13
* ``LRUCache(after_cleanup_size)`` was renamed to
14
``after_cleanup_count`` and the old name deprecated. The new name is
15
used for clarity, and to avoid confusion with
16
``LRUSizeCache(after_cleanup_size)``. (John Arbash Meinel)
22
* Add trailing slash to directories in all output of ``bzr ls``, except
23
``bzr ls --null``. (Gordon P. Hemsley, #306424)
25
* ``bzr revision-info`` now supports a -d option to specify an
26
alternative branch. (Michael Hudson)
30
* Allow BzrDir implementation to implement backing up of
31
control directory. (#139691)
33
* Don't call iteritems on transport_list_registry, because it may
34
change during iteration. (Martin Pool, #277048)
36
* Fix SystemError in ``_patiencediff_c`` module by calling
37
PyErr_NoMemory() before returning NULL in PatienceSequenceMatcher_new.
38
(Andrew Bennetts, #303206)
40
* Give proper error message for diff with non-existent dotted revno.
41
(Marius Kruger, #301969)
43
* ``Transport.readv()`` defaults to not reading more than 100MB in a
44
single array. Further ``RemoteTransport.readv`` sets this to 5MB to
45
work better with how it splits its requests.
46
(John Arbash Meinel, #303538)
48
* ``pull -v`` now respects the log_format configuration variable.
55
* The logic in commit now delegates inventory basis calculations to
56
the ``CommitBuilder`` object; this requires that the commit builder
57
in use has been updated to support the new ``recording_deletes`` and
58
``record_delete`` methods. (Robert Collins)
64
* ``KnitVersionedFiles.get_record_stream()`` will now chose a
65
more optimal ordering when the keys are requested 'unordered'.
66
Previously the order was fully random, now the records should be
67
returned from each pack in turn, in forward I/O order.
70
* New method ``bzrlib.repository.Repository.add_inventory_by_delta``
71
allows adding an inventory via an inventory delta, which can be
72
more efficient for some repository types. (Robert Collins)
74
* Repository ``CommitBuilder`` objects can now accumulate an inventory
75
delta. To enable this functionality call ``builder.recording_deletes``
76
and additionally call ``builder.record_delete`` when a delete
77
against the basis occurs. (Robert Collins)
79
* The default http handler has been changed from pycurl to urllib.
80
The default is still pycurl for https connections. (The only
81
advantage of pycurl is that it checks ssl certificates.)
88
Bazaar 1.10 has several performance improvements for copying revisions
89
(especially for small updates to large projects). There has also been a
90
significant amount of effort in polishing stacked branches. The commands
91
``shelve`` and ``unshelve`` have become core commands, with an improved
94
The only changes versus bzr-1.10rc1 are bugfixes for stacked branches.
98
* Don't set a pack write cache size from RepoFetcher, because the
99
cache is not coherent with reads and causes ShortReadvErrors.
100
This reverses the change that fixed #294479.
101
(Martin Pool, #303856)
103
* Properly handle when a revision can be inserted as a delta versus
104
when it needs to be expanded to a fulltext for stacked branches.
105
There was a bug involving merge revisions. As a method to help
106
prevent future difficulties, also make stacked fetches sort
107
topologically. (John Arbash Meinel, #304841)
110
bzr 1.10rc1 2008-11-28
111
----------------------
113
This release of Bazaar focuses on performance improvements when pushing
114
and pulling revisions, both locally and to remote networks. The popular
115
``shelve`` and ``unshelve`` commands, used to interactively revert and
116
restore work in progress, have been merged from bzrtools into the bzr
117
core. There are also bug fixes for portability, and for stacked branches.
121
* New ``commit_message_template`` hook that is called by the commit
122
code to generate a template commit message. (Jelmer Vernooij)
124
* New `shelve` and `unshelve` commands allow undoing and redoing changes.
129
* ``(Remote)Branch.copy_content_into`` no longer generates the full revision
130
history just to set the last revision info.
131
(Andrew Bennetts, John Arbash Meinel)
133
* Fetches between formats with different serializers (such as
134
pack-0.92-subtree and 1.9-rich-root) are faster now. This is due to
135
operating on batches of 100 revisions at time rather than
136
one-by-one. (Andrew Bennetts, John Arbash Meinel)
138
* Search index files corresponding to pack files we've already used
139
before searching others, because they are more likely to have the
140
keys we're looking for. This reduces the number of iix and tix
141
files accessed when pushing 1 new revision, for instance.
144
* Signatures to transfer are calculated more efficiently in
145
``item_keys_introduced_by``. (Andrew Bennetts, John Arbash Meinel)
147
* The generic fetch code can once again copy revisions and signatures
148
without extracting them completely to fulltexts and then serializing
149
them back down into byte strings. This is a significant performance
150
improvement when fetching from a stacked branch.
151
(John Arbash Meinel, #300289)
153
* When making a large readv() request over ``bzr+ssh``, break up the
154
request into more manageable chunks. Because the RPC is not yet able
155
to stream, this helps keep us from buffering too much information at
156
once. (John Arbash Meinel)
160
* Better message when the user needs to set their Launchpad ID.
161
(Martin Pool, #289148)
163
* ``bzr commit --local`` doesn't access the master branch anymore.
164
This fixes a regression introduced in 1.9. (Marius Kruger, #299313)
166
* Don't call the system ``chdir()`` with an empty path. Sun OS seems
167
to give an error in that case. Also, don't count on ``getcwd()``
168
being able to allocate a new buffer, which is a gnu extension.
169
(John Arbash Meinel, Martin Pool, Harry Hirsch, #297831)
171
* Don't crash when requesting log --forward <file> for a revision range
172
starting with a dotted revno.
173
(Vincent Ladeuil, #300055)
175
* Don't create text deltas spanning stacked repositories; this could
176
cause "Revision X not present in Y" when later accessing them.
177
(Martin Pool, #288751)
179
* Pack repositories are now able to reload the pack listing and retry
180
the current operation if another action causes the data to be
181
repacked. (John Arbash Meinel, #153786)
183
* PermissionDenied errors from smart servers no longer cause
184
"PermissionDenied: "None"" on the client.
185
(Andrew Bennetts, #299254)
187
* Pushing to a stacked pack repository now batches writes, the same
188
way writes are batched to ordinary pack repository. This makes
189
pushing to a stacked branch over the network much faster.
190
(Andrew Bennetts, #294479)
192
* TooManyConcurrentRequests no longer occur when a fetch fails and
193
tries to abort a write group. This allows the root cause (e.g. a
194
network interruption) to be reported. (Andrew Bennetts, #297014)
196
* RemoteRepository.get_parent_map now uses fallback repositories.
197
(Aaron Bentley, #297991?, #293679?)
201
* ``CommitBuilder`` now validates the strings it will be committing,
202
to ensure that they do not have characters that will not be properly
203
round-tripped. For now, it just checks for characters that are
204
invalid in the XML form. (John Arbash Meinel, #295161)
206
* Constructor parameters for NewPack (internal to pack repositories)
207
have changed incompatibly.
209
* ``Repository.abort_write_group`` now accepts an optional
210
``suppress_errors`` flag. Repository implementations that override
211
``abort_write_group`` will need to be updated to accept the new
212
argument. Subclasses that only override ``_abort_write_group``
213
don't need to change.
215
* Transport implementations must provide copy_tree_to_transport. A default
216
implementation is provided for Transport subclasses.
220
* ``bzr selftest`` now fails if no doctests are found in a module
221
that's expected to have them. (Martin Pool)
223
* Doctests now only report the first failure. (Martin Pool)
229
This release of Bazaar adds a new repository format, ``1.9``, with smaller
230
and more efficient index files. This format can be specified when
231
creating a new repository, or used to losslessly upgrade an existing
232
repository. bzr 1.9 also speeds most operations over the smart server
233
protocol, makes annotate faster, and uses less memory when making
234
checkouts or pulling large amounts of data.
238
* Fix "invalid property value 'branch-nick' for None" regression with
239
branches bound to svn branches. (Martin Pool, #293440)
241
* Fix SSL/https on Python2.6. (Vincent Ladeuil, #293054)
243
* ``SFTPTransport.readv()`` had a bug when requests were out-of-order.
244
This only triggers some-of-the-time on Knit format repositories.
245
(John Arbash Meinel, #293746)
248
bzr 1.9rc1 2008-10-31
249
---------------------
253
* New Branch hook ``transform_fallback_location`` allows a function to
254
be called when looking up the stacked source. (Michael Hudson)
256
* New repository formats ``1.9`` and ``1.9-rich-root``. These have all
257
the functionality of ``1.6``, but use the new btree indexes.
258
These indexes are both smaller and faster for access to historical
259
information. (John Arbash Meinel)
263
* ``BTreeIndex`` code now is able to prefetch extra pages to help tune
264
the tradeoff between bandwidth and latency. Should be tuned
265
appropriately to not impact commands which need minimal information,
266
but provide a significant boost to ones that need more context. Only
267
has a direct impact on the ``--development2`` format which uses
268
btree's for the indexes. (John Arbash Meinel)
270
* ``bzr dump-btree`` is a hidden command introduced to allow dumping
271
the contents of a compressed btree file. (John Arbash Meinel)
273
* ``bzr pack`` now tells the index builders to optimize for size. For
274
btree index repositories, this can save 25% of the index size
275
(mostly in the text indexes). (John Arbash Meinel)
277
* ``bzr push`` to an existing branch or repository on a smart server
278
is faster, due to Bazaar making more use of the ``get_parent_map``
279
RPC when querying the remote branch's revision graph.
282
* default username for bzr+ssh and sftp can be configured in
283
authentication.conf. (Aaron Bentley)
285
* launchpad-login now provides a default username for bzr+ssh and sftp
286
URLs, allowing username-free URLs to work for everyone. (Aaron Bentley)
288
* ``lp:`` lookups no longer include usernames, making them shareable and
289
shorter. (Aaron Bentley)
291
* New ``PackRepository.autopack`` smart server RPC, which does
292
autopacking entirely on the server. This is much faster than
293
autopacking via plain file methods, which downloads a large amount
294
of pack data and then re-uploads the same pack data into a single
295
file. This fixes a major (although infrequent) cause of lengthy
296
delays when using a smart server. For example, pushing the 10th
297
revision to a repository with 9 packs now takes 44 RPCs rather than
298
179, and much less bandwidth too. This requires Bazaar 1.9 on both
299
the client and the server, otherwise the client will fallback to the
300
slower method. (Andrew Bennetts)
304
* A failure to load a plugin due to an IncompatibleAPI exception is
305
now correctly reported. (Robert Collins, #279451)
307
* API versioning support now has a multiple-version checking api
308
``require_any_api``. (Robert Collins, #279447)
310
* ``bzr branch --stacked`` from a smart server to a standalone branch
311
works again. This fixes a regression in 1.7 and 1.8.
312
(Andrew Bennetts, #270397)
314
* ``bzr co`` uses less memory. It used to unpack the entire WT into
315
memory before writing it to disk. This was a little bit faster, but
316
consumed lots of memory. (John Arbash Meinel, #269456)
318
* ``bzr missing --quiet`` no longer prints messages about whether
319
there are missing revisions. The exit code indicates whether there
320
were or not. (Martin Pool, #284748)
322
* Fixes to the ``annotate`` code. The fast-path which re-used the
323
stored deltas was accidentally disabled all the time, instead of
324
only when a branch was stacked. Second, the code would accidentally
325
re-use a delta even if it wasn't against the left-parent, this
326
could only happen if ``bzr reconcile`` decided that the parent
327
ordering was incorrect in the file graph. (John Arbash Meinel)
329
* "Permission denied" errors that occur when pushing a new branch to a
330
smart server no longer cause tracebacks. (Andrew Bennetts, #278673)
332
* Some compatibility fixes for building the extensions with MSVC and
333
for python2.4. (John Arbash Meinel, #277484)
335
* The index logic is now able to reload the list of pack files if and
336
index ends up disappearing. We still don't reload if the pack data
337
itself goes missing after checking the index. This bug appears as a
338
transient failure (file not found) when another process is writing
339
to the repository. (John Arbash Meinel, #153786)
341
* ``bzr switch`` and ``bzr bind`` will now update the branch nickname if
342
it was previously set. All checkouts will now refer to the bound branch
343
for a nickname if one was not explicitly set.
344
(Marius Kruger, #230903)
348
* Improved hook documentation. (Michael Ernst)
352
* commands.plugins_cmds is now a CommandRegistry, not a dict.
356
* New AuthenticationConfig.set_credentials method allows easy programmatic
357
configuration of authetication credentials.
363
Bazaar 1.8 includes several fixes that improve working tree performance,
364
display of revision logs, and merges. The bzr testsuite now passes on OS
365
X and Python 2.6, and almost completely passes on Windows. The
366
smartserver code has gained several bug fixes and performance
367
improvements, and can now run server-side hooks within an http server.
371
* Fix "Must end write group" error when another error occurs during
372
``bzr push``. (Andrew Bennetts, #230902)
376
* Some Pyrex versions require the WIN32 macro defined to compile on
377
that platform. (Alexander Belchenko, Martin Pool, #277481)
380
bzr 1.8rc1 2008-10-07
381
---------------------
385
* ``bzr log file`` has been changed. It now uses a different method
386
for determining which revisions to show as merging the changes to
387
the file. It now only shows revisions which merged the change
388
towards your mainline. This simplifies the output, makes it faster,
389
and reduces memory consumption. (John Arbash Meinel)
391
* ``bzr merge`` now defaults to having ``--reprocess`` set, whenever
392
``--show-base`` is not supplied. (John Arbash Meinel)
394
* ``bzr+http//`` will now optionally load plugins and write logs on the
395
server. (Marius Kruger)
397
* ``bzrlib._dirstate_helpers_c.pyx`` does not compile correctly with
398
Pyrex 0.9.4.1 (it generates C code which causes segfaults). We
399
explicitly blacklist that version of the compiler for that
400
extension. Packaged versions will include .c files created with
401
pyrex >= 0.9.6 so it doesn't effect releases, only users running
402
from the source tree. (John Arbash Meinel, #276868)
406
* bzr is now compatible with python-2.6. python-2.6 is not yet officially
407
supported (nor released, tests were conducted with the dev version of
408
python-2.6rc2), but all known problems have been fixed. Feedback
410
(Vincent Ladeuil, #269535)
414
* ``bzr annotate`` will now include uncommitted changes from the local
415
working tree by default. Such uncommitted changes are given the
416
revision number they would get if a commit was done, followed with a
417
? to indicate that its not actually known. (Robert Collins, #3439)
419
* ``bzr branch`` now accepts a ``--standalone`` option, which creates a
420
standalone branch regardless of the presence of shared repositories.
423
* ``bzr push`` is faster in the case there are no new revisions to
424
push. It is also faster if there are no tags in the local branch.
427
* File changes during a commit will update the tree stat cache.
430
* Location aliases can now accept a trailing path. (Micheal Hudson)
432
* New hooks ``Lock.hooks`` when LockDirs are acquired and released.
433
(Robert Collins, MartinPool)
435
* Switching in heavyweight checkouts uses the master branch's context, not
436
the checkout's context. (Adrian Wilkins)
438
* ``status`` on large trees is now faster, due to optimisations in the
439
walkdirs code. Of particular note, the walkdirs code now performs
440
a temporary ``chdir()`` while reading a single directory; if your
441
platform has non thread-local current working directories (and is
442
not windows which has its own implementation), this may introduce a
443
race condition during concurrent uses of bzrlib. The bzrlib CLI
444
will not encounter this as it is single threaded for working tree
445
operations. (Robert Collins)
447
* The C extensions now build on python 2.4 (Robert Collins, #271939)
449
* The ``-Dhpss`` debug flag now reports the number of smart server
450
calls per medium to stderr. This is in addition to the existing
451
detailed logging to the .bzr.log trace file. (Andrew Bennetts)
455
* Avoid random failures arising from misinterpreted ``errno`` values
456
in ``_readdir_pyx.read_dir``.
457
(Martin Pool, #279381)
459
* Branching from a shared repository on a smart server into a new
460
repository now preserves the repository format.
461
(Andrew Bennetts, #269214)
463
* ``bzr log`` now accepts a ``--change`` option.
464
(Vincent Ladeuil, #248427)
466
* ``bzr missing`` now accepts an ``--include-merges`` option.
467
(Vincent Ladeuil, #233817)
469
* Don't try to filter (internally) '.bzr' from the files to be deleted if
471
(Vincent Ladeuil, #272648)
473
* Fix '_in_buffer' AttributeError when using the -Dhpss debug flag.
476
* Fix TooManyConcurrentRequests errors caused by a connection failure
477
when doing ``bzr pull`` or ``bzr merge`` from a ``bzr+ssh`` URL.
478
(Andrew Bennetts, #246233)
480
* Fixed ``bzr st -r branch:PATH_TO_BRANCH`` where the other branch
481
is in a different repository than the current one.
482
(Lukáš Lalinský, #144421)
484
* Make the first line of the manpage preamble a comment again.
485
(David Futcher, #242106)
487
* Remove use of optional parameter in GSSAPI FTP support, since
488
it breaks newer versions of Python-Kerberos. (Jelmer Vernooij)
490
* The autopacking logic will now always create a single new pack from
491
all of the content which it deems is worth moving. This avoids the
492
'repack a single pack' bug and should result in better packing
493
overall. (John Arbash Meinel, #242510, #172644)
495
* Trivial documentation fix.
496
(John Arbash Meinel, #270471)
498
* ``bzr switch`` and ``bzr bind`` will now update the branch nickname if
499
it was previously set. All checkouts will now refer to the bound branch
500
for a nickname if one was not explicitly set.
501
(Marius Kruger, #230903)
505
* Explain revision/range identifiers. (Daniel Clemente)
509
* ``CommitBuilder.record_entry_contents`` returns one more element in
510
its result tuple - an optional file system hash for the hash cache
511
to use. (Robert Collins)
513
* ``dirstate.DirState.update_entry`` will now only calculate the sha1
514
of a file if it is likely to be needed in determining the output
515
of iter_changes. (Robert Collins)
517
* The PackRepository, RepositoryPackCollection, NewPack classes have a
518
slightly changed interface to support different index types; as a
519
result other users of these classes need to supply the index types
520
they want. (Robert Collins)
524
* ``bzrlib.tests.repository_implementations`` has been renamed to
525
``bzrlib.tests.per_repository`` so that we have a common structure
526
(and it is shorter). (John Arbash Meinel, #239343)
528
* ``LocalTransport.abspath()`` now returns a drive letter if the
529
transport has one, fixing numerous tests on Windows.
532
* PreviewTree is now tested via intertree_implementations.
535
* The full test suite is passing again on OSX.
536
(Guillermo Gonzalez, Vincent Ladeuil)
538
* The full test suite passes when run with ``-Eallow_debug``.
543
* A new hook, ``Branch.open``, has been added, which is called when
544
branch objects are opened. (Robert Collins)
546
* ``bzrlib.osutils._walkdirs_utf8`` has been refactored into common
547
tree walking, and modular directory listing code to aid future
548
performance optimisations and refactoring. (Robert Collins)
550
* ``bzrlib.trace.debug_memory`` can be used to get a quick memory dump
551
in the middle of processing. It only reports memory if
552
``/proc/PID/status`` is available. (John Arbash Meinel)
554
* New method ``RevisionSpec.as_tree`` for representing the revision
555
specifier as a revision tree object. (Lukáš Lalinský)
557
* New race-free method on MutableTree ``get_file_with_stat`` for use
558
when generating stat cache results. (Robert Collins)
560
* New win32utils.get_local_appdata_location() provides access to a local
561
directory for storing data. (Mark Hammond)
563
* To be compatible with python-2.6 a few new rules should be
564
observed. 'message' attribute can't be used anymore in exception
565
classes, 'sha' and 'md5' modules have been deprecated (use
566
osutils.[md5|sha]), object__init__ and object.__new__ don't accept
574
No changes from 1.7.1rc1.
577
bzr 1.7.1rc1 2008-09-24
578
-----------------------
580
This release just includes an update to how the merge algorithm handles
581
file paths when we encounter complex history.
585
* If we encounter a criss-cross in history, use information from
586
direct Least Common Ancestors to resolve inventory shape (locations
587
of files, adds, deletes, etc). This is similar in concept to using
588
``--lca`` for merging file texts, only applied to paths.
595
This release includes many bug fixes and a few performance and feature
596
improvements. ``bzr rm`` will now scan for missing files and remove them,
597
like how ``bzr add`` scans for unknown files and adds them. A bit more
598
polish has been applied to the stacking code. The b-tree indexing code has
599
been brought in, with an eye on using it in a future repository format.
600
There are only minor installer changes since bzr-1.7rc2.
604
* Some small updates to the win32 installer. Include localization
605
files found in plugins, and include the builtin distutils as part of
606
packaging qbzr. (Mark Hammond)
609
bzr 1.7rc2 2008-09-17
610
---------------------
612
A few bug fixes from 1.7rc1. The biggest change is a new
613
``RemoteBranch.get_stacked_on_url`` rpc. This allows clients that are
614
trying to access a Stacked branch over the smart protocol, to properly
615
connect to the stacked-on location.
619
* Branching from a shared repository on a smart server into a new
620
repository now preserves the repository format.
621
(Andrew Bennetts, #269214)
623
* Branching from a stacked branch via ``bzr+ssh`` can properly connect
624
to the stacked-on branch. (Martin Pool, #261315)
626
* ``bzr init`` no longer re-opens the BzrDir multiple times.
629
* Fix '_in_buffer' AttributeError when using the -Dhpss debug flag.
633
bzr 1.7rc1 2008-09-09
634
---------------------
636
This release candidate for bzr 1.7 has several bug fixes and a few
637
performance and feature improvements. ``bzr rm`` will now scan for
638
missing files and remove them, like how ``bzr add`` scans for unknown
639
files and adds them. A bit more polish has been applied to the stacking
640
code. The b-tree indexing code has been brought in, with an eye on using
641
it in a future repository format.
646
* ``bzr export`` can now export a subdirectory of a project.
649
* ``bzr remove-tree`` will now refuse to remove a tree with uncommitted
650
changes, unless the ``--force`` option is specified.
651
(Lukáš Lalinský, #74101)
653
* ``bzr rm`` will now scan for files that are missing and remove just
654
them automatically, much as ``bzr add`` scans for new files that
655
are not ignored and adds them automatically. (Robert Collins)
659
* Support for GSSAPI authentication when using FTP as documented in
660
RFC2228. (Jelmer Vernooij, #49623)
662
* Add support for IPv6 in the smart server. (Jelmer Vernooij, #165014)
666
* A url like ``log+file:///tmp`` will log all access to that Transport
667
to ``.bzr.log``, which may help in debugging or profiling.
670
* ``bzr branch`` and ``bzr push`` use the default stacking policy if the
671
branch format supports it. (Aaron Bentley)
673
* ``bzr init`` and ``bzr init-repo`` will now print out the same as
674
``bzr info`` if it completed successfully.
677
* ``bzr uncommit`` logs the old tip revision id, and displays how to
678
restore the branch to that tip using ``bzr pull``. This allows you
679
to recover if you realize you uncommitted the wrong thing.
682
* Fix problems in accessing stacked repositories over ``bzr://``.
683
(Martin Pool, #261315)
685
* ``SFTPTransport.readv()`` was accidentally using ``list += string``,
686
which 'works', but adds each character separately to the list,
687
rather than using ``list.append(string)``. Fixing this makes the
688
SFTP transport a little bit faster (~20%) and use a bit less memory.
691
* When reading index files, if we happen to read the whole file in a
692
single request treat it as a ``_buffer_all`` request. This happens
693
most often on small indexes over remote transports, where we default
694
to reading 64kB. It saves a round trip for each small index during
695
fetch operations. Also, if we have read more than 50% of an index
696
file, trigger a ``_buffer_all`` on the next request. This works
697
around some inefficiencies because reads don't fall neatly on page
698
boundaries, so we would ignore those bytes, but request them again
699
later. This could trigger a total read size of more than the whole
700
file. (John Arbash Meinel)
704
* ``bzr rm`` is now aliased to ``bzr del`` for the convenience of svn
705
users. (Robert Collins, #205416)
707
* Catch the infamous "select/poll returned error" which occurs when
708
pycurl try to send a body request to an HTTP/1.0 server which has
709
already refused to handle the request. (Vincent Ladeuil, #225020)
711
* Fix ``ObjectNotLocked`` errors when using various commands
712
(including ``bzr cat`` and ``bzr annotate``) in combination with a
713
smart server URL. (Andrew Bennetts, #237067)
715
* ``FTPTransport.stat()`` would return ``0000`` as the permission bits
716
for the containing ``.bzr/`` directory (it does not implement
717
permissions). This would cause us to set all subdirectories to
718
``0700`` and files to ``0600`` rather than leaving them unmodified.
719
Now we ignore ``0000`` as the permissions and assume they are
720
invalid. (John Arbash Meinel, #259855)
722
* Merging from a previously joined branch will no longer cause
723
a traceback. (Jelmer Vernooij, #203376)
725
* Pack operations on windows network shares will work even with large
726
files. (Robert Collins, #255656)
728
* Running ``bzr st PATH_TO_TREE`` will no longer suppress merge
729
status. Status is also about 7% faster on mozilla sized trees
730
when the path to the root of the tree has been given. Users of
731
the internal ``show_tree_status`` function should be aware that
732
the show_pending flag is now authoritative for showing pending
733
merges, as it was originally. (Robert Collins, #225204)
735
* Set valid default _param_name for Option so that ListOption can embed
736
'-' in names. (Vincent Ladeuil, #263249)
738
* Show proper error rather than traceback when an unknown revision
739
id is specified to ``bzr cat-revision``. (Jelmer Vernooij, #175569)
741
* Trailing text in the dirstate file could cause the C dirstate parser
742
to try to allocate an invalid amount of memory. We now properly
743
check and test for parsing a dirstate with invalid trailing data.
744
(John Arbash Meinel, #186014)
746
* Unexpected error responses from a smart server no longer cause the
747
client to traceback. (Andrew Bennetts, #263527)
749
* Use a Windows api function to get a Unicode host name, rather than
750
assuming the host name is ascii.
751
(Mark Hammond, John Arbash Meinel, #256550)
753
* ``WorkingTree4`` trees will now correctly report missing-and-new
754
paths in the output of ``iter_changes``. (Robert Collins)
758
* Updated developer documentation. (Martin Pool)
762
* Exporters now take 4 parameters. (Robert Collins)
764
* ``Tree.iter_changes`` will now return False for the content change
765
field when a file is missing in the basis tree and not present in
766
the target tree. Previously it returned True unconditionally.
769
* The deprecated ``Branch.abspath`` and unimplemented
770
``Branch.rename_one`` and ``Branch.move`` were removed. (Jelmer Vernooij)
772
* BzrDir.clone_on_transport implementations must now accept a stacked_on
773
parameter. (Aaron Bentley)
775
* BzrDir.cloning_metadir implementations must now take a require_stacking
776
parameter. (Aaron Bentley)
780
* ``addCleanup`` now takes ``*arguments`` and ``**keyword_arguments``
781
which are then passed to the cleanup callable as it is run. In
782
addition, addCleanup no longer requires that the callables passed to
783
it be unique. (Jonathan Lange)
785
* Fix some tests that fail on Windows because files are deleted while
789
* ``selftest``'s ``--starting-with`` option can now use predefined
790
prefixes so that one can say ``bzr selftest -s bp.loom`` instead of
791
``bzr selftest -s bzrlib.plugins.loom``. (Vincent Ladeuil)
793
* ``selftest``'s ``--starting-with`` option now accepts multiple values.
798
* A new plugin interface, ``bzrlib.log.log_adapters``, has been added.
799
This allows dynamic log output filtering by plugins.
802
* ``bzrlib.btree_index`` is now available, providing a b-tree index
803
layer. The design is memory conservative (limited memory cache),
804
faster to seek (approx 100 nodes per page, gives 100-way fan out),
805
and stores compressed pages allowing more keys per page.
806
(Robert Collins, John Arbash Meinel)
808
* ``bzrlib.diff.DiffTree.show_diff`` now skips changes where the kind
809
is unknown in both source and target.
810
(Robert Collins, Aaron Bentley)
812
* ``GraphIndexBuilder.add_node`` and ``BTreeBuilder`` have been
813
streamlined a bit. This should make creating large indexes faster.
814
(In benchmarking, it now takes less time to create a BTree index than
815
it takes to read the GraphIndex one.) (John Arbash Meinel)
817
* Mail clients for `bzr send` are now listed in a registry. This
818
allows plugins to add new clients by registering them with
819
``bzrlib.mail_client.mail_client_registry``. All of the built-in
820
clients now use this mechanism. (Neil Martinsen-Burrell)
826
A couple regressions were found in the 1.6 release. There was a
827
performance issue when using ``bzr+ssh`` to branch large repositories,
828
and some problems with stacking and ``rich-root`` capable repositories.
831
bzr 1.6.1rc2 2008-09-03
832
-----------------------
836
* Copying between ``rich-root`` and ``rich-root-pack`` (and vice
837
versa) was accidentally using the inter-model fetcher, instead of
838
recognizing that both were 'rich root' formats.
839
(John Arbash Meinel, #264321)
842
bzr 1.6.1rc1 2008-08-29
843
-----------------------
845
This release fixes a few regressions found in the 1.6 client. Fetching
846
changes was using an O(N^2) buffering algorithm, so for large projects it
847
would cause memory thrashing. There is also a specific problem with the
848
``--1.6-rich-root`` format, which prevented stacking on top of
849
``--rich-root-pack`` repositories, and could allow users to accidentally
850
fetch experimental data (``-subtree``) without representing it properly.
851
The ``--1.6-rich-root`` format has been deprecated and users are
852
recommended to upgrade to ``--1.6.1-rich-root`` immediately. Also we
853
re-introduced a workaround for users who have repositories with incorrect
854
nodes (not possible if you only used official releases).
855
I should also clarify that none of this is data loss level issues, but
856
still sufficient enough to warrant an updated release.
860
* ``RemoteTransport.readv()`` was being inefficient about how it
861
buffered the readv data and processed it. It would keep appending to
862
the same string (causing many copies) and then pop bytes out of the
863
start of the string (causing more copies).
864
With this patch "bzr+ssh://local" can improve dramatically,
865
especially for projects with large files.
868
* Revision texts were always meant to be stored as fulltexts. There
869
was a bug in a bzr.dev version that would accidentally create deltas
870
when copying from a Pack repo to a Knit repo. This has been fixed,
871
but to support those repositories, we know always request full texts
872
for Revision texts. (John Arbash Meinel, #261339)
874
* The previous ``--1.6-rich-root`` format used an incorrect xml
875
serializer, which would accidentally support fetching from a
876
repository that supported subtrees, even though the local one would
877
not. We deprecated that format, and introduced a new one that uses
878
the correct serializer ``--1.6.1-rich-root``.
879
(John Arbash Meinel, #262333)
885
Finally, the long awaited bzr 1.6 has been released. This release includes
886
new features like Stacked Branches, improved weave merge, and an updated
887
server protocol (now on v3) which will allow for better cross version
888
compatibility. With this release we have deprecated Knit format
889
repositories, and recommend that users upgrade them, we will continue to
890
support reading and writing them for the forseeable future, but we will
891
not be tuning them for performance as pack repositories have proven to be
892
better at scaling. This will also be the first release to bundle
893
TortoiseBzr in the standalone Windows installer.
896
bzr 1.6rc5 2008-08-19
897
---------------------
901
* Disable automatic detection of stacking based on a containing
902
directory of the target. It interacted badly with push, and needs a
903
bit more work to get the edges polished before it should happen
904
automatically. (John Arbash Meinel, #259275)
905
(This change was reverted when merged to bzr.dev)
908
bzr 1.6rc4 2008-08-18
909
---------------------
913
* Fix a regression in knit => pack fetching. We had a logic
914
inversion, causing the fetch to insert fulltexts in random order,
915
rather than preserving deltas. (John Arbash Meinel, #256757)
918
bzr 1.6rc3 2008-08-14
919
---------------------
923
* Disable reading ``.bzrrules`` as a per-branch rule preferences
924
file. The feature was not quite ready for a full release.
929
* Update the windows installer to bundle TortoiseBzr and ``qbzr``
930
into the standalone installer. This will be the first official
931
windows release that installs Tortoise by default.
936
* Fix a regression in ``bzr+http`` support. There was a missing
937
function (``_read_line``) that needed to be carried over from
938
``bzr+ssh`` support. (Andrew Bennetts)
940
* ``GraphIndex`` objects will internally read an entire index if more
941
than 1/20th of their keyspace is requested in a single operation.
942
This largely mitigates a performance regression in ``bzr log FILE``
943
and completely corrects the performance regression in ``bzr log``.
944
The regression was caused by removing an accomodation which had been
945
supporting the index format in use. A newer index format is in
946
development which is substantially faster. (Robert Collins)
949
bzr 1.6rc2 2008-08-13
950
---------------------
952
This release candidate has a few minor bug fixes, and some regression
957
* ``bzr upgrade`` on remote branches accessed via bzr:// and
958
bzr+ssh:// now works. (Andrew Bennetts)
960
* Change the ``get_format_description()`` strings for
961
``RepositoryFormatKnitPack5`` et al to be single line messages.
964
* Fix for a regression on Win32 where we would try to call
965
``os.listdir()`` on a file and not catch the exception properly.
966
(Windows raises a different exception.) This would manifest in
967
places like ``bzr rm file`` or ``bzr switch``.
968
(Mark Hammond, John Arbash Meinel)
970
* ``Inventory.copy()`` was failing to set the revision property for
971
the root entry. (Jelmer Vernooij)
973
* sftp transport: added missing ``FileExists`` case to
974
``_translate_io_exception`` (Christophe Troestler, #123475)
976
* The help for ``bzr ignored`` now suggests ``bzr ls --ignored`` for
977
scripting use. (Robert Collins, #3834)
979
* The default ``annotate`` logic will now always assign the
980
last-modified value of a line to one of the revisions that modified
981
it, rather than a merge revision. This would happen when both sides
982
claimed to have modified the line resulting in the same text. The
983
choice is arbitrary but stable, so merges in different directions
984
will get the same results. (John Arbash Meinel, #232188)
987
bzr 1.6rc1 2008-08-06
988
---------------------
990
This release candidate for bzr 1.6 solidifies the new branch stacking
991
feature. Bazaar now recommends that users upgrade all knit repositories,
992
because later formats are much faster. However, we plan to continue read/write and
993
upgrade support for knit repostories for the forseeable future. Several
994
other bugs and performance issues were fixed.
998
* Knit format repositories are deprecated and bzr will now emit
999
warnings whenever it encounters one. Use ``bzr upgrade`` to upgrade
1000
knit repositories to pack format. (Andrew Bennetts)
1004
* ``bzr check`` can now be told which elements at a location it should
1005
check. (Daniel Watkins)
1007
* Commit now supports ``--exclude`` (or ``-x``) to exclude some files
1008
from the commit. (Robert Collins, #3117)
1010
* Fetching data between repositories that have the same model but no
1011
optimised fetcher will not reserialise all the revisions, increasing
1012
performance. (Robert Collins, John Arbash Meinel)
1014
* Give a more specific error when target branch is not reachable.
1017
* Implemented a custom ``walkdirs_utf8`` implementation for win32.
1018
This uses a pyrex extension to get direct access to the
1019
``FindFirstFileW`` style apis, rather than using ``listdir`` +
1020
``lstat``. Shows a very strong improvement in commands like
1021
``status`` and ``diff`` which have to iterate the working tree.
1022
Anywhere from 2x-6x faster depending on the size of the tree (bigger
1023
trees, bigger benefit.) (John Arbash Meinel)
1025
* New registry for log properties handles and the method in
1026
LongLogFormatter to display the custom properties returned by the
1027
registered handlers. (Guillermo Gonzalez, #162469)
1031
* Add more tests that stacking does not create deltas spanning
1032
physical repository boundaries.
1033
(Martin Pool, #252428)
1035
* Better message about incompatible repositories.
1036
(Martin Pool, #206258)
1038
* ``bzr branch --stacked`` ensures the destination branch format can
1039
support stacking, even if the origin does not.
1042
* ``bzr export`` no longer exports ``.bzrrules``.
1045
* ``bzr serve --directory=/`` now correctly allows the whole
1046
filesystem to be accessed on Windows, not just the root of the drive
1047
that Python is running from.
1048
(Adrian Wilkins, #240910)
1050
* Deleting directories by hand before running ``bzr rm`` will not
1051
cause subsequent errors in ``bzr st`` and ``bzr commit``.
1052
(Robert Collins, #150438)
1054
* Fix a test case that was failing if encoding wasn't UTF-8.
1055
(John Arbash Meinel, #247585)
1057
* Fix "no buffer space available" error when branching with the new
1058
smart server protocol to or from Windows.
1059
(Andrew Bennetts, #246180)
1061
* Fixed problem in branching from smart server.
1062
(#249256, Michael Hudson, Martin Pool)
1064
* Handle a file turning in to a directory in TreeTransform.
1065
(James Westby, #248448)
1069
* ``MutableTree.commit`` has an extra optional keywork parameter
1070
``exclude`` that will be unconditionally supplied by the command
1071
line UI - plugins that add tree formats may need an update.
1074
* The API minimum version for plugin compatibility has been raised to
1075
1.6 - there are significant changes throughout the code base.
1078
* The generic fetch code now uses three attributes on Repository objects
1079
to control fetch. The streams requested are controlled via :
1080
``_fetch_order`` and ``_fetch_uses_deltas``. Setting these
1081
appropriately allows different repository implementations to recieve
1082
data in their optimial form. If the ``_fetch_reconcile`` is set then
1083
a reconcile operation is triggered at the end of the fetch.
1086
* The ``put_on_disk`` and ``get_tar_item`` methods in
1087
``InventoryEntry`` were deprecated. (Ian Clatworthy)
1089
* ``Repository.is_shared`` doesn't take a read lock. It didn't
1090
need one in the first place (nobody cached the value, and
1091
``RemoteRepository`` wasn't taking one either). This saves a round
1092
trip when probing Pack repositories, as they read the ``pack-names``
1093
file when locked. And during probe, locking the repo isn't very
1094
useful. (John Arbash Meinel)
1098
* ``bzrlib.branchbuilder.BranchBuilder`` is now much more capable of
1099
putting together a real history without having to create a full
1100
WorkingTree. It is recommended that tests that are not directly
1101
testing the WorkingTree use BranchBuilder instead. See
1102
``BranchBuilder.build_snapshot`` or
1103
``TestCaseWithMemoryTree.make_branch_builder``. (John Arbash Meinel)
1105
* ``bzrlib.builtins.internal_tree_files`` broken into two giving a new
1106
helper ``safe_relpath_files`` - used by the new ``exclude``
1107
parameter to commit. (Robert Collins)
1109
* Make it easier to introduce new WorkingTree formats.
1112
* The code for exporting trees was refactored not to use the
1113
deprecated ``InventoryEntry`` methods. (Ian Clatworthy)
1115
* RuleSearchers return () instead of [] now when there are no matches.
1119
bzr 1.6beta3 2008-07-17
1120
-----------------------
1122
This release adds a new 'stacked branches' feature allowing branches to
1123
share storage without being in the same repository or on the same machine.
1124
(See the user guide for more details.) It also adds a new hook, improved
1125
weaves, aliases for related locations, faster bzr+ssh push, and several
1130
* New ``pre_change_branch_tip`` hook that is called before the
1131
branch tip is moved, while the branch is write-locked. See the User
1132
Reference for signature details. (Andrew Bennetts)
1134
* Rule-based preferences can now be defined for selected files in
1135
selected branches, allowing commands and plugins to provide
1136
custom behaviour for files matching defined patterns.
1137
See ``Rule-based preferences`` (part of ``Configuring Bazaar``)
1138
in the User Guide and ``bzr help rules`` for more information.
1141
* Sites may suggest a branch to stack new branches on. (Aaron Bentley)
1143
* Stacked branches are now supported. See ``bzr help branch`` and
1144
``bzr help push``. Branches must be in the ``development1`` format
1145
to stack, though the stacked-on branch can be of any format.
1150
* ``bzr export --format=tgz --root=NAME -`` to export a gzipped tarball
1151
to stdout; also ``tar`` and ``tbz2``.
1154
* ``bzr (re)merge --weave`` will now use a standard Weave algorithm,
1155
rather than the annotation-based merge it was using. It does so by
1156
building up a Weave of the important texts, without needing to build
1157
the full ancestry. (John Arbash Meinel, #238895)
1159
* ``bzr send`` documents and better supports ``emacsclient`` (proper
1160
escaping of mail headers and handling of the MUA Mew).
1161
(Christophe Troestler)
1163
* Remembered locations can be specified by aliases, e.g. :parent, :public,
1164
:submit. (Aaron Bentley)
1166
* The smart protocol now has improved support for setting branches'
1167
revision info directly. This makes operations like push
1168
faster. The new request method name is
1169
``Branch.set_last_revision_ex``. (Andrew Bennetts)
1173
* Bazaar is now able to be a client to the web server of IIS 6 and 7.
1174
The broken implementations of RFC822 in Python and RFC2046 in IIS
1175
combined with boundary-line checking in Bazaar previously made this
1176
impossible. (NB, IIS 5 does not suffer from this problem).
1177
(Adrian Wilkins, #247585)
1179
* ``bzr log --long`` with a ghost in your mainline now handles that
1180
ghost properly. (John Arbash Meinel, #243536)
1182
* ``check`` handles the split-up .bzr layout correctly, so no longer
1183
requires a branch to be present.
1184
(Daniel Watkins, #64783)
1186
* Clearer message about how to set the PYTHONPATH if bzrlib can't be
1188
(Martin Pool, #205230)
1190
* Errors about missing libraries are now shown without a traceback,
1191
and with a suggestion to install the library. The full traceback is
1192
still in ``.bzr.log`` and can be shown with ``-Derror``.
1193
(Martin Pool, #240161)
1195
* Fetch from a stacked branch copies all required data.
1196
(Aaron Bentley, #248506)
1198
* Handle urls such as ftp://user@host.com@www.host.com where the user
1200
(Neil Martinsen-Burrell, #228058)
1202
* ``needs_read_lock`` and ``needs_write_lock`` now suppress an error during
1203
``unlock`` if there was an error in the original function. This helps
1204
most when there is a failure with a smart server action, since often the
1205
connection closes and we cannot unlock.
1206
(Andrew Bennetts, John Arbash Meinel, #125784)
1208
* Obsolete hidden command ``bzr fetch`` removed.
1209
(Martin Pool, #172870)
1211
* Raise the correct exception when doing ``-rbefore:0`` or ``-c0``.
1212
(John Arbash Meinel, #239933)
1214
* You can now compare file revisions in Windows diff programs from
1216
(Matt McClure, #209281)
1218
* revision_history now tolerates mainline ghosts for Branch format 6.
1219
(Aaron Bentley, #235055)
1221
* Set locale from environment for third party libs.
1222
(Martin von Gagern, #128496)
1226
* Added *Using stacked branches* to the User Guide.
1229
* Updated developer documentation.
1234
* ``-Dmemory`` will cause /proc/PID/status to be catted before bzr
1235
exits, allowing low-key analysis of peak memory use. (Robert Collins)
1237
* ``TestCaseWithTransport.make_branch_and_tree`` tries harder to return
1238
a tree with a ``branch`` attribute of the right format. This was
1239
preventing some ``RemoteBranch`` tests from actually running with
1240
``RemoteBranch`` instances. (Andrew Bennetts)
1244
* Removed ``Repository.text_store``, ``control_store``, etc. Instead,
1245
there are new attributes ``texts, inventories, revisions,
1246
signatures``, each of which is a ``VersionedFiles``. See the
1247
Repository docstring for more details.
1250
* ``Branch.pull`` now accepts an ``_override_hook_target`` optional
1251
parameter. If you have a subclass of ``Branch`` that overrides
1252
``pull`` then you should add this parameter. (Andrew Bennetts)
1254
* ``bzrlib.check.check()`` has been deprecated in favour of the more
1255
aptly-named ``bzrlib.check.check_branch()``.
1258
* ``Tree.print_file`` and ``Repository.print_file`` are deprecated.
1259
These methods are bad APIs because they write directly to sys.stdout.
1260
bzrlib does not use them internally, and there are no direct tests
1261
for them. (Alexander Belchenko)
1265
* ``cat`` command no longer uses ``Tree.print_file()`` internally.
1266
(Alexander Belchenko)
1268
* New class method ``BzrDir.open_containing_tree_branch_or_repository``
1269
which eases the discovery of the tree, the branch and the repository
1270
containing a given location.
1273
* New ``versionedfile.KeyMapper`` interface to abstract out the access to
1274
underlying .knit/.kndx etc files in repositories with partitioned
1275
storage. (Robert Collins)
1277
* Obsolete developer-use command ``weave-join`` has been removed.
1280
* ``RemoteToOtherFetcher`` and ``get_data_stream_for_search`` removed,
1281
to support new ``VersionedFiles`` layering.
1285
bzr 1.6beta2 2008-06-10
1286
-----------------------
1288
This release contains further progress towards our 1.6 goals of shallow
1289
repositories, and contains a fix for some user-affecting bugs in the
1290
repository layer. Building working trees during checkout and branch is
1295
* Avoid KnitCorrupt error extracting inventories from some repositories.
1296
(The data is not corrupt; an internal check is detecting a problem
1297
reading from the repository.)
1298
(Martin Pool, Andrew Bennetts, Robert Collins, #234748)
1300
* ``bzr status`` was breaking if you merged the same revision twice.
1301
(John Arbash Meinel, #235407)
1303
* Fix infinite loop consuming 100% CPU when a connection is lost while
1304
reading a response body via the smart protocol v1 or v2.
1307
* Inserting a bundle which changes the contents of a file with no trailing
1308
end of line, causing a knit snapshot in a 'knits' repository will no longer
1309
cause KnitCorrupt. (Robert Collins)
1311
* ``RemoteBranch.pull`` needs to return the ``self._real_branch``'s
1312
pull result. It was instead just returning None, which breaks ``bzr
1313
pull``. (John Arbash Meinel, #238149)
1315
* Sanitize branch nick before using it as an attachment filename in
1316
``bzr send``. (Lukáš Lalinský, #210218)
1318
* Squash ``inv_entry.symlink_target`` to a plain string when
1319
generating DirState details. This prevents from getting a
1320
``UnicodeError`` when you have symlinks and non-ascii filenames.
1321
(John Arbash Meinel, #135320)
1325
* Added the 'alias' command to set/unset and display aliases. (Tim Penhey)
1327
* ``added``, ``modified``, and ``unknowns`` behaviour made consistent (all three
1328
now quote paths where required). Added ``--null`` option to ``added`` and
1329
``modified`` (for null-separated unknowns, use ``ls --unknown --null``)
1332
* Faster branching (1.09x) and lightweight checkouts (1.06x) on large trees.
1333
(Ian Clatworthy, Aaron Bentley)
1337
* Added *Bazaar Zen* section to the User Guide. (Ian Clatworthy)
1341
* Fix the test HTTPServer to be isolated from chdir calls made while it is
1342
running, allowing it to be used in blackbox tests. (Robert Collins)
1346
* ``WorkingTree.set_parent_(ids/trees)`` will now filter out revisions
1347
which are in the ancestry of other revisions. So if you merge the same
1348
tree twice, or merge an ancestor of an existing merge, it will only
1349
record the newest. (If you merge a descendent, it will replace its
1350
ancestor). (John Arbash Meinel, #235407)
1352
* ``RepositoryPolicy.__init__`` now requires stack_on and stack_on_pwd,
1353
through the derived classes do not. (Aaron Bentley)
1357
* ``bzrlib.bzrdir.BzrDir.sprout`` now accepts ``stacked`` to control
1358
creating stacked branches. (Robert Collins)
1360
* Knit record serialisation is now stricter on what it will accept, to
1361
guard against potential internal bugs, or broken input. (Robert Collins)
1364
bzr 1.6beta1 2008-06-02
1365
-----------------------
1368
Commands that work on the revision history such as push, pull, missing,
1369
uncommit and log are now substantially faster. This release adds a
1370
translation of some of the user documentation into Spanish. (Contributions of
1371
other translations would be very welcome.) Bazaar 1.6beta1 adds a new network
1372
protocol which is used by default and which allows for more efficient transfers
1373
and future extensions.
1376
NOTES WHEN UPGRADING:
1378
* There is a new version of the network protocol used for bzr://, bzr+ssh://
1379
and bzr+http:// connections. This will allow more efficient requests and
1380
responses, and more graceful fallback when a server is too old to
1381
recognise a request from a more recent client. Bazaar 1.6 will
1382
interoperate with 0.16 and later versions, but servers should be upgraded
1383
when possible. Bazaar 1.6 no longer interoperates with 0.15 and earlier via
1384
these protocols. Use alternatives like SFTP or upgrade those servers.
1385
(Andrew Bennetts, #83935)
1389
* Deprecation warnings will not be suppressed when running ``bzr selftest``
1390
so that developers can see if their code is using deprecated functions.
1391
(John Arbash Meinel)
1395
* Adding ``-Derror`` will now display a traceback when a plugin fails to
1396
load. (James Westby)
1400
* ``bzr branch/push/pull -r XXX`` now have a helper function for finding
1401
the revno of the new revision (``Graph.find_distance_to_null``). This
1402
should make something like ``bzr branch -r -100`` in a shared, no-trees
1403
repository much snappier. (John Arbash Meinel)
1405
* ``bzr log --short -r X..Y`` no longer needs to access the full revision
1406
history. This makes it noticeably faster when logging the last few
1407
revisions. (John Arbash Meinel)
1409
* ``bzr ls`` now accepts ``-V`` as an alias for ``--versioned``.
1410
(Jerad Cramp, #165086)
1412
* ``bzr missing`` uses the new ``Graph.find_unique_ancestors`` and
1413
``Graph.find_differences`` to determine missing revisions without having
1414
to search the whole ancestry. (John Arbash Meinel, #174625)
1416
* ``bzr uncommit`` now uses partial history access, rather than always
1417
extracting the full revision history for a branch. This makes it
1418
resolve the appropriate revisions much faster (in testing it drops
1419
uncommit from 1.5s => 0.4s). It also means ``bzr log --short`` is one
1420
step closer to not using full revision history.
1421
(John Arbash Meinel, #172649)
1425
* ``bzr merge --lca`` should handle when two revisions have no common
1426
ancestor other than NULL_REVISION. (John Arbash Meinel, #235715)
1428
* ``bzr status`` was breaking if you merged the same revision twice.
1429
(John Arbash Meinel, #235407)
1431
* ``bzr push`` with both ``--overwrite`` and ``-r NNN`` options no longer
1432
fails. (Andrew Bennetts, #234229)
1434
* Correctly track the base URL of a smart medium when using bzr+http://
1435
URLs, which was causing spurious "No repository present" errors with
1436
branches in shared repositories accessed over bzr+http.
1437
(Andrew Bennetts, #230550)
1439
* Define ``_remote_is_at_least_1_2`` on ``SmartClientMedium`` so that all
1440
implementations have the attribute. Fixes 'PyCurlTransport' object has no
1441
attribute '_remote_is_at_least_1_2' attribute errors.
1442
(Andrew Bennetts, #220806)
1444
* Failure to delete an obsolete pack file should just give a warning
1445
message, not a fatal error. It may for example fail if the file is still
1446
in use by another process.
1449
* Fix MemoryError during large fetches over HTTP by limiting the amount of
1450
data we try to read per ``recv`` call. The problem was observed with
1451
Windows and a proxy, but might affect other environments as well.
1452
(Eric Holmberg, #215426)
1454
* Handle old merge directives correctly in Merger.from_mergeable. Stricter
1455
get_parent_map requirements exposed a latent bug here. (Aaron Bentley)
1457
* Issue a warning and ignore passwords declared in authentication.conf when
1458
used for an ssh scheme (sftp or bzr+ssh).
1459
(Vincent Ladeuil, #203186)
1461
* Make both http implementations raise appropriate exceptions on 403
1462
Forbidden when POSTing smart requests.
1463
(Vincent Ladeuil, #230223)
1465
* Properly *title* header names in http requests instead of capitalizing
1467
(Vincent Ladeuil, #229076)
1469
* The "Unable to obtain lock" error message now also suggests using
1470
``bzr break-lock`` to fix it. (Martin Albisetti, #139202)
1472
* Treat an encoding of '' as ascii; this can happen when bzr is run
1473
under vim on Mac OS X.
1474
(Neil Martinsen-Burrell)
1476
* ``VersionedFile.make_mpdiffs()`` was raising an exception that wasn't in
1477
scope. (Daniel Fischer #235687)
1481
* Added directory structure and started translation of docs in spanish.
1482
(Martin Albisetti, Lucio Albenga)
1484
* Incorporate feedback from Jelmer Vernooij and Neil Martinsen-Burrell
1485
on the plugin and integration chapters of the User Guide.
1488
* More Bazaar developer documentation about packaging and release process,
1489
and about use of Python reprs.
1490
(Martin Pool, Martin Albisetti)
1492
* Updated Tortise strategy document. (Mark Hammond)
1496
* ``bzrlib.tests.adapt_tests`` was broken and unused - it has been fixed.
1499
* Fix the test HTTPServer to be isolated from chdir calls made while it is
1500
running, allowing it to be used in blackbox tests. (Robert Collins)
1502
* New helper function for splitting test suites
1503
``split_suite_by_condition``. (Robert Collins)
1507
* ``Branch.missing_revisions`` has been deprecated. Similar functionality
1508
can be obtained using ``bzrlib.missing.find_unmerged``. The api was
1509
fairly broken, and the function was unused, so we are getting rid of it.
1510
(John Arbash Meinel)
1514
* ``Branch.abspath`` is deprecated; use the Tree or Transport
1515
instead. (Martin Pool)
1517
* ``Branch.update_revisions`` now takes an optional ``Graph``
1518
object. This can be used by ``update_revisions`` when it is
1519
checking ancestry, and allows callers to prefer request to go to a
1520
local branch. (John Arbash Meinel)
1522
* Branch, Repository, Tree and BzrDir should expose a Transport as an
1523
attribute if they have one, rather than having it indirectly accessible
1524
as ``.control_files._transport``. This doesn't add a requirement
1525
to support a Transport in cases where it was not needed before;
1526
it just simplifies the way it is reached. (Martin Pool)
1528
* ``bzr missing --mine-only`` will return status code 0 if you have no
1529
new revisions, but the remote does. Similarly for ``--theirs-only``.
1530
The new code only checks one side, so it doesn't know if the other
1531
side has changes. This seems more accurate with the request anyway.
1532
It also changes the output to print '[This|Other] branch is up to
1533
date.' rather than displaying nothing. (John Arbash Meinel)
1535
* ``LockableFiles.put_utf8``, ``put_bytes`` and ``controlfilename``
1536
are now deprecated in favor of using Transport operations.
1539
* Many methods on ``VersionedFile``, ``Repository`` and in
1540
``bzrlib.revision`` deprecated before bzrlib 1.5 have been removed.
1543
* ``RevisionSpec.wants_revision_history`` can be set to False for a given
1544
``RevisionSpec``. This will disable the existing behavior of passing in
1545
the full revision history to ``self._match_on``. Useful for specs that
1546
don't actually need access to the full history. (John Arbash Meinel)
1548
* The constructors of ``SmartClientMedium`` and its subclasses now require a
1549
``base`` parameter. ``SmartClientMedium`` implementations now also need
1550
to provide a ``remote_path_from_transport`` method. (Andrew Bennetts)
1552
* The default permissions for creating new files and directories
1553
should now be obtained from ``BzrDir._get_file_mode()`` and
1554
``_get_dir_mode()``, rather than from LockableFiles. The ``_set_file_mode``
1555
and ``_set_dir_mode`` variables on LockableFiles which were advertised
1556
as a way for plugins to control this are no longer consulted.
1559
* ``VersionedFile.join`` is deprecated. This method required local
1560
instances of both versioned file objects and was thus hostile to being
1561
used for streaming from a smart server. The new get_record_stream and
1562
insert_record_stream are meant to efficiently replace this method.
1565
* ``WorkingTree.set_parent_(ids/trees)`` will now filter out revisions
1566
which are in the ancestry of other revisions. So if you merge the same
1567
tree twice, or merge an ancestor of an existing merge, it will only
1568
record the newest. (If you merge a descendent, it will replace its
1569
ancestor). (John Arbash Meinel, #235407)
1571
* ``WorkingTreeFormat2.stub_initialize_remote`` is now private.
1578
This release of Bazaar includes several updates to the documentation, and fixes
1579
to prepare for making rich root support the default format. Many bugs have been
1580
squashed, including fixes to log, bzr+ssh inter-operation with older servers.
1584
* Suppress deprecation warnings when bzrlib is a 'final' release. This way
1585
users of packaged software won't be bothered with DeprecationWarnings,
1586
but developers and testers will still see them. (John Arbash Meinel)
1590
* Incorporate feedback from Jelmer Vernooij and Neil Martinsen-Burrell
1591
on the plugin and integration chapters of the User Guide.
1595
bzr 1.5rc1 2008-05-09
1596
---------------------
1598
NOTES WHEN UPGRADING:
1602
* Broader support of GNU Emacs mail clients. Set
1603
``mail_client=emacsclient`` in your bazaar.conf and ``send`` will pop the
1604
bundle in a mail buffer according to the value of ``mail-user-agent``
1605
variable. (Xavier Maillard)
1611
* Diff now handles revision specs like "branch:" and "submit:" more
1612
efficiently. (Aaron Bentley, #202928)
1614
* More friendly error given when attempt to start the smart server
1615
on an address already in use. (Andrea Corbellini, #200575)
1617
* Pull completes much faster when there is nothing to pull.
1622
* Authentication.conf can define sections without password.
1623
(Vincent Ladeuil, #199440)
1625
* Avoid muttering every time a child update does not cause a progress bar
1626
update. (John Arbash Meinel, #213771)
1628
* ``Branch.reconcile()`` is now implemented. This allows ``bzr reconcile``
1629
to fix when a Branch has a non-canonical mainline history. ``bzr check``
1630
also detects this condition. (John Arbash Meinel, #177855)
1632
* ``bzr log -r ..X bzr://`` was failing, because it was getting a request
1633
for ``revision_id=None`` which was not a string.
1634
(John Arbash Meinel, #211661)
1636
* ``bzr commit`` now works with Microsoft's FTP service.
1639
* Catch definitions outside sections in authentication.conf.
1640
(Vincent Ladeuil, #217650)
1642
* Conversion from non-rich-root to rich-root(-pack) updates inventory
1643
sha1s, even when bundles are used. (Aaron Bentley, #181391)
1645
* Conversion from non-rich-root to rich-root(-pack) works correctly even
1646
though search keys are not topologically sorted. (Aaron Bentley)
1648
* Conversion from non-rich-root to rich-root(-pack) works even when a
1649
parent revision has a different root id. (Aaron Bentley, #177874)
1651
* Disable strace testing until strace is fixed (see bug #103133) and emit a
1652
warning when selftest ends to remind us of leaking tests.
1653
(Vincent Ladeuil, #226769)
1655
* Fetching all revisions from a repository does not cause pack collisions.
1656
(Robert Collins, Aaron Bentley, #212908)
1658
* Fix error about "attempt to add line-delta in non-delta knit".
1659
(Andrew Bennetts, #217701)
1661
* Pushing a branch in "dirstate" format (Branch5) over bzr+ssh would break
1662
if the remote server was < version 1.2. This was due to a bug in the
1663
RemoteRepository.get_parent_map() fallback code.
1664
(John Arbash Meinel, #214894)
1666
* Remove leftover code in ``bzr_branch`` that inappropriately creates
1667
a ``branch-name`` file in the branch control directory.
1670
* Set SO_REUSEADDR on server sockets of ``bzr serve`` to avoid problems
1671
rebinding the socket when starting the server a second time.
1672
(John Arbash Meinel, Martin Pool, #164288)
1674
* Severe performance degradation in fetching from knit repositories to
1675
knits and packs due to parsing the entire revisions.kndx on every graph
1676
walk iteration fixed by using the Repository.get_graph API. There was
1677
another regression in knit => knit fetching which re-read the index for
1678
every revision each side had in common.
1679
(Robert Collins, John Arbash Meinel)
1681
* When logging the changes to a particular file, there was a bug if there
1682
were ghosts in the revision ancestry. (John Arbash Meinel, #209948)
1684
* xs4all's ftp server returns a temporary error when trying to list an
1685
empty directory, rather than returning an empty list. Adding a
1686
workaround so that we don't get spurious failures.
1687
(John Arbash Meinel, #215522)
1691
* Expanded the User Guide to include new chapters on popular plugins and
1692
integrating Bazaar into your environment. The *Best practices* chapter
1693
was renamed to *Miscellaneous topics* as suggested by community
1694
feedback as well. (Ian Clatworthy)
1696
* Document outlining strategies for TortoiseBzr. (Mark Hammond)
1698
* Improved the documentation on hooks. (Ian Clatworthy)
1700
* Update authentication docs regarding ssh agents.
1701
(Vincent Ladeuil, #183705)
1705
* Add ``thread_name_suffix`` parameter to SmartTCPServer_for_testing, to
1706
make it easy to identify which test spawned a thread with an unhandled
1707
exception. (Andrew Bennetts)
1709
* New ``--debugflag``/``-E`` option to ``bzr selftest`` for setting
1710
options for debugging tests, these are complementary to the the -D
1711
options. The ``-Dselftest_debug`` global option has been replaced by the
1712
``-E=allow_debug`` option for selftest. (Andrew Bennetts)
1714
* Parameterised test ids are preserved correctly to aid diagnosis of test
1715
failures. (Robert Collins, Andrew Bennetts)
1717
* selftest now accepts --starting-with <id> to load only the tests whose id
1718
starts with the one specified. This greatly speeds up running the test
1719
suite on a limited set of tests and can be used to run the tests for a
1720
single module, a single class or even a single test. (Vincent Ladeuil)
1722
* The test suite modules have been modified to define load_tests() instead
1723
of test_suite(). That speeds up selective loading (via --load-list)
1724
significantly and provides many examples on how to migrate (grep for
1725
load_tests). (Vincent Ladeuil)
1729
* ``Hooks.install_hook`` is now deprecated in favour of
1730
``Hooks.install_named_hook`` which adds a required ``name`` parameter, to
1731
avoid having to call ``Hooks.name_hook``. (Daniel Watkins)
1733
* Implement xml8 serializer. (Aaron Bentley)
1735
* New form ``@deprecated_method(deprecated_in(1, 5, 0))`` for making
1736
deprecation wrappers. (Martin Pool)
1738
* ``Repository.revision_parents`` is now deprecated in favour of
1739
``Repository.get_parent_map([revid])[revid]``. (Jelmer Vernooij)
1741
* The Python ``assert`` statement is no longer used in Bazaar source, and
1742
a test checks this. (Martin Pool)
1746
* ``bzrlib.status.show_pending_merges`` requires the repository to be
1747
locked by the caller. Callers should have been doing it anyway, but it
1748
will now raise an exception if they do not. (John Arbash Meinel)
1750
* Repository.get_data_stream, Repository.get_data_stream_for_search(),
1751
Repository.get_deltas_for_revsions(), Repository.revision_trees(),
1752
Repository.item_keys_introduced_by() no longer take read locks.
1755
* ``LockableFiles.get_utf8`` and ``.get`` are deprecated, as a start
1756
towards removing LockableFiles and ``.control_files`` entirely.
1759
* Methods deprecated prior to 1.1 have been removed.
1766
This release of Bazaar includes handy improvements to the speed of log and
1767
status, new options for several commands, improved documentation, and better
1768
hooks, including initial code for server-side hooks. A number of bugs have
1769
been fixed, particularly in interoperability between different formats or
1770
different releases of Bazaar over there network. There's been substantial
1771
internal work in both the repository and network code to enable new features
1772
and faster performance.
1776
* Pushing a branch in "dirstate" format (Branch5) over bzr+ssh would break
1777
if the remote server was < version 1.2. This was due to a bug in the
1778
RemoteRepository.get_parent_map() fallback code.
1779
(John Arbash Meinel, Andrew Bennetts, #214894)
1782
bzr 1.4rc2 2008-04-21
1783
---------------------
1787
* ``bzr log -r ..X bzr://`` was failing, because it was getting a request
1788
for ``revision_id=None`` which was not a string.
1789
(John Arbash Meinel, #211661)
1791
* Fixed a bug in handling ghost revisions when logging changes in a
1792
particular file. (John Arbash Meinel, #209948)
1794
* Fix error about "attempt to add line-delta in non-delta knit".
1795
(Andrew Bennetts, #205156)
1797
* Fixed performance degradation in fetching from knit repositories to
1798
knits and packs due to parsing the entire revisions.kndx on every graph
1799
walk iteration fixed by using the Repository.get_graph API. There was
1800
another regression in knit => knit fetching which re-read the index for
1801
every revision each side had in common.
1802
(Robert Collins, John Arbash Meinel)
1805
bzr 1.4rc1 2008-04-11
1806
---------------------
1810
* bzr main script cannot be imported (Benjamin Peterson)
1812
* On Linux bzr additionally looks for plugins in arch-independent site
1813
directory. (Toshio Kuratomi)
1815
* The ``set_rh`` branch hook is now deprecated. Please migrate
1816
any plugins using this hook to use an alternative, e.g.
1817
``post_change_branch_tip``. (Ian Clatworthy)
1819
* When a plugin cannot be loaded as the file path is not a valid
1820
python module name bzr will now strip a ``bzr_`` prefix from the
1821
front of the suggested name, as many plugins (e.g. bzr-svn)
1822
want to be installed without this prefix. It is a common mistake
1823
to have a folder named "bzr-svn" for that plugin, especially
1824
as this is what bzr branch lp:bzr-svn will give you. (James Westby,
1827
* UniqueIntegerBugTracker now appends bug-ids instead of joining
1828
them to the base URL. Plugins that register bug trackers may
1829
need a trailing / added to the base URL if one is not already there.
1830
(James Wesby, Andrew Cowie)
1834
* Added start_commit hook for mutable trees. (Jelmer Vernooij, #186422)
1836
* ``status`` now accepts ``--no-pending`` to show the status without
1837
listing pending merges, which speeds up the command a lot on large
1838
histories. (James Westby, #202830)
1840
* New ``post_change_branch_tip`` hook that is called after the
1841
branch tip is moved but while the branch is still write-locked.
1842
See the User Reference for signature details.
1843
(Ian Clatworthy, James Henstridge)
1845
* Reconfigure can convert a branch to be standalone or to use a shared
1846
repository. (Aaron Bentley)
1850
* The smart protocol now has support for setting branches' revision info
1851
directly. This should make operations like push slightly faster, and is a
1852
step towards server-side hooks. The new request method name is
1853
``Branch.set_last_revision_info``. (Andrew Bennetts)
1855
* ``bzr commit --fixes`` now recognises "gnome" as a tag by default.
1856
(James Westby, Andrew Cowie)
1858
* ``bzr switch`` will attempt to find branches to switch to relative to the
1859
current branch. E.g. ``bzr switch branchname`` will look for
1860
``current_branch/../branchname``. (Robert Collins, Jelmer Vernooij,
1863
* Diff is now more specific about execute-bit changes it describes
1866
* Fetching data over HTTP is a bit faster when urllib is used. This is done
1867
by forcing it to recv 64k at a time when reading lines in HTTP headers,
1868
rather than just 1 byte at a time. (Andrew Bennetts)
1870
* Log --short and --line are much faster when -r is not specified.
1873
* Merge is faster. We no longer check a file's existence unnecessarily
1874
when merging the execute bit. (Aaron Bentley)
1876
* ``bzr status`` on an explicit list of files no longer shows pending
1877
merges, making it much faster on large trees. (John Arbash Meinel)
1879
* The launchpad directory service now warns the user if they have not set
1880
their launchpad login and are trying to resolve a URL using it, just
1881
in case they want to do a write operation with it. (James Westby)
1883
* The smart protocol client is slightly faster, because it now only queries
1884
the server for the protocol version once per connection. Also, the HTTP
1885
transport will now automatically probe for and use a smart server if
1886
one is present. You can use the new ``nosmart+`` transport decorator
1887
to get the old behaviour. (Andrew Bennetts)
1889
* The ``version`` command takes a ``--short`` option to print just the
1890
version number, for easier use in scripts. (Martin Pool)
1892
* Various operations with revision specs and commands that calculate
1893
revnos and revision ids are faster. (John A. Meinel, Aaron Bentley)
1897
* Add ``root_client_path`` parameter to SmartWSGIApp and
1898
SmartServerRequest. This makes it possible to publish filesystem
1899
locations that don't exactly match URL paths. SmartServerRequest
1900
subclasses should use the new ``translate_client_path`` and
1901
``transport_from_client_path`` methods when dealing with paths received
1902
from a client to take this into account. (Andrew Bennetts, #124089)
1904
* ``bzr mv a b`` can be now used also to rename previously renamed
1905
directories, not only files. (Lukáš Lalinský, #107967)
1907
* ``bzr uncommit --local`` can now remove revisions from the local
1908
branch to be symmetric with ``bzr commit --local``.
1909
(John Arbash Meinel, #93412)
1911
* Don't ask for a password if there is no real terminal.
1912
(Alexander Belchenko, #69851)
1914
* Fix a bug causing a ValueError crash in ``parse_line_delta_iter`` when
1915
fetching revisions from a knit to pack repository or vice versa using
1916
bzr:// (including over http or ssh).
1917
(#208418, Andrew Bennetts, Martin Pool, Robert Collins)
1919
* Fixed ``_get_line`` in ``bzrlib.smart.medium``, which was buggy. Also
1920
fixed ``_get_bytes`` in the same module to use the push back buffer.
1921
These bugs had no known impact in normal use, but were problematic for
1922
developers working on the code, and were likely to cause real bugs sooner
1923
or later. (Andrew Bennetts)
1925
* Implement handling of basename parameter for DefaultMail. (James Westby)
1927
* Incompatibility with Paramiko versions newer than 1.7.2 was fixed.
1928
(Andrew Bennetts, #213425)
1930
* Launchpad locations (lp: URLs) can be pulled. (Aaron Bentley, #181945)
1932
* Merges that add files to deleted root directories complete. They
1933
do create conflicts. (Aaron Bentley, #210092)
1935
* vsftp's return ``550 RNFR command failed.`` supported.
1936
(Marcus Trautwig, #129786)
1940
* Improved documentation on send/merge relationship. (Peter Schuller)
1942
* Minor fixes to the User Guide. (Matthew Fuller)
1944
* Reduced the evangelism in the User Guide. (Ian Clatworthy)
1946
* Added Integrating with Bazaar document for developers (Martin Albisetti)
1950
* Attempting to pull data from a ghost aware repository (e.g. knits) into a
1951
non-ghost aware repository such as weaves will now fail if there are
1952
ghosts. (Robert Collins)
1954
* ``KnitVersionedFile`` no longer accepts an ``access_mode`` parameter, and
1955
now requires the ``index`` and ``access_method`` parameters to be
1956
supplied. A compatible shim has been kept in the new function
1957
``knit.make_file_knit``. (Robert Collins)
1959
* Log formatters must now provide log_revision instead of show and
1960
show_merge_revno methods. The latter had been deprecated since the 0.17
1961
release. (James Westby)
1963
* ``LoopbackSFTP`` is now called ``SocketAsChannelAdapter``.
1966
* ``osutils.backup_file`` is removed. (Alexander Belchenko)
1968
* ``Repository.get_revision_graph`` is deprecated, with no replacement
1969
method. The method was size(history) and not desirable. (Robert Collins)
1971
* ``revision.revision_graph`` is deprecated, with no replacement function.
1972
The function was size(history) and not desirable. (Robert Collins)
1974
* ``Transport.get_shared_medium`` is deprecated. Use
1975
``Transport.get_smart_medium`` instead. (Andrew Bennetts)
1977
* ``VersionedFile`` factories now accept a get_scope parameter rather
1978
than using a call to ``transaction_finished``, allowing the removal of
1979
the fixed list of versioned files per repository. (Robert Collins)
1981
* ``VersionedFile.annotate_iter`` is deprecated. While in principle this
1982
allowed lower memory use, all users of annotations wanted full file
1983
annotations, and there is no storage format suitable for incremental
1984
line-by-line annotation. (Robert Collins)
1986
* ``VersionedFile.clone_text`` is deprecated. This performance optimisation
1987
is no longer used - reading the content of a file that is undergoing a
1988
file level merge to identical state on two branches is rare enough, and
1989
not expensive enough to special case. (Robert Collins)
1991
* ``VersionedFile.clear_cache`` and ``enable_cache`` are deprecated.
1992
These methods added significant complexity to the ``VersionedFile``
1993
implementation, but were only used for optimising fetches from knits -
1994
which can be done from outside the knit layer, or via a caching
1995
decorator. As knits are not the default format, the complexity is no
1996
longer worth paying. (Robert Collins)
1998
* ``VersionedFile.create_empty`` is removed. This method presupposed a
1999
sensible mapping to a transport for individual files, but pack backed
2000
versioned files have no such mapping. (Robert Collins)
2002
* ``VersionedFile.get_graph`` is deprecated, with no replacement method.
2003
The method was size(history) and not desirable. (Robert Collins)
2005
* ``VersionedFile.get_graph_with_ghosts`` is deprecated, with no
2006
replacement method. The method was size(history) and not desirable.
2009
* ``VersionedFile.get_parents`` is deprecated, please use
2010
``VersionedFile.get_parent_map``. (Robert Collins)
2012
* ``VersionedFile.get_sha1`` is deprecated, please use
2013
``VersionedFile.get_sha1s``. (Robert Collins)
2015
* ``VersionedFile.has_ghost`` is now deprecated, as it is both expensive
2016
and unused outside of a single test. (Robert Collins)
2018
* ``VersionedFile.iter_parents`` is now deprecated in favour of
2019
``get_parent_map`` which can be used to instantiate a Graph on a
2020
VersionedFile. (Robert Collins)
2022
* ``VersionedFileStore`` no longer uses the transaction parameter given
2023
to most methods; amongst other things this means that the
2024
get_weave_or_empty method no longer guarantees errors on a missing weave
2025
in a readonly transaction, and no longer caches versioned file instances
2026
which reduces memory pressure (but requires more careful management by
2027
callers to preserve performance). (Robert Collins)
2031
* New -Dselftest_debug flag disables clearing of the debug flags during
2032
tests. This is useful if you want to use e.g. -Dhpss to help debug a
2033
failing test. Be aware that using this feature is likely to cause
2034
spurious test failures if used with the full suite. (Andrew Bennetts)
2036
* selftest --load-list now uses a new more agressive test loader that will
2037
avoid loading unneeded modules and building their tests. Plugins can use
2038
this new loader by defining a load_tests function instead of a test_suite
2039
function. (a forthcoming patch will provide many examples on how to
2043
* selftest --load-list now does some sanity checks regarding duplicate test
2044
IDs and tests present in the list but not found in the actual test suite.
2047
* Slightly more concise format for the selftest progress bar, so there's
2048
more space to show the test name. (Martin Pool) ::
2050
[2500/10884, 1fail, 3miss in 1m29s] test_revisionnamespaces.TestRev
2052
* The test suite takes much less memory to run, and is a bit faster. This
2053
is done by clearing most attributes of TestCases after running them, if
2054
they succeeded. (Andrew Bennetts)
2058
* Added ``_build_client_protocol`` to ``_SmartClient``. (Andrew Bennetts)
2060
* Added basic infrastructure for automatic plugin suggestion.
2063
* If a ``LockableFiles`` object is not explicitly unlocked (for example
2064
because of a missing ``try/finally`` block, it will give a warning but
2065
not automatically unlock itself. (Previously they did.) This
2066
sometimes caused knock-on errors if for example the network connection
2067
had already failed, and should not be relied upon by code.
2068
(Martin Pool, #109520)
2070
* ``make dist`` target to build a release tarball, and also
2071
``check-dist-tarball`` and ``dist-upload-escudero``. (Martin Pool)
2073
* The ``read_response_tuple`` method of ``SmartClientRequestProtocol*``
2074
classes will now raise ``UnknownSmartMethod`` when appropriate, so that
2075
callers don't need to try distinguish unknown request errors from other
2076
errors. (Andrew Bennetts)
2078
* ``set_make_working_trees`` is now implemented provided on all repository
2079
implementations (Aaron Bentley)
2081
* ``VersionedFile`` now has a new method ``get_parent_map`` which, like
2082
``Graph.get_parent_map`` returns a dict of key:parents. (Robert Collins)
2085
bzr 1.3.1 2008-04-09
2086
--------------------
2088
No changes from 1.3.1rc1.
2091
bzr 1.3rc1 2008-04-04

---------------------
2096
* Fix a bug causing a ValueError crash in ``parse_line_delta_iter`` when

fetching revisions from a knit to pack repository or vice versa using
2098
bzr:// (including over http or ssh).
2099
(#208418, Andrew Bennetts, Martin Pool, Robert Collins)
2105
Bazaar has become part of the GNU project <http://www.gnu.org>
2107
Many operations that act on history, including ``log`` and ``annotate`` are now
2108
substantially faster. Several bugs have been fixed and several new options and
2109
features have been added.
2113
* Avoid spurious failure of ``TestVersion.test_version`` matching

(#202778, Martin Pool)
2118
bzr 1.3rc1 2008-03-16
2119
---------------------
2121
NOTES WHEN UPGRADING:
2123
* The backup directory created by ``upgrade`` is now called
2124
``backup.bzr``, not ``.bzr.backup``. (Martin Albisetti)
2128
* A new repository format 'development' has been added. This format will
2129
represent the latest 'in-progress' format that the bzr developers are
2130
interested in getting early-adopter testing and feedback on.
2131
``doc/developers/development-repo.txt`` has detailed information.
2134
* BZR_LOG environment variable controls location of .bzr.log trace file.
2135
User can suppress writing messages to .bzr.log by using '/dev/null'
2136
filename (on Linux) or 'NUL' (on Windows). If BZR_LOG variable
2137
is not defined but BZR_HOME is defined then default location
2138
for .bzr.log trace file is ``$BZR_HOME/.bzr.log``.
2139
(Alexander Belchenko)
2141
* ``launchpad`` builtin plugin now shipped as separate part in standalone
2142
bzr.exe, installed to ``C:\Program Files\Bazaar\plugins`` directory,
2143
and standalone installer allows user to skip installation of this plugin.
2144
(Alexander Belchenko)
2146
* Restore auto-detection of plink.exe on Windows. (Dmitry Vasiliev)
2148
* Version number is now shown as "1.2" or "1.2pr2", without zeroed or
2149
missing final fields. (Martin Pool)
2153
* ``branch`` and ``checkout`` can hard-link working tree files, which is
2154
faster and saves space. (Aaron Bentley)
2156
* ``bzr send`` will now also look at the ``child_submit_to`` setting in
2157
the submit branch to determine the email address to send to.
2162
* BzrBranch._lefthand_history is faster on pack repos. (Aaron Bentley)
2164
* Branch6.generate_revision_history is faster. (Aaron Bentley)
2166
* Directory services can now be registered, allowing special URLs to be
2167
dereferenced into real URLs. This is a generalization and cleanup of
2168
the lp: transport lookup. (Aaron Bentley)
2170
* Merge directives that are automatically attached to emails have nicer
2171
filenames, based on branch-nick + revno. (Aaron Bentley)
2173
* ``push`` has a ``--revision`` option, to specify what revision to push up
2174
to. (Daniel Watkins)
2176
* Significantly reducing execution time and network traffic for trivial
2177
case of running ``bzr missing`` command for two identical branches.
2178
(Alexander Belchenko)
2180
* Speed up operations that look at the revision graph (such as 'bzr log').
2181
``KnitPackRepositor.get_revision_graph`` uses ``Graph.iter_ancestry`` to
2182
extract the revision history. This allows filtering ghosts while
2183
stepping instead of needing to peek ahead. (John Arbash Meinel)
2185
* The ``hooks`` command lists installed hooks, to assist in debugging.
2188
* Updates to how ``annotate`` work. Should see a measurable improvement in
2189
performance and memory consumption for file with a lot of merges.
2190
Also, correctly handle when a line is introduced by both parents (it
2191
should be attributed to the first merge which notices this, and not
2192
to all subsequent merges.) (John Arbash Meinel)
2196
* Autopacking no longer holds the full set of inventory lines in
2197
memory while copying. For large repositories, this can amount to
2198
hundreds of MB of ram consumption.
2199
(Ian Clatworthy, John Arbash Meinel)
2201
* Cherrypicking when using ``--format=merge3`` now explictly excludes
2202
BASE lines. (John Arbash Meinel, #151731)
2204
* Disable plink's interactive prompt for password.
2205
(#107593, Dmitry Vasiliev)
2207
* Encode command line arguments from unicode to user_encoding before
2208
invoking external mail client in `bzr send` command.
2209
(#139318, Alexander Belchenko)
2211
* Fixed problem connecting to ``bzr+https://`` servers.
2212
(#198793, John Ferlito)
2214
* Improved error reporting in the Launchpad plugin. (Daniel Watkins,
2217
* Include quick-start-summary.svg file to python-based installer(s)
2218
for Windows. (#192924, Alexander Belchenko)
2220
* lca merge now respects specified files. (Aaron Bentley)
2222
* Make version-info --custom imply --all. (#195560, James Westby)
2224
* ``merge --preview`` now works for merges that add or modify
2225
symlinks (James Henstridge)
2227
* Redirecting the output from ``bzr merge`` (when the remembered
2228
location is used) now works. (John Arbash Meinel)
2230
* setup.py script explicitly checks for Python version.
2231
(Jari Aalto, Alexander Belchenko, #200569)
2233
* UnknownFormatErrors no longer refer to branches regardless of kind of
2234
unknown format. (Daniel Watkins, #173980)
2236
* Upgrade bundled ConfigObj to version 4.5.2, which properly quotes #
2237
signs, among other small improvements. (Matt Nordhoff, #86838)
2239
* Use correct indices when emitting LCA conflicts. This fixes IndexError
2240
errors. (Aaron Bentley, #196780)
2244
* Explained how to use ``version-info --custom`` in the User Guide.
2245
(Neil Martinsen-Burrell)
2249
* Support for loading plugins from zip files and
2250
``bzrlib.plugin.load_from_zip()`` function are deprecated.
2251
(Alexander Belchenko)
2255
* Added missing blackbox tests for ``modified`` (Adrian Wilkins)
2257
* The branch interface tests were invalid for branches using rich-root
2258
repositories because the empty string is not a valid file-id.
2263
* ``Graph.iter_ancestry`` returns the ancestry of revision ids. Similar to
2264
``Repository.get_revision_graph()`` except it includes ghosts and you can
2265
stop part-way through. (John Arbash Meinel)
2267
* New module ``tools/package_mf.py`` provide custom module finder for
2268
python packages (improves standard python library's modulefinder.py)
2269
used by ``setup.py`` script while building standalone bzr.exe.
2270
(Alexander Belchenko)
2272
* New remote method ``RemoteBzrDir.find_repositoryV2`` adding support for
2273
detecting external lookup support on remote repositories. This method is
2274
now attempted first when lookup up repositories, leading to an extra
2275
round trip on older bzr smart servers. (Robert Collins)
2277
* Repository formats have a new supported-feature attribute
2278
``supports_external_lookups`` used to indicate repositories which support
2279
falling back to other repositories when they have partial data.
2282
* ``Repository.get_revision_graph_with_ghosts`` and
2283
``bzrlib.revision.(common_ancestor,MultipleRevisionSources,common_graph)``
2284
have been deprecated. (John Arbash Meinel)
2286
* ``Tree.iter_changes`` is now a public API, replacing the work-in-progress
2287
``Tree._iter_changes``. The api is now considered stable and ready for
2288
external users. (Aaron Bentley)
2290
* The bzrdir format registry now accepts an ``alias`` keyword to
2291
register_metadir, used to indicate that a format name is an alias for
2292
some other format and thus should not be reported when describing the
2293
format. (Robert Collins)
2301
* Fix failing test in Launchpad plugin. (Martin Pool)
2304
bzr 1.2rc1 2008-02-13
2305
---------------------
2307
NOTES WHEN UPGRADING:
2309
* Fetching via the smart protocol may need to reconnect once during a fetch
2310
if the remote server is running Bazaar 1.1 or earlier, because the client
2311
attempts to use more efficient requests that confuse older servers. You
2312
may be required to re-enter a password or passphrase when this happens.
2313
This won't happen if the server is upgraded to Bazaar 1.2.
2318
* Fetching via bzr+ssh will no longer fill ghosts by default (this is
2319
consistent with pack-0.92 fetching over SFTP). (Robert Collins)
2321
* Formatting of ``bzr plugins`` output is changed to be more human-
2322
friendly. Full path of plugins locations will be shown only with
2323
``--verbose`` command-line option. (Alexander Belchenko)
2325
* ``merge`` now prefers to use the submit branch, but will fall back to
2326
parent branch. For many users, this has no effect. But some users who
2327
pull and merge on the same branch will notice a change. This change
2328
makes it easier to work on a branch on two different machines, pulling
2329
between the machines, while merging from the upstream.
2330
``merge --remember`` can now be used to set the submit_branch.
2335
* ``merge --preview`` produces a diff of the changes merge would make,
2336
but does not actually perform the merge. (Aaron Bentley)
2338
* New smart method ``Repository.get_parent_map`` for getting revision
2339
parent data. This returns additional parent information topologically
2340
adjacent to the requested data to reduce round trip latency impacts.
2343
* New smart method, ``Repository.stream_revisions_chunked``, for fetching
2344
revision data that streams revision data via a chunked encoding. This
2345
avoids buffering large amounts of revision data on the server and on the
2346
client, and sends less data to the server to request the revisions.
2347
(Andrew Bennetts, Robert Collins, #178353)
2349
* The launchpad plugin now handles lp urls of the form
2350
``lp://staging/``, ``lp://demo/``, ``lp://dev/`` to use the appropriate
2351
launchpad instance to do the resolution of the branch identities.
2352
This is primarily of use to Launchpad developers, but can also
2353
be used by other users who want to try out Launchpad as
2354
a branch location without messing up their public Launchpad
2355
account. Branches that are pushed to the staging environment
2356
have an expected lifetime of one day. (Tim Penhey)
2360
* Creating a new branch no longer tries to read the entire revision-history
2361
unnecessarily over smart server operations. (Robert Collins)
2363
* Fetching between different repository formats with compatible models now
2364
takes advantage of the smart method to stream revisions. (Andrew Bennetts)
2366
* The ``--coverage`` option is now global, rather specific to ``bzr
2367
selftest``. (Andrew Bennetts)
2369
* The ``register-branch`` command will now use the public url of the branch
2370
containing the current directory, if one has been set and no explicit
2371
branch is provided. (Robert Collins)
2373
* Tweak the ``reannotate`` code path to optimize the 2-parent case.
2374
Speeds up ``bzr annotate`` with a pack repository by approx 3:2.
2375
(John Arbash Meinel)
2379
* Calculate remote path relative to the shared medium in _SmartClient. This
2380
is related to the problem in bug #124089. (Andrew Bennetts)
2382
* Cleanly handle connection errors in smart protocol version two, the same
2383
way as they are handled by version one. (Andrew Bennetts)
2385
* Clearer error when ``version-info --custom`` is used without
2386
``--template`` (Lukáš Lalinský)
2388
* Don't raise UnavailableFeature during test setup when medusa is not
2389
available or tearDown is never called leading to nasty side effects.
2390
(#137823, Vincent Ladeuil)
2392
* If a plugin's test suite cannot be loaded, for example because of a syntax
2393
error in the tests, then ``selftest`` fails, rather than just printing
2394
a warning. (Martin Pool, #189771)
2396
* List possible values for BZR_SSH environment variable in env-variables
2397
help topic. (Alexander Belchenko, #181842)
2399
* New methods ``push_log_file`` and ``pop_log_file`` to intercept messages:
2400
popping the log redirection now precisely restores the previous state,
2401
which makes it easier to use bzr log output from other programs.
2402
TestCaseInTempDir no longer depends on a log redirection being established
2403
by the test framework, which lets bzr tests cleanly run from a normal
2405
(#124153, #124849, Martin Pool, Jonathan Lange)
2407
* ``pull --quiet`` is now more quiet, in particular a message is no longer
2408
printed when the remembered pull location is used. (James Westby,
2411
* ``reconfigure`` can safely be interrupted while fetching.
2412
(Aaron Bentley, #179316)
2414
* ``reconfigure`` preserves tags when converting to and from lightweight
2415
checkouts. (Aaron Bentley, #182040)
2417
* Stop polluting /tmp when running selftest.
2418
(Vincent Ladeuil, #123623)
2420
* Switch from NFKC => NFC for normalization checks. NFC allows a few
2421
more characters which should be considered valid.
2422
(John Arbash Meinel, #185458)
2424
* The launchpad plugin now uses the ``edge`` xmlrpc server to avoid
2425
interacting badly with a bug on the launchpad side. (Robert Collins)
2427
* Unknown hostnames when connecting to a ``bzr://`` URL no longer cause
2428
tracebacks. (Andrew Bennetts, #182849)
2432
* Classes implementing Merge types like Merge3Merger must now accept (and
2433
honour) a do_merge flag in their constructor. (Aaron Bentley)
2435
* ``Repository.add_inventory`` and ``add_revision`` now require the caller
2436
to previously take a write lock (and start a write group.)
2441
* selftest now accepts --load-list <file> to load a test id list. This
2442
speeds up running the test suite on a limited set of tests.
2447
* Add a new method ``get_result`` to graph search objects. The resulting
2448
``SearchResult`` can be used to recreate the search later, which will
2449
be useful in reducing network traffic. (Robert Collins)
2451
* Use convenience function to check whether two repository handles
2452
are referring to the same repository in ``Repository.get_graph``.
2453
(Jelmer Vernooij, #187162)
2455
* Fetching now passes the find_ghosts flag through to the
2456
``InterRepository.missing_revision_ids`` call consistently for all
2457
repository types. This will enable faster missing revision discovery with
2458
bzr+ssh. (Robert Collins)
2460
* Fix error handling in Repository.insert_data_stream. (Lukas Lalinsky)
2462
* ``InterRepository.missing_revision_ids`` is now deprecated in favour of
2463
``InterRepository.search_missing_revision_ids`` which returns a
2464
``bzrlib.graph.SearchResult`` suitable for making requests from the smart
2465
server. (Robert Collins)
2467
* New error ``NoPublicBranch`` for commands that need a public branch to
2468
operate. (Robert Collins)
2470
* New method ``iter_inventories`` on Repository for access to many
2471
inventories. This is primarily used by the ``revision_trees`` method, as
2472
direct access to inventories is discouraged. (Robert Collins)
2474
* New method ``next_with_ghosts`` on the Graph breadth-first-search objects
2475
which will split out ghosts and present parents into two separate sets,
2476
useful for code which needs to be aware of ghosts (e.g. fetching data
2477
cares about ghosts during revision selection). (Robert Collins)
2479
* Record a timestamp against each mutter to the trace file, relative to the
2480
first import of bzrlib. (Andrew Bennetts)
2482
* ``Repository.get_data_stream`` is now deprecated in favour of
2483
``Repository.get_data_stream_for_search`` which allows less network
2484
traffic when requesting data streams over a smart server. (Robert Collins)
2486
* ``RemoteBzrDir._get_tree_branch`` no longer triggers ``_ensure_real``,
2487
removing one round trip on many network operations. (Robert Collins)
2489
* RemoteTransport's ``recommended_page_size`` method now returns 64k, like
2490
SFTPTransport and HttpTransportBase. (Andrew Bennetts)
2492
* Repository has a new method ``has_revisions`` which signals the presence
2493
of many revisions by returning a set of the revisions listed which are
2494
present. This can be done by index queries without reading data for parent
2495
revision names etc. (Robert Collins)
2501
(no changes from 1.1rc1)
2503
bzr 1.1rc1 2008-01-05
2504
---------------------
2508
* Dotted revision numbers have been revised. Instead of growing longer with
2509
nested branches the branch number just increases. (eg instead of 1.1.1.1.1
2510
we now report 1.2.1.) This helps scale long lived branches which have many
2511
feature branches merged between them. (John Arbash Meinel)
2513
* The syntax ``bzr diff branch1 branch2`` is no longer supported.
2514
Use ``bzr diff branch1 --new branch2`` instead. This change has
2515
been made to remove the ambiguity where ``branch2`` is in fact a
2516
specific file to diff within ``branch1``.
2520
* New option to use custom template-based formats in ``bzr version-info``.
2523
* diff '--using' allows an external diff tool to be used for files.
2526
* New "lca" merge-type for fast everyday merging that also supports
2527
criss-cross merges. (Aaron Bentley)
2531
* ``annotate`` now doesn't require a working tree. (Lukáš Lalinský,
2534
* ``branch`` and ``checkout`` can now use files from a working tree to
2535
to speed up the process. For checkout, this requires the new
2536
--files-from flag. (Aaron Bentley)
2538
* ``bzr diff`` now sorts files in alphabetical order. (Aaron Bentley)
2540
* ``bzr diff`` now works on branches without working trees. Tree-less
2541
branches can also be compared to each other and to working trees using
2542
the new diff options ``--old`` and ``--new``. Diffing between branches,
2543
with or without trees, now supports specific file filtering as well.
2544
(Ian Clatworthy, #6700)
2546
* ``bzr pack`` now orders revision texts in topological order, with newest
2547
at the start of the file, promoting linear reads for ``bzr log`` and the
2548
like. This partially fixes #154129. (Robert Collins)
2550
* Merge directives now fetch prerequisites from the target branch if
2551
needed. (Aaron Bentley)
2553
* pycurl now handles digest authentication.
2556
* ``reconfigure`` can now convert from repositories. (Aaron Bentley)
2558
* ``-l`` is now a short form for ``--limit`` in ``log``. (Matt Nordhoff)
2560
* ``merge`` now warns when merge directives cause cherrypicks.
2563
* ``split`` now supported, to enable splitting large trees into smaller
2564
pieces. (Aaron Bentley)
2568
* Avoid AttributeError when unlocking a pack repository when an error occurs.
2569
(Martin Pool, #180208)
2571
* Better handle short reads when processing multiple range requests.
2572
(Vincent Ladeuil, #179368)
2574
* build_tree acceleration uses the correct path when a file has been moved.
2577
* ``commit`` now succeeds when a checkout and its master branch share a
2578
repository. (Aaron Bentley, #177592)
2580
* Fixed error reporting of unsupported timezone format in
2581
``log --timezone``. (Lukáš Lalinský, #178722)
2583
* Fixed Unicode encoding error in ``ignored`` when the output is
2584
redirected to a pipe. (Lukáš Lalinský)
2586
* Fix traceback when sending large response bodies over the smart protocol
2587
on Windows. (Andrew Bennetts, #115781)
2589
* Fix ``urlutils.relative_url`` for the case of two ``file:///`` URLs
2590
pointed to different logical drives on Windows.
2591
(Alexander Belchenko, #90847)
2593
* HTTP test servers are now compatible with the http protocol version 1.1.
2594
(Vincent Ladeuil, #175524)
2596
* _KnitParentsProvider.get_parent_map now handles requests for ghosts
2597
correctly, instead of erroring or attributing incorrect parents to ghosts.
2600
* ``merge --weave --uncommitted`` now works. (Aaron Bentley)
2602
* pycurl authentication handling was broken and incomplete. Fix handling of
2603
user:pass embedded in the urls.
2604
(Vincent Ladeuil, #177643)
2606
* Files inside non-directories are now handled like other conflict types.
2607
(Aaron Bentley, #177390)
2609
* ``reconfigure`` is able to convert trees into lightweight checkouts.
2612
* Reduce lockdir timeout to 0 when running ``bzr serve``. (Andrew Bennetts,
2615
* Test that the old ``version_info_format`` functions still work, even
2616
though they are deprecated. (John Arbash Meinel, ShenMaq, #177872)
2618
* Transform failures no longer cause ImmortalLimbo errors (Aaron Bentley,
2621
* ``uncommit`` works even when the commit messages of revisions to be
2622
removed use characters not supported in the terminal encoding.
2625
* When dumb http servers return whole files instead of the requested ranges,
2626
read the remaining bytes by chunks to avoid overflowing network buffers.
2627
(Vincent Ladeuil, #175886)
2631
* Minor tweaks made to the bug tracker integration documentation.
2634
* Reference material has now be moved out of the User Guide and added
2635
to the User Reference. The User Reference has gained 4 sections as
2636
a result: Authenication Settings, Configuration Settings, Conflicts
2637
and Hooks. All help topics are now dumped into text format in the
2638
doc/en/user-reference directory for those who like browsing that
2639
information in their editor. (Ian Clatworthy)
2641
* *Using Bazaar with Launchpad* tutorial added. (Ian Clatworthy)
2645
* find_* methods available for BzrDirs, Branches and WorkingTrees.
2648
* Help topics can now be loaded from files.
2649
(Ian Clatworthy, Alexander Belchenko)
2651
* get_parent_map now always provides tuples as its output. (Aaron Bentley)
2653
* Parent Providers should now implement ``get_parent_map`` returning a
2654
dictionary instead of ``get_parents`` returning a list.
2655
``Graph.get_parents`` is now deprecated. (John Arbash Meinel,
2658
* Patience Diff now supports arbitrary python objects, as long as they
2659
support ``hash()``. (John Arbash Meinel)
2661
* Reduce selftest overhead to establish test names by memoization.
2668
* Modules can now customise their tests by defining a ``load_tests``
2669
attribute. ``pydoc bzrlib.tests.TestUtil.TestLoader.loadTestsFromModule``
2670
for the documentation on this attribute. (Robert Collins)
2672
* New helper function ``bzrlib.tests.condition_id_re`` which helps
2673
filter tests based on a regular expression search on the tests id.
2676
* New helper function ``bzrlib.tests.condition_isinstance`` which helps
2677
filter tests based on class. (Robert Collins)
2679
* New helper function ``bzrlib.tests.exclude_suite_by_condition`` which
2680
generalises the ``exclude_suite_by_re`` function. (Robert Collins)
2682
* New helper function ``bzrlib.tests.filter_suite_by_condition`` which
2683
generalises the ``filter_suite_by_re`` function. (Robert Collins)
2685
* New helper method ``bzrlib.tests.exclude_tests_by_re`` which gives a new
2686
TestSuite that does not contain tests from the input that matched a
2687
regular expression. (Robert Collins)
2689
* New helper method ``bzrlib.tests.randomize_suite`` which returns a
2690
randomized copy of the input suite. (Robert Collins)
2692
* New helper method ``bzrlib.tests.split_suite_by_re`` which splits a test
2693
suite into two according to a regular expression. (Robert Collins)
2695
* Parametrize all http tests for the transport implementations, the http
2696
protocol versions (1.0 and 1.1) and the authentication schemes.
2699
* The ``exclude_pattern`` and ``random_order`` parameters to the function
2700
``bzrlib.tests.filter_suite_by_re`` have been deprecated. (Robert Collins)
2702
* The method ``bzrlib.tests.sort_suite_by_re`` has been deprecated. It is
2703
replaced by the new helper methods added in this release. (Robert Collins)
2711
* More improvements and fixes to the User Guide. (Ian Clatworthy)
2713
* Add information on cherrypicking/rebasing to the User Guide.
2716
* Improve bug tracker integration documentation. (Ian Clatworthy)
2718
* Minor edits to ``Bazaar in five minutes`` from David Roberts and
2719
to the rebasing section of the User Guide from Aaron Bentley.
2723
bzr 1.0rc3 2007-12-11
2724
---------------------
2728
* If a traceback occurs, users are now asked to report the bug
2729
through Launchpad (https://bugs.launchpad.net/bzr/), rather than
2730
by mail to the mailing list.
2735
* Fix Makefile rules for doc generation. (Ian Clatworthy, #175207)
2737
* Give more feedback during long http downloads by making readv deliver data
2738
as it arrives for urllib, and issue more requests for pycurl. High latency
2739
networks are better handled by urllib, the pycurl implementation give more
2740
feedback but also incur more latency.
2741
(Vincent Ladeuil, #173010)
2743
* Implement _make_parents_provider on RemoteRepository, allowing generating
2744
bundles against branches on a smart server. (Andrew Bennetts, #147836)
2748
* Improved user guide. (Ian Clatworthy)
2750
* The single-page quick reference guide is now available as a PDF.
2755
* readv urllib http implementation is now a real iterator above the
2756
underlying socket and deliver data as soon as it arrives. 'get' still
2757
wraps its output in a StringIO.
2761
bzr 1.0rc2 2007-12-07
2762
---------------------
2766
* Added a --coverage option to selftest. (Andrew Bennetts)
2768
* Annotate merge (merge-type=weave) now supports cherrypicking.
2771
* ``bzr commit`` now doesn't print the revision number twice. (Matt
2774
* New configuration option ``bugtracker_<tracker_abbrevation>_url`` to
2775
define locations of bug trackers that are not directly supported by
2776
bzr or a plugin. The URL will be treated as a template and ``{id}``
2777
placeholders will be replaced by specific bug IDs. (Lukáš Lalinský)
2779
* Support logging single merge revisions with short and line log formatters.
2782
* User Guide enhanced with suggested readability improvements from
2783
Matt Revell and corrections from John Arbash Meinel. (Ian Clatworthy)
2785
* Quick Start Guide renamed to Quick Start Card, moved down in
2786
the catalog, provided in pdf and png format and updated to refer
2787
to ``send`` instead of ``bundle``. (Ian Clatworthy, #165080)
2789
* ``switch`` can now be used on heavyweight checkouts as well as
2790
lightweight ones. After switching a heavyweight checkout, the
2791
local branch is a mirror/cache of the new bound branch and
2792
uncommitted changes in the working tree are merged. As a safety
2793
check, if there are local commits in a checkout which have not
2794
been committed to the previously bound branch, then ``switch``
2795
fails unless the ``--force`` option is given. This option is
2796
now also required if the branch a lightweight checkout is pointing
2797
to has been moved. (Ian Clatworthy)
2801
* New -Dhttp debug option reports http connections, requests and responses.
2804
* New -Dmerge debug option, which emits merge plans for merge-type=weave.
2808
* Better error message when running ``bzr cat`` on a non-existant branch.
2809
(Lukáš Lalinský, #133782)
2811
* Catch OSError 17 (file exists) in final phase of tree transform and show
2813
(Alexander Belchenko, #111758)
2815
* Catch ShortReadvErrors while using pycurl. Also make readv more robust by
2816
allowing multiple GET requests to be issued if too many ranges are
2818
(Vincent Ladeuil, #172701)
2820
* Check for missing basis texts when fetching from packs to packs.
2821
(John Arbash Meinel, #165290)
2823
* Fall back to showing e-mail in ``log --short/--line`` if the
2824
committer/author has only e-mail. (Lukáš Lalinský, #157026)
2828
* Deprecate not passing a ``location`` argument to commit reporters'
2829
``started`` methods. (Matt Nordhoff)
2832
bzr 1.0rc1 2007-11-30
2833
---------------------
2835
NOTES WHEN UPGRADING:
2837
* The default repository format is now ``pack-0.92``. This
2838
default is used when creating new repositories with ``init`` and
2839
``init-repo``, and when branching over bzr+ssh or bzr+hpss.
2840
(See https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/164626)
2842
This format can be read and written by Bazaar 0.92 and later, and
2843
data can be transferred to and from older formats.
2845
To upgrade, please reconcile your repository (``bzr reconcile``), and then
2846
upgrade (``bzr upgrade``).
2848
``pack-0.92`` offers substantially better scaling and performance than the
2849
previous knits format. Some operations are slower where the code already
2850
had bad scaling characteristics under knits, the pack format makes such
2851
operations more visible as part of being more scalable overall. We will
2852
correct such operations over the coming releases and encourage the filing
2853
of bugs on any operation which you observe to be slower in a packs
2854
repository. One particular case that we do not intend to fix is pulling
2855
data from a pack repository into a knit repository over a high latency
2856
link; downgrading such data requires reinsertion of the file texts, and
2857
this is a classic space/time tradeoff. The current implementation is
2858
conservative on memory usage because we need to support converting data
2859
from any tree without problems.
2860
(Robert Collins, Martin Pool, #164476)
2864
* Disable detection of plink.exe as possible ssh vendor. Plink vendor
2865
still available if user selects it explicitly with BZR_SSH environment
2866
variable. (Alexander Belchenko, workaround for bug #107593)
2868
* The pack format is now accessible as "pack-0.92", or "pack-0.92-subtree"
2869
to enable the subtree functions (for example, for bzr-svn).
2870
See http://doc.bazaar-vcs.org/latest/developer/packrepo.html
2875
* New ``authentication.conf`` file holding the password or other credentials
2876
for remote servers. This can be used for ssh, sftp, smtp and other
2877
supported transports.
2880
* New rich-root and rich-root-pack formats, recording the same data about
2881
tree roots that's recorded for all other directories.
2882
(Aaron Bentley, #164639)
2884
* ``pack-0.92`` repositories can now be reconciled.
2885
(Robert Collins, #154173)
2887
* ``switch`` command added for changing the branch a lightweight checkout
2888
is associated with and updating the tree to reflect the latest content
2889
accordingly. This command was previously part of the BzrTools plug-in.
2890
(Ian Clatworthy, Aaron Bentley, David Allouche)
2892
* ``reconfigure`` command can now convert branches, trees, or checkouts to
2893
lightweight checkouts. (Aaron Bentley)
2897
* Commit updates the state of the working tree via a delta rather than
2898
supplying entirely new basis trees. For commit of a single specified file
2899
this reduces the wall clock time for commit by roughly a 30%.
2900
(Robert Collins, Martin Pool)
2902
* Commit with many automatically found deleted paths no longer performs
2903
linear scanning for the children of those paths during inventory
2904
iteration. This should fix commit performance blowing out when many such
2905
paths occur during commit. (Robert Collins, #156491)
2907
* Fetch with pack repositories will no longer read the entire history graph.
2908
(Robert Collins, #88319)
2910
* Revert takes out an appropriate lock when reverting to a basis tree, and
2911
does not read the basis inventory twice. (Robert Collins)
2913
* Diff does not require an inventory to be generated on dirstate trees.
2914
(Aaron Bentley, #149254)
2916
* New annotate merge (--merge-type=weave) implementation is fast on
2917
versionedfiles withough cached annotations, e.g. pack-0.92.
2922
* ``bzr merge`` now warns when it encounters a criss-cross merge.
2925
* ``bzr send`` now doesn't require the target e-mail address to be
2926
specified on the command line if an interactive e-mail client is used.
2929
* ``bzr tags`` now prints the revision number for each tag, instead of
2930
the revision id, unless --show-ids is passed. In addition, tags can be
2931
sorted chronologically instead of lexicographically with --sort=time.
2932
(Adeodato Simó, #120231)
2934
* Windows standalone version of bzr is able to load system-wide plugins from
2935
"plugins" subdirectory in installation directory. In addition standalone
2936
installer write to the registry (HKLM\SOFTWARE\Bazaar) useful info
2937
about paths and bzr version. (Alexander Belchenko, #129298)
2943
* A progress bar has been added for knitpack -> knitpack fetching.
2944
(Robert Collins, #157789, #159147)
2946
* Branching from a branch via smart server now preserves the repository
2947
format. (Andrew Bennetts, #164626)
2949
* ``commit`` is now able to invoke an external editor in a non-ascii
2950
directory. (Daniel Watkins, #84043)
2952
* Catch connection errors for ftp.
2953
(Vincent Ladeuil, #164567)
2955
* ``check`` no longer reports spurious unreferenced text versions.
2956
(Robert Collins, John A Meinel, #162931, #165071)
2958
* Conflicts are now resolved recursively by ``revert``.
2959
(Aaron Bentley, #102739)
2961
* Detect invalid transport reuse attempts by catching invalid URLs.
2962
(Vincent Ladeuil, #161819)
2964
* Deleting a file without removing it shows a correct diff, not a traceback.
2967
* Do no use timeout in HttpServer anymore.
2968
(Vincent Ladeuil, #158972).
2970
* Don't catch the exceptions related to the http pipeline status before
2971
retrying an http request or some programming errors may be masked.
2972
(Vincent Ladeuil, #160012)
2974
* Fix ``bzr rm`` to not delete modified and ignored files.
2975
(Lukáš Lalinský, #172598)
2977
* Fix exception when revisionspec contains merge revisons but log
2978
formatter doesn't support merge revisions. (Kent Gibson, #148908)
2980
* Fix exception when ScopeReplacer is assigned to before any members have
2981
been retrieved. (Aaron Bentley)
2983
* Fix multiple connections during checkout --lightweight.
2984
(Vincent Ladeuil, #159150)
2986
* Fix possible error in insert_data_stream when copying between
2987
pack repositories over bzr+ssh or bzr+http.
2988
KnitVersionedFile.get_data_stream now makes sure that requested
2989
compression parents are sent before any delta hunks that depend
2991
(Martin Pool, #164637)
2993
* Fix typo in limiting offsets coalescing for http, leading to
2994
whole files being downloaded instead of parts.
2995
(Vincent Ladeuil, #165061)
2997
* FTP server errors don't error in the error handling code.
2998
(Robert Collins, #161240)
3000
* Give a clearer message when a pull fails because the source needs
3002
(Martin Pool, #164443)
3004
* It is clearer when a plugin cannot be loaded because of its name, and a
3005
suggestion for an acceptable name is given. (Daniel Watkins, #103023)
3007
* Leave port as None in transport objects if user doesn't
3008
specify a port in urls.
3009
(vincent Ladeuil, #150860)
3011
* Make sure Repository.fetch(self) is properly a no-op for all
3012
Repository implementations. (John Arbash Meinel, #158333)
3014
* Mark .bzr directories as "hidden" on Windows.
3015
(Alexander Belchenko, #71147)
3017
* ``merge --uncommitted`` can now operate on a single file.
3018
(Aaron Bentley, Lukáš Lalinský, #136890)
3020
* Obsolete packs are now cleaned up by pack and autopack operations.
3021
(Robert Collins, #153789)
3023
* Operations pulling data from a smart server where the underlying
3024
repositories are not both annotated/both unannotated will now work.
3025
(Robert Collins, #165304).
3027
* Reconcile now shows progress bars. (Robert Collins, #159351)
3029
* ``RemoteBranch`` was not initializing ``self._revision_id_to_revno_map``
3030
properly. (John Arbash Meinel, #162486)
3032
* Removing an already-removed file reports the file does not exist. (Daniel
3035
* Rename on Windows is able to change filename case.
3036
(Alexander Belchenko, #77740)
3038
* Return error instead of a traceback for ``bzr log -r0``.
3039
(Kent Gibson, #133751)
3041
* Return error instead of a traceback when bzr is unable to create
3042
symlink on some platforms (e.g. on Windows).
3043
(Alexander Belchenko, workaround for #81689)
3045
* Revert doesn't crash when restoring a single file from a deleted
3046
directory. (Aaron Bentley)
3048
* Stderr output via logging mechanism now goes through encoded wrapper
3049
and no more uses utf-8, but terminal encoding instead. So all unicode
3050
strings now should be readable in non-utf-8 terminal.
3051
(Alexander Belchenko, #54173)
3053
* The error message when ``move --after`` should be used makes how to do so
3054
clearer. (Daniel Watkins, #85237)
3056
* Unicode-safe output from ``bzr info``. The output will be encoded
3057
using the terminal encoding and unrepresentable characters will be
3058
replaced by '?'. (Lukáš Lalinský, #151844)
3060
* Working trees are no longer created when pushing into a local no-trees
3061
repo. (Daniel Watkins, #50582)
3063
* Upgrade util/configobj to version 4.4.0.
3064
(Vincent Ladeuil, #151208).
3066
* Wrap medusa ftp test server as an FTPServer feature.
3067
(Vincent Ladeuil, #157752)
3071
* ``osutils.backup_file`` is deprecated. Actually it's not used in bzrlib
3072
during very long time. (Alexander Belchenko)
3074
* The return value of
3075
``VersionedFile.iter_lines_added_or_present_in_versions`` has been
3076
changed. Previously it was an iterator of lines, now it is an iterator of
3077
(line, version_id) tuples. This change has been made to aid reconcile and
3078
fetch operations. (Robert Collins)
3080
* ``bzrlib.repository.get_versioned_file_checker`` is now private.
3083
* The Repository format registry default has been removed; it was previously
3084
obsoleted by the bzrdir format default, which implies a default repository
3090
* Added ``ContainerSerialiser`` and ``ContainerPushParser`` to
3091
``bzrlib.pack``. These classes provide more convenient APIs for generating
3092
and parsing containers from streams rather than from files. (Andrew
3095
* New module ``lru_cache`` providing a cache for use by tasks that need
3096
semi-random access to large amounts of data. (John A Meinel)
3098
* InventoryEntry.diff is now deprecated. Please use diff.DiffTree instead.
3108
* New uninstaller on Win32. (Alexander Belchenko)
3111
bzr 0.92rc1 2007-10-29
3112
----------------------
3114
NOTES WHEN UPGRADING:
3118
* ``bzr`` now returns exit code 4 if an internal error occurred, and
3119
3 if a normal error occurred. (Martin Pool)
3121
* ``pull``, ``merge`` and ``push`` will no longer silently correct some
3122
repository index errors that occured as a result of the Weave disk format.
3123
Instead the ``reconcile`` command needs to be run to correct those
3124
problems if they exist (and it has been able to fix most such problems
3125
since bzr 0.8). Some new problems have been identified during this release
3126
and you should run ``bzr check`` once on every repository to see if you
3127
need to reconcile. If you cannot ``pull`` or ``merge`` from a remote
3128
repository due to mismatched parent errors - a symptom of index errors -
3129
you should simply take a full copy of that remote repository to a clean
3130
directory outside any local repositories, then run reconcile on it, and
3131
finally pull from it locally. (And naturally email the repositories owner
3132
to ask them to upgrade and run reconcile).
3137
* New ``knitpack-experimental`` repository format. This is interoperable with
3138
the ``dirstate-tags`` format but uses a smarter storage design that greatly
3139
speeds up many operations, both local and remote. This new format can be
3140
used as an option to the ``init``, ``init-repository`` and ``upgrade``
3141
commands. See http://doc.bazaar-vcs.org/0.92/developers/knitpack.html
3142
for further details. (Robert Collins)
3144
* For users of bzr-svn (and those testing the prototype subtree support) that
3145
wish to try packs, a new ``knitpack-subtree-experimental`` format has also
3146
been added. This is interoperable with the ``dirstate-subtrees`` format.
3149
* New ``reconfigure`` command. (Aaron Bentley)
3151
* New ``revert --forget-merges`` command, which removes the record of a pending
3152
merge without affecting the working tree contents. (Martin Pool)
3154
* New ``bzr_remote_path`` configuration variable allows finer control of
3155
remote bzr locations than BZR_REMOTE_PATH environment variable.
3158
* New ``launchpad-login`` command to tell Bazaar your Launchpad
3159
user ID. This can then be used by other functions of the
3160
Launchpad plugin. (James Henstridge)
3164
* Commit in quiet mode is now slightly faster as the information to
3165
output is no longer calculated. (Ian Clatworthy)
3167
* Commit no longer checks for new text keys during insertion when the
3168
revision id was deterministically unique. (Robert Collins)
3170
* Committing a change which is not a merge and does not change the number of
3171
files in the tree is faster by utilising the data about whether files are
3172
changed to determine if the tree is unchanged rather than recalculating
3173
it at the end of the commit process. (Robert Collins)
3175
* Inventory serialisation no longer double-sha's the content.
3178
* Knit text reconstruction now avoids making copies of the lines list for
3179
interim texts when building a single text. The new ``apply_delta`` method
3180
on ``KnitContent`` aids this by allowing modification of the revision id
3181
such objects represent. (Robert Collins)
3183
* Pack indices are now partially parsed for specific key lookup using a
3184
bisection approach. (Robert Collins)
3186
* Partial commits are now approximately 40% faster by walking over the
3187
unselected current tree more efficiently. (Robert Collins)
3189
* XML inventory serialisation takes 20% less time while being stricter about
3190
the contents. (Robert Collins)
3192
* Graph ``heads()`` queries have been fixed to no longer access all history
3193
unnecessarily. (Robert Collins)
3197
* ``bzr+https://`` smart server across https now supported.
3198
(John Ferlito, Martin Pool, #128456)
3200
* Mutt is now a supported mail client; set ``mail_client=mutt`` in your
3201
bazaar.conf and ``send`` will use mutt. (Keir Mierle)
3203
* New option ``-c``/``--change`` for ``merge`` command for cherrypicking
3204
changes from one revision. (Alexander Belchenko, #141368)
3206
* Show encodings, locale and list of plugins in the traceback message.
3207
(Martin Pool, #63894)
3209
* Experimental directory formats can now be marked with
3210
``experimental = True`` during registration. (Ian Clatworthy)
3214
* New *Bazaar in Five Minutes* guide. (Matthew Revell)
3216
* The hooks reference documentation is now converted to html as expected.
3221
* Connection error reporting for the smart server has been fixed to
3222
display a user friendly message instead of a traceback.
3223
(Ian Clatworthy, #115601)
3225
* Make sure to use ``O_BINARY`` when opening files to check their
3226
sha1sum. (Alexander Belchenko, John Arbash Meinel, #153493)
3228
* Fix a problem with Win32 handling of the executable bit.
3229
(John Arbash Meinel, #149113)
3231
* ``bzr+ssh://`` and ``sftp://`` URLs that do not specify ports explicitly
3232
no longer assume that means port 22. This allows people using OpenSSH to
3233
override the default port in their ``~/.ssh/config`` if they wish. This
3234
fixes a bug introduced in bzr 0.91. (Andrew Bennetts, #146715)
3236
* Commands reporting exceptions can now be profiled and still have their
3237
data correctly dumped to a file. For example, a ``bzr commit`` with
3238
no changes still reports the operation as pointless but doing so no
3239
longer throws away the profiling data if this command is run with
3240
``--lsprof-file callgrind.out.ci`` say. (Ian Clatworthy)
3242
* Fallback to ftp when paramiko is not installed and sftp can't be used for
3243
``tests/commands`` so that the test suite is still usable without
3245
(Vincent Ladeuil, #59150)
3247
* Fix commit ordering in corner case. (Aaron Bentley, #94975)
3249
* Fix long standing bug in partial commit when there are renames
3250
left in tree. (Robert Collins, #140419)
3252
* Fix selftest semi-random noise during http related tests.
3253
(Vincent Ladeuil, #140614)
3255
* Fix typo in ftp.py making the reconnection fail on temporary errors.
3256
(Vincent Ladeuil, #154259)
3258
* Fix failing test by comparing real paths to cover the case where the TMPDIR
3259
contains a symbolic link.
3260
(Vincent Ladeuil, #141382).
3262
* Fix log against smart server branches that don't support tags.
3263
(James Westby, #140615)
3265
* Fix pycurl http implementation by defining error codes from
3266
pycurl instead of relying on an old curl definition.
3267
(Vincent Ladeuil, #147530)
3269
* Fix 'unprintable error' message when displaying BzrCheckError and
3270
some other exceptions on Python 2.5.
3271
(Martin Pool, #144633)
3273
* Fix ``Inventory.copy()`` and add test for it. (Jelmer Vernooij)
3275
* Handles default value for ListOption in cmd_commit.
3276
(Vincent Ladeuil, #140432)
3278
* HttpServer and FtpServer need to be closed properly or a listening socket
3280
(Vincent Ladeuil, #140055)
3282
* Monitor the .bzr directory created in the top level test
3283
directory to detect leaking tests.
3284
(Vincent Ladeuil, #147986)
3286
* The basename, not the full path, is now used when checking whether
3287
the profiling dump file begins with ``callgrind.out`` or not. This
3288
fixes a bug reported by Aaron Bentley on IRC. (Ian Clatworthy)
3290
* Trivial fix for invoking command ``reconfigure`` without arguments.
3293
* ``WorkingTree.rename_one`` will now raise an error if normalisation of the
3294
new path causes bzr to be unable to access the file. (Robert Collins)
3296
* Correctly detect a NoSuchFile when using a filezilla server. (Gary van der
3301
* ``bzrlib.index.GraphIndex`` now requires a size parameter to the
3302
constructor, for enabling bisection searches. (Robert Collins)
3304
* ``CommitBuilder.record_entry_contents`` now requires the root entry of a
3305
tree be supplied to it, previously failing to do so would trigger a
3306
deprecation warning. (Robert Collins)
3308
* ``KnitVersionedFile.add*`` will no longer cache added records even when
3309
enable_cache() has been called - the caching feature is now exclusively for
3310
reading existing data. (Robert Collins)
3312
* ``ReadOnlyLockError`` is deprecated; ``LockFailed`` is usually more
3313
appropriate. (Martin Pool)
3315
* Removed ``bzrlib.transport.TransportLogger`` - please see the new
3316
``trace+`` transport instead. (Robert Collins)
3318
* Removed previously deprecated varargs interface to ``TestCase.run_bzr`` and
3319
deprecated methods ``TestCase.capture`` and ``TestCase.run_bzr_captured``.
3322
* Removed previous deprecated ``basis_knit`` parameter to the
3323
``KnitVersionedFile`` constructor. (Robert Collins)
3325
* Special purpose method ``TestCase.run_bzr_decode`` is moved to the test_non_ascii
3326
class that needs it.
3329
* The class ``bzrlib.repofmt.knitrepo.KnitRepository3`` has been folded into
3330
``KnitRepository`` by parameters to the constructor. (Robert Collins)
3332
* The ``VersionedFile`` interface now allows content checks to be bypassed
3333
by supplying check_content=False. This saves nearly 30% of the minimum
3334
cost to store a version of a file. (Robert Collins)
3336
* Tree's with bad state such as files with no length or sha will no longer
3337
be silently accepted by the repository XML serialiser. To serialise
3338
inventories without such data, pass working=True to write_inventory.
3341
* ``VersionedFile.fix_parents`` has been removed as a harmful API.
3342
``VersionedFile.join`` will no longer accept different parents on either
3343
side of a join - it will either ignore them, or error, depending on the
3344
implementation. See notes when upgrading for more information.
3349
* ``bzrlib.transport.Transport.put_file`` now returns the number of bytes
3350
put by the method call, to allow avoiding stat-after-write or
3351
housekeeping in callers. (Robert Collins)
3353
* ``bzrlib.xml_serializer.Serializer`` is now responsible for checking that
3354
mandatory attributes are present on serialisation and deserialisation.
3355
This fixes some holes in API usage and allows better separation between
3356
physical storage and object serialisation. (Robert Collins)
3358
* New class ``bzrlib.errors.InternalBzrError`` which is just a convenient
3359
shorthand for deriving from BzrError and setting internal_error = True.
3362
* New method ``bzrlib.mutabletree.update_to_one_parent_via_delta`` for
3363
moving the state of a parent tree to a new version via a delta rather than
3364
a complete replacement tree. (Robert Collins)
3366
* New method ``bzrlib.osutils.minimum_path_selection`` useful for removing
3367
duplication from user input, when a user mentions both a path and an item
3368
contained within that path. (Robert Collins)
3370
* New method ``bzrlib.repository.Repository.is_write_locked`` useful for
3371
determining if a repository is write locked. (Robert Collins)
3373
* New method on ``bzrlib.tree.Tree`` ``path_content_summary`` provides a
3374
tuple containing the key information about a path for commit processing
3375
to complete. (Robert Collins)
3377
* New method on xml serialisers, write_inventory_to_lines, which matches the
3378
API used by knits for adding content. (Robert Collins)
3380
* New module ``bzrlib.bisect_multi`` with generic multiple-bisection-at-once
3381
logic, currently only available for byte-based lookup
3382
(``bisect_multi_bytes``). (Robert Collins)
3384
* New helper ``bzrlib.tuned_gzip.bytes_to_gzip`` which takes a byte string
3385
and returns a gzipped version of the same. This is used to avoid a bunch
3386
of api friction during adding of knit hunks. (Robert Collins)
3388
* New parameter on ``bzrlib.transport.Transport.readv``
3389
``adjust_for_latency`` which changes readv from returning strictly the
3390
requested data to inserted return larger ranges and in forward read order
3391
to reduce the effect of network latency. (Robert Collins)
3393
* New parameter yield_parents on ``Inventory.iter_entries_by_dir`` which
3394
causes the parents of a selected id to be returned recursively, so all the
3395
paths from the root down to each element of selected_file_ids are
3396
returned. (Robert Collins)
3398
* Knit joining has been enhanced to support plain to annotated conversion
3399
and annotated to plain conversion. (Ian Clatworthy)
3401
* The CommitBuilder method ``record_entry_contents`` now returns summary
3402
information about the effect of the commit on the repository. This tuple
3403
contains an inventory delta item if the entry changed from the basis, and a
3404
boolean indicating whether a new file graph node was recorded.
3407
* The python path used in the Makefile can now be overridden.
3408
(Andrew Bennetts, Ian Clatworthy)
3412
* New transport implementation ``trace+`` which is useful for testing,
3413
logging activity taken to its _activity attribute. (Robert Collins)
3415
* When running bzr commands within the test suite, internal exceptions are
3416
not caught and reported in the usual way, but rather allowed to propagate
3417
up and be visible to the test suite. A new API ``run_bzr_catch_user_errors``
3418
makes this behavior available to other users.
3421
* New method ``TestCase.call_catch_warnings`` for testing methods that
3422
raises a Python warning. (Martin Pool)
3430
* Print a warning instead of aborting the ``python setup.py install``
3431
process if building of a C extension is not possible.
3432
(Lukáš Lalinský, Alexander Belchenko)
3434
* Fix commit ordering in corner case (Aaron Bentley, #94975)
3436
* Fix ''bzr info bzr://host/'' and other operations on ''bzr://' URLs with
3437
an implicit port. We were incorrectly raising PathNotChild due to
3438
inconsistent treatment of the ''_port'' attribute on the Transport object.
3439
(Andrew Bennetts, #133965)
3441
* Make RemoteRepository.sprout cope gracefully with servers that don't
3442
support the ``Repository.tarball`` request.
3446
bzr 0.91rc2 2007-09-11
3447
----------------------
3449
* Replaced incorrect tarball for previous release; a debug statement was left
3450
in bzrlib/remote.py.
3453
bzr 0.91rc1 2007-09-11
3454
----------------------
3458
* The default branch and repository format has changed to
3459
``dirstate-tags``, so tag commands are active by default.
3460
This format is compatible with Bazaar 0.15 and later.
3461
This incidentally fixes bug #126141.
3464
* ``--quiet`` or ``-q`` is no longer a global option. If present, it
3465
must now appear after the command name. Scripts doing things like
3466
``bzr -q missing`` need to be rewritten as ``bzr missing -q``.
3471
* New option ``--author`` in ``bzr commit`` to specify the author of the
3472
change, if it's different from the committer. ``bzr log`` and
3473
``bzr annotate`` display the author instead of the committer.
3476
* In addition to global options and command specific options, a set of
3477
standard options are now supported. Standard options are legal for
3478
all commands. The initial set of standard options are:
3480
* ``--help`` or ``-h`` - display help message
3481
* ``--verbose`` or ``-v`` - display additional information
3482
* ``--quiet`` or ``-q`` - only output warnings and errors.
3484
Unlike global options, standard options can be used in aliases and
3485
may have command-specific help. (Ian Clatworthy)
3487
* Verbosity level processing has now been unified. If ``--verbose``
3488
or ``-v`` is specified on the command line multiple times, the
3489
verbosity level is made positive the first time then increased.
3490
If ``--quiet`` or ``-q`` is specified on the command line
3491
multiple times, the verbosity level is made negative the first
3492
time then decreased. To get the default verbosity level of zero,
3493
either specify none of the above , ``--no-verbose`` or ``--no-quiet``.
3494
Note that most commands currently ignore the magnitude of the
3495
verbosity level but do respect *quiet vs normal vs verbose* when
3496
generating output. (Ian Clatworthy)
3498
* ``Branch.hooks`` now supports ``pre_commit`` hook. The hook's signature
3499
is documented in BranchHooks constructor. (Nam T. Nguyen, #102747)
3501
* New ``Repository.stream_knit_data_for_revisions`` request added to the
3502
network protocol for greatly reduced roundtrips when retrieving a set of
3503
revisions. (Andrew Bennetts)
3507
* ``bzr plugins`` now lists the version number for each plugin in square
3508
brackets after the path. (Robert Collins, #125421)
3510
* Pushing, pulling and branching branches with subtree references was not
3511
copying the subtree weave, preventing the file graph from being accessed
3512
and causing errors in commits in clones. (Robert Collins)
3514
* Suppress warning "integer argument expected, got float" from Paramiko,
3515
which sometimes caused false test failures. (Martin Pool)
3517
* Fix bug in bundle 4 that could cause attempts to write data to wrong
3518
versionedfile. (Aaron Bentley)
3520
* Diffs generated using "diff -p" no longer break the patch parser.
3523
* get_transport treats an empty possible_transports list the same as a non-
3524
empty one. (Aaron Bentley)
3526
* patch verification for merge directives is reactivated, and works with
3527
CRLF and CR files. (Aaron Bentley)
3529
* Accept ..\ as a path in revision specifiers. This fixes for example
3530
"-r branch:..\other-branch" on Windows. (Lukáš Lalinský)
3532
* ``BZR_PLUGIN_PATH`` may now contain trailing slashes.
3533
(Blake Winton, #129299)
3535
* man page no longer lists hidden options (#131667, Aaron Bentley)
3537
* ``uncommit --help`` now explains the -r option adequately. (Daniel
3540
* Error messages are now better formatted with parameters (such as
3541
filenames) quoted when necessary. This avoids confusion when directory
3542
names ending in a '.' at the end of messages were confused with a
3543
full stop that may or not have been there. (Daniel Watkins, #129791)
3545
* Fix ``status FILE -r X..Y``. (Lukáš Lalinský)
3547
* If a particular command is an alias, ``help`` will show the alias
3548
instead of claiming there is no help for said alias. (Daniel Watkins,
3551
* TreeTransform-based operations, like pull, merge, revert, and branch,
3552
now roll back if they encounter an error. (Aaron Bentley, #67699)
3554
* ``bzr commit`` now exits cleanly if a character unsupported by the
3555
current encoding is used in the commit message. (Daniel Watkins,
3558
* bzr send uses default values for ranges when only half of an elipsis
3559
is specified ("-r..5" or "-r5.."). (#61685, Aaron Bentley)
3561
* Avoid trouble when Windows ssh calls itself 'plink' but no plink
3562
binary is present. (Martin Albisetti, #107155)
3564
* ``bzr remove`` should remove clean subtrees. Now it will remove (without
3565
needing ``--force``) subtrees that contain no files with text changes or
3566
modified files. With ``--force`` it removes the subtree regardless of
3567
text changes or unknown files. Directories with renames in or out (but
3568
not changed otherwise) will now be removed without needing ``--force``.
3569
Unknown ignored files will be deleted without needing ``--force``.
3570
(Marius Kruger, #111665)
3572
* When two plugins conflict, the source of both the losing and now the
3573
winning definition is shown. (Konstantin Mikhaylov, #5454)
3575
* When committing to a branch, the location being committed to is
3576
displayed. (Daniel Watkins, #52479)
3578
* ``bzr --version`` takes care about encoding of stdout, especially
3579
when output is redirected. (Alexander Belchenko, #131100)
3581
* Prompt for an ftp password if none is provided.
3582
(Vincent Ladeuil, #137044)
3584
* Reuse bound branch associated transport to avoid multiple
3586
(Vincent Ladeuil, #128076, #131396)
3588
* Overwrite conflicting tags by ``push`` and ``pull`` if the
3589
``--overwrite`` option is specified. (Lukáš Lalinský, #93947)
3591
* In checkouts, tags are copied into the master branch when created,
3592
changed or deleted, and are copied into the checkout when it is
3593
updated. (Martin Pool, #93856, #93860)
3595
* Print a warning instead of aborting the ``python setup.py install``
3596
process if building of a C extension is not possible.
3597
(Lukáš Lalinský, Alexander Belchenko)
3601
* Add the option "--show-diff" to the commit command in order to display
3602
the diff during the commit log creation. (Goffredo Baroncelli)
3604
* ``pull`` and ``merge`` are much faster at installing bundle format 4.
3607
* ``pull -v`` no longer includes deltas, making it much faster.
3610
* ``send`` now sends the directive as an attachment by default.
3611
(Aaron Bentley, Lukáš Lalinský, Alexander Belchenko)
3613
* Documentation updates (Martin Albisetti)
3615
* Help on debug flags is now included in ``help global-options``.
3616
(Daniel Watkins, #124853)
3618
* Parameters passed on the command line are checked to ensure they are
3619
supported by the encoding in use. (Daniel Watkins)
3621
* The compression used within the bzr repository has changed from zlib
3622
level 9 to the zlib default level. This improves commit performance with
3623
only a small increase in space used (and in some cases a reduction in
3624
space). (Robert Collins)
3626
* Initial commit no longer SHAs files twice and now reuses the path
3627
rather than looking it up again, making it faster.
3630
* New option ``-c``/``--change`` for ``diff`` and ``status`` to show
3631
changes in one revision. (Lukáš Lalinský)
3633
* If versioned files match a given ignore pattern, a warning is now
3634
given. (Daniel Watkins, #48623)
3636
* ``bzr status`` now has -S as a short name for --short and -V as a
3637
short name for --versioned. These have been added to assist users
3638
migrating from Subversion: ``bzr status -SV`` is now like
3639
``svn status -q``. (Daniel Watkins, #115990)
3641
* Added C implementation of ``PatienceSequenceMatcher``, which is about
3642
10x faster than the Python version. This speeds up commands that
3643
need file diffing, such as ``bzr commit`` or ``bzr diff``.
3646
* HACKING has been extended with a large section on core developer tasks.
3649
* Add ``branches`` and ``standalone-trees`` as online help topics and
3650
include them as Concepts within the User Reference.
3651
(Paul Moore, Ian Clatworthy)
3653
* ``check`` can detect versionedfile parent references that are
3654
inconsistent with revision and inventory info, and ``reconcile`` can fix
3655
them. These faulty references were generated by 0.8-era releases,
3656
so repositories which were manipulated by old bzrs should be
3657
checked, and possibly reconciled ASAP. (Aaron Bentley, Andrew Bennetts)
3661
* ``Branch.append_revision`` is removed altogether; please use
3662
``Branch.set_last_revision_info`` instead. (Martin Pool)
3664
* CommitBuilder now advertises itself as requiring the root entry to be
3665
supplied. This only affects foreign repository implementations which reuse
3666
CommitBuilder directly and have changed record_entry_contents to require
3667
that the root not be supplied. This should be precisely zero plugins
3668
affected. (Robert Collins)
3670
* The ``add_lines`` methods on ``VersionedFile`` implementations has changed
3671
its return value to include the sha1 and length of the inserted text. This
3672
allows the avoidance of double-sha1 calculations during commit.
3675
* ``Transport.should_cache`` has been removed. It was not called in the
3676
previous release. (Martin Pool)
3680
* Tests may now raise TestNotApplicable to indicate they shouldn't be
3681
run in a particular scenario. (Martin Pool)
3683
* New function multiply_tests_from_modules to give a simpler interface
3684
to test parameterization. (Martin Pool, Robert Collins)
3686
* ``Transport.should_cache`` has been removed. It was not called in the
3687
previous release. (Martin Pool)
3689
* NULL_REVISION is returned to indicate the null revision, not None.
3692
* Use UTF-8 encoded StringIO for log tests to avoid failures on
3693
non-ASCII committer names. (Lukáš Lalinský)
3697
* ``bzrlib.plugin.all_plugins`` has been deprecated in favour of
3698
``bzrlib.plugin.plugins()`` which returns PlugIn objects that provide
3699
useful functionality for determining the path of a plugin, its tests, and
3700
its version information. (Robert Collins)
3702
* Add the option user_encoding to the function 'show_diff_trees()'
3703
in order to move the user encoding at the UI level. (Goffredo Baroncelli)
3705
* Add the function make_commit_message_template_encoded() and the function
3706
edit_commit_message_encoded() which handle encoded strings.
3707
This is done in order to mix the commit messages (which is a unicode
3708
string), and the diff which is a raw string. (Goffredo Baroncelli)
3710
* CommitBuilder now defaults to using add_lines_with_ghosts, reducing
3711
overhead on non-weave repositories which don't require all parents to be
3712
present. (Robert Collins)
3714
* Deprecated method ``find_previous_heads`` on
3715
``bzrlib.inventory.InventoryEntry``. This has been superseded by the use
3716
of ``parent_candidates`` and a separate heads check via the repository
3717
API. (Robert Collins)
3719
* New trace function ``mutter_callsite`` will print out a subset of the
3720
stack to the log, which can be useful for gathering debug details.
3723
* ``bzrlib.pack.ContainerWriter`` now tracks how many records have been
3724
added via a public attribute records_written. (Robert Collins)
3726
* New method ``bzrlib.transport.Transport.get_recommended_page_size``.
3727
This provides a hint to users of transports as to the reasonable
3728
minimum data to read. In principle this can take latency and
3729
bandwidth into account on a per-connection basis, but for now it
3730
just has hard coded values based on the url. (e.g. http:// has a large
3731
page size, file:// has a small one.) (Robert Collins)
3733
* New method on ``bzrlib.transport.Transport`` ``open_write_stream`` allows
3734
incremental addition of data to a file without requiring that all the
3735
data be buffered in memory. (Robert Collins)
3737
* New methods on ``bzrlib.knit.KnitVersionedFile``:
3738
``get_data_stream(versions)``, ``insert_data_stream(stream)`` and
3739
``get_format_signature()``. These provide some infrastructure for
3740
efficiently streaming the knit data for a set of versions over the smart
3743
* Knits with no annotation cache still produce correct annotations.
3746
* Three new methods have been added to ``bzrlib.trace``:
3747
``set_verbosity_level``, ``get_verbosity_level`` and ``is_verbose``.
3748
``set_verbosity_level`` expects a numeric value: negative for quiet,
3749
zero for normal, positive for verbose. The size of the number can be
3750
used to determine just how quiet or verbose the application should be.
3751
The existing ``be_quiet`` and ``is_quiet`` routines have been
3752
integrated into this new scheme. (Ian Clatworthy)
3754
* Options can now be delcared with a ``custom_callback`` parameter. If
3755
set, this routine is called after the option is processed. This feature
3756
is now used by the standard options ``verbose`` and ``quiet`` so that
3757
setting one implicitly resets the other. (Ian Clatworthy)
3759
* Rather than declaring a new option from scratch in order to provide
3760
custom help, a centrally registered option can be decorated using the
3761
new ``bzrlib.Option.custom_help`` routine. In particular, this routine
3762
is useful when declaring better help for the ``verbose`` and ``quiet``
3763
standard options as the base definition of these is now more complex
3764
than before thanks to their use of a custom callback. (Ian Clatworthy)
3766
* Tree._iter_changes(specific_file=[]) now iterates through no files,
3767
instead of iterating through all files. None is used to iterate through
3768
all files. (Aaron Bentley)
3770
* WorkingTree.revert() now accepts None to revert all files. The use of
3771
[] to revert all files is deprecated. (Aaron Bentley)
3779
* Documentation is now organized into multiple directories with a level
3780
added for different languages or locales. Added the Mini Tutorial
3781
and Quick Start Summary (en) documents from the Wiki, improving the
3782
content and readability of the former. Formatted NEWS as Release Notes
3783
complete with a Table of Conents, one heading per release. Moved the
3784
Developer Guide into the main document catalog and provided a link
3785
from the developer document catalog back to the main one.
3786
(Ian Clatworthy, Sabin Iacob, Alexander Belchenko)
3791
* The static convenience method ``BzrDir.create_repository``
3792
is deprecated. Callers should instead create a ``BzrDir`` instance
3793
and call ``create_repository`` on that. (Martin Pool)
3796
bzr 0.90rc1 2007-08-14
3797
----------------------
3801
* ``bzr init`` should connect to the remote location one time only. We
3802
have been connecting several times because we forget to pass around the
3803
Transport object. This modifies ``BzrDir.create_branch_convenience``,
3804
so that we can give it the Transport we already have.
3805
(John Arbash Meinel, Vincent Ladeuil, #111702)
3807
* Get rid of sftp connection cache (get rid of the FTP one too).
3808
(Vincent Ladeuil, #43731)
3810
* bzr branch {local|remote} remote don't try to create a working tree
3812
(Vincent Ladeuil, #112173)
3814
* All identified multiple connections for a single bzr command have been
3815
fixed. See bzrlib/tests/commands directory.
3818
* ``bzr rm`` now does not insist on ``--force`` to delete files that
3819
have been renamed but not otherwise modified. (Marius Kruger,
3822
* ``bzr selftest --bench`` no longer emits deprecation warnings
3825
* ``bzr status`` now honours FILE parameters for conflict lists
3826
(Aaron Bentley, #127606)
3828
* ``bzr checkout`` now honours -r when reconstituting a working tree.
3829
It also honours -r 0. (Aaron Bentley, #127708)
3831
* ``bzr add *`` no more fails on Windows if working tree contains
3832
non-ascii file names. (Kuno Meyer, #127361)
3834
* allow ``easy_install bzr`` runs without fatal errors.
3835
(Alexander Belchenko, #125521)
3837
* Graph._filter_candidate_lca does not raise KeyError if a candidate
3838
is eliminated just before it would normally be examined. (Aaron Bentley)
3840
* SMTP connection failures produce a nice message, not a traceback.
3845
* Don't show "dots" progress indicators when run non-interactively, such
3846
as from cron. (Martin Pool)
3848
* ``info`` now formats locations more nicely and lists "submit" and
3849
"public" branches (Aaron Bentley)
3851
* New ``pack`` command that will trigger database compression within
3852
the repository (Robert Collins)
3854
* Implement ``_KnitIndex._load_data`` in a pyrex extension. The pyrex
3855
version is approximately 2-3x faster at parsing a ``.kndx`` file.
3856
Which yields a measurable improvement for commands which have to
3857
read from the repository, such as a 1s => 0.75s improvement in
3858
``bzr diff`` when there are changes to be shown. (John Arbash Meinel)
3860
* Merge is now faster. Depending on the scenario, it can be more than 2x
3861
faster. (Aaron Bentley)
3863
* Give a clearer warning, and allow ``python setup.py install`` to
3864
succeed even if pyrex is not available.
3865
(John Arbash Meinel)
3867
* ``DirState._read_dirblocks`` now has an optional Pyrex
3868
implementation. This improves the speed of any command that has to
3869
read the entire DirState. (``diff``, ``status``, etc, improve by
3871
``bisect_dirblocks`` has also been improved, which helps all
3872
``_get_entry`` type calls (whenever we are searching for a
3873
particular entry in the in-memory DirState).
3874
(John Arbash Meinel)
3876
* ``bzr pull`` and ``bzr push`` no longer do a complete walk of the
3877
branch revision history for ui display unless -v is supplied.
3880
* ``bzr log -rA..B`` output shifted to the left margin if the log only
3881
contains merge revisions. (Kent Gibson)
3883
* The ``plugins`` command is now public with improved help.
3886
* New bundle and merge directive formats are faster to generate, and
3888
* Annotate merge now works when there are local changes. (Aaron Bentley)
3890
* Commit now only shows the progress in terms of directories instead of
3891
entries. (Ian Clatworthy)
3893
* Fix ``KnitRepository.get_revision_graph`` to not request the graph 2
3894
times. This makes ``get_revision_graph`` 2x faster. (John Arbash
3897
* Fix ``VersionedFile.get_graph()`` to avoid using
3898
``set.difference_update(other)``, which has bad scaling when
3899
``other`` is large. This improves ``VF.get_graph([version_id])`` for
3900
a 12.5k graph from 2.9s down to 200ms. (John Arbash Meinel)
3902
* The ``--lsprof-file`` option now generates output for KCacheGrind if
3903
the file starts with ``callgrind.out``. This matches the default file
3904
filtering done by KCacheGrind's Open Dialog. (Ian Clatworthy)
3906
* Fix ``bzr update`` to avoid an unnecessary
3907
``branch.get_master_branch`` call, which avoids 1 extra connection
3908
to the remote server. (Partial fix for #128076, John Arbash Meinel)
3910
* Log errors from the smart server in the trace file, to make debugging
3911
test failures (and live failures!) easier. (Andrew Bennetts)
3913
* The HTML version of the man page has been superceded by a more
3914
comprehensive manual called the Bazaar User Reference. This manual
3915
is completed generated from the online help topics. As part of this
3916
change, limited reStructuredText is now explicitly supported in help
3917
topics and command help with 'unnatural' markup being removed prior
3918
to display by the online help or inclusion in the man page.
3921
* HTML documentation now use files extension ``*.html``
3922
(Alexander Belchenko)
3924
* The cache of ignore definitions is now cleared in WorkingTree.unlock()
3925
so that changes to .bzrignore aren't missed. (#129694, Daniel Watkins)
3927
* ``bzr selftest --strict`` fails if there are any missing features or
3928
expected test failures. (Daniel Watkins, #111914)
3930
* Link to registration survey added to README. (Ian Clatworthy)
3932
* Windows standalone installer show link to registration survey
3933
when installation finished. (Alexander Belchenko)
3937
* Deprecated dictionary ``bzrlib.option.SHORT_OPTIONS`` removed.
3938
Options are now required to provide a help string and it must
3939
comply with the style guide by being one or more sentences with an
3940
initial capital and final period. (Martin Pool)
3942
* KnitIndex.get_parents now returns tuples. (Robert Collins)
3944
* Ancient unused ``Repository.text_store`` attribute has been removed.
3947
* The ``bzrlib.pack`` interface has changed to use tuples of bytestrings
3948
rather than just bytestrings, making it easier to represent multiple
3949
element names. As this interface was not used by any internal facilities
3950
since it was introduced in 0.18 no API compatibility is being preserved.
3951
The serialised form of these packs is identical with 0.18 when a single
3952
element tuple is in use. (Robert Collins)
3956
* merge now uses ``iter_changes`` to calculate changes, which makes room for
3957
future performance increases. It is also more consistent with other
3958
operations that perform comparisons, and reduces reliance on
3959
Tree.inventory. (Aaron Bentley)
3961
* Refactoring of transport classes connected to a remote server.
3962
ConnectedTransport is a new class that serves as a basis for all
3963
transports needing to connect to a remote server. transport.split_url
3964
have been deprecated, use the static method on the object instead. URL
3965
tests have been refactored too.
3968
* Better connection sharing for ConnectedTransport objects.
3969
transport.get_transport() now accepts a 'possible_transports' parameter.
3970
If a newly requested transport can share a connection with one of the
3974
* Most functions now accept ``bzrlib.revision.NULL_REVISION`` to indicate
3975
the null revision, and consider using ``None`` for this purpose
3976
deprecated. (Aaron Bentley)
3978
* New ``index`` module with abstract index functionality. This will be
3979
used during the planned changes in the repository layer. Currently the
3980
index layer provides a graph aware immutable index, a builder for the
3981
same index type to allow creating them, and finally a composer for
3982
such indices to allow the use of many indices in a single query. The
3983
index performance is not optimised, however the API is stable to allow
3984
development on top of the index. (Robert Collins)
3986
* ``bzrlib.dirstate.cmp_by_dirs`` can be used to compare two paths by
3987
their directory sections. This is equivalent to comparing
3988
``path.split('/')``, only without having to split the paths.
3989
This has a Pyrex implementation available.
3990
(John Arbash Meinel)
3992
* New transport decorator 'unlistable+' which disables the list_dir
3993
functionality for testing.
3995
* Deprecated ``change_entry`` in transform.py. (Ian Clatworthy)
3997
* RevisionTree.get_weave is now deprecated. Tree.plan_merge is now used
3998
for performing annotate-merge. (Aaron Bentley)
4000
* New EmailMessage class to create email messages. (Adeodato Simó)
4002
* Unused functions on the private interface KnitIndex have been removed.
4005
* New ``knit.KnitGraphIndex`` which provides a ``KnitIndex`` layered on top
4006
of a ``index.GraphIndex``. (Robert Collins)
4008
* New ``knit.KnitVersionedFile.iter_parents`` method that allows querying
4009
the parents of many knit nodes at once, reducing round trips to the
4010
underlying index. (Robert Collins)
4012
* Graph now has an is_ancestor method, various bits use it.
4015
* The ``-Dhpss`` flag now includes timing information. As well as
4016
logging when a new connection is opened. (John Arbash Meinel)
4018
* ``bzrlib.pack.ContainerWriter`` now returns an offset, length tuple to
4019
callers when inserting data, allowing generation of readv style access
4020
during pack creation, without needing a separate pass across the output
4021
pack to gather such details. (Robert Collins)
4023
* ``bzrlib.pack.make_readv_reader`` allows readv based access to pack
4024
files that are stored on a transport. (Robert Collins)
4026
* New ``Repository.has_same_location`` method that reports if two
4027
repository objects refer to the same repository (although with some risk
4028
of false negatives). (Andrew Bennetts)
4030
* InterTree.compare now passes require_versioned on correctly.
4033
* New methods on Repository - ``start_write_group``,
4034
``commit_write_group``, ``abort_write_group`` and ``is_in_write_group`` -
4035
which provide a clean hook point for transactional Repositories - ones
4036
where all the data for a fetch or commit needs to be made atomically
4037
available in one step. This allows the write lock to remain while making
4038
a series of data insertions. (e.g. data conversion). (Robert Collins)
4040
* In ``bzrlib.knit`` the internal interface has been altered to use
4041
3-tuples (index, pos, length) rather than two-tuples (pos, length) to
4042
describe where data in a knit is, allowing knits to be split into
4043
many files. (Robert Collins)
4045
* ``bzrlib.knit._KnitData`` split into cache management and physical access
4046
with two access classes - ``_PackAccess`` and ``_KnitAccess`` defined.
4047
The former provides access into a .pack file, and the latter provides the
4048
current production repository form of .knit files. (Robert Collins)
4052
* Remove selftest ``--clean-output``, ``--numbered-dirs`` and
4053
``--keep-output`` options, which are obsolete now that tests
4054
are done within directories in $TMPDIR. (Martin Pool)
4056
* The SSH_AUTH_SOCK environment variable is now reset to avoid
4057
interaction with any running ssh agents. (Jelmer Vernooij, #125955)
4059
* run_bzr_subprocess handles parameters the same way as run_bzr:
4060
either a string or a list of strings should be passed as the first
4061
parameter. Varargs-style parameters are deprecated. (Aaron Bentley)
4065
--------------------
4069
* Fix 'bzr add' crash under Win32 (Kuno Meyer)
4072
bzr 0.18rc1 2007-07-10
4073
-----------------------
4077
* Do not suppress pipe errors, etc. in non-display commands
4078
(Alexander Belchenko, #87178)
4080
* Display a useful error message when the user requests to annotate
4081
a file that is not present in the specified revision.
4082
(James Westby, #122656)
4084
* Commands that use status flags now have a reference to 'help
4085
status-flags'. (Daniel Watkins, #113436)
4087
* Work around python-2.4.1 inhability to correctly parse the
4088
authentication header.
4089
(Vincent Ladeuil, #121889)
4091
* Use exact encoding for merge directives. (Adeodato Simó, #120591)
4093
* Fix tempfile permissions error in smart server tar bundling under
4094
Windows. (Martin _, #119330)
4096
* Fix detection of directory entries in the inventory. (James Westby)
4098
* Fix handling of http code 400: Bad Request When issuing too many ranges.
4099
(Vincent Ladeuil, #115209)
4101
* Issue a CONNECT request when connecting to an https server
4102
via a proxy to enable SSL tunneling.
4103
(Vincent Ladeuil, #120678)
4105
* Fix ``bzr log -r`` to support selecting merge revisions, both
4106
individually and as part of revision ranges.
4107
(Kent Gibson, #4663)
4109
* Don't leave cruft behind when failing to acquire a lockdir.
4110
(Martin Pool, #109169)
4112
* Don't use the '-f' strace option during tests.
4113
(Vincent Ladeuil, #102019).
4115
* Warn when setting ``push_location`` to a value that will be masked by
4116
locations.conf. (Aaron Bentley, #122286)
4118
* Fix commit ordering in corner case (Aaron Bentley, #94975)
4120
* Make annotate behave in a non-ASCII world (Adeodato Simó).
4124
* The --lsprof-file option now dumps a text rendering of the profiling
4125
information if the filename ends in ".txt". It will also convert the
4126
profiling information to a format suitable for KCacheGrind if the
4127
output filename ends in ".callgrind". Fixes to the lsprofcalltree
4128
conversion process by Jean Paul Calderone and Itamar were also merged.
4129
See http://ddaa.net/blog/python/lsprof-calltree. (Ian Clatworthy)
4131
* ``info`` now defaults to non-verbose mode, displaying only paths and
4132
abbreviated format info. ``info -v`` displays all the information
4133
formerly displayed by ``info``. (Aaron Bentley, Adeodato Simó)
4135
* ``bzr missing`` now has better option names ``--this`` and ``--other``.
4138
* The internal ``weave-list`` command has become ``versionedfile-list``,
4139
and now lists knits as well as weaves. (Aaron Bentley)
4141
* Automatic merge base selection uses a faster algorithm that chooses
4142
better bases in criss-cross merge situations (Aaron Bentley)
4144
* Progress reporting in ``commit`` has been improved. The various logical
4145
stages are now reported on as follows, namely:
4147
* Collecting changes [Entry x/y] - Stage n/m
4148
* Saving data locally - Stage n/m
4149
* Uploading data to master branch - Stage n/m
4150
* Updating the working tree - Stage n/m
4151
* Running post commit hooks - Stage n/m
4153
If there is no master branch, the 3rd stage is omitted and the total
4154
number of stages is adjusted accordingly.
4156
Each hook that is run after commit is listed with a name (as hooks
4157
can be slow it is useful feedback).
4158
(Ian Clatworthy, Robert Collins)
4160
* Various operations that are now faster due to avoiding unnecessary
4161
topological sorts. (Aaron Bentley)
4163
* Make merge directives robust against broken bundles. (Aaron Bentley)
4165
* The lsprof filename note is emitted via trace.note(), not standard
4166
output. (Aaron Bentley)
4168
* ``bzrlib`` now exports explicit API compatibility information to assist
4169
library users and plugins. See the ``bzrlib.api`` module for details.
4172
* Remove unnecessary lock probes when acquiring a lockdir.
4175
* ``bzr --version`` now shows the location of the bzr log file, which
4176
is especially useful on Windows. (Martin Pool)
4178
* -D now supports hooks to get debug tracing of hooks (though its currently
4179
minimal in nature). (Robert Collins)
4181
* Long log format reports deltas on merge revisions.
4182
(John Arbash Meinel, Kent Gibson)
4184
* Make initial push over ftp more resilient. (John Arbash Meinel)
4186
* Print a summary of changes for update just like pull does.
4187
(Daniel Watkins, #113990)
4189
* Add a -Dhpss option to trace smart protocol requests and responses.
4194
* Testing cleanups -
4195
``bzrlib.repository.RepositoryTestProviderAdapter`` has been moved
4196
to ``bzrlib.tests.repository_implementations``;
4197
``bzrlib.repository.InterRepositoryTestProviderAdapter`` has been moved
4198
to ``bzrlib.tests.interrepository_implementations``;
4199
``bzrlib.transport.TransportTestProviderAdapter`` has moved to
4200
``bzrlib.tests.test_transport_implementations``.
4201
``bzrlib.branch.BranchTestProviderAdapter`` has moved to
4202
``bzrlib.tests.branch_implementations``.
4203
``bzrlib.bzrdir.BzrDirTestProviderAdapter`` has moved to
4204
``bzrlib.tests.bzrdir_implementations``.
4205
``bzrlib.versionedfile.InterVersionedFileTestProviderAdapter`` has moved
4206
to ``bzrlib.tests.interversionedfile_implementations``.
4207
``bzrlib.store.revision.RevisionStoreTestProviderAdapter`` has moved to
4208
``bzrlib.tests.revisionstore_implementations``.
4209
``bzrlib.workingtree.WorkingTreeTestProviderAdapter`` has moved to
4210
``bzrlib.tests.workingtree_implementations``.
4211
These changes are an API break in the testing infrastructure only.
4214
* Relocate TestCaseWithRepository to be more central. (Robert Collins)
4216
* ``bzrlib.add.smart_add_tree`` will no longer perform glob expansion on
4217
win32. Callers of the function should do this and use the new
4218
``MutableTree.smart_add`` method instead. (Robert Collins)
4220
* ``bzrlib.add.glob_expand_for_win32`` is now
4221
``bzrlib.win32utils.glob_expand``. (Robert Collins)
4223
* ``bzrlib.add.FastPath`` is now private and moved to
4224
``bzrlib.mutabletree._FastPath``. (Robert Collins, Martin Pool)
4226
* ``LockDir.wait`` removed. (Martin Pool)
4228
* The ``SmartServer`` hooks API has changed for the ``server_started`` and
4229
``server_stopped`` hooks. The first parameter is now an iterable of
4230
backing URLs rather than a single URL. This is to reflect that many
4231
URLs may map to the external URL of the server. E.g. the server interally
4232
may have a chrooted URL but also the local file:// URL will be at the
4233
same location. (Robert Collins)
4237
* New SMTPConnection class to unify email handling. (Adeodato Simó)
4239
* Fix documentation of BzrError. (Adeodato Simó)
4241
* Make BzrBadParameter an internal error. (Adeodato Simó)
4243
* Remove use of 'assert False' to raise an exception unconditionally.
4246
* Give a cleaner error when failing to decode knit index entry.
4249
* TreeConfig would mistakenly search the top level when asked for options
4250
from a section. It now respects the section argument and only
4251
searches the specified section. (James Westby)
4253
* Improve ``make api-docs`` output. (John Arbash Meinel)
4255
* Use os.lstat rather than os.stat for osutils.make_readonly and
4256
osutils.make_writeable. This makes the difftools plugin more
4257
robust when dangling symlinks are found. (Elliot Murphy)
4259
* New ``-Dlock`` option to log (to ~/.bzr.log) information on when
4260
lockdirs are taken or released. (Martin Pool)
4262
* ``bzrlib`` Hooks are now nameable using ``Hooks.name_hook``. This
4263
allows a nicer UI when hooks are running as the current hook can
4264
be displayed. (Robert Collins)
4266
* ``Transport.get`` has had its interface made more clear for ease of use.
4267
Retrieval of a directory must now fail with either 'PathError' at open
4268
time, or raise 'ReadError' on a read. (Robert Collins)
4270
* New method ``_maybe_expand_globs`` on the ``Command`` class for
4271
dealing with unexpanded glob lists - e.g. on the win32 platform. This
4272
was moved from ``bzrlib.add._prepare_file_list``. (Robert Collins)
4274
* ``bzrlib.add.smart_add`` and ``bzrlib.add.smart_add_tree`` are now
4275
deprecated in favour of ``MutableTree.smart_add``. (Robert Collins,
4278
* New method ``external_url`` on Transport for obtaining the url to
4279
hand to external processes. (Robert Collins)
4281
* Teach windows installers to build pyrex/C extensions.
4282
(Alexander Belchenko)
4286
* Removed the ``--keep-output`` option from selftest and clean up test
4287
directories as they're used. This reduces the IO load from
4288
running the test suite and cuts the time by about half.
4289
(Andrew Bennetts, Martin Pool)
4291
* Add scenarios as a public attribute on the TestAdapter classes to allow
4292
modification of the generated scenarios before adaption and easier
4293
testing. (Robert Collins)
4295
* New testing support class ``TestScenarioApplier`` which multiplies
4296
out a single teste by a list of supplied scenarios. (RobertCollins)
4298
* Setting ``repository_to_test_repository`` on a repository_implementations
4299
test will cause it to be called during repository creation, allowing the
4300
testing of repository classes which are not based around the Format
4301
concept. For example a repository adapter can be tested in this manner,
4302
by altering the repository scenarios to include a scenario that sets this
4303
attribute during the test parameterisation in
4304
``bzrlib.tests.repository.repository_implementations``. (Robert Collins)
4306
* Clean up many of the APIs for blackbox testing of Bazaar. The standard
4307
interface is now self.run_bzr. The command to run can be passed as
4308
either a list of parameters, a string containing the command line, or
4309
(deprecated) varargs parameters. (Martin Pool)
4311
* The base TestCase now isolates tests from -D parameters by clearing
4312
``debug.debug_flags`` and restores it afterwards. (Robert Collins)
4314
* Add a relpath parameter to get_transport methods in test framework to
4315
avoid useless cloning.
4316
(Vincent Ladeuil, #110448)
4320
--------------------
4324
* Fix crash of commit due to wrong lookup of filesystem encoding.
4325
(Colin Watson, #120647)
4327
* Revert logging just to stderr in commit as broke unicode filenames.
4328
(Aaron Bentley, Ian Clatworthy, #120930)
4331
bzr 0.17rc1 2007-06-12
4332
-----------------------
4334
NOTES WHEN UPGRADING:
4336
* The kind() and is_executable() APIs on the WorkingTree interface no
4337
longer implicitly (read) locks and unlocks the tree. This *might*
4338
impact some plug-ins and tools using this part of the API. If you find
4339
an issue that may be caused by this change, please let us know,
4340
particularly the plug-in/tool maintainer. If encountered, the API
4341
fix is to surround kind() and is_executable() calls with lock_read()
4342
and unlock() like so::
4344
work_tree.lock_read()
4346
kind = work_tree.kind(...)
4351
* Rework of LogFormatter API to provide beginning/end of log hooks and to
4352
encapsulate the details of the revision to be logged in a LogRevision
4354
In long log formats, merge revision ids are only shown when --show-ids
4355
is specified, and are labelled "revision-id:", as per mainline
4356
revisions, instead of "merged:". (Kent Gibson)
4358
* New ``BranchBuilder`` API which allows the construction of particular
4359
histories quickly. Useful for testing and potentially other applications
4360
too. (Robert Collins)
4364
* There are two new help topics, working-trees and repositories that
4365
attempt to explain these concepts. (James Westby, John Arbash Meinel,
4368
* Added ``bzr log --limit`` to report a limited number of revisions.
4369
(Kent Gibson, #3659)
4371
* Revert does not try to preserve file contents that were originally
4372
produced by reverting to a historical revision. (Aaron Bentley)
4374
* ``bzr log --short`` now includes ``[merge]`` for revisions which
4375
have more than one parent. This is a small improvement to help
4376
understanding what changes have occurred
4377
(John Arbash Meinel, #83887)
4379
* TreeTransform avoids many renames when contructing large trees,
4380
improving speed. 3.25x speedups have been observed for construction of
4381
kernel-sized-trees, and checkouts are 1.28x faster. (Aaron Bentley)
4383
* Commit on large trees is now faster. In my environment, a commit of
4384
a small change to the Mozilla tree (55k files) has dropped from
4385
66 seconds to 32 seconds. For a small tree of 600 files, commit of a
4386
small change is 33% faster. (Ian Clatworthy)
4388
* New --create-prefix option to bzr init, like for push. (Daniel Watkins,
4393
* ``bzr push`` should only connect to the remote location one time.
4394
We have been connecting 3 times because we forget to pass around
4395
the Transport object. This adds ``BzrDir.clone_on_transport()``, so
4396
that we can pass in the Transport that we already have.
4397
(John Arbash Meinel, #75721)
4399
* ``DirState.set_state_from_inventory()`` needs to properly order
4400
based on split paths, not just string paths.
4401
(John Arbash Meinel, #115947)
4403
* Let TestUIFactoy encode the password prompt with its own stdout.
4404
(Vincent Ladeuil, #110204)
4406
* pycurl should take use the range header that takes the range hint
4408
(Vincent Ladeuil, #112719)
4410
* WorkingTree4.get_file_sha1 no longer raises an exception when invoked
4411
on a missing file. (Aaron Bentley, #118186)
4413
* WorkingTree.remove works correctly with tree references, and when pwd is
4414
not the tree root. (Aaron Bentley)
4416
* Merge no longer fails when a file is renamed in one tree and deleted
4417
in the other. (Aaron Bentley, #110279)
4419
* ``revision-info`` now accepts dotted revnos, doesn't require a tree,
4420
and defaults to the last revision (Matthew Fuller, #90048)
4422
* Tests no longer fail when BZR_REMOTE_PATH is set in the environment.
4423
(Daniel Watkins, #111958)
4425
* ``bzr branch -r revid:foo`` can be used to branch any revision in
4426
your repository. (Previously Branch6 only supported revisions in your
4427
mainline). (John Arbash Meinel, #115343)
4430
--------------------
4434
* Handle when you have 2 directories with similar names, but one has a
4435
hyphen. (``'abc'`` versus ``'abc-2'``). The WT4._iter_changes
4436
iterator was using direct comparison and ``'abc/a'`` sorts after
4437
``'abc-2'``, but ``('abc', 'a')`` sorts before ``('abc-2',)``.
4438
(John Arbash Meinel, #111227)
4440
* Handle when someone renames a file on disk without telling bzr.
4441
Previously we would report the first file as missing, but not show
4442
the new unknown file. (John Arbash Meinel, #111288)
4444
* Avoid error when running hooks after pulling into or pushing from
4445
a branch bound to a smartserver branch. (Martin Pool, #111968)
4449
* Move developer documentation to doc/developers/. This reduces clutter in
4450
the root of the source tree and allows HACKING to be split into multiple
4451
files. (Robert Collins, Alexander Belchenko)
4453
* Clean up the ``WorkingTree4._iter_changes()`` internal loops as well as
4454
``DirState.update_entry()``. This optimizes the core logic for ``bzr
4455
diff`` and ``bzr status`` significantly improving the speed of
4456
both. (John Arbash Meinel)
4458
bzr 0.16rc2 2007-04-30
4459
-----------------------
4463
* Handle the case when you delete a file, and then rename another file
4464
on top of it. Also handle the case of ``bzr rm --keep foo``. ``bzr
4465
status`` should show the removed file and an unknown file in its
4466
place. (John Arbash Meinel, #109993)
4468
* Bundles properly read and write revision properties that have an
4469
empty value. And when the value is not ASCII.
4470
(John Arbash Meinel, #109613)
4472
* Fix the bzr commit message to be in text mode.
4473
(Alexander Belchenko, #110901)
4475
* Also handle when you rename a file and create a file where it used
4476
to be. (John Arbash Meinel, #110256)
4478
* ``WorkingTree4._iter_changes`` should not descend into unversioned
4479
directories. (John Arbash Meinel, #110399)
4481
bzr 0.16rc1 2007-04-26
4482
-----------------------
4484
NOTES WHEN UPGRADING:
4486
* ``bzr remove`` and ``bzr rm`` will now remove the working file, if
4487
it could be recovered again.
4488
This has been done for consistency with svn and the unix rm command.
4489
The old ``remove`` behaviour has been retained in the new option
4490
``bzr remove --keep``, which will just stop versioning the file,
4492
``bzr remove --force`` have been added which will always delete the
4494
``bzr remove`` is also more verbose.
4495
(Marius Kruger, #82602)
4499
* Merge directives can now be supplied as input to `merge` and `pull`,
4500
like bundles can. (Aaron Bentley)
4502
* Sending the SIGQUIT signal to bzr, which can be done on Unix by
4503
pressing Control-Backslash, drops bzr into a debugger. Type ``'c'``
4504
to continue. This can be disabled by setting the environment variable
4505
``BZR_SIGQUIT_PDB=0``. (Martin Pool)
4507
* selftest now supports --list-only to list tests instead of running
4508
them. (Ian Clatworthy)
4510
* selftest now supports --exclude PATTERN (or -x PATTERN) to exclude
4511
tests with names that match that regular expression.
4512
(Ian Clatworthy, #102679)
4514
* selftest now supports --randomize SEED to run tests in a random order.
4515
SEED is typically the value 'now' meaning 'use the current time'.
4516
(Ian Clatworthy, #102686)
4518
* New option ``--fixes`` to commit, which stores bug fixing annotations as
4519
revision properties. Built-in support for Launchpad, Debian, Trac and
4520
Bugzilla bug trackers. (Jonathan Lange, James Henstridge, Robert Collins)
4522
* New API, ``bzrlib.bugtracker.tracker_registry``, for adding support for
4523
other bug trackers to ``fixes``. (Jonathan Lange, James Henstridge,
4526
* ``selftest`` has new short options ``-f`` and ``-1``. (Martin
4529
* ``bzrlib.tsort.MergeSorter`` optimizations. Change the inner loop
4530
into using local variables instead of going through ``self._var``.
4531
Improves the time to ``merge_sort`` a 10k revision graph by
4532
approximately 40% (~700->400ms). (John Arbash Meinel)
4534
* ``make docs`` now creates a man page at ``man1/bzr.1`` fixing bug 107388.
4537
* ``bzr help`` now provides cross references to other help topics using
4538
the _see_also facility on command classes. Likewise the bzr_man
4539
documentation, and the bzr.1 man page also include this information.
4542
* Tags are now included in logs, that use the long log formatter.
4543
(Erik Bågfors, Alexander Belchenko)
4545
* ``bzr help`` provides a clearer message when a help topic cannot be
4546
found. (Robert Collins, #107656)
4548
* ``bzr help`` now accepts optional prefixes for command help. The help
4549
for all commands can now be found at ``bzr help commands/COMMANDNAME``
4550
as well as ``bzr help COMMANDNAME`` (which only works for commands
4551
where the name is not the same as a more general help topic).
4554
* ``bzr help PLUGINNAME`` will now return the module docstring from the
4555
plugin PLUGINNAME. (Robert Collins, #50408)
4557
* New help topic ``urlspec`` which lists the availables transports.
4558
(Goffredo Baroncelli)
4560
* doc/server.txt updated to document the default bzr:// port
4561
and also update the blurb about the hpss' current status.
4562
(Robert Collins, #107125).
4564
* ``bzr serve`` now listens on interface 0.0.0.0 by default, making it
4565
serve out to the local LAN (and anyone in the world that can reach the
4566
machine running ``bzr serve``. (Robert Collins, #98918)
4568
* A new smart server protocol version has been added. It prefixes requests
4569
and responses with an explicit version identifier so that future protocol
4570
revisions can be dealt with gracefully. (Andrew Bennetts, Robert Collins)
4572
* The bzr protocol version 2 indicates success or failure in every response
4573
without depending on particular commands encoding that consistently,
4574
allowing future client refactorings to be much more robust about error
4575
handling. (Robert Collins, Martin Pool, Andrew Bennetts)
4577
* The smart protocol over HTTP client has been changed to always post to the
4578
same ``.bzr/smart`` URL under the original location when it can. This allows
4579
HTTP servers to only have to pass URLs ending in .bzr/smart to the smart
4580
server handler, and not arbitrary ``.bzr/*/smart`` URLs. (Andrew Bennetts)
4582
* digest authentication is now supported for proxies and HTTP by the urllib
4583
based http implementation. Tested against Apache 2.0.55 and Squid
4584
2.6.5. Basic and digest authentication are handled coherently for HTTP
4585
and proxy: if the user is provided in the url (bzr command line for HTTP,
4586
proxy environment variables for proxies), the password is prompted for
4587
(only once). If the password is provided, it is taken into account. Once
4588
the first authentication is successful, all further authentication
4589
roundtrips are avoided by preventively setting the right authentication
4595
* bzrlib API compatability with 0.8 has been dropped, cleaning up some
4596
code paths. (Robert Collins)
4598
* Change the format of chroot urls so that they can be safely manipulated
4599
by generic url utilities without causing the resulting urls to have
4600
escaped the chroot. A side effect of this is that creating a chroot
4601
requires an explicit action using a ChrootServer.
4602
(Robert Collins, Andrew Bennetts)
4604
* Deprecate ``Branch.get_root_id()`` because branches don't have root ids,
4605
rather than fixing bug #96847. (Aaron Bentley)
4607
* ``WorkingTree.apply_inventory_delta`` provides a better alternative to
4608
``WorkingTree._write_inventory``. (Aaron Bentley)
4610
* Convenience method ``TestCase.expectFailure`` ensures that known failures
4611
do not silently pass. (Aaron Bentley)
4613
* ``Transport.local_abspath`` now raises ``NotLocalUrl`` rather than
4614
``TransportNotPossible``. (Martin Pool, Ian Clatworthy)
4616
* New SmartServer hooks facility. There are two initial hooks documented
4617
in ``bzrlib.transport.smart.SmartServerHooks``. The two initial hooks allow
4618
plugins to execute code upon server startup and shutdown.
4621
* SmartServer in standalone mode will now close its listening socket
4622
when it stops, rather than waiting for garbage collection. This primarily
4623
fixes test suite hangs when a test tries to connect to a shutdown server.
4624
It may also help improve behaviour when dealing with a server running
4625
on a specific port (rather than dynamically assigned ports).
4628
* Move most SmartServer code into a new package, bzrlib/smart.
4629
bzrlib/transport/remote.py contains just the Transport classes that used
4630
to be in bzrlib/transport/smart.py. (Andrew Bennetts)
4632
* urllib http implementation avoid roundtrips associated with
4633
401 (and 407) errors once the authentication succeeds.
4636
* urlib http now supports querying the user for a proxy password if
4637
needed. Realm is shown in the prompt for both HTTP and proxy
4638
authentication when the user is required to type a password.
4641
* Renamed SmartTransport (and subclasses like SmartTCPTransport) to
4642
RemoteTransport (and subclasses to RemoteTCPTransport, etc). This is more
4643
consistent with its new home in ``bzrlib/transport/remote.py``, and because
4644
it's not really a "smart" transport, just one that does file operations
4645
via remote procedure calls. (Andrew Bennetts)
4647
* The ``lock_write`` method of ``LockableFiles``, ``Repository`` and
4648
``Branch`` now accept a ``token`` keyword argument, so that separate
4649
instances of those objects can share a lock if it has the right token.
4650
(Andrew Bennetts, Robert Collins)
4652
* New method ``get_branch_reference`` on ``BzrDir`` allows the detection of
4653
branch references - which the smart server component needs.
4655
* The Repository API ``make_working_trees`` is now permitted to return
4656
False when ``set_make_working_trees`` is not implemented - previously
4657
an unimplemented ``set_make_working_trees`` implied the result True
4658
from ``make_working_trees``. This has been changed to accomodate the
4659
smart server, where it does not make sense (at this point) to ever
4660
make working trees by default. (Robert Collins)
4662
* Command objects can now declare related help topics by having _see_also
4663
set to a list of related topic. (Robert Collins)
4665
* ``bzrlib.help`` now delegates to the Command class for Command specific
4666
help. (Robert Collins)
4668
* New class ``TransportListRegistry``, derived from the Registry class, which
4669
simplifies tracking the available Transports. (Goffredo Baroncelli)
4671
* New function ``Branch.get_revision_id_to_revno_map`` which will
4672
return a dictionary mapping revision ids to dotted revnos. Since
4673
dotted revnos are defined in the context of the branch tip, it makes
4674
sense to generate them from a ``Branch`` object.
4675
(John Arbash Meinel)
4677
* Fix the 'Unprintable error' message display to use the repr of the
4678
exception that prevented printing the error because the str value
4679
for it is often not useful in debugging (e.g. KeyError('foo') has a
4680
str() of 'foo' but a repr of 'KeyError('foo')' which is much more
4681
useful. (Robert Collins)
4683
* ``urlutils.normalize_url`` now unescapes unreserved characters, such as "~".
4688
* Don't fail bundle selftest if email has 'two' embedded.
4689
(Ian Clatworthy, #98510)
4691
* Remove ``--verbose`` from ``bzr bundle``. It didn't work anyway.
4692
(Robert Widhopf-Fenk, #98591)
4694
* Remove ``--basis`` from the checkout/branch commands - it didn't work
4695
properly and is no longer beneficial.
4696
(Robert Collins, #53675, #43486)
4698
* Don't produce encoding error when adding duplicate files.
4701
* Fix ``bzr log <file>`` so it only logs the revisions that changed
4702
the file, and does it faster.
4703
(Kent Gibson, John Arbash Meinel, #51980, #69477)
4705
* Fix ``InterDirstateTre._iter_changes`` to handle when we come across
4706
an empty versioned directory, which now has files in it.
4707
(John Arbash Meinel, #104257)
4709
* Teach ``common_ancestor`` to shortcut when the tip of one branch is
4710
inside the ancestry of the other. Saves a lot of graph processing
4711
(with an ancestry of 16k revisions, ``bzr merge ../already-merged``
4712
changes from 2m10s to 13s). (John Arbash Meinel, #103757)
4714
* Fix ``show_diff_trees`` to handle the case when a file is modified,
4715
and the containing directory is renamed. (The file path is different
4716
in this versus base, but it isn't marked as a rename).
4717
(John Arbash Meinel, #103870)
4719
* FTP now works even when the FTP server does not support atomic rename.
4720
(Aaron Bentley, #89436)
4722
* Correct handling in bundles and merge directives of timezones with
4723
that are not an integer number of hours offset from UTC. Always
4724
represent the epoch time in UTC to avoid problems with formatting
4725
earlier times on win32. (Martin Pool, Alexander Belchenko, John
4728
* Typo in the help for ``register-branch`` fixed. (Robert Collins, #96770)
4730
* "dirstate" and "dirstate-tags" formats now produce branches compatible
4731
with old versions of bzr. (Aaron Bentley, #107168))
4733
* Handle moving a directory when children have been added, removed,
4734
and renamed. (John Arbash Meinel, #105479)
4736
* Don't preventively use basic authentication for proxy before receiving a
4737
407 error. Otherwise people willing to use other authentication schemes
4738
may expose their password in the clear (or nearly). This add one
4739
roundtrip in case basic authentication should be used, but plug the
4743
* Handle http and proxy digest authentication.
4744
(Vincent Ladeuil, #94034).
4748
* Added ``bzrlib.strace.strace`` which will strace a single callable and
4749
return a StraceResult object which contains just the syscalls involved
4750
in running it. (Robert Collins)
4752
* New test method ``reduceLockdirTimeout`` to drop the default (ui-centric)
4753
default time down to one suitable for tests. (Andrew Bennetts)
4755
* Add new ``vfs_transport_factory`` attribute on tests which provides the
4756
common vfs backing for both the readonly and readwrite transports.
4757
This allows the RemoteObject tests to back onto local disk or memory,
4758
and use the existing ``transport_server`` attribute all tests know about
4759
to be the smart server transport. This in turn allows tests to
4760
differentiate between 'transport to access the branch', and
4761
'transport which is a VFS' - which matters in Remote* tests.
4762
(Robert Collins, Andrew Bennetts)
4764
* The ``make_branch_and_tree`` method for tests will now create a
4765
lightweight checkout for the tree if the ``vfs_transport_factory`` is not
4766
a LocalURLServer. (Robert Collins, Andrew Bennetts)
4768
* Branch implementation tests have been audited to ensure that all urls
4769
passed to Branch APIs use proper urls, except when local-disk paths
4770
are intended. This is so that tests correctly access the test transport
4771
which is often not equivalent to local disk in Remote* tests. As part
4772
of this many tests were adjusted to remove dependencies on local disk
4774
(Robert Collins, Andrew Bennetts)
4776
* Mark bzrlib.tests and bzrlib.tests.TestUtil as providing assertFOO helper
4777
functions by adding a ``__unittest`` global attribute. (Robert Collins,
4778
Andrew Bennetts, Martin Pool, Jonathan Lange)
4780
* Refactored proxy and authentication handling to simplify the
4781
implementation of new auth schemes for both http and proxy.
4789
* Handle incompatible repositories as a user issue when fetching.
4792
* Don't give a recommendation to upgrade when branching or
4793
checking out a branch that contains an old-format working tree.
4796
bzr 0.15rc3 2007-03-26
4797
-----------------------
4801
* A warning is now displayed when opening working trees in older
4802
formats, to encourage people to upgrade to WorkingTreeFormat4.
4807
* HTTP redirections are now taken into account when a branch (or a
4808
bundle) is accessed for the first time. A message is issued at each
4809
redirection to inform the user. In the past, http redirections were
4810
silently followed for each request which significantly degraded the
4811
performances. The http redirections are not followed anymore by
4812
default, instead a RedirectRequested exception is raised. For bzrlib
4813
users needing to follow http redirections anyway,
4814
``bzrlib.transport.do_catching_redirections`` provide an easy transition
4819
* Added ``ReadLock.temporary_write_lock()`` to allow upgrading an OS read
4820
lock to an OS write lock. Linux can do this without unlocking, Win32
4821
needs to unlock in between. (John Arbash Meinel)
4823
* New parameter ``recommend_upgrade`` to ``BzrDir.open_workingtree``
4824
to silence (when false) warnings about opening old formats.
4827
* Fix minor performance regression with bzr-0.15 on pre-dirstate
4828
trees. (We were reading the working inventory too many times).
4829
(John Arbash Meinel)
4831
* Remove ``Branch.get_transaction()`` in favour of a simple cache of
4832
``revision_history``. Branch subclasses should override
4833
``_gen_revision_history`` rather than ``revision_history`` to make use of
4834
this cache, and call ``_clear_revision_history_cache`` and
4835
``_cache_revision_history`` at appropriate times. (Andrew Bennetts)
4839
* Take ``smtp_server`` from user config into account.
4842
* Restore Unicode filename handling for versioned and unversioned files.
4843
(John Arbash Meinel, #92608)
4845
* Don't fail during ``bzr commit`` if a file is marked removed, and
4846
the containing directory is auto-removed. (John Arbash Meinel, #93681)
4848
* ``bzr status FILENAME`` failed on Windows because of an uncommon
4849
errno. (``ERROR_DIRECTORY == 267 != ENOTDIR``).
4850
(Wouter van Heyst, John Arbash Meinel, #90819)
4852
* ``bzr checkout source`` should create a local branch in the same
4853
format as source. (John Arbash Meinel, #93854)
4855
* ``bzr commit`` with a kind change was failing to update the
4856
last-changed-revision for directories. The
4857
InventoryDirectory._unchanged only looked at the ``parent_id`` and name,
4858
ignoring the fact that the kind could have changed, too.
4859
(John Arbash Meinel, #90111)
4861
* ``bzr mv dir/subdir other`` was incorrectly updating files inside
4862
the directory. So that there was a chance it would break commit,
4863
etc. (John Arbash Meinel, #94037)
4865
* Correctly handles mutiple permanent http redirections.
4868
bzr 0.15rc2 2007-03-14
4869
-----------------------
4871
NOTES WHEN UPGRADING:
4873
* Release 0.15rc2 of bzr changes the ``bzr init-repo`` command to
4874
default to ``--trees`` instead of ``--no-trees``.
4875
Existing shared repositories are not affected.
4879
* New ``merge-directive`` command to generate machine- and human-readable
4880
merge requests. (Aaron Bentley)
4882
* New ``submit:`` revision specifier makes it easy to diff against the
4883
common ancestor with the submit location (Aaron Bentley)
4885
* Added support for Putty's SSH implementation. (Dmitry Vasiliev)
4887
* Added ``bzr status --versioned`` to report only versioned files,
4888
not unknowns. (Kent Gibson)
4890
* Merge now autodetects the correct line-ending style for its conflict
4891
markers. (Aaron Bentley)
4895
* Refactored SSH vendor registration into SSHVendorManager class.
4900
* New ``--numbered-dirs`` option to ``bzr selftest`` to use
4901
numbered dirs for TestCaseInTempDir. This is default behavior
4902
on Windows. Anyone can force named dirs on Windows
4903
with ``--no-numbered-dirs``. (Alexander Belchenko)
4905
* Fix ``RevisionSpec_revid`` to handle the Unicode strings passed in
4906
from the command line. (Marien Zwart, #90501)
4908
* Fix ``TreeTransform._iter_changes`` when both the source and
4909
destination are missing. (Aaron Bentley, #88842)
4911
* Fix commit of merges with symlinks in dirstate trees.
4914
* Switch the ``bzr init-repo`` default from --no-trees to --trees.
4915
(Wouter van Heyst, #53483)
4918
bzr 0.15rc1 2007-03-07
4919
-----------------------
4923
* The default disk format has changed. Please run 'bzr upgrade' in your
4924
working trees to upgrade. This new default is compatible for network
4925
operations, but not for local operations. That is, if you have two
4926
versions of bzr installed locally, after upgrading you can only use the
4927
bzr 0.15 version. This new default does not enable tags or nested-trees
4928
as they are incompatible with bzr versions before 0.15 over the network.
4930
* For users of bzrlib: Two major changes have been made to the working tree
4931
api in bzrlib. The first is that many methods and attributes, including
4932
the inventory attribute, are no longer valid for use until one of
4933
``lock_read``/``lock_write``/``lock_tree_write`` has been called,
4934
and become invalid again after unlock is called. This has been done
4935
to improve performance and correctness as part of the dirstate
4937
(Robert Collins, John A Meinel, Martin Pool, and others).
4939
* For users of bzrlib: The attribute 'tree.inventory' should be considered
4940
readonly. Previously it was possible to directly alter this attribute, or
4941
its contents, and have the tree notice this. This has been made
4942
unsupported - it may work in some tree formats, but in the newer dirstate
4943
format such actions will have no effect and will be ignored, or even
4944
cause assertions. All operations possible can still be carried out by a
4945
combination of the tree API, and the bzrlib.transform API. (Robert
4946
Collins, John A Meinel, Martin Pool, and others).
4950
* Support for OS Windows 98. Also .bzr.log on any windows system
4951
saved in My Documents folder. (Alexander Belchenko)
4953
* ``bzr mv`` enhanced to support already moved files.
4954
In the past the mv command would have failed if the source file doesn't
4955
exist. In this situation ``bzr mv`` would now detect that the file has
4956
already moved and update the repository accordingly, if the target file
4958
A new option ``--after`` has been added so that if two files already
4959
exist, you could notify Bazaar that you have moved a (versioned) file
4960
and replaced it with another. Thus in this case ``bzr move --after``
4961
will only update the Bazaar identifier.
4962
(Steffen Eichenberg, Marius Kruger)
4964
* ``ls`` now works on treeless branches and remote branches.
4967
* ``bzr help global-options`` describes the global options.
4970
* ``bzr pull --overwrite`` will now correctly overwrite checkouts.
4973
* Files are now allowed to change kind (e.g. from file to symlink).
4974
Supported by ``commit``, ``revert`` and ``status``
4977
* ``inventory`` and ``unknowns`` hidden in favour of ``ls``
4980
* ``bzr help checkouts`` descibes what checkouts are and some possible
4981
uses of them. (James Westby, Aaron Bentley)
4983
* A new ``-d`` option to push, pull and merge overrides the default
4984
directory. (Martin Pool)
4986
* Branch format 6: smaller, and potentially faster than format 5. Supports
4987
``append_history_only`` mode, where the log view and revnos do not change,
4988
except by being added to. Stores policy settings in
4989
".bzr/branch/branch.conf".
4991
* ``append_only`` branches: Format 6 branches may be configured so that log
4992
view and revnos are always consistent. Either create the branch using
4993
"bzr init --append-revisions-only" or edit the config file as descriped
4994
in docs/configuration.txt.
4996
* rebind: Format 6 branches retain the last-used bind location, so if you
4997
"bzr unbind", you can "bzr bind" to bind to the previously-selected
5000
* Builtin tags support, created and deleted by the ``tag`` command and
5001
stored in the branch. Tags can be accessed with the revisionspec
5002
``-rtag:``, and listed with ``bzr tags``. Tags are not versioned
5003
at present. Tags require a network incompatible upgrade. To perform this
5004
upgrade, run ``bzr upgrade --dirstate-tags`` in your branch and
5005
repositories. (Martin Pool)
5007
* The ``bzr://`` transport now has a well-known port number, 4155,
5008
which it will use by default. (Andrew Bennetts, Martin Pool)
5010
* Bazaar now looks for user-installed plugins before looking for site-wide
5011
plugins. (Jonathan Lange)
5013
* ``bzr resolve`` now detects and marks resolved text conflicts.
5018
* Internally revision ids and file ids are now passed around as utf-8
5019
bytestrings, rather than treating them as Unicode strings. This has
5020
performance benefits for Knits, since we no longer need to decode the
5021
revision id for each line of content, nor for each entry in the index.
5022
This will also help with the future dirstate format.
5023
(John Arbash Meinel)
5025
* Reserved ids (any revision-id ending in a colon) are rejected by
5026
versionedfiles, repositories, branches, and working trees
5029
* Minor performance improvement by not creating a ProgressBar for
5030
every KnitIndex we create. (about 90ms for a bzr.dev tree)
5031
(John Arbash Meinel)
5033
* New easier to use Branch hooks facility. There are five initial hooks,
5034
all documented in bzrlib.branch.BranchHooks.__init__ - ``'set_rh'``,
5035
``'post_push'``, ``'post_pull'``, ``'post_commit'``,
5036
``'post_uncommit'``. These hooks fire after the matching operation
5037
on a branch has taken place, and were originally added for the
5038
branchrss plugin. (Robert Collins)
5040
* New method ``Branch.push()`` which should be used when pushing from a
5041
branch as it makes performance and policy decisions to match the UI
5042
level command ``push``. (Robert Collins).
5044
* Add a new method ``Tree.revision_tree`` which allows access to cached
5045
trees for arbitrary revisions. This allows the in development dirstate
5046
tree format to provide access to the callers to cached copies of
5047
inventory data which are cheaper to access than inventories from the
5049
(Robert Collins, Martin Pool)
5051
* New ``Branch.last_revision_info`` method, this is being done to allow
5052
optimization of requests for both the number of revisions and the last
5053
revision of a branch with smartservers and potentially future branch
5054
formats. (Wouter van Heyst, Robert Collins)
5056
* Allow ``'import bzrlib.plugins.NAME'`` to work when the plugin NAME has not
5057
yet been loaded by ``load_plugins()``. This allows plugins to depend on each
5058
other for code reuse without requiring users to perform file-renaming
5059
gymnastics. (Robert Collins)
5061
* New Repository method ``'gather_stats'`` for statistic data collection.
5062
This is expected to grow to cover a number of related uses mainly
5063
related to bzr info. (Robert Collins)
5065
* Log formatters are now managed with a registry.
5066
``log.register_formatter`` continues to work, but callers accessing
5067
the FORMATTERS dictionary directly will not.
5069
* Allow a start message to be passed to the ``edit_commit_message``
5070
function. This will be placed in the message offered to the user
5071
for editing above the separator. It allows a template commit message
5072
to be used more easily. (James Westby)
5074
* ``GPGStrategy.sign()`` will now raise ``BzrBadParameterUnicode`` if
5075
you pass a Unicode string rather than an 8-bit string. Callers need
5076
to be updated to encode first. (John Arbash Meinel)
5078
* Branch.push, pull, merge now return Result objects with information
5079
about what happened, rather than a scattering of various methods. These
5080
are also passed to the post hooks. (Martin Pool)
5082
* File formats and architecture is in place for managing a forest of trees
5083
in bzr, and splitting up existing trees into smaller subtrees, and
5084
finally joining trees to make a larger tree. This is the first iteration
5085
of this support, and the user-facing aspects still require substantial
5086
work. If you wish to experiment with it, use ``bzr upgrade
5087
--dirstate-with-subtree`` in your working trees and repositories.
5088
You can use the hidden commands ``split`` and ``join`` and to create
5089
and manipulate nested trees, but please consider using the nested-trees
5090
branch, which contains substantial UI improvements, instead.
5091
http://code.aaronbentley.com/bzr/bzrrepo/nested-trees/
5092
(Aaron Bentley, Martin Pool, Robert Collins).
5096
* ``bzr annotate`` now uses dotted revnos from the viewpoint of the
5097
branch, rather than the last changed revision of the file.
5098
(John Arbash Meinel, #82158)
5100
* Lock operations no longer hang if they encounter a permission problem.
5103
* ``bzr push`` can resume a push that was canceled before it finished.
5104
Also, it can push even if the target directory exists if you supply
5105
the ``--use-existing-dir`` flag.
5106
(John Arbash Meinel, #30576, #45504)
5108
* Fix http proxy authentication when user and an optional
5109
password appears in the ``*_proxy`` vars. (Vincent Ladeuil,
5112
* ``bzr log branch/file`` works for local treeless branches
5113
(Aaron Bentley, #84247)
5115
* Fix problem with UNC paths on Windows 98. (Alexander Belchenko, #84728)
5117
* Searching location of CA bundle for PyCurl in env variable
5118
(``CURL_CA_BUNDLE``), and on win32 along the PATH.
5119
(Alexander Belchenko, #82086)
5121
* ``bzr init`` works with unicode argument LOCATION.
5122
(Alexander Belchenko, #85599)
5124
* Raise ``DependencyNotPresent`` if pycurl do not support https.
5125
(Vincent Ladeuil, #85305)
5127
* Invalid proxy env variables should not cause a traceback.
5128
(Vincent Ladeuil, #87765)
5130
* Ignore patterns normalised to use '/' path separator.
5131
(Kent Gibson, #86451)
5133
* bzr rocks. It sure does! Fix case. (Vincent Ladeuil, #78026)
5135
* Fix bzrtools shelve command for removed lines beginning with "--"
5136
(Johan Dahlberg, #75577)
5140
* New ``--first`` option to ``bzr selftest`` to run specified tests
5141
before the rest of the suite. (Martin Pool)
5145
--------------------
5149
* ``bzr help global-options`` describes the global options. (Aaron Bentley)
5153
* Skip documentation generation tests if the tools to do so are not
5154
available. Fixes running selftest for installled copies of bzr.
5155
(John Arbash Meinel, #80330)
5157
* Fix the code that discovers whether bzr is being run from it's
5158
working tree to handle the case when it isn't but the directory
5159
it is in is below a repository. (James Westby, #77306)
5162
bzr 0.14rc1 2007-01-16
5163
-----------------------
5167
* New connection: ``bzr+http://`` which supports tunnelling the smart
5168
protocol over an HTTP connection. If writing is enabled on the bzr
5169
server, then you can write over the http connection.
5170
(Andrew Bennetts, John Arbash Meinel)
5172
* Aliases now support quotation marks, so they can contain whitespace
5175
* PyCurlTransport now use a single curl object. By specifying explicitly
5176
the 'Range' header, we avoid the need to use two different curl objects
5177
(and two connections to the same server). (Vincent Ladeuil)
5179
* ``bzr commit`` does not prompt for a message until it is very likely to
5180
succeed. (Aaron Bentley)
5182
* ``bzr conflicts`` now takes --text to list pathnames of text conflicts
5185
* Fix ``iter_lines_added_or_present_in_versions`` to use a set instead
5186
of a list while checking if a revision id was requested. Takes 10s
5187
off of the ``fileids_affected_by_revision_ids`` time, which is 10s
5188
of the ``bzr branch`` time. Also improve ``fileids_...`` time by
5189
filtering lines with a regex rather than multiple ``str.find()``
5190
calls. (saves another 300ms) (John Arbash Meinel)
5192
* Policy can be set for each configuration key. This allows keys to be
5193
inherited properly across configuration entries. For example, this
5194
should enable you to do::
5196
[/home/user/project]
5197
push_location = sftp://host/srv/project/
5198
push_location:policy = appendpath
5200
And then a branch like ``/home/user/project/mybranch`` should get an
5201
automatic push location of ``sftp://host/srv/project/mybranch``.
5204
* Added ``bzr status --short`` to make status report svn style flags
5205
for each file. For example::
5207
$ bzr status --short
5213
* 'bzr selftest --clean-output' allows easily clean temporary tests
5214
directories without running tests. (Alexander Belchenko)
5216
* ``bzr help hidden-commands`` lists all hidden commands. (Aaron Bentley)
5218
* ``bzr merge`` now has an option ``--pull`` to fall back to pull if
5219
local is fully merged into remote. (Jan Hudec)
5221
* ``bzr help formats`` describes available directory formats. (Aaron Bentley)
5225
* A few tweaks directly to ``fileids_affected_by_revision_ids`` to
5226
help speed up processing, as well allowing to extract unannotated
5227
lines. Between the two ``fileids_affected_by_revision_ids`` is
5228
improved by approx 10%. (John Arbash Meinel)
5230
* Change Revision serialization to only write out millisecond
5231
resolution. Rather than expecting floating point serialization to
5232
preserve more resolution than we need. (Henri Weichers, Martin Pool)
5234
* Test suite ends cleanly on Windows. (Vincent Ladeuil)
5236
* When ``encoding_type`` attribute of class Command is equal to 'exact',
5237
force sys.stdout to be a binary stream on Windows, and therefore
5238
keep exact line-endings (without LF -> CRLF conversion).
5239
(Alexander Belchenko)
5241
* Single-letter short options are no longer globally declared. (Martin
5244
* Before using detected user/terminal encoding bzr should check
5245
that Python has corresponding codec. (Alexander Belchenko)
5247
* Formats for end-user selection are provided via a FormatRegistry (Aaron Bentley)
5251
* ``bzr missing --verbose`` was showing adds/removals in the wrong
5252
direction. (John Arbash Meinel)
5254
* ``bzr annotate`` now defaults to showing dotted revnos for merged
5255
revisions. It cuts them off at a depth of 12 characters, but you can
5256
supply ``--long`` to see the full number. You can also use
5257
``--show-ids`` to display the original revision ids, rather than
5258
revision numbers and committer names. (John Arbash Meinel, #75637)
5260
* bzr now supports Win32 UNC path (e.g. ``\HOST\path``.
5261
(Alexander Belchenko, #57869)
5263
* Win32-specific: output of cat, bundle and diff commands don't mangle
5264
line-endings (Alexander Belchenko, #55276)
5266
* Replace broken fnmatch based ignore pattern matching with custom pattern
5268
(Kent Gibson, Jan Hudec #57637)
5270
* pycurl and urllib can detect short reads at different places. Update
5271
the test suite to test more cases. Also detect http error code 416
5272
which was raised for that specific bug. Also enhance the urllib
5273
robustness by detecting invalid ranges (and pycurl's one by detecting
5274
short reads during the initial GET). (Vincent Ladeuil, #73948)
5276
* The urllib connection sharing interacts badly with urllib2
5277
proxy setting (the connections didn't go thru the proxy
5278
anymore). Defining a proper ProxyHandler solves the
5279
problem. (Vincent Ladeuil, #74759)
5281
* Use urlutils to generate relative URLs, not osutils
5282
(Aaron Bentley, #76229)
5284
* ``bzr status`` in a readonly directory should work without giving
5285
lots of errors. (John Arbash Meinel, #76299)
5287
* Mention the revisionspec topic for the revision option help.
5288
(Wouter van Heyst, #31663)
5290
* Allow plugins import from zip archives.

No changes from 0.13rc1
5299
bzr 0.13rc1 2006-11-27
5300
-----------------------
5304
* New command ``bzr remove-tree`` allows the removal of the working
5306
(Daniel Silverstone)
5308
* urllib uses shared keep-alive connections, so http
5309
operations are substantially faster.
5310
(Vincent Ladeuil, #53654)
5312
* ``bzr export`` allows an optional branch parameter, to export a bzr
5313
tree from some other url. For example:
5314
``bzr export bzr.tar.gz http://bazaar-vcs.org/bzr/bzr.dev``
5315
(Daniel Silverstone)
5317
* Added ``bzr help topics`` to the bzr help system. This gives a
5318
location for general information, outside of a specific command.
5319
This includes updates for ``bzr help revisionspec`` the first topic
5320
included. (Goffredo Baroncelli, John Arbash Meinel, #42714)
5322
* WSGI-compatible HTTP smart server. See ``doc/http_smart_server.txt``.
5325
* Knit files will now cache full texts only when the size of the
5326
deltas is as large as the size of the fulltext. (Or after 200
5327
deltas, whichever comes first). This has the most benefit on large
5328
files with small changes, such as the inventory for a large project.
5329
(eg For a project with 2500 files, and 7500 revisions, it changes
5330
the size of inventory.knit from 11MB to 5.4MB) (John Arbash Meinel)
5334
* New -D option given before the command line turns on debugging output
5335
for particular areas. -Derror shows tracebacks on all errors.
5338
* Clean up ``bzr selftest --benchmark bundle`` to correct an import,
5339
and remove benchmarks that take longer than 10min to run.
5340
(John Arbash Meinel)
5342
* Use ``time.time()`` instead of ``time.clock()`` to decide on
5343
progress throttling. Because ``time.clock()`` is actually CPU time,
5344
so over a high-latency connection, too many updates get throttled.
5345
(John Arbash Meinel)
5347
* ``MemoryTransport.list_dir()`` would strip the first character for
5348
files or directories in root directory. (John Arbash Meinel)
5350
* New method ``get_branch_reference`` on 'BzrDir' allows the detection of
5351
branch references - which the smart server component needs.
5353
* New ``ChrootTransportDecorator``, accessible via the ``chroot+`` url
5354
prefix. It disallows any access to locations above a set URL. (Andrew
5359
* Now ``_KnitIndex`` properly decode revision ids when loading index data.
5360
And optimize the knit index parsing code.
5361
(Dmitry Vasiliev, John Arbash Meinel)
5363
* ``bzrlib/bzrdir.py`` was directly referencing ``bzrlib.workingtree``,
5364
without importing it. This prevented ``bzr upgrade`` from working
5365
unless a plugin already imported ``bzrlib.workingtree``
5366
(John Arbash Meinel, #70716)
5368
* Suppress the traceback on invalid URLs (Vincent Ladeuil, #70803).
5370
* Give nicer error message when an http server returns a 403
5371
error code. (Vincent Ladeuil, #57644).
5373
* When a multi-range http GET request fails, try a single
5374
range one. If it fails too, forget about ranges. Remember that until
5375
the death of the transport and propagates that to the clones.
5376
(Vincent Ladeuil, #62276, #62029).
5378
* Handles user/passwords supplied in url from command
5379
line (for the urllib implementation). Don't request already
5380
known passwords (Vincent Ladeuil, #42383, #44647, #48527)
5382
* ``_KnitIndex.add_versions()`` dictionary compresses revision ids as they
5383
are added. This fixes bug where fetching remote revisions records
5384
them as full references rather than integers.
5385
(John Arbash Meinel, #64789)
5387
* ``bzr ignore`` strips trailing slashes in patterns.
5388
Also ``bzr ignore`` rejects absolute paths. (Kent Gibson, #4559)
5390
* ``bzr ignore`` takes multiple arguments. (Cheuksan Edward Wang, #29488)
5392
* mv correctly handles paths that traverse symlinks.
5393
(Aaron Bentley, #66964)
5395
* Give nicer looking error messages when failing to connect over ssh.
5396
(John Arbash Meinel, #49172)
5398
* Pushing to a remote branch does not currently update the remote working
5399
tree. After a remote push, ``bzr status`` and ``bzr diff`` on the remote
5400
machine now show that the working tree is out of date.
5401
(Cheuksan Edward Wang #48136)
5403
* Use patiencediff instead of difflib for determining deltas to insert
5404
into knits. This avoids the O(N^3) behavior of difflib. Patience
5405
diff should be O(N^2). (Cheuksan Edward Wang, #65714)
5407
* Running ``bzr log`` on nonexistent file gives an error instead of the
5408
entire log history. (Cheuksan Edward Wang #50793)
5410
* ``bzr cat`` can look up contents of removed or renamed files. If the
5411
pathname is ambiguous, i.e. the files in the old and new trees have
5412
different id's, the default is the file in the new tree. The user can
5413
use "--name-from-revision" to select the file in the old tree.
5414
(Cheuksan Edward Wang, #30190)
5418
* TestingHTTPRequestHandler really handles the Range header
5419
(previously it was ignoring it and returning the whole file,).
5422
--------------------
5426
* Clean up ``bzr selftest --benchmark bundle`` to correct an import,
5427
and remove benchmarks that take longer than 10min to run.
5428
(John Arbash Meinel)
5430
bzr 0.12rc1 2006-10-23
5431
-----------------------
5435
* ``bzr log`` now shows dotted-decimal revision numbers for all revisions,
5436
rather than just showing a decimal revision number for revisions on the
5437
mainline. These revision numbers are not yet accepted as input into bzr
5438
commands such as log, diff etc. (Robert Collins)
5440
* revisions can now be specified using dotted-decimal revision numbers.
5441
For instance, ``bzr diff -r 1.2.1..1.2.3``. (Robert Collins)
5443
* ``bzr help commands`` output is now shorter (Aaron Bentley)
5445
* ``bzr`` now uses lazy importing to reduce the startup time. This has
5446
a moderate effect on lots of actions, especially ones that have
5447
little to do. For example ``bzr rocks`` time is down to 116ms from
5448
283ms. (John Arbash Meinel)
5450
* New Registry class to provide name-to-object registry-like support,
5451
for example for schemes where plugins can register new classes to
5452
do certain tasks (e.g. log formatters). Also provides lazy registration
5453
to allow modules to be loaded on request.
5454
(John Arbash Meinel, Adeodato Simó)
5456
API INCOMPATABILITY:
5458
* LogFormatter subclasses show now expect the 'revno' parameter to
5459
show() to be a string rather than an int. (Robert Collins)
5463
* ``TestCase.run_bzr``, ``run_bzr_captured``, and ``run_bzr_subprocess``
5464
can take a ``working_dir='foo'`` parameter, which will change directory
5465
for the command. (John Arbash Meinel)
5467
* ``bzrlib.lazy_regex.lazy_compile`` can be used to create a proxy
5468
around a regex, which defers compilation until first use.
5469
(John Arbash Meinel)
5471
* ``TestCase.run_bzr_subprocess`` defaults to supplying the
5472
``--no-plugins`` parameter to ensure test reproducability, and avoid
5473
problems with system-wide installed plugins. (John Arbash Meinel)
5475
* Unique tree root ids are now supported. Newly created trees still
5476
use the common root id for compatibility with bzr versions before 0.12.
5479
* ``WorkingTree.set_root_id(None)`` is now deprecated. Please
5480
pass in ``inventory.ROOT_ID`` if you want the default root id value.
5481
(Robert Collins, John Arbash Meinel)
5483
* New method ``WorkingTree.flush()`` which will write the current memory
5484
inventory out to disk. At the same time, ``read_working_inventory`` will
5485
no longer trash the current tree inventory if it has been modified within
5486
the current lock, and the tree will now ``flush()`` automatically on
5487
``unlock()``. ``WorkingTree.set_root_id()`` has been updated to take
5488
advantage of this functionality. (Robert Collins, John Arbash Meinel)
5490
* ``bzrlib.tsort.merge_sorted`` now accepts ``generate_revnos``. This
5491
parameter will cause it to add another column to its output, which
5492
contains the dotted-decimal revno for each revision, as a tuple.
5495
* ``LogFormatter.show_merge`` is deprecated in favour of
5496
``LogFormatter.show_merge_revno``. (Robert Collins)
5500
* Avoid circular imports by creating a deprecated function for
5501
``bzrlib.tree.RevisionTree``. Callers should have been using
5502
``bzrlib.revisontree.RevisionTree`` anyway. (John Arbash Meinel,
5505
* Don't use ``socket.MSG_WAITALL`` as it doesn't exist on all
5506
platforms. (Martin Pool, #66356)
5508
* Don't require ``Content-Type`` in range responses. Assume they are a
5509
single range if ``Content-Type`` does not exist.
5510
(John Arbash Meinel, #62473)
5512
* bzr branch/pull no longer complain about progress bar cleanup when
5513
interrupted during fetch. (Aaron Bentley, #54000)
5515
* ``WorkingTree.set_parent_trees()`` uses the trees to directly write
5516
the basis inventory, rather than going through the repository. This
5517
allows us to have 1 inventory read, and 2 inventory writes when
5518
committing a new tree. (John Arbash Meinel)
5520
* When reverting, files that are not locally modified that do not exist
5521
in the target are deleted, not just unversioned (Aaron Bentley)
5523
* When trying to acquire a lock, don't fail immediately. Instead, try
5524
a few times (up to 1 hour) before timing out. Also, report why the
5525
lock is unavailable (John Arbash Meinel, #43521, #49556)
5527
* Leave HttpTransportBase daughter classes decides how they
5528
implement cloning. (Vincent Ladeuil, #61606)
5530
* diff3 does not indicate conflicts on clean merge. (Aaron Bentley)
5532
* If a commit fails, the commit message is stored in a file at the root of
5533
the tree for later commit. (Cheuksan Edward Wang, Stefan Metzmacher,
5538
* New test base class TestCaseWithMemoryTransport offers memory-only
5539
testing facilities: its not suitable for tests that need to mutate disk
5540
state, but most tests should not need that and should be converted to
5541
TestCaseWithMemoryTransport. (Robert Collins)
5543
* ``TestCase.make_branch_and_memory_tree`` now takes a format
5544
option to set the BzrDir, Repository and Branch formats of the
5545
created objects. (Robert Collins, John Arbash Meinel)
5548
--------------------
5550
* Smart server transport test failures on windows fixed. (Lukáš Lalinský).
5552
bzr 0.11rc2 2006-09-27
5553
-----------------------
5557
* Test suite hangs on windows fixed. (Andrew Bennets, Alexander Belchenko).
5559
* Commit performance regression fixed. (Aaron Bentley, Robert Collins, John
5562
bzr 0.11rc1 2006-09-25
5563
-----------------------
5567
* Knit files now wait to create their contents until the first data is
5568
added. The old code used to create an empty .knit and a .kndx with just
5569
the header. However, this caused a lot of extra round trips over sftp.
5570
This can change the time for ``bzr push`` to create a new remote branch
5571
from 160s down to 100s. This also affects ``bzr commit`` performance when
5572
adding new files, ``bzr commit`` on a new kernel-like tree drops from 50s
5573
down to 40s (John Arbash Meinel, #44692)
5575
* When an entire subtree has been deleted, commit will now report that
5576
just the top of the subtree has been deleted, rather than reporting
5577
all the individual items. (Robert Collins)
5579
* Commit performs one less XML parse. (Robert Collins)
5581
* ``bzr checkout`` now operates on readonly branches as well
5582
as readwrite branches. This fixes bug #39542. (Robert Collins)
5584
* ``bzr bind`` no longer synchronises history with the master branch.
5585
Binding should be followed by an update or push to synchronise the
5586
two branches. This is closely related to the fix for bug #39542.
5589
* ``bzrlib.lazy_import.lazy_import`` function to create on-demand
5590
objects. This allows all imports to stay at the global scope, but
5591
modules will not actually be imported if they are not used.
5592
(John Arbash Meinel)
5594
* Support ``bzr://`` and ``bzr+ssh://`` urls to work with the new RPC-based
5595
transport which will be used with the upcoming high-performance smart
5596
server. The new command ``bzr serve`` will invoke bzr in server mode,
5597
which processes these requests. (Andrew Bennetts, Robert Collins, Martin
5600
* New command ``bzr version-info`` which can be used to get a summary
5601
of the current state of the tree. This is especially useful as part
5602
of a build commands. See ``doc/version_info.txt`` for more information
5603
(John Arbash Meinel)
5607
* ``'bzr inventory [FILE...]'`` allows restricting the file list to a
5608
specific set of files. (John Arbash Meinel, #3631)
5610
* Don't abort when annotating empty files (John Arbash Meinel, #56814)
5612
* Add ``Stanza.to_unicode()`` which can be passed to another Stanza
5613
when nesting stanzas. Also, add ``read_stanza_unicode`` to handle when
5614
reading a nested Stanza. (John Arbash Meinel)
5616
* Transform._set_mode() needs to stat the right file.
5617
(John Arbash Meinel, #56549)
5619
* Raise WeaveFormatError rather than StopIteration when trying to read
5620
an empty Weave file. (John Arbash Meinel, #46871)
5622
* Don't access e.code for generic URLErrors, only HTTPErrors have .code.
5623
(Vincent Ladeuil, #59835)
5625
* Handle boundary="" lines properly to allow access through a Squid proxy.
5626
(John Arbash Meinel, #57723)
5628
* revert now removes newly-added directories (Aaron Bentley, #54172)
5630
* ``bzr upgrade sftp://`` shouldn't fail to upgrade v6 branches if there
5631
isn't a working tree. (David Allouche, #40679)
5633
* Give nicer error messages when a user supplies an invalid --revision
5634
parameter. (John Arbash Meinel, #55420)
5636
* Handle when LANG is not recognized by python. Emit a warning, but
5637
just revert to using 'ascii'. (John Arbash Meinel, #35392)
5639
* Don't use ``preexec_fn`` on win32, as it is not supported by subprocess.
5640
(John Arbash Meinel)
5642
* Skip specific tests when the dependencies aren't met. This includes
5643
some ``setup.py`` tests when ``python-dev`` is not available, and
5644
some tests that depend on paramiko. (John Arbash Meinel, Mattheiu Moy)
5646
* Fallback to Paramiko properly, if no ``ssh`` executable exists on
5647
the system. (Andrew Bennetts, John Arbash Meinel)
5649
* ``Branch.bind(other_branch)`` no longer takes a write lock on the
5650
other branch, and will not push or pull between the two branches.
5651
API users will need to perform a push or pull or update operation if they
5652
require branch synchronisation to take place. (Robert Collins, #47344)
5654
* When creating a tarball or zipfile export, export unicode names as utf-8
5655
paths. This may not work perfectly on all platforms, but has the best
5656
chance of working in the common case. (John Arbash Meinel, #56816)
5658
* When committing, only files that exist in working tree or basis tree
5659
may be specified (Aaron Bentley, #50793)
5663
* Fixes to run on Python 2.5 (Brian M. Carlson, Martin Pool, Marien Zwart)
5667
* TestCaseInTempDir now creates a separate directory for HOME, rather
5668
than having HOME set to the same location as the working directory.
5669
(John Arbash Meinel)
5671
* ``run_bzr_subprocess()`` can take an optional ``env_changes={}`` parameter,
5672
which will update os.environ inside the spawned child. It also can
5673
take a ``universal_newlines=True``, which helps when checking the output
5674
of the command. (John Arbash Meinel)
5676
* Refactor SFTP vendors to allow easier re-use when ssh is used.
5679
* ``Transport.list_dir()`` and ``Transport.iter_files_recursive()`` should always
5680
return urlescaped paths. This is now tested (there were bugs in a few
5681
of the transports) (Andrew Bennetts, David Allouche, John Arbash Meinel)
5683
* New utility function ``symbol_versioning.deprecation_string``. Returns the
5684
formatted string for a callable, deprecation format pair. (Robert Collins)
5686
* New TestCase helper applyDeprecated. This allows you to call a callable
5687
which is deprecated without it spewing to the screen, just by supplying
5688
the deprecation format string issued for it. (Robert Collins)
5690
* Transport.append and Transport.put have been deprecated in favor of
5691
``.append_bytes``, ``.append_file``, ``.put_bytes``, and
5692
``.put_file``. This removes the ambiguity in what type of object the
5693
functions take. ``Transport.non_atomic_put_{bytes,file}`` has also
5694
been added. Which works similarly to ``Transport.append()`` except for
5695
SFTP, it doesn't have a round trip when opening the file. Also, it
5696
provides functionality for creating a parent directory when trying
5697
to create a file, rather than raise NoSuchFile and forcing the
5698
caller to repeat their request.
5699
(John Arbash Meinel)
5701
* WorkingTree has a new api ``unversion`` which allow the unversioning of
5702
entries by their file id. (Robert Collins)
5704
* ``WorkingTree.pending_merges`` is deprecated. Please use the
5705
``get_parent_ids`` (introduced in 0.10) method instead. (Robert Collins)
5707
* WorkingTree has a new ``lock_tree_write`` method which locks the branch for
5708
read rather than write. This is appropriate for actions which only need
5709
the branch data for reference rather than mutation. A new decorator
5710
``needs_tree_write_lock`` is provided in the workingtree module. Like the
5711
``needs_read_lock`` and ``needs_write_lock`` decorators this allows static
5712
declaration of the locking requirements of a function to ensure that
5713
a lock is taken out for casual scripts. (Robert Collins, #54107)
5715
* All WorkingTree methods which write to the tree, but not to the branch
5716
have been converted to use ``needs_tree_write_lock`` rather than
5717
``needs_write_lock``. Also converted is the revert, conflicts and tree
5718
transform modules. This provides a modest performance improvement on
5719
metadir style trees, due to the reduce lock-acquisition, and a more
5720
significant performance improvement on lightweight checkouts from
5721
remote branches, where trivial operations used to pay a significant
5722
penalty. It also provides the basis for allowing readonly checkouts.
5725
* Special case importing the standard library 'copy' module. This shaves
5726
off 40ms of startup time, while retaining compatibility. See:
5727
``bzrlib/inspect_for_copy.py`` for more details. (John Arbash Meinel)
5729
* WorkingTree has a new parent class MutableTree which represents the
5730
specialisations of Tree which are able to be altered. (Robert Collins)
5732
* New methods mkdir and ``put_file_bytes_non_atomic`` on MutableTree that
5733
mutate the tree and its contents. (Robert Collins)
5735
* Transport behaviour at the root of the URL is now defined and tested.
5736
(Andrew Bennetts, Robert Collins)
5740
* New test helper classs MemoryTree. This is typically accessed via
5741
``self.make_branch_and_memory_tree()`` in test cases. (Robert Collins)
5743
* Add ``start_bzr_subprocess`` and ``stop_bzr_subprocess`` to allow test
5744
code to continue running concurrently with a subprocess of bzr.
5745
(Andrew Bennetts, Robert Collins)
5747
* Add a new method ``Transport.get_smart_client()``. This is provided to
5748
allow upgrades to a richer interface than the VFS one provided by
5749
Transport. (Andrew Bennetts, Martin Pool)
5752
--------------------
5755
* 'merge' now takes --uncommitted, to apply uncommitted changes from a
5756
tree. (Aaron Bentley)
5758
* 'bzr add --file-ids-from' can be used to specify another path to use
5759
for creating file ids, rather than generating all new ones. Internally,
5760
the 'action' passed to ``smart_add_tree()`` can return ``file_ids`` that
5761
will be used, rather than having bzrlib generate new ones.
5762
(John Arbash Meinel, #55781)
5764
* ``bzr selftest --benchmark`` now allows a ``--cache-dir`` parameter.
5765
This will cache some of the intermediate trees, and decrease the
5766
setup time for benchmark tests. (John Arbash Meinel)
5768
* Inverse forms are provided for all boolean options. For example,
5769
--strict has --no-strict, --no-recurse has --recurse (Aaron Bentley)
5771
* Serialize out Inventories directly, rather than using ElementTree.
5772
Writing out a kernel sized inventory drops from 2s down to ~350ms.
5773
(Robert Collins, John Arbash Meinel)
5777
* Help diffutils 2.8.4 get along with binary tests (Marien Zwart: #57614)
5779
* Change LockDir so that if the lock directory doesn't exist when
5780
``lock_write()`` is called, an attempt will be made to create it.
5781
(John Arbash Meinel, #56974)
5783
* ``bzr uncommit`` preserves pending merges. (John Arbash Meinel, #57660)
5785
* Active FTP transport now works as intended. (ghozzy, #56472)
5787
* Really fix mutter() so that it won't ever raise a UnicodeError.
5788
It means it is possible for ~/.bzr.log to contain non UTF-8 characters.
5789
But it is a debugging log, not a real user file.
5790
(John Arbash Meinel, #56947, #53880)
5792
* Change Command handle to allow Unicode command and options.
5793
At present we cannot register Unicode command names, so we will get
5794
BzrCommandError('unknown command'), or BzrCommandError('unknown option')
5795
But that is better than a UnicodeError + a traceback.
5796
(John Arbash Meinel, #57123)
5798
* Handle TZ=UTC properly when reading/writing revisions.
5799
(John Arbash Meinel, #55783, #56290)
5801
* Use ``GPG_TTY`` to allow gpg --cl to work with gpg-agent in a pipeline,
5802
(passing text to sign in on stdin). (John Arbash Meinel, #54468)
5804
* External diff does the right thing for binaries even in foreign
5805
languages. (John Arbash Meinel, #56307)
5807
* Testament handles more cases when content is unicode. Specific bug was
5808
in handling of revision properties.
5809
(John Arbash Meinel, Holger Krekel, #54723)
5811
* The bzr selftest was failing on installed versions due to a bug in a new
5812
test helper. (John Arbash Meinel, Robert Collins, #58057)
5816
* ``bzrlib.cache_utf8`` contains ``encode()`` and ``decode()`` functions
5817
which can be used to cache the conversion between utf8 and Unicode.
5818
Especially helpful for some of the knit annotation code, which has to
5819
convert revision ids to utf8 to annotate lines in storage.
5820
(John Arbash Meinel)
5822
* ``setup.py`` now searches the filesystem to find all packages which
5823
need to be installed. This should help make the life of packagers
5824
easier. (John Arbash Meinel)
5826
bzr 0.9.0 2006-08-11
5827
---------------------
5831
* The hard-coded built-in ignore rules have been removed. There are
5832
now two rulesets which are enforced. A user global one in
5833
``~/.bazaar/ignore`` which will apply to every tree, and the tree
5834
specific one '.bzrignore'.
5835
``~/.bazaar/ignore`` will be created if it does not exist, but with
5836
a more conservative list than the old default.
5837
This fixes bugs with default rules being enforced no matter what.
5838
The old list of ignore rules from bzr is available by
5839
running 'bzr ignore --old-default-rules'.
5840
(Robert Collins, Martin Pool, John Arbash Meinel)
5842
* 'branches.conf' has been changed to 'locations.conf', since it can apply
5843
to more locations than just branch locations.
5848
* The revision specifier "revno:" is extended to accept the syntax
5849
revno:N:branch. For example,
5850
revno:42:http://bazaar-vcs.org/bzr/bzr.dev/ means revision 42 in
5851
bzr.dev. (Matthieu Moy)
5853
* Tests updates to ensure proper URL handling, UNICODE support, and
5854
proper printing when the user's terminal encoding cannot display
5855
the path of a file that has been versioned.
5856
``bzr branch`` can take a target URL rather than only a local directory.
5857
``Branch.get_parent()/set_parent()`` now save a relative path if possible,
5858
and normalize the parent based on root, allowing access across
5859
different transports. (John Arbash Meinel, Wouter van Heyst, Martin Pool)
5860
(Malone #48906, #42699, #40675, #5281, #3980, #36363, #43689,
5863
* On Unix, detect terminal width using an ioctl not just $COLUMNS.
5864
Use terminal width for single-line logs from ``bzr log --line`` and
5865
pending-merge display. (Robert Widhopf-Fenk, Gustavo Niemeyer)
5868
* On Windows, detect terminal width using GetConsoleScreenBufferInfo.
5869
(Alexander Belchenko)
5871
* Speedup improvement for 'date:'-revision search. (Guillaume Pinot).
5873
* Show the correct number of revisions pushed when pushing a new branch.
5876
* 'bzr selftest' now shows a progress bar with the number of tests, and
5877
progress made. 'make check' shows tests in -v mode, to be more useful
5878
for the PQM status window. (Robert Collins).
5879
When using a progress bar, failed tests are printed out, rather than
5880
being overwritten by the progress bar until the suite finishes.
5881
(John Arbash Meinel)
5883
* 'bzr selftest --benchmark' will run a new benchmarking selftest.
5884
'bzr selftest --benchmark --lsprof-timed' will use lsprofile to generate
5885
profile data for the individual profiled calls, allowing for fine
5886
grained analysis of performance.
5887
(Robert Collins, Martin Pool).
5889
* 'bzr commit' shows a progress bar. This is useful for commits over sftp
5890
where commit can take an appreciable time. (Robert Collins)
5892
* 'bzr add' is now less verbose in telling you what ignore globs were
5893
matched by files being ignored. Instead it just tells you how many
5894
were ignored (because you might reasonably be expecting none to be
5895
ignored). 'bzr add -v' is unchanged and will report every ignored
5896
file. (Robert Collins).
5898
* ftp now has a test server if medusa is installed. As part of testing,
5899
ftp support has been improved, including support for supplying a
5900
non-standard port. (John Arbash Meinel).
5902
* 'bzr log --line' shows the revision number, and uses only the
5903
first line of the log message (#5162, Alexander Belchenko;
5906
* 'bzr status' has had the --all option removed. The 'bzr ls' command
5907
should be used to retrieve all versioned files. (Robert Collins)
5909
* 'bzr bundle OTHER/BRANCH' will create a bundle which can be sent
5910
over email, and applied on the other end, while maintaining ancestry.
5911
This bundle can be applied with either 'bzr merge' or 'bzr pull',
5912
the same way you would apply another branch.
5913
(John Arbash Meinel, Aaron Bentley)
5915
* 'bzr whoami' can now be used to set your identity from the command line,
5916
for a branch or globally. (Robey Pointer)
5918
* 'bzr checkout' now aliased to 'bzr co', and 'bzr annotate' to 'bzr ann'.
5921
* 'bzr revert DIRECTORY' now reverts the contents of the directory as well.
5924
* 'bzr get sftp://foo' gives a better error when paramiko is not present.
5925
Also updates things like 'http+pycurl://' if pycurl is not present.
5926
(John Arbash Meinel) (Malone #47821, #52204)
5928
* New env variable ``BZR_PROGRESS_BAR``, sets the default progress bar type.
5929
Can be set to 'none' or 'dummy' to disable the progress bar, 'dots' or
5930
'tty' to create the respective type. (John Arbash Meinel, #42197, #51107)
5932
* Improve the help text for 'bzr diff' to explain what various options do.
5933
(John Arbash Meinel, #6391)
5935
* 'bzr uncommit -r 10' now uncommits revisions 11.. rather than uncommitting
5936
revision 10. This makes -r10 more in line with what other commands do.
5937
'bzr uncommit' also now saves the pending merges of the revisions that
5938
were removed. So it is safe to uncommit after a merge, fix something,
5939
and commit again. (John Arbash Meinel, #32526, #31426)
5941
* 'bzr init' now also works on remote locations.
5942
(Wouter van Heyst, #48904)
5944
* HTTP support has been updated. When using pycurl we now support
5945
connection keep-alive, which reduces dns requests and round trips.
5946
And for both urllib and pycurl we support multi-range requests,
5947
which decreases the number of round-trips. Performance results for
5948
``bzr branch http://bazaar-vcs.org/bzr/bzr.dev/`` indicate
5949
http branching is now 2-3x faster, and ``bzr pull`` in an existing
5950
branch is as much as 4x faster.
5951
(Michael Ellerman, Johan Rydberg, John Arbash Meinel, #46768)
5953
* Performance improvements for sftp. Branching and pulling are now up to
5954
2x faster. Utilize paramiko.readv() support for async requests if it
5955
is available (paramiko > 1.6) (John Arbash Meinel)
5959
* Fix shadowed definition of TestLocationConfig that caused some
5961
(Erik Bågfors, Michael Ellerman, Martin Pool, #32587)
5963
* Fix unnecessary requirement of sign-my-commits that it be run from
5964
a working directory. (Martin Pool, Robert Collins)
5966
* 'bzr push location' will only remember the push location if it succeeds
5967
in connecting to the remote location. (John Arbash Meinel, #49742)
5969
* 'bzr revert' no longer toggles the executable bit on win32
5970
(John Arbash Meinel, #45010)
5972
* Handle broken pipe under win32 correctly. (John Arbash Meinel)
5974
* sftp tests now work correctly on win32 if you have a newer paramiko
5975
(John Arbash Meinel)
5977
* Cleanup win32 test suite, and general cleanup of places where
5978
file handles were being held open. (John Arbash Meinel)
5980
* When specifying filenames for 'diff -r x..y', the name of the file in the
5981
working directory can be used, even if its name is different in both x
5984
* File-ids containing single- or double-quotes are handled correctly by
5985
push. (Aaron Bentley, #52227)
5987
* Normalize unicode filenames to ensure cross-platform consistency.
5988
(John Arbash Meinel, #43689)
5990
* The argument parser can now handle '-' as an argument. Currently
5991
no code interprets it specially (it is mostly handled as a file named
5992
'-'). But plugins, and future operations can use it.
5993
(John Arbash meinel, #50984)
5995
* Bundles can properly read binary files with a plain '\r' in them.
5996
(John Arbash Meinel, #51927)
5998
* Tuning ``iter_entries()`` to be more efficient (John Arbash Meinel, #5444)
6000
* Lots of win32 fixes (the test suite passes again).
6001
(John Arbash Meinel, #50155)
6003
* Handle openbsd returning None for sys.getfilesystemencoding() (#41183)
6005
* Support ftp APPE (append) to allow Knits to be used over ftp (#42592)
6007
* Removals are only committed if they match the filespec (or if there is
6008
no filespec). (#46635, Aaron Bentley)
6010
* smart-add recurses through all supplied directories
6011
(John Arbash Meinel, #52578)
6013
* Make the bundle reader extra lines before and after the bundle text.
6014
This allows you to parse an email with the bundle inline.
6015
(John Arbash Meinel, #49182)
6017
* Change the file id generator to squash a little bit more. Helps when
6018
working with long filenames on windows. (Also helps for unicode filenames
6019
not generating hidden files). (John Arbash Meinel, #43801)
6021
* Restore terminal mode on C-c while reading sftp password. (#48923,
6022
Nicholas Allen, Martin Pool)
6024
* Timestamps are rounded to 1ms, and revision entries can be recreated
6025
exactly. (John Arbash Meinel, Jamie Wilkinson, #40693)
6027
* Branch.base has changed to a URL, but ~/.bazaar/locations.conf should
6028
use local paths, since it is user visible (John Arbash Meinel, #53653)
6030
* ``bzr status foo`` when foo was unversioned used to cause a full delta
6031
to be generated (John Arbash Meinel, #53638)
6033
* When reading revision properties, an empty value should be considered
6034
the empty string, not None (John Arbash Meinel, #47782)
6036
* ``bzr diff --diff-options`` can now handle binary files being changed.
6037
Also, the output is consistent when --diff-options is not supplied.
6038
(John Arbash Meinel, #54651, #52930)
6040
* Use the right suffixes for loading plugins (John Arbash Meinel, #51810)
6042
* Fix ``Branch.get_parent()`` to handle the case when the parent is not
6043
accessible (John Arbash Meinel, #52976)
6047
* Combine the ignore rules into a single regex rather than looping over
6048
them to reduce the threshold where N^2 behaviour occurs in operations
6049
like status. (Jan Hudec, Robert Collins).
6051
* Appending to ``bzrlib.DEFAULT_IGNORE`` is now deprecated. Instead, use
6052
one of the add functions in bzrlib.ignores. (John Arbash Meinel)
6054
* 'bzr push' should only push the ancestry of the current revision, not
6055
all of the history in the repository. This is especially important for
6056
shared repositories. (John Arbash Meinel)
6058
* ``bzrlib.delta.compare_trees`` now iterates in alphabetically sorted order,
6059
rather than randomly walking the inventories. (John Arbash Meinel)
6061
* Doctests are now run in temporary directories which are cleaned up when
6062
they finish, rather than using special ScratchDir/ScratchBranch objects.
6065
* Split ``check`` into separate methods on the branch and on the repository,
6066
so that it can be specialized in ways that are useful or efficient for
6067
different formats. (Martin Pool, Robert Collins)
6069
* Deprecate ``Repository.all_revision_ids``; most methods don't really need
6070
the global revision graph but only that part leading up to a particular
6071
revision. (Martin Pool, Robert Collins)
6073
* Add a BzrDirFormat ``control_formats`` list which allows for control formats
6074
that do not use '.bzr' to store their data - i.e. '.svn', '.hg' etc.
6075
(Robert Collins, Jelmer Vernooij).
6077
* ``bzrlib.diff.external_diff`` can be redirected to any file-like object.
6078
Uses subprocess instead of spawnvp.
6079
(James Henstridge, John Arbash Meinel, #4047, #48914)
6081
* New command line option '--profile-imports', which will install a custom
6082
importer to log time to import modules and regex compilation time to
6083
sys.stderr (John Arbash Meinel)
6085
* 'EmptyTree' is now deprecated, please use ``repository.revision_tree(None)``
6086
instead. (Robert Collins)
6088
* "RevisionTree" is now in bzrlib/revisiontree.py. (Robert Collins)
6090
bzr 0.8.2 2006-05-17
6091
---------------------
6095
* setup.py failed to install launchpad plugin. (Martin Pool)
6097
bzr 0.8.1 2006-05-16
6098
---------------------
6102
* Fix failure to commit a merge in a checkout. (Martin Pool,
6103
Robert Collins, Erik Bågfors, #43959)
6105
* Nicer messages from 'commit' in the case of renames, and correct
6106
messages when a merge has occured. (Robert Collins, Martin Pool)
6108
* Separate functionality from assert statements as they are skipped in
6109
optimized mode of python. Add the same check to pending merges.
6110
(Olaf Conradi, #44443)
6114
* Do not show the None revision in output of bzr ancestry. (Olaf Conradi)
6116
* Add info on standalone branches without a working tree.
6117
(Olaf Conradi, #44155)
6119
* Fix bug in knits when raising InvalidRevisionId. (Olaf Conradi, #44284)
6123
* Make editor invocation comply with Debian Policy. First check
6124
environment variables VISUAL and EDITOR, then try editor from
6125
alternatives system. If that all fails, fall back to the pre-defined
6126
list of editors. (Olaf Conradi, #42904)
6130
* New 'register-branch' command registers a public branch into
6131
Launchpad.net, where it can be associated with bugs, etc.
6132
(Martin Pool, Bjorn Tillenius, Robert Collins)
6136
* New public api in InventoryEntry - ``describe_change(old, new)`` which
6137
provides a human description of the changes between two old and
6138
new. (Robert Collins, Martin Pool)
6142
* Fix test case for bzr info in upgrading a standalone branch to metadir,
6143
uses bzrlib api now. (Olaf Conradi)
6148
NOTES WHEN UPGRADING:
6150
Release 0.8 of bzr introduces a new format for history storage, called
6151
'knit', as an evolution of to the 'weave' format used in 0.7. Local
6152
and remote operations are faster using knits than weaves. Several
6153
operations including 'init', 'init-repo', and 'upgrade' take a
6154
--format option that controls this. Branching from an existing branch
6155
will keep the same format.
6157
It is possible to merge, pull and push between branches of different
6158
formats but this is slower than moving data between homogenous
6159
branches. It is therefore recommended (but not required) that you
6160
upgrade all branches for a project at the same time. Information on
6161
formats is shown by 'bzr info'.
6163
bzr 0.8 now allows creation of 'repositories', which hold the history
6164
of files and revisions for several branches. Previously bzr kept all
6165
the history for a branch within the .bzr directory at the root of the
6166
branch, and this is still the default. To create a repository, use
6167
the new 'bzr init-repo' command. Branches exist as directories under
6168
the repository and contain just a small amount of information
6169
indicating the current revision of the branch.
6171
bzr 0.8 also supports 'checkouts', which are similar to in cvs and
6172
subversion. Checkouts are associated with a branch (optionally in a
6173
repository), which contains all the historical information. The
6174
result is that a checkout can be deleted without losing any
6175
already-committed revisions. A new 'update' command is also available.
6177
Repositories and checkouts are not supported with the 0.7 storage
6178
format. To use them you must upgrad to either knits, or to the
6179
'metaweave' format, which uses weaves but changes the .bzr directory
6185
* Sftp paths can now be relative, or local, according to the lftp
6186
convention. Paths now take the form::
6188
sftp://user:pass@host:port/~/relative/path
6190
sftp://user:pass@host:port/absolute/path
6192
* The FTP transport now tries to reconnect after a temporary
6193
failure. ftp put is made atomic. (Matthieu Moy)
6195
* The FTP transport now maintains a pool of connections, and
6196
reuses them to avoid multiple connections to the same host (like
6197
sftp did). (Daniel Silverstone)
6199
* The ``bzr_man.py`` file has been removed. To create the man page now,
6200
use ``./generate_docs.py man``. The new program can also create other files.
6201
Run ``python generate_docs.py --help`` for usage information.
6202
(Hans Ulrich Niedermann & James Blackwell).
6204
* Man Page now gives full help (James Blackwell).
6205
Help also updated to reflect user config now being stored in .bazaar
6206
(Hans Ulrich Niedermann)
6208
* It's now possible to set aliases in bazaar.conf (Erik Bågfors)
6210
* Pull now accepts a --revision argument (Erik Bågfors)
6212
* ``bzr re-sign`` now allows multiple revisions to be supplied on the command
6213
line. You can now use the following command to sign all of your old
6216
find .bzr/revision-store// -name my@email-* \
6217
| sed 's/.*\/\/..\///' \
6220
* Upgrade can now upgrade over the network. (Robert Collins)
6222
* Two new commands 'bzr checkout' and 'bzr update' allow for CVS/SVN-alike
6223
behaviour. By default they will cache history in the checkout, but
6224
with --lightweight almost all data is kept in the master branch.
6227
* 'revert' unversions newly-versioned files, instead of deleting them.
6229
* 'merge' is more robust. Conflict messages have changed.
6231
* 'merge' and 'revert' no longer clobber existing files that end in '~' or
6234
* Default log format can be set in configuration and plugins can register
6235
their own formatters. (Erik Bågfors)
6237
* New 'reconcile' command will check branch consistency and repair indexes
6238
that can become out of sync in pre 0.8 formats. (Robert Collins,
6241
* New 'bzr init --format' and 'bzr upgrade --format' option to control
6242
what storage format is created or produced. (Robert Collins,
6245
* Add parent location to 'bzr info', if there is one. (Olaf Conradi)
6247
* New developer commands 'weave-list' and 'weave-join'. (Martin Pool)
6249
* New 'init-repository' command, plus support for repositories in 'init'
6250
and 'branch' (Aaron Bentley, Erik Bågfors, Robert Collins)
6252
* Improve output of 'info' command. Show all relevant locations related to
6253
working tree, branch and repository. Use kibibytes for binary quantities.
6254
Fix off-by-one error in missing revisions of working tree. Make 'info'
6255
work on branches, repositories and remote locations. Show locations
6256
relative to the shared repository, if applicable. Show locking status
6257
of locations. (Olaf Conradi)
6259
* Diff and merge now safely handle binary files. (Aaron Bentley)
6261
* 'pull' and 'push' now normalise the revision history, so that any two
6262
branches with the same tip revision will have the same output from 'log'.
6265
* 'merge' accepts --remember option to store parent location, like 'push'
6266
and 'pull'. (Olaf Conradi)
6268
* bzr status and diff when files given as arguments do not exist
6269
in the relevant trees. (Martin Pool, #3619)
6271
* Add '.hg' to the default ignore list. (Martin Pool)
6273
* 'knit' is now the default disk format. This improves disk performance and
6274
utilization, increases incremental pull performance, robustness with SFTP
6275
and allows checkouts over SFTP to perform acceptably.
6276
The initial Knit code was contributed by Johan Rydberg based on a
6277
specification by Martin Pool.
6278
(Robert Collins, Aaron Bentley, Johan Rydberg, Martin Pool).
6280
* New tool to generate all-in-one html version of the manual. (Alexander
6283
* Hitting CTRL-C while doing an SFTP push will no longer cause stale locks
6284
to be left in the SFTP repository. (Robert Collins, Martin Pool).
6286
* New option 'diff --prefix' to control how files are named in diff
6287
output, with shortcuts '-p0' and '-p1' corresponding to the options for
6288
GNU patch. (Alexander Belchenko, Goffredo Baroncelli, Martin Pool)
6290
* Add --revision option to 'annotate' command. (Olaf Conradi)
6292
* If bzr shows an unexpected revision-history after pulling (perhaps due
6293
to a reweave) it can now be corrected by 'bzr reconcile'.
6298
* Commit is now verbose by default, and shows changed filenames and the
6299
new revision number. (Robert Collins, Martin Pool)
6301
* Unify 'mv', 'move', 'rename'. (Matthew Fuller, #5379)
6303
* 'bzr -h' shows help. (Martin Pool, Ian Bicking, #35940)
6305
* Make 'pull' and 'push' remember location on failure using --remember.
6308
* For compatibility, make old format for using weaves inside metadir
6309
available as 'metaweave' format. Rename format 'metadir' to 'default'.
6310
Clean up help for option --format in commands 'init', 'init-repo' and
6311
'upgrade'. (Olaf Conradi)
6315
* The internal storage of history, and logical branch identity have now
6316
been split into Branch, and Repository. The common locking and file
6317
management routines are now in bzrlib.lockablefiles.
6318
(Aaron Bentley, Robert Collins, Martin Pool)
6320
* Transports can now raise DependencyNotPresent if they need a library
6321
which is not installed, and then another implementation will be
6322
tried. (Martin Pool)
6324
* Remove obsolete (and no-op) `decode` parameter to `Transport.get`.
6327
* Using Tree Transform for merge, revert, tree-building
6329
* WorkingTree.create, Branch.create, ``WorkingTree.create_standalone``,
6330
Branch.initialize are now deprecated. Please see ``BzrDir.create_*`` for
6331
replacement API's. (Robert Collins)
6333
* New BzrDir class represents the .bzr control directory and manages
6334
formatting issues. (Robert Collins)
6336
* New repository.InterRepository class encapsulates Repository to
6337
Repository actions and allows for clean selection of optimised code
6338
paths. (Robert Collins)
6340
* ``bzrlib.fetch.fetch`` and ``bzrlib.fetch.greedy_fetch`` are now
6341
deprecated, please use ``branch.fetch`` or ``repository.fetch``
6342
depending on your needs. (Robert Collins)
6344
* deprecated methods now have a ``is_deprecated`` flag on them that can
6345
be checked, if you need to determine whether a given callable is
6346
deprecated at runtime. (Robert Collins)
6348
* Progress bars are now nested - see
6349
``bzrlib.ui.ui_factory.nested_progress_bar``.
6350
(Robert Collins, Robey Pointer)
6352
* New API call ``get_format_description()`` for each type of format.
6355
* Changed ``branch.set_parent()`` to accept None to remove parent.
6358
* Deprecated BzrError AmbiguousBase. (Olaf Conradi)
6360
* WorkingTree.branch is now a read only property. (Robert Collins)
6362
* bzrlib.ui.text.TextUIFactory now accepts a ``bar_type`` parameter which
6363
can be None or a factory that will create a progress bar. This is
6364
useful for testing or for overriding the bzrlib.progress heuristic.
6367
* New API method ``get_physical_lock_status()`` to query locks present on a
6368
transport. (Olaf Conradi)
6370
* Repository.reconcile now takes a thorough keyword parameter to allow
6371
requesting an indepth reconciliation, rather than just a data-loss
6372
check. (Robert Collins)
6374
* ``bzrlib.ui.ui_factory protocol`` now supports ``get_boolean`` to prompt
6375
the user for yes/no style input. (Robert Collins)
6379
* SFTP tests now shortcut the SSH negotiation, reducing test overhead
6380
for testing SFTP protocol support. (Robey Pointer)
6382
* Branch formats are now tested once per implementation (see ``bzrlib.
6383
tests.branch_implementations``. This is analagous to the transport
6384
interface tests, and has been followed up with working tree,
6385
repository and BzrDir tests. (Robert Collins)
6387
* New test base class TestCaseWithTransport provides a transport aware
6388
test environment, useful for testing any transport-interface using
6389
code. The test suite option --transport controls the transport used
6390
by this class (when its not being used as part of implementation
6391
contract testing). (Robert Collins)
6393
* Close logging handler on disabling the test log. This will remove the
6394
handler from the internal list inside python's logging module,
6395
preventing shutdown from closing it twice. (Olaf Conradi)
6397
* Move test case for uncommit to blackbox tests. (Olaf Conradi)
6399
* ``run_bzr`` and ``run_bzr_captured`` now accept a 'stdin="foo"'
6400
parameter which will provide String("foo") to the command as its stdin.
6407
* .bzrignore is excluded from exports, on the grounds that it's a bzr
6408
internal-use file and may not be wanted. (Jamie Wilkinson)
6410
* The "bzr directories" command were removed in favor of the new
6411
--kind option to the "bzr inventory" command. To list all
6412
versioned directories, now use "bzr inventory --kind directory".
6415
* Under Windows configuration directory is now ``%APPDATA%\bazaar\2.0``
6416
by default. (John Arbash Meinel)
6418
* The parent of Bzr configuration directory can be set by ``BZR_HOME``
6419
environment variable. Now the path for it is searched in ``BZR_HOME``,
6420
then in HOME. Under Windows the order is: ``BZR_HOME``, ``APPDATA``
6421
(usually points to ``C:\Documents and Settings\User Name\Application Data``),
6422
``HOME``. (John Arbash Meinel)
6424
* Plugins with the same name in different directories in the bzr plugin
6425
path are no longer loaded: only the first successfully loaded one is
6426
used. (Robert Collins)
6428
* Use systems' external ssh command to open connections if possible.
6429
This gives better integration with user settings such as ProxyCommand.
6432
* Permissions on files underneath .bzr/ are inherited from the .bzr
6433
directory. So for a shared repository, simply doing 'chmod -R g+w .bzr/'
6434
will mean that future file will be created with group write permissions.
6436
* configure.in and config.guess are no longer in the builtin default
6439
* '.sw[nop]' pattern ignored, to ignore vim swap files for nameless
6440
files. (John Arbash Meinel, Martin Pool)
6444
* "bzr INIT dir" now initializes the specified directory, and creates
6445
it if it does not exist. (John Arbash Meinel)
6447
* New remerge command (Aaron Bentley)
6449
* Better zsh completion script. (Steve Borho)
6451
* 'bzr diff' now returns 1 when there are changes in the working
6452
tree. (Robert Collins)
6454
* 'bzr push' now exists and can push changes to a remote location.
6455
This uses the transport infrastructure, and can store the remote
6456
location in the ~/.bazaar/branches.conf configuration file.
6459
* Test directories are only kept if the test fails and the user requests
6462
* Tweaks to short log printing
6464
* Added branch nicks, new nick command, printing them in log output.
6467
* If ``$BZR_PDB`` is set, pop into the debugger when an uncaught exception
6468
occurs. (Martin Pool)
6470
* Accept 'bzr resolved' (an alias for 'bzr resolve'), as this is
6471
the same as Subversion. (Martin Pool)
6473
* New ftp transport support (on ftplib), for ftp:// and aftp://
6474
URLs. (Daniel Silverstone)
6476
* Commit editor temporary files now start with ``bzr_log.``, to allow
6477
text editors to match the file name and set up appropriate modes or
6478
settings. (Magnus Therning)
6480
* Improved performance when integrating changes from a remote weave.
6481
(Goffredo Baroncelli)
6483
* Sftp will attempt to cache the connection, so it is more likely that
6484
a connection will be reused, rather than requiring multiple password
6487
* bzr revno now takes an optional argument indicating the branch whose
6488
revno should be printed. (Michael Ellerman)
6490
* bzr cat defaults to printing the last version of the file.
6491
(Matthieu Moy, #3632)
6493
* New global option 'bzr --lsprof COMMAND' runs bzr under the lsprof
6494
profiler. (Denys Duchier)
6496
* Faster commits by reading only the headers of affected weave files.
6499
* 'bzr add' now takes a --dry-run parameter which shows you what would be
6500
added, but doesn't actually add anything. (Michael Ellerman)
6502
* 'bzr add' now lists how many files were ignored per glob. add --verbose
6503
lists the specific files. (Aaron Bentley)
6505
* 'bzr missing' now supports displaying changes in diverged trees and can
6506
be limited to show what either end of the comparison is missing.
6507
(Aaron Bently, with a little prompting from Daniel Silverstone)
6511
* SFTP can walk up to the root path without index errors. (Robert Collins)
6513
* Fix bugs in running bzr with 'python -O'. (Martin Pool)
6515
* Error when run with -OO
6517
* Fix bug in reporting http errors that don't have an http error code.
6520
* Handle more cases of pipe errors in display commands
6522
* Change status to 3 for all errors
6524
* Files that are added and unlinked before committing are completely
6525
ignored by diff and status
6527
* Stores with some compressed texts and some uncompressed texts are now
6528
able to be used. (John A Meinel)
6530
* Fix for bzr pull failing sometimes under windows
6532
* Fix for sftp transport under windows when using interactive auth
6534
* Show files which are both renamed and modified as such in 'bzr
6535
status' output. (Daniel Silverstone, #4503)
6537
* Make annotate cope better with revisions committed without a valid
6538
email address. (Marien Zwart)
6540
* Fix representation of tab characters in commit messages.
6543
* List of plugin directories in ``BZR_PLUGIN_PATH`` environment variable is
6544
now parsed properly under Windows. (Alexander Belchenko)
6546
* Show number of revisions pushed/pulled/merged. (Robey Pointer)
6548
* Keep a cached copy of the basis inventory to speed up operations
6549
that need to refer to it. (Johan Rydberg, Martin Pool)
6551
* Fix bugs in bzr status display of non-ascii characters.
6554
* Remove Makefile.in from default ignore list.
6555
(Tollef Fog Heen, Martin Pool, #6413)
6557
* Fix failure in 'bzr added'. (Nathan McCallum, Martin Pool)
6561
* Fix selftest asking for passwords when there are no SFTP keys.
6562
(Robey Pointer, Jelmer Vernooij)
6564
* Fix selftest run with 'python -O'. (Martin Pool)
6566
* Fix HTTP tests under Windows. (John Arbash Meinel)
6568
* Make tests work even if HOME is not set (Aaron Bentley)
6570
* Updated ``build_tree`` to use fixed line-endings for tests which read
6571
the file cotents and compare. Make some tests use this to pass under
6572
Windows. (John Arbash Meinel)
6574
* Skip stat and symlink tests under Windows. (Alexander Belchenko)
6576
* Delay in selftest/testhashcash is now issued under win32 and Cygwin.
6577
(John Arbash Meinel)
6579
* Use terminal width to align verbose test output. (Martin Pool)
6581
* Blackbox tests are maintained within the bzrlib.tests.blackbox directory.
6582
If adding a new test script please add that to
6583
``bzrlib.tests.blackbox.__init__``. (Robert Collins)
6585
* Much better error message if one of the test suites can't be
6586
imported. (Martin Pool)
6588
* Make check now runs the test suite twice - once with the default locale,
6589
and once with all locales forced to C, to expose bugs. This is not
6590
trivially done within python, so for now its only triggered by running
6591
Make check. Integrators and packagers who wish to check for full
6592
platform support should run 'make check' to test the source.
6595
* Tests can now run TestSkipped if they can't execute for any reason.
6596
(Martin Pool) (NB: TestSkipped should only be raised for correctable
6597
reasons - see the wiki spec ImprovingBzrTestSuite).
6599
* Test sftp with relative, absolute-in-homedir and absolute-not-in-homedir
6600
paths for the transport tests. Introduce blackbox remote sftp tests that
6601
test the same permutations. (Robert Collins, Robey Pointer)
6603
* Transport implementation tests are now independent of the local file
6604
system, which allows tests for esoteric transports, and for features
6605
not available in the local file system. They also repeat for variations
6606
on the URL scheme that can introduce issues in the transport code,
6607
see bzrlib.transport.TransportTestProviderAdapter() for this.
6610
* ``TestCase.build_tree`` uses the transport interface to build trees,
6611
pass in a transport parameter to give it an existing connection.
6616
* WorkingTree.pull has been split across Branch and WorkingTree,
6617
to allow Branch only pulls. (Robert Collins)
6619
* ``commands.display_command`` now returns the result of the decorated
6620
function. (Robert Collins)
6622
* LocationConfig now has a ``set_user_option(key, value)`` call to save
6623
a setting in its matching location section (a new one is created
6624
if needed). (Robert Collins)
6626
* Branch has two new methods, ``get_push_location`` and
6627
``set_push_location`` to respectively, get and set the push location.
6630
* ``commands.register_command`` now takes an optional flag to signal that
6631
the registrant is planning to decorate an existing command. When
6632
given multiple plugins registering a command is not an error, and
6633
the original command class (whether built in or a plugin based one) is
6634
returned to the caller. There is a new error 'MustUseDecorated' for
6635
signalling when a wrapping command should switch to the original
6636
version. (Robert Collins)
6638
* Some option parsing errors will raise 'BzrOptionError', allowing
6639
granular detection for decorating commands. (Robert Collins).
6641
* ``Branch.read_working_inventory`` has moved to
6642
``WorkingTree.read_working_inventory``. This necessitated changes to
6643
``Branch.get_root_id``, and a move of ``Branch.set_inventory`` to
6644
WorkingTree as well. To make it clear that a WorkingTree cannot always
6645
be obtained ``Branch.working_tree()`` will raise
6646
``errors.NoWorkingTree`` if one cannot be obtained. (Robert Collins)
6648
* All pending merges operations from Branch are now on WorkingTree.
6651
* The follow operations from Branch have moved to WorkingTree::
6661
* ``bzrlib.add.smart_add_branch`` is now ``smart_add_tree``. (Robert Collins)
6663
* New "rio" serialization format, similar to rfc-822. (Martin Pool)
6665
* Rename selftests to ``bzrlib.tests.test_foo``. (John A Meinel, Martin
6668
* ``bzrlib.plugin.all_plugins`` has been changed from an attribute to a
6669
query method. (Robert Collins)
6671
* New options to read only the table-of-contents of a weave.
6674
* Raise NoSuchFile when someone tries to add a non-existant file.
6677
* Simplify handling of DivergedBranches in ``cmd_pull()``.
6680
* Branch.controlfile* logic has moved to lockablefiles.LockableFiles, which
6681
is exposed as ``Branch().control_files``. Also this has been altered with the
6682
controlfile pre/suffix replaced by simple method names like 'get' and
6683
'put'. (Aaron Bentley, Robert Collins).
6685
* Deprecated functions and methods can now be marked as such using the
6686
``bzrlib.symbol_versioning`` module. Marked method have their docstring
6687
updated and will issue a DeprecationWarning using the warnings module
6688
when they are used. (Robert Collins)
6690
* ``bzrlib.osutils.safe_unicode`` now exists to provide parameter coercion
6691
for functions that need unicode strings. (Robert Collins)
6698
* pull now takes --verbose to show you what revisions are added or removed
6701
* merge now takes a --show-base option to include the base text in
6705
* The config files are now read using ConfigObj, so '=' should be used as
6706
a separator, not ':'.
6709
* New 'bzr commit --strict' option refuses to commit if there are
6710
any unknown files in the tree. To commit, make sure all files are
6711
either ignored, added, or deleted. (Michael Ellerman)
6713
* The config directory is now ~/.bazaar, and there is a single file
6714
~/.bazaar/bazaar.conf storing email, editor and other preferences.
6717
* 'bzr add' no longer takes a --verbose option, and a --quiet option
6718
has been added that suppresses all output.
6720
* Improved zsh completion support in contrib/zsh, from Clint
6723
* Builtin 'bzr annotate' command, by Martin Pool with improvements from
6724
Goffredo Baroncelli.
6726
* 'bzr check' now accepts -v for verbose reporting, and checks for
6727
ghosts in the branch. (Robert Collins)
6729
* New command 're-sign' which will regenerate the gpg signature for
6730
a revision. (Robert Collins)
6732
* If you set ``check_signatures=require`` for a path in
6733
``~/.bazaar/branches.conf`` then bzr will invoke your
6734
``gpg_signing_command`` (defaults to gpg) and record a digital signature
6735
of your commit. (Robert Collins)
6737
* New sftp transport, based on Paramiko. (Robey Pointer)
6739
* 'bzr pull' now accepts '--clobber' which will discard local changes
6740
and make this branch identical to the source branch. (Robert Collins)
6742
* Just give a quieter warning if a plugin can't be loaded, and
6743
put the details in .bzr.log. (Martin Pool)
6745
* 'bzr branch' will now set the branch-name to the last component of the
6746
output directory, if one was supplied.
6748
* If the option ``post_commit`` is set to one (or more) python function
6749
names (must be in the bzrlib namespace), then they will be invoked
6750
after the commit has completed, with the branch and ``revision_id`` as
6751
parameters. (Robert Collins)
6753
* Merge now has a retcode of 1 when conflicts occur. (Robert Collins)
6755
* --merge-type weave is now supported for file contents. Tree-shape
6756
changes are still three-way based. (Martin Pool, Aaron Bentley)
6758
* 'bzr check' allows the first revision on revision-history to have
6759
parents - something that is expected for cheap checkouts, and occurs
6760
when conversions from baz do not have all history. (Robert Collins).
6762
* 'bzr merge' can now graft unrelated trees together, if your specify
6763
0 as a base. (Aaron Bentley)
6765
* 'bzr commit branch' and 'bzr commit branch/file1 branch/file2' now work
6768
* Add '.sconsign*' to default ignore list. (Alexander Belchenko)
6770
* 'bzr merge --reprocess' minimizes conflicts
6774
* The 'bzr selftest --pattern' option for has been removed, now
6775
test specifiers on the command line can be simple strings, or
6776
regexps, or both. (Robert Collins)
6778
* Passing -v to selftest will now show the time each test took to
6779
complete, which will aid in analysing performance regressions and
6780
related questions. (Robert Collins)
6782
* 'bzr selftest' runs all tests, even if one fails, unless '--one'
6783
is given. (Martin Pool)
6785
* There is a new method for TestCaseInTempDir, assertFileEqual, which
6786
will check that a given content is equal to the content of the named
6787
file. (Robert Collins)
6789
* Fix test suite's habit of leaving many temporary log files in $TMPDIR.
6794
* New 'testament' command and concept for making gpg-signatures
6795
of revisions that are not tied to a particular internal
6796
representation. (Martin Pool).
6798
* Per-revision properties ('revprops') as key-value associated
6799
strings on each revision created when the revision is committed.
6800
Intended mainly for the use of external tools. (Martin Pool).
6802
* Config options have moved from bzrlib.osutils to bzrlib.config.
6805
* Improved command line option definitions allowing explanations
6806
for individual options, among other things. Contributed by
6809
* Config options have moved from bzrlib.osutils to bzrlib.config.
6810
Configuration is now done via the config.Config interface:
6811
Depending on whether you have a Branch, a Location or no information
6812
available, construct a ``*Config``, and use its ``signature_checking``,
6813
``username`` and ``user_email`` methods. (Robert Collins)
6815
* Plugins are now loaded under bzrlib.plugins, not bzrlib.plugin, and
6816
they are made available for other plugins to use. You should not
6817
import other plugins during the ``__init__`` of your plugin though, as
6818
no ordering is guaranteed, and the plugins directory is not on the
6819
python path. (Robert Collins)
6821
* Branch.relpath has been moved to WorkingTree.relpath. WorkingTree no
6822
no longer takes an inventory, rather it takes an option branch
6823
parameter, and if None is given will open the branch at basedir
6824
implicitly. (Robert Collins)
6826
* Cleaner exception structure and error reporting. Suggested by
6827
Scott James Remnant. (Martin Pool)
6829
* Branch.remove has been moved to WorkingTree, which has also gained
6830
``lock_read``, ``lock_write`` and ``unlock`` methods for convenience.
6833
* Two decorators, ``needs_read_lock`` and ``needs_write_lock`` have been
6834
added to the branch module. Use these to cause a function to run in a
6835
read or write lock respectively. (Robert Collins)
6837
* ``Branch.open_containing`` now returns a tuple (Branch, relative-path),
6838
which allows direct access to the common case of 'get me this file
6839
from its branch'. (Robert Collins)
6841
* Transports can register using ``register_lazy_transport``, and they
6842
will be loaded when first used. (Martin Pool)
6844
* 'pull' has been factored out of the command as ``WorkingTree.pull()``.
6845
A new option to WorkingTree.pull has been added, clobber, which will
6846
ignore diverged history and pull anyway.
6849
* config.Config has a ``get_user_option`` call that accepts an option name.
6850
This will be looked up in branches.conf and bazaar.conf as normal.
6851
It is intended that this be used by plugins to support options -
6852
options of built in programs should have specific methods on the config.
6855
* ``merge.merge_inner`` now has tempdir as an optional parameter.
6858
* Tree.kind is not recorded at the top level of the hierarchy, as it was
6859
missing on EmptyTree, leading to a bug with merge on EmptyTrees.
6862
* ``WorkingTree.__del__`` has been removed, it was non deterministic and not
6863
doing what it was intended to. See ``WorkingTree.__init__`` for a comment
6864
about future directions. (Robert Collins/Martin Pool)
6866
* bzrlib.transport.http has been modified so that only 404 urllib errors
6867
are returned as NoSuchFile. Other exceptions will propogate as normal.
6868
This allows debuging of actual errors. (Robert Collins)
6870
* bzrlib.transport.Transport now accepts *ONLY* url escaped relative paths
6871
to apis like 'put', 'get' and 'has'. This is to provide consistent
6872
behaviour - it operates on url's only. (Robert Collins)
6874
* Transports can register using ``register_lazy_transport``, and they
6875
will be loaded when first used. (Martin Pool)
6877
* ``merge_flex`` no longer calls ``conflict_handler.finalize()``, instead that
6878
is called by ``merge_inner``. This is so that the conflict count can be
6879
retrieved (and potentially manipulated) before returning to the caller
6880
of ``merge_inner``. Likewise 'merge' now returns the conflict count to the
6881
caller. (Robert Collins)
6883
* ``revision.revision_graph`` can handle having only partial history for
6884
a revision - that is no revisions in the graph with no parents.
6887
* New ``builtins.branch_files`` uses the standard ``file_list`` rules to
6888
produce a branch and a list of paths, relative to that branch
6891
* New TestCase.addCleanup facility.
6893
* New ``bzrlib.version_info`` tuple (similar to ``sys.version_info``),
6894
which can be used by programs importing bzrlib.
6898
* Better handling of branches in directories with non-ascii names.
6899
(Joel Rosdahl, Panagiotis Papadakos)
6901
* Upgrades of trees with no commits will not fail due to accessing
6902
[-1] in the revision-history. (Andres Salomon)
6905
bzr 0.1.1 2005-10-12
6906
--------------------
6910
* Fix problem in pulling over http from machines that do not
6911
allow directories to be listed.
6913
* Avoid harmless warning about invalid hash cache after
6914
upgrading branch format.
6918
* Avoid some unnecessary http operations in branch and pull.
6926
* 'bzr branch' over http initially gives a very high estimate
6927
of completion time but it should fall as the first few
6928
revisions are pulled in. branch is still slow on
6929
high-latency connections.
6933
* bzr-man.py has been updated to work again. Contributed by
6936
* Locking is now done with fcntl.lockf which works with NFS
6937
file systems. Contributed by Harald Meland.
6939
* When a merge encounters a file that has been deleted on
6940
one side and modified on the other, the old contents are
6941
written out to foo.BASE and foo.SIDE, where SIDE is this
6942
or OTHER. Contributed by Aaron Bentley.
6944
* Export was choosing incorrect file paths for the content of
6945
the tarball, this has been fixed by Aaron Bentley.
6947
* Commit will no longer commit without a log message, an
6948
error is returned instead. Contributed by Jelmer Vernooij.
6950
* If you commit a specific file in a sub directory, any of its
6951
parent directories that are added but not listed will be
6952
automatically included. Suggested by Michael Ellerman.
6954
* bzr commit and upgrade did not correctly record new revisions
6955
for files with only a change to their executable status.
6956
bzr will correct this when it encounters it. Fixed by
6959
* HTTP tests now force off the use of ``http_proxy`` for the duration.
6960
Contributed by Gustavo Niemeyer.
6962
* Fix problems in merging weave-based branches that have
6963
different partial views of history.
6965
* Symlink support: working with symlinks when not in the root of a
6966
bzr tree was broken, patch from Scott James Remnant.
6970
* 'branch' now accepts a --basis parameter which will take advantage
6971
of local history when making a new branch. This allows faster
6972
branching of remote branches. Contributed by Aaron Bentley.
6974
* New tree format based on weave files, called version 5.
6975
Existing branches can be upgraded to this format using
6978
* Symlinks are now versionable. Initial patch by
6979
Erik Toubro Nielsen, updated to head by Robert Collins.
6981
* Executable bits are tracked on files. Patch from Gustavo
6984
* 'bzr status' now shows unknown files inside a selected directory.
6985
Patch from Heikki Paajanen.
6987
* Merge conflicts are recorded in .bzr. Two new commands 'conflicts'
6988
and 'resolve' have needed added, which list and remove those
6989
merge conflicts respectively. A conflicted tree cannot be committed
6990
in. Contributed by Aaron Bentley.
6992
* 'rm' is now an alias for 'remove'.
6994
* Stores now split out their content in a single byte prefixed hash,
6995
dropping the density of files per directory by 256. Contributed by
6998
* 'bzr diff -r branch:URL' will now perform a diff between two branches.
6999
Contributed by Robert Collins.
7001
* 'bzr log' with the default formatter will show merged revisions,
7002
indented to the right. Initial implementation contributed by Gustavo
7003
Niemeyer, made incremental by Robert Collins.
7008
* Test case failures have the exception printed after the log
7009
for your viewing pleasure.
7011
* InventoryEntry is now an abstract base class, use one of the
7012
concrete InventoryDirectory etc classes instead.
7014
* Branch raises an UnsupportedFormatError when it detects a
7015
bzr branch it cannot understand. This allows for precise
7016
handling of such circumstances.
7018
* Remove RevisionReference class; ``Revision.parent_ids`` is now simply a
7019
list of their ids and ``parent_sha1s`` is a list of their corresponding
7020
sha1s (for old branches only at the moment.)
7022
* New method-object style interface for Commit() and Fetch().
7024
* Renamed ``Branch.last_patch()`` to ``Branch.last_revision()``, since
7025
we call them revisions not patches.
7027
* Move ``copy_branch`` to ``bzrlib.clone.copy_branch``. The destination
7028
directory is created if it doesn't exist.
7030
* Inventories now identify the files which were present by
7031
giving the revision *of that file*.
7033
* Inventory and Revision XML contains a version identifier.
7034
This must be consistent with the overall branch version
7035
but allows for more flexibility in future upgrades.
7039
* Removed testsweet module so that tests can be run after
7040
bzr installed by 'bzr selftest'.
7042
* 'bzr selftest' command-line arguments can now be partial ids
7043
of tests to run, e.g. ``bzr selftest test_weave``
7046
bzr 0.0.9 2005-09-23
7047
--------------------
7051
* Fixed "branch -r" option.
7053
* Fix remote access to branches containing non-compressed history.
7056
* Better reliability of http server tests. (John Arbash-Meinel)
7058
* Merge graph maximum distance calculation fix. (Aaron Bentley)
7060
* Various minor bug in windows support have been fixed, largely in the
7061
test suite. Contributed by Alexander Belchenko.
7065
* Status now accepts a -r argument to give status between chosen
7066
revisions. Contributed by Heikki Paajanen.
7068
* Revision arguments no longer use +/-/= to control ranges, instead
7069
there is a 'before' namespace, which limits the successive namespace.
7070
For example '$ bzr log -r date:yesterday..before:date:today' will
7071
select everything from yesterday and before today. Contributed by
7074
* There is now a bzr.bat file created by distutils when building on
7075
Windows. Contributed by Alexander Belchenko.
7079
* Removed uuid() as it was unused.
7081
* Improved 'fetch' code for pulling revisions from one branch into
7082
another (used by pull, merged, etc.)
7085
bzr 0.0.8 2005-09-20
7086
--------------------
7090
* Adding a file whose parent directory is not versioned will
7091
implicitly add the parent, and so on up to the root. This means
7092
you should never need to explictly add a directory, they'll just
7093
get added when you add a file in the directory. Contributed by
7096
* Ignore ``.DS_Store`` (contains Mac metadata) by default.
7099
* If you set ``BZR_EDITOR`` in the environment, it is checked in
7100
preference to EDITOR and the config file for the interactive commit
7101
editing program. Related to this is a bugfix where a missing program
7102
set in EDITOR would cause editing to fail, now the fallback program
7103
for the operating system is still tried.
7105
* Files that are not directories/symlinks/regular files will no longer
7106
cause bzr to fail, it will just ignore them by default. You cannot add
7107
them to the tree though - they are not versionable.
7112
* Refactor xml packing/unpacking.
7116
* Fixed 'bzr mv' by Ollie Rutherfurd.
7118
* Fixed strange error when trying to access a nonexistent http
7121
* Make sure that the hashcache gets written out if it can't be
7127
* Various Windows fixes from Ollie Rutherfurd.
7129
* Quieten warnings about locking; patch from Matt Lavin.
7132
bzr-0.0.7 2005-09-02
7133
--------------------
7137
* ``bzr shell-complete`` command contributed by Clint Adams to
7138
help with intelligent shell completion.
7140
* New expert command ``bzr find-merge-base`` for debugging merges.
7145
* Much better merge support.
7147
* merge3 conflicts are now reported with markers like '<<<<<<<'
7148
(seven characters) which is the same as CVS and pleases things
7154
* ``bzr upgrade`` no longer fails when trying to fix trees that
7155
mention revisions that are not present.
7157
* Fixed bugs in listing plugins from ``bzr plugins``.
7159
* Fix case of $EDITOR containing options for the editor.
7161
* Fix log -r refusing to show the last revision.
7162
(Patch from Goffredo Baroncelli.)
7167
* ``bzr log --show-ids`` shows the revision ids of all parents.
7169
* Externally provided commands on your $BZRPATH no longer need
7170
to recognize --bzr-usage to work properly, and can just handle
7176
* Changed trace messages to go through the standard logging
7177
framework, so that they can more easily be redirected by
7182
bzr-0.0.6 2005-08-18
7183
--------------------
7187
* Python plugins, automatically loaded from the directories on
7188
``BZR_PLUGIN_PATH`` or ``~/.bzr.conf/plugins`` by default.
7190
* New 'bzr mkdir' command.
7192
* Commit mesage is fetched from an editor if not given on the
7193
command line; patch from Torsten Marek.
7195
* ``bzr log -m FOO`` displays commits whose message matches regexp
7198
* ``bzr add`` with no arguments adds everything under the current directory.
7200
* ``bzr mv`` does move or rename depending on its arguments, like
7203
* ``bzr missing`` command shows a summary of the differences
7204
between two trees. (Merged from John Arbash-Meinel.)
7206
* An email address for commits to a particular tree can be
7207
specified by putting it into .bzr/email within a branch. (Based
7208
on a patch from Heikki Paajanen.)
7213
* Faster working tree operations.
7218
* 3rd-party modules shipped with bzr are copied within the bzrlib
7219
python package, so that they can be installed by the setup
7220
script without clashing with anything already existing on the
7221
system. (Contributed by Gustavo Niemeyer.)
7223
* Moved plugins directory to bzrlib/, so that there's a standard
7224
plugin directory which is not only installed with bzr itself but
7225
is also available when using bzr from the development tree.
7226
``BZR_PLUGIN_PATH`` and ``DEFAULT_PLUGIN_PATH`` are then added to the
7227
standard plugins directory.
7229
* When exporting to a tarball with ``bzr export --format tgz``, put
7230
everything under a top directory rather than dumping it into the
7231
current directory. This can be overridden with the ``--root``
7232
option. Patch from William Dodé and John Meinel.
7234
* New ``bzr upgrade`` command to upgrade the format of a branch,
7235
replacing ``bzr check --update``.
7237
* Files within store directories are no longer marked readonly on
7240
* Changed ``bzr log`` output to a more compact form suggested by
7241
John A Meinel. Old format is available with the ``--long`` or
7242
``-l`` option, patched by William Dodé.
7244
* By default the commit command refuses to record a revision with
7245
no changes unless the ``--unchanged`` option is given.
7247
* The ``--no-plugins``, ``--profile`` and ``--builtin`` command
7248
line options must come before the command name because they
7249
affect what commands are available; all other options must come
7250
after the command name because their interpretation depends on
7253
* ``branch`` and ``clone`` added as aliases for ``branch``.
7255
* Default log format is back to the long format; the compact one
7256
is available with ``--short``.
7261
* Fix bugs in committing only selected files or within a subdirectory.
7264
bzr-0.0.5 2005-06-15
7265
---------------------
7269
* ``bzr`` with no command now shows help rather than giving an
7270
error. Suggested by Michael Ellerman.
7272
* ``bzr status`` output format changed, because svn-style output
7273
doesn't really match the model of bzr. Now files are grouped by
7274
status and can be shown with their IDs. ``bzr status --all``
7275
shows all versioned files and unknown files but not ignored files.
7277
* ``bzr log`` runs from most-recent to least-recent, the reverse
7278
of the previous order. The previous behaviour can be obtained
7279
with the ``--forward`` option.
7281
* ``bzr inventory`` by default shows only filenames, and also ids
7282
if ``--show-ids`` is given, in which case the id is the second
7288
* New 'bzr whoami --email' option shows only the email component
7289
of the user identification, from Jo Vermeulen.
7291
* New ``bzr ignore PATTERN`` command.
7293
* Nicer error message for broken pipe, interrupt and similar
7294
conditions that don't indicate an internal error.
7296
* Add ``.*.sw[nop] .git .*.tmp *,v`` to default ignore patterns.
7298
* Per-branch locks keyed on ``.bzr/branch-lock``, available in
7299
either read or write mode.
7301
* New option ``bzr log --show-ids`` shows revision and file ids.
7303
* New usage ``bzr log FILENAME`` shows only revisions that
7306
* Changed format for describing changes in ``bzr log -v``.
7308
* New option ``bzr commit --file`` to take a message from a file,
7309
suggested by LarstiQ.
7311
* New syntax ``bzr status [FILE...]`` contributed by Bartosz
7312
Oler. File may be in a branch other than the working directory.
7314
* ``bzr log`` and ``bzr root`` can be given an http URL instead of
7317
* Commands can now be defined by external programs or scripts
7318
in a directory on $BZRPATH.
7320
* New "stat cache" avoids reading the contents of files if they
7321
haven't changed since the previous time.
7323
* If the Python interpreter is too old, try to find a better one
7324
or give an error. Based on a patch from Fredrik Lundh.
7326
* New optional parameter ``bzr info [BRANCH]``.
7328
* New form ``bzr commit SELECTED`` to commit only selected files.
7330
* New form ``bzr log -r FROM:TO`` shows changes in selected
7331
range; contributed by John A Meinel.
7333
* New option ``bzr diff --diff-options 'OPTS'`` allows passing
7334
options through to an external GNU diff.
7336
* New option ``bzr add --no-recurse`` to add a directory but not
7339
* ``bzr --version`` now shows more information if bzr is being run
7345
* Fixed diff format so that added and removed files will be
7346
handled properly by patch. Fix from Lalo Martins.
7348
* Various fixes for files whose names contain spaces or other
7354
* Converted black-box test suites from Bourne shell into Python;
7355
now run using ``./testbzr``. Various structural improvements to
7358
* testbzr by default runs the version of bzr found in the same
7359
directory as the tests, or the one given as the first parameter.
7361
* testbzr also runs the internal tests, so the only command
7362
required to check is just ``./testbzr``.
7364
* testbzr requires python2.4, but can be used to test bzr running
7365
under a different version.
7367
* Tests added for many other changes in this release.
7372
* Included ElementTree library upgraded to 1.2.6 by Fredrik Lundh.
7374
* Refactor command functions into Command objects based on HCT by
7375
Scott James Remnant.
7377
* Better help messages for many commands.
7379
* Expose ``bzrlib.open_tracefile()`` to start the tracefile; until
7380
this is called trace messages are just discarded.
7382
* New internal function ``find_touching_revisions()`` and hidden
7383
command touching-revisions trace the changes to a given file.
7385
* Simpler and faster ``compare_inventories()`` function.
7387
* ``bzrlib.open_tracefile()`` takes a tracefilename parameter.
7389
* New AtomicFile class.
7391
* New developer commands ``added``, ``modified``.
7396
* Cope on Windows on python2.3 by using the weaker random seed.
7397
2.4 is now only recommended.
7400
bzr-0.0.4 2005-04-22
7401
---------------------
7405
* 'bzr diff' optionally takes a list of files to diff. Still a bit
7406
basic. Patch from QuantumG.
7408
* More default ignore patterns.
7410
* New 'bzr log --verbose' shows a list of files changed in the
7411
changeset. Patch from Sebastian Cote.
7413
* Roll over ~/.bzr.log if it gets too large.
7415
* Command abbreviations 'ci', 'st', 'stat', '?' based on a patch
7418
* New 'bzr help commands' based on a patch from Denys Duchier.
7423
* User email is determined by looking at $BZREMAIL or ~/.bzr.email
7424
or $EMAIL. All are decoded by the locale preferred encoding.
7425
If none of these are present user@hostname is used. The host's
7426
fully-qualified name is not used because that tends to fail when
7427
there are DNS problems.
7429
* New 'bzr whoami' command instead of username user-email.
7434
* Make commit safe for hardlinked bzr trees.
7436
* Some Unicode/locale fixes.
7438
* Partial workaround for ``difflib.unified_diff`` not handling
7439
trailing newlines properly.
7444
* Allow docstrings for help to be in PEP0257 format. Patch from
7447
* More tests in test.sh.
7449
* Write profile data to a temporary file not into working
7450
directory and delete it when done.
7452
* Smaller .bzr.log with process ids.
7457
* Fix opening of ~/.bzr.log on Windows. Patch from Andrew
7460
* Some improvements in handling paths on Windows, based on a patch
7464
bzr-0.0.3 2005-04-06
7465
---------------------
7469
* New "directories" internal command lists versioned directories
7472
* Can now say "bzr commit --help".
7474
* New "rename" command to rename one file to a different name
