bzr 1.10rc1 2008-11-28
32
----------------------
33
34
This release of Bazaar focusses on performance improvements when pushing
35
and pulling revisions, both locally and to remote networks. The popular
36
``shelve`` and ``unshelve`` commands, used to interactively revert and
37
restore work in progress, have been merged from bzrtools into the bzr
38
core. There are also bug fixes for portability, and for stacked branches.
39
40
NEW FEATURES:
41
42
* New ``commit_message_template`` hook that is called by the commit
43
code to generate a template commit message. (Jelmer Vernooij)
44
45
* New `shelve` and `unshelve` commands allow undoing and redoing changes.
46
(Aaron Bentley)
47
48
IMPROVEMENTS:
49
50
* ``(Remote)Branch.copy_content_into`` no longer generates the full revision
51
history just to set the last revision info.
52
(Andrew Bennetts, John Arbash Meinel)
53
54
* Fetches between formats with different serializers (such as
55
pack-0.92-subtree and 1.9-rich-root) are faster now. This is due to
56
operating on batches of 100 revisions at time rather than
57
one-by-one. (Andrew Bennetts, John Arbash Meinel)
58
59
* Search index files corresponding to pack files we've already used
60
before searching others, because they are more likely to have the
61
keys we're looking for. This reduces the number of iix and tix
62
files accessed when pushing 1 new revision, for instance.
63
(John Arbash Meinel)
64
65
* Signatures to transfer are calculated more efficiently in
66
``item_keys_introduced_by``. (Andrew Bennetts, John Arbash Meinel)
67
68
* The generic fetch code can once again copy revisions and signatures
69
without extracting them completely to fulltexts and then serializing
70
them back down into byte strings. This is a significant performance
71
improvement when fetching from a stacked branch.
72
(John Arbash Meinel, #300289)
73
74
* When making a large readv() request over ``bzr+ssh``, break up the
75
request into more manageable chunks. Because the RPC is not yet able
76
to stream, this helps keep us from buffering too much information at
77
once. (John Arbash Meinel)
78
79
BUG FIXES:
80
81
* Better message when the user needs to set their Launchpad ID.
82
(Martin Pool, #289148)
83
84
* ``bzr commit --local`` doesn't access the master branch anymore.
85
This fixes a regression introduced in 1.9. (Marius Kruger, #299313)
86
87
* Don't call the system ``chdir()`` with an empty path. Sun OS seems
88
to give an error in that case. Also, don't count on ``getcwd()``
89
being able to allocate a new buffer, which is a gnu extension.
90
(John Arbash Meinel, Martin Pool, Harry Hirsch, #297831)
91
92
* Don't crash when requesting log --forward <file> for a revision range
93
starting with a dotted revno.
94
(Vincent Ladeuil, #300055)
95
96
* Don't create text deltas spanning stacked repositories; this could
97
cause "Revision X not present in Y" when later accessing them.
98
(Martin Pool, #288751)
99
100
* Pack repositories are now able to reload the pack listing and retry
101
the current operation if another action causes the data to be
102
repacked. (John Arbash Meinel, #153786)
103
104
* PermissionDenied errors from smart servers no longer cause
105
"PermissionDenied: "None"" on the client.
106
(Andrew Bennetts, #299254)
107
108
* Pushing to a stacked pack repository now batches writes, the same
109
way writes are batched to ordinary pack repository. This makes
110
pushing to a stacked branch over the network much faster.
111
(Andrew Bennetts, #294479)
112
113
* TooManyConcurrentRequests no longer occur when a fetch fails and
114
tries to abort a write group. This allows the root cause (e.g. a
115
network interruption) to be reported. (Andrew Bennetts, #297014)
116
117
* RemoteRepository.get_parent_map now uses fallback repositories.
118
(Aaron Bentley, #297991?, #293679?)
119
120
API CHANGES:
121
122
* ``CommitBuilder`` now validates the strings it will be committing,
123
to ensure that they do not have characters that will not be properly
124
round-tripped. For now, it just checks for characters that are
125
invalid in the XML form. (John Arbash Meinel, #295161)
126
127
* Constructor parameters for NewPack (internal to pack repositories)
128
have changed incompatibly.
129
130
* ``Repository.abort_write_group`` now accepts an optional
131
``suppress_errors`` flag. Repository implementations that override
132
``abort_write_group`` will need to be updated to accept the new
133
argument. Subclasses that only override ``_abort_write_group``
134
don't need to change.
135
136
* Transport implementations must provide copy_tree_to_transport. A default
137
implementation is provided for Transport subclasses.
138
139
TESTING:
140
141
* ``bzr selftest`` now fails if no doctests are found in a module
142
that's expected to have them. (Martin Pool)
143
144
* Doctests now only report the first failure. (Martin Pool)
145
146
147
bzr 1.9 2008-11-07
148
------------------
149
150
This release of Bazaar adds a new repository format, ``1.9``, with smaller
151
and more efficient index files. This format can be specified when
152
creating a new repository, or used to losslessly upgrade an existing
153
repository. bzr 1.9 also speeds most operations over the smart server
154
protocol, makes annotate faster, and uses less memory when making
155
checkouts or pulling large amounts of data.
156
157
BUG FIXES:
158
159
* Fix "invalid property value 'branch-nick' for None" regression with
160
branches bound to svn branches. (Martin Pool, #293440)
161
162
* Fix SSL/https on Python2.6. (Vincent Ladeuil, #293054)
163
164
* ``SFTPTransport.readv()`` had a bug when requests were out-of-order.
165
This only triggers some-of-the-time on Knit format repositories.
166
(John Arbash Meinel, #293746)
167
168
169
bzr 1.9rc1 2008-10-31
170
---------------------
171
172
NEW FEATURES:
173
174
* New Branch hook ``transform_fallback_location`` allows a function to
175
be called when looking up the stacked source. (Michael Hudson)
176
177
* New repository formats ``1.9`` and ``1.9-rich-root``. These have all
178
the functionality of ``1.6``, but use the new btree indexes.
179
These indexes are both smaller and faster for access to historical
180
information. (John Arbash Meinel)
181
182
IMPROVEMENTS:
183
184
* ``BTreeIndex`` code now is able to prefetch extra pages to help tune
185
the tradeoff between bandwidth and latency. Should be tuned
186
appropriately to not impact commands which need minimal information,
187
but provide a significant boost to ones that need more context. Only
188
has a direct impact on the ``--development2`` format which uses
189
btree's for the indexes. (John Arbash Meinel)
190
191
* ``bzr dump-btree`` is a hidden command introduced to allow dumping
192
the contents of a compressed btree file. (John Arbash Meinel)
193
194
* ``bzr pack`` now tells the index builders to optimize for size. For
195
btree index repositories, this can save 25% of the index size
196
(mostly in the text indexes). (John Arbash Meinel)
197
198
* ``bzr push`` to an existing branch or repository on a smart server
199
is faster, due to Bazaar making more use of the ``get_parent_map``
200
RPC when querying the remote branch's revision graph.
201
(Andrew Bennetts)
202
203
* default username for bzr+ssh and sftp can be configured in
204
authentication.conf. (Aaron Bentley)
205
206
* launchpad-login now provides a default username for bzr+ssh and sftp
207
URLs, allowing username-free URLs to work for everyone. (Aaron Bentley)
208
209
* ``lp:`` lookups no longer include usernames, making them shareable and
210
shorter. (Aaron Bentley)
211
212
* New ``PackRepository.autopack`` smart server RPC, which does
213
autopacking entirely on the server. This is much faster than
214
autopacking via plain file methods, which downloads a large amount
215
of pack data and then re-uploads the same pack data into a single
216
file. This fixes a major (although infrequent) cause of lengthy
217
delays when using a smart server. For example, pushing the 10th
218
revision to a repository with 9 packs now takes 44 RPCs rather than
219
179, and much less bandwidth too. This requires Bazaar 1.9 on both
220
the client and the server, otherwise the client will fallback to the
221
slower method. (Andrew Bennetts)
222
223
BUG FIXES:
224
225
* A failure to load a plugin due to an IncompatibleAPI exception is
226
now correctly reported. (Robert Collins, #279451)
227
228
* API versioning support now has a multiple-version checking api
229
``require_any_api``. (Robert Collins, #279447)
230
231
* ``bzr branch --stacked`` from a smart server to a standalone branch
232
works again. This fixes a regression in 1.7 and 1.8.
233
(Andrew Bennetts, #270397)
234
235
* ``bzr co`` uses less memory. It used to unpack the entire WT into
236
memory before writing it to disk. This was a little bit faster, but
237
consumed lots of memory. (John Arbash Meinel, #269456)
238
239
* ``bzr missing --quiet`` no longer prints messages about whether
240
there are missing revisions. The exit code indicates whether there
241
were or not. (Martin Pool, #284748)
242
243
* Fixes to the ``annotate`` code. The fast-path which re-used the
244
stored deltas was accidentally disabled all the time, instead of
245
only when a branch was stacked. Second, the code would accidentally
246
re-use a delta even if it wasn't against the left-parent, this
247
could only happen if ``bzr reconcile`` decided that the parent
248
ordering was incorrect in the file graph. (John Arbash Meinel)
249
250
* "Permission denied" errors that occur when pushing a new branch to a
251
smart server no longer cause tracebacks. (Andrew Bennetts, #278673)
252
253
* Some compatibility fixes for building the extensions with MSVC and
254
for python2.4. (John Arbash Meinel, #277484)
255
256
* The index logic is now able to reload the list of pack files if and
257
index ends up disappearing. We still don't reload if the pack data
258
itself goes missing after checking the index. This bug appears as a
259
transient failure (file not found) when another process is writing
260
to the repository. (John Arbash Meinel, #153786)
261
262
* ``bzr switch`` and ``bzr bind`` will now update the branch nickname if
263
it was previously set. All checkouts will now refer to the bound branch
264
for a nickname if one was not explicitly set.
265
(Marius Kruger, #230903)
266
267
DOCUMENTATION:
268
269
* Improved hook documentation. (Michael Ernst)
270
271
API CHANGES:
272
273
* commands.plugins_cmds is now a CommandRegistry, not a dict.
274
275
INTERNALS:
276
277
* New AuthenticationConfig.set_credentials method allows easy programmatic
278
configuration of authetication credentials.
279
280
281
bzr 1.8 2008-10-16
282
------------------
283
284
Bazaar 1.8 includes several fixes that improve working tree performance,
285
display of revision logs, and merges. The bzr testsuite now passes on OS
286
X and Python 2.6, and almost completely passes on Windows. The
287
smartserver code has gained several bug fixes and performance
288
improvements, and can now run server-side hooks within an http server.
289
290
BUG FIXES:
291
292
* Fix "Must end write group" error when another error occurs during
293
``bzr push``. (Andrew Bennetts, #230902)
294
295
PORTABILITY:
296
297
* Some Pyrex versions require the WIN32 macro defined to compile on
298
that platform. (Alexander Belchenko, Martin Pool, #277481)
299
300
301
bzr 1.8rc1 2008-10-07
302
---------------------
303
304
CHANGES:
305
306
* ``bzr log file`` has been changed. It now uses a different method
307
for determining which revisions to show as merging the changes to
308
the file. It now only shows revisions which merged the change
309
towards your mainline. This simplifies the output, makes it faster,
310
and reduces memory consumption. (John Arbash Meinel)
311
312
* ``bzr merge`` now defaults to having ``--reprocess`` set, whenever
313
``--show-base`` is not supplied. (John Arbash Meinel)
314
315
* ``bzr+http//`` will now optionally load plugins and write logs on the
316
server. (Marius Kruger)
317
318
* ``bzrlib._dirstate_helpers_c.pyx`` does not compile correctly with
319
Pyrex 0.9.4.1 (it generates C code which causes segfaults). We
320
explicitly blacklist that version of the compiler for that
321
extension. Packaged versions will include .c files created with
322
pyrex >= 0.9.6 so it doesn't effect releases, only users running
323
from the source tree. (John Arbash Meinel, #276868)
324
325
FEATURES:
326
327
* bzr is now compatible with python-2.6. python-2.6 is not yet officially
328
supported (nor released, tests were conducted with the dev version of
329
python-2.6rc2), but all known problems have been fixed. Feedback
330
welcome.
331
(Vincent Ladeuil, #269535)
332
333
IMPROVEMENTS:
334
335
* ``bzr annotate`` will now include uncommitted changes from the local
336
working tree by default. Such uncommitted changes are given the
337
revision number they would get if a commit was done, followed with a
338
? to indicate that its not actually known. (Robert Collins, #3439)
339
340
* ``bzr branch`` now accepts a ``--standalone`` option, which creates a
341
standalone branch regardless of the presence of shared repositories.
342
(Daniel Watkins)
343
344
* ``bzr push`` is faster in the case there are no new revisions to
345
push. It is also faster if there are no tags in the local branch.
346
(Andrew Bennetts)
347
348
* File changes during a commit will update the tree stat cache.
349
(Robert Collins)
350
351
* Location aliases can now accept a trailing path. (Micheal Hudson)
352
353
* New hooks ``Lock.hooks`` when LockDirs are acquired and released.
354
(Robert Collins, MartinPool)
355
356
* Switching in heavyweight checkouts uses the master branch's context, not
357
the checkout's context. (Adrian Wilkins)
358
359
* ``status`` on large trees is now faster, due to optimisations in the
360
walkdirs code. Of particular note, the walkdirs code now performs
361
a temporary ``chdir()`` while reading a single directory; if your
362
platform has non thread-local current working directories (and is
363
not windows which has its own implementation), this may introduce a
364
race condition during concurrent uses of bzrlib. The bzrlib CLI
365
will not encounter this as it is single threaded for working tree
366
operations. (Robert Collins)
367
368
* The C extensions now build on python 2.4 (Robert Collins, #271939)
369
370
* The ``-Dhpss`` debug flag now reports the number of smart server
371
calls per medium to stderr. This is in addition to the existing
372
detailed logging to the .bzr.log trace file. (Andrew Bennetts)
373
374
BUG FIXES:
375
376
* Avoid random failures arising from misinterpreted ``errno`` values
377
in ``_readdir_pyx.read_dir``.
378
(Martin Pool, #279381)
379
380
* Branching from a shared repository on a smart server into a new
381
repository now preserves the repository format.
382
(Andrew Bennetts, #269214)
383
384
* ``bzr log`` now accepts a ``--change`` option.
385
(Vincent Ladeuil, #248427)
386
387
* ``bzr missing`` now accepts an ``--include-merges`` option.
388
(Vincent Ladeuil, #233817)
389
390
* Don't try to filter (internally) '.bzr' from the files to be deleted if
391
it's not there.
392
(Vincent Ladeuil, #272648)
393
394
* Fix '_in_buffer' AttributeError when using the -Dhpss debug flag.
395
(Andrew Bennetts)
396
397
* Fix TooManyConcurrentRequests errors caused by a connection failure
398
when doing ``bzr pull`` or ``bzr merge`` from a ``bzr+ssh`` URL.
399
(Andrew Bennetts, #246233)
400
401
* Fixed ``bzr st -r branch:PATH_TO_BRANCH`` where the other branch
402
is in a different repository than the current one.
403
(Lukáš Lalinský, #144421)
404
405
* Make the first line of the manpage preamble a comment again.
406
(David Futcher, #242106)
407
408
* Remove use of optional parameter in GSSAPI FTP support, since
409
it breaks newer versions of Python-Kerberos. (Jelmer Vernooij)
410
411
* The autopacking logic will now always create a single new pack from
412
all of the content which it deems is worth moving. This avoids the
413
'repack a single pack' bug and should result in better packing
414
overall. (John Arbash Meinel, #242510, #172644)
415
416
* Trivial documentation fix.
417
(John Arbash Meinel, #270471)
418
419
* ``bzr switch`` and ``bzr bind`` will now update the branch nickname if
420
it was previously set. All checkouts will now refer to the bound branch
421
for a nickname if one was not explicitly set.
422
(Marius Kruger, #230903)
423
424
DOCUMENTATION:
425
426
* Explain revision/range identifiers. (Daniel Clemente)
427
428
API CHANGES:
429
430
* ``CommitBuilder.record_entry_contents`` returns one more element in
431
its result tuple - an optional file system hash for the hash cache
432
to use. (Robert Collins)
433
434
* ``dirstate.DirState.update_entry`` will now only calculate the sha1
435
of a file if it is likely to be needed in determining the output
436
of iter_changes. (Robert Collins)
437
438
* The PackRepository, RepositoryPackCollection, NewPack classes have a
439
slightly changed interface to support different index types; as a
440
result other users of these classes need to supply the index types
441
they want. (Robert Collins)
442
443
TESTING:
444
445
* ``bzrlib.tests.repository_implementations`` has been renamed to
446
``bzrlib.tests.per_repository`` so that we have a common structure
447
(and it is shorter). (John Arbash Meinel, #239343)
448
449
* ``LocalTransport.abspath()`` now returns a drive letter if the
450
transport has one, fixing numerous tests on Windows.
451
(Mark Hammond)
452
453
* PreviewTree is now tested via intertree_implementations.
454
(Aaron Bentley)
455
456
* The full test suite is passing again on OSX.
457
(Guillermo Gonzalez, Vincent Ladeuil)
458
459
* The full test suite passes when run with ``-Eallow_debug``.
460
(Andrew Bennetts)
461
462
INTERNALS:
463
464
* A new hook, ``Branch.open``, has been added, which is called when
465
branch objects are opened. (Robert Collins)
466
467
* ``bzrlib.osutils._walkdirs_utf8`` has been refactored into common
468
tree walking, and modular directory listing code to aid future
469
performance optimisations and refactoring. (Robert Collins)
470
471
* ``bzrlib.trace.debug_memory`` can be used to get a quick memory dump
472
in the middle of processing. It only reports memory if
473
``/proc/PID/status`` is available. (John Arbash Meinel)
474
475
* New method ``RevisionSpec.as_tree`` for representing the revision
476
specifier as a revision tree object. (Lukáš Lalinský)
477
478
* New race-free method on MutableTree ``get_file_with_stat`` for use
479
when generating stat cache results. (Robert Collins)
480
481
* New win32utils.get_local_appdata_location() provides access to a local
482
directory for storing data. (Mark Hammond)
483
484
* To be compatible with python-2.6 a few new rules should be
485
observed. 'message' attribute can't be used anymore in exception
486
classes, 'sha' and 'md5' modules have been deprecated (use
487
osutils.[md5|sha]), object__init__ and object.__new__ don't accept
488
parameters anymore.

bzr 1.7.1 2008-10-01
493
--------------------
494
495
No changes from 1.7.1rc1.
496
497
498
bzr 1.7.1rc1 2008-09-24
499
-----------------------
500
501
This release just includes an update to how the merge algorithm handles
502
file paths when we encounter complex history.
503
504
FEATURES:
505
506
* If we encounter a criss-cross in history, use information from
507
direct Least Common Ancestors to resolve inventory shape (locations
508
of files, adds, deletes, etc). This is similar in concept to using
509
``--lca`` for merging file texts, only applied to paths.
510
(John Arbash Meinel)

513
bzr 1.7 2008-09-23
514
------------------
515
516
This release includes many bug fixes and a few performance and feature
517
improvements. ``bzr rm`` will now scan for missing files and remove them,
518
like how ``bzr add`` scans for unknown files and adds them. A bit more
519
polish has been applied to the stacking code. The b-tree indexing code has
520
been brought in, with an eye on using it in a future repository format.
521
There are only minor installer changes since bzr-1.7rc2.
522
523
FEATURES
524
525
* Some small updates to the win32 installer. Include localization
526
files found in plugins, and include the builtin distutils as part of
527
packaging qbzr. (Mark Hammond)
528
529
530
bzr 1.7rc2 2008-09-17
531
---------------------
532
533
A few bug fixes from 1.7rc1. The biggest change is a new
534
``RemoteBranch.get_stacked_on_url`` rpc. This allows clients that are
535
trying to access a Stacked branch over the smart protocol, to properly
536
connect to the stacked-on location.
537
538
BUG FIXES:
539
540
* Branching from a shared repository on a smart server into a new
541
repository now preserves the repository format.
542
(Andrew Bennetts, #269214)
543
544
* Branching from a stacked branch via ``bzr+ssh`` can properly connect
545
to the stacked-on branch. (Martin Pool, #261315)
546
547
* ``bzr init`` no longer re-opens the BzrDir multiple times.
548
(Vincent Ladeuil)
549
550
* Fix '_in_buffer' AttributeError when using the -Dhpss debug flag.

554
bzr 1.7rc1 2008-09-09
555
---------------------
556
557
This release candidate for bzr 1.7 has several bug fixes and a few
558
performance and feature improvements. ``bzr rm`` will now scan for
559
missing files and remove them, like how ``bzr add`` scans for unknown
560
files and adds them. A bit more polish has been applied to the stacking
561
code. The b-tree indexing code has been brought in, with an eye on using
562
it in a future repository format.
563
564
565
CHANGES:
566
567
* ``bzr export`` can now export a subdirectory of a project.
568
(Robert Collins)
569
570
* ``bzr remove-tree`` will now refuse to remove a tree with uncommitted
571
changes, unless the ``--force`` option is specified.
572
(Lukáš Lalinský, #74101)
573
574
* ``bzr rm`` will now scan for files that are missing and remove just
575
them automatically, much as ``bzr add`` scans for new files that
576
are not ignored and adds them automatically. (Robert Collins)
577
578
FEATURES
579
580
* Support for GSSAPI authentication when using FTP as documented in
581
RFC2228. (Jelmer Vernooij, #49623)
582
583
* Add support for IPv6 in the smart server. (Jelmer Vernooij, #165014)
584
585
IMPROVEMENTS:
586
587
* A url like ``log+file:///tmp`` will log all access to that Transport
588
to ``.bzr.log``, which may help in debugging or profiling.
589
(Martin Pool)
590
591
* ``bzr branch`` and ``bzr push`` use the default stacking policy if the
592
branch format supports it. (Aaron Bentley)
593
594
* ``bzr init`` and ``bzr init-repo`` will now print out the same as
595
``bzr info`` if it completed successfully.
596
(Marius Kruger)
597
598
* ``bzr uncommit`` logs the old tip revision id, and displays how to
599
restore the branch to that tip using ``bzr pull``. This allows you
600
to recover if you realize you uncommitted the wrong thing.
601
(John Arbash Meinel)
602
603
* Fix problems in accessing stacked repositories over ``bzr://``.
604
(Martin Pool, #261315)
605
606
* ``SFTPTransport.readv()`` was accidentally using ``list += string``,
607
which 'works', but adds each character separately to the list,
608
rather than using ``list.append(string)``. Fixing this makes the
609
SFTP transport a little bit faster (~20%) and use a bit less memory.
610
(John Arbash Meinel)
611
612
* When reading index files, if we happen to read the whole file in a
613
single request treat it as a ``_buffer_all`` request. This happens
614
most often on small indexes over remote transports, where we default
615
to reading 64kB. It saves a round trip for each small index during
616
fetch operations. Also, if we have read more than 50% of an index
617
file, trigger a ``_buffer_all`` on the next request. This works
618
around some inefficiencies because reads don't fall neatly on page
619
boundaries, so we would ignore those bytes, but request them again
620
later. This could trigger a total read size of more than the whole
621
file. (John Arbash Meinel)
622
623
BUG FIXES:
624
625
* ``bzr rm`` is now aliased to ``bzr del`` for the convenience of svn
626
users. (Robert Collins, #205416)
627
628
* Catch the infamous "select/poll returned error" which occurs when
629
pycurl try to send a body request to an HTTP/1.0 server which has
630
already refused to handle the request. (Vincent Ladeuil, #225020)
631
632
* Fix ``ObjectNotLocked`` errors when using various commands
633
(including ``bzr cat`` and ``bzr annotate``) in combination with a
634
smart server URL. (Andrew Bennetts, #237067)
635
636
* ``FTPTransport.stat()`` would return ``0000`` as the permission bits
637
for the containing ``.bzr/`` directory (it does not implement
638
permissions). This would cause us to set all subdirectories to
639
``0700`` and files to ``0600`` rather than leaving them unmodified.
640
Now we ignore ``0000`` as the permissions and assume they are
641
invalid. (John Arbash Meinel, #259855)
642
643
* Merging from a previously joined branch will no longer cause
644
a traceback. (Jelmer Vernooij, #203376)
645
646
* Pack operations on windows network shares will work even with large
647
files. (Robert Collins, #255656)
648
649
* Running ``bzr st PATH_TO_TREE`` will no longer suppress merge
650
status. Status is also about 7% faster on mozilla sized trees
651
when the path to the root of the tree has been given. Users of
652
the internal ``show_tree_status`` function should be aware that
653
the show_pending flag is now authoritative for showing pending
654
merges, as it was originally. (Robert Collins, #225204)
655
656
* Set valid default _param_name for Option so that ListOption can embed
657
'-' in names. (Vincent Ladeuil, #263249)
658
659
* Show proper error rather than traceback when an unknown revision
660
id is specified to ``bzr cat-revision``. (Jelmer Vernooij, #175569)
661
662
* Trailing text in the dirstate file could cause the C dirstate parser
663
to try to allocate an invalid amount of memory. We now properly
664
check and test for parsing a dirstate with invalid trailing data.
665
(John Arbash Meinel, #186014)
666
667
* Unexpected error responses from a smart server no longer cause the
668
client to traceback. (Andrew Bennetts, #263527)
669
670
* Use a Windows api function to get a Unicode host name, rather than
671
assuming the host name is ascii.
672
(Mark Hammond, John Arbash Meinel, #256550)
673
674
* ``WorkingTree4`` trees will now correctly report missing-and-new
675
paths in the output of ``iter_changes``. (Robert Collins)
676
677
DOCUMENTATION:
678
679
* Updated developer documentation. (Martin Pool)
680
681
API CHANGES:
682
683
* Exporters now take 4 parameters. (Robert Collins)
684
685
* ``Tree.iter_changes`` will now return False for the content change
686
field when a file is missing in the basis tree and not present in
687
the target tree. Previously it returned True unconditionally.
688
(Robert Collins)
689
690
* The deprecated ``Branch.abspath`` and unimplemented
691
``Branch.rename_one`` and ``Branch.move`` were removed. (Jelmer Vernooij)
692
693
* BzrDir.clone_on_transport implementations must now accept a stacked_on
694
parameter. (Aaron Bentley)
695
696
* BzrDir.cloning_metadir implementations must now take a require_stacking
697
parameter. (Aaron Bentley)
698
699
TESTING:
700
701
* ``addCleanup`` now takes ``*arguments`` and ``**keyword_arguments``
702
which are then passed to the cleanup callable as it is run. In
703
addition, addCleanup no longer requires that the callables passed to
704
it be unique. (Jonathan Lange)
705
706
* Fix some tests that fail on Windows because files are deleted while
707
still in use.
708
(Mark Hammond)
709
710
* ``selftest``'s ``--starting-with`` option can now use predefined
711
prefixes so that one can say ``bzr selftest -s bp.loom`` instead of
712
``bzr selftest -s bzrlib.plugins.loom``. (Vincent Ladeuil)
713
714
* ``selftest``'s ``--starting-with`` option now accepts multiple values.
715
(Vincent Ladeuil)
716
717
INTERNALS:
718
719
* A new plugin interface, ``bzrlib.log.log_adapters``, has been added.
720
This allows dynamic log output filtering by plugins.
721
(Robert Collins)
722
723
* ``bzrlib.btree_index`` is now available, providing a b-tree index
724
layer. The design is memory conservative (limited memory cache),
725
faster to seek (approx 100 nodes per page, gives 100-way fan out),
726
and stores compressed pages allowing more keys per page.
727
(Robert Collins, John Arbash Meinel)
728
729
* ``bzrlib.diff.DiffTree.show_diff`` now skips changes where the kind
730
is unknown in both source and target.
731
(Robert Collins, Aaron Bentley)
732
733
* ``GraphIndexBuilder.add_node`` and ``BTreeBuilder`` have been
734
streamlined a bit. This should make creating large indexes faster.
735
(In benchmarking, it now takes less time to create a BTree index than
736
it takes to read the GraphIndex one.) (John Arbash Meinel)
737
738
* Mail clients for `bzr send` are now listed in a registry. This
739
allows plugins to add new clients by registering them with
740
``bzrlib.mail_client.mail_client_registry``. All of the built-in
741
clients now use this mechanism. (Neil Martinsen-Burrell)
742

744
bzr 1.6.1 2008-09-05
745
--------------------
746
747
A couple regressions were found in the 1.6 release. There was a
748
performance issue when using ``bzr+ssh`` to branch large repositories,
749
and some problems with stacking and ``rich-root`` capable repositories.
750
751
752
bzr 1.6.1rc2 2008-09-03
753
-----------------------
754
755
BUG FIXES:
756
757
* Copying between ``rich-root`` and ``rich-root-pack`` (and vice
758
versa) was accidentally using the inter-model fetcher, instead of
759
recognizing that both were 'rich root' formats.
760
(John Arbash Meinel, #264321)
761
762
763
bzr 1.6.1rc1 2008-08-29
764
-----------------------
765
766
This release fixes a few regressions found in the 1.6 client. Fetching
767
changes was using an O(N^2) buffering algorithm, so for large projects it
768
would cause memory thrashing. There is also a specific problem with the
769
``--1.6-rich-root`` format, which prevented stacking on top of
770
``--rich-root-pack`` repositories, and could allow users to accidentally
771
fetch experimental data (``-subtree``) without representing it properly.
772
The ``--1.6-rich-root`` format has been deprecated and users are
773
recommended to upgrade to ``--1.6.1-rich-root`` immediately. Also we
774
re-introduced a workaround for users who have repositories with incorrect
775
nodes (not possible if you only used official releases).
776
I should also clarify that none of this is data loss level issues, but
777
still sufficient enough to warrant an updated release.
778
779
BUG FIXES:
780
781
* ``RemoteTransport.readv()`` was being inefficient about how it
782
buffered the readv data and processed it. It would keep appending to
783
the same string (causing many copies) and then pop bytes out of the
784
start of the string (causing more copies).
785
With this patch "bzr+ssh://local" can improve dramatically,
786
especially for projects with large files.
787
(John Arbash Meinel)
788
789
* Revision texts were always meant to be stored as fulltexts. There
790
was a bug in a bzr.dev version that would accidentally create deltas
791
when copying from a Pack repo to a Knit repo. This has been fixed,
792
but to support those repositories, we know always request full texts
793
for Revision texts. (John Arbash Meinel, #261339)
794
795
* The previous ``--1.6-rich-root`` format used an incorrect xml
796
serializer, which would accidentally support fetching from a
797
repository that supported subtrees, even though the local one would
798
not. We deprecated that format, and introduced a new one that uses
799
the correct serializer ``--1.6.1-rich-root``.

803
bzr 1.6 2008-08-25
804
------------------
805
806
Finally, the long awaited bzr 1.6 has been released. This release includes
807
new features like Stacked Branches, improved weave merge, and an updated
808
server protocol (now on v3) which will allow for better cross version
809
compatibility. With this release we have deprecated Knit format
810
repositories, and recommend that users upgrade them, we will continue to
811
support reading and writing them for the forseeable future, but we will
812
not be tuning them for performance as pack repositories have proven to be
813
better at scaling. This will also be the first release to bundle
814
TortoiseBzr in the standalone Windows installer.
815
816
817
bzr 1.6rc5 2008-08-19
818
---------------------
819
820
BUG FIXES:
821
822
* Disable automatic detection of stacking based on a containing
823
directory of the target. It interacted badly with push, and needs a
824
bit more work to get the edges polished before it should happen
825
automatically. (John Arbash Meinel, #259275)
826
(This change was reverted when merged to bzr.dev)
827
828
829
bzr 1.6rc4 2008-08-18
830
---------------------
831
832
BUG FIXES:
833
834
* Fix a regression in knit => pack fetching. We had a logic
835
inversion, causing the fetch to insert fulltexts in random order,
836
rather than preserving deltas. (John Arbash Meinel, #256757)
837
838
839
bzr 1.6rc3 2008-08-14
840
---------------------
841
842
CHANGES:
843
844
* Disable reading ``.bzrrules`` as a per-branch rule preferences
845
file. The feature was not quite ready for a full release.
846
(Robert Collins)
847
848
IMPROVEMENTS:
849
850
* Update the windows installer to bundle TortoiseBzr and ``qbzr``
851
into the standalone installer. This will be the first official
852
windows release that installs Tortoise by default.
853
(Mark Hammond)
854
855
BUG FIXES:
856
857
* Fix a regression in ``bzr+http`` support. There was a missing
858
function (``_read_line``) that needed to be carried over from
859
``bzr+ssh`` support. (Andrew Bennetts)
860
861
* ``GraphIndex`` objects will internally read an entire index if more
862
than 1/20th of their keyspace is requested in a single operation.
863
This largely mitigates a performance regression in ``bzr log FILE``
864
and completely corrects the performance regression in ``bzr log``.
865
The regression was caused by removing an accomodation which had been
866
supporting the index format in use. A newer index format is in
867
development which is substantially faster. (Robert Collins)
868
869
870
bzr 1.6rc2 2008-08-13
871
---------------------
872
873
This release candidate has a few minor bug fixes, and some regression
874
fixes for Windows.
875
876
BUG FIXES:
877
878
* ``bzr upgrade`` on remote branches accessed via bzr:// and
879
bzr+ssh:// now works. (Andrew Bennetts)
880
881
* Change the ``get_format_description()`` strings for
882
``RepositoryFormatKnitPack5`` et al to be single line messages.
883
(Aaron Bentley)
884
885
* Fix for a regression on Win32 where we would try to call
886
``os.listdir()`` on a file and not catch the exception properly.
887
(Windows raises a different exception.) This would manifest in
888
places like ``bzr rm file`` or ``bzr switch``.
889
(Mark Hammond, John Arbash Meinel)
890
891
* ``Inventory.copy()`` was failing to set the revision property for
892
the root entry. (Jelmer Vernooij)
893
894
* sftp transport: added missing ``FileExists`` case to
895
``_translate_io_exception`` (Christophe Troestler, #123475)
896
897
* The help for ``bzr ignored`` now suggests ``bzr ls --ignored`` for
898
scripting use. (Robert Collins, #3834)
899
900
* The default ``annotate`` logic will now always assign the
901
last-modified value of a line to one of the revisions that modified
902
it, rather than a merge revision. This would happen when both sides
903
claimed to have modified the line resulting in the same text. The
904
choice is arbitrary but stable, so merges in different directions
905
will get the same results. (John Arbash Meinel, #232188)
906
907
908
bzr 1.6rc1 2008-08-06
909
---------------------
910
911
This release candidate for bzr 1.6 solidifies the new branch stacking
912
feature. Bazaar now recommends that users upgrade all knit repositories,
913
because later formats are much faster. However, we plan to continue read/write and
914
upgrade support for knit repostories for the forseeable future. Several
915
other bugs and performance issues were fixed.
916
917
CHANGES:
918
919
* Knit format repositories are deprecated and bzr will now emit
920
warnings whenever it encounters one. Use ``bzr upgrade`` to upgrade
921
knit repositories to pack format. (Andrew Bennetts)
922
923
IMPROVEMENTS:
924
925
* ``bzr check`` can now be told which elements at a location it should
926
check. (Daniel Watkins)
927
928
* Commit now supports ``--exclude`` (or ``-x``) to exclude some files
929
from the commit. (Robert Collins, #3117)
930
931
* Fetching data between repositories that have the same model but no
932
optimised fetcher will not reserialise all the revisions, increasing
933
performance. (Robert Collins, John Arbash Meinel)
934
935
* Give a more specific error when target branch is not reachable.
936
(James Westby)

* Implemented a custom ``walkdirs_utf8`` implementation for win32.
939
This uses a pyrex extension to get direct access to the
940
``FindFirstFileW`` style apis, rather than using ``listdir`` +
941
``lstat``. Shows a very strong improvement in commands like
942
``status`` and ``diff`` which have to iterate the working tree.
943
Anywhere from 2x-6x faster depending on the size of the tree (bigger
944
trees, bigger benefit.) (John Arbash Meinel)
945
946
* New registry for log properties handles and the method in
947
LongLogFormatter to display the custom properties returned by the
948
registered handlers. (Guillermo Gonzalez, #162469)
949
950
BUG FIXES:
951
952
* Add more tests that stacking does not create deltas spanning
953
physical repository boundaries.
954
(Martin Pool, #252428)
955
956
* Better message about incompatible repositories.
957
(Martin Pool, #206258)
958
959
* ``bzr branch --stacked`` ensures the destination branch format can
960
support stacking, even if the origin does not.
961
(Martin Pool)
962
963
* ``bzr export`` no longer exports ``.bzrrules``.
964
(Ian Clatworthy)
965
966
* ``bzr serve --directory=/`` now correctly allows the whole
967
filesystem to be accessed on Windows, not just the root of the drive
968
that Python is running from.
969
(Adrian Wilkins, #240910)
970
971
* Deleting directories by hand before running ``bzr rm`` will not
972
cause subsequent errors in ``bzr st`` and ``bzr commit``.
973
(Robert Collins, #150438)
974
975
* Fix a test case that was failing if encoding wasn't UTF-8.
976
(John Arbash Meinel, #247585)
977
978
* Fix "no buffer space available" error when branching with the new
979
smart server protocol to or from Windows.
980
(Andrew Bennetts, #246180)
981
982
* Fixed problem in branching from smart server.
983
(#249256, Michael Hudson, Martin Pool)
984
985
* Handle a file turning in to a directory in TreeTransform.
986
(James Westby, #248448)
987
988
API CHANGES:
989
990
* ``MutableTree.commit`` has an extra optional keywork parameter
991
``exclude`` that will be unconditionally supplied by the command
992
line UI - plugins that add tree formats may need an update.
993
(Robert Collins)
994
995
* The API minimum version for plugin compatibility has been raised to
996
1.6 - there are significant changes throughout the code base.
997
(Robert Collins)
998
999
* The generic fetch code now uses three attributes on Repository objects
1000
to control fetch. The streams requested are controlled via :
1001
``_fetch_order`` and ``_fetch_uses_deltas``. Setting these
1002
appropriately allows different repository implementations to recieve
1003
data in their optimial form. If the ``_fetch_reconcile`` is set then
1004
a reconcile operation is triggered at the end of the fetch.
1005
(Robert Collins)
1006
1007
* The ``put_on_disk`` and ``get_tar_item`` methods in
1008
``InventoryEntry`` were deprecated. (Ian Clatworthy)
1009
1010
* ``Repository.is_shared`` doesn't take a read lock. It didn't
1011
need one in the first place (nobody cached the value, and
1012
``RemoteRepository`` wasn't taking one either). This saves a round
1013
trip when probing Pack repositories, as they read the ``pack-names``
1014
file when locked. And during probe, locking the repo isn't very
1015
useful. (John Arbash Meinel)
1016
1017
INTERNALS:
1018
1019
* ``bzrlib.branchbuilder.BranchBuilder`` is now much more capable of
1020
putting together a real history without having to create a full
1021
WorkingTree. It is recommended that tests that are not directly
1022
testing the WorkingTree use BranchBuilder instead. See
1023
``BranchBuilder.build_snapshot`` or
1024
``TestCaseWithMemoryTree.make_branch_builder``. (John Arbash Meinel)
1025
1026
* ``bzrlib.builtins.internal_tree_files`` broken into two giving a new
1027
helper ``safe_relpath_files`` - used by the new ``exclude``
1028
parameter to commit. (Robert Collins)
1029
1030
* Make it easier to introduce new WorkingTree formats.
1031
(Ian Clatworthy)
1032
1033
* The code for exporting trees was refactored not to use the
1034
deprecated ``InventoryEntry`` methods. (Ian Clatworthy)
1035
1036
* RuleSearchers return () instead of [] now when there are no matches.
1037

bzr 1.6beta3 2008-07-17
1041
-----------------------
1042
1043
This release adds a new 'stacked branches' feature allowing branches to
1044
share storage without being in the same repository or on the same machine.
1045
(See the user guide for more details.) It also adds a new hook, improved
1046
weaves, aliases for related locations, faster bzr+ssh push, and several
1047
bug fixes.
1048
1049
FEATURES:
1050
1051
* New ``pre_change_branch_tip`` hook that is called before the
1052
branch tip is moved, while the branch is write-locked. See the User
1053
Reference for signature details. (Andrew Bennetts)
1054
1055
* Rule-based preferences can now be defined for selected files in
1056
selected branches, allowing commands and plugins to provide
1057
custom behaviour for files matching defined patterns.
1058
See ``Rule-based preferences`` (part of ``Configuring Bazaar``)
1059
in the User Guide and ``bzr help rules`` for more information.
1060
(Ian Clatworthy)
1061
1062
* Sites may suggest a branch to stack new branches on. (Aaron Bentley)
1063
1064
* Stacked branches are now supported. See ``bzr help branch`` and
1065
``bzr help push``. Branches must be in the ``development1`` format
1066
to stack, though the stacked-on branch can be of any format.
1067
(Robert Collins)
1068
1069
IMPROVEMENTS:
1070
1071
* ``bzr export --format=tgz --root=NAME -`` to export a gzipped tarball
1072
to stdout; also ``tar`` and ``tbz2``.
1073
(Martin Pool)
1074
1075
* ``bzr (re)merge --weave`` will now use a standard Weave algorithm,
1076
rather than the annotation-based merge it was using. It does so by
1077
building up a Weave of the important texts, without needing to build
1078
the full ancestry. (John Arbash Meinel, #238895)
1079
1080
* ``bzr send`` documents and better supports ``emacsclient`` (proper
1081
escaping of mail headers and handling of the MUA Mew).
1082
(Christophe Troestler)
1083
1084
* Remembered locations can be specified by aliases, e.g. :parent, :public,
1085
:submit. (Aaron Bentley)
1086
1087
* The smart protocol now has improved support for setting branches'
1088
revision info directly. This makes operations like push
1089
faster. The new request method name is
1090
``Branch.set_last_revision_ex``. (Andrew Bennetts)
1091
1092
BUG FIXES:
1093
1094
* Bazaar is now able to be a client to the web server of IIS 6 and 7.
1095
The broken implementations of RFC822 in Python and RFC2046 in IIS
1096
combined with boundary-line checking in Bazaar previously made this
1097
impossible. (NB, IIS 5 does not suffer from this problem).
1098
(Adrian Wilkins, #247585)
1099
1100
* ``bzr log --long`` with a ghost in your mainline now handles that
1101
ghost properly. (John Arbash Meinel, #243536)
1102
1103
* ``check`` handles the split-up .bzr layout correctly, so no longer
1104
requires a branch to be present.
1105
(Daniel Watkins, #64783)
1106
1107
* Clearer message about how to set the PYTHONPATH if bzrlib can't be
1108
loaded.
1109
(Martin Pool, #205230)
1110
1111
* Errors about missing libraries are now shown without a traceback,
1112
and with a suggestion to install the library. The full traceback is
1113
still in ``.bzr.log`` and can be shown with ``-Derror``.
1114
(Martin Pool, #240161)
1115
1116
* Fetch from a stacked branch copies all required data.
1117
(Aaron Bentley, #248506)
1118
1119
* Handle urls such as ftp://user@host.com@www.host.com where the user
1120
name contains an @.
1121
(Neil Martinsen-Burrell, #228058)
1122
1123
* ``needs_read_lock`` and ``needs_write_lock`` now suppress an error during
1124
``unlock`` if there was an error in the original function. This helps
1125
most when there is a failure with a smart server action, since often the
1126
connection closes and we cannot unlock.
1127
(Andrew Bennetts, John Arbash Meinel, #125784)
1128
1129
* Obsolete hidden command ``bzr fetch`` removed.
1130
(Martin Pool, #172870)
1131
1132
* Raise the correct exception when doing ``-rbefore:0`` or ``-c0``.
1133
(John Arbash Meinel, #239933)
1134
1135
* You can now compare file revisions in Windows diff programs from
1136
Cygwin Bazaar.
1137
(Matt McClure, #209281)
1138
1139
* revision_history now tolerates mainline ghosts for Branch format 6.
1140
(Aaron Bentley, #235055)
1141
1142
* Set locale from environment for third party libs.
1143
(Martin von Gagern, #128496)
1144
1145
DOCUMENTATION:
1146
1147
* Added *Using stacked branches* to the User Guide.
1148
(Ian Clatworthy)
1149
1150
* Updated developer documentation.
1151
(Martin Pool)
1152
1153
TESTING:
1154
1155
* ``-Dmemory`` will cause /proc/PID/status to be catted before bzr
1156
exits, allowing low-key analysis of peak memory use. (Robert Collins)
1157
1158
* ``TestCaseWithTransport.make_branch_and_tree`` tries harder to return
1159
a tree with a ``branch`` attribute of the right format. This was
1160
preventing some ``RemoteBranch`` tests from actually running with
1161
``RemoteBranch`` instances. (Andrew Bennetts)
1162
1163
API CHANGES:
1164
1165
* Removed ``Repository.text_store``, ``control_store``, etc. Instead,
1166
there are new attributes ``texts, inventories, revisions,
1167
signatures``, each of which is a ``VersionedFiles``. See the
1168
Repository docstring for more details.
1169
(Robert Collins)
1170
1171
* ``Branch.pull`` now accepts an ``_override_hook_target`` optional
1172
parameter. If you have a subclass of ``Branch`` that overrides
1173
``pull`` then you should add this parameter. (Andrew Bennetts)
1174
1175
* ``bzrlib.check.check()`` has been deprecated in favour of the more
1176
aptly-named ``bzrlib.check.check_branch()``.
1177
(Daniel Watkins)
1178
1179
* ``Tree.print_file`` and ``Repository.print_file`` are deprecated.
1180
These methods are bad APIs because they write directly to sys.stdout.
1181
bzrlib does not use them internally, and there are no direct tests
1182
for them. (Alexander Belchenko)
1183
1184
INTERNALS:
1185
1186
* ``cat`` command no longer uses ``Tree.print_file()`` internally.
1187
(Alexander Belchenko)
1188
1189
* New class method ``BzrDir.open_containing_tree_branch_or_repository``
1190
which eases the discovery of the tree, the branch and the repository
1191
containing a given location.
1192
(Daniel Watkins)
1193
1194
* New ``versionedfile.KeyMapper`` interface to abstract out the access to
1195
underlying .knit/.kndx etc files in repositories with partitioned
1196
storage. (Robert Collins)
1197
1198
* Obsolete developer-use command ``weave-join`` has been removed.
1199
(Robert Collins)
1200
1201
* ``RemoteToOtherFetcher`` and ``get_data_stream_for_search`` removed,
1202
to support new ``VersionedFiles`` layering.
1203
(Robert Collins)
1204
1205
1206
bzr 1.6beta2 2008-06-10
1207
-----------------------
1208
1209
This release contains further progress towards our 1.6 goals of shallow
1210
repositories, and contains a fix for some user-affecting bugs in the
1211
repository layer. Building working trees during checkout and branch is
1212
now faster.
1213
1214
BUG FIXES:
1215
1216
* Avoid KnitCorrupt error extracting inventories from some repositories.
1217
(The data is not corrupt; an internal check is detecting a problem
1218
reading from the repository.)
1219
(Martin Pool, Andrew Bennetts, Robert Collins, #234748)
1220
1221
* ``bzr status`` was breaking if you merged the same revision twice.
1222
(John Arbash Meinel, #235407)
1223
1224
* Fix infinite loop consuming 100% CPU when a connection is lost while
1225
reading a response body via the smart protocol v1 or v2.
1226
(Andrew Bennetts)
1227
1228
* Inserting a bundle which changes the contents of a file with no trailing
1229
end of line, causing a knit snapshot in a 'knits' repository will no longer
1230
cause KnitCorrupt. (Robert Collins)
1231
1232
* ``RemoteBranch.pull`` needs to return the ``self._real_branch``'s
1233
pull result. It was instead just returning None, which breaks ``bzr
1234
pull``. (John Arbash Meinel, #238149)
1235
1236
* Sanitize branch nick before using it as an attachment filename in
1237
``bzr send``. (Lukáš Lalinský, #210218)
1238
1239
* Squash ``inv_entry.symlink_target`` to a plain string when
1240
generating DirState details. This prevents from getting a
1241
``UnicodeError`` when you have symlinks and non-ascii filenames.
1242
(John Arbash Meinel, #135320)
1243
1244
IMPROVEMENTS:
1245
1246
* Added the 'alias' command to set/unset and display aliases. (Tim Penhey)
1247
1248
* ``added``, ``modified``, and ``unknowns`` behaviour made consistent (all three
1249
now quote paths where required). Added ``--null`` option to ``added`` and
1250
``modified`` (for null-separated unknowns, use ``ls --unknown --null``)
1251
(Adrian Wilkins)
1252
1253
* Faster branching (1.09x) and lightweight checkouts (1.06x) on large trees.
1254
(Ian Clatworthy, Aaron Bentley)
1255
1256
DOCUMENTATION:
1257
1258
* Added *Bazaar Zen* section to the User Guide. (Ian Clatworthy)
1259
1260
TESTING:
1261
1262
* Fix the test HTTPServer to be isolated from chdir calls made while it is
1263
running, allowing it to be used in blackbox tests. (Robert Collins)
1264
1265
API CHANGES:
1266
1267
* ``WorkingTree.set_parent_(ids/trees)`` will now filter out revisions
1268
which are in the ancestry of other revisions. So if you merge the same
1269
tree twice, or merge an ancestor of an existing merge, it will only
1270
record the newest. (If you merge a descendent, it will replace its
1271
ancestor). (John Arbash Meinel, #235407)
1272
1273
* ``RepositoryPolicy.__init__`` now requires stack_on and stack_on_pwd,
1274
through the derived classes do not. (Aaron Bentley)
1275
1276
INTERNALS:
1277
1278
* ``bzrlib.bzrdir.BzrDir.sprout`` now accepts ``stacked`` to control
1279
creating stacked branches. (Robert Collins)
1280
1281
* Knit record serialisation is now stricter on what it will accept, to
1282
guard against potential internal bugs, or broken input. (Robert Collins)
1283
1284
1285
bzr 1.6beta1 2008-06-02
1286
-----------------------
1287
1288
1289
Commands that work on the revision history such as push, pull, missing,
1290
uncommit and log are now substantially faster. This release adds a
1291
translation of some of the user documentation into Spanish. (Contributions of
1292
other translations would be very welcome.) Bazaar 1.6beta1 adds a new network
1293
protocol which is used by default and which allows for more efficient transfers
1294
and future extensions.
1295
1296
1297
NOTES WHEN UPGRADING:
1298
1299
* There is a new version of the network protocol used for bzr://, bzr+ssh://
1300
and bzr+http:// connections. This will allow more efficient requests and
1301
responses, and more graceful fallback when a server is too old to
1302
recognise a request from a more recent client. Bazaar 1.6 will
1303
interoperate with 0.16 and later versions, but servers should be upgraded
1304
when possible. Bazaar 1.6 no longer interoperates with 0.15 and earlier via
1305
these protocols. Use alternatives like SFTP or upgrade those servers.
1306
(Andrew Bennetts, #83935)
1307
1308
CHANGES:
1309
1310
* Deprecation warnings will not be suppressed when running ``bzr selftest``
1311
so that developers can see if their code is using deprecated functions.
1312
(John Arbash Meinel)
1313
1314
FEATURES:
1315
1316
* Adding ``-Derror`` will now display a traceback when a plugin fails to
1317
load. (James Westby)
1318
1319
IMPROVEMENTS:
1320
1321
* ``bzr branch/push/pull -r XXX`` now have a helper function for finding
1322
the revno of the new revision (``Graph.find_distance_to_null``). This
1323
should make something like ``bzr branch -r -100`` in a shared, no-trees
1324
repository much snappier. (John Arbash Meinel)
1325
1326
* ``bzr log --short -r X..Y`` no longer needs to access the full revision
1327
history. This makes it noticeably faster when logging the last few
1328
revisions. (John Arbash Meinel)
1329
1330
* ``bzr ls`` now accepts ``-V`` as an alias for ``--versioned``.
1331
(Jerad Cramp, #165086)
1332
1333
* ``bzr missing`` uses the new ``Graph.find_unique_ancestors`` and
1334
``Graph.find_differences`` to determine missing revisions without having
1335
to search the whole ancestry. (John Arbash Meinel, #174625)
1336
1337
* ``bzr uncommit`` now uses partial history access, rather than always
1338
extracting the full revision history for a branch. This makes it
1339
resolve the appropriate revisions much faster (in testing it drops
1340
uncommit from 1.5s => 0.4s). It also means ``bzr log --short`` is one
1341
step closer to not using full revision history.
1342
(John Arbash Meinel, #172649)
1343
1344
BUGFIXES:
1345
1346
* ``bzr merge --lca`` should handle when two revisions have no common
1347
ancestor other than NULL_REVISION. (John Arbash Meinel, #235715)
1348
1349
* ``bzr status`` was breaking if you merged the same revision twice.
1350
(John Arbash Meinel, #235407)
1351
1352
* ``bzr push`` with both ``--overwrite`` and ``-r NNN`` options no longer
1353
fails. (Andrew Bennetts, #234229)
1354
1355
* Correctly track the base URL of a smart medium when using bzr+http://
1356
URLs, which was causing spurious "No repository present" errors with
1357
branches in shared repositories accessed over bzr+http.
1358
(Andrew Bennetts, #230550)
1359
1360
* Define ``_remote_is_at_least_1_2`` on ``SmartClientMedium`` so that all
1361
implementations have the attribute. Fixes 'PyCurlTransport' object has no
1362
attribute '_remote_is_at_least_1_2' attribute errors.
1363
(Andrew Bennetts, #220806)
1364
1365
* Failure to delete an obsolete pack file should just give a warning
1366
message, not a fatal error. It may for example fail if the file is still
1367
in use by another process.
1368
(Martin Pool)
1369
1370
* Fix MemoryError during large fetches over HTTP by limiting the amount of
1371
data we try to read per ``recv`` call. The problem was observed with
1372
Windows and a proxy, but might affect other environments as well.
1373
(Eric Holmberg, #215426)
1374
1375
* Handle old merge directives correctly in Merger.from_mergeable. Stricter
1376
get_parent_map requirements exposed a latent bug here. (Aaron Bentley)
1377
1378
* Issue a warning and ignore passwords declared in authentication.conf when
1379
used for an ssh scheme (sftp or bzr+ssh).
1380
(Vincent Ladeuil, #203186)
1381
1382
* Make both http implementations raise appropriate exceptions on 403
1383
Forbidden when POSTing smart requests.
1384
(Vincent Ladeuil, #230223)
1385
1386
* Properly *title* header names in http requests instead of capitalizing
1387
them.
1388
(Vincent Ladeuil, #229076)
1389
1390
* The "Unable to obtain lock" error message now also suggests using
1391
``bzr break-lock`` to fix it. (Martin Albisetti, #139202)
1392
1393
* Treat an encoding of '' as ascii; this can happen when bzr is run
1394
under vim on Mac OS X.
1395
(Neil Martinsen-Burrell)
1396
1397
* ``VersionedFile.make_mpdiffs()`` was raising an exception that wasn't in
1398
scope. (Daniel Fischer #235687)
1399
1400
DOCUMENTATION:
1401
1402
* Added directory structure and started translation of docs in spanish.
1403
(Martin Albisetti, Lucio Albenga)
1404
1405
* Incorporate feedback from Jelmer Vernooij and Neil Martinsen-Burrell
1406
on the plugin and integration chapters of the User Guide.
1407
(Ian Clatworthy)
1408
1409
* More Bazaar developer documentation about packaging and release process,
1410
and about use of Python reprs.
1411
(Martin Pool, Martin Albisetti)
1412
1413
* Updated Tortise strategy document. (Mark Hammond)
1414
1415
TESTING:
1416
1417
* ``bzrlib.tests.adapt_tests`` was broken and unused - it has been fixed.
1418
(Robert Collins)
1419
1420
* Fix the test HTTPServer to be isolated from chdir calls made while it is
1421
running, allowing it to be used in blackbox tests. (Robert Collins)
1422
1423
* New helper function for splitting test suites
1424
``split_suite_by_condition``. (Robert Collins)
1425
1426
INTERNALS:
1427
1428
* ``Branch.missing_revisions`` has been deprecated. Similar functionality
1429
can be obtained using ``bzrlib.missing.find_unmerged``. The api was
1430
fairly broken, and the function was unused, so we are getting rid of it.
1431
(John Arbash Meinel)
1432
1433
API CHANGES:
1434
1435
* ``Branch.abspath`` is deprecated; use the Tree or Transport
1436
instead. (Martin Pool)
1437
1438
* ``Branch.update_revisions`` now takes an optional ``Graph``
1439
object. This can be used by ``update_revisions`` when it is
1440
checking ancestry, and allows callers to prefer request to go to a
1441
local branch. (John Arbash Meinel)
1442
1443
* Branch, Repository, Tree and BzrDir should expose a Transport as an
1444
attribute if they have one, rather than having it indirectly accessible
1445
as ``.control_files._transport``. This doesn't add a requirement
1446
to support a Transport in cases where it was not needed before;
1447
it just simplifies the way it is reached. (Martin Pool)
1448
1449
* ``bzr missing --mine-only`` will return status code 0 if you have no
1450
new revisions, but the remote does. Similarly for ``--theirs-only``.
1451
The new code only checks one side, so it doesn't know if the other
1452
side has changes. This seems more accurate with the request anyway.
1453
It also changes the output to print '[This|Other] branch is up to
1454
date.' rather than displaying nothing. (John Arbash Meinel)
1455
1456
* ``LockableFiles.put_utf8``, ``put_bytes`` and ``controlfilename``
1457
are now deprecated in favor of using Transport operations.
1458
(Martin Pool)
1459
1460
* Many methods on ``VersionedFile``, ``Repository`` and in
1461
``bzrlib.revision`` deprecated before bzrlib 1.5 have been removed.
1462
(Robert Collins)
1463
1464
* ``RevisionSpec.wants_revision_history`` can be set to False for a given
1465
``RevisionSpec``. This will disable the existing behavior of passing in
1466
the full revision history to ``self._match_on``. Useful for specs that
1467
don't actually need access to the full history. (John Arbash Meinel)
1468
1469
* The constructors of ``SmartClientMedium`` and its subclasses now require a
1470
``base`` parameter. ``SmartClientMedium`` implementations now also need
1471
to provide a ``remote_path_from_transport`` method. (Andrew Bennetts)
1472
1473
* The default permissions for creating new files and directories
1474
should now be obtained from ``BzrDir._get_file_mode()`` and
1475
``_get_dir_mode()``, rather than from LockableFiles. The ``_set_file_mode``
1476
and ``_set_dir_mode`` variables on LockableFiles which were advertised
1477
as a way for plugins to control this are no longer consulted.
1478
(Martin Pool)
1479
1480
* ``VersionedFile.join`` is deprecated. This method required local
1481
instances of both versioned file objects and was thus hostile to being
1482
used for streaming from a smart server. The new get_record_stream and
1483
insert_record_stream are meant to efficiently replace this method.
1484
(Robert Collins)
1485
1486
* ``WorkingTree.set_parent_(ids/trees)`` will now filter out revisions
1487
which are in the ancestry of other revisions. So if you merge the same
1488
tree twice, or merge an ancestor of an existing merge, it will only
1489
record the newest. (If you merge a descendent, it will replace its
1490
ancestor). (John Arbash Meinel, #235407)
1491
1492
* ``WorkingTreeFormat2.stub_initialize_remote`` is now private.

1499
This release of Bazaar includes several updates to the documentation, and fixes
1500
to prepare for making rich root support the default format. Many bugs have been
1501
squashed, including fixes to log, bzr+ssh inter-operation with older servers.
1502
1503
CHANGES:
1504
1505
* Suppress deprecation warnings when bzrlib is a 'final' release. This way
1506
users of packaged software won't be bothered with DeprecationWarnings,
1507
but developers and testers will still see them. (John Arbash Meinel)
1508
1509
DOCUMENTATION:
1510
1511

NOTES WHEN UPGRADING:
1520
1521
CHANGES:
1522
1523
* Broader support of GNU Emacs mail clients. Set
1524
``mail_client=emacsclient`` in your bazaar.conf and ``send`` will pop the
1525
bundle in a mail buffer according to the value of ``mail-user-agent``
1526
variable. (Xavier Maillard)
1527
1528
FEATURES:
1529
1530
IMPROVEMENTS:
1531
1532
* Diff now handles revision specs like "branch:" and "submit:" more
1533
efficiently. (Aaron Bentley, #202928)
1534
1535
* More friendly error given when attempt to start the smart server
1536
on an address already in use. (Andrea Corbellini, #200575)
1537
1538
* Pull completes much faster when there is nothing to pull.
1539
(Aaron Bentley)
1540
1541
BUGFIXES:
1542
1543
* Authentication.conf can define sections without password.
1544
(Vincent Ladeuil, #199440)
1545
1546
* Avoid muttering every time a child update does not cause a progress bar
1547
update. (John Arbash Meinel, #213771)
1548
1549
* ``Branch.reconcile()`` is now implemented. This allows ``bzr reconcile``
1550
to fix when a Branch has a non-canonical mainline history. ``bzr check``
1551
also detects this condition. (John Arbash Meinel, #177855)
1552
1553
* ``bzr log -r ..X bzr://`` was failing, because it was getting a request
1554
for ``revision_id=None`` which was not a string.
1555
(John Arbash Meinel, #211661)
1556
1557
* ``bzr commit`` now works with Microsoft's FTP service.
1558
(Andreas Deininger)
1559
1560
* Catch definitions outside sections in authentication.conf.
1561
(Vincent Ladeuil, #217650)
1562
1563
* Conversion from non-rich-root to rich-root(-pack) updates inventory
1564
sha1s, even when bundles are used. (Aaron Bentley, #181391)
1565
1566
* Conversion from non-rich-root to rich-root(-pack) works correctly even
1567
though search keys are not topologically sorted. (Aaron Bentley)
1568
1569
* Conversion from non-rich-root to rich-root(-pack) works even when a
1570
parent revision has a different root id. (Aaron Bentley, #177874)
1571
1572
* Disable strace testing until strace is fixed (see bug #103133) and emit a
1573
warning when selftest ends to remind us of leaking tests.
1574
(Vincent Ladeuil, #226769)
1575
1576
* Fetching all revisions from a repository does not cause pack collisions.
1577
(Robert Collins, Aaron Bentley, #212908)
1578
1579
* Fix error about "attempt to add line-delta in non-delta knit".
1580
(Andrew Bennetts, #217701)
1581
1582
* Pushing a branch in "dirstate" format (Branch5) over bzr+ssh would break
1583
if the remote server was < version 1.2. This was due to a bug in the
1584
RemoteRepository.get_parent_map() fallback code.
1585
(John Arbash Meinel, #214894)
1586
1587
* Remove leftover code in ``bzr_branch`` that inappropriately creates
1588
a ``branch-name`` file in the branch control directory.
1589
(Martin Pool)
1590
1591
* Set SO_REUSEADDR on server sockets of ``bzr serve`` to avoid problems
1592
rebinding the socket when starting the server a second time.
1593
(John Arbash Meinel, Martin Pool, #164288)
1594
1595
* Severe performance degradation in fetching from knit repositories to
1596
knits and packs due to parsing the entire revisions.kndx on every graph
1597
walk iteration fixed by using the Repository.get_graph API. There was
1598
another regression in knit => knit fetching which re-read the index for
1599
every revision each side had in common.
1600
(Robert Collins, John Arbash Meinel)
1601
1602
* When logging the changes to a particular file, there was a bug if there
1603
were ghosts in the revision ancestry. (John Arbash Meinel, #209948)
1604
1605
* xs4all's ftp server returns a temporary error when trying to list an
1606
empty directory, rather than returning an empty list. Adding a
1607
workaround so that we don't get spurious failures.
1608
(John Arbash Meinel, #215522)
1609
1610
DOCUMENTATION:
1611
1612
* Expanded the User Guide to include new chapters on popular plugins and
1613
integrating Bazaar into your environment. The *Best practices* chapter
1614
was renamed to *Miscellaneous topics* as suggested by community
1615
feedback as well. (Ian Clatworthy)
1616
1617
* Document outlining strategies for TortoiseBzr. (Mark Hammond)
1618
1619
* Improved the documentation on hooks. (Ian Clatworthy)
1620
1621
* Update authentication docs regarding ssh agents.
1622
(Vincent Ladeuil, #183705)
1623
1624
TESTING:
1625
1626
* Add ``thread_name_suffix`` parameter to SmartTCPServer_for_testing, to
1627
make it easy to identify which test spawned a thread with an unhandled
1628
exception. (Andrew Bennetts)
1629
1630
* New ``--debugflag``/``-E`` option to ``bzr selftest`` for setting
1631
options for debugging tests, these are complementary to the the -D
1632
options. The ``-Dselftest_debug`` global option has been replaced by the
1633
``-E=allow_debug`` option for selftest. (Andrew Bennetts)
1634
1635
* Parameterised test ids are preserved correctly to aid diagnosis of test
1636
failures. (Robert Collins, Andrew Bennetts)
1637
1638
* selftest now accepts --starting-with <id> to load only the tests whose id
1639
starts with the one specified. This greatly speeds up running the test
1640
suite on a limited set of tests and can be used to run the tests for a
1641
single module, a single class or even a single test. (Vincent Ladeuil)
1642
1643
* The test suite modules have been modified to define load_tests() instead
1644
of test_suite(). That speeds up selective loading (via --load-list)
1645
significantly and provides many examples on how to migrate (grep for
1646
load_tests). (Vincent Ladeuil)
1647
1648
INTERNALS:
1649
1650
* ``Hooks.install_hook`` is now deprecated in favour of
1651
``Hooks.install_named_hook`` which adds a required ``name`` parameter, to
1652
avoid having to call ``Hooks.name_hook``. (Daniel Watkins)
1653
1654
* Implement xml8 serializer. (Aaron Bentley)
1655
1656
* New form ``@deprecated_method(deprecated_in(1, 5, 0))`` for making
1657
deprecation wrappers. (Martin Pool)
1658
1659
* ``Repository.revision_parents`` is now deprecated in favour of
1660
``Repository.get_parent_map([revid])[revid]``. (Jelmer Vernooij)
1661
1662
* The Python ``assert`` statement is no longer used in Bazaar source, and
1663
a test checks this. (Martin Pool)
1664
1665
API CHANGES:
1666
1667
* ``bzrlib.status.show_pending_merges`` requires the repository to be
1668
locked by the caller. Callers should have been doing it anyway, but it
1669
will now raise an exception if they do not. (John Arbash Meinel)
1670
1671
* Repository.get_data_stream, Repository.get_data_stream_for_search(),
1672
Repository.get_deltas_for_revsions(), Repository.revision_trees(),
1673
Repository.item_keys_introduced_by() no longer take read locks.
1674
(Aaron Bentley)
1675
1676
* ``LockableFiles.get_utf8`` and ``.get`` are deprecated, as a start
1677
towards removing LockableFiles and ``.control_files`` entirely.
1678
(Martin Pool)
1679
1680
* Methods deprecated prior to 1.1 have been removed.

1685
------------------
1686
1687
This release of Bazaar includes handy improvements to the speed of log and
1688
status, new options for several commands, improved documentation, and better
1689
hooks, including initial code for server-side hooks. A number of bugs have
1690
been fixed, particularly in interoperability between different formats or
1691
different releases of Bazaar over there network. There's been substantial
1692
internal work in both the repository and network code to enable new features
1693
and faster performance.
1694
1695
BUG FIXES:
1696
1697
* Pushing a branch in "dirstate" format (Branch5) over bzr+ssh would break
1698
if the remote server was < version 1.2. This was due to a bug in the
1699
RemoteRepository.get_parent_map() fallback code.

1710
(John Arbash Meinel, #211661)

1715
* Fix error about "attempt to add line-delta in non-delta knit".

CHANGES:
1730
1731
* bzr main script cannot be imported (Benjamin Peterson)
1732
1733
* On Linux bzr additionally looks for plugins in arch-independent site
1734
directory. (Toshio Kuratomi)
1735
1736
* The ``set_rh`` branch hook is now deprecated. Please migrate
1737
any plugins using this hook to use an alternative, e.g.
1738
``post_change_branch_tip``. (Ian Clatworthy)
1739
1740
* When a plugin cannot be loaded as the file path is not a valid
1741
python module name bzr will now strip a ``bzr_`` prefix from the
1742
front of the suggested name, as many plugins (e.g. bzr-svn)
1743
want to be installed without this prefix. It is a common mistake
1744
to have a folder named "bzr-svn" for that plugin, especially
1745
as this is what bzr branch lp:bzr-svn will give you. (James Westby,
1746
Andrew Cowie)
1747
1748
* UniqueIntegerBugTracker now appends bug-ids instead of joining
1749
them to the base URL. Plugins that register bug trackers may
1750
need a trailing / added to the base URL if one is not already there.
1751
(James Wesby, Andrew Cowie)
1752
1753
FEATURES:
1754
1755
* Added start_commit hook for mutable trees. (Jelmer Vernooij, #186422)
1756
1757
* ``status`` now accepts ``--no-pending`` to show the status without
1758
listing pending merges, which speeds up the command a lot on large
1759
histories. (James Westby, #202830)
1760
1761
* New ``post_change_branch_tip`` hook that is called after the
1762
branch tip is moved but while the branch is still write-locked.
1763
See the User Reference for signature details.
1764
(Ian Clatworthy, James Henstridge)
1765
1766
* Reconfigure can convert a branch to be standalone or to use a shared
1767
repository. (Aaron Bentley)
1768
1769
IMPROVEMENTS:
1770
1771
* The smart protocol now has support for setting branches' revision info
1772
directly. This should make operations like push slightly faster, and is a
1773
step towards server-side hooks. The new request method name is
1774
``Branch.set_last_revision_info``. (Andrew Bennetts)
1775
1776
* ``bzr commit --fixes`` now recognises "gnome" as a tag by default.
1777
(James Westby, Andrew Cowie)
1778
1779
* ``bzr switch`` will attempt to find branches to switch to relative to the
1780
current branch. E.g. ``bzr switch branchname`` will look for
1781
``current_branch/../branchname``. (Robert Collins, Jelmer Vernooij,
1782
Wouter van Heyst)
1783
1784
* Diff is now more specific about execute-bit changes it describes
1785
(Chad Miller)
1786
1787
* Fetching data over HTTP is a bit faster when urllib is used. This is done
1788
by forcing it to recv 64k at a time when reading lines in HTTP headers,
1789
rather than just 1 byte at a time. (Andrew Bennetts)
1790
1791
* Log --short and --line are much faster when -r is not specified.
1792
(Aaron Bentley)
1793
1794
* Merge is faster. We no longer check a file's existence unnecessarily
1795
when merging the execute bit. (Aaron Bentley)
1796
1797
* ``bzr status`` on an explicit list of files no longer shows pending
1798
merges, making it much faster on large trees. (John Arbash Meinel)
1799
1800
* The launchpad directory service now warns the user if they have not set
1801
their launchpad login and are trying to resolve a URL using it, just
1802
in case they want to do a write operation with it. (James Westby)
1803
1804
* The smart protocol client is slightly faster, because it now only queries
1805
the server for the protocol version once per connection. Also, the HTTP
1806
transport will now automatically probe for and use a smart server if
1807
one is present. You can use the new ``nosmart+`` transport decorator
1808
to get the old behaviour. (Andrew Bennetts)
1809
1810
* The ``version`` command takes a ``--short`` option to print just the
1811
version number, for easier use in scripts. (Martin Pool)
1812
1813
* Various operations with revision specs and commands that calculate
1814
revnos and revision ids are faster. (John A. Meinel, Aaron Bentley)
1815
1816
BUGFIXES:
1817
1818
* Add ``root_client_path`` parameter to SmartWSGIApp and
1819
SmartServerRequest. This makes it possible to publish filesystem
1820
locations that don't exactly match URL paths. SmartServerRequest
1821
subclasses should use the new ``translate_client_path`` and
1822
``transport_from_client_path`` methods when dealing with paths received
1823
from a client to take this into account. (Andrew Bennetts, #124089)
1824
1825
* ``bzr mv a b`` can be now used also to rename previously renamed
1826
directories, not only files. (Lukáš Lalinský, #107967)
1827
1828
* ``bzr uncommit --local`` can now remove revisions from the local
1829
branch to be symmetric with ``bzr commit --local``.
1830
(John Arbash Meinel, #93412)
1831
1832
* Don't ask for a password if there is no real terminal.
1833
(Alexander Belchenko, #69851)
1834
1835
* Fix a bug causing a ValueError crash in ``parse_line_delta_iter`` when
1836
fetching revisions from a knit to pack repository or vice versa using
1837
bzr:// (including over http or ssh).
1838
(#208418, Andrew Bennetts, Martin Pool, Robert Collins)
1839
1840
* Fixed ``_get_line`` in ``bzrlib.smart.medium``, which was buggy. Also
1841
fixed ``_get_bytes`` in the same module to use the push back buffer.
1842
These bugs had no known impact in normal use, but were problematic for
1843
developers working on the code, and were likely to cause real bugs sooner
1844
or later. (Andrew Bennetts)
1845
1846
* Implement handling of basename parameter for DefaultMail. (James Westby)
1847
1848
* Incompatibility with Paramiko versions newer than 1.7.2 was fixed.
1849
(Andrew Bennetts, #213425)
1850
1851
* Launchpad locations (lp: URLs) can be pulled. (Aaron Bentley, #181945)
1852
1853
* Merges that add files to deleted root directories complete. They
1854

1855
1856
* vsftp's return ``550 RNFR command failed.`` supported.
1857

DOCUMENTATION:
1860
1861
* Improved documentation on send/merge relationship. (Peter Schuller)
1862
1863
* Minor fixes to the User Guide. (Matthew Fuller)
1864
1865
* Reduced the evangelism in the User Guide. (Ian Clatworthy)
1866
1867
* Added Integrating with Bazaar document for developers (Martin Albisetti)
1868
1869
API BREAKS:
1870
1871
* Attempting to pull data from a ghost aware repository (e.g. knits) into a
1872
non-ghost aware repository such as weaves will now fail if there are
1873
ghosts. (Robert Collins)
1874
1875
* ``KnitVersionedFile`` no longer accepts an ``access_mode`` parameter, and
1876
now requires the ``index`` and ``access_method`` parameters to be
1877
supplied. A compatible shim has been kept in the new function
1878
``knit.make_file_knit``. (Robert Collins)
1879
1880
* Log formatters must now provide log_revision instead of show and
1881
show_merge_revno methods. The latter had been deprecated since the 0.17
1882
release. (James Westby)
1883
1884
* ``LoopbackSFTP`` is now called ``SocketAsChannelAdapter``.
1885
(Andrew Bennetts)
1886
1887
* ``osutils.backup_file`` is removed. (Alexander Belchenko)
1888
1889
* ``Repository.get_revision_graph`` is deprecated, with no replacement
1890
method. The method was size(history) and not desirable. (Robert Collins)
1891
1892
* ``revision.revision_graph`` is deprecated, with no replacement function.
1893
The function was size(history) and not desirable. (Robert Collins)
1894
1895
* ``Transport.get_shared_medium`` is deprecated. Use
1896
``Transport.get_smart_medium`` instead. (Andrew Bennetts)
1897
1898
* ``VersionedFile`` factories now accept a get_scope parameter rather
1899
than using a call to ``transaction_finished``, allowing the removal of
1900
the fixed list of versioned files per repository. (Robert Collins)
1901
1902
* ``VersionedFile.annotate_iter`` is deprecated. While in principle this
1903
allowed lower memory use, all users of annotations wanted full file
1904
annotations, and there is no storage format suitable for incremental
1905
line-by-line annotation. (Robert Collins)
1906
1907
* ``VersionedFile.clone_text`` is deprecated. This performance optimisation
1908
is no longer used - reading the content of a file that is undergoing a
1909
file level merge to identical state on two branches is rare enough, and
1910
not expensive enough to special case. (Robert Collins)
1911
1912
* ``VersionedFile.clear_cache`` and ``enable_cache`` are deprecated.
1913
These methods added significant complexity to the ``VersionedFile``
1914
implementation, but were only used for optimising fetches from knits -
1915
which can be done from outside the knit layer, or via a caching
1916
decorator. As knits are not the default format, the complexity is no
1917
longer worth paying. (Robert Collins)
1918
1919
* ``VersionedFile.create_empty`` is removed. This method presupposed a
1920
sensible mapping to a transport for individual files, but pack backed
1921
versioned files have no such mapping. (Robert Collins)
1922
1923
* ``VersionedFile.get_graph`` is deprecated, with no replacement method.
1924
The method was size(history) and not desirable. (Robert Collins)
1925
1926
* ``VersionedFile.get_graph_with_ghosts`` is deprecated, with no
1927
replacement method. The method was size(history) and not desirable.
1928
(Robert Collins)
1929
1930
* ``VersionedFile.get_parents`` is deprecated, please use
1931
``VersionedFile.get_parent_map``. (Robert Collins)
1932
1933
* ``VersionedFile.get_sha1`` is deprecated, please use
1934
``VersionedFile.get_sha1s``. (Robert Collins)
1935
1936
* ``VersionedFile.has_ghost`` is now deprecated, as it is both expensive
1937
and unused outside of a single test. (Robert Collins)
1938
1939
* ``VersionedFile.iter_parents`` is now deprecated in favour of
1940
``get_parent_map`` which can be used to instantiate a Graph on a
1941
VersionedFile. (Robert Collins)
1942
1943
* ``VersionedFileStore`` no longer uses the transaction parameter given
1944
to most methods; amongst other things this means that the
1945
get_weave_or_empty method no longer guarantees errors on a missing weave
1946
in a readonly transaction, and no longer caches versioned file instances
1947
which reduces memory pressure (but requires more careful management by
1948
callers to preserve performance). (Robert Collins)
1949
1950
TESTING:
1951
1952
* New -Dselftest_debug flag disables clearing of the debug flags during
1953
tests. This is useful if you want to use e.g. -Dhpss to help debug a
1954
failing test. Be aware that using this feature is likely to cause
1955
spurious test failures if used with the full suite. (Andrew Bennetts)
1956
1957
* selftest --load-list now uses a new more agressive test loader that will
1958
avoid loading unneeded modules and building their tests. Plugins can use
1959
this new loader by defining a load_tests function instead of a test_suite
1960
function. (a forthcoming patch will provide many examples on how to
1961
implement this).
1962
(Vincent Ladeuil)
1963
1964
* selftest --load-list now does some sanity checks regarding duplicate test
1965
IDs and tests present in the list but not found in the actual test suite.
1966
(Vincent Ladeuil)
1967
1968
* Slightly more concise format for the selftest progress bar, so there's
1969
more space to show the test name. (Martin Pool) ::
1970
1971
[2500/10884, 1fail, 3miss in 1m29s] test_revisionnamespaces.TestRev
1972
1973
* The test suite takes much less memory to run, and is a bit faster. This
1974
is done by clearing most attributes of TestCases after running them, if
1975
they succeeded. (Andrew Bennetts)
1976
1977
INTERNALS:
1978
1979
* Added ``_build_client_protocol`` to ``_SmartClient``. (Andrew Bennetts)
1980
1981
* Added basic infrastructure for automatic plugin suggestion.
1982
(Martin Albisetti)
1983
1984
* If a ``LockableFiles`` object is not explicitly unlocked (for example
1985
because of a missing ``try/finally`` block, it will give a warning but
1986
not automatically unlock itself. (Previously they did.) This
1987
sometimes caused knock-on errors if for example the network connection
1988
had already failed, and should not be relied upon by code.
1989
(Martin Pool, #109520)
1990
1991
* ``make dist`` target to build a release tarball, and also
1992
``check-dist-tarball`` and ``dist-upload-escudero``. (Martin Pool)
1993
1994
* The ``read_response_tuple`` method of ``SmartClientRequestProtocol*``
1995
classes will now raise ``UnknownSmartMethod`` when appropriate, so that
1996
callers don't need to try distinguish unknown request errors from other
1997
errors. (Andrew Bennetts)
1998
1999
* ``set_make_working_trees`` is now implemented provided on all repository
2000
implementations (Aaron Bentley)
2001
2002
* ``VersionedFile`` now has a new method ``get_parent_map`` which, like
2003
``Graph.get_parent_map`` returns a dict of key:parents. (Robert Collins)

2024
------------------
2025
2026
Bazaar has become part of the GNU project <http://www.gnu.org>
2027
2028
Many operations that act on history, including ``log`` and ``annotate`` are now
2029
substantially faster. Several bugs have been fixed and several new options and
2030
features have been added.
2031
2032
TESTING:
2033
2034
* Avoid spurious failure of ``TestVersion.test_version`` matching
2035

NOTES WHEN UPGRADING:
2043
2044
* The backup directory created by ``upgrade`` is now called
2045
``backup.bzr``, not ``.bzr.backup``. (Martin Albisetti)
2046
2047
CHANGES:
2048
2049
* A new repository format 'development' has been added. This format will
2050
represent the latest 'in-progress' format that the bzr developers are
2051
interested in getting early-adopter testing and feedback on.
2052
``doc/developers/development-repo.txt`` has detailed information.
2053
(Robert Collins)
2054
2055
* BZR_LOG environment variable controls location of .bzr.log trace file.
2056
User can suppress writing messages to .bzr.log by using '/dev/null'
2057
filename (on Linux) or 'NUL' (on Windows). If BZR_LOG variable
2058
is not defined but BZR_HOME is defined then default location
2059
for .bzr.log trace file is ``$BZR_HOME/.bzr.log``.
2060
(Alexander Belchenko)
2061
2062
* ``launchpad`` builtin plugin now shipped as separate part in standalone
2063
bzr.exe, installed to ``C:\Program Files\Bazaar\plugins`` directory,
2064
and standalone installer allows user to skip installation of this plugin.
2065
(Alexander Belchenko)
2066
2067
* Restore auto-detection of plink.exe on Windows. (Dmitry Vasiliev)
2068
2069
* Version number is now shown as "1.2" or "1.2pr2", without zeroed or
2070
missing final fields. (Martin Pool)
2071
2072
FEATURES:
2073
2074
* ``branch`` and ``checkout`` can hard-link working tree files, which is
2075
faster and saves space. (Aaron Bentley)
2076
2077
* ``bzr send`` will now also look at the ``child_submit_to`` setting in
2078
the submit branch to determine the email address to send to.
2079
(Jelmer Vernooij)
2080
2081
IMPROVEMENTS:
2082
2083
* BzrBranch._lefthand_history is faster on pack repos. (Aaron Bentley)
2084
2085
* Branch6.generate_revision_history is faster. (Aaron Bentley)
2086
2087
* Directory services can now be registered, allowing special URLs to be
2088
dereferenced into real URLs. This is a generalization and cleanup of
2089
the lp: transport lookup. (Aaron Bentley)
2090
2091
* Merge directives that are automatically attached to emails have nicer
2092
filenames, based on branch-nick + revno. (Aaron Bentley)
2093
2094
* ``push`` has a ``--revision`` option, to specify what revision to push up
2095
to. (Daniel Watkins)
2096
2097
* Significantly reducing execution time and network traffic for trivial
2098
case of running ``bzr missing`` command for two identical branches.
2099
(Alexander Belchenko)
2100
2101
* Speed up operations that look at the revision graph (such as 'bzr log').
2102
``KnitPackRepositor.get_revision_graph`` uses ``Graph.iter_ancestry`` to
2103
extract the revision history. This allows filtering ghosts while
2104
stepping instead of needing to peek ahead. (John Arbash Meinel)
2105
2106
* The ``hooks`` command lists installed hooks, to assist in debugging.
2107
(Daniel Watkins)
2108
2109
* Updates to how ``annotate`` work. Should see a measurable improvement in
2110
performance and memory consumption for file with a lot of merges.
2111
Also, correctly handle when a line is introduced by both parents (it
2112
should be attributed to the first merge which notices this, and not
2113
to all subsequent merges.) (John Arbash Meinel)
2114
2115
BUGFIXES:
2116
2117
* Autopacking no longer holds the full set of inventory lines in
2118
memory while copying. For large repositories, this can amount to
2119
hundreds of MB of ram consumption.
2120
(Ian Clatworthy, John Arbash Meinel)
2121
2122
* Cherrypicking when using ``--format=merge3`` now explictly excludes
2123
BASE lines. (John Arbash Meinel, #151731)
2124
2125
* Disable plink's interactive prompt for password.
2126
(#107593, Dmitry Vasiliev)
2127
2128
* Encode command line arguments from unicode to user_encoding before
2129
invoking external mail client in `bzr send` command.
2130
(#139318, Alexander Belchenko)
2131
2132
* Fixed problem connecting to ``bzr+https://`` servers.
2133
(#198793, John Ferlito)
2134
2135
* Improved error reporting in the Launchpad plugin. (Daniel Watkins,
2136
#196618)
2137
2138
* Include quick-start-summary.svg file to python-based installer(s)
2139
for Windows. (#192924, Alexander Belchenko)
2140
2141
* lca merge now respects specified files. (Aaron Bentley)
2142
2143
* Make version-info --custom imply --all. (#195560, James Westby)
2144
2145
* ``merge --preview`` now works for merges that add or modify
2146
symlinks (James Henstridge)
2147
2148
* Redirecting the output from ``bzr merge`` (when the remembered
2149
location is used) now works. (John Arbash Meinel)
2150
2151
* setup.py script explicitly checks for Python version.
2152
(Jari Aalto, Alexander Belchenko, #200569)
2153
2154
* UnknownFormatErrors no longer refer to branches regardless of kind of
2155
unknown format. (Daniel Watkins, #173980)
2156
2157
* Upgrade bundled ConfigObj to version 4.5.2, which properly quotes #
2158
signs, among other small improvements. (Matt Nordhoff, #86838)
2159
2160
* Use correct indices when emitting LCA conflicts. This fixes IndexError
2161
errors. (Aaron Bentley, #196780)
2162
2163
DOCUMENTATION:
2164
2165
* Explained how to use ``version-info --custom`` in the User Guide.
2166
(Neil Martinsen-Burrell)
2167
2168
API BREAKS:
2169
2170
* Support for loading plugins from zip files and
2171
``bzrlib.plugin.load_from_zip()`` function are deprecated.
2172
(Alexander Belchenko)
2173
2174
TESTING:
2175
2176
* Added missing blackbox tests for ``modified`` (Adrian Wilkins)
2177
2178
* The branch interface tests were invalid for branches using rich-root
2179
repositories because the empty string is not a valid file-id.
2180
(Robert Collins)
2181
2182
INTERNALS:
2183
2184
* ``Graph.iter_ancestry`` returns the ancestry of revision ids. Similar to
2185
``Repository.get_revision_graph()`` except it includes ghosts and you can
2186
stop part-way through. (John Arbash Meinel)
2187
2188
* New module ``tools/package_mf.py`` provide custom module finder for
2189
python packages (improves standard python library's modulefinder.py)
2190
used by ``setup.py`` script while building standalone bzr.exe.
2191
(Alexander Belchenko)
2192
2193
* New remote method ``RemoteBzrDir.find_repositoryV2`` adding support for
2194
detecting external lookup support on remote repositories. This method is
2195
now attempted first when lookup up repositories, leading to an extra
2196
round trip on older bzr smart servers. (Robert Collins)
2197
2198
* Repository formats have a new supported-feature attribute
2199
``supports_external_lookups`` used to indicate repositories which support
2200
falling back to other repositories when they have partial data.
2201
(Robert Collins)
2202
2203
* ``Repository.get_revision_graph_with_ghosts`` and
2204
``bzrlib.revision.(common_ancestor,MultipleRevisionSources,common_graph)``
2205
have been deprecated. (John Arbash Meinel)
2206
2207
* ``Tree.iter_changes`` is now a public API, replacing the work-in-progress
2208
``Tree._iter_changes``. The api is now considered stable and ready for
2209
external users. (Aaron Bentley)
2210
2211
* The bzrdir format registry now accepts an ``alias`` keyword to
2212
register_metadir, used to indicate that a format name is an alias for
2213
some other format and thus should not be reported when describing the
2214
format. (Robert Collins)

2228
NOTES WHEN UPGRADING:
2229
2230
* Fetching via the smart protocol may need to reconnect once during a fetch
2231
if the remote server is running Bazaar 1.1 or earlier, because the client
2232
attempts to use more efficient requests that confuse older servers. You
2233
may be required to re-enter a password or passphrase when this happens.
2234
This won't happen if the server is upgraded to Bazaar 1.2.
2235
(Andrew Bennetts)
2236
2237
CHANGES:
2238
2239
* Fetching via bzr+ssh will no longer fill ghosts by default (this is
2240
consistent with pack-0.92 fetching over SFTP). (Robert Collins)
2241
2242
* Formatting of ``bzr plugins`` output is changed to be more human-
2243
friendly. Full path of plugins locations will be shown only with
2244
``--verbose`` command-line option. (Alexander Belchenko)
2245
2246
* ``merge`` now prefers to use the submit branch, but will fall back to
2247
parent branch. For many users, this has no effect. But some users who
2248
pull and merge on the same branch will notice a change. This change
2249
makes it easier to work on a branch on two different machines, pulling
2250
between the machines, while merging from the upstream.
2251
``merge --remember`` can now be used to set the submit_branch.
2252
(Aaron Bentley)
2253
2254
FEATURES:
2255
2256
* ``merge --preview`` produces a diff of the changes merge would make,
2257
but does not actually perform the merge. (Aaron Bentley)
2258
2259
* New smart method ``Repository.get_parent_map`` for getting revision
2260
parent data. This returns additional parent information topologically
2261
adjacent to the requested data to reduce round trip latency impacts.
2262
(Robert Collins)
2263
2264
* New smart method, ``Repository.stream_revisions_chunked``, for fetching
2265
revision data that streams revision data via a chunked encoding. This
2266
avoids buffering large amounts of revision data on the server and on the
2267
client, and sends less data to the server to request the revisions.
2268
(Andrew Bennetts, Robert Collins, #178353)
2269
2270
* The launchpad plugin now handles lp urls of the form
2271
``lp://staging/``, ``lp://demo/``, ``lp://dev/`` to use the appropriate
2272
launchpad instance to do the resolution of the branch identities.
2273
This is primarily of use to Launchpad developers, but can also
2274
be used by other users who want to try out Launchpad as
2275
a branch location without messing up their public Launchpad
2276
account. Branches that are pushed to the staging environment
2277
have an expected lifetime of one day. (Tim Penhey)
2278
2279
IMPROVEMENTS:
2280
2281
* Creating a new branch no longer tries to read the entire revision-history
2282
unnecessarily over smart server operations. (Robert Collins)
2283
2284
* Fetching between different repository formats with compatible models now
2285
takes advantage of the smart method to stream revisions. (Andrew Bennetts)
2286
2287
* The ``--coverage`` option is now global, rather specific to ``bzr
2288
selftest``. (Andrew Bennetts)
2289
2290
* The ``register-branch`` command will now use the public url of the branch
2291
containing the current directory, if one has been set and no explicit
2292
branch is provided. (Robert Collins)
2293
2294
* Tweak the ``reannotate`` code path to optimize the 2-parent case.
2295
Speeds up ``bzr annotate`` with a pack repository by approx 3:2.
2296
(John Arbash Meinel)
2297
2298
BUGFIXES:
2299
2300
* Calculate remote path relative to the shared medium in _SmartClient. This
2301
is related to the problem in bug #124089. (Andrew Bennetts)
2302
2303
* Cleanly handle connection errors in smart protocol version two, the same
2304
way as they are handled by version one. (Andrew Bennetts)
2305
2306
* Clearer error when ``version-info --custom`` is used without
2307
``--template`` (Lukáš Lalinský)
2308
2309
* Don't raise UnavailableFeature during test setup when medusa is not
2310
available or tearDown is never called leading to nasty side effects.
2311
(#137823, Vincent Ladeuil)
2312
2313
* If a plugin's test suite cannot be loaded, for example because of a syntax
2314
error in the tests, then ``selftest`` fails, rather than just printing
2315
a warning. (Martin Pool, #189771)
2316
2317
* List possible values for BZR_SSH environment variable in env-variables
2318
help topic. (Alexander Belchenko, #181842)
2319
2320
* New methods ``push_log_file`` and ``pop_log_file`` to intercept messages:
2321
popping the log redirection now precisely restores the previous state,
2322
which makes it easier to use bzr log output from other programs.
2323
TestCaseInTempDir no longer depends on a log redirection being established
2324
by the test framework, which lets bzr tests cleanly run from a normal
2325
unittest runner.
2326
(#124153, #124849, Martin Pool, Jonathan Lange)
2327
2328
* ``pull --quiet`` is now more quiet, in particular a message is no longer
2329
printed when the remembered pull location is used. (James Westby,
2330
#185907)
2331
2332
* ``reconfigure`` can safely be interrupted while fetching.
2333
(Aaron Bentley, #179316)
2334
2335
* ``reconfigure`` preserves tags when converting to and from lightweight
2336
checkouts. (Aaron Bentley, #182040)
2337
2338
* Stop polluting /tmp when running selftest.
2339
(Vincent Ladeuil, #123623)
2340
2341
* Switch from NFKC => NFC for normalization checks. NFC allows a few
2342
more characters which should be considered valid.
2343
(John Arbash Meinel, #185458)
2344
2345
* The launchpad plugin now uses the ``edge`` xmlrpc server to avoid
2346
interacting badly with a bug on the launchpad side. (Robert Collins)
2347
2348
* Unknown hostnames when connecting to a ``bzr://`` URL no longer cause
2349
tracebacks. (Andrew Bennetts, #182849)
2350
2351
API BREAKS:
2352
2353
* Classes implementing Merge types like Merge3Merger must now accept (and
2354
honour) a do_merge flag in their constructor. (Aaron Bentley)
2355
2356
* ``Repository.add_inventory`` and ``add_revision`` now require the caller
2357
to previously take a write lock (and start a write group.)
2358
(Martin Pool)
2359
2360
TESTING:
2361
2362
* selftest now accepts --load-list <file> to load a test id list. This
2363
speeds up running the test suite on a limited set of tests.
2364
(Vincent Ladeuil)
2365
2366
INTERNALS:
2367
2368
* Add a new method ``get_result`` to graph search objects. The resulting
2369
``SearchResult`` can be used to recreate the search later, which will
2370
be useful in reducing network traffic. (Robert Collins)
2371
2372
* Use convenience function to check whether two repository handles
2373
are referring to the same repository in ``Repository.get_graph``.
2374
(Jelmer Vernooij, #187162)
2375
2376
* Fetching now passes the find_ghosts flag through to the
2377
``InterRepository.missing_revision_ids`` call consistently for all
2378
repository types. This will enable faster missing revision discovery with
2379
bzr+ssh. (Robert Collins)
2380
2381
* Fix error handling in Repository.insert_data_stream. (Lukas Lalinsky)
2382
2383
* ``InterRepository.missing_revision_ids`` is now deprecated in favour of
2384
``InterRepository.search_missing_revision_ids`` which returns a
2385
``bzrlib.graph.SearchResult`` suitable for making requests from the smart
2386
server. (Robert Collins)
2387
2388
* New error ``NoPublicBranch`` for commands that need a public branch to
2389
operate. (Robert Collins)
2390
2391
* New method ``iter_inventories`` on Repository for access to many
2392
inventories. This is primarily used by the ``revision_trees`` method, as
2393
direct access to inventories is discouraged. (Robert Collins)
2394
2395
* New method ``next_with_ghosts`` on the Graph breadth-first-search objects
2396
which will split out ghosts and present parents into two separate sets,
2397
useful for code which needs to be aware of ghosts (e.g. fetching data
2398
cares about ghosts during revision selection). (Robert Collins)
2399
2400
* Record a timestamp against each mutter to the trace file, relative to the
2401
first import of bzrlib. (Andrew Bennetts)
2402
2403
* ``Repository.get_data_stream`` is now deprecated in favour of
2404
``Repository.get_data_stream_for_search`` which allows less network
2405
traffic when requesting data streams over a smart server. (Robert Collins)
2406
2407
* ``RemoteBzrDir._get_tree_branch`` no longer triggers ``_ensure_real``,
2408
removing one round trip on many network operations. (Robert Collins)
2409
2410
* RemoteTransport's ``recommended_page_size`` method now returns 64k, like
2411
SFTPTransport and HttpTransportBase. (Andrew Bennetts)
2412
2413
* Repository has a new method ``has_revisions`` which signals the presence
2414
of many revisions by returning a set of the revisions listed which are
2415
present. This can be done by index queries without reading data for parent
2416
revision names etc. (Robert Collins)

2425
---------------------
2426
2427
CHANGES:
2428
2429
* Dotted revision numbers have been revised. Instead of growing longer with
2430
nested branches the branch number just increases. (eg instead of 1.1.1.1.1
2431
we now report 1.2.1.) This helps scale long lived branches which have many
2432
feature branches merged between them. (John Arbash Meinel)
2433
2434
* The syntax ``bzr diff branch1 branch2`` is no longer supported.
2435
Use ``bzr diff branch1 --new branch2`` instead. This change has
2436
been made to remove the ambiguity where ``branch2`` is in fact a
2437
specific file to diff within ``branch1``.
2438
2439
FEATURES:
2440
2441
* New option to use custom template-based formats in ``bzr version-info``.
2442
(Lukáš Lalinský)
2443
2444
* diff '--using' allows an external diff tool to be used for files.
2445
(Aaron Bentley)
2446
2447
* New "lca" merge-type for fast everyday merging that also supports
2448
criss-cross merges. (Aaron Bentley)
2449
2450
IMPROVEMENTS:
2451
2452
* ``annotate`` now doesn't require a working tree. (Lukáš Lalinský,
2453
#90049)
2454
2455
* ``branch`` and ``checkout`` can now use files from a working tree to
2456
to speed up the process. For checkout, this requires the new
2457
--files-from flag. (Aaron Bentley)
2458
2459
* ``bzr diff`` now sorts files in alphabetical order. (Aaron Bentley)
2460
2461
* ``bzr diff`` now works on branches without working trees. Tree-less
2462
branches can also be compared to each other and to working trees using
2463
the new diff options ``--old`` and ``--new``. Diffing between branches,
2464
with or without trees, now supports specific file filtering as well.
2465
(Ian Clatworthy, #6700)
2466
2467
* ``bzr pack`` now orders revision texts in topological order, with newest
2468
at the start of the file, promoting linear reads for ``bzr log`` and the
2469
like. This partially fixes #154129. (Robert Collins)
2470
2471
* Merge directives now fetch prerequisites from the target branch if
2472
needed. (Aaron Bentley)
2473
2474
* pycurl now handles digest authentication.
2475
(Vincent Ladeuil)
2476
2477
* ``reconfigure`` can now convert from repositories. (Aaron Bentley)
2478
2479
* ``-l`` is now a short form for ``--limit`` in ``log``. (Matt Nordhoff)
2480
2481
* ``merge`` now warns when merge directives cause cherrypicks.
2482
(Aaron Bentley)
2483
2484
* ``split`` now supported, to enable splitting large trees into smaller
2485
pieces. (Aaron Bentley)
2486
2487
BUGFIXES:
2488
2489
* Avoid AttributeError when unlocking a pack repository when an error occurs.
2490
(Martin Pool, #180208)
2491
2492
* Better handle short reads when processing multiple range requests.
2493
(Vincent Ladeuil, #179368)
2494
2495
* build_tree acceleration uses the correct path when a file has been moved.
2496
(Aaron Bentley)
2497
2498
* ``commit`` now succeeds when a checkout and its master branch share a
2499
repository. (Aaron Bentley, #177592)
2500
2501
* Fixed error reporting of unsupported timezone format in
2502
``log --timezone``. (Lukáš Lalinský, #178722)
2503
2504
* Fixed Unicode encoding error in ``ignored`` when the output is
2505
redirected to a pipe. (Lukáš Lalinský)
2506
2507
* Fix traceback when sending large response bodies over the smart protocol
2508
on Windows. (Andrew Bennetts, #115781)
2509
2510
* Fix ``urlutils.relative_url`` for the case of two ``file:///`` URLs
2511
pointed to different logical drives on Windows.
2512
(Alexander Belchenko, #90847)
2513
2514
* HTTP test servers are now compatible with the http protocol version 1.1.
2515
(Vincent Ladeuil, #175524)
2516
2517
* _KnitParentsProvider.get_parent_map now handles requests for ghosts
2518
correctly, instead of erroring or attributing incorrect parents to ghosts.
2519
(Aaron Bentley)
2520
2521
* ``merge --weave --uncommitted`` now works. (Aaron Bentley)
2522
2523
* pycurl authentication handling was broken and incomplete. Fix handling of
2524
user:pass embedded in the urls.
2525
(Vincent Ladeuil, #177643)
2526
2527
* Files inside non-directories are now handled like other conflict types.
2528
(Aaron Bentley, #177390)
2529
2530
* ``reconfigure`` is able to convert trees into lightweight checkouts.
2531
(Aaron Bentley)
2532
2533
* Reduce lockdir timeout to 0 when running ``bzr serve``. (Andrew Bennetts,
2534
#148087)
2535
2536
* Test that the old ``version_info_format`` functions still work, even
2537
though they are deprecated. (John Arbash Meinel, ShenMaq, #177872)
2538
2539
* Transform failures no longer cause ImmortalLimbo errors (Aaron Bentley,
2540
#137681)
2541
2542
* ``uncommit`` works even when the commit messages of revisions to be
2543
removed use characters not supported in the terminal encoding.
2544
(Aaron Bentley)
2545
2546
* When dumb http servers return whole files instead of the requested ranges,
2547
read the remaining bytes by chunks to avoid overflowing network buffers.
2548
(Vincent Ladeuil, #175886)
2549
2550
DOCUMENTATION:
2551
2552
* Minor tweaks made to the bug tracker integration documentation.
2553
(Ian Clatworthy)
2554
2555
* Reference material has now be moved out of the User Guide and added
2556
to the User Reference. The User Reference has gained 4 sections as
2557
a result: Authenication Settings, Configuration Settings, Conflicts
2558
and Hooks. All help topics are now dumped into text format in the
2559
doc/en/user-reference directory for those who like browsing that
2560
information in their editor. (Ian Clatworthy)
2561
2562
* *Using Bazaar with Launchpad* tutorial added. (Ian Clatworthy)
2563
2564
INTERNALS:
2565
2566
* find_* methods available for BzrDirs, Branches and WorkingTrees.
2567

2568
2569
* Help topics can now be loaded from files.
2570
(Ian Clatworthy, Alexander Belchenko)
2571
2572
* get_parent_map now always provides tuples as its output. (Aaron Bentley)
2573
2574
* Parent Providers should now implement ``get_parent_map`` returning a
2575
dictionary instead of ``get_parents`` returning a list.
2576
``Graph.get_parents`` is now deprecated. (John Arbash Meinel,
2577
Robert Collins)
2578
2579
* Patience Diff now supports arbitrary python objects, as long as they
2580
support ``hash()``. (John Arbash Meinel)
2581
2582
* Reduce selftest overhead to establish test names by memoization.

(Vincent Ladeuil)
2584
2585
API BREAKS:

2587
TESTING:
2588
2589
* Modules can now customise their tests by defining a ``load_tests``
2590
attribute. ``pydoc bzrlib.tests.TestUtil.TestLoader.loadTestsFromModule``
2591
for the documentation on this attribute. (Robert Collins)
2592
2593
* New helper function ``bzrlib.tests.condition_id_re`` which helps
2594
filter tests based on a regular expression search on the tests id.
2595
(Robert Collins)
2596
2597
* New helper function ``bzrlib.tests.condition_isinstance`` which helps
2598
filter tests based on class. (Robert Collins)
2599
2600
* New helper function ``bzrlib.tests.exclude_suite_by_condition`` which
2601
generalises the ``exclude_suite_by_re`` function. (Robert Collins)
2602
2603
* New helper function ``bzrlib.tests.filter_suite_by_condition`` which
2604
generalises the ``filter_suite_by_re`` function. (Robert Collins)
2605
2606
* New helper method ``bzrlib.tests.exclude_tests_by_re`` which gives a new
2607
TestSuite that does not contain tests from the input that matched a
2608
regular expression. (Robert Collins)
2609
2610
* New helper method ``bzrlib.tests.randomize_suite`` which returns a
2611
randomized copy of the input suite. (Robert Collins)
2612
2613
* New helper method ``bzrlib.tests.split_suite_by_re`` which splits a test
2614
suite into two according to a regular expression. (Robert Collins)
2615
2616
* Parametrize all http tests for the transport implementations, the http
2617
protocol versions (1.0 and 1.1) and the authentication schemes.
2618
(Vincent Ladeuil)
2619
2620
* The ``exclude_pattern`` and ``random_order`` parameters to the function
2621
``bzrlib.tests.filter_suite_by_re`` have been deprecated. (Robert Collins)
2622
2623
* The method ``bzrlib.tests.sort_suite_by_re`` has been deprecated. It is
2624
replaced by the new helper methods added in this release. (Robert Collins)

BUGFIXES:
2655
2656
* Fix Makefile rules for doc generation. (Ian Clatworthy, #175207)
2657
2658
* Give more feedback during long http downloads by making readv deliver data
2659
as it arrives for urllib, and issue more requests for pycurl. High latency
2660
networks are better handled by urllib, the pycurl implementation give more
2661
feedback but also incur more latency.
2662
(Vincent Ladeuil, #173010)
2663
2664

* ``bzr commit`` now doesn't print the revision number twice. (Matt
2693
Nordhoff, #172612)

2695
* New configuration option ``bugtracker_<tracker_abbrevation>_url`` to
2696
define locations of bug trackers that are not directly supported by
2697
bzr or a plugin. The URL will be treated as a template and ``{id}``
2698

2699
2700
* Support logging single merge revisions with short and line log formatters.
2701

2706
* Quick Start Guide renamed to Quick Start Card, moved down in
2707
the catalog, provided in pdf and png format and updated to refer
2708
to ``send`` instead of ``bundle``. (Ian Clatworthy, #165080)
2709
2710
* ``switch`` can now be used on heavyweight checkouts as well as
2711
lightweight ones. After switching a heavyweight checkout, the
2712
local branch is a mirror/cache of the new bound branch and
2713
uncommitted changes in the working tree are merged. As a safety
2714
check, if there are local commits in a checkout which have not
2715
been committed to the previously bound branch, then ``switch``
2716
fails unless the ``--force`` option is given. This option is
2717
now also required if the branch a lightweight checkout is pointing
2718
to has been moved. (Ian Clatworthy)

2733
filename to user.
2734
(Alexander Belchenko, #111758)
2735
2736
* Catch ShortReadvErrors while using pycurl. Also make readv more robust by
2737
allowing multiple GET requests to be issued if too many ranges are
2738
required.
2739
(Vincent Ladeuil, #172701)

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

2756
NOTES WHEN UPGRADING:
2757
2758
* The default repository format is now ``pack-0.92``. This
2759
default is used when creating new repositories with ``init`` and
2760
``init-repo``, and when branching over bzr+ssh or bzr+hpss.
2761
(See https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/164626)
2762
2763
This format can be read and written by Bazaar 0.92 and later, and
2764
data can be transferred to and from older formats.
2765
2766
To upgrade, please reconcile your repository (``bzr reconcile``), and then
2767
upgrade (``bzr upgrade``).
2768
2769
``pack-0.92`` offers substantially better scaling and performance than the
2770
previous knits format. Some operations are slower where the code already
2771
had bad scaling characteristics under knits, the pack format makes such
2772
operations more visible as part of being more scalable overall. We will
2773
correct such operations over the coming releases and encourage the filing
2774
of bugs on any operation which you observe to be slower in a packs
2775
repository. One particular case that we do not intend to fix is pulling
2776
data from a pack repository into a knit repository over a high latency
2777
link; downgrading such data requires reinsertion of the file texts, and
2778
this is a classic space/time tradeoff. The current implementation is
2779
conservative on memory usage because we need to support converting data
2780
from any tree without problems.
2781
(Robert Collins, Martin Pool, #164476)

CHANGES:

2785
* Disable detection of plink.exe as possible ssh vendor. Plink vendor
2786
still available if user selects it explicitly with BZR_SSH environment
2787
variable. (Alexander Belchenko, workaround for bug #107593)
2788
2789
* The pack format is now accessible as "pack-0.92", or "pack-0.92-subtree"
2790
to enable the subtree functions (for example, for bzr-svn).

supported transports.
2799
(Vincent Ladeuil)
2800
2801
* New rich-root and rich-root-pack formats, recording the same data about
2802
tree roots that's recorded for all other directories.
2803
(Aaron Bentley, #164639)
2804
2805
* ``pack-0.92`` repositories can now be reconciled.
2806
(Robert Collins, #154173)
2807
2808
* ``switch`` command added for changing the branch a lightweight checkout
2809
is associated with and updating the tree to reflect the latest content
2810
accordingly. This command was previously part of the BzrTools plug-in.
2811
(Ian Clatworthy, Aaron Bentley, David Allouche)
2812
2813
* ``reconfigure`` command can now convert branches, trees, or checkouts to
2814
lightweight checkouts. (Aaron Bentley)
2815
2816
PERFORMANCE:
2817
2818
* Commit updates the state of the working tree via a delta rather than
2819
supplying entirely new basis trees. For commit of a single specified file
2820
this reduces the wall clock time for commit by roughly a 30%.
2821
(Robert Collins, Martin Pool)
2822
2823
* Commit with many automatically found deleted paths no longer performs
2824
linear scanning for the children of those paths during inventory
2825
iteration. This should fix commit performance blowing out when many such
2826
paths occur during commit. (Robert Collins, #156491)
2827
2828
* Fetch with pack repositories will no longer read the entire history graph.
2829
(Robert Collins, #88319)
2830
2831
* Revert takes out an appropriate lock when reverting to a basis tree, and
2832
does not read the basis inventory twice. (Robert Collins)
2833
2834
* Diff does not require an inventory to be generated on dirstate trees.
2835
(Aaron Bentley, #149254)
2836
2837
* New annotate merge (--merge-type=weave) implementation is fast on
2838
versionedfiles withough cached annotations, e.g. pack-0.92.
2839
(Aaron Bentley)
2840
2841
IMPROVEMENTS:
2842
2843
* ``bzr merge`` now warns when it encounters a criss-cross merge.
2844
(Aaron Bentley)
2845
2846
* ``bzr send`` now doesn't require the target e-mail address to be
2847
specified on the command line if an interactive e-mail client is used.
2848
(Lukáš Lalinský)
2849
2850
* ``bzr tags`` now prints the revision number for each tag, instead of
2851
the revision id, unless --show-ids is passed. In addition, tags can be
2852
sorted chronologically instead of lexicographically with --sort=time.
2853
(Adeodato Simó, #120231)
2854
2855
* Windows standalone version of bzr is able to load system-wide plugins from
2856
"plugins" subdirectory in installation directory. In addition standalone
2857
installer write to the registry (HKLM\SOFTWARE\Bazaar) useful info
2858
about paths and bzr version. (Alexander Belchenko, #129298)

DOCUMENTATION:
2861
2862
BUG FIXES:
2863
2864
* A progress bar has been added for knitpack -> knitpack fetching.
2865
(Robert Collins, #157789, #159147)
2866
2867
* Branching from a branch via smart server now preserves the repository
2868
format. (Andrew Bennetts, #164626)
2869
2870
* ``commit`` is now able to invoke an external editor in a non-ascii
2871
directory. (Daniel Watkins, #84043)
2872
2873
* Catch connection errors for ftp.
2874
(Vincent Ladeuil, #164567)
2875
2876
* ``check`` no longer reports spurious unreferenced text versions.
2877
(Robert Collins, John A Meinel, #162931, #165071)
2878
2879
* Conflicts are now resolved recursively by ``revert``.
2880
(Aaron Bentley, #102739)
2881
2882
* Detect invalid transport reuse attempts by catching invalid URLs.
2883
(Vincent Ladeuil, #161819)
2884
2885
* Deleting a file without removing it shows a correct diff, not a traceback.
2886
(Aaron Bentley)
2887
2888
* Do no use timeout in HttpServer anymore.
2889
(Vincent Ladeuil, #158972).
2890
2891
* Don't catch the exceptions related to the http pipeline status before
2892
retrying an http request or some programming errors may be masked.
2893
(Vincent Ladeuil, #160012)
2894
2895
* Fix ``bzr rm`` to not delete modified and ignored files.
2896
(Lukáš Lalinský, #172598)
2897
2898
* Fix exception when revisionspec contains merge revisons but log
2899
formatter doesn't support merge revisions. (Kent Gibson, #148908)
2900
2901
* Fix exception when ScopeReplacer is assigned to before any members have
2902
been retrieved. (Aaron Bentley)
2903
2904
* Fix multiple connections during checkout --lightweight.
2905
(Vincent Ladeuil, #159150)
2906
2907
* Fix possible error in insert_data_stream when copying between
2908
pack repositories over bzr+ssh or bzr+http.
2909
KnitVersionedFile.get_data_stream now makes sure that requested
2910
compression parents are sent before any delta hunks that depend
2911
on them.
2912
(Martin Pool, #164637)
2913
2914
* Fix typo in limiting offsets coalescing for http, leading to
2915
whole files being downloaded instead of parts.
2916
(Vincent Ladeuil, #165061)
2917
2918
* FTP server errors don't error in the error handling code.
2919
(Robert Collins, #161240)
2920
2921
* Give a clearer message when a pull fails because the source needs
2922
to be reconciled.
2923
(Martin Pool, #164443)
2924
2925
* It is clearer when a plugin cannot be loaded because of its name, and a
2926
suggestion for an acceptable name is given. (Daniel Watkins, #103023)
2927
2928
* Leave port as None in transport objects if user doesn't
2929
specify a port in urls.
2930
(vincent Ladeuil, #150860)
2931
2932
* Make sure Repository.fetch(self) is properly a no-op for all
2933
Repository implementations. (John Arbash Meinel, #158333)
2934
2935
* Mark .bzr directories as "hidden" on Windows.
2936
(Alexander Belchenko, #71147)
2937
2938
* ``merge --uncommitted`` can now operate on a single file.
2939
(Aaron Bentley, Lukáš Lalinský, #136890)
2940
2941
* Obsolete packs are now cleaned up by pack and autopack operations.
2942
(Robert Collins, #153789)
2943
2944
* Operations pulling data from a smart server where the underlying
2945
repositories are not both annotated/both unannotated will now work.
2946
(Robert Collins, #165304).
2947
2948
* Reconcile now shows progress bars. (Robert Collins, #159351)
2949
2950
* ``RemoteBranch`` was not initializing ``self._revision_id_to_revno_map``
2951
properly. (John Arbash Meinel, #162486)
2952
2953
* Removing an already-removed file reports the file does not exist. (Daniel
2954
Watkins, #152811)
2955
2956
* Rename on Windows is able to change filename case.
2957
(Alexander Belchenko, #77740)
2958
2959
* Return error instead of a traceback for ``bzr log -r0``.
2960
(Kent Gibson, #133751)
2961
2962
* Return error instead of a traceback when bzr is unable to create
2963
symlink on some platforms (e.g. on Windows).
2964
(Alexander Belchenko, workaround for #81689)
2965
2966
* Revert doesn't crash when restoring a single file from a deleted
2967
directory. (Aaron Bentley)
2968
2969
* Stderr output via logging mechanism now goes through encoded wrapper
2970
and no more uses utf-8, but terminal encoding instead. So all unicode
2971
strings now should be readable in non-utf-8 terminal.
2972
(Alexander Belchenko, #54173)
2973
2974
* The error message when ``move --after`` should be used makes how to do so
2975
clearer. (Daniel Watkins, #85237)
2976
2977
* Unicode-safe output from ``bzr info``. The output will be encoded
2978
using the terminal encoding and unrepresentable characters will be
2979
replaced by '?'. (Lukáš Lalinský, #151844)
2980
2981
* Working trees are no longer created when pushing into a local no-trees
2982
repo. (Daniel Watkins, #50582)
2983
2984
* Upgrade util/configobj to version 4.4.0.
2985
(Vincent Ladeuil, #151208).
2986
2987
* Wrap medusa ftp test server as an FTPServer feature.
2988
(Vincent Ladeuil, #157752)
2989
2990
API BREAKS:
2991
2992
* ``osutils.backup_file`` is deprecated. Actually it's not used in bzrlib
2993
during very long time. (Alexander Belchenko)
2994
2995
* The return value of
2996
``VersionedFile.iter_lines_added_or_present_in_versions`` has been
2997
changed. Previously it was an iterator of lines, now it is an iterator of
2998
(line, version_id) tuples. This change has been made to aid reconcile and
2999
fetch operations. (Robert Collins)
3000
3001
* ``bzrlib.repository.get_versioned_file_checker`` is now private.
3002
(Robert Collins)
3003
3004
* The Repository format registry default has been removed; it was previously
3005
obsoleted by the bzrdir format default, which implies a default repository
3006
format.
3007
(Martin Pool)
3008
3009
INTERNALS:
3010
3011
* Added ``ContainerSerialiser`` and ``ContainerPushParser`` to
3012
``bzrlib.pack``. These classes provide more convenient APIs for generating
3013
and parsing containers from streams rather than from files. (Andrew
3014
Bennetts)
3015
3016
* New module ``lru_cache`` providing a cache for use by tasks that need
3017
semi-random access to large amounts of data. (John A Meinel)
3018
3019
* InventoryEntry.diff is now deprecated. Please use diff.DiffTree instead.

NOTES WHEN UPGRADING:
3036
3037
CHANGES:
3038
3039
* ``bzr`` now returns exit code 4 if an internal error occurred, and
3040
3 if a normal error occurred. (Martin Pool)
3041
3042
* ``pull``, ``merge`` and ``push`` will no longer silently correct some
3043
repository index errors that occured as a result of the Weave disk format.
3044
Instead the ``reconcile`` command needs to be run to correct those
3045
problems if they exist (and it has been able to fix most such problems
3046
since bzr 0.8). Some new problems have been identified during this release
3047
and you should run ``bzr check`` once on every repository to see if you
3048
need to reconcile. If you cannot ``pull`` or ``merge`` from a remote
3049
repository due to mismatched parent errors - a symptom of index errors -
3050
you should simply take a full copy of that remote repository to a clean
3051
directory outside any local repositories, then run reconcile on it, and
3052
finally pull from it locally. (And naturally email the repositories owner
3053
to ask them to upgrade and run reconcile).
3054
(Robert Collins)
3055
3056
FEATURES:
3057
3058
* New ``knitpack-experimental`` repository format. This is interoperable with
3059
the ``dirstate-tags`` format but uses a smarter storage design that greatly
3060
speeds up many operations, both local and remote. This new format can be
3061
used as an option to the ``init``, ``init-repository`` and ``upgrade``
3062
commands. See http://doc.bazaar-vcs.org/0.92/developers/knitpack.html
3063
for further details. (Robert Collins)
3064
3065
* For users of bzr-svn (and those testing the prototype subtree support) that
3066
wish to try packs, a new ``knitpack-subtree-experimental`` format has also
3067
been added. This is interoperable with the ``dirstate-subtrees`` format.
3068
(Robert Collins)
3069
3070
* New ``reconfigure`` command. (Aaron Bentley)
3071
3072
* New ``revert --forget-merges`` command, which removes the record of a pending
3073
merge without affecting the working tree contents. (Martin Pool)
3074
3075
* New ``bzr_remote_path`` configuration variable allows finer control of
3076
remote bzr locations than BZR_REMOTE_PATH environment variable.
3077
(Aaron Bentley)
3078
3079
* New ``launchpad-login`` command to tell Bazaar your Launchpad
3080
user ID. This can then be used by other functions of the
3081
Launchpad plugin. (James Henstridge)
3082
3083
PERFORMANCE:
3084
3085
* Commit in quiet mode is now slightly faster as the information to
3086
output is no longer calculated. (Ian Clatworthy)
3087
3088
* Commit no longer checks for new text keys during insertion when the
3089
revision id was deterministically unique. (Robert Collins)
3090
3091
* Committing a change which is not a merge and does not change the number of
3092
files in the tree is faster by utilising the data about whether files are
3093
changed to determine if the tree is unchanged rather than recalculating
3094
it at the end of the commit process. (Robert Collins)
3095
3096
* Inventory serialisation no longer double-sha's the content.
3097
(Robert Collins)
3098
3099
* Knit text reconstruction now avoids making copies of the lines list for
3100
interim texts when building a single text. The new ``apply_delta`` method
3101
on ``KnitContent`` aids this by allowing modification of the revision id
3102
such objects represent. (Robert Collins)
3103
3104
* Pack indices are now partially parsed for specific key lookup using a
3105
bisection approach. (Robert Collins)
3106
3107
* Partial commits are now approximately 40% faster by walking over the
3108
unselected current tree more efficiently. (Robert Collins)
3109
3110
* XML inventory serialisation takes 20% less time while being stricter about
3111
the contents. (Robert Collins)
3112
3113
* Graph ``heads()`` queries have been fixed to no longer access all history
3114
unnecessarily. (Robert Collins)
3115
3116
IMPROVEMENTS:
3117
3118
* ``bzr+https://`` smart server across https now supported.
3119
(John Ferlito, Martin Pool, #128456)
3120
3121
* Mutt is now a supported mail client; set ``mail_client=mutt`` in your
3122
bazaar.conf and ``send`` will use mutt. (Keir Mierle)
3123
3124
* New option ``-c``/``--change`` for ``merge`` command for cherrypicking
3125
changes from one revision. (Alexander Belchenko, #141368)
3126
3127
* Show encodings, locale and list of plugins in the traceback message.
3128
(Martin Pool, #63894)
3129
3130
* Experimental directory formats can now be marked with
3131
``experimental = True`` during registration. (Ian Clatworthy)
3132
3133
DOCUMENTATION:
3134
3135
* New *Bazaar in Five Minutes* guide. (Matthew Revell)
3136
3137
* The hooks reference documentation is now converted to html as expected.
3138
(Ian Clatworthy)
3139
3140
BUG FIXES:
3141
3142
* Connection error reporting for the smart server has been fixed to
3143
display a user friendly message instead of a traceback.
3144
(Ian Clatworthy, #115601)
3145
3146
* Make sure to use ``O_BINARY`` when opening files to check their
3147
sha1sum. (Alexander Belchenko, John Arbash Meinel, #153493)
3148
3149
* Fix a problem with Win32 handling of the executable bit.
3150
(John Arbash Meinel, #149113)
3151
3152
* ``bzr+ssh://`` and ``sftp://`` URLs that do not specify ports explicitly
3153
no longer assume that means port 22. This allows people using OpenSSH to
3154
override the default port in their ``~/.ssh/config`` if they wish. This
3155
fixes a bug introduced in bzr 0.91. (Andrew Bennetts, #146715)
3156
3157
* Commands reporting exceptions can now be profiled and still have their
3158
data correctly dumped to a file. For example, a ``bzr commit`` with
3159
no changes still reports the operation as pointless but doing so no
3160
longer throws away the profiling data if this command is run with
3161
``--lsprof-file callgrind.out.ci`` say. (Ian Clatworthy)
3162
3163
* Fallback to ftp when paramiko is not installed and sftp can't be used for
3164
``tests/commands`` so that the test suite is still usable without
3165
paramiko.
3166
(Vincent Ladeuil, #59150)
3167
3168
* Fix commit ordering in corner case. (Aaron Bentley, #94975)
3169
3170
* Fix long standing bug in partial commit when there are renames
3171
left in tree. (Robert Collins, #140419)
3172
3173
* Fix selftest semi-random noise during http related tests.
3174
(Vincent Ladeuil, #140614)
3175
3176
* Fix typo in ftp.py making the reconnection fail on temporary errors.
3177
(Vincent Ladeuil, #154259)
3178
3179
* Fix failing test by comparing real paths to cover the case where the TMPDIR
3180
contains a symbolic link.
3181
(Vincent Ladeuil, #141382).
3182
3183
* Fix log against smart server branches that don't support tags.
3184
(James Westby, #140615)
3185
3186
* Fix pycurl http implementation by defining error codes from
3187
pycurl instead of relying on an old curl definition.
3188
(Vincent Ladeuil, #147530)
3189
3190
* Fix 'unprintable error' message when displaying BzrCheckError and
3191
some other exceptions on Python 2.5.
3192
(Martin Pool, #144633)
3193
3194
* Fix ``Inventory.copy()`` and add test for it. (Jelmer Vernooij)
3195
3196
* Handles default value for ListOption in cmd_commit.
3197
(Vincent Ladeuil, #140432)
3198
3199
* HttpServer and FtpServer need to be closed properly or a listening socket
3200
will remain opened.
3201
(Vincent Ladeuil, #140055)
3202
3203
* Monitor the .bzr directory created in the top level test
3204
directory to detect leaking tests.
3205
(Vincent Ladeuil, #147986)
3206
3207
* The basename, not the full path, is now used when checking whether
3208
the profiling dump file begins with ``callgrind.out`` or not. This
3209
fixes a bug reported by Aaron Bentley on IRC. (Ian Clatworthy)
3210
3211
* Trivial fix for invoking command ``reconfigure`` without arguments.
3212
(Rob Weir, #141629)
3213
3214
* ``WorkingTree.rename_one`` will now raise an error if normalisation of the
3215
new path causes bzr to be unable to access the file. (Robert Collins)
3216
3217
* Correctly detect a NoSuchFile when using a filezilla server. (Gary van der
3218
Merwe)
3219
3220
API BREAKS:
3221
3222
* ``bzrlib.index.GraphIndex`` now requires a size parameter to the
3223
constructor, for enabling bisection searches. (Robert Collins)
3224
3225
* ``CommitBuilder.record_entry_contents`` now requires the root entry of a
3226
tree be supplied to it, previously failing to do so would trigger a
3227
deprecation warning. (Robert Collins)
3228
3229
* ``KnitVersionedFile.add*`` will no longer cache added records even when
3230
enable_cache() has been called - the caching feature is now exclusively for
3231
reading existing data. (Robert Collins)
3232
3233
* ``ReadOnlyLockError`` is deprecated; ``LockFailed`` is usually more
3234
appropriate. (Martin Pool)
3235
3236
* Removed ``bzrlib.transport.TransportLogger`` - please see the new
3237
``trace+`` transport instead. (Robert Collins)
3238
3239
* Removed previously deprecated varargs interface to ``TestCase.run_bzr`` and
3240
deprecated methods ``TestCase.capture`` and ``TestCase.run_bzr_captured``.
3241
(Martin Pool)
3242
3243
* Removed previous deprecated ``basis_knit`` parameter to the
3244
``KnitVersionedFile`` constructor. (Robert Collins)
3245
3246
* Special purpose method ``TestCase.run_bzr_decode`` is moved to the test_non_ascii
3247
class that needs it.
3248
(Martin Pool)
3249
3250
* The class ``bzrlib.repofmt.knitrepo.KnitRepository3`` has been folded into
3251
``KnitRepository`` by parameters to the constructor. (Robert Collins)
3252
3253
* The ``VersionedFile`` interface now allows content checks to be bypassed
3254
by supplying check_content=False. This saves nearly 30% of the minimum
3255
cost to store a version of a file. (Robert Collins)
3256
3257
* Tree's with bad state such as files with no length or sha will no longer
3258
be silently accepted by the repository XML serialiser. To serialise
3259
inventories without such data, pass working=True to write_inventory.
3260
(Robert Collins)
3261
3262
* ``VersionedFile.fix_parents`` has been removed as a harmful API.
3263
``VersionedFile.join`` will no longer accept different parents on either
3264
side of a join - it will either ignore them, or error, depending on the
3265
implementation. See notes when upgrading for more information.
3266
(Robert Collins)
3267
3268
INTERNALS:
3269
3270
* ``bzrlib.transport.Transport.put_file`` now returns the number of bytes
3271
put by the method call, to allow avoiding stat-after-write or
3272
housekeeping in callers. (Robert Collins)
3273
3274
* ``bzrlib.xml_serializer.Serializer`` is now responsible for checking that
3275
mandatory attributes are present on serialisation and deserialisation.
3276
This fixes some holes in API usage and allows better separation between
3277
physical storage and object serialisation. (Robert Collins)
3278
3279
* New class ``bzrlib.errors.InternalBzrError`` which is just a convenient
3280
shorthand for deriving from BzrError and setting internal_error = True.
3281
(Robert Collins)
3282
3283
* New method ``bzrlib.mutabletree.update_to_one_parent_via_delta`` for
3284
moving the state of a parent tree to a new version via a delta rather than
3285
a complete replacement tree. (Robert Collins)
3286
3287
* New method ``bzrlib.osutils.minimum_path_selection`` useful for removing
3288
duplication from user input, when a user mentions both a path and an item
3289
contained within that path. (Robert Collins)
3290
3291
* New method ``bzrlib.repository.Repository.is_write_locked`` useful for
3292
determining if a repository is write locked. (Robert Collins)
3293
3294
* New method on ``bzrlib.tree.Tree`` ``path_content_summary`` provides a
3295
tuple containing the key information about a path for commit processing
3296
to complete. (Robert Collins)
3297
3298
* New method on xml serialisers, write_inventory_to_lines, which matches the
3299
API used by knits for adding content. (Robert Collins)
3300
3301
* New module ``bzrlib.bisect_multi`` with generic multiple-bisection-at-once
3302
logic, currently only available for byte-based lookup
3303
(``bisect_multi_bytes``). (Robert Collins)
3304
3305
* New helper ``bzrlib.tuned_gzip.bytes_to_gzip`` which takes a byte string
3306
and returns a gzipped version of the same. This is used to avoid a bunch
3307
of api friction during adding of knit hunks. (Robert Collins)
3308
3309
* New parameter on ``bzrlib.transport.Transport.readv``
3310
``adjust_for_latency`` which changes readv from returning strictly the
3311
requested data to inserted return larger ranges and in forward read order
3312
to reduce the effect of network latency. (Robert Collins)
3313
3314
* New parameter yield_parents on ``Inventory.iter_entries_by_dir`` which
3315
causes the parents of a selected id to be returned recursively, so all the
3316
paths from the root down to each element of selected_file_ids are
3317
returned. (Robert Collins)
3318
3319
* Knit joining has been enhanced to support plain to annotated conversion
3320
and annotated to plain conversion. (Ian Clatworthy)
3321
3322
* The CommitBuilder method ``record_entry_contents`` now returns summary
3323
information about the effect of the commit on the repository. This tuple
3324
contains an inventory delta item if the entry changed from the basis, and a
3325
boolean indicating whether a new file graph node was recorded.
3326
(Robert Collins)
3327
3328
* The python path used in the Makefile can now be overridden.
3329
(Andrew Bennetts, Ian Clatworthy)
3330
3331
TESTING:
3332
3333
* New transport implementation ``trace+`` which is useful for testing,
3334
logging activity taken to its _activity attribute. (Robert Collins)
3335
3336
* When running bzr commands within the test suite, internal exceptions are
3337
not caught and reported in the usual way, but rather allowed to propagate
3338
up and be visible to the test suite. A new API ``run_bzr_catch_user_errors``
3339
makes this behavior available to other users.
3340
(Martin Pool)
3341
3342
* New method ``TestCase.call_catch_warnings`` for testing methods that
3343
raises a Python warning. (Martin Pool)

3349
BUG FIXES:
3350
3351
* Print a warning instead of aborting the ``python setup.py install``
3352
process if building of a C extension is not possible.
3353
(Lukáš Lalinský, Alexander Belchenko)
3354
3355
* Fix commit ordering in corner case (Aaron Bentley, #94975)
3356
3357
* Fix ''bzr info bzr://host/'' and other operations on ''bzr://' URLs with
3358
an implicit port. We were incorrectly raising PathNotChild due to
3359
inconsistent treatment of the ''_port'' attribute on the Transport object.
3360
(Andrew Bennetts, #133965)
3361
3362
* Make RemoteRepository.sprout cope gracefully with servers that don't
3363
support the ``Repository.tarball`` request.
3364
(Andrew Bennetts)

3366
3367
bzr 0.91rc2 2007-09-11
3368
----------------------
3369

3371
in bzrlib/remote.py.

3375
----------------------
3376
3377
CHANGES:
3378
3379
* The default branch and repository format has changed to
3380
``dirstate-tags``, so tag commands are active by default.
3381
This format is compatible with Bazaar 0.15 and later.
3382
This incidentally fixes bug #126141.
3383
(Martin Pool)
3384
3385
* ``--quiet`` or ``-q`` is no longer a global option. If present, it
3386
must now appear after the command name. Scripts doing things like
3387
``bzr -q missing`` need to be rewritten as ``bzr missing -q``.
3388
(Ian Clatworthy)
3389
3390
FEATURES:
3391
3392
* New option ``--author`` in ``bzr commit`` to specify the author of the
3393
change, if it's different from the committer. ``bzr log`` and
3394
``bzr annotate`` display the author instead of the committer.
3395
(Lukáš Lalinský)
3396
3397
* In addition to global options and command specific options, a set of
3398
standard options are now supported. Standard options are legal for
3399
all commands. The initial set of standard options are:
3400
3401
* ``--help`` or ``-h`` - display help message
3402
* ``--verbose`` or ``-v`` - display additional information
3403
* ``--quiet`` or ``-q`` - only output warnings and errors.
3404
3405
Unlike global options, standard options can be used in aliases and
3406
may have command-specific help. (Ian Clatworthy)
3407
3408
* Verbosity level processing has now been unified. If ``--verbose``
3409
or ``-v`` is specified on the command line multiple times, the
3410
verbosity level is made positive the first time then increased.
3411
If ``--quiet`` or ``-q`` is specified on the command line
3412
multiple times, the verbosity level is made negative the first
3413
time then decreased. To get the default verbosity level of zero,
3414
either specify none of the above , ``--no-verbose`` or ``--no-quiet``.
3415
Note that most commands currently ignore the magnitude of the
3416
verbosity level but do respect *quiet vs normal vs verbose* when
3417
generating output. (Ian Clatworthy)
3418
3419
* ``Branch.hooks`` now supports ``pre_commit`` hook. The hook's signature
3420
is documented in BranchHooks constructor. (Nam T. Nguyen, #102747)
3421
3422
* New ``Repository.stream_knit_data_for_revisions`` request added to the
3423
network protocol for greatly reduced roundtrips when retrieving a set of
3424
revisions. (Andrew Bennetts)
3425
3426
BUG FIXES:
3427
3428
* ``bzr plugins`` now lists the version number for each plugin in square
3429
brackets after the path. (Robert Collins, #125421)
3430
3431
* Pushing, pulling and branching branches with subtree references was not
3432
copying the subtree weave, preventing the file graph from being accessed
3433
and causing errors in commits in clones. (Robert Collins)
3434
3435
* Suppress warning "integer argument expected, got float" from Paramiko,
3436
which sometimes caused false test failures. (Martin Pool)
3437
3438
* Fix bug in bundle 4 that could cause attempts to write data to wrong
3439
versionedfile. (Aaron Bentley)
3440
3441
* Diffs generated using "diff -p" no longer break the patch parser.
3442
(Aaron Bentley)
3443
3444
* get_transport treats an empty possible_transports list the same as a non-
3445
empty one. (Aaron Bentley)
3446
3447
* patch verification for merge directives is reactivated, and works with
3448
CRLF and CR files. (Aaron Bentley)
3449
3450
* Accept ..\ as a path in revision specifiers. This fixes for example
3451
"-r branch:..\other-branch" on Windows. (Lukáš Lalinský)
3452
3453
* ``BZR_PLUGIN_PATH`` may now contain trailing slashes.
3454
(Blake Winton, #129299)
3455
3456
* man page no longer lists hidden options (#131667, Aaron Bentley)
3457
3458
* ``uncommit --help`` now explains the -r option adequately. (Daniel
3459
Watkins, #106726)
3460
3461
* Error messages are now better formatted with parameters (such as
3462
filenames) quoted when necessary. This avoids confusion when directory
3463
names ending in a '.' at the end of messages were confused with a
3464
full stop that may or not have been there. (Daniel Watkins, #129791)
3465
3466
* Fix ``status FILE -r X..Y``. (Lukáš Lalinský)
3467
3468
* If a particular command is an alias, ``help`` will show the alias
3469
instead of claiming there is no help for said alias. (Daniel Watkins,
3470
#133548)
3471
3472
* TreeTransform-based operations, like pull, merge, revert, and branch,
3473
now roll back if they encounter an error. (Aaron Bentley, #67699)
3474
3475
* ``bzr commit`` now exits cleanly if a character unsupported by the
3476
current encoding is used in the commit message. (Daniel Watkins,
3477
#116143)
3478
3479
* bzr send uses default values for ranges when only half of an elipsis
3480
is specified ("-r..5" or "-r5.."). (#61685, Aaron Bentley)
3481
3482
* Avoid trouble when Windows ssh calls itself 'plink' but no plink
3483
binary is present. (Martin Albisetti, #107155)
3484
3485
* ``bzr remove`` should remove clean subtrees. Now it will remove (without
3486
needing ``--force``) subtrees that contain no files with text changes or
3487
modified files. With ``--force`` it removes the subtree regardless of
3488
text changes or unknown files. Directories with renames in or out (but
3489
not changed otherwise) will now be removed without needing ``--force``.
3490
Unknown ignored files will be deleted without needing ``--force``.
3491
(Marius Kruger, #111665)
3492
3493
* When two plugins conflict, the source of both the losing and now the
3494
winning definition is shown. (Konstantin Mikhaylov, #5454)
3495
3496
* When committing to a branch, the location being committed to is
3497
displayed. (Daniel Watkins, #52479)
3498
3499
* ``bzr --version`` takes care about encoding of stdout, especially
3500
when output is redirected. (Alexander Belchenko, #131100)
3501
3502
* Prompt for an ftp password if none is provided.
3503
(Vincent Ladeuil, #137044)
3504
3505
* Reuse bound branch associated transport to avoid multiple
3506
connections.
3507
(Vincent Ladeuil, #128076, #131396)
3508
3509
* Overwrite conflicting tags by ``push`` and ``pull`` if the
3510
``--overwrite`` option is specified. (Lukáš Lalinský, #93947)
3511
3512
* In checkouts, tags are copied into the master branch when created,
3513
changed or deleted, and are copied into the checkout when it is
3514
updated. (Martin Pool, #93856, #93860)
3515
3516
* Print a warning instead of aborting the ``python setup.py install``
3517
process if building of a C extension is not possible.
3518
(Lukáš Lalinský, Alexander Belchenko)
3519
3520
IMPROVEMENTS:
3521
3522
* Add the option "--show-diff" to the commit command in order to display
3523
the diff during the commit log creation. (Goffredo Baroncelli)
3524
3525
* ``pull`` and ``merge`` are much faster at installing bundle format 4.
3526
(Aaron Bentley)
3527
3528
* ``pull -v`` no longer includes deltas, making it much faster.
3529
(Aaron Bentley)
3530
3531
* ``send`` now sends the directive as an attachment by default.
3532
(Aaron Bentley, Lukáš Lalinský, Alexander Belchenko)
3533
3534
* Documentation updates (Martin Albisetti)
3535
3536
* Help on debug flags is now included in ``help global-options``.
3537
(Daniel Watkins, #124853)
3538
3539
* Parameters passed on the command line are checked to ensure they are
3540
supported by the encoding in use. (Daniel Watkins)
3541
3542
* The compression used within the bzr repository has changed from zlib
3543
level 9 to the zlib default level. This improves commit performance with
3544
only a small increase in space used (and in some cases a reduction in
3545
space). (Robert Collins)
3546
3547
* Initial commit no longer SHAs files twice and now reuses the path
3548
rather than looking it up again, making it faster.
3549
(Ian Clatworthy)
3550
3551
* New option ``-c``/``--change`` for ``diff`` and ``status`` to show
3552
changes in one revision. (Lukáš Lalinský)
3553
3554
* If versioned files match a given ignore pattern, a warning is now
3555
given. (Daniel Watkins, #48623)
3556
3557
* ``bzr status`` now has -S as a short name for --short and -V as a
3558
short name for --versioned. These have been added to assist users
3559
migrating from Subversion: ``bzr status -SV`` is now like
3560
``svn status -q``. (Daniel Watkins, #115990)
3561
3562
* Added C implementation of ``PatienceSequenceMatcher``, which is about
3563
10x faster than the Python version. This speeds up commands that
3564
need file diffing, such as ``bzr commit`` or ``bzr diff``.
3565
(Lukáš Lalinský)
3566
3567
* HACKING has been extended with a large section on core developer tasks.
3568
(Ian Clatworthy)
3569
3570
* Add ``branches`` and ``standalone-trees`` as online help topics and
3571
include them as Concepts within the User Reference.
3572
(Paul Moore, Ian Clatworthy)
3573
3574
* ``check`` can detect versionedfile parent references that are
3575
inconsistent with revision and inventory info, and ``reconcile`` can fix
3576
them. These faulty references were generated by 0.8-era releases,
3577
so repositories which were manipulated by old bzrs should be
3578
checked, and possibly reconciled ASAP. (Aaron Bentley, Andrew Bennetts)
3579
3580
API BREAKS:
3581
3582
* ``Branch.append_revision`` is removed altogether; please use
3583
``Branch.set_last_revision_info`` instead. (Martin Pool)
3584
3585
* CommitBuilder now advertises itself as requiring the root entry to be
3586
supplied. This only affects foreign repository implementations which reuse
3587
CommitBuilder directly and have changed record_entry_contents to require
3588
that the root not be supplied. This should be precisely zero plugins
3589
affected. (Robert Collins)
3590
3591
* The ``add_lines`` methods on ``VersionedFile`` implementations has changed
3592
its return value to include the sha1 and length of the inserted text. This
3593
allows the avoidance of double-sha1 calculations during commit.
3594
(Robert Collins)
3595
3596
* ``Transport.should_cache`` has been removed. It was not called in the
3597
previous release. (Martin Pool)
3598
3599
TESTING:
3600
3601
* Tests may now raise TestNotApplicable to indicate they shouldn't be
3602
run in a particular scenario. (Martin Pool)
3603
3604
* New function multiply_tests_from_modules to give a simpler interface
3605
to test parameterization. (Martin Pool, Robert Collins)
3606
3607
* ``Transport.should_cache`` has been removed. It was not called in the
3608
previous release. (Martin Pool)
3609
3610
* NULL_REVISION is returned to indicate the null revision, not None.
3611
(Aaron Bentley)
3612
3613
* Use UTF-8 encoded StringIO for log tests to avoid failures on
3614
non-ASCII committer names. (Lukáš Lalinský)
3615
3616
INTERNALS:
3617
3618
* ``bzrlib.plugin.all_plugins`` has been deprecated in favour of
3619
``bzrlib.plugin.plugins()`` which returns PlugIn objects that provide
3620
useful functionality for determining the path of a plugin, its tests, and
3621
its version information. (Robert Collins)
3622
3623
* Add the option user_encoding to the function 'show_diff_trees()'
3624
in order to move the user encoding at the UI level. (Goffredo Baroncelli)
3625
3626
* Add the function make_commit_message_template_encoded() and the function
3627
edit_commit_message_encoded() which handle encoded strings.
3628
This is done in order to mix the commit messages (which is a unicode
3629
string), and the diff which is a raw string. (Goffredo Baroncelli)
3630
3631
* CommitBuilder now defaults to using add_lines_with_ghosts, reducing
3632
overhead on non-weave repositories which don't require all parents to be
3633
present. (Robert Collins)
3634
3635
* Deprecated method ``find_previous_heads`` on
3636
``bzrlib.inventory.InventoryEntry``. This has been superseded by the use
3637
of ``parent_candidates`` and a separate heads check via the repository
3638
API. (Robert Collins)
3639
3640
* New trace function ``mutter_callsite`` will print out a subset of the
3641
stack to the log, which can be useful for gathering debug details.
3642
(Robert Collins)
3643
3644
* ``bzrlib.pack.ContainerWriter`` now tracks how many records have been
3645
added via a public attribute records_written. (Robert Collins)
3646
3647
* New method ``bzrlib.transport.Transport.get_recommended_page_size``.
3648
This provides a hint to users of transports as to the reasonable
3649
minimum data to read. In principle this can take latency and
3650
bandwidth into account on a per-connection basis, but for now it
3651
just has hard coded values based on the url. (e.g. http:// has a large
3652
page size, file:// has a small one.) (Robert Collins)
3653
3654
* New method on ``bzrlib.transport.Transport`` ``open_write_stream`` allows
3655
incremental addition of data to a file without requiring that all the
3656
data be buffered in memory. (Robert Collins)
3657
3658
* New methods on ``bzrlib.knit.KnitVersionedFile``:
3659
``get_data_stream(versions)``, ``insert_data_stream(stream)`` and
3660
``get_format_signature()``. These provide some infrastructure for
3661
efficiently streaming the knit data for a set of versions over the smart
3662
protocol.
3663
3664
* Knits with no annotation cache still produce correct annotations.
3665
(Aaron Bentley)
3666
3667
* Three new methods have been added to ``bzrlib.trace``:
3668
``set_verbosity_level``, ``get_verbosity_level`` and ``is_verbose``.
3669
``set_verbosity_level`` expects a numeric value: negative for quiet,
3670
zero for normal, positive for verbose. The size of the number can be
3671
used to determine just how quiet or verbose the application should be.
3672
The existing ``be_quiet`` and ``is_quiet`` routines have been
3673
integrated into this new scheme. (Ian Clatworthy)
3674
3675
* Options can now be delcared with a ``custom_callback`` parameter. If
3676
set, this routine is called after the option is processed. This feature
3677
is now used by the standard options ``verbose`` and ``quiet`` so that
3678
setting one implicitly resets the other. (Ian Clatworthy)
3679
3680
* Rather than declaring a new option from scratch in order to provide
3681
custom help, a centrally registered option can be decorated using the
3682
new ``bzrlib.Option.custom_help`` routine. In particular, this routine
3683
is useful when declaring better help for the ``verbose`` and ``quiet``
3684
standard options as the base definition of these is now more complex
3685
than before thanks to their use of a custom callback. (Ian Clatworthy)
3686
3687
* Tree._iter_changes(specific_file=[]) now iterates through no files,
3688
instead of iterating through all files. None is used to iterate through
3689
all files. (Aaron Bentley)
3690
3691
* WorkingTree.revert() now accepts None to revert all files. The use of
3692
[] to revert all files is deprecated. (Aaron Bentley)

-------------------
3697
3698
IMPROVEMENTS:
3699
3700
* Documentation is now organized into multiple directories with a level
3701
added for different languages or locales. Added the Mini Tutorial
3702
and Quick Start Summary (en) documents from the Wiki, improving the
3703
content and readability of the former. Formatted NEWS as Release Notes
3704
complete with a Table of Conents, one heading per release. Moved the
3705
Developer Guide into the main document catalog and provided a link
3706
from the developer document catalog back to the main one.

3710
API CHANGES:
3711
3712
* The static convenience method ``BzrDir.create_repository``
3713
is deprecated. Callers should instead create a ``BzrDir`` instance
3714
and call ``create_repository`` on that. (Martin Pool)

3718
----------------------
3719
3720
BUGFIXES:
3721
3722
* ``bzr init`` should connect to the remote location one time only. We
3723
have been connecting several times because we forget to pass around the
3724
Transport object. This modifies ``BzrDir.create_branch_convenience``,
3725
so that we can give it the Transport we already have.
3726
(John Arbash Meinel, Vincent Ladeuil, #111702)
3727
3728
* Get rid of sftp connection cache (get rid of the FTP one too).
3729
(Vincent Ladeuil, #43731)
3730
3731
* bzr branch {local|remote} remote don't try to create a working tree
3732
anymore.
3733
(Vincent Ladeuil, #112173)
3734
3735
* All identified multiple connections for a single bzr command have been
3736
fixed. See bzrlib/tests/commands directory.
3737
(Vincent Ladeuil)
3738
3739
* ``bzr rm`` now does not insist on ``--force`` to delete files that
3740
have been renamed but not otherwise modified. (Marius Kruger,
3741
#111664)
3742
3743
* ``bzr selftest --bench`` no longer emits deprecation warnings
3744
(Lukáš Lalinský)
3745
3746
* ``bzr status`` now honours FILE parameters for conflict lists
3747
(Aaron Bentley, #127606)
3748
3749
* ``bzr checkout`` now honours -r when reconstituting a working tree.
3750
It also honours -r 0. (Aaron Bentley, #127708)
3751
3752
* ``bzr add *`` no more fails on Windows if working tree contains
3753
non-ascii file names. (Kuno Meyer, #127361)
3754
3755
* allow ``easy_install bzr`` runs without fatal errors.
3756
(Alexander Belchenko, #125521)
3757
3758
* Graph._filter_candidate_lca does not raise KeyError if a candidate
3759
is eliminated just before it would normally be examined. (Aaron Bentley)
3760
3761
* SMTP connection failures produce a nice message, not a traceback.
3762
(Aaron Bentley)
3763
3764
IMPROVEMENTS:
3765
3766
* Don't show "dots" progress indicators when run non-interactively, such
3767
as from cron. (Martin Pool)
3768
3769
* ``info`` now formats locations more nicely and lists "submit" and
3770
"public" branches (Aaron Bentley)
3771
3772
* New ``pack`` command that will trigger database compression within
3773
the repository (Robert Collins)
3774
3775
* Implement ``_KnitIndex._load_data`` in a pyrex extension. The pyrex
3776
version is approximately 2-3x faster at parsing a ``.kndx`` file.
3777
Which yields a measurable improvement for commands which have to
3778
read from the repository, such as a 1s => 0.75s improvement in
3779
``bzr diff`` when there are changes to be shown. (John Arbash Meinel)
3780
3781
* Merge is now faster. Depending on the scenario, it can be more than 2x
3782
faster. (Aaron Bentley)
3783
3784
* Give a clearer warning, and allow ``python setup.py install`` to
3785
succeed even if pyrex is not available.
3786
(John Arbash Meinel)
3787
3788
* ``DirState._read_dirblocks`` now has an optional Pyrex
3789
implementation. This improves the speed of any command that has to
3790
read the entire DirState. (``diff``, ``status``, etc, improve by
3791
about 10%).
3792
``bisect_dirblocks`` has also been improved, which helps all
3793
``_get_entry`` type calls (whenever we are searching for a
3794
particular entry in the in-memory DirState).
3795
(John Arbash Meinel)
3796
3797
* ``bzr pull`` and ``bzr push`` no longer do a complete walk of the
3798
branch revision history for ui display unless -v is supplied.
3799
(Robert Collins)
3800
3801
* ``bzr log -rA..B`` output shifted to the left margin if the log only
3802
contains merge revisions. (Kent Gibson)
3803
3804
* The ``plugins`` command is now public with improved help.
3805
(Ian Clatworthy)
3806
3807
* New bundle and merge directive formats are faster to generate, and
3808
3809
* Annotate merge now works when there are local changes. (Aaron Bentley)
3810
3811
* Commit now only shows the progress in terms of directories instead of
3812
entries. (Ian Clatworthy)
3813
3814
* Fix ``KnitRepository.get_revision_graph`` to not request the graph 2
3815
times. This makes ``get_revision_graph`` 2x faster. (John Arbash
3816
Meinel)
3817
3818
* Fix ``VersionedFile.get_graph()`` to avoid using
3819
``set.difference_update(other)``, which has bad scaling when
3820
``other`` is large. This improves ``VF.get_graph([version_id])`` for
3821
a 12.5k graph from 2.9s down to 200ms. (John Arbash Meinel)
3822
3823
* The ``--lsprof-file`` option now generates output for KCacheGrind if
3824
the file starts with ``callgrind.out``. This matches the default file
3825
filtering done by KCacheGrind's Open Dialog. (Ian Clatworthy)
3826
3827
* Fix ``bzr update`` to avoid an unnecessary
3828
``branch.get_master_branch`` call, which avoids 1 extra connection
3829
to the remote server. (Partial fix for #128076, John Arbash Meinel)
3830
3831
* Log errors from the smart server in the trace file, to make debugging
3832
test failures (and live failures!) easier. (Andrew Bennetts)
3833
3834
* The HTML version of the man page has been superceded by a more
3835
comprehensive manual called the Bazaar User Reference. This manual
3836
is completed generated from the online help topics. As part of this
3837
change, limited reStructuredText is now explicitly supported in help
3838
topics and command help with 'unnatural' markup being removed prior
3839
to display by the online help or inclusion in the man page.
3840
(Ian Clatworthy)
3841
3842
* HTML documentation now use files extension ``*.html``
3843
(Alexander Belchenko)
3844
3845
* The cache of ignore definitions is now cleared in WorkingTree.unlock()
3846
so that changes to .bzrignore aren't missed. (#129694, Daniel Watkins)
3847
3848
* ``bzr selftest --strict`` fails if there are any missing features or
3849
expected test failures. (Daniel Watkins, #111914)
3850
3851
* Link to registration survey added to README. (Ian Clatworthy)
3852
3853
* Windows standalone installer show link to registration survey
3854
when installation finished. (Alexander Belchenko)
3855
3856
LIBRARY API BREAKS:
3857
3858
* Deprecated dictionary ``bzrlib.option.SHORT_OPTIONS`` removed.
3859
Options are now required to provide a help string and it must
3860
comply with the style guide by being one or more sentences with an
3861
initial capital and final period. (Martin Pool)
3862
3863
* KnitIndex.get_parents now returns tuples. (Robert Collins)
3864
3865
* Ancient unused ``Repository.text_store`` attribute has been removed.
3866
(Robert Collins)
3867
3868
* The ``bzrlib.pack`` interface has changed to use tuples of bytestrings
3869
rather than just bytestrings, making it easier to represent multiple
3870
element names. As this interface was not used by any internal facilities
3871
since it was introduced in 0.18 no API compatibility is being preserved.
3872
The serialised form of these packs is identical with 0.18 when a single
3873
element tuple is in use. (Robert Collins)
3874
3875
INTERNALS:
3876
3877
* merge now uses ``iter_changes`` to calculate changes, which makes room for
3878
future performance increases. It is also more consistent with other
3879
operations that perform comparisons, and reduces reliance on
3880
Tree.inventory. (Aaron Bentley)
3881
3882
* Refactoring of transport classes connected to a remote server.
3883
ConnectedTransport is a new class that serves as a basis for all
3884
transports needing to connect to a remote server. transport.split_url
3885
have been deprecated, use the static method on the object instead. URL
3886
tests have been refactored too.
3887
(Vincent Ladeuil)
3888
3889
* Better connection sharing for ConnectedTransport objects.
3890
transport.get_transport() now accepts a 'possible_transports' parameter.
3891
If a newly requested transport can share a connection with one of the
3892
list, it will.
3893
(Vincent Ladeuil)
3894
3895
* Most functions now accept ``bzrlib.revision.NULL_REVISION`` to indicate
3896
the null revision, and consider using ``None`` for this purpose
3897
deprecated. (Aaron Bentley)
3898
3899
* New ``index`` module with abstract index functionality. This will be
3900
used during the planned changes in the repository layer. Currently the
3901
index layer provides a graph aware immutable index, a builder for the
3902
same index type to allow creating them, and finally a composer for
3903
such indices to allow the use of many indices in a single query. The
3904
index performance is not optimised, however the API is stable to allow
3905
development on top of the index. (Robert Collins)
3906
3907
* ``bzrlib.dirstate.cmp_by_dirs`` can be used to compare two paths by
3908
their directory sections. This is equivalent to comparing
3909
``path.split('/')``, only without having to split the paths.
3910
This has a Pyrex implementation available.
3911
(John Arbash Meinel)
3912
3913
* New transport decorator 'unlistable+' which disables the list_dir
3914
functionality for testing.
3915
3916
* Deprecated ``change_entry`` in transform.py. (Ian Clatworthy)
3917
3918
* RevisionTree.get_weave is now deprecated. Tree.plan_merge is now used
3919
for performing annotate-merge. (Aaron Bentley)
3920
3921
* New EmailMessage class to create email messages. (Adeodato Simó)
3922
3923
* Unused functions on the private interface KnitIndex have been removed.
3924
(Robert Collins)
3925
3926
* New ``knit.KnitGraphIndex`` which provides a ``KnitIndex`` layered on top
3927
of a ``index.GraphIndex``. (Robert Collins)
3928
3929
* New ``knit.KnitVersionedFile.iter_parents`` method that allows querying
3930
the parents of many knit nodes at once, reducing round trips to the
3931
underlying index. (Robert Collins)
3932
3933
* Graph now has an is_ancestor method, various bits use it.
3934
(Aaron Bentley)
3935
3936
* The ``-Dhpss`` flag now includes timing information. As well as
3937
logging when a new connection is opened. (John Arbash Meinel)
3938
3939
* ``bzrlib.pack.ContainerWriter`` now returns an offset, length tuple to
3940
callers when inserting data, allowing generation of readv style access
3941
during pack creation, without needing a separate pass across the output
3942
pack to gather such details. (Robert Collins)
3943
3944
* ``bzrlib.pack.make_readv_reader`` allows readv based access to pack
3945
files that are stored on a transport. (Robert Collins)
3946
3947
* New ``Repository.has_same_location`` method that reports if two
3948
repository objects refer to the same repository (although with some risk
3949
of false negatives). (Andrew Bennetts)
3950
3951
* InterTree.compare now passes require_versioned on correctly.
3952
(Marius Kruger)
3953
3954
* New methods on Repository - ``start_write_group``,
3955
``commit_write_group``, ``abort_write_group`` and ``is_in_write_group`` -
3956
which provide a clean hook point for transactional Repositories - ones
3957
where all the data for a fetch or commit needs to be made atomically
3958
available in one step. This allows the write lock to remain while making
3959
a series of data insertions. (e.g. data conversion). (Robert Collins)
3960
3961
* In ``bzrlib.knit`` the internal interface has been altered to use
3962
3-tuples (index, pos, length) rather than two-tuples (pos, length) to
3963
describe where data in a knit is, allowing knits to be split into
3964
many files. (Robert Collins)
3965
3966
* ``bzrlib.knit._KnitData`` split into cache management and physical access
3967
with two access classes - ``_PackAccess`` and ``_KnitAccess`` defined.
3968
The former provides access into a .pack file, and the latter provides the
3969
current production repository form of .knit files. (Robert Collins)
3970
3971
TESTING:
3972
3973
* Remove selftest ``--clean-output``, ``--numbered-dirs`` and
3974
``--keep-output`` options, which are obsolete now that tests
3975
are done within directories in $TMPDIR. (Martin Pool)
3976
3977
* The SSH_AUTH_SOCK environment variable is now reset to avoid
3978
interaction with any running ssh agents. (Jelmer Vernooij, #125955)
3979
3980
* run_bzr_subprocess handles parameters the same way as run_bzr:
3981
either a string or a list of strings should be passed as the first
3982
parameter. Varargs-style parameters are deprecated. (Aaron Bentley)

BUGFIXES:
3997
3998
* Do not suppress pipe errors, etc. in non-display commands
3999
(Alexander Belchenko, #87178)
4000
4001
* Display a useful error message when the user requests to annotate
4002
a file that is not present in the specified revision.
4003
(James Westby, #122656)
4004
4005
* Commands that use status flags now have a reference to 'help
4006
status-flags'. (Daniel Watkins, #113436)
4007
4008
* Work around python-2.4.1 inhability to correctly parse the
4009
authentication header.
4010
(Vincent Ladeuil, #121889)
4011
4012
* Use exact encoding for merge directives. (Adeodato Simó, #120591)
4013
4014
* Fix tempfile permissions error in smart server tar bundling under
4015
Windows. (Martin _, #119330)
4016
4017
* Fix detection of directory entries in the inventory. (James Westby)
4018
4019
* Fix handling of http code 400: Bad Request When issuing too many ranges.
4020
(Vincent Ladeuil, #115209)
4021
4022
* Issue a CONNECT request when connecting to an https server
4023
via a proxy to enable SSL tunneling.
4024
(Vincent Ladeuil, #120678)
4025
4026
* Fix ``bzr log -r`` to support selecting merge revisions, both
4027
individually and as part of revision ranges.
4028
(Kent Gibson, #4663)
4029
4030
* Don't leave cruft behind when failing to acquire a lockdir.
4031
(Martin Pool, #109169)
4032
4033
* Don't use the '-f' strace option during tests.
4034
(Vincent Ladeuil, #102019).
4035
4036
* Warn when setting ``push_location`` to a value that will be masked by
4037
locations.conf. (Aaron Bentley, #122286)
4038
4039
* Fix commit ordering in corner case (Aaron Bentley, #94975)
4040
4041
* Make annotate behave in a non-ASCII world (Adeodato Simó).
4042
4043
IMPROVEMENTS:
4044
4045
* The --lsprof-file option now dumps a text rendering of the profiling
4046
information if the filename ends in ".txt". It will also convert the
4047
profiling information to a format suitable for KCacheGrind if the
4048
output filename ends in ".callgrind". Fixes to the lsprofcalltree
4049
conversion process by Jean Paul Calderone and Itamar were also merged.
4050
See http://ddaa.net/blog/python/lsprof-calltree. (Ian Clatworthy)
4051
4052
* ``info`` now defaults to non-verbose mode, displaying only paths and
4053
abbreviated format info. ``info -v`` displays all the information
4054
formerly displayed by ``info``. (Aaron Bentley, Adeodato Simó)
4055
4056
* ``bzr missing`` now has better option names ``--this`` and ``--other``.
4057
(Elliot Murphy)
4058
4059
* The internal ``weave-list`` command has become ``versionedfile-list``,
4060
and now lists knits as well as weaves. (Aaron Bentley)
4061
4062
* Automatic merge base selection uses a faster algorithm that chooses
4063
better bases in criss-cross merge situations (Aaron Bentley)
4064
4065
* Progress reporting in ``commit`` has been improved. The various logical
4066
stages are now reported on as follows, namely:
4067
4068
* Collecting changes [Entry x/y] - Stage n/m
4069
* Saving data locally - Stage n/m
4070
* Uploading data to master branch - Stage n/m
4071
* Updating the working tree - Stage n/m
4072
* Running post commit hooks - Stage n/m
4073
4074
If there is no master branch, the 3rd stage is omitted and the total
4075
number of stages is adjusted accordingly.
4076
4077
Each hook that is run after commit is listed with a name (as hooks
4078
can be slow it is useful feedback).
4079
(Ian Clatworthy, Robert Collins)
4080
4081
* Various operations that are now faster due to avoiding unnecessary
4082
topological sorts. (Aaron Bentley)
4083
4084
* Make merge directives robust against broken bundles. (Aaron Bentley)
4085
4086
* The lsprof filename note is emitted via trace.note(), not standard
4087
output. (Aaron Bentley)
4088
4089
* ``bzrlib`` now exports explicit API compatibility information to assist
4090
library users and plugins. See the ``bzrlib.api`` module for details.
4091
(Robert Collins)
4092
4093
* Remove unnecessary lock probes when acquiring a lockdir.
4094
(Martin Pool)
4095
4096
* ``bzr --version`` now shows the location of the bzr log file, which
4097
is especially useful on Windows. (Martin Pool)
4098
4099
* -D now supports hooks to get debug tracing of hooks (though its currently
4100
minimal in nature). (Robert Collins)
4101
4102
* Long log format reports deltas on merge revisions.
4103
(John Arbash Meinel, Kent Gibson)
4104
4105
* Make initial push over ftp more resilient. (John Arbash Meinel)
4106
4107
* Print a summary of changes for update just like pull does.
4108
(Daniel Watkins, #113990)
4109
4110
* Add a -Dhpss option to trace smart protocol requests and responses.
4111
(Andrew Bennetts)
4112
4113
LIBRARY API BREAKS:
4114
4115
* Testing cleanups -
4116
``bzrlib.repository.RepositoryTestProviderAdapter`` has been moved
4117
to ``bzrlib.tests.repository_implementations``;
4118
``bzrlib.repository.InterRepositoryTestProviderAdapter`` has been moved
4119
to ``bzrlib.tests.interrepository_implementations``;
4120
``bzrlib.transport.TransportTestProviderAdapter`` has moved to
4121
``bzrlib.tests.test_transport_implementations``.
4122
``bzrlib.branch.BranchTestProviderAdapter`` has moved to
4123
``bzrlib.tests.branch_implementations``.
4124
``bzrlib.bzrdir.BzrDirTestProviderAdapter`` has moved to
4125
``bzrlib.tests.bzrdir_implementations``.
4126
``bzrlib.versionedfile.InterVersionedFileTestProviderAdapter`` has moved
4127
to ``bzrlib.tests.interversionedfile_implementations``.
4128
``bzrlib.store.revision.RevisionStoreTestProviderAdapter`` has moved to
4129
``bzrlib.tests.revisionstore_implementations``.
4130
``bzrlib.workingtree.WorkingTreeTestProviderAdapter`` has moved to
4131
``bzrlib.tests.workingtree_implementations``.
4132
These changes are an API break in the testing infrastructure only.
4133
(Robert Collins)
4134
4135
* Relocate TestCaseWithRepository to be more central. (Robert Collins)
4136
4137
* ``bzrlib.add.smart_add_tree`` will no longer perform glob expansion on
4138
win32. Callers of the function should do this and use the new
4139
``MutableTree.smart_add`` method instead. (Robert Collins)
4140
4141
* ``bzrlib.add.glob_expand_for_win32`` is now
4142
``bzrlib.win32utils.glob_expand``. (Robert Collins)
4143
4144
* ``bzrlib.add.FastPath`` is now private and moved to
4145
``bzrlib.mutabletree._FastPath``. (Robert Collins, Martin Pool)
4146
4147
* ``LockDir.wait`` removed. (Martin Pool)
4148
4149
* The ``SmartServer`` hooks API has changed for the ``server_started`` and
4150
``server_stopped`` hooks. The first parameter is now an iterable of
4151
backing URLs rather than a single URL. This is to reflect that many
4152
URLs may map to the external URL of the server. E.g. the server interally
4153
may have a chrooted URL but also the local file:// URL will be at the
4154
same location. (Robert Collins)
4155
4156
INTERNALS:
4157
4158
* New SMTPConnection class to unify email handling. (Adeodato Simó)
4159
4160
* Fix documentation of BzrError. (Adeodato Simó)
4161
4162
* Make BzrBadParameter an internal error. (Adeodato Simó)
4163
4164
* Remove use of 'assert False' to raise an exception unconditionally.
4165
(Martin Pool)
4166
4167
* Give a cleaner error when failing to decode knit index entry.
4168
(Martin Pool)
4169
4170
* TreeConfig would mistakenly search the top level when asked for options
4171
from a section. It now respects the section argument and only
4172
searches the specified section. (James Westby)
4173
4174
* Improve ``make api-docs`` output. (John Arbash Meinel)
4175
4176
* Use os.lstat rather than os.stat for osutils.make_readonly and
4177
osutils.make_writeable. This makes the difftools plugin more
4178
robust when dangling symlinks are found. (Elliot Murphy)
4179
4180
* New ``-Dlock`` option to log (to ~/.bzr.log) information on when
4181
lockdirs are taken or released. (Martin Pool)
4182
4183
* ``bzrlib`` Hooks are now nameable using ``Hooks.name_hook``. This
4184
allows a nicer UI when hooks are running as the current hook can
4185
be displayed. (Robert Collins)
4186
4187
* ``Transport.get`` has had its interface made more clear for ease of use.
4188
Retrieval of a directory must now fail with either 'PathError' at open
4189
time, or raise 'ReadError' on a read. (Robert Collins)
4190
4191
* New method ``_maybe_expand_globs`` on the ``Command`` class for
4192
dealing with unexpanded glob lists - e.g. on the win32 platform. This
4193
was moved from ``bzrlib.add._prepare_file_list``. (Robert Collins)
4194
4195
* ``bzrlib.add.smart_add`` and ``bzrlib.add.smart_add_tree`` are now
4196
deprecated in favour of ``MutableTree.smart_add``. (Robert Collins,
4197
Martin Pool)
4198
4199
* New method ``external_url`` on Transport for obtaining the url to
4200
hand to external processes. (Robert Collins)
4201
4202
* Teach windows installers to build pyrex/C extensions.
4203
(Alexander Belchenko)
4204
4205
TESTING:
4206
4207
* Removed the ``--keep-output`` option from selftest and clean up test
4208
directories as they're used. This reduces the IO load from
4209
running the test suite and cuts the time by about half.
4210
(Andrew Bennetts, Martin Pool)
4211
4212
* Add scenarios as a public attribute on the TestAdapter classes to allow
4213
modification of the generated scenarios before adaption and easier
4214
testing. (Robert Collins)
4215
4216
* New testing support class ``TestScenarioApplier`` which multiplies
4217
out a single teste by a list of supplied scenarios. (RobertCollins)
4218
4219
* Setting ``repository_to_test_repository`` on a repository_implementations
4220
test will cause it to be called during repository creation, allowing the
4221
testing of repository classes which are not based around the Format
4222
concept. For example a repository adapter can be tested in this manner,
4223
by altering the repository scenarios to include a scenario that sets this
4224
attribute during the test parameterisation in
4225
``bzrlib.tests.repository.repository_implementations``. (Robert Collins)
4226
4227
* Clean up many of the APIs for blackbox testing of Bazaar. The standard
4228
interface is now self.run_bzr. The command to run can be passed as
4229
either a list of parameters, a string containing the command line, or
4230
(deprecated) varargs parameters. (Martin Pool)
4231
4232
* The base TestCase now isolates tests from -D parameters by clearing
4233
``debug.debug_flags`` and restores it afterwards. (Robert Collins)
4234
4235
* Add a relpath parameter to get_transport methods in test framework to
4236
avoid useless cloning.

4255
NOTES WHEN UPGRADING:
4256
4257
* The kind() and is_executable() APIs on the WorkingTree interface no
4258
longer implicitly (read) locks and unlocks the tree. This *might*
4259
impact some plug-ins and tools using this part of the API. If you find
4260
an issue that may be caused by this change, please let us know,
4261
particularly the plug-in/tool maintainer. If encountered, the API
4262
fix is to surround kind() and is_executable() calls with lock_read()
4263
and unlock() like so::
4264
4265
work_tree.lock_read()
4266
try:
4267
kind = work_tree.kind(...)
4268
finally:
4269
work_tree.unlock()
4270
4271
INTERNALS:
4272
* Rework of LogFormatter API to provide beginning/end of log hooks and to
4273
encapsulate the details of the revision to be logged in a LogRevision
4274
object.
4275
In long log formats, merge revision ids are only shown when --show-ids
4276
is specified, and are labelled "revision-id:", as per mainline
4277
revisions, instead of "merged:". (Kent Gibson)
4278
4279
* New ``BranchBuilder`` API which allows the construction of particular
4280
histories quickly. Useful for testing and potentially other applications
4281
too. (Robert Collins)
4282
4283
IMPROVEMENTS:
4284
4285
* There are two new help topics, working-trees and repositories that
4286
attempt to explain these concepts. (James Westby, John Arbash Meinel,
4287
Aaron Bentley)
4288
4289
* Added ``bzr log --limit`` to report a limited number of revisions.
4290
(Kent Gibson, #3659)
4291
4292
* Revert does not try to preserve file contents that were originally
4293
produced by reverting to a historical revision. (Aaron Bentley)
4294
4295
* ``bzr log --short`` now includes ``[merge]`` for revisions which
4296
have more than one parent. This is a small improvement to help
4297
understanding what changes have occurred
4298
(John Arbash Meinel, #83887)
4299
4300
* TreeTransform avoids many renames when contructing large trees,
4301
improving speed. 3.25x speedups have been observed for construction of
4302
kernel-sized-trees, and checkouts are 1.28x faster. (Aaron Bentley)
4303
4304
* Commit on large trees is now faster. In my environment, a commit of
4305
a small change to the Mozilla tree (55k files) has dropped from
4306
66 seconds to 32 seconds. For a small tree of 600 files, commit of a
4307
small change is 33% faster. (Ian Clatworthy)
4308
4309
* New --create-prefix option to bzr init, like for push. (Daniel Watkins,
4310
#56322)
4311
4312
BUGFIXES:
4313
4314
* ``bzr push`` should only connect to the remote location one time.
4315
We have been connecting 3 times because we forget to pass around
4316
the Transport object. This adds ``BzrDir.clone_on_transport()``, so
4317
that we can pass in the Transport that we already have.
4318
(John Arbash Meinel, #75721)
4319
4320
* ``DirState.set_state_from_inventory()`` needs to properly order
4321
based on split paths, not just string paths.
4322
(John Arbash Meinel, #115947)
4323
4324
* Let TestUIFactoy encode the password prompt with its own stdout.
4325
(Vincent Ladeuil, #110204)
4326
4327
* pycurl should take use the range header that takes the range hint
4328
into account.
4329
(Vincent Ladeuil, #112719)
4330
4331
* WorkingTree4.get_file_sha1 no longer raises an exception when invoked
4332
on a missing file. (Aaron Bentley, #118186)
4333
4334
* WorkingTree.remove works correctly with tree references, and when pwd is
4335
not the tree root. (Aaron Bentley)
4336
4337
* Merge no longer fails when a file is renamed in one tree and deleted
4338
in the other. (Aaron Bentley, #110279)
4339
4340
* ``revision-info`` now accepts dotted revnos, doesn't require a tree,
4341
and defaults to the last revision (Matthew Fuller, #90048)
4342
4343
* Tests no longer fail when BZR_REMOTE_PATH is set in the environment.
4344
(Daniel Watkins, #111958)
4345
4346
* ``bzr branch -r revid:foo`` can be used to branch any revision in
4347
your repository. (Previously Branch6 only supported revisions in your
4348
mainline). (John Arbash Meinel, #115343)

4351
--------------------
4352
4353
BUGFIXES:
4354
4355
* Handle when you have 2 directories with similar names, but one has a
4356
hyphen. (``'abc'`` versus ``'abc-2'``). The WT4._iter_changes
4357
iterator was using direct comparison and ``'abc/a'`` sorts after
4358
``'abc-2'``, but ``('abc', 'a')`` sorts before ``('abc-2',)``.
4359
(John Arbash Meinel, #111227)
4360
4361
* Handle when someone renames a file on disk without telling bzr.
4362
Previously we would report the first file as missing, but not show
4363
the new unknown file. (John Arbash Meinel, #111288)
4364
4365
* Avoid error when running hooks after pulling into or pushing from
4366
a branch bound to a smartserver branch. (Martin Pool, #111968)
4367
4368
IMPROVEMENTS:
4369
4370
* Move developer documentation to doc/developers/. This reduces clutter in
4371
the root of the source tree and allows HACKING to be split into multiple
4372
files. (Robert Collins, Alexander Belchenko)
4373
4374
* Clean up the ``WorkingTree4._iter_changes()`` internal loops as well as
4375
``DirState.update_entry()``. This optimizes the core logic for ``bzr
4376
diff`` and ``bzr status`` significantly improving the speed of
4377
both. (John Arbash Meinel)

BUGFIXES:
4383
4384
* Handle the case when you delete a file, and then rename another file
4385
on top of it. Also handle the case of ``bzr rm --keep foo``. ``bzr
4386
status`` should show the removed file and an unknown file in its
4387
place. (John Arbash Meinel, #109993)
4388
4389
* Bundles properly read and write revision properties that have an
4390
empty value. And when the value is not ASCII.
4391
(John Arbash Meinel, #109613)

4393
* Fix the bzr commit message to be in text mode.
4394
(Alexander Belchenko, #110901)

to be. (John Arbash Meinel, #110256)
4398
4399
* ``WorkingTree4._iter_changes`` should not descend into unversioned

4403
-----------------------
4404
4405
NOTES WHEN UPGRADING:
4406
4407
* ``bzr remove`` and ``bzr rm`` will now remove the working file, if
4408
it could be recovered again.
4409
This has been done for consistency with svn and the unix rm command.
4410
The old ``remove`` behaviour has been retained in the new option
4411
``bzr remove --keep``, which will just stop versioning the file,
4412
but not delete it.
4413
``bzr remove --force`` have been added which will always delete the
4414
files.
4415
``bzr remove`` is also more verbose.
4416
(Marius Kruger, #82602)
4417
4418
IMPROVEMENTS:
4419
4420
* Merge directives can now be supplied as input to `merge` and `pull`,
4421
like bundles can. (Aaron Bentley)
4422
4423
* Sending the SIGQUIT signal to bzr, which can be done on Unix by
4424
pressing Control-Backslash, drops bzr into a debugger. Type ``'c'``
4425
to continue. This can be disabled by setting the environment variable
4426
``BZR_SIGQUIT_PDB=0``. (Martin Pool)
4427
4428
* selftest now supports --list-only to list tests instead of running
4429
them. (Ian Clatworthy)
4430
4431
* selftest now supports --exclude PATTERN (or -x PATTERN) to exclude
4432
tests with names that match that regular expression.
4433
(Ian Clatworthy, #102679)
4434
4435
* selftest now supports --randomize SEED to run tests in a random order.
4436
SEED is typically the value 'now' meaning 'use the current time'.
4437
(Ian Clatworthy, #102686)
4438
4439
* New option ``--fixes`` to commit, which stores bug fixing annotations as
4440
revision properties. Built-in support for Launchpad, Debian, Trac and
4441
Bugzilla bug trackers. (Jonathan Lange, James Henstridge, Robert Collins)
4442
4443
* New API, ``bzrlib.bugtracker.tracker_registry``, for adding support for
4444
other bug trackers to ``fixes``. (Jonathan Lange, James Henstridge,
4445
Robert Collins)
4446
4447
* ``selftest`` has new short options ``-f`` and ``-1``. (Martin
4448
Pool)
4449
4450
* ``bzrlib.tsort.MergeSorter`` optimizations. Change the inner loop
4451
into using local variables instead of going through ``self._var``.
4452
Improves the time to ``merge_sort`` a 10k revision graph by
4453
approximately 40% (~700->400ms). (John Arbash Meinel)
4454
4455
* ``make docs`` now creates a man page at ``man1/bzr.1`` fixing bug 107388.
4456
(Robert Collins)
4457
4458
* ``bzr help`` now provides cross references to other help topics using
4459
the _see_also facility on command classes. Likewise the bzr_man
4460
documentation, and the bzr.1 man page also include this information.
4461
(Robert Collins)
4462
4463
* Tags are now included in logs, that use the long log formatter.
4464
(Erik Bågfors, Alexander Belchenko)
4465
4466
* ``bzr help`` provides a clearer message when a help topic cannot be
4467
found. (Robert Collins, #107656)
4468
4469
* ``bzr help`` now accepts optional prefixes for command help. The help
4470
for all commands can now be found at ``bzr help commands/COMMANDNAME``
4471
as well as ``bzr help COMMANDNAME`` (which only works for commands
4472
where the name is not the same as a more general help topic).
4473
(Robert Collins)
4474
4475
* ``bzr help PLUGINNAME`` will now return the module docstring from the
4476
plugin PLUGINNAME. (Robert Collins, #50408)
4477
4478
* New help topic ``urlspec`` which lists the availables transports.
4479
(Goffredo Baroncelli)
4480
4481
* doc/server.txt updated to document the default bzr:// port
4482
and also update the blurb about the hpss' current status.
4483
(Robert Collins, #107125).
4484
4485
* ``bzr serve`` now listens on interface 0.0.0.0 by default, making it
4486
serve out to the local LAN (and anyone in the world that can reach the
4487
machine running ``bzr serve``. (Robert Collins, #98918)
4488
4489
* A new smart server protocol version has been added. It prefixes requests
4490
and responses with an explicit version identifier so that future protocol
4491
revisions can be dealt with gracefully. (Andrew Bennetts, Robert Collins)
4492
4493
* The bzr protocol version 2 indicates success or failure in every response
4494
without depending on particular commands encoding that consistently,
4495
allowing future client refactorings to be much more robust about error
4496
handling. (Robert Collins, Martin Pool, Andrew Bennetts)
4497
4498
* The smart protocol over HTTP client has been changed to always post to the
4499
same ``.bzr/smart`` URL under the original location when it can. This allows
4500
HTTP servers to only have to pass URLs ending in .bzr/smart to the smart
4501
server handler, and not arbitrary ``.bzr/*/smart`` URLs. (Andrew Bennetts)
4502
4503
* digest authentication is now supported for proxies and HTTP by the urllib
4504
based http implementation. Tested against Apache 2.0.55 and Squid
4505
2.6.5. Basic and digest authentication are handled coherently for HTTP
4506
and proxy: if the user is provided in the url (bzr command line for HTTP,
4507
proxy environment variables for proxies), the password is prompted for
4508
(only once). If the password is provided, it is taken into account. Once
4509
the first authentication is successful, all further authentication
4510
roundtrips are avoided by preventively setting the right authentication
4511
header(s).
4512
(Vincent Ladeuil).
4513
4514
INTERNALS:
4515
4516
* bzrlib API compatability with 0.8 has been dropped, cleaning up some
4517
code paths. (Robert Collins)
4518
4519
* Change the format of chroot urls so that they can be safely manipulated
4520
by generic url utilities without causing the resulting urls to have
4521
escaped the chroot. A side effect of this is that creating a chroot
4522
requires an explicit action using a ChrootServer.
4523
(Robert Collins, Andrew Bennetts)
4524
4525
* Deprecate ``Branch.get_root_id()`` because branches don't have root ids,
4526
rather than fixing bug #96847. (Aaron Bentley)
4527
4528
* ``WorkingTree.apply_inventory_delta`` provides a better alternative to
4529
``WorkingTree._write_inventory``. (Aaron Bentley)
4530
4531
* Convenience method ``TestCase.expectFailure`` ensures that known failures
4532
do not silently pass. (Aaron Bentley)
4533
4534
* ``Transport.local_abspath`` now raises ``NotLocalUrl`` rather than
4535
``TransportNotPossible``. (Martin Pool, Ian Clatworthy)
4536
4537
* New SmartServer hooks facility. There are two initial hooks documented
4538
in ``bzrlib.transport.smart.SmartServerHooks``. The two initial hooks allow
4539
plugins to execute code upon server startup and shutdown.
4540
(Robert Collins).
4541
4542
* SmartServer in standalone mode will now close its listening socket
4543
when it stops, rather than waiting for garbage collection. This primarily
4544
fixes test suite hangs when a test tries to connect to a shutdown server.
4545
It may also help improve behaviour when dealing with a server running
4546
on a specific port (rather than dynamically assigned ports).
4547
(Robert Collins)
4548
4549
* Move most SmartServer code into a new package, bzrlib/smart.
4550
bzrlib/transport/remote.py contains just the Transport classes that used
4551
to be in bzrlib/transport/smart.py. (Andrew Bennetts)
4552
4553
* urllib http implementation avoid roundtrips associated with
4554
401 (and 407) errors once the authentication succeeds.
4555
(Vincent Ladeuil).
4556
4557
* urlib http now supports querying the user for a proxy password if
4558
needed. Realm is shown in the prompt for both HTTP and proxy
4559
authentication when the user is required to type a password.
4560
(Vincent Ladeuil).
4561
4562
* Renamed SmartTransport (and subclasses like SmartTCPTransport) to
4563
RemoteTransport (and subclasses to RemoteTCPTransport, etc). This is more
4564
consistent with its new home in ``bzrlib/transport/remote.py``, and because
4565
it's not really a "smart" transport, just one that does file operations
4566
via remote procedure calls. (Andrew Bennetts)
4567
4568
* The ``lock_write`` method of ``LockableFiles``, ``Repository`` and
4569
``Branch`` now accept a ``token`` keyword argument, so that separate
4570
instances of those objects can share a lock if it has the right token.
4571
(Andrew Bennetts, Robert Collins)
4572
4573
* New method ``get_branch_reference`` on ``BzrDir`` allows the detection of
4574
branch references - which the smart server component needs.
4575
4576
* The Repository API ``make_working_trees`` is now permitted to return
4577
False when ``set_make_working_trees`` is not implemented - previously
4578
an unimplemented ``set_make_working_trees`` implied the result True
4579
from ``make_working_trees``. This has been changed to accomodate the
4580
smart server, where it does not make sense (at this point) to ever
4581
make working trees by default. (Robert Collins)
4582
4583
* Command objects can now declare related help topics by having _see_also
4584
set to a list of related topic. (Robert Collins)
4585
4586
* ``bzrlib.help`` now delegates to the Command class for Command specific
4587
help. (Robert Collins)
4588
4589
* New class ``TransportListRegistry``, derived from the Registry class, which
4590
simplifies tracking the available Transports. (Goffredo Baroncelli)
4591
4592
* New function ``Branch.get_revision_id_to_revno_map`` which will
4593
return a dictionary mapping revision ids to dotted revnos. Since
4594
dotted revnos are defined in the context of the branch tip, it makes
4595
sense to generate them from a ``Branch`` object.
4596
(John Arbash Meinel)
4597
4598
* Fix the 'Unprintable error' message display to use the repr of the
4599
exception that prevented printing the error because the str value
4600
for it is often not useful in debugging (e.g. KeyError('foo') has a
4601
str() of 'foo' but a repr of 'KeyError('foo')' which is much more
4602
useful. (Robert Collins)
4603
4604
* ``urlutils.normalize_url`` now unescapes unreserved characters, such as "~".
4605
(Andrew Bennetts)
4606
4607
BUGFIXES:
4608
4609
* Don't fail bundle selftest if email has 'two' embedded.
4610
(Ian Clatworthy, #98510)
4611
4612
* Remove ``--verbose`` from ``bzr bundle``. It didn't work anyway.
4613
(Robert Widhopf-Fenk, #98591)
4614
4615
* Remove ``--basis`` from the checkout/branch commands - it didn't work
4616
properly and is no longer beneficial.

4618
4619
* Don't produce encoding error when adding duplicate files.
4620
(Aaron Bentley)
4621
4622
* Fix ``bzr log <file>`` so it only logs the revisions that changed
4623
the file, and does it faster.
4624
(Kent Gibson, John Arbash Meinel, #51980, #69477)
4625
4626
* Fix ``InterDirstateTre._iter_changes`` to handle when we come across
4627
an empty versioned directory, which now has files in it.
4628
(John Arbash Meinel, #104257)
4629
4630
* Teach ``common_ancestor`` to shortcut when the tip of one branch is
4631
inside the ancestry of the other. Saves a lot of graph processing
4632
(with an ancestry of 16k revisions, ``bzr merge ../already-merged``
4633
changes from 2m10s to 13s). (John Arbash Meinel, #103757)
4634
4635
* Fix ``show_diff_trees`` to handle the case when a file is modified,
4636
and the containing directory is renamed. (The file path is different
4637
in this versus base, but it isn't marked as a rename).
4638
(John Arbash Meinel, #103870)
4639
4640
* FTP now works even when the FTP server does not support atomic rename.
4641
(Aaron Bentley, #89436)
4642
4643
* Correct handling in bundles and merge directives of timezones with
4644
that are not an integer number of hours offset from UTC. Always
4645
represent the epoch time in UTC to avoid problems with formatting
4646
earlier times on win32. (Martin Pool, Alexander Belchenko, John
4647
Arbash Meinel)
4648
4649
* Typo in the help for ``register-branch`` fixed. (Robert Collins, #96770)
4650
4651
* "dirstate" and "dirstate-tags" formats now produce branches compatible
4652
with old versions of bzr. (Aaron Bentley, #107168))
4653
4654
* Handle moving a directory when children have been added, removed,
4655
and renamed. (John Arbash Meinel, #105479)
4656
4657
* Don't preventively use basic authentication for proxy before receiving a
4658
407 error. Otherwise people willing to use other authentication schemes
4659
may expose their password in the clear (or nearly). This add one
4660
roundtrip in case basic authentication should be used, but plug the
4661
security hole.
4662
(Vincent Ladeuil)
4663
4664
* Handle http and proxy digest authentication.
4665
(Vincent Ladeuil, #94034).
4666
4667
TESTING:
4668
4669
* Added ``bzrlib.strace.strace`` which will strace a single callable and
4670
return a StraceResult object which contains just the syscalls involved
4671
in running it. (Robert Collins)
4672
4673
* New test method ``reduceLockdirTimeout`` to drop the default (ui-centric)
4674
default time down to one suitable for tests. (Andrew Bennetts)
4675
4676
* Add new ``vfs_transport_factory`` attribute on tests which provides the
4677
common vfs backing for both the readonly and readwrite transports.
4678
This allows the RemoteObject tests to back onto local disk or memory,
4679
and use the existing ``transport_server`` attribute all tests know about
4680
to be the smart server transport. This in turn allows tests to
4681
differentiate between 'transport to access the branch', and
4682
'transport which is a VFS' - which matters in Remote* tests.
4683
(Robert Collins, Andrew Bennetts)
4684
4685
* The ``make_branch_and_tree`` method for tests will now create a
4686
lightweight checkout for the tree if the ``vfs_transport_factory`` is not
4687
a LocalURLServer. (Robert Collins, Andrew Bennetts)
4688
4689
* Branch implementation tests have been audited to ensure that all urls
4690
passed to Branch APIs use proper urls, except when local-disk paths
4691
are intended. This is so that tests correctly access the test transport
4692
which is often not equivalent to local disk in Remote* tests. As part
4693
of this many tests were adjusted to remove dependencies on local disk
4694
access.
4695
(Robert Collins, Andrew Bennetts)
4696
4697
* Mark bzrlib.tests and bzrlib.tests.TestUtil as providing assertFOO helper
4698
functions by adding a ``__unittest`` global attribute. (Robert Collins,
4699
Andrew Bennetts, Martin Pool, Jonathan Lange)
4700
4701
* Refactored proxy and authentication handling to simplify the
4702
implementation of new auth schemes for both http and proxy.

CHANGES:
4721
4722
* A warning is now displayed when opening working trees in older
4723
formats, to encourage people to upgrade to WorkingTreeFormat4.
4724
(Martin Pool)
4725
4726
IMPROVEMENTS:
4727
4728
* HTTP redirections are now taken into account when a branch (or a
4729
bundle) is accessed for the first time. A message is issued at each
4730
redirection to inform the user. In the past, http redirections were
4731
silently followed for each request which significantly degraded the
4732
performances. The http redirections are not followed anymore by
4733
default, instead a RedirectRequested exception is raised. For bzrlib
4734
users needing to follow http redirections anyway,
4735
``bzrlib.transport.do_catching_redirections`` provide an easy transition
4736
path. (vila)
4737
4738
INTERNALS:
4739
4740
* Added ``ReadLock.temporary_write_lock()`` to allow upgrading an OS read
4741
lock to an OS write lock. Linux can do this without unlocking, Win32
4742
needs to unlock in between. (John Arbash Meinel)
4743
4744
* New parameter ``recommend_upgrade`` to ``BzrDir.open_workingtree``
4745
to silence (when false) warnings about opening old formats.
4746
(Martin Pool)
4747
4748
* Fix minor performance regression with bzr-0.15 on pre-dirstate
4749
trees. (We were reading the working inventory too many times).
4750
(John Arbash Meinel)
4751
4752
* Remove ``Branch.get_transaction()`` in favour of a simple cache of
4753
``revision_history``. Branch subclasses should override
4754
``_gen_revision_history`` rather than ``revision_history`` to make use of
4755
this cache, and call ``_clear_revision_history_cache`` and
4756
``_cache_revision_history`` at appropriate times. (Andrew Bennetts)
4757
4758
BUGFIXES:
4759
4760
* Take ``smtp_server`` from user config into account.
4761
(vila, #92195)
4762
4763
* Restore Unicode filename handling for versioned and unversioned files.
4764
(John Arbash Meinel, #92608)
4765
4766
* Don't fail during ``bzr commit`` if a file is marked removed, and
4767
the containing directory is auto-removed. (John Arbash Meinel, #93681)
4768
4769
* ``bzr status FILENAME`` failed on Windows because of an uncommon
4770
errno. (``ERROR_DIRECTORY == 267 != ENOTDIR``).
4771
(Wouter van Heyst, John Arbash Meinel, #90819)
4772
4773
* ``bzr checkout source`` should create a local branch in the same
4774
format as source. (John Arbash Meinel, #93854)
4775
4776
* ``bzr commit`` with a kind change was failing to update the
4777
last-changed-revision for directories. The
4778
InventoryDirectory._unchanged only looked at the ``parent_id`` and name,
4779
ignoring the fact that the kind could have changed, too.
4780
(John Arbash Meinel, #90111)
4781
4782
* ``bzr mv dir/subdir other`` was incorrectly updating files inside
4783
the directory. So that there was a chance it would break commit,
4784
etc. (John Arbash Meinel, #94037)
4785
4786
* Correctly handles mutiple permanent http redirections.

4790
-----------------------
4791
4792
NOTES WHEN UPGRADING:
4793
4794
* Release 0.15rc2 of bzr changes the ``bzr init-repo`` command to
4795
default to ``--trees`` instead of ``--no-trees``.
4796
Existing shared repositories are not affected.
4797
4798
IMPROVEMENTS:
4799
4800
* New ``merge-directive`` command to generate machine- and human-readable
4801
merge requests. (Aaron Bentley)
4802
4803
* New ``submit:`` revision specifier makes it easy to diff against the
4804
common ancestor with the submit location (Aaron Bentley)
4805
4806
* Added support for Putty's SSH implementation. (Dmitry Vasiliev)
4807
4808
* Added ``bzr status --versioned`` to report only versioned files,
4809
not unknowns. (Kent Gibson)
4810
4811
* Merge now autodetects the correct line-ending style for its conflict
4812
markers. (Aaron Bentley)
4813
4814
INTERNALS:
4815
4816
* Refactored SSH vendor registration into SSHVendorManager class.
4817
(Dmitry Vasiliev)
4818
4819
BUGFIXES:
4820
4821
* New ``--numbered-dirs`` option to ``bzr selftest`` to use
4822
numbered dirs for TestCaseInTempDir. This is default behavior
4823
on Windows. Anyone can force named dirs on Windows
4824
with ``--no-numbered-dirs``. (Alexander Belchenko)
4825
4826
* Fix ``RevisionSpec_revid`` to handle the Unicode strings passed in
4827
from the command line. (Marien Zwart, #90501)
4828
4829
* Fix ``TreeTransform._iter_changes`` when both the source and
4830
destination are missing. (Aaron Bentley, #88842)
4831
4832
* Fix commit of merges with symlinks in dirstate trees.
4833
(Marien Zwart)
4834
4835
* Switch the ``bzr init-repo`` default from --no-trees to --trees.

4839
bzr 0.15rc1 2007-03-07
4840
-----------------------
4841
4842
SURPRISES:
4843
4844
* The default disk format has changed. Please run 'bzr upgrade' in your
4845
working trees to upgrade. This new default is compatible for network
4846
operations, but not for local operations. That is, if you have two
4847
versions of bzr installed locally, after upgrading you can only use the
4848
bzr 0.15 version. This new default does not enable tags or nested-trees
4849
as they are incompatible with bzr versions before 0.15 over the network.
4850
4851
* For users of bzrlib: Two major changes have been made to the working tree
4852
api in bzrlib. The first is that many methods and attributes, including
4853
the inventory attribute, are no longer valid for use until one of
4854
``lock_read``/``lock_write``/``lock_tree_write`` has been called,
4855
and become invalid again after unlock is called. This has been done
4856
to improve performance and correctness as part of the dirstate
4857
development.
4858
(Robert Collins, John A Meinel, Martin Pool, and others).
4859
4860
* For users of bzrlib: The attribute 'tree.inventory' should be considered
4861
readonly. Previously it was possible to directly alter this attribute, or
4862
its contents, and have the tree notice this. This has been made
4863
unsupported - it may work in some tree formats, but in the newer dirstate
4864
format such actions will have no effect and will be ignored, or even
4865
cause assertions. All operations possible can still be carried out by a
4866
combination of the tree API, and the bzrlib.transform API. (Robert
4867
Collins, John A Meinel, Martin Pool, and others).
4868
4869
IMPROVEMENTS:
4870
4871
* Support for OS Windows 98. Also .bzr.log on any windows system
4872
saved in My Documents folder. (Alexander Belchenko)
4873
4874
* ``bzr mv`` enhanced to support already moved files.
4875
In the past the mv command would have failed if the source file doesn't
4876
exist. In this situation ``bzr mv`` would now detect that the file has
4877
already moved and update the repository accordingly, if the target file
4878
does exist.
4879
A new option ``--after`` has been added so that if two files already
4880
exist, you could notify Bazaar that you have moved a (versioned) file
4881
and replaced it with another. Thus in this case ``bzr move --after``
4882
will only update the Bazaar identifier.
4883
(Steffen Eichenberg, Marius Kruger)
4884
4885
* ``ls`` now works on treeless branches and remote branches.
4886
(Aaron Bentley)
4887
4888
* ``bzr help global-options`` describes the global options.
4889
(Aaron Bentley)
4890
4891
* ``bzr pull --overwrite`` will now correctly overwrite checkouts.
4892
(Robert Collins)
4893
4894
* Files are now allowed to change kind (e.g. from file to symlink).
4895
Supported by ``commit``, ``revert`` and ``status``
4896
(Aaron Bentley)
4897
4898
* ``inventory`` and ``unknowns`` hidden in favour of ``ls``
4899
(Aaron Bentley)
4900
4901
* ``bzr help checkouts`` descibes what checkouts are and some possible
4902
uses of them. (James Westby, Aaron Bentley)
4903
4904
* A new ``-d`` option to push, pull and merge overrides the default
4905
directory. (Martin Pool)
4906
4907
* Branch format 6: smaller, and potentially faster than format 5. Supports
4908
``append_history_only`` mode, where the log view and revnos do not change,
4909
except by being added to. Stores policy settings in
4910
".bzr/branch/branch.conf".
4911
4912
* ``append_only`` branches: Format 6 branches may be configured so that log
4913
view and revnos are always consistent. Either create the branch using
4914
"bzr init --append-revisions-only" or edit the config file as descriped
4915
in docs/configuration.txt.
4916
4917
* rebind: Format 6 branches retain the last-used bind location, so if you
4918
"bzr unbind", you can "bzr bind" to bind to the previously-selected
4919
bind location.
4920
4921
* Builtin tags support, created and deleted by the ``tag`` command and
4922
stored in the branch. Tags can be accessed with the revisionspec
4923
``-rtag:``, and listed with ``bzr tags``. Tags are not versioned
4924
at present. Tags require a network incompatible upgrade. To perform this
4925
upgrade, run ``bzr upgrade --dirstate-tags`` in your branch and
4926
repositories. (Martin Pool)
4927
4928
* The ``bzr://`` transport now has a well-known port number, 4155,
4929
which it will use by default. (Andrew Bennetts, Martin Pool)
4930
4931
* Bazaar now looks for user-installed plugins before looking for site-wide
4932
plugins. (Jonathan Lange)
4933
4934
* ``bzr resolve`` now detects and marks resolved text conflicts.
4935
(Aaron Bentley)
4936
4937
INTERNALS:
4938
4939
* Internally revision ids and file ids are now passed around as utf-8
4940
bytestrings, rather than treating them as Unicode strings. This has
4941
performance benefits for Knits, since we no longer need to decode the
4942
revision id for each line of content, nor for each entry in the index.
4943
This will also help with the future dirstate format.
4944
(John Arbash Meinel)
4945
4946
* Reserved ids (any revision-id ending in a colon) are rejected by
4947
versionedfiles, repositories, branches, and working trees
4948
(Aaron Bentley)
4949
4950
* Minor performance improvement by not creating a ProgressBar for
4951
every KnitIndex we create. (about 90ms for a bzr.dev tree)
4952
(John Arbash Meinel)
4953
4954
* New easier to use Branch hooks facility. There are five initial hooks,
4955
all documented in bzrlib.branch.BranchHooks.__init__ - ``'set_rh'``,
4956
``'post_push'``, ``'post_pull'``, ``'post_commit'``,
4957
``'post_uncommit'``. These hooks fire after the matching operation
4958
on a branch has taken place, and were originally added for the
4959
branchrss plugin. (Robert Collins)
4960
4961
* New method ``Branch.push()`` which should be used when pushing from a
4962
branch as it makes performance and policy decisions to match the UI
4963
level command ``push``. (Robert Collins).
4964
4965
* Add a new method ``Tree.revision_tree`` which allows access to cached
4966
trees for arbitrary revisions. This allows the in development dirstate
4967
tree format to provide access to the callers to cached copies of
4968
inventory data which are cheaper to access than inventories from the
4969
repository.
4970
(Robert Collins, Martin Pool)
4971
4972
* New ``Branch.last_revision_info`` method, this is being done to allow
4973
optimization of requests for both the number of revisions and the last
4974
revision of a branch with smartservers and potentially future branch
4975
formats. (Wouter van Heyst, Robert Collins)
4976
4977
* Allow ``'import bzrlib.plugins.NAME'`` to work when the plugin NAME has not
4978
yet been loaded by ``load_plugins()``. This allows plugins to depend on each
4979
other for code reuse without requiring users to perform file-renaming
4980
gymnastics. (Robert Collins)
4981
4982
* New Repository method ``'gather_stats'`` for statistic data collection.
4983
This is expected to grow to cover a number of related uses mainly
4984
related to bzr info. (Robert Collins)
4985
4986
* Log formatters are now managed with a registry.
4987
``log.register_formatter`` continues to work, but callers accessing
4988
the FORMATTERS dictionary directly will not.
4989
4990
* Allow a start message to be passed to the ``edit_commit_message``
4991
function. This will be placed in the message offered to the user
4992
for editing above the separator. It allows a template commit message
4993
to be used more easily. (James Westby)
4994
4995
* ``GPGStrategy.sign()`` will now raise ``BzrBadParameterUnicode`` if
4996
you pass a Unicode string rather than an 8-bit string. Callers need
4997
to be updated to encode first. (John Arbash Meinel)
4998
4999
* Branch.push, pull, merge now return Result objects with information
5000
about what happened, rather than a scattering of various methods. These
5001
are also passed to the post hooks. (Martin Pool)
5002
5003
* File formats and architecture is in place for managing a forest of trees
5004
in bzr, and splitting up existing trees into smaller subtrees, and
5005
finally joining trees to make a larger tree. This is the first iteration
5006
of this support, and the user-facing aspects still require substantial
5007
work. If you wish to experiment with it, use ``bzr upgrade
5008
--dirstate-with-subtree`` in your working trees and repositories.
5009
You can use the hidden commands ``split`` and ``join`` and to create
5010
and manipulate nested trees, but please consider using the nested-trees
5011
branch, which contains substantial UI improvements, instead.

http://code.aaronbentley.com/bzr/bzrrepo/nested-trees/
5013
(Aaron Bentley, Martin Pool, Robert Collins).
5014
5015
BUGFIXES:
5016
5017
* ``bzr annotate`` now uses dotted revnos from the viewpoint of the
5018
branch, rather than the last changed revision of the file.
5019
(John Arbash Meinel, #82158)
5020
5021
* Lock operations no longer hang if they encounter a permission problem.
5022
(Aaron Bentley)
5023
5024
* ``bzr push`` can resume a push that was canceled before it finished.
5025
Also, it can push even if the target directory exists if you supply
5026
the ``--use-existing-dir`` flag.
5027
(John Arbash Meinel, #30576, #45504)
5028
5029
* Fix http proxy authentication when user and an optional
5030
password appears in the ``*_proxy`` vars. (Vincent Ladeuil,
5031
#83954).
5032
5033
* ``bzr log branch/file`` works for local treeless branches
5034
(Aaron Bentley, #84247)
5035
5036
* Fix problem with UNC paths on Windows 98. (Alexander Belchenko, #84728)
5037
5038
* Searching location of CA bundle for PyCurl in env variable
5039
(``CURL_CA_BUNDLE``), and on win32 along the PATH.
5040
(Alexander Belchenko, #82086)
5041
5042
* ``bzr init`` works with unicode argument LOCATION.
5043
(Alexander Belchenko, #85599)
5044
5045
* Raise ``DependencyNotPresent`` if pycurl do not support https.
5046
(Vincent Ladeuil, #85305)
5047
5048
* Invalid proxy env variables should not cause a traceback.
5049
(Vincent Ladeuil, #87765)
5050
5051
* Ignore patterns normalised to use '/' path separator.
5052
(Kent Gibson, #86451)
5053
5054
* bzr rocks. It sure does! Fix case. (Vincent Ladeuil, #78026)

5057
(Johan Dahlberg, #75577)
5058

5071
5072
BUG FIXES:
5073
5074
* Skip documentation generation tests if the tools to do so are not
5075
available. Fixes running selftest for installled copies of bzr.
5076
(John Arbash Meinel, #80330)
5077
5078
* Fix the code that discovers whether bzr is being run from it's
5079
working tree to handle the case when it isn't but the directory
5080
it is in is below a repository. (James Westby, #77306)

bzr 0.14rc1 2007-01-16
5084
-----------------------
5085
5086
IMPROVEMENTS:
5087
5088
* New connection: ``bzr+http://`` which supports tunnelling the smart
5089
protocol over an HTTP connection. If writing is enabled on the bzr
5090
server, then you can write over the http connection.
5091
(Andrew Bennetts, John Arbash Meinel)
5092
5093
* Aliases now support quotation marks, so they can contain whitespace
5094
(Marius Kruger)
5095
5096
* PyCurlTransport now use a single curl object. By specifying explicitly
5097
the 'Range' header, we avoid the need to use two different curl objects
5098
(and two connections to the same server). (Vincent Ladeuil)
5099
5100
* ``bzr commit`` does not prompt for a message until it is very likely to
5101
succeed. (Aaron Bentley)
5102
5103
* ``bzr conflicts`` now takes --text to list pathnames of text conflicts
5104
(Aaron Bentley)
5105
5106
* Fix ``iter_lines_added_or_present_in_versions`` to use a set instead
5107
of a list while checking if a revision id was requested. Takes 10s
5108
off of the ``fileids_affected_by_revision_ids`` time, which is 10s
5109
of the ``bzr branch`` time. Also improve ``fileids_...`` time by
5110
filtering lines with a regex rather than multiple ``str.find()``
5111
calls. (saves another 300ms) (John Arbash Meinel)
5112
5113
* Policy can be set for each configuration key. This allows keys to be
5114
inherited properly across configuration entries. For example, this
5115
should enable you to do::
5116
5117
[/home/user/project]
5118
push_location = sftp://host/srv/project/
5119
push_location:policy = appendpath
5120
5121
And then a branch like ``/home/user/project/mybranch`` should get an
5122
automatic push location of ``sftp://host/srv/project/mybranch``.
5123
(James Henstridge)
5124
5125
* Added ``bzr status --short`` to make status report svn style flags
5126
for each file. For example::
5127
5128
$ bzr status --short
5129
A foo
5130
A bar
5131
D baz
5132
? wooley
5133
5134
* 'bzr selftest --clean-output' allows easily clean temporary tests
5135
directories without running tests. (Alexander Belchenko)
5136
5137
* ``bzr help hidden-commands`` lists all hidden commands. (Aaron Bentley)
5138
5139
* ``bzr merge`` now has an option ``--pull`` to fall back to pull if
5140
local is fully merged into remote. (Jan Hudec)
5141
5142
* ``bzr help formats`` describes available directory formats. (Aaron Bentley)
5143
5144
INTERNALS:
5145
5146
* A few tweaks directly to ``fileids_affected_by_revision_ids`` to
5147
help speed up processing, as well allowing to extract unannotated
5148
lines. Between the two ``fileids_affected_by_revision_ids`` is
5149
improved by approx 10%. (John Arbash Meinel)
5150
5151
* Change Revision serialization to only write out millisecond
5152
resolution. Rather than expecting floating point serialization to
5153
preserve more resolution than we need. (Henri Weichers, Martin Pool)
5154
5155
* Test suite ends cleanly on Windows. (Vincent Ladeuil)
5156
5157
* When ``encoding_type`` attribute of class Command is equal to 'exact',
5158
force sys.stdout to be a binary stream on Windows, and therefore
5159
keep exact line-endings (without LF -> CRLF conversion).
5160
(Alexander Belchenko)
5161
5162
* Single-letter short options are no longer globally declared. (Martin
5163
Pool)
5164
5165
* Before using detected user/terminal encoding bzr should check
5166
that Python has corresponding codec. (Alexander Belchenko)
5167
5168
* Formats for end-user selection are provided via a FormatRegistry (Aaron Bentley)
5169
5170
BUG FIXES:
5171
5172
* ``bzr missing --verbose`` was showing adds/removals in the wrong
5173
direction. (John Arbash Meinel)
5174
5175
* ``bzr annotate`` now defaults to showing dotted revnos for merged
5176
revisions. It cuts them off at a depth of 12 characters, but you can
5177
supply ``--long`` to see the full number. You can also use
5178
``--show-ids`` to display the original revision ids, rather than
5179
revision numbers and committer names. (John Arbash Meinel, #75637)
5180
5181
* bzr now supports Win32 UNC path (e.g. ``\HOST\path``.
5182
(Alexander Belchenko, #57869)
5183
5184
* Win32-specific: output of cat, bundle and diff commands don't mangle
5185
line-endings (Alexander Belchenko, #55276)
5186
5187
* Replace broken fnmatch based ignore pattern matching with custom pattern
5188
matcher.
5189
(Kent Gibson, Jan Hudec #57637)
5190
5191
* pycurl and urllib can detect short reads at different places. Update
5192
the test suite to test more cases. Also detect http error code 416
5193
which was raised for that specific bug. Also enhance the urllib
5194
robustness by detecting invalid ranges (and pycurl's one by detecting
5195
short reads during the initial GET). (Vincent Ladeuil, #73948)
5196
5197
* The urllib connection sharing interacts badly with urllib2
5198
proxy setting (the connections didn't go thru the proxy
5199
anymore). Defining a proper ProxyHandler solves the
5200
problem. (Vincent Ladeuil, #74759)
5201
5202
* Use urlutils to generate relative URLs, not osutils
5203
(Aaron Bentley, #76229)
5204
5205
* ``bzr status`` in a readonly directory should work without giving
5206
lots of errors. (John Arbash Meinel, #76299)
5207
5208
* Mention the revisionspec topic for the revision option help.
5209
(Wouter van Heyst, #31663)
5210
5211
* Allow plugins import from zip archives.

5223
IMPROVEMENTS:
5224
5225
* New command ``bzr remove-tree`` allows the removal of the working
5226
tree from a branch.
5227
(Daniel Silverstone)
5228
5229
* urllib uses shared keep-alive connections, so http
5230
operations are substantially faster.
5231
(Vincent Ladeuil, #53654)
5232
5233
* ``bzr export`` allows an optional branch parameter, to export a bzr
5234
tree from some other url. For example:
5235
``bzr export bzr.tar.gz http://bazaar-vcs.org/bzr/bzr.dev``
5236
(Daniel Silverstone)
5237
5238
* Added ``bzr help topics`` to the bzr help system. This gives a
5239
location for general information, outside of a specific command.
5240
This includes updates for ``bzr help revisionspec`` the first topic
5241
included. (Goffredo Baroncelli, John Arbash Meinel, #42714)
5242
5243
* WSGI-compatible HTTP smart server. See ``doc/http_smart_server.txt``.
5244
(Andrew Bennetts)
5245
5246
* Knit files will now cache full texts only when the size of the
5247
deltas is as large as the size of the fulltext. (Or after 200
5248
deltas, whichever comes first). This has the most benefit on large
5249
files with small changes, such as the inventory for a large project.
5250
(eg For a project with 2500 files, and 7500 revisions, it changes
5251
the size of inventory.knit from 11MB to 5.4MB) (John Arbash Meinel)
5252
5253
INTERNALS:
5254
5255
* New -D option given before the command line turns on debugging output
5256
for particular areas. -Derror shows tracebacks on all errors.
5257
(Martin Pool)
5258
5259
* Clean up ``bzr selftest --benchmark bundle`` to correct an import,
5260
and remove benchmarks that take longer than 10min to run.
5261
(John Arbash Meinel)
5262
5263
* Use ``time.time()`` instead of ``time.clock()`` to decide on
5264
progress throttling. Because ``time.clock()`` is actually CPU time,
5265
so over a high-latency connection, too many updates get throttled.
5266
(John Arbash Meinel)
5267
5268
* ``MemoryTransport.list_dir()`` would strip the first character for
5269
files or directories in root directory. (John Arbash Meinel)
5270
5271
* New method ``get_branch_reference`` on 'BzrDir' allows the detection of
5272
branch references - which the smart server component needs.
5273
5274
* New ``ChrootTransportDecorator``, accessible via the ``chroot+`` url
5275
prefix. It disallows any access to locations above a set URL. (Andrew
5276
Bennetts)
5277
5278
BUG FIXES:
5279
5280
* Now ``_KnitIndex`` properly decode revision ids when loading index data.
5281
And optimize the knit index parsing code.
5282
(Dmitry Vasiliev, John Arbash Meinel)
5283
5284
* ``bzrlib/bzrdir.py`` was directly referencing ``bzrlib.workingtree``,
5285
without importing it. This prevented ``bzr upgrade`` from working
5286
unless a plugin already imported ``bzrlib.workingtree``
5287
(John Arbash Meinel, #70716)
5288
5289
* Suppress the traceback on invalid URLs (Vincent Ladeuil, #70803).
5290
5291
* Give nicer error message when an http server returns a 403
5292
error code. (Vincent Ladeuil, #57644).
5293
5294
* When a multi-range http GET request fails, try a single
5295
range one. If it fails too, forget about ranges. Remember that until
5296
the death of the transport and propagates that to the clones.
5297
(Vincent Ladeuil, #62276, #62029).
5298
5299
* Handles user/passwords supplied in url from command
5300
line (for the urllib implementation). Don't request already
5301
known passwords (Vincent Ladeuil, #42383, #44647, #48527)
5302
5303
* ``_KnitIndex.add_versions()`` dictionary compresses revision ids as they
5304
are added. This fixes bug where fetching remote revisions records
5305
them as full references rather than integers.
5306
(John Arbash Meinel, #64789)
5307
5308
* ``bzr ignore`` strips trailing slashes in patterns.
5309
Also ``bzr ignore`` rejects absolute paths. (Kent Gibson, #4559)
5310
5311
* ``bzr ignore`` takes multiple arguments. (Cheuksan Edward Wang, #29488)
5312
5313
* mv correctly handles paths that traverse symlinks.
5314
(Aaron Bentley, #66964)
5315
5316
* Give nicer looking error messages when failing to connect over ssh.
5317
(John Arbash Meinel, #49172)
5318
5319
* Pushing to a remote branch does not currently update the remote working
5320
tree. After a remote push, ``bzr status`` and ``bzr diff`` on the remote
5321
machine now show that the working tree is out of date.
5322
(Cheuksan Edward Wang #48136)
5323
5324
* Use patiencediff instead of difflib for determining deltas to insert
5325
into knits. This avoids the O(N^3) behavior of difflib. Patience
5326
diff should be O(N^2). (Cheuksan Edward Wang, #65714)
5327
5328
* Running ``bzr log`` on nonexistent file gives an error instead of the
5329
entire log history. (Cheuksan Edward Wang #50793)
5330
5331
* ``bzr cat`` can look up contents of removed or renamed files. If the
5332
pathname is ambiguous, i.e. the files in the old and new trees have
5333
different id's, the default is the file in the new tree. The user can
5334
use "--name-from-revision" to select the file in the old tree.
5335
(Cheuksan Edward Wang, #30190)
5336
5337
TESTING:
5338
5339
* TestingHTTPRequestHandler really handles the Range header
5340
(previously it was ignoring it and returning the whole file,).

5343
--------------------
5344
5345
INTERNALS:
5346
5347
* Clean up ``bzr selftest --benchmark bundle`` to correct an import,
5348
and remove benchmarks that take longer than 10min to run.
5349
(John Arbash Meinel)
5350
5351
bzr 0.12rc1 2006-10-23
5352
-----------------------
5353
5354
IMPROVEMENTS:
5355
5356
* ``bzr log`` now shows dotted-decimal revision numbers for all revisions,
5357
rather than just showing a decimal revision number for revisions on the
5358
mainline. These revision numbers are not yet accepted as input into bzr
5359
commands such as log, diff etc. (Robert Collins)
5360
5361
* revisions can now be specified using dotted-decimal revision numbers.
5362
For instance, ``bzr diff -r 1.2.1..1.2.3``. (Robert Collins)
5363
5364
* ``bzr help commands`` output is now shorter (Aaron Bentley)
5365
5366
* ``bzr`` now uses lazy importing to reduce the startup time. This has
5367
a moderate effect on lots of actions, especially ones that have
5368
little to do. For example ``bzr rocks`` time is down to 116ms from
5369
283ms. (John Arbash Meinel)
5370
5371
* New Registry class to provide name-to-object registry-like support,
5372
for example for schemes where plugins can register new classes to
5373
do certain tasks (e.g. log formatters). Also provides lazy registration
5374
to allow modules to be loaded on request.
5375
(John Arbash Meinel, Adeodato Simó)
5376
5377
API INCOMPATABILITY:
5378
5379
* LogFormatter subclasses show now expect the 'revno' parameter to
5380
show() to be a string rather than an int. (Robert Collins)
5381
5382
INTERNALS:
5383
5384
* ``TestCase.run_bzr``, ``run_bzr_captured``, and ``run_bzr_subprocess``
5385
can take a ``working_dir='foo'`` parameter, which will change directory
5386
for the command. (John Arbash Meinel)
5387
5388
* ``bzrlib.lazy_regex.lazy_compile`` can be used to create a proxy
5389
around a regex, which defers compilation until first use.
5390
(John Arbash Meinel)
5391
5392
* ``TestCase.run_bzr_subprocess`` defaults to supplying the
5393
``--no-plugins`` parameter to ensure test reproducability, and avoid
5394
problems with system-wide installed plugins. (John Arbash Meinel)
5395
5396
* Unique tree root ids are now supported. Newly created trees still
5397
use the common root id for compatibility with bzr versions before 0.12.
5398
(Aaron Bentley)
5399
5400
* ``WorkingTree.set_root_id(None)`` is now deprecated. Please
5401
pass in ``inventory.ROOT_ID`` if you want the default root id value.
5402
(Robert Collins, John Arbash Meinel)
5403
5404
* New method ``WorkingTree.flush()`` which will write the current memory
5405
inventory out to disk. At the same time, ``read_working_inventory`` will
5406
no longer trash the current tree inventory if it has been modified within
5407
the current lock, and the tree will now ``flush()`` automatically on
5408
``unlock()``. ``WorkingTree.set_root_id()`` has been updated to take
5409
advantage of this functionality. (Robert Collins, John Arbash Meinel)
5410
5411
* ``bzrlib.tsort.merge_sorted`` now accepts ``generate_revnos``. This
5412
parameter will cause it to add another column to its output, which
5413
contains the dotted-decimal revno for each revision, as a tuple.
5414
(Robert Collins)
5415
5416
* ``LogFormatter.show_merge`` is deprecated in favour of
5417
``LogFormatter.show_merge_revno``. (Robert Collins)
5418
5419
BUG FIXES:
5420
5421
* Avoid circular imports by creating a deprecated function for
5422
``bzrlib.tree.RevisionTree``. Callers should have been using
5423
``bzrlib.revisontree.RevisionTree`` anyway. (John Arbash Meinel,
5424
#63360, #66349)
5425
5426
* Don't use ``socket.MSG_WAITALL`` as it doesn't exist on all
5427
platforms. (Martin Pool, #66356)
5428
5429
* Don't require ``Content-Type`` in range responses. Assume they are a
5430
single range if ``Content-Type`` does not exist.
5431
(John Arbash Meinel, #62473)
5432
5433
* bzr branch/pull no longer complain about progress bar cleanup when
5434
interrupted during fetch. (Aaron Bentley, #54000)
5435
5436
* ``WorkingTree.set_parent_trees()`` uses the trees to directly write
5437
the basis inventory, rather than going through the repository. This
5438
allows us to have 1 inventory read, and 2 inventory writes when
5439
committing a new tree. (John Arbash Meinel)
5440
5441
* When reverting, files that are not locally modified that do not exist
5442
in the target are deleted, not just unversioned (Aaron Bentley)
5443
5444
* When trying to acquire a lock, don't fail immediately. Instead, try
5445
a few times (up to 1 hour) before timing out. Also, report why the
5446
lock is unavailable (John Arbash Meinel, #43521, #49556)
5447
5448
* Leave HttpTransportBase daughter classes decides how they
5449
implement cloning. (Vincent Ladeuil, #61606)
5450
5451
* diff3 does not indicate conflicts on clean merge. (Aaron Bentley)
5452
5453
* If a commit fails, the commit message is stored in a file at the root of
5454
the tree for later commit. (Cheuksan Edward Wang, Stefan Metzmacher,
5455
#32054)
5456
5457
TESTING:
5458
5459
* New test base class TestCaseWithMemoryTransport offers memory-only
5460
testing facilities: its not suitable for tests that need to mutate disk
5461
state, but most tests should not need that and should be converted to
5462
TestCaseWithMemoryTransport. (Robert Collins)
5463
5464
* ``TestCase.make_branch_and_memory_tree`` now takes a format
5465
option to set the BzrDir, Repository and Branch formats of the
5466
created objects. (Robert Collins, John Arbash Meinel)
5467
5468
bzr 0.11 2006-10-02

5483
bzr 0.11rc1 2006-09-25
5484
-----------------------
5485
5486
IMPROVEMENTS:
5487
5488
* Knit files now wait to create their contents until the first data is
5489
added. The old code used to create an empty .knit and a .kndx with just
5490
the header. However, this caused a lot of extra round trips over sftp.
5491
This can change the time for ``bzr push`` to create a new remote branch
5492
from 160s down to 100s. This also affects ``bzr commit`` performance when
5493
adding new files, ``bzr commit`` on a new kernel-like tree drops from 50s
5494
down to 40s (John Arbash Meinel, #44692)
5495
5496
* When an entire subtree has been deleted, commit will now report that
5497
just the top of the subtree has been deleted, rather than reporting
5498
all the individual items. (Robert Collins)
5499
5500
* Commit performs one less XML parse. (Robert Collins)
5501
5502
* ``bzr checkout`` now operates on readonly branches as well
5503
as readwrite branches. This fixes bug #39542. (Robert Collins)
5504
5505
* ``bzr bind`` no longer synchronises history with the master branch.
5506
Binding should be followed by an update or push to synchronise the
5507
two branches. This is closely related to the fix for bug #39542.
5508
(Robert Collins)
5509
5510
* ``bzrlib.lazy_import.lazy_import`` function to create on-demand
5511
objects. This allows all imports to stay at the global scope, but
5512
modules will not actually be imported if they are not used.
5513
(John Arbash Meinel)
5514
5515
* Support ``bzr://`` and ``bzr+ssh://`` urls to work with the new RPC-based
5516
transport which will be used with the upcoming high-performance smart
5517
server. The new command ``bzr serve`` will invoke bzr in server mode,
5518
which processes these requests. (Andrew Bennetts, Robert Collins, Martin
5519
Pool)
5520
5521
* New command ``bzr version-info`` which can be used to get a summary
5522
of the current state of the tree. This is especially useful as part
5523
of a build commands. See ``doc/version_info.txt`` for more information
5524
(John Arbash Meinel)
5525
5526
BUG FIXES:
5527
5528
* ``'bzr inventory [FILE...]'`` allows restricting the file list to a
5529
specific set of files. (John Arbash Meinel, #3631)
5530
5531
* Don't abort when annotating empty files (John Arbash Meinel, #56814)
5532
5533
* Add ``Stanza.to_unicode()`` which can be passed to another Stanza
5534
when nesting stanzas. Also, add ``read_stanza_unicode`` to handle when
5535
reading a nested Stanza. (John Arbash Meinel)
5536
5537
* Transform._set_mode() needs to stat the right file.
5538
(John Arbash Meinel, #56549)
5539
5540
* Raise WeaveFormatError rather than StopIteration when trying to read
5541
an empty Weave file. (John Arbash Meinel, #46871)
5542
5543
* Don't access e.code for generic URLErrors, only HTTPErrors have .code.
5544
(Vincent Ladeuil, #59835)
5545
5546
* Handle boundary="" lines properly to allow access through a Squid proxy.
5547
(John Arbash Meinel, #57723)
5548
5549
* revert now removes newly-added directories (Aaron Bentley, #54172)
5550
5551
* ``bzr upgrade sftp://`` shouldn't fail to upgrade v6 branches if there
5552
isn't a working tree. (David Allouche, #40679)
5553
5554
* Give nicer error messages when a user supplies an invalid --revision
5555
parameter. (John Arbash Meinel, #55420)
5556
5557
* Handle when LANG is not recognized by python. Emit a warning, but
5558
just revert to using 'ascii'. (John Arbash Meinel, #35392)
5559
5560
* Don't use ``preexec_fn`` on win32, as it is not supported by subprocess.
5561
(John Arbash Meinel)
5562
5563
* Skip specific tests when the dependencies aren't met. This includes
5564
some ``setup.py`` tests when ``python-dev`` is not available, and
5565
some tests that depend on paramiko. (John Arbash Meinel, Mattheiu Moy)
5566
5567
* Fallback to Paramiko properly, if no ``ssh`` executable exists on
5568
the system. (Andrew Bennetts, John Arbash Meinel)
5569
5570
* ``Branch.bind(other_branch)`` no longer takes a write lock on the
5571
other branch, and will not push or pull between the two branches.
5572
API users will need to perform a push or pull or update operation if they
5573
require branch synchronisation to take place. (Robert Collins, #47344)
5574
5575
* When creating a tarball or zipfile export, export unicode names as utf-8
5576
paths. This may not work perfectly on all platforms, but has the best
5577
chance of working in the common case. (John Arbash Meinel, #56816)
5578
5579
* When committing, only files that exist in working tree or basis tree
5580
may be specified (Aaron Bentley, #50793)
5581
5582
PORTABILITY:
5583
5584
* Fixes to run on Python 2.5 (Brian M. Carlson, Martin Pool, Marien Zwart)
5585
5586
INTERNALS:
5587
5588
* TestCaseInTempDir now creates a separate directory for HOME, rather
5589
than having HOME set to the same location as the working directory.
5590
(John Arbash Meinel)
5591
5592
* ``run_bzr_subprocess()`` can take an optional ``env_changes={}`` parameter,
5593
which will update os.environ inside the spawned child. It also can
5594
take a ``universal_newlines=True``, which helps when checking the output
5595
of the command. (John Arbash Meinel)
5596
5597
* Refactor SFTP vendors to allow easier re-use when ssh is used.
5598
(Andrew Bennetts)
5599
5600
* ``Transport.list_dir()`` and ``Transport.iter_files_recursive()`` should always
5601
return urlescaped paths. This is now tested (there were bugs in a few
5602
of the transports) (Andrew Bennetts, David Allouche, John Arbash Meinel)
5603
5604
* New utility function ``symbol_versioning.deprecation_string``. Returns the
5605
formatted string for a callable, deprecation format pair. (Robert Collins)
5606
5607
* New TestCase helper applyDeprecated. This allows you to call a callable
5608
which is deprecated without it spewing to the screen, just by supplying
5609
the deprecation format string issued for it. (Robert Collins)
5610
5611
* Transport.append and Transport.put have been deprecated in favor of
5612
``.append_bytes``, ``.append_file``, ``.put_bytes``, and
5613
``.put_file``. This removes the ambiguity in what type of object the
5614
functions take. ``Transport.non_atomic_put_{bytes,file}`` has also
5615
been added. Which works similarly to ``Transport.append()`` except for
5616
SFTP, it doesn't have a round trip when opening the file. Also, it
5617
provides functionality for creating a parent directory when trying
5618
to create a file, rather than raise NoSuchFile and forcing the
5619
caller to repeat their request.
5620
(John Arbash Meinel)
5621
5622
* WorkingTree has a new api ``unversion`` which allow the unversioning of
5623
entries by their file id. (Robert Collins)
5624
5625
* ``WorkingTree.pending_merges`` is deprecated. Please use the
5626
``get_parent_ids`` (introduced in 0.10) method instead. (Robert Collins)
5627
5628
* WorkingTree has a new ``lock_tree_write`` method which locks the branch for
5629
read rather than write. This is appropriate for actions which only need
5630
the branch data for reference rather than mutation. A new decorator
5631
``needs_tree_write_lock`` is provided in the workingtree module. Like the
5632
``needs_read_lock`` and ``needs_write_lock`` decorators this allows static
5633
declaration of the locking requirements of a function to ensure that
5634
a lock is taken out for casual scripts. (Robert Collins, #54107)
5635
5636
* All WorkingTree methods which write to the tree, but not to the branch
5637
have been converted to use ``needs_tree_write_lock`` rather than
5638
``needs_write_lock``. Also converted is the revert, conflicts and tree
5639
transform modules. This provides a modest performance improvement on
5640
metadir style trees, due to the reduce lock-acquisition, and a more
5641
significant performance improvement on lightweight checkouts from
5642
remote branches, where trivial operations used to pay a significant
5643
penalty. It also provides the basis for allowing readonly checkouts.
5644
(Robert Collins)
5645
5646
* Special case importing the standard library 'copy' module. This shaves
5647
off 40ms of startup time, while retaining compatibility. See:
5648
``bzrlib/inspect_for_copy.py`` for more details. (John Arbash Meinel)
5649
5650
* WorkingTree has a new parent class MutableTree which represents the
5651
specialisations of Tree which are able to be altered. (Robert Collins)
5652
5653
* New methods mkdir and ``put_file_bytes_non_atomic`` on MutableTree that
5654
mutate the tree and its contents. (Robert Collins)
5655
5656
* Transport behaviour at the root of the URL is now defined and tested.
5657
(Andrew Bennetts, Robert Collins)
5658
5659
TESTING:
5660
5661
* New test helper classs MemoryTree. This is typically accessed via
5662
``self.make_branch_and_memory_tree()`` in test cases. (Robert Collins)
5663
5664
* Add ``start_bzr_subprocess`` and ``stop_bzr_subprocess`` to allow test
5665
code to continue running concurrently with a subprocess of bzr.
5666
(Andrew Bennetts, Robert Collins)
5667
5668
* Add a new method ``Transport.get_smart_client()``. This is provided to
5669
allow upgrades to a richer interface than the VFS one provided by
5670
Transport. (Andrew Bennetts, Martin Pool)
5671
5672
bzr 0.10 2006-08-29
5673
--------------------
5674
5675
IMPROVEMENTS:
5676
* 'merge' now takes --uncommitted, to apply uncommitted changes from a
5677
tree. (Aaron Bentley)
5678
5679
* 'bzr add --file-ids-from' can be used to specify another path to use
5680
for creating file ids, rather than generating all new ones. Internally,
5681
the 'action' passed to ``smart_add_tree()`` can return ``file_ids`` that
5682
will be used, rather than having bzrlib generate new ones.
5683
(John Arbash Meinel, #55781)
5684
5685
* ``bzr selftest --benchmark`` now allows a ``--cache-dir`` parameter.
5686
This will cache some of the intermediate trees, and decrease the
5687
setup time for benchmark tests. (John Arbash Meinel)
5688
5689
* Inverse forms are provided for all boolean options. For example,
5690
--strict has --no-strict, --no-recurse has --recurse (Aaron Bentley)
5691
5692
* Serialize out Inventories directly, rather than using ElementTree.
5693
Writing out a kernel sized inventory drops from 2s down to ~350ms.
5694
(Robert Collins, John Arbash Meinel)
5695
5696
BUG FIXES:
5697
5698
* Help diffutils 2.8.4 get along with binary tests (Marien Zwart: #57614)
5699
5700
* Change LockDir so that if the lock directory doesn't exist when
5701
``lock_write()`` is called, an attempt will be made to create it.
5702
(John Arbash Meinel, #56974)
5703
5704
* ``bzr uncommit`` preserves pending merges. (John Arbash Meinel, #57660)
5705
5706
* Active FTP transport now works as intended. (ghozzy, #56472)
5707
5708
* Really fix mutter() so that it won't ever raise a UnicodeError.
5709
It means it is possible for ~/.bzr.log to contain non UTF-8 characters.
5710
But it is a debugging log, not a real user file.
5711
(John Arbash Meinel, #56947, #53880)
5712
5713
* Change Command handle to allow Unicode command and options.
5714
At present we cannot register Unicode command names, so we will get
5715
BzrCommandError('unknown command'), or BzrCommandError('unknown option')
5716
But that is better than a UnicodeError + a traceback.
5717
(John Arbash Meinel, #57123)
5718
5719
* Handle TZ=UTC properly when reading/writing revisions.
5720
(John Arbash Meinel, #55783, #56290)
5721
5722
* Use ``GPG_TTY`` to allow gpg --cl to work with gpg-agent in a pipeline,
5723
(passing text to sign in on stdin). (John Arbash Meinel, #54468)
5724
5725
* External diff does the right thing for binaries even in foreign
5726
languages. (John Arbash Meinel, #56307)
5727
5728
* Testament handles more cases when content is unicode. Specific bug was
5729
in handling of revision properties.
5730
(John Arbash Meinel, Holger Krekel, #54723)
5731
5732
* The bzr selftest was failing on installed versions due to a bug in a new
5733
test helper. (John Arbash Meinel, Robert Collins, #58057)
5734
5735
INTERNALS:
5736
5737
* ``bzrlib.cache_utf8`` contains ``encode()`` and ``decode()`` functions
5738
which can be used to cache the conversion between utf8 and Unicode.
5739
Especially helpful for some of the knit annotation code, which has to
5740
convert revision ids to utf8 to annotate lines in storage.
5741
(John Arbash Meinel)
5742
5743
* ``setup.py`` now searches the filesystem to find all packages which
5744
need to be installed. This should help make the life of packagers
5745
easier. (John Arbash Meinel)
5746
5747
bzr 0.9.0 2006-08-11
5748
---------------------
5749
5750
SURPRISES:
5751
5752
* The hard-coded built-in ignore rules have been removed. There are
5753
now two rulesets which are enforced. A user global one in
5754
``~/.bazaar/ignore`` which will apply to every tree, and the tree
5755
specific one '.bzrignore'.
5756
``~/.bazaar/ignore`` will be created if it does not exist, but with
5757
a more conservative list than the old default.
5758
This fixes bugs with default rules being enforced no matter what.
5759
The old list of ignore rules from bzr is available by
5760
running 'bzr ignore --old-default-rules'.
5761
(Robert Collins, Martin Pool, John Arbash Meinel)
5762
5763
* 'branches.conf' has been changed to 'locations.conf', since it can apply
5764
to more locations than just branch locations.
5765
(Aaron Bentley)
5766
5767
IMPROVEMENTS:
5768
5769
* The revision specifier "revno:" is extended to accept the syntax
5770
revno:N:branch. For example,
5771
revno:42:http://bazaar-vcs.org/bzr/bzr.dev/ means revision 42 in
5772
bzr.dev. (Matthieu Moy)
5773
5774
* Tests updates to ensure proper URL handling, UNICODE support, and
5775
proper printing when the user's terminal encoding cannot display
5776
the path of a file that has been versioned.
5777
``bzr branch`` can take a target URL rather than only a local directory.
5778
``Branch.get_parent()/set_parent()`` now save a relative path if possible,
5779
and normalize the parent based on root, allowing access across
5780
different transports. (John Arbash Meinel, Wouter van Heyst, Martin Pool)
5781
(Malone #48906, #42699, #40675, #5281, #3980, #36363, #43689,
5782
#42517, #42514)
5783
5784
* On Unix, detect terminal width using an ioctl not just $COLUMNS.
5785
Use terminal width for single-line logs from ``bzr log --line`` and
5786
pending-merge display. (Robert Widhopf-Fenk, Gustavo Niemeyer)
5787
(Malone #3507)
5788
5789
* On Windows, detect terminal width using GetConsoleScreenBufferInfo.
5790
(Alexander Belchenko)
5791
5792
* Speedup improvement for 'date:'-revision search. (Guillaume Pinot).
5793
5794
* Show the correct number of revisions pushed when pushing a new branch.
5795
(Robert Collins).
5796
5797
* 'bzr selftest' now shows a progress bar with the number of tests, and
5798
progress made. 'make check' shows tests in -v mode, to be more useful
5799
for the PQM status window. (Robert Collins).
5800
When using a progress bar, failed tests are printed out, rather than
5801
being overwritten by the progress bar until the suite finishes.
5802
(John Arbash Meinel)
5803
5804
* 'bzr selftest --benchmark' will run a new benchmarking selftest.
5805
'bzr selftest --benchmark --lsprof-timed' will use lsprofile to generate
5806
profile data for the individual profiled calls, allowing for fine
5807
grained analysis of performance.
5808
(Robert Collins, Martin Pool).
5809
5810
* 'bzr commit' shows a progress bar. This is useful for commits over sftp
5811
where commit can take an appreciable time. (Robert Collins)
5812
5813
* 'bzr add' is now less verbose in telling you what ignore globs were
5814
matched by files being ignored. Instead it just tells you how many
5815
were ignored (because you might reasonably be expecting none to be
5816
ignored). 'bzr add -v' is unchanged and will report every ignored
5817
file. (Robert Collins).
5818
5819
* ftp now has a test server if medusa is installed. As part of testing,
5820
ftp support has been improved, including support for supplying a
5821
non-standard port. (John Arbash Meinel).
5822
5823
* 'bzr log --line' shows the revision number, and uses only the
5824
first line of the log message (#5162, Alexander Belchenko;
5825
Matthieu Moy)
5826
5827
* 'bzr status' has had the --all option removed. The 'bzr ls' command
5828
should be used to retrieve all versioned files. (Robert Collins)
5829
5830
* 'bzr bundle OTHER/BRANCH' will create a bundle which can be sent
5831
over email, and applied on the other end, while maintaining ancestry.
5832
This bundle can be applied with either 'bzr merge' or 'bzr pull',
5833
the same way you would apply another branch.
5834
(John Arbash Meinel, Aaron Bentley)
5835
5836
* 'bzr whoami' can now be used to set your identity from the command line,
5837
for a branch or globally. (Robey Pointer)
5838
5839
* 'bzr checkout' now aliased to 'bzr co', and 'bzr annotate' to 'bzr ann'.
5840
(Michael Ellerman)
5841
5842
* 'bzr revert DIRECTORY' now reverts the contents of the directory as well.
5843
(Aaron Bentley)
5844
5845
* 'bzr get sftp://foo' gives a better error when paramiko is not present.
5846
Also updates things like 'http+pycurl://' if pycurl is not present.
5847
(John Arbash Meinel) (Malone #47821, #52204)
5848
5849
* New env variable ``BZR_PROGRESS_BAR``, sets the default progress bar type.
5850
Can be set to 'none' or 'dummy' to disable the progress bar, 'dots' or
5851
'tty' to create the respective type. (John Arbash Meinel, #42197, #51107)
5852
5853
* Improve the help text for 'bzr diff' to explain what various options do.
5854
(John Arbash Meinel, #6391)
5855
5856
* 'bzr uncommit -r 10' now uncommits revisions 11.. rather than uncommitting
5857
revision 10. This makes -r10 more in line with what other commands do.
5858
'bzr uncommit' also now saves the pending merges of the revisions that
5859
were removed. So it is safe to uncommit after a merge, fix something,
5860
and commit again. (John Arbash Meinel, #32526, #31426)
5861
5862
* 'bzr init' now also works on remote locations.
5863
(Wouter van Heyst, #48904)
5864
5865
* HTTP support has been updated. When using pycurl we now support
5866
connection keep-alive, which reduces dns requests and round trips.
5867
And for both urllib and pycurl we support multi-range requests,
5868
which decreases the number of round-trips. Performance results for
5869
``bzr branch http://bazaar-vcs.org/bzr/bzr.dev/`` indicate
5870
http branching is now 2-3x faster, and ``bzr pull`` in an existing
5871
branch is as much as 4x faster.
5872
(Michael Ellerman, Johan Rydberg, John Arbash Meinel, #46768)
5873
5874
* Performance improvements for sftp. Branching and pulling are now up to
5875
2x faster. Utilize paramiko.readv() support for async requests if it
5876
is available (paramiko > 1.6) (John Arbash Meinel)
5877
5878
BUG FIXES:
5879
5880
* Fix shadowed definition of TestLocationConfig that caused some
5881
tests not to run.
5882
(Erik Bågfors, Michael Ellerman, Martin Pool, #32587)
5883
5884
* Fix unnecessary requirement of sign-my-commits that it be run from
5885
a working directory. (Martin Pool, Robert Collins)
5886
5887
* 'bzr push location' will only remember the push location if it succeeds
5888
in connecting to the remote location. (John Arbash Meinel, #49742)
5889
5890
* 'bzr revert' no longer toggles the executable bit on win32
5891
(John Arbash Meinel, #45010)
5892
5893
* Handle broken pipe under win32 correctly. (John Arbash Meinel)
5894
5895
* sftp tests now work correctly on win32 if you have a newer paramiko
5896
(John Arbash Meinel)
5897
5898
* Cleanup win32 test suite, and general cleanup of places where
5899
file handles were being held open. (John Arbash Meinel)
5900
5901
* When specifying filenames for 'diff -r x..y', the name of the file in the
5902
working directory can be used, even if its name is different in both x
5903
and y.
5904
5905
* File-ids containing single- or double-quotes are handled correctly by
5906
push. (Aaron Bentley, #52227)
5907
5908
* Normalize unicode filenames to ensure cross-platform consistency.
5909
(John Arbash Meinel, #43689)
5910
5911
* The argument parser can now handle '-' as an argument. Currently
5912
no code interprets it specially (it is mostly handled as a file named
5913
'-'). But plugins, and future operations can use it.
5914
(John Arbash meinel, #50984)
5915
5916
* Bundles can properly read binary files with a plain '\r' in them.
5917
(John Arbash Meinel, #51927)
5918
5919
* Tuning ``iter_entries()`` to be more efficient (John Arbash Meinel, #5444)
5920
5921
* Lots of win32 fixes (the test suite passes again).
5922
(John Arbash Meinel, #50155)
5923
5924
* Handle openbsd returning None for sys.getfilesystemencoding() (#41183)
5925
5926
* Support ftp APPE (append) to allow Knits to be used over ftp (#42592)
5927
5928
* Removals are only committed if they match the filespec (or if there is
5929
no filespec). (#46635, Aaron Bentley)
5930
5931
* smart-add recurses through all supplied directories
5932
(John Arbash Meinel, #52578)
5933
5934
* Make the bundle reader extra lines before and after the bundle text.
5935
This allows you to parse an email with the bundle inline.
5936
(John Arbash Meinel, #49182)
5937
5938
* Change the file id generator to squash a little bit more. Helps when
5939
working with long filenames on windows. (Also helps for unicode filenames
5940
not generating hidden files). (John Arbash Meinel, #43801)
5941
5942
* Restore terminal mode on C-c while reading sftp password. (#48923,

5944
5945
* Timestamps are rounded to 1ms, and revision entries can be recreated
5946
exactly. (John Arbash Meinel, Jamie Wilkinson, #40693)
5947
5948
* Branch.base has changed to a URL, but ~/.bazaar/locations.conf should
5949
use local paths, since it is user visible (John Arbash Meinel, #53653)
5950
5951
* ``bzr status foo`` when foo was unversioned used to cause a full delta
5952
to be generated (John Arbash Meinel, #53638)
5953
5954
* When reading revision properties, an empty value should be considered
5955
the empty string, not None (John Arbash Meinel, #47782)
5956
5957
* ``bzr diff --diff-options`` can now handle binary files being changed.
5958
Also, the output is consistent when --diff-options is not supplied.
5959
(John Arbash Meinel, #54651, #52930)
5960
5961
* Use the right suffixes for loading plugins (John Arbash Meinel, #51810)
5962
5963
* Fix ``Branch.get_parent()`` to handle the case when the parent is not
5964
accessible (John Arbash Meinel, #52976)
5965
5966
INTERNALS:
5967
5968
* Combine the ignore rules into a single regex rather than looping over
5969
them to reduce the threshold where N^2 behaviour occurs in operations
5970
like status. (Jan Hudec, Robert Collins).
5971
5972
* Appending to ``bzrlib.DEFAULT_IGNORE`` is now deprecated. Instead, use
5973
one of the add functions in bzrlib.ignores. (John Arbash Meinel)
5974
5975
* 'bzr push' should only push the ancestry of the current revision, not
5976
all of the history in the repository. This is especially important for
5977
shared repositories. (John Arbash Meinel)
5978
5979
* ``bzrlib.delta.compare_trees`` now iterates in alphabetically sorted order,
5980
rather than randomly walking the inventories. (John Arbash Meinel)
5981
5982
* Doctests are now run in temporary directories which are cleaned up when
5983
they finish, rather than using special ScratchDir/ScratchBranch objects.
5984
(Martin Pool)
5985
5986
* Split ``check`` into separate methods on the branch and on the repository,
5987
so that it can be specialized in ways that are useful or efficient for
5988
different formats. (Martin Pool, Robert Collins)
5989
5990
* Deprecate ``Repository.all_revision_ids``; most methods don't really need
5991
the global revision graph but only that part leading up to a particular
5992
revision. (Martin Pool, Robert Collins)
5993
5994
* Add a BzrDirFormat ``control_formats`` list which allows for control formats
5995
that do not use '.bzr' to store their data - i.e. '.svn', '.hg' etc.
5996
(Robert Collins, Jelmer Vernooij).
5997
5998
* ``bzrlib.diff.external_diff`` can be redirected to any file-like object.
5999
Uses subprocess instead of spawnvp.
6000
(James Henstridge, John Arbash Meinel, #4047, #48914)
6001
6002
* New command line option '--profile-imports', which will install a custom
6003
importer to log time to import modules and regex compilation time to
6004
sys.stderr (John Arbash Meinel)
6005
6006
* 'EmptyTree' is now deprecated, please use ``repository.revision_tree(None)``
6007
instead. (Robert Collins)
6008

6028
6029
* Separate functionality from assert statements as they are skipped in

6047
list of editors. (Olaf Conradi, #42904)

6066
bzr 0.8 2006-05-08
6067
-------------------
6068
6069
NOTES WHEN UPGRADING:
6070
6071
Release 0.8 of bzr introduces a new format for history storage, called
6072
'knit', as an evolution of to the 'weave' format used in 0.7. Local
6073
and remote operations are faster using knits than weaves. Several
6074
operations including 'init', 'init-repo', and 'upgrade' take a
6075
--format option that controls this. Branching from an existing branch
6076
will keep the same format.
6077
6078
It is possible to merge, pull and push between branches of different
6079
formats but this is slower than moving data between homogenous
6080
branches. It is therefore recommended (but not required) that you
6081
upgrade all branches for a project at the same time. Information on
6082
formats is shown by 'bzr info'.
6083
6084
bzr 0.8 now allows creation of 'repositories', which hold the history
6085
of files and revisions for several branches. Previously bzr kept all
6086
the history for a branch within the .bzr directory at the root of the
6087
branch, and this is still the default. To create a repository, use
6088
the new 'bzr init-repo' command. Branches exist as directories under
6089
the repository and contain just a small amount of information
6090
indicating the current revision of the branch.
6091
6092
bzr 0.8 also supports 'checkouts', which are similar to in cvs and
6093
subversion. Checkouts are associated with a branch (optionally in a
6094
repository), which contains all the historical information. The
6095
result is that a checkout can be deleted without losing any
6096
already-committed revisions. A new 'update' command is also available.
6097
6098
Repositories and checkouts are not supported with the 0.7 storage
6099
format. To use them you must upgrad to either knits, or to the
6100
'metaweave' format, which uses weaves but changes the .bzr directory
6101
arrangement.
6102
6103
6104
IMPROVEMENTS:
6105
6106
* Sftp paths can now be relative, or local, according to the lftp
6107
convention. Paths now take the form::
6108
6109
sftp://user:pass@host:port/~/relative/path
6110
or
6111
sftp://user:pass@host:port/absolute/path
6112
6113
* The FTP transport now tries to reconnect after a temporary
6114
failure. ftp put is made atomic. (Matthieu Moy)
6115
6116
* The FTP transport now maintains a pool of connections, and
6117
reuses them to avoid multiple connections to the same host (like
6118
sftp did). (Daniel Silverstone)
6119
6120
* The ``bzr_man.py`` file has been removed. To create the man page now,
6121
use ``./generate_docs.py man``. The new program can also create other files.
6122
Run ``python generate_docs.py --help`` for usage information.
6123
(Hans Ulrich Niedermann & James Blackwell).
6124
6125
* Man Page now gives full help (James Blackwell).
6126
Help also updated to reflect user config now being stored in .bazaar
6127
(Hans Ulrich Niedermann)
6128
6129
* It's now possible to set aliases in bazaar.conf (Erik Bågfors)
6130
6131
* Pull now accepts a --revision argument (Erik Bågfors)
6132
6133
* ``bzr re-sign`` now allows multiple revisions to be supplied on the command
6134
line. You can now use the following command to sign all of your old
6135
commits::
6136
6137
find .bzr/revision-store// -name my@email-* \
6138
| sed 's/.*\/\/..\///' \
6139
| xargs bzr re-sign
6140
6141
* Upgrade can now upgrade over the network. (Robert Collins)
6142
6143
* Two new commands 'bzr checkout' and 'bzr update' allow for CVS/SVN-alike
6144
behaviour. By default they will cache history in the checkout, but
6145
with --lightweight almost all data is kept in the master branch.
6146
(Robert Collins)
6147
6148
* 'revert' unversions newly-versioned files, instead of deleting them.
6149
6150
* 'merge' is more robust. Conflict messages have changed.
6151
6152
* 'merge' and 'revert' no longer clobber existing files that end in '~' or
6153
'.moved'.
6154
6155
* Default log format can be set in configuration and plugins can register
6156
their own formatters. (Erik Bågfors)
6157
6158
* New 'reconcile' command will check branch consistency and repair indexes
6159
that can become out of sync in pre 0.8 formats. (Robert Collins,
6160
Daniel Silverstone)
6161
6162
* New 'bzr init --format' and 'bzr upgrade --format' option to control
6163
what storage format is created or produced. (Robert Collins,
6164
Martin Pool)
6165
6166
* Add parent location to 'bzr info', if there is one. (Olaf Conradi)
6167
6168
* New developer commands 'weave-list' and 'weave-join'. (Martin Pool)
6169
6170
* New 'init-repository' command, plus support for repositories in 'init'
6171
and 'branch' (Aaron Bentley, Erik Bågfors, Robert Collins)
6172
6173
* Improve output of 'info' command. Show all relevant locations related to
6174
working tree, branch and repository. Use kibibytes for binary quantities.
6175
Fix off-by-one error in missing revisions of working tree. Make 'info'
6176
work on branches, repositories and remote locations. Show locations
6177
relative to the shared repository, if applicable. Show locking status
6178
of locations. (Olaf Conradi)
6179
6180
* Diff and merge now safely handle binary files. (Aaron Bentley)
6181
6182
* 'pull' and 'push' now normalise the revision history, so that any two
6183
branches with the same tip revision will have the same output from 'log'.
6184
(Robert Collins)
6185
6186
* 'merge' accepts --remember option to store parent location, like 'push'
6187
and 'pull'. (Olaf Conradi)
6188
6189
* bzr status and diff when files given as arguments do not exist
6190
in the relevant trees. (Martin Pool, #3619)
6191
6192
* Add '.hg' to the default ignore list. (Martin Pool)
6193
6194
* 'knit' is now the default disk format. This improves disk performance and
6195
utilization, increases incremental pull performance, robustness with SFTP
6196
and allows checkouts over SFTP to perform acceptably.
6197
The initial Knit code was contributed by Johan Rydberg based on a
6198
specification by Martin Pool.
6199
(Robert Collins, Aaron Bentley, Johan Rydberg, Martin Pool).
6200
6201
* New tool to generate all-in-one html version of the manual. (Alexander
6202
Belchenko)
6203
6204
* Hitting CTRL-C while doing an SFTP push will no longer cause stale locks
6205
to be left in the SFTP repository. (Robert Collins, Martin Pool).
6206
6207
* New option 'diff --prefix' to control how files are named in diff
6208
output, with shortcuts '-p0' and '-p1' corresponding to the options for
6209
GNU patch. (Alexander Belchenko, Goffredo Baroncelli, Martin Pool)
6210
6211
* Add --revision option to 'annotate' command. (Olaf Conradi)
6212
6213
* If bzr shows an unexpected revision-history after pulling (perhaps due
6214
to a reweave) it can now be corrected by 'bzr reconcile'.
6215
(Robert Collins)
6216
6217
CHANGES:
6218
6219
* Commit is now verbose by default, and shows changed filenames and the
6220
new revision number. (Robert Collins, Martin Pool)
6221
6222
* Unify 'mv', 'move', 'rename'. (Matthew Fuller, #5379)
6223
6224
* 'bzr -h' shows help. (Martin Pool, Ian Bicking, #35940)
6225
6226
* Make 'pull' and 'push' remember location on failure using --remember.
6227
(Olaf Conradi)
6228
6229
* For compatibility, make old format for using weaves inside metadir
6230
available as 'metaweave' format. Rename format 'metadir' to 'default'.
6231
Clean up help for option --format in commands 'init', 'init-repo' and
6232
'upgrade'. (Olaf Conradi)
6233
6234
INTERNALS:
6235
6236
* The internal storage of history, and logical branch identity have now
6237
been split into Branch, and Repository. The common locking and file
6238
management routines are now in bzrlib.lockablefiles.
6239
(Aaron Bentley, Robert Collins, Martin Pool)
6240
6241
* Transports can now raise DependencyNotPresent if they need a library
6242
which is not installed, and then another implementation will be
6243
tried. (Martin Pool)
6244
6245
* Remove obsolete (and no-op) `decode` parameter to `Transport.get`.
6246
(Martin Pool)
6247
6248
* Using Tree Transform for merge, revert, tree-building
6249
6250
* WorkingTree.create, Branch.create, ``WorkingTree.create_standalone``,
6251
Branch.initialize are now deprecated. Please see ``BzrDir.create_*`` for
6252
replacement API's. (Robert Collins)
6253
6254
* New BzrDir class represents the .bzr control directory and manages
6255
formatting issues. (Robert Collins)
6256
6257
* New repository.InterRepository class encapsulates Repository to
6258
Repository actions and allows for clean selection of optimised code
6259
paths. (Robert Collins)
6260
6261
* ``bzrlib.fetch.fetch`` and ``bzrlib.fetch.greedy_fetch`` are now
6262
deprecated, please use ``branch.fetch`` or ``repository.fetch``
6263
depending on your needs. (Robert Collins)
6264
6265
* deprecated methods now have a ``is_deprecated`` flag on them that can
6266
be checked, if you need to determine whether a given callable is
6267
deprecated at runtime. (Robert Collins)
6268
6269
* Progress bars are now nested - see
6270
``bzrlib.ui.ui_factory.nested_progress_bar``.
6271
(Robert Collins, Robey Pointer)
6272
6273
* New API call ``get_format_description()`` for each type of format.
6274
(Olaf Conradi)
6275
6276
* Changed ``branch.set_parent()`` to accept None to remove parent.
6277
(Olaf Conradi)
6278
6279
* Deprecated BzrError AmbiguousBase. (Olaf Conradi)
6280
6281
* WorkingTree.branch is now a read only property. (Robert Collins)
6282
6283
* bzrlib.ui.text.TextUIFactory now accepts a ``bar_type`` parameter which
6284
can be None or a factory that will create a progress bar. This is
6285
useful for testing or for overriding the bzrlib.progress heuristic.
6286
(Robert Collins)
6287
6288
* New API method ``get_physical_lock_status()`` to query locks present on a
6289
transport. (Olaf Conradi)
6290
6291
* Repository.reconcile now takes a thorough keyword parameter to allow
6292
requesting an indepth reconciliation, rather than just a data-loss
6293
check. (Robert Collins)
6294
6295
* ``bzrlib.ui.ui_factory protocol`` now supports ``get_boolean`` to prompt
6296
the user for yes/no style input. (Robert Collins)
6297
6298
TESTING:
6299
6300
* SFTP tests now shortcut the SSH negotiation, reducing test overhead
6301
for testing SFTP protocol support. (Robey Pointer)
6302
6303
* Branch formats are now tested once per implementation (see ``bzrlib.
6304
tests.branch_implementations``. This is analagous to the transport
6305
interface tests, and has been followed up with working tree,
6306
repository and BzrDir tests. (Robert Collins)
6307
6308
* New test base class TestCaseWithTransport provides a transport aware
6309
test environment, useful for testing any transport-interface using
6310
code. The test suite option --transport controls the transport used
6311
by this class (when its not being used as part of implementation
6312
contract testing). (Robert Collins)
6313
6314
* Close logging handler on disabling the test log. This will remove the
6315
handler from the internal list inside python's logging module,
6316
preventing shutdown from closing it twice. (Olaf Conradi)
6317
6318
* Move test case for uncommit to blackbox tests. (Olaf Conradi)
6319
6320
* ``run_bzr`` and ``run_bzr_captured`` now accept a 'stdin="foo"'
6321
parameter which will provide String("foo") to the command as its stdin.
6322

bzr 0.7 2006-01-09
6324
------------------
6325
6326
CHANGES:
6327
6328
* .bzrignore is excluded from exports, on the grounds that it's a bzr
6329
internal-use file and may not be wanted. (Jamie Wilkinson)
6330
6331
* The "bzr directories" command were removed in favor of the new
6332
--kind option to the "bzr inventory" command. To list all
6333
versioned directories, now use "bzr inventory --kind directory".
6334
(Johan Rydberg)
6335
6336
* Under Windows configuration directory is now ``%APPDATA%\bazaar\2.0``
6337
by default. (John Arbash Meinel)
6338
6339
* The parent of Bzr configuration directory can be set by ``BZR_HOME``
6340
environment variable. Now the path for it is searched in ``BZR_HOME``,
6341
then in HOME. Under Windows the order is: ``BZR_HOME``, ``APPDATA``
6342
(usually points to ``C:\Documents and Settings\User Name\Application Data``),
6343
``HOME``. (John Arbash Meinel)
6344
6345
* Plugins with the same name in different directories in the bzr plugin
6346
path are no longer loaded: only the first successfully loaded one is
6347
used. (Robert Collins)
6348
6349
* Use systems' external ssh command to open connections if possible.
6350
This gives better integration with user settings such as ProxyCommand.
6351
(James Henstridge)
6352
6353
* Permissions on files underneath .bzr/ are inherited from the .bzr
6354
directory. So for a shared repository, simply doing 'chmod -R g+w .bzr/'
6355
will mean that future file will be created with group write permissions.
6356
6357
* configure.in and config.guess are no longer in the builtin default
6358
ignore list.
6359
6360
* '.sw[nop]' pattern ignored, to ignore vim swap files for nameless
6361
files. (John Arbash Meinel, Martin Pool)
6362
6363
IMPROVEMENTS:
6364
6365
* "bzr INIT dir" now initializes the specified directory, and creates
6366
it if it does not exist. (John Arbash Meinel)
6367
6368
* New remerge command (Aaron Bentley)
6369
6370
* Better zsh completion script. (Steve Borho)
6371
6372
* 'bzr diff' now returns 1 when there are changes in the working
6373
tree. (Robert Collins)
6374
6375
* 'bzr push' now exists and can push changes to a remote location.
6376
This uses the transport infrastructure, and can store the remote
6377
location in the ~/.bazaar/branches.conf configuration file.
6378
(Robert Collins)
6379
6380
* Test directories are only kept if the test fails and the user requests
6381
that they be kept.
6382
6383
* Tweaks to short log printing
6384
6385
* Added branch nicks, new nick command, printing them in log output.
6386
(Aaron Bentley)
6387
6388
* If ``$BZR_PDB`` is set, pop into the debugger when an uncaught exception
6389
occurs. (Martin Pool)
6390
6391
* Accept 'bzr resolved' (an alias for 'bzr resolve'), as this is
6392
the same as Subversion. (Martin Pool)
6393
6394
* New ftp transport support (on ftplib), for ftp:// and aftp://
6395
URLs. (Daniel Silverstone)
6396
6397
* Commit editor temporary files now start with ``bzr_log.``, to allow
6398
text editors to match the file name and set up appropriate modes or
6399
settings. (Magnus Therning)
6400
6401
* Improved performance when integrating changes from a remote weave.
6402
(Goffredo Baroncelli)
6403
6404
* Sftp will attempt to cache the connection, so it is more likely that
6405
a connection will be reused, rather than requiring multiple password
6406
requests.
6407
6408
* bzr revno now takes an optional argument indicating the branch whose
6409
revno should be printed. (Michael Ellerman)
6410
6411
* bzr cat defaults to printing the last version of the file.
6412

6414
* New global option 'bzr --lsprof COMMAND' runs bzr under the lsprof
6415
profiler. (Denys Duchier)
6416
6417
* Faster commits by reading only the headers of affected weave files.
6418
(Denys Duchier)
6419
6420
* 'bzr add' now takes a --dry-run parameter which shows you what would be
6421
added, but doesn't actually add anything. (Michael Ellerman)
6422
6423
* 'bzr add' now lists how many files were ignored per glob. add --verbose
6424
lists the specific files. (Aaron Bentley)
6425
6426
* 'bzr missing' now supports displaying changes in diverged trees and can
6427
be limited to show what either end of the comparison is missing.
6428
(Aaron Bently, with a little prompting from Daniel Silverstone)
6429
6430
BUG FIXES:
6431
6432
* SFTP can walk up to the root path without index errors. (Robert Collins)
6433
6434
* Fix bugs in running bzr with 'python -O'. (Martin Pool)
6435
6436
* Error when run with -OO
6437
6438
* Fix bug in reporting http errors that don't have an http error code.
6439
(Martin Pool)
6440
6441
* Handle more cases of pipe errors in display commands
6442
6443
* Change status to 3 for all errors
6444
6445
* Files that are added and unlinked before committing are completely
6446
ignored by diff and status
6447
6448
* Stores with some compressed texts and some uncompressed texts are now
6449
able to be used. (John A Meinel)
6450
6451
* Fix for bzr pull failing sometimes under windows
6452
6453
* Fix for sftp transport under windows when using interactive auth
6454
6455
* Show files which are both renamed and modified as such in 'bzr
6456
status' output. (Daniel Silverstone, #4503)
6457
6458
* Make annotate cope better with revisions committed without a valid
6459
email address. (Marien Zwart)
6460
6461
* Fix representation of tab characters in commit messages.
6462
(Harald Meland)
6463
6464
* List of plugin directories in ``BZR_PLUGIN_PATH`` environment variable is
6465
now parsed properly under Windows. (Alexander Belchenko)
6466
6467
* Show number of revisions pushed/pulled/merged. (Robey Pointer)
6468
6469
* Keep a cached copy of the basis inventory to speed up operations
6470
that need to refer to it. (Johan Rydberg, Martin Pool)
6471
6472
* Fix bugs in bzr status display of non-ascii characters.
6473
(Martin Pool)
6474
6475
* Remove Makefile.in from default ignore list.
6476
(Tollef Fog Heen, Martin Pool, #6413)
6477
6478
* Fix failure in 'bzr added'. (Nathan McCallum, Martin Pool)
6479
6480
TESTING:
6481
6482
* Fix selftest asking for passwords when there are no SFTP keys.
6483
(Robey Pointer, Jelmer Vernooij)
6484
6485
* Fix selftest run with 'python -O'. (Martin Pool)
6486
6487
* Fix HTTP tests under Windows. (John Arbash Meinel)
6488
6489
* Make tests work even if HOME is not set (Aaron Bentley)
6490
6491
* Updated ``build_tree`` to use fixed line-endings for tests which read
6492
the file cotents and compare. Make some tests use this to pass under
6493
Windows. (John Arbash Meinel)
6494
6495
* Skip stat and symlink tests under Windows. (Alexander Belchenko)
6496
6497
* Delay in selftest/testhashcash is now issued under win32 and Cygwin.
6498
(John Arbash Meinel)
6499
6500
* Use terminal width to align verbose test output. (Martin Pool)
6501
6502
* Blackbox tests are maintained within the bzrlib.tests.blackbox directory.
6503
If adding a new test script please add that to
6504
``bzrlib.tests.blackbox.__init__``. (Robert Collins)
6505
6506
* Much better error message if one of the test suites can't be
6507
imported. (Martin Pool)
6508
6509
* Make check now runs the test suite twice - once with the default locale,
6510
and once with all locales forced to C, to expose bugs. This is not
6511
trivially done within python, so for now its only triggered by running
6512
Make check. Integrators and packagers who wish to check for full
6513
platform support should run 'make check' to test the source.
6514
(Robert Collins)
6515
6516
* Tests can now run TestSkipped if they can't execute for any reason.
6517
(Martin Pool) (NB: TestSkipped should only be raised for correctable
6518
reasons - see the wiki spec ImprovingBzrTestSuite).
6519
6520
* Test sftp with relative, absolute-in-homedir and absolute-not-in-homedir
6521
paths for the transport tests. Introduce blackbox remote sftp tests that
6522
test the same permutations. (Robert Collins, Robey Pointer)
6523
6524
* Transport implementation tests are now independent of the local file
6525
system, which allows tests for esoteric transports, and for features
6526
not available in the local file system. They also repeat for variations
6527
on the URL scheme that can introduce issues in the transport code,
6528
see bzrlib.transport.TransportTestProviderAdapter() for this.
6529
(Robert Collins).
6530
6531
* ``TestCase.build_tree`` uses the transport interface to build trees,
6532
pass in a transport parameter to give it an existing connection.
6533
(Robert Collins).
6534
6535
INTERNALS:
6536
6537
* WorkingTree.pull has been split across Branch and WorkingTree,
6538
to allow Branch only pulls. (Robert Collins)
6539
6540
* ``commands.display_command`` now returns the result of the decorated
6541
function. (Robert Collins)
6542
6543
* LocationConfig now has a ``set_user_option(key, value)`` call to save
6544
a setting in its matching location section (a new one is created
6545
if needed). (Robert Collins)
6546
6547
* Branch has two new methods, ``get_push_location`` and
6548
``set_push_location`` to respectively, get and set the push location.
6549
(Robert Collins)
6550
6551
* ``commands.register_command`` now takes an optional flag to signal that
6552
the registrant is planning to decorate an existing command. When
6553
given multiple plugins registering a command is not an error, and
6554
the original command class (whether built in or a plugin based one) is
6555
returned to the caller. There is a new error 'MustUseDecorated' for
6556
signalling when a wrapping command should switch to the original
6557
version. (Robert Collins)
6558
6559
* Some option parsing errors will raise 'BzrOptionError', allowing
6560
granular detection for decorating commands. (Robert Collins).
6561
6562
* ``Branch.read_working_inventory`` has moved to
6563
``WorkingTree.read_working_inventory``. This necessitated changes to
6564
``Branch.get_root_id``, and a move of ``Branch.set_inventory`` to
6565
WorkingTree as well. To make it clear that a WorkingTree cannot always
6566
be obtained ``Branch.working_tree()`` will raise
6567
``errors.NoWorkingTree`` if one cannot be obtained. (Robert Collins)
6568
6569
* All pending merges operations from Branch are now on WorkingTree.
6570
(Robert Collins)
6571
6572
* The follow operations from Branch have moved to WorkingTree::
6573
6574
add()
6575
commit()
6576
move()
6577
rename_one()
6578
unknowns()
6579
6580
(Robert Collins)
6581
6582
* ``bzrlib.add.smart_add_branch`` is now ``smart_add_tree``. (Robert Collins)
6583
6584
* New "rio" serialization format, similar to rfc-822. (Martin Pool)
6585
6586
* Rename selftests to ``bzrlib.tests.test_foo``. (John A Meinel, Martin
6587
Pool)
6588
6589
* ``bzrlib.plugin.all_plugins`` has been changed from an attribute to a
6590
query method. (Robert Collins)
6591
6592
* New options to read only the table-of-contents of a weave.
6593
(Denys Duchier)
6594
6595
* Raise NoSuchFile when someone tries to add a non-existant file.
6596
(Michael Ellerman)
6597
6598
* Simplify handling of DivergedBranches in ``cmd_pull()``.
6599
(Michael Ellerman)
6600
6601
* Branch.controlfile* logic has moved to lockablefiles.LockableFiles, which
6602
is exposed as ``Branch().control_files``. Also this has been altered with the
6603
controlfile pre/suffix replaced by simple method names like 'get' and
6604
'put'. (Aaron Bentley, Robert Collins).
6605
6606
* Deprecated functions and methods can now be marked as such using the
6607
``bzrlib.symbol_versioning`` module. Marked method have their docstring
6608
updated and will issue a DeprecationWarning using the warnings module
6609
when they are used. (Robert Collins)
6610
6611
* ``bzrlib.osutils.safe_unicode`` now exists to provide parameter coercion
6612
for functions that need unicode strings. (Robert Collins)
6613
6614
bzr 0.6 2005-10-28
6615
------------------
6616
6617
IMPROVEMENTS:
6618
6619
* pull now takes --verbose to show you what revisions are added or removed
6620
(John A Meinel)
6621
6622
* merge now takes a --show-base option to include the base text in
6623
conflicts.
6624
(Aaron Bentley)
6625
6626
* The config files are now read using ConfigObj, so '=' should be used as
6627
a separator, not ':'.
6628
(Aaron Bentley)
6629
6630
* New 'bzr commit --strict' option refuses to commit if there are
6631
any unknown files in the tree. To commit, make sure all files are
6632
either ignored, added, or deleted. (Michael Ellerman)
6633
6634
* The config directory is now ~/.bazaar, and there is a single file
6635
~/.bazaar/bazaar.conf storing email, editor and other preferences.
6636
(Robert Collins)
6637
6638
* 'bzr add' no longer takes a --verbose option, and a --quiet option
6639
has been added that suppresses all output.
6640
6641
* Improved zsh completion support in contrib/zsh, from Clint
6642
Adams.
6643
6644
* Builtin 'bzr annotate' command, by Martin Pool with improvements from
6645
Goffredo Baroncelli.
6646
6647
* 'bzr check' now accepts -v for verbose reporting, and checks for
6648
ghosts in the branch. (Robert Collins)
6649
6650
* New command 're-sign' which will regenerate the gpg signature for
6651
a revision. (Robert Collins)
6652
6653
* If you set ``check_signatures=require`` for a path in
6654
``~/.bazaar/branches.conf`` then bzr will invoke your
6655
``gpg_signing_command`` (defaults to gpg) and record a digital signature
6656
of your commit. (Robert Collins)
6657
6658
* New sftp transport, based on Paramiko. (Robey Pointer)
6659
6660
* 'bzr pull' now accepts '--clobber' which will discard local changes
6661
and make this branch identical to the source branch. (Robert Collins)
6662
6663
* Just give a quieter warning if a plugin can't be loaded, and
6664
put the details in .bzr.log. (Martin Pool)
6665
6666
* 'bzr branch' will now set the branch-name to the last component of the
6667
output directory, if one was supplied.
6668
6669
* If the option ``post_commit`` is set to one (or more) python function
6670
names (must be in the bzrlib namespace), then they will be invoked
6671
after the commit has completed, with the branch and ``revision_id`` as
6672
parameters. (Robert Collins)
6673
6674
* Merge now has a retcode of 1 when conflicts occur. (Robert Collins)
6675
6676
* --merge-type weave is now supported for file contents. Tree-shape
6677
changes are still three-way based. (Martin Pool, Aaron Bentley)
6678
6679
* 'bzr check' allows the first revision on revision-history to have
6680
parents - something that is expected for cheap checkouts, and occurs
6681
when conversions from baz do not have all history. (Robert Collins).
6682
6683
* 'bzr merge' can now graft unrelated trees together, if your specify
6684
0 as a base. (Aaron Bentley)
6685
6686
* 'bzr commit branch' and 'bzr commit branch/file1 branch/file2' now work
6687
(Aaron Bentley)
6688
6689
* Add '.sconsign*' to default ignore list. (Alexander Belchenko)
6690
6691
* 'bzr merge --reprocess' minimizes conflicts
6692
6693
TESTING:
6694
6695
* The 'bzr selftest --pattern' option for has been removed, now
6696
test specifiers on the command line can be simple strings, or
6697
regexps, or both. (Robert Collins)
6698
6699
* Passing -v to selftest will now show the time each test took to
6700
complete, which will aid in analysing performance regressions and
6701
related questions. (Robert Collins)
6702
6703
* 'bzr selftest' runs all tests, even if one fails, unless '--one'
6704
is given. (Martin Pool)
6705
6706
* There is a new method for TestCaseInTempDir, assertFileEqual, which
6707
will check that a given content is equal to the content of the named
6708
file. (Robert Collins)
6709
6710
* Fix test suite's habit of leaving many temporary log files in $TMPDIR.
6711
(Martin Pool)
6712
6713
INTERNALS:
6714
6715
* New 'testament' command and concept for making gpg-signatures
6716
of revisions that are not tied to a particular internal
6717
representation. (Martin Pool).
6718
6719
* Per-revision properties ('revprops') as key-value associated
6720
strings on each revision created when the revision is committed.
6721
Intended mainly for the use of external tools. (Martin Pool).
6722
6723
* Config options have moved from bzrlib.osutils to bzrlib.config.
6724
(Robert Collins)
6725
6726
* Improved command line option definitions allowing explanations
6727
for individual options, among other things. Contributed by
6728
Magnus Therning.
6729
6730
* Config options have moved from bzrlib.osutils to bzrlib.config.
6731
Configuration is now done via the config.Config interface:
6732
Depending on whether you have a Branch, a Location or no information
6733
available, construct a ``*Config``, and use its ``signature_checking``,
6734
``username`` and ``user_email`` methods. (Robert Collins)
6735
6736
* Plugins are now loaded under bzrlib.plugins, not bzrlib.plugin, and
6737
they are made available for other plugins to use. You should not
6738
import other plugins during the ``__init__`` of your plugin though, as
6739
no ordering is guaranteed, and the plugins directory is not on the
6740
python path. (Robert Collins)
6741
6742
* Branch.relpath has been moved to WorkingTree.relpath. WorkingTree no
6743
no longer takes an inventory, rather it takes an option branch
6744
parameter, and if None is given will open the branch at basedir
6745
implicitly. (Robert Collins)
6746
6747
* Cleaner exception structure and error reporting. Suggested by
6748
Scott James Remnant. (Martin Pool)
6749
6750
* Branch.remove has been moved to WorkingTree, which has also gained
6751
``lock_read``, ``lock_write`` and ``unlock`` methods for convenience.
6752
(Robert Collins)
6753
6754
* Two decorators, ``needs_read_lock`` and ``needs_write_lock`` have been
6755
added to the branch module. Use these to cause a function to run in a
6756
read or write lock respectively. (Robert Collins)
6757
6758
* ``Branch.open_containing`` now returns a tuple (Branch, relative-path),
6759
which allows direct access to the common case of 'get me this file
6760
from its branch'. (Robert Collins)
6761
6762
* Transports can register using ``register_lazy_transport``, and they
6763
will be loaded when first used. (Martin Pool)
6764
6765
* 'pull' has been factored out of the command as ``WorkingTree.pull()``.
6766
A new option to WorkingTree.pull has been added, clobber, which will
6767
ignore diverged history and pull anyway.
6768
(Robert Collins)
6769
6770
* config.Config has a ``get_user_option`` call that accepts an option name.
6771
This will be looked up in branches.conf and bazaar.conf as normal.
6772
It is intended that this be used by plugins to support options -
6773
options of built in programs should have specific methods on the config.
6774
(Robert Collins)
6775
6776
* ``merge.merge_inner`` now has tempdir as an optional parameter.
6777
(Robert Collins)
6778
6779
* Tree.kind is not recorded at the top level of the hierarchy, as it was
6780
missing on EmptyTree, leading to a bug with merge on EmptyTrees.
6781
(Robert Collins)
6782
6783
* ``WorkingTree.__del__`` has been removed, it was non deterministic and not
6784
doing what it was intended to. See ``WorkingTree.__init__`` for a comment
6785
about future directions. (Robert Collins/Martin Pool)
6786
6787
* bzrlib.transport.http has been modified so that only 404 urllib errors
6788
are returned as NoSuchFile. Other exceptions will propogate as normal.
6789
This allows debuging of actual errors. (Robert Collins)
6790
6791
* bzrlib.transport.Transport now accepts *ONLY* url escaped relative paths
6792
to apis like 'put', 'get' and 'has'. This is to provide consistent
6793
behaviour - it operates on url's only. (Robert Collins)
6794
6795
* Transports can register using ``register_lazy_transport``, and they
6796
will be loaded when first used. (Martin Pool)
6797
6798
* ``merge_flex`` no longer calls ``conflict_handler.finalize()``, instead that
6799
is called by ``merge_inner``. This is so that the conflict count can be
6800
retrieved (and potentially manipulated) before returning to the caller
6801
of ``merge_inner``. Likewise 'merge' now returns the conflict count to the
6802
caller. (Robert Collins)
6803
6804
* ``revision.revision_graph`` can handle having only partial history for
6805
a revision - that is no revisions in the graph with no parents.
6806
(Robert Collins).
6807
6808
* New ``builtins.branch_files`` uses the standard ``file_list`` rules to
6809
produce a branch and a list of paths, relative to that branch
6810
(Aaron Bentley)
6811
6812
* New TestCase.addCleanup facility.
6813
6814
* New ``bzrlib.version_info`` tuple (similar to ``sys.version_info``),
6815
which can be used by programs importing bzrlib.
6816
6817
BUG FIXES:
6818
6819
* Better handling of branches in directories with non-ascii names.
6820
(Joel Rosdahl, Panagiotis Papadakos)
6821
6822
* Upgrades of trees with no commits will not fail due to accessing
6823
[-1] in the revision-history. (Andres Salomon)
6824
6825
6826
bzr 0.1.1 2005-10-12
6827
--------------------
6828
6829
BUG FIXES:
6830
6831
* Fix problem in pulling over http from machines that do not
6832
allow directories to be listed.
6833
6834
* Avoid harmless warning about invalid hash cache after
6835
upgrading branch format.
6836
6837
PERFORMANCE:
6838
6839
* Avoid some unnecessary http operations in branch and pull.

6841
6842
bzr 0.1 2005-10-11
6843
------------------
6844
6845
NOTES:
6846
6847
* 'bzr branch' over http initially gives a very high estimate
6848
of completion time but it should fall as the first few
6849
revisions are pulled in. branch is still slow on
6850
high-latency connections.
6851
6852
BUG FIXES:
6853
6854
* bzr-man.py has been updated to work again. Contributed by
6855
Rob Weir.
6856
6857
* Locking is now done with fcntl.lockf which works with NFS
6858
file systems. Contributed by Harald Meland.
6859
6860
* When a merge encounters a file that has been deleted on
6861
one side and modified on the other, the old contents are
6862
written out to foo.BASE and foo.SIDE, where SIDE is this
6863
or OTHER. Contributed by Aaron Bentley.
6864
6865
* Export was choosing incorrect file paths for the content of
6866
the tarball, this has been fixed by Aaron Bentley.
6867
6868
* Commit will no longer commit without a log message, an
6869
error is returned instead. Contributed by Jelmer Vernooij.
6870
6871
* If you commit a specific file in a sub directory, any of its
6872
parent directories that are added but not listed will be
6873
automatically included. Suggested by Michael Ellerman.
6874
6875
* bzr commit and upgrade did not correctly record new revisions
6876
for files with only a change to their executable status.
6877
bzr will correct this when it encounters it. Fixed by
6878
Robert Collins
6879
6880
* HTTP tests now force off the use of ``http_proxy`` for the duration.
6881
Contributed by Gustavo Niemeyer.
6882
6883
* Fix problems in merging weave-based branches that have
6884
different partial views of history.
6885
6886
* Symlink support: working with symlinks when not in the root of a
6887
bzr tree was broken, patch from Scott James Remnant.
6888
6889
IMPROVEMENTS:
6890
6891
* 'branch' now accepts a --basis parameter which will take advantage
6892
of local history when making a new branch. This allows faster
6893
branching of remote branches. Contributed by Aaron Bentley.
6894
6895
* New tree format based on weave files, called version 5.
6896
Existing branches can be upgraded to this format using
6897
'bzr upgrade'.
6898
6899
* Symlinks are now versionable. Initial patch by
6900
Erik Toubro Nielsen, updated to head by Robert Collins.
6901
6902
* Executable bits are tracked on files. Patch from Gustavo
6903
Niemeyer.
6904
6905
* 'bzr status' now shows unknown files inside a selected directory.
6906
Patch from Heikki Paajanen.
6907
6908
* Merge conflicts are recorded in .bzr. Two new commands 'conflicts'
6909
and 'resolve' have needed added, which list and remove those
6910
merge conflicts respectively. A conflicted tree cannot be committed
6911
in. Contributed by Aaron Bentley.
6912
6913
* 'rm' is now an alias for 'remove'.
6914
6915
* Stores now split out their content in a single byte prefixed hash,
6916
dropping the density of files per directory by 256. Contributed by
6917
Gustavo Niemeyer.
6918
6919
* 'bzr diff -r branch:URL' will now perform a diff between two branches.
6920
Contributed by Robert Collins.
6921
6922
* 'bzr log' with the default formatter will show merged revisions,
6923
indented to the right. Initial implementation contributed by Gustavo
6924
Niemeyer, made incremental by Robert Collins.
6925
6926
6927
INTERNALS:
6928
6929
* Test case failures have the exception printed after the log
6930
for your viewing pleasure.
6931
6932
* InventoryEntry is now an abstract base class, use one of the
6933
concrete InventoryDirectory etc classes instead.
6934
6935
* Branch raises an UnsupportedFormatError when it detects a
6936
bzr branch it cannot understand. This allows for precise
6937
handling of such circumstances.
6938
6939
* Remove RevisionReference class; ``Revision.parent_ids`` is now simply a
6940
list of their ids and ``parent_sha1s`` is a list of their corresponding
6941
sha1s (for old branches only at the moment.)
6942
6943
* New method-object style interface for Commit() and Fetch().
6944
6945
* Renamed ``Branch.last_patch()`` to ``Branch.last_revision()``, since
6946
we call them revisions not patches.
6947
6948
* Move ``copy_branch`` to ``bzrlib.clone.copy_branch``. The destination
6949
directory is created if it doesn't exist.
6950
6951
* Inventories now identify the files which were present by
6952
giving the revision *of that file*.
6953
6954
* Inventory and Revision XML contains a version identifier.
6955
This must be consistent with the overall branch version
6956
but allows for more flexibility in future upgrades.
6957
6958
TESTING:
6959
6960
* Removed testsweet module so that tests can be run after
6961
bzr installed by 'bzr selftest'.
6962
6963
* 'bzr selftest' command-line arguments can now be partial ids
6964
of tests to run, e.g. ``bzr selftest test_weave``
6965
6966
6967
bzr 0.0.9 2005-09-23
6968
--------------------
6969
6970
BUG FIXES:
6971
6972
* Fixed "branch -r" option.
6973
6974
* Fix remote access to branches containing non-compressed history.
6975
(Robert Collins).
6976
6977
* Better reliability of http server tests. (John Arbash-Meinel)
6978
6979
* Merge graph maximum distance calculation fix. (Aaron Bentley)
6980
6981
* Various minor bug in windows support have been fixed, largely in the
6982
test suite. Contributed by Alexander Belchenko.
6983
6984
IMPROVEMENTS:
6985
6986
* Status now accepts a -r argument to give status between chosen
6987
revisions. Contributed by Heikki Paajanen.
6988
6989
* Revision arguments no longer use +/-/= to control ranges, instead
6990
there is a 'before' namespace, which limits the successive namespace.
6991
For example '$ bzr log -r date:yesterday..before:date:today' will
6992
select everything from yesterday and before today. Contributed by
6993
Robey Pointer
6994
6995
* There is now a bzr.bat file created by distutils when building on
6996
Windows. Contributed by Alexander Belchenko.
6997
6998
INTERNALS:
6999
7000
* Removed uuid() as it was unused.
7001
7002
* Improved 'fetch' code for pulling revisions from one branch into
7003
another (used by pull, merged, etc.)
7004
7005
7006
bzr 0.0.8 2005-09-20
7007
--------------------
7008
7009
IMPROVEMENTS:
7010
7011
* Adding a file whose parent directory is not versioned will
7012
implicitly add the parent, and so on up to the root. This means
7013
you should never need to explictly add a directory, they'll just
7014
get added when you add a file in the directory. Contributed by
7015
Michael Ellerman.
7016
7017
* Ignore ``.DS_Store`` (contains Mac metadata) by default.
7018
(Nir Soffer)
7019
7020
* If you set ``BZR_EDITOR`` in the environment, it is checked in
7021
preference to EDITOR and the config file for the interactive commit
7022
editing program. Related to this is a bugfix where a missing program
7023
set in EDITOR would cause editing to fail, now the fallback program
7024
for the operating system is still tried.
7025
7026
* Files that are not directories/symlinks/regular files will no longer
7027
cause bzr to fail, it will just ignore them by default. You cannot add
7028
them to the tree though - they are not versionable.
7029
7030
7031
INTERNALS:
7032
7033
* Refactor xml packing/unpacking.
7034
7035
BUG FIXES:
7036
7037
* Fixed 'bzr mv' by Ollie Rutherfurd.
7038
7039
* Fixed strange error when trying to access a nonexistent http
7040
branch.
7041
7042
* Make sure that the hashcache gets written out if it can't be
7043
read.
7044
7045
7046
PORTABILITY:
7047
7048
* Various Windows fixes from Ollie Rutherfurd.
7049
7050
* Quieten warnings about locking; patch from Matt Lavin.
7051
7052
7053
bzr-0.0.7 2005-09-02
7054
--------------------
7055
7056
NEW FEATURES:
7057
7058
* ``bzr shell-complete`` command contributed by Clint Adams to
7059
help with intelligent shell completion.
7060
7061
* New expert command ``bzr find-merge-base`` for debugging merges.
7062
7063
7064
ENHANCEMENTS:
7065
7066
* Much better merge support.
7067
7068
* merge3 conflicts are now reported with markers like '<<<<<<<'
7069
(seven characters) which is the same as CVS and pleases things
7070
like emacs smerge.
7071
7072
7073
BUG FIXES:
7074
7075
* ``bzr upgrade`` no longer fails when trying to fix trees that
7076
mention revisions that are not present.
7077
7078
* Fixed bugs in listing plugins from ``bzr plugins``.
7079
7080
* Fix case of $EDITOR containing options for the editor.
7081
7082
* Fix log -r refusing to show the last revision.
7083
(Patch from Goffredo Baroncelli.)
7084
7085
7086
CHANGES:
7087
7088
* ``bzr log --show-ids`` shows the revision ids of all parents.
7089
7090
* Externally provided commands on your $BZRPATH no longer need
7091
to recognize --bzr-usage to work properly, and can just handle
7092
--help themselves.
7093
7094
7095
LIBRARY:
7096
7097
* Changed trace messages to go through the standard logging
7098
framework, so that they can more easily be redirected by
7099
libraries.
7100
7101
7102
7103
bzr-0.0.6 2005-08-18
7104
--------------------
7105
7106
NEW FEATURES:
7107
7108
* Python plugins, automatically loaded from the directories on
7109
``BZR_PLUGIN_PATH`` or ``~/.bzr.conf/plugins`` by default.
7110
7111
* New 'bzr mkdir' command.
7112
7113
* Commit mesage is fetched from an editor if not given on the
7114
command line; patch from Torsten Marek.
7115
7116
* ``bzr log -m FOO`` displays commits whose message matches regexp
7117
FOO.
7118
7119
* ``bzr add`` with no arguments adds everything under the current directory.
7120
7121
* ``bzr mv`` does move or rename depending on its arguments, like
7122
the Unix command.
7123
7124
* ``bzr missing`` command shows a summary of the differences
7125
between two trees. (Merged from John Arbash-Meinel.)
7126
7127
* An email address for commits to a particular tree can be
7128
specified by putting it into .bzr/email within a branch. (Based
7129
on a patch from Heikki Paajanen.)
7130
7131
7132
ENHANCEMENTS:
7133
7134
* Faster working tree operations.
7135
7136
7137
CHANGES:
7138
7139
* 3rd-party modules shipped with bzr are copied within the bzrlib
7140
python package, so that they can be installed by the setup
7141
script without clashing with anything already existing on the
7142
system. (Contributed by Gustavo Niemeyer.)
7143
7144
* Moved plugins directory to bzrlib/, so that there's a standard
7145
plugin directory which is not only installed with bzr itself but
7146
is also available when using bzr from the development tree.
7147
``BZR_PLUGIN_PATH`` and ``DEFAULT_PLUGIN_PATH`` are then added to the
7148
standard plugins directory.
7149
7150
* When exporting to a tarball with ``bzr export --format tgz``, put
7151
everything under a top directory rather than dumping it into the
7152
current directory. This can be overridden with the ``--root``
7153
option. Patch from William Dodé and John Meinel.
7154
7155
* New ``bzr upgrade`` command to upgrade the format of a branch,
7156
replacing ``bzr check --update``.
7157
7158
* Files within store directories are no longer marked readonly on
7159
disk.
7160
7161
* Changed ``bzr log`` output to a more compact form suggested by
7162
John A Meinel. Old format is available with the ``--long`` or
7163
``-l`` option, patched by William Dodé.
7164
7165
* By default the commit command refuses to record a revision with
7166
no changes unless the ``--unchanged`` option is given.
7167
7168
* The ``--no-plugins``, ``--profile`` and ``--builtin`` command
7169
line options must come before the command name because they
7170
affect what commands are available; all other options must come
7171
after the command name because their interpretation depends on
7172
it.
7173
7174
* ``branch`` and ``clone`` added as aliases for ``branch``.
7175
7176
* Default log format is back to the long format; the compact one
7177
is available with ``--short``.
7178
7179
7180
BUG FIXES:
7181
7182
* Fix bugs in committing only selected files or within a subdirectory.
7183
7184
7185
bzr-0.0.5 2005-06-15
7186
---------------------
7187
7188
CHANGES:
7189
7190
* ``bzr`` with no command now shows help rather than giving an
7191
error. Suggested by Michael Ellerman.
7192
7193
* ``bzr status`` output format changed, because svn-style output
7194
doesn't really match the model of bzr. Now files are grouped by
7195
status and can be shown with their IDs. ``bzr status --all``
7196
shows all versioned files and unknown files but not ignored files.
7197
7198
* ``bzr log`` runs from most-recent to least-recent, the reverse
7199
of the previous order. The previous behaviour can be obtained
7200
with the ``--forward`` option.
7201
7202
* ``bzr inventory`` by default shows only filenames, and also ids
7203
if ``--show-ids`` is given, in which case the id is the second
7204
field.
7205
7206
7207
ENHANCEMENTS:
7208
7209
* New 'bzr whoami --email' option shows only the email component
7210
of the user identification, from Jo Vermeulen.
7211
7212
* New ``bzr ignore PATTERN`` command.
7213
7214
* Nicer error message for broken pipe, interrupt and similar
7215
conditions that don't indicate an internal error.
7216
7217
* Add ``.*.sw[nop] .git .*.tmp *,v`` to default ignore patterns.
7218
7219
* Per-branch locks keyed on ``.bzr/branch-lock``, available in
7220
either read or write mode.
7221
7222
* New option ``bzr log --show-ids`` shows revision and file ids.
7223
7224
* New usage ``bzr log FILENAME`` shows only revisions that
7225
affected that file.
7226
7227
* Changed format for describing changes in ``bzr log -v``.
7228
7229
* New option ``bzr commit --file`` to take a message from a file,
7230
suggested by LarstiQ.
7231
7232
* New syntax ``bzr status [FILE...]`` contributed by Bartosz
7233
Oler. File may be in a branch other than the working directory.
7234
7235
* ``bzr log`` and ``bzr root`` can be given an http URL instead of
7236
a filename.
7237
7238
* Commands can now be defined by external programs or scripts
7239
in a directory on $BZRPATH.
7240
7241
* New "stat cache" avoids reading the contents of files if they
7242
haven't changed since the previous time.
7243
7244
* If the Python interpreter is too old, try to find a better one
7245
or give an error. Based on a patch from Fredrik Lundh.
7246
7247
* New optional parameter ``bzr info [BRANCH]``.
7248
7249
* New form ``bzr commit SELECTED`` to commit only selected files.
7250
7251
* New form ``bzr log -r FROM:TO`` shows changes in selected
7252
range; contributed by John A Meinel.
7253
7254
* New option ``bzr diff --diff-options 'OPTS'`` allows passing
7255
options through to an external GNU diff.
7256
7257
* New option ``bzr add --no-recurse`` to add a directory but not
7258
their contents.
7259
7260
* ``bzr --version`` now shows more information if bzr is being run
7261
from a branch.
7262
7263
7264
BUG FIXES:
7265
7266
* Fixed diff format so that added and removed files will be
7267
handled properly by patch. Fix from Lalo Martins.
7268
7269
* Various fixes for files whose names contain spaces or other
7270
metacharacters.
7271
7272
7273
TESTING:
7274
7275
* Converted black-box test suites from Bourne shell into Python;
7276
now run using ``./testbzr``. Various structural improvements to
7277
the tests.
7278
7279
* testbzr by default runs the version of bzr found in the same
7280
directory as the tests, or the one given as the first parameter.
7281
7282
* testbzr also runs the internal tests, so the only command
7283
required to check is just ``./testbzr``.
7284
7285
* testbzr requires python2.4, but can be used to test bzr running
7286
under a different version.
7287
7288
* Tests added for many other changes in this release.
7289
7290
7291
INTERNAL:
7292
7293
* Included ElementTree library upgraded to 1.2.6 by Fredrik Lundh.
7294
7295
* Refactor command functions into Command objects based on HCT by
7296
Scott James Remnant.
7297
7298
* Better help messages for many commands.
7299
7300
* Expose ``bzrlib.open_tracefile()`` to start the tracefile; until
7301
this is called trace messages are just discarded.
7302
7303
* New internal function ``find_touching_revisions()`` and hidden
7304
command touching-revisions trace the changes to a given file.
7305
7306
* Simpler and faster ``compare_inventories()`` function.
7307
7308
* ``bzrlib.open_tracefile()`` takes a tracefilename parameter.
7309
7310
* New AtomicFile class.
7311
7312
* New developer commands ``added``, ``modified``.
7313
7314
7315
PORTABILITY:
7316
7317
* Cope on Windows on python2.3 by using the weaker random seed.
7318
2.4 is now only recommended.
7319
7320
7321
bzr-0.0.4 2005-04-22
7322
---------------------
7323
7324
ENHANCEMENTS:
7325
7326
* 'bzr diff' optionally takes a list of files to diff. Still a bit
7327
basic. Patch from QuantumG.
7328
7329
* More default ignore patterns.
7330
7331
* New 'bzr log --verbose' shows a list of files changed in the
7332
changeset. Patch from Sebastian Cote.
7333
7334
* Roll over ~/.bzr.log if it gets too large.
7335
7336
* Command abbreviations 'ci', 'st', 'stat', '?' based on a patch
7337
by Jason Diamon.
7338
7339
* New 'bzr help commands' based on a patch from Denys Duchier.
7340
7341
7342
CHANGES:
7343
7344
* User email is determined by looking at $BZREMAIL or ~/.bzr.email
7345
or $EMAIL. All are decoded by the locale preferred encoding.
7346
If none of these are present user@hostname is used. The host's
7347
fully-qualified name is not used because that tends to fail when
7348
there are DNS problems.
7349
7350
* New 'bzr whoami' command instead of username user-email.
7351
7352
7353
BUG FIXES:
7354
7355
* Make commit safe for hardlinked bzr trees.
7356
7357
* Some Unicode/locale fixes.
7358
7359
* Partial workaround for ``difflib.unified_diff`` not handling
7360
trailing newlines properly.
7361
7362
7363
INTERNAL:
7364
7365
* Allow docstrings for help to be in PEP0257 format. Patch from
7366
Matt Brubeck.
7367
7368
* More tests in test.sh.
7369
7370
* Write profile data to a temporary file not into working
7371
directory and delete it when done.
7372
7373
* Smaller .bzr.log with process ids.
7374
7375
7376
PORTABILITY:
7377
7378
* Fix opening of ~/.bzr.log on Windows. Patch from Andrew
7379
Bennetts.
7380
7381
* Some improvements in handling paths on Windows, based on a patch
7382
from QuantumG.

7384
7385
bzr-0.0.3 2005-04-06
7386
---------------------
7387
7388
ENHANCEMENTS:
7389
7390
* New "directories" internal command lists versioned directories
7391
in the tree.
7392
7393
* Can now say "bzr commit --help".
7394
7395
* New "rename" command to rename one file to a different name
7396
and/or directory.
7397
7398
* New "move" command to move one or more files into a different
7399
directory.
7400
7401
* New "renames" command lists files renamed since base revision.
7402
7403
* New cat command contributed by janmar.
7404
7405
CHANGES:
7406
7407
* .bzr.log is placed in $HOME (not pwd) and is always written in
7408
UTF-8. (Probably not a completely good long-term solution, but
7409
will do for now.)
7410
7411
PORTABILITY:
7412
7413
* Workaround for difflib bug in Python 2.3 that causes an
7414
exception when comparing empty files. Reported by Erik Toubro
7415
Nielsen.
7416
7417
INTERNAL:
7418
7419
* Refactored inventory storage to insert a root entry at the top.
7420
7421
TESTING:
7422
7423
* Start of shell-based black-box testing in test.sh.
7424

7426
bzr-0.0.2.1
7427
-----------
7428
7429
PORTABILITY:

7434
bzr-0.0.2 "black cube" 2005-03-31
7435
-----------------------------------
7436
7437
ENHANCEMENTS:
7438
7439
* Default ignore list extended (see bzrlib/__init__.py).
7440
7441
* Patterns in .bzrignore are now added to the default ignore list,
7442
rather than replacing it.
7443
7444
* Ignore list isn't reread for every file.
7445
7446
* More help topics.
7447
7448
* Reinstate the 'bzr check' command to check invariants of the
7449
branch.
7450
7451
* New 'ignored' command lists which files are ignored and why;
7452
'deleted' lists files deleted in the current working tree.
7453
7454
* Performance improvements.
7455
