19
* Allow BzrDir implementation to implement backing up of
20
control directory. (#139691)
21
22
* Fix SystemError in ``_patiencediff_c`` module by calling
23
PyErr_NoMemory() before returning NULL in PatienceSequenceMatcher_new.
24
(Andrew Bennetts, #303206)
25
26
* Give proper error message for diff with non-existent dotted revno.
27
(Marius Kruger, #301969)
28
29
* ``Transport.readv()`` defaults to not reading more than 100MB in a
30
single array. Further ``RemoteTransport.readv`` sets this to 5MB to
31
work better with how it splits its requests.

INTERNALS:

42
* ``KnitVersionedFiles.get_record_stream()`` will now chose a
43
more optimal ordering when the keys are requested 'unordered'.
44
Previously the order was fully random, now the records should be
45
returned from each pack in turn, in forward I/O order.
46
(John Arbash Meinel)

bzr 1.10 2008-12-05
50
-------------------
51
52
Bazaar 1.10 has several performance improvements for copying revisions
53
(especially for small updates to large projects). There has also been a
54
significant amount of effort in polishing stacked branches. The commands
55
``shelve`` and ``unshelve`` have become core commands, with an improved
56
implementation.
57
58
The only changes versus bzr-1.10rc1 are bugfixes for stacked branches.
59
60
BUG FIXES:
61
62
* Don't set a pack write cache size from RepoFetcher, because the
63
cache is not coherent with reads and causes ShortReadvErrors.
64
This reverses the change that fixed #294479.
65
(Martin Pool, #303856)
66
67
* Properly handle when a revision can be inserted as a delta versus
68
when it needs to be expanded to a fulltext for stacked branches.
69
There was a bug involving merge revisions. As a method to help
70
prevent future difficulties, also make stacked fetches sort
71
topologically. (John Arbash Meinel, #304841)
72
73
74
bzr 1.10rc1 2008-11-28
75
----------------------
76
77
This release of Bazaar focuses on performance improvements when pushing
78
and pulling revisions, both locally and to remote networks. The popular
79
``shelve`` and ``unshelve`` commands, used to interactively revert and
80
restore work in progress, have been merged from bzrtools into the bzr
81
core. There are also bug fixes for portability, and for stacked branches.
82
83
NEW FEATURES:
84
85
* New ``commit_message_template`` hook that is called by the commit
86
code to generate a template commit message. (Jelmer Vernooij)
87
88
* New `shelve` and `unshelve` commands allow undoing and redoing changes.
89
(Aaron Bentley)
90
91
IMPROVEMENTS:
92
93
* ``(Remote)Branch.copy_content_into`` no longer generates the full revision
94
history just to set the last revision info.
95
(Andrew Bennetts, John Arbash Meinel)
96
97
* Fetches between formats with different serializers (such as
98
pack-0.92-subtree and 1.9-rich-root) are faster now. This is due to
99
operating on batches of 100 revisions at time rather than
100
one-by-one. (Andrew Bennetts, John Arbash Meinel)
101
102
* Search index files corresponding to pack files we've already used
103
before searching others, because they are more likely to have the
104
keys we're looking for. This reduces the number of iix and tix
105
files accessed when pushing 1 new revision, for instance.
106
(John Arbash Meinel)
107
108
* Signatures to transfer are calculated more efficiently in
109
``item_keys_introduced_by``. (Andrew Bennetts, John Arbash Meinel)
110
111
* The generic fetch code can once again copy revisions and signatures
112
without extracting them completely to fulltexts and then serializing
113
them back down into byte strings. This is a significant performance
114
improvement when fetching from a stacked branch.
115
(John Arbash Meinel, #300289)
116
117
* When making a large readv() request over ``bzr+ssh``, break up the
118
request into more manageable chunks. Because the RPC is not yet able
119
to stream, this helps keep us from buffering too much information at
120
once. (John Arbash Meinel)
121
122
BUG FIXES:
123
124
* Better message when the user needs to set their Launchpad ID.
125
(Martin Pool, #289148)
126
127
* ``bzr commit --local`` doesn't access the master branch anymore.
128
This fixes a regression introduced in 1.9. (Marius Kruger, #299313)
129
130
* Don't call the system ``chdir()`` with an empty path. Sun OS seems
131
to give an error in that case. Also, don't count on ``getcwd()``
132
being able to allocate a new buffer, which is a gnu extension.
133
(John Arbash Meinel, Martin Pool, Harry Hirsch, #297831)
134
135
* Don't crash when requesting log --forward <file> for a revision range
136
starting with a dotted revno.
137
(Vincent Ladeuil, #300055)
138
139
* Don't create text deltas spanning stacked repositories; this could
140
cause "Revision X not present in Y" when later accessing them.
141
(Martin Pool, #288751)
142
143
* Pack repositories are now able to reload the pack listing and retry
144
the current operation if another action causes the data to be
145
repacked. (John Arbash Meinel, #153786)
146
147
* PermissionDenied errors from smart servers no longer cause
148
"PermissionDenied: "None"" on the client.
149
(Andrew Bennetts, #299254)
150
151
* Pushing to a stacked pack repository now batches writes, the same
152
way writes are batched to ordinary pack repository. This makes
153
pushing to a stacked branch over the network much faster.
154
(Andrew Bennetts, #294479)
155
156
* TooManyConcurrentRequests no longer occur when a fetch fails and
157
tries to abort a write group. This allows the root cause (e.g. a
158
network interruption) to be reported. (Andrew Bennetts, #297014)
159
160
* RemoteRepository.get_parent_map now uses fallback repositories.
161
(Aaron Bentley, #297991?, #293679?)
162
163
API CHANGES:
164
165
* ``CommitBuilder`` now validates the strings it will be committing,
166
to ensure that they do not have characters that will not be properly
167
round-tripped. For now, it just checks for characters that are
168
invalid in the XML form. (John Arbash Meinel, #295161)
169
170
* Constructor parameters for NewPack (internal to pack repositories)
171
have changed incompatibly.
172
173
* ``Repository.abort_write_group`` now accepts an optional
174
``suppress_errors`` flag. Repository implementations that override
175
``abort_write_group`` will need to be updated to accept the new
176
argument. Subclasses that only override ``_abort_write_group``
177
don't need to change.
178
179
* Transport implementations must provide copy_tree_to_transport. A default
180
implementation is provided for Transport subclasses.
181
182
TESTING:
183
184
* ``bzr selftest`` now fails if no doctests are found in a module
185
that's expected to have them. (Martin Pool)
186
187
* Doctests now only report the first failure. (Martin Pool)
188
189
190
bzr 1.9 2008-11-07
191
------------------
192
193
This release of Bazaar adds a new repository format, ``1.9``, with smaller
194
and more efficient index files. This format can be specified when
195
creating a new repository, or used to losslessly upgrade an existing
196
repository. bzr 1.9 also speeds most operations over the smart server
197
protocol, makes annotate faster, and uses less memory when making
198
checkouts or pulling large amounts of data.
199
200
BUG FIXES:
201
202
* Fix "invalid property value 'branch-nick' for None" regression with
203
branches bound to svn branches. (Martin Pool, #293440)
204
205
* Fix SSL/https on Python2.6. (Vincent Ladeuil, #293054)
206
207
* ``SFTPTransport.readv()`` had a bug when requests were out-of-order.
208
This only triggers some-of-the-time on Knit format repositories.
209
(John Arbash Meinel, #293746)
210
211
212
bzr 1.9rc1 2008-10-31
213
---------------------
214
215
NEW FEATURES:
216
217
* New Branch hook ``transform_fallback_location`` allows a function to
218
be called when looking up the stacked source. (Michael Hudson)
219
220
* New repository formats ``1.9`` and ``1.9-rich-root``. These have all
221
the functionality of ``1.6``, but use the new btree indexes.
222
These indexes are both smaller and faster for access to historical
223
information. (John Arbash Meinel)
224
225
IMPROVEMENTS:
226
227
* ``BTreeIndex`` code now is able to prefetch extra pages to help tune
228
the tradeoff between bandwidth and latency. Should be tuned
229
appropriately to not impact commands which need minimal information,
230
but provide a significant boost to ones that need more context. Only
231
has a direct impact on the ``--development2`` format which uses
232
btree's for the indexes. (John Arbash Meinel)
233
234
* ``bzr dump-btree`` is a hidden command introduced to allow dumping
235
the contents of a compressed btree file. (John Arbash Meinel)
236
237
* ``bzr pack`` now tells the index builders to optimize for size. For
238
btree index repositories, this can save 25% of the index size
239
(mostly in the text indexes). (John Arbash Meinel)
240
241
* ``bzr push`` to an existing branch or repository on a smart server
242
is faster, due to Bazaar making more use of the ``get_parent_map``
243
RPC when querying the remote branch's revision graph.
244
(Andrew Bennetts)
245
246
* default username for bzr+ssh and sftp can be configured in
247
authentication.conf. (Aaron Bentley)
248
249
* launchpad-login now provides a default username for bzr+ssh and sftp
250
URLs, allowing username-free URLs to work for everyone. (Aaron Bentley)
251
252
* ``lp:`` lookups no longer include usernames, making them shareable and
253
shorter. (Aaron Bentley)
254
255
* New ``PackRepository.autopack`` smart server RPC, which does
256
autopacking entirely on the server. This is much faster than
257
autopacking via plain file methods, which downloads a large amount
258
of pack data and then re-uploads the same pack data into a single
259
file. This fixes a major (although infrequent) cause of lengthy
260
delays when using a smart server. For example, pushing the 10th
261
revision to a repository with 9 packs now takes 44 RPCs rather than
262
179, and much less bandwidth too. This requires Bazaar 1.9 on both
263
the client and the server, otherwise the client will fallback to the
264
slower method. (Andrew Bennetts)
265
266
BUG FIXES:
267
268
* A failure to load a plugin due to an IncompatibleAPI exception is
269
now correctly reported. (Robert Collins, #279451)
270
271
* API versioning support now has a multiple-version checking api
272
``require_any_api``. (Robert Collins, #279447)
273
274
* ``bzr branch --stacked`` from a smart server to a standalone branch
275
works again. This fixes a regression in 1.7 and 1.8.
276
(Andrew Bennetts, #270397)
277
278
* ``bzr co`` uses less memory. It used to unpack the entire WT into
279
memory before writing it to disk. This was a little bit faster, but
280
consumed lots of memory. (John Arbash Meinel, #269456)
281
282
* ``bzr missing --quiet`` no longer prints messages about whether
283
there are missing revisions. The exit code indicates whether there
284
were or not. (Martin Pool, #284748)
285
286
* Fixes to the ``annotate`` code. The fast-path which re-used the
287
stored deltas was accidentally disabled all the time, instead of
288
only when a branch was stacked. Second, the code would accidentally
289
re-use a delta even if it wasn't against the left-parent, this
290
could only happen if ``bzr reconcile`` decided that the parent
291
ordering was incorrect in the file graph. (John Arbash Meinel)
292
293
* "Permission denied" errors that occur when pushing a new branch to a
294
smart server no longer cause tracebacks. (Andrew Bennetts, #278673)
295
296
* Some compatibility fixes for building the extensions with MSVC and
297
for python2.4. (John Arbash Meinel, #277484)
298
299
* The index logic is now able to reload the list of pack files if and
300
index ends up disappearing. We still don't reload if the pack data
301
itself goes missing after checking the index. This bug appears as a
302
transient failure (file not found) when another process is writing
303
to the repository. (John Arbash Meinel, #153786)
304
305
* ``bzr switch`` and ``bzr bind`` will now update the branch nickname if
306
it was previously set. All checkouts will now refer to the bound branch
307
for a nickname if one was not explicitly set.
308
(Marius Kruger, #230903)
309
310
DOCUMENTATION:
311
312
* Improved hook documentation. (Michael Ernst)
313
314
API CHANGES:
315
316
* commands.plugins_cmds is now a CommandRegistry, not a dict.
317
318
INTERNALS:
319
320
* New AuthenticationConfig.set_credentials method allows easy programmatic
321
configuration of authetication credentials.
322
323
324
bzr 1.8 2008-10-16
325
------------------
326
327
Bazaar 1.8 includes several fixes that improve working tree performance,
328
display of revision logs, and merges. The bzr testsuite now passes on OS
329
X and Python 2.6, and almost completely passes on Windows. The
330
smartserver code has gained several bug fixes and performance
331
improvements, and can now run server-side hooks within an http server.
332
333
BUG FIXES:
334
335
* Fix "Must end write group" error when another error occurs during
336
``bzr push``. (Andrew Bennetts, #230902)
337
338
PORTABILITY:
339
340
* Some Pyrex versions require the WIN32 macro defined to compile on
341
that platform. (Alexander Belchenko, Martin Pool, #277481)
342
343
344
bzr 1.8rc1 2008-10-07
345
---------------------
346
347
CHANGES:
348
349
* ``bzr log file`` has been changed. It now uses a different method
350
for determining which revisions to show as merging the changes to
351
the file. It now only shows revisions which merged the change
352
towards your mainline. This simplifies the output, makes it faster,
353
and reduces memory consumption. (John Arbash Meinel)
354
355
* ``bzr merge`` now defaults to having ``--reprocess`` set, whenever
356
``--show-base`` is not supplied. (John Arbash Meinel)
357
358
* ``bzr+http//`` will now optionally load plugins and write logs on the
359
server. (Marius Kruger)
360
361
* ``bzrlib._dirstate_helpers_c.pyx`` does not compile correctly with
362
Pyrex 0.9.4.1 (it generates C code which causes segfaults). We
363
explicitly blacklist that version of the compiler for that
364
extension. Packaged versions will include .c files created with
365
pyrex >= 0.9.6 so it doesn't effect releases, only users running
366
from the source tree. (John Arbash Meinel, #276868)
367
368
FEATURES:
369
370
* bzr is now compatible with python-2.6. python-2.6 is not yet officially
371
supported (nor released, tests were conducted with the dev version of
372
python-2.6rc2), but all known problems have been fixed. Feedback
373
welcome.
374
(Vincent Ladeuil, #269535)
375
376
IMPROVEMENTS:
377
378
* ``bzr annotate`` will now include uncommitted changes from the local
379
working tree by default. Such uncommitted changes are given the
380
revision number they would get if a commit was done, followed with a
381
? to indicate that its not actually known. (Robert Collins, #3439)
382
383
* ``bzr branch`` now accepts a ``--standalone`` option, which creates a
384
standalone branch regardless of the presence of shared repositories.
385
(Daniel Watkins)
386
387
* ``bzr push`` is faster in the case there are no new revisions to
388
push. It is also faster if there are no tags in the local branch.
389
(Andrew Bennetts)
390
391
* File changes during a commit will update the tree stat cache.
392
(Robert Collins)
393
394
* Location aliases can now accept a trailing path. (Micheal Hudson)
395
396
* New hooks ``Lock.hooks`` when LockDirs are acquired and released.
397
(Robert Collins, MartinPool)
398
399
* Switching in heavyweight checkouts uses the master branch's context, not
400
the checkout's context. (Adrian Wilkins)
401
402
* ``status`` on large trees is now faster, due to optimisations in the
403
walkdirs code. Of particular note, the walkdirs code now performs
404
a temporary ``chdir()`` while reading a single directory; if your
405
platform has non thread-local current working directories (and is
406
not windows which has its own implementation), this may introduce a
407
race condition during concurrent uses of bzrlib. The bzrlib CLI
408
will not encounter this as it is single threaded for working tree
409
operations. (Robert Collins)
410
411
* The C extensions now build on python 2.4 (Robert Collins, #271939)
412
413
* The ``-Dhpss`` debug flag now reports the number of smart server
414
calls per medium to stderr. This is in addition to the existing
415
detailed logging to the .bzr.log trace file. (Andrew Bennetts)
416
417
BUG FIXES:
418
419
* Avoid random failures arising from misinterpreted ``errno`` values
420
in ``_readdir_pyx.read_dir``.
421
(Martin Pool, #279381)
422
423
* Branching from a shared repository on a smart server into a new
424
repository now preserves the repository format.
425
(Andrew Bennetts, #269214)
426
427
* ``bzr log`` now accepts a ``--change`` option.
428
(Vincent Ladeuil, #248427)
429
430
* ``bzr missing`` now accepts an ``--include-merges`` option.
431
(Vincent Ladeuil, #233817)
432
433
* Don't try to filter (internally) '.bzr' from the files to be deleted if
434
it's not there.
435
(Vincent Ladeuil, #272648)
436
437
* Fix '_in_buffer' AttributeError when using the -Dhpss debug flag.
438
(Andrew Bennetts)
439
440
* Fix TooManyConcurrentRequests errors caused by a connection failure
441
when doing ``bzr pull`` or ``bzr merge`` from a ``bzr+ssh`` URL.
442
(Andrew Bennetts, #246233)
443
444
* Fixed ``bzr st -r branch:PATH_TO_BRANCH`` where the other branch
445
is in a different repository than the current one.
446
(Lukáš Lalinský, #144421)
447
448
* Make the first line of the manpage preamble a comment again.
449
(David Futcher, #242106)
450
451
* Remove use of optional parameter in GSSAPI FTP support, since
452
it breaks newer versions of Python-Kerberos. (Jelmer Vernooij)
453
454
* The autopacking logic will now always create a single new pack from
455
all of the content which it deems is worth moving. This avoids the
456
'repack a single pack' bug and should result in better packing
457
overall. (John Arbash Meinel, #242510, #172644)
458
459
* Trivial documentation fix.
460
(John Arbash Meinel, #270471)
461
462
* ``bzr switch`` and ``bzr bind`` will now update the branch nickname if
463
it was previously set. All checkouts will now refer to the bound branch
464
for a nickname if one was not explicitly set.
465
(Marius Kruger, #230903)
466
467
DOCUMENTATION:
468
469
* Explain revision/range identifiers. (Daniel Clemente)
470
471
API CHANGES:
472
473
* ``CommitBuilder.record_entry_contents`` returns one more element in
474
its result tuple - an optional file system hash for the hash cache
475
to use. (Robert Collins)
476
477
* ``dirstate.DirState.update_entry`` will now only calculate the sha1
478
of a file if it is likely to be needed in determining the output
479
of iter_changes. (Robert Collins)
480
481
* The PackRepository, RepositoryPackCollection, NewPack classes have a
482
slightly changed interface to support different index types; as a
483
result other users of these classes need to supply the index types
484
they want. (Robert Collins)
485
486
TESTING:
487
488
* ``bzrlib.tests.repository_implementations`` has been renamed to
489
``bzrlib.tests.per_repository`` so that we have a common structure
490
(and it is shorter). (John Arbash Meinel, #239343)
491
492
* ``LocalTransport.abspath()`` now returns a drive letter if the
493
transport has one, fixing numerous tests on Windows.
494
(Mark Hammond)
495
496
* PreviewTree is now tested via intertree_implementations.
497
(Aaron Bentley)
498
499
* The full test suite is passing again on OSX.
500
(Guillermo Gonzalez, Vincent Ladeuil)
501
502
* The full test suite passes when run with ``-Eallow_debug``.
503
(Andrew Bennetts)
504
505
INTERNALS:
506
507
* A new hook, ``Branch.open``, has been added, which is called when
508
branch objects are opened. (Robert Collins)
509
510
* ``bzrlib.osutils._walkdirs_utf8`` has been refactored into common
511
tree walking, and modular directory listing code to aid future
512
performance optimisations and refactoring. (Robert Collins)
513
514
* ``bzrlib.trace.debug_memory`` can be used to get a quick memory dump
515
in the middle of processing. It only reports memory if
516
``/proc/PID/status`` is available. (John Arbash Meinel)
517
518
* New method ``RevisionSpec.as_tree`` for representing the revision
519
specifier as a revision tree object. (Lukáš Lalinský)
520
521
* New race-free method on MutableTree ``get_file_with_stat`` for use
522
when generating stat cache results. (Robert Collins)
523
524
* New win32utils.get_local_appdata_location() provides access to a local
525
directory for storing data. (Mark Hammond)
526
527
* To be compatible with python-2.6 a few new rules should be
528
observed. 'message' attribute can't be used anymore in exception
529
classes, 'sha' and 'md5' modules have been deprecated (use
530
osutils.[md5|sha]), object__init__ and object.__new__ don't accept
531
parameters anymore.

bzr 1.7.1 2008-10-01
536
--------------------
537
538
No changes from 1.7.1rc1.
539
540
541
bzr 1.7.1rc1 2008-09-24
542
-----------------------
543
544
This release just includes an update to how the merge algorithm handles
545
file paths when we encounter complex history.
546
547
FEATURES:
548
549
* If we encounter a criss-cross in history, use information from
550
direct Least Common Ancestors to resolve inventory shape (locations
551
of files, adds, deletes, etc). This is similar in concept to using
552
``--lca`` for merging file texts, only applied to paths.
553

556
bzr 1.7 2008-09-23
557
------------------
558
559
This release includes many bug fixes and a few performance and feature
560
improvements. ``bzr rm`` will now scan for missing files and remove them,
561
like how ``bzr add`` scans for unknown files and adds them. A bit more
562
polish has been applied to the stacking code. The b-tree indexing code has
563
been brought in, with an eye on using it in a future repository format.
564
There are only minor installer changes since bzr-1.7rc2.
565
566
FEATURES
567
568
* Some small updates to the win32 installer. Include localization
569
files found in plugins, and include the builtin distutils as part of
570
packaging qbzr. (Mark Hammond)
571
572
573
bzr 1.7rc2 2008-09-17
574
---------------------
575
576
A few bug fixes from 1.7rc1. The biggest change is a new
577
``RemoteBranch.get_stacked_on_url`` rpc. This allows clients that are
578
trying to access a Stacked branch over the smart protocol, to properly
579
connect to the stacked-on location.
580
581
BUG FIXES:
582
583
* Branching from a shared repository on a smart server into a new
584
repository now preserves the repository format.
585
(Andrew Bennetts, #269214)
586
587
* Branching from a stacked branch via ``bzr+ssh`` can properly connect
588
to the stacked-on branch. (Martin Pool, #261315)
589
590
* ``bzr init`` no longer re-opens the BzrDir multiple times.
591
(Vincent Ladeuil)
592
593
* Fix '_in_buffer' AttributeError when using the -Dhpss debug flag.

bzr 1.7rc1 2008-09-09
598
---------------------
599
600
This release candidate for bzr 1.7 has several bug fixes and a few
601
performance and feature improvements. ``bzr rm`` will now scan for
602
missing files and remove them, like how ``bzr add`` scans for unknown
603
files and adds them. A bit more polish has been applied to the stacking
604
code. The b-tree indexing code has been brought in, with an eye on using
605
it in a future repository format.
606
607
608
CHANGES:
609
610
* ``bzr export`` can now export a subdirectory of a project.
611
(Robert Collins)
612
613
* ``bzr remove-tree`` will now refuse to remove a tree with uncommitted
614
changes, unless the ``--force`` option is specified.
615
(Lukáš Lalinský, #74101)
616
617
* ``bzr rm`` will now scan for files that are missing and remove just
618
them automatically, much as ``bzr add`` scans for new files that
619
are not ignored and adds them automatically. (Robert Collins)
620
621
FEATURES
622
623
* Support for GSSAPI authentication when using FTP as documented in
624
RFC2228. (Jelmer Vernooij, #49623)
625
626
* Add support for IPv6 in the smart server. (Jelmer Vernooij, #165014)
627
628
IMPROVEMENTS:
629
630
* A url like ``log+file:///tmp`` will log all access to that Transport
631
to ``.bzr.log``, which may help in debugging or profiling.
632
(Martin Pool)
633
634
* ``bzr branch`` and ``bzr push`` use the default stacking policy if the
635
branch format supports it. (Aaron Bentley)
636
637
* ``bzr init`` and ``bzr init-repo`` will now print out the same as
638
``bzr info`` if it completed successfully.
639
(Marius Kruger)
640
641
* ``bzr uncommit`` logs the old tip revision id, and displays how to
642
restore the branch to that tip using ``bzr pull``. This allows you
643
to recover if you realize you uncommitted the wrong thing.
644
(John Arbash Meinel)
645
646
* Fix problems in accessing stacked repositories over ``bzr://``.
647
(Martin Pool, #261315)
648
649
* ``SFTPTransport.readv()`` was accidentally using ``list += string``,
650
which 'works', but adds each character separately to the list,
651
rather than using ``list.append(string)``. Fixing this makes the
652
SFTP transport a little bit faster (~20%) and use a bit less memory.
653
(John Arbash Meinel)
654
655
* When reading index files, if we happen to read the whole file in a
656
single request treat it as a ``_buffer_all`` request. This happens
657
most often on small indexes over remote transports, where we default
658
to reading 64kB. It saves a round trip for each small index during
659
fetch operations. Also, if we have read more than 50% of an index
660
file, trigger a ``_buffer_all`` on the next request. This works
661
around some inefficiencies because reads don't fall neatly on page
662
boundaries, so we would ignore those bytes, but request them again
663
later. This could trigger a total read size of more than the whole
664
file. (John Arbash Meinel)
665
666
BUG FIXES:
667
668
* ``bzr rm`` is now aliased to ``bzr del`` for the convenience of svn
669
users. (Robert Collins, #205416)
670
671
* Catch the infamous "select/poll returned error" which occurs when
672
pycurl try to send a body request to an HTTP/1.0 server which has
673
already refused to handle the request. (Vincent Ladeuil, #225020)
674
675
* Fix ``ObjectNotLocked`` errors when using various commands
676
(including ``bzr cat`` and ``bzr annotate``) in combination with a
677
smart server URL. (Andrew Bennetts, #237067)
678
679
* ``FTPTransport.stat()`` would return ``0000`` as the permission bits
680
for the containing ``.bzr/`` directory (it does not implement
681
permissions). This would cause us to set all subdirectories to
682
``0700`` and files to ``0600`` rather than leaving them unmodified.
683
Now we ignore ``0000`` as the permissions and assume they are
684
invalid. (John Arbash Meinel, #259855)
685
686
* Merging from a previously joined branch will no longer cause
687
a traceback. (Jelmer Vernooij, #203376)
688
689
* Pack operations on windows network shares will work even with large
690
files. (Robert Collins, #255656)
691
692
* Running ``bzr st PATH_TO_TREE`` will no longer suppress merge
693
status. Status is also about 7% faster on mozilla sized trees
694
when the path to the root of the tree has been given. Users of
695
the internal ``show_tree_status`` function should be aware that
696
the show_pending flag is now authoritative for showing pending
697
merges, as it was originally. (Robert Collins, #225204)
698
699
* Set valid default _param_name for Option so that ListOption can embed
700
'-' in names. (Vincent Ladeuil, #263249)
701
702
* Show proper error rather than traceback when an unknown revision
703
id is specified to ``bzr cat-revision``. (Jelmer Vernooij, #175569)
704
705
* Trailing text in the dirstate file could cause the C dirstate parser
706
to try to allocate an invalid amount of memory. We now properly
707
check and test for parsing a dirstate with invalid trailing data.
708
(John Arbash Meinel, #186014)
709
710
* Unexpected error responses from a smart server no longer cause the
711
client to traceback. (Andrew Bennetts, #263527)
712
713
* Use a Windows api function to get a Unicode host name, rather than
714
assuming the host name is ascii.
715
(Mark Hammond, John Arbash Meinel, #256550)
716
717
* ``WorkingTree4`` trees will now correctly report missing-and-new
718
paths in the output of ``iter_changes``. (Robert Collins)
719
720
DOCUMENTATION:
721
722
* Updated developer documentation. (Martin Pool)
723
724
API CHANGES:
725
726
* Exporters now take 4 parameters. (Robert Collins)
727
728
* ``Tree.iter_changes`` will now return False for the content change
729
field when a file is missing in the basis tree and not present in
730
the target tree. Previously it returned True unconditionally.
731
(Robert Collins)
732
733
* The deprecated ``Branch.abspath`` and unimplemented
734
``Branch.rename_one`` and ``Branch.move`` were removed. (Jelmer Vernooij)
735
736
* BzrDir.clone_on_transport implementations must now accept a stacked_on
737
parameter. (Aaron Bentley)
738
739
* BzrDir.cloning_metadir implementations must now take a require_stacking
740
parameter. (Aaron Bentley)
741
742
TESTING:
743
744
* ``addCleanup`` now takes ``*arguments`` and ``**keyword_arguments``
745
which are then passed to the cleanup callable as it is run. In
746
addition, addCleanup no longer requires that the callables passed to
747
it be unique. (Jonathan Lange)
748
749
* Fix some tests that fail on Windows because files are deleted while
750
still in use.
751
(Mark Hammond)
752
753
* ``selftest``'s ``--starting-with`` option can now use predefined
754
prefixes so that one can say ``bzr selftest -s bp.loom`` instead of
755
``bzr selftest -s bzrlib.plugins.loom``. (Vincent Ladeuil)
756
757
* ``selftest``'s ``--starting-with`` option now accepts multiple values.
758
(Vincent Ladeuil)
759
760
INTERNALS:
761
762
* A new plugin interface, ``bzrlib.log.log_adapters``, has been added.
763
This allows dynamic log output filtering by plugins.
764
(Robert Collins)
765
766
* ``bzrlib.btree_index`` is now available, providing a b-tree index
767
layer. The design is memory conservative (limited memory cache),
768
faster to seek (approx 100 nodes per page, gives 100-way fan out),
769
and stores compressed pages allowing more keys per page.
770
(Robert Collins, John Arbash Meinel)
771
772
* ``bzrlib.diff.DiffTree.show_diff`` now skips changes where the kind
773
is unknown in both source and target.
774
(Robert Collins, Aaron Bentley)
775
776
* ``GraphIndexBuilder.add_node`` and ``BTreeBuilder`` have been
777
streamlined a bit. This should make creating large indexes faster.
778
(In benchmarking, it now takes less time to create a BTree index than
779
it takes to read the GraphIndex one.) (John Arbash Meinel)
780
781
* Mail clients for `bzr send` are now listed in a registry. This
782
allows plugins to add new clients by registering them with
783
``bzrlib.mail_client.mail_client_registry``. All of the built-in
784
clients now use this mechanism. (Neil Martinsen-Burrell)
785

787
bzr 1.6.1 2008-09-05
788
--------------------
789
790
A couple regressions were found in the 1.6 release. There was a
791
performance issue when using ``bzr+ssh`` to branch large repositories,
792
and some problems with stacking and ``rich-root`` capable repositories.
793
794
795
bzr 1.6.1rc2 2008-09-03
796
-----------------------
797
798
BUG FIXES:
799
800
* Copying between ``rich-root`` and ``rich-root-pack`` (and vice
801
versa) was accidentally using the inter-model fetcher, instead of
802
recognizing that both were 'rich root' formats.
803
(John Arbash Meinel, #264321)
804
805
806
bzr 1.6.1rc1 2008-08-29
807
-----------------------
808
809
This release fixes a few regressions found in the 1.6 client. Fetching
810
changes was using an O(N^2) buffering algorithm, so for large projects it
811
would cause memory thrashing. There is also a specific problem with the
812
``--1.6-rich-root`` format, which prevented stacking on top of
813
``--rich-root-pack`` repositories, and could allow users to accidentally
814
fetch experimental data (``-subtree``) without representing it properly.
815
The ``--1.6-rich-root`` format has been deprecated and users are
816
recommended to upgrade to ``--1.6.1-rich-root`` immediately. Also we
817
re-introduced a workaround for users who have repositories with incorrect
818
nodes (not possible if you only used official releases).
819
I should also clarify that none of this is data loss level issues, but
820
still sufficient enough to warrant an updated release.
821
822
BUG FIXES:
823
824
* ``RemoteTransport.readv()`` was being inefficient about how it
825
buffered the readv data and processed it. It would keep appending to
826
the same string (causing many copies) and then pop bytes out of the
827
start of the string (causing more copies).
828
With this patch "bzr+ssh://local" can improve dramatically,
829
especially for projects with large files.
830
(John Arbash Meinel)
831
832
* Revision texts were always meant to be stored as fulltexts. There
833
was a bug in a bzr.dev version that would accidentally create deltas
834
when copying from a Pack repo to a Knit repo. This has been fixed,
835
but to support those repositories, we know always request full texts
836
for Revision texts. (John Arbash Meinel, #261339)
837
838
* The previous ``--1.6-rich-root`` format used an incorrect xml
839
serializer, which would accidentally support fetching from a
840
repository that supported subtrees, even though the local one would
841
not. We deprecated that format, and introduced a new one that uses
842
the correct serializer ``--1.6.1-rich-root``.
843
(John Arbash Meinel, #262333)

846
bzr 1.6 2008-08-25
847
------------------
848
849
Finally, the long awaited bzr 1.6 has been released. This release includes
850
new features like Stacked Branches, improved weave merge, and an updated
851
server protocol (now on v3) which will allow for better cross version
852
compatibility. With this release we have deprecated Knit format
853
repositories, and recommend that users upgrade them, we will continue to
854
support reading and writing them for the forseeable future, but we will
855
not be tuning them for performance as pack repositories have proven to be
856
better at scaling. This will also be the first release to bundle
857
TortoiseBzr in the standalone Windows installer.
858
859
860
bzr 1.6rc5 2008-08-19
861
---------------------
862
863
BUG FIXES:
864
865
* Disable automatic detection of stacking based on a containing
866
directory of the target. It interacted badly with push, and needs a
867
bit more work to get the edges polished before it should happen
868
automatically. (John Arbash Meinel, #259275)
869
(This change was reverted when merged to bzr.dev)
870
871
872
bzr 1.6rc4 2008-08-18
873
---------------------
874
875
BUG FIXES:
876
877
* Fix a regression in knit => pack fetching. We had a logic
878
inversion, causing the fetch to insert fulltexts in random order,
879
rather than preserving deltas. (John Arbash Meinel, #256757)
880
881
882
bzr 1.6rc3 2008-08-14
883
---------------------
884
885
CHANGES:
886
887
* Disable reading ``.bzrrules`` as a per-branch rule preferences
888
file. The feature was not quite ready for a full release.
889
(Robert Collins)
890
891
IMPROVEMENTS:
892
893
* Update the windows installer to bundle TortoiseBzr and ``qbzr``
894
into the standalone installer. This will be the first official
895
windows release that installs Tortoise by default.
896
(Mark Hammond)
897
898
BUG FIXES:
899
900
* Fix a regression in ``bzr+http`` support. There was a missing
901
function (``_read_line``) that needed to be carried over from
902
``bzr+ssh`` support. (Andrew Bennetts)
903
904
* ``GraphIndex`` objects will internally read an entire index if more
905
than 1/20th of their keyspace is requested in a single operation.
906
This largely mitigates a performance regression in ``bzr log FILE``
907
and completely corrects the performance regression in ``bzr log``.
908
The regression was caused by removing an accomodation which had been
909
supporting the index format in use. A newer index format is in
910
development which is substantially faster. (Robert Collins)
911
912
913
bzr 1.6rc2 2008-08-13
914
---------------------
915
916
This release candidate has a few minor bug fixes, and some regression
917
fixes for Windows.
918
919
BUG FIXES:
920
921
* ``bzr upgrade`` on remote branches accessed via bzr:// and
922
bzr+ssh:// now works. (Andrew Bennetts)
923
924
* Change the ``get_format_description()`` strings for
925
``RepositoryFormatKnitPack5`` et al to be single line messages.
926
(Aaron Bentley)
927
928
* Fix for a regression on Win32 where we would try to call
929
``os.listdir()`` on a file and not catch the exception properly.
930
(Windows raises a different exception.) This would manifest in
931
places like ``bzr rm file`` or ``bzr switch``.
932
(Mark Hammond, John Arbash Meinel)
933
934
* ``Inventory.copy()`` was failing to set the revision property for
935
the root entry. (Jelmer Vernooij)
936
937
* sftp transport: added missing ``FileExists`` case to
938
``_translate_io_exception`` (Christophe Troestler, #123475)
939
940
* The help for ``bzr ignored`` now suggests ``bzr ls --ignored`` for
941
scripting use. (Robert Collins, #3834)
942
943
* The default ``annotate`` logic will now always assign the
944
last-modified value of a line to one of the revisions that modified
945
it, rather than a merge revision. This would happen when both sides
946
claimed to have modified the line resulting in the same text. The
947
choice is arbitrary but stable, so merges in different directions
948
will get the same results. (John Arbash Meinel, #232188)

bzr 1.6rc1 2008-08-06
952
---------------------
953
954
This release candidate for bzr 1.6 solidifies the new branch stacking
955
feature. Bazaar now recommends that users upgrade all knit repositories,
956
because later formats are much faster. However, we plan to continue read/write and
957
upgrade support for knit repostories for the forseeable future. Several
958
other bugs and performance issues were fixed.
959
960
CHANGES:
961
962
* Knit format repositories are deprecated and bzr will now emit
963
warnings whenever it encounters one. Use ``bzr upgrade`` to upgrade
964
knit repositories to pack format. (Andrew Bennetts)
965
966
IMPROVEMENTS:
967
968
* ``bzr check`` can now be told which elements at a location it should
969
check. (Daniel Watkins)
970
971
* Commit now supports ``--exclude`` (or ``-x``) to exclude some files
972
from the commit. (Robert Collins, #3117)
973
974
* Fetching data between repositories that have the same model but no
975
optimised fetcher will not reserialise all the revisions, increasing
976
performance. (Robert Collins, John Arbash Meinel)
977
978
* Give a more specific error when target branch is not reachable.
979
(James Westby)
980
981
* Implemented a custom ``walkdirs_utf8`` implementation for win32.
982
This uses a pyrex extension to get direct access to the
983
``FindFirstFileW`` style apis, rather than using ``listdir`` +
984
``lstat``. Shows a very strong improvement in commands like
985
``status`` and ``diff`` which have to iterate the working tree.
986
Anywhere from 2x-6x faster depending on the size of the tree (bigger
987
trees, bigger benefit.) (John Arbash Meinel)
988
989
* New registry for log properties handles and the method in
990
LongLogFormatter to display the custom properties returned by the
991
registered handlers. (Guillermo Gonzalez, #162469)
992
993
BUG FIXES:
994
995
* Add more tests that stacking does not create deltas spanning
996
physical repository boundaries.
997
(Martin Pool, #252428)
998
999
* Better message about incompatible repositories.
1000
(Martin Pool, #206258)
1001
1002
* ``bzr branch --stacked`` ensures the destination branch format can
1003
support stacking, even if the origin does not.
1004
(Martin Pool)
1005
1006
* ``bzr export`` no longer exports ``.bzrrules``.
1007
(Ian Clatworthy)
1008
1009
* ``bzr serve --directory=/`` now correctly allows the whole
1010
filesystem to be accessed on Windows, not just the root of the drive
1011
that Python is running from.
1012
(Adrian Wilkins, #240910)
1013
1014
* Deleting directories by hand before running ``bzr rm`` will not
1015
cause subsequent errors in ``bzr st`` and ``bzr commit``.
1016
(Robert Collins, #150438)
1017
1018
* Fix a test case that was failing if encoding wasn't UTF-8.
1019
(John Arbash Meinel, #247585)
1020
1021
* Fix "no buffer space available" error when branching with the new
1022
smart server protocol to or from Windows.
1023
(Andrew Bennetts, #246180)
1024
1025
* Fixed problem in branching from smart server.
1026
(#249256, Michael Hudson, Martin Pool)
1027
1028
* Handle a file turning in to a directory in TreeTransform.
1029
(James Westby, #248448)
1030
1031
API CHANGES:
1032
1033
* ``MutableTree.commit`` has an extra optional keywork parameter
1034
``exclude`` that will be unconditionally supplied by the command
1035
line UI - plugins that add tree formats may need an update.
1036
(Robert Collins)
1037
1038
* The API minimum version for plugin compatibility has been raised to
1039
1.6 - there are significant changes throughout the code base.
1040
(Robert Collins)
1041
1042
* The generic fetch code now uses three attributes on Repository objects
1043
to control fetch. The streams requested are controlled via :
1044
``_fetch_order`` and ``_fetch_uses_deltas``. Setting these
1045
appropriately allows different repository implementations to recieve
1046
data in their optimial form. If the ``_fetch_reconcile`` is set then
1047
a reconcile operation is triggered at the end of the fetch.
1048
(Robert Collins)
1049
1050
* The ``put_on_disk`` and ``get_tar_item`` methods in
1051
``InventoryEntry`` were deprecated. (Ian Clatworthy)
1052
1053
* ``Repository.is_shared`` doesn't take a read lock. It didn't
1054
need one in the first place (nobody cached the value, and
1055
``RemoteRepository`` wasn't taking one either). This saves a round
1056
trip when probing Pack repositories, as they read the ``pack-names``
1057
file when locked. And during probe, locking the repo isn't very
1058
useful. (John Arbash Meinel)
1059
1060
INTERNALS:
1061
1062
* ``bzrlib.branchbuilder.BranchBuilder`` is now much more capable of
1063
putting together a real history without having to create a full
1064
WorkingTree. It is recommended that tests that are not directly
1065
testing the WorkingTree use BranchBuilder instead. See
1066
``BranchBuilder.build_snapshot`` or
1067
``TestCaseWithMemoryTree.make_branch_builder``. (John Arbash Meinel)
1068
1069
* ``bzrlib.builtins.internal_tree_files`` broken into two giving a new
1070
helper ``safe_relpath_files`` - used by the new ``exclude``
1071
parameter to commit. (Robert Collins)
1072
1073
* Make it easier to introduce new WorkingTree formats.
1074
(Ian Clatworthy)
1075
1076
* The code for exporting trees was refactored not to use the
1077
deprecated ``InventoryEntry`` methods. (Ian Clatworthy)
1078
1079
* RuleSearchers return () instead of [] now when there are no matches.
1080
(Ian Clatworthy)
1081
1082
1083
bzr 1.6beta3 2008-07-17
1084
-----------------------
1085
1086
This release adds a new 'stacked branches' feature allowing branches to
1087
share storage without being in the same repository or on the same machine.
1088
(See the user guide for more details.) It also adds a new hook, improved
1089
weaves, aliases for related locations, faster bzr+ssh push, and several
1090
bug fixes.
1091
1092
FEATURES:
1093
1094
* New ``pre_change_branch_tip`` hook that is called before the
1095
branch tip is moved, while the branch is write-locked. See the User
1096
Reference for signature details. (Andrew Bennetts)
1097
1098
* Rule-based preferences can now be defined for selected files in
1099
selected branches, allowing commands and plugins to provide
1100
custom behaviour for files matching defined patterns.
1101
See ``Rule-based preferences`` (part of ``Configuring Bazaar``)
1102
in the User Guide and ``bzr help rules`` for more information.
1103
(Ian Clatworthy)
1104
1105
* Sites may suggest a branch to stack new branches on. (Aaron Bentley)
1106
1107
* Stacked branches are now supported. See ``bzr help branch`` and
1108
``bzr help push``. Branches must be in the ``development1`` format
1109
to stack, though the stacked-on branch can be of any format.
1110
(Robert Collins)
1111
1112
IMPROVEMENTS:
1113
1114
* ``bzr export --format=tgz --root=NAME -`` to export a gzipped tarball
1115
to stdout; also ``tar`` and ``tbz2``.
1116
(Martin Pool)
1117
1118
* ``bzr (re)merge --weave`` will now use a standard Weave algorithm,
1119
rather than the annotation-based merge it was using. It does so by
1120
building up a Weave of the important texts, without needing to build
1121
the full ancestry. (John Arbash Meinel, #238895)
1122
1123
* ``bzr send`` documents and better supports ``emacsclient`` (proper
1124
escaping of mail headers and handling of the MUA Mew).
1125
(Christophe Troestler)
1126
1127
* Remembered locations can be specified by aliases, e.g. :parent, :public,
1128
:submit. (Aaron Bentley)
1129
1130
* The smart protocol now has improved support for setting branches'
1131
revision info directly. This makes operations like push
1132
faster. The new request method name is
1133
``Branch.set_last_revision_ex``. (Andrew Bennetts)
1134
1135
BUG FIXES:
1136
1137
* Bazaar is now able to be a client to the web server of IIS 6 and 7.
1138
The broken implementations of RFC822 in Python and RFC2046 in IIS
1139
combined with boundary-line checking in Bazaar previously made this
1140
impossible. (NB, IIS 5 does not suffer from this problem).
1141
(Adrian Wilkins, #247585)
1142
1143
* ``bzr log --long`` with a ghost in your mainline now handles that
1144
ghost properly. (John Arbash Meinel, #243536)
1145
1146
* ``check`` handles the split-up .bzr layout correctly, so no longer
1147
requires a branch to be present.
1148
(Daniel Watkins, #64783)
1149
1150
* Clearer message about how to set the PYTHONPATH if bzrlib can't be
1151
loaded.
1152
(Martin Pool, #205230)
1153
1154
* Errors about missing libraries are now shown without a traceback,
1155
and with a suggestion to install the library. The full traceback is
1156
still in ``.bzr.log`` and can be shown with ``-Derror``.
1157
(Martin Pool, #240161)
1158
1159
* Fetch from a stacked branch copies all required data.
1160
(Aaron Bentley, #248506)
1161
1162
* Handle urls such as ftp://user@host.com@www.host.com where the user
1163
name contains an @.
1164
(Neil Martinsen-Burrell, #228058)
1165
1166
* ``needs_read_lock`` and ``needs_write_lock`` now suppress an error during
1167
``unlock`` if there was an error in the original function. This helps
1168
most when there is a failure with a smart server action, since often the
1169
connection closes and we cannot unlock.
1170
(Andrew Bennetts, John Arbash Meinel, #125784)
1171
1172
* Obsolete hidden command ``bzr fetch`` removed.
1173
(Martin Pool, #172870)
1174
1175
* Raise the correct exception when doing ``-rbefore:0`` or ``-c0``.
1176
(John Arbash Meinel, #239933)
1177
1178
* You can now compare file revisions in Windows diff programs from
1179
Cygwin Bazaar.
1180
(Matt McClure, #209281)
1181
1182
* revision_history now tolerates mainline ghosts for Branch format 6.
1183
(Aaron Bentley, #235055)
1184
1185
* Set locale from environment for third party libs.
1186
(Martin von Gagern, #128496)
1187
1188
DOCUMENTATION:
1189
1190
* Added *Using stacked branches* to the User Guide.
1191
(Ian Clatworthy)
1192
1193
* Updated developer documentation.
1194
(Martin Pool)
1195
1196
TESTING:
1197
1198
* ``-Dmemory`` will cause /proc/PID/status to be catted before bzr
1199
exits, allowing low-key analysis of peak memory use. (Robert Collins)
1200
1201
* ``TestCaseWithTransport.make_branch_and_tree`` tries harder to return
1202
a tree with a ``branch`` attribute of the right format. This was
1203
preventing some ``RemoteBranch`` tests from actually running with
1204
``RemoteBranch`` instances. (Andrew Bennetts)
1205
1206
API CHANGES:
1207
1208
* Removed ``Repository.text_store``, ``control_store``, etc. Instead,
1209
there are new attributes ``texts, inventories, revisions,
1210
signatures``, each of which is a ``VersionedFiles``. See the
1211
Repository docstring for more details.
1212
(Robert Collins)
1213
1214
* ``Branch.pull`` now accepts an ``_override_hook_target`` optional
1215
parameter. If you have a subclass of ``Branch`` that overrides
1216
``pull`` then you should add this parameter. (Andrew Bennetts)
1217
1218
* ``bzrlib.check.check()`` has been deprecated in favour of the more
1219
aptly-named ``bzrlib.check.check_branch()``.
1220
(Daniel Watkins)
1221
1222
* ``Tree.print_file`` and ``Repository.print_file`` are deprecated.
1223
These methods are bad APIs because they write directly to sys.stdout.
1224
bzrlib does not use them internally, and there are no direct tests
1225
for them. (Alexander Belchenko)
1226
1227
INTERNALS:
1228
1229
* ``cat`` command no longer uses ``Tree.print_file()`` internally.
1230
(Alexander Belchenko)
1231
1232
* New class method ``BzrDir.open_containing_tree_branch_or_repository``
1233
which eases the discovery of the tree, the branch and the repository
1234
containing a given location.
1235
(Daniel Watkins)
1236
1237
* New ``versionedfile.KeyMapper`` interface to abstract out the access to
1238
underlying .knit/.kndx etc files in repositories with partitioned
1239
storage. (Robert Collins)
1240
1241
* Obsolete developer-use command ``weave-join`` has been removed.
1242
(Robert Collins)
1243
1244
* ``RemoteToOtherFetcher`` and ``get_data_stream_for_search`` removed,
1245
to support new ``VersionedFiles`` layering.
1246
(Robert Collins)
1247
1248
1249
bzr 1.6beta2 2008-06-10
1250
-----------------------
1251
1252
This release contains further progress towards our 1.6 goals of shallow
1253
repositories, and contains a fix for some user-affecting bugs in the
1254
repository layer. Building working trees during checkout and branch is
1255
now faster.
1256
1257
BUG FIXES:
1258
1259
* Avoid KnitCorrupt error extracting inventories from some repositories.
1260
(The data is not corrupt; an internal check is detecting a problem
1261
reading from the repository.)
1262
(Martin Pool, Andrew Bennetts, Robert Collins, #234748)
1263
1264
* ``bzr status`` was breaking if you merged the same revision twice.
1265
(John Arbash Meinel, #235407)
1266
1267
* Fix infinite loop consuming 100% CPU when a connection is lost while
1268
reading a response body via the smart protocol v1 or v2.
1269
(Andrew Bennetts)
1270
1271
* Inserting a bundle which changes the contents of a file with no trailing
1272
end of line, causing a knit snapshot in a 'knits' repository will no longer
1273
cause KnitCorrupt. (Robert Collins)
1274
1275
* ``RemoteBranch.pull`` needs to return the ``self._real_branch``'s
1276
pull result. It was instead just returning None, which breaks ``bzr
1277
pull``. (John Arbash Meinel, #238149)
1278
1279
* Sanitize branch nick before using it as an attachment filename in
1280
``bzr send``. (Lukáš Lalinský, #210218)
1281
1282
* Squash ``inv_entry.symlink_target`` to a plain string when
1283
generating DirState details. This prevents from getting a
1284
``UnicodeError`` when you have symlinks and non-ascii filenames.
1285
(John Arbash Meinel, #135320)
1286
1287
IMPROVEMENTS:
1288
1289
* Added the 'alias' command to set/unset and display aliases. (Tim Penhey)
1290
1291
* ``added``, ``modified``, and ``unknowns`` behaviour made consistent (all three
1292
now quote paths where required). Added ``--null`` option to ``added`` and
1293
``modified`` (for null-separated unknowns, use ``ls --unknown --null``)
1294
(Adrian Wilkins)
1295
1296
* Faster branching (1.09x) and lightweight checkouts (1.06x) on large trees.
1297
(Ian Clatworthy, Aaron Bentley)
1298
1299
DOCUMENTATION:
1300
1301
* Added *Bazaar Zen* section to the User Guide. (Ian Clatworthy)
1302
1303
TESTING:
1304
1305
* Fix the test HTTPServer to be isolated from chdir calls made while it is
1306
running, allowing it to be used in blackbox tests. (Robert Collins)
1307
1308
API CHANGES:
1309
1310
* ``WorkingTree.set_parent_(ids/trees)`` will now filter out revisions
1311
which are in the ancestry of other revisions. So if you merge the same
1312
tree twice, or merge an ancestor of an existing merge, it will only
1313
record the newest. (If you merge a descendent, it will replace its
1314
ancestor). (John Arbash Meinel, #235407)
1315
1316
* ``RepositoryPolicy.__init__`` now requires stack_on and stack_on_pwd,
1317
through the derived classes do not. (Aaron Bentley)
1318
1319
INTERNALS:
1320
1321
* ``bzrlib.bzrdir.BzrDir.sprout`` now accepts ``stacked`` to control
1322
creating stacked branches. (Robert Collins)
1323
1324
* Knit record serialisation is now stricter on what it will accept, to
1325
guard against potential internal bugs, or broken input. (Robert Collins)
1326
1327
1328
bzr 1.6beta1 2008-06-02
1329
-----------------------
1330
1331
1332
Commands that work on the revision history such as push, pull, missing,
1333
uncommit and log are now substantially faster. This release adds a
1334
translation of some of the user documentation into Spanish. (Contributions of
1335
other translations would be very welcome.) Bazaar 1.6beta1 adds a new network
1336
protocol which is used by default and which allows for more efficient transfers
1337
and future extensions.
1338
1339
1340
NOTES WHEN UPGRADING:
1341
1342
* There is a new version of the network protocol used for bzr://, bzr+ssh://
1343
and bzr+http:// connections. This will allow more efficient requests and
1344
responses, and more graceful fallback when a server is too old to
1345
recognise a request from a more recent client. Bazaar 1.6 will
1346
interoperate with 0.16 and later versions, but servers should be upgraded
1347
when possible. Bazaar 1.6 no longer interoperates with 0.15 and earlier via
1348
these protocols. Use alternatives like SFTP or upgrade those servers.
1349
(Andrew Bennetts, #83935)
1350
1351
CHANGES:
1352
1353
* Deprecation warnings will not be suppressed when running ``bzr selftest``
1354
so that developers can see if their code is using deprecated functions.
1355
(John Arbash Meinel)
1356
1357
FEATURES:
1358
1359
* Adding ``-Derror`` will now display a traceback when a plugin fails to
1360
load. (James Westby)
1361
1362
IMPROVEMENTS:
1363
1364
* ``bzr branch/push/pull -r XXX`` now have a helper function for finding
1365
the revno of the new revision (``Graph.find_distance_to_null``). This
1366
should make something like ``bzr branch -r -100`` in a shared, no-trees
1367
repository much snappier. (John Arbash Meinel)
1368
1369
* ``bzr log --short -r X..Y`` no longer needs to access the full revision
1370
history. This makes it noticeably faster when logging the last few
1371
revisions. (John Arbash Meinel)
1372
1373
* ``bzr ls`` now accepts ``-V`` as an alias for ``--versioned``.
1374
(Jerad Cramp, #165086)
1375
1376
* ``bzr missing`` uses the new ``Graph.find_unique_ancestors`` and
1377
``Graph.find_differences`` to determine missing revisions without having
1378
to search the whole ancestry. (John Arbash Meinel, #174625)
1379
1380
* ``bzr uncommit`` now uses partial history access, rather than always
1381
extracting the full revision history for a branch. This makes it
1382
resolve the appropriate revisions much faster (in testing it drops
1383
uncommit from 1.5s => 0.4s). It also means ``bzr log --short`` is one
1384
step closer to not using full revision history.
1385
(John Arbash Meinel, #172649)
1386
1387
BUGFIXES:
1388
1389
* ``bzr merge --lca`` should handle when two revisions have no common
1390
ancestor other than NULL_REVISION. (John Arbash Meinel, #235715)
1391
1392
* ``bzr status`` was breaking if you merged the same revision twice.
1393
(John Arbash Meinel, #235407)
1394
1395
* ``bzr push`` with both ``--overwrite`` and ``-r NNN`` options no longer
1396
fails. (Andrew Bennetts, #234229)
1397
1398
* Correctly track the base URL of a smart medium when using bzr+http://
1399
URLs, which was causing spurious "No repository present" errors with
1400
branches in shared repositories accessed over bzr+http.
1401
(Andrew Bennetts, #230550)
1402
1403
* Define ``_remote_is_at_least_1_2`` on ``SmartClientMedium`` so that all
1404
implementations have the attribute. Fixes 'PyCurlTransport' object has no
1405
attribute '_remote_is_at_least_1_2' attribute errors.
1406
(Andrew Bennetts, #220806)
1407
1408
* Failure to delete an obsolete pack file should just give a warning
1409
message, not a fatal error. It may for example fail if the file is still
1410
in use by another process.
1411
(Martin Pool)
1412
1413
* Fix MemoryError during large fetches over HTTP by limiting the amount of
1414
data we try to read per ``recv`` call. The problem was observed with
1415
Windows and a proxy, but might affect other environments as well.
1416
(Eric Holmberg, #215426)
1417
1418
* Handle old merge directives correctly in Merger.from_mergeable. Stricter
1419
get_parent_map requirements exposed a latent bug here. (Aaron Bentley)
1420
1421
* Issue a warning and ignore passwords declared in authentication.conf when
1422
used for an ssh scheme (sftp or bzr+ssh).
1423
(Vincent Ladeuil, #203186)
1424
1425
* Make both http implementations raise appropriate exceptions on 403
1426
Forbidden when POSTing smart requests.
1427
(Vincent Ladeuil, #230223)
1428
1429
* Properly *title* header names in http requests instead of capitalizing
1430
them.
1431
(Vincent Ladeuil, #229076)
1432
1433
* The "Unable to obtain lock" error message now also suggests using
1434
``bzr break-lock`` to fix it. (Martin Albisetti, #139202)
1435
1436
* Treat an encoding of '' as ascii; this can happen when bzr is run
1437
under vim on Mac OS X.
1438
(Neil Martinsen-Burrell)
1439
1440
* ``VersionedFile.make_mpdiffs()`` was raising an exception that wasn't in
1441
scope. (Daniel Fischer #235687)
1442
1443
DOCUMENTATION:
1444
1445
* Added directory structure and started translation of docs in spanish.
1446
(Martin Albisetti, Lucio Albenga)
1447
1448
* Incorporate feedback from Jelmer Vernooij and Neil Martinsen-Burrell
1449
on the plugin and integration chapters of the User Guide.
1450
(Ian Clatworthy)
1451
1452
* More Bazaar developer documentation about packaging and release process,
1453
and about use of Python reprs.
1454
(Martin Pool, Martin Albisetti)
1455
1456
* Updated Tortise strategy document. (Mark Hammond)
1457
1458
TESTING:
1459
1460
* ``bzrlib.tests.adapt_tests`` was broken and unused - it has been fixed.
1461
(Robert Collins)
1462
1463
* Fix the test HTTPServer to be isolated from chdir calls made while it is
1464
running, allowing it to be used in blackbox tests. (Robert Collins)
1465
1466
* New helper function for splitting test suites
1467
``split_suite_by_condition``. (Robert Collins)
1468
1469
INTERNALS:
1470
1471
* ``Branch.missing_revisions`` has been deprecated. Similar functionality
1472
can be obtained using ``bzrlib.missing.find_unmerged``. The api was
1473
fairly broken, and the function was unused, so we are getting rid of it.
1474
(John Arbash Meinel)
1475
1476
API CHANGES:
1477
1478
* ``Branch.abspath`` is deprecated; use the Tree or Transport
1479
instead. (Martin Pool)
1480
1481
* ``Branch.update_revisions`` now takes an optional ``Graph``
1482
object. This can be used by ``update_revisions`` when it is
1483
checking ancestry, and allows callers to prefer request to go to a
1484
local branch. (John Arbash Meinel)
1485
1486
* Branch, Repository, Tree and BzrDir should expose a Transport as an
1487
attribute if they have one, rather than having it indirectly accessible
1488
as ``.control_files._transport``. This doesn't add a requirement
1489
to support a Transport in cases where it was not needed before;
1490
it just simplifies the way it is reached. (Martin Pool)
1491
1492
* ``bzr missing --mine-only`` will return status code 0 if you have no
1493
new revisions, but the remote does. Similarly for ``--theirs-only``.
1494
The new code only checks one side, so it doesn't know if the other
1495
side has changes. This seems more accurate with the request anyway.
1496
It also changes the output to print '[This|Other] branch is up to
1497
date.' rather than displaying nothing. (John Arbash Meinel)
1498
1499
* ``LockableFiles.put_utf8``, ``put_bytes`` and ``controlfilename``
1500
are now deprecated in favor of using Transport operations.
1501
(Martin Pool)
1502
1503
* Many methods on ``VersionedFile``, ``Repository`` and in
1504
``bzrlib.revision`` deprecated before bzrlib 1.5 have been removed.
1505
(Robert Collins)
1506
1507
* ``RevisionSpec.wants_revision_history`` can be set to False for a given
1508
``RevisionSpec``. This will disable the existing behavior of passing in
1509
the full revision history to ``self._match_on``. Useful for specs that
1510
don't actually need access to the full history. (John Arbash Meinel)
1511
1512
* The constructors of ``SmartClientMedium`` and its subclasses now require a
1513
``base`` parameter. ``SmartClientMedium`` implementations now also need
1514
to provide a ``remote_path_from_transport`` method. (Andrew Bennetts)
1515
1516
* The default permissions for creating new files and directories
1517
should now be obtained from ``BzrDir._get_file_mode()`` and
1518
``_get_dir_mode()``, rather than from LockableFiles. The ``_set_file_mode``
1519
and ``_set_dir_mode`` variables on LockableFiles which were advertised
1520
as a way for plugins to control this are no longer consulted.
1521
(Martin Pool)
1522
1523
* ``VersionedFile.join`` is deprecated. This method required local
1524
instances of both versioned file objects and was thus hostile to being
1525
used for streaming from a smart server. The new get_record_stream and
1526
insert_record_stream are meant to efficiently replace this method.
1527
(Robert Collins)
1528
1529
* ``WorkingTree.set_parent_(ids/trees)`` will now filter out revisions
1530
which are in the ancestry of other revisions. So if you merge the same
1531
tree twice, or merge an ancestor of an existing merge, it will only
1532
record the newest. (If you merge a descendent, it will replace its
1533
ancestor). (John Arbash Meinel, #235407)
1534
1535
* ``WorkingTreeFormat2.stub_initialize_remote`` is now private.

1540
------------------
1541
1542
This release of Bazaar includes several updates to the documentation, and fixes
1543
to prepare for making rich root support the default format. Many bugs have been
1544
squashed, including fixes to log, bzr+ssh inter-operation with older servers.
1545
1546
CHANGES:
1547
1548
* Suppress deprecation warnings when bzrlib is a 'final' release. This way
1549
users of packaged software won't be bothered with DeprecationWarnings,
1550
but developers and testers will still see them. (John Arbash Meinel)
1551
1552
DOCUMENTATION:
1553
1554
* Incorporate feedback from Jelmer Vernooij and Neil Martinsen-Burrell

1560
---------------------
1561
1562
NOTES WHEN UPGRADING:
1563
1564
CHANGES:
1565
1566
* Broader support of GNU Emacs mail clients. Set
1567
``mail_client=emacsclient`` in your bazaar.conf and ``send`` will pop the
1568
bundle in a mail buffer according to the value of ``mail-user-agent``
1569
variable. (Xavier Maillard)
1570
1571
FEATURES:
1572
1573
IMPROVEMENTS:
1574
1575
* Diff now handles revision specs like "branch:" and "submit:" more
1576
efficiently. (Aaron Bentley, #202928)
1577
1578
* More friendly error given when attempt to start the smart server
1579
on an address already in use. (Andrea Corbellini, #200575)
1580
1581
* Pull completes much faster when there is nothing to pull.
1582
(Aaron Bentley)
1583
1584
BUGFIXES:
1585
1586
* Authentication.conf can define sections without password.
1587
(Vincent Ladeuil, #199440)
1588
1589
* Avoid muttering every time a child update does not cause a progress bar
1590
update. (John Arbash Meinel, #213771)
1591
1592
* ``Branch.reconcile()`` is now implemented. This allows ``bzr reconcile``
1593
to fix when a Branch has a non-canonical mainline history. ``bzr check``
1594
also detects this condition. (John Arbash Meinel, #177855)
1595
1596
* ``bzr log -r ..X bzr://`` was failing, because it was getting a request
1597
for ``revision_id=None`` which was not a string.
1598
(John Arbash Meinel, #211661)
1599
1600
* ``bzr commit`` now works with Microsoft's FTP service.
1601
(Andreas Deininger)
1602
1603
* Catch definitions outside sections in authentication.conf.
1604
(Vincent Ladeuil, #217650)
1605
1606
* Conversion from non-rich-root to rich-root(-pack) updates inventory
1607
sha1s, even when bundles are used. (Aaron Bentley, #181391)
1608
1609
* Conversion from non-rich-root to rich-root(-pack) works correctly even
1610
though search keys are not topologically sorted. (Aaron Bentley)
1611
1612
* Conversion from non-rich-root to rich-root(-pack) works even when a
1613
parent revision has a different root id. (Aaron Bentley, #177874)
1614
1615
* Disable strace testing until strace is fixed (see bug #103133) and emit a
1616
warning when selftest ends to remind us of leaking tests.
1617
(Vincent Ladeuil, #226769)
1618
1619
* Fetching all revisions from a repository does not cause pack collisions.
1620
(Robert Collins, Aaron Bentley, #212908)
1621
1622
* Fix error about "attempt to add line-delta in non-delta knit".
1623
(Andrew Bennetts, #217701)
1624
1625
* Pushing a branch in "dirstate" format (Branch5) over bzr+ssh would break
1626
if the remote server was < version 1.2. This was due to a bug in the
1627
RemoteRepository.get_parent_map() fallback code.
1628
(John Arbash Meinel, #214894)
1629
1630
* Remove leftover code in ``bzr_branch`` that inappropriately creates
1631
a ``branch-name`` file in the branch control directory.
1632
(Martin Pool)
1633
1634
* Set SO_REUSEADDR on server sockets of ``bzr serve`` to avoid problems
1635
rebinding the socket when starting the server a second time.
1636
(John Arbash Meinel, Martin Pool, #164288)
1637
1638
* Severe performance degradation in fetching from knit repositories to
1639
knits and packs due to parsing the entire revisions.kndx on every graph
1640
walk iteration fixed by using the Repository.get_graph API. There was
1641
another regression in knit => knit fetching which re-read the index for
1642
every revision each side had in common.
1643
(Robert Collins, John Arbash Meinel)
1644
1645
* When logging the changes to a particular file, there was a bug if there
1646
were ghosts in the revision ancestry. (John Arbash Meinel, #209948)
1647
1648
* xs4all's ftp server returns a temporary error when trying to list an
1649
empty directory, rather than returning an empty list. Adding a
1650
workaround so that we don't get spurious failures.
1651
(John Arbash Meinel, #215522)
1652
1653
DOCUMENTATION:
1654
1655
* Expanded the User Guide to include new chapters on popular plugins and
1656
integrating Bazaar into your environment. The *Best practices* chapter
1657
was renamed to *Miscellaneous topics* as suggested by community
1658
feedback as well. (Ian Clatworthy)
1659
1660
* Document outlining strategies for TortoiseBzr. (Mark Hammond)
1661
1662
* Improved the documentation on hooks. (Ian Clatworthy)
1663
1664
* Update authentication docs regarding ssh agents.
1665
(Vincent Ladeuil, #183705)
1666
1667
TESTING:
1668
1669
* Add ``thread_name_suffix`` parameter to SmartTCPServer_for_testing, to
1670
make it easy to identify which test spawned a thread with an unhandled
1671
exception. (Andrew Bennetts)
1672
1673
* New ``--debugflag``/``-E`` option to ``bzr selftest`` for setting
1674
options for debugging tests, these are complementary to the the -D
1675
options. The ``-Dselftest_debug`` global option has been replaced by the
1676
``-E=allow_debug`` option for selftest. (Andrew Bennetts)
1677
1678
* Parameterised test ids are preserved correctly to aid diagnosis of test
1679
failures. (Robert Collins, Andrew Bennetts)
1680
1681
* selftest now accepts --starting-with <id> to load only the tests whose id
1682
starts with the one specified. This greatly speeds up running the test
1683
suite on a limited set of tests and can be used to run the tests for a
1684
single module, a single class or even a single test. (Vincent Ladeuil)
1685
1686
* The test suite modules have been modified to define load_tests() instead
1687
of test_suite(). That speeds up selective loading (via --load-list)
1688
significantly and provides many examples on how to migrate (grep for
1689
load_tests). (Vincent Ladeuil)
1690
1691
INTERNALS:
1692
1693
* ``Hooks.install_hook`` is now deprecated in favour of
1694
``Hooks.install_named_hook`` which adds a required ``name`` parameter, to
1695
avoid having to call ``Hooks.name_hook``. (Daniel Watkins)
1696
1697
* Implement xml8 serializer. (Aaron Bentley)
1698
1699
* New form ``@deprecated_method(deprecated_in(1, 5, 0))`` for making
1700
deprecation wrappers. (Martin Pool)
1701
1702
* ``Repository.revision_parents`` is now deprecated in favour of
1703
``Repository.get_parent_map([revid])[revid]``. (Jelmer Vernooij)
1704
1705
* The Python ``assert`` statement is no longer used in Bazaar source, and
1706
a test checks this. (Martin Pool)
1707
1708
API CHANGES:
1709
1710
* ``bzrlib.status.show_pending_merges`` requires the repository to be
1711
locked by the caller. Callers should have been doing it anyway, but it
1712
will now raise an exception if they do not. (John Arbash Meinel)
1713
1714
* Repository.get_data_stream, Repository.get_data_stream_for_search(),
1715
Repository.get_deltas_for_revsions(), Repository.revision_trees(),
1716
Repository.item_keys_introduced_by() no longer take read locks.
1717
(Aaron Bentley)
1718
1719
* ``LockableFiles.get_utf8`` and ``.get`` are deprecated, as a start
1720
towards removing LockableFiles and ``.control_files`` entirely.
1721
(Martin Pool)
1722
1723
* Methods deprecated prior to 1.1 have been removed.

bzr 1.4 2008-04-28
1728
------------------
1729
1730
This release of Bazaar includes handy improvements to the speed of log and
1731
status, new options for several commands, improved documentation, and better
1732
hooks, including initial code for server-side hooks. A number of bugs have
1733
been fixed, particularly in interoperability between different formats or
1734
different releases of Bazaar over there network. There's been substantial
1735
internal work in both the repository and network code to enable new features
1736
and faster performance.
1737
1738
BUG FIXES:
1739
1740
* Pushing a branch in "dirstate" format (Branch5) over bzr+ssh would break
1741
if the remote server was < version 1.2. This was due to a bug in the
1742
RemoteRepository.get_parent_map() fallback code.

1747
---------------------
1748
1749
BUG FIXES:
1750
1751
* ``bzr log -r ..X bzr://`` was failing, because it was getting a request
1752
for ``revision_id=None`` which was not a string.
1753
(John Arbash Meinel, #211661)
1754
1755
* Fixed a bug in handling ghost revisions when logging changes in a
1756
particular file. (John Arbash Meinel, #209948)
1757
1758
* Fix error about "attempt to add line-delta in non-delta knit".
1759
(Andrew Bennetts, #205156)
1760
1761
* Fixed performance degradation in fetching from knit repositories to
1762
knits and packs due to parsing the entire revisions.kndx on every graph
1763
walk iteration fixed by using the Repository.get_graph API. There was
1764
another regression in knit => knit fetching which re-read the index for

1770
---------------------
1771
1772
CHANGES:
1773
1774
* bzr main script cannot be imported (Benjamin Peterson)
1775
1776
* On Linux bzr additionally looks for plugins in arch-independent site
1777
directory. (Toshio Kuratomi)
1778
1779
* The ``set_rh`` branch hook is now deprecated. Please migrate
1780
any plugins using this hook to use an alternative, e.g.
1781
``post_change_branch_tip``. (Ian Clatworthy)
1782
1783
* When a plugin cannot be loaded as the file path is not a valid
1784
python module name bzr will now strip a ``bzr_`` prefix from the
1785
front of the suggested name, as many plugins (e.g. bzr-svn)
1786
want to be installed without this prefix. It is a common mistake
1787
to have a folder named "bzr-svn" for that plugin, especially
1788
as this is what bzr branch lp:bzr-svn will give you. (James Westby,
1789
Andrew Cowie)
1790
1791
* UniqueIntegerBugTracker now appends bug-ids instead of joining
1792
them to the base URL. Plugins that register bug trackers may
1793
need a trailing / added to the base URL if one is not already there.
1794
(James Wesby, Andrew Cowie)
1795
1796
FEATURES:
1797
1798
* Added start_commit hook for mutable trees. (Jelmer Vernooij, #186422)
1799
1800
* ``status`` now accepts ``--no-pending`` to show the status without
1801
listing pending merges, which speeds up the command a lot on large
1802
histories. (James Westby, #202830)
1803
1804
* New ``post_change_branch_tip`` hook that is called after the
1805
branch tip is moved but while the branch is still write-locked.
1806
See the User Reference for signature details.
1807
(Ian Clatworthy, James Henstridge)
1808
1809
* Reconfigure can convert a branch to be standalone or to use a shared
1810
repository. (Aaron Bentley)
1811
1812
IMPROVEMENTS:
1813
1814
* The smart protocol now has support for setting branches' revision info
1815
directly. This should make operations like push slightly faster, and is a
1816
step towards server-side hooks. The new request method name is
1817
``Branch.set_last_revision_info``. (Andrew Bennetts)
1818
1819
* ``bzr commit --fixes`` now recognises "gnome" as a tag by default.
1820
(James Westby, Andrew Cowie)
1821
1822
* ``bzr switch`` will attempt to find branches to switch to relative to the
1823
current branch. E.g. ``bzr switch branchname`` will look for
1824
``current_branch/../branchname``. (Robert Collins, Jelmer Vernooij,
1825
Wouter van Heyst)
1826
1827
* Diff is now more specific about execute-bit changes it describes
1828
(Chad Miller)
1829
1830
* Fetching data over HTTP is a bit faster when urllib is used. This is done
1831
by forcing it to recv 64k at a time when reading lines in HTTP headers,
1832
rather than just 1 byte at a time. (Andrew Bennetts)
1833
1834
* Log --short and --line are much faster when -r is not specified.
1835
(Aaron Bentley)
1836
1837
* Merge is faster. We no longer check a file's existence unnecessarily
1838
when merging the execute bit. (Aaron Bentley)
1839
1840
* ``bzr status`` on an explicit list of files no longer shows pending
1841
merges, making it much faster on large trees. (John Arbash Meinel)
1842
1843
* The launchpad directory service now warns the user if they have not set
1844
their launchpad login and are trying to resolve a URL using it, just
1845
in case they want to do a write operation with it. (James Westby)
1846
1847
* The smart protocol client is slightly faster, because it now only queries
1848
the server for the protocol version once per connection. Also, the HTTP
1849
transport will now automatically probe for and use a smart server if
1850
one is present. You can use the new ``nosmart+`` transport decorator
1851
to get the old behaviour. (Andrew Bennetts)
1852
1853
* The ``version`` command takes a ``--short`` option to print just the
1854
version number, for easier use in scripts. (Martin Pool)
1855
1856
* Various operations with revision specs and commands that calculate
1857
revnos and revision ids are faster. (John A. Meinel, Aaron Bentley)

BUGFIXES:
1860
1861
* Add ``root_client_path`` parameter to SmartWSGIApp and
1862
SmartServerRequest. This makes it possible to publish filesystem
1863
locations that don't exactly match URL paths. SmartServerRequest
1864
subclasses should use the new ``translate_client_path`` and
1865
``transport_from_client_path`` methods when dealing with paths received
1866
from a client to take this into account. (Andrew Bennetts, #124089)
1867
1868
* ``bzr mv a b`` can be now used also to rename previously renamed
1869
directories, not only files. (Lukáš Lalinský, #107967)
1870
1871
* ``bzr uncommit --local`` can now remove revisions from the local
1872
branch to be symmetric with ``bzr commit --local``.
1873
(John Arbash Meinel, #93412)
1874
1875
* Don't ask for a password if there is no real terminal.
1876
(Alexander Belchenko, #69851)
1877
1878
* Fix a bug causing a ValueError crash in ``parse_line_delta_iter`` when
1879
fetching revisions from a knit to pack repository or vice versa using
1880
bzr:// (including over http or ssh).
1881
(#208418, Andrew Bennetts, Martin Pool, Robert Collins)
1882
1883
* Fixed ``_get_line`` in ``bzrlib.smart.medium``, which was buggy. Also
1884
fixed ``_get_bytes`` in the same module to use the push back buffer.
1885
These bugs had no known impact in normal use, but were problematic for
1886
developers working on the code, and were likely to cause real bugs sooner
1887
or later. (Andrew Bennetts)
1888
1889
* Implement handling of basename parameter for DefaultMail. (James Westby)
1890
1891
* Incompatibility with Paramiko versions newer than 1.7.2 was fixed.
1892
(Andrew Bennetts, #213425)
1893
1894
* Launchpad locations (lp: URLs) can be pulled. (Aaron Bentley, #181945)
1895
1896
* Merges that add files to deleted root directories complete. They
1897
do create conflicts. (Aaron Bentley, #210092)
1898
1899
* vsftp's return ``550 RNFR command failed.`` supported.
1900

DOCUMENTATION:
1903
1904
* Improved documentation on send/merge relationship. (Peter Schuller)
1905
1906
* Minor fixes to the User Guide. (Matthew Fuller)
1907
1908
* Reduced the evangelism in the User Guide. (Ian Clatworthy)
1909
1910
* Added Integrating with Bazaar document for developers (Martin Albisetti)
1911
1912
API BREAKS:
1913
1914
* Attempting to pull data from a ghost aware repository (e.g. knits) into a
1915
non-ghost aware repository such as weaves will now fail if there are
1916
ghosts. (Robert Collins)
1917
1918
* ``KnitVersionedFile`` no longer accepts an ``access_mode`` parameter, and
1919
now requires the ``index`` and ``access_method`` parameters to be
1920
supplied. A compatible shim has been kept in the new function
1921
``knit.make_file_knit``. (Robert Collins)
1922
1923
* Log formatters must now provide log_revision instead of show and
1924
show_merge_revno methods. The latter had been deprecated since the 0.17
1925
release. (James Westby)
1926
1927
* ``LoopbackSFTP`` is now called ``SocketAsChannelAdapter``.
1928
(Andrew Bennetts)
1929
1930
* ``osutils.backup_file`` is removed. (Alexander Belchenko)
1931
1932
* ``Repository.get_revision_graph`` is deprecated, with no replacement
1933
method. The method was size(history) and not desirable. (Robert Collins)
1934
1935
* ``revision.revision_graph`` is deprecated, with no replacement function.
1936
The function was size(history) and not desirable. (Robert Collins)
1937
1938
* ``Transport.get_shared_medium`` is deprecated. Use
1939
``Transport.get_smart_medium`` instead. (Andrew Bennetts)
1940
1941
* ``VersionedFile`` factories now accept a get_scope parameter rather
1942
than using a call to ``transaction_finished``, allowing the removal of
1943
the fixed list of versioned files per repository. (Robert Collins)
1944
1945
* ``VersionedFile.annotate_iter`` is deprecated. While in principle this
1946
allowed lower memory use, all users of annotations wanted full file
1947
annotations, and there is no storage format suitable for incremental
1948
line-by-line annotation. (Robert Collins)
1949
1950
* ``VersionedFile.clone_text`` is deprecated. This performance optimisation
1951
is no longer used - reading the content of a file that is undergoing a
1952
file level merge to identical state on two branches is rare enough, and
1953
not expensive enough to special case. (Robert Collins)
1954
1955
* ``VersionedFile.clear_cache`` and ``enable_cache`` are deprecated.
1956
These methods added significant complexity to the ``VersionedFile``
1957
implementation, but were only used for optimising fetches from knits -
1958
which can be done from outside the knit layer, or via a caching
1959
decorator. As knits are not the default format, the complexity is no
1960
longer worth paying. (Robert Collins)
1961
1962
* ``VersionedFile.create_empty`` is removed. This method presupposed a
1963
sensible mapping to a transport for individual files, but pack backed
1964
versioned files have no such mapping. (Robert Collins)
1965
1966
* ``VersionedFile.get_graph`` is deprecated, with no replacement method.
1967
The method was size(history) and not desirable. (Robert Collins)
1968
1969
* ``VersionedFile.get_graph_with_ghosts`` is deprecated, with no
1970
replacement method. The method was size(history) and not desirable.
1971
(Robert Collins)
1972
1973
* ``VersionedFile.get_parents`` is deprecated, please use
1974
``VersionedFile.get_parent_map``. (Robert Collins)
1975
1976
* ``VersionedFile.get_sha1`` is deprecated, please use
1977
``VersionedFile.get_sha1s``. (Robert Collins)
1978
1979
* ``VersionedFile.has_ghost`` is now deprecated, as it is both expensive
1980
and unused outside of a single test. (Robert Collins)
1981
1982
* ``VersionedFile.iter_parents`` is now deprecated in favour of
1983
``get_parent_map`` which can be used to instantiate a Graph on a
1984
VersionedFile. (Robert Collins)
1985
1986
* ``VersionedFileStore`` no longer uses the transaction parameter given
1987
to most methods; amongst other things this means that the
1988
get_weave_or_empty method no longer guarantees errors on a missing weave
1989
in a readonly transaction, and no longer caches versioned file instances
1990
which reduces memory pressure (but requires more careful management by
1991
callers to preserve performance). (Robert Collins)
1992
1993
TESTING:
1994
1995
* New -Dselftest_debug flag disables clearing of the debug flags during
1996
tests. This is useful if you want to use e.g. -Dhpss to help debug a
1997
failing test. Be aware that using this feature is likely to cause
1998
spurious test failures if used with the full suite. (Andrew Bennetts)
1999
2000
* selftest --load-list now uses a new more agressive test loader that will
2001
avoid loading unneeded modules and building their tests. Plugins can use
2002
this new loader by defining a load_tests function instead of a test_suite
2003
function. (a forthcoming patch will provide many examples on how to
2004
implement this).
2005
(Vincent Ladeuil)
2006
2007
* selftest --load-list now does some sanity checks regarding duplicate test
2008
IDs and tests present in the list but not found in the actual test suite.
2009
(Vincent Ladeuil)
2010
2011
* Slightly more concise format for the selftest progress bar, so there's
2012
more space to show the test name. (Martin Pool) ::

2014
[2500/10884, 1fail, 3miss in 1m29s] test_revisionnamespaces.TestRev
2015
2016
* The test suite takes much less memory to run, and is a bit faster. This
2017
is done by clearing most attributes of TestCases after running them, if
2018
they succeeded. (Andrew Bennetts)
2019
2020
INTERNALS:
2021
2022
* Added ``_build_client_protocol`` to ``_SmartClient``. (Andrew Bennetts)
2023
2024
* Added basic infrastructure for automatic plugin suggestion.
2025
(Martin Albisetti)
2026
2027
* If a ``LockableFiles`` object is not explicitly unlocked (for example
2028
because of a missing ``try/finally`` block, it will give a warning but
2029
not automatically unlock itself. (Previously they did.) This
2030
sometimes caused knock-on errors if for example the network connection
2031
had already failed, and should not be relied upon by code.
2032
(Martin Pool, #109520)
2033
2034
* ``make dist`` target to build a release tarball, and also
2035
``check-dist-tarball`` and ``dist-upload-escudero``. (Martin Pool)
2036
2037
* The ``read_response_tuple`` method of ``SmartClientRequestProtocol*``
2038
classes will now raise ``UnknownSmartMethod`` when appropriate, so that
2039
callers don't need to try distinguish unknown request errors from other
2040
errors. (Andrew Bennetts)
2041
2042
* ``set_make_working_trees`` is now implemented provided on all repository
2043
implementations (Aaron Bentley)
2044
2045
* ``VersionedFile`` now has a new method ``get_parent_map`` which, like
2046
``Graph.get_parent_map`` returns a dict of key:parents. (Robert Collins)

------------------
2068
2069
Bazaar has become part of the GNU project <http://www.gnu.org>
2070
2071
Many operations that act on history, including ``log`` and ``annotate`` are now
2072
substantially faster. Several bugs have been fixed and several new options and
2073
features have been added.
2074
2075
TESTING:
2076
2077

NOTES WHEN UPGRADING:
2086
2087
* The backup directory created by ``upgrade`` is now called
2088
``backup.bzr``, not ``.bzr.backup``. (Martin Albisetti)
2089
2090
CHANGES:
2091
2092
* A new repository format 'development' has been added. This format will
2093
represent the latest 'in-progress' format that the bzr developers are
2094
interested in getting early-adopter testing and feedback on.
2095
``doc/developers/development-repo.txt`` has detailed information.
2096
(Robert Collins)
2097
2098
* BZR_LOG environment variable controls location of .bzr.log trace file.
2099
User can suppress writing messages to .bzr.log by using '/dev/null'
2100
filename (on Linux) or 'NUL' (on Windows). If BZR_LOG variable
2101
is not defined but BZR_HOME is defined then default location
2102
for .bzr.log trace file is ``$BZR_HOME/.bzr.log``.
2103
(Alexander Belchenko)
2104
2105
* ``launchpad`` builtin plugin now shipped as separate part in standalone
2106
bzr.exe, installed to ``C:\Program Files\Bazaar\plugins`` directory,
2107
and standalone installer allows user to skip installation of this plugin.
2108
(Alexander Belchenko)
2109
2110
* Restore auto-detection of plink.exe on Windows. (Dmitry Vasiliev)
2111
2112
* Version number is now shown as "1.2" or "1.2pr2", without zeroed or
2113
missing final fields. (Martin Pool)
2114
2115
FEATURES:
2116
2117
* ``branch`` and ``checkout`` can hard-link working tree files, which is
2118
faster and saves space. (Aaron Bentley)
2119
2120
* ``bzr send`` will now also look at the ``child_submit_to`` setting in
2121
the submit branch to determine the email address to send to.
2122
(Jelmer Vernooij)
2123
2124
IMPROVEMENTS:
2125
2126
* BzrBranch._lefthand_history is faster on pack repos. (Aaron Bentley)
2127
2128
* Branch6.generate_revision_history is faster. (Aaron Bentley)
2129
2130
* Directory services can now be registered, allowing special URLs to be
2131
dereferenced into real URLs. This is a generalization and cleanup of
2132
the lp: transport lookup. (Aaron Bentley)
2133
2134
* Merge directives that are automatically attached to emails have nicer
2135
filenames, based on branch-nick + revno. (Aaron Bentley)
2136
2137
* ``push`` has a ``--revision`` option, to specify what revision to push up
2138
to. (Daniel Watkins)
2139
2140
* Significantly reducing execution time and network traffic for trivial
2141
case of running ``bzr missing`` command for two identical branches.
2142
(Alexander Belchenko)
2143
2144
* Speed up operations that look at the revision graph (such as 'bzr log').
2145
``KnitPackRepositor.get_revision_graph`` uses ``Graph.iter_ancestry`` to
2146
extract the revision history. This allows filtering ghosts while
2147
stepping instead of needing to peek ahead. (John Arbash Meinel)
2148
2149
* The ``hooks`` command lists installed hooks, to assist in debugging.
2150
(Daniel Watkins)
2151
2152
* Updates to how ``annotate`` work. Should see a measurable improvement in
2153
performance and memory consumption for file with a lot of merges.
2154
Also, correctly handle when a line is introduced by both parents (it
2155
should be attributed to the first merge which notices this, and not
2156
to all subsequent merges.) (John Arbash Meinel)
2157
2158
BUGFIXES:
2159
2160
* Autopacking no longer holds the full set of inventory lines in
2161
memory while copying. For large repositories, this can amount to
2162
hundreds of MB of ram consumption.
2163
(Ian Clatworthy, John Arbash Meinel)
2164
2165
* Cherrypicking when using ``--format=merge3`` now explictly excludes
2166
BASE lines. (John Arbash Meinel, #151731)
2167
2168
* Disable plink's interactive prompt for password.
2169
(#107593, Dmitry Vasiliev)
2170
2171
* Encode command line arguments from unicode to user_encoding before
2172
invoking external mail client in `bzr send` command.
2173
(#139318, Alexander Belchenko)
2174
2175
* Fixed problem connecting to ``bzr+https://`` servers.
2176
(#198793, John Ferlito)
2177
2178
* Improved error reporting in the Launchpad plugin. (Daniel Watkins,
2179
#196618)
2180
2181
* Include quick-start-summary.svg file to python-based installer(s)
2182
for Windows. (#192924, Alexander Belchenko)
2183
2184
* lca merge now respects specified files. (Aaron Bentley)
2185
2186
* Make version-info --custom imply --all. (#195560, James Westby)
2187
2188
* ``merge --preview`` now works for merges that add or modify
2189
symlinks (James Henstridge)
2190
2191
* Redirecting the output from ``bzr merge`` (when the remembered
2192
location is used) now works. (John Arbash Meinel)
2193
2194
* setup.py script explicitly checks for Python version.
2195
(Jari Aalto, Alexander Belchenko, #200569)
2196
2197
* UnknownFormatErrors no longer refer to branches regardless of kind of
2198
unknown format. (Daniel Watkins, #173980)
2199
2200
* Upgrade bundled ConfigObj to version 4.5.2, which properly quotes #
2201
signs, among other small improvements. (Matt Nordhoff, #86838)
2202
2203
* Use correct indices when emitting LCA conflicts. This fixes IndexError
2204
errors. (Aaron Bentley, #196780)
2205
2206
DOCUMENTATION:
2207
2208
* Explained how to use ``version-info --custom`` in the User Guide.
2209
(Neil Martinsen-Burrell)
2210
2211
API BREAKS:
2212
2213
* Support for loading plugins from zip files and
2214
``bzrlib.plugin.load_from_zip()`` function are deprecated.
2215
(Alexander Belchenko)
2216
2217
TESTING:
2218
2219
* Added missing blackbox tests for ``modified`` (Adrian Wilkins)
2220
2221
* The branch interface tests were invalid for branches using rich-root
2222
repositories because the empty string is not a valid file-id.
2223
(Robert Collins)
2224
2225
INTERNALS:
2226
2227
* ``Graph.iter_ancestry`` returns the ancestry of revision ids. Similar to
2228
``Repository.get_revision_graph()`` except it includes ghosts and you can
2229
stop part-way through. (John Arbash Meinel)
2230
2231
* New module ``tools/package_mf.py`` provide custom module finder for
2232
python packages (improves standard python library's modulefinder.py)
2233
used by ``setup.py`` script while building standalone bzr.exe.
2234
(Alexander Belchenko)
2235
2236
* New remote method ``RemoteBzrDir.find_repositoryV2`` adding support for
2237
detecting external lookup support on remote repositories. This method is
2238
now attempted first when lookup up repositories, leading to an extra
2239
round trip on older bzr smart servers. (Robert Collins)
2240
2241
* Repository formats have a new supported-feature attribute
2242
``supports_external_lookups`` used to indicate repositories which support
2243
falling back to other repositories when they have partial data.
2244
(Robert Collins)
2245
2246
* ``Repository.get_revision_graph_with_ghosts`` and
2247
``bzrlib.revision.(common_ancestor,MultipleRevisionSources,common_graph)``
2248
have been deprecated. (John Arbash Meinel)
2249
2250
* ``Tree.iter_changes`` is now a public API, replacing the work-in-progress
2251
``Tree._iter_changes``. The api is now considered stable and ready for
2252
external users. (Aaron Bentley)
2253
2254
* The bzrdir format registry now accepts an ``alias`` keyword to
2255
register_metadir, used to indicate that a format name is an alias for
2256
some other format and thus should not be reported when describing the
2257
format. (Robert Collins)

NOTES WHEN UPGRADING:
2272
2273
* Fetching via the smart protocol may need to reconnect once during a fetch
2274
if the remote server is running Bazaar 1.1 or earlier, because the client
2275
attempts to use more efficient requests that confuse older servers. You
2276
may be required to re-enter a password or passphrase when this happens.
2277
This won't happen if the server is upgraded to Bazaar 1.2.
2278
(Andrew Bennetts)
2279
2280
CHANGES:
2281
2282
* Fetching via bzr+ssh will no longer fill ghosts by default (this is
2283
consistent with pack-0.92 fetching over SFTP). (Robert Collins)
2284
2285
* Formatting of ``bzr plugins`` output is changed to be more human-
2286
friendly. Full path of plugins locations will be shown only with
2287
``--verbose`` command-line option. (Alexander Belchenko)
2288
2289
* ``merge`` now prefers to use the submit branch, but will fall back to
2290
parent branch. For many users, this has no effect. But some users who
2291
pull and merge on the same branch will notice a change. This change
2292
makes it easier to work on a branch on two different machines, pulling
2293
between the machines, while merging from the upstream.
2294
``merge --remember`` can now be used to set the submit_branch.
2295
(Aaron Bentley)
2296
2297
FEATURES:
2298
2299
* ``merge --preview`` produces a diff of the changes merge would make,
2300
but does not actually perform the merge. (Aaron Bentley)
2301
2302
* New smart method ``Repository.get_parent_map`` for getting revision
2303
parent data. This returns additional parent information topologically
2304
adjacent to the requested data to reduce round trip latency impacts.
2305
(Robert Collins)
2306
2307
* New smart method, ``Repository.stream_revisions_chunked``, for fetching
2308
revision data that streams revision data via a chunked encoding. This
2309
avoids buffering large amounts of revision data on the server and on the
2310
client, and sends less data to the server to request the revisions.
2311
(Andrew Bennetts, Robert Collins, #178353)
2312
2313
* The launchpad plugin now handles lp urls of the form
2314
``lp://staging/``, ``lp://demo/``, ``lp://dev/`` to use the appropriate
2315
launchpad instance to do the resolution of the branch identities.
2316
This is primarily of use to Launchpad developers, but can also
2317
be used by other users who want to try out Launchpad as
2318
a branch location without messing up their public Launchpad
2319
account. Branches that are pushed to the staging environment
2320
have an expected lifetime of one day. (Tim Penhey)

IMPROVEMENTS:
2323
2324
* Creating a new branch no longer tries to read the entire revision-history
2325
unnecessarily over smart server operations. (Robert Collins)
2326
2327
* Fetching between different repository formats with compatible models now
2328
takes advantage of the smart method to stream revisions. (Andrew Bennetts)
2329
2330
* The ``--coverage`` option is now global, rather specific to ``bzr
2331
selftest``. (Andrew Bennetts)
2332
2333
* The ``register-branch`` command will now use the public url of the branch
2334
containing the current directory, if one has been set and no explicit
2335
branch is provided. (Robert Collins)
2336
2337
* Tweak the ``reannotate`` code path to optimize the 2-parent case.
2338
Speeds up ``bzr annotate`` with a pack repository by approx 3:2.

2341
BUGFIXES:
2342
2343
* Calculate remote path relative to the shared medium in _SmartClient. This
2344
is related to the problem in bug #124089. (Andrew Bennetts)
2345
2346
* Cleanly handle connection errors in smart protocol version two, the same
2347
way as they are handled by version one. (Andrew Bennetts)
2348
2349
* Clearer error when ``version-info --custom`` is used without
2350
``--template`` (Lukáš Lalinský)
2351
2352
* Don't raise UnavailableFeature during test setup when medusa is not
2353
available or tearDown is never called leading to nasty side effects.
2354
(#137823, Vincent Ladeuil)
2355
2356
* If a plugin's test suite cannot be loaded, for example because of a syntax
2357
error in the tests, then ``selftest`` fails, rather than just printing
2358
a warning. (Martin Pool, #189771)
2359
2360
* List possible values for BZR_SSH environment variable in env-variables
2361
help topic. (Alexander Belchenko, #181842)
2362
2363
* New methods ``push_log_file`` and ``pop_log_file`` to intercept messages:
2364
popping the log redirection now precisely restores the previous state,
2365
which makes it easier to use bzr log output from other programs.
2366
TestCaseInTempDir no longer depends on a log redirection being established
2367
by the test framework, which lets bzr tests cleanly run from a normal
2368
unittest runner.
2369
(#124153, #124849, Martin Pool, Jonathan Lange)
2370
2371
* ``pull --quiet`` is now more quiet, in particular a message is no longer
2372
printed when the remembered pull location is used. (James Westby,
2373
#185907)
2374
2375
* ``reconfigure`` can safely be interrupted while fetching.
2376
(Aaron Bentley, #179316)
2377
2378
* ``reconfigure`` preserves tags when converting to and from lightweight
2379
checkouts. (Aaron Bentley, #182040)
2380
2381
* Stop polluting /tmp when running selftest.
2382
(Vincent Ladeuil, #123623)
2383
2384
* Switch from NFKC => NFC for normalization checks. NFC allows a few
2385
more characters which should be considered valid.
2386
(John Arbash Meinel, #185458)
2387
2388
* The launchpad plugin now uses the ``edge`` xmlrpc server to avoid
2389
interacting badly with a bug on the launchpad side. (Robert Collins)
2390
2391
* Unknown hostnames when connecting to a ``bzr://`` URL no longer cause
2392
tracebacks. (Andrew Bennetts, #182849)
2393
2394
API BREAKS:
2395
2396
* Classes implementing Merge types like Merge3Merger must now accept (and
2397
honour) a do_merge flag in their constructor. (Aaron Bentley)
2398
2399
* ``Repository.add_inventory`` and ``add_revision`` now require the caller
2400
to previously take a write lock (and start a write group.)
2401
(Martin Pool)
2402
2403
TESTING:
2404
2405
* selftest now accepts --load-list <file> to load a test id list. This
2406
speeds up running the test suite on a limited set of tests.
2407
(Vincent Ladeuil)
2408
2409
INTERNALS:
2410
2411
* Add a new method ``get_result`` to graph search objects. The resulting
2412
``SearchResult`` can be used to recreate the search later, which will
2413
be useful in reducing network traffic. (Robert Collins)
2414
2415
* Use convenience function to check whether two repository handles
2416
are referring to the same repository in ``Repository.get_graph``.
2417
(Jelmer Vernooij, #187162)
2418
2419
* Fetching now passes the find_ghosts flag through to the
2420
``InterRepository.missing_revision_ids`` call consistently for all
2421
repository types. This will enable faster missing revision discovery with
2422
bzr+ssh. (Robert Collins)
2423
2424
* Fix error handling in Repository.insert_data_stream. (Lukas Lalinsky)
2425
2426
* ``InterRepository.missing_revision_ids`` is now deprecated in favour of
2427
``InterRepository.search_missing_revision_ids`` which returns a
2428
``bzrlib.graph.SearchResult`` suitable for making requests from the smart
2429
server. (Robert Collins)
2430
2431
* New error ``NoPublicBranch`` for commands that need a public branch to
2432
operate. (Robert Collins)
2433
2434
* New method ``iter_inventories`` on Repository for access to many
2435
inventories. This is primarily used by the ``revision_trees`` method, as
2436
direct access to inventories is discouraged. (Robert Collins)
2437
2438
* New method ``next_with_ghosts`` on the Graph breadth-first-search objects
2439
which will split out ghosts and present parents into two separate sets,
2440
useful for code which needs to be aware of ghosts (e.g. fetching data
2441
cares about ghosts during revision selection). (Robert Collins)
2442
2443
* Record a timestamp against each mutter to the trace file, relative to the
2444
first import of bzrlib. (Andrew Bennetts)
2445
2446
* ``Repository.get_data_stream`` is now deprecated in favour of
2447
``Repository.get_data_stream_for_search`` which allows less network
2448
traffic when requesting data streams over a smart server. (Robert Collins)
2449
2450
* ``RemoteBzrDir._get_tree_branch`` no longer triggers ``_ensure_real``,
2451
removing one round trip on many network operations. (Robert Collins)
2452
2453
* RemoteTransport's ``recommended_page_size`` method now returns 64k, like
2454
SFTPTransport and HttpTransportBase. (Andrew Bennetts)
2455
2456
* Repository has a new method ``has_revisions`` which signals the presence
2457
of many revisions by returning a set of the revisions listed which are
2458
present. This can be done by index queries without reading data for parent
2459
revision names etc. (Robert Collins)

2468
---------------------
2469
2470
CHANGES:
2471
2472
* Dotted revision numbers have been revised. Instead of growing longer with
2473
nested branches the branch number just increases. (eg instead of 1.1.1.1.1
2474
we now report 1.2.1.) This helps scale long lived branches which have many
2475
feature branches merged between them. (John Arbash Meinel)
2476
2477
* The syntax ``bzr diff branch1 branch2`` is no longer supported.
2478
Use ``bzr diff branch1 --new branch2`` instead. This change has
2479
been made to remove the ambiguity where ``branch2`` is in fact a
2480
specific file to diff within ``branch1``.
2481
2482
FEATURES:
2483
2484
* New option to use custom template-based formats in ``bzr version-info``.
2485
(Lukáš Lalinský)
2486
2487
* diff '--using' allows an external diff tool to be used for files.
2488
(Aaron Bentley)
2489
2490
* New "lca" merge-type for fast everyday merging that also supports
2491
criss-cross merges. (Aaron Bentley)
2492
2493
IMPROVEMENTS:
2494
2495
* ``annotate`` now doesn't require a working tree. (Lukáš Lalinský,
2496
#90049)
2497
2498
* ``branch`` and ``checkout`` can now use files from a working tree to
2499
to speed up the process. For checkout, this requires the new
2500
--files-from flag. (Aaron Bentley)
2501
2502
* ``bzr diff`` now sorts files in alphabetical order. (Aaron Bentley)
2503
2504
* ``bzr diff`` now works on branches without working trees. Tree-less
2505
branches can also be compared to each other and to working trees using
2506
the new diff options ``--old`` and ``--new``. Diffing between branches,
2507
with or without trees, now supports specific file filtering as well.
2508
(Ian Clatworthy, #6700)
2509
2510
* ``bzr pack`` now orders revision texts in topological order, with newest
2511
at the start of the file, promoting linear reads for ``bzr log`` and the
2512
like. This partially fixes #154129. (Robert Collins)
2513
2514
* Merge directives now fetch prerequisites from the target branch if
2515
needed. (Aaron Bentley)
2516
2517
* pycurl now handles digest authentication.
2518
(Vincent Ladeuil)
2519
2520
* ``reconfigure`` can now convert from repositories. (Aaron Bentley)
2521
2522
* ``-l`` is now a short form for ``--limit`` in ``log``. (Matt Nordhoff)
2523
2524
* ``merge`` now warns when merge directives cause cherrypicks.
2525
(Aaron Bentley)
2526
2527
* ``split`` now supported, to enable splitting large trees into smaller
2528
pieces. (Aaron Bentley)
2529
2530
BUGFIXES:
2531
2532
* Avoid AttributeError when unlocking a pack repository when an error occurs.
2533
(Martin Pool, #180208)
2534
2535
* Better handle short reads when processing multiple range requests.
2536
(Vincent Ladeuil, #179368)
2537
2538
* build_tree acceleration uses the correct path when a file has been moved.
2539
(Aaron Bentley)
2540
2541
* ``commit`` now succeeds when a checkout and its master branch share a
2542
repository. (Aaron Bentley, #177592)
2543
2544
* Fixed error reporting of unsupported timezone format in
2545
``log --timezone``. (Lukáš Lalinský, #178722)
2546
2547
* Fixed Unicode encoding error in ``ignored`` when the output is
2548
redirected to a pipe. (Lukáš Lalinský)
2549
2550
* Fix traceback when sending large response bodies over the smart protocol
2551
on Windows. (Andrew Bennetts, #115781)
2552
2553
* Fix ``urlutils.relative_url`` for the case of two ``file:///`` URLs
2554
pointed to different logical drives on Windows.
2555
(Alexander Belchenko, #90847)
2556
2557
* HTTP test servers are now compatible with the http protocol version 1.1.
2558
(Vincent Ladeuil, #175524)
2559
2560
* _KnitParentsProvider.get_parent_map now handles requests for ghosts
2561
correctly, instead of erroring or attributing incorrect parents to ghosts.
2562
(Aaron Bentley)
2563
2564
* ``merge --weave --uncommitted`` now works. (Aaron Bentley)
2565
2566
* pycurl authentication handling was broken and incomplete. Fix handling of
2567
user:pass embedded in the urls.
2568
(Vincent Ladeuil, #177643)
2569
2570
* Files inside non-directories are now handled like other conflict types.
2571
(Aaron Bentley, #177390)
2572
2573
* ``reconfigure`` is able to convert trees into lightweight checkouts.
2574
(Aaron Bentley)
2575
2576
* Reduce lockdir timeout to 0 when running ``bzr serve``. (Andrew Bennetts,
2577
#148087)
2578
2579
* Test that the old ``version_info_format`` functions still work, even
2580
though they are deprecated. (John Arbash Meinel, ShenMaq, #177872)
2581
2582
* Transform failures no longer cause ImmortalLimbo errors (Aaron Bentley,
2583
#137681)
2584
2585
* ``uncommit`` works even when the commit messages of revisions to be
2586
removed use characters not supported in the terminal encoding.
2587
(Aaron Bentley)
2588
2589
* When dumb http servers return whole files instead of the requested ranges,
2590
read the remaining bytes by chunks to avoid overflowing network buffers.
2591
(Vincent Ladeuil, #175886)
2592
2593
DOCUMENTATION:
2594
2595
* Minor tweaks made to the bug tracker integration documentation.
2596
(Ian Clatworthy)
2597
2598
* Reference material has now be moved out of the User Guide and added
2599
to the User Reference. The User Reference has gained 4 sections as
2600
a result: Authenication Settings, Configuration Settings, Conflicts
2601
and Hooks. All help topics are now dumped into text format in the
2602
doc/en/user-reference directory for those who like browsing that
2603
information in their editor. (Ian Clatworthy)
2604
2605
* *Using Bazaar with Launchpad* tutorial added. (Ian Clatworthy)
2606
2607
INTERNALS:
2608
2609
* find_* methods available for BzrDirs, Branches and WorkingTrees.

2612
* Help topics can now be loaded from files.
2613
(Ian Clatworthy, Alexander Belchenko)
2614
2615
* get_parent_map now always provides tuples as its output. (Aaron Bentley)
2616
2617
* Parent Providers should now implement ``get_parent_map`` returning a
2618
dictionary instead of ``get_parents`` returning a list.
2619
``Graph.get_parents`` is now deprecated. (John Arbash Meinel,
2620
Robert Collins)
2621
2622
* Patience Diff now supports arbitrary python objects, as long as they
2623
support ``hash()``. (John Arbash Meinel)
2624
2625
* Reduce selftest overhead to establish test names by memoization.
2626
(Vincent Ladeuil)
2627
2628
API BREAKS:

2630
TESTING:

2632
* Modules can now customise their tests by defining a ``load_tests``
2633
attribute. ``pydoc bzrlib.tests.TestUtil.TestLoader.loadTestsFromModule``
2634
for the documentation on this attribute. (Robert Collins)
2635
2636
* New helper function ``bzrlib.tests.condition_id_re`` which helps
2637
filter tests based on a regular expression search on the tests id.
2638
(Robert Collins)
2639
2640
* New helper function ``bzrlib.tests.condition_isinstance`` which helps
2641
filter tests based on class. (Robert Collins)
2642
2643
* New helper function ``bzrlib.tests.exclude_suite_by_condition`` which
2644
generalises the ``exclude_suite_by_re`` function. (Robert Collins)
2645
2646
* New helper function ``bzrlib.tests.filter_suite_by_condition`` which
2647
generalises the ``filter_suite_by_re`` function. (Robert Collins)
2648
2649
* New helper method ``bzrlib.tests.exclude_tests_by_re`` which gives a new
2650
TestSuite that does not contain tests from the input that matched a
2651
regular expression. (Robert Collins)
2652
2653
* New helper method ``bzrlib.tests.randomize_suite`` which returns a
2654
randomized copy of the input suite. (Robert Collins)
2655
2656
* New helper method ``bzrlib.tests.split_suite_by_re`` which splits a test
2657
suite into two according to a regular expression. (Robert Collins)
2658
2659
* Parametrize all http tests for the transport implementations, the http
2660
protocol versions (1.0 and 1.1) and the authentication schemes.
2661
(Vincent Ladeuil)
2662
2663
* The ``exclude_pattern`` and ``random_order`` parameters to the function
2664
``bzrlib.tests.filter_suite_by_re`` have been deprecated. (Robert Collins)
2665
2666
* The method ``bzrlib.tests.sort_suite_by_re`` has been deprecated. It is
2667
replaced by the new helper methods added in this release. (Robert Collins)

BUGFIXES:
2698
2699
* Fix Makefile rules for doc generation. (Ian Clatworthy, #175207)
2700
2701
* Give more feedback during long http downloads by making readv deliver data
2702
as it arrives for urllib, and issue more requests for pycurl. High latency
2703
networks are better handled by urllib, the pycurl implementation give more
2704
feedback but also incur more latency.
2705
(Vincent Ladeuil, #173010)
2706

* ``bzr commit`` now doesn't print the revision number twice. (Matt
2736
Nordhoff, #172612)
2737
2738
* New configuration option ``bugtracker_<tracker_abbrevation>_url`` to
2739
define locations of bug trackers that are not directly supported by
2740
bzr or a plugin. The URL will be treated as a template and ``{id}``
2741
placeholders will be replaced by specific bug IDs. (Lukáš Lalinský)
2742
2743
* Support logging single merge revisions with short and line log formatters.
2744

2746
* User Guide enhanced with suggested readability improvements from
2747
Matt Revell and corrections from John Arbash Meinel. (Ian Clatworthy)
2748
2749
* Quick Start Guide renamed to Quick Start Card, moved down in
2750
the catalog, provided in pdf and png format and updated to refer
2751
to ``send`` instead of ``bundle``. (Ian Clatworthy, #165080)
2752
2753
* ``switch`` can now be used on heavyweight checkouts as well as
2754
lightweight ones. After switching a heavyweight checkout, the
2755
local branch is a mirror/cache of the new bound branch and
2756
uncommitted changes in the working tree are merged. As a safety
2757
check, if there are local commits in a checkout which have not
2758
been committed to the previously bound branch, then ``switch``
2759
fails unless the ``--force`` option is given. This option is
2760
now also required if the branch a lightweight checkout is pointing
2761
to has been moved. (Ian Clatworthy)

filename to user.
2777
(Alexander Belchenko, #111758)
2778
2779
* Catch ShortReadvErrors while using pycurl. Also make readv more robust by
2780
allowing multiple GET requests to be issued if too many ranges are
2781
required.

default is used when creating new repositories with ``init`` and
2803
``init-repo``, and when branching over bzr+ssh or bzr+hpss.
2804
(See https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/164626)
2805
2806
This format can be read and written by Bazaar 0.92 and later, and
2807
data can be transferred to and from older formats.
2808
2809
To upgrade, please reconcile your repository (``bzr reconcile``), and then
2810
upgrade (``bzr upgrade``).
2811
2812
``pack-0.92`` offers substantially better scaling and performance than the
2813
previous knits format. Some operations are slower where the code already
2814
had bad scaling characteristics under knits, the pack format makes such
2815
operations more visible as part of being more scalable overall. We will
2816
correct such operations over the coming releases and encourage the filing
2817
of bugs on any operation which you observe to be slower in a packs
2818
repository. One particular case that we do not intend to fix is pulling
2819
data from a pack repository into a knit repository over a high latency
2820
link; downgrading such data requires reinsertion of the file texts, and
2821
this is a classic space/time tradeoff. The current implementation is
2822
conservative on memory usage because we need to support converting data
2823
from any tree without problems.

CHANGES:
2827
2828
* Disable detection of plink.exe as possible ssh vendor. Plink vendor
2829
still available if user selects it explicitly with BZR_SSH environment
2830
variable. (Alexander Belchenko, workaround for bug #107593)
2831
2832
* The pack format is now accessible as "pack-0.92", or "pack-0.92-subtree"
2833
to enable the subtree functions (for example, for bzr-svn).
2834
See http://doc.bazaar-vcs.org/latest/developer/packrepo.html
2835
(Martin Pool)
2836
2837
FEATURES:
2838
2839
* New ``authentication.conf`` file holding the password or other credentials
2840
for remote servers. This can be used for ssh, sftp, smtp and other
2841
supported transports.
2842
(Vincent Ladeuil)
2843
2844
* New rich-root and rich-root-pack formats, recording the same data about
2845
tree roots that's recorded for all other directories.
2846
(Aaron Bentley, #164639)
2847
2848
* ``pack-0.92`` repositories can now be reconciled.
2849
(Robert Collins, #154173)
2850
2851
* ``switch`` command added for changing the branch a lightweight checkout
2852
is associated with and updating the tree to reflect the latest content
2853
accordingly. This command was previously part of the BzrTools plug-in.
2854
(Ian Clatworthy, Aaron Bentley, David Allouche)
2855
2856
* ``reconfigure`` command can now convert branches, trees, or checkouts to
2857
lightweight checkouts. (Aaron Bentley)
2858
2859
PERFORMANCE:
2860
2861
* Commit updates the state of the working tree via a delta rather than
2862
supplying entirely new basis trees. For commit of a single specified file
2863
this reduces the wall clock time for commit by roughly a 30%.
2864
(Robert Collins, Martin Pool)
2865
2866
* Commit with many automatically found deleted paths no longer performs
2867
linear scanning for the children of those paths during inventory
2868
iteration. This should fix commit performance blowing out when many such
2869
paths occur during commit. (Robert Collins, #156491)
2870
2871
* Fetch with pack repositories will no longer read the entire history graph.
2872
(Robert Collins, #88319)
2873
2874
* Revert takes out an appropriate lock when reverting to a basis tree, and
2875
does not read the basis inventory twice. (Robert Collins)
2876
2877
* Diff does not require an inventory to be generated on dirstate trees.
2878
(Aaron Bentley, #149254)
2879
2880
* New annotate merge (--merge-type=weave) implementation is fast on
2881
versionedfiles withough cached annotations, e.g. pack-0.92.
2882
(Aaron Bentley)
2883
2884
IMPROVEMENTS:
2885
2886
* ``bzr merge`` now warns when it encounters a criss-cross merge.
2887
(Aaron Bentley)
2888
2889
* ``bzr send`` now doesn't require the target e-mail address to be
2890
specified on the command line if an interactive e-mail client is used.
2891
(Lukáš Lalinský)
2892
2893
* ``bzr tags`` now prints the revision number for each tag, instead of
2894
the revision id, unless --show-ids is passed. In addition, tags can be
2895
sorted chronologically instead of lexicographically with --sort=time.
2896
(Adeodato Simó, #120231)
2897
2898
* Windows standalone version of bzr is able to load system-wide plugins from
2899
"plugins" subdirectory in installation directory. In addition standalone
2900
installer write to the registry (HKLM\SOFTWARE\Bazaar) useful info
2901
about paths and bzr version. (Alexander Belchenko, #129298)

* A progress bar has been added for knitpack -> knitpack fetching.
2908
(Robert Collins, #157789, #159147)
2909
2910
* Branching from a branch via smart server now preserves the repository
2911
format. (Andrew Bennetts, #164626)
2912
2913
* ``commit`` is now able to invoke an external editor in a non-ascii
2914
directory. (Daniel Watkins, #84043)
2915
2916
* Catch connection errors for ftp.
2917
(Vincent Ladeuil, #164567)
2918
2919
* ``check`` no longer reports spurious unreferenced text versions.
2920
(Robert Collins, John A Meinel, #162931, #165071)
2921
2922
* Conflicts are now resolved recursively by ``revert``.
2923
(Aaron Bentley, #102739)
2924
2925
* Detect invalid transport reuse attempts by catching invalid URLs.
2926
(Vincent Ladeuil, #161819)
2927
2928
* Deleting a file without removing it shows a correct diff, not a traceback.
2929
(Aaron Bentley)
2930
2931
* Do no use timeout in HttpServer anymore.
2932
(Vincent Ladeuil, #158972).
2933
2934
* Don't catch the exceptions related to the http pipeline status before
2935
retrying an http request or some programming errors may be masked.
2936
(Vincent Ladeuil, #160012)
2937
2938
* Fix ``bzr rm`` to not delete modified and ignored files.
2939
(Lukáš Lalinský, #172598)
2940
2941
* Fix exception when revisionspec contains merge revisons but log
2942
formatter doesn't support merge revisions. (Kent Gibson, #148908)
2943
2944
* Fix exception when ScopeReplacer is assigned to before any members have
2945
been retrieved. (Aaron Bentley)
2946
2947
* Fix multiple connections during checkout --lightweight.
2948
(Vincent Ladeuil, #159150)
2949
2950
* Fix possible error in insert_data_stream when copying between
2951
pack repositories over bzr+ssh or bzr+http.
2952
KnitVersionedFile.get_data_stream now makes sure that requested
2953
compression parents are sent before any delta hunks that depend
2954
on them.
2955
(Martin Pool, #164637)
2956
2957
* Fix typo in limiting offsets coalescing for http, leading to
2958
whole files being downloaded instead of parts.
2959
(Vincent Ladeuil, #165061)
2960
2961
* FTP server errors don't error in the error handling code.
2962
(Robert Collins, #161240)
2963
2964
* Give a clearer message when a pull fails because the source needs
2965
to be reconciled.
2966
(Martin Pool, #164443)
2967
2968
* It is clearer when a plugin cannot be loaded because of its name, and a
2969
suggestion for an acceptable name is given. (Daniel Watkins, #103023)
2970
2971
* Leave port as None in transport objects if user doesn't
2972
specify a port in urls.
2973
(vincent Ladeuil, #150860)
2974
2975
* Make sure Repository.fetch(self) is properly a no-op for all
2976
Repository implementations. (John Arbash Meinel, #158333)
2977
2978
* Mark .bzr directories as "hidden" on Windows.
2979
(Alexander Belchenko, #71147)
2980
2981
* ``merge --uncommitted`` can now operate on a single file.
2982
(Aaron Bentley, Lukáš Lalinský, #136890)
2983
2984
* Obsolete packs are now cleaned up by pack and autopack operations.
2985
(Robert Collins, #153789)
2986
2987
* Operations pulling data from a smart server where the underlying
2988
repositories are not both annotated/both unannotated will now work.
2989
(Robert Collins, #165304).
2990
2991
* Reconcile now shows progress bars. (Robert Collins, #159351)
2992
2993
* ``RemoteBranch`` was not initializing ``self._revision_id_to_revno_map``
2994
properly. (John Arbash Meinel, #162486)
2995
2996
* Removing an already-removed file reports the file does not exist. (Daniel
2997
Watkins, #152811)
2998
2999
* Rename on Windows is able to change filename case.
3000
(Alexander Belchenko, #77740)
3001
3002
* Return error instead of a traceback for ``bzr log -r0``.
3003
(Kent Gibson, #133751)
3004
3005
* Return error instead of a traceback when bzr is unable to create
3006
symlink on some platforms (e.g. on Windows).
3007
(Alexander Belchenko, workaround for #81689)
3008
3009
* Revert doesn't crash when restoring a single file from a deleted
3010
directory. (Aaron Bentley)
3011
3012
* Stderr output via logging mechanism now goes through encoded wrapper
3013
and no more uses utf-8, but terminal encoding instead. So all unicode
3014
strings now should be readable in non-utf-8 terminal.
3015
(Alexander Belchenko, #54173)
3016
3017
* The error message when ``move --after`` should be used makes how to do so
3018
clearer. (Daniel Watkins, #85237)
3019
3020
* Unicode-safe output from ``bzr info``. The output will be encoded
3021
using the terminal encoding and unrepresentable characters will be
3022
replaced by '?'. (Lukáš Lalinský, #151844)
3023
3024
* Working trees are no longer created when pushing into a local no-trees
3025
repo. (Daniel Watkins, #50582)
3026
3027
* Upgrade util/configobj to version 4.4.0.
3028
(Vincent Ladeuil, #151208).
3029
3030
* Wrap medusa ftp test server as an FTPServer feature.
3031
(Vincent Ladeuil, #157752)
3032
3033
API BREAKS:
3034
3035
* ``osutils.backup_file`` is deprecated. Actually it's not used in bzrlib
3036
during very long time. (Alexander Belchenko)
3037
3038
* The return value of
3039
``VersionedFile.iter_lines_added_or_present_in_versions`` has been
3040
changed. Previously it was an iterator of lines, now it is an iterator of
3041
(line, version_id) tuples. This change has been made to aid reconcile and
3042
fetch operations. (Robert Collins)
3043
3044
* ``bzrlib.repository.get_versioned_file_checker`` is now private.
3045
(Robert Collins)
3046
3047
* The Repository format registry default has been removed; it was previously
3048
obsoleted by the bzrdir format default, which implies a default repository
3049
format.
3050
(Martin Pool)
3051
3052
INTERNALS:
3053
3054
* Added ``ContainerSerialiser`` and ``ContainerPushParser`` to
3055
``bzrlib.pack``. These classes provide more convenient APIs for generating
3056
and parsing containers from streams rather than from files. (Andrew
3057
Bennetts)
3058
3059
* New module ``lru_cache`` providing a cache for use by tasks that need
3060
semi-random access to large amounts of data. (John A Meinel)
3061
3062
* InventoryEntry.diff is now deprecated. Please use diff.DiffTree instead.

NOTES WHEN UPGRADING:
3079
3080
CHANGES:
3081
3082
* ``bzr`` now returns exit code 4 if an internal error occurred, and
3083
3 if a normal error occurred. (Martin Pool)
3084
3085
* ``pull``, ``merge`` and ``push`` will no longer silently correct some
3086
repository index errors that occured as a result of the Weave disk format.
3087
Instead the ``reconcile`` command needs to be run to correct those
3088
problems if they exist (and it has been able to fix most such problems
3089
since bzr 0.8). Some new problems have been identified during this release
3090
and you should run ``bzr check`` once on every repository to see if you
3091
need to reconcile. If you cannot ``pull`` or ``merge`` from a remote
3092
repository due to mismatched parent errors - a symptom of index errors -
3093
you should simply take a full copy of that remote repository to a clean
3094
directory outside any local repositories, then run reconcile on it, and
3095
finally pull from it locally. (And naturally email the repositories owner
3096
to ask them to upgrade and run reconcile).
3097
(Robert Collins)
3098
3099
FEATURES:
3100
3101
* New ``knitpack-experimental`` repository format. This is interoperable with
3102
the ``dirstate-tags`` format but uses a smarter storage design that greatly
3103
speeds up many operations, both local and remote. This new format can be
3104
used as an option to the ``init``, ``init-repository`` and ``upgrade``
3105
commands. See http://doc.bazaar-vcs.org/0.92/developers/knitpack.html
3106
for further details. (Robert Collins)
3107
3108
* For users of bzr-svn (and those testing the prototype subtree support) that
3109
wish to try packs, a new ``knitpack-subtree-experimental`` format has also
3110
been added. This is interoperable with the ``dirstate-subtrees`` format.
3111
(Robert Collins)
3112
3113
* New ``reconfigure`` command. (Aaron Bentley)
3114
3115
* New ``revert --forget-merges`` command, which removes the record of a pending
3116
merge without affecting the working tree contents. (Martin Pool)
3117
3118
* New ``bzr_remote_path`` configuration variable allows finer control of
3119
remote bzr locations than BZR_REMOTE_PATH environment variable.
3120
(Aaron Bentley)
3121
3122
* New ``launchpad-login`` command to tell Bazaar your Launchpad
3123
user ID. This can then be used by other functions of the
3124
Launchpad plugin. (James Henstridge)
3125
3126
PERFORMANCE:
3127
3128
* Commit in quiet mode is now slightly faster as the information to
3129
output is no longer calculated. (Ian Clatworthy)
3130
3131
* Commit no longer checks for new text keys during insertion when the
3132
revision id was deterministically unique. (Robert Collins)
3133
3134
* Committing a change which is not a merge and does not change the number of
3135
files in the tree is faster by utilising the data about whether files are
3136
changed to determine if the tree is unchanged rather than recalculating
3137
it at the end of the commit process. (Robert Collins)
3138
3139
* Inventory serialisation no longer double-sha's the content.
3140
(Robert Collins)
3141
3142
* Knit text reconstruction now avoids making copies of the lines list for
3143
interim texts when building a single text. The new ``apply_delta`` method
3144
on ``KnitContent`` aids this by allowing modification of the revision id
3145
such objects represent. (Robert Collins)
3146
3147
* Pack indices are now partially parsed for specific key lookup using a
3148
bisection approach. (Robert Collins)
3149
3150
* Partial commits are now approximately 40% faster by walking over the
3151
unselected current tree more efficiently. (Robert Collins)
3152
3153
* XML inventory serialisation takes 20% less time while being stricter about
3154
the contents. (Robert Collins)
3155
3156
* Graph ``heads()`` queries have been fixed to no longer access all history
3157
unnecessarily. (Robert Collins)
3158
3159
IMPROVEMENTS:
3160
3161
* ``bzr+https://`` smart server across https now supported.
3162
(John Ferlito, Martin Pool, #128456)
3163
3164
* Mutt is now a supported mail client; set ``mail_client=mutt`` in your
3165
bazaar.conf and ``send`` will use mutt. (Keir Mierle)
3166
3167
* New option ``-c``/``--change`` for ``merge`` command for cherrypicking
3168
changes from one revision. (Alexander Belchenko, #141368)
3169
3170
* Show encodings, locale and list of plugins in the traceback message.
3171
(Martin Pool, #63894)
3172
3173
* Experimental directory formats can now be marked with
3174
``experimental = True`` during registration. (Ian Clatworthy)
3175
3176
DOCUMENTATION:
3177
3178
* New *Bazaar in Five Minutes* guide. (Matthew Revell)
3179
3180
* The hooks reference documentation is now converted to html as expected.
3181
(Ian Clatworthy)
3182
3183
BUG FIXES:
3184
3185
* Connection error reporting for the smart server has been fixed to
3186
display a user friendly message instead of a traceback.
3187
(Ian Clatworthy, #115601)
3188
3189
* Make sure to use ``O_BINARY`` when opening files to check their
3190
sha1sum. (Alexander Belchenko, John Arbash Meinel, #153493)
3191
3192
* Fix a problem with Win32 handling of the executable bit.
3193
(John Arbash Meinel, #149113)
3194
3195
* ``bzr+ssh://`` and ``sftp://`` URLs that do not specify ports explicitly
3196
no longer assume that means port 22. This allows people using OpenSSH to
3197
override the default port in their ``~/.ssh/config`` if they wish. This
3198
fixes a bug introduced in bzr 0.91. (Andrew Bennetts, #146715)
3199
3200
* Commands reporting exceptions can now be profiled and still have their
3201
data correctly dumped to a file. For example, a ``bzr commit`` with
3202
no changes still reports the operation as pointless but doing so no
3203
longer throws away the profiling data if this command is run with
3204
``--lsprof-file callgrind.out.ci`` say. (Ian Clatworthy)
3205
3206
* Fallback to ftp when paramiko is not installed and sftp can't be used for
3207
``tests/commands`` so that the test suite is still usable without
3208
paramiko.
3209
(Vincent Ladeuil, #59150)
3210
3211
* Fix commit ordering in corner case. (Aaron Bentley, #94975)
3212
3213
* Fix long standing bug in partial commit when there are renames
3214
left in tree. (Robert Collins, #140419)
3215
3216
* Fix selftest semi-random noise during http related tests.
3217
(Vincent Ladeuil, #140614)
3218
3219
* Fix typo in ftp.py making the reconnection fail on temporary errors.
3220
(Vincent Ladeuil, #154259)
3221
3222
* Fix failing test by comparing real paths to cover the case where the TMPDIR
3223
contains a symbolic link.
3224
(Vincent Ladeuil, #141382).
3225
3226
* Fix log against smart server branches that don't support tags.
3227
(James Westby, #140615)
3228
3229
* Fix pycurl http implementation by defining error codes from
3230
pycurl instead of relying on an old curl definition.
3231
(Vincent Ladeuil, #147530)
3232
3233
* Fix 'unprintable error' message when displaying BzrCheckError and
3234
some other exceptions on Python 2.5.
3235
(Martin Pool, #144633)
3236
3237
* Fix ``Inventory.copy()`` and add test for it. (Jelmer Vernooij)
3238
3239
* Handles default value for ListOption in cmd_commit.
3240
(Vincent Ladeuil, #140432)
3241
3242
* HttpServer and FtpServer need to be closed properly or a listening socket
3243
will remain opened.
3244
(Vincent Ladeuil, #140055)
3245
3246
* Monitor the .bzr directory created in the top level test
3247
directory to detect leaking tests.
3248
(Vincent Ladeuil, #147986)
3249
3250
* The basename, not the full path, is now used when checking whether
3251
the profiling dump file begins with ``callgrind.out`` or not. This
3252
fixes a bug reported by Aaron Bentley on IRC. (Ian Clatworthy)
3253
3254
* Trivial fix for invoking command ``reconfigure`` without arguments.
3255
(Rob Weir, #141629)
3256
3257
* ``WorkingTree.rename_one`` will now raise an error if normalisation of the
3258
new path causes bzr to be unable to access the file. (Robert Collins)
3259
3260
* Correctly detect a NoSuchFile when using a filezilla server. (Gary van der
3261
Merwe)
3262
3263
API BREAKS:
3264
3265
* ``bzrlib.index.GraphIndex`` now requires a size parameter to the
3266
constructor, for enabling bisection searches. (Robert Collins)
3267
3268
* ``CommitBuilder.record_entry_contents`` now requires the root entry of a
3269
tree be supplied to it, previously failing to do so would trigger a
3270
deprecation warning. (Robert Collins)
3271
3272
* ``KnitVersionedFile.add*`` will no longer cache added records even when
3273
enable_cache() has been called - the caching feature is now exclusively for
3274
reading existing data. (Robert Collins)
3275
3276
* ``ReadOnlyLockError`` is deprecated; ``LockFailed`` is usually more
3277
appropriate. (Martin Pool)
3278
3279
* Removed ``bzrlib.transport.TransportLogger`` - please see the new
3280
``trace+`` transport instead. (Robert Collins)
3281
3282
* Removed previously deprecated varargs interface to ``TestCase.run_bzr`` and
3283
deprecated methods ``TestCase.capture`` and ``TestCase.run_bzr_captured``.
3284
(Martin Pool)
3285
3286
* Removed previous deprecated ``basis_knit`` parameter to the
3287
``KnitVersionedFile`` constructor. (Robert Collins)
3288
3289
* Special purpose method ``TestCase.run_bzr_decode`` is moved to the test_non_ascii
3290
class that needs it.
3291
(Martin Pool)
3292
3293
* The class ``bzrlib.repofmt.knitrepo.KnitRepository3`` has been folded into
3294
``KnitRepository`` by parameters to the constructor. (Robert Collins)
3295
3296
* The ``VersionedFile`` interface now allows content checks to be bypassed
3297
by supplying check_content=False. This saves nearly 30% of the minimum
3298
cost to store a version of a file. (Robert Collins)
3299
3300
* Tree's with bad state such as files with no length or sha will no longer
3301
be silently accepted by the repository XML serialiser. To serialise
3302
inventories without such data, pass working=True to write_inventory.
3303
(Robert Collins)
3304
3305
* ``VersionedFile.fix_parents`` has been removed as a harmful API.
3306
``VersionedFile.join`` will no longer accept different parents on either
3307
side of a join - it will either ignore them, or error, depending on the
3308
implementation. See notes when upgrading for more information.
3309
(Robert Collins)
3310
3311
INTERNALS:
3312
3313
* ``bzrlib.transport.Transport.put_file`` now returns the number of bytes
3314
put by the method call, to allow avoiding stat-after-write or
3315
housekeeping in callers. (Robert Collins)
3316
3317
* ``bzrlib.xml_serializer.Serializer`` is now responsible for checking that
3318
mandatory attributes are present on serialisation and deserialisation.
3319
This fixes some holes in API usage and allows better separation between
3320
physical storage and object serialisation. (Robert Collins)
3321
3322
* New class ``bzrlib.errors.InternalBzrError`` which is just a convenient
3323
shorthand for deriving from BzrError and setting internal_error = True.
3324
(Robert Collins)
3325
3326
* New method ``bzrlib.mutabletree.update_to_one_parent_via_delta`` for
3327
moving the state of a parent tree to a new version via a delta rather than
3328
a complete replacement tree. (Robert Collins)
3329
3330
* New method ``bzrlib.osutils.minimum_path_selection`` useful for removing
3331
duplication from user input, when a user mentions both a path and an item
3332
contained within that path. (Robert Collins)
3333
3334
* New method ``bzrlib.repository.Repository.is_write_locked`` useful for
3335
determining if a repository is write locked. (Robert Collins)
3336
3337
* New method on ``bzrlib.tree.Tree`` ``path_content_summary`` provides a
3338
tuple containing the key information about a path for commit processing
3339
to complete. (Robert Collins)
3340
3341
* New method on xml serialisers, write_inventory_to_lines, which matches the
3342
API used by knits for adding content. (Robert Collins)
3343
3344
* New module ``bzrlib.bisect_multi`` with generic multiple-bisection-at-once
3345
logic, currently only available for byte-based lookup
3346
(``bisect_multi_bytes``). (Robert Collins)
3347
3348
* New helper ``bzrlib.tuned_gzip.bytes_to_gzip`` which takes a byte string
3349
and returns a gzipped version of the same. This is used to avoid a bunch
3350
of api friction during adding of knit hunks. (Robert Collins)
3351
3352
* New parameter on ``bzrlib.transport.Transport.readv``
3353
``adjust_for_latency`` which changes readv from returning strictly the
3354
requested data to inserted return larger ranges and in forward read order
3355
to reduce the effect of network latency. (Robert Collins)
3356
3357
* New parameter yield_parents on ``Inventory.iter_entries_by_dir`` which
3358
causes the parents of a selected id to be returned recursively, so all the
3359
paths from the root down to each element of selected_file_ids are
3360
returned. (Robert Collins)
3361
3362
* Knit joining has been enhanced to support plain to annotated conversion
3363
and annotated to plain conversion. (Ian Clatworthy)
3364
3365
* The CommitBuilder method ``record_entry_contents`` now returns summary
3366
information about the effect of the commit on the repository. This tuple
3367
contains an inventory delta item if the entry changed from the basis, and a
3368
boolean indicating whether a new file graph node was recorded.
3369
(Robert Collins)
3370
3371
* The python path used in the Makefile can now be overridden.
3372
(Andrew Bennetts, Ian Clatworthy)
3373
3374
TESTING:
3375
3376
* New transport implementation ``trace+`` which is useful for testing,
3377
logging activity taken to its _activity attribute. (Robert Collins)
3378
3379
* When running bzr commands within the test suite, internal exceptions are
3380
not caught and reported in the usual way, but rather allowed to propagate
3381
up and be visible to the test suite. A new API ``run_bzr_catch_user_errors``
3382
makes this behavior available to other users.
3383
(Martin Pool)
3384
3385
* New method ``TestCase.call_catch_warnings`` for testing methods that
3386
raises a Python warning. (Martin Pool)
3387
3388
3389
bzr 0.91 2007-09-26
3390
-------------------
3391
3392
BUG FIXES:
3393
3394
* Print a warning instead of aborting the ``python setup.py install``
3395
process if building of a C extension is not possible.
3396
(Lukáš Lalinský, Alexander Belchenko)
3397
3398
* Fix commit ordering in corner case (Aaron Bentley, #94975)
3399
3400
* Fix ''bzr info bzr://host/'' and other operations on ''bzr://' URLs with
3401
an implicit port. We were incorrectly raising PathNotChild due to
3402
inconsistent treatment of the ''_port'' attribute on the Transport object.
3403
(Andrew Bennetts, #133965)
3404
3405
* Make RemoteRepository.sprout cope gracefully with servers that don't
3406
support the ``Repository.tarball`` request.
3407
(Andrew Bennetts)
3408
3409
3410
bzr 0.91rc2 2007-09-11
3411
----------------------
3412
3413
* Replaced incorrect tarball for previous release; a debug statement was left
3414
in bzrlib/remote.py.
3415
3416
3417
bzr 0.91rc1 2007-09-11
3418
----------------------
3419
3420
CHANGES:
3421
3422
* The default branch and repository format has changed to
3423
``dirstate-tags``, so tag commands are active by default.
3424
This format is compatible with Bazaar 0.15 and later.
3425
This incidentally fixes bug #126141.
3426
(Martin Pool)
3427
3428
* ``--quiet`` or ``-q`` is no longer a global option. If present, it
3429
must now appear after the command name. Scripts doing things like
3430
``bzr -q missing`` need to be rewritten as ``bzr missing -q``.
3431
(Ian Clatworthy)
3432
3433
FEATURES:
3434
3435
* New option ``--author`` in ``bzr commit`` to specify the author of the
3436
change, if it's different from the committer. ``bzr log`` and
3437
``bzr annotate`` display the author instead of the committer.
3438
(Lukáš Lalinský)
3439
3440
* In addition to global options and command specific options, a set of
3441
standard options are now supported. Standard options are legal for
3442
all commands. The initial set of standard options are:
3443
3444
* ``--help`` or ``-h`` - display help message
3445
* ``--verbose`` or ``-v`` - display additional information
3446
* ``--quiet`` or ``-q`` - only output warnings and errors.
3447
3448
Unlike global options, standard options can be used in aliases and
3449
may have command-specific help. (Ian Clatworthy)
3450
3451
* Verbosity level processing has now been unified. If ``--verbose``
3452
or ``-v`` is specified on the command line multiple times, the
3453
verbosity level is made positive the first time then increased.
3454
If ``--quiet`` or ``-q`` is specified on the command line
3455
multiple times, the verbosity level is made negative the first
3456
time then decreased. To get the default verbosity level of zero,
3457
either specify none of the above , ``--no-verbose`` or ``--no-quiet``.
3458
Note that most commands currently ignore the magnitude of the
3459
verbosity level but do respect *quiet vs normal vs verbose* when
3460
generating output. (Ian Clatworthy)
3461
3462
* ``Branch.hooks`` now supports ``pre_commit`` hook. The hook's signature
3463
is documented in BranchHooks constructor. (Nam T. Nguyen, #102747)
3464
3465
* New ``Repository.stream_knit_data_for_revisions`` request added to the
3466
network protocol for greatly reduced roundtrips when retrieving a set of
3467
revisions. (Andrew Bennetts)
3468
3469
BUG FIXES:
3470
3471
* ``bzr plugins`` now lists the version number for each plugin in square
3472
brackets after the path. (Robert Collins, #125421)
3473
3474
* Pushing, pulling and branching branches with subtree references was not
3475
copying the subtree weave, preventing the file graph from being accessed
3476
and causing errors in commits in clones. (Robert Collins)
3477
3478
* Suppress warning "integer argument expected, got float" from Paramiko,
3479
which sometimes caused false test failures. (Martin Pool)
3480
3481
* Fix bug in bundle 4 that could cause attempts to write data to wrong
3482
versionedfile. (Aaron Bentley)
3483
3484
* Diffs generated using "diff -p" no longer break the patch parser.
3485
(Aaron Bentley)
3486
3487
* get_transport treats an empty possible_transports list the same as a non-
3488
empty one. (Aaron Bentley)
3489
3490
* patch verification for merge directives is reactivated, and works with
3491
CRLF and CR files. (Aaron Bentley)
3492
3493
* Accept ..\ as a path in revision specifiers. This fixes for example
3494
"-r branch:..\other-branch" on Windows. (Lukáš Lalinský)
3495
3496
* ``BZR_PLUGIN_PATH`` may now contain trailing slashes.
3497
(Blake Winton, #129299)
3498
3499
* man page no longer lists hidden options (#131667, Aaron Bentley)
3500
3501
* ``uncommit --help`` now explains the -r option adequately. (Daniel
3502
Watkins, #106726)
3503
3504
* Error messages are now better formatted with parameters (such as
3505
filenames) quoted when necessary. This avoids confusion when directory
3506
names ending in a '.' at the end of messages were confused with a
3507
full stop that may or not have been there. (Daniel Watkins, #129791)
3508
3509
* Fix ``status FILE -r X..Y``. (Lukáš Lalinský)
3510
3511
* If a particular command is an alias, ``help`` will show the alias
3512
instead of claiming there is no help for said alias. (Daniel Watkins,
3513
#133548)
3514
3515
* TreeTransform-based operations, like pull, merge, revert, and branch,
3516
now roll back if they encounter an error. (Aaron Bentley, #67699)
3517
3518
* ``bzr commit`` now exits cleanly if a character unsupported by the
3519
current encoding is used in the commit message. (Daniel Watkins,
3520
#116143)
3521
3522
* bzr send uses default values for ranges when only half of an elipsis
3523
is specified ("-r..5" or "-r5.."). (#61685, Aaron Bentley)
3524
3525
* Avoid trouble when Windows ssh calls itself 'plink' but no plink
3526
binary is present. (Martin Albisetti, #107155)
3527
3528
* ``bzr remove`` should remove clean subtrees. Now it will remove (without
3529
needing ``--force``) subtrees that contain no files with text changes or
3530
modified files. With ``--force`` it removes the subtree regardless of
3531
text changes or unknown files. Directories with renames in or out (but
3532
not changed otherwise) will now be removed without needing ``--force``.
3533
Unknown ignored files will be deleted without needing ``--force``.
3534
(Marius Kruger, #111665)
3535
3536
* When two plugins conflict, the source of both the losing and now the
3537
winning definition is shown. (Konstantin Mikhaylov, #5454)
3538
3539
* When committing to a branch, the location being committed to is
3540
displayed. (Daniel Watkins, #52479)
3541
3542
* ``bzr --version`` takes care about encoding of stdout, especially
3543
when output is redirected. (Alexander Belchenko, #131100)
3544
3545
* Prompt for an ftp password if none is provided.
3546
(Vincent Ladeuil, #137044)
3547
3548
* Reuse bound branch associated transport to avoid multiple
3549
connections.
3550
(Vincent Ladeuil, #128076, #131396)
3551
3552
* Overwrite conflicting tags by ``push`` and ``pull`` if the
3553
``--overwrite`` option is specified. (Lukáš Lalinský, #93947)
3554
3555
* In checkouts, tags are copied into the master branch when created,
3556
changed or deleted, and are copied into the checkout when it is
3557
updated. (Martin Pool, #93856, #93860)
3558
3559
* Print a warning instead of aborting the ``python setup.py install``
3560
process if building of a C extension is not possible.
3561
(Lukáš Lalinský, Alexander Belchenko)
3562
3563
IMPROVEMENTS:
3564
3565
* Add the option "--show-diff" to the commit command in order to display
3566
the diff during the commit log creation. (Goffredo Baroncelli)
3567
3568
* ``pull`` and ``merge`` are much faster at installing bundle format 4.
3569
(Aaron Bentley)
3570
3571
* ``pull -v`` no longer includes deltas, making it much faster.
3572
(Aaron Bentley)
3573
3574
* ``send`` now sends the directive as an attachment by default.
3575
(Aaron Bentley, Lukáš Lalinský, Alexander Belchenko)
3576
3577
* Documentation updates (Martin Albisetti)
3578
3579
* Help on debug flags is now included in ``help global-options``.
3580
(Daniel Watkins, #124853)
3581
3582
* Parameters passed on the command line are checked to ensure they are
3583
supported by the encoding in use. (Daniel Watkins)
3584
3585
* The compression used within the bzr repository has changed from zlib
3586
level 9 to the zlib default level. This improves commit performance with
3587
only a small increase in space used (and in some cases a reduction in
3588
space). (Robert Collins)
3589
3590
* Initial commit no longer SHAs files twice and now reuses the path
3591
rather than looking it up again, making it faster.
3592
(Ian Clatworthy)
3593
3594
* New option ``-c``/``--change`` for ``diff`` and ``status`` to show
3595
changes in one revision. (Lukáš Lalinský)
3596
3597
* If versioned files match a given ignore pattern, a warning is now
3598
given. (Daniel Watkins, #48623)
3599
3600
* ``bzr status`` now has -S as a short name for --short and -V as a
3601
short name for --versioned. These have been added to assist users
3602
migrating from Subversion: ``bzr status -SV`` is now like
3603
``svn status -q``. (Daniel Watkins, #115990)
3604
3605
* Added C implementation of ``PatienceSequenceMatcher``, which is about
3606
10x faster than the Python version. This speeds up commands that
3607
need file diffing, such as ``bzr commit`` or ``bzr diff``.
3608
(Lukáš Lalinský)
3609
3610
* HACKING has been extended with a large section on core developer tasks.
3611
(Ian Clatworthy)
3612
3613
* Add ``branches`` and ``standalone-trees`` as online help topics and
3614
include them as Concepts within the User Reference.
3615
(Paul Moore, Ian Clatworthy)
3616
3617
* ``check`` can detect versionedfile parent references that are
3618
inconsistent with revision and inventory info, and ``reconcile`` can fix
3619
them. These faulty references were generated by 0.8-era releases,
3620
so repositories which were manipulated by old bzrs should be
3621
checked, and possibly reconciled ASAP. (Aaron Bentley, Andrew Bennetts)
3622
3623
API BREAKS:
3624
3625
* ``Branch.append_revision`` is removed altogether; please use
3626
``Branch.set_last_revision_info`` instead. (Martin Pool)
3627
3628
* CommitBuilder now advertises itself as requiring the root entry to be
3629
supplied. This only affects foreign repository implementations which reuse
3630
CommitBuilder directly and have changed record_entry_contents to require
3631
that the root not be supplied. This should be precisely zero plugins
3632
affected. (Robert Collins)
3633
3634
* The ``add_lines`` methods on ``VersionedFile`` implementations has changed
3635
its return value to include the sha1 and length of the inserted text. This
3636
allows the avoidance of double-sha1 calculations during commit.
3637
(Robert Collins)
3638
3639
* ``Transport.should_cache`` has been removed. It was not called in the
3640
previous release. (Martin Pool)
3641
3642
TESTING:
3643
3644
* Tests may now raise TestNotApplicable to indicate they shouldn't be
3645
run in a particular scenario. (Martin Pool)
3646
3647
* New function multiply_tests_from_modules to give a simpler interface
3648
to test parameterization. (Martin Pool, Robert Collins)
3649
3650
* ``Transport.should_cache`` has been removed. It was not called in the
3651
previous release. (Martin Pool)
3652
3653
* NULL_REVISION is returned to indicate the null revision, not None.
3654
(Aaron Bentley)
3655
3656
* Use UTF-8 encoded StringIO for log tests to avoid failures on
3657
non-ASCII committer names. (Lukáš Lalinský)
3658
3659
INTERNALS:
3660
3661
* ``bzrlib.plugin.all_plugins`` has been deprecated in favour of
3662
``bzrlib.plugin.plugins()`` which returns PlugIn objects that provide
3663
useful functionality for determining the path of a plugin, its tests, and
3664
its version information. (Robert Collins)
3665
3666
* Add the option user_encoding to the function 'show_diff_trees()'
3667
in order to move the user encoding at the UI level. (Goffredo Baroncelli)
3668
3669
* Add the function make_commit_message_template_encoded() and the function
3670
edit_commit_message_encoded() which handle encoded strings.
3671
This is done in order to mix the commit messages (which is a unicode
3672
string), and the diff which is a raw string. (Goffredo Baroncelli)
3673
3674
* CommitBuilder now defaults to using add_lines_with_ghosts, reducing
3675
overhead on non-weave repositories which don't require all parents to be
3676
present. (Robert Collins)
3677
3678
* Deprecated method ``find_previous_heads`` on
3679
``bzrlib.inventory.InventoryEntry``. This has been superseded by the use
3680
of ``parent_candidates`` and a separate heads check via the repository
3681
API. (Robert Collins)
3682
3683
* New trace function ``mutter_callsite`` will print out a subset of the
3684
stack to the log, which can be useful for gathering debug details.
3685
(Robert Collins)
3686
3687
* ``bzrlib.pack.ContainerWriter`` now tracks how many records have been
3688
added via a public attribute records_written. (Robert Collins)
3689
3690
* New method ``bzrlib.transport.Transport.get_recommended_page_size``.
3691
This provides a hint to users of transports as to the reasonable
3692
minimum data to read. In principle this can take latency and
3693
bandwidth into account on a per-connection basis, but for now it
3694
just has hard coded values based on the url. (e.g. http:// has a large
3695
page size, file:// has a small one.) (Robert Collins)
3696
3697
* New method on ``bzrlib.transport.Transport`` ``open_write_stream`` allows
3698
incremental addition of data to a file without requiring that all the
3699
data be buffered in memory. (Robert Collins)
3700
3701
* New methods on ``bzrlib.knit.KnitVersionedFile``:
3702
``get_data_stream(versions)``, ``insert_data_stream(stream)`` and
3703
``get_format_signature()``. These provide some infrastructure for
3704
efficiently streaming the knit data for a set of versions over the smart
3705
protocol.
3706
3707
* Knits with no annotation cache still produce correct annotations.
3708
(Aaron Bentley)
3709
3710
* Three new methods have been added to ``bzrlib.trace``:
3711
``set_verbosity_level``, ``get_verbosity_level`` and ``is_verbose``.
3712
``set_verbosity_level`` expects a numeric value: negative for quiet,
3713
zero for normal, positive for verbose. The size of the number can be
3714
used to determine just how quiet or verbose the application should be.
3715
The existing ``be_quiet`` and ``is_quiet`` routines have been
3716
integrated into this new scheme. (Ian Clatworthy)
3717
3718
* Options can now be delcared with a ``custom_callback`` parameter. If
3719
set, this routine is called after the option is processed. This feature
3720
is now used by the standard options ``verbose`` and ``quiet`` so that
3721
setting one implicitly resets the other. (Ian Clatworthy)
3722
3723
* Rather than declaring a new option from scratch in order to provide
3724
custom help, a centrally registered option can be decorated using the
3725
new ``bzrlib.Option.custom_help`` routine. In particular, this routine
3726
is useful when declaring better help for the ``verbose`` and ``quiet``
3727
standard options as the base definition of these is now more complex
3728
than before thanks to their use of a custom callback. (Ian Clatworthy)
3729
3730
* Tree._iter_changes(specific_file=[]) now iterates through no files,
3731
instead of iterating through all files. None is used to iterate through
3732
all files. (Aaron Bentley)
3733
3734
* WorkingTree.revert() now accepts None to revert all files. The use of
3735
[] to revert all files is deprecated. (Aaron Bentley)

-------------------
3740
3741
IMPROVEMENTS:
3742
3743
* Documentation is now organized into multiple directories with a level
3744
added for different languages or locales. Added the Mini Tutorial
3745
and Quick Start Summary (en) documents from the Wiki, improving the
3746
content and readability of the former. Formatted NEWS as Release Notes
3747
complete with a Table of Conents, one heading per release. Moved the
3748
Developer Guide into the main document catalog and provided a link
3749
from the developer document catalog back to the main one.

3752
3753
API CHANGES:
3754
3755
* The static convenience method ``BzrDir.create_repository``
3756
is deprecated. Callers should instead create a ``BzrDir`` instance
3757
and call ``create_repository`` on that. (Martin Pool)
3758
3759
3760
bzr 0.90rc1 2007-08-14
3761
----------------------
3762
3763
BUGFIXES:
3764
3765
* ``bzr init`` should connect to the remote location one time only. We
3766
have been connecting several times because we forget to pass around the
3767
Transport object. This modifies ``BzrDir.create_branch_convenience``,
3768
so that we can give it the Transport we already have.
3769
(John Arbash Meinel, Vincent Ladeuil, #111702)
3770
3771
* Get rid of sftp connection cache (get rid of the FTP one too).
3772
(Vincent Ladeuil, #43731)
3773
3774
* bzr branch {local|remote} remote don't try to create a working tree
3775
anymore.
3776
(Vincent Ladeuil, #112173)
3777
3778
* All identified multiple connections for a single bzr command have been
3779
fixed. See bzrlib/tests/commands directory.
3780
(Vincent Ladeuil)
3781
3782
* ``bzr rm`` now does not insist on ``--force`` to delete files that
3783
have been renamed but not otherwise modified. (Marius Kruger,
3784
#111664)
3785
3786
* ``bzr selftest --bench`` no longer emits deprecation warnings
3787
(Lukáš Lalinský)
3788
3789
* ``bzr status`` now honours FILE parameters for conflict lists
3790
(Aaron Bentley, #127606)
3791
3792
* ``bzr checkout`` now honours -r when reconstituting a working tree.
3793
It also honours -r 0. (Aaron Bentley, #127708)
3794
3795
* ``bzr add *`` no more fails on Windows if working tree contains
3796
non-ascii file names. (Kuno Meyer, #127361)
3797
3798
* allow ``easy_install bzr`` runs without fatal errors.
3799
(Alexander Belchenko, #125521)
3800
3801
* Graph._filter_candidate_lca does not raise KeyError if a candidate
3802
is eliminated just before it would normally be examined. (Aaron Bentley)
3803
3804
* SMTP connection failures produce a nice message, not a traceback.
3805
(Aaron Bentley)
3806
3807
IMPROVEMENTS:
3808
3809
* Don't show "dots" progress indicators when run non-interactively, such
3810
as from cron. (Martin Pool)
3811
3812
* ``info`` now formats locations more nicely and lists "submit" and
3813
"public" branches (Aaron Bentley)
3814
3815
* New ``pack`` command that will trigger database compression within
3816
the repository (Robert Collins)
3817
3818
* Implement ``_KnitIndex._load_data`` in a pyrex extension. The pyrex
3819
version is approximately 2-3x faster at parsing a ``.kndx`` file.
3820
Which yields a measurable improvement for commands which have to
3821
read from the repository, such as a 1s => 0.75s improvement in
3822
``bzr diff`` when there are changes to be shown. (John Arbash Meinel)
3823
3824
* Merge is now faster. Depending on the scenario, it can be more than 2x
3825
faster. (Aaron Bentley)
3826
3827
* Give a clearer warning, and allow ``python setup.py install`` to
3828
succeed even if pyrex is not available.
3829
(John Arbash Meinel)
3830
3831
* ``DirState._read_dirblocks`` now has an optional Pyrex
3832
implementation. This improves the speed of any command that has to
3833
read the entire DirState. (``diff``, ``status``, etc, improve by
3834
about 10%).
3835
``bisect_dirblocks`` has also been improved, which helps all
3836
``_get_entry`` type calls (whenever we are searching for a
3837
particular entry in the in-memory DirState).
3838
(John Arbash Meinel)
3839
3840
* ``bzr pull`` and ``bzr push`` no longer do a complete walk of the
3841
branch revision history for ui display unless -v is supplied.
3842
(Robert Collins)
3843
3844
* ``bzr log -rA..B`` output shifted to the left margin if the log only
3845
contains merge revisions. (Kent Gibson)
3846
3847
* The ``plugins`` command is now public with improved help.
3848
(Ian Clatworthy)
3849
3850
* New bundle and merge directive formats are faster to generate, and
3851
3852
* Annotate merge now works when there are local changes. (Aaron Bentley)
3853
3854
* Commit now only shows the progress in terms of directories instead of
3855
entries. (Ian Clatworthy)
3856
3857
* Fix ``KnitRepository.get_revision_graph`` to not request the graph 2
3858
times. This makes ``get_revision_graph`` 2x faster. (John Arbash
3859
Meinel)
3860
3861
* Fix ``VersionedFile.get_graph()`` to avoid using
3862
``set.difference_update(other)``, which has bad scaling when
3863
``other`` is large. This improves ``VF.get_graph([version_id])`` for
3864
a 12.5k graph from 2.9s down to 200ms. (John Arbash Meinel)
3865
3866
* The ``--lsprof-file`` option now generates output for KCacheGrind if
3867
the file starts with ``callgrind.out``. This matches the default file
3868
filtering done by KCacheGrind's Open Dialog. (Ian Clatworthy)
3869
3870
* Fix ``bzr update`` to avoid an unnecessary
3871
``branch.get_master_branch`` call, which avoids 1 extra connection
3872
to the remote server. (Partial fix for #128076, John Arbash Meinel)
3873
3874
* Log errors from the smart server in the trace file, to make debugging
3875
test failures (and live failures!) easier. (Andrew Bennetts)
3876
3877
* The HTML version of the man page has been superceded by a more
3878
comprehensive manual called the Bazaar User Reference. This manual
3879
is completed generated from the online help topics. As part of this
3880
change, limited reStructuredText is now explicitly supported in help
3881
topics and command help with 'unnatural' markup being removed prior
3882
to display by the online help or inclusion in the man page.
3883
(Ian Clatworthy)
3884
3885
* HTML documentation now use files extension ``*.html``
3886
(Alexander Belchenko)
3887
3888
* The cache of ignore definitions is now cleared in WorkingTree.unlock()
3889
so that changes to .bzrignore aren't missed. (#129694, Daniel Watkins)
3890
3891
* ``bzr selftest --strict`` fails if there are any missing features or
3892
expected test failures. (Daniel Watkins, #111914)
3893
3894
* Link to registration survey added to README. (Ian Clatworthy)
3895
3896
* Windows standalone installer show link to registration survey
3897
when installation finished. (Alexander Belchenko)
3898
3899
LIBRARY API BREAKS:
3900
3901
* Deprecated dictionary ``bzrlib.option.SHORT_OPTIONS`` removed.
3902
Options are now required to provide a help string and it must
3903
comply with the style guide by being one or more sentences with an
3904
initial capital and final period. (Martin Pool)
3905
3906
* KnitIndex.get_parents now returns tuples. (Robert Collins)
3907
3908
* Ancient unused ``Repository.text_store`` attribute has been removed.
3909
(Robert Collins)
3910
3911
* The ``bzrlib.pack`` interface has changed to use tuples of bytestrings
3912
rather than just bytestrings, making it easier to represent multiple
3913
element names. As this interface was not used by any internal facilities
3914
since it was introduced in 0.18 no API compatibility is being preserved.
3915
The serialised form of these packs is identical with 0.18 when a single
3916
element tuple is in use. (Robert Collins)
3917
3918
INTERNALS:
3919
3920
* merge now uses ``iter_changes`` to calculate changes, which makes room for
3921
future performance increases. It is also more consistent with other
3922
operations that perform comparisons, and reduces reliance on
3923
Tree.inventory. (Aaron Bentley)
3924
3925
* Refactoring of transport classes connected to a remote server.
3926
ConnectedTransport is a new class that serves as a basis for all
3927
transports needing to connect to a remote server. transport.split_url
3928
have been deprecated, use the static method on the object instead. URL
3929
tests have been refactored too.
3930
(Vincent Ladeuil)
3931
3932
* Better connection sharing for ConnectedTransport objects.
3933
transport.get_transport() now accepts a 'possible_transports' parameter.
3934
If a newly requested transport can share a connection with one of the
3935
list, it will.
3936
(Vincent Ladeuil)
3937
3938
* Most functions now accept ``bzrlib.revision.NULL_REVISION`` to indicate
3939
the null revision, and consider using ``None`` for this purpose
3940
deprecated. (Aaron Bentley)
3941
3942
* New ``index`` module with abstract index functionality. This will be
3943
used during the planned changes in the repository layer. Currently the
3944
index layer provides a graph aware immutable index, a builder for the
3945
same index type to allow creating them, and finally a composer for
3946
such indices to allow the use of many indices in a single query. The
3947
index performance is not optimised, however the API is stable to allow
3948
development on top of the index. (Robert Collins)
3949
3950
* ``bzrlib.dirstate.cmp_by_dirs`` can be used to compare two paths by
3951
their directory sections. This is equivalent to comparing
3952
``path.split('/')``, only without having to split the paths.
3953
This has a Pyrex implementation available.
3954
(John Arbash Meinel)
3955
3956
* New transport decorator 'unlistable+' which disables the list_dir
3957
functionality for testing.
3958
3959
* Deprecated ``change_entry`` in transform.py. (Ian Clatworthy)
3960
3961
* RevisionTree.get_weave is now deprecated. Tree.plan_merge is now used
3962
for performing annotate-merge. (Aaron Bentley)
3963
3964
* New EmailMessage class to create email messages. (Adeodato Simó)
3965
3966
* Unused functions on the private interface KnitIndex have been removed.
3967
(Robert Collins)
3968
3969
* New ``knit.KnitGraphIndex`` which provides a ``KnitIndex`` layered on top
3970
of a ``index.GraphIndex``. (Robert Collins)
3971
3972
* New ``knit.KnitVersionedFile.iter_parents`` method that allows querying
3973
the parents of many knit nodes at once, reducing round trips to the
3974
underlying index. (Robert Collins)
3975
3976
* Graph now has an is_ancestor method, various bits use it.
3977
(Aaron Bentley)
3978
3979
* The ``-Dhpss`` flag now includes timing information. As well as
3980
logging when a new connection is opened. (John Arbash Meinel)
3981
3982
* ``bzrlib.pack.ContainerWriter`` now returns an offset, length tuple to
3983
callers when inserting data, allowing generation of readv style access
3984
during pack creation, without needing a separate pass across the output
3985
pack to gather such details. (Robert Collins)
3986
3987
* ``bzrlib.pack.make_readv_reader`` allows readv based access to pack
3988
files that are stored on a transport. (Robert Collins)
3989
3990
* New ``Repository.has_same_location`` method that reports if two
3991
repository objects refer to the same repository (although with some risk
3992
of false negatives). (Andrew Bennetts)
3993
3994
* InterTree.compare now passes require_versioned on correctly.
3995
(Marius Kruger)
3996
3997
* New methods on Repository - ``start_write_group``,
3998
``commit_write_group``, ``abort_write_group`` and ``is_in_write_group`` -
3999
which provide a clean hook point for transactional Repositories - ones
4000
where all the data for a fetch or commit needs to be made atomically
4001
available in one step. This allows the write lock to remain while making
4002
a series of data insertions. (e.g. data conversion). (Robert Collins)
4003
4004
* In ``bzrlib.knit`` the internal interface has been altered to use
4005
3-tuples (index, pos, length) rather than two-tuples (pos, length) to
4006
describe where data in a knit is, allowing knits to be split into
4007
many files. (Robert Collins)
4008
4009
* ``bzrlib.knit._KnitData`` split into cache management and physical access
4010
with two access classes - ``_PackAccess`` and ``_KnitAccess`` defined.
4011
The former provides access into a .pack file, and the latter provides the
4012
current production repository form of .knit files. (Robert Collins)
4013
4014
TESTING:
4015
4016
* Remove selftest ``--clean-output``, ``--numbered-dirs`` and
4017
``--keep-output`` options, which are obsolete now that tests
4018
are done within directories in $TMPDIR. (Martin Pool)
4019
4020
* The SSH_AUTH_SOCK environment variable is now reset to avoid
4021
interaction with any running ssh agents. (Jelmer Vernooij, #125955)
4022
4023
* run_bzr_subprocess handles parameters the same way as run_bzr:
4024
either a string or a list of strings should be passed as the first
4025
parameter. Varargs-style parameters are deprecated. (Aaron Bentley)

BUGFIXES:
4040
4041
* Do not suppress pipe errors, etc. in non-display commands
4042
(Alexander Belchenko, #87178)
4043
4044
* Display a useful error message when the user requests to annotate
4045
a file that is not present in the specified revision.
4046
(James Westby, #122656)
4047
4048
* Commands that use status flags now have a reference to 'help
4049
status-flags'. (Daniel Watkins, #113436)
4050
4051
* Work around python-2.4.1 inhability to correctly parse the
4052
authentication header.
4053
(Vincent Ladeuil, #121889)
4054
4055
* Use exact encoding for merge directives. (Adeodato Simó, #120591)
4056
4057
* Fix tempfile permissions error in smart server tar bundling under
4058
Windows. (Martin _, #119330)
4059
4060
* Fix detection of directory entries in the inventory. (James Westby)
4061
4062
* Fix handling of http code 400: Bad Request When issuing too many ranges.
4063
(Vincent Ladeuil, #115209)
4064
4065
* Issue a CONNECT request when connecting to an https server
4066
via a proxy to enable SSL tunneling.
4067
(Vincent Ladeuil, #120678)
4068
4069
* Fix ``bzr log -r`` to support selecting merge revisions, both
4070
individually and as part of revision ranges.
4071
(Kent Gibson, #4663)
4072
4073
* Don't leave cruft behind when failing to acquire a lockdir.
4074
(Martin Pool, #109169)
4075
4076
* Don't use the '-f' strace option during tests.
4077
(Vincent Ladeuil, #102019).
4078
4079
* Warn when setting ``push_location`` to a value that will be masked by
4080
locations.conf. (Aaron Bentley, #122286)
4081
4082
* Fix commit ordering in corner case (Aaron Bentley, #94975)
4083
4084
* Make annotate behave in a non-ASCII world (Adeodato Simó).
4085
4086
IMPROVEMENTS:
4087
4088
* The --lsprof-file option now dumps a text rendering of the profiling
4089
information if the filename ends in ".txt". It will also convert the
4090
profiling information to a format suitable for KCacheGrind if the
4091
output filename ends in ".callgrind". Fixes to the lsprofcalltree
4092
conversion process by Jean Paul Calderone and Itamar were also merged.
4093
See http://ddaa.net/blog/python/lsprof-calltree. (Ian Clatworthy)
4094
4095
* ``info`` now defaults to non-verbose mode, displaying only paths and
4096
abbreviated format info. ``info -v`` displays all the information
4097
formerly displayed by ``info``. (Aaron Bentley, Adeodato Simó)
4098
4099
* ``bzr missing`` now has better option names ``--this`` and ``--other``.
4100
(Elliot Murphy)
4101
4102
* The internal ``weave-list`` command has become ``versionedfile-list``,
4103
and now lists knits as well as weaves. (Aaron Bentley)
4104
4105
* Automatic merge base selection uses a faster algorithm that chooses
4106
better bases in criss-cross merge situations (Aaron Bentley)
4107
4108
* Progress reporting in ``commit`` has been improved. The various logical
4109
stages are now reported on as follows, namely:
4110
4111
* Collecting changes [Entry x/y] - Stage n/m
4112
* Saving data locally - Stage n/m
4113
* Uploading data to master branch - Stage n/m
4114
* Updating the working tree - Stage n/m
4115
* Running post commit hooks - Stage n/m
4116
4117
If there is no master branch, the 3rd stage is omitted and the total
4118
number of stages is adjusted accordingly.
4119
4120
Each hook that is run after commit is listed with a name (as hooks
4121
can be slow it is useful feedback).
4122
(Ian Clatworthy, Robert Collins)
4123
4124
* Various operations that are now faster due to avoiding unnecessary
4125
topological sorts. (Aaron Bentley)
4126
4127
* Make merge directives robust against broken bundles. (Aaron Bentley)
4128
4129
* The lsprof filename note is emitted via trace.note(), not standard
4130
output. (Aaron Bentley)
4131
4132
* ``bzrlib`` now exports explicit API compatibility information to assist
4133
library users and plugins. See the ``bzrlib.api`` module for details.
4134
(Robert Collins)
4135
4136
* Remove unnecessary lock probes when acquiring a lockdir.
4137
(Martin Pool)
4138
4139
* ``bzr --version`` now shows the location of the bzr log file, which
4140
is especially useful on Windows. (Martin Pool)
4141
4142
* -D now supports hooks to get debug tracing of hooks (though its currently
4143
minimal in nature). (Robert Collins)
4144
4145
* Long log format reports deltas on merge revisions.
4146
(John Arbash Meinel, Kent Gibson)
4147
4148
* Make initial push over ftp more resilient. (John Arbash Meinel)
4149
4150
* Print a summary of changes for update just like pull does.
4151
(Daniel Watkins, #113990)
4152
4153
* Add a -Dhpss option to trace smart protocol requests and responses.

4174
``bzrlib.tests.workingtree_implementations``.
4175
These changes are an API break in the testing infrastructure only.
4176
(Robert Collins)
4177
4178
* Relocate TestCaseWithRepository to be more central. (Robert Collins)
4179
4180
* ``bzrlib.add.smart_add_tree`` will no longer perform glob expansion on
4181
win32. Callers of the function should do this and use the new
4182
``MutableTree.smart_add`` method instead. (Robert Collins)
4183
4184
* ``bzrlib.add.glob_expand_for_win32`` is now
4185
``bzrlib.win32utils.glob_expand``. (Robert Collins)
4186
4187
* ``bzrlib.add.FastPath`` is now private and moved to
4188
``bzrlib.mutabletree._FastPath``. (Robert Collins, Martin Pool)
4189
4190
* ``LockDir.wait`` removed. (Martin Pool)
4191
4192
* The ``SmartServer`` hooks API has changed for the ``server_started`` and
4193
``server_stopped`` hooks. The first parameter is now an iterable of
4194
backing URLs rather than a single URL. This is to reflect that many
4195
URLs may map to the external URL of the server. E.g. the server interally
4196
may have a chrooted URL but also the local file:// URL will be at the
4197
same location. (Robert Collins)
4198
4199
INTERNALS:
4200
4201
* New SMTPConnection class to unify email handling. (Adeodato Simó)
4202
4203
* Fix documentation of BzrError. (Adeodato Simó)
4204
4205
* Make BzrBadParameter an internal error. (Adeodato Simó)
4206
4207
* Remove use of 'assert False' to raise an exception unconditionally.
4208
(Martin Pool)
4209
4210
* Give a cleaner error when failing to decode knit index entry.
4211
(Martin Pool)
4212
4213
* TreeConfig would mistakenly search the top level when asked for options
4214
from a section. It now respects the section argument and only
4215
searches the specified section. (James Westby)
4216
4217
* Improve ``make api-docs`` output. (John Arbash Meinel)
4218
4219
* Use os.lstat rather than os.stat for osutils.make_readonly and
4220
osutils.make_writeable. This makes the difftools plugin more
4221
robust when dangling symlinks are found. (Elliot Murphy)
4222
4223
* New ``-Dlock`` option to log (to ~/.bzr.log) information on when
4224
lockdirs are taken or released. (Martin Pool)
4225
4226
* ``bzrlib`` Hooks are now nameable using ``Hooks.name_hook``. This
4227
allows a nicer UI when hooks are running as the current hook can
4228
be displayed. (Robert Collins)
4229
4230
* ``Transport.get`` has had its interface made more clear for ease of use.
4231
Retrieval of a directory must now fail with either 'PathError' at open
4232
time, or raise 'ReadError' on a read. (Robert Collins)
4233
4234
* New method ``_maybe_expand_globs`` on the ``Command`` class for
4235
dealing with unexpanded glob lists - e.g. on the win32 platform. This
4236
was moved from ``bzrlib.add._prepare_file_list``. (Robert Collins)
4237
4238
* ``bzrlib.add.smart_add`` and ``bzrlib.add.smart_add_tree`` are now
4239
deprecated in favour of ``MutableTree.smart_add``. (Robert Collins,
4240
Martin Pool)
4241
4242
* New method ``external_url`` on Transport for obtaining the url to
4243
hand to external processes. (Robert Collins)
4244
4245
* Teach windows installers to build pyrex/C extensions.
4246
(Alexander Belchenko)
4247
4248
TESTING:
4249
4250
* Removed the ``--keep-output`` option from selftest and clean up test
4251
directories as they're used. This reduces the IO load from
4252
running the test suite and cuts the time by about half.
4253
(Andrew Bennetts, Martin Pool)
4254
4255
* Add scenarios as a public attribute on the TestAdapter classes to allow
4256
modification of the generated scenarios before adaption and easier
4257
testing. (Robert Collins)
4258
4259
* New testing support class ``TestScenarioApplier`` which multiplies
4260
out a single teste by a list of supplied scenarios. (RobertCollins)
4261
4262
* Setting ``repository_to_test_repository`` on a repository_implementations
4263
test will cause it to be called during repository creation, allowing the
4264
testing of repository classes which are not based around the Format
4265
concept. For example a repository adapter can be tested in this manner,
4266
by altering the repository scenarios to include a scenario that sets this
4267
attribute during the test parameterisation in
4268
``bzrlib.tests.repository.repository_implementations``. (Robert Collins)
4269
4270
* Clean up many of the APIs for blackbox testing of Bazaar. The standard
4271
interface is now self.run_bzr. The command to run can be passed as
4272
either a list of parameters, a string containing the command line, or
4273
(deprecated) varargs parameters. (Martin Pool)
4274
4275
* The base TestCase now isolates tests from -D parameters by clearing
4276
``debug.debug_flags`` and restores it afterwards. (Robert Collins)
4277
4278
* Add a relpath parameter to get_transport methods in test framework to
4279
avoid useless cloning.

4298
NOTES WHEN UPGRADING:
4299
4300
* The kind() and is_executable() APIs on the WorkingTree interface no
4301
longer implicitly (read) locks and unlocks the tree. This *might*
4302
impact some plug-ins and tools using this part of the API. If you find
4303
an issue that may be caused by this change, please let us know,
4304
particularly the plug-in/tool maintainer. If encountered, the API
4305
fix is to surround kind() and is_executable() calls with lock_read()
4306
and unlock() like so::
4307
4308
work_tree.lock_read()
4309
try:
4310
kind = work_tree.kind(...)
4311
finally:
4312
work_tree.unlock()
4313
4314
INTERNALS:
4315
* Rework of LogFormatter API to provide beginning/end of log hooks and to
4316
encapsulate the details of the revision to be logged in a LogRevision
4317
object.
4318
In long log formats, merge revision ids are only shown when --show-ids
4319
is specified, and are labelled "revision-id:", as per mainline
4320
revisions, instead of "merged:". (Kent Gibson)
4321
4322
* New ``BranchBuilder`` API which allows the construction of particular
4323
histories quickly. Useful for testing and potentially other applications
4324
too. (Robert Collins)
4325
4326
IMPROVEMENTS:
4327
4328
* There are two new help topics, working-trees and repositories that
4329
attempt to explain these concepts. (James Westby, John Arbash Meinel,
4330
Aaron Bentley)
4331
4332
* Added ``bzr log --limit`` to report a limited number of revisions.
4333
(Kent Gibson, #3659)
4334
4335
* Revert does not try to preserve file contents that were originally
4336
produced by reverting to a historical revision. (Aaron Bentley)
4337
4338
* ``bzr log --short`` now includes ``[merge]`` for revisions which
4339
have more than one parent. This is a small improvement to help
4340
understanding what changes have occurred
4341
(John Arbash Meinel, #83887)
4342
4343
* TreeTransform avoids many renames when contructing large trees,
4344
improving speed. 3.25x speedups have been observed for construction of
4345
kernel-sized-trees, and checkouts are 1.28x faster. (Aaron Bentley)
4346
4347
* Commit on large trees is now faster. In my environment, a commit of
4348
a small change to the Mozilla tree (55k files) has dropped from
4349
66 seconds to 32 seconds. For a small tree of 600 files, commit of a
4350
small change is 33% faster. (Ian Clatworthy)
4351
4352
* New --create-prefix option to bzr init, like for push. (Daniel Watkins,
4353
#56322)
4354
4355
BUGFIXES:
4356
4357
* ``bzr push`` should only connect to the remote location one time.
4358
We have been connecting 3 times because we forget to pass around
4359
the Transport object. This adds ``BzrDir.clone_on_transport()``, so
4360
that we can pass in the Transport that we already have.
4361
(John Arbash Meinel, #75721)
4362
4363
* ``DirState.set_state_from_inventory()`` needs to properly order
4364
based on split paths, not just string paths.
4365
(John Arbash Meinel, #115947)
4366
4367
* Let TestUIFactoy encode the password prompt with its own stdout.
4368
(Vincent Ladeuil, #110204)
4369
4370
* pycurl should take use the range header that takes the range hint
4371
into account.
4372
(Vincent Ladeuil, #112719)
4373
4374
* WorkingTree4.get_file_sha1 no longer raises an exception when invoked
4375
on a missing file. (Aaron Bentley, #118186)
4376
4377
* WorkingTree.remove works correctly with tree references, and when pwd is
4378
not the tree root. (Aaron Bentley)
4379
4380
* Merge no longer fails when a file is renamed in one tree and deleted
4381
in the other. (Aaron Bentley, #110279)
4382
4383
* ``revision-info`` now accepts dotted revnos, doesn't require a tree,
4384
and defaults to the last revision (Matthew Fuller, #90048)
4385
4386
* Tests no longer fail when BZR_REMOTE_PATH is set in the environment.
4387
(Daniel Watkins, #111958)
4388
4389
* ``bzr branch -r revid:foo`` can be used to branch any revision in
4390
your repository. (Previously Branch6 only supported revisions in your
4391
mainline). (John Arbash Meinel, #115343)

4393
bzr 0.16 2007-05-07
4394
--------------------
4395
4396
BUGFIXES:
4397
4398
* Handle when you have 2 directories with similar names, but one has a
4399
hyphen. (``'abc'`` versus ``'abc-2'``). The WT4._iter_changes
4400
iterator was using direct comparison and ``'abc/a'`` sorts after
4401
``'abc-2'``, but ``('abc', 'a')`` sorts before ``('abc-2',)``.
4402
(John Arbash Meinel, #111227)
4403
4404
* Handle when someone renames a file on disk without telling bzr.
4405
Previously we would report the first file as missing, but not show
4406
the new unknown file. (John Arbash Meinel, #111288)
4407
4408
* Avoid error when running hooks after pulling into or pushing from
4409
a branch bound to a smartserver branch. (Martin Pool, #111968)
4410
4411
IMPROVEMENTS:
4412
4413
* Move developer documentation to doc/developers/. This reduces clutter in
4414
the root of the source tree and allows HACKING to be split into multiple
4415
files. (Robert Collins, Alexander Belchenko)
4416
4417
* Clean up the ``WorkingTree4._iter_changes()`` internal loops as well as
4418
``DirState.update_entry()``. This optimizes the core logic for ``bzr
4419
diff`` and ``bzr status`` significantly improving the speed of
4420
both. (John Arbash Meinel)

4422
bzr 0.16rc2 2007-04-30
4423
-----------------------
4424
4425
BUGFIXES:
4426
4427
* Handle the case when you delete a file, and then rename another file
4428
on top of it. Also handle the case of ``bzr rm --keep foo``. ``bzr
4429
status`` should show the removed file and an unknown file in its
4430
place. (John Arbash Meinel, #109993)
4431
4432
* Bundles properly read and write revision properties that have an
4433
empty value. And when the value is not ASCII.
4434
(John Arbash Meinel, #109613)
4435
4436
* Fix the bzr commit message to be in text mode.
4437
(Alexander Belchenko, #110901)
4438
4439
* Also handle when you rename a file and create a file where it used
4440
to be. (John Arbash Meinel, #110256)
4441
4442
* ``WorkingTree4._iter_changes`` should not descend into unversioned
4443
directories. (John Arbash Meinel, #110399)
4444
4445
bzr 0.16rc1 2007-04-26
4446
-----------------------
4447
4448
NOTES WHEN UPGRADING:
4449
4450
* ``bzr remove`` and ``bzr rm`` will now remove the working file, if
4451
it could be recovered again.
4452
This has been done for consistency with svn and the unix rm command.
4453
The old ``remove`` behaviour has been retained in the new option
4454
``bzr remove --keep``, which will just stop versioning the file,
4455
but not delete it.
4456
``bzr remove --force`` have been added which will always delete the
4457
files.
4458
``bzr remove`` is also more verbose.
4459
(Marius Kruger, #82602)
4460
4461
IMPROVEMENTS:
4462
4463
* Merge directives can now be supplied as input to `merge` and `pull`,
4464
like bundles can. (Aaron Bentley)
4465
4466
* Sending the SIGQUIT signal to bzr, which can be done on Unix by
4467
pressing Control-Backslash, drops bzr into a debugger. Type ``'c'``
4468
to continue. This can be disabled by setting the environment variable
4469
``BZR_SIGQUIT_PDB=0``. (Martin Pool)
4470
4471
* selftest now supports --list-only to list tests instead of running
4472
them. (Ian Clatworthy)
4473
4474
* selftest now supports --exclude PATTERN (or -x PATTERN) to exclude
4475
tests with names that match that regular expression.
4476
(Ian Clatworthy, #102679)
4477
4478
* selftest now supports --randomize SEED to run tests in a random order.
4479
SEED is typically the value 'now' meaning 'use the current time'.
4480
(Ian Clatworthy, #102686)
4481
4482
* New option ``--fixes`` to commit, which stores bug fixing annotations as
4483
revision properties. Built-in support for Launchpad, Debian, Trac and
4484
Bugzilla bug trackers. (Jonathan Lange, James Henstridge, Robert Collins)
4485
4486
* New API, ``bzrlib.bugtracker.tracker_registry``, for adding support for
4487
other bug trackers to ``fixes``. (Jonathan Lange, James Henstridge,
4488
Robert Collins)
4489
4490
* ``selftest`` has new short options ``-f`` and ``-1``. (Martin
4491
Pool)
4492
4493
* ``bzrlib.tsort.MergeSorter`` optimizations. Change the inner loop
4494
into using local variables instead of going through ``self._var``.
4495
Improves the time to ``merge_sort`` a 10k revision graph by
4496
approximately 40% (~700->400ms). (John Arbash Meinel)
4497
4498
* ``make docs`` now creates a man page at ``man1/bzr.1`` fixing bug 107388.
4499
(Robert Collins)
4500
4501
* ``bzr help`` now provides cross references to other help topics using
4502
the _see_also facility on command classes. Likewise the bzr_man
4503
documentation, and the bzr.1 man page also include this information.
4504
(Robert Collins)
4505
4506
* Tags are now included in logs, that use the long log formatter.
4507
(Erik Bågfors, Alexander Belchenko)
4508
4509
* ``bzr help`` provides a clearer message when a help topic cannot be
4510
found. (Robert Collins, #107656)
4511
4512
* ``bzr help`` now accepts optional prefixes for command help. The help
4513
for all commands can now be found at ``bzr help commands/COMMANDNAME``
4514
as well as ``bzr help COMMANDNAME`` (which only works for commands
4515
where the name is not the same as a more general help topic).
4516
(Robert Collins)
4517
4518
* ``bzr help PLUGINNAME`` will now return the module docstring from the
4519
plugin PLUGINNAME. (Robert Collins, #50408)
4520
4521
* New help topic ``urlspec`` which lists the availables transports.
4522
(Goffredo Baroncelli)
4523
4524
* doc/server.txt updated to document the default bzr:// port
4525
and also update the blurb about the hpss' current status.
4526
(Robert Collins, #107125).
4527
4528
* ``bzr serve`` now listens on interface 0.0.0.0 by default, making it
4529
serve out to the local LAN (and anyone in the world that can reach the
4530
machine running ``bzr serve``. (Robert Collins, #98918)
4531
4532
* A new smart server protocol version has been added. It prefixes requests
4533
and responses with an explicit version identifier so that future protocol
4534
revisions can be dealt with gracefully. (Andrew Bennetts, Robert Collins)
4535
4536
* The bzr protocol version 2 indicates success or failure in every response
4537
without depending on particular commands encoding that consistently,
4538
allowing future client refactorings to be much more robust about error
4539
handling. (Robert Collins, Martin Pool, Andrew Bennetts)
4540
4541
* The smart protocol over HTTP client has been changed to always post to the
4542
same ``.bzr/smart`` URL under the original location when it can. This allows
4543
HTTP servers to only have to pass URLs ending in .bzr/smart to the smart
4544
server handler, and not arbitrary ``.bzr/*/smart`` URLs. (Andrew Bennetts)
4545
4546
* digest authentication is now supported for proxies and HTTP by the urllib
4547
based http implementation. Tested against Apache 2.0.55 and Squid
4548
2.6.5. Basic and digest authentication are handled coherently for HTTP
4549
and proxy: if the user is provided in the url (bzr command line for HTTP,
4550
proxy environment variables for proxies), the password is prompted for
4551
(only once). If the password is provided, it is taken into account. Once
4552
the first authentication is successful, all further authentication
4553
roundtrips are avoided by preventively setting the right authentication
4554
header(s).
4555
(Vincent Ladeuil).
4556
4557
INTERNALS:
4558
4559
* bzrlib API compatability with 0.8 has been dropped, cleaning up some
4560
code paths. (Robert Collins)
4561
4562
* Change the format of chroot urls so that they can be safely manipulated
4563
by generic url utilities without causing the resulting urls to have
4564
escaped the chroot. A side effect of this is that creating a chroot
4565
requires an explicit action using a ChrootServer.
4566
(Robert Collins, Andrew Bennetts)
4567
4568
* Deprecate ``Branch.get_root_id()`` because branches don't have root ids,
4569
rather than fixing bug #96847. (Aaron Bentley)
4570
4571
* ``WorkingTree.apply_inventory_delta`` provides a better alternative to
4572
``WorkingTree._write_inventory``. (Aaron Bentley)
4573
4574
* Convenience method ``TestCase.expectFailure`` ensures that known failures
4575
do not silently pass. (Aaron Bentley)
4576
4577
* ``Transport.local_abspath`` now raises ``NotLocalUrl`` rather than
4578
``TransportNotPossible``. (Martin Pool, Ian Clatworthy)
4579
4580
* New SmartServer hooks facility. There are two initial hooks documented
4581
in ``bzrlib.transport.smart.SmartServerHooks``. The two initial hooks allow
4582
plugins to execute code upon server startup and shutdown.
4583
(Robert Collins).
4584
4585
* SmartServer in standalone mode will now close its listening socket
4586
when it stops, rather than waiting for garbage collection. This primarily
4587
fixes test suite hangs when a test tries to connect to a shutdown server.
4588
It may also help improve behaviour when dealing with a server running
4589
on a specific port (rather than dynamically assigned ports).
4590
(Robert Collins)
4591
4592
* Move most SmartServer code into a new package, bzrlib/smart.
4593
bzrlib/transport/remote.py contains just the Transport classes that used
4594
to be in bzrlib/transport/smart.py. (Andrew Bennetts)
4595
4596
* urllib http implementation avoid roundtrips associated with
4597
401 (and 407) errors once the authentication succeeds.
4598
(Vincent Ladeuil).
4599
4600
* urlib http now supports querying the user for a proxy password if
4601
needed. Realm is shown in the prompt for both HTTP and proxy
4602
authentication when the user is required to type a password.
4603
(Vincent Ladeuil).
4604
4605
* Renamed SmartTransport (and subclasses like SmartTCPTransport) to
4606
RemoteTransport (and subclasses to RemoteTCPTransport, etc). This is more
4607
consistent with its new home in ``bzrlib/transport/remote.py``, and because
4608
it's not really a "smart" transport, just one that does file operations
4609
via remote procedure calls. (Andrew Bennetts)
4610
4611
* The ``lock_write`` method of ``LockableFiles``, ``Repository`` and
4612
``Branch`` now accept a ``token`` keyword argument, so that separate
4613
instances of those objects can share a lock if it has the right token.
4614
(Andrew Bennetts, Robert Collins)
4615
4616
* New method ``get_branch_reference`` on ``BzrDir`` allows the detection of
4617
branch references - which the smart server component needs.
4618
4619
* The Repository API ``make_working_trees`` is now permitted to return
4620
False when ``set_make_working_trees`` is not implemented - previously
4621
an unimplemented ``set_make_working_trees`` implied the result True
4622
from ``make_working_trees``. This has been changed to accomodate the
4623
smart server, where it does not make sense (at this point) to ever
4624
make working trees by default. (Robert Collins)
4625
4626
* Command objects can now declare related help topics by having _see_also
4627
set to a list of related topic. (Robert Collins)
4628
4629
* ``bzrlib.help`` now delegates to the Command class for Command specific
4630
help. (Robert Collins)
4631
4632
* New class ``TransportListRegistry``, derived from the Registry class, which
4633
simplifies tracking the available Transports. (Goffredo Baroncelli)
4634
4635
* New function ``Branch.get_revision_id_to_revno_map`` which will
4636
return a dictionary mapping revision ids to dotted revnos. Since
4637
dotted revnos are defined in the context of the branch tip, it makes
4638
sense to generate them from a ``Branch`` object.
4639
(John Arbash Meinel)
4640
4641
* Fix the 'Unprintable error' message display to use the repr of the
4642
exception that prevented printing the error because the str value
4643
for it is often not useful in debugging (e.g. KeyError('foo') has a
4644
str() of 'foo' but a repr of 'KeyError('foo')' which is much more
4645
useful. (Robert Collins)
4646
4647
* ``urlutils.normalize_url`` now unescapes unreserved characters, such as "~".
4648
(Andrew Bennetts)

4650
BUGFIXES:
4651
4652
* Don't fail bundle selftest if email has 'two' embedded.
4653
(Ian Clatworthy, #98510)
4654
4655
* Remove ``--verbose`` from ``bzr bundle``. It didn't work anyway.
4656
(Robert Widhopf-Fenk, #98591)
4657
4658
* Remove ``--basis`` from the checkout/branch commands - it didn't work
4659
properly and is no longer beneficial.
4660
(Robert Collins, #53675, #43486)
4661
4662
* Don't produce encoding error when adding duplicate files.
4663
(Aaron Bentley)
4664
4665
* Fix ``bzr log <file>`` so it only logs the revisions that changed
4666
the file, and does it faster.
4667
(Kent Gibson, John Arbash Meinel, #51980, #69477)
4668
4669
* Fix ``InterDirstateTre._iter_changes`` to handle when we come across
4670
an empty versioned directory, which now has files in it.
4671
(John Arbash Meinel, #104257)
4672
4673
* Teach ``common_ancestor`` to shortcut when the tip of one branch is
4674
inside the ancestry of the other. Saves a lot of graph processing
4675
(with an ancestry of 16k revisions, ``bzr merge ../already-merged``
4676
changes from 2m10s to 13s). (John Arbash Meinel, #103757)
4677
4678
* Fix ``show_diff_trees`` to handle the case when a file is modified,
4679
and the containing directory is renamed. (The file path is different
4680
in this versus base, but it isn't marked as a rename).
4681
(John Arbash Meinel, #103870)
4682
4683
* FTP now works even when the FTP server does not support atomic rename.
4684
(Aaron Bentley, #89436)
4685
4686
* Correct handling in bundles and merge directives of timezones with
4687
that are not an integer number of hours offset from UTC. Always
4688
represent the epoch time in UTC to avoid problems with formatting
4689
earlier times on win32. (Martin Pool, Alexander Belchenko, John
4690
Arbash Meinel)
4691
4692
* Typo in the help for ``register-branch`` fixed. (Robert Collins, #96770)
4693
4694
* "dirstate" and "dirstate-tags" formats now produce branches compatible
4695
with old versions of bzr. (Aaron Bentley, #107168))
4696
4697
* Handle moving a directory when children have been added, removed,
4698
and renamed. (John Arbash Meinel, #105479)
4699
4700
* Don't preventively use basic authentication for proxy before receiving a
4701
407 error. Otherwise people willing to use other authentication schemes
4702
may expose their password in the clear (or nearly). This add one
4703
roundtrip in case basic authentication should be used, but plug the
4704
security hole.
4705
(Vincent Ladeuil)
4706
4707
* Handle http and proxy digest authentication.
4708
(Vincent Ladeuil, #94034).
4709
4710
TESTING:
4711
4712
* Added ``bzrlib.strace.strace`` which will strace a single callable and
4713
return a StraceResult object which contains just the syscalls involved
4714
in running it. (Robert Collins)
4715
4716
* New test method ``reduceLockdirTimeout`` to drop the default (ui-centric)
4717
default time down to one suitable for tests. (Andrew Bennetts)
4718
4719
* Add new ``vfs_transport_factory`` attribute on tests which provides the
4720
common vfs backing for both the readonly and readwrite transports.
4721
This allows the RemoteObject tests to back onto local disk or memory,
4722
and use the existing ``transport_server`` attribute all tests know about
4723
to be the smart server transport. This in turn allows tests to
4724
differentiate between 'transport to access the branch', and
4725
'transport which is a VFS' - which matters in Remote* tests.
4726
(Robert Collins, Andrew Bennetts)
4727
4728
* The ``make_branch_and_tree`` method for tests will now create a
4729
lightweight checkout for the tree if the ``vfs_transport_factory`` is not
4730
a LocalURLServer. (Robert Collins, Andrew Bennetts)
4731
4732
* Branch implementation tests have been audited to ensure that all urls
4733
passed to Branch APIs use proper urls, except when local-disk paths
4734
are intended. This is so that tests correctly access the test transport
4735
which is often not equivalent to local disk in Remote* tests. As part
4736
of this many tests were adjusted to remove dependencies on local disk
4737
access.
4738
(Robert Collins, Andrew Bennetts)
4739
4740
* Mark bzrlib.tests and bzrlib.tests.TestUtil as providing assertFOO helper
4741
functions by adding a ``__unittest`` global attribute. (Robert Collins,
4742
Andrew Bennetts, Martin Pool, Jonathan Lange)
4743
4744
* Refactored proxy and authentication handling to simplify the
4745
implementation of new auth schemes for both http and proxy.

4763
CHANGES:
4764
4765
* A warning is now displayed when opening working trees in older
4766
formats, to encourage people to upgrade to WorkingTreeFormat4.
4767
(Martin Pool)
4768
4769
IMPROVEMENTS:
4770
4771
* HTTP redirections are now taken into account when a branch (or a
4772
bundle) is accessed for the first time. A message is issued at each
4773
redirection to inform the user. In the past, http redirections were
4774
silently followed for each request which significantly degraded the
4775
performances. The http redirections are not followed anymore by
4776
default, instead a RedirectRequested exception is raised. For bzrlib
4777
users needing to follow http redirections anyway,
4778
``bzrlib.transport.do_catching_redirections`` provide an easy transition
4779
path. (vila)
4780
4781
INTERNALS:
4782
4783
* Added ``ReadLock.temporary_write_lock()`` to allow upgrading an OS read
4784
lock to an OS write lock. Linux can do this without unlocking, Win32
4785
needs to unlock in between. (John Arbash Meinel)
4786
4787
* New parameter ``recommend_upgrade`` to ``BzrDir.open_workingtree``
4788
to silence (when false) warnings about opening old formats.
4789
(Martin Pool)
4790
4791
* Fix minor performance regression with bzr-0.15 on pre-dirstate
4792
trees. (We were reading the working inventory too many times).
4793
(John Arbash Meinel)
4794
4795
* Remove ``Branch.get_transaction()`` in favour of a simple cache of
4796
``revision_history``. Branch subclasses should override
4797
``_gen_revision_history`` rather than ``revision_history`` to make use of
4798
this cache, and call ``_clear_revision_history_cache`` and
4799
``_cache_revision_history`` at appropriate times. (Andrew Bennetts)
4800
4801
BUGFIXES:
4802
4803
* Take ``smtp_server`` from user config into account.
4804
(vila, #92195)
4805
4806
* Restore Unicode filename handling for versioned and unversioned files.
4807
(John Arbash Meinel, #92608)
4808
4809
* Don't fail during ``bzr commit`` if a file is marked removed, and
4810
the containing directory is auto-removed. (John Arbash Meinel, #93681)
4811
4812
* ``bzr status FILENAME`` failed on Windows because of an uncommon
4813
errno. (``ERROR_DIRECTORY == 267 != ENOTDIR``).
4814
(Wouter van Heyst, John Arbash Meinel, #90819)
4815
4816
* ``bzr checkout source`` should create a local branch in the same
4817
format as source. (John Arbash Meinel, #93854)
4818
4819
* ``bzr commit`` with a kind change was failing to update the
4820
last-changed-revision for directories. The
4821
InventoryDirectory._unchanged only looked at the ``parent_id`` and name,
4822
ignoring the fact that the kind could have changed, too.
4823
(John Arbash Meinel, #90111)
4824
4825
* ``bzr mv dir/subdir other`` was incorrectly updating files inside
4826
the directory. So that there was a chance it would break commit,
4827
etc. (John Arbash Meinel, #94037)
4828
4829
* Correctly handles mutiple permanent http redirections.

4833
-----------------------
4834
4835
NOTES WHEN UPGRADING:
4836
4837
* Release 0.15rc2 of bzr changes the ``bzr init-repo`` command to
4838
default to ``--trees`` instead of ``--no-trees``.
4839
Existing shared repositories are not affected.
4840
4841
IMPROVEMENTS:
4842
4843
* New ``merge-directive`` command to generate machine- and human-readable
4844
merge requests. (Aaron Bentley)
4845
4846
* New ``submit:`` revision specifier makes it easy to diff against the
4847
common ancestor with the submit location (Aaron Bentley)
4848
4849
* Added support for Putty's SSH implementation. (Dmitry Vasiliev)
4850
4851
* Added ``bzr status --versioned`` to report only versioned files,
4852
not unknowns. (Kent Gibson)
4853
4854
* Merge now autodetects the correct line-ending style for its conflict
4855
markers. (Aaron Bentley)
4856
4857
INTERNALS:
4858
4859
* Refactored SSH vendor registration into SSHVendorManager class.
4860
(Dmitry Vasiliev)
4861
4862
BUGFIXES:
4863
4864
* New ``--numbered-dirs`` option to ``bzr selftest`` to use
4865
numbered dirs for TestCaseInTempDir. This is default behavior
4866
on Windows. Anyone can force named dirs on Windows
4867
with ``--no-numbered-dirs``. (Alexander Belchenko)
4868
4869
* Fix ``RevisionSpec_revid`` to handle the Unicode strings passed in
4870
from the command line. (Marien Zwart, #90501)
4871
4872
* Fix ``TreeTransform._iter_changes`` when both the source and
4873
destination are missing. (Aaron Bentley, #88842)
4874
4875
* Fix commit of merges with symlinks in dirstate trees.
4876
(Marien Zwart)
4877
4878
* Switch the ``bzr init-repo`` default from --no-trees to --trees.

4882
bzr 0.15rc1 2007-03-07
4883
-----------------------
4884
4885
SURPRISES:
4886
4887
* The default disk format has changed. Please run 'bzr upgrade' in your
4888
working trees to upgrade. This new default is compatible for network
4889
operations, but not for local operations. That is, if you have two
4890
versions of bzr installed locally, after upgrading you can only use the
4891
bzr 0.15 version. This new default does not enable tags or nested-trees
4892
as they are incompatible with bzr versions before 0.15 over the network.
4893
4894
* For users of bzrlib: Two major changes have been made to the working tree
4895
api in bzrlib. The first is that many methods and attributes, including
4896
the inventory attribute, are no longer valid for use until one of
4897
``lock_read``/``lock_write``/``lock_tree_write`` has been called,
4898
and become invalid again after unlock is called. This has been done
4899
to improve performance and correctness as part of the dirstate
4900
development.
4901
(Robert Collins, John A Meinel, Martin Pool, and others).
4902
4903
* For users of bzrlib: The attribute 'tree.inventory' should be considered
4904
readonly. Previously it was possible to directly alter this attribute, or
4905
its contents, and have the tree notice this. This has been made
4906
unsupported - it may work in some tree formats, but in the newer dirstate
4907
format such actions will have no effect and will be ignored, or even
4908
cause assertions. All operations possible can still be carried out by a
4909
combination of the tree API, and the bzrlib.transform API. (Robert
4910
Collins, John A Meinel, Martin Pool, and others).
4911
4912
IMPROVEMENTS:
4913
4914
* Support for OS Windows 98. Also .bzr.log on any windows system
4915
saved in My Documents folder. (Alexander Belchenko)
4916
4917
* ``bzr mv`` enhanced to support already moved files.
4918
In the past the mv command would have failed if the source file doesn't
4919
exist. In this situation ``bzr mv`` would now detect that the file has
4920
already moved and update the repository accordingly, if the target file
4921
does exist.
4922
A new option ``--after`` has been added so that if two files already
4923
exist, you could notify Bazaar that you have moved a (versioned) file
4924
and replaced it with another. Thus in this case ``bzr move --after``
4925
will only update the Bazaar identifier.
4926
(Steffen Eichenberg, Marius Kruger)
4927
4928
* ``ls`` now works on treeless branches and remote branches.
4929
(Aaron Bentley)
4930
4931
* ``bzr help global-options`` describes the global options.
4932
(Aaron Bentley)
4933
4934
* ``bzr pull --overwrite`` will now correctly overwrite checkouts.
4935
(Robert Collins)
4936
4937
* Files are now allowed to change kind (e.g. from file to symlink).
4938
Supported by ``commit``, ``revert`` and ``status``
4939
(Aaron Bentley)
4940
4941
* ``inventory`` and ``unknowns`` hidden in favour of ``ls``
4942
(Aaron Bentley)
4943
4944
* ``bzr help checkouts`` descibes what checkouts are and some possible
4945
uses of them. (James Westby, Aaron Bentley)
4946
4947
* A new ``-d`` option to push, pull and merge overrides the default
4948
directory. (Martin Pool)
4949
4950
* Branch format 6: smaller, and potentially faster than format 5. Supports
4951
``append_history_only`` mode, where the log view and revnos do not change,
4952
except by being added to. Stores policy settings in
4953
".bzr/branch/branch.conf".
4954
4955
* ``append_only`` branches: Format 6 branches may be configured so that log
4956
view and revnos are always consistent. Either create the branch using
4957
"bzr init --append-revisions-only" or edit the config file as descriped
4958
in docs/configuration.txt.
4959
4960
* rebind: Format 6 branches retain the last-used bind location, so if you
4961
"bzr unbind", you can "bzr bind" to bind to the previously-selected
4962
bind location.
4963
4964
* Builtin tags support, created and deleted by the ``tag`` command and
4965
stored in the branch. Tags can be accessed with the revisionspec
4966
``-rtag:``, and listed with ``bzr tags``. Tags are not versioned
4967
at present. Tags require a network incompatible upgrade. To perform this
4968
upgrade, run ``bzr upgrade --dirstate-tags`` in your branch and
4969
repositories. (Martin Pool)
4970
4971
* The ``bzr://`` transport now has a well-known port number, 4155,
4972
which it will use by default. (Andrew Bennetts, Martin Pool)
4973
4974
* Bazaar now looks for user-installed plugins before looking for site-wide
4975
plugins. (Jonathan Lange)
4976
4977
* ``bzr resolve`` now detects and marks resolved text conflicts.
4978
(Aaron Bentley)
4979
4980
INTERNALS:
4981
4982
* Internally revision ids and file ids are now passed around as utf-8
4983
bytestrings, rather than treating them as Unicode strings. This has
4984
performance benefits for Knits, since we no longer need to decode the
4985
revision id for each line of content, nor for each entry in the index.
4986
This will also help with the future dirstate format.
4987
(John Arbash Meinel)
4988
4989
* Reserved ids (any revision-id ending in a colon) are rejected by
4990
versionedfiles, repositories, branches, and working trees
4991
(Aaron Bentley)
4992
4993
* Minor performance improvement by not creating a ProgressBar for
4994
every KnitIndex we create. (about 90ms for a bzr.dev tree)
4995
(John Arbash Meinel)
4996
4997
* New easier to use Branch hooks facility. There are five initial hooks,
4998
all documented in bzrlib.branch.BranchHooks.__init__ - ``'set_rh'``,
4999
``'post_push'``, ``'post_pull'``, ``'post_commit'``,
5000
``'post_uncommit'``. These hooks fire after the matching operation
5001
on a branch has taken place, and were originally added for the
5002
branchrss plugin. (Robert Collins)
5003
5004
* New method ``Branch.push()`` which should be used when pushing from a
5005
branch as it makes performance and policy decisions to match the UI
5006
level command ``push``. (Robert Collins).
5007
5008
* Add a new method ``Tree.revision_tree`` which allows access to cached
5009
trees for arbitrary revisions. This allows the in development dirstate
5010
tree format to provide access to the callers to cached copies of
5011
inventory data which are cheaper to access than inventories from the
5012
repository.
5013
(Robert Collins, Martin Pool)
5014
5015
* New ``Branch.last_revision_info`` method, this is being done to allow
5016
optimization of requests for both the number of revisions and the last
5017
revision of a branch with smartservers and potentially future branch
5018
formats. (Wouter van Heyst, Robert Collins)
5019
5020
* Allow ``'import bzrlib.plugins.NAME'`` to work when the plugin NAME has not
5021
yet been loaded by ``load_plugins()``. This allows plugins to depend on each
5022
other for code reuse without requiring users to perform file-renaming
5023
gymnastics. (Robert Collins)
5024
5025
* New Repository method ``'gather_stats'`` for statistic data collection.
5026
This is expected to grow to cover a number of related uses mainly
5027
related to bzr info. (Robert Collins)
5028
5029
* Log formatters are now managed with a registry.
5030
``log.register_formatter`` continues to work, but callers accessing
5031
the FORMATTERS dictionary directly will not.
5032
5033
* Allow a start message to be passed to the ``edit_commit_message``
5034
function. This will be placed in the message offered to the user
5035
for editing above the separator. It allows a template commit message
5036
to be used more easily. (James Westby)
5037
5038
* ``GPGStrategy.sign()`` will now raise ``BzrBadParameterUnicode`` if
5039
you pass a Unicode string rather than an 8-bit string. Callers need
5040
to be updated to encode first. (John Arbash Meinel)
5041
5042
* Branch.push, pull, merge now return Result objects with information
5043
about what happened, rather than a scattering of various methods. These
5044
are also passed to the post hooks. (Martin Pool)
5045
5046
* File formats and architecture is in place for managing a forest of trees
5047
in bzr, and splitting up existing trees into smaller subtrees, and
5048
finally joining trees to make a larger tree. This is the first iteration
5049
of this support, and the user-facing aspects still require substantial
5050
work. If you wish to experiment with it, use ``bzr upgrade
5051
--dirstate-with-subtree`` in your working trees and repositories.
5052
You can use the hidden commands ``split`` and ``join`` and to create
5053
and manipulate nested trees, but please consider using the nested-trees
5054
branch, which contains substantial UI improvements, instead.
5055
http://code.aaronbentley.com/bzr/bzrrepo/nested-trees/
5056
(Aaron Bentley, Martin Pool, Robert Collins).
5057
5058
BUGFIXES:
5059
5060
* ``bzr annotate`` now uses dotted revnos from the viewpoint of the
5061
branch, rather than the last changed revision of the file.
5062
(John Arbash Meinel, #82158)
5063
5064
* Lock operations no longer hang if they encounter a permission problem.

* ``bzr push`` can resume a push that was canceled before it finished.
5068
Also, it can push even if the target directory exists if you supply
5069
the ``--use-existing-dir`` flag.
5070
(John Arbash Meinel, #30576, #45504)
5071
5072
* Fix http proxy authentication when user and an optional
5073
password appears in the ``*_proxy`` vars. (Vincent Ladeuil,
5074
#83954).
5075
5076
* ``bzr log branch/file`` works for local treeless branches
5077
(Aaron Bentley, #84247)
5078
5079
* Fix problem with UNC paths on Windows 98. (Alexander Belchenko, #84728)
5080
5081
* Searching location of CA bundle for PyCurl in env variable
5082
(``CURL_CA_BUNDLE``), and on win32 along the PATH.
5083
(Alexander Belchenko, #82086)
5084
5085
* ``bzr init`` works with unicode argument LOCATION.
5086
(Alexander Belchenko, #85599)
5087
5088
* Raise ``DependencyNotPresent`` if pycurl do not support https.
5089
(Vincent Ladeuil, #85305)
5090
5091
* Invalid proxy env variables should not cause a traceback.
5092
(Vincent Ladeuil, #87765)
5093
5094
* Ignore patterns normalised to use '/' path separator.
5095
(Kent Gibson, #86451)
5096
5097
* bzr rocks. It sure does! Fix case. (Vincent Ladeuil, #78026)
5098
5099
* Fix bzrtools shelve command for removed lines beginning with "--"
5100
(Johan Dahlberg, #75577)
5101
5102
TESTING:
5103
5104
* New ``--first`` option to ``bzr selftest`` to run specified tests
5105
before the rest of the suite. (Martin Pool)

--------------------
5110
5111
IMPROVEMENTS:
5112
5113
* ``bzr help global-options`` describes the global options. (Aaron Bentley)
5114
5115
BUG FIXES:
5116
5117
* Skip documentation generation tests if the tools to do so are not
5118
available. Fixes running selftest for installled copies of bzr.
5119
(John Arbash Meinel, #80330)
5120
5121
* Fix the code that discovers whether bzr is being run from it's
5122
working tree to handle the case when it isn't but the directory
5123
it is in is below a repository. (James Westby, #77306)

5125
5126
bzr 0.14rc1 2007-01-16
5127
-----------------------
5128
5129
IMPROVEMENTS:
5130
5131
* New connection: ``bzr+http://`` which supports tunnelling the smart
5132
protocol over an HTTP connection. If writing is enabled on the bzr
5133
server, then you can write over the http connection.
5134
(Andrew Bennetts, John Arbash Meinel)
5135
5136
* Aliases now support quotation marks, so they can contain whitespace
5137
(Marius Kruger)
5138
5139
* PyCurlTransport now use a single curl object. By specifying explicitly
5140
the 'Range' header, we avoid the need to use two different curl objects
5141
(and two connections to the same server). (Vincent Ladeuil)
5142
5143
* ``bzr commit`` does not prompt for a message until it is very likely to
5144
succeed. (Aaron Bentley)
5145
5146
* ``bzr conflicts`` now takes --text to list pathnames of text conflicts
5147
(Aaron Bentley)
5148
5149
* Fix ``iter_lines_added_or_present_in_versions`` to use a set instead
5150
of a list while checking if a revision id was requested. Takes 10s
5151
off of the ``fileids_affected_by_revision_ids`` time, which is 10s
5152
of the ``bzr branch`` time. Also improve ``fileids_...`` time by
5153
filtering lines with a regex rather than multiple ``str.find()``
5154
calls. (saves another 300ms) (John Arbash Meinel)
5155
5156
* Policy can be set for each configuration key. This allows keys to be
5157
inherited properly across configuration entries. For example, this
5158
should enable you to do::
5159
5160
[/home/user/project]
5161
push_location = sftp://host/srv/project/
5162
push_location:policy = appendpath
5163
5164
And then a branch like ``/home/user/project/mybranch`` should get an
5165
automatic push location of ``sftp://host/srv/project/mybranch``.
5166
(James Henstridge)
5167
5168
* Added ``bzr status --short`` to make status report svn style flags
5169
for each file. For example::
5170
5171
$ bzr status --short
5172
A foo
5173
A bar
5174
D baz
5175
? wooley
5176
5177
* 'bzr selftest --clean-output' allows easily clean temporary tests
5178
directories without running tests. (Alexander Belchenko)
5179
5180
* ``bzr help hidden-commands`` lists all hidden commands. (Aaron Bentley)
5181
5182
* ``bzr merge`` now has an option ``--pull`` to fall back to pull if
5183
local is fully merged into remote. (Jan Hudec)
5184
5185
* ``bzr help formats`` describes available directory formats. (Aaron Bentley)
5186
5187
INTERNALS:
5188
5189
* A few tweaks directly to ``fileids_affected_by_revision_ids`` to
5190
help speed up processing, as well allowing to extract unannotated
5191
lines. Between the two ``fileids_affected_by_revision_ids`` is
5192
improved by approx 10%. (John Arbash Meinel)
5193
5194
* Change Revision serialization to only write out millisecond
5195
resolution. Rather than expecting floating point serialization to
5196
preserve more resolution than we need. (Henri Weichers, Martin Pool)
5197
5198
* Test suite ends cleanly on Windows. (Vincent Ladeuil)
5199
5200
* When ``encoding_type`` attribute of class Command is equal to 'exact',
5201
force sys.stdout to be a binary stream on Windows, and therefore
5202
keep exact line-endings (without LF -> CRLF conversion).
5203
(Alexander Belchenko)
5204
5205
* Single-letter short options are no longer globally declared. (Martin
5206
Pool)
5207
5208
* Before using detected user/terminal encoding bzr should check
5209
that Python has corresponding codec. (Alexander Belchenko)
5210
5211
* Formats for end-user selection are provided via a FormatRegistry (Aaron Bentley)
5212
5213
BUG FIXES:
5214
5215
* ``bzr missing --verbose`` was showing adds/removals in the wrong
5216
direction. (John Arbash Meinel)
5217
5218
* ``bzr annotate`` now defaults to showing dotted revnos for merged
5219
revisions. It cuts them off at a depth of 12 characters, but you can
5220
supply ``--long`` to see the full number. You can also use
5221
``--show-ids`` to display the original revision ids, rather than
5222
revision numbers and committer names. (John Arbash Meinel, #75637)
5223
5224
* bzr now supports Win32 UNC path (e.g. ``\HOST\path``.
5225
(Alexander Belchenko, #57869)
5226
5227
* Win32-specific: output of cat, bundle and diff commands don't mangle
5228
line-endings (Alexander Belchenko, #55276)
5229
5230
* Replace broken fnmatch based ignore pattern matching with custom pattern
5231
matcher.
5232
(Kent Gibson, Jan Hudec #57637)
5233
5234
* pycurl and urllib can detect short reads at different places. Update
5235
the test suite to test more cases. Also detect http error code 416
5236
which was raised for that specific bug. Also enhance the urllib
5237
robustness by detecting invalid ranges (and pycurl's one by detecting
5238
short reads during the initial GET). (Vincent Ladeuil, #73948)
5239
5240
* The urllib connection sharing interacts badly with urllib2
5241
proxy setting (the connections didn't go thru the proxy
5242
anymore). Defining a proper ProxyHandler solves the
5243
problem. (Vincent Ladeuil, #74759)
5244
5245
* Use urlutils to generate relative URLs, not osutils
5246
(Aaron Bentley, #76229)
5247
5248
* ``bzr status`` in a readonly directory should work without giving
5249
lots of errors. (John Arbash Meinel, #76299)
5250
5251
* Mention the revisionspec topic for the revision option help.
5252
(Wouter van Heyst, #31663)
5253
5254
* Allow plugins import from zip archives.

5266
IMPROVEMENTS:
5267
5268
* New command ``bzr remove-tree`` allows the removal of the working
5269
tree from a branch.
5270
(Daniel Silverstone)
5271
5272
* urllib uses shared keep-alive connections, so http
5273
operations are substantially faster.
5274
(Vincent Ladeuil, #53654)
5275
5276
* ``bzr export`` allows an optional branch parameter, to export a bzr
5277
tree from some other url. For example:
5278
``bzr export bzr.tar.gz http://bazaar-vcs.org/bzr/bzr.dev``
5279
(Daniel Silverstone)
5280
5281
* Added ``bzr help topics`` to the bzr help system. This gives a
5282
location for general information, outside of a specific command.
5283
This includes updates for ``bzr help revisionspec`` the first topic
5284
included. (Goffredo Baroncelli, John Arbash Meinel, #42714)
5285
5286
* WSGI-compatible HTTP smart server. See ``doc/http_smart_server.txt``.
5287
(Andrew Bennetts)
5288
5289
* Knit files will now cache full texts only when the size of the
5290
deltas is as large as the size of the fulltext. (Or after 200
5291
deltas, whichever comes first). This has the most benefit on large
5292
files with small changes, such as the inventory for a large project.
5293
(eg For a project with 2500 files, and 7500 revisions, it changes
5294
the size of inventory.knit from 11MB to 5.4MB) (John Arbash Meinel)
5295
5296
INTERNALS:
5297
5298
* New -D option given before the command line turns on debugging output
5299
for particular areas. -Derror shows tracebacks on all errors.
5300
(Martin Pool)
5301
5302
* Clean up ``bzr selftest --benchmark bundle`` to correct an import,
5303
and remove benchmarks that take longer than 10min to run.
5304
(John Arbash Meinel)
5305
5306
* Use ``time.time()`` instead of ``time.clock()`` to decide on
5307
progress throttling. Because ``time.clock()`` is actually CPU time,
5308
so over a high-latency connection, too many updates get throttled.
5309
(John Arbash Meinel)
5310
5311
* ``MemoryTransport.list_dir()`` would strip the first character for
5312
files or directories in root directory. (John Arbash Meinel)
5313
5314
* New method ``get_branch_reference`` on 'BzrDir' allows the detection of
5315
branch references - which the smart server component needs.
5316
5317
* New ``ChrootTransportDecorator``, accessible via the ``chroot+`` url
5318
prefix. It disallows any access to locations above a set URL. (Andrew
5319
Bennetts)
5320
5321
BUG FIXES:
5322
5323
* Now ``_KnitIndex`` properly decode revision ids when loading index data.
5324
And optimize the knit index parsing code.
5325
(Dmitry Vasiliev, John Arbash Meinel)
5326
5327
* ``bzrlib/bzrdir.py`` was directly referencing ``bzrlib.workingtree``,
5328
without importing it. This prevented ``bzr upgrade`` from working
5329
unless a plugin already imported ``bzrlib.workingtree``
5330
(John Arbash Meinel, #70716)
5331
5332
* Suppress the traceback on invalid URLs (Vincent Ladeuil, #70803).
5333
5334
* Give nicer error message when an http server returns a 403
5335
error code. (Vincent Ladeuil, #57644).
5336
5337
* When a multi-range http GET request fails, try a single
5338
range one. If it fails too, forget about ranges. Remember that until
5339
the death of the transport and propagates that to the clones.
5340
(Vincent Ladeuil, #62276, #62029).
5341
5342
* Handles user/passwords supplied in url from command
5343
line (for the urllib implementation). Don't request already
5344
known passwords (Vincent Ladeuil, #42383, #44647, #48527)
5345
5346
* ``_KnitIndex.add_versions()`` dictionary compresses revision ids as they
5347
are added. This fixes bug where fetching remote revisions records
5348
them as full references rather than integers.
5349
(John Arbash Meinel, #64789)
5350
5351
* ``bzr ignore`` strips trailing slashes in patterns.
5352
Also ``bzr ignore`` rejects absolute paths. (Kent Gibson, #4559)
5353
5354
* ``bzr ignore`` takes multiple arguments. (Cheuksan Edward Wang, #29488)
5355
5356
* mv correctly handles paths that traverse symlinks.
5357
(Aaron Bentley, #66964)
5358
5359
* Give nicer looking error messages when failing to connect over ssh.
5360
(John Arbash Meinel, #49172)
5361
5362
* Pushing to a remote branch does not currently update the remote working
5363
tree. After a remote push, ``bzr status`` and ``bzr diff`` on the remote
5364
machine now show that the working tree is out of date.
5365
(Cheuksan Edward Wang #48136)
5366
5367
* Use patiencediff instead of difflib for determining deltas to insert
5368
into knits. This avoids the O(N^3) behavior of difflib. Patience
5369
diff should be O(N^2). (Cheuksan Edward Wang, #65714)
5370
5371
* Running ``bzr log`` on nonexistent file gives an error instead of the
5372
entire log history. (Cheuksan Edward Wang #50793)
5373
5374
* ``bzr cat`` can look up contents of removed or renamed files. If the
5375
pathname is ambiguous, i.e. the files in the old and new trees have
5376
different id's, the default is the file in the new tree. The user can
5377
use "--name-from-revision" to select the file in the old tree.
5378
(Cheuksan Edward Wang, #30190)
5379
5380
TESTING:
5381
5382
* TestingHTTPRequestHandler really handles the Range header
5383
(previously it was ignoring it and returning the whole file,).

bzr 0.12 2006-10-30
5386
--------------------
5387
5388
INTERNALS:
5389
5390
* Clean up ``bzr selftest --benchmark bundle`` to correct an import,
5391
and remove benchmarks that take longer than 10min to run.
5392
(John Arbash Meinel)
5393
5394
bzr 0.12rc1 2006-10-23
5395
-----------------------
5396
5397
IMPROVEMENTS:
5398
5399
* ``bzr log`` now shows dotted-decimal revision numbers for all revisions,
5400
rather than just showing a decimal revision number for revisions on the
5401
mainline. These revision numbers are not yet accepted as input into bzr
5402
commands such as log, diff etc. (Robert Collins)
5403
5404
* revisions can now be specified using dotted-decimal revision numbers.
5405
For instance, ``bzr diff -r 1.2.1..1.2.3``. (Robert Collins)
5406
5407
* ``bzr help commands`` output is now shorter (Aaron Bentley)
5408
5409
* ``bzr`` now uses lazy importing to reduce the startup time. This has
5410
a moderate effect on lots of actions, especially ones that have
5411
little to do. For example ``bzr rocks`` time is down to 116ms from
5412
283ms. (John Arbash Meinel)
5413
5414
* New Registry class to provide name-to-object registry-like support,
5415
for example for schemes where plugins can register new classes to
5416
do certain tasks (e.g. log formatters). Also provides lazy registration
5417
to allow modules to be loaded on request.
5418
(John Arbash Meinel, Adeodato Simó)
5419
5420
API INCOMPATABILITY:
5421
5422
* LogFormatter subclasses show now expect the 'revno' parameter to
5423
show() to be a string rather than an int. (Robert Collins)
5424
5425
INTERNALS:
5426
5427
* ``TestCase.run_bzr``, ``run_bzr_captured``, and ``run_bzr_subprocess``
5428
can take a ``working_dir='foo'`` parameter, which will change directory
5429
for the command. (John Arbash Meinel)
5430
5431
* ``bzrlib.lazy_regex.lazy_compile`` can be used to create a proxy
5432
around a regex, which defers compilation until first use.
5433
(John Arbash Meinel)
5434
5435
* ``TestCase.run_bzr_subprocess`` defaults to supplying the
5436
``--no-plugins`` parameter to ensure test reproducability, and avoid
5437
problems with system-wide installed plugins. (John Arbash Meinel)
5438
5439
* Unique tree root ids are now supported. Newly created trees still
5440
use the common root id for compatibility with bzr versions before 0.12.
5441
(Aaron Bentley)
5442
5443
* ``WorkingTree.set_root_id(None)`` is now deprecated. Please
5444
pass in ``inventory.ROOT_ID`` if you want the default root id value.
5445
(Robert Collins, John Arbash Meinel)
5446
5447
* New method ``WorkingTree.flush()`` which will write the current memory
5448
inventory out to disk. At the same time, ``read_working_inventory`` will
5449
no longer trash the current tree inventory if it has been modified within
5450
the current lock, and the tree will now ``flush()`` automatically on
5451
``unlock()``. ``WorkingTree.set_root_id()`` has been updated to take
5452
advantage of this functionality. (Robert Collins, John Arbash Meinel)
5453
5454
* ``bzrlib.tsort.merge_sorted`` now accepts ``generate_revnos``. This
5455
parameter will cause it to add another column to its output, which
5456
contains the dotted-decimal revno for each revision, as a tuple.
5457
(Robert Collins)
5458
5459
* ``LogFormatter.show_merge`` is deprecated in favour of
5460
``LogFormatter.show_merge_revno``. (Robert Collins)
5461
5462
BUG FIXES:
5463
5464
* Avoid circular imports by creating a deprecated function for
5465
``bzrlib.tree.RevisionTree``. Callers should have been using
5466
``bzrlib.revisontree.RevisionTree`` anyway. (John Arbash Meinel,
5467
#63360, #66349)
5468
5469
* Don't use ``socket.MSG_WAITALL`` as it doesn't exist on all
5470
platforms. (Martin Pool, #66356)
5471
5472
* Don't require ``Content-Type`` in range responses. Assume they are a
5473
single range if ``Content-Type`` does not exist.
5474
(John Arbash Meinel, #62473)
5475
5476
* bzr branch/pull no longer complain about progress bar cleanup when
5477
interrupted during fetch. (Aaron Bentley, #54000)
5478
5479
* ``WorkingTree.set_parent_trees()`` uses the trees to directly write
5480
the basis inventory, rather than going through the repository. This
5481
allows us to have 1 inventory read, and 2 inventory writes when
5482
committing a new tree. (John Arbash Meinel)
5483
5484
* When reverting, files that are not locally modified that do not exist
5485
in the target are deleted, not just unversioned (Aaron Bentley)
5486
5487
* When trying to acquire a lock, don't fail immediately. Instead, try
5488
a few times (up to 1 hour) before timing out. Also, report why the
5489
lock is unavailable (John Arbash Meinel, #43521, #49556)
5490
5491
* Leave HttpTransportBase daughter classes decides how they
5492
implement cloning. (Vincent Ladeuil, #61606)
5493
5494
* diff3 does not indicate conflicts on clean merge. (Aaron Bentley)
5495
5496
* If a commit fails, the commit message is stored in a file at the root of
5497
the tree for later commit. (Cheuksan Edward Wang, Stefan Metzmacher,
5498
#32054)
5499
5500
TESTING:
5501
5502
* New test base class TestCaseWithMemoryTransport offers memory-only
5503
testing facilities: its not suitable for tests that need to mutate disk
5504
state, but most tests should not need that and should be converted to
5505
TestCaseWithMemoryTransport. (Robert Collins)
5506
5507
* ``TestCase.make_branch_and_memory_tree`` now takes a format
5508
option to set the BzrDir, Repository and Branch formats of the
5509
created objects. (Robert Collins, John Arbash Meinel)

5527
-----------------------
5528
5529
IMPROVEMENTS:
5530
5531
* Knit files now wait to create their contents until the first data is
5532
added. The old code used to create an empty .knit and a .kndx with just
5533
the header. However, this caused a lot of extra round trips over sftp.
5534
This can change the time for ``bzr push`` to create a new remote branch
5535
from 160s down to 100s. This also affects ``bzr commit`` performance when
5536
adding new files, ``bzr commit`` on a new kernel-like tree drops from 50s
5537
down to 40s (John Arbash Meinel, #44692)
5538
5539
* When an entire subtree has been deleted, commit will now report that
5540
just the top of the subtree has been deleted, rather than reporting
5541
all the individual items. (Robert Collins)
5542
5543
* Commit performs one less XML parse. (Robert Collins)
5544
5545
* ``bzr checkout`` now operates on readonly branches as well
5546
as readwrite branches. This fixes bug #39542. (Robert Collins)
5547
5548
* ``bzr bind`` no longer synchronises history with the master branch.
5549
Binding should be followed by an update or push to synchronise the
5550
two branches. This is closely related to the fix for bug #39542.
5551
(Robert Collins)
5552
5553
* ``bzrlib.lazy_import.lazy_import`` function to create on-demand
5554
objects. This allows all imports to stay at the global scope, but
5555
modules will not actually be imported if they are not used.
5556
(John Arbash Meinel)
5557
5558
* Support ``bzr://`` and ``bzr+ssh://`` urls to work with the new RPC-based
5559
transport which will be used with the upcoming high-performance smart
5560
server. The new command ``bzr serve`` will invoke bzr in server mode,
5561
which processes these requests. (Andrew Bennetts, Robert Collins, Martin
5562
Pool)
5563
5564
* New command ``bzr version-info`` which can be used to get a summary
5565
of the current state of the tree. This is especially useful as part
5566
of a build commands. See ``doc/version_info.txt`` for more information
5567
(John Arbash Meinel)
5568
5569
BUG FIXES:
5570
5571
* ``'bzr inventory [FILE...]'`` allows restricting the file list to a
5572
specific set of files. (John Arbash Meinel, #3631)
5573
5574
* Don't abort when annotating empty files (John Arbash Meinel, #56814)
5575
5576
* Add ``Stanza.to_unicode()`` which can be passed to another Stanza
5577
when nesting stanzas. Also, add ``read_stanza_unicode`` to handle when
5578
reading a nested Stanza. (John Arbash Meinel)
5579
5580
* Transform._set_mode() needs to stat the right file.
5581
(John Arbash Meinel, #56549)
5582
5583
* Raise WeaveFormatError rather than StopIteration when trying to read
5584
an empty Weave file. (John Arbash Meinel, #46871)
5585
5586
* Don't access e.code for generic URLErrors, only HTTPErrors have .code.
5587
(Vincent Ladeuil, #59835)
5588
5589
* Handle boundary="" lines properly to allow access through a Squid proxy.
5590
(John Arbash Meinel, #57723)
5591
5592
* revert now removes newly-added directories (Aaron Bentley, #54172)
5593
5594
* ``bzr upgrade sftp://`` shouldn't fail to upgrade v6 branches if there
5595
isn't a working tree. (David Allouche, #40679)
5596
5597
* Give nicer error messages when a user supplies an invalid --revision
5598
parameter. (John Arbash Meinel, #55420)
5599
5600
* Handle when LANG is not recognized by python. Emit a warning, but
5601
just revert to using 'ascii'. (John Arbash Meinel, #35392)
5602
5603
* Don't use ``preexec_fn`` on win32, as it is not supported by subprocess.
5604
(John Arbash Meinel)
5605
5606
* Skip specific tests when the dependencies aren't met. This includes
5607
some ``setup.py`` tests when ``python-dev`` is not available, and
5608
some tests that depend on paramiko. (John Arbash Meinel, Mattheiu Moy)
5609
5610
* Fallback to Paramiko properly, if no ``ssh`` executable exists on
5611
the system. (Andrew Bennetts, John Arbash Meinel)
5612
5613
* ``Branch.bind(other_branch)`` no longer takes a write lock on the
5614
other branch, and will not push or pull between the two branches.
5615
API users will need to perform a push or pull or update operation if they
5616
require branch synchronisation to take place. (Robert Collins, #47344)
5617
5618
* When creating a tarball or zipfile export, export unicode names as utf-8
5619
paths. This may not work perfectly on all platforms, but has the best
5620
chance of working in the common case. (John Arbash Meinel, #56816)
5621
5622
* When committing, only files that exist in working tree or basis tree
5623
may be specified (Aaron Bentley, #50793)
5624
5625
PORTABILITY:
5626
5627
* Fixes to run on Python 2.5 (Brian M. Carlson, Martin Pool, Marien Zwart)
5628
5629
INTERNALS:
5630
5631
* TestCaseInTempDir now creates a separate directory for HOME, rather
5632
than having HOME set to the same location as the working directory.
5633
(John Arbash Meinel)
5634
5635
* ``run_bzr_subprocess()`` can take an optional ``env_changes={}`` parameter,
5636
which will update os.environ inside the spawned child. It also can
5637
take a ``universal_newlines=True``, which helps when checking the output
5638
of the command. (John Arbash Meinel)
5639
5640
* Refactor SFTP vendors to allow easier re-use when ssh is used.
5641
(Andrew Bennetts)
5642
5643
* ``Transport.list_dir()`` and ``Transport.iter_files_recursive()`` should always
5644
return urlescaped paths. This is now tested (there were bugs in a few
5645
of the transports) (Andrew Bennetts, David Allouche, John Arbash Meinel)
5646
5647
* New utility function ``symbol_versioning.deprecation_string``. Returns the
5648
formatted string for a callable, deprecation format pair. (Robert Collins)
5649
5650
* New TestCase helper applyDeprecated. This allows you to call a callable
5651
which is deprecated without it spewing to the screen, just by supplying
5652
the deprecation format string issued for it. (Robert Collins)
5653
5654
* Transport.append and Transport.put have been deprecated in favor of
5655
``.append_bytes``, ``.append_file``, ``.put_bytes``, and
5656
``.put_file``. This removes the ambiguity in what type of object the
5657
functions take. ``Transport.non_atomic_put_{bytes,file}`` has also
5658
been added. Which works similarly to ``Transport.append()`` except for
5659
SFTP, it doesn't have a round trip when opening the file. Also, it
5660
provides functionality for creating a parent directory when trying
5661
to create a file, rather than raise NoSuchFile and forcing the
5662
caller to repeat their request.
5663
(John Arbash Meinel)
5664
5665
* WorkingTree has a new api ``unversion`` which allow the unversioning of
5666
entries by their file id. (Robert Collins)
5667
5668
* ``WorkingTree.pending_merges`` is deprecated. Please use the
5669
``get_parent_ids`` (introduced in 0.10) method instead. (Robert Collins)
5670
5671
* WorkingTree has a new ``lock_tree_write`` method which locks the branch for
5672
read rather than write. This is appropriate for actions which only need
5673
the branch data for reference rather than mutation. A new decorator
5674
``needs_tree_write_lock`` is provided in the workingtree module. Like the
5675
``needs_read_lock`` and ``needs_write_lock`` decorators this allows static
5676
declaration of the locking requirements of a function to ensure that
5677
a lock is taken out for casual scripts. (Robert Collins, #54107)
5678
5679
* All WorkingTree methods which write to the tree, but not to the branch
5680
have been converted to use ``needs_tree_write_lock`` rather than
5681
``needs_write_lock``. Also converted is the revert, conflicts and tree
5682
transform modules. This provides a modest performance improvement on
5683
metadir style trees, due to the reduce lock-acquisition, and a more
5684
significant performance improvement on lightweight checkouts from
5685
remote branches, where trivial operations used to pay a significant
5686
penalty. It also provides the basis for allowing readonly checkouts.
5687
(Robert Collins)
5688
5689
* Special case importing the standard library 'copy' module. This shaves
5690
off 40ms of startup time, while retaining compatibility. See:
5691
``bzrlib/inspect_for_copy.py`` for more details. (John Arbash Meinel)
5692
5693
* WorkingTree has a new parent class MutableTree which represents the
5694
specialisations of Tree which are able to be altered. (Robert Collins)
5695
5696
* New methods mkdir and ``put_file_bytes_non_atomic`` on MutableTree that
5697
mutate the tree and its contents. (Robert Collins)
5698
5699
* Transport behaviour at the root of the URL is now defined and tested.
5700
(Andrew Bennetts, Robert Collins)
5701
5702
TESTING:
5703
5704
* New test helper classs MemoryTree. This is typically accessed via
5705
``self.make_branch_and_memory_tree()`` in test cases. (Robert Collins)
5706
5707
* Add ``start_bzr_subprocess`` and ``stop_bzr_subprocess`` to allow test
5708
code to continue running concurrently with a subprocess of bzr.
5709
(Andrew Bennetts, Robert Collins)
5710
5711
* Add a new method ``Transport.get_smart_client()``. This is provided to
5712
allow upgrades to a richer interface than the VFS one provided by
5713
Transport. (Andrew Bennetts, Martin Pool)
5714
5715
bzr 0.10 2006-08-29
5716
--------------------
5717
5718
IMPROVEMENTS:
5719
* 'merge' now takes --uncommitted, to apply uncommitted changes from a
5720
tree. (Aaron Bentley)
5721
5722
* 'bzr add --file-ids-from' can be used to specify another path to use
5723
for creating file ids, rather than generating all new ones. Internally,
5724
the 'action' passed to ``smart_add_tree()`` can return ``file_ids`` that
5725
will be used, rather than having bzrlib generate new ones.
5726
(John Arbash Meinel, #55781)
5727
5728
* ``bzr selftest --benchmark`` now allows a ``--cache-dir`` parameter.
5729
This will cache some of the intermediate trees, and decrease the
5730
setup time for benchmark tests. (John Arbash Meinel)
5731
5732
* Inverse forms are provided for all boolean options. For example,
5733
--strict has --no-strict, --no-recurse has --recurse (Aaron Bentley)
5734
5735
* Serialize out Inventories directly, rather than using ElementTree.
5736
Writing out a kernel sized inventory drops from 2s down to ~350ms.
5737
(Robert Collins, John Arbash Meinel)
5738
5739
BUG FIXES:
5740
5741
* Help diffutils 2.8.4 get along with binary tests (Marien Zwart: #57614)
5742
5743
* Change LockDir so that if the lock directory doesn't exist when
5744
``lock_write()`` is called, an attempt will be made to create it.
5745
(John Arbash Meinel, #56974)
5746
5747
* ``bzr uncommit`` preserves pending merges. (John Arbash Meinel, #57660)
5748
5749
* Active FTP transport now works as intended. (ghozzy, #56472)
5750
5751
* Really fix mutter() so that it won't ever raise a UnicodeError.
5752
It means it is possible for ~/.bzr.log to contain non UTF-8 characters.
5753
But it is a debugging log, not a real user file.
5754
(John Arbash Meinel, #56947, #53880)
5755
5756
* Change Command handle to allow Unicode command and options.
5757
At present we cannot register Unicode command names, so we will get
5758
BzrCommandError('unknown command'), or BzrCommandError('unknown option')
5759
But that is better than a UnicodeError + a traceback.
5760
(John Arbash Meinel, #57123)
5761
5762
* Handle TZ=UTC properly when reading/writing revisions.
5763
(John Arbash Meinel, #55783, #56290)
5764
5765
* Use ``GPG_TTY`` to allow gpg --cl to work with gpg-agent in a pipeline,
5766
(passing text to sign in on stdin). (John Arbash Meinel, #54468)
5767
5768
* External diff does the right thing for binaries even in foreign
5769
languages. (John Arbash Meinel, #56307)
5770
5771
* Testament handles more cases when content is unicode. Specific bug was
5772
in handling of revision properties.
5773
(John Arbash Meinel, Holger Krekel, #54723)
5774
5775
* The bzr selftest was failing on installed versions due to a bug in a new
5776
test helper. (John Arbash Meinel, Robert Collins, #58057)
5777
5778
INTERNALS:
5779
5780
* ``bzrlib.cache_utf8`` contains ``encode()`` and ``decode()`` functions
5781
which can be used to cache the conversion between utf8 and Unicode.
5782
Especially helpful for some of the knit annotation code, which has to
5783
convert revision ids to utf8 to annotate lines in storage.
5784
(John Arbash Meinel)
5785
5786
* ``setup.py`` now searches the filesystem to find all packages which
5787
need to be installed. This should help make the life of packagers
5788
easier. (John Arbash Meinel)
5789
5790
bzr 0.9.0 2006-08-11
5791
---------------------
5792
5793
SURPRISES:
5794
5795
* The hard-coded built-in ignore rules have been removed. There are
5796
now two rulesets which are enforced. A user global one in
5797
``~/.bazaar/ignore`` which will apply to every tree, and the tree
5798
specific one '.bzrignore'.
5799
``~/.bazaar/ignore`` will be created if it does not exist, but with
5800
a more conservative list than the old default.
5801
This fixes bugs with default rules being enforced no matter what.
5802
The old list of ignore rules from bzr is available by
5803
running 'bzr ignore --old-default-rules'.
5804
(Robert Collins, Martin Pool, John Arbash Meinel)
5805
5806
* 'branches.conf' has been changed to 'locations.conf', since it can apply
5807
to more locations than just branch locations.
5808
(Aaron Bentley)
5809
5810
IMPROVEMENTS:
5811
5812
* The revision specifier "revno:" is extended to accept the syntax
5813
revno:N:branch. For example,
5814
revno:42:http://bazaar-vcs.org/bzr/bzr.dev/ means revision 42 in
5815
bzr.dev. (Matthieu Moy)
5816
5817
* Tests updates to ensure proper URL handling, UNICODE support, and
5818
proper printing when the user's terminal encoding cannot display
5819
the path of a file that has been versioned.
5820
``bzr branch`` can take a target URL rather than only a local directory.
5821
``Branch.get_parent()/set_parent()`` now save a relative path if possible,
5822
and normalize the parent based on root, allowing access across
5823
different transports. (John Arbash Meinel, Wouter van Heyst, Martin Pool)
5824
(Malone #48906, #42699, #40675, #5281, #3980, #36363, #43689,
5825
#42517, #42514)
5826
5827
* On Unix, detect terminal width using an ioctl not just $COLUMNS.
5828
Use terminal width for single-line logs from ``bzr log --line`` and
5829
pending-merge display. (Robert Widhopf-Fenk, Gustavo Niemeyer)
5830
(Malone #3507)
5831
5832
* On Windows, detect terminal width using GetConsoleScreenBufferInfo.
5833
(Alexander Belchenko)
5834
5835
* Speedup improvement for 'date:'-revision search. (Guillaume Pinot).
5836
5837
* Show the correct number of revisions pushed when pushing a new branch.
5838
(Robert Collins).
5839
5840
* 'bzr selftest' now shows a progress bar with the number of tests, and
5841
progress made. 'make check' shows tests in -v mode, to be more useful
5842
for the PQM status window. (Robert Collins).
5843
When using a progress bar, failed tests are printed out, rather than
5844
being overwritten by the progress bar until the suite finishes.
5845
(John Arbash Meinel)
5846
5847
* 'bzr selftest --benchmark' will run a new benchmarking selftest.
5848
'bzr selftest --benchmark --lsprof-timed' will use lsprofile to generate
5849
profile data for the individual profiled calls, allowing for fine
5850
grained analysis of performance.
5851
(Robert Collins, Martin Pool).
5852
5853
* 'bzr commit' shows a progress bar. This is useful for commits over sftp
5854
where commit can take an appreciable time. (Robert Collins)
5855
5856
* 'bzr add' is now less verbose in telling you what ignore globs were
5857
matched by files being ignored. Instead it just tells you how many
5858
were ignored (because you might reasonably be expecting none to be
5859
ignored). 'bzr add -v' is unchanged and will report every ignored
5860
file. (Robert Collins).
5861
5862
* ftp now has a test server if medusa is installed. As part of testing,
5863
ftp support has been improved, including support for supplying a
5864
non-standard port. (John Arbash Meinel).
5865
5866
* 'bzr log --line' shows the revision number, and uses only the
5867
first line of the log message (#5162, Alexander Belchenko;
5868
Matthieu Moy)
5869
5870
* 'bzr status' has had the --all option removed. The 'bzr ls' command
5871
should be used to retrieve all versioned files. (Robert Collins)
5872
5873
* 'bzr bundle OTHER/BRANCH' will create a bundle which can be sent
5874
over email, and applied on the other end, while maintaining ancestry.
5875
This bundle can be applied with either 'bzr merge' or 'bzr pull',
5876
the same way you would apply another branch.
5877
(John Arbash Meinel, Aaron Bentley)
5878
5879
* 'bzr whoami' can now be used to set your identity from the command line,
5880
for a branch or globally. (Robey Pointer)
5881
5882
* 'bzr checkout' now aliased to 'bzr co', and 'bzr annotate' to 'bzr ann'.
5883
(Michael Ellerman)
5884
5885
* 'bzr revert DIRECTORY' now reverts the contents of the directory as well.
5886
(Aaron Bentley)
5887
5888
* 'bzr get sftp://foo' gives a better error when paramiko is not present.
5889
Also updates things like 'http+pycurl://' if pycurl is not present.
5890
(John Arbash Meinel) (Malone #47821, #52204)
5891
5892
* New env variable ``BZR_PROGRESS_BAR``, sets the default progress bar type.
5893
Can be set to 'none' or 'dummy' to disable the progress bar, 'dots' or
5894
'tty' to create the respective type. (John Arbash Meinel, #42197, #51107)
5895
5896
* Improve the help text for 'bzr diff' to explain what various options do.
5897
(John Arbash Meinel, #6391)
5898
5899
* 'bzr uncommit -r 10' now uncommits revisions 11.. rather than uncommitting
5900
revision 10. This makes -r10 more in line with what other commands do.
5901
'bzr uncommit' also now saves the pending merges of the revisions that
5902
were removed. So it is safe to uncommit after a merge, fix something,
5903
and commit again. (John Arbash Meinel, #32526, #31426)
5904
5905
* 'bzr init' now also works on remote locations.
5906
(Wouter van Heyst, #48904)
5907
5908
* HTTP support has been updated. When using pycurl we now support
5909
connection keep-alive, which reduces dns requests and round trips.
5910
And for both urllib and pycurl we support multi-range requests,
5911
which decreases the number of round-trips. Performance results for
5912
``bzr branch http://bazaar-vcs.org/bzr/bzr.dev/`` indicate
5913
http branching is now 2-3x faster, and ``bzr pull`` in an existing
5914
branch is as much as 4x faster.
5915
(Michael Ellerman, Johan Rydberg, John Arbash Meinel, #46768)
5916
5917
* Performance improvements for sftp. Branching and pulling are now up to
5918
2x faster. Utilize paramiko.readv() support for async requests if it
5919
is available (paramiko > 1.6) (John Arbash Meinel)
5920
5921
BUG FIXES:
5922
5923
* Fix shadowed definition of TestLocationConfig that caused some
5924
tests not to run.
5925
(Erik Bågfors, Michael Ellerman, Martin Pool, #32587)
5926
5927
* Fix unnecessary requirement of sign-my-commits that it be run from
5928
a working directory. (Martin Pool, Robert Collins)
5929
5930
* 'bzr push location' will only remember the push location if it succeeds
5931
in connecting to the remote location. (John Arbash Meinel, #49742)
5932
5933
* 'bzr revert' no longer toggles the executable bit on win32
5934
(John Arbash Meinel, #45010)
5935
5936
* Handle broken pipe under win32 correctly. (John Arbash Meinel)
5937
5938
* sftp tests now work correctly on win32 if you have a newer paramiko
5939
(John Arbash Meinel)
5940
5941
* Cleanup win32 test suite, and general cleanup of places where
5942
file handles were being held open. (John Arbash Meinel)
5943
5944
* When specifying filenames for 'diff -r x..y', the name of the file in the
5945
working directory can be used, even if its name is different in both x
5946
and y.
5947
5948
* File-ids containing single- or double-quotes are handled correctly by
5949
push. (Aaron Bentley, #52227)
5950
5951
* Normalize unicode filenames to ensure cross-platform consistency.
5952
(John Arbash Meinel, #43689)
5953
5954
* The argument parser can now handle '-' as an argument. Currently
5955
no code interprets it specially (it is mostly handled as a file named
5956
'-'). But plugins, and future operations can use it.
5957
(John Arbash meinel, #50984)
5958
5959
* Bundles can properly read binary files with a plain '\r' in them.
5960
(John Arbash Meinel, #51927)
5961
5962
* Tuning ``iter_entries()`` to be more efficient (John Arbash Meinel, #5444)
5963
5964
* Lots of win32 fixes (the test suite passes again).
5965
(John Arbash Meinel, #50155)
5966
5967
* Handle openbsd returning None for sys.getfilesystemencoding() (#41183)
5968
5969
* Support ftp APPE (append) to allow Knits to be used over ftp (#42592)
5970
5971
* Removals are only committed if they match the filespec (or if there is
5972
no filespec). (#46635, Aaron Bentley)
5973
5974
* smart-add recurses through all supplied directories
5975
(John Arbash Meinel, #52578)
5976
5977
* Make the bundle reader extra lines before and after the bundle text.
5978
This allows you to parse an email with the bundle inline.
5979
(John Arbash Meinel, #49182)
5980
5981
* Change the file id generator to squash a little bit more. Helps when
5982
working with long filenames on windows. (Also helps for unicode filenames
5983
not generating hidden files). (John Arbash Meinel, #43801)
5984
5985
* Restore terminal mode on C-c while reading sftp password. (#48923,
5986
Nicholas Allen, Martin Pool)
5987
5988
* Timestamps are rounded to 1ms, and revision entries can be recreated
5989
exactly. (John Arbash Meinel, Jamie Wilkinson, #40693)
5990
5991
* Branch.base has changed to a URL, but ~/.bazaar/locations.conf should
5992
use local paths, since it is user visible (John Arbash Meinel, #53653)
5993
5994
* ``bzr status foo`` when foo was unversioned used to cause a full delta
5995
to be generated (John Arbash Meinel, #53638)
5996
5997
* When reading revision properties, an empty value should be considered
5998
the empty string, not None (John Arbash Meinel, #47782)
5999
6000
* ``bzr diff --diff-options`` can now handle binary files being changed.
6001
Also, the output is consistent when --diff-options is not supplied.
6002
(John Arbash Meinel, #54651, #52930)
6003
6004
* Use the right suffixes for loading plugins (John Arbash Meinel, #51810)
6005
6006
* Fix ``Branch.get_parent()`` to handle the case when the parent is not
6007
accessible (John Arbash Meinel, #52976)
6008
6009
INTERNALS:
6010
6011
* Combine the ignore rules into a single regex rather than looping over
6012
them to reduce the threshold where N^2 behaviour occurs in operations
6013
like status. (Jan Hudec, Robert Collins).
6014
6015
* Appending to ``bzrlib.DEFAULT_IGNORE`` is now deprecated. Instead, use
6016
one of the add functions in bzrlib.ignores. (John Arbash Meinel)
6017
6018
* 'bzr push' should only push the ancestry of the current revision, not
6019
all of the history in the repository. This is especially important for
6020
shared repositories. (John Arbash Meinel)
6021
6022
* ``bzrlib.delta.compare_trees`` now iterates in alphabetically sorted order,
6023
rather than randomly walking the inventories. (John Arbash Meinel)
6024
6025
* Doctests are now run in temporary directories which are cleaned up when
6026
they finish, rather than using special ScratchDir/ScratchBranch objects.
6027
(Martin Pool)
6028
6029
* Split ``check`` into separate methods on the branch and on the repository,
6030
so that it can be specialized in ways that are useful or efficient for
6031
different formats. (Martin Pool, Robert Collins)
6032
6033
* Deprecate ``Repository.all_revision_ids``; most methods don't really need
6034
the global revision graph but only that part leading up to a particular
6035
revision. (Martin Pool, Robert Collins)
6036
6037
* Add a BzrDirFormat ``control_formats`` list which allows for control formats
6038
that do not use '.bzr' to store their data - i.e. '.svn', '.hg' etc.
6039
(Robert Collins, Jelmer Vernooij).
6040
6041
* ``bzrlib.diff.external_diff`` can be redirected to any file-like object.
6042
Uses subprocess instead of spawnvp.
6043
(James Henstridge, John Arbash Meinel, #4047, #48914)
6044
6045
* New command line option '--profile-imports', which will install a custom
6046
importer to log time to import modules and regex compilation time to
6047
sys.stderr (John Arbash Meinel)
6048
6049
* 'EmptyTree' is now deprecated, please use ``repository.revision_tree(None)``
6050
instead. (Robert Collins)
6051
6052
* "RevisionTree" is now in bzrlib/revisiontree.py. (Robert Collins)

6109
bzr 0.8 2006-05-08
6110
-------------------
6111
6112
NOTES WHEN UPGRADING:
6113
6114
Release 0.8 of bzr introduces a new format for history storage, called
6115
'knit', as an evolution of to the 'weave' format used in 0.7. Local
6116
and remote operations are faster using knits than weaves. Several
6117
operations including 'init', 'init-repo', and 'upgrade' take a
6118
--format option that controls this. Branching from an existing branch
6119
will keep the same format.
6120
6121
It is possible to merge, pull and push between branches of different
6122
formats but this is slower than moving data between homogenous
6123
branches. It is therefore recommended (but not required) that you
6124
upgrade all branches for a project at the same time. Information on
6125
formats is shown by 'bzr info'.
6126
6127
bzr 0.8 now allows creation of 'repositories', which hold the history
6128
of files and revisions for several branches. Previously bzr kept all
6129
the history for a branch within the .bzr directory at the root of the
6130
branch, and this is still the default. To create a repository, use
6131
the new 'bzr init-repo' command. Branches exist as directories under
6132
the repository and contain just a small amount of information
6133
indicating the current revision of the branch.
6134
6135
bzr 0.8 also supports 'checkouts', which are similar to in cvs and
6136
subversion. Checkouts are associated with a branch (optionally in a
6137
repository), which contains all the historical information. The
6138
result is that a checkout can be deleted without losing any
6139
already-committed revisions. A new 'update' command is also available.
6140
6141
Repositories and checkouts are not supported with the 0.7 storage
6142
format. To use them you must upgrad to either knits, or to the
6143
'metaweave' format, which uses weaves but changes the .bzr directory
6144
arrangement.
6145
6146
6147
IMPROVEMENTS:
6148
6149
* Sftp paths can now be relative, or local, according to the lftp
6150
convention. Paths now take the form::
6151
6152
sftp://user:pass@host:port/~/relative/path
6153
or
6154
sftp://user:pass@host:port/absolute/path
6155
6156
* The FTP transport now tries to reconnect after a temporary
6157
failure. ftp put is made atomic. (Matthieu Moy)
6158
6159
* The FTP transport now maintains a pool of connections, and
6160
reuses them to avoid multiple connections to the same host (like
6161
sftp did). (Daniel Silverstone)
6162
6163
* The ``bzr_man.py`` file has been removed. To create the man page now,
6164
use ``./generate_docs.py man``. The new program can also create other files.
6165
Run ``python generate_docs.py --help`` for usage information.
6166
(Hans Ulrich Niedermann & James Blackwell).
6167
6168
* Man Page now gives full help (James Blackwell).
6169
Help also updated to reflect user config now being stored in .bazaar
6170
(Hans Ulrich Niedermann)
6171
6172
* It's now possible to set aliases in bazaar.conf (Erik Bågfors)
6173
6174
* Pull now accepts a --revision argument (Erik Bågfors)
6175
6176
* ``bzr re-sign`` now allows multiple revisions to be supplied on the command
6177
line. You can now use the following command to sign all of your old
6178
commits::
6179
6180
find .bzr/revision-store// -name my@email-* \
6181
| sed 's/.*\/\/..\///' \
6182
| xargs bzr re-sign
6183
6184
* Upgrade can now upgrade over the network. (Robert Collins)
6185
6186
* Two new commands 'bzr checkout' and 'bzr update' allow for CVS/SVN-alike
6187
behaviour. By default they will cache history in the checkout, but
6188
with --lightweight almost all data is kept in the master branch.
6189
(Robert Collins)
6190
6191
* 'revert' unversions newly-versioned files, instead of deleting them.
6192
6193
* 'merge' is more robust. Conflict messages have changed.
6194
6195
* 'merge' and 'revert' no longer clobber existing files that end in '~' or
6196
'.moved'.
6197
6198
* Default log format can be set in configuration and plugins can register
6199
their own formatters. (Erik Bågfors)
6200
6201
* New 'reconcile' command will check branch consistency and repair indexes
6202
that can become out of sync in pre 0.8 formats. (Robert Collins,
6203
Daniel Silverstone)
6204
6205
* New 'bzr init --format' and 'bzr upgrade --format' option to control
6206
what storage format is created or produced. (Robert Collins,
6207
Martin Pool)
6208
6209
* Add parent location to 'bzr info', if there is one. (Olaf Conradi)
6210
6211
* New developer commands 'weave-list' and 'weave-join'. (Martin Pool)
6212
6213
* New 'init-repository' command, plus support for repositories in 'init'
6214
and 'branch' (Aaron Bentley, Erik Bågfors, Robert Collins)
6215
6216
* Improve output of 'info' command. Show all relevant locations related to
6217
working tree, branch and repository. Use kibibytes for binary quantities.
6218
Fix off-by-one error in missing revisions of working tree. Make 'info'
6219
work on branches, repositories and remote locations. Show locations
6220
relative to the shared repository, if applicable. Show locking status
6221
of locations. (Olaf Conradi)
6222
6223
* Diff and merge now safely handle binary files. (Aaron Bentley)
6224
6225
* 'pull' and 'push' now normalise the revision history, so that any two
6226
branches with the same tip revision will have the same output from 'log'.
6227
(Robert Collins)
6228
6229
* 'merge' accepts --remember option to store parent location, like 'push'
6230
and 'pull'. (Olaf Conradi)
6231
6232
* bzr status and diff when files given as arguments do not exist
6233
in the relevant trees. (Martin Pool, #3619)
6234
6235
* Add '.hg' to the default ignore list. (Martin Pool)
6236
6237
* 'knit' is now the default disk format. This improves disk performance and
6238
utilization, increases incremental pull performance, robustness with SFTP
6239
and allows checkouts over SFTP to perform acceptably.
6240
The initial Knit code was contributed by Johan Rydberg based on a
6241
specification by Martin Pool.
6242
(Robert Collins, Aaron Bentley, Johan Rydberg, Martin Pool).
6243
6244
* New tool to generate all-in-one html version of the manual. (Alexander
6245
Belchenko)
6246
6247
* Hitting CTRL-C while doing an SFTP push will no longer cause stale locks
6248
to be left in the SFTP repository. (Robert Collins, Martin Pool).
6249
6250
* New option 'diff --prefix' to control how files are named in diff
6251
output, with shortcuts '-p0' and '-p1' corresponding to the options for
6252
GNU patch. (Alexander Belchenko, Goffredo Baroncelli, Martin Pool)
6253
6254
* Add --revision option to 'annotate' command. (Olaf Conradi)
6255
6256
* If bzr shows an unexpected revision-history after pulling (perhaps due
6257
to a reweave) it can now be corrected by 'bzr reconcile'.
6258
(Robert Collins)
6259
6260
CHANGES:
6261
6262
* Commit is now verbose by default, and shows changed filenames and the
6263
new revision number. (Robert Collins, Martin Pool)
6264
6265
* Unify 'mv', 'move', 'rename'. (Matthew Fuller, #5379)
6266
6267
* 'bzr -h' shows help. (Martin Pool, Ian Bicking, #35940)
6268
6269
* Make 'pull' and 'push' remember location on failure using --remember.
6270
(Olaf Conradi)
6271
6272
* For compatibility, make old format for using weaves inside metadir
6273
available as 'metaweave' format. Rename format 'metadir' to 'default'.
6274
Clean up help for option --format in commands 'init', 'init-repo' and
6275
'upgrade'. (Olaf Conradi)
6276
6277
INTERNALS:
6278
6279
* The internal storage of history, and logical branch identity have now
6280
been split into Branch, and Repository. The common locking and file
6281
management routines are now in bzrlib.lockablefiles.
6282
(Aaron Bentley, Robert Collins, Martin Pool)
6283
6284
* Transports can now raise DependencyNotPresent if they need a library
6285
which is not installed, and then another implementation will be
6286
tried. (Martin Pool)
6287
6288
* Remove obsolete (and no-op) `decode` parameter to `Transport.get`.
6289
(Martin Pool)
6290
6291
* Using Tree Transform for merge, revert, tree-building
6292
6293
* WorkingTree.create, Branch.create, ``WorkingTree.create_standalone``,
6294
Branch.initialize are now deprecated. Please see ``BzrDir.create_*`` for
6295
replacement API's. (Robert Collins)
6296
6297
* New BzrDir class represents the .bzr control directory and manages
6298
formatting issues. (Robert Collins)
6299
6300
* New repository.InterRepository class encapsulates Repository to
6301
Repository actions and allows for clean selection of optimised code
6302
paths. (Robert Collins)
6303
6304
* ``bzrlib.fetch.fetch`` and ``bzrlib.fetch.greedy_fetch`` are now
6305
deprecated, please use ``branch.fetch`` or ``repository.fetch``
6306
depending on your needs. (Robert Collins)
6307
6308
* deprecated methods now have a ``is_deprecated`` flag on them that can
6309
be checked, if you need to determine whether a given callable is
6310
deprecated at runtime. (Robert Collins)
6311
6312
* Progress bars are now nested - see
6313
``bzrlib.ui.ui_factory.nested_progress_bar``.
6314
(Robert Collins, Robey Pointer)
6315
6316
* New API call ``get_format_description()`` for each type of format.
6317
(Olaf Conradi)
6318
6319
* Changed ``branch.set_parent()`` to accept None to remove parent.
6320
(Olaf Conradi)
6321
6322
* Deprecated BzrError AmbiguousBase. (Olaf Conradi)
6323
6324
* WorkingTree.branch is now a read only property. (Robert Collins)
6325
6326
* bzrlib.ui.text.TextUIFactory now accepts a ``bar_type`` parameter which
6327
can be None or a factory that will create a progress bar. This is
6328
useful for testing or for overriding the bzrlib.progress heuristic.
6329
(Robert Collins)
6330
6331
* New API method ``get_physical_lock_status()`` to query locks present on a
6332
transport. (Olaf Conradi)
6333
6334
* Repository.reconcile now takes a thorough keyword parameter to allow
6335
requesting an indepth reconciliation, rather than just a data-loss
6336
check. (Robert Collins)
6337
6338
* ``bzrlib.ui.ui_factory protocol`` now supports ``get_boolean`` to prompt
6339
the user for yes/no style input. (Robert Collins)
6340
6341
TESTING:
6342
6343
* SFTP tests now shortcut the SSH negotiation, reducing test overhead
6344
for testing SFTP protocol support. (Robey Pointer)
6345
6346
* Branch formats are now tested once per implementation (see ``bzrlib.
6347
tests.branch_implementations``. This is analagous to the transport
6348
interface tests, and has been followed up with working tree,
6349
repository and BzrDir tests. (Robert Collins)
6350
6351
* New test base class TestCaseWithTransport provides a transport aware
6352
test environment, useful for testing any transport-interface using
6353
code. The test suite option --transport controls the transport used
6354
by this class (when its not being used as part of implementation
6355
contract testing). (Robert Collins)
6356
6357
* Close logging handler on disabling the test log. This will remove the
6358
handler from the internal list inside python's logging module,
6359
preventing shutdown from closing it twice. (Olaf Conradi)
6360
6361
* Move test case for uncommit to blackbox tests. (Olaf Conradi)
6362
6363
* ``run_bzr`` and ``run_bzr_captured`` now accept a 'stdin="foo"'
6364
parameter which will provide String("foo") to the command as its stdin.

6369
CHANGES:
6370
6371
* .bzrignore is excluded from exports, on the grounds that it's a bzr
6372
internal-use file and may not be wanted. (Jamie Wilkinson)
6373
6374
* The "bzr directories" command were removed in favor of the new
6375
--kind option to the "bzr inventory" command. To list all
6376
versioned directories, now use "bzr inventory --kind directory".
6377
(Johan Rydberg)
6378
6379
* Under Windows configuration directory is now ``%APPDATA%\bazaar\2.0``
6380
by default. (John Arbash Meinel)
6381
6382
* The parent of Bzr configuration directory can be set by ``BZR_HOME``
6383
environment variable. Now the path for it is searched in ``BZR_HOME``,
6384
then in HOME. Under Windows the order is: ``BZR_HOME``, ``APPDATA``
6385
(usually points to ``C:\Documents and Settings\User Name\Application Data``),
6386
``HOME``. (John Arbash Meinel)
6387
6388
* Plugins with the same name in different directories in the bzr plugin
6389
path are no longer loaded: only the first successfully loaded one is
6390
used. (Robert Collins)
6391
6392
* Use systems' external ssh command to open connections if possible.
6393
This gives better integration with user settings such as ProxyCommand.
6394
(James Henstridge)
6395
6396
* Permissions on files underneath .bzr/ are inherited from the .bzr
6397
directory. So for a shared repository, simply doing 'chmod -R g+w .bzr/'
6398
will mean that future file will be created with group write permissions.
6399
6400
* configure.in and config.guess are no longer in the builtin default
6401
ignore list.
6402
6403
* '.sw[nop]' pattern ignored, to ignore vim swap files for nameless
6404
files. (John Arbash Meinel, Martin Pool)

6408
* "bzr INIT dir" now initializes the specified directory, and creates
6409
it if it does not exist. (John Arbash Meinel)
6410
6411
* New remerge command (Aaron Bentley)
6412
6413
* Better zsh completion script. (Steve Borho)
6414
6415
* 'bzr diff' now returns 1 when there are changes in the working
6416
tree. (Robert Collins)
6417
6418
* 'bzr push' now exists and can push changes to a remote location.
6419
This uses the transport infrastructure, and can store the remote
6420
location in the ~/.bazaar/branches.conf configuration file.
6421
(Robert Collins)
6422
6423
* Test directories are only kept if the test fails and the user requests
6424
that they be kept.
6425
6426
* Tweaks to short log printing
6427
6428
* Added branch nicks, new nick command, printing them in log output.
6429
(Aaron Bentley)
6430
6431
* If ``$BZR_PDB`` is set, pop into the debugger when an uncaught exception
6432
occurs. (Martin Pool)
6433
6434
* Accept 'bzr resolved' (an alias for 'bzr resolve'), as this is
6435
the same as Subversion. (Martin Pool)
6436
6437
* New ftp transport support (on ftplib), for ftp:// and aftp://
6438
URLs. (Daniel Silverstone)
6439
6440
* Commit editor temporary files now start with ``bzr_log.``, to allow
6441
text editors to match the file name and set up appropriate modes or
6442
settings. (Magnus Therning)
6443
6444
* Improved performance when integrating changes from a remote weave.
6445
(Goffredo Baroncelli)
6446
6447
* Sftp will attempt to cache the connection, so it is more likely that
6448
a connection will be reused, rather than requiring multiple password
6449
requests.
6450
6451
* bzr revno now takes an optional argument indicating the branch whose
6452
revno should be printed. (Michael Ellerman)
6453
6454
* bzr cat defaults to printing the last version of the file.
6455
(Matthieu Moy, #3632)
6456
6457
* New global option 'bzr --lsprof COMMAND' runs bzr under the lsprof
6458
profiler. (Denys Duchier)
6459
6460
* Faster commits by reading only the headers of affected weave files.
6461
(Denys Duchier)
6462
6463
* 'bzr add' now takes a --dry-run parameter which shows you what would be
6464
added, but doesn't actually add anything. (Michael Ellerman)
6465
6466
* 'bzr add' now lists how many files were ignored per glob. add --verbose
6467
lists the specific files. (Aaron Bentley)
6468
6469
* 'bzr missing' now supports displaying changes in diverged trees and can
6470
be limited to show what either end of the comparison is missing.
6471
(Aaron Bently, with a little prompting from Daniel Silverstone)
6472
6473
BUG FIXES:
6474
6475
* SFTP can walk up to the root path without index errors. (Robert Collins)
6476
6477
* Fix bugs in running bzr with 'python -O'. (Martin Pool)
6478
6479
* Error when run with -OO
6480
6481
* Fix bug in reporting http errors that don't have an http error code.
6482
(Martin Pool)
6483
6484
* Handle more cases of pipe errors in display commands
6485
6486
* Change status to 3 for all errors
6487
6488
* Files that are added and unlinked before committing are completely
6489
ignored by diff and status
6490
6491
* Stores with some compressed texts and some uncompressed texts are now
6492
able to be used. (John A Meinel)
6493
6494
* Fix for bzr pull failing sometimes under windows
6495
6496
* Fix for sftp transport under windows when using interactive auth
6497
6498
* Show files which are both renamed and modified as such in 'bzr
6499
status' output. (Daniel Silverstone, #4503)
6500
6501
* Make annotate cope better with revisions committed without a valid
6502
email address. (Marien Zwart)
6503
6504
* Fix representation of tab characters in commit messages.
6505
(Harald Meland)
6506
6507
* List of plugin directories in ``BZR_PLUGIN_PATH`` environment variable is
6508
now parsed properly under Windows. (Alexander Belchenko)
6509
6510
* Show number of revisions pushed/pulled/merged. (Robey Pointer)
6511
6512
* Keep a cached copy of the basis inventory to speed up operations
6513
that need to refer to it. (Johan Rydberg, Martin Pool)
6514
6515
* Fix bugs in bzr status display of non-ascii characters.
6516
(Martin Pool)
6517
6518
* Remove Makefile.in from default ignore list.
6519
(Tollef Fog Heen, Martin Pool, #6413)
6520
6521
* Fix failure in 'bzr added'. (Nathan McCallum, Martin Pool)
6522
6523
TESTING:
6524
6525
* Fix selftest asking for passwords when there are no SFTP keys.
6526
(Robey Pointer, Jelmer Vernooij)
6527
6528
* Fix selftest run with 'python -O'. (Martin Pool)
6529
6530
* Fix HTTP tests under Windows. (John Arbash Meinel)
6531
6532
* Make tests work even if HOME is not set (Aaron Bentley)
6533
6534
* Updated ``build_tree`` to use fixed line-endings for tests which read
6535
the file cotents and compare. Make some tests use this to pass under
6536
Windows. (John Arbash Meinel)
6537
6538
* Skip stat and symlink tests under Windows. (Alexander Belchenko)
6539
6540
* Delay in selftest/testhashcash is now issued under win32 and Cygwin.
6541
(John Arbash Meinel)
6542
6543
* Use terminal width to align verbose test output. (Martin Pool)
6544
6545
* Blackbox tests are maintained within the bzrlib.tests.blackbox directory.
6546
If adding a new test script please add that to
6547
``bzrlib.tests.blackbox.__init__``. (Robert Collins)
6548
6549
* Much better error message if one of the test suites can't be
6550
imported. (Martin Pool)
6551
6552
* Make check now runs the test suite twice - once with the default locale,
6553
and once with all locales forced to C, to expose bugs. This is not
6554
trivially done within python, so for now its only triggered by running
6555
Make check. Integrators and packagers who wish to check for full
6556
platform support should run 'make check' to test the source.
6557
(Robert Collins)
6558
6559
* Tests can now run TestSkipped if they can't execute for any reason.
6560
(Martin Pool) (NB: TestSkipped should only be raised for correctable
6561
reasons - see the wiki spec ImprovingBzrTestSuite).
6562
6563
* Test sftp with relative, absolute-in-homedir and absolute-not-in-homedir
6564
paths for the transport tests. Introduce blackbox remote sftp tests that
6565
test the same permutations. (Robert Collins, Robey Pointer)
6566
6567
* Transport implementation tests are now independent of the local file
6568
system, which allows tests for esoteric transports, and for features
6569
not available in the local file system. They also repeat for variations
6570
on the URL scheme that can introduce issues in the transport code,
6571
see bzrlib.transport.TransportTestProviderAdapter() for this.
6572
(Robert Collins).
6573
6574
* ``TestCase.build_tree`` uses the transport interface to build trees,
6575
pass in a transport parameter to give it an existing connection.
6576
(Robert Collins).
6577
6578
INTERNALS:
6579
6580
* WorkingTree.pull has been split across Branch and WorkingTree,
6581
to allow Branch only pulls. (Robert Collins)
6582
6583
* ``commands.display_command`` now returns the result of the decorated
6584
function. (Robert Collins)
6585
6586
* LocationConfig now has a ``set_user_option(key, value)`` call to save
6587
a setting in its matching location section (a new one is created
6588
if needed). (Robert Collins)
6589
6590
* Branch has two new methods, ``get_push_location`` and
6591
``set_push_location`` to respectively, get and set the push location.
6592
(Robert Collins)
6593
6594
* ``commands.register_command`` now takes an optional flag to signal that
6595
the registrant is planning to decorate an existing command. When
6596
given multiple plugins registering a command is not an error, and
6597
the original command class (whether built in or a plugin based one) is
6598
returned to the caller. There is a new error 'MustUseDecorated' for
6599
signalling when a wrapping command should switch to the original
6600
version. (Robert Collins)
6601
6602
* Some option parsing errors will raise 'BzrOptionError', allowing
6603
granular detection for decorating commands. (Robert Collins).
6604
6605
* ``Branch.read_working_inventory`` has moved to
6606
``WorkingTree.read_working_inventory``. This necessitated changes to
6607
``Branch.get_root_id``, and a move of ``Branch.set_inventory`` to
6608
WorkingTree as well. To make it clear that a WorkingTree cannot always
6609
be obtained ``Branch.working_tree()`` will raise
6610
``errors.NoWorkingTree`` if one cannot be obtained. (Robert Collins)
6611
6612
* All pending merges operations from Branch are now on WorkingTree.
6613
(Robert Collins)
6614
6615
* The follow operations from Branch have moved to WorkingTree::
6616
6617
add()
6618
commit()
6619
move()
6620
rename_one()
6621
unknowns()
6622
6623
(Robert Collins)
6624
6625
* ``bzrlib.add.smart_add_branch`` is now ``smart_add_tree``. (Robert Collins)
6626
6627
* New "rio" serialization format, similar to rfc-822. (Martin Pool)
6628
6629
* Rename selftests to ``bzrlib.tests.test_foo``. (John A Meinel, Martin
6630
Pool)
6631
6632
* ``bzrlib.plugin.all_plugins`` has been changed from an attribute to a
6633
query method. (Robert Collins)
6634
6635
* New options to read only the table-of-contents of a weave.
6636
(Denys Duchier)
6637
6638
* Raise NoSuchFile when someone tries to add a non-existant file.
6639
(Michael Ellerman)
6640
6641
* Simplify handling of DivergedBranches in ``cmd_pull()``.
6642
(Michael Ellerman)
6643
6644
* Branch.controlfile* logic has moved to lockablefiles.LockableFiles, which
6645
is exposed as ``Branch().control_files``. Also this has been altered with the
6646
controlfile pre/suffix replaced by simple method names like 'get' and
6647
'put'. (Aaron Bentley, Robert Collins).
6648
6649
* Deprecated functions and methods can now be marked as such using the
6650
``bzrlib.symbol_versioning`` module. Marked method have their docstring
6651
updated and will issue a DeprecationWarning using the warnings module
6652
when they are used. (Robert Collins)
6653
6654
* ``bzrlib.osutils.safe_unicode`` now exists to provide parameter coercion
6655
for functions that need unicode strings. (Robert Collins)
6656
6657
bzr 0.6 2005-10-28
6658
------------------
6659
6660
IMPROVEMENTS:
6661
6662
* pull now takes --verbose to show you what revisions are added or removed
6663
(John A Meinel)
6664
6665
* merge now takes a --show-base option to include the base text in
6666
conflicts.
6667
(Aaron Bentley)
6668
6669
* The config files are now read using ConfigObj, so '=' should be used as
6670
a separator, not ':'.
6671
(Aaron Bentley)
6672
6673
* New 'bzr commit --strict' option refuses to commit if there are
6674
any unknown files in the tree. To commit, make sure all files are
6675
either ignored, added, or deleted. (Michael Ellerman)
6676
6677
* The config directory is now ~/.bazaar, and there is a single file
6678
~/.bazaar/bazaar.conf storing email, editor and other preferences.
6679
(Robert Collins)
6680
6681
* 'bzr add' no longer takes a --verbose option, and a --quiet option
6682
has been added that suppresses all output.
6683
6684
* Improved zsh completion support in contrib/zsh, from Clint
6685
Adams.
6686
6687
* Builtin 'bzr annotate' command, by Martin Pool with improvements from
6688
Goffredo Baroncelli.
6689
6690
* 'bzr check' now accepts -v for verbose reporting, and checks for
6691
ghosts in the branch. (Robert Collins)
6692
6693
* New command 're-sign' which will regenerate the gpg signature for
6694
a revision. (Robert Collins)
6695
6696
* If you set ``check_signatures=require`` for a path in
6697
``~/.bazaar/branches.conf`` then bzr will invoke your
6698
``gpg_signing_command`` (defaults to gpg) and record a digital signature
6699
of your commit. (Robert Collins)
6700
6701
* New sftp transport, based on Paramiko. (Robey Pointer)
6702
6703
* 'bzr pull' now accepts '--clobber' which will discard local changes
6704
and make this branch identical to the source branch. (Robert Collins)
6705
6706
* Just give a quieter warning if a plugin can't be loaded, and
6707
put the details in .bzr.log. (Martin Pool)
6708
6709
* 'bzr branch' will now set the branch-name to the last component of the
6710
output directory, if one was supplied.
6711
6712
* If the option ``post_commit`` is set to one (or more) python function
6713
names (must be in the bzrlib namespace), then they will be invoked
6714
after the commit has completed, with the branch and ``revision_id`` as
6715
parameters. (Robert Collins)
6716
6717
* Merge now has a retcode of 1 when conflicts occur. (Robert Collins)
6718
6719
* --merge-type weave is now supported for file contents. Tree-shape
6720
changes are still three-way based. (Martin Pool, Aaron Bentley)
6721
6722
* 'bzr check' allows the first revision on revision-history to have
6723
parents - something that is expected for cheap checkouts, and occurs
6724
when conversions from baz do not have all history. (Robert Collins).
6725
6726
* 'bzr merge' can now graft unrelated trees together, if your specify
6727
0 as a base. (Aaron Bentley)
6728
6729
* 'bzr commit branch' and 'bzr commit branch/file1 branch/file2' now work
6730
(Aaron Bentley)
6731
6732
* Add '.sconsign*' to default ignore list. (Alexander Belchenko)
6733
6734
* 'bzr merge --reprocess' minimizes conflicts
6735
6736
TESTING:
6737
6738
* The 'bzr selftest --pattern' option for has been removed, now
6739
test specifiers on the command line can be simple strings, or
6740
regexps, or both. (Robert Collins)
6741
6742
* Passing -v to selftest will now show the time each test took to
6743
complete, which will aid in analysing performance regressions and
6744
related questions. (Robert Collins)
6745
6746
* 'bzr selftest' runs all tests, even if one fails, unless '--one'
6747
is given. (Martin Pool)
6748
6749
* There is a new method for TestCaseInTempDir, assertFileEqual, which
6750
will check that a given content is equal to the content of the named
6751
file. (Robert Collins)
6752
6753
* Fix test suite's habit of leaving many temporary log files in $TMPDIR.
6754
(Martin Pool)
6755
6756
INTERNALS:
6757
6758
* New 'testament' command and concept for making gpg-signatures
6759
of revisions that are not tied to a particular internal
6760
representation. (Martin Pool).
6761
6762
* Per-revision properties ('revprops') as key-value associated
6763
strings on each revision created when the revision is committed.
6764
Intended mainly for the use of external tools. (Martin Pool).
6765
6766
* Config options have moved from bzrlib.osutils to bzrlib.config.
6767
(Robert Collins)
6768
6769
* Improved command line option definitions allowing explanations
6770
for individual options, among other things. Contributed by
6771
Magnus Therning.
6772
6773
* Config options have moved from bzrlib.osutils to bzrlib.config.
6774
Configuration is now done via the config.Config interface:
6775
Depending on whether you have a Branch, a Location or no information
6776
available, construct a ``*Config``, and use its ``signature_checking``,
6777
``username`` and ``user_email`` methods. (Robert Collins)
6778
6779
* Plugins are now loaded under bzrlib.plugins, not bzrlib.plugin, and
6780
they are made available for other plugins to use. You should not
6781
import other plugins during the ``__init__`` of your plugin though, as
6782
no ordering is guaranteed, and the plugins directory is not on the
6783
python path. (Robert Collins)
6784
6785
* Branch.relpath has been moved to WorkingTree.relpath. WorkingTree no
6786
no longer takes an inventory, rather it takes an option branch
6787
parameter, and if None is given will open the branch at basedir
6788
implicitly. (Robert Collins)
6789
6790
* Cleaner exception structure and error reporting. Suggested by
6791
Scott James Remnant. (Martin Pool)
6792
6793
* Branch.remove has been moved to WorkingTree, which has also gained
6794
``lock_read``, ``lock_write`` and ``unlock`` methods for convenience.
6795
(Robert Collins)
6796
6797
* Two decorators, ``needs_read_lock`` and ``needs_write_lock`` have been
6798
added to the branch module. Use these to cause a function to run in a
6799
read or write lock respectively. (Robert Collins)
6800
6801
* ``Branch.open_containing`` now returns a tuple (Branch, relative-path),
6802
which allows direct access to the common case of 'get me this file
6803
from its branch'. (Robert Collins)
6804
6805
* Transports can register using ``register_lazy_transport``, and they
6806
will be loaded when first used. (Martin Pool)
6807
6808
* 'pull' has been factored out of the command as ``WorkingTree.pull()``.
6809
A new option to WorkingTree.pull has been added, clobber, which will
6810
ignore diverged history and pull anyway.
6811
(Robert Collins)
6812
6813
* config.Config has a ``get_user_option`` call that accepts an option name.
6814
This will be looked up in branches.conf and bazaar.conf as normal.
6815
It is intended that this be used by plugins to support options -
6816
options of built in programs should have specific methods on the config.
6817
(Robert Collins)
6818
6819
* ``merge.merge_inner`` now has tempdir as an optional parameter.
6820
(Robert Collins)
6821
6822
* Tree.kind is not recorded at the top level of the hierarchy, as it was
6823
missing on EmptyTree, leading to a bug with merge on EmptyTrees.
6824
(Robert Collins)
6825
6826
* ``WorkingTree.__del__`` has been removed, it was non deterministic and not
6827
doing what it was intended to. See ``WorkingTree.__init__`` for a comment
6828
about future directions. (Robert Collins/Martin Pool)
6829
6830
* bzrlib.transport.http has been modified so that only 404 urllib errors
6831
are returned as NoSuchFile. Other exceptions will propogate as normal.
6832
This allows debuging of actual errors. (Robert Collins)
6833
6834
* bzrlib.transport.Transport now accepts *ONLY* url escaped relative paths
6835
to apis like 'put', 'get' and 'has'. This is to provide consistent
6836
behaviour - it operates on url's only. (Robert Collins)
6837
6838
* Transports can register using ``register_lazy_transport``, and they
6839
will be loaded when first used. (Martin Pool)
6840
6841
* ``merge_flex`` no longer calls ``conflict_handler.finalize()``, instead that
6842
is called by ``merge_inner``. This is so that the conflict count can be
6843
retrieved (and potentially manipulated) before returning to the caller
6844
of ``merge_inner``. Likewise 'merge' now returns the conflict count to the
6845
caller. (Robert Collins)
6846
6847
* ``revision.revision_graph`` can handle having only partial history for
6848
a revision - that is no revisions in the graph with no parents.
6849
(Robert Collins).
6850
6851
* New ``builtins.branch_files`` uses the standard ``file_list`` rules to
6852
produce a branch and a list of paths, relative to that branch
6853
(Aaron Bentley)
6854
6855
* New TestCase.addCleanup facility.
6856
6857
* New ``bzrlib.version_info`` tuple (similar to ``sys.version_info``),
6858
which can be used by programs importing bzrlib.
6859
6860
BUG FIXES:
6861
6862
* Better handling of branches in directories with non-ascii names.
6863
(Joel Rosdahl, Panagiotis Papadakos)
6864
6865
* Upgrades of trees with no commits will not fail due to accessing
6866
[-1] in the revision-history. (Andres Salomon)

6870
--------------------
6871
6872
BUG FIXES:
6873
6874
* Fix problem in pulling over http from machines that do not
6875
allow directories to be listed.
6876
6877
* Avoid harmless warning about invalid hash cache after
6878
upgrading branch format.
6879
6880
PERFORMANCE:
6881
6882
* Avoid some unnecessary http operations in branch and pull.

bzr 0.1 2005-10-11
6886
------------------
6887
6888
NOTES:
6889
6890
* 'bzr branch' over http initially gives a very high estimate
6891
of completion time but it should fall as the first few
6892
revisions are pulled in. branch is still slow on
6893
high-latency connections.

6895
BUG FIXES:
6896
6897
* bzr-man.py has been updated to work again. Contributed by
6898
Rob Weir.
6899
6900
* Locking is now done with fcntl.lockf which works with NFS
6901
file systems. Contributed by Harald Meland.
6902
6903
* When a merge encounters a file that has been deleted on
6904
one side and modified on the other, the old contents are
6905
written out to foo.BASE and foo.SIDE, where SIDE is this
6906
or OTHER. Contributed by Aaron Bentley.
6907
6908
* Export was choosing incorrect file paths for the content of
6909
the tarball, this has been fixed by Aaron Bentley.
6910
6911
* Commit will no longer commit without a log message, an
6912
error is returned instead. Contributed by Jelmer Vernooij.
6913
6914
* If you commit a specific file in a sub directory, any of its
6915
parent directories that are added but not listed will be
6916
automatically included. Suggested by Michael Ellerman.
6917
6918
* bzr commit and upgrade did not correctly record new revisions
6919
for files with only a change to their executable status.
6920
bzr will correct this when it encounters it. Fixed by
6921
Robert Collins
6922
6923
* HTTP tests now force off the use of ``http_proxy`` for the duration.
6924
Contributed by Gustavo Niemeyer.
6925
6926
* Fix problems in merging weave-based branches that have
6927
different partial views of history.
6928
6929
* Symlink support: working with symlinks when not in the root of a
6930
bzr tree was broken, patch from Scott James Remnant.
6931
6932
IMPROVEMENTS:
6933
6934
* 'branch' now accepts a --basis parameter which will take advantage
6935
of local history when making a new branch. This allows faster
6936
branching of remote branches. Contributed by Aaron Bentley.
6937
6938
* New tree format based on weave files, called version 5.
6939
Existing branches can be upgraded to this format using
6940
'bzr upgrade'.
6941
6942
* Symlinks are now versionable. Initial patch by
6943
Erik Toubro Nielsen, updated to head by Robert Collins.
6944
6945
* Executable bits are tracked on files. Patch from Gustavo
6946
Niemeyer.
6947
6948
* 'bzr status' now shows unknown files inside a selected directory.
6949
Patch from Heikki Paajanen.
6950
6951
* Merge conflicts are recorded in .bzr. Two new commands 'conflicts'
6952
and 'resolve' have needed added, which list and remove those
6953
merge conflicts respectively. A conflicted tree cannot be committed
6954
in. Contributed by Aaron Bentley.
6955
6956
* 'rm' is now an alias for 'remove'.
6957
6958
* Stores now split out their content in a single byte prefixed hash,
6959
dropping the density of files per directory by 256. Contributed by
6960
Gustavo Niemeyer.
6961
6962
* 'bzr diff -r branch:URL' will now perform a diff between two branches.
6963
Contributed by Robert Collins.
6964
6965
* 'bzr log' with the default formatter will show merged revisions,
6966
indented to the right. Initial implementation contributed by Gustavo
6967
Niemeyer, made incremental by Robert Collins.
6968
6969
6970
INTERNALS:
6971
6972
* Test case failures have the exception printed after the log
6973
for your viewing pleasure.
6974
6975
* InventoryEntry is now an abstract base class, use one of the
6976
concrete InventoryDirectory etc classes instead.
6977
6978
* Branch raises an UnsupportedFormatError when it detects a
6979
bzr branch it cannot understand. This allows for precise
6980
handling of such circumstances.
6981
6982
* Remove RevisionReference class; ``Revision.parent_ids`` is now simply a
6983
list of their ids and ``parent_sha1s`` is a list of their corresponding
6984
sha1s (for old branches only at the moment.)
6985
6986
* New method-object style interface for Commit() and Fetch().
6987
6988
* Renamed ``Branch.last_patch()`` to ``Branch.last_revision()``, since
6989
we call them revisions not patches.
6990
6991
* Move ``copy_branch`` to ``bzrlib.clone.copy_branch``. The destination
6992
directory is created if it doesn't exist.
6993
6994
* Inventories now identify the files which were present by
6995
giving the revision *of that file*.
6996
6997
* Inventory and Revision XML contains a version identifier.
6998
This must be consistent with the overall branch version
6999
but allows for more flexibility in future upgrades.
7000
7001
TESTING:
7002
7003
* Removed testsweet module so that tests can be run after
7004
bzr installed by 'bzr selftest'.
7005
7006
* 'bzr selftest' command-line arguments can now be partial ids
7007
of tests to run, e.g. ``bzr selftest test_weave``
7008
7009
7010
bzr 0.0.9 2005-09-23
7011
--------------------
7012
7013
BUG FIXES:
7014
7015
* Fixed "branch -r" option.
7016
7017
* Fix remote access to branches containing non-compressed history.
7018
(Robert Collins).
7019
7020
* Better reliability of http server tests. (John Arbash-Meinel)
7021
7022
* Merge graph maximum distance calculation fix. (Aaron Bentley)
7023
7024
* Various minor bug in windows support have been fixed, largely in the
7025
test suite. Contributed by Alexander Belchenko.
7026
7027
IMPROVEMENTS:
7028
7029
* Status now accepts a -r argument to give status between chosen
7030
revisions. Contributed by Heikki Paajanen.
7031
7032
* Revision arguments no longer use +/-/= to control ranges, instead
7033
there is a 'before' namespace, which limits the successive namespace.
7034
For example '$ bzr log -r date:yesterday..before:date:today' will
7035
select everything from yesterday and before today. Contributed by
7036
Robey Pointer
7037
7038
* There is now a bzr.bat file created by distutils when building on
7039
Windows. Contributed by Alexander Belchenko.
7040
7041
INTERNALS:
7042
7043
* Removed uuid() as it was unused.
7044
7045
* Improved 'fetch' code for pulling revisions from one branch into
7046
another (used by pull, merged, etc.)
7047
7048
7049
bzr 0.0.8 2005-09-20
7050
--------------------
7051
7052
IMPROVEMENTS:
7053
7054
* Adding a file whose parent directory is not versioned will
7055
implicitly add the parent, and so on up to the root. This means
7056
you should never need to explictly add a directory, they'll just
7057
get added when you add a file in the directory. Contributed by
7058
Michael Ellerman.
7059
7060
* Ignore ``.DS_Store`` (contains Mac metadata) by default.
7061
(Nir Soffer)
7062
7063
* If you set ``BZR_EDITOR`` in the environment, it is checked in
7064
preference to EDITOR and the config file for the interactive commit
7065
editing program. Related to this is a bugfix where a missing program
7066
set in EDITOR would cause editing to fail, now the fallback program
7067
for the operating system is still tried.
7068
7069
* Files that are not directories/symlinks/regular files will no longer
7070
cause bzr to fail, it will just ignore them by default. You cannot add
7071
them to the tree though - they are not versionable.
7072
7073
7074
INTERNALS:
7075
7076
* Refactor xml packing/unpacking.
7077
7078
BUG FIXES:
7079
7080
* Fixed 'bzr mv' by Ollie Rutherfurd.
7081
7082
* Fixed strange error when trying to access a nonexistent http
7083
branch.
7084
7085
* Make sure that the hashcache gets written out if it can't be
7086
read.
7087
7088
7089
PORTABILITY:
7090
7091
* Various Windows fixes from Ollie Rutherfurd.
7092
7093
* Quieten warnings about locking; patch from Matt Lavin.
7094
7095
7096
bzr-0.0.7 2005-09-02
7097
--------------------
7098
7099
NEW FEATURES:
7100
7101
* ``bzr shell-complete`` command contributed by Clint Adams to
7102
help with intelligent shell completion.
7103
7104
* New expert command ``bzr find-merge-base`` for debugging merges.
7105
7106
7107
ENHANCEMENTS:
7108
7109
* Much better merge support.
7110
7111
* merge3 conflicts are now reported with markers like '<<<<<<<'
7112
(seven characters) which is the same as CVS and pleases things
7113
like emacs smerge.
7114
7115
7116
BUG FIXES:
7117
7118
* ``bzr upgrade`` no longer fails when trying to fix trees that
7119
mention revisions that are not present.
7120
7121
* Fixed bugs in listing plugins from ``bzr plugins``.
7122
7123
* Fix case of $EDITOR containing options for the editor.
7124
7125
* Fix log -r refusing to show the last revision.
7126
(Patch from Goffredo Baroncelli.)
7127
7128
7129
CHANGES:
7130
7131
* ``bzr log --show-ids`` shows the revision ids of all parents.
7132
7133
* Externally provided commands on your $BZRPATH no longer need
7134
to recognize --bzr-usage to work properly, and can just handle
7135
--help themselves.
7136
7137
7138
LIBRARY:
7139
7140
* Changed trace messages to go through the standard logging
7141
framework, so that they can more easily be redirected by
7142
libraries.
7143
7144
7145
7146
bzr-0.0.6 2005-08-18
7147
--------------------
7148
7149
NEW FEATURES:
7150
7151
* Python plugins, automatically loaded from the directories on
7152
``BZR_PLUGIN_PATH`` or ``~/.bzr.conf/plugins`` by default.
7153
7154
* New 'bzr mkdir' command.
7155
7156
* Commit mesage is fetched from an editor if not given on the
7157
command line; patch from Torsten Marek.
7158
7159
* ``bzr log -m FOO`` displays commits whose message matches regexp
7160
FOO.
7161
7162
* ``bzr add`` with no arguments adds everything under the current directory.
7163
7164
* ``bzr mv`` does move or rename depending on its arguments, like
7165
the Unix command.
7166
7167
* ``bzr missing`` command shows a summary of the differences
7168
between two trees. (Merged from John Arbash-Meinel.)
7169
7170
* An email address for commits to a particular tree can be
7171
specified by putting it into .bzr/email within a branch. (Based
7172
on a patch from Heikki Paajanen.)
7173
7174
7175
ENHANCEMENTS:
7176
7177
* Faster working tree operations.
7178
7179
7180
CHANGES:
7181
7182
* 3rd-party modules shipped with bzr are copied within the bzrlib
7183
python package, so that they can be installed by the setup
7184
script without clashing with anything already existing on the
7185
system. (Contributed by Gustavo Niemeyer.)
7186
7187
* Moved plugins directory to bzrlib/, so that there's a standard
7188
plugin directory which is not only installed with bzr itself but
7189
is also available when using bzr from the development tree.
7190
``BZR_PLUGIN_PATH`` and ``DEFAULT_PLUGIN_PATH`` are then added to the
7191
standard plugins directory.
7192
7193
* When exporting to a tarball with ``bzr export --format tgz``, put
7194
everything under a top directory rather than dumping it into the
7195
current directory. This can be overridden with the ``--root``
7196
option. Patch from William Dodé and John Meinel.
7197
7198
* New ``bzr upgrade`` command to upgrade the format of a branch,
7199
replacing ``bzr check --update``.
7200
7201
* Files within store directories are no longer marked readonly on
7202
disk.
7203
7204
* Changed ``bzr log`` output to a more compact form suggested by
7205
John A Meinel. Old format is available with the ``--long`` or
7206
``-l`` option, patched by William Dodé.
7207
7208
* By default the commit command refuses to record a revision with
7209
no changes unless the ``--unchanged`` option is given.
7210
7211
* The ``--no-plugins``, ``--profile`` and ``--builtin`` command
7212
line options must come before the command name because they
7213
affect what commands are available; all other options must come
7214
after the command name because their interpretation depends on
7215
it.
7216
7217
* ``branch`` and ``clone`` added as aliases for ``branch``.
7218
7219
* Default log format is back to the long format; the compact one
7220
is available with ``--short``.
7221
7222
7223
BUG FIXES:
7224
7225
* Fix bugs in committing only selected files or within a subdirectory.
7226
7227
7228
bzr-0.0.5 2005-06-15
7229
---------------------
7230
7231
CHANGES:
7232
7233
* ``bzr`` with no command now shows help rather than giving an
7234
error. Suggested by Michael Ellerman.
7235
7236
* ``bzr status`` output format changed, because svn-style output
7237
doesn't really match the model of bzr. Now files are grouped by
7238
status and can be shown with their IDs. ``bzr status --all``
7239
shows all versioned files and unknown files but not ignored files.
7240
7241
* ``bzr log`` runs from most-recent to least-recent, the reverse
7242
of the previous order. The previous behaviour can be obtained
7243
with the ``--forward`` option.
7244
7245
* ``bzr inventory`` by default shows only filenames, and also ids
7246
if ``--show-ids`` is given, in which case the id is the second
7247
field.
7248
7249
7250
ENHANCEMENTS:
7251
7252
* New 'bzr whoami --email' option shows only the email component
7253
of the user identification, from Jo Vermeulen.
7254
7255
* New ``bzr ignore PATTERN`` command.
7256
7257
* Nicer error message for broken pipe, interrupt and similar
7258
conditions that don't indicate an internal error.
7259
7260
* Add ``.*.sw[nop] .git .*.tmp *,v`` to default ignore patterns.
7261
7262
* Per-branch locks keyed on ``.bzr/branch-lock``, available in
7263
either read or write mode.
7264
7265
* New option ``bzr log --show-ids`` shows revision and file ids.
7266
7267
* New usage ``bzr log FILENAME`` shows only revisions that
7268
affected that file.
7269
7270
* Changed format for describing changes in ``bzr log -v``.
7271
7272
* New option ``bzr commit --file`` to take a message from a file,
7273
suggested by LarstiQ.
7274
7275
* New syntax ``bzr status [FILE...]`` contributed by Bartosz
7276
Oler. File may be in a branch other than the working directory.
7277
7278
* ``bzr log`` and ``bzr root`` can be given an http URL instead of
7279
a filename.
7280
7281
* Commands can now be defined by external programs or scripts
7282
in a directory on $BZRPATH.
7283
7284
* New "stat cache" avoids reading the contents of files if they
7285
haven't changed since the previous time.
7286
7287
* If the Python interpreter is too old, try to find a better one
7288
or give an error. Based on a patch from Fredrik Lundh.
7289
7290
* New optional parameter ``bzr info [BRANCH]``.
7291
7292
* New form ``bzr commit SELECTED`` to commit only selected files.
7293
7294
* New form ``bzr log -r FROM:TO`` shows changes in selected
7295
range; contributed by John A Meinel.
7296
7297
* New option ``bzr diff --diff-options 'OPTS'`` allows passing
7298
options through to an external GNU diff.
7299
7300
* New option ``bzr add --no-recurse`` to add a directory but not
7301
their contents.
7302
7303
* ``bzr --version`` now shows more information if bzr is being run
7304
from a branch.
7305
7306
7307
BUG FIXES:
7308
7309
* Fixed diff format so that added and removed files will be
7310
handled properly by patch. Fix from Lalo Martins.
7311
7312
* Various fixes for files whose names contain spaces or other
7313
metacharacters.
7314
7315
7316
TESTING:
7317
7318
* Converted black-box test suites from Bourne shell into Python;
7319
now run using ``./testbzr``. Various structural improvements to
7320
the tests.
7321
7322
* testbzr by default runs the version of bzr found in the same
7323
directory as the tests, or the one given as the first parameter.
7324
7325
* testbzr also runs the internal tests, so the only command
7326
required to check is just ``./testbzr``.
7327
7328
* testbzr requires python2.4, but can be used to test bzr running
7329
under a different version.
7330
7331
* Tests added for many other changes in this release.
7332
7333
7334
INTERNAL:
7335
7336
* Included ElementTree library upgraded to 1.2.6 by Fredrik Lundh.
7337
7338
* Refactor command functions into Command objects based on HCT by
7339
Scott James Remnant.
7340
7341
* Better help messages for many commands.
7342
7343
* Expose ``bzrlib.open_tracefile()`` to start the tracefile; until
7344
this is called trace messages are just discarded.
7345
7346
* New internal function ``find_touching_revisions()`` and hidden
7347
command touching-revisions trace the changes to a given file.
7348
7349
* Simpler and faster ``compare_inventories()`` function.
7350
7351
* ``bzrlib.open_tracefile()`` takes a tracefilename parameter.
7352
7353
* New AtomicFile class.
7354
7355
* New developer commands ``added``, ``modified``.
7356
7357
7358
PORTABILITY:
7359
7360
* Cope on Windows on python2.3 by using the weaker random seed.
7361
2.4 is now only recommended.
7362
7363
7364
bzr-0.0.4 2005-04-22
7365
---------------------
7366
7367
ENHANCEMENTS:
7368
7369
* 'bzr diff' optionally takes a list of files to diff. Still a bit
7370
basic. Patch from QuantumG.
7371
7372
* More default ignore patterns.
7373
7374
* New 'bzr log --verbose' shows a list of files changed in the
7375
changeset. Patch from Sebastian Cote.
7376
7377
* Roll over ~/.bzr.log if it gets too large.
7378
7379
* Command abbreviations 'ci', 'st', 'stat', '?' based on a patch
7380
by Jason Diamon.
7381
7382
* New 'bzr help commands' based on a patch from Denys Duchier.
7383
7384
7385
CHANGES:
7386
7387
* User email is determined by looking at $BZREMAIL or ~/.bzr.email
7388
or $EMAIL. All are decoded by the locale preferred encoding.
7389
If none of these are present user@hostname is used. The host's
7390
fully-qualified name is not used because that tends to fail when
7391
there are DNS problems.
7392
7393
* New 'bzr whoami' command instead of username user-email.
7394
7395
7396
BUG FIXES:
7397
7398
* Make commit safe for hardlinked bzr trees.
7399
7400
* Some Unicode/locale fixes.
7401
7402
* Partial workaround for ``difflib.unified_diff`` not handling
7403
trailing newlines properly.
7404
7405
7406
INTERNAL:
7407
7408
* Allow docstrings for help to be in PEP0257 format. Patch from
7409
Matt Brubeck.
7410
7411
* More tests in test.sh.
7412
7413
* Write profile data to a temporary file not into working
7414
directory and delete it when done.
7415
7416
* Smaller .bzr.log with process ids.
7417
7418
7419
PORTABILITY:
7420
7421
* Fix opening of ~/.bzr.log on Windows. Patch from Andrew
7422
Bennetts.
7423
7424
* Some improvements in handling paths on Windows, based on a patch
7425
from QuantumG.
7426
7427
7428
bzr-0.0.3 2005-04-06
7429
---------------------
7430
7431
ENHANCEMENTS:
7432
7433
* New "directories" internal command lists versioned directories
7434
in the tree.
7435
7436
* Can now say "bzr commit --help".
7437
7438
* New "rename" command to rename one file to a different name
7439
and/or directory.
