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
* Add support for `bzr tags -r 1..2`, that is we now support showing
24
tags applicable for a specified revision range. (Marius Kruger)
26
* ``authentication.conf`` now accepts pluggable read-only credential
27
stores. Such a plugin (``netrc_credential_store``) is now included,
28
handles the ``$HOME/.netrc`` file and can server as an example to
29
implement other plugins.
32
* ``shelve --list`` can now be used to list shelved changes.
37
* Add trailing slash to directories in all output of ``bzr ls``, except
38
``bzr ls --null``. (Gordon P. Hemsley, #306424)
40
* ``bzr revision-info`` now supports a -d option to specify an
41
alternative branch. (Michael Hudson)
43
* Support the Claws mail client directly, rather than via
44
xdg-email. This prevents the display of an unnecessary modal
45
dialog in Claws, informing the user that a file has been
46
attached to the message, and works around bug #291847 in
47
xdg-utils which corrupts the destination address.
51
* Fix a problem with CIFS client/server lag on windows colliding with
52
an invariant-per-process algorithm for generating AtomicFile names
53
(Adrian Wilkins, #304023)
55
* Allow BzrDir implementation to implement backing up of
56
control directory. (#139691)
58
* Don't call iteritems on transport_list_registry, because it may
59
change during iteration. (Martin Pool, #277048)
61
* Don't make a broken branch when pushing an unstackable-format branch
62
that's in a stackable shared repository to a location with default
63
stack-on location. (Andrew Bennetts, #291046)
65
* Don't require embedding user in HTTP(S) URLs do use authentication.conf.
66
(Ben Jansen, Vincent Ladeuil, #300347)
68
* Fix bogus setUp signature in UnavailableFTPServer.
69
(Gary van der Merwe, #313498)
71
* Fix compilation error in ``_dirstate_helpers_c`` on SunOS/Solaris.
74
* Fix SystemError in ``_patiencediff_c`` module by calling
75
PyErr_NoMemory() before returning NULL in PatienceSequenceMatcher_new.
76
(Andrew Bennetts, #303206)
78
* Give proper error message for diff with non-existent dotted revno.
79
(Marius Kruger, #301969)
81
* Handle EACCES (permission denied) errors when launching a message
82
editor, and emit warnings when a configured editor cannot be
83
started. (Andrew Bennetts)
85
* ``$HOME/.netrc`` file is now recognized as a read-only credential store
86
if configured in ``authentication.conf`` with 'password_encoding=netrc'
87
in the appropriate sections.
88
(Vincent Ladeuil, #103029)
90
* Opening a stacked branch now properly shares the connection, rather
91
than opening a new connection for the stacked-on branch.
94
* Preserve transport decorators while following redirections.
95
(Vincent Ladeuil, #245964, #270863)
97
* Provides a finer and more robust filter for accepted redirections.
98
(Vincent Ladeuil, #303959, #265070)
100
* ``shelve`` paths are now interpreted relative to the current working
101
tree. (Aaron Bentley)
103
* ``Transport.readv()`` defaults to not reading more than 100MB in a
104
single array. Further ``RemoteTransport.readv`` sets this to 5MB to
105
work better with how it splits its requests.
106
(John Arbash Meinel, #303538)
108
* Pack repositories are now able to reload the pack listing and retry
109
the current operation if another action causes the data to be
110
repacked. (John Arbash Meinel, #153786)
112
* ``pull -v`` now respects the log_format configuration variable.
115
* ``push -v`` now works on non-initial pushes. (Aaron Bentley)
117
* Use the short status format when the short format is used for log.
118
(Vincent Ladeuil, #87179)
122
* Improved the formats help topic to explain why multiple formats
123
exist and to provide guidelines in selecting one. Introduced
124
two new supporting help topics: current-formats and other-formats.
129
* New ``ForeignRepository`` base class, to help with foreign branch
130
support (e.g. svn). (Jelmer Vernooij)
132
* ``node_distances`` and ``select_farthest`` can no longer be imported
133
from ``bzrlib.graph``. They can still be imported from
134
``bzrlib.deprecated_graph``, which has been the preferred way to
135
import them since before 1.0. (Andrew Bennetts)
137
* The logic in commit now delegates inventory basis calculations to
138
the ``CommitBuilder`` object; this requires that the commit builder
139
in use has been updated to support the new ``recording_deletes`` and
140
``record_delete`` methods. (Robert Collins)
144
* ``bzr selftest`` now fails if new trailing white space is added to
145
the bazaar sources. It only checks changes not committed yet. This
146
means that PQM will now reject changes that introduce new trailing
147
whitespace. (Marius Kruger)
149
* Introduced new experimental formats called ``1.12-preview`` and
150
``1.12-preview-rich-root`` to enable testing of related pending
151
features, namely content filtering and filtered views.
156
* Added an ``InventoryEntry`` cache when deserializing inventories.
157
Can cut the time to iterate over multiple RevisionsTrees in half.
160
* Added ``bzrlib.fifo_cache.FIFOCache`` which is designed to have
161
minimal overhead versus using a plain dict for cache hits, at the
162
cost of not preserving the 'active' set as well as an ``LRUCache``.
165
* ``bzrlib.patience_diff.unified_diff`` now properly uses a tab
166
character to separate the filename from the date stamp, and doesn't
167
add trailing whitespace when a date stamp is not supplied.
168
(Adeodato Simó, John Arbash Meinel)
170
* ``DirStateWorkingTree`` and ``DirStateWorkingTreeFormat`` added
171
as base classes of ``WorkingTree4`` and ``WorkingTreeFormat4``
172
respectively. (Ian Clatworthy)
174
* ``KnitVersionedFiles._check_should_delta()`` now uses the
175
``get_build_details`` api to avoid multiple hits to the index, and
176
to properly follow the ``compression_parent`` rather than assuming
177
it is the left-hand parent. (John Arbash Meinel)
179
* ``KnitVersionedFiles.get_record_stream()`` will now chose a
180
more optimal ordering when the keys are requested 'unordered'.
181
Previously the order was fully random, now the records should be
182
returned from each pack in turn, in forward I/O order.
185
* New method ``bzrlib.repository.Repository.add_inventory_by_delta``
186
allows adding an inventory via an inventory delta, which can be
187
more efficient for some repository types. (Robert Collins)
189
* Repository ``CommitBuilder`` objects can now accumulate an inventory
190
delta. To enable this functionality call ``builder.recording_deletes``
191
and additionally call ``builder.record_delete`` when a delete
192
against the basis occurs. (Robert Collins)
194
* The default http handler has been changed from pycurl to urllib.
195
The default is still pycurl for https connections. (The only
196
advantage of pycurl is that it checks ssl certificates.)
199
* ``VersionedFiles.get_record_stream()`` can now return objects with a
200
storage_kind of ``chunked``. This is a collection (list/tuple) of
201
strings. You can use ``osutils.chunks_to_lines()`` to turn them into
202
guaranteed 'lines' or you can use ``''.join(chunks)`` to turn it
203
into a fulltext. This allows for some very good memory savings when
204
asking for many texts that share ancestry, as the individual chunks
205
can be shared between versions of the file. (John Arbash Meinel)
207
* ``pull -v`` and ``push -v`` use new function
208
``bzrlib.log.show_branch_change`` (Aaron Bentley)
215
Bazaar 1.10 has several performance improvements for copying revisions
216
(especially for small updates to large projects). There has also been a
217
significant amount of effort in polishing stacked branches. The commands
218
``shelve`` and ``unshelve`` have become core commands, with an improved
221
The only changes versus bzr-1.10rc1 are bugfixes for stacked branches.
225
* Don't set a pack write cache size from RepoFetcher, because the
226
cache is not coherent with reads and causes ShortReadvErrors.
227
This reverses the change that fixed #294479.
228
(Martin Pool, #303856)
230
* Properly handle when a revision can be inserted as a delta versus
231
when it needs to be expanded to a fulltext for stacked branches.
232
There was a bug involving merge revisions. As a method to help
233
prevent future difficulties, also make stacked fetches sort
234
topologically. (John Arbash Meinel, #304841)
237
bzr 1.10rc1 2008-11-28
238
----------------------
240
This release of Bazaar focuses on performance improvements when pushing
241
and pulling revisions, both locally and to remote networks. The popular
242
``shelve`` and ``unshelve`` commands, used to interactively revert and
243
restore work in progress, have been merged from bzrtools into the bzr
244
core. There are also bug fixes for portability, and for stacked branches.
248
* New ``commit_message_template`` hook that is called by the commit
249
code to generate a template commit message. (Jelmer Vernooij)
251
* New `shelve` and `unshelve` commands allow undoing and redoing changes.
256
* ``(Remote)Branch.copy_content_into`` no longer generates the full revision
257
history just to set the last revision info.
258
(Andrew Bennetts, John Arbash Meinel)
260
* Fetches between formats with different serializers (such as
261
pack-0.92-subtree and 1.9-rich-root) are faster now. This is due to
262
operating on batches of 100 revisions at time rather than
263
one-by-one. (Andrew Bennetts, John Arbash Meinel)
265
* Search index files corresponding to pack files we've already used
266
before searching others, because they are more likely to have the
267
keys we're looking for. This reduces the number of iix and tix
268
files accessed when pushing 1 new revision, for instance.
271
* Signatures to transfer are calculated more efficiently in
272
``item_keys_introduced_by``. (Andrew Bennetts, John Arbash Meinel)
274
* The generic fetch code can once again copy revisions and signatures
275
without extracting them completely to fulltexts and then serializing
276
them back down into byte strings. This is a significant performance
277
improvement when fetching from a stacked branch.
278
(John Arbash Meinel, #300289)
280
* When making a large readv() request over ``bzr+ssh``, break up the
281
request into more manageable chunks. Because the RPC is not yet able
282
to stream, this helps keep us from buffering too much information at
283
once. (John Arbash Meinel)
287
* Better message when the user needs to set their Launchpad ID.
288
(Martin Pool, #289148)
290
* ``bzr commit --local`` doesn't access the master branch anymore.
291
This fixes a regression introduced in 1.9. (Marius Kruger, #299313)
293
* Don't call the system ``chdir()`` with an empty path. Sun OS seems
294
to give an error in that case. Also, don't count on ``getcwd()``
295
being able to allocate a new buffer, which is a gnu extension.
296
(John Arbash Meinel, Martin Pool, Harry Hirsch, #297831)
298
* Don't crash when requesting log --forward <file> for a revision range
299
starting with a dotted revno.
300
(Vincent Ladeuil, #300055)
302
* Don't create text deltas spanning stacked repositories; this could
303
cause "Revision X not present in Y" when later accessing them.
304
(Martin Pool, #288751)
306
* Pack repositories are now able to reload the pack listing and retry
307
the current operation if another action causes the data to be
308
repacked. (John Arbash Meinel, #153786)
310
* PermissionDenied errors from smart servers no longer cause
311
"PermissionDenied: "None"" on the client.
312
(Andrew Bennetts, #299254)
314
* Pushing to a stacked pack repository now batches writes, the same
315
way writes are batched to ordinary pack repository. This makes
316
pushing to a stacked branch over the network much faster.
317
(Andrew Bennetts, #294479)
319
* TooManyConcurrentRequests no longer occur when a fetch fails and
320
tries to abort a write group. This allows the root cause (e.g. a
321
network interruption) to be reported. (Andrew Bennetts, #297014)
323
* RemoteRepository.get_parent_map now uses fallback repositories.
324
(Aaron Bentley, #297991?, #293679?)
328
* ``CommitBuilder`` now validates the strings it will be committing,
329
to ensure that they do not have characters that will not be properly
330
round-tripped. For now, it just checks for characters that are
331
invalid in the XML form. (John Arbash Meinel, #295161)
333
* Constructor parameters for NewPack (internal to pack repositories)
334
have changed incompatibly.
336
* ``Repository.abort_write_group`` now accepts an optional
337
``suppress_errors`` flag. Repository implementations that override
338
``abort_write_group`` will need to be updated to accept the new
339
argument. Subclasses that only override ``_abort_write_group``
340
don't need to change.
342
* Transport implementations must provide copy_tree_to_transport. A default
343
implementation is provided for Transport subclasses.
347
* ``bzr selftest`` now fails if no doctests are found in a module
348
that's expected to have them. (Martin Pool)
350
* Doctests now only report the first failure. (Martin Pool)
356
This release of Bazaar adds a new repository format, ``1.9``, with smaller
357
and more efficient index files. This format can be specified when
358
creating a new repository, or used to losslessly upgrade an existing
359
repository. bzr 1.9 also speeds most operations over the smart server
360
protocol, makes annotate faster, and uses less memory when making
361
checkouts or pulling large amounts of data.
365
* Fix "invalid property value 'branch-nick' for None" regression with
366
branches bound to svn branches. (Martin Pool, #293440)
368
* Fix SSL/https on Python2.6. (Vincent Ladeuil, #293054)
370
* ``SFTPTransport.readv()`` had a bug when requests were out-of-order.
371
This only triggers some-of-the-time on Knit format repositories.
372
(John Arbash Meinel, #293746)
375
bzr 1.9rc1 2008-10-31
376
---------------------
380
* New Branch hook ``transform_fallback_location`` allows a function to
381
be called when looking up the stacked source. (Michael Hudson)
383
* New repository formats ``1.9`` and ``1.9-rich-root``. These have all
384
the functionality of ``1.6``, but use the new btree indexes.
385
These indexes are both smaller and faster for access to historical
386
information. (John Arbash Meinel)
390
* ``BTreeIndex`` code now is able to prefetch extra pages to help tune
391
the tradeoff between bandwidth and latency. Should be tuned
392
appropriately to not impact commands which need minimal information,
393
but provide a significant boost to ones that need more context. Only
394
has a direct impact on the ``--development2`` format which uses
395
btree's for the indexes. (John Arbash Meinel)
397
* ``bzr dump-btree`` is a hidden command introduced to allow dumping
398
the contents of a compressed btree file. (John Arbash Meinel)
400
* ``bzr pack`` now tells the index builders to optimize for size. For
401
btree index repositories, this can save 25% of the index size
402
(mostly in the text indexes). (John Arbash Meinel)
404
* ``bzr push`` to an existing branch or repository on a smart server
405
is faster, due to Bazaar making more use of the ``get_parent_map``
406
RPC when querying the remote branch's revision graph.
409
* default username for bzr+ssh and sftp can be configured in
410
authentication.conf. (Aaron Bentley)
412
* launchpad-login now provides a default username for bzr+ssh and sftp
413
URLs, allowing username-free URLs to work for everyone. (Aaron Bentley)
415
* ``lp:`` lookups no longer include usernames, making them shareable and
416
shorter. (Aaron Bentley)
418
* New ``PackRepository.autopack`` smart server RPC, which does
419
autopacking entirely on the server. This is much faster than
420
autopacking via plain file methods, which downloads a large amount
421
of pack data and then re-uploads the same pack data into a single
422
file. This fixes a major (although infrequent) cause of lengthy
423
delays when using a smart server. For example, pushing the 10th
424
revision to a repository with 9 packs now takes 44 RPCs rather than
425
179, and much less bandwidth too. This requires Bazaar 1.9 on both
426
the client and the server, otherwise the client will fallback to the
427
slower method. (Andrew Bennetts)
431
* A failure to load a plugin due to an IncompatibleAPI exception is
432
now correctly reported. (Robert Collins, #279451)
434
* API versioning support now has a multiple-version checking api
435
``require_any_api``. (Robert Collins, #279447)
437
* ``bzr branch --stacked`` from a smart server to a standalone branch
438
works again. This fixes a regression in 1.7 and 1.8.
439
(Andrew Bennetts, #270397)
441
* ``bzr co`` uses less memory. It used to unpack the entire WT into
442
memory before writing it to disk. This was a little bit faster, but
443
consumed lots of memory. (John Arbash Meinel, #269456)
445
* ``bzr missing --quiet`` no longer prints messages about whether
446
there are missing revisions. The exit code indicates whether there
447
were or not. (Martin Pool, #284748)
449
* Fixes to the ``annotate`` code. The fast-path which re-used the
450
stored deltas was accidentally disabled all the time, instead of
451
only when a branch was stacked. Second, the code would accidentally
452
re-use a delta even if it wasn't against the left-parent, this
453
could only happen if ``bzr reconcile`` decided that the parent
454
ordering was incorrect in the file graph. (John Arbash Meinel)
456
* "Permission denied" errors that occur when pushing a new branch to a
457
smart server no longer cause tracebacks. (Andrew Bennetts, #278673)
459
* Some compatibility fixes for building the extensions with MSVC and
460
for python2.4. (John Arbash Meinel, #277484)
462
* The index logic is now able to reload the list of pack files if and
463
index ends up disappearing. We still don't reload if the pack data
464
itself goes missing after checking the index. This bug appears as a
465
transient failure (file not found) when another process is writing
466
to the repository. (John Arbash Meinel, #153786)
468
* ``bzr switch`` and ``bzr bind`` will now update the branch nickname if
469
it was previously set. All checkouts will now refer to the bound branch
470
for a nickname if one was not explicitly set.
471
(Marius Kruger, #230903)
475
* Improved hook documentation. (Michael Ernst)
479
* commands.plugins_cmds is now a CommandRegistry, not a dict.
483
* New AuthenticationConfig.set_credentials method allows easy programmatic
484
configuration of authetication credentials.
490
Bazaar 1.8 includes several fixes that improve working tree performance,
491
display of revision logs, and merges. The bzr testsuite now passes on OS
492
X and Python 2.6, and almost completely passes on Windows. The
493
smartserver code has gained several bug fixes and performance
494
improvements, and can now run server-side hooks within an http server.
498
* Fix "Must end write group" error when another error occurs during
499
``bzr push``. (Andrew Bennetts, #230902)
503
* Some Pyrex versions require the WIN32 macro defined to compile on
504
that platform. (Alexander Belchenko, Martin Pool, #277481)
507
bzr 1.8rc1 2008-10-07
508
---------------------
512
* ``bzr log file`` has been changed. It now uses a different method
513
for determining which revisions to show as merging the changes to
514
the file. It now only shows revisions which merged the change
515
towards your mainline. This simplifies the output, makes it faster,
516
and reduces memory consumption. (John Arbash Meinel)
518
* ``bzr merge`` now defaults to having ``--reprocess`` set, whenever
519
``--show-base`` is not supplied. (John Arbash Meinel)
521
* ``bzr+http//`` will now optionally load plugins and write logs on the
522
server. (Marius Kruger)
524
* ``bzrlib._dirstate_helpers_c.pyx`` does not compile correctly with
525
Pyrex 0.9.4.1 (it generates C code which causes segfaults). We
526
explicitly blacklist that version of the compiler for that
527
extension. Packaged versions will include .c files created with
528
pyrex >= 0.9.6 so it doesn't effect releases, only users running
529
from the source tree. (John Arbash Meinel, #276868)
533
* bzr is now compatible with python-2.6. python-2.6 is not yet officially
534
supported (nor released, tests were conducted with the dev version of
535
python-2.6rc2), but all known problems have been fixed. Feedback
537
(Vincent Ladeuil, #269535)
541
* ``bzr annotate`` will now include uncommitted changes from the local
542
working tree by default. Such uncommitted changes are given the
543
revision number they would get if a commit was done, followed with a
544
? to indicate that its not actually known. (Robert Collins, #3439)
546
* ``bzr branch`` now accepts a ``--standalone`` option, which creates a
547
standalone branch regardless of the presence of shared repositories.
550
* ``bzr push`` is faster in the case there are no new revisions to
551
push. It is also faster if there are no tags in the local branch.
554
* File changes during a commit will update the tree stat cache.
557
* Location aliases can now accept a trailing path. (Micheal Hudson)
559
* New hooks ``Lock.hooks`` when LockDirs are acquired and released.
560
(Robert Collins, MartinPool)
562
* Switching in heavyweight checkouts uses the master branch's context, not
563
the checkout's context. (Adrian Wilkins)
565
* ``status`` on large trees is now faster, due to optimisations in the
566
walkdirs code. Of particular note, the walkdirs code now performs
567
a temporary ``chdir()`` while reading a single directory; if your
568
platform has non thread-local current working directories (and is
569
not windows which has its own implementation), this may introduce a
570
race condition during concurrent uses of bzrlib. The bzrlib CLI
571
will not encounter this as it is single threaded for working tree
572
operations. (Robert Collins)
574
* The C extensions now build on python 2.4 (Robert Collins, #271939)
576
* The ``-Dhpss`` debug flag now reports the number of smart server
577
calls per medium to stderr. This is in addition to the existing
578
detailed logging to the .bzr.log trace file. (Andrew Bennetts)
582
* Avoid random failures arising from misinterpreted ``errno`` values
583
in ``_readdir_pyx.read_dir``.
584
(Martin Pool, #279381)
586
* Branching from a shared repository on a smart server into a new
587
repository now preserves the repository format.
588
(Andrew Bennetts, #269214)
590
* ``bzr log`` now accepts a ``--change`` option.
591
(Vincent Ladeuil, #248427)
593
* ``bzr missing`` now accepts an ``--include-merges`` option.
594
(Vincent Ladeuil, #233817)
596
* Don't try to filter (internally) '.bzr' from the files to be deleted if
598
(Vincent Ladeuil, #272648)
600
* Fix '_in_buffer' AttributeError when using the -Dhpss debug flag.
603
* Fix TooManyConcurrentRequests errors caused by a connection failure
604
when doing ``bzr pull`` or ``bzr merge`` from a ``bzr+ssh`` URL.
605
(Andrew Bennetts, #246233)
607
* Fixed ``bzr st -r branch:PATH_TO_BRANCH`` where the other branch
608
is in a different repository than the current one.
609
(Lukáš Lalinský, #144421)
611
* Make the first line of the manpage preamble a comment again.
612
(David Futcher, #242106)
614
* Remove use of optional parameter in GSSAPI FTP support, since
615
it breaks newer versions of Python-Kerberos. (Jelmer Vernooij)
617
* The autopacking logic will now always create a single new pack from
618
all of the content which it deems is worth moving. This avoids the
619
'repack a single pack' bug and should result in better packing
620
overall. (John Arbash Meinel, #242510, #172644)
622
* Trivial documentation fix.
623
(John Arbash Meinel, #270471)
625
* ``bzr switch`` and ``bzr bind`` will now update the branch nickname if
626
it was previously set. All checkouts will now refer to the bound branch
627
for a nickname if one was not explicitly set.
628
(Marius Kruger, #230903)
632
* Explain revision/range identifiers. (Daniel Clemente)
636
* ``CommitBuilder.record_entry_contents`` returns one more element in
637
its result tuple - an optional file system hash for the hash cache
638
to use. (Robert Collins)
640
* ``dirstate.DirState.update_entry`` will now only calculate the sha1
641
of a file if it is likely to be needed in determining the output
642
of iter_changes. (Robert Collins)
644
* The PackRepository, RepositoryPackCollection, NewPack classes have a
645
slightly changed interface to support different index types; as a
646
result other users of these classes need to supply the index types
647
they want. (Robert Collins)
651
* ``bzrlib.tests.repository_implementations`` has been renamed to
652
``bzrlib.tests.per_repository`` so that we have a common structure
653
(and it is shorter). (John Arbash Meinel, #239343)
655
* ``LocalTransport.abspath()`` now returns a drive letter if the
656
transport has one, fixing numerous tests on Windows.
659
* PreviewTree is now tested via intertree_implementations.
662
* The full test suite is passing again on OSX.
663
(Guillermo Gonzalez, Vincent Ladeuil)
665
* The full test suite passes when run with ``-Eallow_debug``.
670
* A new hook, ``Branch.open``, has been added, which is called when
671
branch objects are opened. (Robert Collins)
673
* ``bzrlib.osutils._walkdirs_utf8`` has been refactored into common
674
tree walking, and modular directory listing code to aid future
675
performance optimisations and refactoring. (Robert Collins)
677
* ``bzrlib.trace.debug_memory`` can be used to get a quick memory dump
678
in the middle of processing. It only reports memory if
679
``/proc/PID/status`` is available. (John Arbash Meinel)
681
* New method ``RevisionSpec.as_tree`` for representing the revision
682
specifier as a revision tree object. (Lukáš Lalinský)
684
* New race-free method on MutableTree ``get_file_with_stat`` for use
685
when generating stat cache results. (Robert Collins)
687
* New win32utils.get_local_appdata_location() provides access to a local
688
directory for storing data. (Mark Hammond)
690
* To be compatible with python-2.6 a few new rules should be
691
observed. 'message' attribute can't be used anymore in exception
692
classes, 'sha' and 'md5' modules have been deprecated (use
693
osutils.[md5|sha]), object__init__ and object.__new__ don't accept
701
No changes from 1.7.1rc1.
704
bzr 1.7.1rc1 2008-09-24
705
-----------------------
707
This release just includes an update to how the merge algorithm handles
708
file paths when we encounter complex history.
712
* If we encounter a criss-cross in history, use information from
713
direct Least Common Ancestors to resolve inventory shape (locations
714
of files, adds, deletes, etc). This is similar in concept to using
715
``--lca`` for merging file texts, only applied to paths.
722
This release includes many bug fixes and a few performance and feature
723
improvements. ``bzr rm`` will now scan for missing files and remove them,
724
like how ``bzr add`` scans for unknown files and adds them. A bit more
725
polish has been applied to the stacking code. The b-tree indexing code has
726
been brought in, with an eye on using it in a future repository format.
727
There are only minor installer changes since bzr-1.7rc2.
731
* Some small updates to the win32 installer. Include localization
732
files found in plugins, and include the builtin distutils as part of
733
packaging qbzr. (Mark Hammond)
736
bzr 1.7rc2 2008-09-17
737
---------------------
739
A few bug fixes from 1.7rc1. The biggest change is a new
740
``RemoteBranch.get_stacked_on_url`` rpc. This allows clients that are
741
trying to access a Stacked branch over the smart protocol, to properly
742
connect to the stacked-on location.
746
* Branching from a shared repository on a smart server into a new
747
repository now preserves the repository format.
748
(Andrew Bennetts, #269214)
750
* Branching from a stacked branch via ``bzr+ssh`` can properly connect
751
to the stacked-on branch. (Martin Pool, #261315)
753
* ``bzr init`` no longer re-opens the BzrDir multiple times.
756
* Fix '_in_buffer' AttributeError when using the -Dhpss debug flag.
760
bzr 1.7rc1 2008-09-09
761
---------------------
763
This release candidate for bzr 1.7 has several bug fixes and a few
764
performance and feature improvements. ``bzr rm`` will now scan for
765
missing files and remove them, like how ``bzr add`` scans for unknown
766
files and adds them. A bit more polish has been applied to the stacking
767
code. The b-tree indexing code has been brought in, with an eye on using
768
it in a future repository format.
773
* ``bzr export`` can now export a subdirectory of a project.
776
* ``bzr remove-tree`` will now refuse to remove a tree with uncommitted
777
changes, unless the ``--force`` option is specified.
778
(Lukáš Lalinský, #74101)
780
* ``bzr rm`` will now scan for files that are missing and remove just
781
them automatically, much as ``bzr add`` scans for new files that
782
are not ignored and adds them automatically. (Robert Collins)
786
* Support for GSSAPI authentication when using FTP as documented in
787
RFC2228. (Jelmer Vernooij, #49623)
789
* Add support for IPv6 in the smart server. (Jelmer Vernooij, #165014)
793
* A url like ``log+file:///tmp`` will log all access to that Transport
794
to ``.bzr.log``, which may help in debugging or profiling.
797
* ``bzr branch`` and ``bzr push`` use the default stacking policy if the
798
branch format supports it. (Aaron Bentley)
800
* ``bzr init`` and ``bzr init-repo`` will now print out the same as
801
``bzr info`` if it completed successfully.
804
* ``bzr uncommit`` logs the old tip revision id, and displays how to
805
restore the branch to that tip using ``bzr pull``. This allows you
806
to recover if you realize you uncommitted the wrong thing.
809
* Fix problems in accessing stacked repositories over ``bzr://``.
810
(Martin Pool, #261315)
812
* ``SFTPTransport.readv()`` was accidentally using ``list += string``,
813
which 'works', but adds each character separately to the list,
814
rather than using ``list.append(string)``. Fixing this makes the
815
SFTP transport a little bit faster (~20%) and use a bit less memory.
818
* When reading index files, if we happen to read the whole file in a
819
single request treat it as a ``_buffer_all`` request. This happens
820
most often on small indexes over remote transports, where we default
821
to reading 64kB. It saves a round trip for each small index during
822
fetch operations. Also, if we have read more than 50% of an index
823
file, trigger a ``_buffer_all`` on the next request. This works
824
around some inefficiencies because reads don't fall neatly on page
825
boundaries, so we would ignore those bytes, but request them again
826
later. This could trigger a total read size of more than the whole
827
file. (John Arbash Meinel)
831
* ``bzr rm`` is now aliased to ``bzr del`` for the convenience of svn
832
users. (Robert Collins, #205416)
834
* Catch the infamous "select/poll returned error" which occurs when
835
pycurl try to send a body request to an HTTP/1.0 server which has
836
already refused to handle the request. (Vincent Ladeuil, #225020)
838
* Fix ``ObjectNotLocked`` errors when using various commands
839
(including ``bzr cat`` and ``bzr annotate``) in combination with a
840
smart server URL. (Andrew Bennetts, #237067)
842
* ``FTPTransport.stat()`` would return ``0000`` as the permission bits
843
for the containing ``.bzr/`` directory (it does not implement
844
permissions). This would cause us to set all subdirectories to
845
``0700`` and files to ``0600`` rather than leaving them unmodified.
846
Now we ignore ``0000`` as the permissions and assume they are
847
invalid. (John Arbash Meinel, #259855)
849
* Merging from a previously joined branch will no longer cause
850
a traceback. (Jelmer Vernooij, #203376)
852
* Pack operations on windows network shares will work even with large
853
files. (Robert Collins, #255656)
855
* Running ``bzr st PATH_TO_TREE`` will no longer suppress merge
856
status. Status is also about 7% faster on mozilla sized trees
857
when the path to the root of the tree has been given. Users of
858
the internal ``show_tree_status`` function should be aware that
859
the show_pending flag is now authoritative for showing pending
860
merges, as it was originally. (Robert Collins, #225204)
862
* Set valid default _param_name for Option so that ListOption can embed
863
'-' in names. (Vincent Ladeuil, #263249)
865
* Show proper error rather than traceback when an unknown revision
866
id is specified to ``bzr cat-revision``. (Jelmer Vernooij, #175569)
868
* Trailing text in the dirstate file could cause the C dirstate parser
869
to try to allocate an invalid amount of memory. We now properly
870
check and test for parsing a dirstate with invalid trailing data.
871
(John Arbash Meinel, #186014)
873
* Unexpected error responses from a smart server no longer cause the
874
client to traceback. (Andrew Bennetts, #263527)
876
* Use a Windows api function to get a Unicode host name, rather than
877
assuming the host name is ascii.
878
(Mark Hammond, John Arbash Meinel, #256550)
880
* ``WorkingTree4`` trees will now correctly report missing-and-new
881
paths in the output of ``iter_changes``. (Robert Collins)
885
* Updated developer documentation. (Martin Pool)
889
* Exporters now take 4 parameters. (Robert Collins)
891
* ``Tree.iter_changes`` will now return False for the content change
892
field when a file is missing in the basis tree and not present in
893
the target tree. Previously it returned True unconditionally.
896
* The deprecated ``Branch.abspath`` and unimplemented
897
``Branch.rename_one`` and ``Branch.move`` were removed. (Jelmer Vernooij)
899
* BzrDir.clone_on_transport implementations must now accept a stacked_on
900
parameter. (Aaron Bentley)
902
* BzrDir.cloning_metadir implementations must now take a require_stacking
903
parameter. (Aaron Bentley)
907
* ``addCleanup`` now takes ``*arguments`` and ``**keyword_arguments``
908
which are then passed to the cleanup callable as it is run. In
909
addition, addCleanup no longer requires that the callables passed to
910
it be unique. (Jonathan Lange)
912
* Fix some tests that fail on Windows because files are deleted while
916
* ``selftest``'s ``--starting-with`` option can now use predefined
917
prefixes so that one can say ``bzr selftest -s bp.loom`` instead of
918
``bzr selftest -s bzrlib.plugins.loom``. (Vincent Ladeuil)
920
* ``selftest``'s ``--starting-with`` option now accepts multiple values.
925
* A new plugin interface, ``bzrlib.log.log_adapters``, has been added.
926
This allows dynamic log output filtering by plugins.
929
* ``bzrlib.btree_index`` is now available, providing a b-tree index
930
layer. The design is memory conservative (limited memory cache),
931
faster to seek (approx 100 nodes per page, gives 100-way fan out),
932
and stores compressed pages allowing more keys per page.
933
(Robert Collins, John Arbash Meinel)
935
* ``bzrlib.diff.DiffTree.show_diff`` now skips changes where the kind
936
is unknown in both source and target.
937
(Robert Collins, Aaron Bentley)
939
* ``GraphIndexBuilder.add_node`` and ``BTreeBuilder`` have been
940
streamlined a bit. This should make creating large indexes faster.
941
(In benchmarking, it now takes less time to create a BTree index than
942
it takes to read the GraphIndex one.) (John Arbash Meinel)
944
* Mail clients for `bzr send` are now listed in a registry. This
945
allows plugins to add new clients by registering them with
946
``bzrlib.mail_client.mail_client_registry``. All of the built-in
947
clients now use this mechanism. (Neil Martinsen-Burrell)
953
A couple regressions were found in the 1.6 release. There was a
954
performance issue when using ``bzr+ssh`` to branch large repositories,
955
and some problems with stacking and ``rich-root`` capable repositories.
958
bzr 1.6.1rc2 2008-09-03
959
-----------------------
963
* Copying between ``rich-root`` and ``rich-root-pack`` (and vice
964
versa) was accidentally using the inter-model fetcher, instead of
965
recognizing that both were 'rich root' formats.
966
(John Arbash Meinel, #264321)
969
bzr 1.6.1rc1 2008-08-29
970
-----------------------
972
This release fixes a few regressions found in the 1.6 client. Fetching
973
changes was using an O(N^2) buffering algorithm, so for large projects it
974
would cause memory thrashing. There is also a specific problem with the
975
``--1.6-rich-root`` format, which prevented stacking on top of
976
``--rich-root-pack`` repositories, and could allow users to accidentally
977
fetch experimental data (``-subtree``) without representing it properly.
978
The ``--1.6-rich-root`` format has been deprecated and users are
979
recommended to upgrade to ``--1.6.1-rich-root`` immediately. Also we
980
re-introduced a workaround for users who have repositories with incorrect
981
nodes (not possible if you only used official releases).
982
I should also clarify that none of this is data loss level issues, but
983
still sufficient enough to warrant an updated release.
987
* ``RemoteTransport.readv()`` was being inefficient about how it
988
buffered the readv data and processed it. It would keep appending to
989
the same string (causing many copies) and then pop bytes out of the
990
start of the string (causing more copies).
991
With this patch "bzr+ssh://local" can improve dramatically,
992
especially for projects with large files.
995
* Revision texts were always meant to be stored as fulltexts. There
996
was a bug in a bzr.dev version that would accidentally create deltas
997
when copying from a Pack repo to a Knit repo. This has been fixed,
998
but to support those repositories, we know always request full texts
999
for Revision texts. (John Arbash Meinel, #261339)
1001
* The previous ``--1.6-rich-root`` format used an incorrect xml
1002
serializer, which would accidentally support fetching from a
1003
repository that supported subtrees, even though the local one would
1004
not. We deprecated that format, and introduced a new one that uses
1005
the correct serializer ``--1.6.1-rich-root``.
1006
(John Arbash Meinel, #262333)
1012
Finally, the long awaited bzr 1.6 has been released. This release includes
1013
new features like Stacked Branches, improved weave merge, and an updated
1014
server protocol (now on v3) which will allow for better cross version
1015
compatibility. With this release we have deprecated Knit format
1016
repositories, and recommend that users upgrade them, we will continue to
1017
support reading and writing them for the forseeable future, but we will
1018
not be tuning them for performance as pack repositories have proven to be
1019
better at scaling. This will also be the first release to bundle
1020
TortoiseBzr in the standalone Windows installer.
1023
bzr 1.6rc5 2008-08-19
1024
---------------------
1028
* Disable automatic detection of stacking based on a containing
1029
directory of the target. It interacted badly with push, and needs a
1030
bit more work to get the edges polished before it should happen
1031
automatically. (John Arbash Meinel, #259275)
1032
(This change was reverted when merged to bzr.dev)
1035
bzr 1.6rc4 2008-08-18
1036
---------------------
1040
* Fix a regression in knit => pack fetching. We had a logic
1041
inversion, causing the fetch to insert fulltexts in random order,
1042
rather than preserving deltas. (John Arbash Meinel, #256757)
1045
bzr 1.6rc3 2008-08-14
1046
---------------------
1050
* Disable reading ``.bzrrules`` as a per-branch rule preferences
1051
file. The feature was not quite ready for a full release.
1056
* Update the windows installer to bundle TortoiseBzr and ``qbzr``
1057
into the standalone installer. This will be the first official
1058
windows release that installs Tortoise by default.
1063
* Fix a regression in ``bzr+http`` support. There was a missing
1064
function (``_read_line``) that needed to be carried over from
1065
``bzr+ssh`` support. (Andrew Bennetts)
1067
* ``GraphIndex`` objects will internally read an entire index if more
1068
than 1/20th of their keyspace is requested in a single operation.
1069
This largely mitigates a performance regression in ``bzr log FILE``
1070
and completely corrects the performance regression in ``bzr log``.
1071
The regression was caused by removing an accomodation which had been
1072
supporting the index format in use. A newer index format is in
1073
development which is substantially faster. (Robert Collins)
1076
bzr 1.6rc2 2008-08-13
1077
---------------------
1079
This release candidate has a few minor bug fixes, and some regression
1084
* ``bzr upgrade`` on remote branches accessed via bzr:// and
1085
bzr+ssh:// now works. (Andrew Bennetts)
1087
* Change the ``get_format_description()`` strings for
1088
``RepositoryFormatKnitPack5`` et al to be single line messages.
1091
* Fix for a regression on Win32 where we would try to call
1092
``os.listdir()`` on a file and not catch the exception properly.
1093
(Windows raises a different exception.) This would manifest in
1094
places like ``bzr rm file`` or ``bzr switch``.
1095
(Mark Hammond, John Arbash Meinel)
1097
* ``Inventory.copy()`` was failing to set the revision property for
1098
the root entry. (Jelmer Vernooij)
1100
* sftp transport: added missing ``FileExists`` case to
1101
``_translate_io_exception`` (Christophe Troestler, #123475)
1103
* The help for ``bzr ignored`` now suggests ``bzr ls --ignored`` for
1104
scripting use. (Robert Collins, #3834)
1106
* The default ``annotate`` logic will now always assign the
1107
last-modified value of a line to one of the revisions that modified
1108
it, rather than a merge revision. This would happen when both sides
1109
claimed to have modified the line resulting in the same text. The
1110
choice is arbitrary but stable, so merges in different directions
1111
will get the same results. (John Arbash Meinel, #232188)
1114
bzr 1.6rc1 2008-08-06
1115
---------------------
1117
This release candidate for bzr 1.6 solidifies the new branch stacking
1118
feature. Bazaar now recommends that users upgrade all knit repositories,
1119
because later formats are much faster. However, we plan to continue read/write and
1120
upgrade support for knit repostories for the forseeable future. Several
1121
other bugs and performance issues were fixed.
1125
* Knit format repositories are deprecated and bzr will now emit
1126
warnings whenever it encounters one. Use ``bzr upgrade`` to upgrade
1127
knit repositories to pack format. (Andrew Bennetts)
1131
* ``bzr check`` can now be told which elements at a location it should
1132
check. (Daniel Watkins)
1134
* Commit now supports ``--exclude`` (or ``-x``) to exclude some files
1135
from the commit. (Robert Collins, #3117)
1137
* Fetching data between repositories that have the same model but no
1138
optimised fetcher will not reserialise all the revisions, increasing
1139
performance. (Robert Collins, John Arbash Meinel)
1141
* Give a more specific error when target branch is not reachable.
1144
* Implemented a custom ``walkdirs_utf8`` implementation for win32.
1145
This uses a pyrex extension to get direct access to the
1146
``FindFirstFileW`` style apis, rather than using ``listdir`` +
1147
``lstat``. Shows a very strong improvement in commands like
1148
``status`` and ``diff`` which have to iterate the working tree.
1149
Anywhere from 2x-6x faster depending on the size of the tree (bigger
1150
trees, bigger benefit.) (John Arbash Meinel)
1152
* New registry for log properties handles and the method in
1153
LongLogFormatter to display the custom properties returned by the
1154
registered handlers. (Guillermo Gonzalez, #162469)
1158
* Add more tests that stacking does not create deltas spanning
1159
physical repository boundaries.
1160
(Martin Pool, #252428)
1162
* Better message about incompatible repositories.
1163
(Martin Pool, #206258)
1165
* ``bzr branch --stacked`` ensures the destination branch format can
1166
support stacking, even if the origin does not.
1169
* ``bzr export`` no longer exports ``.bzrrules``.
1172
* ``bzr serve --directory=/`` now correctly allows the whole
1173
filesystem to be accessed on Windows, not just the root of the drive
1174
that Python is running from.
1175
(Adrian Wilkins, #240910)
1177
* Deleting directories by hand before running ``bzr rm`` will not
1178
cause subsequent errors in ``bzr st`` and ``bzr commit``.
1179
(Robert Collins, #150438)
1181
* Fix a test case that was failing if encoding wasn't UTF-8.
1182
(John Arbash Meinel, #247585)
1184
* Fix "no buffer space available" error when branching with the new
1185
smart server protocol to or from Windows.
1186
(Andrew Bennetts, #246180)
1188
* Fixed problem in branching from smart server.
1189
(#249256, Michael Hudson, Martin Pool)
1191
* Handle a file turning in to a directory in TreeTransform.
1192
(James Westby, #248448)
1196
* ``MutableTree.commit`` has an extra optional keywork parameter
1197
``exclude`` that will be unconditionally supplied by the command
1198
line UI - plugins that add tree formats may need an update.
1201
* The API minimum version for plugin compatibility has been raised to
1202
1.6 - there are significant changes throughout the code base.
1205
* The generic fetch code now uses three attributes on Repository objects
1206
to control fetch. The streams requested are controlled via :
1207
``_fetch_order`` and ``_fetch_uses_deltas``. Setting these
1208
appropriately allows different repository implementations to recieve
1209
data in their optimial form. If the ``_fetch_reconcile`` is set then
1210
a reconcile operation is triggered at the end of the fetch.
1213
* The ``put_on_disk`` and ``get_tar_item`` methods in
1214
``InventoryEntry`` were deprecated. (Ian Clatworthy)
1216
* ``Repository.is_shared`` doesn't take a read lock. It didn't
1217
need one in the first place (nobody cached the value, and
1218
``RemoteRepository`` wasn't taking one either). This saves a round
1219
trip when probing Pack repositories, as they read the ``pack-names``
1220
file when locked. And during probe, locking the repo isn't very
1221
useful. (John Arbash Meinel)
1225
* ``bzrlib.branchbuilder.BranchBuilder`` is now much more capable of
1226
putting together a real history without having to create a full
1227
WorkingTree. It is recommended that tests that are not directly
1228
testing the WorkingTree use BranchBuilder instead. See
1229
``BranchBuilder.build_snapshot`` or
1230
``TestCaseWithMemoryTree.make_branch_builder``. (John Arbash Meinel)
1232
* ``bzrlib.builtins.internal_tree_files`` broken into two giving a new
1233
helper ``safe_relpath_files`` - used by the new ``exclude``
1234
parameter to commit. (Robert Collins)
1236
* Make it easier to introduce new WorkingTree formats.
1239
* The code for exporting trees was refactored not to use the
1240
deprecated ``InventoryEntry`` methods. (Ian Clatworthy)
1242
* RuleSearchers return () instead of [] now when there are no matches.
1246
bzr 1.6beta3 2008-07-17
1247
-----------------------
1249
This release adds a new 'stacked branches' feature allowing branches to
1250
share storage without being in the same repository or on the same machine.
1251
(See the user guide for more details.) It also adds a new hook, improved
1252
weaves, aliases for related locations, faster bzr+ssh push, and several
1257
* New ``pre_change_branch_tip`` hook that is called before the
1258
branch tip is moved, while the branch is write-locked. See the User
1259
Reference for signature details. (Andrew Bennetts)
1261
* Rule-based preferences can now be defined for selected files in
1262
selected branches, allowing commands and plugins to provide
1263
custom behaviour for files matching defined patterns.
1264
See ``Rule-based preferences`` (part of ``Configuring Bazaar``)
1265
in the User Guide and ``bzr help rules`` for more information.
1268
* Sites may suggest a branch to stack new branches on. (Aaron Bentley)
1270
* Stacked branches are now supported. See ``bzr help branch`` and
1271
``bzr help push``. Branches must be in the ``development1`` format
1272
to stack, though the stacked-on branch can be of any format.
1277
* ``bzr export --format=tgz --root=NAME -`` to export a gzipped tarball
1278
to stdout; also ``tar`` and ``tbz2``.
1281
* ``bzr (re)merge --weave`` will now use a standard Weave algorithm,
1282
rather than the annotation-based merge it was using. It does so by
1283
building up a Weave of the important texts, without needing to build
1284
the full ancestry. (John Arbash Meinel, #238895)
1286
* ``bzr send`` documents and better supports ``emacsclient`` (proper
1287
escaping of mail headers and handling of the MUA Mew).
1288
(Christophe Troestler)
1290
* Remembered locations can be specified by aliases, e.g. :parent, :public,
1291
:submit. (Aaron Bentley)
1293
* The smart protocol now has improved support for setting branches'
1294
revision info directly. This makes operations like push
1295
faster. The new request method name is
1296
``Branch.set_last_revision_ex``. (Andrew Bennetts)
1300
* Bazaar is now able to be a client to the web server of IIS 6 and 7.
1301
The broken implementations of RFC822 in Python and RFC2046 in IIS
1302
combined with boundary-line checking in Bazaar previously made this
1303
impossible. (NB, IIS 5 does not suffer from this problem).
1304
(Adrian Wilkins, #247585)
1306
* ``bzr log --long`` with a ghost in your mainline now handles that
1307
ghost properly. (John Arbash Meinel, #243536)
1309
* ``check`` handles the split-up .bzr layout correctly, so no longer
1310
requires a branch to be present.
1311
(Daniel Watkins, #64783)
1313
* Clearer message about how to set the PYTHONPATH if bzrlib can't be
1315
(Martin Pool, #205230)
1317
* Errors about missing libraries are now shown without a traceback,
1318
and with a suggestion to install the library. The full traceback is
1319
still in ``.bzr.log`` and can be shown with ``-Derror``.
1320
(Martin Pool, #240161)
1322
* Fetch from a stacked branch copies all required data.
1323
(Aaron Bentley, #248506)
1325
* Handle urls such as ftp://user@host.com@www.host.com where the user
1327
(Neil Martinsen-Burrell, #228058)
1329
* ``needs_read_lock`` and ``needs_write_lock`` now suppress an error during
1330
``unlock`` if there was an error in the original function. This helps
1331
most when there is a failure with a smart server action, since often the
1332
connection closes and we cannot unlock.
1333
(Andrew Bennetts, John Arbash Meinel, #125784)
1335
* Obsolete hidden command ``bzr fetch`` removed.
1336
(Martin Pool, #172870)
1338
* Raise the correct exception when doing ``-rbefore:0`` or ``-c0``.
1339
(John Arbash Meinel, #239933)
1341
* You can now compare file revisions in Windows diff programs from
1343
(Matt McClure, #209281)
1345
* revision_history now tolerates mainline ghosts for Branch format 6.
1346
(Aaron Bentley, #235055)
1348
* Set locale from environment for third party libs.
1349
(Martin von Gagern, #128496)
1353
* Added *Using stacked branches* to the User Guide.
1356
* Updated developer documentation.
1361
* ``-Dmemory`` will cause /proc/PID/status to be catted before bzr
1362
exits, allowing low-key analysis of peak memory use. (Robert Collins)
1364
* ``TestCaseWithTransport.make_branch_and_tree`` tries harder to return
1365
a tree with a ``branch`` attribute of the right format. This was
1366
preventing some ``RemoteBranch`` tests from actually running with
1367
``RemoteBranch`` instances. (Andrew Bennetts)
1371
* Removed ``Repository.text_store``, ``control_store``, etc. Instead,
1372
there are new attributes ``texts, inventories, revisions,
1373
signatures``, each of which is a ``VersionedFiles``. See the
1374
Repository docstring for more details.
1377
* ``Branch.pull`` now accepts an ``_override_hook_target`` optional
1378
parameter. If you have a subclass of ``Branch`` that overrides
1379
``pull`` then you should add this parameter. (Andrew Bennetts)
1381
* ``bzrlib.check.check()`` has been deprecated in favour of the more
1382
aptly-named ``bzrlib.check.check_branch()``.
1385
* ``Tree.print_file`` and ``Repository.print_file`` are deprecated.
1386
These methods are bad APIs because they write directly to sys.stdout.
1387
bzrlib does not use them internally, and there are no direct tests
1388
for them. (Alexander Belchenko)
1392
* ``cat`` command no longer uses ``Tree.print_file()`` internally.
1393
(Alexander Belchenko)
1395
* New class method ``BzrDir.open_containing_tree_branch_or_repository``
1396
which eases the discovery of the tree, the branch and the repository
1397
containing a given location.
1400
* New ``versionedfile.KeyMapper`` interface to abstract out the access to
1401
underlying .knit/.kndx etc files in repositories with partitioned
1402
storage. (Robert Collins)
1404
* Obsolete developer-use command ``weave-join`` has been removed.
1407
* ``RemoteToOtherFetcher`` and ``get_data_stream_for_search`` removed,
1408
to support new ``VersionedFiles`` layering.
1412
bzr 1.6beta2 2008-06-10
1413
-----------------------
1415
This release contains further progress towards our 1.6 goals of shallow
1416
repositories, and contains a fix for some user-affecting bugs in the
1417
repository layer. Building working trees during checkout and branch is
1422
* Avoid KnitCorrupt error extracting inventories from some repositories.
1423
(The data is not corrupt; an internal check is detecting a problem
1424
reading from the repository.)
1425
(Martin Pool, Andrew Bennetts, Robert Collins, #234748)
1427
* ``bzr status`` was breaking if you merged the same revision twice.
1428
(John Arbash Meinel, #235407)
1430
* Fix infinite loop consuming 100% CPU when a connection is lost while
1431
reading a response body via the smart protocol v1 or v2.
1434
* Inserting a bundle which changes the contents of a file with no trailing
1435
end of line, causing a knit snapshot in a 'knits' repository will no longer
1436
cause KnitCorrupt. (Robert Collins)
1438
* ``RemoteBranch.pull`` needs to return the ``self._real_branch``'s
1439
pull result. It was instead just returning None, which breaks ``bzr
1440
pull``. (John Arbash Meinel, #238149)
1442
* Sanitize branch nick before using it as an attachment filename in
1443
``bzr send``. (Lukáš Lalinský, #210218)
1445
* Squash ``inv_entry.symlink_target`` to a plain string when
1446
generating DirState details. This prevents from getting a
1447
``UnicodeError`` when you have symlinks and non-ascii filenames.
1448
(John Arbash Meinel, #135320)
1452
* Added the 'alias' command to set/unset and display aliases. (Tim Penhey)
1454
* ``added``, ``modified``, and ``unknowns`` behaviour made consistent (all three
1455
now quote paths where required). Added ``--null`` option to ``added`` and
1456
``modified`` (for null-separated unknowns, use ``ls --unknown --null``)
1459
* Faster branching (1.09x) and lightweight checkouts (1.06x) on large trees.
1460
(Ian Clatworthy, Aaron Bentley)
1464
* Added *Bazaar Zen* section to the User Guide. (Ian Clatworthy)
1468
* Fix the test HTTPServer to be isolated from chdir calls made while it is
1469
running, allowing it to be used in blackbox tests. (Robert Collins)
1473
* ``WorkingTree.set_parent_(ids/trees)`` will now filter out revisions
1474
which are in the ancestry of other revisions. So if you merge the same
1475
tree twice, or merge an ancestor of an existing merge, it will only
1476
record the newest. (If you merge a descendent, it will replace its
1477
ancestor). (John Arbash Meinel, #235407)
1479
* ``RepositoryPolicy.__init__`` now requires stack_on and stack_on_pwd,
1480
through the derived classes do not. (Aaron Bentley)
1484
* ``bzrlib.bzrdir.BzrDir.sprout`` now accepts ``stacked`` to control
1485
creating stacked branches. (Robert Collins)
1487
* Knit record serialisation is now stricter on what it will accept, to
1488
guard against potential internal bugs, or broken input. (Robert Collins)
1491
bzr 1.6beta1 2008-06-02
1492
-----------------------
1495
Commands that work on the revision history such as push, pull, missing,
1496
uncommit and log are now substantially faster. This release adds a
1497
translation of some of the user documentation into Spanish. (Contributions of
1498
other translations would be very welcome.) Bazaar 1.6beta1 adds a new network
1499
protocol which is used by default and which allows for more efficient transfers
1500
and future extensions.
1503
NOTES WHEN UPGRADING:
1505
* There is a new version of the network protocol used for bzr://, bzr+ssh://
1506
and bzr+http:// connections. This will allow more efficient requests and
1507
responses, and more graceful fallback when a server is too old to
1508
recognise a request from a more recent client. Bazaar 1.6 will
1509
interoperate with 0.16 and later versions, but servers should be upgraded
1510
when possible. Bazaar 1.6 no longer interoperates with 0.15 and earlier via
1511
these protocols. Use alternatives like SFTP or upgrade those servers.
1512
(Andrew Bennetts, #83935)
1516
* Deprecation warnings will not be suppressed when running ``bzr selftest``
1517
so that developers can see if their code is using deprecated functions.
1518
(John Arbash Meinel)
1522
* Adding ``-Derror`` will now display a traceback when a plugin fails to
1523
load. (James Westby)
1527
* ``bzr branch/push/pull -r XXX`` now have a helper function for finding
1528
the revno of the new revision (``Graph.find_distance_to_null``). This
1529
should make something like ``bzr branch -r -100`` in a shared, no-trees
1530
repository much snappier. (John Arbash Meinel)
1532
* ``bzr log --short -r X..Y`` no longer needs to access the full revision
1533
history. This makes it noticeably faster when logging the last few
1534
revisions. (John Arbash Meinel)
1536
* ``bzr ls`` now accepts ``-V`` as an alias for ``--versioned``.
1537
(Jerad Cramp, #165086)
1539
* ``bzr missing`` uses the new ``Graph.find_unique_ancestors`` and
1540
``Graph.find_differences`` to determine missing revisions without having
1541
to search the whole ancestry. (John Arbash Meinel, #174625)
1543
* ``bzr uncommit`` now uses partial history access, rather than always
1544
extracting the full revision history for a branch. This makes it
1545
resolve the appropriate revisions much faster (in testing it drops
1546
uncommit from 1.5s => 0.4s). It also means ``bzr log --short`` is one
1547
step closer to not using full revision history.
1548
(John Arbash Meinel, #172649)
1552
* ``bzr merge --lca`` should handle when two revisions have no common
1553
ancestor other than NULL_REVISION. (John Arbash Meinel, #235715)
1555
* ``bzr status`` was breaking if you merged the same revision twice.
1556
(John Arbash Meinel, #235407)
1558
* ``bzr push`` with both ``--overwrite`` and ``-r NNN`` options no longer
1559
fails. (Andrew Bennetts, #234229)
1561
* Correctly track the base URL of a smart medium when using bzr+http://
1562
URLs, which was causing spurious "No repository present" errors with
1563
branches in shared repositories accessed over bzr+http.
1564
(Andrew Bennetts, #230550)
1566
* Define ``_remote_is_at_least_1_2`` on ``SmartClientMedium`` so that all
1567
implementations have the attribute. Fixes 'PyCurlTransport' object has no
1568
attribute '_remote_is_at_least_1_2' attribute errors.
1569
(Andrew Bennetts, #220806)
1571
* Failure to delete an obsolete pack file should just give a warning
1572
message, not a fatal error. It may for example fail if the file is still
1573
in use by another process.
1576
* Fix MemoryError during large fetches over HTTP by limiting the amount of
1577
data we try to read per ``recv`` call. The problem was observed with
1578
Windows and a proxy, but might affect other environments as well.
1579
(Eric Holmberg, #215426)
1581
* Handle old merge directives correctly in Merger.from_mergeable. Stricter
1582
get_parent_map requirements exposed a latent bug here. (Aaron Bentley)
1584
* Issue a warning and ignore passwords declared in authentication.conf when
1585
used for an ssh scheme (sftp or bzr+ssh).
1586
(Vincent Ladeuil, #203186)
1588
* Make both http implementations raise appropriate exceptions on 403
1589
Forbidden when POSTing smart requests.
1590
(Vincent Ladeuil, #230223)
1592
* Properly *title* header names in http requests instead of capitalizing
1594
(Vincent Ladeuil, #229076)
1596
* The "Unable to obtain lock" error message now also suggests using
1597
``bzr break-lock`` to fix it. (Martin Albisetti, #139202)
1599
* Treat an encoding of '' as ascii; this can happen when bzr is run
1600
under vim on Mac OS X.
1601
(Neil Martinsen-Burrell)
1603
* ``VersionedFile.make_mpdiffs()`` was raising an exception that wasn't in
1604
scope. (Daniel Fischer #235687)
1608
* Added directory structure and started translation of docs in spanish.
1609
(Martin Albisetti, Lucio Albenga)
1611
* Incorporate feedback from Jelmer Vernooij and Neil Martinsen-Burrell
1612
on the plugin and integration chapters of the User Guide.
1615
* More Bazaar developer documentation about packaging and release process,
1616
and about use of Python reprs.
1617
(Martin Pool, Martin Albisetti)
1619
* Updated Tortise strategy document. (Mark Hammond)
1623
* ``bzrlib.tests.adapt_tests`` was broken and unused - it has been fixed.
1626
* Fix the test HTTPServer to be isolated from chdir calls made while it is
1627
running, allowing it to be used in blackbox tests. (Robert Collins)
1629
* New helper function for splitting test suites
1630
``split_suite_by_condition``. (Robert Collins)
1634
* ``Branch.missing_revisions`` has been deprecated. Similar functionality
1635
can be obtained using ``bzrlib.missing.find_unmerged``. The api was
1636
fairly broken, and the function was unused, so we are getting rid of it.
1637
(John Arbash Meinel)
1641
* ``Branch.abspath`` is deprecated; use the Tree or Transport
1642
instead. (Martin Pool)
1644
* ``Branch.update_revisions`` now takes an optional ``Graph``
1645
object. This can be used by ``update_revisions`` when it is
1646
checking ancestry, and allows callers to prefer request to go to a
1647
local branch. (John Arbash Meinel)
1649
* Branch, Repository, Tree and BzrDir should expose a Transport as an
1650
attribute if they have one, rather than having it indirectly accessible
1651
as ``.control_files._transport``. This doesn't add a requirement
1652
to support a Transport in cases where it was not needed before;
1653
it just simplifies the way it is reached. (Martin Pool)
1655
* ``bzr missing --mine-only`` will return status code 0 if you have no
1656
new revisions, but the remote does. Similarly for ``--theirs-only``.
1657
The new code only checks one side, so it doesn't know if the other
1658
side has changes. This seems more accurate with the request anyway.
1659
It also changes the output to print '[This|Other] branch is up to
1660
date.' rather than displaying nothing. (John Arbash Meinel)
1662
* ``LockableFiles.put_utf8``, ``put_bytes`` and ``controlfilename``
1663
are now deprecated in favor of using Transport operations.
1666
* Many methods on ``VersionedFile``, ``Repository`` and in
1667
``bzrlib.revision`` deprecated before bzrlib 1.5 have been removed.
1670
* ``RevisionSpec.wants_revision_history`` can be set to False for a given
1671
``RevisionSpec``. This will disable the existing behavior of passing in
1672
the full revision history to ``self._match_on``. Useful for specs that
1673
don't actually need access to the full history. (John Arbash Meinel)
1675
* The constructors of ``SmartClientMedium`` and its subclasses now require a
1676
``base`` parameter. ``SmartClientMedium`` implementations now also need
1677
to provide a ``remote_path_from_transport`` method. (Andrew Bennetts)
1679
* The default permissions for creating new files and directories
1680
should now be obtained from ``BzrDir._get_file_mode()`` and
1681
``_get_dir_mode()``, rather than from LockableFiles. The ``_set_file_mode``
1682
and ``_set_dir_mode`` variables on LockableFiles which were advertised
1683
as a way for plugins to control this are no longer consulted.
1686
* ``VersionedFile.join`` is deprecated. This method required local
1687
instances of both versioned file objects and was thus hostile to being
1688
used for streaming from a smart server. The new get_record_stream and
1689
insert_record_stream are meant to efficiently replace this method.
1692
* ``WorkingTree.set_parent_(ids/trees)`` will now filter out revisions
1693
which are in the ancestry of other revisions. So if you merge the same
1694
tree twice, or merge an ancestor of an existing merge, it will only
1695
record the newest. (If you merge a descendent, it will replace its
1696
ancestor). (John Arbash Meinel, #235407)
1698
* ``WorkingTreeFormat2.stub_initialize_remote`` is now private.
1705
This release of Bazaar includes several updates to the documentation, and fixes
1706
to prepare for making rich root support the default format. Many bugs have been
1707
squashed, including fixes to log, bzr+ssh inter-operation with older servers.
1711
* Suppress deprecation warnings when bzrlib is a 'final' release. This way
1712
users of packaged software won't be bothered with DeprecationWarnings,
1713
but developers and testers will still see them. (John Arbash Meinel)
1717
* Incorporate feedback from Jelmer Vernooij and Neil Martinsen-Burrell
1718
on the plugin and integration chapters of the User Guide.
1722
bzr 1.5rc1 2008-05-09
1723
---------------------
1725
NOTES WHEN UPGRADING:
1729
* Broader support of GNU Emacs mail clients. Set
1730
``mail_client=emacsclient`` in your bazaar.conf and ``send`` will pop the
1731
bundle in a mail buffer according to the value of ``mail-user-agent``
1732
variable. (Xavier Maillard)
1738
* Diff now handles revision specs like "branch:" and "submit:" more
1739
efficiently. (Aaron Bentley, #202928)
1741
* More friendly error given when attempt to start the smart server
1742
on an address already in use. (Andrea Corbellini, #200575)
1744
* Pull completes much faster when there is nothing to pull.
1749
* Authentication.conf can define sections without password.
1750
(Vincent Ladeuil, #199440)
1752
* Avoid muttering every time a child update does not cause a progress bar
1753
update. (John Arbash Meinel, #213771)
1755
* ``Branch.reconcile()`` is now implemented. This allows ``bzr reconcile``
1756
to fix when a Branch has a non-canonical mainline history. ``bzr check``
1757
also detects this condition. (John Arbash Meinel, #177855)
1759
* ``bzr log -r ..X bzr://`` was failing, because it was getting a request
1760
for ``revision_id=None`` which was not a string.
1761
(John Arbash Meinel, #211661)
1763
* ``bzr commit`` now works with Microsoft's FTP service.
1766
* Catch definitions outside sections in authentication.conf.
1767
(Vincent Ladeuil, #217650)
1769
* Conversion from non-rich-root to rich-root(-pack) updates inventory
1770
sha1s, even when bundles are used. (Aaron Bentley, #181391)
1772
* Conversion from non-rich-root to rich-root(-pack) works correctly even
1773
though search keys are not topologically sorted. (Aaron Bentley)
1775
* Conversion from non-rich-root to rich-root(-pack) works even when a
1776
parent revision has a different root id. (Aaron Bentley, #177874)
1778
* Disable strace testing until strace is fixed (see bug #103133) and emit a
1779
warning when selftest ends to remind us of leaking tests.
1780
(Vincent Ladeuil, #226769)
1782
* Fetching all revisions from a repository does not cause pack collisions.
1783
(Robert Collins, Aaron Bentley, #212908)
1785
* Fix error about "attempt to add line-delta in non-delta knit".
1786
(Andrew Bennetts, #217701)
1788
* Pushing a branch in "dirstate" format (Branch5) over bzr+ssh would break
1789
if the remote server was < version 1.2. This was due to a bug in the
1790
RemoteRepository.get_parent_map() fallback code.
1791
(John Arbash Meinel, #214894)
1793
* Remove leftover code in ``bzr_branch`` that inappropriately creates
1794
a ``branch-name`` file in the branch control directory.
1797
* Set SO_REUSEADDR on server sockets of ``bzr serve`` to avoid problems
1798
rebinding the socket when starting the server a second time.
1799
(John Arbash Meinel, Martin Pool, #164288)
1801
* Severe performance degradation in fetching from knit repositories to
1802
knits and packs due to parsing the entire revisions.kndx on every graph
1803
walk iteration fixed by using the Repository.get_graph API. There was
1804
another regression in knit => knit fetching which re-read the index for
1805
every revision each side had in common.
1806
(Robert Collins, John Arbash Meinel)
1808
* When logging the changes to a particular file, there was a bug if there
1809
were ghosts in the revision ancestry. (John Arbash Meinel, #209948)
1811
* xs4all's ftp server returns a temporary error when trying to list an
1812
empty directory, rather than returning an empty list. Adding a
1813
workaround so that we don't get spurious failures.
1814
(John Arbash Meinel, #215522)
1818
* Expanded the User Guide to include new chapters on popular plugins and
1819
integrating Bazaar into your environment. The *Best practices* chapter
1820
was renamed to *Miscellaneous topics* as suggested by community
1821
feedback as well. (Ian Clatworthy)
1823
* Document outlining strategies for TortoiseBzr. (Mark Hammond)
1825
* Improved the documentation on hooks. (Ian Clatworthy)
1827
* Update authentication docs regarding ssh agents.
1828
(Vincent Ladeuil, #183705)
1832
* Add ``thread_name_suffix`` parameter to SmartTCPServer_for_testing, to
1833
make it easy to identify which test spawned a thread with an unhandled
1834
exception. (Andrew Bennetts)
1836
* New ``--debugflag``/``-E`` option to ``bzr selftest`` for setting
1837
options for debugging tests, these are complementary to the the -D
1838
options. The ``-Dselftest_debug`` global option has been replaced by the
1839
``-E=allow_debug`` option for selftest. (Andrew Bennetts)
1841
* Parameterised test ids are preserved correctly to aid diagnosis of test
1842
failures. (Robert Collins, Andrew Bennetts)
1844
* selftest now accepts --starting-with <id> to load only the tests whose id
1845
starts with the one specified. This greatly speeds up running the test
1846
suite on a limited set of tests and can be used to run the tests for a
1847
single module, a single class or even a single test. (Vincent Ladeuil)
1849
* The test suite modules have been modified to define load_tests() instead
1850
of test_suite(). That speeds up selective loading (via --load-list)
1851
significantly and provides many examples on how to migrate (grep for
1852
load_tests). (Vincent Ladeuil)
1856
* ``Hooks.install_hook`` is now deprecated in favour of
1857
``Hooks.install_named_hook`` which adds a required ``name`` parameter, to
1858
avoid having to call ``Hooks.name_hook``. (Daniel Watkins)
1860
* Implement xml8 serializer. (Aaron Bentley)
1862
* New form ``@deprecated_method(deprecated_in(1, 5, 0))`` for making
1863
deprecation wrappers. (Martin Pool)
1865
* ``Repository.revision_parents`` is now deprecated in favour of
1866
``Repository.get_parent_map([revid])[revid]``. (Jelmer Vernooij)
1868
* The Python ``assert`` statement is no longer used in Bazaar source, and
1869
a test checks this. (Martin Pool)
1873
* ``bzrlib.status.show_pending_merges`` requires the repository to be
1874
locked by the caller. Callers should have been doing it anyway, but it
1875
will now raise an exception if they do not. (John Arbash Meinel)
1877
* Repository.get_data_stream, Repository.get_data_stream_for_search(),
1878
Repository.get_deltas_for_revsions(), Repository.revision_trees(),
1879
Repository.item_keys_introduced_by() no longer take read locks.
1882
* ``LockableFiles.get_utf8`` and ``.get`` are deprecated, as a start
1883
towards removing LockableFiles and ``.control_files`` entirely.
1886
* Methods deprecated prior to 1.1 have been removed.
1893
This release of Bazaar includes handy improvements to the speed of log and
1894
status, new options for several commands, improved documentation, and better
1895
hooks, including initial code for server-side hooks. A number of bugs have
1896
been fixed, particularly in interoperability between different formats or
1897
different releases of Bazaar over there network. There's been substantial
1898
internal work in both the repository and network code to enable new features
1899
and faster performance.
1903
* Pushing a branch in "dirstate" format (Branch5) over bzr+ssh would break
1904
if the remote server was < version 1.2. This was due to a bug in the
1905
RemoteRepository.get_parent_map() fallback code.

1909
bzr 1.4rc2 2008-04-21
1910
---------------------
1914
* ``bzr log -r ..X bzr://`` was failing, because it was getting a request
1915
for ``revision_id=None`` which was not a string.
1916
(John Arbash Meinel, #211661)
1918
* Fixed a bug in handling ghost revisions when logging changes in a
1919
particular file. (John Arbash Meinel, #209948)
1921
* Fix error about "attempt to add line-delta in non-delta knit".
1922
(Andrew Bennetts, #205156)
1924
* Fixed performance degradation in fetching from knit repositories to
1925
knits and packs due to parsing the entire revisions.kndx on every graph
1926
walk iteration fixed by using the Repository.get_graph API. There was
1927
another regression in knit => knit fetching which re-read the index for
1928
every revision each side had in common.
1929
(Robert Collins, John Arbash Meinel)
1932
bzr 1.4rc1 2008-04-11
1933
---------------------
1937
* bzr main script cannot be imported (Benjamin Peterson)
1939
* On Linux bzr additionally looks for plugins in arch-independent site
1940
directory. (Toshio Kuratomi)
1942
* The ``set_rh`` branch hook is now deprecated. Please migrate
1943
any plugins using this hook to use an alternative, e.g.
1944
``post_change_branch_tip``. (Ian Clatworthy)
1946
* When a plugin cannot be loaded as the file path is not a valid
1947
python module name bzr will now strip a ``bzr_`` prefix from the
1948
front of the suggested name, as many plugins (e.g. bzr-svn)
1949
want to be installed without this prefix. It is a common mistake
1950
to have a folder named "bzr-svn" for that plugin, especially
1951
as this is what bzr branch lp:bzr-svn will give you. (James Westby,
1954
* UniqueIntegerBugTracker now appends bug-ids instead of joining
1955
them to the base URL. Plugins that register bug trackers may
1956
need a trailing / added to the base URL if one is not already there.
1957
(James Wesby, Andrew Cowie)
1961
* Added start_commit hook for mutable trees. (Jelmer Vernooij, #186422)
1963
* ``status`` now accepts ``--no-pending`` to show the status without
1964
listing pending merges, which speeds up the command a lot on large
1965
histories. (James Westby, #202830)
1967
* New ``post_change_branch_tip`` hook that is called after the
1968
branch tip is moved but while the branch is still write-locked.
1969
See the User Reference for signature details.
1970
(Ian Clatworthy, James Henstridge)
1972
* Reconfigure can convert a branch to be standalone or to use a shared
1973
repository. (Aaron Bentley)
1977
* The smart protocol now has support for setting branches' revision info
1978
directly. This should make operations like push slightly faster, and is a
1979
step towards server-side hooks. The new request method name is
1980
``Branch.set_last_revision_info``. (Andrew Bennetts)
1982
* ``bzr commit --fixes`` now recognises "gnome" as a tag by default.
1983
(James Westby, Andrew Cowie)
1985
* ``bzr switch`` will attempt to find branches to switch to relative to the
1986
current branch. E.g. ``bzr switch branchname`` will look for
1987
``current_branch/../branchname``. (Robert Collins, Jelmer Vernooij,
1990
* Diff is now more specific about execute-bit changes it describes
1993
* Fetching data over HTTP is a bit faster when urllib is used. This is done
1994
by forcing it to recv 64k at a time when reading lines in HTTP headers,
1995
rather than just 1 byte at a time. (Andrew Bennetts)
1997
* Log --short and --line are much faster when -r is not specified.
2000
* Merge is faster. We no longer check a file's existence unnecessarily
2001
when merging the execute bit. (Aaron Bentley)
2003
* ``bzr status`` on an explicit list of files no longer shows pending
2004
merges, making it much faster on large trees. (John Arbash Meinel)
2006
* The launchpad directory service now warns the user if they have not set
2007
their launchpad login and are trying to resolve a URL using it, just
2008
in case they want to do a write operation with it. (James Westby)
2010
* The smart protocol client is slightly faster, because it now only queries
2011
the server for the protocol version once per connection. Also, the HTTP
2012
transport will now automatically probe for and use a smart server if
2013
one is present. You can use the new ``nosmart+`` transport decorator
2014
to get the old behaviour. (Andrew Bennetts)
2016
* The ``version`` command takes a ``--short`` option to print just the
2017
version number, for easier use in scripts. (Martin Pool)
2019
* Various operations with revision specs and commands that calculate
2020
revnos and revision ids are faster. (John A. Meinel, Aaron Bentley)
2024
* Add ``root_client_path`` parameter to SmartWSGIApp and
2025
SmartServerRequest. This makes it possible to publish filesystem
2026
locations that don't exactly match URL paths. SmartServerRequest
2027
subclasses should use the new ``translate_client_path`` and
2028
``transport_from_client_path`` methods when dealing with paths received
2029
from a client to take this into account. (Andrew Bennetts, #124089)
2031
* ``bzr mv a b`` can be now used also to rename previously renamed
2032
directories, not only files. (Lukáš Lalinský, #107967)
2034
* ``bzr uncommit --local`` can now remove revisions from the local
2035
branch to be symmetric with ``bzr commit --local``.
2036
(John Arbash Meinel, #93412)
2038
* Don't ask for a password if there is no real terminal.
2039
(Alexander Belchenko, #69851)
2041
* Fix a bug causing a ValueError crash in ``parse_line_delta_iter`` when
2042
fetching revisions from a knit to pack repository or vice versa using
2043
bzr:// (including over http or ssh).
2044
(#208418, Andrew Bennetts, Martin Pool, Robert Collins)
2046
* Fixed ``_get_line`` in ``bzrlib.smart.medium``, which was buggy. Also
2047
fixed ``_get_bytes`` in the same module to use the push back buffer.
2048
These bugs had no known impact in normal use, but were problematic for
2049
developers working on the code, and were likely to cause real bugs sooner
2050
or later. (Andrew Bennetts)
2052
* Implement handling of basename parameter for DefaultMail. (James Westby)
2054
* Incompatibility with Paramiko versions newer than 1.7.2 was fixed.
2055
(Andrew Bennetts, #213425)
2057
* Launchpad locations (lp: URLs) can be pulled. (Aaron Bentley, #181945)
2059
* Merges that add files to deleted root directories complete. They
2060
do create conflicts. (Aaron Bentley, #210092)
2062
* vsftp's return ``550 RNFR command failed.`` supported.
2063
(Marcus Trautwig, #129786)
2067
* Improved documentation on send/merge relationship. (Peter Schuller)
2069
* Minor fixes to the User Guide. (Matthew Fuller)
2071
* Reduced the evangelism in the User Guide. (Ian Clatworthy)
2073
* Added Integrating with Bazaar document for developers (Martin Albisetti)
2077
* Attempting to pull data from a ghost aware repository (e.g. knits) into a
2078
non-ghost aware repository such as weaves will now fail if there are
2079
ghosts. (Robert Collins)
2081
* ``KnitVersionedFile`` no longer accepts an ``access_mode`` parameter, and
2082
now requires the ``index`` and ``access_method`` parameters to be
2083
supplied. A compatible shim has been kept in the new function
2084
``knit.make_file_knit``. (Robert Collins)
2086
* Log formatters must now provide log_revision instead of show and
2087
show_merge_revno methods. The latter had been deprecated since the 0.17
2088
release. (James Westby)
2090
* ``LoopbackSFTP`` is now called ``SocketAsChannelAdapter``.
2093
* ``osutils.backup_file`` is removed. (Alexander Belchenko)
2095
* ``Repository.get_revision_graph`` is deprecated, with no replacement
2096
method. The method was size(history) and not desirable. (Robert Collins)
2098
* ``revision.revision_graph`` is deprecated, with no replacement function.
2099
The function was size(history) and not desirable. (Robert Collins)
2101
* ``Transport.get_shared_medium`` is deprecated. Use
2102
``Transport.get_smart_medium`` instead. (Andrew Bennetts)
2104
* ``VersionedFile`` factories now accept a get_scope parameter rather
2105
than using a call to ``transaction_finished``, allowing the removal of
2106
the fixed list of versioned files per repository. (Robert Collins)
2108
* ``VersionedFile.annotate_iter`` is deprecated. While in principle this
2109
allowed lower memory use, all users of annotations wanted full file
2110
annotations, and there is no storage format suitable for incremental
2111
line-by-line annotation. (Robert Collins)
2113
* ``VersionedFile.clone_text`` is deprecated. This performance optimisation
2114
is no longer used - reading the content of a file that is undergoing a
2115
file level merge to identical state on two branches is rare enough, and
2116
not expensive enough to special case. (Robert Collins)
2118
* ``VersionedFile.clear_cache`` and ``enable_cache`` are deprecated.
2119
These methods added significant complexity to the ``VersionedFile``
2120
implementation, but were only used for optimising fetches from knits -
2121
which can be done from outside the knit layer, or via a caching
2122
decorator. As knits are not the default format, the complexity is no
2123
longer worth paying. (Robert Collins)
2125
* ``VersionedFile.create_empty`` is removed. This method presupposed a
2126
sensible mapping to a transport for individual files, but pack backed
2127
versioned files have no such mapping. (Robert Collins)
2129
* ``VersionedFile.get_graph`` is deprecated, with no replacement method.
2130
The method was size(history) and not desirable. (Robert Collins)
2132
* ``VersionedFile.get_graph_with_ghosts`` is deprecated, with no
2133
replacement method. The method was size(history) and not desirable.
2136
* ``VersionedFile.get_parents`` is deprecated, please use
2137
``VersionedFile.get_parent_map``. (Robert Collins)
2139
* ``VersionedFile.get_sha1`` is deprecated, please use
2140
``VersionedFile.get_sha1s``. (Robert Collins)
2142
* ``VersionedFile.has_ghost`` is now deprecated, as it is both expensive
2143
and unused outside of a single test. (Robert Collins)
2145
* ``VersionedFile.iter_parents`` is now deprecated in favour of
2146
``get_parent_map`` which can be used to instantiate a Graph on a
2147
VersionedFile. (Robert Collins)
2149
* ``VersionedFileStore`` no longer uses the transaction parameter given
2150
to most methods; amongst other things this means that the
2151
get_weave_or_empty method no longer guarantees errors on a missing weave
2152
in a readonly transaction, and no longer caches versioned file instances
2153
which reduces memory pressure (but requires more careful management by
2154
callers to preserve performance). (Robert Collins)
2158
* New -Dselftest_debug flag disables clearing of the debug flags during
2159
tests. This is useful if you want to use e.g. -Dhpss to help debug a
2160
failing test. Be aware that using this feature is likely to cause
2161
spurious test failures if used with the full suite. (Andrew Bennetts)
2163
* selftest --load-list now uses a new more agressive test loader that will
2164
avoid loading unneeded modules and building their tests. Plugins can use
2165
this new loader by defining a load_tests function instead of a test_suite
2166
function. (a forthcoming patch will provide many examples on how to
2170
* selftest --load-list now does some sanity checks regarding duplicate test
2171
IDs and tests present in the list but not found in the actual test suite.
2174
* Slightly more concise format for the selftest progress bar, so there's
2175
more space to show the test name. (Martin Pool) ::
2177
[2500/10884, 1fail, 3miss in 1m29s] test_revisionnamespaces.TestRev
2179
* The test suite takes much less memory to run, and is a bit faster. This
2180
is done by clearing most attributes of TestCases after running them, if
2181
they succeeded. (Andrew Bennetts)
2185
* Added ``_build_client_protocol`` to ``_SmartClient``. (Andrew Bennetts)
2187
* Added basic infrastructure for automatic plugin suggestion.
2190
* If a ``LockableFiles`` object is not explicitly unlocked (for example
2191
because of a missing ``try/finally`` block, it will give a warning but
2192
not automatically unlock itself. (Previously they did.) This
2193
sometimes caused knock-on errors if for example the network connection
2194
had already failed, and should not be relied upon by code.
2195
(Martin Pool, #109520)
2197
* ``make dist`` target to build a release tarball, and also
2198
``check-dist-tarball`` and ``dist-upload-escudero``. (Martin Pool)
2200
* The ``read_response_tuple`` method of ``SmartClientRequestProtocol*``
2201
classes will now raise ``UnknownSmartMethod`` when appropriate, so that
2202
callers don't need to try distinguish unknown request errors from other
2203
errors. (Andrew Bennetts)
2205
* ``set_make_working_trees`` is now implemented provided on all repository
2206
implementations (Aaron Bentley)
2208
* ``VersionedFile`` now has a new method ``get_parent_map`` which, like
2209
``Graph.get_parent_map`` returns a dict of key:parents. (Robert Collins)

Many operations that act on history, including ``log`` and ``annotate`` are now
2235
substantially faster. Several bugs have been fixed and several new options and

bzr 1.3rc1 2008-03-16
2246
---------------------
2248
NOTES WHEN UPGRADING:
2250
* The backup directory created by ``upgrade`` is now called
2251
``backup.bzr``, not ``.bzr.backup``. (Martin Albisetti)
2255
* A new repository format 'development' has been added. This format will
2256
represent the latest 'in-progress' format that the bzr developers are
2257
interested in getting early-adopter testing and feedback on.
2258
``doc/developers/development-repo.txt`` has detailed information.
2261
* BZR_LOG environment variable controls location of .bzr.log trace file.
2262
User can suppress writing messages to .bzr.log by using '/dev/null'
2263
filename (on Linux) or 'NUL' (on Windows). If BZR_LOG variable
2264
is not defined but BZR_HOME is defined then default location
2265
for .bzr.log trace file is ``$BZR_HOME/.bzr.log``.
2266
(Alexander Belchenko, #106117)
2268
* ``launchpad`` builtin plugin now shipped as separate part in standalone
2269
bzr.exe, installed to ``C:\Program Files\Bazaar\plugins`` directory,
2270
and standalone installer allows user to skip installation of this plugin.
2271
(Alexander Belchenko)
2273
* Restore auto-detection of plink.exe on Windows. (Dmitry Vasiliev)
2275
* Version number is now shown as "1.2" or "1.2pr2", without zeroed or
2276
missing final fields. (Martin Pool)
2280
* ``branch`` and ``checkout`` can hard-link working tree files, which is
2281
faster and saves space. (Aaron Bentley)
2283
* ``bzr send`` will now also look at the ``child_submit_to`` setting in
2284
the submit branch to determine the email address to send to.
2289
* BzrBranch._lefthand_history is faster on pack repos. (Aaron Bentley)
2291
* Branch6.generate_revision_history is faster. (Aaron Bentley)
2293
* Directory services can now be registered, allowing special URLs to be
2294
dereferenced into real URLs. This is a generalization and cleanup of
2295
the lp: transport lookup. (Aaron Bentley)
2297
* Merge directives that are automatically attached to emails have nicer
2298
filenames, based on branch-nick + revno. (Aaron Bentley)
2300
* ``push`` has a ``--revision`` option, to specify what revision to push up
2301
to. (Daniel Watkins)
2303
* Significantly reducing execution time and network traffic for trivial
2304
case of running ``bzr missing`` command for two identical branches.
2305
(Alexander Belchenko)
2307
* Speed up operations that look at the revision graph (such as 'bzr log').
2308
``KnitPackRepositor.get_revision_graph`` uses ``Graph.iter_ancestry`` to
2309
extract the revision history. This allows filtering ghosts while
2310
stepping instead of needing to peek ahead. (John Arbash Meinel)
2312
* The ``hooks`` command lists installed hooks, to assist in debugging.
2315
* Updates to how ``annotate`` work. Should see a measurable improvement in
2316
performance and memory consumption for file with a lot of merges.
2317
Also, correctly handle when a line is introduced by both parents (it
2318
should be attributed to the first merge which notices this, and not
2319
to all subsequent merges.) (John Arbash Meinel)
2323
* Autopacking no longer holds the full set of inventory lines in
2324
memory while copying. For large repositories, this can amount to
2325
hundreds of MB of ram consumption.
2326
(Ian Clatworthy, John Arbash Meinel)
2328
* Cherrypicking when using ``--format=merge3`` now explictly excludes
2329
BASE lines. (John Arbash Meinel, #151731)
2331
* Disable plink's interactive prompt for password.
2332
(#107593, Dmitry Vasiliev)
2334
* Encode command line arguments from unicode to user_encoding before
2335
invoking external mail client in `bzr send` command.
2336
(#139318, Alexander Belchenko)
2338
* Fixed problem connecting to ``bzr+https://`` servers.
2339
(#198793, John Ferlito)
2341
* Improved error reporting in the Launchpad plugin. (Daniel Watkins,
2344
* Include quick-start-summary.svg file to python-based installer(s)
2345
for Windows. (#192924, Alexander Belchenko)
2347
* lca merge now respects specified files. (Aaron Bentley)
2349
* Make version-info --custom imply --all. (#195560, James Westby)
2351
* ``merge --preview`` now works for merges that add or modify
2352
symlinks (James Henstridge)
2354
* Redirecting the output from ``bzr merge`` (when the remembered
2355
location is used) now works. (John Arbash Meinel)
2357
* setup.py script explicitly checks for Python version.
2358
(Jari Aalto, Alexander Belchenko, #200569)
2360
* UnknownFormatErrors no longer refer to branches regardless of kind of
2361
unknown format. (Daniel Watkins, #173980)
2363
* Upgrade bundled ConfigObj to version 4.5.2, which properly quotes #
2364
signs, among other small improvements. (Matt Nordhoff, #86838)
2366
* Use correct indices when emitting LCA conflicts. This fixes IndexError
2367
errors. (Aaron Bentley, #196780)
2371
* Explained how to use ``version-info --custom`` in the User Guide.
2372
(Neil Martinsen-Burrell)
2376
* Support for loading plugins from zip files and
2377
``bzrlib.plugin.load_from_zip()`` function are deprecated.
2378
(Alexander Belchenko)
2382
* Added missing blackbox tests for ``modified`` (Adrian Wilkins)
2384
* The branch interface tests were invalid for branches using rich-root
2385
repositories because the empty string is not a valid file-id.
2390
* ``Graph.iter_ancestry`` returns the ancestry of revision ids. Similar to
2391
``Repository.get_revision_graph()`` except it includes ghosts and you can
2392
stop part-way through. (John Arbash Meinel)
2394
* New module ``tools/package_mf.py`` provide custom module finder for
2395
python packages (improves standard python library's modulefinder.py)
2396
used by ``setup.py`` script while building standalone bzr.exe.
2397
(Alexander Belchenko)
2399
* New remote method ``RemoteBzrDir.find_repositoryV2`` adding support for
2400
detecting external lookup support on remote repositories. This method is
2401
now attempted first when lookup up repositories, leading to an extra
2402
round trip on older bzr smart servers. (Robert Collins)
2404
* Repository formats have a new supported-feature attribute
2405
``supports_external_lookups`` used to indicate repositories which support
2406
falling back to other repositories when they have partial data.
2409
* ``Repository.get_revision_graph_with_ghosts`` and
2410
``bzrlib.revision.(common_ancestor,MultipleRevisionSources,common_graph)``
2411
have been deprecated. (John Arbash Meinel)
2413
* ``Tree.iter_changes`` is now a public API, replacing the work-in-progress
2414
``Tree._iter_changes``. The api is now considered stable and ready for
2415
external users. (Aaron Bentley)
2417
* The bzrdir format registry now accepts an ``alias`` keyword to
2418
register_metadir, used to indicate that a format name is an alias for
2419
some other format and thus should not be reported when describing the
2420
format. (Robert Collins)
2428
* Fix failing test in Launchpad plugin. (Martin Pool)
2431
bzr 1.2rc1 2008-02-13
2432
---------------------
2434
NOTES WHEN UPGRADING:
2436
* Fetching via the smart protocol may need to reconnect once during a fetch
2437
if the remote server is running Bazaar 1.1 or earlier, because the client
2438
attempts to use more efficient requests that confuse older servers. You
2439
may be required to re-enter a password or passphrase when this happens.
2440
This won't happen if the server is upgraded to Bazaar 1.2.
2445
* Fetching via bzr+ssh will no longer fill ghosts by default (this is
2446
consistent with pack-0.92 fetching over SFTP). (Robert Collins)
2448
* Formatting of ``bzr plugins`` output is changed to be more human-
2449
friendly. Full path of plugins locations will be shown only with
2450
``--verbose`` command-line option. (Alexander Belchenko)
2452
* ``merge`` now prefers to use the submit branch, but will fall back to
2453
parent branch. For many users, this has no effect. But some users who
2454
pull and merge on the same branch will notice a change. This change
2455
makes it easier to work on a branch on two different machines, pulling
2456
between the machines, while merging from the upstream.
2457
``merge --remember`` can now be used to set the submit_branch.
2462
* ``merge --preview`` produces a diff of the changes merge would make,
2463
but does not actually perform the merge. (Aaron Bentley)
2465
* New smart method ``Repository.get_parent_map`` for getting revision
2466
parent data. This returns additional parent information topologically
2467
adjacent to the requested data to reduce round trip latency impacts.
2470
* New smart method, ``Repository.stream_revisions_chunked``, for fetching
2471
revision data that streams revision data via a chunked encoding. This
2472
avoids buffering large amounts of revision data on the server and on the
2473
client, and sends less data to the server to request the revisions.
2474
(Andrew Bennetts, Robert Collins, #178353)
2476
* The launchpad plugin now handles lp urls of the form
2477
``lp://staging/``, ``lp://demo/``, ``lp://dev/`` to use the appropriate
2478
launchpad instance to do the resolution of the branch identities.
2479
This is primarily of use to Launchpad developers, but can also
2480
be used by other users who want to try out Launchpad as
2481
a branch location without messing up their public Launchpad
2482
account. Branches that are pushed to the staging environment
2483
have an expected lifetime of one day. (Tim Penhey)
2487
* Creating a new branch no longer tries to read the entire revision-history
2488
unnecessarily over smart server operations. (Robert Collins)
2490
* Fetching between different repository formats with compatible models now
2491
takes advantage of the smart method to stream revisions. (Andrew Bennetts)
2493
* The ``--coverage`` option is now global, rather specific to ``bzr
2494
selftest``. (Andrew Bennetts)
2496
* The ``register-branch`` command will now use the public url of the branch
2497
containing the current directory, if one has been set and no explicit
2498
branch is provided. (Robert Collins)
2500
* Tweak the ``reannotate`` code path to optimize the 2-parent case.
2501
Speeds up ``bzr annotate`` with a pack repository by approx 3:2.
2502
(John Arbash Meinel)
2506
* Calculate remote path relative to the shared medium in _SmartClient. This
2507
is related to the problem in bug #124089. (Andrew Bennetts)
2509
* Cleanly handle connection errors in smart protocol version two, the same
2510
way as they are handled by version one. (Andrew Bennetts)
2512
* Clearer error when ``version-info --custom`` is used without
2513
``--template`` (Lukáš Lalinský)
2515
* Don't raise UnavailableFeature during test setup when medusa is not
2516
available or tearDown is never called leading to nasty side effects.
2517
(#137823, Vincent Ladeuil)
2519
* If a plugin's test suite cannot be loaded, for example because of a syntax
2520
error in the tests, then ``selftest`` fails, rather than just printing
2521
a warning. (Martin Pool, #189771)
2523
* List possible values for BZR_SSH environment variable in env-variables
2524
help topic. (Alexander Belchenko, #181842)
2526
* New methods ``push_log_file`` and ``pop_log_file`` to intercept messages:
2527
popping the log redirection now precisely restores the previous state,
2528
which makes it easier to use bzr log output from other programs.
2529
TestCaseInTempDir no longer depends on a log redirection being established
2530
by the test framework, which lets bzr tests cleanly run from a normal
2532
(#124153, #124849, Martin Pool, Jonathan Lange)
2534
* ``pull --quiet`` is now more quiet, in particular a message is no longer
2535
printed when the remembered pull location is used. (James Westby,
2538
* ``reconfigure`` can safely be interrupted while fetching.
2539
(Aaron Bentley, #179316)
2541
* ``reconfigure`` preserves tags when converting to and from lightweight
2542
checkouts. (Aaron Bentley, #182040)
2544
* Stop polluting /tmp when running selftest.
2545
(Vincent Ladeuil, #123623)
2547
* Switch from NFKC => NFC for normalization checks. NFC allows a few
2548
more characters which should be considered valid.
2549
(John Arbash Meinel, #185458)
2551
* The launchpad plugin now uses the ``edge`` xmlrpc server to avoid
2552
interacting badly with a bug on the launchpad side. (Robert Collins)
2554
* Unknown hostnames when connecting to a ``bzr://`` URL no longer cause
2555
tracebacks. (Andrew Bennetts, #182849)
2559
* Classes implementing Merge types like Merge3Merger must now accept (and
2560
honour) a do_merge flag in their constructor. (Aaron Bentley)
2562
* ``Repository.add_inventory`` and ``add_revision`` now require the caller
2563
to previously take a write lock (and start a write group.)
2568
* selftest now accepts --load-list <file> to load a test id list. This
2569
speeds up running the test suite on a limited set of tests.
2574
* Add a new method ``get_result`` to graph search objects. The resulting
2575
``SearchResult`` can be used to recreate the search later, which will
2576
be useful in reducing network traffic. (Robert Collins)
2578
* Use convenience function to check whether two repository handles
2579
are referring to the same repository in ``Repository.get_graph``.
2580
(Jelmer Vernooij, #187162)
2582
* Fetching now passes the find_ghosts flag through to the
2583
``InterRepository.missing_revision_ids`` call consistently for all
2584
repository types. This will enable faster missing revision discovery with
2585
bzr+ssh. (Robert Collins)
2587
* Fix error handling in Repository.insert_data_stream. (Lukas Lalinsky)
2589
* ``InterRepository.missing_revision_ids`` is now deprecated in favour of
2590
``InterRepository.search_missing_revision_ids`` which returns a
2591
``bzrlib.graph.SearchResult`` suitable for making requests from the smart
2592
server. (Robert Collins)
2594
* New error ``NoPublicBranch`` for commands that need a public branch to
2595
operate. (Robert Collins)
2597
* New method ``iter_inventories`` on Repository for access to many
2598
inventories. This is primarily used by the ``revision_trees`` method, as
2599
direct access to inventories is discouraged. (Robert Collins)
2601
* New method ``next_with_ghosts`` on the Graph breadth-first-search objects
2602
which will split out ghosts and present parents into two separate sets,
2603
useful for code which needs to be aware of ghosts (e.g. fetching data
2604
cares about ghosts during revision selection). (Robert Collins)
2606
* Record a timestamp against each mutter to the trace file, relative to the
2607
first import of bzrlib. (Andrew Bennetts)
2609
* ``Repository.get_data_stream`` is now deprecated in favour of
2610
``Repository.get_data_stream_for_search`` which allows less network
2611
traffic when requesting data streams over a smart server. (Robert Collins)
2613
* ``RemoteBzrDir._get_tree_branch`` no longer triggers ``_ensure_real``,
2614
removing one round trip on many network operations. (Robert Collins)
2616
* RemoteTransport's ``recommended_page_size`` method now returns 64k, like
2617
SFTPTransport and HttpTransportBase. (Andrew Bennetts)
2619
* Repository has a new method ``has_revisions`` which signals the presence
2620
of many revisions by returning a set of the revisions listed which are
2621
present. This can be done by index queries without reading data for parent
2622
revision names etc. (Robert Collins)
2628
(no changes from 1.1rc1)
2630
bzr 1.1rc1 2008-01-05
2631
---------------------
2635
* Dotted revision numbers have been revised. Instead of growing longer with
2636
nested branches the branch number just increases. (eg instead of 1.1.1.1.1
2637
we now report 1.2.1.) This helps scale long lived branches which have many
2638
feature branches merged between them. (John Arbash Meinel)
2640
* The syntax ``bzr diff branch1 branch2`` is no longer supported.
2641
Use ``bzr diff branch1 --new branch2`` instead. This change has
2642
been made to remove the ambiguity where ``branch2`` is in fact a
2643
specific file to diff within ``branch1``.
2647
* New option to use custom template-based formats in ``bzr version-info``.
2650
* diff '--using' allows an external diff tool to be used for files.
2653
* New "lca" merge-type for fast everyday merging that also supports
2654
criss-cross merges. (Aaron Bentley)
2658
* ``annotate`` now doesn't require a working tree. (Lukáš Lalinský,
2661
* ``branch`` and ``checkout`` can now use files from a working tree to
2662
to speed up the process. For checkout, this requires the new
2663
--files-from flag. (Aaron Bentley)
2665
* ``bzr diff`` now sorts files in alphabetical order. (Aaron Bentley)
2667
* ``bzr diff`` now works on branches without working trees. Tree-less
2668
branches can also be compared to each other and to working trees using
2669
the new diff options ``--old`` and ``--new``. Diffing between branches,
2670
with or without trees, now supports specific file filtering as well.
2671
(Ian Clatworthy, #6700)
2673
* ``bzr pack`` now orders revision texts in topological order, with newest
2674
at the start of the file, promoting linear reads for ``bzr log`` and the
2675
like. This partially fixes #154129. (Robert Collins)
2677
* Merge directives now fetch prerequisites from the target branch if
2678
needed. (Aaron Bentley)
2680
* pycurl now handles digest authentication.
2683
* ``reconfigure`` can now convert from repositories. (Aaron Bentley)
2685
* ``-l`` is now a short form for ``--limit`` in ``log``. (Matt Nordhoff)
2687
* ``merge`` now warns when merge directives cause cherrypicks.
2690
* ``split`` now supported, to enable splitting large trees into smaller
2691
pieces. (Aaron Bentley)
2695
* Avoid AttributeError when unlocking a pack repository when an error occurs.
2696
(Martin Pool, #180208)
2698
* Better handle short reads when processing multiple range requests.
2699
(Vincent Ladeuil, #179368)
2701
* build_tree acceleration uses the correct path when a file has been moved.
2704
* ``commit`` now succeeds when a checkout and its master branch share a
2705
repository. (Aaron Bentley, #177592)
2707
* Fixed error reporting of unsupported timezone format in
2708
``log --timezone``. (Lukáš Lalinský, #178722)
2710
* Fixed Unicode encoding error in ``ignored`` when the output is
2711
redirected to a pipe. (Lukáš Lalinský)
2713
* Fix traceback when sending large response bodies over the smart protocol
2714
on Windows. (Andrew Bennetts, #115781)
2716
* Fix ``urlutils.relative_url`` for the case of two ``file:///`` URLs
2717
pointed to different logical drives on Windows.
2718
(Alexander Belchenko, #90847)
2720
* HTTP test servers are now compatible with the http protocol version 1.1.
2721
(Vincent Ladeuil, #175524)
2723
* _KnitParentsProvider.get_parent_map now handles requests for ghosts
2724
correctly, instead of erroring or attributing incorrect parents to ghosts.
2727
* ``merge --weave --uncommitted`` now works. (Aaron Bentley)
2729
* pycurl authentication handling was broken and incomplete. Fix handling of
2730
user:pass embedded in the urls.
2731
(Vincent Ladeuil, #177643)
2733
* Files inside non-directories are now handled like other conflict types.
2734
(Aaron Bentley, #177390)
2736
* ``reconfigure`` is able to convert trees into lightweight checkouts.
2739
* Reduce lockdir timeout to 0 when running ``bzr serve``. (Andrew Bennetts,
2742
* Test that the old ``version_info_format`` functions still work, even
2743
though they are deprecated. (John Arbash Meinel, ShenMaq, #177872)
2745
* Transform failures no longer cause ImmortalLimbo errors (Aaron Bentley,
2748
* ``uncommit`` works even when the commit messages of revisions to be
2749
removed use characters not supported in the terminal encoding.
2752
* When dumb http servers return whole files instead of the requested ranges,
2753
read the remaining bytes by chunks to avoid overflowing network buffers.
2754
(Vincent Ladeuil, #175886)
2758
* Minor tweaks made to the bug tracker integration documentation.
2761
* Reference material has now be moved out of the User Guide and added
2762
to the User Reference. The User Reference has gained 4 sections as
2763
a result: Authenication Settings, Configuration Settings, Conflicts
2764
and Hooks. All help topics are now dumped into text format in the
2765
doc/en/user-reference directory for those who like browsing that
2766
information in their editor. (Ian Clatworthy)
2768
* *Using Bazaar with Launchpad* tutorial added. (Ian Clatworthy)
2772
* find_* methods available for BzrDirs, Branches and WorkingTrees.
2775
* Help topics can now be loaded from files.
2776
(Ian Clatworthy, Alexander Belchenko)
2778
* get_parent_map now always provides tuples as its output. (Aaron Bentley)
2780
* Parent Providers should now implement ``get_parent_map`` returning a
2781
dictionary instead of ``get_parents`` returning a list.
2782
``Graph.get_parents`` is now deprecated. (John Arbash Meinel,
2785
* Patience Diff now supports arbitrary python objects, as long as they
2786
support ``hash()``. (John Arbash Meinel)
2788
* Reduce selftest overhead to establish test names by memoization.
2795
* Modules can now customise their tests by defining a ``load_tests``
2796
attribute. ``pydoc bzrlib.tests.TestUtil.TestLoader.loadTestsFromModule``
2797
for the documentation on this attribute. (Robert Collins)
2799
* New helper function ``bzrlib.tests.condition_id_re`` which helps
2800
filter tests based on a regular expression search on the tests id.
2803
* New helper function ``bzrlib.tests.condition_isinstance`` which helps
2804
filter tests based on class. (Robert Collins)
2806
* New helper function ``bzrlib.tests.exclude_suite_by_condition`` which
2807
generalises the ``exclude_suite_by_re`` function. (Robert Collins)
2809
* New helper function ``bzrlib.tests.filter_suite_by_condition`` which
2810
generalises the ``filter_suite_by_re`` function. (Robert Collins)
2812
* New helper method ``bzrlib.tests.exclude_tests_by_re`` which gives a new
2813
TestSuite that does not contain tests from the input that matched a
2814
regular expression. (Robert Collins)
2816
* New helper method ``bzrlib.tests.randomize_suite`` which returns a
2817
randomized copy of the input suite. (Robert Collins)
2819
* New helper method ``bzrlib.tests.split_suite_by_re`` which splits a test
2820
suite into two according to a regular expression. (Robert Collins)
2822
* Parametrize all http tests for the transport implementations, the http
2823
protocol versions (1.0 and 1.1) and the authentication schemes.
2826
* The ``exclude_pattern`` and ``random_order`` parameters to the function
2827
``bzrlib.tests.filter_suite_by_re`` have been deprecated. (Robert Collins)
2829
* The method ``bzrlib.tests.sort_suite_by_re`` has been deprecated. It is
2830
replaced by the new helper methods added in this release. (Robert Collins)
2838
* More improvements and fixes to the User Guide. (Ian Clatworthy)
2840
* Add information on cherrypicking/rebasing to the User Guide.
2843
* Improve bug tracker integration documentation. (Ian Clatworthy)
2845
* Minor edits to ``Bazaar in five minutes`` from David Roberts and
2846
to the rebasing section of the User Guide from Aaron Bentley.
2850
bzr 1.0rc3 2007-12-11
2851
---------------------
2855
* If a traceback occurs, users are now asked to report the bug
2856
through Launchpad (https://bugs.launchpad.net/bzr/), rather than
2857
by mail to the mailing list.
2862
* Fix Makefile rules for doc generation. (Ian Clatworthy, #175207)
2864
* Give more feedback during long http downloads by making readv deliver data
2865
as it arrives for urllib, and issue more requests for pycurl. High latency
2866
networks are better handled by urllib, the pycurl implementation give more
2867
feedback but also incur more latency.
2868
(Vincent Ladeuil, #173010)
2870
* Implement _make_parents_provider on RemoteRepository, allowing generating
2871
bundles against branches on a smart server. (Andrew Bennetts, #147836)
2875
* Improved user guide. (Ian Clatworthy)
2877
* The single-page quick reference guide is now available as a PDF.
2882
* readv urllib http implementation is now a real iterator above the
2883
underlying socket and deliver data as soon as it arrives. 'get' still
2884
wraps its output in a StringIO.
2888
bzr 1.0rc2 2007-12-07
2889
---------------------
2893
* Added a --coverage option to selftest. (Andrew Bennetts)
2895
* Annotate merge (merge-type=weave) now supports cherrypicking.
2898
* ``bzr commit`` now doesn't print the revision number twice. (Matt
2901
* New configuration option ``bugtracker_<tracker_abbrevation>_url`` to
2902
define locations of bug trackers that are not directly supported by
2903
bzr or a plugin. The URL will be treated as a template and ``{id}``
2904
placeholders will be replaced by specific bug IDs. (Lukáš Lalinský)
2906
* Support logging single merge revisions with short and line log formatters.
2909
* User Guide enhanced with suggested readability improvements from
2910
Matt Revell and corrections from John Arbash Meinel. (Ian Clatworthy)
2912
* Quick Start Guide renamed to Quick Start Card, moved down in
2913
the catalog, provided in pdf and png format and updated to refer
2914
to ``send`` instead of ``bundle``. (Ian Clatworthy, #165080)
2916
* ``switch`` can now be used on heavyweight checkouts as well as
2917
lightweight ones. After switching a heavyweight checkout, the
2918
local branch is a mirror/cache of the new bound branch and
2919
uncommitted changes in the working tree are merged. As a safety
2920
check, if there are local commits in a checkout which have not
2921
been committed to the previously bound branch, then ``switch``
2922
fails unless the ``--force`` option is given. This option is
2923
now also required if the branch a lightweight checkout is pointing
2924
to has been moved. (Ian Clatworthy)
2928
* New -Dhttp debug option reports http connections, requests and responses.
2931
* New -Dmerge debug option, which emits merge plans for merge-type=weave.
2935
* Better error message when running ``bzr cat`` on a non-existant branch.
2936
(Lukáš Lalinský, #133782)
2938
* Catch OSError 17 (file exists) in final phase of tree transform and show
2940
(Alexander Belchenko, #111758)
2942
* Catch ShortReadvErrors while using pycurl. Also make readv more robust by
2943
allowing multiple GET requests to be issued if too many ranges are
2945
(Vincent Ladeuil, #172701)
2947
* Check for missing basis texts when fetching from packs to packs.
2948
(John Arbash Meinel, #165290)
2950
* Fall back to showing e-mail in ``log --short/--line`` if the
2951
committer/author has only e-mail. (Lukáš Lalinský, #157026)
2955
* Deprecate not passing a ``location`` argument to commit reporters'
2956
``started`` methods. (Matt Nordhoff)

bzr 1.0rc1 2007-11-30
2960
---------------------
2962
NOTES WHEN UPGRADING:
2964
* The default repository format is now ``pack-0.92``. This
2965
default is used when creating new repositories with ``init`` and
2966
``init-repo``, and when branching over bzr+ssh or bzr+hpss.
2967
(See https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/164626)
2969
This format can be read and written by Bazaar 0.92 and later, and
2970
data can be transferred to and from older formats.
2972
To upgrade, please reconcile your repository (``bzr reconcile``), and then
2973
upgrade (``bzr upgrade``).
2975
``pack-0.92`` offers substantially better scaling and performance than the
2976
previous knits format. Some operations are slower where the code already
2977
had bad scaling characteristics under knits, the pack format makes such
2978
operations more visible as part of being more scalable overall. We will
2979
correct such operations over the coming releases and encourage the filing
2980
of bugs on any operation which you observe to be slower in a packs
2981
repository. One particular case that we do not intend to fix is pulling
2982
data from a pack repository into a knit repository over a high latency
2983
link; downgrading such data requires reinsertion of the file texts, and
2984
this is a classic space/time tradeoff. The current implementation is
2985
conservative on memory usage because we need to support converting data
2986
from any tree without problems.
2987
(Robert Collins, Martin Pool, #164476)
2991
* Disable detection of plink.exe as possible ssh vendor. Plink vendor
2992
still available if user selects it explicitly with BZR_SSH environment
2993
variable. (Alexander Belchenko, workaround for bug #107593)
2995
* The pack format is now accessible as "pack-0.92", or "pack-0.92-subtree"
2996
to enable the subtree functions (for example, for bzr-svn).
2997
See http://doc.bazaar-vcs.org/latest/developer/packrepo.html
3002
* New ``authentication.conf`` file holding the password or other credentials
3003
for remote servers. This can be used for ssh, sftp, smtp and other
3004
supported transports.
3007
* New rich-root and rich-root-pack formats, recording the same data about
3008
tree roots that's recorded for all other directories.
3009
(Aaron Bentley, #164639)
3011
* ``pack-0.92`` repositories can now be reconciled.
3012
(Robert Collins, #154173)
3014
* ``switch`` command added for changing the branch a lightweight checkout
3015
is associated with and updating the tree to reflect the latest content
3016
accordingly. This command was previously part of the BzrTools plug-in.
3017
(Ian Clatworthy, Aaron Bentley, David Allouche)
3019
* ``reconfigure`` command can now convert branches, trees, or checkouts to
3020
lightweight checkouts. (Aaron Bentley)
3024
* Commit updates the state of the working tree via a delta rather than
3025
supplying entirely new basis trees. For commit of a single specified file
3026
this reduces the wall clock time for commit by roughly a 30%.
3027
(Robert Collins, Martin Pool)
3029
* Commit with many automatically found deleted paths no longer performs
3030
linear scanning for the children of those paths during inventory
3031
iteration. This should fix commit performance blowing out when many such
3032
paths occur during commit. (Robert Collins, #156491)
3034
* Fetch with pack repositories will no longer read the entire history graph.
3035
(Robert Collins, #88319)
3037
* Revert takes out an appropriate lock when reverting to a basis tree, and
3038
does not read the basis inventory twice. (Robert Collins)
3040
* Diff does not require an inventory to be generated on dirstate trees.
3041
(Aaron Bentley, #149254)
3043
* New annotate merge (--merge-type=weave) implementation is fast on
3044
versionedfiles withough cached annotations, e.g. pack-0.92.
3049
* ``bzr merge`` now warns when it encounters a criss-cross merge.
3052
* ``bzr send`` now doesn't require the target e-mail address to be
3053
specified on the command line if an interactive e-mail client is used.
3056
* ``bzr tags`` now prints the revision number for each tag, instead of
3057
the revision id, unless --show-ids is passed. In addition, tags can be
3058
sorted chronologically instead of lexicographically with --sort=time.
3059
(Adeodato Simó, #120231)
3061
* Windows standalone version of bzr is able to load system-wide plugins from
3062
"plugins" subdirectory in installation directory. In addition standalone
3063
installer write to the registry (HKLM\SOFTWARE\Bazaar) useful info
3064
about paths and bzr version. (Alexander Belchenko, #129298)
3070
* A progress bar has been added for knitpack -> knitpack fetching.
3071
(Robert Collins, #157789, #159147)
3073
* Branching from a branch via smart server now preserves the repository
3074
format. (Andrew Bennetts, #164626)
3076
* ``commit`` is now able to invoke an external editor in a non-ascii
3077
directory. (Daniel Watkins, #84043)
3079
* Catch connection errors for ftp.
3080
(Vincent Ladeuil, #164567)
3082
* ``check`` no longer reports spurious unreferenced text versions.
3083
(Robert Collins, John A Meinel, #162931, #165071)
3085
* Conflicts are now resolved recursively by ``revert``.
3086
(Aaron Bentley, #102739)
3088
* Detect invalid transport reuse attempts by catching invalid URLs.
3089
(Vincent Ladeuil, #161819)
3091
* Deleting a file without removing it shows a correct diff, not a traceback.
3094
* Do no use timeout in HttpServer anymore.
3095
(Vincent Ladeuil, #158972).
3097
* Don't catch the exceptions related to the http pipeline status before
3098
retrying an http request or some programming errors may be masked.
3099
(Vincent Ladeuil, #160012)
3101
* Fix ``bzr rm`` to not delete modified and ignored files.
3102
(Lukáš Lalinský, #172598)
3104
* Fix exception when revisionspec contains merge revisons but log
3105
formatter doesn't support merge revisions. (Kent Gibson, #148908)
3107
* Fix exception when ScopeReplacer is assigned to before any members have
3108
been retrieved. (Aaron Bentley)
3110
* Fix multiple connections during checkout --lightweight.
3111
(Vincent Ladeuil, #159150)
3113
* Fix possible error in insert_data_stream when copying between
3114
pack repositories over bzr+ssh or bzr+http.
3115
KnitVersionedFile.get_data_stream now makes sure that requested
3116
compression parents are sent before any delta hunks that depend
3118
(Martin Pool, #164637)
3120
* Fix typo in limiting offsets coalescing for http, leading to
3121
whole files being downloaded instead of parts.
3122
(Vincent Ladeuil, #165061)
3124
* FTP server errors don't error in the error handling code.
3125
(Robert Collins, #161240)
3127
* Give a clearer message when a pull fails because the source needs
3129
(Martin Pool, #164443)
3131
* It is clearer when a plugin cannot be loaded because of its name, and a
3132
suggestion for an acceptable name is given. (Daniel Watkins, #103023)
3134
* Leave port as None in transport objects if user doesn't
3135
specify a port in urls.
3136
(vincent Ladeuil, #150860)
3138
* Make sure Repository.fetch(self) is properly a no-op for all
3139
Repository implementations. (John Arbash Meinel, #158333)
3141
* Mark .bzr directories as "hidden" on Windows.
3142
(Alexander Belchenko, #71147)
3144
* ``merge --uncommitted`` can now operate on a single file.
3145
(Aaron Bentley, Lukáš Lalinský, #136890)
3147
* Obsolete packs are now cleaned up by pack and autopack operations.
3148
(Robert Collins, #153789)
3150
* Operations pulling data from a smart server where the underlying
3151
repositories are not both annotated/both unannotated will now work.
3152
(Robert Collins, #165304).
3154
* Reconcile now shows progress bars. (Robert Collins, #159351)
3156
* ``RemoteBranch`` was not initializing ``self._revision_id_to_revno_map``
3157
properly. (John Arbash Meinel, #162486)
3159
* Removing an already-removed file reports the file does not exist. (Daniel
3162
* Rename on Windows is able to change filename case.
3163
(Alexander Belchenko, #77740)
3165
* Return error instead of a traceback for ``bzr log -r0``.
3166
(Kent Gibson, #133751)
3168
* Return error instead of a traceback when bzr is unable to create
3169
symlink on some platforms (e.g. on Windows).
3170
(Alexander Belchenko, workaround for #81689)
3172
* Revert doesn't crash when restoring a single file from a deleted
3173
directory. (Aaron Bentley)
3175
* Stderr output via logging mechanism now goes through encoded wrapper
3176
and no more uses utf-8, but terminal encoding instead. So all unicode
3177
strings now should be readable in non-utf-8 terminal.
3178
(Alexander Belchenko, #54173)
3180
* The error message when ``move --after`` should be used makes how to do so
3181
clearer. (Daniel Watkins, #85237)
3183
* Unicode-safe output from ``bzr info``. The output will be encoded
3184
using the terminal encoding and unrepresentable characters will be
3185
replaced by '?'. (Lukáš Lalinský, #151844)
3187
* Working trees are no longer created when pushing into a local no-trees
3188
repo. (Daniel Watkins, #50582)
3190
* Upgrade util/configobj to version 4.4.0.
3191
(Vincent Ladeuil, #151208).
3193
* Wrap medusa ftp test server as an FTPServer feature.
3194
(Vincent Ladeuil, #157752)
3198
* ``osutils.backup_file`` is deprecated. Actually it's not used in bzrlib
3199
during very long time. (Alexander Belchenko)
3201
* The return value of
3202
``VersionedFile.iter_lines_added_or_present_in_versions`` has been
3203
changed. Previously it was an iterator of lines, now it is an iterator of
3204
(line, version_id) tuples. This change has been made to aid reconcile and
3205
fetch operations. (Robert Collins)
3207
* ``bzrlib.repository.get_versioned_file_checker`` is now private.
3210
* The Repository format registry default has been removed; it was previously
3211
obsoleted by the bzrdir format default, which implies a default repository
3217
* Added ``ContainerSerialiser`` and ``ContainerPushParser`` to
3218
``bzrlib.pack``. These classes provide more convenient APIs for generating
3219
and parsing containers from streams rather than from files. (Andrew
3222
* New module ``lru_cache`` providing a cache for use by tasks that need
3223
semi-random access to large amounts of data. (John A Meinel)
3225
* InventoryEntry.diff is now deprecated. Please use diff.DiffTree instead.
3235
* New uninstaller on Win32. (Alexander Belchenko)
3238
bzr 0.92rc1 2007-10-29
3239
----------------------
3241
NOTES WHEN UPGRADING:
3245
* ``bzr`` now returns exit code 4 if an internal error occurred, and
3246
3 if a normal error occurred. (Martin Pool)
3248
* ``pull``, ``merge`` and ``push`` will no longer silently correct some
3249
repository index errors that occured as a result of the Weave disk format.
3250
Instead the ``reconcile`` command needs to be run to correct those
3251
problems if they exist (and it has been able to fix most such problems
3252
since bzr 0.8). Some new problems have been identified during this release
3253
and you should run ``bzr check`` once on every repository to see if you
3254
need to reconcile. If you cannot ``pull`` or ``merge`` from a remote
3255
repository due to mismatched parent errors - a symptom of index errors -
3256
you should simply take a full copy of that remote repository to a clean
3257
directory outside any local repositories, then run reconcile on it, and
3258
finally pull from it locally. (And naturally email the repositories owner
3259
to ask them to upgrade and run reconcile).
3264
* New ``knitpack-experimental`` repository format. This is interoperable with
3265
the ``dirstate-tags`` format but uses a smarter storage design that greatly
3266
speeds up many operations, both local and remote. This new format can be
3267
used as an option to the ``init``, ``init-repository`` and ``upgrade``
3268
commands. See http://doc.bazaar-vcs.org/0.92/developers/knitpack.html
3269
for further details. (Robert Collins)
3271
* For users of bzr-svn (and those testing the prototype subtree support) that
3272
wish to try packs, a new ``knitpack-subtree-experimental`` format has also
3273
been added. This is interoperable with the ``dirstate-subtrees`` format.
3276
* New ``reconfigure`` command. (Aaron Bentley)
3278
* New ``revert --forget-merges`` command, which removes the record of a pending
3279
merge without affecting the working tree contents. (Martin Pool)
3281
* New ``bzr_remote_path`` configuration variable allows finer control of
3282
remote bzr locations than BZR_REMOTE_PATH environment variable.
3285
* New ``launchpad-login`` command to tell Bazaar your Launchpad
3286
user ID. This can then be used by other functions of the
3287
Launchpad plugin. (James Henstridge)
3291
* Commit in quiet mode is now slightly faster as the information to
3292
output is no longer calculated. (Ian Clatworthy)
3294
* Commit no longer checks for new text keys during insertion when the
3295
revision id was deterministically unique. (Robert Collins)
3297
* Committing a change which is not a merge and does not change the number of
3298
files in the tree is faster by utilising the data about whether files are
3299
changed to determine if the tree is unchanged rather than recalculating
3300
it at the end of the commit process. (Robert Collins)
3302
* Inventory serialisation no longer double-sha's the content.
3305
* Knit text reconstruction now avoids making copies of the lines list for
3306
interim texts when building a single text. The new ``apply_delta`` method
3307
on ``KnitContent`` aids this by allowing modification of the revision id
3308
such objects represent. (Robert Collins)
3310
* Pack indices are now partially parsed for specific key lookup using a
3311
bisection approach. (Robert Collins)
3313
* Partial commits are now approximately 40% faster by walking over the
3314
unselected current tree more efficiently. (Robert Collins)
3316
* XML inventory serialisation takes 20% less time while being stricter about
3317
the contents. (Robert Collins)
3319
* Graph ``heads()`` queries have been fixed to no longer access all history
3320
unnecessarily. (Robert Collins)
3324
* ``bzr+https://`` smart server across https now supported.
3325
(John Ferlito, Martin Pool, #128456)
3327
* Mutt is now a supported mail client; set ``mail_client=mutt`` in your
3328
bazaar.conf and ``send`` will use mutt. (Keir Mierle)
3330
* New option ``-c``/``--change`` for ``merge`` command for cherrypicking
3331
changes from one revision. (Alexander Belchenko, #141368)
3333
* Show encodings, locale and list of plugins in the traceback message.
3334
(Martin Pool, #63894)
3336
* Experimental directory formats can now be marked with
3337
``experimental = True`` during registration. (Ian Clatworthy)
3341
* New *Bazaar in Five Minutes* guide. (Matthew Revell)
3343
* The hooks reference documentation is now converted to html as expected.
3348
* Connection error reporting for the smart server has been fixed to
3349
display a user friendly message instead of a traceback.
3350
(Ian Clatworthy, #115601)
3352
* Make sure to use ``O_BINARY`` when opening files to check their
3353
sha1sum. (Alexander Belchenko, John Arbash Meinel, #153493)
3355
* Fix a problem with Win32 handling of the executable bit.
3356
(John Arbash Meinel, #149113)
3358
* ``bzr+ssh://`` and ``sftp://`` URLs that do not specify ports explicitly
3359
no longer assume that means port 22. This allows people using OpenSSH to
3360
override the default port in their ``~/.ssh/config`` if they wish. This
3361
fixes a bug introduced in bzr 0.91. (Andrew Bennetts, #146715)
3363
* Commands reporting exceptions can now be profiled and still have their
3364
data correctly dumped to a file. For example, a ``bzr commit`` with
3365
no changes still reports the operation as pointless but doing so no
3366
longer throws away the profiling data if this command is run with
3367
``--lsprof-file callgrind.out.ci`` say. (Ian Clatworthy)
3369
* Fallback to ftp when paramiko is not installed and sftp can't be used for
3370
``tests/commands`` so that the test suite is still usable without
3372
(Vincent Ladeuil, #59150)
3374
* Fix commit ordering in corner case. (Aaron Bentley, #94975)
3376
* Fix long standing bug in partial commit when there are renames
3377
left in tree. (Robert Collins, #140419)
3379
* Fix selftest semi-random noise during http related tests.
3380
(Vincent Ladeuil, #140614)
3382
* Fix typo in ftp.py making the reconnection fail on temporary errors.
3383
(Vincent Ladeuil, #154259)
3385
* Fix failing test by comparing real paths to cover the case where the TMPDIR
3386
contains a symbolic link.
3387
(Vincent Ladeuil, #141382).
3389
* Fix log against smart server branches that don't support tags.
3390
(James Westby, #140615)
3392
* Fix pycurl http implementation by defining error codes from
3393
pycurl instead of relying on an old curl definition.
3394
(Vincent Ladeuil, #147530)
3396
* Fix 'unprintable error' message when displaying BzrCheckError and
3397
some other exceptions on Python 2.5.
3398
(Martin Pool, #144633)
3400
* Fix ``Inventory.copy()`` and add test for it. (Jelmer Vernooij)
3402
* Handles default value for ListOption in cmd_commit.
3403
(Vincent Ladeuil, #140432)
3405
* HttpServer and FtpServer need to be closed properly or a listening socket
3407
(Vincent Ladeuil, #140055)
3409
* Monitor the .bzr directory created in the top level test
3410
directory to detect leaking tests.
3411
(Vincent Ladeuil, #147986)
3413
* The basename, not the full path, is now used when checking whether
3414
the profiling dump file begins with ``callgrind.out`` or not. This
3415
fixes a bug reported by Aaron Bentley on IRC. (Ian Clatworthy)
3417
* Trivial fix for invoking command ``reconfigure`` without arguments.
3420
* ``WorkingTree.rename_one`` will now raise an error if normalisation of the
3421
new path causes bzr to be unable to access the file. (Robert Collins)
3423
* Correctly detect a NoSuchFile when using a filezilla server. (Gary van der
3428
* ``bzrlib.index.GraphIndex`` now requires a size parameter to the
3429
constructor, for enabling bisection searches. (Robert Collins)
3431
* ``CommitBuilder.record_entry_contents`` now requires the root entry of a
3432
tree be supplied to it, previously failing to do so would trigger a
3433
deprecation warning. (Robert Collins)
3435
* ``KnitVersionedFile.add*`` will no longer cache added records even when
3436
enable_cache() has been called - the caching feature is now exclusively for
3437
reading existing data. (Robert Collins)
3439
* ``ReadOnlyLockError`` is deprecated; ``LockFailed`` is usually more
3440
appropriate. (Martin Pool)
3442
* Removed ``bzrlib.transport.TransportLogger`` - please see the new
3443
``trace+`` transport instead. (Robert Collins)
3445
* Removed previously deprecated varargs interface to ``TestCase.run_bzr`` and
3446
deprecated methods ``TestCase.capture`` and ``TestCase.run_bzr_captured``.
3449
* Removed previous deprecated ``basis_knit`` parameter to the
3450
``KnitVersionedFile`` constructor. (Robert Collins)
3452
* Special purpose method ``TestCase.run_bzr_decode`` is moved to the test_non_ascii
3453
class that needs it.
3456
* The class ``bzrlib.repofmt.knitrepo.KnitRepository3`` has been folded into
3457
``KnitRepository`` by parameters to the constructor. (Robert Collins)
3459
* The ``VersionedFile`` interface now allows content checks to be bypassed
3460
by supplying check_content=False. This saves nearly 30% of the minimum
3461
cost to store a version of a file. (Robert Collins)
3463
* Tree's with bad state such as files with no length or sha will no longer
3464
be silently accepted by the repository XML serialiser. To serialise
3465
inventories without such data, pass working=True to write_inventory.
3468
* ``VersionedFile.fix_parents`` has been removed as a harmful API.
3469
``VersionedFile.join`` will no longer accept different parents on either
3470
side of a join - it will either ignore them, or error, depending on the
3471
implementation. See notes when upgrading for more information.
3476
* ``bzrlib.transport.Transport.put_file`` now returns the number of bytes
3477
put by the method call, to allow avoiding stat-after-write or
3478
housekeeping in callers. (Robert Collins)
3480
* ``bzrlib.xml_serializer.Serializer`` is now responsible for checking that
3481
mandatory attributes are present on serialisation and deserialisation.
3482
This fixes some holes in API usage and allows better separation between
3483
physical storage and object serialisation. (Robert Collins)
3485
* New class ``bzrlib.errors.InternalBzrError`` which is just a convenient
3486
shorthand for deriving from BzrError and setting internal_error = True.
3489
* New method ``bzrlib.mutabletree.update_to_one_parent_via_delta`` for
3490
moving the state of a parent tree to a new version via a delta rather than
3491
a complete replacement tree. (Robert Collins)
3493
* New method ``bzrlib.osutils.minimum_path_selection`` useful for removing
3494
duplication from user input, when a user mentions both a path and an item
3495
contained within that path. (Robert Collins)
3497
* New method ``bzrlib.repository.Repository.is_write_locked`` useful for
3498
determining if a repository is write locked. (Robert Collins)
3500
* New method on ``bzrlib.tree.Tree`` ``path_content_summary`` provides a
3501
tuple containing the key information about a path for commit processing
3502
to complete. (Robert Collins)
3504
* New method on xml serialisers, write_inventory_to_lines, which matches the
3505
API used by knits for adding content. (Robert Collins)
3507
* New module ``bzrlib.bisect_multi`` with generic multiple-bisection-at-once
3508
logic, currently only available for byte-based lookup
3509
(``bisect_multi_bytes``). (Robert Collins)
3511
* New helper ``bzrlib.tuned_gzip.bytes_to_gzip`` which takes a byte string
3512
and returns a gzipped version of the same. This is used to avoid a bunch
3513
of api friction during adding of knit hunks. (Robert Collins)
3515
* New parameter on ``bzrlib.transport.Transport.readv``
3516
``adjust_for_latency`` which changes readv from returning strictly the
3517
requested data to inserted return larger ranges and in forward read order
3518
to reduce the effect of network latency. (Robert Collins)
3520
* New parameter yield_parents on ``Inventory.iter_entries_by_dir`` which
3521
causes the parents of a selected id to be returned recursively, so all the
3522
paths from the root down to each element of selected_file_ids are
3523
returned. (Robert Collins)
3525
* Knit joining has been enhanced to support plain to annotated conversion
3526
and annotated to plain conversion. (Ian Clatworthy)
3528
* The CommitBuilder method ``record_entry_contents`` now returns summary
3529
information about the effect of the commit on the repository. This tuple
3530
contains an inventory delta item if the entry changed from the basis, and a
3531
boolean indicating whether a new file graph node was recorded.
3534
* The python path used in the Makefile can now be overridden.
3535
(Andrew Bennetts, Ian Clatworthy)
3539
* New transport implementation ``trace+`` which is useful for testing,
3540
logging activity taken to its _activity attribute. (Robert Collins)
3542
* When running bzr commands within the test suite, internal exceptions are
3543
not caught and reported in the usual way, but rather allowed to propagate
3544
up and be visible to the test suite. A new API ``run_bzr_catch_user_errors``
3545
makes this behavior available to other users.
3548
* New method ``TestCase.call_catch_warnings`` for testing methods that
3549
raises a Python warning. (Martin Pool)
3557
* Print a warning instead of aborting the ``python setup.py install``
3558
process if building of a C extension is not possible.
3559
(Lukáš Lalinský, Alexander Belchenko)
3561
* Fix commit ordering in corner case (Aaron Bentley, #94975)
3563
* Fix ''bzr info bzr://host/'' and other operations on ''bzr://' URLs with
3564
an implicit port. We were incorrectly raising PathNotChild due to
3565
inconsistent treatment of the ''_port'' attribute on the Transport object.
3566
(Andrew Bennetts, #133965)
3568
* Make RemoteRepository.sprout cope gracefully with servers that don't
3569
support the ``Repository.tarball`` request.
3573
bzr 0.91rc2 2007-09-11
3574
----------------------
3576
* Replaced incorrect tarball for previous release; a debug statement was left
3577
in bzrlib/remote.py.
3580
bzr 0.91rc1 2007-09-11
3581
----------------------
3585
* The default branch and repository format has changed to
3586
``dirstate-tags``, so tag commands are active by default.
3587
This format is compatible with Bazaar 0.15 and later.
3588
This incidentally fixes bug #126141.
3591
* ``--quiet`` or ``-q`` is no longer a global option. If present, it
3592
must now appear after the command name. Scripts doing things like
3593
``bzr -q missing`` need to be rewritten as ``bzr missing -q``.
3598
* New option ``--author`` in ``bzr commit`` to specify the author of the
3599
change, if it's different from the committer. ``bzr log`` and
3600
``bzr annotate`` display the author instead of the committer.
3603
* In addition to global options and command specific options, a set of
3604
standard options are now supported. Standard options are legal for
3605
all commands. The initial set of standard options are:
3607
* ``--help`` or ``-h`` - display help message
3608
* ``--verbose`` or ``-v`` - display additional information
3609
* ``--quiet`` or ``-q`` - only output warnings and errors.
3611
Unlike global options, standard options can be used in aliases and
3612
may have command-specific help. (Ian Clatworthy)
3614
* Verbosity level processing has now been unified. If ``--verbose``
3615
or ``-v`` is specified on the command line multiple times, the
3616
verbosity level is made positive the first time then increased.
3617
If ``--quiet`` or ``-q`` is specified on the command line
3618
multiple times, the verbosity level is made negative the first
3619
time then decreased. To get the default verbosity level of zero,
3620
either specify none of the above , ``--no-verbose`` or ``--no-quiet``.
3621
Note that most commands currently ignore the magnitude of the
3622
verbosity level but do respect *quiet vs normal vs verbose* when
3623
generating output. (Ian Clatworthy)
3625
* ``Branch.hooks`` now supports ``pre_commit`` hook. The hook's signature
3626
is documented in BranchHooks constructor. (Nam T. Nguyen, #102747)
3628
* New ``Repository.stream_knit_data_for_revisions`` request added to the
3629
network protocol for greatly reduced roundtrips when retrieving a set of
3630
revisions. (Andrew Bennetts)
3634
* ``bzr plugins`` now lists the version number for each plugin in square
3635
brackets after the path. (Robert Collins, #125421)
3637
* Pushing, pulling and branching branches with subtree references was not
3638
copying the subtree weave, preventing the file graph from being accessed
3639
and causing errors in commits in clones. (Robert Collins)
3641
* Suppress warning "integer argument expected, got float" from Paramiko,
3642
which sometimes caused false test failures. (Martin Pool)
3644
* Fix bug in bundle 4 that could cause attempts to write data to wrong
3645
versionedfile. (Aaron Bentley)
3647
* Diffs generated using "diff -p" no longer break the patch parser.
3650
* get_transport treats an empty possible_transports list the same as a non-
3651
empty one. (Aaron Bentley)
3653
* patch verification for merge directives is reactivated, and works with
3654
CRLF and CR files. (Aaron Bentley)
3656
* Accept ..\ as a path in revision specifiers. This fixes for example
3657
"-r branch:..\other-branch" on Windows. (Lukáš Lalinský)
3659
* ``BZR_PLUGIN_PATH`` may now contain trailing slashes.
3660
(Blake Winton, #129299)
3662
* man page no longer lists hidden options (#131667, Aaron Bentley)
3664
* ``uncommit --help`` now explains the -r option adequately. (Daniel
3667
* Error messages are now better formatted with parameters (such as
3668
filenames) quoted when necessary. This avoids confusion when directory
3669
names ending in a '.' at the end of messages were confused with a
3670
full stop that may or not have been there. (Daniel Watkins, #129791)
3672
* Fix ``status FILE -r X..Y``. (Lukáš Lalinský)
3674
* If a particular command is an alias, ``help`` will show the alias
3675
instead of claiming there is no help for said alias. (Daniel Watkins,
3678
* TreeTransform-based operations, like pull, merge, revert, and branch,
3679
now roll back if they encounter an error. (Aaron Bentley, #67699)
3681
* ``bzr commit`` now exits cleanly if a character unsupported by the
3682
current encoding is used in the commit message. (Daniel Watkins,
3685
* bzr send uses default values for ranges when only half of an elipsis
3686
is specified ("-r..5" or "-r5.."). (#61685, Aaron Bentley)
3688
* Avoid trouble when Windows ssh calls itself 'plink' but no plink
3689
binary is present. (Martin Albisetti, #107155)
3691
* ``bzr remove`` should remove clean subtrees. Now it will remove (without
3692
needing ``--force``) subtrees that contain no files with text changes or
3693
modified files. With ``--force`` it removes the subtree regardless of
3694
text changes or unknown files. Directories with renames in or out (but
3695
not changed otherwise) will now be removed without needing ``--force``.
3696
Unknown ignored files will be deleted without needing ``--force``.
3697
(Marius Kruger, #111665)
3699
* When two plugins conflict, the source of both the losing and now the
3700
winning definition is shown. (Konstantin Mikhaylov, #5454)
3702
* When committing to a branch, the location being committed to is
3703
displayed. (Daniel Watkins, #52479)
3705
* ``bzr --version`` takes care about encoding of stdout, especially
3706
when output is redirected. (Alexander Belchenko, #131100)
3708
* Prompt for an ftp password if none is provided.
3709
(Vincent Ladeuil, #137044)
3711
* Reuse bound branch associated transport to avoid multiple
3713
(Vincent Ladeuil, #128076, #131396)
3715
* Overwrite conflicting tags by ``push`` and ``pull`` if the
3716
``--overwrite`` option is specified. (Lukáš Lalinský, #93947)
3718
* In checkouts, tags are copied into the master branch when created,
3719
changed or deleted, and are copied into the checkout when it is
3720
updated. (Martin Pool, #93856, #93860)
3722
* Print a warning instead of aborting the ``python setup.py install``
3723
process if building of a C extension is not possible.
3724
(Lukáš Lalinský, Alexander Belchenko)
3728
* Add the option "--show-diff" to the commit command in order to display
3729
the diff during the commit log creation. (Goffredo Baroncelli)
3731
* ``pull`` and ``merge`` are much faster at installing bundle format 4.
3734
* ``pull -v`` no longer includes deltas, making it much faster.
3737
* ``send`` now sends the directive as an attachment by default.
3738
(Aaron Bentley, Lukáš Lalinský, Alexander Belchenko)
3740
* Documentation updates (Martin Albisetti)
3742
* Help on debug flags is now included in ``help global-options``.
3743
(Daniel Watkins, #124853)
3745
* Parameters passed on the command line are checked to ensure they are
3746
supported by the encoding in use. (Daniel Watkins)
3748
* The compression used within the bzr repository has changed from zlib
3749
level 9 to the zlib default level. This improves commit performance with
3750
only a small increase in space used (and in some cases a reduction in
3751
space). (Robert Collins)
3753
* Initial commit no longer SHAs files twice and now reuses the path
3754
rather than looking it up again, making it faster.
3757
* New option ``-c``/``--change`` for ``diff`` and ``status`` to show
3758
changes in one revision. (Lukáš Lalinský)
3760
* If versioned files match a given ignore pattern, a warning is now
3761
given. (Daniel Watkins, #48623)
3763
* ``bzr status`` now has -S as a short name for --short and -V as a
3764
short name for --versioned. These have been added to assist users
3765
migrating from Subversion: ``bzr status -SV`` is now like
3766
``svn status -q``. (Daniel Watkins, #115990)
3768
* Added C implementation of ``PatienceSequenceMatcher``, which is about
3769
10x faster than the Python version. This speeds up commands that
3770
need file diffing, such as ``bzr commit`` or ``bzr diff``.
3773
* HACKING has been extended with a large section on core developer tasks.
3776
* Add ``branches`` and ``standalone-trees`` as online help topics and
3777
include them as Concepts within the User Reference.
3778
(Paul Moore, Ian Clatworthy)
3780
* ``check`` can detect versionedfile parent references that are
3781
inconsistent with revision and inventory info, and ``reconcile`` can fix
3782
them. These faulty references were generated by 0.8-era releases,
3783
so repositories which were manipulated by old bzrs should be
3784
checked, and possibly reconciled ASAP. (Aaron Bentley, Andrew Bennetts)
3788
* ``Branch.append_revision`` is removed altogether; please use
3789
``Branch.set_last_revision_info`` instead. (Martin Pool)
3791
* CommitBuilder now advertises itself as requiring the root entry to be
3792
supplied. This only affects foreign repository implementations which reuse
3793
CommitBuilder directly and have changed record_entry_contents to require
3794
that the root not be supplied. This should be precisely zero plugins
3795
affected. (Robert Collins)
3797
* The ``add_lines`` methods on ``VersionedFile`` implementations has changed
3798
its return value to include the sha1 and length of the inserted text. This
3799
allows the avoidance of double-sha1 calculations during commit.
3802
* ``Transport.should_cache`` has been removed. It was not called in the
3803
previous release. (Martin Pool)
3807
* Tests may now raise TestNotApplicable to indicate they shouldn't be
3808
run in a particular scenario. (Martin Pool)
3810
* New function multiply_tests_from_modules to give a simpler interface
3811
to test parameterization. (Martin Pool, Robert Collins)
3813
* ``Transport.should_cache`` has been removed. It was not called in the
3814
previous release. (Martin Pool)
3816
* NULL_REVISION is returned to indicate the null revision, not None.
3819
* Use UTF-8 encoded StringIO for log tests to avoid failures on
3820
non-ASCII committer names. (Lukáš Lalinský)
3824
* ``bzrlib.plugin.all_plugins`` has been deprecated in favour of
3825
``bzrlib.plugin.plugins()`` which returns PlugIn objects that provide
3826
useful functionality for determining the path of a plugin, its tests, and
3827
its version information. (Robert Collins)
3829
* Add the option user_encoding to the function 'show_diff_trees()'
3830
in order to move the user encoding at the UI level. (Goffredo Baroncelli)
3832
* Add the function make_commit_message_template_encoded() and the function
3833
edit_commit_message_encoded() which handle encoded strings.
3834
This is done in order to mix the commit messages (which is a unicode
3835
string), and the diff which is a raw string. (Goffredo Baroncelli)
3837
* CommitBuilder now defaults to using add_lines_with_ghosts, reducing
3838
overhead on non-weave repositories which don't require all parents to be
3839
present. (Robert Collins)
3841
* Deprecated method ``find_previous_heads`` on
3842
``bzrlib.inventory.InventoryEntry``. This has been superseded by the use
3843
of ``parent_candidates`` and a separate heads check via the repository
3844
API. (Robert Collins)
3846
* New trace function ``mutter_callsite`` will print out a subset of the
3847
stack to the log, which can be useful for gathering debug details.
3850
* ``bzrlib.pack.ContainerWriter`` now tracks how many records have been
3851
added via a public attribute records_written. (Robert Collins)
3853
* New method ``bzrlib.transport.Transport.get_recommended_page_size``.
3854
This provides a hint to users of transports as to the reasonable
3855
minimum data to read. In principle this can take latency and
3856
bandwidth into account on a per-connection basis, but for now it
3857
just has hard coded values based on the url. (e.g. http:// has a large
3858
page size, file:// has a small one.) (Robert Collins)
3860
* New method on ``bzrlib.transport.Transport`` ``open_write_stream`` allows
3861
incremental addition of data to a file without requiring that all the
3862
data be buffered in memory. (Robert Collins)
3864
* New methods on ``bzrlib.knit.KnitVersionedFile``:
3865
``get_data_stream(versions)``, ``insert_data_stream(stream)`` and
3866
``get_format_signature()``. These provide some infrastructure for
3867
efficiently streaming the knit data for a set of versions over the smart
3870
* Knits with no annotation cache still produce correct annotations.
3873
* Three new methods have been added to ``bzrlib.trace``:
3874
``set_verbosity_level``, ``get_verbosity_level`` and ``is_verbose``.
3875
``set_verbosity_level`` expects a numeric value: negative for quiet,
3876
zero for normal, positive for verbose. The size of the number can be
3877
used to determine just how quiet or verbose the application should be.
3878
The existing ``be_quiet`` and ``is_quiet`` routines have been
3879
integrated into this new scheme. (Ian Clatworthy)
3881
* Options can now be delcared with a ``custom_callback`` parameter. If
3882
set, this routine is called after the option is processed. This feature
3883
is now used by the standard options ``verbose`` and ``quiet`` so that
3884
setting one implicitly resets the other. (Ian Clatworthy)
3886
* Rather than declaring a new option from scratch in order to provide
3887
custom help, a centrally registered option can be decorated using the
3888
new ``bzrlib.Option.custom_help`` routine. In particular, this routine
3889
is useful when declaring better help for the ``verbose`` and ``quiet``
3890
standard options as the base definition of these is now more complex
3891
than before thanks to their use of a custom callback. (Ian Clatworthy)
3893
* Tree._iter_changes(specific_file=[]) now iterates through no files,
3894
instead of iterating through all files. None is used to iterate through
3895
all files. (Aaron Bentley)
3897
* WorkingTree.revert() now accepts None to revert all files. The use of
3898
[] to revert all files is deprecated. (Aaron Bentley)
3906
* Documentation is now organized into multiple directories with a level
3907
added for different languages or locales. Added the Mini Tutorial
3908
and Quick Start Summary (en) documents from the Wiki, improving the
3909
content and readability of the former. Formatted NEWS as Release Notes
3910
complete with a Table of Conents, one heading per release. Moved the
3911
Developer Guide into the main document catalog and provided a link
3912
from the developer document catalog back to the main one.
3913
(Ian Clatworthy, Sabin Iacob, Alexander Belchenko)
3918
* The static convenience method ``BzrDir.create_repository``
3919
is deprecated. Callers should instead create a ``BzrDir`` instance
3920
and call ``create_repository`` on that. (Martin Pool)
3923
bzr 0.90rc1 2007-08-14
3924
----------------------
3928
* ``bzr init`` should connect to the remote location one time only. We
3929
have been connecting several times because we forget to pass around the
3930
Transport object. This modifies ``BzrDir.create_branch_convenience``,
3931
so that we can give it the Transport we already have.
3932
(John Arbash Meinel, Vincent Ladeuil, #111702)
3934
* Get rid of sftp connection cache (get rid of the FTP one too).
3935
(Vincent Ladeuil, #43731)
3937
* bzr branch {local|remote} remote don't try to create a working tree
3939
(Vincent Ladeuil, #112173)
3941
* All identified multiple connections for a single bzr command have been
3942
fixed. See bzrlib/tests/commands directory.
3945
* ``bzr rm`` now does not insist on ``--force`` to delete files that
3946
have been renamed but not otherwise modified. (Marius Kruger,
3949
* ``bzr selftest --bench`` no longer emits deprecation warnings
3952
* ``bzr status`` now honours FILE parameters for conflict lists
3953
(Aaron Bentley, #127606)
3955
* ``bzr checkout`` now honours -r when reconstituting a working tree.
3956
It also honours -r 0. (Aaron Bentley, #127708)
3958
* ``bzr add *`` no more fails on Windows if working tree contains
3959
non-ascii file names. (Kuno Meyer, #127361)
3961
* allow ``easy_install bzr`` runs without fatal errors.
3962
(Alexander Belchenko, #125521)
3964
* Graph._filter_candidate_lca does not raise KeyError if a candidate
3965
is eliminated just before it would normally be examined. (Aaron Bentley)
3967
* SMTP connection failures produce a nice message, not a traceback.
3972
* Don't show "dots" progress indicators when run non-interactively, such
3973
as from cron. (Martin Pool)
3975
* ``info`` now formats locations more nicely and lists "submit" and
3976
"public" branches (Aaron Bentley)
3978
* New ``pack`` command that will trigger database compression within
3979
the repository (Robert Collins)
3981
* Implement ``_KnitIndex._load_data`` in a pyrex extension. The pyrex
3982
version is approximately 2-3x faster at parsing a ``.kndx`` file.
3983
Which yields a measurable improvement for commands which have to
3984
read from the repository, such as a 1s => 0.75s improvement in
3985
``bzr diff`` when there are changes to be shown. (John Arbash Meinel)
3987
* Merge is now faster. Depending on the scenario, it can be more than 2x
3988
faster. (Aaron Bentley)
3990
* Give a clearer warning, and allow ``python setup.py install`` to
3991
succeed even if pyrex is not available.
3992
(John Arbash Meinel)
3994
* ``DirState._read_dirblocks`` now has an optional Pyrex
3995
implementation. This improves the speed of any command that has to
3996
read the entire DirState. (``diff``, ``status``, etc, improve by
3998
``bisect_dirblocks`` has also been improved, which helps all
3999
``_get_entry`` type calls (whenever we are searching for a
4000
particular entry in the in-memory DirState).
4001
(John Arbash Meinel)
4003
* ``bzr pull`` and ``bzr push`` no longer do a complete walk of the
4004
branch revision history for ui display unless -v is supplied.
4007
* ``bzr log -rA..B`` output shifted to the left margin if the log only
4008
contains merge revisions. (Kent Gibson)
4010
* The ``plugins`` command is now public with improved help.
4013
* New bundle and merge directive formats are faster to generate, and
4015
* Annotate merge now works when there are local changes. (Aaron Bentley)
4017
* Commit now only shows the progress in terms of directories instead of
4018
entries. (Ian Clatworthy)
4020
* Fix ``KnitRepository.get_revision_graph`` to not request the graph 2
4021
times. This makes ``get_revision_graph`` 2x faster. (John Arbash
4024
* Fix ``VersionedFile.get_graph()`` to avoid using
4025
``set.difference_update(other)``, which has bad scaling when
4026
``other`` is large. This improves ``VF.get_graph([version_id])`` for
4027
a 12.5k graph from 2.9s down to 200ms. (John Arbash Meinel)
4029
* The ``--lsprof-file`` option now generates output for KCacheGrind if
4030
the file starts with ``callgrind.out``. This matches the default file
4031
filtering done by KCacheGrind's Open Dialog. (Ian Clatworthy)
4033
* Fix ``bzr update`` to avoid an unnecessary
4034
``branch.get_master_branch`` call, which avoids 1 extra connection
4035
to the remote server. (Partial fix for #128076, John Arbash Meinel)
4037
* Log errors from the smart server in the trace file, to make debugging
4038
test failures (and live failures!) easier. (Andrew Bennetts)
4040
* The HTML version of the man page has been superceded by a more
4041
comprehensive manual called the Bazaar User Reference. This manual
4042
is completed generated from the online help topics. As part of this
4043
change, limited reStructuredText is now explicitly supported in help
4044
topics and command help with 'unnatural' markup being removed prior
4045
to display by the online help or inclusion in the man page.
4048
* HTML documentation now use files extension ``*.html``
4049
(Alexander Belchenko)
4051
* The cache of ignore definitions is now cleared in WorkingTree.unlock()
4052
so that changes to .bzrignore aren't missed. (#129694, Daniel Watkins)
4054
* ``bzr selftest --strict`` fails if there are any missing features or
4055
expected test failures. (Daniel Watkins, #111914)
4057
* Link to registration survey added to README. (Ian Clatworthy)
4059
* Windows standalone installer show link to registration survey
4060
when installation finished. (Alexander Belchenko)
4064
* Deprecated dictionary ``bzrlib.option.SHORT_OPTIONS`` removed.
4065
Options are now required to provide a help string and it must
4066
comply with the style guide by being one or more sentences with an
4067
initial capital and final period. (Martin Pool)
4069
* KnitIndex.get_parents now returns tuples. (Robert Collins)
4071
* Ancient unused ``Repository.text_store`` attribute has been removed.
4074
* The ``bzrlib.pack`` interface has changed to use tuples of bytestrings
4075
rather than just bytestrings, making it easier to represent multiple
4076
element names. As this interface was not used by any internal facilities
4077
since it was introduced in 0.18 no API compatibility is being preserved.
4078
The serialised form of these packs is identical with 0.18 when a single
4079
element tuple is in use. (Robert Collins)
4083
* merge now uses ``iter_changes`` to calculate changes, which makes room for
4084
future performance increases. It is also more consistent with other
4085
operations that perform comparisons, and reduces reliance on
4086
Tree.inventory. (Aaron Bentley)
4088
* Refactoring of transport classes connected to a remote server.
4089
ConnectedTransport is a new class that serves as a basis for all
4090
transports needing to connect to a remote server. transport.split_url
4091
have been deprecated, use the static method on the object instead. URL
4092
tests have been refactored too.
4095
* Better connection sharing for ConnectedTransport objects.
4096
transport.get_transport() now accepts a 'possible_transports' parameter.
4097
If a newly requested transport can share a connection with one of the
4101
* Most functions now accept ``bzrlib.revision.NULL_REVISION`` to indicate
4102
the null revision, and consider using ``None`` for this purpose
4103
deprecated. (Aaron Bentley)
4105
* New ``index`` module with abstract index functionality. This will be
4106
used during the planned changes in the repository layer. Currently the
4107
index layer provides a graph aware immutable index, a builder for the
4108
same index type to allow creating them, and finally a composer for
4109
such indices to allow the use of many indices in a single query. The
4110
index performance is not optimised, however the API is stable to allow
4111
development on top of the index. (Robert Collins)
4113
* ``bzrlib.dirstate.cmp_by_dirs`` can be used to compare two paths by
4114
their directory sections. This is equivalent to comparing
4115
``path.split('/')``, only without having to split the paths.
4116
This has a Pyrex implementation available.
4117
(John Arbash Meinel)
4119
* New transport decorator 'unlistable+' which disables the list_dir
4120
functionality for testing.
4122
* Deprecated ``change_entry`` in transform.py. (Ian Clatworthy)
4124
* RevisionTree.get_weave is now deprecated. Tree.plan_merge is now used
4125
for performing annotate-merge. (Aaron Bentley)
4127
* New EmailMessage class to create email messages. (Adeodato Simó)
4129
* Unused functions on the private interface KnitIndex have been removed.
4132
* New ``knit.KnitGraphIndex`` which provides a ``KnitIndex`` layered on top
4133
of a ``index.GraphIndex``. (Robert Collins)
4135
* New ``knit.KnitVersionedFile.iter_parents`` method that allows querying
4136
the parents of many knit nodes at once, reducing round trips to the
4137
underlying index. (Robert Collins)
4139
* Graph now has an is_ancestor method, various bits use it.
4142
* The ``-Dhpss`` flag now includes timing information. As well as
4143
logging when a new connection is opened. (John Arbash Meinel)
4145
* ``bzrlib.pack.ContainerWriter`` now returns an offset, length tuple to
4146
callers when inserting data, allowing generation of readv style access
4147
during pack creation, without needing a separate pass across the output
4148
pack to gather such details. (Robert Collins)
4150
* ``bzrlib.pack.make_readv_reader`` allows readv based access to pack
4151
files that are stored on a transport. (Robert Collins)
4153
* New ``Repository.has_same_location`` method that reports if two
4154
repository objects refer to the same repository (although with some risk
4155
of false negatives). (Andrew Bennetts)
4157
* InterTree.compare now passes require_versioned on correctly.
4160
* New methods on Repository - ``start_write_group``,
4161
``commit_write_group``, ``abort_write_group`` and ``is_in_write_group`` -
4162
which provide a clean hook point for transactional Repositories - ones
4163
where all the data for a fetch or commit needs to be made atomically
4164
available in one step. This allows the write lock to remain while making
4165
a series of data insertions. (e.g. data conversion). (Robert Collins)
4167
* In ``bzrlib.knit`` the internal interface has been altered to use
4168
3-tuples (index, pos, length) rather than two-tuples (pos, length) to
4169
describe where data in a knit is, allowing knits to be split into
4170
many files. (Robert Collins)
4172
* ``bzrlib.knit._KnitData`` split into cache management and physical access
4173
with two access classes - ``_PackAccess`` and ``_KnitAccess`` defined.
4174
The former provides access into a .pack file, and the latter provides the
4175
current production repository form of .knit files. (Robert Collins)
4179
* Remove selftest ``--clean-output``, ``--numbered-dirs`` and
4180
``--keep-output`` options, which are obsolete now that tests
4181
are done within directories in $TMPDIR. (Martin Pool)
4183
* The SSH_AUTH_SOCK environment variable is now reset to avoid
4184
interaction with any running ssh agents. (Jelmer Vernooij, #125955)
4186
* run_bzr_subprocess handles parameters the same way as run_bzr:
4187
either a string or a list of strings should be passed as the first
4188
parameter. Varargs-style parameters are deprecated. (Aaron Bentley)
4192
--------------------
4196
* Fix 'bzr add' crash under Win32 (Kuno Meyer)
4199
bzr 0.18rc1 2007-07-10
4200
-----------------------
4204
* Do not suppress pipe errors, etc. in non-display commands
4205
(Alexander Belchenko, #87178)
4207
* Display a useful error message when the user requests to annotate
4208
a file that is not present in the specified revision.
4209
(James Westby, #122656)
4211
* Commands that use status flags now have a reference to 'help
4212
status-flags'. (Daniel Watkins, #113436)
4214
* Work around python-2.4.1 inhability to correctly parse the
4215
authentication header.
4216
(Vincent Ladeuil, #121889)
4218
* Use exact encoding for merge directives. (Adeodato Simó, #120591)
4220
* Fix tempfile permissions error in smart server tar bundling under
4221
Windows. (Martin _, #119330)
4223
* Fix detection of directory entries in the inventory. (James Westby)
4225
* Fix handling of http code 400: Bad Request When issuing too many ranges.
4226
(Vincent Ladeuil, #115209)
4228
* Issue a CONNECT request when connecting to an https server
4229
via a proxy to enable SSL tunneling.
4230
(Vincent Ladeuil, #120678)
4232
* Fix ``bzr log -r`` to support selecting merge revisions, both
4233
individually and as part of revision ranges.
4234
(Kent Gibson, #4663)
4236
* Don't leave cruft behind when failing to acquire a lockdir.
4237
(Martin Pool, #109169)
4239
* Don't use the '-f' strace option during tests.
4240
(Vincent Ladeuil, #102019).
4242
* Warn when setting ``push_location`` to a value that will be masked by
4243
locations.conf. (Aaron Bentley, #122286)
4245
* Fix commit ordering in corner case (Aaron Bentley, #94975)
4247
* Make annotate behave in a non-ASCII world (Adeodato Simó).
4251
* The --lsprof-file option now dumps a text rendering of the profiling
4252
information if the filename ends in ".txt". It will also convert the
4253
profiling information to a format suitable for KCacheGrind if the
4254
output filename ends in ".callgrind". Fixes to the lsprofcalltree
4255
conversion process by Jean Paul Calderone and Itamar were also merged.
4256
See http://ddaa.net/blog/python/lsprof-calltree. (Ian Clatworthy)
4258
* ``info`` now defaults to non-verbose mode, displaying only paths and
4259
abbreviated format info. ``info -v`` displays all the information
4260
formerly displayed by ``info``. (Aaron Bentley, Adeodato Simó)
4262
* ``bzr missing`` now has better option names ``--this`` and ``--other``.
4265
* The internal ``weave-list`` command has become ``versionedfile-list``,
4266
and now lists knits as well as weaves. (Aaron Bentley)
4268
* Automatic merge base selection uses a faster algorithm that chooses
4269
better bases in criss-cross merge situations (Aaron Bentley)
4271
* Progress reporting in ``commit`` has been improved. The various logical
4272
stages are now reported on as follows, namely:
4274
* Collecting changes [Entry x/y] - Stage n/m
4275
* Saving data locally - Stage n/m
4276
* Uploading data to master branch - Stage n/m
4277
* Updating the working tree - Stage n/m
4278
* Running post commit hooks - Stage n/m
4280
If there is no master branch, the 3rd stage is omitted and the total
4281
number of stages is adjusted accordingly.
4283
Each hook that is run after commit is listed with a name (as hooks
4284
can be slow it is useful feedback).
4285
(Ian Clatworthy, Robert Collins)
4287
* Various operations that are now faster due to avoiding unnecessary
4288
topological sorts. (Aaron Bentley)
4290
* Make merge directives robust against broken bundles. (Aaron Bentley)
4292
* The lsprof filename note is emitted via trace.note(), not standard
4293
output. (Aaron Bentley)
4295
* ``bzrlib`` now exports explicit API compatibility information to assist
4296
library users and plugins. See the ``bzrlib.api`` module for details.
4299
* Remove unnecessary lock probes when acquiring a lockdir.
4302
* ``bzr --version`` now shows the location of the bzr log file, which
4303
is especially useful on Windows. (Martin Pool)
4305
* -D now supports hooks to get debug tracing of hooks (though its currently
4306
minimal in nature). (Robert Collins)
4308
* Long log format reports deltas on merge revisions.
4309
(John Arbash Meinel, Kent Gibson)
4311
* Make initial push over ftp more resilient. (John Arbash Meinel)
4313
* Print a summary of changes for update just like pull does.
4314
(Daniel Watkins, #113990)
4316
* Add a -Dhpss option to trace smart protocol requests and responses.
4321
* Testing cleanups -
4322
``bzrlib.repository.RepositoryTestProviderAdapter`` has been moved
4323
to ``bzrlib.tests.repository_implementations``;
4324
``bzrlib.repository.InterRepositoryTestProviderAdapter`` has been moved
4325
to ``bzrlib.tests.interrepository_implementations``;
4326
``bzrlib.transport.TransportTestProviderAdapter`` has moved to
4327
``bzrlib.tests.test_transport_implementations``.
4328
``bzrlib.branch.BranchTestProviderAdapter`` has moved to
4329
``bzrlib.tests.branch_implementations``.
4330
``bzrlib.bzrdir.BzrDirTestProviderAdapter`` has moved to
4331
``bzrlib.tests.bzrdir_implementations``.
4332
``bzrlib.versionedfile.InterVersionedFileTestProviderAdapter`` has moved
4333
to ``bzrlib.tests.interversionedfile_implementations``.
4334
``bzrlib.store.revision.RevisionStoreTestProviderAdapter`` has moved to
4335
``bzrlib.tests.revisionstore_implementations``.
4336
``bzrlib.workingtree.WorkingTreeTestProviderAdapter`` has moved to
4337
``bzrlib.tests.workingtree_implementations``.
4338
These changes are an API break in the testing infrastructure only.
4341
* Relocate TestCaseWithRepository to be more central. (Robert Collins)
4343
* ``bzrlib.add.smart_add_tree`` will no longer perform glob expansion on
4344
win32. Callers of the function should do this and use the new
4345
``MutableTree.smart_add`` method instead. (Robert Collins)
4347
* ``bzrlib.add.glob_expand_for_win32`` is now
4348
``bzrlib.win32utils.glob_expand``. (Robert Collins)
4350
* ``bzrlib.add.FastPath`` is now private and moved to
4351
``bzrlib.mutabletree._FastPath``. (Robert Collins, Martin Pool)
4353
* ``LockDir.wait`` removed. (Martin Pool)
4355
* The ``SmartServer`` hooks API has changed for the ``server_started`` and
4356
``server_stopped`` hooks. The first parameter is now an iterable of
4357
backing URLs rather than a single URL. This is to reflect that many
4358
URLs may map to the external URL of the server. E.g. the server interally
4359
may have a chrooted URL but also the local file:// URL will be at the
4360
same location. (Robert Collins)
4364
* New SMTPConnection class to unify email handling. (Adeodato Simó)
4366
* Fix documentation of BzrError. (Adeodato Simó)
4368
* Make BzrBadParameter an internal error. (Adeodato Simó)
4370
* Remove use of 'assert False' to raise an exception unconditionally.
4373
* Give a cleaner error when failing to decode knit index entry.
4376
* TreeConfig would mistakenly search the top level when asked for options
4377
from a section. It now respects the section argument and only
4378
searches the specified section. (James Westby)
4380
* Improve ``make api-docs`` output. (John Arbash Meinel)
4382
* Use os.lstat rather than os.stat for osutils.make_readonly and
4383
osutils.make_writeable. This makes the difftools plugin more
4384
robust when dangling symlinks are found. (Elliot Murphy)
4386
* New ``-Dlock`` option to log (to ~/.bzr.log) information on when
4387
lockdirs are taken or released. (Martin Pool)
4389
* ``bzrlib`` Hooks are now nameable using ``Hooks.name_hook``. This
4390
allows a nicer UI when hooks are running as the current hook can
4391
be displayed. (Robert Collins)
4393
* ``Transport.get`` has had its interface made more clear for ease of use.
4394
Retrieval of a directory must now fail with either 'PathError' at open
4395
time, or raise 'ReadError' on a read. (Robert Collins)
4397
* New method ``_maybe_expand_globs`` on the ``Command`` class for
4398
dealing with unexpanded glob lists - e.g. on the win32 platform. This
4399
was moved from ``bzrlib.add._prepare_file_list``. (Robert Collins)
4401
* ``bzrlib.add.smart_add`` and ``bzrlib.add.smart_add_tree`` are now
4402
deprecated in favour of ``MutableTree.smart_add``. (Robert Collins,
4405
* New method ``external_url`` on Transport for obtaining the url to
4406
hand to external processes. (Robert Collins)
4408
* Teach windows installers to build pyrex/C extensions.
4409
(Alexander Belchenko)
4413
* Removed the ``--keep-output`` option from selftest and clean up test
4414
directories as they're used. This reduces the IO load from
4415
running the test suite and cuts the time by about half.
4416
(Andrew Bennetts, Martin Pool)
4418
* Add scenarios as a public attribute on the TestAdapter classes to allow
4419
modification of the generated scenarios before adaption and easier
4420
testing. (Robert Collins)
4422
* New testing support class ``TestScenarioApplier`` which multiplies
4423
out a single teste by a list of supplied scenarios. (RobertCollins)
4425
* Setting ``repository_to_test_repository`` on a repository_implementations
4426
test will cause it to be called during repository creation, allowing the
4427
testing of repository classes which are not based around the Format
4428
concept. For example a repository adapter can be tested in this manner,
4429
by altering the repository scenarios to include a scenario that sets this
4430
attribute during the test parameterisation in
4431
``bzrlib.tests.repository.repository_implementations``. (Robert Collins)
4433
* Clean up many of the APIs for blackbox testing of Bazaar. The standard
4434
interface is now self.run_bzr. The command to run can be passed as
4435
either a list of parameters, a string containing the command line, or
4436
(deprecated) varargs parameters. (Martin Pool)
4438
* The base TestCase now isolates tests from -D parameters by clearing
4439
``debug.debug_flags`` and restores it afterwards. (Robert Collins)
4441
* Add a relpath parameter to get_transport methods in test framework to
4442
avoid useless cloning.
4443
(Vincent Ladeuil, #110448)
4447
--------------------
4451
* Fix crash of commit due to wrong lookup of filesystem encoding.
4452
(Colin Watson, #120647)
4454
* Revert logging just to stderr in commit as broke unicode filenames.
4455

bzr 0.17rc1 2007-06-12
4459
-----------------------
4461
NOTES WHEN UPGRADING:
4463
* The kind() and is_executable() APIs on the WorkingTree interface no
4464
longer implicitly (read) locks and unlocks the tree. This *might*
4465
impact some plug-ins and tools using this part of the API. If you find
4466
an issue that may be caused by this change, please let us know,
4467
particularly the plug-in/tool maintainer. If encountered, the API
4468
fix is to surround kind() and is_executable() calls with lock_read()
4469
and unlock() like so::
4471
work_tree.lock_read()
4473
kind = work_tree.kind(...)
4478
* Rework of LogFormatter API to provide beginning/end of log hooks and to
4479
encapsulate the details of the revision to be logged in a LogRevision
4481
In long log formats, merge revision ids are only shown when --show-ids
4482
is specified, and are labelled "revision-id:", as per mainline
4483
revisions, instead of "merged:". (Kent Gibson)
4485
* New ``BranchBuilder`` API which allows the construction of particular
4486
histories quickly. Useful for testing and potentially other applications
4487
too. (Robert Collins)
4491
* There are two new help topics, working-trees and repositories that
4492
attempt to explain these concepts. (James Westby, John Arbash Meinel,
4495
* Added ``bzr log --limit`` to report a limited number of revisions.
4496
(Kent Gibson, #3659)
4498
* Revert does not try to preserve file contents that were originally
4499
produced by reverting to a historical revision. (Aaron Bentley)
4501
* ``bzr log --short`` now includes ``[merge]`` for revisions which
4502
have more than one parent. This is a small improvement to help
4503
understanding what changes have occurred
4504
(John Arbash Meinel, #83887)
4506
* TreeTransform avoids many renames when contructing large trees,
4507
improving speed. 3.25x speedups have been observed for construction of
4508
kernel-sized-trees, and checkouts are 1.28x faster. (Aaron Bentley)
4510
* Commit on large trees is now faster. In my environment, a commit of
4511
a small change to the Mozilla tree (55k files) has dropped from
4512
66 seconds to 32 seconds. For a small tree of 600 files, commit of a
4513
small change is 33% faster. (Ian Clatworthy)
4515
* New --create-prefix option to bzr init, like for push. (Daniel Watkins,
4520
* ``bzr push`` should only connect to the remote location one time.
4521
We have been connecting 3 times because we forget to pass around
4522
the Transport object. This adds ``BzrDir.clone_on_transport()``, so
4523
that we can pass in the Transport that we already have.
4524
(John Arbash Meinel, #75721)
4526
* ``DirState.set_state_from_inventory()`` needs to properly order
4527
based on split paths, not just string paths.
4528
(John Arbash Meinel, #115947)
4530
* Let TestUIFactoy encode the password prompt with its own stdout.
4531
(Vincent Ladeuil, #110204)
4533
* pycurl should take use the range header that takes the range hint
4535
(Vincent Ladeuil, #112719)
4537
* WorkingTree4.get_file_sha1 no longer raises an exception when invoked
4538
on a missing file. (Aaron Bentley, #118186)
4540
* WorkingTree.remove works correctly with tree references, and when pwd is
4541
not the tree root. (Aaron Bentley)
4543
* Merge no longer fails when a file is renamed in one tree and deleted
4544
in the other. (Aaron Bentley, #110279)
4546
* ``revision-info`` now accepts dotted revnos, doesn't require a tree,
4547
and defaults to the last revision (Matthew Fuller, #90048)
4549
* Tests no longer fail when BZR_REMOTE_PATH is set in the environment.
4550
(Daniel Watkins, #111958)
4552
* ``bzr branch -r revid:foo`` can be used to branch any revision in
4553
your repository. (Previously Branch6 only supported revisions in your
4554
mainline). (John Arbash Meinel, #115343)
4557
--------------------
4561
* Handle when you have 2 directories with similar names, but one has a
4562
hyphen. (``'abc'`` versus ``'abc-2'``). The WT4._iter_changes
4563
iterator was using direct comparison and ``'abc/a'`` sorts after
4564
``'abc-2'``, but ``('abc', 'a')`` sorts before ``('abc-2',)``.
4565
(John Arbash Meinel, #111227)
4567
* Handle when someone renames a file on disk without telling bzr.
4568
Previously we would report the first file as missing, but not show
4569
the new unknown file. (John Arbash Meinel, #111288)
4571
* Avoid error when running hooks after pulling into or pushing from
4572
a branch bound to a smartserver branch. (Martin Pool, #111968)
4576
* Move developer documentation to doc/developers/. This reduces clutter in
4577
the root of the source tree and allows HACKING to be split into multiple
4578
files. (Robert Collins, Alexander Belchenko)
4580
* Clean up the ``WorkingTree4._iter_changes()`` internal loops as well as
4581
``DirState.update_entry()``. This optimizes the core logic for ``bzr
4582
diff`` and ``bzr status`` significantly improving the speed of
4583
both. (John Arbash Meinel)
4585
bzr 0.16rc2 2007-04-30
4586
-----------------------
4590
* Handle the case when you delete a file, and then rename another file
4591
on top of it. Also handle the case of ``bzr rm --keep foo``. ``bzr
4592
status`` should show the removed file and an unknown file in its
4593
place. (John Arbash Meinel, #109993)
4595
* Bundles properly read and write revision properties that have an
4596
empty value. And when the value is not ASCII.
4597
(John Arbash Meinel, #109613)
4599
* Fix the bzr commit message to be in text mode.
4600
(Alexander Belchenko, #110901)
4602
* Also handle when you rename a file and create a file where it used
4603
to be. (John Arbash Meinel, #110256)
4605
* ``WorkingTree4._iter_changes`` should not descend into unversioned
4606
directories. (John Arbash Meinel, #110399)
4608
bzr 0.16rc1 2007-04-26
4609
-----------------------
4611
NOTES WHEN UPGRADING:
4613
* ``bzr remove`` and ``bzr rm`` will now remove the working file, if
4614
it could be recovered again.
4615
This has been done for consistency with svn and the unix rm command.
4616
The old ``remove`` behaviour has been retained in the new option
4617
``bzr remove --keep``, which will just stop versioning the file,
4619
``bzr remove --force`` have been added which will always delete the
4621
``bzr remove`` is also more verbose.
4622
(Marius Kruger, #82602)
4626
* Merge directives can now be supplied as input to `merge` and `pull`,
4627
like bundles can. (Aaron Bentley)
4629
* Sending the SIGQUIT signal to bzr, which can be done on Unix by
4630
pressing Control-Backslash, drops bzr into a debugger. Type ``'c'``
4631
to continue. This can be disabled by setting the environment variable
4632
``BZR_SIGQUIT_PDB=0``. (Martin Pool)
4634
* selftest now supports --list-only to list tests instead of running
4635
them. (Ian Clatworthy)
4637
* selftest now supports --exclude PATTERN (or -x PATTERN) to exclude
4638
tests with names that match that regular expression.
4639
(Ian Clatworthy, #102679)
4641
* selftest now supports --randomize SEED to run tests in a random order.
4642
SEED is typically the value 'now' meaning 'use the current time'.
4643
(Ian Clatworthy, #102686)
4645
* New option ``--fixes`` to commit, which stores bug fixing annotations as
4646
revision properties. Built-in support for Launchpad, Debian, Trac and
4647
Bugzilla bug trackers. (Jonathan Lange, James Henstridge, Robert Collins)
4649
* New API, ``bzrlib.bugtracker.tracker_registry``, for adding support for
4650
other bug trackers to ``fixes``. (Jonathan Lange, James Henstridge,
4653
* ``selftest`` has new short options ``-f`` and ``-1``. (Martin
4656
* ``bzrlib.tsort.MergeSorter`` optimizations. Change the inner loop
4657
into using local variables instead of going through ``self._var``.
4658
Improves the time to ``merge_sort`` a 10k revision graph by
4659
approximately 40% (~700->400ms). (John Arbash Meinel)
4661
* ``make docs`` now creates a man page at ``man1/bzr.1`` fixing bug 107388.
4664
* ``bzr help`` now provides cross references to other help topics using
4665
the _see_also facility on command classes. Likewise the bzr_man
4666
documentation, and the bzr.1 man page also include this information.
4669
* Tags are now included in logs, that use the long log formatter.
4670
(Erik Bågfors, Alexander Belchenko)
4672
* ``bzr help`` provides a clearer message when a help topic cannot be
4673
found. (Robert Collins, #107656)
4675
* ``bzr help`` now accepts optional prefixes for command help. The help
4676
for all commands can now be found at ``bzr help commands/COMMANDNAME``
4677
as well as ``bzr help COMMANDNAME`` (which only works for commands
4678
where the name is not the same as a more general help topic).
4681
* ``bzr help PLUGINNAME`` will now return the module docstring from the
4682
plugin PLUGINNAME. (Robert Collins, #50408)
4684
* New help topic ``urlspec`` which lists the availables transports.
4685
(Goffredo Baroncelli)
4687
* doc/server.txt updated to document the default bzr:// port
4688
and also update the blurb about the hpss' current status.
4689
(Robert Collins, #107125).
4691
* ``bzr serve`` now listens on interface 0.0.0.0 by default, making it
4692
serve out to the local LAN (and anyone in the world that can reach the
4693
machine running ``bzr serve``. (Robert Collins, #98918)
4695
* A new smart server protocol version has been added. It prefixes requests
4696
and responses with an explicit version identifier so that future protocol
4697
revisions can be dealt with gracefully. (Andrew Bennetts, Robert Collins)
4699
* The bzr protocol version 2 indicates success or failure in every response
4700
without depending on particular commands encoding that consistently,
4701
allowing future client refactorings to be much more robust about error
4702
handling. (Robert Collins, Martin Pool, Andrew Bennetts)
4704
* The smart protocol over HTTP client has been changed to always post to the
4705
same ``.bzr/smart`` URL under the original location when it can. This allows
4706
HTTP servers to only have to pass URLs ending in .bzr/smart to the smart
4707
server handler, and not arbitrary ``.bzr/*/smart`` URLs. (Andrew Bennetts)
4709
* digest authentication is now supported for proxies and HTTP by the urllib
4710
based http implementation. Tested against Apache 2.0.55 and Squid
4711
2.6.5. Basic and digest authentication are handled coherently for HTTP
4712
and proxy: if the user is provided in the url (bzr command line for HTTP,
4713
proxy environment variables for proxies), the password is prompted for
4714
(only once). If the password is provided, it is taken into account. Once
4715
the first authentication is successful, all further authentication
4716
roundtrips are avoided by preventively setting the right authentication
4722
* bzrlib API compatability with 0.8 has been dropped, cleaning up some
4723
code paths. (Robert Collins)
4725
* Change the format of chroot urls so that they can be safely manipulated
4726
by generic url utilities without causing the resulting urls to have
4727
escaped the chroot. A side effect of this is that creating a chroot
4728
requires an explicit action using a ChrootServer.
4729
(Robert Collins, Andrew Bennetts)
4731
* Deprecate ``Branch.get_root_id()`` because branches don't have root ids,
4732
rather than fixing bug #96847. (Aaron Bentley)
4734
* ``WorkingTree.apply_inventory_delta`` provides a better alternative to
4735
``WorkingTree._write_inventory``. (Aaron Bentley)
4737
* Convenience method ``TestCase.expectFailure`` ensures that known failures
4738
do not silently pass. (Aaron Bentley)
4740
* ``Transport.local_abspath`` now raises ``NotLocalUrl`` rather than
4741
``TransportNotPossible``. (Martin Pool, Ian Clatworthy)
4743
* New SmartServer hooks facility. There are two initial hooks documented
4744
in ``bzrlib.transport.smart.SmartServerHooks``. The two initial hooks allow
4745
plugins to execute code upon server startup and shutdown.
4748
* SmartServer in standalone mode will now close its listening socket
4749
when it stops, rather than waiting for garbage collection. This primarily
4750
fixes test suite hangs when a test tries to connect to a shutdown server.
4751
It may also help improve behaviour when dealing with a server running
4752
on a specific port (rather than dynamically assigned ports).
4755
* Move most SmartServer code into a new package, bzrlib/smart.
4756
bzrlib/transport/remote.py contains just the Transport classes that used
4757
to be in bzrlib/transport/smart.py. (Andrew Bennetts)
4759
* urllib http implementation avoid roundtrips associated with
4760
401 (and 407) errors once the authentication succeeds.
4763
* urlib http now supports querying the user for a proxy password if
4764
needed. Realm is shown in the prompt for both HTTP and proxy
4765
authentication when the user is required to type a password.
4768
* Renamed SmartTransport (and subclasses like SmartTCPTransport) to
4769
RemoteTransport (and subclasses to RemoteTCPTransport, etc). This is more
4770
consistent with its new home in ``bzrlib/transport/remote.py``, and because
4771
it's not really a "smart" transport, just one that does file operations
4772
via remote procedure calls. (Andrew Bennetts)
4774
* The ``lock_write`` method of ``LockableFiles``, ``Repository`` and
4775
``Branch`` now accept a ``token`` keyword argument, so that separate
4776
instances of those objects can share a lock if it has the right token.
4777
(Andrew Bennetts, Robert Collins)
4779
* New method ``get_branch_reference`` on ``BzrDir`` allows the detection of
4780
branch references - which the smart server component needs.
4782
* The Repository API ``make_working_trees`` is now permitted to return
4783
False when ``set_make_working_trees`` is not implemented - previously
4784
an unimplemented ``set_make_working_trees`` implied the result True
4785
from ``make_working_trees``. This has been changed to accomodate the
4786
smart server, where it does not make sense (at this point) to ever
4787
make working trees by default. (Robert Collins)
4789
* Command objects can now declare related help topics by having _see_also
4790
set to a list of related topic. (Robert Collins)
4792
* ``bzrlib.help`` now delegates to the Command class for Command specific
4793
help. (Robert Collins)
4795
* New class ``TransportListRegistry``, derived from the Registry class, which
4796
simplifies tracking the available Transports. (Goffredo Baroncelli)
4798
* New function ``Branch.get_revision_id_to_revno_map`` which will
4799
return a dictionary mapping revision ids to dotted revnos. Since
4800
dotted revnos are defined in the context of the branch tip, it makes
4801
sense to generate them from a ``Branch`` object.
4802
(John Arbash Meinel)
4804
* Fix the 'Unprintable error' message display to use the repr of the
4805
exception that prevented printing the error because the str value
4806
for it is often not useful in debugging (e.g. KeyError('foo') has a
4807
str() of 'foo' but a repr of 'KeyError('foo')' which is much more
4808
useful. (Robert Collins)
4810
* ``urlutils.normalize_url`` now unescapes unreserved characters, such as "~".
4815
* Don't fail bundle selftest if email has 'two' embedded.
4816
(Ian Clatworthy, #98510)
4818
* Remove ``--verbose`` from ``bzr bundle``. It didn't work anyway.
4819
(Robert Widhopf-Fenk, #98591)
4821
* Remove ``--basis`` from the checkout/branch commands - it didn't work
4822
properly and is no longer beneficial.
4823
(Robert Collins, #53675, #43486)
4825
* Don't produce encoding error when adding duplicate files.
4828
* Fix ``bzr log <file>`` so it only logs the revisions that changed
4829
the file, and does it faster.
4830
(Kent Gibson, John Arbash Meinel, #51980, #69477)
4832
* Fix ``InterDirstateTre._iter_changes`` to handle when we come across
4833
an empty versioned directory, which now has files in it.
4834
(John Arbash Meinel, #104257)
4836
* Teach ``common_ancestor`` to shortcut when the tip of one branch is
4837
inside the ancestry of the other. Saves a lot of graph processing
4838
(with an ancestry of 16k revisions, ``bzr merge ../already-merged``
4839
changes from 2m10s to 13s). (John Arbash Meinel, #103757)
4841
* Fix ``show_diff_trees`` to handle the case when a file is modified,
4842
and the containing directory is renamed. (The file path is different
4843
in this versus base, but it isn't marked as a rename).
4844
(John Arbash Meinel, #103870)
4846
* FTP now works even when the FTP server does not support atomic rename.
4847
(Aaron Bentley, #89436)
4849
* Correct handling in bundles and merge directives of timezones with
4850
that are not an integer number of hours offset from UTC. Always
4851
represent the epoch time in UTC to avoid problems with formatting
4852
earlier times on win32. (Martin Pool, Alexander Belchenko, John
4855
* Typo in the help for ``register-branch`` fixed. (Robert Collins, #96770)
4857
* "dirstate" and "dirstate-tags" formats now produce branches compatible
4858
with old versions of bzr. (Aaron Bentley, #107168))
4860
* Handle moving a directory when children have been added, removed,
4861
and renamed. (John Arbash Meinel, #105479)
4863
* Don't preventively use basic authentication for proxy before receiving a
4864
407 error. Otherwise people willing to use other authentication schemes
4865
may expose their password in the clear (or nearly). This add one
4866
roundtrip in case basic authentication should be used, but plug the
4870
* Handle http and proxy digest authentication.
4871
(Vincent Ladeuil, #94034).
4875
* Added ``bzrlib.strace.strace`` which will strace a single callable and
4876
return a StraceResult object which contains just the syscalls involved
4877
in running it. (Robert Collins)
4879
* New test method ``reduceLockdirTimeout`` to drop the default (ui-centric)
4880
default time down to one suitable for tests. (Andrew Bennetts)
4882
* Add new ``vfs_transport_factory`` attribute on tests which provides the
4883
common vfs backing for both the readonly and readwrite transports.
4884
This allows the RemoteObject tests to back onto local disk or memory,
4885
and use the existing ``transport_server`` attribute all tests know about
4886
to be the smart server transport. This in turn allows tests to
4887
differentiate between 'transport to access the branch', and
4888
'transport which is a VFS' - which matters in Remote* tests.
4889
(Robert Collins, Andrew Bennetts)
4891
* The ``make_branch_and_tree`` method for tests will now create a
4892
lightweight checkout for the tree if the ``vfs_transport_factory`` is not
4893
a LocalURLServer. (Robert Collins, Andrew Bennetts)
4895
* Branch implementation tests have been audited to ensure that all urls
4896
passed to Branch APIs use proper urls, except when local-disk paths
4897
are intended. This is so that tests correctly access the test transport
4898
which is often not equivalent to local disk in Remote* tests. As part
4899
of this many tests were adjusted to remove dependencies on local disk
4901
(Robert Collins, Andrew Bennetts)
4903
* Mark bzrlib.tests and bzrlib.tests.TestUtil as providing assertFOO helper
4904
functions by adding a ``__unittest`` global attribute. (Robert Collins,
4905
Andrew Bennetts, Martin Pool, Jonathan Lange)
4907
* Refactored proxy and authentication handling to simplify the
4908
implementation of new auth schemes for both http and proxy.
4916
* Handle incompatible repositories as a user issue when fetching.
4919
* Don't give a recommendation to upgrade when branching or
4920
checking out a branch that contains an old-format working tree.
4923
bzr 0.15rc3 2007-03-26
4924
-----------------------
4928
* A warning is now displayed when opening working trees in older
4929
formats, to encourage people to upgrade to WorkingTreeFormat4.
4934
* HTTP redirections are now taken into account when a branch (or a
4935
bundle) is accessed for the first time. A message is issued at each
4936
redirection to inform the user. In the past, http redirections were
4937
silently followed for each request which significantly degraded the
4938
performances. The http redirections are not followed anymore by
4939
default, instead a RedirectRequested exception is raised. For bzrlib
4940
users needing to follow http redirections anyway,
4941
``bzrlib.transport.do_catching_redirections`` provide an easy transition
4946
* Added ``ReadLock.temporary_write_lock()`` to allow upgrading an OS read
4947
lock to an OS write lock. Linux can do this without unlocking, Win32
4948
needs to unlock in between. (John Arbash Meinel)
4950
* New parameter ``recommend_upgrade`` to ``BzrDir.open_workingtree``
4951
to silence (when false) warnings about opening old formats.
4954
* Fix minor performance regression with bzr-0.15 on pre-dirstate
4955
trees. (We were reading the working inventory too many times).
4956
(John Arbash Meinel)
4958
* Remove ``Branch.get_transaction()`` in favour of a simple cache of
4959
``revision_history``. Branch subclasses should override
4960
``_gen_revision_history`` rather than ``revision_history`` to make use of
4961
this cache, and call ``_clear_revision_history_cache`` and
4962
``_cache_revision_history`` at appropriate times. (Andrew Bennetts)
4966
* Take ``smtp_server`` from user config into account.
4969
* Restore Unicode filename handling for versioned and unversioned files.
4970
(John Arbash Meinel, #92608)
4972
* Don't fail during ``bzr commit`` if a file is marked removed, and
4973
the containing directory is auto-removed. (John Arbash Meinel, #93681)
4975
* ``bzr status FILENAME`` failed on Windows because of an uncommon
4976
errno. (``ERROR_DIRECTORY == 267 != ENOTDIR``).
4977
(Wouter van Heyst, John Arbash Meinel, #90819)
4979
* ``bzr checkout source`` should create a local branch in the same
4980
format as source. (John Arbash Meinel, #93854)
4982
* ``bzr commit`` with a kind change was failing to update the
4983
last-changed-revision for directories. The
4984
InventoryDirectory._unchanged only looked at the ``parent_id`` and name,
4985
ignoring the fact that the kind could have changed, too.
4986
(John Arbash Meinel, #90111)
4988
* ``bzr mv dir/subdir other`` was incorrectly updating files inside
4989
the directory. So that there was a chance it would break commit,
4990
etc. (John Arbash Meinel, #94037)
4992
* Correctly handles mutiple permanent http redirections.
4995
bzr 0.15rc2 2007-03-14
4996
-----------------------
4998
NOTES WHEN UPGRADING:
5000
* Release 0.15rc2 of bzr changes the ``bzr init-repo`` command to
5001
default to ``--trees`` instead of ``--no-trees``.
5002
Existing shared repositories are not affected.
5006
* New ``merge-directive`` command to generate machine- and human-readable
5007
merge requests. (Aaron Bentley)
5009
* New ``submit:`` revision specifier makes it easy to diff against the
5010
common ancestor with the submit location (Aaron Bentley)
5012
* Added support for Putty's SSH implementation. (Dmitry Vasiliev)
5014
* Added ``bzr status --versioned`` to report only versioned files,
5015
not unknowns. (Kent Gibson)
5017
* Merge now autodetects the correct line-ending style for its conflict
5018
markers. (Aaron Bentley)
5022
* Refactored SSH vendor registration into SSHVendorManager class.
5027
* New ``--numbered-dirs`` option to ``bzr selftest`` to use
5028
numbered dirs for TestCaseInTempDir. This is default behavior
5029
on Windows. Anyone can force named dirs on Windows
5030
with ``--no-numbered-dirs``. (Alexander Belchenko)
5032
* Fix ``RevisionSpec_revid`` to handle the Unicode strings passed in
5033
from the command line. (Marien Zwart, #90501)
5035
* Fix ``TreeTransform._iter_changes`` when both the source and
5036
destination are missing. (Aaron Bentley, #88842)
5038
* Fix commit of merges with symlinks in dirstate trees.
5041
* Switch the ``bzr init-repo`` default from --no-trees to --trees.
5042
(Wouter van Heyst, #53483)
5045
bzr 0.15rc1 2007-03-07
5046
-----------------------
5050
* The default disk format has changed. Please run 'bzr upgrade' in your
5051
working trees to upgrade. This new default is compatible for network
5052
operations, but not for local operations. That is, if you have two
5053
versions of bzr installed locally, after upgrading you can only use the
5054
bzr 0.15 version. This new default does not enable tags or nested-trees
5055
as they are incompatible with bzr versions before 0.15 over the network.
5057
* For users of bzrlib: Two major changes have been made to the working tree
5058
api in bzrlib. The first is that many methods and attributes, including
5059
the inventory attribute, are no longer valid for use until one of
5060
``lock_read``/``lock_write``/``lock_tree_write`` has been called,
5061
and become invalid again after unlock is called. This has been done
5062
to improve performance and correctness as part of the dirstate
5064
(Robert Collins, John A Meinel, Martin Pool, and others).
5066
* For users of bzrlib: The attribute 'tree.inventory' should be considered
5067
readonly. Previously it was possible to directly alter this attribute, or
5068
its contents, and have the tree notice this. This has been made
5069
unsupported - it may work in some tree formats, but in the newer dirstate
5070
format such actions will have no effect and will be ignored, or even
5071
cause assertions. All operations possible can still be carried out by a
5072
combination of the tree API, and the bzrlib.transform API. (Robert
5073
Collins, John A Meinel, Martin Pool, and others).
5077
* Support for OS Windows 98. Also .bzr.log on any windows system
5078
saved in My Documents folder. (Alexander Belchenko)
5080
* ``bzr mv`` enhanced to support already moved files.
5081
In the past the mv command would have failed if the source file doesn't
5082
exist. In this situation ``bzr mv`` would now detect that the file has
5083
already moved and update the repository accordingly, if the target file
5085
A new option ``--after`` has been added so that if two files already
5086
exist, you could notify Bazaar that you have moved a (versioned) file
5087
and replaced it with another. Thus in this case ``bzr move --after``
5088
will only update the Bazaar identifier.
5089
(Steffen Eichenberg, Marius Kruger)
5091
* ``ls`` now works on treeless branches and remote branches.
5094
* ``bzr help global-options`` describes the global options.
5097
* ``bzr pull --overwrite`` will now correctly overwrite checkouts.
5100
* Files are now allowed to change kind (e.g. from file to symlink).
5101
Supported by ``commit``, ``revert`` and ``status``
5104
* ``inventory`` and ``unknowns`` hidden in favour of ``ls``
5107
* ``bzr help checkouts`` descibes what checkouts are and some possible
5108
uses of them. (James Westby, Aaron Bentley)
5110
* A new ``-d`` option to push, pull and merge overrides the default
5111
directory. (Martin Pool)
5113
* Branch format 6: smaller, and potentially faster than format 5. Supports
5114
``append_history_only`` mode, where the log view and revnos do not change,
5115
except by being added to. Stores policy settings in
5116
".bzr/branch/branch.conf".
5118
* ``append_only`` branches: Format 6 branches may be configured so that log
5119
view and revnos are always consistent. Either create the branch using
5120
"bzr init --append-revisions-only" or edit the config file as descriped
5121
in docs/configuration.txt.
5123
* rebind: Format 6 branches retain the last-used bind location, so if you
5124
"bzr unbind", you can "bzr bind" to bind to the previously-selected
5127
* Builtin tags support, created and deleted by the ``tag`` command and
5128
stored in the branch. Tags can be accessed with the revisionspec
5129
``-rtag:``, and listed with ``bzr tags``. Tags are not versioned
5130
at present. Tags require a network incompatible upgrade. To perform this
5131
upgrade, run ``bzr upgrade --dirstate-tags`` in your branch and
5132
repositories. (Martin Pool)
5134
* The ``bzr://`` transport now has a well-known port number, 4155,
5135
which it will use by default. (Andrew Bennetts, Martin Pool)
5137
* Bazaar now looks for user-installed plugins before looking for site-wide
5138
plugins. (Jonathan Lange)
5140
* ``bzr resolve`` now detects and marks resolved text conflicts.
5145
* Internally revision ids and file ids are now passed around as utf-8
5146
bytestrings, rather than treating them as Unicode strings. This has
5147
performance benefits for Knits, since we no longer need to decode the
5148
revision id for each line of content, nor for each entry in the index.
5149
This will also help with the future dirstate format.
5150
(John Arbash Meinel)
5152
* Reserved ids (any revision-id ending in a colon) are rejected by
5153
versionedfiles, repositories, branches, and working trees
5156
* Minor performance improvement by not creating a ProgressBar for
5157
every KnitIndex we create. (about 90ms for a bzr.dev tree)
5158
(John Arbash Meinel)
5160
* New easier to use Branch hooks facility. There are five initial hooks,
5161
all documented in bzrlib.branch.BranchHooks.__init__ - ``'set_rh'``,
5162
``'post_push'``, ``'post_pull'``, ``'post_commit'``,
5163
``'post_uncommit'``. These hooks fire after the matching operation
5164
on a branch has taken place, and were originally added for the
5165
branchrss plugin. (Robert Collins)
5167
* New method ``Branch.push()`` which should be used when pushing from a
5168
branch as it makes performance and policy decisions to match the UI
5169
level command ``push``. (Robert Collins).
5171
* Add a new method ``Tree.revision_tree`` which allows access to cached
5172
trees for arbitrary revisions. This allows the in development dirstate
5173
tree format to provide access to the callers to cached copies of
5174
inventory data which are cheaper to access than inventories from the
5176
(Robert Collins, Martin Pool)
5178
* New ``Branch.last_revision_info`` method, this is being done to allow
5179
optimization of requests for both the number of revisions and the last
5180
revision of a branch with smartservers and potentially future branch
5181
formats. (Wouter van Heyst, Robert Collins)
5183
* Allow ``'import bzrlib.plugins.NAME'`` to work when the plugin NAME has not
5184
yet been loaded by ``load_plugins()``. This allows plugins to depend on each
5185
other for code reuse without requiring users to perform file-renaming
5186
gymnastics. (Robert Collins)
5188
* New Repository method ``'gather_stats'`` for statistic data collection.
5189
This is expected to grow to cover a number of related uses mainly
5190
related to bzr info. (Robert Collins)
5192
* Log formatters are now managed with a registry.
5193
``log.register_formatter`` continues to work, but callers accessing
5194
the FORMATTERS dictionary directly will not.
5196
* Allow a start message to be passed to the ``edit_commit_message``
5197
function. This will be placed in the message offered to the user
5198
for editing above the separator. It allows a template commit message
5199
to be used more easily. (James Westby)
5201
* ``GPGStrategy.sign()`` will now raise ``BzrBadParameterUnicode`` if
5202
you pass a Unicode string rather than an 8-bit string. Callers need
5203
to be updated to encode first. (John Arbash Meinel)
5205
* Branch.push, pull, merge now return Result objects with information
5206
about what happened, rather than a scattering of various methods. These
5207
are also passed to the post hooks. (Martin Pool)
5209
* File formats and architecture is in place for managing a forest of trees
5210
in bzr, and splitting up existing trees into smaller subtrees, and
5211
finally joining trees to make a larger tree. This is the first iteration
5212
of this support, and the user-facing aspects still require substantial
5213
work. If you wish to experiment with it, use ``bzr upgrade
5214
--dirstate-with-subtree`` in your working trees and repositories.
5215
You can use the hidden commands ``split`` and ``join`` and to create
5216
and manipulate nested trees, but please consider using the nested-trees
5217
branch, which contains substantial UI improvements, instead.
5218
http://code.aaronbentley.com/bzr/bzrrepo/nested-trees/
5219
(Aaron Bentley, Martin Pool, Robert Collins).
5223
* ``bzr annotate`` now uses dotted revnos from the viewpoint of the
5224
branch, rather than the last changed revision of the file.
5225
(John Arbash Meinel, #82158)
5227
* Lock operations no longer hang if they encounter a permission problem.
5230
* ``bzr push`` can resume a push that was canceled before it finished.
5231
Also, it can push even if the target directory exists if you supply
5232
the ``--use-existing-dir`` flag.
5233
(John Arbash Meinel, #30576, #45504)
5235
* Fix http proxy authentication when user and an optional
5236
password appears in the ``*_proxy`` vars. (Vincent Ladeuil,
5239
* ``bzr log branch/file`` works for local treeless branches
5240
(Aaron Bentley, #84247)
5242
* Fix problem with UNC paths on Windows 98. (Alexander Belchenko, #84728)
5244
* Searching location of CA bundle for PyCurl in env variable
5245
(``CURL_CA_BUNDLE``), and on win32 along the PATH.
5246
(Alexander Belchenko, #82086)
5248
* ``bzr init`` works with unicode argument LOCATION.
5249
(Alexander Belchenko, #85599)
5251
* Raise ``DependencyNotPresent`` if pycurl do not support https.
5252
(Vincent Ladeuil, #85305)
5254
* Invalid proxy env variables should not cause a traceback.
5255
(Vincent Ladeuil, #87765)
5257
* Ignore patterns normalised to use '/' path separator.
5258
(Kent Gibson, #86451)
5260
* bzr rocks. It sure does! Fix case. (Vincent Ladeuil, #78026)
5262
* Fix bzrtools shelve command for removed lines beginning with "--"
5263
(Johan Dahlberg, #75577)
5267
* New ``--first`` option to ``bzr selftest`` to run specified tests
5268
before the rest of the suite. (Martin Pool)
5272
--------------------
5276
* ``bzr help global-options`` describes the global options. (Aaron Bentley)
5280
* Skip documentation generation tests if the tools to do so are not
5281
available. Fixes running selftest for installled copies of bzr.
5282
(John Arbash Meinel, #80330)
5284
* Fix the code that discovers whether bzr is being run from it's
5285
working tree to handle the case when it isn't but the directory
5286
it is in is below a repository. (James Westby, #77306)
5289
bzr 0.14rc1 2007-01-16
5290
-----------------------
5294
* New connection: ``bzr+http://`` which supports tunnelling the smart
5295
protocol over an HTTP connection. If writing is enabled on the bzr
5296
server, then you can write over the http connection.
5297
(Andrew Bennetts, John Arbash Meinel)
5299
* Aliases now support quotation marks, so they can contain whitespace
5302
* PyCurlTransport now use a single curl object. By specifying explicitly
5303
the 'Range' header, we avoid the need to use two different curl objects
5304
(and two connections to the same server). (Vincent Ladeuil)
5306
* ``bzr commit`` does not prompt for a message until it is very likely to
5307
succeed. (Aaron Bentley)
5309
* ``bzr conflicts`` now takes --text to list pathnames of text conflicts
5312
* Fix ``iter_lines_added_or_present_in_versions`` to use a set instead
5313
of a list while checking if a revision id was requested. Takes 10s
5314
off of the ``fileids_affected_by_revision_ids`` time, which is 10s
5315
of the ``bzr branch`` time. Also improve ``fileids_...`` time by
5316
filtering lines with a regex rather than multiple ``str.find()``
5317
calls. (saves another 300ms) (John Arbash Meinel)
5319
* Policy can be set for each configuration key. This allows keys to be
5320
inherited properly across configuration entries. For example, this
5321
should enable you to do::
5323
[/home/user/project]
5324
push_location = sftp://host/srv/project/
5325
push_location:policy = appendpath
5327
And then a branch like ``/home/user/project/mybranch`` should get an
5328
automatic push location of ``sftp://host/srv/project/mybranch``.
5331
* Added ``bzr status --short`` to make status report svn style flags
5332
for each file. For example::
5334
$ bzr status --short
5340
* 'bzr selftest --clean-output' allows easily clean temporary tests
5341
directories without running tests. (Alexander Belchenko)
5343
* ``bzr help hidden-commands`` lists all hidden commands. (Aaron Bentley)
5345
* ``bzr merge`` now has an option ``--pull`` to fall back to pull if
5346
local is fully merged into remote. (Jan Hudec)
5348
* ``bzr help formats`` describes available directory formats. (Aaron Bentley)
5352
* A few tweaks directly to ``fileids_affected_by_revision_ids`` to
5353
help speed up processing, as well allowing to extract unannotated
5354
lines. Between the two ``fileids_affected_by_revision_ids`` is
5355
improved by approx 10%. (John Arbash Meinel)
5357
* Change Revision serialization to only write out millisecond
5358
resolution. Rather than expecting floating point serialization to
5359
preserve more resolution than we need. (Henri Weichers, Martin Pool)
5361
* Test suite ends cleanly on Windows. (Vincent Ladeuil)
5363
* When ``encoding_type`` attribute of class Command is equal to 'exact',
5364
force sys.stdout to be a binary stream on Windows, and therefore
5365
keep exact line-endings (without LF -> CRLF conversion).
5366
(Alexander Belchenko)
5368
* Single-letter short options are no longer globally declared. (Martin
5371
* Before using detected user/terminal encoding bzr should check
5372
that Python has corresponding codec. (Alexander Belchenko)
5374
* Formats for end-user selection are provided via a FormatRegistry (Aaron Bentley)
5378
* ``bzr missing --verbose`` was showing adds/removals in the wrong
5379
direction. (John Arbash Meinel)
5381
* ``bzr annotate`` now defaults to showing dotted revnos for merged
5382
revisions. It cuts them off at a depth of 12 characters, but you can
5383
supply ``--long`` to see the full number. You can also use
5384
``--show-ids`` to display the original revision ids, rather than
5385
revision numbers and committer names. (John Arbash Meinel, #75637)
5387
* bzr now supports Win32 UNC path (e.g. ``\HOST\path``.
5388
(Alexander Belchenko, #57869)
5390
* Win32-specific: output of cat, bundle and diff commands don't mangle
5391
line-endings (Alexander Belchenko, #55276)
5393
* Replace broken fnmatch based ignore pattern matching with custom pattern
5395
(Kent Gibson, Jan Hudec #57637)
5397
* pycurl and urllib can detect short reads at different places. Update
5398
the test suite to test more cases. Also detect http error code 416
5399
which was raised for that specific bug. Also enhance the urllib
5400
robustness by detecting invalid ranges (and pycurl's one by detecting
5401
short reads during the initial GET). (Vincent Ladeuil, #73948)
5403
* The urllib connection sharing interacts badly with urllib2
5404
proxy setting (the connections didn't go thru the proxy
5405
anymore). Defining a proper ProxyHandler solves the
5406
problem. (Vincent Ladeuil, #74759)
5408
* Use urlutils to generate relative URLs, not osutils
5409
(Aaron Bentley, #76229)
5411
* ``bzr status`` in a readonly directory should work without giving
5412
lots of errors. (John Arbash Meinel, #76299)
5414
* Mention the revisionspec topic for the revision option help.
5415
(Wouter van Heyst, #31663)
5417
* Allow plugins import from zip archives.
5418
(Alexander Belchenko, #68124)

No changes from 0.13rc1
5426
bzr 0.13rc1 2006-11-27
5427
-----------------------
5431
* New command ``bzr remove-tree`` allows the removal of the working
5433
(Daniel Silverstone)
5435
* urllib uses shared keep-alive connections, so http
5436
operations are substantially faster.
5437
(Vincent Ladeuil, #53654)
5439
* ``bzr export`` allows an optional branch parameter, to export a bzr
5440
tree from some other url. For example:
5441
``bzr export bzr.tar.gz http://bazaar-vcs.org/bzr/bzr.dev``
5442
(Daniel Silverstone)
5444
* Added ``bzr help topics`` to the bzr help system. This gives a
5445
location for general information, outside of a specific command.
5446
This includes updates for ``bzr help revisionspec`` the first topic
5447
included. (Goffredo Baroncelli, John Arbash Meinel, #42714)
5449
* WSGI-compatible HTTP smart server. See ``doc/http_smart_server.txt``.
5452
* Knit files will now cache full texts only when the size of the
5453
deltas is as large as the size of the fulltext. (Or after 200
5454
deltas, whichever comes first). This has the most benefit on large
5455
files with small changes, such as the inventory for a large project.
5456
(eg For a project with 2500 files, and 7500 revisions, it changes
5457
the size of inventory.knit from 11MB to 5.4MB) (John Arbash Meinel)
5461
* New -D option given before the command line turns on debugging output
5462
for particular areas. -Derror shows tracebacks on all errors.
5465
* Clean up ``bzr selftest --benchmark bundle`` to correct an import,
5466
and remove benchmarks that take longer than 10min to run.
5467
(John Arbash Meinel)
5469
* Use ``time.time()`` instead of ``time.clock()`` to decide on
5470
progress throttling. Because ``time.clock()`` is actually CPU time,
5471
so over a high-latency connection, too many updates get throttled.
5472
(John Arbash Meinel)
5474
* ``MemoryTransport.list_dir()`` would strip the first character for
5475
files or directories in root directory. (John Arbash Meinel)
5477
* New method ``get_branch_reference`` on 'BzrDir' allows the detection of
5478
branch references - which the smart server component needs.
5480
* New ``ChrootTransportDecorator``, accessible via the ``chroot+`` url
5481
prefix. It disallows any access to locations above a set URL. (Andrew
5486
* Now ``_KnitIndex`` properly decode revision ids when loading index data.
5487
And optimize the knit index parsing code.
5488
(Dmitry Vasiliev, John Arbash Meinel)
5490
* ``bzrlib/bzrdir.py`` was directly referencing ``bzrlib.workingtree``,
5491
without importing it. This prevented ``bzr upgrade`` from working
5492
unless a plugin already imported ``bzrlib.workingtree``
5493
(John Arbash Meinel, #70716)
5495
* Suppress the traceback on invalid URLs (Vincent Ladeuil, #70803).
5497
* Give nicer error message when an http server returns a 403
5498
error code. (Vincent Ladeuil, #57644).
5500
* When a multi-range http GET request fails, try a single
5501
range one. If it fails too, forget about ranges. Remember that until
5502
the death of the transport and propagates that to the clones.
5503
(Vincent Ladeuil, #62276, #62029).
5505
* Handles user/passwords supplied in url from command
5506
line (for the urllib implementation). Don't request already
5507
known passwords (Vincent Ladeuil, #42383, #44647, #48527)
5509
* ``_KnitIndex.add_versions()`` dictionary compresses revision ids as they
5510
are added. This fixes bug where fetching remote revisions records
5511
them as full references rather than integers.
5512
(John Arbash Meinel, #64789)
5514
* ``bzr ignore`` strips trailing slashes in patterns.
5515
Also ``bzr ignore`` rejects absolute paths. (Kent Gibson, #4559)
5517
* ``bzr ignore`` takes multiple arguments. (Cheuksan Edward Wang, #29488)
5519
* mv correctly handles paths that traverse symlinks.
5520
(Aaron Bentley, #66964)
5522
* Give nicer looking error messages when failing to connect over ssh.
5523
(John Arbash Meinel, #49172)
5525
* Pushing to a remote branch does not currently update the remote working
5526
tree. After a remote push, ``bzr status`` and ``bzr diff`` on the remote
5527
machine now show that the working tree is out of date.
5528
(Cheuksan Edward Wang #48136)
5530
* Use patiencediff instead of difflib for determining deltas to insert
5531
into knits. This avoids the O(N^3) behavior of difflib. Patience
5532
diff should be O(N^2). (Cheuksan Edward Wang, #65714)
5534
* Running ``bzr log`` on nonexistent file gives an error instead of the
5535
entire log history. (Cheuksan Edward Wang #50793)
5537
* ``bzr cat`` can look up contents of removed or renamed files. If the
5538
pathname is ambiguous, i.e. the files in the old and new trees have
5539
different id's, the default is the file in the new tree. The user can
5540
use "--name-from-revision" to select the file in the old tree.
5541
(Cheuksan Edward Wang, #30190)
5545
* TestingHTTPRequestHandler really handles the Range header
5546
(previously it was ignoring it and returning the whole file,).
5549
--------------------
5553
* Clean up ``bzr selftest --benchmark bundle`` to correct an import,
5554
and remove benchmarks that take longer than 10min to run.
5555
(John Arbash Meinel)
5557
bzr 0.12rc1 2006-10-23
5558
-----------------------
5562
* ``bzr log`` now shows dotted-decimal revision numbers for all revisions,
5563
rather than just showing a decimal revision number for revisions on the
5564
mainline. These revision numbers are not yet accepted as input into bzr
5565
commands such as log, diff etc. (Robert Collins)
5567
* revisions can now be specified using dotted-decimal revision numbers.
5568
For instance, ``bzr diff -r 1.2.1..1.2.3``. (Robert Collins)
5570
* ``bzr help commands`` output is now shorter (Aaron Bentley)
5572
* ``bzr`` now uses lazy importing to reduce the startup time. This has
5573
a moderate effect on lots of actions, especially ones that have
5574
little to do. For example ``bzr rocks`` time is down to 116ms from
5575
283ms. (John Arbash Meinel)
5577
* New Registry class to provide name-to-object registry-like support,
5578
for example for schemes where plugins can register new classes to
5579
do certain tasks (e.g. log formatters). Also provides lazy registration
5580
to allow modules to be loaded on request.
5581
(John Arbash Meinel, Adeodato Simó)
5583
API INCOMPATABILITY:
5585
* LogFormatter subclasses show now expect the 'revno' parameter to
5586
show() to be a string rather than an int. (Robert Collins)
5590
* ``TestCase.run_bzr``, ``run_bzr_captured``, and ``run_bzr_subprocess``
5591
can take a ``working_dir='foo'`` parameter, which will change directory
5592
for the command. (John Arbash Meinel)
5594
* ``bzrlib.lazy_regex.lazy_compile`` can be used to create a proxy
5595
around a regex, which defers compilation until first use.
5596
(John Arbash Meinel)
5598
* ``TestCase.run_bzr_subprocess`` defaults to supplying the
5599
``--no-plugins`` parameter to ensure test reproducability, and avoid
5600
problems with system-wide installed plugins. (John Arbash Meinel)
5602
* Unique tree root ids are now supported. Newly created trees still
5603
use the common root id for compatibility with bzr versions before 0.12.
5606
* ``WorkingTree.set_root_id(None)`` is now deprecated. Please
5607
pass in ``inventory.ROOT_ID`` if you want the default root id value.
5608
(Robert Collins, John Arbash Meinel)
5610
* New method ``WorkingTree.flush()`` which will write the current memory
5611
inventory out to disk. At the same time, ``read_working_inventory`` will
5612
no longer trash the current tree inventory if it has been modified within
5613
the current lock, and the tree will now ``flush()`` automatically on
5614
``unlock()``. ``WorkingTree.set_root_id()`` has been updated to take
5615
advantage of this functionality. (Robert Collins, John Arbash Meinel)
5617
* ``bzrlib.tsort.merge_sorted`` now accepts ``generate_revnos``. This
5618
parameter will cause it to add another column to its output, which
5619
contains the dotted-decimal revno for each revision, as a tuple.
5622
* ``LogFormatter.show_merge`` is deprecated in favour of
5623
``LogFormatter.show_merge_revno``. (Robert Collins)
5627
* Avoid circular imports by creating a deprecated function for
5628
``bzrlib.tree.RevisionTree``. Callers should have been using
5629
``bzrlib.revisontree.RevisionTree`` anyway. (John Arbash Meinel,
5632
* Don't use ``socket.MSG_WAITALL`` as it doesn't exist on all
5633
platforms. (Martin Pool, #66356)
5635
* Don't require ``Content-Type`` in range responses. Assume they are a
5636
single range if ``Content-Type`` does not exist.
5637
(John Arbash Meinel, #62473)
5639
* bzr branch/pull no longer complain about progress bar cleanup when
5640
interrupted during fetch. (Aaron Bentley, #54000)
5642
* ``WorkingTree.set_parent_trees()`` uses the trees to directly write
5643
the basis inventory, rather than going through the repository. This
5644
allows us to have 1 inventory read, and 2 inventory writes when
5645
committing a new tree. (John Arbash Meinel)
5647
* When reverting, files that are not locally modified that do not exist
5648
in the target are deleted, not just unversioned (Aaron Bentley)
5650
* When trying to acquire a lock, don't fail immediately. Instead, try
5651
a few times (up to 1 hour) before timing out. Also, report why the
5652
lock is unavailable (John Arbash Meinel, #43521, #49556)
5654
* Leave HttpTransportBase daughter classes decides how they
5655
implement cloning. (Vincent Ladeuil, #61606)
5657
* diff3 does not indicate conflicts on clean merge. (Aaron Bentley)
5659
* If a commit fails, the commit message is stored in a file at the root of
5660
the tree for later commit. (Cheuksan Edward Wang, Stefan Metzmacher,
5665
* New test base class TestCaseWithMemoryTransport offers memory-only
5666
testing facilities: its not suitable for tests that need to mutate disk
5667
state, but most tests should not need that and should be converted to
5668
TestCaseWithMemoryTransport. (Robert Collins)
5670
* ``TestCase.make_branch_and_memory_tree`` now takes a format
5671
option to set the BzrDir, Repository and Branch formats of the
5672
created objects. (Robert Collins, John Arbash Meinel)
5675
--------------------
5677
* Smart server transport test failures on windows fixed. (Lukáš Lalinský).
5679
bzr 0.11rc2 2006-09-27
5680
-----------------------
5684
* Test suite hangs on windows fixed. (Andrew Bennets, Alexander Belchenko).
5686
* Commit performance regression fixed. (Aaron Bentley, Robert Collins, John
5689
bzr 0.11rc1 2006-09-25
5690
-----------------------
5694
* Knit files now wait to create their contents until the first data is
5695
added. The old code used to create an empty .knit and a .kndx with just
5696
the header. However, this caused a lot of extra round trips over sftp.
5697
This can change the time for ``bzr push`` to create a new remote branch
5698
from 160s down to 100s. This also affects ``bzr commit`` performance when
5699
adding new files, ``bzr commit`` on a new kernel-like tree drops from 50s
5700
down to 40s (John Arbash Meinel, #44692)
5702
* When an entire subtree has been deleted, commit will now report that
5703
just the top of the subtree has been deleted, rather than reporting
5704
all the individual items. (Robert Collins)
5706
* Commit performs one less XML parse. (Robert Collins)
5708
* ``bzr checkout`` now operates on readonly branches as well
5709
as readwrite branches. This fixes bug #39542. (Robert Collins)
5711
* ``bzr bind`` no longer synchronises history with the master branch.
5712
Binding should be followed by an update or push to synchronise the
5713
two branches. This is closely related to the fix for bug #39542.
5716
* ``bzrlib.lazy_import.lazy_import`` function to create on-demand
5717
objects. This allows all imports to stay at the global scope, but
5718
modules will not actually be imported if they are not used.
5719
(John Arbash Meinel)
5721
* Support ``bzr://`` and ``bzr+ssh://`` urls to work with the new RPC-based
5722
transport which will be used with the upcoming high-performance smart
5723
server. The new command ``bzr serve`` will invoke bzr in server mode,
5724
which processes these requests. (Andrew Bennetts, Robert Collins, Martin
5727
* New command ``bzr version-info`` which can be used to get a summary
5728
of the current state of the tree. This is especially useful as part
5729
of a build commands. See ``doc/version_info.txt`` for more information
5730
(John Arbash Meinel)
5734
* ``'bzr inventory [FILE...]'`` allows restricting the file list to a
5735
specific set of files. (John Arbash Meinel, #3631)
5737
* Don't abort when annotating empty files (John Arbash Meinel, #56814)
5739
* Add ``Stanza.to_unicode()`` which can be passed to another Stanza
5740
when nesting stanzas. Also, add ``read_stanza_unicode`` to handle when
5741
reading a nested Stanza. (John Arbash Meinel)
5743
* Transform._set_mode() needs to stat the right file.
5744
(John Arbash Meinel, #56549)
5746
* Raise WeaveFormatError rather than StopIteration when trying to read
5747
an empty Weave file. (John Arbash Meinel, #46871)
5749
* Don't access e.code for generic URLErrors, only HTTPErrors have .code.
5750
(Vincent Ladeuil, #59835)
5752
* Handle boundary="" lines properly to allow access through a Squid proxy.
5753
(John Arbash Meinel, #57723)
5755
* revert now removes newly-added directories (Aaron Bentley, #54172)
5757
* ``bzr upgrade sftp://`` shouldn't fail to upgrade v6 branches if there
5758
isn't a working tree. (David Allouche, #40679)
5760
* Give nicer error messages when a user supplies an invalid --revision
5761
parameter. (John Arbash Meinel, #55420)
5763
* Handle when LANG is not recognized by python. Emit a warning, but
5764
just revert to using 'ascii'. (John Arbash Meinel, #35392)
5766
* Don't use ``preexec_fn`` on win32, as it is not supported by subprocess.
5767
(John Arbash Meinel)
5769
* Skip specific tests when the dependencies aren't met. This includes
5770
some ``setup.py`` tests when ``python-dev`` is not available, and
5771
some tests that depend on paramiko. (John Arbash Meinel, Mattheiu Moy)
5773
* Fallback to Paramiko properly, if no ``ssh`` executable exists on
5774
the system. (Andrew Bennetts, John Arbash Meinel)
5776
* ``Branch.bind(other_branch)`` no longer takes a write lock on the
5777
other branch, and will not push or pull between the two branches.
5778
API users will need to perform a push or pull or update operation if they
5779
require branch synchronisation to take place. (Robert Collins, #47344)
5781
* When creating a tarball or zipfile export, export unicode names as utf-8
5782
paths. This may not work perfectly on all platforms, but has the best
5783
chance of working in the common case. (John Arbash Meinel, #56816)
5785
* When committing, only files that exist in working tree or basis tree
5786
may be specified (Aaron Bentley, #50793)
5790
* Fixes to run on Python 2.5 (Brian M. Carlson, Martin Pool, Marien Zwart)
5794
* TestCaseInTempDir now creates a separate directory for HOME, rather
5795
than having HOME set to the same location as the working directory.
5796
(John Arbash Meinel)
5798
* ``run_bzr_subprocess()`` can take an optional ``env_changes={}`` parameter,
5799
which will update os.environ inside the spawned child. It also can
5800
take a ``universal_newlines=True``, which helps when checking the output
5801
of the command. (John Arbash Meinel)
5803
* Refactor SFTP vendors to allow easier re-use when ssh is used.
5806
* ``Transport.list_dir()`` and ``Transport.iter_files_recursive()`` should always
5807
return urlescaped paths. This is now tested (there were bugs in a few
5808
of the transports) (Andrew Bennetts, David Allouche, John Arbash Meinel)
5810
* New utility function ``symbol_versioning.deprecation_string``. Returns the
5811
formatted string for a callable, deprecation format pair. (Robert Collins)
5813
* New TestCase helper applyDeprecated. This allows you to call a callable
5814
which is deprecated without it spewing to the screen, just by supplying
5815
the deprecation format string issued for it. (Robert Collins)
5817
* Transport.append and Transport.put have been deprecated in favor of
5818
``.append_bytes``, ``.append_file``, ``.put_bytes``, and
5819
``.put_file``. This removes the ambiguity in what type of object the
5820
functions take. ``Transport.non_atomic_put_{bytes,file}`` has also
5821
been added. Which works similarly to ``Transport.append()`` except for
5822
SFTP, it doesn't have a round trip when opening the file. Also, it
5823
provides functionality for creating a parent directory when trying
5824
to create a file, rather than raise NoSuchFile and forcing the
5825
caller to repeat their request.
5826
(John Arbash Meinel)
5828
* WorkingTree has a new api ``unversion`` which allow the unversioning of
5829
entries by their file id. (Robert Collins)
5831
* ``WorkingTree.pending_merges`` is deprecated. Please use the
5832
``get_parent_ids`` (introduced in 0.10) method instead. (Robert Collins)
5834
* WorkingTree has a new ``lock_tree_write`` method which locks the branch for
5835
read rather than write. This is appropriate for actions which only need
5836
the branch data for reference rather than mutation. A new decorator
5837
``needs_tree_write_lock`` is provided in the workingtree module. Like the
5838
``needs_read_lock`` and ``needs_write_lock`` decorators this allows static
5839
declaration of the locking requirements of a function to ensure that
5840
a lock is taken out for casual scripts. (Robert Collins, #54107)
5842
* All WorkingTree methods which write to the tree, but not to the branch
5843
have been converted to use ``needs_tree_write_lock`` rather than
5844
``needs_write_lock``. Also converted is the revert, conflicts and tree
5845
transform modules. This provides a modest performance improvement on
5846
metadir style trees, due to the reduce lock-acquisition, and a more
5847
significant performance improvement on lightweight checkouts from
5848
remote branches, where trivial operations used to pay a significant
5849
penalty. It also provides the basis for allowing readonly checkouts.
5852
* Special case importing the standard library 'copy' module. This shaves
5853
off 40ms of startup time, while retaining compatibility. See:
5854
``bzrlib/inspect_for_copy.py`` for more details. (John Arbash Meinel)
5856
* WorkingTree has a new parent class MutableTree which represents the
5857
specialisations of Tree which are able to be altered. (Robert Collins)
5859
* New methods mkdir and ``put_file_bytes_non_atomic`` on MutableTree that
5860
mutate the tree and its contents. (Robert Collins)
5862
* Transport behaviour at the root of the URL is now defined and tested.
5863
(Andrew Bennetts, Robert Collins)
5867
* New test helper classs MemoryTree. This is typically accessed via
5868
``self.make_branch_and_memory_tree()`` in test cases. (Robert Collins)
5870
* Add ``start_bzr_subprocess`` and ``stop_bzr_subprocess`` to allow test
5871
code to continue running concurrently with a subprocess of bzr.
5872
(Andrew Bennetts, Robert Collins)
5874
* Add a new method ``Transport.get_smart_client()``. This is provided to
5875
allow upgrades to a richer interface than the VFS one provided by
5876
Transport. (Andrew Bennetts, Martin Pool)
5879
--------------------
5882
* 'merge' now takes --uncommitted, to apply uncommitted changes from a
5883
tree. (Aaron Bentley)
5885
* 'bzr add --file-ids-from' can be used to specify another path to use
5886
for creating file ids, rather than generating all new ones. Internally,
5887
the 'action' passed to ``smart_add_tree()`` can return ``file_ids`` that
5888
will be used, rather than having bzrlib generate new ones.
5889
(John Arbash Meinel, #55781)
5891
* ``bzr selftest --benchmark`` now allows a ``--cache-dir`` parameter.
5892
This will cache some of the intermediate trees, and decrease the
5893
setup time for benchmark tests. (John Arbash Meinel)
5895
* Inverse forms are provided for all boolean options. For example,
5896
--strict has --no-strict, --no-recurse has --recurse (Aaron Bentley)
5898
* Serialize out Inventories directly, rather than using ElementTree.
5899
Writing out a kernel sized inventory drops from 2s down to ~350ms.
5900
(Robert Collins, John Arbash Meinel)
5904
* Help diffutils 2.8.4 get along with binary tests (Marien Zwart: #57614)
5906
* Change LockDir so that if the lock directory doesn't exist when
5907
``lock_write()`` is called, an attempt will be made to create it.
5908
(John Arbash Meinel, #56974)
5910
* ``bzr uncommit`` preserves pending merges. (John Arbash Meinel, #57660)
5912
* Active FTP transport now works as intended. (ghozzy, #56472)
5914
* Really fix mutter() so that it won't ever raise a UnicodeError.
5915
It means it is possible for ~/.bzr.log to contain non UTF-8 characters.
5916
But it is a debugging log, not a real user file.
5917
(John Arbash Meinel, #56947, #53880)
5919
* Change Command handle to allow Unicode command and options.
5920
At present we cannot register Unicode command names, so we will get
5921
BzrCommandError('unknown command'), or BzrCommandError('unknown option')
5922
But that is better than a UnicodeError + a traceback.
5923
(John Arbash Meinel, #57123)
5925
* Handle TZ=UTC properly when reading/writing revisions.
5926
(John Arbash Meinel, #55783, #56290)
5928
* Use ``GPG_TTY`` to allow gpg --cl to work with gpg-agent in a pipeline,
5929
(passing text to sign in on stdin). (John Arbash Meinel, #54468)
5931
* External diff does the right thing for binaries even in foreign
5932
languages. (John Arbash Meinel, #56307)
5934
* Testament handles more cases when content is unicode. Specific bug was
5935
in handling of revision properties.
5936
(John Arbash Meinel, Holger Krekel, #54723)
5938
* The bzr selftest was failing on installed versions due to a bug in a new
5939
test helper. (John Arbash Meinel, Robert Collins, #58057)
5943
* ``bzrlib.cache_utf8`` contains ``encode()`` and ``decode()`` functions
5944
which can be used to cache the conversion between utf8 and Unicode.
5945
Especially helpful for some of the knit annotation code, which has to
5946
convert revision ids to utf8 to annotate lines in storage.
5947
(John Arbash Meinel)
5949
* ``setup.py`` now searches the filesystem to find all packages which
5950
need to be installed. This should help make the life of packagers
5951
easier. (John Arbash Meinel)
5953
bzr 0.9.0 2006-08-11
5954
---------------------
5958
* The hard-coded built-in ignore rules have been removed. There are
5959
now two rulesets which are enforced. A user global one in
5960
``~/.bazaar/ignore`` which will apply to every tree, and the tree
5961
specific one '.bzrignore'.
5962
``~/.bazaar/ignore`` will be created if it does not exist, but with
5963
a more conservative list than the old default.
5964
This fixes bugs with default rules being enforced no matter what.
5965
The old list of ignore rules from bzr is available by
5966
running 'bzr ignore --old-default-rules'.
5967
(Robert Collins, Martin Pool, John Arbash Meinel)
5969
* 'branches.conf' has been changed to 'locations.conf', since it can apply
5970
to more locations than just branch locations.
5975
* The revision specifier "revno:" is extended to accept the syntax
5976
revno:N:branch. For example,
5977
revno:42:http://bazaar-vcs.org/bzr/bzr.dev/ means revision 42 in
5978
bzr.dev. (Matthieu Moy)
5980
* Tests updates to ensure proper URL handling, UNICODE support, and
5981
proper printing when the user's terminal encoding cannot display
5982
the path of a file that has been versioned.
5983
``bzr branch`` can take a target URL rather than only a local directory.
5984
``Branch.get_parent()/set_parent()`` now save a relative path if possible,
5985
and normalize the parent based on root, allowing access across
5986
different transports. (John Arbash Meinel, Wouter van Heyst, Martin Pool)
5987
(Malone #48906, #42699, #40675, #5281, #3980, #36363, #43689,
5990
* On Unix, detect terminal width using an ioctl not just $COLUMNS.
5991
Use terminal width for single-line logs from ``bzr log --line`` and
5992
pending-merge display. (Robert Widhopf-Fenk, Gustavo Niemeyer)
5995
* On Windows, detect terminal width using GetConsoleScreenBufferInfo.
5996
(Alexander Belchenko)
5998
* Speedup improvement for 'date:'-revision search. (Guillaume Pinot).
6000
* Show the correct number of revisions pushed when pushing a new branch.
6003
* 'bzr selftest' now shows a progress bar with the number of tests, and
6004
progress made. 'make check' shows tests in -v mode, to be more useful
6005
for the PQM status window. (Robert Collins).
6006
When using a progress bar, failed tests are printed out, rather than
6007
being overwritten by the progress bar until the suite finishes.
6008
(John Arbash Meinel)
6010
* 'bzr selftest --benchmark' will run a new benchmarking selftest.
6011
'bzr selftest --benchmark --lsprof-timed' will use lsprofile to generate
6012
profile data for the individual profiled calls, allowing for fine
6013
grained analysis of performance.
6014
(Robert Collins, Martin Pool).
6016
* 'bzr commit' shows a progress bar. This is useful for commits over sftp
6017
where commit can take an appreciable time. (Robert Collins)
6019
* 'bzr add' is now less verbose in telling you what ignore globs were
6020
matched by files being ignored. Instead it just tells you how many
6021
were ignored (because you might reasonably be expecting none to be
6022
ignored). 'bzr add -v' is unchanged and will report every ignored
6023
file. (Robert Collins).
6025
* ftp now has a test server if medusa is installed. As part of testing,
6026
ftp support has been improved, including support for supplying a
6027
non-standard port. (John Arbash Meinel).
6029
* 'bzr log --line' shows the revision number, and uses only the
6030
first line of the log message (#5162, Alexander Belchenko;
6033
* 'bzr status' has had the --all option removed. The 'bzr ls' command
6034
should be used to retrieve all versioned files. (Robert Collins)
6036
* 'bzr bundle OTHER/BRANCH' will create a bundle which can be sent
6037
over email, and applied on the other end, while maintaining ancestry.
6038
This bundle can be applied with either 'bzr merge' or 'bzr pull',
6039
the same way you would apply another branch.
6040
(John Arbash Meinel, Aaron Bentley)
6042
* 'bzr whoami' can now be used to set your identity from the command line,
6043
for a branch or globally. (Robey Pointer)
6045
* 'bzr checkout' now aliased to 'bzr co', and 'bzr annotate' to 'bzr ann'.
6048
* 'bzr revert DIRECTORY' now reverts the contents of the directory as well.
6051
* 'bzr get sftp://foo' gives a better error when paramiko is not present.
6052
Also updates things like 'http+pycurl://' if pycurl is not present.
6053
(John Arbash Meinel) (Malone #47821, #52204)
6055
* New env variable ``BZR_PROGRESS_BAR``, sets the default progress bar type.
6056
Can be set to 'none' or 'dummy' to disable the progress bar, 'dots' or
6057
'tty' to create the respective type. (John Arbash Meinel, #42197, #51107)
6059
* Improve the help text for 'bzr diff' to explain what various options do.
6060
(John Arbash Meinel, #6391)
6062
* 'bzr uncommit -r 10' now uncommits revisions 11.. rather than uncommitting
6063
revision 10. This makes -r10 more in line with what other commands do.
6064
'bzr uncommit' also now saves the pending merges of the revisions that
6065
were removed. So it is safe to uncommit after a merge, fix something,
6066
and commit again. (John Arbash Meinel, #32526, #31426)
6068
* 'bzr init' now also works on remote locations.
6069
(Wouter van Heyst, #48904)
6071
* HTTP support has been updated. When using pycurl we now support
6072
connection keep-alive, which reduces dns requests and round trips.
6073
And for both urllib and pycurl we support multi-range requests,
6074
which decreases the number of round-trips. Performance results for
6075
``bzr branch http://bazaar-vcs.org/bzr/bzr.dev/`` indicate
6076
http branching is now 2-3x faster, and ``bzr pull`` in an existing
6077
branch is as much as 4x faster.
6078
(Michael Ellerman, Johan Rydberg, John Arbash Meinel, #46768)
6080
* Performance improvements for sftp. Branching and pulling are now up to
6081
2x faster. Utilize paramiko.readv() support for async requests if it
6082
is available (paramiko > 1.6) (John Arbash Meinel)
6086
* Fix shadowed definition of TestLocationConfig that caused some
6088
(Erik Bågfors, Michael Ellerman, Martin Pool, #32587)
6090
* Fix unnecessary requirement of sign-my-commits that it be run from
6091
a working directory. (Martin Pool, Robert Collins)
6093
* 'bzr push location' will only remember the push location if it succeeds
6094
in connecting to the remote location. (John Arbash Meinel, #49742)
6096
* 'bzr revert' no longer toggles the executable bit on win32
6097
(John Arbash Meinel, #45010)
6099
* Handle broken pipe under win32 correctly. (John Arbash Meinel)
6101
* sftp tests now work correctly on win32 if you have a newer paramiko
6102
(John Arbash Meinel)
6104
* Cleanup win32 test suite, and general cleanup of places where
6105
file handles were being held open. (John Arbash Meinel)
6107
* When specifying filenames for 'diff -r x..y', the name of the file in the
6108
working directory can be used, even if its name is different in both x
6111
* File-ids containing single- or double-quotes are handled correctly by
6112
push. (Aaron Bentley, #52227)
6114
* Normalize unicode filenames to ensure cross-platform consistency.
6115
(John Arbash Meinel, #43689)
6117
* The argument parser can now handle '-' as an argument. Currently
6118
no code interprets it specially (it is mostly handled as a file named
6119
'-'). But plugins, and future operations can use it.
6120
(John Arbash meinel, #50984)
6122
* Bundles can properly read binary files with a plain '\r' in them.
6123
(John Arbash Meinel, #51927)
6125
* Tuning ``iter_entries()`` to be more efficient (John Arbash Meinel, #5444)
6127
* Lots of win32 fixes (the test suite passes again).
6128
(John Arbash Meinel, #50155)
6130
* Handle openbsd returning None for sys.getfilesystemencoding() (#41183)
6132
* Support ftp APPE (append) to allow Knits to be used over ftp (#42592)
6134
* Removals are only committed if they match the filespec (or if there is
6135
no filespec). (#46635, Aaron Bentley)
6137
* smart-add recurses through all supplied directories
6138
(John Arbash Meinel, #52578)
6140
* Make the bundle reader extra lines before and after the bundle text.
6141
This allows you to parse an email with the bundle inline.
6142
(John Arbash Meinel, #49182)
6144
* Change the file id generator to squash a little bit more. Helps when
6145
working with long filenames on windows. (Also helps for unicode filenames
6146
not generating hidden files). (John Arbash Meinel, #43801)
6148
* Restore terminal mode on C-c while reading sftp password. (#48923,
6149
Nicholas Allen, Martin Pool)
6151
* Timestamps are rounded to 1ms, and revision entries can be recreated
6152
exactly. (John Arbash Meinel, Jamie Wilkinson, #40693)
6154
* Branch.base has changed to a URL, but ~/.bazaar/locations.conf should
6155
use local paths, since it is user visible (John Arbash Meinel, #53653)
6157
* ``bzr status foo`` when foo was unversioned used to cause a full delta
6158
to be generated (John Arbash Meinel, #53638)
6160
* When reading revision properties, an empty value should be considered
6161
the empty string, not None (John Arbash Meinel, #47782)
6163
* ``bzr diff --diff-options`` can now handle binary files being changed.
6164
Also, the output is consistent when --diff-options is not supplied.
6165
(John Arbash Meinel, #54651, #52930)
6167
* Use the right suffixes for loading plugins (John Arbash Meinel, #51810)
6169
* Fix ``Branch.get_parent()`` to handle the case when the parent is not
6170
accessible (John Arbash Meinel, #52976)
6174
* Combine the ignore rules into a single regex rather than looping over
6175
them to reduce the threshold where N^2 behaviour occurs in operations
6176
like status. (Jan Hudec, Robert Collins).
6178
* Appending to ``bzrlib.DEFAULT_IGNORE`` is now deprecated. Instead, use
6179
one of the add functions in bzrlib.ignores. (John Arbash Meinel)
6181
* 'bzr push' should only push the ancestry of the current revision, not
6182
all of the history in the repository. This is especially important for
6183
shared repositories. (John Arbash Meinel)
6185
* ``bzrlib.delta.compare_trees`` now iterates in alphabetically sorted order,
6186
rather than randomly walking the inventories. (John Arbash Meinel)
6188
* Doctests are now run in temporary directories which are cleaned up when
6189
they finish, rather than using special ScratchDir/ScratchBranch objects.
6192
* Split ``check`` into separate methods on the branch and on the repository,
6193
so that it can be specialized in ways that are useful or efficient for
6194
different formats. (Martin Pool, Robert Collins)
6196
* Deprecate ``Repository.all_revision_ids``; most methods don't really need
6197
the global revision graph but only that part leading up to a particular
6198
revision. (Martin Pool, Robert Collins)
6200
* Add a BzrDirFormat ``control_formats`` list which allows for control formats
6201
that do not use '.bzr' to store their data - i.e. '.svn', '.hg' etc.
6202
(Robert Collins, Jelmer Vernooij).
6204
* ``bzrlib.diff.external_diff`` can be redirected to any file-like object.
6205
Uses subprocess instead of spawnvp.
6206
(James Henstridge, John Arbash Meinel, #4047, #48914)
6208
* New command line option '--profile-imports', which will install a custom
6209
importer to log time to import modules and regex compilation time to
6210
sys.stderr (John Arbash Meinel)
6212
* 'EmptyTree' is now deprecated, please use ``repository.revision_tree(None)``
6213
instead. (Robert Collins)
6215
* "RevisionTree" is now in bzrlib/revisiontree.py. (Robert Collins)
6217
bzr 0.8.2 2006-05-17
6218
---------------------
6222
* setup.py failed to install launchpad plugin. (Martin Pool)
6224
bzr 0.8.1 2006-05-16
6225
---------------------
6229
* Fix failure to commit a merge in a checkout. (Martin Pool,
6230
Robert Collins, Erik Bågfors, #43959)
6232
* Nicer messages from 'commit' in the case of renames, and correct
6233
messages when a merge has occured. (Robert Collins, Martin Pool)
6235
* Separate functionality from assert statements as they are skipped in
6236
optimized mode of python. Add the same check to pending merges.
6237
(Olaf Conradi, #44443)
6241
* Do not show the None revision in output of bzr ancestry. (Olaf Conradi)
6243
* Add info on standalone branches without a working tree.
6244
(Olaf Conradi, #44155)
6246
* Fix bug in knits when raising InvalidRevisionId. (Olaf Conradi, #44284)
6250
* Make editor invocation comply with Debian Policy. First check
6251
environment variables VISUAL and EDITOR, then try editor from
6252
alternatives system. If that all fails, fall back to the pre-defined
6253
list of editors. (Olaf Conradi, #42904)
6257
* New 'register-branch' command registers a public branch into
6258
Launchpad.net, where it can be associated with bugs, etc.
6259
(Martin Pool, Bjorn Tillenius, Robert Collins)
6263
* New public api in InventoryEntry - ``describe_change(old, new)`` which
6264
provides a human description of the changes between two old and
6265
new. (Robert Collins, Martin Pool)
6269
* Fix test case for bzr info in upgrading a standalone branch to metadir,
6270
uses bzrlib api now. (Olaf Conradi)
6275
NOTES WHEN UPGRADING:
6277
Release 0.8 of bzr introduces a new format for history storage, called
6278
'knit', as an evolution of to the 'weave' format used in 0.7. Local
6279
and remote operations are faster using knits than weaves. Several
6280
operations including 'init', 'init-repo', and 'upgrade' take a
6281
--format option that controls this. Branching from an existing branch
6282
will keep the same format.
6284
It is possible to merge, pull and push between branches of different
6285
formats but this is slower than moving data between homogenous
6286
branches. It is therefore recommended (but not required) that you
6287
upgrade all branches for a project at the same time. Information on
6288
formats is shown by 'bzr info'.
6290
bzr 0.8 now allows creation of 'repositories', which hold the history
6291
of files and revisions for several branches. Previously bzr kept all
6292
the history for a branch within the .bzr directory at the root of the
6293
branch, and this is still the default. To create a repository, use
6294
the new 'bzr init-repo' command. Branches exist as directories under
6295
the repository and contain just a small amount of information
6296
indicating the current revision of the branch.
6298
bzr 0.8 also supports 'checkouts', which are similar to in cvs and
6299
subversion. Checkouts are associated with a branch (optionally in a
6300
repository), which contains all the historical information. The
6301
result is that a checkout can be deleted without losing any
6302
already-committed revisions. A new 'update' command is also available.
6304
Repositories and checkouts are not supported with the 0.7 storage
6305
format. To use them you must upgrad to either knits, or to the
6306
'metaweave' format, which uses weaves but changes the .bzr directory
6312
* Sftp paths can now be relative, or local, according to the lftp
6313
convention. Paths now take the form::
6315
sftp://user:pass@host:port/~/relative/path
6317
sftp://user:pass@host:port/absolute/path
6319
* The FTP transport now tries to reconnect after a temporary
6320
failure. ftp put is made atomic. (Matthieu Moy)
6322
* The FTP transport now maintains a pool of connections, and
6323
reuses them to avoid multiple connections to the same host (like
6324
sftp did). (Daniel Silverstone)
6326
* The ``bzr_man.py`` file has been removed. To create the man page now,
6327
use ``./generate_docs.py man``. The new program can also create other files.
6328
Run ``python generate_docs.py --help`` for usage information.
6329
(Hans Ulrich Niedermann & James Blackwell).
6331
* Man Page now gives full help (James Blackwell).
6332
Help also updated to reflect user config now being stored in .bazaar
6333
(Hans Ulrich Niedermann)
6335
* It's now possible to set aliases in bazaar.conf (Erik Bågfors)
6337
* Pull now accepts a --revision argument (Erik Bågfors)
6339
* ``bzr re-sign`` now allows multiple revisions to be supplied on the command
6340
line. You can now use the following command to sign all of your old
6343
find .bzr/revision-store// -name my@email-* \
6344
| sed 's/.*\/\/..\///' \
6347
* Upgrade can now upgrade over the network. (Robert Collins)
6349
* Two new commands 'bzr checkout' and 'bzr update' allow for CVS/SVN-alike
6350
behaviour. By default they will cache history in the checkout, but
6351
with --lightweight almost all data is kept in the master branch.
6354
* 'revert' unversions newly-versioned files, instead of deleting them.
6356
* 'merge' is more robust. Conflict messages have changed.
6358
* 'merge' and 'revert' no longer clobber existing files that end in '~' or
6361
* Default log format can be set in configuration and plugins can register
6362
their own formatters. (Erik Bågfors)
6364
* New 'reconcile' command will check branch consistency and repair indexes
6365
that can become out of sync in pre 0.8 formats. (Robert Collins,
6368
* New 'bzr init --format' and 'bzr upgrade --format' option to control
6369
what storage format is created or produced. (Robert Collins,
6372
* Add parent location to 'bzr info', if there is one. (Olaf Conradi)
6374
* New developer commands 'weave-list' and 'weave-join'. (Martin Pool)
6376
* New 'init-repository' command, plus support for repositories in 'init'
6377
and 'branch' (Aaron Bentley, Erik Bågfors, Robert Collins)
6379
* Improve output of 'info' command. Show all relevant locations related to
6380
working tree, branch and repository. Use kibibytes for binary quantities.
6381
Fix off-by-one error in missing revisions of working tree. Make 'info'
6382
work on branches, repositories and remote locations. Show locations
6383
relative to the shared repository, if applicable. Show locking status
6384
of locations. (Olaf Conradi)
6386
* Diff and merge now safely handle binary files. (Aaron Bentley)
6388
* 'pull' and 'push' now normalise the revision history, so that any two
6389
branches with the same tip revision will have the same output from 'log'.
6392
* 'merge' accepts --remember option to store parent location, like 'push'
6393
and 'pull'. (Olaf Conradi)
6395
* bzr status and diff when files given as arguments do not exist
6396
in the relevant trees. (Martin Pool, #3619)
6398
* Add '.hg' to the default ignore list. (Martin Pool)
6400
* 'knit' is now the default disk format. This improves disk performance and
6401
utilization, increases incremental pull performance, robustness with SFTP
6402
and allows checkouts over SFTP to perform acceptably.
6403
The initial Knit code was contributed by Johan Rydberg based on a
6404
specification by Martin Pool.
6405
(Robert Collins, Aaron Bentley, Johan Rydberg, Martin Pool).
6407
* New tool to generate all-in-one html version of the manual. (Alexander
6410
* Hitting CTRL-C while doing an SFTP push will no longer cause stale locks
6411
to be left in the SFTP repository. (Robert Collins, Martin Pool).
6413
* New option 'diff --prefix' to control how files are named in diff
6414
output, with shortcuts '-p0' and '-p1' corresponding to the options for
6415
GNU patch. (Alexander Belchenko, Goffredo Baroncelli, Martin Pool)
6417
* Add --revision option to 'annotate' command. (Olaf Conradi)
6419
* If bzr shows an unexpected revision-history after pulling (perhaps due
6420
to a reweave) it can now be corrected by 'bzr reconcile'.
6425
* Commit is now verbose by default, and shows changed filenames and the
6426
new revision number. (Robert Collins, Martin Pool)
6428
* Unify 'mv', 'move', 'rename'. (Matthew Fuller, #5379)
6430
* 'bzr -h' shows help. (Martin Pool, Ian Bicking, #35940)
6432
* Make 'pull' and 'push' remember location on failure using --remember.
6435
* For compatibility, make old format for using weaves inside metadir
6436
available as 'metaweave' format. Rename format 'metadir' to 'default'.
6437
Clean up help for option --format in commands 'init', 'init-repo' and
6438
'upgrade'. (Olaf Conradi)
6442
* The internal storage of history, and logical branch identity have now
6443
been split into Branch, and Repository. The common locking and file
6444
management routines are now in bzrlib.lockablefiles.
6445
(Aaron Bentley, Robert Collins, Martin Pool)
6447
* Transports can now raise DependencyNotPresent if they need a library
6448
which is not installed, and then another implementation will be
6449
tried. (Martin Pool)
6451
* Remove obsolete (and no-op) `decode` parameter to `Transport.get`.
6454
* Using Tree Transform for merge, revert, tree-building
6456
* WorkingTree.create, Branch.create, ``WorkingTree.create_standalone``,
6457
Branch.initialize are now deprecated. Please see ``BzrDir.create_*`` for
6458
replacement API's. (Robert Collins)
6460
* New BzrDir class represents the .bzr control directory and manages
6461
formatting issues. (Robert Collins)
6463
* New repository.InterRepository class encapsulates Repository to
6464
Repository actions and allows for clean selection of optimised code
6465
paths. (Robert Collins)
6467
* ``bzrlib.fetch.fetch`` and ``bzrlib.fetch.greedy_fetch`` are now
6468
deprecated, please use ``branch.fetch`` or ``repository.fetch``
6469
depending on your needs. (Robert Collins)
6471
* deprecated methods now have a ``is_deprecated`` flag on them that can
6472
be checked, if you need to determine whether a given callable is
6473
deprecated at runtime. (Robert Collins)
6475
* Progress bars are now nested - see
6476
``bzrlib.ui.ui_factory.nested_progress_bar``.
6477
(Robert Collins, Robey Pointer)
6479
* New API call ``get_format_description()`` for each type of format.
6482
* Changed ``branch.set_parent()`` to accept None to remove parent.
6485
* Deprecated BzrError AmbiguousBase. (Olaf Conradi)
6487
* WorkingTree.branch is now a read only property. (Robert Collins)
6489
* bzrlib.ui.text.TextUIFactory now accepts a ``bar_type`` parameter which
6490
can be None or a factory that will create a progress bar. This is
6491
useful for testing or for overriding the bzrlib.progress heuristic.
6494
* New API method ``get_physical_lock_status()`` to query locks present on a
6495
transport. (Olaf Conradi)
6497
* Repository.reconcile now takes a thorough keyword parameter to allow
6498
requesting an indepth reconciliation, rather than just a data-loss
6499
check. (Robert Collins)
6501
* ``bzrlib.ui.ui_factory protocol`` now supports ``get_boolean`` to prompt
6502
the user for yes/no style input. (Robert Collins)
6506
* SFTP tests now shortcut the SSH negotiation, reducing test overhead
6507
for testing SFTP protocol support. (Robey Pointer)
6509
* Branch formats are now tested once per implementation (see ``bzrlib.
6510
tests.branch_implementations``. This is analagous to the transport
6511
interface tests, and has been followed up with working tree,
6512
repository and BzrDir tests. (Robert Collins)
6514
* New test base class TestCaseWithTransport provides a transport aware
6515
test environment, useful for testing any transport-interface using
6516
code. The test suite option --transport controls the transport used
6517
by this class (when its not being used as part of implementation
6518
contract testing). (Robert Collins)
6520
* Close logging handler on disabling the test log. This will remove the
6521
handler from the internal list inside python's logging module,
6522
preventing shutdown from closing it twice. (Olaf Conradi)
6524
* Move test case for uncommit to blackbox tests. (Olaf Conradi)
6526
* ``run_bzr`` and ``run_bzr_captured`` now accept a 'stdin="foo"'
6527
parameter which will provide String("foo") to the command as its stdin.
6534
* .bzrignore is excluded from exports, on the grounds that it's a bzr
6535
internal-use file and may not be wanted. (Jamie Wilkinson)
6537
* The "bzr directories" command were removed in favor of the new
6538
--kind option to the "bzr inventory" command. To list all
6539
versioned directories, now use "bzr inventory --kind directory".
6542
* Under Windows configuration directory is now ``%APPDATA%\bazaar\2.0``
6543
by default. (John Arbash Meinel)
6545
* The parent of Bzr configuration directory can be set by ``BZR_HOME``
6546
environment variable. Now the path for it is searched in ``BZR_HOME``,
6547
then in HOME. Under Windows the order is: ``BZR_HOME``, ``APPDATA``
6548
(usually points to ``C:\Documents and Settings\User Name\Application Data``),
6549
``HOME``. (John Arbash Meinel)
6551
* Plugins with the same name in different directories in the bzr plugin
6552
path are no longer loaded: only the first successfully loaded one is
6553
used. (Robert Collins)
6555
* Use systems' external ssh command to open connections if possible.
6556
This gives better integration with user settings such as ProxyCommand.
6559
* Permissions on files underneath .bzr/ are inherited from the .bzr
6560
directory. So for a shared repository, simply doing 'chmod -R g+w .bzr/'
6561
will mean that future file will be created with group write permissions.
6563
* configure.in and config.guess are no longer in the builtin default
6566
* '.sw[nop]' pattern ignored, to ignore vim swap files for nameless
6567
files. (John Arbash Meinel, Martin Pool)
6571
* "bzr INIT dir" now initializes the specified directory, and creates
6572
it if it does not exist. (John Arbash Meinel)
6574
* New remerge command (Aaron Bentley)
6576
* Better zsh completion script. (Steve Borho)
6578
* 'bzr diff' now returns 1 when there are changes in the working
6579
tree. (Robert Collins)
6581
* 'bzr push' now exists and can push changes to a remote location.
6582
This uses the transport infrastructure, and can store the remote
6583
location in the ~/.bazaar/branches.conf configuration file.
6586
* Test directories are only kept if the test fails and the user requests
6589
* Tweaks to short log printing
6591
* Added branch nicks, new nick command, printing them in log output.
6594
* If ``$BZR_PDB`` is set, pop into the debugger when an uncaught exception
6595
occurs. (Martin Pool)
6597
* Accept 'bzr resolved' (an alias for 'bzr resolve'), as this is
6598
the same as Subversion. (Martin Pool)
6600
* New ftp transport support (on ftplib), for ftp:// and aftp://
6601
URLs. (Daniel Silverstone)
6603
* Commit editor temporary files now start with ``bzr_log.``, to allow
6604
text editors to match the file name and set up appropriate modes or
6605
settings. (Magnus Therning)
6607
* Improved performance when integrating changes from a remote weave.
6608
(Goffredo Baroncelli)
6610
* Sftp will attempt to cache the connection, so it is more likely that
6611
a connection will be reused, rather than requiring multiple password
6614
* bzr revno now takes an optional argument indicating the branch whose
6615
revno should be printed. (Michael Ellerman)
6617
* bzr cat defaults to printing the last version of the file.
6618
(Matthieu Moy, #3632)
6620
* New global option 'bzr --lsprof COMMAND' runs bzr under the lsprof
6621
profiler. (Denys Duchier)
6623
* Faster commits by reading only the headers of affected weave files.
6626
* 'bzr add' now takes a --dry-run parameter which shows you what would be
6627
added, but doesn't actually add anything. (Michael Ellerman)
6629
* 'bzr add' now lists how many files were ignored per glob. add --verbose
6630
lists the specific files. (Aaron Bentley)
6632
* 'bzr missing' now supports displaying changes in diverged trees and can
6633
be limited to show what either end of the comparison is missing.
6634
(Aaron Bently, with a little prompting from Daniel Silverstone)
6638
* SFTP can walk up to the root path without index errors. (Robert Collins)
6640
* Fix bugs in running bzr with 'python -O'. (Martin Pool)
6642
* Error when run with -OO
6644
* Fix bug in reporting http errors that don't have an http error code.
6647
* Handle more cases of pipe errors in display commands
6649
* Change status to 3 for all errors
6651
* Files that are added and unlinked before committing are completely
6652
ignored by diff and status
6654
* Stores with some compressed texts and some uncompressed texts are now
6655
able to be used. (John A Meinel)
6657
* Fix for bzr pull failing sometimes under windows
6659
* Fix for sftp transport under windows when using interactive auth
6661
* Show files which are both renamed and modified as such in 'bzr
6662
status' output. (Daniel Silverstone, #4503)
6664
* Make annotate cope better with revisions committed without a valid
6665
email address. (Marien Zwart)
6667
* Fix representation of tab characters in commit messages.
6670
* List of plugin directories in ``BZR_PLUGIN_PATH`` environment variable is
6671
now parsed properly under Windows. (Alexander Belchenko)
6673
* Show number of revisions pushed/pulled/merged. (Robey Pointer)
6675
* Keep a cached copy of the basis inventory to speed up operations
6676
that need to refer to it. (Johan Rydberg, Martin Pool)
6678
* Fix bugs in bzr status display of non-ascii characters.
6681
* Remove Makefile.in from default ignore list.
6682
(Tollef Fog Heen, Martin Pool, #6413)
6684
* Fix failure in 'bzr added'. (Nathan McCallum, Martin Pool)
6688
* Fix selftest asking for passwords when there are no SFTP keys.
6689
(Robey Pointer, Jelmer Vernooij)
6691
* Fix selftest run with 'python -O'. (Martin Pool)
6693
* Fix HTTP tests under Windows. (John Arbash Meinel)
6695
* Make tests work even if HOME is not set (Aaron Bentley)
6697
* Updated ``build_tree`` to use fixed line-endings for tests which read
6698
the file cotents and compare. Make some tests use this to pass under
6699
Windows. (John Arbash Meinel)
6701
* Skip stat and symlink tests under Windows. (Alexander Belchenko)
6703
* Delay in selftest/testhashcash is now issued under win32 and Cygwin.
6704
(John Arbash Meinel)
6706
* Use terminal width to align verbose test output. (Martin Pool)
6708
* Blackbox tests are maintained within the bzrlib.tests.blackbox directory.
6709
If adding a new test script please add that to
6710
``bzrlib.tests.blackbox.__init__``. (Robert Collins)
6712
* Much better error message if one of the test suites can't be
6713
imported. (Martin Pool)
6715
* Make check now runs the test suite twice - once with the default locale,
6716
and once with all locales forced to C, to expose bugs. This is not
6717
trivially done within python, so for now its only triggered by running
6718
Make check. Integrators and packagers who wish to check for full
6719
platform support should run 'make check' to test the source.
6722
* Tests can now run TestSkipped if they can't execute for any reason.
6723
(Martin Pool) (NB: TestSkipped should only be raised for correctable
6724
reasons - see the wiki spec ImprovingBzrTestSuite).
6726
* Test sftp with relative, absolute-in-homedir and absolute-not-in-homedir
6727
paths for the transport tests. Introduce blackbox remote sftp tests that
6728
test the same permutations. (Robert Collins, Robey Pointer)
6730
* Transport implementation tests are now independent of the local file
6731
system, which allows tests for esoteric transports, and for features
6732
not available in the local file system. They also repeat for variations
6733
on the URL scheme that can introduce issues in the transport code,
6734
see bzrlib.transport.TransportTestProviderAdapter() for this.
6737
* ``TestCase.build_tree`` uses the transport interface to build trees,
6738
pass in a transport parameter to give it an existing connection.
6743
* WorkingTree.pull has been split across Branch and WorkingTree,
6744
to allow Branch only pulls. (Robert Collins)
6746
* ``commands.display_command`` now returns the result of the decorated
6747
function. (Robert Collins)
6749
* LocationConfig now has a ``set_user_option(key, value)`` call to save
6750
a setting in its matching location section (a new one is created
6751
if needed). (Robert Collins)
6753
* Branch has two new methods, ``get_push_location`` and
6754
``set_push_location`` to respectively, get and set the push location.
6757
* ``commands.register_command`` now takes an optional flag to signal that
6758
the registrant is planning to decorate an existing command. When
6759
given multiple plugins registering a command is not an error, and
6760
the original command class (whether built in or a plugin based one) is
6761
returned to the caller. There is a new error 'MustUseDecorated' for
6762
signalling when a wrapping command should switch to the original
6763
version. (Robert Collins)
6765
* Some option parsing errors will raise 'BzrOptionError', allowing
6766
granular detection for decorating commands. (Robert Collins).
6768
* ``Branch.read_working_inventory`` has moved to
6769
``WorkingTree.read_working_inventory``. This necessitated changes to
6770
``Branch.get_root_id``, and a move of ``Branch.set_inventory`` to
6771
WorkingTree as well. To make it clear that a WorkingTree cannot always
6772
be obtained ``Branch.working_tree()`` will raise
6773
``errors.NoWorkingTree`` if one cannot be obtained. (Robert Collins)
6775
* All pending merges operations from Branch are now on WorkingTree.
6778
* The follow operations from Branch have moved to WorkingTree::
6788
* ``bzrlib.add.smart_add_branch`` is now ``smart_add_tree``. (Robert Collins)
6790
* New "rio" serialization format, similar to rfc-822. (Martin Pool)
6792
* Rename selftests to ``bzrlib.tests.test_foo``. (John A Meinel, Martin
6795
* ``bzrlib.plugin.all_plugins`` has been changed from an attribute to a
6796
query method. (Robert Collins)
6798
* New options to read only the table-of-contents of a weave.
6801
* Raise NoSuchFile when someone tries to add a non-existant file.
6804
* Simplify handling of DivergedBranches in ``cmd_pull()``.
6807
* Branch.controlfile* logic has moved to lockablefiles.LockableFiles, which
6808
is exposed as ``Branch().control_files``. Also this has been altered with the
6809
controlfile pre/suffix replaced by simple method names like 'get' and
6810
'put'. (Aaron Bentley, Robert Collins).
6812
* Deprecated functions and methods can now be marked as such using the
6813
``bzrlib.symbol_versioning`` module. Marked method have their docstring
6814
updated and will issue a DeprecationWarning using the warnings module
6815
when they are used. (Robert Collins)
6817
* ``bzrlib.osutils.safe_unicode`` now exists to provide parameter coercion
6818
for functions that need unicode strings. (Robert Collins)
6825
* pull now takes --verbose to show you what revisions are added or removed
6828
* merge now takes a --show-base option to include the base text in
6832
* The config files are now read using ConfigObj, so '=' should be used as
6833
a separator, not ':'.
6836
* New 'bzr commit --strict' option refuses to commit if there are
6837
any unknown files in the tree. To commit, make sure all files are
6838
either ignored, added, or deleted. (Michael Ellerman)
6840
* The config directory is now ~/.bazaar, and there is a single file
6841
~/.bazaar/bazaar.conf storing email, editor and other preferences.
6844
* 'bzr add' no longer takes a --verbose option, and a --quiet option
6845
has been added that suppresses all output.
6847
* Improved zsh completion support in contrib/zsh, from Clint
6850
* Builtin 'bzr annotate' command, by Martin Pool with improvements from
6851
Goffredo Baroncelli.
6853
* 'bzr check' now accepts -v for verbose reporting, and checks for
6854
ghosts in the branch. (Robert Collins)
6856
* New command 're-sign' which will regenerate the gpg signature for
6857
a revision. (Robert Collins)
6859
* If you set ``check_signatures=require`` for a path in
6860
``~/.bazaar/branches.conf`` then bzr will invoke your
6861
``gpg_signing_command`` (defaults to gpg) and record a digital signature
6862
of your commit. (Robert Collins)
6864
* New sftp transport, based on Paramiko. (Robey Pointer)
6866
* 'bzr pull' now accepts '--clobber' which will discard local changes
6867
and make this branch identical to the source branch. (Robert Collins)
6869
* Just give a quieter warning if a plugin can't be loaded, and
6870
put the details in .bzr.log. (Martin Pool)
6872
* 'bzr branch' will now set the branch-name to the last component of the
6873
output directory, if one was supplied.
6875
* If the option ``post_commit`` is set to one (or more) python function
6876
names (must be in the bzrlib namespace), then they will be invoked
6877
after the commit has completed, with the branch and ``revision_id`` as
6878
parameters. (Robert Collins)
6880
* Merge now has a retcode of 1 when conflicts occur. (Robert Collins)
6882
* --merge-type weave is now supported for file contents. Tree-shape
6883
changes are still three-way based. (Martin Pool, Aaron Bentley)
6885
* 'bzr check' allows the first revision on revision-history to have
6886
parents - something that is expected for cheap checkouts, and occurs
6887
when conversions from baz do not have all history. (Robert Collins).
6889
* 'bzr merge' can now graft unrelated trees together, if your specify
6890
0 as a base. (Aaron Bentley)
6892
* 'bzr commit branch' and 'bzr commit branch/file1 branch/file2' now work
6895
* Add '.sconsign*' to default ignore list. (Alexander Belchenko)
6897
* 'bzr merge --reprocess' minimizes conflicts
6901
* The 'bzr selftest --pattern' option for has been removed, now
6902
test specifiers on the command line can be simple strings, or
6903
regexps, or both. (Robert Collins)
6905
* Passing -v to selftest will now show the time each test took to
6906
complete, which will aid in analysing performance regressions and
6907
related questions. (Robert Collins)
6909
* 'bzr selftest' runs all tests, even if one fails, unless '--one'
6910
is given. (Martin Pool)
6912
* There is a new method for TestCaseInTempDir, assertFileEqual, which
6913
will check that a given content is equal to the content of the named
6914
file. (Robert Collins)
6916
* Fix test suite's habit of leaving many temporary log files in $TMPDIR.
6921
* New 'testament' command and concept for making gpg-signatures
6922
of revisions that are not tied to a particular internal
6923
representation. (Martin Pool).
6925
* Per-revision properties ('revprops') as key-value associated
6926
strings on each revision created when the revision is committed.
6927
Intended mainly for the use of external tools. (Martin Pool).
6929
* Config options have moved from bzrlib.osutils to bzrlib.config.
6932
* Improved command line option definitions allowing explanations
6933
for individual options, among other things. Contributed by
6936
* Config options have moved from bzrlib.osutils to bzrlib.config.
6937
Configuration is now done via the config.Config interface:
6938
Depending on whether you have a Branch, a Location or no information
6939
available, construct a ``*Config``, and use its ``signature_checking``,
6940
``username`` and ``user_email`` methods. (Robert Collins)
6942
* Plugins are now loaded under bzrlib.plugins, not bzrlib.plugin, and
6943
they are made available for other plugins to use. You should not
6944
import other plugins during the ``__init__`` of your plugin though, as
6945
no ordering is guaranteed, and the plugins directory is not on the
6946
python path. (Robert Collins)
6948
* Branch.relpath has been moved to WorkingTree.relpath. WorkingTree no
6949
no longer takes an inventory, rather it takes an option branch
6950
parameter, and if None is given will open the branch at basedir
6951
implicitly. (Robert Collins)
6953
* Cleaner exception structure and error reporting. Suggested by
6954
Scott James Remnant. (Martin Pool)
6956
* Branch.remove has been moved to WorkingTree, which has also gained
6957
``lock_read``, ``lock_write`` and ``unlock`` methods for convenience.
6960
* Two decorators, ``needs_read_lock`` and ``needs_write_lock`` have been
6961
added to the branch module. Use these to cause a function to run in a
6962
read or write lock respectively. (Robert Collins)
6964
* ``Branch.open_containing`` now returns a tuple (Branch, relative-path),
6965
which allows direct access to the common case of 'get me this file
6966
from its branch'. (Robert Collins)
6968
* Transports can register using ``register_lazy_transport``, and they
6969
will be loaded when first used. (Martin Pool)
6971
* 'pull' has been factored out of the command as ``WorkingTree.pull()``.
6972
A new option to WorkingTree.pull has been added, clobber, which will
6973
ignore diverged history and pull anyway.
6976
* config.Config has a ``get_user_option`` call that accepts an option name.
6977
This will be looked up in branches.conf and bazaar.conf as normal.
6978
It is intended that this be used by plugins to support options -
6979
options of built in programs should have specific methods on the config.
6982
* ``merge.merge_inner`` now has tempdir as an optional parameter.
6985
* Tree.kind is not recorded at the top level of the hierarchy, as it was
6986
missing on EmptyTree, leading to a bug with merge on EmptyTrees.
6989
* ``WorkingTree.__del__`` has been removed, it was non deterministic and not
6990
doing what it was intended to. See ``WorkingTree.__init__`` for a comment
6991
about future directions. (Robert Collins/Martin Pool)
6993
* bzrlib.transport.http has been modified so that only 404 urllib errors
6994
are returned as NoSuchFile. Other exceptions will propogate as normal.
6995
This allows debuging of actual errors. (Robert Collins)
6997
* bzrlib.transport.Transport now accepts *ONLY* url escaped relative paths
6998
to apis like 'put', 'get' and 'has'. This is to provide consistent
6999
behaviour - it operates on url's only. (Robert Collins)
7001
* Transports can register using ``register_lazy_transport``, and they
7002
will be loaded when first used. (Martin Pool)
7004
* ``merge_flex`` no longer calls ``conflict_handler.finalize()``, instead that
7005
is called by ``merge_inner``. This is so that the conflict count can be
7006
retrieved (and potentially manipulated) before returning to the caller
7007
of ``merge_inner``. Likewise 'merge' now returns the conflict count to the
7008
caller. (Robert Collins)
7010
* ``revision.revision_graph`` can handle having only partial history for
7011
a revision - that is no revisions in the graph with no parents.
7014
* New ``builtins.branch_files`` uses the standard ``file_list`` rules to
7015
produce a branch and a list of paths, relative to that branch
7018
* New TestCase.addCleanup facility.
7020
* New ``bzrlib.version_info`` tuple (similar to ``sys.version_info``),
7021
which can be used by programs importing bzrlib.
7025
* Better handling of branches in directories with non-ascii names.
7026
(Joel Rosdahl, Panagiotis Papadakos)
7028
* Upgrades of trees with no commits will not fail due to accessing
7029
[-1] in the revision-history. (Andres Salomon)
7032
bzr 0.1.1 2005-10-12
7033
--------------------
7037
* Fix problem in pulling over http from machines that do not
7038
allow directories to be listed.
7040
* Avoid harmless warning about invalid hash cache after
7041
upgrading branch format.
7045
* Avoid some unnecessary http operations in branch and pull.
7053
* 'bzr branch' over http initially gives a very high estimate
7054
of completion time but it should fall as the first few
7055
revisions are pulled in. branch is still slow on
7056
high-latency connections.
7060
* bzr-man.py has been updated to work again. Contributed by
7063
* Locking is now done with fcntl.lockf which works with NFS
7064
file systems. Contributed by Harald Meland.
7066
* When a merge encounters a file that has been deleted on
7067
one side and modified on the other, the old contents are
7068
written out to foo.BASE and foo.SIDE, where SIDE is this
7069
or OTHER. Contributed by Aaron Bentley.
7071
* Export was choosing incorrect file paths for the content of
7072
the tarball, this has been fixed by Aaron Bentley.
7074
* Commit will no longer commit without a log message, an
7075
error is returned instead. Contributed by Jelmer Vernooij.
7077
* If you commit a specific file in a sub directory, any of its
7078
parent directories that are added but not listed will be
7079
automatically included. Suggested by Michael Ellerman.
7081
* bzr commit and upgrade did not correctly record new revisions
7082
for files with only a change to their executable status.
7083
bzr will correct this when it encounters it. Fixed by
7086
* HTTP tests now force off the use of ``http_proxy`` for the duration.
7087
Contributed by Gustavo Niemeyer.
7089
* Fix problems in merging weave-based branches that have
7090
different partial views of history.
7092
* Symlink support: working with symlinks when not in the root of a
7093
bzr tree was broken, patch from Scott James Remnant.
7097
* 'branch' now accepts a --basis parameter which will take advantage
7098
of local history when making a new branch. This allows faster
7099
branching of remote branches. Contributed by Aaron Bentley.
7101
* New tree format based on weave files, called version 5.
7102
Existing branches can be upgraded to this format using
7105
* Symlinks are now versionable. Initial patch by
7106
Erik Toubro Nielsen, updated to head by Robert Collins.
7108
* Executable bits are tracked on files. Patch from Gustavo
7111
* 'bzr status' now shows unknown files inside a selected directory.
7112
Patch from Heikki Paajanen.
7114
* Merge conflicts are recorded in .bzr. Two new commands 'conflicts'
7115
and 'resolve' have needed added, which list and remove those
7116
merge conflicts respectively. A conflicted tree cannot be committed
7117
in. Contributed by Aaron Bentley.
7119
* 'rm' is now an alias for 'remove'.
7121
* Stores now split out their content in a single byte prefixed hash,
7122
dropping the density of files per directory by 256. Contributed by
7125
* 'bzr diff -r branch:URL' will now perform a diff between two branches.
7126
Contributed by Robert Collins.
7128
* 'bzr log' with the default formatter will show merged revisions,
7129
indented to the right. Initial implementation contributed by Gustavo
7130
Niemeyer, made incremental by Robert Collins.
7135
* Test case failures have the exception printed after the log
7136
for your viewing pleasure.
7138
* InventoryEntry is now an abstract base class, use one of the
7139
concrete InventoryDirectory etc classes instead.
7141
* Branch raises an UnsupportedFormatError when it detects a
7142
bzr branch it cannot understand. This allows for precise
7143
handling of such circumstances.
7145
* Remove RevisionReference class; ``Revision.parent_ids`` is now simply a
7146
list of their ids and ``parent_sha1s`` is a list of their corresponding
7147
sha1s (for old branches only at the moment.)
7149
* New method-object style interface for Commit() and Fetch().
7151
* Renamed ``Branch.last_patch()`` to ``Branch.last_revision()``, since
7152
we call them revisions not patches.
7154
* Move ``copy_branch`` to ``bzrlib.clone.copy_branch``. The destination
7155
directory is created if it doesn't exist.
7157
* Inventories now identify the files which were present by
7158
giving the revision *of that file*.
7160
* Inventory and Revision XML contains a version identifier.
7161
This must be consistent with the overall branch version
7162
but allows for more flexibility in future upgrades.
7166
* Removed testsweet module so that tests can be run after
7167
bzr installed by 'bzr selftest'.
7169
* 'bzr selftest' command-line arguments can now be partial ids
7170
of tests to run, e.g. ``bzr selftest test_weave``
7173
bzr 0.0.9 2005-09-23
7174
--------------------
7178
* Fixed "branch -r" option.
7180
* Fix remote access to branches containing non-compressed history.
7183
* Better reliability of http server tests. (John Arbash-Meinel)
7185
* Merge graph maximum distance calculation fix. (Aaron Bentley)
7187
* Various minor bug in windows support have been fixed, largely in the
7188
test suite. Contributed by Alexander Belchenko.
7192
* Status now accepts a -r argument to give status between chosen
7193
revisions. Contributed by Heikki Paajanen.
7195
* Revision arguments no longer use +/-/= to control ranges, instead
7196
there is a 'before' namespace, which limits the successive namespace.
7197
For example '$ bzr log -r date:yesterday..before:date:today' will
7198
select everything from yesterday and before today. Contributed by
7201
* There is now a bzr.bat file created by distutils when building on
7202
Windows. Contributed by Alexander Belchenko.
7206
* Removed uuid() as it was unused.
7208
* Improved 'fetch' code for pulling revisions from one branch into
7209
another (used by pull, merged, etc.)
7212
bzr 0.0.8 2005-09-20
7213
--------------------
7217
* Adding a file whose parent directory is not versioned will
7218
implicitly add the parent, and so on up to the root. This means
7219
you should never need to explictly add a directory, they'll just
7220
get added when you add a file in the directory. Contributed by
7223
* Ignore ``.DS_Store`` (contains Mac metadata) by default.
7226
* If you set ``BZR_EDITOR`` in the environment, it is checked in
7227
preference to EDITOR and the config file for the interactive commit
7228
editing program. Related to this is a bugfix where a missing program
7229
set in EDITOR would cause editing to fail, now the fallback program
7230
for the operating system is still tried.
7232
* Files that are not directories/symlinks/regular files will no longer
7233
cause bzr to fail, it will just ignore them by default. You cannot add
7234
them to the tree though - they are not versionable.
7239
* Refactor xml packing/unpacking.
7243
* Fixed 'bzr mv' by Ollie Rutherfurd.
7245
* Fixed strange error when trying to access a nonexistent http
7248
* Make sure that the hashcache gets written out if it can't be
7254
* Various Windows fixes from Ollie Rutherfurd.
7256
* Quieten warnings about locking; patch from Matt Lavin.
7259
bzr-0.0.7 2005-09-02
7260
--------------------
7264
* ``bzr shell-complete`` command contributed by Clint Adams to
7265
help with intelligent shell completion.
7267
* New expert command ``bzr find-merge-base`` for debugging merges.
7272
* Much better merge support.
7274
* merge3 conflicts are now reported with markers like '<<<<<<<'
7275
(seven characters) which is the same as CVS and pleases things
7281
* ``bzr upgrade`` no longer fails when trying to fix trees that
7282
mention revisions that are not present.
7284
* Fixed bugs in listing plugins from ``bzr plugins``.
7286
* Fix case of $EDITOR containing options for the editor.
7288
* Fix log -r refusing to show the last revision.
7289
(Patch from Goffredo Baroncelli.)
7294
* ``bzr log --show-ids`` shows the revision ids of all parents.
7296
* Externally provided commands on your $BZRPATH no longer need
7297
to recognize --bzr-usage to work properly, and can just handle
7303
* Changed trace messages to go through the standard logging
7304
framework, so that they can more easily be redirected by
7309
bzr-0.0.6 2005-08-18
7310
--------------------
7314
* Python plugins, automatically loaded from the directories on
7315
``BZR_PLUGIN_PATH`` or ``~/.bzr.conf/plugins`` by default.
7317
* New 'bzr mkdir' command.
7319
* Commit mesage is fetched from an editor if not given on the
7320
command line; patch from Torsten Marek.
7322
* ``bzr log -m FOO`` displays commits whose message matches regexp
7325
* ``bzr add`` with no arguments adds everything under the current directory.
7327
* ``bzr mv`` does move or rename depending on its arguments, like
7330
* ``bzr missing`` command shows a summary of the differences
7331
between two trees. (Merged from John Arbash-Meinel.)
7333
* An email address for commits to a particular tree can be
7334
specified by putting it into .bzr/email within a branch. (Based
7335
on a patch from Heikki Paajanen.)
7340
* Faster working tree operations.
7345
* 3rd-party modules shipped with bzr are copied within the bzrlib
7346
python package, so that they can be installed by the setup
7347
script without clashing with anything already existing on the
7348
system. (Contributed by Gustavo Niemeyer.)
7350
* Moved plugins directory to bzrlib/, so that there's a standard
7351
plugin directory which is not only installed with bzr itself but
7352
is also available when using bzr from the development tree.
7353
``BZR_PLUGIN_PATH`` and ``DEFAULT_PLUGIN_PATH`` are then added to the
7354
standard plugins directory.
7356
* When exporting to a tarball with ``bzr export --format tgz``, put
7357
everything under a top directory rather than dumping it into the
7358
current directory. This can be overridden with the ``--root``
7359
option. Patch from William Dodé and John Meinel.
7361
* New ``bzr upgrade`` command to upgrade the format of a branch,
7362
replacing ``bzr check --update``.
7364
* Files within store directories are no longer marked readonly on
7367
* Changed ``bzr log`` output to a more compact form suggested by
7368
John A Meinel. Old format is available with the ``--long`` or
7369
``-l`` option, patched by William Dodé.
7371
* By default the commit command refuses to record a revision with
7372
no changes unless the ``--unchanged`` option is given.
7374
* The ``--no-plugins``, ``--profile`` and ``--builtin`` command
7375
line options must come before the command name because they
7376
affect what commands are available; all other options must come
7377
after the command name because their interpretation depends on
7380
* ``branch`` and ``clone`` added as aliases for ``branch``.
7382
* Default log format is back to the long format; the compact one
7383
is available with ``--short``.
7388
* Fix bugs in committing only selected files or within a subdirectory.
7391
bzr-0.0.5 2005-06-15
7392
---------------------
7396
* ``bzr`` with no command now shows help rather than giving an
7397
error. Suggested by Michael Ellerman.
7399
* ``bzr status`` output format changed, because svn-style output
7400
doesn't really match the model of bzr. Now files are grouped by
7401
status and can be shown with their IDs. ``bzr status --all``
7402
shows all versioned files and unknown files but not ignored files.
7404
* ``bzr log`` runs from most-recent to least-recent, the reverse
7405
of the previous order. The previous behaviour can be obtained
7406

now run using ``./testbzr``. Various structural improvements to
7485
* testbzr by default runs the version of bzr found in the same
7486
directory as the tests, or the one given as the first parameter.
7488
* testbzr also runs the internal tests, so the only command
7489

7528
---------------------
7532
* 'bzr diff' optionally takes a list of files to diff. Still a bit
7533
basic. Patch from QuantumG.
7535

7537
* New 'bzr log --verbose' shows a list of files changed in the
7538
changeset. Patch from Sebastian Cote.

7584
* Fix opening of ~/.bzr.log on Windows. Patch from Andrew
7587
* Some improvements in handling paths on Windows, based on a patch

7620
exception when comparing empty files. Reported by Erik Toubro

'deleted' lists files deleted in the current working tree.
7660
* Performance improvements.
7662

7664
* Ignore patterns like './config.h' now correctly match files in
7665
the root directory only.
