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)
18
* ``bzr+http//`` will now optionally load plugins and write logs on the
19
server. (Marius Kruger)
23
* bzr is now compatible with python-2.6. python-2.6 is not yet officially
24
supported (nor released, tests were conducted with the dev version of
25
python-2.6rc2), but all known problems have been fixed . Feedback
27
(Vincent Ladeuil, #269535)
31
* ``bzr annotate`` will now include uncommitted changes from the local
32
working tree by default. Such uncommitted changes are given the
33
revision number they would get if a commit was done, followed with a
34
? to indicate that its not actually known. (Robert Collins, #3439)
36
* ``bzr branch`` now accepts a ``--standalone`` option, which creates a
37
standalone branch regardless of the presence of shared repositories.
40
* ``bzr push`` is faster in the case there are no new revisions to
41
push. It is also faster if there are no tags in the local branch.
44
* File changes during a commit will update the tree stat cache.
47
* Location aliases can now accept a trailing path. (Micheal Hudson)
49
* New hooks ``Lock.hooks`` when LockDirs are acquired and released.
50
(Robert Collins, MartinPool)
52
* Switching in heavyweight checkouts uses the master branch's context, not
53
the checkout's context. (Adrian Wilkins)
55
* ``status`` on large trees is now faster, due to optimisations in the
56
walkdirs code. Of particular note, the walkdirs code now performs
57
a temporary ``chdir()`` while reading a single directory; if your
58
platform has non thread-local current working directories (and is
59
not windows which has its own implementation), this may introduce a
60
race condition during concurrent uses of bzrlib. The bzrlib CLI
61
will not encounter this as it is single threaded for working tree
62
operations. (Robert Collins)
64
* The C extensions now build on python 2.4 (Robert Collins, #271939)
66
* The ``-Dhpss`` debug flag now reports the number of smart server
67
calls per medium to stderr. This is in addition to the existing
68
detailed logging to the .bzr.log trace file. (Andrew Bennetts)
72
* Branching from a shared repository on a smart server into a new
73
repository now preserves the repository format.
74
(Andrew Bennetts, #269214)
76
* ``bzr log`` now accepts a ``--change`` option.
77
(Vincent Ladeuil, #248427)
79
* ``bzr missing`` now accepts an ``--include-merges`` option.
80
(Vincent Ladeuil, #233817)
82
* Don't try to filter (internally) '.bzr' from the files to be deleted if
84
(Vincent Ladeuil, #272648)
86
* Fix '_in_buffer' AttributeError when using the -Dhpss debug flag.
89
* Fix TooManyConcurrentRequests errors caused by a connection failure
90
when doing ``bzr pull`` or ``bzr merge`` from a ``bzr+ssh`` URL.
91
(Andrew Bennetts, #246233)
93
* Fixed ``bzr st -r branch:PATH_TO_BRANCH`` where the other branch
94
is in a different repository than the current one.
95
(Lukáš Lalinský, #144421)
97
* Make the first line of the manpage preamble a comment again.
98
(David Futcher, #242106)
100
* The autopacking logic will now always create a single new pack from
101
all of the content which it deems is worth moving. This avoids the
102
'repack a single pack' bug and should result in better packing
103
overall. (John Arbash Meinel, #242510, #172644)
105
* Trivial documentation fix.
106
(John Arbash Meinel, #270471)
110
* Explain revision/range identifiers. (Daniel Clemente)
114
* ``CommitBuilder.record_entry_contents`` returns one more element in
115
its result tuple - an optional file system hash for the hash cache
116
to use. (Robert Collins)
118
* ``dirstate.DirState.update_entry`` will now only calculate the sha1
119
of a file if it is likely to be needed in determining the output
120
of iter_changes. (Robert Collins)
122
* The PackRepository, RepositoryPackCollection, NewPack classes have a
123
slightly changed interface to support different index types; as a
124
result other users of these classes need to supply the index types
125
they want. (Robert Collins)
129
* ``bzrlib.tests.repository_implementations`` has been renamed to
130
``bzrlib.tests.per_repository`` so that we have a common structure
131
(and it is shorter). (John Arbash Meinel, #239343)
133
* ``LocalTransport.abspath()`` now returns a drive letter if the
134
transport has one, fixing numerous tests on Windows.
137
* PreviewTree is now tested via intertree_implementations.
140
* The full test suite is passing again on OSX.
141
(Guillermo Gonzalez, Vincent Ladeuil)
143
* The full test suite passes when run with ``-Eallow_debug``.
148
* A new hook, ``Branch.open``, has been added, which is called when
149
branch objects are opened. (Robert Collins)
151
* ``bzrlib.osutils._walkdirs_utf8`` has been refactored into common
152
tree walking, and modular directory listing code to aid future
153
performance optimisations and refactoring. (Robert Collins)
155
* ``bzrlib.trace.debug_memory`` can be used to get a quick memory dump
156
in the middle of processing. It only reports memory if
157
``/proc/PID/status`` is available. (John Arbash Meinel)
159
* New method ``RevisionSpec.as_tree`` for representing the revision
160
specifier as a revision tree object. (Lukáš Lalinský)
162
* New race-free method on MutableTree ``get_file_with_stat`` for use
163
when generating stat cache results. (Robert Collins)
165
* New win32utils.get_local_appdata_location() provides access to a local
166
directory for storing data. (Mark Hammond)
168
* To be compatible with python-2.6 a few new rules should be
169
observed. 'message' attribute can't be used anymore in exception
170
classes, 'sha' and 'md5' modules have been deprecated (use
171
osutils.[md5|sha]), object__init__ and object.__new__ don't accept
179
No changes from 1.7.1rc1.
182
bzr 1.7.1rc1 2008-09-24
183
-----------------------
185
This release just includes an update to how the merge algorithm handles
186
file paths when we encounter complex history.
190
* If we encounter a criss-cross in history, use information from
191
direct Least Common Ancestors to resolve inventory shape (locations
192
of files, adds, deletes, etc). This is similar in concept to using
193
``--lca`` for merging file texts, only applied to paths.
200
This release includes many bug fixes and a few performance and feature
201
improvements. ``bzr rm`` will now scan for missing files and remove them,
202
like how ``bzr add`` scans for unknown files and adds them. A bit more
203
polish has been applied to the stacking code. The b-tree indexing code has
204
been brought in, with an eye on using it in a future repository format.
205
There are only minor installer changes since bzr-1.7rc2.
209
* Some small updates to the win32 installer. Include localization
210
files found in plugins, and include the builtin distutils as part of
211
packaging qbzr. (Mark Hammond)
214
bzr 1.7rc2 2008-09-17
215
---------------------
217
A few bug fixes from 1.7rc1. The biggest change is a new
218
``RemoteBranch.get_stacked_on_url`` rpc. This allows clients that are
219
trying to access a Stacked branch over the smart protocol, to properly
220
connect to the stacked-on location.
224
* Branching from a shared repository on a smart server into a new
225
repository now preserves the repository format.
226
(Andrew Bennetts, #269214)
228
* Branching from a stacked branch via ``bzr+ssh`` can properly connect
229
to the stacked-on branch. (Martin Pool, #261315)
231
* ``bzr init`` no longer re-opens the BzrDir multiple times.
234
* Fix '_in_buffer' AttributeError when using the -Dhpss debug flag.
238
bzr 1.7rc1 2008-09-09
239
---------------------
241
This release candidate for bzr 1.7 has several bug fixes and a few
242
performance and feature improvements. ``bzr rm`` will now scan for
243
missing files and remove them, like how ``bzr add`` scans for unknown
244
files and adds them. A bit more polish has been applied to the stacking
245
code. The b-tree indexing code has been brought in, with an eye on using
246
it in a future repository format.
251
* ``bzr export`` can now export a subdirectory of a project.
254
* ``bzr remove-tree`` will now refuse to remove a tree with uncommitted
255
changes, unless the ``--force`` option is specified.
256
(Lukáš Lalinský, #74101)
258
* ``bzr rm`` will now scan for files that are missing and remove just
259
them automatically, much as ``bzr add`` scans for new files that
260
are not ignored and adds them automatically. (Robert Collins)
264
* Support for GSSAPI authentication when using FTP as documented in
265
RFC2228. (Jelmer Vernooij, #49623)
267
* Add support for IPv6 in the smart server. (Jelmer Vernooij, #165014)
271
* A url like ``log+file:///tmp`` will log all access to that Transport
272
to ``.bzr.log``, which may help in debugging or profiling.
275
* ``bzr branch`` and ``bzr push`` use the default stacking policy if the
276
branch format supports it. (Aaron Bentley)
278
* ``bzr init`` and ``bzr init-repo`` will now print out the same as
279
``bzr info`` if it completed successfully.
282
* ``bzr uncommit`` logs the old tip revision id, and displays how to
283
restore the branch to that tip using ``bzr pull``. This allows you
284
to recover if you realize you uncommitted the wrong thing.
287
* Fix problems in accessing stacked repositories over ``bzr://``.
288
(Martin Pool, #261315)
290
* ``SFTPTransport.readv()`` was accidentally using ``list += string``,
291
which 'works', but adds each character separately to the list,
292
rather than using ``list.append(string)``. Fixing this makes the
293
SFTP transport a little bit faster (~20%) and use a bit less memory.
296
* When reading index files, if we happen to read the whole file in a
297
single request treat it as a ``_buffer_all`` request. This happens
298
most often on small indexes over remote transports, where we default
299
to reading 64kB. It saves a round trip for each small index during
300
fetch operations. Also, if we have read more than 50% of an index
301
file, trigger a ``_buffer_all`` on the next request. This works
302
around some inefficiencies because reads don't fall neatly on page
303
boundaries, so we would ignore those bytes, but request them again
304
later. This could trigger a total read size of more than the whole
305
file. (John Arbash Meinel)
309
* ``bzr rm`` is now aliased to ``bzr del`` for the convenience of svn
310
users. (Robert Collins, #205416)
312
* Catch the infamous "select/poll returned error" which occurs when
313
pycurl try to send a body request to an HTTP/1.0 server which has
314
already refused to handle the request. (Vincent Ladeuil, #225020)
316
* Fix ``ObjectNotLocked`` errors when using various commands
317
(including ``bzr cat`` and ``bzr annotate``) in combination with a
318
smart server URL. (Andrew Bennetts, #237067)
320
* ``FTPTransport.stat()`` would return ``0000`` as the permission bits
321
for the containing ``.bzr/`` directory (it does not implement
322
permissions). This would cause us to set all subdirectories to
323
``0700`` and files to ``0600`` rather than leaving them unmodified.
324
Now we ignore ``0000`` as the permissions and assume they are
325
invalid. (John Arbash Meinel, #259855)
327
* Merging from a previously joined branch will no longer cause
328
a traceback. (Jelmer Vernooij, #203376)
330
* Pack operations on windows network shares will work even with large
331
files. (Robert Collins, #255656)
333
* Running ``bzr st PATH_TO_TREE`` will no longer suppress merge
334
status. Status is also about 7% faster on mozilla sized trees
335
when the path to the root of the tree has been given. Users of
336
the internal ``show_tree_status`` function should be aware that
337
the show_pending flag is now authoritative for showing pending
338
merges, as it was originally. (Robert Collins, #225204)
340
* Set valid default _param_name for Option so that ListOption can embed
341
'-' in names. (Vincent Ladeuil, #263249)
343
* Show proper error rather than traceback when an unknown revision
344
id is specified to ``bzr cat-revision``. (Jelmer Vernooij, #175569)
346
* Trailing text in the dirstate file could cause the C dirstate parser
347
to try to allocate an invalid amount of memory. We now properly
348
check and test for parsing a dirstate with invalid trailing data.
349
(John Arbash Meinel, #186014)
351
* Unexpected error responses from a smart server no longer cause the
352
client to traceback. (Andrew Bennetts, #263527)
354
* Use a Windows api function to get a Unicode host name, rather than
355
assuming the host name is ascii.
356
(Mark Hammond, John Arbash Meinel, #256550)
358
* ``WorkingTree4`` trees will now correctly report missing-and-new
359
paths in the output of ``iter_changes``. (Robert Collins)
363
* Updated developer documentation. (Martin Pool)
367
* Exporters now take 4 parameters. (Robert Collins)
369
* ``Tree.iter_changes`` will now return False for the content change
370
field when a file is missing in the basis tree and not present in
371
the target tree. Previously it returned True unconditionally.
374
* The deprecated ``Branch.abspath`` and unimplemented
375
``Branch.rename_one`` and ``Branch.move`` were removed. (Jelmer Vernooij)
377
* BzrDir.clone_on_transport implementations must now accept a stacked_on
378
parameter. (Aaron Bentley)
380
* BzrDir.cloning_metadir implementations must now take a require_stacking
381
parameter. (Aaron Bentley)
385
* ``addCleanup`` now takes ``*arguments`` and ``**keyword_arguments``
386
which are then passed to the cleanup callable as it is run. In
387
addition, addCleanup no longer requires that the callables passed to
388
it be unique. (Jonathan Lange)
390
* Fix some tests that fail on Windows because files are deleted while
394
* ``selftest``'s ``--starting-with`` option can now use predefined
395
prefixes so that one can say ``bzr selftest -s bp.loom`` instead of
396
``bzr selftest -s bzrlib.plugins.loom``. (Vincent Ladeuil)
398
* ``selftest``'s ``--starting-with`` option now accepts multiple values.
403
* A new plugin interface, ``bzrlib.log.log_adapters``, has been added.
404
This allows dynamic log output filtering by plugins.
407
* ``bzrlib.btree_index`` is now available, providing a b-tree index
408
layer. The design is memory conservative (limited memory cache),
409
faster to seek (approx 100 nodes per page, gives 100-way fan out),
410
and stores compressed pages allowing more keys per page.
411
(Robert Collins, John Arbash Meinel)
413
* ``bzrlib.diff.DiffTree.show_diff`` now skips changes where the kind
414
is unknown in both source and target.
415
(Robert Collins, Aaron Bentley)
417
* ``GraphIndexBuilder.add_node`` and ``BTreeBuilder`` have been
418
streamlined a bit. This should make creating large indexes faster.
419
(In benchmarking, it now takes less time to create a BTree index than
420
it takes to read the GraphIndex one.) (John Arbash Meinel)
422
* Mail clients for `bzr send` are now listed in a registry. This
423
allows plugins to add new clients by registering them with
424
``bzrlib.mail_client.mail_client_registry``. All of the built-in
425
clients now use this mechanism. (Neil Martinsen-Burrell)
431
A couple regressions were found in the 1.6 release. There was a
432
performance issue when using ``bzr+ssh`` to branch large repositories,
433
and some problems with stacking and ``rich-root`` capable repositories.
436
bzr 1.6.1rc2 2008-09-03
437
-----------------------
441
* Copying between ``rich-root`` and ``rich-root-pack`` (and vice
442
versa) was accidentally using the inter-model fetcher, instead of
443
recognizing that both were 'rich root' formats.
444
(John Arbash Meinel, #264321)
447
bzr 1.6.1rc1 2008-08-29
448
-----------------------
450
This release fixes a few regressions found in the 1.6 client. Fetching
451
changes was using an O(N^2) buffering algorithm, so for large projects it
452
would cause memory thrashing. There is also a specific problem with the
453
``--1.6-rich-root`` format, which prevented stacking on top of
454
``--rich-root-pack`` repositories, and could allow users to accidentally
455
fetch experimental data (``-subtree``) without representing it properly.
456
The ``--1.6-rich-root`` format has been deprecated and users are
457
recommended to upgrade to ``--1.6.1-rich-root`` immediately. Also we
458
re-introduced a workaround for users who have repositories with incorrect
459
nodes (not possible if you only used official releases).
460
I should also clarify that none of this is data loss level issues, but
461
still sufficient enough to warrant an updated release.
465
* ``RemoteTransport.readv()`` was being inefficient about how it
466
buffered the readv data and processed it. It would keep appending to
467
the same string (causing many copies) and then pop bytes out of the
468
start of the string (causing more copies).
469
With this patch "bzr+ssh://local" can improve dramatically,
470
especially for projects with large files.
473
* Revision texts were always meant to be stored as fulltexts. There
474
was a bug in a bzr.dev version that would accidentally create deltas
475
when copying from a Pack repo to a Knit repo. This has been fixed,
476
but to support those repositories, we know always request full texts
477
for Revision texts. (John Arbash Meinel, #261339)
479
* The previous ``--1.6-rich-root`` format used an incorrect xml
480
serializer, which would accidentally support fetching from a
481
repository that supported subtrees, even though the local one would
482
not. We deprecated that format, and introduced a new one that uses
483
the correct serializer ``--1.6.1-rich-root``.
484
(John Arbash Meinel, #262333)
490
Finally, the long awaited bzr 1.6 has been released. This release includes
491
new features like Stacked Branches, improved weave merge, and an updated
492
server protocol (now on v3) which will allow for better cross version
493
compatibility. With this release we have deprecated Knit format
494
repositories, and recommend that users upgrade them, we will continue to
495
support reading and writing them for the forseeable future, but we will
496
not be tuning them for performance as pack repositories have proven to be
497
better at scaling. This will also be the first release to bundle
498
TortoiseBzr in the standalone Windows installer.
501
bzr 1.6rc5 2008-08-19
502
---------------------
506
* Disable automatic detection of stacking based on a containing
507
directory of the target. It interacted badly with push, and needs a
508
bit more work to get the edges polished before it should happen
509
automatically. (John Arbash Meinel, #259275)
510
(This change was reverted when merged to bzr.dev)
513
bzr 1.6rc4 2008-08-18
514
---------------------
518
* Fix a regression in knit => pack fetching. We had a logic
519
inversion, causing the fetch to insert fulltexts in random order,
520
rather than preserving deltas. (John Arbash Meinel, #256757)
523
bzr 1.6rc3 2008-08-14
524
---------------------
528
* Disable reading ``.bzrrules`` as a per-branch rule preferences
529
file. The feature was not quite ready for a full release.
534
* Update the windows installer to bundle TortoiseBzr and ``qbzr``
535
into the standalone installer. This will be the first official
536
windows release that installs Tortoise by default.
541
* Fix a regression in ``bzr+http`` support. There was a missing
542
function (``_read_line``) that needed to be carried over from
543
``bzr+ssh`` support. (Andrew Bennetts)
545
* ``GraphIndex`` objects will internally read an entire index if more
546
than 1/20th of their keyspace is requested in a single operation.
547
This largely mitigates a performance regression in ``bzr log FILE``
548
and completely corrects the performance regression in ``bzr log``.
549
The regression was caused by removing an accomodation which had been
550
supporting the index format in use. A newer index format is in
551
development which is substantially faster. (Robert Collins)
554
bzr 1.6rc2 2008-08-13
555
---------------------
557
This release candidate has a few minor bug fixes, and some regression
562
* ``bzr upgrade`` on remote branches accessed via bzr:// and
563
bzr+ssh:// now works. (Andrew Bennetts)
565
* Change the ``get_format_description()`` strings for
566
``RepositoryFormatKnitPack5`` et al to be single line messages.
569
* Fix for a regression on Win32 where we would try to call
570
``os.listdir()`` on a file and not catch the exception properly.
571
(Windows raises a different exception.) This would manifest in
572
places like ``bzr rm file`` or ``bzr switch``.
573
(Mark Hammond, John Arbash Meinel)
575
* ``Inventory.copy()`` was failing to set the revision property for
576
the root entry. (Jelmer Vernooij)
578
* sftp transport: added missing ``FileExists`` case to
579
``_translate_io_exception`` (Christophe Troestler, #123475)
581
* The help for ``bzr ignored`` now suggests ``bzr ls --ignored`` for
582
scripting use. (Robert Collins, #3834)
584
* The default ``annotate`` logic will now always assign the
585
last-modified value of a line to one of the revisions that modified
586
it, rather than a merge revision. This would happen when both sides
587
claimed to have modified the line resulting in the same text. The
588
choice is arbitrary but stable, so merges in different directions
589
will get the same results. (John Arbash Meinel, #232188)
592
bzr 1.6rc1 2008-08-06
593
---------------------
595
This release candidate for bzr 1.6 solidifies the new branch stacking
596
feature. Bazaar now recommends that users upgrade all knit repositories,
597
because later formats are much faster. However, we plan to continue read/write and
598
upgrade support for knit repostories for the forseeable future. Several
599
other bugs and performance issues were fixed.
603
* Knit format repositories are deprecated and bzr will now emit
604
warnings whenever it encounters one. Use ``bzr upgrade`` to upgrade
605
knit repositories to pack format. (Andrew Bennetts)
609
* ``bzr check`` can now be told which elements at a location it should
610
check. (Daniel Watkins)
612
* Commit now supports ``--exclude`` (or ``-x``) to exclude some files
613
from the commit. (Robert Collins, #3117)
615
* Fetching data between repositories that have the same model but no
616
optimised fetcher will not reserialise all the revisions, increasing
617
performance. (Robert Collins, John Arbash Meinel)
619
* Give a more specific error when target branch is not reachable.
622
* Implemented a custom ``walkdirs_utf8`` implementation for win32.
623
This uses a pyrex extension to get direct access to the
624
``FindFirstFileW`` style apis, rather than using ``listdir`` +
625
``lstat``. Shows a very strong improvement in commands like
626
``status`` and ``diff`` which have to iterate the working tree.
627
Anywhere from 2x-6x faster depending on the size of the tree (bigger
628
trees, bigger benefit.) (John Arbash Meinel)
630
* New registry for log properties handles and the method in
631
LongLogFormatter to display the custom properties returned by the
632
registered handlers. (Guillermo Gonzalez, #162469)
636
* Add more tests that stacking does not create deltas spanning
637
physical repository boundaries.
638
(Martin Pool, #252428)
640
* Better message about incompatible repositories.
641
(Martin Pool, #206258)
643
* ``bzr branch --stacked`` ensures the destination branch format can
644
support stacking, even if the origin does not.
647
* ``bzr export`` no longer exports ``.bzrrules``.
650
* ``bzr serve --directory=/`` now correctly allows the whole
651
filesystem to be accessed on Windows, not just the root of the drive
652
that Python is running from.
653
(Adrian Wilkins, #240910)
655
* Deleting directories by hand before running ``bzr rm`` will not
656
cause subsequent errors in ``bzr st`` and ``bzr commit``.
657
(Robert Collins, #150438)
659
* Fix a test case that was failing if encoding wasn't UTF-8.
660
(John Arbash Meinel, #247585)
662
* Fix "no buffer space available" error when branching with the new
663
smart server protocol to or from Windows.
664
(Andrew Bennetts, #246180)
666
* Fixed problem in branching from smart server.
667
(#249256, Michael Hudson, Martin Pool)
669
* Handle a file turning in to a directory in TreeTransform.
670
(James Westby, #248448)
674
* ``MutableTree.commit`` has an extra optional keywork parameter
675
``exclude`` that will be unconditionally supplied by the command
676
line UI - plugins that add tree formats may need an update.
679
* The API minimum version for plugin compatibility has been raised to
680
1.6 - there are significant changes throughout the code base.
683
* The generic fetch code now uses three attributes on Repository objects
684
to control fetch. The streams requested are controlled via :
685
``_fetch_order`` and ``_fetch_uses_deltas``. Setting these
686
appropriately allows different repository implementations to recieve
687
data in their optimial form. If the ``_fetch_reconcile`` is set then
688
a reconcile operation is triggered at the end of the fetch.
691
* The ``put_on_disk`` and ``get_tar_item`` methods in
692
``InventoryEntry`` were deprecated. (Ian Clatworthy)
694
* ``Repository.is_shared`` doesn't take a read lock. It didn't
695
need one in the first place (nobody cached the value, and
696
``RemoteRepository`` wasn't taking one either). This saves a round
697
trip when probing Pack repositories, as they read the ``pack-names``
698
file when locked. And during probe, locking the repo isn't very
699
useful. (John Arbash Meinel)
703
* ``bzrlib.branchbuilder.BranchBuilder`` is now much more capable of
704
putting together a real history without having to create a full
705
WorkingTree. It is recommended that tests that are not directly
706
testing the WorkingTree use BranchBuilder instead. See
707
``BranchBuilder.build_snapshot`` or
708
``TestCaseWithMemoryTree.make_branch_builder``. (John Arbash Meinel)
710
* ``bzrlib.builtins.internal_tree_files`` broken into two giving a new
711
helper ``safe_relpath_files`` - used by the new ``exclude``
712
parameter to commit. (Robert Collins)
714
* Make it easier to introduce new WorkingTree formats.
717
* The code for exporting trees was refactored not to use the
718
deprecated ``InventoryEntry`` methods. (Ian Clatworthy)
720
* RuleSearchers return () instead of [] now when there are no matches.
724
bzr 1.6beta3 2008-07-17
725
-----------------------
727
This release adds a new 'stacked branches' feature allowing branches to
728
share storage without being in the same repository or on the same machine.
729
(See the user guide for more details.) It also adds a new hook, improved
730
weaves, aliases for related locations, faster bzr+ssh push, and several
735
* New ``pre_change_branch_tip`` hook that is called before the
736
branch tip is moved, while the branch is write-locked. See the User
737
Reference for signature details. (Andrew Bennetts)
739
* Rule-based preferences can now be defined for selected files in
740
selected branches, allowing commands and plugins to provide
741
custom behaviour for files matching defined patterns.
742
See ``Rule-based preferences`` (part of ``Configuring Bazaar``)
743
in the User Guide and ``bzr help rules`` for more information.
746
* Sites may suggest a branch to stack new branches on. (Aaron Bentley)
748
* Stacked branches are now supported. See ``bzr help branch`` and
749
``bzr help push``. Branches must be in the ``development1`` format
750
to stack, though the stacked-on branch can be of any format.
755
* ``bzr export --format=tgz --root=NAME -`` to export a gzipped tarball
756
to stdout; also ``tar`` and ``tbz2``.
759
* ``bzr (re)merge --weave`` will now use a standard Weave algorithm,
760
rather than the annotation-based merge it was using. It does so by
761
building up a Weave of the important texts, without needing to build
762
the full ancestry. (John Arbash Meinel, #238895)
764
* ``bzr send`` documents and better supports ``emacsclient`` (proper
765
escaping of mail headers and handling of the MUA Mew).
766
(Christophe Troestler)
768
* Remembered locations can be specified by aliases, e.g. :parent, :public,
769
:submit. (Aaron Bentley)
771
* The smart protocol now has improved support for setting branches'
772
revision info directly. This makes operations like push
773
faster. The new request method name is
774
``Branch.set_last_revision_ex``. (Andrew Bennetts)
778
* Bazaar is now able to be a client to the web server of IIS 6 and 7.
779
The broken implementations of RFC822 in Python and RFC2046 in IIS
780
combined with boundary-line checking in Bazaar previously made this
781
impossible. (NB, IIS 5 does not suffer from this problem).
782
(Adrian Wilkins, #247585)
784
* ``bzr log --long`` with a ghost in your mainline now handles that
785
ghost properly. (John Arbash Meinel, #243536)
787
* ``check`` handles the split-up .bzr layout correctly, so no longer
788
requires a branch to be present.
789
(Daniel Watkins, #64783)
791
* Clearer message about how to set the PYTHONPATH if bzrlib can't be
793
(Martin Pool, #205230)
795
* Errors about missing libraries are now shown without a traceback,
796
and with a suggestion to install the library. The full traceback is
797
still in ``.bzr.log`` and can be shown with ``-Derror``.
798
(Martin Pool, #240161)
800
* Fetch from a stacked branch copies all required data.
801
(Aaron Bentley, #248506)
803
* Handle urls such as ftp://user@host.com@www.host.com where the user
805
(Neil Martinsen-Burrell, #228058)
807
* ``needs_read_lock`` and ``needs_write_lock`` now suppress an error during
808
``unlock`` if there was an error in the original function. This helps
809
most when there is a failure with a smart server action, since often the
810
connection closes and we cannot unlock.
811
(Andrew Bennetts, John Arbash Meinel, #125784)
813
* Obsolete hidden command ``bzr fetch`` removed.
814
(Martin Pool, #172870)
816
* Raise the correct exception when doing ``-rbefore:0`` or ``-c0``.
817
(John Arbash Meinel, #239933)
819
* You can now compare file revisions in Windows diff programs from
821
(Matt McClure, #209281)
823
* revision_history now tolerates mainline ghosts for Branch format 6.
824
(Aaron Bentley, #235055)
826
* Set locale from environment for third party libs.
827
(Martin von Gagern, #128496)
831
* Added *Using stacked branches* to the User Guide.
834
* Updated developer documentation.
839
* ``-Dmemory`` will cause /proc/PID/status to be catted before bzr
840
exits, allowing low-key analysis of peak memory use. (Robert Collins)
842
* ``TestCaseWithTransport.make_branch_and_tree`` tries harder to return
843
a tree with a ``branch`` attribute of the right format. This was
844
preventing some ``RemoteBranch`` tests from actually running with
845
``RemoteBranch`` instances. (Andrew Bennetts)
849
* Removed ``Repository.text_store``, ``control_store``, etc. Instead,
850
there are new attributes ``texts, inventories, revisions,
851
signatures``, each of which is a ``VersionedFiles``. See the
852
Repository docstring for more details.
855
* ``Branch.pull`` now accepts an ``_override_hook_target`` optional
856
parameter. If you have a subclass of ``Branch`` that overrides
857
``pull`` then you should add this parameter. (Andrew Bennetts)
859
* ``bzrlib.check.check()`` has been deprecated in favour of the more
860
aptly-named ``bzrlib.check.check_branch()``.
863
* ``Tree.print_file`` and ``Repository.print_file`` are deprecated.
864
These methods are bad APIs because they write directly to sys.stdout.
865
bzrlib does not use them internally, and there are no direct tests
866
for them. (Alexander Belchenko)
870
* ``cat`` command no longer uses ``Tree.print_file()`` internally.
871
(Alexander Belchenko)
873
* New class method ``BzrDir.open_containing_tree_branch_or_repository``
874
which eases the discovery of the tree, the branch and the repository
875
containing a given location.
878
* New ``versionedfile.KeyMapper`` interface to abstract out the access to
879
underlying .knit/.kndx etc files in repositories with partitioned
880
storage. (Robert Collins)
882
* Obsolete developer-use command ``weave-join`` has been removed.
885
* ``RemoteToOtherFetcher`` and ``get_data_stream_for_search`` removed,
886
to support new ``VersionedFiles`` layering.
890
bzr 1.6beta2 2008-06-10
891
-----------------------
893
This release contains further progress towards our 1.6 goals of shallow
894
repositories, and contains a fix for some user-affecting bugs in the
895
repository layer. Building working trees during checkout and branch is
900
* Avoid KnitCorrupt error extracting inventories from some repositories.
901
(The data is not corrupt; an internal check is detecting a problem
902
reading from the repository.)
903
(Martin Pool, Andrew Bennetts, Robert Collins, #234748)
905
* ``bzr status`` was breaking if you merged the same revision twice.
906
(John Arbash Meinel, #235407)
908
* Fix infinite loop consuming 100% CPU when a connection is lost while
909
reading a response body via the smart protocol v1 or v2.
912
* Inserting a bundle which changes the contents of a file with no trailing
913
end of line, causing a knit snapshot in a 'knits' repository will no longer
914
cause KnitCorrupt. (Robert Collins)
916
* ``RemoteBranch.pull`` needs to return the ``self._real_branch``'s
917
pull result. It was instead just returning None, which breaks ``bzr
918
pull``. (John Arbash Meinel, #238149)
920
* Sanitize branch nick before using it as an attachment filename in
921
``bzr send``. (Lukáš Lalinský, #210218)
923
* Squash ``inv_entry.symlink_target`` to a plain string when
924
generating DirState details. This prevents from getting a
925
``UnicodeError`` when you have symlinks and non-ascii filenames.
926
(John Arbash Meinel, #135320)
930
* Added the 'alias' command to set/unset and display aliases. (Tim Penhey)
932
* ``added``, ``modified``, and ``unknowns`` behaviour made consistent (all three
933
now quote paths where required). Added ``--null`` option to ``added`` and
934
``modified`` (for null-separated unknowns, use ``ls --unknown --null``)
937
* Faster branching (1.09x) and lightweight checkouts (1.06x) on large trees.
938
(Ian Clatworthy, Aaron Bentley)
942
* Added *Bazaar Zen* section to the User Guide. (Ian Clatworthy)
946
* Fix the test HTTPServer to be isolated from chdir calls made while it is
947
running, allowing it to be used in blackbox tests. (Robert Collins)
951
* ``WorkingTree.set_parent_(ids/trees)`` will now filter out revisions
952
which are in the ancestry of other revisions. So if you merge the same
953
tree twice, or merge an ancestor of an existing merge, it will only
954
record the newest. (If you merge a descendent, it will replace its
955
ancestor). (John Arbash Meinel, #235407)
957
* ``RepositoryPolicy.__init__`` now requires stack_on and stack_on_pwd,
958
through the derived classes do not. (Aaron Bentley)
962
* ``bzrlib.bzrdir.BzrDir.sprout`` now accepts ``stacked`` to control
963
creating stacked branches. (Robert Collins)
965
* Knit record serialisation is now stricter on what it will accept, to
966
guard against potential internal bugs, or broken input. (Robert Collins)
969
bzr 1.6beta1 2008-06-02
970
-----------------------
973
Commands that work on the revision history such as push, pull, missing,
974
uncommit and log are now substantially faster. This release adds a
975
translation of some of the user documentation into Spanish. (Contributions of
976
other translations would be very welcome.) Bazaar 1.6beta1 adds a new network
977
protocol which is used by default and which allows for more efficient transfers
978
and future extensions.
981
NOTES WHEN UPGRADING:
983
* There is a new version of the network protocol used for bzr://, bzr+ssh://
984
and bzr+http:// connections. This will allow more efficient requests and
985
responses, and more graceful fallback when a server is too old to
986
recognise a request from a more recent client. Bazaar 1.6 will
987
interoperate with 0.16 and later versions, but servers should be upgraded
988
when possible. Bazaar 1.6 no longer interoperates with 0.15 and earlier via
989
these protocols. Use alternatives like SFTP or upgrade those servers.
990
(Andrew Bennetts, #83935)
994
* Deprecation warnings will not be suppressed when running ``bzr selftest``
995
so that developers can see if their code is using deprecated functions.
1000
* Adding ``-Derror`` will now display a traceback when a plugin fails to
1001
load. (James Westby)
1005
* ``bzr branch/push/pull -r XXX`` now have a helper function for finding
1006
the revno of the new revision (``Graph.find_distance_to_null``). This
1007
should make something like ``bzr branch -r -100`` in a shared, no-trees
1008
repository much snappier. (John Arbash Meinel)
1010
* ``bzr log --short -r X..Y`` no longer needs to access the full revision
1011
history. This makes it noticeably faster when logging the last few
1012
revisions. (John Arbash Meinel)
1014
* ``bzr ls`` now accepts ``-V`` as an alias for ``--versioned``.
1015
(Jerad Cramp, #165086)
1017
* ``bzr missing`` uses the new ``Graph.find_unique_ancestors`` and
1018
``Graph.find_differences`` to determine missing revisions without having
1019
to search the whole ancestry. (John Arbash Meinel, #174625)
1021
* ``bzr uncommit`` now uses partial history access, rather than always
1022
extracting the full revision history for a branch. This makes it
1023
resolve the appropriate revisions much faster (in testing it drops
1024
uncommit from 1.5s => 0.4s). It also means ``bzr log --short`` is one
1025
step closer to not using full revision history.
1026
(John Arbash Meinel, #172649)
1030
* ``bzr merge --lca`` should handle when two revisions have no common
1031
ancestor other than NULL_REVISION. (John Arbash Meinel, #235715)
1033
* ``bzr status`` was breaking if you merged the same revision twice.
1034
(John Arbash Meinel, #235407)
1036
* ``bzr push`` with both ``--overwrite`` and ``-r NNN`` options no longer
1037
fails. (Andrew Bennetts, #234229)
1039
* Correctly track the base URL of a smart medium when using bzr+http://
1040
URLs, which was causing spurious "No repository present" errors with
1041
branches in shared repositories accessed over bzr+http.
1042
(Andrew Bennetts, #230550)
1044
* Define ``_remote_is_at_least_1_2`` on ``SmartClientMedium`` so that all
1045
implementations have the attribute. Fixes 'PyCurlTransport' object has no
1046
attribute '_remote_is_at_least_1_2' attribute errors.
1047
(Andrew Bennetts, #220806)
1049
* Failure to delete an obsolete pack file should just give a warning
1050
message, not a fatal error. It may for example fail if the file is still
1051
in use by another process.
1054
* Fix MemoryError during large fetches over HTTP by limiting the amount of
1055
data we try to read per ``recv`` call. The problem was observed with
1056
Windows and a proxy, but might affect other environments as well.
1057
(Eric Holmberg, #215426)
1059
* Handle old merge directives correctly in Merger.from_mergeable. Stricter
1060
get_parent_map requirements exposed a latent bug here. (Aaron Bentley)
1062
* Issue a warning and ignore passwords declared in authentication.conf when
1063
used for an ssh scheme (sftp or bzr+ssh).
1064
(Vincent Ladeuil, #203186)
1066
* Make both http implementations raise appropriate exceptions on 403
1067
Forbidden when POSTing smart requests.
1068
(Vincent Ladeuil, #230223)
1070
* Properly *title* header names in http requests instead of capitalizing
1072
(Vincent Ladeuil, #229076)
1074
* The "Unable to obtain lock" error message now also suggests using
1075
``bzr break-lock`` to fix it. (Martin Albisetti, #139202)
1077
* Treat an encoding of '' as ascii; this can happen when bzr is run
1078
under vim on Mac OS X.
1079
(Neil Martinsen-Burrell)
1081
* ``VersionedFile.make_mpdiffs()`` was raising an exception that wasn't in
1082
scope. (Daniel Fischer #235687)
1086
* Added directory structure and started translation of docs in spanish.
1087
(Martin Albisetti, Lucio Albenga)
1089
* Incorporate feedback from Jelmer Vernooij and Neil Martinsen-Burrell
1090
on the plugin and integration chapters of the User Guide.
1093
* More Bazaar developer documentation about packaging and release process,
1094
and about use of Python reprs.
1095
(Martin Pool, Martin Albisetti)
1097
* Updated Tortise strategy document. (Mark Hammond)
1101
* ``bzrlib.tests.adapt_tests`` was broken and unused - it has been fixed.
1104
* Fix the test HTTPServer to be isolated from chdir calls made while it is
1105
running, allowing it to be used in blackbox tests. (Robert Collins)
1107
* New helper function for splitting test suites
1108
``split_suite_by_condition``. (Robert Collins)
1112
* ``Branch.missing_revisions`` has been deprecated. Similar functionality
1113
can be obtained using ``bzrlib.missing.find_unmerged``. The api was
1114
fairly broken, and the function was unused, so we are getting rid of it.
1115
(John Arbash Meinel)
1119
* ``Branch.abspath`` is deprecated; use the Tree or Transport
1120
instead. (Martin Pool)
1122
* ``Branch.update_revisions`` now takes an optional ``Graph``
1123
object. This can be used by ``update_revisions`` when it is
1124
checking ancestry, and allows callers to prefer request to go to a
1125
local branch. (John Arbash Meinel)
1127
* Branch, Repository, Tree and BzrDir should expose a Transport as an
1128
attribute if they have one, rather than having it indirectly accessible
1129
as ``.control_files._transport``. This doesn't add a requirement
1130
to support a Transport in cases where it was not needed before;
1131
it just simplifies the way it is reached. (Martin Pool)
1133
* ``bzr missing --mine-only`` will return status code 0 if you have no
1134
new revisions, but the remote does. Similarly for ``--theirs-only``.
1135
The new code only checks one side, so it doesn't know if the other
1136
side has changes. This seems more accurate with the request anyway.
1137
It also changes the output to print '[This|Other] branch is up to
1138
date.' rather than displaying nothing. (John Arbash Meinel)
1140
* ``LockableFiles.put_utf8``, ``put_bytes`` and ``controlfilename``
1141
are now deprecated in favor of using Transport operations.
1144
* Many methods on ``VersionedFile``, ``Repository`` and in
1145
``bzrlib.revision`` deprecated before bzrlib 1.5 have been removed.
1148
* ``RevisionSpec.wants_revision_history`` can be set to False for a given
1149
``RevisionSpec``. This will disable the existing behavior of passing in
1150
the full revision history to ``self._match_on``. Useful for specs that
1151
don't actually need access to the full history. (John Arbash Meinel)
1153
* The constructors of ``SmartClientMedium`` and its subclasses now require a
1154
``base`` parameter. ``SmartClientMedium`` implementations now also need
1155
to provide a ``remote_path_from_transport`` method. (Andrew Bennetts)
1157
* The default permissions for creating new files and directories
1158
should now be obtained from ``BzrDir._get_file_mode()`` and
1159
``_get_dir_mode()``, rather than from LockableFiles. The ``_set_file_mode``
1160
and ``_set_dir_mode`` variables on LockableFiles which were advertised
1161
as a way for plugins to control this are no longer consulted.
1164
* ``VersionedFile.join`` is deprecated. This method required local
1165
instances of both versioned file objects and was thus hostile to being
1166
used for streaming from a smart server. The new get_record_stream and
1167
insert_record_stream are meant to efficiently replace this method.
1170
* ``WorkingTree.set_parent_(ids/trees)`` will now filter out revisions
1171
which are in the ancestry of other revisions. So if you merge the same
1172
tree twice, or merge an ancestor of an existing merge, it will only
1173
record the newest. (If you merge a descendent, it will replace its
1174
ancestor). (John Arbash Meinel, #235407)
1176
* ``WorkingTreeFormat2.stub_initialize_remote`` is now private.
1183
This release of Bazaar includes several updates to the documentation, and fixes
1184
to prepare for making rich root support the default format. Many bugs have been
1185
squashed, including fixes to log, bzr+ssh inter-operation with older servers.
1189
* Suppress deprecation warnings when bzrlib is a 'final' release. This way
1190
users of packaged software won't be bothered with DeprecationWarnings,
1191
but developers and testers will still see them. (John Arbash Meinel)
1195
* Incorporate feedback from Jelmer Vernooij and Neil Martinsen-Burrell
1196
on the plugin and integration chapters of the User Guide.

* Broader support of GNU Emacs mail clients. Set
1208
``mail_client=emacsclient`` in your bazaar.conf and ``send`` will pop the
1209
bundle in a mail buffer according to the value of ``mail-user-agent``
1210
variable. (Xavier Maillard)
1216
* Diff now handles revision specs like "branch:" and "submit:" more
1217
efficiently. (Aaron Bentley, #202928)
1219
* More friendly error given when attempt to start the smart server
1220
on an address already in use. (Andrea Corbellini, #200575)
1222
* Pull completes much faster when there is nothing to pull.
1227
* Authentication.conf can define sections without password.
1228
(Vincent Ladeuil, #199440)
1230
* Avoid muttering every time a child update does not cause a progress bar
1231
update. (John Arbash Meinel, #213771)
1233
* ``Branch.reconcile()`` is now implemented. This allows ``bzr reconcile``
1234
to fix when a Branch has a non-canonical mainline history. ``bzr check``
1235
also detects this condition. (John Arbash Meinel, #177855)
1237
* ``bzr log -r ..X bzr://`` was failing, because it was getting a request
1238
for ``revision_id=None`` which was not a string.
1239
(John Arbash Meinel, #211661)
1241
* ``bzr commit`` now works with Microsoft's FTP service.
1244
* Catch definitions outside sections in authentication.conf.
1245
(Vincent Ladeuil, #217650)
1247
* Conversion from non-rich-root to rich-root(-pack) updates inventory
1248
sha1s, even when bundles are used. (Aaron Bentley, #181391)
1250
* Conversion from non-rich-root to rich-root(-pack) works correctly even
1251
though search keys are not topologically sorted. (Aaron Bentley)
1253
* Conversion from non-rich-root to rich-root(-pack) works even when a
1254
parent revision has a different root id. (Aaron Bentley, #177874)
1256
* Disable strace testing until strace is fixed (see bug #103133) and emit a
1257
warning when selftest ends to remind us of leaking tests.
1258
(Vincent Ladeuil, #226769)
1260
* Fetching all revisions from a repository does not cause pack collisions.
1261
(Robert Collins, Aaron Bentley, #212908)
1263
* Fix error about "attempt to add line-delta in non-delta knit".
1264
(Andrew Bennetts, #217701)
1266
* Pushing a branch in "dirstate" format (Branch5) over bzr+ssh would break
1267
if the remote server was < version 1.2. This was due to a bug in the
1268
RemoteRepository.get_parent_map() fallback code.
1269
(John Arbash Meinel, #214894)
1271
* Remove leftover code in ``bzr_branch`` that inappropriately creates
1272
a ``branch-name`` file in the branch control directory.
1275
* Set SO_REUSEADDR on server sockets of ``bzr serve`` to avoid problems
1276
rebinding the socket when starting the server a second time.
1277
(John Arbash Meinel, Martin Pool, #164288)
1279
* Severe performance degradation in fetching from knit repositories to
1280
knits and packs due to parsing the entire revisions.kndx on every graph
1281
walk iteration fixed by using the Repository.get_graph API. There was
1282
another regression in knit => knit fetching which re-read the index for
1283
every revision each side had in common.
1284
(Robert Collins, John Arbash Meinel)
1286
* When logging the changes to a particular file, there was a bug if there
1287
were ghosts in the revision ancestry. (John Arbash Meinel, #209948)
1289
* xs4all's ftp server returns a temporary error when trying to list an
1290
empty directory, rather than returning an empty list. Adding a
1291
workaround so that we don't get spurious failures.
1292
(John Arbash Meinel, #215522)
1296
* Expanded the User Guide to include new chapters on popular plugins and
1297
integrating Bazaar into your environment. The *Best practices* chapter
1298
was renamed to *Miscellaneous topics* as suggested by community
1299
feedback as well. (Ian Clatworthy)
1301
* Document outlining strategies for TortoiseBzr. (Mark Hammond)
1303
* Improved the documentation on hooks. (Ian Clatworthy)
1305
* Update authentication docs regarding ssh agents.
1306
(Vincent Ladeuil, #183705)
1310
* Add ``thread_name_suffix`` parameter to SmartTCPServer_for_testing, to
1311
make it easy to identify which test spawned a thread with an unhandled
1312
exception. (Andrew Bennetts)
1314
* New ``--debugflag``/``-E`` option to ``bzr selftest`` for setting
1315
options for debugging tests, these are complementary to the the -D
1316
options. The ``-Dselftest_debug`` global option has been replaced by the
1317
``-E=allow_debug`` option for selftest. (Andrew Bennetts)
1319
* Parameterised test ids are preserved correctly to aid diagnosis of test
1320
failures. (Robert Collins, Andrew Bennetts)
1322
* selftest now accepts --starting-with <id> to load only the tests whose id
1323
starts with the one specified. This greatly speeds up running the test
1324
suite on a limited set of tests and can be used to run the tests for a
1325
single module, a single class or even a single test. (Vincent Ladeuil)
1327
* The test suite modules have been modified to define load_tests() instead
1328
of test_suite(). That speeds up selective loading (via --load-list)
1329
significantly and provides many examples on how to migrate (grep for
1330
load_tests). (Vincent Ladeuil)
1334
* ``Hooks.install_hook`` is now deprecated in favour of
1335
``Hooks.install_named_hook`` which adds a required ``name`` parameter, to
1336
avoid having to call ``Hooks.name_hook``. (Daniel Watkins)
1338
* Implement xml8 serializer. (Aaron Bentley)
1340
* New form ``@deprecated_method(deprecated_in(1, 5, 0))`` for making
1341
deprecation wrappers. (Martin Pool)
1343
* ``Repository.revision_parents`` is now deprecated in favour of
1344
``Repository.get_parent_map([revid])[revid]``. (Jelmer Vernooij)
1346
* The Python ``assert`` statement is no longer used in Bazaar source, and
1347
a test checks this. (Martin Pool)
1351
* ``bzrlib.status.show_pending_merges`` requires the repository to be
1352
locked by the caller. Callers should have been doing it anyway, but it
1353
will now raise an exception if they do not. (John Arbash Meinel)
1355
* Repository.get_data_stream, Repository.get_data_stream_for_search(),
1356
Repository.get_deltas_for_revsions(), Repository.revision_trees(),
1357
Repository.item_keys_introduced_by() no longer take read locks.
1360
* ``LockableFiles.get_utf8`` and ``.get`` are deprecated, as a start
1361
towards removing LockableFiles and ``.control_files`` entirely.
1364
* Methods deprecated prior to 1.1 have been removed.
1371
This release of Bazaar includes handy improvements to the speed of log and
1372
status, new options for several commands, improved documentation, and better
1373
hooks, including initial code for server-side hooks. A number of bugs have
1374
been fixed, particularly in interoperability between different formats or
1375
different releases of Bazaar over there network. There's been substantial
1376
internal work in both the repository and network code to enable new features
1377
and faster performance.
1381
* Pushing a branch in "dirstate" format (Branch5) over bzr+ssh would break
1382
if the remote server was < version 1.2. This was due to a bug in the
1383
RemoteRepository.get_parent_map() fallback code.
1384
(John Arbash Meinel, Andrew Bennetts, #214894)
1387
bzr 1.4rc2 2008-04-21
1388
---------------------
1392
* ``bzr log -r ..X bzr://`` was failing, because it was getting a request
1393
for ``revision_id=None`` which was not a string.
1394
(John Arbash Meinel, #211661)
1396
* Fixed a bug in handling ghost revisions when logging changes in a
1397
particular file. (John Arbash Meinel, #209948)
1399
* Fix error about "attempt to add line-delta in non-delta knit".
1400
(Andrew Bennetts, #205156)
1402
* Fixed performance degradation in fetching from knit repositories to
1403
knits and packs due to parsing the entire revisions.kndx on every graph
1404
walk iteration fixed by using the Repository.get_graph API. There was
1405
another regression in knit => knit fetching which re-read the index for
1406
every revision each side had in common.
1407
(Robert Collins, John Arbash Meinel)
1410
bzr 1.4rc1 2008-04-11
1411
---------------------
1415
* bzr main script cannot be imported (Benjamin Peterson)
1417
* On Linux bzr additionally looks for plugins in arch-independent site
1418
directory. (Toshio Kuratomi)
1420
* The ``set_rh`` branch hook is now deprecated. Please migrate
1421
any plugins using this hook to use an alternative, e.g.
1422
``post_change_branch_tip``. (Ian Clatworthy)
1424
* When a plugin cannot be loaded as the file path is not a valid
1425
python module name bzr will now strip a ``bzr_`` prefix from the
1426
front of the suggested name, as many plugins (e.g. bzr-svn)
1427
want to be installed without this prefix. It is a common mistake
1428
to have a folder named "bzr-svn" for that plugin, especially
1429
as this is what bzr branch lp:bzr-svn will give you. (James Westby,
1432
* UniqueIntegerBugTracker now appends bug-ids instead of joining
1433
them to the base URL. Plugins that register bug trackers may
1434
need a trailing / added to the base URL if one is not already there.
1435
(James Wesby, Andrew Cowie)
1439
* Added start_commit hook for mutable trees. (Jelmer Vernooij, #186422)
1441
* ``status`` now accepts ``--no-pending`` to show the status without
1442
listing pending merges, which speeds up the command a lot on large
1443
histories. (James Westby, #202830)
1445
* New ``post_change_branch_tip`` hook that is called after the
1446
branch tip is moved but while the branch is still write-locked.
1447
See the User Reference for signature details.
1448
(Ian Clatworthy, James Henstridge)
1450
* Reconfigure can convert a branch to be standalone or to use a shared
1451
repository. (Aaron Bentley)
1455
* The smart protocol now has support for setting branches' revision info
1456
directly. This should make operations like push slightly faster, and is a
1457
step towards server-side hooks. The new request method name is
1458
``Branch.set_last_revision_info``. (Andrew Bennetts)
1460
* ``bzr commit --fixes`` now recognises "gnome" as a tag by default.
1461
(James Westby, Andrew Cowie)
1463
* ``bzr switch`` will attempt to find branches to switch to relative to the
1464
current branch. E.g. ``bzr switch branchname`` will look for
1465
``current_branch/../branchname``. (Robert Collins, Jelmer Vernooij,
1468
* Diff is now more specific about execute-bit changes it describes
1471
* Fetching data over HTTP is a bit faster when urllib is used. This is done
1472
by forcing it to recv 64k at a time when reading lines in HTTP headers,
1473
rather than just 1 byte at a time. (Andrew Bennetts)
1475
* Log --short and --line are much faster when -r is not specified.
1478
* Merge is faster. We no longer check a file's existence unnecessarily
1479
when merging the execute bit. (Aaron Bentley)
1481
* ``bzr status`` on an explicit list of files no longer shows pending
1482
merges, making it much faster on large trees. (John Arbash Meinel)
1484
* The launchpad directory service now warns the user if they have not set
1485
their launchpad login and are trying to resolve a URL using it, just
1486
in case they want to do a write operation with it. (James Westby)
1488
* The smart protocol client is slightly faster, because it now only queries
1489
the server for the protocol version once per connection. Also, the HTTP
1490
transport will now automatically probe for and use a smart server if
1491
one is present. You can use the new ``nosmart+`` transport decorator
1492
to get the old behaviour. (Andrew Bennetts)
1494
* The ``version`` command takes a ``--short`` option to print just the
1495
version number, for easier use in scripts. (Martin Pool)
1497
* Various operations with revision specs and commands that calculate
1498
revnos and revision ids are faster. (John A. Meinel, Aaron Bentley)
1502
* Add ``root_client_path`` parameter to SmartWSGIApp and
1503
SmartServerRequest. This makes it possible to publish filesystem
1504
locations that don't exactly match URL paths. SmartServerRequest
1505
subclasses should use the new ``translate_client_path`` and
1506
``transport_from_client_path`` methods when dealing with paths received
1507
from a client to take this into account. (Andrew Bennetts, #124089)
1509
* ``bzr mv a b`` can be now used also to rename previously renamed
1510
directories, not only files. (Lukáš Lalinský, #107967)
1512
* ``bzr uncommit --local`` can now remove revisions from the local
1513
branch to be symmetric with ``bzr commit --local``.
1514
(John Arbash Meinel, #93412)
1516
* Don't ask for a password if there is no real terminal.
1517
(Alexander Belchenko, #69851)
1519
* Fix a bug causing a ValueError crash in ``parse_line_delta_iter`` when
1520
fetching revisions from a knit to pack repository or vice versa using
1521
bzr:// (including over http or ssh).
1522
(#208418, Andrew Bennetts, Martin Pool, Robert Collins)
1524
* Fixed ``_get_line`` in ``bzrlib.smart.medium``, which was buggy. Also
1525
fixed ``_get_bytes`` in the same module to use the push back buffer.
1526
These bugs had no known impact in normal use, but were problematic for
1527
developers working on the code, and were likely to cause real bugs sooner
1528
or later. (Andrew Bennetts)
1530
* Implement handling of basename parameter for DefaultMail. (James Westby)
1532
* Incompatibility with Paramiko versions newer than 1.7.2 was fixed.
1533
(Andrew Bennetts, #213425)
1535
* Launchpad locations (lp: URLs) can be pulled. (Aaron Bentley, #181945)
1537
* Merges that add files to deleted root directories complete. They
1538
do create conflicts. (Aaron Bentley, #210092)
1540
* vsftp's return ``550 RNFR command failed.`` supported.
1541
(Marcus Trautwig, #129786)
1545
* Improved documentation on send/merge relationship. (Peter Schuller)
1547
* Minor fixes to the User Guide. (Matthew Fuller)
1549
* Reduced the evangelism in the User Guide. (Ian Clatworthy)
1551
* Added Integrating with Bazaar document for developers (Martin Albisetti)
1555
* Attempting to pull data from a ghost aware repository (e.g. knits) into a
1556
non-ghost aware repository such as weaves will now fail if there are
1557
ghosts. (Robert Collins)
1559
* ``KnitVersionedFile`` no longer accepts an ``access_mode`` parameter, and
1560
now requires the ``index`` and ``access_method`` parameters to be
1561
supplied. A compatible shim has been kept in the new function
1562
``knit.make_file_knit``. (Robert Collins)
1564
* Log formatters must now provide log_revision instead of show and
1565
show_merge_revno methods. The latter had been deprecated since the 0.17
1566
release. (James Westby)
1568
* ``LoopbackSFTP`` is now called ``SocketAsChannelAdapter``.
1571
* ``osutils.backup_file`` is removed. (Alexander Belchenko)
1573
* ``Repository.get_revision_graph`` is deprecated, with no replacement
1574
method. The method was size(history) and not desirable. (Robert Collins)
1576
* ``revision.revision_graph`` is deprecated, with no replacement function.
1577
The function was size(history) and not desirable. (Robert Collins)
1579
* ``Transport.get_shared_medium`` is deprecated. Use
1580
``Transport.get_smart_medium`` instead. (Andrew Bennetts)
1582
* ``VersionedFile`` factories now accept a get_scope parameter rather
1583
than using a call to ``transaction_finished``, allowing the removal of
1584
the fixed list of versioned files per repository. (Robert Collins)
1586
* ``VersionedFile.annotate_iter`` is deprecated. While in principle this
1587
allowed lower memory use, all users of annotations wanted full file
1588
annotations, and there is no storage format suitable for incremental
1589
line-by-line annotation. (Robert Collins)
1591
* ``VersionedFile.clone_text`` is deprecated. This performance optimisation
1592
is no longer used - reading the content of a file that is undergoing a
1593
file level merge to identical state on two branches is rare enough, and
1594
not expensive enough to special case. (Robert Collins)
1596
* ``VersionedFile.clear_cache`` and ``enable_cache`` are deprecated.
1597
These methods added significant complexity to the ``VersionedFile``
1598
implementation, but were only used for optimising fetches from knits -
1599
which can be done from outside the knit layer, or via a caching
1600
decorator. As knits are not the default format, the complexity is no
1601
longer worth paying. (Robert Collins)
1603
* ``VersionedFile.create_empty`` is removed. This method presupposed a
1604
sensible mapping to a transport for individual files, but pack backed
1605
versioned files have no such mapping. (Robert Collins)
1607
* ``VersionedFile.get_graph`` is deprecated, with no replacement method.
1608
The method was size(history) and not desirable. (Robert Collins)
1610
* ``VersionedFile.get_graph_with_ghosts`` is deprecated, with no
1611
replacement method. The method was size(history) and not desirable.
1614
* ``VersionedFile.get_parents`` is deprecated, please use
1615
``VersionedFile.get_parent_map``. (Robert Collins)
1617
* ``VersionedFile.get_sha1`` is deprecated, please use
1618
``VersionedFile.get_sha1s``. (Robert Collins)
1620
* ``VersionedFile.has_ghost`` is now deprecated, as it is both expensive
1621
and unused outside of a single test. (Robert Collins)
1623
* ``VersionedFile.iter_parents`` is now deprecated in favour of
1624
``get_parent_map`` which can be used to instantiate a Graph on a
1625
VersionedFile. (Robert Collins)
1627
* ``VersionedFileStore`` no longer uses the transaction parameter given
1628
to most methods; amongst other things this means that the
1629
get_weave_or_empty method no longer guarantees errors on a missing weave
1630
in a readonly transaction, and no longer caches versioned file instances
1631
which reduces memory pressure (but requires more careful management by
1632
callers to preserve performance). (Robert Collins)
1636
* New -Dselftest_debug flag disables clearing of the debug flags during
1637
tests. This is useful if you want to use e.g. -Dhpss to help debug a
1638
failing test. Be aware that using this feature is likely to cause
1639
spurious test failures if used with the full suite. (Andrew Bennetts)
1641
* selftest --load-list now uses a new more agressive test loader that will
1642
avoid loading unneeded modules and building their tests. Plugins can use
1643
this new loader by defining a load_tests function instead of a test_suite
1644
function. (a forthcoming patch will provide many examples on how to
1648
* selftest --load-list now does some sanity checks regarding duplicate test
1649
IDs and tests present in the list but not found in the actual test suite.
1652
* Slightly more concise format for the selftest progress bar, so there's
1653
more space to show the test name. (Martin Pool) ::
1655
[2500/10884, 1fail, 3miss in 1m29s] test_revisionnamespaces.TestRev
1657
* The test suite takes much less memory to run, and is a bit faster. This
1658
is done by clearing most attributes of TestCases after running them, if
1659
they succeeded. (Andrew Bennetts)
1663
* Added ``_build_client_protocol`` to ``_SmartClient``. (Andrew Bennetts)
1665
* Added basic infrastructure for automatic plugin suggestion.
1668
* If a ``LockableFiles`` object is not explicitly unlocked (for example
1669
because of a missing ``try/finally`` block, it will give a warning but
1670
not automatically unlock itself. (Previously they did.) This
1671
sometimes caused knock-on errors if for example the network connection
1672
had already failed, and should not be relied upon by code.
1673
(Martin Pool, #109520)
1675
* ``make dist`` target to build a release tarball, and also
1676
``check-dist-tarball`` and ``dist-upload-escudero``. (Martin Pool)
1678
* The ``read_response_tuple`` method of ``SmartClientRequestProtocol*``
1679
classes will now raise ``UnknownSmartMethod`` when appropriate, so that
1680
callers don't need to try distinguish unknown request errors from other
1681
errors. (Andrew Bennetts)
1683
* ``set_make_working_trees`` is now implemented provided on all repository
1684
implementations (Aaron Bentley)
1686
* ``VersionedFile`` now has a new method ``get_parent_map`` which, like
1687
``Graph.get_parent_map`` returns a dict of key:parents. (Robert Collins)

No changes from 1.3.1rc1.
1696
bzr 1.3rc1 2008-04-04

bzr:// (including over http or ssh).
1704
(#208418, Andrew Bennetts, Martin Pool, Robert Collins)
1710
Bazaar has become part of the GNU project <http://www.gnu.org>
1712
Many operations that act on history, including ``log`` and ``annotate`` are now
1713
substantially faster. Several bugs have been fixed and several new options and
1714
features have been added.

bzr 1.3rc1 2008-03-16
1724
---------------------
1726
NOTES WHEN UPGRADING:
1728
* The backup directory created by ``upgrade`` is now called
1729
``backup.bzr``, not ``.bzr.backup``. (Martin Albisetti)
1733
* A new repository format 'development' has been added. This format will
1734
represent the latest 'in-progress' format that the bzr developers are
1735
interested in getting early-adopter testing and feedback on.
1736
``doc/developers/development-repo.txt`` has detailed information.
1739
* BZR_LOG environment variable controls location of .bzr.log trace file.
1740
User can suppress writing messages to .bzr.log by using '/dev/null'
1741
filename (on Linux) or 'NUL' (on Windows). If BZR_LOG variable
1742
is not defined but BZR_HOME is defined then default location
1743
for .bzr.log trace file is ``$BZR_HOME/.bzr.log``.
1744
(Alexander Belchenko)
1746
* ``launchpad`` builtin plugin now shipped as separate part in standalone
1747
bzr.exe, installed to ``C:\Program Files\Bazaar\plugins`` directory,
1748
and standalone installer allows user to skip installation of this plugin.
1749
(Alexander Belchenko)
1751
* Restore auto-detection of plink.exe on Windows. (Dmitry Vasiliev)
1753
* Version number is now shown as "1.2" or "1.2pr2", without zeroed or
1754
missing final fields. (Martin Pool)
1758
* ``branch`` and ``checkout`` can hard-link working tree files, which is
1759
faster and saves space. (Aaron Bentley)
1761
* ``bzr send`` will now also look at the ``child_submit_to`` setting in
1762
the submit branch to determine the email address to send to.
1767
* BzrBranch._lefthand_history is faster on pack repos. (Aaron Bentley)
1769
* Branch6.generate_revision_history is faster. (Aaron Bentley)
1771
* Directory services can now be registered, allowing special URLs to be
1772
dereferenced into real URLs. This is a generalization and cleanup of
1773
the lp: transport lookup. (Aaron Bentley)
1775
* Merge directives that are automatically attached to emails have nicer
1776
filenames, based on branch-nick + revno. (Aaron Bentley)
1778
* ``push`` has a ``--revision`` option, to specify what revision to push up
1779
to. (Daniel Watkins)
1781
* Significantly reducing execution time and network traffic for trivial
1782
case of running ``bzr missing`` command for two identical branches.
1783
(Alexander Belchenko)
1785
* Speed up operations that look at the revision graph (such as 'bzr log').
1786
``KnitPackRepositor.get_revision_graph`` uses ``Graph.iter_ancestry`` to
1787
extract the revision history. This allows filtering ghosts while
1788
stepping instead of needing to peek ahead. (John Arbash Meinel)
1790
* The ``hooks`` command lists installed hooks, to assist in debugging.
1793
* Updates to how ``annotate`` work. Should see a measurable improvement in
1794
performance and memory consumption for file with a lot of merges.
1795
Also, correctly handle when a line is introduced by both parents (it
1796
should be attributed to the first merge which notices this, and not
1797
to all subsequent merges.) (John Arbash Meinel)
1801
* Autopacking no longer holds the full set of inventory lines in
1802
memory while copying. For large repositories, this can amount to
1803
hundreds of MB of ram consumption.
1804
(Ian Clatworthy, John Arbash Meinel)
1806
* Cherrypicking when using ``--format=merge3`` now explictly excludes
1807
BASE lines. (John Arbash Meinel, #151731)
1809
* Disable plink's interactive prompt for password.
1810
(#107593, Dmitry Vasiliev)
1812
* Encode command line arguments from unicode to user_encoding before
1813
invoking external mail client in `bzr send` command.
1814
(#139318, Alexander Belchenko)
1816
* Fixed problem connecting to ``bzr+https://`` servers.
1817
(#198793, John Ferlito)
1819
* Improved error reporting in the Launchpad plugin. (Daniel Watkins,
1822
* Include quick-start-summary.svg file to python-based installer(s)
1823
for Windows. (#192924, Alexander Belchenko)
1825
* lca merge now respects specified files. (Aaron Bentley)
1827
* Make version-info --custom imply --all. (#195560, James Westby)
1829
* ``merge --preview`` now works for merges that add or modify
1830
symlinks (James Henstridge)
1832
* Redirecting the output from ``bzr merge`` (when the remembered
1833
location is used) now works. (John Arbash Meinel)
1835
* setup.py script explicitly checks for Python version.
1836
(Jari Aalto, Alexander Belchenko, #200569)
1838
* UnknownFormatErrors no longer refer to branches regardless of kind of
1839
unknown format. (Daniel Watkins, #173980)
1841
* Upgrade bundled ConfigObj to version 4.5.2, which properly quotes #
1842
signs, among other small improvements. (Matt Nordhoff, #86838)
1844
* Use correct indices when emitting LCA conflicts. This fixes IndexError
1845
errors. (Aaron Bentley, #196780)
1849
* Explained how to use ``version-info --custom`` in the User Guide.
1850
(Neil Martinsen-Burrell)
1854
* Support for loading plugins from zip files and
1855
``bzrlib.plugin.load_from_zip()`` function are deprecated.
1856
(Alexander Belchenko)
1860
* Added missing blackbox tests for ``modified`` (Adrian Wilkins)
1862
* The branch interface tests were invalid for branches using rich-root
1863
repositories because the empty string is not a valid file-id.
1868
* ``Graph.iter_ancestry`` returns the ancestry of revision ids. Similar to
1869
``Repository.get_revision_graph()`` except it includes ghosts and you can
1870
stop part-way through. (John Arbash Meinel)
1872
* New module ``tools/package_mf.py`` provide custom module finder for
1873
python packages (improves standard python library's modulefinder.py)
1874
used by ``setup.py`` script while building standalone bzr.exe.
1875
(Alexander Belchenko)
1877
* New remote method ``RemoteBzrDir.find_repositoryV2`` adding support for
1878
detecting external lookup support on remote repositories. This method is
1879
now attempted first when lookup up repositories, leading to an extra
1880
round trip on older bzr smart servers. (Robert Collins)
1882
* Repository formats have a new supported-feature attribute
1883
``supports_external_lookups`` used to indicate repositories which support
1884
falling back to other repositories when they have partial data.
1887
* ``Repository.get_revision_graph_with_ghosts`` and
1888
``bzrlib.revision.(common_ancestor,MultipleRevisionSources,common_graph)``
1889
have been deprecated. (John Arbash Meinel)
1891
* ``Tree.iter_changes`` is now a public API, replacing the work-in-progress
1892
``Tree._iter_changes``. The api is now considered stable and ready for
1893
external users. (Aaron Bentley)
1895
* The bzrdir format registry now accepts an ``alias`` keyword to
1896
register_metadir, used to indicate that a format name is an alias for
1897
some other format and thus should not be reported when describing the
1898
format. (Robert Collins)
1906
* Fix failing test in Launchpad plugin. (Martin Pool)
1909
bzr 1.2rc1 2008-02-13
1910
---------------------
1912
NOTES WHEN UPGRADING:
1914
* Fetching via the smart protocol may need to reconnect once during a fetch
1915
if the remote server is running Bazaar 1.1 or earlier, because the client
1916
attempts to use more efficient requests that confuse older servers. You
1917
may be required to re-enter a password or passphrase when this happens.
1918
This won't happen if the server is upgraded to Bazaar 1.2.
1923
* Fetching via bzr+ssh will no longer fill ghosts by default (this is
1924
consistent with pack-0.92 fetching over SFTP). (Robert Collins)
1926
* Formatting of ``bzr plugins`` output is changed to be more human-
1927
friendly. Full path of plugins locations will be shown only with
1928
``--verbose`` command-line option. (Alexander Belchenko)
1930
* ``merge`` now prefers to use the submit branch, but will fall back to
1931
parent branch. For many users, this has no effect. But some users who
1932
pull and merge on the same branch will notice a change. This change
1933
makes it easier to work on a branch on two different machines, pulling
1934
between the machines, while merging from the upstream.
1935
``merge --remember`` can now be used to set the submit_branch.
1940
* ``merge --preview`` produces a diff of the changes merge would make,
1941
but does not actually perform the merge. (Aaron Bentley)
1943
* New smart method ``Repository.get_parent_map`` for getting revision
1944
parent data. This returns additional parent information topologically
1945
adjacent to the requested data to reduce round trip latency impacts.
1948
* New smart method, ``Repository.stream_revisions_chunked``, for fetching
1949
revision data that streams revision data via a chunked encoding. This
1950
avoids buffering large amounts of revision data on the server and on the
1951
client, and sends less data to the server to request the revisions.
1952
(Andrew Bennetts, Robert Collins, #178353)
1954
* The launchpad plugin now handles lp urls of the form
1955
``lp://staging/``, ``lp://demo/``, ``lp://dev/`` to use the appropriate
1956
launchpad instance to do the resolution of the branch identities.
1957
This is primarily of use to Launchpad developers, but can also
1958
be used by other users who want to try out Launchpad as
1959
a branch location without messing up their public Launchpad
1960
account. Branches that are pushed to the staging environment
1961
have an expected lifetime of one day. (Tim Penhey)
1965
* Creating a new branch no longer tries to read the entire revision-history
1966
unnecessarily over smart server operations. (Robert Collins)
1968
* Fetching between different repository formats with compatible models now
1969
takes advantage of the smart method to stream revisions. (Andrew Bennetts)
1971
* The ``--coverage`` option is now global, rather specific to ``bzr
1972
selftest``. (Andrew Bennetts)
1974
* The ``register-branch`` command will now use the public url of the branch
1975
containing the current directory, if one has been set and no explicit
1976
branch is provided. (Robert Collins)
1978
* Tweak the ``reannotate`` code path to optimize the 2-parent case.
1979
Speeds up ``bzr annotate`` with a pack repository by approx 3:2.
1980
(John Arbash Meinel)
1984
* Calculate remote path relative to the shared medium in _SmartClient. This
1985
is related to the problem in bug #124089. (Andrew Bennetts)
1987
* Cleanly handle connection errors in smart protocol version two, the same
1988
way as they are handled by version one. (Andrew Bennetts)
1990
* Clearer error when ``version-info --custom`` is used without
1991
``--template`` (Lukáš Lalinský)
1993
* Don't raise UnavailableFeature during test setup when medusa is not
1994
available or tearDown is never called leading to nasty side effects.
1995
(#137823, Vincent Ladeuil)
1997
* If a plugin's test suite cannot be loaded, for example because of a syntax
1998
error in the tests, then ``selftest`` fails, rather than just printing
1999
a warning. (Martin Pool, #189771)
2001
* List possible values for BZR_SSH environment variable in env-variables
2002
help topic. (Alexander Belchenko, #181842)
2004
* New methods ``push_log_file`` and ``pop_log_file`` to intercept messages:
2005
popping the log redirection now precisely restores the previous state,
2006
which makes it easier to use bzr log output from other programs.
2007
TestCaseInTempDir no longer depends on a log redirection being established
2008
by the test framework, which lets bzr tests cleanly run from a normal
2010
(#124153, #124849, Martin Pool, Jonathan Lange)
2012
* ``pull --quiet`` is now more quiet, in particular a message is no longer
2013
printed when the remembered pull location is used. (James Westby,
2016
* ``reconfigure`` can safely be interrupted while fetching.
2017
(Aaron Bentley, #179316)
2019
* ``reconfigure`` preserves tags when converting to and from lightweight
2020
checkouts. (Aaron Bentley, #182040)
2022
* Stop polluting /tmp when running selftest.
2023
(Vincent Ladeuil, #123623)
2025
* Switch from NFKC => NFC for normalization checks. NFC allows a few
2026
more characters which should be considered valid.
2027
(John Arbash Meinel, #185458)
2029
* The launchpad plugin now uses the ``edge`` xmlrpc server to avoid
2030
interacting badly with a bug on the launchpad side. (Robert Collins)
2032
* Unknown hostnames when connecting to a ``bzr://`` URL no longer cause
2033
tracebacks. (Andrew Bennetts, #182849)
2037
* Classes implementing Merge types like Merge3Merger must now accept (and
2038
honour) a do_merge flag in their constructor. (Aaron Bentley)
2040
* ``Repository.add_inventory`` and ``add_revision`` now require the caller
2041
to previously take a write lock (and start a write group.)
2046
* selftest now accepts --load-list <file> to load a test id list. This
2047
speeds up running the test suite on a limited set of tests.
2052
* Add a new method ``get_result`` to graph search objects. The resulting
2053
``SearchResult`` can be used to recreate the search later, which will
2054
be useful in reducing network traffic. (Robert Collins)
2056
* Use convenience function to check whether two repository handles
2057
are referring to the same repository in ``Repository.get_graph``.
2058
(Jelmer Vernooij, #187162)
2060
* Fetching now passes the find_ghosts flag through to the
2061
``InterRepository.missing_revision_ids`` call consistently for all
2062
repository types. This will enable faster missing revision discovery with
2063
bzr+ssh. (Robert Collins)
2065
* Fix error handling in Repository.insert_data_stream. (Lukas Lalinsky)
2067
* ``InterRepository.missing_revision_ids`` is now deprecated in favour of
2068
``InterRepository.search_missing_revision_ids`` which returns a
2069
``bzrlib.graph.SearchResult`` suitable for making requests from the smart
2070
server. (Robert Collins)
2072
* New error ``NoPublicBranch`` for commands that need a public branch to
2073
operate. (Robert Collins)
2075
* New method ``iter_inventories`` on Repository for access to many
2076
inventories. This is primarily used by the ``revision_trees`` method, as
2077
direct access to inventories is discouraged. (Robert Collins)
2079
* New method ``next_with_ghosts`` on the Graph breadth-first-search objects
2080
which will split out ghosts and present parents into two separate sets,
2081
useful for code which needs to be aware of ghosts (e.g. fetching data
2082
cares about ghosts during revision selection). (Robert Collins)
2084
* Record a timestamp against each mutter to the trace file, relative to the
2085
first import of bzrlib. (Andrew Bennetts)
2087
* ``Repository.get_data_stream`` is now deprecated in favour of
2088
``Repository.get_data_stream_for_search`` which allows less network
2089
traffic when requesting data streams over a smart server. (Robert Collins)
2091
* ``RemoteBzrDir._get_tree_branch`` no longer triggers ``_ensure_real``,
2092
removing one round trip on many network operations. (Robert Collins)
2094
* RemoteTransport's ``recommended_page_size`` method now returns 64k, like
2095
SFTPTransport and HttpTransportBase. (Andrew Bennetts)
2097
* Repository has a new method ``has_revisions`` which signals the presence
2098
of many revisions by returning a set of the revisions listed which are
2099
present. This can be done by index queries without reading data for parent
2100
revision names etc. (Robert Collins)
2106
(no changes from 1.1rc1)
2108
bzr 1.1rc1 2008-01-05
2109
---------------------
2113
* Dotted revision numbers have been revised. Instead of growing longer with
2114
nested branches the branch number just increases. (eg instead of 1.1.1.1.1
2115
we now report 1.2.1.) This helps scale long lived branches which have many
2116
feature branches merged between them. (John Arbash Meinel)
2118
* The syntax ``bzr diff branch1 branch2`` is no longer supported.
2119
Use ``bzr diff branch1 --new branch2`` instead. This change has
2120
been made to remove the ambiguity where ``branch2`` is in fact a
2121
specific file to diff within ``branch1``.
2125
* New option to use custom template-based formats in ``bzr version-info``.
2128
* diff '--using' allows an external diff tool to be used for files.
2131
* New "lca" merge-type for fast everyday merging that also supports
2132
criss-cross merges. (Aaron Bentley)
2136
* ``annotate`` now doesn't require a working tree. (Lukáš Lalinský,
2139
* ``branch`` and ``checkout`` can now use files from a working tree to
2140
to speed up the process. For checkout, this requires the new
2141
--files-from flag. (Aaron Bentley)
2143
* ``bzr diff`` now sorts files in alphabetical order. (Aaron Bentley)
2145
* ``bzr diff`` now works on branches without working trees. Tree-less
2146
branches can also be compared to each other and to working trees using
2147
the new diff options ``--old`` and ``--new``. Diffing between branches,
2148
with or without trees, now supports specific file filtering as well.
2149
(Ian Clatworthy, #6700)
2151
* ``bzr pack`` now orders revision texts in topological order, with newest
2152
at the start of the file, promoting linear reads for ``bzr log`` and the
2153
like. This partially fixes #154129. (Robert Collins)
2155
* Merge directives now fetch prerequisites from the target branch if
2156
needed. (Aaron Bentley)
2158
* pycurl now handles digest authentication.
2161
* ``reconfigure`` can now convert from repositories. (Aaron Bentley)
2163
* ``-l`` is now a short form for ``--limit`` in ``log``. (Matt Nordhoff)
2165
* ``merge`` now warns when merge directives cause cherrypicks.
2168
* ``split`` now supported, to enable splitting large trees into smaller
2169
pieces. (Aaron Bentley)
2173
* Avoid AttributeError when unlocking a pack repository when an error occurs.
2174
(Martin Pool, #180208)
2176
* Better handle short reads when processing multiple range requests.
2177
(Vincent Ladeuil, #179368)
2179
* build_tree acceleration uses the correct path when a file has been moved.
2182
* ``commit`` now succeeds when a checkout and its master branch share a
2183
repository. (Aaron Bentley, #177592)
2185
* Fixed error reporting of unsupported timezone format in
2186
``log --timezone``. (Lukáš Lalinský, #178722)
2188
* Fixed Unicode encoding error in ``ignored`` when the output is
2189
redirected to a pipe. (Lukáš Lalinský)
2191
* Fix traceback when sending large response bodies over the smart protocol
2192
on Windows. (Andrew Bennetts, #115781)
2194
* Fix ``urlutils.relative_url`` for the case of two ``file:///`` URLs
2195
pointed to different logical drives on Windows.
2196
(Alexander Belchenko, #90847)
2198
* HTTP test servers are now compatible with the http protocol version 1.1.
2199
(Vincent Ladeuil, #175524)
2201
* _KnitParentsProvider.get_parent_map now handles requests for ghosts
2202
correctly, instead of erroring or attributing incorrect parents to ghosts.
2205
* ``merge --weave --uncommitted`` now works. (Aaron Bentley)
2207
* pycurl authentication handling was broken and incomplete. Fix handling of
2208
user:pass embedded in the urls.
2209
(Vincent Ladeuil, #177643)
2211
* Files inside non-directories are now handled like other conflict types.
2212
(Aaron Bentley, #177390)
2214
* ``reconfigure`` is able to convert trees into lightweight checkouts.
2217
* Reduce lockdir timeout to 0 when running ``bzr serve``. (Andrew Bennetts,
2220
* Test that the old ``version_info_format`` functions still work, even
2221
though they are deprecated. (John Arbash Meinel, ShenMaq, #177872)
2223
* Transform failures no longer cause ImmortalLimbo errors (Aaron Bentley,
2226
* ``uncommit`` works even when the commit messages of revisions to be
2227
removed use characters not supported in the terminal encoding.
2230
* When dumb http servers return whole files instead of the requested ranges,
2231
read the remaining bytes by chunks to avoid overflowing network buffers.
2232
(Vincent Ladeuil, #175886)
2236
* Minor tweaks made to the bug tracker integration documentation.
2239
* Reference material has now be moved out of the User Guide and added
2240
to the User Reference. The User Reference has gained 4 sections as
2241
a result: Authenication Settings, Configuration Settings, Conflicts
2242
and Hooks. All help topics are now dumped into text format in the
2243
doc/en/user-reference directory for those who like browsing that
2244
information in their editor. (Ian Clatworthy)
2246
* *Using Bazaar with Launchpad* tutorial added. (Ian Clatworthy)
2250
* find_* methods available for BzrDirs, Branches and WorkingTrees.
2253
* Help topics can now be loaded from files.
2254
(Ian Clatworthy, Alexander Belchenko)
2256
* get_parent_map now always provides tuples as its output. (Aaron Bentley)
2258
* Parent Providers should now implement ``get_parent_map`` returning a
2259
dictionary instead of ``get_parents`` returning a list.
2260
``Graph.get_parents`` is now deprecated. (John Arbash Meinel,
2263
* Patience Diff now supports arbitrary python objects, as long as they
2264
support ``hash()``. (John Arbash Meinel)
2266
* Reduce selftest overhead to establish test names by memoization.
2273
* Modules can now customise their tests by defining a ``load_tests``
2274
attribute. ``pydoc bzrlib.tests.TestUtil.TestLoader.loadTestsFromModule``
2275
for the documentation on this attribute. (Robert Collins)
2277
* New helper function ``bzrlib.tests.condition_id_re`` which helps
2278
filter tests based on a regular expression search on the tests id.
2281
* New helper function ``bzrlib.tests.condition_isinstance`` which helps
2282
filter tests based on class. (Robert Collins)
2284
* New helper function ``bzrlib.tests.exclude_suite_by_condition`` which
2285
generalises the ``exclude_suite_by_re`` function. (Robert Collins)
2287
* New helper function ``bzrlib.tests.filter_suite_by_condition`` which
2288
generalises the ``filter_suite_by_re`` function. (Robert Collins)
2290
* New helper method ``bzrlib.tests.exclude_tests_by_re`` which gives a new
2291
TestSuite that does not contain tests from the input that matched a
2292
regular expression. (Robert Collins)
2294
* New helper method ``bzrlib.tests.randomize_suite`` which returns a
2295
randomized copy of the input suite. (Robert Collins)
2297
* New helper method ``bzrlib.tests.split_suite_by_re`` which splits a test
2298
suite into two according to a regular expression. (Robert Collins)
2300
* Parametrize all http tests for the transport implementations, the http
2301
protocol versions (1.0 and 1.1) and the authentication schemes.
2304
* The ``exclude_pattern`` and ``random_order`` parameters to the function
2305
``bzrlib.tests.filter_suite_by_re`` have been deprecated. (Robert Collins)
2307
* The method ``bzrlib.tests.sort_suite_by_re`` has been deprecated. It is
2308
replaced by the new helper methods added in this release. (Robert Collins)
2316
* More improvements and fixes to the User Guide. (Ian Clatworthy)
2318
* Add information on cherrypicking/rebasing to the User Guide.
2321
* Improve bug tracker integration documentation. (Ian Clatworthy)
2323
* Minor edits to ``Bazaar in five minutes`` from David Roberts and
2324
to the rebasing section of the User Guide from Aaron Bentley.
2328
bzr 1.0rc3 2007-12-11
2329
---------------------
2333
* If a traceback occurs, users are now asked to report the bug
2334
through Launchpad (https://bugs.launchpad.net/bzr/), rather than
2335
by mail to the mailing list.
2340
* Fix Makefile rules for doc generation. (Ian Clatworthy, #175207)
2342
* Give more feedback during long http downloads by making readv deliver data
2343
as it arrives for urllib, and issue more requests for pycurl. High latency
2344
networks are better handled by urllib, the pycurl implementation give more
2345
feedback but also incur more latency.
2346
(Vincent Ladeuil, #173010)
2348
* Implement _make_parents_provider on RemoteRepository, allowing generating
2349
bundles against branches on a smart server. (Andrew Bennetts, #147836)
2353
* Improved user guide. (Ian Clatworthy)
2355
* The single-page quick reference guide is now available as a PDF.
2360
* readv urllib http implementation is now a real iterator above the
2361
underlying socket and deliver data as soon as it arrives. 'get' still
2362
wraps its output in a StringIO.
2366
bzr 1.0rc2 2007-12-07
2367
---------------------
2371
* Added a --coverage option to selftest. (Andrew Bennetts)
2373
* Annotate merge (merge-type=weave) now supports cherrypicking.
2376
* ``bzr commit`` now doesn't print the revision number twice. (Matt
2379
* New configuration option ``bugtracker_<tracker_abbrevation>_url`` to
2380
define locations of bug trackers that are not directly supported by
2381
bzr or a plugin. The URL will be treated as a template and ``{id}``
2382
placeholders will be replaced by specific bug IDs. (Lukáš Lalinský)
2384
* Support logging single merge revisions with short and line log formatters.
2387
* User Guide enhanced with suggested readability improvements from
2388
Matt Revell and corrections from John Arbash Meinel. (Ian Clatworthy)
2390
* Quick Start Guide renamed to Quick Start Card, moved down in
2391
the catalog, provided in pdf and png format and updated to refer
2392
to ``send`` instead of ``bundle``. (Ian Clatworthy, #165080)
2394
* ``switch`` can now be used on heavyweight checkouts as well as
2395
lightweight ones. After switching a heavyweight checkout, the
2396
local branch is a mirror/cache of the new bound branch and
2397
uncommitted changes in the working tree are merged. As a safety
2398
check, if there are local commits in a checkout which have not
2399
been committed to the previously bound branch, then ``switch``
2400
fails unless the ``--force`` option is given. This option is
2401
now also required if the branch a lightweight checkout is pointing
2402
to has been moved. (Ian Clatworthy)
2406
* New -Dhttp debug option reports http connections, requests and responses.
2409
* New -Dmerge debug option, which emits merge plans for merge-type=weave.
2413
* Better error message when running ``bzr cat`` on a non-existant branch.
2414
(Lukáš Lalinský, #133782)
2416
* Catch OSError 17 (file exists) in final phase of tree transform and show
2418
(Alexander Belchenko, #111758)
2420
* Catch ShortReadvErrors while using pycurl. Also make readv more robust by
2421
allowing multiple GET requests to be issued if too many ranges are
2423
(Vincent Ladeuil, #172701)
2425
* Check for missing basis texts when fetching from packs to packs.
2426
(John Arbash Meinel, #165290)
2428
* Fall back to showing e-mail in ``log --short/--line`` if the
2429
committer/author has only e-mail. (Lukáš Lalinský, #157026)
2433
* Deprecate not passing a ``location`` argument to commit reporters'
2434
``started`` methods. (Matt Nordhoff)
2437
bzr 1.0rc1 2007-11-30
2438
---------------------
2440
NOTES WHEN UPGRADING:
2442
* The default repository format is now ``pack-0.92``. This
2443
default is used when creating new repositories with ``init`` and
2444
``init-repo``, and when branching over bzr+ssh or bzr+hpss.
2445
(See https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/164626)
2447
This format can be read and written by Bazaar 0.92 and later, and
2448
data can be transferred to and from older formats.
2450
To upgrade, please reconcile your repository (``bzr reconcile``), and then
2451
upgrade (``bzr upgrade``).
2453
``pack-0.92`` offers substantially better scaling and performance than the
2454
previous knits format. Some operations are slower where the code already
2455
had bad scaling characteristics under knits, the pack format makes such
2456
operations more visible as part of being more scalable overall. We will
2457
correct such operations over the coming releases and encourage the filing
2458
of bugs on any operation which you observe to be slower in a packs
2459
repository. One particular case that we do not intend to fix is pulling
2460
data from a pack repository into a knit repository over a high latency
2461
link; downgrading such data requires reinsertion of the file texts, and
2462
this is a classic space/time tradeoff. The current implementation is
2463
conservative on memory usage because we need to support converting data
2464
from any tree without problems.
2465
(Robert Collins, Martin Pool, #164476)
2469
* Disable detection of plink.exe as possible ssh vendor. Plink vendor
2470
still available if user selects it explicitly with BZR_SSH environment
2471
variable. (Alexander Belchenko, workaround for bug #107593)
2473
* The pack format is now accessible as "pack-0.92", or "pack-0.92-subtree"
2474
to enable the subtree functions (for example, for bzr-svn).
2475
See http://doc.bazaar-vcs.org/latest/developer/packrepo.html
2480
* New ``authentication.conf`` file holding the password or other credentials
2481
for remote servers. This can be used for ssh, sftp, smtp and other
2482
supported transports.
2485
* New rich-root and rich-root-pack formats, recording the same data about
2486
tree roots that's recorded for all other directories.
2487
(Aaron Bentley, #164639)
2489
* ``pack-0.92`` repositories can now be reconciled.
2490
(Robert Collins, #154173)
2492
* ``switch`` command added for changing the branch a lightweight checkout
2493
is associated with and updating the tree to reflect the latest content
2494
accordingly. This command was previously part of the BzrTools plug-in.
2495
(Ian Clatworthy, Aaron Bentley, David Allouche)
2497
* ``reconfigure`` command can now convert branches, trees, or checkouts to
2498
lightweight checkouts. (Aaron Bentley)
2502
* Commit updates the state of the working tree via a delta rather than
2503
supplying entirely new basis trees. For commit of a single specified file
2504
this reduces the wall clock time for commit by roughly a 30%.
2505
(Robert Collins, Martin Pool)
2507
* Commit with many automatically found deleted paths no longer performs
2508
linear scanning for the children of those paths during inventory
2509
iteration. This should fix commit performance blowing out when many such
2510
paths occur during commit. (Robert Collins, #156491)
2512
* Fetch with pack repositories will no longer read the entire history graph.
2513
(Robert Collins, #88319)
2515
* Revert takes out an appropriate lock when reverting to a basis tree, and
2516
does not read the basis inventory twice. (Robert Collins)
2518
* Diff does not require an inventory to be generated on dirstate trees.
2519
(Aaron Bentley, #149254)
2521
* New annotate merge (--merge-type=weave) implementation is fast on
2522
versionedfiles withough cached annotations, e.g. pack-0.92.
2527
* ``bzr merge`` now warns when it encounters a criss-cross merge.
2530
* ``bzr send`` now doesn't require the target e-mail address to be
2531
specified on the command line if an interactive e-mail client is used.
2534
* ``bzr tags`` now prints the revision number for each tag, instead of
2535
the revision id, unless --show-ids is passed. In addition, tags can be
2536
sorted chronologically instead of lexicographically with --sort=time.
2537
(Adeodato Simó, #120231)
2539
* Windows standalone version of bzr is able to load system-wide plugins from
2540
"plugins" subdirectory in installation directory. In addition standalone
2541
installer write to the registry (HKLM\SOFTWARE\Bazaar) useful info
2542
about paths and bzr version. (Alexander Belchenko, #129298)
2548
* A progress bar has been added for knitpack -> knitpack fetching.
2549
(Robert Collins, #157789, #159147)
2551
* Branching from a branch via smart server now preserves the repository
2552
format. (Andrew Bennetts, #164626)
2554
* ``commit`` is now able to invoke an external editor in a non-ascii
2555
directory. (Daniel Watkins, #84043)
2557
* Catch connection errors for ftp.
2558
(Vincent Ladeuil, #164567)
2560
* ``check`` no longer reports spurious unreferenced text versions.
2561
(Robert Collins, John A Meinel, #162931, #165071)
2563
* Conflicts are now resolved recursively by ``revert``.
2564
(Aaron Bentley, #102739)
2566
* Detect invalid transport reuse attempts by catching invalid URLs.
2567
(Vincent Ladeuil, #161819)
2569
* Deleting a file without removing it shows a correct diff, not a traceback.
2572
* Do no use timeout in HttpServer anymore.
2573
(Vincent Ladeuil, #158972).
2575
* Don't catch the exceptions related to the http pipeline status before
2576
retrying an http request or some programming errors may be masked.
2577
(Vincent Ladeuil, #160012)
2579
* Fix ``bzr rm`` to not delete modified and ignored files.
2580
(Lukáš Lalinský, #172598)
2582
* Fix exception when revisionspec contains merge revisons but log
2583
formatter doesn't support merge revisions. (Kent Gibson, #148908)
2585
* Fix exception when ScopeReplacer is assigned to before any members have
2586
been retrieved. (Aaron Bentley)
2588
* Fix multiple connections during checkout --lightweight.
2589
(Vincent Ladeuil, #159150)
2591
* Fix possible error in insert_data_stream when copying between
2592
pack repositories over bzr+ssh or bzr+http.
2593
KnitVersionedFile.get_data_stream now makes sure that requested
2594
compression parents are sent before any delta hunks that depend
2596
(Martin Pool, #164637)
2598
* Fix typo in limiting offsets coalescing for http, leading to
2599
whole files being downloaded instead of parts.
2600
(Vincent Ladeuil, #165061)
2602
* FTP server errors don't error in the error handling code.
2603
(Robert Collins, #161240)
2605
* Give a clearer message when a pull fails because the source needs
2607
(Martin Pool, #164443)
2609
* It is clearer when a plugin cannot be loaded because of its name, and a
2610
suggestion for an acceptable name is given. (Daniel Watkins, #103023)
2612
* Leave port as None in transport objects if user doesn't
2613
specify a port in urls.
2614
(vincent Ladeuil, #150860)
2616
* Make sure Repository.fetch(self) is properly a no-op for all
2617
Repository implementations. (John Arbash Meinel, #158333)
2619
* Mark .bzr directories as "hidden" on Windows.
2620
(Alexander Belchenko, #71147)
2622
* ``merge --uncommitted`` can now operate on a single file.
2623
(Aaron Bentley, Lukáš Lalinský, #136890)
2625
* Obsolete packs are now cleaned up by pack and autopack operations.
2626
(Robert Collins, #153789)
2628
* Operations pulling data from a smart server where the underlying
2629
repositories are not both annotated/both unannotated will now work.
2630
(Robert Collins, #165304).
2632
* Reconcile now shows progress bars. (Robert Collins, #159351)
2634
* ``RemoteBranch`` was not initializing ``self._revision_id_to_revno_map``
2635
properly. (John Arbash Meinel, #162486)
2637
* Removing an already-removed file reports the file does not exist. (Daniel
2640
* Rename on Windows is able to change filename case.
2641
(Alexander Belchenko, #77740)
2643
* Return error instead of a traceback for ``bzr log -r0``.
2644
(Kent Gibson, #133751)
2646
* Return error instead of a traceback when bzr is unable to create
2647
symlink on some platforms (e.g. on Windows).
2648
(Alexander Belchenko, workaround for #81689)
2650
* Revert doesn't crash when restoring a single file from a deleted
2651
directory. (Aaron Bentley)
2653
* Stderr output via logging mechanism now goes through encoded wrapper
2654
and no more uses utf-8, but terminal encoding instead. So all unicode
2655
strings now should be readable in non-utf-8 terminal.
2656
(Alexander Belchenko, #54173)
2658
* The error message when ``move --after`` should be used makes how to do so
2659
clearer. (Daniel Watkins, #85237)
2661
* Unicode-safe output from ``bzr info``. The output will be encoded
2662
using the terminal encoding and unrepresentable characters will be
2663
replaced by '?'. (Lukáš Lalinský, #151844)
2665
* Working trees are no longer created when pushing into a local no-trees
2666
repo. (Daniel Watkins, #50582)
2668
* Upgrade util/configobj to version 4.4.0.
2669
(Vincent Ladeuil, #151208).
2671
* Wrap medusa ftp test server as an FTPServer feature.
2672
(Vincent Ladeuil, #157752)
2676
* ``osutils.backup_file`` is deprecated. Actually it's not used in bzrlib
2677
during very long time. (Alexander Belchenko)
2679
* The return value of
2680
``VersionedFile.iter_lines_added_or_present_in_versions`` has been
2681
changed. Previously it was an iterator of lines, now it is an iterator of
2682
(line, version_id) tuples. This change has been made to aid reconcile and
2683
fetch operations. (Robert Collins)
2685
* ``bzrlib.repository.get_versioned_file_checker`` is now private.
2688
* The Repository format registry default has been removed; it was previously
2689
obsoleted by the bzrdir format default, which implies a default repository
2695
* Added ``ContainerSerialiser`` and ``ContainerPushParser`` to
2696
``bzrlib.pack``. These classes provide more convenient APIs for generating
2697
and parsing containers from streams rather than from files. (Andrew
2700
* New module ``lru_cache`` providing a cache for use by tasks that need
2701
semi-random access to large amounts of data. (John A Meinel)
2703
* InventoryEntry.diff is now deprecated. Please use diff.DiffTree instead.
2713
* New uninstaller on Win32. (Alexander Belchenko)
2716
bzr 0.92rc1 2007-10-29
2717
----------------------
2719
NOTES WHEN UPGRADING:
2723
* ``bzr`` now returns exit code 4 if an internal error occurred, and
2724
3 if a normal error occurred. (Martin Pool)
2726
* ``pull``, ``merge`` and ``push`` will no longer silently correct some
2727
repository index errors that occured as a result of the Weave disk format.
2728
Instead the ``reconcile`` command needs to be run to correct those
2729
problems if they exist (and it has been able to fix most such problems
2730
since bzr 0.8). Some new problems have been identified during this release
2731
and you should run ``bzr check`` once on every repository to see if you
2732
need to reconcile. If you cannot ``pull`` or ``merge`` from a remote
2733
repository due to mismatched parent errors - a symptom of index errors -
2734
you should simply take a full copy of that remote repository to a clean
2735
directory outside any local repositories, then run reconcile on it, and
2736
finally pull from it locally. (And naturally email the repositories owner
2737
to ask them to upgrade and run reconcile).
2742
* New ``knitpack-experimental`` repository format. This is interoperable with
2743
the ``dirstate-tags`` format but uses a smarter storage design that greatly
2744
speeds up many operations, both local and remote. This new format can be
2745
used as an option to the ``init``, ``init-repository`` and ``upgrade``
2746
commands. See http://doc.bazaar-vcs.org/0.92/developers/knitpack.html
2747
for further details. (Robert Collins)
2749
* For users of bzr-svn (and those testing the prototype subtree support) that
2750
wish to try packs, a new ``knitpack-subtree-experimental`` format has also
2751
been added. This is interoperable with the ``dirstate-subtrees`` format.
2754
* New ``reconfigure`` command. (Aaron Bentley)
2756
* New ``revert --forget-merges`` command, which removes the record of a pending
2757
merge without affecting the working tree contents. (Martin Pool)
2759
* New ``bzr_remote_path`` configuration variable allows finer control of
2760
remote bzr locations than BZR_REMOTE_PATH environment variable.
2763
* New ``launchpad-login`` command to tell Bazaar your Launchpad
2764
user ID. This can then be used by other functions of the
2765
Launchpad plugin. (James Henstridge)
2769
* Commit in quiet mode is now slightly faster as the information to
2770
output is no longer calculated. (Ian Clatworthy)
2772
* Commit no longer checks for new text keys during insertion when the
2773
revision id was deterministically unique. (Robert Collins)
2775
* Committing a change which is not a merge and does not change the number of
2776
files in the tree is faster by utilising the data about whether files are
2777
changed to determine if the tree is unchanged rather than recalculating
2778
it at the end of the commit process. (Robert Collins)
2780
* Inventory serialisation no longer double-sha's the content.
2783
* Knit text reconstruction now avoids making copies of the lines list for
2784
interim texts when building a single text. The new ``apply_delta`` method
2785
on ``KnitContent`` aids this by allowing modification of the revision id
2786
such objects represent. (Robert Collins)
2788
* Pack indices are now partially parsed for specific key lookup using a
2789
bisection approach. (Robert Collins)
2791
* Partial commits are now approximately 40% faster by walking over the
2792
unselected current tree more efficiently. (Robert Collins)
2794
* XML inventory serialisation takes 20% less time while being stricter about
2795
the contents. (Robert Collins)
2797
* Graph ``heads()`` queries have been fixed to no longer access all history
2798
unnecessarily. (Robert Collins)
2802
* ``bzr+https://`` smart server across https now supported.
2803
(John Ferlito, Martin Pool, #128456)
2805
* Mutt is now a supported mail client; set ``mail_client=mutt`` in your
2806
bazaar.conf and ``send`` will use mutt. (Keir Mierle)
2808
* New option ``-c``/``--change`` for ``merge`` command for cherrypicking
2809
changes from one revision. (Alexander Belchenko, #141368)
2811
* Show encodings, locale and list of plugins in the traceback message.
2812
(Martin Pool, #63894)
2814
* Experimental directory formats can now be marked with
2815
``experimental = True`` during registration. (Ian Clatworthy)
2819
* New *Bazaar in Five Minutes* guide. (Matthew Revell)
2821
* The hooks reference documentation is now converted to html as expected.
2826
* Connection error reporting for the smart server has been fixed to
2827
display a user friendly message instead of a traceback.
2828
(Ian Clatworthy, #115601)
2830
* Make sure to use ``O_BINARY`` when opening files to check their
2831
sha1sum. (Alexander Belchenko, John Arbash Meinel, #153493)
2833
* Fix a problem with Win32 handling of the executable bit.
2834
(John Arbash Meinel, #149113)
2836
* ``bzr+ssh://`` and ``sftp://`` URLs that do not specify ports explicitly
2837
no longer assume that means port 22. This allows people using OpenSSH to
2838
override the default port in their ``~/.ssh/config`` if they wish. This
2839
fixes a bug introduced in bzr 0.91. (Andrew Bennetts, #146715)
2841
* Commands reporting exceptions can now be profiled and still have their
2842
data correctly dumped to a file. For example, a ``bzr commit`` with
2843
no changes still reports the operation as pointless but doing so no
2844
longer throws away the profiling data if this command is run with
2845
``--lsprof-file callgrind.out.ci`` say. (Ian Clatworthy)
2847
* Fallback to ftp when paramiko is not installed and sftp can't be used for
2848
``tests/commands`` so that the test suite is still usable without
2850
(Vincent Ladeuil, #59150)
2852
* Fix commit ordering in corner case. (Aaron Bentley, #94975)
2854
* Fix long standing bug in partial commit when there are renames
2855
left in tree. (Robert Collins, #140419)
2857
* Fix selftest semi-random noise during http related tests.
2858
(Vincent Ladeuil, #140614)
2860
* Fix typo in ftp.py making the reconnection fail on temporary errors.
2861
(Vincent Ladeuil, #154259)
2863
* Fix failing test by comparing real paths to cover the case where the TMPDIR
2864
contains a symbolic link.
2865
(Vincent Ladeuil, #141382).
2867
* Fix log against smart server branches that don't support tags.
2868
(James Westby, #140615)
2870
* Fix pycurl http implementation by defining error codes from
2871
pycurl instead of relying on an old curl definition.
2872
(Vincent Ladeuil, #147530)
2874
* Fix 'unprintable error' message when displaying BzrCheckError and
2875
some other exceptions on Python 2.5.
2876
(Martin Pool, #144633)
2878
* Fix ``Inventory.copy()`` and add test for it. (Jelmer Vernooij)
2880
* Handles default value for ListOption in cmd_commit.
2881
(Vincent Ladeuil, #140432)
2883
* HttpServer and FtpServer need to be closed properly or a listening socket
2885
(Vincent Ladeuil, #140055)
2887
* Monitor the .bzr directory created in the top level test
2888
directory to detect leaking tests.
2889
(Vincent Ladeuil, #147986)
2891
* The basename, not the full path, is now used when checking whether
2892
the profiling dump file begins with ``callgrind.out`` or not. This
2893
fixes a bug reported by Aaron Bentley on IRC. (Ian Clatworthy)
2895
* Trivial fix for invoking command ``reconfigure`` without arguments.
2898
* ``WorkingTree.rename_one`` will now raise an error if normalisation of the
2899
new path causes bzr to be unable to access the file. (Robert Collins)
2901
* Correctly detect a NoSuchFile when using a filezilla server. (Gary van der
2906
* ``bzrlib.index.GraphIndex`` now requires a size parameter to the
2907
constructor, for enabling bisection searches. (Robert Collins)
2909
* ``CommitBuilder.record_entry_contents`` now requires the root entry of a
2910
tree be supplied to it, previously failing to do so would trigger a
2911
deprecation warning. (Robert Collins)
2913
* ``KnitVersionedFile.add*`` will no longer cache added records even when
2914
enable_cache() has been called - the caching feature is now exclusively for
2915
reading existing data. (Robert Collins)
2917
* ``ReadOnlyLockError`` is deprecated; ``LockFailed`` is usually more
2918
appropriate. (Martin Pool)
2920
* Removed ``bzrlib.transport.TransportLogger`` - please see the new
2921
``trace+`` transport instead. (Robert Collins)
2923
* Removed previously deprecated varargs interface to ``TestCase.run_bzr`` and
2924
deprecated methods ``TestCase.capture`` and ``TestCase.run_bzr_captured``.
2927
* Removed previous deprecated ``basis_knit`` parameter to the
2928
``KnitVersionedFile`` constructor. (Robert Collins)
2930
* Special purpose method ``TestCase.run_bzr_decode`` is moved to the test_non_ascii
2931
class that needs it.
2934
* The class ``bzrlib.repofmt.knitrepo.KnitRepository3`` has been folded into
2935
``KnitRepository`` by parameters to the constructor. (Robert Collins)
2937
* The ``VersionedFile`` interface now allows content checks to be bypassed
2938
by supplying check_content=False. This saves nearly 30% of the minimum
2939
cost to store a version of a file. (Robert Collins)
2941
* Tree's with bad state such as files with no length or sha will no longer
2942
be silently accepted by the repository XML serialiser. To serialise
2943
inventories without such data, pass working=True to write_inventory.
2946
* ``VersionedFile.fix_parents`` has been removed as a harmful API.
2947
``VersionedFile.join`` will no longer accept different parents on either
2948
side of a join - it will either ignore them, or error, depending on the
2949
implementation. See notes when upgrading for more information.
2954
* ``bzrlib.transport.Transport.put_file`` now returns the number of bytes
2955
put by the method call, to allow avoiding stat-after-write or
2956
housekeeping in callers. (Robert Collins)
2958
* ``bzrlib.xml_serializer.Serializer`` is now responsible for checking that
2959
mandatory attributes are present on serialisation and deserialisation.
2960
This fixes some holes in API usage and allows better separation between
2961
physical storage and object serialisation. (Robert Collins)
2963
* New class ``bzrlib.errors.InternalBzrError`` which is just a convenient
2964
shorthand for deriving from BzrError and setting internal_error = True.
2967
* New method ``bzrlib.mutabletree.update_to_one_parent_via_delta`` for
2968
moving the state of a parent tree to a new version via a delta rather than
2969
a complete replacement tree. (Robert Collins)
2971
* New method ``bzrlib.osutils.minimum_path_selection`` useful for removing
2972
duplication from user input, when a user mentions both a path and an item
2973
contained within that path. (Robert Collins)
2975
* New method ``bzrlib.repository.Repository.is_write_locked`` useful for
2976
determining if a repository is write locked. (Robert Collins)
2978
* New method on ``bzrlib.tree.Tree`` ``path_content_summary`` provides a
2979
tuple containing the key information about a path for commit processing
2980
to complete. (Robert Collins)
2982
* New method on xml serialisers, write_inventory_to_lines, which matches the
2983
API used by knits for adding content. (Robert Collins)
2985
* New module ``bzrlib.bisect_multi`` with generic multiple-bisection-at-once
2986
logic, currently only available for byte-based lookup
2987
(``bisect_multi_bytes``). (Robert Collins)
2989
* New helper ``bzrlib.tuned_gzip.bytes_to_gzip`` which takes a byte string
2990
and returns a gzipped version of the same. This is used to avoid a bunch
2991
of api friction during adding of knit hunks. (Robert Collins)
2993
* New parameter on ``bzrlib.transport.Transport.readv``
2994
``adjust_for_latency`` which changes readv from returning strictly the
2995
requested data to inserted return larger ranges and in forward read order
2996
to reduce the effect of network latency. (Robert Collins)
2998
* New parameter yield_parents on ``Inventory.iter_entries_by_dir`` which
2999
causes the parents of a selected id to be returned recursively, so all the
3000
paths from the root down to each element of selected_file_ids are
3001
returned. (Robert Collins)
3003
* Knit joining has been enhanced to support plain to annotated conversion
3004
and annotated to plain conversion. (Ian Clatworthy)
3006
* The CommitBuilder method ``record_entry_contents`` now returns summary
3007
information about the effect of the commit on the repository. This tuple
3008
contains an inventory delta item if the entry changed from the basis, and a
3009
boolean indicating whether a new file graph node was recorded.
3012
* The python path used in the Makefile can now be overridden.
3013
(Andrew Bennetts, Ian Clatworthy)
3017
* New transport implementation ``trace+`` which is useful for testing,
3018
logging activity taken to its _activity attribute. (Robert Collins)
3020
* When running bzr commands within the test suite, internal exceptions are
3021
not caught and reported in the usual way, but rather allowed to propagate
3022
up and be visible to the test suite. A new API ``run_bzr_catch_user_errors``
3023
makes this behavior available to other users.
3026
* New method ``TestCase.call_catch_warnings`` for testing methods that
3027
raises a Python warning. (Martin Pool)
3035
* Print a warning instead of aborting the ``python setup.py install``
3036
process if building of a C extension is not possible.
3037
(Lukáš Lalinský, Alexander Belchenko)
3039
* Fix commit ordering in corner case (Aaron Bentley, #94975)
3041
* Fix ''bzr info bzr://host/'' and other operations on ''bzr://' URLs with
3042
an implicit port. We were incorrectly raising PathNotChild due to
3043
inconsistent treatment of the ''_port'' attribute on the Transport object.
3044
(Andrew Bennetts, #133965)
3046
* Make RemoteRepository.sprout cope gracefully with servers that don't
3047
support the ``Repository.tarball`` request.
3051
bzr 0.91rc2 2007-09-11
3052
----------------------
3054
* Replaced incorrect tarball for previous release; a debug statement was left
3055
in bzrlib/remote.py.
3058
bzr 0.91rc1 2007-09-11
3059
----------------------
3063
* The default branch and repository format has changed to
3064
``dirstate-tags``, so tag commands are active by default.
3065
This format is compatible with Bazaar 0.15 and later.
3066
This incidentally fixes bug #126141.
3069
* ``--quiet`` or ``-q`` is no longer a global option. If present, it
3070
must now appear after the command name. Scripts doing things like
3071
``bzr -q missing`` need to be rewritten as ``bzr missing -q``.
3076
* New option ``--author`` in ``bzr commit`` to specify the author of the
3077
change, if it's different from the committer. ``bzr log`` and
3078
``bzr annotate`` display the author instead of the committer.
3081
* In addition to global options and command specific options, a set of
3082
standard options are now supported. Standard options are legal for
3083
all commands. The initial set of standard options are:
3085
* ``--help`` or ``-h`` - display help message
3086
* ``--verbose`` or ``-v`` - display additional information
3087
* ``--quiet`` or ``-q`` - only output warnings and errors.
3089
Unlike global options, standard options can be used in aliases and
3090
may have command-specific help. (Ian Clatworthy)
3092
* Verbosity level processing has now been unified. If ``--verbose``
3093
or ``-v`` is specified on the command line multiple times, the
3094
verbosity level is made positive the first time then increased.
3095
If ``--quiet`` or ``-q`` is specified on the command line
3096
multiple times, the verbosity level is made negative the first
3097
time then decreased. To get the default verbosity level of zero,
3098
either specify none of the above , ``--no-verbose`` or ``--no-quiet``.
3099
Note that most commands currently ignore the magnitude of the
3100
verbosity level but do respect *quiet vs normal vs verbose* when
3101
generating output. (Ian Clatworthy)
3103
* ``Branch.hooks`` now supports ``pre_commit`` hook. The hook's signature
3104
is documented in BranchHooks constructor. (Nam T. Nguyen, #102747)
3106
* New ``Repository.stream_knit_data_for_revisions`` request added to the
3107
network protocol for greatly reduced roundtrips when retrieving a set of
3108
revisions. (Andrew Bennetts)
3112
* ``bzr plugins`` now lists the version number for each plugin in square
3113
brackets after the path. (Robert Collins, #125421)
3115
* Pushing, pulling and branching branches with subtree references was not
3116
copying the subtree weave, preventing the file graph from being accessed
3117
and causing errors in commits in clones. (Robert Collins)
3119
* Suppress warning "integer argument expected, got float" from Paramiko,
3120
which sometimes caused false test failures. (Martin Pool)
3122
* Fix bug in bundle 4 that could cause attempts to write data to wrong
3123
versionedfile. (Aaron Bentley)
3125
* Diffs generated using "diff -p" no longer break the patch parser.
3128
* get_transport treats an empty possible_transports list the same as a non-
3129
empty one. (Aaron Bentley)
3131
* patch verification for merge directives is reactivated, and works with
3132
CRLF and CR files. (Aaron Bentley)
3134
* Accept ..\ as a path in revision specifiers. This fixes for example
3135
"-r branch:..\other-branch" on Windows. (Lukáš Lalinský)
3137
* ``BZR_PLUGIN_PATH`` may now contain trailing slashes.
3138
(Blake Winton, #129299)
3140
* man page no longer lists hidden options (#131667, Aaron Bentley)
3142
* ``uncommit --help`` now explains the -r option adequately. (Daniel
3145
* Error messages are now better formatted with parameters (such as
3146
filenames) quoted when necessary. This avoids confusion when directory
3147
names ending in a '.' at the end of messages were confused with a
3148
full stop that may or not have been there. (Daniel Watkins, #129791)
3150
* Fix ``status FILE -r X..Y``. (Lukáš Lalinský)
3152
* If a particular command is an alias, ``help`` will show the alias
3153
instead of claiming there is no help for said alias. (Daniel Watkins,
3156
* TreeTransform-based operations, like pull, merge, revert, and branch,
3157
now roll back if they encounter an error. (Aaron Bentley, #67699)
3159
* ``bzr commit`` now exits cleanly if a character unsupported by the
3160
current encoding is used in the commit message. (Daniel Watkins,
3163
* bzr send uses default values for ranges when only half of an elipsis
3164
is specified ("-r..5" or "-r5.."). (#61685, Aaron Bentley)
3166
* Avoid trouble when Windows ssh calls itself 'plink' but no plink
3167
binary is present. (Martin Albisetti, #107155)
3169
* ``bzr remove`` should remove clean subtrees. Now it will remove (without
3170
needing ``--force``) subtrees that contain no files with text changes or
3171
modified files. With ``--force`` it removes the subtree regardless of
3172
text changes or unknown files. Directories with renames in or out (but
3173
not changed otherwise) will now be removed without needing ``--force``.
3174
Unknown ignored files will be deleted without needing ``--force``.
3175
(Marius Kruger, #111665)
3177
* When two plugins conflict, the source of both the losing and now the
3178
winning definition is shown. (Konstantin Mikhaylov, #5454)
3180
* When committing to a branch, the location being committed to is
3181
displayed. (Daniel Watkins, #52479)
3183
* ``bzr --version`` takes care about encoding of stdout, especially
3184
when output is redirected. (Alexander Belchenko, #131100)
3186
* Prompt for an ftp password if none is provided.
3187
(Vincent Ladeuil, #137044)
3189
* Reuse bound branch associated transport to avoid multiple
3191
(Vincent Ladeuil, #128076, #131396)
3193
* Overwrite conflicting tags by ``push`` and ``pull`` if the
3194
``--overwrite`` option is specified. (Lukáš Lalinský, #93947)
3196
* In checkouts, tags are copied into the master branch when created,
3197
changed or deleted, and are copied into the checkout when it is
3198
updated. (Martin Pool, #93856, #93860)
3200
* Print a warning instead of aborting the ``python setup.py install``
3201
process if building of a C extension is not possible.
3202
(Lukáš Lalinský, Alexander Belchenko)
3206
* Add the option "--show-diff" to the commit command in order to display
3207
the diff during the commit log creation. (Goffredo Baroncelli)
3209
* ``pull`` and ``merge`` are much faster at installing bundle format 4.
3212
* ``pull -v`` no longer includes deltas, making it much faster.
3215
* ``send`` now sends the directive as an attachment by default.
3216
(Aaron Bentley, Lukáš Lalinský, Alexander Belchenko)
3218
* Documentation updates (Martin Albisetti)
3220
* Help on debug flags is now included in ``help global-options``.
3221
(Daniel Watkins, #124853)
3223
* Parameters passed on the command line are checked to ensure they are
3224
supported by the encoding in use. (Daniel Watkins)
3226
* The compression used within the bzr repository has changed from zlib
3227
level 9 to the zlib default level. This improves commit performance with
3228
only a small increase in space used (and in some cases a reduction in
3229
space). (Robert Collins)
3231
* Initial commit no longer SHAs files twice and now reuses the path
3232
rather than looking it up again, making it faster.
3235
* New option ``-c``/``--change`` for ``diff`` and ``status`` to show
3236
changes in one revision. (Lukáš Lalinský)
3238
* If versioned files match a given ignore pattern, a warning is now
3239
given. (Daniel Watkins, #48623)
3241
* ``bzr status`` now has -S as a short name for --short and -V as a
3242
short name for --versioned. These have been added to assist users
3243
migrating from Subversion: ``bzr status -SV`` is now like
3244
``svn status -q``. (Daniel Watkins, #115990)
3246
* Added C implementation of ``PatienceSequenceMatcher``, which is about
3247
10x faster than the Python version. This speeds up commands that
3248
need file diffing, such as ``bzr commit`` or ``bzr diff``.
3251
* HACKING has been extended with a large section on core developer tasks.
3254
* Add ``branches`` and ``standalone-trees`` as online help topics and
3255
include them as Concepts within the User Reference.
3256
(Paul Moore, Ian Clatworthy)
3258
* ``check`` can detect versionedfile parent references that are
3259
inconsistent with revision and inventory info, and ``reconcile`` can fix
3260
them. These faulty references were generated by 0.8-era releases,
3261
so repositories which were manipulated by old bzrs should be
3262
checked, and possibly reconciled ASAP. (Aaron Bentley, Andrew Bennetts)
3266
* ``Branch.append_revision`` is removed altogether; please use
3267
``Branch.set_last_revision_info`` instead. (Martin Pool)
3269
* CommitBuilder now advertises itself as requiring the root entry to be
3270
supplied. This only affects foreign repository implementations which reuse
3271
CommitBuilder directly and have changed record_entry_contents to require
3272
that the root not be supplied. This should be precisely zero plugins
3273
affected. (Robert Collins)
3275
* The ``add_lines`` methods on ``VersionedFile`` implementations has changed
3276
its return value to include the sha1 and length of the inserted text. This
3277
allows the avoidance of double-sha1 calculations during commit.
3280
* ``Transport.should_cache`` has been removed. It was not called in the
3281
previous release. (Martin Pool)
3285
* Tests may now raise TestNotApplicable to indicate they shouldn't be
3286
run in a particular scenario. (Martin Pool)
3288
* New function multiply_tests_from_modules to give a simpler interface
3289
to test parameterization. (Martin Pool, Robert Collins)
3291
* ``Transport.should_cache`` has been removed. It was not called in the
3292
previous release. (Martin Pool)
3294
* NULL_REVISION is returned to indicate the null revision, not None.
3297
* Use UTF-8 encoded StringIO for log tests to avoid failures on
3298
non-ASCII committer names. (Lukáš Lalinský)
3302
* ``bzrlib.plugin.all_plugins`` has been deprecated in favour of
3303
``bzrlib.plugin.plugins()`` which returns PlugIn objects that provide
3304
useful functionality for determining the path of a plugin, its tests, and
3305
its version information. (Robert Collins)
3307
* Add the option user_encoding to the function 'show_diff_trees()'
3308
in order to move the user encoding at the UI level. (Goffredo Baroncelli)
3310
* Add the function make_commit_message_template_encoded() and the function
3311
edit_commit_message_encoded() which handle encoded strings.
3312
This is done in order to mix the commit messages (which is a unicode
3313
string), and the diff which is a raw string. (Goffredo Baroncelli)
3315
* CommitBuilder now defaults to using add_lines_with_ghosts, reducing
3316
overhead on non-weave repositories which don't require all parents to be
3317
present. (Robert Collins)
3319
* Deprecated method ``find_previous_heads`` on
3320
``bzrlib.inventory.InventoryEntry``. This has been superseded by the use
3321
of ``parent_candidates`` and a separate heads check via the repository
3322
API. (Robert Collins)
3324
* New trace function ``mutter_callsite`` will print out a subset of the
3325
stack to the log, which can be useful for gathering debug details.
3328
* ``bzrlib.pack.ContainerWriter`` now tracks how many records have been
3329
added via a public attribute records_written. (Robert Collins)
3331
* New method ``bzrlib.transport.Transport.get_recommended_page_size``.
3332
This provides a hint to users of transports as to the reasonable
3333
minimum data to read. In principle this can take latency and
3334
bandwidth into account on a per-connection basis, but for now it
3335
just has hard coded values based on the url. (e.g. http:// has a large
3336
page size, file:// has a small one.) (Robert Collins)
3338
* New method on ``bzrlib.transport.Transport`` ``open_write_stream`` allows
3339
incremental addition of data to a file without requiring that all the
3340
data be buffered in memory. (Robert Collins)
3342
* New methods on ``bzrlib.knit.KnitVersionedFile``:
3343
``get_data_stream(versions)``, ``insert_data_stream(stream)`` and
3344
``get_format_signature()``. These provide some infrastructure for
3345
efficiently streaming the knit data for a set of versions over the smart
3348
* Knits with no annotation cache still produce correct annotations.
3351
* Three new methods have been added to ``bzrlib.trace``:
3352
``set_verbosity_level``, ``get_verbosity_level`` and ``is_verbose``.
3353
``set_verbosity_level`` expects a numeric value: negative for quiet,
3354
zero for normal, positive for verbose. The size of the number can be
3355
used to determine just how quiet or verbose the application should be.
3356
The existing ``be_quiet`` and ``is_quiet`` routines have been
3357
integrated into this new scheme. (Ian Clatworthy)
3359
* Options can now be delcared with a ``custom_callback`` parameter. If
3360
set, this routine is called after the option is processed. This feature
3361
is now used by the standard options ``verbose`` and ``quiet`` so that
3362
setting one implicitly resets the other. (Ian Clatworthy)
3364
* Rather than declaring a new option from scratch in order to provide
3365
custom help, a centrally registered option can be decorated using the
3366
new ``bzrlib.Option.custom_help`` routine. In particular, this routine
3367
is useful when declaring better help for the ``verbose`` and ``quiet``
3368
standard options as the base definition of these is now more complex
3369
than before thanks to their use of a custom callback. (Ian Clatworthy)
3371
* Tree._iter_changes(specific_file=[]) now iterates through no files,
3372
instead of iterating through all files. None is used to iterate through
3373
all files. (Aaron Bentley)
3375
* WorkingTree.revert() now accepts None to revert all files. The use of
3376
[] to revert all files is deprecated. (Aaron Bentley)
3384
* Documentation is now organized into multiple directories with a level
3385
added for different languages or locales. Added the Mini Tutorial
3386
and Quick Start Summary (en) documents from the Wiki, improving the
3387
content and readability of the former. Formatted NEWS as Release Notes
3388
complete with a Table of Conents, one heading per release. Moved the
3389
Developer Guide into the main document catalog and provided a link
3390
from the developer document catalog back to the main one.
3391
(Ian Clatworthy, Sabin Iacob, Alexander Belchenko)
3396
* The static convenience method ``BzrDir.create_repository``
3397
is deprecated. Callers should instead create a ``BzrDir`` instance
3398
and call ``create_repository`` on that. (Martin Pool)
3401
bzr 0.90rc1 2007-08-14
3402
----------------------
3406
* ``bzr init`` should connect to the remote location one time only. We
3407
have been connecting several times because we forget to pass around the
3408
Transport object. This modifies ``BzrDir.create_branch_convenience``,
3409
so that we can give it the Transport we already have.
3410
(John Arbash Meinel, Vincent Ladeuil, #111702)
3412
* Get rid of sftp connection cache (get rid of the FTP one too).
3413
(Vincent Ladeuil, #43731)
3415
* bzr branch {local|remote} remote don't try to create a working tree
3417
(Vincent Ladeuil, #112173)
3419
* All identified multiple connections for a single bzr command have been
3420
fixed. See bzrlib/tests/commands directory.
3423
* ``bzr rm`` now does not insist on ``--force`` to delete files that
3424
have been renamed but not otherwise modified. (Marius Kruger,
3427
* ``bzr selftest --bench`` no longer emits deprecation warnings
3430
* ``bzr status`` now honours FILE parameters for conflict lists
3431
(Aaron Bentley, #127606)
3433
* ``bzr checkout`` now honours -r when reconstituting a working tree.
3434
It also honours -r 0. (Aaron Bentley, #127708)
3436
* ``bzr add *`` no more fails on Windows if working tree contains
3437
non-ascii file names. (Kuno Meyer, #127361)
3439
* allow ``easy_install bzr`` runs without fatal errors.
3440
(Alexander Belchenko, #125521)
3442
* Graph._filter_candidate_lca does not raise KeyError if a candidate
3443
is eliminated just before it would normally be examined. (Aaron Bentley)
3445
* SMTP connection failures produce a nice message, not a traceback.
3450
* Don't show "dots" progress indicators when run non-interactively, such
3451
as from cron. (Martin Pool)
3453
* ``info`` now formats locations more nicely and lists "submit" and
3454
"public" branches (Aaron Bentley)
3456
* New ``pack`` command that will trigger database compression within
3457
the repository (Robert Collins)
3459
* Implement ``_KnitIndex._load_data`` in a pyrex extension. The pyrex
3460
version is approximately 2-3x faster at parsing a ``.kndx`` file.
3461
Which yields a measurable improvement for commands which have to
3462
read from the repository, such as a 1s => 0.75s improvement in
3463
``bzr diff`` when there are changes to be shown. (John Arbash Meinel)
3465
* Merge is now faster. Depending on the scenario, it can be more than 2x
3466
faster. (Aaron Bentley)
3468
* Give a clearer warning, and allow ``python setup.py install`` to
3469
succeed even if pyrex is not available.
3470
(John Arbash Meinel)
3472
* ``DirState._read_dirblocks`` now has an optional Pyrex
3473
implementation. This improves the speed of any command that has to
3474
read the entire DirState. (``diff``, ``status``, etc, improve by
3476
``bisect_dirblocks`` has also been improved, which helps all
3477
``_get_entry`` type calls (whenever we are searching for a
3478
particular entry in the in-memory DirState).
3479
(John Arbash Meinel)
3481
* ``bzr pull`` and ``bzr push`` no longer do a complete walk of the
3482
branch revision history for ui display unless -v is supplied.
3485
* ``bzr log -rA..B`` output shifted to the left margin if the log only
3486
contains merge revisions. (Kent Gibson)
3488
* The ``plugins`` command is now public with improved help.
3491
* New bundle and merge directive formats are faster to generate, and
3493
* Annotate merge now works when there are local changes. (Aaron Bentley)
3495
* Commit now only shows the progress in terms of directories instead of
3496
entries. (Ian Clatworthy)
3498
* Fix ``KnitRepository.get_revision_graph`` to not request the graph 2
3499
times. This makes ``get_revision_graph`` 2x faster. (John Arbash
3502
* Fix ``VersionedFile.get_graph()`` to avoid using
3503
``set.difference_update(other)``, which has bad scaling when
3504
``other`` is large. This improves ``VF.get_graph([version_id])`` for
3505
a 12.5k graph from 2.9s down to 200ms. (John Arbash Meinel)
3507
* The ``--lsprof-file`` option now generates output for KCacheGrind if
3508
the file starts with ``callgrind.out``. This matches the default file
3509
filtering done by KCacheGrind's Open Dialog. (Ian Clatworthy)
3511
* Fix ``bzr update`` to avoid an unnecessary
3512
``branch.get_master_branch`` call, which avoids 1 extra connection
3513
to the remote server. (Partial fix for #128076, John Arbash Meinel)
3515
* Log errors from the smart server in the trace file, to make debugging
3516
test failures (and live failures!) easier. (Andrew Bennetts)
3518
* The HTML version of the man page has been superceded by a more
3519
comprehensive manual called the Bazaar User Reference. This manual
3520
is completed generated from the online help topics. As part of this
3521
change, limited reStructuredText is now explicitly supported in help
3522
topics and command help with 'unnatural' markup being removed prior
3523
to display by the online help or inclusion in the man page.
3526
* HTML documentation now use files extension ``*.html``
3527
(Alexander Belchenko)
3529
* The cache of ignore definitions is now cleared in WorkingTree.unlock()
3530
so that changes to .bzrignore aren't missed. (#129694, Daniel Watkins)
3532
* ``bzr selftest --strict`` fails if there are any missing features or
3533
expected test failures. (Daniel Watkins, #111914)
3535
* Link to registration survey added to README. (Ian Clatworthy)
3537
* Windows standalone installer show link to registration survey
3538
when installation finished. (Alexander Belchenko)
3542
* Deprecated dictionary ``bzrlib.option.SHORT_OPTIONS`` removed.
3543
Options are now required to provide a help string and it must
3544
comply with the style guide by being one or more sentences with an
3545
initial capital and final period. (Martin Pool)
3547
* KnitIndex.get_parents now returns tuples. (Robert Collins)
3549
* Ancient unused ``Repository.text_store`` attribute has been removed.
3552
* The ``bzrlib.pack`` interface has changed to use tuples of bytestrings
3553
rather than just bytestrings, making it easier to represent multiple
3554
element names. As this interface was not used by any internal facilities
3555
since it was introduced in 0.18 no API compatibility is being preserved.
3556
The serialised form of these packs is identical with 0.18 when a single
3557
element tuple is in use. (Robert Collins)
3561
* merge now uses ``iter_changes`` to calculate changes, which makes room for
3562
future performance increases. It is also more consistent with other
3563
operations that perform comparisons, and reduces reliance on
3564
Tree.inventory. (Aaron Bentley)
3566
* Refactoring of transport classes connected to a remote server.
3567
ConnectedTransport is a new class that serves as a basis for all
3568
transports needing to connect to a remote server. transport.split_url
3569
have been deprecated, use the static method on the object instead. URL
3570
tests have been refactored too.
3573
* Better connection sharing for ConnectedTransport objects.
3574
transport.get_transport() now accepts a 'possible_transports' parameter.
3575
If a newly requested transport can share a connection with one of the
3579
* Most functions now accept ``bzrlib.revision.NULL_REVISION`` to indicate
3580
the null revision, and consider using ``None`` for this purpose
3581
deprecated. (Aaron Bentley)
3583
* New ``index`` module with abstract index functionality. This will be
3584
used during the planned changes in the repository layer. Currently the
3585
index layer provides a graph aware immutable index, a builder for the
3586
same index type to allow creating them, and finally a composer for
3587
such indices to allow the use of many indices in a single query. The
3588
index performance is not optimised, however the API is stable to allow
3589
development on top of the index. (Robert Collins)
3591
* ``bzrlib.dirstate.cmp_by_dirs`` can be used to compare two paths by
3592
their directory sections. This is equivalent to comparing
3593
``path.split('/')``, only without having to split the paths.
3594
This has a Pyrex implementation available.
3595
(John Arbash Meinel)
3597
* New transport decorator 'unlistable+' which disables the list_dir
3598
functionality for testing.
3600
* Deprecated ``change_entry`` in transform.py. (Ian Clatworthy)
3602
* RevisionTree.get_weave is now deprecated. Tree.plan_merge is now used
3603
for performing annotate-merge. (Aaron Bentley)
3605
* New EmailMessage class to create email messages. (Adeodato Simó)
3607
* Unused functions on the private interface KnitIndex have been removed.
3610
* New ``knit.KnitGraphIndex`` which provides a ``KnitIndex`` layered on top
3611
of a ``index.GraphIndex``. (Robert Collins)
3613
* New ``knit.KnitVersionedFile.iter_parents`` method that allows querying
3614
the parents of many knit nodes at once, reducing round trips to the
3615
underlying index. (Robert Collins)
3617
* Graph now has an is_ancestor method, various bits use it.
3620
* The ``-Dhpss`` flag now includes timing information. As well as
3621
logging when a new connection is opened. (John Arbash Meinel)
3623
* ``bzrlib.pack.ContainerWriter`` now returns an offset, length tuple to
3624
callers when inserting data, allowing generation of readv style access
3625
during pack creation, without needing a separate pass across the output
3626
pack to gather such details. (Robert Collins)
3628
* ``bzrlib.pack.make_readv_reader`` allows readv based access to pack
3629
files that are stored on a transport. (Robert Collins)
3631
* New ``Repository.has_same_location`` method that reports if two
3632
repository objects refer to the same repository (although with some risk
3633
of false negatives). (Andrew Bennetts)
3635
* InterTree.compare now passes require_versioned on correctly.
3638
* New methods on Repository - ``start_write_group``,
3639
``commit_write_group``, ``abort_write_group`` and ``is_in_write_group`` -
3640
which provide a clean hook point for transactional Repositories - ones
3641
where all the data for a fetch or commit needs to be made atomically
3642
available in one step. This allows the write lock to remain while making
3643
a series of data insertions. (e.g. data conversion). (Robert Collins)
3645
* In ``bzrlib.knit`` the internal interface has been altered to use
3646
3-tuples (index, pos, length) rather than two-tuples (pos, length) to
3647
describe where data in a knit is, allowing knits to be split into
3648
many files. (Robert Collins)
3650
* ``bzrlib.knit._KnitData`` split into cache management and physical access
3651
with two access classes - ``_PackAccess`` and ``_KnitAccess`` defined.
3652
The former provides access into a .pack file, and the latter provides the
3653
current production repository form of .knit files. (Robert Collins)
3657
* Remove selftest ``--clean-output``, ``--numbered-dirs`` and
3658
``--keep-output`` options, which are obsolete now that tests
3659
are done within directories in $TMPDIR. (Martin Pool)
3661
* The SSH_AUTH_SOCK environment variable is now reset to avoid
3662
interaction with any running ssh agents. (Jelmer Vernooij, #125955)
3664
* run_bzr_subprocess handles parameters the same way as run_bzr:
3665
either a string or a list of strings should be passed as the first
3666
parameter. Varargs-style parameters are deprecated. (Aaron Bentley)
3670
--------------------
3674
* Fix 'bzr add' crash under Win32 (Kuno Meyer)
3677
bzr 0.18rc1 2007-07-10
3678
-----------------------
3682
* Do not suppress pipe errors, etc. in non-display commands
3683
(Alexander Belchenko, #87178)
3685
* Display a useful error message when the user requests to annotate
3686
a file that is not present in the specified revision.
3687
(James Westby, #122656)
3689
* Commands that use status flags now have a reference to 'help
3690
status-flags'. (Daniel Watkins, #113436)
3692
* Work around python-2.4.1 inhability to correctly parse the
3693
authentication header.
3694
(Vincent Ladeuil, #121889)
3696
* Use exact encoding for merge directives. (Adeodato Simó, #120591)
3698
* Fix tempfile permissions error in smart server tar bundling under
3699
Windows. (Martin _, #119330)
3701
* Fix detection of directory entries in the inventory. (James Westby)
3703
* Fix handling of http code 400: Bad Request When issuing too many ranges.
3704
(Vincent Ladeuil, #115209)
3706
* Issue a CONNECT request when connecting to an https server
3707
via a proxy to enable SSL tunneling.
3708
(Vincent Ladeuil, #120678)
3710
* Fix ``bzr log -r`` to support selecting merge revisions, both
3711
individually and as part of revision ranges.
3712
(Kent Gibson, #4663)
3714
* Don't leave cruft behind when failing to acquire a lockdir.
3715
(Martin Pool, #109169)
3717
* Don't use the '-f' strace option during tests.
3718
(Vincent Ladeuil, #102019).
3720
* Warn when setting ``push_location`` to a value that will be masked by
3721
locations.conf. (Aaron Bentley, #122286)
3723
* Fix commit ordering in corner case (Aaron Bentley, #94975)
3725
* Make annotate behave in a non-ASCII world (Adeodato Simó).
3729
* The --lsprof-file option now dumps a text rendering of the profiling
3730
information if the filename ends in ".txt". It will also convert the
3731
profiling information to a format suitable for KCacheGrind if the
3732
output filename ends in ".callgrind". Fixes to the lsprofcalltree
3733
conversion process by Jean Paul Calderone and Itamar were also merged.
3734
See http://ddaa.net/blog/python/lsprof-calltree. (Ian Clatworthy)
3736
* ``info`` now defaults to non-verbose mode, displaying only paths and
3737
abbreviated format info. ``info -v`` displays all the information
3738
formerly displayed by ``info``. (Aaron Bentley, Adeodato Simó)
3740
* ``bzr missing`` now has better option names ``--this`` and ``--other``.
3743
* The internal ``weave-list`` command has become ``versionedfile-list``,
3744
and now lists knits as well as weaves. (Aaron Bentley)
3746
* Automatic merge base selection uses a faster algorithm that chooses
3747
better bases in criss-cross merge situations (Aaron Bentley)
3749
* Progress reporting in ``commit`` has been improved. The various logical
3750
stages are now reported on as follows, namely:
3752
* Collecting changes [Entry x/y] - Stage n/m
3753
* Saving data locally - Stage n/m
3754
* Uploading data to master branch - Stage n/m
3755
* Updating the working tree - Stage n/m
3756
* Running post commit hooks - Stage n/m
3758
If there is no master branch, the 3rd stage is omitted and the total
3759
number of stages is adjusted accordingly.
3761
Each hook that is run after commit is listed with a name (as hooks
3762
can be slow it is useful feedback).
3763
(Ian Clatworthy, Robert Collins)
3765
* Various operations that are now faster due to avoiding unnecessary
3766
topological sorts. (Aaron Bentley)
3768
* Make merge directives robust against broken bundles. (Aaron Bentley)
3770
* The lsprof filename note is emitted via trace.note(), not standard
3771
output. (Aaron Bentley)
3773
* ``bzrlib`` now exports explicit API compatibility information to assist
3774
library users and plugins. See the ``bzrlib.api`` module for details.
3777
* Remove unnecessary lock probes when acquiring a lockdir.
3780
* ``bzr --version`` now shows the location of the bzr log file, which
3781
is especially useful on Windows. (Martin Pool)
3783
* -D now supports hooks to get debug tracing of hooks (though its currently
3784
minimal in nature). (Robert Collins)
3786
* Long log format reports deltas on merge revisions.
3787
(John Arbash Meinel, Kent Gibson)
3789
* Make initial push over ftp more resilient. (John Arbash Meinel)
3791
* Print a summary of changes for update just like pull does.
3792
(Daniel Watkins, #113990)
3794
* Add a -Dhpss option to trace smart protocol requests and responses.
3799
* Testing cleanups -
3800
``bzrlib.repository.RepositoryTestProviderAdapter`` has been moved
3801
to ``bzrlib.tests.repository_implementations``;
3802
``bzrlib.repository.InterRepositoryTestProviderAdapter`` has been moved
3803
to ``bzrlib.tests.interrepository_implementations``;
3804
``bzrlib.transport.TransportTestProviderAdapter`` has moved to
3805
``bzrlib.tests.test_transport_implementations``.
3806
``bzrlib.branch.BranchTestProviderAdapter`` has moved to
3807
``bzrlib.tests.branch_implementations``.
3808
``bzrlib.bzrdir.BzrDirTestProviderAdapter`` has moved to
3809
``bzrlib.tests.bzrdir_implementations``.
3810
``bzrlib.versionedfile.InterVersionedFileTestProviderAdapter`` has moved
3811
to ``bzrlib.tests.interversionedfile_implementations``.
3812
``bzrlib.store.revision.RevisionStoreTestProviderAdapter`` has moved to
3813
``bzrlib.tests.revisionstore_implementations``.
3814
``bzrlib.workingtree.WorkingTreeTestProviderAdapter`` has moved to
3815
``bzrlib.tests.workingtree_implementations``.
3816
These changes are an API break in the testing infrastructure only.
3819
* Relocate TestCaseWithRepository to be more central. (Robert Collins)
3821
* ``bzrlib.add.smart_add_tree`` will no longer perform glob expansion on
3822
win32. Callers of the function should do this and use the new
3823
``MutableTree.smart_add`` method instead. (Robert Collins)
3825
* ``bzrlib.add.glob_expand_for_win32`` is now
3826
``bzrlib.win32utils.glob_expand``. (Robert Collins)
3828
* ``bzrlib.add.FastPath`` is now private and moved to
3829
``bzrlib.mutabletree._FastPath``. (Robert Collins, Martin Pool)
3831
* ``LockDir.wait`` removed. (Martin Pool)
3833
* The ``SmartServer`` hooks API has changed for the ``server_started`` and
3834
``server_stopped`` hooks. The first parameter is now an iterable of
3835
backing URLs rather than a single URL. This is to reflect that many
3836
URLs may map to the external URL of the server. E.g. the server interally
3837
may have a chrooted URL but also the local file:// URL will be at the
3838
same location. (Robert Collins)
3842
* New SMTPConnection class to unify email handling. (Adeodato Simó)
3844
* Fix documentation of BzrError. (Adeodato Simó)
3846
* Make BzrBadParameter an internal error. (Adeodato Simó)
3848
* Remove use of 'assert False' to raise an exception unconditionally.
3851
* Give a cleaner error when failing to decode knit index entry.
3854
* TreeConfig would mistakenly search the top level when asked for options
3855
from a section. It now respects the section argument and only
3856
searches the specified section. (James Westby)
3858
* Improve ``make api-docs`` output. (John Arbash Meinel)
3860
* Use os.lstat rather than os.stat for osutils.make_readonly and
3861
osutils.make_writeable. This makes the difftools plugin more
3862
robust when dangling symlinks are found. (Elliot Murphy)
3864
* New ``-Dlock`` option to log (to ~/.bzr.log) information on when
3865
lockdirs are taken or released. (Martin Pool)
3867
* ``bzrlib`` Hooks are now nameable using ``Hooks.name_hook``. This
3868
allows a nicer UI when hooks are running as the current hook can
3869
be displayed. (Robert Collins)
3871
* ``Transport.get`` has had its interface made more clear for ease of use.
3872
Retrieval of a directory must now fail with either 'PathError' at open
3873
time, or raise 'ReadError' on a read. (Robert Collins)
3875
* New method ``_maybe_expand_globs`` on the ``Command`` class for
3876
dealing with unexpanded glob lists - e.g. on the win32 platform. This
3877
was moved from ``bzrlib.add._prepare_file_list``. (Robert Collins)
3879
* ``bzrlib.add.smart_add`` and ``bzrlib.add.smart_add_tree`` are now
3880
deprecated in favour of ``MutableTree.smart_add``. (Robert Collins,
3883
* New method ``external_url`` on Transport for obtaining the url to
3884
hand to external processes. (Robert Collins)
3886
* Teach windows installers to build pyrex/C extensions.
3887
(Alexander Belchenko)
3891
* Removed the ``--keep-output`` option from selftest and clean up test
3892
directories as they're used. This reduces the IO load from
3893
running the test suite and cuts the time by about half.
3894
(Andrew Bennetts, Martin Pool)
3896
* Add scenarios as a public attribute on the TestAdapter classes to allow
3897
modification of the generated scenarios before adaption and easier
3898
testing. (Robert Collins)
3900
* New testing support class ``TestScenarioApplier`` which multiplies
3901
out a single teste by a list of supplied scenarios. (RobertCollins)
3903
* Setting ``repository_to_test_repository`` on a repository_implementations
3904
test will cause it to be called during repository creation, allowing the
3905
testing of repository classes which are not based around the Format
3906
concept. For example a repository adapter can be tested in this manner,
3907
by altering the repository scenarios to include a scenario that sets this
3908
attribute during the test parameterisation in
3909
``bzrlib.tests.repository.repository_implementations``. (Robert Collins)
3911
* Clean up many of the APIs for blackbox testing of Bazaar. The standard
3912
interface is now self.run_bzr. The command to run can be passed as
3913
either a list of parameters, a string containing the command line, or
3914
(deprecated) varargs parameters. (Martin Pool)
3916
* The base TestCase now isolates tests from -D parameters by clearing
3917
``debug.debug_flags`` and restores it afterwards. (Robert Collins)
3919
* Add a relpath parameter to get_transport methods in test framework to
3920
avoid useless cloning.
3921
(Vincent Ladeuil, #110448)
3925
--------------------
3929
* Fix crash of commit due to wrong lookup of filesystem encoding.
3930
(Colin Watson, #120647)
3932
* Revert logging just to stderr in commit as broke unicode filenames.
3933

-----------------------
3939
NOTES WHEN UPGRADING:
3941
* The kind() and is_executable() APIs on the WorkingTree interface no
3942
longer implicitly (read) locks and unlocks the tree. This *might*
3943
impact some plug-ins and tools using this part of the API. If you find
3944
an issue that may be caused by this change, please let us know,
3945
particularly the plug-in/tool maintainer. If encountered, the API
3946
fix is to surround kind() and is_executable() calls with lock_read()
3947
and unlock() like so::
3949
work_tree.lock_read()
3951
kind = work_tree.kind(...)
3956
* Rework of LogFormatter API to provide beginning/end of log hooks and to
3957
encapsulate the details of the revision to be logged in a LogRevision
3959
In long log formats, merge revision ids are only shown when --show-ids
3960
is specified, and are labelled "revision-id:", as per mainline
3961
revisions, instead of "merged:". (Kent Gibson)
3963
* New ``BranchBuilder`` API which allows the construction of particular
3964
histories quickly. Useful for testing and potentially other applications
3965
too. (Robert Collins)
3969
* There are two new help topics, working-trees and repositories that
3970
attempt to explain these concepts. (James Westby, John Arbash Meinel,
3973
* Added ``bzr log --limit`` to report a limited number of revisions.
3974
(Kent Gibson, #3659)
3976
* Revert does not try to preserve file contents that were originally
3977
produced by reverting to a historical revision. (Aaron Bentley)
3979
* ``bzr log --short`` now includes ``[merge]`` for revisions which
3980
have more than one parent. This is a small improvement to help
3981
understanding what changes have occurred
3982
(John Arbash Meinel, #83887)
3984
* TreeTransform avoids many renames when contructing large trees,
3985
improving speed. 3.25x speedups have been observed for construction of
3986
kernel-sized-trees, and checkouts are 1.28x faster. (Aaron Bentley)
3988
* Commit on large trees is now faster. In my environment, a commit of
3989
a small change to the Mozilla tree (55k files) has dropped from
3990
66 seconds to 32 seconds. For a small tree of 600 files, commit of a
3991
small change is 33% faster. (Ian Clatworthy)
3993
* New --create-prefix option to bzr init, like for push. (Daniel Watkins,
3998
* ``bzr push`` should only connect to the remote location one time.
3999
We have been connecting 3 times because we forget to pass around
4000
the Transport object. This adds ``BzrDir.clone_on_transport()``, so
4001
that we can pass in the Transport that we already have.
4002
(John Arbash Meinel, #75721)
4004
* ``DirState.set_state_from_inventory()`` needs to properly order
4005
based on split paths, not just string paths.
4006
(John Arbash Meinel, #115947)
4008
* Let TestUIFactoy encode the password prompt with its own stdout.
4009
(Vincent Ladeuil, #110204)
4011
* pycurl should take use the range header that takes the range hint
4013
(Vincent Ladeuil, #112719)
4015
* WorkingTree4.get_file_sha1 no longer raises an exception when invoked
4016
on a missing file. (Aaron Bentley, #118186)
4018
* WorkingTree.remove works correctly with tree references, and when pwd is
4019
not the tree root. (Aaron Bentley)
4021
* Merge no longer fails when a file is renamed in one tree and deleted
4022
in the other. (Aaron Bentley, #110279)
4024
* ``revision-info`` now accepts dotted revnos, doesn't require a tree,
4025
and defaults to the last revision (Matthew Fuller, #90048)
4027
* Tests no longer fail when BZR_REMOTE_PATH is set in the environment.
4028

* ``bzr branch -r revid:foo`` can be used to branch any revision in
4031
your repository. (Previously Branch6 only supported revisions in your
4032
mainline). (John Arbash Meinel, #115343)
4035
--------------------
4039
* Handle when you have 2 directories with similar names, but one has a
4040
hyphen. (``'abc'`` versus ``'abc-2'``). The WT4._iter_changes
4041
iterator was using direct comparison and ``'abc/a'`` sorts after
4042
``'abc-2'``, but ``('abc', 'a')`` sorts before ``('abc-2',)``.
4043
(John Arbash Meinel, #111227)
4045
* Handle when someone renames a file on disk without telling bzr.
4046
Previously we would report the first file as missing, but not show
4047
the new unknown file. (John Arbash Meinel, #111288)
4049
* Avoid error when running hooks after pulling into or pushing from
4050
a branch bound to a smartserver branch. (Martin Pool, #111968)
4054
* Move developer documentation to doc/developers/. This reduces clutter in
4055
the root of the source tree and allows HACKING to be split into multiple
4056
files. (Robert Collins, Alexander Belchenko)
4058
* Clean up the ``WorkingTree4._iter_changes()`` internal loops as well as
4059
``DirState.update_entry()``. This optimizes the core logic for ``bzr
4060
diff`` and ``bzr status`` significantly improving the speed of
4061
both. (John Arbash Meinel)
4063
bzr 0.16rc2 2007-04-30
4064
-----------------------
4068
* Handle the case when you delete a file, and then rename another file
4069
on top of it. Also handle the case of ``bzr rm --keep foo``. ``bzr
4070
status`` should show the removed file and an unknown file in its
4071
place. (John Arbash Meinel, #109993)
4073
* Bundles properly read and write revision properties that have an
4074
empty value. And when the value is not ASCII.
4075
(John Arbash Meinel, #109613)
4077
* Fix the bzr commit message to be in text mode.
4078
(Alexander Belchenko, #110901)
4080
* Also handle when you rename a file and create a file where it used
4081
to be. (John Arbash Meinel, #110256)
4083
* ``WorkingTree4._iter_changes`` should not descend into unversioned
4084
directories. (John Arbash Meinel, #110399)
4086
bzr 0.16rc1 2007-04-26
4087
-----------------------
4089
NOTES WHEN UPGRADING:
4091
* ``bzr remove`` and ``bzr rm`` will now remove the working file, if
4092
it could be recovered again.
4093
This has been done for consistency with svn and the unix rm command.
4094
The old ``remove`` behaviour has been retained in the new option
4095
``bzr remove --keep``, which will just stop versioning the file,
4097
``bzr remove --force`` have been added which will always delete the
4099
``bzr remove`` is also more verbose.
4100
(Marius Kruger, #82602)
4104
* Merge directives can now be supplied as input to `merge` and `pull`,
4105
like bundles can. (Aaron Bentley)
4107
* Sending the SIGQUIT signal to bzr, which can be done on Unix by
4108
pressing Control-Backslash, drops bzr into a debugger. Type ``'c'``
4109
to continue. This can be disabled by setting the environment variable
4110
``BZR_SIGQUIT_PDB=0``. (Martin Pool)
4112
* selftest now supports --list-only to list tests instead of running
4113
them. (Ian Clatworthy)
4115
* selftest now supports --exclude PATTERN (or -x PATTERN) to exclude
4116
tests with names that match that regular expression.
4117
(Ian Clatworthy, #102679)
4119
* selftest now supports --randomize SEED to run tests in a random order.
4120
SEED is typically the value 'now' meaning 'use the current time'.
4121
(Ian Clatworthy, #102686)
4123
* New option ``--fixes`` to commit, which stores bug fixing annotations as
4124
revision properties. Built-in support for Launchpad, Debian, Trac and
4125
Bugzilla bug trackers. (Jonathan Lange, James Henstridge, Robert Collins)
4127
* New API, ``bzrlib.bugtracker.tracker_registry``, for adding support for
4128
other bug trackers to ``fixes``. (Jonathan Lange, James Henstridge,
4131
* ``selftest`` has new short options ``-f`` and ``-1``. (Martin
4134
* ``bzrlib.tsort.MergeSorter`` optimizations. Change the inner loop
4135
into using local variables instead of going through ``self._var``.
4136
Improves the time to ``merge_sort`` a 10k revision graph by
4137
approximately 40% (~700->400ms). (John Arbash Meinel)
4139
* ``make docs`` now creates a man page at ``man1/bzr.1`` fixing bug 107388.
4142
* ``bzr help`` now provides cross references to other help topics using
4143
the _see_also facility on command classes. Likewise the bzr_man
4144
documentation, and the bzr.1 man page also include this information.
4147
* Tags are now included in logs, that use the long log formatter.
4148
(Erik Bågfors, Alexander Belchenko)
4150
* ``bzr help`` provides a clearer message when a help topic cannot be
4151
found. (Robert Collins, #107656)
4153
* ``bzr help`` now accepts optional prefixes for command help. The help
4154
for all commands can now be found at ``bzr help commands/COMMANDNAME``
4155
as well as ``bzr help COMMANDNAME`` (which only works for commands
4156
where the name is not the same as a more general help topic).
4159
* ``bzr help PLUGINNAME`` will now return the module docstring from the
4160
plugin PLUGINNAME. (Robert Collins, #50408)
4162
* New help topic ``urlspec`` which lists the availables transports.
4163
(Goffredo Baroncelli)
4165
* doc/server.txt updated to document the default bzr:// port
4166
and also update the blurb about the hpss' current status.
4167
(Robert Collins, #107125).
4169
* ``bzr serve`` now listens on interface 0.0.0.0 by default, making it
4170
serve out to the local LAN (and anyone in the world that can reach the
4171
machine running ``bzr serve``. (Robert Collins, #98918)
4173
* A new smart server protocol version has been added. It prefixes requests
4174
and responses with an explicit version identifier so that future protocol
4175
revisions can be dealt with gracefully. (Andrew Bennetts, Robert Collins)
4177
* The bzr protocol version 2 indicates success or failure in every response
4178
without depending on particular commands encoding that consistently,
4179
allowing future client refactorings to be much more robust about error
4180
handling. (Robert Collins, Martin Pool, Andrew Bennetts)
4182
* The smart protocol over HTTP client has been changed to always post to the
4183
same ``.bzr/smart`` URL under the original location when it can. This allows
4184
HTTP servers to only have to pass URLs ending in .bzr/smart to the smart
4185
server handler, and not arbitrary ``.bzr/*/smart`` URLs. (Andrew Bennetts)
4187
* digest authentication is now supported for proxies and HTTP by the urllib
4188
based http implementation. Tested against Apache 2.0.55 and Squid
4189
2.6.5. Basic and digest authentication are handled coherently for HTTP
4190
and proxy: if the user is provided in the url (bzr command line for HTTP,
4191
proxy environment variables for proxies), the password is prompted for
4192
(only once). If the password is provided, it is taken into account. Once
4193
the first authentication is successful, all further authentication
4194
roundtrips are avoided by preventively setting the right authentication
4200
* bzrlib API compatability with 0.8 has been dropped, cleaning up some
4201
code paths. (Robert Collins)
4203
* Change the format of chroot urls so that they can be safely manipulated
4204
by generic url utilities without causing the resulting urls to have
4205
escaped the chroot. A side effect of this is that creating a chroot
4206
requires an explicit action using a ChrootServer.
4207
(Robert Collins, Andrew Bennetts)
4209
* Deprecate ``Branch.get_root_id()`` because branches don't have root ids,
4210
rather than fixing bug #96847. (Aaron Bentley)
4212
* ``WorkingTree.apply_inventory_delta`` provides a better alternative to
4213
``WorkingTree._write_inventory``. (Aaron Bentley)
4215
* Convenience method ``TestCase.expectFailure`` ensures that known failures
4216
do not silently pass. (Aaron Bentley)
4218
* ``Transport.local_abspath`` now raises ``NotLocalUrl`` rather than
4219
``TransportNotPossible``. (Martin Pool, Ian Clatworthy)
4221
* New SmartServer hooks facility. There are two initial hooks documented
4222
in ``bzrlib.transport.smart.SmartServerHooks``. The two initial hooks allow
4223
plugins to execute code upon server startup and shutdown.
4226
* SmartServer in standalone mode will now close its listening socket
4227
when it stops, rather than waiting for garbage collection. This primarily
4228
fixes test suite hangs when a test tries to connect to a shutdown server.
4229
It may also help improve behaviour when dealing with a server running
4230
on a specific port (rather than dynamically assigned ports).
4233
* Move most SmartServer code into a new package, bzrlib/smart.
4234
bzrlib/transport/remote.py contains just the Transport classes that used
4235
to be in bzrlib/transport/smart.py. (Andrew Bennetts)
4237
* urllib http implementation avoid roundtrips associated with
4238
401 (and 407) errors once the authentication succeeds.
4241
* urlib http now supports querying the user for a proxy password if
4242
needed. Realm is shown in the prompt for both HTTP and proxy
4243
authentication when the user is required to type a password.
4246
* Renamed SmartTransport (and subclasses like SmartTCPTransport) to
4247
RemoteTransport (and subclasses to RemoteTCPTransport, etc). This is more
4248
consistent with its new home in ``bzrlib/transport/remote.py``, and because
4249
it's not really a "smart" transport, just one that does file operations
4250
via remote procedure calls. (Andrew Bennetts)
4252
* The ``lock_write`` method of ``LockableFiles``, ``Repository`` and
4253
``Branch`` now accept a ``token`` keyword argument, so that separate
4254
instances of those objects can share a lock if it has the right token.
4255
(Andrew Bennetts, Robert Collins)
4257
* New method ``get_branch_reference`` on ``BzrDir`` allows the detection of
4258
branch references - which the smart server component needs.
4260
* The Repository API ``make_working_trees`` is now permitted to return
4261
False when ``set_make_working_trees`` is not implemented - previously
4262
an unimplemented ``set_make_working_trees`` implied the result True
4263
from ``make_working_trees``. This has been changed to accomodate the
4264
smart server, where it does not make sense (at this point) to ever
4265
make working trees by default. (Robert Collins)
4267
* Command objects can now declare related help topics by having _see_also
4268
set to a list of related topic. (Robert Collins)
4270
* ``bzrlib.help`` now delegates to the Command class for Command specific
4271
help. (Robert Collins)
4273
* New class ``TransportListRegistry``, derived from the Registry class, which
4274
simplifies tracking the available Transports. (Goffredo Baroncelli)
4276
* New function ``Branch.get_revision_id_to_revno_map`` which will
4277
return a dictionary mapping revision ids to dotted revnos. Since
4278
dotted revnos are defined in the context of the branch tip, it makes
4279
sense to generate them from a ``Branch`` object.
4280
(John Arbash Meinel)
4282
* Fix the 'Unprintable error' message display to use the repr of the
4283
exception that prevented printing the error because the str value
4284
for it is often not useful in debugging (e.g. KeyError('foo') has a
4285
str() of 'foo' but a repr of 'KeyError('foo')' which is much more
4286
useful. (Robert Collins)
4288
* ``urlutils.normalize_url`` now unescapes unreserved characters, such as "~".
4293
* Don't fail bundle selftest if email has 'two' embedded.
4294
(Ian Clatworthy, #98510)
4296
* Remove ``--verbose`` from ``bzr bundle``. It didn't work anyway.
4297
(Robert Widhopf-Fenk, #98591)
4299
* Remove ``--basis`` from the checkout/branch commands - it didn't work
4300
properly and is no longer beneficial.
4301
(Robert Collins, #53675, #43486)
4303
* Don't produce encoding error when adding duplicate files.
4306
* Fix ``bzr log <file>`` so it only logs the revisions that changed
4307
the file, and does it faster.
4308
(Kent Gibson, John Arbash Meinel, #51980, #69477)
4310
* Fix ``InterDirstateTre._iter_changes`` to handle when we come across
4311
an empty versioned directory, which now has files in it.
4312
(John Arbash Meinel, #104257)
4314
* Teach ``common_ancestor`` to shortcut when the tip of one branch is
4315
inside the ancestry of the other. Saves a lot of graph processing
4316
(with an ancestry of 16k revisions, ``bzr merge ../already-merged``
4317
changes from 2m10s to 13s). (John Arbash Meinel, #103757)
4319
* Fix ``show_diff_trees`` to handle the case when a file is modified,
4320
and the containing directory is renamed. (The file path is different
4321
in this versus base, but it isn't marked as a rename).
4322
(John Arbash Meinel, #103870)
4324
* FTP now works even when the FTP server does not support atomic rename.
4325
(Aaron Bentley, #89436)
4327
* Correct handling in bundles and merge directives of timezones with
4328
that are not an integer number of hours offset from UTC. Always
4329
represent the epoch time in UTC to avoid problems with formatting
4330
earlier times on win32. (Martin Pool, Alexander Belchenko, John
4333
* Typo in the help for ``register-branch`` fixed. (Robert Collins, #96770)
4335
* "dirstate" and "dirstate-tags" formats now produce branches compatible
4336
with old versions of bzr. (Aaron Bentley, #107168))
4338
* Handle moving a directory when children have been added, removed,
4339
and renamed. (John Arbash Meinel, #105479)
4341
* Don't preventively use basic authentication for proxy before receiving a
4342
407 error. Otherwise people willing to use other authentication schemes
4343
may expose their password in the clear (or nearly). This add one
4344
roundtrip in case basic authentication should be used, but plug the
4348
* Handle http and proxy digest authentication.
4349
(Vincent Ladeuil, #94034).
4353
* Added ``bzrlib.strace.strace`` which will strace a single callable and
4354
return a StraceResult object which contains just the syscalls involved
4355
in running it. (Robert Collins)
4357
* New test method ``reduceLockdirTimeout`` to drop the default (ui-centric)
4358
default time down to one suitable for tests. (Andrew Bennetts)
4360
* Add new ``vfs_transport_factory`` attribute on tests which provides the
4361
common vfs backing for both the readonly and readwrite transports.
4362
This allows the RemoteObject tests to back onto local disk or memory,
4363
and use the existing ``transport_server`` attribute all tests know about
4364
to be the smart server transport. This in turn allows tests to
4365
differentiate between 'transport to access the branch', and
4366
'transport which is a VFS' - which matters in Remote* tests.
4367
(Robert Collins, Andrew Bennetts)
4369
* The ``make_branch_and_tree`` method for tests will now create a
4370
lightweight checkout for the tree if the ``vfs_transport_factory`` is not
4371
a LocalURLServer. (Robert Collins, Andrew Bennetts)
4373
* Branch implementation tests have been audited to ensure that all urls
4374
passed to Branch APIs use proper urls, except when local-disk paths
4375
are intended. This is so that tests correctly access the test transport
4376
which is often not equivalent to local disk in Remote* tests. As part
4377
of this many tests were adjusted to remove dependencies on local disk
4379
(Robert Collins, Andrew Bennetts)
4381
* Mark bzrlib.tests and bzrlib.tests.TestUtil as providing assertFOO helper
4382
functions by adding a ``__unittest`` global attribute. (Robert Collins,
4383
Andrew Bennetts, Martin Pool, Jonathan Lange)
4385
* Refactored proxy and authentication handling to simplify the
4386
implementation of new auth schemes for both http and proxy.
4394
* Handle incompatible repositories as a user issue when fetching.
4397
* Don't give a recommendation to upgrade when branching or
4398
checking out a branch that contains an old-format working tree.
4401
bzr 0.15rc3 2007-03-26
4402
-----------------------
4406
* A warning is now displayed when opening working trees in older
4407
formats, to encourage people to upgrade to WorkingTreeFormat4.
4412
* HTTP redirections are now taken into account when a branch (or a
4413
bundle) is accessed for the first time. A message is issued at each
4414
redirection to inform the user. In the past, http redirections were
4415
silently followed for each request which significantly degraded the
4416
performances. The http redirections are not followed anymore by
4417
default, instead a RedirectRequested exception is raised. For bzrlib
4418
users needing to follow http redirections anyway,
4419
``bzrlib.transport.do_catching_redirections`` provide an easy transition
4424
* Added ``ReadLock.temporary_write_lock()`` to allow upgrading an OS read
4425
lock to an OS write lock. Linux can do this without unlocking, Win32
4426
needs to unlock in between. (John Arbash Meinel)
4428
* New parameter ``recommend_upgrade`` to ``BzrDir.open_workingtree``
4429
to silence (when false) warnings about opening old formats.
4432
* Fix minor performance regression with bzr-0.15 on pre-dirstate
4433
trees. (We were reading the working inventory too many times).
4434
(John Arbash Meinel)
4436
* Remove ``Branch.get_transaction()`` in favour of a simple cache of
4437
``revision_history``. Branch subclasses should override
4438
``_gen_revision_history`` rather than ``revision_history`` to make use of
4439
this cache, and call ``_clear_revision_history_cache`` and
4440
``_cache_revision_history`` at appropriate times. (Andrew Bennetts)
4444
* Take ``smtp_server`` from user config into account.
4447
* Restore Unicode filename handling for versioned and unversioned files.
4448
(John Arbash Meinel, #92608)
4450
* Don't fail during ``bzr commit`` if a file is marked removed, and
4451
the containing directory is auto-removed. (John Arbash Meinel, #93681)
4453
* ``bzr status FILENAME`` failed on Windows because of an uncommon
4454
errno. (``ERROR_DIRECTORY == 267 != ENOTDIR``).
4455
(Wouter van Heyst, John Arbash Meinel, #90819)
4457
* ``bzr checkout source`` should create a local branch in the same
4458
format as source. (John Arbash Meinel, #93854)
4460
* ``bzr commit`` with a kind change was failing to update the
4461
last-changed-revision for directories. The
4462
InventoryDirectory._unchanged only looked at the ``parent_id`` and name,
4463
ignoring the fact that the kind could have changed, too.
4464
(John Arbash Meinel, #90111)
4466
* ``bzr mv dir/subdir other`` was incorrectly updating files inside
4467
the directory. So that there was a chance it would break commit,
4468
etc. (John Arbash Meinel, #94037)
4470
* Correctly handles mutiple permanent http redirections.
4473
bzr 0.15rc2 2007-03-14
4474
-----------------------
4476
NOTES WHEN UPGRADING:
4478
* Release 0.15rc2 of bzr changes the ``bzr init-repo`` command to
4479
default to ``--trees`` instead of ``--no-trees``.
4480
Existing shared repositories are not affected.
4484
* New ``merge-directive`` command to generate machine- and human-readable
4485
merge requests. (Aaron Bentley)
4487
* New ``submit:`` revision specifier makes it easy to diff against the
4488
common ancestor with the submit location (Aaron Bentley)
4490
* Added support for Putty's SSH implementation. (Dmitry Vasiliev)
4492
* Added ``bzr status --versioned`` to report only versioned files,
4493
not unknowns. (Kent Gibson)
4495
* Merge now autodetects the correct line-ending style for its conflict
4496
markers. (Aaron Bentley)
4500
* Refactored SSH vendor registration into SSHVendorManager class.
4505
* New ``--numbered-dirs`` option to ``bzr selftest`` to use
4506
numbered dirs for TestCaseInTempDir. This is default behavior
4507
on Windows. Anyone can force named dirs on Windows
4508
with ``--no-numbered-dirs``. (Alexander Belchenko)
4510
* Fix ``RevisionSpec_revid`` to handle the Unicode strings passed in
4511
from the command line. (Marien Zwart, #90501)
4513
* Fix ``TreeTransform._iter_changes`` when both the source and
4514
destination are missing. (Aaron Bentley, #88842)
4516
* Fix commit of merges with symlinks in dirstate trees.
4519
* Switch the ``bzr init-repo`` default from --no-trees to --trees.
4520
(Wouter van Heyst, #53483)
4523
bzr 0.15rc1 2007-03-07
4524
-----------------------
4528
* The default disk format has changed. Please run 'bzr upgrade' in your
4529
working trees to upgrade. This new default is compatible for network
4530
operations, but not for local operations. That is, if you have two
4531
versions of bzr installed locally, after upgrading you can only use the
4532
bzr 0.15 version. This new default does not enable tags or nested-trees
4533
as they are incompatible with bzr versions before 0.15 over the network.
4535
* For users of bzrlib: Two major changes have been made to the working tree
4536
api in bzrlib. The first is that many methods and attributes, including
4537
the inventory attribute, are no longer valid for use until one of
4538
``lock_read``/``lock_write``/``lock_tree_write`` has been called,
4539
and become invalid again after unlock is called. This has been done
4540
to improve performance and correctness as part of the dirstate
4542
(Robert Collins, John A Meinel, Martin Pool, and others).
4544
* For users of bzrlib: The attribute 'tree.inventory' should be considered
4545
readonly. Previously it was possible to directly alter this attribute, or
4546
its contents, and have the tree notice this. This has been made
4547
unsupported - it may work in some tree formats, but in the newer dirstate
4548
format such actions will have no effect and will be ignored, or even
4549
cause assertions. All operations possible can still be carried out by a
4550
combination of the tree API, and the bzrlib.transform API. (Robert
4551
Collins, John A Meinel, Martin Pool, and others).
4555
* Support for OS Windows 98. Also .bzr.log on any windows system
4556
saved in My Documents folder. (Alexander Belchenko)
4558
* ``bzr mv`` enhanced to support already moved files.
4559
In the past the mv command would have failed if the source file doesn't
4560
exist. In this situation ``bzr mv`` would now detect that the file has
4561
already moved and update the repository accordingly, if the target file
4563
A new option ``--after`` has been added so that if two files already
4564
exist, you could notify Bazaar that you have moved a (versioned) file
4565
and replaced it with another. Thus in this case ``bzr move --after``
4566
will only update the Bazaar identifier.
4567
(Steffen Eichenberg, Marius Kruger)
4569
* ``ls`` now works on treeless branches and remote branches.
4572
* ``bzr help global-options`` describes the global options.
4575
* ``bzr pull --overwrite`` will now correctly overwrite checkouts.
4578
* Files are now allowed to change kind (e.g. from file to symlink).
4579
Supported by ``commit``, ``revert`` and ``status``
4582
* ``inventory`` and ``unknowns`` hidden in favour of ``ls``
4585
* ``bzr help checkouts`` descibes what checkouts are and some possible
4586
uses of them. (James Westby, Aaron Bentley)
4588
* A new ``-d`` option to push, pull and merge overrides the default
4589
directory. (Martin Pool)
4591
* Branch format 6: smaller, and potentially faster than format 5. Supports
4592
``append_history_only`` mode, where the log view and revnos do not change,
4593
except by being added to. Stores policy settings in
4594
".bzr/branch/branch.conf".
4596
* ``append_only`` branches: Format 6 branches may be configured so that log
4597
view and revnos are always consistent. Either create the branch using
4598
"bzr init --append-revisions-only" or edit the config file as descriped
4599
in docs/configuration.txt.
4601
* rebind: Format 6 branches retain the last-used bind location, so if you
4602
"bzr unbind", you can "bzr bind" to bind to the previously-selected
4605
* Builtin tags support, created and deleted by the ``tag`` command and
4606
stored in the branch. Tags can be accessed with the revisionspec
4607
``-rtag:``, and listed with ``bzr tags``. Tags are not versioned
4608
at present. Tags require a network incompatible upgrade. To perform this
4609
upgrade, run ``bzr upgrade --dirstate-tags`` in your branch and
4610
repositories. (Martin Pool)
4612
* The ``bzr://`` transport now has a well-known port number, 4155,
4613
which it will use by default. (Andrew Bennetts, Martin Pool)
4615
* Bazaar now looks for user-installed plugins before looking for site-wide
4616
plugins. (Jonathan Lange)
4618
* ``bzr resolve`` now detects and marks resolved text conflicts.
4623
* Internally revision ids and file ids are now passed around as utf-8
4624
bytestrings, rather than treating them as Unicode strings. This has
4625
performance benefits for Knits, since we no longer need to decode the
4626
revision id for each line of content, nor for each entry in the index.
4627
This will also help with the future dirstate format.
4628
(John Arbash Meinel)
4630
* Reserved ids (any revision-id ending in a colon) are rejected by
4631
versionedfiles, repositories, branches, and working trees
4634
* Minor performance improvement by not creating a ProgressBar for
4635
every KnitIndex we create. (about 90ms for a bzr.dev tree)
4636
(John Arbash Meinel)
4638
* New easier to use Branch hooks facility. There are five initial hooks,
4639
all documented in bzrlib.branch.BranchHooks.__init__ - ``'set_rh'``,
4640
``'post_push'``, ``'post_pull'``, ``'post_commit'``,
4641
``'post_uncommit'``. These hooks fire after the matching operation
4642
on a branch has taken place, and were originally added for the
4643
branchrss plugin. (Robert Collins)
4645
* New method ``Branch.push()`` which should be used when pushing from a
4646
branch as it makes performance and policy decisions to match the UI
4647
level command ``push``. (Robert Collins).
4649
* Add a new method ``Tree.revision_tree`` which allows access to cached
4650
trees for arbitrary revisions. This allows the in development dirstate
4651
tree format to provide access to the callers to cached copies of
4652
inventory data which are cheaper to access than inventories from the
4654
(Robert Collins, Martin Pool)
4656
* New ``Branch.last_revision_info`` method, this is being done to allow
4657
optimization of requests for both the number of revisions and the last
4658
revision of a branch with smartservers and potentially future branch
4659
formats. (Wouter van Heyst, Robert Collins)
4661
* Allow ``'import bzrlib.plugins.NAME'`` to work when the plugin NAME has not
4662
yet been loaded by ``load_plugins()``. This allows plugins to depend on each
4663
other for code reuse without requiring users to perform file-renaming
4664
gymnastics. (Robert Collins)
4666
* New Repository method ``'gather_stats'`` for statistic data collection.
4667
This is expected to grow to cover a number of related uses mainly
4668
related to bzr info. (Robert Collins)
4670
* Log formatters are now managed with a registry.
4671
``log.register_formatter`` continues to work, but callers accessing
4672
the FORMATTERS dictionary directly will not.
4674
* Allow a start message to be passed to the ``edit_commit_message``
4675
function. This will be placed in the message offered to the user
4676
for editing above the separator. It allows a template commit message
4677
to be used more easily. (James Westby)
4679
* ``GPGStrategy.sign()`` will now raise ``BzrBadParameterUnicode`` if
4680
you pass a Unicode string rather than an 8-bit string. Callers need
4681
to be updated to encode first. (John Arbash Meinel)
4683
* Branch.push, pull, merge now return Result objects with information
4684
about what happened, rather than a scattering of various methods. These
4685
are also passed to the post hooks. (Martin Pool)
4687
* File formats and architecture is in place for managing a forest of trees
4688
in bzr, and splitting up existing trees into smaller subtrees, and
4689
finally joining trees to make a larger tree. This is the first iteration
4690
of this support, and the user-facing aspects still require substantial
4691
work. If you wish to experiment with it, use ``bzr upgrade
4692
--dirstate-with-subtree`` in your working trees and repositories.
4693
You can use the hidden commands ``split`` and ``join`` and to create
4694
and manipulate nested trees, but please consider using the nested-trees
4695
branch, which contains substantial UI improvements, instead.
4696
http://code.aaronbentley.com/bzr/bzrrepo/nested-trees/
4697
(Aaron Bentley, Martin Pool, Robert Collins).
4701
* ``bzr annotate`` now uses dotted revnos from the viewpoint of the
4702
branch, rather than the last changed revision of the file.
4703
(John Arbash Meinel, #82158)
4705
* Lock operations no longer hang if they encounter a permission problem.
4708
* ``bzr push`` can resume a push that was canceled before it finished.
4709
Also, it can push even if the target directory exists if you supply
4710
the ``--use-existing-dir`` flag.
4711
(John Arbash Meinel, #30576, #45504)
4713
* Fix http proxy authentication when user and an optional
4714
password appears in the ``*_proxy`` vars. (Vincent Ladeuil,
4717
* ``bzr log branch/file`` works for local treeless branches
4718
(Aaron Bentley, #84247)
4720
* Fix problem with UNC paths on Windows 98. (Alexander Belchenko, #84728)
4722
* Searching location of CA bundle for PyCurl in env variable
4723
(``CURL_CA_BUNDLE``), and on win32 along the PATH.
4724
(Alexander Belchenko, #82086)
4726
* ``bzr init`` works with unicode argument LOCATION.
4727
(Alexander Belchenko, #85599)
4729
* Raise ``DependencyNotPresent`` if pycurl do not support https.
4730
(Vincent Ladeuil, #85305)
4732
* Invalid proxy env variables should not cause a traceback.
4733
(Vincent Ladeuil, #87765)
4735
* Ignore patterns normalised to use '/' path separator.
4736
(Kent Gibson, #86451)
4738
* bzr rocks. It sure does! Fix case. (Vincent Ladeuil, #78026)
4740
* Fix bzrtools shelve command for removed lines beginning with "--"
4741
(Johan Dahlberg, #75577)
4745
* New ``--first`` option to ``bzr selftest`` to run specified tests
4746
before the rest of the suite. (Martin Pool)
4750
--------------------
4754
* ``bzr help global-options`` describes the global options. (Aaron Bentley)
4758
* Skip documentation generation tests if the tools to do so are not
4759
available. Fixes running selftest for installled copies of bzr.
4760
(John Arbash Meinel, #80330)
4762
* Fix the code that discovers whether bzr is being run from it's
4763
working tree to handle the case when it isn't but the directory
4764
it is in is below a repository. (James Westby, #77306)
4767
bzr 0.14rc1 2007-01-16
4768
-----------------------
4772
* New connection: ``bzr+http://`` which supports tunnelling the smart
4773
protocol over an HTTP connection. If writing is enabled on the bzr
4774
server, then you can write over the http connection.
4775
(Andrew Bennetts, John Arbash Meinel)
4777
* Aliases now support quotation marks, so they can contain whitespace
4780
* PyCurlTransport now use a single curl object. By specifying explicitly
4781
the 'Range' header, we avoid the need to use two different curl objects
4782
(and two connections to the same server). (Vincent Ladeuil)
4784
* ``bzr commit`` does not prompt for a message until it is very likely to
4785
succeed. (Aaron Bentley)
4787
* ``bzr conflicts`` now takes --text to list pathnames of text conflicts
4790
* Fix ``iter_lines_added_or_present_in_versions`` to use a set instead
4791
of a list while checking if a revision id was requested. Takes 10s
4792
off of the ``fileids_affected_by_revision_ids`` time, which is 10s
4793
of the ``bzr branch`` time. Also improve ``fileids_...`` time by
4794
filtering lines with a regex rather than multiple ``str.find()``
4795
calls. (saves another 300ms) (John Arbash Meinel)
4797
* Policy can be set for each configuration key. This allows keys to be
4798
inherited properly across configuration entries. For example, this
4799
should enable you to do::
4801
[/home/user/project]
4802
push_location = sftp://host/srv/project/
4803
push_location:policy = appendpath
4805
And then a branch like ``/home/user/project/mybranch`` should get an
4806
automatic push location of ``sftp://host/srv/project/mybranch``.
4809
* Added ``bzr status --short`` to make status report svn style flags
4810
for each file. For example::
4812
$ bzr status --short
4818
* 'bzr selftest --clean-output' allows easily clean temporary tests
4819
directories without running tests. (Alexander Belchenko)
4821
* ``bzr help hidden-commands`` lists all hidden commands. (Aaron Bentley)
4823
* ``bzr merge`` now has an option ``--pull`` to fall back to pull if
4824
local is fully merged into remote. (Jan Hudec)
4826
* ``bzr help formats`` describes available directory formats. (Aaron Bentley)
4830
* A few tweaks directly to ``fileids_affected_by_revision_ids`` to
4831
help speed up processing, as well allowing to extract unannotated
4832
lines. Between the two ``fileids_affected_by_revision_ids`` is
4833
improved by approx 10%. (John Arbash Meinel)
4835
* Change Revision serialization to only write out millisecond
4836
resolution. Rather than expecting floating point serialization to
4837
preserve more resolution than we need. (Henri Weichers, Martin Pool)
4839
* Test suite ends cleanly on Windows. (Vincent Ladeuil)
4841
* When ``encoding_type`` attribute of class Command is equal to 'exact',
4842
force sys.stdout to be a binary stream on Windows, and therefore
4843
keep exact line-endings (without LF -> CRLF conversion).
4844
(Alexander Belchenko)
4846
* Single-letter short options are no longer globally declared. (Martin
4849
* Before using detected user/terminal encoding bzr should check
4850
that Python has corresponding codec. (Alexander Belchenko)
4852
* Formats for end-user selection are provided via a FormatRegistry (Aaron Bentley)
4856
* ``bzr missing --verbose`` was showing adds/removals in the wrong
4857
direction. (John Arbash Meinel)
4859
* ``bzr annotate`` now defaults to showing dotted revnos for merged
4860
revisions. It cuts them off at a depth of 12 characters, but you can
4861
supply ``--long`` to see the full number. You can also use
4862
``--show-ids`` to display the original revision ids, rather than
4863
revision numbers and committer names. (John Arbash Meinel, #75637)
4865
* bzr now supports Win32 UNC path (e.g. ``\HOST\path``.
4866
(Alexander Belchenko, #57869)
4868
* Win32-specific: output of cat, bundle and diff commands don't mangle
4869
line-endings (Alexander Belchenko, #55276)
4871
* Replace broken fnmatch based ignore pattern matching with custom pattern
4873
(Kent Gibson, Jan Hudec #57637)
4875
* pycurl and urllib can detect short reads at different places. Update
4876
the test suite to test more cases. Also detect http error code 416
4877
which was raised for that specific bug. Also enhance the urllib
4878
robustness by detecting invalid ranges (and pycurl's one by detecting
4879
short reads during the initial GET). (Vincent Ladeuil, #73948)
4881
* The urllib connection sharing interacts badly with urllib2
4882
proxy setting (the connections didn't go thru the proxy
4883
anymore). Defining a proper ProxyHandler solves the
4884
problem. (Vincent Ladeuil, #74759)
4886
* Use urlutils to generate relative URLs, not osutils
4887
(Aaron Bentley, #76229)
4889
* ``bzr status`` in a readonly directory should work without giving
4890
lots of errors. (John Arbash Meinel, #76299)
4892
* Mention the revisionspec topic for the revision option help.
4893
(Wouter van Heyst, #31663)
4895
* Allow plugins import from zip archives.
4896
(Alexander Belchenko, #68124)

No changes from 0.13rc1
4904
bzr 0.13rc1 2006-11-27
4905
-----------------------
4909
* New command ``bzr remove-tree`` allows the removal of the working
4911
(Daniel Silverstone)
4913
* urllib uses shared keep-alive connections, so http
4914
operations are substantially faster.
4915
(Vincent Ladeuil, #53654)
4917
* ``bzr export`` allows an optional branch parameter, to export a bzr
4918
tree from some other url. For example:
4919
``bzr export bzr.tar.gz http://bazaar-vcs.org/bzr/bzr.dev``
4920
(Daniel Silverstone)
4922
* Added ``bzr help topics`` to the bzr help system. This gives a
4923
location for general information, outside of a specific command.
4924
This includes updates for ``bzr help revisionspec`` the first topic
4925
included. (Goffredo Baroncelli, John Arbash Meinel, #42714)
4927
* WSGI-compatible HTTP smart server. See ``doc/http_smart_server.txt``.
4930
* Knit files will now cache full texts only when the size of the
4931
deltas is as large as the size of the fulltext. (Or after 200
4932
deltas, whichever comes first). This has the most benefit on large
4933
files with small changes, such as the inventory for a large project.
4934
(eg For a project with 2500 files, and 7500 revisions, it changes
4935
the size of inventory.knit from 11MB to 5.4MB) (John Arbash Meinel)
4939
* New -D option given before the command line turns on debugging output
4940
for particular areas. -Derror shows tracebacks on all errors.
4943
* Clean up ``bzr selftest --benchmark bundle`` to correct an import,
4944
and remove benchmarks that take longer than 10min to run.
4945
(John Arbash Meinel)
4947
* Use ``time.time()`` instead of ``time.clock()`` to decide on
4948
progress throttling. Because ``time.clock()`` is actually CPU time,
4949
so over a high-latency connection, too many updates get throttled.
4950
(John Arbash Meinel)
4952
* ``MemoryTransport.list_dir()`` would strip the first character for
4953
files or directories in root directory. (John Arbash Meinel)
4955
* New method ``get_branch_reference`` on 'BzrDir' allows the detection of
4956
branch references - which the smart server component needs.
4958
* New ``ChrootTransportDecorator``, accessible via the ``chroot+`` url
4959
prefix. It disallows any access to locations above a set URL. (Andrew
4964
* Now ``_KnitIndex`` properly decode revision ids when loading index data.
4965
And optimize the knit index parsing code.
4966
(Dmitry Vasiliev, John Arbash Meinel)
4968
* ``bzrlib/bzrdir.py`` was directly referencing ``bzrlib.workingtree``,
4969
without importing it. This prevented ``bzr upgrade`` from working
4970
unless a plugin already imported ``bzrlib.workingtree``
4971
(John Arbash Meinel, #70716)
4973
* Suppress the traceback on invalid URLs (Vincent Ladeuil, #70803).
4975
* Give nicer error message when an http server returns a 403
4976
error code. (Vincent Ladeuil, #57644).
4978
* When a multi-range http GET request fails, try a single
4979
range one. If it fails too, forget about ranges. Remember that until
4980
the death of the transport and propagates that to the clones.
4981
(Vincent Ladeuil, #62276, #62029).
4983
* Handles user/passwords supplied in url from command
4984
line (for the urllib implementation). Don't request already
4985
known passwords (Vincent Ladeuil, #42383, #44647, #48527)
4987
* ``_KnitIndex.add_versions()`` dictionary compresses revision ids as they
4988
are added. This fixes bug where fetching remote revisions records
4989
them as full references rather than integers.
4990
(John Arbash Meinel, #64789)
4992
* ``bzr ignore`` strips trailing slashes in patterns.
4993
Also ``bzr ignore`` rejects absolute paths. (Kent Gibson, #4559)
4995
* ``bzr ignore`` takes multiple arguments. (Cheuksan Edward Wang, #29488)
4997
* mv correctly handles paths that traverse symlinks.
4998
(Aaron Bentley, #66964)
5000
* Give nicer looking error messages when failing to connect over ssh.
5001
(John Arbash Meinel, #49172)
5003
* Pushing to a remote branch does not currently update the remote working
5004
tree. After a remote push, ``bzr status`` and ``bzr diff`` on the remote
5005
machine now show that the working tree is out of date.
5006
(Cheuksan Edward Wang #48136)
5008
* Use patiencediff instead of difflib for determining deltas to insert
5009
into knits. This avoids the O(N^3) behavior of difflib. Patience
5010
diff should be O(N^2). (Cheuksan Edward Wang, #65714)
5012
* Running ``bzr log`` on nonexistent file gives an error instead of the
5013
entire log history. (Cheuksan Edward Wang #50793)
5015
* ``bzr cat`` can look up contents of removed or renamed files. If the
5016
pathname is ambiguous, i.e. the files in the old and new trees have
5017
different id's, the default is the file in the new tree. The user can
5018
use "--name-from-revision" to select the file in the old tree.
5019
(Cheuksan Edward Wang, #30190)
5023
* TestingHTTPRequestHandler really handles the Range header
5024
(previously it was ignoring it and returning the whole file,).
5027
--------------------
5031
* Clean up ``bzr selftest --benchmark bundle`` to correct an import,
5032
and remove benchmarks that take longer than 10min to run.
5033
(John Arbash Meinel)
5035
bzr 0.12rc1 2006-10-23
5036
-----------------------
5040
* ``bzr log`` now shows dotted-decimal revision numbers for all revisions,
5041
rather than just showing a decimal revision number for revisions on the
5042
mainline. These revision numbers are not yet accepted as input into bzr
5043
commands such as log, diff etc. (Robert Collins)
5045
* revisions can now be specified using dotted-decimal revision numbers.
5046
For instance, ``bzr diff -r 1.2.1..1.2.3``. (Robert Collins)
5048
* ``bzr help commands`` output is now shorter (Aaron Bentley)
5050
* ``bzr`` now uses lazy importing to reduce the startup time. This has
5051
a moderate effect on lots of actions, especially ones that have
5052
little to do. For example ``bzr rocks`` time is down to 116ms from
5053
283ms. (John Arbash Meinel)
5055
* New Registry class to provide name-to-object registry-like support,
5056
for example for schemes where plugins can register new classes to
5057
do certain tasks (e.g. log formatters). Also provides lazy registration
5058
to allow modules to be loaded on request.
5059
(John Arbash Meinel, Adeodato Simó)
5061
API INCOMPATABILITY:
5063
* LogFormatter subclasses show now expect the 'revno' parameter to
5064
show() to be a string rather than an int. (Robert Collins)
5068
* ``TestCase.run_bzr``, ``run_bzr_captured``, and ``run_bzr_subprocess``
5069
can take a ``working_dir='foo'`` parameter, which will change directory
5070
for the command. (John Arbash Meinel)
5072
* ``bzrlib.lazy_regex.lazy_compile`` can be used to create a proxy
5073
around a regex, which defers compilation until first use.
5074
(John Arbash Meinel)
5076
* ``TestCase.run_bzr_subprocess`` defaults to supplying the
5077
``--no-plugins`` parameter to ensure test reproducability, and avoid
5078
problems with system-wide installed plugins. (John Arbash Meinel)
5080
* Unique tree root ids are now supported. Newly created trees still
5081
use the common root id for compatibility with bzr versions before 0.12.
5084
* ``WorkingTree.set_root_id(None)`` is now deprecated. Please
5085
pass in ``inventory.ROOT_ID`` if you want the default root id value.
5086
(Robert Collins, John Arbash Meinel)
5088
* New method ``WorkingTree.flush()`` which will write the current memory
5089
inventory out to disk. At the same time, ``read_working_inventory`` will
5090
no longer trash the current tree inventory if it has been modified within
5091
the current lock, and the tree will now ``flush()`` automatically on
5092
``unlock()``. ``WorkingTree.set_root_id()`` has been updated to take
5093
advantage of this functionality. (Robert Collins, John Arbash Meinel)
5095
* ``bzrlib.tsort.merge_sorted`` now accepts ``generate_revnos``. This
5096
parameter will cause it to add another column to its output, which
5097
contains the dotted-decimal revno for each revision, as a tuple.
5100
* ``LogFormatter.show_merge`` is deprecated in favour of
5101
``LogFormatter.show_merge_revno``. (Robert Collins)
5105
* Avoid circular imports by creating a deprecated function for
5106
``bzrlib.tree.RevisionTree``. Callers should have been using
5107
``bzrlib.revisontree.RevisionTree`` anyway. (John Arbash Meinel,
5110
* Don't use ``socket.MSG_WAITALL`` as it doesn't exist on all
5111
platforms. (Martin Pool, #66356)
5113
* Don't require ``Content-Type`` in range responses. Assume they are a
5114
single range if ``Content-Type`` does not exist.
5115
(John Arbash Meinel, #62473)
5117
* bzr branch/pull no longer complain about progress bar cleanup when
5118
interrupted during fetch. (Aaron Bentley, #54000)
5120
* ``WorkingTree.set_parent_trees()`` uses the trees to directly write
5121
the basis inventory, rather than going through the repository. This
5122
allows us to have 1 inventory read, and 2 inventory writes when
5123
committing a new tree. (John Arbash Meinel)
5125
* When reverting, files that are not locally modified that do not exist
5126
in the target are deleted, not just unversioned (Aaron Bentley)
5128
* When trying to acquire a lock, don't fail immediately. Instead, try
5129
a few times (up to 1 hour) before timing out. Also, report why the
5130
lock is unavailable (John Arbash Meinel, #43521, #49556)
5132
* Leave HttpTransportBase daughter classes decides how they
5133
implement cloning. (Vincent Ladeuil, #61606)
5135
* diff3 does not indicate conflicts on clean merge. (Aaron Bentley)
5137
* If a commit fails, the commit message is stored in a file at the root of
5138
the tree for later commit. (Cheuksan Edward Wang, Stefan Metzmacher,
5143
* New test base class TestCaseWithMemoryTransport offers memory-only
5144
testing facilities: its not suitable for tests that need to mutate disk
5145
state, but most tests should not need that and should be converted to
5146
TestCaseWithMemoryTransport. (Robert Collins)
5148
* ``TestCase.make_branch_and_memory_tree`` now takes a format
5149
option to set the BzrDir, Repository and Branch formats of the
5150
created objects. (Robert Collins, John Arbash Meinel)
5153
--------------------
5155
* Smart server transport test failures on windows fixed. (Lukáš Lalinský).
5157
bzr 0.11rc2 2006-09-27
5158
-----------------------
5162
* Test suite hangs on windows fixed. (Andrew Bennets, Alexander Belchenko).
5164
* Commit performance regression fixed. (Aaron Bentley, Robert Collins, John
5167
bzr 0.11rc1 2006-09-25
5168
-----------------------
5172
* Knit files now wait to create their contents until the first data is
5173
added. The old code used to create an empty .knit and a .kndx with just
5174
the header. However, this caused a lot of extra round trips over sftp.
5175
This can change the time for ``bzr push`` to create a new remote branch
5176
from 160s down to 100s. This also affects ``bzr commit`` performance when
5177
adding new files, ``bzr commit`` on a new kernel-like tree drops from 50s
5178
down to 40s (John Arbash Meinel, #44692)
5180
* When an entire subtree has been deleted, commit will now report that
5181
just the top of the subtree has been deleted, rather than reporting
5182
all the individual items. (Robert Collins)
5184
* Commit performs one less XML parse. (Robert Collins)
5186
* ``bzr checkout`` now operates on readonly branches as well
5187
as readwrite branches. This fixes bug #39542. (Robert Collins)
5189
* ``bzr bind`` no longer synchronises history with the master branch.
5190
Binding should be followed by an update or push to synchronise the
5191
two branches. This is closely related to the fix for bug #39542.
5194
* ``bzrlib.lazy_import.lazy_import`` function to create on-demand
5195
objects. This allows all imports to stay at the global scope, but
5196
modules will not actually be imported if they are not used.
5197
(John Arbash Meinel)
5199
* Support ``bzr://`` and ``bzr+ssh://`` urls to work with the new RPC-based
5200
transport which will be used with the upcoming high-performance smart
5201
server. The new command ``bzr serve`` will invoke bzr in server mode,
5202
which processes these requests. (Andrew Bennetts, Robert Collins, Martin
5205
* New command ``bzr version-info`` which can be used to get a summary
5206
of the current state of the tree. This is especially useful as part
5207
of a build commands. See ``doc/version_info.txt`` for more information
5208
(John Arbash Meinel)
5212
* ``'bzr inventory [FILE...]'`` allows restricting the file list to a
5213
specific set of files. (John Arbash Meinel, #3631)
5215
* Don't abort when annotating empty files (John Arbash Meinel, #56814)
5217
* Add ``Stanza.to_unicode()`` which can be passed to another Stanza
5218
when nesting stanzas. Also, add ``read_stanza_unicode`` to handle when
5219
reading a nested Stanza. (John Arbash Meinel)
5221
* Transform._set_mode() needs to stat the right file.
5222
(John Arbash Meinel, #56549)
5224
* Raise WeaveFormatError rather than StopIteration when trying to read
5225
an empty Weave file. (John Arbash Meinel, #46871)
5227
* Don't access e.code for generic URLErrors, only HTTPErrors have .code.
5228
(Vincent Ladeuil, #59835)
5230
* Handle boundary="" lines properly to allow access through a Squid proxy.
5231
(John Arbash Meinel, #57723)
5233
* revert now removes newly-added directories (Aaron Bentley, #54172)
5235
* ``bzr upgrade sftp://`` shouldn't fail to upgrade v6 branches if there
5236
isn't a working tree. (David Allouche, #40679)
5238
* Give nicer error messages when a user supplies an invalid --revision
5239
parameter. (John Arbash Meinel, #55420)
5241
* Handle when LANG is not recognized by python. Emit a warning, but
5242
just revert to using 'ascii'. (John Arbash Meinel, #35392)
5244
* Don't use ``preexec_fn`` on win32, as it is not supported by subprocess.
5245
(John Arbash Meinel)
5247
* Skip specific tests when the dependencies aren't met. This includes
5248
some ``setup.py`` tests when ``python-dev`` is not available, and
5249
some tests that depend on paramiko. (John Arbash Meinel, Mattheiu Moy)
5251
* Fallback to Paramiko properly, if no ``ssh`` executable exists on
5252
the system. (Andrew Bennetts, John Arbash Meinel)
5254
* ``Branch.bind(other_branch)`` no longer takes a write lock on the
5255
other branch, and will not push or pull between the two branches.
5256
API users will need to perform a push or pull or update operation if they
5257
require branch synchronisation to take place. (Robert Collins, #47344)
5259
* When creating a tarball or zipfile export, export unicode names as utf-8
5260
paths. This may not work perfectly on all platforms, but has the best
5261
chance of working in the common case. (John Arbash Meinel, #56816)
5263
* When committing, only files that exist in working tree or basis tree
5264
may be specified (Aaron Bentley, #50793)
5268
* Fixes to run on Python 2.5 (Brian M. Carlson, Martin Pool, Marien Zwart)
5272
* TestCaseInTempDir now creates a separate directory for HOME, rather
5273
than having HOME set to the same location as the working directory.
5274
(John Arbash Meinel)
5276
* ``run_bzr_subprocess()`` can take an optional ``env_changes={}`` parameter,
5277
which will update os.environ inside the spawned child. It also can
5278
take a ``universal_newlines=True``, which helps when checking the output
5279
of the command. (John Arbash Meinel)
5281
* Refactor SFTP vendors to allow easier re-use when ssh is used.
5284
* ``Transport.list_dir()`` and ``Transport.iter_files_recursive()`` should always
5285
return urlescaped paths. This is now tested (there were bugs in a few
5286
of the transports) (Andrew Bennetts, David Allouche, John Arbash Meinel)
5288
* New utility function ``symbol_versioning.deprecation_string``. Returns the
5289
formatted string for a callable, deprecation format pair. (Robert Collins)
5291
* New TestCase helper applyDeprecated. This allows you to call a callable
5292
which is deprecated without it spewing to the screen, just by supplying
5293
the deprecation format string issued for it. (Robert Collins)
5295
* Transport.append and Transport.put have been deprecated in favor of
5296
``.append_bytes``, ``.append_file``, ``.put_bytes``, and
5297
``.put_file``. This removes the ambiguity in what type of object the
5298
functions take. ``Transport.non_atomic_put_{bytes,file}`` has also
5299
been added. Which works similarly to ``Transport.append()`` except for
5300
SFTP, it doesn't have a round trip when opening the file. Also, it
5301
provides functionality for creating a parent directory when trying
5302
to create a file, rather than raise NoSuchFile and forcing the
5303
caller to repeat their request.
5304
(John Arbash Meinel)
5306
* WorkingTree has a new api ``unversion`` which allow the unversioning of
5307
entries by their file id. (Robert Collins)
5309
* ``WorkingTree.pending_merges`` is deprecated. Please use the
5310
``get_parent_ids`` (introduced in 0.10) method instead. (Robert Collins)
5312
* WorkingTree has a new ``lock_tree_write`` method which locks the branch for
5313
read rather than write. This is appropriate for actions which only need
5314
the branch data for reference rather than mutation. A new decorator
5315
``needs_tree_write_lock`` is provided in the workingtree module. Like the
5316
``needs_read_lock`` and ``needs_write_lock`` decorators this allows static
5317
declaration of the locking requirements of a function to ensure that
5318
a lock is taken out for casual scripts. (Robert Collins, #54107)
5320
* All WorkingTree methods which write to the tree, but not to the branch
5321
have been converted to use ``needs_tree_write_lock`` rather than
5322
``needs_write_lock``. Also converted is the revert, conflicts and tree
5323
transform modules. This provides a modest performance improvement on
5324
metadir style trees, due to the reduce lock-acquisition, and a more
5325
significant performance improvement on lightweight checkouts from
5326
remote branches, where trivial operations used to pay a significant
5327
penalty. It also provides the basis for allowing readonly checkouts.
5330
* Special case importing the standard library 'copy' module. This shaves
5331
off 40ms of startup time, while retaining compatibility. See:
5332
``bzrlib/inspect_for_copy.py`` for more details. (John Arbash Meinel)
5334
* WorkingTree has a new parent class MutableTree which represents the
5335
specialisations of Tree which are able to be altered. (Robert Collins)
5337
* New methods mkdir and ``put_file_bytes_non_atomic`` on MutableTree that
5338
mutate the tree and its contents. (Robert Collins)
5340
* Transport behaviour at the root of the URL is now defined and tested.
5341
(Andrew Bennetts, Robert Collins)
5345
* New test helper classs MemoryTree. This is typically accessed via
5346
``self.make_branch_and_memory_tree()`` in test cases. (Robert Collins)
5348
* Add ``start_bzr_subprocess`` and ``stop_bzr_subprocess`` to allow test
5349
code to continue running concurrently with a subprocess of bzr.
5350
(Andrew Bennetts, Robert Collins)
5352
* Add a new method ``Transport.get_smart_client()``. This is provided to
5353
allow upgrades to a richer interface than the VFS one provided by
5354
Transport. (Andrew Bennetts, Martin Pool)
5357
--------------------
5360
* 'merge' now takes --uncommitted, to apply uncommitted changes from a
5361
tree. (Aaron Bentley)
5363
* 'bzr add --file-ids-from' can be used to specify another path to use
5364
for creating file ids, rather than generating all new ones. Internally,
5365
the 'action' passed to ``smart_add_tree()`` can return ``file_ids`` that
5366
will be used, rather than having bzrlib generate new ones.
5367
(John Arbash Meinel, #55781)
5369
* ``bzr selftest --benchmark`` now allows a ``--cache-dir`` parameter.
5370
This will cache some of the intermediate trees, and decrease the
5371
setup time for benchmark tests. (John Arbash Meinel)
5373
* Inverse forms are provided for all boolean options. For example,
5374
--strict has --no-strict, --no-recurse has --recurse (Aaron Bentley)
5376
* Serialize out Inventories directly, rather than using ElementTree.
5377
Writing out a kernel sized inventory drops from 2s down to ~350ms.
5378
(Robert Collins, John Arbash Meinel)
5382
* Help diffutils 2.8.4 get along with binary tests (Marien Zwart: #57614)
5384
* Change LockDir so that if the lock directory doesn't exist when
5385
``lock_write()`` is called, an attempt will be made to create it.
5386
(John Arbash Meinel, #56974)
5388
* ``bzr uncommit`` preserves pending merges. (John Arbash Meinel, #57660)
5390
* Active FTP transport now works as intended. (ghozzy, #56472)
5392
* Really fix mutter() so that it won't ever raise a UnicodeError.
5393
It means it is possible for ~/.bzr.log to contain non UTF-8 characters.
5394
But it is a debugging log, not a real user file.
5395
(John Arbash Meinel, #56947, #53880)
5397
* Change Command handle to allow Unicode command and options.
5398
At present we cannot register Unicode command names, so we will get
5399
BzrCommandError('unknown command'), or BzrCommandError('unknown option')
5400
But that is better than a UnicodeError + a traceback.
5401
(John Arbash Meinel, #57123)
5403
* Handle TZ=UTC properly when reading/writing revisions.
5404
(John Arbash Meinel, #55783, #56290)
5406
* Use ``GPG_TTY`` to allow gpg --cl to work with gpg-agent in a pipeline,
5407
(passing text to sign in on stdin). (John Arbash Meinel, #54468)
5409
* External diff does the right thing for binaries even in foreign
5410
languages. (John Arbash Meinel, #56307)
5412
* Testament handles more cases when content is unicode. Specific bug was
5413
in handling of revision properties.
5414
(John Arbash Meinel, Holger Krekel, #54723)
5416
* The bzr selftest was failing on installed versions due to a bug in a new
5417
test helper. (John Arbash Meinel, Robert Collins, #58057)
5421
* ``bzrlib.cache_utf8`` contains ``encode()`` and ``decode()`` functions
5422
which can be used to cache the conversion between utf8 and Unicode.
5423
Especially helpful for some of the knit annotation code, which has to
5424
convert revision ids to utf8 to annotate lines in storage.
5425
(John Arbash Meinel)
5427
* ``setup.py`` now searches the filesystem to find all packages which
5428
need to be installed. This should help make the life of packagers
5429
easier. (John Arbash Meinel)
5431
bzr 0.9.0 2006-08-11
5432
---------------------
5436
* The hard-coded built-in ignore rules have been removed. There are
5437
now two rulesets which are enforced. A user global one in
5438
``~/.bazaar/ignore`` which will apply to every tree, and the tree
5439
specific one '.bzrignore'.
5440
``~/.bazaar/ignore`` will be created if it does not exist, but with
5441
a more conservative list than the old default.
5442
This fixes bugs with default rules being enforced no matter what.
5443
The old list of ignore rules from bzr is available by
5444
running 'bzr ignore --old-default-rules'.
5445
(Robert Collins, Martin Pool, John Arbash Meinel)
5447
* 'branches.conf' has been changed to 'locations.conf', since it can apply
5448
to more locations than just branch locations.
5453
* The revision specifier "revno:" is extended to accept the syntax
5454
revno:N:branch. For example,
5455
revno:42:http://bazaar-vcs.org/bzr/bzr.dev/ means revision 42 in
5456
bzr.dev. (Matthieu Moy)
5458
* Tests updates to ensure proper URL handling, UNICODE support, and
5459
proper printing when the user's terminal encoding cannot display
5460
the path of a file that has been versioned.
5461
``bzr branch`` can take a target URL rather than only a local directory.
5462
``Branch.get_parent()/set_parent()`` now save a relative path if possible,
5463
and normalize the parent based on root, allowing access across
5464
different transports. (John Arbash Meinel, Wouter van Heyst, Martin Pool)
5465
(Malone #48906, #42699, #40675, #5281, #3980, #36363, #43689,
5468
* On Unix, detect terminal width using an ioctl not just $COLUMNS.
5469
Use terminal width for single-line logs from ``bzr log --line`` and
5470
pending-merge display. (Robert Widhopf-Fenk, Gustavo Niemeyer)
5473
* On Windows, detect terminal width using GetConsoleScreenBufferInfo.
5474
(Alexander Belchenko)
5476
* Speedup improvement for 'date:'-revision search. (Guillaume Pinot).
5478
* Show the correct number of revisions pushed when pushing a new branch.
5481
* 'bzr selftest' now shows a progress bar with the number of tests, and
5482
progress made. 'make check' shows tests in -v mode, to be more useful
5483
for the PQM status window. (Robert Collins).
5484
When using a progress bar, failed tests are printed out, rather than
5485
being overwritten by the progress bar until the suite finishes.
5486
(John Arbash Meinel)
5488
* 'bzr selftest --benchmark' will run a new benchmarking selftest.
5489
'bzr selftest --benchmark --lsprof-timed' will use lsprofile to generate
5490
profile data for the individual profiled calls, allowing for fine
5491
grained analysis of performance.
5492
(Robert Collins, Martin Pool).
5494
* 'bzr commit' shows a progress bar. This is useful for commits over sftp
5495
where commit can take an appreciable time. (Robert Collins)
5497
* 'bzr add' is now less verbose in telling you what ignore globs were
5498
matched by files being ignored. Instead it just tells you how many
5499
were ignored (because you might reasonably be expecting none to be
5500
ignored). 'bzr add -v' is unchanged and will report every ignored
5501
file. (Robert Collins).
5503
* ftp now has a test server if medusa is installed. As part of testing,
5504
ftp support has been improved, including support for supplying a
5505
non-standard port. (John Arbash Meinel).
5507
* 'bzr log --line' shows the revision number, and uses only the
5508
first line of the log message (#5162, Alexander Belchenko;
5511
* 'bzr status' has had the --all option removed. The 'bzr ls' command
5512
should be used to retrieve all versioned files. (Robert Collins)
5514
* 'bzr bundle OTHER/BRANCH' will create a bundle which can be sent
5515
over email, and applied on the other end, while maintaining ancestry.
5516
This bundle can be applied with either 'bzr merge' or 'bzr pull',
5517
the same way you would apply another branch.
5518
(John Arbash Meinel, Aaron Bentley)
5520
* 'bzr whoami' can now be used to set your identity from the command line,
5521
for a branch or globally. (Robey Pointer)
5523
* 'bzr checkout' now aliased to 'bzr co', and 'bzr annotate' to 'bzr ann'.
5526
* 'bzr revert DIRECTORY' now reverts the contents of the directory as well.
5529
* 'bzr get sftp://foo' gives a better error when paramiko is not present.
5530
Also updates things like 'http+pycurl://' if pycurl is not present.
5531
(John Arbash Meinel) (Malone #47821, #52204)
5533
* New env variable ``BZR_PROGRESS_BAR``, sets the default progress bar type.
5534
Can be set to 'none' or 'dummy' to disable the progress bar, 'dots' or
5535
'tty' to create the respective type. (John Arbash Meinel, #42197, #51107)
5537
* Improve the help text for 'bzr diff' to explain what various options do.
5538
(John Arbash Meinel, #6391)
5540
* 'bzr uncommit -r 10' now uncommits revisions 11.. rather than uncommitting
5541
revision 10. This makes -r10 more in line with what other commands do.
5542
'bzr uncommit' also now saves the pending merges of the revisions that
5543
were removed. So it is safe to uncommit after a merge, fix something,
5544
and commit again. (John Arbash Meinel, #32526, #31426)
5546
* 'bzr init' now also works on remote locations.
5547
(Wouter van Heyst, #48904)
5549
* HTTP support has been updated. When using pycurl we now support
5550
connection keep-alive, which reduces dns requests and round trips.
5551
And for both urllib and pycurl we support multi-range requests,
5552
which decreases the number of round-trips. Performance results for
5553
``bzr branch http://bazaar-vcs.org/bzr/bzr.dev/`` indicate
5554
http branching is now 2-3x faster, and ``bzr pull`` in an existing
5555
branch is as much as 4x faster.
5556
(Michael Ellerman, Johan Rydberg, John Arbash Meinel, #46768)
5558
* Performance improvements for sftp. Branching and pulling are now up to
5559
2x faster. Utilize paramiko.readv() support for async requests if it
5560
is available (paramiko > 1.6) (John Arbash Meinel)
5564
* Fix shadowed definition of TestLocationConfig that caused some
5566
(Erik Bågfors, Michael Ellerman, Martin Pool, #32587)
5568
* Fix unnecessary requirement of sign-my-commits that it be run from
5569
a working directory. (Martin Pool, Robert Collins)
5571
* 'bzr push location' will only remember the push location if it succeeds
5572
in connecting to the remote location. (John Arbash Meinel, #49742)
5574
* 'bzr revert' no longer toggles the executable bit on win32
5575
(John Arbash Meinel, #45010)
5577
* Handle broken pipe under win32 correctly. (John Arbash Meinel)
5579
* sftp tests now work correctly on win32 if you have a newer paramiko
5580
(John Arbash Meinel)
5582
* Cleanup win32 test suite, and general cleanup of places where
5583
file handles were being held open. (John Arbash Meinel)
5585
* When specifying filenames for 'diff -r x..y', the name of the file in the
5586
working directory can be used, even if its name is different in both x
5589
* File-ids containing single- or double-quotes are handled correctly by
5590
push. (Aaron Bentley, #52227)
5592
* Normalize unicode filenames to ensure cross-platform consistency.
5593
(John Arbash Meinel, #43689)
5595
* The argument parser can now handle '-' as an argument. Currently
5596
no code interprets it specially (it is mostly handled as a file named
5597
'-'). But plugins, and future operations can use it.
5598
(John Arbash meinel, #50984)
5600
* Bundles can properly read binary files with a plain '\r' in them.
5601
(John Arbash Meinel, #51927)
5603
* Tuning ``iter_entries()`` to be more efficient (John Arbash Meinel, #5444)
5605
* Lots of win32 fixes (the test suite passes again).
5606
(John Arbash Meinel, #50155)
5608
* Handle openbsd returning None for sys.getfilesystemencoding() (#41183)
5610
* Support ftp APPE (append) to allow Knits to be used over ftp (#42592)
5612
* Removals are only committed if they match the filespec (or if there is
5613
no filespec). (#46635, Aaron Bentley)
5615
* smart-add recurses through all supplied directories
5616
(John Arbash Meinel, #52578)
5618
* Make the bundle reader extra lines before and after the bundle text.
5619
This allows you to parse an email with the bundle inline.
5620
(John Arbash Meinel, #49182)
5622
* Change the file id generator to squash a little bit more. Helps when
5623
working with long filenames on windows. (Also helps for unicode filenames
5624
not generating hidden files). (John Arbash Meinel, #43801)
5626
* Restore terminal mode on C-c while reading sftp password. (#48923,
5627
Nicholas Allen, Martin Pool)
5629
* Timestamps are rounded to 1ms, and revision entries can be recreated
5630
exactly. (John Arbash Meinel, Jamie Wilkinson, #40693)
5632
* Branch.base has changed to a URL, but ~/.bazaar/locations.conf should
5633
use local paths, since it is user visible (John Arbash Meinel, #53653)
5635
* ``bzr status foo`` when foo was unversioned used to cause a full delta
5636
to be generated (John Arbash Meinel, #53638)
5638
* When reading revision properties, an empty value should be considered
5639
the empty string, not None (John Arbash Meinel, #47782)
5641
* ``bzr diff --diff-options`` can now handle binary files being changed.
5642
Also, the output is consistent when --diff-options is not supplied.
5643
(John Arbash Meinel, #54651, #52930)
5645
* Use the right suffixes for loading plugins (John Arbash Meinel, #51810)
5647
* Fix ``Branch.get_parent()`` to handle the case when the parent is not
5648
accessible (John Arbash Meinel, #52976)
5652
* Combine the ignore rules into a single regex rather than looping over
5653
them to reduce the threshold where N^2 behaviour occurs in operations
5654
like status. (Jan Hudec, Robert Collins).
5656
* Appending to ``bzrlib.DEFAULT_IGNORE`` is now deprecated. Instead, use
5657
one of the add functions in bzrlib.ignores. (John Arbash Meinel)
5659
* 'bzr push' should only push the ancestry of the current revision, not
5660
all of the history in the repository. This is especially important for
5661
shared repositories. (John Arbash Meinel)
5663
* ``bzrlib.delta.compare_trees`` now iterates in alphabetically sorted order,
5664
rather than randomly walking the inventories. (John Arbash Meinel)
5666
* Doctests are now run in temporary directories which are cleaned up when
5667
they finish, rather than using special ScratchDir/ScratchBranch objects.
5670
* Split ``check`` into separate methods on the branch and on the repository,
5671
so that it can be specialized in ways that are useful or efficient for
5672
different formats. (Martin Pool, Robert Collins)
5674
* Deprecate ``Repository.all_revision_ids``; most methods don't really need
5675
the global revision graph but only that part leading up to a particular
5676
revision. (Martin Pool, Robert Collins)
5678
* Add a BzrDirFormat ``control_formats`` list which allows for control formats
5679
that do not use '.bzr' to store their data - i.e. '.svn', '.hg' etc.
5680
(Robert Collins, Jelmer Vernooij).
5682
* ``bzrlib.diff.external_diff`` can be redirected to any file-like object.
5683
Uses subprocess instead of spawnvp.
5684
(James Henstridge, John Arbash Meinel, #4047, #48914)
5686
* New command line option '--profile-imports', which will install a custom
5687
importer to log time to import modules and regex compilation time to
5688
sys.stderr (John Arbash Meinel)
5690
* 'EmptyTree' is now deprecated, please use ``repository.revision_tree(None)``
5691
instead. (Robert Collins)
5693
* "RevisionTree" is now in bzrlib/revisiontree.py. (Robert Collins)
5695
bzr 0.8.2 2006-05-17
5696
---------------------
5700
* setup.py failed to install launchpad plugin. (Martin Pool)
5702
bzr 0.8.1 2006-05-16
5703
---------------------
5707
* Fix failure to commit a merge in a checkout. (Martin Pool,
5708
Robert Collins, Erik Bågfors, #43959)
5710
* Nicer messages from 'commit' in the case of renames, and correct
5711
messages when a merge has occured. (Robert Collins, Martin Pool)
5713
* Separate functionality from assert statements as they are skipped in
5714
optimized mode of python. Add the same check to pending merges.
5715
(Olaf Conradi, #44443)
5719
* Do not show the None revision in output of bzr ancestry. (Olaf Conradi)
5721
* Add info on standalone branches without a working tree.
5722
(Olaf Conradi, #44155)
5724
* Fix bug in knits when raising InvalidRevisionId. (Olaf Conradi, #44284)
5728
* Make editor invocation comply with Debian Policy. First check
5729
environment variables VISUAL and EDITOR, then try editor from
5730
alternatives system. If that all fails, fall back to the pre-defined
5731
list of editors. (Olaf Conradi, #42904)
5735
* New 'register-branch' command registers a public branch into
5736
Launchpad.net, where it can be associated with bugs, etc.
5737
(Martin Pool, Bjorn Tillenius, Robert Collins)
5741
* New public api in InventoryEntry - ``describe_change(old, new)`` which
5742
provides a human description of the changes between two old and
5743
new. (Robert Collins, Martin Pool)
5747
* Fix test case for bzr info in upgrading a standalone branch to metadir,
5748
uses bzrlib api now. (Olaf Conradi)
5753
NOTES WHEN UPGRADING:
5755
Release 0.8 of bzr introduces a new format for history storage, called
5756
'knit', as an evolution of to the 'weave' format used in 0.7. Local
5757
and remote operations are faster using knits than weaves. Several
5758
operations including 'init', 'init-repo', and 'upgrade' take a
5759
--format option that controls this. Branching from an existing branch
5760
will keep the same format.
5762
It is possible to merge, pull and push between branches of different
5763
formats but this is slower than moving data between homogenous
5764
branches. It is therefore recommended (but not required) that you
5765
upgrade all branches for a project at the same time. Information on
5766
formats is shown by 'bzr info'.
5768
bzr 0.8 now allows creation of 'repositories', which hold the history
5769
of files and revisions for several branches. Previously bzr kept all
5770
the history for a branch within the .bzr directory at the root of the
5771
branch, and this is still the default. To create a repository, use
5772
the new 'bzr init-repo' command. Branches exist as directories under
5773
the repository and contain just a small amount of information
5774
indicating the current revision of the branch.
5776
bzr 0.8 also supports 'checkouts', which are similar to in cvs and
5777
subversion. Checkouts are associated with a branch (optionally in a
5778
repository), which contains all the historical information. The
5779
result is that a checkout can be deleted without losing any
5780
already-committed revisions. A new 'update' command is also available.
5782
Repositories and checkouts are not supported with the 0.7 storage
5783
format. To use them you must upgrad to either knits, or to the
5784
'metaweave' format, which uses weaves but changes the .bzr directory
5790
* Sftp paths can now be relative, or local, according to the lftp
5791
convention. Paths now take the form::
5793
sftp://user:pass@host:port/~/relative/path
5795
sftp://user:pass@host:port/absolute/path
5797
* The FTP transport now tries to reconnect after a temporary
5798
failure. ftp put is made atomic. (Matthieu Moy)
5800
* The FTP transport now maintains a pool of connections, and
5801
reuses them to avoid multiple connections to the same host (like
5802
sftp did). (Daniel Silverstone)
5804
* The ``bzr_man.py`` file has been removed. To create the man page now,
5805
use ``./generate_docs.py man``. The new program can also create other files.
5806
Run ``python generate_docs.py --help`` for usage information.
5807
(Hans Ulrich Niedermann & James Blackwell).
5809
* Man Page now gives full help (James Blackwell).
5810
Help also updated to reflect user config now being stored in .bazaar
5811
(Hans Ulrich Niedermann)
5813
* It's now possible to set aliases in bazaar.conf (Erik Bågfors)
5815
* Pull now accepts a --revision argument (Erik Bågfors)
5817
* ``bzr re-sign`` now allows multiple revisions to be supplied on the command
5818
line. You can now use the following command to sign all of your old
5821
find .bzr/revision-store// -name my@email-* \
5822
| sed 's/.*\/\/..\///' \
5825
* Upgrade can now upgrade over the network. (Robert Collins)
5827
* Two new commands 'bzr checkout' and 'bzr update' allow for CVS/SVN-alike
5828
behaviour. By default they will cache history in the checkout, but
5829
with --lightweight almost all data is kept in the master branch.
5832
* 'revert' unversions newly-versioned files, instead of deleting them.
5834
* 'merge' is more robust. Conflict messages have changed.
5836
* 'merge' and 'revert' no longer clobber existing files that end in '~' or
5839
* Default log format can be set in configuration and plugins can register
5840
their own formatters. (Erik Bågfors)
5842
* New 'reconcile' command will check branch consistency and repair indexes
5843
that can become out of sync in pre 0.8 formats. (Robert Collins,
5846
* New 'bzr init --format' and 'bzr upgrade --format' option to control
5847
what storage format is created or produced. (Robert Collins,
5850
* Add parent location to 'bzr info', if there is one. (Olaf Conradi)
5852
* New developer commands 'weave-list' and 'weave-join'. (Martin Pool)
5854
* New 'init-repository' command, plus support for repositories in 'init'
5855
and 'branch' (Aaron Bentley, Erik Bågfors, Robert Collins)
5857
* Improve output of 'info' command. Show all relevant locations related to
5858
working tree, branch and repository. Use kibibytes for binary quantities.
5859
Fix off-by-one error in missing revisions of working tree. Make 'info'
5860
work on branches, repositories and remote locations. Show locations
5861
relative to the shared repository, if applicable. Show locking status
5862
of locations. (Olaf Conradi)
5864
* Diff and merge now safely handle binary files. (Aaron Bentley)
5866
* 'pull' and 'push' now normalise the revision history, so that any two
5867
branches with the same tip revision will have the same output from 'log'.
5870
* 'merge' accepts --remember option to store parent location, like 'push'
5871
and 'pull'. (Olaf Conradi)
5873
* bzr status and diff when files given as arguments do not exist
5874
in the relevant trees. (Martin Pool, #3619)
5876
* Add '.hg' to the default ignore list. (Martin Pool)
5878
* 'knit' is now the default disk format. This improves disk performance and
5879
utilization, increases incremental pull performance, robustness with SFTP
5880
and allows checkouts over SFTP to perform acceptably.
5881
The initial Knit code was contributed by Johan Rydberg based on a
5882
specification by Martin Pool.
5883
(Robert Collins, Aaron Bentley, Johan Rydberg, Martin Pool).
5885
* New tool to generate all-in-one html version of the manual. (Alexander
5888
* Hitting CTRL-C while doing an SFTP push will no longer cause stale locks
5889
to be left in the SFTP repository. (Robert Collins, Martin Pool).
5891
* New option 'diff --prefix' to control how files are named in diff
5892
output, with shortcuts '-p0' and '-p1' corresponding to the options for
5893
GNU patch. (Alexander Belchenko, Goffredo Baroncelli, Martin Pool)
5895
* Add --revision option to 'annotate' command. (Olaf Conradi)
5897
* If bzr shows an unexpected revision-history after pulling (perhaps due
5898
to a reweave) it can now be corrected by 'bzr reconcile'.
5903
* Commit is now verbose by default, and shows changed filenames and the
5904
new revision number. (Robert Collins, Martin Pool)
5906
* Unify 'mv', 'move', 'rename'. (Matthew Fuller, #5379)
5908
* 'bzr -h' shows help. (Martin Pool, Ian Bicking, #35940)
5910
* Make 'pull' and 'push' remember location on failure using --remember.
5913
* For compatibility, make old format for using weaves inside metadir
5914
available as 'metaweave' format. Rename format 'metadir' to 'default'.
5915
Clean up help for option --format in commands 'init', 'init-repo' and
5916
'upgrade'. (Olaf Conradi)
5920
* The internal storage of history, and logical branch identity have now
5921
been split into Branch, and Repository. The common locking and file
5922
management routines are now in bzrlib.lockablefiles.
5923
(Aaron Bentley, Robert Collins, Martin Pool)
5925
* Transports can now raise DependencyNotPresent if they need a library
5926
which is not installed, and then another implementation will be
5927
tried. (Martin Pool)
5929
* Remove obsolete (and no-op) `decode` parameter to `Transport.get`.
5932
* Using Tree Transform for merge, revert, tree-building
5934
* WorkingTree.create, Branch.create, ``WorkingTree.create_standalone``,
5935
Branch.initialize are now deprecated. Please see ``BzrDir.create_*`` for
5936
replacement API's. (Robert Collins)
5938
* New BzrDir class represents the .bzr control directory and manages
5939
formatting issues. (Robert Collins)
5941
* New repository.InterRepository class encapsulates Repository to
5942
Repository actions and allows for clean selection of optimised code
5943
paths. (Robert Collins)
5945
* ``bzrlib.fetch.fetch`` and ``bzrlib.fetch.greedy_fetch`` are now
5946
deprecated, please use ``branch.fetch`` or ``repository.fetch``
5947
depending on your needs. (Robert Collins)
5949
* deprecated methods now have a ``is_deprecated`` flag on them that can
5950
be checked, if you need to determine whether a given callable is
5951
deprecated at runtime. (Robert Collins)
5953
* Progress bars are now nested - see
5954
``bzrlib.ui.ui_factory.nested_progress_bar``.
5955
(Robert Collins, Robey Pointer)
5957
* New API call ``get_format_description()`` for each type of format.
5960
* Changed ``branch.set_parent()`` to accept None to remove parent.
5963
* Deprecated BzrError AmbiguousBase. (Olaf Conradi)
5965
* WorkingTree.branch is now a read only property. (Robert Collins)
5967
* bzrlib.ui.text.TextUIFactory now accepts a ``bar_type`` parameter which
5968
can be None or a factory that will create a progress bar. This is
5969
useful for testing or for overriding the bzrlib.progress heuristic.
5972
* New API method ``get_physical_lock_status()`` to query locks present on a
5973
transport. (Olaf Conradi)
5975
* Repository.reconcile now takes a thorough keyword parameter to allow
5976
requesting an indepth reconciliation, rather than just a data-loss
5977
check. (Robert Collins)
5979
* ``bzrlib.ui.ui_factory protocol`` now supports ``get_boolean`` to prompt
5980
the user for yes/no style input. (Robert Collins)
5984
* SFTP tests now shortcut the SSH negotiation, reducing test overhead
5985
for testing SFTP protocol support. (Robey Pointer)
5987
* Branch formats are now tested once per implementation (see ``bzrlib.
5988
tests.branch_implementations``. This is analagous to the transport
5989
interface tests, and has been followed up with working tree,
5990
repository and BzrDir tests. (Robert Collins)
5992
* New test base class TestCaseWithTransport provides a transport aware
5993
test environment, useful for testing any transport-interface using
5994
code. The test suite option --transport controls the transport used
5995
by this class (when its not being used as part of implementation
5996
contract testing). (Robert Collins)
5998
* Close logging handler on disabling the test log. This will remove the
5999
handler from the internal list inside python's logging module,
6000
preventing shutdown from closing it twice. (Olaf Conradi)
6002
* Move test case for uncommit to blackbox tests. (Olaf Conradi)
6004
* ``run_bzr`` and ``run_bzr_captured`` now accept a 'stdin="foo"'
6005
parameter which will provide String("foo") to the command as its stdin.
6012
* .bzrignore is excluded from exports, on the grounds that it's a bzr
6013
internal-use file and may not be wanted. (Jamie Wilkinson)
6015
* The "bzr directories" command were removed in favor of the new
6016
--kind option to the "bzr inventory" command. To list all
6017
versioned directories, now use "bzr inventory --kind directory".
6020
* Under Windows configuration directory is now ``%APPDATA%\bazaar\2.0``
6021
by default. (John Arbash Meinel)
6023
* The parent of Bzr configuration directory can be set by ``BZR_HOME``
6024
environment variable. Now the path for it is searched in ``BZR_HOME``,
6025
then in HOME. Under Windows the order is: ``BZR_HOME``, ``APPDATA``
6026
(usually points to ``C:\Documents and Settings\User Name\Application Data``),
6027
``HOME``. (John Arbash Meinel)
6029
* Plugins with the same name in different directories in the bzr plugin
6030
path are no longer loaded: only the first successfully loaded one is
6031
used. (Robert Collins)
6033
* Use systems' external ssh command to open connections if possible.
6034
This gives better integration with user settings such as ProxyCommand.
6037
* Permissions on files underneath .bzr/ are inherited from the .bzr
6038
directory. So for a shared repository, simply doing 'chmod -R g+w .bzr/'
6039
will mean that future file will be created with group write permissions.
6041
* configure.in and config.guess are no longer in the builtin default
6044
* '.sw[nop]' pattern ignored, to ignore vim swap files for nameless
6045
files. (John Arbash Meinel, Martin Pool)
6049
* "bzr INIT dir" now initializes the specified directory, and creates
6050
it if it does not exist. (John Arbash Meinel)
6052
* New remerge command (Aaron Bentley)
6054
* Better zsh completion script. (Steve Borho)
6056
* 'bzr diff' now returns 1 when there are changes in the working
6057
tree. (Robert Collins)
6059
* 'bzr push' now exists and can push changes to a remote location.
6060
This uses the transport infrastructure, and can store the remote
6061
location in the ~/.bazaar/branches.conf configuration file.
6064
* Test directories are only kept if the test fails and the user requests
6067
* Tweaks to short log printing
6069
* Added branch nicks, new nick command, printing them in log output.
6072
* If ``$BZR_PDB`` is set, pop into the debugger when an uncaught exception
6073
occurs. (Martin Pool)
6075
* Accept 'bzr resolved' (an alias for 'bzr resolve'), as this is
6076
the same as Subversion. (Martin Pool)
6078
* New ftp transport support (on ftplib), for ftp:// and aftp://
6079
URLs. (Daniel Silverstone)
6081
* Commit editor temporary files now start with ``bzr_log.``, to allow
6082
text editors to match the file name and set up appropriate modes or
6083
settings. (Magnus Therning)
6085
* Improved performance when integrating changes from a remote weave.
6086
(Goffredo Baroncelli)
6088
* Sftp will attempt to cache the connection, so it is more likely that
6089
a connection will be reused, rather than requiring multiple password
6092
* bzr revno now takes an optional argument indicating the branch whose
6093
revno should be printed. (Michael Ellerman)
6095
* bzr cat defaults to printing the last version of the file.
6096
(Matthieu Moy, #3632)
6098
* New global option 'bzr --lsprof COMMAND' runs bzr under the lsprof
6099
profiler. (Denys Duchier)
6101
* Faster commits by reading only the headers of affected weave files.
6104
* 'bzr add' now takes a --dry-run parameter which shows you what would be
6105
added, but doesn't actually add anything. (Michael Ellerman)
6107
* 'bzr add' now lists how many files were ignored per glob. add --verbose
6108
lists the specific files. (Aaron Bentley)
6110
* 'bzr missing' now supports displaying changes in diverged trees and can
6111
be limited to show what either end of the comparison is missing.
6112
(Aaron Bently, with a little prompting from Daniel Silverstone)
6116
* SFTP can walk up to the root path without index errors. (Robert Collins)
6118
* Fix bugs in running bzr with 'python -O'. (Martin Pool)
6120
* Error when run with -OO
6122
* Fix bug in reporting http errors that don't have an http error code.
6125
* Handle more cases of pipe errors in display commands
6127
* Change status to 3 for all errors
6129
* Files that are added and unlinked before committing are completely
6130
ignored by diff and status
6132
* Stores with some compressed texts and some uncompressed texts are now
6133
able to be used. (John A Meinel)
6135
* Fix for bzr pull failing sometimes under windows
6137
* Fix for sftp transport under windows when using interactive auth
6139
* Show files which are both renamed and modified as such in 'bzr
6140
status' output. (Daniel Silverstone, #4503)
6142
* Make annotate cope better with revisions committed without a valid
6143
email address. (Marien Zwart)
6145
* Fix representation of tab characters in commit messages.
6148
* List of plugin directories in ``BZR_PLUGIN_PATH`` environment variable is
6149
now parsed properly under Windows. (Alexander Belchenko)
6151
* Show number of revisions pushed/pulled/merged. (Robey Pointer)
6153
* Keep a cached copy of the basis inventory to speed up operations
6154
that need to refer to it. (Johan Rydberg, Martin Pool)
6156
* Fix bugs in bzr status display of non-ascii characters.
6159
* Remove Makefile.in from default ignore list.
6160
(Tollef Fog Heen, Martin Pool, #6413)
6162
* Fix failure in 'bzr added'. (Nathan McCallum, Martin Pool)
6166
* Fix selftest asking for passwords when there are no SFTP keys.
6167
(Robey Pointer, Jelmer Vernooij)
6169
* Fix selftest run with 'python -O'. (Martin Pool)
6171
* Fix HTTP tests under Windows. (John Arbash Meinel)
6173
* Make tests work even if HOME is not set (Aaron Bentley)
6175
* Updated ``build_tree`` to use fixed line-endings for tests which read
6176
the file cotents and compare. Make some tests use this to pass under
6177
Windows. (John Arbash Meinel)
6179
* Skip stat and symlink tests under Windows. (Alexander Belchenko)
6181
* Delay in selftest/testhashcash is now issued under win32 and Cygwin.
6182
(John Arbash Meinel)
6184
* Use terminal width to align verbose test output. (Martin Pool)
6186
* Blackbox tests are maintained within the bzrlib.tests.blackbox directory.
6187
If adding a new test script please add that to
6188
``bzrlib.tests.blackbox.__init__``. (Robert Collins)
6190
* Much better error message if one of the test suites can't be
6191
imported. (Martin Pool)
6193
* Make check now runs the test suite twice - once with the default locale,
6194
and once with all locales forced to C, to expose bugs. This is not
6195
trivially done within python, so for now its only triggered by running
6196
Make check. Integrators and packagers who wish to check for full
6197
platform support should run 'make check' to test the source.
6200
* Tests can now run TestSkipped if they can't execute for any reason.
6201
(Martin Pool) (NB: TestSkipped should only be raised for correctable
6202
reasons - see the wiki spec ImprovingBzrTestSuite).
6204
* Test sftp with relative, absolute-in-homedir and absolute-not-in-homedir
6205
paths for the transport tests. Introduce blackbox remote sftp tests that
6206
test the same permutations. (Robert Collins, Robey Pointer)
6208
* Transport implementation tests are now independent of the local file
6209
system, which allows tests for esoteric transports, and for features
6210
not available in the local file system. They also repeat for variations
6211
on the URL scheme that can introduce issues in the transport code,
6212
see bzrlib.transport.TransportTestProviderAdapter() for this.
6215
* ``TestCase.build_tree`` uses the transport interface to build trees,
6216
pass in a transport parameter to give it an existing connection.
6221
* WorkingTree.pull has been split across Branch and WorkingTree,
6222
to allow Branch only pulls. (Robert Collins)
6224
* ``commands.display_command`` now returns the result of the decorated
6225
function. (Robert Collins)
6227
* LocationConfig now has a ``set_user_option(key, value)`` call to save
6228
a setting in its matching location section (a new one is created
6229
if needed). (Robert Collins)
6231
* Branch has two new methods, ``get_push_location`` and
6232
``set_push_location`` to respectively, get and set the push location.
6235
* ``commands.register_command`` now takes an optional flag to signal that
6236
the registrant is planning to decorate an existing command. When
6237
given multiple plugins registering a command is not an error, and
6238
the original command class (whether built in or a plugin based one) is
6239
returned to the caller. There is a new error 'MustUseDecorated' for
6240
signalling when a wrapping command should switch to the original
6241
version. (Robert Collins)
6243
* Some option parsing errors will raise 'BzrOptionError', allowing
6244
granular detection for decorating commands. (Robert Collins).
6246
* ``Branch.read_working_inventory`` has moved to
6247
``WorkingTree.read_working_inventory``. This necessitated changes to
6248
``Branch.get_root_id``, and a move of ``Branch.set_inventory`` to
6249
WorkingTree as well. To make it clear that a WorkingTree cannot always
6250
be obtained ``Branch.working_tree()`` will raise
6251
``errors.NoWorkingTree`` if one cannot be obtained. (Robert Collins)
6253
* All pending merges operations from Branch are now on WorkingTree.
6256
* The follow operations from Branch have moved to WorkingTree::
6266
* ``bzrlib.add.smart_add_branch`` is now ``smart_add_tree``. (Robert Collins)
6268
* New "rio" serialization format, similar to rfc-822. (Martin Pool)
6270
* Rename selftests to ``bzrlib.tests.test_foo``. (John A Meinel, Martin
6273
* ``bzrlib.plugin.all_plugins`` has been changed from an attribute to a
6274
query method. (Robert Collins)
6276
* New options to read only the table-of-contents of a weave.
6279
* Raise NoSuchFile when someone tries to add a non-existant file.
6282
* Simplify handling of DivergedBranches in ``cmd_pull()``.
6285
* Branch.controlfile* logic has moved to lockablefiles.LockableFiles, which
6286
is exposed as ``Branch().control_files``. Also this has been altered with the
6287
controlfile pre/suffix replaced by simple method names like 'get' and
6288
'put'. (Aaron Bentley, Robert Collins).
6290
* Deprecated functions and methods can now be marked as such using the
6291
``bzrlib.symbol_versioning`` module. Marked method have their docstring
6292
updated and will issue a DeprecationWarning using the warnings module
6293
when they are used. (Robert Collins)
6295
* ``bzrlib.osutils.safe_unicode`` now exists to provide parameter coercion
6296
for functions that need unicode strings. (Robert Collins)
6303
* pull now takes --verbose to show you what revisions are added or removed
6306
* merge now takes a --show-base option to include the base text in
6310
* The config files are now read using ConfigObj, so '=' should be used as
6311
a separator, not ':'.
6314
* New 'bzr commit --strict' option refuses to commit if there are
6315
any unknown files in the tree. To commit, make sure all files are
6316
either ignored, added, or deleted. (Michael Ellerman)
6318
* The config directory is now ~/.bazaar, and there is a single file
6319
~/.bazaar/bazaar.conf storing email, editor and other preferences.
6322
* 'bzr add' no longer takes a --verbose option, and a --quiet option
6323
has been added that suppresses all output.
6325
* Improved zsh completion support in contrib/zsh, from Clint
6328
* Builtin 'bzr annotate' command, by Martin Pool with improvements from
6329
Goffredo Baroncelli.
6331
* 'bzr check' now accepts -v for verbose reporting, and checks for
6332
ghosts in the branch. (Robert Collins)
6334
* New command 're-sign' which will regenerate the gpg signature for
6335
a revision. (Robert Collins)
6337
* If you set ``check_signatures=require`` for a path in
6338
``~/.bazaar/branches.conf`` then bzr will invoke your
6339
``gpg_signing_command`` (defaults to gpg) and record a digital signature
6340
of your commit. (Robert Collins)
6342
* New sftp transport, based on Paramiko. (Robey Pointer)
6344
* 'bzr pull' now accepts '--clobber' which will discard local changes
6345
and make this branch identical to the source branch. (Robert Collins)
6347
* Just give a quieter warning if a plugin can't be loaded, and
6348
put the details in .bzr.log. (Martin Pool)
6350
* 'bzr branch' will now set the branch-name to the last component of the
6351
output directory, if one was supplied.
6353
* If the option ``post_commit`` is set to one (or more) python function
6354
names (must be in the bzrlib namespace), then they will be invoked
6355
after the commit has completed, with the branch and ``revision_id`` as
6356
parameters. (Robert Collins)
6358
* Merge now has a retcode of 1 when conflicts occur. (Robert Collins)
6360
* --merge-type weave is now supported for file contents. Tree-shape
6361
changes are still three-way based. (Martin Pool, Aaron Bentley)
6363
* 'bzr check' allows the first revision on revision-history to have
6364
parents - something that is expected for cheap checkouts, and occurs
6365
when conversions from baz do not have all history. (Robert Collins).
6367
* 'bzr merge' can now graft unrelated trees together, if your specify
6368
0 as a base. (Aaron Bentley)
6370
* 'bzr commit branch' and 'bzr commit branch/file1 branch/file2' now work
6373
* Add '.sconsign*' to default ignore list. (Alexander Belchenko)
6375
* 'bzr merge --reprocess' minimizes conflicts
6379
* The 'bzr selftest --pattern' option for has been removed, now
6380
test specifiers on the command line can be simple strings, or
6381
regexps, or both. (Robert Collins)
6383
* Passing -v to selftest will now show the time each test took to
6384
complete, which will aid in analysing performance regressions and
6385
related questions. (Robert Collins)
6387
* 'bzr selftest' runs all tests, even if one fails, unless '--one'
6388
is given. (Martin Pool)
6390
* There is a new method for TestCaseInTempDir, assertFileEqual, which
6391
will check that a given content is equal to the content of the named
6392
file. (Robert Collins)
6394
* Fix test suite's habit of leaving many temporary log files in $TMPDIR.
6399
* New 'testament' command and concept for making gpg-signatures
6400
of revisions that are not tied to a particular internal
6401
representation. (Martin Pool).
6403
* Per-revision properties ('revprops') as key-value associated
6404
strings on each revision created when the revision is committed.
6405
Intended mainly for the use of external tools. (Martin Pool).
6407
* Config options have moved from bzrlib.osutils to bzrlib.config.
6410
* Improved command line option definitions allowing explanations
6411
for individual options, among other things. Contributed by
6414
* Config options have moved from bzrlib.osutils to bzrlib.config.
6415
Configuration is now done via the config.Config interface:
6416
Depending on whether you have a Branch, a Location or no information
6417
available, construct a ``*Config``, and use its ``signature_checking``,
6418
``username`` and ``user_email`` methods. (Robert Collins)
6420
* Plugins are now loaded under bzrlib.plugins, not bzrlib.plugin, and
6421
they are made available for other plugins to use. You should not
6422
import other plugins during the ``__init__`` of your plugin though, as
6423
no ordering is guaranteed, and the plugins directory is not on the
6424
python path. (Robert Collins)
6426
* Branch.relpath has been moved to WorkingTree.relpath. WorkingTree no
6427
no longer takes an inventory, rather it takes an option branch
6428
parameter, and if None is given will open the branch at basedir
6429
implicitly. (Robert Collins)
6431
* Cleaner exception structure and error reporting. Suggested by
6432
Scott James Remnant. (Martin Pool)
6434
* Branch.remove has been moved to WorkingTree, which has also gained
6435
``lock_read``, ``lock_write`` and ``unlock`` methods for convenience.
6438
* Two decorators, ``needs_read_lock`` and ``needs_write_lock`` have been
6439
added to the branch module. Use these to cause a function to run in a
6440
read or write lock respectively. (Robert Collins)
6442
* ``Branch.open_containing`` now returns a tuple (Branch, relative-path),
6443
which allows direct access to the common case of 'get me this file
6444
from its branch'. (Robert Collins)
6446
* Transports can register using ``register_lazy_transport``, and they
6447
will be loaded when first used. (Martin Pool)
6449
* 'pull' has been factored out of the command as ``WorkingTree.pull()``.
6450
A new option to WorkingTree.pull has been added, clobber, which will
6451
ignore diverged history and pull anyway.
6454
* config.Config has a ``get_user_option`` call that accepts an option name.
6455
This will be looked up in branches.conf and bazaar.conf as normal.
6456
It is intended that this be used by plugins to support options -
6457
options of built in programs should have specific methods on the config.
6460
* ``merge.merge_inner`` now has tempdir as an optional parameter.
6463
* Tree.kind is not recorded at the top level of the hierarchy, as it was
6464
missing on EmptyTree, leading to a bug with merge on EmptyTrees.
6467
* ``WorkingTree.__del__`` has been removed, it was non deterministic and not
6468
doing what it was intended to. See ``WorkingTree.__init__`` for a comment
6469
about future directions. (Robert Collins/Martin Pool)
6471
* bzrlib.transport.http has been modified so that only 404 urllib errors
6472
are returned as NoSuchFile. Other exceptions will propogate as normal.
6473
This allows debuging of actual errors. (Robert Collins)
6475
* bzrlib.transport.Transport now accepts *ONLY* url escaped relative paths
6476
to apis like 'put', 'get' and 'has'. This is to provide consistent
6477
behaviour - it operates on url's only. (Robert Collins)
6479
* Transports can register using ``register_lazy_transport``, and they
6480
will be loaded when first used. (Martin Pool)
6482
* ``merge_flex`` no longer calls ``conflict_handler.finalize()``, instead that
6483
is called by ``merge_inner``. This is so that the conflict count can be
6484
retrieved (and potentially manipulated) before returning to the caller
6485
of ``merge_inner``. Likewise 'merge' now returns the conflict count to the
6486
caller. (Robert Collins)
6488
* ``revision.revision_graph`` can handle having only partial history for
6489
a revision - that is no revisions in the graph with no parents.
6492
* New ``builtins.branch_files`` uses the standard ``file_list`` rules to
6493
produce a branch and a list of paths, relative to that branch
6496
* New TestCase.addCleanup facility.
6498
* New ``bzrlib.version_info`` tuple (similar to ``sys.version_info``),
6499
which can be used by programs importing bzrlib.
6503
* Better handling of branches in directories with non-ascii names.
6504
(Joel Rosdahl, Panagiotis Papadakos)
6506
* Upgrades of trees with no commits will not fail due to accessing
6507
[-1] in the revision-history. (Andres Salomon)
6510
bzr 0.1.1 2005-10-12
6511
--------------------
6515
* Fix problem in pulling over http from machines that do not
6516
allow directories to be listed.
6518
* Avoid harmless warning about invalid hash cache after
6519
upgrading branch format.
6523
* Avoid some unnecessary http operations in branch and pull.
6531
* 'bzr branch' over http initially gives a very high estimate
6532
of completion time but it should fall as the first few
6533
revisions are pulled in. branch is still slow on
6534
high-latency connections.
6538
* bzr-man.py has been updated to work again. Contributed by
6541
* Locking is now done with fcntl.lockf which works with NFS
6542
file systems. Contributed by Harald Meland.
6544
* When a merge encounters a file that has been deleted on
6545
one side and modified on the other, the old contents are
6546
written out to foo.BASE and foo.SIDE, where SIDE is this
6547
or OTHER. Contributed by Aaron Bentley.
6549
* Export was choosing incorrect file paths for the content of
6550
the tarball, this has been fixed by Aaron Bentley.
6552
* Commit will no longer commit without a log message, an
6553
error is returned instead. Contributed by Jelmer Vernooij.
6555
* If you commit a specific file in a sub directory, any of its
6556
parent directories that are added but not listed will be
6557
automatically included. Suggested by Michael Ellerman.
6559
* bzr commit and upgrade did not correctly record new revisions
6560
for files with only a change to their executable status.
6561
bzr will correct this when it encounters it. Fixed by
6564
* HTTP tests now force off the use of ``http_proxy`` for the duration.
6565
Contributed by Gustavo Niemeyer.
6567
* Fix problems in merging weave-based branches that have
6568
different partial views of history.
6570
* Symlink support: working with symlinks when not in the root of a
6571
bzr tree was broken, patch from Scott James Remnant.
6575
* 'branch' now accepts a --basis parameter which will take advantage
6576
of local history when making a new branch. This allows faster
6577
branching of remote branches. Contributed by Aaron Bentley.
6579
* New tree format based on weave files, called version 5.
6580
Existing branches can be upgraded to this format using
6583
* Symlinks are now versionable. Initial patch by
6584
Erik Toubro Nielsen, updated to head by Robert Collins.
6586
* Executable bits are tracked on files. Patch from Gustavo
6589
* 'bzr status' now shows unknown files inside a selected directory.
6590
Patch from Heikki Paajanen.
6592
* Merge conflicts are recorded in .bzr. Two new commands 'conflicts'
6593
and 'resolve' have needed added, which list and remove those
6594
merge conflicts respectively. A conflicted tree cannot be committed
6595
in. Contributed by Aaron Bentley.
6597
* 'rm' is now an alias for 'remove'.
6599
* Stores now split out their content in a single byte prefixed hash,
6600
dropping the density of files per directory by 256. Contributed by
6603
* 'bzr diff -r branch:URL' will now perform a diff between two branches.
6604
Contributed by Robert Collins.
6606
* 'bzr log' with the default formatter will show merged revisions,
6607
indented to the right. Initial implementation contributed by Gustavo
6608
Niemeyer, made incremental by Robert Collins.
6613
* Test case failures have the exception printed after the log
6614
for your viewing pleasure.
6616
* InventoryEntry is now an abstract base class, use one of the
6617
concrete InventoryDirectory etc classes instead.
6619
* Branch raises an UnsupportedFormatError when it detects a
6620
bzr branch it cannot understand. This allows for precise
6621
handling of such circumstances.
6623
* Remove RevisionReference class; ``Revision.parent_ids`` is now simply a
6624
list of their ids and ``parent_sha1s`` is a list of their corresponding
6625
sha1s (for old branches only at the moment.)
6627
* New method-object style interface for Commit() and Fetch().
6629
* Renamed ``Branch.last_patch()`` to ``Branch.last_revision()``, since
6630
we call them revisions not patches.
6632
* Move ``copy_branch`` to ``bzrlib.clone.copy_branch``. The destination
6633
directory is created if it doesn't exist.
6635
* Inventories now identify the files which were present by
6636
giving the revision *of that file*.
6638
* Inventory and Revision XML contains a version identifier.
6639
This must be consistent with the overall branch version
6640
but allows for more flexibility in future upgrades.
6644
* Removed testsweet module so that tests can be run after
6645
bzr installed by 'bzr selftest'.
6647
* 'bzr selftest' command-line arguments can now be partial ids
6648
of tests to run, e.g. ``bzr selftest test_weave``
6651
bzr 0.0.9 2005-09-23
6652
--------------------
6656
* Fixed "branch -r" option.
6658
* Fix remote access to branches containing non-compressed history.
6661
* Better reliability of http server tests. (John Arbash-Meinel)
6663
* Merge graph maximum distance calculation fix. (Aaron Bentley)
6665
* Various minor bug in windows support have been fixed, largely in the
6666
test suite. Contributed by Alexander Belchenko.
6670
* Status now accepts a -r argument to give status between chosen
6671
revisions. Contributed by Heikki Paajanen.
6673
* Revision arguments no longer use +/-/= to control ranges, instead
6674
there is a 'before' namespace, which limits the successive namespace.
6675
For example '$ bzr log -r date:yesterday..before:date:today' will
6676
select everything from yesterday and before today. Contributed by
6679
* There is now a bzr.bat file created by distutils when building on
6680
Windows. Contributed by Alexander Belchenko.
6684
* Removed uuid() as it was unused.
6686
* Improved 'fetch' code for pulling revisions from one branch into
6687
another (used by pull, merged, etc.)
6690
bzr 0.0.8 2005-09-20
6691
--------------------
6695
* Adding a file whose parent directory is not versioned will
6696
implicitly add the parent, and so on up to the root. This means
6697
you should never need to explictly add a directory, they'll just
6698
get added when you add a file in the directory. Contributed by
6701
* Ignore ``.DS_Store`` (contains Mac metadata) by default.
6704
* If you set ``BZR_EDITOR`` in the environment, it is checked in
6705
preference to EDITOR and the config file for the interactive commit
6706
editing program. Related to this is a bugfix where a missing program
6707
set in EDITOR would cause editing to fail, now the fallback program
6708
for the operating system is still tried.
6710
* Files that are not directories/symlinks/regular files will no longer
6711
cause bzr to fail, it will just ignore them by default. You cannot add
6712
them to the tree though - they are not versionable.
6717
* Refactor xml packing/unpacking.
6721
* Fixed 'bzr mv' by Ollie Rutherfurd.
6723
* Fixed strange error when trying to access a nonexistent http
6726
* Make sure that the hashcache gets written out if it can't be
6732
* Various Windows fixes from Ollie Rutherfurd.
6734
* Quieten warnings about locking; patch from Matt Lavin.
6737
bzr-0.0.7 2005-09-02
6738
--------------------
6742
* ``bzr shell-complete`` command contributed by Clint Adams to
6743
help with intelligent shell completion.
6745
* New expert command ``bzr find-merge-base`` for debugging merges.
6750
* Much better merge support.
6752
* merge3 conflicts are now reported with markers like '<<<<<<<'
6753
(seven characters) which is the same as CVS and pleases things
6759
* ``bzr upgrade`` no longer fails when trying to fix trees that
6760
mention revisions that are not present.
6762
* Fixed bugs in listing plugins from ``bzr plugins``.
6764
* Fix case of $EDITOR containing options for the editor.
6766
* Fix log -r refusing to show the last revision.
6767
(Patch from Goffredo Baroncelli.)
6772
* ``bzr log --show-ids`` shows the revision ids of all parents.
6774
* Externally provided commands on your $BZRPATH no longer need
6775
to recognize --bzr-usage to work properly, and can just handle
6781
* Changed trace messages to go through the standard logging
6782
framework, so that they can more easily be redirected by
6787
bzr-0.0.6 2005-08-18
6788
--------------------
6792
* Python plugins, automatically loaded from the directories on
6793
``BZR_PLUGIN_PATH`` or ``~/.bzr.conf/plugins`` by default.
6795
* New 'bzr mkdir' command.
6797
* Commit mesage is fetched from an editor if not given on the
6798
command line; patch from Torsten Marek.
6800
* ``bzr log -m FOO`` displays commits whose message matches regexp
6803
* ``bzr add`` with no arguments adds everything under the current directory.
6805
* ``bzr mv`` does move or rename depending on its arguments, like
6808
* ``bzr missing`` command shows a summary of the differences
6809
between two trees. (Merged from John Arbash-Meinel.)
6811
* An email address for commits to a particular tree can be
6812
specified by putting it into .bzr/email within a branch. (Based
6813
on a patch from Heikki Paajanen.)
6818
* Faster working tree operations.
6823
* 3rd-party modules shipped with bzr are copied within the bzrlib
6824
python package, so that they can be installed by the setup
6825
script without clashing with anything already existing on the
6826
system. (Contributed by Gustavo Niemeyer.)
6828
* Moved plugins directory to bzrlib/, so that there's a standard
6829
plugin directory which is not only installed with bzr itself but
6830
is also available when using bzr from the development tree.
6831
``BZR_PLUGIN_PATH`` and ``DEFAULT_PLUGIN_PATH`` are then added to the
6832
standard plugins directory.
6834
* When exporting to a tarball with ``bzr export --format tgz``, put
6835
everything under a top directory rather than dumping it into the
6836
current directory. This can be overridden with the ``--root``
6837
option. Patch from William Dodé and John Meinel.
6839
* New ``bzr upgrade`` command to upgrade the format of a branch,
6840
replacing ``bzr check --update``.
6842
* Files within store directories are no longer marked readonly on
6845
* Changed ``bzr log`` output to a more compact form suggested by
6846
John A Meinel. Old format is available with the ``--long`` or
6847
``-l`` option, patched by William Dodé.
6849
* By default the commit command refuses to record a revision with
6850
no changes unless the ``--unchanged`` option is given.
6852
* The ``--no-plugins``, ``--profile`` and ``--builtin`` command
6853
line options must come before the command name because they
6854
affect what commands are available; all other options must come
6855
after the command name because their interpretation depends on
6858
* ``branch`` and ``clone`` added as aliases for ``branch``.
6860
* Default log format is back to the long format; the compact one
6861
is available with ``--short``.
6866
* Fix bugs in committing only selected files or within a subdirectory.

bzr-0.0.5 2005-06-15
6870
---------------------
6874
* ``bzr`` with no command now shows help rather than giving an
6875
error. Suggested by Michael Ellerman.
6877
* ``bzr status`` output format changed, because svn-style output
6878
doesn't really match the model of bzr. Now files are grouped by
6879
status and can be shown with their IDs. ``bzr status --all``
6880
shows all versioned files and unknown files but not ignored files.
6882
* ``bzr log`` runs from most-recent to least-recent, the reverse
6883
of the previous order. The previous behaviour can be obtained
6884
with the ``--forward`` option.
6886
* ``bzr inventory`` by default shows only filenames, and also ids
6887
if ``--show-ids`` is given, in which case the id is the second
6893
* New 'bzr whoami --email' option shows only the email component
6894
of the user identification, from Jo Vermeulen.
6896
* New ``bzr ignore PATTERN`` command.
6898
* Nicer error message for broken pipe, interrupt and similar
6899
conditions that don't indicate an internal error.
6901
* Add ``.*.sw[nop] .git .*.tmp *,v`` to default ignore patterns.
6903
* Per-branch locks keyed on ``.bzr/branch-lock``, available in
6904
either read or write mode.
6906
* New option ``bzr log --show-ids`` shows revision and file ids.
6908
* New usage ``bzr log FILENAME`` shows only revisions that
6911
* Changed format for describing changes in ``bzr log -v``.
6913
* New option ``bzr commit --file`` to take a message from a file,
6914
suggested by LarstiQ.
6916
* New syntax ``bzr status [FILE...]`` contributed by Bartosz
6917
Oler. File may be in a branch other than the working directory.
6919
* ``bzr log`` and ``bzr root`` can be given an http URL instead of
6922
* Commands can now be defined by external programs or scripts
6923
in a directory on $BZRPATH.
6925
* New "stat cache" avoids reading the contents of files if they
6926
haven't changed since the previous time.
6928
* If the Python interpreter is too old, try to find a better one
6929
or give an error. Based on a patch from Fredrik Lundh.
6931
* New optional parameter ``bzr info [BRANCH]``.
6933
* New form ``bzr commit SELECTED`` to commit only selected files.
6935
* New form ``bzr log -r FROM:TO`` shows changes in selected
6936
range; contributed by John A Meinel.
6938
* New option ``bzr diff --diff-options 'OPTS'`` allows passing
6939
options through to an external GNU diff.
6941
* New option ``bzr add --no-recurse`` to add a directory but not
6944
* ``bzr --version`` now shows more information if bzr is being run
6950
* Fixed diff format so that added and removed files will be
6951
handled properly by patch. Fix from Lalo Martins.
6953
* Various fixes for files whose names contain spaces or other
6959
* Converted black-box test suites from Bourne shell into Python;
6960
now run using ``./testbzr``. Various structural improvements to
6963
* testbzr by default runs the version of bzr found in the same
6964
directory as the tests, or the one given as the first parameter.
6966
* testbzr also runs the internal tests, so the only command
6967
required to check is just ``./testbzr``.
6969
* testbzr requires python2.4, but can be used to test bzr running
6970
under a different version.
6972
* Tests added for many other changes in this release.
6977
* Included ElementTree library upgraded to 1.2.6 by Fredrik Lundh.
6979
* Refactor command functions into Command objects based on HCT by
6980
Scott James Remnant.
6982
* Better help messages for many commands.
6984
* Expose ``bzrlib.open_tracefile()`` to start the tracefile; until
6985
this is called trace messages are just discarded.
6987
* New internal function ``find_touching_revisions()`` and hidden
6988
command touching-revisions trace the changes to a given file.
6990
* Simpler and faster ``compare_inventories()`` function.
6992
* ``bzrlib.open_tracefile()`` takes a tracefilename parameter.
6994
* New AtomicFile class.
6996
* New developer commands ``added``, ``modified``.
7001
* Cope on Windows on python2.3 by using the weaker random seed.
7002
2.4 is now only recommended.
7005
bzr-0.0.4 2005-04-22
7006
---------------------
7010
* 'bzr diff' optionally takes a list of files to diff. Still a bit
7011
basic. Patch from QuantumG.
7013
* More default ignore patterns.
7015
* New 'bzr log --verbose' shows a list of files changed in the
7016
changeset. Patch from Sebastian Cote.
7018
* Roll over ~/.bzr.log if it gets too large.
7020
* Command abbreviations 'ci', 'st', 'stat', '?' based on a patch
7023
* New 'bzr help commands' based on a patch from Denys Duchier.
7028
* User email is determined by looking at $BZREMAIL or ~/.bzr.email
7029
or $EMAIL. All are decoded by the locale preferred encoding.
7030
If none of these are present user@hostname is used. The host's
7031
fully-qualified name is not used because that tends to fail when
7032
there are DNS problems.
7034
* New 'bzr whoami' command instead of username user-email.
7039
* Make commit safe for hardlinked bzr trees.
7041
* Some Unicode/locale fixes.
7043
* Partial workaround for ``difflib.unified_diff`` not handling
7044
trailing newlines properly.
7049
* Allow docstrings for help to be in PEP0257 format. Patch from
7052
* More tests in test.sh.
7054
* Write profile data to a temporary file not into working
7055
directory and delete it when done.
7057
* Smaller .bzr.log with process ids.
7062
* Fix opening of ~/.bzr.log on Windows. Patch from Andrew
7065
* Some improvements in handling paths on Windows, based on a patch
7069
bzr-0.0.3 2005-04-06
7070
---------------------
7074
* New "directories" internal command lists versioned directories
7077
* Can now say "bzr commit --help".
7079
* New "rename" command to rename one file to a different name
7082
* New "move" command to move one or more files into a different
7085
* New "renames" command lists files renamed since base revision.
7087
* New cat command contributed by janmar.
7091
* .bzr.log is placed in $HOME (not pwd) and is always written in
7092
UTF-8. (Probably not a completely good long-term solution, but
7097
* Workaround for difflib bug in Python 2.3 that causes an
7098
exception when comparing empty files. Reported by Erik Toubro
7103
* Refactored inventory storage to insert a root entry at the top.
7107
* Start of shell-based black-box testing in test.sh.
7115
* Win32 fixes from Steve Brown.
7118
bzr-0.0.2 "black cube" 2005-03-31
7119
-----------------------------------
7123
* Default ignore list extended (see bzrlib/__init__.py).
7125
* Patterns in .bzrignore are now added to the default ignore list,
7126
rather than replacing it.
7128
* Ignore list isn't reread for every file.
7132
* Reinstate the 'bzr check' command to check invariants of the
7135
* New 'ignored' command lists which files are ignored and why;
7136
'deleted' lists files deleted in the current working tree.
7138
* Performance improvements.
7140
* New global --profile option.
7142
* Ignore patterns like './config.h' now correctly match files in
7143
the root directory only.
7146
bzr-0.0.1 2005-03-26
7147
---------------------
7151
* More information from info command.
7153
* Can now say "bzr help COMMAND" for more detailed help.
7155
* Less file flushing and faster performance when writing logs and
7156
committing to stores.
7158
* More useful verbose output from some commands.
7162
* Fix inverted display of 'R' and 'M' during 'commit -v'.
7166
* Include a subset of ElementTree-1.2.20040618 to make
7167
installation easier.
7169
* Fix time.localtime call to work with Python 2.3 (the minimum
