14
* New Branch hook ``transform_fallback_location`` allows a function to
15
be called when looking up the stacked source. (Michael Hudson)
19
* ``bzr dump-btree`` is a hidden command introduced to allow dumping
20
the contents of a compressed btree file. (John Arbash Meinel)
22
* ``bzr pack`` now tells the index builders to optimize for size. For
23
btree index repositories, this can save 25% of the index size
24
(mostly in the text indexes). (John Arbash Meinel)
26
* default username for bzr+ssh and sftp can be configured in
27
authentication.conf. (Aaron Bentley)
29
* launchpad-login now provides a default username for bzr+ssh and sftp
30
URLs, allowing username-free URLs to work for everyone. (Aaron Bentley)
32
* lp: lookups no longer include usernames, making them shareable and
33
shorter. (Aaron Bentley)
37
* A failure to load a plugin due to an IncompatibleAPI exception is
38
now correctly reported. (Robert Collins, #279451)
40
* API versioning support now has a multiple-version checking api
41
``require_any_api``. (Robert Collins, #279447)
43
* ``bzr co`` uses less memory. It used to unpack the entire WT into
44
memory before writing it to disk. This was a little bit faster, but
45
consumed lots of memory. (John Arbash Meinel, #269456)
47
* Fixes to the ``annotate`` code. The fast-path which re-used the
48
stored deltas was accidentally disabled all the time, instead of
49
only when a branch was stacked. Second, the code would accidentally
50
re-use a delta even if it wasn't against the left-parent, this
51
could only happen if ``bzr reconcile`` decided that the parent
52
ordering was incorrect in the file graph. (John Arbash Meinel)
54
* Some compatibility fixes for building the extensions with MSVC and
55
for python2.4. (John Arbash Meinel, #277484)
61
* commands.plugins_cmds is now a CommandRegistry, not a dict.
67
* New AuthenticationConfig.set_credentials method allows easy programmatic
68
configuration of authetication credentials.
76
Bazaar 1.8 includes several fixes that improve working tree performance,
77
display of revision logs, and merges. The bzr testsuite now passes on OS
78
X and Python 2.6, and almost completely passes on Windows. The
79
smartserver code has gained several bug fixes and performance
80
improvements, and can now run server-side hooks within an http server.
84
* Fix "Must end write group" error when another error occurs during
85
``bzr push``. (Andrew Bennetts, #230902)
89
* Some Pyrex versions require the WIN32 macro defined to compile on
90
that platform. (Alexander Belchenko, Martin Pool, #277481)
98
* ``bzr log file`` has been changed. It now uses a different method
99
for determining which revisions to show as merging the changes to
100
the file. It now only shows revisions which merged the change
101
towards your mainline. This simplifies the output, makes it faster,
102
and reduces memory consumption. (John Arbash Meinel)
104
* ``bzr merge`` now defaults to having ``--reprocess`` set, whenever
105
``--show-base`` is not supplied. (John Arbash Meinel)
107
* ``bzr+http//`` will now optionally load plugins and write logs on the
108
server. (Marius Kruger)
110
* ``bzrlib._dirstate_helpers_c.pyx`` does not compile correctly with
111
Pyrex 0.9.4.1 (it generates C code which causes segfaults). We
112
explicitly blacklist that version of the compiler for that
113
extension. Packaged versions will include .c files created with
114
pyrex >= 0.9.6 so it doesn't effect releases, only users running
115
from the source tree. (John Arbash Meinel, #276868)
119
* bzr is now compatible with python-2.6. python-2.6 is not yet officially
120
supported (nor released, tests were conducted with the dev version of
121
python-2.6rc2), but all known problems have been fixed. Feedback
123
(Vincent Ladeuil, #269535)
127
* ``bzr annotate`` will now include uncommitted changes from the local
128
working tree by default. Such uncommitted changes are given the
129
revision number they would get if a commit was done, followed with a
130
? to indicate that its not actually known. (Robert Collins, #3439)
132
* ``bzr branch`` now accepts a ``--standalone`` option, which creates a
133
standalone branch regardless of the presence of shared repositories.
136
* ``bzr push`` is faster in the case there are no new revisions to
137
push. It is also faster if there are no tags in the local branch.
140
* File changes during a commit will update the tree stat cache.
143
* Location aliases can now accept a trailing path. (Micheal Hudson)
145
* New hooks ``Lock.hooks`` when LockDirs are acquired and released.
146
(Robert Collins, MartinPool)
148
* Switching in heavyweight checkouts uses the master branch's context, not
149
the checkout's context. (Adrian Wilkins)
151
* ``status`` on large trees is now faster, due to optimisations in the
152
walkdirs code. Of particular note, the walkdirs code now performs
153
a temporary ``chdir()`` while reading a single directory; if your
154
platform has non thread-local current working directories (and is
155
not windows which has its own implementation), this may introduce a
156
race condition during concurrent uses of bzrlib. The bzrlib CLI
157
will not encounter this as it is single threaded for working tree
158
operations. (Robert Collins)
160
* The C extensions now build on python 2.4 (Robert Collins, #271939)
162
* The ``-Dhpss`` debug flag now reports the number of smart server
163
calls per medium to stderr. This is in addition to the existing
164
detailed logging to the .bzr.log trace file. (Andrew Bennetts)
168
* Avoid random failures arising from misinterpreted ``errno`` values
169
in ``_readdir_pyx.read_dir``.
170
(Martin Pool, #279381)
172
* Branching from a shared repository on a smart server into a new
173
repository now preserves the repository format.
174
(Andrew Bennetts, #269214)
176
* ``bzr log`` now accepts a ``--change`` option.
177
(Vincent Ladeuil, #248427)
179
* ``bzr missing`` now accepts an ``--include-merges`` option.
180
(Vincent Ladeuil, #233817)
182
* Don't try to filter (internally) '.bzr' from the files to be deleted if
184
(Vincent Ladeuil, #272648)
186
* Fix '_in_buffer' AttributeError when using the -Dhpss debug flag.
189
* Fix TooManyConcurrentRequests errors caused by a connection failure
190
when doing ``bzr pull`` or ``bzr merge`` from a ``bzr+ssh`` URL.
191
(Andrew Bennetts, #246233)
193
* Fixed ``bzr st -r branch:PATH_TO_BRANCH`` where the other branch
194
is in a different repository than the current one.
195
(Lukáš Lalinský, #144421)
197
* Make the first line of the manpage preamble a comment again.
198
(David Futcher, #242106)
200
* Remove use of optional parameter in GSSAPI FTP support, since
201
it breaks newer versions of Python-Kerberos. (Jelmer Vernooij)
203
* The autopacking logic will now always create a single new pack from
204
all of the content which it deems is worth moving. This avoids the
205
'repack a single pack' bug and should result in better packing
206
overall. (John Arbash Meinel, #242510, #172644)
208
* Trivial documentation fix.
209
(John Arbash Meinel, #270471)
213
* Explain revision/range identifiers. (Daniel Clemente)
217
* ``CommitBuilder.record_entry_contents`` returns one more element in
218
its result tuple - an optional file system hash for the hash cache
219
to use. (Robert Collins)
221
* ``dirstate.DirState.update_entry`` will now only calculate the sha1
222
of a file if it is likely to be needed in determining the output
223
of iter_changes. (Robert Collins)
225
* The PackRepository, RepositoryPackCollection, NewPack classes have a
226
slightly changed interface to support different index types; as a
227
result other users of these classes need to supply the index types
228
they want. (Robert Collins)
232
* ``bzrlib.tests.repository_implementations`` has been renamed to
233
``bzrlib.tests.per_repository`` so that we have a common structure
234
(and it is shorter). (John Arbash Meinel, #239343)
236
* ``LocalTransport.abspath()`` now returns a drive letter if the
237
transport has one, fixing numerous tests on Windows.
240
* PreviewTree is now tested via intertree_implementations.
243
* The full test suite is passing again on OSX.
244
(Guillermo Gonzalez, Vincent Ladeuil)
246
* The full test suite passes when run with ``-Eallow_debug``.
251
* A new hook, ``Branch.open``, has been added, which is called when
252
branch objects are opened. (Robert Collins)
254
* ``bzrlib.osutils._walkdirs_utf8`` has been refactored into common
255
tree walking, and modular directory listing code to aid future
256
performance optimisations and refactoring. (Robert Collins)
258
* ``bzrlib.trace.debug_memory`` can be used to get a quick memory dump
259
in the middle of processing. It only reports memory if
260
``/proc/PID/status`` is available. (John Arbash Meinel)
262
* New method ``RevisionSpec.as_tree`` for representing the revision
263
specifier as a revision tree object. (Lukáš Lalinský)
265
* New race-free method on MutableTree ``get_file_with_stat`` for use
266
when generating stat cache results. (Robert Collins)
268
* New win32utils.get_local_appdata_location() provides access to a local
269
directory for storing data. (Mark Hammond)
271
* To be compatible with python-2.6 a few new rules should be
272
observed. 'message' attribute can't be used anymore in exception
273
classes, 'sha' and 'md5' modules have been deprecated (use
274
osutils.[md5|sha]), object__init__ and object.__new__ don't accept
282
No changes from 1.7.1rc1.
285
bzr 1.7.1rc1 2008-09-24
286
-----------------------
288
This release just includes an update to how the merge algorithm handles
289
file paths when we encounter complex history.
293
* If we encounter a criss-cross in history, use information from
294
direct Least Common Ancestors to resolve inventory shape (locations
295
of files, adds, deletes, etc). This is similar in concept to using
296
``--lca`` for merging file texts, only applied to paths.
303
This release includes many bug fixes and a few performance and feature
304
improvements. ``bzr rm`` will now scan for missing files and remove them,
305
like how ``bzr add`` scans for unknown files and adds them. A bit more
306
polish has been applied to the stacking code. The b-tree indexing code has
307
been brought in, with an eye on using it in a future repository format.
308
There are only minor installer changes since bzr-1.7rc2.
312
* Some small updates to the win32 installer. Include localization
313
files found in plugins, and include the builtin distutils as part of
314
packaging qbzr. (Mark Hammond)
317
bzr 1.7rc2 2008-09-17
318
---------------------
320
A few bug fixes from 1.7rc1. The biggest change is a new
321
``RemoteBranch.get_stacked_on_url`` rpc. This allows clients that are
322
trying to access a Stacked branch over the smart protocol, to properly
323
connect to the stacked-on location.
327
* Branching from a shared repository on a smart server into a new
328
repository now preserves the repository format.
329
(Andrew Bennetts, #269214)
331
* Branching from a stacked branch via ``bzr+ssh`` can properly connect
332
to the stacked-on branch. (Martin Pool, #261315)
334
* ``bzr init`` no longer re-opens the BzrDir multiple times.
337
* Fix '_in_buffer' AttributeError when using the -Dhpss debug flag.
341
bzr 1.7rc1 2008-09-09
342
---------------------
344
This release candidate for bzr 1.7 has several bug fixes and a few
345
performance and feature improvements. ``bzr rm`` will now scan for
346
missing files and remove them, like how ``bzr add`` scans for unknown
347
files and adds them. A bit more polish has been applied to the stacking
348
code. The b-tree indexing code has been brought in, with an eye on using
349
it in a future repository format.
354
* ``bzr export`` can now export a subdirectory of a project.
357
* ``bzr remove-tree`` will now refuse to remove a tree with uncommitted
358
changes, unless the ``--force`` option is specified.
359
(Lukáš Lalinský, #74101)
361
* ``bzr rm`` will now scan for files that are missing and remove just
362
them automatically, much as ``bzr add`` scans for new files that
363
are not ignored and adds them automatically. (Robert Collins)
367
* Support for GSSAPI authentication when using FTP as documented in
368
RFC2228. (Jelmer Vernooij, #49623)
370
* Add support for IPv6 in the smart server. (Jelmer Vernooij, #165014)
374
* A url like ``log+file:///tmp`` will log all access to that Transport
375
to ``.bzr.log``, which may help in debugging or profiling.
378
* ``bzr branch`` and ``bzr push`` use the default stacking policy if the
379
branch format supports it. (Aaron Bentley)
381
* ``bzr init`` and ``bzr init-repo`` will now print out the same as
382
``bzr info`` if it completed successfully.
385
* ``bzr uncommit`` logs the old tip revision id, and displays how to
386
restore the branch to that tip using ``bzr pull``. This allows you
387
to recover if you realize you uncommitted the wrong thing.
390
* Fix problems in accessing stacked repositories over ``bzr://``.
391
(Martin Pool, #261315)
393
* ``SFTPTransport.readv()`` was accidentally using ``list += string``,
394
which 'works', but adds each character separately to the list,
395
rather than using ``list.append(string)``. Fixing this makes the
396
SFTP transport a little bit faster (~20%) and use a bit less memory.
399
* When reading index files, if we happen to read the whole file in a
400
single request treat it as a ``_buffer_all`` request. This happens
401
most often on small indexes over remote transports, where we default
402
to reading 64kB. It saves a round trip for each small index during
403
fetch operations. Also, if we have read more than 50% of an index
404
file, trigger a ``_buffer_all`` on the next request. This works
405
around some inefficiencies because reads don't fall neatly on page
406
boundaries, so we would ignore those bytes, but request them again
407
later. This could trigger a total read size of more than the whole
408
file. (John Arbash Meinel)
412
* ``bzr rm`` is now aliased to ``bzr del`` for the convenience of svn
413
users. (Robert Collins, #205416)
415
* Catch the infamous "select/poll returned error" which occurs when
416
pycurl try to send a body request to an HTTP/1.0 server which has
417
already refused to handle the request. (Vincent Ladeuil, #225020)
419
* Fix ``ObjectNotLocked`` errors when using various commands
420
(including ``bzr cat`` and ``bzr annotate``) in combination with a
421
smart server URL. (Andrew Bennetts, #237067)
423
* ``FTPTransport.stat()`` would return ``0000`` as the permission bits
424
for the containing ``.bzr/`` directory (it does not implement
425
permissions). This would cause us to set all subdirectories to
426
``0700`` and files to ``0600`` rather than leaving them unmodified.
427
Now we ignore ``0000`` as the permissions and assume they are
428
invalid. (John Arbash Meinel, #259855)
430
* Merging from a previously joined branch will no longer cause
431
a traceback. (Jelmer Vernooij, #203376)
433
* Pack operations on windows network shares will work even with large
434
files. (Robert Collins, #255656)
436
* Running ``bzr st PATH_TO_TREE`` will no longer suppress merge
437
status. Status is also about 7% faster on mozilla sized trees
438
when the path to the root of the tree has been given. Users of
439
the internal ``show_tree_status`` function should be aware that
440
the show_pending flag is now authoritative for showing pending
441
merges, as it was originally. (Robert Collins, #225204)
443
* Set valid default _param_name for Option so that ListOption can embed
444
'-' in names. (Vincent Ladeuil, #263249)
446
* Show proper error rather than traceback when an unknown revision
447
id is specified to ``bzr cat-revision``. (Jelmer Vernooij, #175569)
449
* Trailing text in the dirstate file could cause the C dirstate parser
450
to try to allocate an invalid amount of memory. We now properly
451
check and test for parsing a dirstate with invalid trailing data.
452
(John Arbash Meinel, #186014)
454
* Unexpected error responses from a smart server no longer cause the
455
client to traceback. (Andrew Bennetts, #263527)
457
* Use a Windows api function to get a Unicode host name, rather than
458
assuming the host name is ascii.
459
(Mark Hammond, John Arbash Meinel, #256550)
461
* ``WorkingTree4`` trees will now correctly report missing-and-new
462
paths in the output of ``iter_changes``. (Robert Collins)
466
* Updated developer documentation. (Martin Pool)
470
* Exporters now take 4 parameters. (Robert Collins)
472
* ``Tree.iter_changes`` will now return False for the content change
473
field when a file is missing in the basis tree and not present in
474
the target tree. Previously it returned True unconditionally.
477
* The deprecated ``Branch.abspath`` and unimplemented
478
``Branch.rename_one`` and ``Branch.move`` were removed. (Jelmer Vernooij)
480
* BzrDir.clone_on_transport implementations must now accept a stacked_on
481
parameter. (Aaron Bentley)
483
* BzrDir.cloning_metadir implementations must now take a require_stacking
484
parameter. (Aaron Bentley)
488
* ``addCleanup`` now takes ``*arguments`` and ``**keyword_arguments``
489
which are then passed to the cleanup callable as it is run. In
490
addition, addCleanup no longer requires that the callables passed to
491
it be unique. (Jonathan Lange)
493
* Fix some tests that fail on Windows because files are deleted while
497
* ``selftest``'s ``--starting-with`` option can now use predefined
498
prefixes so that one can say ``bzr selftest -s bp.loom`` instead of
499
``bzr selftest -s bzrlib.plugins.loom``. (Vincent Ladeuil)
501
* ``selftest``'s ``--starting-with`` option now accepts multiple values.
506
* A new plugin interface, ``bzrlib.log.log_adapters``, has been added.
507
This allows dynamic log output filtering by plugins.
510
* ``bzrlib.btree_index`` is now available, providing a b-tree index
511
layer. The design is memory conservative (limited memory cache),
512
faster to seek (approx 100 nodes per page, gives 100-way fan out),
513
and stores compressed pages allowing more keys per page.
514
(Robert Collins, John Arbash Meinel)
516
* ``bzrlib.diff.DiffTree.show_diff`` now skips changes where the kind
517
is unknown in both source and target.
518
(Robert Collins, Aaron Bentley)
520
* ``GraphIndexBuilder.add_node`` and ``BTreeBuilder`` have been
521
streamlined a bit. This should make creating large indexes faster.
522
(In benchmarking, it now takes less time to create a BTree index than
523
it takes to read the GraphIndex one.) (John Arbash Meinel)
525
* Mail clients for `bzr send` are now listed in a registry. This
526
allows plugins to add new clients by registering them with
527
``bzrlib.mail_client.mail_client_registry``. All of the built-in
528
clients now use this mechanism. (Neil Martinsen-Burrell)
534
A couple regressions were found in the 1.6 release. There was a
535
performance issue when using ``bzr+ssh`` to branch large repositories,
536
and some problems with stacking and ``rich-root`` capable repositories.
539
bzr 1.6.1rc2 2008-09-03
540
-----------------------
544
* Copying between ``rich-root`` and ``rich-root-pack`` (and vice
545
versa) was accidentally using the inter-model fetcher, instead of
546
recognizing that both were 'rich root' formats.
547
(John Arbash Meinel, #264321)
550
bzr 1.6.1rc1 2008-08-29
551
-----------------------
553
This release fixes a few regressions found in the 1.6 client. Fetching
554
changes was using an O(N^2) buffering algorithm, so for large projects it
555
would cause memory thrashing. There is also a specific problem with the
556
``--1.6-rich-root`` format, which prevented stacking on top of
557
``--rich-root-pack`` repositories, and could allow users to accidentally
558
fetch experimental data (``-subtree``) without representing it properly.
559
The ``--1.6-rich-root`` format has been deprecated and users are
560
recommended to upgrade to ``--1.6.1-rich-root`` immediately. Also we
561
re-introduced a workaround for users who have repositories with incorrect
562
nodes (not possible if you only used official releases).
563
I should also clarify that none of this is data loss level issues, but
564
still sufficient enough to warrant an updated release.
568
* ``RemoteTransport.readv()`` was being inefficient about how it
569
buffered the readv data and processed it. It would keep appending to
570
the same string (causing many copies) and then pop bytes out of the
571
start of the string (causing more copies).
572
With this patch "bzr+ssh://local" can improve dramatically,
573
especially for projects with large files.
576
* Revision texts were always meant to be stored as fulltexts. There
577
was a bug in a bzr.dev version that would accidentally create deltas
578
when copying from a Pack repo to a Knit repo. This has been fixed,
579
but to support those repositories, we know always request full texts
580
for Revision texts. (John Arbash Meinel, #261339)
582
* The previous ``--1.6-rich-root`` format used an incorrect xml
583
serializer, which would accidentally support fetching from a
584
repository that supported subtrees, even though the local one would
585
not. We deprecated that format, and introduced a new one that uses
586
the correct serializer ``--1.6.1-rich-root``.
587
(John Arbash Meinel, #262333)
593
Finally, the long awaited bzr 1.6 has been released. This release includes
594
new features like Stacked Branches, improved weave merge, and an updated
595
server protocol (now on v3) which will allow for better cross version
596
compatibility. With this release we have deprecated Knit format
597
repositories, and recommend that users upgrade them, we will continue to
598
support reading and writing them for the forseeable future, but we will
599
not be tuning them for performance as pack repositories have proven to be
600
better at scaling. This will also be the first release to bundle
601
TortoiseBzr in the standalone Windows installer.
604
bzr 1.6rc5 2008-08-19
605
---------------------
609
* Disable automatic detection of stacking based on a containing
610
directory of the target. It interacted badly with push, and needs a
611
bit more work to get the edges polished before it should happen
612
automatically. (John Arbash Meinel, #259275)
613
(This change was reverted when merged to bzr.dev)
616
bzr 1.6rc4 2008-08-18
617
---------------------
621
* Fix a regression in knit => pack fetching. We had a logic
622
inversion, causing the fetch to insert fulltexts in random order,
623
rather than preserving deltas. (John Arbash Meinel, #256757)
626
bzr 1.6rc3 2008-08-14
627
---------------------
631
* Disable reading ``.bzrrules`` as a per-branch rule preferences
632
file. The feature was not quite ready for a full release.
637
* Update the windows installer to bundle TortoiseBzr and ``qbzr``
638
into the standalone installer. This will be the first official
639
windows release that installs Tortoise by default.
644
* Fix a regression in ``bzr+http`` support. There was a missing
645
function (``_read_line``) that needed to be carried over from
646
``bzr+ssh`` support. (Andrew Bennetts)
648
* ``GraphIndex`` objects will internally read an entire index if more
649
than 1/20th of their keyspace is requested in a single operation.
650
This largely mitigates a performance regression in ``bzr log FILE``
651
and completely corrects the performance regression in ``bzr log``.
652
The regression was caused by removing an accomodation which had been
653
supporting the index format in use. A newer index format is in
654
development which is substantially faster. (Robert Collins)
657
bzr 1.6rc2 2008-08-13
658
---------------------
660
This release candidate has a few minor bug fixes, and some regression
665
* ``bzr upgrade`` on remote branches accessed via bzr:// and
666
bzr+ssh:// now works. (Andrew Bennetts)
668
* Change the ``get_format_description()`` strings for
669
``RepositoryFormatKnitPack5`` et al to be single line messages.
672
* Fix for a regression on Win32 where we would try to call
673
``os.listdir()`` on a file and not catch the exception properly.
674
(Windows raises a different exception.) This would manifest in
675
places like ``bzr rm file`` or ``bzr switch``.
676
(Mark Hammond, John Arbash Meinel)
678
* ``Inventory.copy()`` was failing to set the revision property for
679
the root entry. (Jelmer Vernooij)
681
* sftp transport: added missing ``FileExists`` case to
682
``_translate_io_exception`` (Christophe Troestler, #123475)
684
* The help for ``bzr ignored`` now suggests ``bzr ls --ignored`` for
685
scripting use. (Robert Collins, #3834)
687
* The default ``annotate`` logic will now always assign the
688
last-modified value of a line to one of the revisions that modified
689
it, rather than a merge revision. This would happen when both sides
690
claimed to have modified the line resulting in the same text. The
691
choice is arbitrary but stable, so merges in different directions
692
will get the same results. (John Arbash Meinel, #232188)
695
bzr 1.6rc1 2008-08-06
696
---------------------
698
This release candidate for bzr 1.6 solidifies the new branch stacking
699
feature. Bazaar now recommends that users upgrade all knit repositories,
700
because later formats are much faster. However, we plan to continue read/write and
701
upgrade support for knit repostories for the forseeable future. Several
702
other bugs and performance issues were fixed.
706
* Knit format repositories are deprecated and bzr will now emit
707
warnings whenever it encounters one. Use ``bzr upgrade`` to upgrade
708
knit repositories to pack format. (Andrew Bennetts)
712
* ``bzr check`` can now be told which elements at a location it should
713
check. (Daniel Watkins)
715
* Commit now supports ``--exclude`` (or ``-x``) to exclude some files
716
from the commit. (Robert Collins, #3117)
718
* Fetching data between repositories that have the same model but no
719
optimised fetcher will not reserialise all the revisions, increasing
720
performance. (Robert Collins, John Arbash Meinel)
722
* Give a more specific error when target branch is not reachable.
725
* Implemented a custom ``walkdirs_utf8`` implementation for win32.
726
This uses a pyrex extension to get direct access to the
727
``FindFirstFileW`` style apis, rather than using ``listdir`` +
728
``lstat``. Shows a very strong improvement in commands like
729
``status`` and ``diff`` which have to iterate the working tree.
730
Anywhere from 2x-6x faster depending on the size of the tree (bigger
731
trees, bigger benefit.) (John Arbash Meinel)
733
* New registry for log properties handles and the method in
734
LongLogFormatter to display the custom properties returned by the
735
registered handlers. (Guillermo Gonzalez, #162469)
739
* Add more tests that stacking does not create deltas spanning
740
physical repository boundaries.
741
(Martin Pool, #252428)
743
* Better message about incompatible repositories.
744
(Martin Pool, #206258)
746
* ``bzr branch --stacked`` ensures the destination branch format can
747
support stacking, even if the origin does not.
750
* ``bzr export`` no longer exports ``.bzrrules``.
753
* ``bzr serve --directory=/`` now correctly allows the whole
754
filesystem to be accessed on Windows, not just the root of the drive
755
that Python is running from.
756
(Adrian Wilkins, #240910)
758
* Deleting directories by hand before running ``bzr rm`` will not
759
cause subsequent errors in ``bzr st`` and ``bzr commit``.
760
(Robert Collins, #150438)
762
* Fix a test case that was failing if encoding wasn't UTF-8.
763
(John Arbash Meinel, #247585)
765
* Fix "no buffer space available" error when branching with the new
766
smart server protocol to or from Windows.
767
(Andrew Bennetts, #246180)
769
* Fixed problem in branching from smart server.
770
(#249256, Michael Hudson, Martin Pool)
772
* Handle a file turning in to a directory in TreeTransform.
773
(James Westby, #248448)
777
* ``MutableTree.commit`` has an extra optional keywork parameter
778
``exclude`` that will be unconditionally supplied by the command
779
line UI - plugins that add tree formats may need an update.
782
* The API minimum version for plugin compatibility has been raised to
783
1.6 - there are significant changes throughout the code base.
786
* The generic fetch code now uses three attributes on Repository objects
787
to control fetch. The streams requested are controlled via :
788
``_fetch_order`` and ``_fetch_uses_deltas``. Setting these
789
appropriately allows different repository implementations to recieve
790
data in their optimial form. If the ``_fetch_reconcile`` is set then
791
a reconcile operation is triggered at the end of the fetch.
794
* The ``put_on_disk`` and ``get_tar_item`` methods in
795
``InventoryEntry`` were deprecated. (Ian Clatworthy)
797
* ``Repository.is_shared`` doesn't take a read lock. It didn't
798
need one in the first place (nobody cached the value, and
799
``RemoteRepository`` wasn't taking one either). This saves a round
800
trip when probing Pack repositories, as they read the ``pack-names``
801
file when locked. And during probe, locking the repo isn't very
802
useful. (John Arbash Meinel)
806
* ``bzrlib.branchbuilder.BranchBuilder`` is now much more capable of
807
putting together a real history without having to create a full
808
WorkingTree. It is recommended that tests that are not directly
809
testing the WorkingTree use BranchBuilder instead. See
810
``BranchBuilder.build_snapshot`` or
811
``TestCaseWithMemoryTree.make_branch_builder``. (John Arbash Meinel)
813
* ``bzrlib.builtins.internal_tree_files`` broken into two giving a new
814
helper ``safe_relpath_files`` - used by the new ``exclude``
815
parameter to commit. (Robert Collins)
817
* Make it easier to introduce new WorkingTree formats.
820
* The code for exporting trees was refactored not to use the
821
deprecated ``InventoryEntry`` methods. (Ian Clatworthy)
823
* RuleSearchers return () instead of [] now when there are no matches.
827
bzr 1.6beta3 2008-07-17
828
-----------------------
830
This release adds a new 'stacked branches' feature allowing branches to
831
share storage without being in the same repository or on the same machine.
832
(See the user guide for more details.) It also adds a new hook, improved
833
weaves, aliases for related locations, faster bzr+ssh push, and several
838
* New ``pre_change_branch_tip`` hook that is called before the
839
branch tip is moved, while the branch is write-locked. See the User
840
Reference for signature details. (Andrew Bennetts)
842
* Rule-based preferences can now be defined for selected files in
843
selected branches, allowing commands and plugins to provide
844
custom behaviour for files matching defined patterns.
845
See ``Rule-based preferences`` (part of ``Configuring Bazaar``)
846
in the User Guide and ``bzr help rules`` for more information.
849
* Sites may suggest a branch to stack new branches on. (Aaron Bentley)
851
* Stacked branches are now supported. See ``bzr help branch`` and
852
``bzr help push``. Branches must be in the ``development1`` format
853
to stack, though the stacked-on branch can be of any format.
858
* ``bzr export --format=tgz --root=NAME -`` to export a gzipped tarball
859
to stdout; also ``tar`` and ``tbz2``.
862
* ``bzr (re)merge --weave`` will now use a standard Weave algorithm,
863
rather than the annotation-based merge it was using. It does so by
864
building up a Weave of the important texts, without needing to build
865
the full ancestry. (John Arbash Meinel, #238895)
867
* ``bzr send`` documents and better supports ``emacsclient`` (proper
868
escaping of mail headers and handling of the MUA Mew).
869
(Christophe Troestler)
871
* Remembered locations can be specified by aliases, e.g. :parent, :public,
872
:submit. (Aaron Bentley)
874
* The smart protocol now has improved support for setting branches'
875
revision info directly. This makes operations like push
876
faster. The new request method name is
877
``Branch.set_last_revision_ex``. (Andrew Bennetts)
881
* Bazaar is now able to be a client to the web server of IIS 6 and 7.
882
The broken implementations of RFC822 in Python and RFC2046 in IIS
883
combined with boundary-line checking in Bazaar previously made this
884
impossible. (NB, IIS 5 does not suffer from this problem).
885
(Adrian Wilkins, #247585)
887
* ``bzr log --long`` with a ghost in your mainline now handles that
888
ghost properly. (John Arbash Meinel, #243536)
890
* ``check`` handles the split-up .bzr layout correctly, so no longer
891
requires a branch to be present.
892
(Daniel Watkins, #64783)
894
* Clearer message about how to set the PYTHONPATH if bzrlib can't be
896
(Martin Pool, #205230)
898
* Errors about missing libraries are now shown without a traceback,
899
and with a suggestion to install the library. The full traceback is
900
still in ``.bzr.log`` and can be shown with ``-Derror``.
901
(Martin Pool, #240161)
903
* Fetch from a stacked branch copies all required data.
904
(Aaron Bentley, #248506)
906
* Handle urls such as ftp://user@host.com@www.host.com where the user
908
(Neil Martinsen-Burrell, #228058)
910
* ``needs_read_lock`` and ``needs_write_lock`` now suppress an error during
911
``unlock`` if there was an error in the original function. This helps
912
most when there is a failure with a smart server action, since often the
913
connection closes and we cannot unlock.
914
(Andrew Bennetts, John Arbash Meinel, #125784)
916
* Obsolete hidden command ``bzr fetch`` removed.
917
(Martin Pool, #172870)
919
* Raise the correct exception when doing ``-rbefore:0`` or ``-c0``.
920
(John Arbash Meinel, #239933)
922
* You can now compare file revisions in Windows diff programs from
924
(Matt McClure, #209281)
926
* revision_history now tolerates mainline ghosts for Branch format 6.
927
(Aaron Bentley, #235055)
929
* Set locale from environment for third party libs.
930
(Martin von Gagern, #128496)
934
* Added *Using stacked branches* to the User Guide.
937
* Updated developer documentation.
942
* ``-Dmemory`` will cause /proc/PID/status to be catted before bzr
943
exits, allowing low-key analysis of peak memory use. (Robert Collins)
945
* ``TestCaseWithTransport.make_branch_and_tree`` tries harder to return
946
a tree with a ``branch`` attribute of the right format. This was
947
preventing some ``RemoteBranch`` tests from actually running with
948
``RemoteBranch`` instances. (Andrew Bennetts)
952
* Removed ``Repository.text_store``, ``control_store``, etc. Instead,
953
there are new attributes ``texts, inventories, revisions,
954
signatures``, each of which is a ``VersionedFiles``. See the
955
Repository docstring for more details.
958
* ``Branch.pull`` now accepts an ``_override_hook_target`` optional
959
parameter. If you have a subclass of ``Branch`` that overrides
960
``pull`` then you should add this parameter. (Andrew Bennetts)
962
* ``bzrlib.check.check()`` has been deprecated in favour of the more
963
aptly-named ``bzrlib.check.check_branch()``.
966
* ``Tree.print_file`` and ``Repository.print_file`` are deprecated.
967
These methods are bad APIs because they write directly to sys.stdout.
968
bzrlib does not use them internally, and there are no direct tests
969
for them. (Alexander Belchenko)
973
* ``cat`` command no longer uses ``Tree.print_file()`` internally.
974
(Alexander Belchenko)
976
* New class method ``BzrDir.open_containing_tree_branch_or_repository``
977
which eases the discovery of the tree, the branch and the repository
978
containing a given location.
981
* New ``versionedfile.KeyMapper`` interface to abstract out the access to
982
underlying .knit/.kndx etc files in repositories with partitioned
983
storage. (Robert Collins)
985
* Obsolete developer-use command ``weave-join`` has been removed.
988
* ``RemoteToOtherFetcher`` and ``get_data_stream_for_search`` removed,
989
to support new ``VersionedFiles`` layering.
993
bzr 1.6beta2 2008-06-10
994
-----------------------
996
This release contains further progress towards our 1.6 goals of shallow
997
repositories, and contains a fix for some user-affecting bugs in the
998
repository layer. Building working trees during checkout and branch is
1003
* Avoid KnitCorrupt error extracting inventories from some repositories.
1004
(The data is not corrupt; an internal check is detecting a problem
1005
reading from the repository.)
1006
(Martin Pool, Andrew Bennetts, Robert Collins, #234748)
1008
* ``bzr status`` was breaking if you merged the same revision twice.
1009
(John Arbash Meinel, #235407)
1011
* Fix infinite loop consuming 100% CPU when a connection is lost while
1012
reading a response body via the smart protocol v1 or v2.
1015
* Inserting a bundle which changes the contents of a file with no trailing
1016
end of line, causing a knit snapshot in a 'knits' repository will no longer
1017
cause KnitCorrupt. (Robert Collins)
1019
* ``RemoteBranch.pull`` needs to return the ``self._real_branch``'s
1020
pull result. It was instead just returning None, which breaks ``bzr
1021
pull``. (John Arbash Meinel, #238149)
1023
* Sanitize branch nick before using it as an attachment filename in
1024
``bzr send``. (Lukáš Lalinský, #210218)
1026
* Squash ``inv_entry.symlink_target`` to a plain string when
1027
generating DirState details. This prevents from getting a
1028
``UnicodeError`` when you have symlinks and non-ascii filenames.
1029
(John Arbash Meinel, #135320)
1033
* Added the 'alias' command to set/unset and display aliases. (Tim Penhey)
1035
* ``added``, ``modified``, and ``unknowns`` behaviour made consistent (all three
1036
now quote paths where required). Added ``--null`` option to ``added`` and
1037
``modified`` (for null-separated unknowns, use ``ls --unknown --null``)
1040
* Faster branching (1.09x) and lightweight checkouts (1.06x) on large trees.
1041
(Ian Clatworthy, Aaron Bentley)
1045
* Added *Bazaar Zen* section to the User Guide. (Ian Clatworthy)
1049
* Fix the test HTTPServer to be isolated from chdir calls made while it is
1050
running, allowing it to be used in blackbox tests. (Robert Collins)
1054
* ``WorkingTree.set_parent_(ids/trees)`` will now filter out revisions
1055
which are in the ancestry of other revisions. So if you merge the same
1056
tree twice, or merge an ancestor of an existing merge, it will only
1057
record the newest. (If you merge a descendent, it will replace its
1058
ancestor). (John Arbash Meinel, #235407)
1060
* ``RepositoryPolicy.__init__`` now requires stack_on and stack_on_pwd,
1061
through the derived classes do not. (Aaron Bentley)
1065
* ``bzrlib.bzrdir.BzrDir.sprout`` now accepts ``stacked`` to control
1066
creating stacked branches. (Robert Collins)
1068
* Knit record serialisation is now stricter on what it will accept, to
1069
guard against potential internal bugs, or broken input. (Robert Collins)
1072
bzr 1.6beta1 2008-06-02
1073
-----------------------
1076
Commands that work on the revision history such as push, pull, missing,
1077
uncommit and log are now substantially faster. This release adds a
1078
translation of some of the user documentation into Spanish. (Contributions of
1079
other translations would be very welcome.) Bazaar 1.6beta1 adds a new network
1080
protocol which is used by default and which allows for more efficient transfers
1081
and future extensions.
1084
NOTES WHEN UPGRADING:
1086
* There is a new version of the network protocol used for bzr://, bzr+ssh://
1087
and bzr+http:// connections. This will allow more efficient requests and
1088
responses, and more graceful fallback when a server is too old to
1089
recognise a request from a more recent client. Bazaar 1.6 will
1090
interoperate with 0.16 and later versions, but servers should be upgraded
1091
when possible. Bazaar 1.6 no longer interoperates with 0.15 and earlier via
1092
these protocols. Use alternatives like SFTP or upgrade those servers.
1093
(Andrew Bennetts, #83935)
1097
* Deprecation warnings will not be suppressed when running ``bzr selftest``
1098
so that developers can see if their code is using deprecated functions.
1099
(John Arbash Meinel)
1103
* Adding ``-Derror`` will now display a traceback when a plugin fails to
1104
load. (James Westby)
1108
* ``bzr branch/push/pull -r XXX`` now have a helper function for finding
1109
the revno of the new revision (``Graph.find_distance_to_null``). This
1110
should make something like ``bzr branch -r -100`` in a shared, no-trees
1111
repository much snappier. (John Arbash Meinel)
1113
* ``bzr log --short -r X..Y`` no longer needs to access the full revision
1114
history. This makes it noticeably faster when logging the last few
1115
revisions. (John Arbash Meinel)
1117
* ``bzr ls`` now accepts ``-V`` as an alias for ``--versioned``.
1118
(Jerad Cramp, #165086)
1120
* ``bzr missing`` uses the new ``Graph.find_unique_ancestors`` and
1121
``Graph.find_differences`` to determine missing revisions without having
1122
to search the whole ancestry. (John Arbash Meinel, #174625)
1124
* ``bzr uncommit`` now uses partial history access, rather than always
1125
extracting the full revision history for a branch. This makes it
1126
resolve the appropriate revisions much faster (in testing it drops
1127
uncommit from 1.5s => 0.4s). It also means ``bzr log --short`` is one
1128
step closer to not using full revision history.
1129
(John Arbash Meinel, #172649)
1133
* ``bzr merge --lca`` should handle when two revisions have no common
1134
ancestor other than NULL_REVISION. (John Arbash Meinel, #235715)
1136
* ``bzr status`` was breaking if you merged the same revision twice.
1137
(John Arbash Meinel, #235407)
1139
* ``bzr push`` with both ``--overwrite`` and ``-r NNN`` options no longer
1140
fails. (Andrew Bennetts, #234229)
1142
* Correctly track the base URL of a smart medium when using bzr+http://
1143
URLs, which was causing spurious "No repository present" errors with
1144
branches in shared repositories accessed over bzr+http.
1145
(Andrew Bennetts, #230550)
1147
* Define ``_remote_is_at_least_1_2`` on ``SmartClientMedium`` so that all
1148
implementations have the attribute. Fixes 'PyCurlTransport' object has no
1149
attribute '_remote_is_at_least_1_2' attribute errors.
1150
(Andrew Bennetts, #220806)
1152
* Failure to delete an obsolete pack file should just give a warning
1153
message, not a fatal error. It may for example fail if the file is still
1154
in use by another process.
1157
* Fix MemoryError during large fetches over HTTP by limiting the amount of
1158
data we try to read per ``recv`` call. The problem was observed with
1159
Windows and a proxy, but might affect other environments as well.
1160
(Eric Holmberg, #215426)
1162
* Handle old merge directives correctly in Merger.from_mergeable. Stricter
1163
get_parent_map requirements exposed a latent bug here. (Aaron Bentley)
1165
* Issue a warning and ignore passwords declared in authentication.conf when
1166
used for an ssh scheme (sftp or bzr+ssh).
1167
(Vincent Ladeuil, #203186)
1169
* Make both http implementations raise appropriate exceptions on 403
1170
Forbidden when POSTing smart requests.
1171
(Vincent Ladeuil, #230223)
1173
* Properly *title* header names in http requests instead of capitalizing
1175
(Vincent Ladeuil, #229076)
1177
* The "Unable to obtain lock" error message now also suggests using
1178
``bzr break-lock`` to fix it. (Martin Albisetti, #139202)
1180
* Treat an encoding of '' as ascii; this can happen when bzr is run
1181
under vim on Mac OS X.
1182
(Neil Martinsen-Burrell)
1184
* ``VersionedFile.make_mpdiffs()`` was raising an exception that wasn't in
1185
scope. (Daniel Fischer #235687)
1189
* Added directory structure and started translation of docs in spanish.
1190
(Martin Albisetti, Lucio Albenga)
1192
* Incorporate feedback from Jelmer Vernooij and Neil Martinsen-Burrell
1193
on the plugin and integration chapters of the User Guide.
1196
* More Bazaar developer documentation about packaging and release process,
1197
and about use of Python reprs.
1198
(Martin Pool, Martin Albisetti)
1200
* Updated Tortise strategy document. (Mark Hammond)
1204
* ``bzrlib.tests.adapt_tests`` was broken and unused - it has been fixed.
1207
* Fix the test HTTPServer to be isolated from chdir calls made while it is
1208
running, allowing it to be used in blackbox tests. (Robert Collins)
1210
* New helper function for splitting test suites
1211
``split_suite_by_condition``. (Robert Collins)
1215
* ``Branch.missing_revisions`` has been deprecated. Similar functionality
1216
can be obtained using ``bzrlib.missing.find_unmerged``. The api was
1217
fairly broken, and the function was unused, so we are getting rid of it.
1218
(John Arbash Meinel)
1222
* ``Branch.abspath`` is deprecated; use the Tree or Transport
1223
instead. (Martin Pool)
1225
* ``Branch.update_revisions`` now takes an optional ``Graph``
1226
object. This can be used by ``update_revisions`` when it is
1227
checking ancestry, and allows callers to prefer request to go to a
1228
local branch. (John Arbash Meinel)
1230
* Branch, Repository, Tree and BzrDir should expose a Transport as an
1231
attribute if they have one, rather than having it indirectly accessible
1232
as ``.control_files._transport``. This doesn't add a requirement
1233
to support a Transport in cases where it was not needed before;
1234
it just simplifies the way it is reached. (Martin Pool)
1236
* ``bzr missing --mine-only`` will return status code 0 if you have no
1237
new revisions, but the remote does. Similarly for ``--theirs-only``.
1238
The new code only checks one side, so it doesn't know if the other
1239
side has changes. This seems more accurate with the request anyway.
1240
It also changes the output to print '[This|Other] branch is up to
1241
date.' rather than displaying nothing. (John Arbash Meinel)
1243
* ``LockableFiles.put_utf8``, ``put_bytes`` and ``controlfilename``
1244
are now deprecated in favor of using Transport operations.
1247
* Many methods on ``VersionedFile``, ``Repository`` and in
1248
``bzrlib.revision`` deprecated before bzrlib 1.5 have been removed.
1251
* ``RevisionSpec.wants_revision_history`` can be set to False for a given
1252
``RevisionSpec``. This will disable the existing behavior of passing in
1253
the full revision history to ``self._match_on``. Useful for specs that
1254
don't actually need access to the full history. (John Arbash Meinel)
1256
* The constructors of ``SmartClientMedium`` and its subclasses now require a
1257
``base`` parameter. ``SmartClientMedium`` implementations now also need
1258
to provide a ``remote_path_from_transport`` method. (Andrew Bennetts)
1260
* The default permissions for creating new files and directories
1261
should now be obtained from ``BzrDir._get_file_mode()`` and
1262
``_get_dir_mode()``, rather than from LockableFiles. The ``_set_file_mode``
1263
and ``_set_dir_mode`` variables on LockableFiles which were advertised
1264
as a way for plugins to control this are no longer consulted.
1267
* ``VersionedFile.join`` is deprecated. This method required local
1268
instances of both versioned file objects and was thus hostile to being
1269
used for streaming from a smart server. The new get_record_stream and
1270
insert_record_stream are meant to efficiently replace this method.
1273
* ``WorkingTree.set_parent_(ids/trees)`` will now filter out revisions
1274
which are in the ancestry of other revisions. So if you merge the same
1275
tree twice, or merge an ancestor of an existing merge, it will only
1276
record the newest. (If you merge a descendent, it will replace its
1277
ancestor). (John Arbash Meinel, #235407)
1279
* ``WorkingTreeFormat2.stub_initialize_remote`` is now private.
1286
This release of Bazaar includes several updates to the documentation, and fixes
1287
to prepare for making rich root support the default format. Many bugs have been
1288
squashed, including fixes to log, bzr+ssh inter-operation with older servers.
1292
* Suppress deprecation warnings when bzrlib is a 'final' release. This way
1293
users of packaged software won't be bothered with DeprecationWarnings,
1294
but developers and testers will still see them. (John Arbash Meinel)
1298
* Incorporate feedback from Jelmer Vernooij and Neil Martinsen-Burrell
1299
on the plugin and integration chapters of the User Guide.
1303
bzr 1.5rc1 2008-05-09
1304
---------------------
1306
NOTES WHEN UPGRADING:
1310
* Broader support of GNU Emacs mail clients. Set
1311
``mail_client=emacsclient`` in your bazaar.conf and ``send`` will pop the
1312
bundle in a mail buffer according to the value of ``mail-user-agent``
1313
variable. (Xavier Maillard)
1319
* Diff now handles revision specs like "branch:" and "submit:" more
1320
efficiently. (Aaron Bentley, #202928)
1322
* More friendly error given when attempt to start the smart server
1323
on an address already in use. (Andrea Corbellini, #200575)
1325
* Pull completes much faster when there is nothing to pull.
1330
* Authentication.conf can define sections without password.
1331
(Vincent Ladeuil, #199440)
1333
* Avoid muttering every time a child update does not cause a progress bar
1334
update. (John Arbash Meinel, #213771)
1336
* ``Branch.reconcile()`` is now implemented. This allows ``bzr reconcile``
1337
to fix when a Branch has a non-canonical mainline history. ``bzr check``
1338
also detects this condition. (John Arbash Meinel, #177855)
1340
* ``bzr log -r ..X bzr://`` was failing, because it was getting a request
1341
for ``revision_id=None`` which was not a string.
1342
(John Arbash Meinel, #211661)
1344
* ``bzr commit`` now works with Microsoft's FTP service.
1347
* Catch definitions outside sections in authentication.conf.
1348
(Vincent Ladeuil, #217650)
1350
* Conversion from non-rich-root to rich-root(-pack) updates inventory
1351
sha1s, even when bundles are used. (Aaron Bentley, #181391)
1353
* Conversion from non-rich-root to rich-root(-pack) works correctly even
1354
though search keys are not topologically sorted. (Aaron Bentley)
1356
* Conversion from non-rich-root to rich-root(-pack) works even when a
1357
parent revision has a different root id. (Aaron Bentley, #177874)
1359
* Disable strace testing until strace is fixed (see bug #103133) and emit a
1360
warning when selftest ends to remind us of leaking tests.
1361
(Vincent Ladeuil, #226769)
1363
* Fetching all revisions from a repository does not cause pack collisions.
1364
(Robert Collins, Aaron Bentley, #212908)
1366
* Fix error about "attempt to add line-delta in non-delta knit".
1367
(Andrew Bennetts, #217701)
1369
* Pushing a branch in "dirstate" format (Branch5) over bzr+ssh would break
1370
if the remote server was < version 1.2. This was due to a bug in the
1371
RemoteRepository.get_parent_map() fallback code.
1372
(John Arbash Meinel, #214894)
1374
* Remove leftover code in ``bzr_branch`` that inappropriately creates
1375
a ``branch-name`` file in the branch control directory.
1378
* Set SO_REUSEADDR on server sockets of ``bzr serve`` to avoid problems
1379
rebinding the socket when starting the server a second time.
1380
(John Arbash Meinel, Martin Pool, #164288)
1382
* Severe performance degradation in fetching from knit repositories to
1383
knits and packs due to parsing the entire revisions.kndx on every graph
1384
walk iteration fixed by using the Repository.get_graph API. There was
1385
another regression in knit => knit fetching which re-read the index for
1386
every revision each side had in common.
1387
(Robert Collins, John Arbash Meinel)
1389
* When logging the changes to a particular file, there was a bug if there
1390
were ghosts in the revision ancestry. (John Arbash Meinel, #209948)
1392
* xs4all's ftp server returns a temporary error when trying to list an
1393
empty directory, rather than returning an empty list. Adding a
1394
workaround so that we don't get spurious failures.
1395
(John Arbash Meinel, #215522)
1399
* Expanded the User Guide to include new chapters on popular plugins and
1400
integrating Bazaar into your environment. The *Best practices* chapter
1401
was renamed to *Miscellaneous topics* as suggested by community
1402
feedback as well. (Ian Clatworthy)
1404
* Document outlining strategies for TortoiseBzr. (Mark Hammond)
1406
* Improved the documentation on hooks. (Ian Clatworthy)
1408
* Update authentication docs regarding ssh agents.
1409
(Vincent Ladeuil, #183705)
1413
* Add ``thread_name_suffix`` parameter to SmartTCPServer_for_testing, to
1414
make it easy to identify which test spawned a thread with an unhandled
1415
exception. (Andrew Bennetts)
1417
* New ``--debugflag``/``-E`` option to ``bzr selftest`` for setting
1418
options for debugging tests, these are complementary to the the -D
1419
options. The ``-Dselftest_debug`` global option has been replaced by the
1420
``-E=allow_debug`` option for selftest. (Andrew Bennetts)
1422
* Parameterised test ids are preserved correctly to aid diagnosis of test
1423
failures. (Robert Collins, Andrew Bennetts)
1425
* selftest now accepts --starting-with <id> to load only the tests whose id
1426
starts with the one specified. This greatly speeds up running the test
1427
suite on a limited set of tests and can be used to run the tests for a
1428
single module, a single class or even a single test. (Vincent Ladeuil)
1430
* The test suite modules have been modified to define load_tests() instead
1431
of test_suite(). That speeds up selective loading (via --load-list)
1432
significantly and provides many examples on how to migrate (grep for
1433
load_tests). (Vincent Ladeuil)
1437
* ``Hooks.install_hook`` is now deprecated in favour of
1438
``Hooks.install_named_hook`` which adds a required ``name`` parameter, to
1439
avoid having to call ``Hooks.name_hook``. (Daniel Watkins)
1441
* Implement xml8 serializer. (Aaron Bentley)
1443
* New form ``@deprecated_method(deprecated_in(1, 5, 0))`` for making
1444
deprecation wrappers. (Martin Pool)
1446
* ``Repository.revision_parents`` is now deprecated in favour of
1447
``Repository.get_parent_map([revid])[revid]``. (Jelmer Vernooij)
1449
* The Python ``assert`` statement is no longer used in Bazaar source, and
1450
a test checks this. (Martin Pool)
1454
* ``bzrlib.status.show_pending_merges`` requires the repository to be
1455
locked by the caller. Callers should have been doing it anyway, but it
1456
will now raise an exception if they do not. (John Arbash Meinel)
1458
* Repository.get_data_stream, Repository.get_data_stream_for_search(),
1459
Repository.get_deltas_for_revsions(), Repository.revision_trees(),
1460
Repository.item_keys_introduced_by() no longer take read locks.
1463
* ``LockableFiles.get_utf8`` and ``.get`` are deprecated, as a start
1464
towards removing LockableFiles and ``.control_files`` entirely.
1467
* Methods deprecated prior to 1.1 have been removed.
1474
This release of Bazaar includes handy improvements to the speed of log and
1475
status, new options for several commands, improved documentation, and better
1476
hooks, including initial code for server-side hooks. A number of bugs have
1477
been fixed, particularly in interoperability between different formats or
1478
different releases of Bazaar over there network. There's been substantial
1479
internal work in both the repository and network code to enable new features
1480
and faster performance.
1484
* Pushing a branch in "dirstate" format (Branch5) over bzr+ssh would break
1485
if the remote server was < version 1.2. This was due to a bug in the
1486
RemoteRepository.get_parent_map() fallback code.
1487
(John Arbash Meinel, Andrew Bennetts, #214894)
1490
bzr 1.4rc2 2008-04-21
1491
---------------------
1495
* ``bzr log -r ..X bzr://`` was failing, because it was getting a request
1496
for ``revision_id=None`` which was not a string.
1497
(John Arbash Meinel, #211661)
1499
* Fixed a bug in handling ghost revisions when logging changes in a
1500
particular file. (John Arbash Meinel, #209948)
1502
* Fix error about "attempt to add line-delta in non-delta knit".
1503
(Andrew Bennetts, #205156)
1505
* Fixed performance degradation in fetching from knit repositories to
1506
knits and packs due to parsing the entire revisions.kndx on every graph
1507
walk iteration fixed by using the Repository.get_graph API. There was
1508
another regression in knit => knit fetching which re-read the index for
1509
every revision each side had in common.
1510
(Robert Collins, John Arbash Meinel)
1513
bzr 1.4rc1 2008-04-11
1514
---------------------
1518
* bzr main script cannot be imported (Benjamin Peterson)
1520
* On Linux bzr additionally looks for plugins in arch-independent site
1521
directory. (Toshio Kuratomi)
1523
* The ``set_rh`` branch hook is now deprecated. Please migrate
1524
any plugins using this hook to use an alternative, e.g.
1525
``post_change_branch_tip``. (Ian Clatworthy)
1527
* When a plugin cannot be loaded as the file path is not a valid
1528
python module name bzr will now strip a ``bzr_`` prefix from the
1529
front of the suggested name, as many plugins (e.g. bzr-svn)
1530
want to be installed without this prefix. It is a common mistake
1531
to have a folder named "bzr-svn" for that plugin, especially
1532
as this is what bzr branch lp:bzr-svn will give you. (James Westby,
1535
* UniqueIntegerBugTracker now appends bug-ids instead of joining
1536
them to the base URL. Plugins that register bug trackers may
1537
need a trailing / added to the base URL if one is not already there.
1538
(James Wesby, Andrew Cowie)
1542
* Added start_commit hook for mutable trees. (Jelmer Vernooij, #186422)
1544
* ``status`` now accepts ``--no-pending`` to show the status without
1545
listing pending merges, which speeds up the command a lot on large
1546
histories. (James Westby, #202830)
1548
* New ``post_change_branch_tip`` hook that is called after the
1549
branch tip is moved but while the branch is still write-locked.
1550
See the User Reference for signature details.
1551
(Ian Clatworthy, James Henstridge)
1553
* Reconfigure can convert a branch to be standalone or to use a shared
1554
repository. (Aaron Bentley)
1558
* The smart protocol now has support for setting branches' revision info
1559
directly. This should make operations like push slightly faster, and is a
1560
step towards server-side hooks. The new request method name is
1561
``Branch.set_last_revision_info``. (Andrew Bennetts)
1563
* ``bzr commit --fixes`` now recognises "gnome" as a tag by default.
1564
(James Westby, Andrew Cowie)
1566
* ``bzr switch`` will attempt to find branches to switch to relative to the
1567
current branch. E.g. ``bzr switch branchname`` will look for
1568
``current_branch/../branchname``. (Robert Collins, Jelmer Vernooij,
1571
* Diff is now more specific about execute-bit changes it describes
1574
* Fetching data over HTTP is a bit faster when urllib is used. This is done
1575
by forcing it to recv 64k at a time when reading lines in HTTP headers,
1576
rather than just 1 byte at a time. (Andrew Bennetts)
1578
* Log --short and --line are much faster when -r is not specified.
1581
* Merge is faster. We no longer check a file's existence unnecessarily
1582
when merging the execute bit. (Aaron Bentley)
1584
* ``bzr status`` on an explicit list of files no longer shows pending
1585
merges, making it much faster on large trees. (John Arbash Meinel)
1587
* The launchpad directory service now warns the user if they have not set
1588
their launchpad login and are trying to resolve a URL using it, just
1589
in case they want to do a write operation with it. (James Westby)
1591
* The smart protocol client is slightly faster, because it now only queries
1592
the server for the protocol version once per connection. Also, the HTTP
1593
transport will now automatically probe for and use a smart server if
1594
one is present. You can use the new ``nosmart+`` transport decorator
1595
to get the old behaviour. (Andrew Bennetts)
1597
* The ``version`` command takes a ``--short`` option to print just the
1598
version number, for easier use in scripts. (Martin Pool)
1600
* Various operations with revision specs and commands that calculate
1601
revnos and revision ids are faster. (John A. Meinel, Aaron Bentley)
1605
* Add ``root_client_path`` parameter to SmartWSGIApp and
1606
SmartServerRequest. This makes it possible to publish filesystem
1607
locations that don't exactly match URL paths. SmartServerRequest
1608
subclasses should use the new ``translate_client_path`` and
1609
``transport_from_client_path`` methods when dealing with paths received
1610
from a client to take this into account. (Andrew Bennetts, #124089)
1612
* ``bzr mv a b`` can be now used also to rename previously renamed
1613
directories, not only files. (Lukáš Lalinský, #107967)
1615
* ``bzr uncommit --local`` can now remove revisions from the local
1616
branch to be symmetric with ``bzr commit --local``.
1617
(John Arbash Meinel, #93412)
1619
* Don't ask for a password if there is no real terminal.
1620
(Alexander Belchenko, #69851)
1622
* Fix a bug causing a ValueError crash in ``parse_line_delta_iter`` when
1623
fetching revisions from a knit to pack repository or vice versa using
1624
bzr:// (including over http or ssh).
1625
(#208418, Andrew Bennetts, Martin Pool, Robert Collins)
1627
* Fixed ``_get_line`` in ``bzrlib.smart.medium``, which was buggy. Also
1628
fixed ``_get_bytes`` in the same module to use the push back buffer.
1629
These bugs had no known impact in normal use, but were problematic for
1630
developers working on the code, and were likely to cause real bugs sooner
1631
or later. (Andrew Bennetts)
1633
* Implement handling of basename parameter for DefaultMail. (James Westby)
1635
* Incompatibility with Paramiko versions newer than 1.7.2 was fixed.
1636
(Andrew Bennetts, #213425)
1638
* Launchpad locations (lp: URLs) can be pulled. (Aaron Bentley, #181945)
1640
* Merges that add files to deleted root directories complete. They
1641
do create conflicts. (Aaron Bentley, #210092)
1643
* vsftp's return ``550 RNFR command failed.`` supported.
1644
(Marcus Trautwig, #129786)
1648
* Improved documentation on send/merge relationship. (Peter Schuller)
1650
* Minor fixes to the User Guide. (Matthew Fuller)
1652
* Reduced the evangelism in the User Guide. (Ian Clatworthy)
1654
* Added Integrating with Bazaar document for developers (Martin Albisetti)
1658
* Attempting to pull data from a ghost aware repository (e.g. knits) into a
1659
non-ghost aware repository such as weaves will now fail if there are
1660
ghosts. (Robert Collins)
1662
* ``KnitVersionedFile`` no longer accepts an ``access_mode`` parameter, and
1663
now requires the ``index`` and ``access_method`` parameters to be
1664
supplied. A compatible shim has been kept in the new function
1665
``knit.make_file_knit``. (Robert Collins)
1667
* Log formatters must now provide log_revision instead of show and
1668
show_merge_revno methods. The latter had been deprecated since the 0.17
1669
release. (James Westby)
1671
* ``LoopbackSFTP`` is now called ``SocketAsChannelAdapter``.
1674
* ``osutils.backup_file`` is removed. (Alexander Belchenko)
1676
* ``Repository.get_revision_graph`` is deprecated, with no replacement
1677
method. The method was size(history) and not desirable. (Robert Collins)
1679
* ``revision.revision_graph`` is deprecated, with no replacement function.
1680
The function was size(history) and not desirable. (Robert Collins)
1682
* ``Transport.get_shared_medium`` is deprecated. Use
1683
``Transport.get_smart_medium`` instead. (Andrew Bennetts)
1685
* ``VersionedFile`` factories now accept a get_scope parameter rather
1686
than using a call to ``transaction_finished``, allowing the removal of
1687
the fixed list of versioned files per repository. (Robert Collins)
1689
* ``VersionedFile.annotate_iter`` is deprecated. While in principle this
1690
allowed lower memory use, all users of annotations wanted full file
1691
annotations, and there is no storage format suitable for incremental
1692
line-by-line annotation. (Robert Collins)
1694
* ``VersionedFile.clone_text`` is deprecated. This performance optimisation
1695
is no longer used - reading the content of a file that is undergoing a
1696
file level merge to identical state on two branches is rare enough, and
1697
not expensive enough to special case. (Robert Collins)
1699
* ``VersionedFile.clear_cache`` and ``enable_cache`` are deprecated.
1700
These methods added significant complexity to the ``VersionedFile``
1701
implementation, but were only used for optimising fetches from knits -
1702
which can be done from outside the knit layer, or via a caching
1703
decorator. As knits are not the default format, the complexity is no
1704
longer worth paying. (Robert Collins)
1706
* ``VersionedFile.create_empty`` is removed. This method presupposed a
1707
sensible mapping to a transport for individual files, but pack backed
1708
versioned files have no such mapping. (Robert Collins)
1710
* ``VersionedFile.get_graph`` is deprecated, with no replacement method.
1711
The method was size(history) and not desirable. (Robert Collins)
1713
* ``VersionedFile.get_graph_with_ghosts`` is deprecated, with no
1714
replacement method. The method was size(history) and not desirable.
1717
* ``VersionedFile.get_parents`` is deprecated, please use
1718
``VersionedFile.get_parent_map``. (Robert Collins)
1720
* ``VersionedFile.get_sha1`` is deprecated, please use
1721
``VersionedFile.get_sha1s``. (Robert Collins)
1723
* ``VersionedFile.has_ghost`` is now deprecated, as it is both expensive
1724
and unused outside of a single test. (Robert Collins)
1726
* ``VersionedFile.iter_parents`` is now deprecated in favour of
1727
``get_parent_map`` which can be used to instantiate a Graph on a
1728
VersionedFile. (Robert Collins)
1730
* ``VersionedFileStore`` no longer uses the transaction parameter given
1731
to most methods; amongst other things this means that the
1732
get_weave_or_empty method no longer guarantees errors on a missing weave
1733
in a readonly transaction, and no longer caches versioned file instances
1734
which reduces memory pressure (but requires more careful management by
1735
callers to preserve performance). (Robert Collins)
1739
* New -Dselftest_debug flag disables clearing of the debug flags during
1740
tests. This is useful if you want to use e.g. -Dhpss to help debug a
1741
failing test. Be aware that using this feature is likely to cause
1742
spurious test failures if used with the full suite. (Andrew Bennetts)
1744
* selftest --load-list now uses a new more agressive test loader that will
1745
avoid loading unneeded modules and building their tests. Plugins can use
1746
this new loader by defining a load_tests function instead of a test_suite
1747
function. (a forthcoming patch will provide many examples on how to
1751
* selftest --load-list now does some sanity checks regarding duplicate test
1752
IDs and tests present in the list but not found in the actual test suite.
1755
* Slightly more concise format for the selftest progress bar, so there's
1756
more space to show the test name. (Martin Pool) ::
1758
[2500/10884, 1fail, 3miss in 1m29s] test_revisionnamespaces.TestRev
1760
* The test suite takes much less memory to run, and is a bit faster. This
1761
is done by clearing most attributes of TestCases after running them, if
1762
they succeeded. (Andrew Bennetts)
1766
* Added ``_build_client_protocol`` to ``_SmartClient``. (Andrew Bennetts)
1768
* Added basic infrastructure for automatic plugin suggestion.
1771
* If a ``LockableFiles`` object is not explicitly unlocked (for example
1772
because of a missing ``try/finally`` block, it will give a warning but
1773
not automatically unlock itself. (Previously they did.) This
1774
sometimes caused knock-on errors if for example the network connection
1775
had already failed, and should not be relied upon by code.
1776
(Martin Pool, #109520)
1778
* ``make dist`` target to build a release tarball, and also
1779
``check-dist-tarball`` and ``dist-upload-escudero``. (Martin Pool)
1781
* The ``read_response_tuple`` method of ``SmartClientRequestProtocol*``
1782
classes will now raise ``UnknownSmartMethod`` when appropriate, so that
1783
callers don't need to try distinguish unknown request errors from other
1784
errors. (Andrew Bennetts)
1786
* ``set_make_working_trees`` is now implemented provided on all repository
1787
implementations (Aaron Bentley)
1789
* ``VersionedFile`` now has a new method ``get_parent_map`` which, like
1790
``Graph.get_parent_map`` returns a dict of key:parents. (Robert Collins)
1793
bzr 1.3.1 2008-04-09
1794
--------------------
1796
No changes from 1.3.1rc1.
1799
bzr 1.3rc1 2008-04-04
1800
---------------------
1804
* Fix a bug causing a ValueError crash in ``parse_line_delta_iter`` when
1805
fetching revisions from a knit to pack repository or vice versa using
1806
bzr:// (including over http or ssh).
1807
(#208418, Andrew Bennetts, Martin Pool, Robert Collins)
1813
Bazaar has become part of the GNU project <http://www.gnu.org>
1815
Many operations that act on history, including ``log`` and ``annotate`` are now
1816
substantially faster. Several bugs have been fixed and several new options and
1817
features have been added.
1821
* Avoid spurious failure of ``TestVersion.test_version`` matching
1823
(#202778, Martin Pool)
1826
bzr 1.3rc1 2008-03-16
1827
---------------------
1829
NOTES WHEN UPGRADING:
1831
* The backup directory created by ``upgrade`` is now called
1832
``backup.bzr``, not ``.bzr.backup``. (Martin Albisetti)
1836
* A new repository format 'development' has been added. This format will
1837
represent the latest 'in-progress' format that the bzr developers are
1838
interested in getting early-adopter testing and feedback on.
1839
``doc/developers/development-repo.txt`` has detailed information.
1842
* BZR_LOG environment variable controls location of .bzr.log trace file.
1843
User can suppress writing messages to .bzr.log by using '/dev/null'
1844
filename (on Linux) or 'NUL' (on Windows). If BZR_LOG variable
1845
is not defined but BZR_HOME is defined then default location
1846
for .bzr.log trace file is ``$BZR_HOME/.bzr.log``.
1847
(Alexander Belchenko)
1849
* ``launchpad`` builtin plugin now shipped as separate part in standalone
1850
bzr.exe, installed to ``C:\Program Files\Bazaar\plugins`` directory,
1851
and standalone installer allows user to skip installation of this plugin.
1852
(Alexander Belchenko)
1854
* Restore auto-detection of plink.exe on Windows. (Dmitry Vasiliev)
1856
* Version number is now shown as "1.2" or "1.2pr2", without zeroed or
1857
missing final fields. (Martin Pool)
1861
* ``branch`` and ``checkout`` can hard-link working tree files, which is
1862
faster and saves space. (Aaron Bentley)
1864
* ``bzr send`` will now also look at the ``child_submit_to`` setting in
1865
the submit branch to determine the email address to send to.
1870
* BzrBranch._lefthand_history is faster on pack repos. (Aaron Bentley)
1872
* Branch6.generate_revision_history is faster. (Aaron Bentley)
1874
* Directory services can now be registered, allowing special URLs to be
1875
dereferenced into real URLs. This is a generalization and cleanup of
1876
the lp: transport lookup. (Aaron Bentley)
1878
* Merge directives that are automatically attached to emails have nicer
1879
filenames, based on branch-nick + revno. (Aaron Bentley)
1881
* ``push`` has a ``--revision`` option, to specify what revision to push up
1882
to. (Daniel Watkins)
1884
* Significantly reducing execution time and network traffic for trivial
1885
case of running ``bzr missing`` command for two identical branches.
1886
(Alexander Belchenko)
1888
* Speed up operations that look at the revision graph (such as 'bzr log').
1889
``KnitPackRepositor.get_revision_graph`` uses ``Graph.iter_ancestry`` to
1890
extract the revision history. This allows filtering ghosts while
1891
stepping instead of needing to peek ahead. (John Arbash Meinel)
1893
* The ``hooks`` command lists installed hooks, to assist in debugging.
1896
* Updates to how ``annotate`` work. Should see a measurable improvement in
1897
performance and memory consumption for file with a lot of merges.
1898
Also, correctly handle when a line is introduced by both parents (it
1899
should be attributed to the first merge which notices this, and not
1900
to all subsequent merges.) (John Arbash Meinel)
1904
* Autopacking no longer holds the full set of inventory lines in
1905
memory while copying. For large repositories, this can amount to
1906
hundreds of MB of ram consumption.
1907
(Ian Clatworthy, John Arbash Meinel)
1909
* Cherrypicking when using ``--format=merge3`` now explictly excludes
1910
BASE lines. (John Arbash Meinel, #151731)
1912
* Disable plink's interactive prompt for password.
1913
(#107593, Dmitry Vasiliev)
1915
* Encode command line arguments from unicode to user_encoding before
1916
invoking external mail client in `bzr send` command.
1917
(#139318, Alexander Belchenko)
1919
* Fixed problem connecting to ``bzr+https://`` servers.
1920
(#198793, John Ferlito)
1922
* Improved error reporting in the Launchpad plugin. (Daniel Watkins,
1925
* Include quick-start-summary.svg file to python-based installer(s)
1926
for Windows. (#192924, Alexander Belchenko)
1928
* lca merge now respects specified files. (Aaron Bentley)
1930
* Make version-info --custom imply --all. (#195560, James Westby)
1932
* ``merge --preview`` now works for merges that add or modify
1933
symlinks (James Henstridge)
1935
* Redirecting the output from ``bzr merge`` (when the remembered
1936
location is used) now works. (John Arbash Meinel)
1938
* setup.py script explicitly checks for Python version.
1939
(Jari Aalto, Alexander Belchenko, #200569)
1941
* UnknownFormatErrors no longer refer to branches regardless of kind of
1942
unknown format. (Daniel Watkins, #173980)
1944
* Upgrade bundled ConfigObj to version 4.5.2, which properly quotes #
1945
signs, among other small improvements. (Matt Nordhoff, #86838)
1947
* Use correct indices when emitting LCA conflicts. This fixes IndexError
1948
errors. (Aaron Bentley, #196780)
1952
* Explained how to use ``version-info --custom`` in the User Guide.
1953
(Neil Martinsen-Burrell)
1957
* Support for loading plugins from zip files and
1958
``bzrlib.plugin.load_from_zip()`` function are deprecated.
1959
(Alexander Belchenko)
1963
* Added missing blackbox tests for ``modified`` (Adrian Wilkins)
1965
* The branch interface tests were invalid for branches using rich-root
1966
repositories because the empty string is not a valid file-id.
1971
* ``Graph.iter_ancestry`` returns the ancestry of revision ids. Similar to
1972
``Repository.get_revision_graph()`` except it includes ghosts and you can
1973
stop part-way through. (John Arbash Meinel)
1975
* New module ``tools/package_mf.py`` provide custom module finder for
1976
python packages (improves standard python library's modulefinder.py)
1977
used by ``setup.py`` script while building standalone bzr.exe.
1978
(Alexander Belchenko)
1980
* New remote method ``RemoteBzrDir.find_repositoryV2`` adding support for
1981
detecting external lookup support on remote repositories. This method is
1982
now attempted first when lookup up repositories, leading to an extra
1983
round trip on older bzr smart servers. (Robert Collins)
1985
* Repository formats have a new supported-feature attribute
1986
``supports_external_lookups`` used to indicate repositories which support
1987
falling back to other repositories when they have partial data.
1990
* ``Repository.get_revision_graph_with_ghosts`` and
1991
``bzrlib.revision.(common_ancestor,MultipleRevisionSources,common_graph)``
1992
have been deprecated. (John Arbash Meinel)
1994
* ``Tree.iter_changes`` is now a public API, replacing the work-in-progress
1995
``Tree._iter_changes``. The api is now considered stable and ready for
1996
external users. (Aaron Bentley)
1998
* The bzrdir format registry now accepts an ``alias`` keyword to
1999
register_metadir, used to indicate that a format name is an alias for
2000
some other format and thus should not be reported when describing the
2001
format. (Robert Collins)
2009
* Fix failing test in Launchpad plugin. (Martin Pool)
2012
bzr 1.2rc1 2008-02-13
2013
---------------------
2015
NOTES WHEN UPGRADING:
2017
* Fetching via the smart protocol may need to reconnect once during a fetch
2018
if the remote server is running Bazaar 1.1 or earlier, because the client
2019
attempts to use more efficient requests that confuse older servers. You
2020
may be required to re-enter a password or passphrase when this happens.
2021
This won't happen if the server is upgraded to Bazaar 1.2.
2026
* Fetching via bzr+ssh will no longer fill ghosts by default (this is
2027
consistent with pack-0.92 fetching over SFTP). (Robert Collins)
2029
* Formatting of ``bzr plugins`` output is changed to be more human-
2030
friendly. Full path of plugins locations will be shown only with
2031
``--verbose`` command-line option. (Alexander Belchenko)
2033
* ``merge`` now prefers to use the submit branch, but will fall back to
2034
parent branch. For many users, this has no effect. But some users who
2035
pull and merge on the same branch will notice a change. This change
2036
makes it easier to work on a branch on two different machines, pulling
2037
between the machines, while merging from the upstream.
2038
``merge --remember`` can now be used to set the submit_branch.
2043
* ``merge --preview`` produces a diff of the changes merge would make,
2044
but does not actually perform the merge. (Aaron Bentley)
2046
* New smart method ``Repository.get_parent_map`` for getting revision
2047
parent data. This returns additional parent information topologically
2048
adjacent to the requested data to reduce round trip latency impacts.
2051
* New smart method, ``Repository.stream_revisions_chunked``, for fetching
2052
revision data that streams revision data via a chunked encoding. This
2053
avoids buffering large amounts of revision data on the server and on the
2054
client, and sends less data to the server to request the revisions.
2055
(Andrew Bennetts, Robert Collins, #178353)
2057
* The launchpad plugin now handles lp urls of the form
2058
``lp://staging/``, ``lp://demo/``, ``lp://dev/`` to use the appropriate
2059
launchpad instance to do the resolution of the branch identities.
2060
This is primarily of use to Launchpad developers, but can also
2061
be used by other users who want to try out Launchpad as
2062
a branch location without messing up their public Launchpad
2063
account. Branches that are pushed to the staging environment
2064
have an expected lifetime of one day. (Tim Penhey)
2068
* Creating a new branch no longer tries to read the entire revision-history
2069
unnecessarily over smart server operations. (Robert Collins)
2071
* Fetching between different repository formats with compatible models now
2072
takes advantage of the smart method to stream revisions. (Andrew Bennetts)
2074
* The ``--coverage`` option is now global, rather specific to ``bzr
2075
selftest``. (Andrew Bennetts)
2077
* The ``register-branch`` command will now use the public url of the branch
2078
containing the current directory, if one has been set and no explicit
2079
branch is provided. (Robert Collins)
2081
* Tweak the ``reannotate`` code path to optimize the 2-parent case.
2082
Speeds up ``bzr annotate`` with a pack repository by approx 3:2.
2083
(John Arbash Meinel)
2087
* Calculate remote path relative to the shared medium in _SmartClient. This
2088
is related to the problem in bug #124089. (Andrew Bennetts)
2090
* Cleanly handle connection errors in smart protocol version two, the same
2091
way as they are handled by version one. (Andrew Bennetts)
2093
* Clearer error when ``version-info --custom`` is used without
2094
``--template`` (Lukáš Lalinský)
2096
* Don't raise UnavailableFeature during test setup when medusa is not
2097
available or tearDown is never called leading to nasty side effects.
2098
(#137823, Vincent Ladeuil)
2100
* If a plugin's test suite cannot be loaded, for example because of a syntax
2101
error in the tests, then ``selftest`` fails, rather than just printing
2102
a warning. (Martin Pool, #189771)
2104
* List possible values for BZR_SSH environment variable in env-variables
2105
help topic. (Alexander Belchenko, #181842)
2107
* New methods ``push_log_file`` and ``pop_log_file`` to intercept messages:
2108
popping the log redirection now precisely restores the previous state,
2109
which makes it easier to use bzr log output from other programs.
2110
TestCaseInTempDir no longer depends on a log redirection being established
2111
by the test framework, which lets bzr tests cleanly run from a normal
2113
(#124153, #124849, Martin Pool, Jonathan Lange)
2115
* ``pull --quiet`` is now more quiet, in particular a message is no longer
2116
printed when the remembered pull location is used. (James Westby,
2119
* ``reconfigure`` can safely be interrupted while fetching.
2120
(Aaron Bentley, #179316)
2122
* ``reconfigure`` preserves tags when converting to and from lightweight
2123
checkouts. (Aaron Bentley, #182040)
2125
* Stop polluting /tmp when running selftest.
2126
(Vincent Ladeuil, #123623)
2128
* Switch from NFKC => NFC for normalization checks. NFC allows a few
2129
more characters which should be considered valid.
2130
(John Arbash Meinel, #185458)
2132
* The launchpad plugin now uses the ``edge`` xmlrpc server to avoid
2133
interacting badly with a bug on the launchpad side. (Robert Collins)
2135
* Unknown hostnames when connecting to a ``bzr://`` URL no longer cause
2136
tracebacks. (Andrew Bennetts, #182849)
2140
* Classes implementing Merge types like Merge3Merger must now accept (and
2141
honour) a do_merge flag in their constructor. (Aaron Bentley)
2143
* ``Repository.add_inventory`` and ``add_revision`` now require the caller
2144
to previously take a write lock (and start a write group.)
2149
* selftest now accepts --load-list <file> to load a test id list. This
2150
speeds up running the test suite on a limited set of tests.
2155
* Add a new method ``get_result`` to graph search objects. The resulting
2156
``SearchResult`` can be used to recreate the search later, which will
2157
be useful in reducing network traffic. (Robert Collins)
2159
* Use convenience function to check whether two repository handles
2160
are referring to the same repository in ``Repository.get_graph``.
2161
(Jelmer Vernooij, #187162)
2163
* Fetching now passes the find_ghosts flag through to the
2164
``InterRepository.missing_revision_ids`` call consistently for all
2165
repository types. This will enable faster missing revision discovery with
2166
bzr+ssh. (Robert Collins)
2168
* Fix error handling in Repository.insert_data_stream. (Lukas Lalinsky)
2170
* ``InterRepository.missing_revision_ids`` is now deprecated in favour of
2171
``InterRepository.search_missing_revision_ids`` which returns a
2172
``bzrlib.graph.SearchResult`` suitable for making requests from the smart
2173
server. (Robert Collins)
2175
* New error ``NoPublicBranch`` for commands that need a public branch to
2176
operate. (Robert Collins)
2178
* New method ``iter_inventories`` on Repository for access to many
2179
inventories. This is primarily used by the ``revision_trees`` method, as
2180
direct access to inventories is discouraged. (Robert Collins)
2182
* New method ``next_with_ghosts`` on the Graph breadth-first-search objects
2183
which will split out ghosts and present parents into two separate sets,
2184
useful for code which needs to be aware of ghosts (e.g. fetching data
2185
cares about ghosts during revision selection). (Robert Collins)
2187
* Record a timestamp against each mutter to the trace file, relative to the
2188
first import of bzrlib. (Andrew Bennetts)
2190
* ``Repository.get_data_stream`` is now deprecated in favour of
2191
``Repository.get_data_stream_for_search`` which allows less network
2192
traffic when requesting data streams over a smart server. (Robert Collins)
2194
* ``RemoteBzrDir._get_tree_branch`` no longer triggers ``_ensure_real``,
2195
removing one round trip on many network operations. (Robert Collins)
2197
* RemoteTransport's ``recommended_page_size`` method now returns 64k, like
2198
SFTPTransport and HttpTransportBase. (Andrew Bennetts)
2200
* Repository has a new method ``has_revisions`` which signals the presence
2201
of many revisions by returning a set of the revisions listed which are
2202
present. This can be done by index queries without reading data for parent
2203
revision names etc. (Robert Collins)
2209
(no changes from 1.1rc1)
2211
bzr 1.1rc1 2008-01-05
2212
---------------------
2216
* Dotted revision numbers have been revised. Instead of growing longer with
2217
nested branches the branch number just increases. (eg instead of 1.1.1.1.1
2218
we now report 1.2.1.) This helps scale long lived branches which have many
2219
feature branches merged between them. (John Arbash Meinel)
2221
* The syntax ``bzr diff branch1 branch2`` is no longer supported.
2222
Use ``bzr diff branch1 --new branch2`` instead. This change has
2223
been made to remove the ambiguity where ``branch2`` is in fact a
2224
specific file to diff within ``branch1``.
2228
* New option to use custom template-based formats in ``bzr version-info``.
2231
* diff '--using' allows an external diff tool to be used for files.
2234
* New "lca" merge-type for fast everyday merging that also supports
2235
criss-cross merges. (Aaron Bentley)
2239
* ``annotate`` now doesn't require a working tree. (Lukáš Lalinský,
2242
* ``branch`` and ``checkout`` can now use files from a working tree to
2243
to speed up the process. For checkout, this requires the new
2244
--files-from flag. (Aaron Bentley)
2246
* ``bzr diff`` now sorts files in alphabetical order. (Aaron Bentley)
2248
* ``bzr diff`` now works on branches without working trees. Tree-less
2249
branches can also be compared to each other and to working trees using
2250
the new diff options ``--old`` and ``--new``. Diffing between branches,
2251
with or without trees, now supports specific file filtering as well.
2252
(Ian Clatworthy, #6700)
2254
* ``bzr pack`` now orders revision texts in topological order, with newest
2255
at the start of the file, promoting linear reads for ``bzr log`` and the
2256
like. This partially fixes #154129. (Robert Collins)
2258
* Merge directives now fetch prerequisites from the target branch if
2259
needed. (Aaron Bentley)
2261
* pycurl now handles digest authentication.
2264
* ``reconfigure`` can now convert from repositories. (Aaron Bentley)
2266
* ``-l`` is now a short form for ``--limit`` in ``log``. (Matt Nordhoff)
2268
* ``merge`` now warns when merge directives cause cherrypicks.
2271
* ``split`` now supported, to enable splitting large trees into smaller
2272
pieces. (Aaron Bentley)
2276
* Avoid AttributeError when unlocking a pack repository when an error occurs.
2277
(Martin Pool, #180208)
2279
* Better handle short reads when processing multiple range requests.
2280
(Vincent Ladeuil, #179368)
2282
* build_tree acceleration uses the correct path when a file has been moved.
2285
* ``commit`` now succeeds when a checkout and its master branch share a
2286
repository. (Aaron Bentley, #177592)
2288
* Fixed error reporting of unsupported timezone format in
2289
``log --timezone``. (Lukáš Lalinský, #178722)
2291
* Fixed Unicode encoding error in ``ignored`` when the output is
2292
redirected to a pipe. (Lukáš Lalinský)
2294
* Fix traceback when sending large response bodies over the smart protocol
2295
on Windows. (Andrew Bennetts, #115781)
2297
* Fix ``urlutils.relative_url`` for the case of two ``file:///`` URLs
2298
pointed to different logical drives on Windows.
2299
(Alexander Belchenko, #90847)
2301
* HTTP test servers are now compatible with the http protocol version 1.1.
2302
(Vincent Ladeuil, #175524)
2304
* _KnitParentsProvider.get_parent_map now handles requests for ghosts
2305
correctly, instead of erroring or attributing incorrect parents to ghosts.
2308
* ``merge --weave --uncommitted`` now works. (Aaron Bentley)
2310
* pycurl authentication handling was broken and incomplete. Fix handling of
2311
user:pass embedded in the urls.
2312
(Vincent Ladeuil, #177643)
2314
* Files inside non-directories are now handled like other conflict types.
2315
(Aaron Bentley, #177390)
2317
* ``reconfigure`` is able to convert trees into lightweight checkouts.
2320
* Reduce lockdir timeout to 0 when running ``bzr serve``. (Andrew Bennetts,
2323
* Test that the old ``version_info_format`` functions still work, even
2324
though they are deprecated. (John Arbash Meinel, ShenMaq, #177872)
2326
* Transform failures no longer cause ImmortalLimbo errors (Aaron Bentley,
2329
* ``uncommit`` works even when the commit messages of revisions to be
2330
removed use characters not supported in the terminal encoding.
2333
* When dumb http servers return whole files instead of the requested ranges,
2334
read the remaining bytes by chunks to avoid overflowing network buffers.
2335
(Vincent Ladeuil, #175886)
2339
* Minor tweaks made to the bug tracker integration documentation.
2342
* Reference material has now be moved out of the User Guide and added
2343
to the User Reference. The User Reference has gained 4 sections as
2344
a result: Authenication Settings, Configuration Settings, Conflicts
2345
and Hooks. All help topics are now dumped into text format in the
2346
doc/en/user-reference directory for those who like browsing that
2347
information in their editor. (Ian Clatworthy)
2349
* *Using Bazaar with Launchpad* tutorial added. (Ian Clatworthy)
2353
* find_* methods available for BzrDirs, Branches and WorkingTrees.
2356
* Help topics can now be loaded from files.
2357
(Ian Clatworthy, Alexander Belchenko)
2359
* get_parent_map now always provides tuples as its output. (Aaron Bentley)
2361
* Parent Providers should now implement ``get_parent_map`` returning a
2362
dictionary instead of ``get_parents`` returning a list.
2363
``Graph.get_parents`` is now deprecated. (John Arbash Meinel,
2366
* Patience Diff now supports arbitrary python objects, as long as they
2367
support ``hash()``. (John Arbash Meinel)
2369
* Reduce selftest overhead to establish test names by memoization.
2376
* Modules can now customise their tests by defining a ``load_tests``
2377
attribute. ``pydoc bzrlib.tests.TestUtil.TestLoader.loadTestsFromModule``
2378
for the documentation on this attribute. (Robert Collins)
2380
* New helper function ``bzrlib.tests.condition_id_re`` which helps
2381
filter tests based on a regular expression search on the tests id.
2384
* New helper function ``bzrlib.tests.condition_isinstance`` which helps
2385
filter tests based on class. (Robert Collins)
2387
* New helper function ``bzrlib.tests.exclude_suite_by_condition`` which
2388
generalises the ``exclude_suite_by_re`` function. (Robert Collins)
2390
* New helper function ``bzrlib.tests.filter_suite_by_condition`` which
2391
generalises the ``filter_suite_by_re`` function. (Robert Collins)
2393
* New helper method ``bzrlib.tests.exclude_tests_by_re`` which gives a new
2394
TestSuite that does not contain tests from the input that matched a
2395
regular expression. (Robert Collins)
2397
* New helper method ``bzrlib.tests.randomize_suite`` which returns a
2398
randomized copy of the input suite. (Robert Collins)
2400
* New helper method ``bzrlib.tests.split_suite_by_re`` which splits a test
2401
suite into two according to a regular expression. (Robert Collins)
2403
* Parametrize all http tests for the transport implementations, the http
2404
protocol versions (1.0 and 1.1) and the authentication schemes.
2407
* The ``exclude_pattern`` and ``random_order`` parameters to the function
2408
``bzrlib.tests.filter_suite_by_re`` have been deprecated. (Robert Collins)
2410
* The method ``bzrlib.tests.sort_suite_by_re`` has been deprecated. It is
2411
replaced by the new helper methods added in this release. (Robert Collins)
2419
* More improvements and fixes to the User Guide. (Ian Clatworthy)
2421
* Add information on cherrypicking/rebasing to the User Guide.
2424
* Improve bug tracker integration documentation. (Ian Clatworthy)
2426
* Minor edits to ``Bazaar in five minutes`` from David Roberts and
2427
to the rebasing section of the User Guide from Aaron Bentley.
2431
bzr 1.0rc3 2007-12-11
2432
---------------------
2436
* If a traceback occurs, users are now asked to report the bug
2437
through Launchpad (https://bugs.launchpad.net/bzr/), rather than
2438
by mail to the mailing list.
2443
* Fix Makefile rules for doc generation. (Ian Clatworthy, #175207)
2445
* Give more feedback during long http downloads by making readv deliver data
2446
as it arrives for urllib, and issue more requests for pycurl. High latency
2447
networks are better handled by urllib, the pycurl implementation give more
2448
feedback but also incur more latency.
2449
(Vincent Ladeuil, #173010)
2451
* Implement _make_parents_provider on RemoteRepository, allowing generating
2452
bundles against branches on a smart server. (Andrew Bennetts, #147836)
2456
* Improved user guide. (Ian Clatworthy)
2458
* The single-page quick reference guide is now available as a PDF.
2463
* readv urllib http implementation is now a real iterator above the
2464
underlying socket and deliver data as soon as it arrives. 'get' still
2465
wraps its output in a StringIO.
2469
bzr 1.0rc2 2007-12-07
2470
---------------------
2474
* Added a --coverage option to selftest. (Andrew Bennetts)
2476
* Annotate merge (merge-type=weave) now supports cherrypicking.
2479
* ``bzr commit`` now doesn't print the revision number twice. (Matt
2482
* New configuration option ``bugtracker_<tracker_abbrevation>_url`` to
2483
define locations of bug trackers that are not directly supported by
2484
bzr or a plugin. The URL will be treated as a template and ``{id}``
2485
placeholders will be replaced by specific bug IDs. (Lukáš Lalinský)
2487
* Support logging single merge revisions with short and line log formatters.
2490
* User Guide enhanced with suggested readability improvements from
2491
Matt Revell and corrections from John Arbash Meinel. (Ian Clatworthy)
2493
* Quick Start Guide renamed to Quick Start Card, moved down in
2494
the catalog, provided in pdf and png format and updated to refer
2495
to ``send`` instead of ``bundle``. (Ian Clatworthy, #165080)
2497
* ``switch`` can now be used on heavyweight checkouts as well as
2498
lightweight ones. After switching a heavyweight checkout, the
2499
local branch is a mirror/cache of the new bound branch and
2500
uncommitted changes in the working tree are merged. As a safety
2501
check, if there are local commits in a checkout which have not
2502
been committed to the previously bound branch, then ``switch``
2503
fails unless the ``--force`` option is given. This option is
2504
now also required if the branch a lightweight checkout is pointing
2505
to has been moved. (Ian Clatworthy)
2509
* New -Dhttp debug option reports http connections, requests and responses.
2512
* New -Dmerge debug option, which emits merge plans for merge-type=weave.
2516
* Better error message when running ``bzr cat`` on a non-existant branch.
2517
(Lukáš Lalinský, #133782)
2519
* Catch OSError 17 (file exists) in final phase of tree transform and show
2521
(Alexander Belchenko, #111758)
2523
* Catch ShortReadvErrors while using pycurl. Also make readv more robust by
2524
allowing multiple GET requests to be issued if too many ranges are
2526
(Vincent Ladeuil, #172701)
2528
* Check for missing basis texts when fetching from packs to packs.
2529
(John Arbash Meinel, #165290)
2531
* Fall back to showing e-mail in ``log --short/--line`` if the
2532
committer/author has only e-mail. (Lukáš Lalinský, #157026)
2536
* Deprecate not passing a ``location`` argument to commit reporters'
2537
``started`` methods. (Matt Nordhoff)
2540
bzr 1.0rc1 2007-11-30
2541
---------------------
2543
NOTES WHEN UPGRADING:
2545
* The default repository format is now ``pack-0.92``. This
2546
default is used when creating new repositories with ``init`` and
2547
``init-repo``, and when branching over bzr+ssh or bzr+hpss.
2548
(See https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/164626)
2550
This format can be read and written by Bazaar 0.92 and later, and
2551
data can be transferred to and from older formats.
2553
To upgrade, please reconcile your repository (``bzr reconcile``), and then
2554
upgrade (``bzr upgrade``).
2556
``pack-0.92`` offers substantially better scaling and performance than the
2557
previous knits format. Some operations are slower where the code already
2558
had bad scaling characteristics under knits, the pack format makes such
2559
operations more visible as part of being more scalable overall. We will
2560
correct such operations over the coming releases and encourage the filing
2561
of bugs on any operation which you observe to be slower in a packs
2562
repository. One particular case that we do not intend to fix is pulling
2563
data from a pack repository into a knit repository over a high latency
2564
link; downgrading such data requires reinsertion of the file texts, and
2565
this is a classic space/time tradeoff. The current implementation is
2566
conservative on memory usage because we need to support converting data
2567
from any tree without problems.
2568
(Robert Collins, Martin Pool, #164476)
2572
* Disable detection of plink.exe as possible ssh vendor. Plink vendor
2573
still available if user selects it explicitly with BZR_SSH environment
2574
variable. (Alexander Belchenko, workaround for bug #107593)
2576
* The pack format is now accessible as "pack-0.92", or "pack-0.92-subtree"
2577
to enable the subtree functions (for example, for bzr-svn).
2578
See http://doc.bazaar-vcs.org/latest/developer/packrepo.html
2583
* New ``authentication.conf`` file holding the password or other credentials
2584
for remote servers. This can be used for ssh, sftp, smtp and other
2585
supported transports.
2588
* New rich-root and rich-root-pack formats, recording the same data about
2589
tree roots that's recorded for all other directories.
2590
(Aaron Bentley, #164639)
2592
* ``pack-0.92`` repositories can now be reconciled.
2593
(Robert Collins, #154173)
2595
* ``switch`` command added for changing the branch a lightweight checkout
2596
is associated with and updating the tree to reflect the latest content
2597
accordingly. This command was previously part of the BzrTools plug-in.
2598
(Ian Clatworthy, Aaron Bentley, David Allouche)
2600
* ``reconfigure`` command can now convert branches, trees, or checkouts to
2601
lightweight checkouts. (Aaron Bentley)
2605
* Commit updates the state of the working tree via a delta rather than
2606
supplying entirely new basis trees. For commit of a single specified file
2607
this reduces the wall clock time for commit by roughly a 30%.
2608
(Robert Collins, Martin Pool)
2610
* Commit with many automatically found deleted paths no longer performs
2611
linear scanning for the children of those paths during inventory
2612
iteration. This should fix commit performance blowing out when many such
2613
paths occur during commit. (Robert Collins, #156491)
2615
* Fetch with pack repositories will no longer read the entire history graph.
2616
(Robert Collins, #88319)
2618
* Revert takes out an appropriate lock when reverting to a basis tree, and
2619
does not read the basis inventory twice. (Robert Collins)
2621
* Diff does not require an inventory to be generated on dirstate trees.
2622
(Aaron Bentley, #149254)
2624
* New annotate merge (--merge-type=weave) implementation is fast on
2625
versionedfiles withough cached annotations, e.g. pack-0.92.
2630
* ``bzr merge`` now warns when it encounters a criss-cross merge.
2633
* ``bzr send`` now doesn't require the target e-mail address to be
2634
specified on the command line if an interactive e-mail client is used.
2637
* ``bzr tags`` now prints the revision number for each tag, instead of
2638
the revision id, unless --show-ids is passed. In addition, tags can be
2639
sorted chronologically instead of lexicographically with --sort=time.
2640
(Adeodato Simó, #120231)
2642
* Windows standalone version of bzr is able to load system-wide plugins from
2643
"plugins" subdirectory in installation directory. In addition standalone
2644
installer write to the registry (HKLM\SOFTWARE\Bazaar) useful info
2645
about paths and bzr version. (Alexander Belchenko, #129298)
2651
* A progress bar has been added for knitpack -> knitpack fetching.
2652
(Robert Collins, #157789, #159147)
2654
* Branching from a branch via smart server now preserves the repository
2655
format. (Andrew Bennetts, #164626)
2657
* ``commit`` is now able to invoke an external editor in a non-ascii
2658
directory. (Daniel Watkins, #84043)
2660
* Catch connection errors for ftp.
2661
(Vincent Ladeuil, #164567)
2663
* ``check`` no longer reports spurious unreferenced text versions.
2664
(Robert Collins, John A Meinel, #162931, #165071)
2666
* Conflicts are now resolved recursively by ``revert``.
2667
(Aaron Bentley, #102739)
2669
* Detect invalid transport reuse attempts by catching invalid URLs.
2670
(Vincent Ladeuil, #161819)
2672
* Deleting a file without removing it shows a correct diff, not a traceback.
2675
* Do no use timeout in HttpServer anymore.
2676
(Vincent Ladeuil, #158972).
2678
* Don't catch the exceptions related to the http pipeline status before
2679
retrying an http request or some programming errors may be masked.
2680
(Vincent Ladeuil, #160012)
2682
* Fix ``bzr rm`` to not delete modified and ignored files.
2683
(Lukáš Lalinský, #172598)
2685
* Fix exception when revisionspec contains merge revisons but log
2686
formatter doesn't support merge revisions. (Kent Gibson, #148908)
2688
* Fix exception when ScopeReplacer is assigned to before any members have
2689
been retrieved. (Aaron Bentley)
2691
* Fix multiple connections during checkout --lightweight.
2692
(Vincent Ladeuil, #159150)
2694
* Fix possible error in insert_data_stream when copying between
2695
pack repositories over bzr+ssh or bzr+http.
2696
KnitVersionedFile.get_data_stream now makes sure that requested
2697
compression parents are sent before any delta hunks that depend
2699
(Martin Pool, #164637)
2701
* Fix typo in limiting offsets coalescing for http, leading to
2702
whole files being downloaded instead of parts.
2703
(Vincent Ladeuil, #165061)
2705
* FTP server errors don't error in the error handling code.
2706
(Robert Collins, #161240)
2708
* Give a clearer message when a pull fails because the source needs
2710
(Martin Pool, #164443)
2712
* It is clearer when a plugin cannot be loaded because of its name, and a
2713
suggestion for an acceptable name is given. (Daniel Watkins, #103023)
2715
* Leave port as None in transport objects if user doesn't
2716
specify a port in urls.
2717
(vincent Ladeuil, #150860)
2719
* Make sure Repository.fetch(self) is properly a no-op for all
2720
Repository implementations. (John Arbash Meinel, #158333)
2722
* Mark .bzr directories as "hidden" on Windows.
2723
(Alexander Belchenko, #71147)
2725
* ``merge --uncommitted`` can now operate on a single file.
2726
(Aaron Bentley, Lukáš Lalinský, #136890)
2728
* Obsolete packs are now cleaned up by pack and autopack operations.
2729
(Robert Collins, #153789)
2731
* Operations pulling data from a smart server where the underlying
2732
repositories are not both annotated/both unannotated will now work.
2733
(Robert Collins, #165304).
2735
* Reconcile now shows progress bars. (Robert Collins, #159351)
2737
* ``RemoteBranch`` was not initializing ``self._revision_id_to_revno_map``
2738
properly. (John Arbash Meinel, #162486)
2740
* Removing an already-removed file reports the file does not exist. (Daniel
2743
* Rename on Windows is able to change filename case.
2744
(Alexander Belchenko, #77740)
2746
* Return error instead of a traceback for ``bzr log -r0``.
2747
(Kent Gibson, #133751)
2749
* Return error instead of a traceback when bzr is unable to create
2750
symlink on some platforms (e.g. on Windows).
2751
(Alexander Belchenko, workaround for #81689)
2753
* Revert doesn't crash when restoring a single file from a deleted
2754
directory. (Aaron Bentley)
2756
* Stderr output via logging mechanism now goes through encoded wrapper
2757
and no more uses utf-8, but terminal encoding instead. So all unicode
2758
strings now should be readable in non-utf-8 terminal.
2759
(Alexander Belchenko, #54173)
2761
* The error message when ``move --after`` should be used makes how to do so
2762
clearer. (Daniel Watkins, #85237)
2764
* Unicode-safe output from ``bzr info``. The output will be encoded
2765
using the terminal encoding and unrepresentable characters will be
2766
replaced by '?'. (Lukáš Lalinský, #151844)
2768
* Working trees are no longer created when pushing into a local no-trees
2769
repo. (Daniel Watkins, #50582)
2771
* Upgrade util/configobj to version 4.4.0.
2772
(Vincent Ladeuil, #151208).
2774
* Wrap medusa ftp test server as an FTPServer feature.
2775
(Vincent Ladeuil, #157752)
2779
* ``osutils.backup_file`` is deprecated. Actually it's not used in bzrlib
2780
during very long time. (Alexander Belchenko)
2782
* The return value of
2783
``VersionedFile.iter_lines_added_or_present_in_versions`` has been
2784
changed. Previously it was an iterator of lines, now it is an iterator of
2785
(line, version_id) tuples. This change has been made to aid reconcile and
2786
fetch operations. (Robert Collins)
2788
* ``bzrlib.repository.get_versioned_file_checker`` is now private.
2791
* The Repository format registry default has been removed; it was previously
2792
obsoleted by the bzrdir format default, which implies a default repository
2798
* Added ``ContainerSerialiser`` and ``ContainerPushParser`` to
2799
``bzrlib.pack``. These classes provide more convenient APIs for generating
2800
and parsing containers from streams rather than from files. (Andrew
2803
* New module ``lru_cache`` providing a cache for use by tasks that need
2804
semi-random access to large amounts of data. (John A Meinel)
2806
* InventoryEntry.diff is now deprecated. Please use diff.DiffTree instead.
2816
* New uninstaller on Win32. (Alexander Belchenko)
2819
bzr 0.92rc1 2007-10-29
2820
----------------------
2822
NOTES WHEN UPGRADING:
2826
* ``bzr`` now returns exit code 4 if an internal error occurred, and
2827
3 if a normal error occurred. (Martin Pool)
2829
* ``pull``, ``merge`` and ``push`` will no longer silently correct some
2830
repository index errors that occured as a result of the Weave disk format.
2831
Instead the ``reconcile`` command needs to be run to correct those
2832
problems if they exist (and it has been able to fix most such problems
2833
since bzr 0.8). Some new problems have been identified during this release
2834
and you should run ``bzr check`` once on every repository to see if you
2835
need to reconcile. If you cannot ``pull`` or ``merge`` from a remote
2836
repository due to mismatched parent errors - a symptom of index errors -
2837
you should simply take a full copy of that remote repository to a clean
2838
directory outside any local repositories, then run reconcile on it, and
2839
finally pull from it locally. (And naturally email the repositories owner
2840
to ask them to upgrade and run reconcile).
2845
* New ``knitpack-experimental`` repository format. This is interoperable with
2846
the ``dirstate-tags`` format but uses a smarter storage design that greatly
2847
speeds up many operations, both local and remote. This new format can be
2848
used as an option to the ``init``, ``init-repository`` and ``upgrade``
2849
commands. See http://doc.bazaar-vcs.org/0.92/developers/knitpack.html
2850
for further details. (Robert Collins)
2852
* For users of bzr-svn (and those testing the prototype subtree support) that
2853
wish to try packs, a new ``knitpack-subtree-experimental`` format has also
2854
been added. This is interoperable with the ``dirstate-subtrees`` format.
2857
* New ``reconfigure`` command. (Aaron Bentley)
2859
* New ``revert --forget-merges`` command, which removes the record of a pending
2860
merge without affecting the working tree contents. (Martin Pool)
2862
* New ``bzr_remote_path`` configuration variable allows finer control of
2863
remote bzr locations than BZR_REMOTE_PATH environment variable.
2866
* New ``launchpad-login`` command to tell Bazaar your Launchpad
2867
user ID. This can then be used by other functions of the
2868
Launchpad plugin. (James Henstridge)
2872
* Commit in quiet mode is now slightly faster as the information to
2873
output is no longer calculated. (Ian Clatworthy)
2875
* Commit no longer checks for new text keys during insertion when the
2876
revision id was deterministically unique. (Robert Collins)
2878
* Committing a change which is not a merge and does not change the number of
2879
files in the tree is faster by utilising the data about whether files are
2880
changed to determine if the tree is unchanged rather than recalculating
2881
it at the end of the commit process. (Robert Collins)
2883
* Inventory serialisation no longer double-sha's the content.
2886
* Knit text reconstruction now avoids making copies of the lines list for
2887
interim texts when building a single text. The new ``apply_delta`` method
2888
on ``KnitContent`` aids this by allowing modification of the revision id
2889
such objects represent. (Robert Collins)
2891
* Pack indices are now partially parsed for specific key lookup using a
2892
bisection approach. (Robert Collins)
2894
* Partial commits are now approximately 40% faster by walking over the
2895
unselected current tree more efficiently. (Robert Collins)
2897
* XML inventory serialisation takes 20% less time while being stricter about
2898
the contents. (Robert Collins)
2900
* Graph ``heads()`` queries have been fixed to no longer access all history
2901
unnecessarily. (Robert Collins)
2905
* ``bzr+https://`` smart server across https now supported.
2906
(John Ferlito, Martin Pool, #128456)
2908
* Mutt is now a supported mail client; set ``mail_client=mutt`` in your
2909
bazaar.conf and ``send`` will use mutt. (Keir Mierle)
2911
* New option ``-c``/``--change`` for ``merge`` command for cherrypicking
2912
changes from one revision. (Alexander Belchenko, #141368)
2914
* Show encodings, locale and list of plugins in the traceback message.
2915
(Martin Pool, #63894)
2917
* Experimental directory formats can now be marked with
2918
``experimental = True`` during registration. (Ian Clatworthy)
2922
* New *Bazaar in Five Minutes* guide. (Matthew Revell)
2924
* The hooks reference documentation is now converted to html as expected.
2929
* Connection error reporting for the smart server has been fixed to
2930
display a user friendly message instead of a traceback.
2931
(Ian Clatworthy, #115601)
2933
* Make sure to use ``O_BINARY`` when opening files to check their
2934
sha1sum. (Alexander Belchenko, John Arbash Meinel, #153493)
2936
* Fix a problem with Win32 handling of the executable bit.
2937
(John Arbash Meinel, #149113)
2939
* ``bzr+ssh://`` and ``sftp://`` URLs that do not specify ports explicitly
2940
no longer assume that means port 22. This allows people using OpenSSH to
2941
override the default port in their ``~/.ssh/config`` if they wish. This
2942
fixes a bug introduced in bzr 0.91. (Andrew Bennetts, #146715)
2944
* Commands reporting exceptions can now be profiled and still have their
2945
data correctly dumped to a file. For example, a ``bzr commit`` with
2946
no changes still reports the operation as pointless but doing so no
2947
longer throws away the profiling data if this command is run with
2948
``--lsprof-file callgrind.out.ci`` say. (Ian Clatworthy)
2950
* Fallback to ftp when paramiko is not installed and sftp can't be used for
2951
``tests/commands`` so that the test suite is still usable without
2953
(Vincent Ladeuil, #59150)
2955
* Fix commit ordering in corner case. (Aaron Bentley, #94975)
2957
* Fix long standing bug in partial commit when there are renames
2958
left in tree. (Robert Collins, #140419)
2960
* Fix selftest semi-random noise during http related tests.
2961
(Vincent Ladeuil, #140614)
2963
* Fix typo in ftp.py making the reconnection fail on temporary errors.
2964
(Vincent Ladeuil, #154259)
2966
* Fix failing test by comparing real paths to cover the case where the TMPDIR
2967
contains a symbolic link.
2968
(Vincent Ladeuil, #141382).
2970
* Fix log against smart server branches that don't support tags.
2971
(James Westby, #140615)
2973
* Fix pycurl http implementation by defining error codes from
2974
pycurl instead of relying on an old curl definition.
2975
(Vincent Ladeuil, #147530)
2977
* Fix 'unprintable error' message when displaying BzrCheckError and
2978
some other exceptions on Python 2.5.
2979
(Martin Pool, #144633)
2981
* Fix ``Inventory.copy()`` and add test for it. (Jelmer Vernooij)
2983
* Handles default value for ListOption in cmd_commit.
2984
(Vincent Ladeuil, #140432)
2986
* HttpServer and FtpServer need to be closed properly or a listening socket
2988
(Vincent Ladeuil, #140055)
2990
* Monitor the .bzr directory created in the top level test
2991
directory to detect leaking tests.
2992
(Vincent Ladeuil, #147986)
2994
* The basename, not the full path, is now used when checking whether
2995
the profiling dump file begins with ``callgrind.out`` or not. This
2996
fixes a bug reported by Aaron Bentley on IRC. (Ian Clatworthy)
2998
* Trivial fix for invoking command ``reconfigure`` without arguments.
3001
* ``WorkingTree.rename_one`` will now raise an error if normalisation of the
3002
new path causes bzr to be unable to access the file. (Robert Collins)
3004
* Correctly detect a NoSuchFile when using a filezilla server. (Gary van der
3009
* ``bzrlib.index.GraphIndex`` now requires a size parameter to the
3010
constructor, for enabling bisection searches. (Robert Collins)
3012
* ``CommitBuilder.record_entry_contents`` now requires the root entry of a
3013
tree be supplied to it, previously failing to do so would trigger a
3014
deprecation warning. (Robert Collins)
3016
* ``KnitVersionedFile.add*`` will no longer cache added records even when
3017
enable_cache() has been called - the caching feature is now exclusively for
3018
reading existing data. (Robert Collins)
3020
* ``ReadOnlyLockError`` is deprecated; ``LockFailed`` is usually more
3021
appropriate. (Martin Pool)
3023
* Removed ``bzrlib.transport.TransportLogger`` - please see the new
3024
``trace+`` transport instead. (Robert Collins)
3026
* Removed previously deprecated varargs interface to ``TestCase.run_bzr`` and
3027
deprecated methods ``TestCase.capture`` and ``TestCase.run_bzr_captured``.
3030
* Removed previous deprecated ``basis_knit`` parameter to the
3031
``KnitVersionedFile`` constructor. (Robert Collins)
3033
* Special purpose method ``TestCase.run_bzr_decode`` is moved to the test_non_ascii
3034
class that needs it.
3037
* The class ``bzrlib.repofmt.knitrepo.KnitRepository3`` has been folded into
3038
``KnitRepository`` by parameters to the constructor. (Robert Collins)
3040
* The ``VersionedFile`` interface now allows content checks to be bypassed
3041
by supplying check_content=False. This saves nearly 30% of the minimum
3042
cost to store a version of a file. (Robert Collins)
3044
* Tree's with bad state such as files with no length or sha will no longer
3045
be silently accepted by the repository XML serialiser. To serialise
3046
inventories without such data, pass working=True to write_inventory.
3049
* ``VersionedFile.fix_parents`` has been removed as a harmful API.
3050
``VersionedFile.join`` will no longer accept different parents on either
3051
side of a join - it will either ignore them, or error, depending on the
3052
implementation. See notes when upgrading for more information.
3057
* ``bzrlib.transport.Transport.put_file`` now returns the number of bytes
3058
put by the method call, to allow avoiding stat-after-write or
3059
housekeeping in callers. (Robert Collins)
3061
* ``bzrlib.xml_serializer.Serializer`` is now responsible for checking that
3062
mandatory attributes are present on serialisation and deserialisation.
3063
This fixes some holes in API usage and allows better separation between
3064
physical storage and object serialisation. (Robert Collins)
3066
* New class ``bzrlib.errors.InternalBzrError`` which is just a convenient
3067
shorthand for deriving from BzrError and setting internal_error = True.
3070
* New method ``bzrlib.mutabletree.update_to_one_parent_via_delta`` for
3071
moving the state of a parent tree to a new version via a delta rather than
3072
a complete replacement tree. (Robert Collins)
3074
* New method ``bzrlib.osutils.minimum_path_selection`` useful for removing
3075
duplication from user input, when a user mentions both a path and an item
3076
contained within that path. (Robert Collins)
3078
* New method ``bzrlib.repository.Repository.is_write_locked`` useful for
3079
determining if a repository is write locked. (Robert Collins)
3081
* New method on ``bzrlib.tree.Tree`` ``path_content_summary`` provides a
3082
tuple containing the key information about a path for commit processing
3083
to complete. (Robert Collins)
3085
* New method on xml serialisers, write_inventory_to_lines, which matches the
3086
API used by knits for adding content. (Robert Collins)
3088
* New module ``bzrlib.bisect_multi`` with generic multiple-bisection-at-once
3089
logic, currently only available for byte-based lookup
3090
(``bisect_multi_bytes``). (Robert Collins)
3092
* New helper ``bzrlib.tuned_gzip.bytes_to_gzip`` which takes a byte string
3093
and returns a gzipped version of the same. This is used to avoid a bunch
3094
of api friction during adding of knit hunks. (Robert Collins)
3096
* New parameter on ``bzrlib.transport.Transport.readv``
3097
``adjust_for_latency`` which changes readv from returning strictly the
3098
requested data to inserted return larger ranges and in forward read order
3099
to reduce the effect of network latency. (Robert Collins)
3101
* New parameter yield_parents on ``Inventory.iter_entries_by_dir`` which
3102
causes the parents of a selected id to be returned recursively, so all the
3103
paths from the root down to each element of selected_file_ids are
3104
returned. (Robert Collins)
3106
* Knit joining has been enhanced to support plain to annotated conversion
3107
and annotated to plain conversion. (Ian Clatworthy)
3109
* The CommitBuilder method ``record_entry_contents`` now returns summary
3110
information about the effect of the commit on the repository. This tuple
3111
contains an inventory delta item if the entry changed from the basis, and a
3112
boolean indicating whether a new file graph node was recorded.
3115
* The python path used in the Makefile can now be overridden.
3116
(Andrew Bennetts, Ian Clatworthy)
3120
* New transport implementation ``trace+`` which is useful for testing,
3121
logging activity taken to its _activity attribute. (Robert Collins)
3123
* When running bzr commands within the test suite, internal exceptions are
3124
not caught and reported in the usual way, but rather allowed to propagate
3125
up and be visible to the test suite. A new API ``run_bzr_catch_user_errors``
3126
makes this behavior available to other users.
3129
* New method ``TestCase.call_catch_warnings`` for testing methods that
3130
raises a Python warning. (Martin Pool)
3138
* Print a warning instead of aborting the ``python setup.py install``
3139
process if building of a C extension is not possible.
3140
(Lukáš Lalinský, Alexander Belchenko)
3142
* Fix commit ordering in corner case (Aaron Bentley, #94975)
3144
* Fix ''bzr info bzr://host/'' and other operations on ''bzr://' URLs with
3145
an implicit port. We were incorrectly raising PathNotChild due to
3146
inconsistent treatment of the ''_port'' attribute on the Transport object.
3147
(Andrew Bennetts, #133965)
3149
* Make RemoteRepository.sprout cope gracefully with servers that don't
3150
support the ``Repository.tarball`` request.
3154
bzr 0.91rc2 2007-09-11
3155
----------------------
3157
* Replaced incorrect tarball for previous release; a debug statement was left
3158
in bzrlib/remote.py.
3161
bzr 0.91rc1 2007-09-11
3162
----------------------
3166
* The default branch and repository format has changed to
3167
``dirstate-tags``, so tag commands are active by default.
3168
This format is compatible with Bazaar 0.15 and later.
3169
This incidentally fixes bug #126141.
3172
* ``--quiet`` or ``-q`` is no longer a global option. If present, it
3173
must now appear after the command name. Scripts doing things like
3174
``bzr -q missing`` need to be rewritten as ``bzr missing -q``.
3179
* New option ``--author`` in ``bzr commit`` to specify the author of the
3180
change, if it's different from the committer. ``bzr log`` and
3181
``bzr annotate`` display the author instead of the committer.
3184
* In addition to global options and command specific options, a set of
3185
standard options are now supported. Standard options are legal for
3186
all commands. The initial set of standard options are:
3188
* ``--help`` or ``-h`` - display help message
3189
* ``--verbose`` or ``-v`` - display additional information
3190
* ``--quiet`` or ``-q`` - only output warnings and errors.
3192
Unlike global options, standard options can be used in aliases and
3193
may have command-specific help. (Ian Clatworthy)
3195
* Verbosity level processing has now been unified. If ``--verbose``
3196
or ``-v`` is specified on the command line multiple times, the
3197
verbosity level is made positive the first time then increased.
3198
If ``--quiet`` or ``-q`` is specified on the command line
3199
multiple times, the verbosity level is made negative the first
3200
time then decreased. To get the default verbosity level of zero,
3201
either specify none of the above , ``--no-verbose`` or ``--no-quiet``.
3202
Note that most commands currently ignore the magnitude of the
3203
verbosity level but do respect *quiet vs normal vs verbose* when
3204
generating output. (Ian Clatworthy)
3206
* ``Branch.hooks`` now supports ``pre_commit`` hook. The hook's signature
3207
is documented in BranchHooks constructor. (Nam T. Nguyen, #102747)
3209
* New ``Repository.stream_knit_data_for_revisions`` request added to the
3210
network protocol for greatly reduced roundtrips when retrieving a set of
3211
revisions. (Andrew Bennetts)
3215
* ``bzr plugins`` now lists the version number for each plugin in square
3216
brackets after the path. (Robert Collins, #125421)
3218
* Pushing, pulling and branching branches with subtree references was not
3219
copying the subtree weave, preventing the file graph from being accessed
3220
and causing errors in commits in clones. (Robert Collins)
3222
* Suppress warning "integer argument expected, got float" from Paramiko,
3223
which sometimes caused false test failures. (Martin Pool)
3225
* Fix bug in bundle 4 that could cause attempts to write data to wrong
3226
versionedfile. (Aaron Bentley)
3228
* Diffs generated using "diff -p" no longer break the patch parser.
3231
* get_transport treats an empty possible_transports list the same as a non-
3232
empty one. (Aaron Bentley)
3234
* patch verification for merge directives is reactivated, and works with
3235
CRLF and CR files. (Aaron Bentley)
3237
* Accept ..\ as a path in revision specifiers. This fixes for example
3238
"-r branch:..\other-branch" on Windows. (Lukáš Lalinský)
3240
* ``BZR_PLUGIN_PATH`` may now contain trailing slashes.
3241
(Blake Winton, #129299)
3243
* man page no longer lists hidden options (#131667, Aaron Bentley)
3245
* ``uncommit --help`` now explains the -r option adequately. (Daniel
3248
* Error messages are now better formatted with parameters (such as
3249
filenames) quoted when necessary. This avoids confusion when directory
3250
names ending in a '.' at the end of messages were confused with a
3251
full stop that may or not have been there. (Daniel Watkins, #129791)
3253
* Fix ``status FILE -r X..Y``. (Lukáš Lalinský)
3255
* If a particular command is an alias, ``help`` will show the alias
3256
instead of claiming there is no help for said alias. (Daniel Watkins,
3259
* TreeTransform-based operations, like pull, merge, revert, and branch,
3260
now roll back if they encounter an error. (Aaron Bentley, #67699)
3262
* ``bzr commit`` now exits cleanly if a character unsupported by the
3263
current encoding is used in the commit message. (Daniel Watkins,
3266
* bzr send uses default values for ranges when only half of an elipsis
3267
is specified ("-r..5" or "-r5.."). (#61685, Aaron Bentley)
3269
* Avoid trouble when Windows ssh calls itself 'plink' but no plink
3270
binary is present. (Martin Albisetti, #107155)
3272
* ``bzr remove`` should remove clean subtrees. Now it will remove (without
3273
needing ``--force``) subtrees that contain no files with text changes or
3274
modified files. With ``--force`` it removes the subtree regardless of
3275
text changes or unknown files. Directories with renames in or out (but
3276
not changed otherwise) will now be removed without needing ``--force``.
3277
Unknown ignored files will be deleted without needing ``--force``.
3278
(Marius Kruger, #111665)
3280
* When two plugins conflict, the source of both the losing and now the
3281
winning definition is shown. (Konstantin Mikhaylov, #5454)
3283
* When committing to a branch, the location being committed to is
3284
displayed. (Daniel Watkins, #52479)
3286
* ``bzr --version`` takes care about encoding of stdout, especially
3287
when output is redirected. (Alexander Belchenko, #131100)
3289
* Prompt for an ftp password if none is provided.
3290
(Vincent Ladeuil, #137044)
3292
* Reuse bound branch associated transport to avoid multiple
3294
(Vincent Ladeuil, #128076, #131396)
3296
* Overwrite conflicting tags by ``push`` and ``pull`` if the
3297
``--overwrite`` option is specified. (Lukáš Lalinský, #93947)
3299
* In checkouts, tags are copied into the master branch when created,
3300
changed or deleted, and are copied into the checkout when it is
3301
updated. (Martin Pool, #93856, #93860)
3303
* Print a warning instead of aborting the ``python setup.py install``
3304
process if building of a C extension is not possible.
3305
(Lukáš Lalinský, Alexander Belchenko)
3309
* Add the option "--show-diff" to the commit command in order to display
3310
the diff during the commit log creation. (Goffredo Baroncelli)
3312
* ``pull`` and ``merge`` are much faster at installing bundle format 4.
3315
* ``pull -v`` no longer includes deltas, making it much faster.
3318
* ``send`` now sends the directive as an attachment by default.
3319
(Aaron Bentley, Lukáš Lalinský, Alexander Belchenko)
3321
* Documentation updates (Martin Albisetti)
3323
* Help on debug flags is now included in ``help global-options``.
3324
(Daniel Watkins, #124853)
3326
* Parameters passed on the command line are checked to ensure they are
3327
supported by the encoding in use. (Daniel Watkins)
3329
* The compression used within the bzr repository has changed from zlib
3330
level 9 to the zlib default level. This improves commit performance with
3331
only a small increase in space used (and in some cases a reduction in
3332
space). (Robert Collins)
3334
* Initial commit no longer SHAs files twice and now reuses the path
3335
rather than looking it up again, making it faster.
3338
* New option ``-c``/``--change`` for ``diff`` and ``status`` to show
3339
changes in one revision. (Lukáš Lalinský)
3341
* If versioned files match a given ignore pattern, a warning is now
3342
given. (Daniel Watkins, #48623)
3344
* ``bzr status`` now has -S as a short name for --short and -V as a
3345
short name for --versioned. These have been added to assist users
3346
migrating from Subversion: ``bzr status -SV`` is now like
3347
``svn status -q``. (Daniel Watkins, #115990)
3349
* Added C implementation of ``PatienceSequenceMatcher``, which is about
3350
10x faster than the Python version. This speeds up commands that
3351
need file diffing, such as ``bzr commit`` or ``bzr diff``.
3354
* HACKING has been extended with a large section on core developer tasks.
3357
* Add ``branches`` and ``standalone-trees`` as online help topics and
3358
include them as Concepts within the User Reference.
3359
(Paul Moore, Ian Clatworthy)
3361
* ``check`` can detect versionedfile parent references that are
3362
inconsistent with revision and inventory info, and ``reconcile`` can fix
3363
them. These faulty references were generated by 0.8-era releases,
3364
so repositories which were manipulated by old bzrs should be
3365
checked, and possibly reconciled ASAP. (Aaron Bentley, Andrew Bennetts)
3369
* ``Branch.append_revision`` is removed altogether; please use
3370
``Branch.set_last_revision_info`` instead. (Martin Pool)
3372
* CommitBuilder now advertises itself as requiring the root entry to be
3373
supplied. This only affects foreign repository implementations which reuse
3374
CommitBuilder directly and have changed record_entry_contents to require
3375
that the root not be supplied. This should be precisely zero plugins
3376
affected. (Robert Collins)
3378
* The ``add_lines`` methods on ``VersionedFile`` implementations has changed
3379
its return value to include the sha1 and length of the inserted text. This
3380
allows the avoidance of double-sha1 calculations during commit.
3383
* ``Transport.should_cache`` has been removed. It was not called in the
3384
previous release. (Martin Pool)
3388
* Tests may now raise TestNotApplicable to indicate they shouldn't be
3389
run in a particular scenario. (Martin Pool)
3391
* New function multiply_tests_from_modules to give a simpler interface
3392
to test parameterization. (Martin Pool, Robert Collins)
3394
* ``Transport.should_cache`` has been removed. It was not called in the
3395
previous release. (Martin Pool)
3397
* NULL_REVISION is returned to indicate the null revision, not None.
3400
* Use UTF-8 encoded StringIO for log tests to avoid failures on
3401
non-ASCII committer names. (Lukáš Lalinský)
3405
* ``bzrlib.plugin.all_plugins`` has been deprecated in favour of
3406
``bzrlib.plugin.plugins()`` which returns PlugIn objects that provide
3407
useful functionality for determining the path of a plugin, its tests, and
3408
its version information. (Robert Collins)
3410
* Add the option user_encoding to the function 'show_diff_trees()'
3411
in order to move the user encoding at the UI level. (Goffredo Baroncelli)
3413
* Add the function make_commit_message_template_encoded() and the function
3414
edit_commit_message_encoded() which handle encoded strings.
3415
This is done in order to mix the commit messages (which is a unicode
3416
string), and the diff which is a raw string. (Goffredo Baroncelli)
3418
* CommitBuilder now defaults to using add_lines_with_ghosts, reducing
3419
overhead on non-weave repositories which don't require all parents to be
3420
present. (Robert Collins)
3422
* Deprecated method ``find_previous_heads`` on
3423
``bzrlib.inventory.InventoryEntry``. This has been superseded by the use
3424
of ``parent_candidates`` and a separate heads check via the repository
3425
API. (Robert Collins)
3427
* New trace function ``mutter_callsite`` will print out a subset of the
3428
stack to the log, which can be useful for gathering debug details.
3431
* ``bzrlib.pack.ContainerWriter`` now tracks how many records have been
3432
added via a public attribute records_written. (Robert Collins)
3434
* New method ``bzrlib.transport.Transport.get_recommended_page_size``.
3435
This provides a hint to users of transports as to the reasonable
3436
minimum data to read. In principle this can take latency and
3437
bandwidth into account on a per-connection basis, but for now it
3438
just has hard coded values based on the url. (e.g. http:// has a large
3439
page size, file:// has a small one.) (Robert Collins)
3441
* New method on ``bzrlib.transport.Transport`` ``open_write_stream`` allows
3442
incremental addition of data to a file without requiring that all the
3443
data be buffered in memory. (Robert Collins)
3445
* New methods on ``bzrlib.knit.KnitVersionedFile``:
3446
``get_data_stream(versions)``, ``insert_data_stream(stream)`` and
3447
``get_format_signature()``. These provide some infrastructure for
3448
efficiently streaming the knit data for a set of versions over the smart
3451
* Knits with no annotation cache still produce correct annotations.
3454
* Three new methods have been added to ``bzrlib.trace``:
3455
``set_verbosity_level``, ``get_verbosity_level`` and ``is_verbose``.
3456
``set_verbosity_level`` expects a numeric value: negative for quiet,
3457
zero for normal, positive for verbose. The size of the number can be
3458
used to determine just how quiet or verbose the application should be.
3459
The existing ``be_quiet`` and ``is_quiet`` routines have been
3460
integrated into this new scheme. (Ian Clatworthy)
3462
* Options can now be delcared with a ``custom_callback`` parameter. If
3463
set, this routine is called after the option is processed. This feature
3464
is now used by the standard options ``verbose`` and ``quiet`` so that
3465
setting one implicitly resets the other. (Ian Clatworthy)
3467
* Rather than declaring a new option from scratch in order to provide
3468
custom help, a centrally registered option can be decorated using the
3469
new ``bzrlib.Option.custom_help`` routine. In particular, this routine
3470
is useful when declaring better help for the ``verbose`` and ``quiet``
3471
standard options as the base definition of these is now more complex
3472
than before thanks to their use of a custom callback. (Ian Clatworthy)
3474
* Tree._iter_changes(specific_file=[]) now iterates through no files,
3475
instead of iterating through all files. None is used to iterate through
3476
all files. (Aaron Bentley)
3478
* WorkingTree.revert() now accepts None to revert all files. The use of
3479
[] to revert all files is deprecated. (Aaron Bentley)
3487
* Documentation is now organized into multiple directories with a level
3488
added for different languages or locales. Added the Mini Tutorial
3489
and Quick Start Summary (en) documents from the Wiki, improving the

(Ian Clatworthy, Sabin Iacob, Alexander Belchenko)
3499
* The static convenience method ``BzrDir.create_repository``
3500
is deprecated. Callers should instead create a ``BzrDir`` instance
3501
and call ``create_repository`` on that. (Martin Pool)
3504
bzr 0.90rc1 2007-08-14
3505
----------------------
3509
* ``bzr init`` should connect to the remote location one time only. We
3510
have been connecting several times because we forget to pass around the
3511
Transport object. This modifies ``BzrDir.create_branch_convenience``,
3512
so that we can give it the Transport we already have.
3513
(John Arbash Meinel, Vincent Ladeuil, #111702)
3515
* Get rid of sftp connection cache (get rid of the FTP one too).
3516
(Vincent Ladeuil, #43731)
3518
* bzr branch {local|remote} remote don't try to create a working tree
3520
(Vincent Ladeuil, #112173)
3522
* All identified multiple connections for a single bzr command have been
3523
fixed. See bzrlib/tests/commands directory.
3526
* ``bzr rm`` now does not insist on ``--force`` to delete files that
3527
have been renamed but not otherwise modified. (Marius Kruger,
3530
* ``bzr selftest --bench`` no longer emits deprecation warnings
3533
* ``bzr status`` now honours FILE parameters for conflict lists
3534
(Aaron Bentley, #127606)
3536
* ``bzr checkout`` now honours -r when reconstituting a working tree.
3537
It also honours -r 0. (Aaron Bentley, #127708)
3539
* ``bzr add *`` no more fails on Windows if working tree contains
3540
non-ascii file names. (Kuno Meyer, #127361)
3542
* allow ``easy_install bzr`` runs without fatal errors.
3543
(Alexander Belchenko, #125521)
3545
* Graph._filter_candidate_lca does not raise KeyError if a candidate
3546
is eliminated just before it would normally be examined. (Aaron Bentley)
3548
* SMTP connection failures produce a nice message, not a traceback.
3553
* Don't show "dots" progress indicators when run non-interactively, such
3554
as from cron. (Martin Pool)
3556
* ``info`` now formats locations more nicely and lists "submit" and
3557
"public" branches (Aaron Bentley)
3559
* New ``pack`` command that will trigger database compression within
3560
the repository (Robert Collins)
3562
* Implement ``_KnitIndex._load_data`` in a pyrex extension. The pyrex
3563
version is approximately 2-3x faster at parsing a ``.kndx`` file.
3564
Which yields a measurable improvement for commands which have to
3565
read from the repository, such as a 1s => 0.75s improvement in
3566
``bzr diff`` when there are changes to be shown. (John Arbash Meinel)
3568
* Merge is now faster. Depending on the scenario, it can be more than 2x
3569
faster. (Aaron Bentley)
3571
* Give a clearer warning, and allow ``python setup.py install`` to
3572
succeed even if pyrex is not available.
3573
(John Arbash Meinel)
3575
* ``DirState._read_dirblocks`` now has an optional Pyrex
3576
implementation. This improves the speed of any command that has to
3577
read the entire DirState. (``diff``, ``status``, etc, improve by
3579
``bisect_dirblocks`` has also been improved, which helps all
3580
``_get_entry`` type calls (whenever we are searching for a
3581
particular entry in the in-memory DirState).
3582
(John Arbash Meinel)
3584
* ``bzr pull`` and ``bzr push`` no longer do a complete walk of the
3585
branch revision history for ui display unless -v is supplied.
3588
* ``bzr log -rA..B`` output shifted to the left margin if the log only
3589
contains merge revisions. (Kent Gibson)
3591
* The ``plugins`` command is now public with improved help.
3594
* New bundle and merge directive formats are faster to generate, and
3596
* Annotate merge now works when there are local changes. (Aaron Bentley)
3598
* Commit now only shows the progress in terms of directories instead of
3599
entries. (Ian Clatworthy)
3601
* Fix ``KnitRepository.get_revision_graph`` to not request the graph 2
3602
times. This makes ``get_revision_graph`` 2x faster. (John Arbash
3605
* Fix ``VersionedFile.get_graph()`` to avoid using
3606
``set.difference_update(other)``, which has bad scaling when
3607
``other`` is large. This improves ``VF.get_graph([version_id])`` for
3608
a 12.5k graph from 2.9s down to 200ms. (John Arbash Meinel)
3610
* The ``--lsprof-file`` option now generates output for KCacheGrind if
3611
the file starts with ``callgrind.out``. This matches the default file
3612
filtering done by KCacheGrind's Open Dialog. (Ian Clatworthy)
3614
* Fix ``bzr update`` to avoid an unnecessary
3615
``branch.get_master_branch`` call, which avoids 1 extra connection
3616
to the remote server. (Partial fix for #128076, John Arbash Meinel)
3618
* Log errors from the smart server in the trace file, to make debugging
3619
test failures (and live failures!) easier. (Andrew Bennetts)
3621
* The HTML version of the man page has been superceded by a more
3622
comprehensive manual called the Bazaar User Reference. This manual
3623
is completed generated from the online help topics. As part of this
3624
change, limited reStructuredText is now explicitly supported in help
3625
topics and command help with 'unnatural' markup being removed prior
3626
to display by the online help or inclusion in the man page.
3629
* HTML documentation now use files extension ``*.html``
3630
(Alexander Belchenko)
3632
* The cache of ignore definitions is now cleared in WorkingTree.unlock()
3633
so that changes to .bzrignore aren't missed. (#129694, Daniel Watkins)
3635
* ``bzr selftest --strict`` fails if there are any missing features or
3636
expected test failures. (Daniel Watkins, #111914)
3638
* Link to registration survey added to README. (Ian Clatworthy)
3640
* Windows standalone installer show link to registration survey
3641
when installation finished. (Alexander Belchenko)
3645
* Deprecated dictionary ``bzrlib.option.SHORT_OPTIONS`` removed.
3646
Options are now required to provide a help string and it must
3647
comply with the style guide by being one or more sentences with an
3648
initial capital and final period. (Martin Pool)
3650
* KnitIndex.get_parents now returns tuples. (Robert Collins)
3652
* Ancient unused ``Repository.text_store`` attribute has been removed.
3655
* The ``bzrlib.pack`` interface has changed to use tuples of bytestrings
3656
rather than just bytestrings, making it easier to represent multiple
3657
element names. As this interface was not used by any internal facilities
3658
since it was introduced in 0.18 no API compatibility is being preserved.
3659
The serialised form of these packs is identical with 0.18 when a single
3660
element tuple is in use. (Robert Collins)
3664
* merge now uses ``iter_changes`` to calculate changes, which makes room for
3665
future performance increases. It is also more consistent with other
3666
operations that perform comparisons, and reduces reliance on
3667
Tree.inventory. (Aaron Bentley)
3669
* Refactoring of transport classes connected to a remote server.
3670
ConnectedTransport is a new class that serves as a basis for all
3671
transports needing to connect to a remote server. transport.split_url
3672
have been deprecated, use the static method on the object instead. URL
3673
tests have been refactored too.
3676
* Better connection sharing for ConnectedTransport objects.
3677
transport.get_transport() now accepts a 'possible_transports' parameter.
3678
If a newly requested transport can share a connection with one of the
3682
* Most functions now accept ``bzrlib.revision.NULL_REVISION`` to indicate
3683
the null revision, and consider using ``None`` for this purpose
3684
deprecated. (Aaron Bentley)
3686
* New ``index`` module with abstract index functionality. This will be
3687
used during the planned changes in the repository layer. Currently the
3688
index layer provides a graph aware immutable index, a builder for the
3689
same index type to allow creating them, and finally a composer for
3690
such indices to allow the use of many indices in a single query. The
3691
index performance is not optimised, however the API is stable to allow
3692
development on top of the index. (Robert Collins)
3694
* ``bzrlib.dirstate.cmp_by_dirs`` can be used to compare two paths by
3695
their directory sections. This is equivalent to comparing
3696
``path.split('/')``, only without having to split the paths.
3697
This has a Pyrex implementation available.
3698
(John Arbash Meinel)
3700
* New transport decorator 'unlistable+' which disables the list_dir
3701
functionality for testing.
3703
* Deprecated ``change_entry`` in transform.py. (Ian Clatworthy)
3705
* RevisionTree.get_weave is now deprecated. Tree.plan_merge is now used
3706
for performing annotate-merge. (Aaron Bentley)
3708
* New EmailMessage class to create email messages. (Adeodato Simó)
3710
* Unused functions on the private interface KnitIndex have been removed.
3713
* New ``knit.KnitGraphIndex`` which provides a ``KnitIndex`` layered on top
3714
of a ``index.GraphIndex``. (Robert Collins)
3716
* New ``knit.KnitVersionedFile.iter_parents`` method that allows querying
3717
the parents of many knit nodes at once, reducing round trips to the
3718
underlying index. (Robert Collins)
3720
* Graph now has an is_ancestor method, various bits use it.
3723
* The ``-Dhpss`` flag now includes timing information. As well as
3724
logging when a new connection is opened. (John Arbash Meinel)
3726
* ``bzrlib.pack.ContainerWriter`` now returns an offset, length tuple to
3727
callers when inserting data, allowing generation of readv style access
3728
during pack creation, without needing a separate pass across the output
3729
pack to gather such details. (Robert Collins)
3731
* ``bzrlib.pack.make_readv_reader`` allows readv based access to pack
3732
files that are stored on a transport. (Robert Collins)
3734
* New ``Repository.has_same_location`` method that reports if two
3735
repository objects refer to the same repository (although with some risk
3736
of false negatives). (Andrew Bennetts)
3738
* InterTree.compare now passes require_versioned on correctly.
3741
* New methods on Repository - ``start_write_group``,
3742
``commit_write_group``, ``abort_write_group`` and ``is_in_write_group`` -
3743
which provide a clean hook point for transactional Repositories - ones
3744
where all the data for a fetch or commit needs to be made atomically
3745
available in one step. This allows the write lock to remain while making
3746
a series of data insertions. (e.g. data conversion). (Robert Collins)
3748
* In ``bzrlib.knit`` the internal interface has been altered to use
3749
3-tuples (index, pos, length) rather than two-tuples (pos, length) to
3750
describe where data in a knit is, allowing knits to be split into
3751
many files. (Robert Collins)
3753
* ``bzrlib.knit._KnitData`` split into cache management and physical access
3754
with two access classes - ``_PackAccess`` and ``_KnitAccess`` defined.
3755
The former provides access into a .pack file, and the latter provides the
3756
current production repository form of .knit files. (Robert Collins)
3760
* Remove selftest ``--clean-output``, ``--numbered-dirs`` and
3761
``--keep-output`` options, which are obsolete now that tests
3762
are done within directories in $TMPDIR. (Martin Pool)
3764
* The SSH_AUTH_SOCK environment variable is now reset to avoid
3765
interaction with any running ssh agents. (Jelmer Vernooij, #125955)
3767
* run_bzr_subprocess handles parameters the same way as run_bzr:
3768
either a string or a list of strings should be passed as the first
3769
parameter. Varargs-style parameters are deprecated. (Aaron Bentley)
3773
--------------------
3777
* Fix 'bzr add' crash under Win32 (Kuno Meyer)
3780
bzr 0.18rc1 2007-07-10
3781
-----------------------
3785
* Do not suppress pipe errors, etc. in non-display commands
3786
(Alexander Belchenko, #87178)
3788
* Display a useful error message when the user requests to annotate
3789
a file that is not present in the specified revision.
3790
(James Westby, #122656)
3792
* Commands that use status flags now have a reference to 'help
3793
status-flags'. (Daniel Watkins, #113436)
3795
* Work around python-2.4.1 inhability to correctly parse the
3796
authentication header.
3797
(Vincent Ladeuil, #121889)
3799
* Use exact encoding for merge directives. (Adeodato Simó, #120591)
3801
* Fix tempfile permissions error in smart server tar bundling under
3802
Windows. (Martin _, #119330)
3804
* Fix detection of directory entries in the inventory. (James Westby)
3806
* Fix handling of http code 400: Bad Request When issuing too many ranges.
3807
(Vincent Ladeuil, #115209)
3809
* Issue a CONNECT request when connecting to an https server
3810
via a proxy to enable SSL tunneling.
3811
(Vincent Ladeuil, #120678)
3813
* Fix ``bzr log -r`` to support selecting merge revisions, both
3814
individually and as part of revision ranges.
3815
(Kent Gibson, #4663)
3817
* Don't leave cruft behind when failing to acquire a lockdir.
3818
(Martin Pool, #109169)
3820
* Don't use the '-f' strace option during tests.
3821
(Vincent Ladeuil, #102019).
3823
* Warn when setting ``push_location`` to a value that will be masked by
3824
locations.conf. (Aaron Bentley, #122286)
3826
* Fix commit ordering in corner case (Aaron Bentley, #94975)
3828
* Make annotate behave in a non-ASCII world (Adeodato Simó).
3832
* The --lsprof-file option now dumps a text rendering of the profiling
3833
information if the filename ends in ".txt". It will also convert the
3834
profiling information to a format suitable for KCacheGrind if the
3835
output filename ends in ".callgrind". Fixes to the lsprofcalltree
3836
conversion process by Jean Paul Calderone and Itamar were also merged.
3837
See http://ddaa.net/blog/python/lsprof-calltree. (Ian Clatworthy)
3839
* ``info`` now defaults to non-verbose mode, displaying only paths and
3840
abbreviated format info. ``info -v`` displays all the information
3841
formerly displayed by ``info``. (Aaron Bentley, Adeodato Simó)
3843
* ``bzr missing`` now has better option names ``--this`` and ``--other``.
3846
* The internal ``weave-list`` command has become ``versionedfile-list``,
3847
and now lists knits as well as weaves. (Aaron Bentley)
3849
* Automatic merge base selection uses a faster algorithm that chooses
3850
better bases in criss-cross merge situations (Aaron Bentley)
3852
* Progress reporting in ``commit`` has been improved. The various logical
3853
stages are now reported on as follows, namely:
3855
* Collecting changes [Entry x/y] - Stage n/m
3856
* Saving data locally - Stage n/m
3857
* Uploading data to master branch - Stage n/m
3858
* Updating the working tree - Stage n/m
3859
* Running post commit hooks - Stage n/m
3861
If there is no master branch, the 3rd stage is omitted and the total
3862
number of stages is adjusted accordingly.
3864
Each hook that is run after commit is listed with a name (as hooks
3865
can be slow it is useful feedback).
3866
(Ian Clatworthy, Robert Collins)
3868
* Various operations that are now faster due to avoiding unnecessary
3869
topological sorts. (Aaron Bentley)
3871
* Make merge directives robust against broken bundles. (Aaron Bentley)
3873
* The lsprof filename note is emitted via trace.note(), not standard
3874
output. (Aaron Bentley)
3876
* ``bzrlib`` now exports explicit API compatibility information to assist
3877
library users and plugins. See the ``bzrlib.api`` module for details.
3880
* Remove unnecessary lock probes when acquiring a lockdir.
3883
* ``bzr --version`` now shows the location of the bzr log file, which
3884
is especially useful on Windows. (Martin Pool)
3886
* -D now supports hooks to get debug tracing of hooks (though its currently
3887
minimal in nature). (Robert Collins)
3889
* Long log format reports deltas on merge revisions.
3890
(John Arbash Meinel, Kent Gibson)
3892
* Make initial push over ftp more resilient. (John Arbash Meinel)
3894
* Print a summary of changes for update just like pull does.
3895
(Daniel Watkins, #113990)
3897
* Add a -Dhpss option to trace smart protocol requests and responses.
3902
* Testing cleanups -
3903
``bzrlib.repository.RepositoryTestProviderAdapter`` has been moved
3904
to ``bzrlib.tests.repository_implementations``;
3905
``bzrlib.repository.InterRepositoryTestProviderAdapter`` has been moved
3906
to ``bzrlib.tests.interrepository_implementations``;
3907
``bzrlib.transport.TransportTestProviderAdapter`` has moved to
3908
``bzrlib.tests.test_transport_implementations``.
3909
``bzrlib.branch.BranchTestProviderAdapter`` has moved to
3910
``bzrlib.tests.branch_implementations``.
3911
``bzrlib.bzrdir.BzrDirTestProviderAdapter`` has moved to
3912
``bzrlib.tests.bzrdir_implementations``.
3913
``bzrlib.versionedfile.InterVersionedFileTestProviderAdapter`` has moved
3914
to ``bzrlib.tests.interversionedfile_implementations``.
3915
``bzrlib.store.revision.RevisionStoreTestProviderAdapter`` has moved to
3916
``bzrlib.tests.revisionstore_implementations``.
3917
``bzrlib.workingtree.WorkingTreeTestProviderAdapter`` has moved to
3918
``bzrlib.tests.workingtree_implementations``.
3919
These changes are an API break in the testing infrastructure only.
3922
* Relocate TestCaseWithRepository to be more central. (Robert Collins)
3924
* ``bzrlib.add.smart_add_tree`` will no longer perform glob expansion on
3925
win32. Callers of the function should do this and use the new
3926
``MutableTree.smart_add`` method instead. (Robert Collins)
3928
* ``bzrlib.add.glob_expand_for_win32`` is now
3929
``bzrlib.win32utils.glob_expand``. (Robert Collins)
3931
* ``bzrlib.add.FastPath`` is now private and moved to
3932
``bzrlib.mutabletree._FastPath``. (Robert Collins, Martin Pool)
3934
* ``LockDir.wait`` removed. (Martin Pool)
3936
* The ``SmartServer`` hooks API has changed for the ``server_started`` and
3937
``server_stopped`` hooks. The first parameter is now an iterable of
3938
backing URLs rather than a single URL. This is to reflect that many
3939
URLs may map to the external URL of the server. E.g. the server interally
3940
may have a chrooted URL but also the local file:// URL will be at the
3941
same location. (Robert Collins)
3945
* New SMTPConnection class to unify email handling. (Adeodato Simó)
3947
* Fix documentation of BzrError. (Adeodato Simó)
3949
* Make BzrBadParameter an internal error. (Adeodato Simó)
3951
* Remove use of 'assert False' to raise an exception unconditionally.
3954
* Give a cleaner error when failing to decode knit index entry.
3957
* TreeConfig would mistakenly search the top level when asked for options
3958
from a section. It now respects the section argument and only
3959
searches the specified section. (James Westby)
3961
* Improve ``make api-docs`` output. (John Arbash Meinel)
3963
* Use os.lstat rather than os.stat for osutils.make_readonly and
3964
osutils.make_writeable. This makes the difftools plugin more
3965
robust when dangling symlinks are found. (Elliot Murphy)
3967
* New ``-Dlock`` option to log (to ~/.bzr.log) information on when
3968
lockdirs are taken or released. (Martin Pool)
3970
* ``bzrlib`` Hooks are now nameable using ``Hooks.name_hook``. This
3971
allows a nicer UI when hooks are running as the current hook can
3972
be displayed. (Robert Collins)
3974
* ``Transport.get`` has had its interface made more clear for ease of use.
3975
Retrieval of a directory must now fail with either 'PathError' at open
3976
time, or raise 'ReadError' on a read. (Robert Collins)
3978
* New method ``_maybe_expand_globs`` on the ``Command`` class for
3979
dealing with unexpanded glob lists - e.g. on the win32 platform. This
3980
was moved from ``bzrlib.add._prepare_file_list``. (Robert Collins)
3982
* ``bzrlib.add.smart_add`` and ``bzrlib.add.smart_add_tree`` are now
3983
deprecated in favour of ``MutableTree.smart_add``. (Robert Collins,
3986
* New method ``external_url`` on Transport for obtaining the url to
3987
hand to external processes. (Robert Collins)
3989
* Teach windows installers to build pyrex/C extensions.
3990
(Alexander Belchenko)
3994
* Removed the ``--keep-output`` option from selftest and clean up test
3995
directories as they're used. This reduces the IO load from
3996
running the test suite and cuts the time by about half.
3997
(Andrew Bennetts, Martin Pool)
3999
* Add scenarios as a public attribute on the TestAdapter classes to allow
4000
modification of the generated scenarios before adaption and easier
4001
testing. (Robert Collins)
4003
* New testing support class ``TestScenarioApplier`` which multiplies
4004
out a single teste by a list of supplied scenarios. (RobertCollins)
4006
* Setting ``repository_to_test_repository`` on a repository_implementations
4007
test will cause it to be called during repository creation, allowing the
4008
testing of repository classes which are not based around the Format
4009
concept. For example a repository adapter can be tested in this manner,
4010
by altering the repository scenarios to include a scenario that sets this
4011
attribute during the test parameterisation in
4012
``bzrlib.tests.repository.repository_implementations``. (Robert Collins)
4014
* Clean up many of the APIs for blackbox testing of Bazaar. The standard
4015
interface is now self.run_bzr. The command to run can be passed as
4016
either a list of parameters, a string containing the command line, or
4017
(deprecated) varargs parameters. (Martin Pool)
4019
* The base TestCase now isolates tests from -D parameters by clearing
4020
``debug.debug_flags`` and restores it afterwards. (Robert Collins)
4022
* Add a relpath parameter to get_transport methods in test framework to
4023
avoid useless cloning.
4024
(Vincent Ladeuil, #110448)
4028
--------------------
4032
* Fix crash of commit due to wrong lookup of filesystem encoding.
4033
(Colin Watson, #120647)
4035
* Revert logging just to stderr in commit as broke unicode filenames.

* The kind() and is_executable() APIs on the WorkingTree interface no
4045
longer implicitly (read) locks and unlocks the tree. This *might*
4046
impact some plug-ins and tools using this part of the API. If you find
4047
an issue that may be caused by this change, please let us know,
4048
particularly the plug-in/tool maintainer. If encountered, the API
4049
fix is to surround kind() and is_executable() calls with lock_read()
4050
and unlock() like so::
4052
work_tree.lock_read()
4054
kind = work_tree.kind(...)
4059
* Rework of LogFormatter API to provide beginning/end of log hooks and to
4060
encapsulate the details of the revision to be logged in a LogRevision
4062
In long log formats, merge revision ids are only shown when --show-ids
4063
is specified, and are labelled "revision-id:", as per mainline
4064
revisions, instead of "merged:". (Kent Gibson)
4066
* New ``BranchBuilder`` API which allows the construction of particular
4067
histories quickly. Useful for testing and potentially other applications
4068
too. (Robert Collins)
4072
* There are two new help topics, working-trees and repositories that
4073
attempt to explain these concepts. (James Westby, John Arbash Meinel,
4076
* Added ``bzr log --limit`` to report a limited number of revisions.
4077
(Kent Gibson, #3659)
4079
* Revert does not try to preserve file contents that were originally
4080
produced by reverting to a historical revision. (Aaron Bentley)
4082
* ``bzr log --short`` now includes ``[merge]`` for revisions which
4083
have more than one parent. This is a small improvement to help
4084
understanding what changes have occurred
4085
(John Arbash Meinel, #83887)
4087
* TreeTransform avoids many renames when contructing large trees,
4088
improving speed. 3.25x speedups have been observed for construction of
4089
kernel-sized-trees, and checkouts are 1.28x faster. (Aaron Bentley)
4091
* Commit on large trees is now faster. In my environment, a commit of
4092
a small change to the Mozilla tree (55k files) has dropped from
4093
66 seconds to 32 seconds. For a small tree of 600 files, commit of a
4094
small change is 33% faster. (Ian Clatworthy)
4096
* New --create-prefix option to bzr init, like for push. (Daniel Watkins,
4101
* ``bzr push`` should only connect to the remote location one time.
4102
We have been connecting 3 times because we forget to pass around
4103
the Transport object. This adds ``BzrDir.clone_on_transport()``, so
4104
that we can pass in the Transport that we already have.
4105
(John Arbash Meinel, #75721)
4107
* ``DirState.set_state_from_inventory()`` needs to properly order
4108
based on split paths, not just string paths.
4109
(John Arbash Meinel, #115947)
4111
* Let TestUIFactoy encode the password prompt with its own stdout.
4112
(Vincent Ladeuil, #110204)
4114
* pycurl should take use the range header that takes the range hint
4116
(Vincent Ladeuil, #112719)
4118
* WorkingTree4.get_file_sha1 no longer raises an exception when invoked
4119
on a missing file. (Aaron Bentley, #118186)
4121
* WorkingTree.remove works correctly with tree references, and when pwd is
4122
not the tree root. (Aaron Bentley)
4124
* Merge no longer fails when a file is renamed in one tree and deleted
4125
in the other. (Aaron Bentley, #110279)
4127
* ``revision-info`` now accepts dotted revnos, doesn't require a tree,
4128
and defaults to the last revision (Matthew Fuller, #90048)
4130
* Tests no longer fail when BZR_REMOTE_PATH is set in the environment.
4131
(Daniel Watkins, #111958)
4133
* ``bzr branch -r revid:foo`` can be used to branch any revision in
4134
your repository. (Previously Branch6 only supported revisions in your
4135
mainline). (John Arbash Meinel, #115343)
4138
--------------------
4142
* Handle when you have 2 directories with similar names, but one has a
4143
hyphen. (``'abc'`` versus ``'abc-2'``). The WT4._iter_changes
4144
iterator was using direct comparison and ``'abc/a'`` sorts after
4145
``'abc-2'``, but ``('abc', 'a')`` sorts before ``('abc-2',)``.
4146
(John Arbash Meinel, #111227)
4148
* Handle when someone renames a file on disk without telling bzr.
4149
Previously we would report the first file as missing, but not show
4150
the new unknown file. (John Arbash Meinel, #111288)
4152
* Avoid error when running hooks after pulling into or pushing from
4153
a branch bound to a smartserver branch. (Martin Pool, #111968)
4157
* Move developer documentation to doc/developers/. This reduces clutter in
4158
the root of the source tree and allows HACKING to be split into multiple
4159
files. (Robert Collins, Alexander Belchenko)
4161
* Clean up the ``WorkingTree4._iter_changes()`` internal loops as well as
4162
``DirState.update_entry()``. This optimizes the core logic for ``bzr
4163
diff`` and ``bzr status`` significantly improving the speed of
4164
both. (John Arbash Meinel)
4166
bzr 0.16rc2 2007-04-30
4167
-----------------------
4171
* Handle the case when you delete a file, and then rename another file
4172
on top of it. Also handle the case of ``bzr rm --keep foo``. ``bzr
4173
status`` should show the removed file and an unknown file in its
4174
place. (John Arbash Meinel, #109993)
4176
* Bundles properly read and write revision properties that have an
4177
empty value. And when the value is not ASCII.
4178
(John Arbash Meinel, #109613)
4180
* Fix the bzr commit message to be in text mode.
4181
(Alexander Belchenko, #110901)
4183
* Also handle when you rename a file and create a file where it used
4184
to be. (John Arbash Meinel, #110256)
4186
* ``WorkingTree4._iter_changes`` should not descend into unversioned
4187
directories. (John Arbash Meinel, #110399)
4189
bzr 0.16rc1 2007-04-26
4190
-----------------------
4192
NOTES WHEN UPGRADING:
4194
* ``bzr remove`` and ``bzr rm`` will now remove the working file, if
4195
it could be recovered again.
4196
This has been done for consistency with svn and the unix rm command.
4197
The old ``remove`` behaviour has been retained in the new option
4198
``bzr remove --keep``, which will just stop versioning the file,
4200
``bzr remove --force`` have been added which will always delete the
4202
``bzr remove`` is also more verbose.
4203
(Marius Kruger, #82602)
4207
* Merge directives can now be supplied as input to `merge` and `pull`,
4208
like bundles can. (Aaron Bentley)
4210
* Sending the SIGQUIT signal to bzr, which can be done on Unix by
4211
pressing Control-Backslash, drops bzr into a debugger. Type ``'c'``
4212
to continue. This can be disabled by setting the environment variable
4213
``BZR_SIGQUIT_PDB=0``. (Martin Pool)
4215
* selftest now supports --list-only to list tests instead of running
4216
them. (Ian Clatworthy)
4218
* selftest now supports --exclude PATTERN (or -x PATTERN) to exclude
4219
tests with names that match that regular expression.
4220
(Ian Clatworthy, #102679)
4222
* selftest now supports --randomize SEED to run tests in a random order.
4223
SEED is typically the value 'now' meaning 'use the current time'.
4224
(Ian Clatworthy, #102686)
4226
* New option ``--fixes`` to commit, which stores bug fixing annotations as
4227
revision properties. Built-in support for Launchpad, Debian, Trac and
4228
Bugzilla bug trackers. (Jonathan Lange, James Henstridge, Robert Collins)
4230
* New API, ``bzrlib.bugtracker.tracker_registry``, for adding support for
4231
other bug trackers to ``fixes``. (Jonathan Lange, James Henstridge,
4234
* ``selftest`` has new short options ``-f`` and ``-1``. (Martin
4237
* ``bzrlib.tsort.MergeSorter`` optimizations. Change the inner loop
4238
into using local variables instead of going through ``self._var``.
4239
Improves the time to ``merge_sort`` a 10k revision graph by
4240
approximately 40% (~700->400ms). (John Arbash Meinel)
4242
* ``make docs`` now creates a man page at ``man1/bzr.1`` fixing bug 107388.
4245
* ``bzr help`` now provides cross references to other help topics using
4246
the _see_also facility on command classes. Likewise the bzr_man
4247
documentation, and the bzr.1 man page also include this information.
4250
* Tags are now included in logs, that use the long log formatter.
4251
(Erik Bågfors, Alexander Belchenko)
4253
* ``bzr help`` provides a clearer message when a help topic cannot be
4254
found. (Robert Collins, #107656)
4256
* ``bzr help`` now accepts optional prefixes for command help. The help
4257
for all commands can now be found at ``bzr help commands/COMMANDNAME``
4258
as well as ``bzr help COMMANDNAME`` (which only works for commands
4259
where the name is not the same as a more general help topic).
4262
* ``bzr help PLUGINNAME`` will now return the module docstring from the
4263
plugin PLUGINNAME. (Robert Collins, #50408)
4265
* New help topic ``urlspec`` which lists the availables transports.
4266
(Goffredo Baroncelli)
4268
* doc/server.txt updated to document the default bzr:// port
4269
and also update the blurb about the hpss' current status.
4270
(Robert Collins, #107125).
4272
* ``bzr serve`` now listens on interface 0.0.0.0 by default, making it
4273
serve out to the local LAN (and anyone in the world that can reach the
4274
machine running ``bzr serve``. (Robert Collins, #98918)
4276
* A new smart server protocol version has been added. It prefixes requests
4277
and responses with an explicit version identifier so that future protocol
4278
revisions can be dealt with gracefully. (Andrew Bennetts, Robert Collins)
4280
* The bzr protocol version 2 indicates success or failure in every response
4281
without depending on particular commands encoding that consistently,
4282
allowing future client refactorings to be much more robust about error
4283
handling. (Robert Collins, Martin Pool, Andrew Bennetts)
4285
* The smart protocol over HTTP client has been changed to always post to the
4286
same ``.bzr/smart`` URL under the original location when it can. This allows
4287
HTTP servers to only have to pass URLs ending in .bzr/smart to the smart
4288
server handler, and not arbitrary ``.bzr/*/smart`` URLs. (Andrew Bennetts)
4290
* digest authentication is now supported for proxies and HTTP by the urllib
4291
based http implementation. Tested against Apache 2.0.55 and Squid
4292
2.6.5. Basic and digest authentication are handled coherently for HTTP
4293
and proxy: if the user is provided in the url (bzr command line for HTTP,
4294
proxy environment variables for proxies), the password is prompted for
4295
(only once). If the password is provided, it is taken into account. Once
4296
the first authentication is successful, all further authentication
4297
roundtrips are avoided by preventively setting the right authentication
4303
* bzrlib API compatability with 0.8 has been dropped, cleaning up some
4304
code paths. (Robert Collins)
4306
* Change the format of chroot urls so that they can be safely manipulated
4307
by generic url utilities without causing the resulting urls to have
4308
escaped the chroot. A side effect of this is that creating a chroot
4309
requires an explicit action using a ChrootServer.
4310
(Robert Collins, Andrew Bennetts)
4312
* Deprecate ``Branch.get_root_id()`` because branches don't have root ids,
4313
rather than fixing bug #96847. (Aaron Bentley)
4315
* ``WorkingTree.apply_inventory_delta`` provides a better alternative to
4316
``WorkingTree._write_inventory``. (Aaron Bentley)
4318
* Convenience method ``TestCase.expectFailure`` ensures that known failures
4319
do not silently pass. (Aaron Bentley)
4321
* ``Transport.local_abspath`` now raises ``NotLocalUrl`` rather than
4322
``TransportNotPossible``. (Martin Pool, Ian Clatworthy)
4324
* New SmartServer hooks facility. There are two initial hooks documented
4325
in ``bzrlib.transport.smart.SmartServerHooks``. The two initial hooks allow
4326
plugins to execute code upon server startup and shutdown.
4329
* SmartServer in standalone mode will now close its listening socket
4330
when it stops, rather than waiting for garbage collection. This primarily
4331
fixes test suite hangs when a test tries to connect to a shutdown server.
4332
It may also help improve behaviour when dealing with a server running
4333
on a specific port (rather than dynamically assigned ports).
4336
* Move most SmartServer code into a new package, bzrlib/smart.
4337
bzrlib/transport/remote.py contains just the Transport classes that used
4338
to be in bzrlib/transport/smart.py. (Andrew Bennetts)
4340
* urllib http implementation avoid roundtrips associated with
4341
401 (and 407) errors once the authentication succeeds.
4344
* urlib http now supports querying the user for a proxy password if
4345
needed. Realm is shown in the prompt for both HTTP and proxy
4346
authentication when the user is required to type a password.
4349
* Renamed SmartTransport (and subclasses like SmartTCPTransport) to
4350
RemoteTransport (and subclasses to RemoteTCPTransport, etc). This is more
4351
consistent with its new home in ``bzrlib/transport/remote.py``, and because
4352
it's not really a "smart" transport, just one that does file operations
4353
via remote procedure calls. (Andrew Bennetts)
4355
* The ``lock_write`` method of ``LockableFiles``, ``Repository`` and
4356
``Branch`` now accept a ``token`` keyword argument, so that separate
4357
instances of those objects can share a lock if it has the right token.
4358
(Andrew Bennetts, Robert Collins)
4360
* New method ``get_branch_reference`` on ``BzrDir`` allows the detection of
4361
branch references - which the smart server component needs.
4363
* The Repository API ``make_working_trees`` is now permitted to return
4364
False when ``set_make_working_trees`` is not implemented - previously
4365
an unimplemented ``set_make_working_trees`` implied the result True
4366
from ``make_working_trees``. This has been changed to accomodate the
4367
smart server, where it does not make sense (at this point) to ever
4368
make working trees by default. (Robert Collins)
4370
* Command objects can now declare related help topics by having _see_also
4371
set to a list of related topic. (Robert Collins)
4373
* ``bzrlib.help`` now delegates to the Command class for Command specific
4374
help. (Robert Collins)
4376
* New class ``TransportListRegistry``, derived from the Registry class, which
4377
simplifies tracking the available Transports. (Goffredo Baroncelli)
4379
* New function ``Branch.get_revision_id_to_revno_map`` which will
4380
return a dictionary mapping revision ids to dotted revnos. Since
4381
dotted revnos are defined in the context of the branch tip, it makes
4382
sense to generate them from a ``Branch`` object.
4383
(John Arbash Meinel)
4385
* Fix the 'Unprintable error' message display to use the repr of the
4386
exception that prevented printing the error because the str value
4387
for it is often not useful in debugging (e.g. KeyError('foo') has a
4388
str() of 'foo' but a repr of 'KeyError('foo')' which is much more
4389
useful. (Robert Collins)
4391
* ``urlutils.normalize_url`` now unescapes unreserved characters, such as "~".
4396
* Don't fail bundle selftest if email has 'two' embedded.
4397
(Ian Clatworthy, #98510)
4399
* Remove ``--verbose`` from ``bzr bundle``. It didn't work anyway.
4400
(Robert Widhopf-Fenk, #98591)
4402
* Remove ``--basis`` from the checkout/branch commands - it didn't work
4403
properly and is no longer beneficial.
4404
(Robert Collins, #53675, #43486)
4406
* Don't produce encoding error when adding duplicate files.
4409
* Fix ``bzr log <file>`` so it only logs the revisions that changed
4410
the file, and does it faster.
4411
(Kent Gibson, John Arbash Meinel, #51980, #69477)
4413
* Fix ``InterDirstateTre._iter_changes`` to handle when we come across
4414
an empty versioned directory, which now has files in it.
4415
(John Arbash Meinel, #104257)
4417
* Teach ``common_ancestor`` to shortcut when the tip of one branch is
4418
inside the ancestry of the other. Saves a lot of graph processing
4419
(with an ancestry of 16k revisions, ``bzr merge ../already-merged``
4420
changes from 2m10s to 13s). (John Arbash Meinel, #103757)
4422
* Fix ``show_diff_trees`` to handle the case when a file is modified,
4423
and the containing directory is renamed. (The file path is different
4424
in this versus base, but it isn't marked as a rename).
4425
(John Arbash Meinel, #103870)
4427
* FTP now works even when the FTP server does not support atomic rename.
4428
(Aaron Bentley, #89436)
4430
* Correct handling in bundles and merge directives of timezones with
4431
that are not an integer number of hours offset from UTC. Always
4432
represent the epoch time in UTC to avoid problems with formatting
4433
earlier times on win32. (Martin Pool, Alexander Belchenko, John
4436
* Typo in the help for ``register-branch`` fixed. (Robert Collins, #96770)
4438
* "dirstate" and "dirstate-tags" formats now produce branches compatible
4439
with old versions of bzr. (Aaron Bentley, #107168))
4441
* Handle moving a directory when children have been added, removed,
4442
and renamed. (John Arbash Meinel, #105479)
4444
* Don't preventively use basic authentication for proxy before receiving a
4445
407 error. Otherwise people willing to use other authentication schemes
4446
may expose their password in the clear (or nearly). This add one
4447
roundtrip in case basic authentication should be used, but plug the
4451
* Handle http and proxy digest authentication.
4452
(Vincent Ladeuil, #94034).
4456
* Added ``bzrlib.strace.strace`` which will strace a single callable and
4457
return a StraceResult object which contains just the syscalls involved
4458
in running it. (Robert Collins)
4460
* New test method ``reduceLockdirTimeout`` to drop the default (ui-centric)
4461
default time down to one suitable for tests. (Andrew Bennetts)
4463
* Add new ``vfs_transport_factory`` attribute on tests which provides the
4464
common vfs backing for both the readonly and readwrite transports.
4465
This allows the RemoteObject tests to back onto local disk or memory,
4466
and use the existing ``transport_server`` attribute all tests know about
4467
to be the smart server transport. This in turn allows tests to
4468
differentiate between 'transport to access the branch', and
4469
'transport which is a VFS' - which matters in Remote* tests.
4470
(Robert Collins, Andrew Bennetts)
4472
* The ``make_branch_and_tree`` method for tests will now create a
4473
lightweight checkout for the tree if the ``vfs_transport_factory`` is not
4474
a LocalURLServer. (Robert Collins, Andrew Bennetts)
4476
* Branch implementation tests have been audited to ensure that all urls
4477
passed to Branch APIs use proper urls, except when local-disk paths
4478
are intended. This is so that tests correctly access the test transport
4479
which is often not equivalent to local disk in Remote* tests. As part
4480
of this many tests were adjusted to remove dependencies on local disk
4482
(Robert Collins, Andrew Bennetts)
4484
* Mark bzrlib.tests and bzrlib.tests.TestUtil as providing assertFOO helper
4485
functions by adding a ``__unittest`` global attribute. (Robert Collins,
4486
Andrew Bennetts, Martin Pool, Jonathan Lange)
4488
* Refactored proxy and authentication handling to simplify the
4489
implementation of new auth schemes for both http and proxy.
4497
* Handle incompatible repositories as a user issue when fetching.
4500
* Don't give a recommendation to upgrade when branching or
4501
checking out a branch that contains an old-format working tree.
4504
bzr 0.15rc3 2007-03-26
4505
-----------------------
4509
* A warning is now displayed when opening working trees in older
4510
formats, to encourage people to upgrade to WorkingTreeFormat4.
4515
* HTTP redirections are now taken into account when a branch (or a
4516
bundle) is accessed for the first time. A message is issued at each
4517
redirection to inform the user. In the past, http redirections were
4518
silently followed for each request which significantly degraded the
4519
performances. The http redirections are not followed anymore by
4520
default, instead a RedirectRequested exception is raised. For bzrlib
4521
users needing to follow http redirections anyway,
4522
``bzrlib.transport.do_catching_redirections`` provide an easy transition
4527
* Added ``ReadLock.temporary_write_lock()`` to allow upgrading an OS read
4528
lock to an OS write lock. Linux can do this without unlocking, Win32
4529
needs to unlock in between. (John Arbash Meinel)
4531
* New parameter ``recommend_upgrade`` to ``BzrDir.open_workingtree``
4532
to silence (when false) warnings about opening old formats.
4535
* Fix minor performance regression with bzr-0.15 on pre-dirstate
4536
trees. (We were reading the working inventory too many times).
4537
(John Arbash Meinel)
4539
* Remove ``Branch.get_transaction()`` in favour of a simple cache of
4540
``revision_history``. Branch subclasses should override
4541
``_gen_revision_history`` rather than ``revision_history`` to make use of
4542
this cache, and call ``_clear_revision_history_cache`` and
4543
``_cache_revision_history`` at appropriate times. (Andrew Bennetts)
4547
* Take ``smtp_server`` from user config into account.
4550
* Restore Unicode filename handling for versioned and unversioned files.
4551
(John Arbash Meinel, #92608)
4553
* Don't fail during ``bzr commit`` if a file is marked removed, and
4554
the containing directory is auto-removed. (John Arbash Meinel, #93681)
4556
* ``bzr status FILENAME`` failed on Windows because of an uncommon
4557
errno. (``ERROR_DIRECTORY == 267 != ENOTDIR``).
4558
(Wouter van Heyst, John Arbash Meinel, #90819)
4560
* ``bzr checkout source`` should create a local branch in the same
4561
format as source. (John Arbash Meinel, #93854)
4563
* ``bzr commit`` with a kind change was failing to update the
4564
last-changed-revision for directories. The
4565
InventoryDirectory._unchanged only looked at the ``parent_id`` and name,
4566
ignoring the fact that the kind could have changed, too.
4567
(John Arbash Meinel, #90111)
4569
* ``bzr mv dir/subdir other`` was incorrectly updating files inside
4570
the directory. So that there was a chance it would break commit,
4571
etc. (John Arbash Meinel, #94037)
4573
* Correctly handles mutiple permanent http redirections.
4576
bzr 0.15rc2 2007-03-14
4577
-----------------------
4579
NOTES WHEN UPGRADING:
4581
* Release 0.15rc2 of bzr changes the ``bzr init-repo`` command to
4582
default to ``--trees`` instead of ``--no-trees``.
4583
Existing shared repositories are not affected.
4587
* New ``merge-directive`` command to generate machine- and human-readable
4588
merge requests. (Aaron Bentley)
4590
* New ``submit:`` revision specifier makes it easy to diff against the
4591
common ancestor with the submit location (Aaron Bentley)
4593
* Added support for Putty's SSH implementation. (Dmitry Vasiliev)
4595
* Added ``bzr status --versioned`` to report only versioned files,
4596
not unknowns. (Kent Gibson)
4598
* Merge now autodetects the correct line-ending style for its conflict
4599
markers. (Aaron Bentley)
4603
* Refactored SSH vendor registration into SSHVendorManager class.
4608
* New ``--numbered-dirs`` option to ``bzr selftest`` to use
4609
numbered dirs for TestCaseInTempDir. This is default behavior
4610
on Windows. Anyone can force named dirs on Windows
4611
with ``--no-numbered-dirs``. (Alexander Belchenko)
4613
* Fix ``RevisionSpec_revid`` to handle the Unicode strings passed in
4614
from the command line. (Marien Zwart, #90501)
4616
* Fix ``TreeTransform._iter_changes`` when both the source and
4617
destination are missing. (Aaron Bentley, #88842)
4619
* Fix commit of merges with symlinks in dirstate trees.
4622
* Switch the ``bzr init-repo`` default from --no-trees to --trees.
4623
(Wouter van Heyst, #53483)
4626
bzr 0.15rc1 2007-03-07
4627
-----------------------
4631
* The default disk format has changed. Please run 'bzr upgrade' in your
4632
working trees to upgrade. This new default is compatible for network
4633
operations, but not for local operations. That is, if you have two
4634
versions of bzr installed locally, after upgrading you can only use the
4635
bzr 0.15 version. This new default does not enable tags or nested-trees
4636
as they are incompatible with bzr versions before 0.15 over the network.
4638
* For users of bzrlib: Two major changes have been made to the working tree
4639
api in bzrlib. The first is that many methods and attributes, including
4640
the inventory attribute, are no longer valid for use until one of
4641
``lock_read``/``lock_write``/``lock_tree_write`` has been called,
4642
and become invalid again after unlock is called. This has been done
4643
to improve performance and correctness as part of the dirstate
4645
(Robert Collins, John A Meinel, Martin Pool, and others).
4647
* For users of bzrlib: The attribute 'tree.inventory' should be considered
4648
readonly. Previously it was possible to directly alter this attribute, or
4649
its contents, and have the tree notice this. This has been made
4650
unsupported - it may work in some tree formats, but in the newer dirstate
4651
format such actions will have no effect and will be ignored, or even
4652
cause assertions. All operations possible can still be carried out by a
4653
combination of the tree API, and the bzrlib.transform API. (Robert
4654
Collins, John A Meinel, Martin Pool, and others).
4658
* Support for OS Windows 98. Also .bzr.log on any windows system
4659
saved in My Documents folder. (Alexander Belchenko)
4661
* ``bzr mv`` enhanced to support already moved files.
4662
In the past the mv command would have failed if the source file doesn't
4663
exist. In this situation ``bzr mv`` would now detect that the file has
4664
already moved and update the repository accordingly, if the target file
4666
A new option ``--after`` has been added so that if two files already
4667
exist, you could notify Bazaar that you have moved a (versioned) file
4668
and replaced it with another. Thus in this case ``bzr move --after``
4669
will only update the Bazaar identifier.
4670
(Steffen Eichenberg, Marius Kruger)
4672
* ``ls`` now works on treeless branches and remote branches.
4675
* ``bzr help global-options`` describes the global options.
4678
* ``bzr pull --overwrite`` will now correctly overwrite checkouts.
4681
* Files are now allowed to change kind (e.g. from file to symlink).
4682
Supported by ``commit``, ``revert`` and ``status``
4685
* ``inventory`` and ``unknowns`` hidden in favour of ``ls``
4688
* ``bzr help checkouts`` descibes what checkouts are and some possible
4689
uses of them. (James Westby, Aaron Bentley)
4691
* A new ``-d`` option to push, pull and merge overrides the default
4692
directory. (Martin Pool)
4694
* Branch format 6: smaller, and potentially faster than format 5. Supports
4695
``append_history_only`` mode, where the log view and revnos do not change,
4696
except by being added to. Stores policy settings in
4697
".bzr/branch/branch.conf".
4699
* ``append_only`` branches: Format 6 branches may be configured so that log
4700
view and revnos are always consistent. Either create the branch using
4701
"bzr init --append-revisions-only" or edit the config file as descriped
4702
in docs/configuration.txt.
4704
* rebind: Format 6 branches retain the last-used bind location, so if you
4705
"bzr unbind", you can "bzr bind" to bind to the previously-selected
4708
* Builtin tags support, created and deleted by the ``tag`` command and
4709
stored in the branch. Tags can be accessed with the revisionspec
4710
``-rtag:``, and listed with ``bzr tags``. Tags are not versioned
4711
at present. Tags require a network incompatible upgrade. To perform this
4712
upgrade, run ``bzr upgrade --dirstate-tags`` in your branch and
4713
repositories. (Martin Pool)
4715
* The ``bzr://`` transport now has a well-known port number, 4155,
4716
which it will use by default. (Andrew Bennetts, Martin Pool)
4718
* Bazaar now looks for user-installed plugins before looking for site-wide
4719
plugins. (Jonathan Lange)
4721
* ``bzr resolve`` now detects and marks resolved text conflicts.
4726
* Internally revision ids and file ids are now passed around as utf-8
4727
bytestrings, rather than treating them as Unicode strings. This has
4728
performance benefits for Knits, since we no longer need to decode the
4729
revision id for each line of content, nor for each entry in the index.
4730
This will also help with the future dirstate format.
4731
(John Arbash Meinel)
4733
* Reserved ids (any revision-id ending in a colon) are rejected by
4734
versionedfiles, repositories, branches, and working trees
4737
* Minor performance improvement by not creating a ProgressBar for
4738
every KnitIndex we create. (about 90ms for a bzr.dev tree)
4739
(John Arbash Meinel)
4741
* New easier to use Branch hooks facility. There are five initial hooks,
4742
all documented in bzrlib.branch.BranchHooks.__init__ - ``'set_rh'``,
4743
``'post_push'``, ``'post_pull'``, ``'post_commit'``,
4744
``'post_uncommit'``. These hooks fire after the matching operation
4745
on a branch has taken place, and were originally added for the
4746
branchrss plugin. (Robert Collins)
4748
* New method ``Branch.push()`` which should be used when pushing from a
4749
branch as it makes performance and policy decisions to match the UI
4750
level command ``push``. (Robert Collins).
4752
* Add a new method ``Tree.revision_tree`` which allows access to cached
4753
trees for arbitrary revisions. This allows the in development dirstate
4754
tree format to provide access to the callers to cached copies of
4755
inventory data which are cheaper to access than inventories from the
4757
(Robert Collins, Martin Pool)
4759
* New ``Branch.last_revision_info`` method, this is being done to allow
4760
optimization of requests for both the number of revisions and the last
4761
revision of a branch with smartservers and potentially future branch
4762
formats. (Wouter van Heyst, Robert Collins)
4764
* Allow ``'import bzrlib.plugins.NAME'`` to work when the plugin NAME has not
4765
yet been loaded by ``load_plugins()``. This allows plugins to depend on each
4766
other for code reuse without requiring users to perform file-renaming
4767
gymnastics. (Robert Collins)
4769
* New Repository method ``'gather_stats'`` for statistic data collection.
4770
This is expected to grow to cover a number of related uses mainly
4771
related to bzr info. (Robert Collins)
4773
* Log formatters are now managed with a registry.
4774
``log.register_formatter`` continues to work, but callers accessing
4775
the FORMATTERS dictionary directly will not.
4777
* Allow a start message to be passed to the ``edit_commit_message``
4778
function. This will be placed in the message offered to the user
4779
for editing above the separator. It allows a template commit message
4780
to be used more easily. (James Westby)
4782
* ``GPGStrategy.sign()`` will now raise ``BzrBadParameterUnicode`` if
4783
you pass a Unicode string rather than an 8-bit string. Callers need
4784
to be updated to encode first. (John Arbash Meinel)
4786
* Branch.push, pull, merge now return Result objects with information
4787
about what happened, rather than a scattering of various methods. These
4788
are also passed to the post hooks. (Martin Pool)
4790
* File formats and architecture is in place for managing a forest of trees
4791
in bzr, and splitting up existing trees into smaller subtrees, and
4792
finally joining trees to make a larger tree. This is the first iteration
4793
of this support, and the user-facing aspects still require substantial
4794
work. If you wish to experiment with it, use ``bzr upgrade
4795
--dirstate-with-subtree`` in your working trees and repositories.
4796
You can use the hidden commands ``split`` and ``join`` and to create
4797
and manipulate nested trees, but please consider using the nested-trees
4798
branch, which contains substantial UI improvements, instead.
4799
http://code.aaronbentley.com/bzr/bzrrepo/nested-trees/
4800
(Aaron Bentley, Martin Pool, Robert Collins).
4804
* ``bzr annotate`` now uses dotted revnos from the viewpoint of the
4805
branch, rather than the last changed revision of the file.
4806
(John Arbash Meinel, #82158)
4808
* Lock operations no longer hang if they encounter a permission problem.
4811
* ``bzr push`` can resume a push that was canceled before it finished.
4812
Also, it can push even if the target directory exists if you supply
4813
the ``--use-existing-dir`` flag.
4814
(John Arbash Meinel, #30576, #45504)
4816
* Fix http proxy authentication when user and an optional
4817
password appears in the ``*_proxy`` vars. (Vincent Ladeuil,
4820
* ``bzr log branch/file`` works for local treeless branches
4821
(Aaron Bentley, #84247)
4823
* Fix problem with UNC paths on Windows 98. (Alexander Belchenko, #84728)
4825
* Searching location of CA bundle for PyCurl in env variable
4826
(``CURL_CA_BUNDLE``), and on win32 along the PATH.
4827
(Alexander Belchenko, #82086)
4829
* ``bzr init`` works with unicode argument LOCATION.
4830
(Alexander Belchenko, #85599)
4832
* Raise ``DependencyNotPresent`` if pycurl do not support https.
4833
(Vincent Ladeuil, #85305)
4835
* Invalid proxy env variables should not cause a traceback.
4836
(Vincent Ladeuil, #87765)
4838
* Ignore patterns normalised to use '/' path separator.
4839
(Kent Gibson, #86451)
4841
* bzr rocks. It sure does! Fix case. (Vincent Ladeuil, #78026)
4843
* Fix bzrtools shelve command for removed lines beginning with "--"
4844
(Johan Dahlberg, #75577)
4848
* New ``--first`` option to ``bzr selftest`` to run specified tests
4849
before the rest of the suite. (Martin Pool)
4853
--------------------
4857
* ``bzr help global-options`` describes the global options. (Aaron Bentley)
4861
* Skip documentation generation tests if the tools to do so are not
4862
available. Fixes running selftest for installled copies of bzr.
4863
(John Arbash Meinel, #80330)
4865
* Fix the code that discovers whether bzr is being run from it's
4866
working tree to handle the case when it isn't but the directory
4867
it is in is below a repository. (James Westby, #77306)
4870
bzr 0.14rc1 2007-01-16
4871
-----------------------
4875
* New connection: ``bzr+http://`` which supports tunnelling the smart
4876
protocol over an HTTP connection. If writing is enabled on the bzr
4877
server, then you can write over the http connection.
4878
(Andrew Bennetts, John Arbash Meinel)
4880
* Aliases now support quotation marks, so they can contain whitespace
4883
* PyCurlTransport now use a single curl object. By specifying explicitly
4884
the 'Range' header, we avoid the need to use two different curl objects
4885
(and two connections to the same server). (Vincent Ladeuil)
4887
* ``bzr commit`` does not prompt for a message until it is very likely to
4888
succeed. (Aaron Bentley)
4890
* ``bzr conflicts`` now takes --text to list pathnames of text conflicts
4893
* Fix ``iter_lines_added_or_present_in_versions`` to use a set instead
4894
of a list while checking if a revision id was requested. Takes 10s
4895
off of the ``fileids_affected_by_revision_ids`` time, which is 10s
4896
of the ``bzr branch`` time. Also improve ``fileids_...`` time by
4897
filtering lines with a regex rather than multiple ``str.find()``
4898
calls. (saves another 300ms) (John Arbash Meinel)
4900
* Policy can be set for each configuration key. This allows keys to be
4901
inherited properly across configuration entries. For example, this
4902
should enable you to do::
4904
[/home/user/project]
4905
push_location = sftp://host/srv/project/
4906
push_location:policy = appendpath
4908
And then a branch like ``/home/user/project/mybranch`` should get an
4909
automatic push location of ``sftp://host/srv/project/mybranch``.
4912
* Added ``bzr status --short`` to make status report svn style flags
4913
for each file. For example::
4915
$ bzr status --short
4921
* 'bzr selftest --clean-output' allows easily clean temporary tests
4922
directories without running tests. (Alexander Belchenko)
4924
* ``bzr help hidden-commands`` lists all hidden commands. (Aaron Bentley)
4926
* ``bzr merge`` now has an option ``--pull`` to fall back to pull if
4927
local is fully merged into remote. (Jan Hudec)
4929
* ``bzr help formats`` describes available directory formats. (Aaron Bentley)
4933
* A few tweaks directly to ``fileids_affected_by_revision_ids`` to
4934
help speed up processing, as well allowing to extract unannotated
4935
lines. Between the two ``fileids_affected_by_revision_ids`` is
4936
improved by approx 10%. (John Arbash Meinel)
4938
* Change Revision serialization to only write out millisecond
4939
resolution. Rather than expecting floating point serialization to
4940
preserve more resolution than we need. (Henri Weichers, Martin Pool)
4942
* Test suite ends cleanly on Windows. (Vincent Ladeuil)
4944
* When ``encoding_type`` attribute of class Command is equal to 'exact',
4945
force sys.stdout to be a binary stream on Windows, and therefore
4946
keep exact line-endings (without LF -> CRLF conversion).
4947
(Alexander Belchenko)
4949
* Single-letter short options are no longer globally declared. (Martin
4952
* Before using detected user/terminal encoding bzr should check
4953
that Python has corresponding codec. (Alexander Belchenko)
4955
* Formats for end-user selection are provided via a FormatRegistry (Aaron Bentley)
4959
* ``bzr missing --verbose`` was showing adds/removals in the wrong
4960
direction. (John Arbash Meinel)
4962
* ``bzr annotate`` now defaults to showing dotted revnos for merged
4963
revisions. It cuts them off at a depth of 12 characters, but you can
4964
supply ``--long`` to see the full number. You can also use
4965
``--show-ids`` to display the original revision ids, rather than
4966
revision numbers and committer names. (John Arbash Meinel, #75637)
4968
* bzr now supports Win32 UNC path (e.g. ``\HOST\path``.
4969
(Alexander Belchenko, #57869)
4971
* Win32-specific: output of cat, bundle and diff commands don't mangle
4972
line-endings (Alexander Belchenko, #55276)
4974
* Replace broken fnmatch based ignore pattern matching with custom pattern
4976
(Kent Gibson, Jan Hudec #57637)
4978
* pycurl and urllib can detect short reads at different places. Update
4979
the test suite to test more cases. Also detect http error code 416
4980
which was raised for that specific bug. Also enhance the urllib
4981
robustness by detecting invalid ranges (and pycurl's one by detecting
4982
short reads during the initial GET). (Vincent Ladeuil, #73948)
4984
* The urllib connection sharing interacts badly with urllib2
4985
proxy setting (the connections didn't go thru the proxy
4986
anymore). Defining a proper ProxyHandler solves the
4987
problem. (Vincent Ladeuil, #74759)
4989
* Use urlutils to generate relative URLs, not osutils
4990
(Aaron Bentley, #76229)
4992
* ``bzr status`` in a readonly directory should work without giving
4993
lots of errors. (John Arbash Meinel, #76299)
4995
* Mention the revisionspec topic for the revision option help.
4996
(Wouter van Heyst, #31663)
4998
* Allow plugins import from zip archives.
4999
(Alexander Belchenko, #68124)
5003
--------------------
5005
No changes from 0.13rc1
5007
bzr 0.13rc1 2006-11-27
5008
-----------------------
5012
* New command ``bzr remove-tree`` allows the removal of the working
5014
(Daniel Silverstone)
5016
* urllib uses shared keep-alive connections, so http
5017
operations are substantially faster.
5018
(Vincent Ladeuil, #53654)
5020
* ``bzr export`` allows an optional branch parameter, to export a bzr
5021
tree from some other url. For example:
5022
``bzr export bzr.tar.gz http://bazaar-vcs.org/bzr/bzr.dev``
5023
(Daniel Silverstone)
5025
* Added ``bzr help topics`` to the bzr help system. This gives a
5026
location for general information, outside of a specific command.
5027
This includes updates for ``bzr help revisionspec`` the first topic
5028
included. (Goffredo Baroncelli, John Arbash Meinel, #42714)
5030
* WSGI-compatible HTTP smart server. See ``doc/http_smart_server.txt``.
5033
* Knit files will now cache full texts only when the size of the
5034
deltas is as large as the size of the fulltext. (Or after 200
5035
deltas, whichever comes first). This has the most benefit on large
5036
files with small changes, such as the inventory for a large project.
5037
(eg For a project with 2500 files, and 7500 revisions, it changes
5038
the size of inventory.knit from 11MB to 5.4MB) (John Arbash Meinel)
5042
* New -D option given before the command line turns on debugging output
5043
for particular areas. -Derror shows tracebacks on all errors.
5046
* Clean up ``bzr selftest --benchmark bundle`` to correct an import,
5047
and remove benchmarks that take longer than 10min to run.
5048
(John Arbash Meinel)
5050
* Use ``time.time()`` instead of ``time.clock()`` to decide on
5051
progress throttling. Because ``time.clock()`` is actually CPU time,
5052
so over a high-latency connection, too many updates get throttled.
5053
(John Arbash Meinel)
5055
* ``MemoryTransport.list_dir()`` would strip the first character for
5056
files or directories in root directory. (John Arbash Meinel)
5058
* New method ``get_branch_reference`` on 'BzrDir' allows the detection of
5059
branch references - which the smart server component needs.
5061
* New ``ChrootTransportDecorator``, accessible via the ``chroot+`` url
5062
prefix. It disallows any access to locations above a set URL. (Andrew
5067
* Now ``_KnitIndex`` properly decode revision ids when loading index data.
5068
And optimize the knit index parsing code.
5069
(Dmitry Vasiliev, John Arbash Meinel)
5071
* ``bzrlib/bzrdir.py`` was directly referencing ``bzrlib.workingtree``,
5072
without importing it. This prevented ``bzr upgrade`` from working
5073
unless a plugin already imported ``bzrlib.workingtree``
5074
(John Arbash Meinel, #70716)
5076
* Suppress the traceback on invalid URLs (Vincent Ladeuil, #70803).
5078
* Give nicer error message when an http server returns a 403
5079
error code. (Vincent Ladeuil, #57644).
5081
* When a multi-range http GET request fails, try a single
5082
range one. If it fails too, forget about ranges. Remember that until
5083
the death of the transport and propagates that to the clones.
5084
(Vincent Ladeuil, #62276, #62029).
5086
* Handles user/passwords supplied in url from command
5087
line (for the urllib implementation). Don't request already
5088
known passwords (Vincent Ladeuil, #42383, #44647, #48527)
5090
* ``_KnitIndex.add_versions()`` dictionary compresses revision ids as they
5091
are added. This fixes bug where fetching remote revisions records
5092
them as full references rather than integers.
5093
(John Arbash Meinel, #64789)
5095
* ``bzr ignore`` strips trailing slashes in patterns.
5096
Also ``bzr ignore`` rejects absolute paths. (Kent Gibson, #4559)
5098
* ``bzr ignore`` takes multiple arguments. (Cheuksan Edward Wang, #29488)
5100
* mv correctly handles paths that traverse symlinks.
5101
(Aaron Bentley, #66964)
5103
* Give nicer looking error messages when failing to connect over ssh.
5104
(John Arbash Meinel, #49172)
5106
* Pushing to a remote branch does not currently update the remote working
5107
tree. After a remote push, ``bzr status`` and ``bzr diff`` on the remote
5108
machine now show that the working tree is out of date.
5109
(Cheuksan Edward Wang #48136)
5111
* Use patiencediff instead of difflib for determining deltas to insert
5112
into knits. This avoids the O(N^3) behavior of difflib. Patience
5113
diff should be O(N^2). (Cheuksan Edward Wang, #65714)
5115
* Running ``bzr log`` on nonexistent file gives an error instead of the
5116
entire log history. (Cheuksan Edward Wang #50793)
5118
* ``bzr cat`` can look up contents of removed or renamed files. If the
5119
pathname is ambiguous, i.e. the files in the old and new trees have
5120
different id's, the default is the file in the new tree. The user can
5121
use "--name-from-revision" to select the file in the old tree.
5122
(Cheuksan Edward Wang, #30190)
5126
* TestingHTTPRequestHandler really handles the Range header
5127
(previously it was ignoring it and returning the whole file,).
5130
--------------------
5134
* Clean up ``bzr selftest --benchmark bundle`` to correct an import,
5135
and remove benchmarks that take longer than 10min to run.
5136
(John Arbash Meinel)
5138
bzr 0.12rc1 2006-10-23
5139
-----------------------
5143
* ``bzr log`` now shows dotted-decimal revision numbers for all revisions,
5144
rather than just showing a decimal revision number for revisions on the
5145
mainline. These revision numbers are not yet accepted as input into bzr
5146
commands such as log, diff etc. (Robert Collins)
5148
* revisions can now be specified using dotted-decimal revision numbers.
5149
For instance, ``bzr diff -r 1.2.1..1.2.3``. (Robert Collins)
5151
* ``bzr help commands`` output is now shorter (Aaron Bentley)
5153
* ``bzr`` now uses lazy importing to reduce the startup time. This has
5154
a moderate effect on lots of actions, especially ones that have
5155
little to do. For example ``bzr rocks`` time is down to 116ms from
5156
283ms. (John Arbash Meinel)
5158
* New Registry class to provide name-to-object registry-like support,
5159
for example for schemes where plugins can register new classes to
5160
do certain tasks (e.g. log formatters). Also provides lazy registration
5161
to allow modules to be loaded on request.
5162
(John Arbash Meinel, Adeodato Simó)
5164
API INCOMPATABILITY:
5166
* LogFormatter subclasses show now expect the 'revno' parameter to
5167
show() to be a string rather than an int. (Robert Collins)
5171
* ``TestCase.run_bzr``, ``run_bzr_captured``, and ``run_bzr_subprocess``
5172
can take a ``working_dir='foo'`` parameter, which will change directory
5173
for the command. (John Arbash Meinel)
5175
* ``bzrlib.lazy_regex.lazy_compile`` can be used to create a proxy
5176
around a regex, which defers compilation until first use.
5177
(John Arbash Meinel)
5179
* ``TestCase.run_bzr_subprocess`` defaults to supplying the
5180
``--no-plugins`` parameter to ensure test reproducability, and avoid
5181
problems with system-wide installed plugins. (John Arbash Meinel)
5183
* Unique tree root ids are now supported. Newly created trees still
5184
use the common root id for compatibility with bzr versions before 0.12.
5187
* ``WorkingTree.set_root_id(None)`` is now deprecated. Please
5188
pass in ``inventory.ROOT_ID`` if you want the default root id value.
5189
(Robert Collins, John Arbash Meinel)
5191
* New method ``WorkingTree.flush()`` which will write the current memory
5192
inventory out to disk. At the same time, ``read_working_inventory`` will
5193
no longer trash the current tree inventory if it has been modified within
5194
the current lock, and the tree will now ``flush()`` automatically on
5195
``unlock()``. ``WorkingTree.set_root_id()`` has been updated to take
5196
advantage of this functionality. (Robert Collins, John Arbash Meinel)
5198
* ``bzrlib.tsort.merge_sorted`` now accepts ``generate_revnos``. This
5199
parameter will cause it to add another column to its output, which
5200
contains the dotted-decimal revno for each revision, as a tuple.
5203
* ``LogFormatter.show_merge`` is deprecated in favour of
5204
``LogFormatter.show_merge_revno``. (Robert Collins)
5208
* Avoid circular imports by creating a deprecated function for
5209
``bzrlib.tree.RevisionTree``. Callers should have been using
5210
``bzrlib.revisontree.RevisionTree`` anyway. (John Arbash Meinel,
5213
* Don't use ``socket.MSG_WAITALL`` as it doesn't exist on all
5214
platforms. (Martin Pool, #66356)
5216
* Don't require ``Content-Type`` in range responses. Assume they are a
5217
single range if ``Content-Type`` does not exist.
5218
(John Arbash Meinel, #62473)
5220
* bzr branch/pull no longer complain about progress bar cleanup when
5221
interrupted during fetch. (Aaron Bentley, #54000)
5223
* ``WorkingTree.set_parent_trees()`` uses the trees to directly write
5224
the basis inventory, rather than going through the repository. This
5225
allows us to have 1 inventory read, and 2 inventory writes when
5226
committing a new tree. (John Arbash Meinel)
5228
* When reverting, files that are not locally modified that do not exist
5229
in the target are deleted, not just unversioned (Aaron Bentley)
5231
* When trying to acquire a lock, don't fail immediately. Instead, try
5232
a few times (up to 1 hour) before timing out. Also, report why the
5233
lock is unavailable (John Arbash Meinel, #43521, #49556)
5235
* Leave HttpTransportBase daughter classes decides how they
5236
implement cloning. (Vincent Ladeuil, #61606)
5238
* diff3 does not indicate conflicts on clean merge. (Aaron Bentley)
5240
* If a commit fails, the commit message is stored in a file at the root of
5241
the tree for later commit. (Cheuksan Edward Wang, Stefan Metzmacher,
5246
* New test base class TestCaseWithMemoryTransport offers memory-only
5247
testing facilities: its not suitable for tests that need to mutate disk
5248
state, but most tests should not need that and should be converted to
5249
TestCaseWithMemoryTransport. (Robert Collins)
5251
* ``TestCase.make_branch_and_memory_tree`` now takes a format
5252
option to set the BzrDir, Repository and Branch formats of the
5253
created objects. (Robert Collins, John Arbash Meinel)
5256
--------------------
5258
* Smart server transport test failures on windows fixed. (Lukáš Lalinský).
5260
bzr 0.11rc2 2006-09-27
5261
-----------------------
5265
* Test suite hangs on windows fixed. (Andrew Bennets, Alexander Belchenko).
5267
* Commit performance regression fixed. (Aaron Bentley, Robert Collins, John
5270
bzr 0.11rc1 2006-09-25
5271
-----------------------
5275
* Knit files now wait to create their contents until the first data is
5276
added. The old code used to create an empty .knit and a .kndx with just
5277
the header. However, this caused a lot of extra round trips over sftp.
5278
This can change the time for ``bzr push`` to create a new remote branch
5279
from 160s down to 100s. This also affects ``bzr commit`` performance when
5280
adding new files, ``bzr commit`` on a new kernel-like tree drops from 50s
5281
down to 40s (John Arbash Meinel, #44692)
5283
* When an entire subtree has been deleted, commit will now report that
5284
just the top of the subtree has been deleted, rather than reporting
5285
all the individual items. (Robert Collins)
5287
* Commit performs one less XML parse. (Robert Collins)
5289
* ``bzr checkout`` now operates on readonly branches as well
5290
as readwrite branches. This fixes bug #39542. (Robert Collins)
5292
* ``bzr bind`` no longer synchronises history with the master branch.
5293
Binding should be followed by an update or push to synchronise the
5294
two branches. This is closely related to the fix for bug #39542.
5297
* ``bzrlib.lazy_import.lazy_import`` function to create on-demand
5298
objects. This allows all imports to stay at the global scope, but
5299
modules will not actually be imported if they are not used.
5300
(John Arbash Meinel)
5302
* Support ``bzr://`` and ``bzr+ssh://`` urls to work with the new RPC-based
5303
transport which will be used with the upcoming high-performance smart
5304
server. The new command ``bzr serve`` will invoke bzr in server mode,
5305
which processes these requests. (Andrew Bennetts, Robert Collins, Martin
5308
* New command ``bzr version-info`` which can be used to get a summary
5309
of the current state of the tree. This is especially useful as part
5310
of a build commands. See ``doc/version_info.txt`` for more information
5311
(John Arbash Meinel)
5315
* ``'bzr inventory [FILE...]'`` allows restricting the file list to a
5316
specific set of files. (John Arbash Meinel, #3631)
5318
* Don't abort when annotating empty files (John Arbash Meinel, #56814)
5320
* Add ``Stanza.to_unicode()`` which can be passed to another Stanza
5321
when nesting stanzas. Also, add ``read_stanza_unicode`` to handle when
5322
reading a nested Stanza. (John Arbash Meinel)
5324
* Transform._set_mode() needs to stat the right file.
5325
(John Arbash Meinel, #56549)
5327
* Raise WeaveFormatError rather than StopIteration when trying to read
5328
an empty Weave file. (John Arbash Meinel, #46871)
5330
* Don't access e.code for generic URLErrors, only HTTPErrors have .code.
5331
(Vincent Ladeuil, #59835)
5333
* Handle boundary="" lines properly to allow access through a Squid proxy.
5334
(John Arbash Meinel, #57723)
5336
* revert now removes newly-added directories (Aaron Bentley, #54172)
5338
* ``bzr upgrade sftp://`` shouldn't fail to upgrade v6 branches if there
5339
isn't a working tree. (David Allouche, #40679)
5341
* Give nicer error messages when a user supplies an invalid --revision
5342
parameter. (John Arbash Meinel, #55420)
5344
* Handle when LANG is not recognized by python. Emit a warning, but
5345
just revert to using 'ascii'. (John Arbash Meinel, #35392)
5347
* Don't use ``preexec_fn`` on win32, as it is not supported by subprocess.
5348
(John Arbash Meinel)
5350
* Skip specific tests when the dependencies aren't met. This includes
5351
some ``setup.py`` tests when ``python-dev`` is not available, and
5352
some tests that depend on paramiko. (John Arbash Meinel, Mattheiu Moy)
5354
* Fallback to Paramiko properly, if no ``ssh`` executable exists on
5355
the system. (Andrew Bennetts, John Arbash Meinel)
5357
* ``Branch.bind(other_branch)`` no longer takes a write lock on the
5358
other branch, and will not push or pull between the two branches.
5359
API users will need to perform a push or pull or update operation if they
5360
require branch synchronisation to take place. (Robert Collins, #47344)
5362
* When creating a tarball or zipfile export, export unicode names as utf-8
5363
paths. This may not work perfectly on all platforms, but has the best
5364
chance of working in the common case. (John Arbash Meinel, #56816)
5366
* When committing, only files that exist in working tree or basis tree
5367
may be specified (Aaron Bentley, #50793)
5371
* Fixes to run on Python 2.5 (Brian M. Carlson, Martin Pool, Marien Zwart)
5375
* TestCaseInTempDir now creates a separate directory for HOME, rather
5376
than having HOME set to the same location as the working directory.
5377
(John Arbash Meinel)
5379
* ``run_bzr_subprocess()`` can take an optional ``env_changes={}`` parameter,
5380
which will update os.environ inside the spawned child. It also can
5381
take a ``universal_newlines=True``, which helps when checking the output
5382
of the command. (John Arbash Meinel)
5384
* Refactor SFTP vendors to allow easier re-use when ssh is used.
5387
* ``Transport.list_dir()`` and ``Transport.iter_files_recursive()`` should always
5388
return urlescaped paths. This is now tested (there were bugs in a few
5389
of the transports) (Andrew Bennetts, David Allouche, John Arbash Meinel)
5391
* New utility function ``symbol_versioning.deprecation_string``. Returns the
5392
formatted string for a callable, deprecation format pair. (Robert Collins)
5394
* New TestCase helper applyDeprecated. This allows you to call a callable
5395
which is deprecated without it spewing to the screen, just by supplying
5396
the deprecation format string issued for it. (Robert Collins)
5398
* Transport.append and Transport.put have been deprecated in favor of
5399
``.append_bytes``, ``.append_file``, ``.put_bytes``, and
5400
``.put_file``. This removes the ambiguity in what type of object the
5401
functions take. ``Transport.non_atomic_put_{bytes,file}`` has also
5402
been added. Which works similarly to ``Transport.append()`` except for
5403
SFTP, it doesn't have a round trip when opening the file. Also, it
5404
provides functionality for creating a parent directory when trying
5405
to create a file, rather than raise NoSuchFile and forcing the
5406
caller to repeat their request.
5407
(John Arbash Meinel)
5409
* WorkingTree has a new api ``unversion`` which allow the unversioning of
5410
entries by their file id. (Robert Collins)
5412
* ``WorkingTree.pending_merges`` is deprecated. Please use the
5413
``get_parent_ids`` (introduced in 0.10) method instead. (Robert Collins)
5415
* WorkingTree has a new ``lock_tree_write`` method which locks the branch for
5416
read rather than write. This is appropriate for actions which only need
5417
the branch data for reference rather than mutation. A new decorator
5418
``needs_tree_write_lock`` is provided in the workingtree module. Like the
5419
``needs_read_lock`` and ``needs_write_lock`` decorators this allows static
5420
declaration of the locking requirements of a function to ensure that
5421
a lock is taken out for casual scripts. (Robert Collins, #54107)
5423
* All WorkingTree methods which write to the tree, but not to the branch
5424
have been converted to use ``needs_tree_write_lock`` rather than
5425
``needs_write_lock``. Also converted is the revert, conflicts and tree
5426
transform modules. This provides a modest performance improvement on
5427
metadir style trees, due to the reduce lock-acquisition, and a more
5428
significant performance improvement on lightweight checkouts from
5429
remote branches, where trivial operations used to pay a significant
5430
penalty. It also provides the basis for allowing readonly checkouts.
5433
* Special case importing the standard library 'copy' module. This shaves
5434
off 40ms of startup time, while retaining compatibility. See:
5435
``bzrlib/inspect_for_copy.py`` for more details. (John Arbash Meinel)
5437
* WorkingTree has a new parent class MutableTree which represents the
5438
specialisations of Tree which are able to be altered. (Robert Collins)
5440
* New methods mkdir and ``put_file_bytes_non_atomic`` on MutableTree that
5441
mutate the tree and its contents. (Robert Collins)
5443
* Transport behaviour at the root of the URL is now defined and tested.
5444
(Andrew Bennetts, Robert Collins)
5448
* New test helper classs MemoryTree. This is typically accessed via
5449
``self.make_branch_and_memory_tree()`` in test cases. (Robert Collins)
5451
* Add ``start_bzr_subprocess`` and ``stop_bzr_subprocess`` to allow test
5452
code to continue running concurrently with a subprocess of bzr.
5453
(Andrew Bennetts, Robert Collins)
5455
* Add a new method ``Transport.get_smart_client()``. This is provided to
5456
allow upgrades to a richer interface than the VFS one provided by
5457
Transport. (Andrew Bennetts, Martin Pool)
5460
--------------------
5463
* 'merge' now takes --uncommitted, to apply uncommitted changes from a
5464
tree. (Aaron Bentley)
5466
* 'bzr add --file-ids-from' can be used to specify another path to use
5467
for creating file ids, rather than generating all new ones. Internally,
5468
the 'action' passed to ``smart_add_tree()`` can return ``file_ids`` that
5469
will be used, rather than having bzrlib generate new ones.
5470
(John Arbash Meinel, #55781)
5472
* ``bzr selftest --benchmark`` now allows a ``--cache-dir`` parameter.
5473
This will cache some of the intermediate trees, and decrease the
5474
setup time for benchmark tests. (John Arbash Meinel)
5476
* Inverse forms are provided for all boolean options. For example,
5477
--strict has --no-strict, --no-recurse has --recurse (Aaron Bentley)
5479
* Serialize out Inventories directly, rather than using ElementTree.
5480
Writing out a kernel sized inventory drops from 2s down to ~350ms.
5481
(Robert Collins, John Arbash Meinel)
5485
* Help diffutils 2.8.4 get along with binary tests (Marien Zwart: #57614)
5487
* Change LockDir so that if the lock directory doesn't exist when
5488
``lock_write()`` is called, an attempt will be made to create it.
5489
(John Arbash Meinel, #56974)
5491
* ``bzr uncommit`` preserves pending merges. (John Arbash Meinel, #57660)
5493
* Active FTP transport now works as intended. (ghozzy, #56472)
5495
* Really fix mutter() so that it won't ever raise a UnicodeError.
5496
It means it is possible for ~/.bzr.log to contain non UTF-8 characters.
5497
But it is a debugging log, not a real user file.
5498
(John Arbash Meinel, #56947, #53880)
5500
* Change Command handle to allow Unicode command and options.
5501
At present we cannot register Unicode command names, so we will get
5502
BzrCommandError('unknown command'), or BzrCommandError('unknown option')
5503
But that is better than a UnicodeError + a traceback.
5504
(John Arbash Meinel, #57123)
5506
* Handle TZ=UTC properly when reading/writing revisions.
5507
(John Arbash Meinel, #55783, #56290)
5509
* Use ``GPG_TTY`` to allow gpg --cl to work with gpg-agent in a pipeline,
5510
(passing text to sign in on stdin). (John Arbash Meinel, #54468)
5512
* External diff does the right thing for binaries even in foreign
5513
languages. (John Arbash Meinel, #56307)
5515
* Testament handles more cases when content is unicode. Specific bug was
5516
in handling of revision properties.
5517
(John Arbash Meinel, Holger Krekel, #54723)
5519
* The bzr selftest was failing on installed versions due to a bug in a new
5520
test helper. (John Arbash Meinel, Robert Collins, #58057)
5524
* ``bzrlib.cache_utf8`` contains ``encode()`` and ``decode()`` functions
5525
which can be used to cache the conversion between utf8 and Unicode.
5526
Especially helpful for some of the knit annotation code, which has to
5527
convert revision ids to utf8 to annotate lines in storage.
5528
(John Arbash Meinel)
5530
* ``setup.py`` now searches the filesystem to find all packages which
5531
need to be installed. This should help make the life of packagers
5532
easier. (John Arbash Meinel)
5534
bzr 0.9.0 2006-08-11
5535
---------------------
5539
* The hard-coded built-in ignore rules have been removed. There are
5540
now two rulesets which are enforced. A user global one in
5541
``~/.bazaar/ignore`` which will apply to every tree, and the tree
5542
specific one '.bzrignore'.
5543
``~/.bazaar/ignore`` will be created if it does not exist, but with
5544
a more conservative list than the old default.
5545
This fixes bugs with default rules being enforced no matter what.
5546
The old list of ignore rules from bzr is available by
5547
running 'bzr ignore --old-default-rules'.
5548
(Robert Collins, Martin Pool, John Arbash Meinel)
5550
* 'branches.conf' has been changed to 'locations.conf', since it can apply
5551
to more locations than just branch locations.
5556
* The revision specifier "revno:" is extended to accept the syntax
5557
revno:N:branch. For example,
5558
revno:42:http://bazaar-vcs.org/bzr/bzr.dev/ means revision 42 in
5559
bzr.dev. (Matthieu Moy)
5561
* Tests updates to ensure proper URL handling, UNICODE support, and
5562
proper printing when the user's terminal encoding cannot display
5563
the path of a file that has been versioned.
5564
``bzr branch`` can take a target URL rather than only a local directory.
5565
``Branch.get_parent()/set_parent()`` now save a relative path if possible,
5566
and normalize the parent based on root, allowing access across
5567
different transports. (John Arbash Meinel, Wouter van Heyst, Martin Pool)
5568
(Malone #48906, #42699, #40675, #5281, #3980, #36363, #43689,
5571
* On Unix, detect terminal width using an ioctl not just $COLUMNS.
5572
Use terminal width for single-line logs from ``bzr log --line`` and
5573
pending-merge display. (Robert Widhopf-Fenk, Gustavo Niemeyer)
5576
* On Windows, detect terminal width using GetConsoleScreenBufferInfo.
5577
(Alexander Belchenko)
5579
* Speedup improvement for 'date:'-revision search. (Guillaume Pinot).
5581
* Show the correct number of revisions pushed when pushing a new branch.
5584
* 'bzr selftest' now shows a progress bar with the number of tests, and
5585
progress made. 'make check' shows tests in -v mode, to be more useful
5586
for the PQM status window. (Robert Collins).
5587
When using a progress bar, failed tests are printed out, rather than
5588
being overwritten by the progress bar until the suite finishes.
5589
(John Arbash Meinel)
5591
* 'bzr selftest --benchmark' will run a new benchmarking selftest.
5592
'bzr selftest --benchmark --lsprof-timed' will use lsprofile to generate
5593
profile data for the individual profiled calls, allowing for fine
5594
grained analysis of performance.
5595
(Robert Collins, Martin Pool).
5597
* 'bzr commit' shows a progress bar. This is useful for commits over sftp
5598
where commit can take an appreciable time. (Robert Collins)
5600
* 'bzr add' is now less verbose in telling you what ignore globs were
5601
matched by files being ignored. Instead it just tells you how many
5602
were ignored (because you might reasonably be expecting none to be
5603
ignored). 'bzr add -v' is unchanged and will report every ignored
5604
file. (Robert Collins).
5606
* ftp now has a test server if medusa is installed. As part of testing,
5607
ftp support has been improved, including support for supplying a
5608
non-standard port. (John Arbash Meinel).
5610
* 'bzr log --line' shows the revision number, and uses only the
5611
first line of the log message (#5162, Alexander Belchenko;
5614
* 'bzr status' has had the --all option removed. The 'bzr ls' command
5615
should be used to retrieve all versioned files. (Robert Collins)
5617
* 'bzr bundle OTHER/BRANCH' will create a bundle which can be sent
5618
over email, and applied on the other end, while maintaining ancestry.
5619
This bundle can be applied with either 'bzr merge' or 'bzr pull',
5620
the same way you would apply another branch.
5621
(John Arbash Meinel, Aaron Bentley)
5623
* 'bzr whoami' can now be used to set your identity from the command line,
5624
for a branch or globally. (Robey Pointer)
5626
* 'bzr checkout' now aliased to 'bzr co', and 'bzr annotate' to 'bzr ann'.
5629
* 'bzr revert DIRECTORY' now reverts the contents of the directory as well.
5632
* 'bzr get sftp://foo' gives a better error when paramiko is not present.
5633
Also updates things like 'http+pycurl://' if pycurl is not present.
5634
(John Arbash Meinel) (Malone #47821, #52204)
5636
* New env variable ``BZR_PROGRESS_BAR``, sets the default progress bar type.
5637
Can be set to 'none' or 'dummy' to disable the progress bar, 'dots' or
5638
'tty' to create the respective type. (John Arbash Meinel, #42197, #51107)
5640
* Improve the help text for 'bzr diff' to explain what various options do.
5641
(John Arbash Meinel, #6391)
5643
* 'bzr uncommit -r 10' now uncommits revisions 11.. rather than uncommitting
5644
revision 10. This makes -r10 more in line with what other commands do.
5645
'bzr uncommit' also now saves the pending merges of the revisions that
5646
were removed. So it is safe to uncommit after a merge, fix something,
5647
and commit again. (John Arbash Meinel, #32526, #31426)
5649
* 'bzr init' now also works on remote locations.
5650
(Wouter van Heyst, #48904)
5652
* HTTP support has been updated. When using pycurl we now support
5653
connection keep-alive, which reduces dns requests and round trips.
5654
And for both urllib and pycurl we support multi-range requests,
5655
which decreases the number of round-trips. Performance results for
5656
``bzr branch http://bazaar-vcs.org/bzr/bzr.dev/`` indicate
5657
http branching is now 2-3x faster, and ``bzr pull`` in an existing
5658
branch is as much as 4x faster.
5659
(Michael Ellerman, Johan Rydberg, John Arbash Meinel, #46768)
5661
* Performance improvements for sftp. Branching and pulling are now up to
5662
2x faster. Utilize paramiko.readv() support for async requests if it
5663
is available (paramiko > 1.6) (John Arbash Meinel)
5667
* Fix shadowed definition of TestLocationConfig that caused some
5669
(Erik Bågfors, Michael Ellerman, Martin Pool, #32587)
5671
* Fix unnecessary requirement of sign-my-commits that it be run from
5672
a working directory. (Martin Pool, Robert Collins)
5674
* 'bzr push location' will only remember the push location if it succeeds
5675
in connecting to the remote location. (John Arbash Meinel, #49742)
5677
* 'bzr revert' no longer toggles the executable bit on win32
5678
(John Arbash Meinel, #45010)
5680
* Handle broken pipe under win32 correctly. (John Arbash Meinel)
5682
* sftp tests now work correctly on win32 if you have a newer paramiko
5683
(John Arbash Meinel)
5685
* Cleanup win32 test suite, and general cleanup of places where
5686
file handles were being held open. (John Arbash Meinel)
5688
* When specifying filenames for 'diff -r x..y', the name of the file in the
5689
working directory can be used, even if its name is different in both x
5692
* File-ids containing single- or double-quotes are handled correctly by
5693
push. (Aaron Bentley, #52227)
5695
* Normalize unicode filenames to ensure cross-platform consistency.
5696
(John Arbash Meinel, #43689)
5698
* The argument parser can now handle '-' as an argument. Currently
5699
no code interprets it specially (it is mostly handled as a file named
5700
'-'). But plugins, and future operations can use it.
5701
(John Arbash meinel, #50984)
5703
* Bundles can properly read binary files with a plain '\r' in them.
5704
(John Arbash Meinel, #51927)
5706
* Tuning ``iter_entries()`` to be more efficient (John Arbash Meinel, #5444)
5708
* Lots of win32 fixes (the test suite passes again).
5709
(John Arbash Meinel, #50155)
5711
* Handle openbsd returning None for sys.getfilesystemencoding() (#41183)
5713
* Support ftp APPE (append) to allow Knits to be used over ftp (#42592)
5715
* Removals are only committed if they match the filespec (or if there is
5716
no filespec). (#46635, Aaron Bentley)
5718
* smart-add recurses through all supplied directories
5719
(John Arbash Meinel, #52578)
5721
* Make the bundle reader extra lines before and after the bundle text.
5722
This allows you to parse an email with the bundle inline.
5723
(John Arbash Meinel, #49182)
5725
* Change the file id generator to squash a little bit more. Helps when
5726
working with long filenames on windows. (Also helps for unicode filenames
5727
not generating hidden files). (John Arbash Meinel, #43801)
5729
* Restore terminal mode on C-c while reading sftp password. (#48923,
5730
Nicholas Allen, Martin Pool)
5732
* Timestamps are rounded to 1ms, and revision entries can be recreated
5733
exactly. (John Arbash Meinel, Jamie Wilkinson, #40693)
5735
* Branch.base has changed to a URL, but ~/.bazaar/locations.conf should
5736
use local paths, since it is user visible (John Arbash Meinel, #53653)
5738
* ``bzr status foo`` when foo was unversioned used to cause a full delta
5739
to be generated (John Arbash Meinel, #53638)
5741
* When reading revision properties, an empty value should be considered
5742
the empty string, not None (John Arbash Meinel, #47782)
5744
* ``bzr diff --diff-options`` can now handle binary files being changed.
5745
Also, the output is consistent when --diff-options is not supplied.
5746
(John Arbash Meinel, #54651, #52930)
5748
* Use the right suffixes for loading plugins (John Arbash Meinel, #51810)
5750
* Fix ``Branch.get_parent()`` to handle the case when the parent is not
5751
accessible (John Arbash Meinel, #52976)
5755
* Combine the ignore rules into a single regex rather than looping over
5756
them to reduce the threshold where N^2 behaviour occurs in operations
5757
like status. (Jan Hudec, Robert Collins).
5759
* Appending to ``bzrlib.DEFAULT_IGNORE`` is now deprecated. Instead, use
5760
one of the add functions in bzrlib.ignores. (John Arbash Meinel)
5762
* 'bzr push' should only push the ancestry of the current revision, not
5763
all of the history in the repository. This is especially important for
5764
shared repositories. (John Arbash Meinel)
5766
* ``bzrlib.delta.compare_trees`` now iterates in alphabetically sorted order,
5767
rather than randomly walking the inventories. (John Arbash Meinel)
5769
* Doctests are now run in temporary directories which are cleaned up when
5770
they finish, rather than using special ScratchDir/ScratchBranch objects.
5773
* Split ``check`` into separate methods on the branch and on the repository,
5774
so that it can be specialized in ways that are useful or efficient for
5775
different formats. (Martin Pool, Robert Collins)
5777
* Deprecate ``Repository.all_revision_ids``; most methods don't really need
5778
the global revision graph but only that part leading up to a particular
5779
revision. (Martin Pool, Robert Collins)
5781
* Add a BzrDirFormat ``control_formats`` list which allows for control formats
5782
that do not use '.bzr' to store their data - i.e. '.svn', '.hg' etc.
5783
(Robert Collins, Jelmer Vernooij).
5785
* ``bzrlib.diff.external_diff`` can be redirected to any file-like object.
5786
Uses subprocess instead of spawnvp.
5787
(James Henstridge, John Arbash Meinel, #4047, #48914)
5789
* New command line option '--profile-imports', which will install a custom
5790
importer to log time to import modules and regex compilation time to
5791
sys.stderr (John Arbash Meinel)
5793
* 'EmptyTree' is now deprecated, please use ``repository.revision_tree(None)``
5794
instead. (Robert Collins)
5796
* "RevisionTree" is now in bzrlib/revisiontree.py. (Robert Collins)
5798
bzr 0.8.2 2006-05-17
5799
---------------------
5803
* setup.py failed to install launchpad plugin. (Martin Pool)
5805
bzr 0.8.1 2006-05-16
5806
---------------------
5810
* Fix failure to commit a merge in a checkout. (Martin Pool,
5811
Robert Collins, Erik Bågfors, #43959)
5813
* Nicer messages from 'commit' in the case of renames, and correct
5814
messages when a merge has occured. (Robert Collins, Martin Pool)
5816
* Separate functionality from assert statements as they are skipped in
5817
optimized mode of python. Add the same check to pending merges.
5818
(Olaf Conradi, #44443)
5822
* Do not show the None revision in output of bzr ancestry. (Olaf Conradi)
5824
* Add info on standalone branches without a working tree.
5825
(Olaf Conradi, #44155)
5827
* Fix bug in knits when raising InvalidRevisionId. (Olaf Conradi, #44284)
5831
* Make editor invocation comply with Debian Policy. First check
5832
environment variables VISUAL and EDITOR, then try editor from
5833
alternatives system. If that all fails, fall back to the pre-defined
5834
list of editors. (Olaf Conradi, #42904)
5838
* New 'register-branch' command registers a public branch into
5839
Launchpad.net, where it can be associated with bugs, etc.
5840
(Martin Pool, Bjorn Tillenius, Robert Collins)
5844
* New public api in InventoryEntry - ``describe_change(old, new)`` which
5845
provides a human description of the changes between two old and
5846
new. (Robert Collins, Martin Pool)
5850
* Fix test case for bzr info in upgrading a standalone branch to metadir,
5851
uses bzrlib api now. (Olaf Conradi)
5856
NOTES WHEN UPGRADING:
5858
Release 0.8 of bzr introduces a new format for history storage, called
5859
'knit', as an evolution of to the 'weave' format used in 0.7. Local
5860
and remote operations are faster using knits than weaves. Several
5861
operations including 'init', 'init-repo', and 'upgrade' take a
5862
--format option that controls this. Branching from an existing branch
5863
will keep the same format.
5865
It is possible to merge, pull and push between branches of different
5866
formats but this is slower than moving data between homogenous
5867
branches. It is therefore recommended (but not required) that you
5868
upgrade all branches for a project at the same time. Information on
5869
formats is shown by 'bzr info'.
5871
bzr 0.8 now allows creation of 'repositories', which hold the history
5872
of files and revisions for several branches. Previously bzr kept all
5873
the history for a branch within the .bzr directory at the root of the
5874
branch, and this is still the default. To create a repository, use
5875
the new 'bzr init-repo' command. Branches exist as directories under
5876
the repository and contain just a small amount of information
5877
indicating the current revision of the branch.
5879
bzr 0.8 also supports 'checkouts', which are similar to in cvs and
5880
subversion. Checkouts are associated with a branch (optionally in a
5881
repository), which contains all the historical information. The
5882
result is that a checkout can be deleted without losing any
5883
already-committed revisions. A new 'update' command is also available.
5885
Repositories and checkouts are not supported with the 0.7 storage
5886
format. To use them you must upgrad to either knits, or to the
5887
'metaweave' format, which uses weaves but changes the .bzr directory
5893
* Sftp paths can now be relative, or local, according to the lftp
5894
convention. Paths now take the form::
5896
sftp://user:pass@host:port/~/relative/path
5898
sftp://user:pass@host:port/absolute/path
5900
* The FTP transport now tries to reconnect after a temporary
5901
failure. ftp put is made atomic. (Matthieu Moy)
5903
* The FTP transport now maintains a pool of connections, and
5904
reuses them to avoid multiple connections to the same host (like
5905
sftp did). (Daniel Silverstone)
5907
* The ``bzr_man.py`` file has been removed. To create the man page now,
5908
use ``./generate_docs.py man``. The new program can also create other files.
5909
Run ``python generate_docs.py --help`` for usage information.
5910
(Hans Ulrich Niedermann & James Blackwell).
5912
* Man Page now gives full help (James Blackwell).
5913
Help also updated to reflect user config now being stored in .bazaar
5914
(Hans Ulrich Niedermann)
5916
* It's now possible to set aliases in bazaar.conf (Erik Bågfors)
5918
* Pull now accepts a --revision argument (Erik Bågfors)
5920
* ``bzr re-sign`` now allows multiple revisions to be supplied on the command
5921
line. You can now use the following command to sign all of your old
5924
find .bzr/revision-store// -name my@email-* \
5925
| sed 's/.*\/\/..\///' \
5928
* Upgrade can now upgrade over the network. (Robert Collins)
5930
* Two new commands 'bzr checkout' and 'bzr update' allow for CVS/SVN-alike
5931
behaviour. By default they will cache history in the checkout, but
5932
with --lightweight almost all data is kept in the master branch.
5935
* 'revert' unversions newly-versioned files, instead of deleting them.
5937
* 'merge' is more robust. Conflict messages have changed.
5939
* 'merge' and 'revert' no longer clobber existing files that end in '~' or
5942
* Default log format can be set in configuration and plugins can register
5943
their own formatters. (Erik Bågfors)
5945
* New 'reconcile' command will check branch consistency and repair indexes
5946
that can become out of sync in pre 0.8 formats. (Robert Collins,
5949
* New 'bzr init --format' and 'bzr upgrade --format' option to control
5950
what storage format is created or produced. (Robert Collins,
5953
* Add parent location to 'bzr info', if there is one. (Olaf Conradi)
5955
* New developer commands 'weave-list' and 'weave-join'. (Martin Pool)
5957
* New 'init-repository' command, plus support for repositories in 'init'
5958
and 'branch' (Aaron Bentley, Erik Bågfors, Robert Collins)
5960
* Improve output of 'info' command. Show all relevant locations related to
5961
working tree, branch and repository. Use kibibytes for binary quantities.
5962
Fix off-by-one error in missing revisions of working tree. Make 'info'
5963
work on branches, repositories and remote locations. Show locations
5964
relative to the shared repository, if applicable. Show locking status
5965
of locations. (Olaf Conradi)
5967
* Diff and merge now safely handle binary files. (Aaron Bentley)
5969
* 'pull' and 'push' now normalise the revision history, so that any two
5970
branches with the same tip revision will have the same output from 'log'.
5973
* 'merge' accepts --remember option to store parent location, like 'push'
5974
and 'pull'. (Olaf Conradi)
5976
* bzr status and diff when files given as arguments do not exist
5977
in the relevant trees. (Martin Pool, #3619)
5979
* Add '.hg' to the default ignore list. (Martin Pool)
5981
* 'knit' is now the default disk format. This improves disk performance and
5982
utilization, increases incremental pull performance, robustness with SFTP
5983
and allows checkouts over SFTP to perform acceptably.
5984
The initial Knit code was contributed by Johan Rydberg based on a
5985
specification by Martin Pool.
5986
(Robert Collins, Aaron Bentley, Johan Rydberg, Martin Pool).
5988
* New tool to generate all-in-one html version of the manual. (Alexander
5991
* Hitting CTRL-C while doing an SFTP push will no longer cause stale locks
5992
to be left in the SFTP repository. (Robert Collins, Martin Pool).
5994
* New option 'diff --prefix' to control how files are named in diff
5995
output, with shortcuts '-p0' and '-p1' corresponding to the options for
5996
GNU patch. (Alexander Belchenko, Goffredo Baroncelli, Martin Pool)
5998
* Add --revision option to 'annotate' command. (Olaf Conradi)
6000
* If bzr shows an unexpected revision-history after pulling (perhaps due
6001
to a reweave) it can now be corrected by 'bzr reconcile'.
6006
* Commit is now verbose by default, and shows changed filenames and the
6007
new revision number. (Robert Collins, Martin Pool)
6009
* Unify 'mv', 'move', 'rename'. (Matthew Fuller, #5379)
6011
* 'bzr -h' shows help. (Martin Pool, Ian Bicking, #35940)
6013
* Make 'pull' and 'push' remember location on failure using --remember.
6016
* For compatibility, make old format for using weaves inside metadir
6017
available as 'metaweave' format. Rename format 'metadir' to 'default'.
6018
Clean up help for option --format in commands 'init', 'init-repo' and
6019
'upgrade'. (Olaf Conradi)
6023
* The internal storage of history, and logical branch identity have now
6024
been split into Branch, and Repository. The common locking and file
6025
management routines are now in bzrlib.lockablefiles.
6026
(Aaron Bentley, Robert Collins, Martin Pool)
6028
* Transports can now raise DependencyNotPresent if they need a library
6029
which is not installed, and then another implementation will be
6030
tried. (Martin Pool)
6032
* Remove obsolete (and no-op) `decode` parameter to `Transport.get`.
6035
* Using Tree Transform for merge, revert, tree-building
6037
* WorkingTree.create, Branch.create, ``WorkingTree.create_standalone``,
6038
Branch.initialize are now deprecated. Please see ``BzrDir.create_*`` for
6039
replacement API's. (Robert Collins)
6041
* New BzrDir class represents the .bzr control directory and manages
6042
formatting issues. (Robert Collins)
6044
* New repository.InterRepository class encapsulates Repository to
6045
Repository actions and allows for clean selection of optimised code
6046
paths. (Robert Collins)
6048
* ``bzrlib.fetch.fetch`` and ``bzrlib.fetch.greedy_fetch`` are now
6049
deprecated, please use ``branch.fetch`` or ``repository.fetch``
6050
depending on your needs. (Robert Collins)
6052
* deprecated methods now have a ``is_deprecated`` flag on them that can
6053
be checked, if you need to determine whether a given callable is
6054
deprecated at runtime. (Robert Collins)
6056
* Progress bars are now nested - see
6057
``bzrlib.ui.ui_factory.nested_progress_bar``.
6058
(Robert Collins, Robey Pointer)
6060
* New API call ``get_format_description()`` for each type of format.
6063
* Changed ``branch.set_parent()`` to accept None to remove parent.
6066
* Deprecated BzrError AmbiguousBase. (Olaf Conradi)
6068
* WorkingTree.branch is now a read only property. (Robert Collins)
6070
* bzrlib.ui.text.TextUIFactory now accepts a ``bar_type`` parameter which
6071
can be None or a factory that will create a progress bar. This is
6072
useful for testing or for overriding the bzrlib.progress heuristic.
6075
* New API method ``get_physical_lock_status()`` to query locks present on a
6076
transport. (Olaf Conradi)
6078
* Repository.reconcile now takes a thorough keyword parameter to allow
6079
requesting an indepth reconciliation, rather than just a data-loss
6080
check. (Robert Collins)
6082
* ``bzrlib.ui.ui_factory protocol`` now supports ``get_boolean`` to prompt
6083
the user for yes/no style input. (Robert Collins)
6087
* SFTP tests now shortcut the SSH negotiation, reducing test overhead
6088
for testing SFTP protocol support. (Robey Pointer)
6090
* Branch formats are now tested once per implementation (see ``bzrlib.
6091
tests.branch_implementations``. This is analagous to the transport
6092
interface tests, and has been followed up with working tree,
6093
repository and BzrDir tests. (Robert Collins)
6095
* New test base class TestCaseWithTransport provides a transport aware
6096
test environment, useful for testing any transport-interface using
6097
code. The test suite option --transport controls the transport used
6098
by this class (when its not being used as part of implementation
6099
contract testing). (Robert Collins)
6101
* Close logging handler on disabling the test log. This will remove the
6102
handler from the internal list inside python's logging module,
6103
preventing shutdown from closing it twice. (Olaf Conradi)
6105
* Move test case for uncommit to blackbox tests. (Olaf Conradi)
6107
* ``run_bzr`` and ``run_bzr_captured`` now accept a 'stdin="foo"'
6108
parameter which will provide String("foo") to the command as its stdin.
6115
* .bzrignore is excluded from exports, on the grounds that it's a bzr
6116
internal-use file and may not be wanted. (Jamie Wilkinson)
6118
* The "bzr directories" command were removed in favor of the new
6119
--kind option to the "bzr inventory" command. To list all
6120
versioned directories, now use "bzr inventory --kind directory".
6123
* Under Windows configuration directory is now ``%APPDATA%\bazaar\2.0``
6124
by default. (John Arbash Meinel)
6126
* The parent of Bzr configuration directory can be set by ``BZR_HOME``
6127
environment variable. Now the path for it is searched in ``BZR_HOME``,
6128
then in HOME. Under Windows the order is: ``BZR_HOME``, ``APPDATA``
6129
(usually points to ``C:\Documents and Settings\User Name\Application Data``),
6130
``HOME``. (John Arbash Meinel)
6132
* Plugins with the same name in different directories in the bzr plugin
6133
path are no longer loaded: only the first successfully loaded one is
6134
used. (Robert Collins)
6136
* Use systems' external ssh command to open connections if possible.
6137
This gives better integration with user settings such as ProxyCommand.
6140
* Permissions on files underneath .bzr/ are inherited from the .bzr
6141
directory. So for a shared repository, simply doing 'chmod -R g+w .bzr/'
6142
will mean that future file will be created with group write permissions.
6144
* configure.in and config.guess are no longer in the builtin default
6147
* '.sw[nop]' pattern ignored, to ignore vim swap files for nameless
6148
files. (John Arbash Meinel, Martin Pool)
6152
* "bzr INIT dir" now initializes the specified directory, and creates
6153
it if it does not exist. (John Arbash Meinel)
6155
* New remerge command (Aaron Bentley)
6157
* Better zsh completion script. (Steve Borho)
6159
* 'bzr diff' now returns 1 when there are changes in the working
6160
tree. (Robert Collins)
6162
* 'bzr push' now exists and can push changes to a remote location.
6163
This uses the transport infrastructure, and can store the remote
6164
location in the ~/.bazaar/branches.conf configuration file.
6167
* Test directories are only kept if the test fails and the user requests
6170
* Tweaks to short log printing
6172
* Added branch nicks, new nick command, printing them in log output.
6175
* If ``$BZR_PDB`` is set, pop into the debugger when an uncaught exception
6176
occurs. (Martin Pool)
6178
* Accept 'bzr resolved' (an alias for 'bzr resolve'), as this is
6179
the same as Subversion. (Martin Pool)
6181
* New ftp transport support (on ftplib), for ftp:// and aftp://
6182
URLs. (Daniel Silverstone)
6184
* Commit editor temporary files now start with ``bzr_log.``, to allow
6185
text editors to match the file name and set up appropriate modes or
6186
settings. (Magnus Therning)
6188
* Improved performance when integrating changes from a remote weave.
6189
(Goffredo Baroncelli)
6191
* Sftp will attempt to cache the connection, so it is more likely that
6192
a connection will be reused, rather than requiring multiple password
6195
* bzr revno now takes an optional argument indicating the branch whose
6196
revno should be printed. (Michael Ellerman)
6198
* bzr cat defaults to printing the last version of the file.
6199
(Matthieu Moy, #3632)
6201
* New global option 'bzr --lsprof COMMAND' runs bzr under the lsprof
6202
profiler. (Denys Duchier)
6204
* Faster commits by reading only the headers of affected weave files.
6207
* 'bzr add' now takes a --dry-run parameter which shows you what would be
6208
added, but doesn't actually add anything. (Michael Ellerman)
6210
* 'bzr add' now lists how many files were ignored per glob. add --verbose
6211
lists the specific files. (Aaron Bentley)
6213
* 'bzr missing' now supports displaying changes in diverged trees and can
6214
be limited to show what either end of the comparison is missing.
6215
(Aaron Bently, with a little prompting from Daniel Silverstone)
6219
* SFTP can walk up to the root path without index errors. (Robert Collins)
6221
* Fix bugs in running bzr with 'python -O'. (Martin Pool)
6223
* Error when run with -OO
6225
* Fix bug in reporting http errors that don't have an http error code.
6228
* Handle more cases of pipe errors in display commands
6230
* Change status to 3 for all errors
6232
* Files that are added and unlinked before committing are completely
6233
ignored by diff and status
6235
* Stores with some compressed texts and some uncompressed texts are now
6236
able to be used. (John A Meinel)
6238
* Fix for bzr pull failing sometimes under windows
6240
* Fix for sftp transport under windows when using interactive auth
6242
* Show files which are both renamed and modified as such in 'bzr
6243
status' output. (Daniel Silverstone, #4503)
6245
* Make annotate cope better with revisions committed without a valid
6246
email address. (Marien Zwart)
6248
* Fix representation of tab characters in commit messages.
6251
* List of plugin directories in ``BZR_PLUGIN_PATH`` environment variable is
6252
now parsed properly under Windows. (Alexander Belchenko)
6254
* Show number of revisions pushed/pulled/merged. (Robey Pointer)
6256
* Keep a cached copy of the basis inventory to speed up operations
6257
that need to refer to it. (Johan Rydberg, Martin Pool)
6259
* Fix bugs in bzr status display of non-ascii characters.
6262
* Remove Makefile.in from default ignore list.
6263
(Tollef Fog Heen, Martin Pool, #6413)
6265
* Fix failure in 'bzr added'. (Nathan McCallum, Martin Pool)
6269
* Fix selftest asking for passwords when there are no SFTP keys.
6270
(Robey Pointer, Jelmer Vernooij)
6272
* Fix selftest run with 'python -O'. (Martin Pool)
6274
* Fix HTTP tests under Windows. (John Arbash Meinel)
6276
* Make tests work even if HOME is not set (Aaron Bentley)
6278
* Updated ``build_tree`` to use fixed line-endings for tests which read
6279
the file cotents and compare. Make some tests use this to pass under
6280
Windows. (John Arbash Meinel)
6282
* Skip stat and symlink tests under Windows. (Alexander Belchenko)
6284
* Delay in selftest/testhashcash is now issued under win32 and Cygwin.
6285
(John Arbash Meinel)
6287
* Use terminal width to align verbose test output. (Martin Pool)
6289
* Blackbox tests are maintained within the bzrlib.tests.blackbox directory.
6290
If adding a new test script please add that to
6291
``bzrlib.tests.blackbox.__init__``. (Robert Collins)
6293
* Much better error message if one of the test suites can't be
6294
imported. (Martin Pool)
6296
* Make check now runs the test suite twice - once with the default locale,
6297
and once with all locales forced to C, to expose bugs. This is not
6298
trivially done within python, so for now its only triggered by running
6299
Make check. Integrators and packagers who wish to check for full
6300
platform support should run 'make check' to test the source.
6303
* Tests can now run TestSkipped if they can't execute for any reason.
6304
(Martin Pool) (NB: TestSkipped should only be raised for correctable
6305
reasons - see the wiki spec ImprovingBzrTestSuite).
6307
* Test sftp with relative, absolute-in-homedir and absolute-not-in-homedir
6308
paths for the transport tests. Introduce blackbox remote sftp tests that
6309
test the same permutations. (Robert Collins, Robey Pointer)
6311
* Transport implementation tests are now independent of the local file
6312
system, which allows tests for esoteric transports, and for features
6313
not available in the local file system. They also repeat for variations
6314
on the URL scheme that can introduce issues in the transport code,
6315
see bzrlib.transport.TransportTestProviderAdapter() for this.
6318
* ``TestCase.build_tree`` uses the transport interface to build trees,
6319
pass in a transport parameter to give it an existing connection.
6324
* WorkingTree.pull has been split across Branch and WorkingTree,
6325
to allow Branch only pulls. (Robert Collins)
6327
* ``commands.display_command`` now returns the result of the decorated
6328
function. (Robert Collins)
6330
* LocationConfig now has a ``set_user_option(key, value)`` call to save
6331
a setting in its matching location section (a new one is created
6332
if needed). (Robert Collins)
6334
* Branch has two new methods, ``get_push_location`` and
6335
``set_push_location`` to respectively, get and set the push location.
6338
* ``commands.register_command`` now takes an optional flag to signal that
6339
the registrant is planning to decorate an existing command. When
6340
given multiple plugins registering a command is not an error, and
6341
the original command class (whether built in or a plugin based one) is
6342
returned to the caller. There is a new error 'MustUseDecorated' for
6343
signalling when a wrapping command should switch to the original
6344
version. (Robert Collins)
6346
* Some option parsing errors will raise 'BzrOptionError', allowing
6347
granular detection for decorating commands. (Robert Collins).
6349
* ``Branch.read_working_inventory`` has moved to
6350
``WorkingTree.read_working_inventory``. This necessitated changes to
6351
``Branch.get_root_id``, and a move of ``Branch.set_inventory`` to
6352
WorkingTree as well. To make it clear that a WorkingTree cannot always
6353
be obtained ``Branch.working_tree()`` will raise
6354
``errors.NoWorkingTree`` if one cannot be obtained. (Robert Collins)
6356
* All pending merges operations from Branch are now on WorkingTree.
6359
* The follow operations from Branch have moved to WorkingTree::
6369
* ``bzrlib.add.smart_add_branch`` is now ``smart_add_tree``. (Robert Collins)
6371
* New "rio" serialization format, similar to rfc-822. (Martin Pool)
6373
* Rename selftests to ``bzrlib.tests.test_foo``. (John A Meinel, Martin
6376
* ``bzrlib.plugin.all_plugins`` has been changed from an attribute to a
6377
query method. (Robert Collins)
6379
* New options to read only the table-of-contents of a weave.
6382
* Raise NoSuchFile when someone tries to add a non-existant file.
6385
* Simplify handling of DivergedBranches in ``cmd_pull()``.
6388
* Branch.controlfile* logic has moved to lockablefiles.LockableFiles, which
6389
is exposed as ``Branch().control_files``. Also this has been altered with the
6390
controlfile pre/suffix replaced by simple method names like 'get' and
6391
'put'. (Aaron Bentley, Robert Collins).
6393
* Deprecated functions and methods can now be marked as such using the
6394
``bzrlib.symbol_versioning`` module. Marked method have their docstring
6395
updated and will issue a DeprecationWarning using the warnings module
6396
when they are used. (Robert Collins)
6398
* ``bzrlib.osutils.safe_unicode`` now exists to provide parameter coercion
6399
for functions that need unicode strings. (Robert Collins)
6406
* pull now takes --verbose to show you what revisions are added or removed
6409
* merge now takes a --show-base option to include the base text in
6413
* The config files are now read using ConfigObj, so '=' should be used as
6414
a separator, not ':'.
6417
* New 'bzr commit --strict' option refuses to commit if there are
6418
any unknown files in the tree. To commit, make sure all files are
6419
either ignored, added, or deleted. (Michael Ellerman)
6421
* The config directory is now ~/.bazaar, and there is a single file
6422
~/.bazaar/bazaar.conf storing email, editor and other preferences.
6425
* 'bzr add' no longer takes a --verbose option, and a --quiet option
6426
has been added that suppresses all output.
6428
* Improved zsh completion support in contrib/zsh, from Clint
6431
* Builtin 'bzr annotate' command, by Martin Pool with improvements from
6432
Goffredo Baroncelli.
6434
* 'bzr check' now accepts -v for verbose reporting, and checks for
6435
ghosts in the branch. (Robert Collins)
6437
* New command 're-sign' which will regenerate the gpg signature for
6438
a revision. (Robert Collins)
6440
* If you set ``check_signatures=require`` for a path in
6441
``~/.bazaar/branches.conf`` then bzr will invoke your
6442
``gpg_signing_command`` (defaults to gpg) and record a digital signature
6443
of your commit. (Robert Collins)
6445
* New sftp transport, based on Paramiko. (Robey Pointer)
6447
* 'bzr pull' now accepts '--clobber' which will discard local changes
6448
and make this branch identical to the source branch. (Robert Collins)
6450
* Just give a quieter warning if a plugin can't be loaded, and
6451
put the details in .bzr.log. (Martin Pool)
6453
* 'bzr branch' will now set the branch-name to the last component of the
6454
output directory, if one was supplied.
6456
* If the option ``post_commit`` is set to one (or more) python function
6457
names (must be in the bzrlib namespace), then they will be invoked
6458
after the commit has completed, with the branch and ``revision_id`` as
6459
parameters. (Robert Collins)
6461
* Merge now has a retcode of 1 when conflicts occur. (Robert Collins)
6463
* --merge-type weave is now supported for file contents. Tree-shape
6464
changes are still three-way based. (Martin Pool, Aaron Bentley)
6466
* 'bzr check' allows the first revision on revision-history to have
6467
parents - something that is expected for cheap checkouts, and occurs
6468
when conversions from baz do not have all history. (Robert Collins).
6470
* 'bzr merge' can now graft unrelated trees together, if your specify
6471
0 as a base. (Aaron Bentley)
6473
* 'bzr commit branch' and 'bzr commit branch/file1 branch/file2' now work
6476
* Add '.sconsign*' to default ignore list. (Alexander Belchenko)
6478
* 'bzr merge --reprocess' minimizes conflicts
6482
* The 'bzr selftest --pattern' option for has been removed, now
6483
test specifiers on the command line can be simple strings, or
6484
regexps, or both. (Robert Collins)
6486
* Passing -v to selftest will now show the time each test took to
6487
complete, which will aid in analysing performance regressions and
6488
related questions. (Robert Collins)
6490
* 'bzr selftest' runs all tests, even if one fails, unless '--one'
6491
is given. (Martin Pool)
6493
* There is a new method for TestCaseInTempDir, assertFileEqual, which
6494
will check that a given content is equal to the content of the named
6495
file. (Robert Collins)
6497
* Fix test suite's habit of leaving many temporary log files in $TMPDIR.
6502
* New 'testament' command and concept for making gpg-signatures
6503
of revisions that are not tied to a particular internal
6504
representation. (Martin Pool).
6506
* Per-revision properties ('revprops') as key-value associated
6507
strings on each revision created when the revision is committed.
6508
Intended mainly for the use of external tools. (Martin Pool).
6510
* Config options have moved from bzrlib.osutils to bzrlib.config.
6513
* Improved command line option definitions allowing explanations
6514
for individual options, among other things. Contributed by
6517
* Config options have moved from bzrlib.osutils to bzrlib.config.
6518
Configuration is now done via the config.Config interface:
6519
Depending on whether you have a Branch, a Location or no information
6520
available, construct a ``*Config``, and use its ``signature_checking``,
6521
``username`` and ``user_email`` methods. (Robert Collins)
6523
* Plugins are now loaded under bzrlib.plugins, not bzrlib.plugin, and
6524
they are made available for other plugins to use. You should not
6525
import other plugins during the ``__init__`` of your plugin though, as
6526
no ordering is guaranteed, and the plugins directory is not on the
6527
python path. (Robert Collins)
6529
* Branch.relpath has been moved to WorkingTree.relpath. WorkingTree no
6530
no longer takes an inventory, rather it takes an option branch
6531
parameter, and if None is given will open the branch at basedir
6532
implicitly. (Robert Collins)
6534
* Cleaner exception structure and error reporting. Suggested by
6535
Scott James Remnant. (Martin Pool)
6537
* Branch.remove has been moved to WorkingTree, which has also gained
6538
``lock_read``, ``lock_write`` and ``unlock`` methods for convenience.
6541
* Two decorators, ``needs_read_lock`` and ``needs_write_lock`` have been
6542
added to the branch module. Use these to cause a function to run in a
6543
read or write lock respectively. (Robert Collins)
6545
* ``Branch.open_containing`` now returns a tuple (Branch, relative-path),
6546
which allows direct access to the common case of 'get me this file
6547
from its branch'. (Robert Collins)
6549
* Transports can register using ``register_lazy_transport``, and they
6550
will be loaded when first used. (Martin Pool)
6552
* 'pull' has been factored out of the command as ``WorkingTree.pull()``.
6553
A new option to WorkingTree.pull has been added, clobber, which will
6554
ignore diverged history and pull anyway.
6557
* config.Config has a ``get_user_option`` call that accepts an option name.
6558
This will be looked up in branches.conf and bazaar.conf as normal.
6559
It is intended that this be used by plugins to support options -
6560
options of built in programs should have specific methods on the config.
6563
* ``merge.merge_inner`` now has tempdir as an optional parameter.
6566
* Tree.kind is not recorded at the top level of the hierarchy, as it was
6567
missing on EmptyTree, leading to a bug with merge on EmptyTrees.
6570
* ``WorkingTree.__del__`` has been removed, it was non deterministic and not
6571
doing what it was intended to. See ``WorkingTree.__init__`` for a comment
6572
about future directions. (Robert Collins/Martin Pool)
6574
* bzrlib.transport.http has been modified so that only 404 urllib errors
6575
are returned as NoSuchFile. Other exceptions will propogate as normal.
6576
This allows debuging of actual errors. (Robert Collins)
6578
* bzrlib.transport.Transport now accepts *ONLY* url escaped relative paths
6579
to apis like 'put', 'get' and 'has'. This is to provide consistent
6580
behaviour - it operates on url's only. (Robert Collins)
6582
* Transports can register using ``register_lazy_transport``, and they
6583
will be loaded when first used. (Martin Pool)
6585
* ``merge_flex`` no longer calls ``conflict_handler.finalize()``, instead that
6586
is called by ``merge_inner``. This is so that the conflict count can be
6587
retrieved (and potentially manipulated) before returning to the caller
6588
of ``merge_inner``. Likewise 'merge' now returns the conflict count to the
6589
caller. (Robert Collins)
6591
* ``revision.revision_graph`` can handle having only partial history for
6592
a revision - that is no revisions in the graph with no parents.
6595
* New ``builtins.branch_files`` uses the standard ``file_list`` rules to
6596
produce a branch and a list of paths, relative to that branch
6599
* New TestCase.addCleanup facility.
6601
* New ``bzrlib.version_info`` tuple (similar to ``sys.version_info``),
6602
which can be used by programs importing bzrlib.
6606
* Better handling of branches in directories with non-ascii names.
6607
(Joel Rosdahl, Panagiotis Papadakos)
6609
* Upgrades of trees with no commits will not fail due to accessing
6610
[-1] in the revision-history. (Andres Salomon)
6613
bzr 0.1.1 2005-10-12
6614
--------------------
6618
* Fix problem in pulling over http from machines that do not
6619
allow directories to be listed.
6621
* Avoid harmless warning about invalid hash cache after
6622
upgrading branch format.
6626
* Avoid some unnecessary http operations in branch and pull.
6634
* 'bzr branch' over http initially gives a very high estimate
6635
of completion time but it should fall as the first few
6636
revisions are pulled in. branch is still slow on
6637
high-latency connections.
6641
* bzr-man.py has been updated to work again. Contributed by
6644
* Locking is now done with fcntl.lockf which works with NFS
6645
file systems. Contributed by Harald Meland.
6647
* When a merge encounters a file that has been deleted on
6648
one side and modified on the other, the old contents are
6649
written out to foo.BASE and foo.SIDE, where SIDE is this
6650
or OTHER. Contributed by Aaron Bentley.
6652
* Export was choosing incorrect file paths for the content of
6653
the tarball, this has been fixed by Aaron Bentley.
6655
* Commit will no longer commit without a log message, an
6656
error is returned instead. Contributed by Jelmer Vernooij.
6658
* If you commit a specific file in a sub directory, any of its
6659
parent directories that are added but not listed will be
6660
automatically included. Suggested by Michael Ellerman.
6662
* bzr commit and upgrade did not correctly record new revisions
6663
for files with only a change to their executable status.
6664
bzr will correct this when it encounters it. Fixed by
6667
* HTTP tests now force off the use of ``http_proxy`` for the duration.
6668
Contributed by Gustavo Niemeyer.
6670
* Fix problems in merging weave-based branches that have
6671
different partial views of history.
6673
* Symlink support: working with symlinks when not in the root of a
6674
bzr tree was broken, patch from Scott James Remnant.
6678
* 'branch' now accepts a --basis parameter which will take advantage
6679
of local history when making a new branch. This allows faster
6680
branching of remote branches. Contributed by Aaron Bentley.
6682
* New tree format based on weave files, called version 5.
6683
Existing branches can be upgraded to this format using
6686
* Symlinks are now versionable. Initial patch by
6687
Erik Toubro Nielsen, updated to head by Robert Collins.
6689
* Executable bits are tracked on files. Patch from Gustavo
6692
* 'bzr status' now shows unknown files inside a selected directory.
6693
Patch from Heikki Paajanen.
6695
* Merge conflicts are recorded in .bzr. Two new commands 'conflicts'
6696
and 'resolve' have needed added, which list and remove those
6697
merge conflicts respectively. A conflicted tree cannot be committed
6698
in. Contributed by Aaron Bentley.
6700
* 'rm' is now an alias for 'remove'.
6702
* Stores now split out their content in a single byte prefixed hash,
6703
dropping the density of files per directory by 256. Contributed by
6706
* 'bzr diff -r branch:URL' will now perform a diff between two branches.
6707
Contributed by Robert Collins.
6709
* 'bzr log' with the default formatter will show merged revisions,
6710
indented to the right. Initial implementation contributed by Gustavo
6711
Niemeyer, made incremental by Robert Collins.
6716
* Test case failures have the exception printed after the log
6717
for your viewing pleasure.
6719
* InventoryEntry is now an abstract base class, use one of the
6720
concrete InventoryDirectory etc classes instead.
6722
* Branch raises an UnsupportedFormatError when it detects a
6723
bzr branch it cannot understand. This allows for precise
6724
handling of such circumstances.
6726
* Remove RevisionReference class; ``Revision.parent_ids`` is now simply a
6727
list of their ids and ``parent_sha1s`` is a list of their corresponding
6728
sha1s (for old branches only at the moment.)
6730
* New method-object style interface for Commit() and Fetch().
6732
* Renamed ``Branch.last_patch()`` to ``Branch.last_revision()``, since
6733
we call them revisions not patches.
6735
* Move ``copy_branch`` to ``bzrlib.clone.copy_branch``. The destination
6736
directory is created if it doesn't exist.
6738
* Inventories now identify the files which were present by
6739
giving the revision *of that file*.
6741
* Inventory and Revision XML contains a version identifier.
6742
This must be consistent with the overall branch version
6743
but allows for more flexibility in future upgrades.
6747
* Removed testsweet module so that tests can be run after
6748
bzr installed by 'bzr selftest'.
6750
* 'bzr selftest' command-line arguments can now be partial ids
6751
of tests to run, e.g. ``bzr selftest test_weave``
6754
bzr 0.0.9 2005-09-23
6755
--------------------
6759
* Fixed "branch -r" option.
6761
* Fix remote access to branches containing non-compressed history.
6764
* Better reliability of http server tests. (John Arbash-Meinel)
6766
* Merge graph maximum distance calculation fix. (Aaron Bentley)
6768
* Various minor bug in windows support have been fixed, largely in the
6769
test suite. Contributed by Alexander Belchenko.
6773
* Status now accepts a -r argument to give status between chosen
6774
revisions. Contributed by Heikki Paajanen.
6776
* Revision arguments no longer use +/-/= to control ranges, instead
6777
there is a 'before' namespace, which limits the successive namespace.
6778
For example '$ bzr log -r date:yesterday..before:date:today' will
6779
select everything from yesterday and before today. Contributed by
6782
* There is now a bzr.bat file created by distutils when building on
6783
Windows. Contributed by Alexander Belchenko.
6787
* Removed uuid() as it was unused.
6789
* Improved 'fetch' code for pulling revisions from one branch into
6790
another (used by pull, merged, etc.)
6793
bzr 0.0.8 2005-09-20
6794
--------------------
6798
* Adding a file whose parent directory is not versioned will
6799
implicitly add the parent, and so on up to the root. This means
6800
you should never need to explictly add a directory, they'll just
6801
get added when you add a file in the directory. Contributed by
6804
* Ignore ``.DS_Store`` (contains Mac metadata) by default.
6807
* If you set ``BZR_EDITOR`` in the environment, it is checked in
6808
preference to EDITOR and the config file for the interactive commit
6809
editing program. Related to this is a bugfix where a missing program
6810
set in EDITOR would cause editing to fail, now the fallback program
6811
for the operating system is still tried.
6813
* Files that are not directories/symlinks/regular files will no longer
6814
cause bzr to fail, it will just ignore them by default. You cannot add
6815
them to the tree though - they are not versionable.
6820
* Refactor xml packing/unpacking.

6837
* Quieten warnings about locking; patch from Matt Lavin.
6840
bzr-0.0.7 2005-09-02
6841
--------------------
6845
* ``bzr shell-complete`` command contributed by Clint Adams to
6846
help with intelligent shell completion.
6848
* New expert command ``bzr find-merge-base`` for debugging merges.
6853
* Much better merge support.
6855
* merge3 conflicts are now reported with markers like '<<<<<<<'
6856
(seven characters) which is the same as CVS and pleases things
6862
* ``bzr upgrade`` no longer fails when trying to fix trees that
6863
mention revisions that are not present.
6865
* Fixed bugs in listing plugins from ``bzr plugins``.
6867
* Fix case of $EDITOR containing options for the editor.
6869
* Fix log -r refusing to show the last revision.
6870
(Patch from Goffredo Baroncelli.)
6875
* ``bzr log --show-ids`` shows the revision ids of all parents.
6877
* Externally provided commands on your $BZRPATH no longer need
6878
to recognize --bzr-usage to work properly, and can just handle
6884
* Changed trace messages to go through the standard logging
6885
framework, so that they can more easily be redirected by
6890
bzr-0.0.6 2005-08-18
6891
--------------------
6895
* Python plugins, automatically loaded from the directories on
6896
``BZR_PLUGIN_PATH`` or ``~/.bzr.conf/plugins`` by default.
6898
* New 'bzr mkdir' command.
6900
* Commit mesage is fetched from an editor if not given on the
6901
command line; patch from Torsten Marek.
6903
* ``bzr log -m FOO`` displays commits whose message matches regexp
6906
* ``bzr add`` with no arguments adds everything under the current directory.
6908
* ``bzr mv`` does move or rename depending on its arguments, like
6911
* ``bzr missing`` command shows a summary of the differences
6912
between two trees. (Merged from John Arbash-Meinel.)
6914
* An email address for commits to a particular tree can be
6915
specified by putting it into .bzr/email within a branch. (Based
6916
on a patch from Heikki Paajanen.)
6921
* Faster working tree operations.
6926
* 3rd-party modules shipped with bzr are copied within the bzrlib
6927
python package, so that they can be installed by the setup
6928
script without clashing with anything already existing on the
6929
system. (Contributed by Gustavo Niemeyer.)
6931
* Moved plugins directory to bzrlib/, so that there's a standard
6932
plugin directory which is not only installed with bzr itself but
6933
is also available when using bzr from the development tree.
6934
``BZR_PLUGIN_PATH`` and ``DEFAULT_PLUGIN_PATH`` are then added to the
6935
standard plugins directory.
6937
* When exporting to a tarball with ``bzr export --format tgz``, put
6938
everything under a top directory rather than dumping it into the
6939
current directory. This can be overridden with the ``--root``
6940
option. Patch from William Dodé and John Meinel.
6942
* New ``bzr upgrade`` command to upgrade the format of a branch,
6943
replacing ``bzr check --update``.
6945
* Files within store directories are no longer marked readonly on
6948
* Changed ``bzr log`` output to a more compact form suggested by
6949
John A Meinel. Old format is available with the ``--long`` or
6950
``-l`` option, patched by William Dodé.
6952
* By default the commit command refuses to record a revision with
6953
no changes unless the ``--unchanged`` option is given.
6955
* The ``--no-plugins``, ``--profile`` and ``--builtin`` command
6956
line options must come before the command name because they
6957
affect what commands are available; all other options must come
6958
after the command name because their interpretation depends on
6961
* ``branch`` and ``clone`` added as aliases for ``branch``.
6963
* Default log format is back to the long format; the compact one
6964
is available with ``--short``.
6969
* Fix bugs in committing only selected files or within a subdirectory.
6972
bzr-0.0.5 2005-06-15
6973
---------------------
6977
* ``bzr`` with no command now shows help rather than giving an
6978
error. Suggested by Michael Ellerman.
6980
* ``bzr status`` output format changed, because svn-style output
6981
doesn't really match the model of bzr. Now files are grouped by
6982
status and can be shown with their IDs. ``bzr status --all``
6983
shows all versioned files and unknown files but not ignored files.
6985
* ``bzr log`` runs from most-recent to least-recent, the reverse
6986
of the previous order. The previous behaviour can be obtained
6987
with the ``--forward`` option.
6989
* ``bzr inventory`` by default shows only filenames, and also ids
6990
if ``--show-ids`` is given, in which case the id is the second
6996
* New 'bzr whoami --email' option shows only the email component
6997
of the user identification, from Jo Vermeulen.
6999
* New ``bzr ignore PATTERN`` command.
7001
* Nicer error message for broken pipe, interrupt and similar
7002
conditions that don't indicate an internal error.
7004
* Add ``.*.sw[nop] .git .*.tmp *,v`` to default ignore patterns.
7006
* Per-branch locks keyed on ``.bzr/branch-lock``, available in
7007
either read or write mode.
7009
* New option ``bzr log --show-ids`` shows revision and file ids.
7011
* New usage ``bzr log FILENAME`` shows only revisions that
7014
* Changed format for describing changes in ``bzr log -v``.
7016
* New option ``bzr commit --file`` to take a message from a file,
7017
suggested by LarstiQ.
7019
* New syntax ``bzr status [FILE...]`` contributed by Bartosz
7020
Oler. File may be in a branch other than the working directory.
7022
* ``bzr log`` and ``bzr root`` can be given an http URL instead of
7025
* Commands can now be defined by external programs or scripts
7026
in a directory on $BZRPATH.
7028
* New "stat cache" avoids reading the contents of files if they
7029
haven't changed since the previous time.
7031
* If the Python interpreter is too old, try to find a better one
7032
or give an error. Based on a patch from Fredrik Lundh.
7034
* New optional parameter ``bzr info [BRANCH]``.
7036
* New form ``bzr commit SELECTED`` to commit only selected files.
7038
* New form ``bzr log -r FROM:TO`` shows changes in selected
7039
range; contributed by John A Meinel.
7041
* New option ``bzr diff --diff-options 'OPTS'`` allows passing
7042
options through to an external GNU diff.
7044
* New option ``bzr add --no-recurse`` to add a directory but not
7047
* ``bzr --version`` now shows more information if bzr is being run
7053
* Fixed diff format so that added and removed files will be
7054
handled properly by patch. Fix from Lalo Martins.
7056
* Various fixes for files whose names contain spaces or other
7062
* Converted black-box test suites from Bourne shell into Python;
7063
now run using ``./testbzr``. Various structural improvements to
7066
* testbzr by default runs the version of bzr found in the same
7067
directory as the tests, or the one given as the first parameter.
7069
* testbzr also runs the internal tests, so the only command
7070
required to check is just ``./testbzr``.
7072
* testbzr requires python2.4, but can be used to test bzr running
7073
under a different version.
7075
* Tests added for many other changes in this release.
7080
* Included ElementTree library upgraded to 1.2.6 by Fredrik Lundh.
7082
* Refactor command functions into Command objects based on HCT by
7083
Scott James Remnant.
7085
* Better help messages for many commands.
7087
* Expose ``bzrlib.open_tracefile()`` to start the tracefile; until
7088
this is called trace messages are just discarded.
7090
* New internal function ``find_touching_revisions()`` and hidden
7091
command touching-revisions trace the changes to a given file.
7093
* Simpler and faster ``compare_inventories()`` function.
7095
* ``bzrlib.open_tracefile()`` takes a tracefilename parameter.
7097
* New AtomicFile class.
7099
* New developer commands ``added``, ``modified``.
7104
* Cope on Windows on python2.3 by using the weaker random seed.
7105
2.4 is now only recommended.
7108
bzr-0.0.4 2005-04-22
7109
---------------------
7113
* 'bzr diff' optionally takes a list of files to diff. Still a bit
7114
basic. Patch from QuantumG.
7116
* More default ignore patterns.
7118
* New 'bzr log --verbose' shows a list of files changed in the
7119
changeset. Patch from Sebastian Cote.
7121
* Roll over ~/.bzr.log if it gets too large.
7123
* Command abbreviations 'ci', 'st', 'stat', '?' based on a patch
7126
* New 'bzr help commands' based on a patch from Denys Duchier.
7131
* User email is determined by looking at $BZREMAIL or ~/.bzr.email
7132
or $EMAIL. All are decoded by the locale preferred encoding.
7133
If none of these are present user@hostname is used. The host's
7134
fully-qualified name is not used because that tends to fail when
7135
there are DNS problems.
7137
* New 'bzr whoami' command instead of username user-email.
7142
* Make commit safe for hardlinked bzr trees.
7144
* Some Unicode/locale fixes.
7146
* Partial workaround for ``difflib.unified_diff`` not handling
7147
trailing newlines properly.
7152
* Allow docstrings for help to be in PEP0257 format. Patch from
7155
* More tests in test.sh.
7157
* Write profile data to a temporary file not into working
7158
directory and delete it when done.
7160
* Smaller .bzr.log with process ids.
7165
* Fix opening of ~/.bzr.log on Windows. Patch from Andrew
7168
* Some improvements in handling paths on Windows, based on a patch
7172
bzr-0.0.3 2005-04-06
7173
---------------------
7177
* New "directories" internal command lists versioned directories
7180
* Can now say "bzr commit --help".
7182
* New "rename" command to rename one file to a different name
7185
* New "move" command to move one or more files into a different
7188
* New "renames" command lists files renamed since base revision.
7190
* New cat command contributed by janmar.
7194
* .bzr.log is placed in $HOME (not pwd) and is always written in
7195
UTF-8. (Probably not a completely good long-term solution, but
7200
* Workaround for difflib bug in Python 2.3 that causes an
7201
exception when comparing empty files. Reported by Erik Toubro
7206
* Refactored inventory storage to insert a root entry at the top.
7210
* Start of shell-based black-box testing in test.sh.
7218
* Win32 fixes from Steve Brown.
7221
bzr-0.0.2 "black cube" 2005-03-31
7222
-----------------------------------
7226
* Default ignore list extended (see bzrlib/__init__.py).
7228
* Patterns in .bzrignore are now added to the default ignore list,
7229
rather than replacing it.
7231
* Ignore list isn't reread for every file.
7235
* Reinstate the 'bzr check' command to check invariants of the
7238
* New 'ignored' command lists which files are ignored and why;
7239
'deleted' lists files deleted in the current working tree.
7241
* Performance improvements.
7243
* New global --profile option.
7245
* Ignore patterns like './config.h' now correctly match files in
7246
the root directory only.
7249
bzr-0.0.1 2005-03-26
7250
---------------------
7254
* More information from info command.
7256
* Can now say "bzr help COMMAND" for more detailed help.
7258
* Less file flushing and faster performance when writing logs and
7259
committing to stores.
7261
* More useful verbose output from some commands.
7265
* Fix inverted display of 'R' and 'M' during 'commit -v'.
7269
* Include a subset of ElementTree-1.2.20040618 to make
7270
installation easier.
7272
* Fix time.localtime call to work with Python 2.3 (the minimum
7276
bzr-0.0.0.69 2005-03-22
