IN DEVELOPMENT
8
--------------
9
10
CHANGES:
11
12
* ``bzr log file`` has been changed. It now uses a different method
13
for determining which revisions to show as merging the changes to
14
the file. It now only shows revisions which merged the change
15
towards your mainline. This simplifies the output, makes it faster,
16
and reduces memory consumption. (John Arbash Meinel)
17
18
* ``bzr+http//`` will now optionally load plugins and write logs on the
19
server. (Marius Kruger)
20
21
FEATURES
22
23
IMPROVEMENTS:
24
25
* ``bzr annotate`` will now include uncommitted changes from the local
26
working tree by default. Such uncommitted changes are given the
27
revision number they would get if a commit was done, followed with a
28
? to indicate that its not actually known. (Robert Collins, #3439)
29
30
* ``bzr branch`` now accepts a ``--standalone`` option, which creates a
31
standalone branch regardless of the presence of shared repositories.
32
(Daniel Watkins)
33
34
* ``bzr push`` is faster in the case there are no new revisions to
35
push. It is also faster if there are no tags in the local branch.
36
(Andrew Bennetts)
37
38
* File changes during a commit will update the tree stat cache.
39
(Robert Collins)
40
41
* Location aliases can now accept a trailing path. (Micheal Hudson)
42
43
* New hooks ``Lock.hooks`` when LockDirs are acquired and released.
44
(Robert Collins, MartinPool)
45
46
* Switching in heavyweight checkouts uses the master branch's context, not
47
the checkout's context. (Adrian Wilkins)
48
49
* ``status`` on large trees is now faster, due to optimisations in the
50
walkdirs code. Of particular note, the walkdirs code now performs
51
a temporary ``chdir()`` while reading a single directory; if your
52
platform has non thread-local current working directories (and is
53
not windows which has its own implementation), this may introduce a
54
race condition during concurrent uses of bzrlib. The bzrlib CLI
55
will not encounter this as it is single threaded for working tree
56
operations. (Robert Collins)
57
58
* The C extensions now build on python 2.4 (Robert Collins, #271939)
59
60
BUG FIXES:
61
62
* Branching from a shared repository on a smart server into a new
63
repository now preserves the repository format.
64
(Andrew Bennetts, #269214)
65
66
* ``bzr log`` now accepts a ``--change`` option.
67
(Vincent Ladeuil, #248427)
68
69
* ``bzr missing`` now accepts an ``--include-merges`` option.
70
(Vincent Ladeuil, #233817)
71
72
* Don't try to filter (internally) '.bzr' from the files to be deleted if
73
it's not there.
74
(Vincent Ladeuil, #272648)
75
76
* Fix '_in_buffer' AttributeError when using the -Dhpss debug flag.
77
(Andrew Bennetts)
78
79
* Fix TooManyConcurrentRequests errors caused by a connection failure
80
when doing ``bzr pull`` or ``bzr merge`` from a ``bzr+ssh`` URL.
81
(Andrew Bennetts, #246233)
82
83
* Fixed ``bzr st -r branch:PATH_TO_BRANCH`` where the other branch
84
is in a different repository than the current one.
85
(Lukáš Lalinský, #144421)
86
87
* Make the first line of the manpage preamble a comment again.
88
(David Futcher, #242106)
89
90
* The autopacking logic will now always create a single new pack from
91
all of the content which it deems is worth moving. This avoids the
92
'repack a single pack' bug and should result in better packing
93
overall. (John Arbash Meinel, #242510, #172644)
94
95
DOCUMENTATION:
96
97
* Explain revision/range identifiers. (Daniel Clemente)
98
99
API CHANGES:
100
101
* ``CommitBuilder.record_entry_contents`` returns one more element in
102
its result tuple - an optional file system hash for the hash cache
103
to use. (Robert Collins)
104
105
* ``dirstate.DirState.update_entry`` will now only calculate the sha1
106
of a file if it is likely to be needed in determining the output
107
of iter_changes. (Robert Collins)
108
109
TESTING:
110
111
* ``bzrlib.tests.repository_implementations`` has been renamed to
112
``bzrlib.tests.per_repository`` so that we have a common structure
113
(and it is shorter). (John Arbash Meinel, #239343)
114
115
* ``LocalTransport.abspath()`` now returns a drive letter if the
116
transport has one, fixing numerous tests on Windows.
117
(Mark Hammond)
118
119
* The full test suite is passing again on OSX.
120
(Guillermo Gonzalez, Vincent Ladeuil)
121
122
* PreviewTree is now tested via intertree_implementations.
123
(Aaron Bentley)
124
125
INTERNALS:
126
127
* A new hook, ``Branch.open``, has been added, which is called when
128
branch objects are opened. (Robert Collins)
129
130
* ``bzrlib.osutils._walkdirs_utf8`` has been refactored into common
131
tree walking, and modular directory listing code to aid future
132
performance optimisations and refactoring. (Robert Collins)
133
134
* New method ``RevisionSpec.as_tree`` for representing the revision
135
specifier as a revision tree object. (Lukáš Lalinský)
136
137
* New race-free method on MutableTree ``get_file_with_stat`` for use
138
when generating stat cache results. (Robert Collins)
139
140
* New win32utils.get_local_appdata_location() provides access to a local
141
directory for storing data. (Mark Hammond)
142
143
144
bzr 1.7.1rc1 2008-09-24
145
-----------------------
146
147
This release just includes an update to how the merge algorithm handles
148
file paths when we encounter complex history.
149
150
FEATURES:
151
152
* If we encounter a criss-cross in history, use information from
153
direct Least Common Ancestors to resolve inventory shape (locations
154
of files, adds, deletes, etc). This is similar in concept to using
155
``--lca`` for merging file texts, only applied to paths.
156
(John Arbash Meinel)
157
158
159
bzr 1.7 2008-09-23
160
------------------
161
162
This release includes many bug fixes and a few performance and feature
163
improvements. ``bzr rm`` will now scan for missing files and remove them,
164
like how ``bzr add`` scans for unknown files and adds them. A bit more
165
polish has been applied to the stacking code. The b-tree indexing code has
166
been brought in, with an eye on using it in a future repository format.
167
There are only minor installer changes since bzr-1.7rc2.
168
169
FEATURES
170
171
* Some small updates to the win32 installer. Include localization
172
files found in plugins, and include the builtin distutils as part of
173
packaging qbzr. (Mark Hammond)
174
175
176
bzr 1.7rc2 2008-09-17
177
---------------------
178
179
A few bug fixes from 1.7rc1. The biggest change is a new
180
``RemoteBranch.get_stacked_on_url`` rpc. This allows clients that are
181
trying to access a Stacked branch over the smart protocol, to properly
182
connect to the stacked-on location.
183
184
BUG FIXES:
185
186
* Branching from a shared repository on a smart server into a new
187
repository now preserves the repository format.
188
(Andrew Bennetts, #269214)
189
190
* Branching from a stacked branch via ``bzr+ssh`` can properly connect
191
to the stacked-on branch. (Martin Pool, #261315)
192
193
* ``bzr init`` no longer re-opens the BzrDir multiple times.
194
(Vincent Ladeuil)
195
196
* Fix '_in_buffer' AttributeError when using the -Dhpss debug flag.
197
(Andrew Bennetts)

200
bzr 1.7rc1 2008-09-09
201
---------------------
202
203
This release candidate for bzr 1.7 has several bug fixes and a few
204
performance and feature improvements. ``bzr rm`` will now scan for
205
missing files and remove them, like how ``bzr add`` scans for unknown
206
files and adds them. A bit more polish has been applied to the stacking
207
code. The b-tree indexing code has been brought in, with an eye on using
208
it in a future repository format.
209
210
211
CHANGES:
212
213
* ``bzr export`` can now export a subdirectory of a project.
214
(Robert Collins)
215
216
* ``bzr remove-tree`` will now refuse to remove a tree with uncommitted
217
changes, unless the ``--force`` option is specified.
218
(Lukáš Lalinský, #74101)
219
220
* ``bzr rm`` will now scan for files that are missing and remove just
221
them automatically, much as ``bzr add`` scans for new files that
222
are not ignored and adds them automatically. (Robert Collins)
223
224
FEATURES
225
226
* Support for GSSAPI authentication when using FTP as documented in
227
RFC2228. (Jelmer Vernooij, #49623)
228
229
* Add support for IPv6 in the smart server. (Jelmer Vernooij, #165014)
230
231
IMPROVEMENTS:
232
233
* A url like ``log+file:///tmp`` will log all access to that Transport
234
to ``.bzr.log``, which may help in debugging or profiling.
235
(Martin Pool)
236
237
* ``bzr branch`` and ``bzr push`` use the default stacking policy if the
238
branch format supports it. (Aaron Bentley)
239
240
* ``bzr init`` and ``bzr init-repo`` will now print out the same as
241
``bzr info`` if it completed successfully.
242
(Marius Kruger)
243
244
* ``bzr uncommit`` logs the old tip revision id, and displays how to
245
restore the branch to that tip using ``bzr pull``. This allows you
246
to recover if you realize you uncommitted the wrong thing.
247
(John Arbash Meinel)
248
249
* Fix problems in accessing stacked repositories over ``bzr://``.
250
(Martin Pool, #261315)
251
252
* ``SFTPTransport.readv()`` was accidentally using ``list += string``,
253
which 'works', but adds each character separately to the list,
254
rather than using ``list.append(string)``. Fixing this makes the
255
SFTP transport a little bit faster (~20%) and use a bit less memory.
256
(John Arbash Meinel)
257
258
* When reading index files, if we happen to read the whole file in a
259
single request treat it as a ``_buffer_all`` request. This happens
260
most often on small indexes over remote transports, where we default
261
to reading 64kB. It saves a round trip for each small index during
262
fetch operations. Also, if we have read more than 50% of an index
263
file, trigger a ``_buffer_all`` on the next request. This works
264
around some inefficiencies because reads don't fall neatly on page
265
boundaries, so we would ignore those bytes, but request them again
266
later. This could trigger a total read size of more than the whole
267
file. (John Arbash Meinel)
268
269
BUG FIXES:
270
271
* ``bzr rm`` is now aliased to ``bzr del`` for the convenience of svn
272
users. (Robert Collins, #205416)
273
274
* Catch the infamous "select/poll returned error" which occurs when
275
pycurl try to send a body request to an HTTP/1.0 server which has
276
already refused to handle the request. (Vincent Ladeuil, #225020)
277
278
* Fix ``ObjectNotLocked`` errors when using various commands
279
(including ``bzr cat`` and ``bzr annotate``) in combination with a
280
smart server URL. (Andrew Bennetts, #237067)
281
282
* ``FTPTransport.stat()`` would return ``0000`` as the permission bits
283
for the containing ``.bzr/`` directory (it does not implement
284
permissions). This would cause us to set all subdirectories to
285
``0700`` and files to ``0600`` rather than leaving them unmodified.
286
Now we ignore ``0000`` as the permissions and assume they are
287
invalid. (John Arbash Meinel, #259855)
288
289
* Merging from a previously joined branch will no longer cause
290
a traceback. (Jelmer Vernooij, #203376)
291
292
* Pack operations on windows network shares will work even with large
293
files. (Robert Collins, #255656)
294
295
* Running ``bzr st PATH_TO_TREE`` will no longer suppress merge
296
status. Status is also about 7% faster on mozilla sized trees
297
when the path to the root of the tree has been given. Users of
298
the internal ``show_tree_status`` function should be aware that
299
the show_pending flag is now authoritative for showing pending
300
merges, as it was originally. (Robert Collins, #225204)
301
302
* Set valid default _param_name for Option so that ListOption can embed
303
'-' in names. (Vincent Ladeuil, #263249)
304
305
* Show proper error rather than traceback when an unknown revision
306
id is specified to ``bzr cat-revision``. (Jelmer Vernooij, #175569)
307
308
* Trailing text in the dirstate file could cause the C dirstate parser
309
to try to allocate an invalid amount of memory. We now properly
310
check and test for parsing a dirstate with invalid trailing data.
311
(John Arbash Meinel, #186014)
312
313
* Unexpected error responses from a smart server no longer cause the
314
client to traceback. (Andrew Bennetts, #263527)
315
316
* Use a Windows api function to get a Unicode host name, rather than
317
assuming the host name is ascii.
318
(Mark Hammond, John Arbash Meinel, #256550)
319
320
* ``WorkingTree4`` trees will now correctly report missing-and-new
321
paths in the output of ``iter_changes``. (Robert Collins)
322
323
DOCUMENTATION:
324
325
* Updated developer documentation. (Martin Pool)
326
327
API CHANGES:
328
329
* Exporters now take 4 parameters. (Robert Collins)
330
331
* ``Tree.iter_changes`` will now return False for the content change
332
field when a file is missing in the basis tree and not present in
333
the target tree. Previously it returned True unconditionally.
334
(Robert Collins)
335
336
* The deprecated ``Branch.abspath`` and unimplemented
337
``Branch.rename_one`` and ``Branch.move`` were removed. (Jelmer Vernooij)
338
339
* BzrDir.clone_on_transport implementations must now accept a stacked_on
340
parameter. (Aaron Bentley)
341
342
* BzrDir.cloning_metadir implementations must now take a require_stacking
343
parameter. (Aaron Bentley)
344
345
TESTING:
346
347
* ``addCleanup`` now takes ``*arguments`` and ``**keyword_arguments``
348
which are then passed to the cleanup callable as it is run. In
349
addition, addCleanup no longer requires that the callables passed to
350
it be unique. (Jonathan Lange)
351
352
* Fix some tests that fail on Windows because files are deleted while
353
still in use.
354
(Mark Hammond)
355
356
* ``selftest``'s ``--starting-with`` option can now use predefined
357
prefixes so that one can say ``bzr selftest -s bp.loom`` instead of
358
``bzr selftest -s bzrlib.plugins.loom``. (Vincent Ladeuil)
359
360
* ``selftest``'s ``--starting-with`` option now accepts multiple values.
361
(Vincent Ladeuil)
362
363
INTERNALS:
364
365
* A new plugin interface, ``bzrlib.log.log_adapters``, has been added.
366
This allows dynamic log output filtering by plugins.
367
(Robert Collins)
368
369
* ``bzrlib.btree_index`` is now available, providing a b-tree index
370
layer. The design is memory conservative (limited memory cache),
371
faster to seek (approx 100 nodes per page, gives 100-way fan out),
372
and stores compressed pages allowing more keys per page.
373
(Robert Collins, John Arbash Meinel)
374
375
* ``bzrlib.diff.DiffTree.show_diff`` now skips changes where the kind
376
is unknown in both source and target.
377
(Robert Collins, Aaron Bentley)
378
379
* ``GraphIndexBuilder.add_node`` and ``BTreeBuilder`` have been
380
streamlined a bit. This should make creating large indexes faster.
381
(In benchmarking, it now takes less time to create a BTree index than
382
it takes to read the GraphIndex one.) (John Arbash Meinel)
383
384
* Mail clients for `bzr send` are now listed in a registry. This
385
allows plugins to add new clients by registering them with
386
``bzrlib.mail_client.mail_client_registry``. All of the built-in
387
clients now use this mechanism. (Neil Martinsen-Burrell)
388
389
390
bzr 1.6.1 2008-09-05
391
--------------------
392
393
A couple regressions were found in the 1.6 release. There was a
394
performance issue when using ``bzr+ssh`` to branch large repositories,
395
and some problems with stacking and ``rich-root`` capable repositories.
396
397
398
bzr 1.6.1rc2 2008-09-03
399
-----------------------
400
401
BUG FIXES:
402
403
* Copying between ``rich-root`` and ``rich-root-pack`` (and vice
404
versa) was accidentally using the inter-model fetcher, instead of
405
recognizing that both were 'rich root' formats.
406
(John Arbash Meinel, #264321)
407
408
409
bzr 1.6.1rc1 2008-08-29
410
-----------------------
411
412
This release fixes a few regressions found in the 1.6 client. Fetching
413
changes was using an O(N^2) buffering algorithm, so for large projects it
414
would cause memory thrashing. There is also a specific problem with the
415
``--1.6-rich-root`` format, which prevented stacking on top of
416
``--rich-root-pack`` repositories, and could allow users to accidentally
417
fetch experimental data (``-subtree``) without representing it properly.
418
The ``--1.6-rich-root`` format has been deprecated and users are
419
recommended to upgrade to ``--1.6.1-rich-root`` immediately. Also we
420
re-introduced a workaround for users who have repositories with incorrect
421
nodes (not possible if you only used official releases).
422
I should also clarify that none of this is data loss level issues, but
423
still sufficient enough to warrant an updated release.
424
425
BUG FIXES:
426
427
* ``RemoteTransport.readv()`` was being inefficient about how it
428
buffered the readv data and processed it. It would keep appending to
429
the same string (causing many copies) and then pop bytes out of the
430
start of the string (causing more copies).
431
With this patch "bzr+ssh://local" can improve dramatically,
432
especially for projects with large files.
433
(John Arbash Meinel)
434
435
* Revision texts were always meant to be stored as fulltexts. There
436
was a bug in a bzr.dev version that would accidentally create deltas
437
when copying from a Pack repo to a Knit repo. This has been fixed,
438
but to support those repositories, we know always request full texts
439
for Revision texts. (John Arbash Meinel, #261339)
440
441
* The previous ``--1.6-rich-root`` format used an incorrect xml
442
serializer, which would accidentally support fetching from a
443
repository that supported subtrees, even though the local one would
444
not. We deprecated that format, and introduced a new one that uses
445
the correct serializer ``--1.6.1-rich-root``.

bzr 1.6 2008-08-25
450
------------------
451
452
Finally, the long awaited bzr 1.6 has been released. This release includes
453
new features like Stacked Branches, improved weave merge, and an updated
454
server protocol (now on v3) which will allow for better cross version
455
compatibility. With this release we have deprecated Knit format
456
repositories, and recommend that users upgrade them, we will continue to
457
support reading and writing them for the forseeable future, but we will
458
not be tuning them for performance as pack repositories have proven to be
459
better at scaling. This will also be the first release to bundle
460
TortoiseBzr in the standalone Windows installer.
461
462
463
bzr 1.6rc5 2008-08-19
464
---------------------
465
466
BUG FIXES:
467
468
* Disable automatic detection of stacking based on a containing
469
directory of the target. It interacted badly with push, and needs a
470
bit more work to get the edges polished before it should happen
471
automatically. (John Arbash Meinel, #259275)
472
(This change was reverted when merged to bzr.dev)
473
474
475
bzr 1.6rc4 2008-08-18
476
---------------------
477
478
BUG FIXES:
479
480
* Fix a regression in knit => pack fetching. We had a logic
481
inversion, causing the fetch to insert fulltexts in random order,
482
rather than preserving deltas. (John Arbash Meinel, #256757)
483
484
485
bzr 1.6rc3 2008-08-14
486
---------------------
487
488
CHANGES:
489
490
* Disable reading ``.bzrrules`` as a per-branch rule preferences
491
file. The feature was not quite ready for a full release.
492
(Robert Collins)
493
494
IMPROVEMENTS:
495
496
* Update the windows installer to bundle TortoiseBzr and ``qbzr``
497
into the standalone installer. This will be the first official
498
windows release that installs Tortoise by default.
499
(Mark Hammond)
500
501
BUG FIXES:
502
503
* Fix a regression in ``bzr+http`` support. There was a missing
504
function (``_read_line``) that needed to be carried over from
505
``bzr+ssh`` support. (Andrew Bennetts)
506
507
* ``GraphIndex`` objects will internally read an entire index if more
508
than 1/20th of their keyspace is requested in a single operation.
509
This largely mitigates a performance regression in ``bzr log FILE``
510
and completely corrects the performance regression in ``bzr log``.
511
The regression was caused by removing an accomodation which had been
512
supporting the index format in use. A newer index format is in
513
development which is substantially faster. (Robert Collins)
514
515
516
bzr 1.6rc2 2008-08-13
517
---------------------
518
519
This release candidate has a few minor bug fixes, and some regression
520
fixes for Windows.
521
522
BUG FIXES:
523
524
* ``bzr upgrade`` on remote branches accessed via bzr:// and
525
bzr+ssh:// now works. (Andrew Bennetts)
526
527
* Change the ``get_format_description()`` strings for
528
``RepositoryFormatKnitPack5`` et al to be single line messages.
529
(Aaron Bentley)
530
531
* Fix for a regression on Win32 where we would try to call
532
``os.listdir()`` on a file and not catch the exception properly.
533
(Windows raises a different exception.) This would manifest in
534
places like ``bzr rm file`` or ``bzr switch``.
535
(Mark Hammond, John Arbash Meinel)
536
537
* ``Inventory.copy()`` was failing to set the revision property for
538
the root entry. (Jelmer Vernooij)
539
540
* sftp transport: added missing ``FileExists`` case to
541
``_translate_io_exception`` (Christophe Troestler, #123475)
542
543
* The help for ``bzr ignored`` now suggests ``bzr ls --ignored`` for
544
scripting use. (Robert Collins, #3834)
545
546
* The default ``annotate`` logic will now always assign the
547
last-modified value of a line to one of the revisions that modified
548
it, rather than a merge revision. This would happen when both sides
549
claimed to have modified the line resulting in the same text. The
550
choice is arbitrary but stable, so merges in different directions
551
will get the same results. (John Arbash Meinel, #232188)
552
553
554
bzr 1.6rc1 2008-08-06
555
---------------------
556
557
This release candidate for bzr 1.6 solidifies the new branch stacking
558
feature. Bazaar now recommends that users upgrade all knit repositories,
559
because later formats are much faster. However, we plan to continue read/write and
560
upgrade support for knit repostories for the forseeable future. Several
561
other bugs and performance issues were fixed.
562
563
CHANGES:
564
565
* Knit format repositories are deprecated and bzr will now emit
566
warnings whenever it encounters one. Use ``bzr upgrade`` to upgrade
567
knit repositories to pack format. (Andrew Bennetts)
568
569
IMPROVEMENTS:
570
571
* ``bzr check`` can now be told which elements at a location it should
572
check. (Daniel Watkins)
573
574
* Commit now supports ``--exclude`` (or ``-x``) to exclude some files
575
from the commit. (Robert Collins, #3117)
576
577
* Fetching data between repositories that have the same model but no
578
optimised fetcher will not reserialise all the revisions, increasing
579
performance. (Robert Collins, John Arbash Meinel)
580
581
* Give a more specific error when target branch is not reachable.
582
(James Westby)
583
584
* Implemented a custom ``walkdirs_utf8`` implementation for win32.
585
This uses a pyrex extension to get direct access to the
586
``FindFirstFileW`` style apis, rather than using ``listdir`` +
587
``lstat``. Shows a very strong improvement in commands like
588
``status`` and ``diff`` which have to iterate the working tree.
589
Anywhere from 2x-6x faster depending on the size of the tree (bigger
590
trees, bigger benefit.) (John Arbash Meinel)
591
592
* New registry for log properties handles and the method in
593
LongLogFormatter to display the custom properties returned by the
594
registered handlers. (Guillermo Gonzalez, #162469)
595
596
BUG FIXES:
597
598
* Add more tests that stacking does not create deltas spanning
599
physical repository boundaries.
600
(Martin Pool, #252428)
601
602
* Better message about incompatible repositories.
603
(Martin Pool, #206258)
604
605
* ``bzr branch --stacked`` ensures the destination branch format can
606
support stacking, even if the origin does not.
607
(Martin Pool)
608
609
* ``bzr export`` no longer exports ``.bzrrules``.
610
(Ian Clatworthy)
611
612
* ``bzr serve --directory=/`` now correctly allows the whole
613
filesystem to be accessed on Windows, not just the root of the drive
614
that Python is running from.
615
(Adrian Wilkins, #240910)
616
617
* Deleting directories by hand before running ``bzr rm`` will not
618
cause subsequent errors in ``bzr st`` and ``bzr commit``.
619
(Robert Collins, #150438)
620
621
* Fix a test case that was failing if encoding wasn't UTF-8.
622
(John Arbash Meinel, #247585)
623
624
* Fix "no buffer space available" error when branching with the new
625
smart server protocol to or from Windows.
626
(Andrew Bennetts, #246180)
627
628
* Fixed problem in branching from smart server.
629
(#249256, Michael Hudson, Martin Pool)
630
631
* Handle a file turning in to a directory in TreeTransform.
632
(James Westby, #248448)
633
634
API CHANGES:
635
636
* ``MutableTree.commit`` has an extra optional keywork parameter
637
``exclude`` that will be unconditionally supplied by the command
638
line UI - plugins that add tree formats may need an update.
639
(Robert Collins)
640
641
* The API minimum version for plugin compatibility has been raised to
642
1.6 - there are significant changes throughout the code base.
643
(Robert Collins)
644
645
* The generic fetch code now uses three attributes on Repository objects
646
to control fetch. The streams requested are controlled via :
647
``_fetch_order`` and ``_fetch_uses_deltas``. Setting these
648
appropriately allows different repository implementations to recieve
649
data in their optimial form. If the ``_fetch_reconcile`` is set then
650
a reconcile operation is triggered at the end of the fetch.
651
(Robert Collins)
652
653
* The ``put_on_disk`` and ``get_tar_item`` methods in
654
``InventoryEntry`` were deprecated. (Ian Clatworthy)
655
656
* ``Repository.is_shared`` doesn't take a read lock. It didn't
657
need one in the first place (nobody cached the value, and
658
``RemoteRepository`` wasn't taking one either). This saves a round
659
trip when probing Pack repositories, as they read the ``pack-names``
660
file when locked. And during probe, locking the repo isn't very
661
useful. (John Arbash Meinel)
662
663
INTERNALS:
664
665
* ``bzrlib.branchbuilder.BranchBuilder`` is now much more capable of
666
putting together a real history without having to create a full
667
WorkingTree. It is recommended that tests that are not directly
668
testing the WorkingTree use BranchBuilder instead. See
669
``BranchBuilder.build_snapshot`` or
670
``TestCaseWithMemoryTree.make_branch_builder``. (John Arbash Meinel)
671
672
* ``bzrlib.builtins.internal_tree_files`` broken into two giving a new
673
helper ``safe_relpath_files`` - used by the new ``exclude``
674
parameter to commit. (Robert Collins)
675
676
* Make it easier to introduce new WorkingTree formats.
677
(Ian Clatworthy)
678
679
* The code for exporting trees was refactored not to use the
680
deprecated ``InventoryEntry`` methods. (Ian Clatworthy)
681
682
* RuleSearchers return () instead of [] now when there are no matches.
683
(Ian Clatworthy)
684
685
686
bzr 1.6beta3 2008-07-17
687
-----------------------
688
689
This release adds a new 'stacked branches' feature allowing branches to
690
share storage without being in the same repository or on the same machine.
691
(See the user guide for more details.) It also adds a new hook, improved
692
weaves, aliases for related locations, faster bzr+ssh push, and several
693
bug fixes.
694
695
FEATURES:
696
697
* New ``pre_change_branch_tip`` hook that is called before the
698
branch tip is moved, while the branch is write-locked. See the User
699
Reference for signature details. (Andrew Bennetts)
700
701
* Rule-based preferences can now be defined for selected files in
702
selected branches, allowing commands and plugins to provide
703
custom behaviour for files matching defined patterns.
704
See ``Rule-based preferences`` (part of ``Configuring Bazaar``)
705
in the User Guide and ``bzr help rules`` for more information.
706
(Ian Clatworthy)
707
708
* Sites may suggest a branch to stack new branches on. (Aaron Bentley)
709
710
* Stacked branches are now supported. See ``bzr help branch`` and
711
``bzr help push``. Branches must be in the ``development1`` format
712
to stack, though the stacked-on branch can be of any format.
713
(Robert Collins)
714
715
IMPROVEMENTS:
716
717
* ``bzr export --format=tgz --root=NAME -`` to export a gzipped tarball
718
to stdout; also ``tar`` and ``tbz2``.
719
(Martin Pool)
720
721
* ``bzr (re)merge --weave`` will now use a standard Weave algorithm,
722
rather than the annotation-based merge it was using. It does so by
723
building up a Weave of the important texts, without needing to build
724
the full ancestry. (John Arbash Meinel, #238895)
725
726
* ``bzr send`` documents and better supports ``emacsclient`` (proper
727
escaping of mail headers and handling of the MUA Mew).
728
(Christophe Troestler)
729
730
* Remembered locations can be specified by aliases, e.g. :parent, :public,
731
:submit. (Aaron Bentley)
732
733
* The smart protocol now has improved support for setting branches'
734
revision info directly. This makes operations like push
735
faster. The new request method name is
736
``Branch.set_last_revision_ex``. (Andrew Bennetts)
737
738
BUG FIXES:
739
740
* Bazaar is now able to be a client to the web server of IIS 6 and 7.
741
The broken implementations of RFC822 in Python and RFC2046 in IIS
742
combined with boundary-line checking in Bazaar previously made this
743
impossible. (NB, IIS 5 does not suffer from this problem).
744
(Adrian Wilkins, #247585)
745
746
* ``bzr log --long`` with a ghost in your mainline now handles that
747
ghost properly. (John Arbash Meinel, #243536)
748
749
* ``check`` handles the split-up .bzr layout correctly, so no longer
750
requires a branch to be present.
751
(Daniel Watkins, #64783)
752
753
* Clearer message about how to set the PYTHONPATH if bzrlib can't be
754
loaded.
755
(Martin Pool, #205230)
756
757
* Errors about missing libraries are now shown without a traceback,
758
and with a suggestion to install the library. The full traceback is
759
still in ``.bzr.log`` and can be shown with ``-Derror``.
760
(Martin Pool, #240161)
761
762
* Fetch from a stacked branch copies all required data.
763
(Aaron Bentley, #248506)
764
765
* Handle urls such as ftp://user@host.com@www.host.com where the user
766
name contains an @.
767
(Neil Martinsen-Burrell, #228058)
768
769
* ``needs_read_lock`` and ``needs_write_lock`` now suppress an error during
770
``unlock`` if there was an error in the original function. This helps
771
most when there is a failure with a smart server action, since often the
772
connection closes and we cannot unlock.
773
(Andrew Bennetts, John Arbash Meinel, #125784)
774
775
* Obsolete hidden command ``bzr fetch`` removed.
776
(Martin Pool, #172870)
777
778
* Raise the correct exception when doing ``-rbefore:0`` or ``-c0``.
779
(John Arbash Meinel, #239933)
780
781
* You can now compare file revisions in Windows diff programs from
782
Cygwin Bazaar.
783
(Matt McClure, #209281)
784
785
* revision_history now tolerates mainline ghosts for Branch format 6.
786
(Aaron Bentley, #235055)
787
788
* Set locale from environment for third party libs.
789
(Martin von Gagern, #128496)
790
791
DOCUMENTATION:
792
793
* Added *Using stacked branches* to the User Guide.
794
(Ian Clatworthy)
795
796
* Updated developer documentation.
797
(Martin Pool)
798
799
TESTING:
800
801
* ``-Dmemory`` will cause /proc/PID/status to be catted before bzr
802
exits, allowing low-key analysis of peak memory use. (Robert Collins)
803
804
* ``TestCaseWithTransport.make_branch_and_tree`` tries harder to return
805
a tree with a ``branch`` attribute of the right format. This was
806
preventing some ``RemoteBranch`` tests from actually running with
807
``RemoteBranch`` instances. (Andrew Bennetts)
808
809
API CHANGES:
810
811
* Removed ``Repository.text_store``, ``control_store``, etc. Instead,
812
there are new attributes ``texts, inventories, revisions,
813
signatures``, each of which is a ``VersionedFiles``. See the
814
Repository docstring for more details.
815
(Robert Collins)
816
817
* ``Branch.pull`` now accepts an ``_override_hook_target`` optional
818
parameter. If you have a subclass of ``Branch`` that overrides
819
``pull`` then you should add this parameter. (Andrew Bennetts)
820
821
* ``bzrlib.check.check()`` has been deprecated in favour of the more
822
aptly-named ``bzrlib.check.check_branch()``.
823
(Daniel Watkins)
824
825
* ``Tree.print_file`` and ``Repository.print_file`` are deprecated.
826
These methods are bad APIs because they write directly to sys.stdout.
827
bzrlib does not use them internally, and there are no direct tests
828
for them. (Alexander Belchenko)
829
830
INTERNALS:
831
832
* ``cat`` command no longer uses ``Tree.print_file()`` internally.
833
(Alexander Belchenko)
834
835
* New class method ``BzrDir.open_containing_tree_branch_or_repository``
836
which eases the discovery of the tree, the branch and the repository
837
containing a given location.
838
(Daniel Watkins)
839
840
* New ``versionedfile.KeyMapper`` interface to abstract out the access to
841
underlying .knit/.kndx etc files in repositories with partitioned
842
storage. (Robert Collins)
843
844
* Obsolete developer-use command ``weave-join`` has been removed.
845
(Robert Collins)
846
847
* ``RemoteToOtherFetcher`` and ``get_data_stream_for_search`` removed,
848
to support new ``VersionedFiles`` layering.
849
(Robert Collins)
850
851
852
bzr 1.6beta2 2008-06-10
853
-----------------------
854
855
This release contains further progress towards our 1.6 goals of shallow
856
repositories, and contains a fix for some user-affecting bugs in the
857
repository layer. Building working trees during checkout and branch is
858
now faster.
859
860
BUG FIXES:
861
862
* Avoid KnitCorrupt error extracting inventories from some repositories.
863
(The data is not corrupt; an internal check is detecting a problem
864
reading from the repository.)
865
(Martin Pool, Andrew Bennetts, Robert Collins, #234748)
866
867
* ``bzr status`` was breaking if you merged the same revision twice.
868
(John Arbash Meinel, #235407)
869
870
* Fix infinite loop consuming 100% CPU when a connection is lost while
871
reading a response body via the smart protocol v1 or v2.
872
(Andrew Bennetts)
873
874
* Inserting a bundle which changes the contents of a file with no trailing
875
end of line, causing a knit snapshot in a 'knits' repository will no longer
876
cause KnitCorrupt. (Robert Collins)
877
878
* ``RemoteBranch.pull`` needs to return the ``self._real_branch``'s
879
pull result. It was instead just returning None, which breaks ``bzr
880
pull``. (John Arbash Meinel, #238149)
881
882
* Sanitize branch nick before using it as an attachment filename in
883
``bzr send``. (Lukáš Lalinský, #210218)
884
885
* Squash ``inv_entry.symlink_target`` to a plain string when
886
generating DirState details. This prevents from getting a
887
``UnicodeError`` when you have symlinks and non-ascii filenames.
888
(John Arbash Meinel, #135320)
889
890
IMPROVEMENTS:
891
892
* Added the 'alias' command to set/unset and display aliases. (Tim Penhey)
893
894
* ``added``, ``modified``, and ``unknowns`` behaviour made consistent (all three
895
now quote paths where required). Added ``--null`` option to ``added`` and
896
``modified`` (for null-separated unknowns, use ``ls --unknown --null``)
897
(Adrian Wilkins)
898
899
* Faster branching (1.09x) and lightweight checkouts (1.06x) on large trees.
900
(Ian Clatworthy, Aaron Bentley)
901
902
DOCUMENTATION:
903
904
* Added *Bazaar Zen* section to the User Guide. (Ian Clatworthy)
905
906
TESTING:
907
908
* Fix the test HTTPServer to be isolated from chdir calls made while it is
909
running, allowing it to be used in blackbox tests. (Robert Collins)
910
911
API CHANGES:
912
913
* ``WorkingTree.set_parent_(ids/trees)`` will now filter out revisions
914
which are in the ancestry of other revisions. So if you merge the same
915
tree twice, or merge an ancestor of an existing merge, it will only
916
record the newest. (If you merge a descendent, it will replace its
917
ancestor). (John Arbash Meinel, #235407)
918
919
* ``RepositoryPolicy.__init__`` now requires stack_on and stack_on_pwd,
920
through the derived classes do not. (Aaron Bentley)
921
922
INTERNALS:
923
924
* ``bzrlib.bzrdir.BzrDir.sprout`` now accepts ``stacked`` to control
925
creating stacked branches. (Robert Collins)
926
927
* Knit record serialisation is now stricter on what it will accept, to
928
guard against potential internal bugs, or broken input. (Robert Collins)
929
930
931
bzr 1.6beta1 2008-06-02
932
-----------------------
933
934
935
Commands that work on the revision history such as push, pull, missing,
936
uncommit and log are now substantially faster. This release adds a
937
translation of some of the user documentation into Spanish. (Contributions of
938
other translations would be very welcome.) Bazaar 1.6beta1 adds a new network
939
protocol which is used by default and which allows for more efficient transfers
940
and future extensions.
941
942
943
NOTES WHEN UPGRADING:
944
945
* There is a new version of the network protocol used for bzr://, bzr+ssh://
946
and bzr+http:// connections. This will allow more efficient requests and
947
responses, and more graceful fallback when a server is too old to
948
recognise a request from a more recent client. Bazaar 1.6 will
949
interoperate with 0.16 and later versions, but servers should be upgraded
950
when possible. Bazaar 1.6 no longer interoperates with 0.15 and earlier via
951
these protocols. Use alternatives like SFTP or upgrade those servers.
952
(Andrew Bennetts, #83935)
953
954
CHANGES:
955
956
* Deprecation warnings will not be suppressed when running ``bzr selftest``
957
so that developers can see if their code is using deprecated functions.
958
(John Arbash Meinel)
959
960
FEATURES:
961
962
* Adding ``-Derror`` will now display a traceback when a plugin fails to
963
load. (James Westby)
964
965
IMPROVEMENTS:
966
967
* ``bzr branch/push/pull -r XXX`` now have a helper function for finding
968
the revno of the new revision (``Graph.find_distance_to_null``). This
969
should make something like ``bzr branch -r -100`` in a shared, no-trees
970
repository much snappier. (John Arbash Meinel)
971
972
* ``bzr log --short -r X..Y`` no longer needs to access the full revision
973
history. This makes it noticeably faster when logging the last few
974
revisions. (John Arbash Meinel)
975
976
* ``bzr ls`` now accepts ``-V`` as an alias for ``--versioned``.
977
(Jerad Cramp, #165086)
978
979
* ``bzr missing`` uses the new ``Graph.find_unique_ancestors`` and
980
``Graph.find_differences`` to determine missing revisions without having
981
to search the whole ancestry. (John Arbash Meinel, #174625)
982
983
* ``bzr uncommit`` now uses partial history access, rather than always
984
extracting the full revision history for a branch. This makes it
985
resolve the appropriate revisions much faster (in testing it drops
986
uncommit from 1.5s => 0.4s). It also means ``bzr log --short`` is one
987
step closer to not using full revision history.
988
(John Arbash Meinel, #172649)
989
990
BUGFIXES:
991
992
* ``bzr merge --lca`` should handle when two revisions have no common
993
ancestor other than NULL_REVISION. (John Arbash Meinel, #235715)
994
995
* ``bzr status`` was breaking if you merged the same revision twice.
996
(John Arbash Meinel, #235407)
997
998
* ``bzr push`` with both ``--overwrite`` and ``-r NNN`` options no longer
999
fails. (Andrew Bennetts, #234229)
1000
1001
* Correctly track the base URL of a smart medium when using bzr+http://
1002
URLs, which was causing spurious "No repository present" errors with
1003
branches in shared repositories accessed over bzr+http.
1004
(Andrew Bennetts, #230550)
1005
1006
* Define ``_remote_is_at_least_1_2`` on ``SmartClientMedium`` so that all
1007
implementations have the attribute. Fixes 'PyCurlTransport' object has no
1008
attribute '_remote_is_at_least_1_2' attribute errors.
1009
(Andrew Bennetts, #220806)
1010
1011
* Failure to delete an obsolete pack file should just give a warning
1012
message, not a fatal error. It may for example fail if the file is still
1013
in use by another process.
1014
(Martin Pool)
1015
1016
* Fix MemoryError during large fetches over HTTP by limiting the amount of
1017
data we try to read per ``recv`` call. The problem was observed with
1018
Windows and a proxy, but might affect other environments as well.
1019
(Eric Holmberg, #215426)
1020
1021
* Handle old merge directives correctly in Merger.from_mergeable. Stricter
1022
get_parent_map requirements exposed a latent bug here. (Aaron Bentley)
1023
1024
* Issue a warning and ignore passwords declared in authentication.conf when
1025
used for an ssh scheme (sftp or bzr+ssh).
1026
(Vincent Ladeuil, #203186)
1027
1028
* Make both http implementations raise appropriate exceptions on 403
1029
Forbidden when POSTing smart requests.
1030
(Vincent Ladeuil, #230223)
1031
1032
* Properly *title* header names in http requests instead of capitalizing
1033
them.
1034
(Vincent Ladeuil, #229076)
1035
1036
* The "Unable to obtain lock" error message now also suggests using
1037
``bzr break-lock`` to fix it. (Martin Albisetti, #139202)
1038
1039
* Treat an encoding of '' as ascii; this can happen when bzr is run
1040
under vim on Mac OS X.
1041
(Neil Martinsen-Burrell)
1042
1043
* ``VersionedFile.make_mpdiffs()`` was raising an exception that wasn't in
1044
scope. (Daniel Fischer #235687)
1045
1046
DOCUMENTATION:
1047
1048
* Added directory structure and started translation of docs in spanish.
1049
(Martin Albisetti, Lucio Albenga)
1050
1051
* Incorporate feedback from Jelmer Vernooij and Neil Martinsen-Burrell
1052
on the plugin and integration chapters of the User Guide.
1053
(Ian Clatworthy)
1054
1055
* More Bazaar developer documentation about packaging and release process,
1056
and about use of Python reprs.
1057
(Martin Pool, Martin Albisetti)
1058
1059
* Updated Tortise strategy document. (Mark Hammond)
1060
1061
TESTING:
1062
1063
* ``bzrlib.tests.adapt_tests`` was broken and unused - it has been fixed.
1064
(Robert Collins)
1065
1066
* Fix the test HTTPServer to be isolated from chdir calls made while it is
1067
running, allowing it to be used in blackbox tests. (Robert Collins)
1068
1069
* New helper function for splitting test suites
1070
``split_suite_by_condition``. (Robert Collins)
1071
1072
INTERNALS:
1073
1074
* ``Branch.missing_revisions`` has been deprecated. Similar functionality
1075
can be obtained using ``bzrlib.missing.find_unmerged``. The api was
1076
fairly broken, and the function was unused, so we are getting rid of it.
1077
(John Arbash Meinel)
1078
1079
API CHANGES:
1080
1081
* ``Branch.abspath`` is deprecated; use the Tree or Transport
1082
instead. (Martin Pool)
1083
1084
* ``Branch.update_revisions`` now takes an optional ``Graph``
1085
object. This can be used by ``update_revisions`` when it is
1086
checking ancestry, and allows callers to prefer request to go to a
1087
local branch. (John Arbash Meinel)
1088
1089
* Branch, Repository, Tree and BzrDir should expose a Transport as an
1090
attribute if they have one, rather than having it indirectly accessible
1091
as ``.control_files._transport``. This doesn't add a requirement
1092
to support a Transport in cases where it was not needed before;
1093
it just simplifies the way it is reached. (Martin Pool)
1094
1095
* ``bzr missing --mine-only`` will return status code 0 if you have no
1096
new revisions, but the remote does. Similarly for ``--theirs-only``.
1097
The new code only checks one side, so it doesn't know if the other
1098
side has changes. This seems more accurate with the request anyway.
1099
It also changes the output to print '[This|Other] branch is up to
1100
date.' rather than displaying nothing. (John Arbash Meinel)
1101
1102
* ``LockableFiles.put_utf8``, ``put_bytes`` and ``controlfilename``
1103
are now deprecated in favor of using Transport operations.
1104
(Martin Pool)
1105
1106
* Many methods on ``VersionedFile``, ``Repository`` and in
1107
``bzrlib.revision`` deprecated before bzrlib 1.5 have been removed.
1108
(Robert Collins)
1109
1110
* ``RevisionSpec.wants_revision_history`` can be set to False for a given
1111
``RevisionSpec``. This will disable the existing behavior of passing in
1112
the full revision history to ``self._match_on``. Useful for specs that
1113
don't actually need access to the full history. (John Arbash Meinel)
1114
1115
* The constructors of ``SmartClientMedium`` and its subclasses now require a
1116
``base`` parameter. ``SmartClientMedium`` implementations now also need
1117
to provide a ``remote_path_from_transport`` method. (Andrew Bennetts)
1118
1119
* The default permissions for creating new files and directories
1120
should now be obtained from ``BzrDir._get_file_mode()`` and
1121
``_get_dir_mode()``, rather than from LockableFiles. The ``_set_file_mode``
1122
and ``_set_dir_mode`` variables on LockableFiles which were advertised
1123
as a way for plugins to control this are no longer consulted.
1124
(Martin Pool)
1125
1126
* ``VersionedFile.join`` is deprecated. This method required local
1127
instances of both versioned file objects and was thus hostile to being
1128
used for streaming from a smart server. The new get_record_stream and
1129
insert_record_stream are meant to efficiently replace this method.
1130
(Robert Collins)
1131
1132
* ``WorkingTree.set_parent_(ids/trees)`` will now filter out revisions
1133
which are in the ancestry of other revisions. So if you merge the same
1134
tree twice, or merge an ancestor of an existing merge, it will only
1135
record the newest. (If you merge a descendent, it will replace its
1136
ancestor). (John Arbash Meinel, #235407)
1137
1138
* ``WorkingTreeFormat2.stub_initialize_remote`` is now private.

1143
------------------
1144
1145
This release of Bazaar includes several updates to the documentation, and fixes
1146
to prepare for making rich root support the default format. Many bugs have been
1147
squashed, including fixes to log, bzr+ssh inter-operation with older servers.
1148
1149
CHANGES:
1150
1151
* Suppress deprecation warnings when bzrlib is a 'final' release. This way
1152
users of packaged software won't be bothered with DeprecationWarnings,
1153
but developers and testers will still see them. (John Arbash Meinel)
1154
1155
DOCUMENTATION:
1156
1157
* Incorporate feedback from Jelmer Vernooij and Neil Martinsen-Burrell

---------------------
1164
1165
NOTES WHEN UPGRADING:
1166
1167
CHANGES:
1168
1169
* Broader support of GNU Emacs mail clients. Set
1170
``mail_client=emacsclient`` in your bazaar.conf and ``send`` will pop the
1171
bundle in a mail buffer according to the value of ``mail-user-agent``
1172
variable. (Xavier Maillard)
1173
1174
FEATURES:
1175
1176
IMPROVEMENTS:
1177
1178
* Diff now handles revision specs like "branch:" and "submit:" more
1179
efficiently. (Aaron Bentley, #202928)
1180
1181
* More friendly error given when attempt to start the smart server
1182
on an address already in use. (Andrea Corbellini, #200575)
1183
1184
* Pull completes much faster when there is nothing to pull.
1185
(Aaron Bentley)
1186
1187
BUGFIXES:
1188
1189
* Authentication.conf can define sections without password.
1190
(Vincent Ladeuil, #199440)
1191
1192
* Avoid muttering every time a child update does not cause a progress bar
1193
update. (John Arbash Meinel, #213771)
1194
1195
* ``Branch.reconcile()`` is now implemented. This allows ``bzr reconcile``
1196
to fix when a Branch has a non-canonical mainline history. ``bzr check``
1197
also detects this condition. (John Arbash Meinel, #177855)
1198
1199
* ``bzr log -r ..X bzr://`` was failing, because it was getting a request
1200
for ``revision_id=None`` which was not a string.
1201
(John Arbash Meinel, #211661)
1202
1203
* ``bzr commit`` now works with Microsoft's FTP service.
1204
(Andreas Deininger)
1205
1206
* Catch definitions outside sections in authentication.conf.
1207
(Vincent Ladeuil, #217650)
1208
1209
* Conversion from non-rich-root to rich-root(-pack) updates inventory
1210
sha1s, even when bundles are used. (Aaron Bentley, #181391)
1211
1212
* Conversion from non-rich-root to rich-root(-pack) works correctly even
1213
though search keys are not topologically sorted. (Aaron Bentley)
1214
1215
* Conversion from non-rich-root to rich-root(-pack) works even when a
1216
parent revision has a different root id. (Aaron Bentley, #177874)
1217
1218
* Disable strace testing until strace is fixed (see bug #103133) and emit a
1219
warning when selftest ends to remind us of leaking tests.
1220
(Vincent Ladeuil, #226769)
1221
1222
* Fetching all revisions from a repository does not cause pack collisions.
1223
(Robert Collins, Aaron Bentley, #212908)
1224
1225
* Fix error about "attempt to add line-delta in non-delta knit".
1226
(Andrew Bennetts, #217701)
1227
1228
* Pushing a branch in "dirstate" format (Branch5) over bzr+ssh would break
1229
if the remote server was < version 1.2. This was due to a bug in the
1230
RemoteRepository.get_parent_map() fallback code.
1231
(John Arbash Meinel, #214894)
1232
1233
* Remove leftover code in ``bzr_branch`` that inappropriately creates
1234
a ``branch-name`` file in the branch control directory.
1235
(Martin Pool)
1236
1237
* Set SO_REUSEADDR on server sockets of ``bzr serve`` to avoid problems
1238
rebinding the socket when starting the server a second time.
1239
(John Arbash Meinel, Martin Pool, #164288)
1240
1241
* Severe performance degradation in fetching from knit repositories to
1242
knits and packs due to parsing the entire revisions.kndx on every graph
1243
walk iteration fixed by using the Repository.get_graph API. There was
1244
another regression in knit => knit fetching which re-read the index for
1245
every revision each side had in common.
1246
(Robert Collins, John Arbash Meinel)
1247
1248
* When logging the changes to a particular file, there was a bug if there
1249
were ghosts in the revision ancestry. (John Arbash Meinel, #209948)
1250
1251
* xs4all's ftp server returns a temporary error when trying to list an
1252
empty directory, rather than returning an empty list. Adding a
1253
workaround so that we don't get spurious failures.
1254
(John Arbash Meinel, #215522)
1255
1256
DOCUMENTATION:
1257
1258
* Expanded the User Guide to include new chapters on popular plugins and
1259
integrating Bazaar into your environment. The *Best practices* chapter
1260
was renamed to *Miscellaneous topics* as suggested by community
1261
feedback as well. (Ian Clatworthy)
1262
1263
* Document outlining strategies for TortoiseBzr. (Mark Hammond)
1264
1265
* Improved the documentation on hooks. (Ian Clatworthy)
1266
1267
* Update authentication docs regarding ssh agents.
1268
(Vincent Ladeuil, #183705)
1269
1270
TESTING:
1271
1272
* Add ``thread_name_suffix`` parameter to SmartTCPServer_for_testing, to
1273
make it easy to identify which test spawned a thread with an unhandled
1274
exception. (Andrew Bennetts)
1275
1276
* New ``--debugflag``/``-E`` option to ``bzr selftest`` for setting
1277
options for debugging tests, these are complementary to the the -D
1278
options. The ``-Dselftest_debug`` global option has been replaced by the
1279
``-E=allow_debug`` option for selftest. (Andrew Bennetts)
1280
1281
* Parameterised test ids are preserved correctly to aid diagnosis of test
1282
failures. (Robert Collins, Andrew Bennetts)
1283
1284
* selftest now accepts --starting-with <id> to load only the tests whose id
1285
starts with the one specified. This greatly speeds up running the test
1286
suite on a limited set of tests and can be used to run the tests for a
1287
single module, a single class or even a single test. (Vincent Ladeuil)
1288
1289
* The test suite modules have been modified to define load_tests() instead
1290
of test_suite(). That speeds up selective loading (via --load-list)
1291
significantly and provides many examples on how to migrate (grep for
1292
load_tests). (Vincent Ladeuil)
1293
1294
INTERNALS:
1295
1296
* ``Hooks.install_hook`` is now deprecated in favour of
1297
``Hooks.install_named_hook`` which adds a required ``name`` parameter, to
1298
avoid having to call ``Hooks.name_hook``. (Daniel Watkins)
1299
1300
* Implement xml8 serializer. (Aaron Bentley)
1301
1302
* New form ``@deprecated_method(deprecated_in(1, 5, 0))`` for making
1303
deprecation wrappers. (Martin Pool)
1304
1305
* ``Repository.revision_parents`` is now deprecated in favour of
1306
``Repository.get_parent_map([revid])[revid]``. (Jelmer Vernooij)
1307
1308
* The Python ``assert`` statement is no longer used in Bazaar source, and
1309
a test checks this. (Martin Pool)
1310
1311
API CHANGES:
1312
1313
* ``bzrlib.status.show_pending_merges`` requires the repository to be
1314
locked by the caller. Callers should have been doing it anyway, but it
1315
will now raise an exception if they do not. (John Arbash Meinel)
1316
1317
* Repository.get_data_stream, Repository.get_data_stream_for_search(),
1318
Repository.get_deltas_for_revsions(), Repository.revision_trees(),
1319
Repository.item_keys_introduced_by() no longer take read locks.
1320
(Aaron Bentley)
1321
1322
* ``LockableFiles.get_utf8`` and ``.get`` are deprecated, as a start
1323
towards removing LockableFiles and ``.control_files`` entirely.
1324
(Martin Pool)
1325
1326
* Methods deprecated prior to 1.1 have been removed.

1331
------------------
1332
1333
This release of Bazaar includes handy improvements to the speed of log and
1334
status, new options for several commands, improved documentation, and better
1335
hooks, including initial code for server-side hooks. A number of bugs have
1336
been fixed, particularly in interoperability between different formats or
1337
different releases of Bazaar over there network. There's been substantial
1338
internal work in both the repository and network code to enable new features
1339
and faster performance.
1340
1341
BUG FIXES:
1342
1343
* Pushing a branch in "dirstate" format (Branch5) over bzr+ssh would break

1356
(John Arbash Meinel, #211661)
1357
1358
* Fixed a bug in handling ghost revisions when logging changes in a
1359
particular file. (John Arbash Meinel, #209948)
1360
1361
* Fix error about "attempt to add line-delta in non-delta knit".
1362
(Andrew Bennetts, #205156)
1363
1364
* Fixed performance degradation in fetching from knit repositories to

CHANGES:
1376
1377
* bzr main script cannot be imported (Benjamin Peterson)
1378
1379
* On Linux bzr additionally looks for plugins in arch-independent site
1380
directory. (Toshio Kuratomi)
1381
1382
* The ``set_rh`` branch hook is now deprecated. Please migrate
1383
any plugins using this hook to use an alternative, e.g.
1384
``post_change_branch_tip``. (Ian Clatworthy)
1385
1386
* When a plugin cannot be loaded as the file path is not a valid
1387
python module name bzr will now strip a ``bzr_`` prefix from the
1388
front of the suggested name, as many plugins (e.g. bzr-svn)
1389
want to be installed without this prefix. It is a common mistake
1390
to have a folder named "bzr-svn" for that plugin, especially
1391
as this is what bzr branch lp:bzr-svn will give you. (James Westby,
1392
Andrew Cowie)
1393
1394
* UniqueIntegerBugTracker now appends bug-ids instead of joining
1395
them to the base URL. Plugins that register bug trackers may
1396
need a trailing / added to the base URL if one is not already there.
1397
(James Wesby, Andrew Cowie)

1399
FEATURES:
1400
1401
* Added start_commit hook for mutable trees. (Jelmer Vernooij, #186422)
1402
1403
* ``status`` now accepts ``--no-pending`` to show the status without
1404
listing pending merges, which speeds up the command a lot on large
1405
histories. (James Westby, #202830)
1406
1407
* New ``post_change_branch_tip`` hook that is called after the
1408
branch tip is moved but while the branch is still write-locked.
1409
See the User Reference for signature details.
1410
(Ian Clatworthy, James Henstridge)
1411
1412
* Reconfigure can convert a branch to be standalone or to use a shared
1413
repository. (Aaron Bentley)
1414
1415
IMPROVEMENTS:
1416
1417
* The smart protocol now has support for setting branches' revision info
1418
directly. This should make operations like push slightly faster, and is a
1419
step towards server-side hooks. The new request method name is
1420
``Branch.set_last_revision_info``. (Andrew Bennetts)
1421
1422
* ``bzr commit --fixes`` now recognises "gnome" as a tag by default.
1423
(James Westby, Andrew Cowie)
1424
1425
* ``bzr switch`` will attempt to find branches to switch to relative to the
1426
current branch. E.g. ``bzr switch branchname`` will look for
1427
``current_branch/../branchname``. (Robert Collins, Jelmer Vernooij,
1428
Wouter van Heyst)
1429
1430
* Diff is now more specific about execute-bit changes it describes
1431
(Chad Miller)
1432
1433
* Fetching data over HTTP is a bit faster when urllib is used. This is done
1434
by forcing it to recv 64k at a time when reading lines in HTTP headers,
1435
rather than just 1 byte at a time. (Andrew Bennetts)
1436
1437
* Log --short and --line are much faster when -r is not specified.
1438
(Aaron Bentley)
1439
1440
* Merge is faster. We no longer check a file's existence unnecessarily
1441
when merging the execute bit. (Aaron Bentley)
1442
1443
* ``bzr status`` on an explicit list of files no longer shows pending
1444
merges, making it much faster on large trees. (John Arbash Meinel)
1445
1446
* The launchpad directory service now warns the user if they have not set
1447
their launchpad login and are trying to resolve a URL using it, just
1448
in case they want to do a write operation with it. (James Westby)
1449
1450
* The smart protocol client is slightly faster, because it now only queries
1451
the server for the protocol version once per connection. Also, the HTTP
1452
transport will now automatically probe for and use a smart server if
1453
one is present. You can use the new ``nosmart+`` transport decorator
1454
to get the old behaviour. (Andrew Bennetts)
1455
1456
* The ``version`` command takes a ``--short`` option to print just the
1457
version number, for easier use in scripts. (Martin Pool)
1458
1459
* Various operations with revision specs and commands that calculate
1460
revnos and revision ids are faster. (John A. Meinel, Aaron Bentley)
1461
1462
BUGFIXES:
1463
1464
* Add ``root_client_path`` parameter to SmartWSGIApp and
1465
SmartServerRequest. This makes it possible to publish filesystem
1466
locations that don't exactly match URL paths. SmartServerRequest
1467
subclasses should use the new ``translate_client_path`` and
1468
``transport_from_client_path`` methods when dealing with paths received
1469
from a client to take this into account. (Andrew Bennetts, #124089)
1470
1471
* ``bzr mv a b`` can be now used also to rename previously renamed
1472
directories, not only files. (Lukáš Lalinský, #107967)
1473
1474
* ``bzr uncommit --local`` can now remove revisions from the local
1475
branch to be symmetric with ``bzr commit --local``.
1476
(John Arbash Meinel, #93412)
1477
1478
* Don't ask for a password if there is no real terminal.
1479
(Alexander Belchenko, #69851)
1480
1481
* Fix a bug causing a ValueError crash in ``parse_line_delta_iter`` when
1482
fetching revisions from a knit to pack repository or vice versa using
1483
bzr:// (including over http or ssh).
1484
(#208418, Andrew Bennetts, Martin Pool, Robert Collins)
1485
1486
* Fixed ``_get_line`` in ``bzrlib.smart.medium``, which was buggy. Also
1487
fixed ``_get_bytes`` in the same module to use the push back buffer.
1488
These bugs had no known impact in normal use, but were problematic for
1489
developers working on the code, and were likely to cause real bugs sooner
1490
or later. (Andrew Bennetts)
1491
1492
* Implement handling of basename parameter for DefaultMail. (James Westby)
1493
1494
* Incompatibility with Paramiko versions newer than 1.7.2 was fixed.
1495
(Andrew Bennetts, #213425)
1496
1497
* Launchpad locations (lp: URLs) can be pulled. (Aaron Bentley, #181945)
1498
1499
* Merges that add files to deleted root directories complete. They
1500
do create conflicts. (Aaron Bentley, #210092)
1501
1502
* vsftp's return ``550 RNFR command failed.`` supported.
1503
(Marcus Trautwig, #129786)
1504
1505
DOCUMENTATION:
1506
1507
* Improved documentation on send/merge relationship. (Peter Schuller)
1508
1509
* Minor fixes to the User Guide. (Matthew Fuller)
1510
1511
* Reduced the evangelism in the User Guide. (Ian Clatworthy)
1512
1513
* Added Integrating with Bazaar document for developers (Martin Albisetti)
1514
1515
API BREAKS:
1516
1517
* Attempting to pull data from a ghost aware repository (e.g. knits) into a
1518
non-ghost aware repository such as weaves will now fail if there are
1519
ghosts. (Robert Collins)
1520
1521
* ``KnitVersionedFile`` no longer accepts an ``access_mode`` parameter, and
1522
now requires the ``index`` and ``access_method`` parameters to be
1523
supplied. A compatible shim has been kept in the new function
1524
``knit.make_file_knit``. (Robert Collins)
1525
1526
* Log formatters must now provide log_revision instead of show and
1527
show_merge_revno methods. The latter had been deprecated since the 0.17
1528
release. (James Westby)
1529
1530
* ``LoopbackSFTP`` is now called ``SocketAsChannelAdapter``.
1531
(Andrew Bennetts)
1532
1533
* ``osutils.backup_file`` is removed. (Alexander Belchenko)
1534
1535
* ``Repository.get_revision_graph`` is deprecated, with no replacement
1536
method. The method was size(history) and not desirable. (Robert Collins)
1537
1538
* ``revision.revision_graph`` is deprecated, with no replacement function.
1539
The function was size(history) and not desirable. (Robert Collins)
1540
1541
* ``Transport.get_shared_medium`` is deprecated. Use
1542
``Transport.get_smart_medium`` instead. (Andrew Bennetts)
1543
1544
* ``VersionedFile`` factories now accept a get_scope parameter rather
1545
than using a call to ``transaction_finished``, allowing the removal of
1546
the fixed list of versioned files per repository. (Robert Collins)
1547
1548
* ``VersionedFile.annotate_iter`` is deprecated. While in principle this
1549
allowed lower memory use, all users of annotations wanted full file
1550
annotations, and there is no storage format suitable for incremental
1551
line-by-line annotation. (Robert Collins)
1552
1553
* ``VersionedFile.clone_text`` is deprecated. This performance optimisation
1554
is no longer used - reading the content of a file that is undergoing a
1555
file level merge to identical state on two branches is rare enough, and
1556
not expensive enough to special case. (Robert Collins)
1557
1558
* ``VersionedFile.clear_cache`` and ``enable_cache`` are deprecated.
1559
These methods added significant complexity to the ``VersionedFile``
1560
implementation, but were only used for optimising fetches from knits -
1561
which can be done from outside the knit layer, or via a caching
1562
decorator. As knits are not the default format, the complexity is no
1563
longer worth paying. (Robert Collins)
1564
1565
* ``VersionedFile.create_empty`` is removed. This method presupposed a
1566
sensible mapping to a transport for individual files, but pack backed
1567
versioned files have no such mapping. (Robert Collins)
1568
1569
* ``VersionedFile.get_graph`` is deprecated, with no replacement method.
1570
The method was size(history) and not desirable. (Robert Collins)
1571
1572
* ``VersionedFile.get_graph_with_ghosts`` is deprecated, with no
1573
replacement method. The method was size(history) and not desirable.
1574
(Robert Collins)
1575
1576
* ``VersionedFile.get_parents`` is deprecated, please use
1577
``VersionedFile.get_parent_map``. (Robert Collins)
1578
1579
* ``VersionedFile.get_sha1`` is deprecated, please use
1580
``VersionedFile.get_sha1s``. (Robert Collins)
1581
1582
* ``VersionedFile.has_ghost`` is now deprecated, as it is both expensive
1583
and unused outside of a single test. (Robert Collins)
1584
1585
* ``VersionedFile.iter_parents`` is now deprecated in favour of
1586
``get_parent_map`` which can be used to instantiate a Graph on a
1587
VersionedFile. (Robert Collins)
1588
1589
* ``VersionedFileStore`` no longer uses the transaction parameter given
1590
to most methods; amongst other things this means that the
1591
get_weave_or_empty method no longer guarantees errors on a missing weave
1592
in a readonly transaction, and no longer caches versioned file instances
1593
which reduces memory pressure (but requires more careful management by
1594
callers to preserve performance). (Robert Collins)
1595
1596
TESTING:
1597
1598
* New -Dselftest_debug flag disables clearing of the debug flags during
1599
tests. This is useful if you want to use e.g. -Dhpss to help debug a
1600
failing test. Be aware that using this feature is likely to cause
1601
spurious test failures if used with the full suite. (Andrew Bennetts)
1602
1603
* selftest --load-list now uses a new more agressive test loader that will
1604
avoid loading unneeded modules and building their tests. Plugins can use
1605
this new loader by defining a load_tests function instead of a test_suite
1606
function. (a forthcoming patch will provide many examples on how to
1607
implement this).
1608
(Vincent Ladeuil)
1609
1610
* selftest --load-list now does some sanity checks regarding duplicate test
1611
IDs and tests present in the list but not found in the actual test suite.
1612
(Vincent Ladeuil)
1613
1614
* Slightly more concise format for the selftest progress bar, so there's
1615
more space to show the test name. (Martin Pool) ::
1616
1617
[2500/10884, 1fail, 3miss in 1m29s] test_revisionnamespaces.TestRev
1618
1619
* The test suite takes much less memory to run, and is a bit faster. This
1620
is done by clearing most attributes of TestCases after running them, if
1621
they succeeded. (Andrew Bennetts)
1622
1623
INTERNALS:
1624
1625
* Added ``_build_client_protocol`` to ``_SmartClient``. (Andrew Bennetts)
1626
1627
* Added basic infrastructure for automatic plugin suggestion.
1628
(Martin Albisetti)
1629
1630
* If a ``LockableFiles`` object is not explicitly unlocked (for example
1631
because of a missing ``try/finally`` block, it will give a warning but
1632
not automatically unlock itself. (Previously they did.) This
1633
sometimes caused knock-on errors if for example the network connection
1634
had already failed, and should not be relied upon by code.
1635
(Martin Pool, #109520)
1636
1637
* ``make dist`` target to build a release tarball, and also
1638
``check-dist-tarball`` and ``dist-upload-escudero``. (Martin Pool)
1639
1640
* The ``read_response_tuple`` method of ``SmartClientRequestProtocol*``
1641
classes will now raise ``UnknownSmartMethod`` when appropriate, so that
1642
callers don't need to try distinguish unknown request errors from other
1643
errors. (Andrew Bennetts)
1644
1645
* ``set_make_working_trees`` is now implemented provided on all repository
1646
implementations (Aaron Bentley)
1647
1648
* ``VersionedFile`` now has a new method ``get_parent_map`` which, like
1649
``Graph.get_parent_map`` returns a dict of key:parents. (Robert Collins)

1661
BUG FIXES:
1662
1663
* Fix a bug causing a ValueError crash in ``parse_line_delta_iter`` when
1664
fetching revisions from a knit to pack repository or vice versa using
1665
bzr:// (including over http or ssh).

bzr 1.3 2008-03-20
1670
------------------
1671
1672
Bazaar has become part of the GNU project <http://www.gnu.org>
1673
1674
Many operations that act on history, including ``log`` and ``annotate`` are now
1675
substantially faster. Several bugs have been fixed and several new options and
1676
features have been added.
1677
1678
TESTING:
1679
1680
* Avoid spurious failure of ``TestVersion.test_version`` matching
1681
directory names.

NOTES WHEN UPGRADING:
1689
1690
* The backup directory created by ``upgrade`` is now called
1691
``backup.bzr``, not ``.bzr.backup``. (Martin Albisetti)
1692
1693
CHANGES:
1694
1695
* A new repository format 'development' has been added. This format will
1696
represent the latest 'in-progress' format that the bzr developers are
1697
interested in getting early-adopter testing and feedback on.
1698
``doc/developers/development-repo.txt`` has detailed information.
1699
(Robert Collins)
1700
1701
* BZR_LOG environment variable controls location of .bzr.log trace file.
1702
User can suppress writing messages to .bzr.log by using '/dev/null'
1703
filename (on Linux) or 'NUL' (on Windows). If BZR_LOG variable
1704
is not defined but BZR_HOME is defined then default location
1705
for .bzr.log trace file is ``$BZR_HOME/.bzr.log``.
1706
(Alexander Belchenko)
1707
1708
* ``launchpad`` builtin plugin now shipped as separate part in standalone
1709
bzr.exe, installed to ``C:\Program Files\Bazaar\plugins`` directory,
1710
and standalone installer allows user to skip installation of this plugin.
1711
(Alexander Belchenko)
1712
1713
* Restore auto-detection of plink.exe on Windows. (Dmitry Vasiliev)
1714
1715
* Version number is now shown as "1.2" or "1.2pr2", without zeroed or
1716
missing final fields. (Martin Pool)
1717
1718
FEATURES:
1719
1720
* ``branch`` and ``checkout`` can hard-link working tree files, which is
1721
faster and saves space. (Aaron Bentley)
1722
1723
* ``bzr send`` will now also look at the ``child_submit_to`` setting in
1724
the submit branch to determine the email address to send to.
1725
(Jelmer Vernooij)
1726
1727
IMPROVEMENTS:
1728
1729
* BzrBranch._lefthand_history is faster on pack repos. (Aaron Bentley)
1730
1731
* Branch6.generate_revision_history is faster. (Aaron Bentley)
1732
1733
* Directory services can now be registered, allowing special URLs to be
1734
dereferenced into real URLs. This is a generalization and cleanup of
1735
the lp: transport lookup. (Aaron Bentley)
1736
1737
* Merge directives that are automatically attached to emails have nicer
1738
filenames, based on branch-nick + revno. (Aaron Bentley)
1739
1740
* ``push`` has a ``--revision`` option, to specify what revision to push up
1741
to. (Daniel Watkins)
1742
1743
* Significantly reducing execution time and network traffic for trivial
1744
case of running ``bzr missing`` command for two identical branches.
1745
(Alexander Belchenko)
1746
1747
* Speed up operations that look at the revision graph (such as 'bzr log').
1748
``KnitPackRepositor.get_revision_graph`` uses ``Graph.iter_ancestry`` to
1749
extract the revision history. This allows filtering ghosts while
1750
stepping instead of needing to peek ahead. (John Arbash Meinel)
1751
1752
* The ``hooks`` command lists installed hooks, to assist in debugging.
1753
(Daniel Watkins)
1754
1755
* Updates to how ``annotate`` work. Should see a measurable improvement in
1756
performance and memory consumption for file with a lot of merges.
1757
Also, correctly handle when a line is introduced by both parents (it
1758
should be attributed to the first merge which notices this, and not
1759
to all subsequent merges.) (John Arbash Meinel)
1760
1761
BUGFIXES:
1762
1763
* Autopacking no longer holds the full set of inventory lines in
1764
memory while copying. For large repositories, this can amount to
1765
hundreds of MB of ram consumption.
1766
(Ian Clatworthy, John Arbash Meinel)
1767
1768
* Cherrypicking when using ``--format=merge3`` now explictly excludes
1769
BASE lines. (John Arbash Meinel, #151731)
1770
1771
* Disable plink's interactive prompt for password.
1772
(#107593, Dmitry Vasiliev)
1773
1774
* Encode command line arguments from unicode to user_encoding before
1775
invoking external mail client in `bzr send` command.
1776
(#139318, Alexander Belchenko)
1777
1778
* Fixed problem connecting to ``bzr+https://`` servers.
1779
(#198793, John Ferlito)
1780
1781
* Improved error reporting in the Launchpad plugin. (Daniel Watkins,
1782
#196618)
1783
1784
* Include quick-start-summary.svg file to python-based installer(s)
1785
for Windows. (#192924, Alexander Belchenko)
1786
1787
* lca merge now respects specified files. (Aaron Bentley)
1788
1789
* Make version-info --custom imply --all. (#195560, James Westby)
1790
1791
* ``merge --preview`` now works for merges that add or modify
1792
symlinks (James Henstridge)
1793
1794
* Redirecting the output from ``bzr merge`` (when the remembered
1795
location is used) now works. (John Arbash Meinel)
1796
1797
* setup.py script explicitly checks for Python version.
1798
(Jari Aalto, Alexander Belchenko, #200569)
1799
1800
* UnknownFormatErrors no longer refer to branches regardless of kind of
1801
unknown format. (Daniel Watkins, #173980)
1802
1803
* Upgrade bundled ConfigObj to version 4.5.2, which properly quotes #
1804
signs, among other small improvements. (Matt Nordhoff, #86838)
1805
1806
* Use correct indices when emitting LCA conflicts. This fixes IndexError
1807
errors. (Aaron Bentley, #196780)
1808
1809
DOCUMENTATION:
1810
1811
* Explained how to use ``version-info --custom`` in the User Guide.
1812
(Neil Martinsen-Burrell)
1813
1814
API BREAKS:
1815
1816
* Support for loading plugins from zip files and
1817
``bzrlib.plugin.load_from_zip()`` function are deprecated.
1818
(Alexander Belchenko)
1819
1820
TESTING:
1821
1822
* Added missing blackbox tests for ``modified`` (Adrian Wilkins)
1823
1824
* The branch interface tests were invalid for branches using rich-root
1825
repositories because the empty string is not a valid file-id.
1826
(Robert Collins)
1827
1828
INTERNALS:
1829
1830
* ``Graph.iter_ancestry`` returns the ancestry of revision ids. Similar to
1831
``Repository.get_revision_graph()`` except it includes ghosts and you can
1832
stop part-way through. (John Arbash Meinel)
1833
1834
* New module ``tools/package_mf.py`` provide custom module finder for
1835
python packages (improves standard python library's modulefinder.py)
1836
used by ``setup.py`` script while building standalone bzr.exe.
1837
(Alexander Belchenko)
1838
1839
* New remote method ``RemoteBzrDir.find_repositoryV2`` adding support for
1840
detecting external lookup support on remote repositories. This method is
1841
now attempted first when lookup up repositories, leading to an extra
1842
round trip on older bzr smart servers. (Robert Collins)
1843
1844
* Repository formats have a new supported-feature attribute
1845
``supports_external_lookups`` used to indicate repositories which support
1846
falling back to other repositories when they have partial data.
1847
(Robert Collins)
1848
1849
* ``Repository.get_revision_graph_with_ghosts`` and
1850
``bzrlib.revision.(common_ancestor,MultipleRevisionSources,common_graph)``
1851
have been deprecated. (John Arbash Meinel)
1852
1853
* ``Tree.iter_changes`` is now a public API, replacing the work-in-progress
1854
``Tree._iter_changes``. The api is now considered stable and ready for
1855
external users. (Aaron Bentley)
1856
1857
* The bzrdir format registry now accepts an ``alias`` keyword to
1858
register_metadir, used to indicate that a format name is an alias for
1859
some other format and thus should not be reported when describing the
1860
format. (Robert Collins)

NOTES WHEN UPGRADING:
1875
1876
* Fetching via the smart protocol may need to reconnect once during a fetch
1877
if the remote server is running Bazaar 1.1 or earlier, because the client
1878
attempts to use more efficient requests that confuse older servers. You
1879
may be required to re-enter a password or passphrase when this happens.
1880
This won't happen if the server is upgraded to Bazaar 1.2.
1881
(Andrew Bennetts)
1882
1883
CHANGES:
1884
1885
* Fetching via bzr+ssh will no longer fill ghosts by default (this is
1886
consistent with pack-0.92 fetching over SFTP). (Robert Collins)
1887
1888
* Formatting of ``bzr plugins`` output is changed to be more human-
1889
friendly. Full path of plugins locations will be shown only with
1890
``--verbose`` command-line option. (Alexander Belchenko)
1891
1892
* ``merge`` now prefers to use the submit branch, but will fall back to
1893
parent branch. For many users, this has no effect. But some users who
1894
pull and merge on the same branch will notice a change. This change
1895
makes it easier to work on a branch on two different machines, pulling
1896
between the machines, while merging from the upstream.
1897
``merge --remember`` can now be used to set the submit_branch.
1898
(Aaron Bentley)
1899
1900
FEATURES:
1901
1902
* ``merge --preview`` produces a diff of the changes merge would make,
1903
but does not actually perform the merge. (Aaron Bentley)
1904
1905
* New smart method ``Repository.get_parent_map`` for getting revision
1906
parent data. This returns additional parent information topologically
1907
adjacent to the requested data to reduce round trip latency impacts.
1908
(Robert Collins)
1909
1910
* New smart method, ``Repository.stream_revisions_chunked``, for fetching
1911
revision data that streams revision data via a chunked encoding. This
1912
avoids buffering large amounts of revision data on the server and on the
1913
client, and sends less data to the server to request the revisions.
1914
(Andrew Bennetts, Robert Collins, #178353)
1915
1916
* The launchpad plugin now handles lp urls of the form
1917
``lp://staging/``, ``lp://demo/``, ``lp://dev/`` to use the appropriate
1918
launchpad instance to do the resolution of the branch identities.
1919
This is primarily of use to Launchpad developers, but can also
1920
be used by other users who want to try out Launchpad as
1921
a branch location without messing up their public Launchpad
1922
account. Branches that are pushed to the staging environment
1923
have an expected lifetime of one day. (Tim Penhey)
1924
1925
IMPROVEMENTS:
1926
1927
* Creating a new branch no longer tries to read the entire revision-history
1928
unnecessarily over smart server operations. (Robert Collins)
1929
1930
* Fetching between different repository formats with compatible models now
1931
takes advantage of the smart method to stream revisions. (Andrew Bennetts)
1932
1933
* The ``--coverage`` option is now global, rather specific to ``bzr
1934
selftest``. (Andrew Bennetts)
1935
1936
* The ``register-branch`` command will now use the public url of the branch
1937
containing the current directory, if one has been set and no explicit
1938
branch is provided. (Robert Collins)
1939
1940
* Tweak the ``reannotate`` code path to optimize the 2-parent case.
1941
Speeds up ``bzr annotate`` with a pack repository by approx 3:2.
1942
(John Arbash Meinel)
1943
1944
BUGFIXES:
1945
1946
* Calculate remote path relative to the shared medium in _SmartClient. This
1947
is related to the problem in bug #124089. (Andrew Bennetts)
1948
1949
* Cleanly handle connection errors in smart protocol version two, the same
1950
way as they are handled by version one. (Andrew Bennetts)
1951
1952
* Clearer error when ``version-info --custom`` is used without
1953
``--template`` (Lukáš Lalinský)
1954
1955
* Don't raise UnavailableFeature during test setup when medusa is not
1956
available or tearDown is never called leading to nasty side effects.
1957
(#137823, Vincent Ladeuil)
1958
1959
* If a plugin's test suite cannot be loaded, for example because of a syntax
1960
error in the tests, then ``selftest`` fails, rather than just printing
1961
a warning. (Martin Pool, #189771)
1962
1963
* List possible values for BZR_SSH environment variable in env-variables
1964
help topic. (Alexander Belchenko, #181842)
1965
1966
* New methods ``push_log_file`` and ``pop_log_file`` to intercept messages:
1967
popping the log redirection now precisely restores the previous state,
1968
which makes it easier to use bzr log output from other programs.
1969
TestCaseInTempDir no longer depends on a log redirection being established
1970
by the test framework, which lets bzr tests cleanly run from a normal
1971
unittest runner.
1972
(#124153, #124849, Martin Pool, Jonathan Lange)
1973
1974
* ``pull --quiet`` is now more quiet, in particular a message is no longer
1975
printed when the remembered pull location is used. (James Westby,
1976
#185907)
1977
1978
* ``reconfigure`` can safely be interrupted while fetching.
1979
(Aaron Bentley, #179316)
1980
1981
* ``reconfigure`` preserves tags when converting to and from lightweight
1982
checkouts. (Aaron Bentley, #182040)
1983
1984
* Stop polluting /tmp when running selftest.
1985
(Vincent Ladeuil, #123623)
1986
1987
* Switch from NFKC => NFC for normalization checks. NFC allows a few
1988
more characters which should be considered valid.
1989
(John Arbash Meinel, #185458)
1990
1991
* The launchpad plugin now uses the ``edge`` xmlrpc server to avoid
1992
interacting badly with a bug on the launchpad side. (Robert Collins)
1993
1994
* Unknown hostnames when connecting to a ``bzr://`` URL no longer cause
1995
tracebacks. (Andrew Bennetts, #182849)
1996
1997
API BREAKS:
1998
1999
* Classes implementing Merge types like Merge3Merger must now accept (and
2000
honour) a do_merge flag in their constructor. (Aaron Bentley)
2001
2002
* ``Repository.add_inventory`` and ``add_revision`` now require the caller
2003
to previously take a write lock (and start a write group.)
2004
(Martin Pool)
2005
2006
TESTING:
2007
2008
* selftest now accepts --load-list <file> to load a test id list. This
2009
speeds up running the test suite on a limited set of tests.
2010
(Vincent Ladeuil)
2011
2012
INTERNALS:
2013
2014
* Add a new method ``get_result`` to graph search objects. The resulting
2015
``SearchResult`` can be used to recreate the search later, which will
2016
be useful in reducing network traffic. (Robert Collins)
2017
2018
* Use convenience function to check whether two repository handles
2019
are referring to the same repository in ``Repository.get_graph``.
2020
(Jelmer Vernooij, #187162)
2021
2022
* Fetching now passes the find_ghosts flag through to the
2023
``InterRepository.missing_revision_ids`` call consistently for all
2024
repository types. This will enable faster missing revision discovery with
2025
bzr+ssh. (Robert Collins)
2026
2027
* Fix error handling in Repository.insert_data_stream. (Lukas Lalinsky)
2028
2029
* ``InterRepository.missing_revision_ids`` is now deprecated in favour of
2030
``InterRepository.search_missing_revision_ids`` which returns a
2031
``bzrlib.graph.SearchResult`` suitable for making requests from the smart
2032
server. (Robert Collins)
2033
2034
* New error ``NoPublicBranch`` for commands that need a public branch to
2035
operate. (Robert Collins)
2036
2037
* New method ``iter_inventories`` on Repository for access to many
2038
inventories. This is primarily used by the ``revision_trees`` method, as
2039
direct access to inventories is discouraged. (Robert Collins)
2040
2041
* New method ``next_with_ghosts`` on the Graph breadth-first-search objects
2042
which will split out ghosts and present parents into two separate sets,
2043
useful for code which needs to be aware of ghosts (e.g. fetching data
2044
cares about ghosts during revision selection). (Robert Collins)
2045
2046
* Record a timestamp against each mutter to the trace file, relative to the
2047
first import of bzrlib. (Andrew Bennetts)
2048
2049
* ``Repository.get_data_stream`` is now deprecated in favour of
2050
``Repository.get_data_stream_for_search`` which allows less network
2051
traffic when requesting data streams over a smart server. (Robert Collins)
2052
2053
* ``RemoteBzrDir._get_tree_branch`` no longer triggers ``_ensure_real``,
2054
removing one round trip on many network operations. (Robert Collins)
2055
2056
* RemoteTransport's ``recommended_page_size`` method now returns 64k, like
2057
SFTPTransport and HttpTransportBase. (Andrew Bennetts)
2058
2059
* Repository has a new method ``has_revisions`` which signals the presence
2060
of many revisions by returning a set of the revisions listed which are
2061
present. This can be done by index queries without reading data for parent
2062
revision names etc. (Robert Collins)

2071
---------------------
2072
2073
CHANGES:
2074
2075
* Dotted revision numbers have been revised. Instead of growing longer with
2076
nested branches the branch number just increases. (eg instead of 1.1.1.1.1
2077
we now report 1.2.1.) This helps scale long lived branches which have many
2078
feature branches merged between them. (John Arbash Meinel)
2079
2080
* The syntax ``bzr diff branch1 branch2`` is no longer supported.
2081
Use ``bzr diff branch1 --new branch2`` instead. This change has
2082
been made to remove the ambiguity where ``branch2`` is in fact a
2083
specific file to diff within ``branch1``.
2084
2085
FEATURES:
2086
2087
* New option to use custom template-based formats in ``bzr version-info``.
2088
(Lukáš Lalinský)
2089
2090
* diff '--using' allows an external diff tool to be used for files.
2091
(Aaron Bentley)
2092
2093
* New "lca" merge-type for fast everyday merging that also supports
2094
criss-cross merges. (Aaron Bentley)
2095
2096
IMPROVEMENTS:
2097
2098
* ``annotate`` now doesn't require a working tree. (Lukáš Lalinský,
2099
#90049)
2100
2101
* ``branch`` and ``checkout`` can now use files from a working tree to
2102
to speed up the process. For checkout, this requires the new
2103
--files-from flag. (Aaron Bentley)
2104
2105
* ``bzr diff`` now sorts files in alphabetical order. (Aaron Bentley)
2106
2107
* ``bzr diff`` now works on branches without working trees. Tree-less
2108
branches can also be compared to each other and to working trees using
2109
the new diff options ``--old`` and ``--new``. Diffing between branches,
2110
with or without trees, now supports specific file filtering as well.
2111
(Ian Clatworthy, #6700)
2112
2113
* ``bzr pack`` now orders revision texts in topological order, with newest
2114
at the start of the file, promoting linear reads for ``bzr log`` and the
2115
like. This partially fixes #154129. (Robert Collins)
2116
2117
* Merge directives now fetch prerequisites from the target branch if
2118
needed. (Aaron Bentley)
2119
2120
* pycurl now handles digest authentication.
2121
(Vincent Ladeuil)
2122
2123
* ``reconfigure`` can now convert from repositories. (Aaron Bentley)
2124
2125
* ``-l`` is now a short form for ``--limit`` in ``log``. (Matt Nordhoff)
2126
2127
* ``merge`` now warns when merge directives cause cherrypicks.
2128
(Aaron Bentley)
2129
2130
* ``split`` now supported, to enable splitting large trees into smaller
2131
pieces. (Aaron Bentley)
2132
2133
BUGFIXES:
2134
2135
* Avoid AttributeError when unlocking a pack repository when an error occurs.
2136
(Martin Pool, #180208)
2137
2138
* Better handle short reads when processing multiple range requests.
2139
(Vincent Ladeuil, #179368)
2140
2141
* build_tree acceleration uses the correct path when a file has been moved.
2142
(Aaron Bentley)
2143
2144
* ``commit`` now succeeds when a checkout and its master branch share a
2145
repository. (Aaron Bentley, #177592)
2146
2147
* Fixed error reporting of unsupported timezone format in
2148
``log --timezone``. (Lukáš Lalinský, #178722)
2149
2150
* Fixed Unicode encoding error in ``ignored`` when the output is
2151
redirected to a pipe. (Lukáš Lalinský)
2152
2153
* Fix traceback when sending large response bodies over the smart protocol
2154
on Windows. (Andrew Bennetts, #115781)
2155
2156
* Fix ``urlutils.relative_url`` for the case of two ``file:///`` URLs
2157
pointed to different logical drives on Windows.
2158
(Alexander Belchenko, #90847)
2159
2160
* HTTP test servers are now compatible with the http protocol version 1.1.
2161
(Vincent Ladeuil, #175524)
2162
2163
* _KnitParentsProvider.get_parent_map now handles requests for ghosts
2164
correctly, instead of erroring or attributing incorrect parents to ghosts.
2165
(Aaron Bentley)
2166
2167
* ``merge --weave --uncommitted`` now works. (Aaron Bentley)
2168
2169
* pycurl authentication handling was broken and incomplete. Fix handling of
2170
user:pass embedded in the urls.
2171
(Vincent Ladeuil, #177643)
2172
2173
* Files inside non-directories are now handled like other conflict types.
2174
(Aaron Bentley, #177390)
2175
2176
* ``reconfigure`` is able to convert trees into lightweight checkouts.
2177
(Aaron Bentley)
2178
2179
* Reduce lockdir timeout to 0 when running ``bzr serve``. (Andrew Bennetts,
2180
#148087)
2181
2182
* Test that the old ``version_info_format`` functions still work, even
2183
though they are deprecated. (John Arbash Meinel, ShenMaq, #177872)
2184
2185
* Transform failures no longer cause ImmortalLimbo errors (Aaron Bentley,
2186
#137681)
2187
2188
* ``uncommit`` works even when the commit messages of revisions to be
2189
removed use characters not supported in the terminal encoding.
2190
(Aaron Bentley)
2191
2192
* When dumb http servers return whole files instead of the requested ranges,
2193
read the remaining bytes by chunks to avoid overflowing network buffers.
2194
(Vincent Ladeuil, #175886)
2195
2196
DOCUMENTATION:
2197
2198
* Minor tweaks made to the bug tracker integration documentation.
2199
(Ian Clatworthy)
2200
2201
* Reference material has now be moved out of the User Guide and added
2202
to the User Reference. The User Reference has gained 4 sections as
2203
a result: Authenication Settings, Configuration Settings, Conflicts
2204
and Hooks. All help topics are now dumped into text format in the
2205
doc/en/user-reference directory for those who like browsing that
2206
information in their editor. (Ian Clatworthy)
2207
2208
* *Using Bazaar with Launchpad* tutorial added. (Ian Clatworthy)
2209
2210
INTERNALS:
2211
2212
* find_* methods available for BzrDirs, Branches and WorkingTrees.

2215
* Help topics can now be loaded from files.
2216
(Ian Clatworthy, Alexander Belchenko)
2217
2218
* get_parent_map now always provides tuples as its output. (Aaron Bentley)
2219
2220
* Parent Providers should now implement ``get_parent_map`` returning a
2221
dictionary instead of ``get_parents`` returning a list.
2222
``Graph.get_parents`` is now deprecated. (John Arbash Meinel,
2223
Robert Collins)
2224
2225
* Patience Diff now supports arbitrary python objects, as long as they
2226
support ``hash()``. (John Arbash Meinel)
2227
2228
* Reduce selftest overhead to establish test names by memoization.
2229
(Vincent Ladeuil)
2230
2231
API BREAKS:
2232
2233
TESTING:
2234
2235
* Modules can now customise their tests by defining a ``load_tests``
2236
attribute. ``pydoc bzrlib.tests.TestUtil.TestLoader.loadTestsFromModule``
2237
for the documentation on this attribute. (Robert Collins)
2238
2239
* New helper function ``bzrlib.tests.condition_id_re`` which helps
2240
filter tests based on a regular expression search on the tests id.
2241
(Robert Collins)
2242
2243
* New helper function ``bzrlib.tests.condition_isinstance`` which helps
2244
filter tests based on class. (Robert Collins)
2245
2246
* New helper function ``bzrlib.tests.exclude_suite_by_condition`` which
2247
generalises the ``exclude_suite_by_re`` function. (Robert Collins)
2248
2249
* New helper function ``bzrlib.tests.filter_suite_by_condition`` which
2250
generalises the ``filter_suite_by_re`` function. (Robert Collins)
2251
2252
* New helper method ``bzrlib.tests.exclude_tests_by_re`` which gives a new
2253
TestSuite that does not contain tests from the input that matched a
2254
regular expression. (Robert Collins)
2255
2256
* New helper method ``bzrlib.tests.randomize_suite`` which returns a
2257
randomized copy of the input suite. (Robert Collins)
2258
2259
* New helper method ``bzrlib.tests.split_suite_by_re`` which splits a test
2260
suite into two according to a regular expression. (Robert Collins)
2261
2262
* Parametrize all http tests for the transport implementations, the http
2263
protocol versions (1.0 and 1.1) and the authentication schemes.
2264
(Vincent Ladeuil)
2265
2266
* The ``exclude_pattern`` and ``random_order`` parameters to the function
2267
``bzrlib.tests.filter_suite_by_re`` have been deprecated. (Robert Collins)
2268
2269
* The method ``bzrlib.tests.sort_suite_by_re`` has been deprecated. It is
2270
replaced by the new helper methods added in this release. (Robert Collins)

* Give more feedback during long http downloads by making readv deliver data
2305
as it arrives for urllib, and issue more requests for pycurl. High latency
2306
networks are better handled by urllib, the pycurl implementation give more
2307
feedback but also incur more latency.

* ``bzr commit`` now doesn't print the revision number twice. (Matt
2339
Nordhoff, #172612)
2340
2341
* New configuration option ``bugtracker_<tracker_abbrevation>_url`` to
2342
define locations of bug trackers that are not directly supported by
2343
bzr or a plugin. The URL will be treated as a template and ``{id}``
2344
placeholders will be replaced by specific bug IDs. (Lukáš Lalinský)
2345
2346
* Support logging single merge revisions with short and line log formatters.
2347
(Kent Gibson)
2348
2349
* User Guide enhanced with suggested readability improvements from
2350
Matt Revell and corrections from John Arbash Meinel. (Ian Clatworthy)
2351
2352
* Quick Start Guide renamed to Quick Start Card, moved down in
2353
the catalog, provided in pdf and png format and updated to refer
2354
to ``send`` instead of ``bundle``. (Ian Clatworthy, #165080)
2355
2356
* ``switch`` can now be used on heavyweight checkouts as well as
2357
lightweight ones. After switching a heavyweight checkout, the
2358
local branch is a mirror/cache of the new bound branch and
2359
uncommitted changes in the working tree are merged. As a safety
2360
check, if there are local commits in a checkout which have not
2361
been committed to the previously bound branch, then ``switch``
2362
fails unless the ``--force`` option is given. This option is
2363
now also required if the branch a lightweight checkout is pointing
2364
to has been moved. (Ian Clatworthy)
2365
2366
INTERNALS:
2367
2368
* New -Dhttp debug option reports http connections, requests and responses.
2369
(Vincent Ladeuil)
2370
2371
* New -Dmerge debug option, which emits merge plans for merge-type=weave.
2372
2373
BUGFIXES:
2374
2375
* Better error message when running ``bzr cat`` on a non-existant branch.
2376
(Lukáš Lalinský, #133782)
2377
2378
* Catch OSError 17 (file exists) in final phase of tree transform and show
2379
filename to user.
2380
(Alexander Belchenko, #111758)
2381
2382
* Catch ShortReadvErrors while using pycurl. Also make readv more robust by
2383
allowing multiple GET requests to be issued if too many ranges are
2384
required.
2385
(Vincent Ladeuil, #172701)
2386
2387
* Check for missing basis texts when fetching from packs to packs.
2388
(John Arbash Meinel, #165290)
2389
2390
* Fall back to showing e-mail in ``log --short/--line`` if the
2391
committer/author has only e-mail. (Lukáš Lalinský, #157026)
2392
2393
API BREAKS:
2394
2395
* Deprecate not passing a ``location`` argument to commit reporters'
2396
``started`` methods. (Matt Nordhoff)

bzr 1.0rc1 2007-11-30
2400
---------------------
2401
2402
NOTES WHEN UPGRADING:
2403
2404
* The default repository format is now ``pack-0.92``. This
2405
default is used when creating new repositories with ``init`` and
2406
``init-repo``, and when branching over bzr+ssh or bzr+hpss.
2407
(See https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/164626)
2408
2409
This format can be read and written by Bazaar 0.92 and later, and
2410
data can be transferred to and from older formats.
2411
2412
To upgrade, please reconcile your repository (``bzr reconcile``), and then
2413
upgrade (``bzr upgrade``).
2414
2415
``pack-0.92`` offers substantially better scaling and performance than the
2416
previous knits format. Some operations are slower where the code already
2417
had bad scaling characteristics under knits, the pack format makes such
2418
operations more visible as part of being more scalable overall. We will
2419
correct such operations over the coming releases and encourage the filing
2420
of bugs on any operation which you observe to be slower in a packs
2421
repository. One particular case that we do not intend to fix is pulling
2422
data from a pack repository into a knit repository over a high latency
2423
link; downgrading such data requires reinsertion of the file texts, and
2424
this is a classic space/time tradeoff. The current implementation is
2425
conservative on memory usage because we need to support converting data
2426
from any tree without problems.
2427
(Robert Collins, Martin Pool, #164476)
2428
2429
CHANGES:
2430
2431
* Disable detection of plink.exe as possible ssh vendor. Plink vendor
2432
still available if user selects it explicitly with BZR_SSH environment
2433
variable. (Alexander Belchenko, workaround for bug #107593)
2434
2435
* The pack format is now accessible as "pack-0.92", or "pack-0.92-subtree"
2436
to enable the subtree functions (for example, for bzr-svn).
2437
See http://doc.bazaar-vcs.org/latest/developer/packrepo.html
2438
(Martin Pool)
2439
2440
FEATURES:
2441
2442
* New ``authentication.conf`` file holding the password or other credentials
2443
for remote servers. This can be used for ssh, sftp, smtp and other
2444
supported transports.
2445
(Vincent Ladeuil)
2446
2447
* New rich-root and rich-root-pack formats, recording the same data about
2448
tree roots that's recorded for all other directories.
2449
(Aaron Bentley, #164639)
2450
2451
* ``pack-0.92`` repositories can now be reconciled.
2452
(Robert Collins, #154173)
2453
2454
* ``switch`` command added for changing the branch a lightweight checkout
2455
is associated with and updating the tree to reflect the latest content
2456
accordingly. This command was previously part of the BzrTools plug-in.
2457
(Ian Clatworthy, Aaron Bentley, David Allouche)
2458
2459
* ``reconfigure`` command can now convert branches, trees, or checkouts to
2460
lightweight checkouts. (Aaron Bentley)
2461
2462
PERFORMANCE:
2463
2464
* Commit updates the state of the working tree via a delta rather than
2465
supplying entirely new basis trees. For commit of a single specified file
2466
this reduces the wall clock time for commit by roughly a 30%.
2467
(Robert Collins, Martin Pool)
2468
2469
* Commit with many automatically found deleted paths no longer performs
2470
linear scanning for the children of those paths during inventory
2471
iteration. This should fix commit performance blowing out when many such
2472
paths occur during commit. (Robert Collins, #156491)
2473
2474
* Fetch with pack repositories will no longer read the entire history graph.
2475
(Robert Collins, #88319)
2476
2477
* Revert takes out an appropriate lock when reverting to a basis tree, and
2478
does not read the basis inventory twice. (Robert Collins)
2479
2480
* Diff does not require an inventory to be generated on dirstate trees.
2481
(Aaron Bentley, #149254)
2482
2483
* New annotate merge (--merge-type=weave) implementation is fast on
2484
versionedfiles withough cached annotations, e.g. pack-0.92.
2485
(Aaron Bentley)
2486
2487
IMPROVEMENTS:
2488
2489
* ``bzr merge`` now warns when it encounters a criss-cross merge.
2490
(Aaron Bentley)
2491
2492
* ``bzr send`` now doesn't require the target e-mail address to be
2493
specified on the command line if an interactive e-mail client is used.
2494
(Lukáš Lalinský)
2495
2496
* ``bzr tags`` now prints the revision number for each tag, instead of
2497
the revision id, unless --show-ids is passed. In addition, tags can be
2498
sorted chronologically instead of lexicographically with --sort=time.
2499
(Adeodato Simó, #120231)
2500
2501
* Windows standalone version of bzr is able to load system-wide plugins from
2502
"plugins" subdirectory in installation directory. In addition standalone
2503
installer write to the registry (HKLM\SOFTWARE\Bazaar) useful info
2504
about paths and bzr version. (Alexander Belchenko, #129298)

2510
* A progress bar has been added for knitpack -> knitpack fetching.
2511
(Robert Collins, #157789, #159147)
2512
2513
* Branching from a branch via smart server now preserves the repository
2514
format. (Andrew Bennetts, #164626)
2515
2516
* ``commit`` is now able to invoke an external editor in a non-ascii
2517
directory. (Daniel Watkins, #84043)
2518
2519
* Catch connection errors for ftp.
2520
(Vincent Ladeuil, #164567)
2521
2522
* ``check`` no longer reports spurious unreferenced text versions.
2523
(Robert Collins, John A Meinel, #162931, #165071)
2524
2525
* Conflicts are now resolved recursively by ``revert``.
2526
(Aaron Bentley, #102739)
2527
2528
* Detect invalid transport reuse attempts by catching invalid URLs.
2529
(Vincent Ladeuil, #161819)
2530
2531
* Deleting a file without removing it shows a correct diff, not a traceback.
2532
(Aaron Bentley)
2533
2534
* Do no use timeout in HttpServer anymore.
2535
(Vincent Ladeuil, #158972).
2536
2537
* Don't catch the exceptions related to the http pipeline status before
2538
retrying an http request or some programming errors may be masked.
2539
(Vincent Ladeuil, #160012)
2540
2541
* Fix ``bzr rm`` to not delete modified and ignored files.
2542
(Lukáš Lalinský, #172598)
2543
2544
* Fix exception when revisionspec contains merge revisons but log
2545
formatter doesn't support merge revisions. (Kent Gibson, #148908)
2546
2547
* Fix exception when ScopeReplacer is assigned to before any members have
2548
been retrieved. (Aaron Bentley)
2549
2550
* Fix multiple connections during checkout --lightweight.
2551
(Vincent Ladeuil, #159150)
2552
2553
* Fix possible error in insert_data_stream when copying between
2554
pack repositories over bzr+ssh or bzr+http.
2555
KnitVersionedFile.get_data_stream now makes sure that requested
2556
compression parents are sent before any delta hunks that depend
2557
on them.
2558
(Martin Pool, #164637)
2559
2560
* Fix typo in limiting offsets coalescing for http, leading to
2561
whole files being downloaded instead of parts.
2562
(Vincent Ladeuil, #165061)
2563
2564
* FTP server errors don't error in the error handling code.
2565
(Robert Collins, #161240)
2566
2567
* Give a clearer message when a pull fails because the source needs
2568
to be reconciled.
2569
(Martin Pool, #164443)
2570
2571
* It is clearer when a plugin cannot be loaded because of its name, and a
2572
suggestion for an acceptable name is given. (Daniel Watkins, #103023)
2573
2574
* Leave port as None in transport objects if user doesn't
2575
specify a port in urls.
2576
(vincent Ladeuil, #150860)
2577
2578
* Make sure Repository.fetch(self) is properly a no-op for all
2579
Repository implementations. (John Arbash Meinel, #158333)
2580
2581
* Mark .bzr directories as "hidden" on Windows.
2582
(Alexander Belchenko, #71147)
2583
2584
* ``merge --uncommitted`` can now operate on a single file.
2585
(Aaron Bentley, Lukáš Lalinský, #136890)
2586
2587
* Obsolete packs are now cleaned up by pack and autopack operations.
2588
(Robert Collins, #153789)
2589
2590
* Operations pulling data from a smart server where the underlying
2591
repositories are not both annotated/both unannotated will now work.
2592
(Robert Collins, #165304).
2593
2594
* Reconcile now shows progress bars. (Robert Collins, #159351)
2595
2596
* ``RemoteBranch`` was not initializing ``self._revision_id_to_revno_map``
2597
properly. (John Arbash Meinel, #162486)
2598
2599
* Removing an already-removed file reports the file does not exist. (Daniel
2600
Watkins, #152811)
2601
2602
* Rename on Windows is able to change filename case.
2603
(Alexander Belchenko, #77740)
2604
2605
* Return error instead of a traceback for ``bzr log -r0``.
2606
(Kent Gibson, #133751)
2607
2608
* Return error instead of a traceback when bzr is unable to create
2609
symlink on some platforms (e.g. on Windows).
2610
(Alexander Belchenko, workaround for #81689)
2611
2612
* Revert doesn't crash when restoring a single file from a deleted
2613
directory. (Aaron Bentley)
2614
2615
* Stderr output via logging mechanism now goes through encoded wrapper
2616
and no more uses utf-8, but terminal encoding instead. So all unicode
2617
strings now should be readable in non-utf-8 terminal.
2618
(Alexander Belchenko, #54173)
2619
2620
* The error message when ``move --after`` should be used makes how to do so
2621
clearer. (Daniel Watkins, #85237)
2622
2623
* Unicode-safe output from ``bzr info``. The output will be encoded
2624
using the terminal encoding and unrepresentable characters will be
2625
replaced by '?'. (Lukáš Lalinský, #151844)
2626
2627
* Working trees are no longer created when pushing into a local no-trees
2628
repo. (Daniel Watkins, #50582)
2629
2630
* Upgrade util/configobj to version 4.4.0.
2631
(Vincent Ladeuil, #151208).
2632
2633
* Wrap medusa ftp test server as an FTPServer feature.
2634
(Vincent Ladeuil, #157752)
2635
2636
API BREAKS:
2637
2638
* ``osutils.backup_file`` is deprecated. Actually it's not used in bzrlib
2639
during very long time. (Alexander Belchenko)
2640
2641
* The return value of
2642
``VersionedFile.iter_lines_added_or_present_in_versions`` has been
2643
changed. Previously it was an iterator of lines, now it is an iterator of
2644
(line, version_id) tuples. This change has been made to aid reconcile and
2645
fetch operations. (Robert Collins)
2646
2647
* ``bzrlib.repository.get_versioned_file_checker`` is now private.
2648
(Robert Collins)
2649
2650
* The Repository format registry default has been removed; it was previously
2651
obsoleted by the bzrdir format default, which implies a default repository
2652
format.
2653
(Martin Pool)
2654
2655
INTERNALS:
2656
2657
* Added ``ContainerSerialiser`` and ``ContainerPushParser`` to
2658
``bzrlib.pack``. These classes provide more convenient APIs for generating
2659
and parsing containers from streams rather than from files. (Andrew
2660
Bennetts)
2661
2662
* New module ``lru_cache`` providing a cache for use by tasks that need
2663
semi-random access to large amounts of data. (John A Meinel)
2664
2665
* InventoryEntry.diff is now deprecated. Please use diff.DiffTree instead.

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

3259
* Use UTF-8 encoded StringIO for log tests to avoid failures on
3260
non-ASCII committer names. (Lukáš Lalinský)
3261
3262
INTERNALS:
3263
3264
* ``bzrlib.plugin.all_plugins`` has been deprecated in favour of
3265
``bzrlib.plugin.plugins()`` which returns PlugIn objects that provide
3266
useful functionality for determining the path of a plugin, its tests, and
3267
its version information. (Robert Collins)
3268
3269
* Add the option user_encoding to the function 'show_diff_trees()'
3270
in order to move the user encoding at the UI level. (Goffredo Baroncelli)
3271
3272
* Add the function make_commit_message_template_encoded() and the function
3273
edit_commit_message_encoded() which handle encoded strings.
3274
This is done in order to mix the commit messages (which is a unicode
3275
string), and the diff which is a raw string. (Goffredo Baroncelli)
3276
3277
* CommitBuilder now defaults to using add_lines_with_ghosts, reducing
3278
overhead on non-weave repositories which don't require all parents to be
3279
present. (Robert Collins)
3280
3281
* Deprecated method ``find_previous_heads`` on
3282
``bzrlib.inventory.InventoryEntry``. This has been superseded by the use
3283
of ``parent_candidates`` and a separate heads check via the repository
3284
API. (Robert Collins)
3285
3286
* New trace function ``mutter_callsite`` will print out a subset of the
3287
stack to the log, which can be useful for gathering debug details.
3288
(Robert Collins)
3289
3290
* ``bzrlib.pack.ContainerWriter`` now tracks how many records have been
3291
added via a public attribute records_written. (Robert Collins)
3292
3293
* New method ``bzrlib.transport.Transport.get_recommended_page_size``.
3294
This provides a hint to users of transports as to the reasonable
3295
minimum data to read. In principle this can take latency and
3296
bandwidth into account on a per-connection basis, but for now it
3297
just has hard coded values based on the url. (e.g. http:// has a large
3298
page size, file:// has a small one.) (Robert Collins)
3299
3300
* New method on ``bzrlib.transport.Transport`` ``open_write_stream`` allows
3301
incremental addition of data to a file without requiring that all the
3302
data be buffered in memory. (Robert Collins)
3303
3304
* New methods on ``bzrlib.knit.KnitVersionedFile``:
3305
``get_data_stream(versions)``, ``insert_data_stream(stream)`` and
3306
``get_format_signature()``. These provide some infrastructure for
3307
efficiently streaming the knit data for a set of versions over the smart
3308
protocol.
3309
3310
* Knits with no annotation cache still produce correct annotations.
3311
(Aaron Bentley)
3312
3313
* Three new methods have been added to ``bzrlib.trace``:
3314
``set_verbosity_level``, ``get_verbosity_level`` and ``is_verbose``.
3315
``set_verbosity_level`` expects a numeric value: negative for quiet,
3316
zero for normal, positive for verbose. The size of the number can be
3317
used to determine just how quiet or verbose the application should be.
3318
The existing ``be_quiet`` and ``is_quiet`` routines have been
3319
integrated into this new scheme. (Ian Clatworthy)
3320
3321
* Options can now be delcared with a ``custom_callback`` parameter. If
3322
set, this routine is called after the option is processed. This feature
3323
is now used by the standard options ``verbose`` and ``quiet`` so that
3324
setting one implicitly resets the other. (Ian Clatworthy)
3325
3326
* Rather than declaring a new option from scratch in order to provide
3327
custom help, a centrally registered option can be decorated using the
3328
new ``bzrlib.Option.custom_help`` routine. In particular, this routine
3329
is useful when declaring better help for the ``verbose`` and ``quiet``
3330
standard options as the base definition of these is now more complex
3331
than before thanks to their use of a custom callback. (Ian Clatworthy)
3332
3333
* Tree._iter_changes(specific_file=[]) now iterates through no files,
3334
instead of iterating through all files. None is used to iterate through
3335
all files. (Aaron Bentley)
3336
3337
* WorkingTree.revert() now accepts None to revert all files. The use of
3338
[] to revert all files is deprecated. (Aaron Bentley)

-------------------
3343
3344
IMPROVEMENTS:
3345
3346
* Documentation is now organized into multiple directories with a level
3347
added for different languages or locales. Added the Mini Tutorial
3348
and Quick Start Summary (en) documents from the Wiki, improving the
3349
content and readability of the former. Formatted NEWS as Release Notes
3350
complete with a Table of Conents, one heading per release. Moved the
3351
Developer Guide into the main document catalog and provided a link
3352
from the developer document catalog back to the main one.

3355
3356
API CHANGES:
3357
3358
* The static convenience method ``BzrDir.create_repository``
3359
is deprecated. Callers should instead create a ``BzrDir`` instance
3360
and call ``create_repository`` on that. (Martin Pool)
3361
3362
3363
bzr 0.90rc1 2007-08-14
3364
----------------------
3365
3366
BUGFIXES:
3367
3368
* ``bzr init`` should connect to the remote location one time only. We
3369
have been connecting several times because we forget to pass around the
3370
Transport object. This modifies ``BzrDir.create_branch_convenience``,
3371
so that we can give it the Transport we already have.
3372
(John Arbash Meinel, Vincent Ladeuil, #111702)
3373
3374
* Get rid of sftp connection cache (get rid of the FTP one too).
3375
(Vincent Ladeuil, #43731)
3376
3377
* bzr branch {local|remote} remote don't try to create a working tree
3378
anymore.
3379
(Vincent Ladeuil, #112173)
3380
3381
* All identified multiple connections for a single bzr command have been
3382
fixed. See bzrlib/tests/commands directory.
3383
(Vincent Ladeuil)
3384
3385
* ``bzr rm`` now does not insist on ``--force`` to delete files that
3386
have been renamed but not otherwise modified. (Marius Kruger,
3387
#111664)
3388
3389
* ``bzr selftest --bench`` no longer emits deprecation warnings
3390
(Lukáš Lalinský)
3391
3392
* ``bzr status`` now honours FILE parameters for conflict lists
3393
(Aaron Bentley, #127606)
3394
3395
* ``bzr checkout`` now honours -r when reconstituting a working tree.
3396
It also honours -r 0. (Aaron Bentley, #127708)
3397
3398
* ``bzr add *`` no more fails on Windows if working tree contains
3399
non-ascii file names. (Kuno Meyer, #127361)
3400
3401
* allow ``easy_install bzr`` runs without fatal errors.
3402
(Alexander Belchenko, #125521)
3403
3404
* Graph._filter_candidate_lca does not raise KeyError if a candidate
3405
is eliminated just before it would normally be examined. (Aaron Bentley)
3406
3407
* SMTP connection failures produce a nice message, not a traceback.
3408
(Aaron Bentley)
3409
3410
IMPROVEMENTS:
3411
3412
* Don't show "dots" progress indicators when run non-interactively, such
3413
as from cron. (Martin Pool)
3414
3415
* ``info`` now formats locations more nicely and lists "submit" and
3416
"public" branches (Aaron Bentley)
3417
3418
* New ``pack`` command that will trigger database compression within
3419
the repository (Robert Collins)
3420
3421
* Implement ``_KnitIndex._load_data`` in a pyrex extension. The pyrex
3422
version is approximately 2-3x faster at parsing a ``.kndx`` file.
3423
Which yields a measurable improvement for commands which have to
3424
read from the repository, such as a 1s => 0.75s improvement in
3425
``bzr diff`` when there are changes to be shown. (John Arbash Meinel)
3426
3427
* Merge is now faster. Depending on the scenario, it can be more than 2x
3428
faster. (Aaron Bentley)
3429
3430
* Give a clearer warning, and allow ``python setup.py install`` to
3431
succeed even if pyrex is not available.
3432
(John Arbash Meinel)
3433
3434
* ``DirState._read_dirblocks`` now has an optional Pyrex
3435
implementation. This improves the speed of any command that has to
3436
read the entire DirState. (``diff``, ``status``, etc, improve by
3437
about 10%).
3438
``bisect_dirblocks`` has also been improved, which helps all
3439
``_get_entry`` type calls (whenever we are searching for a
3440
particular entry in the in-memory DirState).
3441
(John Arbash Meinel)
3442
3443
* ``bzr pull`` and ``bzr push`` no longer do a complete walk of the
3444
branch revision history for ui display unless -v is supplied.
3445
(Robert Collins)
3446
3447
* ``bzr log -rA..B`` output shifted to the left margin if the log only
3448
contains merge revisions. (Kent Gibson)
3449
3450
* The ``plugins`` command is now public with improved help.
3451
(Ian Clatworthy)
3452
3453
* New bundle and merge directive formats are faster to generate, and
3454
3455
* Annotate merge now works when there are local changes. (Aaron Bentley)
3456
3457
* Commit now only shows the progress in terms of directories instead of
3458
entries. (Ian Clatworthy)
3459
3460
* Fix ``KnitRepository.get_revision_graph`` to not request the graph 2
3461
times. This makes ``get_revision_graph`` 2x faster. (John Arbash
3462
Meinel)
3463
3464
* Fix ``VersionedFile.get_graph()`` to avoid using
3465
``set.difference_update(other)``, which has bad scaling when
3466
``other`` is large. This improves ``VF.get_graph([version_id])`` for
3467
a 12.5k graph from 2.9s down to 200ms. (John Arbash Meinel)
3468
3469
* The ``--lsprof-file`` option now generates output for KCacheGrind if
3470
the file starts with ``callgrind.out``. This matches the default file
3471
filtering done by KCacheGrind's Open Dialog. (Ian Clatworthy)
3472
3473
* Fix ``bzr update`` to avoid an unnecessary
3474
``branch.get_master_branch`` call, which avoids 1 extra connection
3475
to the remote server. (Partial fix for #128076, John Arbash Meinel)
3476
3477
* Log errors from the smart server in the trace file, to make debugging
3478
test failures (and live failures!) easier. (Andrew Bennetts)
3479
3480
* The HTML version of the man page has been superceded by a more
3481
comprehensive manual called the Bazaar User Reference. This manual
3482
is completed generated from the online help topics. As part of this
3483
change, limited reStructuredText is now explicitly supported in help
3484
topics and command help with 'unnatural' markup being removed prior
3485
to display by the online help or inclusion in the man page.
3486
(Ian Clatworthy)
3487
3488
* HTML documentation now use files extension ``*.html``
3489
(Alexander Belchenko)
3490
3491
* The cache of ignore definitions is now cleared in WorkingTree.unlock()
3492
so that changes to .bzrignore aren't missed. (#129694, Daniel Watkins)
3493
3494
* ``bzr selftest --strict`` fails if there are any missing features or
3495
expected test failures. (Daniel Watkins, #111914)
3496
3497
* Link to registration survey added to README. (Ian Clatworthy)
3498
3499
* Windows standalone installer show link to registration survey
3500
when installation finished. (Alexander Belchenko)
3501
3502
LIBRARY API BREAKS:
3503
3504
* Deprecated dictionary ``bzrlib.option.SHORT_OPTIONS`` removed.
3505
Options are now required to provide a help string and it must
3506
comply with the style guide by being one or more sentences with an
3507
initial capital and final period. (Martin Pool)
3508
3509
* KnitIndex.get_parents now returns tuples. (Robert Collins)
3510
3511
* Ancient unused ``Repository.text_store`` attribute has been removed.
3512
(Robert Collins)
3513
3514
* The ``bzrlib.pack`` interface has changed to use tuples of bytestrings
3515
rather than just bytestrings, making it easier to represent multiple
3516
element names. As this interface was not used by any internal facilities
3517
since it was introduced in 0.18 no API compatibility is being preserved.
3518
The serialised form of these packs is identical with 0.18 when a single
3519
element tuple is in use. (Robert Collins)
3520
3521
INTERNALS:
3522
3523
* merge now uses ``iter_changes`` to calculate changes, which makes room for
3524
future performance increases. It is also more consistent with other
3525
operations that perform comparisons, and reduces reliance on
3526
Tree.inventory. (Aaron Bentley)
3527
3528
* Refactoring of transport classes connected to a remote server.
3529
ConnectedTransport is a new class that serves as a basis for all
3530
transports needing to connect to a remote server. transport.split_url
3531
have been deprecated, use the static method on the object instead. URL
3532
tests have been refactored too.
3533
(Vincent Ladeuil)
3534
3535
* Better connection sharing for ConnectedTransport objects.
3536
transport.get_transport() now accepts a 'possible_transports' parameter.
3537
If a newly requested transport can share a connection with one of the
3538
list, it will.
3539
(Vincent Ladeuil)
3540
3541
* Most functions now accept ``bzrlib.revision.NULL_REVISION`` to indicate
3542
the null revision, and consider using ``None`` for this purpose
3543
deprecated. (Aaron Bentley)
3544
3545
* New ``index`` module with abstract index functionality. This will be
3546
used during the planned changes in the repository layer. Currently the
3547
index layer provides a graph aware immutable index, a builder for the
3548
same index type to allow creating them, and finally a composer for
3549
such indices to allow the use of many indices in a single query. The
3550
index performance is not optimised, however the API is stable to allow
3551
development on top of the index. (Robert Collins)
3552
3553
* ``bzrlib.dirstate.cmp_by_dirs`` can be used to compare two paths by
3554
their directory sections. This is equivalent to comparing
3555
``path.split('/')``, only without having to split the paths.
3556
This has a Pyrex implementation available.
3557
(John Arbash Meinel)
3558
3559
* New transport decorator 'unlistable+' which disables the list_dir
3560
functionality for testing.
3561
3562
* Deprecated ``change_entry`` in transform.py. (Ian Clatworthy)
3563
3564
* RevisionTree.get_weave is now deprecated. Tree.plan_merge is now used
3565
for performing annotate-merge. (Aaron Bentley)
3566
3567
* New EmailMessage class to create email messages. (Adeodato Simó)
3568
3569
* Unused functions on the private interface KnitIndex have been removed.
3570
(Robert Collins)
3571
3572
* New ``knit.KnitGraphIndex`` which provides a ``KnitIndex`` layered on top
3573
of a ``index.GraphIndex``. (Robert Collins)
3574
3575
* New ``knit.KnitVersionedFile.iter_parents`` method that allows querying
3576
the parents of many knit nodes at once, reducing round trips to the
3577
underlying index. (Robert Collins)
3578
3579
* Graph now has an is_ancestor method, various bits use it.
3580
(Aaron Bentley)
3581
3582
* The ``-Dhpss`` flag now includes timing information. As well as
3583
logging when a new connection is opened. (John Arbash Meinel)
3584
3585
* ``bzrlib.pack.ContainerWriter`` now returns an offset, length tuple to
3586
callers when inserting data, allowing generation of readv style access
3587
during pack creation, without needing a separate pass across the output
3588
pack to gather such details. (Robert Collins)
3589
3590
* ``bzrlib.pack.make_readv_reader`` allows readv based access to pack
3591
files that are stored on a transport. (Robert Collins)
3592
3593
* New ``Repository.has_same_location`` method that reports if two
3594
repository objects refer to the same repository (although with some risk
3595
of false negatives). (Andrew Bennetts)
3596
3597
* InterTree.compare now passes require_versioned on correctly.
3598
(Marius Kruger)
3599
3600
* New methods on Repository - ``start_write_group``,
3601
``commit_write_group``, ``abort_write_group`` and ``is_in_write_group`` -
3602
which provide a clean hook point for transactional Repositories - ones
3603
where all the data for a fetch or commit needs to be made atomically
3604
available in one step. This allows the write lock to remain while making
3605
a series of data insertions. (e.g. data conversion). (Robert Collins)
3606
3607
* In ``bzrlib.knit`` the internal interface has been altered to use
3608
3-tuples (index, pos, length) rather than two-tuples (pos, length) to
3609
describe where data in a knit is, allowing knits to be split into
3610
many files. (Robert Collins)
3611
3612
* ``bzrlib.knit._KnitData`` split into cache management and physical access
3613
with two access classes - ``_PackAccess`` and ``_KnitAccess`` defined.
3614
The former provides access into a .pack file, and the latter provides the
3615
current production repository form of .knit files. (Robert Collins)
3616
3617
TESTING:
3618
3619
* Remove selftest ``--clean-output``, ``--numbered-dirs`` and
3620
``--keep-output`` options, which are obsolete now that tests
3621
are done within directories in $TMPDIR. (Martin Pool)
3622
3623
* The SSH_AUTH_SOCK environment variable is now reset to avoid
3624
interaction with any running ssh agents. (Jelmer Vernooij, #125955)
3625
3626
* run_bzr_subprocess handles parameters the same way as run_bzr:
3627
either a string or a list of strings should be passed as the first
3628
parameter. Varargs-style parameters are deprecated. (Aaron Bentley)

BUGFIXES:
3643
3644
* Do not suppress pipe errors, etc. in non-display commands
3645
(Alexander Belchenko, #87178)
3646
3647
* Display a useful error message when the user requests to annotate
3648
a file that is not present in the specified revision.
3649
(James Westby, #122656)
3650
3651
* Commands that use status flags now have a reference to 'help
3652
status-flags'. (Daniel Watkins, #113436)
3653
3654
* Work around python-2.4.1 inhability to correctly parse the
3655
authentication header.
3656
(Vincent Ladeuil, #121889)
3657
3658
* Use exact encoding for merge directives. (Adeodato Simó, #120591)
3659
3660
* Fix tempfile permissions error in smart server tar bundling under
3661
Windows. (Martin _, #119330)
3662
3663
* Fix detection of directory entries in the inventory. (James Westby)

3665
* Fix handling of http code 400: Bad Request When issuing too many ranges.
3666
(Vincent Ladeuil, #115209)

3668
* Issue a CONNECT request when connecting to an https server
3669
via a proxy to enable SSL tunneling.
3670
(Vincent Ladeuil, #120678)
3671
3672
* Fix ``bzr log -r`` to support selecting merge revisions, both
3673
individually and as part of revision ranges.
3674
(Kent Gibson, #4663)
3675
3676
* Don't leave cruft behind when failing to acquire a lockdir.
3677
(Martin Pool, #109169)
3678
3679
* Don't use the '-f' strace option during tests.
3680
(Vincent Ladeuil, #102019).
3681
3682
* Warn when setting ``push_location`` to a value that will be masked by
3683
locations.conf. (Aaron Bentley, #122286)
3684
3685
* Fix commit ordering in corner case (Aaron Bentley, #94975)
3686
3687
* Make annotate behave in a non-ASCII world (Adeodato Simó).
3688
3689
IMPROVEMENTS:
3690
3691
* The --lsprof-file option now dumps a text rendering of the profiling
3692
information if the filename ends in ".txt". It will also convert the
3693
profiling information to a format suitable for KCacheGrind if the
3694
output filename ends in ".callgrind". Fixes to the lsprofcalltree
3695
conversion process by Jean Paul Calderone and Itamar were also merged.
3696
See http://ddaa.net/blog/python/lsprof-calltree. (Ian Clatworthy)
3697
3698
* ``info`` now defaults to non-verbose mode, displaying only paths and
3699
abbreviated format info. ``info -v`` displays all the information
3700
formerly displayed by ``info``. (Aaron Bentley, Adeodato Simó)
3701
3702
* ``bzr missing`` now has better option names ``--this`` and ``--other``.
3703
(Elliot Murphy)
3704
3705
* The internal ``weave-list`` command has become ``versionedfile-list``,
3706
and now lists knits as well as weaves. (Aaron Bentley)
3707
3708
* Automatic merge base selection uses a faster algorithm that chooses
3709
better bases in criss-cross merge situations (Aaron Bentley)
3710
3711
* Progress reporting in ``commit`` has been improved. The various logical
3712
stages are now reported on as follows, namely:
3713
3714
* Collecting changes [Entry x/y] - Stage n/m
3715
* Saving data locally - Stage n/m
3716
* Uploading data to master branch - Stage n/m
3717
* Updating the working tree - Stage n/m
3718
* Running post commit hooks - Stage n/m
3719
3720
If there is no master branch, the 3rd stage is omitted and the total
3721
number of stages is adjusted accordingly.
3722
3723
Each hook that is run after commit is listed with a name (as hooks
3724
can be slow it is useful feedback).
3725
(Ian Clatworthy, Robert Collins)
3726
3727
* Various operations that are now faster due to avoiding unnecessary
3728
topological sorts. (Aaron Bentley)
3729
3730
* Make merge directives robust against broken bundles. (Aaron Bentley)
3731
3732
* The lsprof filename note is emitted via trace.note(), not standard
3733
output. (Aaron Bentley)
3734
3735
* ``bzrlib`` now exports explicit API compatibility information to assist
3736
library users and plugins. See the ``bzrlib.api`` module for details.
3737
(Robert Collins)
3738
3739
* Remove unnecessary lock probes when acquiring a lockdir.
3740
(Martin Pool)
3741
3742
* ``bzr --version`` now shows the location of the bzr log file, which
3743
is especially useful on Windows. (Martin Pool)
3744
3745
* -D now supports hooks to get debug tracing of hooks (though its currently
3746
minimal in nature). (Robert Collins)
3747
3748
* Long log format reports deltas on merge revisions.
3749
(John Arbash Meinel, Kent Gibson)
3750
3751
* Make initial push over ftp more resilient. (John Arbash Meinel)
3752
3753
* Print a summary of changes for update just like pull does.
3754
(Daniel Watkins, #113990)
3755
3756
* Add a -Dhpss option to trace smart protocol requests and responses.
3757
(Andrew Bennetts)
3758
3759
LIBRARY API BREAKS:
3760
3761
* Testing cleanups -
3762
``bzrlib.repository.RepositoryTestProviderAdapter`` has been moved
3763
to ``bzrlib.tests.repository_implementations``;
3764
``bzrlib.repository.InterRepositoryTestProviderAdapter`` has been moved
3765
to ``bzrlib.tests.interrepository_implementations``;
3766
``bzrlib.transport.TransportTestProviderAdapter`` has moved to
3767
``bzrlib.tests.test_transport_implementations``.
3768
``bzrlib.branch.BranchTestProviderAdapter`` has moved to
3769
``bzrlib.tests.branch_implementations``.
3770
``bzrlib.bzrdir.BzrDirTestProviderAdapter`` has moved to
3771
``bzrlib.tests.bzrdir_implementations``.
3772
``bzrlib.versionedfile.InterVersionedFileTestProviderAdapter`` has moved
3773
to ``bzrlib.tests.interversionedfile_implementations``.
3774
``bzrlib.store.revision.RevisionStoreTestProviderAdapter`` has moved to
3775
``bzrlib.tests.revisionstore_implementations``.
3776
``bzrlib.workingtree.WorkingTreeTestProviderAdapter`` has moved to
3777
``bzrlib.tests.workingtree_implementations``.
3778
These changes are an API break in the testing infrastructure only.
3779
(Robert Collins)
3780
3781
* Relocate TestCaseWithRepository to be more central. (Robert Collins)
3782
3783
* ``bzrlib.add.smart_add_tree`` will no longer perform glob expansion on
3784
win32. Callers of the function should do this and use the new
3785
``MutableTree.smart_add`` method instead. (Robert Collins)
3786
3787
* ``bzrlib.add.glob_expand_for_win32`` is now
3788
``bzrlib.win32utils.glob_expand``. (Robert Collins)
3789
3790
* ``bzrlib.add.FastPath`` is now private and moved to
3791
``bzrlib.mutabletree._FastPath``. (Robert Collins, Martin Pool)
3792
3793
* ``LockDir.wait`` removed. (Martin Pool)
3794
3795
* The ``SmartServer`` hooks API has changed for the ``server_started`` and
3796
``server_stopped`` hooks. The first parameter is now an iterable of
3797
backing URLs rather than a single URL. This is to reflect that many
3798
URLs may map to the external URL of the server. E.g. the server interally
3799
may have a chrooted URL but also the local file:// URL will be at the
3800
same location. (Robert Collins)
3801
3802
INTERNALS:
3803
3804
* New SMTPConnection class to unify email handling. (Adeodato Simó)
3805
3806
* Fix documentation of BzrError. (Adeodato Simó)
3807
3808
* Make BzrBadParameter an internal error. (Adeodato Simó)
3809
3810
* Remove use of 'assert False' to raise an exception unconditionally.
3811
(Martin Pool)
3812
3813
* Give a cleaner error when failing to decode knit index entry.
3814
(Martin Pool)
3815
3816
* TreeConfig would mistakenly search the top level when asked for options
3817
from a section. It now respects the section argument and only
3818
searches the specified section. (James Westby)
3819
3820
* Improve ``make api-docs`` output. (John Arbash Meinel)
3821
3822
* Use os.lstat rather than os.stat for osutils.make_readonly and
3823
osutils.make_writeable. This makes the difftools plugin more
3824
robust when dangling symlinks are found. (Elliot Murphy)
3825
3826
* New ``-Dlock`` option to log (to ~/.bzr.log) information on when
3827
lockdirs are taken or released. (Martin Pool)
3828
3829
* ``bzrlib`` Hooks are now nameable using ``Hooks.name_hook``. This
3830
allows a nicer UI when hooks are running as the current hook can
3831
be displayed. (Robert Collins)
3832
3833
* ``Transport.get`` has had its interface made more clear for ease of use.
3834
Retrieval of a directory must now fail with either 'PathError' at open
3835
time, or raise 'ReadError' on a read. (Robert Collins)
3836
3837
* New method ``_maybe_expand_globs`` on the ``Command`` class for
3838
dealing with unexpanded glob lists - e.g. on the win32 platform. This
3839
was moved from ``bzrlib.add._prepare_file_list``. (Robert Collins)
3840
3841
* ``bzrlib.add.smart_add`` and ``bzrlib.add.smart_add_tree`` are now
3842
deprecated in favour of ``MutableTree.smart_add``. (Robert Collins,
3843
Martin Pool)
3844
3845
* New method ``external_url`` on Transport for obtaining the url to
3846
hand to external processes. (Robert Collins)
3847
3848
* Teach windows installers to build pyrex/C extensions.
3849
(Alexander Belchenko)
3850
3851
TESTING:
3852
3853
* Removed the ``--keep-output`` option from selftest and clean up test
3854
directories as they're used. This reduces the IO load from
3855
running the test suite and cuts the time by about half.
3856
(Andrew Bennetts, Martin Pool)
3857
3858
* Add scenarios as a public attribute on the TestAdapter classes to allow
3859
modification of the generated scenarios before adaption and easier
3860
testing. (Robert Collins)
3861
3862
* New testing support class ``TestScenarioApplier`` which multiplies
3863
out a single teste by a list of supplied scenarios. (RobertCollins)
3864
3865
* Setting ``repository_to_test_repository`` on a repository_implementations
3866
test will cause it to be called during repository creation, allowing the
3867
testing of repository classes which are not based around the Format
3868
concept. For example a repository adapter can be tested in this manner,
3869
by altering the repository scenarios to include a scenario that sets this
3870
attribute during the test parameterisation in
3871
``bzrlib.tests.repository.repository_implementations``. (Robert Collins)
3872
3873
* Clean up many of the APIs for blackbox testing of Bazaar. The standard
3874
interface is now self.run_bzr. The command to run can be passed as
3875
either a list of parameters, a string containing the command line, or
3876
(deprecated) varargs parameters. (Martin Pool)
3877
3878
* The base TestCase now isolates tests from -D parameters by clearing
3879
``debug.debug_flags`` and restores it afterwards. (Robert Collins)
3880
3881
* Add a relpath parameter to get_transport methods in test framework to
3882
avoid useless cloning.

3901
NOTES WHEN UPGRADING:
3902
3903
* The kind() and is_executable() APIs on the WorkingTree interface no
3904
longer implicitly (read) locks and unlocks the tree. This *might*
3905
impact some plug-ins and tools using this part of the API. If you find
3906
an issue that may be caused by this change, please let us know,
3907
particularly the plug-in/tool maintainer. If encountered, the API
3908
fix is to surround kind() and is_executable() calls with lock_read()
3909
and unlock() like so::
3910
3911
work_tree.lock_read()
3912
try:
3913
kind = work_tree.kind(...)
3914
finally:
3915
work_tree.unlock()
3916
3917
INTERNALS:
3918
* Rework of LogFormatter API to provide beginning/end of log hooks and to
3919
encapsulate the details of the revision to be logged in a LogRevision
3920
object.
3921
In long log formats, merge revision ids are only shown when --show-ids
3922
is specified, and are labelled "revision-id:", as per mainline
3923
revisions, instead of "merged:". (Kent Gibson)
3924
3925
* New ``BranchBuilder`` API which allows the construction of particular
3926
histories quickly. Useful for testing and potentially other applications
3927
too. (Robert Collins)
3928
3929
IMPROVEMENTS:
3930
3931
* There are two new help topics, working-trees and repositories that
3932
attempt to explain these concepts. (James Westby, John Arbash Meinel,
3933
Aaron Bentley)
3934
3935
* Added ``bzr log --limit`` to report a limited number of revisions.
3936
(Kent Gibson, #3659)
3937
3938
* Revert does not try to preserve file contents that were originally
3939
produced by reverting to a historical revision. (Aaron Bentley)
3940
3941
* ``bzr log --short`` now includes ``[merge]`` for revisions which
3942
have more than one parent. This is a small improvement to help
3943
understanding what changes have occurred
3944
(John Arbash Meinel, #83887)
3945
3946
* TreeTransform avoids many renames when contructing large trees,
3947
improving speed. 3.25x speedups have been observed for construction of
3948
kernel-sized-trees, and checkouts are 1.28x faster. (Aaron Bentley)
3949
3950
* Commit on large trees is now faster. In my environment, a commit of
3951
a small change to the Mozilla tree (55k files) has dropped from
3952
66 seconds to 32 seconds. For a small tree of 600 files, commit of a
3953
small change is 33% faster. (Ian Clatworthy)
3954
3955
* New --create-prefix option to bzr init, like for push. (Daniel Watkins,
3956
#56322)
3957
3958
BUGFIXES:
3959
3960
* ``bzr push`` should only connect to the remote location one time.
3961
We have been connecting 3 times because we forget to pass around
3962
the Transport object. This adds ``BzrDir.clone_on_transport()``, so
3963
that we can pass in the Transport that we already have.
3964
(John Arbash Meinel, #75721)
3965
3966
* ``DirState.set_state_from_inventory()`` needs to properly order
3967
based on split paths, not just string paths.
3968
(John Arbash Meinel, #115947)
3969
3970
* Let TestUIFactoy encode the password prompt with its own stdout.
3971
(Vincent Ladeuil, #110204)
3972
3973
* pycurl should take use the range header that takes the range hint
3974
into account.
3975
(Vincent Ladeuil, #112719)
3976
3977
* WorkingTree4.get_file_sha1 no longer raises an exception when invoked
3978
on a missing file. (Aaron Bentley, #118186)
3979
3980
* WorkingTree.remove works correctly with tree references, and when pwd is
3981
not the tree root. (Aaron Bentley)
3982
3983
* Merge no longer fails when a file is renamed in one tree and deleted
3984
in the other. (Aaron Bentley, #110279)
3985
3986
* ``revision-info`` now accepts dotted revnos, doesn't require a tree,
3987
and defaults to the last revision (Matthew Fuller, #90048)
3988
3989
* Tests no longer fail when BZR_REMOTE_PATH is set in the environment.
3990
(Daniel Watkins, #111958)
3991
3992
* ``bzr branch -r revid:foo`` can be used to branch any revision in
3993
your repository. (Previously Branch6 only supported revisions in your
3994
mainline). (John Arbash Meinel, #115343)

BUGFIXES:
4000
4001
* Handle when you have 2 directories with similar names, but one has a
4002
hyphen. (``'abc'`` versus ``'abc-2'``). The WT4._iter_changes
4003
iterator was using direct comparison and ``'abc/a'`` sorts after
4004
``'abc-2'``, but ``('abc', 'a')`` sorts before ``('abc-2',)``.
4005
(John Arbash Meinel, #111227)
4006
4007
* Handle when someone renames a file on disk without telling bzr.
4008
Previously we would report the first file as missing, but not show
4009
the new unknown file. (John Arbash Meinel, #111288)
4010
4011
* Avoid error when running hooks after pulling into or pushing from
4012
a branch bound to a smartserver branch. (Martin Pool, #111968)
4013
4014
IMPROVEMENTS:
4015
4016
* Move developer documentation to doc/developers/. This reduces clutter in
4017
the root of the source tree and allows HACKING to be split into multiple
4018
files. (Robert Collins, Alexander Belchenko)
4019
4020
* Clean up the ``WorkingTree4._iter_changes()`` internal loops as well as
4021
``DirState.update_entry()``. This optimizes the core logic for ``bzr
4022
diff`` and ``bzr status`` significantly improving the speed of
4023
both. (John Arbash Meinel)

4026
-----------------------
4027
4028
BUGFIXES:
4029
4030
* Handle the case when you delete a file, and then rename another file
4031
on top of it. Also handle the case of ``bzr rm --keep foo``. ``bzr
4032
status`` should show the removed file and an unknown file in its
4033
place. (John Arbash Meinel, #109993)
4034
4035
* Bundles properly read and write revision properties that have an
4036
empty value. And when the value is not ASCII.
4037
(John Arbash Meinel, #109613)
4038
4039
* Fix the bzr commit message to be in text mode.
4040
(Alexander Belchenko, #110901)
4041
4042
* Also handle when you rename a file and create a file where it used
4043
to be. (John Arbash Meinel, #110256)
4044
4045
* ``WorkingTree4._iter_changes`` should not descend into unversioned
4046
directories. (John Arbash Meinel, #110399)

4048
bzr 0.16rc1 2007-04-26
4049
-----------------------
4050
4051
NOTES WHEN UPGRADING:
4052
4053
* ``bzr remove`` and ``bzr rm`` will now remove the working file, if
4054
it could be recovered again.
4055
This has been done for consistency with svn and the unix rm command.
4056
The old ``remove`` behaviour has been retained in the new option
4057
``bzr remove --keep``, which will just stop versioning the file,
4058
but not delete it.
4059
``bzr remove --force`` have been added which will always delete the
4060
files.
4061
``bzr remove`` is also more verbose.
4062
(Marius Kruger, #82602)
4063
4064
IMPROVEMENTS:
4065
4066
* Merge directives can now be supplied as input to `merge` and `pull`,
4067
like bundles can. (Aaron Bentley)
4068
4069
* Sending the SIGQUIT signal to bzr, which can be done on Unix by
4070
pressing Control-Backslash, drops bzr into a debugger. Type ``'c'``
4071
to continue. This can be disabled by setting the environment variable
4072
``BZR_SIGQUIT_PDB=0``. (Martin Pool)
4073
4074
* selftest now supports --list-only to list tests instead of running
4075
them. (Ian Clatworthy)
4076
4077
* selftest now supports --exclude PATTERN (or -x PATTERN) to exclude
4078
tests with names that match that regular expression.
4079
(Ian Clatworthy, #102679)
4080
4081
* selftest now supports --randomize SEED to run tests in a random order.
4082
SEED is typically the value 'now' meaning 'use the current time'.
4083
(Ian Clatworthy, #102686)
4084
4085
* New option ``--fixes`` to commit, which stores bug fixing annotations as
4086
revision properties. Built-in support for Launchpad, Debian, Trac and
4087
Bugzilla bug trackers. (Jonathan Lange, James Henstridge, Robert Collins)
4088
4089
* New API, ``bzrlib.bugtracker.tracker_registry``, for adding support for
4090
other bug trackers to ``fixes``. (Jonathan Lange, James Henstridge,
4091
Robert Collins)
4092
4093
* ``selftest`` has new short options ``-f`` and ``-1``. (Martin
4094
Pool)
4095
4096
* ``bzrlib.tsort.MergeSorter`` optimizations. Change the inner loop
4097
into using local variables instead of going through ``self._var``.
4098
Improves the time to ``merge_sort`` a 10k revision graph by
4099
approximately 40% (~700->400ms). (John Arbash Meinel)
4100
4101
* ``make docs`` now creates a man page at ``man1/bzr.1`` fixing bug 107388.
4102
(Robert Collins)
4103
4104
* ``bzr help`` now provides cross references to other help topics using
4105
the _see_also facility on command classes. Likewise the bzr_man
4106
documentation, and the bzr.1 man page also include this information.
4107
(Robert Collins)
4108
4109
* Tags are now included in logs, that use the long log formatter.
4110
(Erik Bågfors, Alexander Belchenko)
4111
4112
* ``bzr help`` provides a clearer message when a help topic cannot be
4113
found. (Robert Collins, #107656)
4114
4115
* ``bzr help`` now accepts optional prefixes for command help. The help
4116
for all commands can now be found at ``bzr help commands/COMMANDNAME``
4117
as well as ``bzr help COMMANDNAME`` (which only works for commands
4118
where the name is not the same as a more general help topic).
4119
(Robert Collins)
4120
4121
* ``bzr help PLUGINNAME`` will now return the module docstring from the
4122
plugin PLUGINNAME. (Robert Collins, #50408)
4123
4124
* New help topic ``urlspec`` which lists the availables transports.
4125
(Goffredo Baroncelli)
4126
4127
* doc/server.txt updated to document the default bzr:// port
4128
and also update the blurb about the hpss' current status.
4129
(Robert Collins, #107125).
4130
4131
* ``bzr serve`` now listens on interface 0.0.0.0 by default, making it
4132
serve out to the local LAN (and anyone in the world that can reach the
4133
machine running ``bzr serve``. (Robert Collins, #98918)
4134
4135
* A new smart server protocol version has been added. It prefixes requests
4136
and responses with an explicit version identifier so that future protocol
4137
revisions can be dealt with gracefully. (Andrew Bennetts, Robert Collins)
4138
4139
* The bzr protocol version 2 indicates success or failure in every response
4140
without depending on particular commands encoding that consistently,
4141
allowing future client refactorings to be much more robust about error
4142
handling. (Robert Collins, Martin Pool, Andrew Bennetts)
4143
4144
* The smart protocol over HTTP client has been changed to always post to the
4145
same ``.bzr/smart`` URL under the original location when it can. This allows
4146
HTTP servers to only have to pass URLs ending in .bzr/smart to the smart
4147
server handler, and not arbitrary ``.bzr/*/smart`` URLs. (Andrew Bennetts)
4148
4149
* digest authentication is now supported for proxies and HTTP by the urllib
4150
based http implementation. Tested against Apache 2.0.55 and Squid
4151
2.6.5. Basic and digest authentication are handled coherently for HTTP
4152
and proxy: if the user is provided in the url (bzr command line for HTTP,
4153
proxy environment variables for proxies), the password is prompted for
4154
(only once). If the password is provided, it is taken into account. Once
4155
the first authentication is successful, all further authentication
4156
roundtrips are avoided by preventively setting the right authentication
4157
header(s).
4158
(Vincent Ladeuil).

INTERNALS:
4161
4162
* bzrlib API compatability with 0.8 has been dropped, cleaning up some
4163
code paths. (Robert Collins)
4164
4165
* Change the format of chroot urls so that they can be safely manipulated
4166
by generic url utilities without causing the resulting urls to have
4167
escaped the chroot. A side effect of this is that creating a chroot
4168
requires an explicit action using a ChrootServer.
4169
(Robert Collins, Andrew Bennetts)
4170
4171
* Deprecate ``Branch.get_root_id()`` because branches don't have root ids,
4172
rather than fixing bug #96847. (Aaron Bentley)
4173
4174
* ``WorkingTree.apply_inventory_delta`` provides a better alternative to
4175
``WorkingTree._write_inventory``. (Aaron Bentley)
4176
4177
* Convenience method ``TestCase.expectFailure`` ensures that known failures
4178
do not silently pass. (Aaron Bentley)
4179
4180
* ``Transport.local_abspath`` now raises ``NotLocalUrl`` rather than
4181
``TransportNotPossible``. (Martin Pool, Ian Clatworthy)
4182
4183
* New SmartServer hooks facility. There are two initial hooks documented
4184
in ``bzrlib.transport.smart.SmartServerHooks``. The two initial hooks allow
4185
plugins to execute code upon server startup and shutdown.
4186
(Robert Collins).
4187
4188
* SmartServer in standalone mode will now close its listening socket
4189
when it stops, rather than waiting for garbage collection. This primarily
4190
fixes test suite hangs when a test tries to connect to a shutdown server.
4191
It may also help improve behaviour when dealing with a server running
4192
on a specific port (rather than dynamically assigned ports).
4193
(Robert Collins)
4194
4195
* Move most SmartServer code into a new package, bzrlib/smart.
4196
bzrlib/transport/remote.py contains just the Transport classes that used
4197
to be in bzrlib/transport/smart.py. (Andrew Bennetts)
4198
4199
* urllib http implementation avoid roundtrips associated with
4200
401 (and 407) errors once the authentication succeeds.
4201
(Vincent Ladeuil).
4202
4203
* urlib http now supports querying the user for a proxy password if
4204
needed. Realm is shown in the prompt for both HTTP and proxy
4205
authentication when the user is required to type a password.
4206
(Vincent Ladeuil).
4207
4208
* Renamed SmartTransport (and subclasses like SmartTCPTransport) to
4209
RemoteTransport (and subclasses to RemoteTCPTransport, etc). This is more
4210
consistent with its new home in ``bzrlib/transport/remote.py``, and because
4211
it's not really a "smart" transport, just one that does file operations
4212
via remote procedure calls. (Andrew Bennetts)
4213
4214
* The ``lock_write`` method of ``LockableFiles``, ``Repository`` and
4215
``Branch`` now accept a ``token`` keyword argument, so that separate
4216
instances of those objects can share a lock if it has the right token.
4217
(Andrew Bennetts, Robert Collins)
4218
4219
* New method ``get_branch_reference`` on ``BzrDir`` allows the detection of
4220
branch references - which the smart server component needs.
4221
4222
* The Repository API ``make_working_trees`` is now permitted to return
4223
False when ``set_make_working_trees`` is not implemented - previously
4224
an unimplemented ``set_make_working_trees`` implied the result True
4225
from ``make_working_trees``. This has been changed to accomodate the
4226
smart server, where it does not make sense (at this point) to ever
4227
make working trees by default. (Robert Collins)
4228
4229
* Command objects can now declare related help topics by having _see_also
4230
set to a list of related topic. (Robert Collins)
4231
4232
* ``bzrlib.help`` now delegates to the Command class for Command specific
4233
help. (Robert Collins)
4234
4235
* New class ``TransportListRegistry``, derived from the Registry class, which
4236
simplifies tracking the available Transports. (Goffredo Baroncelli)
4237
4238
* New function ``Branch.get_revision_id_to_revno_map`` which will
4239
return a dictionary mapping revision ids to dotted revnos. Since
4240
dotted revnos are defined in the context of the branch tip, it makes
4241
sense to generate them from a ``Branch`` object.
4242
(John Arbash Meinel)
4243
4244
* Fix the 'Unprintable error' message display to use the repr of the
4245
exception that prevented printing the error because the str value
4246
for it is often not useful in debugging (e.g. KeyError('foo') has a
4247
str() of 'foo' but a repr of 'KeyError('foo')' which is much more
4248
useful. (Robert Collins)
4249
4250
* ``urlutils.normalize_url`` now unescapes unreserved characters, such as "~".
4251
(Andrew Bennetts)
4252
4253
BUGFIXES:
4254
4255
* Don't fail bundle selftest if email has 'two' embedded.
4256
(Ian Clatworthy, #98510)
4257
4258
* Remove ``--verbose`` from ``bzr bundle``. It didn't work anyway.
4259
(Robert Widhopf-Fenk, #98591)
4260
4261
* Remove ``--basis`` from the checkout/branch commands - it didn't work
4262
properly and is no longer beneficial.
4263
(Robert Collins, #53675, #43486)
4264
4265
* Don't produce encoding error when adding duplicate files.
4266
(Aaron Bentley)
4267
4268
* Fix ``bzr log <file>`` so it only logs the revisions that changed
4269
the file, and does it faster.
4270
(Kent Gibson, John Arbash Meinel, #51980, #69477)
4271
4272
* Fix ``InterDirstateTre._iter_changes`` to handle when we come across
4273
an empty versioned directory, which now has files in it.
4274
(John Arbash Meinel, #104257)
4275
4276
* Teach ``common_ancestor`` to shortcut when the tip of one branch is
4277
inside the ancestry of the other. Saves a lot of graph processing
4278
(with an ancestry of 16k revisions, ``bzr merge ../already-merged``
4279
changes from 2m10s to 13s). (John Arbash Meinel, #103757)
4280
4281
* Fix ``show_diff_trees`` to handle the case when a file is modified,
4282
and the containing directory is renamed. (The file path is different
4283
in this versus base, but it isn't marked as a rename).
4284
(John Arbash Meinel, #103870)
4285
4286
* FTP now works even when the FTP server does not support atomic rename.
4287
(Aaron Bentley, #89436)
4288
4289
* Correct handling in bundles and merge directives of timezones with
4290
that are not an integer number of hours offset from UTC. Always
4291
represent the epoch time in UTC to avoid problems with formatting
4292
earlier times on win32. (Martin Pool, Alexander Belchenko, John
4293
Arbash Meinel)
4294
4295
* Typo in the help for ``register-branch`` fixed. (Robert Collins, #96770)
4296
4297
* "dirstate" and "dirstate-tags" formats now produce branches compatible
4298
with old versions of bzr. (Aaron Bentley, #107168))
4299
4300
* Handle moving a directory when children have been added, removed,
4301
and renamed. (John Arbash Meinel, #105479)
4302
4303
* Don't preventively use basic authentication for proxy before receiving a
4304
407 error. Otherwise people willing to use other authentication schemes
4305
may expose their password in the clear (or nearly). This add one
4306
roundtrip in case basic authentication should be used, but plug the
4307
security hole.
4308
(Vincent Ladeuil)
4309
4310
* Handle http and proxy digest authentication.
4311
(Vincent Ladeuil, #94034).
4312
4313
TESTING:
4314
4315
* Added ``bzrlib.strace.strace`` which will strace a single callable and
4316
return a StraceResult object which contains just the syscalls involved
4317
in running it. (Robert Collins)
4318
4319
* New test method ``reduceLockdirTimeout`` to drop the default (ui-centric)
4320
default time down to one suitable for tests. (Andrew Bennetts)
4321
4322
* Add new ``vfs_transport_factory`` attribute on tests which provides the
4323
common vfs backing for both the readonly and readwrite transports.
4324
This allows the RemoteObject tests to back onto local disk or memory,
4325
and use the existing ``transport_server`` attribute all tests know about
4326
to be the smart server transport. This in turn allows tests to
4327
differentiate between 'transport to access the branch', and
4328
'transport which is a VFS' - which matters in Remote* tests.
4329
(Robert Collins, Andrew Bennetts)
4330
4331
* The ``make_branch_and_tree`` method for tests will now create a
4332
lightweight checkout for the tree if the ``vfs_transport_factory`` is not
4333
a LocalURLServer. (Robert Collins, Andrew Bennetts)
4334
4335
* Branch implementation tests have been audited to ensure that all urls
4336
passed to Branch APIs use proper urls, except when local-disk paths
4337
are intended. This is so that tests correctly access the test transport
4338
which is often not equivalent to local disk in Remote* tests. As part
4339
of this many tests were adjusted to remove dependencies on local disk
4340
access.
4341
(Robert Collins, Andrew Bennetts)
4342
4343
* Mark bzrlib.tests and bzrlib.tests.TestUtil as providing assertFOO helper
4344
functions by adding a ``__unittest`` global attribute. (Robert Collins,
4345
Andrew Bennetts, Martin Pool, Jonathan Lange)
4346
4347
* Refactored proxy and authentication handling to simplify the
4348
implementation of new auth schemes for both http and proxy.

4366
CHANGES:
4367
4368
* A warning is now displayed when opening working trees in older
4369
formats, to encourage people to upgrade to WorkingTreeFormat4.
4370
(Martin Pool)
4371
4372
IMPROVEMENTS:
4373
4374
* HTTP redirections are now taken into account when a branch (or a
4375
bundle) is accessed for the first time. A message is issued at each
4376
redirection to inform the user. In the past, http redirections were
4377
silently followed for each request which significantly degraded the
4378
performances. The http redirections are not followed anymore by
4379
default, instead a RedirectRequested exception is raised. For bzrlib
4380
users needing to follow http redirections anyway,
4381
``bzrlib.transport.do_catching_redirections`` provide an easy transition
4382
path. (vila)
4383
4384
INTERNALS:
4385
4386
* Added ``ReadLock.temporary_write_lock()`` to allow upgrading an OS read
4387
lock to an OS write lock. Linux can do this without unlocking, Win32
4388
needs to unlock in between. (John Arbash Meinel)
4389
4390
* New parameter ``recommend_upgrade`` to ``BzrDir.open_workingtree``
4391
to silence (when false) warnings about opening old formats.
4392
(Martin Pool)
4393
4394
* Fix minor performance regression with bzr-0.15 on pre-dirstate
4395
trees. (We were reading the working inventory too many times).
4396
(John Arbash Meinel)
4397
4398
* Remove ``Branch.get_transaction()`` in favour of a simple cache of
4399
``revision_history``. Branch subclasses should override
4400
``_gen_revision_history`` rather than ``revision_history`` to make use of
4401
this cache, and call ``_clear_revision_history_cache`` and
4402
``_cache_revision_history`` at appropriate times. (Andrew Bennetts)
4403
4404
BUGFIXES:
4405
4406
* Take ``smtp_server`` from user config into account.
4407
(vila, #92195)
4408
4409
* Restore Unicode filename handling for versioned and unversioned files.
4410
(John Arbash Meinel, #92608)
4411
4412
* Don't fail during ``bzr commit`` if a file is marked removed, and
4413
the containing directory is auto-removed. (John Arbash Meinel, #93681)
4414
4415
* ``bzr status FILENAME`` failed on Windows because of an uncommon
4416
errno. (``ERROR_DIRECTORY == 267 != ENOTDIR``).
4417
(Wouter van Heyst, John Arbash Meinel, #90819)
4418
4419
* ``bzr checkout source`` should create a local branch in the same
4420
format as source. (John Arbash Meinel, #93854)
4421
4422
* ``bzr commit`` with a kind change was failing to update the
4423
last-changed-revision for directories. The
4424
InventoryDirectory._unchanged only looked at the ``parent_id`` and name,
4425
ignoring the fact that the kind could have changed, too.
4426
(John Arbash Meinel, #90111)
4427
4428
* ``bzr mv dir/subdir other`` was incorrectly updating files inside
4429
the directory. So that there was a chance it would break commit,
4430
etc. (John Arbash Meinel, #94037)
4431
4432
* Correctly handles mutiple permanent http redirections.

4436
-----------------------
4437
4438
NOTES WHEN UPGRADING:
4439
4440
* Release 0.15rc2 of bzr changes the ``bzr init-repo`` command to
4441
default to ``--trees`` instead of ``--no-trees``.
4442
Existing shared repositories are not affected.
4443
4444
IMPROVEMENTS:
4445
4446
* New ``merge-directive`` command to generate machine- and human-readable
4447
merge requests. (Aaron Bentley)
4448
4449
* New ``submit:`` revision specifier makes it easy to diff against the
4450
common ancestor with the submit location (Aaron Bentley)
4451
4452
* Added support for Putty's SSH implementation. (Dmitry Vasiliev)
4453
4454
* Added ``bzr status --versioned`` to report only versioned files,
4455
not unknowns. (Kent Gibson)
4456
4457
* Merge now autodetects the correct line-ending style for its conflict
4458
markers. (Aaron Bentley)
4459
4460
INTERNALS:
4461
4462
* Refactored SSH vendor registration into SSHVendorManager class.
4463
(Dmitry Vasiliev)
4464
4465
BUGFIXES:
4466
4467
* New ``--numbered-dirs`` option to ``bzr selftest`` to use
4468
numbered dirs for TestCaseInTempDir. This is default behavior
4469
on Windows. Anyone can force named dirs on Windows
4470
with ``--no-numbered-dirs``. (Alexander Belchenko)
4471
4472
* Fix ``RevisionSpec_revid`` to handle the Unicode strings passed in
4473
from the command line. (Marien Zwart, #90501)
4474
4475
* Fix ``TreeTransform._iter_changes`` when both the source and
4476
destination are missing. (Aaron Bentley, #88842)
4477
4478
* Fix commit of merges with symlinks in dirstate trees.
4479
(Marien Zwart)
4480
4481
* Switch the ``bzr init-repo`` default from --no-trees to --trees.

4485
bzr 0.15rc1 2007-03-07
4486
-----------------------
4487
4488
SURPRISES:
4489
4490
* The default disk format has changed. Please run 'bzr upgrade' in your
4491
working trees to upgrade. This new default is compatible for network
4492
operations, but not for local operations. That is, if you have two
4493
versions of bzr installed locally, after upgrading you can only use the
4494
bzr 0.15 version. This new default does not enable tags or nested-trees
4495
as they are incompatible with bzr versions before 0.15 over the network.
4496
4497
* For users of bzrlib: Two major changes have been made to the working tree
4498
api in bzrlib. The first is that many methods and attributes, including
4499
the inventory attribute, are no longer valid for use until one of
4500
``lock_read``/``lock_write``/``lock_tree_write`` has been called,
4501
and become invalid again after unlock is called. This has been done
4502
to improve performance and correctness as part of the dirstate
4503
development.
4504
(Robert Collins, John A Meinel, Martin Pool, and others).
4505
4506
* For users of bzrlib: The attribute 'tree.inventory' should be considered
4507
readonly. Previously it was possible to directly alter this attribute, or
4508
its contents, and have the tree notice this. This has been made
4509
unsupported - it may work in some tree formats, but in the newer dirstate
4510
format such actions will have no effect and will be ignored, or even
4511
cause assertions. All operations possible can still be carried out by a
4512
combination of the tree API, and the bzrlib.transform API. (Robert
4513
Collins, John A Meinel, Martin Pool, and others).
4514
4515
IMPROVEMENTS:
4516
4517
* Support for OS Windows 98. Also .bzr.log on any windows system
4518
saved in My Documents folder. (Alexander Belchenko)
4519
4520
* ``bzr mv`` enhanced to support already moved files.
4521
In the past the mv command would have failed if the source file doesn't
4522
exist. In this situation ``bzr mv`` would now detect that the file has
4523
already moved and update the repository accordingly, if the target file
4524
does exist.
4525
A new option ``--after`` has been added so that if two files already
4526
exist, you could notify Bazaar that you have moved a (versioned) file
4527
and replaced it with another. Thus in this case ``bzr move --after``
4528
will only update the Bazaar identifier.
4529
(Steffen Eichenberg, Marius Kruger)
4530
4531
* ``ls`` now works on treeless branches and remote branches.
4532
(Aaron Bentley)
4533
4534
* ``bzr help global-options`` describes the global options.
4535
(Aaron Bentley)
4536
4537
* ``bzr pull --overwrite`` will now correctly overwrite checkouts.
4538
(Robert Collins)
4539
4540
* Files are now allowed to change kind (e.g. from file to symlink).
4541
Supported by ``commit``, ``revert`` and ``status``
4542
(Aaron Bentley)
4543
4544
* ``inventory`` and ``unknowns`` hidden in favour of ``ls``
4545
(Aaron Bentley)
4546
4547
* ``bzr help checkouts`` descibes what checkouts are and some possible
4548
uses of them. (James Westby, Aaron Bentley)
4549
4550
* A new ``-d`` option to push, pull and merge overrides the default
4551
directory. (Martin Pool)
4552
4553
* Branch format 6: smaller, and potentially faster than format 5. Supports
4554
``append_history_only`` mode, where the log view and revnos do not change,
4555
except by being added to. Stores policy settings in
4556
".bzr/branch/branch.conf".
4557
4558
* ``append_only`` branches: Format 6 branches may be configured so that log
4559
view and revnos are always consistent. Either create the branch using
4560
"bzr init --append-revisions-only" or edit the config file as descriped
4561
in docs/configuration.txt.
4562
4563
* rebind: Format 6 branches retain the last-used bind location, so if you
4564
"bzr unbind", you can "bzr bind" to bind to the previously-selected
4565
bind location.
4566
4567
* Builtin tags support, created and deleted by the ``tag`` command and
4568
stored in the branch. Tags can be accessed with the revisionspec
4569
``-rtag:``, and listed with ``bzr tags``. Tags are not versioned
4570
at present. Tags require a network incompatible upgrade. To perform this
4571
upgrade, run ``bzr upgrade --dirstate-tags`` in your branch and
4572
repositories. (Martin Pool)
4573
4574
* The ``bzr://`` transport now has a well-known port number, 4155,
4575
which it will use by default. (Andrew Bennetts, Martin Pool)
4576
4577
* Bazaar now looks for user-installed plugins before looking for site-wide
4578
plugins. (Jonathan Lange)
4579
4580
* ``bzr resolve`` now detects and marks resolved text conflicts.
4581
(Aaron Bentley)
4582
4583
INTERNALS:
4584
4585
* Internally revision ids and file ids are now passed around as utf-8
4586
bytestrings, rather than treating them as Unicode strings. This has
4587
performance benefits for Knits, since we no longer need to decode the
4588
revision id for each line of content, nor for each entry in the index.
4589
This will also help with the future dirstate format.
4590
(John Arbash Meinel)
4591
4592
* Reserved ids (any revision-id ending in a colon) are rejected by
4593
versionedfiles, repositories, branches, and working trees
4594
(Aaron Bentley)
4595
4596
* Minor performance improvement by not creating a ProgressBar for
4597
every KnitIndex we create. (about 90ms for a bzr.dev tree)
4598
(John Arbash Meinel)
4599
4600
* New easier to use Branch hooks facility. There are five initial hooks,
4601
all documented in bzrlib.branch.BranchHooks.__init__ - ``'set_rh'``,
4602
``'post_push'``, ``'post_pull'``, ``'post_commit'``,
4603
``'post_uncommit'``. These hooks fire after the matching operation
4604
on a branch has taken place, and were originally added for the
4605
branchrss plugin. (Robert Collins)
4606
4607
* New method ``Branch.push()`` which should be used when pushing from a
4608
branch as it makes performance and policy decisions to match the UI
4609
level command ``push``. (Robert Collins).
4610
4611
* Add a new method ``Tree.revision_tree`` which allows access to cached
4612
trees for arbitrary revisions. This allows the in development dirstate
4613
tree format to provide access to the callers to cached copies of
4614
inventory data which are cheaper to access than inventories from the
4615
repository.
4616
(Robert Collins, Martin Pool)
4617
4618
* New ``Branch.last_revision_info`` method, this is being done to allow
4619
optimization of requests for both the number of revisions and the last
4620
revision of a branch with smartservers and potentially future branch
4621
formats. (Wouter van Heyst, Robert Collins)
4622
4623
* Allow ``'import bzrlib.plugins.NAME'`` to work when the plugin NAME has not
4624
yet been loaded by ``load_plugins()``. This allows plugins to depend on each
4625
other for code reuse without requiring users to perform file-renaming
4626
gymnastics. (Robert Collins)
4627
4628
* New Repository method ``'gather_stats'`` for statistic data collection.
4629
This is expected to grow to cover a number of related uses mainly
4630
related to bzr info. (Robert Collins)
4631
4632
* Log formatters are now managed with a registry.
4633
``log.register_formatter`` continues to work, but callers accessing
4634
the FORMATTERS dictionary directly will not.
4635
4636
* Allow a start message to be passed to the ``edit_commit_message``
4637
function. This will be placed in the message offered to the user
4638
for editing above the separator. It allows a template commit message
4639
to be used more easily. (James Westby)
4640
4641
* ``GPGStrategy.sign()`` will now raise ``BzrBadParameterUnicode`` if
4642
you pass a Unicode string rather than an 8-bit string. Callers need
4643
to be updated to encode first. (John Arbash Meinel)
4644
4645
* Branch.push, pull, merge now return Result objects with information
4646
about what happened, rather than a scattering of various methods. These
4647
are also passed to the post hooks. (Martin Pool)
4648
4649
* File formats and architecture is in place for managing a forest of trees
4650
in bzr, and splitting up existing trees into smaller subtrees, and
4651
finally joining trees to make a larger tree. This is the first iteration
4652
of this support, and the user-facing aspects still require substantial
4653
work. If you wish to experiment with it, use ``bzr upgrade
4654
--dirstate-with-subtree`` in your working trees and repositories.
4655
You can use the hidden commands ``split`` and ``join`` and to create
4656
and manipulate nested trees, but please consider using the nested-trees
4657
branch, which contains substantial UI improvements, instead.

4659
(Aaron Bentley, Martin Pool, Robert Collins).
4660
4661
BUGFIXES:
4662
4663
* ``bzr annotate`` now uses dotted revnos from the viewpoint of the
4664
branch, rather than the last changed revision of the file.
4665
(John Arbash Meinel, #82158)
4666
4667
* Lock operations no longer hang if they encounter a permission problem.
4668
(Aaron Bentley)
4669
4670
* ``bzr push`` can resume a push that was canceled before it finished.
4671
Also, it can push even if the target directory exists if you supply
4672
the ``--use-existing-dir`` flag.
4673
(John Arbash Meinel, #30576, #45504)
4674
4675
* Fix http proxy authentication when user and an optional
4676
password appears in the ``*_proxy`` vars. (Vincent Ladeuil,
4677
#83954).
4678
4679
* ``bzr log branch/file`` works for local treeless branches
4680
(Aaron Bentley, #84247)
4681
4682
* Fix problem with UNC paths on Windows 98. (Alexander Belchenko, #84728)
4683
4684
* Searching location of CA bundle for PyCurl in env variable
4685
(``CURL_CA_BUNDLE``), and on win32 along the PATH.
4686
(Alexander Belchenko, #82086)
4687
4688
* ``bzr init`` works with unicode argument LOCATION.
4689
(Alexander Belchenko, #85599)
4690
4691
* Raise ``DependencyNotPresent`` if pycurl do not support https.
4692
(Vincent Ladeuil, #85305)
4693
4694
* Invalid proxy env variables should not cause a traceback.
4695
(Vincent Ladeuil, #87765)
4696
4697
* Ignore patterns normalised to use '/' path separator.
4698
(Kent Gibson, #86451)
4699
4700
* bzr rocks. It sure does! Fix case. (Vincent Ladeuil, #78026)
4701
4702
* Fix bzrtools shelve command for removed lines beginning with "--"
4703
(Johan Dahlberg, #75577)
4704
4705
TESTING:
4706
4707
* New ``--first`` option to ``bzr selftest`` to run specified tests
4708
before the rest of the suite. (Martin Pool)

4714
IMPROVEMENTS:
4715
4716
* ``bzr help global-options`` describes the global options. (Aaron Bentley)
4717
4718
BUG FIXES:
4719
4720
* Skip documentation generation tests if the tools to do so are not
4721
available. Fixes running selftest for installled copies of bzr.
4722
(John Arbash Meinel, #80330)
4723
4724
* Fix the code that discovers whether bzr is being run from it's
4725
working tree to handle the case when it isn't but the directory
4726
it is in is below a repository. (James Westby, #77306)

4729
bzr 0.14rc1 2007-01-16
4730
-----------------------
4731
4732
IMPROVEMENTS:
4733
4734
* New connection: ``bzr+http://`` which supports tunnelling the smart
4735
protocol over an HTTP connection. If writing is enabled on the bzr
4736
server, then you can write over the http connection.
4737
(Andrew Bennetts, John Arbash Meinel)
4738
4739
* Aliases now support quotation marks, so they can contain whitespace
4740
(Marius Kruger)
4741
4742
* PyCurlTransport now use a single curl object. By specifying explicitly
4743
the 'Range' header, we avoid the need to use two different curl objects
4744
(and two connections to the same server). (Vincent Ladeuil)
4745
4746
* ``bzr commit`` does not prompt for a message until it is very likely to
4747
succeed. (Aaron Bentley)
4748
4749
* ``bzr conflicts`` now takes --text to list pathnames of text conflicts
4750
(Aaron Bentley)
4751
4752
* Fix ``iter_lines_added_or_present_in_versions`` to use a set instead
4753
of a list while checking if a revision id was requested. Takes 10s
4754
off of the ``fileids_affected_by_revision_ids`` time, which is 10s
4755
of the ``bzr branch`` time. Also improve ``fileids_...`` time by
4756
filtering lines with a regex rather than multiple ``str.find()``
4757
calls. (saves another 300ms) (John Arbash Meinel)
4758
4759
* Policy can be set for each configuration key. This allows keys to be
4760
inherited properly across configuration entries. For example, this
4761
should enable you to do::
4762
4763
[/home/user/project]
4764
push_location = sftp://host/srv/project/
4765
push_location:policy = appendpath
4766
4767
And then a branch like ``/home/user/project/mybranch`` should get an
4768
automatic push location of ``sftp://host/srv/project/mybranch``.
4769
(James Henstridge)
4770
4771
* Added ``bzr status --short`` to make status report svn style flags
4772
for each file. For example::
4773
4774
$ bzr status --short
4775
A foo
4776
A bar
4777
D baz
4778
? wooley
4779
4780
* 'bzr selftest --clean-output' allows easily clean temporary tests
4781
directories without running tests. (Alexander Belchenko)
4782
4783
* ``bzr help hidden-commands`` lists all hidden commands. (Aaron Bentley)
4784
4785
* ``bzr merge`` now has an option ``--pull`` to fall back to pull if
4786
local is fully merged into remote. (Jan Hudec)
4787
4788
* ``bzr help formats`` describes available directory formats. (Aaron Bentley)
4789
4790
INTERNALS:
4791
4792
* A few tweaks directly to ``fileids_affected_by_revision_ids`` to
4793
help speed up processing, as well allowing to extract unannotated
4794
lines. Between the two ``fileids_affected_by_revision_ids`` is
4795
improved by approx 10%. (John Arbash Meinel)
4796
4797
* Change Revision serialization to only write out millisecond
4798
resolution. Rather than expecting floating point serialization to
4799
preserve more resolution than we need. (Henri Weichers, Martin Pool)
4800
4801
* Test suite ends cleanly on Windows. (Vincent Ladeuil)
4802
4803
* When ``encoding_type`` attribute of class Command is equal to 'exact',
4804
force sys.stdout to be a binary stream on Windows, and therefore
4805
keep exact line-endings (without LF -> CRLF conversion).
4806
(Alexander Belchenko)
4807
4808
* Single-letter short options are no longer globally declared. (Martin
4809
Pool)
4810
4811
* Before using detected user/terminal encoding bzr should check
4812
that Python has corresponding codec. (Alexander Belchenko)
4813
4814
* Formats for end-user selection are provided via a FormatRegistry (Aaron Bentley)
4815
4816
BUG FIXES:
4817
4818
* ``bzr missing --verbose`` was showing adds/removals in the wrong
4819
direction. (John Arbash Meinel)
4820
4821
* ``bzr annotate`` now defaults to showing dotted revnos for merged
4822
revisions. It cuts them off at a depth of 12 characters, but you can
4823
supply ``--long`` to see the full number. You can also use
4824
``--show-ids`` to display the original revision ids, rather than
4825
revision numbers and committer names. (John Arbash Meinel, #75637)
4826
4827
* bzr now supports Win32 UNC path (e.g. ``\HOST\path``.
4828
(Alexander Belchenko, #57869)
4829
4830
* Win32-specific: output of cat, bundle and diff commands don't mangle
4831
line-endings (Alexander Belchenko, #55276)
4832
4833
* Replace broken fnmatch based ignore pattern matching with custom pattern
4834
matcher.
4835
(Kent Gibson, Jan Hudec #57637)
4836
4837
* pycurl and urllib can detect short reads at different places. Update
4838
the test suite to test more cases. Also detect http error code 416
4839
which was raised for that specific bug. Also enhance the urllib
4840
robustness by detecting invalid ranges (and pycurl's one by detecting
4841
short reads during the initial GET). (Vincent Ladeuil, #73948)
4842
4843
* The urllib connection sharing interacts badly with urllib2
4844
proxy setting (the connections didn't go thru the proxy
4845
anymore). Defining a proper ProxyHandler solves the
4846
problem. (Vincent Ladeuil, #74759)
4847
4848
* Use urlutils to generate relative URLs, not osutils
4849
(Aaron Bentley, #76229)
4850
4851
* ``bzr status`` in a readonly directory should work without giving
4852
lots of errors. (John Arbash Meinel, #76299)
4853
4854
* Mention the revisionspec topic for the revision option help.
4855
(Wouter van Heyst, #31663)
4856
4857
* Allow plugins import from zip archives.

IMPROVEMENTS:
4870
4871
* New command ``bzr remove-tree`` allows the removal of the working
4872
tree from a branch.
4873
(Daniel Silverstone)
4874
4875
* urllib uses shared keep-alive connections, so http
4876
operations are substantially faster.
4877
(Vincent Ladeuil, #53654)
4878
4879
* ``bzr export`` allows an optional branch parameter, to export a bzr
4880
tree from some other url. For example:
4881
``bzr export bzr.tar.gz http://bazaar-vcs.org/bzr/bzr.dev``
4882
(Daniel Silverstone)
4883
4884
* Added ``bzr help topics`` to the bzr help system. This gives a
4885
location for general information, outside of a specific command.
4886
This includes updates for ``bzr help revisionspec`` the first topic
4887
included. (Goffredo Baroncelli, John Arbash Meinel, #42714)
4888
4889
* WSGI-compatible HTTP smart server. See ``doc/http_smart_server.txt``.
4890
(Andrew Bennetts)
4891
4892
* Knit files will now cache full texts only when the size of the
4893
deltas is as large as the size of the fulltext. (Or after 200
4894
deltas, whichever comes first). This has the most benefit on large
4895
files with small changes, such as the inventory for a large project.
4896
(eg For a project with 2500 files, and 7500 revisions, it changes
4897
the size of inventory.knit from 11MB to 5.4MB) (John Arbash Meinel)
4898
4899
INTERNALS:
4900
4901
* New -D option given before the command line turns on debugging output
4902
for particular areas. -Derror shows tracebacks on all errors.
4903
(Martin Pool)
4904
4905
* Clean up ``bzr selftest --benchmark bundle`` to correct an import,
4906
and remove benchmarks that take longer than 10min to run.
4907
(John Arbash Meinel)
4908
4909
* Use ``time.time()`` instead of ``time.clock()`` to decide on
4910
progress throttling. Because ``time.clock()`` is actually CPU time,
4911
so over a high-latency connection, too many updates get throttled.
4912
(John Arbash Meinel)
4913
4914
* ``MemoryTransport.list_dir()`` would strip the first character for
4915
files or directories in root directory. (John Arbash Meinel)
4916
4917
* New method ``get_branch_reference`` on 'BzrDir' allows the detection of
4918
branch references - which the smart server component needs.
4919
4920
* New ``ChrootTransportDecorator``, accessible via the ``chroot+`` url
4921
prefix. It disallows any access to locations above a set URL. (Andrew
4922
Bennetts)
4923
4924
BUG FIXES:
4925
4926
* Now ``_KnitIndex`` properly decode revision ids when loading index data.
4927
And optimize the knit index parsing code.
4928
(Dmitry Vasiliev, John Arbash Meinel)
4929
4930
* ``bzrlib/bzrdir.py`` was directly referencing ``bzrlib.workingtree``,
4931
without importing it. This prevented ``bzr upgrade`` from working
4932
unless a plugin already imported ``bzrlib.workingtree``
4933
(John Arbash Meinel, #70716)
4934
4935
* Suppress the traceback on invalid URLs (Vincent Ladeuil, #70803).
4936
4937
* Give nicer error message when an http server returns a 403
4938
error code. (Vincent Ladeuil, #57644).
4939
4940
* When a multi-range http GET request fails, try a single
4941
range one. If it fails too, forget about ranges. Remember that until
4942
the death of the transport and propagates that to the clones.
4943
(Vincent Ladeuil, #62276, #62029).
4944
4945
* Handles user/passwords supplied in url from command
4946
line (for the urllib implementation). Don't request already
4947
known passwords (Vincent Ladeuil, #42383, #44647, #48527)
4948
4949
* ``_KnitIndex.add_versions()`` dictionary compresses revision ids as they
4950
are added. This fixes bug where fetching remote revisions records
4951
them as full references rather than integers.
4952
(John Arbash Meinel, #64789)
4953
4954
* ``bzr ignore`` strips trailing slashes in patterns.
4955
Also ``bzr ignore`` rejects absolute paths. (Kent Gibson, #4559)
4956
4957
* ``bzr ignore`` takes multiple arguments. (Cheuksan Edward Wang, #29488)
4958
4959
* mv correctly handles paths that traverse symlinks.
4960
(Aaron Bentley, #66964)
4961
4962
* Give nicer looking error messages when failing to connect over ssh.
4963
(John Arbash Meinel, #49172)
4964
4965
* Pushing to a remote branch does not currently update the remote working
4966
tree. After a remote push, ``bzr status`` and ``bzr diff`` on the remote
4967
machine now show that the working tree is out of date.
4968
(Cheuksan Edward Wang #48136)
4969
4970
* Use patiencediff instead of difflib for determining deltas to insert
4971
into knits. This avoids the O(N^3) behavior of difflib. Patience
4972
diff should be O(N^2). (Cheuksan Edward Wang, #65714)
4973
4974
* Running ``bzr log`` on nonexistent file gives an error instead of the
4975
entire log history. (Cheuksan Edward Wang #50793)
4976
4977
* ``bzr cat`` can look up contents of removed or renamed files. If the
4978
pathname is ambiguous, i.e. the files in the old and new trees have
4979
different id's, the default is the file in the new tree. The user can
4980
use "--name-from-revision" to select the file in the old tree.
4981
(Cheuksan Edward Wang, #30190)
4982
4983
TESTING:
4984
4985
* TestingHTTPRequestHandler really handles the Range header
4986
(previously it was ignoring it and returning the whole file,).

4998
-----------------------

5000
IMPROVEMENTS:
5001
5002
* ``bzr log`` now shows dotted-decimal revision numbers for all revisions,
5003
rather than just showing a decimal revision number for revisions on the
5004
mainline. These revision numbers are not yet accepted as input into bzr
5005
commands such as log, diff etc. (Robert Collins)
5006
5007
* revisions can now be specified using dotted-decimal revision numbers.
5008
For instance, ``bzr diff -r 1.2.1..1.2.3``. (Robert Collins)
5009
5010
* ``bzr help commands`` output is now shorter (Aaron Bentley)
5011
5012
* ``bzr`` now uses lazy importing to reduce the startup time. This has
5013
a moderate effect on lots of actions, especially ones that have
5014
little to do. For example ``bzr rocks`` time is down to 116ms from
5015
283ms. (John Arbash Meinel)
5016
5017
* New Registry class to provide name-to-object registry-like support,
5018
for example for schemes where plugins can register new classes to
5019
do certain tasks (e.g. log formatters). Also provides lazy registration
5020
to allow modules to be loaded on request.
5021
(John Arbash Meinel, Adeodato Simó)
5022
5023
API INCOMPATABILITY:
5024
5025
* LogFormatter subclasses show now expect the 'revno' parameter to
5026
show() to be a string rather than an int. (Robert Collins)
5027
5028
INTERNALS:
5029
5030
* ``TestCase.run_bzr``, ``run_bzr_captured``, and ``run_bzr_subprocess``
5031
can take a ``working_dir='foo'`` parameter, which will change directory
5032
for the command. (John Arbash Meinel)
5033
5034
* ``bzrlib.lazy_regex.lazy_compile`` can be used to create a proxy
5035
around a regex, which defers compilation until first use.
5036
(John Arbash Meinel)
5037
5038
* ``TestCase.run_bzr_subprocess`` defaults to supplying the
5039
``--no-plugins`` parameter to ensure test reproducability, and avoid
5040
problems with system-wide installed plugins. (John Arbash Meinel)
5041
5042
* Unique tree root ids are now supported. Newly created trees still
5043
use the common root id for compatibility with bzr versions before 0.12.
5044
(Aaron Bentley)
5045
5046
* ``WorkingTree.set_root_id(None)`` is now deprecated. Please
5047
pass in ``inventory.ROOT_ID`` if you want the default root id value.
5048
(Robert Collins, John Arbash Meinel)
5049
5050
* New method ``WorkingTree.flush()`` which will write the current memory
5051
inventory out to disk. At the same time, ``read_working_inventory`` will
5052
no longer trash the current tree inventory if it has been modified within
5053
the current lock, and the tree will now ``flush()`` automatically on
5054
``unlock()``. ``WorkingTree.set_root_id()`` has been updated to take
5055
advantage of this functionality. (Robert Collins, John Arbash Meinel)
5056
5057
* ``bzrlib.tsort.merge_sorted`` now accepts ``generate_revnos``. This
5058
parameter will cause it to add another column to its output, which
5059
contains the dotted-decimal revno for each revision, as a tuple.
5060
(Robert Collins)
5061
5062
* ``LogFormatter.show_merge`` is deprecated in favour of
5063
``LogFormatter.show_merge_revno``. (Robert Collins)
5064
5065
BUG FIXES:
5066
5067
* Avoid circular imports by creating a deprecated function for
5068
``bzrlib.tree.RevisionTree``. Callers should have been using
5069
``bzrlib.revisontree.RevisionTree`` anyway. (John Arbash Meinel,
5070
#63360, #66349)
5071
5072
* Don't use ``socket.MSG_WAITALL`` as it doesn't exist on all
5073
platforms. (Martin Pool, #66356)
5074
5075
* Don't require ``Content-Type`` in range responses. Assume they are a
5076
single range if ``Content-Type`` does not exist.
5077
(John Arbash Meinel, #62473)
5078
5079
* bzr branch/pull no longer complain about progress bar cleanup when
5080
interrupted during fetch. (Aaron Bentley, #54000)
5081
5082
* ``WorkingTree.set_parent_trees()`` uses the trees to directly write
5083
the basis inventory, rather than going through the repository. This
5084
allows us to have 1 inventory read, and 2 inventory writes when
5085
committing a new tree. (John Arbash Meinel)
5086
5087
* When reverting, files that are not locally modified that do not exist
5088
in the target are deleted, not just unversioned (Aaron Bentley)
5089
5090
* When trying to acquire a lock, don't fail immediately. Instead, try
5091
a few times (up to 1 hour) before timing out. Also, report why the
5092
lock is unavailable (John Arbash Meinel, #43521, #49556)
5093
5094
* Leave HttpTransportBase daughter classes decides how they
5095
implement cloning. (Vincent Ladeuil, #61606)
5096
5097
* diff3 does not indicate conflicts on clean merge. (Aaron Bentley)
5098
5099
* If a commit fails, the commit message is stored in a file at the root of
5100
the tree for later commit. (Cheuksan Edward Wang, Stefan Metzmacher,
5101
#32054)
5102
5103
TESTING:
5104
5105
* New test base class TestCaseWithMemoryTransport offers memory-only
5106
testing facilities: its not suitable for tests that need to mutate disk
5107
state, but most tests should not need that and should be converted to
5108
TestCaseWithMemoryTransport. (Robert Collins)
5109
5110
* ``TestCase.make_branch_and_memory_tree`` now takes a format
5111
option to set the BzrDir, Repository and Branch formats of the
5112
created objects. (Robert Collins, John Arbash Meinel)
5113
5114
bzr 0.11 2006-10-02
5115
--------------------
5116
5117
* Smart server transport test failures on windows fixed. (Lukáš Lalinský).
5118
5119
bzr 0.11rc2 2006-09-27
5120
-----------------------
5121
5122
BUG FIXES:
5123
5124
* Test suite hangs on windows fixed. (Andrew Bennets, Alexander Belchenko).
5125
5126
* Commit performance regression fixed. (Aaron Bentley, Robert Collins, John
5127
Arbash Meinel).
5128
5129
bzr 0.11rc1 2006-09-25
5130
-----------------------
5131
5132
IMPROVEMENTS:
5133
5134
* Knit files now wait to create their contents until the first data is
5135
added. The old code used to create an empty .knit and a .kndx with just
5136
the header. However, this caused a lot of extra round trips over sftp.
5137
This can change the time for ``bzr push`` to create a new remote branch
5138
from 160s down to 100s. This also affects ``bzr commit`` performance when
5139
adding new files, ``bzr commit`` on a new kernel-like tree drops from 50s
5140
down to 40s (John Arbash Meinel, #44692)
5141
5142
* When an entire subtree has been deleted, commit will now report that
5143
just the top of the subtree has been deleted, rather than reporting
5144
all the individual items. (Robert Collins)
5145
5146
* Commit performs one less XML parse. (Robert Collins)
5147
5148
* ``bzr checkout`` now operates on readonly branches as well
5149
as readwrite branches. This fixes bug #39542. (Robert Collins)
5150
5151
* ``bzr bind`` no longer synchronises history with the master branch.
5152
Binding should be followed by an update or push to synchronise the
5153
two branches. This is closely related to the fix for bug #39542.
5154
(Robert Collins)
5155
5156
* ``bzrlib.lazy_import.lazy_import`` function to create on-demand
5157
objects. This allows all imports to stay at the global scope, but
5158
modules will not actually be imported if they are not used.
5159
(John Arbash Meinel)
5160
5161
* Support ``bzr://`` and ``bzr+ssh://`` urls to work with the new RPC-based
5162
transport which will be used with the upcoming high-performance smart
5163
server. The new command ``bzr serve`` will invoke bzr in server mode,
5164
which processes these requests. (Andrew Bennetts, Robert Collins, Martin
5165
Pool)
5166
5167
* New command ``bzr version-info`` which can be used to get a summary
5168
of the current state of the tree. This is especially useful as part
5169
of a build commands. See ``doc/version_info.txt`` for more information
5170
(John Arbash Meinel)
5171
5172
BUG FIXES:
5173
5174
* ``'bzr inventory [FILE...]'`` allows restricting the file list to a
5175
specific set of files. (John Arbash Meinel, #3631)
5176
5177
* Don't abort when annotating empty files (John Arbash Meinel, #56814)
5178
5179
* Add ``Stanza.to_unicode()`` which can be passed to another Stanza
5180
when nesting stanzas. Also, add ``read_stanza_unicode`` to handle when
5181
reading a nested Stanza. (John Arbash Meinel)
5182
5183
* Transform._set_mode() needs to stat the right file.
5184
(John Arbash Meinel, #56549)
5185
5186
* Raise WeaveFormatError rather than StopIteration when trying to read
5187
an empty Weave file. (John Arbash Meinel, #46871)
5188
5189
* Don't access e.code for generic URLErrors, only HTTPErrors have .code.
5190
(Vincent Ladeuil, #59835)
5191
5192
* Handle boundary="" lines properly to allow access through a Squid proxy.
5193
(John Arbash Meinel, #57723)
5194
5195
* revert now removes newly-added directories (Aaron Bentley, #54172)
5196
5197
* ``bzr upgrade sftp://`` shouldn't fail to upgrade v6 branches if there
5198
isn't a working tree. (David Allouche, #40679)
5199
5200
* Give nicer error messages when a user supplies an invalid --revision
5201
parameter. (John Arbash Meinel, #55420)
5202
5203
* Handle when LANG is not recognized by python. Emit a warning, but
5204
just revert to using 'ascii'. (John Arbash Meinel, #35392)
5205
5206
* Don't use ``preexec_fn`` on win32, as it is not supported by subprocess.
5207
(John Arbash Meinel)
5208
5209
* Skip specific tests when the dependencies aren't met. This includes
5210
some ``setup.py`` tests when ``python-dev`` is not available, and
5211
some tests that depend on paramiko. (John Arbash Meinel, Mattheiu Moy)
5212
5213
* Fallback to Paramiko properly, if no ``ssh`` executable exists on
5214
the system. (Andrew Bennetts, John Arbash Meinel)
5215
5216
* ``Branch.bind(other_branch)`` no longer takes a write lock on the
5217
other branch, and will not push or pull between the two branches.
5218
API users will need to perform a push or pull or update operation if they
5219
require branch synchronisation to take place. (Robert Collins, #47344)
5220
5221
* When creating a tarball or zipfile export, export unicode names as utf-8
5222
paths. This may not work perfectly on all platforms, but has the best
5223
chance of working in the common case. (John Arbash Meinel, #56816)
5224
5225
* When committing, only files that exist in working tree or basis tree
5226
may be specified (Aaron Bentley, #50793)
5227
5228
PORTABILITY:
5229
5230
* Fixes to run on Python 2.5 (Brian M. Carlson, Martin Pool, Marien Zwart)
5231
5232
INTERNALS:
5233
5234
* TestCaseInTempDir now creates a separate directory for HOME, rather
5235
than having HOME set to the same location as the working directory.
5236
(John Arbash Meinel)
5237
5238
* ``run_bzr_subprocess()`` can take an optional ``env_changes={}`` parameter,
5239
which will update os.environ inside the spawned child. It also can
5240
take a ``universal_newlines=True``, which helps when checking the output
5241
of the command. (John Arbash Meinel)
5242
5243
* Refactor SFTP vendors to allow easier re-use when ssh is used.
5244
(Andrew Bennetts)
5245
5246
* ``Transport.list_dir()`` and ``Transport.iter_files_recursive()`` should always
5247
return urlescaped paths. This is now tested (there were bugs in a few
5248
of the transports) (Andrew Bennetts, David Allouche, John Arbash Meinel)
5249
5250
* New utility function ``symbol_versioning.deprecation_string``. Returns the
5251
formatted string for a callable, deprecation format pair. (Robert Collins)
5252
5253
* New TestCase helper applyDeprecated. This allows you to call a callable
5254
which is deprecated without it spewing to the screen, just by supplying
5255
the deprecation format string issued for it. (Robert Collins)
5256
5257
* Transport.append and Transport.put have been deprecated in favor of
5258
``.append_bytes``, ``.append_file``, ``.put_bytes``, and
5259
``.put_file``. This removes the ambiguity in what type of object the
5260
functions take. ``Transport.non_atomic_put_{bytes,file}`` has also
5261
been added. Which works similarly to ``Transport.append()`` except for
5262
SFTP, it doesn't have a round trip when opening the file. Also, it
5263
provides functionality for creating a parent directory when trying
5264
to create a file, rather than raise NoSuchFile and forcing the
5265
caller to repeat their request.
5266
(John Arbash Meinel)
5267
5268
* WorkingTree has a new api ``unversion`` which allow the unversioning of
5269
entries by their file id. (Robert Collins)
5270
5271
* ``WorkingTree.pending_merges`` is deprecated. Please use the
5272
``get_parent_ids`` (introduced in 0.10) method instead. (Robert Collins)
5273
5274
* WorkingTree has a new ``lock_tree_write`` method which locks the branch for
5275
read rather than write. This is appropriate for actions which only need
5276
the branch data for reference rather than mutation. A new decorator
5277
``needs_tree_write_lock`` is provided in the workingtree module. Like the
5278
``needs_read_lock`` and ``needs_write_lock`` decorators this allows static
5279
declaration of the locking requirements of a function to ensure that
5280
a lock is taken out for casual scripts. (Robert Collins, #54107)
5281
5282
* All WorkingTree methods which write to the tree, but not to the branch
5283
have been converted to use ``needs_tree_write_lock`` rather than
5284
``needs_write_lock``. Also converted is the revert, conflicts and tree
5285
transform modules. This provides a modest performance improvement on
5286
metadir style trees, due to the reduce lock-acquisition, and a more
5287
significant performance improvement on lightweight checkouts from
5288
remote branches, where trivial operations used to pay a significant
5289
penalty. It also provides the basis for allowing readonly checkouts.
5290
(Robert Collins)
5291
5292
* Special case importing the standard library 'copy' module. This shaves
5293
off 40ms of startup time, while retaining compatibility. See:
5294
``bzrlib/inspect_for_copy.py`` for more details. (John Arbash Meinel)
5295
5296
* WorkingTree has a new parent class MutableTree which represents the
5297
specialisations of Tree which are able to be altered. (Robert Collins)
5298
5299
* New methods mkdir and ``put_file_bytes_non_atomic`` on MutableTree that
5300
mutate the tree and its contents. (Robert Collins)
5301
5302
* Transport behaviour at the root of the URL is now defined and tested.
5303
(Andrew Bennetts, Robert Collins)
5304
5305
TESTING:
5306
5307
* New test helper classs MemoryTree. This is typically accessed via
5308
``self.make_branch_and_memory_tree()`` in test cases. (Robert Collins)
5309
5310
* Add ``start_bzr_subprocess`` and ``stop_bzr_subprocess`` to allow test
5311
code to continue running concurrently with a subprocess of bzr.
5312
(Andrew Bennetts, Robert Collins)
5313
5314
* Add a new method ``Transport.get_smart_client()``. This is provided to
5315
allow upgrades to a richer interface than the VFS one provided by
5316
Transport. (Andrew Bennetts, Martin Pool)
5317
5318
bzr 0.10 2006-08-29
5319
--------------------
5320
5321
IMPROVEMENTS:
5322
* 'merge' now takes --uncommitted, to apply uncommitted changes from a
5323
tree. (Aaron Bentley)
5324
5325
* 'bzr add --file-ids-from' can be used to specify another path to use
5326
for creating file ids, rather than generating all new ones. Internally,
5327
the 'action' passed to ``smart_add_tree()`` can return ``file_ids`` that
5328
will be used, rather than having bzrlib generate new ones.
5329
(John Arbash Meinel, #55781)
5330
5331
* ``bzr selftest --benchmark`` now allows a ``--cache-dir`` parameter.
5332
This will cache some of the intermediate trees, and decrease the
5333
setup time for benchmark tests. (John Arbash Meinel)
5334
5335
* Inverse forms are provided for all boolean options. For example,
5336
--strict has --no-strict, --no-recurse has --recurse (Aaron Bentley)
5337
5338
* Serialize out Inventories directly, rather than using ElementTree.
5339
Writing out a kernel sized inventory drops from 2s down to ~350ms.
5340
(Robert Collins, John Arbash Meinel)
5341
5342
BUG FIXES:
5343
5344
* Help diffutils 2.8.4 get along with binary tests (Marien Zwart: #57614)
5345
5346
* Change LockDir so that if the lock directory doesn't exist when
5347
``lock_write()`` is called, an attempt will be made to create it.
5348
(John Arbash Meinel, #56974)
5349
5350
* ``bzr uncommit`` preserves pending merges. (John Arbash Meinel, #57660)
5351
5352
* Active FTP transport now works as intended. (ghozzy, #56472)
5353
5354
* Really fix mutter() so that it won't ever raise a UnicodeError.
5355
It means it is possible for ~/.bzr.log to contain non UTF-8 characters.
5356
But it is a debugging log, not a real user file.
5357
(John Arbash Meinel, #56947, #53880)
5358
5359
* Change Command handle to allow Unicode command and options.
5360
At present we cannot register Unicode command names, so we will get
5361
BzrCommandError('unknown command'), or BzrCommandError('unknown option')
5362
But that is better than a UnicodeError + a traceback.
5363
(John Arbash Meinel, #57123)
5364
5365
* Handle TZ=UTC properly when reading/writing revisions.
5366
(John Arbash Meinel, #55783, #56290)
5367
5368
* Use ``GPG_TTY`` to allow gpg --cl to work with gpg-agent in a pipeline,
5369
(passing text to sign in on stdin). (John Arbash Meinel, #54468)
5370
5371
* External diff does the right thing for binaries even in foreign
5372
languages. (John Arbash Meinel, #56307)
5373
5374
* Testament handles more cases when content is unicode. Specific bug was
5375
in handling of revision properties.
5376
(John Arbash Meinel, Holger Krekel, #54723)
5377
5378
* The bzr selftest was failing on installed versions due to a bug in a new
5379
test helper. (John Arbash Meinel, Robert Collins, #58057)
5380
5381
INTERNALS:
5382
5383
* ``bzrlib.cache_utf8`` contains ``encode()`` and ``decode()`` functions
5384
which can be used to cache the conversion between utf8 and Unicode.
5385
Especially helpful for some of the knit annotation code, which has to
5386
convert revision ids to utf8 to annotate lines in storage.
5387
(John Arbash Meinel)
5388
5389
* ``setup.py`` now searches the filesystem to find all packages which
5390
need to be installed. This should help make the life of packagers
5391
easier. (John Arbash Meinel)
5392
5393
bzr 0.9.0 2006-08-11
5394
---------------------
5395
5396
SURPRISES:
5397
5398
* The hard-coded built-in ignore rules have been removed. There are
5399
now two rulesets which are enforced. A user global one in
5400
``~/.bazaar/ignore`` which will apply to every tree, and the tree
5401
specific one '.bzrignore'.
5402
``~/.bazaar/ignore`` will be created if it does not exist, but with
5403
a more conservative list than the old default.
5404
This fixes bugs with default rules being enforced no matter what.
5405
The old list of ignore rules from bzr is available by
5406
running 'bzr ignore --old-default-rules'.
5407
(Robert Collins, Martin Pool, John Arbash Meinel)
5408
5409
* 'branches.conf' has been changed to 'locations.conf', since it can apply
5410
to more locations than just branch locations.
5411
(Aaron Bentley)
5412
5413
IMPROVEMENTS:
5414
5415
* The revision specifier "revno:" is extended to accept the syntax
5416
revno:N:branch. For example,
5417
revno:42:http://bazaar-vcs.org/bzr/bzr.dev/ means revision 42 in
5418
bzr.dev. (Matthieu Moy)
5419
5420
* Tests updates to ensure proper URL handling, UNICODE support, and
5421
proper printing when the user's terminal encoding cannot display
5422
the path of a file that has been versioned.
5423
``bzr branch`` can take a target URL rather than only a local directory.
5424
``Branch.get_parent()/set_parent()`` now save a relative path if possible,
5425
and normalize the parent based on root, allowing access across
5426
different transports. (John Arbash Meinel, Wouter van Heyst, Martin Pool)
5427
(Malone #48906, #42699, #40675, #5281, #3980, #36363, #43689,
5428
#42517, #42514)
5429
5430
* On Unix, detect terminal width using an ioctl not just $COLUMNS.
5431
Use terminal width for single-line logs from ``bzr log --line`` and
5432
pending-merge display. (Robert Widhopf-Fenk, Gustavo Niemeyer)
5433
(Malone #3507)
5434
5435
* On Windows, detect terminal width using GetConsoleScreenBufferInfo.
5436
(Alexander Belchenko)
5437
5438
* Speedup improvement for 'date:'-revision search. (Guillaume Pinot).
5439
5440
* Show the correct number of revisions pushed when pushing a new branch.
5441
(Robert Collins).
5442
5443
* 'bzr selftest' now shows a progress bar with the number of tests, and
5444
progress made. 'make check' shows tests in -v mode, to be more useful
5445
for the PQM status window. (Robert Collins).
5446
When using a progress bar, failed tests are printed out, rather than
5447
being overwritten by the progress bar until the suite finishes.
5448
(John Arbash Meinel)
5449
5450
* 'bzr selftest --benchmark' will run a new benchmarking selftest.
5451
'bzr selftest --benchmark --lsprof-timed' will use lsprofile to generate
5452
profile data for the individual profiled calls, allowing for fine
5453
grained analysis of performance.
5454
(Robert Collins, Martin Pool).
5455
5456
* 'bzr commit' shows a progress bar. This is useful for commits over sftp
5457
where commit can take an appreciable time. (Robert Collins)
5458
5459
* 'bzr add' is now less verbose in telling you what ignore globs were
5460
matched by files being ignored. Instead it just tells you how many
5461
were ignored (because you might reasonably be expecting none to be
5462
ignored). 'bzr add -v' is unchanged and will report every ignored
5463
file. (Robert Collins).
5464
5465
* ftp now has a test server if medusa is installed. As part of testing,
5466
ftp support has been improved, including support for supplying a
5467
non-standard port. (John Arbash Meinel).
5468
5469
* 'bzr log --line' shows the revision number, and uses only the
5470
first line of the log message (#5162, Alexander Belchenko;
5471
Matthieu Moy)
5472
5473
* 'bzr status' has had the --all option removed. The 'bzr ls' command
5474
should be used to retrieve all versioned files. (Robert Collins)
5475
5476
* 'bzr bundle OTHER/BRANCH' will create a bundle which can be sent
5477
over email, and applied on the other end, while maintaining ancestry.
5478
This bundle can be applied with either 'bzr merge' or 'bzr pull',
5479
the same way you would apply another branch.
5480
(John Arbash Meinel, Aaron Bentley)
5481
5482
* 'bzr whoami' can now be used to set your identity from the command line,
5483
for a branch or globally. (Robey Pointer)
5484
5485
* 'bzr checkout' now aliased to 'bzr co', and 'bzr annotate' to 'bzr ann'.
5486
(Michael Ellerman)
5487
5488
* 'bzr revert DIRECTORY' now reverts the contents of the directory as well.
5489
(Aaron Bentley)
5490
5491
* 'bzr get sftp://foo' gives a better error when paramiko is not present.
5492
Also updates things like 'http+pycurl://' if pycurl is not present.
5493
(John Arbash Meinel) (Malone #47821, #52204)
5494
5495
* New env variable ``BZR_PROGRESS_BAR``, sets the default progress bar type.
5496
Can be set to 'none' or 'dummy' to disable the progress bar, 'dots' or
5497
'tty' to create the respective type. (John Arbash Meinel, #42197, #51107)
5498
5499
* Improve the help text for 'bzr diff' to explain what various options do.
5500
(John Arbash Meinel, #6391)
5501
5502
* 'bzr uncommit -r 10' now uncommits revisions 11.. rather than uncommitting
5503
revision 10. This makes -r10 more in line with what other commands do.
5504
'bzr uncommit' also now saves the pending merges of the revisions that
5505
were removed. So it is safe to uncommit after a merge, fix something,
5506
and commit again. (John Arbash Meinel, #32526, #31426)
5507
5508
* 'bzr init' now also works on remote locations.
5509
(Wouter van Heyst, #48904)
5510
5511
* HTTP support has been updated. When using pycurl we now support
5512
connection keep-alive, which reduces dns requests and round trips.
5513
And for both urllib and pycurl we support multi-range requests,
5514
which decreases the number of round-trips. Performance results for
5515
``bzr branch http://bazaar-vcs.org/bzr/bzr.dev/`` indicate
5516
http branching is now 2-3x faster, and ``bzr pull`` in an existing
5517
branch is as much as 4x faster.
5518
(Michael Ellerman, Johan Rydberg, John Arbash Meinel, #46768)
5519
5520
* Performance improvements for sftp. Branching and pulling are now up to
5521
2x faster. Utilize paramiko.readv() support for async requests if it
5522
is available (paramiko > 1.6) (John Arbash Meinel)
5523
5524
BUG FIXES:
5525
5526
* Fix shadowed definition of TestLocationConfig that caused some
5527
tests not to run.
5528
(Erik Bågfors, Michael Ellerman, Martin Pool, #32587)
5529
5530
* Fix unnecessary requirement of sign-my-commits that it be run from
5531
a working directory. (Martin Pool, Robert Collins)
5532
5533
* 'bzr push location' will only remember the push location if it succeeds
5534
in connecting to the remote location. (John Arbash Meinel, #49742)
5535
5536
* 'bzr revert' no longer toggles the executable bit on win32
5537
(John Arbash Meinel, #45010)
5538
5539
* Handle broken pipe under win32 correctly. (John Arbash Meinel)
5540
5541
* sftp tests now work correctly on win32 if you have a newer paramiko
5542
(John Arbash Meinel)
5543
5544
* Cleanup win32 test suite, and general cleanup of places where
5545
file handles were being held open. (John Arbash Meinel)
5546
5547
* When specifying filenames for 'diff -r x..y', the name of the file in the
5548
working directory can be used, even if its name is different in both x
5549
and y.
5550
5551
* File-ids containing single- or double-quotes are handled correctly by
5552
push. (Aaron Bentley, #52227)
5553
5554
* Normalize unicode filenames to ensure cross-platform consistency.
5555
(John Arbash Meinel, #43689)
5556
5557
* The argument parser can now handle '-' as an argument. Currently
5558
no code interprets it specially (it is mostly handled as a file named
5559
'-'). But plugins, and future operations can use it.
5560
(John Arbash meinel, #50984)
5561
5562
* Bundles can properly read binary files with a plain '\r' in them.
5563
(John Arbash Meinel, #51927)
5564
5565
* Tuning ``iter_entries()`` to be more efficient (John Arbash Meinel, #5444)
5566
5567
* Lots of win32 fixes (the test suite passes again).
5568
(John Arbash Meinel, #50155)
5569
5570
* Handle openbsd returning None for sys.getfilesystemencoding() (#41183)
5571
5572
* Support ftp APPE (append) to allow Knits to be used over ftp (#42592)
5573
5574
* Removals are only committed if they match the filespec (or if there is
5575
no filespec). (#46635, Aaron Bentley)
5576
5577
* smart-add recurses through all supplied directories
5578
(John Arbash Meinel, #52578)
5579
5580
* Make the bundle reader extra lines before and after the bundle text.
5581
This allows you to parse an email with the bundle inline.
5582
(John Arbash Meinel, #49182)
5583
5584
* Change the file id generator to squash a little bit more. Helps when
5585
working with long filenames on windows. (Also helps for unicode filenames
5586
not generating hidden files). (John Arbash Meinel, #43801)
5587
5588
* Restore terminal mode on C-c while reading sftp password. (#48923,
5589
Nicholas Allen, Martin Pool)
5590
5591
* Timestamps are rounded to 1ms, and revision entries can be recreated
5592
exactly. (John Arbash Meinel, Jamie Wilkinson, #40693)
5593
5594
* Branch.base has changed to a URL, but ~/.bazaar/locations.conf should
5595
use local paths, since it is user visible (John Arbash Meinel, #53653)
5596
5597
* ``bzr status foo`` when foo was unversioned used to cause a full delta
5598
to be generated (John Arbash Meinel, #53638)
5599
5600
* When reading revision properties, an empty value should be considered
5601
the empty string, not None (John Arbash Meinel, #47782)
5602
5603
* ``bzr diff --diff-options`` can now handle binary files being changed.
5604
Also, the output is consistent when --diff-options is not supplied.
5605
(John Arbash Meinel, #54651, #52930)
5606
5607
* Use the right suffixes for loading plugins (John Arbash Meinel, #51810)
5608
5609
* Fix ``Branch.get_parent()`` to handle the case when the parent is not
5610
accessible (John Arbash Meinel, #52976)
5611
5612
INTERNALS:
5613
5614
* Combine the ignore rules into a single regex rather than looping over
5615
them to reduce the threshold where N^2 behaviour occurs in operations
5616
like status. (Jan Hudec, Robert Collins).
5617
5618
* Appending to ``bzrlib.DEFAULT_IGNORE`` is now deprecated. Instead, use
5619
one of the add functions in bzrlib.ignores. (John Arbash Meinel)
5620
5621
* 'bzr push' should only push the ancestry of the current revision, not
5622
all of the history in the repository. This is especially important for
5623
shared repositories. (John Arbash Meinel)
5624
5625
* ``bzrlib.delta.compare_trees`` now iterates in alphabetically sorted order,
5626
rather than randomly walking the inventories. (John Arbash Meinel)
5627
5628
* Doctests are now run in temporary directories which are cleaned up when
5629
they finish, rather than using special ScratchDir/ScratchBranch objects.
5630
(Martin Pool)
5631
5632
* Split ``check`` into separate methods on the branch and on the repository,
5633
so that it can be specialized in ways that are useful or efficient for
5634
different formats. (Martin Pool, Robert Collins)
5635
5636
* Deprecate ``Repository.all_revision_ids``; most methods don't really need
5637
the global revision graph but only that part leading up to a particular
5638
revision. (Martin Pool, Robert Collins)
5639
5640
* Add a BzrDirFormat ``control_formats`` list which allows for control formats
5641
that do not use '.bzr' to store their data - i.e. '.svn', '.hg' etc.
5642
(Robert Collins, Jelmer Vernooij).
5643
5644
* ``bzrlib.diff.external_diff`` can be redirected to any file-like object.
5645
Uses subprocess instead of spawnvp.
5646
(James Henstridge, John Arbash Meinel, #4047, #48914)
5647
5648
* New command line option '--profile-imports', which will install a custom
5649
importer to log time to import modules and regex compilation time to
5650
sys.stderr (John Arbash Meinel)
5651
5652
* 'EmptyTree' is now deprecated, please use ``repository.revision_tree(None)``
5653
instead. (Robert Collins)
5654
5655
* "RevisionTree" is now in bzrlib/revisiontree.py. (Robert Collins)

5670
Robert Collins, Erik Bågfors, #43959)
5671
5672
* Nicer messages from 'commit' in the case of renames, and correct
5673
messages when a merge has occured. (Robert Collins, Martin Pool)
5674
5675
* Separate functionality from assert statements as they are skipped in
5676
optimized mode of python. Add the same check to pending merges.

CHANGES:
5689
5690
* Make editor invocation comply with Debian Policy. First check
5691

5693
list of editors. (Olaf Conradi, #42904)
5694
5695
NEW FEATURES:
5696
5697
* New 'register-branch' command registers a public branch into

5712
bzr 0.8 2006-05-08
5713
-------------------
5714
5715
NOTES WHEN UPGRADING:
5716
5717
Release 0.8 of bzr introduces a new format for history storage, called
5718
'knit', as an evolution of to the 'weave' format used in 0.7. Local
5719
and remote operations are faster using knits than weaves. Several
5720
operations including 'init', 'init-repo', and 'upgrade' take a
5721
--format option that controls this. Branching from an existing branch
5722
will keep the same format.
5723
5724
It is possible to merge, pull and push between branches of different
5725
formats but this is slower than moving data between homogenous
5726
branches. It is therefore recommended (but not required) that you
5727
upgrade all branches for a project at the same time. Information on
5728
formats is shown by 'bzr info'.
5729
5730
bzr 0.8 now allows creation of 'repositories', which hold the history
5731
of files and revisions for several branches. Previously bzr kept all
5732
the history for a branch within the .bzr directory at the root of the
5733
branch, and this is still the default. To create a repository, use
5734
the new 'bzr init-repo' command. Branches exist as directories under
5735
the repository and contain just a small amount of information
5736
indicating the current revision of the branch.
5737
5738
bzr 0.8 also supports 'checkouts', which are similar to in cvs and
5739
subversion. Checkouts are associated with a branch (optionally in a
5740
repository), which contains all the historical information. The
5741
result is that a checkout can be deleted without losing any
5742
already-committed revisions. A new 'update' command is also available.
5743
5744
Repositories and checkouts are not supported with the 0.7 storage
5745
format. To use them you must upgrad to either knits, or to the
5746
'metaweave' format, which uses weaves but changes the .bzr directory
5747
arrangement.
5748
5749
5750
IMPROVEMENTS:
5751
5752
* Sftp paths can now be relative, or local, according to the lftp
5753
convention. Paths now take the form::
5754
5755
sftp://user:pass@host:port/~/relative/path
5756
or
5757
sftp://user:pass@host:port/absolute/path
5758
5759
* The FTP transport now tries to reconnect after a temporary
5760
failure. ftp put is made atomic. (Matthieu Moy)
5761
5762
* The FTP transport now maintains a pool of connections, and
5763
reuses them to avoid multiple connections to the same host (like
5764
sftp did). (Daniel Silverstone)
5765
5766
* The ``bzr_man.py`` file has been removed. To create the man page now,
5767
use ``./generate_docs.py man``. The new program can also create other files.
5768
Run ``python generate_docs.py --help`` for usage information.
5769
(Hans Ulrich Niedermann & James Blackwell).
5770
5771
* Man Page now gives full help (James Blackwell).
5772
Help also updated to reflect user config now being stored in .bazaar
5773
(Hans Ulrich Niedermann)
5774
5775
* It's now possible to set aliases in bazaar.conf (Erik Bågfors)
5776
5777
* Pull now accepts a --revision argument (Erik Bågfors)
5778
5779
* ``bzr re-sign`` now allows multiple revisions to be supplied on the command
5780
line. You can now use the following command to sign all of your old
5781
commits::
5782
5783
find .bzr/revision-store// -name my@email-* \
5784
| sed 's/.*\/\/..\///' \
5785
| xargs bzr re-sign
5786
5787
* Upgrade can now upgrade over the network. (Robert Collins)
5788
5789
* Two new commands 'bzr checkout' and 'bzr update' allow for CVS/SVN-alike
5790
behaviour. By default they will cache history in the checkout, but
5791
with --lightweight almost all data is kept in the master branch.
5792
(Robert Collins)
5793
5794
* 'revert' unversions newly-versioned files, instead of deleting them.
5795
5796
* 'merge' is more robust. Conflict messages have changed.
5797
5798
* 'merge' and 'revert' no longer clobber existing files that end in '~' or
5799
'.moved'.
5800
5801
* Default log format can be set in configuration and plugins can register
5802
their own formatters. (Erik Bågfors)
5803
5804
* New 'reconcile' command will check branch consistency and repair indexes
5805
that can become out of sync in pre 0.8 formats. (Robert Collins,
5806
Daniel Silverstone)
5807
5808
* New 'bzr init --format' and 'bzr upgrade --format' option to control
5809
what storage format is created or produced. (Robert Collins,
5810
Martin Pool)
5811
5812
* Add parent location to 'bzr info', if there is one. (Olaf Conradi)
5813
5814
* New developer commands 'weave-list' and 'weave-join'. (Martin Pool)
5815
5816
* New 'init-repository' command, plus support for repositories in 'init'
5817
and 'branch' (Aaron Bentley, Erik Bågfors, Robert Collins)
5818
5819
* Improve output of 'info' command. Show all relevant locations related to
5820
working tree, branch and repository. Use kibibytes for binary quantities.
5821
Fix off-by-one error in missing revisions of working tree. Make 'info'
5822
work on branches, repositories and remote locations. Show locations
5823
relative to the shared repository, if applicable. Show locking status
5824
of locations. (Olaf Conradi)
5825
5826
* Diff and merge now safely handle binary files. (Aaron Bentley)
5827
5828
* 'pull' and 'push' now normalise the revision history, so that any two
5829
branches with the same tip revision will have the same output from 'log'.
5830
(Robert Collins)
5831
5832
* 'merge' accepts --remember option to store parent location, like 'push'
5833
and 'pull'. (Olaf Conradi)
5834
5835
* bzr status and diff when files given as arguments do not exist
5836
in the relevant trees. (Martin Pool, #3619)
5837
5838
* Add '.hg' to the default ignore list. (Martin Pool)
5839
5840
* 'knit' is now the default disk format. This improves disk performance and
5841
utilization, increases incremental pull performance, robustness with SFTP
5842
and allows checkouts over SFTP to perform acceptably.
5843
The initial Knit code was contributed by Johan Rydberg based on a
5844
specification by Martin Pool.
5845
(Robert Collins, Aaron Bentley, Johan Rydberg, Martin Pool).
5846
5847
* New tool to generate all-in-one html version of the manual. (Alexander
5848
Belchenko)
5849
5850
* Hitting CTRL-C while doing an SFTP push will no longer cause stale locks
5851
to be left in the SFTP repository. (Robert Collins, Martin Pool).
5852
5853
* New option 'diff --prefix' to control how files are named in diff
5854
output, with shortcuts '-p0' and '-p1' corresponding to the options for
5855
GNU patch. (Alexander Belchenko, Goffredo Baroncelli, Martin Pool)
5856
5857
* Add --revision option to 'annotate' command. (Olaf Conradi)
5858
5859
* If bzr shows an unexpected revision-history after pulling (perhaps due
5860
to a reweave) it can now be corrected by 'bzr reconcile'.
5861
(Robert Collins)
5862
5863
CHANGES:
5864
5865
* Commit is now verbose by default, and shows changed filenames and the
5866
new revision number. (Robert Collins, Martin Pool)
5867
5868
* Unify 'mv', 'move', 'rename'. (Matthew Fuller, #5379)
5869
5870
* 'bzr -h' shows help. (Martin Pool, Ian Bicking, #35940)
5871
5872
* Make 'pull' and 'push' remember location on failure using --remember.
5873
(Olaf Conradi)
5874
5875
* For compatibility, make old format for using weaves inside metadir
5876
available as 'metaweave' format. Rename format 'metadir' to 'default'.
5877
Clean up help for option --format in commands 'init', 'init-repo' and
5878
'upgrade'. (Olaf Conradi)
5879
5880
INTERNALS:
5881
5882
* The internal storage of history, and logical branch identity have now
5883
been split into Branch, and Repository. The common locking and file
5884
management routines are now in bzrlib.lockablefiles.
5885
(Aaron Bentley, Robert Collins, Martin Pool)
5886
5887
* Transports can now raise DependencyNotPresent if they need a library
5888
which is not installed, and then another implementation will be
5889
tried. (Martin Pool)
5890
5891
* Remove obsolete (and no-op) `decode` parameter to `Transport.get`.
5892
(Martin Pool)
5893
5894
* Using Tree Transform for merge, revert, tree-building
5895
5896
* WorkingTree.create, Branch.create, ``WorkingTree.create_standalone``,
5897
Branch.initialize are now deprecated. Please see ``BzrDir.create_*`` for
5898
replacement API's. (Robert Collins)
5899
5900
* New BzrDir class represents the .bzr control directory and manages
5901
formatting issues. (Robert Collins)
5902
5903
* New repository.InterRepository class encapsulates Repository to
5904
Repository actions and allows for clean selection of optimised code
5905
paths. (Robert Collins)
5906
5907
* ``bzrlib.fetch.fetch`` and ``bzrlib.fetch.greedy_fetch`` are now
5908
deprecated, please use ``branch.fetch`` or ``repository.fetch``
5909
depending on your needs. (Robert Collins)
5910
5911
* deprecated methods now have a ``is_deprecated`` flag on them that can
5912
be checked, if you need to determine whether a given callable is
5913
deprecated at runtime. (Robert Collins)
5914
5915
* Progress bars are now nested - see
5916
``bzrlib.ui.ui_factory.nested_progress_bar``.
5917
(Robert Collins, Robey Pointer)
5918
5919
* New API call ``get_format_description()`` for each type of format.
5920
(Olaf Conradi)
5921
5922
* Changed ``branch.set_parent()`` to accept None to remove parent.
5923
(Olaf Conradi)
5924
5925
* Deprecated BzrError AmbiguousBase. (Olaf Conradi)
5926
5927
* WorkingTree.branch is now a read only property. (Robert Collins)
5928
5929
* bzrlib.ui.text.TextUIFactory now accepts a ``bar_type`` parameter which
5930
can be None or a factory that will create a progress bar. This is
5931
useful for testing or for overriding the bzrlib.progress heuristic.
5932
(Robert Collins)
5933
5934
* New API method ``get_physical_lock_status()`` to query locks present on a
5935
transport. (Olaf Conradi)
5936
5937
* Repository.reconcile now takes a thorough keyword parameter to allow
5938
requesting an indepth reconciliation, rather than just a data-loss
5939
check. (Robert Collins)
5940
5941
* ``bzrlib.ui.ui_factory protocol`` now supports ``get_boolean`` to prompt
5942
the user for yes/no style input. (Robert Collins)
5943
5944
TESTING:
5945
5946
* SFTP tests now shortcut the SSH negotiation, reducing test overhead
5947
for testing SFTP protocol support. (Robey Pointer)
5948
5949
* Branch formats are now tested once per implementation (see ``bzrlib.
5950
tests.branch_implementations``. This is analagous to the transport
5951
interface tests, and has been followed up with working tree,
5952
repository and BzrDir tests. (Robert Collins)
5953
5954
* New test base class TestCaseWithTransport provides a transport aware
5955
test environment, useful for testing any transport-interface using
5956
code. The test suite option --transport controls the transport used
5957
by this class (when its not being used as part of implementation
5958
contract testing). (Robert Collins)
5959
5960
* Close logging handler on disabling the test log. This will remove the
5961
handler from the internal list inside python's logging module,
5962
preventing shutdown from closing it twice. (Olaf Conradi)
5963
5964
* Move test case for uncommit to blackbox tests. (Olaf Conradi)
5965
5966
* ``run_bzr`` and ``run_bzr_captured`` now accept a 'stdin="foo"'
5967
parameter which will provide String("foo") to the command as its stdin.

bzr 0.7 2006-01-09
5970
------------------
5971
5972
CHANGES:
5973
5974
* .bzrignore is excluded from exports, on the grounds that it's a bzr
5975
internal-use file and may not be wanted. (Jamie Wilkinson)
5976
5977
* The "bzr directories" command were removed in favor of the new
5978
--kind option to the "bzr inventory" command. To list all
5979
versioned directories, now use "bzr inventory --kind directory".
5980
(Johan Rydberg)
5981
5982
* Under Windows configuration directory is now ``%APPDATA%\bazaar\2.0``
5983
by default. (John Arbash Meinel)
5984
5985
* The parent of Bzr configuration directory can be set by ``BZR_HOME``
5986
environment variable. Now the path for it is searched in ``BZR_HOME``,
5987
then in HOME. Under Windows the order is: ``BZR_HOME``, ``APPDATA``
5988
(usually points to ``C:\Documents and Settings\User Name\Application Data``),
5989
``HOME``. (John Arbash Meinel)
5990
5991
* Plugins with the same name in different directories in the bzr plugin
5992
path are no longer loaded: only the first successfully loaded one is
5993
used. (Robert Collins)
5994
5995
* Use systems' external ssh command to open connections if possible.
5996
This gives better integration with user settings such as ProxyCommand.
5997
(James Henstridge)
5998
5999
* Permissions on files underneath .bzr/ are inherited from the .bzr
6000
directory. So for a shared repository, simply doing 'chmod -R g+w .bzr/'
6001
will mean that future file will be created with group write permissions.
6002
6003
* configure.in and config.guess are no longer in the builtin default
6004
ignore list.
6005
6006
* '.sw[nop]' pattern ignored, to ignore vim swap files for nameless
6007
files. (John Arbash Meinel, Martin Pool)
6008
6009
IMPROVEMENTS:
6010
6011
* "bzr INIT dir" now initializes the specified directory, and creates
6012
it if it does not exist. (John Arbash Meinel)
6013
6014
* New remerge command (Aaron Bentley)
6015
6016
* Better zsh completion script. (Steve Borho)
6017
6018
* 'bzr diff' now returns 1 when there are changes in the working
6019
tree. (Robert Collins)
6020
6021
* 'bzr push' now exists and can push changes to a remote location.
6022
This uses the transport infrastructure, and can store the remote
6023
location in the ~/.bazaar/branches.conf configuration file.
6024
(Robert Collins)
6025
6026
* Test directories are only kept if the test fails and the user requests
6027
that they be kept.
6028
6029
* Tweaks to short log printing
6030
6031
* Added branch nicks, new nick command, printing them in log output.
6032
(Aaron Bentley)
6033
6034
* If ``$BZR_PDB`` is set, pop into the debugger when an uncaught exception
6035
occurs. (Martin Pool)
6036
6037
* Accept 'bzr resolved' (an alias for 'bzr resolve'), as this is
6038
the same as Subversion. (Martin Pool)
6039
6040
* New ftp transport support (on ftplib), for ftp:// and aftp://
6041
URLs. (Daniel Silverstone)
6042
6043
* Commit editor temporary files now start with ``bzr_log.``, to allow
6044
text editors to match the file name and set up appropriate modes or
6045
settings. (Magnus Therning)
6046
6047
* Improved performance when integrating changes from a remote weave.
6048
(Goffredo Baroncelli)
6049
6050
* Sftp will attempt to cache the connection, so it is more likely that
6051
a connection will be reused, rather than requiring multiple password
6052
requests.
6053
6054
* bzr revno now takes an optional argument indicating the branch whose
6055
revno should be printed. (Michael Ellerman)
6056
6057
* bzr cat defaults to printing the last version of the file.
6058
(Matthieu Moy, #3632)
6059
6060
* New global option 'bzr --lsprof COMMAND' runs bzr under the lsprof
6061
profiler. (Denys Duchier)
6062
6063
* Faster commits by reading only the headers of affected weave files.
6064
(Denys Duchier)
6065
6066
* 'bzr add' now takes a --dry-run parameter which shows you what would be
6067
added, but doesn't actually add anything. (Michael Ellerman)
6068
6069
* 'bzr add' now lists how many files were ignored per glob. add --verbose
6070
lists the specific files. (Aaron Bentley)
6071
6072
* 'bzr missing' now supports displaying changes in diverged trees and can
6073
be limited to show what either end of the comparison is missing.
6074
(Aaron Bently, with a little prompting from Daniel Silverstone)
6075
6076
BUG FIXES:
6077
6078
* SFTP can walk up to the root path without index errors. (Robert Collins)
6079
6080
* Fix bugs in running bzr with 'python -O'. (Martin Pool)
6081
6082
* Error when run with -OO
6083
6084
* Fix bug in reporting http errors that don't have an http error code.
6085
(Martin Pool)
6086
6087
* Handle more cases of pipe errors in display commands
6088
6089
* Change status to 3 for all errors
6090
6091
* Files that are added and unlinked before committing are completely
6092
ignored by diff and status
6093
6094
* Stores with some compressed texts and some uncompressed texts are now
6095
able to be used. (John A Meinel)
6096
6097
* Fix for bzr pull failing sometimes under windows
6098
6099
* Fix for sftp transport under windows when using interactive auth
6100
6101
* Show files which are both renamed and modified as such in 'bzr
6102
status' output. (Daniel Silverstone, #4503)
6103
6104
* Make annotate cope better with revisions committed without a valid
6105
email address. (Marien Zwart)
6106
6107
* Fix representation of tab characters in commit messages.
6108
(Harald Meland)
6109
6110
* List of plugin directories in ``BZR_PLUGIN_PATH`` environment variable is
6111
now parsed properly under Windows. (Alexander Belchenko)
6112
6113
* Show number of revisions pushed/pulled/merged. (Robey Pointer)
6114
6115
* Keep a cached copy of the basis inventory to speed up operations
6116
that need to refer to it. (Johan Rydberg, Martin Pool)
6117
6118
* Fix bugs in bzr status display of non-ascii characters.
6119
(Martin Pool)
6120
6121
* Remove Makefile.in from default ignore list.
6122
(Tollef Fog Heen, Martin Pool, #6413)
6123
6124
* Fix failure in 'bzr added'. (Nathan McCallum, Martin Pool)
6125
6126
TESTING:
6127
6128
* Fix selftest asking for passwords when there are no SFTP keys.
6129
(Robey Pointer, Jelmer Vernooij)
6130
6131
* Fix selftest run with 'python -O'. (Martin Pool)
6132
6133
* Fix HTTP tests under Windows. (John Arbash Meinel)
6134
6135
* Make tests work even if HOME is not set (Aaron Bentley)
6136
6137
* Updated ``build_tree`` to use fixed line-endings for tests which read
6138
the file cotents and compare. Make some tests use this to pass under
6139
Windows. (John Arbash Meinel)
6140
6141
* Skip stat and symlink tests under Windows. (Alexander Belchenko)
6142
6143
* Delay in selftest/testhashcash is now issued under win32 and Cygwin.
6144
(John Arbash Meinel)
6145
6146
* Use terminal width to align verbose test output. (Martin Pool)
6147
6148
* Blackbox tests are maintained within the bzrlib.tests.blackbox directory.
6149
If adding a new test script please add that to
6150
``bzrlib.tests.blackbox.__init__``. (Robert Collins)
6151
6152
* Much better error message if one of the test suites can't be
6153
imported. (Martin Pool)
6154
6155
* Make check now runs the test suite twice - once with the default locale,
6156
and once with all locales forced to C, to expose bugs. This is not
6157
trivially done within python, so for now its only triggered by running
6158
Make check. Integrators and packagers who wish to check for full
6159
platform support should run 'make check' to test the source.
6160
(Robert Collins)
6161
6162
* Tests can now run TestSkipped if they can't execute for any reason.
6163
(Martin Pool) (NB: TestSkipped should only be raised for correctable
6164
reasons - see the wiki spec ImprovingBzrTestSuite).
6165
6166
* Test sftp with relative, absolute-in-homedir and absolute-not-in-homedir
6167
paths for the transport tests. Introduce blackbox remote sftp tests that
6168
test the same permutations. (Robert Collins, Robey Pointer)
6169
6170
* Transport implementation tests are now independent of the local file
6171
system, which allows tests for esoteric transports, and for features
6172
not available in the local file system. They also repeat for variations
6173
on the URL scheme that can introduce issues in the transport code,
6174
see bzrlib.transport.TransportTestProviderAdapter() for this.
6175
(Robert Collins).
6176
6177
* ``TestCase.build_tree`` uses the transport interface to build trees,
6178
pass in a transport parameter to give it an existing connection.
6179
(Robert Collins).
6180
6181
INTERNALS:
6182
6183
* WorkingTree.pull has been split across Branch and WorkingTree,
6184
to allow Branch only pulls. (Robert Collins)
6185
6186
* ``commands.display_command`` now returns the result of the decorated
6187
function. (Robert Collins)
6188
6189
* LocationConfig now has a ``set_user_option(key, value)`` call to save
6190
a setting in its matching location section (a new one is created
6191
if needed). (Robert Collins)
6192
6193
* Branch has two new methods, ``get_push_location`` and
6194
``set_push_location`` to respectively, get and set the push location.
6195
(Robert Collins)
6196
6197
* ``commands.register_command`` now takes an optional flag to signal that
6198
the registrant is planning to decorate an existing command. When
6199
given multiple plugins registering a command is not an error, and
6200
the original command class (whether built in or a plugin based one) is
6201
returned to the caller. There is a new error 'MustUseDecorated' for
6202
signalling when a wrapping command should switch to the original
6203
version. (Robert Collins)
6204
6205
* Some option parsing errors will raise 'BzrOptionError', allowing
6206
granular detection for decorating commands. (Robert Collins).
6207
6208
* ``Branch.read_working_inventory`` has moved to
6209
``WorkingTree.read_working_inventory``. This necessitated changes to
6210
``Branch.get_root_id``, and a move of ``Branch.set_inventory`` to
6211
WorkingTree as well. To make it clear that a WorkingTree cannot always
6212
be obtained ``Branch.working_tree()`` will raise
6213
``errors.NoWorkingTree`` if one cannot be obtained. (Robert Collins)
6214
6215
* All pending merges operations from Branch are now on WorkingTree.
6216
(Robert Collins)
6217
6218
* The follow operations from Branch have moved to WorkingTree::
6219
6220
add()
6221
commit()
6222
move()
6223
rename_one()
6224
unknowns()
6225
6226
(Robert Collins)
6227
6228
* ``bzrlib.add.smart_add_branch`` is now ``smart_add_tree``. (Robert Collins)
6229
6230
* New "rio" serialization format, similar to rfc-822. (Martin Pool)
6231
6232
* Rename selftests to ``bzrlib.tests.test_foo``. (John A Meinel, Martin
6233
Pool)
6234
6235
* ``bzrlib.plugin.all_plugins`` has been changed from an attribute to a
6236
query method. (Robert Collins)
6237
6238
* New options to read only the table-of-contents of a weave.
6239
(Denys Duchier)
6240
6241
* Raise NoSuchFile when someone tries to add a non-existant file.
6242
(Michael Ellerman)
6243
6244
* Simplify handling of DivergedBranches in ``cmd_pull()``.
6245
(Michael Ellerman)
6246
6247
* Branch.controlfile* logic has moved to lockablefiles.LockableFiles, which
6248
is exposed as ``Branch().control_files``. Also this has been altered with the
6249
controlfile pre/suffix replaced by simple method names like 'get' and
6250
'put'. (Aaron Bentley, Robert Collins).
6251
6252
* Deprecated functions and methods can now be marked as such using the
6253
``bzrlib.symbol_versioning`` module. Marked method have their docstring
6254
updated and will issue a DeprecationWarning using the warnings module
6255
when they are used. (Robert Collins)
6256
6257
* ``bzrlib.osutils.safe_unicode`` now exists to provide parameter coercion
6258
for functions that need unicode strings. (Robert Collins)
6259
6260
bzr 0.6 2005-10-28
6261
------------------
6262
6263
IMPROVEMENTS:
6264
6265
* pull now takes --verbose to show you what revisions are added or removed
6266
(John A Meinel)
6267
6268
* merge now takes a --show-base option to include the base text in
6269
conflicts.
6270
(Aaron Bentley)
6271
6272
* The config files are now read using ConfigObj, so '=' should be used as
6273
a separator, not ':'.
6274
(Aaron Bentley)
6275
6276
* New 'bzr commit --strict' option refuses to commit if there are
6277
any unknown files in the tree. To commit, make sure all files are
6278
either ignored, added, or deleted. (Michael Ellerman)
6279
6280
* The config directory is now ~/.bazaar, and there is a single file
6281
~/.bazaar/bazaar.conf storing email, editor and other preferences.
6282
(Robert Collins)
6283
6284
* 'bzr add' no longer takes a --verbose option, and a --quiet option
6285
has been added that suppresses all output.
6286
6287
* Improved zsh completion support in contrib/zsh, from Clint
6288
Adams.
6289
6290
* Builtin 'bzr annotate' command, by Martin Pool with improvements from
6291
Goffredo Baroncelli.
6292
6293
* 'bzr check' now accepts -v for verbose reporting, and checks for
6294
ghosts in the branch. (Robert Collins)
6295
6296
* New command 're-sign' which will regenerate the gpg signature for
6297
a revision. (Robert Collins)
6298
6299
* If you set ``check_signatures=require`` for a path in
6300
``~/.bazaar/branches.conf`` then bzr will invoke your
6301
``gpg_signing_command`` (defaults to gpg) and record a digital signature
6302
of your commit. (Robert Collins)
6303
6304
* New sftp transport, based on Paramiko. (Robey Pointer)
6305
6306
* 'bzr pull' now accepts '--clobber' which will discard local changes
6307
and make this branch identical to the source branch. (Robert Collins)
6308
6309
* Just give a quieter warning if a plugin can't be loaded, and
6310
put the details in .bzr.log. (Martin Pool)
6311
6312
* 'bzr branch' will now set the branch-name to the last component of the
6313
output directory, if one was supplied.
6314
6315
* If the option ``post_commit`` is set to one (or more) python function
6316
names (must be in the bzrlib namespace), then they will be invoked
6317
after the commit has completed, with the branch and ``revision_id`` as
6318
parameters. (Robert Collins)
6319
6320
* Merge now has a retcode of 1 when conflicts occur. (Robert Collins)
6321
6322
* --merge-type weave is now supported for file contents. Tree-shape
6323
changes are still three-way based. (Martin Pool, Aaron Bentley)
6324
6325
* 'bzr check' allows the first revision on revision-history to have
6326
parents - something that is expected for cheap checkouts, and occurs
6327
when conversions from baz do not have all history. (Robert Collins).
6328
6329
* 'bzr merge' can now graft unrelated trees together, if your specify
6330
0 as a base. (Aaron Bentley)
6331
6332
* 'bzr commit branch' and 'bzr commit branch/file1 branch/file2' now work
6333
(Aaron Bentley)
6334
6335
* Add '.sconsign*' to default ignore list. (Alexander Belchenko)
6336
6337
* 'bzr merge --reprocess' minimizes conflicts
6338
6339
TESTING:
6340
6341
* The 'bzr selftest --pattern' option for has been removed, now
6342
test specifiers on the command line can be simple strings, or
6343
regexps, or both. (Robert Collins)
6344
6345
* Passing -v to selftest will now show the time each test took to
6346
complete, which will aid in analysing performance regressions and
6347
related questions. (Robert Collins)
6348
6349
* 'bzr selftest' runs all tests, even if one fails, unless '--one'
6350
is given. (Martin Pool)
6351
6352
* There is a new method for TestCaseInTempDir, assertFileEqual, which
6353
will check that a given content is equal to the content of the named
6354
file. (Robert Collins)
6355
6356
* Fix test suite's habit of leaving many temporary log files in $TMPDIR.
6357
(Martin Pool)
6358
6359
INTERNALS:
6360
6361
* New 'testament' command and concept for making gpg-signatures
6362
of revisions that are not tied to a particular internal
6363
representation. (Martin Pool).
6364
6365
* Per-revision properties ('revprops') as key-value associated
6366
strings on each revision created when the revision is committed.
6367
Intended mainly for the use of external tools. (Martin Pool).
6368
6369
* Config options have moved from bzrlib.osutils to bzrlib.config.
6370
(Robert Collins)
6371
6372
* Improved command line option definitions allowing explanations
6373
for individual options, among other things. Contributed by
6374
Magnus Therning.
6375
6376
* Config options have moved from bzrlib.osutils to bzrlib.config.
6377
Configuration is now done via the config.Config interface:
6378
Depending on whether you have a Branch, a Location or no information
6379
available, construct a ``*Config``, and use its ``signature_checking``,
6380
``username`` and ``user_email`` methods. (Robert Collins)
6381
6382
* Plugins are now loaded under bzrlib.plugins, not bzrlib.plugin, and
6383
they are made available for other plugins to use. You should not
6384
import other plugins during the ``__init__`` of your plugin though, as
6385
no ordering is guaranteed, and the plugins directory is not on the
6386
python path. (Robert Collins)
6387
6388
* Branch.relpath has been moved to WorkingTree.relpath. WorkingTree no
6389
no longer takes an inventory, rather it takes an option branch
6390
parameter, and if None is given will open the branch at basedir
6391
implicitly. (Robert Collins)
6392
6393
* Cleaner exception structure and error reporting. Suggested by
6394
Scott James Remnant. (Martin Pool)
6395
6396
* Branch.remove has been moved to WorkingTree, which has also gained
6397
``lock_read``, ``lock_write`` and ``unlock`` methods for convenience.
6398
(Robert Collins)
6399
6400
* Two decorators, ``needs_read_lock`` and ``needs_write_lock`` have been
6401
added to the branch module. Use these to cause a function to run in a
6402
read or write lock respectively. (Robert Collins)
6403
6404
* ``Branch.open_containing`` now returns a tuple (Branch, relative-path),
6405
which allows direct access to the common case of 'get me this file
6406
from its branch'. (Robert Collins)
6407
6408
* Transports can register using ``register_lazy_transport``, and they
6409
will be loaded when first used. (Martin Pool)
6410
6411
* 'pull' has been factored out of the command as ``WorkingTree.pull()``.
6412
A new option to WorkingTree.pull has been added, clobber, which will
6413
ignore diverged history and pull anyway.
6414
(Robert Collins)
6415
6416
* config.Config has a ``get_user_option`` call that accepts an option name.
6417
This will be looked up in branches.conf and bazaar.conf as normal.
6418
It is intended that this be used by plugins to support options -
6419
options of built in programs should have specific methods on the config.
6420
(Robert Collins)
6421
6422
* ``merge.merge_inner`` now has tempdir as an optional parameter.
6423
(Robert Collins)
6424
6425
* Tree.kind is not recorded at the top level of the hierarchy, as it was
6426
missing on EmptyTree, leading to a bug with merge on EmptyTrees.
6427
(Robert Collins)
6428
6429
* ``WorkingTree.__del__`` has been removed, it was non deterministic and not
6430
doing what it was intended to. See ``WorkingTree.__init__`` for a comment
6431
about future directions. (Robert Collins/Martin Pool)
6432
6433
* bzrlib.transport.http has been modified so that only 404 urllib errors
6434
are returned as NoSuchFile. Other exceptions will propogate as normal.
6435
This allows debuging of actual errors. (Robert Collins)
6436
6437
* bzrlib.transport.Transport now accepts *ONLY* url escaped relative paths
6438
to apis like 'put', 'get' and 'has'. This is to provide consistent
6439
behaviour - it operates on url's only. (Robert Collins)
6440
6441
* Transports can register using ``register_lazy_transport``, and they
6442
will be loaded when first used. (Martin Pool)
6443
6444
* ``merge_flex`` no longer calls ``conflict_handler.finalize()``, instead that
6445
is called by ``merge_inner``. This is so that the conflict count can be
6446
retrieved (and potentially manipulated) before returning to the caller
6447
of ``merge_inner``. Likewise 'merge' now returns the conflict count to the
6448
caller. (Robert Collins)
6449
6450
* ``revision.revision_graph`` can handle having only partial history for
6451
a revision - that is no revisions in the graph with no parents.
6452
(Robert Collins).
6453
6454
* New ``builtins.branch_files`` uses the standard ``file_list`` rules to
6455
produce a branch and a list of paths, relative to that branch
6456
(Aaron Bentley)
6457
6458
* New TestCase.addCleanup facility.
6459
6460
* New ``bzrlib.version_info`` tuple (similar to ``sys.version_info``),
6461
which can be used by programs importing bzrlib.
6462
6463
BUG FIXES:
6464
6465
* Better handling of branches in directories with non-ascii names.
6466
(Joel Rosdahl, Panagiotis Papadakos)
6467
6468
* Upgrades of trees with no commits will not fail due to accessing
6469
[-1] in the revision-history. (Andres Salomon)

6472
bzr 0.1.1 2005-10-12
6473
--------------------
6474
6475
BUG FIXES:
6476
6477
* Fix problem in pulling over http from machines that do not
6478
allow directories to be listed.
6479
6480
* Avoid harmless warning about invalid hash cache after
6481
upgrading branch format.
6482
6483
PERFORMANCE:
6484
6485
* Avoid some unnecessary http operations in branch and pull.
6486
6487
6488
bzr 0.1 2005-10-11
6489
------------------
6490
6491
NOTES:
6492
6493
* 'bzr branch' over http initially gives a very high estimate
6494
of completion time but it should fall as the first few
6495
revisions are pulled in. branch is still slow on
6496
high-latency connections.
6497
6498
BUG FIXES:
6499
6500
* bzr-man.py has been updated to work again. Contributed by
6501
Rob Weir.
6502
6503
* Locking is now done with fcntl.lockf which works with NFS
6504
file systems. Contributed by Harald Meland.
6505
6506
* When a merge encounters a file that has been deleted on
6507
one side and modified on the other, the old contents are
6508
written out to foo.BASE and foo.SIDE, where SIDE is this
6509
or OTHER. Contributed by Aaron Bentley.
6510
6511
* Export was choosing incorrect file paths for the content of
6512
the tarball, this has been fixed by Aaron Bentley.
6513
6514
* Commit will no longer commit without a log message, an
6515
error is returned instead. Contributed by Jelmer Vernooij.
6516
6517
* If you commit a specific file in a sub directory, any of its
6518
parent directories that are added but not listed will be
6519
automatically included. Suggested by Michael Ellerman.
6520
6521
* bzr commit and upgrade did not correctly record new revisions
6522
for files with only a change to their executable status.
6523
bzr will correct this when it encounters it. Fixed by
6524
Robert Collins
6525
6526
* HTTP tests now force off the use of ``http_proxy`` for the duration.
6527
Contributed by Gustavo Niemeyer.
6528
6529
* Fix problems in merging weave-based branches that have
6530
different partial views of history.
6531
6532
* Symlink support: working with symlinks when not in the root of a
6533
bzr tree was broken, patch from Scott James Remnant.
6534
6535
IMPROVEMENTS:
6536
6537
* 'branch' now accepts a --basis parameter which will take advantage
6538
of local history when making a new branch. This allows faster
6539
branching of remote branches. Contributed by Aaron Bentley.
6540
6541
* New tree format based on weave files, called version 5.
6542
Existing branches can be upgraded to this format using
6543
'bzr upgrade'.
6544
6545
* Symlinks are now versionable. Initial patch by
6546
Erik Toubro Nielsen, updated to head by Robert Collins.
6547
6548
* Executable bits are tracked on files. Patch from Gustavo
6549
Niemeyer.
6550
6551
* 'bzr status' now shows unknown files inside a selected directory.
6552
Patch from Heikki Paajanen.
6553
6554
* Merge conflicts are recorded in .bzr. Two new commands 'conflicts'
6555
and 'resolve' have needed added, which list and remove those
6556
merge conflicts respectively. A conflicted tree cannot be committed
6557
in. Contributed by Aaron Bentley.
6558
6559
* 'rm' is now an alias for 'remove'.
6560
6561
* Stores now split out their content in a single byte prefixed hash,
6562
dropping the density of files per directory by 256. Contributed by
6563
Gustavo Niemeyer.
6564
6565
* 'bzr diff -r branch:URL' will now perform a diff between two branches.
6566
Contributed by Robert Collins.
6567
6568
* 'bzr log' with the default formatter will show merged revisions,
6569
indented to the right. Initial implementation contributed by Gustavo
6570
Niemeyer, made incremental by Robert Collins.
6571
6572
6573
INTERNALS:
6574
6575
* Test case failures have the exception printed after the log
6576
for your viewing pleasure.
6577
6578
* InventoryEntry is now an abstract base class, use one of the
6579
concrete InventoryDirectory etc classes instead.
6580
6581
* Branch raises an UnsupportedFormatError when it detects a
6582
bzr branch it cannot understand. This allows for precise
6583
handling of such circumstances.
6584
6585
* Remove RevisionReference class; ``Revision.parent_ids`` is now simply a
6586
list of their ids and ``parent_sha1s`` is a list of their corresponding
6587
sha1s (for old branches only at the moment.)
6588
6589
* New method-object style interface for Commit() and Fetch().
6590
6591
* Renamed ``Branch.last_patch()`` to ``Branch.last_revision()``, since
6592
we call them revisions not patches.
6593
6594
* Move ``copy_branch`` to ``bzrlib.clone.copy_branch``. The destination
6595
directory is created if it doesn't exist.
6596
6597
* Inventories now identify the files which were present by
6598
giving the revision *of that file*.
6599
6600
* Inventory and Revision XML contains a version identifier.
6601
This must be consistent with the overall branch version
6602
but allows for more flexibility in future upgrades.
6603
6604
TESTING:
6605
6606
* Removed testsweet module so that tests can be run after
6607
bzr installed by 'bzr selftest'.
6608
6609
* 'bzr selftest' command-line arguments can now be partial ids
6610
of tests to run, e.g. ``bzr selftest test_weave``
6611
6612
6613
bzr 0.0.9 2005-09-23
6614
--------------------
6615
6616
BUG FIXES:
6617
6618
* Fixed "branch -r" option.
6619
6620
* Fix remote access to branches containing non-compressed history.
6621
(Robert Collins).
6622
6623
* Better reliability of http server tests. (John Arbash-Meinel)
6624
6625
* Merge graph maximum distance calculation fix. (Aaron Bentley)
6626
6627
* Various minor bug in windows support have been fixed, largely in the
6628
test suite. Contributed by Alexander Belchenko.
6629
6630
IMPROVEMENTS:
6631
6632
* Status now accepts a -r argument to give status between chosen
6633
revisions. Contributed by Heikki Paajanen.
6634
6635
* Revision arguments no longer use +/-/= to control ranges, instead
6636
there is a 'before' namespace, which limits the successive namespace.
6637
For example '$ bzr log -r date:yesterday..before:date:today' will
6638
select everything from yesterday and before today. Contributed by
6639
Robey Pointer
6640
6641
* There is now a bzr.bat file created by distutils when building on
6642
Windows. Contributed by Alexander Belchenko.
6643
6644
INTERNALS:
6645
6646
* Removed uuid() as it was unused.
6647
6648
* Improved 'fetch' code for pulling revisions from one branch into
6649
another (used by pull, merged, etc.)
6650
6651
6652
bzr 0.0.8 2005-09-20
6653
--------------------
6654
6655
IMPROVEMENTS:
6656
6657
* Adding a file whose parent directory is not versioned will
6658
implicitly add the parent, and so on up to the root. This means
6659
you should never need to explictly add a directory, they'll just
6660
get added when you add a file in the directory. Contributed by
6661
Michael Ellerman.
6662
6663
* Ignore ``.DS_Store`` (contains Mac metadata) by default.
6664
(Nir Soffer)
6665
6666
* If you set ``BZR_EDITOR`` in the environment, it is checked in
6667
preference to EDITOR and the config file for the interactive commit
6668
editing program. Related to this is a bugfix where a missing program
6669
set in EDITOR would cause editing to fail, now the fallback program
6670
for the operating system is still tried.
6671
6672
* Files that are not directories/symlinks/regular files will no longer
6673
cause bzr to fail, it will just ignore them by default. You cannot add
6674
them to the tree though - they are not versionable.
6675
6676
6677
INTERNALS:
6678
6679
* Refactor xml packing/unpacking.
6680
6681
BUG FIXES:
6682
6683
* Fixed 'bzr mv' by Ollie Rutherfurd.
6684
6685
* Fixed strange error when trying to access a nonexistent http
6686
branch.
6687
6688
* Make sure that the hashcache gets written out if it can't be
6689
read.
6690
6691
6692
PORTABILITY:
6693
6694
* Various Windows fixes from Ollie Rutherfurd.
6695
6696
* Quieten warnings about locking; patch from Matt Lavin.
6697
6698
6699
bzr-0.0.7 2005-09-02
6700
--------------------
6701
6702
NEW FEATURES:
6703
6704
* ``bzr shell-complete`` command contributed by Clint Adams to
6705
help with intelligent shell completion.
6706
6707
* New expert command ``bzr find-merge-base`` for debugging merges.
6708
6709
6710
ENHANCEMENTS:
6711
6712
* Much better merge support.
6713
6714
* merge3 conflicts are now reported with markers like '<<<<<<<'
6715
(seven characters) which is the same as CVS and pleases things
6716
like emacs smerge.
6717
6718
6719
BUG FIXES:
6720
6721
* ``bzr upgrade`` no longer fails when trying to fix trees that
6722
mention revisions that are not present.
6723
6724
* Fixed bugs in listing plugins from ``bzr plugins``.
6725
6726
* Fix case of $EDITOR containing options for the editor.
6727
6728
* Fix log -r refusing to show the last revision.
6729
(Patch from Goffredo Baroncelli.)
6730
6731
6732
CHANGES:
6733
6734
* ``bzr log --show-ids`` shows the revision ids of all parents.
6735
6736
* Externally provided commands on your $BZRPATH no longer need
6737
to recognize --bzr-usage to work properly, and can just handle
6738
--help themselves.
6739
6740
6741
LIBRARY:
6742
6743
* Changed trace messages to go through the standard logging
6744
framework, so that they can more easily be redirected by
6745
libraries.
6746
6747
6748
6749
bzr-0.0.6 2005-08-18
6750
--------------------
6751
6752
NEW FEATURES:
6753
6754
* Python plugins, automatically loaded from the directories on
6755
``BZR_PLUGIN_PATH`` or ``~/.bzr.conf/plugins`` by default.
6756
6757
* New 'bzr mkdir' command.
6758
6759
* Commit mesage is fetched from an editor if not given on the
6760
command line; patch from Torsten Marek.
6761
6762
* ``bzr log -m FOO`` displays commits whose message matches regexp
6763
FOO.
6764
6765
* ``bzr add`` with no arguments adds everything under the current directory.
6766
6767
* ``bzr mv`` does move or rename depending on its arguments, like
6768
the Unix command.
6769
6770
* ``bzr missing`` command shows a summary of the differences
6771
between two trees. (Merged from John Arbash-Meinel.)
6772
6773
* An email address for commits to a particular tree can be
6774
specified by putting it into .bzr/email within a branch. (Based
6775
on a patch from Heikki Paajanen.)
6776
6777
6778
ENHANCEMENTS:
6779
6780
* Faster working tree operations.
6781
6782
6783
CHANGES:
6784
6785
* 3rd-party modules shipped with bzr are copied within the bzrlib
6786
python package, so that they can be installed by the setup
6787
script without clashing with anything already existing on the
6788
system. (Contributed by Gustavo Niemeyer.)
6789
6790
* Moved plugins directory to bzrlib/, so that there's a standard
6791
plugin directory which is not only installed with bzr itself but
6792
is also available when using bzr from the development tree.
6793
``BZR_PLUGIN_PATH`` and ``DEFAULT_PLUGIN_PATH`` are then added to the
6794
standard plugins directory.
6795
6796
* When exporting to a tarball with ``bzr export --format tgz``, put
6797
everything under a top directory rather than dumping it into the
6798
current directory. This can be overridden with the ``--root``
6799
option. Patch from William Dodé and John Meinel.
6800
6801
* New ``bzr upgrade`` command to upgrade the format of a branch,
6802
replacing ``bzr check --update``.
6803
6804
* Files within store directories are no longer marked readonly on
6805
disk.
6806
6807
* Changed ``bzr log`` output to a more compact form suggested by
6808
John A Meinel. Old format is available with the ``--long`` or
6809
``-l`` option, patched by William Dodé.
6810
6811
* By default the commit command refuses to record a revision with
6812
no changes unless the ``--unchanged`` option is given.
6813
6814
* The ``--no-plugins``, ``--profile`` and ``--builtin`` command
6815
line options must come before the command name because they
6816
affect what commands are available; all other options must come
6817
after the command name because their interpretation depends on
6818
it.
6819
6820
* ``branch`` and ``clone`` added as aliases for ``branch``.
6821
6822
* Default log format is back to the long format; the compact one
6823
is available with ``--short``.
6824
6825
6826
BUG FIXES:
6827
6828
* Fix bugs in committing only selected files or within a subdirectory.
6829
6830
6831
bzr-0.0.5 2005-06-15
6832
---------------------
6833
6834
CHANGES:
6835
6836
* ``bzr`` with no command now shows help rather than giving an
6837
error. Suggested by Michael Ellerman.
6838
6839
* ``bzr status`` output format changed, because svn-style output
6840
doesn't really match the model of bzr. Now files are grouped by
6841
status and can be shown with their IDs. ``bzr status --all``
6842
shows all versioned files and unknown files but not ignored files.
6843
6844
* ``bzr log`` runs from most-recent to least-recent, the reverse
6845
of the previous order. The previous behaviour can be obtained
6846
with the ``--forward`` option.
6847
6848
* ``bzr inventory`` by default shows only filenames, and also ids
6849
if ``--show-ids`` is given, in which case the id is the second
6850
field.
6851
6852
6853
ENHANCEMENTS:
6854
6855
* New 'bzr whoami --email' option shows only the email component
6856
of the user identification, from Jo Vermeulen.
6857
6858
* New ``bzr ignore PATTERN`` command.
6859
6860
* Nicer error message for broken pipe, interrupt and similar
6861
conditions that don't indicate an internal error.
6862
6863
* Add ``.*.sw[nop] .git .*.tmp *,v`` to default ignore patterns.
6864
6865
* Per-branch locks keyed on ``.bzr/branch-lock``, available in
6866
either read or write mode.
6867
6868
* New option ``bzr log --show-ids`` shows revision and file ids.
6869
6870
* New usage ``bzr log FILENAME`` shows only revisions that
6871
affected that file.
6872
6873
* Changed format for describing changes in ``bzr log -v``.
6874
6875
* New option ``bzr commit --file`` to take a message from a file,
6876
suggested by LarstiQ.
6877
6878
* New syntax ``bzr status [FILE...]`` contributed by Bartosz
6879
Oler. File may be in a branch other than the working directory.
6880
6881
* ``bzr log`` and ``bzr root`` can be given an http URL instead of
6882
a filename.
6883
6884
* Commands can now be defined by external programs or scripts
6885
in a directory on $BZRPATH.
6886
6887
* New "stat cache" avoids reading the contents of files if they
6888
haven't changed since the previous time.
6889
6890
* If the Python interpreter is too old, try to find a better one
6891
or give an error. Based on a patch from Fredrik Lundh.
6892
6893
* New optional parameter ``bzr info [BRANCH]``.
6894
6895
* New form ``bzr commit SELECTED`` to commit only selected files.
6896
6897
* New form ``bzr log -r FROM:TO`` shows changes in selected
6898
range; contributed by John A Meinel.
6899
6900
* New option ``bzr diff --diff-options 'OPTS'`` allows passing
6901
options through to an external GNU diff.
6902
6903
* New option ``bzr add --no-recurse`` to add a directory but not
6904
their contents.
6905
6906
* ``bzr --version`` now shows more information if bzr is being run
6907
from a branch.
6908
6909
6910
BUG FIXES:
6911
6912
* Fixed diff format so that added and removed files will be
6913
handled properly by patch. Fix from Lalo Martins.
6914
6915
* Various fixes for files whose names contain spaces or other
6916
metacharacters.
6917
6918
6919
TESTING:
6920
6921
* Converted black-box test suites from Bourne shell into Python;
6922
now run using ``./testbzr``. Various structural improvements to
6923
the tests.
6924
6925
* testbzr by default runs the version of bzr found in the same
6926
directory as the tests, or the one given as the first parameter.
6927
6928
* testbzr also runs the internal tests, so the only command
6929
required to check is just ``./testbzr``.
6930
6931
* testbzr requires python2.4, but can be used to test bzr running
6932
under a different version.
6933
6934
* Tests added for many other changes in this release.
6935
6936
6937
INTERNAL:
6938
6939
* Included ElementTree library upgraded to 1.2.6 by Fredrik Lundh.
6940
6941
* Refactor command functions into Command objects based on HCT by
6942
Scott James Remnant.
6943
6944
* Better help messages for many commands.
6945
6946
* Expose ``bzrlib.open_tracefile()`` to start the tracefile; until
6947
this is called trace messages are just discarded.
6948
6949
* New internal function ``find_touching_revisions()`` and hidden
6950
command touching-revisions trace the changes to a given file.
6951
6952
* Simpler and faster ``compare_inventories()`` function.
6953
6954
* ``bzrlib.open_tracefile()`` takes a tracefilename parameter.
6955
6956
* New AtomicFile class.
6957

---------------------
6969
6970
ENHANCEMENTS:
6971
6972
* 'bzr diff' optionally takes a list of files to diff. Still a bit
6973
basic. Patch from QuantumG.
6974
6975
* More default ignore patterns.
6976
6977
* New 'bzr log --verbose' shows a list of files changed in the
6978
changeset. Patch from Sebastian Cote.
6979
6980
* Roll over ~/.bzr.log if it gets too large.
6981
6982
* Command abbreviations 'ci', 'st', 'stat', '?' based on a patch
6983
by Jason Diamon.
6984
6985
* New 'bzr help commands' based on a patch from Denys Duchier.
6986
6987
6988
CHANGES:
6989
6990
* User email is determined by looking at $BZREMAIL or ~/.bzr.email
6991
or $EMAIL. All are decoded by the locale preferred encoding.
6992
If none of these are present user@hostname is used. The host's
6993
fully-qualified name is not used because that tends to fail when
6994
there are DNS problems.
6995
6996
* New 'bzr whoami' command instead of username user-email.
6997
6998
6999

7006
trailing newlines properly.
7007
7008
7009
INTERNAL:
7010
7011
* Allow docstrings for help to be in PEP0257 format. Patch from
7012
Matt Brubeck.
7013
7014
* More tests in test.sh.
7015
7016

7017
directory and delete it when done.
7018
7019

7020
7021
7022

7051

7052
7053
* .bzr.log is placed in $HOME (not pwd) and is always written in
7054
UTF-8. (Probably not a completely good long-term solution, but
7055
will do for now.)
7056
7057
PORTABILITY:
7058
7059
* Workaround for difflib bug in Python 2.3 that causes an
7060
exception when comparing empty files. Reported by Erik Toubro
7061
Nielsen.

7097
* New 'ignored' command lists which files are ignored and why;
7098
'deleted' lists files deleted in the current working tree.
7099
7100
* Performance improvements.
7101
7102
