BUG FIXES:
18
19
* Allow BzrDir implementation to implement backing up of
20
control directory. (#139691)
21
22
* Don't call iteritems on transport_list_registry, because it may
23
change during iteration. (Martin Pool, #277048)
24
25
* Fix SystemError in ``_patiencediff_c`` module by calling
26
PyErr_NoMemory() before returning NULL in PatienceSequenceMatcher_new.
27
(Andrew Bennetts, #303206)
28
29
* Give proper error message for diff with non-existent dotted revno.
30
(Marius Kruger, #301969)
31
32
* ``Transport.readv()`` defaults to not reading more than 100MB in a
33
single array. Further ``RemoteTransport.readv`` sets this to 5MB to
34
work better with how it splits its requests.
35
(John Arbash Meinel, #303538)
36
37
* ``pull -v`` now respects the log_format configuration variable.

(Aaron Bentley)

INTERNALS:
47
48
* ``KnitVersionedFiles.get_record_stream()`` will now chose a
49
more optimal ordering when the keys are requested 'unordered'.
50
Previously the order was fully random, now the records should be
51
returned from each pack in turn, in forward I/O order.
52
(John Arbash Meinel)
53
54
* The default http handler has been changed from pycurl to urllib.
55
The default is still pycurl for https connections. (The only
56
advantage of pycurl is that it checks ssl certificates.)

(John Arbash Meinel)

bzr 1.10 2008-12-05
61
-------------------
62
63
Bazaar 1.10 has several performance improvements for copying revisions
64
(especially for small updates to large projects). There has also been a
65
significant amount of effort in polishing stacked branches. The commands
66
``shelve`` and ``unshelve`` have become core commands, with an improved
67
implementation.
68
69
The only changes versus bzr-1.10rc1 are bugfixes for stacked branches.
70
71
BUG FIXES:
72
73
* Don't set a pack write cache size from RepoFetcher, because the
74
cache is not coherent with reads and causes ShortReadvErrors.
75
This reverses the change that fixed #294479.
76
(Martin Pool, #303856)
77
78
* Properly handle when a revision can be inserted as a delta versus
79
when it needs to be expanded to a fulltext for stacked branches.
80
There was a bug involving merge revisions. As a method to help
81
prevent future difficulties, also make stacked fetches sort
82
topologically. (John Arbash Meinel, #304841)
83
84
85
bzr 1.10rc1 2008-11-28
86
----------------------
87
88
This release of Bazaar focuses on performance improvements when pushing
89
and pulling revisions, both locally and to remote networks. The popular
90
``shelve`` and ``unshelve`` commands, used to interactively revert and
91
restore work in progress, have been merged from bzrtools into the bzr
92
core. There are also bug fixes for portability, and for stacked branches.
93
94
NEW FEATURES:
95
96
* New ``commit_message_template`` hook that is called by the commit
97
code to generate a template commit message. (Jelmer Vernooij)
98
99
* New `shelve` and `unshelve` commands allow undoing and redoing changes.
100
(Aaron Bentley)
101
102
IMPROVEMENTS:
103
104
* ``(Remote)Branch.copy_content_into`` no longer generates the full revision
105
history just to set the last revision info.
106
(Andrew Bennetts, John Arbash Meinel)
107
108
* Fetches between formats with different serializers (such as
109
pack-0.92-subtree and 1.9-rich-root) are faster now. This is due to
110
operating on batches of 100 revisions at time rather than
111
one-by-one. (Andrew Bennetts, John Arbash Meinel)
112
113
* Search index files corresponding to pack files we've already used
114
before searching others, because they are more likely to have the
115
keys we're looking for. This reduces the number of iix and tix
116
files accessed when pushing 1 new revision, for instance.
117
(John Arbash Meinel)
118
119
* Signatures to transfer are calculated more efficiently in
120
``item_keys_introduced_by``. (Andrew Bennetts, John Arbash Meinel)
121
122
* The generic fetch code can once again copy revisions and signatures
123
without extracting them completely to fulltexts and then serializing
124
them back down into byte strings. This is a significant performance
125
improvement when fetching from a stacked branch.
126
(John Arbash Meinel, #300289)
127
128
* When making a large readv() request over ``bzr+ssh``, break up the
129
request into more manageable chunks. Because the RPC is not yet able
130
to stream, this helps keep us from buffering too much information at
131
once. (John Arbash Meinel)
132
133
BUG FIXES:
134
135
* Better message when the user needs to set their Launchpad ID.
136
(Martin Pool, #289148)
137
138
* ``bzr commit --local`` doesn't access the master branch anymore.
139
This fixes a regression introduced in 1.9. (Marius Kruger, #299313)
140
141
* Don't call the system ``chdir()`` with an empty path. Sun OS seems
142
to give an error in that case. Also, don't count on ``getcwd()``
143
being able to allocate a new buffer, which is a gnu extension.
144
(John Arbash Meinel, Martin Pool, Harry Hirsch, #297831)
145
146
* Don't crash when requesting log --forward <file> for a revision range
147
starting with a dotted revno.
148
(Vincent Ladeuil, #300055)
149
150
* Don't create text deltas spanning stacked repositories; this could
151
cause "Revision X not present in Y" when later accessing them.
152
(Martin Pool, #288751)
153
154
* Pack repositories are now able to reload the pack listing and retry
155
the current operation if another action causes the data to be
156
repacked. (John Arbash Meinel, #153786)
157
158
* PermissionDenied errors from smart servers no longer cause
159
"PermissionDenied: "None"" on the client.
160
(Andrew Bennetts, #299254)
161
162
* Pushing to a stacked pack repository now batches writes, the same
163
way writes are batched to ordinary pack repository. This makes
164
pushing to a stacked branch over the network much faster.
165
(Andrew Bennetts, #294479)
166
167
* TooManyConcurrentRequests no longer occur when a fetch fails and
168
tries to abort a write group. This allows the root cause (e.g. a
169
network interruption) to be reported. (Andrew Bennetts, #297014)
170
171
* RemoteRepository.get_parent_map now uses fallback repositories.
172
(Aaron Bentley, #297991?, #293679?)
173
174
API CHANGES:
175
176
* ``CommitBuilder`` now validates the strings it will be committing,
177
to ensure that they do not have characters that will not be properly
178
round-tripped. For now, it just checks for characters that are
179
invalid in the XML form. (John Arbash Meinel, #295161)
180
181
* Constructor parameters for NewPack (internal to pack repositories)
182
have changed incompatibly.
183
184
* ``Repository.abort_write_group`` now accepts an optional
185
``suppress_errors`` flag. Repository implementations that override
186
``abort_write_group`` will need to be updated to accept the new
187
argument. Subclasses that only override ``_abort_write_group``
188
don't need to change.
189
190
* Transport implementations must provide copy_tree_to_transport. A default
191
implementation is provided for Transport subclasses.
192
193
TESTING:
194
195
* ``bzr selftest`` now fails if no doctests are found in a module
196
that's expected to have them. (Martin Pool)
197
198
* Doctests now only report the first failure. (Martin Pool)
199
200
201
bzr 1.9 2008-11-07
202
------------------
203
204
This release of Bazaar adds a new repository format, ``1.9``, with smaller
205
and more efficient index files. This format can be specified when
206
creating a new repository, or used to losslessly upgrade an existing
207
repository. bzr 1.9 also speeds most operations over the smart server
208
protocol, makes annotate faster, and uses less memory when making
209
checkouts or pulling large amounts of data.
210
211
BUG FIXES:
212
213
* Fix "invalid property value 'branch-nick' for None" regression with
214
branches bound to svn branches. (Martin Pool, #293440)
215
216
* Fix SSL/https on Python2.6. (Vincent Ladeuil, #293054)
217
218
* ``SFTPTransport.readv()`` had a bug when requests were out-of-order.
219
This only triggers some-of-the-time on Knit format repositories.
220
(John Arbash Meinel, #293746)
221
222
223
bzr 1.9rc1 2008-10-31
224
---------------------
225
226
NEW FEATURES:
227
228
* New Branch hook ``transform_fallback_location`` allows a function to
229
be called when looking up the stacked source. (Michael Hudson)
230
231
* New repository formats ``1.9`` and ``1.9-rich-root``. These have all
232
the functionality of ``1.6``, but use the new btree indexes.
233
These indexes are both smaller and faster for access to historical
234
information. (John Arbash Meinel)
235
236
IMPROVEMENTS:
237
238
* ``BTreeIndex`` code now is able to prefetch extra pages to help tune
239
the tradeoff between bandwidth and latency. Should be tuned
240
appropriately to not impact commands which need minimal information,
241
but provide a significant boost to ones that need more context. Only
242
has a direct impact on the ``--development2`` format which uses
243
btree's for the indexes. (John Arbash Meinel)
244
245
* ``bzr dump-btree`` is a hidden command introduced to allow dumping
246
the contents of a compressed btree file. (John Arbash Meinel)
247
248
* ``bzr pack`` now tells the index builders to optimize for size. For
249
btree index repositories, this can save 25% of the index size
250
(mostly in the text indexes). (John Arbash Meinel)
251
252
* ``bzr push`` to an existing branch or repository on a smart server
253
is faster, due to Bazaar making more use of the ``get_parent_map``
254
RPC when querying the remote branch's revision graph.
255
(Andrew Bennetts)
256
257
* default username for bzr+ssh and sftp can be configured in
258
authentication.conf. (Aaron Bentley)
259
260
* launchpad-login now provides a default username for bzr+ssh and sftp
261
URLs, allowing username-free URLs to work for everyone. (Aaron Bentley)
262
263
* ``lp:`` lookups no longer include usernames, making them shareable and
264
shorter. (Aaron Bentley)
265
266
* New ``PackRepository.autopack`` smart server RPC, which does
267
autopacking entirely on the server. This is much faster than
268
autopacking via plain file methods, which downloads a large amount
269
of pack data and then re-uploads the same pack data into a single
270
file. This fixes a major (although infrequent) cause of lengthy
271
delays when using a smart server. For example, pushing the 10th
272
revision to a repository with 9 packs now takes 44 RPCs rather than
273
179, and much less bandwidth too. This requires Bazaar 1.9 on both
274
the client and the server, otherwise the client will fallback to the
275
slower method. (Andrew Bennetts)
276
277
BUG FIXES:
278
279
* A failure to load a plugin due to an IncompatibleAPI exception is
280
now correctly reported. (Robert Collins, #279451)
281
282
* API versioning support now has a multiple-version checking api
283
``require_any_api``. (Robert Collins, #279447)
284
285
* ``bzr branch --stacked`` from a smart server to a standalone branch
286
works again. This fixes a regression in 1.7 and 1.8.
287
(Andrew Bennetts, #270397)
288
289
* ``bzr co`` uses less memory. It used to unpack the entire WT into
290
memory before writing it to disk. This was a little bit faster, but
291
consumed lots of memory. (John Arbash Meinel, #269456)
292
293
* ``bzr missing --quiet`` no longer prints messages about whether
294
there are missing revisions. The exit code indicates whether there
295
were or not. (Martin Pool, #284748)
296
297
* Fixes to the ``annotate`` code. The fast-path which re-used the
298
stored deltas was accidentally disabled all the time, instead of
299
only when a branch was stacked. Second, the code would accidentally
300
re-use a delta even if it wasn't against the left-parent, this
301
could only happen if ``bzr reconcile`` decided that the parent
302
ordering was incorrect in the file graph. (John Arbash Meinel)
303
304
* "Permission denied" errors that occur when pushing a new branch to a
305
smart server no longer cause tracebacks. (Andrew Bennetts, #278673)
306
307
* Some compatibility fixes for building the extensions with MSVC and
308
for python2.4. (John Arbash Meinel, #277484)
309
310
* The index logic is now able to reload the list of pack files if and
311
index ends up disappearing. We still don't reload if the pack data
312
itself goes missing after checking the index. This bug appears as a
313
transient failure (file not found) when another process is writing
314
to the repository. (John Arbash Meinel, #153786)
315
316
* ``bzr switch`` and ``bzr bind`` will now update the branch nickname if
317
it was previously set. All checkouts will now refer to the bound branch
318
for a nickname if one was not explicitly set.
319
(Marius Kruger, #230903)
320
321
DOCUMENTATION:
322
323
* Improved hook documentation. (Michael Ernst)
324
325
API CHANGES:
326
327
* commands.plugins_cmds is now a CommandRegistry, not a dict.
328
329
INTERNALS:
330
331
* New AuthenticationConfig.set_credentials method allows easy programmatic
332
configuration of authetication credentials.
333
334
335
bzr 1.8 2008-10-16
336
------------------
337
338
Bazaar 1.8 includes several fixes that improve working tree performance,
339
display of revision logs, and merges. The bzr testsuite now passes on OS
340
X and Python 2.6, and almost completely passes on Windows. The
341
smartserver code has gained several bug fixes and performance
342
improvements, and can now run server-side hooks within an http server.
343
344
BUG FIXES:
345
346
* Fix "Must end write group" error when another error occurs during
347
``bzr push``. (Andrew Bennetts, #230902)
348
349
PORTABILITY:
350
351
* Some Pyrex versions require the WIN32 macro defined to compile on
352
that platform. (Alexander Belchenko, Martin Pool, #277481)
353
354
355
bzr 1.8rc1 2008-10-07
356
---------------------
357
358
CHANGES:
359
360
* ``bzr log file`` has been changed. It now uses a different method
361
for determining which revisions to show as merging the changes to
362
the file. It now only shows revisions which merged the change
363
towards your mainline. This simplifies the output, makes it faster,
364
and reduces memory consumption. (John Arbash Meinel)
365
366
* ``bzr merge`` now defaults to having ``--reprocess`` set, whenever
367
``--show-base`` is not supplied. (John Arbash Meinel)
368
369
* ``bzr+http//`` will now optionally load plugins and write logs on the
370
server. (Marius Kruger)
371
372
* ``bzrlib._dirstate_helpers_c.pyx`` does not compile correctly with
373
Pyrex 0.9.4.1 (it generates C code which causes segfaults). We
374
explicitly blacklist that version of the compiler for that
375
extension. Packaged versions will include .c files created with
376
pyrex >= 0.9.6 so it doesn't effect releases, only users running
377
from the source tree. (John Arbash Meinel, #276868)
378
379
FEATURES:
380
381
* bzr is now compatible with python-2.6. python-2.6 is not yet officially
382
supported (nor released, tests were conducted with the dev version of
383
python-2.6rc2), but all known problems have been fixed. Feedback
384
welcome.
385
(Vincent Ladeuil, #269535)
386
387
IMPROVEMENTS:
388
389
* ``bzr annotate`` will now include uncommitted changes from the local
390
working tree by default. Such uncommitted changes are given the
391
revision number they would get if a commit was done, followed with a
392
? to indicate that its not actually known. (Robert Collins, #3439)
393
394
* ``bzr branch`` now accepts a ``--standalone`` option, which creates a
395
standalone branch regardless of the presence of shared repositories.
396
(Daniel Watkins)
397
398
* ``bzr push`` is faster in the case there are no new revisions to
399
push. It is also faster if there are no tags in the local branch.
400
(Andrew Bennetts)
401
402
* File changes during a commit will update the tree stat cache.
403
(Robert Collins)
404
405
* Location aliases can now accept a trailing path. (Micheal Hudson)
406
407
* New hooks ``Lock.hooks`` when LockDirs are acquired and released.
408
(Robert Collins, MartinPool)
409
410
* Switching in heavyweight checkouts uses the master branch's context, not
411
the checkout's context. (Adrian Wilkins)
412
413
* ``status`` on large trees is now faster, due to optimisations in the
414
walkdirs code. Of particular note, the walkdirs code now performs
415
a temporary ``chdir()`` while reading a single directory; if your
416
platform has non thread-local current working directories (and is
417
not windows which has its own implementation), this may introduce a
418
race condition during concurrent uses of bzrlib. The bzrlib CLI
419
will not encounter this as it is single threaded for working tree
420
operations. (Robert Collins)
421
422
* The C extensions now build on python 2.4 (Robert Collins, #271939)
423
424
* The ``-Dhpss`` debug flag now reports the number of smart server
425
calls per medium to stderr. This is in addition to the existing
426
detailed logging to the .bzr.log trace file. (Andrew Bennetts)
427
428
BUG FIXES:
429
430
* Avoid random failures arising from misinterpreted ``errno`` values
431
in ``_readdir_pyx.read_dir``.
432
(Martin Pool, #279381)
433
434
* Branching from a shared repository on a smart server into a new
435
repository now preserves the repository format.
436
(Andrew Bennetts, #269214)
437
438
* ``bzr log`` now accepts a ``--change`` option.
439
(Vincent Ladeuil, #248427)
440
441
* ``bzr missing`` now accepts an ``--include-merges`` option.
442
(Vincent Ladeuil, #233817)
443
444
* Don't try to filter (internally) '.bzr' from the files to be deleted if
445
it's not there.
446
(Vincent Ladeuil, #272648)
447
448
* Fix '_in_buffer' AttributeError when using the -Dhpss debug flag.
449
(Andrew Bennetts)
450
451
* Fix TooManyConcurrentRequests errors caused by a connection failure
452
when doing ``bzr pull`` or ``bzr merge`` from a ``bzr+ssh`` URL.
453
(Andrew Bennetts, #246233)
454
455
* Fixed ``bzr st -r branch:PATH_TO_BRANCH`` where the other branch
456
is in a different repository than the current one.
457
(Lukáš Lalinský, #144421)
458
459
* Make the first line of the manpage preamble a comment again.
460
(David Futcher, #242106)
461
462
* Remove use of optional parameter in GSSAPI FTP support, since
463
it breaks newer versions of Python-Kerberos. (Jelmer Vernooij)
464
465
* The autopacking logic will now always create a single new pack from
466
all of the content which it deems is worth moving. This avoids the
467
'repack a single pack' bug and should result in better packing
468
overall. (John Arbash Meinel, #242510, #172644)
469
470
* Trivial documentation fix.
471
(John Arbash Meinel, #270471)
472
473
* ``bzr switch`` and ``bzr bind`` will now update the branch nickname if
474
it was previously set. All checkouts will now refer to the bound branch
475
for a nickname if one was not explicitly set.
476
(Marius Kruger, #230903)
477
478
DOCUMENTATION:
479
480
* Explain revision/range identifiers. (Daniel Clemente)
481
482
API CHANGES:
483
484
* ``CommitBuilder.record_entry_contents`` returns one more element in
485
its result tuple - an optional file system hash for the hash cache
486
to use. (Robert Collins)
487
488
* ``dirstate.DirState.update_entry`` will now only calculate the sha1
489
of a file if it is likely to be needed in determining the output
490
of iter_changes. (Robert Collins)
491
492
* The PackRepository, RepositoryPackCollection, NewPack classes have a
493
slightly changed interface to support different index types; as a
494
result other users of these classes need to supply the index types
495
they want. (Robert Collins)
496
497
TESTING:
498
499
* ``bzrlib.tests.repository_implementations`` has been renamed to
500
``bzrlib.tests.per_repository`` so that we have a common structure
501
(and it is shorter). (John Arbash Meinel, #239343)
502
503
* ``LocalTransport.abspath()`` now returns a drive letter if the
504
transport has one, fixing numerous tests on Windows.
505
(Mark Hammond)
506
507
* PreviewTree is now tested via intertree_implementations.
508
(Aaron Bentley)
509
510
* The full test suite is passing again on OSX.
511
(Guillermo Gonzalez, Vincent Ladeuil)
512
513
* The full test suite passes when run with ``-Eallow_debug``.
514
(Andrew Bennetts)
515
516
INTERNALS:
517
518
* A new hook, ``Branch.open``, has been added, which is called when
519
branch objects are opened. (Robert Collins)
520
521
* ``bzrlib.osutils._walkdirs_utf8`` has been refactored into common
522
tree walking, and modular directory listing code to aid future
523
performance optimisations and refactoring. (Robert Collins)
524
525
* ``bzrlib.trace.debug_memory`` can be used to get a quick memory dump
526
in the middle of processing. It only reports memory if
527
``/proc/PID/status`` is available. (John Arbash Meinel)
528
529
* New method ``RevisionSpec.as_tree`` for representing the revision
530
specifier as a revision tree object. (Lukáš Lalinský)
531
532
* New race-free method on MutableTree ``get_file_with_stat`` for use
533
when generating stat cache results. (Robert Collins)
534
535
* New win32utils.get_local_appdata_location() provides access to a local
536
directory for storing data. (Mark Hammond)
537
538
* To be compatible with python-2.6 a few new rules should be
539
observed. 'message' attribute can't be used anymore in exception
540
classes, 'sha' and 'md5' modules have been deprecated (use
541
osutils.[md5|sha]), object__init__ and object.__new__ don't accept
542
parameters anymore.

bzr 1.7.1 2008-10-01
547
--------------------
548
549
No changes from 1.7.1rc1.
550
551
552
bzr 1.7.1rc1 2008-09-24
553
-----------------------
554
555
This release just includes an update to how the merge algorithm handles
556
file paths when we encounter complex history.
557
558
FEATURES:
559
560
* If we encounter a criss-cross in history, use information from
561
direct Least Common Ancestors to resolve inventory shape (locations
562
of files, adds, deletes, etc). This is similar in concept to using
563
``--lca`` for merging file texts, only applied to paths.
564
(John Arbash Meinel)
565

567
bzr 1.7 2008-09-23
568
------------------
569
570
This release includes many bug fixes and a few performance and feature
571
improvements. ``bzr rm`` will now scan for missing files and remove them,
572
like how ``bzr add`` scans for unknown files and adds them. A bit more
573
polish has been applied to the stacking code. The b-tree indexing code has
574
been brought in, with an eye on using it in a future repository format.
575
There are only minor installer changes since bzr-1.7rc2.
576
577
FEATURES
578
579
* Some small updates to the win32 installer. Include localization
580
files found in plugins, and include the builtin distutils as part of
581
packaging qbzr. (Mark Hammond)
582
583
584
bzr 1.7rc2 2008-09-17
585
---------------------
586
587
A few bug fixes from 1.7rc1. The biggest change is a new
588
``RemoteBranch.get_stacked_on_url`` rpc. This allows clients that are
589
trying to access a Stacked branch over the smart protocol, to properly
590
connect to the stacked-on location.
591
592
BUG FIXES:
593
594
* Branching from a shared repository on a smart server into a new
595
repository now preserves the repository format.
596
(Andrew Bennetts, #269214)
597
598
* Branching from a stacked branch via ``bzr+ssh`` can properly connect
599
to the stacked-on branch. (Martin Pool, #261315)
600
601
* ``bzr init`` no longer re-opens the BzrDir multiple times.
602
(Vincent Ladeuil)
603
604
* Fix '_in_buffer' AttributeError when using the -Dhpss debug flag.

bzr 1.7rc1 2008-09-09
609
---------------------
610
611
This release candidate for bzr 1.7 has several bug fixes and a few
612
performance and feature improvements. ``bzr rm`` will now scan for
613
missing files and remove them, like how ``bzr add`` scans for unknown
614
files and adds them. A bit more polish has been applied to the stacking
615
code. The b-tree indexing code has been brought in, with an eye on using
616
it in a future repository format.
617
618
619
CHANGES:
620
621
* ``bzr export`` can now export a subdirectory of a project.
622
(Robert Collins)
623
624
* ``bzr remove-tree`` will now refuse to remove a tree with uncommitted
625
changes, unless the ``--force`` option is specified.
626
(Lukáš Lalinský, #74101)
627
628
* ``bzr rm`` will now scan for files that are missing and remove just
629
them automatically, much as ``bzr add`` scans for new files that
630
are not ignored and adds them automatically. (Robert Collins)
631
632
FEATURES
633
634
* Support for GSSAPI authentication when using FTP as documented in
635
RFC2228. (Jelmer Vernooij, #49623)
636
637
* Add support for IPv6 in the smart server. (Jelmer Vernooij, #165014)
638
639
IMPROVEMENTS:
640
641
* A url like ``log+file:///tmp`` will log all access to that Transport
642
to ``.bzr.log``, which may help in debugging or profiling.
643
(Martin Pool)
644
645
* ``bzr branch`` and ``bzr push`` use the default stacking policy if the
646
branch format supports it. (Aaron Bentley)
647
648
* ``bzr init`` and ``bzr init-repo`` will now print out the same as
649
``bzr info`` if it completed successfully.
650
(Marius Kruger)
651
652
* ``bzr uncommit`` logs the old tip revision id, and displays how to
653
restore the branch to that tip using ``bzr pull``. This allows you
654
to recover if you realize you uncommitted the wrong thing.
655
(John Arbash Meinel)
656
657
* Fix problems in accessing stacked repositories over ``bzr://``.
658
(Martin Pool, #261315)
659
660
* ``SFTPTransport.readv()`` was accidentally using ``list += string``,
661
which 'works', but adds each character separately to the list,
662
rather than using ``list.append(string)``. Fixing this makes the
663
SFTP transport a little bit faster (~20%) and use a bit less memory.
664
(John Arbash Meinel)
665
666
* When reading index files, if we happen to read the whole file in a
667
single request treat it as a ``_buffer_all`` request. This happens
668
most often on small indexes over remote transports, where we default
669
to reading 64kB. It saves a round trip for each small index during
670
fetch operations. Also, if we have read more than 50% of an index
671
file, trigger a ``_buffer_all`` on the next request. This works
672
around some inefficiencies because reads don't fall neatly on page
673
boundaries, so we would ignore those bytes, but request them again
674
later. This could trigger a total read size of more than the whole
675
file. (John Arbash Meinel)
676
677
BUG FIXES:
678
679
* ``bzr rm`` is now aliased to ``bzr del`` for the convenience of svn
680
users. (Robert Collins, #205416)
681
682
* Catch the infamous "select/poll returned error" which occurs when
683
pycurl try to send a body request to an HTTP/1.0 server which has
684
already refused to handle the request. (Vincent Ladeuil, #225020)
685
686
* Fix ``ObjectNotLocked`` errors when using various commands
687
(including ``bzr cat`` and ``bzr annotate``) in combination with a
688
smart server URL. (Andrew Bennetts, #237067)
689
690
* ``FTPTransport.stat()`` would return ``0000`` as the permission bits
691
for the containing ``.bzr/`` directory (it does not implement
692
permissions). This would cause us to set all subdirectories to
693
``0700`` and files to ``0600`` rather than leaving them unmodified.
694
Now we ignore ``0000`` as the permissions and assume they are
695
invalid. (John Arbash Meinel, #259855)
696
697
* Merging from a previously joined branch will no longer cause
698
a traceback. (Jelmer Vernooij, #203376)
699
700
* Pack operations on windows network shares will work even with large
701
files. (Robert Collins, #255656)
702
703
* Running ``bzr st PATH_TO_TREE`` will no longer suppress merge
704
status. Status is also about 7% faster on mozilla sized trees
705
when the path to the root of the tree has been given. Users of
706
the internal ``show_tree_status`` function should be aware that
707
the show_pending flag is now authoritative for showing pending
708
merges, as it was originally. (Robert Collins, #225204)
709
710
* Set valid default _param_name for Option so that ListOption can embed
711
'-' in names. (Vincent Ladeuil, #263249)
712
713
* Show proper error rather than traceback when an unknown revision
714
id is specified to ``bzr cat-revision``. (Jelmer Vernooij, #175569)
715
716
* Trailing text in the dirstate file could cause the C dirstate parser
717
to try to allocate an invalid amount of memory. We now properly
718
check and test for parsing a dirstate with invalid trailing data.
719
(John Arbash Meinel, #186014)
720
721
* Unexpected error responses from a smart server no longer cause the
722
client to traceback. (Andrew Bennetts, #263527)
723
724
* Use a Windows api function to get a Unicode host name, rather than
725
assuming the host name is ascii.
726
(Mark Hammond, John Arbash Meinel, #256550)
727
728
* ``WorkingTree4`` trees will now correctly report missing-and-new
729
paths in the output of ``iter_changes``. (Robert Collins)
730
731
DOCUMENTATION:
732
733
* Updated developer documentation. (Martin Pool)
734
735
API CHANGES:
736
737
* Exporters now take 4 parameters. (Robert Collins)
738
739
* ``Tree.iter_changes`` will now return False for the content change
740
field when a file is missing in the basis tree and not present in
741
the target tree. Previously it returned True unconditionally.
742
(Robert Collins)
743
744
* The deprecated ``Branch.abspath`` and unimplemented
745
``Branch.rename_one`` and ``Branch.move`` were removed. (Jelmer Vernooij)
746
747
* BzrDir.clone_on_transport implementations must now accept a stacked_on
748
parameter. (Aaron Bentley)
749
750
* BzrDir.cloning_metadir implementations must now take a require_stacking
751
parameter. (Aaron Bentley)
752
753
TESTING:
754
755
* ``addCleanup`` now takes ``*arguments`` and ``**keyword_arguments``
756
which are then passed to the cleanup callable as it is run. In
757
addition, addCleanup no longer requires that the callables passed to
758
it be unique. (Jonathan Lange)
759
760
* Fix some tests that fail on Windows because files are deleted while
761
still in use.
762
(Mark Hammond)
763
764
* ``selftest``'s ``--starting-with`` option can now use predefined
765
prefixes so that one can say ``bzr selftest -s bp.loom`` instead of
766
``bzr selftest -s bzrlib.plugins.loom``. (Vincent Ladeuil)
767
768
* ``selftest``'s ``--starting-with`` option now accepts multiple values.
769
(Vincent Ladeuil)
770
771
INTERNALS:
772
773
* A new plugin interface, ``bzrlib.log.log_adapters``, has been added.
774
This allows dynamic log output filtering by plugins.
775
(Robert Collins)
776
777
* ``bzrlib.btree_index`` is now available, providing a b-tree index
778
layer. The design is memory conservative (limited memory cache),
779
faster to seek (approx 100 nodes per page, gives 100-way fan out),
780
and stores compressed pages allowing more keys per page.
781
(Robert Collins, John Arbash Meinel)
782
783
* ``bzrlib.diff.DiffTree.show_diff`` now skips changes where the kind
784
is unknown in both source and target.
785
(Robert Collins, Aaron Bentley)
786
787
* ``GraphIndexBuilder.add_node`` and ``BTreeBuilder`` have been
788
streamlined a bit. This should make creating large indexes faster.
789
(In benchmarking, it now takes less time to create a BTree index than
790
it takes to read the GraphIndex one.) (John Arbash Meinel)
791
792
* Mail clients for `bzr send` are now listed in a registry. This
793
allows plugins to add new clients by registering them with
794
``bzrlib.mail_client.mail_client_registry``. All of the built-in
795
clients now use this mechanism. (Neil Martinsen-Burrell)

798
bzr 1.6.1 2008-09-05
799
--------------------
800
801
A couple regressions were found in the 1.6 release. There was a
802
performance issue when using ``bzr+ssh`` to branch large repositories,
803
and some problems with stacking and ``rich-root`` capable repositories.
804
805
806
bzr 1.6.1rc2 2008-09-03
807
-----------------------
808
809
BUG FIXES:
810
811
* Copying between ``rich-root`` and ``rich-root-pack`` (and vice
812
versa) was accidentally using the inter-model fetcher, instead of
813
recognizing that both were 'rich root' formats.
814
(John Arbash Meinel, #264321)
815
816
817
bzr 1.6.1rc1 2008-08-29
818
-----------------------
819
820
This release fixes a few regressions found in the 1.6 client. Fetching
821
changes was using an O(N^2) buffering algorithm, so for large projects it
822
would cause memory thrashing. There is also a specific problem with the
823
``--1.6-rich-root`` format, which prevented stacking on top of
824
``--rich-root-pack`` repositories, and could allow users to accidentally
825
fetch experimental data (``-subtree``) without representing it properly.
826
The ``--1.6-rich-root`` format has been deprecated and users are
827
recommended to upgrade to ``--1.6.1-rich-root`` immediately. Also we
828
re-introduced a workaround for users who have repositories with incorrect
829
nodes (not possible if you only used official releases).
830
I should also clarify that none of this is data loss level issues, but
831
still sufficient enough to warrant an updated release.
832
833
BUG FIXES:
834
835
* ``RemoteTransport.readv()`` was being inefficient about how it
836
buffered the readv data and processed it. It would keep appending to
837
the same string (causing many copies) and then pop bytes out of the
838
start of the string (causing more copies).
839
With this patch "bzr+ssh://local" can improve dramatically,
840
especially for projects with large files.
841
(John Arbash Meinel)
842
843
* Revision texts were always meant to be stored as fulltexts. There
844
was a bug in a bzr.dev version that would accidentally create deltas
845
when copying from a Pack repo to a Knit repo. This has been fixed,
846
but to support those repositories, we know always request full texts
847
for Revision texts. (John Arbash Meinel, #261339)
848
849
* The previous ``--1.6-rich-root`` format used an incorrect xml
850
serializer, which would accidentally support fetching from a
851
repository that supported subtrees, even though the local one would
852
not. We deprecated that format, and introduced a new one that uses
853
the correct serializer ``--1.6.1-rich-root``.
854
(John Arbash Meinel, #262333)

bzr 1.6 2008-08-25
858
------------------
859
860
Finally, the long awaited bzr 1.6 has been released. This release includes
861
new features like Stacked Branches, improved weave merge, and an updated
862
server protocol (now on v3) which will allow for better cross version
863
compatibility. With this release we have deprecated Knit format
864
repositories, and recommend that users upgrade them, we will continue to
865
support reading and writing them for the forseeable future, but we will
866
not be tuning them for performance as pack repositories have proven to be
867
better at scaling. This will also be the first release to bundle
868
TortoiseBzr in the standalone Windows installer.
869
870
871
bzr 1.6rc5 2008-08-19
872
---------------------
873
874
BUG FIXES:
875
876
* Disable automatic detection of stacking based on a containing
877
directory of the target. It interacted badly with push, and needs a
878
bit more work to get the edges polished before it should happen
879
automatically. (John Arbash Meinel, #259275)
880
(This change was reverted when merged to bzr.dev)
881
882
883
bzr 1.6rc4 2008-08-18
884
---------------------
885
886
BUG FIXES:
887
888
* Fix a regression in knit => pack fetching. We had a logic
889
inversion, causing the fetch to insert fulltexts in random order,
890
rather than preserving deltas. (John Arbash Meinel, #256757)
891
892
893
bzr 1.6rc3 2008-08-14
894
---------------------
895
896
CHANGES:
897
898
* Disable reading ``.bzrrules`` as a per-branch rule preferences
899
file. The feature was not quite ready for a full release.
900
(Robert Collins)
901
902
IMPROVEMENTS:
903
904
* Update the windows installer to bundle TortoiseBzr and ``qbzr``
905
into the standalone installer. This will be the first official
906
windows release that installs Tortoise by default.
907
(Mark Hammond)
908
909
BUG FIXES:
910
911
* Fix a regression in ``bzr+http`` support. There was a missing
912
function (``_read_line``) that needed to be carried over from
913
``bzr+ssh`` support. (Andrew Bennetts)
914
915
* ``GraphIndex`` objects will internally read an entire index if more
916
than 1/20th of their keyspace is requested in a single operation.
917
This largely mitigates a performance regression in ``bzr log FILE``
918
and completely corrects the performance regression in ``bzr log``.
919
The regression was caused by removing an accomodation which had been
920
supporting the index format in use. A newer index format is in
921
development which is substantially faster. (Robert Collins)
922
923
924
bzr 1.6rc2 2008-08-13
925
---------------------
926
927
This release candidate has a few minor bug fixes, and some regression
928
fixes for Windows.
929
930
BUG FIXES:
931
932
* ``bzr upgrade`` on remote branches accessed via bzr:// and
933
bzr+ssh:// now works. (Andrew Bennetts)
934
935
* Change the ``get_format_description()`` strings for
936
``RepositoryFormatKnitPack5`` et al to be single line messages.
937
(Aaron Bentley)
938
939
* Fix for a regression on Win32 where we would try to call
940
``os.listdir()`` on a file and not catch the exception properly.
941
(Windows raises a different exception.) This would manifest in
942
places like ``bzr rm file`` or ``bzr switch``.
943
(Mark Hammond, John Arbash Meinel)
944
945
* ``Inventory.copy()`` was failing to set the revision property for
946
the root entry. (Jelmer Vernooij)
947
948
* sftp transport: added missing ``FileExists`` case to
949
``_translate_io_exception`` (Christophe Troestler, #123475)
950
951
* The help for ``bzr ignored`` now suggests ``bzr ls --ignored`` for
952
scripting use. (Robert Collins, #3834)
953
954
* The default ``annotate`` logic will now always assign the
955
last-modified value of a line to one of the revisions that modified
956
it, rather than a merge revision. This would happen when both sides
957
claimed to have modified the line resulting in the same text. The
958
choice is arbitrary but stable, so merges in different directions
959
will get the same results. (John Arbash Meinel, #232188)

bzr 1.6rc1 2008-08-06
963
---------------------
964
965
This release candidate for bzr 1.6 solidifies the new branch stacking
966
feature. Bazaar now recommends that users upgrade all knit repositories,
967
because later formats are much faster. However, we plan to continue read/write and
968
upgrade support for knit repostories for the forseeable future. Several
969
other bugs and performance issues were fixed.
970
971
CHANGES:
972
973
* Knit format repositories are deprecated and bzr will now emit
974
warnings whenever it encounters one. Use ``bzr upgrade`` to upgrade
975
knit repositories to pack format. (Andrew Bennetts)
976
977
IMPROVEMENTS:
978
979
* ``bzr check`` can now be told which elements at a location it should
980
check. (Daniel Watkins)
981
982
* Commit now supports ``--exclude`` (or ``-x``) to exclude some files
983
from the commit. (Robert Collins, #3117)
984
985
* Fetching data between repositories that have the same model but no
986
optimised fetcher will not reserialise all the revisions, increasing
987
performance. (Robert Collins, John Arbash Meinel)
988
989
* Give a more specific error when target branch is not reachable.
990
(James Westby)
991
992
* Implemented a custom ``walkdirs_utf8`` implementation for win32.
993
This uses a pyrex extension to get direct access to the
994
``FindFirstFileW`` style apis, rather than using ``listdir`` +
995
``lstat``. Shows a very strong improvement in commands like
996
``status`` and ``diff`` which have to iterate the working tree.
997
Anywhere from 2x-6x faster depending on the size of the tree (bigger
998
trees, bigger benefit.) (John Arbash Meinel)
999
1000
* New registry for log properties handles and the method in
1001
LongLogFormatter to display the custom properties returned by the
1002
registered handlers. (Guillermo Gonzalez, #162469)
1003
1004
BUG FIXES:
1005
1006
* Add more tests that stacking does not create deltas spanning
1007
physical repository boundaries.
1008
(Martin Pool, #252428)
1009
1010
* Better message about incompatible repositories.
1011
(Martin Pool, #206258)
1012
1013
* ``bzr branch --stacked`` ensures the destination branch format can
1014
support stacking, even if the origin does not.
1015
(Martin Pool)
1016
1017
* ``bzr export`` no longer exports ``.bzrrules``.
1018
(Ian Clatworthy)
1019
1020
* ``bzr serve --directory=/`` now correctly allows the whole
1021
filesystem to be accessed on Windows, not just the root of the drive
1022
that Python is running from.
1023
(Adrian Wilkins, #240910)
1024
1025
* Deleting directories by hand before running ``bzr rm`` will not
1026
cause subsequent errors in ``bzr st`` and ``bzr commit``.
1027
(Robert Collins, #150438)
1028
1029
* Fix a test case that was failing if encoding wasn't UTF-8.
1030
(John Arbash Meinel, #247585)
1031
1032
* Fix "no buffer space available" error when branching with the new
1033
smart server protocol to or from Windows.
1034
(Andrew Bennetts, #246180)
1035
1036
* Fixed problem in branching from smart server.
1037
(#249256, Michael Hudson, Martin Pool)
1038
1039
* Handle a file turning in to a directory in TreeTransform.
1040
(James Westby, #248448)
1041
1042
API CHANGES:
1043
1044
* ``MutableTree.commit`` has an extra optional keywork parameter
1045
``exclude`` that will be unconditionally supplied by the command
1046
line UI - plugins that add tree formats may need an update.
1047
(Robert Collins)
1048
1049
* The API minimum version for plugin compatibility has been raised to
1050
1.6 - there are significant changes throughout the code base.
1051
(Robert Collins)
1052
1053
* The generic fetch code now uses three attributes on Repository objects
1054
to control fetch. The streams requested are controlled via :
1055
``_fetch_order`` and ``_fetch_uses_deltas``. Setting these
1056
appropriately allows different repository implementations to recieve
1057
data in their optimial form. If the ``_fetch_reconcile`` is set then
1058
a reconcile operation is triggered at the end of the fetch.
1059
(Robert Collins)
1060
1061
* The ``put_on_disk`` and ``get_tar_item`` methods in
1062
``InventoryEntry`` were deprecated. (Ian Clatworthy)
1063
1064
* ``Repository.is_shared`` doesn't take a read lock. It didn't
1065
need one in the first place (nobody cached the value, and
1066
``RemoteRepository`` wasn't taking one either). This saves a round
1067
trip when probing Pack repositories, as they read the ``pack-names``
1068
file when locked. And during probe, locking the repo isn't very
1069
useful. (John Arbash Meinel)
1070
1071
INTERNALS:
1072
1073
* ``bzrlib.branchbuilder.BranchBuilder`` is now much more capable of
1074
putting together a real history without having to create a full
1075
WorkingTree. It is recommended that tests that are not directly
1076
testing the WorkingTree use BranchBuilder instead. See
1077
``BranchBuilder.build_snapshot`` or
1078
``TestCaseWithMemoryTree.make_branch_builder``. (John Arbash Meinel)
1079
1080
* ``bzrlib.builtins.internal_tree_files`` broken into two giving a new
1081
helper ``safe_relpath_files`` - used by the new ``exclude``
1082
parameter to commit. (Robert Collins)
1083
1084
* Make it easier to introduce new WorkingTree formats.
1085
(Ian Clatworthy)
1086
1087
* The code for exporting trees was refactored not to use the
1088
deprecated ``InventoryEntry`` methods. (Ian Clatworthy)
1089
1090
* RuleSearchers return () instead of [] now when there are no matches.
1091
(Ian Clatworthy)
1092
1093
1094
bzr 1.6beta3 2008-07-17
1095
-----------------------
1096
1097
This release adds a new 'stacked branches' feature allowing branches to
1098
share storage without being in the same repository or on the same machine.
1099
(See the user guide for more details.) It also adds a new hook, improved
1100
weaves, aliases for related locations, faster bzr+ssh push, and several
1101
bug fixes.
1102
1103
FEATURES:
1104
1105
* New ``pre_change_branch_tip`` hook that is called before the
1106
branch tip is moved, while the branch is write-locked. See the User
1107
Reference for signature details. (Andrew Bennetts)
1108
1109
* Rule-based preferences can now be defined for selected files in
1110
selected branches, allowing commands and plugins to provide
1111
custom behaviour for files matching defined patterns.
1112
See ``Rule-based preferences`` (part of ``Configuring Bazaar``)
1113
in the User Guide and ``bzr help rules`` for more information.
1114
(Ian Clatworthy)
1115
1116
* Sites may suggest a branch to stack new branches on. (Aaron Bentley)
1117
1118
* Stacked branches are now supported. See ``bzr help branch`` and
1119
``bzr help push``. Branches must be in the ``development1`` format
1120
to stack, though the stacked-on branch can be of any format.
1121
(Robert Collins)
1122
1123
IMPROVEMENTS:
1124
1125
* ``bzr export --format=tgz --root=NAME -`` to export a gzipped tarball
1126
to stdout; also ``tar`` and ``tbz2``.
1127
(Martin Pool)
1128
1129
* ``bzr (re)merge --weave`` will now use a standard Weave algorithm,
1130
rather than the annotation-based merge it was using. It does so by
1131
building up a Weave of the important texts, without needing to build
1132
the full ancestry. (John Arbash Meinel, #238895)
1133
1134
* ``bzr send`` documents and better supports ``emacsclient`` (proper
1135
escaping of mail headers and handling of the MUA Mew).
1136
(Christophe Troestler)
1137
1138
* Remembered locations can be specified by aliases, e.g. :parent, :public,
1139
:submit. (Aaron Bentley)
1140
1141
* The smart protocol now has improved support for setting branches'
1142
revision info directly. This makes operations like push
1143
faster. The new request method name is
1144
``Branch.set_last_revision_ex``. (Andrew Bennetts)
1145
1146
BUG FIXES:
1147
1148
* Bazaar is now able to be a client to the web server of IIS 6 and 7.
1149
The broken implementations of RFC822 in Python and RFC2046 in IIS
1150
combined with boundary-line checking in Bazaar previously made this
1151
impossible. (NB, IIS 5 does not suffer from this problem).
1152
(Adrian Wilkins, #247585)
1153
1154
* ``bzr log --long`` with a ghost in your mainline now handles that
1155
ghost properly. (John Arbash Meinel, #243536)
1156
1157
* ``check`` handles the split-up .bzr layout correctly, so no longer
1158
requires a branch to be present.
1159
(Daniel Watkins, #64783)
1160
1161
* Clearer message about how to set the PYTHONPATH if bzrlib can't be
1162
loaded.
1163
(Martin Pool, #205230)
1164
1165
* Errors about missing libraries are now shown without a traceback,
1166
and with a suggestion to install the library. The full traceback is
1167
still in ``.bzr.log`` and can be shown with ``-Derror``.
1168
(Martin Pool, #240161)
1169
1170
* Fetch from a stacked branch copies all required data.
1171
(Aaron Bentley, #248506)
1172
1173
* Handle urls such as ftp://user@host.com@www.host.com where the user
1174
name contains an @.
1175
(Neil Martinsen-Burrell, #228058)
1176
1177
* ``needs_read_lock`` and ``needs_write_lock`` now suppress an error during
1178
``unlock`` if there was an error in the original function. This helps
1179
most when there is a failure with a smart server action, since often the
1180
connection closes and we cannot unlock.
1181
(Andrew Bennetts, John Arbash Meinel, #125784)
1182
1183
* Obsolete hidden command ``bzr fetch`` removed.
1184
(Martin Pool, #172870)
1185
1186
* Raise the correct exception when doing ``-rbefore:0`` or ``-c0``.
1187
(John Arbash Meinel, #239933)
1188
1189
* You can now compare file revisions in Windows diff programs from
1190
Cygwin Bazaar.
1191
(Matt McClure, #209281)
1192
1193
* revision_history now tolerates mainline ghosts for Branch format 6.
1194
(Aaron Bentley, #235055)
1195
1196
* Set locale from environment for third party libs.
1197
(Martin von Gagern, #128496)
1198
1199
DOCUMENTATION:
1200
1201
* Added *Using stacked branches* to the User Guide.
1202
(Ian Clatworthy)
1203
1204
* Updated developer documentation.
1205
(Martin Pool)
1206
1207
TESTING:
1208
1209
* ``-Dmemory`` will cause /proc/PID/status to be catted before bzr
1210
exits, allowing low-key analysis of peak memory use. (Robert Collins)
1211
1212
* ``TestCaseWithTransport.make_branch_and_tree`` tries harder to return
1213
a tree with a ``branch`` attribute of the right format. This was
1214
preventing some ``RemoteBranch`` tests from actually running with
1215
``RemoteBranch`` instances. (Andrew Bennetts)
1216
1217
API CHANGES:
1218
1219
* Removed ``Repository.text_store``, ``control_store``, etc. Instead,
1220
there are new attributes ``texts, inventories, revisions,
1221
signatures``, each of which is a ``VersionedFiles``. See the
1222
Repository docstring for more details.
1223
(Robert Collins)
1224
1225
* ``Branch.pull`` now accepts an ``_override_hook_target`` optional
1226
parameter. If you have a subclass of ``Branch`` that overrides
1227
``pull`` then you should add this parameter. (Andrew Bennetts)
1228
1229
* ``bzrlib.check.check()`` has been deprecated in favour of the more
1230
aptly-named ``bzrlib.check.check_branch()``.
1231
(Daniel Watkins)
1232
1233
* ``Tree.print_file`` and ``Repository.print_file`` are deprecated.
1234
These methods are bad APIs because they write directly to sys.stdout.
1235
bzrlib does not use them internally, and there are no direct tests
1236
for them. (Alexander Belchenko)
1237
1238
INTERNALS:
1239
1240
* ``cat`` command no longer uses ``Tree.print_file()`` internally.
1241
(Alexander Belchenko)
1242
1243
* New class method ``BzrDir.open_containing_tree_branch_or_repository``
1244
which eases the discovery of the tree, the branch and the repository
1245
containing a given location.
1246
(Daniel Watkins)
1247
1248
* New ``versionedfile.KeyMapper`` interface to abstract out the access to
1249
underlying .knit/.kndx etc files in repositories with partitioned
1250
storage. (Robert Collins)
1251
1252
* Obsolete developer-use command ``weave-join`` has been removed.
1253
(Robert Collins)
1254
1255
* ``RemoteToOtherFetcher`` and ``get_data_stream_for_search`` removed,
1256
to support new ``VersionedFiles`` layering.
1257
(Robert Collins)
1258
1259
1260
bzr 1.6beta2 2008-06-10
1261
-----------------------
1262
1263
This release contains further progress towards our 1.6 goals of shallow
1264
repositories, and contains a fix for some user-affecting bugs in the
1265
repository layer. Building working trees during checkout and branch is
1266
now faster.
1267
1268
BUG FIXES:
1269
1270
* Avoid KnitCorrupt error extracting inventories from some repositories.
1271
(The data is not corrupt; an internal check is detecting a problem
1272
reading from the repository.)
1273
(Martin Pool, Andrew Bennetts, Robert Collins, #234748)
1274
1275
* ``bzr status`` was breaking if you merged the same revision twice.
1276
(John Arbash Meinel, #235407)
1277
1278
* Fix infinite loop consuming 100% CPU when a connection is lost while
1279
reading a response body via the smart protocol v1 or v2.
1280
(Andrew Bennetts)
1281
1282
* Inserting a bundle which changes the contents of a file with no trailing
1283
end of line, causing a knit snapshot in a 'knits' repository will no longer
1284
cause KnitCorrupt. (Robert Collins)
1285
1286
* ``RemoteBranch.pull`` needs to return the ``self._real_branch``'s
1287
pull result. It was instead just returning None, which breaks ``bzr
1288
pull``. (John Arbash Meinel, #238149)
1289
1290
* Sanitize branch nick before using it as an attachment filename in
1291
``bzr send``. (Lukáš Lalinský, #210218)
1292
1293
* Squash ``inv_entry.symlink_target`` to a plain string when
1294
generating DirState details. This prevents from getting a
1295
``UnicodeError`` when you have symlinks and non-ascii filenames.
1296
(John Arbash Meinel, #135320)
1297
1298
IMPROVEMENTS:
1299
1300
* Added the 'alias' command to set/unset and display aliases. (Tim Penhey)
1301
1302
* ``added``, ``modified``, and ``unknowns`` behaviour made consistent (all three
1303
now quote paths where required). Added ``--null`` option to ``added`` and
1304
``modified`` (for null-separated unknowns, use ``ls --unknown --null``)
1305
(Adrian Wilkins)
1306
1307
* Faster branching (1.09x) and lightweight checkouts (1.06x) on large trees.
1308
(Ian Clatworthy, Aaron Bentley)
1309
1310
DOCUMENTATION:
1311
1312
* Added *Bazaar Zen* section to the User Guide. (Ian Clatworthy)
1313
1314
TESTING:
1315
1316
* Fix the test HTTPServer to be isolated from chdir calls made while it is
1317
running, allowing it to be used in blackbox tests. (Robert Collins)
1318
1319
API CHANGES:
1320
1321
* ``WorkingTree.set_parent_(ids/trees)`` will now filter out revisions
1322
which are in the ancestry of other revisions. So if you merge the same
1323
tree twice, or merge an ancestor of an existing merge, it will only
1324
record the newest. (If you merge a descendent, it will replace its
1325
ancestor). (John Arbash Meinel, #235407)
1326
1327
* ``RepositoryPolicy.__init__`` now requires stack_on and stack_on_pwd,
1328
through the derived classes do not. (Aaron Bentley)
1329
1330
INTERNALS:
1331
1332
* ``bzrlib.bzrdir.BzrDir.sprout`` now accepts ``stacked`` to control
1333
creating stacked branches. (Robert Collins)
1334
1335
* Knit record serialisation is now stricter on what it will accept, to
1336
guard against potential internal bugs, or broken input. (Robert Collins)
1337
1338
1339
bzr 1.6beta1 2008-06-02
1340
-----------------------
1341
1342
1343
Commands that work on the revision history such as push, pull, missing,
1344
uncommit and log are now substantially faster. This release adds a
1345
translation of some of the user documentation into Spanish. (Contributions of
1346
other translations would be very welcome.) Bazaar 1.6beta1 adds a new network
1347
protocol which is used by default and which allows for more efficient transfers
1348
and future extensions.
1349
1350
1351
NOTES WHEN UPGRADING:
1352
1353
* There is a new version of the network protocol used for bzr://, bzr+ssh://
1354
and bzr+http:// connections. This will allow more efficient requests and
1355
responses, and more graceful fallback when a server is too old to
1356
recognise a request from a more recent client. Bazaar 1.6 will
1357
interoperate with 0.16 and later versions, but servers should be upgraded
1358
when possible. Bazaar 1.6 no longer interoperates with 0.15 and earlier via
1359
these protocols. Use alternatives like SFTP or upgrade those servers.
1360
(Andrew Bennetts, #83935)
1361
1362
CHANGES:
1363
1364
* Deprecation warnings will not be suppressed when running ``bzr selftest``
1365
so that developers can see if their code is using deprecated functions.
1366
(John Arbash Meinel)
1367
1368
FEATURES:
1369
1370
* Adding ``-Derror`` will now display a traceback when a plugin fails to
1371
load. (James Westby)
1372
1373
IMPROVEMENTS:
1374
1375
* ``bzr branch/push/pull -r XXX`` now have a helper function for finding
1376
the revno of the new revision (``Graph.find_distance_to_null``). This
1377
should make something like ``bzr branch -r -100`` in a shared, no-trees
1378
repository much snappier. (John Arbash Meinel)
1379
1380
* ``bzr log --short -r X..Y`` no longer needs to access the full revision
1381
history. This makes it noticeably faster when logging the last few
1382
revisions. (John Arbash Meinel)
1383
1384
* ``bzr ls`` now accepts ``-V`` as an alias for ``--versioned``.
1385
(Jerad Cramp, #165086)
1386
1387
* ``bzr missing`` uses the new ``Graph.find_unique_ancestors`` and
1388
``Graph.find_differences`` to determine missing revisions without having
1389
to search the whole ancestry. (John Arbash Meinel, #174625)
1390
1391
* ``bzr uncommit`` now uses partial history access, rather than always
1392
extracting the full revision history for a branch. This makes it
1393
resolve the appropriate revisions much faster (in testing it drops
1394
uncommit from 1.5s => 0.4s). It also means ``bzr log --short`` is one
1395
step closer to not using full revision history.
1396
(John Arbash Meinel, #172649)
1397
1398
BUGFIXES:
1399
1400
* ``bzr merge --lca`` should handle when two revisions have no common
1401
ancestor other than NULL_REVISION. (John Arbash Meinel, #235715)
1402
1403
* ``bzr status`` was breaking if you merged the same revision twice.
1404
(John Arbash Meinel, #235407)
1405
1406
* ``bzr push`` with both ``--overwrite`` and ``-r NNN`` options no longer
1407
fails. (Andrew Bennetts, #234229)
1408
1409
* Correctly track the base URL of a smart medium when using bzr+http://
1410
URLs, which was causing spurious "No repository present" errors with
1411
branches in shared repositories accessed over bzr+http.
1412
(Andrew Bennetts, #230550)
1413
1414
* Define ``_remote_is_at_least_1_2`` on ``SmartClientMedium`` so that all
1415
implementations have the attribute. Fixes 'PyCurlTransport' object has no
1416
attribute '_remote_is_at_least_1_2' attribute errors.
1417
(Andrew Bennetts, #220806)
1418
1419
* Failure to delete an obsolete pack file should just give a warning
1420
message, not a fatal error. It may for example fail if the file is still
1421
in use by another process.
1422
(Martin Pool)
1423
1424
* Fix MemoryError during large fetches over HTTP by limiting the amount of
1425
data we try to read per ``recv`` call. The problem was observed with
1426
Windows and a proxy, but might affect other environments as well.
1427
(Eric Holmberg, #215426)
1428
1429
* Handle old merge directives correctly in Merger.from_mergeable. Stricter
1430
get_parent_map requirements exposed a latent bug here. (Aaron Bentley)
1431
1432
* Issue a warning and ignore passwords declared in authentication.conf when
1433
used for an ssh scheme (sftp or bzr+ssh).
1434
(Vincent Ladeuil, #203186)
1435
1436
* Make both http implementations raise appropriate exceptions on 403
1437
Forbidden when POSTing smart requests.
1438
(Vincent Ladeuil, #230223)
1439
1440
* Properly *title* header names in http requests instead of capitalizing
1441
them.
1442
(Vincent Ladeuil, #229076)
1443
1444
* The "Unable to obtain lock" error message now also suggests using
1445
``bzr break-lock`` to fix it. (Martin Albisetti, #139202)
1446
1447
* Treat an encoding of '' as ascii; this can happen when bzr is run
1448
under vim on Mac OS X.
1449
(Neil Martinsen-Burrell)
1450
1451
* ``VersionedFile.make_mpdiffs()`` was raising an exception that wasn't in
1452
scope. (Daniel Fischer #235687)
1453
1454
DOCUMENTATION:
1455
1456
* Added directory structure and started translation of docs in spanish.
1457
(Martin Albisetti, Lucio Albenga)
1458
1459
* Incorporate feedback from Jelmer Vernooij and Neil Martinsen-Burrell
1460
on the plugin and integration chapters of the User Guide.
1461
(Ian Clatworthy)
1462
1463
* More Bazaar developer documentation about packaging and release process,
1464
and about use of Python reprs.
1465
(Martin Pool, Martin Albisetti)
1466
1467
* Updated Tortise strategy document. (Mark Hammond)
1468
1469
TESTING:
1470
1471
* ``bzrlib.tests.adapt_tests`` was broken and unused - it has been fixed.
1472
(Robert Collins)
1473
1474
* Fix the test HTTPServer to be isolated from chdir calls made while it is
1475
running, allowing it to be used in blackbox tests. (Robert Collins)
1476
1477
* New helper function for splitting test suites
1478
``split_suite_by_condition``. (Robert Collins)
1479
1480
INTERNALS:
1481
1482
* ``Branch.missing_revisions`` has been deprecated. Similar functionality
1483
can be obtained using ``bzrlib.missing.find_unmerged``. The api was
1484
fairly broken, and the function was unused, so we are getting rid of it.
1485
(John Arbash Meinel)
1486
1487
API CHANGES:
1488
1489
* ``Branch.abspath`` is deprecated; use the Tree or Transport
1490
instead. (Martin Pool)
1491
1492
* ``Branch.update_revisions`` now takes an optional ``Graph``
1493
object. This can be used by ``update_revisions`` when it is
1494
checking ancestry, and allows callers to prefer request to go to a
1495
local branch. (John Arbash Meinel)
1496
1497
* Branch, Repository, Tree and BzrDir should expose a Transport as an
1498
attribute if they have one, rather than having it indirectly accessible
1499
as ``.control_files._transport``. This doesn't add a requirement
1500
to support a Transport in cases where it was not needed before;
1501
it just simplifies the way it is reached. (Martin Pool)
1502
1503
* ``bzr missing --mine-only`` will return status code 0 if you have no
1504
new revisions, but the remote does. Similarly for ``--theirs-only``.
1505
The new code only checks one side, so it doesn't know if the other
1506
side has changes. This seems more accurate with the request anyway.
1507
It also changes the output to print '[This|Other] branch is up to
1508
date.' rather than displaying nothing. (John Arbash Meinel)
1509
1510
* ``LockableFiles.put_utf8``, ``put_bytes`` and ``controlfilename``
1511
are now deprecated in favor of using Transport operations.
1512
(Martin Pool)
1513
1514
* Many methods on ``VersionedFile``, ``Repository`` and in
1515
``bzrlib.revision`` deprecated before bzrlib 1.5 have been removed.
1516
(Robert Collins)
1517
1518
* ``RevisionSpec.wants_revision_history`` can be set to False for a given
1519
``RevisionSpec``. This will disable the existing behavior of passing in
1520
the full revision history to ``self._match_on``. Useful for specs that
1521
don't actually need access to the full history. (John Arbash Meinel)
1522
1523
* The constructors of ``SmartClientMedium`` and its subclasses now require a
1524
``base`` parameter. ``SmartClientMedium`` implementations now also need
1525
to provide a ``remote_path_from_transport`` method. (Andrew Bennetts)
1526
1527
* The default permissions for creating new files and directories
1528
should now be obtained from ``BzrDir._get_file_mode()`` and
1529
``_get_dir_mode()``, rather than from LockableFiles. The ``_set_file_mode``
1530
and ``_set_dir_mode`` variables on LockableFiles which were advertised
1531
as a way for plugins to control this are no longer consulted.
1532
(Martin Pool)
1533
1534
* ``VersionedFile.join`` is deprecated. This method required local
1535
instances of both versioned file objects and was thus hostile to being
1536
used for streaming from a smart server. The new get_record_stream and
1537
insert_record_stream are meant to efficiently replace this method.
1538
(Robert Collins)
1539
1540
* ``WorkingTree.set_parent_(ids/trees)`` will now filter out revisions
1541
which are in the ancestry of other revisions. So if you merge the same
1542
tree twice, or merge an ancestor of an existing merge, it will only
1543
record the newest. (If you merge a descendent, it will replace its
1544
ancestor). (John Arbash Meinel, #235407)
1545
1546
* ``WorkingTreeFormat2.stub_initialize_remote`` is now private.

1551
------------------
1552
1553
This release of Bazaar includes several updates to the documentation, and fixes
1554
to prepare for making rich root support the default format. Many bugs have been
1555
squashed, including fixes to log, bzr+ssh inter-operation with older servers.
1556
1557
CHANGES:
1558
1559
* Suppress deprecation warnings when bzrlib is a 'final' release. This way
1560
users of packaged software won't be bothered with DeprecationWarnings,
1561
but developers and testers will still see them. (John Arbash Meinel)
1562
1563
DOCUMENTATION:
1564
1565
* Incorporate feedback from Jelmer Vernooij and Neil Martinsen-Burrell

1573
NOTES WHEN UPGRADING:
1574
1575
CHANGES:
1576
1577
* Broader support of GNU Emacs mail clients. Set
1578
``mail_client=emacsclient`` in your bazaar.conf and ``send`` will pop the
1579
bundle in a mail buffer according to the value of ``mail-user-agent``
1580
variable. (Xavier Maillard)
1581
1582
FEATURES:
1583
1584
IMPROVEMENTS:
1585
1586
* Diff now handles revision specs like "branch:" and "submit:" more
1587
efficiently. (Aaron Bentley, #202928)
1588
1589
* More friendly error given when attempt to start the smart server
1590
on an address already in use. (Andrea Corbellini, #200575)
1591
1592
* Pull completes much faster when there is nothing to pull.
1593
(Aaron Bentley)
1594
1595
BUGFIXES:
1596
1597
* Authentication.conf can define sections without password.
1598
(Vincent Ladeuil, #199440)
1599
1600
* Avoid muttering every time a child update does not cause a progress bar
1601
update. (John Arbash Meinel, #213771)
1602
1603
* ``Branch.reconcile()`` is now implemented. This allows ``bzr reconcile``
1604
to fix when a Branch has a non-canonical mainline history. ``bzr check``
1605
also detects this condition. (John Arbash Meinel, #177855)
1606
1607
* ``bzr log -r ..X bzr://`` was failing, because it was getting a request
1608
for ``revision_id=None`` which was not a string.
1609
(John Arbash Meinel, #211661)
1610
1611
* ``bzr commit`` now works with Microsoft's FTP service.
1612
(Andreas Deininger)
1613
1614
* Catch definitions outside sections in authentication.conf.
1615
(Vincent Ladeuil, #217650)
1616
1617
* Conversion from non-rich-root to rich-root(-pack) updates inventory
1618
sha1s, even when bundles are used. (Aaron Bentley, #181391)
1619
1620
* Conversion from non-rich-root to rich-root(-pack) works correctly even
1621
though search keys are not topologically sorted. (Aaron Bentley)
1622
1623
* Conversion from non-rich-root to rich-root(-pack) works even when a
1624
parent revision has a different root id. (Aaron Bentley, #177874)
1625
1626
* Disable strace testing until strace is fixed (see bug #103133) and emit a
1627
warning when selftest ends to remind us of leaking tests.
1628
(Vincent Ladeuil, #226769)
1629
1630
* Fetching all revisions from a repository does not cause pack collisions.
1631
(Robert Collins, Aaron Bentley, #212908)
1632
1633
* Fix error about "attempt to add line-delta in non-delta knit".
1634
(Andrew Bennetts, #217701)
1635
1636
* Pushing a branch in "dirstate" format (Branch5) over bzr+ssh would break
1637
if the remote server was < version 1.2. This was due to a bug in the
1638
RemoteRepository.get_parent_map() fallback code.
1639
(John Arbash Meinel, #214894)
1640
1641
* Remove leftover code in ``bzr_branch`` that inappropriately creates
1642
a ``branch-name`` file in the branch control directory.
1643
(Martin Pool)
1644
1645
* Set SO_REUSEADDR on server sockets of ``bzr serve`` to avoid problems
1646
rebinding the socket when starting the server a second time.
1647
(John Arbash Meinel, Martin Pool, #164288)
1648
1649
* Severe performance degradation in fetching from knit repositories to
1650
knits and packs due to parsing the entire revisions.kndx on every graph
1651
walk iteration fixed by using the Repository.get_graph API. There was
1652
another regression in knit => knit fetching which re-read the index for
1653
every revision each side had in common.
1654
(Robert Collins, John Arbash Meinel)
1655
1656
* When logging the changes to a particular file, there was a bug if there
1657
were ghosts in the revision ancestry. (John Arbash Meinel, #209948)
1658
1659
* xs4all's ftp server returns a temporary error when trying to list an
1660
empty directory, rather than returning an empty list. Adding a
1661
workaround so that we don't get spurious failures.
1662
(John Arbash Meinel, #215522)
1663
1664
DOCUMENTATION:
1665
1666
* Expanded the User Guide to include new chapters on popular plugins and
1667
integrating Bazaar into your environment. The *Best practices* chapter
1668
was renamed to *Miscellaneous topics* as suggested by community
1669
feedback as well. (Ian Clatworthy)
1670
1671
* Document outlining strategies for TortoiseBzr. (Mark Hammond)
1672
1673
* Improved the documentation on hooks. (Ian Clatworthy)
1674
1675
* Update authentication docs regarding ssh agents.
1676
(Vincent Ladeuil, #183705)
1677
1678
TESTING:
1679
1680
* Add ``thread_name_suffix`` parameter to SmartTCPServer_for_testing, to
1681
make it easy to identify which test spawned a thread with an unhandled
1682
exception. (Andrew Bennetts)
1683
1684
* New ``--debugflag``/``-E`` option to ``bzr selftest`` for setting
1685
options for debugging tests, these are complementary to the the -D
1686
options. The ``-Dselftest_debug`` global option has been replaced by the
1687
``-E=allow_debug`` option for selftest. (Andrew Bennetts)
1688
1689
* Parameterised test ids are preserved correctly to aid diagnosis of test
1690
failures. (Robert Collins, Andrew Bennetts)
1691
1692
* selftest now accepts --starting-with <id> to load only the tests whose id
1693
starts with the one specified. This greatly speeds up running the test
1694
suite on a limited set of tests and can be used to run the tests for a
1695
single module, a single class or even a single test. (Vincent Ladeuil)
1696
1697
* The test suite modules have been modified to define load_tests() instead
1698
of test_suite(). That speeds up selective loading (via --load-list)
1699
significantly and provides many examples on how to migrate (grep for
1700
load_tests). (Vincent Ladeuil)
1701
1702
INTERNALS:
1703
1704
* ``Hooks.install_hook`` is now deprecated in favour of
1705
``Hooks.install_named_hook`` which adds a required ``name`` parameter, to
1706
avoid having to call ``Hooks.name_hook``. (Daniel Watkins)
1707
1708
* Implement xml8 serializer. (Aaron Bentley)
1709
1710
* New form ``@deprecated_method(deprecated_in(1, 5, 0))`` for making
1711
deprecation wrappers. (Martin Pool)
1712
1713
* ``Repository.revision_parents`` is now deprecated in favour of
1714
``Repository.get_parent_map([revid])[revid]``. (Jelmer Vernooij)
1715
1716
* The Python ``assert`` statement is no longer used in Bazaar source, and
1717
a test checks this. (Martin Pool)
1718
1719
API CHANGES:
1720
1721
* ``bzrlib.status.show_pending_merges`` requires the repository to be
1722
locked by the caller. Callers should have been doing it anyway, but it
1723
will now raise an exception if they do not. (John Arbash Meinel)
1724
1725
* Repository.get_data_stream, Repository.get_data_stream_for_search(),
1726
Repository.get_deltas_for_revsions(), Repository.revision_trees(),
1727
Repository.item_keys_introduced_by() no longer take read locks.
1728
(Aaron Bentley)
1729
1730
* ``LockableFiles.get_utf8`` and ``.get`` are deprecated, as a start
1731
towards removing LockableFiles and ``.control_files`` entirely.
1732
(Martin Pool)
1733
1734
* Methods deprecated prior to 1.1 have been removed.

1739
------------------
1740
1741
This release of Bazaar includes handy improvements to the speed of log and
1742
status, new options for several commands, improved documentation, and better
1743
hooks, including initial code for server-side hooks. A number of bugs have
1744
been fixed, particularly in interoperability between different formats or
1745
different releases of Bazaar over there network. There's been substantial
1746
internal work in both the repository and network code to enable new features
1747
and faster performance.
1748
1749
BUG FIXES:
1750
1751
* Pushing a branch in "dirstate" format (Branch5) over bzr+ssh would break
1752
if the remote server was < version 1.2. This was due to a bug in the
1753
RemoteRepository.get_parent_map() fallback code.

BUG FIXES:
1761
1762
* ``bzr log -r ..X bzr://`` was failing, because it was getting a request
1763
for ``revision_id=None`` which was not a string.
1764
(John Arbash Meinel, #211661)
1765
1766
* Fixed a bug in handling ghost revisions when logging changes in a
1767
particular file. (John Arbash Meinel, #209948)
1768
1769
* Fix error about "attempt to add line-delta in non-delta knit".
1770
(Andrew Bennetts, #205156)
1771
1772
* Fixed performance degradation in fetching from knit repositories to
1773
knits and packs due to parsing the entire revisions.kndx on every graph
1774
walk iteration fixed by using the Repository.get_graph API. There was
1775

CHANGES:
1784
1785
* bzr main script cannot be imported (Benjamin Peterson)
1786
1787
* On Linux bzr additionally looks for plugins in arch-independent site
1788
directory. (Toshio Kuratomi)
1789
1790
* The ``set_rh`` branch hook is now deprecated. Please migrate
1791
any plugins using this hook to use an alternative, e.g.
1792
``post_change_branch_tip``. (Ian Clatworthy)
1793
1794
* When a plugin cannot be loaded as the file path is not a valid
1795
python module name bzr will now strip a ``bzr_`` prefix from the
1796
front of the suggested name, as many plugins (e.g. bzr-svn)
1797
want to be installed without this prefix. It is a common mistake
1798
to have a folder named "bzr-svn" for that plugin, especially
1799
as this is what bzr branch lp:bzr-svn will give you. (James Westby,
1800
Andrew Cowie)
1801
1802
* UniqueIntegerBugTracker now appends bug-ids instead of joining
1803
them to the base URL. Plugins that register bug trackers may
1804
need a trailing / added to the base URL if one is not already there.
1805
(James Wesby, Andrew Cowie)
1806
1807
FEATURES:
1808
1809
* Added start_commit hook for mutable trees. (Jelmer Vernooij, #186422)
1810
1811
* ``status`` now accepts ``--no-pending`` to show the status without
1812
listing pending merges, which speeds up the command a lot on large
1813
histories. (James Westby, #202830)
1814
1815
* New ``post_change_branch_tip`` hook that is called after the
1816
branch tip is moved but while the branch is still write-locked.
1817
See the User Reference for signature details.
1818
(Ian Clatworthy, James Henstridge)
1819
1820
* Reconfigure can convert a branch to be standalone or to use a shared
1821
repository. (Aaron Bentley)
1822
1823
IMPROVEMENTS:
1824
1825
* The smart protocol now has support for setting branches' revision info
1826
directly. This should make operations like push slightly faster, and is a
1827
step towards server-side hooks. The new request method name is
1828
``Branch.set_last_revision_info``. (Andrew Bennetts)
1829
1830
* ``bzr commit --fixes`` now recognises "gnome" as a tag by default.
1831
(James Westby, Andrew Cowie)
1832
1833
* ``bzr switch`` will attempt to find branches to switch to relative to the
1834
current branch. E.g. ``bzr switch branchname`` will look for
1835
``current_branch/../branchname``. (Robert Collins, Jelmer Vernooij,
1836
Wouter van Heyst)
1837
1838
* Diff is now more specific about execute-bit changes it describes
1839
(Chad Miller)
1840
1841
* Fetching data over HTTP is a bit faster when urllib is used. This is done
1842
by forcing it to recv 64k at a time when reading lines in HTTP headers,
1843
rather than just 1 byte at a time. (Andrew Bennetts)
1844
1845
* Log --short and --line are much faster when -r is not specified.
1846
(Aaron Bentley)
1847
1848
* Merge is faster. We no longer check a file's existence unnecessarily
1849
when merging the execute bit. (Aaron Bentley)
1850
1851
* ``bzr status`` on an explicit list of files no longer shows pending
1852
merges, making it much faster on large trees. (John Arbash Meinel)
1853
1854
* The launchpad directory service now warns the user if they have not set
1855
their launchpad login and are trying to resolve a URL using it, just
1856
in case they want to do a write operation with it. (James Westby)
1857
1858
* The smart protocol client is slightly faster, because it now only queries
1859
the server for the protocol version once per connection. Also, the HTTP
1860
transport will now automatically probe for and use a smart server if
1861
one is present. You can use the new ``nosmart+`` transport decorator
1862
to get the old behaviour. (Andrew Bennetts)
1863
1864
* The ``version`` command takes a ``--short`` option to print just the
1865
version number, for easier use in scripts. (Martin Pool)
1866
1867
* Various operations with revision specs and commands that calculate
1868
revnos and revision ids are faster. (John A. Meinel, Aaron Bentley)
1869
1870
BUGFIXES:
1871
1872
* Add ``root_client_path`` parameter to SmartWSGIApp and
1873
SmartServerRequest. This makes it possible to publish filesystem
1874
locations that don't exactly match URL paths. SmartServerRequest
1875
subclasses should use the new ``translate_client_path`` and
1876
``transport_from_client_path`` methods when dealing with paths received
1877
from a client to take this into account. (Andrew Bennetts, #124089)
1878
1879
* ``bzr mv a b`` can be now used also to rename previously renamed
1880
directories, not only files. (Lukáš Lalinský, #107967)
1881
1882
* ``bzr uncommit --local`` can now remove revisions from the local
1883
branch to be symmetric with ``bzr commit --local``.
1884
(John Arbash Meinel, #93412)
1885
1886
* Don't ask for a password if there is no real terminal.
1887
(Alexander Belchenko, #69851)
1888
1889
* Fix a bug causing a ValueError crash in ``parse_line_delta_iter`` when
1890
fetching revisions from a knit to pack repository or vice versa using
1891
bzr:// (including over http or ssh).
1892
(#208418, Andrew Bennetts, Martin Pool, Robert Collins)
1893
1894
* Fixed ``_get_line`` in ``bzrlib.smart.medium``, which was buggy. Also
1895
fixed ``_get_bytes`` in the same module to use the push back buffer.
1896
These bugs had no known impact in normal use, but were problematic for
1897
developers working on the code, and were likely to cause real bugs sooner
1898
or later. (Andrew Bennetts)
1899
1900
* Implement handling of basename parameter for DefaultMail. (James Westby)
1901
1902
* Incompatibility with Paramiko versions newer than 1.7.2 was fixed.
1903
(Andrew Bennetts, #213425)
1904
1905
* Launchpad locations (lp: URLs) can be pulled. (Aaron Bentley, #181945)
1906
1907
* Merges that add files to deleted root directories complete. They
1908
do create conflicts. (Aaron Bentley, #210092)
1909
1910
* vsftp's return ``550 RNFR command failed.`` supported.
1911
(Marcus Trautwig, #129786)

DOCUMENTATION:
1914
1915
* Improved documentation on send/merge relationship. (Peter Schuller)
1916
1917
* Minor fixes to the User Guide. (Matthew Fuller)
1918
1919
* Reduced the evangelism in the User Guide. (Ian Clatworthy)
1920
1921
* Added Integrating with Bazaar document for developers (Martin Albisetti)
1922
1923
API BREAKS:
1924
1925
* Attempting to pull data from a ghost aware repository (e.g. knits) into a
1926
non-ghost aware repository such as weaves will now fail if there are
1927
ghosts. (Robert Collins)
1928
1929
* ``KnitVersionedFile`` no longer accepts an ``access_mode`` parameter, and
1930
now requires the ``index`` and ``access_method`` parameters to be
1931
supplied. A compatible shim has been kept in the new function
1932
``knit.make_file_knit``. (Robert Collins)
1933
1934
* Log formatters must now provide log_revision instead of show and
1935
show_merge_revno methods. The latter had been deprecated since the 0.17
1936
release. (James Westby)
1937
1938
* ``LoopbackSFTP`` is now called ``SocketAsChannelAdapter``.
1939
(Andrew Bennetts)
1940
1941
* ``osutils.backup_file`` is removed. (Alexander Belchenko)
1942
1943
* ``Repository.get_revision_graph`` is deprecated, with no replacement
1944
method. The method was size(history) and not desirable. (Robert Collins)
1945
1946
* ``revision.revision_graph`` is deprecated, with no replacement function.
1947
The function was size(history) and not desirable. (Robert Collins)
1948
1949
* ``Transport.get_shared_medium`` is deprecated. Use
1950
``Transport.get_smart_medium`` instead. (Andrew Bennetts)
1951
1952
* ``VersionedFile`` factories now accept a get_scope parameter rather
1953
than using a call to ``transaction_finished``, allowing the removal of
1954
the fixed list of versioned files per repository. (Robert Collins)
1955
1956
* ``VersionedFile.annotate_iter`` is deprecated. While in principle this
1957
allowed lower memory use, all users of annotations wanted full file
1958
annotations, and there is no storage format suitable for incremental
1959
line-by-line annotation. (Robert Collins)
1960
1961
* ``VersionedFile.clone_text`` is deprecated. This performance optimisation
1962
is no longer used - reading the content of a file that is undergoing a
1963
file level merge to identical state on two branches is rare enough, and
1964
not expensive enough to special case. (Robert Collins)
1965
1966
* ``VersionedFile.clear_cache`` and ``enable_cache`` are deprecated.
1967
These methods added significant complexity to the ``VersionedFile``
1968
implementation, but were only used for optimising fetches from knits -
1969
which can be done from outside the knit layer, or via a caching
1970
decorator. As knits are not the default format, the complexity is no
1971
longer worth paying. (Robert Collins)
1972
1973
* ``VersionedFile.create_empty`` is removed. This method presupposed a
1974
sensible mapping to a transport for individual files, but pack backed
1975
versioned files have no such mapping. (Robert Collins)
1976
1977
* ``VersionedFile.get_graph`` is deprecated, with no replacement method.
1978
The method was size(history) and not desirable. (Robert Collins)
1979
1980
* ``VersionedFile.get_graph_with_ghosts`` is deprecated, with no
1981
replacement method. The method was size(history) and not desirable.
1982
(Robert Collins)
1983
1984
* ``VersionedFile.get_parents`` is deprecated, please use
1985
``VersionedFile.get_parent_map``. (Robert Collins)
1986
1987
* ``VersionedFile.get_sha1`` is deprecated, please use
1988
``VersionedFile.get_sha1s``. (Robert Collins)
1989
1990
* ``VersionedFile.has_ghost`` is now deprecated, as it is both expensive
1991
and unused outside of a single test. (Robert Collins)
1992
1993
* ``VersionedFile.iter_parents`` is now deprecated in favour of
1994
``get_parent_map`` which can be used to instantiate a Graph on a
1995
VersionedFile. (Robert Collins)
1996
1997
* ``VersionedFileStore`` no longer uses the transaction parameter given
1998
to most methods; amongst other things this means that the
1999
get_weave_or_empty method no longer guarantees errors on a missing weave
2000
in a readonly transaction, and no longer caches versioned file instances
2001
which reduces memory pressure (but requires more careful management by
2002
callers to preserve performance). (Robert Collins)
2003
2004
TESTING:
2005
2006
* New -Dselftest_debug flag disables clearing of the debug flags during
2007
tests. This is useful if you want to use e.g. -Dhpss to help debug a
2008
failing test. Be aware that using this feature is likely to cause
2009
spurious test failures if used with the full suite. (Andrew Bennetts)
2010
2011
* selftest --load-list now uses a new more agressive test loader that will
2012
avoid loading unneeded modules and building their tests. Plugins can use
2013
this new loader by defining a load_tests function instead of a test_suite
2014
function. (a forthcoming patch will provide many examples on how to
2015
implement this).
2016
(Vincent Ladeuil)
2017
2018
* selftest --load-list now does some sanity checks regarding duplicate test
2019
IDs and tests present in the list but not found in the actual test suite.
2020
(Vincent Ladeuil)
2021
2022
* Slightly more concise format for the selftest progress bar, so there's
2023
more space to show the test name. (Martin Pool) ::

[2500/10884, 1fail, 3miss in 1m29s] test_revisionnamespaces.TestRev
2026
2027
* The test suite takes much less memory to run, and is a bit faster. This
2028
is done by clearing most attributes of TestCases after running them, if
2029
they succeeded. (Andrew Bennetts)
2030
2031
INTERNALS:
2032
2033
* Added ``_build_client_protocol`` to ``_SmartClient``. (Andrew Bennetts)
2034
2035
* Added basic infrastructure for automatic plugin suggestion.
2036
(Martin Albisetti)
2037
2038
* If a ``LockableFiles`` object is not explicitly unlocked (for example
2039
because of a missing ``try/finally`` block, it will give a warning but
2040
not automatically unlock itself. (Previously they did.) This
2041
sometimes caused knock-on errors if for example the network connection
2042
had already failed, and should not be relied upon by code.
2043
(Martin Pool, #109520)
2044
2045
* ``make dist`` target to build a release tarball, and also
2046
``check-dist-tarball`` and ``dist-upload-escudero``. (Martin Pool)
2047
2048
* The ``read_response_tuple`` method of ``SmartClientRequestProtocol*``
2049
classes will now raise ``UnknownSmartMethod`` when appropriate, so that
2050
callers don't need to try distinguish unknown request errors from other
2051
errors. (Andrew Bennetts)
2052
2053
* ``set_make_working_trees`` is now implemented provided on all repository
2054
implementations (Aaron Bentley)
2055
2056
* ``VersionedFile`` now has a new method ``get_parent_map`` which, like
2057
``Graph.get_parent_map`` returns a dict of key:parents. (Robert Collins)

------------------
2079
2080
Bazaar has become part of the GNU project <http://www.gnu.org>
2081
2082
Many operations that act on history, including ``log`` and ``annotate`` are now
2083
substantially faster. Several bugs have been fixed and several new options and
2084
features have been added.
2085
2086
TESTING:

NOTES WHEN UPGRADING:
2097
2098
* The backup directory created by ``upgrade`` is now called
2099
``backup.bzr``, not ``.bzr.backup``. (Martin Albisetti)
2100
2101
CHANGES:
2102
2103
* A new repository format 'development' has been added. This format will
2104
represent the latest 'in-progress' format that the bzr developers are
2105
interested in getting early-adopter testing and feedback on.
2106
``doc/developers/development-repo.txt`` has detailed information.
2107
(Robert Collins)
2108
2109
* BZR_LOG environment variable controls location of .bzr.log trace file.
2110
User can suppress writing messages to .bzr.log by using '/dev/null'
2111
filename (on Linux) or 'NUL' (on Windows). If BZR_LOG variable
2112
is not defined but BZR_HOME is defined then default location
2113
for .bzr.log trace file is ``$BZR_HOME/.bzr.log``.
2114
(Alexander Belchenko)
2115
2116
* ``launchpad`` builtin plugin now shipped as separate part in standalone
2117
bzr.exe, installed to ``C:\Program Files\Bazaar\plugins`` directory,
2118
and standalone installer allows user to skip installation of this plugin.
2119
(Alexander Belchenko)
2120
2121
* Restore auto-detection of plink.exe on Windows. (Dmitry Vasiliev)
2122
2123
* Version number is now shown as "1.2" or "1.2pr2", without zeroed or
2124
missing final fields. (Martin Pool)
2125
2126
FEATURES:
2127
2128
* ``branch`` and ``checkout`` can hard-link working tree files, which is
2129
faster and saves space. (Aaron Bentley)
2130
2131
* ``bzr send`` will now also look at the ``child_submit_to`` setting in
2132
the submit branch to determine the email address to send to.
2133
(Jelmer Vernooij)
2134
2135
IMPROVEMENTS:
2136
2137
* BzrBranch._lefthand_history is faster on pack repos. (Aaron Bentley)
2138
2139
* Branch6.generate_revision_history is faster. (Aaron Bentley)
2140
2141
* Directory services can now be registered, allowing special URLs to be
2142
dereferenced into real URLs. This is a generalization and cleanup of
2143
the lp: transport lookup. (Aaron Bentley)
2144
2145
* Merge directives that are automatically attached to emails have nicer
2146
filenames, based on branch-nick + revno. (Aaron Bentley)
2147
2148
* ``push`` has a ``--revision`` option, to specify what revision to push up
2149
to. (Daniel Watkins)
2150
2151
* Significantly reducing execution time and network traffic for trivial
2152
case of running ``bzr missing`` command for two identical branches.
2153
(Alexander Belchenko)
2154
2155
* Speed up operations that look at the revision graph (such as 'bzr log').
2156
``KnitPackRepositor.get_revision_graph`` uses ``Graph.iter_ancestry`` to
2157
extract the revision history. This allows filtering ghosts while
2158
stepping instead of needing to peek ahead. (John Arbash Meinel)
2159
2160
* The ``hooks`` command lists installed hooks, to assist in debugging.
2161
(Daniel Watkins)
2162
2163
* Updates to how ``annotate`` work. Should see a measurable improvement in
2164
performance and memory consumption for file with a lot of merges.
2165
Also, correctly handle when a line is introduced by both parents (it
2166
should be attributed to the first merge which notices this, and not
2167
to all subsequent merges.) (John Arbash Meinel)
2168
2169
BUGFIXES:
2170
2171
* Autopacking no longer holds the full set of inventory lines in
2172
memory while copying. For large repositories, this can amount to
2173
hundreds of MB of ram consumption.
2174
(Ian Clatworthy, John Arbash Meinel)
2175
2176
* Cherrypicking when using ``--format=merge3`` now explictly excludes
2177
BASE lines. (John Arbash Meinel, #151731)
2178
2179
* Disable plink's interactive prompt for password.
2180
(#107593, Dmitry Vasiliev)
2181
2182
* Encode command line arguments from unicode to user_encoding before
2183
invoking external mail client in `bzr send` command.
2184
(#139318, Alexander Belchenko)
2185
2186
* Fixed problem connecting to ``bzr+https://`` servers.
2187
(#198793, John Ferlito)
2188
2189
* Improved error reporting in the Launchpad plugin. (Daniel Watkins,
2190
#196618)
2191
2192
* Include quick-start-summary.svg file to python-based installer(s)
2193
for Windows. (#192924, Alexander Belchenko)
2194
2195
* lca merge now respects specified files. (Aaron Bentley)
2196
2197
* Make version-info --custom imply --all. (#195560, James Westby)
2198
2199
* ``merge --preview`` now works for merges that add or modify
2200
symlinks (James Henstridge)
2201
2202
* Redirecting the output from ``bzr merge`` (when the remembered
2203
location is used) now works. (John Arbash Meinel)
2204
2205
* setup.py script explicitly checks for Python version.
2206
(Jari Aalto, Alexander Belchenko, #200569)
2207
2208
* UnknownFormatErrors no longer refer to branches regardless of kind of
2209
unknown format. (Daniel Watkins, #173980)
2210
2211
* Upgrade bundled ConfigObj to version 4.5.2, which properly quotes #
2212
signs, among other small improvements. (Matt Nordhoff, #86838)
2213
2214
* Use correct indices when emitting LCA conflicts. This fixes IndexError
2215
errors. (Aaron Bentley, #196780)
2216
2217
DOCUMENTATION:
2218
2219
* Explained how to use ``version-info --custom`` in the User Guide.
2220
(Neil Martinsen-Burrell)
2221
2222
API BREAKS:
2223
2224
* Support for loading plugins from zip files and
2225
``bzrlib.plugin.load_from_zip()`` function are deprecated.
2226
(Alexander Belchenko)
2227
2228
TESTING:
2229
2230
* Added missing blackbox tests for ``modified`` (Adrian Wilkins)
2231
2232
* The branch interface tests were invalid for branches using rich-root
2233
repositories because the empty string is not a valid file-id.
2234
(Robert Collins)
2235
2236
INTERNALS:
2237
2238
* ``Graph.iter_ancestry`` returns the ancestry of revision ids. Similar to
2239
``Repository.get_revision_graph()`` except it includes ghosts and you can
2240
stop part-way through. (John Arbash Meinel)
2241
2242
* New module ``tools/package_mf.py`` provide custom module finder for
2243
python packages (improves standard python library's modulefinder.py)
2244
used by ``setup.py`` script while building standalone bzr.exe.
2245
(Alexander Belchenko)
2246
2247
* New remote method ``RemoteBzrDir.find_repositoryV2`` adding support for
2248
detecting external lookup support on remote repositories. This method is
2249
now attempted first when lookup up repositories, leading to an extra
2250
round trip on older bzr smart servers. (Robert Collins)
2251
2252
* Repository formats have a new supported-feature attribute
2253
``supports_external_lookups`` used to indicate repositories which support
2254
falling back to other repositories when they have partial data.
2255
(Robert Collins)
2256
2257
* ``Repository.get_revision_graph_with_ghosts`` and
2258
``bzrlib.revision.(common_ancestor,MultipleRevisionSources,common_graph)``
2259
have been deprecated. (John Arbash Meinel)
2260
2261
* ``Tree.iter_changes`` is now a public API, replacing the work-in-progress
2262
``Tree._iter_changes``. The api is now considered stable and ready for
2263
external users. (Aaron Bentley)
2264
2265
* The bzrdir format registry now accepts an ``alias`` keyword to
2266
register_metadir, used to indicate that a format name is an alias for
2267
some other format and thus should not be reported when describing the
2268
format. (Robert Collins)

NOTES WHEN UPGRADING:
2283
2284
* Fetching via the smart protocol may need to reconnect once during a fetch
2285
if the remote server is running Bazaar 1.1 or earlier, because the client
2286
attempts to use more efficient requests that confuse older servers. You
2287
may be required to re-enter a password or passphrase when this happens.
2288
This won't happen if the server is upgraded to Bazaar 1.2.
2289
(Andrew Bennetts)
2290
2291
CHANGES:
2292
2293
* Fetching via bzr+ssh will no longer fill ghosts by default (this is
2294
consistent with pack-0.92 fetching over SFTP). (Robert Collins)
2295
2296
* Formatting of ``bzr plugins`` output is changed to be more human-
2297
friendly. Full path of plugins locations will be shown only with
2298
``--verbose`` command-line option. (Alexander Belchenko)
2299
2300
* ``merge`` now prefers to use the submit branch, but will fall back to
2301
parent branch. For many users, this has no effect. But some users who
2302
pull and merge on the same branch will notice a change. This change
2303
makes it easier to work on a branch on two different machines, pulling
2304
between the machines, while merging from the upstream.
2305
``merge --remember`` can now be used to set the submit_branch.
2306
(Aaron Bentley)
2307
2308
FEATURES:
2309
2310
* ``merge --preview`` produces a diff of the changes merge would make,
2311
but does not actually perform the merge. (Aaron Bentley)
2312
2313
* New smart method ``Repository.get_parent_map`` for getting revision
2314
parent data. This returns additional parent information topologically
2315
adjacent to the requested data to reduce round trip latency impacts.
2316
(Robert Collins)
2317
2318
* New smart method, ``Repository.stream_revisions_chunked``, for fetching
2319
revision data that streams revision data via a chunked encoding. This
2320
avoids buffering large amounts of revision data on the server and on the
2321
client, and sends less data to the server to request the revisions.
2322
(Andrew Bennetts, Robert Collins, #178353)
2323
2324
* The launchpad plugin now handles lp urls of the form
2325
``lp://staging/``, ``lp://demo/``, ``lp://dev/`` to use the appropriate
2326
launchpad instance to do the resolution of the branch identities.
2327
This is primarily of use to Launchpad developers, but can also
2328
be used by other users who want to try out Launchpad as
2329
a branch location without messing up their public Launchpad
2330
account. Branches that are pushed to the staging environment
2331
have an expected lifetime of one day. (Tim Penhey)
2332
2333
IMPROVEMENTS:
2334
2335
* Creating a new branch no longer tries to read the entire revision-history
2336
unnecessarily over smart server operations. (Robert Collins)
2337
2338
* Fetching between different repository formats with compatible models now
2339
takes advantage of the smart method to stream revisions. (Andrew Bennetts)
2340
2341
* The ``--coverage`` option is now global, rather specific to ``bzr
2342
selftest``. (Andrew Bennetts)
2343
2344
* The ``register-branch`` command will now use the public url of the branch
2345
containing the current directory, if one has been set and no explicit
2346
branch is provided. (Robert Collins)
2347
2348
* Tweak the ``reannotate`` code path to optimize the 2-parent case.
2349
Speeds up ``bzr annotate`` with a pack repository by approx 3:2.

2351
2352
BUGFIXES:
2353
2354
* Calculate remote path relative to the shared medium in _SmartClient. This
2355
is related to the problem in bug #124089. (Andrew Bennetts)
2356
2357
* Cleanly handle connection errors in smart protocol version two, the same
2358
way as they are handled by version one. (Andrew Bennetts)
2359
2360
* Clearer error when ``version-info --custom`` is used without
2361
``--template`` (Lukáš Lalinský)
2362
2363
* Don't raise UnavailableFeature during test setup when medusa is not
2364
available or tearDown is never called leading to nasty side effects.
2365
(#137823, Vincent Ladeuil)
2366
2367
* If a plugin's test suite cannot be loaded, for example because of a syntax
2368
error in the tests, then ``selftest`` fails, rather than just printing
2369
a warning. (Martin Pool, #189771)
2370
2371
* List possible values for BZR_SSH environment variable in env-variables
2372
help topic. (Alexander Belchenko, #181842)
2373
2374
* New methods ``push_log_file`` and ``pop_log_file`` to intercept messages:
2375
popping the log redirection now precisely restores the previous state,
2376
which makes it easier to use bzr log output from other programs.
2377
TestCaseInTempDir no longer depends on a log redirection being established
2378
by the test framework, which lets bzr tests cleanly run from a normal
2379
unittest runner.
2380
(#124153, #124849, Martin Pool, Jonathan Lange)
2381
2382
* ``pull --quiet`` is now more quiet, in particular a message is no longer
2383
printed when the remembered pull location is used. (James Westby,
2384
#185907)
2385
2386
* ``reconfigure`` can safely be interrupted while fetching.
2387
(Aaron Bentley, #179316)
2388
2389
* ``reconfigure`` preserves tags when converting to and from lightweight
2390
checkouts. (Aaron Bentley, #182040)
2391
2392
* Stop polluting /tmp when running selftest.
2393
(Vincent Ladeuil, #123623)
2394
2395
* Switch from NFKC => NFC for normalization checks. NFC allows a few
2396
more characters which should be considered valid.
2397
(John Arbash Meinel, #185458)
2398
2399
* The launchpad plugin now uses the ``edge`` xmlrpc server to avoid
2400
interacting badly with a bug on the launchpad side. (Robert Collins)
2401
2402
* Unknown hostnames when connecting to a ``bzr://`` URL no longer cause
2403
tracebacks. (Andrew Bennetts, #182849)
2404
2405
API BREAKS:
2406
2407
* Classes implementing Merge types like Merge3Merger must now accept (and
2408
honour) a do_merge flag in their constructor. (Aaron Bentley)
2409
2410
* ``Repository.add_inventory`` and ``add_revision`` now require the caller
2411
to previously take a write lock (and start a write group.)
2412
(Martin Pool)
2413
2414
TESTING:
2415
2416
* selftest now accepts --load-list <file> to load a test id list. This
2417
speeds up running the test suite on a limited set of tests.
2418
(Vincent Ladeuil)
2419
2420
INTERNALS:
2421
2422
* Add a new method ``get_result`` to graph search objects. The resulting
2423
``SearchResult`` can be used to recreate the search later, which will
2424
be useful in reducing network traffic. (Robert Collins)
2425
2426
* Use convenience function to check whether two repository handles
2427
are referring to the same repository in ``Repository.get_graph``.
2428
(Jelmer Vernooij, #187162)
2429
2430
* Fetching now passes the find_ghosts flag through to the
2431
``InterRepository.missing_revision_ids`` call consistently for all
2432
repository types. This will enable faster missing revision discovery with
2433
bzr+ssh. (Robert Collins)
2434
2435
* Fix error handling in Repository.insert_data_stream. (Lukas Lalinsky)
2436
2437
* ``InterRepository.missing_revision_ids`` is now deprecated in favour of
2438
``InterRepository.search_missing_revision_ids`` which returns a
2439
``bzrlib.graph.SearchResult`` suitable for making requests from the smart
2440
server. (Robert Collins)
2441
2442
* New error ``NoPublicBranch`` for commands that need a public branch to
2443
operate. (Robert Collins)
2444
2445
* New method ``iter_inventories`` on Repository for access to many
2446
inventories. This is primarily used by the ``revision_trees`` method, as
2447
direct access to inventories is discouraged. (Robert Collins)
2448
2449
* New method ``next_with_ghosts`` on the Graph breadth-first-search objects
2450
which will split out ghosts and present parents into two separate sets,
2451
useful for code which needs to be aware of ghosts (e.g. fetching data
2452
cares about ghosts during revision selection). (Robert Collins)
2453
2454
* Record a timestamp against each mutter to the trace file, relative to the
2455
first import of bzrlib. (Andrew Bennetts)
2456
2457
* ``Repository.get_data_stream`` is now deprecated in favour of
2458
``Repository.get_data_stream_for_search`` which allows less network
2459
traffic when requesting data streams over a smart server. (Robert Collins)
2460
2461
* ``RemoteBzrDir._get_tree_branch`` no longer triggers ``_ensure_real``,
2462
removing one round trip on many network operations. (Robert Collins)
2463
2464
* RemoteTransport's ``recommended_page_size`` method now returns 64k, like
2465
SFTPTransport and HttpTransportBase. (Andrew Bennetts)
2466
2467
* Repository has a new method ``has_revisions`` which signals the presence
2468
of many revisions by returning a set of the revisions listed which are
2469
present. This can be done by index queries without reading data for parent
2470
revision names etc. (Robert Collins)

2477
2478
bzr 1.1rc1 2008-01-05
2479
---------------------
2480
2481
CHANGES:
2482
2483
* Dotted revision numbers have been revised. Instead of growing longer with
2484
nested branches the branch number just increases. (eg instead of 1.1.1.1.1
2485
we now report 1.2.1.) This helps scale long lived branches which have many
2486
feature branches merged between them. (John Arbash Meinel)
2487
2488
* The syntax ``bzr diff branch1 branch2`` is no longer supported.
2489
Use ``bzr diff branch1 --new branch2`` instead. This change has
2490
been made to remove the ambiguity where ``branch2`` is in fact a
2491
specific file to diff within ``branch1``.
2492
2493
FEATURES:
2494
2495
* New option to use custom template-based formats in ``bzr version-info``.
2496
(Lukáš Lalinský)
2497
2498
* diff '--using' allows an external diff tool to be used for files.
2499
(Aaron Bentley)
2500
2501
* New "lca" merge-type for fast everyday merging that also supports
2502
criss-cross merges. (Aaron Bentley)
2503
2504
IMPROVEMENTS:
2505
2506
* ``annotate`` now doesn't require a working tree. (Lukáš Lalinský,
2507
#90049)
2508
2509
* ``branch`` and ``checkout`` can now use files from a working tree to
2510
to speed up the process. For checkout, this requires the new
2511
--files-from flag. (Aaron Bentley)
2512
2513
* ``bzr diff`` now sorts files in alphabetical order. (Aaron Bentley)
2514
2515
* ``bzr diff`` now works on branches without working trees. Tree-less
2516
branches can also be compared to each other and to working trees using
2517
the new diff options ``--old`` and ``--new``. Diffing between branches,
2518
with or without trees, now supports specific file filtering as well.
2519
(Ian Clatworthy, #6700)
2520
2521
* ``bzr pack`` now orders revision texts in topological order, with newest
2522
at the start of the file, promoting linear reads for ``bzr log`` and the
2523
like. This partially fixes #154129. (Robert Collins)
2524
2525
* Merge directives now fetch prerequisites from the target branch if
2526
needed. (Aaron Bentley)
2527
2528
* pycurl now handles digest authentication.
2529
(Vincent Ladeuil)
2530
2531
* ``reconfigure`` can now convert from repositories. (Aaron Bentley)
2532
2533
* ``-l`` is now a short form for ``--limit`` in ``log``. (Matt Nordhoff)
2534
2535
* ``merge`` now warns when merge directives cause cherrypicks.
2536
(Aaron Bentley)
2537
2538
* ``split`` now supported, to enable splitting large trees into smaller
2539
pieces. (Aaron Bentley)
2540
2541
BUGFIXES:
2542
2543
* Avoid AttributeError when unlocking a pack repository when an error occurs.
2544
(Martin Pool, #180208)
2545
2546
* Better handle short reads when processing multiple range requests.
2547
(Vincent Ladeuil, #179368)
2548
2549
* build_tree acceleration uses the correct path when a file has been moved.
2550
(Aaron Bentley)
2551
2552
* ``commit`` now succeeds when a checkout and its master branch share a
2553
repository. (Aaron Bentley, #177592)
2554
2555
* Fixed error reporting of unsupported timezone format in
2556
``log --timezone``. (Lukáš Lalinský, #178722)
2557
2558
* Fixed Unicode encoding error in ``ignored`` when the output is
2559
redirected to a pipe. (Lukáš Lalinský)
2560
2561
* Fix traceback when sending large response bodies over the smart protocol
2562
on Windows. (Andrew Bennetts, #115781)
2563
2564
* Fix ``urlutils.relative_url`` for the case of two ``file:///`` URLs
2565
pointed to different logical drives on Windows.
2566
(Alexander Belchenko, #90847)
2567
2568
* HTTP test servers are now compatible with the http protocol version 1.1.
2569
(Vincent Ladeuil, #175524)
2570
2571
* _KnitParentsProvider.get_parent_map now handles requests for ghosts
2572
correctly, instead of erroring or attributing incorrect parents to ghosts.
2573
(Aaron Bentley)
2574
2575
* ``merge --weave --uncommitted`` now works. (Aaron Bentley)
2576
2577
* pycurl authentication handling was broken and incomplete. Fix handling of
2578
user:pass embedded in the urls.
2579
(Vincent Ladeuil, #177643)
2580
2581
* Files inside non-directories are now handled like other conflict types.
2582
(Aaron Bentley, #177390)
2583
2584
* ``reconfigure`` is able to convert trees into lightweight checkouts.
2585
(Aaron Bentley)
2586
2587
* Reduce lockdir timeout to 0 when running ``bzr serve``. (Andrew Bennetts,
2588
#148087)
2589
2590
* Test that the old ``version_info_format`` functions still work, even
2591
though they are deprecated. (John Arbash Meinel, ShenMaq, #177872)
2592
2593
* Transform failures no longer cause ImmortalLimbo errors (Aaron Bentley,
2594
#137681)
2595
2596
* ``uncommit`` works even when the commit messages of revisions to be
2597
removed use characters not supported in the terminal encoding.
2598
(Aaron Bentley)
2599
2600
* When dumb http servers return whole files instead of the requested ranges,
2601
read the remaining bytes by chunks to avoid overflowing network buffers.
2602
(Vincent Ladeuil, #175886)
2603
2604
DOCUMENTATION:
2605
2606
* Minor tweaks made to the bug tracker integration documentation.
2607
(Ian Clatworthy)
2608
2609
* Reference material has now be moved out of the User Guide and added
2610
to the User Reference. The User Reference has gained 4 sections as
2611
a result: Authenication Settings, Configuration Settings, Conflicts
2612
and Hooks. All help topics are now dumped into text format in the
2613
doc/en/user-reference directory for those who like browsing that
2614
information in their editor. (Ian Clatworthy)
2615
2616
* *Using Bazaar with Launchpad* tutorial added. (Ian Clatworthy)
2617
2618
INTERNALS:
2619
2620
* find_* methods available for BzrDirs, Branches and WorkingTrees.
2621

2623
* Help topics can now be loaded from files.
2624
(Ian Clatworthy, Alexander Belchenko)
2625
2626
* get_parent_map now always provides tuples as its output. (Aaron Bentley)
2627
2628
* Parent Providers should now implement ``get_parent_map`` returning a
2629
dictionary instead of ``get_parents`` returning a list.
2630
``Graph.get_parents`` is now deprecated. (John Arbash Meinel,
2631
Robert Collins)
2632
2633
* Patience Diff now supports arbitrary python objects, as long as they
2634
support ``hash()``. (John Arbash Meinel)
2635
2636
* Reduce selftest overhead to establish test names by memoization.
2637
(Vincent Ladeuil)
2638
2639
API BREAKS:
2640
2641
TESTING:
2642
2643
* Modules can now customise their tests by defining a ``load_tests``
2644
attribute. ``pydoc bzrlib.tests.TestUtil.TestLoader.loadTestsFromModule``
2645
for the documentation on this attribute. (Robert Collins)
2646
2647
* New helper function ``bzrlib.tests.condition_id_re`` which helps
2648
filter tests based on a regular expression search on the tests id.
2649
(Robert Collins)
2650
2651
* New helper function ``bzrlib.tests.condition_isinstance`` which helps
2652
filter tests based on class. (Robert Collins)
2653
2654
* New helper function ``bzrlib.tests.exclude_suite_by_condition`` which
2655
generalises the ``exclude_suite_by_re`` function. (Robert Collins)
2656
2657
* New helper function ``bzrlib.tests.filter_suite_by_condition`` which
2658
generalises the ``filter_suite_by_re`` function. (Robert Collins)
2659
2660
* New helper method ``bzrlib.tests.exclude_tests_by_re`` which gives a new
2661
TestSuite that does not contain tests from the input that matched a
2662
regular expression. (Robert Collins)
2663
2664
* New helper method ``bzrlib.tests.randomize_suite`` which returns a
2665
randomized copy of the input suite. (Robert Collins)
2666
2667
* New helper method ``bzrlib.tests.split_suite_by_re`` which splits a test
2668
suite into two according to a regular expression. (Robert Collins)
2669
2670
* Parametrize all http tests for the transport implementations, the http
2671
protocol versions (1.0 and 1.1) and the authentication schemes.
2672
(Vincent Ladeuil)
2673
2674
* The ``exclude_pattern`` and ``random_order`` parameters to the function
2675
``bzrlib.tests.filter_suite_by_re`` have been deprecated. (Robert Collins)
2676
2677
* The method ``bzrlib.tests.sort_suite_by_re`` has been deprecated. It is
2678
replaced by the new helper methods added in this release. (Robert Collins)

BUGFIXES:
2709
2710
* Fix Makefile rules for doc generation. (Ian Clatworthy, #175207)
2711
2712
* Give more feedback during long http downloads by making readv deliver data
2713
as it arrives for urllib, and issue more requests for pycurl. High latency
2714
networks are better handled by urllib, the pycurl implementation give more
2715
feedback but also incur more latency.
2716
(Vincent Ladeuil, #173010)
2717

* Annotate merge (merge-type=weave) now supports cherrypicking.
2744
(Aaron Bentley)
2745
2746
* ``bzr commit`` now doesn't print the revision number twice. (Matt
2747
Nordhoff, #172612)
2748
2749
* New configuration option ``bugtracker_<tracker_abbrevation>_url`` to
2750
define locations of bug trackers that are not directly supported by
2751
bzr or a plugin. The URL will be treated as a template and ``{id}``
2752
placeholders will be replaced by specific bug IDs. (Lukáš Lalinský)
2753
2754
* Support logging single merge revisions with short and line log formatters.
2755
(Kent Gibson)
2756
2757
* User Guide enhanced with suggested readability improvements from
2758
Matt Revell and corrections from John Arbash Meinel. (Ian Clatworthy)
2759
2760
* Quick Start Guide renamed to Quick Start Card, moved down in
2761
the catalog, provided in pdf and png format and updated to refer
2762
to ``send`` instead of ``bundle``. (Ian Clatworthy, #165080)
2763
2764
* ``switch`` can now be used on heavyweight checkouts as well as
2765
lightweight ones. After switching a heavyweight checkout, the
2766
local branch is a mirror/cache of the new bound branch and
2767
uncommitted changes in the working tree are merged. As a safety
2768
check, if there are local commits in a checkout which have not
2769
been committed to the previously bound branch, then ``switch``
2770
fails unless the ``--force`` option is given. This option is
2771
now also required if the branch a lightweight checkout is pointing
2772
to has been moved. (Ian Clatworthy)

2787
filename to user.
2788
(Alexander Belchenko, #111758)
2789
2790
* Catch ShortReadvErrors while using pycurl. Also make readv more robust by
2791
allowing multiple GET requests to be issued if too many ranges are
2792
required.
2793
(Vincent Ladeuil, #172701)

* Fall back to showing e-mail in ``log --short/--line`` if the
2799
committer/author has only e-mail. (Lukáš Lalinský, #157026)
2800
2801
API BREAKS:
2802
2803
* Deprecate not passing a ``location`` argument to commit reporters'
2804
``started`` methods. (Matt Nordhoff)

2808
---------------------
2809
2810
NOTES WHEN UPGRADING:
2811
2812
* The default repository format is now ``pack-0.92``. This
2813
default is used when creating new repositories with ``init`` and
2814
``init-repo``, and when branching over bzr+ssh or bzr+hpss.
2815
(See https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/164626)
2816
2817
This format can be read and written by Bazaar 0.92 and later, and
2818
data can be transferred to and from older formats.
2819
2820
To upgrade, please reconcile your repository (``bzr reconcile``), and then
2821
upgrade (``bzr upgrade``).
2822
2823
``pack-0.92`` offers substantially better scaling and performance than the
2824
previous knits format. Some operations are slower where the code already
2825
had bad scaling characteristics under knits, the pack format makes such
2826
operations more visible as part of being more scalable overall. We will
2827
correct such operations over the coming releases and encourage the filing
2828
of bugs on any operation which you observe to be slower in a packs
2829
repository. One particular case that we do not intend to fix is pulling
2830
data from a pack repository into a knit repository over a high latency
2831
link; downgrading such data requires reinsertion of the file texts, and
2832
this is a classic space/time tradeoff. The current implementation is
2833
conservative on memory usage because we need to support converting data
2834
from any tree without problems.
2835
(Robert Collins, Martin Pool, #164476)
2836
2837
CHANGES:
2838
2839
* Disable detection of plink.exe as possible ssh vendor. Plink vendor
2840
still available if user selects it explicitly with BZR_SSH environment
2841
variable. (Alexander Belchenko, workaround for bug #107593)
2842
2843
* The pack format is now accessible as "pack-0.92", or "pack-0.92-subtree"
2844
to enable the subtree functions (for example, for bzr-svn).
2845
See http://doc.bazaar-vcs.org/latest/developer/packrepo.html
2846
(Martin Pool)
2847
2848
FEATURES:
2849
2850
* New ``authentication.conf`` file holding the password or other credentials
2851
for remote servers. This can be used for ssh, sftp, smtp and other
2852
supported transports.
2853
(Vincent Ladeuil)
2854
2855
* New rich-root and rich-root-pack formats, recording the same data about
2856
tree roots that's recorded for all other directories.
2857
(Aaron Bentley, #164639)
2858
2859
* ``pack-0.92`` repositories can now be reconciled.
2860
(Robert Collins, #154173)
2861
2862
* ``switch`` command added for changing the branch a lightweight checkout
2863
is associated with and updating the tree to reflect the latest content
2864
accordingly. This command was previously part of the BzrTools plug-in.
2865
(Ian Clatworthy, Aaron Bentley, David Allouche)
2866
2867
* ``reconfigure`` command can now convert branches, trees, or checkouts to
2868
lightweight checkouts. (Aaron Bentley)
2869
2870
PERFORMANCE:
2871
2872
* Commit updates the state of the working tree via a delta rather than
2873
supplying entirely new basis trees. For commit of a single specified file
2874
this reduces the wall clock time for commit by roughly a 30%.
2875
(Robert Collins, Martin Pool)
2876
2877
* Commit with many automatically found deleted paths no longer performs
2878
linear scanning for the children of those paths during inventory
2879
iteration. This should fix commit performance blowing out when many such
2880
paths occur during commit. (Robert Collins, #156491)
2881
2882
* Fetch with pack repositories will no longer read the entire history graph.
2883
(Robert Collins, #88319)
2884
2885
* Revert takes out an appropriate lock when reverting to a basis tree, and
2886
does not read the basis inventory twice. (Robert Collins)
2887
2888
* Diff does not require an inventory to be generated on dirstate trees.
2889
(Aaron Bentley, #149254)
2890
2891
* New annotate merge (--merge-type=weave) implementation is fast on
2892
versionedfiles withough cached annotations, e.g. pack-0.92.
2893
(Aaron Bentley)
2894
2895
IMPROVEMENTS:
2896
2897
* ``bzr merge`` now warns when it encounters a criss-cross merge.
2898
(Aaron Bentley)
2899
2900
* ``bzr send`` now doesn't require the target e-mail address to be
2901
specified on the command line if an interactive e-mail client is used.
2902
(Lukáš Lalinský)
2903
2904
* ``bzr tags`` now prints the revision number for each tag, instead of
2905
the revision id, unless --show-ids is passed. In addition, tags can be
2906
sorted chronologically instead of lexicographically with --sort=time.
2907
(Adeodato Simó, #120231)
2908
2909
* Windows standalone version of bzr is able to load system-wide plugins from
2910
"plugins" subdirectory in installation directory. In addition standalone
2911
installer write to the registry (HKLM\SOFTWARE\Bazaar) useful info
2912
about paths and bzr version. (Alexander Belchenko, #129298)

DOCUMENTATION:
2915
2916
BUG FIXES:
2917
2918
* A progress bar has been added for knitpack -> knitpack fetching.
2919
(Robert Collins, #157789, #159147)
2920
2921
* Branching from a branch via smart server now preserves the repository
2922
format. (Andrew Bennetts, #164626)
2923
2924
* ``commit`` is now able to invoke an external editor in a non-ascii
2925
directory. (Daniel Watkins, #84043)
2926
2927
* Catch connection errors for ftp.
2928
(Vincent Ladeuil, #164567)
2929
2930
* ``check`` no longer reports spurious unreferenced text versions.
2931
(Robert Collins, John A Meinel, #162931, #165071)
2932
2933
* Conflicts are now resolved recursively by ``revert``.
2934
(Aaron Bentley, #102739)
2935
2936
* Detect invalid transport reuse attempts by catching invalid URLs.
2937
(Vincent Ladeuil, #161819)
2938
2939
* Deleting a file without removing it shows a correct diff, not a traceback.
2940
(Aaron Bentley)
2941
2942
* Do no use timeout in HttpServer anymore.
2943
(Vincent Ladeuil, #158972).
2944
2945
* Don't catch the exceptions related to the http pipeline status before
2946
retrying an http request or some programming errors may be masked.
2947
(Vincent Ladeuil, #160012)
2948
2949
* Fix ``bzr rm`` to not delete modified and ignored files.
2950
(Lukáš Lalinský, #172598)
2951
2952
* Fix exception when revisionspec contains merge revisons but log
2953
formatter doesn't support merge revisions. (Kent Gibson, #148908)
2954
2955
* Fix exception when ScopeReplacer is assigned to before any members have
2956
been retrieved. (Aaron Bentley)
2957
2958
* Fix multiple connections during checkout --lightweight.
2959
(Vincent Ladeuil, #159150)
2960
2961
* Fix possible error in insert_data_stream when copying between
2962
pack repositories over bzr+ssh or bzr+http.
2963
KnitVersionedFile.get_data_stream now makes sure that requested
2964
compression parents are sent before any delta hunks that depend
2965
on them.
2966
(Martin Pool, #164637)
2967
2968
* Fix typo in limiting offsets coalescing for http, leading to
2969
whole files being downloaded instead of parts.
2970
(Vincent Ladeuil, #165061)
2971
2972
* FTP server errors don't error in the error handling code.
2973
(Robert Collins, #161240)
2974
2975
* Give a clearer message when a pull fails because the source needs
2976
to be reconciled.
2977
(Martin Pool, #164443)
2978
2979
* It is clearer when a plugin cannot be loaded because of its name, and a
2980
suggestion for an acceptable name is given. (Daniel Watkins, #103023)
2981
2982
* Leave port as None in transport objects if user doesn't
2983
specify a port in urls.
2984
(vincent Ladeuil, #150860)
2985
2986
* Make sure Repository.fetch(self) is properly a no-op for all
2987
Repository implementations. (John Arbash Meinel, #158333)
2988
2989
* Mark .bzr directories as "hidden" on Windows.
2990
(Alexander Belchenko, #71147)
2991
2992
* ``merge --uncommitted`` can now operate on a single file.
2993
(Aaron Bentley, Lukáš Lalinský, #136890)
2994
2995
* Obsolete packs are now cleaned up by pack and autopack operations.
2996
(Robert Collins, #153789)
2997
2998
* Operations pulling data from a smart server where the underlying
2999
repositories are not both annotated/both unannotated will now work.
3000
(Robert Collins, #165304).
3001
3002
* Reconcile now shows progress bars. (Robert Collins, #159351)
3003
3004
* ``RemoteBranch`` was not initializing ``self._revision_id_to_revno_map``
3005
properly. (John Arbash Meinel, #162486)
3006
3007
* Removing an already-removed file reports the file does not exist. (Daniel
3008
Watkins, #152811)
3009
3010
* Rename on Windows is able to change filename case.
3011
(Alexander Belchenko, #77740)
3012
3013
* Return error instead of a traceback for ``bzr log -r0``.
3014
(Kent Gibson, #133751)
3015
3016
* Return error instead of a traceback when bzr is unable to create
3017
symlink on some platforms (e.g. on Windows).
3018
(Alexander Belchenko, workaround for #81689)
3019
3020
* Revert doesn't crash when restoring a single file from a deleted
3021
directory. (Aaron Bentley)
3022
3023
* Stderr output via logging mechanism now goes through encoded wrapper
3024
and no more uses utf-8, but terminal encoding instead. So all unicode
3025
strings now should be readable in non-utf-8 terminal.
3026
(Alexander Belchenko, #54173)
3027
3028
* The error message when ``move --after`` should be used makes how to do so
3029
clearer. (Daniel Watkins, #85237)
3030
3031
* Unicode-safe output from ``bzr info``. The output will be encoded
3032
using the terminal encoding and unrepresentable characters will be
3033
replaced by '?'. (Lukáš Lalinský, #151844)
3034
3035
* Working trees are no longer created when pushing into a local no-trees
3036
repo. (Daniel Watkins, #50582)
3037
3038
* Upgrade util/configobj to version 4.4.0.
3039
(Vincent Ladeuil, #151208).
3040
3041
* Wrap medusa ftp test server as an FTPServer feature.
3042
(Vincent Ladeuil, #157752)
3043
3044
API BREAKS:
3045
3046
* ``osutils.backup_file`` is deprecated. Actually it's not used in bzrlib
3047
during very long time. (Alexander Belchenko)
3048
3049
* The return value of
3050
``VersionedFile.iter_lines_added_or_present_in_versions`` has been
3051
changed. Previously it was an iterator of lines, now it is an iterator of
3052
(line, version_id) tuples. This change has been made to aid reconcile and
3053
fetch operations. (Robert Collins)
3054
3055
* ``bzrlib.repository.get_versioned_file_checker`` is now private.
3056
(Robert Collins)
3057
3058
* The Repository format registry default has been removed; it was previously
3059
obsoleted by the bzrdir format default, which implies a default repository
3060
format.
3061
(Martin Pool)
3062
3063
INTERNALS:
3064
3065
* Added ``ContainerSerialiser`` and ``ContainerPushParser`` to
3066
``bzrlib.pack``. These classes provide more convenient APIs for generating
3067
and parsing containers from streams rather than from files. (Andrew
3068
Bennetts)
3069
3070
* New module ``lru_cache`` providing a cache for use by tasks that need
3071
semi-random access to large amounts of data. (John A Meinel)
3072
3073
* InventoryEntry.diff is now deprecated. Please use diff.DiffTree instead.

NOTES WHEN UPGRADING:
3090
3091
CHANGES:
3092
3093
* ``bzr`` now returns exit code 4 if an internal error occurred, and
3094
3 if a normal error occurred. (Martin Pool)
3095
3096
* ``pull``, ``merge`` and ``push`` will no longer silently correct some
3097
repository index errors that occured as a result of the Weave disk format.
3098
Instead the ``reconcile`` command needs to be run to correct those
3099
problems if they exist (and it has been able to fix most such problems
3100
since bzr 0.8). Some new problems have been identified during this release
3101
and you should run ``bzr check`` once on every repository to see if you
3102
need to reconcile. If you cannot ``pull`` or ``merge`` from a remote
3103
repository due to mismatched parent errors - a symptom of index errors -
3104
you should simply take a full copy of that remote repository to a clean
3105
directory outside any local repositories, then run reconcile on it, and
3106
finally pull from it locally. (And naturally email the repositories owner
3107
to ask them to upgrade and run reconcile).
3108
(Robert Collins)
3109
3110
FEATURES:
3111
3112
* New ``knitpack-experimental`` repository format. This is interoperable with
3113
the ``dirstate-tags`` format but uses a smarter storage design that greatly
3114
speeds up many operations, both local and remote. This new format can be
3115
used as an option to the ``init``, ``init-repository`` and ``upgrade``
3116
commands. See http://doc.bazaar-vcs.org/0.92/developers/knitpack.html
3117
for further details. (Robert Collins)
3118
3119
* For users of bzr-svn (and those testing the prototype subtree support) that
3120
wish to try packs, a new ``knitpack-subtree-experimental`` format has also
3121
been added. This is interoperable with the ``dirstate-subtrees`` format.
3122
(Robert Collins)
3123
3124
* New ``reconfigure`` command. (Aaron Bentley)
3125
3126
* New ``revert --forget-merges`` command, which removes the record of a pending
3127
merge without affecting the working tree contents. (Martin Pool)
3128
3129
* New ``bzr_remote_path`` configuration variable allows finer control of
3130
remote bzr locations than BZR_REMOTE_PATH environment variable.
3131
(Aaron Bentley)
3132
3133
* New ``launchpad-login`` command to tell Bazaar your Launchpad
3134
user ID. This can then be used by other functions of the
3135
Launchpad plugin. (James Henstridge)
3136
3137
PERFORMANCE:
3138
3139
* Commit in quiet mode is now slightly faster as the information to
3140
output is no longer calculated. (Ian Clatworthy)
3141
3142
* Commit no longer checks for new text keys during insertion when the
3143
revision id was deterministically unique. (Robert Collins)
3144
3145
* Committing a change which is not a merge and does not change the number of
3146
files in the tree is faster by utilising the data about whether files are
3147
changed to determine if the tree is unchanged rather than recalculating
3148
it at the end of the commit process. (Robert Collins)
3149
3150
* Inventory serialisation no longer double-sha's the content.
3151
(Robert Collins)
3152
3153
* Knit text reconstruction now avoids making copies of the lines list for
3154
interim texts when building a single text. The new ``apply_delta`` method
3155
on ``KnitContent`` aids this by allowing modification of the revision id
3156
such objects represent. (Robert Collins)
3157
3158
* Pack indices are now partially parsed for specific key lookup using a
3159
bisection approach. (Robert Collins)
3160
3161
* Partial commits are now approximately 40% faster by walking over the
3162
unselected current tree more efficiently. (Robert Collins)
3163
3164
* XML inventory serialisation takes 20% less time while being stricter about
3165
the contents. (Robert Collins)
3166
3167
* Graph ``heads()`` queries have been fixed to no longer access all history
3168
unnecessarily. (Robert Collins)
3169
3170
IMPROVEMENTS:
3171
3172
* ``bzr+https://`` smart server across https now supported.
3173
(John Ferlito, Martin Pool, #128456)
3174
3175
* Mutt is now a supported mail client; set ``mail_client=mutt`` in your
3176
bazaar.conf and ``send`` will use mutt. (Keir Mierle)
3177
3178
* New option ``-c``/``--change`` for ``merge`` command for cherrypicking
3179
changes from one revision. (Alexander Belchenko, #141368)
3180
3181
* Show encodings, locale and list of plugins in the traceback message.
3182
(Martin Pool, #63894)
3183
3184
* Experimental directory formats can now be marked with
3185
``experimental = True`` during registration. (Ian Clatworthy)
3186
3187
DOCUMENTATION:
3188
3189
* New *Bazaar in Five Minutes* guide. (Matthew Revell)
3190
3191
* The hooks reference documentation is now converted to html as expected.
3192
(Ian Clatworthy)
3193
3194
BUG FIXES:
3195
3196
* Connection error reporting for the smart server has been fixed to
3197
display a user friendly message instead of a traceback.
3198
(Ian Clatworthy, #115601)
3199
3200
* Make sure to use ``O_BINARY`` when opening files to check their
3201
sha1sum. (Alexander Belchenko, John Arbash Meinel, #153493)
3202
3203
* Fix a problem with Win32 handling of the executable bit.
3204
(John Arbash Meinel, #149113)
3205
3206
* ``bzr+ssh://`` and ``sftp://`` URLs that do not specify ports explicitly
3207
no longer assume that means port 22. This allows people using OpenSSH to
3208
override the default port in their ``~/.ssh/config`` if they wish. This
3209
fixes a bug introduced in bzr 0.91. (Andrew Bennetts, #146715)
3210
3211
* Commands reporting exceptions can now be profiled and still have their
3212
data correctly dumped to a file. For example, a ``bzr commit`` with
3213
no changes still reports the operation as pointless but doing so no
3214
longer throws away the profiling data if this command is run with
3215
``--lsprof-file callgrind.out.ci`` say. (Ian Clatworthy)
3216
3217
* Fallback to ftp when paramiko is not installed and sftp can't be used for
3218
``tests/commands`` so that the test suite is still usable without
3219
paramiko.
3220
(Vincent Ladeuil, #59150)
3221
3222
* Fix commit ordering in corner case. (Aaron Bentley, #94975)
3223
3224
* Fix long standing bug in partial commit when there are renames
3225
left in tree. (Robert Collins, #140419)
3226
3227
* Fix selftest semi-random noise during http related tests.
3228
(Vincent Ladeuil, #140614)
3229
3230
* Fix typo in ftp.py making the reconnection fail on temporary errors.
3231
(Vincent Ladeuil, #154259)
3232
3233
* Fix failing test by comparing real paths to cover the case where the TMPDIR
3234
contains a symbolic link.
3235
(Vincent Ladeuil, #141382).
3236
3237
* Fix log against smart server branches that don't support tags.
3238
(James Westby, #140615)
3239
3240
* Fix pycurl http implementation by defining error codes from
3241
pycurl instead of relying on an old curl definition.
3242
(Vincent Ladeuil, #147530)
3243
3244
* Fix 'unprintable error' message when displaying BzrCheckError and
3245
some other exceptions on Python 2.5.
3246
(Martin Pool, #144633)
3247
3248
* Fix ``Inventory.copy()`` and add test for it. (Jelmer Vernooij)
3249
3250
* Handles default value for ListOption in cmd_commit.
3251
(Vincent Ladeuil, #140432)
3252
3253
* HttpServer and FtpServer need to be closed properly or a listening socket
3254
will remain opened.
3255
(Vincent Ladeuil, #140055)
3256
3257
* Monitor the .bzr directory created in the top level test
3258
directory to detect leaking tests.
3259
(Vincent Ladeuil, #147986)
3260
3261
* The basename, not the full path, is now used when checking whether
3262
the profiling dump file begins with ``callgrind.out`` or not. This
3263
fixes a bug reported by Aaron Bentley on IRC. (Ian Clatworthy)
3264
3265
* Trivial fix for invoking command ``reconfigure`` without arguments.
3266
(Rob Weir, #141629)
3267
3268
* ``WorkingTree.rename_one`` will now raise an error if normalisation of the
3269
new path causes bzr to be unable to access the file. (Robert Collins)
3270
3271
* Correctly detect a NoSuchFile when using a filezilla server. (Gary van der
3272
Merwe)
3273
3274
API BREAKS:
3275
3276
* ``bzrlib.index.GraphIndex`` now requires a size parameter to the
3277
constructor, for enabling bisection searches. (Robert Collins)
3278
3279
* ``CommitBuilder.record_entry_contents`` now requires the root entry of a
3280
tree be supplied to it, previously failing to do so would trigger a
3281
deprecation warning. (Robert Collins)
3282
3283
* ``KnitVersionedFile.add*`` will no longer cache added records even when
3284
enable_cache() has been called - the caching feature is now exclusively for
3285
reading existing data. (Robert Collins)
3286
3287
* ``ReadOnlyLockError`` is deprecated; ``LockFailed`` is usually more
3288
appropriate. (Martin Pool)
3289
3290
* Removed ``bzrlib.transport.TransportLogger`` - please see the new
3291
``trace+`` transport instead. (Robert Collins)
3292
3293
* Removed previously deprecated varargs interface to ``TestCase.run_bzr`` and
3294
deprecated methods ``TestCase.capture`` and ``TestCase.run_bzr_captured``.
3295
(Martin Pool)
3296
3297
* Removed previous deprecated ``basis_knit`` parameter to the
3298
``KnitVersionedFile`` constructor. (Robert Collins)
3299
3300
* Special purpose method ``TestCase.run_bzr_decode`` is moved to the test_non_ascii
3301
class that needs it.
3302
(Martin Pool)
3303
3304
* The class ``bzrlib.repofmt.knitrepo.KnitRepository3`` has been folded into
3305
``KnitRepository`` by parameters to the constructor. (Robert Collins)
3306
3307
* The ``VersionedFile`` interface now allows content checks to be bypassed
3308
by supplying check_content=False. This saves nearly 30% of the minimum
3309
cost to store a version of a file. (Robert Collins)
3310
3311
* Tree's with bad state such as files with no length or sha will no longer
3312
be silently accepted by the repository XML serialiser. To serialise
3313
inventories without such data, pass working=True to write_inventory.
3314
(Robert Collins)
3315
3316
* ``VersionedFile.fix_parents`` has been removed as a harmful API.
3317
``VersionedFile.join`` will no longer accept different parents on either
3318
side of a join - it will either ignore them, or error, depending on the
3319
implementation. See notes when upgrading for more information.
3320
(Robert Collins)
3321
3322
INTERNALS:
3323
3324
* ``bzrlib.transport.Transport.put_file`` now returns the number of bytes
3325
put by the method call, to allow avoiding stat-after-write or
3326
housekeeping in callers. (Robert Collins)
3327
3328
* ``bzrlib.xml_serializer.Serializer`` is now responsible for checking that
3329
mandatory attributes are present on serialisation and deserialisation.
3330
This fixes some holes in API usage and allows better separation between
3331
physical storage and object serialisation. (Robert Collins)
3332
3333
* New class ``bzrlib.errors.InternalBzrError`` which is just a convenient
3334
shorthand for deriving from BzrError and setting internal_error = True.
3335
(Robert Collins)
3336
3337
* New method ``bzrlib.mutabletree.update_to_one_parent_via_delta`` for
3338
moving the state of a parent tree to a new version via a delta rather than
3339
a complete replacement tree. (Robert Collins)
3340
3341
* New method ``bzrlib.osutils.minimum_path_selection`` useful for removing
3342
duplication from user input, when a user mentions both a path and an item
3343
contained within that path. (Robert Collins)
3344
3345
* New method ``bzrlib.repository.Repository.is_write_locked`` useful for
3346
determining if a repository is write locked. (Robert Collins)
3347
3348
* New method on ``bzrlib.tree.Tree`` ``path_content_summary`` provides a
3349
tuple containing the key information about a path for commit processing
3350
to complete. (Robert Collins)
3351
3352
* New method on xml serialisers, write_inventory_to_lines, which matches the
3353
API used by knits for adding content. (Robert Collins)
3354
3355
* New module ``bzrlib.bisect_multi`` with generic multiple-bisection-at-once
3356
logic, currently only available for byte-based lookup
3357
(``bisect_multi_bytes``). (Robert Collins)
3358
3359
* New helper ``bzrlib.tuned_gzip.bytes_to_gzip`` which takes a byte string
3360
and returns a gzipped version of the same. This is used to avoid a bunch
3361
of api friction during adding of knit hunks. (Robert Collins)
3362
3363
* New parameter on ``bzrlib.transport.Transport.readv``
3364
``adjust_for_latency`` which changes readv from returning strictly the
3365
requested data to inserted return larger ranges and in forward read order
3366
to reduce the effect of network latency. (Robert Collins)
3367
3368
* New parameter yield_parents on ``Inventory.iter_entries_by_dir`` which
3369
causes the parents of a selected id to be returned recursively, so all the
3370
paths from the root down to each element of selected_file_ids are
3371
returned. (Robert Collins)
3372
3373
* Knit joining has been enhanced to support plain to annotated conversion
3374
and annotated to plain conversion. (Ian Clatworthy)
3375
3376
* The CommitBuilder method ``record_entry_contents`` now returns summary
3377
information about the effect of the commit on the repository. This tuple
3378
contains an inventory delta item if the entry changed from the basis, and a
3379
boolean indicating whether a new file graph node was recorded.
3380
(Robert Collins)
3381
3382
* The python path used in the Makefile can now be overridden.
3383
(Andrew Bennetts, Ian Clatworthy)
3384
3385
TESTING:
3386
3387
* New transport implementation ``trace+`` which is useful for testing,
3388
logging activity taken to its _activity attribute. (Robert Collins)
3389
3390
* When running bzr commands within the test suite, internal exceptions are
3391
not caught and reported in the usual way, but rather allowed to propagate
3392
up and be visible to the test suite. A new API ``run_bzr_catch_user_errors``
3393
makes this behavior available to other users.
3394
(Martin Pool)
3395
3396
* New method ``TestCase.call_catch_warnings`` for testing methods that
3397
raises a Python warning. (Martin Pool)

bzr 0.91 2007-09-26
3401
-------------------
3402
3403
BUG FIXES:
3404
3405
* Print a warning instead of aborting the ``python setup.py install``
3406
process if building of a C extension is not possible.
3407
(Lukáš Lalinský, Alexander Belchenko)
3408
3409
* Fix commit ordering in corner case (Aaron Bentley, #94975)
3410
3411
* Fix ''bzr info bzr://host/'' and other operations on ''bzr://' URLs with
3412
an implicit port. We were incorrectly raising PathNotChild due to
3413
inconsistent treatment of the ''_port'' attribute on the Transport object.
3414
(Andrew Bennetts, #133965)
3415
3416
* Make RemoteRepository.sprout cope gracefully with servers that don't
3417
support the ``Repository.tarball`` request.
3418
(Andrew Bennetts)

3420
3421
bzr 0.91rc2 2007-09-11
3422
----------------------
3423
3424
* Replaced incorrect tarball for previous release; a debug statement was left
3425
in bzrlib/remote.py.

3428
bzr 0.91rc1 2007-09-11
3429
----------------------
3430
3431
CHANGES:
3432
3433
* The default branch and repository format has changed to
3434
``dirstate-tags``, so tag commands are active by default.
3435
This format is compatible with Bazaar 0.15 and later.
3436
This incidentally fixes bug #126141.
3437
(Martin Pool)
3438
3439
* ``--quiet`` or ``-q`` is no longer a global option. If present, it
3440
must now appear after the command name. Scripts doing things like
3441
``bzr -q missing`` need to be rewritten as ``bzr missing -q``.
3442
(Ian Clatworthy)
3443
3444
FEATURES:
3445
3446
* New option ``--author`` in ``bzr commit`` to specify the author of the
3447
change, if it's different from the committer. ``bzr log`` and
3448
``bzr annotate`` display the author instead of the committer.
3449
(Lukáš Lalinský)
3450
3451
* In addition to global options and command specific options, a set of
3452
standard options are now supported. Standard options are legal for
3453
all commands. The initial set of standard options are:
3454
3455
* ``--help`` or ``-h`` - display help message
3456
* ``--verbose`` or ``-v`` - display additional information
3457
* ``--quiet`` or ``-q`` - only output warnings and errors.
3458
3459
Unlike global options, standard options can be used in aliases and
3460
may have command-specific help. (Ian Clatworthy)
3461
3462
* Verbosity level processing has now been unified. If ``--verbose``
3463
or ``-v`` is specified on the command line multiple times, the
3464
verbosity level is made positive the first time then increased.
3465
If ``--quiet`` or ``-q`` is specified on the command line
3466
multiple times, the verbosity level is made negative the first
3467
time then decreased. To get the default verbosity level of zero,
3468
either specify none of the above , ``--no-verbose`` or ``--no-quiet``.
3469
Note that most commands currently ignore the magnitude of the
3470
verbosity level but do respect *quiet vs normal vs verbose* when
3471
generating output. (Ian Clatworthy)
3472
3473
* ``Branch.hooks`` now supports ``pre_commit`` hook. The hook's signature
3474
is documented in BranchHooks constructor. (Nam T. Nguyen, #102747)
3475
3476
* New ``Repository.stream_knit_data_for_revisions`` request added to the
3477
network protocol for greatly reduced roundtrips when retrieving a set of
3478
revisions. (Andrew Bennetts)
3479
3480
BUG FIXES:
3481
3482
* ``bzr plugins`` now lists the version number for each plugin in square
3483
brackets after the path. (Robert Collins, #125421)
3484
3485
* Pushing, pulling and branching branches with subtree references was not
3486
copying the subtree weave, preventing the file graph from being accessed
3487
and causing errors in commits in clones. (Robert Collins)
3488
3489
* Suppress warning "integer argument expected, got float" from Paramiko,
3490
which sometimes caused false test failures. (Martin Pool)
3491
3492
* Fix bug in bundle 4 that could cause attempts to write data to wrong
3493
versionedfile. (Aaron Bentley)
3494
3495
* Diffs generated using "diff -p" no longer break the patch parser.
3496
(Aaron Bentley)
3497
3498
* get_transport treats an empty possible_transports list the same as a non-
3499
empty one. (Aaron Bentley)
3500
3501
* patch verification for merge directives is reactivated, and works with
3502
CRLF and CR files. (Aaron Bentley)
3503
3504
* Accept ..\ as a path in revision specifiers. This fixes for example
3505
"-r branch:..\other-branch" on Windows. (Lukáš Lalinský)
3506
3507
* ``BZR_PLUGIN_PATH`` may now contain trailing slashes.
3508
(Blake Winton, #129299)
3509
3510
* man page no longer lists hidden options (#131667, Aaron Bentley)
3511
3512
* ``uncommit --help`` now explains the -r option adequately. (Daniel
3513
Watkins, #106726)
3514
3515
* Error messages are now better formatted with parameters (such as
3516
filenames) quoted when necessary. This avoids confusion when directory
3517
names ending in a '.' at the end of messages were confused with a
3518
full stop that may or not have been there. (Daniel Watkins, #129791)
3519
3520
* Fix ``status FILE -r X..Y``. (Lukáš Lalinský)
3521
3522
* If a particular command is an alias, ``help`` will show the alias
3523
instead of claiming there is no help for said alias. (Daniel Watkins,
3524
#133548)
3525
3526
* TreeTransform-based operations, like pull, merge, revert, and branch,
3527
now roll back if they encounter an error. (Aaron Bentley, #67699)
3528
3529
* ``bzr commit`` now exits cleanly if a character unsupported by the
3530
current encoding is used in the commit message. (Daniel Watkins,
3531
#116143)
3532
3533
* bzr send uses default values for ranges when only half of an elipsis
3534
is specified ("-r..5" or "-r5.."). (#61685, Aaron Bentley)
3535
3536
* Avoid trouble when Windows ssh calls itself 'plink' but no plink
3537
binary is present. (Martin Albisetti, #107155)
3538
3539
* ``bzr remove`` should remove clean subtrees. Now it will remove (without
3540
needing ``--force``) subtrees that contain no files with text changes or
3541
modified files. With ``--force`` it removes the subtree regardless of
3542
text changes or unknown files. Directories with renames in or out (but
3543
not changed otherwise) will now be removed without needing ``--force``.
3544
Unknown ignored files will be deleted without needing ``--force``.
3545
(Marius Kruger, #111665)
3546
3547
* When two plugins conflict, the source of both the losing and now the
3548
winning definition is shown. (Konstantin Mikhaylov, #5454)
3549
3550
* When committing to a branch, the location being committed to is
3551
displayed. (Daniel Watkins, #52479)
3552
3553
* ``bzr --version`` takes care about encoding of stdout, especially
3554
when output is redirected. (Alexander Belchenko, #131100)
3555
3556
* Prompt for an ftp password if none is provided.
3557
(Vincent Ladeuil, #137044)
3558
3559
* Reuse bound branch associated transport to avoid multiple
3560
connections.
3561
(Vincent Ladeuil, #128076, #131396)
3562
3563
* Overwrite conflicting tags by ``push`` and ``pull`` if the
3564
``--overwrite`` option is specified. (Lukáš Lalinský, #93947)
3565
3566
* In checkouts, tags are copied into the master branch when created,
3567
changed or deleted, and are copied into the checkout when it is
3568
updated. (Martin Pool, #93856, #93860)
3569
3570
* Print a warning instead of aborting the ``python setup.py install``
3571
process if building of a C extension is not possible.
3572
(Lukáš Lalinský, Alexander Belchenko)
3573
3574
IMPROVEMENTS:
3575
3576
* Add the option "--show-diff" to the commit command in order to display
3577
the diff during the commit log creation. (Goffredo Baroncelli)
3578
3579
* ``pull`` and ``merge`` are much faster at installing bundle format 4.
3580
(Aaron Bentley)
3581
3582
* ``pull -v`` no longer includes deltas, making it much faster.
3583
(Aaron Bentley)
3584
3585
* ``send`` now sends the directive as an attachment by default.
3586
(Aaron Bentley, Lukáš Lalinský, Alexander Belchenko)
3587
3588
* Documentation updates (Martin Albisetti)
3589
3590
* Help on debug flags is now included in ``help global-options``.
3591
(Daniel Watkins, #124853)
3592
3593
* Parameters passed on the command line are checked to ensure they are
3594
supported by the encoding in use. (Daniel Watkins)
3595
3596
* The compression used within the bzr repository has changed from zlib
3597
level 9 to the zlib default level. This improves commit performance with
3598
only a small increase in space used (and in some cases a reduction in
3599
space). (Robert Collins)
3600
3601
* Initial commit no longer SHAs files twice and now reuses the path
3602
rather than looking it up again, making it faster.
3603
(Ian Clatworthy)
3604
3605
* New option ``-c``/``--change`` for ``diff`` and ``status`` to show
3606
changes in one revision. (Lukáš Lalinský)
3607
3608
* If versioned files match a given ignore pattern, a warning is now
3609
given. (Daniel Watkins, #48623)
3610
3611
* ``bzr status`` now has -S as a short name for --short and -V as a
3612
short name for --versioned. These have been added to assist users
3613
migrating from Subversion: ``bzr status -SV`` is now like
3614
``svn status -q``. (Daniel Watkins, #115990)
3615
3616
* Added C implementation of ``PatienceSequenceMatcher``, which is about
3617
10x faster than the Python version. This speeds up commands that
3618
need file diffing, such as ``bzr commit`` or ``bzr diff``.
3619
(Lukáš Lalinský)
3620
3621
* HACKING has been extended with a large section on core developer tasks.
3622
(Ian Clatworthy)
3623
3624
* Add ``branches`` and ``standalone-trees`` as online help topics and
3625
include them as Concepts within the User Reference.
3626
(Paul Moore, Ian Clatworthy)
3627
3628
* ``check`` can detect versionedfile parent references that are
3629
inconsistent with revision and inventory info, and ``reconcile`` can fix
3630
them. These faulty references were generated by 0.8-era releases,
3631
so repositories which were manipulated by old bzrs should be
3632
checked, and possibly reconciled ASAP. (Aaron Bentley, Andrew Bennetts)
3633
3634
API BREAKS:
3635
3636
* ``Branch.append_revision`` is removed altogether; please use
3637
``Branch.set_last_revision_info`` instead. (Martin Pool)
3638
3639
* CommitBuilder now advertises itself as requiring the root entry to be
3640
supplied. This only affects foreign repository implementations which reuse
3641
CommitBuilder directly and have changed record_entry_contents to require
3642
that the root not be supplied. This should be precisely zero plugins
3643
affected. (Robert Collins)
3644
3645
* The ``add_lines`` methods on ``VersionedFile`` implementations has changed
3646
its return value to include the sha1 and length of the inserted text. This
3647
allows the avoidance of double-sha1 calculations during commit.
3648
(Robert Collins)
3649
3650
* ``Transport.should_cache`` has been removed. It was not called in the
3651
previous release. (Martin Pool)
3652
3653
TESTING:
3654
3655
* Tests may now raise TestNotApplicable to indicate they shouldn't be
3656
run in a particular scenario. (Martin Pool)
3657
3658
* New function multiply_tests_from_modules to give a simpler interface
3659
to test parameterization. (Martin Pool, Robert Collins)
3660
3661
* ``Transport.should_cache`` has been removed. It was not called in the
3662
previous release. (Martin Pool)
3663
3664
* NULL_REVISION is returned to indicate the null revision, not None.
3665
(Aaron Bentley)
3666
3667
* Use UTF-8 encoded StringIO for log tests to avoid failures on
3668
non-ASCII committer names. (Lukáš Lalinský)
3669
3670
INTERNALS:
3671
3672
* ``bzrlib.plugin.all_plugins`` has been deprecated in favour of
3673
``bzrlib.plugin.plugins()`` which returns PlugIn objects that provide
3674
useful functionality for determining the path of a plugin, its tests, and
3675
its version information. (Robert Collins)
3676
3677
* Add the option user_encoding to the function 'show_diff_trees()'
3678
in order to move the user encoding at the UI level. (Goffredo Baroncelli)
3679
3680
* Add the function make_commit_message_template_encoded() and the function
3681
edit_commit_message_encoded() which handle encoded strings.
3682
This is done in order to mix the commit messages (which is a unicode
3683
string), and the diff which is a raw string. (Goffredo Baroncelli)
3684
3685
* CommitBuilder now defaults to using add_lines_with_ghosts, reducing
3686
overhead on non-weave repositories which don't require all parents to be
3687
present. (Robert Collins)
3688
3689
* Deprecated method ``find_previous_heads`` on
3690
``bzrlib.inventory.InventoryEntry``. This has been superseded by the use
3691
of ``parent_candidates`` and a separate heads check via the repository
3692
API. (Robert Collins)
3693
3694
* New trace function ``mutter_callsite`` will print out a subset of the
3695
stack to the log, which can be useful for gathering debug details.
3696
(Robert Collins)
3697
3698
* ``bzrlib.pack.ContainerWriter`` now tracks how many records have been
3699
added via a public attribute records_written. (Robert Collins)
3700
3701
* New method ``bzrlib.transport.Transport.get_recommended_page_size``.
3702
This provides a hint to users of transports as to the reasonable
3703
minimum data to read. In principle this can take latency and
3704
bandwidth into account on a per-connection basis, but for now it
3705
just has hard coded values based on the url. (e.g. http:// has a large
3706
page size, file:// has a small one.) (Robert Collins)
3707
3708
* New method on ``bzrlib.transport.Transport`` ``open_write_stream`` allows
3709
incremental addition of data to a file without requiring that all the
3710
data be buffered in memory. (Robert Collins)
3711
3712
* New methods on ``bzrlib.knit.KnitVersionedFile``:
3713
``get_data_stream(versions)``, ``insert_data_stream(stream)`` and
3714
``get_format_signature()``. These provide some infrastructure for
3715
efficiently streaming the knit data for a set of versions over the smart
3716
protocol.
3717
3718
* Knits with no annotation cache still produce correct annotations.
3719
(Aaron Bentley)
3720
3721
* Three new methods have been added to ``bzrlib.trace``:
3722
``set_verbosity_level``, ``get_verbosity_level`` and ``is_verbose``.
3723
``set_verbosity_level`` expects a numeric value: negative for quiet,
3724
zero for normal, positive for verbose. The size of the number can be
3725
used to determine just how quiet or verbose the application should be.
3726
The existing ``be_quiet`` and ``is_quiet`` routines have been
3727
integrated into this new scheme. (Ian Clatworthy)
3728
3729
* Options can now be delcared with a ``custom_callback`` parameter. If
3730
set, this routine is called after the option is processed. This feature
3731
is now used by the standard options ``verbose`` and ``quiet`` so that
3732
setting one implicitly resets the other. (Ian Clatworthy)
3733
3734
* Rather than declaring a new option from scratch in order to provide
3735
custom help, a centrally registered option can be decorated using the
3736
new ``bzrlib.Option.custom_help`` routine. In particular, this routine
3737
is useful when declaring better help for the ``verbose`` and ``quiet``
3738
standard options as the base definition of these is now more complex
3739
than before thanks to their use of a custom callback. (Ian Clatworthy)
3740
3741
* Tree._iter_changes(specific_file=[]) now iterates through no files,
3742
instead of iterating through all files. None is used to iterate through
3743
all files. (Aaron Bentley)
3744
3745
* WorkingTree.revert() now accepts None to revert all files. The use of
3746
[] to revert all files is deprecated. (Aaron Bentley)

3750
-------------------
3751
3752
IMPROVEMENTS:
3753
3754
* Documentation is now organized into multiple directories with a level
3755
added for different languages or locales. Added the Mini Tutorial
3756
and Quick Start Summary (en) documents from the Wiki, improving the
3757
content and readability of the former. Formatted NEWS as Release Notes
3758
complete with a Table of Conents, one heading per release. Moved the
3759
Developer Guide into the main document catalog and provided a link
3760
from the developer document catalog back to the main one.
3761
(Ian Clatworthy, Sabin Iacob, Alexander Belchenko)
3762
3763
3764
API CHANGES:
3765
3766
* The static convenience method ``BzrDir.create_repository``
3767
is deprecated. Callers should instead create a ``BzrDir`` instance
3768
and call ``create_repository`` on that. (Martin Pool)
3769
3770
3771
bzr 0.90rc1 2007-08-14
3772
----------------------
3773
3774
BUGFIXES:
3775
3776
* ``bzr init`` should connect to the remote location one time only. We
3777
have been connecting several times because we forget to pass around the
3778
Transport object. This modifies ``BzrDir.create_branch_convenience``,
3779
so that we can give it the Transport we already have.
3780
(John Arbash Meinel, Vincent Ladeuil, #111702)
3781
3782
* Get rid of sftp connection cache (get rid of the FTP one too).
3783
(Vincent Ladeuil, #43731)
3784
3785
* bzr branch {local|remote} remote don't try to create a working tree
3786
anymore.
3787
(Vincent Ladeuil, #112173)
3788
3789
* All identified multiple connections for a single bzr command have been
3790
fixed. See bzrlib/tests/commands directory.
3791
(Vincent Ladeuil)
3792
3793
* ``bzr rm`` now does not insist on ``--force`` to delete files that
3794
have been renamed but not otherwise modified. (Marius Kruger,
3795
#111664)
3796
3797
* ``bzr selftest --bench`` no longer emits deprecation warnings
3798
(Lukáš Lalinský)
3799
3800
* ``bzr status`` now honours FILE parameters for conflict lists
3801
(Aaron Bentley, #127606)
3802
3803
* ``bzr checkout`` now honours -r when reconstituting a working tree.
3804
It also honours -r 0. (Aaron Bentley, #127708)
3805
3806
* ``bzr add *`` no more fails on Windows if working tree contains
3807
non-ascii file names. (Kuno Meyer, #127361)
3808
3809
* allow ``easy_install bzr`` runs without fatal errors.
3810
(Alexander Belchenko, #125521)
3811
3812
* Graph._filter_candidate_lca does not raise KeyError if a candidate
3813
is eliminated just before it would normally be examined. (Aaron Bentley)
3814
3815
* SMTP connection failures produce a nice message, not a traceback.
3816
(Aaron Bentley)
3817
3818
IMPROVEMENTS:
3819
3820
* Don't show "dots" progress indicators when run non-interactively, such
3821
as from cron. (Martin Pool)
3822
3823
* ``info`` now formats locations more nicely and lists "submit" and
3824
"public" branches (Aaron Bentley)
3825
3826
* New ``pack`` command that will trigger database compression within
3827
the repository (Robert Collins)
3828
3829
* Implement ``_KnitIndex._load_data`` in a pyrex extension. The pyrex
3830
version is approximately 2-3x faster at parsing a ``.kndx`` file.
3831
Which yields a measurable improvement for commands which have to
3832
read from the repository, such as a 1s => 0.75s improvement in
3833
``bzr diff`` when there are changes to be shown. (John Arbash Meinel)
3834
3835
* Merge is now faster. Depending on the scenario, it can be more than 2x
3836
faster. (Aaron Bentley)
3837
3838
* Give a clearer warning, and allow ``python setup.py install`` to
3839
succeed even if pyrex is not available.
3840
(John Arbash Meinel)
3841
3842
* ``DirState._read_dirblocks`` now has an optional Pyrex
3843
implementation. This improves the speed of any command that has to
3844
read the entire DirState. (``diff``, ``status``, etc, improve by
3845
about 10%).
3846
``bisect_dirblocks`` has also been improved, which helps all
3847
``_get_entry`` type calls (whenever we are searching for a
3848
particular entry in the in-memory DirState).
3849
(John Arbash Meinel)
3850
3851
* ``bzr pull`` and ``bzr push`` no longer do a complete walk of the
3852
branch revision history for ui display unless -v is supplied.
3853
(Robert Collins)
3854
3855
* ``bzr log -rA..B`` output shifted to the left margin if the log only
3856
contains merge revisions. (Kent Gibson)
3857
3858
* The ``plugins`` command is now public with improved help.
3859
(Ian Clatworthy)
3860
3861
* New bundle and merge directive formats are faster to generate, and
3862
3863
* Annotate merge now works when there are local changes. (Aaron Bentley)
3864
3865
* Commit now only shows the progress in terms of directories instead of
3866
entries. (Ian Clatworthy)
3867
3868
* Fix ``KnitRepository.get_revision_graph`` to not request the graph 2
3869
times. This makes ``get_revision_graph`` 2x faster. (John Arbash
3870
Meinel)
3871
3872
* Fix ``VersionedFile.get_graph()`` to avoid using
3873
``set.difference_update(other)``, which has bad scaling when
3874
``other`` is large. This improves ``VF.get_graph([version_id])`` for
3875
a 12.5k graph from 2.9s down to 200ms. (John Arbash Meinel)
3876
3877
* The ``--lsprof-file`` option now generates output for KCacheGrind if
3878
the file starts with ``callgrind.out``. This matches the default file
3879
filtering done by KCacheGrind's Open Dialog. (Ian Clatworthy)
3880
3881
* Fix ``bzr update`` to avoid an unnecessary
3882
``branch.get_master_branch`` call, which avoids 1 extra connection
3883
to the remote server. (Partial fix for #128076, John Arbash Meinel)
3884
3885
* Log errors from the smart server in the trace file, to make debugging
3886
test failures (and live failures!) easier. (Andrew Bennetts)
3887
3888
* The HTML version of the man page has been superceded by a more
3889
comprehensive manual called the Bazaar User Reference. This manual
3890
is completed generated from the online help topics. As part of this
3891
change, limited reStructuredText is now explicitly supported in help
3892
topics and command help with 'unnatural' markup being removed prior
3893
to display by the online help or inclusion in the man page.
3894
(Ian Clatworthy)
3895
3896
* HTML documentation now use files extension ``*.html``
3897
(Alexander Belchenko)
3898
3899
* The cache of ignore definitions is now cleared in WorkingTree.unlock()
3900
so that changes to .bzrignore aren't missed. (#129694, Daniel Watkins)
3901
3902
* ``bzr selftest --strict`` fails if there are any missing features or
3903
expected test failures. (Daniel Watkins, #111914)
3904
3905
* Link to registration survey added to README. (Ian Clatworthy)
3906
3907
* Windows standalone installer show link to registration survey
3908
when installation finished. (Alexander Belchenko)
3909
3910
LIBRARY API BREAKS:
3911
3912
* Deprecated dictionary ``bzrlib.option.SHORT_OPTIONS`` removed.
3913
Options are now required to provide a help string and it must
3914
comply with the style guide by being one or more sentences with an
3915
initial capital and final period. (Martin Pool)
3916
3917
* KnitIndex.get_parents now returns tuples. (Robert Collins)
3918
3919
* Ancient unused ``Repository.text_store`` attribute has been removed.
3920
(Robert Collins)
3921
3922
* The ``bzrlib.pack`` interface has changed to use tuples of bytestrings
3923
rather than just bytestrings, making it easier to represent multiple
3924
element names. As this interface was not used by any internal facilities
3925
since it was introduced in 0.18 no API compatibility is being preserved.
3926
The serialised form of these packs is identical with 0.18 when a single
3927
element tuple is in use. (Robert Collins)
3928
3929
INTERNALS:
3930
3931
* merge now uses ``iter_changes`` to calculate changes, which makes room for
3932
future performance increases. It is also more consistent with other
3933
operations that perform comparisons, and reduces reliance on
3934
Tree.inventory. (Aaron Bentley)
3935
3936
* Refactoring of transport classes connected to a remote server.
3937
ConnectedTransport is a new class that serves as a basis for all
3938
transports needing to connect to a remote server. transport.split_url
3939
have been deprecated, use the static method on the object instead. URL
3940
tests have been refactored too.
3941
(Vincent Ladeuil)
3942
3943
* Better connection sharing for ConnectedTransport objects.
3944
transport.get_transport() now accepts a 'possible_transports' parameter.
3945
If a newly requested transport can share a connection with one of the
3946
list, it will.
3947
(Vincent Ladeuil)
3948
3949
* Most functions now accept ``bzrlib.revision.NULL_REVISION`` to indicate
3950
the null revision, and consider using ``None`` for this purpose
3951
deprecated. (Aaron Bentley)
3952
3953
* New ``index`` module with abstract index functionality. This will be
3954
used during the planned changes in the repository layer. Currently the
3955
index layer provides a graph aware immutable index, a builder for the
3956
same index type to allow creating them, and finally a composer for
3957
such indices to allow the use of many indices in a single query. The
3958
index performance is not optimised, however the API is stable to allow
3959
development on top of the index. (Robert Collins)
3960
3961
* ``bzrlib.dirstate.cmp_by_dirs`` can be used to compare two paths by
3962
their directory sections. This is equivalent to comparing
3963
``path.split('/')``, only without having to split the paths.
3964
This has a Pyrex implementation available.
3965
(John Arbash Meinel)
3966
3967
* New transport decorator 'unlistable+' which disables the list_dir
3968
functionality for testing.
3969
3970
* Deprecated ``change_entry`` in transform.py. (Ian Clatworthy)
3971
3972
* RevisionTree.get_weave is now deprecated. Tree.plan_merge is now used
3973
for performing annotate-merge. (Aaron Bentley)
3974
3975
* New EmailMessage class to create email messages. (Adeodato Simó)
3976
3977
* Unused functions on the private interface KnitIndex have been removed.
3978
(Robert Collins)
3979
3980
* New ``knit.KnitGraphIndex`` which provides a ``KnitIndex`` layered on top
3981
of a ``index.GraphIndex``. (Robert Collins)
3982
3983
* New ``knit.KnitVersionedFile.iter_parents`` method that allows querying
3984
the parents of many knit nodes at once, reducing round trips to the
3985
underlying index. (Robert Collins)
3986
3987
* Graph now has an is_ancestor method, various bits use it.
3988
(Aaron Bentley)
3989
3990
* The ``-Dhpss`` flag now includes timing information. As well as
3991
logging when a new connection is opened. (John Arbash Meinel)
3992
3993
* ``bzrlib.pack.ContainerWriter`` now returns an offset, length tuple to
3994
callers when inserting data, allowing generation of readv style access
3995
during pack creation, without needing a separate pass across the output
3996
pack to gather such details. (Robert Collins)
3997
3998
* ``bzrlib.pack.make_readv_reader`` allows readv based access to pack
3999
files that are stored on a transport. (Robert Collins)
4000
4001
* New ``Repository.has_same_location`` method that reports if two
4002
repository objects refer to the same repository (although with some risk
4003
of false negatives). (Andrew Bennetts)
4004
4005
* InterTree.compare now passes require_versioned on correctly.
4006
(Marius Kruger)
4007
4008
* New methods on Repository - ``start_write_group``,
4009
``commit_write_group``, ``abort_write_group`` and ``is_in_write_group`` -
4010
which provide a clean hook point for transactional Repositories - ones
4011
where all the data for a fetch or commit needs to be made atomically
4012
available in one step. This allows the write lock to remain while making
4013
a series of data insertions. (e.g. data conversion). (Robert Collins)
4014
4015
* In ``bzrlib.knit`` the internal interface has been altered to use
4016
3-tuples (index, pos, length) rather than two-tuples (pos, length) to
4017
describe where data in a knit is, allowing knits to be split into
4018
many files. (Robert Collins)
4019
4020
* ``bzrlib.knit._KnitData`` split into cache management and physical access
4021
with two access classes - ``_PackAccess`` and ``_KnitAccess`` defined.
4022
The former provides access into a .pack file, and the latter provides the
4023
current production repository form of .knit files. (Robert Collins)
4024
4025
TESTING:
4026
4027
* Remove selftest ``--clean-output``, ``--numbered-dirs`` and
4028
``--keep-output`` options, which are obsolete now that tests
4029
are done within directories in $TMPDIR. (Martin Pool)
4030
4031
* The SSH_AUTH_SOCK environment variable is now reset to avoid
4032
interaction with any running ssh agents. (Jelmer Vernooij, #125955)
4033
4034
* run_bzr_subprocess handles parameters the same way as run_bzr:
4035
either a string or a list of strings should be passed as the first
4036
parameter. Varargs-style parameters are deprecated. (Aaron Bentley)

BUGFIXES:
4051
4052
* Do not suppress pipe errors, etc. in non-display commands
4053
(Alexander Belchenko, #87178)
4054
4055
* Display a useful error message when the user requests to annotate
4056
a file that is not present in the specified revision.
4057
(James Westby, #122656)
4058
4059
* Commands that use status flags now have a reference to 'help
4060
status-flags'. (Daniel Watkins, #113436)
4061
4062
* Work around python-2.4.1 inhability to correctly parse the
4063
authentication header.
4064
(Vincent Ladeuil, #121889)
4065
4066
* Use exact encoding for merge directives. (Adeodato Simó, #120591)
4067
4068
* Fix tempfile permissions error in smart server tar bundling under
4069
Windows. (Martin _, #119330)
4070
4071
* Fix detection of directory entries in the inventory. (James Westby)
4072
4073
* Fix handling of http code 400: Bad Request When issuing too many ranges.
4074
(Vincent Ladeuil, #115209)
4075
4076
* Issue a CONNECT request when connecting to an https server
4077
via a proxy to enable SSL tunneling.
4078
(Vincent Ladeuil, #120678)
4079
4080
* Fix ``bzr log -r`` to support selecting merge revisions, both
4081
individually and as part of revision ranges.
4082
(Kent Gibson, #4663)
4083
4084
* Don't leave cruft behind when failing to acquire a lockdir.
4085
(Martin Pool, #109169)
4086
4087
* Don't use the '-f' strace option during tests.
4088
(Vincent Ladeuil, #102019).
4089
4090
* Warn when setting ``push_location`` to a value that will be masked by
4091
locations.conf. (Aaron Bentley, #122286)
4092
4093
* Fix commit ordering in corner case (Aaron Bentley, #94975)
4094
4095
* Make annotate behave in a non-ASCII world (Adeodato Simó).
4096
4097
IMPROVEMENTS:
4098
4099
* The --lsprof-file option now dumps a text rendering of the profiling
4100
information if the filename ends in ".txt". It will also convert the
4101
profiling information to a format suitable for KCacheGrind if the
4102
output filename ends in ".callgrind". Fixes to the lsprofcalltree
4103
conversion process by Jean Paul Calderone and Itamar were also merged.
4104
See http://ddaa.net/blog/python/lsprof-calltree. (Ian Clatworthy)
4105
4106
* ``info`` now defaults to non-verbose mode, displaying only paths and
4107
abbreviated format info. ``info -v`` displays all the information
4108
formerly displayed by ``info``. (Aaron Bentley, Adeodato Simó)
4109
4110
* ``bzr missing`` now has better option names ``--this`` and ``--other``.
4111
(Elliot Murphy)
4112
4113
* The internal ``weave-list`` command has become ``versionedfile-list``,
4114
and now lists knits as well as weaves. (Aaron Bentley)
4115
4116
* Automatic merge base selection uses a faster algorithm that chooses
4117
better bases in criss-cross merge situations (Aaron Bentley)
4118
4119
* Progress reporting in ``commit`` has been improved. The various logical
4120
stages are now reported on as follows, namely:
4121
4122
* Collecting changes [Entry x/y] - Stage n/m
4123
* Saving data locally - Stage n/m
4124
* Uploading data to master branch - Stage n/m
4125
* Updating the working tree - Stage n/m
4126
* Running post commit hooks - Stage n/m
4127
4128
If there is no master branch, the 3rd stage is omitted and the total
4129
number of stages is adjusted accordingly.
4130
4131
Each hook that is run after commit is listed with a name (as hooks
4132
can be slow it is useful feedback).
4133
(Ian Clatworthy, Robert Collins)
4134
4135
* Various operations that are now faster due to avoiding unnecessary
4136
topological sorts. (Aaron Bentley)
4137
4138
* Make merge directives robust against broken bundles. (Aaron Bentley)
4139
4140
* The lsprof filename note is emitted via trace.note(), not standard
4141
output. (Aaron Bentley)
4142
4143
* ``bzrlib`` now exports explicit API compatibility information to assist
4144
library users and plugins. See the ``bzrlib.api`` module for details.
4145
(Robert Collins)
4146
4147
* Remove unnecessary lock probes when acquiring a lockdir.
4148
(Martin Pool)
4149
4150
* ``bzr --version`` now shows the location of the bzr log file, which
4151
is especially useful on Windows. (Martin Pool)
4152
4153
* -D now supports hooks to get debug tracing of hooks (though its currently
4154
minimal in nature). (Robert Collins)
4155
4156
* Long log format reports deltas on merge revisions.
4157
(John Arbash Meinel, Kent Gibson)
4158
4159
* Make initial push over ftp more resilient. (John Arbash Meinel)
4160
4161
* Print a summary of changes for update just like pull does.
4162
(Daniel Watkins, #113990)
4163
4164
* Add a -Dhpss option to trace smart protocol requests and responses.

(Robert Collins)
4188
4189
* Relocate TestCaseWithRepository to be more central. (Robert Collins)
4190
4191
* ``bzrlib.add.smart_add_tree`` will no longer perform glob expansion on
4192
win32. Callers of the function should do this and use the new
4193
``MutableTree.smart_add`` method instead. (Robert Collins)
4194
4195
* ``bzrlib.add.glob_expand_for_win32`` is now
4196
``bzrlib.win32utils.glob_expand``. (Robert Collins)
4197
4198
* ``bzrlib.add.FastPath`` is now private and moved to
4199
``bzrlib.mutabletree._FastPath``. (Robert Collins, Martin Pool)
4200
4201
* ``LockDir.wait`` removed. (Martin Pool)
4202
4203
* The ``SmartServer`` hooks API has changed for the ``server_started`` and
4204
``server_stopped`` hooks. The first parameter is now an iterable of
4205
backing URLs rather than a single URL. This is to reflect that many
4206
URLs may map to the external URL of the server. E.g. the server interally
4207
may have a chrooted URL but also the local file:// URL will be at the
4208
same location. (Robert Collins)
4209
4210
INTERNALS:
4211
4212
* New SMTPConnection class to unify email handling. (Adeodato Simó)
4213
4214
* Fix documentation of BzrError. (Adeodato Simó)
4215
4216
* Make BzrBadParameter an internal error. (Adeodato Simó)
4217
4218
* Remove use of 'assert False' to raise an exception unconditionally.
4219
(Martin Pool)
4220
4221
* Give a cleaner error when failing to decode knit index entry.
4222
(Martin Pool)
4223
4224
* TreeConfig would mistakenly search the top level when asked for options
4225
from a section. It now respects the section argument and only
4226
searches the specified section. (James Westby)
4227
4228
* Improve ``make api-docs`` output. (John Arbash Meinel)
4229
4230
* Use os.lstat rather than os.stat for osutils.make_readonly and
4231
osutils.make_writeable. This makes the difftools plugin more
4232
robust when dangling symlinks are found. (Elliot Murphy)
4233
4234
* New ``-Dlock`` option to log (to ~/.bzr.log) information on when
4235
lockdirs are taken or released. (Martin Pool)
4236
4237
* ``bzrlib`` Hooks are now nameable using ``Hooks.name_hook``. This
4238
allows a nicer UI when hooks are running as the current hook can
4239
be displayed. (Robert Collins)
4240
4241
* ``Transport.get`` has had its interface made more clear for ease of use.
4242
Retrieval of a directory must now fail with either 'PathError' at open
4243
time, or raise 'ReadError' on a read. (Robert Collins)
4244
4245
* New method ``_maybe_expand_globs`` on the ``Command`` class for
4246
dealing with unexpanded glob lists - e.g. on the win32 platform. This
4247
was moved from ``bzrlib.add._prepare_file_list``. (Robert Collins)
4248
4249
* ``bzrlib.add.smart_add`` and ``bzrlib.add.smart_add_tree`` are now
4250
deprecated in favour of ``MutableTree.smart_add``. (Robert Collins,
4251
Martin Pool)
4252
4253
* New method ``external_url`` on Transport for obtaining the url to
4254
hand to external processes. (Robert Collins)
4255
4256
* Teach windows installers to build pyrex/C extensions.
4257
(Alexander Belchenko)
4258
4259
TESTING:
4260
4261
* Removed the ``--keep-output`` option from selftest and clean up test
4262
directories as they're used. This reduces the IO load from
4263
running the test suite and cuts the time by about half.
4264
(Andrew Bennetts, Martin Pool)
4265
4266
* Add scenarios as a public attribute on the TestAdapter classes to allow
4267
modification of the generated scenarios before adaption and easier
4268
testing. (Robert Collins)
4269
4270
* New testing support class ``TestScenarioApplier`` which multiplies
4271
out a single teste by a list of supplied scenarios. (RobertCollins)
4272
4273
* Setting ``repository_to_test_repository`` on a repository_implementations
4274
test will cause it to be called during repository creation, allowing the
4275
testing of repository classes which are not based around the Format
4276
concept. For example a repository adapter can be tested in this manner,
4277
by altering the repository scenarios to include a scenario that sets this
4278
attribute during the test parameterisation in
4279
``bzrlib.tests.repository.repository_implementations``. (Robert Collins)
4280
4281
* Clean up many of the APIs for blackbox testing of Bazaar. The standard
4282
interface is now self.run_bzr. The command to run can be passed as
4283
either a list of parameters, a string containing the command line, or
4284
(deprecated) varargs parameters. (Martin Pool)
4285
4286
* The base TestCase now isolates tests from -D parameters by clearing
4287
``debug.debug_flags`` and restores it afterwards. (Robert Collins)
4288
4289
* Add a relpath parameter to get_transport methods in test framework to
4290
avoid useless cloning.

NOTES WHEN UPGRADING:
4310
4311
* The kind() and is_executable() APIs on the WorkingTree interface no
4312
longer implicitly (read) locks and unlocks the tree. This *might*
4313
impact some plug-ins and tools using this part of the API. If you find
4314
an issue that may be caused by this change, please let us know,
4315
particularly the plug-in/tool maintainer. If encountered, the API
4316
fix is to surround kind() and is_executable() calls with lock_read()
4317
and unlock() like so::
4318
4319
work_tree.lock_read()
4320
try:
4321
kind = work_tree.kind(...)
4322
finally:
4323
work_tree.unlock()
4324
4325
INTERNALS:
4326
* Rework of LogFormatter API to provide beginning/end of log hooks and to
4327
encapsulate the details of the revision to be logged in a LogRevision
4328
object.
4329
In long log formats, merge revision ids are only shown when --show-ids
4330
is specified, and are labelled "revision-id:", as per mainline
4331
revisions, instead of "merged:". (Kent Gibson)
4332
4333
* New ``BranchBuilder`` API which allows the construction of particular
4334
histories quickly. Useful for testing and potentially other applications
4335
too. (Robert Collins)
4336
4337
IMPROVEMENTS:
4338
4339
* There are two new help topics, working-trees and repositories that
4340
attempt to explain these concepts. (James Westby, John Arbash Meinel,
4341
Aaron Bentley)
4342
4343
* Added ``bzr log --limit`` to report a limited number of revisions.
4344
(Kent Gibson, #3659)
4345
4346
* Revert does not try to preserve file contents that were originally
4347
produced by reverting to a historical revision. (Aaron Bentley)
4348
4349
* ``bzr log --short`` now includes ``[merge]`` for revisions which
4350
have more than one parent. This is a small improvement to help
4351
understanding what changes have occurred
4352
(John Arbash Meinel, #83887)
4353
4354
* TreeTransform avoids many renames when contructing large trees,
4355
improving speed. 3.25x speedups have been observed for construction of
4356
kernel-sized-trees, and checkouts are 1.28x faster. (Aaron Bentley)
4357
4358
* Commit on large trees is now faster. In my environment, a commit of
4359
a small change to the Mozilla tree (55k files) has dropped from
4360
66 seconds to 32 seconds. For a small tree of 600 files, commit of a
4361
small change is 33% faster. (Ian Clatworthy)
4362
4363
* New --create-prefix option to bzr init, like for push. (Daniel Watkins,
4364
#56322)
4365
4366
BUGFIXES:
4367
4368
* ``bzr push`` should only connect to the remote location one time.
4369
We have been connecting 3 times because we forget to pass around
4370
the Transport object. This adds ``BzrDir.clone_on_transport()``, so
4371
that we can pass in the Transport that we already have.
4372
(John Arbash Meinel, #75721)
4373
4374
* ``DirState.set_state_from_inventory()`` needs to properly order
4375
based on split paths, not just string paths.
4376
(John Arbash Meinel, #115947)
4377
4378
* Let TestUIFactoy encode the password prompt with its own stdout.
4379
(Vincent Ladeuil, #110204)
4380
4381
* pycurl should take use the range header that takes the range hint
4382
into account.
4383
(Vincent Ladeuil, #112719)
4384
4385
* WorkingTree4.get_file_sha1 no longer raises an exception when invoked
4386
on a missing file. (Aaron Bentley, #118186)
4387
4388
* WorkingTree.remove works correctly with tree references, and when pwd is
4389
not the tree root. (Aaron Bentley)
4390
4391
* Merge no longer fails when a file is renamed in one tree and deleted
4392
in the other. (Aaron Bentley, #110279)
4393
4394
* ``revision-info`` now accepts dotted revnos, doesn't require a tree,
4395
and defaults to the last revision (Matthew Fuller, #90048)
4396
4397
* Tests no longer fail when BZR_REMOTE_PATH is set in the environment.
4398
(Daniel Watkins, #111958)
4399
4400
* ``bzr branch -r revid:foo`` can be used to branch any revision in
4401
your repository. (Previously Branch6 only supported revisions in your
4402
mainline). (John Arbash Meinel, #115343)

4405
--------------------
4406
4407
BUGFIXES:
4408
4409
* Handle when you have 2 directories with similar names, but one has a
4410
hyphen. (``'abc'`` versus ``'abc-2'``). The WT4._iter_changes
4411
iterator was using direct comparison and ``'abc/a'`` sorts after
4412
``'abc-2'``, but ``('abc', 'a')`` sorts before ``('abc-2',)``.
4413
(John Arbash Meinel, #111227)
4414
4415
* Handle when someone renames a file on disk without telling bzr.
4416
Previously we would report the first file as missing, but not show
4417
the new unknown file. (John Arbash Meinel, #111288)
4418
4419
* Avoid error when running hooks after pulling into or pushing from
4420
a branch bound to a smartserver branch. (Martin Pool, #111968)
4421
4422
IMPROVEMENTS:
4423
4424
* Move developer documentation to doc/developers/. This reduces clutter in
4425
the root of the source tree and allows HACKING to be split into multiple
4426
files. (Robert Collins, Alexander Belchenko)
4427
4428
* Clean up the ``WorkingTree4._iter_changes()`` internal loops as well as
4429
``DirState.update_entry()``. This optimizes the core logic for ``bzr
4430
diff`` and ``bzr status`` significantly improving the speed of
4431
both. (John Arbash Meinel)

4434
-----------------------
4435
4436
BUGFIXES:
4437
4438
* Handle the case when you delete a file, and then rename another file
4439
on top of it. Also handle the case of ``bzr rm --keep foo``. ``bzr
4440
status`` should show the removed file and an unknown file in its
4441
place. (John Arbash Meinel, #109993)
4442
4443
* Bundles properly read and write revision properties that have an
4444
empty value. And when the value is not ASCII.
4445
(John Arbash Meinel, #109613)
4446
4447
* Fix the bzr commit message to be in text mode.
4448
(Alexander Belchenko, #110901)
4449
4450
* Also handle when you rename a file and create a file where it used
4451
to be. (John Arbash Meinel, #110256)
4452
4453
* ``WorkingTree4._iter_changes`` should not descend into unversioned
4454
directories. (John Arbash Meinel, #110399)

4457
-----------------------
4458
4459
NOTES WHEN UPGRADING:
4460
4461
* ``bzr remove`` and ``bzr rm`` will now remove the working file, if
4462
it could be recovered again.
4463
This has been done for consistency with svn and the unix rm command.
4464
The old ``remove`` behaviour has been retained in the new option
4465
``bzr remove --keep``, which will just stop versioning the file,
4466
but not delete it.
4467
``bzr remove --force`` have been added which will always delete the
4468
files.
4469
``bzr remove`` is also more verbose.
4470
(Marius Kruger, #82602)
4471
4472
IMPROVEMENTS:
4473
4474
* Merge directives can now be supplied as input to `merge` and `pull`,
4475
like bundles can. (Aaron Bentley)
4476
4477
* Sending the SIGQUIT signal to bzr, which can be done on Unix by
4478
pressing Control-Backslash, drops bzr into a debugger. Type ``'c'``
4479
to continue. This can be disabled by setting the environment variable
4480
``BZR_SIGQUIT_PDB=0``. (Martin Pool)
4481
4482
* selftest now supports --list-only to list tests instead of running
4483
them. (Ian Clatworthy)
4484
4485
* selftest now supports --exclude PATTERN (or -x PATTERN) to exclude
4486
tests with names that match that regular expression.
4487
(Ian Clatworthy, #102679)
4488
4489
* selftest now supports --randomize SEED to run tests in a random order.
4490
SEED is typically the value 'now' meaning 'use the current time'.
4491
(Ian Clatworthy, #102686)
4492
4493
* New option ``--fixes`` to commit, which stores bug fixing annotations as
4494
revision properties. Built-in support for Launchpad, Debian, Trac and
4495
Bugzilla bug trackers. (Jonathan Lange, James Henstridge, Robert Collins)
4496
4497
* New API, ``bzrlib.bugtracker.tracker_registry``, for adding support for
4498
other bug trackers to ``fixes``. (Jonathan Lange, James Henstridge,
4499
Robert Collins)
4500
4501
* ``selftest`` has new short options ``-f`` and ``-1``. (Martin
4502
Pool)
4503
4504
* ``bzrlib.tsort.MergeSorter`` optimizations. Change the inner loop
4505
into using local variables instead of going through ``self._var``.
4506
Improves the time to ``merge_sort`` a 10k revision graph by
4507
approximately 40% (~700->400ms). (John Arbash Meinel)
4508
4509
* ``make docs`` now creates a man page at ``man1/bzr.1`` fixing bug 107388.
4510
(Robert Collins)
4511
4512
* ``bzr help`` now provides cross references to other help topics using
4513
the _see_also facility on command classes. Likewise the bzr_man
4514
documentation, and the bzr.1 man page also include this information.
4515
(Robert Collins)
4516
4517
* Tags are now included in logs, that use the long log formatter.
4518
(Erik Bågfors, Alexander Belchenko)
4519
4520
* ``bzr help`` provides a clearer message when a help topic cannot be
4521
found. (Robert Collins, #107656)
4522
4523
* ``bzr help`` now accepts optional prefixes for command help. The help
4524
for all commands can now be found at ``bzr help commands/COMMANDNAME``
4525
as well as ``bzr help COMMANDNAME`` (which only works for commands
4526
where the name is not the same as a more general help topic).
4527
(Robert Collins)
4528
4529
* ``bzr help PLUGINNAME`` will now return the module docstring from the
4530
plugin PLUGINNAME. (Robert Collins, #50408)
4531
4532
* New help topic ``urlspec`` which lists the availables transports.
4533
(Goffredo Baroncelli)
4534
4535
* doc/server.txt updated to document the default bzr:// port
4536
and also update the blurb about the hpss' current status.
4537
(Robert Collins, #107125).
4538
4539
* ``bzr serve`` now listens on interface 0.0.0.0 by default, making it
4540
serve out to the local LAN (and anyone in the world that can reach the
4541
machine running ``bzr serve``. (Robert Collins, #98918)
4542
4543
* A new smart server protocol version has been added. It prefixes requests
4544
and responses with an explicit version identifier so that future protocol
4545
revisions can be dealt with gracefully. (Andrew Bennetts, Robert Collins)
4546
4547
* The bzr protocol version 2 indicates success or failure in every response
4548
without depending on particular commands encoding that consistently,
4549
allowing future client refactorings to be much more robust about error
4550
handling. (Robert Collins, Martin Pool, Andrew Bennetts)
4551
4552
* The smart protocol over HTTP client has been changed to always post to the
4553
same ``.bzr/smart`` URL under the original location when it can. This allows
4554
HTTP servers to only have to pass URLs ending in .bzr/smart to the smart
4555
server handler, and not arbitrary ``.bzr/*/smart`` URLs. (Andrew Bennetts)
4556
4557
* digest authentication is now supported for proxies and HTTP by the urllib
4558
based http implementation. Tested against Apache 2.0.55 and Squid
4559
2.6.5. Basic and digest authentication are handled coherently for HTTP
4560
and proxy: if the user is provided in the url (bzr command line for HTTP,
4561
proxy environment variables for proxies), the password is prompted for
4562
(only once). If the password is provided, it is taken into account. Once
4563
the first authentication is successful, all further authentication
4564
roundtrips are avoided by preventively setting the right authentication
4565
header(s).
4566
(Vincent Ladeuil).
4567
4568
INTERNALS:
4569
4570
* bzrlib API compatability with 0.8 has been dropped, cleaning up some
4571
code paths. (Robert Collins)
4572
4573
* Change the format of chroot urls so that they can be safely manipulated
4574
by generic url utilities without causing the resulting urls to have
4575
escaped the chroot. A side effect of this is that creating a chroot
4576
requires an explicit action using a ChrootServer.
4577
(Robert Collins, Andrew Bennetts)
4578
4579
* Deprecate ``Branch.get_root_id()`` because branches don't have root ids,
4580
rather than fixing bug #96847. (Aaron Bentley)
4581
4582
* ``WorkingTree.apply_inventory_delta`` provides a better alternative to
4583
``WorkingTree._write_inventory``. (Aaron Bentley)
4584
4585
* Convenience method ``TestCase.expectFailure`` ensures that known failures
4586
do not silently pass. (Aaron Bentley)
4587
4588
* ``Transport.local_abspath`` now raises ``NotLocalUrl`` rather than
4589
``TransportNotPossible``. (Martin Pool, Ian Clatworthy)
4590
4591
* New SmartServer hooks facility. There are two initial hooks documented
4592
in ``bzrlib.transport.smart.SmartServerHooks``. The two initial hooks allow
4593
plugins to execute code upon server startup and shutdown.
4594
(Robert Collins).
4595
4596
* SmartServer in standalone mode will now close its listening socket
4597
when it stops, rather than waiting for garbage collection. This primarily
4598
fixes test suite hangs when a test tries to connect to a shutdown server.
4599
It may also help improve behaviour when dealing with a server running
4600
on a specific port (rather than dynamically assigned ports).
4601
(Robert Collins)
4602
4603
* Move most SmartServer code into a new package, bzrlib/smart.
4604
bzrlib/transport/remote.py contains just the Transport classes that used
4605
to be in bzrlib/transport/smart.py. (Andrew Bennetts)
4606
4607
* urllib http implementation avoid roundtrips associated with
4608
401 (and 407) errors once the authentication succeeds.
4609
(Vincent Ladeuil).
4610
4611
* urlib http now supports querying the user for a proxy password if
4612
needed. Realm is shown in the prompt for both HTTP and proxy
4613
authentication when the user is required to type a password.
4614
(Vincent Ladeuil).
4615
4616
* Renamed SmartTransport (and subclasses like SmartTCPTransport) to
4617
RemoteTransport (and subclasses to RemoteTCPTransport, etc). This is more
4618
consistent with its new home in ``bzrlib/transport/remote.py``, and because
4619
it's not really a "smart" transport, just one that does file operations
4620
via remote procedure calls. (Andrew Bennetts)
4621
4622
* The ``lock_write`` method of ``LockableFiles``, ``Repository`` and
4623
``Branch`` now accept a ``token`` keyword argument, so that separate
4624
instances of those objects can share a lock if it has the right token.
4625
(Andrew Bennetts, Robert Collins)
4626
4627
* New method ``get_branch_reference`` on ``BzrDir`` allows the detection of
4628
branch references - which the smart server component needs.
4629
4630
* The Repository API ``make_working_trees`` is now permitted to return
4631
False when ``set_make_working_trees`` is not implemented - previously
4632
an unimplemented ``set_make_working_trees`` implied the result True
4633
from ``make_working_trees``. This has been changed to accomodate the
4634
smart server, where it does not make sense (at this point) to ever
4635
make working trees by default. (Robert Collins)
4636
4637
* Command objects can now declare related help topics by having _see_also
4638
set to a list of related topic. (Robert Collins)
4639
4640
* ``bzrlib.help`` now delegates to the Command class for Command specific
4641
help. (Robert Collins)
4642
4643
* New class ``TransportListRegistry``, derived from the Registry class, which
4644
simplifies tracking the available Transports. (Goffredo Baroncelli)
4645
4646
* New function ``Branch.get_revision_id_to_revno_map`` which will
4647
return a dictionary mapping revision ids to dotted revnos. Since
4648
dotted revnos are defined in the context of the branch tip, it makes
4649
sense to generate them from a ``Branch`` object.
4650
(John Arbash Meinel)
4651
4652
* Fix the 'Unprintable error' message display to use the repr of the
4653
exception that prevented printing the error because the str value
4654
for it is often not useful in debugging (e.g. KeyError('foo') has a
4655
str() of 'foo' but a repr of 'KeyError('foo')' which is much more
4656
useful. (Robert Collins)
4657
4658
* ``urlutils.normalize_url`` now unescapes unreserved characters, such as "~".
4659
(Andrew Bennetts)
4660
4661
BUGFIXES:
4662
4663
* Don't fail bundle selftest if email has 'two' embedded.
4664
(Ian Clatworthy, #98510)
4665
4666
* Remove ``--verbose`` from ``bzr bundle``. It didn't work anyway.
4667
(Robert Widhopf-Fenk, #98591)
4668
4669
* Remove ``--basis`` from the checkout/branch commands - it didn't work
4670
properly and is no longer beneficial.
4671
(Robert Collins, #53675, #43486)
4672
4673
* Don't produce encoding error when adding duplicate files.
4674
(Aaron Bentley)
4675
4676
* Fix ``bzr log <file>`` so it only logs the revisions that changed
4677
the file, and does it faster.
4678
(Kent Gibson, John Arbash Meinel, #51980, #69477)
4679
4680
* Fix ``InterDirstateTre._iter_changes`` to handle when we come across
4681
an empty versioned directory, which now has files in it.
4682
(John Arbash Meinel, #104257)
4683
4684
* Teach ``common_ancestor`` to shortcut when the tip of one branch is
4685
inside the ancestry of the other. Saves a lot of graph processing
4686
(with an ancestry of 16k revisions, ``bzr merge ../already-merged``
4687
changes from 2m10s to 13s). (John Arbash Meinel, #103757)
4688
4689
* Fix ``show_diff_trees`` to handle the case when a file is modified,
4690
and the containing directory is renamed. (The file path is different
4691
in this versus base, but it isn't marked as a rename).
4692
(John Arbash Meinel, #103870)
4693
4694
* FTP now works even when the FTP server does not support atomic rename.
4695
(Aaron Bentley, #89436)
4696
4697
* Correct handling in bundles and merge directives of timezones with
4698
that are not an integer number of hours offset from UTC. Always
4699
represent the epoch time in UTC to avoid problems with formatting
4700
earlier times on win32. (Martin Pool, Alexander Belchenko, John
4701
Arbash Meinel)
4702
4703
* Typo in the help for ``register-branch`` fixed. (Robert Collins, #96770)
4704
4705
* "dirstate" and "dirstate-tags" formats now produce branches compatible
4706
with old versions of bzr. (Aaron Bentley, #107168))
4707
4708
* Handle moving a directory when children have been added, removed,
4709
and renamed. (John Arbash Meinel, #105479)
4710
4711
* Don't preventively use basic authentication for proxy before receiving a
4712
407 error. Otherwise people willing to use other authentication schemes
4713
may expose their password in the clear (or nearly). This add one
4714
roundtrip in case basic authentication should be used, but plug the
4715
security hole.
4716
(Vincent Ladeuil)
4717
4718
* Handle http and proxy digest authentication.
4719
(Vincent Ladeuil, #94034).
4720
4721
TESTING:
4722
4723
* Added ``bzrlib.strace.strace`` which will strace a single callable and
4724
return a StraceResult object which contains just the syscalls involved
4725
in running it. (Robert Collins)
4726
4727
* New test method ``reduceLockdirTimeout`` to drop the default (ui-centric)
4728
default time down to one suitable for tests. (Andrew Bennetts)
4729
4730
* Add new ``vfs_transport_factory`` attribute on tests which provides the
4731
common vfs backing for both the readonly and readwrite transports.
4732
This allows the RemoteObject tests to back onto local disk or memory,
4733
and use the existing ``transport_server`` attribute all tests know about
4734
to be the smart server transport. This in turn allows tests to
4735
differentiate between 'transport to access the branch', and
4736
'transport which is a VFS' - which matters in Remote* tests.
4737
(Robert Collins, Andrew Bennetts)
4738
4739
* The ``make_branch_and_tree`` method for tests will now create a
4740
lightweight checkout for the tree if the ``vfs_transport_factory`` is not
4741
a LocalURLServer. (Robert Collins, Andrew Bennetts)
4742
4743
* Branch implementation tests have been audited to ensure that all urls
4744
passed to Branch APIs use proper urls, except when local-disk paths
4745
are intended. This is so that tests correctly access the test transport
4746
which is often not equivalent to local disk in Remote* tests. As part
4747
of this many tests were adjusted to remove dependencies on local disk
4748
access.
4749
(Robert Collins, Andrew Bennetts)
4750
4751
* Mark bzrlib.tests and bzrlib.tests.TestUtil as providing assertFOO helper
4752
functions by adding a ``__unittest`` global attribute. (Robert Collins,
4753
Andrew Bennetts, Martin Pool, Jonathan Lange)
4754
4755
* Refactored proxy and authentication handling to simplify the
4756
implementation of new auth schemes for both http and proxy.

-----------------------
4773
4774
CHANGES:
4775
4776
* A warning is now displayed when opening working trees in older
4777
formats, to encourage people to upgrade to WorkingTreeFormat4.
4778
(Martin Pool)
4779
4780
IMPROVEMENTS:
4781
4782
* HTTP redirections are now taken into account when a branch (or a
4783
bundle) is accessed for the first time. A message is issued at each
4784
redirection to inform the user. In the past, http redirections were
4785
silently followed for each request which significantly degraded the
4786
performances. The http redirections are not followed anymore by
4787
default, instead a RedirectRequested exception is raised. For bzrlib
4788
users needing to follow http redirections anyway,
4789
``bzrlib.transport.do_catching_redirections`` provide an easy transition
4790
path. (vila)
4791
4792
INTERNALS:
4793
4794
* Added ``ReadLock.temporary_write_lock()`` to allow upgrading an OS read
4795
lock to an OS write lock. Linux can do this without unlocking, Win32
4796
needs to unlock in between. (John Arbash Meinel)
4797
4798
* New parameter ``recommend_upgrade`` to ``BzrDir.open_workingtree``
4799
to silence (when false) warnings about opening old formats.
4800
(Martin Pool)
4801
4802
* Fix minor performance regression with bzr-0.15 on pre-dirstate
4803
trees. (We were reading the working inventory too many times).
4804
(John Arbash Meinel)
4805
4806
* Remove ``Branch.get_transaction()`` in favour of a simple cache of
4807
``revision_history``. Branch subclasses should override
4808
``_gen_revision_history`` rather than ``revision_history`` to make use of
4809
this cache, and call ``_clear_revision_history_cache`` and
4810
``_cache_revision_history`` at appropriate times. (Andrew Bennetts)
4811
4812
BUGFIXES:
4813
4814
* Take ``smtp_server`` from user config into account.
4815
(vila, #92195)
4816
4817
* Restore Unicode filename handling for versioned and unversioned files.
4818
(John Arbash Meinel, #92608)
4819
4820
* Don't fail during ``bzr commit`` if a file is marked removed, and
4821
the containing directory is auto-removed. (John Arbash Meinel, #93681)
4822
4823
* ``bzr status FILENAME`` failed on Windows because of an uncommon
4824
errno. (``ERROR_DIRECTORY == 267 != ENOTDIR``).
4825
(Wouter van Heyst, John Arbash Meinel, #90819)
4826
4827
* ``bzr checkout source`` should create a local branch in the same
4828
format as source. (John Arbash Meinel, #93854)
4829
4830
* ``bzr commit`` with a kind change was failing to update the
4831
last-changed-revision for directories. The
4832
InventoryDirectory._unchanged only looked at the ``parent_id`` and name,
4833
ignoring the fact that the kind could have changed, too.
4834
(John Arbash Meinel, #90111)
4835
4836
* ``bzr mv dir/subdir other`` was incorrectly updating files inside
4837
the directory. So that there was a chance it would break commit,
4838
etc. (John Arbash Meinel, #94037)
4839
4840
* Correctly handles mutiple permanent http redirections.

4844
-----------------------
4845
4846
NOTES WHEN UPGRADING:
4847
4848
* Release 0.15rc2 of bzr changes the ``bzr init-repo`` command to
4849
default to ``--trees`` instead of ``--no-trees``.
4850
Existing shared repositories are not affected.
4851
4852
IMPROVEMENTS:
4853
4854
* New ``merge-directive`` command to generate machine- and human-readable
4855
merge requests. (Aaron Bentley)
4856
4857
* New ``submit:`` revision specifier makes it easy to diff against the
4858
common ancestor with the submit location (Aaron Bentley)
4859
4860
* Added support for Putty's SSH implementation. (Dmitry Vasiliev)
4861
4862
* Added ``bzr status --versioned`` to report only versioned files,
4863
not unknowns. (Kent Gibson)
4864
4865
* Merge now autodetects the correct line-ending style for its conflict
4866
markers. (Aaron Bentley)
4867
4868
INTERNALS:
4869
4870
* Refactored SSH vendor registration into SSHVendorManager class.
4871
(Dmitry Vasiliev)
4872
4873
BUGFIXES:
4874
4875
* New ``--numbered-dirs`` option to ``bzr selftest`` to use
4876
numbered dirs for TestCaseInTempDir. This is default behavior
4877
on Windows. Anyone can force named dirs on Windows
4878
with ``--no-numbered-dirs``. (Alexander Belchenko)
4879
4880
* Fix ``RevisionSpec_revid`` to handle the Unicode strings passed in
4881
from the command line. (Marien Zwart, #90501)
4882
4883
* Fix ``TreeTransform._iter_changes`` when both the source and
4884
destination are missing. (Aaron Bentley, #88842)
4885
4886
* Fix commit of merges with symlinks in dirstate trees.
4887
(Marien Zwart)
4888
4889
* Switch the ``bzr init-repo`` default from --no-trees to --trees.
4890
(Wouter van Heyst, #53483)

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

(Aaron Bentley, Martin Pool, Robert Collins).
5068
5069
BUGFIXES:
5070
5071
* ``bzr annotate`` now uses dotted revnos from the viewpoint of the
5072
branch, rather than the last changed revision of the file.
5073
(John Arbash Meinel, #82158)
5074
5075
* Lock operations no longer hang if they encounter a permission problem.
5076
(Aaron Bentley)
5077
5078
* ``bzr push`` can resume a push that was canceled before it finished.
5079
Also, it can push even if the target directory exists if you supply
5080
the ``--use-existing-dir`` flag.
5081
(John Arbash Meinel, #30576, #45504)
5082
5083
* Fix http proxy authentication when user and an optional
5084
password appears in the ``*_proxy`` vars. (Vincent Ladeuil,
5085
#83954).
5086
5087
* ``bzr log branch/file`` works for local treeless branches
5088
(Aaron Bentley, #84247)
5089
5090
* Fix problem with UNC paths on Windows 98. (Alexander Belchenko, #84728)
5091
5092
* Searching location of CA bundle for PyCurl in env variable
5093
(``CURL_CA_BUNDLE``), and on win32 along the PATH.
5094
(Alexander Belchenko, #82086)
5095
5096
* ``bzr init`` works with unicode argument LOCATION.
5097
(Alexander Belchenko, #85599)
5098
5099
* Raise ``DependencyNotPresent`` if pycurl do not support https.
5100
(Vincent Ladeuil, #85305)
5101
5102
* Invalid proxy env variables should not cause a traceback.
5103
(Vincent Ladeuil, #87765)
5104
5105
* Ignore patterns normalised to use '/' path separator.
5106
(Kent Gibson, #86451)
5107
5108
* bzr rocks. It sure does! Fix case. (Vincent Ladeuil, #78026)
5109
5110
* Fix bzrtools shelve command for removed lines beginning with "--"
5111
(Johan Dahlberg, #75577)
5112
5113
TESTING:
5114
5115
* New ``--first`` option to ``bzr selftest`` to run specified tests
5116
before the rest of the suite. (Martin Pool)
5117
5118
5119
bzr 0.14 2007-01-23
5120
--------------------
5121
5122
IMPROVEMENTS:
5123
5124
* ``bzr help global-options`` describes the global options. (Aaron Bentley)
5125
5126
BUG FIXES:
5127
5128
* Skip documentation generation tests if the tools to do so are not
5129
available. Fixes running selftest for installled copies of bzr.
5130
(John Arbash Meinel, #80330)
5131
5132
* Fix the code that discovers whether bzr is being run from it's
5133
working tree to handle the case when it isn't but the directory
5134
it is in is below a repository. (James Westby, #77306)
5135
5136
5137
bzr 0.14rc1 2007-01-16
5138
-----------------------
5139
5140
IMPROVEMENTS:
5141
5142
* New connection: ``bzr+http://`` which supports tunnelling the smart
5143
protocol over an HTTP connection. If writing is enabled on the bzr
5144
server, then you can write over the http connection.
5145
(Andrew Bennetts, John Arbash Meinel)
5146
5147
* Aliases now support quotation marks, so they can contain whitespace
5148
(Marius Kruger)
5149
5150
* PyCurlTransport now use a single curl object. By specifying explicitly
5151
the 'Range' header, we avoid the need to use two different curl objects
5152
(and two connections to the same server). (Vincent Ladeuil)
5153
5154
* ``bzr commit`` does not prompt for a message until it is very likely to
5155
succeed. (Aaron Bentley)
5156
5157
* ``bzr conflicts`` now takes --text to list pathnames of text conflicts
5158
(Aaron Bentley)
5159
5160
* Fix ``iter_lines_added_or_present_in_versions`` to use a set instead
5161
of a list while checking if a revision id was requested. Takes 10s
5162
off of the ``fileids_affected_by_revision_ids`` time, which is 10s
5163
of the ``bzr branch`` time. Also improve ``fileids_...`` time by
5164
filtering lines with a regex rather than multiple ``str.find()``
5165
calls. (saves another 300ms) (John Arbash Meinel)
5166
5167
* Policy can be set for each configuration key. This allows keys to be
5168
inherited properly across configuration entries. For example, this
5169
should enable you to do::
5170
5171
[/home/user/project]
5172
push_location = sftp://host/srv/project/
5173
push_location:policy = appendpath
5174
5175
And then a branch like ``/home/user/project/mybranch`` should get an
5176
automatic push location of ``sftp://host/srv/project/mybranch``.
5177
(James Henstridge)
5178
5179
* Added ``bzr status --short`` to make status report svn style flags
5180
for each file. For example::
5181
5182
$ bzr status --short
5183
A foo
5184
A bar
5185
D baz
5186
? wooley
5187
5188
* 'bzr selftest --clean-output' allows easily clean temporary tests
5189
directories without running tests. (Alexander Belchenko)
5190
5191
* ``bzr help hidden-commands`` lists all hidden commands. (Aaron Bentley)
5192
5193
* ``bzr merge`` now has an option ``--pull`` to fall back to pull if
5194
local is fully merged into remote. (Jan Hudec)
5195
5196
* ``bzr help formats`` describes available directory formats. (Aaron Bentley)
5197
5198
INTERNALS:
5199
5200
* A few tweaks directly to ``fileids_affected_by_revision_ids`` to
5201
help speed up processing, as well allowing to extract unannotated
5202
lines. Between the two ``fileids_affected_by_revision_ids`` is
5203
improved by approx 10%. (John Arbash Meinel)
5204
5205
* Change Revision serialization to only write out millisecond
5206
resolution. Rather than expecting floating point serialization to
5207
preserve more resolution than we need. (Henri Weichers, Martin Pool)
5208
5209
* Test suite ends cleanly on Windows. (Vincent Ladeuil)
5210
5211
* When ``encoding_type`` attribute of class Command is equal to 'exact',
5212
force sys.stdout to be a binary stream on Windows, and therefore
5213
keep exact line-endings (without LF -> CRLF conversion).
5214
(Alexander Belchenko)
5215
5216
* Single-letter short options are no longer globally declared. (Martin
5217
Pool)
5218
5219
* Before using detected user/terminal encoding bzr should check
5220
that Python has corresponding codec. (Alexander Belchenko)
5221
5222
* Formats for end-user selection are provided via a FormatRegistry (Aaron Bentley)
5223
5224
BUG FIXES:
5225
5226
* ``bzr missing --verbose`` was showing adds/removals in the wrong
5227
direction. (John Arbash Meinel)
5228
5229
* ``bzr annotate`` now defaults to showing dotted revnos for merged
5230
revisions. It cuts them off at a depth of 12 characters, but you can
5231
supply ``--long`` to see the full number. You can also use
5232
``--show-ids`` to display the original revision ids, rather than
5233
revision numbers and committer names. (John Arbash Meinel, #75637)
5234
5235
* bzr now supports Win32 UNC path (e.g. ``\HOST\path``.
5236
(Alexander Belchenko, #57869)
5237
5238
* Win32-specific: output of cat, bundle and diff commands don't mangle
5239
line-endings (Alexander Belchenko, #55276)
5240
5241
* Replace broken fnmatch based ignore pattern matching with custom pattern
5242
matcher.
5243
(Kent Gibson, Jan Hudec #57637)
5244
5245
* pycurl and urllib can detect short reads at different places. Update
5246
the test suite to test more cases. Also detect http error code 416
5247
which was raised for that specific bug. Also enhance the urllib
5248
robustness by detecting invalid ranges (and pycurl's one by detecting
5249
short reads during the initial GET). (Vincent Ladeuil, #73948)
5250
5251
* The urllib connection sharing interacts badly with urllib2
5252
proxy setting (the connections didn't go thru the proxy
5253
anymore). Defining a proper ProxyHandler solves the
5254
problem. (Vincent Ladeuil, #74759)
5255
5256
* Use urlutils to generate relative URLs, not osutils
5257
(Aaron Bentley, #76229)
5258
5259
* ``bzr status`` in a readonly directory should work without giving
5260
lots of errors. (John Arbash Meinel, #76299)
5261
5262
* Mention the revisionspec topic for the revision option help.
5263
(Wouter van Heyst, #31663)
5264
5265
* Allow plugins import from zip archives.

5277
IMPROVEMENTS:
5278
5279
* New command ``bzr remove-tree`` allows the removal of the working
5280
tree from a branch.
5281
(Daniel Silverstone)
5282
5283
* urllib uses shared keep-alive connections, so http
5284
operations are substantially faster.
5285
(Vincent Ladeuil, #53654)
5286
5287
* ``bzr export`` allows an optional branch parameter, to export a bzr
5288
tree from some other url. For example:
5289
``bzr export bzr.tar.gz http://bazaar-vcs.org/bzr/bzr.dev``
5290
(Daniel Silverstone)
5291
5292
* Added ``bzr help topics`` to the bzr help system. This gives a
5293
location for general information, outside of a specific command.
5294
This includes updates for ``bzr help revisionspec`` the first topic
5295
included. (Goffredo Baroncelli, John Arbash Meinel, #42714)
5296
5297
* WSGI-compatible HTTP smart server. See ``doc/http_smart_server.txt``.
5298
(Andrew Bennetts)
5299
5300
* Knit files will now cache full texts only when the size of the
5301
deltas is as large as the size of the fulltext. (Or after 200
5302
deltas, whichever comes first). This has the most benefit on large
5303
files with small changes, such as the inventory for a large project.
5304
(eg For a project with 2500 files, and 7500 revisions, it changes
5305
the size of inventory.knit from 11MB to 5.4MB) (John Arbash Meinel)
5306
5307
INTERNALS:
5308
5309
* New -D option given before the command line turns on debugging output
5310
for particular areas. -Derror shows tracebacks on all errors.
5311
(Martin Pool)
5312
5313
* Clean up ``bzr selftest --benchmark bundle`` to correct an import,
5314
and remove benchmarks that take longer than 10min to run.
5315
(John Arbash Meinel)
5316
5317
* Use ``time.time()`` instead of ``time.clock()`` to decide on
5318
progress throttling. Because ``time.clock()`` is actually CPU time,
5319
so over a high-latency connection, too many updates get throttled.
5320
(John Arbash Meinel)
5321
5322
* ``MemoryTransport.list_dir()`` would strip the first character for
5323
files or directories in root directory. (John Arbash Meinel)
5324
5325
* New method ``get_branch_reference`` on 'BzrDir' allows the detection of
5326
branch references - which the smart server component needs.
5327
5328
* New ``ChrootTransportDecorator``, accessible via the ``chroot+`` url
5329
prefix. It disallows any access to locations above a set URL. (Andrew
5330
Bennetts)
5331
5332
BUG FIXES:
5333
5334
* Now ``_KnitIndex`` properly decode revision ids when loading index data.
5335
And optimize the knit index parsing code.
5336
(Dmitry Vasiliev, John Arbash Meinel)
5337
5338
* ``bzrlib/bzrdir.py`` was directly referencing ``bzrlib.workingtree``,
5339
without importing it. This prevented ``bzr upgrade`` from working
5340
unless a plugin already imported ``bzrlib.workingtree``
5341
(John Arbash Meinel, #70716)
5342
5343
* Suppress the traceback on invalid URLs (Vincent Ladeuil, #70803).
5344
5345
* Give nicer error message when an http server returns a 403
5346
error code. (Vincent Ladeuil, #57644).
5347
5348
* When a multi-range http GET request fails, try a single
5349
range one. If it fails too, forget about ranges. Remember that until
5350
the death of the transport and propagates that to the clones.
5351
(Vincent Ladeuil, #62276, #62029).
5352
5353
* Handles user/passwords supplied in url from command
5354
line (for the urllib implementation). Don't request already
5355
known passwords (Vincent Ladeuil, #42383, #44647, #48527)
5356
5357
* ``_KnitIndex.add_versions()`` dictionary compresses revision ids as they
5358
are added. This fixes bug where fetching remote revisions records
5359
them as full references rather than integers.
5360
(John Arbash Meinel, #64789)
5361
5362
* ``bzr ignore`` strips trailing slashes in patterns.
5363
Also ``bzr ignore`` rejects absolute paths. (Kent Gibson, #4559)
5364
5365
* ``bzr ignore`` takes multiple arguments. (Cheuksan Edward Wang, #29488)
5366
5367
* mv correctly handles paths that traverse symlinks.
5368
(Aaron Bentley, #66964)
5369
5370
* Give nicer looking error messages when failing to connect over ssh.
5371
(John Arbash Meinel, #49172)
5372
5373
* Pushing to a remote branch does not currently update the remote working
5374
tree. After a remote push, ``bzr status`` and ``bzr diff`` on the remote
5375
machine now show that the working tree is out of date.
5376
(Cheuksan Edward Wang #48136)
5377
5378
* Use patiencediff instead of difflib for determining deltas to insert
5379
into knits. This avoids the O(N^3) behavior of difflib. Patience
5380
diff should be O(N^2). (Cheuksan Edward Wang, #65714)
5381
5382
* Running ``bzr log`` on nonexistent file gives an error instead of the
5383
entire log history. (Cheuksan Edward Wang #50793)
5384
5385
* ``bzr cat`` can look up contents of removed or renamed files. If the
5386
pathname is ambiguous, i.e. the files in the old and new trees have
5387
different id's, the default is the file in the new tree. The user can
5388
use "--name-from-revision" to select the file in the old tree.
5389
(Cheuksan Edward Wang, #30190)
5390
5391
TESTING:
5392
5393
* TestingHTTPRequestHandler really handles the Range header
5394
(previously it was ignoring it and returning the whole file,).

bzr 0.12 2006-10-30
5397
--------------------
5398
5399
INTERNALS:
5400
5401
* Clean up ``bzr selftest --benchmark bundle`` to correct an import,
5402
and remove benchmarks that take longer than 10min to run.
5403
(John Arbash Meinel)
5404
5405
bzr 0.12rc1 2006-10-23
5406
-----------------------
5407
5408
IMPROVEMENTS:
5409
5410
* ``bzr log`` now shows dotted-decimal revision numbers for all revisions,
5411
rather than just showing a decimal revision number for revisions on the
5412
mainline. These revision numbers are not yet accepted as input into bzr
5413
commands such as log, diff etc. (Robert Collins)
5414
5415
* revisions can now be specified using dotted-decimal revision numbers.
5416
For instance, ``bzr diff -r 1.2.1..1.2.3``. (Robert Collins)
5417
5418
* ``bzr help commands`` output is now shorter (Aaron Bentley)
5419
5420
* ``bzr`` now uses lazy importing to reduce the startup time. This has
5421
a moderate effect on lots of actions, especially ones that have
5422
little to do. For example ``bzr rocks`` time is down to 116ms from
5423
283ms. (John Arbash Meinel)
5424
5425
* New Registry class to provide name-to-object registry-like support,
5426
for example for schemes where plugins can register new classes to
5427
do certain tasks (e.g. log formatters). Also provides lazy registration
5428
to allow modules to be loaded on request.
5429
(John Arbash Meinel, Adeodato Simó)
5430
5431
API INCOMPATABILITY:
5432
5433
* LogFormatter subclasses show now expect the 'revno' parameter to
5434
show() to be a string rather than an int. (Robert Collins)
5435
5436
INTERNALS:
5437
5438
* ``TestCase.run_bzr``, ``run_bzr_captured``, and ``run_bzr_subprocess``
5439
can take a ``working_dir='foo'`` parameter, which will change directory
5440
for the command. (John Arbash Meinel)
5441
5442
* ``bzrlib.lazy_regex.lazy_compile`` can be used to create a proxy
5443
around a regex, which defers compilation until first use.
5444
(John Arbash Meinel)
5445
5446
* ``TestCase.run_bzr_subprocess`` defaults to supplying the
5447
``--no-plugins`` parameter to ensure test reproducability, and avoid
5448
problems with system-wide installed plugins. (John Arbash Meinel)
5449
5450
* Unique tree root ids are now supported. Newly created trees still
5451
use the common root id for compatibility with bzr versions before 0.12.
5452
(Aaron Bentley)
5453
5454
* ``WorkingTree.set_root_id(None)`` is now deprecated. Please
5455
pass in ``inventory.ROOT_ID`` if you want the default root id value.
5456
(Robert Collins, John Arbash Meinel)
5457
5458
* New method ``WorkingTree.flush()`` which will write the current memory
5459
inventory out to disk. At the same time, ``read_working_inventory`` will
5460
no longer trash the current tree inventory if it has been modified within
5461
the current lock, and the tree will now ``flush()`` automatically on
5462
``unlock()``. ``WorkingTree.set_root_id()`` has been updated to take
5463
advantage of this functionality. (Robert Collins, John Arbash Meinel)
5464
5465
* ``bzrlib.tsort.merge_sorted`` now accepts ``generate_revnos``. This
5466
parameter will cause it to add another column to its output, which
5467
contains the dotted-decimal revno for each revision, as a tuple.
5468
(Robert Collins)
5469
5470
* ``LogFormatter.show_merge`` is deprecated in favour of
5471
``LogFormatter.show_merge_revno``. (Robert Collins)
5472
5473
BUG FIXES:
5474
5475
* Avoid circular imports by creating a deprecated function for
5476
``bzrlib.tree.RevisionTree``. Callers should have been using
5477
``bzrlib.revisontree.RevisionTree`` anyway. (John Arbash Meinel,
5478
#63360, #66349)
5479
5480
* Don't use ``socket.MSG_WAITALL`` as it doesn't exist on all
5481
platforms. (Martin Pool, #66356)
5482
5483
* Don't require ``Content-Type`` in range responses. Assume they are a
5484
single range if ``Content-Type`` does not exist.
5485
(John Arbash Meinel, #62473)
5486
5487
* bzr branch/pull no longer complain about progress bar cleanup when
5488
interrupted during fetch. (Aaron Bentley, #54000)
5489
5490
* ``WorkingTree.set_parent_trees()`` uses the trees to directly write
5491
the basis inventory, rather than going through the repository. This
5492
allows us to have 1 inventory read, and 2 inventory writes when
5493
committing a new tree. (John Arbash Meinel)
5494
5495
* When reverting, files that are not locally modified that do not exist
5496
in the target are deleted, not just unversioned (Aaron Bentley)
5497
5498
* When trying to acquire a lock, don't fail immediately. Instead, try
5499
a few times (up to 1 hour) before timing out. Also, report why the
5500
lock is unavailable (John Arbash Meinel, #43521, #49556)
5501
5502
* Leave HttpTransportBase daughter classes decides how they
5503
implement cloning. (Vincent Ladeuil, #61606)
5504
5505
* diff3 does not indicate conflicts on clean merge. (Aaron Bentley)
5506
5507
* If a commit fails, the commit message is stored in a file at the root of
5508
the tree for later commit. (Cheuksan Edward Wang, Stefan Metzmacher,
5509
#32054)
5510
5511
TESTING:
5512
5513
* New test base class TestCaseWithMemoryTransport offers memory-only
5514
testing facilities: its not suitable for tests that need to mutate disk
5515
state, but most tests should not need that and should be converted to
5516
TestCaseWithMemoryTransport. (Robert Collins)
5517
5518
* ``TestCase.make_branch_and_memory_tree`` now takes a format
5519
option to set the BzrDir, Repository and Branch formats of the
5520

BUG FIXES:
5531
5532
* Test suite hangs on windows fixed. (Andrew Bennets, Alexander Belchenko).
5533
5534
* Commit performance regression fixed. (Aaron Bentley, Robert Collins, John
5535
Arbash Meinel).

5538
-----------------------
5539
5540
IMPROVEMENTS:
5541
5542
* Knit files now wait to create their contents until the first data is
5543
added. The old code used to create an empty .knit and a .kndx with just
5544
the header. However, this caused a lot of extra round trips over sftp.
5545
This can change the time for ``bzr push`` to create a new remote branch
5546
from 160s down to 100s. This also affects ``bzr commit`` performance when
5547
adding new files, ``bzr commit`` on a new kernel-like tree drops from 50s
5548
down to 40s (John Arbash Meinel, #44692)
5549
5550
* When an entire subtree has been deleted, commit will now report that
5551
just the top of the subtree has been deleted, rather than reporting
5552
all the individual items. (Robert Collins)
5553
5554
* Commit performs one less XML parse. (Robert Collins)
5555
5556
* ``bzr checkout`` now operates on readonly branches as well
5557
as readwrite branches. This fixes bug #39542. (Robert Collins)
5558
5559
* ``bzr bind`` no longer synchronises history with the master branch.
5560
Binding should be followed by an update or push to synchronise the
5561
two branches. This is closely related to the fix for bug #39542.
5562
(Robert Collins)
5563
5564
* ``bzrlib.lazy_import.lazy_import`` function to create on-demand
5565
objects. This allows all imports to stay at the global scope, but
5566
modules will not actually be imported if they are not used.
5567
(John Arbash Meinel)
5568
5569
* Support ``bzr://`` and ``bzr+ssh://`` urls to work with the new RPC-based
5570
transport which will be used with the upcoming high-performance smart
5571
server. The new command ``bzr serve`` will invoke bzr in server mode,
5572
which processes these requests. (Andrew Bennetts, Robert Collins, Martin
5573
Pool)
5574
5575
* New command ``bzr version-info`` which can be used to get a summary
5576
of the current state of the tree. This is especially useful as part
5577
of a build commands. See ``doc/version_info.txt`` for more information
5578
(John Arbash Meinel)
5579
5580
BUG FIXES:
5581
5582
* ``'bzr inventory [FILE...]'`` allows restricting the file list to a
5583
specific set of files. (John Arbash Meinel, #3631)
5584
5585
* Don't abort when annotating empty files (John Arbash Meinel, #56814)
5586
5587
* Add ``Stanza.to_unicode()`` which can be passed to another Stanza
5588
when nesting stanzas. Also, add ``read_stanza_unicode`` to handle when
5589
reading a nested Stanza. (John Arbash Meinel)
5590
5591
* Transform._set_mode() needs to stat the right file.
5592
(John Arbash Meinel, #56549)
5593
5594
* Raise WeaveFormatError rather than StopIteration when trying to read
5595
an empty Weave file. (John Arbash Meinel, #46871)
5596
5597
* Don't access e.code for generic URLErrors, only HTTPErrors have .code.
5598
(Vincent Ladeuil, #59835)
5599
5600
* Handle boundary="" lines properly to allow access through a Squid proxy.
5601
(John Arbash Meinel, #57723)
5602
5603
* revert now removes newly-added directories (Aaron Bentley, #54172)
5604
5605
* ``bzr upgrade sftp://`` shouldn't fail to upgrade v6 branches if there
5606
isn't a working tree. (David Allouche, #40679)
5607
5608
* Give nicer error messages when a user supplies an invalid --revision
5609
parameter. (John Arbash Meinel, #55420)
5610
5611
* Handle when LANG is not recognized by python. Emit a warning, but
5612
just revert to using 'ascii'. (John Arbash Meinel, #35392)
5613
5614
* Don't use ``preexec_fn`` on win32, as it is not supported by subprocess.
5615
(John Arbash Meinel)
5616
5617
* Skip specific tests when the dependencies aren't met. This includes
5618
some ``setup.py`` tests when ``python-dev`` is not available, and
5619
some tests that depend on paramiko. (John Arbash Meinel, Mattheiu Moy)
5620
5621
* Fallback to Paramiko properly, if no ``ssh`` executable exists on
5622
the system. (Andrew Bennetts, John Arbash Meinel)
5623
5624
* ``Branch.bind(other_branch)`` no longer takes a write lock on the
5625
other branch, and will not push or pull between the two branches.
5626
API users will need to perform a push or pull or update operation if they
5627
require branch synchronisation to take place. (Robert Collins, #47344)
5628
5629
* When creating a tarball or zipfile export, export unicode names as utf-8
5630
paths. This may not work perfectly on all platforms, but has the best
5631
chance of working in the common case. (John Arbash Meinel, #56816)
5632
5633
* When committing, only files that exist in working tree or basis tree
5634
may be specified (Aaron Bentley, #50793)
5635
5636
PORTABILITY:
5637
5638
* Fixes to run on Python 2.5 (Brian M. Carlson, Martin Pool, Marien Zwart)
5639
5640
INTERNALS:
5641
5642
* TestCaseInTempDir now creates a separate directory for HOME, rather
5643
than having HOME set to the same location as the working directory.
5644
(John Arbash Meinel)
5645
5646
* ``run_bzr_subprocess()`` can take an optional ``env_changes={}`` parameter,
5647
which will update os.environ inside the spawned child. It also can
5648
take a ``universal_newlines=True``, which helps when checking the output
5649
of the command. (John Arbash Meinel)
5650
5651
* Refactor SFTP vendors to allow easier re-use when ssh is used.
5652
(Andrew Bennetts)
5653
5654
* ``Transport.list_dir()`` and ``Transport.iter_files_recursive()`` should always
5655
return urlescaped paths. This is now tested (there were bugs in a few
5656
of the transports) (Andrew Bennetts, David Allouche, John Arbash Meinel)
5657
5658
* New utility function ``symbol_versioning.deprecation_string``. Returns the
5659
formatted string for a callable, deprecation format pair. (Robert Collins)
5660
5661
* New TestCase helper applyDeprecated. This allows you to call a callable
5662
which is deprecated without it spewing to the screen, just by supplying
5663
the deprecation format string issued for it. (Robert Collins)
5664
5665
* Transport.append and Transport.put have been deprecated in favor of
5666
``.append_bytes``, ``.append_file``, ``.put_bytes``, and
5667
``.put_file``. This removes the ambiguity in what type of object the
5668
functions take. ``Transport.non_atomic_put_{bytes,file}`` has also
5669
been added. Which works similarly to ``Transport.append()`` except for
5670
SFTP, it doesn't have a round trip when opening the file. Also, it
5671
provides functionality for creating a parent directory when trying
5672
to create a file, rather than raise NoSuchFile and forcing the
5673
caller to repeat their request.
5674
(John Arbash Meinel)
5675
5676
* WorkingTree has a new api ``unversion`` which allow the unversioning of
5677
entries by their file id. (Robert Collins)
5678
5679
* ``WorkingTree.pending_merges`` is deprecated. Please use the
5680
``get_parent_ids`` (introduced in 0.10) method instead. (Robert Collins)
5681
5682
* WorkingTree has a new ``lock_tree_write`` method which locks the branch for
5683
read rather than write. This is appropriate for actions which only need
5684
the branch data for reference rather than mutation. A new decorator
5685
``needs_tree_write_lock`` is provided in the workingtree module. Like the
5686
``needs_read_lock`` and ``needs_write_lock`` decorators this allows static
5687
declaration of the locking requirements of a function to ensure that
5688
a lock is taken out for casual scripts. (Robert Collins, #54107)
5689
5690
* All WorkingTree methods which write to the tree, but not to the branch
5691
have been converted to use ``needs_tree_write_lock`` rather than
5692
``needs_write_lock``. Also converted is the revert, conflicts and tree
5693
transform modules. This provides a modest performance improvement on
5694
metadir style trees, due to the reduce lock-acquisition, and a more
5695
significant performance improvement on lightweight checkouts from
5696
remote branches, where trivial operations used to pay a significant
5697
penalty. It also provides the basis for allowing readonly checkouts.
5698
(Robert Collins)
5699
5700
* Special case importing the standard library 'copy' module. This shaves
5701
off 40ms of startup time, while retaining compatibility. See:
5702
``bzrlib/inspect_for_copy.py`` for more details. (John Arbash Meinel)
5703
5704
* WorkingTree has a new parent class MutableTree which represents the
5705
specialisations of Tree which are able to be altered. (Robert Collins)
5706
5707
* New methods mkdir and ``put_file_bytes_non_atomic`` on MutableTree that
5708
mutate the tree and its contents. (Robert Collins)
5709
5710
* Transport behaviour at the root of the URL is now defined and tested.
5711
(Andrew Bennetts, Robert Collins)
5712
5713
TESTING:
5714
5715
* New test helper classs MemoryTree. This is typically accessed via
5716
``self.make_branch_and_memory_tree()`` in test cases. (Robert Collins)
5717
5718
* Add ``start_bzr_subprocess`` and ``stop_bzr_subprocess`` to allow test
5719
code to continue running concurrently with a subprocess of bzr.
5720
(Andrew Bennetts, Robert Collins)
5721
5722
* Add a new method ``Transport.get_smart_client()``. This is provided to
5723
allow upgrades to a richer interface than the VFS one provided by
5724
Transport. (Andrew Bennetts, Martin Pool)
5725
5726
bzr 0.10 2006-08-29
5727
--------------------
5728
5729
IMPROVEMENTS:
5730
* 'merge' now takes --uncommitted, to apply uncommitted changes from a
5731
tree. (Aaron Bentley)
5732
5733
* 'bzr add --file-ids-from' can be used to specify another path to use
5734
for creating file ids, rather than generating all new ones. Internally,
5735
the 'action' passed to ``smart_add_tree()`` can return ``file_ids`` that
5736
will be used, rather than having bzrlib generate new ones.
5737
(John Arbash Meinel, #55781)
5738
5739
* ``bzr selftest --benchmark`` now allows a ``--cache-dir`` parameter.
5740
This will cache some of the intermediate trees, and decrease the
5741
setup time for benchmark tests. (John Arbash Meinel)
5742
5743
* Inverse forms are provided for all boolean options. For example,
5744
--strict has --no-strict, --no-recurse has --recurse (Aaron Bentley)
5745
5746
* Serialize out Inventories directly, rather than using ElementTree.
5747
Writing out a kernel sized inventory drops from 2s down to ~350ms.
5748
(Robert Collins, John Arbash Meinel)
5749
5750
BUG FIXES:
5751
5752
* Help diffutils 2.8.4 get along with binary tests (Marien Zwart: #57614)
5753
5754
* Change LockDir so that if the lock directory doesn't exist when
5755
``lock_write()`` is called, an attempt will be made to create it.
5756
(John Arbash Meinel, #56974)
5757
5758
* ``bzr uncommit`` preserves pending merges. (John Arbash Meinel, #57660)
5759
5760
* Active FTP transport now works as intended. (ghozzy, #56472)
5761
5762
* Really fix mutter() so that it won't ever raise a UnicodeError.
5763
It means it is possible for ~/.bzr.log to contain non UTF-8 characters.
5764
But it is a debugging log, not a real user file.
5765
(John Arbash Meinel, #56947, #53880)
5766
5767
* Change Command handle to allow Unicode command and options.
5768
At present we cannot register Unicode command names, so we will get
5769
BzrCommandError('unknown command'), or BzrCommandError('unknown option')
5770
But that is better than a UnicodeError + a traceback.
5771
(John Arbash Meinel, #57123)
5772
5773
* Handle TZ=UTC properly when reading/writing revisions.
5774
(John Arbash Meinel, #55783, #56290)
5775
5776
* Use ``GPG_TTY`` to allow gpg --cl to work with gpg-agent in a pipeline,
5777
(passing text to sign in on stdin). (John Arbash Meinel, #54468)
5778
5779
* External diff does the right thing for binaries even in foreign
5780
languages. (John Arbash Meinel, #56307)
5781
5782
* Testament handles more cases when content is unicode. Specific bug was
5783
in handling of revision properties.
5784
(John Arbash Meinel, Holger Krekel, #54723)
5785
5786
* The bzr selftest was failing on installed versions due to a bug in a new
5787
test helper. (John Arbash Meinel, Robert Collins, #58057)
5788
5789
INTERNALS:
5790
5791
* ``bzrlib.cache_utf8`` contains ``encode()`` and ``decode()`` functions
5792
which can be used to cache the conversion between utf8 and Unicode.
5793
Especially helpful for some of the knit annotation code, which has to
5794
convert revision ids to utf8 to annotate lines in storage.
5795
(John Arbash Meinel)
5796
5797
* ``setup.py`` now searches the filesystem to find all packages which
5798
need to be installed. This should help make the life of packagers
5799
easier. (John Arbash Meinel)
5800
5801
bzr 0.9.0 2006-08-11
5802
---------------------
5803
5804
SURPRISES:
5805
5806
* The hard-coded built-in ignore rules have been removed. There are
5807
now two rulesets which are enforced. A user global one in
5808
``~/.bazaar/ignore`` which will apply to every tree, and the tree
5809
specific one '.bzrignore'.
5810
``~/.bazaar/ignore`` will be created if it does not exist, but with
5811
a more conservative list than the old default.
5812
This fixes bugs with default rules being enforced no matter what.
5813
The old list of ignore rules from bzr is available by
5814
running 'bzr ignore --old-default-rules'.
5815
(Robert Collins, Martin Pool, John Arbash Meinel)
5816
5817
* 'branches.conf' has been changed to 'locations.conf', since it can apply
5818
to more locations than just branch locations.
5819
(Aaron Bentley)
5820
5821
IMPROVEMENTS:
5822
5823
* The revision specifier "revno:" is extended to accept the syntax
5824
revno:N:branch. For example,
5825
revno:42:http://bazaar-vcs.org/bzr/bzr.dev/ means revision 42 in
5826
bzr.dev. (Matthieu Moy)
5827
5828
* Tests updates to ensure proper URL handling, UNICODE support, and
5829
proper printing when the user's terminal encoding cannot display
5830
the path of a file that has been versioned.
5831
``bzr branch`` can take a target URL rather than only a local directory.
5832
``Branch.get_parent()/set_parent()`` now save a relative path if possible,
5833
and normalize the parent based on root, allowing access across
5834
different transports. (John Arbash Meinel, Wouter van Heyst, Martin Pool)
5835
(Malone #48906, #42699, #40675, #5281, #3980, #36363, #43689,
5836
#42517, #42514)
5837
5838
* On Unix, detect terminal width using an ioctl not just $COLUMNS.
5839
Use terminal width for single-line logs from ``bzr log --line`` and
5840
pending-merge display. (Robert Widhopf-Fenk, Gustavo Niemeyer)
5841
(Malone #3507)
5842
5843
* On Windows, detect terminal width using GetConsoleScreenBufferInfo.
5844
(Alexander Belchenko)
5845
5846
* Speedup improvement for 'date:'-revision search. (Guillaume Pinot).
5847
5848
* Show the correct number of revisions pushed when pushing a new branch.
5849
(Robert Collins).
5850
5851
* 'bzr selftest' now shows a progress bar with the number of tests, and
5852
progress made. 'make check' shows tests in -v mode, to be more useful
5853
for the PQM status window. (Robert Collins).
5854
When using a progress bar, failed tests are printed out, rather than
5855
being overwritten by the progress bar until the suite finishes.
5856
(John Arbash Meinel)
5857
5858
* 'bzr selftest --benchmark' will run a new benchmarking selftest.
5859
'bzr selftest --benchmark --lsprof-timed' will use lsprofile to generate
5860
profile data for the individual profiled calls, allowing for fine
5861
grained analysis of performance.
5862
(Robert Collins, Martin Pool).
5863
5864
* 'bzr commit' shows a progress bar. This is useful for commits over sftp
5865
where commit can take an appreciable time. (Robert Collins)
5866
5867
* 'bzr add' is now less verbose in telling you what ignore globs were
5868
matched by files being ignored. Instead it just tells you how many
5869
were ignored (because you might reasonably be expecting none to be
5870
ignored). 'bzr add -v' is unchanged and will report every ignored
5871
file. (Robert Collins).
5872
5873
* ftp now has a test server if medusa is installed. As part of testing,
5874
ftp support has been improved, including support for supplying a
5875
non-standard port. (John Arbash Meinel).
5876
5877
* 'bzr log --line' shows the revision number, and uses only the
5878
first line of the log message (#5162, Alexander Belchenko;
5879
Matthieu Moy)
5880
5881
* 'bzr status' has had the --all option removed. The 'bzr ls' command
5882
should be used to retrieve all versioned files. (Robert Collins)
5883
5884
* 'bzr bundle OTHER/BRANCH' will create a bundle which can be sent
5885
over email, and applied on the other end, while maintaining ancestry.
5886
This bundle can be applied with either 'bzr merge' or 'bzr pull',
5887
the same way you would apply another branch.
5888
(John Arbash Meinel, Aaron Bentley)
5889
5890
* 'bzr whoami' can now be used to set your identity from the command line,
5891
for a branch or globally. (Robey Pointer)
5892
5893
* 'bzr checkout' now aliased to 'bzr co', and 'bzr annotate' to 'bzr ann'.
5894
(Michael Ellerman)
5895
5896
* 'bzr revert DIRECTORY' now reverts the contents of the directory as well.
5897
(Aaron Bentley)
5898
5899
* 'bzr get sftp://foo' gives a better error when paramiko is not present.
5900
Also updates things like 'http+pycurl://' if pycurl is not present.
5901
(John Arbash Meinel) (Malone #47821, #52204)
5902
5903
* New env variable ``BZR_PROGRESS_BAR``, sets the default progress bar type.
5904
Can be set to 'none' or 'dummy' to disable the progress bar, 'dots' or
5905
'tty' to create the respective type. (John Arbash Meinel, #42197, #51107)
5906
5907
* Improve the help text for 'bzr diff' to explain what various options do.
5908
(John Arbash Meinel, #6391)
5909
5910
* 'bzr uncommit -r 10' now uncommits revisions 11.. rather than uncommitting
5911
revision 10. This makes -r10 more in line with what other commands do.
5912
'bzr uncommit' also now saves the pending merges of the revisions that
5913
were removed. So it is safe to uncommit after a merge, fix something,
5914
and commit again. (John Arbash Meinel, #32526, #31426)
5915
5916
* 'bzr init' now also works on remote locations.
5917
(Wouter van Heyst, #48904)
5918
5919
* HTTP support has been updated. When using pycurl we now support
5920
connection keep-alive, which reduces dns requests and round trips.
5921
And for both urllib and pycurl we support multi-range requests,
5922
which decreases the number of round-trips. Performance results for
5923
``bzr branch http://bazaar-vcs.org/bzr/bzr.dev/`` indicate
5924
http branching is now 2-3x faster, and ``bzr pull`` in an existing
5925
branch is as much as 4x faster.
5926
(Michael Ellerman, Johan Rydberg, John Arbash Meinel, #46768)
5927
5928
* Performance improvements for sftp. Branching and pulling are now up to
5929
2x faster. Utilize paramiko.readv() support for async requests if it
5930
is available (paramiko > 1.6) (John Arbash Meinel)
5931
5932
BUG FIXES:
5933
5934
* Fix shadowed definition of TestLocationConfig that caused some
5935
tests not to run.
5936
(Erik Bågfors, Michael Ellerman, Martin Pool, #32587)
5937
5938
* Fix unnecessary requirement of sign-my-commits that it be run from
5939
a working directory. (Martin Pool, Robert Collins)
5940
5941
* 'bzr push location' will only remember the push location if it succeeds
5942
in connecting to the remote location. (John Arbash Meinel, #49742)
5943
5944
* 'bzr revert' no longer toggles the executable bit on win32
5945
(John Arbash Meinel, #45010)
5946
5947
* Handle broken pipe under win32 correctly. (John Arbash Meinel)
5948
5949
* sftp tests now work correctly on win32 if you have a newer paramiko
5950
(John Arbash Meinel)
5951
5952
* Cleanup win32 test suite, and general cleanup of places where
5953
file handles were being held open. (John Arbash Meinel)
5954
5955
* When specifying filenames for 'diff -r x..y', the name of the file in the
5956
working directory can be used, even if its name is different in both x
5957
and y.
5958
5959
* File-ids containing single- or double-quotes are handled correctly by
5960
push. (Aaron Bentley, #52227)
5961
5962
* Normalize unicode filenames to ensure cross-platform consistency.
5963
(John Arbash Meinel, #43689)
5964
5965
* The argument parser can now handle '-' as an argument. Currently
5966
no code interprets it specially (it is mostly handled as a file named
5967
'-'). But plugins, and future operations can use it.
5968
(John Arbash meinel, #50984)
5969
5970
* Bundles can properly read binary files with a plain '\r' in them.
5971
(John Arbash Meinel, #51927)
5972
5973
* Tuning ``iter_entries()`` to be more efficient (John Arbash Meinel, #5444)
5974
5975
* Lots of win32 fixes (the test suite passes again).
5976
(John Arbash Meinel, #50155)
5977
5978
* Handle openbsd returning None for sys.getfilesystemencoding() (#41183)
5979
5980
* Support ftp APPE (append) to allow Knits to be used over ftp (#42592)
5981
5982
* Removals are only committed if they match the filespec (or if there is
5983
no filespec). (#46635, Aaron Bentley)
5984
5985
* smart-add recurses through all supplied directories
5986
(John Arbash Meinel, #52578)
5987
5988
* Make the bundle reader extra lines before and after the bundle text.
5989
This allows you to parse an email with the bundle inline.
5990
(John Arbash Meinel, #49182)
5991
5992
* Change the file id generator to squash a little bit more. Helps when
5993
working with long filenames on windows. (Also helps for unicode filenames
5994
not generating hidden files). (John Arbash Meinel, #43801)
5995
5996
* Restore terminal mode on C-c while reading sftp password. (#48923,
5997
Nicholas Allen, Martin Pool)
5998
5999
* Timestamps are rounded to 1ms, and revision entries can be recreated
6000
exactly. (John Arbash Meinel, Jamie Wilkinson, #40693)
6001
6002
* Branch.base has changed to a URL, but ~/.bazaar/locations.conf should
6003
use local paths, since it is user visible (John Arbash Meinel, #53653)
6004
6005
* ``bzr status foo`` when foo was unversioned used to cause a full delta
6006
to be generated (John Arbash Meinel, #53638)
6007
6008
* When reading revision properties, an empty value should be considered
6009
the empty string, not None (John Arbash Meinel, #47782)
6010
6011
* ``bzr diff --diff-options`` can now handle binary files being changed.
6012
Also, the output is consistent when --diff-options is not supplied.
6013
(John Arbash Meinel, #54651, #52930)
6014
6015
* Use the right suffixes for loading plugins (John Arbash Meinel, #51810)
6016
6017
* Fix ``Branch.get_parent()`` to handle the case when the parent is not
6018
accessible (John Arbash Meinel, #52976)
6019
6020
INTERNALS:
6021
6022
* Combine the ignore rules into a single regex rather than looping over
6023
them to reduce the threshold where N^2 behaviour occurs in operations
6024
like status. (Jan Hudec, Robert Collins).
6025
6026
* Appending to ``bzrlib.DEFAULT_IGNORE`` is now deprecated. Instead, use
6027
one of the add functions in bzrlib.ignores. (John Arbash Meinel)
6028
6029
* 'bzr push' should only push the ancestry of the current revision, not
6030
all of the history in the repository. This is especially important for
6031
shared repositories. (John Arbash Meinel)
6032
6033
* ``bzrlib.delta.compare_trees`` now iterates in alphabetically sorted order,
6034
rather than randomly walking the inventories. (John Arbash Meinel)
6035
6036
* Doctests are now run in temporary directories which are cleaned up when
6037
they finish, rather than using special ScratchDir/ScratchBranch objects.
6038
(Martin Pool)
6039
6040
* Split ``check`` into separate methods on the branch and on the repository,
6041
so that it can be specialized in ways that are useful or efficient for
6042
different formats. (Martin Pool, Robert Collins)
6043
6044
* Deprecate ``Repository.all_revision_ids``; most methods don't really need
6045
the global revision graph but only that part leading up to a particular
6046
revision. (Martin Pool, Robert Collins)
6047
6048
* Add a BzrDirFormat ``control_formats`` list which allows for control formats
6049
that do not use '.bzr' to store their data - i.e. '.svn', '.hg' etc.
6050
(Robert Collins, Jelmer Vernooij).
6051
6052
* ``bzrlib.diff.external_diff`` can be redirected to any file-like object.
6053
Uses subprocess instead of spawnvp.
6054
(James Henstridge, John Arbash Meinel, #4047, #48914)
6055
6056
* New command line option '--profile-imports', which will install a custom
6057
importer to log time to import modules and regex compilation time to
6058
sys.stderr (John Arbash Meinel)
6059
6060
* 'EmptyTree' is now deprecated, please use ``repository.revision_tree(None)``
6061
instead. (Robert Collins)
6062
6063
* "RevisionTree" is now in bzrlib/revisiontree.py. (Robert Collins)

6120
bzr 0.8 2006-05-08
6121
-------------------
6122
6123
NOTES WHEN UPGRADING:
6124
6125
Release 0.8 of bzr introduces a new format for history storage, called
6126
'knit', as an evolution of to the 'weave' format used in 0.7. Local
6127
and remote operations are faster using knits than weaves. Several
6128
operations including 'init', 'init-repo', and 'upgrade' take a
6129
--format option that controls this. Branching from an existing branch
6130
will keep the same format.
6131
6132
It is possible to merge, pull and push between branches of different
6133
formats but this is slower than moving data between homogenous
6134
branches. It is therefore recommended (but not required) that you
6135
upgrade all branches for a project at the same time. Information on
6136
formats is shown by 'bzr info'.
6137
6138
bzr 0.8 now allows creation of 'repositories', which hold the history
6139
of files and revisions for several branches. Previously bzr kept all
6140
the history for a branch within the .bzr directory at the root of the
6141
branch, and this is still the default. To create a repository, use
6142
the new 'bzr init-repo' command. Branches exist as directories under
6143
the repository and contain just a small amount of information
6144
indicating the current revision of the branch.
6145
6146
bzr 0.8 also supports 'checkouts', which are similar to in cvs and
6147
subversion. Checkouts are associated with a branch (optionally in a
6148
repository), which contains all the historical information. The
6149
result is that a checkout can be deleted without losing any
6150
already-committed revisions. A new 'update' command is also available.
6151
6152
Repositories and checkouts are not supported with the 0.7 storage
6153
format. To use them you must upgrad to either knits, or to the
6154
'metaweave' format, which uses weaves but changes the .bzr directory
6155
arrangement.
6156
6157
6158
IMPROVEMENTS:
6159
6160
* Sftp paths can now be relative, or local, according to the lftp
6161
convention. Paths now take the form::
6162
6163
sftp://user:pass@host:port/~/relative/path
6164
or
6165
sftp://user:pass@host:port/absolute/path
6166
6167
* The FTP transport now tries to reconnect after a temporary
6168
failure. ftp put is made atomic. (Matthieu Moy)
6169
6170
* The FTP transport now maintains a pool of connections, and
6171
reuses them to avoid multiple connections to the same host (like
6172
sftp did). (Daniel Silverstone)
6173
6174
* The ``bzr_man.py`` file has been removed. To create the man page now,
6175
use ``./generate_docs.py man``. The new program can also create other files.
6176
Run ``python generate_docs.py --help`` for usage information.
6177
(Hans Ulrich Niedermann & James Blackwell).
6178
6179
* Man Page now gives full help (James Blackwell).
6180
Help also updated to reflect user config now being stored in .bazaar
6181
(Hans Ulrich Niedermann)
6182
6183
* It's now possible to set aliases in bazaar.conf (Erik Bågfors)
6184
6185
* Pull now accepts a --revision argument (Erik Bågfors)
6186
6187
* ``bzr re-sign`` now allows multiple revisions to be supplied on the command
6188
line. You can now use the following command to sign all of your old
6189
commits::
6190
6191
find .bzr/revision-store// -name my@email-* \
6192
| sed 's/.*\/\/..\///' \
6193
| xargs bzr re-sign
6194
6195
* Upgrade can now upgrade over the network. (Robert Collins)
6196
6197
* Two new commands 'bzr checkout' and 'bzr update' allow for CVS/SVN-alike
6198
behaviour. By default they will cache history in the checkout, but
6199
with --lightweight almost all data is kept in the master branch.
6200
(Robert Collins)
6201
6202
* 'revert' unversions newly-versioned files, instead of deleting them.
6203
6204
* 'merge' is more robust. Conflict messages have changed.
6205
6206
* 'merge' and 'revert' no longer clobber existing files that end in '~' or
6207
'.moved'.
6208
6209
* Default log format can be set in configuration and plugins can register
6210
their own formatters. (Erik Bågfors)
6211
6212
* New 'reconcile' command will check branch consistency and repair indexes
6213
that can become out of sync in pre 0.8 formats. (Robert Collins,
6214
Daniel Silverstone)
6215
6216
* New 'bzr init --format' and 'bzr upgrade --format' option to control
6217
what storage format is created or produced. (Robert Collins,
6218
Martin Pool)
6219
6220
* Add parent location to 'bzr info', if there is one. (Olaf Conradi)
6221
6222
* New developer commands 'weave-list' and 'weave-join'. (Martin Pool)
6223
6224
* New 'init-repository' command, plus support for repositories in 'init'
6225
and 'branch' (Aaron Bentley, Erik Bågfors, Robert Collins)
6226
6227
* Improve output of 'info' command. Show all relevant locations related to
6228
working tree, branch and repository. Use kibibytes for binary quantities.
6229
Fix off-by-one error in missing revisions of working tree. Make 'info'
6230
work on branches, repositories and remote locations. Show locations
6231
relative to the shared repository, if applicable. Show locking status
6232
of locations. (Olaf Conradi)
6233
6234
* Diff and merge now safely handle binary files. (Aaron Bentley)
6235
6236
* 'pull' and 'push' now normalise the revision history, so that any two
6237
branches with the same tip revision will have the same output from 'log'.
6238
(Robert Collins)
6239
6240
* 'merge' accepts --remember option to store parent location, like 'push'
6241
and 'pull'. (Olaf Conradi)
6242
6243
* bzr status and diff when files given as arguments do not exist
6244
in the relevant trees. (Martin Pool, #3619)
6245
6246
* Add '.hg' to the default ignore list. (Martin Pool)
6247
6248
* 'knit' is now the default disk format. This improves disk performance and
6249
utilization, increases incremental pull performance, robustness with SFTP
6250
and allows checkouts over SFTP to perform acceptably.
6251
The initial Knit code was contributed by Johan Rydberg based on a
6252
specification by Martin Pool.
6253
(Robert Collins, Aaron Bentley, Johan Rydberg, Martin Pool).
6254
6255
* New tool to generate all-in-one html version of the manual. (Alexander
6256
Belchenko)
6257
6258
* Hitting CTRL-C while doing an SFTP push will no longer cause stale locks
6259
to be left in the SFTP repository. (Robert Collins, Martin Pool).
6260
6261
* New option 'diff --prefix' to control how files are named in diff
6262
output, with shortcuts '-p0' and '-p1' corresponding to the options for
6263
GNU patch. (Alexander Belchenko, Goffredo Baroncelli, Martin Pool)
6264
6265
* Add --revision option to 'annotate' command. (Olaf Conradi)
6266
6267
* If bzr shows an unexpected revision-history after pulling (perhaps due
6268
to a reweave) it can now be corrected by 'bzr reconcile'.
6269
(Robert Collins)
6270
6271
CHANGES:
6272
6273
* Commit is now verbose by default, and shows changed filenames and the
6274
new revision number. (Robert Collins, Martin Pool)
6275
6276
* Unify 'mv', 'move', 'rename'. (Matthew Fuller, #5379)
6277
6278
* 'bzr -h' shows help. (Martin Pool, Ian Bicking, #35940)
6279
6280
* Make 'pull' and 'push' remember location on failure using --remember.
6281
(Olaf Conradi)
6282
6283
* For compatibility, make old format for using weaves inside metadir
6284
available as 'metaweave' format. Rename format 'metadir' to 'default'.
6285
Clean up help for option --format in commands 'init', 'init-repo' and
6286
'upgrade'. (Olaf Conradi)
6287
6288
INTERNALS:
6289
6290
* The internal storage of history, and logical branch identity have now
6291
been split into Branch, and Repository. The common locking and file
6292
management routines are now in bzrlib.lockablefiles.
6293
(Aaron Bentley, Robert Collins, Martin Pool)
6294
6295
* Transports can now raise DependencyNotPresent if they need a library
6296
which is not installed, and then another implementation will be
6297
tried. (Martin Pool)
6298
6299
* Remove obsolete (and no-op) `decode` parameter to `Transport.get`.
6300
(Martin Pool)
6301
6302
* Using Tree Transform for merge, revert, tree-building
6303
6304
* WorkingTree.create, Branch.create, ``WorkingTree.create_standalone``,
6305
Branch.initialize are now deprecated. Please see ``BzrDir.create_*`` for
6306
replacement API's. (Robert Collins)
6307
6308
* New BzrDir class represents the .bzr control directory and manages
6309
formatting issues. (Robert Collins)
6310
6311
* New repository.InterRepository class encapsulates Repository to
6312
Repository actions and allows for clean selection of optimised code
6313
paths. (Robert Collins)
6314
6315
* ``bzrlib.fetch.fetch`` and ``bzrlib.fetch.greedy_fetch`` are now
6316
deprecated, please use ``branch.fetch`` or ``repository.fetch``
6317
depending on your needs. (Robert Collins)
6318
6319
* deprecated methods now have a ``is_deprecated`` flag on them that can
6320
be checked, if you need to determine whether a given callable is
6321
deprecated at runtime. (Robert Collins)
6322
6323
* Progress bars are now nested - see
6324
``bzrlib.ui.ui_factory.nested_progress_bar``.
6325
(Robert Collins, Robey Pointer)
6326
6327
* New API call ``get_format_description()`` for each type of format.
6328
(Olaf Conradi)
6329
6330
* Changed ``branch.set_parent()`` to accept None to remove parent.
6331
(Olaf Conradi)
6332
6333
* Deprecated BzrError AmbiguousBase. (Olaf Conradi)
6334
6335
* WorkingTree.branch is now a read only property. (Robert Collins)
6336
6337
* bzrlib.ui.text.TextUIFactory now accepts a ``bar_type`` parameter which
6338
can be None or a factory that will create a progress bar. This is
6339
useful for testing or for overriding the bzrlib.progress heuristic.
6340
(Robert Collins)
6341
6342
* New API method ``get_physical_lock_status()`` to query locks present on a
6343
transport. (Olaf Conradi)
6344
6345
* Repository.reconcile now takes a thorough keyword parameter to allow
6346
requesting an indepth reconciliation, rather than just a data-loss
6347
check. (Robert Collins)
6348
6349
* ``bzrlib.ui.ui_factory protocol`` now supports ``get_boolean`` to prompt
6350
the user for yes/no style input. (Robert Collins)
6351
6352
TESTING:
6353
6354
* SFTP tests now shortcut the SSH negotiation, reducing test overhead
6355
for testing SFTP protocol support. (Robey Pointer)
6356
6357
* Branch formats are now tested once per implementation (see ``bzrlib.
6358
tests.branch_implementations``. This is analagous to the transport
6359
interface tests, and has been followed up with working tree,
6360
repository and BzrDir tests. (Robert Collins)
6361
6362
* New test base class TestCaseWithTransport provides a transport aware
6363
test environment, useful for testing any transport-interface using
6364
code. The test suite option --transport controls the transport used
6365
by this class (when its not being used as part of implementation
6366
contract testing). (Robert Collins)
6367
6368
* Close logging handler on disabling the test log. This will remove the
6369
handler from the internal list inside python's logging module,
6370
preventing shutdown from closing it twice. (Olaf Conradi)
6371
6372
* Move test case for uncommit to blackbox tests. (Olaf Conradi)
6373
6374
* ``run_bzr`` and ``run_bzr_captured`` now accept a 'stdin="foo"'
6375
parameter which will provide String("foo") to the command as its stdin.

------------------
6379
6380
CHANGES:
6381
6382
* .bzrignore is excluded from exports, on the grounds that it's a bzr
6383
internal-use file and may not be wanted. (Jamie Wilkinson)
6384
6385
* The "bzr directories" command were removed in favor of the new
6386
--kind option to the "bzr inventory" command. To list all
6387
versioned directories, now use "bzr inventory --kind directory".
6388
(Johan Rydberg)
6389
6390
* Under Windows configuration directory is now ``%APPDATA%\bazaar\2.0``
6391
by default. (John Arbash Meinel)
6392
6393
* The parent of Bzr configuration directory can be set by ``BZR_HOME``
6394
environment variable. Now the path for it is searched in ``BZR_HOME``,
6395
then in HOME. Under Windows the order is: ``BZR_HOME``, ``APPDATA``
6396
(usually points to ``C:\Documents and Settings\User Name\Application Data``),
6397
``HOME``. (John Arbash Meinel)
6398
6399
* Plugins with the same name in different directories in the bzr plugin
6400
path are no longer loaded: only the first successfully loaded one is
6401
used. (Robert Collins)
6402
6403
* Use systems' external ssh command to open connections if possible.
6404
This gives better integration with user settings such as ProxyCommand.
6405
(James Henstridge)
6406
6407
* Permissions on files underneath .bzr/ are inherited from the .bzr
6408
directory. So for a shared repository, simply doing 'chmod -R g+w .bzr/'
6409
will mean that future file will be created with group write permissions.
6410
6411
* configure.in and config.guess are no longer in the builtin default
6412
ignore list.
6413
6414
* '.sw[nop]' pattern ignored, to ignore vim swap files for nameless
6415
files. (John Arbash Meinel, Martin Pool)
6416
6417
IMPROVEMENTS:
6418
6419
* "bzr INIT dir" now initializes the specified directory, and creates
6420
it if it does not exist. (John Arbash Meinel)
6421
6422
* New remerge command (Aaron Bentley)
6423
6424
* Better zsh completion script. (Steve Borho)
6425
6426
* 'bzr diff' now returns 1 when there are changes in the working
6427
tree. (Robert Collins)
6428
6429
* 'bzr push' now exists and can push changes to a remote location.
6430
This uses the transport infrastructure, and can store the remote
6431
location in the ~/.bazaar/branches.conf configuration file.
6432
(Robert Collins)
6433
6434
* Test directories are only kept if the test fails and the user requests
6435
that they be kept.
6436
6437
* Tweaks to short log printing
6438
6439
* Added branch nicks, new nick command, printing them in log output.
6440
(Aaron Bentley)
6441
6442
* If ``$BZR_PDB`` is set, pop into the debugger when an uncaught exception
6443
occurs. (Martin Pool)
6444
6445
* Accept 'bzr resolved' (an alias for 'bzr resolve'), as this is
6446
the same as Subversion. (Martin Pool)
6447
6448
* New ftp transport support (on ftplib), for ftp:// and aftp://
6449
URLs. (Daniel Silverstone)
6450
6451
* Commit editor temporary files now start with ``bzr_log.``, to allow
6452
text editors to match the file name and set up appropriate modes or
6453
settings. (Magnus Therning)
6454
6455
* Improved performance when integrating changes from a remote weave.
6456
(Goffredo Baroncelli)
6457
6458
* Sftp will attempt to cache the connection, so it is more likely that
6459
a connection will be reused, rather than requiring multiple password
6460
requests.
6461
6462
* bzr revno now takes an optional argument indicating the branch whose
6463
revno should be printed. (Michael Ellerman)
6464
6465
* bzr cat defaults to printing the last version of the file.
6466
(Matthieu Moy, #3632)
6467
6468
* New global option 'bzr --lsprof COMMAND' runs bzr under the lsprof
6469
profiler. (Denys Duchier)
6470
6471
* Faster commits by reading only the headers of affected weave files.
6472
(Denys Duchier)
6473
6474
* 'bzr add' now takes a --dry-run parameter which shows you what would be
6475
added, but doesn't actually add anything. (Michael Ellerman)
6476
6477
* 'bzr add' now lists how many files were ignored per glob. add --verbose
6478
lists the specific files. (Aaron Bentley)
6479
6480
* 'bzr missing' now supports displaying changes in diverged trees and can
6481
be limited to show what either end of the comparison is missing.
6482
(Aaron Bently, with a little prompting from Daniel Silverstone)
6483
6484
BUG FIXES:
6485
6486
* SFTP can walk up to the root path without index errors. (Robert Collins)
6487
6488
* Fix bugs in running bzr with 'python -O'. (Martin Pool)
6489
6490
* Error when run with -OO
6491
6492
* Fix bug in reporting http errors that don't have an http error code.
6493
(Martin Pool)
6494
6495
* Handle more cases of pipe errors in display commands
6496
6497
* Change status to 3 for all errors
6498
6499
* Files that are added and unlinked before committing are completely
6500
ignored by diff and status
6501
6502
* Stores with some compressed texts and some uncompressed texts are now
6503
able to be used. (John A Meinel)
6504
6505
* Fix for bzr pull failing sometimes under windows
6506
6507
* Fix for sftp transport under windows when using interactive auth
6508
6509
* Show files which are both renamed and modified as such in 'bzr
6510
status' output. (Daniel Silverstone, #4503)
6511
6512
* Make annotate cope better with revisions committed without a valid
6513
email address. (Marien Zwart)
6514
6515
* Fix representation of tab characters in commit messages.
6516
(Harald Meland)
6517
6518
* List of plugin directories in ``BZR_PLUGIN_PATH`` environment variable is
6519
now parsed properly under Windows. (Alexander Belchenko)
6520
6521
* Show number of revisions pushed/pulled/merged. (Robey Pointer)
6522
6523
* Keep a cached copy of the basis inventory to speed up operations
6524
that need to refer to it. (Johan Rydberg, Martin Pool)
6525
6526
* Fix bugs in bzr status display of non-ascii characters.
6527
(Martin Pool)
6528
6529
* Remove Makefile.in from default ignore list.
6530
(Tollef Fog Heen, Martin Pool, #6413)
6531
6532
* Fix failure in 'bzr added'. (Nathan McCallum, Martin Pool)
6533
6534
TESTING:
6535
6536
* Fix selftest asking for passwords when there are no SFTP keys.
6537
(Robey Pointer, Jelmer Vernooij)
6538
6539
* Fix selftest run with 'python -O'. (Martin Pool)
6540
6541
* Fix HTTP tests under Windows. (John Arbash Meinel)
6542
6543
* Make tests work even if HOME is not set (Aaron Bentley)
6544
6545
* Updated ``build_tree`` to use fixed line-endings for tests which read
6546
the file cotents and compare. Make some tests use this to pass under
6547
Windows. (John Arbash Meinel)
6548
6549
* Skip stat and symlink tests under Windows. (Alexander Belchenko)
6550
6551
* Delay in selftest/testhashcash is now issued under win32 and Cygwin.
6552
(John Arbash Meinel)
6553
6554
* Use terminal width to align verbose test output. (Martin Pool)
6555
6556
* Blackbox tests are maintained within the bzrlib.tests.blackbox directory.
6557
If adding a new test script please add that to
6558
``bzrlib.tests.blackbox.__init__``. (Robert Collins)
6559
6560
* Much better error message if one of the test suites can't be
6561
imported. (Martin Pool)
6562
6563
* Make check now runs the test suite twice - once with the default locale,
6564
and once with all locales forced to C, to expose bugs. This is not
6565
trivially done within python, so for now its only triggered by running
6566
Make check. Integrators and packagers who wish to check for full
6567
platform support should run 'make check' to test the source.
6568
(Robert Collins)
6569
6570
* Tests can now run TestSkipped if they can't execute for any reason.
6571
(Martin Pool) (NB: TestSkipped should only be raised for correctable
6572
reasons - see the wiki spec ImprovingBzrTestSuite).
6573
6574
* Test sftp with relative, absolute-in-homedir and absolute-not-in-homedir
6575
paths for the transport tests. Introduce blackbox remote sftp tests that
6576
test the same permutations. (Robert Collins, Robey Pointer)
6577
6578
* Transport implementation tests are now independent of the local file
6579
system, which allows tests for esoteric transports, and for features
6580
not available in the local file system. They also repeat for variations
6581
on the URL scheme that can introduce issues in the transport code,
6582
see bzrlib.transport.TransportTestProviderAdapter() for this.
6583
(Robert Collins).
6584
6585
* ``TestCase.build_tree`` uses the transport interface to build trees,
6586
pass in a transport parameter to give it an existing connection.
6587
(Robert Collins).
6588
6589
INTERNALS:
6590
6591
* WorkingTree.pull has been split across Branch and WorkingTree,
6592
to allow Branch only pulls. (Robert Collins)
6593
6594
* ``commands.display_command`` now returns the result of the decorated
6595
function. (Robert Collins)
6596
6597
* LocationConfig now has a ``set_user_option(key, value)`` call to save
6598
a setting in its matching location section (a new one is created
6599
if needed). (Robert Collins)
6600
6601
* Branch has two new methods, ``get_push_location`` and
6602
``set_push_location`` to respectively, get and set the push location.
6603
(Robert Collins)
6604
6605
* ``commands.register_command`` now takes an optional flag to signal that
6606
the registrant is planning to decorate an existing command. When
6607
given multiple plugins registering a command is not an error, and
6608
the original command class (whether built in or a plugin based one) is
6609
returned to the caller. There is a new error 'MustUseDecorated' for
6610
signalling when a wrapping command should switch to the original
6611
version. (Robert Collins)
6612
6613
* Some option parsing errors will raise 'BzrOptionError', allowing
6614
granular detection for decorating commands. (Robert Collins).
6615
6616
* ``Branch.read_working_inventory`` has moved to
6617
``WorkingTree.read_working_inventory``. This necessitated changes to
6618
``Branch.get_root_id``, and a move of ``Branch.set_inventory`` to
6619
WorkingTree as well. To make it clear that a WorkingTree cannot always
6620
be obtained ``Branch.working_tree()`` will raise
6621
``errors.NoWorkingTree`` if one cannot be obtained. (Robert Collins)
6622
6623
* All pending merges operations from Branch are now on WorkingTree.
6624
(Robert Collins)
6625
6626
* The follow operations from Branch have moved to WorkingTree::
6627
6628
add()
6629
commit()
6630
move()
6631
rename_one()
6632
unknowns()
6633
6634
(Robert Collins)
6635
6636
* ``bzrlib.add.smart_add_branch`` is now ``smart_add_tree``. (Robert Collins)
6637
6638
* New "rio" serialization format, similar to rfc-822. (Martin Pool)
6639
6640
* Rename selftests to ``bzrlib.tests.test_foo``. (John A Meinel, Martin
6641
Pool)
6642
6643
* ``bzrlib.plugin.all_plugins`` has been changed from an attribute to a
6644
query method. (Robert Collins)
6645
6646
* New options to read only the table-of-contents of a weave.
6647
(Denys Duchier)
6648
6649
* Raise NoSuchFile when someone tries to add a non-existant file.
6650
(Michael Ellerman)
6651
6652
* Simplify handling of DivergedBranches in ``cmd_pull()``.
6653
(Michael Ellerman)
6654
6655
* Branch.controlfile* logic has moved to lockablefiles.LockableFiles, which
6656
is exposed as ``Branch().control_files``. Also this has been altered with the
6657
controlfile pre/suffix replaced by simple method names like 'get' and
6658
'put'. (Aaron Bentley, Robert Collins).
6659
6660
* Deprecated functions and methods can now be marked as such using the
6661
``bzrlib.symbol_versioning`` module. Marked method have their docstring
6662
updated and will issue a DeprecationWarning using the warnings module
6663
when they are used. (Robert Collins)
6664
6665
* ``bzrlib.osutils.safe_unicode`` now exists to provide parameter coercion
6666
for functions that need unicode strings. (Robert Collins)
6667
6668
bzr 0.6 2005-10-28
6669
------------------
6670
6671
IMPROVEMENTS:
6672
6673
* pull now takes --verbose to show you what revisions are added or removed
6674
(John A Meinel)
6675
6676
* merge now takes a --show-base option to include the base text in
6677
conflicts.
6678
(Aaron Bentley)
6679
6680
* The config files are now read using ConfigObj, so '=' should be used as
6681
a separator, not ':'.
6682
(Aaron Bentley)
6683
6684
* New 'bzr commit --strict' option refuses to commit if there are
6685
any unknown files in the tree. To commit, make sure all files are
6686
either ignored, added, or deleted. (Michael Ellerman)
6687
6688
* The config directory is now ~/.bazaar, and there is a single file
6689
~/.bazaar/bazaar.conf storing email, editor and other preferences.
6690
(Robert Collins)
6691
6692
* 'bzr add' no longer takes a --verbose option, and a --quiet option
6693
has been added that suppresses all output.
6694
6695
* Improved zsh completion support in contrib/zsh, from Clint
6696
Adams.
6697
6698
* Builtin 'bzr annotate' command, by Martin Pool with improvements from
6699
Goffredo Baroncelli.
6700
6701
* 'bzr check' now accepts -v for verbose reporting, and checks for
6702
ghosts in the branch. (Robert Collins)
6703
6704
* New command 're-sign' which will regenerate the gpg signature for
6705
a revision. (Robert Collins)
6706
6707
* If you set ``check_signatures=require`` for a path in
6708
``~/.bazaar/branches.conf`` then bzr will invoke your
6709
``gpg_signing_command`` (defaults to gpg) and record a digital signature
6710
of your commit. (Robert Collins)
6711
6712
* New sftp transport, based on Paramiko. (Robey Pointer)
6713
6714
* 'bzr pull' now accepts '--clobber' which will discard local changes
6715
and make this branch identical to the source branch. (Robert Collins)
6716
6717
* Just give a quieter warning if a plugin can't be loaded, and
6718
put the details in .bzr.log. (Martin Pool)
6719
6720
* 'bzr branch' will now set the branch-name to the last component of the
6721
output directory, if one was supplied.
6722
6723
* If the option ``post_commit`` is set to one (or more) python function
6724
names (must be in the bzrlib namespace), then they will be invoked
6725
after the commit has completed, with the branch and ``revision_id`` as
6726
parameters. (Robert Collins)
6727
6728
* Merge now has a retcode of 1 when conflicts occur. (Robert Collins)
6729
6730
* --merge-type weave is now supported for file contents. Tree-shape
6731
changes are still three-way based. (Martin Pool, Aaron Bentley)
6732
6733
* 'bzr check' allows the first revision on revision-history to have
6734
parents - something that is expected for cheap checkouts, and occurs
6735
when conversions from baz do not have all history. (Robert Collins).
6736
6737
* 'bzr merge' can now graft unrelated trees together, if your specify
6738
0 as a base. (Aaron Bentley)
6739
6740
* 'bzr commit branch' and 'bzr commit branch/file1 branch/file2' now work
6741
(Aaron Bentley)
6742
6743
* Add '.sconsign*' to default ignore list. (Alexander Belchenko)
6744
6745
* 'bzr merge --reprocess' minimizes conflicts
6746
6747
TESTING:
6748
6749
* The 'bzr selftest --pattern' option for has been removed, now
6750
test specifiers on the command line can be simple strings, or
6751
regexps, or both. (Robert Collins)
6752
6753
* Passing -v to selftest will now show the time each test took to
6754
complete, which will aid in analysing performance regressions and
6755
related questions. (Robert Collins)
6756
6757
* 'bzr selftest' runs all tests, even if one fails, unless '--one'
6758
is given. (Martin Pool)
6759
6760
* There is a new method for TestCaseInTempDir, assertFileEqual, which
6761
will check that a given content is equal to the content of the named
6762
file. (Robert Collins)
6763
6764
* Fix test suite's habit of leaving many temporary log files in $TMPDIR.
6765
(Martin Pool)
6766
6767
INTERNALS:
6768
6769
* New 'testament' command and concept for making gpg-signatures
6770
of revisions that are not tied to a particular internal
6771
representation. (Martin Pool).
6772
6773
* Per-revision properties ('revprops') as key-value associated
6774
strings on each revision created when the revision is committed.
6775
Intended mainly for the use of external tools. (Martin Pool).
6776
6777
* Config options have moved from bzrlib.osutils to bzrlib.config.
6778
(Robert Collins)
6779
6780
* Improved command line option definitions allowing explanations
6781
for individual options, among other things. Contributed by
6782
Magnus Therning.
6783
6784
* Config options have moved from bzrlib.osutils to bzrlib.config.
6785
Configuration is now done via the config.Config interface:
6786
Depending on whether you have a Branch, a Location or no information
6787
available, construct a ``*Config``, and use its ``signature_checking``,
6788
``username`` and ``user_email`` methods. (Robert Collins)
6789
6790
* Plugins are now loaded under bzrlib.plugins, not bzrlib.plugin, and
6791
they are made available for other plugins to use. You should not
6792
import other plugins during the ``__init__`` of your plugin though, as
6793
no ordering is guaranteed, and the plugins directory is not on the
6794
python path. (Robert Collins)
6795
6796
* Branch.relpath has been moved to WorkingTree.relpath. WorkingTree no
6797
no longer takes an inventory, rather it takes an option branch
6798
parameter, and if None is given will open the branch at basedir
6799
implicitly. (Robert Collins)
6800
6801
* Cleaner exception structure and error reporting. Suggested by
6802
Scott James Remnant. (Martin Pool)
6803
6804
* Branch.remove has been moved to WorkingTree, which has also gained
6805
``lock_read``, ``lock_write`` and ``unlock`` methods for convenience.
6806
(Robert Collins)
6807
6808
* Two decorators, ``needs_read_lock`` and ``needs_write_lock`` have been
6809
added to the branch module. Use these to cause a function to run in a
6810
read or write lock respectively. (Robert Collins)
6811
6812
* ``Branch.open_containing`` now returns a tuple (Branch, relative-path),
6813
which allows direct access to the common case of 'get me this file
6814
from its branch'. (Robert Collins)
6815
6816
* Transports can register using ``register_lazy_transport``, and they
6817
will be loaded when first used. (Martin Pool)
6818
6819
* 'pull' has been factored out of the command as ``WorkingTree.pull()``.
6820
A new option to WorkingTree.pull has been added, clobber, which will
6821
ignore diverged history and pull anyway.
6822
(Robert Collins)
6823
6824
* config.Config has a ``get_user_option`` call that accepts an option name.
6825
This will be looked up in branches.conf and bazaar.conf as normal.
6826
It is intended that this be used by plugins to support options -
6827
options of built in programs should have specific methods on the config.
6828
(Robert Collins)
6829
6830
* ``merge.merge_inner`` now has tempdir as an optional parameter.
6831
(Robert Collins)
6832
6833
* Tree.kind is not recorded at the top level of the hierarchy, as it was
6834
missing on EmptyTree, leading to a bug with merge on EmptyTrees.
6835
(Robert Collins)
6836
6837
* ``WorkingTree.__del__`` has been removed, it was non deterministic and not
6838
doing what it was intended to. See ``WorkingTree.__init__`` for a comment
6839
about future directions. (Robert Collins/Martin Pool)
6840
6841
* bzrlib.transport.http has been modified so that only 404 urllib errors
6842
are returned as NoSuchFile. Other exceptions will propogate as normal.
6843
This allows debuging of actual errors. (Robert Collins)
6844
6845
* bzrlib.transport.Transport now accepts *ONLY* url escaped relative paths
6846
to apis like 'put', 'get' and 'has'. This is to provide consistent
6847
behaviour - it operates on url's only. (Robert Collins)
6848
6849
* Transports can register using ``register_lazy_transport``, and they
6850
will be loaded when first used. (Martin Pool)
6851
6852
* ``merge_flex`` no longer calls ``conflict_handler.finalize()``, instead that
6853
is called by ``merge_inner``. This is so that the conflict count can be
6854
retrieved (and potentially manipulated) before returning to the caller
6855
of ``merge_inner``. Likewise 'merge' now returns the conflict count to the
6856
caller. (Robert Collins)
6857
6858
* ``revision.revision_graph`` can handle having only partial history for
6859
a revision - that is no revisions in the graph with no parents.
6860
(Robert Collins).
6861
6862
* New ``builtins.branch_files`` uses the standard ``file_list`` rules to
6863
produce a branch and a list of paths, relative to that branch
6864
(Aaron Bentley)
6865
6866
* New TestCase.addCleanup facility.
6867
6868
* New ``bzrlib.version_info`` tuple (similar to ``sys.version_info``),
6869
which can be used by programs importing bzrlib.
6870
6871
BUG FIXES:
6872
6873
* Better handling of branches in directories with non-ascii names.
6874
(Joel Rosdahl, Panagiotis Papadakos)
6875
6876
* Upgrades of trees with no commits will not fail due to accessing
6877
[-1] in the revision-history. (Andres Salomon)

allow directories to be listed.
6887
6888
* Avoid harmless warning about invalid hash cache after
6889
upgrading branch format.
6890
6891
PERFORMANCE:
6892
6893
* Avoid some unnecessary http operations in branch and pull.

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