13
* Formats using Knit-based repository formats are now explicitly
14
marked as deprecated. (Ian Clatworthy)
16
* ``LRUCache(after_cleanup_size)`` was renamed to
17
``after_cleanup_count`` and the old name deprecated. The new name is
18
used for clarity, and to avoid confusion with
19
``LRUSizeCache(after_cleanup_size)``. (John Arbash Meinel)
23
* ``shelve --list`` can now be used to list shelved changes.
26
* Add support for `bzr tags -r 1..2`, that is we now support showing
27
tags applicable for a specified revision range. (Marius Kruger)
31
* Add trailing slash to directories in all output of ``bzr ls``, except
32
``bzr ls --null``. (Gordon P. Hemsley, #306424)
34
* ``bzr revision-info`` now supports a -d option to specify an
35
alternative branch. (Michael Hudson)
37
* Support the Claws mail client directly, rather than via
38
xdg-email. This prevents the display of an unnecessary modal
39
dialog in Claws, informing the user that a file has been
40
attached to the message, and works around bug #291847 in
41
xdg-utils which corrupts the destination address.
45
* Fix a problem with CIFS client/server lag on windows colliding with
46
an invariant-per-process algorithm for generating AtomicFile names
47
(Adrian Wilkins, #304023)
49
* Allow BzrDir implementation to implement backing up of
50
control directory. (#139691)
52
* Don't call iteritems on transport_list_registry, because it may
53
change during iteration. (Martin Pool, #277048)
55
* Don't make a broken branch when pushing an unstackable-format branch
56
that's in a stackable shared repository to a location with default
57
stack-on location. (Andrew Bennetts, #291046)
59
* Don't require embedding user in HTTP(S) URLs do use authentication.conf.
60
(Ben Jansen, Vincent Ladeuil, #300347)
62
* Fix compilation error in ``_dirstate_helpers_c`` on SunOS/Solaris.
65
* Fix SystemError in ``_patiencediff_c`` module by calling
66
PyErr_NoMemory() before returning NULL in PatienceSequenceMatcher_new.
67
(Andrew Bennetts, #303206)
69
* Give proper error message for diff with non-existent dotted revno.
70
(Marius Kruger, #301969)
72
* Handle EACCES (permission denied) errors when launching a message
73
editor, and emit warnings when a configured editor cannot be
74
started. (Andrew Bennetts)
76
* Preserve transport decorators while following redirections.
77
(Vincent Ladeuil, #245964, #270863)
79
* Provides a finer and more robust filter for accepted redirections.
80
(Vincent Ladeuil, #303959, #265070)
82
* ``shelve`` paths are now interpreted relative to the current working
85
* ``Transport.readv()`` defaults to not reading more than 100MB in a
86
single array. Further ``RemoteTransport.readv`` sets this to 5MB to
87
work better with how it splits its requests.
88
(John Arbash Meinel, #303538)
90
* Pack repositories are now able to reload the pack listing and retry
91
the current operation if another action causes the data to be
92
repacked. (John Arbash Meinel, #153786)
94
* ``pull -v`` now respects the log_format configuration variable.
97
* Use the short status format when the short format is used for log.
98
(Vincent Ladeuil, #87179)
102
* Improved the formats help topic to explain why multiple formats
103
exist and to provide guidelines in selecting one. Introduced
104
two new supporting help topics: current-formats and other-formats.
109
* New ``ForeignRepository`` base class, to help with foreign branch
110
support (e.g. svn). (Jelmer Vernooij)
112
* ``node_distances`` and ``select_farthest`` can no longer be imported
113
from ``bzrlib.graph``. They can still be imported from
114
``bzrlib.deprecated_graph``, which has been the preferred way to
115
import them since before 1.0. (Andrew Bennetts)
117
* The logic in commit now delegates inventory basis calculations to
118
the ``CommitBuilder`` object; this requires that the commit builder
119
in use has been updated to support the new ``recording_deletes`` and
120
``record_delete`` methods. (Robert Collins)
124
* ``bzr selftest`` now fails if new trailing white space is added to
125
the bazaar sources. It only checks changes not committed yet. This
126
means that PQM will now reject changes that introduce new trailing
127
whitespace. (Marius Kruger)
129
* Introduced new experimental formats called ``1.12-preview`` and
130
``1.12-preview-rich-root`` to enable testing of related pending
131
features, namely content filtering and filtered views.
136
* Added an ``InventoryEntry`` cache when deserializing inventories.
137
Can cut the time to iterate over multiple RevisionsTrees in half.
140
* Added ``bzrlib.fifo_cache.FIFOCache`` which is designed to have
141
minimal overhead versus using a plain dict for cache hits, at the
142
cost of not preserving the 'active' set as well as an ``LRUCache``.
145
* ``DirStateWorkingTree`` and ``DirStateWorkingTreeFormat`` added
146
as base classes of ``WorkingTree4`` and ``WorkingTreeFormat4``
147
respectively. (Ian Clatworthy)
149
* ``KnitVersionedFiles.get_record_stream()`` will now chose a
150
more optimal ordering when the keys are requested 'unordered'.
151
Previously the order was fully random, now the records should be
152
returned from each pack in turn, in forward I/O order.
155
* New method ``bzrlib.repository.Repository.add_inventory_by_delta``
156
allows adding an inventory via an inventory delta, which can be
157
more efficient for some repository types. (Robert Collins)
159
* Repository ``CommitBuilder`` objects can now accumulate an inventory
160
delta. To enable this functionality call ``builder.recording_deletes``
161
and additionally call ``builder.record_delete`` when a delete
162
against the basis occurs. (Robert Collins)
164
* The default http handler has been changed from pycurl to urllib.
165
The default is still pycurl for https connections. (The only
166
advantage of pycurl is that it checks ssl certificates.)
169
* ``VersionedFiles.get_record_stream()`` can now return objects with a
170
storage_kind of ``chunked``. This is a collection (list/tuple) of
171
strings. You can use ``osutils.chunks_to_lines()`` to turn them into
172
guaranteed 'lines' or you can use ``''.join(chunks)`` to turn it
173
into a fulltext. This allows for some very good memory savings when
174
asking for many texts that share ancestry, as the individual chunks
175
can be shared between versions of the file. (John Arbash Meinel)
182
Bazaar 1.10 has several performance improvements for copying revisions
183
(especially for small updates to large projects). There has also been a
184
significant amount of effort in polishing stacked branches. The commands
185
``shelve`` and ``unshelve`` have become core commands, with an improved
188
The only changes versus bzr-1.10rc1 are bugfixes for stacked branches.
192
* Don't set a pack write cache size from RepoFetcher, because the
193
cache is not coherent with reads and causes ShortReadvErrors.
194
This reverses the change that fixed #294479.
195
(Martin Pool, #303856)
197
* Properly handle when a revision can be inserted as a delta versus
198
when it needs to be expanded to a fulltext for stacked branches.
199
There was a bug involving merge revisions. As a method to help
200
prevent future difficulties, also make stacked fetches sort
201
topologically. (John Arbash Meinel, #304841)
204
bzr 1.10rc1 2008-11-28
205
----------------------
207
This release of Bazaar focuses on performance improvements when pushing
208
and pulling revisions, both locally and to remote networks. The popular
209
``shelve`` and ``unshelve`` commands, used to interactively revert and
210
restore work in progress, have been merged from bzrtools into the bzr
211
core. There are also bug fixes for portability, and for stacked branches.
215
* New ``commit_message_template`` hook that is called by the commit
216
code to generate a template commit message. (Jelmer Vernooij)
218
* New `shelve` and `unshelve` commands allow undoing and redoing changes.
223
* ``(Remote)Branch.copy_content_into`` no longer generates the full revision
224
history just to set the last revision info.
225
(Andrew Bennetts, John Arbash Meinel)
227
* Fetches between formats with different serializers (such as
228
pack-0.92-subtree and 1.9-rich-root) are faster now. This is due to
229
operating on batches of 100 revisions at time rather than
230
one-by-one. (Andrew Bennetts, John Arbash Meinel)
232
* Search index files corresponding to pack files we've already used
233
before searching others, because they are more likely to have the
234
keys we're looking for. This reduces the number of iix and tix
235
files accessed when pushing 1 new revision, for instance.
238
* Signatures to transfer are calculated more efficiently in
239
``item_keys_introduced_by``. (Andrew Bennetts, John Arbash Meinel)
241
* The generic fetch code can once again copy revisions and signatures
242
without extracting them completely to fulltexts and then serializing
243
them back down into byte strings. This is a significant performance
244
improvement when fetching from a stacked branch.
245
(John Arbash Meinel, #300289)
247
* When making a large readv() request over ``bzr+ssh``, break up the
248
request into more manageable chunks. Because the RPC is not yet able
249
to stream, this helps keep us from buffering too much information at
250
once. (John Arbash Meinel)
254
* Better message when the user needs to set their Launchpad ID.
255
(Martin Pool, #289148)
257
* ``bzr commit --local`` doesn't access the master branch anymore.
258
This fixes a regression introduced in 1.9. (Marius Kruger, #299313)
260
* Don't call the system ``chdir()`` with an empty path. Sun OS seems
261
to give an error in that case. Also, don't count on ``getcwd()``
262
being able to allocate a new buffer, which is a gnu extension.
263
(John Arbash Meinel, Martin Pool, Harry Hirsch, #297831)
265
* Don't crash when requesting log --forward <file> for a revision range
266
starting with a dotted revno.
267
(Vincent Ladeuil, #300055)
269
* Don't create text deltas spanning stacked repositories; this could
270
cause "Revision X not present in Y" when later accessing them.
271
(Martin Pool, #288751)
273
* Pack repositories are now able to reload the pack listing and retry
274
the current operation if another action causes the data to be
275
repacked. (John Arbash Meinel, #153786)
277
* PermissionDenied errors from smart servers no longer cause
278
"PermissionDenied: "None"" on the client.
279
(Andrew Bennetts, #299254)
281
* Pushing to a stacked pack repository now batches writes, the same
282
way writes are batched to ordinary pack repository. This makes
283
pushing to a stacked branch over the network much faster.
284
(Andrew Bennetts, #294479)
286
* TooManyConcurrentRequests no longer occur when a fetch fails and
287
tries to abort a write group. This allows the root cause (e.g. a
288
network interruption) to be reported. (Andrew Bennetts, #297014)
290
* RemoteRepository.get_parent_map now uses fallback repositories.
291
(Aaron Bentley, #297991?, #293679?)
295
* ``CommitBuilder`` now validates the strings it will be committing,
296
to ensure that they do not have characters that will not be properly
297
round-tripped. For now, it just checks for characters that are
298
invalid in the XML form. (John Arbash Meinel, #295161)
300
* Constructor parameters for NewPack (internal to pack repositories)
301
have changed incompatibly.
303
* ``Repository.abort_write_group`` now accepts an optional
304
``suppress_errors`` flag. Repository implementations that override
305
``abort_write_group`` will need to be updated to accept the new
306
argument. Subclasses that only override ``_abort_write_group``
307
don't need to change.
309
* Transport implementations must provide copy_tree_to_transport. A default
310
implementation is provided for Transport subclasses.
314
* ``bzr selftest`` now fails if no doctests are found in a module
315
that's expected to have them. (Martin Pool)
317
* Doctests now only report the first failure. (Martin Pool)
323
This release of Bazaar adds a new repository format, ``1.9``, with smaller
324
and more efficient index files. This format can be specified when
325
creating a new repository, or used to losslessly upgrade an existing
326
repository. bzr 1.9 also speeds most operations over the smart server
327
protocol, makes annotate faster, and uses less memory when making
328
checkouts or pulling large amounts of data.
332
* Fix "invalid property value 'branch-nick' for None" regression with
333
branches bound to svn branches. (Martin Pool, #293440)
335
* Fix SSL/https on Python2.6. (Vincent Ladeuil, #293054)
337
* ``SFTPTransport.readv()`` had a bug when requests were out-of-order.
338
This only triggers some-of-the-time on Knit format repositories.
339
(John Arbash Meinel, #293746)
342
bzr 1.9rc1 2008-10-31
343
---------------------
347
* New Branch hook ``transform_fallback_location`` allows a function to
348
be called when looking up the stacked source. (Michael Hudson)
350
* New repository formats ``1.9`` and ``1.9-rich-root``. These have all
351
the functionality of ``1.6``, but use the new btree indexes.
352
These indexes are both smaller and faster for access to historical
353
information. (John Arbash Meinel)
357
* ``BTreeIndex`` code now is able to prefetch extra pages to help tune
358
the tradeoff between bandwidth and latency. Should be tuned
359
appropriately to not impact commands which need minimal information,
360
but provide a significant boost to ones that need more context. Only
361
has a direct impact on the ``--development2`` format which uses
362
btree's for the indexes. (John Arbash Meinel)
364
* ``bzr dump-btree`` is a hidden command introduced to allow dumping
365
the contents of a compressed btree file. (John Arbash Meinel)
367
* ``bzr pack`` now tells the index builders to optimize for size. For
368
btree index repositories, this can save 25% of the index size
369
(mostly in the text indexes). (John Arbash Meinel)
371
* ``bzr push`` to an existing branch or repository on a smart server
372
is faster, due to Bazaar making more use of the ``get_parent_map``
373
RPC when querying the remote branch's revision graph.
376
* default username for bzr+ssh and sftp can be configured in
377
authentication.conf. (Aaron Bentley)
379
* launchpad-login now provides a default username for bzr+ssh and sftp
380
URLs, allowing username-free URLs to work for everyone. (Aaron Bentley)
382
* ``lp:`` lookups no longer include usernames, making them shareable and
383
shorter. (Aaron Bentley)
385
* New ``PackRepository.autopack`` smart server RPC, which does
386
autopacking entirely on the server. This is much faster than
387
autopacking via plain file methods, which downloads a large amount
388
of pack data and then re-uploads the same pack data into a single
389
file. This fixes a major (although infrequent) cause of lengthy
390
delays when using a smart server. For example, pushing the 10th
391
revision to a repository with 9 packs now takes 44 RPCs rather than
392
179, and much less bandwidth too. This requires Bazaar 1.9 on both
393
the client and the server, otherwise the client will fallback to the
394
slower method. (Andrew Bennetts)
398
* A failure to load a plugin due to an IncompatibleAPI exception is
399
now correctly reported. (Robert Collins, #279451)
401
* API versioning support now has a multiple-version checking api
402
``require_any_api``. (Robert Collins, #279447)
404
* ``bzr branch --stacked`` from a smart server to a standalone branch
405
works again. This fixes a regression in 1.7 and 1.8.
406
(Andrew Bennetts, #270397)
408
* ``bzr co`` uses less memory. It used to unpack the entire WT into
409
memory before writing it to disk. This was a little bit faster, but
410
consumed lots of memory. (John Arbash Meinel, #269456)
412
* ``bzr missing --quiet`` no longer prints messages about whether
413
there are missing revisions. The exit code indicates whether there
414
were or not. (Martin Pool, #284748)
416
* Fixes to the ``annotate`` code. The fast-path which re-used the
417
stored deltas was accidentally disabled all the time, instead of
418
only when a branch was stacked. Second, the code would accidentally
419
re-use a delta even if it wasn't against the left-parent, this
420
could only happen if ``bzr reconcile`` decided that the parent
421
ordering was incorrect in the file graph. (John Arbash Meinel)
423
* "Permission denied" errors that occur when pushing a new branch to a
424
smart server no longer cause tracebacks. (Andrew Bennetts, #278673)
426
* Some compatibility fixes for building the extensions with MSVC and
427
for python2.4. (John Arbash Meinel, #277484)
429
* The index logic is now able to reload the list of pack files if and
430
index ends up disappearing. We still don't reload if the pack data
431
itself goes missing after checking the index. This bug appears as a
432
transient failure (file not found) when another process is writing
433
to the repository. (John Arbash Meinel, #153786)
435
* ``bzr switch`` and ``bzr bind`` will now update the branch nickname if
436
it was previously set. All checkouts will now refer to the bound branch
437
for a nickname if one was not explicitly set.
438
(Marius Kruger, #230903)
442
* Improved hook documentation. (Michael Ernst)
446
* commands.plugins_cmds is now a CommandRegistry, not a dict.
450
* New AuthenticationConfig.set_credentials method allows easy programmatic
451
configuration of authetication credentials.
457
Bazaar 1.8 includes several fixes that improve working tree performance,
458
display of revision logs, and merges. The bzr testsuite now passes on OS
459
X and Python 2.6, and almost completely passes on Windows. The
460
smartserver code has gained several bug fixes and performance
461
improvements, and can now run server-side hooks within an http server.
465
* Fix "Must end write group" error when another error occurs during
466
``bzr push``. (Andrew Bennetts, #230902)
470
* Some Pyrex versions require the WIN32 macro defined to compile on
471
that platform. (Alexander Belchenko, Martin Pool, #277481)
474
bzr 1.8rc1 2008-10-07
475
---------------------
479
* ``bzr log file`` has been changed. It now uses a different method
480
for determining which revisions to show as merging the changes to
481
the file. It now only shows revisions which merged the change
482
towards your mainline. This simplifies the output, makes it faster,
483
and reduces memory consumption. (John Arbash Meinel)
485
* ``bzr merge`` now defaults to having ``--reprocess`` set, whenever
486
``--show-base`` is not supplied. (John Arbash Meinel)
488
* ``bzr+http//`` will now optionally load plugins and write logs on the
489
server. (Marius Kruger)
491
* ``bzrlib._dirstate_helpers_c.pyx`` does not compile correctly with
492
Pyrex 0.9.4.1 (it generates C code which causes segfaults). We
493
explicitly blacklist that version of the compiler for that
494
extension. Packaged versions will include .c files created with
495
pyrex >= 0.9.6 so it doesn't effect releases, only users running
496
from the source tree. (John Arbash Meinel, #276868)
500
* bzr is now compatible with python-2.6. python-2.6 is not yet officially
501
supported (nor released, tests were conducted with the dev version of
502
python-2.6rc2), but all known problems have been fixed. Feedback
504
(Vincent Ladeuil, #269535)
508
* ``bzr annotate`` will now include uncommitted changes from the local
509
working tree by default. Such uncommitted changes are given the
510
revision number they would get if a commit was done, followed with a
511
? to indicate that its not actually known. (Robert Collins, #3439)
513
* ``bzr branch`` now accepts a ``--standalone`` option, which creates a
514
standalone branch regardless of the presence of shared repositories.
517
* ``bzr push`` is faster in the case there are no new revisions to
518
push. It is also faster if there are no tags in the local branch.
521
* File changes during a commit will update the tree stat cache.
524
* Location aliases can now accept a trailing path. (Micheal Hudson)
526
* New hooks ``Lock.hooks`` when LockDirs are acquired and released.
527
(Robert Collins, MartinPool)
529
* Switching in heavyweight checkouts uses the master branch's context, not
530
the checkout's context. (Adrian Wilkins)
532
* ``status`` on large trees is now faster, due to optimisations in the
533
walkdirs code. Of particular note, the walkdirs code now performs
534
a temporary ``chdir()`` while reading a single directory; if your
535
platform has non thread-local current working directories (and is
536
not windows which has its own implementation), this may introduce a
537
race condition during concurrent uses of bzrlib. The bzrlib CLI
538
will not encounter this as it is single threaded for working tree
539
operations. (Robert Collins)
541
* The C extensions now build on python 2.4 (Robert Collins, #271939)
543
* The ``-Dhpss`` debug flag now reports the number of smart server
544
calls per medium to stderr. This is in addition to the existing
545
detailed logging to the .bzr.log trace file. (Andrew Bennetts)
549
* Avoid random failures arising from misinterpreted ``errno`` values
550
in ``_readdir_pyx.read_dir``.
551
(Martin Pool, #279381)
553
* Branching from a shared repository on a smart server into a new
554
repository now preserves the repository format.
555
(Andrew Bennetts, #269214)
557
* ``bzr log`` now accepts a ``--change`` option.
558
(Vincent Ladeuil, #248427)
560
* ``bzr missing`` now accepts an ``--include-merges`` option.
561
(Vincent Ladeuil, #233817)
563
* Don't try to filter (internally) '.bzr' from the files to be deleted if
565
(Vincent Ladeuil, #272648)
567
* Fix '_in_buffer' AttributeError when using the -Dhpss debug flag.
570
* Fix TooManyConcurrentRequests errors caused by a connection failure
571
when doing ``bzr pull`` or ``bzr merge`` from a ``bzr+ssh`` URL.
572
(Andrew Bennetts, #246233)
574
* Fixed ``bzr st -r branch:PATH_TO_BRANCH`` where the other branch
575
is in a different repository than the current one.
576
(Lukáš Lalinský, #144421)
578
* Make the first line of the manpage preamble a comment again.
579
(David Futcher, #242106)
581
* Remove use of optional parameter in GSSAPI FTP support, since
582
it breaks newer versions of Python-Kerberos. (Jelmer Vernooij)
584
* The autopacking logic will now always create a single new pack from
585
all of the content which it deems is worth moving. This avoids the
586
'repack a single pack' bug and should result in better packing
587
overall. (John Arbash Meinel, #242510, #172644)
589
* Trivial documentation fix.
590
(John Arbash Meinel, #270471)
592
* ``bzr switch`` and ``bzr bind`` will now update the branch nickname if
593
it was previously set. All checkouts will now refer to the bound branch
594
for a nickname if one was not explicitly set.
595
(Marius Kruger, #230903)
599
* Explain revision/range identifiers. (Daniel Clemente)
603
* ``CommitBuilder.record_entry_contents`` returns one more element in
604
its result tuple - an optional file system hash for the hash cache
605
to use. (Robert Collins)
607
* ``dirstate.DirState.update_entry`` will now only calculate the sha1
608
of a file if it is likely to be needed in determining the output
609
of iter_changes. (Robert Collins)
611
* The PackRepository, RepositoryPackCollection, NewPack classes have a
612
slightly changed interface to support different index types; as a
613
result other users of these classes need to supply the index types
614
they want. (Robert Collins)
618
* ``bzrlib.tests.repository_implementations`` has been renamed to
619
``bzrlib.tests.per_repository`` so that we have a common structure
620
(and it is shorter). (John Arbash Meinel, #239343)
622
* ``LocalTransport.abspath()`` now returns a drive letter if the
623
transport has one, fixing numerous tests on Windows.
626
* PreviewTree is now tested via intertree_implementations.
629
* The full test suite is passing again on OSX.
630
(Guillermo Gonzalez, Vincent Ladeuil)
632
* The full test suite passes when run with ``-Eallow_debug``.
637
* A new hook, ``Branch.open``, has been added, which is called when
638
branch objects are opened. (Robert Collins)
640
* ``bzrlib.osutils._walkdirs_utf8`` has been refactored into common
641
tree walking, and modular directory listing code to aid future
642
performance optimisations and refactoring. (Robert Collins)
644
* ``bzrlib.trace.debug_memory`` can be used to get a quick memory dump
645
in the middle of processing. It only reports memory if
646
``/proc/PID/status`` is available. (John Arbash Meinel)
648
* New method ``RevisionSpec.as_tree`` for representing the revision
649
specifier as a revision tree object. (Lukáš Lalinský)
651
* New race-free method on MutableTree ``get_file_with_stat`` for use
652
when generating stat cache results. (Robert Collins)
654
* New win32utils.get_local_appdata_location() provides access to a local
655
directory for storing data. (Mark Hammond)
657
* To be compatible with python-2.6 a few new rules should be
658
observed. 'message' attribute can't be used anymore in exception
659
classes, 'sha' and 'md5' modules have been deprecated (use
660
osutils.[md5|sha]), object__init__ and object.__new__ don't accept
668
No changes from 1.7.1rc1.
671
bzr 1.7.1rc1 2008-09-24
672
-----------------------
674
This release just includes an update to how the merge algorithm handles
675
file paths when we encounter complex history.
679
* If we encounter a criss-cross in history, use information from
680
direct Least Common Ancestors to resolve inventory shape (locations
681
of files, adds, deletes, etc). This is similar in concept to using
682
``--lca`` for merging file texts, only applied to paths.
689
This release includes many bug fixes and a few performance and feature
690
improvements. ``bzr rm`` will now scan for missing files and remove them,
691
like how ``bzr add`` scans for unknown files and adds them. A bit more
692
polish has been applied to the stacking code. The b-tree indexing code has
693
been brought in, with an eye on using it in a future repository format.
694
There are only minor installer changes since bzr-1.7rc2.
698
* Some small updates to the win32 installer. Include localization
699
files found in plugins, and include the builtin distutils as part of
700
packaging qbzr. (Mark Hammond)
703
bzr 1.7rc2 2008-09-17
704
---------------------
706
A few bug fixes from 1.7rc1. The biggest change is a new
707
``RemoteBranch.get_stacked_on_url`` rpc. This allows clients that are
708
trying to access a Stacked branch over the smart protocol, to properly
709
connect to the stacked-on location.
713
* Branching from a shared repository on a smart server into a new
714
repository now preserves the repository format.
715
(Andrew Bennetts, #269214)
717
* Branching from a stacked branch via ``bzr+ssh`` can properly connect
718
to the stacked-on branch. (Martin Pool, #261315)
720
* ``bzr init`` no longer re-opens the BzrDir multiple times.
723
* Fix '_in_buffer' AttributeError when using the -Dhpss debug flag.
727
bzr 1.7rc1 2008-09-09
728
---------------------
730
This release candidate for bzr 1.7 has several bug fixes and a few
731
performance and feature improvements. ``bzr rm`` will now scan for
732
missing files and remove them, like how ``bzr add`` scans for unknown
733
files and adds them. A bit more polish has been applied to the stacking
734
code. The b-tree indexing code has been brought in, with an eye on using
735
it in a future repository format.
740
* ``bzr export`` can now export a subdirectory of a project.
743
* ``bzr remove-tree`` will now refuse to remove a tree with uncommitted
744
changes, unless the ``--force`` option is specified.
745
(Lukáš Lalinský, #74101)
747
* ``bzr rm`` will now scan for files that are missing and remove just
748
them automatically, much as ``bzr add`` scans for new files that
749
are not ignored and adds them automatically. (Robert Collins)
753
* Support for GSSAPI authentication when using FTP as documented in
754
RFC2228. (Jelmer Vernooij, #49623)
756
* Add support for IPv6 in the smart server. (Jelmer Vernooij, #165014)
760
* A url like ``log+file:///tmp`` will log all access to that Transport
761
to ``.bzr.log``, which may help in debugging or profiling.
764
* ``bzr branch`` and ``bzr push`` use the default stacking policy if the
765
branch format supports it. (Aaron Bentley)
767
* ``bzr init`` and ``bzr init-repo`` will now print out the same as
768
``bzr info`` if it completed successfully.
771
* ``bzr uncommit`` logs the old tip revision id, and displays how to
772
restore the branch to that tip using ``bzr pull``. This allows you
773
to recover if you realize you uncommitted the wrong thing.
776
* Fix problems in accessing stacked repositories over ``bzr://``.
777
(Martin Pool, #261315)
779
* ``SFTPTransport.readv()`` was accidentally using ``list += string``,
780
which 'works', but adds each character separately to the list,
781
rather than using ``list.append(string)``. Fixing this makes the
782
SFTP transport a little bit faster (~20%) and use a bit less memory.
785
* When reading index files, if we happen to read the whole file in a
786
single request treat it as a ``_buffer_all`` request. This happens
787
most often on small indexes over remote transports, where we default
788
to reading 64kB. It saves a round trip for each small index during
789
fetch operations. Also, if we have read more than 50% of an index
790
file, trigger a ``_buffer_all`` on the next request. This works
791
around some inefficiencies because reads don't fall neatly on page
792
boundaries, so we would ignore those bytes, but request them again
793
later. This could trigger a total read size of more than the whole
794
file. (John Arbash Meinel)
798
* ``bzr rm`` is now aliased to ``bzr del`` for the convenience of svn
799
users. (Robert Collins, #205416)
801
* Catch the infamous "select/poll returned error" which occurs when
802
pycurl try to send a body request to an HTTP/1.0 server which has
803
already refused to handle the request. (Vincent Ladeuil, #225020)
805
* Fix ``ObjectNotLocked`` errors when using various commands
806
(including ``bzr cat`` and ``bzr annotate``) in combination with a
807
smart server URL. (Andrew Bennetts, #237067)
809
* ``FTPTransport.stat()`` would return ``0000`` as the permission bits
810
for the containing ``.bzr/`` directory (it does not implement
811
permissions). This would cause us to set all subdirectories to
812
``0700`` and files to ``0600`` rather than leaving them unmodified.
813
Now we ignore ``0000`` as the permissions and assume they are
814
invalid. (John Arbash Meinel, #259855)
816
* Merging from a previously joined branch will no longer cause
817
a traceback. (Jelmer Vernooij, #203376)
819
* Pack operations on windows network shares will work even with large
820
files. (Robert Collins, #255656)
822
* Running ``bzr st PATH_TO_TREE`` will no longer suppress merge
823
status. Status is also about 7% faster on mozilla sized trees
824
when the path to the root of the tree has been given. Users of
825
the internal ``show_tree_status`` function should be aware that
826
the show_pending flag is now authoritative for showing pending
827
merges, as it was originally. (Robert Collins, #225204)
829
* Set valid default _param_name for Option so that ListOption can embed
830
'-' in names. (Vincent Ladeuil, #263249)
832
* Show proper error rather than traceback when an unknown revision
833
id is specified to ``bzr cat-revision``. (Jelmer Vernooij, #175569)
835
* Trailing text in the dirstate file could cause the C dirstate parser
836
to try to allocate an invalid amount of memory. We now properly
837
check and test for parsing a dirstate with invalid trailing data.
838
(John Arbash Meinel, #186014)
840
* Unexpected error responses from a smart server no longer cause the
841
client to traceback. (Andrew Bennetts, #263527)
843
* Use a Windows api function to get a Unicode host name, rather than
844
assuming the host name is ascii.
845
(Mark Hammond, John Arbash Meinel, #256550)
847
* ``WorkingTree4`` trees will now correctly report missing-and-new
848
paths in the output of ``iter_changes``. (Robert Collins)
852
* Updated developer documentation. (Martin Pool)
856
* Exporters now take 4 parameters. (Robert Collins)
858
* ``Tree.iter_changes`` will now return False for the content change
859
field when a file is missing in the basis tree and not present in
860
the target tree. Previously it returned True unconditionally.
863
* The deprecated ``Branch.abspath`` and unimplemented
864
``Branch.rename_one`` and ``Branch.move`` were removed. (Jelmer Vernooij)
866
* BzrDir.clone_on_transport implementations must now accept a stacked_on
867
parameter. (Aaron Bentley)
869
* BzrDir.cloning_metadir implementations must now take a require_stacking
870
parameter. (Aaron Bentley)
874
* ``addCleanup`` now takes ``*arguments`` and ``**keyword_arguments``
875
which are then passed to the cleanup callable as it is run. In
876
addition, addCleanup no longer requires that the callables passed to
877
it be unique. (Jonathan Lange)
879
* Fix some tests that fail on Windows because files are deleted while
883
* ``selftest``'s ``--starting-with`` option can now use predefined
884
prefixes so that one can say ``bzr selftest -s bp.loom`` instead of
885
``bzr selftest -s bzrlib.plugins.loom``. (Vincent Ladeuil)
887
* ``selftest``'s ``--starting-with`` option now accepts multiple values.
892
* A new plugin interface, ``bzrlib.log.log_adapters``, has been added.
893
This allows dynamic log output filtering by plugins.
896
* ``bzrlib.btree_index`` is now available, providing a b-tree index
897
layer. The design is memory conservative (limited memory cache),
898
faster to seek (approx 100 nodes per page, gives 100-way fan out),
899
and stores compressed pages allowing more keys per page.
900
(Robert Collins, John Arbash Meinel)
902
* ``bzrlib.diff.DiffTree.show_diff`` now skips changes where the kind
903
is unknown in both source and target.
904
(Robert Collins, Aaron Bentley)
906
* ``GraphIndexBuilder.add_node`` and ``BTreeBuilder`` have been
907
streamlined a bit. This should make creating large indexes faster.
908
(In benchmarking, it now takes less time to create a BTree index than
909
it takes to read the GraphIndex one.) (John Arbash Meinel)
911
* Mail clients for `bzr send` are now listed in a registry. This
912
allows plugins to add new clients by registering them with
913
``bzrlib.mail_client.mail_client_registry``. All of the built-in
914
clients now use this mechanism. (Neil Martinsen-Burrell)
920
A couple regressions were found in the 1.6 release. There was a
921
performance issue when using ``bzr+ssh`` to branch large repositories,
922
and some problems with stacking and ``rich-root`` capable repositories.
925
bzr 1.6.1rc2 2008-09-03
926
-----------------------
930
* Copying between ``rich-root`` and ``rich-root-pack`` (and vice
931
versa) was accidentally using the inter-model fetcher, instead of
932
recognizing that both were 'rich root' formats.
933
(John Arbash Meinel, #264321)
936
bzr 1.6.1rc1 2008-08-29
937
-----------------------
939
This release fixes a few regressions found in the 1.6 client. Fetching
940
changes was using an O(N^2) buffering algorithm, so for large projects it
941
would cause memory thrashing. There is also a specific problem with the
942
``--1.6-rich-root`` format, which prevented stacking on top of
943
``--rich-root-pack`` repositories, and could allow users to accidentally
944
fetch experimental data (``-subtree``) without representing it properly.
945
The ``--1.6-rich-root`` format has been deprecated and users are
946
recommended to upgrade to ``--1.6.1-rich-root`` immediately. Also we
947
re-introduced a workaround for users who have repositories with incorrect
948
nodes (not possible if you only used official releases).
949
I should also clarify that none of this is data loss level issues, but
950
still sufficient enough to warrant an updated release.
954
* ``RemoteTransport.readv()`` was being inefficient about how it
955
buffered the readv data and processed it. It would keep appending to
956
the same string (causing many copies) and then pop bytes out of the
957
start of the string (causing more copies).
958
With this patch "bzr+ssh://local" can improve dramatically,
959
especially for projects with large files.
962
* Revision texts were always meant to be stored as fulltexts. There
963
was a bug in a bzr.dev version that would accidentally create deltas
964
when copying from a Pack repo to a Knit repo. This has been fixed,
965
but to support those repositories, we know always request full texts
966
for Revision texts. (John Arbash Meinel, #261339)
968
* The previous ``--1.6-rich-root`` format used an incorrect xml
969
serializer, which would accidentally support fetching from a
970
repository that supported subtrees, even though the local one would
971
not. We deprecated that format, and introduced a new one that uses
972
the correct serializer ``--1.6.1-rich-root``.
973
(John Arbash Meinel, #262333)
979
Finally, the long awaited bzr 1.6 has been released. This release includes
980
new features like Stacked Branches, improved weave merge, and an updated
981
server protocol (now on v3) which will allow for better cross version
982
compatibility. With this release we have deprecated Knit format
983
repositories, and recommend that users upgrade them, we will continue to
984
support reading and writing them for the forseeable future, but we will
985
not be tuning them for performance as pack repositories have proven to be
986
better at scaling. This will also be the first release to bundle
987
TortoiseBzr in the standalone Windows installer.
990
bzr 1.6rc5 2008-08-19
991
---------------------
995
* Disable automatic detection of stacking based on a containing
996
directory of the target. It interacted badly with push, and needs a
997
bit more work to get the edges polished before it should happen
998
automatically. (John Arbash Meinel, #259275)
999
(This change was reverted when merged to bzr.dev)
1002
bzr 1.6rc4 2008-08-18
1003
---------------------
1007
* Fix a regression in knit => pack fetching. We had a logic
1008
inversion, causing the fetch to insert fulltexts in random order,
1009
rather than preserving deltas. (John Arbash Meinel, #256757)
1012
bzr 1.6rc3 2008-08-14
1013
---------------------
1017
* Disable reading ``.bzrrules`` as a per-branch rule preferences
1018
file. The feature was not quite ready for a full release.
1023
* Update the windows installer to bundle TortoiseBzr and ``qbzr``
1024
into the standalone installer. This will be the first official
1025
windows release that installs Tortoise by default.
1030
* Fix a regression in ``bzr+http`` support. There was a missing
1031
function (``_read_line``) that needed to be carried over from
1032
``bzr+ssh`` support. (Andrew Bennetts)
1034
* ``GraphIndex`` objects will internally read an entire index if more
1035
than 1/20th of their keyspace is requested in a single operation.
1036
This largely mitigates a performance regression in ``bzr log FILE``
1037
and completely corrects the performance regression in ``bzr log``.
1038
The regression was caused by removing an accomodation which had been
1039
supporting the index format in use. A newer index format is in
1040
development which is substantially faster. (Robert Collins)
1043
bzr 1.6rc2 2008-08-13
1044
---------------------
1046
This release candidate has a few minor bug fixes, and some regression
1051
* ``bzr upgrade`` on remote branches accessed via bzr:// and
1052
bzr+ssh:// now works. (Andrew Bennetts)
1054
* Change the ``get_format_description()`` strings for
1055
``RepositoryFormatKnitPack5`` et al to be single line messages.
1058
* Fix for a regression on Win32 where we would try to call
1059
``os.listdir()`` on a file and not catch the exception properly.
1060
(Windows raises a different exception.) This would manifest in
1061
places like ``bzr rm file`` or ``bzr switch``.
1062
(Mark Hammond, John Arbash Meinel)
1064
* ``Inventory.copy()`` was failing to set the revision property for
1065
the root entry. (Jelmer Vernooij)
1067
* sftp transport: added missing ``FileExists`` case to
1068
``_translate_io_exception`` (Christophe Troestler, #123475)
1070
* The help for ``bzr ignored`` now suggests ``bzr ls --ignored`` for
1071
scripting use. (Robert Collins, #3834)
1073
* The default ``annotate`` logic will now always assign the
1074
last-modified value of a line to one of the revisions that modified
1075
it, rather than a merge revision. This would happen when both sides
1076
claimed to have modified the line resulting in the same text. The
1077
choice is arbitrary but stable, so merges in different directions
1078
will get the same results. (John Arbash Meinel, #232188)
1081
bzr 1.6rc1 2008-08-06
1082
---------------------
1084
This release candidate for bzr 1.6 solidifies the new branch stacking
1085
feature. Bazaar now recommends that users upgrade all knit repositories,
1086
because later formats are much faster. However, we plan to continue read/write and
1087
upgrade support for knit repostories for the forseeable future. Several
1088
other bugs and performance issues were fixed.
1092
* Knit format repositories are deprecated and bzr will now emit
1093
warnings whenever it encounters one. Use ``bzr upgrade`` to upgrade
1094
knit repositories to pack format. (Andrew Bennetts)
1098
* ``bzr check`` can now be told which elements at a location it should
1099
check. (Daniel Watkins)
1101
* Commit now supports ``--exclude`` (or ``-x``) to exclude some files
1102
from the commit. (Robert Collins, #3117)
1104
* Fetching data between repositories that have the same model but no
1105
optimised fetcher will not reserialise all the revisions, increasing
1106
performance. (Robert Collins, John Arbash Meinel)
1108
* Give a more specific error when target branch is not reachable.
1111
* Implemented a custom ``walkdirs_utf8`` implementation for win32.
1112
This uses a pyrex extension to get direct access to the
1113
``FindFirstFileW`` style apis, rather than using ``listdir`` +
1114
``lstat``. Shows a very strong improvement in commands like
1115
``status`` and ``diff`` which have to iterate the working tree.
1116
Anywhere from 2x-6x faster depending on the size of the tree (bigger
1117
trees, bigger benefit.) (John Arbash Meinel)
1119
* New registry for log properties handles and the method in
1120
LongLogFormatter to display the custom properties returned by the
1121
registered handlers. (Guillermo Gonzalez, #162469)
1125
* Add more tests that stacking does not create deltas spanning
1126
physical repository boundaries.
1127
(Martin Pool, #252428)
1129
* Better message about incompatible repositories.
1130
(Martin Pool, #206258)
1132
* ``bzr branch --stacked`` ensures the destination branch format can
1133
support stacking, even if the origin does not.
1136
* ``bzr export`` no longer exports ``.bzrrules``.
1139
* ``bzr serve --directory=/`` now correctly allows the whole
1140
filesystem to be accessed on Windows, not just the root of the drive
1141
that Python is running from.
1142
(Adrian Wilkins, #240910)
1144
* Deleting directories by hand before running ``bzr rm`` will not
1145
cause subsequent errors in ``bzr st`` and ``bzr commit``.
1146
(Robert Collins, #150438)
1148
* Fix a test case that was failing if encoding wasn't UTF-8.
1149
(John Arbash Meinel, #247585)
1151
* Fix "no buffer space available" error when branching with the new
1152
smart server protocol to or from Windows.
1153
(Andrew Bennetts, #246180)
1155
* Fixed problem in branching from smart server.
1156
(#249256, Michael Hudson, Martin Pool)
1158
* Handle a file turning in to a directory in TreeTransform.
1159
(James Westby, #248448)
1163
* ``MutableTree.commit`` has an extra optional keywork parameter
1164
``exclude`` that will be unconditionally supplied by the command
1165
line UI - plugins that add tree formats may need an update.
1168
* The API minimum version for plugin compatibility has been raised to
1169
1.6 - there are significant changes throughout the code base.
1172
* The generic fetch code now uses three attributes on Repository objects
1173
to control fetch. The streams requested are controlled via :
1174
``_fetch_order`` and ``_fetch_uses_deltas``. Setting these
1175
appropriately allows different repository implementations to recieve
1176
data in their optimial form. If the ``_fetch_reconcile`` is set then
1177
a reconcile operation is triggered at the end of the fetch.
1180
* The ``put_on_disk`` and ``get_tar_item`` methods in
1181
``InventoryEntry`` were deprecated. (Ian Clatworthy)
1183
* ``Repository.is_shared`` doesn't take a read lock. It didn't
1184
need one in the first place (nobody cached the value, and
1185
``RemoteRepository`` wasn't taking one either). This saves a round
1186
trip when probing Pack repositories, as they read the ``pack-names``
1187
file when locked. And during probe, locking the repo isn't very
1188
useful. (John Arbash Meinel)
1192
* ``bzrlib.branchbuilder.BranchBuilder`` is now much more capable of
1193
putting together a real history without having to create a full
1194
WorkingTree. It is recommended that tests that are not directly
1195
testing the WorkingTree use BranchBuilder instead. See
1196
``BranchBuilder.build_snapshot`` or
1197
``TestCaseWithMemoryTree.make_branch_builder``. (John Arbash Meinel)
1199
* ``bzrlib.builtins.internal_tree_files`` broken into two giving a new
1200
helper ``safe_relpath_files`` - used by the new ``exclude``
1201
parameter to commit. (Robert Collins)
1203
* Make it easier to introduce new WorkingTree formats.
1206
* The code for exporting trees was refactored not to use the
1207
deprecated ``InventoryEntry`` methods. (Ian Clatworthy)
1209
* RuleSearchers return () instead of [] now when there are no matches.
1213
bzr 1.6beta3 2008-07-17
1214
-----------------------
1216
This release adds a new 'stacked branches' feature allowing branches to
1217
share storage without being in the same repository or on the same machine.
1218
(See the user guide for more details.) It also adds a new hook, improved
1219
weaves, aliases for related locations, faster bzr+ssh push, and several
1224
* New ``pre_change_branch_tip`` hook that is called before the
1225
branch tip is moved, while the branch is write-locked. See the User
1226
Reference for signature details. (Andrew Bennetts)
1228
* Rule-based preferences can now be defined for selected files in
1229
selected branches, allowing commands and plugins to provide
1230
custom behaviour for files matching defined patterns.
1231
See ``Rule-based preferences`` (part of ``Configuring Bazaar``)
1232
in the User Guide and ``bzr help rules`` for more information.
1235
* Sites may suggest a branch to stack new branches on. (Aaron Bentley)
1237
* Stacked branches are now supported. See ``bzr help branch`` and
1238
``bzr help push``. Branches must be in the ``development1`` format
1239
to stack, though the stacked-on branch can be of any format.
1244
* ``bzr export --format=tgz --root=NAME -`` to export a gzipped tarball
1245
to stdout; also ``tar`` and ``tbz2``.
1248
* ``bzr (re)merge --weave`` will now use a standard Weave algorithm,
1249
rather than the annotation-based merge it was using. It does so by
1250
building up a Weave of the important texts, without needing to build
1251
the full ancestry. (John Arbash Meinel, #238895)
1253
* ``bzr send`` documents and better supports ``emacsclient`` (proper
1254
escaping of mail headers and handling of the MUA Mew).
1255
(Christophe Troestler)
1257
* Remembered locations can be specified by aliases, e.g. :parent, :public,
1258
:submit. (Aaron Bentley)
1260
* The smart protocol now has improved support for setting branches'
1261
revision info directly. This makes operations like push
1262
faster. The new request method name is
1263
``Branch.set_last_revision_ex``. (Andrew Bennetts)
1267
* Bazaar is now able to be a client to the web server of IIS 6 and 7.
1268
The broken implementations of RFC822 in Python and RFC2046 in IIS
1269
combined with boundary-line checking in Bazaar previously made this
1270
impossible. (NB, IIS 5 does not suffer from this problem).
1271
(Adrian Wilkins, #247585)
1273
* ``bzr log --long`` with a ghost in your mainline now handles that
1274
ghost properly. (John Arbash Meinel, #243536)
1276
* ``check`` handles the split-up .bzr layout correctly, so no longer
1277
requires a branch to be present.
1278
(Daniel Watkins, #64783)
1280
* Clearer message about how to set the PYTHONPATH if bzrlib can't be
1282
(Martin Pool, #205230)
1284
* Errors about missing libraries are now shown without a traceback,
1285
and with a suggestion to install the library. The full traceback is
1286
still in ``.bzr.log`` and can be shown with ``-Derror``.
1287
(Martin Pool, #240161)
1289
* Fetch from a stacked branch copies all required data.
1290
(Aaron Bentley, #248506)
1292
* Handle urls such as ftp://user@host.com@www.host.com where the user
1294
(Neil Martinsen-Burrell, #228058)
1296
* ``needs_read_lock`` and ``needs_write_lock`` now suppress an error during
1297
``unlock`` if there was an error in the original function. This helps
1298
most when there is a failure with a smart server action, since often the
1299
connection closes and we cannot unlock.
1300
(Andrew Bennetts, John Arbash Meinel, #125784)
1302
* Obsolete hidden command ``bzr fetch`` removed.
1303
(Martin Pool, #172870)
1305
* Raise the correct exception when doing ``-rbefore:0`` or ``-c0``.
1306
(John Arbash Meinel, #239933)
1308
* You can now compare file revisions in Windows diff programs from
1310
(Matt McClure, #209281)
1312
* revision_history now tolerates mainline ghosts for Branch format 6.
1313
(Aaron Bentley, #235055)
1315
* Set locale from environment for third party libs.
1316
(Martin von Gagern, #128496)
1320
* Added *Using stacked branches* to the User Guide.
1323
* Updated developer documentation.
1328
* ``-Dmemory`` will cause /proc/PID/status to be catted before bzr
1329
exits, allowing low-key analysis of peak memory use. (Robert Collins)
1331
* ``TestCaseWithTransport.make_branch_and_tree`` tries harder to return
1332
a tree with a ``branch`` attribute of the right format. This was
1333
preventing some ``RemoteBranch`` tests from actually running with
1334
``RemoteBranch`` instances. (Andrew Bennetts)
1338
* Removed ``Repository.text_store``, ``control_store``, etc. Instead,
1339
there are new attributes ``texts, inventories, revisions,
1340
signatures``, each of which is a ``VersionedFiles``. See the
1341
Repository docstring for more details.
1344
* ``Branch.pull`` now accepts an ``_override_hook_target`` optional
1345
parameter. If you have a subclass of ``Branch`` that overrides
1346
``pull`` then you should add this parameter. (Andrew Bennetts)
1348
* ``bzrlib.check.check()`` has been deprecated in favour of the more
1349
aptly-named ``bzrlib.check.check_branch()``.
1352
* ``Tree.print_file`` and ``Repository.print_file`` are deprecated.
1353
These methods are bad APIs because they write directly to sys.stdout.
1354
bzrlib does not use them internally, and there are no direct tests
1355
for them. (Alexander Belchenko)
1359
* ``cat`` command no longer uses ``Tree.print_file()`` internally.
1360
(Alexander Belchenko)
1362
* New class method ``BzrDir.open_containing_tree_branch_or_repository``
1363
which eases the discovery of the tree, the branch and the repository
1364
containing a given location.
1367
* New ``versionedfile.KeyMapper`` interface to abstract out the access to
1368
underlying .knit/.kndx etc files in repositories with partitioned
1369
storage. (Robert Collins)
1371
* Obsolete developer-use command ``weave-join`` has been removed.
1374
* ``RemoteToOtherFetcher`` and ``get_data_stream_for_search`` removed,
1375
to support new ``VersionedFiles`` layering.
1379
bzr 1.6beta2 2008-06-10
1380
-----------------------
1382
This release contains further progress towards our 1.6 goals of shallow
1383
repositories, and contains a fix for some user-affecting bugs in the
1384
repository layer. Building working trees during checkout and branch is
1389
* Avoid KnitCorrupt error extracting inventories from some repositories.
1390
(The data is not corrupt; an internal check is detecting a problem
1391
reading from the repository.)
1392
(Martin Pool, Andrew Bennetts, Robert Collins, #234748)
1394
* ``bzr status`` was breaking if you merged the same revision twice.
1395
(John Arbash Meinel, #235407)
1397
* Fix infinite loop consuming 100% CPU when a connection is lost while
1398
reading a response body via the smart protocol v1 or v2.
1401
* Inserting a bundle which changes the contents of a file with no trailing
1402
end of line, causing a knit snapshot in a 'knits' repository will no longer
1403
cause KnitCorrupt. (Robert Collins)
1405
* ``RemoteBranch.pull`` needs to return the ``self._real_branch``'s
1406
pull result. It was instead just returning None, which breaks ``bzr
1407
pull``. (John Arbash Meinel, #238149)
1409
* Sanitize branch nick before using it as an attachment filename in
1410
``bzr send``. (Lukáš Lalinský, #210218)
1412
* Squash ``inv_entry.symlink_target`` to a plain string when
1413
generating DirState details. This prevents from getting a
1414
``UnicodeError`` when you have symlinks and non-ascii filenames.
1415
(John Arbash Meinel, #135320)
1419
* Added the 'alias' command to set/unset and display aliases. (Tim Penhey)
1421
* ``added``, ``modified``, and ``unknowns`` behaviour made consistent (all three
1422
now quote paths where required). Added ``--null`` option to ``added`` and
1423
``modified`` (for null-separated unknowns, use ``ls --unknown --null``)
1426
* Faster branching (1.09x) and lightweight checkouts (1.06x) on large trees.
1427
(Ian Clatworthy, Aaron Bentley)
1431
* Added *Bazaar Zen* section to the User Guide. (Ian Clatworthy)
1435
* Fix the test HTTPServer to be isolated from chdir calls made while it is
1436
running, allowing it to be used in blackbox tests. (Robert Collins)
1440
* ``WorkingTree.set_parent_(ids/trees)`` will now filter out revisions
1441
which are in the ancestry of other revisions. So if you merge the same
1442
tree twice, or merge an ancestor of an existing merge, it will only
1443
record the newest. (If you merge a descendent, it will replace its
1444
ancestor). (John Arbash Meinel, #235407)
1446
* ``RepositoryPolicy.__init__`` now requires stack_on and stack_on_pwd,
1447
through the derived classes do not. (Aaron Bentley)
1451
* ``bzrlib.bzrdir.BzrDir.sprout`` now accepts ``stacked`` to control
1452
creating stacked branches. (Robert Collins)
1454
* Knit record serialisation is now stricter on what it will accept, to
1455
guard against potential internal bugs, or broken input. (Robert Collins)
1458
bzr 1.6beta1 2008-06-02
1459
-----------------------
1462
Commands that work on the revision history such as push, pull, missing,
1463
uncommit and log are now substantially faster. This release adds a
1464
translation of some of the user documentation into Spanish. (Contributions of
1465
other translations would be very welcome.) Bazaar 1.6beta1 adds a new network
1466
protocol which is used by default and which allows for more efficient transfers
1467
and future extensions.
1470
NOTES WHEN UPGRADING:
1472
* There is a new version of the network protocol used for bzr://, bzr+ssh://
1473
and bzr+http:// connections. This will allow more efficient requests and
1474
responses, and more graceful fallback when a server is too old to
1475
recognise a request from a more recent client. Bazaar 1.6 will
1476
interoperate with 0.16 and later versions, but servers should be upgraded
1477
when possible. Bazaar 1.6 no longer interoperates with 0.15 and earlier via
1478
these protocols. Use alternatives like SFTP or upgrade those servers.
1479
(Andrew Bennetts, #83935)
1483
* Deprecation warnings will not be suppressed when running ``bzr selftest``
1484
so that developers can see if their code is using deprecated functions.
1485
(John Arbash Meinel)
1489
* Adding ``-Derror`` will now display a traceback when a plugin fails to
1490
load. (James Westby)
1494
* ``bzr branch/push/pull -r XXX`` now have a helper function for finding
1495
the revno of the new revision (``Graph.find_distance_to_null``). This
1496
should make something like ``bzr branch -r -100`` in a shared, no-trees
1497
repository much snappier. (John Arbash Meinel)
1499
* ``bzr log --short -r X..Y`` no longer needs to access the full revision
1500
history. This makes it noticeably faster when logging the last few
1501
revisions. (John Arbash Meinel)
1503
* ``bzr ls`` now accepts ``-V`` as an alias for ``--versioned``.
1504
(Jerad Cramp, #165086)
1506
* ``bzr missing`` uses the new ``Graph.find_unique_ancestors`` and
1507
``Graph.find_differences`` to determine missing revisions without having
1508
to search the whole ancestry. (John Arbash Meinel, #174625)
1510
* ``bzr uncommit`` now uses partial history access, rather than always
1511
extracting the full revision history for a branch. This makes it
1512
resolve the appropriate revisions much faster (in testing it drops
1513
uncommit from 1.5s => 0.4s). It also means ``bzr log --short`` is one
1514
step closer to not using full revision history.
1515
(John Arbash Meinel, #172649)
1519
* ``bzr merge --lca`` should handle when two revisions have no common
1520
ancestor other than NULL_REVISION. (John Arbash Meinel, #235715)
1522
* ``bzr status`` was breaking if you merged the same revision twice.
1523
(John Arbash Meinel, #235407)
1525
* ``bzr push`` with both ``--overwrite`` and ``-r NNN`` options no longer
1526
fails. (Andrew Bennetts, #234229)
1528
* Correctly track the base URL of a smart medium when using bzr+http://
1529
URLs, which was causing spurious "No repository present" errors with
1530
branches in shared repositories accessed over bzr+http.
1531
(Andrew Bennetts, #230550)
1533
* Define ``_remote_is_at_least_1_2`` on ``SmartClientMedium`` so that all
1534
implementations have the attribute. Fixes 'PyCurlTransport' object has no
1535
attribute '_remote_is_at_least_1_2' attribute errors.
1536
(Andrew Bennetts, #220806)
1538
* Failure to delete an obsolete pack file should just give a warning
1539
message, not a fatal error. It may for example fail if the file is still
1540
in use by another process.
1543
* Fix MemoryError during large fetches over HTTP by limiting the amount of
1544
data we try to read per ``recv`` call. The problem was observed with
1545
Windows and a proxy, but might affect other environments as well.
1546
(Eric Holmberg, #215426)
1548
* Handle old merge directives correctly in Merger.from_mergeable. Stricter
1549
get_parent_map requirements exposed a latent bug here. (Aaron Bentley)
1551
* Issue a warning and ignore passwords declared in authentication.conf when
1552
used for an ssh scheme (sftp or bzr+ssh).
1553
(Vincent Ladeuil, #203186)
1555
* Make both http implementations raise appropriate exceptions on 403
1556
Forbidden when POSTing smart requests.
1557
(Vincent Ladeuil, #230223)
1559
* Properly *title* header names in http requests instead of capitalizing
1561
(Vincent Ladeuil, #229076)
1563
* The "Unable to obtain lock" error message now also suggests using
1564
``bzr break-lock`` to fix it. (Martin Albisetti, #139202)
1566
* Treat an encoding of '' as ascii; this can happen when bzr is run
1567
under vim on Mac OS X.
1568
(Neil Martinsen-Burrell)
1570
* ``VersionedFile.make_mpdiffs()`` was raising an exception that wasn't in
1571
scope. (Daniel Fischer #235687)
1575
* Added directory structure and started translation of docs in spanish.
1576
(Martin Albisetti, Lucio Albenga)
1578
* Incorporate feedback from Jelmer Vernooij and Neil Martinsen-Burrell
1579
on the plugin and integration chapters of the User Guide.
1582
* More Bazaar developer documentation about packaging and release process,
1583
and about use of Python reprs.
1584
(Martin Pool, Martin Albisetti)
1586
* Updated Tortise strategy document. (Mark Hammond)
1590
* ``bzrlib.tests.adapt_tests`` was broken and unused - it has been fixed.
1593
* Fix the test HTTPServer to be isolated from chdir calls made while it is
1594
running, allowing it to be used in blackbox tests. (Robert Collins)
1596
* New helper function for splitting test suites
1597
``split_suite_by_condition``. (Robert Collins)
1601
* ``Branch.missing_revisions`` has been deprecated. Similar functionality
1602
can be obtained using ``bzrlib.missing.find_unmerged``. The api was
1603
fairly broken, and the function was unused, so we are getting rid of it.
1604
(John Arbash Meinel)
1608
* ``Branch.abspath`` is deprecated; use the Tree or Transport
1609
instead. (Martin Pool)
1611
* ``Branch.update_revisions`` now takes an optional ``Graph``
1612
object. This can be used by ``update_revisions`` when it is
1613
checking ancestry, and allows callers to prefer request to go to a
1614
local branch. (John Arbash Meinel)
1616
* Branch, Repository, Tree and BzrDir should expose a Transport as an
1617
attribute if they have one, rather than having it indirectly accessible
1618
as ``.control_files._transport``. This doesn't add a requirement
1619
to support a Transport in cases where it was not needed before;
1620
it just simplifies the way it is reached. (Martin Pool)
1622
* ``bzr missing --mine-only`` will return status code 0 if you have no
1623
new revisions, but the remote does. Similarly for ``--theirs-only``.
1624
The new code only checks one side, so it doesn't know if the other
1625
side has changes. This seems more accurate with the request anyway.
1626
It also changes the output to print '[This|Other] branch is up to
1627
date.' rather than displaying nothing. (John Arbash Meinel)
1629
* ``LockableFiles.put_utf8``, ``put_bytes`` and ``controlfilename``
1630
are now deprecated in favor of using Transport operations.
1633
* Many methods on ``VersionedFile``, ``Repository`` and in
1634
``bzrlib.revision`` deprecated before bzrlib 1.5 have been removed.
1637
* ``RevisionSpec.wants_revision_history`` can be set to False for a given
1638
``RevisionSpec``. This will disable the existing behavior of passing in
1639
the full revision history to ``self._match_on``. Useful for specs that
1640
don't actually need access to the full history. (John Arbash Meinel)
1642
* The constructors of ``SmartClientMedium`` and its subclasses now require a
1643
``base`` parameter. ``SmartClientMedium`` implementations now also need
1644
to provide a ``remote_path_from_transport`` method. (Andrew Bennetts)
1646
* The default permissions for creating new files and directories
1647
should now be obtained from ``BzrDir._get_file_mode()`` and
1648
``_get_dir_mode()``, rather than from LockableFiles. The ``_set_file_mode``
1649
and ``_set_dir_mode`` variables on LockableFiles which were advertised
1650
as a way for plugins to control this are no longer consulted.
1653
* ``VersionedFile.join`` is deprecated. This method required local
1654
instances of both versioned file objects and was thus hostile to being
1655
used for streaming from a smart server. The new get_record_stream and
1656
insert_record_stream are meant to efficiently replace this method.
1659
* ``WorkingTree.set_parent_(ids/trees)`` will now filter out revisions
1660
which are in the ancestry of other revisions. So if you merge the same
1661
tree twice, or merge an ancestor of an existing merge, it will only
1662
record the newest. (If you merge a descendent, it will replace its
1663
ancestor). (John Arbash Meinel, #235407)
1665
* ``WorkingTreeFormat2.stub_initialize_remote`` is now private.
1672
This release of Bazaar includes several updates to the documentation, and fixes
1673
to prepare for making rich root support the default format. Many bugs have been
1674
squashed, including fixes to log, bzr+ssh inter-operation with older servers.
1678
* Suppress deprecation warnings when bzrlib is a 'final' release. This way
1679
users of packaged software won't be bothered with DeprecationWarnings,
1680
but developers and testers will still see them. (John Arbash Meinel)
1684
* Incorporate feedback from Jelmer Vernooij and Neil Martinsen-Burrell
1685
on the plugin and integration chapters of the User Guide.
1689
bzr 1.5rc1 2008-05-09
1690
---------------------
1692
NOTES WHEN UPGRADING:
1696
* Broader support of GNU Emacs mail clients. Set
1697
``mail_client=emacsclient`` in your bazaar.conf and ``send`` will pop the
1698
bundle in a mail buffer according to the value of ``mail-user-agent``
1699
variable. (Xavier Maillard)
1705
* Diff now handles revision specs like "branch:" and "submit:" more
1706
efficiently. (Aaron Bentley, #202928)
1708
* More friendly error given when attempt to start the smart server
1709
on an address already in use. (Andrea Corbellini, #200575)
1711
* Pull completes much faster when there is nothing to pull.
1716
* Authentication.conf can define sections without password.
1717
(Vincent Ladeuil, #199440)
1719
* Avoid muttering every time a child update does not cause a progress bar
1720
update. (John Arbash Meinel, #213771)
1722
* ``Branch.reconcile()`` is now implemented. This allows ``bzr reconcile``
1723
to fix when a Branch has a non-canonical mainline history. ``bzr check``
1724
also detects this condition. (John Arbash Meinel, #177855)
1726
* ``bzr log -r ..X bzr://`` was failing, because it was getting a request
1727
for ``revision_id=None`` which was not a string.
1728
(John Arbash Meinel, #211661)
1730
* ``bzr commit`` now works with Microsoft's FTP service.
1733
* Catch definitions outside sections in authentication.conf.
1734
(Vincent Ladeuil, #217650)
1736
* Conversion from non-rich-root to rich-root(-pack) updates inventory
1737
sha1s, even when bundles are used. (Aaron Bentley, #181391)
1739
* Conversion from non-rich-root to rich-root(-pack) works correctly even
1740
though search keys are not topologically sorted. (Aaron Bentley)
1742
* Conversion from non-rich-root to rich-root(-pack) works even when a
1743
parent revision has a different root id. (Aaron Bentley, #177874)
1745
* Disable strace testing until strace is fixed (see bug #103133) and emit a
1746
warning when selftest ends to remind us of leaking tests.
1747
(Vincent Ladeuil, #226769)
1749
* Fetching all revisions from a repository does not cause pack collisions.
1750
(Robert Collins, Aaron Bentley, #212908)
1752
* Fix error about "attempt to add line-delta in non-delta knit".
1753
(Andrew Bennetts, #217701)
1755
* Pushing a branch in "dirstate" format (Branch5) over bzr+ssh would break
1756
if the remote server was < version 1.2. This was due to a bug in the
1757
RemoteRepository.get_parent_map() fallback code.
1758
(John Arbash Meinel, #214894)
1760
* Remove leftover code in ``bzr_branch`` that inappropriately creates
1761
a ``branch-name`` file in the branch control directory.
1764
* Set SO_REUSEADDR on server sockets of ``bzr serve`` to avoid problems
1765
rebinding the socket when starting the server a second time.
1766
(John Arbash Meinel, Martin Pool, #164288)
1768
* Severe performance degradation in fetching from knit repositories to
1769
knits and packs due to parsing the entire revisions.kndx on every graph
1770
walk iteration fixed by using the Repository.get_graph API. There was
1771
another regression in knit => knit fetching which re-read the index for
1772
every revision each side had in common.
1773
(Robert Collins, John Arbash Meinel)
1775
* When logging the changes to a particular file, there was a bug if there
1776
were ghosts in the revision ancestry. (John Arbash Meinel, #209948)
1778
* xs4all's ftp server returns a temporary error when trying to list an
1779
empty directory, rather than returning an empty list. Adding a
1780
workaround so that we don't get spurious failures.
1781
(John Arbash Meinel, #215522)
1785
* Expanded the User Guide to include new chapters on popular plugins and
1786
integrating Bazaar into your environment. The *Best practices* chapter
1787
was renamed to *Miscellaneous topics* as suggested by community
1788
feedback as well. (Ian Clatworthy)
1790
* Document outlining strategies for TortoiseBzr. (Mark Hammond)
1792
* Improved the documentation on hooks. (Ian Clatworthy)
1794
* Update authentication docs regarding ssh agents.
1795
(Vincent Ladeuil, #183705)
1799
* Add ``thread_name_suffix`` parameter to SmartTCPServer_for_testing, to
1800
make it easy to identify which test spawned a thread with an unhandled
1801
exception. (Andrew Bennetts)
1803
* New ``--debugflag``/``-E`` option to ``bzr selftest`` for setting
1804
options for debugging tests, these are complementary to the the -D
1805
options. The ``-Dselftest_debug`` global option has been replaced by the
1806
``-E=allow_debug`` option for selftest. (Andrew Bennetts)
1808
* Parameterised test ids are preserved correctly to aid diagnosis of test
1809
failures. (Robert Collins, Andrew Bennetts)
1811
* selftest now accepts --starting-with <id> to load only the tests whose id
1812
starts with the one specified. This greatly speeds up running the test
1813
suite on a limited set of tests and can be used to run the tests for a
1814
single module, a single class or even a single test. (Vincent Ladeuil)
1816
* The test suite modules have been modified to define load_tests() instead
1817
of test_suite(). That speeds up selective loading (via --load-list)
1818
significantly and provides many examples on how to migrate (grep for
1819
load_tests). (Vincent Ladeuil)
1823
* ``Hooks.install_hook`` is now deprecated in favour of
1824
``Hooks.install_named_hook`` which adds a required ``name`` parameter, to
1825
avoid having to call ``Hooks.name_hook``. (Daniel Watkins)
1827
* Implement xml8 serializer. (Aaron Bentley)
1829
* New form ``@deprecated_method(deprecated_in(1, 5, 0))`` for making
1830
deprecation wrappers. (Martin Pool)
1832
* ``Repository.revision_parents`` is now deprecated in favour of
1833
``Repository.get_parent_map([revid])[revid]``. (Jelmer Vernooij)
1835
* The Python ``assert`` statement is no longer used in Bazaar source, and
1836
a test checks this. (Martin Pool)
1840
* ``bzrlib.status.show_pending_merges`` requires the repository to be
1841
locked by the caller. Callers should have been doing it anyway, but it
1842
will now raise an exception if they do not. (John Arbash Meinel)
1844
* Repository.get_data_stream, Repository.get_data_stream_for_search(),
1845
Repository.get_deltas_for_revsions(), Repository.revision_trees(),
1846
Repository.item_keys_introduced_by() no longer take read locks.
1849
* ``LockableFiles.get_utf8`` and ``.get`` are deprecated, as a start
1850
towards removing LockableFiles and ``.control_files`` entirely.
1853
* Methods deprecated prior to 1.1 have been removed.
1860
This release of Bazaar includes handy improvements to the speed of log and
1861
status, new options for several commands, improved documentation, and better
1862
hooks, including initial code for server-side hooks. A number of bugs have
1863
been fixed, particularly in interoperability between different formats or
1864
different releases of Bazaar over there network. There's been substantial
1865
internal work in both the repository and network code to enable new features
1866
and faster performance.
1870
* Pushing a branch in "dirstate" format (Branch5) over bzr+ssh would break
1871
if the remote server was < version 1.2. This was due to a bug in the
1872
RemoteRepository.get_parent_map() fallback code.

1876
bzr 1.4rc2 2008-04-21
1877
---------------------
1881
* ``bzr log -r ..X bzr://`` was failing, because it was getting a request
1882
for ``revision_id=None`` which was not a string.
1883
(John Arbash Meinel, #211661)
1885
* Fixed a bug in handling ghost revisions when logging changes in a
1886
particular file. (John Arbash Meinel, #209948)
1888
* Fix error about "attempt to add line-delta in non-delta knit".
1889
(Andrew Bennetts, #205156)
1891
* Fixed performance degradation in fetching from knit repositories to
1892
knits and packs due to parsing the entire revisions.kndx on every graph
1893
walk iteration fixed by using the Repository.get_graph API. There was
1894
another regression in knit => knit fetching which re-read the index for
1895
every revision each side had in common.
1896
(Robert Collins, John Arbash Meinel)
1899
bzr 1.4rc1 2008-04-11
1900
---------------------
1904
* bzr main script cannot be imported (Benjamin Peterson)
1906
* On Linux bzr additionally looks for plugins in arch-independent site
1907
directory. (Toshio Kuratomi)
1909
* The ``set_rh`` branch hook is now deprecated. Please migrate
1910
any plugins using this hook to use an alternative, e.g.
1911
``post_change_branch_tip``. (Ian Clatworthy)
1913
* When a plugin cannot be loaded as the file path is not a valid
1914
python module name bzr will now strip a ``bzr_`` prefix from the
1915
front of the suggested name, as many plugins (e.g. bzr-svn)
1916
want to be installed without this prefix. It is a common mistake
1917
to have a folder named "bzr-svn" for that plugin, especially
1918
as this is what bzr branch lp:bzr-svn will give you. (James Westby,
1921
* UniqueIntegerBugTracker now appends bug-ids instead of joining
1922
them to the base URL. Plugins that register bug trackers may
1923
need a trailing / added to the base URL if one is not already there.
1924
(James Wesby, Andrew Cowie)
1928
* Added start_commit hook for mutable trees. (Jelmer Vernooij, #186422)
1930
* ``status`` now accepts ``--no-pending`` to show the status without
1931
listing pending merges, which speeds up the command a lot on large
1932
histories. (James Westby, #202830)
1934
* New ``post_change_branch_tip`` hook that is called after the
1935
branch tip is moved but while the branch is still write-locked.
1936
See the User Reference for signature details.
1937
(Ian Clatworthy, James Henstridge)
1939
* Reconfigure can convert a branch to be standalone or to use a shared
1940
repository. (Aaron Bentley)
1944
* The smart protocol now has support for setting branches' revision info
1945
directly. This should make operations like push slightly faster, and is a
1946
step towards server-side hooks. The new request method name is
1947
``Branch.set_last_revision_info``. (Andrew Bennetts)
1949
* ``bzr commit --fixes`` now recognises "gnome" as a tag by default.
1950
(James Westby, Andrew Cowie)
1952
* ``bzr switch`` will attempt to find branches to switch to relative to the
1953
current branch. E.g. ``bzr switch branchname`` will look for
1954
``current_branch/../branchname``. (Robert Collins, Jelmer Vernooij,
1957
* Diff is now more specific about execute-bit changes it describes
1960
* Fetching data over HTTP is a bit faster when urllib is used. This is done
1961
by forcing it to recv 64k at a time when reading lines in HTTP headers,
1962
rather than just 1 byte at a time. (Andrew Bennetts)
1964
* Log --short and --line are much faster when -r is not specified.
1967
* Merge is faster. We no longer check a file's existence unnecessarily
1968
when merging the execute bit. (Aaron Bentley)
1970
* ``bzr status`` on an explicit list of files no longer shows pending
1971
merges, making it much faster on large trees. (John Arbash Meinel)
1973
* The launchpad directory service now warns the user if they have not set
1974
their launchpad login and are trying to resolve a URL using it, just
1975
in case they want to do a write operation with it. (James Westby)
1977
* The smart protocol client is slightly faster, because it now only queries
1978
the server for the protocol version once per connection. Also, the HTTP
1979
transport will now automatically probe for and use a smart server if
1980
one is present. You can use the new ``nosmart+`` transport decorator
1981
to get the old behaviour. (Andrew Bennetts)
1983
* The ``version`` command takes a ``--short`` option to print just the
1984
version number, for easier use in scripts. (Martin Pool)
1986
* Various operations with revision specs and commands that calculate
1987
revnos and revision ids are faster. (John A. Meinel, Aaron Bentley)
1991
* Add ``root_client_path`` parameter to SmartWSGIApp and
1992
SmartServerRequest. This makes it possible to publish filesystem
1993
locations that don't exactly match URL paths. SmartServerRequest
1994
subclasses should use the new ``translate_client_path`` and
1995
``transport_from_client_path`` methods when dealing with paths received
1996
from a client to take this into account. (Andrew Bennetts, #124089)
1998
* ``bzr mv a b`` can be now used also to rename previously renamed
1999
directories, not only files. (Lukáš Lalinský, #107967)
2001
* ``bzr uncommit --local`` can now remove revisions from the local
2002
branch to be symmetric with ``bzr commit --local``.
2003
(John Arbash Meinel, #93412)
2005
* Don't ask for a password if there is no real terminal.
2006
(Alexander Belchenko, #69851)
2008
* Fix a bug causing a ValueError crash in ``parse_line_delta_iter`` when
2009
fetching revisions from a knit to pack repository or vice versa using
2010
bzr:// (including over http or ssh).
2011
(#208418, Andrew Bennetts, Martin Pool, Robert Collins)
2013
* Fixed ``_get_line`` in ``bzrlib.smart.medium``, which was buggy. Also
2014
fixed ``_get_bytes`` in the same module to use the push back buffer.
2015
These bugs had no known impact in normal use, but were problematic for
2016
developers working on the code, and were likely to cause real bugs sooner
2017
or later. (Andrew Bennetts)
2019
* Implement handling of basename parameter for DefaultMail. (James Westby)
2021
* Incompatibility with Paramiko versions newer than 1.7.2 was fixed.
2022
(Andrew Bennetts, #213425)
2024
* Launchpad locations (lp: URLs) can be pulled. (Aaron Bentley, #181945)
2026
* Merges that add files to deleted root directories complete. They
2027
do create conflicts. (Aaron Bentley, #210092)
2029
* vsftp's return ``550 RNFR command failed.`` supported.
2030
(Marcus Trautwig, #129786)
2034
* Improved documentation on send/merge relationship. (Peter Schuller)
2036
* Minor fixes to the User Guide. (Matthew Fuller)
2038
* Reduced the evangelism in the User Guide. (Ian Clatworthy)
2040
* Added Integrating with Bazaar document for developers (Martin Albisetti)
2044
* Attempting to pull data from a ghost aware repository (e.g. knits) into a
2045
non-ghost aware repository such as weaves will now fail if there are
2046
ghosts. (Robert Collins)
2048
* ``KnitVersionedFile`` no longer accepts an ``access_mode`` parameter, and
2049
now requires the ``index`` and ``access_method`` parameters to be
2050
supplied. A compatible shim has been kept in the new function
2051
``knit.make_file_knit``. (Robert Collins)
2053
* Log formatters must now provide log_revision instead of show and
2054
show_merge_revno methods. The latter had been deprecated since the 0.17
2055
release. (James Westby)
2057
* ``LoopbackSFTP`` is now called ``SocketAsChannelAdapter``.
2060
* ``osutils.backup_file`` is removed. (Alexander Belchenko)
2062
* ``Repository.get_revision_graph`` is deprecated, with no replacement
2063
method. The method was size(history) and not desirable. (Robert Collins)
2065
* ``revision.revision_graph`` is deprecated, with no replacement function.
2066
The function was size(history) and not desirable. (Robert Collins)
2068
* ``Transport.get_shared_medium`` is deprecated. Use
2069
``Transport.get_smart_medium`` instead. (Andrew Bennetts)
2071
* ``VersionedFile`` factories now accept a get_scope parameter rather
2072
than using a call to ``transaction_finished``, allowing the removal of
2073
the fixed list of versioned files per repository. (Robert Collins)
2075
* ``VersionedFile.annotate_iter`` is deprecated. While in principle this
2076
allowed lower memory use, all users of annotations wanted full file
2077
annotations, and there is no storage format suitable for incremental
2078
line-by-line annotation. (Robert Collins)
2080
* ``VersionedFile.clone_text`` is deprecated. This performance optimisation
2081
is no longer used - reading the content of a file that is undergoing a
2082
file level merge to identical state on two branches is rare enough, and
2083
not expensive enough to special case. (Robert Collins)
2085
* ``VersionedFile.clear_cache`` and ``enable_cache`` are deprecated.
2086
These methods added significant complexity to the ``VersionedFile``
2087
implementation, but were only used for optimising fetches from knits -
2088
which can be done from outside the knit layer, or via a caching
2089
decorator. As knits are not the default format, the complexity is no
2090
longer worth paying. (Robert Collins)
2092
* ``VersionedFile.create_empty`` is removed. This method presupposed a
2093
sensible mapping to a transport for individual files, but pack backed
2094
versioned files have no such mapping. (Robert Collins)
2096
* ``VersionedFile.get_graph`` is deprecated, with no replacement method.
2097
The method was size(history) and not desirable. (Robert Collins)
2099
* ``VersionedFile.get_graph_with_ghosts`` is deprecated, with no
2100
replacement method. The method was size(history) and not desirable.
2103
* ``VersionedFile.get_parents`` is deprecated, please use
2104
``VersionedFile.get_parent_map``. (Robert Collins)
2106
* ``VersionedFile.get_sha1`` is deprecated, please use
2107
``VersionedFile.get_sha1s``. (Robert Collins)
2109
* ``VersionedFile.has_ghost`` is now deprecated, as it is both expensive
2110
and unused outside of a single test. (Robert Collins)
2112
* ``VersionedFile.iter_parents`` is now deprecated in favour of
2113
``get_parent_map`` which can be used to instantiate a Graph on a
2114
VersionedFile. (Robert Collins)
2116
* ``VersionedFileStore`` no longer uses the transaction parameter given
2117
to most methods; amongst other things this means that the
2118
get_weave_or_empty method no longer guarantees errors on a missing weave
2119
in a readonly transaction, and no longer caches versioned file instances
2120
which reduces memory pressure (but requires more careful management by
2121
callers to preserve performance). (Robert Collins)
2125
* New -Dselftest_debug flag disables clearing of the debug flags during
2126
tests. This is useful if you want to use e.g. -Dhpss to help debug a
2127
failing test. Be aware that using this feature is likely to cause
2128
spurious test failures if used with the full suite. (Andrew Bennetts)
2130
* selftest --load-list now uses a new more agressive test loader that will
2131
avoid loading unneeded modules and building their tests. Plugins can use
2132
this new loader by defining a load_tests function instead of a test_suite
2133
function. (a forthcoming patch will provide many examples on how to
2137
* selftest --load-list now does some sanity checks regarding duplicate test
2138
IDs and tests present in the list but not found in the actual test suite.
2141
* Slightly more concise format for the selftest progress bar, so there's
2142
more space to show the test name. (Martin Pool) ::
2144
[2500/10884, 1fail, 3miss in 1m29s] test_revisionnamespaces.TestRev
2146
* The test suite takes much less memory to run, and is a bit faster. This
2147
is done by clearing most attributes of TestCases after running them, if
2148
they succeeded. (Andrew Bennetts)
2152
* Added ``_build_client_protocol`` to ``_SmartClient``. (Andrew Bennetts)
2154
* Added basic infrastructure for automatic plugin suggestion.
2157
* If a ``LockableFiles`` object is not explicitly unlocked (for example
2158
because of a missing ``try/finally`` block, it will give a warning but
2159
not automatically unlock itself. (Previously they did.) This
2160
sometimes caused knock-on errors if for example the network connection
2161
had already failed, and should not be relied upon by code.
2162
(Martin Pool, #109520)
2164
* ``make dist`` target to build a release tarball, and also
2165
``check-dist-tarball`` and ``dist-upload-escudero``. (Martin Pool)
2167
* The ``read_response_tuple`` method of ``SmartClientRequestProtocol*``
2168
classes will now raise ``UnknownSmartMethod`` when appropriate, so that
2169
callers don't need to try distinguish unknown request errors from other
2170
errors. (Andrew Bennetts)
2172
* ``set_make_working_trees`` is now implemented provided on all repository
2173
implementations (Aaron Bentley)
2175
* ``VersionedFile`` now has a new method ``get_parent_map`` which, like
2176
``Graph.get_parent_map`` returns a dict of key:parents. (Robert Collins)

Bazaar has become part of the GNU project <http://www.gnu.org>

Many operations that act on history, including ``log`` and ``annotate`` are now
2202
substantially faster. Several bugs have been fixed and several new options and

bzr 1.3rc1 2008-03-16
2213
---------------------
2215
NOTES WHEN UPGRADING:
2217
* The backup directory created by ``upgrade`` is now called
2218
``backup.bzr``, not ``.bzr.backup``. (Martin Albisetti)
2222
* A new repository format 'development' has been added. This format will
2223
represent the latest 'in-progress' format that the bzr developers are
2224
interested in getting early-adopter testing and feedback on.
2225
``doc/developers/development-repo.txt`` has detailed information.
2228
* BZR_LOG environment variable controls location of .bzr.log trace file.
2229
User can suppress writing messages to .bzr.log by using '/dev/null'
2230
filename (on Linux) or 'NUL' (on Windows). If BZR_LOG variable
2231
is not defined but BZR_HOME is defined then default location
2232
for .bzr.log trace file is ``$BZR_HOME/.bzr.log``.
2233
(Alexander Belchenko, #106117)
2235
* ``launchpad`` builtin plugin now shipped as separate part in standalone
2236
bzr.exe, installed to ``C:\Program Files\Bazaar\plugins`` directory,
2237
and standalone installer allows user to skip installation of this plugin.
2238
(Alexander Belchenko)
2240
* Restore auto-detection of plink.exe on Windows. (Dmitry Vasiliev)
2242
* Version number is now shown as "1.2" or "1.2pr2", without zeroed or
2243
missing final fields. (Martin Pool)
2247
* ``branch`` and ``checkout`` can hard-link working tree files, which is
2248
faster and saves space. (Aaron Bentley)
2250
* ``bzr send`` will now also look at the ``child_submit_to`` setting in
2251
the submit branch to determine the email address to send to.
2256
* BzrBranch._lefthand_history is faster on pack repos. (Aaron Bentley)
2258
* Branch6.generate_revision_history is faster. (Aaron Bentley)
2260
* Directory services can now be registered, allowing special URLs to be
2261
dereferenced into real URLs. This is a generalization and cleanup of
2262
the lp: transport lookup. (Aaron Bentley)
2264
* Merge directives that are automatically attached to emails have nicer
2265
filenames, based on branch-nick + revno. (Aaron Bentley)
2267
* ``push`` has a ``--revision`` option, to specify what revision to push up
2268
to. (Daniel Watkins)
2270
* Significantly reducing execution time and network traffic for trivial
2271
case of running ``bzr missing`` command for two identical branches.
2272
(Alexander Belchenko)
2274
* Speed up operations that look at the revision graph (such as 'bzr log').
2275
``KnitPackRepositor.get_revision_graph`` uses ``Graph.iter_ancestry`` to
2276
extract the revision history. This allows filtering ghosts while
2277
stepping instead of needing to peek ahead. (John Arbash Meinel)
2279
* The ``hooks`` command lists installed hooks, to assist in debugging.
2282
* Updates to how ``annotate`` work. Should see a measurable improvement in
2283
performance and memory consumption for file with a lot of merges.
2284
Also, correctly handle when a line is introduced by both parents (it
2285
should be attributed to the first merge which notices this, and not
2286
to all subsequent merges.) (John Arbash Meinel)
2290
* Autopacking no longer holds the full set of inventory lines in
2291
memory while copying. For large repositories, this can amount to
2292
hundreds of MB of ram consumption.
2293
(Ian Clatworthy, John Arbash Meinel)
2295
* Cherrypicking when using ``--format=merge3`` now explictly excludes
2296
BASE lines. (John Arbash Meinel, #151731)
2298
* Disable plink's interactive prompt for password.

* Include quick-start-summary.svg file to python-based installer(s)
2312
for Windows. (#192924, Alexander Belchenko)
2314
* lca merge now respects specified files. (Aaron Bentley)
2316
* Make version-info --custom imply --all. (#195560, James Westby)
2318
* ``merge --preview`` now works for merges that add or modify
2319
symlinks (James Henstridge)
2321
* Redirecting the output from ``bzr merge`` (when the remembered
2322
location is used) now works. (John Arbash Meinel)
2324
* setup.py script explicitly checks for Python version.
2325
(Jari Aalto, Alexander Belchenko, #200569)
2327
* UnknownFormatErrors no longer refer to branches regardless of kind of
2328
unknown format. (Daniel Watkins, #173980)
2330
* Upgrade bundled ConfigObj to version 4.5.2, which properly quotes #
2331
signs, among other small improvements. (Matt Nordhoff, #86838)
2333
* Use correct indices when emitting LCA conflicts. This fixes IndexError
2334
errors. (Aaron Bentley, #196780)
2338
* Explained how to use ``version-info --custom`` in the User Guide.
2339
(Neil Martinsen-Burrell)
2343
* Support for loading plugins from zip files and
2344
``bzrlib.plugin.load_from_zip()`` function are deprecated.
2345
(Alexander Belchenko)
2349
* Added missing blackbox tests for ``modified`` (Adrian Wilkins)
2351
* The branch interface tests were invalid for branches using rich-root
2352
repositories because the empty string is not a valid file-id.
2357
* ``Graph.iter_ancestry`` returns the ancestry of revision ids. Similar to
2358
``Repository.get_revision_graph()`` except it includes ghosts and you can
2359
stop part-way through. (John Arbash Meinel)
2361
* New module ``tools/package_mf.py`` provide custom module finder for
2362
python packages (improves standard python library's modulefinder.py)
2363
used by ``setup.py`` script while building standalone bzr.exe.
2364
(Alexander Belchenko)
2366
* New remote method ``RemoteBzrDir.find_repositoryV2`` adding support for
2367
detecting external lookup support on remote repositories. This method is
2368
now attempted first when lookup up repositories, leading to an extra
2369
round trip on older bzr smart servers. (Robert Collins)
2371
* Repository formats have a new supported-feature attribute
2372
``supports_external_lookups`` used to indicate repositories which support
2373
falling back to other repositories when they have partial data.
2376
* ``Repository.get_revision_graph_with_ghosts`` and
2377
``bzrlib.revision.(common_ancestor,MultipleRevisionSources,common_graph)``
2378
have been deprecated. (John Arbash Meinel)
2380
* ``Tree.iter_changes`` is now a public API, replacing the work-in-progress
2381
``Tree._iter_changes``. The api is now considered stable and ready for
2382
external users. (Aaron Bentley)
2384
* The bzrdir format registry now accepts an ``alias`` keyword to
2385
register_metadir, used to indicate that a format name is an alias for
2386
some other format and thus should not be reported when describing the
2387
format. (Robert Collins)
2395
* Fix failing test in Launchpad plugin. (Martin Pool)
2398
bzr 1.2rc1 2008-02-13
2399
---------------------
2401
NOTES WHEN UPGRADING:
2403
* Fetching via the smart protocol may need to reconnect once during a fetch
2404
if the remote server is running Bazaar 1.1 or earlier, because the client
2405
attempts to use more efficient requests that confuse older servers. You
2406
may be required to re-enter a password or passphrase when this happens.
2407
This won't happen if the server is upgraded to Bazaar 1.2.
2412
* Fetching via bzr+ssh will no longer fill ghosts by default (this is
2413
consistent with pack-0.92 fetching over SFTP). (Robert Collins)
2415
* Formatting of ``bzr plugins`` output is changed to be more human-
2416
friendly. Full path of plugins locations will be shown only with
2417
``--verbose`` command-line option. (Alexander Belchenko)
2419
* ``merge`` now prefers to use the submit branch, but will fall back to
2420
parent branch. For many users, this has no effect. But some users who
2421
pull and merge on the same branch will notice a change. This change
2422
makes it easier to work on a branch on two different machines, pulling
2423
between the machines, while merging from the upstream.
2424
``merge --remember`` can now be used to set the submit_branch.
2429
* ``merge --preview`` produces a diff of the changes merge would make,
2430
but does not actually perform the merge. (Aaron Bentley)
2432
* New smart method ``Repository.get_parent_map`` for getting revision
2433
parent data. This returns additional parent information topologically
2434
adjacent to the requested data to reduce round trip latency impacts.
2437
* New smart method, ``Repository.stream_revisions_chunked``, for fetching
2438
revision data that streams revision data via a chunked encoding. This
2439
avoids buffering large amounts of revision data on the server and on the
2440
client, and sends less data to the server to request the revisions.
2441
(Andrew Bennetts, Robert Collins, #178353)
2443
* The launchpad plugin now handles lp urls of the form
2444
``lp://staging/``, ``lp://demo/``, ``lp://dev/`` to use the appropriate
2445
launchpad instance to do the resolution of the branch identities.
2446
This is primarily of use to Launchpad developers, but can also
2447
be used by other users who want to try out Launchpad as
2448
a branch location without messing up their public Launchpad
2449
account. Branches that are pushed to the staging environment
2450
have an expected lifetime of one day. (Tim Penhey)
2454
* Creating a new branch no longer tries to read the entire revision-history
2455
unnecessarily over smart server operations. (Robert Collins)
2457
* Fetching between different repository formats with compatible models now
2458
takes advantage of the smart method to stream revisions. (Andrew Bennetts)
2460
* The ``--coverage`` option is now global, rather specific to ``bzr
2461
selftest``. (Andrew Bennetts)
2463
* The ``register-branch`` command will now use the public url of the branch
2464
containing the current directory, if one has been set and no explicit
2465
branch is provided. (Robert Collins)
2467
* Tweak the ``reannotate`` code path to optimize the 2-parent case.
2468
Speeds up ``bzr annotate`` with a pack repository by approx 3:2.
2469
(John Arbash Meinel)
2473
* Calculate remote path relative to the shared medium in _SmartClient. This
2474
is related to the problem in bug #124089. (Andrew Bennetts)
2476
* Cleanly handle connection errors in smart protocol version two, the same
2477
way as they are handled by version one. (Andrew Bennetts)
2479
* Clearer error when ``version-info --custom`` is used without
2480
``--template`` (Lukáš Lalinský)
2482
* Don't raise UnavailableFeature during test setup when medusa is not
2483
available or tearDown is never called leading to nasty side effects.
2484
(#137823, Vincent Ladeuil)
2486
* If a plugin's test suite cannot be loaded, for example because of a syntax
2487
error in the tests, then ``selftest`` fails, rather than just printing
2488
a warning. (Martin Pool, #189771)
2490
* List possible values for BZR_SSH environment variable in env-variables
2491
help topic. (Alexander Belchenko, #181842)
2493
* New methods ``push_log_file`` and ``pop_log_file`` to intercept messages:
2494
popping the log redirection now precisely restores the previous state,
2495
which makes it easier to use bzr log output from other programs.
2496
TestCaseInTempDir no longer depends on a log redirection being established
2497
by the test framework, which lets bzr tests cleanly run from a normal
2499
(#124153, #124849, Martin Pool, Jonathan Lange)
2501
* ``pull --quiet`` is now more quiet, in particular a message is no longer
2502
printed when the remembered pull location is used. (James Westby,
2505
* ``reconfigure`` can safely be interrupted while fetching.
2506
(Aaron Bentley, #179316)
2508
* ``reconfigure`` preserves tags when converting to and from lightweight
2509
checkouts. (Aaron Bentley, #182040)
2511
* Stop polluting /tmp when running selftest.
2512
(Vincent Ladeuil, #123623)
2514
* Switch from NFKC => NFC for normalization checks. NFC allows a few
2515
more characters which should be considered valid.
2516
(John Arbash Meinel, #185458)
2518
* The launchpad plugin now uses the ``edge`` xmlrpc server to avoid
2519
interacting badly with a bug on the launchpad side. (Robert Collins)
2521
* Unknown hostnames when connecting to a ``bzr://`` URL no longer cause
2522
tracebacks. (Andrew Bennetts, #182849)
2526
* Classes implementing Merge types like Merge3Merger must now accept (and
2527
honour) a do_merge flag in their constructor. (Aaron Bentley)
2529
* ``Repository.add_inventory`` and ``add_revision`` now require the caller
2530
to previously take a write lock (and start a write group.)
2535
* selftest now accepts --load-list <file> to load a test id list. This
2536
speeds up running the test suite on a limited set of tests.
2541
* Add a new method ``get_result`` to graph search objects. The resulting
2542
``SearchResult`` can be used to recreate the search later, which will
2543
be useful in reducing network traffic. (Robert Collins)
2545
* Use convenience function to check whether two repository handles
2546
are referring to the same repository in ``Repository.get_graph``.
2547
(Jelmer Vernooij, #187162)
2549
* Fetching now passes the find_ghosts flag through to the
2550
``InterRepository.missing_revision_ids`` call consistently for all
2551
repository types. This will enable faster missing revision discovery with
2552
bzr+ssh. (Robert Collins)
2554
* Fix error handling in Repository.insert_data_stream. (Lukas Lalinsky)
2556
* ``InterRepository.missing_revision_ids`` is now deprecated in favour of
2557
``InterRepository.search_missing_revision_ids`` which returns a
2558
``bzrlib.graph.SearchResult`` suitable for making requests from the smart
2559
server. (Robert Collins)
2561
* New error ``NoPublicBranch`` for commands that need a public branch to
2562
operate. (Robert Collins)
2564
* New method ``iter_inventories`` on Repository for access to many
2565
inventories. This is primarily used by the ``revision_trees`` method, as
2566
direct access to inventories is discouraged. (Robert Collins)
2568
* New method ``next_with_ghosts`` on the Graph breadth-first-search objects
2569
which will split out ghosts and present parents into two separate sets,
2570
useful for code which needs to be aware of ghosts (e.g. fetching data
2571
cares about ghosts during revision selection). (Robert Collins)
2573
* Record a timestamp against each mutter to the trace file, relative to the
2574
first import of bzrlib. (Andrew Bennetts)
2576
* ``Repository.get_data_stream`` is now deprecated in favour of
2577
``Repository.get_data_stream_for_search`` which allows less network
2578
traffic when requesting data streams over a smart server. (Robert Collins)
2580
* ``RemoteBzrDir._get_tree_branch`` no longer triggers ``_ensure_real``,
2581
removing one round trip on many network operations. (Robert Collins)
2583
* RemoteTransport's ``recommended_page_size`` method now returns 64k, like
2584
SFTPTransport and HttpTransportBase. (Andrew Bennetts)
2586
* Repository has a new method ``has_revisions`` which signals the presence
2587
of many revisions by returning a set of the revisions listed which are
2588
present. This can be done by index queries without reading data for parent
2589
revision names etc. (Robert Collins)
2595
(no changes from 1.1rc1)
2597
bzr 1.1rc1 2008-01-05
2598
---------------------
2602
* Dotted revision numbers have been revised. Instead of growing longer with
2603
nested branches the branch number just increases. (eg instead of 1.1.1.1.1
2604
we now report 1.2.1.) This helps scale long lived branches which have many
2605
feature branches merged between them. (John Arbash Meinel)
2607
* The syntax ``bzr diff branch1 branch2`` is no longer supported.
2608
Use ``bzr diff branch1 --new branch2`` instead. This change has
2609
been made to remove the ambiguity where ``branch2`` is in fact a
2610
specific file to diff within ``branch1``.
2614
* New option to use custom template-based formats in ``bzr version-info``.
2617
* diff '--using' allows an external diff tool to be used for files.
2620
* New "lca" merge-type for fast everyday merging that also supports
2621
criss-cross merges. (Aaron Bentley)
2625
* ``annotate`` now doesn't require a working tree. (Lukáš Lalinský,
2628
* ``branch`` and ``checkout`` can now use files from a working tree to
2629
to speed up the process. For checkout, this requires the new
2630
--files-from flag. (Aaron Bentley)
2632
* ``bzr diff`` now sorts files in alphabetical order. (Aaron Bentley)
2634
* ``bzr diff`` now works on branches without working trees. Tree-less
2635
branches can also be compared to each other and to working trees using
2636
the new diff options ``--old`` and ``--new``. Diffing between branches,
2637
with or without trees, now supports specific file filtering as well.
2638
(Ian Clatworthy, #6700)
2640
* ``bzr pack`` now orders revision texts in topological order, with newest
2641
at the start of the file, promoting linear reads for ``bzr log`` and the
2642
like. This partially fixes #154129. (Robert Collins)
2644
* Merge directives now fetch prerequisites from the target branch if
2645
needed. (Aaron Bentley)
2647
* pycurl now handles digest authentication.
2650
* ``reconfigure`` can now convert from repositories. (Aaron Bentley)
2652
* ``-l`` is now a short form for ``--limit`` in ``log``. (Matt Nordhoff)
2654
* ``merge`` now warns when merge directives cause cherrypicks.
2657
* ``split`` now supported, to enable splitting large trees into smaller
2658
pieces. (Aaron Bentley)
2662
* Avoid AttributeError when unlocking a pack repository when an error occurs.
2663
(Martin Pool, #180208)
2665
* Better handle short reads when processing multiple range requests.
2666
(Vincent Ladeuil, #179368)
2668
* build_tree acceleration uses the correct path when a file has been moved.
2671
* ``commit`` now succeeds when a checkout and its master branch share a
2672
repository. (Aaron Bentley, #177592)
2674
* Fixed error reporting of unsupported timezone format in
2675
``log --timezone``. (Lukáš Lalinský, #178722)
2677
* Fixed Unicode encoding error in ``ignored`` when the output is
2678
redirected to a pipe. (Lukáš Lalinský)
2680
* Fix traceback when sending large response bodies over the smart protocol
2681
on Windows. (Andrew Bennetts, #115781)
2683
* Fix ``urlutils.relative_url`` for the case of two ``file:///`` URLs
2684
pointed to different logical drives on Windows.
2685
(Alexander Belchenko, #90847)
2687
* HTTP test servers are now compatible with the http protocol version 1.1.
2688
(Vincent Ladeuil, #175524)
2690
* _KnitParentsProvider.get_parent_map now handles requests for ghosts
2691
correctly, instead of erroring or attributing incorrect parents to ghosts.
2694
* ``merge --weave --uncommitted`` now works. (Aaron Bentley)
2696
* pycurl authentication handling was broken and incomplete. Fix handling of
2697
user:pass embedded in the urls.
2698
(Vincent Ladeuil, #177643)
2700
* Files inside non-directories are now handled like other conflict types.
2701
(Aaron Bentley, #177390)
2703
* ``reconfigure`` is able to convert trees into lightweight checkouts.
2706
* Reduce lockdir timeout to 0 when running ``bzr serve``. (Andrew Bennetts,
2709
* Test that the old ``version_info_format`` functions still work, even
2710
though they are deprecated. (John Arbash Meinel, ShenMaq, #177872)
2712
* Transform failures no longer cause ImmortalLimbo errors (Aaron Bentley,
2715
* ``uncommit`` works even when the commit messages of revisions to be
2716
removed use characters not supported in the terminal encoding.
2719
* When dumb http servers return whole files instead of the requested ranges,
2720
read the remaining bytes by chunks to avoid overflowing network buffers.
2721
(Vincent Ladeuil, #175886)
2725
* Minor tweaks made to the bug tracker integration documentation.
2728
* Reference material has now be moved out of the User Guide and added
2729
to the User Reference. The User Reference has gained 4 sections as
2730
a result: Authenication Settings, Configuration Settings, Conflicts
2731
and Hooks. All help topics are now dumped into text format in the
2732
doc/en/user-reference directory for those who like browsing that
2733
information in their editor. (Ian Clatworthy)
2735
* *Using Bazaar with Launchpad* tutorial added. (Ian Clatworthy)
2739
* find_* methods available for BzrDirs, Branches and WorkingTrees.
2742
* Help topics can now be loaded from files.
2743
(Ian Clatworthy, Alexander Belchenko)
2745
* get_parent_map now always provides tuples as its output. (Aaron Bentley)
2747
* Parent Providers should now implement ``get_parent_map`` returning a
2748
dictionary instead of ``get_parents`` returning a list.
2749
``Graph.get_parents`` is now deprecated. (John Arbash Meinel,
2752
* Patience Diff now supports arbitrary python objects, as long as they
2753
support ``hash()``. (John Arbash Meinel)
2755
* Reduce selftest overhead to establish test names by memoization.
2762
* Modules can now customise their tests by defining a ``load_tests``
2763
attribute. ``pydoc bzrlib.tests.TestUtil.TestLoader.loadTestsFromModule``
2764
for the documentation on this attribute. (Robert Collins)
2766
* New helper function ``bzrlib.tests.condition_id_re`` which helps
2767
filter tests based on a regular expression search on the tests id.
2770
* New helper function ``bzrlib.tests.condition_isinstance`` which helps
2771
filter tests based on class. (Robert Collins)
2773
* New helper function ``bzrlib.tests.exclude_suite_by_condition`` which
2774
generalises the ``exclude_suite_by_re`` function. (Robert Collins)
2776
* New helper function ``bzrlib.tests.filter_suite_by_condition`` which
2777
generalises the ``filter_suite_by_re`` function. (Robert Collins)
2779
* New helper method ``bzrlib.tests.exclude_tests_by_re`` which gives a new
2780
TestSuite that does not contain tests from the input that matched a
2781
regular expression. (Robert Collins)
2783
* New helper method ``bzrlib.tests.randomize_suite`` which returns a
2784
randomized copy of the input suite. (Robert Collins)
2786
* New helper method ``bzrlib.tests.split_suite_by_re`` which splits a test
2787
suite into two according to a regular expression. (Robert Collins)
2789
* Parametrize all http tests for the transport implementations, the http
2790
protocol versions (1.0 and 1.1) and the authentication schemes.
2793
* The ``exclude_pattern`` and ``random_order`` parameters to the function
2794
``bzrlib.tests.filter_suite_by_re`` have been deprecated. (Robert Collins)
2796
* The method ``bzrlib.tests.sort_suite_by_re`` has been deprecated. It is
2797
replaced by the new helper methods added in this release. (Robert Collins)
2805
* More improvements and fixes to the User Guide. (Ian Clatworthy)
2807
* Add information on cherrypicking/rebasing to the User Guide.
2810
* Improve bug tracker integration documentation. (Ian Clatworthy)
2812
* Minor edits to ``Bazaar in five minutes`` from David Roberts and
2813
to the rebasing section of the User Guide from Aaron Bentley.
2817
bzr 1.0rc3 2007-12-11
2818
---------------------
2822
* If a traceback occurs, users are now asked to report the bug
2823
through Launchpad (https://bugs.launchpad.net/bzr/), rather than
2824
by mail to the mailing list.
2829
* Fix Makefile rules for doc generation. (Ian Clatworthy, #175207)
2831
* Give more feedback during long http downloads by making readv deliver data
2832
as it arrives for urllib, and issue more requests for pycurl. High latency
2833
networks are better handled by urllib, the pycurl implementation give more
2834
feedback but also incur more latency.
2835
(Vincent Ladeuil, #173010)
2837
* Implement _make_parents_provider on RemoteRepository, allowing generating
2838
bundles against branches on a smart server. (Andrew Bennetts, #147836)
2842
* Improved user guide. (Ian Clatworthy)
2844
* The single-page quick reference guide is now available as a PDF.
2849
* readv urllib http implementation is now a real iterator above the
2850
underlying socket and deliver data as soon as it arrives. 'get' still
2851
wraps its output in a StringIO.
2855
bzr 1.0rc2 2007-12-07
2856
---------------------
2860
* Added a --coverage option to selftest. (Andrew Bennetts)
2862
* Annotate merge (merge-type=weave) now supports cherrypicking.
2865
* ``bzr commit`` now doesn't print the revision number twice. (Matt
2868
* New configuration option ``bugtracker_<tracker_abbrevation>_url`` to
2869
define locations of bug trackers that are not directly supported by
2870
bzr or a plugin. The URL will be treated as a template and ``{id}``
2871
placeholders will be replaced by specific bug IDs. (Lukáš Lalinský)
2873
* Support logging single merge revisions with short and line log formatters.
2876
* User Guide enhanced with suggested readability improvements from
2877
Matt Revell and corrections from John Arbash Meinel. (Ian Clatworthy)
2879
* Quick Start Guide renamed to Quick Start Card, moved down in
2880
the catalog, provided in pdf and png format and updated to refer
2881
to ``send`` instead of ``bundle``. (Ian Clatworthy, #165080)
2883
* ``switch`` can now be used on heavyweight checkouts as well as
2884
lightweight ones. After switching a heavyweight checkout, the
2885
local branch is a mirror/cache of the new bound branch and
2886
uncommitted changes in the working tree are merged. As a safety
2887
check, if there are local commits in a checkout which have not
2888
been committed to the previously bound branch, then ``switch``
2889
fails unless the ``--force`` option is given. This option is
2890
now also required if the branch a lightweight checkout is pointing
2891
to has been moved. (Ian Clatworthy)
2895
* New -Dhttp debug option reports http connections, requests and responses.
2898
* New -Dmerge debug option, which emits merge plans for merge-type=weave.
2902
* Better error message when running ``bzr cat`` on a non-existant branch.
2903
(Lukáš Lalinský, #133782)
2905
* Catch OSError 17 (file exists) in final phase of tree transform and show
2907
(Alexander Belchenko, #111758)
2909
* Catch ShortReadvErrors while using pycurl. Also make readv more robust by
2910
allowing multiple GET requests to be issued if too many ranges are
2912
(Vincent Ladeuil, #172701)
2914
* Check for missing basis texts when fetching from packs to packs.
2915
(John Arbash Meinel, #165290)
2917
* Fall back to showing e-mail in ``log --short/--line`` if the
2918
committer/author has only e-mail. (Lukáš Lalinský, #157026)
2922
* Deprecate not passing a ``location`` argument to commit reporters'
2923
``started`` methods. (Matt Nordhoff)
2926
bzr 1.0rc1 2007-11-30
2927
---------------------
2929
NOTES WHEN UPGRADING:
2931
* The default repository format is now ``pack-0.92``. This
2932
default is used when creating new repositories with ``init`` and
2933
``init-repo``, and when branching over bzr+ssh or bzr+hpss.
2934
(See https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/164626)
2936
This format can be read and written by Bazaar 0.92 and later, and
2937
data can be transferred to and from older formats.
2939
To upgrade, please reconcile your repository (``bzr reconcile``), and then
2940
upgrade (``bzr upgrade``).
2942
``pack-0.92`` offers substantially better scaling and performance than the
2943
previous knits format. Some operations are slower where the code already
2944
had bad scaling characteristics under knits, the pack format makes such
2945
operations more visible as part of being more scalable overall. We will
2946
correct such operations over the coming releases and encourage the filing
2947
of bugs on any operation which you observe to be slower in a packs
2948
repository. One particular case that we do not intend to fix is pulling
2949
data from a pack repository into a knit repository over a high latency
2950
link; downgrading such data requires reinsertion of the file texts, and
2951
this is a classic space/time tradeoff. The current implementation is
2952
conservative on memory usage because we need to support converting data
2953
from any tree without problems.
2954
(Robert Collins, Martin Pool, #164476)
2958
* Disable detection of plink.exe as possible ssh vendor. Plink vendor
2959
still available if user selects it explicitly with BZR_SSH environment
2960
variable. (Alexander Belchenko, workaround for bug #107593)
2962
* The pack format is now accessible as "pack-0.92", or "pack-0.92-subtree"
2963
to enable the subtree functions (for example, for bzr-svn).
2964
See http://doc.bazaar-vcs.org/latest/developer/packrepo.html
2969
* New ``authentication.conf`` file holding the password or other credentials
2970
for remote servers. This can be used for ssh, sftp, smtp and other
2971
supported transports.
2974
* New rich-root and rich-root-pack formats, recording the same data about
2975
tree roots that's recorded for all other directories.
2976
(Aaron Bentley, #164639)
2978
* ``pack-0.92`` repositories can now be reconciled.
2979
(Robert Collins, #154173)
2981
* ``switch`` command added for changing the branch a lightweight checkout
2982
is associated with and updating the tree to reflect the latest content
2983
accordingly. This command was previously part of the BzrTools plug-in.
2984
(Ian Clatworthy, Aaron Bentley, David Allouche)
2986
* ``reconfigure`` command can now convert branches, trees, or checkouts to
2987
lightweight checkouts. (Aaron Bentley)
2991
* Commit updates the state of the working tree via a delta rather than
2992
supplying entirely new basis trees. For commit of a single specified file
2993
this reduces the wall clock time for commit by roughly a 30%.
2994
(Robert Collins, Martin Pool)
2996
* Commit with many automatically found deleted paths no longer performs
2997
linear scanning for the children of those paths during inventory
2998
iteration. This should fix commit performance blowing out when many such
2999
paths occur during commit. (Robert Collins, #156491)
3001
* Fetch with pack repositories will no longer read the entire history graph.
3002
(Robert Collins, #88319)
3004
* Revert takes out an appropriate lock when reverting to a basis tree, and
3005
does not read the basis inventory twice. (Robert Collins)
3007
* Diff does not require an inventory to be generated on dirstate trees.
3008
(Aaron Bentley, #149254)
3010
* New annotate merge (--merge-type=weave) implementation is fast on
3011
versionedfiles withough cached annotations, e.g. pack-0.92.
3016
* ``bzr merge`` now warns when it encounters a criss-cross merge.
3019
* ``bzr send`` now doesn't require the target e-mail address to be
3020
specified on the command line if an interactive e-mail client is used.
3023
* ``bzr tags`` now prints the revision number for each tag, instead of
3024
the revision id, unless --show-ids is passed. In addition, tags can be
3025
sorted chronologically instead of lexicographically with --sort=time.
3026
(Adeodato Simó, #120231)
3028
* Windows standalone version of bzr is able to load system-wide plugins from
3029
"plugins" subdirectory in installation directory. In addition standalone
3030
installer write to the registry (HKLM\SOFTWARE\Bazaar) useful info
3031
about paths and bzr version. (Alexander Belchenko, #129298)
3037
* A progress bar has been added for knitpack -> knitpack fetching.
3038
(Robert Collins, #157789, #159147)
3040
* Branching from a branch via smart server now preserves the repository
3041
format. (Andrew Bennetts, #164626)
3043
* ``commit`` is now able to invoke an external editor in a non-ascii
3044
directory. (Daniel Watkins, #84043)
3046
* Catch connection errors for ftp.
3047
(Vincent Ladeuil, #164567)
3049
* ``check`` no longer reports spurious unreferenced text versions.
3050
(Robert Collins, John A Meinel, #162931, #165071)
3052
* Conflicts are now resolved recursively by ``revert``.
3053
(Aaron Bentley, #102739)
3055
* Detect invalid transport reuse attempts by catching invalid URLs.
3056
(Vincent Ladeuil, #161819)
3058
* Deleting a file without removing it shows a correct diff, not a traceback.
3061
* Do no use timeout in HttpServer anymore.
3062
(Vincent Ladeuil, #158972).
3064
* Don't catch the exceptions related to the http pipeline status before
3065
retrying an http request or some programming errors may be masked.
3066
(Vincent Ladeuil, #160012)
3068
* Fix ``bzr rm`` to not delete modified and ignored files.
3069
(Lukáš Lalinský, #172598)
3071
* Fix exception when revisionspec contains merge revisons but log
3072
formatter doesn't support merge revisions. (Kent Gibson, #148908)
3074
* Fix exception when ScopeReplacer is assigned to before any members have
3075
been retrieved. (Aaron Bentley)
3077
* Fix multiple connections during checkout --lightweight.
3078
(Vincent Ladeuil, #159150)
3080
* Fix possible error in insert_data_stream when copying between
3081
pack repositories over bzr+ssh or bzr+http.
3082
KnitVersionedFile.get_data_stream now makes sure that requested
3083
compression parents are sent before any delta hunks that depend
3085
(Martin Pool, #164637)
3087
* Fix typo in limiting offsets coalescing for http, leading to
3088
whole files being downloaded instead of parts.
3089
(Vincent Ladeuil, #165061)
3091
* FTP server errors don't error in the error handling code.
3092
(Robert Collins, #161240)
3094
* Give a clearer message when a pull fails because the source needs
3096
(Martin Pool, #164443)
3098
* It is clearer when a plugin cannot be loaded because of its name, and a
3099
suggestion for an acceptable name is given. (Daniel Watkins, #103023)
3101
* Leave port as None in transport objects if user doesn't
3102
specify a port in urls.
3103
(vincent Ladeuil, #150860)
3105
* Make sure Repository.fetch(self) is properly a no-op for all
3106
Repository implementations. (John Arbash Meinel, #158333)
3108
* Mark .bzr directories as "hidden" on Windows.
3109
(Alexander Belchenko, #71147)
3111
* ``merge --uncommitted`` can now operate on a single file.
3112
(Aaron Bentley, Lukáš Lalinský, #136890)
3114
* Obsolete packs are now cleaned up by pack and autopack operations.
3115
(Robert Collins, #153789)
3117
* Operations pulling data from a smart server where the underlying
3118
repositories are not both annotated/both unannotated will now work.
3119
(Robert Collins, #165304).
3121
* Reconcile now shows progress bars. (Robert Collins, #159351)
3123
* ``RemoteBranch`` was not initializing ``self._revision_id_to_revno_map``
3124
properly. (John Arbash Meinel, #162486)
3126
* Removing an already-removed file reports the file does not exist. (Daniel
3129
* Rename on Windows is able to change filename case.
3130
(Alexander Belchenko, #77740)
3132
* Return error instead of a traceback for ``bzr log -r0``.
3133
(Kent Gibson, #133751)
3135
* Return error instead of a traceback when bzr is unable to create
3136
symlink on some platforms (e.g. on Windows).
3137
(Alexander Belchenko, workaround for #81689)
3139
* Revert doesn't crash when restoring a single file from a deleted
3140
directory. (Aaron Bentley)
3142
* Stderr output via logging mechanism now goes through encoded wrapper
3143
and no more uses utf-8, but terminal encoding instead. So all unicode
3144
strings now should be readable in non-utf-8 terminal.
3145
(Alexander Belchenko, #54173)
3147
* The error message when ``move --after`` should be used makes how to do so
3148
clearer. (Daniel Watkins, #85237)
3150
* Unicode-safe output from ``bzr info``. The output will be encoded
3151
using the terminal encoding and unrepresentable characters will be
3152
replaced by '?'. (Lukáš Lalinský, #151844)
3154
* Working trees are no longer created when pushing into a local no-trees
3155
repo. (Daniel Watkins, #50582)
3157
* Upgrade util/configobj to version 4.4.0.
3158
(Vincent Ladeuil, #151208).
3160
* Wrap medusa ftp test server as an FTPServer feature.
3161
(Vincent Ladeuil, #157752)
3165
* ``osutils.backup_file`` is deprecated. Actually it's not used in bzrlib
3166
during very long time. (Alexander Belchenko)
3168
* The return value of
3169
``VersionedFile.iter_lines_added_or_present_in_versions`` has been
3170
changed. Previously it was an iterator of lines, now it is an iterator of
3171
(line, version_id) tuples. This change has been made to aid reconcile and
3172
fetch operations. (Robert Collins)
3174
* ``bzrlib.repository.get_versioned_file_checker`` is now private.
3177
* The Repository format registry default has been removed; it was previously
3178
obsoleted by the bzrdir format default, which implies a default repository
3184
* Added ``ContainerSerialiser`` and ``ContainerPushParser`` to
3185
``bzrlib.pack``. These classes provide more convenient APIs for generating
3186
and parsing containers from streams rather than from files. (Andrew
3189
* New module ``lru_cache`` providing a cache for use by tasks that need
3190
semi-random access to large amounts of data. (John A Meinel)
3192
* InventoryEntry.diff is now deprecated. Please use diff.DiffTree instead.
3202
* New uninstaller on Win32. (Alexander Belchenko)
3205
bzr 0.92rc1 2007-10-29
3206
----------------------
3208
NOTES WHEN UPGRADING:
3212
* ``bzr`` now returns exit code 4 if an internal error occurred, and
3213
3 if a normal error occurred. (Martin Pool)
3215
* ``pull``, ``merge`` and ``push`` will no longer silently correct some
3216
repository index errors that occured as a result of the Weave disk format.
3217
Instead the ``reconcile`` command needs to be run to correct those
3218
problems if they exist (and it has been able to fix most such problems
3219
since bzr 0.8). Some new problems have been identified during this release
3220
and you should run ``bzr check`` once on every repository to see if you
3221
need to reconcile. If you cannot ``pull`` or ``merge`` from a remote
3222
repository due to mismatched parent errors - a symptom of index errors -
3223
you should simply take a full copy of that remote repository to a clean
3224
directory outside any local repositories, then run reconcile on it, and
3225
finally pull from it locally. (And naturally email the repositories owner
3226
to ask them to upgrade and run reconcile).
3231
* New ``knitpack-experimental`` repository format. This is interoperable with
3232
the ``dirstate-tags`` format but uses a smarter storage design that greatly
3233
speeds up many operations, both local and remote. This new format can be
3234
used as an option to the ``init``, ``init-repository`` and ``upgrade``
3235
commands. See http://doc.bazaar-vcs.org/0.92/developers/knitpack.html
3236
for further details. (Robert Collins)
3238
* For users of bzr-svn (and those testing the prototype subtree support) that
3239
wish to try packs, a new ``knitpack-subtree-experimental`` format has also
3240
been added. This is interoperable with the ``dirstate-subtrees`` format.
3243
* New ``reconfigure`` command. (Aaron Bentley)
3245
* New ``revert --forget-merges`` command, which removes the record of a pending
3246
merge without affecting the working tree contents. (Martin Pool)
3248
* New ``bzr_remote_path`` configuration variable allows finer control of
3249
remote bzr locations than BZR_REMOTE_PATH environment variable.
3252
* New ``launchpad-login`` command to tell Bazaar your Launchpad
3253
user ID. This can then be used by other functions of the
3254
Launchpad plugin. (James Henstridge)
3258
* Commit in quiet mode is now slightly faster as the information to
3259
output is no longer calculated. (Ian Clatworthy)
3261
* Commit no longer checks for new text keys during insertion when the
3262
revision id was deterministically unique. (Robert Collins)
3264
* Committing a change which is not a merge and does not change the number of
3265
files in the tree is faster by utilising the data about whether files are
3266
changed to determine if the tree is unchanged rather than recalculating
3267
it at the end of the commit process. (Robert Collins)
3269
* Inventory serialisation no longer double-sha's the content.
3272
* Knit text reconstruction now avoids making copies of the lines list for
3273
interim texts when building a single text. The new ``apply_delta`` method
3274
on ``KnitContent`` aids this by allowing modification of the revision id
3275
such objects represent. (Robert Collins)
3277
* Pack indices are now partially parsed for specific key lookup using a
3278
bisection approach. (Robert Collins)
3280
* Partial commits are now approximately 40% faster by walking over the
3281
unselected current tree more efficiently. (Robert Collins)
3283
* XML inventory serialisation takes 20% less time while being stricter about
3284
the contents. (Robert Collins)
3286
* Graph ``heads()`` queries have been fixed to no longer access all history
3287
unnecessarily. (Robert Collins)
3291
* ``bzr+https://`` smart server across https now supported.
3292
(John Ferlito, Martin Pool, #128456)
3294
* Mutt is now a supported mail client; set ``mail_client=mutt`` in your
3295
bazaar.conf and ``send`` will use mutt. (Keir Mierle)
3297
* New option ``-c``/``--change`` for ``merge`` command for cherrypicking
3298
changes from one revision. (Alexander Belchenko, #141368)
3300
* Show encodings, locale and list of plugins in the traceback message.
3301
(Martin Pool, #63894)
3303
* Experimental directory formats can now be marked with
3304
``experimental = True`` during registration. (Ian Clatworthy)
3308
* New *Bazaar in Five Minutes* guide. (Matthew Revell)
3310
* The hooks reference documentation is now converted to html as expected.
3315
* Connection error reporting for the smart server has been fixed to
3316
display a user friendly message instead of a traceback.
3317
(Ian Clatworthy, #115601)
3319
* Make sure to use ``O_BINARY`` when opening files to check their
3320
sha1sum. (Alexander Belchenko, John Arbash Meinel, #153493)
3322
* Fix a problem with Win32 handling of the executable bit.
3323
(John Arbash Meinel, #149113)
3325
* ``bzr+ssh://`` and ``sftp://`` URLs that do not specify ports explicitly
3326
no longer assume that means port 22. This allows people using OpenSSH to
3327
override the default port in their ``~/.ssh/config`` if they wish. This
3328
fixes a bug introduced in bzr 0.91. (Andrew Bennetts, #146715)
3330
* Commands reporting exceptions can now be profiled and still have their
3331
data correctly dumped to a file. For example, a ``bzr commit`` with
3332
no changes still reports the operation as pointless but doing so no
3333
longer throws away the profiling data if this command is run with
3334
``--lsprof-file callgrind.out.ci`` say. (Ian Clatworthy)
3336
* Fallback to ftp when paramiko is not installed and sftp can't be used for
3337
``tests/commands`` so that the test suite is still usable without
3339
(Vincent Ladeuil, #59150)
3341
* Fix commit ordering in corner case. (Aaron Bentley, #94975)
3343
* Fix long standing bug in partial commit when there are renames
3344
left in tree. (Robert Collins, #140419)
3346
* Fix selftest semi-random noise during http related tests.
3347
(Vincent Ladeuil, #140614)
3349
* Fix typo in ftp.py making the reconnection fail on temporary errors.
3350
(Vincent Ladeuil, #154259)
3352
* Fix failing test by comparing real paths to cover the case where the TMPDIR
3353
contains a symbolic link.
3354
(Vincent Ladeuil, #141382).
3356
* Fix log against smart server branches that don't support tags.
3357
(James Westby, #140615)
3359
* Fix pycurl http implementation by defining error codes from
3360
pycurl instead of relying on an old curl definition.
3361
(Vincent Ladeuil, #147530)
3363
* Fix 'unprintable error' message when displaying BzrCheckError and
3364
some other exceptions on Python 2.5.
3365
(Martin Pool, #144633)
3367
* Fix ``Inventory.copy()`` and add test for it. (Jelmer Vernooij)
3369
* Handles default value for ListOption in cmd_commit.
3370
(Vincent Ladeuil, #140432)
3372
* HttpServer and FtpServer need to be closed properly or a listening socket
3374
(Vincent Ladeuil, #140055)
3376
* Monitor the .bzr directory created in the top level test
3377
directory to detect leaking tests.
3378
(Vincent Ladeuil, #147986)
3380
* The basename, not the full path, is now used when checking whether
3381
the profiling dump file begins with ``callgrind.out`` or not. This
3382
fixes a bug reported by Aaron Bentley on IRC. (Ian Clatworthy)
3384
* Trivial fix for invoking command ``reconfigure`` without arguments.
3387
* ``WorkingTree.rename_one`` will now raise an error if normalisation of the
3388
new path causes bzr to be unable to access the file. (Robert Collins)
3390
* Correctly detect a NoSuchFile when using a filezilla server. (Gary van der
3395
* ``bzrlib.index.GraphIndex`` now requires a size parameter to the
3396
constructor, for enabling bisection searches. (Robert Collins)
3398
* ``CommitBuilder.record_entry_contents`` now requires the root entry of a
3399
tree be supplied to it, previously failing to do so would trigger a
3400
deprecation warning. (Robert Collins)
3402
* ``KnitVersionedFile.add*`` will no longer cache added records even when
3403
enable_cache() has been called - the caching feature is now exclusively for
3404
reading existing data. (Robert Collins)
3406
* ``ReadOnlyLockError`` is deprecated; ``LockFailed`` is usually more
3407
appropriate. (Martin Pool)
3409
* Removed ``bzrlib.transport.TransportLogger`` - please see the new
3410
``trace+`` transport instead. (Robert Collins)
3412
* Removed previously deprecated varargs interface to ``TestCase.run_bzr`` and
3413
deprecated methods ``TestCase.capture`` and ``TestCase.run_bzr_captured``.
3416
* Removed previous deprecated ``basis_knit`` parameter to the
3417
``KnitVersionedFile`` constructor. (Robert Collins)
3419
* Special purpose method ``TestCase.run_bzr_decode`` is moved to the test_non_ascii
3420
class that needs it.
3423
* The class ``bzrlib.repofmt.knitrepo.KnitRepository3`` has been folded into
3424
``KnitRepository`` by parameters to the constructor. (Robert Collins)
3426
* The ``VersionedFile`` interface now allows content checks to be bypassed
3427
by supplying check_content=False. This saves nearly 30% of the minimum
3428
cost to store a version of a file. (Robert Collins)
3430
* Tree's with bad state such as files with no length or sha will no longer
3431
be silently accepted by the repository XML serialiser. To serialise
3432
inventories without such data, pass working=True to write_inventory.
3435
* ``VersionedFile.fix_parents`` has been removed as a harmful API.
3436
``VersionedFile.join`` will no longer accept different parents on either
3437
side of a join - it will either ignore them, or error, depending on the
3438
implementation. See notes when upgrading for more information.
3443
* ``bzrlib.transport.Transport.put_file`` now returns the number of bytes
3444
put by the method call, to allow avoiding stat-after-write or
3445
housekeeping in callers. (Robert Collins)
3447
* ``bzrlib.xml_serializer.Serializer`` is now responsible for checking that
3448
mandatory attributes are present on serialisation and deserialisation.
3449
This fixes some holes in API usage and allows better separation between
3450
physical storage and object serialisation. (Robert Collins)
3452
* New class ``bzrlib.errors.InternalBzrError`` which is just a convenient
3453
shorthand for deriving from BzrError and setting internal_error = True.
3456
* New method ``bzrlib.mutabletree.update_to_one_parent_via_delta`` for
3457
moving the state of a parent tree to a new version via a delta rather than
3458
a complete replacement tree. (Robert Collins)
3460
* New method ``bzrlib.osutils.minimum_path_selection`` useful for removing
3461
duplication from user input, when a user mentions both a path and an item
3462
contained within that path. (Robert Collins)
3464
* New method ``bzrlib.repository.Repository.is_write_locked`` useful for
3465
determining if a repository is write locked. (Robert Collins)
3467
* New method on ``bzrlib.tree.Tree`` ``path_content_summary`` provides a
3468
tuple containing the key information about a path for commit processing
3469
to complete. (Robert Collins)
3471
* New method on xml serialisers, write_inventory_to_lines, which matches the
3472
API used by knits for adding content. (Robert Collins)
3474
* New module ``bzrlib.bisect_multi`` with generic multiple-bisection-at-once
3475
logic, currently only available for byte-based lookup
3476
(``bisect_multi_bytes``). (Robert Collins)
3478
* New helper ``bzrlib.tuned_gzip.bytes_to_gzip`` which takes a byte string
3479
and returns a gzipped version of the same. This is used to avoid a bunch
3480
of api friction during adding of knit hunks. (Robert Collins)
3482
* New parameter on ``bzrlib.transport.Transport.readv``
3483
``adjust_for_latency`` which changes readv from returning strictly the
3484
requested data to inserted return larger ranges and in forward read order
3485
to reduce the effect of network latency. (Robert Collins)
3487
* New parameter yield_parents on ``Inventory.iter_entries_by_dir`` which
3488
causes the parents of a selected id to be returned recursively, so all the
3489
paths from the root down to each element of selected_file_ids are
3490
returned. (Robert Collins)
3492
* Knit joining has been enhanced to support plain to annotated conversion
3493
and annotated to plain conversion. (Ian Clatworthy)
3495
* The CommitBuilder method ``record_entry_contents`` now returns summary
3496
information about the effect of the commit on the repository. This tuple
3497
contains an inventory delta item if the entry changed from the basis, and a
3498
boolean indicating whether a new file graph node was recorded.
3501
* The python path used in the Makefile can now be overridden.
3502
(Andrew Bennetts, Ian Clatworthy)
3506
* New transport implementation ``trace+`` which is useful for testing,
3507
logging activity taken to its _activity attribute. (Robert Collins)
3509
* When running bzr commands within the test suite, internal exceptions are
3510
not caught and reported in the usual way, but rather allowed to propagate
3511
up and be visible to the test suite. A new API ``run_bzr_catch_user_errors``
3512
makes this behavior available to other users.
3515
* New method ``TestCase.call_catch_warnings`` for testing methods that
3516
raises a Python warning. (Martin Pool)
3524
* Print a warning instead of aborting the ``python setup.py install``
3525
process if building of a C extension is not possible.
3526
(Lukáš Lalinský, Alexander Belchenko)
3528
* Fix commit ordering in corner case (Aaron Bentley, #94975)
3530
* Fix ''bzr info bzr://host/'' and other operations on ''bzr://' URLs with
3531
an implicit port. We were incorrectly raising PathNotChild due to
3532
inconsistent treatment of the ''_port'' attribute on the Transport object.
3533
(Andrew Bennetts, #133965)
3535
* Make RemoteRepository.sprout cope gracefully with servers that don't
3536
support the ``Repository.tarball`` request.
3540
bzr 0.91rc2 2007-09-11
3541
----------------------
3543
* Replaced incorrect tarball for previous release; a debug statement was left
3544
in bzrlib/remote.py.
3547
bzr 0.91rc1 2007-09-11
3548
----------------------
3552
* The default branch and repository format has changed to
3553
``dirstate-tags``, so tag commands are active by default.
3554
This format is compatible with Bazaar 0.15 and later.
3555
This incidentally fixes bug #126141.
3558
* ``--quiet`` or ``-q`` is no longer a global option. If present, it
3559
must now appear after the command name. Scripts doing things like
3560
``bzr -q missing`` need to be rewritten as ``bzr missing -q``.
3565
* New option ``--author`` in ``bzr commit`` to specify the author of the
3566
change, if it's different from the committer. ``bzr log`` and
3567
``bzr annotate`` display the author instead of the committer.
3570
* In addition to global options and command specific options, a set of
3571
standard options are now supported. Standard options are legal for
3572
all commands. The initial set of standard options are:
3574
* ``--help`` or ``-h`` - display help message
3575
* ``--verbose`` or ``-v`` - display additional information
3576
* ``--quiet`` or ``-q`` - only output warnings and errors.
3578
Unlike global options, standard options can be used in aliases and
3579
may have command-specific help. (Ian Clatworthy)
3581
* Verbosity level processing has now been unified. If ``--verbose``
3582
or ``-v`` is specified on the command line multiple times, the
3583
verbosity level is made positive the first time then increased.
3584
If ``--quiet`` or ``-q`` is specified on the command line
3585
multiple times, the verbosity level is made negative the first
3586
time then decreased. To get the default verbosity level of zero,
3587
either specify none of the above , ``--no-verbose`` or ``--no-quiet``.
3588
Note that most commands currently ignore the magnitude of the
3589
verbosity level but do respect *quiet vs normal vs verbose* when
3590
generating output. (Ian Clatworthy)
3592
* ``Branch.hooks`` now supports ``pre_commit`` hook. The hook's signature
3593
is documented in BranchHooks constructor. (Nam T. Nguyen, #102747)
3595
* New ``Repository.stream_knit_data_for_revisions`` request added to the
3596
network protocol for greatly reduced roundtrips when retrieving a set of
3597
revisions. (Andrew Bennetts)
3601
* ``bzr plugins`` now lists the version number for each plugin in square
3602
brackets after the path. (Robert Collins, #125421)
3604
* Pushing, pulling and branching branches with subtree references was not
3605
copying the subtree weave, preventing the file graph from being accessed
3606
and causing errors in commits in clones. (Robert Collins)
3608
* Suppress warning "integer argument expected, got float" from Paramiko,
3609
which sometimes caused false test failures. (Martin Pool)
3611
* Fix bug in bundle 4 that could cause attempts to write data to wrong
3612
versionedfile. (Aaron Bentley)
3614
* Diffs generated using "diff -p" no longer break the patch parser.
3617
* get_transport treats an empty possible_transports list the same as a non-
3618
empty one. (Aaron Bentley)
3620
* patch verification for merge directives is reactivated, and works with
3621
CRLF and CR files. (Aaron Bentley)
3623
* Accept ..\ as a path in revision specifiers. This fixes for example
3624
"-r branch:..\other-branch" on Windows. (Lukáš Lalinský)
3626
* ``BZR_PLUGIN_PATH`` may now contain trailing slashes.
3627
(Blake Winton, #129299)
3629
* man page no longer lists hidden options (#131667, Aaron Bentley)
3631
* ``uncommit --help`` now explains the -r option adequately. (Daniel
3634
* Error messages are now better formatted with parameters (such as
3635
filenames) quoted when necessary. This avoids confusion when directory
3636
names ending in a '.' at the end of messages were confused with a
3637
full stop that may or not have been there. (Daniel Watkins, #129791)
3639
* Fix ``status FILE -r X..Y``. (Lukáš Lalinský)
3641
* If a particular command is an alias, ``help`` will show the alias
3642
instead of claiming there is no help for said alias. (Daniel Watkins,
3645
* TreeTransform-based operations, like pull, merge, revert, and branch,
3646
now roll back if they encounter an error. (Aaron Bentley, #67699)
3648
* ``bzr commit`` now exits cleanly if a character unsupported by the
3649
current encoding is used in the commit message. (Daniel Watkins,
3652
* bzr send uses default values for ranges when only half of an elipsis
3653
is specified ("-r..5" or "-r5.."). (#61685, Aaron Bentley)
3655
* Avoid trouble when Windows ssh calls itself 'plink' but no plink
3656
binary is present. (Martin Albisetti, #107155)
3658
* ``bzr remove`` should remove clean subtrees. Now it will remove (without
3659
needing ``--force``) subtrees that contain no files with text changes or
3660
modified files. With ``--force`` it removes the subtree regardless of
3661
text changes or unknown files. Directories with renames in or out (but
3662
not changed otherwise) will now be removed without needing ``--force``.
3663
Unknown ignored files will be deleted without needing ``--force``.
3664
(Marius Kruger, #111665)
3666
* When two plugins conflict, the source of both the losing and now the
3667
winning definition is shown. (Konstantin Mikhaylov, #5454)
3669
* When committing to a branch, the location being committed to is
3670
displayed. (Daniel Watkins, #52479)
3672
* ``bzr --version`` takes care about encoding of stdout, especially
3673
when output is redirected. (Alexander Belchenko, #131100)
3675
* Prompt for an ftp password if none is provided.
3676
(Vincent Ladeuil, #137044)
3678
* Reuse bound branch associated transport to avoid multiple
3680
(Vincent Ladeuil, #128076, #131396)
3682
* Overwrite conflicting tags by ``push`` and ``pull`` if the
3683
``--overwrite`` option is specified. (Lukáš Lalinský, #93947)
3685
* In checkouts, tags are copied into the master branch when created,
3686
changed or deleted, and are copied into the checkout when it is
3687
updated. (Martin Pool, #93856, #93860)
3689
* Print a warning instead of aborting the ``python setup.py install``
3690
process if building of a C extension is not possible.
3691
(Lukáš Lalinský, Alexander Belchenko)
3695
* Add the option "--show-diff" to the commit command in order to display
3696
the diff during the commit log creation. (Goffredo Baroncelli)
3698
* ``pull`` and ``merge`` are much faster at installing bundle format 4.
3701
* ``pull -v`` no longer includes deltas, making it much faster.
3704
* ``send`` now sends the directive as an attachment by default.
3705
(Aaron Bentley, Lukáš Lalinský, Alexander Belchenko)
3707
* Documentation updates (Martin Albisetti)
3709
* Help on debug flags is now included in ``help global-options``.
3710
(Daniel Watkins, #124853)
3712
* Parameters passed on the command line are checked to ensure they are
3713
supported by the encoding in use. (Daniel Watkins)
3715
* The compression used within the bzr repository has changed from zlib
3716
level 9 to the zlib default level. This improves commit performance with
3717
only a small increase in space used (and in some cases a reduction in
3718
space). (Robert Collins)
3720
* Initial commit no longer SHAs files twice and now reuses the path
3721
rather than looking it up again, making it faster.
3724
* New option ``-c``/``--change`` for ``diff`` and ``status`` to show
3725
changes in one revision. (Lukáš Lalinský)
3727
* If versioned files match a given ignore pattern, a warning is now
3728
given. (Daniel Watkins, #48623)
3730
* ``bzr status`` now has -S as a short name for --short and -V as a
3731
short name for --versioned. These have been added to assist users
3732
migrating from Subversion: ``bzr status -SV`` is now like
3733
``svn status -q``. (Daniel Watkins, #115990)
3735
* Added C implementation of ``PatienceSequenceMatcher``, which is about
3736
10x faster than the Python version. This speeds up commands that
3737
need file diffing, such as ``bzr commit`` or ``bzr diff``.
3740
* HACKING has been extended with a large section on core developer tasks.
3743
* Add ``branches`` and ``standalone-trees`` as online help topics and
3744
include them as Concepts within the User Reference.
3745
(Paul Moore, Ian Clatworthy)
3747
* ``check`` can detect versionedfile parent references that are
3748
inconsistent with revision and inventory info, and ``reconcile`` can fix
3749
them. These faulty references were generated by 0.8-era releases,
3750
so repositories which were manipulated by old bzrs should be
3751
checked, and possibly reconciled ASAP. (Aaron Bentley, Andrew Bennetts)
3755
* ``Branch.append_revision`` is removed altogether; please use
3756
``Branch.set_last_revision_info`` instead. (Martin Pool)
3758
* CommitBuilder now advertises itself as requiring the root entry to be
3759
supplied. This only affects foreign repository implementations which reuse
3760
CommitBuilder directly and have changed record_entry_contents to require
3761
that the root not be supplied. This should be precisely zero plugins
3762
affected. (Robert Collins)
3764
* The ``add_lines`` methods on ``VersionedFile`` implementations has changed
3765
its return value to include the sha1 and length of the inserted text. This
3766
allows the avoidance of double-sha1 calculations during commit.
3769
* ``Transport.should_cache`` has been removed. It was not called in the
3770
previous release. (Martin Pool)
3774
* Tests may now raise TestNotApplicable to indicate they shouldn't be
3775
run in a particular scenario. (Martin Pool)
3777
* New function multiply_tests_from_modules to give a simpler interface
3778
to test parameterization. (Martin Pool, Robert Collins)
3780
* ``Transport.should_cache`` has been removed. It was not called in the
3781
previous release. (Martin Pool)
3783
* NULL_REVISION is returned to indicate the null revision, not None.
3786
* Use UTF-8 encoded StringIO for log tests to avoid failures on
3787
non-ASCII committer names. (Lukáš Lalinský)
3791
* ``bzrlib.plugin.all_plugins`` has been deprecated in favour of
3792
``bzrlib.plugin.plugins()`` which returns PlugIn objects that provide
3793
useful functionality for determining the path of a plugin, its tests, and
3794
its version information. (Robert Collins)
3796
* Add the option user_encoding to the function 'show_diff_trees()'
3797
in order to move the user encoding at the UI level. (Goffredo Baroncelli)
3799
* Add the function make_commit_message_template_encoded() and the function
3800
edit_commit_message_encoded() which handle encoded strings.
3801
This is done in order to mix the commit messages (which is a unicode
3802
string), and the diff which is a raw string. (Goffredo Baroncelli)
3804
* CommitBuilder now defaults to using add_lines_with_ghosts, reducing
3805
overhead on non-weave repositories which don't require all parents to be
3806
present. (Robert Collins)
3808
* Deprecated method ``find_previous_heads`` on
3809
``bzrlib.inventory.InventoryEntry``. This has been superseded by the use
3810
of ``parent_candidates`` and a separate heads check via the repository
3811
API. (Robert Collins)
3813
* New trace function ``mutter_callsite`` will print out a subset of the
3814
stack to the log, which can be useful for gathering debug details.
3817
* ``bzrlib.pack.ContainerWriter`` now tracks how many records have been
3818
added via a public attribute records_written. (Robert Collins)
3820
* New method ``bzrlib.transport.Transport.get_recommended_page_size``.
3821
This provides a hint to users of transports as to the reasonable
3822
minimum data to read. In principle this can take latency and
3823
bandwidth into account on a per-connection basis, but for now it
3824
just has hard coded values based on the url. (e.g. http:// has a large
3825
page size, file:// has a small one.) (Robert Collins)
3827
* New method on ``bzrlib.transport.Transport`` ``open_write_stream`` allows
3828
incremental addition of data to a file without requiring that all the
3829
data be buffered in memory. (Robert Collins)
3831
* New methods on ``bzrlib.knit.KnitVersionedFile``:
3832
``get_data_stream(versions)``, ``insert_data_stream(stream)`` and
3833
``get_format_signature()``. These provide some infrastructure for
3834
efficiently streaming the knit data for a set of versions over the smart
3837
* Knits with no annotation cache still produce correct annotations.
3840
* Three new methods have been added to ``bzrlib.trace``:
3841
``set_verbosity_level``, ``get_verbosity_level`` and ``is_verbose``.
3842
``set_verbosity_level`` expects a numeric value: negative for quiet,
3843
zero for normal, positive for verbose. The size of the number can be
3844
used to determine just how quiet or verbose the application should be.
3845
The existing ``be_quiet`` and ``is_quiet`` routines have been
3846
integrated into this new scheme. (Ian Clatworthy)
3848
* Options can now be delcared with a ``custom_callback`` parameter. If
3849
set, this routine is called after the option is processed. This feature
3850
is now used by the standard options ``verbose`` and ``quiet`` so that
3851
setting one implicitly resets the other. (Ian Clatworthy)
3853
* Rather than declaring a new option from scratch in order to provide
3854
custom help, a centrally registered option can be decorated using the
3855
new ``bzrlib.Option.custom_help`` routine. In particular, this routine
3856
is useful when declaring better help for the ``verbose`` and ``quiet``
3857
standard options as the base definition of these is now more complex
3858
than before thanks to their use of a custom callback. (Ian Clatworthy)
3860
* Tree._iter_changes(specific_file=[]) now iterates through no files,
3861
instead of iterating through all files. None is used to iterate through
3862
all files. (Aaron Bentley)
3864
* WorkingTree.revert() now accepts None to revert all files. The use of
3865
[] to revert all files is deprecated. (Aaron Bentley)
3873
* Documentation is now organized into multiple directories with a level
3874
added for different languages or locales. Added the Mini Tutorial
3875
and Quick Start Summary (en) documents from the Wiki, improving the
3876
content and readability of the former. Formatted NEWS as Release Notes
3877
complete with a Table of Conents, one heading per release. Moved the
3878
Developer Guide into the main document catalog and provided a link
3879
from the developer document catalog back to the main one.
3880
(Ian Clatworthy, Sabin Iacob, Alexander Belchenko)
3885
* The static convenience method ``BzrDir.create_repository``
3886
is deprecated. Callers should instead create a ``BzrDir`` instance
3887
and call ``create_repository`` on that. (Martin Pool)
3890
bzr 0.90rc1 2007-08-14
3891
----------------------
3895
* ``bzr init`` should connect to the remote location one time only. We
3896
have been connecting several times because we forget to pass around the
3897
Transport object. This modifies ``BzrDir.create_branch_convenience``,
3898
so that we can give it the Transport we already have.
3899
(John Arbash Meinel, Vincent Ladeuil, #111702)
3901
* Get rid of sftp connection cache (get rid of the FTP one too).
3902
(Vincent Ladeuil, #43731)
3904
* bzr branch {local|remote} remote don't try to create a working tree
3906
(Vincent Ladeuil, #112173)
3908
* All identified multiple connections for a single bzr command have been
3909
fixed. See bzrlib/tests/commands directory.
3912
* ``bzr rm`` now does not insist on ``--force`` to delete files that
3913
have been renamed but not otherwise modified. (Marius Kruger,
3916
* ``bzr selftest --bench`` no longer emits deprecation warnings
3919
* ``bzr status`` now honours FILE parameters for conflict lists
3920
(Aaron Bentley, #127606)
3922
* ``bzr checkout`` now honours -r when reconstituting a working tree.
3923
It also honours -r 0. (Aaron Bentley, #127708)
3925
* ``bzr add *`` no more fails on Windows if working tree contains
3926
non-ascii file names. (Kuno Meyer, #127361)
3928
* allow ``easy_install bzr`` runs without fatal errors.
3929
(Alexander Belchenko, #125521)
3931
* Graph._filter_candidate_lca does not raise KeyError if a candidate
3932
is eliminated just before it would normally be examined. (Aaron Bentley)
3934
* SMTP connection failures produce a nice message, not a traceback.
3939
* Don't show "dots" progress indicators when run non-interactively, such
3940
as from cron. (Martin Pool)
3942
* ``info`` now formats locations more nicely and lists "submit" and
3943
"public" branches (Aaron Bentley)
3945
* New ``pack`` command that will trigger database compression within
3946
the repository (Robert Collins)
3948
* Implement ``_KnitIndex._load_data`` in a pyrex extension. The pyrex
3949
version is approximately 2-3x faster at parsing a ``.kndx`` file.
3950
Which yields a measurable improvement for commands which have to
3951
read from the repository, such as a 1s => 0.75s improvement in
3952
``bzr diff`` when there are changes to be shown. (John Arbash Meinel)
3954
* Merge is now faster. Depending on the scenario, it can be more than 2x
3955
faster. (Aaron Bentley)
3957
* Give a clearer warning, and allow ``python setup.py install`` to
3958
succeed even if pyrex is not available.
3959
(John Arbash Meinel)
3961
* ``DirState._read_dirblocks`` now has an optional Pyrex
3962
implementation. This improves the speed of any command that has to
3963
read the entire DirState. (``diff``, ``status``, etc, improve by
3965
``bisect_dirblocks`` has also been improved, which helps all
3966
``_get_entry`` type calls (whenever we are searching for a
3967
particular entry in the in-memory DirState).
3968
(John Arbash Meinel)
3970
* ``bzr pull`` and ``bzr push`` no longer do a complete walk of the
3971
branch revision history for ui display unless -v is supplied.
3974
* ``bzr log -rA..B`` output shifted to the left margin if the log only
3975
contains merge revisions. (Kent Gibson)
3977
* The ``plugins`` command is now public with improved help.
3980
* New bundle and merge directive formats are faster to generate, and
3982
* Annotate merge now works when there are local changes. (Aaron Bentley)
3984
* Commit now only shows the progress in terms of directories instead of
3985
entries. (Ian Clatworthy)
3987
* Fix ``KnitRepository.get_revision_graph`` to not request the graph 2
3988
times. This makes ``get_revision_graph`` 2x faster. (John Arbash
3991
* Fix ``VersionedFile.get_graph()`` to avoid using
3992
``set.difference_update(other)``, which has bad scaling when
3993
``other`` is large. This improves ``VF.get_graph([version_id])`` for
3994
a 12.5k graph from 2.9s down to 200ms. (John Arbash Meinel)
3996
* The ``--lsprof-file`` option now generates output for KCacheGrind if
3997
the file starts with ``callgrind.out``. This matches the default file
3998
filtering done by KCacheGrind's Open Dialog. (Ian Clatworthy)
4000
* Fix ``bzr update`` to avoid an unnecessary
4001
``branch.get_master_branch`` call, which avoids 1 extra connection
4002
to the remote server. (Partial fix for #128076, John Arbash Meinel)
4004
* Log errors from the smart server in the trace file, to make debugging
4005
test failures (and live failures!) easier. (Andrew Bennetts)
4007
* The HTML version of the man page has been superceded by a more
4008
comprehensive manual called the Bazaar User Reference. This manual
4009
is completed generated from the online help topics. As part of this
4010
change, limited reStructuredText is now explicitly supported in help
4011
topics and command help with 'unnatural' markup being removed prior
4012
to display by the online help or inclusion in the man page.
4015
* HTML documentation now use files extension ``*.html``
4016
(Alexander Belchenko)
4018
* The cache of ignore definitions is now cleared in WorkingTree.unlock()
4019
so that changes to .bzrignore aren't missed. (#129694, Daniel Watkins)
4021
* ``bzr selftest --strict`` fails if there are any missing features or
4022
expected test failures. (Daniel Watkins, #111914)
4024
* Link to registration survey added to README. (Ian Clatworthy)
4026
* Windows standalone installer show link to registration survey
4027
when installation finished. (Alexander Belchenko)
4031
* Deprecated dictionary ``bzrlib.option.SHORT_OPTIONS`` removed.
4032
Options are now required to provide a help string and it must
4033
comply with the style guide by being one or more sentences with an
4034
initial capital and final period. (Martin Pool)
4036
* KnitIndex.get_parents now returns tuples. (Robert Collins)
4038
* Ancient unused ``Repository.text_store`` attribute has been removed.
4041
* The ``bzrlib.pack`` interface has changed to use tuples of bytestrings
4042
rather than just bytestrings, making it easier to represent multiple
4043
element names. As this interface was not used by any internal facilities
4044
since it was introduced in 0.18 no API compatibility is being preserved.
4045
The serialised form of these packs is identical with 0.18 when a single
4046
element tuple is in use. (Robert Collins)
4050
* merge now uses ``iter_changes`` to calculate changes, which makes room for
4051
future performance increases. It is also more consistent with other
4052
operations that perform comparisons, and reduces reliance on
4053
Tree.inventory. (Aaron Bentley)
4055
* Refactoring of transport classes connected to a remote server.
4056
ConnectedTransport is a new class that serves as a basis for all
4057
transports needing to connect to a remote server. transport.split_url
4058
have been deprecated, use the static method on the object instead. URL
4059
tests have been refactored too.
4062
* Better connection sharing for ConnectedTransport objects.
4063
transport.get_transport() now accepts a 'possible_transports' parameter.
4064
If a newly requested transport can share a connection with one of the
4068
* Most functions now accept ``bzrlib.revision.NULL_REVISION`` to indicate
4069
the null revision, and consider using ``None`` for this purpose
4070
deprecated. (Aaron Bentley)
4072
* New ``index`` module with abstract index functionality. This will be
4073
used during the planned changes in the repository layer. Currently the
4074
index layer provides a graph aware immutable index, a builder for the
4075
same index type to allow creating them, and finally a composer for
4076
such indices to allow the use of many indices in a single query. The
4077
index performance is not optimised, however the API is stable to allow
4078
development on top of the index. (Robert Collins)
4080
* ``bzrlib.dirstate.cmp_by_dirs`` can be used to compare two paths by
4081
their directory sections. This is equivalent to comparing
4082
``path.split('/')``, only without having to split the paths.
4083
This has a Pyrex implementation available.
4084
(John Arbash Meinel)
4086
* New transport decorator 'unlistable+' which disables the list_dir
4087
functionality for testing.
4089
* Deprecated ``change_entry`` in transform.py. (Ian Clatworthy)
4091
* RevisionTree.get_weave is now deprecated. Tree.plan_merge is now used
4092
for performing annotate-merge. (Aaron Bentley)
4094
* New EmailMessage class to create email messages. (Adeodato Simó)
4096
* Unused functions on the private interface KnitIndex have been removed.
4099
* New ``knit.KnitGraphIndex`` which provides a ``KnitIndex`` layered on top
4100
of a ``index.GraphIndex``. (Robert Collins)
4102
* New ``knit.KnitVersionedFile.iter_parents`` method that allows querying
4103
the parents of many knit nodes at once, reducing round trips to the
4104
underlying index. (Robert Collins)
4106
* Graph now has an is_ancestor method, various bits use it.
4109
* The ``-Dhpss`` flag now includes timing information. As well as
4110
logging when a new connection is opened. (John Arbash Meinel)
4112
* ``bzrlib.pack.ContainerWriter`` now returns an offset, length tuple to
4113
callers when inserting data, allowing generation of readv style access
4114
during pack creation, without needing a separate pass across the output
4115
pack to gather such details. (Robert Collins)
4117
* ``bzrlib.pack.make_readv_reader`` allows readv based access to pack
4118
files that are stored on a transport. (Robert Collins)
4120
* New ``Repository.has_same_location`` method that reports if two
4121
repository objects refer to the same repository (although with some risk
4122
of false negatives). (Andrew Bennetts)
4124
* InterTree.compare now passes require_versioned on correctly.
4127
* New methods on Repository - ``start_write_group``,
4128
``commit_write_group``, ``abort_write_group`` and ``is_in_write_group`` -
4129
which provide a clean hook point for transactional Repositories - ones
4130
where all the data for a fetch or commit needs to be made atomically
4131
available in one step. This allows the write lock to remain while making
4132
a series of data insertions. (e.g. data conversion). (Robert Collins)
4134
* In ``bzrlib.knit`` the internal interface has been altered to use
4135
3-tuples (index, pos, length) rather than two-tuples (pos, length) to
4136
describe where data in a knit is, allowing knits to be split into
4137
many files. (Robert Collins)
4139
* ``bzrlib.knit._KnitData`` split into cache management and physical access
4140
with two access classes - ``_PackAccess`` and ``_KnitAccess`` defined.
4141
The former provides access into a .pack file, and the latter provides the
4142
current production repository form of .knit files. (Robert Collins)
4146
* Remove selftest ``--clean-output``, ``--numbered-dirs`` and
4147
``--keep-output`` options, which are obsolete now that tests
4148
are done within directories in $TMPDIR. (Martin Pool)
4150
* The SSH_AUTH_SOCK environment variable is now reset to avoid
4151
interaction with any running ssh agents. (Jelmer Vernooij, #125955)
4153
* run_bzr_subprocess handles parameters the same way as run_bzr:
4154
either a string or a list of strings should be passed as the first
4155
parameter. Varargs-style parameters are deprecated. (Aaron Bentley)
4159
--------------------
4163
* Fix 'bzr add' crash under Win32 (Kuno Meyer)
4166
bzr 0.18rc1 2007-07-10
4167
-----------------------
4171
* Do not suppress pipe errors, etc. in non-display commands
4172
(Alexander Belchenko, #87178)
4174
* Display a useful error message when the user requests to annotate
4175
a file that is not present in the specified revision.
4176
(James Westby, #122656)
4178
* Commands that use status flags now have a reference to 'help
4179
status-flags'. (Daniel Watkins, #113436)
4181
* Work around python-2.4.1 inhability to correctly parse the
4182
authentication header.
4183
(Vincent Ladeuil, #121889)
4185
* Use exact encoding for merge directives. (Adeodato Simó, #120591)
4187
* Fix tempfile permissions error in smart server tar bundling under
4188
Windows. (Martin _, #119330)
4190
* Fix detection of directory entries in the inventory. (James Westby)
4192
* Fix handling of http code 400: Bad Request When issuing too many ranges.
4193
(Vincent Ladeuil, #115209)
4195
* Issue a CONNECT request when connecting to an https server
4196
via a proxy to enable SSL tunneling.
4197
(Vincent Ladeuil, #120678)
4199
* Fix ``bzr log -r`` to support selecting merge revisions, both
4200
individually and as part of revision ranges.
4201
(Kent Gibson, #4663)
4203
* Don't leave cruft behind when failing to acquire a lockdir.
4204
(Martin Pool, #109169)
4206
* Don't use the '-f' strace option during tests.
4207
(Vincent Ladeuil, #102019).
4209
* Warn when setting ``push_location`` to a value that will be masked by
4210
locations.conf. (Aaron Bentley, #122286)
4212
* Fix commit ordering in corner case (Aaron Bentley, #94975)
4214
* Make annotate behave in a non-ASCII world (Adeodato Simó).
4218
* The --lsprof-file option now dumps a text rendering of the profiling
4219
information if the filename ends in ".txt". It will also convert the
4220
profiling information to a format suitable for KCacheGrind if the
4221
output filename ends in ".callgrind". Fixes to the lsprofcalltree
4222
conversion process by Jean Paul Calderone and Itamar were also merged.
4223
See http://ddaa.net/blog/python/lsprof-calltree. (Ian Clatworthy)
4225
* ``info`` now defaults to non-verbose mode, displaying only paths and
4226
abbreviated format info. ``info -v`` displays all the information
4227
formerly displayed by ``info``. (Aaron Bentley, Adeodato Simó)
4229
* ``bzr missing`` now has better option names ``--this`` and ``--other``.
4232
* The internal ``weave-list`` command has become ``versionedfile-list``,
4233
and now lists knits as well as weaves. (Aaron Bentley)
4235
* Automatic merge base selection uses a faster algorithm that chooses
4236
better bases in criss-cross merge situations (Aaron Bentley)
4238
* Progress reporting in ``commit`` has been improved. The various logical
4239
stages are now reported on as follows, namely:
4241
* Collecting changes [Entry x/y] - Stage n/m
4242
* Saving data locally - Stage n/m
4243
* Uploading data to master branch - Stage n/m
4244
* Updating the working tree - Stage n/m
4245
* Running post commit hooks - Stage n/m
4247
If there is no master branch, the 3rd stage is omitted and the total
4248
number of stages is adjusted accordingly.
4250
Each hook that is run after commit is listed with a name (as hooks
4251
can be slow it is useful feedback).
4252
(Ian Clatworthy, Robert Collins)
4254
* Various operations that are now faster due to avoiding unnecessary
4255
topological sorts. (Aaron Bentley)
4257
* Make merge directives robust against broken bundles. (Aaron Bentley)
4259
* The lsprof filename note is emitted via trace.note(), not standard
4260
output. (Aaron Bentley)
4262
* ``bzrlib`` now exports explicit API compatibility information to assist
4263
library users and plugins. See the ``bzrlib.api`` module for details.
4266
* Remove unnecessary lock probes when acquiring a lockdir.
4269
* ``bzr --version`` now shows the location of the bzr log file, which
4270
is especially useful on Windows. (Martin Pool)
4272
* -D now supports hooks to get debug tracing of hooks (though its currently
4273
minimal in nature). (Robert Collins)
4275
* Long log format reports deltas on merge revisions.
4276
(John Arbash Meinel, Kent Gibson)
4278
* Make initial push over ftp more resilient. (John Arbash Meinel)
4280
* Print a summary of changes for update just like pull does.
4281
(Daniel Watkins, #113990)
4283
* Add a -Dhpss option to trace smart protocol requests and responses.
4288
* Testing cleanups -
4289
``bzrlib.repository.RepositoryTestProviderAdapter`` has been moved
4290
to ``bzrlib.tests.repository_implementations``;
4291
``bzrlib.repository.InterRepositoryTestProviderAdapter`` has been moved
4292
to ``bzrlib.tests.interrepository_implementations``;
4293
``bzrlib.transport.TransportTestProviderAdapter`` has moved to
4294
``bzrlib.tests.test_transport_implementations``.
4295
``bzrlib.branch.BranchTestProviderAdapter`` has moved to
4296
``bzrlib.tests.branch_implementations``.
4297
``bzrlib.bzrdir.BzrDirTestProviderAdapter`` has moved to
4298
``bzrlib.tests.bzrdir_implementations``.
4299
``bzrlib.versionedfile.InterVersionedFileTestProviderAdapter`` has moved
4300
to ``bzrlib.tests.interversionedfile_implementations``.
4301
``bzrlib.store.revision.RevisionStoreTestProviderAdapter`` has moved to
4302
``bzrlib.tests.revisionstore_implementations``.
4303
``bzrlib.workingtree.WorkingTreeTestProviderAdapter`` has moved to
4304
``bzrlib.tests.workingtree_implementations``.
4305
These changes are an API break in the testing infrastructure only.
4308
* Relocate TestCaseWithRepository to be more central. (Robert Collins)
4310
* ``bzrlib.add.smart_add_tree`` will no longer perform glob expansion on
4311
win32. Callers of the function should do this and use the new
4312
``MutableTree.smart_add`` method instead. (Robert Collins)
4314
* ``bzrlib.add.glob_expand_for_win32`` is now
4315
``bzrlib.win32utils.glob_expand``. (Robert Collins)
4317
* ``bzrlib.add.FastPath`` is now private and moved to
4318
``bzrlib.mutabletree._FastPath``. (Robert Collins, Martin Pool)
4320
* ``LockDir.wait`` removed. (Martin Pool)
4322
* The ``SmartServer`` hooks API has changed for the ``server_started`` and
4323
``server_stopped`` hooks. The first parameter is now an iterable of
4324
backing URLs rather than a single URL. This is to reflect that many
4325
URLs may map to the external URL of the server. E.g. the server interally
4326
may have a chrooted URL but also the local file:// URL will be at the
4327
same location. (Robert Collins)
4331
* New SMTPConnection class to unify email handling. (Adeodato Simó)
4333
* Fix documentation of BzrError. (Adeodato Simó)
4335
* Make BzrBadParameter an internal error. (Adeodato Simó)
4337
* Remove use of 'assert False' to raise an exception unconditionally.
4340
* Give a cleaner error when failing to decode knit index entry.
4343
* TreeConfig would mistakenly search the top level when asked for options
4344
from a section. It now respects the section argument and only
4345
searches the specified section. (James Westby)
4347
* Improve ``make api-docs`` output. (John Arbash Meinel)
4349
* Use os.lstat rather than os.stat for osutils.make_readonly and
4350
osutils.make_writeable. This makes the difftools plugin more
4351
robust when dangling symlinks are found. (Elliot Murphy)
4353
* New ``-Dlock`` option to log (to ~/.bzr.log) information on when
4354
lockdirs are taken or released. (Martin Pool)
4356
* ``bzrlib`` Hooks are now nameable using ``Hooks.name_hook``. This
4357
allows a nicer UI when hooks are running as the current hook can
4358
be displayed. (Robert Collins)
4360
* ``Transport.get`` has had its interface made more clear for ease of use.
4361
Retrieval of a directory must now fail with either 'PathError' at open
4362
time, or raise 'ReadError' on a read. (Robert Collins)
4364
* New method ``_maybe_expand_globs`` on the ``Command`` class for
4365
dealing with unexpanded glob lists - e.g. on the win32 platform. This
4366
was moved from ``bzrlib.add._prepare_file_list``. (Robert Collins)
4368
* ``bzrlib.add.smart_add`` and ``bzrlib.add.smart_add_tree`` are now
4369
deprecated in favour of ``MutableTree.smart_add``. (Robert Collins,
4372
* New method ``external_url`` on Transport for obtaining the url to
4373
hand to external processes. (Robert Collins)
4375
* Teach windows installers to build pyrex/C extensions.
4376
(Alexander Belchenko)
4380
* Removed the ``--keep-output`` option from selftest and clean up test
4381
directories as they're used. This reduces the IO load from
4382
running the test suite and cuts the time by about half.
4383
(Andrew Bennetts, Martin Pool)
4385
* Add scenarios as a public attribute on the TestAdapter classes to allow
4386
modification of the generated scenarios before adaption and easier
4387
testing. (Robert Collins)
4389
* New testing support class ``TestScenarioApplier`` which multiplies
4390
out a single teste by a list of supplied scenarios. (RobertCollins)
4392
* Setting ``repository_to_test_repository`` on a repository_implementations
4393
test will cause it to be called during repository creation, allowing the
4394
testing of repository classes which are not based around the Format
4395
concept. For example a repository adapter can be tested in this manner,
4396
by altering the repository scenarios to include a scenario that sets this
4397
attribute during the test parameterisation in
4398
``bzrlib.tests.repository.repository_implementations``. (Robert Collins)
4400
* Clean up many of the APIs for blackbox testing of Bazaar. The standard
4401
interface is now self.run_bzr. The command to run can be passed as
4402
either a list of parameters, a string containing the command line, or
4403
(deprecated) varargs parameters. (Martin Pool)
4405
* The base TestCase now isolates tests from -D parameters by clearing
4406
``debug.debug_flags`` and restores it afterwards. (Robert Collins)
4408
* Add a relpath parameter to get_transport methods in test framework to
4409
avoid useless cloning.
4410
(Vincent Ladeuil, #110448)
4414
--------------------
4418
* Fix crash of commit due to wrong lookup of filesystem encoding.
4419
(Colin Watson, #120647)
4421
* Revert logging just to stderr in commit as broke unicode filenames.
4422

4425
bzr 0.17rc1 2007-06-12
4426
-----------------------
4428
NOTES WHEN UPGRADING:
4430
* The kind() and is_executable() APIs on the WorkingTree interface no
4431
longer implicitly (read) locks and unlocks the tree. This *might*
4432
impact some plug-ins and tools using this part of the API. If you find
4433
an issue that may be caused by this change, please let us know,
4434
particularly the plug-in/tool maintainer. If encountered, the API
4435
fix is to surround kind() and is_executable() calls with lock_read()
4436
and unlock() like so::
4438
work_tree.lock_read()
4440
kind = work_tree.kind(...)
4445
* Rework of LogFormatter API to provide beginning/end of log hooks and to
4446
encapsulate the details of the revision to be logged in a LogRevision
4448
In long log formats, merge revision ids are only shown when --show-ids
4449
is specified, and are labelled "revision-id:", as per mainline
4450
revisions, instead of "merged:". (Kent Gibson)
4452
* New ``BranchBuilder`` API which allows the construction of particular
4453
histories quickly. Useful for testing and potentially other applications
4454
too. (Robert Collins)
4458
* There are two new help topics, working-trees and repositories that
4459
attempt to explain these concepts. (James Westby, John Arbash Meinel,
4462
* Added ``bzr log --limit`` to report a limited number of revisions.
4463
(Kent Gibson, #3659)
4465
* Revert does not try to preserve file contents that were originally
4466
produced by reverting to a historical revision. (Aaron Bentley)
4468
* ``bzr log --short`` now includes ``[merge]`` for revisions which
4469
have more than one parent. This is a small improvement to help
4470
understanding what changes have occurred
4471
(John Arbash Meinel, #83887)
4473
* TreeTransform avoids many renames when contructing large trees,
4474
improving speed. 3.25x speedups have been observed for construction of
4475
kernel-sized-trees, and checkouts are 1.28x faster. (Aaron Bentley)
4477
* Commit on large trees is now faster. In my environment, a commit of
4478
a small change to the Mozilla tree (55k files) has dropped from
4479
66 seconds to 32 seconds. For a small tree of 600 files, commit of a
4480
small change is 33% faster. (Ian Clatworthy)
4482
* New --create-prefix option to bzr init, like for push. (Daniel Watkins,
4487
* ``bzr push`` should only connect to the remote location one time.
4488
We have been connecting 3 times because we forget to pass around
4489
the Transport object. This adds ``BzrDir.clone_on_transport()``, so
4490
that we can pass in the Transport that we already have.
4491
(John Arbash Meinel, #75721)
4493
* ``DirState.set_state_from_inventory()`` needs to properly order
4494
based on split paths, not just string paths.
4495
(John Arbash Meinel, #115947)
4497
* Let TestUIFactoy encode the password prompt with its own stdout.
4498
(Vincent Ladeuil, #110204)
4500
* pycurl should take use the range header that takes the range hint
4502
(Vincent Ladeuil, #112719)
4504
* WorkingTree4.get_file_sha1 no longer raises an exception when invoked
4505
on a missing file. (Aaron Bentley, #118186)
4507
* WorkingTree.remove works correctly with tree references, and when pwd is
4508
not the tree root. (Aaron Bentley)
4510
* Merge no longer fails when a file is renamed in one tree and deleted
4511
in the other. (Aaron Bentley, #110279)
4513
* ``revision-info`` now accepts dotted revnos, doesn't require a tree,
4514
and defaults to the last revision (Matthew Fuller, #90048)
4516
* Tests no longer fail when BZR_REMOTE_PATH is set in the environment.
4517
(Daniel Watkins, #111958)
4519
* ``bzr branch -r revid:foo`` can be used to branch any revision in
4520
your repository. (Previously Branch6 only supported revisions in your
4521
mainline). (John Arbash Meinel, #115343)
4524
--------------------
4528
* Handle when you have 2 directories with similar names, but one has a
4529
hyphen. (``'abc'`` versus ``'abc-2'``). The WT4._iter_changes
4530
iterator was using direct comparison and ``'abc/a'`` sorts after
4531
``'abc-2'``, but ``('abc', 'a')`` sorts before ``('abc-2',)``.
4532
(John Arbash Meinel, #111227)
4534
* Handle when someone renames a file on disk without telling bzr.
4535
Previously we would report the first file as missing, but not show
4536
the new unknown file. (John Arbash Meinel, #111288)
4538
* Avoid error when running hooks after pulling into or pushing from
4539
a branch bound to a smartserver branch. (Martin Pool, #111968)
4543
* Move developer documentation to doc/developers/. This reduces clutter in
4544
the root of the source tree and allows HACKING to be split into multiple
4545
files. (Robert Collins, Alexander Belchenko)
4547
* Clean up the ``WorkingTree4._iter_changes()`` internal loops as well as
4548
``DirState.update_entry()``. This optimizes the core logic for ``bzr
4549
diff`` and ``bzr status`` significantly improving the speed of
4550
both. (John Arbash Meinel)
4552
bzr 0.16rc2 2007-04-30
4553
-----------------------
4557
* Handle the case when you delete a file, and then rename another file
4558
on top of it. Also handle the case of ``bzr rm --keep foo``. ``bzr
4559
status`` should show the removed file and an unknown file in its
4560
place. (John Arbash Meinel, #109993)
4562
* Bundles properly read and write revision properties that have an
4563
empty value. And when the value is not ASCII.
4564
(John Arbash Meinel, #109613)
4566
* Fix the bzr commit message to be in text mode.
4567
(Alexander Belchenko, #110901)
4569
* Also handle when you rename a file and create a file where it used
4570
to be. (John Arbash Meinel, #110256)
4572
* ``WorkingTree4._iter_changes`` should not descend into unversioned
4573
directories. (John Arbash Meinel, #110399)
4575
bzr 0.16rc1 2007-04-26
4576
-----------------------
4578
NOTES WHEN UPGRADING:
4580
* ``bzr remove`` and ``bzr rm`` will now remove the working file, if
4581
it could be recovered again.
4582
This has been done for consistency with svn and the unix rm command.
4583
The old ``remove`` behaviour has been retained in the new option
4584
``bzr remove --keep``, which will just stop versioning the file,
4586
``bzr remove --force`` have been added which will always delete the
4588
``bzr remove`` is also more verbose.
4589
(Marius Kruger, #82602)
4593
* Merge directives can now be supplied as input to `merge` and `pull`,
4594
like bundles can. (Aaron Bentley)
4596
* Sending the SIGQUIT signal to bzr, which can be done on Unix by
4597
pressing Control-Backslash, drops bzr into a debugger. Type ``'c'``
4598
to continue. This can be disabled by setting the environment variable
4599
``BZR_SIGQUIT_PDB=0``. (Martin Pool)
4601
* selftest now supports --list-only to list tests instead of running
4602
them. (Ian Clatworthy)
4604
* selftest now supports --exclude PATTERN (or -x PATTERN) to exclude
4605
tests with names that match that regular expression.
4606
(Ian Clatworthy, #102679)
4608
* selftest now supports --randomize SEED to run tests in a random order.
4609
SEED is typically the value 'now' meaning 'use the current time'.
4610
(Ian Clatworthy, #102686)
4612
* New option ``--fixes`` to commit, which stores bug fixing annotations as
4613
revision properties. Built-in support for Launchpad, Debian, Trac and
4614
Bugzilla bug trackers. (Jonathan Lange, James Henstridge, Robert Collins)
4616
* New API, ``bzrlib.bugtracker.tracker_registry``, for adding support for
4617
other bug trackers to ``fixes``. (Jonathan Lange, James Henstridge,
4620
* ``selftest`` has new short options ``-f`` and ``-1``. (Martin
4623
* ``bzrlib.tsort.MergeSorter`` optimizations. Change the inner loop
4624
into using local variables instead of going through ``self._var``.
4625
Improves the time to ``merge_sort`` a 10k revision graph by
4626
approximately 40% (~700->400ms). (John Arbash Meinel)
4628
* ``make docs`` now creates a man page at ``man1/bzr.1`` fixing bug 107388.
4631
* ``bzr help`` now provides cross references to other help topics using
4632
the _see_also facility on command classes. Likewise the bzr_man
4633
documentation, and the bzr.1 man page also include this information.
4636
* Tags are now included in logs, that use the long log formatter.
4637
(Erik Bågfors, Alexander Belchenko)
4639
* ``bzr help`` provides a clearer message when a help topic cannot be
4640
found. (Robert Collins, #107656)
4642
* ``bzr help`` now accepts optional prefixes for command help. The help
4643
for all commands can now be found at ``bzr help commands/COMMANDNAME``
4644
as well as ``bzr help COMMANDNAME`` (which only works for commands
4645
where the name is not the same as a more general help topic).
4648
* ``bzr help PLUGINNAME`` will now return the module docstring from the
4649
plugin PLUGINNAME. (Robert Collins, #50408)
4651
* New help topic ``urlspec`` which lists the availables transports.
4652
(Goffredo Baroncelli)
4654
* doc/server.txt updated to document the default bzr:// port
4655
and also update the blurb about the hpss' current status.
4656
(Robert Collins, #107125).
4658
* ``bzr serve`` now listens on interface 0.0.0.0 by default, making it
4659
serve out to the local LAN (and anyone in the world that can reach the
4660
machine running ``bzr serve``. (Robert Collins, #98918)
4662
* A new smart server protocol version has been added. It prefixes requests
4663
and responses with an explicit version identifier so that future protocol
4664
revisions can be dealt with gracefully. (Andrew Bennetts, Robert Collins)
4666
* The bzr protocol version 2 indicates success or failure in every response
4667
without depending on particular commands encoding that consistently,
4668
allowing future client refactorings to be much more robust about error
4669
handling. (Robert Collins, Martin Pool, Andrew Bennetts)
4671
* The smart protocol over HTTP client has been changed to always post to the
4672
same ``.bzr/smart`` URL under the original location when it can. This allows
4673
HTTP servers to only have to pass URLs ending in .bzr/smart to the smart
4674
server handler, and not arbitrary ``.bzr/*/smart`` URLs. (Andrew Bennetts)
4676
* digest authentication is now supported for proxies and HTTP by the urllib
4677
based http implementation. Tested against Apache 2.0.55 and Squid
4678
2.6.5. Basic and digest authentication are handled coherently for HTTP
4679
and proxy: if the user is provided in the url (bzr command line for HTTP,
4680
proxy environment variables for proxies), the password is prompted for
4681
(only once). If the password is provided, it is taken into account. Once
4682
the first authentication is successful, all further authentication
4683
roundtrips are avoided by preventively setting the right authentication
4689
* bzrlib API compatability with 0.8 has been dropped, cleaning up some
4690
code paths. (Robert Collins)
4692
* Change the format of chroot urls so that they can be safely manipulated
4693
by generic url utilities without causing the resulting urls to have
4694
escaped the chroot. A side effect of this is that creating a chroot
4695
requires an explicit action using a ChrootServer.
4696
(Robert Collins, Andrew Bennetts)
4698
* Deprecate ``Branch.get_root_id()`` because branches don't have root ids,
4699
rather than fixing bug #96847. (Aaron Bentley)
4701
* ``WorkingTree.apply_inventory_delta`` provides a better alternative to
4702
``WorkingTree._write_inventory``. (Aaron Bentley)
4704
* Convenience method ``TestCase.expectFailure`` ensures that known failures
4705
do not silently pass. (Aaron Bentley)
4707
* ``Transport.local_abspath`` now raises ``NotLocalUrl`` rather than
4708
``TransportNotPossible``. (Martin Pool, Ian Clatworthy)
4710
* New SmartServer hooks facility. There are two initial hooks documented
4711
in ``bzrlib.transport.smart.SmartServerHooks``. The two initial hooks allow
4712
plugins to execute code upon server startup and shutdown.
4715
* SmartServer in standalone mode will now close its listening socket
4716
when it stops, rather than waiting for garbage collection. This primarily
4717
fixes test suite hangs when a test tries to connect to a shutdown server.
4718
It may also help improve behaviour when dealing with a server running
4719
on a specific port (rather than dynamically assigned ports).
4722
* Move most SmartServer code into a new package, bzrlib/smart.
4723
bzrlib/transport/remote.py contains just the Transport classes that used
4724
to be in bzrlib/transport/smart.py. (Andrew Bennetts)
4726
* urllib http implementation avoid roundtrips associated with
4727
401 (and 407) errors once the authentication succeeds.
4730
* urlib http now supports querying the user for a proxy password if
4731
needed. Realm is shown in the prompt for both HTTP and proxy
4732
authentication when the user is required to type a password.
4735
* Renamed SmartTransport (and subclasses like SmartTCPTransport) to
4736
RemoteTransport (and subclasses to RemoteTCPTransport, etc). This is more
4737
consistent with its new home in ``bzrlib/transport/remote.py``, and because
4738
it's not really a "smart" transport, just one that does file operations
4739
via remote procedure calls. (Andrew Bennetts)
4741
* The ``lock_write`` method of ``LockableFiles``, ``Repository`` and
4742
``Branch`` now accept a ``token`` keyword argument, so that separate
4743
instances of those objects can share a lock if it has the right token.
4744
(Andrew Bennetts, Robert Collins)
4746
* New method ``get_branch_reference`` on ``BzrDir`` allows the detection of
4747
branch references - which the smart server component needs.
4749
* The Repository API ``make_working_trees`` is now permitted to return
4750
False when ``set_make_working_trees`` is not implemented - previously
4751
an unimplemented ``set_make_working_trees`` implied the result True
4752
from ``make_working_trees``. This has been changed to accomodate the
4753
smart server, where it does not make sense (at this point) to ever
4754
make working trees by default. (Robert Collins)
4756
* Command objects can now declare related help topics by having _see_also
4757
set to a list of related topic. (Robert Collins)
4759
* ``bzrlib.help`` now delegates to the Command class for Command specific
4760
help. (Robert Collins)
4762
* New class ``TransportListRegistry``, derived from the Registry class, which
4763
simplifies tracking the available Transports. (Goffredo Baroncelli)
4765
* New function ``Branch.get_revision_id_to_revno_map`` which will
4766
return a dictionary mapping revision ids to dotted revnos. Since
4767
dotted revnos are defined in the context of the branch tip, it makes
4768
sense to generate them from a ``Branch`` object.
4769
(John Arbash Meinel)
4771
* Fix the 'Unprintable error' message display to use the repr of the
4772
exception that prevented printing the error because the str value
4773
for it is often not useful in debugging (e.g. KeyError('foo') has a
4774
str() of 'foo' but a repr of 'KeyError('foo')' which is much more
4775
useful. (Robert Collins)
4777
* ``urlutils.normalize_url`` now unescapes unreserved characters, such as "~".
4782
* Don't fail bundle selftest if email has 'two' embedded.
4783
(Ian Clatworthy, #98510)
4785
* Remove ``--verbose`` from ``bzr bundle``. It didn't work anyway.
4786
(Robert Widhopf-Fenk, #98591)
4788
* Remove ``--basis`` from the checkout/branch commands - it didn't work
4789
properly and is no longer beneficial.
4790
(Robert Collins, #53675, #43486)
4792
* Don't produce encoding error when adding duplicate files.
4795
* Fix ``bzr log <file>`` so it only logs the revisions that changed
4796
the file, and does it faster.
4797
(Kent Gibson, John Arbash Meinel, #51980, #69477)
4799
* Fix ``InterDirstateTre._iter_changes`` to handle when we come across
4800
an empty versioned directory, which now has files in it.
4801
(John Arbash Meinel, #104257)
4803
* Teach ``common_ancestor`` to shortcut when the tip of one branch is
4804
inside the ancestry of the other. Saves a lot of graph processing
4805
(with an ancestry of 16k revisions, ``bzr merge ../already-merged``
4806
changes from 2m10s to 13s). (John Arbash Meinel, #103757)
4808
* Fix ``show_diff_trees`` to handle the case when a file is modified,
4809
and the containing directory is renamed. (The file path is different
4810
in this versus base, but it isn't marked as a rename).
4811
(John Arbash Meinel, #103870)
4813
* FTP now works even when the FTP server does not support atomic rename.
4814
(Aaron Bentley, #89436)
4816
* Correct handling in bundles and merge directives of timezones with
4817
that are not an integer number of hours offset from UTC. Always
4818
represent the epoch time in UTC to avoid problems with formatting
4819
earlier times on win32. (Martin Pool, Alexander Belchenko, John
4822
* Typo in the help for ``register-branch`` fixed. (Robert Collins, #96770)
4824
* "dirstate" and "dirstate-tags" formats now produce branches compatible
4825
with old versions of bzr. (Aaron Bentley, #107168))
4827
* Handle moving a directory when children have been added, removed,
4828
and renamed. (John Arbash Meinel, #105479)
4830
* Don't preventively use basic authentication for proxy before receiving a
4831
407 error. Otherwise people willing to use other authentication schemes
4832
may expose their password in the clear (or nearly). This add one
4833
roundtrip in case basic authentication should be used, but plug the
4837
* Handle http and proxy digest authentication.
4838
(Vincent Ladeuil, #94034).
4842
* Added ``bzrlib.strace.strace`` which will strace a single callable and
4843
return a StraceResult object which contains just the syscalls involved
4844
in running it. (Robert Collins)
4846
* New test method ``reduceLockdirTimeout`` to drop the default (ui-centric)
4847
default time down to one suitable for tests. (Andrew Bennetts)
4849
* Add new ``vfs_transport_factory`` attribute on tests which provides the
4850
common vfs backing for both the readonly and readwrite transports.
4851
This allows the RemoteObject tests to back onto local disk or memory,
4852
and use the existing ``transport_server`` attribute all tests know about
4853
to be the smart server transport. This in turn allows tests to
4854
differentiate between 'transport to access the branch', and
4855
'transport which is a VFS' - which matters in Remote* tests.
4856
(Robert Collins, Andrew Bennetts)
4858
* The ``make_branch_and_tree`` method for tests will now create a
4859
lightweight checkout for the tree if the ``vfs_transport_factory`` is not
4860
a LocalURLServer. (Robert Collins, Andrew Bennetts)
4862
* Branch implementation tests have been audited to ensure that all urls
4863
passed to Branch APIs use proper urls, except when local-disk paths
4864
are intended. This is so that tests correctly access the test transport
4865
which is often not equivalent to local disk in Remote* tests. As part
4866
of this many tests were adjusted to remove dependencies on local disk
4868
(Robert Collins, Andrew Bennetts)
4870
* Mark bzrlib.tests and bzrlib.tests.TestUtil as providing assertFOO helper
4871
functions by adding a ``__unittest`` global attribute. (Robert Collins,
4872
Andrew Bennetts, Martin Pool, Jonathan Lange)
4874
* Refactored proxy and authentication handling to simplify the
4875
implementation of new auth schemes for both http and proxy.
4883
* Handle incompatible repositories as a user issue when fetching.
4886
* Don't give a recommendation to upgrade when branching or
4887
checking out a branch that contains an old-format working tree.
4890
bzr 0.15rc3 2007-03-26
4891
-----------------------
4895
* A warning is now displayed when opening working trees in older
4896
formats, to encourage people to upgrade to WorkingTreeFormat4.
4901
* HTTP redirections are now taken into account when a branch (or a
4902
bundle) is accessed for the first time. A message is issued at each
4903
redirection to inform the user. In the past, http redirections were
4904
silently followed for each request which significantly degraded the
4905
performances. The http redirections are not followed anymore by
4906
default, instead a RedirectRequested exception is raised. For bzrlib
4907
users needing to follow http redirections anyway,
4908
``bzrlib.transport.do_catching_redirections`` provide an easy transition
4913
* Added ``ReadLock.temporary_write_lock()`` to allow upgrading an OS read
4914
lock to an OS write lock. Linux can do this without unlocking, Win32
4915
needs to unlock in between. (John Arbash Meinel)
4917
* New parameter ``recommend_upgrade`` to ``BzrDir.open_workingtree``
4918
to silence (when false) warnings about opening old formats.
4921
* Fix minor performance regression with bzr-0.15 on pre-dirstate
4922
trees. (We were reading the working inventory too many times).
4923
(John Arbash Meinel)
4925
* Remove ``Branch.get_transaction()`` in favour of a simple cache of
4926
``revision_history``. Branch subclasses should override
4927
``_gen_revision_history`` rather than ``revision_history`` to make use of
4928
this cache, and call ``_clear_revision_history_cache`` and
4929
``_cache_revision_history`` at appropriate times. (Andrew Bennetts)
4933
* Take ``smtp_server`` from user config into account.
4936
* Restore Unicode filename handling for versioned and unversioned files.
4937
(John Arbash Meinel, #92608)
4939
* Don't fail during ``bzr commit`` if a file is marked removed, and
4940
the containing directory is auto-removed. (John Arbash Meinel, #93681)
4942
* ``bzr status FILENAME`` failed on Windows because of an uncommon
4943
errno. (``ERROR_DIRECTORY == 267 != ENOTDIR``).
4944
(Wouter van Heyst, John Arbash Meinel, #90819)
4946
* ``bzr checkout source`` should create a local branch in the same
4947
format as source. (John Arbash Meinel, #93854)
4949
* ``bzr commit`` with a kind change was failing to update the
4950
last-changed-revision for directories. The
4951
InventoryDirectory._unchanged only looked at the ``parent_id`` and name,
4952
ignoring the fact that the kind could have changed, too.
4953
(John Arbash Meinel, #90111)
4955
* ``bzr mv dir/subdir other`` was incorrectly updating files inside
4956
the directory. So that there was a chance it would break commit,
4957
etc. (John Arbash Meinel, #94037)
4959
* Correctly handles mutiple permanent http redirections.
4962
bzr 0.15rc2 2007-03-14
4963
-----------------------
4965
NOTES WHEN UPGRADING:
4967
* Release 0.15rc2 of bzr changes the ``bzr init-repo`` command to
4968
default to ``--trees`` instead of ``--no-trees``.
4969
Existing shared repositories are not affected.
4973
* New ``merge-directive`` command to generate machine- and human-readable
4974
merge requests. (Aaron Bentley)
4976
* New ``submit:`` revision specifier makes it easy to diff against the
4977
common ancestor with the submit location (Aaron Bentley)
4979
* Added support for Putty's SSH implementation. (Dmitry Vasiliev)
4981
* Added ``bzr status --versioned`` to report only versioned files,
4982
not unknowns. (Kent Gibson)
4984
* Merge now autodetects the correct line-ending style for its conflict
4985
markers. (Aaron Bentley)
4989
* Refactored SSH vendor registration into SSHVendorManager class.
4994
* New ``--numbered-dirs`` option to ``bzr selftest`` to use
4995
numbered dirs for TestCaseInTempDir. This is default behavior
4996
on Windows. Anyone can force named dirs on Windows
4997
with ``--no-numbered-dirs``. (Alexander Belchenko)
4999
* Fix ``RevisionSpec_revid`` to handle the Unicode strings passed in
5000
from the command line. (Marien Zwart, #90501)
5002
* Fix ``TreeTransform._iter_changes`` when both the source and
5003
destination are missing. (Aaron Bentley, #88842)
5005
* Fix commit of merges with symlinks in dirstate trees.
5008
* Switch the ``bzr init-repo`` default from --no-trees to --trees.
5009
(Wouter van Heyst, #53483)
5012
bzr 0.15rc1 2007-03-07
5013
-----------------------
5017
* The default disk format has changed. Please run 'bzr upgrade' in your
5018
working trees to upgrade. This new default is compatible for network
5019
operations, but not for local operations. That is, if you have two
5020
versions of bzr installed locally, after upgrading you can only use the
5021
bzr 0.15 version. This new default does not enable tags or nested-trees
5022
as they are incompatible with bzr versions before 0.15 over the network.
5024
* For users of bzrlib: Two major changes have been made to the working tree
5025
api in bzrlib. The first is that many methods and attributes, including
5026
the inventory attribute, are no longer valid for use until one of
5027
``lock_read``/``lock_write``/``lock_tree_write`` has been called,
5028
and become invalid again after unlock is called. This has been done
5029
to improve performance and correctness as part of the dirstate
5031
(Robert Collins, John A Meinel, Martin Pool, and others).
5033
* For users of bzrlib: The attribute 'tree.inventory' should be considered
5034
readonly. Previously it was possible to directly alter this attribute, or
5035
its contents, and have the tree notice this. This has been made
5036
unsupported - it may work in some tree formats, but in the newer dirstate
5037
format such actions will have no effect and will be ignored, or even
5038
cause assertions. All operations possible can still be carried out by a
5039
combination of the tree API, and the bzrlib.transform API. (Robert
5040
Collins, John A Meinel, Martin Pool, and others).
5044
* Support for OS Windows 98. Also .bzr.log on any windows system
5045
saved in My Documents folder. (Alexander Belchenko)
5047
* ``bzr mv`` enhanced to support already moved files.
5048
In the past the mv command would have failed if the source file doesn't
5049
exist. In this situation ``bzr mv`` would now detect that the file has
5050
already moved and update the repository accordingly, if the target file
5052
A new option ``--after`` has been added so that if two files already
5053
exist, you could notify Bazaar that you have moved a (versioned) file
5054
and replaced it with another. Thus in this case ``bzr move --after``
5055
will only update the Bazaar identifier.
5056
(Steffen Eichenberg, Marius Kruger)
5058
* ``ls`` now works on treeless branches and remote branches.
5061
* ``bzr help global-options`` describes the global options.
5064
* ``bzr pull --overwrite`` will now correctly overwrite checkouts.
5067
* Files are now allowed to change kind (e.g. from file to symlink).
5068
Supported by ``commit``, ``revert`` and ``status``
5071
* ``inventory`` and ``unknowns`` hidden in favour of ``ls``
5074
* ``bzr help checkouts`` descibes what checkouts are and some possible
5075
uses of them. (James Westby, Aaron Bentley)
5077
* A new ``-d`` option to push, pull and merge overrides the default
5078
directory. (Martin Pool)
5080
* Branch format 6: smaller, and potentially faster than format 5. Supports
5081
``append_history_only`` mode, where the log view and revnos do not change,
5082
except by being added to. Stores policy settings in
5083
".bzr/branch/branch.conf".
5085
* ``append_only`` branches: Format 6 branches may be configured so that log
5086
view and revnos are always consistent. Either create the branch using
5087
"bzr init --append-revisions-only" or edit the config file as descriped
5088
in docs/configuration.txt.
5090
* rebind: Format 6 branches retain the last-used bind location, so if you
5091
"bzr unbind", you can "bzr bind" to bind to the previously-selected
5094
* Builtin tags support, created and deleted by the ``tag`` command and
5095
stored in the branch. Tags can be accessed with the revisionspec
5096
``-rtag:``, and listed with ``bzr tags``. Tags are not versioned
5097
at present. Tags require a network incompatible upgrade. To perform this
5098
upgrade, run ``bzr upgrade --dirstate-tags`` in your branch and
5099
repositories. (Martin Pool)
5101
* The ``bzr://`` transport now has a well-known port number, 4155,
5102
which it will use by default. (Andrew Bennetts, Martin Pool)
5104
* Bazaar now looks for user-installed plugins before looking for site-wide
5105
plugins. (Jonathan Lange)
5107
* ``bzr resolve`` now detects and marks resolved text conflicts.
5112
* Internally revision ids and file ids are now passed around as utf-8
5113
bytestrings, rather than treating them as Unicode strings. This has
5114
performance benefits for Knits, since we no longer need to decode the
5115
revision id for each line of content, nor for each entry in the index.
5116
This will also help with the future dirstate format.
5117
(John Arbash Meinel)
5119
* Reserved ids (any revision-id ending in a colon) are rejected by
5120
versionedfiles, repositories, branches, and working trees
5123
* Minor performance improvement by not creating a ProgressBar for
5124
every KnitIndex we create. (about 90ms for a bzr.dev tree)
5125
(John Arbash Meinel)
5127
* New easier to use Branch hooks facility. There are five initial hooks,
5128
all documented in bzrlib.branch.BranchHooks.__init__ - ``'set_rh'``,
5129
``'post_push'``, ``'post_pull'``, ``'post_commit'``,
5130
``'post_uncommit'``. These hooks fire after the matching operation
5131
on a branch has taken place, and were originally added for the
5132
branchrss plugin. (Robert Collins)
5134
* New method ``Branch.push()`` which should be used when pushing from a
5135
branch as it makes performance and policy decisions to match the UI
5136
level command ``push``. (Robert Collins).
5138
* Add a new method ``Tree.revision_tree`` which allows access to cached
5139
trees for arbitrary revisions. This allows the in development dirstate
5140
tree format to provide access to the callers to cached copies of
5141
inventory data which are cheaper to access than inventories from the
5143
(Robert Collins, Martin Pool)
5145
* New ``Branch.last_revision_info`` method, this is being done to allow
5146
optimization of requests for both the number of revisions and the last
5147
revision of a branch with smartservers and potentially future branch
5148
formats. (Wouter van Heyst, Robert Collins)
5150
* Allow ``'import bzrlib.plugins.NAME'`` to work when the plugin NAME has not
5151
yet been loaded by ``load_plugins()``. This allows plugins to depend on each
5152
other for code reuse without requiring users to perform file-renaming
5153
gymnastics. (Robert Collins)
5155
* New Repository method ``'gather_stats'`` for statistic data collection.
5156
This is expected to grow to cover a number of related uses mainly
5157
related to bzr info. (Robert Collins)
5159
* Log formatters are now managed with a registry.
5160
``log.register_formatter`` continues to work, but callers accessing
5161
the FORMATTERS dictionary directly will not.
5163
* Allow a start message to be passed to the ``edit_commit_message``
5164
function. This will be placed in the message offered to the user
5165
for editing above the separator. It allows a template commit message
5166
to be used more easily. (James Westby)
5168
* ``GPGStrategy.sign()`` will now raise ``BzrBadParameterUnicode`` if
5169
you pass a Unicode string rather than an 8-bit string. Callers need
5170
to be updated to encode first. (John Arbash Meinel)
5172
* Branch.push, pull, merge now return Result objects with information
5173
about what happened, rather than a scattering of various methods. These
5174
are also passed to the post hooks. (Martin Pool)
5176
* File formats and architecture is in place for managing a forest of trees
5177
in bzr, and splitting up existing trees into smaller subtrees, and
5178
finally joining trees to make a larger tree. This is the first iteration
5179
of this support, and the user-facing aspects still require substantial
5180
work. If you wish to experiment with it, use ``bzr upgrade
5181
--dirstate-with-subtree`` in your working trees and repositories.
5182
You can use the hidden commands ``split`` and ``join`` and to create
5183
and manipulate nested trees, but please consider using the nested-trees
5184
branch, which contains substantial UI improvements, instead.
5185
http://code.aaronbentley.com/bzr/bzrrepo/nested-trees/
5186
(Aaron Bentley, Martin Pool, Robert Collins).
5190
* ``bzr annotate`` now uses dotted revnos from the viewpoint of the
5191
branch, rather than the last changed revision of the file.
5192
(John Arbash Meinel, #82158)
5194
* Lock operations no longer hang if they encounter a permission problem.
5197
* ``bzr push`` can resume a push that was canceled before it finished.
5198
Also, it can push even if the target directory exists if you supply
5199
the ``--use-existing-dir`` flag.
5200
(John Arbash Meinel, #30576, #45504)
5202
* Fix http proxy authentication when user and an optional
5203
password appears in the ``*_proxy`` vars. (Vincent Ladeuil,
5206
* ``bzr log branch/file`` works for local treeless branches
5207
(Aaron Bentley, #84247)
5209
* Fix problem with UNC paths on Windows 98. (Alexander Belchenko, #84728)
5211
* Searching location of CA bundle for PyCurl in env variable
5212
(``CURL_CA_BUNDLE``), and on win32 along the PATH.
5213
(Alexander Belchenko, #82086)
5215
* ``bzr init`` works with unicode argument LOCATION.
5216
(Alexander Belchenko, #85599)
5218
* Raise ``DependencyNotPresent`` if pycurl do not support https.
5219
(Vincent Ladeuil, #85305)
5221
* Invalid proxy env variables should not cause a traceback.
5222
(Vincent Ladeuil, #87765)
5224
* Ignore patterns normalised to use '/' path separator.
5225
(Kent Gibson, #86451)
5227
* bzr rocks. It sure does! Fix case. (Vincent Ladeuil, #78026)
5229
* Fix bzrtools shelve command for removed lines beginning with "--"
5230
(Johan Dahlberg, #75577)
5234
* New ``--first`` option to ``bzr selftest`` to run specified tests
5235
before the rest of the suite. (Martin Pool)
5239
--------------------
5243
* ``bzr help global-options`` describes the global options. (Aaron Bentley)
5247
* Skip documentation generation tests if the tools to do so are not
5248
available. Fixes running selftest for installled copies of bzr.
5249
(John Arbash Meinel, #80330)
5251
* Fix the code that discovers whether bzr is being run from it's
5252
working tree to handle the case when it isn't but the directory
5253
it is in is below a repository. (James Westby, #77306)
5256
bzr 0.14rc1 2007-01-16
5257
-----------------------
5261
* New connection: ``bzr+http://`` which supports tunnelling the smart
5262
protocol over an HTTP connection. If writing is enabled on the bzr
5263
server, then you can write over the http connection.
5264
(Andrew Bennetts, John Arbash Meinel)
5266
* Aliases now support quotation marks, so they can contain whitespace
5269
* PyCurlTransport now use a single curl object. By specifying explicitly
5270
the 'Range' header, we avoid the need to use two different curl objects
5271
(and two connections to the same server). (Vincent Ladeuil)
5273
* ``bzr commit`` does not prompt for a message until it is very likely to
5274
succeed. (Aaron Bentley)
5276
* ``bzr conflicts`` now takes --text to list pathnames of text conflicts
5279
* Fix ``iter_lines_added_or_present_in_versions`` to use a set instead
5280
of a list while checking if a revision id was requested. Takes 10s
5281
off of the ``fileids_affected_by_revision_ids`` time, which is 10s
5282
of the ``bzr branch`` time. Also improve ``fileids_...`` time by
5283
filtering lines with a regex rather than multiple ``str.find()``
5284
calls. (saves another 300ms) (John Arbash Meinel)
5286
* Policy can be set for each configuration key. This allows keys to be
5287
inherited properly across configuration entries. For example, this
5288
should enable you to do::
5290
[/home/user/project]
5291
push_location = sftp://host/srv/project/
5292
push_location:policy = appendpath
5294
And then a branch like ``/home/user/project/mybranch`` should get an
5295
automatic push location of ``sftp://host/srv/project/mybranch``.
5298
* Added ``bzr status --short`` to make status report svn style flags
5299
for each file. For example::
5301
$ bzr status --short
5307
* 'bzr selftest --clean-output' allows easily clean temporary tests
5308
directories without running tests. (Alexander Belchenko)
5310
* ``bzr help hidden-commands`` lists all hidden commands. (Aaron Bentley)
5312
* ``bzr merge`` now has an option ``--pull`` to fall back to pull if
5313
local is fully merged into remote. (Jan Hudec)
5315
* ``bzr help formats`` describes available directory formats. (Aaron Bentley)
5319
* A few tweaks directly to ``fileids_affected_by_revision_ids`` to
5320
help speed up processing, as well allowing to extract unannotated
5321
lines. Between the two ``fileids_affected_by_revision_ids`` is
5322
improved by approx 10%. (John Arbash Meinel)
5324
* Change Revision serialization to only write out millisecond
5325
resolution. Rather than expecting floating point serialization to
5326
preserve more resolution than we need. (Henri Weichers, Martin Pool)
5328
* Test suite ends cleanly on Windows. (Vincent Ladeuil)
5330
* When ``encoding_type`` attribute of class Command is equal to 'exact',
5331
force sys.stdout to be a binary stream on Windows, and therefore
5332
keep exact line-endings (without LF -> CRLF conversion).
5333
(Alexander Belchenko)
5335
* Single-letter short options are no longer globally declared. (Martin
5338
* Before using detected user/terminal encoding bzr should check
5339
that Python has corresponding codec. (Alexander Belchenko)
5341
* Formats for end-user selection are provided via a FormatRegistry (Aaron Bentley)
5345
* ``bzr missing --verbose`` was showing adds/removals in the wrong
5346
direction. (John Arbash Meinel)
5348
* ``bzr annotate`` now defaults to showing dotted revnos for merged
5349
revisions. It cuts them off at a depth of 12 characters, but you can
5350
supply ``--long`` to see the full number. You can also use
5351
``--show-ids`` to display the original revision ids, rather than
5352
revision numbers and committer names. (John Arbash Meinel, #75637)
5354
* bzr now supports Win32 UNC path (e.g. ``\HOST\path``.
5355
(Alexander Belchenko, #57869)
5357
* Win32-specific: output of cat, bundle and diff commands don't mangle
5358
line-endings (Alexander Belchenko, #55276)
5360
* Replace broken fnmatch based ignore pattern matching with custom pattern
5362
(Kent Gibson, Jan Hudec #57637)
5364
* pycurl and urllib can detect short reads at different places. Update
5365
the test suite to test more cases. Also detect http error code 416
5366
which was raised for that specific bug. Also enhance the urllib
5367
robustness by detecting invalid ranges (and pycurl's one by detecting
5368
short reads during the initial GET). (Vincent Ladeuil, #73948)
5370
* The urllib connection sharing interacts badly with urllib2
5371
proxy setting (the connections didn't go thru the proxy
5372
anymore). Defining a proper ProxyHandler solves the
5373
problem. (Vincent Ladeuil, #74759)
5375
* Use urlutils to generate relative URLs, not osutils
5376
(Aaron Bentley, #76229)
5378
* ``bzr status`` in a readonly directory should work without giving
5379
lots of errors. (John Arbash Meinel, #76299)
5381
* Mention the revisionspec topic for the revision option help.
5382
(Wouter van Heyst, #31663)
5384
* Allow plugins import from zip archives.
5385
(Alexander Belchenko, #68124)

No changes from 0.13rc1
5393
bzr 0.13rc1 2006-11-27
5394
-----------------------
5398
* New command ``bzr remove-tree`` allows the removal of the working
5400
(Daniel Silverstone)
5402
* urllib uses shared keep-alive connections, so http
5403
operations are substantially faster.
5404
(Vincent Ladeuil, #53654)
5406
* ``bzr export`` allows an optional branch parameter, to export a bzr
5407
tree from some other url. For example:
5408
``bzr export bzr.tar.gz http://bazaar-vcs.org/bzr/bzr.dev``
5409
(Daniel Silverstone)
5411
* Added ``bzr help topics`` to the bzr help system. This gives a
5412
location for general information, outside of a specific command.
5413
This includes updates for ``bzr help revisionspec`` the first topic
5414
included. (Goffredo Baroncelli, John Arbash Meinel, #42714)
5416
* WSGI-compatible HTTP smart server. See ``doc/http_smart_server.txt``.
5419
* Knit files will now cache full texts only when the size of the
5420
deltas is as large as the size of the fulltext. (Or after 200
5421
deltas, whichever comes first). This has the most benefit on large
5422
files with small changes, such as the inventory for a large project.
5423
(eg For a project with 2500 files, and 7500 revisions, it changes
5424
the size of inventory.knit from 11MB to 5.4MB) (John Arbash Meinel)
5428
* New -D option given before the command line turns on debugging output
5429
for particular areas. -Derror shows tracebacks on all errors.
5432
* Clean up ``bzr selftest --benchmark bundle`` to correct an import,
5433
and remove benchmarks that take longer than 10min to run.
5434
(John Arbash Meinel)
5436
* Use ``time.time()`` instead of ``time.clock()`` to decide on
5437
progress throttling. Because ``time.clock()`` is actually CPU time,
5438
so over a high-latency connection, too many updates get throttled.
5439
(John Arbash Meinel)
5441
* ``MemoryTransport.list_dir()`` would strip the first character for
5442
files or directories in root directory. (John Arbash Meinel)
5444
* New method ``get_branch_reference`` on 'BzrDir' allows the detection of
5445
branch references - which the smart server component needs.
5447
* New ``ChrootTransportDecorator``, accessible via the ``chroot+`` url
5448
prefix. It disallows any access to locations above a set URL. (Andrew
5453
* Now ``_KnitIndex`` properly decode revision ids when loading index data.
5454
And optimize the knit index parsing code.
5455
(Dmitry Vasiliev, John Arbash Meinel)
5457
* ``bzrlib/bzrdir.py`` was directly referencing ``bzrlib.workingtree``,
5458
without importing it. This prevented ``bzr upgrade`` from working
5459
unless a plugin already imported ``bzrlib.workingtree``
5460
(John Arbash Meinel, #70716)
5462
* Suppress the traceback on invalid URLs (Vincent Ladeuil, #70803).
5464
* Give nicer error message when an http server returns a 403
5465
error code. (Vincent Ladeuil, #57644).
5467
* When a multi-range http GET request fails, try a single
5468
range one. If it fails too, forget about ranges. Remember that until
5469
the death of the transport and propagates that to the clones.
5470
(Vincent Ladeuil, #62276, #62029).
5472
* Handles user/passwords supplied in url from command
5473
line (for the urllib implementation). Don't request already
5474
known passwords (Vincent Ladeuil, #42383, #44647, #48527)
5476
* ``_KnitIndex.add_versions()`` dictionary compresses revision ids as they
5477
are added. This fixes bug where fetching remote revisions records
5478
them as full references rather than integers.
5479
(John Arbash Meinel, #64789)
5481
* ``bzr ignore`` strips trailing slashes in patterns.
5482
Also ``bzr ignore`` rejects absolute paths. (Kent Gibson, #4559)
5484
* ``bzr ignore`` takes multiple arguments. (Cheuksan Edward Wang, #29488)
5486
* mv correctly handles paths that traverse symlinks.
5487
(Aaron Bentley, #66964)
5489
* Give nicer looking error messages when failing to connect over ssh.
5490
(John Arbash Meinel, #49172)
5492
* Pushing to a remote branch does not currently update the remote working
5493
tree. After a remote push, ``bzr status`` and ``bzr diff`` on the remote
5494
machine now show that the working tree is out of date.
5495
(Cheuksan Edward Wang #48136)
5497
* Use patiencediff instead of difflib for determining deltas to insert
5498
into knits. This avoids the O(N^3) behavior of difflib. Patience
5499
diff should be O(N^2). (Cheuksan Edward Wang, #65714)
5501
* Running ``bzr log`` on nonexistent file gives an error instead of the
5502
entire log history. (Cheuksan Edward Wang #50793)
5504
* ``bzr cat`` can look up contents of removed or renamed files. If the
5505
pathname is ambiguous, i.e. the files in the old and new trees have
5506
different id's, the default is the file in the new tree. The user can
5507
use "--name-from-revision" to select the file in the old tree.
5508
(Cheuksan Edward Wang, #30190)
5512
* TestingHTTPRequestHandler really handles the Range header
5513
(previously it was ignoring it and returning the whole file,).
5516
--------------------
5520
* Clean up ``bzr selftest --benchmark bundle`` to correct an import,
5521
and remove benchmarks that take longer than 10min to run.
5522
(John Arbash Meinel)
5524
bzr 0.12rc1 2006-10-23
5525
-----------------------
5529
* ``bzr log`` now shows dotted-decimal revision numbers for all revisions,
5530
rather than just showing a decimal revision number for revisions on the
5531
mainline. These revision numbers are not yet accepted as input into bzr
5532
commands such as log, diff etc. (Robert Collins)
5534
* revisions can now be specified using dotted-decimal revision numbers.
5535
For instance, ``bzr diff -r 1.2.1..1.2.3``. (Robert Collins)
5537
* ``bzr help commands`` output is now shorter (Aaron Bentley)
5539
* ``bzr`` now uses lazy importing to reduce the startup time. This has
5540
a moderate effect on lots of actions, especially ones that have
5541
little to do. For example ``bzr rocks`` time is down to 116ms from
5542
283ms. (John Arbash Meinel)
5544
* New Registry class to provide name-to-object registry-like support,
5545
for example for schemes where plugins can register new classes to
5546
do certain tasks (e.g. log formatters). Also provides lazy registration
5547
to allow modules to be loaded on request.
5548
(John Arbash Meinel, Adeodato Simó)
5550
API INCOMPATABILITY:
5552
* LogFormatter subclasses show now expect the 'revno' parameter to
5553
show() to be a string rather than an int. (Robert Collins)
5557
* ``TestCase.run_bzr``, ``run_bzr_captured``, and ``run_bzr_subprocess``
5558
can take a ``working_dir='foo'`` parameter, which will change directory
5559
for the command. (John Arbash Meinel)
5561
* ``bzrlib.lazy_regex.lazy_compile`` can be used to create a proxy
5562
around a regex, which defers compilation until first use.
5563
(John Arbash Meinel)
5565
* ``TestCase.run_bzr_subprocess`` defaults to supplying the
5566
``--no-plugins`` parameter to ensure test reproducability, and avoid
5567
problems with system-wide installed plugins. (John Arbash Meinel)
5569
* Unique tree root ids are now supported. Newly created trees still
5570
use the common root id for compatibility with bzr versions before 0.12.
5573
* ``WorkingTree.set_root_id(None)`` is now deprecated. Please
5574
pass in ``inventory.ROOT_ID`` if you want the default root id value.
5575
(Robert Collins, John Arbash Meinel)
5577
* New method ``WorkingTree.flush()`` which will write the current memory
5578
inventory out to disk. At the same time, ``read_working_inventory`` will
5579
no longer trash the current tree inventory if it has been modified within
5580
the current lock, and the tree will now ``flush()`` automatically on
5581
``unlock()``. ``WorkingTree.set_root_id()`` has been updated to take
5582
advantage of this functionality. (Robert Collins, John Arbash Meinel)
5584
* ``bzrlib.tsort.merge_sorted`` now accepts ``generate_revnos``. This
5585
parameter will cause it to add another column to its output, which
5586
contains the dotted-decimal revno for each revision, as a tuple.
5589
* ``LogFormatter.show_merge`` is deprecated in favour of
5590
``LogFormatter.show_merge_revno``. (Robert Collins)
5594
* Avoid circular imports by creating a deprecated function for
5595
``bzrlib.tree.RevisionTree``. Callers should have been using
5596
``bzrlib.revisontree.RevisionTree`` anyway. (John Arbash Meinel,
5599
* Don't use ``socket.MSG_WAITALL`` as it doesn't exist on all
5600
platforms. (Martin Pool, #66356)
5602
* Don't require ``Content-Type`` in range responses. Assume they are a
5603
single range if ``Content-Type`` does not exist.
5604
(John Arbash Meinel, #62473)
5606
* bzr branch/pull no longer complain about progress bar cleanup when
5607
interrupted during fetch. (Aaron Bentley, #54000)
5609
* ``WorkingTree.set_parent_trees()`` uses the trees to directly write
5610
the basis inventory, rather than going through the repository. This
5611
allows us to have 1 inventory read, and 2 inventory writes when
5612
committing a new tree. (John Arbash Meinel)
5614
* When reverting, files that are not locally modified that do not exist
5615
in the target are deleted, not just unversioned (Aaron Bentley)
5617
* When trying to acquire a lock, don't fail immediately. Instead, try
5618
a few times (up to 1 hour) before timing out. Also, report why the
5619
lock is unavailable (John Arbash Meinel, #43521, #49556)
5621
* Leave HttpTransportBase daughter classes decides how they
5622
implement cloning. (Vincent Ladeuil, #61606)
5624
* diff3 does not indicate conflicts on clean merge. (Aaron Bentley)
5626
* If a commit fails, the commit message is stored in a file at the root of
5627
the tree for later commit. (Cheuksan Edward Wang, Stefan Metzmacher,
5632
* New test base class TestCaseWithMemoryTransport offers memory-only
5633
testing facilities: its not suitable for tests that need to mutate disk
5634
state, but most tests should not need that and should be converted to
5635
TestCaseWithMemoryTransport. (Robert Collins)
5637
* ``TestCase.make_branch_and_memory_tree`` now takes a format
5638
option to set the BzrDir, Repository and Branch formats of the
5639
created objects. (Robert Collins, John Arbash Meinel)
5642
--------------------
5644
* Smart server transport test failures on windows fixed. (Lukáš Lalinský).
5646
bzr 0.11rc2 2006-09-27
5647
-----------------------
5651
* Test suite hangs on windows fixed. (Andrew Bennets, Alexander Belchenko).
5653
* Commit performance regression fixed. (Aaron Bentley, Robert Collins, John
5656
bzr 0.11rc1 2006-09-25
5657
-----------------------
5661
* Knit files now wait to create their contents until the first data is
5662
added. The old code used to create an empty .knit and a .kndx with just
5663
the header. However, this caused a lot of extra round trips over sftp.
5664
This can change the time for ``bzr push`` to create a new remote branch
5665
from 160s down to 100s. This also affects ``bzr commit`` performance when
5666
adding new files, ``bzr commit`` on a new kernel-like tree drops from 50s
5667
down to 40s (John Arbash Meinel, #44692)
5669
* When an entire subtree has been deleted, commit will now report that
5670
just the top of the subtree has been deleted, rather than reporting
5671
all the individual items. (Robert Collins)
5673
* Commit performs one less XML parse. (Robert Collins)
5675
* ``bzr checkout`` now operates on readonly branches as well
5676
as readwrite branches. This fixes bug #39542. (Robert Collins)
5678
* ``bzr bind`` no longer synchronises history with the master branch.
5679
Binding should be followed by an update or push to synchronise the
5680
two branches. This is closely related to the fix for bug #39542.
5683
* ``bzrlib.lazy_import.lazy_import`` function to create on-demand
5684
objects. This allows all imports to stay at the global scope, but
5685
modules will not actually be imported if they are not used.
5686
(John Arbash Meinel)
5688
* Support ``bzr://`` and ``bzr+ssh://`` urls to work with the new RPC-based
5689
transport which will be used with the upcoming high-performance smart
5690
server. The new command ``bzr serve`` will invoke bzr in server mode,
5691
which processes these requests. (Andrew Bennetts, Robert Collins, Martin
5694
* New command ``bzr version-info`` which can be used to get a summary
5695
of the current state of the tree. This is especially useful as part
5696
of a build commands. See ``doc/version_info.txt`` for more information
5697
(John Arbash Meinel)
5701
* ``'bzr inventory [FILE...]'`` allows restricting the file list to a
5702
specific set of files. (John Arbash Meinel, #3631)
5704
* Don't abort when annotating empty files (John Arbash Meinel, #56814)
5706
* Add ``Stanza.to_unicode()`` which can be passed to another Stanza
5707
when nesting stanzas. Also, add ``read_stanza_unicode`` to handle when
5708
reading a nested Stanza. (John Arbash Meinel)
5710
* Transform._set_mode() needs to stat the right file.
5711
(John Arbash Meinel, #56549)
5713
* Raise WeaveFormatError rather than StopIteration when trying to read
5714
an empty Weave file. (John Arbash Meinel, #46871)
5716
* Don't access e.code for generic URLErrors, only HTTPErrors have .code.
5717
(Vincent Ladeuil, #59835)
5719
* Handle boundary="" lines properly to allow access through a Squid proxy.
5720
(John Arbash Meinel, #57723)
5722
* revert now removes newly-added directories (Aaron Bentley, #54172)
5724
* ``bzr upgrade sftp://`` shouldn't fail to upgrade v6 branches if there
5725
isn't a working tree. (David Allouche, #40679)
5727
* Give nicer error messages when a user supplies an invalid --revision
5728
parameter. (John Arbash Meinel, #55420)
5730
* Handle when LANG is not recognized by python. Emit a warning, but
5731
just revert to using 'ascii'. (John Arbash Meinel, #35392)
5733
* Don't use ``preexec_fn`` on win32, as it is not supported by subprocess.
5734
(John Arbash Meinel)
5736
* Skip specific tests when the dependencies aren't met. This includes
5737
some ``setup.py`` tests when ``python-dev`` is not available, and
5738
some tests that depend on paramiko. (John Arbash Meinel, Mattheiu Moy)
5740
* Fallback to Paramiko properly, if no ``ssh`` executable exists on
5741
the system. (Andrew Bennetts, John Arbash Meinel)
5743
* ``Branch.bind(other_branch)`` no longer takes a write lock on the
5744
other branch, and will not push or pull between the two branches.
5745
API users will need to perform a push or pull or update operation if they
5746
require branch synchronisation to take place. (Robert Collins, #47344)
5748
* When creating a tarball or zipfile export, export unicode names as utf-8
5749
paths. This may not work perfectly on all platforms, but has the best
5750
chance of working in the common case. (John Arbash Meinel, #56816)
5752
* When committing, only files that exist in working tree or basis tree
5753
may be specified (Aaron Bentley, #50793)
5757
* Fixes to run on Python 2.5 (Brian M. Carlson, Martin Pool, Marien Zwart)
5761
* TestCaseInTempDir now creates a separate directory for HOME, rather
5762
than having HOME set to the same location as the working directory.
5763
(John Arbash Meinel)
5765
* ``run_bzr_subprocess()`` can take an optional ``env_changes={}`` parameter,
5766
which will update os.environ inside the spawned child. It also can
5767
take a ``universal_newlines=True``, which helps when checking the output
5768
of the command. (John Arbash Meinel)
5770
* Refactor SFTP vendors to allow easier re-use when ssh is used.
5773
* ``Transport.list_dir()`` and ``Transport.iter_files_recursive()`` should always
5774
return urlescaped paths. This is now tested (there were bugs in a few
5775
of the transports) (Andrew Bennetts, David Allouche, John Arbash Meinel)
5777
* New utility function ``symbol_versioning.deprecation_string``. Returns the
5778
formatted string for a callable, deprecation format pair. (Robert Collins)
5780
* New TestCase helper applyDeprecated. This allows you to call a callable
5781
which is deprecated without it spewing to the screen, just by supplying
5782
the deprecation format string issued for it. (Robert Collins)
5784
* Transport.append and Transport.put have been deprecated in favor of
5785
``.append_bytes``, ``.append_file``, ``.put_bytes``, and
5786
``.put_file``. This removes the ambiguity in what type of object the
5787
functions take. ``Transport.non_atomic_put_{bytes,file}`` has also
5788
been added. Which works similarly to ``Transport.append()`` except for
5789
SFTP, it doesn't have a round trip when opening the file. Also, it
5790
provides functionality for creating a parent directory when trying
5791
to create a file, rather than raise NoSuchFile and forcing the
5792
caller to repeat their request.
5793
(John Arbash Meinel)
5795
* WorkingTree has a new api ``unversion`` which allow the unversioning of
5796
entries by their file id. (Robert Collins)
5798
* ``WorkingTree.pending_merges`` is deprecated. Please use the
5799
``get_parent_ids`` (introduced in 0.10) method instead. (Robert Collins)
5801
* WorkingTree has a new ``lock_tree_write`` method which locks the branch for
5802
read rather than write. This is appropriate for actions which only need
5803
the branch data for reference rather than mutation. A new decorator
5804
``needs_tree_write_lock`` is provided in the workingtree module. Like the
5805
``needs_read_lock`` and ``needs_write_lock`` decorators this allows static
5806
declaration of the locking requirements of a function to ensure that
5807
a lock is taken out for casual scripts. (Robert Collins, #54107)
5809
* All WorkingTree methods which write to the tree, but not to the branch
5810
have been converted to use ``needs_tree_write_lock`` rather than
5811
``needs_write_lock``. Also converted is the revert, conflicts and tree
5812
transform modules. This provides a modest performance improvement on
5813
metadir style trees, due to the reduce lock-acquisition, and a more
5814
significant performance improvement on lightweight checkouts from
5815
remote branches, where trivial operations used to pay a significant
5816
penalty. It also provides the basis for allowing readonly checkouts.
5819
* Special case importing the standard library 'copy' module. This shaves
5820
off 40ms of startup time, while retaining compatibility. See:
5821
``bzrlib/inspect_for_copy.py`` for more details. (John Arbash Meinel)
5823
* WorkingTree has a new parent class MutableTree which represents the
5824
specialisations of Tree which are able to be altered. (Robert Collins)
5826
* New methods mkdir and ``put_file_bytes_non_atomic`` on MutableTree that
5827
mutate the tree and its contents. (Robert Collins)
5829
* Transport behaviour at the root of the URL is now defined and tested.
5830
(Andrew Bennetts, Robert Collins)
5834
* New test helper classs MemoryTree. This is typically accessed via
5835
``self.make_branch_and_memory_tree()`` in test cases. (Robert Collins)
5837
* Add ``start_bzr_subprocess`` and ``stop_bzr_subprocess`` to allow test
5838
code to continue running concurrently with a subprocess of bzr.
5839
(Andrew Bennetts, Robert Collins)
5841
* Add a new method ``Transport.get_smart_client()``. This is provided to
5842
allow upgrades to a richer interface than the VFS one provided by
5843
Transport. (Andrew Bennetts, Martin Pool)
5846
--------------------
5849
* 'merge' now takes --uncommitted, to apply uncommitted changes from a
5850
tree. (Aaron Bentley)
5852
* 'bzr add --file-ids-from' can be used to specify another path to use
5853
for creating file ids, rather than generating all new ones. Internally,
5854
the 'action' passed to ``smart_add_tree()`` can return ``file_ids`` that
5855
will be used, rather than having bzrlib generate new ones.
5856
(John Arbash Meinel, #55781)
5858
* ``bzr selftest --benchmark`` now allows a ``--cache-dir`` parameter.
5859
This will cache some of the intermediate trees, and decrease the
5860
setup time for benchmark tests. (John Arbash Meinel)
5862
* Inverse forms are provided for all boolean options. For example,
5863
--strict has --no-strict, --no-recurse has --recurse (Aaron Bentley)
5865
* Serialize out Inventories directly, rather than using ElementTree.
5866
Writing out a kernel sized inventory drops from 2s down to ~350ms.
5867
(Robert Collins, John Arbash Meinel)
5871
* Help diffutils 2.8.4 get along with binary tests (Marien Zwart: #57614)
5873
* Change LockDir so that if the lock directory doesn't exist when
5874
``lock_write()`` is called, an attempt will be made to create it.
5875
(John Arbash Meinel, #56974)
5877
* ``bzr uncommit`` preserves pending merges. (John Arbash Meinel, #57660)
5879
* Active FTP transport now works as intended. (ghozzy, #56472)
5881
* Really fix mutter() so that it won't ever raise a UnicodeError.
5882
It means it is possible for ~/.bzr.log to contain non UTF-8 characters.
5883
But it is a debugging log, not a real user file.
5884
(John Arbash Meinel, #56947, #53880)
5886
* Change Command handle to allow Unicode command and options.
5887
At present we cannot register Unicode command names, so we will get
5888
BzrCommandError('unknown command'), or BzrCommandError('unknown option')
5889
But that is better than a UnicodeError + a traceback.
5890
(John Arbash Meinel, #57123)
5892
* Handle TZ=UTC properly when reading/writing revisions.
5893
(John Arbash Meinel, #55783, #56290)
5895
* Use ``GPG_TTY`` to allow gpg --cl to work with gpg-agent in a pipeline,
5896
(passing text to sign in on stdin). (John Arbash Meinel, #54468)
5898
* External diff does the right thing for binaries even in foreign
5899
languages. (John Arbash Meinel, #56307)
5901
* Testament handles more cases when content is unicode. Specific bug was
5902
in handling of revision properties.
5903
(John Arbash Meinel, Holger Krekel, #54723)
5905
* The bzr selftest was failing on installed versions due to a bug in a new
5906
test helper. (John Arbash Meinel, Robert Collins, #58057)
5910
* ``bzrlib.cache_utf8`` contains ``encode()`` and ``decode()`` functions
5911
which can be used to cache the conversion between utf8 and Unicode.
5912
Especially helpful for some of the knit annotation code, which has to
5913
convert revision ids to utf8 to annotate lines in storage.
5914
(John Arbash Meinel)
5916
* ``setup.py`` now searches the filesystem to find all packages which
5917
need to be installed. This should help make the life of packagers
5918
easier. (John Arbash Meinel)
5920
bzr 0.9.0 2006-08-11
5921
---------------------
5925
* The hard-coded built-in ignore rules have been removed. There are
5926
now two rulesets which are enforced. A user global one in
5927
``~/.bazaar/ignore`` which will apply to every tree, and the tree
5928
specific one '.bzrignore'.
5929
``~/.bazaar/ignore`` will be created if it does not exist, but with
5930
a more conservative list than the old default.
5931
This fixes bugs with default rules being enforced no matter what.
5932
The old list of ignore rules from bzr is available by
5933
running 'bzr ignore --old-default-rules'.
5934
(Robert Collins, Martin Pool, John Arbash Meinel)
5936
* 'branches.conf' has been changed to 'locations.conf', since it can apply
5937
to more locations than just branch locations.
5942
* The revision specifier "revno:" is extended to accept the syntax
5943
revno:N:branch. For example,
5944
revno:42:http://bazaar-vcs.org/bzr/bzr.dev/ means revision 42 in
5945
bzr.dev. (Matthieu Moy)
5947
* Tests updates to ensure proper URL handling, UNICODE support, and
5948
proper printing when the user's terminal encoding cannot display
5949
the path of a file that has been versioned.
5950
``bzr branch`` can take a target URL rather than only a local directory.
5951
``Branch.get_parent()/set_parent()`` now save a relative path if possible,
5952
and normalize the parent based on root, allowing access across
5953
different transports. (John Arbash Meinel, Wouter van Heyst, Martin Pool)
5954
(Malone #48906, #42699, #40675, #5281, #3980, #36363, #43689,
5957
* On Unix, detect terminal width using an ioctl not just $COLUMNS.
5958
Use terminal width for single-line logs from ``bzr log --line`` and
5959
pending-merge display. (Robert Widhopf-Fenk, Gustavo Niemeyer)
5962
* On Windows, detect terminal width using GetConsoleScreenBufferInfo.
5963
(Alexander Belchenko)
5965
* Speedup improvement for 'date:'-revision search. (Guillaume Pinot).
5967
* Show the correct number of revisions pushed when pushing a new branch.
5970
* 'bzr selftest' now shows a progress bar with the number of tests, and
5971
progress made. 'make check' shows tests in -v mode, to be more useful
5972
for the PQM status window. (Robert Collins).
5973
When using a progress bar, failed tests are printed out, rather than
5974
being overwritten by the progress bar until the suite finishes.
5975
(John Arbash Meinel)
5977
* 'bzr selftest --benchmark' will run a new benchmarking selftest.
5978
'bzr selftest --benchmark --lsprof-timed' will use lsprofile to generate
5979
profile data for the individual profiled calls, allowing for fine
5980
grained analysis of performance.
5981
(Robert Collins, Martin Pool).
5983
* 'bzr commit' shows a progress bar. This is useful for commits over sftp
5984
where commit can take an appreciable time. (Robert Collins)
5986
* 'bzr add' is now less verbose in telling you what ignore globs were
5987
matched by files being ignored. Instead it just tells you how many
5988
were ignored (because you might reasonably be expecting none to be
5989
ignored). 'bzr add -v' is unchanged and will report every ignored
5990
file. (Robert Collins).
5992
* ftp now has a test server if medusa is installed. As part of testing,
5993
ftp support has been improved, including support for supplying a
5994
non-standard port. (John Arbash Meinel).
5996
* 'bzr log --line' shows the revision number, and uses only the
5997
first line of the log message (#5162, Alexander Belchenko;
6000
* 'bzr status' has had the --all option removed. The 'bzr ls' command
6001
should be used to retrieve all versioned files. (Robert Collins)
6003
* 'bzr bundle OTHER/BRANCH' will create a bundle which can be sent
6004
over email, and applied on the other end, while maintaining ancestry.
6005
This bundle can be applied with either 'bzr merge' or 'bzr pull',
6006
the same way you would apply another branch.
6007
(John Arbash Meinel, Aaron Bentley)
6009
* 'bzr whoami' can now be used to set your identity from the command line,
6010
for a branch or globally. (Robey Pointer)
6012
* 'bzr checkout' now aliased to 'bzr co', and 'bzr annotate' to 'bzr ann'.
6015
* 'bzr revert DIRECTORY' now reverts the contents of the directory as well.
6018
* 'bzr get sftp://foo' gives a better error when paramiko is not present.
6019
Also updates things like 'http+pycurl://' if pycurl is not present.
6020
(John Arbash Meinel) (Malone #47821, #52204)
6022
* New env variable ``BZR_PROGRESS_BAR``, sets the default progress bar type.
6023
Can be set to 'none' or 'dummy' to disable the progress bar, 'dots' or
6024
'tty' to create the respective type. (John Arbash Meinel, #42197, #51107)
6026
* Improve the help text for 'bzr diff' to explain what various options do.
6027
(John Arbash Meinel, #6391)
6029
* 'bzr uncommit -r 10' now uncommits revisions 11.. rather than uncommitting
6030
revision 10. This makes -r10 more in line with what other commands do.
6031
'bzr uncommit' also now saves the pending merges of the revisions that
6032
were removed. So it is safe to uncommit after a merge, fix something,
6033
and commit again. (John Arbash Meinel, #32526, #31426)
6035
* 'bzr init' now also works on remote locations.
6036
(Wouter van Heyst, #48904)
6038
* HTTP support has been updated. When using pycurl we now support
6039
connection keep-alive, which reduces dns requests and round trips.
6040
And for both urllib and pycurl we support multi-range requests,
6041
which decreases the number of round-trips. Performance results for
6042
``bzr branch http://bazaar-vcs.org/bzr/bzr.dev/`` indicate
6043
http branching is now 2-3x faster, and ``bzr pull`` in an existing
6044
branch is as much as 4x faster.
6045
(Michael Ellerman, Johan Rydberg, John Arbash Meinel, #46768)
6047
* Performance improvements for sftp. Branching and pulling are now up to
6048
2x faster. Utilize paramiko.readv() support for async requests if it
6049
is available (paramiko > 1.6) (John Arbash Meinel)
6053
* Fix shadowed definition of TestLocationConfig that caused some
6055
(Erik Bågfors, Michael Ellerman, Martin Pool, #32587)
6057
* Fix unnecessary requirement of sign-my-commits that it be run from
6058
a working directory. (Martin Pool, Robert Collins)
6060
* 'bzr push location' will only remember the push location if it succeeds
6061
in connecting to the remote location. (John Arbash Meinel, #49742)
6063
* 'bzr revert' no longer toggles the executable bit on win32
6064
(John Arbash Meinel, #45010)
6066
* Handle broken pipe under win32 correctly. (John Arbash Meinel)
6068
* sftp tests now work correctly on win32 if you have a newer paramiko
6069
(John Arbash Meinel)
6071
* Cleanup win32 test suite, and general cleanup of places where
6072
file handles were being held open. (John Arbash Meinel)
6074
* When specifying filenames for 'diff -r x..y', the name of the file in the
6075
working directory can be used, even if its name is different in both x
6078
* File-ids containing single- or double-quotes are handled correctly by
6079
push. (Aaron Bentley, #52227)
6081
* Normalize unicode filenames to ensure cross-platform consistency.
6082
(John Arbash Meinel, #43689)
6084
* The argument parser can now handle '-' as an argument. Currently
6085
no code interprets it specially (it is mostly handled as a file named
6086
'-'). But plugins, and future operations can use it.
6087
(John Arbash meinel, #50984)
6089
* Bundles can properly read binary files with a plain '\r' in them.
6090
(John Arbash Meinel, #51927)
6092
* Tuning ``iter_entries()`` to be more efficient (John Arbash Meinel, #5444)
6094
* Lots of win32 fixes (the test suite passes again).
6095
(John Arbash Meinel, #50155)
6097
* Handle openbsd returning None for sys.getfilesystemencoding() (#41183)
6099
* Support ftp APPE (append) to allow Knits to be used over ftp (#42592)
6101
* Removals are only committed if they match the filespec (or if there is
6102
no filespec). (#46635, Aaron Bentley)
6104
* smart-add recurses through all supplied directories
6105
(John Arbash Meinel, #52578)
6107
* Make the bundle reader extra lines before and after the bundle text.
6108
This allows you to parse an email with the bundle inline.
6109
(John Arbash Meinel, #49182)
6111
* Change the file id generator to squash a little bit more. Helps when
6112
working with long filenames on windows. (Also helps for unicode filenames
6113
not generating hidden files). (John Arbash Meinel, #43801)
6115
* Restore terminal mode on C-c while reading sftp password. (#48923,
6116
Nicholas Allen, Martin Pool)
6118
* Timestamps are rounded to 1ms, and revision entries can be recreated
6119
exactly. (John Arbash Meinel, Jamie Wilkinson, #40693)
6121
* Branch.base has changed to a URL, but ~/.bazaar/locations.conf should
6122
use local paths, since it is user visible (John Arbash Meinel, #53653)
6124
* ``bzr status foo`` when foo was unversioned used to cause a full delta
6125
to be generated (John Arbash Meinel, #53638)
6127
* When reading revision properties, an empty value should be considered
6128
the empty string, not None (John Arbash Meinel, #47782)
6130
* ``bzr diff --diff-options`` can now handle binary files being changed.
6131
Also, the output is consistent when --diff-options is not supplied.
6132
(John Arbash Meinel, #54651, #52930)
6134
* Use the right suffixes for loading plugins (John Arbash Meinel, #51810)
6136
* Fix ``Branch.get_parent()`` to handle the case when the parent is not
6137
accessible (John Arbash Meinel, #52976)
6141
* Combine the ignore rules into a single regex rather than looping over
6142
them to reduce the threshold where N^2 behaviour occurs in operations
6143
like status. (Jan Hudec, Robert Collins).
6145
* Appending to ``bzrlib.DEFAULT_IGNORE`` is now deprecated. Instead, use
6146
one of the add functions in bzrlib.ignores. (John Arbash Meinel)
6148
* 'bzr push' should only push the ancestry of the current revision, not
6149
all of the history in the repository. This is especially important for
6150
shared repositories. (John Arbash Meinel)
6152
* ``bzrlib.delta.compare_trees`` now iterates in alphabetically sorted order,
6153
rather than randomly walking the inventories. (John Arbash Meinel)
6155
* Doctests are now run in temporary directories which are cleaned up when
6156
they finish, rather than using special ScratchDir/ScratchBranch objects.
6159
* Split ``check`` into separate methods on the branch and on the repository,
6160
so that it can be specialized in ways that are useful or efficient for
6161
different formats. (Martin Pool, Robert Collins)
6163
* Deprecate ``Repository.all_revision_ids``; most methods don't really need
6164
the global revision graph but only that part leading up to a particular
6165
revision. (Martin Pool, Robert Collins)
6167
* Add a BzrDirFormat ``control_formats`` list which allows for control formats
6168
that do not use '.bzr' to store their data - i.e. '.svn', '.hg' etc.
6169
(Robert Collins, Jelmer Vernooij).
6171
* ``bzrlib.diff.external_diff`` can be redirected to any file-like object.
6172
Uses subprocess instead of spawnvp.
6173
(James Henstridge, John Arbash Meinel, #4047, #48914)
6175
* New command line option '--profile-imports', which will install a custom
6176
importer to log time to import modules and regex compilation time to
6177
sys.stderr (John Arbash Meinel)
6179
* 'EmptyTree' is now deprecated, please use ``repository.revision_tree(None)``
6180
instead. (Robert Collins)
6182
* "RevisionTree" is now in bzrlib/revisiontree.py. (Robert Collins)
6184
bzr 0.8.2 2006-05-17
6185
---------------------
6189
* setup.py failed to install launchpad plugin. (Martin Pool)
6191
bzr 0.8.1 2006-05-16
6192
---------------------
6196
* Fix failure to commit a merge in a checkout. (Martin Pool,
6197
Robert Collins, Erik Bågfors, #43959)
6199
* Nicer messages from 'commit' in the case of renames, and correct
6200
messages when a merge has occured. (Robert Collins, Martin Pool)
6202
* Separate functionality from assert statements as they are skipped in
6203
optimized mode of python. Add the same check to pending merges.
6204
(Olaf Conradi, #44443)
6208
* Do not show the None revision in output of bzr ancestry. (Olaf Conradi)
6210
* Add info on standalone branches without a working tree.
6211
(Olaf Conradi, #44155)
6213
* Fix bug in knits when raising InvalidRevisionId. (Olaf Conradi, #44284)
6217
* Make editor invocation comply with Debian Policy. First check
6218
environment variables VISUAL and EDITOR, then try editor from
6219
alternatives system. If that all fails, fall back to the pre-defined
6220
list of editors. (Olaf Conradi, #42904)
6224
* New 'register-branch' command registers a public branch into
6225
Launchpad.net, where it can be associated with bugs, etc.
6226
(Martin Pool, Bjorn Tillenius, Robert Collins)
6230
* New public api in InventoryEntry - ``describe_change(old, new)`` which
6231
provides a human description of the changes between two old and
6232
new. (Robert Collins, Martin Pool)
6236
* Fix test case for bzr info in upgrading a standalone branch to metadir,
6237
uses bzrlib api now. (Olaf Conradi)
6242
NOTES WHEN UPGRADING:
6244
Release 0.8 of bzr introduces a new format for history storage, called
6245
'knit', as an evolution of to the 'weave' format used in 0.7. Local
6246
and remote operations are faster using knits than weaves. Several
6247
operations including 'init', 'init-repo', and 'upgrade' take a
6248
--format option that controls this. Branching from an existing branch
6249
will keep the same format.
6251
It is possible to merge, pull and push between branches of different
6252
formats but this is slower than moving data between homogenous
6253
branches. It is therefore recommended (but not required) that you
6254
upgrade all branches for a project at the same time. Information on
6255
formats is shown by 'bzr info'.
6257
bzr 0.8 now allows creation of 'repositories', which hold the history
6258
of files and revisions for several branches. Previously bzr kept all
6259
the history for a branch within the .bzr directory at the root of the
6260
branch, and this is still the default. To create a repository, use
6261
the new 'bzr init-repo' command. Branches exist as directories under
6262
the repository and contain just a small amount of information
6263
indicating the current revision of the branch.
6265
bzr 0.8 also supports 'checkouts', which are similar to in cvs and
6266
subversion. Checkouts are associated with a branch (optionally in a
6267
repository), which contains all the historical information. The
6268
result is that a checkout can be deleted without losing any
6269
already-committed revisions. A new 'update' command is also available.
6271
Repositories and checkouts are not supported with the 0.7 storage
6272
format. To use them you must upgrad to either knits, or to the
6273
'metaweave' format, which uses weaves but changes the .bzr directory
6279
* Sftp paths can now be relative, or local, according to the lftp
6280
convention. Paths now take the form::
6282
sftp://user:pass@host:port/~/relative/path
6284
sftp://user:pass@host:port/absolute/path
6286
* The FTP transport now tries to reconnect after a temporary
6287
failure. ftp put is made atomic. (Matthieu Moy)
6289
* The FTP transport now maintains a pool of connections, and
6290
reuses them to avoid multiple connections to the same host (like
6291
sftp did). (Daniel Silverstone)
6293
* The ``bzr_man.py`` file has been removed. To create the man page now,
6294
use ``./generate_docs.py man``. The new program can also create other files.
6295
Run ``python generate_docs.py --help`` for usage information.
6296
(Hans Ulrich Niedermann & James Blackwell).
6298
* Man Page now gives full help (James Blackwell).
6299
Help also updated to reflect user config now being stored in .bazaar
6300
(Hans Ulrich Niedermann)
6302
* It's now possible to set aliases in bazaar.conf (Erik Bågfors)
6304
* Pull now accepts a --revision argument (Erik Bågfors)
6306
* ``bzr re-sign`` now allows multiple revisions to be supplied on the command
6307
line. You can now use the following command to sign all of your old
6310
find .bzr/revision-store// -name my@email-* \
6311
| sed 's/.*\/\/..\///' \
6314
* Upgrade can now upgrade over the network. (Robert Collins)
6316
* Two new commands 'bzr checkout' and 'bzr update' allow for CVS/SVN-alike
6317
behaviour. By default they will cache history in the checkout, but
6318
with --lightweight almost all data is kept in the master branch.
6321
* 'revert' unversions newly-versioned files, instead of deleting them.
6323
* 'merge' is more robust. Conflict messages have changed.
6325
* 'merge' and 'revert' no longer clobber existing files that end in '~' or
6328
* Default log format can be set in configuration and plugins can register
6329
their own formatters. (Erik Bågfors)
6331
* New 'reconcile' command will check branch consistency and repair indexes
6332
that can become out of sync in pre 0.8 formats. (Robert Collins,
6335
* New 'bzr init --format' and 'bzr upgrade --format' option to control
6336
what storage format is created or produced. (Robert Collins,
6339
* Add parent location to 'bzr info', if there is one. (Olaf Conradi)
6341
* New developer commands 'weave-list' and 'weave-join'. (Martin Pool)
6343
* New 'init-repository' command, plus support for repositories in 'init'
6344
and 'branch' (Aaron Bentley, Erik Bågfors, Robert Collins)
6346
* Improve output of 'info' command. Show all relevant locations related to
6347
working tree, branch and repository. Use kibibytes for binary quantities.
6348
Fix off-by-one error in missing revisions of working tree. Make 'info'
6349
work on branches, repositories and remote locations. Show locations
6350
relative to the shared repository, if applicable. Show locking status
6351
of locations. (Olaf Conradi)
6353
* Diff and merge now safely handle binary files. (Aaron Bentley)
6355
* 'pull' and 'push' now normalise the revision history, so that any two
6356
branches with the same tip revision will have the same output from 'log'.
6359
* 'merge' accepts --remember option to store parent location, like 'push'
6360
and 'pull'. (Olaf Conradi)
6362
* bzr status and diff when files given as arguments do not exist
6363
in the relevant trees. (Martin Pool, #3619)
6365
* Add '.hg' to the default ignore list. (Martin Pool)
6367
* 'knit' is now the default disk format. This improves disk performance and
6368
utilization, increases incremental pull performance, robustness with SFTP
6369
and allows checkouts over SFTP to perform acceptably.
6370
The initial Knit code was contributed by Johan Rydberg based on a
6371
specification by Martin Pool.
6372
(Robert Collins, Aaron Bentley, Johan Rydberg, Martin Pool).
6374
* New tool to generate all-in-one html version of the manual. (Alexander
6377
* Hitting CTRL-C while doing an SFTP push will no longer cause stale locks
6378
to be left in the SFTP repository. (Robert Collins, Martin Pool).
6380
* New option 'diff --prefix' to control how files are named in diff
6381
output, with shortcuts '-p0' and '-p1' corresponding to the options for
6382
GNU patch. (Alexander Belchenko, Goffredo Baroncelli, Martin Pool)
6384
* Add --revision option to 'annotate' command. (Olaf Conradi)
6386
* If bzr shows an unexpected revision-history after pulling (perhaps due
6387
to a reweave) it can now be corrected by 'bzr reconcile'.
6392
* Commit is now verbose by default, and shows changed filenames and the
6393
new revision number. (Robert Collins, Martin Pool)
6395
* Unify 'mv', 'move', 'rename'. (Matthew Fuller, #5379)
6397
* 'bzr -h' shows help. (Martin Pool, Ian Bicking, #35940)
6399
* Make 'pull' and 'push' remember location on failure using --remember.
6402
* For compatibility, make old format for using weaves inside metadir
6403
available as 'metaweave' format. Rename format 'metadir' to 'default'.
6404
Clean up help for option --format in commands 'init', 'init-repo' and
6405
'upgrade'. (Olaf Conradi)
6409
* The internal storage of history, and logical branch identity have now
6410
been split into Branch, and Repository. The common locking and file
6411
management routines are now in bzrlib.lockablefiles.
6412
(Aaron Bentley, Robert Collins, Martin Pool)
6414
* Transports can now raise DependencyNotPresent if they need a library
6415
which is not installed, and then another implementation will be
6416
tried. (Martin Pool)
6418
* Remove obsolete (and no-op) `decode` parameter to `Transport.get`.
6421
* Using Tree Transform for merge, revert, tree-building
6423
* WorkingTree.create, Branch.create, ``WorkingTree.create_standalone``,
6424
Branch.initialize are now deprecated. Please see ``BzrDir.create_*`` for
6425
replacement API's. (Robert Collins)
6427
* New BzrDir class represents the .bzr control directory and manages
6428
formatting issues. (Robert Collins)
6430
* New repository.InterRepository class encapsulates Repository to
6431
Repository actions and allows for clean selection of optimised code
6432
paths. (Robert Collins)
6434
* ``bzrlib.fetch.fetch`` and ``bzrlib.fetch.greedy_fetch`` are now
6435
deprecated, please use ``branch.fetch`` or ``repository.fetch``
6436
depending on your needs. (Robert Collins)
6438
* deprecated methods now have a ``is_deprecated`` flag on them that can
6439
be checked, if you need to determine whether a given callable is
6440
deprecated at runtime. (Robert Collins)
6442
* Progress bars are now nested - see
6443
``bzrlib.ui.ui_factory.nested_progress_bar``.
6444
(Robert Collins, Robey Pointer)
6446
* New API call ``get_format_description()`` for each type of format.
6449
* Changed ``branch.set_parent()`` to accept None to remove parent.
6452
* Deprecated BzrError AmbiguousBase. (Olaf Conradi)
6454
* WorkingTree.branch is now a read only property. (Robert Collins)
6456
* bzrlib.ui.text.TextUIFactory now accepts a ``bar_type`` parameter which
6457
can be None or a factory that will create a progress bar. This is
6458
useful for testing or for overriding the bzrlib.progress heuristic.
6461
* New API method ``get_physical_lock_status()`` to query locks present on a
6462
transport. (Olaf Conradi)
6464
* Repository.reconcile now takes a thorough keyword parameter to allow
6465
requesting an indepth reconciliation, rather than just a data-loss
6466
check. (Robert Collins)
6468
* ``bzrlib.ui.ui_factory protocol`` now supports ``get_boolean`` to prompt
6469
the user for yes/no style input. (Robert Collins)
6473
* SFTP tests now shortcut the SSH negotiation, reducing test overhead
6474
for testing SFTP protocol support. (Robey Pointer)
6476
* Branch formats are now tested once per implementation (see ``bzrlib.
6477
tests.branch_implementations``. This is analagous to the transport
6478
interface tests, and has been followed up with working tree,
6479
repository and BzrDir tests. (Robert Collins)
6481
* New test base class TestCaseWithTransport provides a transport aware
6482
test environment, useful for testing any transport-interface using
6483
code. The test suite option --transport controls the transport used
6484
by this class (when its not being used as part of implementation
6485
contract testing). (Robert Collins)
6487
* Close logging handler on disabling the test log. This will remove the
6488
handler from the internal list inside python's logging module,
6489
preventing shutdown from closing it twice. (Olaf Conradi)
6491
* Move test case for uncommit to blackbox tests. (Olaf Conradi)
6493
* ``run_bzr`` and ``run_bzr_captured`` now accept a 'stdin="foo"'
6494
parameter which will provide String("foo") to the command as its stdin.
6501
* .bzrignore is excluded from exports, on the grounds that it's a bzr
6502
internal-use file and may not be wanted. (Jamie Wilkinson)
6504
* The "bzr directories" command were removed in favor of the new
6505
--kind option to the "bzr inventory" command. To list all
6506
versioned directories, now use "bzr inventory --kind directory".
6509
* Under Windows configuration directory is now ``%APPDATA%\bazaar\2.0``
6510
by default. (John Arbash Meinel)
6512
* The parent of Bzr configuration directory can be set by ``BZR_HOME``
6513
environment variable. Now the path for it is searched in ``BZR_HOME``,
6514
then in HOME. Under Windows the order is: ``BZR_HOME``, ``APPDATA``
6515
(usually points to ``C:\Documents and Settings\User Name\Application Data``),
6516
``HOME``. (John Arbash Meinel)
6518
* Plugins with the same name in different directories in the bzr plugin
6519
path are no longer loaded: only the first successfully loaded one is
6520
used. (Robert Collins)
6522
* Use systems' external ssh command to open connections if possible.
6523
This gives better integration with user settings such as ProxyCommand.
6526
* Permissions on files underneath .bzr/ are inherited from the .bzr
6527
directory. So for a shared repository, simply doing 'chmod -R g+w .bzr/'
6528
will mean that future file will be created with group write permissions.
6530
* configure.in and config.guess are no longer in the builtin default
6533
* '.sw[nop]' pattern ignored, to ignore vim swap files for nameless
6534
files. (John Arbash Meinel, Martin Pool)
6538
* "bzr INIT dir" now initializes the specified directory, and creates
6539
it if it does not exist. (John Arbash Meinel)
6541
* New remerge command (Aaron Bentley)
6543
* Better zsh completion script. (Steve Borho)
6545
* 'bzr diff' now returns 1 when there are changes in the working
6546
tree. (Robert Collins)
6548
* 'bzr push' now exists and can push changes to a remote location.
6549
This uses the transport infrastructure, and can store the remote
6550
location in the ~/.bazaar/branches.conf configuration file.
6553
* Test directories are only kept if the test fails and the user requests
6556
* Tweaks to short log printing
6558
* Added branch nicks, new nick command, printing them in log output.
6561
* If ``$BZR_PDB`` is set, pop into the debugger when an uncaught exception
6562
occurs. (Martin Pool)
6564
* Accept 'bzr resolved' (an alias for 'bzr resolve'), as this is
6565
the same as Subversion. (Martin Pool)
6567
* New ftp transport support (on ftplib), for ftp:// and aftp://
6568
URLs. (Daniel Silverstone)
6570
* Commit editor temporary files now start with ``bzr_log.``, to allow
6571
text editors to match the file name and set up appropriate modes or
6572
settings. (Magnus Therning)
6574
* Improved performance when integrating changes from a remote weave.
6575
(Goffredo Baroncelli)
6577
* Sftp will attempt to cache the connection, so it is more likely that
6578
a connection will be reused, rather than requiring multiple password
6581
* bzr revno now takes an optional argument indicating the branch whose
6582
revno should be printed. (Michael Ellerman)
6584
* bzr cat defaults to printing the last version of the file.
6585
(Matthieu Moy, #3632)
6587
* New global option 'bzr --lsprof COMMAND' runs bzr under the lsprof
6588
profiler. (Denys Duchier)
6590
* Faster commits by reading only the headers of affected weave files.
6593
* 'bzr add' now takes a --dry-run parameter which shows you what would be
6594
added, but doesn't actually add anything. (Michael Ellerman)
6596
* 'bzr add' now lists how many files were ignored per glob. add --verbose
6597
lists the specific files. (Aaron Bentley)
6599
* 'bzr missing' now supports displaying changes in diverged trees and can
6600
be limited to show what either end of the comparison is missing.
6601
(Aaron Bently, with a little prompting from Daniel Silverstone)
6605
* SFTP can walk up to the root path without index errors. (Robert Collins)
6607
* Fix bugs in running bzr with 'python -O'. (Martin Pool)
6609
* Error when run with -OO
6611
* Fix bug in reporting http errors that don't have an http error code.
6614
* Handle more cases of pipe errors in display commands
6616
* Change status to 3 for all errors
6618
* Files that are added and unlinked before committing are completely
6619
ignored by diff and status
6621
* Stores with some compressed texts and some uncompressed texts are now
6622
able to be used. (John A Meinel)
6624
* Fix for bzr pull failing sometimes under windows
6626
* Fix for sftp transport under windows when using interactive auth
6628
* Show files which are both renamed and modified as such in 'bzr
6629
status' output. (Daniel Silverstone, #4503)
6631
* Make annotate cope better with revisions committed without a valid
6632
email address. (Marien Zwart)
6634
* Fix representation of tab characters in commit messages.
6637
* List of plugin directories in ``BZR_PLUGIN_PATH`` environment variable is
6638
now parsed properly under Windows. (Alexander Belchenko)
6640
* Show number of revisions pushed/pulled/merged. (Robey Pointer)
6642
* Keep a cached copy of the basis inventory to speed up operations
6643
that need to refer to it. (Johan Rydberg, Martin Pool)
6645
* Fix bugs in bzr status display of non-ascii characters.
6648
* Remove Makefile.in from default ignore list.
6649
(Tollef Fog Heen, Martin Pool, #6413)
6651
* Fix failure in 'bzr added'. (Nathan McCallum, Martin Pool)
6655
* Fix selftest asking for passwords when there are no SFTP keys.
6656
(Robey Pointer, Jelmer Vernooij)
6658
* Fix selftest run with 'python -O'. (Martin Pool)
6660
* Fix HTTP tests under Windows. (John Arbash Meinel)
6662
* Make tests work even if HOME is not set (Aaron Bentley)
6664
* Updated ``build_tree`` to use fixed line-endings for tests which read
6665
the file cotents and compare. Make some tests use this to pass under
6666
Windows. (John Arbash Meinel)
6668
* Skip stat and symlink tests under Windows. (Alexander Belchenko)
6670
* Delay in selftest/testhashcash is now issued under win32 and Cygwin.
6671
(John Arbash Meinel)
6673
* Use terminal width to align verbose test output. (Martin Pool)
6675
* Blackbox tests are maintained within the bzrlib.tests.blackbox directory.
6676
If adding a new test script please add that to
6677
``bzrlib.tests.blackbox.__init__``. (Robert Collins)
6679
* Much better error message if one of the test suites can't be
6680
imported. (Martin Pool)
6682
* Make check now runs the test suite twice - once with the default locale,
6683
and once with all locales forced to C, to expose bugs. This is not
6684
trivially done within python, so for now its only triggered by running
6685
Make check. Integrators and packagers who wish to check for full
6686
platform support should run 'make check' to test the source.
6689
* Tests can now run TestSkipped if they can't execute for any reason.
6690
(Martin Pool) (NB: TestSkipped should only be raised for correctable
6691
reasons - see the wiki spec ImprovingBzrTestSuite).
6693
* Test sftp with relative, absolute-in-homedir and absolute-not-in-homedir
6694
paths for the transport tests. Introduce blackbox remote sftp tests that
6695
test the same permutations. (Robert Collins, Robey Pointer)
6697
* Transport implementation tests are now independent of the local file
6698
system, which allows tests for esoteric transports, and for features
6699
not available in the local file system. They also repeat for variations
6700
on the URL scheme that can introduce issues in the transport code,
6701
see bzrlib.transport.TransportTestProviderAdapter() for this.
6704
* ``TestCase.build_tree`` uses the transport interface to build trees,
6705
pass in a transport parameter to give it an existing connection.
6710
* WorkingTree.pull has been split across Branch and WorkingTree,
6711
to allow Branch only pulls. (Robert Collins)
6713
* ``commands.display_command`` now returns the result of the decorated
6714
function. (Robert Collins)
6716
* LocationConfig now has a ``set_user_option(key, value)`` call to save
6717
a setting in its matching location section (a new one is created
6718
if needed). (Robert Collins)
6720
* Branch has two new methods, ``get_push_location`` and
6721
``set_push_location`` to respectively, get and set the push location.
6724
* ``commands.register_command`` now takes an optional flag to signal that
6725
the registrant is planning to decorate an existing command. When
6726
given multiple plugins registering a command is not an error, and
6727
the original command class (whether built in or a plugin based one) is
6728
returned to the caller. There is a new error 'MustUseDecorated' for
6729
signalling when a wrapping command should switch to the original
6730
version. (Robert Collins)
6732
* Some option parsing errors will raise 'BzrOptionError', allowing
6733
granular detection for decorating commands. (Robert Collins).
6735
* ``Branch.read_working_inventory`` has moved to
6736
``WorkingTree.read_working_inventory``. This necessitated changes to
6737
``Branch.get_root_id``, and a move of ``Branch.set_inventory`` to
6738
WorkingTree as well. To make it clear that a WorkingTree cannot always
6739
be obtained ``Branch.working_tree()`` will raise
6740
``errors.NoWorkingTree`` if one cannot be obtained. (Robert Collins)
6742
* All pending merges operations from Branch are now on WorkingTree.
6745
* The follow operations from Branch have moved to WorkingTree::
6755
* ``bzrlib.add.smart_add_branch`` is now ``smart_add_tree``. (Robert Collins)
6757
* New "rio" serialization format, similar to rfc-822. (Martin Pool)
6759
* Rename selftests to ``bzrlib.tests.test_foo``. (John A Meinel, Martin
6762
* ``bzrlib.plugin.all_plugins`` has been changed from an attribute to a
6763
query method. (Robert Collins)
6765
* New options to read only the table-of-contents of a weave.
6768
* Raise NoSuchFile when someone tries to add a non-existant file.
6771
* Simplify handling of DivergedBranches in ``cmd_pull()``.
6774
* Branch.controlfile* logic has moved to lockablefiles.LockableFiles, which
6775
is exposed as ``Branch().control_files``. Also this has been altered with the
6776
controlfile pre/suffix replaced by simple method names like 'get' and
6777
'put'. (Aaron Bentley, Robert Collins).
6779
* Deprecated functions and methods can now be marked as such using the
6780
``bzrlib.symbol_versioning`` module. Marked method have their docstring
6781
updated and will issue a DeprecationWarning using the warnings module
6782
when they are used. (Robert Collins)
6784
* ``bzrlib.osutils.safe_unicode`` now exists to provide parameter coercion
6785
for functions that need unicode strings. (Robert Collins)
6792
* pull now takes --verbose to show you what revisions are added or removed
6795
* merge now takes a --show-base option to include the base text in
6799
* The config files are now read using ConfigObj, so '=' should be used as
6800
a separator, not ':'.
6803
* New 'bzr commit --strict' option refuses to commit if there are
6804
any unknown files in the tree. To commit, make sure all files are
6805
either ignored, added, or deleted. (Michael Ellerman)
6807
* The config directory is now ~/.bazaar, and there is a single file
6808
~/.bazaar/bazaar.conf storing email, editor and other preferences.
6811
* 'bzr add' no longer takes a --verbose option, and a --quiet option
6812
has been added that suppresses all output.
6814
* Improved zsh completion support in contrib/zsh, from Clint
6817
* Builtin 'bzr annotate' command, by Martin Pool with improvements from
6818
Goffredo Baroncelli.
6820
* 'bzr check' now accepts -v for verbose reporting, and checks for
6821
ghosts in the branch. (Robert Collins)
6823
* New command 're-sign' which will regenerate the gpg signature for
6824
a revision. (Robert Collins)
6826
* If you set ``check_signatures=require`` for a path in
6827
``~/.bazaar/branches.conf`` then bzr will invoke your
6828
``gpg_signing_command`` (defaults to gpg) and record a digital signature
6829
of your commit. (Robert Collins)
6831
* New sftp transport, based on Paramiko. (Robey Pointer)
6833
* 'bzr pull' now accepts '--clobber' which will discard local changes
6834
and make this branch identical to the source branch. (Robert Collins)
6836
* Just give a quieter warning if a plugin can't be loaded, and
6837
put the details in .bzr.log. (Martin Pool)
6839
* 'bzr branch' will now set the branch-name to the last component of the
6840
output directory, if one was supplied.
6842
* If the option ``post_commit`` is set to one (or more) python function
6843
names (must be in the bzrlib namespace), then they will be invoked
6844
after the commit has completed, with the branch and ``revision_id`` as
6845
parameters. (Robert Collins)
6847
* Merge now has a retcode of 1 when conflicts occur. (Robert Collins)
6849
* --merge-type weave is now supported for file contents. Tree-shape
6850
changes are still three-way based. (Martin Pool, Aaron Bentley)
6852
* 'bzr check' allows the first revision on revision-history to have
6853
parents - something that is expected for cheap checkouts, and occurs
6854
when conversions from baz do not have all history. (Robert Collins).
6856
* 'bzr merge' can now graft unrelated trees together, if your specify
6857
0 as a base. (Aaron Bentley)
6859
* 'bzr commit branch' and 'bzr commit branch/file1 branch/file2' now work
6862
* Add '.sconsign*' to default ignore list. (Alexander Belchenko)
6864
* 'bzr merge --reprocess' minimizes conflicts
6868
* The 'bzr selftest --pattern' option for has been removed, now
6869
test specifiers on the command line can be simple strings, or
6870
regexps, or both. (Robert Collins)
6872
* Passing -v to selftest will now show the time each test took to
6873
complete, which will aid in analysing performance regressions and
6874
related questions. (Robert Collins)
6876
* 'bzr selftest' runs all tests, even if one fails, unless '--one'
6877
is given. (Martin Pool)
6879
* There is a new method for TestCaseInTempDir, assertFileEqual, which
6880
will check that a given content is equal to the content of the named
6881
file. (Robert Collins)
6883
* Fix test suite's habit of leaving many temporary log files in $TMPDIR.
6888
* New 'testament' command and concept for making gpg-signatures
6889
of revisions that are not tied to a particular internal
6890
representation. (Martin Pool).
6892
* Per-revision properties ('revprops') as key-value associated
6893
strings on each revision created when the revision is committed.
6894
Intended mainly for the use of external tools. (Martin Pool).
6896
* Config options have moved from bzrlib.osutils to bzrlib.config.
6899
* Improved command line option definitions allowing explanations
6900
for individual options, among other things. Contributed by
6903
* Config options have moved from bzrlib.osutils to bzrlib.config.
6904
Configuration is now done via the config.Config interface:
6905
Depending on whether you have a Branch, a Location or no information
6906
available, construct a ``*Config``, and use its ``signature_checking``,
6907
``username`` and ``user_email`` methods. (Robert Collins)
6909
* Plugins are now loaded under bzrlib.plugins, not bzrlib.plugin, and
6910
they are made available for other plugins to use. You should not
6911
import other plugins during the ``__init__`` of your plugin though, as
6912
no ordering is guaranteed, and the plugins directory is not on the
6913
python path. (Robert Collins)
6915
* Branch.relpath has been moved to WorkingTree.relpath. WorkingTree no
6916
no longer takes an inventory, rather it takes an option branch
6917
parameter, and if None is given will open the branch at basedir
6918
implicitly. (Robert Collins)
6920
* Cleaner exception structure and error reporting. Suggested by
6921
Scott James Remnant. (Martin Pool)
6923
* Branch.remove has been moved to WorkingTree, which has also gained
6924
``lock_read``, ``lock_write`` and ``unlock`` methods for convenience.
6927
* Two decorators, ``needs_read_lock`` and ``needs_write_lock`` have been
6928
added to the branch module. Use these to cause a function to run in a
6929
read or write lock respectively. (Robert Collins)
6931
* ``Branch.open_containing`` now returns a tuple (Branch, relative-path),
6932
which allows direct access to the common case of 'get me this file
6933
from its branch'. (Robert Collins)
6935
* Transports can register using ``register_lazy_transport``, and they
6936
will be loaded when first used. (Martin Pool)
6938
* 'pull' has been factored out of the command as ``WorkingTree.pull()``.
6939
A new option to WorkingTree.pull has been added, clobber, which will
6940
ignore diverged history and pull anyway.
6943
* config.Config has a ``get_user_option`` call that accepts an option name.
6944
This will be looked up in branches.conf and bazaar.conf as normal.
6945
It is intended that this be used by plugins to support options -
6946
options of built in programs should have specific methods on the config.
6949
* ``merge.merge_inner`` now has tempdir as an optional parameter.
6952
* Tree.kind is not recorded at the top level of the hierarchy, as it was
6953
missing on EmptyTree, leading to a bug with merge on EmptyTrees.
6956
* ``WorkingTree.__del__`` has been removed, it was non deterministic and not
6957
doing what it was intended to. See ``WorkingTree.__init__`` for a comment
6958
about future directions. (Robert Collins/Martin Pool)
6960
* bzrlib.transport.http has been modified so that only 404 urllib errors
6961
are returned as NoSuchFile. Other exceptions will propogate as normal.
6962
This allows debuging of actual errors. (Robert Collins)
6964
* bzrlib.transport.Transport now accepts *ONLY* url escaped relative paths
6965
to apis like 'put', 'get' and 'has'. This is to provide consistent
6966
behaviour - it operates on url's only. (Robert Collins)
6968
* Transports can register using ``register_lazy_transport``, and they
6969
will be loaded when first used. (Martin Pool)
6971
* ``merge_flex`` no longer calls ``conflict_handler.finalize()``, instead that
6972
is called by ``merge_inner``. This is so that the conflict count can be
6973
retrieved (and potentially manipulated) before returning to the caller
6974
of ``merge_inner``. Likewise 'merge' now returns the conflict count to the
6975
caller. (Robert Collins)
6977
* ``revision.revision_graph`` can handle having only partial history for
6978
a revision - that is no revisions in the graph with no parents.
6981
* New ``builtins.branch_files`` uses the standard ``file_list`` rules to
6982
produce a branch and a list of paths, relative to that branch
6985
* New TestCase.addCleanup facility.
6987
* New ``bzrlib.version_info`` tuple (similar to ``sys.version_info``),
6988
which can be used by programs importing bzrlib.
6992
* Better handling of branches in directories with non-ascii names.
6993
(Joel Rosdahl, Panagiotis Papadakos)
6995
* Upgrades of trees with no commits will not fail due to accessing
6996
[-1] in the revision-history. (Andres Salomon)
6999
bzr 0.1.1 2005-10-12
7000
--------------------
7004
* Fix problem in pulling over http from machines that do not
7005
allow directories to be listed.
7007
* Avoid harmless warning about invalid hash cache after
7008
upgrading branch format.
7012
* Avoid some unnecessary http operations in branch and pull.
7020
* 'bzr branch' over http initially gives a very high estimate
7021
of completion time but it should fall as the first few
7022
revisions are pulled in. branch is still slow on
7023
high-latency connections.
7027
* bzr-man.py has been updated to work again. Contributed by
7030
* Locking is now done with fcntl.lockf which works with NFS
7031
file systems. Contributed by Harald Meland.
7033
* When a merge encounters a file that has been deleted on
7034
one side and modified on the other, the old contents are
7035
written out to foo.BASE and foo.SIDE, where SIDE is this
7036
or OTHER. Contributed by Aaron Bentley.
7038
* Export was choosing incorrect file paths for the content of
7039
the tarball, this has been fixed by Aaron Bentley.
7041
* Commit will no longer commit without a log message, an
7042
error is returned instead. Contributed by Jelmer Vernooij.
7044
* If you commit a specific file in a sub directory, any of its
7045
parent directories that are added but not listed will be
7046
automatically included. Suggested by Michael Ellerman.
7048
* bzr commit and upgrade did not correctly record new revisions
7049
for files with only a change to their executable status.
7050
bzr will correct this when it encounters it. Fixed by
7053
* HTTP tests now force off the use of ``http_proxy`` for the duration.
7054
Contributed by Gustavo Niemeyer.
7056
* Fix problems in merging weave-based branches that have
7057
different partial views of history.
7059
* Symlink support: working with symlinks when not in the root of a
7060
bzr tree was broken, patch from Scott James Remnant.
7064
* 'branch' now accepts a --basis parameter which will take advantage
7065
of local history when making a new branch. This allows faster
7066
branching of remote branches. Contributed by Aaron Bentley.
7068
* New tree format based on weave files, called version 5.
7069
Existing branches can be upgraded to this format using
7072
* Symlinks are now versionable. Initial patch by
7073
Erik Toubro Nielsen, updated to head by Robert Collins.
7075
* Executable bits are tracked on files. Patch from Gustavo
7078
* 'bzr status' now shows unknown files inside a selected directory.
7079
Patch from Heikki Paajanen.
7081
* Merge conflicts are recorded in .bzr. Two new commands 'conflicts'
7082
and 'resolve' have needed added, which list and remove those
7083
merge conflicts respectively. A conflicted tree cannot be committed
7084
in. Contributed by Aaron Bentley.
7086
* 'rm' is now an alias for 'remove'.
7088
* Stores now split out their content in a single byte prefixed hash,
7089
dropping the density of files per directory by 256. Contributed by
7092
* 'bzr diff -r branch:URL' will now perform a diff between two branches.
7093
Contributed by Robert Collins.
7095
* 'bzr log' with the default formatter will show merged revisions,
7096
indented to the right. Initial implementation contributed by Gustavo
7097
Niemeyer, made incremental by Robert Collins.
7102
* Test case failures have the exception printed after the log
7103
for your viewing pleasure.
7105
* InventoryEntry is now an abstract base class, use one of the
7106
concrete InventoryDirectory etc classes instead.
7108
* Branch raises an UnsupportedFormatError when it detects a
7109
bzr branch it cannot understand. This allows for precise
7110
handling of such circumstances.
7112
* Remove RevisionReference class; ``Revision.parent_ids`` is now simply a
7113
list of their ids and ``parent_sha1s`` is a list of their corresponding
7114
sha1s (for old branches only at the moment.)
7116
* New method-object style interface for Commit() and Fetch().
7118
* Renamed ``Branch.last_patch()`` to ``Branch.last_revision()``, since
7119
we call them revisions not patches.
7121
* Move ``copy_branch`` to ``bzrlib.clone.copy_branch``. The destination
7122
directory is created if it doesn't exist.
7124
* Inventories now identify the files which were present by
7125
giving the revision *of that file*.
7127
* Inventory and Revision XML contains a version identifier.
7128
This must be consistent with the overall branch version
7129
but allows for more flexibility in future upgrades.
7133
* Removed testsweet module so that tests can be run after
7134
bzr installed by 'bzr selftest'.
7136
* 'bzr selftest' command-line arguments can now be partial ids
7137
of tests to run, e.g. ``bzr selftest test_weave``
7140
bzr 0.0.9 2005-09-23
7141
--------------------
7145
* Fixed "branch -r" option.
7147
* Fix remote access to branches containing non-compressed history.
7150
* Better reliability of http server tests. (John Arbash-Meinel)
7152
* Merge graph maximum distance calculation fix. (Aaron Bentley)
7154
* Various minor bug in windows support have been fixed, largely in the
7155
test suite. Contributed by Alexander Belchenko.
7159
* Status now accepts a -r argument to give status between chosen
7160
revisions. Contributed by Heikki Paajanen.
7162
* Revision arguments no longer use +/-/= to control ranges, instead
7163
there is a 'before' namespace, which limits the successive namespace.
7164
For example '$ bzr log -r date:yesterday..before:date:today' will
7165
select everything from yesterday and before today. Contributed by
7168
* There is now a bzr.bat file created by distutils when building on
7169
Windows. Contributed by Alexander Belchenko.
7173
* Removed uuid() as it was unused.
7175
* Improved 'fetch' code for pulling revisions from one branch into
7176
another (used by pull, merged, etc.)
7179
bzr 0.0.8 2005-09-20
7180
--------------------
7184
* Adding a file whose parent directory is not versioned will
7185
implicitly add the parent, and so on up to the root. This means
7186
you should never need to explictly add a directory, they'll just
7187
get added when you add a file in the directory. Contributed by
7190
* Ignore ``.DS_Store`` (contains Mac metadata) by default.
7193
* If you set ``BZR_EDITOR`` in the environment, it is checked in
7194
preference to EDITOR and the config file for the interactive commit
7195
editing program. Related to this is a bugfix where a missing program
7196
set in EDITOR would cause editing to fail, now the fallback program
7197
for the operating system is still tried.
7199
* Files that are not directories/symlinks/regular files will no longer
7200
cause bzr to fail, it will just ignore them by default. You cannot add
7201
them to the tree though - they are not versionable.
7206
* Refactor xml packing/unpacking.
7210
* Fixed 'bzr mv' by Ollie Rutherfurd.
7212
* Fixed strange error when trying to access a nonexistent http
7215
* Make sure that the hashcache gets written out if it can't be
7221
* Various Windows fixes from Ollie Rutherfurd.
7223
* Quieten warnings about locking; patch from Matt Lavin.
7226
bzr-0.0.7 2005-09-02
7227
--------------------
7231
* ``bzr shell-complete`` command contributed by Clint Adams to
7232
help with intelligent shell completion.
7234
* New expert command ``bzr find-merge-base`` for debugging merges.
7239
* Much better merge support.
7241
* merge3 conflicts are now reported with markers like '<<<<<<<'
7242
(seven characters) which is the same as CVS and pleases things
7248
* ``bzr upgrade`` no longer fails when trying to fix trees that
7249
mention revisions that are not present.
7251
* Fixed bugs in listing plugins from ``bzr plugins``.
7253
* Fix case of $EDITOR containing options for the editor.
7255
* Fix log -r refusing to show the last revision.
7256
(Patch from Goffredo Baroncelli.)
7261
* ``bzr log --show-ids`` shows the revision ids of all parents.
7263
* Externally provided commands on your $BZRPATH no longer need
7264
to recognize --bzr-usage to work properly, and can just handle
7270
* Changed trace messages to go through the standard logging
7271
framework, so that they can more easily be redirected by
7276
bzr-0.0.6 2005-08-18
7277
--------------------
7281
* Python plugins, automatically loaded from the directories on
7282
``BZR_PLUGIN_PATH`` or ``~/.bzr.conf/plugins`` by default.
7284
* New 'bzr mkdir' command.
7286
* Commit mesage is fetched from an editor if not given on the
7287
command line; patch from Torsten Marek.
7289
* ``bzr log -m FOO`` displays commits whose message matches regexp
7292
* ``bzr add`` with no arguments adds everything under the current directory.
7294
* ``bzr mv`` does move or rename depending on its arguments, like
7297
* ``bzr missing`` command shows a summary of the differences
7298
between two trees. (Merged from John Arbash-Meinel.)
7300
* An email address for commits to a particular tree can be
7301
specified by putting it into .bzr/email within a branch. (Based
7302
on a patch from Heikki Paajanen.)
7307
* Faster working tree operations.
7312
* 3rd-party modules shipped with bzr are copied within the bzrlib
7313
python package, so that they can be installed by the setup
7314
script without clashing with anything already existing on the
7315
system. (Contributed by Gustavo Niemeyer.)
7317
* Moved plugins directory to bzrlib/, so that there's a standard
7318
plugin directory which is not only installed with bzr itself but
7319
is also available when using bzr from the development tree.
7320
``BZR_PLUGIN_PATH`` and ``DEFAULT_PLUGIN_PATH`` are then added to the
7321
standard plugins directory.
7323
* When exporting to a tarball with ``bzr export --format tgz``, put
7324
everything under a top directory rather than dumping it into the
7325
current directory. This can be overridden with the ``--root``
7326
option. Patch from William Dodé and John Meinel.
7328
* New ``bzr upgrade`` command to upgrade the format of a branch,
7329
replacing ``bzr check --update``.
7331
* Files within store directories are no longer marked readonly on
7334
* Changed ``bzr log`` output to a more compact form suggested by
7335
John A Meinel. Old format is available with the ``--long`` or
7336
``-l`` option, patched by William Dodé.
7338
* By default the commit command refuses to record a revision with
7339
no changes unless the ``--unchanged`` option is given.
7341
* The ``--no-plugins``, ``--profile`` and ``--builtin`` command
7342
line options must come before the command name because they
7343
affect what commands are available; all other options must come
7344
after the command name because their interpretation depends on
7347
* ``branch`` and ``clone`` added as aliases for ``branch``.
7349
* Default log format is back to the long format; the compact one
7350
is available with ``--short``.
7355
* Fix bugs in committing only selected files or within a subdirectory.
7358
bzr-0.0.5 2005-06-15
7359
---------------------
7363
* ``bzr`` with no command now shows help rather than giving an
7364
error. Suggested by Michael Ellerman.
7366
* ``bzr status`` output format changed, because svn-style output
7367
doesn't really match the model of bzr. Now files are grouped by
7368
status and can be shown with their IDs. ``bzr status --all``
7369
shows all versioned files and unknown files but not ignored files.
7371
* ``bzr log`` runs from most-recent to least-recent, the reverse
7372
of the previous order. The previous behaviour can be obtained
7373
with the ``--forward`` option.
7375
* ``bzr inventory`` by default shows only filenames, and also ids
7376
if ``--show-ids`` is given, in which case the id is the second
7382
* New 'bzr whoami --email' option shows only the email component
7383
of the user identification, from Jo Vermeulen.
7385
* New ``bzr ignore PATTERN`` command.
7387
* Nicer error message for broken pipe, interrupt and similar
7388
conditions that don't indicate an internal error.
7390
* Add ``.*.sw[nop] .git .*.tmp *,v`` to default ignore patterns.
7392
* Per-branch locks keyed on ``.bzr/branch-lock``, available in
7393
either read or write mode.
7395
* New option ``bzr log --show-ids`` shows revision and file ids.
7397
* New usage ``bzr log FILENAME`` shows only revisions that
7400
* Changed format for describing changes in ``bzr log -v``.
7402
* New option ``bzr commit --file`` to take a message from a file,
7403
suggested by LarstiQ.
7405
* New syntax ``bzr status [FILE...]`` contributed by Bartosz
7406
Oler. File may be in a branch other than the working directory.
7408
* ``bzr log`` and ``bzr root`` can be given an http URL instead of
7411
* Commands can now be defined by external programs or scripts
7412
in a directory on $BZRPATH.
7414
* New "stat cache" avoids reading the contents of files if they
7415
haven't changed since the previous time.
7417
* If the Python interpreter is too old, try to find a better one
7418
or give an error. Based on a patch from Fredrik Lundh.
7420
* New optional parameter ``bzr info [BRANCH]``.
7422
* New form ``bzr commit SELECTED`` to commit only selected files.
7424
* New form ``bzr log -r FROM:TO`` shows changes in selected
7425
range; contributed by John A Meinel.
7427
* New option ``bzr diff --diff-options 'OPTS'`` allows passing
7428
options through to an external GNU diff.
7430
* New option ``bzr add --no-recurse`` to add a directory but not
7433
* ``bzr --version`` now shows more information if bzr is being run
7439
* Fixed diff format so that added and removed files will be
7440
handled properly by patch. Fix from Lalo Martins.
7442
* Various fixes for files whose names contain spaces or other
7448
* Converted black-box test suites from Bourne shell into Python;
7449
now run using ``./testbzr``. Various structural improvements to
7452
* testbzr by default runs the version of bzr found in the same
7453
directory as the tests, or the one given as the first parameter.
7455
* testbzr also runs the internal tests, so the only command
7456
required to check is just ``./testbzr``.
7458
* testbzr requires python2.4, but can be used to test bzr running
7459
under a different version.
7461
* Tests added for many other changes in this release.
7466
* Included ElementTree library upgraded to 1.2.6 by Fredrik Lundh.

7469
Scott James Remnant.
7471

7473
* Expose ``bzrlib.open_tracefile()`` to start the tracefile; until
7474
this is called trace messages are just discarded.
7476
* New internal function ``find_touching_revisions()`` and hidden
7477
command touching-revisions trace the changes to a given file.
7479
* Simpler and faster ``compare_inventories()`` function.
7481
* ``bzrlib.open_tracefile()`` takes a tracefilename parameter.
7483
* New AtomicFile class.
7485
* New developer commands ``added``, ``modified``.
7490

bzr-0.0.4 2005-04-22
7495
---------------------
7499
* 'bzr diff' optionally takes a list of files to diff. Still a bit
7500
basic. Patch from QuantumG.
7502
* More default ignore patterns.
7504
* New 'bzr log --verbose' shows a list of files changed in the
7505
changeset. Patch from Sebastian Cote.
7507
* Roll over ~/.bzr.log if it gets too large.
7509
* Command abbreviations 'ci', 'st', 'stat', '?' based on a patch
7512
* New 'bzr help commands' based on a patch from Denys Duchier.

7518
or $EMAIL. All are decoded by the locale preferred encoding.
7519
If none of these are present user@hostname is used. The host's
7520
fully-qualified name is not used because that tends to fail when
7521
there are DNS problems.

7528
* Make commit safe for hardlinked bzr trees.
7530

7544
directory and delete it when done.
7546
* Smaller .bzr.log with process ids.
7551
* Fix opening of ~/.bzr.log on Windows. Patch from Andrew
7554
* Some improvements in handling paths on Windows, based on a patch

7587
exception when comparing empty files. Reported by Erik Toubro

7625
'deleted' lists files deleted in the current working tree.
7627
* Performance improvements.
7629
* New global --profile option.
7631
* Ignore patterns like './config.h' now correctly match files in
7632
the root directory only.
