15
* New ``commit_message_template`` hook that is called by the commit
16
code to generate a template commit message. (Jelmer Vernooij)
18
* New `shelve` and `unshelve` commands allow undoing and redoing changes.
23
* When making a large readv() request over ``bzr+ssh``, break up the
24
request into more manageable chunks. Because the RPC is not yet able
25
to stream, this helps keep us from buffering too much information at
26
once. (John Arbash Meinel)
30
* Better message when the user needs to set their Launchpad ID.
31
(Martin Pool, #289148)
33
* TooManyConcurrentRequests no longer occur when a fetch fails and
34
tries to abort a write group. This allows the root cause (e.g. a
35
network interruption) to be reported. (Andrew Bennetts, #297014)
37
* RemoteRepository.get_parent_map now uses fallback repositories.
38
(Aaron Bentley, #297991?, #293679?)
44
* ``Repository.abort_write_group`` now accepts an optional
45
``suppress_errors`` flag. Repository implementations that override
46
``abort_write_group`` will need to be updated to accept the new
47
argument. Subclasses that only override ``_abort_write_group``
50
* Transport implementations must provide copy_tree_to_transport. A default
51
implementation is provided for Transport subclasses.
55
* ``bzr selftest`` now fails if no doctests are found in a module
56
that's expected to have them. (Martin Pool)
58
* Doctests now only report the first failure. (Martin Pool)
66
This release of Bazaar adds a new repository format, ``1.9``, with smaller
67
and more efficient index files. This format can be specified when
68
creating a new repository, or used to losslessly upgrade an existing
69
repository. bzr 1.9 also speeds most operations over the smart server
70
protocol, makes annotate faster, and uses less memory when making
71
checkouts or pulling large amounts of data.
75
* Fix "invalid property value 'branch-nick' for None" regression with
76
branches bound to svn branches. (Martin Pool, #293440)
78
* Fix SSL/https on Python2.6. (Vincent Ladeuil, #293054)
80
* ``SFTPTransport.readv()`` had a bug when requests were out-of-order.
81
This only triggers some-of-the-time on Knit format repositories.
82
(John Arbash Meinel, #293746)
90
* New Branch hook ``transform_fallback_location`` allows a function to
91
be called when looking up the stacked source. (Michael Hudson)
93
* New repository formats ``1.9`` and ``1.9-rich-root``. These have all
94
the functionality of ``1.6``, but use the new btree indexes.
95
These indexes are both smaller and faster for access to historical
96
information. (John Arbash Meinel)
100
* ``BTreeIndex`` code now is able to prefetch extra pages to help tune
101
the tradeoff between bandwidth and latency. Should be tuned
102
appropriately to not impact commands which need minimal information,
103
but provide a significant boost to ones that need more context. Only
104
has a direct impact on the ``--development2`` format which uses
105
btree's for the indexes. (John Arbash Meinel)
107
* ``bzr dump-btree`` is a hidden command introduced to allow dumping
108
the contents of a compressed btree file. (John Arbash Meinel)
110
* ``bzr pack`` now tells the index builders to optimize for size. For
111
btree index repositories, this can save 25% of the index size
112
(mostly in the text indexes). (John Arbash Meinel)
114
* ``bzr push`` to an existing branch or repository on a smart server
115
is faster, due to Bazaar making more use of the ``get_parent_map``
116
RPC when querying the remote branch's revision graph.
119
* default username for bzr+ssh and sftp can be configured in
120
authentication.conf. (Aaron Bentley)
122
* launchpad-login now provides a default username for bzr+ssh and sftp
123
URLs, allowing username-free URLs to work for everyone. (Aaron Bentley)
125
* ``lp:`` lookups no longer include usernames, making them shareable and
126
shorter. (Aaron Bentley)
128
* New ``PackRepository.autopack`` smart server RPC, which does
129
autopacking entirely on the server. This is much faster than
130
autopacking via plain file methods, which downloads a large amount
131
of pack data and then re-uploads the same pack data into a single
132
file. This fixes a major (although infrequent) cause of lengthy
133
delays when using a smart server. For example, pushing the 10th
134
revision to a repository with 9 packs now takes 44 RPCs rather than
135
179, and much less bandwidth too. This requires Bazaar 1.9 on both
136
the client and the server, otherwise the client will fallback to the
137
slower method. (Andrew Bennetts)
141
* A failure to load a plugin due to an IncompatibleAPI exception is
142
now correctly reported. (Robert Collins, #279451)
144
* API versioning support now has a multiple-version checking api
145
``require_any_api``. (Robert Collins, #279447)
147
* ``bzr branch --stacked`` from a smart server to a standalone branch
148
works again. This fixes a regression in 1.7 and 1.8.
149
(Andrew Bennetts, #270397)
151
* ``bzr co`` uses less memory. It used to unpack the entire WT into
152
memory before writing it to disk. This was a little bit faster, but
153
consumed lots of memory. (John Arbash Meinel, #269456)
155
* ``bzr missing --quiet`` no longer prints messages about whether
156
there are missing revisions. The exit code indicates whether there
157
were or not. (Martin Pool, #284748)
159
* Fixes to the ``annotate`` code. The fast-path which re-used the
160
stored deltas was accidentally disabled all the time, instead of
161
only when a branch was stacked. Second, the code would accidentally
162
re-use a delta even if it wasn't against the left-parent, this
163
could only happen if ``bzr reconcile`` decided that the parent
164
ordering was incorrect in the file graph. (John Arbash Meinel)
166
* "Permission denied" errors that occur when pushing a new branch to a
167
smart server no longer cause tracebacks. (Andrew Bennetts, #278673)
169
* Some compatibility fixes for building the extensions with MSVC and
170
for python2.4. (John Arbash Meinel, #277484)
172
* The index logic is now able to reload the list of pack files if and
173
index ends up disappearing. We still don't reload if the pack data
174
itself goes missing after checking the index. This bug appears as a
175
transient failure (file not found) when another process is writing
176
to the repository. (John Arbash Meinel, #153786)
178
* ``bzr switch`` and ``bzr bind`` will now update the branch nickname if
179
it was previously set. All checkouts will now refer to the bound branch
180
for a nickname if one was not explicitly set.
181
(Marius Kruger, #230903)
185
* Improved hook documentation. (Michael Ernst)
189
* commands.plugins_cmds is now a CommandRegistry, not a dict.
193
* New AuthenticationConfig.set_credentials method allows easy programmatic
194
configuration of authetication credentials.
200
Bazaar 1.8 includes several fixes that improve working tree performance,
201
display of revision logs, and merges. The bzr testsuite now passes on OS
202
X and Python 2.6, and almost completely passes on Windows. The
203
smartserver code has gained several bug fixes and performance
204
improvements, and can now run server-side hooks within an http server.
208
* Fix "Must end write group" error when another error occurs during
209
``bzr push``. (Andrew Bennetts, #230902)
213
* Some Pyrex versions require the WIN32 macro defined to compile on
214
that platform. (Alexander Belchenko, Martin Pool, #277481)
217
bzr 1.8rc1 2008-10-07
218
---------------------
222
* ``bzr log file`` has been changed. It now uses a different method
223
for determining which revisions to show as merging the changes to
224
the file. It now only shows revisions which merged the change
225
towards your mainline. This simplifies the output, makes it faster,
226
and reduces memory consumption. (John Arbash Meinel)
228
* ``bzr merge`` now defaults to having ``--reprocess`` set, whenever
229
``--show-base`` is not supplied. (John Arbash Meinel)
231
* ``bzr+http//`` will now optionally load plugins and write logs on the
232
server. (Marius Kruger)
234
* ``bzrlib._dirstate_helpers_c.pyx`` does not compile correctly with
235
Pyrex 0.9.4.1 (it generates C code which causes segfaults). We
236
explicitly blacklist that version of the compiler for that
237
extension. Packaged versions will include .c files created with
238
pyrex >= 0.9.6 so it doesn't effect releases, only users running
239
from the source tree. (John Arbash Meinel, #276868)
243
* bzr is now compatible with python-2.6. python-2.6 is not yet officially
244
supported (nor released, tests were conducted with the dev version of
245
python-2.6rc2), but all known problems have been fixed. Feedback
247
(Vincent Ladeuil, #269535)
251
* ``bzr annotate`` will now include uncommitted changes from the local
252
working tree by default. Such uncommitted changes are given the
253
revision number they would get if a commit was done, followed with a
254
? to indicate that its not actually known. (Robert Collins, #3439)
256
* ``bzr branch`` now accepts a ``--standalone`` option, which creates a
257
standalone branch regardless of the presence of shared repositories.
260
* ``bzr push`` is faster in the case there are no new revisions to
261
push. It is also faster if there are no tags in the local branch.
264
* File changes during a commit will update the tree stat cache.
267
* Location aliases can now accept a trailing path. (Micheal Hudson)
269
* New hooks ``Lock.hooks`` when LockDirs are acquired and released.
270
(Robert Collins, MartinPool)
272
* Switching in heavyweight checkouts uses the master branch's context, not
273
the checkout's context. (Adrian Wilkins)
275
* ``status`` on large trees is now faster, due to optimisations in the
276
walkdirs code. Of particular note, the walkdirs code now performs
277
a temporary ``chdir()`` while reading a single directory; if your
278
platform has non thread-local current working directories (and is
279
not windows which has its own implementation), this may introduce a
280
race condition during concurrent uses of bzrlib. The bzrlib CLI
281
will not encounter this as it is single threaded for working tree
282
operations. (Robert Collins)
284
* The C extensions now build on python 2.4 (Robert Collins, #271939)
286
* The ``-Dhpss`` debug flag now reports the number of smart server
287
calls per medium to stderr. This is in addition to the existing
288
detailed logging to the .bzr.log trace file. (Andrew Bennetts)
292
* Avoid random failures arising from misinterpreted ``errno`` values
293
in ``_readdir_pyx.read_dir``.
294
(Martin Pool, #279381)
296
* Branching from a shared repository on a smart server into a new
297
repository now preserves the repository format.
298
(Andrew Bennetts, #269214)
300
* ``bzr log`` now accepts a ``--change`` option.
301
(Vincent Ladeuil, #248427)
303
* ``bzr missing`` now accepts an ``--include-merges`` option.
304
(Vincent Ladeuil, #233817)
306
* Don't try to filter (internally) '.bzr' from the files to be deleted if
308
(Vincent Ladeuil, #272648)
310
* Fix '_in_buffer' AttributeError when using the -Dhpss debug flag.
313
* Fix TooManyConcurrentRequests errors caused by a connection failure
314
when doing ``bzr pull`` or ``bzr merge`` from a ``bzr+ssh`` URL.
315
(Andrew Bennetts, #246233)
317
* Fixed ``bzr st -r branch:PATH_TO_BRANCH`` where the other branch
318
is in a different repository than the current one.
319
(Lukáš Lalinský, #144421)
321
* Make the first line of the manpage preamble a comment again.
322
(David Futcher, #242106)
324
* Remove use of optional parameter in GSSAPI FTP support, since
325
it breaks newer versions of Python-Kerberos. (Jelmer Vernooij)
327
* The autopacking logic will now always create a single new pack from
328
all of the content which it deems is worth moving. This avoids the
329
'repack a single pack' bug and should result in better packing
330
overall. (John Arbash Meinel, #242510, #172644)
332
* Trivial documentation fix.
333
(John Arbash Meinel, #270471)
335
* ``bzr switch`` and ``bzr bind`` will now update the branch nickname if
336
it was previously set. All checkouts will now refer to the bound branch
337
for a nickname if one was not explicitly set.
338
(Marius Kruger, #230903)
342
* Explain revision/range identifiers. (Daniel Clemente)
346
* ``CommitBuilder.record_entry_contents`` returns one more element in
347
its result tuple - an optional file system hash for the hash cache
348
to use. (Robert Collins)
350
* ``dirstate.DirState.update_entry`` will now only calculate the sha1
351
of a file if it is likely to be needed in determining the output
352
of iter_changes. (Robert Collins)
354
* The PackRepository, RepositoryPackCollection, NewPack classes have a
355
slightly changed interface to support different index types; as a
356
result other users of these classes need to supply the index types
357
they want. (Robert Collins)
361
* ``bzrlib.tests.repository_implementations`` has been renamed to
362
``bzrlib.tests.per_repository`` so that we have a common structure
363
(and it is shorter). (John Arbash Meinel, #239343)
365
* ``LocalTransport.abspath()`` now returns a drive letter if the
366
transport has one, fixing numerous tests on Windows.
369
* PreviewTree is now tested via intertree_implementations.
372
* The full test suite is passing again on OSX.
373
(Guillermo Gonzalez, Vincent Ladeuil)
375
* The full test suite passes when run with ``-Eallow_debug``.
380
* A new hook, ``Branch.open``, has been added, which is called when
381
branch objects are opened. (Robert Collins)
383
* ``bzrlib.osutils._walkdirs_utf8`` has been refactored into common
384
tree walking, and modular directory listing code to aid future
385
performance optimisations and refactoring. (Robert Collins)
387
* ``bzrlib.trace.debug_memory`` can be used to get a quick memory dump
388
in the middle of processing. It only reports memory if
389
``/proc/PID/status`` is available. (John Arbash Meinel)
391
* New method ``RevisionSpec.as_tree`` for representing the revision
392
specifier as a revision tree object. (Lukáš Lalinský)
394
* New race-free method on MutableTree ``get_file_with_stat`` for use
395
when generating stat cache results. (Robert Collins)
397
* New win32utils.get_local_appdata_location() provides access to a local
398
directory for storing data. (Mark Hammond)
400
* To be compatible with python-2.6 a few new rules should be
401
observed. 'message' attribute can't be used anymore in exception
402
classes, 'sha' and 'md5' modules have been deprecated (use
403
osutils.[md5|sha]), object__init__ and object.__new__ don't accept
411
No changes from 1.7.1rc1.
414
bzr 1.7.1rc1 2008-09-24
415
-----------------------
417
This release just includes an update to how the merge algorithm handles
418
file paths when we encounter complex history.
422
* If we encounter a criss-cross in history, use information from
423
direct Least Common Ancestors to resolve inventory shape (locations
424
of files, adds, deletes, etc). This is similar in concept to using
425
``--lca`` for merging file texts, only applied to paths.
432
This release includes many bug fixes and a few performance and feature
433
improvements. ``bzr rm`` will now scan for missing files and remove them,
434
like how ``bzr add`` scans for unknown files and adds them. A bit more
435
polish has been applied to the stacking code. The b-tree indexing code has
436
been brought in, with an eye on using it in a future repository format.
437
There are only minor installer changes since bzr-1.7rc2.
441
* Some small updates to the win32 installer. Include localization
442
files found in plugins, and include the builtin distutils as part of
443
packaging qbzr. (Mark Hammond)
446
bzr 1.7rc2 2008-09-17
447
---------------------
449
A few bug fixes from 1.7rc1. The biggest change is a new
450
``RemoteBranch.get_stacked_on_url`` rpc. This allows clients that are
451
trying to access a Stacked branch over the smart protocol, to properly
452
connect to the stacked-on location.
456
* Branching from a shared repository on a smart server into a new
457
repository now preserves the repository format.
458
(Andrew Bennetts, #269214)
460
* Branching from a stacked branch via ``bzr+ssh`` can properly connect
461
to the stacked-on branch. (Martin Pool, #261315)
463
* ``bzr init`` no longer re-opens the BzrDir multiple times.
466
* Fix '_in_buffer' AttributeError when using the -Dhpss debug flag.
470
bzr 1.7rc1 2008-09-09
471
---------------------
473
This release candidate for bzr 1.7 has several bug fixes and a few
474
performance and feature improvements. ``bzr rm`` will now scan for
475
missing files and remove them, like how ``bzr add`` scans for unknown
476
files and adds them. A bit more polish has been applied to the stacking
477
code. The b-tree indexing code has been brought in, with an eye on using
478
it in a future repository format.
483
* ``bzr export`` can now export a subdirectory of a project.
486
* ``bzr remove-tree`` will now refuse to remove a tree with uncommitted
487
changes, unless the ``--force`` option is specified.
488
(Lukáš Lalinský, #74101)
490
* ``bzr rm`` will now scan for files that are missing and remove just
491
them automatically, much as ``bzr add`` scans for new files that
492
are not ignored and adds them automatically. (Robert Collins)
496
* Support for GSSAPI authentication when using FTP as documented in
497
RFC2228. (Jelmer Vernooij, #49623)
499
* Add support for IPv6 in the smart server. (Jelmer Vernooij, #165014)
503
* A url like ``log+file:///tmp`` will log all access to that Transport
504
to ``.bzr.log``, which may help in debugging or profiling.
507
* ``bzr branch`` and ``bzr push`` use the default stacking policy if the
508
branch format supports it. (Aaron Bentley)
510
* ``bzr init`` and ``bzr init-repo`` will now print out the same as
511
``bzr info`` if it completed successfully.
514
* ``bzr uncommit`` logs the old tip revision id, and displays how to
515
restore the branch to that tip using ``bzr pull``. This allows you
516
to recover if you realize you uncommitted the wrong thing.
519
* Fix problems in accessing stacked repositories over ``bzr://``.
520
(Martin Pool, #261315)
522
* ``SFTPTransport.readv()`` was accidentally using ``list += string``,
523
which 'works', but adds each character separately to the list,
524
rather than using ``list.append(string)``. Fixing this makes the
525
SFTP transport a little bit faster (~20%) and use a bit less memory.
528
* When reading index files, if we happen to read the whole file in a
529
single request treat it as a ``_buffer_all`` request. This happens
530
most often on small indexes over remote transports, where we default
531
to reading 64kB. It saves a round trip for each small index during
532
fetch operations. Also, if we have read more than 50% of an index
533
file, trigger a ``_buffer_all`` on the next request. This works
534
around some inefficiencies because reads don't fall neatly on page
535
boundaries, so we would ignore those bytes, but request them again
536
later. This could trigger a total read size of more than the whole
537
file. (John Arbash Meinel)
541
* ``bzr rm`` is now aliased to ``bzr del`` for the convenience of svn
542
users. (Robert Collins, #205416)
544
* Catch the infamous "select/poll returned error" which occurs when
545
pycurl try to send a body request to an HTTP/1.0 server which has
546
already refused to handle the request. (Vincent Ladeuil, #225020)
548
* Fix ``ObjectNotLocked`` errors when using various commands
549
(including ``bzr cat`` and ``bzr annotate``) in combination with a
550
smart server URL. (Andrew Bennetts, #237067)
552
* ``FTPTransport.stat()`` would return ``0000`` as the permission bits
553
for the containing ``.bzr/`` directory (it does not implement
554
permissions). This would cause us to set all subdirectories to
555
``0700`` and files to ``0600`` rather than leaving them unmodified.
556
Now we ignore ``0000`` as the permissions and assume they are
557
invalid. (John Arbash Meinel, #259855)
559
* Merging from a previously joined branch will no longer cause
560
a traceback. (Jelmer Vernooij, #203376)
562
* Pack operations on windows network shares will work even with large
563
files. (Robert Collins, #255656)
565
* Running ``bzr st PATH_TO_TREE`` will no longer suppress merge
566
status. Status is also about 7% faster on mozilla sized trees
567
when the path to the root of the tree has been given. Users of
568
the internal ``show_tree_status`` function should be aware that
569
the show_pending flag is now authoritative for showing pending
570
merges, as it was originally. (Robert Collins, #225204)
572
* Set valid default _param_name for Option so that ListOption can embed
573
'-' in names. (Vincent Ladeuil, #263249)
575
* Show proper error rather than traceback when an unknown revision
576
id is specified to ``bzr cat-revision``. (Jelmer Vernooij, #175569)
578
* Trailing text in the dirstate file could cause the C dirstate parser
579
to try to allocate an invalid amount of memory. We now properly
580
check and test for parsing a dirstate with invalid trailing data.
581
(John Arbash Meinel, #186014)
583
* Unexpected error responses from a smart server no longer cause the
584
client to traceback. (Andrew Bennetts, #263527)
586
* Use a Windows api function to get a Unicode host name, rather than
587
assuming the host name is ascii.
588
(Mark Hammond, John Arbash Meinel, #256550)
590
* ``WorkingTree4`` trees will now correctly report missing-and-new
591
paths in the output of ``iter_changes``. (Robert Collins)
595
* Updated developer documentation. (Martin Pool)
599
* Exporters now take 4 parameters. (Robert Collins)
601
* ``Tree.iter_changes`` will now return False for the content change
602
field when a file is missing in the basis tree and not present in
603
the target tree. Previously it returned True unconditionally.
606
* The deprecated ``Branch.abspath`` and unimplemented
607
``Branch.rename_one`` and ``Branch.move`` were removed. (Jelmer Vernooij)
609
* BzrDir.clone_on_transport implementations must now accept a stacked_on
610
parameter. (Aaron Bentley)
612
* BzrDir.cloning_metadir implementations must now take a require_stacking
613
parameter. (Aaron Bentley)
617
* ``addCleanup`` now takes ``*arguments`` and ``**keyword_arguments``
618
which are then passed to the cleanup callable as it is run. In
619
addition, addCleanup no longer requires that the callables passed to
620
it be unique. (Jonathan Lange)
622
* Fix some tests that fail on Windows because files are deleted while
626
* ``selftest``'s ``--starting-with`` option can now use predefined
627
prefixes so that one can say ``bzr selftest -s bp.loom`` instead of
628
``bzr selftest -s bzrlib.plugins.loom``. (Vincent Ladeuil)
630
* ``selftest``'s ``--starting-with`` option now accepts multiple values.
635
* A new plugin interface, ``bzrlib.log.log_adapters``, has been added.
636
This allows dynamic log output filtering by plugins.
639
* ``bzrlib.btree_index`` is now available, providing a b-tree index
640
layer. The design is memory conservative (limited memory cache),
641
faster to seek (approx 100 nodes per page, gives 100-way fan out),
642
and stores compressed pages allowing more keys per page.
643
(Robert Collins, John Arbash Meinel)
645
* ``bzrlib.diff.DiffTree.show_diff`` now skips changes where the kind
646
is unknown in both source and target.
647
(Robert Collins, Aaron Bentley)
649
* ``GraphIndexBuilder.add_node`` and ``BTreeBuilder`` have been
650
streamlined a bit. This should make creating large indexes faster.
651
(In benchmarking, it now takes less time to create a BTree index than
652
it takes to read the GraphIndex one.) (John Arbash Meinel)
654
* Mail clients for `bzr send` are now listed in a registry. This
655
allows plugins to add new clients by registering them with
656
``bzrlib.mail_client.mail_client_registry``. All of the built-in
657
clients now use this mechanism. (Neil Martinsen-Burrell)
663
A couple regressions were found in the 1.6 release. There was a
664
performance issue when using ``bzr+ssh`` to branch large repositories,
665
and some problems with stacking and ``rich-root`` capable repositories.
668
bzr 1.6.1rc2 2008-09-03
669
-----------------------
673
* Copying between ``rich-root`` and ``rich-root-pack`` (and vice
674
versa) was accidentally using the inter-model fetcher, instead of
675
recognizing that both were 'rich root' formats.
676
(John Arbash Meinel, #264321)
679
bzr 1.6.1rc1 2008-08-29
680
-----------------------
682
This release fixes a few regressions found in the 1.6 client. Fetching
683
changes was using an O(N^2) buffering algorithm, so for large projects it
684
would cause memory thrashing. There is also a specific problem with the
685
``--1.6-rich-root`` format, which prevented stacking on top of
686
``--rich-root-pack`` repositories, and could allow users to accidentally
687
fetch experimental data (``-subtree``) without representing it properly.
688
The ``--1.6-rich-root`` format has been deprecated and users are
689
recommended to upgrade to ``--1.6.1-rich-root`` immediately. Also we
690
re-introduced a workaround for users who have repositories with incorrect
691
nodes (not possible if you only used official releases).
692
I should also clarify that none of this is data loss level issues, but
693
still sufficient enough to warrant an updated release.
697
* ``RemoteTransport.readv()`` was being inefficient about how it
698
buffered the readv data and processed it. It would keep appending to
699
the same string (causing many copies) and then pop bytes out of the
700
start of the string (causing more copies).
701
With this patch "bzr+ssh://local" can improve dramatically,
702
especially for projects with large files.
705
* Revision texts were always meant to be stored as fulltexts. There
706
was a bug in a bzr.dev version that would accidentally create deltas
707
when copying from a Pack repo to a Knit repo. This has been fixed,
708
but to support those repositories, we know always request full texts
709
for Revision texts. (John Arbash Meinel, #261339)
711
* The previous ``--1.6-rich-root`` format used an incorrect xml
712
serializer, which would accidentally support fetching from a
713
repository that supported subtrees, even though the local one would
714
not. We deprecated that format, and introduced a new one that uses
715
the correct serializer ``--1.6.1-rich-root``.
716
(John Arbash Meinel, #262333)
722
Finally, the long awaited bzr 1.6 has been released. This release includes
723
new features like Stacked Branches, improved weave merge, and an updated
724
server protocol (now on v3) which will allow for better cross version
725
compatibility. With this release we have deprecated Knit format
726
repositories, and recommend that users upgrade them, we will continue to
727
support reading and writing them for the forseeable future, but we will
728
not be tuning them for performance as pack repositories have proven to be
729
better at scaling. This will also be the first release to bundle
730
TortoiseBzr in the standalone Windows installer.
733
bzr 1.6rc5 2008-08-19
734
---------------------
738
* Disable automatic detection of stacking based on a containing
739
directory of the target. It interacted badly with push, and needs a
740
bit more work to get the edges polished before it should happen
741
automatically. (John Arbash Meinel, #259275)
742
(This change was reverted when merged to bzr.dev)
745
bzr 1.6rc4 2008-08-18
746
---------------------
750
* Fix a regression in knit => pack fetching. We had a logic
751
inversion, causing the fetch to insert fulltexts in random order,
752
rather than preserving deltas. (John Arbash Meinel, #256757)
755
bzr 1.6rc3 2008-08-14
756
---------------------
760
* Disable reading ``.bzrrules`` as a per-branch rule preferences
761
file. The feature was not quite ready for a full release.
766
* Update the windows installer to bundle TortoiseBzr and ``qbzr``
767
into the standalone installer. This will be the first official
768
windows release that installs Tortoise by default.
773
* Fix a regression in ``bzr+http`` support. There was a missing
774
function (``_read_line``) that needed to be carried over from
775
``bzr+ssh`` support. (Andrew Bennetts)
777
* ``GraphIndex`` objects will internally read an entire index if more
778
than 1/20th of their keyspace is requested in a single operation.
779
This largely mitigates a performance regression in ``bzr log FILE``
780
and completely corrects the performance regression in ``bzr log``.
781
The regression was caused by removing an accomodation which had been
782
supporting the index format in use. A newer index format is in
783
development which is substantially faster. (Robert Collins)
786
bzr 1.6rc2 2008-08-13
787
---------------------
789
This release candidate has a few minor bug fixes, and some regression
794
* ``bzr upgrade`` on remote branches accessed via bzr:// and
795
bzr+ssh:// now works. (Andrew Bennetts)
797
* Change the ``get_format_description()`` strings for
798
``RepositoryFormatKnitPack5`` et al to be single line messages.
801
* Fix for a regression on Win32 where we would try to call
802
``os.listdir()`` on a file and not catch the exception properly.
803
(Windows raises a different exception.) This would manifest in
804
places like ``bzr rm file`` or ``bzr switch``.
805
(Mark Hammond, John Arbash Meinel)
807
* ``Inventory.copy()`` was failing to set the revision property for
808
the root entry. (Jelmer Vernooij)
810
* sftp transport: added missing ``FileExists`` case to
811
``_translate_io_exception`` (Christophe Troestler, #123475)
813
* The help for ``bzr ignored`` now suggests ``bzr ls --ignored`` for
814
scripting use. (Robert Collins, #3834)
816
* The default ``annotate`` logic will now always assign the
817
last-modified value of a line to one of the revisions that modified
818
it, rather than a merge revision. This would happen when both sides
819
claimed to have modified the line resulting in the same text. The
820
choice is arbitrary but stable, so merges in different directions
821
will get the same results. (John Arbash Meinel, #232188)
824
bzr 1.6rc1 2008-08-06
825
---------------------
827
This release candidate for bzr 1.6 solidifies the new branch stacking
828
feature. Bazaar now recommends that users upgrade all knit repositories,
829
because later formats are much faster. However, we plan to continue read/write and
830
upgrade support for knit repostories for the forseeable future. Several
831
other bugs and performance issues were fixed.
835
* Knit format repositories are deprecated and bzr will now emit
836
warnings whenever it encounters one. Use ``bzr upgrade`` to upgrade
837
knit repositories to pack format. (Andrew Bennetts)
841
* ``bzr check`` can now be told which elements at a location it should
842
check. (Daniel Watkins)
844
* Commit now supports ``--exclude`` (or ``-x``) to exclude some files
845
from the commit. (Robert Collins, #3117)
847
* Fetching data between repositories that have the same model but no
848
optimised fetcher will not reserialise all the revisions, increasing
849
performance. (Robert Collins, John Arbash Meinel)
851
* Give a more specific error when target branch is not reachable.
854
* Implemented a custom ``walkdirs_utf8`` implementation for win32.
855
This uses a pyrex extension to get direct access to the
856
``FindFirstFileW`` style apis, rather than using ``listdir`` +
857
``lstat``. Shows a very strong improvement in commands like
858
``status`` and ``diff`` which have to iterate the working tree.
859
Anywhere from 2x-6x faster depending on the size of the tree (bigger
860
trees, bigger benefit.) (John Arbash Meinel)
862
* New registry for log properties handles and the method in
863
LongLogFormatter to display the custom properties returned by the
864
registered handlers. (Guillermo Gonzalez, #162469)
868
* Add more tests that stacking does not create deltas spanning
869
physical repository boundaries.
870
(Martin Pool, #252428)
872
* Better message about incompatible repositories.
873
(Martin Pool, #206258)
875
* ``bzr branch --stacked`` ensures the destination branch format can
876
support stacking, even if the origin does not.
879
* ``bzr export`` no longer exports ``.bzrrules``.
882
* ``bzr serve --directory=/`` now correctly allows the whole
883
filesystem to be accessed on Windows, not just the root of the drive
884
that Python is running from.
885
(Adrian Wilkins, #240910)
887
* Deleting directories by hand before running ``bzr rm`` will not
888
cause subsequent errors in ``bzr st`` and ``bzr commit``.
889
(Robert Collins, #150438)
891
* Fix a test case that was failing if encoding wasn't UTF-8.
892
(John Arbash Meinel, #247585)
894
* Fix "no buffer space available" error when branching with the new
895
smart server protocol to or from Windows.
896
(Andrew Bennetts, #246180)
898
* Fixed problem in branching from smart server.
899
(#249256, Michael Hudson, Martin Pool)
901
* Handle a file turning in to a directory in TreeTransform.
902
(James Westby, #248448)
906
* ``MutableTree.commit`` has an extra optional keywork parameter
907
``exclude`` that will be unconditionally supplied by the command
908
line UI - plugins that add tree formats may need an update.
911
* The API minimum version for plugin compatibility has been raised to
912
1.6 - there are significant changes throughout the code base.
915
* The generic fetch code now uses three attributes on Repository objects
916
to control fetch. The streams requested are controlled via :
917
``_fetch_order`` and ``_fetch_uses_deltas``. Setting these
918
appropriately allows different repository implementations to recieve
919
data in their optimial form. If the ``_fetch_reconcile`` is set then
920
a reconcile operation is triggered at the end of the fetch.
923
* The ``put_on_disk`` and ``get_tar_item`` methods in
924
``InventoryEntry`` were deprecated. (Ian Clatworthy)
926
* ``Repository.is_shared`` doesn't take a read lock. It didn't
927
need one in the first place (nobody cached the value, and
928
``RemoteRepository`` wasn't taking one either). This saves a round
929
trip when probing Pack repositories, as they read the ``pack-names``
930
file when locked. And during probe, locking the repo isn't very
931
useful. (John Arbash Meinel)
935
* ``bzrlib.branchbuilder.BranchBuilder`` is now much more capable of
936
putting together a real history without having to create a full
937
WorkingTree. It is recommended that tests that are not directly
938
testing the WorkingTree use BranchBuilder instead. See
939
``BranchBuilder.build_snapshot`` or
940
``TestCaseWithMemoryTree.make_branch_builder``. (John Arbash Meinel)
942
* ``bzrlib.builtins.internal_tree_files`` broken into two giving a new
943
helper ``safe_relpath_files`` - used by the new ``exclude``
944
parameter to commit. (Robert Collins)
946
* Make it easier to introduce new WorkingTree formats.
949
* The code for exporting trees was refactored not to use the
950
deprecated ``InventoryEntry`` methods. (Ian Clatworthy)
952
* RuleSearchers return () instead of [] now when there are no matches.
956
bzr 1.6beta3 2008-07-17
957
-----------------------
959
This release adds a new 'stacked branches' feature allowing branches to
960
share storage without being in the same repository or on the same machine.
961
(See the user guide for more details.) It also adds a new hook, improved
962
weaves, aliases for related locations, faster bzr+ssh push, and several
967
* New ``pre_change_branch_tip`` hook that is called before the
968
branch tip is moved, while the branch is write-locked. See the User
969
Reference for signature details. (Andrew Bennetts)
971
* Rule-based preferences can now be defined for selected files in
972
selected branches, allowing commands and plugins to provide
973
custom behaviour for files matching defined patterns.
974
See ``Rule-based preferences`` (part of ``Configuring Bazaar``)
975
in the User Guide and ``bzr help rules`` for more information.
978
* Sites may suggest a branch to stack new branches on. (Aaron Bentley)
980
* Stacked branches are now supported. See ``bzr help branch`` and
981
``bzr help push``. Branches must be in the ``development1`` format
982
to stack, though the stacked-on branch can be of any format.
987
* ``bzr export --format=tgz --root=NAME -`` to export a gzipped tarball
988
to stdout; also ``tar`` and ``tbz2``.
991
* ``bzr (re)merge --weave`` will now use a standard Weave algorithm,
992
rather than the annotation-based merge it was using. It does so by
993
building up a Weave of the important texts, without needing to build
994
the full ancestry. (John Arbash Meinel, #238895)
996
* ``bzr send`` documents and better supports ``emacsclient`` (proper
997
escaping of mail headers and handling of the MUA Mew).
998
(Christophe Troestler)
1000
* Remembered locations can be specified by aliases, e.g. :parent, :public,
1001
:submit. (Aaron Bentley)
1003
* The smart protocol now has improved support for setting branches'
1004
revision info directly. This makes operations like push
1005
faster. The new request method name is
1006
``Branch.set_last_revision_ex``. (Andrew Bennetts)
1010
* Bazaar is now able to be a client to the web server of IIS 6 and 7.
1011
The broken implementations of RFC822 in Python and RFC2046 in IIS
1012
combined with boundary-line checking in Bazaar previously made this
1013
impossible. (NB, IIS 5 does not suffer from this problem).
1014
(Adrian Wilkins, #247585)
1016
* ``bzr log --long`` with a ghost in your mainline now handles that
1017
ghost properly. (John Arbash Meinel, #243536)
1019
* ``check`` handles the split-up .bzr layout correctly, so no longer
1020
requires a branch to be present.
1021
(Daniel Watkins, #64783)
1023
* Clearer message about how to set the PYTHONPATH if bzrlib can't be
1025
(Martin Pool, #205230)
1027
* Errors about missing libraries are now shown without a traceback,
1028
and with a suggestion to install the library. The full traceback is
1029
still in ``.bzr.log`` and can be shown with ``-Derror``.
1030
(Martin Pool, #240161)
1032
* Fetch from a stacked branch copies all required data.
1033
(Aaron Bentley, #248506)
1035
* Handle urls such as ftp://user@host.com@www.host.com where the user
1037
(Neil Martinsen-Burrell, #228058)
1039
* ``needs_read_lock`` and ``needs_write_lock`` now suppress an error during
1040
``unlock`` if there was an error in the original function. This helps
1041
most when there is a failure with a smart server action, since often the
1042
connection closes and we cannot unlock.
1043
(Andrew Bennetts, John Arbash Meinel, #125784)
1045
* Obsolete hidden command ``bzr fetch`` removed.
1046
(Martin Pool, #172870)
1048
* Raise the correct exception when doing ``-rbefore:0`` or ``-c0``.
1049
(John Arbash Meinel, #239933)
1051
* You can now compare file revisions in Windows diff programs from
1053
(Matt McClure, #209281)
1055
* revision_history now tolerates mainline ghosts for Branch format 6.
1056
(Aaron Bentley, #235055)
1058
* Set locale from environment for third party libs.
1059
(Martin von Gagern, #128496)
1063
* Added *Using stacked branches* to the User Guide.
1066
* Updated developer documentation.
1071
* ``-Dmemory`` will cause /proc/PID/status to be catted before bzr
1072
exits, allowing low-key analysis of peak memory use. (Robert Collins)
1074
* ``TestCaseWithTransport.make_branch_and_tree`` tries harder to return
1075
a tree with a ``branch`` attribute of the right format. This was
1076
preventing some ``RemoteBranch`` tests from actually running with
1077
``RemoteBranch`` instances. (Andrew Bennetts)
1081
* Removed ``Repository.text_store``, ``control_store``, etc. Instead,
1082
there are new attributes ``texts, inventories, revisions,
1083
signatures``, each of which is a ``VersionedFiles``. See the
1084
Repository docstring for more details.
1087
* ``Branch.pull`` now accepts an ``_override_hook_target`` optional
1088
parameter. If you have a subclass of ``Branch`` that overrides
1089
``pull`` then you should add this parameter. (Andrew Bennetts)
1091
* ``bzrlib.check.check()`` has been deprecated in favour of the more
1092
aptly-named ``bzrlib.check.check_branch()``.
1095
* ``Tree.print_file`` and ``Repository.print_file`` are deprecated.
1096
These methods are bad APIs because they write directly to sys.stdout.
1097
bzrlib does not use them internally, and there are no direct tests
1098
for them. (Alexander Belchenko)
1102
* ``cat`` command no longer uses ``Tree.print_file()`` internally.
1103
(Alexander Belchenko)
1105
* New class method ``BzrDir.open_containing_tree_branch_or_repository``
1106
which eases the discovery of the tree, the branch and the repository
1107
containing a given location.
1110
* New ``versionedfile.KeyMapper`` interface to abstract out the access to
1111
underlying .knit/.kndx etc files in repositories with partitioned
1112
storage. (Robert Collins)
1114
* Obsolete developer-use command ``weave-join`` has been removed.
1117
* ``RemoteToOtherFetcher`` and ``get_data_stream_for_search`` removed,
1118
to support new ``VersionedFiles`` layering.
1122
bzr 1.6beta2 2008-06-10
1123
-----------------------
1125
This release contains further progress towards our 1.6 goals of shallow
1126
repositories, and contains a fix for some user-affecting bugs in the
1127
repository layer. Building working trees during checkout and branch is
1132
* Avoid KnitCorrupt error extracting inventories from some repositories.
1133
(The data is not corrupt; an internal check is detecting a problem
1134
reading from the repository.)
1135
(Martin Pool, Andrew Bennetts, Robert Collins, #234748)
1137
* ``bzr status`` was breaking if you merged the same revision twice.
1138
(John Arbash Meinel, #235407)
1140
* Fix infinite loop consuming 100% CPU when a connection is lost while
1141
reading a response body via the smart protocol v1 or v2.
1144
* Inserting a bundle which changes the contents of a file with no trailing
1145
end of line, causing a knit snapshot in a 'knits' repository will no longer
1146
cause KnitCorrupt. (Robert Collins)
1148
* ``RemoteBranch.pull`` needs to return the ``self._real_branch``'s
1149
pull result. It was instead just returning None, which breaks ``bzr
1150
pull``. (John Arbash Meinel, #238149)
1152
* Sanitize branch nick before using it as an attachment filename in
1153
``bzr send``. (Lukáš Lalinský, #210218)
1155
* Squash ``inv_entry.symlink_target`` to a plain string when
1156
generating DirState details. This prevents from getting a
1157
``UnicodeError`` when you have symlinks and non-ascii filenames.
1158
(John Arbash Meinel, #135320)
1162
* Added the 'alias' command to set/unset and display aliases. (Tim Penhey)
1164
* ``added``, ``modified``, and ``unknowns`` behaviour made consistent (all three
1165
now quote paths where required). Added ``--null`` option to ``added`` and
1166
``modified`` (for null-separated unknowns, use ``ls --unknown --null``)
1169
* Faster branching (1.09x) and lightweight checkouts (1.06x) on large trees.
1170
(Ian Clatworthy, Aaron Bentley)
1174
* Added *Bazaar Zen* section to the User Guide. (Ian Clatworthy)
1178
* Fix the test HTTPServer to be isolated from chdir calls made while it is
1179
running, allowing it to be used in blackbox tests. (Robert Collins)
1183
* ``WorkingTree.set_parent_(ids/trees)`` will now filter out revisions
1184
which are in the ancestry of other revisions. So if you merge the same
1185
tree twice, or merge an ancestor of an existing merge, it will only
1186
record the newest. (If you merge a descendent, it will replace its
1187
ancestor). (John Arbash Meinel, #235407)
1189
* ``RepositoryPolicy.__init__`` now requires stack_on and stack_on_pwd,
1190
through the derived classes do not. (Aaron Bentley)
1194
* ``bzrlib.bzrdir.BzrDir.sprout`` now accepts ``stacked`` to control
1195
creating stacked branches. (Robert Collins)
1197
* Knit record serialisation is now stricter on what it will accept, to
1198
guard against potential internal bugs, or broken input. (Robert Collins)
1201
bzr 1.6beta1 2008-06-02
1202
-----------------------
1205
Commands that work on the revision history such as push, pull, missing,
1206
uncommit and log are now substantially faster. This release adds a
1207
translation of some of the user documentation into Spanish. (Contributions of
1208
other translations would be very welcome.) Bazaar 1.6beta1 adds a new network
1209
protocol which is used by default and which allows for more efficient transfers
1210
and future extensions.
1213
NOTES WHEN UPGRADING:
1215
* There is a new version of the network protocol used for bzr://, bzr+ssh://
1216
and bzr+http:// connections. This will allow more efficient requests and
1217
responses, and more graceful fallback when a server is too old to
1218
recognise a request from a more recent client. Bazaar 1.6 will
1219
interoperate with 0.16 and later versions, but servers should be upgraded
1220
when possible. Bazaar 1.6 no longer interoperates with 0.15 and earlier via
1221
these protocols. Use alternatives like SFTP or upgrade those servers.
1222
(Andrew Bennetts, #83935)
1226
* Deprecation warnings will not be suppressed when running ``bzr selftest``
1227
so that developers can see if their code is using deprecated functions.
1228
(John Arbash Meinel)
1232
* Adding ``-Derror`` will now display a traceback when a plugin fails to
1233
load. (James Westby)
1237
* ``bzr branch/push/pull -r XXX`` now have a helper function for finding
1238
the revno of the new revision (``Graph.find_distance_to_null``). This
1239
should make something like ``bzr branch -r -100`` in a shared, no-trees
1240
repository much snappier. (John Arbash Meinel)
1242
* ``bzr log --short -r X..Y`` no longer needs to access the full revision
1243
history. This makes it noticeably faster when logging the last few
1244
revisions. (John Arbash Meinel)
1246
* ``bzr ls`` now accepts ``-V`` as an alias for ``--versioned``.
1247
(Jerad Cramp, #165086)
1249
* ``bzr missing`` uses the new ``Graph.find_unique_ancestors`` and
1250
``Graph.find_differences`` to determine missing revisions without having
1251
to search the whole ancestry. (John Arbash Meinel, #174625)
1253
* ``bzr uncommit`` now uses partial history access, rather than always
1254
extracting the full revision history for a branch. This makes it
1255
resolve the appropriate revisions much faster (in testing it drops
1256
uncommit from 1.5s => 0.4s). It also means ``bzr log --short`` is one
1257
step closer to not using full revision history.
1258
(John Arbash Meinel, #172649)
1262
* ``bzr merge --lca`` should handle when two revisions have no common
1263
ancestor other than NULL_REVISION. (John Arbash Meinel, #235715)
1265
* ``bzr status`` was breaking if you merged the same revision twice.
1266
(John Arbash Meinel, #235407)
1268
* ``bzr push`` with both ``--overwrite`` and ``-r NNN`` options no longer
1269
fails. (Andrew Bennetts, #234229)
1271
* Correctly track the base URL of a smart medium when using bzr+http://
1272
URLs, which was causing spurious "No repository present" errors with
1273
branches in shared repositories accessed over bzr+http.
1274
(Andrew Bennetts, #230550)
1276
* Define ``_remote_is_at_least_1_2`` on ``SmartClientMedium`` so that all
1277
implementations have the attribute. Fixes 'PyCurlTransport' object has no
1278
attribute '_remote_is_at_least_1_2' attribute errors.
1279
(Andrew Bennetts, #220806)
1281
* Failure to delete an obsolete pack file should just give a warning
1282
message, not a fatal error. It may for example fail if the file is still
1283
in use by another process.
1286
* Fix MemoryError during large fetches over HTTP by limiting the amount of
1287
data we try to read per ``recv`` call. The problem was observed with
1288
Windows and a proxy, but might affect other environments as well.
1289
(Eric Holmberg, #215426)
1291
* Handle old merge directives correctly in Merger.from_mergeable. Stricter
1292
get_parent_map requirements exposed a latent bug here. (Aaron Bentley)
1294
* Issue a warning and ignore passwords declared in authentication.conf when
1295
used for an ssh scheme (sftp or bzr+ssh).
1296
(Vincent Ladeuil, #203186)
1298
* Make both http implementations raise appropriate exceptions on 403
1299
Forbidden when POSTing smart requests.
1300
(Vincent Ladeuil, #230223)
1302
* Properly *title* header names in http requests instead of capitalizing
1304
(Vincent Ladeuil, #229076)
1306
* The "Unable to obtain lock" error message now also suggests using
1307
``bzr break-lock`` to fix it. (Martin Albisetti, #139202)
1309
* Treat an encoding of '' as ascii; this can happen when bzr is run
1310
under vim on Mac OS X.
1311
(Neil Martinsen-Burrell)
1313
* ``VersionedFile.make_mpdiffs()`` was raising an exception that wasn't in
1314
scope. (Daniel Fischer #235687)
1318
* Added directory structure and started translation of docs in spanish.
1319
(Martin Albisetti, Lucio Albenga)
1321
* Incorporate feedback from Jelmer Vernooij and Neil Martinsen-Burrell
1322
on the plugin and integration chapters of the User Guide.
1325
* More Bazaar developer documentation about packaging and release process,
1326
and about use of Python reprs.
1327
(Martin Pool, Martin Albisetti)
1329
* Updated Tortise strategy document. (Mark Hammond)
1333
* ``bzrlib.tests.adapt_tests`` was broken and unused - it has been fixed.
1336
* Fix the test HTTPServer to be isolated from chdir calls made while it is
1337
running, allowing it to be used in blackbox tests. (Robert Collins)
1339
* New helper function for splitting test suites
1340
``split_suite_by_condition``. (Robert Collins)
1344
* ``Branch.missing_revisions`` has been deprecated. Similar functionality
1345
can be obtained using ``bzrlib.missing.find_unmerged``. The api was
1346
fairly broken, and the function was unused, so we are getting rid of it.
1347
(John Arbash Meinel)
1351
* ``Branch.abspath`` is deprecated; use the Tree or Transport
1352
instead. (Martin Pool)
1354
* ``Branch.update_revisions`` now takes an optional ``Graph``
1355
object. This can be used by ``update_revisions`` when it is
1356
checking ancestry, and allows callers to prefer request to go to a
1357
local branch. (John Arbash Meinel)
1359
* Branch, Repository, Tree and BzrDir should expose a Transport as an
1360
attribute if they have one, rather than having it indirectly accessible
1361
as ``.control_files._transport``. This doesn't add a requirement
1362
to support a Transport in cases where it was not needed before;
1363
it just simplifies the way it is reached. (Martin Pool)
1365
* ``bzr missing --mine-only`` will return status code 0 if you have no
1366
new revisions, but the remote does. Similarly for ``--theirs-only``.
1367
The new code only checks one side, so it doesn't know if the other
1368
side has changes. This seems more accurate with the request anyway.
1369
It also changes the output to print '[This|Other] branch is up to
1370
date.' rather than displaying nothing. (John Arbash Meinel)
1372
* ``LockableFiles.put_utf8``, ``put_bytes`` and ``controlfilename``
1373
are now deprecated in favor of using Transport operations.
1376
* Many methods on ``VersionedFile``, ``Repository`` and in
1377
``bzrlib.revision`` deprecated before bzrlib 1.5 have been removed.
1380
* ``RevisionSpec.wants_revision_history`` can be set to False for a given
1381
``RevisionSpec``. This will disable the existing behavior of passing in
1382
the full revision history to ``self._match_on``. Useful for specs that
1383
don't actually need access to the full history. (John Arbash Meinel)
1385
* The constructors of ``SmartClientMedium`` and its subclasses now require a
1386
``base`` parameter. ``SmartClientMedium`` implementations now also need
1387
to provide a ``remote_path_from_transport`` method. (Andrew Bennetts)
1389
* The default permissions for creating new files and directories
1390
should now be obtained from ``BzrDir._get_file_mode()`` and
1391
``_get_dir_mode()``, rather than from LockableFiles. The ``_set_file_mode``
1392
and ``_set_dir_mode`` variables on LockableFiles which were advertised
1393
as a way for plugins to control this are no longer consulted.
1396
* ``VersionedFile.join`` is deprecated. This method required local
1397
instances of both versioned file objects and was thus hostile to being
1398
used for streaming from a smart server. The new get_record_stream and
1399
insert_record_stream are meant to efficiently replace this method.
1402
* ``WorkingTree.set_parent_(ids/trees)`` will now filter out revisions
1403
which are in the ancestry of other revisions. So if you merge the same
1404
tree twice, or merge an ancestor of an existing merge, it will only
1405
record the newest. (If you merge a descendent, it will replace its
1406
ancestor). (John Arbash Meinel, #235407)
1408
* ``WorkingTreeFormat2.stub_initialize_remote`` is now private.
1415
This release of Bazaar includes several updates to the documentation, and fixes
1416
to prepare for making rich root support the default format. Many bugs have been
1417
squashed, including fixes to log, bzr+ssh inter-operation with older servers.
1421
* Suppress deprecation warnings when bzrlib is a 'final' release. This way
1422
users of packaged software won't be bothered with DeprecationWarnings,
1423
but developers and testers will still see them. (John Arbash Meinel)
1427
* Incorporate feedback from Jelmer Vernooij and Neil Martinsen-Burrell
1428
on the plugin and integration chapters of the User Guide.
1432
bzr 1.5rc1 2008-05-09
1433
---------------------
1435
NOTES WHEN UPGRADING:
1439
* Broader support of GNU Emacs mail clients. Set
1440
``mail_client=emacsclient`` in your bazaar.conf and ``send`` will pop the
1441
bundle in a mail buffer according to the value of ``mail-user-agent``
1442
variable. (Xavier Maillard)
1448
* Diff now handles revision specs like "branch:" and "submit:" more
1449
efficiently. (Aaron Bentley, #202928)
1451
* More friendly error given when attempt to start the smart server
1452
on an address already in use. (Andrea Corbellini, #200575)
1454
* Pull completes much faster when there is nothing to pull.
1459
* Authentication.conf can define sections without password.
1460
(Vincent Ladeuil, #199440)
1462
* Avoid muttering every time a child update does not cause a progress bar
1463
update. (John Arbash Meinel, #213771)
1465
* ``Branch.reconcile()`` is now implemented. This allows ``bzr reconcile``
1466
to fix when a Branch has a non-canonical mainline history. ``bzr check``
1467
also detects this condition. (John Arbash Meinel, #177855)
1469
* ``bzr log -r ..X bzr://`` was failing, because it was getting a request
1470
for ``revision_id=None`` which was not a string.
1471
(John Arbash Meinel, #211661)
1473
* ``bzr commit`` now works with Microsoft's FTP service.
1476
* Catch definitions outside sections in authentication.conf.
1477
(Vincent Ladeuil, #217650)
1479
* Conversion from non-rich-root to rich-root(-pack) updates inventory
1480
sha1s, even when bundles are used. (Aaron Bentley, #181391)
1482
* Conversion from non-rich-root to rich-root(-pack) works correctly even
1483
though search keys are not topologically sorted. (Aaron Bentley)
1485
* Conversion from non-rich-root to rich-root(-pack) works even when a
1486
parent revision has a different root id. (Aaron Bentley, #177874)
1488
* Disable strace testing until strace is fixed (see bug #103133) and emit a
1489
warning when selftest ends to remind us of leaking tests.
1490
(Vincent Ladeuil, #226769)
1492
* Fetching all revisions from a repository does not cause pack collisions.
1493
(Robert Collins, Aaron Bentley, #212908)
1495
* Fix error about "attempt to add line-delta in non-delta knit".
1496
(Andrew Bennetts, #217701)
1498
* Pushing a branch in "dirstate" format (Branch5) over bzr+ssh would break
1499
if the remote server was < version 1.2. This was due to a bug in the
1500
RemoteRepository.get_parent_map() fallback code.
1501
(John Arbash Meinel, #214894)
1503
* Remove leftover code in ``bzr_branch`` that inappropriately creates
1504
a ``branch-name`` file in the branch control directory.
1507
* Set SO_REUSEADDR on server sockets of ``bzr serve`` to avoid problems
1508
rebinding the socket when starting the server a second time.
1509
(John Arbash Meinel, Martin Pool, #164288)
1511
* Severe performance degradation in fetching from knit repositories to
1512
knits and packs due to parsing the entire revisions.kndx on every graph
1513
walk iteration fixed by using the Repository.get_graph API. There was
1514
another regression in knit => knit fetching which re-read the index for
1515
every revision each side had in common.
1516
(Robert Collins, John Arbash Meinel)
1518
* When logging the changes to a particular file, there was a bug if there
1519
were ghosts in the revision ancestry. (John Arbash Meinel, #209948)
1521
* xs4all's ftp server returns a temporary error when trying to list an
1522
empty directory, rather than returning an empty list. Adding a
1523
workaround so that we don't get spurious failures.
1524
(John Arbash Meinel, #215522)
1528
* Expanded the User Guide to include new chapters on popular plugins and
1529
integrating Bazaar into your environment. The *Best practices* chapter
1530
was renamed to *Miscellaneous topics* as suggested by community
1531
feedback as well. (Ian Clatworthy)
1533
* Document outlining strategies for TortoiseBzr. (Mark Hammond)
1535
* Improved the documentation on hooks. (Ian Clatworthy)
1537
* Update authentication docs regarding ssh agents.
1538
(Vincent Ladeuil, #183705)
1542
* Add ``thread_name_suffix`` parameter to SmartTCPServer_for_testing, to
1543
make it easy to identify which test spawned a thread with an unhandled
1544
exception. (Andrew Bennetts)
1546
* New ``--debugflag``/``-E`` option to ``bzr selftest`` for setting
1547
options for debugging tests, these are complementary to the the -D
1548
options. The ``-Dselftest_debug`` global option has been replaced by the
1549
``-E=allow_debug`` option for selftest. (Andrew Bennetts)
1551
* Parameterised test ids are preserved correctly to aid diagnosis of test
1552
failures. (Robert Collins, Andrew Bennetts)
1554
* selftest now accepts --starting-with <id> to load only the tests whose id
1555
starts with the one specified. This greatly speeds up running the test
1556
suite on a limited set of tests and can be used to run the tests for a
1557
single module, a single class or even a single test. (Vincent Ladeuil)
1559
* The test suite modules have been modified to define load_tests() instead
1560
of test_suite(). That speeds up selective loading (via --load-list)
1561
significantly and provides many examples on how to migrate (grep for
1562
load_tests). (Vincent Ladeuil)
1566
* ``Hooks.install_hook`` is now deprecated in favour of
1567
``Hooks.install_named_hook`` which adds a required ``name`` parameter, to
1568
avoid having to call ``Hooks.name_hook``. (Daniel Watkins)
1570
* Implement xml8 serializer. (Aaron Bentley)
1572
* New form ``@deprecated_method(deprecated_in(1, 5, 0))`` for making
1573
deprecation wrappers. (Martin Pool)
1575
* ``Repository.revision_parents`` is now deprecated in favour of
1576
``Repository.get_parent_map([revid])[revid]``. (Jelmer Vernooij)
1578
* The Python ``assert`` statement is no longer used in Bazaar source, and
1579
a test checks this. (Martin Pool)
1583
* ``bzrlib.status.show_pending_merges`` requires the repository to be
1584
locked by the caller. Callers should have been doing it anyway, but it
1585
will now raise an exception if they do not. (John Arbash Meinel)
1587
* Repository.get_data_stream, Repository.get_data_stream_for_search(),
1588
Repository.get_deltas_for_revsions(), Repository.revision_trees(),
1589
Repository.item_keys_introduced_by() no longer take read locks.
1592
* ``LockableFiles.get_utf8`` and ``.get`` are deprecated, as a start
1593
towards removing LockableFiles and ``.control_files`` entirely.
1596
* Methods deprecated prior to 1.1 have been removed.
1603
This release of Bazaar includes handy improvements to the speed of log and
1604
status, new options for several commands, improved documentation, and better
1605
hooks, including initial code for server-side hooks. A number of bugs have
1606
been fixed, particularly in interoperability between different formats or
1607
different releases of Bazaar over there network. There's been substantial
1608
internal work in both the repository and network code to enable new features
1609
and faster performance.
1613
* Pushing a branch in "dirstate" format (Branch5) over bzr+ssh would break
1614
if the remote server was < version 1.2. This was due to a bug in the
1615
RemoteRepository.get_parent_map() fallback code.
1616
(John Arbash Meinel, Andrew Bennetts, #214894)
1619
bzr 1.4rc2 2008-04-21
1620
---------------------
1624
* ``bzr log -r ..X bzr://`` was failing, because it was getting a request
1625
for ``revision_id=None`` which was not a string.
1626
(John Arbash Meinel, #211661)
1628
* Fixed a bug in handling ghost revisions when logging changes in a
1629
particular file. (John Arbash Meinel, #209948)
1631
* Fix error about "attempt to add line-delta in non-delta knit".
1632
(Andrew Bennetts, #205156)
1634
* Fixed performance degradation in fetching from knit repositories to
1635
knits and packs due to parsing the entire revisions.kndx on every graph
1636
walk iteration fixed by using the Repository.get_graph API. There was
1637
another regression in knit => knit fetching which re-read the index for
1638
every revision each side had in common.
1639
(Robert Collins, John Arbash Meinel)
1642
bzr 1.4rc1 2008-04-11
1643
---------------------
1647
* bzr main script cannot be imported (Benjamin Peterson)
1649
* On Linux bzr additionally looks for plugins in arch-independent site
1650
directory. (Toshio Kuratomi)
1652
* The ``set_rh`` branch hook is now deprecated. Please migrate
1653
any plugins using this hook to use an alternative, e.g.
1654
``post_change_branch_tip``. (Ian Clatworthy)
1656
* When a plugin cannot be loaded as the file path is not a valid
1657
python module name bzr will now strip a ``bzr_`` prefix from the
1658
front of the suggested name, as many plugins (e.g. bzr-svn)
1659
want to be installed without this prefix. It is a common mistake
1660
to have a folder named "bzr-svn" for that plugin, especially
1661
as this is what bzr branch lp:bzr-svn will give you. (James Westby,
1664
* UniqueIntegerBugTracker now appends bug-ids instead of joining
1665
them to the base URL. Plugins that register bug trackers may
1666
need a trailing / added to the base URL if one is not already there.
1667
(James Wesby, Andrew Cowie)
1671
* Added start_commit hook for mutable trees. (Jelmer Vernooij, #186422)
1673
* ``status`` now accepts ``--no-pending`` to show the status without
1674
listing pending merges, which speeds up the command a lot on large
1675
histories. (James Westby, #202830)
1677
* New ``post_change_branch_tip`` hook that is called after the
1678
branch tip is moved but while the branch is still write-locked.
1679
See the User Reference for signature details.
1680
(Ian Clatworthy, James Henstridge)
1682
* Reconfigure can convert a branch to be standalone or to use a shared
1683
repository. (Aaron Bentley)
1687
* The smart protocol now has support for setting branches' revision info
1688
directly. This should make operations like push slightly faster, and is a
1689
step towards server-side hooks. The new request method name is
1690
``Branch.set_last_revision_info``. (Andrew Bennetts)
1692
* ``bzr commit --fixes`` now recognises "gnome" as a tag by default.
1693
(James Westby, Andrew Cowie)
1695
* ``bzr switch`` will attempt to find branches to switch to relative to the
1696
current branch. E.g. ``bzr switch branchname`` will look for
1697
``current_branch/../branchname``. (Robert Collins, Jelmer Vernooij,
1700
* Diff is now more specific about execute-bit changes it describes
1703
* Fetching data over HTTP is a bit faster when urllib is used. This is done
1704
by forcing it to recv 64k at a time when reading lines in HTTP headers,
1705
rather than just 1 byte at a time. (Andrew Bennetts)
1707
* Log --short and --line are much faster when -r is not specified.
1710
* Merge is faster. We no longer check a file's existence unnecessarily
1711
when merging the execute bit. (Aaron Bentley)
1713
* ``bzr status`` on an explicit list of files no longer shows pending
1714
merges, making it much faster on large trees. (John Arbash Meinel)
1716
* The launchpad directory service now warns the user if they have not set
1717
their launchpad login and are trying to resolve a URL using it, just
1718
in case they want to do a write operation with it. (James Westby)
1720
* The smart protocol client is slightly faster, because it now only queries
1721
the server for the protocol version once per connection. Also, the HTTP
1722
transport will now automatically probe for and use a smart server if
1723
one is present. You can use the new ``nosmart+`` transport decorator
1724
to get the old behaviour. (Andrew Bennetts)
1726
* The ``version`` command takes a ``--short`` option to print just the
1727
version number, for easier use in scripts. (Martin Pool)
1729
* Various operations with revision specs and commands that calculate
1730
revnos and revision ids are faster. (John A. Meinel, Aaron Bentley)
1734
* Add ``root_client_path`` parameter to SmartWSGIApp and
1735
SmartServerRequest. This makes it possible to publish filesystem
1736
locations that don't exactly match URL paths. SmartServerRequest
1737
subclasses should use the new ``translate_client_path`` and
1738
``transport_from_client_path`` methods when dealing with paths received
1739
from a client to take this into account. (Andrew Bennetts, #124089)
1741
* ``bzr mv a b`` can be now used also to rename previously renamed
1742
directories, not only files. (Lukáš Lalinský, #107967)
1744
* ``bzr uncommit --local`` can now remove revisions from the local
1745
branch to be symmetric with ``bzr commit --local``.
1746
(John Arbash Meinel, #93412)
1748
* Don't ask for a password if there is no real terminal.
1749
(Alexander Belchenko, #69851)
1751
* Fix a bug causing a ValueError crash in ``parse_line_delta_iter`` when
1752
fetching revisions from a knit to pack repository or vice versa using
1753
bzr:// (including over http or ssh).
1754
(#208418, Andrew Bennetts, Martin Pool, Robert Collins)
1756
* Fixed ``_get_line`` in ``bzrlib.smart.medium``, which was buggy. Also
1757
fixed ``_get_bytes`` in the same module to use the push back buffer.
1758
These bugs had no known impact in normal use, but were problematic for
1759
developers working on the code, and were likely to cause real bugs sooner
1760
or later. (Andrew Bennetts)
1762
* Implement handling of basename parameter for DefaultMail. (James Westby)
1764
* Incompatibility with Paramiko versions newer than 1.7.2 was fixed.
1765
(Andrew Bennetts, #213425)
1767
* Launchpad locations (lp: URLs) can be pulled. (Aaron Bentley, #181945)
1769
* Merges that add files to deleted root directories complete. They
1770
do create conflicts. (Aaron Bentley, #210092)
1772
* vsftp's return ``550 RNFR command failed.`` supported.
1773
(Marcus Trautwig, #129786)
1777
* Improved documentation on send/merge relationship. (Peter Schuller)
1779
* Minor fixes to the User Guide. (Matthew Fuller)
1781
* Reduced the evangelism in the User Guide. (Ian Clatworthy)
1783
* Added Integrating with Bazaar document for developers (Martin Albisetti)
1787
* Attempting to pull data from a ghost aware repository (e.g. knits) into a
1788
non-ghost aware repository such as weaves will now fail if there are
1789
ghosts. (Robert Collins)
1791
* ``KnitVersionedFile`` no longer accepts an ``access_mode`` parameter, and
1792
now requires the ``index`` and ``access_method`` parameters to be
1793
supplied. A compatible shim has been kept in the new function
1794
``knit.make_file_knit``. (Robert Collins)
1796
* Log formatters must now provide log_revision instead of show and
1797
show_merge_revno methods. The latter had been deprecated since the 0.17
1798
release. (James Westby)
1800
* ``LoopbackSFTP`` is now called ``SocketAsChannelAdapter``.
1803
* ``osutils.backup_file`` is removed. (Alexander Belchenko)
1805
* ``Repository.get_revision_graph`` is deprecated, with no replacement
1806
method. The method was size(history) and not desirable. (Robert Collins)
1808
* ``revision.revision_graph`` is deprecated, with no replacement function.
1809
The function was size(history) and not desirable. (Robert Collins)
1811
* ``Transport.get_shared_medium`` is deprecated. Use
1812
``Transport.get_smart_medium`` instead. (Andrew Bennetts)
1814
* ``VersionedFile`` factories now accept a get_scope parameter rather
1815
than using a call to ``transaction_finished``, allowing the removal of
1816
the fixed list of versioned files per repository. (Robert Collins)
1818
* ``VersionedFile.annotate_iter`` is deprecated. While in principle this
1819
allowed lower memory use, all users of annotations wanted full file
1820
annotations, and there is no storage format suitable for incremental
1821
line-by-line annotation. (Robert Collins)
1823
* ``VersionedFile.clone_text`` is deprecated. This performance optimisation
1824
is no longer used - reading the content of a file that is undergoing a
1825
file level merge to identical state on two branches is rare enough, and
1826
not expensive enough to special case. (Robert Collins)
1828
* ``VersionedFile.clear_cache`` and ``enable_cache`` are deprecated.
1829
These methods added significant complexity to the ``VersionedFile``
1830
implementation, but were only used for optimising fetches from knits -
1831
which can be done from outside the knit layer, or via a caching
1832
decorator. As knits are not the default format, the complexity is no
1833
longer worth paying. (Robert Collins)
1835
* ``VersionedFile.create_empty`` is removed. This method presupposed a
1836
sensible mapping to a transport for individual files, but pack backed
1837
versioned files have no such mapping. (Robert Collins)
1839
* ``VersionedFile.get_graph`` is deprecated, with no replacement method.
1840
The method was size(history) and not desirable. (Robert Collins)
1842
* ``VersionedFile.get_graph_with_ghosts`` is deprecated, with no
1843
replacement method. The method was size(history) and not desirable.
1846
* ``VersionedFile.get_parents`` is deprecated, please use
1847
``VersionedFile.get_parent_map``. (Robert Collins)
1849
* ``VersionedFile.get_sha1`` is deprecated, please use
1850
``VersionedFile.get_sha1s``. (Robert Collins)
1852
* ``VersionedFile.has_ghost`` is now deprecated, as it is both expensive
1853
and unused outside of a single test. (Robert Collins)
1855
* ``VersionedFile.iter_parents`` is now deprecated in favour of
1856
``get_parent_map`` which can be used to instantiate a Graph on a
1857
VersionedFile. (Robert Collins)
1859
* ``VersionedFileStore`` no longer uses the transaction parameter given
1860
to most methods; amongst other things this means that the
1861
get_weave_or_empty method no longer guarantees errors on a missing weave
1862
in a readonly transaction, and no longer caches versioned file instances
1863
which reduces memory pressure (but requires more careful management by
1864
callers to preserve performance). (Robert Collins)
1868
* New -Dselftest_debug flag disables clearing of the debug flags during
1869
tests. This is useful if you want to use e.g. -Dhpss to help debug a
1870
failing test. Be aware that using this feature is likely to cause
1871
spurious test failures if used with the full suite. (Andrew Bennetts)
1873
* selftest --load-list now uses a new more agressive test loader that will
1874
avoid loading unneeded modules and building their tests. Plugins can use
1875
this new loader by defining a load_tests function instead of a test_suite
1876
function. (a forthcoming patch will provide many examples on how to
1880
* selftest --load-list now does some sanity checks regarding duplicate test
1881
IDs and tests present in the list but not found in the actual test suite.
1884
* Slightly more concise format for the selftest progress bar, so there's
1885
more space to show the test name. (Martin Pool) ::
1887
[2500/10884, 1fail, 3miss in 1m29s] test_revisionnamespaces.TestRev
1889
* The test suite takes much less memory to run, and is a bit faster. This
1890
is done by clearing most attributes of TestCases after running them, if
1891
they succeeded. (Andrew Bennetts)
1895
* Added ``_build_client_protocol`` to ``_SmartClient``. (Andrew Bennetts)
1897
* Added basic infrastructure for automatic plugin suggestion.
1900
* If a ``LockableFiles`` object is not explicitly unlocked (for example
1901
because of a missing ``try/finally`` block, it will give a warning but
1902
not automatically unlock itself. (Previously they did.) This
1903
sometimes caused knock-on errors if for example the network connection
1904
had already failed, and should not be relied upon by code.
1905
(Martin Pool, #109520)
1907
* ``make dist`` target to build a release tarball, and also
1908
``check-dist-tarball`` and ``dist-upload-escudero``. (Martin Pool)
1910
* The ``read_response_tuple`` method of ``SmartClientRequestProtocol*``
1911
classes will now raise ``UnknownSmartMethod`` when appropriate, so that
1912
callers don't need to try distinguish unknown request errors from other
1913
errors. (Andrew Bennetts)
1915
* ``set_make_working_trees`` is now implemented provided on all repository
1916
implementations (Aaron Bentley)
1918
* ``VersionedFile`` now has a new method ``get_parent_map`` which, like
1919
``Graph.get_parent_map`` returns a dict of key:parents. (Robert Collins)
1922
bzr 1.3.1 2008-04-09
1923
--------------------
1925
No changes from 1.3.1rc1.
1928
bzr 1.3rc1 2008-04-04
1929
---------------------
1933
* Fix a bug causing a ValueError crash in ``parse_line_delta_iter`` when
1934
fetching revisions from a knit to pack repository or vice versa using
1935
bzr:// (including over http or ssh).
1936
(#208418, Andrew Bennetts, Martin Pool, Robert Collins)
1942
Bazaar has become part of the GNU project <http://www.gnu.org>
1944
Many operations that act on history, including ``log`` and ``annotate`` are now
1945
substantially faster. Several bugs have been fixed and several new options and
1946
features have been added.
1950
* Avoid spurious failure of ``TestVersion.test_version`` matching
1952
(#202778, Martin Pool)
1955
bzr 1.3rc1 2008-03-16
1956
---------------------
1958
NOTES WHEN UPGRADING:
1960
* The backup directory created by ``upgrade`` is now called
1961
``backup.bzr``, not ``.bzr.backup``. (Martin Albisetti)
1965
* A new repository format 'development' has been added. This format will
1966
represent the latest 'in-progress' format that the bzr developers are
1967
interested in getting early-adopter testing and feedback on.
1968
``doc/developers/development-repo.txt`` has detailed information.
1971
* BZR_LOG environment variable controls location of .bzr.log trace file.
1972
User can suppress writing messages to .bzr.log by using '/dev/null'
1973
filename (on Linux) or 'NUL' (on Windows). If BZR_LOG variable
1974
is not defined but BZR_HOME is defined then default location
1975
for .bzr.log trace file is ``$BZR_HOME/.bzr.log``.
1976
(Alexander Belchenko)
1978
* ``launchpad`` builtin plugin now shipped as separate part in standalone
1979
bzr.exe, installed to ``C:\Program Files\Bazaar\plugins`` directory,
1980
and standalone installer allows user to skip installation of this plugin.
1981
(Alexander Belchenko)
1983
* Restore auto-detection of plink.exe on Windows. (Dmitry Vasiliev)
1985
* Version number is now shown as "1.2" or "1.2pr2", without zeroed or
1986
missing final fields. (Martin Pool)
1990
* ``branch`` and ``checkout`` can hard-link working tree files, which is
1991
faster and saves space. (Aaron Bentley)
1993
* ``bzr send`` will now also look at the ``child_submit_to`` setting in
1994
the submit branch to determine the email address to send to.
1999
* BzrBranch._lefthand_history is faster on pack repos. (Aaron Bentley)
2001
* Branch6.generate_revision_history is faster. (Aaron Bentley)
2003
* Directory services can now be registered, allowing special URLs to be
2004
dereferenced into real URLs. This is a generalization and cleanup of
2005
the lp: transport lookup. (Aaron Bentley)
2007
* Merge directives that are automatically attached to emails have nicer
2008
filenames, based on branch-nick + revno. (Aaron Bentley)
2010
* ``push`` has a ``--revision`` option, to specify what revision to push up
2011
to. (Daniel Watkins)
2013
* Significantly reducing execution time and network traffic for trivial
2014
case of running ``bzr missing`` command for two identical branches.
2015
(Alexander Belchenko)
2017
* Speed up operations that look at the revision graph (such as 'bzr log').
2018
``KnitPackRepositor.get_revision_graph`` uses ``Graph.iter_ancestry`` to
2019
extract the revision history. This allows filtering ghosts while
2020
stepping instead of needing to peek ahead. (John Arbash Meinel)
2022
* The ``hooks`` command lists installed hooks, to assist in debugging.
2025
* Updates to how ``annotate`` work. Should see a measurable improvement in
2026
performance and memory consumption for file with a lot of merges.
2027
Also, correctly handle when a line is introduced by both parents (it
2028
should be attributed to the first merge which notices this, and not
2029
to all subsequent merges.) (John Arbash Meinel)
2033
* Autopacking no longer holds the full set of inventory lines in
2034
memory while copying. For large repositories, this can amount to
2035
hundreds of MB of ram consumption.
2036
(Ian Clatworthy, John Arbash Meinel)
2038
* Cherrypicking when using ``--format=merge3`` now explictly excludes
2039
BASE lines. (John Arbash Meinel, #151731)
2041
* Disable plink's interactive prompt for password.
2042
(#107593, Dmitry Vasiliev)
2044
* Encode command line arguments from unicode to user_encoding before
2045
invoking external mail client in `bzr send` command.
2046
(#139318, Alexander Belchenko)
2048
* Fixed problem connecting to ``bzr+https://`` servers.
2049
(#198793, John Ferlito)
2051
* Improved error reporting in the Launchpad plugin. (Daniel Watkins,
2054
* Include quick-start-summary.svg file to python-based installer(s)
2055
for Windows. (#192924, Alexander Belchenko)
2057
* lca merge now respects specified files. (Aaron Bentley)
2059
* Make version-info --custom imply --all. (#195560, James Westby)
2061
* ``merge --preview`` now works for merges that add or modify
2062
symlinks (James Henstridge)
2064
* Redirecting the output from ``bzr merge`` (when the remembered
2065
location is used) now works. (John Arbash Meinel)
2067
* setup.py script explicitly checks for Python version.
2068
(Jari Aalto, Alexander Belchenko, #200569)
2070
* UnknownFormatErrors no longer refer to branches regardless of kind of
2071
unknown format. (Daniel Watkins, #173980)
2073
* Upgrade bundled ConfigObj to version 4.5.2, which properly quotes #
2074
signs, among other small improvements. (Matt Nordhoff, #86838)
2076
* Use correct indices when emitting LCA conflicts. This fixes IndexError
2077
errors. (Aaron Bentley, #196780)
2081
* Explained how to use ``version-info --custom`` in the User Guide.
2082
(Neil Martinsen-Burrell)
2086
* Support for loading plugins from zip files and
2087
``bzrlib.plugin.load_from_zip()`` function are deprecated.
2088
(Alexander Belchenko)
2092
* Added missing blackbox tests for ``modified`` (Adrian Wilkins)
2094
* The branch interface tests were invalid for branches using rich-root
2095
repositories because the empty string is not a valid file-id.
2100
* ``Graph.iter_ancestry`` returns the ancestry of revision ids. Similar to
2101
``Repository.get_revision_graph()`` except it includes ghosts and you can
2102
stop part-way through. (John Arbash Meinel)
2104
* New module ``tools/package_mf.py`` provide custom module finder for
2105
python packages (improves standard python library's modulefinder.py)
2106
used by ``setup.py`` script while building standalone bzr.exe.
2107
(Alexander Belchenko)
2109
* New remote method ``RemoteBzrDir.find_repositoryV2`` adding support for
2110
detecting external lookup support on remote repositories. This method is
2111
now attempted first when lookup up repositories, leading to an extra
2112
round trip on older bzr smart servers. (Robert Collins)
2114
* Repository formats have a new supported-feature attribute
2115
``supports_external_lookups`` used to indicate repositories which support
2116
falling back to other repositories when they have partial data.
2119
* ``Repository.get_revision_graph_with_ghosts`` and
2120
``bzrlib.revision.(common_ancestor,MultipleRevisionSources,common_graph)``
2121
have been deprecated. (John Arbash Meinel)
2123
* ``Tree.iter_changes`` is now a public API, replacing the work-in-progress
2124
``Tree._iter_changes``. The api is now considered stable and ready for
2125
external users. (Aaron Bentley)
2127
* The bzrdir format registry now accepts an ``alias`` keyword to
2128
register_metadir, used to indicate that a format name is an alias for
2129
some other format and thus should not be reported when describing the
2130
format. (Robert Collins)
2138
* Fix failing test in Launchpad plugin. (Martin Pool)
2141
bzr 1.2rc1 2008-02-13
2142
---------------------
2144
NOTES WHEN UPGRADING:
2146
* Fetching via the smart protocol may need to reconnect once during a fetch
2147
if the remote server is running Bazaar 1.1 or earlier, because the client
2148
attempts to use more efficient requests that confuse older servers. You
2149
may be required to re-enter a password or passphrase when this happens.
2150
This won't happen if the server is upgraded to Bazaar 1.2.
2155
* Fetching via bzr+ssh will no longer fill ghosts by default (this is
2156
consistent with pack-0.92 fetching over SFTP). (Robert Collins)
2158
* Formatting of ``bzr plugins`` output is changed to be more human-
2159
friendly. Full path of plugins locations will be shown only with
2160
``--verbose`` command-line option. (Alexander Belchenko)
2162
* ``merge`` now prefers to use the submit branch, but will fall back to
2163
parent branch. For many users, this has no effect. But some users who
2164
pull and merge on the same branch will notice a change. This change
2165
makes it easier to work on a branch on two different machines, pulling
2166
between the machines, while merging from the upstream.
2167
``merge --remember`` can now be used to set the submit_branch.
2172
* ``merge --preview`` produces a diff of the changes merge would make,
2173
but does not actually perform the merge. (Aaron Bentley)
2175
* New smart method ``Repository.get_parent_map`` for getting revision
2176
parent data. This returns additional parent information topologically
2177
adjacent to the requested data to reduce round trip latency impacts.
2180
* New smart method, ``Repository.stream_revisions_chunked``, for fetching
2181
revision data that streams revision data via a chunked encoding. This
2182
avoids buffering large amounts of revision data on the server and on the
2183
client, and sends less data to the server to request the revisions.
2184
(Andrew Bennetts, Robert Collins, #178353)
2186
* The launchpad plugin now handles lp urls of the form
2187
``lp://staging/``, ``lp://demo/``, ``lp://dev/`` to use the appropriate
2188
launchpad instance to do the resolution of the branch identities.
2189
This is primarily of use to Launchpad developers, but can also
2190
be used by other users who want to try out Launchpad as
2191
a branch location without messing up their public Launchpad
2192
account. Branches that are pushed to the staging environment
2193
have an expected lifetime of one day. (Tim Penhey)
2197
* Creating a new branch no longer tries to read the entire revision-history
2198
unnecessarily over smart server operations. (Robert Collins)
2200
* Fetching between different repository formats with compatible models now
2201
takes advantage of the smart method to stream revisions. (Andrew Bennetts)
2203
* The ``--coverage`` option is now global, rather specific to ``bzr
2204
selftest``. (Andrew Bennetts)
2206
* The ``register-branch`` command will now use the public url of the branch
2207
containing the current directory, if one has been set and no explicit
2208
branch is provided. (Robert Collins)
2210
* Tweak the ``reannotate`` code path to optimize the 2-parent case.
2211
Speeds up ``bzr annotate`` with a pack repository by approx 3:2.
2212
(John Arbash Meinel)
2216
* Calculate remote path relative to the shared medium in _SmartClient. This
2217
is related to the problem in bug #124089. (Andrew Bennetts)
2219
* Cleanly handle connection errors in smart protocol version two, the same
2220
way as they are handled by version one. (Andrew Bennetts)
2222
* Clearer error when ``version-info --custom`` is used without
2223
``--template`` (Lukáš Lalinský)
2225
* Don't raise UnavailableFeature during test setup when medusa is not
2226
available or tearDown is never called leading to nasty side effects.
2227
(#137823, Vincent Ladeuil)
2229
* If a plugin's test suite cannot be loaded, for example because of a syntax
2230
error in the tests, then ``selftest`` fails, rather than just printing
2231
a warning. (Martin Pool, #189771)
2233
* List possible values for BZR_SSH environment variable in env-variables
2234
help topic. (Alexander Belchenko, #181842)
2236
* New methods ``push_log_file`` and ``pop_log_file`` to intercept messages:
2237
popping the log redirection now precisely restores the previous state,
2238
which makes it easier to use bzr log output from other programs.
2239
TestCaseInTempDir no longer depends on a log redirection being established
2240
by the test framework, which lets bzr tests cleanly run from a normal
2242
(#124153, #124849, Martin Pool, Jonathan Lange)
2244
* ``pull --quiet`` is now more quiet, in particular a message is no longer
2245
printed when the remembered pull location is used. (James Westby,
2248
* ``reconfigure`` can safely be interrupted while fetching.
2249
(Aaron Bentley, #179316)
2251
* ``reconfigure`` preserves tags when converting to and from lightweight
2252
checkouts. (Aaron Bentley, #182040)
2254
* Stop polluting /tmp when running selftest.
2255
(Vincent Ladeuil, #123623)
2257
* Switch from NFKC => NFC for normalization checks. NFC allows a few
2258
more characters which should be considered valid.
2259
(John Arbash Meinel, #185458)
2261
* The launchpad plugin now uses the ``edge`` xmlrpc server to avoid
2262
interacting badly with a bug on the launchpad side. (Robert Collins)
2264
* Unknown hostnames when connecting to a ``bzr://`` URL no longer cause
2265
tracebacks. (Andrew Bennetts, #182849)
2269
* Classes implementing Merge types like Merge3Merger must now accept (and
2270
honour) a do_merge flag in their constructor. (Aaron Bentley)
2272
* ``Repository.add_inventory`` and ``add_revision`` now require the caller
2273
to previously take a write lock (and start a write group.)
2278
* selftest now accepts --load-list <file> to load a test id list. This
2279
speeds up running the test suite on a limited set of tests.
2284
* Add a new method ``get_result`` to graph search objects. The resulting
2285
``SearchResult`` can be used to recreate the search later, which will
2286
be useful in reducing network traffic. (Robert Collins)
2288
* Use convenience function to check whether two repository handles
2289
are referring to the same repository in ``Repository.get_graph``.
2290
(Jelmer Vernooij, #187162)
2292
* Fetching now passes the find_ghosts flag through to the
2293
``InterRepository.missing_revision_ids`` call consistently for all
2294
repository types. This will enable faster missing revision discovery with
2295
bzr+ssh. (Robert Collins)
2297
* Fix error handling in Repository.insert_data_stream. (Lukas Lalinsky)
2299
* ``InterRepository.missing_revision_ids`` is now deprecated in favour of
2300
``InterRepository.search_missing_revision_ids`` which returns a
2301
``bzrlib.graph.SearchResult`` suitable for making requests from the smart
2302
server. (Robert Collins)
2304
* New error ``NoPublicBranch`` for commands that need a public branch to
2305
operate. (Robert Collins)
2307
* New method ``iter_inventories`` on Repository for access to many
2308
inventories. This is primarily used by the ``revision_trees`` method, as
2309
direct access to inventories is discouraged. (Robert Collins)
2311
* New method ``next_with_ghosts`` on the Graph breadth-first-search objects
2312
which will split out ghosts and present parents into two separate sets,
2313
useful for code which needs to be aware of ghosts (e.g. fetching data
2314
cares about ghosts during revision selection). (Robert Collins)
2316
* Record a timestamp against each mutter to the trace file, relative to the
2317
first import of bzrlib. (Andrew Bennetts)
2319
* ``Repository.get_data_stream`` is now deprecated in favour of
2320
``Repository.get_data_stream_for_search`` which allows less network
2321
traffic when requesting data streams over a smart server. (Robert Collins)
2323
* ``RemoteBzrDir._get_tree_branch`` no longer triggers ``_ensure_real``,
2324
removing one round trip on many network operations. (Robert Collins)
2326
* RemoteTransport's ``recommended_page_size`` method now returns 64k, like
2327
SFTPTransport and HttpTransportBase. (Andrew Bennetts)
2329
* Repository has a new method ``has_revisions`` which signals the presence
2330
of many revisions by returning a set of the revisions listed which are
2331
present. This can be done by index queries without reading data for parent
2332
revision names etc. (Robert Collins)
2338
(no changes from 1.1rc1)
2340
bzr 1.1rc1 2008-01-05
2341
---------------------
2345
* Dotted revision numbers have been revised. Instead of growing longer with
2346
nested branches the branch number just increases. (eg instead of 1.1.1.1.1
2347
we now report 1.2.1.) This helps scale long lived branches which have many
2348
feature branches merged between them. (John Arbash Meinel)
2350
* The syntax ``bzr diff branch1 branch2`` is no longer supported.
2351
Use ``bzr diff branch1 --new branch2`` instead. This change has
2352
been made to remove the ambiguity where ``branch2`` is in fact a
2353
specific file to diff within ``branch1``.
2357
* New option to use custom template-based formats in ``bzr version-info``.
2360
* diff '--using' allows an external diff tool to be used for files.
2363
* New "lca" merge-type for fast everyday merging that also supports
2364
criss-cross merges. (Aaron Bentley)
2368
* ``annotate`` now doesn't require a working tree. (Lukáš Lalinský,
2371
* ``branch`` and ``checkout`` can now use files from a working tree to
2372
to speed up the process. For checkout, this requires the new
2373
--files-from flag. (Aaron Bentley)
2375
* ``bzr diff`` now sorts files in alphabetical order. (Aaron Bentley)
2377
* ``bzr diff`` now works on branches without working trees. Tree-less
2378
branches can also be compared to each other and to working trees using
2379
the new diff options ``--old`` and ``--new``. Diffing between branches,
2380
with or without trees, now supports specific file filtering as well.
2381
(Ian Clatworthy, #6700)
2383
* ``bzr pack`` now orders revision texts in topological order, with newest
2384
at the start of the file, promoting linear reads for ``bzr log`` and the
2385
like. This partially fixes #154129. (Robert Collins)
2387
* Merge directives now fetch prerequisites from the target branch if
2388
needed. (Aaron Bentley)
2390
* pycurl now handles digest authentication.
2393
* ``reconfigure`` can now convert from repositories. (Aaron Bentley)
2395
* ``-l`` is now a short form for ``--limit`` in ``log``. (Matt Nordhoff)
2397
* ``merge`` now warns when merge directives cause cherrypicks.
2400
* ``split`` now supported, to enable splitting large trees into smaller
2401
pieces. (Aaron Bentley)
2405
* Avoid AttributeError when unlocking a pack repository when an error occurs.
2406
(Martin Pool, #180208)
2408
* Better handle short reads when processing multiple range requests.
2409
(Vincent Ladeuil, #179368)
2411
* build_tree acceleration uses the correct path when a file has been moved.
2414
* ``commit`` now succeeds when a checkout and its master branch share a
2415
repository. (Aaron Bentley, #177592)
2417
* Fixed error reporting of unsupported timezone format in
2418
``log --timezone``. (Lukáš Lalinský, #178722)
2420
* Fixed Unicode encoding error in ``ignored`` when the output is
2421
redirected to a pipe. (Lukáš Lalinský)
2423
* Fix traceback when sending large response bodies over the smart protocol
2424
on Windows. (Andrew Bennetts, #115781)
2426
* Fix ``urlutils.relative_url`` for the case of two ``file:///`` URLs
2427
pointed to different logical drives on Windows.
2428
(Alexander Belchenko, #90847)
2430
* HTTP test servers are now compatible with the http protocol version 1.1.
2431
(Vincent Ladeuil, #175524)
2433
* _KnitParentsProvider.get_parent_map now handles requests for ghosts
2434
correctly, instead of erroring or attributing incorrect parents to ghosts.
2437
* ``merge --weave --uncommitted`` now works. (Aaron Bentley)
2439
* pycurl authentication handling was broken and incomplete. Fix handling of
2440
user:pass embedded in the urls.
2441
(Vincent Ladeuil, #177643)
2443
* Files inside non-directories are now handled like other conflict types.
2444
(Aaron Bentley, #177390)
2446
* ``reconfigure`` is able to convert trees into lightweight checkouts.
2449
* Reduce lockdir timeout to 0 when running ``bzr serve``. (Andrew Bennetts,
2452
* Test that the old ``version_info_format`` functions still work, even
2453
though they are deprecated. (John Arbash Meinel, ShenMaq, #177872)
2455
* Transform failures no longer cause ImmortalLimbo errors (Aaron Bentley,
2458
* ``uncommit`` works even when the commit messages of revisions to be
2459
removed use characters not supported in the terminal encoding.
2462
* When dumb http servers return whole files instead of the requested ranges,
2463
read the remaining bytes by chunks to avoid overflowing network buffers.
2464
(Vincent Ladeuil, #175886)
2468
* Minor tweaks made to the bug tracker integration documentation.
2471
* Reference material has now be moved out of the User Guide and added
2472
to the User Reference. The User Reference has gained 4 sections as
2473
a result: Authenication Settings, Configuration Settings, Conflicts
2474
and Hooks. All help topics are now dumped into text format in the
2475
doc/en/user-reference directory for those who like browsing that
2476
information in their editor. (Ian Clatworthy)
2478
* *Using Bazaar with Launchpad* tutorial added. (Ian Clatworthy)
2482
* find_* methods available for BzrDirs, Branches and WorkingTrees.
2485
* Help topics can now be loaded from files.
2486
(Ian Clatworthy, Alexander Belchenko)
2488
* get_parent_map now always provides tuples as its output. (Aaron Bentley)
2490
* Parent Providers should now implement ``get_parent_map`` returning a
2491
dictionary instead of ``get_parents`` returning a list.
2492
``Graph.get_parents`` is now deprecated. (John Arbash Meinel,
2495
* Patience Diff now supports arbitrary python objects, as long as they
2496
support ``hash()``. (John Arbash Meinel)
2498
* Reduce selftest overhead to establish test names by memoization.
2505
* Modules can now customise their tests by defining a ``load_tests``
2506
attribute. ``pydoc bzrlib.tests.TestUtil.TestLoader.loadTestsFromModule``
2507
for the documentation on this attribute. (Robert Collins)
2509
* New helper function ``bzrlib.tests.condition_id_re`` which helps
2510
filter tests based on a regular expression search on the tests id.
2513
* New helper function ``bzrlib.tests.condition_isinstance`` which helps
2514
filter tests based on class. (Robert Collins)
2516
* New helper function ``bzrlib.tests.exclude_suite_by_condition`` which
2517
generalises the ``exclude_suite_by_re`` function. (Robert Collins)
2519
* New helper function ``bzrlib.tests.filter_suite_by_condition`` which
2520
generalises the ``filter_suite_by_re`` function. (Robert Collins)
2522
* New helper method ``bzrlib.tests.exclude_tests_by_re`` which gives a new
2523
TestSuite that does not contain tests from the input that matched a
2524
regular expression. (Robert Collins)
2526
* New helper method ``bzrlib.tests.randomize_suite`` which returns a
2527
randomized copy of the input suite. (Robert Collins)
2529
* New helper method ``bzrlib.tests.split_suite_by_re`` which splits a test
2530
suite into two according to a regular expression. (Robert Collins)
2532
* Parametrize all http tests for the transport implementations, the http
2533
protocol versions (1.0 and 1.1) and the authentication schemes.
2536
* The ``exclude_pattern`` and ``random_order`` parameters to the function
2537
``bzrlib.tests.filter_suite_by_re`` have been deprecated. (Robert Collins)
2539
* The method ``bzrlib.tests.sort_suite_by_re`` has been deprecated. It is
2540
replaced by the new helper methods added in this release. (Robert Collins)
2548
* More improvements and fixes to the User Guide. (Ian Clatworthy)
2550
* Add information on cherrypicking/rebasing to the User Guide.
2553
* Improve bug tracker integration documentation. (Ian Clatworthy)
2555
* Minor edits to ``Bazaar in five minutes`` from David Roberts and
2556
to the rebasing section of the User Guide from Aaron Bentley.
2560
bzr 1.0rc3 2007-12-11
2561
---------------------
2565
* If a traceback occurs, users are now asked to report the bug
2566
through Launchpad (https://bugs.launchpad.net/bzr/), rather than
2567
by mail to the mailing list.
2572
* Fix Makefile rules for doc generation. (Ian Clatworthy, #175207)
2574
* Give more feedback during long http downloads by making readv deliver data
2575
as it arrives for urllib, and issue more requests for pycurl. High latency
2576
networks are better handled by urllib, the pycurl implementation give more
2577
feedback but also incur more latency.
2578
(Vincent Ladeuil, #173010)
2580
* Implement _make_parents_provider on RemoteRepository, allowing generating
2581
bundles against branches on a smart server. (Andrew Bennetts, #147836)
2585
* Improved user guide. (Ian Clatworthy)
2587
* The single-page quick reference guide is now available as a PDF.
2592
* readv urllib http implementation is now a real iterator above the
2593
underlying socket and deliver data as soon as it arrives. 'get' still
2594
wraps its output in a StringIO.
2598
bzr 1.0rc2 2007-12-07
2599
---------------------
2603
* Added a --coverage option to selftest. (Andrew Bennetts)
2605
* Annotate merge (merge-type=weave) now supports cherrypicking.
2608
* ``bzr commit`` now doesn't print the revision number twice. (Matt
2611
* New configuration option ``bugtracker_<tracker_abbrevation>_url`` to
2612
define locations of bug trackers that are not directly supported by
2613
bzr or a plugin. The URL will be treated as a template and ``{id}``
2614
placeholders will be replaced by specific bug IDs. (Lukáš Lalinský)
2616
* Support logging single merge revisions with short and line log formatters.
2619
* User Guide enhanced with suggested readability improvements from
2620
Matt Revell and corrections from John Arbash Meinel. (Ian Clatworthy)
2622
* Quick Start Guide renamed to Quick Start Card, moved down in
2623
the catalog, provided in pdf and png format and updated to refer
2624
to ``send`` instead of ``bundle``. (Ian Clatworthy, #165080)
2626
* ``switch`` can now be used on heavyweight checkouts as well as
2627
lightweight ones. After switching a heavyweight checkout, the
2628
local branch is a mirror/cache of the new bound branch and
2629
uncommitted changes in the working tree are merged. As a safety
2630
check, if there are local commits in a checkout which have not
2631
been committed to the previously bound branch, then ``switch``
2632
fails unless the ``--force`` option is given. This option is
2633
now also required if the branch a lightweight checkout is pointing
2634
to has been moved. (Ian Clatworthy)
2638
* New -Dhttp debug option reports http connections, requests and responses.
2641
* New -Dmerge debug option, which emits merge plans for merge-type=weave.
2645
* Better error message when running ``bzr cat`` on a non-existant branch.
2646
(Lukáš Lalinský, #133782)
2648
* Catch OSError 17 (file exists) in final phase of tree transform and show
2650
(Alexander Belchenko, #111758)
2652
* Catch ShortReadvErrors while using pycurl. Also make readv more robust by
2653
allowing multiple GET requests to be issued if too many ranges are
2655
(Vincent Ladeuil, #172701)
2657
* Check for missing basis texts when fetching from packs to packs.
2658
(John Arbash Meinel, #165290)
2660
* Fall back to showing e-mail in ``log --short/--line`` if the
2661
committer/author has only e-mail. (Lukáš Lalinský, #157026)
2665
* Deprecate not passing a ``location`` argument to commit reporters'
2666
``started`` methods. (Matt Nordhoff)
2669
bzr 1.0rc1 2007-11-30
2670
---------------------
2672
NOTES WHEN UPGRADING:
2674
* The default repository format is now ``pack-0.92``. This
2675
default is used when creating new repositories with ``init`` and
2676
``init-repo``, and when branching over bzr+ssh or bzr+hpss.
2677
(See https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/164626)
2679
This format can be read and written by Bazaar 0.92 and later, and
2680
data can be transferred to and from older formats.
2682
To upgrade, please reconcile your repository (``bzr reconcile``), and then
2683
upgrade (``bzr upgrade``).
2685
``pack-0.92`` offers substantially better scaling and performance than the
2686
previous knits format. Some operations are slower where the code already
2687
had bad scaling characteristics under knits, the pack format makes such
2688
operations more visible as part of being more scalable overall. We will
2689
correct such operations over the coming releases and encourage the filing
2690
of bugs on any operation which you observe to be slower in a packs
2691
repository. One particular case that we do not intend to fix is pulling
2692
data from a pack repository into a knit repository over a high latency
2693
link; downgrading such data requires reinsertion of the file texts, and
2694
this is a classic space/time tradeoff. The current implementation is
2695
conservative on memory usage because we need to support converting data
2696
from any tree without problems.
2697
(Robert Collins, Martin Pool, #164476)
2701
* Disable detection of plink.exe as possible ssh vendor. Plink vendor
2702
still available if user selects it explicitly with BZR_SSH environment
2703
variable. (Alexander Belchenko, workaround for bug #107593)
2705
* The pack format is now accessible as "pack-0.92", or "pack-0.92-subtree"
2706
to enable the subtree functions (for example, for bzr-svn).
2707
See http://doc.bazaar-vcs.org/latest/developer/packrepo.html
2712
* New ``authentication.conf`` file holding the password or other credentials
2713
for remote servers. This can be used for ssh, sftp, smtp and other
2714
supported transports.
2717
* New rich-root and rich-root-pack formats, recording the same data about
2718
tree roots that's recorded for all other directories.
2719
(Aaron Bentley, #164639)
2721
* ``pack-0.92`` repositories can now be reconciled.
2722
(Robert Collins, #154173)
2724
* ``switch`` command added for changing the branch a lightweight checkout
2725
is associated with and updating the tree to reflect the latest content
2726
accordingly. This command was previously part of the BzrTools plug-in.
2727
(Ian Clatworthy, Aaron Bentley, David Allouche)
2729
* ``reconfigure`` command can now convert branches, trees, or checkouts to
2730
lightweight checkouts. (Aaron Bentley)
2734
* Commit updates the state of the working tree via a delta rather than
2735
supplying entirely new basis trees. For commit of a single specified file
2736
this reduces the wall clock time for commit by roughly a 30%.
2737
(Robert Collins, Martin Pool)
2739
* Commit with many automatically found deleted paths no longer performs
2740
linear scanning for the children of those paths during inventory
2741
iteration. This should fix commit performance blowing out when many such
2742
paths occur during commit. (Robert Collins, #156491)
2744
* Fetch with pack repositories will no longer read the entire history graph.
2745
(Robert Collins, #88319)
2747
* Revert takes out an appropriate lock when reverting to a basis tree, and
2748
does not read the basis inventory twice. (Robert Collins)
2750
* Diff does not require an inventory to be generated on dirstate trees.
2751
(Aaron Bentley, #149254)
2753
* New annotate merge (--merge-type=weave) implementation is fast on
2754
versionedfiles withough cached annotations, e.g. pack-0.92.
2759
* ``bzr merge`` now warns when it encounters a criss-cross merge.
2762
* ``bzr send`` now doesn't require the target e-mail address to be
2763
specified on the command line if an interactive e-mail client is used.
2766
* ``bzr tags`` now prints the revision number for each tag, instead of
2767
the revision id, unless --show-ids is passed. In addition, tags can be
2768
sorted chronologically instead of lexicographically with --sort=time.
2769
(Adeodato Simó, #120231)
2771
* Windows standalone version of bzr is able to load system-wide plugins from
2772
"plugins" subdirectory in installation directory. In addition standalone
2773
installer write to the registry (HKLM\SOFTWARE\Bazaar) useful info
2774
about paths and bzr version. (Alexander Belchenko, #129298)
2780
* A progress bar has been added for knitpack -> knitpack fetching.
2781
(Robert Collins, #157789, #159147)
2783
* Branching from a branch via smart server now preserves the repository
2784
format. (Andrew Bennetts, #164626)
2786
* ``commit`` is now able to invoke an external editor in a non-ascii
2787
directory. (Daniel Watkins, #84043)
2789
* Catch connection errors for ftp.
2790
(Vincent Ladeuil, #164567)
2792
* ``check`` no longer reports spurious unreferenced text versions.
2793
(Robert Collins, John A Meinel, #162931, #165071)
2795
* Conflicts are now resolved recursively by ``revert``.
2796
(Aaron Bentley, #102739)
2798
* Detect invalid transport reuse attempts by catching invalid URLs.
2799
(Vincent Ladeuil, #161819)
2801
* Deleting a file without removing it shows a correct diff, not a traceback.
2804
* Do no use timeout in HttpServer anymore.
2805
(Vincent Ladeuil, #158972).
2807
* Don't catch the exceptions related to the http pipeline status before
2808
retrying an http request or some programming errors may be masked.
2809
(Vincent Ladeuil, #160012)
2811
* Fix ``bzr rm`` to not delete modified and ignored files.
2812
(Lukáš Lalinský, #172598)
2814
* Fix exception when revisionspec contains merge revisons but log
2815
formatter doesn't support merge revisions. (Kent Gibson, #148908)
2817
* Fix exception when ScopeReplacer is assigned to before any members have
2818
been retrieved. (Aaron Bentley)
2820
* Fix multiple connections during checkout --lightweight.
2821
(Vincent Ladeuil, #159150)
2823
* Fix possible error in insert_data_stream when copying between
2824
pack repositories over bzr+ssh or bzr+http.
2825
KnitVersionedFile.get_data_stream now makes sure that requested
2826
compression parents are sent before any delta hunks that depend
2828
(Martin Pool, #164637)
2830
* Fix typo in limiting offsets coalescing for http, leading to
2831
whole files being downloaded instead of parts.
2832
(Vincent Ladeuil, #165061)
2834
* FTP server errors don't error in the error handling code.
2835
(Robert Collins, #161240)
2837
* Give a clearer message when a pull fails because the source needs
2839
(Martin Pool, #164443)
2841
* It is clearer when a plugin cannot be loaded because of its name, and a
2842
suggestion for an acceptable name is given. (Daniel Watkins, #103023)
2844
* Leave port as None in transport objects if user doesn't
2845
specify a port in urls.
2846
(vincent Ladeuil, #150860)
2848
* Make sure Repository.fetch(self) is properly a no-op for all
2849
Repository implementations. (John Arbash Meinel, #158333)
2851
* Mark .bzr directories as "hidden" on Windows.
2852
(Alexander Belchenko, #71147)
2854
* ``merge --uncommitted`` can now operate on a single file.
2855
(Aaron Bentley, Lukáš Lalinský, #136890)
2857
* Obsolete packs are now cleaned up by pack and autopack operations.
2858
(Robert Collins, #153789)
2860
* Operations pulling data from a smart server where the underlying
2861
repositories are not both annotated/both unannotated will now work.
2862
(Robert Collins, #165304).
2864
* Reconcile now shows progress bars. (Robert Collins, #159351)
2866
* ``RemoteBranch`` was not initializing ``self._revision_id_to_revno_map``
2867
properly. (John Arbash Meinel, #162486)
2869
* Removing an already-removed file reports the file does not exist. (Daniel
2872
* Rename on Windows is able to change filename case.
2873
(Alexander Belchenko, #77740)
2875
* Return error instead of a traceback for ``bzr log -r0``.
2876
(Kent Gibson, #133751)
2878
* Return error instead of a traceback when bzr is unable to create
2879
symlink on some platforms (e.g. on Windows).
2880
(Alexander Belchenko, workaround for #81689)
2882
* Revert doesn't crash when restoring a single file from a deleted
2883
directory. (Aaron Bentley)
2885
* Stderr output via logging mechanism now goes through encoded wrapper
2886
and no more uses utf-8, but terminal encoding instead. So all unicode
2887
strings now should be readable in non-utf-8 terminal.
2888
(Alexander Belchenko, #54173)
2890
* The error message when ``move --after`` should be used makes how to do so
2891
clearer. (Daniel Watkins, #85237)
2893
* Unicode-safe output from ``bzr info``. The output will be encoded
2894
using the terminal encoding and unrepresentable characters will be
2895
replaced by '?'. (Lukáš Lalinský, #151844)
2897
* Working trees are no longer created when pushing into a local no-trees
2898
repo. (Daniel Watkins, #50582)
2900
* Upgrade util/configobj to version 4.4.0.
2901
(Vincent Ladeuil, #151208).
2903
* Wrap medusa ftp test server as an FTPServer feature.
2904
(Vincent Ladeuil, #157752)
2908
* ``osutils.backup_file`` is deprecated. Actually it's not used in bzrlib
2909
during very long time. (Alexander Belchenko)
2911
* The return value of
2912
``VersionedFile.iter_lines_added_or_present_in_versions`` has been
2913
changed. Previously it was an iterator of lines, now it is an iterator of
2914
(line, version_id) tuples. This change has been made to aid reconcile and
2915
fetch operations. (Robert Collins)
2917
* ``bzrlib.repository.get_versioned_file_checker`` is now private.
2920
* The Repository format registry default has been removed; it was previously
2921
obsoleted by the bzrdir format default, which implies a default repository
2927
* Added ``ContainerSerialiser`` and ``ContainerPushParser`` to
2928
``bzrlib.pack``. These classes provide more convenient APIs for generating
2929
and parsing containers from streams rather than from files. (Andrew
2932
* New module ``lru_cache`` providing a cache for use by tasks that need
2933
semi-random access to large amounts of data. (John A Meinel)
2935
* InventoryEntry.diff is now deprecated. Please use diff.DiffTree instead.
2945
* New uninstaller on Win32. (Alexander Belchenko)
2948
bzr 0.92rc1 2007-10-29
2949
----------------------
2951
NOTES WHEN UPGRADING:
2955
* ``bzr`` now returns exit code 4 if an internal error occurred, and
2956
3 if a normal error occurred. (Martin Pool)
2958
* ``pull``, ``merge`` and ``push`` will no longer silently correct some
2959
repository index errors that occured as a result of the Weave disk format.
2960
Instead the ``reconcile`` command needs to be run to correct those
2961
problems if they exist (and it has been able to fix most such problems
2962
since bzr 0.8). Some new problems have been identified during this release
2963
and you should run ``bzr check`` once on every repository to see if you
2964
need to reconcile. If you cannot ``pull`` or ``merge`` from a remote
2965
repository due to mismatched parent errors - a symptom of index errors -
2966
you should simply take a full copy of that remote repository to a clean
2967
directory outside any local repositories, then run reconcile on it, and
2968
finally pull from it locally. (And naturally email the repositories owner
2969
to ask them to upgrade and run reconcile).
2974
* New ``knitpack-experimental`` repository format. This is interoperable with
2975
the ``dirstate-tags`` format but uses a smarter storage design that greatly
2976
speeds up many operations, both local and remote. This new format can be
2977
used as an option to the ``init``, ``init-repository`` and ``upgrade``
2978
commands. See http://doc.bazaar-vcs.org/0.92/developers/knitpack.html
2979
for further details. (Robert Collins)
2981
* For users of bzr-svn (and those testing the prototype subtree support) that
2982
wish to try packs, a new ``knitpack-subtree-experimental`` format has also
2983
been added. This is interoperable with the ``dirstate-subtrees`` format.
2986
* New ``reconfigure`` command. (Aaron Bentley)
2988
* New ``revert --forget-merges`` command, which removes the record of a pending
2989
merge without affecting the working tree contents. (Martin Pool)
2991
* New ``bzr_remote_path`` configuration variable allows finer control of
2992
remote bzr locations than BZR_REMOTE_PATH environment variable.
2995
* New ``launchpad-login`` command to tell Bazaar your Launchpad
2996
user ID. This can then be used by other functions of the
2997
Launchpad plugin. (James Henstridge)
3001
* Commit in quiet mode is now slightly faster as the information to
3002
output is no longer calculated. (Ian Clatworthy)
3004
* Commit no longer checks for new text keys during insertion when the
3005
revision id was deterministically unique. (Robert Collins)
3007
* Committing a change which is not a merge and does not change the number of
3008
files in the tree is faster by utilising the data about whether files are
3009
changed to determine if the tree is unchanged rather than recalculating
3010
it at the end of the commit process. (Robert Collins)
3012
* Inventory serialisation no longer double-sha's the content.
3015
* Knit text reconstruction now avoids making copies of the lines list for
3016
interim texts when building a single text. The new ``apply_delta`` method
3017
on ``KnitContent`` aids this by allowing modification of the revision id
3018
such objects represent. (Robert Collins)
3020
* Pack indices are now partially parsed for specific key lookup using a
3021
bisection approach. (Robert Collins)
3023
* Partial commits are now approximately 40% faster by walking over the
3024
unselected current tree more efficiently. (Robert Collins)
3026
* XML inventory serialisation takes 20% less time while being stricter about
3027
the contents. (Robert Collins)
3029
* Graph ``heads()`` queries have been fixed to no longer access all history
3030
unnecessarily. (Robert Collins)
3034
* ``bzr+https://`` smart server across https now supported.
3035
(John Ferlito, Martin Pool, #128456)
3037
* Mutt is now a supported mail client; set ``mail_client=mutt`` in your
3038
bazaar.conf and ``send`` will use mutt. (Keir Mierle)
3040
* New option ``-c``/``--change`` for ``merge`` command for cherrypicking
3041
changes from one revision. (Alexander Belchenko, #141368)
3043
* Show encodings, locale and list of plugins in the traceback message.
3044
(Martin Pool, #63894)
3046
* Experimental directory formats can now be marked with
3047
``experimental = True`` during registration. (Ian Clatworthy)
3051
* New *Bazaar in Five Minutes* guide. (Matthew Revell)
3053
* The hooks reference documentation is now converted to html as expected.
3058
* Connection error reporting for the smart server has been fixed to
3059
display a user friendly message instead of a traceback.
3060
(Ian Clatworthy, #115601)
3062
* Make sure to use ``O_BINARY`` when opening files to check their
3063
sha1sum. (Alexander Belchenko, John Arbash Meinel, #153493)
3065
* Fix a problem with Win32 handling of the executable bit.
3066
(John Arbash Meinel, #149113)
3068
* ``bzr+ssh://`` and ``sftp://`` URLs that do not specify ports explicitly
3069
no longer assume that means port 22. This allows people using OpenSSH to
3070
override the default port in their ``~/.ssh/config`` if they wish. This
3071
fixes a bug introduced in bzr 0.91. (Andrew Bennetts, #146715)
3073
* Commands reporting exceptions can now be profiled and still have their
3074
data correctly dumped to a file. For example, a ``bzr commit`` with
3075
no changes still reports the operation as pointless but doing so no
3076
longer throws away the profiling data if this command is run with
3077
``--lsprof-file callgrind.out.ci`` say. (Ian Clatworthy)
3079
* Fallback to ftp when paramiko is not installed and sftp can't be used for
3080
``tests/commands`` so that the test suite is still usable without
3082
(Vincent Ladeuil, #59150)
3084
* Fix commit ordering in corner case. (Aaron Bentley, #94975)
3086
* Fix long standing bug in partial commit when there are renames
3087
left in tree. (Robert Collins, #140419)
3089
* Fix selftest semi-random noise during http related tests.
3090
(Vincent Ladeuil, #140614)
3092
* Fix typo in ftp.py making the reconnection fail on temporary errors.
3093
(Vincent Ladeuil, #154259)
3095
* Fix failing test by comparing real paths to cover the case where the TMPDIR
3096
contains a symbolic link.
3097
(Vincent Ladeuil, #141382).
3099
* Fix log against smart server branches that don't support tags.
3100
(James Westby, #140615)
3102
* Fix pycurl http implementation by defining error codes from
3103
pycurl instead of relying on an old curl definition.
3104
(Vincent Ladeuil, #147530)
3106
* Fix 'unprintable error' message when displaying BzrCheckError and
3107
some other exceptions on Python 2.5.
3108
(Martin Pool, #144633)
3110
* Fix ``Inventory.copy()`` and add test for it. (Jelmer Vernooij)
3112
* Handles default value for ListOption in cmd_commit.
3113
(Vincent Ladeuil, #140432)
3115
* HttpServer and FtpServer need to be closed properly or a listening socket
3117
(Vincent Ladeuil, #140055)
3119
* Monitor the .bzr directory created in the top level test
3120
directory to detect leaking tests.
3121
(Vincent Ladeuil, #147986)
3123
* The basename, not the full path, is now used when checking whether
3124
the profiling dump file begins with ``callgrind.out`` or not. This
3125
fixes a bug reported by Aaron Bentley on IRC. (Ian Clatworthy)
3127
* Trivial fix for invoking command ``reconfigure`` without arguments.
3130
* ``WorkingTree.rename_one`` will now raise an error if normalisation of the
3131
new path causes bzr to be unable to access the file. (Robert Collins)
3133
* Correctly detect a NoSuchFile when using a filezilla server. (Gary van der
3138
* ``bzrlib.index.GraphIndex`` now requires a size parameter to the
3139
constructor, for enabling bisection searches. (Robert Collins)
3141
* ``CommitBuilder.record_entry_contents`` now requires the root entry of a
3142
tree be supplied to it, previously failing to do so would trigger a
3143
deprecation warning. (Robert Collins)
3145
* ``KnitVersionedFile.add*`` will no longer cache added records even when
3146
enable_cache() has been called - the caching feature is now exclusively for
3147
reading existing data. (Robert Collins)
3149
* ``ReadOnlyLockError`` is deprecated; ``LockFailed`` is usually more
3150
appropriate. (Martin Pool)
3152
* Removed ``bzrlib.transport.TransportLogger`` - please see the new
3153
``trace+`` transport instead. (Robert Collins)
3155
* Removed previously deprecated varargs interface to ``TestCase.run_bzr`` and
3156
deprecated methods ``TestCase.capture`` and ``TestCase.run_bzr_captured``.
3159
* Removed previous deprecated ``basis_knit`` parameter to the
3160
``KnitVersionedFile`` constructor. (Robert Collins)
3162
* Special purpose method ``TestCase.run_bzr_decode`` is moved to the test_non_ascii
3163
class that needs it.
3166
* The class ``bzrlib.repofmt.knitrepo.KnitRepository3`` has been folded into
3167
``KnitRepository`` by parameters to the constructor. (Robert Collins)
3169
* The ``VersionedFile`` interface now allows content checks to be bypassed
3170
by supplying check_content=False. This saves nearly 30% of the minimum
3171
cost to store a version of a file. (Robert Collins)
3173
* Tree's with bad state such as files with no length or sha will no longer
3174
be silently accepted by the repository XML serialiser. To serialise
3175
inventories without such data, pass working=True to write_inventory.
3178
* ``VersionedFile.fix_parents`` has been removed as a harmful API.
3179
``VersionedFile.join`` will no longer accept different parents on either
3180
side of a join - it will either ignore them, or error, depending on the
3181
implementation. See notes when upgrading for more information.
3186
* ``bzrlib.transport.Transport.put_file`` now returns the number of bytes
3187
put by the method call, to allow avoiding stat-after-write or
3188
housekeeping in callers. (Robert Collins)
3190
* ``bzrlib.xml_serializer.Serializer`` is now responsible for checking that
3191
mandatory attributes are present on serialisation and deserialisation.
3192
This fixes some holes in API usage and allows better separation between
3193
physical storage and object serialisation. (Robert Collins)
3195
* New class ``bzrlib.errors.InternalBzrError`` which is just a convenient
3196
shorthand for deriving from BzrError and setting internal_error = True.
3199
* New method ``bzrlib.mutabletree.update_to_one_parent_via_delta`` for
3200
moving the state of a parent tree to a new version via a delta rather than
3201
a complete replacement tree. (Robert Collins)
3203
* New method ``bzrlib.osutils.minimum_path_selection`` useful for removing
3204
duplication from user input, when a user mentions both a path and an item
3205
contained within that path. (Robert Collins)
3207
* New method ``bzrlib.repository.Repository.is_write_locked`` useful for
3208
determining if a repository is write locked. (Robert Collins)
3210
* New method on ``bzrlib.tree.Tree`` ``path_content_summary`` provides a
3211
tuple containing the key information about a path for commit processing
3212
to complete. (Robert Collins)
3214
* New method on xml serialisers, write_inventory_to_lines, which matches the
3215
API used by knits for adding content. (Robert Collins)
3217
* New module ``bzrlib.bisect_multi`` with generic multiple-bisection-at-once
3218
logic, currently only available for byte-based lookup
3219
(``bisect_multi_bytes``). (Robert Collins)
3221
* New helper ``bzrlib.tuned_gzip.bytes_to_gzip`` which takes a byte string
3222
and returns a gzipped version of the same. This is used to avoid a bunch
3223
of api friction during adding of knit hunks. (Robert Collins)
3225
* New parameter on ``bzrlib.transport.Transport.readv``
3226
``adjust_for_latency`` which changes readv from returning strictly the
3227
requested data to inserted return larger ranges and in forward read order
3228
to reduce the effect of network latency. (Robert Collins)
3230
* New parameter yield_parents on ``Inventory.iter_entries_by_dir`` which
3231
causes the parents of a selected id to be returned recursively, so all the
3232
paths from the root down to each element of selected_file_ids are
3233
returned. (Robert Collins)
3235
* Knit joining has been enhanced to support plain to annotated conversion
3236
and annotated to plain conversion. (Ian Clatworthy)
3238
* The CommitBuilder method ``record_entry_contents`` now returns summary
3239
information about the effect of the commit on the repository. This tuple
3240
contains an inventory delta item if the entry changed from the basis, and a
3241
boolean indicating whether a new file graph node was recorded.
3244
* The python path used in the Makefile can now be overridden.
3245
(Andrew Bennetts, Ian Clatworthy)
3249
* New transport implementation ``trace+`` which is useful for testing,
3250
logging activity taken to its _activity attribute. (Robert Collins)
3252
* When running bzr commands within the test suite, internal exceptions are
3253
not caught and reported in the usual way, but rather allowed to propagate
3254
up and be visible to the test suite. A new API ``run_bzr_catch_user_errors``
3255
makes this behavior available to other users.
3258
* New method ``TestCase.call_catch_warnings`` for testing methods that
3259
raises a Python warning. (Martin Pool)
3267
* Print a warning instead of aborting the ``python setup.py install``
3268
process if building of a C extension is not possible.
3269
(Lukáš Lalinský, Alexander Belchenko)
3271
* Fix commit ordering in corner case (Aaron Bentley, #94975)
3273
* Fix ''bzr info bzr://host/'' and other operations on ''bzr://' URLs with
3274
an implicit port. We were incorrectly raising PathNotChild due to
3275
inconsistent treatment of the ''_port'' attribute on the Transport object.
3276
(Andrew Bennetts, #133965)
3278
* Make RemoteRepository.sprout cope gracefully with servers that don't
3279
support the ``Repository.tarball`` request.
3283
bzr 0.91rc2 2007-09-11
3284
----------------------
3286
* Replaced incorrect tarball for previous release; a debug statement was left
3287
in bzrlib/remote.py.
3290
bzr 0.91rc1 2007-09-11
3291
----------------------
3295
* The default branch and repository format has changed to
3296
``dirstate-tags``, so tag commands are active by default.
3297
This format is compatible with Bazaar 0.15 and later.
3298
This incidentally fixes bug #126141.
3301
* ``--quiet`` or ``-q`` is no longer a global option. If present, it
3302
must now appear after the command name. Scripts doing things like
3303
``bzr -q missing`` need to be rewritten as ``bzr missing -q``.
3308
* New option ``--author`` in ``bzr commit`` to specify the author of the
3309
change, if it's different from the committer. ``bzr log`` and
3310
``bzr annotate`` display the author instead of the committer.
3313
* In addition to global options and command specific options, a set of
3314
standard options are now supported. Standard options are legal for
3315
all commands. The initial set of standard options are:
3317
* ``--help`` or ``-h`` - display help message
3318
* ``--verbose`` or ``-v`` - display additional information
3319
* ``--quiet`` or ``-q`` - only output warnings and errors.
3321
Unlike global options, standard options can be used in aliases and
3322
may have command-specific help. (Ian Clatworthy)
3324
* Verbosity level processing has now been unified. If ``--verbose``
3325
or ``-v`` is specified on the command line multiple times, the
3326
verbosity level is made positive the first time then increased.
3327
If ``--quiet`` or ``-q`` is specified on the command line
3328
multiple times, the verbosity level is made negative the first
3329
time then decreased. To get the default verbosity level of zero,
3330
either specify none of the above , ``--no-verbose`` or ``--no-quiet``.
3331
Note that most commands currently ignore the magnitude of the
3332
verbosity level but do respect *quiet vs normal vs verbose* when
3333
generating output. (Ian Clatworthy)
3335
* ``Branch.hooks`` now supports ``pre_commit`` hook. The hook's signature
3336
is documented in BranchHooks constructor. (Nam T. Nguyen, #102747)
3338
* New ``Repository.stream_knit_data_for_revisions`` request added to the
3339
network protocol for greatly reduced roundtrips when retrieving a set of
3340
revisions. (Andrew Bennetts)
3344
* ``bzr plugins`` now lists the version number for each plugin in square
3345
brackets after the path. (Robert Collins, #125421)
3347
* Pushing, pulling and branching branches with subtree references was not
3348
copying the subtree weave, preventing the file graph from being accessed
3349
and causing errors in commits in clones. (Robert Collins)
3351
* Suppress warning "integer argument expected, got float" from Paramiko,
3352
which sometimes caused false test failures. (Martin Pool)
3354
* Fix bug in bundle 4 that could cause attempts to write data to wrong
3355
versionedfile. (Aaron Bentley)
3357
* Diffs generated using "diff -p" no longer break the patch parser.
3360
* get_transport treats an empty possible_transports list the same as a non-
3361
empty one. (Aaron Bentley)
3363
* patch verification for merge directives is reactivated, and works with
3364
CRLF and CR files. (Aaron Bentley)
3366
* Accept ..\ as a path in revision specifiers. This fixes for example
3367
"-r branch:..\other-branch" on Windows. (Lukáš Lalinský)
3369
* ``BZR_PLUGIN_PATH`` may now contain trailing slashes.
3370
(Blake Winton, #129299)
3372
* man page no longer lists hidden options (#131667, Aaron Bentley)
3374
* ``uncommit --help`` now explains the -r option adequately. (Daniel
3377
* Error messages are now better formatted with parameters (such as
3378
filenames) quoted when necessary. This avoids confusion when directory
3379
names ending in a '.' at the end of messages were confused with a
3380
full stop that may or not have been there. (Daniel Watkins, #129791)
3382
* Fix ``status FILE -r X..Y``. (Lukáš Lalinský)
3384
* If a particular command is an alias, ``help`` will show the alias
3385
instead of claiming there is no help for said alias. (Daniel Watkins,
3388
* TreeTransform-based operations, like pull, merge, revert, and branch,
3389
now roll back if they encounter an error. (Aaron Bentley, #67699)
3391
* ``bzr commit`` now exits cleanly if a character unsupported by the
3392
current encoding is used in the commit message. (Daniel Watkins,
3395
* bzr send uses default values for ranges when only half of an elipsis
3396
is specified ("-r..5" or "-r5.."). (#61685, Aaron Bentley)
3398
* Avoid trouble when Windows ssh calls itself 'plink' but no plink
3399
binary is present. (Martin Albisetti, #107155)
3401
* ``bzr remove`` should remove clean subtrees. Now it will remove (without
3402
needing ``--force``) subtrees that contain no files with text changes or
3403
modified files. With ``--force`` it removes the subtree regardless of
3404
text changes or unknown files. Directories with renames in or out (but
3405
not changed otherwise) will now be removed without needing ``--force``.
3406
Unknown ignored files will be deleted without needing ``--force``.
3407
(Marius Kruger, #111665)
3409
* When two plugins conflict, the source of both the losing and now the
3410
winning definition is shown. (Konstantin Mikhaylov, #5454)
3412
* When committing to a branch, the location being committed to is
3413
displayed. (Daniel Watkins, #52479)
3415
* ``bzr --version`` takes care about encoding of stdout, especially
3416
when output is redirected. (Alexander Belchenko, #131100)
3418
* Prompt for an ftp password if none is provided.
3419
(Vincent Ladeuil, #137044)
3421
* Reuse bound branch associated transport to avoid multiple
3423
(Vincent Ladeuil, #128076, #131396)
3425
* Overwrite conflicting tags by ``push`` and ``pull`` if the
3426
``--overwrite`` option is specified. (Lukáš Lalinský, #93947)
3428
* In checkouts, tags are copied into the master branch when created,
3429
changed or deleted, and are copied into the checkout when it is
3430
updated. (Martin Pool, #93856, #93860)
3432
* Print a warning instead of aborting the ``python setup.py install``
3433
process if building of a C extension is not possible.
3434
(Lukáš Lalinský, Alexander Belchenko)
3438
* Add the option "--show-diff" to the commit command in order to display
3439
the diff during the commit log creation. (Goffredo Baroncelli)
3441
* ``pull`` and ``merge`` are much faster at installing bundle format 4.
3444
* ``pull -v`` no longer includes deltas, making it much faster.
3447
* ``send`` now sends the directive as an attachment by default.
3448
(Aaron Bentley, Lukáš Lalinský, Alexander Belchenko)
3450
* Documentation updates (Martin Albisetti)
3452
* Help on debug flags is now included in ``help global-options``.
3453
(Daniel Watkins, #124853)
3455
* Parameters passed on the command line are checked to ensure they are
3456
supported by the encoding in use. (Daniel Watkins)
3458
* The compression used within the bzr repository has changed from zlib
3459
level 9 to the zlib default level. This improves commit performance with
3460
only a small increase in space used (and in some cases a reduction in
3461
space). (Robert Collins)
3463
* Initial commit no longer SHAs files twice and now reuses the path
3464
rather than looking it up again, making it faster.
3467
* New option ``-c``/``--change`` for ``diff`` and ``status`` to show
3468
changes in one revision. (Lukáš Lalinský)
3470
* If versioned files match a given ignore pattern, a warning is now
3471
given. (Daniel Watkins, #48623)
3473
* ``bzr status`` now has -S as a short name for --short and -V as a
3474
short name for --versioned. These have been added to assist users
3475
migrating from Subversion: ``bzr status -SV`` is now like
3476
``svn status -q``. (Daniel Watkins, #115990)
3478
* Added C implementation of ``PatienceSequenceMatcher``, which is about
3479
10x faster than the Python version. This speeds up commands that
3480
need file diffing, such as ``bzr commit`` or ``bzr diff``.
3483
* HACKING has been extended with a large section on core developer tasks.
3486
* Add ``branches`` and ``standalone-trees`` as online help topics and
3487
include them as Concepts within the User Reference.
3488
(Paul Moore, Ian Clatworthy)
3490
* ``check`` can detect versionedfile parent references that are
3491
inconsistent with revision and inventory info, and ``reconcile`` can fix
3492
them. These faulty references were generated by 0.8-era releases,
3493
so repositories which were manipulated by old bzrs should be
3494
checked, and possibly reconciled ASAP. (Aaron Bentley, Andrew Bennetts)
3498
* ``Branch.append_revision`` is removed altogether; please use
3499
``Branch.set_last_revision_info`` instead. (Martin Pool)
3501
* CommitBuilder now advertises itself as requiring the root entry to be
3502
supplied. This only affects foreign repository implementations which reuse
3503
CommitBuilder directly and have changed record_entry_contents to require
3504
that the root not be supplied. This should be precisely zero plugins
3505
affected. (Robert Collins)
3507
* The ``add_lines`` methods on ``VersionedFile`` implementations has changed
3508
its return value to include the sha1 and length of the inserted text. This
3509
allows the avoidance of double-sha1 calculations during commit.
3512
* ``Transport.should_cache`` has been removed. It was not called in the
3513
previous release. (Martin Pool)
3517
* Tests may now raise TestNotApplicable to indicate they shouldn't be
3518
run in a particular scenario. (Martin Pool)
3520
* New function multiply_tests_from_modules to give a simpler interface
3521
to test parameterization. (Martin Pool, Robert Collins)
3523
* ``Transport.should_cache`` has been removed. It was not called in the
3524
previous release. (Martin Pool)
3526
* NULL_REVISION is returned to indicate the null revision, not None.
3529
* Use UTF-8 encoded StringIO for log tests to avoid failures on
3530
non-ASCII committer names. (Lukáš Lalinský)
3534
* ``bzrlib.plugin.all_plugins`` has been deprecated in favour of
3535
``bzrlib.plugin.plugins()`` which returns PlugIn objects that provide
3536
useful functionality for determining the path of a plugin, its tests, and
3537
its version information. (Robert Collins)
3539
* Add the option user_encoding to the function 'show_diff_trees()'
3540
in order to move the user encoding at the UI level. (Goffredo Baroncelli)
3542
* Add the function make_commit_message_template_encoded() and the function
3543
edit_commit_message_encoded() which handle encoded strings.
3544
This is done in order to mix the commit messages (which is a unicode
3545
string), and the diff which is a raw string. (Goffredo Baroncelli)
3547
* CommitBuilder now defaults to using add_lines_with_ghosts, reducing
3548
overhead on non-weave repositories which don't require all parents to be
3549
present. (Robert Collins)
3551
* Deprecated method ``find_previous_heads`` on
3552
``bzrlib.inventory.InventoryEntry``. This has been superseded by the use
3553
of ``parent_candidates`` and a separate heads check via the repository
3554
API. (Robert Collins)
3556
* New trace function ``mutter_callsite`` will print out a subset of the
3557
stack to the log, which can be useful for gathering debug details.
3560
* ``bzrlib.pack.ContainerWriter`` now tracks how many records have been
3561
added via a public attribute records_written. (Robert Collins)
3563
* New method ``bzrlib.transport.Transport.get_recommended_page_size``.
3564
This provides a hint to users of transports as to the reasonable
3565
minimum data to read. In principle this can take latency and
3566
bandwidth into account on a per-connection basis, but for now it
3567
just has hard coded values based on the url. (e.g. http:// has a large
3568
page size, file:// has a small one.) (Robert Collins)
3570
* New method on ``bzrlib.transport.Transport`` ``open_write_stream`` allows
3571
incremental addition of data to a file without requiring that all the
3572
data be buffered in memory. (Robert Collins)
3574
* New methods on ``bzrlib.knit.KnitVersionedFile``:
3575
``get_data_stream(versions)``, ``insert_data_stream(stream)`` and
3576
``get_format_signature()``. These provide some infrastructure for
3577
efficiently streaming the knit data for a set of versions over the smart
3580
* Knits with no annotation cache still produce correct annotations.
3583
* Three new methods have been added to ``bzrlib.trace``:
3584
``set_verbosity_level``, ``get_verbosity_level`` and ``is_verbose``.
3585
``set_verbosity_level`` expects a numeric value: negative for quiet,
3586
zero for normal, positive for verbose. The size of the number can be
3587
used to determine just how quiet or verbose the application should be.
3588
The existing ``be_quiet`` and ``is_quiet`` routines have been
3589
integrated into this new scheme. (Ian Clatworthy)
3591
* Options can now be delcared with a ``custom_callback`` parameter. If
3592
set, this routine is called after the option is processed. This feature
3593
is now used by the standard options ``verbose`` and ``quiet`` so that
3594
setting one implicitly resets the other. (Ian Clatworthy)
3596
* Rather than declaring a new option from scratch in order to provide
3597
custom help, a centrally registered option can be decorated using the
3598
new ``bzrlib.Option.custom_help`` routine. In particular, this routine
3599
is useful when declaring better help for the ``verbose`` and ``quiet``
3600
standard options as the base definition of these is now more complex
3601
than before thanks to their use of a custom callback. (Ian Clatworthy)
3603
* Tree._iter_changes(specific_file=[]) now iterates through no files,
3604
instead of iterating through all files. None is used to iterate through
3605
all files. (Aaron Bentley)
3607
* WorkingTree.revert() now accepts None to revert all files. The use of
3608
[] to revert all files is deprecated. (Aaron Bentley)
3616
* Documentation is now organized into multiple directories with a level
3617
added for different languages or locales. Added the Mini Tutorial
3618
and Quick Start Summary (en) documents from the Wiki, improving the
3619
content and readability of the former. Formatted NEWS as Release Notes
3620
complete with a Table of Conents, one heading per release. Moved the
3621
Developer Guide into the main document catalog and provided a link
3622
from the developer document catalog back to the main one.
3623
(Ian Clatworthy, Sabin Iacob, Alexander Belchenko)
3628
* The static convenience method ``BzrDir.create_repository``
3629
is deprecated. Callers should instead create a ``BzrDir`` instance
3630
and call ``create_repository`` on that. (Martin Pool)
3633
bzr 0.90rc1 2007-08-14
3634
----------------------
3638
* ``bzr init`` should connect to the remote location one time only. We
3639
have been connecting several times because we forget to pass around the
3640
Transport object. This modifies ``BzrDir.create_branch_convenience``,
3641
so that we can give it the Transport we already have.
3642
(John Arbash Meinel, Vincent Ladeuil, #111702)
3644
* Get rid of sftp connection cache (get rid of the FTP one too).
3645
(Vincent Ladeuil, #43731)
3647
* bzr branch {local|remote} remote don't try to create a working tree
3649
(Vincent Ladeuil, #112173)
3651
* All identified multiple connections for a single bzr command have been
3652
fixed. See bzrlib/tests/commands directory.
3655
* ``bzr rm`` now does not insist on ``--force`` to delete files that
3656
have been renamed but not otherwise modified. (Marius Kruger,
3659
* ``bzr selftest --bench`` no longer emits deprecation warnings
3662
* ``bzr status`` now honours FILE parameters for conflict lists
3663
(Aaron Bentley, #127606)
3665
* ``bzr checkout`` now honours -r when reconstituting a working tree.
3666
It also honours -r 0. (Aaron Bentley, #127708)
3668
* ``bzr add *`` no more fails on Windows if working tree contains
3669
non-ascii file names. (Kuno Meyer, #127361)
3671
* allow ``easy_install bzr`` runs without fatal errors.
3672
(Alexander Belchenko, #125521)
3674
* Graph._filter_candidate_lca does not raise KeyError if a candidate
3675
is eliminated just before it would normally be examined. (Aaron Bentley)
3677
* SMTP connection failures produce a nice message, not a traceback.
3682
* Don't show "dots" progress indicators when run non-interactively, such
3683
as from cron. (Martin Pool)
3685
* ``info`` now formats locations more nicely and lists "submit" and
3686
"public" branches (Aaron Bentley)
3688
* New ``pack`` command that will trigger database compression within
3689
the repository (Robert Collins)
3691
* Implement ``_KnitIndex._load_data`` in a pyrex extension. The pyrex
3692
version is approximately 2-3x faster at parsing a ``.kndx`` file.
3693
Which yields a measurable improvement for commands which have to
3694
read from the repository, such as a 1s => 0.75s improvement in
3695
``bzr diff`` when there are changes to be shown. (John Arbash Meinel)
3697
* Merge is now faster. Depending on the scenario, it can be more than 2x
3698
faster. (Aaron Bentley)
3700
* Give a clearer warning, and allow ``python setup.py install`` to
3701
succeed even if pyrex is not available.
3702
(John Arbash Meinel)
3704
* ``DirState._read_dirblocks`` now has an optional Pyrex
3705
implementation. This improves the speed of any command that has to
3706
read the entire DirState. (``diff``, ``status``, etc, improve by
3708
``bisect_dirblocks`` has also been improved, which helps all
3709
``_get_entry`` type calls (whenever we are searching for a
3710
particular entry in the in-memory DirState).
3711
(John Arbash Meinel)
3713
* ``bzr pull`` and ``bzr push`` no longer do a complete walk of the
3714
branch revision history for ui display unless -v is supplied.
3717
* ``bzr log -rA..B`` output shifted to the left margin if the log only
3718
contains merge revisions. (Kent Gibson)
3720
* The ``plugins`` command is now public with improved help.
3723
* New bundle and merge directive formats are faster to generate, and
3725
* Annotate merge now works when there are local changes. (Aaron Bentley)
3727
* Commit now only shows the progress in terms of directories instead of
3728
entries. (Ian Clatworthy)
3730
* Fix ``KnitRepository.get_revision_graph`` to not request the graph 2
3731
times. This makes ``get_revision_graph`` 2x faster. (John Arbash
3734
* Fix ``VersionedFile.get_graph()`` to avoid using
3735
``set.difference_update(other)``, which has bad scaling when
3736
``other`` is large. This improves ``VF.get_graph([version_id])`` for
3737
a 12.5k graph from 2.9s down to 200ms. (John Arbash Meinel)
3739
* The ``--lsprof-file`` option now generates output for KCacheGrind if
3740
the file starts with ``callgrind.out``. This matches the default file
3741
filtering done by KCacheGrind's Open Dialog. (Ian Clatworthy)
3743
* Fix ``bzr update`` to avoid an unnecessary
3744
``branch.get_master_branch`` call, which avoids 1 extra connection
3745
to the remote server. (Partial fix for #128076, John Arbash Meinel)
3747
* Log errors from the smart server in the trace file, to make debugging
3748
test failures (and live failures!) easier. (Andrew Bennetts)
3750
* The HTML version of the man page has been superceded by a more
3751
comprehensive manual called the Bazaar User Reference. This manual
3752
is completed generated from the online help topics. As part of this
3753
change, limited reStructuredText is now explicitly supported in help
3754
topics and command help with 'unnatural' markup being removed prior
3755
to display by the online help or inclusion in the man page.
3758
* HTML documentation now use files extension ``*.html``
3759
(Alexander Belchenko)
3761
* The cache of ignore definitions is now cleared in WorkingTree.unlock()
3762
so that changes to .bzrignore aren't missed. (#129694, Daniel Watkins)
3764
* ``bzr selftest --strict`` fails if there are any missing features or
3765
expected test failures. (Daniel Watkins, #111914)
3767
* Link to registration survey added to README. (Ian Clatworthy)
3769
* Windows standalone installer show link to registration survey
3770
when installation finished. (Alexander Belchenko)
3774
* Deprecated dictionary ``bzrlib.option.SHORT_OPTIONS`` removed.
3775
Options are now required to provide a help string and it must
3776
comply with the style guide by being one or more sentences with an
3777
initial capital and final period. (Martin Pool)
3779
* KnitIndex.get_parents now returns tuples. (Robert Collins)
3781
* Ancient unused ``Repository.text_store`` attribute has been removed.
3784
* The ``bzrlib.pack`` interface has changed to use tuples of bytestrings
3785
rather than just bytestrings, making it easier to represent multiple
3786
element names. As this interface was not used by any internal facilities
3787
since it was introduced in 0.18 no API compatibility is being preserved.
3788
The serialised form of these packs is identical with 0.18 when a single
3789
element tuple is in use. (Robert Collins)
3793
* merge now uses ``iter_changes`` to calculate changes, which makes room for
3794
future performance increases. It is also more consistent with other
3795
operations that perform comparisons, and reduces reliance on
3796
Tree.inventory. (Aaron Bentley)
3798
* Refactoring of transport classes connected to a remote server.
3799
ConnectedTransport is a new class that serves as a basis for all
3800
transports needing to connect to a remote server. transport.split_url
3801
have been deprecated, use the static method on the object instead. URL
3802
tests have been refactored too.
3805
* Better connection sharing for ConnectedTransport objects.
3806
transport.get_transport() now accepts a 'possible_transports' parameter.
3807
If a newly requested transport can share a connection with one of the
3811
* Most functions now accept ``bzrlib.revision.NULL_REVISION`` to indicate
3812
the null revision, and consider using ``None`` for this purpose
3813
deprecated. (Aaron Bentley)
3815
* New ``index`` module with abstract index functionality. This will be
3816
used during the planned changes in the repository layer. Currently the
3817
index layer provides a graph aware immutable index, a builder for the
3818
same index type to allow creating them, and finally a composer for
3819
such indices to allow the use of many indices in a single query. The
3820
index performance is not optimised, however the API is stable to allow
3821
development on top of the index. (Robert Collins)
3823
* ``bzrlib.dirstate.cmp_by_dirs`` can be used to compare two paths by
3824
their directory sections. This is equivalent to comparing
3825
``path.split('/')``, only without having to split the paths.
3826
This has a Pyrex implementation available.
3827
(John Arbash Meinel)
3829
* New transport decorator 'unlistable+' which disables the list_dir
3830
functionality for testing.
3832
* Deprecated ``change_entry`` in transform.py. (Ian Clatworthy)
3834
* RevisionTree.get_weave is now deprecated. Tree.plan_merge is now used
3835
for performing annotate-merge. (Aaron Bentley)
3837
* New EmailMessage class to create email messages. (Adeodato Simó)
3839
* Unused functions on the private interface KnitIndex have been removed.
3842
* New ``knit.KnitGraphIndex`` which provides a ``KnitIndex`` layered on top
3843
of a ``index.GraphIndex``. (Robert Collins)
3845
* New ``knit.KnitVersionedFile.iter_parents`` method that allows querying
3846
the parents of many knit nodes at once, reducing round trips to the
3847
underlying index. (Robert Collins)
3849
* Graph now has an is_ancestor method, various bits use it.
3852
* The ``-Dhpss`` flag now includes timing information. As well as
3853
logging when a new connection is opened. (John Arbash Meinel)
3855
* ``bzrlib.pack.ContainerWriter`` now returns an offset, length tuple to
3856
callers when inserting data, allowing generation of readv style access
3857
during pack creation, without needing a separate pass across the output
3858
pack to gather such details. (Robert Collins)
3860
* ``bzrlib.pack.make_readv_reader`` allows readv based access to pack
3861
files that are stored on a transport. (Robert Collins)
3863
* New ``Repository.has_same_location`` method that reports if two
3864
repository objects refer to the same repository (although with some risk
3865
of false negatives). (Andrew Bennetts)
3867
* InterTree.compare now passes require_versioned on correctly.
3870
* New methods on Repository - ``start_write_group``,
3871
``commit_write_group``, ``abort_write_group`` and ``is_in_write_group`` -
3872
which provide a clean hook point for transactional Repositories - ones
3873
where all the data for a fetch or commit needs to be made atomically
3874
available in one step. This allows the write lock to remain while making
3875
a series of data insertions. (e.g. data conversion). (Robert Collins)
3877
* In ``bzrlib.knit`` the internal interface has been altered to use
3878
3-tuples (index, pos, length) rather than two-tuples (pos, length) to
3879
describe where data in a knit is, allowing knits to be split into
3880
many files. (Robert Collins)
3882
* ``bzrlib.knit._KnitData`` split into cache management and physical access
3883
with two access classes - ``_PackAccess`` and ``_KnitAccess`` defined.
3884
The former provides access into a .pack file, and the latter provides the
3885
current production repository form of .knit files. (Robert Collins)
3889
* Remove selftest ``--clean-output``, ``--numbered-dirs`` and
3890
``--keep-output`` options, which are obsolete now that tests
3891
are done within directories in $TMPDIR. (Martin Pool)
3893
* The SSH_AUTH_SOCK environment variable is now reset to avoid
3894
interaction with any running ssh agents. (Jelmer Vernooij, #125955)
3896
* run_bzr_subprocess handles parameters the same way as run_bzr:
3897
either a string or a list of strings should be passed as the first
3898
parameter. Varargs-style parameters are deprecated. (Aaron Bentley)
3902
--------------------
3906
* Fix 'bzr add' crash under Win32 (Kuno Meyer)
3909
bzr 0.18rc1 2007-07-10
3910
-----------------------
3914
* Do not suppress pipe errors, etc. in non-display commands
3915
(Alexander Belchenko, #87178)
3917
* Display a useful error message when the user requests to annotate
3918
a file that is not present in the specified revision.
3919
(James Westby, #122656)
3921
* Commands that use status flags now have a reference to 'help
3922
status-flags'. (Daniel Watkins, #113436)
3924
* Work around python-2.4.1 inhability to correctly parse the
3925
authentication header.
3926
(Vincent Ladeuil, #121889)
3928
* Use exact encoding for merge directives. (Adeodato Simó, #120591)
3930
* Fix tempfile permissions error in smart server tar bundling under
3931
Windows. (Martin _, #119330)
3933
* Fix detection of directory entries in the inventory. (James Westby)
3935
* Fix handling of http code 400: Bad Request When issuing too many ranges.
3936
(Vincent Ladeuil, #115209)
3938
* Issue a CONNECT request when connecting to an https server
3939
via a proxy to enable SSL tunneling.
3940
(Vincent Ladeuil, #120678)
3942
* Fix ``bzr log -r`` to support selecting merge revisions, both
3943
individually and as part of revision ranges.
3944
(Kent Gibson, #4663)
3946
* Don't leave cruft behind when failing to acquire a lockdir.
3947
(Martin Pool, #109169)
3949
* Don't use the '-f' strace option during tests.
3950
(Vincent Ladeuil, #102019).
3952
* Warn when setting ``push_location`` to a value that will be masked by
3953
locations.conf. (Aaron Bentley, #122286)
3955
* Fix commit ordering in corner case (Aaron Bentley, #94975)
3957
* Make annotate behave in a non-ASCII world (Adeodato Simó).
3961
* The --lsprof-file option now dumps a text rendering of the profiling
3962
information if the filename ends in ".txt". It will also convert the
3963
profiling information to a format suitable for KCacheGrind if the
3964
output filename ends in ".callgrind". Fixes to the lsprofcalltree
3965
conversion process by Jean Paul Calderone and Itamar were also merged.
3966
See http://ddaa.net/blog/python/lsprof-calltree. (Ian Clatworthy)
3968
* ``info`` now defaults to non-verbose mode, displaying only paths and
3969
abbreviated format info. ``info -v`` displays all the information
3970
formerly displayed by ``info``. (Aaron Bentley, Adeodato Simó)
3972
* ``bzr missing`` now has better option names ``--this`` and ``--other``.
3975
* The internal ``weave-list`` command has become ``versionedfile-list``,
3976
and now lists knits as well as weaves. (Aaron Bentley)
3978
* Automatic merge base selection uses a faster algorithm that chooses
3979
better bases in criss-cross merge situations (Aaron Bentley)
3981
* Progress reporting in ``commit`` has been improved. The various logical
3982
stages are now reported on as follows, namely:
3984
* Collecting changes [Entry x/y] - Stage n/m
3985
* Saving data locally - Stage n/m
3986
* Uploading data to master branch - Stage n/m
3987
* Updating the working tree - Stage n/m
3988
* Running post commit hooks - Stage n/m
3990
If there is no master branch, the 3rd stage is omitted and the total
3991
number of stages is adjusted accordingly.
3993
Each hook that is run after commit is listed with a name (as hooks
3994
can be slow it is useful feedback).
3995
(Ian Clatworthy, Robert Collins)
3997
* Various operations that are now faster due to avoiding unnecessary
3998
topological sorts. (Aaron Bentley)
4000
* Make merge directives robust against broken bundles. (Aaron Bentley)
4002
* The lsprof filename note is emitted via trace.note(), not standard
4003
output. (Aaron Bentley)
4005
* ``bzrlib`` now exports explicit API compatibility information to assist
4006
library users and plugins. See the ``bzrlib.api`` module for details.
4009
* Remove unnecessary lock probes when acquiring a lockdir.
4012
* ``bzr --version`` now shows the location of the bzr log file, which
4013
is especially useful on Windows. (Martin Pool)
4015
* -D now supports hooks to get debug tracing of hooks (though its currently
4016
minimal in nature). (Robert Collins)
4018
* Long log format reports deltas on merge revisions.
4019
(John Arbash Meinel, Kent Gibson)
4021
* Make initial push over ftp more resilient. (John Arbash Meinel)
4023
* Print a summary of changes for update just like pull does.
4024
(Daniel Watkins, #113990)
4026
* Add a -Dhpss option to trace smart protocol requests and responses.
4031
* Testing cleanups -

``bzrlib.store.revision.RevisionStoreTestProviderAdapter`` has moved to
4045
``bzrlib.tests.revisionstore_implementations``.
4046
``bzrlib.workingtree.WorkingTreeTestProviderAdapter`` has moved to
4047
``bzrlib.tests.workingtree_implementations``.
4048
These changes are an API break in the testing infrastructure only.
4051
* Relocate TestCaseWithRepository to be more central. (Robert Collins)
4053
* ``bzrlib.add.smart_add_tree`` will no longer perform glob expansion on
4054
win32. Callers of the function should do this and use the new
4055
``MutableTree.smart_add`` method instead. (Robert Collins)
4057
* ``bzrlib.add.glob_expand_for_win32`` is now
4058
``bzrlib.win32utils.glob_expand``. (Robert Collins)
4060
* ``bzrlib.add.FastPath`` is now private and moved to
4061
``bzrlib.mutabletree._FastPath``. (Robert Collins, Martin Pool)
4063
* ``LockDir.wait`` removed. (Martin Pool)
4065
* The ``SmartServer`` hooks API has changed for the ``server_started`` and
4066
``server_stopped`` hooks. The first parameter is now an iterable of
4067
backing URLs rather than a single URL. This is to reflect that many
4068
URLs may map to the external URL of the server. E.g. the server interally
4069
may have a chrooted URL but also the local file:// URL will be at the
4070
same location. (Robert Collins)
4074
* New SMTPConnection class to unify email handling. (Adeodato Simó)
4076
* Fix documentation of BzrError. (Adeodato Simó)
4078
* Make BzrBadParameter an internal error. (Adeodato Simó)
4080
* Remove use of 'assert False' to raise an exception unconditionally.
4083
* Give a cleaner error when failing to decode knit index entry.
4086
* TreeConfig would mistakenly search the top level when asked for options
4087
from a section. It now respects the section argument and only
4088
searches the specified section. (James Westby)
4090
* Improve ``make api-docs`` output. (John Arbash Meinel)
4092
* Use os.lstat rather than os.stat for osutils.make_readonly and
4093
osutils.make_writeable. This makes the difftools plugin more
4094
robust when dangling symlinks are found. (Elliot Murphy)
4096
* New ``-Dlock`` option to log (to ~/.bzr.log) information on when
4097
lockdirs are taken or released. (Martin Pool)
4099
* ``bzrlib`` Hooks are now nameable using ``Hooks.name_hook``. This
4100
allows a nicer UI when hooks are running as the current hook can
4101
be displayed. (Robert Collins)
4103
* ``Transport.get`` has had its interface made more clear for ease of use.
4104
Retrieval of a directory must now fail with either 'PathError' at open
4105
time, or raise 'ReadError' on a read. (Robert Collins)
4107
* New method ``_maybe_expand_globs`` on the ``Command`` class for
4108
dealing with unexpanded glob lists - e.g. on the win32 platform. This
4109
was moved from ``bzrlib.add._prepare_file_list``. (Robert Collins)
4111
* ``bzrlib.add.smart_add`` and ``bzrlib.add.smart_add_tree`` are now
4112
deprecated in favour of ``MutableTree.smart_add``. (Robert Collins,
4115
* New method ``external_url`` on Transport for obtaining the url to
4116
hand to external processes. (Robert Collins)
4118
* Teach windows installers to build pyrex/C extensions.
4119
(Alexander Belchenko)
4123
* Removed the ``--keep-output`` option from selftest and clean up test
4124
directories as they're used. This reduces the IO load from
4125
running the test suite and cuts the time by about half.
4126
(Andrew Bennetts, Martin Pool)
4128
* Add scenarios as a public attribute on the TestAdapter classes to allow
4129
modification of the generated scenarios before adaption and easier
4130
testing. (Robert Collins)
4132
* New testing support class ``TestScenarioApplier`` which multiplies
4133
out a single teste by a list of supplied scenarios. (RobertCollins)
4135
* Setting ``repository_to_test_repository`` on a repository_implementations
4136
test will cause it to be called during repository creation, allowing the
4137
testing of repository classes which are not based around the Format
4138
concept. For example a repository adapter can be tested in this manner,
4139
by altering the repository scenarios to include a scenario that sets this
4140
attribute during the test parameterisation in
4141
``bzrlib.tests.repository.repository_implementations``. (Robert Collins)
4143
* Clean up many of the APIs for blackbox testing of Bazaar. The standard
4144
interface is now self.run_bzr. The command to run can be passed as
4145
either a list of parameters, a string containing the command line, or
4146
(deprecated) varargs parameters. (Martin Pool)
4148
* The base TestCase now isolates tests from -D parameters by clearing
4149
``debug.debug_flags`` and restores it afterwards. (Robert Collins)
4151
* Add a relpath parameter to get_transport methods in test framework to
4152
avoid useless cloning.
4153
(Vincent Ladeuil, #110448)
4157
--------------------
4161
* Fix crash of commit due to wrong lookup of filesystem encoding.
4162
(Colin Watson, #120647)
4164
* Revert logging just to stderr in commit as broke unicode filenames.
4165
(Aaron Bentley, Ian Clatworthy, #120930)
4168
bzr 0.17rc1 2007-06-12
4169
-----------------------
4171
NOTES WHEN UPGRADING:
4173
* The kind() and is_executable() APIs on the WorkingTree interface no
4174
longer implicitly (read) locks and unlocks the tree. This *might*
4175
impact some plug-ins and tools using this part of the API. If you find
4176
an issue that may be caused by this change, please let us know,
4177
particularly the plug-in/tool maintainer. If encountered, the API
4178
fix is to surround kind() and is_executable() calls with lock_read()
4179
and unlock() like so::
4181
work_tree.lock_read()
4183
kind = work_tree.kind(...)
4188
* Rework of LogFormatter API to provide beginning/end of log hooks and to
4189
encapsulate the details of the revision to be logged in a LogRevision
4191
In long log formats, merge revision ids are only shown when --show-ids
4192
is specified, and are labelled "revision-id:", as per mainline
4193
revisions, instead of "merged:". (Kent Gibson)
4195
* New ``BranchBuilder`` API which allows the construction of particular
4196
histories quickly. Useful for testing and potentially other applications
4197
too. (Robert Collins)
4201
* There are two new help topics, working-trees and repositories that
4202
attempt to explain these concepts. (James Westby, John Arbash Meinel,
4205
* Added ``bzr log --limit`` to report a limited number of revisions.
4206
(Kent Gibson, #3659)
4208
* Revert does not try to preserve file contents that were originally
4209
produced by reverting to a historical revision. (Aaron Bentley)
4211
* ``bzr log --short`` now includes ``[merge]`` for revisions which
4212
have more than one parent. This is a small improvement to help
4213
understanding what changes have occurred
4214
(John Arbash Meinel, #83887)
4216
* TreeTransform avoids many renames when contructing large trees,
4217
improving speed. 3.25x speedups have been observed for construction of
4218
kernel-sized-trees, and checkouts are 1.28x faster. (Aaron Bentley)
4220
* Commit on large trees is now faster. In my environment, a commit of
4221
a small change to the Mozilla tree (55k files) has dropped from
4222
66 seconds to 32 seconds. For a small tree of 600 files, commit of a
4223
small change is 33% faster. (Ian Clatworthy)
4225
* New --create-prefix option to bzr init, like for push. (Daniel Watkins,
4230
* ``bzr push`` should only connect to the remote location one time.
4231
We have been connecting 3 times because we forget to pass around
4232
the Transport object. This adds ``BzrDir.clone_on_transport()``, so
4233
that we can pass in the Transport that we already have.
4234
(John Arbash Meinel, #75721)
4236
* ``DirState.set_state_from_inventory()`` needs to properly order
4237
based on split paths, not just string paths.
4238
(John Arbash Meinel, #115947)
4240
* Let TestUIFactoy encode the password prompt with its own stdout.
4241
(Vincent Ladeuil, #110204)
4243
* pycurl should take use the range header that takes the range hint
4245
(Vincent Ladeuil, #112719)
4247
* WorkingTree4.get_file_sha1 no longer raises an exception when invoked
4248
on a missing file. (Aaron Bentley, #118186)
4250
* WorkingTree.remove works correctly with tree references, and when pwd is
4251
not the tree root. (Aaron Bentley)
4253
* Merge no longer fails when a file is renamed in one tree and deleted
4254
in the other. (Aaron Bentley, #110279)
4256
* ``revision-info`` now accepts dotted revnos, doesn't require a tree,
4257
and defaults to the last revision (Matthew Fuller, #90048)
4259
* Tests no longer fail when BZR_REMOTE_PATH is set in the environment.
4260
(Daniel Watkins, #111958)
4262
* ``bzr branch -r revid:foo`` can be used to branch any revision in
4263
your repository. (Previously Branch6 only supported revisions in your
4264
mainline). (John Arbash Meinel, #115343)
4267
--------------------
4271
* Handle when you have 2 directories with similar names, but one has a
4272
hyphen. (``'abc'`` versus ``'abc-2'``). The WT4._iter_changes
4273
iterator was using direct comparison and ``'abc/a'`` sorts after
4274
``'abc-2'``, but ``('abc', 'a')`` sorts before ``('abc-2',)``.
4275
(John Arbash Meinel, #111227)
4277
* Handle when someone renames a file on disk without telling bzr.
4278
Previously we would report the first file as missing, but not show
4279
the new unknown file. (John Arbash Meinel, #111288)
4281
* Avoid error when running hooks after pulling into or pushing from
4282
a branch bound to a smartserver branch. (Martin Pool, #111968)
4286
* Move developer documentation to doc/developers/. This reduces clutter in
4287
the root of the source tree and allows HACKING to be split into multiple
4288
files. (Robert Collins, Alexander Belchenko)
4290
* Clean up the ``WorkingTree4._iter_changes()`` internal loops as well as
4291
``DirState.update_entry()``. This optimizes the core logic for ``bzr
4292
diff`` and ``bzr status`` significantly improving the speed of
4293
both. (John Arbash Meinel)
4295
bzr 0.16rc2 2007-04-30
4296
-----------------------
4300
* Handle the case when you delete a file, and then rename another file
4301
on top of it. Also handle the case of ``bzr rm --keep foo``. ``bzr
4302
status`` should show the removed file and an unknown file in its
4303
place. (John Arbash Meinel, #109993)
4305
* Bundles properly read and write revision properties that have an
4306
empty value. And when the value is not ASCII.
4307
(John Arbash Meinel, #109613)
4309
* Fix the bzr commit message to be in text mode.
4310
(Alexander Belchenko, #110901)
4312
* Also handle when you rename a file and create a file where it used
4313
to be. (John Arbash Meinel, #110256)
4315
* ``WorkingTree4._iter_changes`` should not descend into unversioned
4316
directories. (John Arbash Meinel, #110399)
4318
bzr 0.16rc1 2007-04-26
4319
-----------------------
4321
NOTES WHEN UPGRADING:
4323
* ``bzr remove`` and ``bzr rm`` will now remove the working file, if
4324
it could be recovered again.
4325
This has been done for consistency with svn and the unix rm command.
4326
The old ``remove`` behaviour has been retained in the new option
4327
``bzr remove --keep``, which will just stop versioning the file,
4329
``bzr remove --force`` have been added which will always delete the
4331
``bzr remove`` is also more verbose.
4332
(Marius Kruger, #82602)
4336
* Merge directives can now be supplied as input to `merge` and `pull`,
4337
like bundles can. (Aaron Bentley)
4339
* Sending the SIGQUIT signal to bzr, which can be done on Unix by
4340
pressing Control-Backslash, drops bzr into a debugger. Type ``'c'``
4341
to continue. This can be disabled by setting the environment variable
4342
``BZR_SIGQUIT_PDB=0``. (Martin Pool)
4344
* selftest now supports --list-only to list tests instead of running
4345
them. (Ian Clatworthy)
4347
* selftest now supports --exclude PATTERN (or -x PATTERN) to exclude
4348
tests with names that match that regular expression.
4349
(Ian Clatworthy, #102679)
4351
* selftest now supports --randomize SEED to run tests in a random order.
4352
SEED is typically the value 'now' meaning 'use the current time'.
4353
(Ian Clatworthy, #102686)
4355
* New option ``--fixes`` to commit, which stores bug fixing annotations as
4356
revision properties. Built-in support for Launchpad, Debian, Trac and
4357
Bugzilla bug trackers. (Jonathan Lange, James Henstridge, Robert Collins)
4359
* New API, ``bzrlib.bugtracker.tracker_registry``, for adding support for
4360
other bug trackers to ``fixes``. (Jonathan Lange, James Henstridge,
4363
* ``selftest`` has new short options ``-f`` and ``-1``. (Martin
4366
* ``bzrlib.tsort.MergeSorter`` optimizations. Change the inner loop
4367
into using local variables instead of going through ``self._var``.
4368
Improves the time to ``merge_sort`` a 10k revision graph by
4369
approximately 40% (~700->400ms). (John Arbash Meinel)
4371
* ``make docs`` now creates a man page at ``man1/bzr.1`` fixing bug 107388.
4374
* ``bzr help`` now provides cross references to other help topics using
4375
the _see_also facility on command classes. Likewise the bzr_man
4376
documentation, and the bzr.1 man page also include this information.
4379
* Tags are now included in logs, that use the long log formatter.
4380
(Erik Bågfors, Alexander Belchenko)
4382
* ``bzr help`` provides a clearer message when a help topic cannot be
4383
found. (Robert Collins, #107656)
4385
* ``bzr help`` now accepts optional prefixes for command help. The help
4386
for all commands can now be found at ``bzr help commands/COMMANDNAME``
4387
as well as ``bzr help COMMANDNAME`` (which only works for commands
4388
where the name is not the same as a more general help topic).
4391
* ``bzr help PLUGINNAME`` will now return the module docstring from the
4392
plugin PLUGINNAME. (Robert Collins, #50408)
4394
* New help topic ``urlspec`` which lists the availables transports.
4395
(Goffredo Baroncelli)
4397
* doc/server.txt updated to document the default bzr:// port
4398
and also update the blurb about the hpss' current status.
4399
(Robert Collins, #107125).
4401
* ``bzr serve`` now listens on interface 0.0.0.0 by default, making it
4402
serve out to the local LAN (and anyone in the world that can reach the
4403
machine running ``bzr serve``. (Robert Collins, #98918)
4405
* A new smart server protocol version has been added. It prefixes requests
4406
and responses with an explicit version identifier so that future protocol
4407
revisions can be dealt with gracefully. (Andrew Bennetts, Robert Collins)
4409
* The bzr protocol version 2 indicates success or failure in every response
4410
without depending on particular commands encoding that consistently,
4411
allowing future client refactorings to be much more robust about error
4412
handling. (Robert Collins, Martin Pool, Andrew Bennetts)
4414
* The smart protocol over HTTP client has been changed to always post to the
4415
same ``.bzr/smart`` URL under the original location when it can. This allows
4416
HTTP servers to only have to pass URLs ending in .bzr/smart to the smart
4417
server handler, and not arbitrary ``.bzr/*/smart`` URLs. (Andrew Bennetts)
4419
* digest authentication is now supported for proxies and HTTP by the urllib
4420
based http implementation. Tested against Apache 2.0.55 and Squid
4421
2.6.5. Basic and digest authentication are handled coherently for HTTP
4422
and proxy: if the user is provided in the url (bzr command line for HTTP,
4423
proxy environment variables for proxies), the password is prompted for
4424
(only once). If the password is provided, it is taken into account. Once
4425
the first authentication is successful, all further authentication
4426
roundtrips are avoided by preventively setting the right authentication
4432
* bzrlib API compatability with 0.8 has been dropped, cleaning up some
4433
code paths. (Robert Collins)
4435
* Change the format of chroot urls so that they can be safely manipulated
4436
by generic url utilities without causing the resulting urls to have
4437
escaped the chroot. A side effect of this is that creating a chroot
4438
requires an explicit action using a ChrootServer.
4439
(Robert Collins, Andrew Bennetts)
4441
* Deprecate ``Branch.get_root_id()`` because branches don't have root ids,
4442
rather than fixing bug #96847. (Aaron Bentley)
4444
* ``WorkingTree.apply_inventory_delta`` provides a better alternative to
4445
``WorkingTree._write_inventory``. (Aaron Bentley)
4447
* Convenience method ``TestCase.expectFailure`` ensures that known failures
4448
do not silently pass. (Aaron Bentley)
4450
* ``Transport.local_abspath`` now raises ``NotLocalUrl`` rather than
4451
``TransportNotPossible``. (Martin Pool, Ian Clatworthy)
4453
* New SmartServer hooks facility. There are two initial hooks documented
4454
in ``bzrlib.transport.smart.SmartServerHooks``. The two initial hooks allow
4455
plugins to execute code upon server startup and shutdown.
4458
* SmartServer in standalone mode will now close its listening socket
4459
when it stops, rather than waiting for garbage collection. This primarily
4460
fixes test suite hangs when a test tries to connect to a shutdown server.
4461
It may also help improve behaviour when dealing with a server running
4462
on a specific port (rather than dynamically assigned ports).
4465
* Move most SmartServer code into a new package, bzrlib/smart.
4466
bzrlib/transport/remote.py contains just the Transport classes that used
4467
to be in bzrlib/transport/smart.py. (Andrew Bennetts)
4469
* urllib http implementation avoid roundtrips associated with
4470
401 (and 407) errors once the authentication succeeds.
4473
* urlib http now supports querying the user for a proxy password if
4474
needed. Realm is shown in the prompt for both HTTP and proxy
4475
authentication when the user is required to type a password.
4478
* Renamed SmartTransport (and subclasses like SmartTCPTransport) to
4479
RemoteTransport (and subclasses to RemoteTCPTransport, etc). This is more
4480
consistent with its new home in ``bzrlib/transport/remote.py``, and because
4481
it's not really a "smart" transport, just one that does file operations
4482
via remote procedure calls. (Andrew Bennetts)
4484
* The ``lock_write`` method of ``LockableFiles``, ``Repository`` and
4485
``Branch`` now accept a ``token`` keyword argument, so that separate
4486
instances of those objects can share a lock if it has the right token.
4487
(Andrew Bennetts, Robert Collins)
4489
* New method ``get_branch_reference`` on ``BzrDir`` allows the detection of
4490
branch references - which the smart server component needs.
4492
* The Repository API ``make_working_trees`` is now permitted to return
4493
False when ``set_make_working_trees`` is not implemented - previously
4494
an unimplemented ``set_make_working_trees`` implied the result True
4495
from ``make_working_trees``. This has been changed to accomodate the
4496
smart server, where it does not make sense (at this point) to ever
4497
make working trees by default. (Robert Collins)
4499
* Command objects can now declare related help topics by having _see_also
4500
set to a list of related topic. (Robert Collins)
4502
* ``bzrlib.help`` now delegates to the Command class for Command specific
4503
help. (Robert Collins)
4505
* New class ``TransportListRegistry``, derived from the Registry class, which
4506
simplifies tracking the available Transports. (Goffredo Baroncelli)
4508
* New function ``Branch.get_revision_id_to_revno_map`` which will
4509
return a dictionary mapping revision ids to dotted revnos. Since
4510
dotted revnos are defined in the context of the branch tip, it makes
4511
sense to generate them from a ``Branch`` object.
4512
(John Arbash Meinel)
4514
* Fix the 'Unprintable error' message display to use the repr of the
4515
exception that prevented printing the error because the str value
4516
for it is often not useful in debugging (e.g. KeyError('foo') has a
4517
str() of 'foo' but a repr of 'KeyError('foo')' which is much more
4518
useful. (Robert Collins)
4520
* ``urlutils.normalize_url`` now unescapes unreserved characters, such as "~".
4525
* Don't fail bundle selftest if email has 'two' embedded.
4526
(Ian Clatworthy, #98510)
4528
* Remove ``--verbose`` from ``bzr bundle``. It didn't work anyway.
4529
(Robert Widhopf-Fenk, #98591)
4531
* Remove ``--basis`` from the checkout/branch commands - it didn't work
4532
properly and is no longer beneficial.
4533
(Robert Collins, #53675, #43486)
4535
* Don't produce encoding error when adding duplicate files.
4538
* Fix ``bzr log <file>`` so it only logs the revisions that changed
4539
the file, and does it faster.
4540
(Kent Gibson, John Arbash Meinel, #51980, #69477)
4542
* Fix ``InterDirstateTre._iter_changes`` to handle when we come across
4543
an empty versioned directory, which now has files in it.
4544
(John Arbash Meinel, #104257)
4546
* Teach ``common_ancestor`` to shortcut when the tip of one branch is
4547
inside the ancestry of the other. Saves a lot of graph processing
4548
(with an ancestry of 16k revisions, ``bzr merge ../already-merged``
4549
changes from 2m10s to 13s). (John Arbash Meinel, #103757)
4551
* Fix ``show_diff_trees`` to handle the case when a file is modified,
4552
and the containing directory is renamed. (The file path is different
4553
in this versus base, but it isn't marked as a rename).
4554
(John Arbash Meinel, #103870)
4556
* FTP now works even when the FTP server does not support atomic rename.
4557
(Aaron Bentley, #89436)
4559
* Correct handling in bundles and merge directives of timezones with
4560
that are not an integer number of hours offset from UTC. Always
4561
represent the epoch time in UTC to avoid problems with formatting
4562
earlier times on win32. (Martin Pool, Alexander Belchenko, John
4565
* Typo in the help for ``register-branch`` fixed. (Robert Collins, #96770)
4567
* "dirstate" and "dirstate-tags" formats now produce branches compatible
4568
with old versions of bzr. (Aaron Bentley, #107168))
4570
* Handle moving a directory when children have been added, removed,
4571
and renamed. (John Arbash Meinel, #105479)
4573
* Don't preventively use basic authentication for proxy before receiving a
4574
407 error. Otherwise people willing to use other authentication schemes
4575
may expose their password in the clear (or nearly). This add one
4576
roundtrip in case basic authentication should be used, but plug the
4580
* Handle http and proxy digest authentication.
4581
(Vincent Ladeuil, #94034).
4585
* Added ``bzrlib.strace.strace`` which will strace a single callable and
4586
return a StraceResult object which contains just the syscalls involved
4587
in running it. (Robert Collins)
4589
* New test method ``reduceLockdirTimeout`` to drop the default (ui-centric)
4590
default time down to one suitable for tests. (Andrew Bennetts)
4592
* Add new ``vfs_transport_factory`` attribute on tests which provides the
4593
common vfs backing for both the readonly and readwrite transports.
4594
This allows the RemoteObject tests to back onto local disk or memory,
4595
and use the existing ``transport_server`` attribute all tests know about
4596
to be the smart server transport. This in turn allows tests to
4597
differentiate between 'transport to access the branch', and
4598
'transport which is a VFS' - which matters in Remote* tests.
4599
(Robert Collins, Andrew Bennetts)
4601
* The ``make_branch_and_tree`` method for tests will now create a
4602
lightweight checkout for the tree if the ``vfs_transport_factory`` is not
4603
a LocalURLServer. (Robert Collins, Andrew Bennetts)
4605
* Branch implementation tests have been audited to ensure that all urls
4606
passed to Branch APIs use proper urls, except when local-disk paths
4607
are intended. This is so that tests correctly access the test transport
4608
which is often not equivalent to local disk in Remote* tests. As part
4609
of this many tests were adjusted to remove dependencies on local disk
4611
(Robert Collins, Andrew Bennetts)
4613
* Mark bzrlib.tests and bzrlib.tests.TestUtil as providing assertFOO helper
4614
functions by adding a ``__unittest`` global attribute. (Robert Collins,
4615
Andrew Bennetts, Martin Pool, Jonathan Lange)
4617
* Refactored proxy and authentication handling to simplify the
4618
implementation of new auth schemes for both http and proxy.
4626
* Handle incompatible repositories as a user issue when fetching.
4629
* Don't give a recommendation to upgrade when branching or
4630
checking out a branch that contains an old-format working tree.
4633
bzr 0.15rc3 2007-03-26
4634
-----------------------
4638
* A warning is now displayed when opening working trees in older
4639
formats, to encourage people to upgrade to WorkingTreeFormat4.
4644
* HTTP redirections are now taken into account when a branch (or a
4645
bundle) is accessed for the first time. A message is issued at each
4646
redirection to inform the user. In the past, http redirections were
4647
silently followed for each request which significantly degraded the
4648
performances. The http redirections are not followed anymore by
4649
default, instead a RedirectRequested exception is raised. For bzrlib
4650
users needing to follow http redirections anyway,
4651
``bzrlib.transport.do_catching_redirections`` provide an easy transition
4656
* Added ``ReadLock.temporary_write_lock()`` to allow upgrading an OS read
4657
lock to an OS write lock. Linux can do this without unlocking, Win32
4658
needs to unlock in between. (John Arbash Meinel)
4660
* New parameter ``recommend_upgrade`` to ``BzrDir.open_workingtree``
4661
to silence (when false) warnings about opening old formats.
4664
* Fix minor performance regression with bzr-0.15 on pre-dirstate
4665
trees. (We were reading the working inventory too many times).
4666
(John Arbash Meinel)
4668
* Remove ``Branch.get_transaction()`` in favour of a simple cache of
4669
``revision_history``. Branch subclasses should override
4670
``_gen_revision_history`` rather than ``revision_history`` to make use of
4671
this cache, and call ``_clear_revision_history_cache`` and
4672
``_cache_revision_history`` at appropriate times. (Andrew Bennetts)
4676
* Take ``smtp_server`` from user config into account.
4679
* Restore Unicode filename handling for versioned and unversioned files.
4680
(John Arbash Meinel, #92608)
4682
* Don't fail during ``bzr commit`` if a file is marked removed, and
4683
the containing directory is auto-removed. (John Arbash Meinel, #93681)
4685
* ``bzr status FILENAME`` failed on Windows because of an uncommon
4686
errno. (``ERROR_DIRECTORY == 267 != ENOTDIR``).
4687
(Wouter van Heyst, John Arbash Meinel, #90819)
4689
* ``bzr checkout source`` should create a local branch in the same
4690
format as source. (John Arbash Meinel, #93854)
4692
* ``bzr commit`` with a kind change was failing to update the
4693
last-changed-revision for directories. The
4694
InventoryDirectory._unchanged only looked at the ``parent_id`` and name,
4695
ignoring the fact that the kind could have changed, too.
4696
(John Arbash Meinel, #90111)
4698
* ``bzr mv dir/subdir other`` was incorrectly updating files inside
4699
the directory. So that there was a chance it would break commit,
4700
etc. (John Arbash Meinel, #94037)
4702
* Correctly handles mutiple permanent http redirections.
4705
bzr 0.15rc2 2007-03-14
4706
-----------------------
4708
NOTES WHEN UPGRADING:
4710
* Release 0.15rc2 of bzr changes the ``bzr init-repo`` command to
4711
default to ``--trees`` instead of ``--no-trees``.
4712
Existing shared repositories are not affected.
4716
* New ``merge-directive`` command to generate machine- and human-readable
4717
merge requests. (Aaron Bentley)
4719
* New ``submit:`` revision specifier makes it easy to diff against the
4720
common ancestor with the submit location (Aaron Bentley)
4722
* Added support for Putty's SSH implementation. (Dmitry Vasiliev)
4724
* Added ``bzr status --versioned`` to report only versioned files,
4725
not unknowns. (Kent Gibson)
4727
* Merge now autodetects the correct line-ending style for its conflict
4728
markers. (Aaron Bentley)
4732
* Refactored SSH vendor registration into SSHVendorManager class.
4737
* New ``--numbered-dirs`` option to ``bzr selftest`` to use
4738
numbered dirs for TestCaseInTempDir. This is default behavior
4739
on Windows. Anyone can force named dirs on Windows
4740
with ``--no-numbered-dirs``. (Alexander Belchenko)
4742
* Fix ``RevisionSpec_revid`` to handle the Unicode strings passed in
4743
from the command line. (Marien Zwart, #90501)
4745
* Fix ``TreeTransform._iter_changes`` when both the source and
4746
destination are missing. (Aaron Bentley, #88842)
4748
* Fix commit of merges with symlinks in dirstate trees.
4751
* Switch the ``bzr init-repo`` default from --no-trees to --trees.
4752
(Wouter van Heyst, #53483)
4755
bzr 0.15rc1 2007-03-07
4756
-----------------------
4760
* The default disk format has changed. Please run 'bzr upgrade' in your
4761
working trees to upgrade. This new default is compatible for network
4762
operations, but not for local operations. That is, if you have two
4763
versions of bzr installed locally, after upgrading you can only use the
4764
bzr 0.15 version. This new default does not enable tags or nested-trees
4765
as they are incompatible with bzr versions before 0.15 over the network.
4767
* For users of bzrlib: Two major changes have been made to the working tree
4768
api in bzrlib. The first is that many methods and attributes, including
4769
the inventory attribute, are no longer valid for use until one of
4770
``lock_read``/``lock_write``/``lock_tree_write`` has been called,
4771
and become invalid again after unlock is called. This has been done
4772
to improve performance and correctness as part of the dirstate
4774
(Robert Collins, John A Meinel, Martin Pool, and others).
4776
* For users of bzrlib: The attribute 'tree.inventory' should be considered
4777
readonly. Previously it was possible to directly alter this attribute, or
4778
its contents, and have the tree notice this. This has been made
4779
unsupported - it may work in some tree formats, but in the newer dirstate
4780
format such actions will have no effect and will be ignored, or even
4781
cause assertions. All operations possible can still be carried out by a
4782
combination of the tree API, and the bzrlib.transform API. (Robert
4783
Collins, John A Meinel, Martin Pool, and others).
4787
* Support for OS Windows 98. Also .bzr.log on any windows system
4788
saved in My Documents folder. (Alexander Belchenko)
4790
* ``bzr mv`` enhanced to support already moved files.
4791
In the past the mv command would have failed if the source file doesn't
4792
exist. In this situation ``bzr mv`` would now detect that the file has
4793
already moved and update the repository accordingly, if the target file
4795
A new option ``--after`` has been added so that if two files already
4796
exist, you could notify Bazaar that you have moved a (versioned) file
4797
and replaced it with another. Thus in this case ``bzr move --after``
4798
will only update the Bazaar identifier.
4799
(Steffen Eichenberg, Marius Kruger)
4801
* ``ls`` now works on treeless branches and remote branches.
4804
* ``bzr help global-options`` describes the global options.
4807
* ``bzr pull --overwrite`` will now correctly overwrite checkouts.
4810
* Files are now allowed to change kind (e.g. from file to symlink).
4811
Supported by ``commit``, ``revert`` and ``status``
4814
* ``inventory`` and ``unknowns`` hidden in favour of ``ls``
4817
* ``bzr help checkouts`` descibes what checkouts are and some possible
4818
uses of them. (James Westby, Aaron Bentley)
4820
* A new ``-d`` option to push, pull and merge overrides the default
4821
directory. (Martin Pool)
4823
* Branch format 6: smaller, and potentially faster than format 5. Supports
4824
``append_history_only`` mode, where the log view and revnos do not change,
4825
except by being added to. Stores policy settings in
4826
".bzr/branch/branch.conf".
4828
* ``append_only`` branches: Format 6 branches may be configured so that log
4829
view and revnos are always consistent. Either create the branch using
4830
"bzr init --append-revisions-only" or edit the config file as descriped
4831
in docs/configuration.txt.
4833
* rebind: Format 6 branches retain the last-used bind location, so if you
4834
"bzr unbind", you can "bzr bind" to bind to the previously-selected
4837
* Builtin tags support, created and deleted by the ``tag`` command and
4838
stored in the branch. Tags can be accessed with the revisionspec
4839
``-rtag:``, and listed with ``bzr tags``. Tags are not versioned
4840
at present. Tags require a network incompatible upgrade. To perform this
4841
upgrade, run ``bzr upgrade --dirstate-tags`` in your branch and
4842
repositories. (Martin Pool)
4844
* The ``bzr://`` transport now has a well-known port number, 4155,
4845
which it will use by default. (Andrew Bennetts, Martin Pool)
4847
* Bazaar now looks for user-installed plugins before looking for site-wide
4848
plugins. (Jonathan Lange)
4850
* ``bzr resolve`` now detects and marks resolved text conflicts.
4855
* Internally revision ids and file ids are now passed around as utf-8
4856
bytestrings, rather than treating them as Unicode strings. This has
4857
performance benefits for Knits, since we no longer need to decode the
4858
revision id for each line of content, nor for each entry in the index.
4859
This will also help with the future dirstate format.
4860
(John Arbash Meinel)
4862
* Reserved ids (any revision-id ending in a colon) are rejected by
4863
versionedfiles, repositories, branches, and working trees
4866
* Minor performance improvement by not creating a ProgressBar for
4867
every KnitIndex we create. (about 90ms for a bzr.dev tree)
4868
(John Arbash Meinel)
4870
* New easier to use Branch hooks facility. There are five initial hooks,
4871
all documented in bzrlib.branch.BranchHooks.__init__ - ``'set_rh'``,
4872
``'post_push'``, ``'post_pull'``, ``'post_commit'``,
4873
``'post_uncommit'``. These hooks fire after the matching operation
4874
on a branch has taken place, and were originally added for the
4875
branchrss plugin. (Robert Collins)
4877
* New method ``Branch.push()`` which should be used when pushing from a
4878
branch as it makes performance and policy decisions to match the UI
4879
level command ``push``. (Robert Collins).
4881
* Add a new method ``Tree.revision_tree`` which allows access to cached
4882
trees for arbitrary revisions. This allows the in development dirstate
4883
tree format to provide access to the callers to cached copies of
4884
inventory data which are cheaper to access than inventories from the
4886
(Robert Collins, Martin Pool)
4888
* New ``Branch.last_revision_info`` method, this is being done to allow
4889
optimization of requests for both the number of revisions and the last
4890
revision of a branch with smartservers and potentially future branch
4891
formats. (Wouter van Heyst, Robert Collins)
4893
* Allow ``'import bzrlib.plugins.NAME'`` to work when the plugin NAME has not
4894
yet been loaded by ``load_plugins()``. This allows plugins to depend on each
4895
other for code reuse without requiring users to perform file-renaming
4896
gymnastics. (Robert Collins)
4898
* New Repository method ``'gather_stats'`` for statistic data collection.
4899
This is expected to grow to cover a number of related uses mainly
4900
related to bzr info. (Robert Collins)
4902
* Log formatters are now managed with a registry.
4903
``log.register_formatter`` continues to work, but callers accessing
4904
the FORMATTERS dictionary directly will not.
4906
* Allow a start message to be passed to the ``edit_commit_message``
4907
function. This will be placed in the message offered to the user
4908
for editing above the separator. It allows a template commit message
4909
to be used more easily. (James Westby)
4911
* ``GPGStrategy.sign()`` will now raise ``BzrBadParameterUnicode`` if
4912
you pass a Unicode string rather than an 8-bit string. Callers need
4913
to be updated to encode first. (John Arbash Meinel)
4915
* Branch.push, pull, merge now return Result objects with information
4916
about what happened, rather than a scattering of various methods. These
4917
are also passed to the post hooks. (Martin Pool)
4919
* File formats and architecture is in place for managing a forest of trees
4920
in bzr, and splitting up existing trees into smaller subtrees, and
4921
finally joining trees to make a larger tree. This is the first iteration
4922
of this support, and the user-facing aspects still require substantial
4923
work. If you wish to experiment with it, use ``bzr upgrade
4924
--dirstate-with-subtree`` in your working trees and repositories.
4925
You can use the hidden commands ``split`` and ``join`` and to create
4926
and manipulate nested trees, but please consider using the nested-trees
4927
branch, which contains substantial UI improvements, instead.
4928
http://code.aaronbentley.com/bzr/bzrrepo/nested-trees/
4929
(Aaron Bentley, Martin Pool, Robert Collins).
4933
* ``bzr annotate`` now uses dotted revnos from the viewpoint of the
4934
branch, rather than the last changed revision of the file.
4935
(John Arbash Meinel, #82158)
4937
* Lock operations no longer hang if they encounter a permission problem.
4940
* ``bzr push`` can resume a push that was canceled before it finished.
4941
Also, it can push even if the target directory exists if you supply
4942
the ``--use-existing-dir`` flag.
4943
(John Arbash Meinel, #30576, #45504)
4945
* Fix http proxy authentication when user and an optional
4946
password appears in the ``*_proxy`` vars. (Vincent Ladeuil,
4949
* ``bzr log branch/file`` works for local treeless branches
4950
(Aaron Bentley, #84247)
4952
* Fix problem with UNC paths on Windows 98. (Alexander Belchenko, #84728)
4954
* Searching location of CA bundle for PyCurl in env variable
4955
(``CURL_CA_BUNDLE``), and on win32 along the PATH.
4956
(Alexander Belchenko, #82086)
4958
* ``bzr init`` works with unicode argument LOCATION.
4959
(Alexander Belchenko, #85599)
4961
* Raise ``DependencyNotPresent`` if pycurl do not support https.
4962
(Vincent Ladeuil, #85305)
4964
* Invalid proxy env variables should not cause a traceback.
4965
(Vincent Ladeuil, #87765)
4967
* Ignore patterns normalised to use '/' path separator.
4968
(Kent Gibson, #86451)
4970
* bzr rocks. It sure does! Fix case. (Vincent Ladeuil, #78026)
4972
* Fix bzrtools shelve command for removed lines beginning with "--"
4973
(Johan Dahlberg, #75577)
4977
* New ``--first`` option to ``bzr selftest`` to run specified tests
4978
before the rest of the suite. (Martin Pool)
4982
--------------------
4986
* ``bzr help global-options`` describes the global options. (Aaron Bentley)
4990
* Skip documentation generation tests if the tools to do so are not
4991
available. Fixes running selftest for installled copies of bzr.
4992
(John Arbash Meinel, #80330)
4994
* Fix the code that discovers whether bzr is being run from it's
4995
working tree to handle the case when it isn't but the directory
4996
it is in is below a repository. (James Westby, #77306)
4999
bzr 0.14rc1 2007-01-16
5000
-----------------------
5004
* New connection: ``bzr+http://`` which supports tunnelling the smart
5005
protocol over an HTTP connection. If writing is enabled on the bzr
5006
server, then you can write over the http connection.
5007
(Andrew Bennetts, John Arbash Meinel)
5009
* Aliases now support quotation marks, so they can contain whitespace
5012
* PyCurlTransport now use a single curl object. By specifying explicitly
5013
the 'Range' header, we avoid the need to use two different curl objects
5014
(and two connections to the same server). (Vincent Ladeuil)
5016
* ``bzr commit`` does not prompt for a message until it is very likely to
5017
succeed. (Aaron Bentley)
5019
* ``bzr conflicts`` now takes --text to list pathnames of text conflicts
5022
* Fix ``iter_lines_added_or_present_in_versions`` to use a set instead
5023
of a list while checking if a revision id was requested. Takes 10s
5024
off of the ``fileids_affected_by_revision_ids`` time, which is 10s
5025
of the ``bzr branch`` time. Also improve ``fileids_...`` time by
5026
filtering lines with a regex rather than multiple ``str.find()``
5027
calls. (saves another 300ms) (John Arbash Meinel)
5029
* Policy can be set for each configuration key. This allows keys to be
5030
inherited properly across configuration entries. For example, this
5031
should enable you to do::
5033
[/home/user/project]
5034
push_location = sftp://host/srv/project/
5035
push_location:policy = appendpath
5037
And then a branch like ``/home/user/project/mybranch`` should get an
5038
automatic push location of ``sftp://host/srv/project/mybranch``.
5041
* Added ``bzr status --short`` to make status report svn style flags
5042
for each file. For example::
5044
$ bzr status --short
5050
* 'bzr selftest --clean-output' allows easily clean temporary tests
5051
directories without running tests. (Alexander Belchenko)
5053
* ``bzr help hidden-commands`` lists all hidden commands. (Aaron Bentley)
5055
* ``bzr merge`` now has an option ``--pull`` to fall back to pull if
5056
local is fully merged into remote. (Jan Hudec)
5058
* ``bzr help formats`` describes available directory formats. (Aaron Bentley)
5062
* A few tweaks directly to ``fileids_affected_by_revision_ids`` to
5063
help speed up processing, as well allowing to extract unannotated
5064
lines. Between the two ``fileids_affected_by_revision_ids`` is
5065
improved by approx 10%. (John Arbash Meinel)
5067
* Change Revision serialization to only write out millisecond
5068
resolution. Rather than expecting floating point serialization to
5069
preserve more resolution than we need. (Henri Weichers, Martin Pool)
5071
* Test suite ends cleanly on Windows. (Vincent Ladeuil)
5073
* When ``encoding_type`` attribute of class Command is equal to 'exact',
5074
force sys.stdout to be a binary stream on Windows, and therefore
5075
keep exact line-endings (without LF -> CRLF conversion).
5076
(Alexander Belchenko)
5078
* Single-letter short options are no longer globally declared. (Martin
5081
* Before using detected user/terminal encoding bzr should check
5082
that Python has corresponding codec. (Alexander Belchenko)
5084
* Formats for end-user selection are provided via a FormatRegistry (Aaron Bentley)
5088
* ``bzr missing --verbose`` was showing adds/removals in the wrong
5089
direction. (John Arbash Meinel)
5091
* ``bzr annotate`` now defaults to showing dotted revnos for merged
5092
revisions. It cuts them off at a depth of 12 characters, but you can
5093
supply ``--long`` to see the full number. You can also use
5094
``--show-ids`` to display the original revision ids, rather than
5095
revision numbers and committer names. (John Arbash Meinel, #75637)
5097
* bzr now supports Win32 UNC path (e.g. ``\HOST\path``.
5098
(Alexander Belchenko, #57869)
5100
* Win32-specific: output of cat, bundle and diff commands don't mangle
5101
line-endings (Alexander Belchenko, #55276)
5103
* Replace broken fnmatch based ignore pattern matching with custom pattern
5105
(Kent Gibson, Jan Hudec #57637)
5107
* pycurl and urllib can detect short reads at different places. Update
5108
the test suite to test more cases. Also detect http error code 416
5109
which was raised for that specific bug. Also enhance the urllib
5110
robustness by detecting invalid ranges (and pycurl's one by detecting
5111
short reads during the initial GET). (Vincent Ladeuil, #73948)
5113
* The urllib connection sharing interacts badly with urllib2
5114
proxy setting (the connections didn't go thru the proxy
5115
anymore). Defining a proper ProxyHandler solves the
5116
problem. (Vincent Ladeuil, #74759)
5118
* Use urlutils to generate relative URLs, not osutils
5119
(Aaron Bentley, #76229)
5121
* ``bzr status`` in a readonly directory should work without giving
5122
lots of errors. (John Arbash Meinel, #76299)
5124
* Mention the revisionspec topic for the revision option help.
5125
(Wouter van Heyst, #31663)
5127
* Allow plugins import from zip archives.

5137
-----------------------
5141
* New command ``bzr remove-tree`` allows the removal of the working
5143
(Daniel Silverstone)
5145
* urllib uses shared keep-alive connections, so http
5146
operations are substantially faster.
5147
(Vincent Ladeuil, #53654)
5149
* ``bzr export`` allows an optional branch parameter, to export a bzr
5150
tree from some other url. For example:
5151
``bzr export bzr.tar.gz http://bazaar-vcs.org/bzr/bzr.dev``
5152
(Daniel Silverstone)
5154
* Added ``bzr help topics`` to the bzr help system. This gives a
5155
location for general information, outside of a specific command.
5156
This includes updates for ``bzr help revisionspec`` the first topic
5157
included. (Goffredo Baroncelli, John Arbash Meinel, #42714)
5159
* WSGI-compatible HTTP smart server. See ``doc/http_smart_server.txt``.
5162
* Knit files will now cache full texts only when the size of the
5163
deltas is as large as the size of the fulltext. (Or after 200
5164
deltas, whichever comes first). This has the most benefit on large
5165
files with small changes, such as the inventory for a large project.
5166
(eg For a project with 2500 files, and 7500 revisions, it changes
5167
the size of inventory.knit from 11MB to 5.4MB) (John Arbash Meinel)
5171
* New -D option given before the command line turns on debugging output
5172
for particular areas. -Derror shows tracebacks on all errors.
5175
* Clean up ``bzr selftest --benchmark bundle`` to correct an import,
5176
and remove benchmarks that take longer than 10min to run.
5177
(John Arbash Meinel)
5179
* Use ``time.time()`` instead of ``time.clock()`` to decide on
5180
progress throttling. Because ``time.clock()`` is actually CPU time,
5181
so over a high-latency connection, too many updates get throttled.
5182
(John Arbash Meinel)
5184
* ``MemoryTransport.list_dir()`` would strip the first character for
5185
files or directories in root directory. (John Arbash Meinel)
5187
* New method ``get_branch_reference`` on 'BzrDir' allows the detection of
5188
branch references - which the smart server component needs.
5190
* New ``ChrootTransportDecorator``, accessible via the ``chroot+`` url
5191
prefix. It disallows any access to locations above a set URL. (Andrew
5196
* Now ``_KnitIndex`` properly decode revision ids when loading index data.
5197
And optimize the knit index parsing code.
5198
(Dmitry Vasiliev, John Arbash Meinel)
5200
* ``bzrlib/bzrdir.py`` was directly referencing ``bzrlib.workingtree``,
5201
without importing it. This prevented ``bzr upgrade`` from working
5202
unless a plugin already imported ``bzrlib.workingtree``
5203
(John Arbash Meinel, #70716)
5205
* Suppress the traceback on invalid URLs (Vincent Ladeuil, #70803).
5207
* Give nicer error message when an http server returns a 403
5208
error code. (Vincent Ladeuil, #57644).
5210
* When a multi-range http GET request fails, try a single
5211
range one. If it fails too, forget about ranges. Remember that until
5212
the death of the transport and propagates that to the clones.
5213
(Vincent Ladeuil, #62276, #62029).
5215
* Handles user/passwords supplied in url from command
5216
line (for the urllib implementation). Don't request already
5217
known passwords (Vincent Ladeuil, #42383, #44647, #48527)
5219
* ``_KnitIndex.add_versions()`` dictionary compresses revision ids as they
5220
are added. This fixes bug where fetching remote revisions records
5221
them as full references rather than integers.
5222
(John Arbash Meinel, #64789)
5224
* ``bzr ignore`` strips trailing slashes in patterns.
5225
Also ``bzr ignore`` rejects absolute paths. (Kent Gibson, #4559)
5227
* ``bzr ignore`` takes multiple arguments. (Cheuksan Edward Wang, #29488)
5229
* mv correctly handles paths that traverse symlinks.
5230
(Aaron Bentley, #66964)
5232
* Give nicer looking error messages when failing to connect over ssh.
5233
(John Arbash Meinel, #49172)
5235
* Pushing to a remote branch does not currently update the remote working
5236
tree. After a remote push, ``bzr status`` and ``bzr diff`` on the remote
5237
machine now show that the working tree is out of date.
5238
(Cheuksan Edward Wang #48136)
5240
* Use patiencediff instead of difflib for determining deltas to insert
5241
into knits. This avoids the O(N^3) behavior of difflib. Patience
5242
diff should be O(N^2). (Cheuksan Edward Wang, #65714)
5244
* Running ``bzr log`` on nonexistent file gives an error instead of the
5245
entire log history. (Cheuksan Edward Wang #50793)
5247
* ``bzr cat`` can look up contents of removed or renamed files. If the
5248
pathname is ambiguous, i.e. the files in the old and new trees have
5249
different id's, the default is the file in the new tree. The user can
5250
use "--name-from-revision" to select the file in the old tree.
5251
(Cheuksan Edward Wang, #30190)
5255
* TestingHTTPRequestHandler really handles the Range header
5256
(previously it was ignoring it and returning the whole file,).
5259
--------------------
5263
* Clean up ``bzr selftest --benchmark bundle`` to correct an import,
5264
and remove benchmarks that take longer than 10min to run.
5265
(John Arbash Meinel)
5267
bzr 0.12rc1 2006-10-23
5268
-----------------------
5272
* ``bzr log`` now shows dotted-decimal revision numbers for all revisions,
5273
rather than just showing a decimal revision number for revisions on the
5274
mainline. These revision numbers are not yet accepted as input into bzr
5275
commands such as log, diff etc. (Robert Collins)
5277
* revisions can now be specified using dotted-decimal revision numbers.
5278
For instance, ``bzr diff -r 1.2.1..1.2.3``. (Robert Collins)
5280
* ``bzr help commands`` output is now shorter (Aaron Bentley)
5282
* ``bzr`` now uses lazy importing to reduce the startup time. This has
5283
a moderate effect on lots of actions, especially ones that have
5284
little to do. For example ``bzr rocks`` time is down to 116ms from
5285
283ms. (John Arbash Meinel)
5287
* New Registry class to provide name-to-object registry-like support,
5288
for example for schemes where plugins can register new classes to
5289
do certain tasks (e.g. log formatters). Also provides lazy registration
5290
to allow modules to be loaded on request.
5291
(John Arbash Meinel, Adeodato Simó)
5293
API INCOMPATABILITY:
5295
* LogFormatter subclasses show now expect the 'revno' parameter to
5296
show() to be a string rather than an int. (Robert Collins)
5300
* ``TestCase.run_bzr``, ``run_bzr_captured``, and ``run_bzr_subprocess``
5301
can take a ``working_dir='foo'`` parameter, which will change directory
5302
for the command. (John Arbash Meinel)
5304
* ``bzrlib.lazy_regex.lazy_compile`` can be used to create a proxy
5305
around a regex, which defers compilation until first use.
5306
(John Arbash Meinel)
5308
* ``TestCase.run_bzr_subprocess`` defaults to supplying the
5309
``--no-plugins`` parameter to ensure test reproducability, and avoid
5310
problems with system-wide installed plugins. (John Arbash Meinel)
5312
* Unique tree root ids are now supported. Newly created trees still
5313
use the common root id for compatibility with bzr versions before 0.12.
5316
* ``WorkingTree.set_root_id(None)`` is now deprecated. Please
5317
pass in ``inventory.ROOT_ID`` if you want the default root id value.
5318
(Robert Collins, John Arbash Meinel)
5320
* New method ``WorkingTree.flush()`` which will write the current memory
5321
inventory out to disk. At the same time, ``read_working_inventory`` will
5322
no longer trash the current tree inventory if it has been modified within
5323
the current lock, and the tree will now ``flush()`` automatically on
5324
``unlock()``. ``WorkingTree.set_root_id()`` has been updated to take
5325
advantage of this functionality. (Robert Collins, John Arbash Meinel)
5327
* ``bzrlib.tsort.merge_sorted`` now accepts ``generate_revnos``. This
5328
parameter will cause it to add another column to its output, which
5329
contains the dotted-decimal revno for each revision, as a tuple.
5332
* ``LogFormatter.show_merge`` is deprecated in favour of
5333
``LogFormatter.show_merge_revno``. (Robert Collins)
5337
* Avoid circular imports by creating a deprecated function for
5338
``bzrlib.tree.RevisionTree``. Callers should have been using
5339
``bzrlib.revisontree.RevisionTree`` anyway. (John Arbash Meinel,
5342
* Don't use ``socket.MSG_WAITALL`` as it doesn't exist on all
5343
platforms. (Martin Pool, #66356)
5345
* Don't require ``Content-Type`` in range responses. Assume they are a
5346
single range if ``Content-Type`` does not exist.
5347
(John Arbash Meinel, #62473)
5349
* bzr branch/pull no longer complain about progress bar cleanup when
5350
interrupted during fetch. (Aaron Bentley, #54000)
5352
* ``WorkingTree.set_parent_trees()`` uses the trees to directly write
5353
the basis inventory, rather than going through the repository. This
5354
allows us to have 1 inventory read, and 2 inventory writes when
5355
committing a new tree. (John Arbash Meinel)
5357
* When reverting, files that are not locally modified that do not exist
5358
in the target are deleted, not just unversioned (Aaron Bentley)
5360
* When trying to acquire a lock, don't fail immediately. Instead, try
5361
a few times (up to 1 hour) before timing out. Also, report why the
5362
lock is unavailable (John Arbash Meinel, #43521, #49556)
5364
* Leave HttpTransportBase daughter classes decides how they
5365
implement cloning. (Vincent Ladeuil, #61606)
5367
* diff3 does not indicate conflicts on clean merge. (Aaron Bentley)
5369
* If a commit fails, the commit message is stored in a file at the root of
5370
the tree for later commit. (Cheuksan Edward Wang, Stefan Metzmacher,
5375
* New test base class TestCaseWithMemoryTransport offers memory-only
5376
testing facilities: its not suitable for tests that need to mutate disk
5377
state, but most tests should not need that and should be converted to
5378
TestCaseWithMemoryTransport. (Robert Collins)
5380
* ``TestCase.make_branch_and_memory_tree`` now takes a format
5381
option to set the BzrDir, Repository and Branch formats of the
5382
created objects. (Robert Collins, John Arbash Meinel)
5385
--------------------
5387
* Smart server transport test failures on windows fixed. (Lukáš Lalinský).
5389
bzr 0.11rc2 2006-09-27
5390
-----------------------
5394
* Test suite hangs on windows fixed. (Andrew Bennets, Alexander Belchenko).
5396
* Commit performance regression fixed. (Aaron Bentley, Robert Collins, John
5399
bzr 0.11rc1 2006-09-25
5400
-----------------------
5404
* Knit files now wait to create their contents until the first data is
5405
added. The old code used to create an empty .knit and a .kndx with just
5406
the header. However, this caused a lot of extra round trips over sftp.
5407
This can change the time for ``bzr push`` to create a new remote branch
5408
from 160s down to 100s. This also affects ``bzr commit`` performance when
5409
adding new files, ``bzr commit`` on a new kernel-like tree drops from 50s
5410
down to 40s (John Arbash Meinel, #44692)
5412
* When an entire subtree has been deleted, commit will now report that
5413
just the top of the subtree has been deleted, rather than reporting
5414
all the individual items. (Robert Collins)
5416
* Commit performs one less XML parse. (Robert Collins)
5418
* ``bzr checkout`` now operates on readonly branches as well
5419
as readwrite branches. This fixes bug #39542. (Robert Collins)
5421
* ``bzr bind`` no longer synchronises history with the master branch.
5422
Binding should be followed by an update or push to synchronise the
5423
two branches. This is closely related to the fix for bug #39542.
5426
* ``bzrlib.lazy_import.lazy_import`` function to create on-demand
5427
objects. This allows all imports to stay at the global scope, but
5428
modules will not actually be imported if they are not used.
5429
(John Arbash Meinel)
5431
* Support ``bzr://`` and ``bzr+ssh://`` urls to work with the new RPC-based
5432
transport which will be used with the upcoming high-performance smart
5433
server. The new command ``bzr serve`` will invoke bzr in server mode,
5434
which processes these requests. (Andrew Bennetts, Robert Collins, Martin
5437
* New command ``bzr version-info`` which can be used to get a summary
5438
of the current state of the tree. This is especially useful as part
5439
of a build commands. See ``doc/version_info.txt`` for more information
5440
(John Arbash Meinel)
5444
* ``'bzr inventory [FILE...]'`` allows restricting the file list to a
5445
specific set of files. (John Arbash Meinel, #3631)
5447
* Don't abort when annotating empty files (John Arbash Meinel, #56814)
5449
* Add ``Stanza.to_unicode()`` which can be passed to another Stanza
5450
when nesting stanzas. Also, add ``read_stanza_unicode`` to handle when
5451
reading a nested Stanza. (John Arbash Meinel)
5453
* Transform._set_mode() needs to stat the right file.
5454
(John Arbash Meinel, #56549)
5456
* Raise WeaveFormatError rather than StopIteration when trying to read
5457
an empty Weave file. (John Arbash Meinel, #46871)
5459
* Don't access e.code for generic URLErrors, only HTTPErrors have .code.
5460
(Vincent Ladeuil, #59835)
5462
* Handle boundary="" lines properly to allow access through a Squid proxy.
5463
(John Arbash Meinel, #57723)
5465
* revert now removes newly-added directories (Aaron Bentley, #54172)
5467
* ``bzr upgrade sftp://`` shouldn't fail to upgrade v6 branches if there
5468
isn't a working tree. (David Allouche, #40679)
5470
* Give nicer error messages when a user supplies an invalid --revision
5471
parameter. (John Arbash Meinel, #55420)
5473
* Handle when LANG is not recognized by python. Emit a warning, but
5474
just revert to using 'ascii'. (John Arbash Meinel, #35392)
5476
* Don't use ``preexec_fn`` on win32, as it is not supported by subprocess.
5477
(John Arbash Meinel)
5479
* Skip specific tests when the dependencies aren't met. This includes
5480
some ``setup.py`` tests when ``python-dev`` is not available, and
5481
some tests that depend on paramiko. (John Arbash Meinel, Mattheiu Moy)
5483
* Fallback to Paramiko properly, if no ``ssh`` executable exists on
5484
the system. (Andrew Bennetts, John Arbash Meinel)
5486
* ``Branch.bind(other_branch)`` no longer takes a write lock on the
5487
other branch, and will not push or pull between the two branches.
5488
API users will need to perform a push or pull or update operation if they
5489
require branch synchronisation to take place. (Robert Collins, #47344)
5491
* When creating a tarball or zipfile export, export unicode names as utf-8
5492
paths. This may not work perfectly on all platforms, but has the best
5493
chance of working in the common case. (John Arbash Meinel, #56816)
5495
* When committing, only files that exist in working tree or basis tree
5496
may be specified (Aaron Bentley, #50793)
5500
* Fixes to run on Python 2.5 (Brian M. Carlson, Martin Pool, Marien Zwart)
5504
* TestCaseInTempDir now creates a separate directory for HOME, rather
5505
than having HOME set to the same location as the working directory.
5506
(John Arbash Meinel)
5508
* ``run_bzr_subprocess()`` can take an optional ``env_changes={}`` parameter,
5509
which will update os.environ inside the spawned child. It also can
5510
take a ``universal_newlines=True``, which helps when checking the output
5511
of the command. (John Arbash Meinel)
5513
* Refactor SFTP vendors to allow easier re-use when ssh is used.
5516
* ``Transport.list_dir()`` and ``Transport.iter_files_recursive()`` should always
5517
return urlescaped paths. This is now tested (there were bugs in a few
5518
of the transports) (Andrew Bennetts, David Allouche, John Arbash Meinel)
5520
* New utility function ``symbol_versioning.deprecation_string``. Returns the
5521
formatted string for a callable, deprecation format pair. (Robert Collins)
5523
* New TestCase helper applyDeprecated. This allows you to call a callable
5524
which is deprecated without it spewing to the screen, just by supplying
5525
the deprecation format string issued for it. (Robert Collins)
5527
* Transport.append and Transport.put have been deprecated in favor of
5528
``.append_bytes``, ``.append_file``, ``.put_bytes``, and
5529
``.put_file``. This removes the ambiguity in what type of object the
5530
functions take. ``Transport.non_atomic_put_{bytes,file}`` has also
5531
been added. Which works similarly to ``Transport.append()`` except for
5532
SFTP, it doesn't have a round trip when opening the file. Also, it
5533
provides functionality for creating a parent directory when trying
5534
to create a file, rather than raise NoSuchFile and forcing the
5535
caller to repeat their request.
5536
(John Arbash Meinel)
5538
* WorkingTree has a new api ``unversion`` which allow the unversioning of
5539
entries by their file id. (Robert Collins)
5541
* ``WorkingTree.pending_merges`` is deprecated. Please use the
5542
``get_parent_ids`` (introduced in 0.10) method instead. (Robert Collins)
5544
* WorkingTree has a new ``lock_tree_write`` method which locks the branch for
5545
read rather than write. This is appropriate for actions which only need
5546
the branch data for reference rather than mutation. A new decorator
5547
``needs_tree_write_lock`` is provided in the workingtree module. Like the
5548
``needs_read_lock`` and ``needs_write_lock`` decorators this allows static
5549
declaration of the locking requirements of a function to ensure that
5550
a lock is taken out for casual scripts. (Robert Collins, #54107)
5552
* All WorkingTree methods which write to the tree, but not to the branch
5553
have been converted to use ``needs_tree_write_lock`` rather than
5554
``needs_write_lock``. Also converted is the revert, conflicts and tree
5555
transform modules. This provides a modest performance improvement on
5556
metadir style trees, due to the reduce lock-acquisition, and a more
5557
significant performance improvement on lightweight checkouts from
5558
remote branches, where trivial operations used to pay a significant
5559
penalty. It also provides the basis for allowing readonly checkouts.
5562
* Special case importing the standard library 'copy' module. This shaves
5563
off 40ms of startup time, while retaining compatibility. See:
5564
``bzrlib/inspect_for_copy.py`` for more details. (John Arbash Meinel)
5566
* WorkingTree has a new parent class MutableTree which represents the
5567
specialisations of Tree which are able to be altered. (Robert Collins)
5569
* New methods mkdir and ``put_file_bytes_non_atomic`` on MutableTree that
5570
mutate the tree and its contents. (Robert Collins)
5572
* Transport behaviour at the root of the URL is now defined and tested.
5573
(Andrew Bennetts, Robert Collins)
5577
* New test helper classs MemoryTree. This is typically accessed via
5578
``self.make_branch_and_memory_tree()`` in test cases. (Robert Collins)
5580
* Add ``start_bzr_subprocess`` and ``stop_bzr_subprocess`` to allow test
5581
code to continue running concurrently with a subprocess of bzr.
5582
(Andrew Bennetts, Robert Collins)
5584
* Add a new method ``Transport.get_smart_client()``. This is provided to
5585
allow upgrades to a richer interface than the VFS one provided by
5586
Transport. (Andrew Bennetts, Martin Pool)
5589
--------------------
5592
* 'merge' now takes --uncommitted, to apply uncommitted changes from a
5593
tree. (Aaron Bentley)
5595
* 'bzr add --file-ids-from' can be used to specify another path to use
5596
for creating file ids, rather than generating all new ones. Internally,
5597
the 'action' passed to ``smart_add_tree()`` can return ``file_ids`` that
5598
will be used, rather than having bzrlib generate new ones.
5599
(John Arbash Meinel, #55781)
5601
* ``bzr selftest --benchmark`` now allows a ``--cache-dir`` parameter.
5602
This will cache some of the intermediate trees, and decrease the
5603
setup time for benchmark tests. (John Arbash Meinel)
5605
* Inverse forms are provided for all boolean options. For example,
5606
--strict has --no-strict, --no-recurse has --recurse (Aaron Bentley)
5608
* Serialize out Inventories directly, rather than using ElementTree.
5609
Writing out a kernel sized inventory drops from 2s down to ~350ms.
5610
(Robert Collins, John Arbash Meinel)
5614
* Help diffutils 2.8.4 get along with binary tests (Marien Zwart: #57614)
5616
* Change LockDir so that if the lock directory doesn't exist when
5617
``lock_write()`` is called, an attempt will be made to create it.
5618
(John Arbash Meinel, #56974)
5620
* ``bzr uncommit`` preserves pending merges. (John Arbash Meinel, #57660)
5622
* Active FTP transport now works as intended. (ghozzy, #56472)
5624
* Really fix mutter() so that it won't ever raise a UnicodeError.
5625
It means it is possible for ~/.bzr.log to contain non UTF-8 characters.
5626
But it is a debugging log, not a real user file.
5627
(John Arbash Meinel, #56947, #53880)
5629
* Change Command handle to allow Unicode command and options.
5630
At present we cannot register Unicode command names, so we will get
5631
BzrCommandError('unknown command'), or BzrCommandError('unknown option')
5632
But that is better than a UnicodeError + a traceback.
5633
(John Arbash Meinel, #57123)
5635
* Handle TZ=UTC properly when reading/writing revisions.
5636
(John Arbash Meinel, #55783, #56290)
5638
* Use ``GPG_TTY`` to allow gpg --cl to work with gpg-agent in a pipeline,
5639
(passing text to sign in on stdin). (John Arbash Meinel, #54468)
5641
* External diff does the right thing for binaries even in foreign
5642
languages. (John Arbash Meinel, #56307)
5644
* Testament handles more cases when content is unicode. Specific bug was
5645
in handling of revision properties.
5646
(John Arbash Meinel, Holger Krekel, #54723)
5648
* The bzr selftest was failing on installed versions due to a bug in a new
5649
test helper. (John Arbash Meinel, Robert Collins, #58057)
5653
* ``bzrlib.cache_utf8`` contains ``encode()`` and ``decode()`` functions
5654
which can be used to cache the conversion between utf8 and Unicode.
5655
Especially helpful for some of the knit annotation code, which has to
5656
convert revision ids to utf8 to annotate lines in storage.
5657
(John Arbash Meinel)
5659
* ``setup.py`` now searches the filesystem to find all packages which
5660
need to be installed. This should help make the life of packagers
5661
easier. (John Arbash Meinel)
5663
bzr 0.9.0 2006-08-11
5664
---------------------
5668
* The hard-coded built-in ignore rules have been removed. There are
5669
now two rulesets which are enforced. A user global one in
5670
``~/.bazaar/ignore`` which will apply to every tree, and the tree
5671
specific one '.bzrignore'.
5672
``~/.bazaar/ignore`` will be created if it does not exist, but with
5673
a more conservative list than the old default.
5674
This fixes bugs with default rules being enforced no matter what.
5675
The old list of ignore rules from bzr is available by
5676
running 'bzr ignore --old-default-rules'.
5677
(Robert Collins, Martin Pool, John Arbash Meinel)
5679
* 'branches.conf' has been changed to 'locations.conf', since it can apply
5680
to more locations than just branch locations.
5685
* The revision specifier "revno:" is extended to accept the syntax
5686
revno:N:branch. For example,
5687
revno:42:http://bazaar-vcs.org/bzr/bzr.dev/ means revision 42 in
5688
bzr.dev. (Matthieu Moy)
5690
* Tests updates to ensure proper URL handling, UNICODE support, and
5691
proper printing when the user's terminal encoding cannot display
5692
the path of a file that has been versioned.
5693
``bzr branch`` can take a target URL rather than only a local directory.
5694
``Branch.get_parent()/set_parent()`` now save a relative path if possible,
5695
and normalize the parent based on root, allowing access across
5696
different transports. (John Arbash Meinel, Wouter van Heyst, Martin Pool)
5697
(Malone #48906, #42699, #40675, #5281, #3980, #36363, #43689,
5700
* On Unix, detect terminal width using an ioctl not just $COLUMNS.
5701
Use terminal width for single-line logs from ``bzr log --line`` and
5702
pending-merge display. (Robert Widhopf-Fenk, Gustavo Niemeyer)
5705
* On Windows, detect terminal width using GetConsoleScreenBufferInfo.
5706
(Alexander Belchenko)
5708
* Speedup improvement for 'date:'-revision search. (Guillaume Pinot).
5710
* Show the correct number of revisions pushed when pushing a new branch.
5713
* 'bzr selftest' now shows a progress bar with the number of tests, and
5714
progress made. 'make check' shows tests in -v mode, to be more useful
5715
for the PQM status window. (Robert Collins).
5716
When using a progress bar, failed tests are printed out, rather than
5717
being overwritten by the progress bar until the suite finishes.
5718
(John Arbash Meinel)
5720
* 'bzr selftest --benchmark' will run a new benchmarking selftest.
5721
'bzr selftest --benchmark --lsprof-timed' will use lsprofile to generate
5722
profile data for the individual profiled calls, allowing for fine
5723
grained analysis of performance.
5724
(Robert Collins, Martin Pool).
5726
* 'bzr commit' shows a progress bar. This is useful for commits over sftp
5727
where commit can take an appreciable time. (Robert Collins)
5729
* 'bzr add' is now less verbose in telling you what ignore globs were
5730
matched by files being ignored. Instead it just tells you how many
5731
were ignored (because you might reasonably be expecting none to be
5732
ignored). 'bzr add -v' is unchanged and will report every ignored
5733
file. (Robert Collins).
5735
* ftp now has a test server if medusa is installed. As part of testing,
5736
ftp support has been improved, including support for supplying a
5737
non-standard port. (John Arbash Meinel).
5739
* 'bzr log --line' shows the revision number, and uses only the
5740
first line of the log message (#5162, Alexander Belchenko;
5743
* 'bzr status' has had the --all option removed. The 'bzr ls' command
5744
should be used to retrieve all versioned files. (Robert Collins)
5746
* 'bzr bundle OTHER/BRANCH' will create a bundle which can be sent
5747
over email, and applied on the other end, while maintaining ancestry.
5748
This bundle can be applied with either 'bzr merge' or 'bzr pull',
5749
the same way you would apply another branch.
5750
(John Arbash Meinel, Aaron Bentley)
5752
* 'bzr whoami' can now be used to set your identity from the command line,
5753
for a branch or globally. (Robey Pointer)
5755
* 'bzr checkout' now aliased to 'bzr co', and 'bzr annotate' to 'bzr ann'.
5758
* 'bzr revert DIRECTORY' now reverts the contents of the directory as well.
5761
* 'bzr get sftp://foo' gives a better error when paramiko is not present.
5762
Also updates things like 'http+pycurl://' if pycurl is not present.
5763
(John Arbash Meinel) (Malone #47821, #52204)
5765
* New env variable ``BZR_PROGRESS_BAR``, sets the default progress bar type.
5766
Can be set to 'none' or 'dummy' to disable the progress bar, 'dots' or
5767
'tty' to create the respective type. (John Arbash Meinel, #42197, #51107)
5769
* Improve the help text for 'bzr diff' to explain what various options do.
5770
(John Arbash Meinel, #6391)
5772
* 'bzr uncommit -r 10' now uncommits revisions 11.. rather than uncommitting
5773
revision 10. This makes -r10 more in line with what other commands do.
5774
'bzr uncommit' also now saves the pending merges of the revisions that
5775
were removed. So it is safe to uncommit after a merge, fix something,
5776
and commit again. (John Arbash Meinel, #32526, #31426)
5778
* 'bzr init' now also works on remote locations.
5779
(Wouter van Heyst, #48904)
5781
* HTTP support has been updated. When using pycurl we now support
5782
connection keep-alive, which reduces dns requests and round trips.
5783
And for both urllib and pycurl we support multi-range requests,
5784
which decreases the number of round-trips. Performance results for
5785
``bzr branch http://bazaar-vcs.org/bzr/bzr.dev/`` indicate
5786
http branching is now 2-3x faster, and ``bzr pull`` in an existing
5787
branch is as much as 4x faster.
5788
(Michael Ellerman, Johan Rydberg, John Arbash Meinel, #46768)
5790
* Performance improvements for sftp. Branching and pulling are now up to
5791
2x faster. Utilize paramiko.readv() support for async requests if it
5792
is available (paramiko > 1.6) (John Arbash Meinel)
5796
* Fix shadowed definition of TestLocationConfig that caused some
5798
(Erik Bågfors, Michael Ellerman, Martin Pool, #32587)
5800
* Fix unnecessary requirement of sign-my-commits that it be run from
5801
a working directory. (Martin Pool, Robert Collins)
5803
* 'bzr push location' will only remember the push location if it succeeds
5804
in connecting to the remote location. (John Arbash Meinel, #49742)
5806
* 'bzr revert' no longer toggles the executable bit on win32
5807
(John Arbash Meinel, #45010)
5809
* Handle broken pipe under win32 correctly. (John Arbash Meinel)
5811
* sftp tests now work correctly on win32 if you have a newer paramiko
5812
(John Arbash Meinel)
5814
* Cleanup win32 test suite, and general cleanup of places where
5815
file handles were being held open. (John Arbash Meinel)
5817
* When specifying filenames for 'diff -r x..y', the name of the file in the
5818
working directory can be used, even if its name is different in both x
5821
* File-ids containing single- or double-quotes are handled correctly by
5822
push. (Aaron Bentley, #52227)
5824
* Normalize unicode filenames to ensure cross-platform consistency.
5825
(John Arbash Meinel, #43689)
5827
* The argument parser can now handle '-' as an argument. Currently
5828
no code interprets it specially (it is mostly handled as a file named
5829
'-'). But plugins, and future operations can use it.
5830
(John Arbash meinel, #50984)
5832
* Bundles can properly read binary files with a plain '\r' in them.
5833
(John Arbash Meinel, #51927)
5835
* Tuning ``iter_entries()`` to be more efficient (John Arbash Meinel, #5444)
5837
* Lots of win32 fixes (the test suite passes again).
5838
(John Arbash Meinel, #50155)
5840
* Handle openbsd returning None for sys.getfilesystemencoding() (#41183)
5842
* Support ftp APPE (append) to allow Knits to be used over ftp (#42592)
5844
* Removals are only committed if they match the filespec (or if there is
5845
no filespec). (#46635, Aaron Bentley)
5847
* smart-add recurses through all supplied directories
5848
(John Arbash Meinel, #52578)
5850
* Make the bundle reader extra lines before and after the bundle text.
5851
This allows you to parse an email with the bundle inline.
5852
(John Arbash Meinel, #49182)
5854
* Change the file id generator to squash a little bit more. Helps when
5855
working with long filenames on windows. (Also helps for unicode filenames
5856
not generating hidden files). (John Arbash Meinel, #43801)
5858
* Restore terminal mode on C-c while reading sftp password. (#48923,
5859
Nicholas Allen, Martin Pool)
5861
* Timestamps are rounded to 1ms, and revision entries can be recreated
5862
exactly. (John Arbash Meinel, Jamie Wilkinson, #40693)
5864
* Branch.base has changed to a URL, but ~/.bazaar/locations.conf should
5865
use local paths, since it is user visible (John Arbash Meinel, #53653)
5867
* ``bzr status foo`` when foo was unversioned used to cause a full delta
5868
to be generated (John Arbash Meinel, #53638)
5870
* When reading revision properties, an empty value should be considered
5871
the empty string, not None (John Arbash Meinel, #47782)
5873
* ``bzr diff --diff-options`` can now handle binary files being changed.
5874
Also, the output is consistent when --diff-options is not supplied.
5875
(John Arbash Meinel, #54651, #52930)
5877
* Use the right suffixes for loading plugins (John Arbash Meinel, #51810)
5879
* Fix ``Branch.get_parent()`` to handle the case when the parent is not
5880
accessible (John Arbash Meinel, #52976)
5884
* Combine the ignore rules into a single regex rather than looping over
5885
them to reduce the threshold where N^2 behaviour occurs in operations
5886
like status. (Jan Hudec, Robert Collins).
5888
* Appending to ``bzrlib.DEFAULT_IGNORE`` is now deprecated. Instead, use
5889
one of the add functions in bzrlib.ignores. (John Arbash Meinel)
5891
* 'bzr push' should only push the ancestry of the current revision, not
5892
all of the history in the repository. This is especially important for
5893
shared repositories. (John Arbash Meinel)
5895
* ``bzrlib.delta.compare_trees`` now iterates in alphabetically sorted order,
5896
rather than randomly walking the inventories. (John Arbash Meinel)
5898
* Doctests are now run in temporary directories which are cleaned up when
5899
they finish, rather than using special ScratchDir/ScratchBranch objects.
5902
* Split ``check`` into separate methods on the branch and on the repository,
5903
so that it can be specialized in ways that are useful or efficient for
5904
different formats. (Martin Pool, Robert Collins)
5906
* Deprecate ``Repository.all_revision_ids``; most methods don't really need
5907
the global revision graph but only that part leading up to a particular
5908
revision. (Martin Pool, Robert Collins)
5910
* Add a BzrDirFormat ``control_formats`` list which allows for control formats
5911
that do not use '.bzr' to store their data - i.e. '.svn', '.hg' etc.
5912
(Robert Collins, Jelmer Vernooij).
5914
* ``bzrlib.diff.external_diff`` can be redirected to any file-like object.
5915
Uses subprocess instead of spawnvp.
5916
(James Henstridge, John Arbash Meinel, #4047, #48914)
5918
* New command line option '--profile-imports', which will install a custom
5919
importer to log time to import modules and regex compilation time to
5920
sys.stderr (John Arbash Meinel)
5922
* 'EmptyTree' is now deprecated, please use ``repository.revision_tree(None)``
5923
instead. (Robert Collins)
5925
* "RevisionTree" is now in bzrlib/revisiontree.py. (Robert Collins)
5927
bzr 0.8.2 2006-05-17
5928
---------------------
5932
* setup.py failed to install launchpad plugin. (Martin Pool)
5934
bzr 0.8.1 2006-05-16
5935
---------------------
5939
* Fix failure to commit a merge in a checkout. (Martin Pool,
5940
Robert Collins, Erik Bågfors, #43959)
5942
* Nicer messages from 'commit' in the case of renames, and correct
5943
messages when a merge has occured. (Robert Collins, Martin Pool)
5945
* Separate functionality from assert statements as they are skipped in
5946
optimized mode of python. Add the same check to pending merges.
5947
(Olaf Conradi, #44443)
5951
* Do not show the None revision in output of bzr ancestry. (Olaf Conradi)
5953
* Add info on standalone branches without a working tree.
5954
(Olaf Conradi, #44155)
5956
* Fix bug in knits when raising InvalidRevisionId. (Olaf Conradi, #44284)
5960
* Make editor invocation comply with Debian Policy. First check
5961
environment variables VISUAL and EDITOR, then try editor from
5962
alternatives system. If that all fails, fall back to the pre-defined
5963
list of editors. (Olaf Conradi, #42904)
5967
* New 'register-branch' command registers a public branch into
5968
Launchpad.net, where it can be associated with bugs, etc.
5969
(Martin Pool, Bjorn Tillenius, Robert Collins)
5973
* New public api in InventoryEntry - ``describe_change(old, new)`` which
5974
provides a human description of the changes between two old and
5975
new. (Robert Collins, Martin Pool)
5979
* Fix test case for bzr info in upgrading a standalone branch to metadir,
5980
uses bzrlib api now. (Olaf Conradi)
5985
NOTES WHEN UPGRADING:
5987
Release 0.8 of bzr introduces a new format for history storage, called
5988
'knit', as an evolution of to the 'weave' format used in 0.7. Local
5989
and remote operations are faster using knits than weaves. Several
5990
operations including 'init', 'init-repo', and 'upgrade' take a
5991
--format option that controls this. Branching from an existing branch
5992
will keep the same format.
5994
It is possible to merge, pull and push between branches of different
5995
formats but this is slower than moving data between homogenous
5996
branches. It is therefore recommended (but not required) that you
5997
upgrade all branches for a project at the same time. Information on
5998
formats is shown by 'bzr info'.
6000
bzr 0.8 now allows creation of 'repositories', which hold the history
6001
of files and revisions for several branches. Previously bzr kept all
6002
the history for a branch within the .bzr directory at the root of the
6003
branch, and this is still the default. To create a repository, use
6004
the new 'bzr init-repo' command. Branches exist as directories under
6005
the repository and contain just a small amount of information
6006
indicating the current revision of the branch.
6008
bzr 0.8 also supports 'checkouts', which are similar to in cvs and
6009
subversion. Checkouts are associated with a branch (optionally in a
6010
repository), which contains all the historical information. The
6011
result is that a checkout can be deleted without losing any
6012
already-committed revisions. A new 'update' command is also available.
6014
Repositories and checkouts are not supported with the 0.7 storage
6015
format. To use them you must upgrad to either knits, or to the
6016
'metaweave' format, which uses weaves but changes the .bzr directory
6022
* Sftp paths can now be relative, or local, according to the lftp
6023
convention. Paths now take the form::
6025
sftp://user:pass@host:port/~/relative/path
6027
sftp://user:pass@host:port/absolute/path
6029
* The FTP transport now tries to reconnect after a temporary
6030
failure. ftp put is made atomic. (Matthieu Moy)
6032
* The FTP transport now maintains a pool of connections, and
6033
reuses them to avoid multiple connections to the same host (like
6034
sftp did). (Daniel Silverstone)
6036
* The ``bzr_man.py`` file has been removed. To create the man page now,
6037
use ``./generate_docs.py man``. The new program can also create other files.
6038
Run ``python generate_docs.py --help`` for usage information.
6039
(Hans Ulrich Niedermann & James Blackwell).
6041
* Man Page now gives full help (James Blackwell).
6042
Help also updated to reflect user config now being stored in .bazaar
6043
(Hans Ulrich Niedermann)
6045
* It's now possible to set aliases in bazaar.conf (Erik Bågfors)
6047
* Pull now accepts a --revision argument (Erik Bågfors)
6049
* ``bzr re-sign`` now allows multiple revisions to be supplied on the command
6050
line. You can now use the following command to sign all of your old
6053
find .bzr/revision-store// -name my@email-* \
6054
| sed 's/.*\/\/..\///' \
6057
* Upgrade can now upgrade over the network. (Robert Collins)
6059
* Two new commands 'bzr checkout' and 'bzr update' allow for CVS/SVN-alike
6060
behaviour. By default they will cache history in the checkout, but
6061
with --lightweight almost all data is kept in the master branch.
6064
* 'revert' unversions newly-versioned files, instead of deleting them.
6066
* 'merge' is more robust. Conflict messages have changed.
6068
* 'merge' and 'revert' no longer clobber existing files that end in '~' or
6071
* Default log format can be set in configuration and plugins can register
6072
their own formatters. (Erik Bågfors)
6074
* New 'reconcile' command will check branch consistency and repair indexes
6075
that can become out of sync in pre 0.8 formats. (Robert Collins,
6078
* New 'bzr init --format' and 'bzr upgrade --format' option to control
6079
what storage format is created or produced. (Robert Collins,
6082
* Add parent location to 'bzr info', if there is one. (Olaf Conradi)
6084
* New developer commands 'weave-list' and 'weave-join'. (Martin Pool)
6086
* New 'init-repository' command, plus support for repositories in 'init'
6087
and 'branch' (Aaron Bentley, Erik Bågfors, Robert Collins)
6089
* Improve output of 'info' command. Show all relevant locations related to
6090
working tree, branch and repository. Use kibibytes for binary quantities.
6091
Fix off-by-one error in missing revisions of working tree. Make 'info'
6092
work on branches, repositories and remote locations. Show locations
6093
relative to the shared repository, if applicable. Show locking status
6094
of locations. (Olaf Conradi)
6096
* Diff and merge now safely handle binary files. (Aaron Bentley)
6098
* 'pull' and 'push' now normalise the revision history, so that any two
6099
branches with the same tip revision will have the same output from 'log'.
6102
* 'merge' accepts --remember option to store parent location, like 'push'
6103
and 'pull'. (Olaf Conradi)
6105
* bzr status and diff when files given as arguments do not exist
6106
in the relevant trees. (Martin Pool, #3619)
6108
* Add '.hg' to the default ignore list. (Martin Pool)
6110
* 'knit' is now the default disk format. This improves disk performance and
6111
utilization, increases incremental pull performance, robustness with SFTP
6112
and allows checkouts over SFTP to perform acceptably.
6113
The initial Knit code was contributed by Johan Rydberg based on a
6114
specification by Martin Pool.
6115
(Robert Collins, Aaron Bentley, Johan Rydberg, Martin Pool).
6117
* New tool to generate all-in-one html version of the manual. (Alexander
6120
* Hitting CTRL-C while doing an SFTP push will no longer cause stale locks
6121
to be left in the SFTP repository. (Robert Collins, Martin Pool).
6123
* New option 'diff --prefix' to control how files are named in diff
6124
output, with shortcuts '-p0' and '-p1' corresponding to the options for
6125
GNU patch. (Alexander Belchenko, Goffredo Baroncelli, Martin Pool)
6127
* Add --revision option to 'annotate' command. (Olaf Conradi)
6129
* If bzr shows an unexpected revision-history after pulling (perhaps due
6130
to a reweave) it can now be corrected by 'bzr reconcile'.
6135
* Commit is now verbose by default, and shows changed filenames and the
6136
new revision number. (Robert Collins, Martin Pool)
6138
* Unify 'mv', 'move', 'rename'. (Matthew Fuller, #5379)
6140
* 'bzr -h' shows help. (Martin Pool, Ian Bicking, #35940)
6142
* Make 'pull' and 'push' remember location on failure using --remember.
6145
* For compatibility, make old format for using weaves inside metadir
6146
available as 'metaweave' format. Rename format 'metadir' to 'default'.
6147
Clean up help for option --format in commands 'init', 'init-repo' and
6148
'upgrade'. (Olaf Conradi)
6152
* The internal storage of history, and logical branch identity have now
6153
been split into Branch, and Repository. The common locking and file
6154
management routines are now in bzrlib.lockablefiles.
6155
(Aaron Bentley, Robert Collins, Martin Pool)
6157
* Transports can now raise DependencyNotPresent if they need a library
6158
which is not installed, and then another implementation will be
6159
tried. (Martin Pool)
6161
* Remove obsolete (and no-op) `decode` parameter to `Transport.get`.
6164
* Using Tree Transform for merge, revert, tree-building
6166
* WorkingTree.create, Branch.create, ``WorkingTree.create_standalone``,
6167
Branch.initialize are now deprecated. Please see ``BzrDir.create_*`` for
6168
replacement API's. (Robert Collins)
6170
* New BzrDir class represents the .bzr control directory and manages
6171
formatting issues. (Robert Collins)
6173
* New repository.InterRepository class encapsulates Repository to
6174
Repository actions and allows for clean selection of optimised code
6175
paths. (Robert Collins)
6177
* ``bzrlib.fetch.fetch`` and ``bzrlib.fetch.greedy_fetch`` are now
6178
deprecated, please use ``branch.fetch`` or ``repository.fetch``
6179
depending on your needs. (Robert Collins)
6181
* deprecated methods now have a ``is_deprecated`` flag on them that can
6182
be checked, if you need to determine whether a given callable is
6183
deprecated at runtime. (Robert Collins)
6185
* Progress bars are now nested - see
6186
``bzrlib.ui.ui_factory.nested_progress_bar``.
6187
(Robert Collins, Robey Pointer)
6189
* New API call ``get_format_description()`` for each type of format.
6192
* Changed ``branch.set_parent()`` to accept None to remove parent.
6195
* Deprecated BzrError AmbiguousBase. (Olaf Conradi)
6197
* WorkingTree.branch is now a read only property. (Robert Collins)
6199
* bzrlib.ui.text.TextUIFactory now accepts a ``bar_type`` parameter which
6200
can be None or a factory that will create a progress bar. This is
6201
useful for testing or for overriding the bzrlib.progress heuristic.
6204
* New API method ``get_physical_lock_status()`` to query locks present on a
6205
transport. (Olaf Conradi)
6207
* Repository.reconcile now takes a thorough keyword parameter to allow
6208
requesting an indepth reconciliation, rather than just a data-loss
6209
check. (Robert Collins)
6211
* ``bzrlib.ui.ui_factory protocol`` now supports ``get_boolean`` to prompt
6212
the user for yes/no style input. (Robert Collins)
6216
* SFTP tests now shortcut the SSH negotiation, reducing test overhead
6217
for testing SFTP protocol support. (Robey Pointer)
6219
* Branch formats are now tested once per implementation (see ``bzrlib.
6220
tests.branch_implementations``. This is analagous to the transport
6221
interface tests, and has been followed up with working tree,
6222
repository and BzrDir tests. (Robert Collins)
6224
* New test base class TestCaseWithTransport provides a transport aware
6225
test environment, useful for testing any transport-interface using
6226
code. The test suite option --transport controls the transport used
6227
by this class (when its not being used as part of implementation
6228
contract testing). (Robert Collins)
6230
* Close logging handler on disabling the test log. This will remove the
6231
handler from the internal list inside python's logging module,
6232
preventing shutdown from closing it twice. (Olaf Conradi)
6234
* Move test case for uncommit to blackbox tests. (Olaf Conradi)
6236
* ``run_bzr`` and ``run_bzr_captured`` now accept a 'stdin="foo"'
6237
parameter which will provide String("foo") to the command as its stdin.
6244
* .bzrignore is excluded from exports, on the grounds that it's a bzr
6245
internal-use file and may not be wanted. (Jamie Wilkinson)
6247
* The "bzr directories" command were removed in favor of the new
6248
--kind option to the "bzr inventory" command. To list all
6249
versioned directories, now use "bzr inventory --kind directory".
6252
* Under Windows configuration directory is now ``%APPDATA%\bazaar\2.0``
6253
by default. (John Arbash Meinel)
6255
* The parent of Bzr configuration directory can be set by ``BZR_HOME``
6256
environment variable. Now the path for it is searched in ``BZR_HOME``,
6257
then in HOME. Under Windows the order is: ``BZR_HOME``, ``APPDATA``
6258
(usually points to ``C:\Documents and Settings\User Name\Application Data``),
6259
``HOME``. (John Arbash Meinel)
6261
* Plugins with the same name in different directories in the bzr plugin
6262
path are no longer loaded: only the first successfully loaded one is
6263
used. (Robert Collins)
6265
* Use systems' external ssh command to open connections if possible.
6266
This gives better integration with user settings such as ProxyCommand.
6269
* Permissions on files underneath .bzr/ are inherited from the .bzr
6270
directory. So for a shared repository, simply doing 'chmod -R g+w .bzr/'
6271
will mean that future file will be created with group write permissions.
6273
* configure.in and config.guess are no longer in the builtin default
6276
* '.sw[nop]' pattern ignored, to ignore vim swap files for nameless
6277
files. (John Arbash Meinel, Martin Pool)
6281
* "bzr INIT dir" now initializes the specified directory, and creates
6282
it if it does not exist. (John Arbash Meinel)
6284
* New remerge command (Aaron Bentley)
6286
* Better zsh completion script. (Steve Borho)
6288
* 'bzr diff' now returns 1 when there are changes in the working
6289
tree. (Robert Collins)
6291
* 'bzr push' now exists and can push changes to a remote location.
6292
This uses the transport infrastructure, and can store the remote
6293
location in the ~/.bazaar/branches.conf configuration file.
6296
* Test directories are only kept if the test fails and the user requests
6299
* Tweaks to short log printing
6301
* Added branch nicks, new nick command, printing them in log output.
6304
* If ``$BZR_PDB`` is set, pop into the debugger when an uncaught exception
6305
occurs. (Martin Pool)
6307
* Accept 'bzr resolved' (an alias for 'bzr resolve'), as this is
6308
the same as Subversion. (Martin Pool)
6310
* New ftp transport support (on ftplib), for ftp:// and aftp://
6311
URLs. (Daniel Silverstone)
6313
* Commit editor temporary files now start with ``bzr_log.``, to allow
6314
text editors to match the file name and set up appropriate modes or
6315
settings. (Magnus Therning)
6317
* Improved performance when integrating changes from a remote weave.
6318
(Goffredo Baroncelli)
6320
* Sftp will attempt to cache the connection, so it is more likely that
6321
a connection will be reused, rather than requiring multiple password
6324
* bzr revno now takes an optional argument indicating the branch whose
6325
revno should be printed. (Michael Ellerman)
6327
* bzr cat defaults to printing the last version of the file.
6328
(Matthieu Moy, #3632)
6330
* New global option 'bzr --lsprof COMMAND' runs bzr under the lsprof
6331
profiler. (Denys Duchier)
6333
* Faster commits by reading only the headers of affected weave files.
6336
* 'bzr add' now takes a --dry-run parameter which shows you what would be
6337
added, but doesn't actually add anything. (Michael Ellerman)
6339
* 'bzr add' now lists how many files were ignored per glob. add --verbose
6340
lists the specific files. (Aaron Bentley)
6342
* 'bzr missing' now supports displaying changes in diverged trees and can
6343
be limited to show what either end of the comparison is missing.
6344
(Aaron Bently, with a little prompting from Daniel Silverstone)
6348
* SFTP can walk up to the root path without index errors. (Robert Collins)
6350
* Fix bugs in running bzr with 'python -O'. (Martin Pool)
6352
* Error when run with -OO
6354
* Fix bug in reporting http errors that don't have an http error code.
6357
* Handle more cases of pipe errors in display commands
6359
* Change status to 3 for all errors
6361
* Files that are added and unlinked before committing are completely
6362
ignored by diff and status
6364
* Stores with some compressed texts and some uncompressed texts are now
6365
able to be used. (John A Meinel)
6367
* Fix for bzr pull failing sometimes under windows
6369
* Fix for sftp transport under windows when using interactive auth
6371
* Show files which are both renamed and modified as such in 'bzr
6372
status' output. (Daniel Silverstone, #4503)
6374
* Make annotate cope better with revisions committed without a valid
6375
email address. (Marien Zwart)
6377
* Fix representation of tab characters in commit messages.
6380
* List of plugin directories in ``BZR_PLUGIN_PATH`` environment variable is
6381
now parsed properly under Windows. (Alexander Belchenko)
6383
* Show number of revisions pushed/pulled/merged. (Robey Pointer)
6385
* Keep a cached copy of the basis inventory to speed up operations
6386
that need to refer to it. (Johan Rydberg, Martin Pool)
6388
* Fix bugs in bzr status display of non-ascii characters.
6391
* Remove Makefile.in from default ignore list.
6392
(Tollef Fog Heen, Martin Pool, #6413)
6394
* Fix failure in 'bzr added'. (Nathan McCallum, Martin Pool)
6398
* Fix selftest asking for passwords when there are no SFTP keys.
6399
(Robey Pointer, Jelmer Vernooij)
6401
* Fix selftest run with 'python -O'. (Martin Pool)
6403
* Fix HTTP tests under Windows. (John Arbash Meinel)
6405
* Make tests work even if HOME is not set (Aaron Bentley)
6407
* Updated ``build_tree`` to use fixed line-endings for tests which read
6408
the file cotents and compare. Make some tests use this to pass under
6409
Windows. (John Arbash Meinel)
6411
* Skip stat and symlink tests under Windows. (Alexander Belchenko)
6413
* Delay in selftest/testhashcash is now issued under win32 and Cygwin.
6414
(John Arbash Meinel)
6416
* Use terminal width to align verbose test output. (Martin Pool)
6418
* Blackbox tests are maintained within the bzrlib.tests.blackbox directory.
6419
If adding a new test script please add that to
6420
``bzrlib.tests.blackbox.__init__``. (Robert Collins)
6422
* Much better error message if one of the test suites can't be
6423
imported. (Martin Pool)
6425
* Make check now runs the test suite twice - once with the default locale,
6426
and once with all locales forced to C, to expose bugs. This is not
6427
trivially done within python, so for now its only triggered by running
6428
Make check. Integrators and packagers who wish to check for full
6429
platform support should run 'make check' to test the source.
6432
* Tests can now run TestSkipped if they can't execute for any reason.
6433
(Martin Pool) (NB: TestSkipped should only be raised for correctable
6434
reasons - see the wiki spec ImprovingBzrTestSuite).
6436
* Test sftp with relative, absolute-in-homedir and absolute-not-in-homedir
6437
paths for the transport tests. Introduce blackbox remote sftp tests that
6438
test the same permutations. (Robert Collins, Robey Pointer)
6440
* Transport implementation tests are now independent of the local file
6441
system, which allows tests for esoteric transports, and for features
6442
not available in the local file system. They also repeat for variations
6443
on the URL scheme that can introduce issues in the transport code,
6444
see bzrlib.transport.TransportTestProviderAdapter() for this.
6447
* ``TestCase.build_tree`` uses the transport interface to build trees,
6448
pass in a transport parameter to give it an existing connection.
6453
* WorkingTree.pull has been split across Branch and WorkingTree,
6454
to allow Branch only pulls. (Robert Collins)
6456
* ``commands.display_command`` now returns the result of the decorated
6457
function. (Robert Collins)
6459
* LocationConfig now has a ``set_user_option(key, value)`` call to save
6460
a setting in its matching location section (a new one is created
6461
if needed). (Robert Collins)
6463
* Branch has two new methods, ``get_push_location`` and
6464
``set_push_location`` to respectively, get and set the push location.
6467
* ``commands.register_command`` now takes an optional flag to signal that
6468
the registrant is planning to decorate an existing command. When
6469
given multiple plugins registering a command is not an error, and
6470
the original command class (whether built in or a plugin based one) is
6471
returned to the caller. There is a new error 'MustUseDecorated' for
6472
signalling when a wrapping command should switch to the original
6473
version. (Robert Collins)
6475
* Some option parsing errors will raise 'BzrOptionError', allowing
6476
granular detection for decorating commands. (Robert Collins).
6478
* ``Branch.read_working_inventory`` has moved to
6479
``WorkingTree.read_working_inventory``. This necessitated changes to
6480
``Branch.get_root_id``, and a move of ``Branch.set_inventory`` to
6481
WorkingTree as well. To make it clear that a WorkingTree cannot always
6482
be obtained ``Branch.working_tree()`` will raise
6483
``errors.NoWorkingTree`` if one cannot be obtained. (Robert Collins)
6485
* All pending merges operations from Branch are now on WorkingTree.
6488
* The follow operations from Branch have moved to WorkingTree::
6498
* ``bzrlib.add.smart_add_branch`` is now ``smart_add_tree``. (Robert Collins)
6500
* New "rio" serialization format, similar to rfc-822. (Martin Pool)
6502
* Rename selftests to ``bzrlib.tests.test_foo``. (John A Meinel, Martin
6505
* ``bzrlib.plugin.all_plugins`` has been changed from an attribute to a
6506
query method. (Robert Collins)
6508
* New options to read only the table-of-contents of a weave.
6511
* Raise NoSuchFile when someone tries to add a non-existant file.
6514
* Simplify handling of DivergedBranches in ``cmd_pull()``.
6517
* Branch.controlfile* logic has moved to lockablefiles.LockableFiles, which
6518
is exposed as ``Branch().control_files``. Also this has been altered with the
6519
controlfile pre/suffix replaced by simple method names like 'get' and
6520
'put'. (Aaron Bentley, Robert Collins).
6522
* Deprecated functions and methods can now be marked as such using the
6523
``bzrlib.symbol_versioning`` module. Marked method have their docstring
6524
updated and will issue a DeprecationWarning using the warnings module
6525
when they are used. (Robert Collins)
6527
* ``bzrlib.osutils.safe_unicode`` now exists to provide parameter coercion
6528
for functions that need unicode strings. (Robert Collins)
6535
* pull now takes --verbose to show you what revisions are added or removed
6538
* merge now takes a --show-base option to include the base text in
6542
* The config files are now read using ConfigObj, so '=' should be used as
6543
a separator, not ':'.
6546
* New 'bzr commit --strict' option refuses to commit if there are
6547
any unknown files in the tree. To commit, make sure all files are
6548
either ignored, added, or deleted. (Michael Ellerman)
6550
* The config directory is now ~/.bazaar, and there is a single file
6551
~/.bazaar/bazaar.conf storing email, editor and other preferences.
6554
* 'bzr add' no longer takes a --verbose option, and a --quiet option
6555
has been added that suppresses all output.
6557
* Improved zsh completion support in contrib/zsh, from Clint
6560
* Builtin 'bzr annotate' command, by Martin Pool with improvements from
6561
Goffredo Baroncelli.
6563
* 'bzr check' now accepts -v for verbose reporting, and checks for
6564
ghosts in the branch. (Robert Collins)
6566
* New command 're-sign' which will regenerate the gpg signature for
6567
a revision. (Robert Collins)
6569
* If you set ``check_signatures=require`` for a path in
6570
``~/.bazaar/branches.conf`` then bzr will invoke your
6571
``gpg_signing_command`` (defaults to gpg) and record a digital signature
6572
of your commit. (Robert Collins)
6574
* New sftp transport, based on Paramiko. (Robey Pointer)
6576
* 'bzr pull' now accepts '--clobber' which will discard local changes
6577
and make this branch identical to the source branch. (Robert Collins)
6579
* Just give a quieter warning if a plugin can't be loaded, and
6580
put the details in .bzr.log. (Martin Pool)
6582
* 'bzr branch' will now set the branch-name to the last component of the
6583
output directory, if one was supplied.
6585
* If the option ``post_commit`` is set to one (or more) python function
6586
names (must be in the bzrlib namespace), then they will be invoked
6587
after the commit has completed, with the branch and ``revision_id`` as
6588
parameters. (Robert Collins)
6590
* Merge now has a retcode of 1 when conflicts occur. (Robert Collins)
6592
* --merge-type weave is now supported for file contents. Tree-shape
6593
changes are still three-way based. (Martin Pool, Aaron Bentley)
6595
* 'bzr check' allows the first revision on revision-history to have
6596
parents - something that is expected for cheap checkouts, and occurs
6597
when conversions from baz do not have all history. (Robert Collins).
6599
* 'bzr merge' can now graft unrelated trees together, if your specify
6600
0 as a base. (Aaron Bentley)
6602
* 'bzr commit branch' and 'bzr commit branch/file1 branch/file2' now work
6605
* Add '.sconsign*' to default ignore list. (Alexander Belchenko)
6607
* 'bzr merge --reprocess' minimizes conflicts
6611
* The 'bzr selftest --pattern' option for has been removed, now
6612
test specifiers on the command line can be simple strings, or
6613
regexps, or both. (Robert Collins)
6615
* Passing -v to selftest will now show the time each test took to
6616
complete, which will aid in analysing performance regressions and
6617
related questions. (Robert Collins)
6619
* 'bzr selftest' runs all tests, even if one fails, unless '--one'
6620
is given. (Martin Pool)
6622
* There is a new method for TestCaseInTempDir, assertFileEqual, which
6623
will check that a given content is equal to the content of the named
6624
file. (Robert Collins)
6626
* Fix test suite's habit of leaving many temporary log files in $TMPDIR.
6631
* New 'testament' command and concept for making gpg-signatures
6632
of revisions that are not tied to a particular internal
6633
representation. (Martin Pool).
6635
* Per-revision properties ('revprops') as key-value associated
6636
strings on each revision created when the revision is committed.
6637
Intended mainly for the use of external tools. (Martin Pool).
6639
* Config options have moved from bzrlib.osutils to bzrlib.config.
6642
* Improved command line option definitions allowing explanations
6643
for individual options, among other things. Contributed by
6646
* Config options have moved from bzrlib.osutils to bzrlib.config.
6647
Configuration is now done via the config.Config interface:
6648
Depending on whether you have a Branch, a Location or no information
6649
available, construct a ``*Config``, and use its ``signature_checking``,
6650
``username`` and ``user_email`` methods. (Robert Collins)
6652
* Plugins are now loaded under bzrlib.plugins, not bzrlib.plugin, and
6653
they are made available for other plugins to use. You should not
6654
import other plugins during the ``__init__`` of your plugin though, as
6655
no ordering is guaranteed, and the plugins directory is not on the
6656
python path. (Robert Collins)
6658
* Branch.relpath has been moved to WorkingTree.relpath. WorkingTree no
6659
no longer takes an inventory, rather it takes an option branch
6660
parameter, and if None is given will open the branch at basedir
6661
implicitly. (Robert Collins)
6663
* Cleaner exception structure and error reporting. Suggested by
6664
Scott James Remnant. (Martin Pool)
6666
* Branch.remove has been moved to WorkingTree, which has also gained
6667
``lock_read``, ``lock_write`` and ``unlock`` methods for convenience.
6670
* Two decorators, ``needs_read_lock`` and ``needs_write_lock`` have been
6671
added to the branch module. Use these to cause a function to run in a
6672
read or write lock respectively. (Robert Collins)
6674
* ``Branch.open_containing`` now returns a tuple (Branch, relative-path),
6675
which allows direct access to the common case of 'get me this file
6676
from its branch'. (Robert Collins)
6678
* Transports can register using ``register_lazy_transport``, and they
6679
will be loaded when first used. (Martin Pool)
6681
* 'pull' has been factored out of the command as ``WorkingTree.pull()``.
6682
A new option to WorkingTree.pull has been added, clobber, which will
6683
ignore diverged history and pull anyway.
6686
* config.Config has a ``get_user_option`` call that accepts an option name.
6687
This will be looked up in branches.conf and bazaar.conf as normal.
6688
It is intended that this be used by plugins to support options -
6689
options of built in programs should have specific methods on the config.
6692
* ``merge.merge_inner`` now has tempdir as an optional parameter.
6695
* Tree.kind is not recorded at the top level of the hierarchy, as it was
6696
missing on EmptyTree, leading to a bug with merge on EmptyTrees.
6699
* ``WorkingTree.__del__`` has been removed, it was non deterministic and not
6700
doing what it was intended to. See ``WorkingTree.__init__`` for a comment
6701
about future directions. (Robert Collins/Martin Pool)
6703
* bzrlib.transport.http has been modified so that only 404 urllib errors
6704
are returned as NoSuchFile. Other exceptions will propogate as normal.
6705
This allows debuging of actual errors. (Robert Collins)
6707
* bzrlib.transport.Transport now accepts *ONLY* url escaped relative paths
6708
to apis like 'put', 'get' and 'has'. This is to provide consistent
6709
behaviour - it operates on url's only. (Robert Collins)
6711
* Transports can register using ``register_lazy_transport``, and they
6712
will be loaded when first used. (Martin Pool)
6714
* ``merge_flex`` no longer calls ``conflict_handler.finalize()``, instead that
6715
is called by ``merge_inner``. This is so that the conflict count can be
6716
retrieved (and potentially manipulated) before returning to the caller
6717
of ``merge_inner``. Likewise 'merge' now returns the conflict count to the
6718
caller. (Robert Collins)
6720
* ``revision.revision_graph`` can handle having only partial history for
6721
a revision - that is no revisions in the graph with no parents.
6724
* New ``builtins.branch_files`` uses the standard ``file_list`` rules to
6725
produce a branch and a list of paths, relative to that branch
6728
* New TestCase.addCleanup facility.
6730
* New ``bzrlib.version_info`` tuple (similar to ``sys.version_info``),
6731
which can be used by programs importing bzrlib.
6735
* Better handling of branches in directories with non-ascii names.
6736
(Joel Rosdahl, Panagiotis Papadakos)
6738
* Upgrades of trees with no commits will not fail due to accessing
6739
[-1] in the revision-history. (Andres Salomon)
6742
bzr 0.1.1 2005-10-12
6743
--------------------
6747
* Fix problem in pulling over http from machines that do not
6748
allow directories to be listed.
6750
* Avoid harmless warning about invalid hash cache after
6751
upgrading branch format.
6755
* Avoid some unnecessary http operations in branch and pull.
6763
* 'bzr branch' over http initially gives a very high estimate
6764
of completion time but it should fall as the first few
6765
revisions are pulled in. branch is still slow on
6766
high-latency connections.
6770
* bzr-man.py has been updated to work again. Contributed by
6773
* Locking is now done with fcntl.lockf which works with NFS
6774
file systems. Contributed by Harald Meland.
6776
* When a merge encounters a file that has been deleted on
6777
one side and modified on the other, the old contents are
6778
written out to foo.BASE and foo.SIDE, where SIDE is this
6779
or OTHER. Contributed by Aaron Bentley.
6781
* Export was choosing incorrect file paths for the content of
6782
the tarball, this has been fixed by Aaron Bentley.
6784
* Commit will no longer commit without a log message, an
6785
error is returned instead. Contributed by Jelmer Vernooij.
6787
* If you commit a specific file in a sub directory, any of its
6788
parent directories that are added but not listed will be
6789
automatically included. Suggested by Michael Ellerman.
6791
* bzr commit and upgrade did not correctly record new revisions
6792
for files with only a change to their executable status.
6793
bzr will correct this when it encounters it. Fixed by
6796
* HTTP tests now force off the use of ``http_proxy`` for the duration.
6797
Contributed by Gustavo Niemeyer.
6799
* Fix problems in merging weave-based branches that have
6800
different partial views of history.
6802
* Symlink support: working with symlinks when not in the root of a
6803
bzr tree was broken, patch from Scott James Remnant.
6807
* 'branch' now accepts a --basis parameter which will take advantage
6808
of local history when making a new branch. This allows faster
6809
branching of remote branches. Contributed by Aaron Bentley.
6811
* New tree format based on weave files, called version 5.
6812
Existing branches can be upgraded to this format using
6815
* Symlinks are now versionable. Initial patch by
6816
Erik Toubro Nielsen, updated to head by Robert Collins.
6818
* Executable bits are tracked on files. Patch from Gustavo
6821
* 'bzr status' now shows unknown files inside a selected directory.
6822
Patch from Heikki Paajanen.
6824
* Merge conflicts are recorded in .bzr. Two new commands 'conflicts'
6825
and 'resolve' have needed added, which list and remove those
6826
merge conflicts respectively. A conflicted tree cannot be committed
6827
in. Contributed by Aaron Bentley.
6829
* 'rm' is now an alias for 'remove'.
6831
* Stores now split out their content in a single byte prefixed hash,
6832
dropping the density of files per directory by 256. Contributed by
6835
* 'bzr diff -r branch:URL' will now perform a diff between two branches.
6836
Contributed by Robert Collins.
6838
* 'bzr log' with the default formatter will show merged revisions,
6839
indented to the right. Initial implementation contributed by Gustavo
6840
Niemeyer, made incremental by Robert Collins.
6845
* Test case failures have the exception printed after the log
6846
for your viewing pleasure.
6848
* InventoryEntry is now an abstract base class, use one of the
6849
concrete InventoryDirectory etc classes instead.
6851
* Branch raises an UnsupportedFormatError when it detects a
6852
bzr branch it cannot understand. This allows for precise
6853
handling of such circumstances.
6855
* Remove RevisionReference class; ``Revision.parent_ids`` is now simply a
6856
list of their ids and ``parent_sha1s`` is a list of their corresponding
6857
sha1s (for old branches only at the moment.)
6859
* New method-object style interface for Commit() and Fetch().
6861
* Renamed ``Branch.last_patch()`` to ``Branch.last_revision()``, since
6862
we call them revisions not patches.
6864
* Move ``copy_branch`` to ``bzrlib.clone.copy_branch``. The destination
6865
directory is created if it doesn't exist.
6867
* Inventories now identify the files which were present by
6868
giving the revision *of that file*.
6870
* Inventory and Revision XML contains a version identifier.
6871
This must be consistent with the overall branch version
6872
but allows for more flexibility in future upgrades.
6876
* Removed testsweet module so that tests can be run after
6877
bzr installed by 'bzr selftest'.
6879
* 'bzr selftest' command-line arguments can now be partial ids
6880
of tests to run, e.g. ``bzr selftest test_weave``
6883
bzr 0.0.9 2005-09-23
6884
--------------------
6888
* Fixed "branch -r" option.
6890
* Fix remote access to branches containing non-compressed history.
6893
* Better reliability of http server tests. (John Arbash-Meinel)
6895
* Merge graph maximum distance calculation fix. (Aaron Bentley)
6897
* Various minor bug in windows support have been fixed, largely in the
6898
test suite. Contributed by Alexander Belchenko.
6902
* Status now accepts a -r argument to give status between chosen
6903
revisions. Contributed by Heikki Paajanen.
6905
* Revision arguments no longer use +/-/= to control ranges, instead
6906
there is a 'before' namespace, which limits the successive namespace.
6907
For example '$ bzr log -r date:yesterday..before:date:today' will
6908
select everything from yesterday and before today. Contributed by
6911
* There is now a bzr.bat file created by distutils when building on
6912
Windows. Contributed by Alexander Belchenko.
6916
* Removed uuid() as it was unused.
6918
* Improved 'fetch' code for pulling revisions from one branch into
6919
another (used by pull, merged, etc.)
6922
bzr 0.0.8 2005-09-20
6923
--------------------
6927
* Adding a file whose parent directory is not versioned will
6928
implicitly add the parent, and so on up to the root. This means
6929
you should never need to explictly add a directory, they'll just
6930
get added when you add a file in the directory. Contributed by
6933
* Ignore ``.DS_Store`` (contains Mac metadata) by default.
6936
* If you set ``BZR_EDITOR`` in the environment, it is checked in
6937
preference to EDITOR and the config file for the interactive commit
6938
editing program. Related to this is a bugfix where a missing program
6939
set in EDITOR would cause editing to fail, now the fallback program
6940
for the operating system is still tried.
6942
* Files that are not directories/symlinks/regular files will no longer
6943
cause bzr to fail, it will just ignore them by default. You cannot add
6944
them to the tree though - they are not versionable.
6949
* Refactor xml packing/unpacking.
6953
* Fixed 'bzr mv' by Ollie Rutherfurd.
6955
* Fixed strange error when trying to access a nonexistent http
6958
* Make sure that the hashcache gets written out if it can't be
6964
* Various Windows fixes from Ollie Rutherfurd.
6966
* Quieten warnings about locking; patch from Matt Lavin.
6969
bzr-0.0.7 2005-09-02
6970
--------------------
6974
* ``bzr shell-complete`` command contributed by Clint Adams to
6975
help with intelligent shell completion.
6977
* New expert command ``bzr find-merge-base`` for debugging merges.
6982
* Much better merge support.
6984
* merge3 conflicts are now reported with markers like '<<<<<<<'
6985
(seven characters) which is the same as CVS and pleases things
6991
* ``bzr upgrade`` no longer fails when trying to fix trees that
6992
mention revisions that are not present.
6994
* Fixed bugs in listing plugins from ``bzr plugins``.
6996
* Fix case of $EDITOR containing options for the editor.
6998
* Fix log -r refusing to show the last revision.
6999
(Patch from Goffredo Baroncelli.)
7004
* ``bzr log --show-ids`` shows the revision ids of all parents.
7006
* Externally provided commands on your $BZRPATH no longer need
7007
to recognize --bzr-usage to work properly, and can just handle
7013
* Changed trace messages to go through the standard logging
7014
framework, so that they can more easily be redirected by
7019
bzr-0.0.6 2005-08-18
7020
--------------------
7024
* Python plugins, automatically loaded from the directories on
7025
``BZR_PLUGIN_PATH`` or ``~/.bzr.conf/plugins`` by default.
7027
* New 'bzr mkdir' command.
7029
* Commit mesage is fetched from an editor if not given on the
7030
command line; patch from Torsten Marek.
7032
* ``bzr log -m FOO`` displays commits whose message matches regexp
7035
* ``bzr add`` with no arguments adds everything under the current directory.
7037
* ``bzr mv`` does move or rename depending on its arguments, like
7040
* ``bzr missing`` command shows a summary of the differences
7041
between two trees. (Merged from John Arbash-Meinel.)
7043
* An email address for commits to a particular tree can be
7044
specified by putting it into .bzr/email within a branch. (Based
7045
on a patch from Heikki Paajanen.)
7050
* Faster working tree operations.
7055
* 3rd-party modules shipped with bzr are copied within the bzrlib
7056
python package, so that they can be installed by the setup
7057
script without clashing with anything already existing on the
7058
system. (Contributed by Gustavo Niemeyer.)
7060
* Moved plugins directory to bzrlib/, so that there's a standard
7061
plugin directory which is not only installed with bzr itself but
7062
is also available when using bzr from the development tree.
7063
``BZR_PLUGIN_PATH`` and ``DEFAULT_PLUGIN_PATH`` are then added to the
7064
standard plugins directory.
7066
* When exporting to a tarball with ``bzr export --format tgz``, put
7067
everything under a top directory rather than dumping it into the
7068
current directory. This can be overridden with the ``--root``
7069
option. Patch from William Dodé and John Meinel.
7071
* New ``bzr upgrade`` command to upgrade the format of a branch,
7072
replacing ``bzr check --update``.
7074
* Files within store directories are no longer marked readonly on
7077
* Changed ``bzr log`` output to a more compact form suggested by
7078
John A Meinel. Old format is available with the ``--long`` or
7079
``-l`` option, patched by William Dodé.
7081
* By default the commit command refuses to record a revision with
7082
no changes unless the ``--unchanged`` option is given.
7084
* The ``--no-plugins``, ``--profile`` and ``--builtin`` command
7085
line options must come before the command name because they
7086
affect what commands are available; all other options must come
7087
after the command name because their interpretation depends on
7090
* ``branch`` and ``clone`` added as aliases for ``branch``.
7092
* Default log format is back to the long format; the compact one
7093
is available with ``--short``.
7098
* Fix bugs in committing only selected files or within a subdirectory.
7101
bzr-0.0.5 2005-06-15
7102
---------------------
7106
* ``bzr`` with no command now shows help rather than giving an
7107
error. Suggested by Michael Ellerman.
7109
* ``bzr status`` output format changed, because svn-style output
7110
doesn't really match the model of bzr. Now files are grouped by
7111
status and can be shown with their IDs. ``bzr status --all``
7112
shows all versioned files and unknown files but not ignored files.
7114
* ``bzr log`` runs from most-recent to least-recent, the reverse
7115
of the previous order. The previous behaviour can be obtained
7116
with the ``--forward`` option.
7118
* ``bzr inventory`` by default shows only filenames, and also ids
7119
if ``--show-ids`` is given, in which case the id is the second
7125
* New 'bzr whoami --email' option shows only the email component
7126
of the user identification, from Jo Vermeulen.
7128
* New ``bzr ignore PATTERN`` command.
7130
* Nicer error message for broken pipe, interrupt and similar
7131
conditions that don't indicate an internal error.
7133
* Add ``.*.sw[nop] .git .*.tmp *,v`` to default ignore patterns.
7135
* Per-branch locks keyed on ``.bzr/branch-lock``, available in
7136
either read or write mode.
7138
* New option ``bzr log --show-ids`` shows revision and file ids.
7140
* New usage ``bzr log FILENAME`` shows only revisions that
7143
* Changed format for describing changes in ``bzr log -v``.
7145
* New option ``bzr commit --file`` to take a message from a file,
7146
suggested by LarstiQ.
7148
* New syntax ``bzr status [FILE...]`` contributed by Bartosz
7149
Oler. File may be in a branch other than the working directory.
7151
* ``bzr log`` and ``bzr root`` can be given an http URL instead of
7154
* Commands can now be defined by external programs or scripts
7155
in a directory on $BZRPATH.
7157
* New "stat cache" avoids reading the contents of files if they
7158
haven't changed since the previous time.
7160
* If the Python interpreter is too old, try to find a better one
7161
or give an error. Based on a patch from Fredrik Lundh.
7163
* New optional parameter ``bzr info [BRANCH]``.
7165
* New form ``bzr commit SELECTED`` to commit only selected files.
7167
* New form ``bzr log -r FROM:TO`` shows changes in selected
7168
range; contributed by John A Meinel.
7170
* New option ``bzr diff --diff-options 'OPTS'`` allows passing
7171
options through to an external GNU diff.
7173
* New option ``bzr add --no-recurse`` to add a directory but not
7176
* ``bzr --version`` now shows more information if bzr is being run
7182
* Fixed diff format so that added and removed files will be
7183
handled properly by patch. Fix from Lalo Martins.
7185
* Various fixes for files whose names contain spaces or other
7191
* Converted black-box test suites from Bourne shell into Python;
7192
now run using ``./testbzr``. Various structural improvements to
7195
* testbzr by default runs the version of bzr found in the same
7196
directory as the tests, or the one given as the first parameter.
7198
* testbzr also runs the internal tests, so the only command
7199
required to check is just ``./testbzr``.
7201
* testbzr requires python2.4, but can be used to test bzr running
7202
under a different version.
7204
* Tests added for many other changes in this release.
7209
* Included ElementTree library upgraded to 1.2.6 by Fredrik Lundh.
7211
* Refactor command functions into Command objects based on HCT by
7212
Scott James Remnant.
7214
* Better help messages for many commands.
7216
* Expose ``bzrlib.open_tracefile()`` to start the tracefile; until
7217
this is called trace messages are just discarded.
7219
* New internal function ``find_touching_revisions()`` and hidden
7220
command touching-revisions trace the changes to a given file.
7222
* Simpler and faster ``compare_inventories()`` function.
7224
* ``bzrlib.open_tracefile()`` takes a tracefilename parameter.
7226
* New AtomicFile class.
7228
* New developer commands ``added``, ``modified``.
7233
* Cope on Windows on python2.3 by using the weaker random seed.
7234
2.4 is now only recommended.
7237
bzr-0.0.4 2005-04-22
7238
---------------------
7242
* 'bzr diff' optionally takes a list of files to diff. Still a bit
7243
basic. Patch from QuantumG.
7245
* More default ignore patterns.
7247
* New 'bzr log --verbose' shows a list of files changed in the
7248
changeset. Patch from Sebastian Cote.
7250
* Roll over ~/.bzr.log if it gets too large.
7252
* Command abbreviations 'ci', 'st', 'stat', '?' based on a patch
7255
* New 'bzr help commands' based on a patch from Denys Duchier.
7260
* User email is determined by looking at $BZREMAIL or ~/.bzr.email
7261
or $EMAIL. All are decoded by the locale preferred encoding.
7262
If none of these are present user@hostname is used. The host's
7263
fully-qualified name is not used because that tends to fail when
7264
there are DNS problems.
7266
* New 'bzr whoami' command instead of username user-email.
7271
* Make commit safe for hardlinked bzr trees.
7273
* Some Unicode/locale fixes.
7275
* Partial workaround for ``difflib.unified_diff`` not handling
7276
trailing newlines properly.
7281
* Allow docstrings for help to be in PEP0257 format. Patch from
7284
* More tests in test.sh.
7286
* Write profile data to a temporary file not into working
7287
directory and delete it when done.
7289
* Smaller .bzr.log with process ids.
7294
* Fix opening of ~/.bzr.log on Windows. Patch from Andrew
7297
* Some improvements in handling paths on Windows, based on a patch
7301
bzr-0.0.3 2005-04-06
7302
---------------------
7306
* New "directories" internal command lists versioned directories
7309
* Can now say "bzr commit --help".
7311
* New "rename" command to rename one file to a different name
7314
* New "move" command to move one or more files into a different
7317
* New "renames" command lists files renamed since base revision.
7319
* New cat command contributed by janmar.
7323
* .bzr.log is placed in $HOME (not pwd) and is always written in
7324
UTF-8. (Probably not a completely good long-term solution, but
7329
* Workaround for difflib bug in Python 2.3 that causes an
7330
exception when comparing empty files. Reported by Erik Toubro
7335
* Refactored inventory storage to insert a root entry at the top.
7339
* Start of shell-based black-box testing in test.sh.
7347
* Win32 fixes from Steve Brown.
7350
bzr-0.0.2 "black cube" 2005-03-31
7351
-----------------------------------
7355
* Default ignore list extended (see bzrlib/__init__.py).
7357
* Patterns in .bzrignore are now added to the default ignore list,
7358
rather than replacing it.
7360
* Ignore list isn't reread for every file.
7364
* Reinstate the 'bzr check' command to check invariants of the
7367
* New 'ignored' command lists which files are ignored and why;
7368
'deleted' lists files deleted in the current working tree.
7370
* Performance improvements.
7372
* New global --profile option.
7374
* Ignore patterns like './config.h' now correctly match files in
7375
the root directory only.
7378
bzr-0.0.1 2005-03-26
7379
---------------------
7383
* More information from info command.
7385
* Can now say "bzr help COMMAND" for more detailed help.
7387
* Less file flushing and faster performance when writing logs and
7388
committing to stores.
7390
* More useful verbose output from some commands.
7394
* Fix inverted display of 'R' and 'M' during 'commit -v'.
7398
* Include a subset of ElementTree-1.2.20040618 to make
7399
installation easier.
7401
* Fix time.localtime call to work with Python 2.3 (the minimum
7405
bzr-0.0.0.69 2005-03-22
7406
------------------------
7410
* First public release.
