
2146
* When dumb http servers return whole files instead of the requested ranges,
2147
read the remaining bytes by chunks to avoid overflowing network buffers.
2148
(Vincent Ladeuil, #175886)
2149
2150
DOCUMENTATION:
2151
2152
* Minor tweaks made to the bug tracker integration documentation.
2153
(Ian Clatworthy)
2154
2155
* Reference material has now be moved out of the User Guide and added
2156
to the User Reference. The User Reference has gained 4 sections as
2157
a result: Authenication Settings, Configuration Settings, Conflicts
2158
and Hooks. All help topics are now dumped into text format in the
2159
doc/en/user-reference directory for those who like browsing that
2160
information in their editor. (Ian Clatworthy)
2161
2162
* *Using Bazaar with Launchpad* tutorial added. (Ian Clatworthy)
2163
2164
INTERNALS:
2165
2166
* find_* methods available for BzrDirs, Branches and WorkingTrees.
2167
(Aaron Bentley)
2168
2169
* Help topics can now be loaded from files.
2170
(Ian Clatworthy, Alexander Belchenko)
2171
2172
* get_parent_map now always provides tuples as its output. (Aaron Bentley)
2173
2174
* Parent Providers should now implement ``get_parent_map`` returning a
2175
dictionary instead of ``get_parents`` returning a list.
2176
``Graph.get_parents`` is now deprecated. (John Arbash Meinel,
2177
Robert Collins)
2178
2179
* Patience Diff now supports arbitrary python objects, as long as they
2180
support ``hash()``. (John Arbash Meinel)
2181
2182
* Reduce selftest overhead to establish test names by memoization.
2183
(Vincent Ladeuil)
2184
2185
API BREAKS:
2186
2187
TESTING:
2188
2189
* Modules can now customise their tests by defining a ``load_tests``
2190
attribute. ``pydoc bzrlib.tests.TestUtil.TestLoader.loadTestsFromModule``
2191
for the documentation on this attribute. (Robert Collins)
2192
2193
* New helper function ``bzrlib.tests.condition_id_re`` which helps
2194
filter tests based on a regular expression search on the tests id.
2195
(Robert Collins)
2196
2197
* New helper function ``bzrlib.tests.condition_isinstance`` which helps
2198
filter tests based on class. (Robert Collins)
2199
2200
* New helper function ``bzrlib.tests.exclude_suite_by_condition`` which
2201
generalises the ``exclude_suite_by_re`` function. (Robert Collins)
2202
2203
* New helper function ``bzrlib.tests.filter_suite_by_condition`` which
2204
generalises the ``filter_suite_by_re`` function. (Robert Collins)
2205
2206
* New helper method ``bzrlib.tests.exclude_tests_by_re`` which gives a new
2207
TestSuite that does not contain tests from the input that matched a
2208
regular expression. (Robert Collins)
2209
2210
* New helper method ``bzrlib.tests.randomize_suite`` which returns a
2211
randomized copy of the input suite. (Robert Collins)
2212
2213
* New helper method ``bzrlib.tests.split_suite_by_re`` which splits a test
2214
suite into two according to a regular expression. (Robert Collins)
2215
2216
* Parametrize all http tests for the transport implementations, the http
2217
protocol versions (1.0 and 1.1) and the authentication schemes.
2218
(Vincent Ladeuil)
2219
2220
* The ``exclude_pattern`` and ``random_order`` parameters to the function
2221
``bzrlib.tests.filter_suite_by_re`` have been deprecated. (Robert Collins)
2222
2223
* The method ``bzrlib.tests.sort_suite_by_re`` has been deprecated. It is
2224
replaced by the new helper methods added in this release. (Robert Collins)

CHANGES:
2248
2249
* If a traceback occurs, users are now asked to report the bug

through Launchpad (https://bugs.launchpad.net/bzr/), rather than
2251
by mail to the mailing list.
2252
(Martin Pool)
2253
2254
BUGFIXES:
2255
2256
* Fix Makefile rules for doc generation. (Ian Clatworthy, #175207)
2257
2258
* Give more feedback during long http downloads by making readv deliver data
2259
as it arrives for urllib, and issue more requests for pycurl. High latency
2260
networks are better handled by urllib, the pycurl implementation give more
2261
feedback but also incur more latency.
2262
(Vincent Ladeuil, #173010)
2263
2264
* Implement _make_parents_provider on RemoteRepository, allowing generating
2265
bundles against branches on a smart server. (Andrew Bennetts, #147836)

IMPROVEMENTS:
2286
2287
* Added a --coverage option to selftest. (Andrew Bennetts)
2288
2289
* Annotate merge (merge-type=weave) now supports cherrypicking.
2290
(Aaron Bentley)
2291
2292
* ``bzr commit`` now doesn't print the revision number twice. (Matt
2293
Nordhoff, #172612)
2294
2295
* New configuration option ``bugtracker_<tracker_abbrevation>_url`` to
2296
define locations of bug trackers that are not directly supported by
2297
bzr or a plugin. The URL will be treated as a template and ``{id}``
2298
placeholders will be replaced by specific bug IDs. (Lukáš Lalinský)
2299
2300
* Support logging single merge revisions with short and line log formatters.
2301
(Kent Gibson)
2302
2303
* User Guide enhanced with suggested readability improvements from
2304
Matt Revell and corrections from John Arbash Meinel. (Ian Clatworthy)
2305
2306
* Quick Start Guide renamed to Quick Start Card, moved down in
2307
the catalog, provided in pdf and png format and updated to refer
2308
to ``send`` instead of ``bundle``. (Ian Clatworthy, #165080)
2309
2310
* ``switch`` can now be used on heavyweight checkouts as well as
2311
lightweight ones. After switching a heavyweight checkout, the
2312
local branch is a mirror/cache of the new bound branch and
2313
uncommitted changes in the working tree are merged. As a safety
2314
check, if there are local commits in a checkout which have not
2315
been committed to the previously bound branch, then ``switch``
2316
fails unless the ``--force`` option is given. This option is
2317
now also required if the branch a lightweight checkout is pointing
2318
to has been moved. (Ian Clatworthy)

* Catch OSError 17 (file exists) in final phase of tree transform and show
2333
filename to user.
2334
(Alexander Belchenko, #111758)
2335
2336
* Catch ShortReadvErrors while using pycurl. Also make readv more robust by
2337
allowing multiple GET requests to be issued if too many ranges are
2338
required.
2339
(Vincent Ladeuil, #172701)
2340
2341
* Check for missing basis texts when fetching from packs to packs.
2342
(John Arbash Meinel, #165290)
2343
2344
* Fall back to showing e-mail in ``log --short/--line`` if the
2345
committer/author has only e-mail. (Lukáš Lalinský, #157026)
2346
2347
API BREAKS:
2348
2349
* Deprecate not passing a ``location`` argument to commit reporters'
2350
``started`` methods. (Matt Nordhoff)

bzr 1.0rc1 2007-11-30
2354
---------------------
2355
2356
NOTES WHEN UPGRADING:
2357
2358
* The default repository format is now ``pack-0.92``. This
2359
default is used when creating new repositories with ``init`` and
2360
``init-repo``, and when branching over bzr+ssh or bzr+hpss.
2361
(See https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/164626)
2362
2363
This format can be read and written by Bazaar 0.92 and later, and
2364
data can be transferred to and from older formats.
2365
2366
To upgrade, please reconcile your repository (``bzr reconcile``), and then
2367
upgrade (``bzr upgrade``).
2368
2369
``pack-0.92`` offers substantially better scaling and performance than the
2370
previous knits format. Some operations are slower where the code already
2371
had bad scaling characteristics under knits, the pack format makes such
2372
operations more visible as part of being more scalable overall. We will
2373
correct such operations over the coming releases and encourage the filing
2374
of bugs on any operation which you observe to be slower in a packs
2375
repository. One particular case that we do not intend to fix is pulling
2376
data from a pack repository into a knit repository over a high latency
2377
link; downgrading such data requires reinsertion of the file texts, and
2378
this is a classic space/time tradeoff. The current implementation is
2379
conservative on memory usage because we need to support converting data
2380
from any tree without problems.
2381
(Robert Collins, Martin Pool, #164476)
2382
2383
CHANGES:
2384
2385
* Disable detection of plink.exe as possible ssh vendor. Plink vendor
2386
still available if user selects it explicitly with BZR_SSH environment
2387
variable. (Alexander Belchenko, workaround for bug #107593)
2388
2389
* The pack format is now accessible as "pack-0.92", or "pack-0.92-subtree"
2390
to enable the subtree functions (for example, for bzr-svn).
2391
See http://doc.bazaar-vcs.org/latest/developer/packrepo.html
2392
(Martin Pool)
2393
2394
FEATURES:
2395
2396
* New ``authentication.conf`` file holding the password or other credentials
2397
for remote servers. This can be used for ssh, sftp, smtp and other
2398
supported transports.
2399
(Vincent Ladeuil)
2400
2401
* New rich-root and rich-root-pack formats, recording the same data about
2402
tree roots that's recorded for all other directories.
2403
(Aaron Bentley, #164639)
2404
2405
* ``pack-0.92`` repositories can now be reconciled.
2406
(Robert Collins, #154173)
2407
2408
* ``switch`` command added for changing the branch a lightweight checkout
2409
is associated with and updating the tree to reflect the latest content
2410
accordingly. This command was previously part of the BzrTools plug-in.
2411
(Ian Clatworthy, Aaron Bentley, David Allouche)
2412
2413
* ``reconfigure`` command can now convert branches, trees, or checkouts to
2414
lightweight checkouts. (Aaron Bentley)
2415
2416
PERFORMANCE:
2417
2418
* Commit updates the state of the working tree via a delta rather than
2419
supplying entirely new basis trees. For commit of a single specified file
2420
this reduces the wall clock time for commit by roughly a 30%.
2421
(Robert Collins, Martin Pool)
2422
2423
* Commit with many automatically found deleted paths no longer performs
2424
linear scanning for the children of those paths during inventory
2425
iteration. This should fix commit performance blowing out when many such
2426
paths occur during commit. (Robert Collins, #156491)
2427
2428
* Fetch with pack repositories will no longer read the entire history graph.
2429
(Robert Collins, #88319)
2430
2431
* Revert takes out an appropriate lock when reverting to a basis tree, and
2432
does not read the basis inventory twice. (Robert Collins)
2433
2434
* Diff does not require an inventory to be generated on dirstate trees.
2435
(Aaron Bentley, #149254)
2436
2437
* New annotate merge (--merge-type=weave) implementation is fast on
2438
versionedfiles withough cached annotations, e.g. pack-0.92.
2439
(Aaron Bentley)
2440
2441
IMPROVEMENTS:
2442
2443
* ``bzr merge`` now warns when it encounters a criss-cross merge.
2444
(Aaron Bentley)
2445
2446
* ``bzr send`` now doesn't require the target e-mail address to be
2447
specified on the command line if an interactive e-mail client is used.
2448
(Lukáš Lalinský)
2449
2450
* ``bzr tags`` now prints the revision number for each tag, instead of
2451
the revision id, unless --show-ids is passed. In addition, tags can be
2452
sorted chronologically instead of lexicographically with --sort=time.
2453
(Adeodato Simó, #120231)
2454
2455
* Windows standalone version of bzr is able to load system-wide plugins from
2456
"plugins" subdirectory in installation directory. In addition standalone
2457
installer write to the registry (HKLM\SOFTWARE\Bazaar) useful info
2458
about paths and bzr version. (Alexander Belchenko, #129298)
2459

DOCUMENTATION:
2461
2462
BUG FIXES:
2463
2464
* A progress bar has been added for knitpack -> knitpack fetching.
2465
(Robert Collins, #157789, #159147)
2466
2467
* Branching from a branch via smart server now preserves the repository
2468
format. (Andrew Bennetts, #164626)
2469
2470
* ``commit`` is now able to invoke an external editor in a non-ascii
2471
directory. (Daniel Watkins, #84043)
2472
2473
* Catch connection errors for ftp.
2474
(Vincent Ladeuil, #164567)
2475
2476
* ``check`` no longer reports spurious unreferenced text versions.
2477
(Robert Collins, John A Meinel, #162931, #165071)
2478
2479
* Conflicts are now resolved recursively by ``revert``.
2480
(Aaron Bentley, #102739)
2481
2482
* Detect invalid transport reuse attempts by catching invalid URLs.
2483
(Vincent Ladeuil, #161819)
2484
2485
* Deleting a file without removing it shows a correct diff, not a traceback.
2486
(Aaron Bentley)
2487
2488
* Do no use timeout in HttpServer anymore.
2489
(Vincent Ladeuil, #158972).
2490
2491
* Don't catch the exceptions related to the http pipeline status before
2492
retrying an http request or some programming errors may be masked.
2493
(Vincent Ladeuil, #160012)
2494
2495
* Fix ``bzr rm`` to not delete modified and ignored files.
2496
(Lukáš Lalinský, #172598)
2497
2498
* Fix exception when revisionspec contains merge revisons but log
2499
formatter doesn't support merge revisions. (Kent Gibson, #148908)
2500
2501
* Fix exception when ScopeReplacer is assigned to before any members have
2502
been retrieved. (Aaron Bentley)
2503
2504
* Fix multiple connections during checkout --lightweight.
2505
(Vincent Ladeuil, #159150)
2506
2507
* Fix possible error in insert_data_stream when copying between
2508
pack repositories over bzr+ssh or bzr+http.
2509
KnitVersionedFile.get_data_stream now makes sure that requested
2510
compression parents are sent before any delta hunks that depend
2511
on them.
2512
(Martin Pool, #164637)
2513
2514
* Fix typo in limiting offsets coalescing for http, leading to
2515
whole files being downloaded instead of parts.
2516
(Vincent Ladeuil, #165061)
2517
2518
* FTP server errors don't error in the error handling code.
2519
(Robert Collins, #161240)
2520
2521
* Give a clearer message when a pull fails because the source needs
2522
to be reconciled.
2523
(Martin Pool, #164443)
2524
2525
* It is clearer when a plugin cannot be loaded because of its name, and a
2526
suggestion for an acceptable name is given. (Daniel Watkins, #103023)
2527
2528
* Leave port as None in transport objects if user doesn't
2529
specify a port in urls.
2530
(vincent Ladeuil, #150860)
2531
2532
* Make sure Repository.fetch(self) is properly a no-op for all
2533
Repository implementations. (John Arbash Meinel, #158333)
2534
2535
* Mark .bzr directories as "hidden" on Windows.
2536
(Alexander Belchenko, #71147)
2537
2538
* ``merge --uncommitted`` can now operate on a single file.
2539
(Aaron Bentley, Lukáš Lalinský, #136890)
2540
2541
* Obsolete packs are now cleaned up by pack and autopack operations.
2542
(Robert Collins, #153789)
2543
2544
* Operations pulling data from a smart server where the underlying
2545
repositories are not both annotated/both unannotated will now work.
2546
(Robert Collins, #165304).
2547
2548
* Reconcile now shows progress bars. (Robert Collins, #159351)
2549
2550
* ``RemoteBranch`` was not initializing ``self._revision_id_to_revno_map``
2551
properly. (John Arbash Meinel, #162486)
2552
2553
* Removing an already-removed file reports the file does not exist. (Daniel
2554
Watkins, #152811)
2555
2556
* Rename on Windows is able to change filename case.
2557
(Alexander Belchenko, #77740)
2558
2559
* Return error instead of a traceback for ``bzr log -r0``.
2560
(Kent Gibson, #133751)
2561
2562
* Return error instead of a traceback when bzr is unable to create
2563
symlink on some platforms (e.g. on Windows).
2564
(Alexander Belchenko, workaround for #81689)
2565
2566
* Revert doesn't crash when restoring a single file from a deleted
2567
directory. (Aaron Bentley)
2568
2569
* Stderr output via logging mechanism now goes through encoded wrapper
2570
and no more uses utf-8, but terminal encoding instead. So all unicode
2571
strings now should be readable in non-utf-8 terminal.
2572
(Alexander Belchenko, #54173)
2573
2574
* The error message when ``move --after`` should be used makes how to do so
2575
clearer. (Daniel Watkins, #85237)
2576
2577
* Unicode-safe output from ``bzr info``. The output will be encoded
2578
using the terminal encoding and unrepresentable characters will be
2579
replaced by '?'. (Lukáš Lalinský, #151844)
2580
2581
* Working trees are no longer created when pushing into a local no-trees
2582
repo. (Daniel Watkins, #50582)
2583
2584
* Upgrade util/configobj to version 4.4.0.
2585
(Vincent Ladeuil, #151208).
2586
2587
* Wrap medusa ftp test server as an FTPServer feature.
2588
(Vincent Ladeuil, #157752)
2589
2590
API BREAKS:
2591
2592
* ``osutils.backup_file`` is deprecated. Actually it's not used in bzrlib
2593
during very long time. (Alexander Belchenko)
2594
2595
* The return value of
2596
``VersionedFile.iter_lines_added_or_present_in_versions`` has been
2597
changed. Previously it was an iterator of lines, now it is an iterator of
2598
(line, version_id) tuples. This change has been made to aid reconcile and
2599
fetch operations. (Robert Collins)
2600
2601
* ``bzrlib.repository.get_versioned_file_checker`` is now private.
2602
(Robert Collins)
2603
2604
* The Repository format registry default has been removed; it was previously
2605
obsoleted by the bzrdir format default, which implies a default repository
2606
format.
2607
(Martin Pool)
2608
2609
INTERNALS:
2610
2611
* Added ``ContainerSerialiser`` and ``ContainerPushParser`` to
2612
``bzrlib.pack``. These classes provide more convenient APIs for generating
2613
and parsing containers from streams rather than from files. (Andrew
2614
Bennetts)
2615
2616
* New module ``lru_cache`` providing a cache for use by tasks that need
2617
semi-random access to large amounts of data. (John A Meinel)
2618
2619
* InventoryEntry.diff is now deprecated. Please use diff.DiffTree instead.

2635
NOTES WHEN UPGRADING:
2636
2637
CHANGES:
2638
2639
* ``bzr`` now returns exit code 4 if an internal error occurred, and
2640
3 if a normal error occurred. (Martin Pool)
2641
2642
* ``pull``, ``merge`` and ``push`` will no longer silently correct some
2643
repository index errors that occured as a result of the Weave disk format.
2644
Instead the ``reconcile`` command needs to be run to correct those
2645
problems if they exist (and it has been able to fix most such problems
2646
since bzr 0.8). Some new problems have been identified during this release
2647
and you should run ``bzr check`` once on every repository to see if you
2648
need to reconcile. If you cannot ``pull`` or ``merge`` from a remote
2649
repository due to mismatched parent errors - a symptom of index errors -
2650
you should simply take a full copy of that remote repository to a clean
2651
directory outside any local repositories, then run reconcile on it, and
2652
finally pull from it locally. (And naturally email the repositories owner
2653
to ask them to upgrade and run reconcile).
2654
(Robert Collins)
2655
2656
FEATURES:
2657
2658
* New ``knitpack-experimental`` repository format. This is interoperable with
2659
the ``dirstate-tags`` format but uses a smarter storage design that greatly
2660
speeds up many operations, both local and remote. This new format can be
2661
used as an option to the ``init``, ``init-repository`` and ``upgrade``
2662
commands. See http://doc.bazaar-vcs.org/0.92/developers/knitpack.html
2663
for further details. (Robert Collins)
2664
2665
* For users of bzr-svn (and those testing the prototype subtree support) that
2666
wish to try packs, a new ``knitpack-subtree-experimental`` format has also
2667
been added. This is interoperable with the ``dirstate-subtrees`` format.
2668
(Robert Collins)
2669
2670
* New ``reconfigure`` command. (Aaron Bentley)
2671
2672
* New ``revert --forget-merges`` command, which removes the record of a pending
2673
merge without affecting the working tree contents. (Martin Pool)
2674
2675
* New ``bzr_remote_path`` configuration variable allows finer control of
2676
remote bzr locations than BZR_REMOTE_PATH environment variable.
2677
(Aaron Bentley)
2678
2679
* New ``launchpad-login`` command to tell Bazaar your Launchpad
2680
user ID. This can then be used by other functions of the
2681
Launchpad plugin. (James Henstridge)
2682
2683
PERFORMANCE:
2684
2685
* Commit in quiet mode is now slightly faster as the information to
2686
output is no longer calculated. (Ian Clatworthy)
2687
2688
* Commit no longer checks for new text keys during insertion when the
2689
revision id was deterministically unique. (Robert Collins)
2690
2691
* Committing a change which is not a merge and does not change the number of
2692
files in the tree is faster by utilising the data about whether files are
2693
changed to determine if the tree is unchanged rather than recalculating
2694
it at the end of the commit process. (Robert Collins)
2695
2696
* Inventory serialisation no longer double-sha's the content.
2697
(Robert Collins)
2698
2699
* Knit text reconstruction now avoids making copies of the lines list for
2700
interim texts when building a single text. The new ``apply_delta`` method
2701
on ``KnitContent`` aids this by allowing modification of the revision id
2702
such objects represent. (Robert Collins)
2703
2704
* Pack indices are now partially parsed for specific key lookup using a
2705
bisection approach. (Robert Collins)
2706
2707
* Partial commits are now approximately 40% faster by walking over the
2708
unselected current tree more efficiently. (Robert Collins)
2709
2710
* XML inventory serialisation takes 20% less time while being stricter about
2711
the contents. (Robert Collins)
2712
2713
* Graph ``heads()`` queries have been fixed to no longer access all history
2714
unnecessarily. (Robert Collins)
2715
2716
IMPROVEMENTS:
2717
2718
* ``bzr+https://`` smart server across https now supported.
2719
(John Ferlito, Martin Pool, #128456)
2720
2721
* Mutt is now a supported mail client; set ``mail_client=mutt`` in your
2722
bazaar.conf and ``send`` will use mutt. (Keir Mierle)
2723
2724
* New option ``-c``/``--change`` for ``merge`` command for cherrypicking
2725
changes from one revision. (Alexander Belchenko, #141368)
2726
2727
* Show encodings, locale and list of plugins in the traceback message.
2728
(Martin Pool, #63894)
2729
2730
* Experimental directory formats can now be marked with
2731
``experimental = True`` during registration. (Ian Clatworthy)
2732
2733
DOCUMENTATION:
2734
2735
* New *Bazaar in Five Minutes* guide. (Matthew Revell)
2736
2737
* The hooks reference documentation is now converted to html as expected.
2738
(Ian Clatworthy)
2739
2740
BUG FIXES:
2741
2742
* Connection error reporting for the smart server has been fixed to
2743
display a user friendly message instead of a traceback.
2744
(Ian Clatworthy, #115601)
2745
2746
* Make sure to use ``O_BINARY`` when opening files to check their
2747
sha1sum. (Alexander Belchenko, John Arbash Meinel, #153493)
2748
2749
* Fix a problem with Win32 handling of the executable bit.
2750
(John Arbash Meinel, #149113)
2751
2752
* ``bzr+ssh://`` and ``sftp://`` URLs that do not specify ports explicitly
2753
no longer assume that means port 22. This allows people using OpenSSH to
2754
override the default port in their ``~/.ssh/config`` if they wish. This
2755
fixes a bug introduced in bzr 0.91. (Andrew Bennetts, #146715)
2756
2757
* Commands reporting exceptions can now be profiled and still have their
2758
data correctly dumped to a file. For example, a ``bzr commit`` with
2759
no changes still reports the operation as pointless but doing so no
2760
longer throws away the profiling data if this command is run with
2761
``--lsprof-file callgrind.out.ci`` say. (Ian Clatworthy)
2762
2763
* Fallback to ftp when paramiko is not installed and sftp can't be used for
2764
``tests/commands`` so that the test suite is still usable without
2765
paramiko.
2766
(Vincent Ladeuil, #59150)
2767
2768
* Fix commit ordering in corner case. (Aaron Bentley, #94975)
2769
2770
* Fix long standing bug in partial commit when there are renames
2771
left in tree. (Robert Collins, #140419)
2772
2773
* Fix selftest semi-random noise during http related tests.
2774
(Vincent Ladeuil, #140614)
2775
2776
* Fix typo in ftp.py making the reconnection fail on temporary errors.
2777
(Vincent Ladeuil, #154259)
2778
2779
* Fix failing test by comparing real paths to cover the case where the TMPDIR
2780
contains a symbolic link.
2781
(Vincent Ladeuil, #141382).
2782
2783
* Fix log against smart server branches that don't support tags.
2784
(James Westby, #140615)
2785
2786
* Fix pycurl http implementation by defining error codes from
2787
pycurl instead of relying on an old curl definition.
2788
(Vincent Ladeuil, #147530)
2789
2790
* Fix 'unprintable error' message when displaying BzrCheckError and
2791
some other exceptions on Python 2.5.
2792
(Martin Pool, #144633)
2793
2794
* Fix ``Inventory.copy()`` and add test for it. (Jelmer Vernooij)
2795
2796
* Handles default value for ListOption in cmd_commit.
2797
(Vincent Ladeuil, #140432)
2798
2799
* HttpServer and FtpServer need to be closed properly or a listening socket
2800
will remain opened.
2801
(Vincent Ladeuil, #140055)
2802
2803
* Monitor the .bzr directory created in the top level test
2804
directory to detect leaking tests.
2805
(Vincent Ladeuil, #147986)
2806
2807
* The basename, not the full path, is now used when checking whether
2808
the profiling dump file begins with ``callgrind.out`` or not. This
2809
fixes a bug reported by Aaron Bentley on IRC. (Ian Clatworthy)
2810
2811
* Trivial fix for invoking command ``reconfigure`` without arguments.
2812
(Rob Weir, #141629)
2813
2814
* ``WorkingTree.rename_one`` will now raise an error if normalisation of the
2815
new path causes bzr to be unable to access the file. (Robert Collins)
2816
2817
* Correctly detect a NoSuchFile when using a filezilla server. (Gary van der
2818
Merwe)
2819
2820
API BREAKS:
2821
2822
* ``bzrlib.index.GraphIndex`` now requires a size parameter to the
2823
constructor, for enabling bisection searches. (Robert Collins)
2824
2825
* ``CommitBuilder.record_entry_contents`` now requires the root entry of a
2826
tree be supplied to it, previously failing to do so would trigger a
2827
deprecation warning. (Robert Collins)
2828
2829
* ``KnitVersionedFile.add*`` will no longer cache added records even when
2830
enable_cache() has been called - the caching feature is now exclusively for
2831
reading existing data. (Robert Collins)
2832
2833
* ``ReadOnlyLockError`` is deprecated; ``LockFailed`` is usually more
2834
appropriate. (Martin Pool)
2835
2836
* Removed ``bzrlib.transport.TransportLogger`` - please see the new
2837
``trace+`` transport instead. (Robert Collins)
2838
2839
* Removed previously deprecated varargs interface to ``TestCase.run_bzr`` and
2840
deprecated methods ``TestCase.capture`` and ``TestCase.run_bzr_captured``.
2841
(Martin Pool)
2842
2843
* Removed previous deprecated ``basis_knit`` parameter to the
2844
``KnitVersionedFile`` constructor. (Robert Collins)
2845
2846
* Special purpose method ``TestCase.run_bzr_decode`` is moved to the test_non_ascii
2847
class that needs it.
2848
(Martin Pool)
2849
2850
* The class ``bzrlib.repofmt.knitrepo.KnitRepository3`` has been folded into
2851
``KnitRepository`` by parameters to the constructor. (Robert Collins)
2852
2853
* The ``VersionedFile`` interface now allows content checks to be bypassed
2854
by supplying check_content=False. This saves nearly 30% of the minimum
2855
cost to store a version of a file. (Robert Collins)
2856
2857
* Tree's with bad state such as files with no length or sha will no longer
2858
be silently accepted by the repository XML serialiser. To serialise
2859
inventories without such data, pass working=True to write_inventory.
2860
(Robert Collins)
2861
2862
* ``VersionedFile.fix_parents`` has been removed as a harmful API.
2863
``VersionedFile.join`` will no longer accept different parents on either
2864
side of a join - it will either ignore them, or error, depending on the
2865
implementation. See notes when upgrading for more information.
2866
(Robert Collins)
2867
2868
INTERNALS:
2869
2870
* ``bzrlib.transport.Transport.put_file`` now returns the number of bytes
2871
put by the method call, to allow avoiding stat-after-write or
2872
housekeeping in callers. (Robert Collins)
2873
2874
* ``bzrlib.xml_serializer.Serializer`` is now responsible for checking that
2875
mandatory attributes are present on serialisation and deserialisation.
2876
This fixes some holes in API usage and allows better separation between
2877
physical storage and object serialisation. (Robert Collins)
2878
2879
* New class ``bzrlib.errors.InternalBzrError`` which is just a convenient
2880
shorthand for deriving from BzrError and setting internal_error = True.
2881
(Robert Collins)
2882
2883
* New method ``bzrlib.mutabletree.update_to_one_parent_via_delta`` for
2884
moving the state of a parent tree to a new version via a delta rather than
2885
a complete replacement tree. (Robert Collins)
2886
2887
* New method ``bzrlib.osutils.minimum_path_selection`` useful for removing
2888
duplication from user input, when a user mentions both a path and an item
2889
contained within that path. (Robert Collins)
2890
2891
* New method ``bzrlib.repository.Repository.is_write_locked`` useful for
2892
determining if a repository is write locked. (Robert Collins)
2893
2894
* New method on ``bzrlib.tree.Tree`` ``path_content_summary`` provides a
2895
tuple containing the key information about a path for commit processing
2896
to complete. (Robert Collins)
2897
2898
* New method on xml serialisers, write_inventory_to_lines, which matches the
2899
API used by knits for adding content. (Robert Collins)
2900
2901
* New module ``bzrlib.bisect_multi`` with generic multiple-bisection-at-once
2902
logic, currently only available for byte-based lookup
2903
(``bisect_multi_bytes``). (Robert Collins)
2904
2905
* New helper ``bzrlib.tuned_gzip.bytes_to_gzip`` which takes a byte string
2906
and returns a gzipped version of the same. This is used to avoid a bunch
2907
of api friction during adding of knit hunks. (Robert Collins)
2908
2909
* New parameter on ``bzrlib.transport.Transport.readv``
2910
``adjust_for_latency`` which changes readv from returning strictly the
2911
requested data to inserted return larger ranges and in forward read order
2912
to reduce the effect of network latency. (Robert Collins)
2913
2914
* New parameter yield_parents on ``Inventory.iter_entries_by_dir`` which
2915
causes the parents of a selected id to be returned recursively, so all the
2916
paths from the root down to each element of selected_file_ids are
2917
returned. (Robert Collins)
2918
2919
* Knit joining has been enhanced to support plain to annotated conversion
2920
and annotated to plain conversion. (Ian Clatworthy)
2921
2922
* The CommitBuilder method ``record_entry_contents`` now returns summary
2923
information about the effect of the commit on the repository. This tuple
2924
contains an inventory delta item if the entry changed from the basis, and a
2925
boolean indicating whether a new file graph node was recorded.
2926
(Robert Collins)
2927
2928
* The python path used in the Makefile can now be overridden.
2929
(Andrew Bennetts, Ian Clatworthy)
2930
2931
TESTING:
2932
2933
* New transport implementation ``trace+`` which is useful for testing,
2934
logging activity taken to its _activity attribute. (Robert Collins)
2935
2936
* When running bzr commands within the test suite, internal exceptions are
2937
not caught and reported in the usual way, but rather allowed to propagate
2938
up and be visible to the test suite. A new API ``run_bzr_catch_user_errors``
2939
makes this behavior available to other users.
2940
(Martin Pool)
2941
2942
* New method ``TestCase.call_catch_warnings`` for testing methods that
2943
raises a Python warning. (Martin Pool)
2944
2945
2946
bzr 0.91 2007-09-26
2947
-------------------
2948
2949
BUG FIXES:
2950
2951
* Print a warning instead of aborting the ``python setup.py install``
2952
process if building of a C extension is not possible.
2953
(Lukáš Lalinský, Alexander Belchenko)
2954
2955
* Fix commit ordering in corner case (Aaron Bentley, #94975)
2956
2957
* Fix ''bzr info bzr://host/'' and other operations on ''bzr://' URLs with
2958
an implicit port. We were incorrectly raising PathNotChild due to
2959
inconsistent treatment of the ''_port'' attribute on the Transport object.
2960
(Andrew Bennetts, #133965)
2961
2962
* Make RemoteRepository.sprout cope gracefully with servers that don't
2963
support the ``Repository.tarball`` request.
2964
(Andrew Bennetts)
2965
2966
2967
bzr 0.91rc2 2007-09-11
2968
----------------------
2969
2970
* Replaced incorrect tarball for previous release; a debug statement was left
2971
in bzrlib/remote.py.
2972
2973
2974
bzr 0.91rc1 2007-09-11
2975
----------------------
2976
2977
CHANGES:
2978
2979
* The default branch and repository format has changed to
2980
``dirstate-tags``, so tag commands are active by default.
2981
This format is compatible with Bazaar 0.15 and later.
2982
This incidentally fixes bug #126141.
2983
(Martin Pool)
2984
2985
* ``--quiet`` or ``-q`` is no longer a global option. If present, it
2986
must now appear after the command name. Scripts doing things like
2987
``bzr -q missing`` need to be rewritten as ``bzr missing -q``.
2988
(Ian Clatworthy)
2989
2990
FEATURES:
2991
2992
* New option ``--author`` in ``bzr commit`` to specify the author of the
2993
change, if it's different from the committer. ``bzr log`` and
2994
``bzr annotate`` display the author instead of the committer.
2995
(Lukáš Lalinský)
2996
2997
* In addition to global options and command specific options, a set of
2998
standard options are now supported. Standard options are legal for
2999
all commands. The initial set of standard options are:
3000
3001
* ``--help`` or ``-h`` - display help message
3002
* ``--verbose`` or ``-v`` - display additional information
3003
* ``--quiet`` or ``-q`` - only output warnings and errors.
3004
3005
Unlike global options, standard options can be used in aliases and
3006
may have command-specific help. (Ian Clatworthy)
3007
3008
* Verbosity level processing has now been unified. If ``--verbose``
3009
or ``-v`` is specified on the command line multiple times, the
3010
verbosity level is made positive the first time then increased.
3011
If ``--quiet`` or ``-q`` is specified on the command line
3012
multiple times, the verbosity level is made negative the first
3013
time then decreased. To get the default verbosity level of zero,
3014
either specify none of the above , ``--no-verbose`` or ``--no-quiet``.
3015
Note that most commands currently ignore the magnitude of the
3016
verbosity level but do respect *quiet vs normal vs verbose* when
3017
generating output. (Ian Clatworthy)
3018
3019
* ``Branch.hooks`` now supports ``pre_commit`` hook. The hook's signature
3020
is documented in BranchHooks constructor. (Nam T. Nguyen, #102747)
3021
3022
* New ``Repository.stream_knit_data_for_revisions`` request added to the
3023
network protocol for greatly reduced roundtrips when retrieving a set of
3024
revisions. (Andrew Bennetts)
3025
3026
BUG FIXES:
3027
3028
* ``bzr plugins`` now lists the version number for each plugin in square
3029
brackets after the path. (Robert Collins, #125421)
3030
3031
* Pushing, pulling and branching branches with subtree references was not
3032
copying the subtree weave, preventing the file graph from being accessed
3033
and causing errors in commits in clones. (Robert Collins)
3034
3035
* Suppress warning "integer argument expected, got float" from Paramiko,
3036
which sometimes caused false test failures. (Martin Pool)
3037
3038
* Fix bug in bundle 4 that could cause attempts to write data to wrong
3039
versionedfile. (Aaron Bentley)
3040
3041
* Diffs generated using "diff -p" no longer break the patch parser.
3042
(Aaron Bentley)
3043
3044
* get_transport treats an empty possible_transports list the same as a non-
3045
empty one. (Aaron Bentley)
3046
3047
* patch verification for merge directives is reactivated, and works with
3048
CRLF and CR files. (Aaron Bentley)
3049
3050
* Accept ..\ as a path in revision specifiers. This fixes for example
3051
"-r branch:..\other-branch" on Windows. (Lukáš Lalinský)
3052
3053
* ``BZR_PLUGIN_PATH`` may now contain trailing slashes.
3054
(Blake Winton, #129299)
3055
3056
* man page no longer lists hidden options (#131667, Aaron Bentley)
3057
3058
* ``uncommit --help`` now explains the -r option adequately. (Daniel
3059
Watkins, #106726)
3060
3061
* Error messages are now better formatted with parameters (such as
3062
filenames) quoted when necessary. This avoids confusion when directory
3063
names ending in a '.' at the end of messages were confused with a
3064
full stop that may or not have been there. (Daniel Watkins, #129791)
3065
3066
* Fix ``status FILE -r X..Y``. (Lukáš Lalinský)
3067
3068
* If a particular command is an alias, ``help`` will show the alias
3069
instead of claiming there is no help for said alias. (Daniel Watkins,
3070
#133548)
3071
3072
* TreeTransform-based operations, like pull, merge, revert, and branch,
3073
now roll back if they encounter an error. (Aaron Bentley, #67699)
3074
3075
* ``bzr commit`` now exits cleanly if a character unsupported by the
3076
current encoding is used in the commit message. (Daniel Watkins,
3077
#116143)
3078
3079
* bzr send uses default values for ranges when only half of an elipsis
3080
is specified ("-r..5" or "-r5.."). (#61685, Aaron Bentley)
3081
3082
* Avoid trouble when Windows ssh calls itself 'plink' but no plink
3083
binary is present. (Martin Albisetti, #107155)
3084
3085
* ``bzr remove`` should remove clean subtrees. Now it will remove (without
3086
needing ``--force``) subtrees that contain no files with text changes or
3087
modified files. With ``--force`` it removes the subtree regardless of
3088
text changes or unknown files. Directories with renames in or out (but
3089
not changed otherwise) will now be removed without needing ``--force``.
3090
Unknown ignored files will be deleted without needing ``--force``.
3091
(Marius Kruger, #111665)
3092
3093
* When two plugins conflict, the source of both the losing and now the
3094
winning definition is shown. (Konstantin Mikhaylov, #5454)
3095
3096
* When committing to a branch, the location being committed to is
3097
displayed. (Daniel Watkins, #52479)
3098
3099
* ``bzr --version`` takes care about encoding of stdout, especially
3100
when output is redirected. (Alexander Belchenko, #131100)
3101
3102
* Prompt for an ftp password if none is provided.
3103
(Vincent Ladeuil, #137044)
3104
3105
* Reuse bound branch associated transport to avoid multiple
3106
connections.
3107
(Vincent Ladeuil, #128076, #131396)
3108
3109
* Overwrite conflicting tags by ``push`` and ``pull`` if the
3110
``--overwrite`` option is specified. (Lukáš Lalinský, #93947)
3111
3112
* In checkouts, tags are copied into the master branch when created,
3113
changed or deleted, and are copied into the checkout when it is
3114
updated. (Martin Pool, #93856, #93860)
3115
3116
* Print a warning instead of aborting the ``python setup.py install``
3117
process if building of a C extension is not possible.
3118
(Lukáš Lalinský, Alexander Belchenko)
3119
3120
IMPROVEMENTS:
3121
3122
* Add the option "--show-diff" to the commit command in order to display
3123
the diff during the commit log creation. (Goffredo Baroncelli)
3124
3125
* ``pull`` and ``merge`` are much faster at installing bundle format 4.
3126
(Aaron Bentley)
3127
3128
* ``pull -v`` no longer includes deltas, making it much faster.
3129
(Aaron Bentley)
3130
3131
* ``send`` now sends the directive as an attachment by default.
3132
(Aaron Bentley, Lukáš Lalinský, Alexander Belchenko)
3133
3134
* Documentation updates (Martin Albisetti)
3135
3136
* Help on debug flags is now included in ``help global-options``.
3137
(Daniel Watkins, #124853)
3138
3139
* Parameters passed on the command line are checked to ensure they are
3140
supported by the encoding in use. (Daniel Watkins)
3141
3142
* The compression used within the bzr repository has changed from zlib
3143
level 9 to the zlib default level. This improves commit performance with
3144
only a small increase in space used (and in some cases a reduction in
3145
space). (Robert Collins)
3146
3147
* Initial commit no longer SHAs files twice and now reuses the path
3148
rather than looking it up again, making it faster.
3149
(Ian Clatworthy)
3150
3151
* New option ``-c``/``--change`` for ``diff`` and ``status`` to show
3152
changes in one revision. (Lukáš Lalinský)
3153
3154
* If versioned files match a given ignore pattern, a warning is now
3155
given. (Daniel Watkins, #48623)
3156
3157
* ``bzr status`` now has -S as a short name for --short and -V as a
3158
short name for --versioned. These have been added to assist users
3159
migrating from Subversion: ``bzr status -SV`` is now like
3160
``svn status -q``. (Daniel Watkins, #115990)
3161
3162
* Added C implementation of ``PatienceSequenceMatcher``, which is about
3163
10x faster than the Python version. This speeds up commands that
3164
need file diffing, such as ``bzr commit`` or ``bzr diff``.
3165
(Lukáš Lalinský)
3166
3167
* HACKING has been extended with a large section on core developer tasks.
3168
(Ian Clatworthy)
3169
3170
* Add ``branches`` and ``standalone-trees`` as online help topics and
3171
include them as Concepts within the User Reference.
3172
(Paul Moore, Ian Clatworthy)
3173
3174
* ``check`` can detect versionedfile parent references that are
3175
inconsistent with revision and inventory info, and ``reconcile`` can fix
3176
them. These faulty references were generated by 0.8-era releases,
3177
so repositories which were manipulated by old bzrs should be
3178
checked, and possibly reconciled ASAP. (Aaron Bentley, Andrew Bennetts)
3179
3180
API BREAKS:
3181
3182
* ``Branch.append_revision`` is removed altogether; please use
3183
``Branch.set_last_revision_info`` instead. (Martin Pool)
3184
3185
* CommitBuilder now advertises itself as requiring the root entry to be
3186
supplied. This only affects foreign repository implementations which reuse
3187
CommitBuilder directly and have changed record_entry_contents to require
3188
that the root not be supplied. This should be precisely zero plugins
3189
affected. (Robert Collins)
3190
3191
* The ``add_lines`` methods on ``VersionedFile`` implementations has changed
3192
its return value to include the sha1 and length of the inserted text. This
3193
allows the avoidance of double-sha1 calculations during commit.
3194
(Robert Collins)
3195
3196
* ``Transport.should_cache`` has been removed. It was not called in the
3197
previous release. (Martin Pool)
3198
3199
TESTING:
3200
3201
* Tests may now raise TestNotApplicable to indicate they shouldn't be
3202
run in a particular scenario. (Martin Pool)
3203
3204
* New function multiply_tests_from_modules to give a simpler interface
3205
to test parameterization. (Martin Pool, Robert Collins)
3206
3207
* ``Transport.should_cache`` has been removed. It was not called in the
3208
previous release. (Martin Pool)
3209
3210
* NULL_REVISION is returned to indicate the null revision, not None.
3211
(Aaron Bentley)
3212
3213
* Use UTF-8 encoded StringIO for log tests to avoid failures on
3214
non-ASCII committer names. (Lukáš Lalinský)
3215
3216
INTERNALS:
3217
3218
* ``bzrlib.plugin.all_plugins`` has been deprecated in favour of
3219
``bzrlib.plugin.plugins()`` which returns PlugIn objects that provide
3220
useful functionality for determining the path of a plugin, its tests, and
3221
its version information. (Robert Collins)
3222
3223
* Add the option user_encoding to the function 'show_diff_trees()'
3224
in order to move the user encoding at the UI level. (Goffredo Baroncelli)
3225
3226
* Add the function make_commit_message_template_encoded() and the function
3227
edit_commit_message_encoded() which handle encoded strings.
3228
This is done in order to mix the commit messages (which is a unicode
3229
string), and the diff which is a raw string. (Goffredo Baroncelli)
3230
3231
* CommitBuilder now defaults to using add_lines_with_ghosts, reducing
3232
overhead on non-weave repositories which don't require all parents to be
3233
present. (Robert Collins)
3234
3235
* Deprecated method ``find_previous_heads`` on
3236
``bzrlib.inventory.InventoryEntry``. This has been superseded by the use
3237
of ``parent_candidates`` and a separate heads check via the repository
3238
API. (Robert Collins)
3239
3240
* New trace function ``mutter_callsite`` will print out a subset of the
3241
stack to the log, which can be useful for gathering debug details.
3242
(Robert Collins)
3243
3244
* ``bzrlib.pack.ContainerWriter`` now tracks how many records have been
3245
added via a public attribute records_written. (Robert Collins)
3246
3247
* New method ``bzrlib.transport.Transport.get_recommended_page_size``.
3248
This provides a hint to users of transports as to the reasonable
3249
minimum data to read. In principle this can take latency and
3250
bandwidth into account on a per-connection basis, but for now it
3251
just has hard coded values based on the url. (e.g. http:// has a large
3252
page size, file:// has a small one.) (Robert Collins)
3253
3254
* New method on ``bzrlib.transport.Transport`` ``open_write_stream`` allows
3255
incremental addition of data to a file without requiring that all the
3256
data be buffered in memory. (Robert Collins)
3257
3258
* New methods on ``bzrlib.knit.KnitVersionedFile``:
3259
``get_data_stream(versions)``, ``insert_data_stream(stream)`` and
3260
``get_format_signature()``. These provide some infrastructure for
3261
efficiently streaming the knit data for a set of versions over the smart
3262
protocol.
3263
3264
* Knits with no annotation cache still produce correct annotations.
3265
(Aaron Bentley)
3266
3267
* Three new methods have been added to ``bzrlib.trace``:
3268
``set_verbosity_level``, ``get_verbosity_level`` and ``is_verbose``.
3269
``set_verbosity_level`` expects a numeric value: negative for quiet,
3270
zero for normal, positive for verbose. The size of the number can be
3271
used to determine just how quiet or verbose the application should be.
3272
The existing ``be_quiet`` and ``is_quiet`` routines have been
3273
integrated into this new scheme. (Ian Clatworthy)
3274
3275
* Options can now be delcared with a ``custom_callback`` parameter. If
3276
set, this routine is called after the option is processed. This feature
3277
is now used by the standard options ``verbose`` and ``quiet`` so that
3278
setting one implicitly resets the other. (Ian Clatworthy)
3279
3280
* Rather than declaring a new option from scratch in order to provide
3281
custom help, a centrally registered option can be decorated using the
3282
new ``bzrlib.Option.custom_help`` routine. In particular, this routine
3283
is useful when declaring better help for the ``verbose`` and ``quiet``
3284
standard options as the base definition of these is now more complex
3285
than before thanks to their use of a custom callback. (Ian Clatworthy)
3286
3287
* Tree._iter_changes(specific_file=[]) now iterates through no files,
3288
instead of iterating through all files. None is used to iterate through
3289
all files. (Aaron Bentley)
3290
3291
* WorkingTree.revert() now accepts None to revert all files. The use of
3292
[] to revert all files is deprecated. (Aaron Bentley)

-------------------
3297
3298
IMPROVEMENTS:
3299
3300
* Documentation is now organized into multiple directories with a level
3301
added for different languages or locales. Added the Mini Tutorial
3302
and Quick Start Summary (en) documents from the Wiki, improving the
3303
content and readability of the former. Formatted NEWS as Release Notes
3304
complete with a Table of Conents, one heading per release. Moved the
3305
Developer Guide into the main document catalog and provided a link
3306
from the developer document catalog back to the main one.

(Ian Clatworthy, Sabin Iacob, Alexander Belchenko)
3308
3309
3310
API CHANGES:
3311
3312
* The static convenience method ``BzrDir.create_repository``
3313
is deprecated. Callers should instead create a ``BzrDir`` instance
3314
and call ``create_repository`` on that. (Martin Pool)
3315
3316
3317
bzr 0.90rc1 2007-08-14
3318
----------------------
3319
3320
BUGFIXES:
3321
3322
* ``bzr init`` should connect to the remote location one time only. We
3323
have been connecting several times because we forget to pass around the
3324
Transport object. This modifies ``BzrDir.create_branch_convenience``,
3325
so that we can give it the Transport we already have.
3326
(John Arbash Meinel, Vincent Ladeuil, #111702)
3327
3328
* Get rid of sftp connection cache (get rid of the FTP one too).
3329
(Vincent Ladeuil, #43731)
3330
3331
* bzr branch {local|remote} remote don't try to create a working tree
3332
anymore.
3333
(Vincent Ladeuil, #112173)
3334
3335
* All identified multiple connections for a single bzr command have been
3336
fixed. See bzrlib/tests/commands directory.
3337
(Vincent Ladeuil)
3338
3339
* ``bzr rm`` now does not insist on ``--force`` to delete files that
3340
have been renamed but not otherwise modified. (Marius Kruger,
3341
#111664)
3342
3343
* ``bzr selftest --bench`` no longer emits deprecation warnings
3344
(Lukáš Lalinský)
3345
3346
* ``bzr status`` now honours FILE parameters for conflict lists
3347
(Aaron Bentley, #127606)
3348
3349
* ``bzr checkout`` now honours -r when reconstituting a working tree.
3350
It also honours -r 0. (Aaron Bentley, #127708)
3351
3352
* ``bzr add *`` no more fails on Windows if working tree contains
3353
non-ascii file names. (Kuno Meyer, #127361)
3354
3355
* allow ``easy_install bzr`` runs without fatal errors.
3356
(Alexander Belchenko, #125521)
3357
3358
* Graph._filter_candidate_lca does not raise KeyError if a candidate
3359
is eliminated just before it would normally be examined. (Aaron Bentley)
3360
3361
* SMTP connection failures produce a nice message, not a traceback.
3362
(Aaron Bentley)
3363
3364
IMPROVEMENTS:
3365
3366
* Don't show "dots" progress indicators when run non-interactively, such
3367
as from cron. (Martin Pool)
3368
3369
* ``info`` now formats locations more nicely and lists "submit" and
3370
"public" branches (Aaron Bentley)
3371
3372
* New ``pack`` command that will trigger database compression within
3373
the repository (Robert Collins)
3374
3375
* Implement ``_KnitIndex._load_data`` in a pyrex extension. The pyrex
3376
version is approximately 2-3x faster at parsing a ``.kndx`` file.
3377
Which yields a measurable improvement for commands which have to
3378
read from the repository, such as a 1s => 0.75s improvement in
3379
``bzr diff`` when there are changes to be shown. (John Arbash Meinel)
3380
3381
* Merge is now faster. Depending on the scenario, it can be more than 2x
3382
faster. (Aaron Bentley)
3383
3384
* Give a clearer warning, and allow ``python setup.py install`` to
3385
succeed even if pyrex is not available.
3386
(John Arbash Meinel)
3387
3388
* ``DirState._read_dirblocks`` now has an optional Pyrex
3389
implementation. This improves the speed of any command that has to
3390
read the entire DirState. (``diff``, ``status``, etc, improve by
3391
about 10%).
3392
``bisect_dirblocks`` has also been improved, which helps all
3393
``_get_entry`` type calls (whenever we are searching for a
3394
particular entry in the in-memory DirState).
3395
(John Arbash Meinel)
3396
3397
* ``bzr pull`` and ``bzr push`` no longer do a complete walk of the
3398
branch revision history for ui display unless -v is supplied.
3399
(Robert Collins)
3400
3401
* ``bzr log -rA..B`` output shifted to the left margin if the log only
3402
contains merge revisions. (Kent Gibson)
3403
3404
* The ``plugins`` command is now public with improved help.
3405
(Ian Clatworthy)
3406
3407
* New bundle and merge directive formats are faster to generate, and
3408
3409
* Annotate merge now works when there are local changes. (Aaron Bentley)
3410
3411
* Commit now only shows the progress in terms of directories instead of
3412
entries. (Ian Clatworthy)
3413
3414
* Fix ``KnitRepository.get_revision_graph`` to not request the graph 2
3415
times. This makes ``get_revision_graph`` 2x faster. (John Arbash
3416
Meinel)
3417
3418
* Fix ``VersionedFile.get_graph()`` to avoid using
3419
``set.difference_update(other)``, which has bad scaling when
3420
``other`` is large. This improves ``VF.get_graph([version_id])`` for
3421
a 12.5k graph from 2.9s down to 200ms. (John Arbash Meinel)
3422
3423
* The ``--lsprof-file`` option now generates output for KCacheGrind if
3424
the file starts with ``callgrind.out``. This matches the default file
3425
filtering done by KCacheGrind's Open Dialog. (Ian Clatworthy)
3426
3427
* Fix ``bzr update`` to avoid an unnecessary
3428
``branch.get_master_branch`` call, which avoids 1 extra connection
3429
to the remote server. (Partial fix for #128076, John Arbash Meinel)
3430
3431
* Log errors from the smart server in the trace file, to make debugging
3432
test failures (and live failures!) easier. (Andrew Bennetts)
3433
3434
* The HTML version of the man page has been superceded by a more
3435
comprehensive manual called the Bazaar User Reference. This manual
3436
is completed generated from the online help topics. As part of this
3437
change, limited reStructuredText is now explicitly supported in help
3438
topics and command help with 'unnatural' markup being removed prior
3439
to display by the online help or inclusion in the man page.
3440
(Ian Clatworthy)
3441
3442
* HTML documentation now use files extension ``*.html``
3443
(Alexander Belchenko)
3444
3445
* The cache of ignore definitions is now cleared in WorkingTree.unlock()
3446
so that changes to .bzrignore aren't missed. (#129694, Daniel Watkins)
3447
3448
* ``bzr selftest --strict`` fails if there are any missing features or
3449
expected test failures. (Daniel Watkins, #111914)
3450
3451
* Link to registration survey added to README. (Ian Clatworthy)
3452
3453
* Windows standalone installer show link to registration survey
3454
when installation finished. (Alexander Belchenko)
3455
3456
LIBRARY API BREAKS:
3457
3458
* Deprecated dictionary ``bzrlib.option.SHORT_OPTIONS`` removed.
3459
Options are now required to provide a help string and it must
3460
comply with the style guide by being one or more sentences with an
3461
initial capital and final period. (Martin Pool)
3462
3463
* KnitIndex.get_parents now returns tuples. (Robert Collins)
3464
3465
* Ancient unused ``Repository.text_store`` attribute has been removed.
3466
(Robert Collins)
3467
3468
* The ``bzrlib.pack`` interface has changed to use tuples of bytestrings
3469
rather than just bytestrings, making it easier to represent multiple
3470
element names. As this interface was not used by any internal facilities
3471
since it was introduced in 0.18 no API compatibility is being preserved.
3472
The serialised form of these packs is identical with 0.18 when a single
3473
element tuple is in use. (Robert Collins)
3474
3475
INTERNALS:
3476
3477
* merge now uses ``iter_changes`` to calculate changes, which makes room for
3478
future performance increases. It is also more consistent with other
3479
operations that perform comparisons, and reduces reliance on
3480
Tree.inventory. (Aaron Bentley)
3481
3482
* Refactoring of transport classes connected to a remote server.
3483
ConnectedTransport is a new class that serves as a basis for all
3484
transports needing to connect to a remote server. transport.split_url
3485
have been deprecated, use the static method on the object instead. URL
3486
tests have been refactored too.
3487
(Vincent Ladeuil)
3488
3489
* Better connection sharing for ConnectedTransport objects.
3490
transport.get_transport() now accepts a 'possible_transports' parameter.
3491
If a newly requested transport can share a connection with one of the
3492
list, it will.
3493
(Vincent Ladeuil)
3494
3495
* Most functions now accept ``bzrlib.revision.NULL_REVISION`` to indicate
3496
the null revision, and consider using ``None`` for this purpose
3497
deprecated. (Aaron Bentley)
3498
3499
* New ``index`` module with abstract index functionality. This will be
3500
used during the planned changes in the repository layer. Currently the
3501
index layer provides a graph aware immutable index, a builder for the
3502
same index type to allow creating them, and finally a composer for
3503
such indices to allow the use of many indices in a single query. The
3504
index performance is not optimised, however the API is stable to allow
3505
development on top of the index. (Robert Collins)
3506
3507
* ``bzrlib.dirstate.cmp_by_dirs`` can be used to compare two paths by
3508
their directory sections. This is equivalent to comparing
3509
``path.split('/')``, only without having to split the paths.
3510
This has a Pyrex implementation available.
3511
(John Arbash Meinel)
3512
3513
* New transport decorator 'unlistable+' which disables the list_dir
3514
functionality for testing.
3515
3516
* Deprecated ``change_entry`` in transform.py. (Ian Clatworthy)
3517
3518
* RevisionTree.get_weave is now deprecated. Tree.plan_merge is now used
3519
for performing annotate-merge. (Aaron Bentley)
3520
3521
* New EmailMessage class to create email messages. (Adeodato Simó)
3522
3523
* Unused functions on the private interface KnitIndex have been removed.
3524
(Robert Collins)
3525
3526
* New ``knit.KnitGraphIndex`` which provides a ``KnitIndex`` layered on top
3527
of a ``index.GraphIndex``. (Robert Collins)
3528
3529
* New ``knit.KnitVersionedFile.iter_parents`` method that allows querying
3530
the parents of many knit nodes at once, reducing round trips to the
3531
underlying index. (Robert Collins)
3532
3533
* Graph now has an is_ancestor method, various bits use it.
3534
(Aaron Bentley)
3535
3536
* The ``-Dhpss`` flag now includes timing information. As well as
3537
logging when a new connection is opened. (John Arbash Meinel)
3538
3539
* ``bzrlib.pack.ContainerWriter`` now returns an offset, length tuple to
3540
callers when inserting data, allowing generation of readv style access
3541
during pack creation, without needing a separate pass across the output
3542
pack to gather such details. (Robert Collins)
3543
3544
* ``bzrlib.pack.make_readv_reader`` allows readv based access to pack
3545
files that are stored on a transport. (Robert Collins)
3546
3547
* New ``Repository.has_same_location`` method that reports if two
3548
repository objects refer to the same repository (although with some risk
3549
of false negatives). (Andrew Bennetts)
3550
3551
* InterTree.compare now passes require_versioned on correctly.
3552
(Marius Kruger)
3553
3554
* New methods on Repository - ``start_write_group``,
3555
``commit_write_group``, ``abort_write_group`` and ``is_in_write_group`` -
3556
which provide a clean hook point for transactional Repositories - ones
3557
where all the data for a fetch or commit needs to be made atomically
3558
available in one step. This allows the write lock to remain while making
3559
a series of data insertions. (e.g. data conversion). (Robert Collins)
3560
3561
* In ``bzrlib.knit`` the internal interface has been altered to use
3562
3-tuples (index, pos, length) rather than two-tuples (pos, length) to
3563
describe where data in a knit is, allowing knits to be split into
3564
many files. (Robert Collins)
3565
3566
* ``bzrlib.knit._KnitData`` split into cache management and physical access
3567
with two access classes - ``_PackAccess`` and ``_KnitAccess`` defined.
3568
The former provides access into a .pack file, and the latter provides the
3569
current production repository form of .knit files. (Robert Collins)
3570
3571
TESTING:
3572
3573
* Remove selftest ``--clean-output``, ``--numbered-dirs`` and
3574
``--keep-output`` options, which are obsolete now that tests
3575
are done within directories in $TMPDIR. (Martin Pool)
3576
3577
* The SSH_AUTH_SOCK environment variable is now reset to avoid
3578
interaction with any running ssh agents. (Jelmer Vernooij, #125955)
3579
3580
* run_bzr_subprocess handles parameters the same way as run_bzr:
3581
either a string or a list of strings should be passed as the first
3582
parameter. Varargs-style parameters are deprecated. (Aaron Bentley)

3598
* Do not suppress pipe errors, etc. in non-display commands
3599
(Alexander Belchenko, #87178)
3600
3601
* Display a useful error message when the user requests to annotate
3602
a file that is not present in the specified revision.
3603
(James Westby, #122656)
3604
3605
* Commands that use status flags now have a reference to 'help
3606
status-flags'. (Daniel Watkins, #113436)
3607
3608
* Work around python-2.4.1 inhability to correctly parse the
3609

3610
(Vincent Ladeuil, #121889)
3611
3612
* Use exact encoding for merge directives. (Adeodato Simó, #120591)

3614
* Fix tempfile permissions error in smart server tar bundling under
3615
Windows. (Martin _, #119330)
3616
3617
* Fix detection of directory entries in the inventory. (James Westby)

* Fix handling of http code 400: Bad Request When issuing too many ranges.
3620
(Vincent Ladeuil, #115209)
3621
3622
* Issue a CONNECT request when connecting to an https server
3623
via a proxy to enable SSL tunneling.
3624
(Vincent Ladeuil, #120678)
3625
3626
* Fix ``bzr log -r`` to support selecting merge revisions, both
3627
individually and as part of revision ranges.
3628
(Kent Gibson, #4663)
3629
3630
* Don't leave cruft behind when failing to acquire a lockdir.
3631
(Martin Pool, #109169)
3632
3633
* Don't use the '-f' strace option during tests.
3634
(Vincent Ladeuil, #102019).
3635
3636
* Warn when setting ``push_location`` to a value that will be masked by
3637
locations.conf. (Aaron Bentley, #122286)
3638
3639
* Fix commit ordering in corner case (Aaron Bentley, #94975)
3640
3641
* Make annotate behave in a non-ASCII world (Adeodato Simó).
3642
3643
IMPROVEMENTS:
3644
3645
* The --lsprof-file option now dumps a text rendering of the profiling
3646
information if the filename ends in ".txt". It will also convert the
3647
profiling information to a format suitable for KCacheGrind if the
3648
output filename ends in ".callgrind". Fixes to the lsprofcalltree
3649
conversion process by Jean Paul Calderone and Itamar were also merged.
3650
See http://ddaa.net/blog/python/lsprof-calltree. (Ian Clatworthy)
3651
3652
* ``info`` now defaults to non-verbose mode, displaying only paths and
3653
abbreviated format info. ``info -v`` displays all the information
3654
formerly displayed by ``info``. (Aaron Bentley, Adeodato Simó)
3655
3656
* ``bzr missing`` now has better option names ``--this`` and ``--other``.
3657
(Elliot Murphy)
3658
3659
* The internal ``weave-list`` command has become ``versionedfile-list``,
3660
and now lists knits as well as weaves. (Aaron Bentley)
3661
3662
* Automatic merge base selection uses a faster algorithm that chooses
3663
better bases in criss-cross merge situations (Aaron Bentley)
3664
3665
* Progress reporting in ``commit`` has been improved. The various logical
3666
stages are now reported on as follows, namely:
3667
3668
* Collecting changes [Entry x/y] - Stage n/m
3669
* Saving data locally - Stage n/m
3670
* Uploading data to master branch - Stage n/m
3671
* Updating the working tree - Stage n/m
3672
* Running post commit hooks - Stage n/m
3673
3674
If there is no master branch, the 3rd stage is omitted and the total
3675
number of stages is adjusted accordingly.
3676
3677
Each hook that is run after commit is listed with a name (as hooks
3678
can be slow it is useful feedback).
3679
(Ian Clatworthy, Robert Collins)
3680
3681
* Various operations that are now faster due to avoiding unnecessary
3682
topological sorts. (Aaron Bentley)
3683
3684
* Make merge directives robust against broken bundles. (Aaron Bentley)
3685
3686
* The lsprof filename note is emitted via trace.note(), not standard
3687
output. (Aaron Bentley)
3688
3689
* ``bzrlib`` now exports explicit API compatibility information to assist
3690
library users and plugins. See the ``bzrlib.api`` module for details.
3691
(Robert Collins)
3692
3693
* Remove unnecessary lock probes when acquiring a lockdir.
3694
(Martin Pool)
3695
3696
* ``bzr --version`` now shows the location of the bzr log file, which
3697
is especially useful on Windows. (Martin Pool)
3698
3699
* -D now supports hooks to get debug tracing of hooks (though its currently
3700
minimal in nature). (Robert Collins)
3701
3702
* Long log format reports deltas on merge revisions.
3703
(John Arbash Meinel, Kent Gibson)
3704
3705
* Make initial push over ftp more resilient. (John Arbash Meinel)
3706
3707
* Print a summary of changes for update just like pull does.
3708
(Daniel Watkins, #113990)

``bzrlib.repository.RepositoryTestProviderAdapter`` has been moved
3717
to ``bzrlib.tests.repository_implementations``;
3718
``bzrlib.repository.InterRepositoryTestProviderAdapter`` has been moved
3719
to ``bzrlib.tests.interrepository_implementations``;
3720
``bzrlib.transport.TransportTestProviderAdapter`` has moved to
3721
``bzrlib.tests.test_transport_implementations``.
3722
``bzrlib.branch.BranchTestProviderAdapter`` has moved to
3723
``bzrlib.tests.branch_implementations``.
3724
``bzrlib.bzrdir.BzrDirTestProviderAdapter`` has moved to
3725
``bzrlib.tests.bzrdir_implementations``.
3726
``bzrlib.versionedfile.InterVersionedFileTestProviderAdapter`` has moved
3727
to ``bzrlib.tests.interversionedfile_implementations``.
3728
``bzrlib.store.revision.RevisionStoreTestProviderAdapter`` has moved to
3729
``bzrlib.tests.revisionstore_implementations``.
3730
``bzrlib.workingtree.WorkingTreeTestProviderAdapter`` has moved to
3731
``bzrlib.tests.workingtree_implementations``.
3732
These changes are an API break in the testing infrastructure only.

(Robert Collins)
3734
3735
* Relocate TestCaseWithRepository to be more central. (Robert Collins)
3736
3737
* ``bzrlib.add.smart_add_tree`` will no longer perform glob expansion on
3738
win32. Callers of the function should do this and use the new
3739
``MutableTree.smart_add`` method instead. (Robert Collins)
3740
3741
* ``bzrlib.add.glob_expand_for_win32`` is now
3742
``bzrlib.win32utils.glob_expand``. (Robert Collins)
3743
3744
* ``bzrlib.add.FastPath`` is now private and moved to
3745
``bzrlib.mutabletree._FastPath``. (Robert Collins, Martin Pool)
3746
3747
* ``LockDir.wait`` removed. (Martin Pool)
3748
3749
* The ``SmartServer`` hooks API has changed for the ``server_started`` and
3750
``server_stopped`` hooks. The first parameter is now an iterable of
3751
backing URLs rather than a single URL. This is to reflect that many
3752
URLs may map to the external URL of the server. E.g. the server interally
3753
may have a chrooted URL but also the local file:// URL will be at the
3754
same location. (Robert Collins)
3755
3756
INTERNALS:
3757
3758
* New SMTPConnection class to unify email handling. (Adeodato Simó)
3759
3760
* Fix documentation of BzrError. (Adeodato Simó)
3761
3762
* Make BzrBadParameter an internal error. (Adeodato Simó)
3763
3764
* Remove use of 'assert False' to raise an exception unconditionally.
3765
(Martin Pool)
3766
3767
* Give a cleaner error when failing to decode knit index entry.
3768
(Martin Pool)
3769
3770
* TreeConfig would mistakenly search the top level when asked for options
3771
from a section. It now respects the section argument and only
3772
searches the specified section. (James Westby)
3773
3774
* Improve ``make api-docs`` output. (John Arbash Meinel)
3775
3776
* Use os.lstat rather than os.stat for osutils.make_readonly and
3777
osutils.make_writeable. This makes the difftools plugin more
3778
robust when dangling symlinks are found. (Elliot Murphy)
3779
3780
* New ``-Dlock`` option to log (to ~/.bzr.log) information on when
3781
lockdirs are taken or released. (Martin Pool)
3782
3783
* ``bzrlib`` Hooks are now nameable using ``Hooks.name_hook``. This
3784
allows a nicer UI when hooks are running as the current hook can
3785
be displayed. (Robert Collins)
3786
3787
* ``Transport.get`` has had its interface made more clear for ease of use.
3788
Retrieval of a directory must now fail with either 'PathError' at open
3789
time, or raise 'ReadError' on a read. (Robert Collins)
3790
3791
* New method ``_maybe_expand_globs`` on the ``Command`` class for
3792
dealing with unexpanded glob lists - e.g. on the win32 platform. This
3793
was moved from ``bzrlib.add._prepare_file_list``. (Robert Collins)
3794
3795
* ``bzrlib.add.smart_add`` and ``bzrlib.add.smart_add_tree`` are now
3796
deprecated in favour of ``MutableTree.smart_add``. (Robert Collins,
3797
Martin Pool)
3798
3799
* New method ``external_url`` on Transport for obtaining the url to
3800
hand to external processes. (Robert Collins)
3801
3802
* Teach windows installers to build pyrex/C extensions.
3803
(Alexander Belchenko)
3804
3805
TESTING:
3806
3807
* Removed the ``--keep-output`` option from selftest and clean up test
3808
directories as they're used. This reduces the IO load from
3809
running the test suite and cuts the time by about half.
3810
(Andrew Bennetts, Martin Pool)
3811
3812
* Add scenarios as a public attribute on the TestAdapter classes to allow
3813
modification of the generated scenarios before adaption and easier
3814
testing. (Robert Collins)
3815
3816
* New testing support class ``TestScenarioApplier`` which multiplies
3817
out a single teste by a list of supplied scenarios. (RobertCollins)
3818
3819
* Setting ``repository_to_test_repository`` on a repository_implementations
3820
test will cause it to be called during repository creation, allowing the
3821
testing of repository classes which are not based around the Format
3822
concept. For example a repository adapter can be tested in this manner,
3823
by altering the repository scenarios to include a scenario that sets this
3824
attribute during the test parameterisation in
3825
``bzrlib.tests.repository.repository_implementations``. (Robert Collins)
3826
3827
* Clean up many of the APIs for blackbox testing of Bazaar. The standard
3828
interface is now self.run_bzr. The command to run can be passed as
3829
either a list of parameters, a string containing the command line, or
3830
(deprecated) varargs parameters. (Martin Pool)
3831
3832
* The base TestCase now isolates tests from -D parameters by clearing
3833
``debug.debug_flags`` and restores it afterwards. (Robert Collins)
3834
3835
* Add a relpath parameter to get_transport methods in test framework to
3836
avoid useless cloning.

3855
NOTES WHEN UPGRADING:
3856
3857
* The kind() and is_executable() APIs on the WorkingTree interface no
3858
longer implicitly (read) locks and unlocks the tree. This *might*
3859
impact some plug-ins and tools using this part of the API. If you find
3860
an issue that may be caused by this change, please let us know,
3861
particularly the plug-in/tool maintainer. If encountered, the API
3862
fix is to surround kind() and is_executable() calls with lock_read()
3863
and unlock() like so::
3864
3865
work_tree.lock_read()
3866
try:
3867
kind = work_tree.kind(...)
3868
finally:
3869
work_tree.unlock()
3870
3871
INTERNALS:
3872
* Rework of LogFormatter API to provide beginning/end of log hooks and to
3873
encapsulate the details of the revision to be logged in a LogRevision
3874
object.
3875
In long log formats, merge revision ids are only shown when --show-ids
3876
is specified, and are labelled "revision-id:", as per mainline
3877
revisions, instead of "merged:". (Kent Gibson)
3878
3879
* New ``BranchBuilder`` API which allows the construction of particular
3880
histories quickly. Useful for testing and potentially other applications
3881
too. (Robert Collins)
3882
3883
IMPROVEMENTS:
3884
3885
* There are two new help topics, working-trees and repositories that
3886
attempt to explain these concepts. (James Westby, John Arbash Meinel,
3887
Aaron Bentley)
3888
3889
* Added ``bzr log --limit`` to report a limited number of revisions.
3890
(Kent Gibson, #3659)
3891
3892
* Revert does not try to preserve file contents that were originally
3893
produced by reverting to a historical revision. (Aaron Bentley)
3894
3895
* ``bzr log --short`` now includes ``[merge]`` for revisions which
3896
have more than one parent. This is a small improvement to help
3897
understanding what changes have occurred
3898
(John Arbash Meinel, #83887)
3899
3900
* TreeTransform avoids many renames when contructing large trees,
3901
improving speed. 3.25x speedups have been observed for construction of
3902
kernel-sized-trees, and checkouts are 1.28x faster. (Aaron Bentley)
3903
3904
* Commit on large trees is now faster. In my environment, a commit of
3905
a small change to the Mozilla tree (55k files) has dropped from
3906
66 seconds to 32 seconds. For a small tree of 600 files, commit of a
3907
small change is 33% faster. (Ian Clatworthy)
3908
3909
* New --create-prefix option to bzr init, like for push. (Daniel Watkins,
3910
#56322)
3911
3912
BUGFIXES:
3913
3914
* ``bzr push`` should only connect to the remote location one time.
3915
We have been connecting 3 times because we forget to pass around
3916
the Transport object. This adds ``BzrDir.clone_on_transport()``, so
3917
that we can pass in the Transport that we already have.
3918
(John Arbash Meinel, #75721)
3919
3920
* ``DirState.set_state_from_inventory()`` needs to properly order
3921
based on split paths, not just string paths.
3922
(John Arbash Meinel, #115947)
3923
3924
* Let TestUIFactoy encode the password prompt with its own stdout.
3925
(Vincent Ladeuil, #110204)
3926
3927
* pycurl should take use the range header that takes the range hint
3928
into account.
3929
(Vincent Ladeuil, #112719)
3930
3931
* WorkingTree4.get_file_sha1 no longer raises an exception when invoked
3932
on a missing file. (Aaron Bentley, #118186)
3933
3934
* WorkingTree.remove works correctly with tree references, and when pwd is
3935
not the tree root. (Aaron Bentley)
3936
3937
* Merge no longer fails when a file is renamed in one tree and deleted
3938
in the other. (Aaron Bentley, #110279)
3939
3940
* ``revision-info`` now accepts dotted revnos, doesn't require a tree,
3941
and defaults to the last revision (Matthew Fuller, #90048)
3942
3943
* Tests no longer fail when BZR_REMOTE_PATH is set in the environment.
3944
(Daniel Watkins, #111958)
3945
3946
* ``bzr branch -r revid:foo`` can be used to branch any revision in
3947
your repository. (Previously Branch6 only supported revisions in your
3948
mainline). (John Arbash Meinel, #115343)

3950
bzr 0.16 2007-05-07
3951
--------------------
3952
3953
BUGFIXES:
3954
3955
* Handle when you have 2 directories with similar names, but one has a
3956
hyphen. (``'abc'`` versus ``'abc-2'``). The WT4._iter_changes
3957
iterator was using direct comparison and ``'abc/a'`` sorts after
3958
``'abc-2'``, but ``('abc', 'a')`` sorts before ``('abc-2',)``.
3959
(John Arbash Meinel, #111227)
3960
3961
* Handle when someone renames a file on disk without telling bzr.
3962
Previously we would report the first file as missing, but not show
3963
the new unknown file. (John Arbash Meinel, #111288)
3964
3965
* Avoid error when running hooks after pulling into or pushing from
3966
a branch bound to a smartserver branch. (Martin Pool, #111968)
3967
3968
IMPROVEMENTS:
3969
3970
* Move developer documentation to doc/developers/. This reduces clutter in
3971
the root of the source tree and allows HACKING to be split into multiple
3972
files. (Robert Collins, Alexander Belchenko)
3973
3974
* Clean up the ``WorkingTree4._iter_changes()`` internal loops as well as
3975
``DirState.update_entry()``. This optimizes the core logic for ``bzr
3976
diff`` and ``bzr status`` significantly improving the speed of
3977
both. (John Arbash Meinel)

3979
bzr 0.16rc2 2007-04-30
3980
-----------------------
3981
3982
BUGFIXES:
3983
3984
* Handle the case when you delete a file, and then rename another file
3985
on top of it. Also handle the case of ``bzr rm --keep foo``. ``bzr
3986
status`` should show the removed file and an unknown file in its
3987
place. (John Arbash Meinel, #109993)
3988
3989
* Bundles properly read and write revision properties that have an
3990
empty value. And when the value is not ASCII.
3991
(John Arbash Meinel, #109613)
3992
3993
* Fix the bzr commit message to be in text mode.
3994
(Alexander Belchenko, #110901)
3995
3996
* Also handle when you rename a file and create a file where it used
3997
to be. (John Arbash Meinel, #110256)
3998
3999
* ``WorkingTree4._iter_changes`` should not descend into unversioned
4000
directories. (John Arbash Meinel, #110399)
4001
4002
bzr 0.16rc1 2007-04-26
4003
-----------------------
4004
4005
NOTES WHEN UPGRADING:
4006
4007
* ``bzr remove`` and ``bzr rm`` will now remove the working file, if
4008
it could be recovered again.
4009
This has been done for consistency with svn and the unix rm command.
4010
The old ``remove`` behaviour has been retained in the new option
4011
``bzr remove --keep``, which will just stop versioning the file,
4012
but not delete it.
4013
``bzr remove --force`` have been added which will always delete the
4014
files.
4015
``bzr remove`` is also more verbose.
4016
(Marius Kruger, #82602)
4017
4018
IMPROVEMENTS:
4019
4020
* Merge directives can now be supplied as input to `merge` and `pull`,
4021
like bundles can. (Aaron Bentley)
4022
4023
* Sending the SIGQUIT signal to bzr, which can be done on Unix by
4024
pressing Control-Backslash, drops bzr into a debugger. Type ``'c'``
4025
to continue. This can be disabled by setting the environment variable
4026
``BZR_SIGQUIT_PDB=0``. (Martin Pool)
4027
4028
* selftest now supports --list-only to list tests instead of running
4029
them. (Ian Clatworthy)
4030
4031
* selftest now supports --exclude PATTERN (or -x PATTERN) to exclude
4032
tests with names that match that regular expression.
4033
(Ian Clatworthy, #102679)
4034
4035
* selftest now supports --randomize SEED to run tests in a random order.
4036
SEED is typically the value 'now' meaning 'use the current time'.
4037
(Ian Clatworthy, #102686)
4038
4039
* New option ``--fixes`` to commit, which stores bug fixing annotations as
4040
revision properties. Built-in support for Launchpad, Debian, Trac and
4041
Bugzilla bug trackers. (Jonathan Lange, James Henstridge, Robert Collins)
4042
4043
* New API, ``bzrlib.bugtracker.tracker_registry``, for adding support for
4044
other bug trackers to ``fixes``. (Jonathan Lange, James Henstridge,
4045
Robert Collins)
4046
4047
* ``selftest`` has new short options ``-f`` and ``-1``. (Martin
4048
Pool)
4049
4050
* ``bzrlib.tsort.MergeSorter`` optimizations. Change the inner loop
4051
into using local variables instead of going through ``self._var``.
4052
Improves the time to ``merge_sort`` a 10k revision graph by
4053
approximately 40% (~700->400ms). (John Arbash Meinel)
4054
4055
* ``make docs`` now creates a man page at ``man1/bzr.1`` fixing bug 107388.
4056
(Robert Collins)
4057
4058
* ``bzr help`` now provides cross references to other help topics using
4059
the _see_also facility on command classes. Likewise the bzr_man
4060
documentation, and the bzr.1 man page also include this information.
4061
(Robert Collins)
4062
4063
* Tags are now included in logs, that use the long log formatter.
4064
(Erik Bågfors, Alexander Belchenko)
4065
4066
* ``bzr help`` provides a clearer message when a help topic cannot be
4067
found. (Robert Collins, #107656)
4068
4069
* ``bzr help`` now accepts optional prefixes for command help. The help
4070
for all commands can now be found at ``bzr help commands/COMMANDNAME``
4071
as well as ``bzr help COMMANDNAME`` (which only works for commands
4072
where the name is not the same as a more general help topic).
4073
(Robert Collins)
4074
4075
* ``bzr help PLUGINNAME`` will now return the module docstring from the
4076
plugin PLUGINNAME. (Robert Collins, #50408)
4077
4078
* New help topic ``urlspec`` which lists the availables transports.
4079
(Goffredo Baroncelli)
4080
4081
* doc/server.txt updated to document the default bzr:// port
4082
and also update the blurb about the hpss' current status.
4083
(Robert Collins, #107125).
4084
4085
* ``bzr serve`` now listens on interface 0.0.0.0 by default, making it
4086
serve out to the local LAN (and anyone in the world that can reach the
4087
machine running ``bzr serve``. (Robert Collins, #98918)
4088
4089
* A new smart server protocol version has been added. It prefixes requests
4090
and responses with an explicit version identifier so that future protocol
4091
revisions can be dealt with gracefully. (Andrew Bennetts, Robert Collins)
4092
4093
* The bzr protocol version 2 indicates success or failure in every response
4094
without depending on particular commands encoding that consistently,
4095
allowing future client refactorings to be much more robust about error
4096
handling. (Robert Collins, Martin Pool, Andrew Bennetts)
4097
4098
* The smart protocol over HTTP client has been changed to always post to the
4099
same ``.bzr/smart`` URL under the original location when it can. This allows
4100
HTTP servers to only have to pass URLs ending in .bzr/smart to the smart
4101
server handler, and not arbitrary ``.bzr/*/smart`` URLs. (Andrew Bennetts)
4102
4103
* digest authentication is now supported for proxies and HTTP by the urllib
4104
based http implementation. Tested against Apache 2.0.55 and Squid
4105
2.6.5. Basic and digest authentication are handled coherently for HTTP
4106
and proxy: if the user is provided in the url (bzr command line for HTTP,
4107
proxy environment variables for proxies), the password is prompted for
4108
(only once). If the password is provided, it is taken into account. Once
4109
the first authentication is successful, all further authentication
4110
roundtrips are avoided by preventively setting the right authentication
4111
header(s).
4112
(Vincent Ladeuil).
4113
4114
INTERNALS:
4115
4116
* bzrlib API compatability with 0.8 has been dropped, cleaning up some
4117
code paths. (Robert Collins)
4118
4119
* Change the format of chroot urls so that they can be safely manipulated
4120
by generic url utilities without causing the resulting urls to have
4121
escaped the chroot. A side effect of this is that creating a chroot
4122
requires an explicit action using a ChrootServer.
4123
(Robert Collins, Andrew Bennetts)
4124
4125
* Deprecate ``Branch.get_root_id()`` because branches don't have root ids,
4126
rather than fixing bug #96847. (Aaron Bentley)
4127
4128
* ``WorkingTree.apply_inventory_delta`` provides a better alternative to
4129
``WorkingTree._write_inventory``. (Aaron Bentley)
4130
4131
* Convenience method ``TestCase.expectFailure`` ensures that known failures
4132
do not silently pass. (Aaron Bentley)
4133
4134
* ``Transport.local_abspath`` now raises ``NotLocalUrl`` rather than
4135
``TransportNotPossible``. (Martin Pool, Ian Clatworthy)
4136
4137
* New SmartServer hooks facility. There are two initial hooks documented
4138
in ``bzrlib.transport.smart.SmartServerHooks``. The two initial hooks allow
4139
plugins to execute code upon server startup and shutdown.
4140
(Robert Collins).
4141
4142
* SmartServer in standalone mode will now close its listening socket
4143
when it stops, rather than waiting for garbage collection. This primarily
4144
fixes test suite hangs when a test tries to connect to a shutdown server.
4145
It may also help improve behaviour when dealing with a server running
4146
on a specific port (rather than dynamically assigned ports).
4147
(Robert Collins)
4148
4149
* Move most SmartServer code into a new package, bzrlib/smart.
4150
bzrlib/transport/remote.py contains just the Transport classes that used
4151
to be in bzrlib/transport/smart.py. (Andrew Bennetts)
4152
4153
* urllib http implementation avoid roundtrips associated with
4154
401 (and 407) errors once the authentication succeeds.
4155
(Vincent Ladeuil).
4156
4157
* urlib http now supports querying the user for a proxy password if
4158
needed. Realm is shown in the prompt for both HTTP and proxy
4159
authentication when the user is required to type a password.
4160
(Vincent Ladeuil).
4161
4162
* Renamed SmartTransport (and subclasses like SmartTCPTransport) to
4163
RemoteTransport (and subclasses to RemoteTCPTransport, etc). This is more
4164
consistent with its new home in ``bzrlib/transport/remote.py``, and because
4165
it's not really a "smart" transport, just one that does file operations
4166
via remote procedure calls. (Andrew Bennetts)
4167
4168
* The ``lock_write`` method of ``LockableFiles``, ``Repository`` and
4169
``Branch`` now accept a ``token`` keyword argument, so that separate
4170
instances of those objects can share a lock if it has the right token.
4171
(Andrew Bennetts, Robert Collins)
4172
4173
* New method ``get_branch_reference`` on ``BzrDir`` allows the detection of
4174
branch references - which the smart server component needs.
4175
4176
* The Repository API ``make_working_trees`` is now permitted to return
4177
False when ``set_make_working_trees`` is not implemented - previously
4178
an unimplemented ``set_make_working_trees`` implied the result True
4179
from ``make_working_trees``. This has been changed to accomodate the
4180
smart server, where it does not make sense (at this point) to ever
4181
make working trees by default. (Robert Collins)
4182
4183
* Command objects can now declare related help topics by having _see_also
4184
set to a list of related topic. (Robert Collins)
4185
4186
* ``bzrlib.help`` now delegates to the Command class for Command specific
4187
help. (Robert Collins)
4188
4189
* New class ``TransportListRegistry``, derived from the Registry class, which
4190
simplifies tracking the available Transports. (Goffredo Baroncelli)
4191
4192
* New function ``Branch.get_revision_id_to_revno_map`` which will
4193
return a dictionary mapping revision ids to dotted revnos. Since
4194
dotted revnos are defined in the context of the branch tip, it makes
4195
sense to generate them from a ``Branch`` object.
4196
(John Arbash Meinel)
4197
4198
* Fix the 'Unprintable error' message display to use the repr of the
4199
exception that prevented printing the error because the str value
4200
for it is often not useful in debugging (e.g. KeyError('foo') has a
4201
str() of 'foo' but a repr of 'KeyError('foo')' which is much more
4202
useful. (Robert Collins)
4203
4204
* ``urlutils.normalize_url`` now unescapes unreserved characters, such as "~".
4205
(Andrew Bennetts)
4206
4207
BUGFIXES:
4208
4209
* Don't fail bundle selftest if email has 'two' embedded.
4210
(Ian Clatworthy, #98510)
4211
4212
* Remove ``--verbose`` from ``bzr bundle``. It didn't work anyway.
4213
(Robert Widhopf-Fenk, #98591)
4214
4215
* Remove ``--basis`` from the checkout/branch commands - it didn't work
4216
properly and is no longer beneficial.
4217
(Robert Collins, #53675, #43486)
4218
4219
* Don't produce encoding error when adding duplicate files.
4220
(Aaron Bentley)
4221
4222
* Fix ``bzr log <file>`` so it only logs the revisions that changed
4223
the file, and does it faster.
4224
(Kent Gibson, John Arbash Meinel, #51980, #69477)
4225
4226
* Fix ``InterDirstateTre._iter_changes`` to handle when we come across
4227
an empty versioned directory, which now has files in it.
4228
(John Arbash Meinel, #104257)
4229
4230
* Teach ``common_ancestor`` to shortcut when the tip of one branch is
4231
inside the ancestry of the other. Saves a lot of graph processing
4232
(with an ancestry of 16k revisions, ``bzr merge ../already-merged``
4233
changes from 2m10s to 13s). (John Arbash Meinel, #103757)
4234
4235
* Fix ``show_diff_trees`` to handle the case when a file is modified,
4236
and the containing directory is renamed. (The file path is different
4237
in this versus base, but it isn't marked as a rename).
4238
(John Arbash Meinel, #103870)
4239
4240
* FTP now works even when the FTP server does not support atomic rename.
4241
(Aaron Bentley, #89436)
4242
4243
* Correct handling in bundles and merge directives of timezones with
4244
that are not an integer number of hours offset from UTC. Always
4245
represent the epoch time in UTC to avoid problems with formatting
4246
earlier times on win32. (Martin Pool, Alexander Belchenko, John
4247
Arbash Meinel)
4248
4249
* Typo in the help for ``register-branch`` fixed. (Robert Collins, #96770)
4250
4251
* "dirstate" and "dirstate-tags" formats now produce branches compatible
4252
with old versions of bzr. (Aaron Bentley, #107168))
4253
4254
* Handle moving a directory when children have been added, removed,
4255
and renamed. (John Arbash Meinel, #105479)
4256
4257
* Don't preventively use basic authentication for proxy before receiving a
4258
407 error. Otherwise people willing to use other authentication schemes
4259
may expose their password in the clear (or nearly). This add one
4260
roundtrip in case basic authentication should be used, but plug the
4261
security hole.
4262
(Vincent Ladeuil)
4263
4264
* Handle http and proxy digest authentication.
4265
(Vincent Ladeuil, #94034).
4266
4267
TESTING:
4268
4269
* Added ``bzrlib.strace.strace`` which will strace a single callable and
4270
return a StraceResult object which contains just the syscalls involved
4271
in running it. (Robert Collins)
4272
4273
* New test method ``reduceLockdirTimeout`` to drop the default (ui-centric)
4274
default time down to one suitable for tests. (Andrew Bennetts)
4275
4276
* Add new ``vfs_transport_factory`` attribute on tests which provides the
4277
common vfs backing for both the readonly and readwrite transports.
4278
This allows the RemoteObject tests to back onto local disk or memory,
4279
and use the existing ``transport_server`` attribute all tests know about
4280
to be the smart server transport. This in turn allows tests to
4281
differentiate between 'transport to access the branch', and
4282
'transport which is a VFS' - which matters in Remote* tests.
4283
(Robert Collins, Andrew Bennetts)
4284
4285
* The ``make_branch_and_tree`` method for tests will now create a
4286
lightweight checkout for the tree if the ``vfs_transport_factory`` is not
4287
a LocalURLServer. (Robert Collins, Andrew Bennetts)
4288
4289
* Branch implementation tests have been audited to ensure that all urls
4290
passed to Branch APIs use proper urls, except when local-disk paths
4291
are intended. This is so that tests correctly access the test transport
4292
which is often not equivalent to local disk in Remote* tests. As part
4293
of this many tests were adjusted to remove dependencies on local disk
4294
access.
4295
(Robert Collins, Andrew Bennetts)
4296
4297
* Mark bzrlib.tests and bzrlib.tests.TestUtil as providing assertFOO helper
4298
functions by adding a ``__unittest`` global attribute. (Robert Collins,
4299
Andrew Bennetts, Martin Pool, Jonathan Lange)
4300
4301
* Refactored proxy and authentication handling to simplify the
4302
implementation of new auth schemes for both http and proxy.

4320
CHANGES:
4321
4322
* A warning is now displayed when opening working trees in older
4323
formats, to encourage people to upgrade to WorkingTreeFormat4.
4324
(Martin Pool)
4325
4326
IMPROVEMENTS:
4327
4328
* HTTP redirections are now taken into account when a branch (or a
4329
bundle) is accessed for the first time. A message is issued at each
4330
redirection to inform the user. In the past, http redirections were
4331
silently followed for each request which significantly degraded the
4332
performances. The http redirections are not followed anymore by
4333
default, instead a RedirectRequested exception is raised. For bzrlib
4334
users needing to follow http redirections anyway,
4335
``bzrlib.transport.do_catching_redirections`` provide an easy transition
4336
path. (vila)
4337
4338
INTERNALS:
4339
4340
* Added ``ReadLock.temporary_write_lock()`` to allow upgrading an OS read
4341
lock to an OS write lock. Linux can do this without unlocking, Win32
4342
needs to unlock in between. (John Arbash Meinel)
4343
4344
* New parameter ``recommend_upgrade`` to ``BzrDir.open_workingtree``
4345
to silence (when false) warnings about opening old formats.
4346
(Martin Pool)
4347
4348
* Fix minor performance regression with bzr-0.15 on pre-dirstate
4349
trees. (We were reading the working inventory too many times).
4350
(John Arbash Meinel)
4351
4352
* Remove ``Branch.get_transaction()`` in favour of a simple cache of
4353
``revision_history``. Branch subclasses should override
4354
``_gen_revision_history`` rather than ``revision_history`` to make use of
4355
this cache, and call ``_clear_revision_history_cache`` and
4356
``_cache_revision_history`` at appropriate times. (Andrew Bennetts)
4357
4358
BUGFIXES:
4359
4360
* Take ``smtp_server`` from user config into account.
4361
(vila, #92195)
4362
4363
* Restore Unicode filename handling for versioned and unversioned files.
4364
(John Arbash Meinel, #92608)
4365
4366
* Don't fail during ``bzr commit`` if a file is marked removed, and
4367
the containing directory is auto-removed. (John Arbash Meinel, #93681)
4368
4369
* ``bzr status FILENAME`` failed on Windows because of an uncommon
4370
errno. (``ERROR_DIRECTORY == 267 != ENOTDIR``).
4371
(Wouter van Heyst, John Arbash Meinel, #90819)
4372
4373
* ``bzr checkout source`` should create a local branch in the same
4374
format as source. (John Arbash Meinel, #93854)
4375
4376
* ``bzr commit`` with a kind change was failing to update the
4377
last-changed-revision for directories. The
4378
InventoryDirectory._unchanged only looked at the ``parent_id`` and name,
4379
ignoring the fact that the kind could have changed, too.
4380
(John Arbash Meinel, #90111)
4381
4382
* ``bzr mv dir/subdir other`` was incorrectly updating files inside
4383
the directory. So that there was a chance it would break commit,
4384
etc. (John Arbash Meinel, #94037)
4385
4386
* Correctly handles mutiple permanent http redirections.

4390
-----------------------
4391
4392
NOTES WHEN UPGRADING:
4393
4394
* Release 0.15rc2 of bzr changes the ``bzr init-repo`` command to
4395
default to ``--trees`` instead of ``--no-trees``.
4396
Existing shared repositories are not affected.
4397
4398
IMPROVEMENTS:
4399
4400
* New ``merge-directive`` command to generate machine- and human-readable
4401
merge requests. (Aaron Bentley)
4402
4403
* New ``submit:`` revision specifier makes it easy to diff against the
4404
common ancestor with the submit location (Aaron Bentley)
4405
4406
* Added support for Putty's SSH implementation. (Dmitry Vasiliev)
4407
4408
* Added ``bzr status --versioned`` to report only versioned files,
4409
not unknowns. (Kent Gibson)
4410
4411
* Merge now autodetects the correct line-ending style for its conflict
4412
markers. (Aaron Bentley)
4413
4414
INTERNALS:
4415
4416
* Refactored SSH vendor registration into SSHVendorManager class.
4417
(Dmitry Vasiliev)
4418
4419
BUGFIXES:
4420
4421
* New ``--numbered-dirs`` option to ``bzr selftest`` to use
4422
numbered dirs for TestCaseInTempDir. This is default behavior
4423
on Windows. Anyone can force named dirs on Windows
4424
with ``--no-numbered-dirs``. (Alexander Belchenko)
4425
4426
* Fix ``RevisionSpec_revid`` to handle the Unicode strings passed in
4427
from the command line. (Marien Zwart, #90501)
4428
4429
* Fix ``TreeTransform._iter_changes`` when both the source and
4430
destination are missing. (Aaron Bentley, #88842)
4431
4432
* Fix commit of merges with symlinks in dirstate trees.
4433
(Marien Zwart)
4434
4435
* Switch the ``bzr init-repo`` default from --no-trees to --trees.

bzr 0.15rc1 2007-03-07
4440
-----------------------
4441
4442
SURPRISES:
4443
4444
* The default disk format has changed. Please run 'bzr upgrade' in your
4445
working trees to upgrade. This new default is compatible for network
4446
operations, but not for local operations. That is, if you have two
4447
versions of bzr installed locally, after upgrading you can only use the
4448
bzr 0.15 version. This new default does not enable tags or nested-trees
4449
as they are incompatible with bzr versions before 0.15 over the network.
4450
4451
* For users of bzrlib: Two major changes have been made to the working tree
4452
api in bzrlib. The first is that many methods and attributes, including
4453
the inventory attribute, are no longer valid for use until one of
4454
``lock_read``/``lock_write``/``lock_tree_write`` has been called,
4455
and become invalid again after unlock is called. This has been done
4456
to improve performance and correctness as part of the dirstate
4457
development.
4458
(Robert Collins, John A Meinel, Martin Pool, and others).
4459
4460
* For users of bzrlib: The attribute 'tree.inventory' should be considered
4461
readonly. Previously it was possible to directly alter this attribute, or
4462
its contents, and have the tree notice this. This has been made
4463
unsupported - it may work in some tree formats, but in the newer dirstate
4464
format such actions will have no effect and will be ignored, or even
4465
cause assertions. All operations possible can still be carried out by a
4466
combination of the tree API, and the bzrlib.transform API. (Robert
4467
Collins, John A Meinel, Martin Pool, and others).
4468
4469
IMPROVEMENTS:
4470
4471
* Support for OS Windows 98. Also .bzr.log on any windows system
4472
saved in My Documents folder. (Alexander Belchenko)
4473
4474
* ``bzr mv`` enhanced to support already moved files.
4475
In the past the mv command would have failed if the source file doesn't
4476
exist. In this situation ``bzr mv`` would now detect that the file has
4477
already moved and update the repository accordingly, if the target file
4478
does exist.
4479
A new option ``--after`` has been added so that if two files already
4480
exist, you could notify Bazaar that you have moved a (versioned) file
4481
and replaced it with another. Thus in this case ``bzr move --after``
4482
will only update the Bazaar identifier.
4483
(Steffen Eichenberg, Marius Kruger)
4484
4485
* ``ls`` now works on treeless branches and remote branches.
4486
(Aaron Bentley)
4487
4488
* ``bzr help global-options`` describes the global options.
4489
(Aaron Bentley)
4490
4491
* ``bzr pull --overwrite`` will now correctly overwrite checkouts.
4492
(Robert Collins)
4493
4494
* Files are now allowed to change kind (e.g. from file to symlink).
4495
Supported by ``commit``, ``revert`` and ``status``
4496
(Aaron Bentley)
4497
4498
* ``inventory`` and ``unknowns`` hidden in favour of ``ls``
4499
(Aaron Bentley)
4500
4501
* ``bzr help checkouts`` descibes what checkouts are and some possible
4502
uses of them. (James Westby, Aaron Bentley)
4503
4504
* A new ``-d`` option to push, pull and merge overrides the default
4505
directory. (Martin Pool)
4506
4507
* Branch format 6: smaller, and potentially faster than format 5. Supports
4508
``append_history_only`` mode, where the log view and revnos do not change,
4509
except by being added to. Stores policy settings in
4510
".bzr/branch/branch.conf".
4511
4512
* ``append_only`` branches: Format 6 branches may be configured so that log
4513
view and revnos are always consistent. Either create the branch using
4514
"bzr init --append-revisions-only" or edit the config file as descriped
4515
in docs/configuration.txt.
4516
4517
* rebind: Format 6 branches retain the last-used bind location, so if you
4518
"bzr unbind", you can "bzr bind" to bind to the previously-selected
4519
bind location.
4520
4521
* Builtin tags support, created and deleted by the ``tag`` command and
4522
stored in the branch. Tags can be accessed with the revisionspec
4523
``-rtag:``, and listed with ``bzr tags``. Tags are not versioned
4524
at present. Tags require a network incompatible upgrade. To perform this
4525
upgrade, run ``bzr upgrade --dirstate-tags`` in your branch and
4526
repositories. (Martin Pool)
4527
4528
* The ``bzr://`` transport now has a well-known port number, 4155,
4529
which it will use by default. (Andrew Bennetts, Martin Pool)
4530
4531
* Bazaar now looks for user-installed plugins before looking for site-wide
4532
plugins. (Jonathan Lange)
4533
4534
* ``bzr resolve`` now detects and marks resolved text conflicts.
4535
(Aaron Bentley)
4536
4537
INTERNALS:
4538
4539
* Internally revision ids and file ids are now passed around as utf-8
4540
bytestrings, rather than treating them as Unicode strings. This has
4541
performance benefits for Knits, since we no longer need to decode the
4542
revision id for each line of content, nor for each entry in the index.
4543
This will also help with the future dirstate format.
4544
(John Arbash Meinel)
4545
4546
* Reserved ids (any revision-id ending in a colon) are rejected by
4547
versionedfiles, repositories, branches, and working trees
4548
(Aaron Bentley)
4549
4550
* Minor performance improvement by not creating a ProgressBar for
4551
every KnitIndex we create. (about 90ms for a bzr.dev tree)
4552
(John Arbash Meinel)
4553
4554
* New easier to use Branch hooks facility. There are five initial hooks,
4555
all documented in bzrlib.branch.BranchHooks.__init__ - ``'set_rh'``,
4556
``'post_push'``, ``'post_pull'``, ``'post_commit'``,
4557
``'post_uncommit'``. These hooks fire after the matching operation
4558
on a branch has taken place, and were originally added for the
4559
branchrss plugin. (Robert Collins)
4560
4561
* New method ``Branch.push()`` which should be used when pushing from a
4562
branch as it makes performance and policy decisions to match the UI
4563
level command ``push``. (Robert Collins).
4564
4565
* Add a new method ``Tree.revision_tree`` which allows access to cached
4566
trees for arbitrary revisions. This allows the in development dirstate
4567
tree format to provide access to the callers to cached copies of
4568
inventory data which are cheaper to access than inventories from the
4569
repository.
4570
(Robert Collins, Martin Pool)
4571
4572
* New ``Branch.last_revision_info`` method, this is being done to allow
4573
optimization of requests for both the number of revisions and the last
4574
revision of a branch with smartservers and potentially future branch
4575
formats. (Wouter van Heyst, Robert Collins)
4576
4577
* Allow ``'import bzrlib.plugins.NAME'`` to work when the plugin NAME has not
4578
yet been loaded by ``load_plugins()``. This allows plugins to depend on each
4579
other for code reuse without requiring users to perform file-renaming
4580
gymnastics. (Robert Collins)
4581
4582
* New Repository method ``'gather_stats'`` for statistic data collection.
4583
This is expected to grow to cover a number of related uses mainly
4584
related to bzr info. (Robert Collins)
4585
4586
* Log formatters are now managed with a registry.
4587
``log.register_formatter`` continues to work, but callers accessing
4588
the FORMATTERS dictionary directly will not.
4589
4590
* Allow a start message to be passed to the ``edit_commit_message``
4591
function. This will be placed in the message offered to the user
4592
for editing above the separator. It allows a template commit message
4593
to be used more easily. (James Westby)
4594
4595
* ``GPGStrategy.sign()`` will now raise ``BzrBadParameterUnicode`` if
4596
you pass a Unicode string rather than an 8-bit string. Callers need
4597
to be updated to encode first. (John Arbash Meinel)
4598
4599
* Branch.push, pull, merge now return Result objects with information
4600
about what happened, rather than a scattering of various methods. These
4601
are also passed to the post hooks. (Martin Pool)
4602
4603
* File formats and architecture is in place for managing a forest of trees
4604
in bzr, and splitting up existing trees into smaller subtrees, and
4605
finally joining trees to make a larger tree. This is the first iteration
4606
of this support, and the user-facing aspects still require substantial
4607
work. If you wish to experiment with it, use ``bzr upgrade
4608
--dirstate-with-subtree`` in your working trees and repositories.
4609
You can use the hidden commands ``split`` and ``join`` and to create
4610
and manipulate nested trees, but please consider using the nested-trees
4611
branch, which contains substantial UI improvements, instead.

(Aaron Bentley, Martin Pool, Robert Collins).
4614
4615
BUGFIXES:
4616
4617
* ``bzr annotate`` now uses dotted revnos from the viewpoint of the
4618
branch, rather than the last changed revision of the file.
4619
(John Arbash Meinel, #82158)
4620
4621
* Lock operations no longer hang if they encounter a permission problem.
4622
(Aaron Bentley)
4623
4624
* ``bzr push`` can resume a push that was canceled before it finished.
4625
Also, it can push even if the target directory exists if you supply
4626
the ``--use-existing-dir`` flag.
4627
(John Arbash Meinel, #30576, #45504)
4628
4629
* Fix http proxy authentication when user and an optional
4630
password appears in the ``*_proxy`` vars. (Vincent Ladeuil,
4631
#83954).
4632
4633
* ``bzr log branch/file`` works for local treeless branches
4634
(Aaron Bentley, #84247)
4635
4636
* Fix problem with UNC paths on Windows 98. (Alexander Belchenko, #84728)
4637
4638
* Searching location of CA bundle for PyCurl in env variable
4639
(``CURL_CA_BUNDLE``), and on win32 along the PATH.
4640
(Alexander Belchenko, #82086)
4641
4642
* ``bzr init`` works with unicode argument LOCATION.
4643
(Alexander Belchenko, #85599)
4644
4645
* Raise ``DependencyNotPresent`` if pycurl do not support https.
4646
(Vincent Ladeuil, #85305)
4647
4648
* Invalid proxy env variables should not cause a traceback.
4649
(Vincent Ladeuil, #87765)
4650
4651
* Ignore patterns normalised to use '/' path separator.
4652
(Kent Gibson, #86451)
4653
4654
* bzr rocks. It sure does! Fix case. (Vincent Ladeuil, #78026)
4655
4656
* Fix bzrtools shelve command for removed lines beginning with "--"
4657
(Johan Dahlberg, #75577)
4658
4659
TESTING:
4660
4661
* New ``--first`` option to ``bzr selftest`` to run specified tests
4662
before the rest of the suite. (Martin Pool)

4665
bzr 0.14 2007-01-23
4666
--------------------
4667
4668
IMPROVEMENTS:
4669
4670
* ``bzr help global-options`` describes the global options. (Aaron Bentley)
4671
4672
BUG FIXES:
4673
4674
* Skip documentation generation tests if the tools to do so are not
4675
available. Fixes running selftest for installled copies of bzr.
4676
(John Arbash Meinel, #80330)
4677
4678
* Fix the code that discovers whether bzr is being run from it's
4679
working tree to handle the case when it isn't but the directory
4680
it is in is below a repository. (James Westby, #77306)
4681
4682
4683
bzr 0.14rc1 2007-01-16
4684
-----------------------
4685
4686
IMPROVEMENTS:
4687
4688
* New connection: ``bzr+http://`` which supports tunnelling the smart
4689
protocol over an HTTP connection. If writing is enabled on the bzr
4690
server, then you can write over the http connection.
4691
(Andrew Bennetts, John Arbash Meinel)
4692
4693
* Aliases now support quotation marks, so they can contain whitespace
4694
(Marius Kruger)
4695
4696
* PyCurlTransport now use a single curl object. By specifying explicitly
4697
the 'Range' header, we avoid the need to use two different curl objects
4698
(and two connections to the same server). (Vincent Ladeuil)
4699
4700
* ``bzr commit`` does not prompt for a message until it is very likely to
4701
succeed. (Aaron Bentley)
4702
4703
* ``bzr conflicts`` now takes --text to list pathnames of text conflicts
4704
(Aaron Bentley)
4705
4706
* Fix ``iter_lines_added_or_present_in_versions`` to use a set instead
4707
of a list while checking if a revision id was requested. Takes 10s
4708
off of the ``fileids_affected_by_revision_ids`` time, which is 10s
4709
of the ``bzr branch`` time. Also improve ``fileids_...`` time by
4710
filtering lines with a regex rather than multiple ``str.find()``
4711
calls. (saves another 300ms) (John Arbash Meinel)
4712
4713
* Policy can be set for each configuration key. This allows keys to be
4714
inherited properly across configuration entries. For example, this
4715
should enable you to do::
4716
4717
[/home/user/project]
4718
push_location = sftp://host/srv/project/
4719
push_location:policy = appendpath
4720
4721
And then a branch like ``/home/user/project/mybranch`` should get an
4722
automatic push location of ``sftp://host/srv/project/mybranch``.
4723
(James Henstridge)
4724
4725
* Added ``bzr status --short`` to make status report svn style flags
4726
for each file. For example::
4727
4728
$ bzr status --short
4729
A foo
4730
A bar
4731
D baz
4732
? wooley
4733
4734
* 'bzr selftest --clean-output' allows easily clean temporary tests
4735
directories without running tests. (Alexander Belchenko)
4736
4737
* ``bzr help hidden-commands`` lists all hidden commands. (Aaron Bentley)
4738
4739
* ``bzr merge`` now has an option ``--pull`` to fall back to pull if
4740
local is fully merged into remote. (Jan Hudec)
4741
4742
* ``bzr help formats`` describes available directory formats. (Aaron Bentley)
4743
4744
INTERNALS:
4745
4746
* A few tweaks directly to ``fileids_affected_by_revision_ids`` to
4747
help speed up processing, as well allowing to extract unannotated
4748
lines. Between the two ``fileids_affected_by_revision_ids`` is
4749
improved by approx 10%. (John Arbash Meinel)
4750
4751
* Change Revision serialization to only write out millisecond
4752
resolution. Rather than expecting floating point serialization to
4753
preserve more resolution than we need. (Henri Weichers, Martin Pool)
4754
4755
* Test suite ends cleanly on Windows. (Vincent Ladeuil)
4756
4757
* When ``encoding_type`` attribute of class Command is equal to 'exact',
4758
force sys.stdout to be a binary stream on Windows, and therefore
4759
keep exact line-endings (without LF -> CRLF conversion).
4760
(Alexander Belchenko)
4761
4762
* Single-letter short options are no longer globally declared. (Martin
4763
Pool)
4764
4765
* Before using detected user/terminal encoding bzr should check
4766
that Python has corresponding codec. (Alexander Belchenko)
4767
4768
* Formats for end-user selection are provided via a FormatRegistry (Aaron Bentley)
4769
4770
BUG FIXES:
4771
4772
* ``bzr missing --verbose`` was showing adds/removals in the wrong
4773
direction. (John Arbash Meinel)
4774
4775
* ``bzr annotate`` now defaults to showing dotted revnos for merged
4776
revisions. It cuts them off at a depth of 12 characters, but you can
4777
supply ``--long`` to see the full number. You can also use
4778
``--show-ids`` to display the original revision ids, rather than
4779
revision numbers and committer names. (John Arbash Meinel, #75637)
4780
4781
* bzr now supports Win32 UNC path (e.g. ``\HOST\path``.
4782
(Alexander Belchenko, #57869)
4783
4784
* Win32-specific: output of cat, bundle and diff commands don't mangle
4785
line-endings (Alexander Belchenko, #55276)
4786
4787
* Replace broken fnmatch based ignore pattern matching with custom pattern
4788
matcher.
4789
(Kent Gibson, Jan Hudec #57637)
4790
4791
* pycurl and urllib can detect short reads at different places. Update
4792
the test suite to test more cases. Also detect http error code 416
4793
which was raised for that specific bug. Also enhance the urllib
4794
robustness by detecting invalid ranges (and pycurl's one by detecting
4795
short reads during the initial GET). (Vincent Ladeuil, #73948)
4796
4797
* The urllib connection sharing interacts badly with urllib2
4798
proxy setting (the connections didn't go thru the proxy
4799
anymore). Defining a proper ProxyHandler solves the
4800
problem. (Vincent Ladeuil, #74759)
4801
4802
* Use urlutils to generate relative URLs, not osutils
4803
(Aaron Bentley, #76229)
4804
4805
* ``bzr status`` in a readonly directory should work without giving
4806
lots of errors. (John Arbash Meinel, #76299)
4807
4808
* Mention the revisionspec topic for the revision option help.
4809
(Wouter van Heyst, #31663)
4810
4811
* Allow plugins import from zip archives.

4823
IMPROVEMENTS:
4824
4825
* New command ``bzr remove-tree`` allows the removal of the working
4826
tree from a branch.
4827
(Daniel Silverstone)
4828
4829
* urllib uses shared keep-alive connections, so http
4830
operations are substantially faster.
4831
(Vincent Ladeuil, #53654)
4832
4833
* ``bzr export`` allows an optional branch parameter, to export a bzr
4834
tree from some other url. For example:
4835
``bzr export bzr.tar.gz http://bazaar-vcs.org/bzr/bzr.dev``
4836
(Daniel Silverstone)
4837
4838
* Added ``bzr help topics`` to the bzr help system. This gives a
4839
location for general information, outside of a specific command.
4840
This includes updates for ``bzr help revisionspec`` the first topic
4841
included. (Goffredo Baroncelli, John Arbash Meinel, #42714)
4842
4843
* WSGI-compatible HTTP smart server. See ``doc/http_smart_server.txt``.
4844
(Andrew Bennetts)
4845
4846
* Knit files will now cache full texts only when the size of the
4847
deltas is as large as the size of the fulltext. (Or after 200
4848
deltas, whichever comes first). This has the most benefit on large
4849
files with small changes, such as the inventory for a large project.
4850
(eg For a project with 2500 files, and 7500 revisions, it changes
4851
the size of inventory.knit from 11MB to 5.4MB) (John Arbash Meinel)
4852
4853
INTERNALS:
4854
4855
* New -D option given before the command line turns on debugging output
4856
for particular areas. -Derror shows tracebacks on all errors.
4857
(Martin Pool)
4858
4859
* Clean up ``bzr selftest --benchmark bundle`` to correct an import,
4860
and remove benchmarks that take longer than 10min to run.
4861
(John Arbash Meinel)
4862
4863
* Use ``time.time()`` instead of ``time.clock()`` to decide on
4864
progress throttling. Because ``time.clock()`` is actually CPU time,
4865
so over a high-latency connection, too many updates get throttled.
4866
(John Arbash Meinel)
4867
4868
* ``MemoryTransport.list_dir()`` would strip the first character for
4869
files or directories in root directory. (John Arbash Meinel)
4870
4871
* New method ``get_branch_reference`` on 'BzrDir' allows the detection of
4872
branch references - which the smart server component needs.
4873
4874
* New ``ChrootTransportDecorator``, accessible via the ``chroot+`` url
4875
prefix. It disallows any access to locations above a set URL. (Andrew
4876
Bennetts)
4877
4878
BUG FIXES:
4879
4880
* Now ``_KnitIndex`` properly decode revision ids when loading index data.
4881
And optimize the knit index parsing code.
4882
(Dmitry Vasiliev, John Arbash Meinel)
4883
4884
* ``bzrlib/bzrdir.py`` was directly referencing ``bzrlib.workingtree``,
4885
without importing it. This prevented ``bzr upgrade`` from working
4886
unless a plugin already imported ``bzrlib.workingtree``
4887
(John Arbash Meinel, #70716)
4888
4889
* Suppress the traceback on invalid URLs (Vincent Ladeuil, #70803).
4890
4891
* Give nicer error message when an http server returns a 403
4892
error code. (Vincent Ladeuil, #57644).
4893
4894
* When a multi-range http GET request fails, try a single
4895
range one. If it fails too, forget about ranges. Remember that until
4896
the death of the transport and propagates that to the clones.
4897
(Vincent Ladeuil, #62276, #62029).
4898
4899
* Handles user/passwords supplied in url from command
4900
line (for the urllib implementation). Don't request already
4901
known passwords (Vincent Ladeuil, #42383, #44647, #48527)
4902
4903
* ``_KnitIndex.add_versions()`` dictionary compresses revision ids as they
4904
are added. This fixes bug where fetching remote revisions records
4905
them as full references rather than integers.
4906
(John Arbash Meinel, #64789)
4907
4908
* ``bzr ignore`` strips trailing slashes in patterns.
4909
Also ``bzr ignore`` rejects absolute paths. (Kent Gibson, #4559)
4910
4911
* ``bzr ignore`` takes multiple arguments. (Cheuksan Edward Wang, #29488)
4912
4913
* mv correctly handles paths that traverse symlinks.
4914
(Aaron Bentley, #66964)
4915
4916
* Give nicer looking error messages when failing to connect over ssh.
4917
(John Arbash Meinel, #49172)
4918
4919
* Pushing to a remote branch does not currently update the remote working
4920
tree. After a remote push, ``bzr status`` and ``bzr diff`` on the remote
4921
machine now show that the working tree is out of date.
4922
(Cheuksan Edward Wang #48136)
4923
4924
* Use patiencediff instead of difflib for determining deltas to insert
4925
into knits. This avoids the O(N^3) behavior of difflib. Patience
4926
diff should be O(N^2). (Cheuksan Edward Wang, #65714)
4927
4928
* Running ``bzr log`` on nonexistent file gives an error instead of the
4929
entire log history. (Cheuksan Edward Wang #50793)
4930
4931
* ``bzr cat`` can look up contents of removed or renamed files. If the
4932
pathname is ambiguous, i.e. the files in the old and new trees have
4933
different id's, the default is the file in the new tree. The user can
4934
use "--name-from-revision" to select the file in the old tree.
4935
(Cheuksan Edward Wang, #30190)
4936
4937
TESTING:
4938
4939
* TestingHTTPRequestHandler really handles the Range header
4940
(previously it was ignoring it and returning the whole file,).

4943
--------------------
4944
4945
INTERNALS:
4946
4947
* Clean up ``bzr selftest --benchmark bundle`` to correct an import,

4951
bzr 0.12rc1 2006-10-23
4952
-----------------------
4953
4954
IMPROVEMENTS:
4955
4956
* ``bzr log`` now shows dotted-decimal revision numbers for all revisions,
4957
rather than just showing a decimal revision number for revisions on the
4958
mainline. These revision numbers are not yet accepted as input into bzr
4959
commands such as log, diff etc. (Robert Collins)
4960
4961
* revisions can now be specified using dotted-decimal revision numbers.
4962
For instance, ``bzr diff -r 1.2.1..1.2.3``. (Robert Collins)
4963
4964
* ``bzr help commands`` output is now shorter (Aaron Bentley)
4965
4966
* ``bzr`` now uses lazy importing to reduce the startup time. This has
4967
a moderate effect on lots of actions, especially ones that have
4968
little to do. For example ``bzr rocks`` time is down to 116ms from
4969
283ms. (John Arbash Meinel)
4970
4971
* New Registry class to provide name-to-object registry-like support,
4972
for example for schemes where plugins can register new classes to
4973
do certain tasks (e.g. log formatters). Also provides lazy registration
4974
to allow modules to be loaded on request.
4975
(John Arbash Meinel, Adeodato Simó)
4976
4977
API INCOMPATABILITY:
4978
4979
* LogFormatter subclasses show now expect the 'revno' parameter to
4980
show() to be a string rather than an int. (Robert Collins)
4981
4982
INTERNALS:
4983
4984
* ``TestCase.run_bzr``, ``run_bzr_captured``, and ``run_bzr_subprocess``
4985
can take a ``working_dir='foo'`` parameter, which will change directory
4986
for the command. (John Arbash Meinel)
4987
4988
* ``bzrlib.lazy_regex.lazy_compile`` can be used to create a proxy
4989
around a regex, which defers compilation until first use.
4990
(John Arbash Meinel)
4991
4992
* ``TestCase.run_bzr_subprocess`` defaults to supplying the
4993
``--no-plugins`` parameter to ensure test reproducability, and avoid
4994
problems with system-wide installed plugins. (John Arbash Meinel)
4995
4996
* Unique tree root ids are now supported. Newly created trees still
4997
use the common root id for compatibility with bzr versions before 0.12.
4998
(Aaron Bentley)
4999
5000
* ``WorkingTree.set_root_id(None)`` is now deprecated. Please
5001
pass in ``inventory.ROOT_ID`` if you want the default root id value.
5002
(Robert Collins, John Arbash Meinel)
5003
5004
* New method ``WorkingTree.flush()`` which will write the current memory
5005
inventory out to disk. At the same time, ``read_working_inventory`` will
5006
no longer trash the current tree inventory if it has been modified within
5007
the current lock, and the tree will now ``flush()`` automatically on
5008
``unlock()``. ``WorkingTree.set_root_id()`` has been updated to take
5009
advantage of this functionality. (Robert Collins, John Arbash Meinel)
5010
5011
* ``bzrlib.tsort.merge_sorted`` now accepts ``generate_revnos``. This
5012
parameter will cause it to add another column to its output, which
5013
contains the dotted-decimal revno for each revision, as a tuple.
5014
(Robert Collins)
5015
5016
* ``LogFormatter.show_merge`` is deprecated in favour of
5017
``LogFormatter.show_merge_revno``. (Robert Collins)
5018
5019
BUG FIXES:
5020
5021
* Avoid circular imports by creating a deprecated function for
5022
``bzrlib.tree.RevisionTree``. Callers should have been using
5023
``bzrlib.revisontree.RevisionTree`` anyway. (John Arbash Meinel,
5024
#63360, #66349)
5025
5026
* Don't use ``socket.MSG_WAITALL`` as it doesn't exist on all
5027
platforms. (Martin Pool, #66356)
5028
5029
* Don't require ``Content-Type`` in range responses. Assume they are a
5030
single range if ``Content-Type`` does not exist.
5031
(John Arbash Meinel, #62473)
5032
5033
* bzr branch/pull no longer complain about progress bar cleanup when
5034
interrupted during fetch. (Aaron Bentley, #54000)
5035
5036
* ``WorkingTree.set_parent_trees()`` uses the trees to directly write
5037
the basis inventory, rather than going through the repository. This
5038
allows us to have 1 inventory read, and 2 inventory writes when
5039
committing a new tree. (John Arbash Meinel)
5040
5041
* When reverting, files that are not locally modified that do not exist
5042
in the target are deleted, not just unversioned (Aaron Bentley)
5043
5044
* When trying to acquire a lock, don't fail immediately. Instead, try
5045
a few times (up to 1 hour) before timing out. Also, report why the
5046
lock is unavailable (John Arbash Meinel, #43521, #49556)
5047
5048
* Leave HttpTransportBase daughter classes decides how they
5049
implement cloning. (Vincent Ladeuil, #61606)
5050
5051
* diff3 does not indicate conflicts on clean merge. (Aaron Bentley)
5052
5053
* If a commit fails, the commit message is stored in a file at the root of
5054
the tree for later commit. (Cheuksan Edward Wang, Stefan Metzmacher,
5055
#32054)
5056
5057
TESTING:
5058
5059
* New test base class TestCaseWithMemoryTransport offers memory-only
5060
testing facilities: its not suitable for tests that need to mutate disk
5061
state, but most tests should not need that and should be converted to
5062
TestCaseWithMemoryTransport. (Robert Collins)
5063
5064
* ``TestCase.make_branch_and_memory_tree`` now takes a format
5065
option to set the BzrDir, Repository and Branch formats of the
5066
created objects. (Robert Collins, John Arbash Meinel)
5067
5068
bzr 0.11 2006-10-02

--------------------
5070
5071
* Smart server transport test failures on windows fixed. (Lukáš Lalinský).

bzr 0.11rc2 2006-09-27
5074
-----------------------
5075
5076
BUG FIXES:
5077
5078
* Test suite hangs on windows fixed. (Andrew Bennets, Alexander Belchenko).
5079
5080
* Commit performance regression fixed. (Aaron Bentley, Robert Collins, John
5081
Arbash Meinel).
5082
5083
bzr 0.11rc1 2006-09-25
5084
-----------------------
5085
5086
IMPROVEMENTS:
5087
5088
* Knit files now wait to create their contents until the first data is
5089
added. The old code used to create an empty .knit and a .kndx with just
5090
the header. However, this caused a lot of extra round trips over sftp.
5091
This can change the time for ``bzr push`` to create a new remote branch
5092
from 160s down to 100s. This also affects ``bzr commit`` performance when
5093
adding new files, ``bzr commit`` on a new kernel-like tree drops from 50s
5094
down to 40s (John Arbash Meinel, #44692)
5095
5096
* When an entire subtree has been deleted, commit will now report that
5097
just the top of the subtree has been deleted, rather than reporting
5098
all the individual items. (Robert Collins)
5099
5100
* Commit performs one less XML parse. (Robert Collins)
5101
5102
* ``bzr checkout`` now operates on readonly branches as well
5103
as readwrite branches. This fixes bug #39542. (Robert Collins)
5104
5105
* ``bzr bind`` no longer synchronises history with the master branch.
5106
Binding should be followed by an update or push to synchronise the
5107
two branches. This is closely related to the fix for bug #39542.
5108
(Robert Collins)
5109
5110
* ``bzrlib.lazy_import.lazy_import`` function to create on-demand
5111
objects. This allows all imports to stay at the global scope, but
5112
modules will not actually be imported if they are not used.
5113
(John Arbash Meinel)
5114
5115
* Support ``bzr://`` and ``bzr+ssh://`` urls to work with the new RPC-based
5116
transport which will be used with the upcoming high-performance smart
5117
server. The new command ``bzr serve`` will invoke bzr in server mode,
5118
which processes these requests. (Andrew Bennetts, Robert Collins, Martin
5119
Pool)
5120
5121
* New command ``bzr version-info`` which can be used to get a summary
5122
of the current state of the tree. This is especially useful as part
5123
of a build commands. See ``doc/version_info.txt`` for more information
5124
(John Arbash Meinel)
5125
5126
BUG FIXES:
5127
5128
* ``'bzr inventory [FILE...]'`` allows restricting the file list to a
5129
specific set of files. (John Arbash Meinel, #3631)
5130
5131
* Don't abort when annotating empty files (John Arbash Meinel, #56814)
5132
5133
* Add ``Stanza.to_unicode()`` which can be passed to another Stanza
5134
when nesting stanzas. Also, add ``read_stanza_unicode`` to handle when
5135
reading a nested Stanza. (John Arbash Meinel)
5136
5137
* Transform._set_mode() needs to stat the right file.
5138
(John Arbash Meinel, #56549)
5139
5140
* Raise WeaveFormatError rather than StopIteration when trying to read
5141
an empty Weave file. (John Arbash Meinel, #46871)
5142
5143
* Don't access e.code for generic URLErrors, only HTTPErrors have .code.
5144
(Vincent Ladeuil, #59835)
5145
5146
* Handle boundary="" lines properly to allow access through a Squid proxy.
5147
(John Arbash Meinel, #57723)
5148
5149
* revert now removes newly-added directories (Aaron Bentley, #54172)
5150
5151
* ``bzr upgrade sftp://`` shouldn't fail to upgrade v6 branches if there
5152
isn't a working tree. (David Allouche, #40679)
5153
5154
* Give nicer error messages when a user supplies an invalid --revision
5155
parameter. (John Arbash Meinel, #55420)
5156
5157
* Handle when LANG is not recognized by python. Emit a warning, but
5158
just revert to using 'ascii'. (John Arbash Meinel, #35392)
5159
5160
* Don't use ``preexec_fn`` on win32, as it is not supported by subprocess.
5161
(John Arbash Meinel)
5162
5163
* Skip specific tests when the dependencies aren't met. This includes
5164
some ``setup.py`` tests when ``python-dev`` is not available, and
5165
some tests that depend on paramiko. (John Arbash Meinel, Mattheiu Moy)
5166
5167
* Fallback to Paramiko properly, if no ``ssh`` executable exists on
5168
the system. (Andrew Bennetts, John Arbash Meinel)
5169
5170
* ``Branch.bind(other_branch)`` no longer takes a write lock on the
5171
other branch, and will not push or pull between the two branches.
5172
API users will need to perform a push or pull or update operation if they
5173
require branch synchronisation to take place. (Robert Collins, #47344)
5174
5175
* When creating a tarball or zipfile export, export unicode names as utf-8
5176
paths. This may not work perfectly on all platforms, but has the best
5177
chance of working in the common case. (John Arbash Meinel, #56816)
5178
5179
* When committing, only files that exist in working tree or basis tree
5180
may be specified (Aaron Bentley, #50793)
5181
5182
PORTABILITY:
5183
5184
* Fixes to run on Python 2.5 (Brian M. Carlson, Martin Pool, Marien Zwart)
5185
5186
INTERNALS:
5187
5188
* TestCaseInTempDir now creates a separate directory for HOME, rather
5189
than having HOME set to the same location as the working directory.
5190
(John Arbash Meinel)
5191
5192
* ``run_bzr_subprocess()`` can take an optional ``env_changes={}`` parameter,
5193
which will update os.environ inside the spawned child. It also can
5194
take a ``universal_newlines=True``, which helps when checking the output
5195
of the command. (John Arbash Meinel)
5196
5197
* Refactor SFTP vendors to allow easier re-use when ssh is used.
5198
(Andrew Bennetts)
5199
5200
* ``Transport.list_dir()`` and ``Transport.iter_files_recursive()`` should always
5201
return urlescaped paths. This is now tested (there were bugs in a few
5202
of the transports) (Andrew Bennetts, David Allouche, John Arbash Meinel)
5203
5204
* New utility function ``symbol_versioning.deprecation_string``. Returns the
5205
formatted string for a callable, deprecation format pair. (Robert Collins)
5206
5207
* New TestCase helper applyDeprecated. This allows you to call a callable
5208
which is deprecated without it spewing to the screen, just by supplying
5209
the deprecation format string issued for it. (Robert Collins)
5210
5211
* Transport.append and Transport.put have been deprecated in favor of
5212
``.append_bytes``, ``.append_file``, ``.put_bytes``, and
5213
``.put_file``. This removes the ambiguity in what type of object the
5214
functions take. ``Transport.non_atomic_put_{bytes,file}`` has also
5215
been added. Which works similarly to ``Transport.append()`` except for
5216
SFTP, it doesn't have a round trip when opening the file. Also, it
5217
provides functionality for creating a parent directory when trying
5218
to create a file, rather than raise NoSuchFile and forcing the
5219
caller to repeat their request.
5220
(John Arbash Meinel)
5221
5222
* WorkingTree has a new api ``unversion`` which allow the unversioning of
5223
entries by their file id. (Robert Collins)
5224
5225
* ``WorkingTree.pending_merges`` is deprecated. Please use the
5226
``get_parent_ids`` (introduced in 0.10) method instead. (Robert Collins)
5227
5228
* WorkingTree has a new ``lock_tree_write`` method which locks the branch for
5229
read rather than write. This is appropriate for actions which only need
5230
the branch data for reference rather than mutation. A new decorator
5231
``needs_tree_write_lock`` is provided in the workingtree module. Like the
5232
``needs_read_lock`` and ``needs_write_lock`` decorators this allows static
5233
declaration of the locking requirements of a function to ensure that
5234
a lock is taken out for casual scripts. (Robert Collins, #54107)
5235
5236
* All WorkingTree methods which write to the tree, but not to the branch
5237
have been converted to use ``needs_tree_write_lock`` rather than
5238
``needs_write_lock``. Also converted is the revert, conflicts and tree
5239
transform modules. This provides a modest performance improvement on
5240
metadir style trees, due to the reduce lock-acquisition, and a more
5241
significant performance improvement on lightweight checkouts from
5242
remote branches, where trivial operations used to pay a significant
5243
penalty. It also provides the basis for allowing readonly checkouts.
5244
(Robert Collins)
5245
5246
* Special case importing the standard library 'copy' module. This shaves
5247
off 40ms of startup time, while retaining compatibility. See:
5248
``bzrlib/inspect_for_copy.py`` for more details. (John Arbash Meinel)
5249
5250
* WorkingTree has a new parent class MutableTree which represents the
5251
specialisations of Tree which are able to be altered. (Robert Collins)
5252
5253
* New methods mkdir and ``put_file_bytes_non_atomic`` on MutableTree that
5254
mutate the tree and its contents. (Robert Collins)
5255
5256
* Transport behaviour at the root of the URL is now defined and tested.
5257
(Andrew Bennetts, Robert Collins)
5258
5259
TESTING:
5260
5261
* New test helper classs MemoryTree. This is typically accessed via
5262
``self.make_branch_and_memory_tree()`` in test cases. (Robert Collins)
5263
5264
* Add ``start_bzr_subprocess`` and ``stop_bzr_subprocess`` to allow test
5265
code to continue running concurrently with a subprocess of bzr.
5266
(Andrew Bennetts, Robert Collins)
5267
5268
* Add a new method ``Transport.get_smart_client()``. This is provided to
5269
allow upgrades to a richer interface than the VFS one provided by
5270
Transport. (Andrew Bennetts, Martin Pool)
5271
5272
bzr 0.10 2006-08-29
5273
--------------------
5274
5275
IMPROVEMENTS:
5276
* 'merge' now takes --uncommitted, to apply uncommitted changes from a
5277
tree. (Aaron Bentley)
5278
5279
* 'bzr add --file-ids-from' can be used to specify another path to use
5280
for creating file ids, rather than generating all new ones. Internally,
5281
the 'action' passed to ``smart_add_tree()`` can return ``file_ids`` that
5282
will be used, rather than having bzrlib generate new ones.
5283
(John Arbash Meinel, #55781)
5284
5285
* ``bzr selftest --benchmark`` now allows a ``--cache-dir`` parameter.
5286
This will cache some of the intermediate trees, and decrease the
5287
setup time for benchmark tests. (John Arbash Meinel)
5288
5289
* Inverse forms are provided for all boolean options. For example,
5290
--strict has --no-strict, --no-recurse has --recurse (Aaron Bentley)
5291
5292
* Serialize out Inventories directly, rather than using ElementTree.
5293
Writing out a kernel sized inventory drops from 2s down to ~350ms.
5294
(Robert Collins, John Arbash Meinel)
5295
5296
BUG FIXES:
5297
5298
* Help diffutils 2.8.4 get along with binary tests (Marien Zwart: #57614)
5299
5300
* Change LockDir so that if the lock directory doesn't exist when
5301
``lock_write()`` is called, an attempt will be made to create it.
5302
(John Arbash Meinel, #56974)
5303
5304
* ``bzr uncommit`` preserves pending merges. (John Arbash Meinel, #57660)
5305
5306
* Active FTP transport now works as intended. (ghozzy, #56472)
5307
5308
* Really fix mutter() so that it won't ever raise a UnicodeError.
5309
It means it is possible for ~/.bzr.log to contain non UTF-8 characters.
5310
But it is a debugging log, not a real user file.
5311
(John Arbash Meinel, #56947, #53880)
5312
5313
* Change Command handle to allow Unicode command and options.
5314
At present we cannot register Unicode command names, so we will get
5315
BzrCommandError('unknown command'), or BzrCommandError('unknown option')
5316
But that is better than a UnicodeError + a traceback.
5317
(John Arbash Meinel, #57123)
5318
5319
* Handle TZ=UTC properly when reading/writing revisions.
5320
(John Arbash Meinel, #55783, #56290)
5321
5322
* Use ``GPG_TTY`` to allow gpg --cl to work with gpg-agent in a pipeline,
5323
(passing text to sign in on stdin). (John Arbash Meinel, #54468)
5324
5325
* External diff does the right thing for binaries even in foreign
5326
languages. (John Arbash Meinel, #56307)
5327
5328
* Testament handles more cases when content is unicode. Specific bug was
5329
in handling of revision properties.
5330
(John Arbash Meinel, Holger Krekel, #54723)
5331
5332
* The bzr selftest was failing on installed versions due to a bug in a new
5333
test helper. (John Arbash Meinel, Robert Collins, #58057)
5334
5335
INTERNALS:
5336
5337
* ``bzrlib.cache_utf8`` contains ``encode()`` and ``decode()`` functions
5338
which can be used to cache the conversion between utf8 and Unicode.
5339
Especially helpful for some of the knit annotation code, which has to
5340
convert revision ids to utf8 to annotate lines in storage.
5341
(John Arbash Meinel)
5342
5343
* ``setup.py`` now searches the filesystem to find all packages which
5344
need to be installed. This should help make the life of packagers
5345
easier. (John Arbash Meinel)
5346
5347
bzr 0.9.0 2006-08-11
5348
---------------------
5349
5350
SURPRISES:
5351
5352
* The hard-coded built-in ignore rules have been removed. There are
5353
now two rulesets which are enforced. A user global one in
5354
``~/.bazaar/ignore`` which will apply to every tree, and the tree
5355
specific one '.bzrignore'.
5356
``~/.bazaar/ignore`` will be created if it does not exist, but with
5357
a more conservative list than the old default.
5358
This fixes bugs with default rules being enforced no matter what.
5359
The old list of ignore rules from bzr is available by
5360
running 'bzr ignore --old-default-rules'.
5361
(Robert Collins, Martin Pool, John Arbash Meinel)
5362
5363
* 'branches.conf' has been changed to 'locations.conf', since it can apply
5364
to more locations than just branch locations.
5365
(Aaron Bentley)
5366
5367
IMPROVEMENTS:
5368
5369
* The revision specifier "revno:" is extended to accept the syntax
5370
revno:N:branch. For example,
5371
revno:42:http://bazaar-vcs.org/bzr/bzr.dev/ means revision 42 in
5372
bzr.dev. (Matthieu Moy)
5373
5374
* Tests updates to ensure proper URL handling, UNICODE support, and
5375
proper printing when the user's terminal encoding cannot display
5376
the path of a file that has been versioned.
5377
``bzr branch`` can take a target URL rather than only a local directory.
5378
``Branch.get_parent()/set_parent()`` now save a relative path if possible,
5379
and normalize the parent based on root, allowing access across
5380
different transports. (John Arbash Meinel, Wouter van Heyst, Martin Pool)
5381
(Malone #48906, #42699, #40675, #5281, #3980, #36363, #43689,
5382
#42517, #42514)
5383
5384
* On Unix, detect terminal width using an ioctl not just $COLUMNS.
5385
Use terminal width for single-line logs from ``bzr log --line`` and
5386
pending-merge display. (Robert Widhopf-Fenk, Gustavo Niemeyer)
5387
(Malone #3507)
5388
5389
* On Windows, detect terminal width using GetConsoleScreenBufferInfo.
5390
(Alexander Belchenko)
5391
5392
* Speedup improvement for 'date:'-revision search. (Guillaume Pinot).
5393
5394
* Show the correct number of revisions pushed when pushing a new branch.
5395
(Robert Collins).
5396
5397
* 'bzr selftest' now shows a progress bar with the number of tests, and
5398
progress made. 'make check' shows tests in -v mode, to be more useful
5399
for the PQM status window. (Robert Collins).
5400
When using a progress bar, failed tests are printed out, rather than
5401
being overwritten by the progress bar until the suite finishes.
5402
(John Arbash Meinel)
5403
5404
* 'bzr selftest --benchmark' will run a new benchmarking selftest.
5405
'bzr selftest --benchmark --lsprof-timed' will use lsprofile to generate
5406
profile data for the individual profiled calls, allowing for fine
5407
grained analysis of performance.
5408
(Robert Collins, Martin Pool).
5409
5410
* 'bzr commit' shows a progress bar. This is useful for commits over sftp
5411
where commit can take an appreciable time. (Robert Collins)
5412
5413
* 'bzr add' is now less verbose in telling you what ignore globs were
5414
matched by files being ignored. Instead it just tells you how many
5415
were ignored (because you might reasonably be expecting none to be
5416
ignored). 'bzr add -v' is unchanged and will report every ignored
5417
file. (Robert Collins).
5418
5419
* ftp now has a test server if medusa is installed. As part of testing,
5420
ftp support has been improved, including support for supplying a
5421
non-standard port. (John Arbash Meinel).
5422
5423
* 'bzr log --line' shows the revision number, and uses only the
5424
first line of the log message (#5162, Alexander Belchenko;
5425
Matthieu Moy)
5426
5427
* 'bzr status' has had the --all option removed. The 'bzr ls' command
5428
should be used to retrieve all versioned files. (Robert Collins)
5429
5430
* 'bzr bundle OTHER/BRANCH' will create a bundle which can be sent
5431
over email, and applied on the other end, while maintaining ancestry.
5432
This bundle can be applied with either 'bzr merge' or 'bzr pull',
5433
the same way you would apply another branch.
5434
(John Arbash Meinel, Aaron Bentley)
5435
5436
* 'bzr whoami' can now be used to set your identity from the command line,
5437
for a branch or globally. (Robey Pointer)
5438
5439
* 'bzr checkout' now aliased to 'bzr co', and 'bzr annotate' to 'bzr ann'.
5440
(Michael Ellerman)
5441
5442
* 'bzr revert DIRECTORY' now reverts the contents of the directory as well.
5443
(Aaron Bentley)
5444
5445
* 'bzr get sftp://foo' gives a better error when paramiko is not present.
5446
Also updates things like 'http+pycurl://' if pycurl is not present.
5447
(John Arbash Meinel) (Malone #47821, #52204)
5448
5449
* New env variable ``BZR_PROGRESS_BAR``, sets the default progress bar type.
5450
Can be set to 'none' or 'dummy' to disable the progress bar, 'dots' or
5451
'tty' to create the respective type. (John Arbash Meinel, #42197, #51107)
5452
5453
* Improve the help text for 'bzr diff' to explain what various options do.
5454
(John Arbash Meinel, #6391)
5455
5456
* 'bzr uncommit -r 10' now uncommits revisions 11.. rather than uncommitting
5457
revision 10. This makes -r10 more in line with what other commands do.
5458
'bzr uncommit' also now saves the pending merges of the revisions that
5459
were removed. So it is safe to uncommit after a merge, fix something,
5460
and commit again. (John Arbash Meinel, #32526, #31426)
5461
5462
* 'bzr init' now also works on remote locations.
5463
(Wouter van Heyst, #48904)
5464
5465
* HTTP support has been updated. When using pycurl we now support
5466
connection keep-alive, which reduces dns requests and round trips.
5467
And for both urllib and pycurl we support multi-range requests,
5468
which decreases the number of round-trips. Performance results for
5469
``bzr branch http://bazaar-vcs.org/bzr/bzr.dev/`` indicate
5470
http branching is now 2-3x faster, and ``bzr pull`` in an existing
5471
branch is as much as 4x faster.
5472
(Michael Ellerman, Johan Rydberg, John Arbash Meinel, #46768)
5473
5474
* Performance improvements for sftp. Branching and pulling are now up to
5475
2x faster. Utilize paramiko.readv() support for async requests if it
5476
is available (paramiko > 1.6) (John Arbash Meinel)
5477
5478
BUG FIXES:
5479
5480
* Fix shadowed definition of TestLocationConfig that caused some
5481
tests not to run.

(Erik Bågfors, Michael Ellerman, Martin Pool, #32587)
5483
5484
* Fix unnecessary requirement of sign-my-commits that it be run from
5485
a working directory. (Martin Pool, Robert Collins)
5486
5487
* 'bzr push location' will only remember the push location if it succeeds
5488
in connecting to the remote location. (John Arbash Meinel, #49742)
5489
5490
* 'bzr revert' no longer toggles the executable bit on win32
5491
(John Arbash Meinel, #45010)
5492
5493
* Handle broken pipe under win32 correctly. (John Arbash Meinel)
5494
5495
* sftp tests now work correctly on win32 if you have a newer paramiko
5496
(John Arbash Meinel)
5497
5498
* Cleanup win32 test suite, and general cleanup of places where
5499
file handles were being held open. (John Arbash Meinel)
5500
5501
* When specifying filenames for 'diff -r x..y', the name of the file in the
5502
working directory can be used, even if its name is different in both x
5503
and y.
5504
5505
* File-ids containing single- or double-quotes are handled correctly by
5506
push. (Aaron Bentley, #52227)
5507
5508
* Normalize unicode filenames to ensure cross-platform consistency.
5509
(John Arbash Meinel, #43689)
5510
5511
* The argument parser can now handle '-' as an argument. Currently
5512
no code interprets it specially (it is mostly handled as a file named
5513
'-'). But plugins, and future operations can use it.
5514
(John Arbash meinel, #50984)
5515
5516
* Bundles can properly read binary files with a plain '\r' in them.
5517

5518
5519
* Tuning ``iter_entries()`` to be more efficient (John Arbash Meinel, #5444)

5528
* Removals are only committed if they match the filespec (or if there is
5529
no filespec). (#46635, Aaron Bentley)
5530
5531
* smart-add recurses through all supplied directories
5532
(John Arbash Meinel, #52578)
5533
5534
* Make the bundle reader extra lines before and after the bundle text.
5535
This allows you to parse an email with the bundle inline.
5536
(John Arbash Meinel, #49182)
5537
5538
* Change the file id generator to squash a little bit more. Helps when
5539
working with long filenames on windows. (Also helps for unicode filenames
5540
not generating hidden files). (John Arbash Meinel, #43801)
5541
5542
* Restore terminal mode on C-c while reading sftp password. (#48923,
5543
Nicholas Allen, Martin Pool)
5544
5545
* Timestamps are rounded to 1ms, and revision entries can be recreated
5546
exactly. (John Arbash Meinel, Jamie Wilkinson, #40693)
5547
5548
* Branch.base has changed to a URL, but ~/.bazaar/locations.conf should
5549
use local paths, since it is user visible (John Arbash Meinel, #53653)
5550
5551
* ``bzr status foo`` when foo was unversioned used to cause a full delta
5552
to be generated (John Arbash Meinel, #53638)
5553
5554
* When reading revision properties, an empty value should be considered
5555
the empty string, not None (John Arbash Meinel, #47782)
5556
5557
* ``bzr diff --diff-options`` can now handle binary files being changed.
5558
Also, the output is consistent when --diff-options is not supplied.
5559
(John Arbash Meinel, #54651, #52930)
5560
5561
* Use the right suffixes for loading plugins (John Arbash Meinel, #51810)
5562
5563
* Fix ``Branch.get_parent()`` to handle the case when the parent is not
5564
accessible (John Arbash Meinel, #52976)
5565
5566
INTERNALS:
5567
5568
* Combine the ignore rules into a single regex rather than looping over
5569
them to reduce the threshold where N^2 behaviour occurs in operations
5570
like status. (Jan Hudec, Robert Collins).
5571
5572
* Appending to ``bzrlib.DEFAULT_IGNORE`` is now deprecated. Instead, use
5573
one of the add functions in bzrlib.ignores. (John Arbash Meinel)
5574
5575
* 'bzr push' should only push the ancestry of the current revision, not
5576
all of the history in the repository. This is especially important for
5577
shared repositories. (John Arbash Meinel)
5578
5579
* ``bzrlib.delta.compare_trees`` now iterates in alphabetically sorted order,
5580
rather than randomly walking the inventories. (John Arbash Meinel)
5581
5582
* Doctests are now run in temporary directories which are cleaned up when
5583
they finish, rather than using special ScratchDir/ScratchBranch objects.
5584
(Martin Pool)
5585
5586
* Split ``check`` into separate methods on the branch and on the repository,
5587
so that it can be specialized in ways that are useful or efficient for
5588
different formats. (Martin Pool, Robert Collins)
5589
5590
* Deprecate ``Repository.all_revision_ids``; most methods don't really need
5591
the global revision graph but only that part leading up to a particular
5592
revision. (Martin Pool, Robert Collins)
5593
5594
* Add a BzrDirFormat ``control_formats`` list which allows for control formats
5595
that do not use '.bzr' to store their data - i.e. '.svn', '.hg' etc.
5596
(Robert Collins, Jelmer Vernooij).
5597
5598
* ``bzrlib.diff.external_diff`` can be redirected to any file-like object.
5599
Uses subprocess instead of spawnvp.

* New command line option '--profile-imports', which will install a custom
5603
importer to log time to import modules and regex compilation time to
5604
sys.stderr (John Arbash Meinel)
5605
5606
* 'EmptyTree' is now deprecated, please use ``repository.revision_tree(None)``
5607
instead. (Robert Collins)
5608

5666
bzr 0.8 2006-05-08
5667
-------------------
5668
5669
NOTES WHEN UPGRADING:
5670
5671
Release 0.8 of bzr introduces a new format for history storage, called
5672
'knit', as an evolution of to the 'weave' format used in 0.7. Local
5673
and remote operations are faster using knits than weaves. Several
5674
operations including 'init', 'init-repo', and 'upgrade' take a
5675
--format option that controls this. Branching from an existing branch
5676
will keep the same format.
5677
5678
It is possible to merge, pull and push between branches of different
5679
formats but this is slower than moving data between homogenous
5680
branches. It is therefore recommended (but not required) that you
5681
upgrade all branches for a project at the same time. Information on
5682
formats is shown by 'bzr info'.
5683
5684
bzr 0.8 now allows creation of 'repositories', which hold the history
5685
of files and revisions for several branches. Previously bzr kept all
5686
the history for a branch within the .bzr directory at the root of the
5687
branch, and this is still the default. To create a repository, use
5688
the new 'bzr init-repo' command. Branches exist as directories under
5689
the repository and contain just a small amount of information
5690
indicating the current revision of the branch.
5691
5692
bzr 0.8 also supports 'checkouts', which are similar to in cvs and
5693
subversion. Checkouts are associated with a branch (optionally in a
5694
repository), which contains all the historical information. The
5695
result is that a checkout can be deleted without losing any
5696
already-committed revisions. A new 'update' command is also available.
5697
5698
Repositories and checkouts are not supported with the 0.7 storage
5699
format. To use them you must upgrad to either knits, or to the
5700
'metaweave' format, which uses weaves but changes the .bzr directory
5701
arrangement.
5702
5703
5704
IMPROVEMENTS:
5705
5706
* Sftp paths can now be relative, or local, according to the lftp
5707
convention. Paths now take the form::
5708
5709
sftp://user:pass@host:port/~/relative/path
5710
or
5711
sftp://user:pass@host:port/absolute/path
5712
5713
* The FTP transport now tries to reconnect after a temporary
5714
failure. ftp put is made atomic. (Matthieu Moy)
5715
5716
* The FTP transport now maintains a pool of connections, and
5717
reuses them to avoid multiple connections to the same host (like
5718
sftp did). (Daniel Silverstone)
5719
5720
* The ``bzr_man.py`` file has been removed. To create the man page now,
5721
use ``./generate_docs.py man``. The new program can also create other files.
5722
Run ``python generate_docs.py --help`` for usage information.
5723
(Hans Ulrich Niedermann & James Blackwell).
5724
5725
* Man Page now gives full help (James Blackwell).
5726
Help also updated to reflect user config now being stored in .bazaar
5727
(Hans Ulrich Niedermann)
5728
5729
* It's now possible to set aliases in bazaar.conf (Erik Bågfors)
5730
5731
* Pull now accepts a --revision argument (Erik Bågfors)
5732
5733
* ``bzr re-sign`` now allows multiple revisions to be supplied on the command
5734
line. You can now use the following command to sign all of your old
5735
commits::
5736
5737
find .bzr/revision-store// -name my@email-* \
5738
| sed 's/.*\/\/..\///' \
5739
| xargs bzr re-sign
5740
5741
* Upgrade can now upgrade over the network. (Robert Collins)
5742
5743
* Two new commands 'bzr checkout' and 'bzr update' allow for CVS/SVN-alike
5744
behaviour. By default they will cache history in the checkout, but
5745
with --lightweight almost all data is kept in the master branch.
5746
(Robert Collins)
5747
5748
* 'revert' unversions newly-versioned files, instead of deleting them.
5749
5750
* 'merge' is more robust. Conflict messages have changed.
5751
5752
* 'merge' and 'revert' no longer clobber existing files that end in '~' or
5753
'.moved'.
5754
5755
* Default log format can be set in configuration and plugins can register
5756
their own formatters. (Erik Bågfors)
5757
5758
* New 'reconcile' command will check branch consistency and repair indexes
5759
that can become out of sync in pre 0.8 formats. (Robert Collins,
5760
Daniel Silverstone)
5761
5762
* New 'bzr init --format' and 'bzr upgrade --format' option to control
5763
what storage format is created or produced. (Robert Collins,
5764
Martin Pool)
5765
5766
* Add parent location to 'bzr info', if there is one. (Olaf Conradi)
5767
5768
* New developer commands 'weave-list' and 'weave-join'. (Martin Pool)
5769
5770
* New 'init-repository' command, plus support for repositories in 'init'
5771
and 'branch' (Aaron Bentley, Erik Bågfors, Robert Collins)
5772
5773
* Improve output of 'info' command. Show all relevant locations related to
5774
working tree, branch and repository. Use kibibytes for binary quantities.
5775
Fix off-by-one error in missing revisions of working tree. Make 'info'
5776
work on branches, repositories and remote locations. Show locations
5777
relative to the shared repository, if applicable. Show locking status
5778
of locations. (Olaf Conradi)
5779
5780
* Diff and merge now safely handle binary files. (Aaron Bentley)
5781
5782
* 'pull' and 'push' now normalise the revision history, so that any two
5783
branches with the same tip revision will have the same output from 'log'.
5784
(Robert Collins)
5785
5786
* 'merge' accepts --remember option to store parent location, like 'push'
5787
and 'pull'. (Olaf Conradi)
5788
5789
* bzr status and diff when files given as arguments do not exist
5790
in the relevant trees. (Martin Pool, #3619)
5791
5792
* Add '.hg' to the default ignore list. (Martin Pool)
5793
5794
* 'knit' is now the default disk format. This improves disk performance and
5795
utilization, increases incremental pull performance, robustness with SFTP
5796
and allows checkouts over SFTP to perform acceptably.
5797
The initial Knit code was contributed by Johan Rydberg based on a
5798
specification by Martin Pool.
5799
(Robert Collins, Aaron Bentley, Johan Rydberg, Martin Pool).
5800
5801
* New tool to generate all-in-one html version of the manual. (Alexander
5802
Belchenko)
5803
5804
* Hitting CTRL-C while doing an SFTP push will no longer cause stale locks
5805
to be left in the SFTP repository. (Robert Collins, Martin Pool).
5806
5807
* New option 'diff --prefix' to control how files are named in diff
5808
output, with shortcuts '-p0' and '-p1' corresponding to the options for
5809
GNU patch. (Alexander Belchenko, Goffredo Baroncelli, Martin Pool)
5810
5811
* Add --revision option to 'annotate' command. (Olaf Conradi)
5812
5813
* If bzr shows an unexpected revision-history after pulling (perhaps due
5814
to a reweave) it can now be corrected by 'bzr reconcile'.
5815
(Robert Collins)
5816
5817
CHANGES:
5818
5819
* Commit is now verbose by default, and shows changed filenames and the
5820
new revision number. (Robert Collins, Martin Pool)
5821
5822
* Unify 'mv', 'move', 'rename'. (Matthew Fuller, #5379)
5823
5824
* 'bzr -h' shows help. (Martin Pool, Ian Bicking, #35940)
5825
5826
* Make 'pull' and 'push' remember location on failure using --remember.
5827
(Olaf Conradi)
5828
5829
* For compatibility, make old format for using weaves inside metadir
5830
available as 'metaweave' format. Rename format 'metadir' to 'default'.
5831
Clean up help for option --format in commands 'init', 'init-repo' and
5832
'upgrade'. (Olaf Conradi)
5833
5834
INTERNALS:
5835
5836
* The internal storage of history, and logical branch identity have now
5837
been split into Branch, and Repository. The common locking and file
5838
management routines are now in bzrlib.lockablefiles.
5839
(Aaron Bentley, Robert Collins, Martin Pool)
5840
5841
* Transports can now raise DependencyNotPresent if they need a library
5842
which is not installed, and then another implementation will be
5843
tried. (Martin Pool)
5844
5845
* Remove obsolete (and no-op) `decode` parameter to `Transport.get`.
5846
(Martin Pool)
5847
5848
* Using Tree Transform for merge, revert, tree-building
5849
5850
* WorkingTree.create, Branch.create, ``WorkingTree.create_standalone``,
5851
Branch.initialize are now deprecated. Please see ``BzrDir.create_*`` for
5852
replacement API's. (Robert Collins)
5853
5854
* New BzrDir class represents the .bzr control directory and manages
5855
formatting issues. (Robert Collins)
5856
5857
* New repository.InterRepository class encapsulates Repository to
5858
Repository actions and allows for clean selection of optimised code
5859
paths. (Robert Collins)
5860
5861
* ``bzrlib.fetch.fetch`` and ``bzrlib.fetch.greedy_fetch`` are now
5862
deprecated, please use ``branch.fetch`` or ``repository.fetch``
5863
depending on your needs. (Robert Collins)
5864
5865
* deprecated methods now have a ``is_deprecated`` flag on them that can
5866
be checked, if you need to determine whether a given callable is
5867
deprecated at runtime. (Robert Collins)
5868
5869
* Progress bars are now nested - see
5870
``bzrlib.ui.ui_factory.nested_progress_bar``.
5871
(Robert Collins, Robey Pointer)
5872
5873
* New API call ``get_format_description()`` for each type of format.
5874
(Olaf Conradi)
5875
5876
* Changed ``branch.set_parent()`` to accept None to remove parent.
5877
(Olaf Conradi)
5878
5879
* Deprecated BzrError AmbiguousBase. (Olaf Conradi)
5880
5881
* WorkingTree.branch is now a read only property. (Robert Collins)
5882
5883
* bzrlib.ui.text.TextUIFactory now accepts a ``bar_type`` parameter which
5884
can be None or a factory that will create a progress bar. This is
5885
useful for testing or for overriding the bzrlib.progress heuristic.
5886
(Robert Collins)
5887
5888
* New API method ``get_physical_lock_status()`` to query locks present on a
5889
transport. (Olaf Conradi)
5890
5891
* Repository.reconcile now takes a thorough keyword parameter to allow
5892
requesting an indepth reconciliation, rather than just a data-loss
5893
check. (Robert Collins)
5894
5895
* ``bzrlib.ui.ui_factory protocol`` now supports ``get_boolean`` to prompt
5896
the user for yes/no style input. (Robert Collins)
5897
5898
TESTING:
5899
5900
* SFTP tests now shortcut the SSH negotiation, reducing test overhead
5901
for testing SFTP protocol support. (Robey Pointer)
5902
5903
* Branch formats are now tested once per implementation (see ``bzrlib.
5904
tests.branch_implementations``. This is analagous to the transport
5905
interface tests, and has been followed up with working tree,
5906
repository and BzrDir tests. (Robert Collins)
5907
5908
* New test base class TestCaseWithTransport provides a transport aware
5909
test environment, useful for testing any transport-interface using
5910
code. The test suite option --transport controls the transport used
5911
by this class (when its not being used as part of implementation
5912
contract testing). (Robert Collins)
5913
5914
* Close logging handler on disabling the test log. This will remove the
5915
handler from the internal list inside python's logging module,
5916
preventing shutdown from closing it twice. (Olaf Conradi)
5917
5918
* Move test case for uncommit to blackbox tests. (Olaf Conradi)
5919
5920
* ``run_bzr`` and ``run_bzr_captured`` now accept a 'stdin="foo"'
5921
parameter which will provide String("foo") to the command as its stdin.

5926
CHANGES:
5927
5928
* .bzrignore is excluded from exports, on the grounds that it's a bzr
5929
internal-use file and may not be wanted. (Jamie Wilkinson)
5930
5931
* The "bzr directories" command were removed in favor of the new
5932
--kind option to the "bzr inventory" command. To list all
5933
versioned directories, now use "bzr inventory --kind directory".
5934
(Johan Rydberg)
5935
5936
* Under Windows configuration directory is now ``%APPDATA%\bazaar\2.0``
5937
by default. (John Arbash Meinel)
5938
5939
* The parent of Bzr configuration directory can be set by ``BZR_HOME``
5940
environment variable. Now the path for it is searched in ``BZR_HOME``,
5941
then in HOME. Under Windows the order is: ``BZR_HOME``, ``APPDATA``
5942
(usually points to ``C:\Documents and Settings\User Name\Application Data``),
5943
``HOME``. (John Arbash Meinel)
5944
5945
* Plugins with the same name in different directories in the bzr plugin
5946
path are no longer loaded: only the first successfully loaded one is
5947
used. (Robert Collins)
5948
5949
* Use systems' external ssh command to open connections if possible.
5950
This gives better integration with user settings such as ProxyCommand.
5951
(James Henstridge)
5952
5953
* Permissions on files underneath .bzr/ are inherited from the .bzr
5954
directory. So for a shared repository, simply doing 'chmod -R g+w .bzr/'
5955
will mean that future file will be created with group write permissions.
5956
5957
* configure.in and config.guess are no longer in the builtin default
5958
ignore list.
5959
5960
* '.sw[nop]' pattern ignored, to ignore vim swap files for nameless
5961
files. (John Arbash Meinel, Martin Pool)
5962
5963
IMPROVEMENTS:
5964
5965
* "bzr INIT dir" now initializes the specified directory, and creates
5966
it if it does not exist. (John Arbash Meinel)
5967
5968
* New remerge command (Aaron Bentley)
5969
5970
* Better zsh completion script. (Steve Borho)
5971
5972
* 'bzr diff' now returns 1 when there are changes in the working
5973
tree. (Robert Collins)
5974
5975
* 'bzr push' now exists and can push changes to a remote location.
5976
This uses the transport infrastructure, and can store the remote
5977
location in the ~/.bazaar/branches.conf configuration file.
5978
(Robert Collins)
5979
5980
* Test directories are only kept if the test fails and the user requests
5981
that they be kept.
5982
5983
* Tweaks to short log printing
5984
5985
* Added branch nicks, new nick command, printing them in log output.
5986
(Aaron Bentley)
5987
5988
* If ``$BZR_PDB`` is set, pop into the debugger when an uncaught exception
5989
occurs. (Martin Pool)
5990
5991
* Accept 'bzr resolved' (an alias for 'bzr resolve'), as this is
5992
the same as Subversion. (Martin Pool)
5993
5994
* New ftp transport support (on ftplib), for ftp:// and aftp://
5995
URLs. (Daniel Silverstone)
5996
5997
* Commit editor temporary files now start with ``bzr_log.``, to allow
5998
text editors to match the file name and set up appropriate modes or
5999
settings. (Magnus Therning)
6000
6001
* Improved performance when integrating changes from a remote weave.
6002
(Goffredo Baroncelli)
6003
6004
* Sftp will attempt to cache the connection, so it is more likely that
6005
a connection will be reused, rather than requiring multiple password
6006
requests.
6007
6008
* bzr revno now takes an optional argument indicating the branch whose
6009
revno should be printed. (Michael Ellerman)
6010
6011
* bzr cat defaults to printing the last version of the file.
6012
(Matthieu Moy, #3632)
6013
6014
* New global option 'bzr --lsprof COMMAND' runs bzr under the lsprof
6015
profiler. (Denys Duchier)
6016
6017
* Faster commits by reading only the headers of affected weave files.
6018
(Denys Duchier)
6019
6020
* 'bzr add' now takes a --dry-run parameter which shows you what would be
6021
added, but doesn't actually add anything. (Michael Ellerman)
6022
6023
* 'bzr add' now lists how many files were ignored per glob. add --verbose
6024
lists the specific files. (Aaron Bentley)
6025
6026
* 'bzr missing' now supports displaying changes in diverged trees and can
6027
be limited to show what either end of the comparison is missing.
6028
(Aaron Bently, with a little prompting from Daniel Silverstone)
6029
6030
BUG FIXES:
6031
6032
* SFTP can walk up to the root path without index errors. (Robert Collins)
6033
6034
* Fix bugs in running bzr with 'python -O'. (Martin Pool)
6035
6036
* Error when run with -OO
6037
6038
* Fix bug in reporting http errors that don't have an http error code.
6039
(Martin Pool)
6040
6041
* Handle more cases of pipe errors in display commands
6042
6043
* Change status to 3 for all errors
6044
6045
* Files that are added and unlinked before committing are completely
6046
ignored by diff and status
6047
6048
* Stores with some compressed texts and some uncompressed texts are now
6049
able to be used. (John A Meinel)
6050
6051
* Fix for bzr pull failing sometimes under windows
6052
6053
* Fix for sftp transport under windows when using interactive auth
6054
6055
* Show files which are both renamed and modified as such in 'bzr
6056
status' output. (Daniel Silverstone, #4503)
6057
6058
* Make annotate cope better with revisions committed without a valid
6059
email address. (Marien Zwart)
6060
6061
* Fix representation of tab characters in commit messages.
6062
(Harald Meland)
6063
6064
* List of plugin directories in ``BZR_PLUGIN_PATH`` environment variable is
6065
now parsed properly under Windows. (Alexander Belchenko)
6066
6067
* Show number of revisions pushed/pulled/merged. (Robey Pointer)
6068
6069
* Keep a cached copy of the basis inventory to speed up operations
6070
that need to refer to it. (Johan Rydberg, Martin Pool)
6071
6072
* Fix bugs in bzr status display of non-ascii characters.
6073
(Martin Pool)
6074
6075
* Remove Makefile.in from default ignore list.
6076
(Tollef Fog Heen, Martin Pool, #6413)
6077
6078
* Fix failure in 'bzr added'. (Nathan McCallum, Martin Pool)
6079
6080
TESTING:
6081
6082
* Fix selftest asking for passwords when there are no SFTP keys.
6083
(Robey Pointer, Jelmer Vernooij)
6084
6085
* Fix selftest run with 'python -O'. (Martin Pool)
6086
6087
* Fix HTTP tests under Windows. (John Arbash Meinel)
6088
6089
* Make tests work even if HOME is not set (Aaron Bentley)
6090
6091
* Updated ``build_tree`` to use fixed line-endings for tests which read
6092
the file cotents and compare. Make some tests use this to pass under
6093
Windows. (John Arbash Meinel)
6094
6095
* Skip stat and symlink tests under Windows. (Alexander Belchenko)
6096
6097
* Delay in selftest/testhashcash is now issued under win32 and Cygwin.
6098
(John Arbash Meinel)
6099
6100
* Use terminal width to align verbose test output. (Martin Pool)
6101
6102
* Blackbox tests are maintained within the bzrlib.tests.blackbox directory.
6103
If adding a new test script please add that to
6104
``bzrlib.tests.blackbox.__init__``. (Robert Collins)
6105
6106
* Much better error message if one of the test suites can't be
6107
imported. (Martin Pool)
6108
6109
* Make check now runs the test suite twice - once with the default locale,
6110
and once with all locales forced to C, to expose bugs. This is not
6111
trivially done within python, so for now its only triggered by running
6112
Make check. Integrators and packagers who wish to check for full
6113
platform support should run 'make check' to test the source.
6114
(Robert Collins)
6115
6116
* Tests can now run TestSkipped if they can't execute for any reason.
6117
(Martin Pool) (NB: TestSkipped should only be raised for correctable
6118
reasons - see the wiki spec ImprovingBzrTestSuite).
6119
6120
* Test sftp with relative, absolute-in-homedir and absolute-not-in-homedir
6121
paths for the transport tests. Introduce blackbox remote sftp tests that
6122
test the same permutations. (Robert Collins, Robey Pointer)
6123
6124
* Transport implementation tests are now independent of the local file
6125
system, which allows tests for esoteric transports, and for features
6126
not available in the local file system. They also repeat for variations
6127
on the URL scheme that can introduce issues in the transport code,
6128
see bzrlib.transport.TransportTestProviderAdapter() for this.
6129
(Robert Collins).
6130
6131
* ``TestCase.build_tree`` uses the transport interface to build trees,
6132
pass in a transport parameter to give it an existing connection.
6133
(Robert Collins).
6134
6135
INTERNALS:
6136
6137
* WorkingTree.pull has been split across Branch and WorkingTree,
6138
to allow Branch only pulls. (Robert Collins)
6139
6140
* ``commands.display_command`` now returns the result of the decorated
6141
function. (Robert Collins)
6142
6143
* LocationConfig now has a ``set_user_option(key, value)`` call to save
6144
a setting in its matching location section (a new one is created
6145
if needed). (Robert Collins)
6146
6147
* Branch has two new methods, ``get_push_location`` and
6148
``set_push_location`` to respectively, get and set the push location.
6149
(Robert Collins)
6150
6151
* ``commands.register_command`` now takes an optional flag to signal that
6152
the registrant is planning to decorate an existing command. When
6153
given multiple plugins registering a command is not an error, and
6154
the original command class (whether built in or a plugin based one) is
6155
returned to the caller. There is a new error 'MustUseDecorated' for
6156
signalling when a wrapping command should switch to the original
6157
version. (Robert Collins)
6158
6159
* Some option parsing errors will raise 'BzrOptionError', allowing
6160
granular detection for decorating commands. (Robert Collins).
6161
6162
* ``Branch.read_working_inventory`` has moved to
6163
``WorkingTree.read_working_inventory``. This necessitated changes to
6164
``Branch.get_root_id``, and a move of ``Branch.set_inventory`` to
6165
WorkingTree as well. To make it clear that a WorkingTree cannot always
6166
be obtained ``Branch.working_tree()`` will raise
6167
``errors.NoWorkingTree`` if one cannot be obtained. (Robert Collins)
6168
6169
* All pending merges operations from Branch are now on WorkingTree.
6170
(Robert Collins)
6171
6172
* The follow operations from Branch have moved to WorkingTree::
6173
6174
add()
6175
commit()
6176
move()
6177
rename_one()
6178
unknowns()
6179
6180
(Robert Collins)
6181
6182
* ``bzrlib.add.smart_add_branch`` is now ``smart_add_tree``. (Robert Collins)
6183
6184
* New "rio" serialization format, similar to rfc-822. (Martin Pool)
6185
6186
* Rename selftests to ``bzrlib.tests.test_foo``. (John A Meinel, Martin
6187
Pool)
6188
6189
* ``bzrlib.plugin.all_plugins`` has been changed from an attribute to a
6190
query method. (Robert Collins)
6191
6192
* New options to read only the table-of-contents of a weave.
6193
(Denys Duchier)
6194
6195
* Raise NoSuchFile when someone tries to add a non-existant file.
6196
(Michael Ellerman)
6197
6198
* Simplify handling of DivergedBranches in ``cmd_pull()``.
6199
(Michael Ellerman)
6200
6201
* Branch.controlfile* logic has moved to lockablefiles.LockableFiles, which
6202
is exposed as ``Branch().control_files``. Also this has been altered with the
6203
controlfile pre/suffix replaced by simple method names like 'get' and
6204
'put'. (Aaron Bentley, Robert Collins).
6205
6206
* Deprecated functions and methods can now be marked as such using the
6207
``bzrlib.symbol_versioning`` module. Marked method have their docstring
6208
updated and will issue a DeprecationWarning using the warnings module
6209
when they are used. (Robert Collins)
6210
6211
* ``bzrlib.osutils.safe_unicode`` now exists to provide parameter coercion
6212
for functions that need unicode strings. (Robert Collins)
6213
6214
bzr 0.6 2005-10-28
6215
------------------
6216
6217
IMPROVEMENTS:
6218
6219
* pull now takes --verbose to show you what revisions are added or removed
6220
(John A Meinel)
6221
6222
* merge now takes a --show-base option to include the base text in
6223
conflicts.
6224
(Aaron Bentley)
6225
6226
* The config files are now read using ConfigObj, so '=' should be used as
6227
a separator, not ':'.
6228
(Aaron Bentley)
6229
6230
* New 'bzr commit --strict' option refuses to commit if there are
6231
any unknown files in the tree. To commit, make sure all files are
6232
either ignored, added, or deleted. (Michael Ellerman)
6233
6234
* The config directory is now ~/.bazaar, and there is a single file
6235
~/.bazaar/bazaar.conf storing email, editor and other preferences.
6236
(Robert Collins)
6237
6238
* 'bzr add' no longer takes a --verbose option, and a --quiet option
6239
has been added that suppresses all output.
6240
6241
* Improved zsh completion support in contrib/zsh, from Clint
6242
Adams.
6243
6244
* Builtin 'bzr annotate' command, by Martin Pool with improvements from
6245
Goffredo Baroncelli.
6246
6247
* 'bzr check' now accepts -v for verbose reporting, and checks for
6248
ghosts in the branch. (Robert Collins)
6249
6250
* New command 're-sign' which will regenerate the gpg signature for
6251
a revision. (Robert Collins)
6252
6253
* If you set ``check_signatures=require`` for a path in
6254
``~/.bazaar/branches.conf`` then bzr will invoke your
6255
``gpg_signing_command`` (defaults to gpg) and record a digital signature
6256
of your commit. (Robert Collins)
6257
6258
* New sftp transport, based on Paramiko. (Robey Pointer)
6259
6260
* 'bzr pull' now accepts '--clobber' which will discard local changes
6261
and make this branch identical to the source branch. (Robert Collins)
6262
6263
* Just give a quieter warning if a plugin can't be loaded, and
6264
put the details in .bzr.log. (Martin Pool)
6265
6266
* 'bzr branch' will now set the branch-name to the last component of the
6267
output directory, if one was supplied.
6268
6269
* If the option ``post_commit`` is set to one (or more) python function
6270
names (must be in the bzrlib namespace), then they will be invoked
6271
after the commit has completed, with the branch and ``revision_id`` as
6272
parameters. (Robert Collins)
6273
6274
* Merge now has a retcode of 1 when conflicts occur. (Robert Collins)
6275
6276
* --merge-type weave is now supported for file contents. Tree-shape
6277
changes are still three-way based. (Martin Pool, Aaron Bentley)
6278
6279
* 'bzr check' allows the first revision on revision-history to have
6280
parents - something that is expected for cheap checkouts, and occurs
6281
when conversions from baz do not have all history. (Robert Collins).
6282
6283
* 'bzr merge' can now graft unrelated trees together, if your specify
6284
0 as a base. (Aaron Bentley)
6285
6286
* 'bzr commit branch' and 'bzr commit branch/file1 branch/file2' now work
6287
(Aaron Bentley)
6288
6289
* Add '.sconsign*' to default ignore list. (Alexander Belchenko)
6290
6291
* 'bzr merge --reprocess' minimizes conflicts
6292
6293
TESTING:
6294
6295
* The 'bzr selftest --pattern' option for has been removed, now
6296
test specifiers on the command line can be simple strings, or
6297
regexps, or both. (Robert Collins)
6298
6299
* Passing -v to selftest will now show the time each test took to
6300
complete, which will aid in analysing performance regressions and
6301
related questions. (Robert Collins)
6302
6303
* 'bzr selftest' runs all tests, even if one fails, unless '--one'
6304
is given. (Martin Pool)
6305
6306
* There is a new method for TestCaseInTempDir, assertFileEqual, which
6307
will check that a given content is equal to the content of the named
6308
file. (Robert Collins)
6309
6310
* Fix test suite's habit of leaving many temporary log files in $TMPDIR.
6311
(Martin Pool)
6312
6313
INTERNALS:
6314
6315
* New 'testament' command and concept for making gpg-signatures
6316
of revisions that are not tied to a particular internal
6317
representation. (Martin Pool).
6318
6319
* Per-revision properties ('revprops') as key-value associated
6320
strings on each revision created when the revision is committed.
6321
Intended mainly for the use of external tools. (Martin Pool).
6322
6323
* Config options have moved from bzrlib.osutils to bzrlib.config.
6324
(Robert Collins)
6325
6326
* Improved command line option definitions allowing explanations
6327
for individual options, among other things. Contributed by
6328
Magnus Therning.
6329
6330
* Config options have moved from bzrlib.osutils to bzrlib.config.
6331
Configuration is now done via the config.Config interface:
6332
Depending on whether you have a Branch, a Location or no information
6333
available, construct a ``*Config``, and use its ``signature_checking``,
6334
``username`` and ``user_email`` methods. (Robert Collins)
6335
6336
* Plugins are now loaded under bzrlib.plugins, not bzrlib.plugin, and
6337
they are made available for other plugins to use. You should not
6338
import other plugins during the ``__init__`` of your plugin though, as
6339
no ordering is guaranteed, and the plugins directory is not on the
6340
python path. (Robert Collins)
6341
6342
* Branch.relpath has been moved to WorkingTree.relpath. WorkingTree no
6343
no longer takes an inventory, rather it takes an option branch
6344
parameter, and if None is given will open the branch at basedir
6345
implicitly. (Robert Collins)
6346
6347
* Cleaner exception structure and error reporting. Suggested by
6348
Scott James Remnant. (Martin Pool)
6349
6350
* Branch.remove has been moved to WorkingTree, which has also gained
6351
``lock_read``, ``lock_write`` and ``unlock`` methods for convenience.
6352
(Robert Collins)
6353
6354
* Two decorators, ``needs_read_lock`` and ``needs_write_lock`` have been
6355
added to the branch module. Use these to cause a function to run in a
6356
read or write lock respectively. (Robert Collins)
6357
6358
* ``Branch.open_containing`` now returns a tuple (Branch, relative-path),
6359
which allows direct access to the common case of 'get me this file
6360
from its branch'. (Robert Collins)
6361
6362
* Transports can register using ``register_lazy_transport``, and they
6363
will be loaded when first used. (Martin Pool)
6364
6365
* 'pull' has been factored out of the command as ``WorkingTree.pull()``.
6366
A new option to WorkingTree.pull has been added, clobber, which will
6367
ignore diverged history and pull anyway.
6368
(Robert Collins)
6369
6370
* config.Config has a ``get_user_option`` call that accepts an option name.
6371
This will be looked up in branches.conf and bazaar.conf as normal.
6372
It is intended that this be used by plugins to support options -
6373
options of built in programs should have specific methods on the config.
6374
(Robert Collins)
6375
6376
* ``merge.merge_inner`` now has tempdir as an optional parameter.
6377
(Robert Collins)
6378
6379
* Tree.kind is not recorded at the top level of the hierarchy, as it was
6380
missing on EmptyTree, leading to a bug with merge on EmptyTrees.
6381
(Robert Collins)
6382
6383
* ``WorkingTree.__del__`` has been removed, it was non deterministic and not
6384
doing what it was intended to. See ``WorkingTree.__init__`` for a comment
6385
about future directions. (Robert Collins/Martin Pool)
6386
6387
* bzrlib.transport.http has been modified so that only 404 urllib errors
6388
are returned as NoSuchFile. Other exceptions will propogate as normal.
6389
This allows debuging of actual errors. (Robert Collins)
6390
6391
* bzrlib.transport.Transport now accepts *ONLY* url escaped relative paths
6392
to apis like 'put', 'get' and 'has'. This is to provide consistent
6393
behaviour - it operates on url's only. (Robert Collins)
6394
6395
* Transports can register using ``register_lazy_transport``, and they
6396
will be loaded when first used. (Martin Pool)
6397
6398
* ``merge_flex`` no longer calls ``conflict_handler.finalize()``, instead that
6399
is called by ``merge_inner``. This is so that the conflict count can be
6400
retrieved (and potentially manipulated) before returning to the caller
6401
of ``merge_inner``. Likewise 'merge' now returns the conflict count to the
6402
caller. (Robert Collins)
6403
6404
* ``revision.revision_graph`` can handle having only partial history for
6405
a revision - that is no revisions in the graph with no parents.
6406
(Robert Collins).
6407
6408
* New ``builtins.branch_files`` uses the standard ``file_list`` rules to
6409
produce a branch and a list of paths, relative to that branch
6410
(Aaron Bentley)
6411
6412
* New TestCase.addCleanup facility.
6413
6414
* New ``bzrlib.version_info`` tuple (similar to ``sys.version_info``),
6415
which can be used by programs importing bzrlib.
6416
6417
BUG FIXES:
6418
6419
* Better handling of branches in directories with non-ascii names.
6420
(Joel Rosdahl, Panagiotis Papadakos)
6421
6422
* Upgrades of trees with no commits will not fail due to accessing
6423
[-1] in the revision-history. (Andres Salomon)

bzr 0.1.1 2005-10-12
6427
--------------------
6428
6429
BUG FIXES:
6430
6431
* Fix problem in pulling over http from machines that do not
6432
allow directories to be listed.
6433
6434
* Avoid harmless warning about invalid hash cache after
6435
upgrading branch format.
6436
6437
PERFORMANCE:
6438
6439
* Avoid some unnecessary http operations in branch and pull.

6442
bzr 0.1 2005-10-11
6443
------------------
6444
6445
NOTES:
6446
6447
* 'bzr branch' over http initially gives a very high estimate
6448
of completion time but it should fall as the first few
6449
revisions are pulled in. branch is still slow on
6450
high-latency connections.
6451
6452
BUG FIXES:
6453
6454
* bzr-man.py has been updated to work again. Contributed by
6455
Rob Weir.
6456
6457
* Locking is now done with fcntl.lockf which works with NFS
6458
file systems. Contributed by Harald Meland.
6459
6460
* When a merge encounters a file that has been deleted on
6461
one side and modified on the other, the old contents are
6462
written out to foo.BASE and foo.SIDE, where SIDE is this
6463
or OTHER. Contributed by Aaron Bentley.
6464
6465
* Export was choosing incorrect file paths for the content of
6466
the tarball, this has been fixed by Aaron Bentley.
6467
6468
* Commit will no longer commit without a log message, an
6469
error is returned instead. Contributed by Jelmer Vernooij.
6470
6471
* If you commit a specific file in a sub directory, any of its
6472
parent directories that are added but not listed will be
6473
automatically included. Suggested by Michael Ellerman.
6474
6475
* bzr commit and upgrade did not correctly record new revisions
6476
for files with only a change to their executable status.
6477
bzr will correct this when it encounters it. Fixed by
6478
Robert Collins
6479
6480
* HTTP tests now force off the use of ``http_proxy`` for the duration.
6481
Contributed by Gustavo Niemeyer.
6482
6483
* Fix problems in merging weave-based branches that have
6484
different partial views of history.
6485
6486
* Symlink support: working with symlinks when not in the root of a
6487
bzr tree was broken, patch from Scott James Remnant.
6488
6489
IMPROVEMENTS:
6490
6491
* 'branch' now accepts a --basis parameter which will take advantage
6492
of local history when making a new branch. This allows faster
6493
branching of remote branches. Contributed by Aaron Bentley.
6494
6495
* New tree format based on weave files, called version 5.
6496
Existing branches can be upgraded to this format using
6497
'bzr upgrade'.
6498
6499
* Symlinks are now versionable. Initial patch by
6500
Erik Toubro Nielsen, updated to head by Robert Collins.
6501
6502
* Executable bits are tracked on files. Patch from Gustavo
6503
Niemeyer.
6504
6505
* 'bzr status' now shows unknown files inside a selected directory.
6506
Patch from Heikki Paajanen.
6507
6508
* Merge conflicts are recorded in .bzr. Two new commands 'conflicts'
6509
and 'resolve' have needed added, which list and remove those
6510
merge conflicts respectively. A conflicted tree cannot be committed
6511
in. Contributed by Aaron Bentley.
6512
6513
* 'rm' is now an alias for 'remove'.
6514
6515
* Stores now split out their content in a single byte prefixed hash,
6516
dropping the density of files per directory by 256. Contributed by
6517
Gustavo Niemeyer.
6518
6519
* 'bzr diff -r branch:URL' will now perform a diff between two branches.
6520
Contributed by Robert Collins.
6521
6522
* 'bzr log' with the default formatter will show merged revisions,
6523
indented to the right. Initial implementation contributed by Gustavo
6524
Niemeyer, made incremental by Robert Collins.
6525
6526
6527
INTERNALS:
6528
6529
* Test case failures have the exception printed after the log
6530
for your viewing pleasure.
6531
6532
* InventoryEntry is now an abstract base class, use one of the
6533
concrete InventoryDirectory etc classes instead.
6534
6535
* Branch raises an UnsupportedFormatError when it detects a
6536
bzr branch it cannot understand. This allows for precise
6537
handling of such circumstances.
6538
6539
* Remove RevisionReference class; ``Revision.parent_ids`` is now simply a
6540
list of their ids and ``parent_sha1s`` is a list of their corresponding
6541
sha1s (for old branches only at the moment.)
6542
6543
* New method-object style interface for Commit() and Fetch().
6544
6545
* Renamed ``Branch.last_patch()`` to ``Branch.last_revision()``, since
6546
we call them revisions not patches.
6547
6548
* Move ``copy_branch`` to ``bzrlib.clone.copy_branch``. The destination
6549
directory is created if it doesn't exist.
6550
6551
* Inventories now identify the files which were present by
6552
giving the revision *of that file*.
6553
6554
* Inventory and Revision XML contains a version identifier.
6555
This must be consistent with the overall branch version
6556
but allows for more flexibility in future upgrades.
6557
6558
TESTING:
6559
6560
* Removed testsweet module so that tests can be run after
6561
bzr installed by 'bzr selftest'.
6562
6563
* 'bzr selftest' command-line arguments can now be partial ids
6564
of tests to run, e.g. ``bzr selftest test_weave``
6565
6566
6567
bzr 0.0.9 2005-09-23
6568
--------------------
6569
6570
BUG FIXES:
6571
6572
* Fixed "branch -r" option.
6573
6574
* Fix remote access to branches containing non-compressed history.
6575
(Robert Collins).
6576
6577
* Better reliability of http server tests. (John Arbash-Meinel)
6578
6579
* Merge graph maximum distance calculation fix. (Aaron Bentley)
6580
6581
* Various minor bug in windows support have been fixed, largely in the
6582
test suite. Contributed by Alexander Belchenko.
6583
6584
IMPROVEMENTS:
6585
6586
* Status now accepts a -r argument to give status between chosen
6587
revisions. Contributed by Heikki Paajanen.
6588
6589
* Revision arguments no longer use +/-/= to control ranges, instead
6590
there is a 'before' namespace, which limits the successive namespace.
6591
For example '$ bzr log -r date:yesterday..before:date:today' will
6592
select everything from yesterday and before today. Contributed by
6593
Robey Pointer
6594
6595
* There is now a bzr.bat file created by distutils when building on
6596
Windows. Contributed by Alexander Belchenko.
6597
6598
INTERNALS:
6599
6600
* Removed uuid() as it was unused.
6601
6602
* Improved 'fetch' code for pulling revisions from one branch into
6603
another (used by pull, merged, etc.)
6604
6605
6606
bzr 0.0.8 2005-09-20
6607
--------------------
6608
6609
IMPROVEMENTS:
6610
6611
* Adding a file whose parent directory is not versioned will
6612
implicitly add the parent, and so on up to the root. This means
6613
you should never need to explictly add a directory, they'll just
6614
get added when you add a file in the directory. Contributed by
6615
Michael Ellerman.
6616
6617
* Ignore ``.DS_Store`` (contains Mac metadata) by default.
6618
(Nir Soffer)
6619
6620
* If you set ``BZR_EDITOR`` in the environment, it is checked in
6621
preference to EDITOR and the config file for the interactive commit
6622
editing program. Related to this is a bugfix where a missing program
6623
set in EDITOR would cause editing to fail, now the fallback program
6624
for the operating system is still tried.
6625
6626
* Files that are not directories/symlinks/regular files will no longer
6627
cause bzr to fail, it will just ignore them by default. You cannot add
6628
them to the tree though - they are not versionable.
6629
6630
6631
INTERNALS:
6632
6633
* Refactor xml packing/unpacking.
6634
6635
BUG FIXES:
6636
6637
* Fixed 'bzr mv' by Ollie Rutherfurd.
6638
6639
* Fixed strange error when trying to access a nonexistent http
6640
branch.
6641
6642
* Make sure that the hashcache gets written out if it can't be
6643
read.
6644
6645
6646
PORTABILITY:
6647
6648
* Various Windows fixes from Ollie Rutherfurd.
6649
6650
* Quieten warnings about locking; patch from Matt Lavin.
6651
6652
6653
bzr-0.0.7 2005-09-02
6654
--------------------
6655
6656
NEW FEATURES:
6657
6658
* ``bzr shell-complete`` command contributed by Clint Adams to
6659
help with intelligent shell completion.
6660
6661
* New expert command ``bzr find-merge-base`` for debugging merges.
6662
6663
6664
ENHANCEMENTS:
6665
6666
* Much better merge support.
6667
6668
* merge3 conflicts are now reported with markers like '<<<<<<<'
6669
(seven characters) which is the same as CVS and pleases things
6670
like emacs smerge.
6671
6672
6673
BUG FIXES:
6674
6675
* ``bzr upgrade`` no longer fails when trying to fix trees that
6676
mention revisions that are not present.
6677
6678
* Fixed bugs in listing plugins from ``bzr plugins``.
6679
6680
* Fix case of $EDITOR containing options for the editor.
6681
6682
* Fix log -r refusing to show the last revision.
6683
(Patch from Goffredo Baroncelli.)
6684
6685
6686
CHANGES:
6687
6688
* ``bzr log --show-ids`` shows the revision ids of all parents.
6689
6690
* Externally provided commands on your $BZRPATH no longer need
6691
to recognize --bzr-usage to work properly, and can just handle
6692
--help themselves.
6693
6694
6695
LIBRARY:
6696
6697
* Changed trace messages to go through the standard logging
6698
framework, so that they can more easily be redirected by
6699
libraries.
6700
6701
6702
6703
bzr-0.0.6 2005-08-18
6704
--------------------
6705
6706
NEW FEATURES:
6707
6708
* Python plugins, automatically loaded from the directories on
6709
``BZR_PLUGIN_PATH`` or ``~/.bzr.conf/plugins`` by default.
6710
6711
* New 'bzr mkdir' command.
6712
6713
* Commit mesage is fetched from an editor if not given on the
6714
command line; patch from Torsten Marek.
6715
6716
* ``bzr log -m FOO`` displays commits whose message matches regexp
6717
FOO.
6718
6719
* ``bzr add`` with no arguments adds everything under the current directory.
6720
6721
* ``bzr mv`` does move or rename depending on its arguments, like
6722
the Unix command.
6723
6724
* ``bzr missing`` command shows a summary of the differences
6725
between two trees. (Merged from John Arbash-Meinel.)
6726
6727
* An email address for commits to a particular tree can be
6728
specified by putting it into .bzr/email within a branch. (Based
6729
on a patch from Heikki Paajanen.)
6730
6731
6732
ENHANCEMENTS:
6733
6734
* Faster working tree operations.
6735
6736
6737
CHANGES:
6738
6739
* 3rd-party modules shipped with bzr are copied within the bzrlib
6740
python package, so that they can be installed by the setup
6741
script without clashing with anything already existing on the
6742
system. (Contributed by Gustavo Niemeyer.)
6743
6744
* Moved plugins directory to bzrlib/, so that there's a standard
6745
plugin directory which is not only installed with bzr itself but
6746
is also available when using bzr from the development tree.
6747
``BZR_PLUGIN_PATH`` and ``DEFAULT_PLUGIN_PATH`` are then added to the
6748
standard plugins directory.
6749
6750
* When exporting to a tarball with ``bzr export --format tgz``, put
6751
everything under a top directory rather than dumping it into the
6752
current directory. This can be overridden with the ``--root``
6753
option. Patch from William Dodé and John Meinel.
6754
6755
* New ``bzr upgrade`` command to upgrade the format of a branch,
6756
replacing ``bzr check --update``.
6757
6758
* Files within store directories are no longer marked readonly on
6759
disk.
6760
6761
* Changed ``bzr log`` output to a more compact form suggested by
6762
John A Meinel. Old format is available with the ``--long`` or
6763
``-l`` option, patched by William Dodé.
6764
6765
* By default the commit command refuses to record a revision with
6766
no changes unless the ``--unchanged`` option is given.
6767
6768
* The ``--no-plugins``, ``--profile`` and ``--builtin`` command
6769
line options must come before the command name because they
6770
affect what commands are available; all other options must come
6771
after the command name because their interpretation depends on
6772
it.
6773
6774
* ``branch`` and ``clone`` added as aliases for ``branch``.
6775
6776
* Default log format is back to the long format; the compact one
6777
is available with ``--short``.
6778
6779
6780
BUG FIXES:
6781
6782
* Fix bugs in committing only selected files or within a subdirectory.
6783
6784
6785
bzr-0.0.5 2005-06-15
6786
---------------------
6787
6788
CHANGES:
6789
6790
* ``bzr`` with no command now shows help rather than giving an
6791
error. Suggested by Michael Ellerman.
6792
6793
* ``bzr status`` output format changed, because svn-style output
6794
doesn't really match the model of bzr. Now files are grouped by
6795
status and can be shown with their IDs. ``bzr status --all``
6796
shows all versioned files and unknown files but not ignored files.
6797
6798
* ``bzr log`` runs from most-recent to least-recent, the reverse
6799
of the previous order. The previous behaviour can be obtained
6800
with the ``--forward`` option.
6801
6802
* ``bzr inventory`` by default shows only filenames, and also ids
6803
if ``--show-ids`` is given, in which case the id is the second
6804
field.
6805
6806
6807
ENHANCEMENTS:
6808
6809
* New 'bzr whoami --email' option shows only the email component
6810
of the user identification, from Jo Vermeulen.
6811
6812
* New ``bzr ignore PATTERN`` command.
6813
6814
* Nicer error message for broken pipe, interrupt and similar
6815
conditions that don't indicate an internal error.
6816
6817
* Add ``.*.sw[nop] .git .*.tmp *,v`` to default ignore patterns.
6818
6819
* Per-branch locks keyed on ``.bzr/branch-lock``, available in
6820
either read or write mode.
6821
6822
* New option ``bzr log --show-ids`` shows revision and file ids.
6823
6824
* New usage ``bzr log FILENAME`` shows only revisions that
6825
affected that file.
6826
6827
* Changed format for describing changes in ``bzr log -v``.
6828
6829
* New option ``bzr commit --file`` to take a message from a file,
6830
suggested by LarstiQ.
6831
6832
* New syntax ``bzr status [FILE...]`` contributed by Bartosz
6833
Oler. File may be in a branch other than the working directory.
6834
6835
* ``bzr log`` and ``bzr root`` can be given an http URL instead of
6836
a filename.
6837
6838
* Commands can now be defined by external programs or scripts
6839
in a directory on $BZRPATH.
6840
6841
* New "stat cache" avoids reading the contents of files if they
6842
haven't changed since the previous time.
6843
6844
* If the Python interpreter is too old, try to find a better one
6845
or give an error. Based on a patch from Fredrik Lundh.
6846
6847
* New optional parameter ``bzr info [BRANCH]``.
6848
6849
* New form ``bzr commit SELECTED`` to commit only selected files.
6850
6851
* New form ``bzr log -r FROM:TO`` shows changes in selected
6852
range; contributed by John A Meinel.
6853
6854
* New option ``bzr diff --diff-options 'OPTS'`` allows passing
6855
options through to an external GNU diff.
6856
6857
* New option ``bzr add --no-recurse`` to add a directory but not
6858
their contents.
6859
6860
* ``bzr --version`` now shows more information if bzr is being run
6861
from a branch.
6862
6863
6864
BUG FIXES:
6865
6866
* Fixed diff format so that added and removed files will be
6867
handled properly by patch. Fix from Lalo Martins.
6868
6869
* Various fixes for files whose names contain spaces or other
6870
metacharacters.
6871
6872
6873
TESTING:
6874
6875
* Converted black-box test suites from Bourne shell into Python;
6876
now run using ``./testbzr``. Various structural improvements to
6877
the tests.
6878
6879
* testbzr by default runs the version of bzr found in the same
6880
directory as the tests, or the one given as the first parameter.
6881
6882
* testbzr also runs the internal tests, so the only command
6883
required to check is just ``./testbzr``.
6884
6885
* testbzr requires python2.4, but can be used to test bzr running
6886
under a different version.
6887
6888
* Tests added for many other changes in this release.
6889
6890
6891
INTERNAL:
6892
6893
* Included ElementTree library upgraded to 1.2.6 by Fredrik Lundh.
6894
6895
* Refactor command functions into Command objects based on HCT by
6896
Scott James Remnant.
6897
6898
* Better help messages for many commands.
6899
6900
* Expose ``bzrlib.open_tracefile()`` to start the tracefile; until
6901
this is called trace messages are just discarded.
6902
6903
* New internal function ``find_touching_revisions()`` and hidden
6904
command touching-revisions trace the changes to a given file.
6905
6906
* Simpler and faster ``compare_inventories()`` function.
6907
6908
* ``bzrlib.open_tracefile()`` takes a tracefilename parameter.
6909
6910
* New AtomicFile class.
6911
6912
* New developer commands ``added``, ``modified``.
6913
6914
6915
PORTABILITY:
6916
6917
* Cope on Windows on python2.3 by using the weaker random seed.
6918
2.4 is now only recommended.
6919
6920
6921
bzr-0.0.4 2005-04-22
6922
---------------------
6923
6924
ENHANCEMENTS:
6925
6926
* 'bzr diff' optionally takes a list of files to diff. Still a bit
6927
basic. Patch from QuantumG.
6928
6929
* More default ignore patterns.
6930
6931
* New 'bzr log --verbose' shows a list of files changed in the
6932
changeset. Patch from Sebastian Cote.
6933
6934
* Roll over ~/.bzr.log if it gets too large.
6935
6936
* Command abbreviations 'ci', 'st', 'stat', '?' based on a patch
6937
by Jason Diamon.
6938
6939
* New 'bzr help commands' based on a patch from Denys Duchier.
6940
6941
6942
CHANGES:
6943
6944
* User email is determined by looking at $BZREMAIL or ~/.bzr.email
6945
or $EMAIL. All are decoded by the locale preferred encoding.
6946
If none of these are present user@hostname is used. The host's
6947
fully-qualified name is not used because that tends to fail when
6948
there are DNS problems.
6949
6950
* New 'bzr whoami' command instead of username user-email.
6951
6952
6953
BUG FIXES:
6954
6955
* Make commit safe for hardlinked bzr trees.
6956
6957
* Some Unicode/locale fixes.
6958
6959
* Partial workaround for ``difflib.unified_diff`` not handling
6960
trailing newlines properly.
6961
6962
6963
INTERNAL:
6964
6965
* Allow docstrings for help to be in PEP0257 format. Patch from
6966
Matt Brubeck.
6967
6968
