13
* By default, ``bzr status`` after a merge now shows just the pending
14
merge tip revisions. This improves the signal-to-noise ratio after
15
merging from trunk and completes much faster. To see all merged
16
revisions, use the new ``-v`` flag. (Ian Clatworthy)
22
* ``bzr init`` will now print a little less verbose output.
27
* Fix a problem with CIFS client/server lag on Windows colliding with
28
an invariant-per-process algorithm for generating AtomicFile names
29
(Adrian Wilkins, #304023)
31
* Many socket operations now handle EINTR by retrying the operation.
32
Previously EINTR was treated as an unrecoverable failure. There is
33
a new ``until_no_eintr`` helper function in ``bzrlib.osutils``.

bzr 1.11rc1 "Eyes up!" 2009-01-09
46
---------------------------------
48
This first monthly release of Bazaar for 2009 improves Bazaar's operation
49
in Windows, Mac OS X, and other situations where file names are matched
50
without regard to capitalization: Bazaar tries to match the case of an
51
existing file. This release of Bazaar also improves the efficiency of
52
Tortoise Windows Shell integration and lets it work on 64-bit platforms.
54
The UI through which Bazaar supports historic formats has been improved,
55
so 'bzr help formats' now gives a simpler and shorter list, with clear
58
This release also fixes a number of bugs, particularly a glitch that can
59
occur when there are concurrent writes to a pack repository.
63
* Formats using Knit-based repository formats are now explicitly
64
marked as deprecated. (Ian Clatworthy)
68
* Add support for `bzr tags -r 1..2`, that is we now support showing
69
tags applicable for a specified revision range. (Marius Kruger)
71
* ``authentication.conf`` now accepts pluggable read-only credential
72
stores. Such a plugin (``netrc_credential_store``) is now included,
73
handles the ``$HOME/.netrc`` file and can server as an example to
74
implement other plugins.
77
* ``shelve --list`` can now be used to list shelved changes.
82
* Add trailing slash to directories in all output of ``bzr ls``, except
83
``bzr ls --null``. (Gordon P. Hemsley, #306424)
85
* ``bzr revision-info`` now supports a -d option to specify an
86
alternative branch. (Michael Hudson)
88
* Add connection to a C++ implementation of the Windows Shell Extension
89
which is able to fully replace the current Python implemented one.
90
Advantages include 64bit support and reduction in overhead for
91
processes which drag in shell extensions.
94
* Support the Claws mail client directly, rather than via
95
xdg-email. This prevents the display of an unnecessary modal
96
dialog in Claws, informing the user that a file has been
97
attached to the message, and works around bug #291847 in
98
xdg-utils which corrupts the destination address.
100
* When working on a case-insensitive case-preserving file-system, as
101
commonly found with Windows, bzr will often ignore the case of the
102
arguments specified by the user in preference to the case of an existing
103
item on the file-system or in the inventory to help prevent
104
counter-intuitive behaviour on Windows. (Mark Hammond)
108
* Allow BzrDir implementation to implement backing up of
109
control directory. (#139691)
111
* ``bzr push`` creating a new stacked branch will now only open a
112
single connection to the target machine. (John Arbash Meinel)
114
* Don't call iteritems on transport_list_registry, because it may
115
change during iteration. (Martin Pool, #277048)
117
* Don't make a broken branch when pushing an unstackable-format branch
118
that's in a stackable shared repository to a location with default
119
stack-on location. (Andrew Bennetts, #291046)
121
* Don't require embedding user in HTTP(S) URLs do use authentication.conf.
122
(Ben Jansen, Vincent Ladeuil, #300347)
124
* Fix a problem with CIFS client/server lag on windows colliding with
125
an invariant-per-process algorithm for generating AtomicFile names
126
(Adrian Wilkins, #304023)
128
* Fix bogus setUp signature in UnavailableFTPServer.
129
(Gary van der Merwe, #313498)
131
* Fix compilation error in ``_dirstate_helpers_c`` on SunOS/Solaris.
134
* Fix SystemError in ``_patiencediff_c`` module by calling
135
PyErr_NoMemory() before returning NULL in PatienceSequenceMatcher_new.
136
(Andrew Bennetts, #303206)
138
* Give proper error message for diff with non-existent dotted revno.
139
(Marius Kruger, #301969)
141
* Handle EACCES (permission denied) errors when launching a message
142
editor, and emit warnings when a configured editor cannot be
143
started. (Andrew Bennetts)
145
* ``$HOME/.netrc`` file is now recognized as a read-only credential store
146
if configured in ``authentication.conf`` with 'password_encoding=netrc'
147
in the appropriate sections.
148
(Vincent Ladeuil, #103029)
150
* Opening a stacked branch now properly shares the connection, rather
151
than opening a new connection for the stacked-on branch.
154
* Preserve transport decorators while following redirections.
155
(Vincent Ladeuil, #245964, #270863)
157
* Provides a finer and more robust filter for accepted redirections.
158
(Vincent Ladeuil, #303959, #265070)
160
* ``shelve`` paths are now interpreted relative to the current working
161
tree. (Aaron Bentley)
163
* ``Transport.readv()`` defaults to not reading more than 100MB in a
164
single array. Further ``RemoteTransport.readv`` sets this to 5MB to
165
work better with how it splits its requests.
166
(John Arbash Meinel, #303538)
168
* Pack repositories are now able to reload the pack listing and retry
169
the current operation if another action causes the data to be
170
repacked. (John Arbash Meinel, #153786)
172
* ``pull -v`` now respects the log_format configuration variable.
175
* ``push -v`` now works on non-initial pushes. (Aaron Bentley)
177
* Use the short status format when the short format is used for log.
178
(Vincent Ladeuil, #87179)
180
* Allow files to be renamed or moved via remove + add-by-id. (Charles
185
* Improved the formats help topic to explain why multiple formats
186
exist and to provide guidelines in selecting one. Introduced
187
two new supporting help topics: current-formats and other-formats.
192
* ``LRUCache(after_cleanup_size)`` was renamed to
193
``after_cleanup_count`` and the old name deprecated. The new name is
194
used for clarity, and to avoid confusion with
195
``LRUSizeCache(after_cleanup_size)``. (John Arbash Meinel)
197
* New ``ForeignRepository`` base class, to help with foreign branch
198
support (e.g. svn). (Jelmer Vernooij)
200
* ``node_distances`` and ``select_farthest`` can no longer be imported
201
from ``bzrlib.graph``. They can still be imported from
202
``bzrlib.deprecated_graph``, which has been the preferred way to
203
import them since before 1.0. (Andrew Bennetts)
205
* The logic in commit now delegates inventory basis calculations to
206
the ``CommitBuilder`` object; this requires that the commit builder
207
in use has been updated to support the new ``recording_deletes`` and
208
``record_delete`` methods. (Robert Collins)
212
* An HTTPS server is now available (it requires python-2.6). Future bzr
213
versions will allow the use of the python-2.6 ssl module that can be
214
installed for 2.5 and 2.4.
216
* ``bzr selftest`` now fails if new trailing white space is added to
217
the bazaar sources. It only checks changes not committed yet. This
218
means that PQM will now reject changes that introduce new trailing
219
whitespace. (Marius Kruger)
221
* Introduced new experimental formats called ``1.12-preview`` and
222
``1.12-preview-rich-root`` to enable testing of related pending
223
features, namely content filtering and filtered views.
228
* Added an ``InventoryEntry`` cache when deserializing inventories.
229
Can cut the time to iterate over multiple RevisionsTrees in half.
232
* Added ``bzrlib.fifo_cache.FIFOCache`` which is designed to have
233
minimal overhead versus using a plain dict for cache hits, at the
234
cost of not preserving the 'active' set as well as an ``LRUCache``.
237
* ``bzrlib.patience_diff.unified_diff`` now properly uses a tab
238
character to separate the filename from the date stamp, and doesn't
239
add trailing whitespace when a date stamp is not supplied.
240
(Adeodato Simó, John Arbash Meinel)
242
* ``DirStateWorkingTree`` and ``DirStateWorkingTreeFormat`` added
243
as base classes of ``WorkingTree4`` and ``WorkingTreeFormat4``
244
respectively. (Ian Clatworthy)
246
* ``KnitVersionedFiles._check_should_delta()`` now uses the
247
``get_build_details`` api to avoid multiple hits to the index, and
248
to properly follow the ``compression_parent`` rather than assuming
249
it is the left-hand parent. (John Arbash Meinel)
251
* ``KnitVersionedFiles.get_record_stream()`` will now chose a
252
more optimal ordering when the keys are requested 'unordered'.
253
Previously the order was fully random, now the records should be
254
returned from each pack in turn, in forward I/O order.
257
* ``mutter()`` will now flush the ``~/.bzr.log`` if it has been more
258
than 2s since the last time it flushed. (John Arbash Meinel)
260
* New method ``bzrlib.repository.Repository.add_inventory_by_delta``
261
allows adding an inventory via an inventory delta, which can be
262
more efficient for some repository types. (Robert Collins)
264
* Repository ``CommitBuilder`` objects can now accumulate an inventory
265
delta. To enable this functionality call ``builder.recording_deletes``
266
and additionally call ``builder.record_delete`` when a delete
267
against the basis occurs. (Robert Collins)
269
* The default http handler has been changed from pycurl to urllib.
270
The default is still pycurl for https connections. (The only
271
advantage of pycurl is that it checks ssl certificates.)
274
* ``VersionedFiles.get_record_stream()`` can now return objects with a
275
storage_kind of ``chunked``. This is a collection (list/tuple) of
276
strings. You can use ``osutils.chunks_to_lines()`` to turn them into
277
guaranteed 'lines' or you can use ``''.join(chunks)`` to turn it
278
into a fulltext. This allows for some very good memory savings when
279
asking for many texts that share ancestry, as the individual chunks
280
can be shared between versions of the file. (John Arbash Meinel)
282
* ``pull -v`` and ``push -v`` use new function
283
``bzrlib.log.show_branch_change`` (Aaron Bentley)
290
Bazaar 1.10 has several performance improvements for copying revisions
291
(especially for small updates to large projects). There has also been a
292
significant amount of effort in polishing stacked branches. The commands
293
``shelve`` and ``unshelve`` have become core commands, with an improved
296
The only changes versus bzr-1.10rc1 are bugfixes for stacked branches.
300
* Don't set a pack write cache size from RepoFetcher, because the
301
cache is not coherent with reads and causes ShortReadvErrors.
302
This reverses the change that fixed #294479.
303
(Martin Pool, #303856)
305
* Properly handle when a revision can be inserted as a delta versus
306
when it needs to be expanded to a fulltext for stacked branches.
307
There was a bug involving merge revisions. As a method to help
308
prevent future difficulties, also make stacked fetches sort
309
topologically. (John Arbash Meinel, #304841)
312
bzr 1.10rc1 2008-11-28
313
----------------------
315
This release of Bazaar focuses on performance improvements when pushing
316
and pulling revisions, both locally and to remote networks. The popular
317
``shelve`` and ``unshelve`` commands, used to interactively revert and
318
restore work in progress, have been merged from bzrtools into the bzr
319
core. There are also bug fixes for portability, and for stacked branches.
323
* New ``commit_message_template`` hook that is called by the commit
324
code to generate a template commit message. (Jelmer Vernooij)
326
* New `shelve` and `unshelve` commands allow undoing and redoing changes.
331
* ``(Remote)Branch.copy_content_into`` no longer generates the full revision
332
history just to set the last revision info.
333
(Andrew Bennetts, John Arbash Meinel)
335
* Fetches between formats with different serializers (such as
336
pack-0.92-subtree and 1.9-rich-root) are faster now. This is due to
337
operating on batches of 100 revisions at time rather than
338
one-by-one. (Andrew Bennetts, John Arbash Meinel)
340
* Search index files corresponding to pack files we've already used
341
before searching others, because they are more likely to have the
342
keys we're looking for. This reduces the number of iix and tix
343
files accessed when pushing 1 new revision, for instance.
346
* Signatures to transfer are calculated more efficiently in
347
``item_keys_introduced_by``. (Andrew Bennetts, John Arbash Meinel)
349
* The generic fetch code can once again copy revisions and signatures
350
without extracting them completely to fulltexts and then serializing
351
them back down into byte strings. This is a significant performance
352
improvement when fetching from a stacked branch.
353
(John Arbash Meinel, #300289)
355
* When making a large readv() request over ``bzr+ssh``, break up the
356
request into more manageable chunks. Because the RPC is not yet able
357
to stream, this helps keep us from buffering too much information at
358
once. (John Arbash Meinel)
362
* Better message when the user needs to set their Launchpad ID.
363
(Martin Pool, #289148)
365
* ``bzr commit --local`` doesn't access the master branch anymore.
366
This fixes a regression introduced in 1.9. (Marius Kruger, #299313)
368
* Don't call the system ``chdir()`` with an empty path. Sun OS seems
369
to give an error in that case. Also, don't count on ``getcwd()``
370
being able to allocate a new buffer, which is a gnu extension.
371
(John Arbash Meinel, Martin Pool, Harry Hirsch, #297831)
373
* Don't crash when requesting log --forward <file> for a revision range
374
starting with a dotted revno.
375
(Vincent Ladeuil, #300055)
377
* Don't create text deltas spanning stacked repositories; this could
378
cause "Revision X not present in Y" when later accessing them.
379
(Martin Pool, #288751)
381
* Pack repositories are now able to reload the pack listing and retry
382
the current operation if another action causes the data to be
383
repacked. (John Arbash Meinel, #153786)
385
* PermissionDenied errors from smart servers no longer cause
386
"PermissionDenied: "None"" on the client.
387
(Andrew Bennetts, #299254)
389
* Pushing to a stacked pack repository now batches writes, the same
390
way writes are batched to ordinary pack repository. This makes
391
pushing to a stacked branch over the network much faster.
392
(Andrew Bennetts, #294479)
394
* TooManyConcurrentRequests no longer occur when a fetch fails and
395
tries to abort a write group. This allows the root cause (e.g. a
396
network interruption) to be reported. (Andrew Bennetts, #297014)
398
* RemoteRepository.get_parent_map now uses fallback repositories.
399
(Aaron Bentley, #297991?, #293679?)
403
* ``CommitBuilder`` now validates the strings it will be committing,
404
to ensure that they do not have characters that will not be properly
405
round-tripped. For now, it just checks for characters that are
406
invalid in the XML form. (John Arbash Meinel, #295161)
408
* Constructor parameters for NewPack (internal to pack repositories)
409
have changed incompatibly.
411
* ``Repository.abort_write_group`` now accepts an optional
412
``suppress_errors`` flag. Repository implementations that override
413
``abort_write_group`` will need to be updated to accept the new
414
argument. Subclasses that only override ``_abort_write_group``
415
don't need to change.
417
* Transport implementations must provide copy_tree_to_transport. A default
418
implementation is provided for Transport subclasses.
422
* ``bzr selftest`` now fails if no doctests are found in a module
423
that's expected to have them. (Martin Pool)
425
* Doctests now only report the first failure. (Martin Pool)
431
This release of Bazaar adds a new repository format, ``1.9``, with smaller
432
and more efficient index files. This format can be specified when
433
creating a new repository, or used to losslessly upgrade an existing
434
repository. bzr 1.9 also speeds most operations over the smart server
435
protocol, makes annotate faster, and uses less memory when making
436
checkouts or pulling large amounts of data.
440
* Fix "invalid property value 'branch-nick' for None" regression with
441
branches bound to svn branches. (Martin Pool, #293440)
443
* Fix SSL/https on Python2.6. (Vincent Ladeuil, #293054)
445
* ``SFTPTransport.readv()`` had a bug when requests were out-of-order.
446
This only triggers some-of-the-time on Knit format repositories.
447
(John Arbash Meinel, #293746)
450
bzr 1.9rc1 2008-10-31
451
---------------------
455
* New Branch hook ``transform_fallback_location`` allows a function to
456
be called when looking up the stacked source. (Michael Hudson)
458
* New repository formats ``1.9`` and ``1.9-rich-root``. These have all
459
the functionality of ``1.6``, but use the new btree indexes.
460
These indexes are both smaller and faster for access to historical
461
information. (John Arbash Meinel)
465
* ``BTreeIndex`` code now is able to prefetch extra pages to help tune
466
the tradeoff between bandwidth and latency. Should be tuned
467
appropriately to not impact commands which need minimal information,
468
but provide a significant boost to ones that need more context. Only
469
has a direct impact on the ``--development2`` format which uses
470
btree's for the indexes. (John Arbash Meinel)
472
* ``bzr dump-btree`` is a hidden command introduced to allow dumping
473
the contents of a compressed btree file. (John Arbash Meinel)
475
* ``bzr pack`` now tells the index builders to optimize for size. For
476
btree index repositories, this can save 25% of the index size
477
(mostly in the text indexes). (John Arbash Meinel)
479
* ``bzr push`` to an existing branch or repository on a smart server
480
is faster, due to Bazaar making more use of the ``get_parent_map``
481
RPC when querying the remote branch's revision graph.
484
* default username for bzr+ssh and sftp can be configured in
485
authentication.conf. (Aaron Bentley)
487
* launchpad-login now provides a default username for bzr+ssh and sftp
488
URLs, allowing username-free URLs to work for everyone. (Aaron Bentley)
490
* ``lp:`` lookups no longer include usernames, making them shareable and
491
shorter. (Aaron Bentley)
493
* New ``PackRepository.autopack`` smart server RPC, which does
494
autopacking entirely on the server. This is much faster than
495
autopacking via plain file methods, which downloads a large amount
496
of pack data and then re-uploads the same pack data into a single
497
file. This fixes a major (although infrequent) cause of lengthy
498
delays when using a smart server. For example, pushing the 10th
499
revision to a repository with 9 packs now takes 44 RPCs rather than
500
179, and much less bandwidth too. This requires Bazaar 1.9 on both
501
the client and the server, otherwise the client will fallback to the
502
slower method. (Andrew Bennetts)
506
* A failure to load a plugin due to an IncompatibleAPI exception is
507
now correctly reported. (Robert Collins, #279451)
509
* API versioning support now has a multiple-version checking api
510
``require_any_api``. (Robert Collins, #279447)
512
* ``bzr branch --stacked`` from a smart server to a standalone branch
513
works again. This fixes a regression in 1.7 and 1.8.
514
(Andrew Bennetts, #270397)
516
* ``bzr co`` uses less memory. It used to unpack the entire WT into
517
memory before writing it to disk. This was a little bit faster, but
518
consumed lots of memory. (John Arbash Meinel, #269456)
520
* ``bzr missing --quiet`` no longer prints messages about whether
521
there are missing revisions. The exit code indicates whether there
522
were or not. (Martin Pool, #284748)
524
* Fixes to the ``annotate`` code. The fast-path which re-used the
525
stored deltas was accidentally disabled all the time, instead of
526
only when a branch was stacked. Second, the code would accidentally
527
re-use a delta even if it wasn't against the left-parent, this
528
could only happen if ``bzr reconcile`` decided that the parent
529
ordering was incorrect in the file graph. (John Arbash Meinel)
531
* "Permission denied" errors that occur when pushing a new branch to a
532
smart server no longer cause tracebacks. (Andrew Bennetts, #278673)
534
* Some compatibility fixes for building the extensions with MSVC and
535
for python2.4. (John Arbash Meinel, #277484)
537
* The index logic is now able to reload the list of pack files if and
538
index ends up disappearing. We still don't reload if the pack data
539
itself goes missing after checking the index. This bug appears as a
540
transient failure (file not found) when another process is writing
541
to the repository. (John Arbash Meinel, #153786)
543
* ``bzr switch`` and ``bzr bind`` will now update the branch nickname if
544
it was previously set. All checkouts will now refer to the bound branch
545
for a nickname if one was not explicitly set.
546
(Marius Kruger, #230903)
550
* Improved hook documentation. (Michael Ernst)
554
* commands.plugins_cmds is now a CommandRegistry, not a dict.
558
* New AuthenticationConfig.set_credentials method allows easy programmatic
559
configuration of authetication credentials.
565
Bazaar 1.8 includes several fixes that improve working tree performance,
566
display of revision logs, and merges. The bzr testsuite now passes on OS
567
X and Python 2.6, and almost completely passes on Windows. The
568
smartserver code has gained several bug fixes and performance
569
improvements, and can now run server-side hooks within an http server.
573
* Fix "Must end write group" error when another error occurs during
574
``bzr push``. (Andrew Bennetts, #230902)
578
* Some Pyrex versions require the WIN32 macro defined to compile on
579
that platform. (Alexander Belchenko, Martin Pool, #277481)
582
bzr 1.8rc1 2008-10-07
583
---------------------
587
* ``bzr log file`` has been changed. It now uses a different method
588
for determining which revisions to show as merging the changes to
589
the file. It now only shows revisions which merged the change
590
towards your mainline. This simplifies the output, makes it faster,
591
and reduces memory consumption. (John Arbash Meinel)
593
* ``bzr merge`` now defaults to having ``--reprocess`` set, whenever
594
``--show-base`` is not supplied. (John Arbash Meinel)
596
* ``bzr+http//`` will now optionally load plugins and write logs on the
597
server. (Marius Kruger)
599
* ``bzrlib._dirstate_helpers_c.pyx`` does not compile correctly with
600
Pyrex 0.9.4.1 (it generates C code which causes segfaults). We
601
explicitly blacklist that version of the compiler for that
602
extension. Packaged versions will include .c files created with
603
pyrex >= 0.9.6 so it doesn't effect releases, only users running
604
from the source tree. (John Arbash Meinel, #276868)
608
* bzr is now compatible with python-2.6. python-2.6 is not yet officially
609
supported (nor released, tests were conducted with the dev version of
610
python-2.6rc2), but all known problems have been fixed. Feedback
612
(Vincent Ladeuil, #269535)
616
* ``bzr annotate`` will now include uncommitted changes from the local
617
working tree by default. Such uncommitted changes are given the
618
revision number they would get if a commit was done, followed with a
619
? to indicate that its not actually known. (Robert Collins, #3439)
621
* ``bzr branch`` now accepts a ``--standalone`` option, which creates a
622
standalone branch regardless of the presence of shared repositories.
625
* ``bzr push`` is faster in the case there are no new revisions to
626
push. It is also faster if there are no tags in the local branch.
629
* File changes during a commit will update the tree stat cache.
632
* Location aliases can now accept a trailing path. (Micheal Hudson)
634
* New hooks ``Lock.hooks`` when LockDirs are acquired and released.
635
(Robert Collins, MartinPool)
637
* Switching in heavyweight checkouts uses the master branch's context, not
638
the checkout's context. (Adrian Wilkins)
640
* ``status`` on large trees is now faster, due to optimisations in the
641
walkdirs code. Of particular note, the walkdirs code now performs
642
a temporary ``chdir()`` while reading a single directory; if your
643
platform has non thread-local current working directories (and is
644
not windows which has its own implementation), this may introduce a
645
race condition during concurrent uses of bzrlib. The bzrlib CLI
646
will not encounter this as it is single threaded for working tree
647
operations. (Robert Collins)
649
* The C extensions now build on python 2.4 (Robert Collins, #271939)
651
* The ``-Dhpss`` debug flag now reports the number of smart server
652
calls per medium to stderr. This is in addition to the existing
653
detailed logging to the .bzr.log trace file. (Andrew Bennetts)
657
* Avoid random failures arising from misinterpreted ``errno`` values
658
in ``_readdir_pyx.read_dir``.
659
(Martin Pool, #279381)
661
* Branching from a shared repository on a smart server into a new
662
repository now preserves the repository format.
663
(Andrew Bennetts, #269214)
665
* ``bzr log`` now accepts a ``--change`` option.
666
(Vincent Ladeuil, #248427)
668
* ``bzr missing`` now accepts an ``--include-merges`` option.
669
(Vincent Ladeuil, #233817)
671
* Don't try to filter (internally) '.bzr' from the files to be deleted if
673
(Vincent Ladeuil, #272648)
675
* Fix '_in_buffer' AttributeError when using the -Dhpss debug flag.
678
* Fix TooManyConcurrentRequests errors caused by a connection failure
679
when doing ``bzr pull`` or ``bzr merge`` from a ``bzr+ssh`` URL.
680
(Andrew Bennetts, #246233)
682
* Fixed ``bzr st -r branch:PATH_TO_BRANCH`` where the other branch
683
is in a different repository than the current one.
684
(Lukáš Lalinský, #144421)
686
* Make the first line of the manpage preamble a comment again.
687
(David Futcher, #242106)
689
* Remove use of optional parameter in GSSAPI FTP support, since
690
it breaks newer versions of Python-Kerberos. (Jelmer Vernooij)
692
* The autopacking logic will now always create a single new pack from
693
all of the content which it deems is worth moving. This avoids the
694
'repack a single pack' bug and should result in better packing
695
overall. (John Arbash Meinel, #242510, #172644)
697
* Trivial documentation fix.
698
(John Arbash Meinel, #270471)
700
* ``bzr switch`` and ``bzr bind`` will now update the branch nickname if
701
it was previously set. All checkouts will now refer to the bound branch
702
for a nickname if one was not explicitly set.
703
(Marius Kruger, #230903)
707
* Explain revision/range identifiers. (Daniel Clemente)
711
* ``CommitBuilder.record_entry_contents`` returns one more element in
712
its result tuple - an optional file system hash for the hash cache
713
to use. (Robert Collins)
715
* ``dirstate.DirState.update_entry`` will now only calculate the sha1
716
of a file if it is likely to be needed in determining the output
717
of iter_changes. (Robert Collins)
719
* The PackRepository, RepositoryPackCollection, NewPack classes have a
720
slightly changed interface to support different index types; as a
721
result other users of these classes need to supply the index types
722
they want. (Robert Collins)
726
* ``bzrlib.tests.repository_implementations`` has been renamed to
727
``bzrlib.tests.per_repository`` so that we have a common structure
728
(and it is shorter). (John Arbash Meinel, #239343)
730
* ``LocalTransport.abspath()`` now returns a drive letter if the
731
transport has one, fixing numerous tests on Windows.
734
* PreviewTree is now tested via intertree_implementations.
737
* The full test suite is passing again on OSX.
738
(Guillermo Gonzalez, Vincent Ladeuil)
740
* The full test suite passes when run with ``-Eallow_debug``.
745
* A new hook, ``Branch.open``, has been added, which is called when
746
branch objects are opened. (Robert Collins)
748
* ``bzrlib.osutils._walkdirs_utf8`` has been refactored into common
749
tree walking, and modular directory listing code to aid future
750
performance optimisations and refactoring. (Robert Collins)
752
* ``bzrlib.trace.debug_memory`` can be used to get a quick memory dump
753
in the middle of processing. It only reports memory if
754
``/proc/PID/status`` is available. (John Arbash Meinel)
756
* New method ``RevisionSpec.as_tree`` for representing the revision
757
specifier as a revision tree object. (Lukáš Lalinský)
759
* New race-free method on MutableTree ``get_file_with_stat`` for use
760
when generating stat cache results. (Robert Collins)
762
* New win32utils.get_local_appdata_location() provides access to a local
763
directory for storing data. (Mark Hammond)
765
* To be compatible with python-2.6 a few new rules should be
766
observed. 'message' attribute can't be used anymore in exception
767
classes, 'sha' and 'md5' modules have been deprecated (use
768
osutils.[md5|sha]), object__init__ and object.__new__ don't accept
776
No changes from 1.7.1rc1.
779
bzr 1.7.1rc1 2008-09-24
780
-----------------------
782
This release just includes an update to how the merge algorithm handles
783
file paths when we encounter complex history.
787
* If we encounter a criss-cross in history, use information from
788
direct Least Common Ancestors to resolve inventory shape (locations
789
of files, adds, deletes, etc). This is similar in concept to using
790
``--lca`` for merging file texts, only applied to paths.
797
This release includes many bug fixes and a few performance and feature
798
improvements. ``bzr rm`` will now scan for missing files and remove them,
799
like how ``bzr add`` scans for unknown files and adds them. A bit more
800
polish has been applied to the stacking code. The b-tree indexing code has
801
been brought in, with an eye on using it in a future repository format.
802
There are only minor installer changes since bzr-1.7rc2.
806
* Some small updates to the win32 installer. Include localization
807
files found in plugins, and include the builtin distutils as part of
808
packaging qbzr. (Mark Hammond)
811
bzr 1.7rc2 2008-09-17
812
---------------------
814
A few bug fixes from 1.7rc1. The biggest change is a new
815
``RemoteBranch.get_stacked_on_url`` rpc. This allows clients that are
816
trying to access a Stacked branch over the smart protocol, to properly
817
connect to the stacked-on location.
821
* Branching from a shared repository on a smart server into a new
822
repository now preserves the repository format.
823
(Andrew Bennetts, #269214)
825
* Branching from a stacked branch via ``bzr+ssh`` can properly connect
826
to the stacked-on branch. (Martin Pool, #261315)
828
* ``bzr init`` no longer re-opens the BzrDir multiple times.
831
* Fix '_in_buffer' AttributeError when using the -Dhpss debug flag.
835
bzr 1.7rc1 2008-09-09
836
---------------------
838
This release candidate for bzr 1.7 has several bug fixes and a few
839
performance and feature improvements. ``bzr rm`` will now scan for
840
missing files and remove them, like how ``bzr add`` scans for unknown
841
files and adds them. A bit more polish has been applied to the stacking
842
code. The b-tree indexing code has been brought in, with an eye on using
843
it in a future repository format.
848
* ``bzr export`` can now export a subdirectory of a project.
851
* ``bzr remove-tree`` will now refuse to remove a tree with uncommitted
852
changes, unless the ``--force`` option is specified.
853
(Lukáš Lalinský, #74101)
855
* ``bzr rm`` will now scan for files that are missing and remove just
856
them automatically, much as ``bzr add`` scans for new files that
857
are not ignored and adds them automatically. (Robert Collins)
861
* Support for GSSAPI authentication when using FTP as documented in
862
RFC2228. (Jelmer Vernooij, #49623)
864
* Add support for IPv6 in the smart server. (Jelmer Vernooij, #165014)
868
* A url like ``log+file:///tmp`` will log all access to that Transport
869
to ``.bzr.log``, which may help in debugging or profiling.
872
* ``bzr branch`` and ``bzr push`` use the default stacking policy if the
873
branch format supports it. (Aaron Bentley)
875
* ``bzr init`` and ``bzr init-repo`` will now print out the same as
876
``bzr info`` if it completed successfully.
879
* ``bzr uncommit`` logs the old tip revision id, and displays how to
880
restore the branch to that tip using ``bzr pull``. This allows you
881
to recover if you realize you uncommitted the wrong thing.
884
* Fix problems in accessing stacked repositories over ``bzr://``.
885
(Martin Pool, #261315)
887
* ``SFTPTransport.readv()`` was accidentally using ``list += string``,
888
which 'works', but adds each character separately to the list,
889
rather than using ``list.append(string)``. Fixing this makes the
890
SFTP transport a little bit faster (~20%) and use a bit less memory.
893
* When reading index files, if we happen to read the whole file in a
894
single request treat it as a ``_buffer_all`` request. This happens
895
most often on small indexes over remote transports, where we default
896
to reading 64kB. It saves a round trip for each small index during
897
fetch operations. Also, if we have read more than 50% of an index
898
file, trigger a ``_buffer_all`` on the next request. This works
899
around some inefficiencies because reads don't fall neatly on page
900
boundaries, so we would ignore those bytes, but request them again
901
later. This could trigger a total read size of more than the whole
902
file. (John Arbash Meinel)
906
* ``bzr rm`` is now aliased to ``bzr del`` for the convenience of svn
907
users. (Robert Collins, #205416)
909
* Catch the infamous "select/poll returned error" which occurs when
910
pycurl try to send a body request to an HTTP/1.0 server which has
911
already refused to handle the request. (Vincent Ladeuil, #225020)
913
* Fix ``ObjectNotLocked`` errors when using various commands
914
(including ``bzr cat`` and ``bzr annotate``) in combination with a
915
smart server URL. (Andrew Bennetts, #237067)
917
* ``FTPTransport.stat()`` would return ``0000`` as the permission bits
918
for the containing ``.bzr/`` directory (it does not implement
919
permissions). This would cause us to set all subdirectories to
920
``0700`` and files to ``0600`` rather than leaving them unmodified.
921
Now we ignore ``0000`` as the permissions and assume they are
922
invalid. (John Arbash Meinel, #259855)
924
* Merging from a previously joined branch will no longer cause
925
a traceback. (Jelmer Vernooij, #203376)
927
* Pack operations on windows network shares will work even with large
928
files. (Robert Collins, #255656)
930
* Running ``bzr st PATH_TO_TREE`` will no longer suppress merge
931
status. Status is also about 7% faster on mozilla sized trees
932
when the path to the root of the tree has been given. Users of
933
the internal ``show_tree_status`` function should be aware that
934
the show_pending flag is now authoritative for showing pending
935
merges, as it was originally. (Robert Collins, #225204)
937
* Set valid default _param_name for Option so that ListOption can embed
938
'-' in names. (Vincent Ladeuil, #263249)
940
* Show proper error rather than traceback when an unknown revision
941
id is specified to ``bzr cat-revision``. (Jelmer Vernooij, #175569)
943
* Trailing text in the dirstate file could cause the C dirstate parser
944
to try to allocate an invalid amount of memory. We now properly
945
check and test for parsing a dirstate with invalid trailing data.
946
(John Arbash Meinel, #186014)
948
* Unexpected error responses from a smart server no longer cause the
949
client to traceback. (Andrew Bennetts, #263527)
951
* Use a Windows api function to get a Unicode host name, rather than
952
assuming the host name is ascii.
953
(Mark Hammond, John Arbash Meinel, #256550)
955
* ``WorkingTree4`` trees will now correctly report missing-and-new
956
paths in the output of ``iter_changes``. (Robert Collins)
960
* Updated developer documentation. (Martin Pool)
964
* Exporters now take 4 parameters. (Robert Collins)
966
* ``Tree.iter_changes`` will now return False for the content change
967
field when a file is missing in the basis tree and not present in
968
the target tree. Previously it returned True unconditionally.
971
* The deprecated ``Branch.abspath`` and unimplemented
972
``Branch.rename_one`` and ``Branch.move`` were removed. (Jelmer Vernooij)
974
* BzrDir.clone_on_transport implementations must now accept a stacked_on
975
parameter. (Aaron Bentley)
977
* BzrDir.cloning_metadir implementations must now take a require_stacking
978
parameter. (Aaron Bentley)
982
* ``addCleanup`` now takes ``*arguments`` and ``**keyword_arguments``
983
which are then passed to the cleanup callable as it is run. In
984
addition, addCleanup no longer requires that the callables passed to
985
it be unique. (Jonathan Lange)
987
* Fix some tests that fail on Windows because files are deleted while
991
* ``selftest``'s ``--starting-with`` option can now use predefined
992
prefixes so that one can say ``bzr selftest -s bp.loom`` instead of
993
``bzr selftest -s bzrlib.plugins.loom``. (Vincent Ladeuil)
995
* ``selftest``'s ``--starting-with`` option now accepts multiple values.
1000
* A new plugin interface, ``bzrlib.log.log_adapters``, has been added.
1001
This allows dynamic log output filtering by plugins.
1004
* ``bzrlib.btree_index`` is now available, providing a b-tree index
1005
layer. The design is memory conservative (limited memory cache),
1006
faster to seek (approx 100 nodes per page, gives 100-way fan out),
1007
and stores compressed pages allowing more keys per page.
1008
(Robert Collins, John Arbash Meinel)
1010
* ``bzrlib.diff.DiffTree.show_diff`` now skips changes where the kind
1011
is unknown in both source and target.
1012
(Robert Collins, Aaron Bentley)
1014
* ``GraphIndexBuilder.add_node`` and ``BTreeBuilder`` have been
1015
streamlined a bit. This should make creating large indexes faster.
1016
(In benchmarking, it now takes less time to create a BTree index than
1017
it takes to read the GraphIndex one.) (John Arbash Meinel)
1019
* Mail clients for `bzr send` are now listed in a registry. This
1020
allows plugins to add new clients by registering them with
1021
``bzrlib.mail_client.mail_client_registry``. All of the built-in
1022
clients now use this mechanism. (Neil Martinsen-Burrell)
1025
bzr 1.6.1 2008-09-05
1026
--------------------
1028
A couple regressions were found in the 1.6 release. There was a
1029
performance issue when using ``bzr+ssh`` to branch large repositories,
1030
and some problems with stacking and ``rich-root`` capable repositories.
1033
bzr 1.6.1rc2 2008-09-03
1034
-----------------------
1038
* Copying between ``rich-root`` and ``rich-root-pack`` (and vice
1039
versa) was accidentally using the inter-model fetcher, instead of
1040
recognizing that both were 'rich root' formats.
1041
(John Arbash Meinel, #264321)
1044
bzr 1.6.1rc1 2008-08-29
1045
-----------------------
1047
This release fixes a few regressions found in the 1.6 client. Fetching
1048
changes was using an O(N^2) buffering algorithm, so for large projects it
1049
would cause memory thrashing. There is also a specific problem with the
1050
``--1.6-rich-root`` format, which prevented stacking on top of
1051
``--rich-root-pack`` repositories, and could allow users to accidentally
1052
fetch experimental data (``-subtree``) without representing it properly.
1053
The ``--1.6-rich-root`` format has been deprecated and users are
1054
recommended to upgrade to ``--1.6.1-rich-root`` immediately. Also we
1055
re-introduced a workaround for users who have repositories with incorrect
1056
nodes (not possible if you only used official releases).
1057
I should also clarify that none of this is data loss level issues, but
1058
still sufficient enough to warrant an updated release.
1062
* ``RemoteTransport.readv()`` was being inefficient about how it
1063
buffered the readv data and processed it. It would keep appending to
1064
the same string (causing many copies) and then pop bytes out of the
1065
start of the string (causing more copies).
1066
With this patch "bzr+ssh://local" can improve dramatically,
1067
especially for projects with large files.
1068
(John Arbash Meinel)
1070
* Revision texts were always meant to be stored as fulltexts. There
1071
was a bug in a bzr.dev version that would accidentally create deltas
1072
when copying from a Pack repo to a Knit repo. This has been fixed,
1073
but to support those repositories, we know always request full texts
1074
for Revision texts. (John Arbash Meinel, #261339)
1076
* The previous ``--1.6-rich-root`` format used an incorrect xml
1077
serializer, which would accidentally support fetching from a
1078
repository that supported subtrees, even though the local one would
1079
not. We deprecated that format, and introduced a new one that uses
1080
the correct serializer ``--1.6.1-rich-root``.
1081
(John Arbash Meinel, #262333)
1087
Finally, the long awaited bzr 1.6 has been released. This release includes
1088
new features like Stacked Branches, improved weave merge, and an updated
1089
server protocol (now on v3) which will allow for better cross version
1090
compatibility. With this release we have deprecated Knit format
1091
repositories, and recommend that users upgrade them, we will continue to
1092
support reading and writing them for the forseeable future, but we will
1093
not be tuning them for performance as pack repositories have proven to be
1094
better at scaling. This will also be the first release to bundle
1095
TortoiseBzr in the standalone Windows installer.
1098
bzr 1.6rc5 2008-08-19
1099
---------------------
1103
* Disable automatic detection of stacking based on a containing
1104
directory of the target. It interacted badly with push, and needs a
1105
bit more work to get the edges polished before it should happen
1106
automatically. (John Arbash Meinel, #259275)
1107
(This change was reverted when merged to bzr.dev)
1110
bzr 1.6rc4 2008-08-18
1111
---------------------
1115
* Fix a regression in knit => pack fetching. We had a logic
1116
inversion, causing the fetch to insert fulltexts in random order,
1117
rather than preserving deltas. (John Arbash Meinel, #256757)
1120
bzr 1.6rc3 2008-08-14
1121
---------------------
1125
* Disable reading ``.bzrrules`` as a per-branch rule preferences
1126
file. The feature was not quite ready for a full release.
1131
* Update the windows installer to bundle TortoiseBzr and ``qbzr``
1132
into the standalone installer. This will be the first official
1133
windows release that installs Tortoise by default.
1138
* Fix a regression in ``bzr+http`` support. There was a missing
1139
function (``_read_line``) that needed to be carried over from
1140
``bzr+ssh`` support. (Andrew Bennetts)
1142
* ``GraphIndex`` objects will internally read an entire index if more
1143
than 1/20th of their keyspace is requested in a single operation.
1144
This largely mitigates a performance regression in ``bzr log FILE``
1145
and completely corrects the performance regression in ``bzr log``.
1146
The regression was caused by removing an accomodation which had been
1147
supporting the index format in use. A newer index format is in
1148
development which is substantially faster. (Robert Collins)
1151
bzr 1.6rc2 2008-08-13
1152
---------------------
1154
This release candidate has a few minor bug fixes, and some regression
1159
* ``bzr upgrade`` on remote branches accessed via bzr:// and
1160
bzr+ssh:// now works. (Andrew Bennetts)
1162
* Change the ``get_format_description()`` strings for
1163
``RepositoryFormatKnitPack5`` et al to be single line messages.
1166
* Fix for a regression on Win32 where we would try to call
1167
``os.listdir()`` on a file and not catch the exception properly.
1168
(Windows raises a different exception.) This would manifest in
1169
places like ``bzr rm file`` or ``bzr switch``.
1170
(Mark Hammond, John Arbash Meinel)
1172
* ``Inventory.copy()`` was failing to set the revision property for
1173
the root entry. (Jelmer Vernooij)
1175
* sftp transport: added missing ``FileExists`` case to
1176
``_translate_io_exception`` (Christophe Troestler, #123475)
1178
* The help for ``bzr ignored`` now suggests ``bzr ls --ignored`` for
1179
scripting use. (Robert Collins, #3834)
1181
* The default ``annotate`` logic will now always assign the
1182
last-modified value of a line to one of the revisions that modified
1183
it, rather than a merge revision. This would happen when both sides
1184
claimed to have modified the line resulting in the same text. The
1185
choice is arbitrary but stable, so merges in different directions
1186
will get the same results. (John Arbash Meinel, #232188)
1189
bzr 1.6rc1 2008-08-06
1190
---------------------
1192
This release candidate for bzr 1.6 solidifies the new branch stacking
1193
feature. Bazaar now recommends that users upgrade all knit repositories,
1194
because later formats are much faster. However, we plan to continue read/write and
1195
upgrade support for knit repostories for the forseeable future. Several
1196
other bugs and performance issues were fixed.
1200
* Knit format repositories are deprecated and bzr will now emit
1201
warnings whenever it encounters one. Use ``bzr upgrade`` to upgrade
1202
knit repositories to pack format. (Andrew Bennetts)
1206
* ``bzr check`` can now be told which elements at a location it should
1207
check. (Daniel Watkins)
1209
* Commit now supports ``--exclude`` (or ``-x``) to exclude some files
1210
from the commit. (Robert Collins, #3117)
1212
* Fetching data between repositories that have the same model but no
1213
optimised fetcher will not reserialise all the revisions, increasing
1214
performance. (Robert Collins, John Arbash Meinel)
1216
* Give a more specific error when target branch is not reachable.
1219
* Implemented a custom ``walkdirs_utf8`` implementation for win32.
1220
This uses a pyrex extension to get direct access to the
1221
``FindFirstFileW`` style apis, rather than using ``listdir`` +
1222
``lstat``. Shows a very strong improvement in commands like
1223
``status`` and ``diff`` which have to iterate the working tree.
1224
Anywhere from 2x-6x faster depending on the size of the tree (bigger
1225
trees, bigger benefit.) (John Arbash Meinel)
1227
* New registry for log properties handles and the method in
1228
LongLogFormatter to display the custom properties returned by the
1229
registered handlers. (Guillermo Gonzalez, #162469)
1233
* Add more tests that stacking does not create deltas spanning
1234
physical repository boundaries.
1235
(Martin Pool, #252428)
1237
* Better message about incompatible repositories.
1238
(Martin Pool, #206258)
1240
* ``bzr branch --stacked`` ensures the destination branch format can
1241
support stacking, even if the origin does not.
1244
* ``bzr export`` no longer exports ``.bzrrules``.
1247
* ``bzr serve --directory=/`` now correctly allows the whole
1248
filesystem to be accessed on Windows, not just the root of the drive
1249
that Python is running from.
1250
(Adrian Wilkins, #240910)
1252
* Deleting directories by hand before running ``bzr rm`` will not
1253
cause subsequent errors in ``bzr st`` and ``bzr commit``.
1254
(Robert Collins, #150438)
1256
* Fix a test case that was failing if encoding wasn't UTF-8.
1257
(John Arbash Meinel, #247585)
1259
* Fix "no buffer space available" error when branching with the new
1260
smart server protocol to or from Windows.
1261
(Andrew Bennetts, #246180)
1263
* Fixed problem in branching from smart server.
1264
(#249256, Michael Hudson, Martin Pool)
1266
* Handle a file turning in to a directory in TreeTransform.
1267
(James Westby, #248448)
1271
* ``MutableTree.commit`` has an extra optional keywork parameter
1272
``exclude`` that will be unconditionally supplied by the command
1273
line UI - plugins that add tree formats may need an update.
1276
* The API minimum version for plugin compatibility has been raised to
1277
1.6 - there are significant changes throughout the code base.
1280
* The generic fetch code now uses three attributes on Repository objects
1281
to control fetch. The streams requested are controlled via :
1282
``_fetch_order`` and ``_fetch_uses_deltas``. Setting these
1283
appropriately allows different repository implementations to recieve
1284
data in their optimial form. If the ``_fetch_reconcile`` is set then
1285
a reconcile operation is triggered at the end of the fetch.
1288
* The ``put_on_disk`` and ``get_tar_item`` methods in
1289
``InventoryEntry`` were deprecated. (Ian Clatworthy)
1291
* ``Repository.is_shared`` doesn't take a read lock. It didn't
1292
need one in the first place (nobody cached the value, and
1293
``RemoteRepository`` wasn't taking one either). This saves a round
1294
trip when probing Pack repositories, as they read the ``pack-names``
1295
file when locked. And during probe, locking the repo isn't very
1296
useful. (John Arbash Meinel)
1300
* ``bzrlib.branchbuilder.BranchBuilder`` is now much more capable of
1301
putting together a real history without having to create a full
1302
WorkingTree. It is recommended that tests that are not directly
1303
testing the WorkingTree use BranchBuilder instead. See
1304
``BranchBuilder.build_snapshot`` or
1305
``TestCaseWithMemoryTree.make_branch_builder``. (John Arbash Meinel)
1307
* ``bzrlib.builtins.internal_tree_files`` broken into two giving a new
1308
helper ``safe_relpath_files`` - used by the new ``exclude``
1309
parameter to commit. (Robert Collins)
1311
* Make it easier to introduce new WorkingTree formats.
1314
* The code for exporting trees was refactored not to use the
1315
deprecated ``InventoryEntry`` methods. (Ian Clatworthy)
1317
* RuleSearchers return () instead of [] now when there are no matches.
1321
bzr 1.6beta3 2008-07-17
1322
-----------------------
1324
This release adds a new 'stacked branches' feature allowing branches to
1325
share storage without being in the same repository or on the same machine.
1326
(See the user guide for more details.) It also adds a new hook, improved
1327
weaves, aliases for related locations, faster bzr+ssh push, and several
1332
* New ``pre_change_branch_tip`` hook that is called before the
1333
branch tip is moved, while the branch is write-locked. See the User
1334
Reference for signature details. (Andrew Bennetts)
1336
* Rule-based preferences can now be defined for selected files in
1337
selected branches, allowing commands and plugins to provide
1338
custom behaviour for files matching defined patterns.
1339
See ``Rule-based preferences`` (part of ``Configuring Bazaar``)
1340
in the User Guide and ``bzr help rules`` for more information.
1343
* Sites may suggest a branch to stack new branches on. (Aaron Bentley)
1345
* Stacked branches are now supported. See ``bzr help branch`` and
1346
``bzr help push``. Branches must be in the ``development1`` format
1347
to stack, though the stacked-on branch can be of any format.
1352
* ``bzr export --format=tgz --root=NAME -`` to export a gzipped tarball
1353
to stdout; also ``tar`` and ``tbz2``.
1356
* ``bzr (re)merge --weave`` will now use a standard Weave algorithm,
1357
rather than the annotation-based merge it was using. It does so by
1358
building up a Weave of the important texts, without needing to build
1359
the full ancestry. (John Arbash Meinel, #238895)
1361
* ``bzr send`` documents and better supports ``emacsclient`` (proper
1362
escaping of mail headers and handling of the MUA Mew).
1363
(Christophe Troestler)
1365
* Remembered locations can be specified by aliases, e.g. :parent, :public,
1366
:submit. (Aaron Bentley)
1368
* The smart protocol now has improved support for setting branches'
1369
revision info directly. This makes operations like push
1370
faster. The new request method name is
1371
``Branch.set_last_revision_ex``. (Andrew Bennetts)
1375
* Bazaar is now able to be a client to the web server of IIS 6 and 7.
1376
The broken implementations of RFC822 in Python and RFC2046 in IIS
1377
combined with boundary-line checking in Bazaar previously made this
1378
impossible. (NB, IIS 5 does not suffer from this problem).
1379
(Adrian Wilkins, #247585)
1381
* ``bzr log --long`` with a ghost in your mainline now handles that
1382
ghost properly. (John Arbash Meinel, #243536)
1384
* ``check`` handles the split-up .bzr layout correctly, so no longer
1385
requires a branch to be present.
1386
(Daniel Watkins, #64783)
1388
* Clearer message about how to set the PYTHONPATH if bzrlib can't be
1390
(Martin Pool, #205230)
1392
* Errors about missing libraries are now shown without a traceback,
1393
and with a suggestion to install the library. The full traceback is
1394
still in ``.bzr.log`` and can be shown with ``-Derror``.
1395
(Martin Pool, #240161)
1397
* Fetch from a stacked branch copies all required data.
1398
(Aaron Bentley, #248506)
1400
* Handle urls such as ftp://user@host.com@www.host.com where the user
1402
(Neil Martinsen-Burrell, #228058)
1404
* ``needs_read_lock`` and ``needs_write_lock`` now suppress an error during
1405
``unlock`` if there was an error in the original function. This helps
1406
most when there is a failure with a smart server action, since often the
1407
connection closes and we cannot unlock.
1408
(Andrew Bennetts, John Arbash Meinel, #125784)
1410
* Obsolete hidden command ``bzr fetch`` removed.
1411
(Martin Pool, #172870)
1413
* Raise the correct exception when doing ``-rbefore:0`` or ``-c0``.
1414
(John Arbash Meinel, #239933)
1416
* You can now compare file revisions in Windows diff programs from
1418
(Matt McClure, #209281)
1420
* revision_history now tolerates mainline ghosts for Branch format 6.
1421
(Aaron Bentley, #235055)
1423
* Set locale from environment for third party libs.
1424
(Martin von Gagern, #128496)
1428
* Added *Using stacked branches* to the User Guide.
1431
* Updated developer documentation.
1436
* ``-Dmemory`` will cause /proc/PID/status to be catted before bzr
1437
exits, allowing low-key analysis of peak memory use. (Robert Collins)
1439
* ``TestCaseWithTransport.make_branch_and_tree`` tries harder to return
1440
a tree with a ``branch`` attribute of the right format. This was
1441
preventing some ``RemoteBranch`` tests from actually running with
1442
``RemoteBranch`` instances. (Andrew Bennetts)
1446
* Removed ``Repository.text_store``, ``control_store``, etc. Instead,
1447
there are new attributes ``texts, inventories, revisions,
1448
signatures``, each of which is a ``VersionedFiles``. See the
1449
Repository docstring for more details.
1452
* ``Branch.pull`` now accepts an ``_override_hook_target`` optional
1453
parameter. If you have a subclass of ``Branch`` that overrides
1454
``pull`` then you should add this parameter. (Andrew Bennetts)
1456
* ``bzrlib.check.check()`` has been deprecated in favour of the more
1457
aptly-named ``bzrlib.check.check_branch()``.
1460
* ``Tree.print_file`` and ``Repository.print_file`` are deprecated.
1461
These methods are bad APIs because they write directly to sys.stdout.
1462
bzrlib does not use them internally, and there are no direct tests
1463
for them. (Alexander Belchenko)
1467
* ``cat`` command no longer uses ``Tree.print_file()`` internally.
1468
(Alexander Belchenko)
1470
* New class method ``BzrDir.open_containing_tree_branch_or_repository``
1471
which eases the discovery of the tree, the branch and the repository
1472
containing a given location.
1475
* New ``versionedfile.KeyMapper`` interface to abstract out the access to
1476
underlying .knit/.kndx etc files in repositories with partitioned
1477
storage. (Robert Collins)
1479
* Obsolete developer-use command ``weave-join`` has been removed.
1482
* ``RemoteToOtherFetcher`` and ``get_data_stream_for_search`` removed,
1483
to support new ``VersionedFiles`` layering.
1487
bzr 1.6beta2 2008-06-10
1488
-----------------------
1490
This release contains further progress towards our 1.6 goals of shallow
1491
repositories, and contains a fix for some user-affecting bugs in the
1492
repository layer. Building working trees during checkout and branch is
1497
* Avoid KnitCorrupt error extracting inventories from some repositories.
1498
(The data is not corrupt; an internal check is detecting a problem
1499
reading from the repository.)
1500
(Martin Pool, Andrew Bennetts, Robert Collins, #234748)
1502
* ``bzr status`` was breaking if you merged the same revision twice.
1503
(John Arbash Meinel, #235407)
1505
* Fix infinite loop consuming 100% CPU when a connection is lost while
1506
reading a response body via the smart protocol v1 or v2.
1509
* Inserting a bundle which changes the contents of a file with no trailing
1510
end of line, causing a knit snapshot in a 'knits' repository will no longer
1511
cause KnitCorrupt. (Robert Collins)
1513
* ``RemoteBranch.pull`` needs to return the ``self._real_branch``'s
1514
pull result. It was instead just returning None, which breaks ``bzr
1515
pull``. (John Arbash Meinel, #238149)
1517
* Sanitize branch nick before using it as an attachment filename in
1518
``bzr send``. (Lukáš Lalinský, #210218)
1520
* Squash ``inv_entry.symlink_target`` to a plain string when
1521
generating DirState details. This prevents from getting a
1522
``UnicodeError`` when you have symlinks and non-ascii filenames.
1523
(John Arbash Meinel, #135320)
1527
* Added the 'alias' command to set/unset and display aliases. (Tim Penhey)
1529
* ``added``, ``modified``, and ``unknowns`` behaviour made consistent (all three
1530
now quote paths where required). Added ``--null`` option to ``added`` and
1531
``modified`` (for null-separated unknowns, use ``ls --unknown --null``)
1534
* Faster branching (1.09x) and lightweight checkouts (1.06x) on large trees.
1535
(Ian Clatworthy, Aaron Bentley)
1539
* Added *Bazaar Zen* section to the User Guide. (Ian Clatworthy)
1543
* Fix the test HTTPServer to be isolated from chdir calls made while it is
1544
running, allowing it to be used in blackbox tests. (Robert Collins)
1548
* ``WorkingTree.set_parent_(ids/trees)`` will now filter out revisions
1549
which are in the ancestry of other revisions. So if you merge the same
1550
tree twice, or merge an ancestor of an existing merge, it will only
1551
record the newest. (If you merge a descendent, it will replace its
1552
ancestor). (John Arbash Meinel, #235407)
1554
* ``RepositoryPolicy.__init__`` now requires stack_on and stack_on_pwd,
1555
through the derived classes do not. (Aaron Bentley)
1559
* ``bzrlib.bzrdir.BzrDir.sprout`` now accepts ``stacked`` to control
1560
creating stacked branches. (Robert Collins)
1562
* Knit record serialisation is now stricter on what it will accept, to
1563
guard against potential internal bugs, or broken input. (Robert Collins)
1566
bzr 1.6beta1 2008-06-02
1567
-----------------------
1570
Commands that work on the revision history such as push, pull, missing,
1571
uncommit and log are now substantially faster. This release adds a
1572
translation of some of the user documentation into Spanish. (Contributions of
1573
other translations would be very welcome.) Bazaar 1.6beta1 adds a new network
1574
protocol which is used by default and which allows for more efficient transfers
1575
and future extensions.
1578
NOTES WHEN UPGRADING:
1580
* There is a new version of the network protocol used for bzr://, bzr+ssh://
1581
and bzr+http:// connections. This will allow more efficient requests and
1582
responses, and more graceful fallback when a server is too old to
1583
recognise a request from a more recent client. Bazaar 1.6 will
1584
interoperate with 0.16 and later versions, but servers should be upgraded
1585
when possible. Bazaar 1.6 no longer interoperates with 0.15 and earlier via
1586
these protocols. Use alternatives like SFTP or upgrade those servers.
1587
(Andrew Bennetts, #83935)
1591
* Deprecation warnings will not be suppressed when running ``bzr selftest``
1592
so that developers can see if their code is using deprecated functions.
1593
(John Arbash Meinel)
1597
* Adding ``-Derror`` will now display a traceback when a plugin fails to
1598
load. (James Westby)
1602
* ``bzr branch/push/pull -r XXX`` now have a helper function for finding
1603
the revno of the new revision (``Graph.find_distance_to_null``). This
1604
should make something like ``bzr branch -r -100`` in a shared, no-trees
1605
repository much snappier. (John Arbash Meinel)
1607
* ``bzr log --short -r X..Y`` no longer needs to access the full revision
1608
history. This makes it noticeably faster when logging the last few
1609
revisions. (John Arbash Meinel)
1611
* ``bzr ls`` now accepts ``-V`` as an alias for ``--versioned``.
1612
(Jerad Cramp, #165086)
1614
* ``bzr missing`` uses the new ``Graph.find_unique_ancestors`` and
1615
``Graph.find_differences`` to determine missing revisions without having
1616
to search the whole ancestry. (John Arbash Meinel, #174625)
1618
* ``bzr uncommit`` now uses partial history access, rather than always
1619
extracting the full revision history for a branch. This makes it
1620
resolve the appropriate revisions much faster (in testing it drops
1621
uncommit from 1.5s => 0.4s). It also means ``bzr log --short`` is one
1622
step closer to not using full revision history.
1623
(John Arbash Meinel, #172649)
1627
* ``bzr merge --lca`` should handle when two revisions have no common
1628
ancestor other than NULL_REVISION. (John Arbash Meinel, #235715)
1630
* ``bzr status`` was breaking if you merged the same revision twice.
1631
(John Arbash Meinel, #235407)
1633
* ``bzr push`` with both ``--overwrite`` and ``-r NNN`` options no longer
1634
fails. (Andrew Bennetts, #234229)
1636
* Correctly track the base URL of a smart medium when using bzr+http://
1637
URLs, which was causing spurious "No repository present" errors with
1638
branches in shared repositories accessed over bzr+http.
1639
(Andrew Bennetts, #230550)
1641
* Define ``_remote_is_at_least_1_2`` on ``SmartClientMedium`` so that all
1642
implementations have the attribute. Fixes 'PyCurlTransport' object has no
1643
attribute '_remote_is_at_least_1_2' attribute errors.
1644
(Andrew Bennetts, #220806)
1646
* Failure to delete an obsolete pack file should just give a warning
1647
message, not a fatal error. It may for example fail if the file is still
1648
in use by another process.
1651
* Fix MemoryError during large fetches over HTTP by limiting the amount of
1652
data we try to read per ``recv`` call. The problem was observed with
1653
Windows and a proxy, but might affect other environments as well.
1654
(Eric Holmberg, #215426)
1656
* Handle old merge directives correctly in Merger.from_mergeable. Stricter
1657
get_parent_map requirements exposed a latent bug here. (Aaron Bentley)
1659
* Issue a warning and ignore passwords declared in authentication.conf when
1660
used for an ssh scheme (sftp or bzr+ssh).
1661
(Vincent Ladeuil, #203186)
1663
* Make both http implementations raise appropriate exceptions on 403
1664
Forbidden when POSTing smart requests.
1665
(Vincent Ladeuil, #230223)
1667
* Properly *title* header names in http requests instead of capitalizing
1669
(Vincent Ladeuil, #229076)
1671
* The "Unable to obtain lock" error message now also suggests using
1672
``bzr break-lock`` to fix it. (Martin Albisetti, #139202)
1674
* Treat an encoding of '' as ascii; this can happen when bzr is run
1675
under vim on Mac OS X.
1676
(Neil Martinsen-Burrell)
1678
* ``VersionedFile.make_mpdiffs()`` was raising an exception that wasn't in
1679
scope. (Daniel Fischer #235687)
1683
* Added directory structure and started translation of docs in spanish.
1684
(Martin Albisetti, Lucio Albenga)
1686
* Incorporate feedback from Jelmer Vernooij and Neil Martinsen-Burrell
1687
on the plugin and integration chapters of the User Guide.
1690
* More Bazaar developer documentation about packaging and release process,
1691
and about use of Python reprs.
1692
(Martin Pool, Martin Albisetti)
1694
* Updated Tortise strategy document. (Mark Hammond)
1698
* ``bzrlib.tests.adapt_tests`` was broken and unused - it has been fixed.
1701
* Fix the test HTTPServer to be isolated from chdir calls made while it is
1702
running, allowing it to be used in blackbox tests. (Robert Collins)
1704
* New helper function for splitting test suites
1705
``split_suite_by_condition``. (Robert Collins)
1709
* ``Branch.missing_revisions`` has been deprecated. Similar functionality
1710
can be obtained using ``bzrlib.missing.find_unmerged``. The api was
1711
fairly broken, and the function was unused, so we are getting rid of it.
1712
(John Arbash Meinel)
1716
* ``Branch.abspath`` is deprecated; use the Tree or Transport
1717
instead. (Martin Pool)
1719
* ``Branch.update_revisions`` now takes an optional ``Graph``
1720
object. This can be used by ``update_revisions`` when it is
1721
checking ancestry, and allows callers to prefer request to go to a
1722
local branch. (John Arbash Meinel)
1724
* Branch, Repository, Tree and BzrDir should expose a Transport as an
1725
attribute if they have one, rather than having it indirectly accessible
1726
as ``.control_files._transport``. This doesn't add a requirement
1727
to support a Transport in cases where it was not needed before;
1728
it just simplifies the way it is reached. (Martin Pool)
1730
* ``bzr missing --mine-only`` will return status code 0 if you have no
1731
new revisions, but the remote does. Similarly for ``--theirs-only``.
1732
The new code only checks one side, so it doesn't know if the other
1733
side has changes. This seems more accurate with the request anyway.
1734
It also changes the output to print '[This|Other] branch is up to
1735
date.' rather than displaying nothing. (John Arbash Meinel)
1737
* ``LockableFiles.put_utf8``, ``put_bytes`` and ``controlfilename``
1738
are now deprecated in favor of using Transport operations.
1741
* Many methods on ``VersionedFile``, ``Repository`` and in
1742
``bzrlib.revision`` deprecated before bzrlib 1.5 have been removed.
1745
* ``RevisionSpec.wants_revision_history`` can be set to False for a given
1746
``RevisionSpec``. This will disable the existing behavior of passing in
1747
the full revision history to ``self._match_on``. Useful for specs that
1748
don't actually need access to the full history. (John Arbash Meinel)
1750
* The constructors of ``SmartClientMedium`` and its subclasses now require a
1751
``base`` parameter. ``SmartClientMedium`` implementations now also need
1752
to provide a ``remote_path_from_transport`` method. (Andrew Bennetts)
1754
* The default permissions for creating new files and directories
1755
should now be obtained from ``BzrDir._get_file_mode()`` and
1756
``_get_dir_mode()``, rather than from LockableFiles. The ``_set_file_mode``
1757
and ``_set_dir_mode`` variables on LockableFiles which were advertised
1758
as a way for plugins to control this are no longer consulted.
1761
* ``VersionedFile.join`` is deprecated. This method required local
1762
instances of both versioned file objects and was thus hostile to being
1763
used for streaming from a smart server. The new get_record_stream and
1764
insert_record_stream are meant to efficiently replace this method.
1767
* ``WorkingTree.set_parent_(ids/trees)`` will now filter out revisions
1768
which are in the ancestry of other revisions. So if you merge the same
1769
tree twice, or merge an ancestor of an existing merge, it will only
1770
record the newest. (If you merge a descendent, it will replace its
1771
ancestor). (John Arbash Meinel, #235407)
1773
* ``WorkingTreeFormat2.stub_initialize_remote`` is now private.
1780
This release of Bazaar includes several updates to the documentation, and fixes
1781
to prepare for making rich root support the default format. Many bugs have been
1782
squashed, including fixes to log, bzr+ssh inter-operation with older servers.
1786
* Suppress deprecation warnings when bzrlib is a 'final' release. This way
1787
users of packaged software won't be bothered with DeprecationWarnings,
1788
but developers and testers will still see them. (John Arbash Meinel)
1792
* Incorporate feedback from Jelmer Vernooij and Neil Martinsen-Burrell
1793
on the plugin and integration chapters of the User Guide.

NOTES WHEN UPGRADING:
1804
* Broader support of GNU Emacs mail clients. Set
1805
``mail_client=emacsclient`` in your bazaar.conf and ``send`` will pop the
1806
bundle in a mail buffer according to the value of ``mail-user-agent``
1807
variable. (Xavier Maillard)
1813
* Diff now handles revision specs like "branch:" and "submit:" more
1814
efficiently. (Aaron Bentley, #202928)
1816
* More friendly error given when attempt to start the smart server
1817
on an address already in use. (Andrea Corbellini, #200575)
1819
* Pull completes much faster when there is nothing to pull.
1824
* Authentication.conf can define sections without password.
1825
(Vincent Ladeuil, #199440)
1827
* Avoid muttering every time a child update does not cause a progress bar
1828
update. (John Arbash Meinel, #213771)
1830
* ``Branch.reconcile()`` is now implemented. This allows ``bzr reconcile``
1831
to fix when a Branch has a non-canonical mainline history. ``bzr check``
1832
also detects this condition. (John Arbash Meinel, #177855)
1834
* ``bzr log -r ..X bzr://`` was failing, because it was getting a request
1835
for ``revision_id=None`` which was not a string.
1836
(John Arbash Meinel, #211661)
1838
* ``bzr commit`` now works with Microsoft's FTP service.
1841
* Catch definitions outside sections in authentication.conf.
1842
(Vincent Ladeuil, #217650)
1844
* Conversion from non-rich-root to rich-root(-pack) updates inventory
1845
sha1s, even when bundles are used. (Aaron Bentley, #181391)
1847
* Conversion from non-rich-root to rich-root(-pack) works correctly even
1848
though search keys are not topologically sorted. (Aaron Bentley)
1850
* Conversion from non-rich-root to rich-root(-pack) works even when a
1851
parent revision has a different root id. (Aaron Bentley, #177874)
1853
* Disable strace testing until strace is fixed (see bug #103133) and emit a
1854
warning when selftest ends to remind us of leaking tests.
1855
(Vincent Ladeuil, #226769)
1857
* Fetching all revisions from a repository does not cause pack collisions.
1858
(Robert Collins, Aaron Bentley, #212908)
1860
* Fix error about "attempt to add line-delta in non-delta knit".
1861
(Andrew Bennetts, #217701)
1863
* Pushing a branch in "dirstate" format (Branch5) over bzr+ssh would break
1864
if the remote server was < version 1.2. This was due to a bug in the
1865
RemoteRepository.get_parent_map() fallback code.
1866
(John Arbash Meinel, #214894)
1868
* Remove leftover code in ``bzr_branch`` that inappropriately creates
1869
a ``branch-name`` file in the branch control directory.
1872
* Set SO_REUSEADDR on server sockets of ``bzr serve`` to avoid problems
1873
rebinding the socket when starting the server a second time.
1874
(John Arbash Meinel, Martin Pool, #164288)
1876
* Severe performance degradation in fetching from knit repositories to
1877
knits and packs due to parsing the entire revisions.kndx on every graph
1878
walk iteration fixed by using the Repository.get_graph API. There was
1879
another regression in knit => knit fetching which re-read the index for
1880
every revision each side had in common.
1881
(Robert Collins, John Arbash Meinel)
1883
* When logging the changes to a particular file, there was a bug if there
1884
were ghosts in the revision ancestry. (John Arbash Meinel, #209948)
1886
* xs4all's ftp server returns a temporary error when trying to list an
1887
empty directory, rather than returning an empty list. Adding a
1888
workaround so that we don't get spurious failures.
1889
(John Arbash Meinel, #215522)
1893
* Expanded the User Guide to include new chapters on popular plugins and
1894
integrating Bazaar into your environment. The *Best practices* chapter
1895
was renamed to *Miscellaneous topics* as suggested by community
1896
feedback as well. (Ian Clatworthy)
1898
* Document outlining strategies for TortoiseBzr. (Mark Hammond)
1900
* Improved the documentation on hooks. (Ian Clatworthy)
1902
* Update authentication docs regarding ssh agents.
1903
(Vincent Ladeuil, #183705)
1907
* Add ``thread_name_suffix`` parameter to SmartTCPServer_for_testing, to
1908
make it easy to identify which test spawned a thread with an unhandled
1909
exception. (Andrew Bennetts)
1911
* New ``--debugflag``/``-E`` option to ``bzr selftest`` for setting
1912
options for debugging tests, these are complementary to the the -D
1913
options. The ``-Dselftest_debug`` global option has been replaced by the
1914
``-E=allow_debug`` option for selftest. (Andrew Bennetts)
1916
* Parameterised test ids are preserved correctly to aid diagnosis of test
1917
failures. (Robert Collins, Andrew Bennetts)
1919
* selftest now accepts --starting-with <id> to load only the tests whose id
1920
starts with the one specified. This greatly speeds up running the test
1921
suite on a limited set of tests and can be used to run the tests for a
1922
single module, a single class or even a single test. (Vincent Ladeuil)
1924
* The test suite modules have been modified to define load_tests() instead
1925
of test_suite(). That speeds up selective loading (via --load-list)
1926
significantly and provides many examples on how to migrate (grep for
1927
load_tests). (Vincent Ladeuil)
1931
* ``Hooks.install_hook`` is now deprecated in favour of
1932
``Hooks.install_named_hook`` which adds a required ``name`` parameter, to
1933
avoid having to call ``Hooks.name_hook``. (Daniel Watkins)
1935
* Implement xml8 serializer. (Aaron Bentley)
1937
* New form ``@deprecated_method(deprecated_in(1, 5, 0))`` for making
1938
deprecation wrappers. (Martin Pool)
1940
* ``Repository.revision_parents`` is now deprecated in favour of
1941
``Repository.get_parent_map([revid])[revid]``. (Jelmer Vernooij)
1943
* The Python ``assert`` statement is no longer used in Bazaar source, and
1944
a test checks this. (Martin Pool)
1948
* ``bzrlib.status.show_pending_merges`` requires the repository to be
1949
locked by the caller. Callers should have been doing it anyway, but it
1950
will now raise an exception if they do not. (John Arbash Meinel)
1952
* Repository.get_data_stream, Repository.get_data_stream_for_search(),
1953
Repository.get_deltas_for_revsions(), Repository.revision_trees(),
1954
Repository.item_keys_introduced_by() no longer take read locks.
1957
* ``LockableFiles.get_utf8`` and ``.get`` are deprecated, as a start
1958
towards removing LockableFiles and ``.control_files`` entirely.
1961
* Methods deprecated prior to 1.1 have been removed.
1968
This release of Bazaar includes handy improvements to the speed of log and
1969
status, new options for several commands, improved documentation, and better
1970
hooks, including initial code for server-side hooks. A number of bugs have
1971
been fixed, particularly in interoperability between different formats or
1972
different releases of Bazaar over there network. There's been substantial
1973
internal work in both the repository and network code to enable new features
1974
and faster performance.
1978
* Pushing a branch in "dirstate" format (Branch5) over bzr+ssh would break
1979
if the remote server was < version 1.2. This was due to a bug in the
1980
RemoteRepository.get_parent_map() fallback code.

1984
bzr 1.4rc2 2008-04-21
1985
---------------------
1989
* ``bzr log -r ..X bzr://`` was failing, because it was getting a request
1990
for ``revision_id=None`` which was not a string.
1991
(John Arbash Meinel, #211661)
1993
* Fixed a bug in handling ghost revisions when logging changes in a
1994
particular file. (John Arbash Meinel, #209948)
1996
* Fix error about "attempt to add line-delta in non-delta knit".
1997
(Andrew Bennetts, #205156)
1999
* Fixed performance degradation in fetching from knit repositories to
2000
knits and packs due to parsing the entire revisions.kndx on every graph
2001
walk iteration fixed by using the Repository.get_graph API. There was
2002
another regression in knit => knit fetching which re-read the index for
2003
every revision each side had in common.
2004
(Robert Collins, John Arbash Meinel)
2007
bzr 1.4rc1 2008-04-11
2008
---------------------
2012
* bzr main script cannot be imported (Benjamin Peterson)
2014
* On Linux bzr additionally looks for plugins in arch-independent site
2015
directory. (Toshio Kuratomi)
2017
* The ``set_rh`` branch hook is now deprecated. Please migrate
2018
any plugins using this hook to use an alternative, e.g.
2019
``post_change_branch_tip``. (Ian Clatworthy)
2021
* When a plugin cannot be loaded as the file path is not a valid
2022
python module name bzr will now strip a ``bzr_`` prefix from the
2023
front of the suggested name, as many plugins (e.g. bzr-svn)
2024
want to be installed without this prefix. It is a common mistake
2025
to have a folder named "bzr-svn" for that plugin, especially
2026
as this is what bzr branch lp:bzr-svn will give you. (James Westby,
2029
* UniqueIntegerBugTracker now appends bug-ids instead of joining
2030
them to the base URL. Plugins that register bug trackers may
2031
need a trailing / added to the base URL if one is not already there.
2032
(James Wesby, Andrew Cowie)
2036
* Added start_commit hook for mutable trees. (Jelmer Vernooij, #186422)
2038
* ``status`` now accepts ``--no-pending`` to show the status without
2039
listing pending merges, which speeds up the command a lot on large
2040
histories. (James Westby, #202830)
2042
* New ``post_change_branch_tip`` hook that is called after the
2043
branch tip is moved but while the branch is still write-locked.
2044
See the User Reference for signature details.
2045
(Ian Clatworthy, James Henstridge)
2047
* Reconfigure can convert a branch to be standalone or to use a shared
2048
repository. (Aaron Bentley)
2052
* The smart protocol now has support for setting branches' revision info
2053
directly. This should make operations like push slightly faster, and is a
2054
step towards server-side hooks. The new request method name is
2055
``Branch.set_last_revision_info``. (Andrew Bennetts)
2057
* ``bzr commit --fixes`` now recognises "gnome" as a tag by default.
2058
(James Westby, Andrew Cowie)
2060
* ``bzr switch`` will attempt to find branches to switch to relative to the
2061
current branch. E.g. ``bzr switch branchname`` will look for
2062
``current_branch/../branchname``. (Robert Collins, Jelmer Vernooij,
2065
* Diff is now more specific about execute-bit changes it describes
2068
* Fetching data over HTTP is a bit faster when urllib is used. This is done
2069
by forcing it to recv 64k at a time when reading lines in HTTP headers,
2070
rather than just 1 byte at a time. (Andrew Bennetts)
2072
* Log --short and --line are much faster when -r is not specified.
2075
* Merge is faster. We no longer check a file's existence unnecessarily
2076
when merging the execute bit. (Aaron Bentley)
2078
* ``bzr status`` on an explicit list of files no longer shows pending
2079
merges, making it much faster on large trees. (John Arbash Meinel)
2081
* The launchpad directory service now warns the user if they have not set
2082
their launchpad login and are trying to resolve a URL using it, just
2083
in case they want to do a write operation with it. (James Westby)
2085
* The smart protocol client is slightly faster, because it now only queries
2086
the server for the protocol version once per connection. Also, the HTTP
2087
transport will now automatically probe for and use a smart server if
2088
one is present. You can use the new ``nosmart+`` transport decorator
2089
to get the old behaviour. (Andrew Bennetts)
2091
* The ``version`` command takes a ``--short`` option to print just the
2092
version number, for easier use in scripts. (Martin Pool)
2094
* Various operations with revision specs and commands that calculate
2095
revnos and revision ids are faster. (John A. Meinel, Aaron Bentley)
2099
* Add ``root_client_path`` parameter to SmartWSGIApp and
2100
SmartServerRequest. This makes it possible to publish filesystem
2101
locations that don't exactly match URL paths. SmartServerRequest
2102
subclasses should use the new ``translate_client_path`` and
2103
``transport_from_client_path`` methods when dealing with paths received
2104
from a client to take this into account. (Andrew Bennetts, #124089)
2106
* ``bzr mv a b`` can be now used also to rename previously renamed
2107
directories, not only files. (Lukáš Lalinský, #107967)
2109
* ``bzr uncommit --local`` can now remove revisions from the local
2110
branch to be symmetric with ``bzr commit --local``.
2111
(John Arbash Meinel, #93412)
2113
* Don't ask for a password if there is no real terminal.
2114
(Alexander Belchenko, #69851)
2116
* Fix a bug causing a ValueError crash in ``parse_line_delta_iter`` when
2117
fetching revisions from a knit to pack repository or vice versa using
2118
bzr:// (including over http or ssh).
2119
(#208418, Andrew Bennetts, Martin Pool, Robert Collins)
2121
* Fixed ``_get_line`` in ``bzrlib.smart.medium``, which was buggy. Also
2122
fixed ``_get_bytes`` in the same module to use the push back buffer.
2123
These bugs had no known impact in normal use, but were problematic for
2124
developers working on the code, and were likely to cause real bugs sooner
2125
or later. (Andrew Bennetts)
2127
* Implement handling of basename parameter for DefaultMail. (James Westby)
2129
* Incompatibility with Paramiko versions newer than 1.7.2 was fixed.
2130
(Andrew Bennetts, #213425)
2132
* Launchpad locations (lp: URLs) can be pulled. (Aaron Bentley, #181945)
2134
* Merges that add files to deleted root directories complete. They
2135
do create conflicts. (Aaron Bentley, #210092)
2137
* vsftp's return ``550 RNFR command failed.`` supported.
2138
(Marcus Trautwig, #129786)
2142
* Improved documentation on send/merge relationship. (Peter Schuller)
2144
* Minor fixes to the User Guide. (Matthew Fuller)
2146
* Reduced the evangelism in the User Guide. (Ian Clatworthy)
2148
* Added Integrating with Bazaar document for developers (Martin Albisetti)
2152
* Attempting to pull data from a ghost aware repository (e.g. knits) into a
2153
non-ghost aware repository such as weaves will now fail if there are
2154
ghosts. (Robert Collins)
2156
* ``KnitVersionedFile`` no longer accepts an ``access_mode`` parameter, and
2157
now requires the ``index`` and ``access_method`` parameters to be
2158
supplied. A compatible shim has been kept in the new function
2159
``knit.make_file_knit``. (Robert Collins)
2161
* Log formatters must now provide log_revision instead of show and
2162
show_merge_revno methods. The latter had been deprecated since the 0.17
2163
release. (James Westby)
2165
* ``LoopbackSFTP`` is now called ``SocketAsChannelAdapter``.
2168
* ``osutils.backup_file`` is removed. (Alexander Belchenko)
2170
* ``Repository.get_revision_graph`` is deprecated, with no replacement
2171
method. The method was size(history) and not desirable. (Robert Collins)
2173
* ``revision.revision_graph`` is deprecated, with no replacement function.
2174
The function was size(history) and not desirable. (Robert Collins)
2176
* ``Transport.get_shared_medium`` is deprecated. Use
2177
``Transport.get_smart_medium`` instead. (Andrew Bennetts)
2179
* ``VersionedFile`` factories now accept a get_scope parameter rather
2180
than using a call to ``transaction_finished``, allowing the removal of
2181
the fixed list of versioned files per repository. (Robert Collins)
2183
* ``VersionedFile.annotate_iter`` is deprecated. While in principle this
2184
allowed lower memory use, all users of annotations wanted full file
2185
annotations, and there is no storage format suitable for incremental
2186
line-by-line annotation. (Robert Collins)
2188
* ``VersionedFile.clone_text`` is deprecated. This performance optimisation
2189
is no longer used - reading the content of a file that is undergoing a
2190
file level merge to identical state on two branches is rare enough, and
2191
not expensive enough to special case. (Robert Collins)
2193
* ``VersionedFile.clear_cache`` and ``enable_cache`` are deprecated.
2194
These methods added significant complexity to the ``VersionedFile``
2195
implementation, but were only used for optimising fetches from knits -
2196
which can be done from outside the knit layer, or via a caching
2197
decorator. As knits are not the default format, the complexity is no
2198
longer worth paying. (Robert Collins)
2200
* ``VersionedFile.create_empty`` is removed. This method presupposed a
2201
sensible mapping to a transport for individual files, but pack backed
2202
versioned files have no such mapping. (Robert Collins)
2204
* ``VersionedFile.get_graph`` is deprecated, with no replacement method.
2205
The method was size(history) and not desirable. (Robert Collins)
2207
* ``VersionedFile.get_graph_with_ghosts`` is deprecated, with no
2208
replacement method. The method was size(history) and not desirable.
2211
* ``VersionedFile.get_parents`` is deprecated, please use
2212
``VersionedFile.get_parent_map``. (Robert Collins)
2214
* ``VersionedFile.get_sha1`` is deprecated, please use
2215
``VersionedFile.get_sha1s``. (Robert Collins)
2217
* ``VersionedFile.has_ghost`` is now deprecated, as it is both expensive
2218
and unused outside of a single test. (Robert Collins)
2220
* ``VersionedFile.iter_parents`` is now deprecated in favour of
2221
``get_parent_map`` which can be used to instantiate a Graph on a
2222
VersionedFile. (Robert Collins)
2224
* ``VersionedFileStore`` no longer uses the transaction parameter given
2225
to most methods; amongst other things this means that the
2226
get_weave_or_empty method no longer guarantees errors on a missing weave
2227
in a readonly transaction, and no longer caches versioned file instances
2228
which reduces memory pressure (but requires more careful management by
2229
callers to preserve performance). (Robert Collins)
2233
* New -Dselftest_debug flag disables clearing of the debug flags during
2234
tests. This is useful if you want to use e.g. -Dhpss to help debug a
2235
failing test. Be aware that using this feature is likely to cause
2236
spurious test failures if used with the full suite. (Andrew Bennetts)
2238
* selftest --load-list now uses a new more agressive test loader that will
2239
avoid loading unneeded modules and building their tests. Plugins can use
2240
this new loader by defining a load_tests function instead of a test_suite
2241
function. (a forthcoming patch will provide many examples on how to
2245
* selftest --load-list now does some sanity checks regarding duplicate test
2246
IDs and tests present in the list but not found in the actual test suite.
2249
* Slightly more concise format for the selftest progress bar, so there's
2250
more space to show the test name. (Martin Pool) ::
2252
[2500/10884, 1fail, 3miss in 1m29s] test_revisionnamespaces.TestRev
2254
* The test suite takes much less memory to run, and is a bit faster. This
2255
is done by clearing most attributes of TestCases after running them, if
2256
they succeeded. (Andrew Bennetts)
2260
* Added ``_build_client_protocol`` to ``_SmartClient``. (Andrew Bennetts)
2262
* Added basic infrastructure for automatic plugin suggestion.
2265
* If a ``LockableFiles`` object is not explicitly unlocked (for example
2266
because of a missing ``try/finally`` block, it will give a warning but
2267
not automatically unlock itself. (Previously they did.) This
2268
sometimes caused knock-on errors if for example the network connection
2269
had already failed, and should not be relied upon by code.
2270
(Martin Pool, #109520)
2272
* ``make dist`` target to build a release tarball, and also
2273
``check-dist-tarball`` and ``dist-upload-escudero``. (Martin Pool)
2275
* The ``read_response_tuple`` method of ``SmartClientRequestProtocol*``
2276
classes will now raise ``UnknownSmartMethod`` when appropriate, so that
2277
callers don't need to try distinguish unknown request errors from other
2278
errors. (Andrew Bennetts)
2280
* ``set_make_working_trees`` is now implemented provided on all repository
2281
implementations (Aaron Bentley)
2283
* ``VersionedFile`` now has a new method ``get_parent_map`` which, like
2284
``Graph.get_parent_map`` returns a dict of key:parents. (Robert Collins)

Bazaar has become part of the GNU project <http://www.gnu.org>
2309
Many operations that act on history, including ``log`` and ``annotate`` are now
2310
substantially faster. Several bugs have been fixed and several new options and
2311
features have been added.
2315
* Avoid spurious failure of ``TestVersion.test_version`` matching
2317
(#202778, Martin Pool)
2320
bzr 1.3rc1 2008-03-16
2321
---------------------
2323
NOTES WHEN UPGRADING:
2325
* The backup directory created by ``upgrade`` is now called
2326
``backup.bzr``, not ``.bzr.backup``. (Martin Albisetti)
2330
* A new repository format 'development' has been added. This format will
2331
represent the latest 'in-progress' format that the bzr developers are
2332
interested in getting early-adopter testing and feedback on.
2333
``doc/developers/development-repo.txt`` has detailed information.
2336
* BZR_LOG environment variable controls location of .bzr.log trace file.
2337
User can suppress writing messages to .bzr.log by using '/dev/null'
2338
filename (on Linux) or 'NUL' (on Windows). If BZR_LOG variable
2339
is not defined but BZR_HOME is defined then default location
2340
for .bzr.log trace file is ``$BZR_HOME/.bzr.log``.
2341
(Alexander Belchenko, #106117)
2343
* ``launchpad`` builtin plugin now shipped as separate part in standalone
2344
bzr.exe, installed to ``C:\Program Files\Bazaar\plugins`` directory,
2345
and standalone installer allows user to skip installation of this plugin.
2346
(Alexander Belchenko)
2348
* Restore auto-detection of plink.exe on Windows. (Dmitry Vasiliev)
2350
* Version number is now shown as "1.2" or "1.2pr2", without zeroed or
2351
missing final fields. (Martin Pool)
2355
* ``branch`` and ``checkout`` can hard-link working tree files, which is
2356
faster and saves space. (Aaron Bentley)
2358
* ``bzr send`` will now also look at the ``child_submit_to`` setting in
2359
the submit branch to determine the email address to send to.
2364
* BzrBranch._lefthand_history is faster on pack repos. (Aaron Bentley)
2366
* Branch6.generate_revision_history is faster. (Aaron Bentley)
2368
* Directory services can now be registered, allowing special URLs to be
2369
dereferenced into real URLs. This is a generalization and cleanup of
2370
the lp: transport lookup. (Aaron Bentley)
2372
* Merge directives that are automatically attached to emails have nicer
2373
filenames, based on branch-nick + revno. (Aaron Bentley)
2375
* ``push`` has a ``--revision`` option, to specify what revision to push up
2376
to. (Daniel Watkins)
2378
* Significantly reducing execution time and network traffic for trivial
2379
case of running ``bzr missing`` command for two identical branches.
2380
(Alexander Belchenko)
2382
* Speed up operations that look at the revision graph (such as 'bzr log').
2383
``KnitPackRepositor.get_revision_graph`` uses ``Graph.iter_ancestry`` to
2384
extract the revision history. This allows filtering ghosts while
2385
stepping instead of needing to peek ahead. (John Arbash Meinel)
2387
* The ``hooks`` command lists installed hooks, to assist in debugging.
2390
* Updates to how ``annotate`` work. Should see a measurable improvement in
2391
performance and memory consumption for file with a lot of merges.
2392
Also, correctly handle when a line is introduced by both parents (it
2393
should be attributed to the first merge which notices this, and not
2394
to all subsequent merges.) (John Arbash Meinel)
2398
* Autopacking no longer holds the full set of inventory lines in
2399
memory while copying. For large repositories, this can amount to
2400
hundreds of MB of ram consumption.
2401
(Ian Clatworthy, John Arbash Meinel)
2403
* Cherrypicking when using ``--format=merge3`` now explictly excludes
2404
BASE lines. (John Arbash Meinel, #151731)
2406
* Disable plink's interactive prompt for password.
2407
(#107593, Dmitry Vasiliev)
2409
* Encode command line arguments from unicode to user_encoding before
2410
invoking external mail client in `bzr send` command.
2411
(#139318, Alexander Belchenko)
2413
* Fixed problem connecting to ``bzr+https://`` servers.
2414
(#198793, John Ferlito)
2416
* Improved error reporting in the Launchpad plugin. (Daniel Watkins,
2419
* Include quick-start-summary.svg file to python-based installer(s)
2420
for Windows. (#192924, Alexander Belchenko)
2422
* lca merge now respects specified files. (Aaron Bentley)
2424
* Make version-info --custom imply --all. (#195560, James Westby)
2426
* ``merge --preview`` now works for merges that add or modify
2427
symlinks (James Henstridge)
2429
* Redirecting the output from ``bzr merge`` (when the remembered
2430
location is used) now works. (John Arbash Meinel)
2432
* setup.py script explicitly checks for Python version.
2433
(Jari Aalto, Alexander Belchenko, #200569)
2435
* UnknownFormatErrors no longer refer to branches regardless of kind of
2436
unknown format. (Daniel Watkins, #173980)
2438
* Upgrade bundled ConfigObj to version 4.5.2, which properly quotes #
2439
signs, among other small improvements. (Matt Nordhoff, #86838)
2441
* Use correct indices when emitting LCA conflicts. This fixes IndexError
2442
errors. (Aaron Bentley, #196780)
2446
* Explained how to use ``version-info --custom`` in the User Guide.
2447
(Neil Martinsen-Burrell)
2451
* Support for loading plugins from zip files and
2452
``bzrlib.plugin.load_from_zip()`` function are deprecated.
2453
(Alexander Belchenko)
2457
* Added missing blackbox tests for ``modified`` (Adrian Wilkins)
2459
* The branch interface tests were invalid for branches using rich-root
2460
repositories because the empty string is not a valid file-id.
2465
* ``Graph.iter_ancestry`` returns the ancestry of revision ids. Similar to
2466
``Repository.get_revision_graph()`` except it includes ghosts and you can
2467
stop part-way through. (John Arbash Meinel)
2469
* New module ``tools/package_mf.py`` provide custom module finder for
2470
python packages (improves standard python library's modulefinder.py)
2471
used by ``setup.py`` script while building standalone bzr.exe.
2472
(Alexander Belchenko)
2474
* New remote method ``RemoteBzrDir.find_repositoryV2`` adding support for
2475
detecting external lookup support on remote repositories. This method is
2476
now attempted first when lookup up repositories, leading to an extra
2477
round trip on older bzr smart servers. (Robert Collins)
2479
* Repository formats have a new supported-feature attribute
2480
``supports_external_lookups`` used to indicate repositories which support
2481
falling back to other repositories when they have partial data.
2484
* ``Repository.get_revision_graph_with_ghosts`` and
2485
``bzrlib.revision.(common_ancestor,MultipleRevisionSources,common_graph)``
2486
have been deprecated. (John Arbash Meinel)
2488
* ``Tree.iter_changes`` is now a public API, replacing the work-in-progress
2489
``Tree._iter_changes``. The api is now considered stable and ready for
2490
external users. (Aaron Bentley)
2492
* The bzrdir format registry now accepts an ``alias`` keyword to
2493
register_metadir, used to indicate that a format name is an alias for
2494
some other format and thus should not be reported when describing the
2495
format. (Robert Collins)
2503
* Fix failing test in Launchpad plugin. (Martin Pool)
2506
bzr 1.2rc1 2008-02-13
2507
---------------------
2509
NOTES WHEN UPGRADING:
2511
* Fetching via the smart protocol may need to reconnect once during a fetch
2512
if the remote server is running Bazaar 1.1 or earlier, because the client
2513
attempts to use more efficient requests that confuse older servers. You
2514
may be required to re-enter a password or passphrase when this happens.
2515
This won't happen if the server is upgraded to Bazaar 1.2.
2520
* Fetching via bzr+ssh will no longer fill ghosts by default (this is
2521
consistent with pack-0.92 fetching over SFTP). (Robert Collins)
2523
* Formatting of ``bzr plugins`` output is changed to be more human-
2524
friendly. Full path of plugins locations will be shown only with
2525
``--verbose`` command-line option. (Alexander Belchenko)
2527
* ``merge`` now prefers to use the submit branch, but will fall back to
2528
parent branch. For many users, this has no effect. But some users who
2529
pull and merge on the same branch will notice a change. This change
2530
makes it easier to work on a branch on two different machines, pulling
2531
between the machines, while merging from the upstream.
2532
``merge --remember`` can now be used to set the submit_branch.
2537
* ``merge --preview`` produces a diff of the changes merge would make,
2538
but does not actually perform the merge. (Aaron Bentley)
2540
* New smart method ``Repository.get_parent_map`` for getting revision
2541
parent data. This returns additional parent information topologically
2542
adjacent to the requested data to reduce round trip latency impacts.
2545
* New smart method, ``Repository.stream_revisions_chunked``, for fetching
2546
revision data that streams revision data via a chunked encoding. This
2547
avoids buffering large amounts of revision data on the server and on the
2548
client, and sends less data to the server to request the revisions.
2549
(Andrew Bennetts, Robert Collins, #178353)
2551
* The launchpad plugin now handles lp urls of the form
2552
``lp://staging/``, ``lp://demo/``, ``lp://dev/`` to use the appropriate
2553
launchpad instance to do the resolution of the branch identities.
2554
This is primarily of use to Launchpad developers, but can also
2555
be used by other users who want to try out Launchpad as
2556
a branch location without messing up their public Launchpad
2557
account. Branches that are pushed to the staging environment
2558
have an expected lifetime of one day. (Tim Penhey)
2562
* Creating a new branch no longer tries to read the entire revision-history
2563
unnecessarily over smart server operations. (Robert Collins)
2565
* Fetching between different repository formats with compatible models now
2566
takes advantage of the smart method to stream revisions. (Andrew Bennetts)
2568
* The ``--coverage`` option is now global, rather specific to ``bzr
2569
selftest``. (Andrew Bennetts)
2571
* The ``register-branch`` command will now use the public url of the branch
2572
containing the current directory, if one has been set and no explicit
2573
branch is provided. (Robert Collins)
2575
* Tweak the ``reannotate`` code path to optimize the 2-parent case.
2576
Speeds up ``bzr annotate`` with a pack repository by approx 3:2.
2577
(John Arbash Meinel)
2581
* Calculate remote path relative to the shared medium in _SmartClient. This
2582
is related to the problem in bug #124089. (Andrew Bennetts)
2584
* Cleanly handle connection errors in smart protocol version two, the same
2585
way as they are handled by version one. (Andrew Bennetts)
2587
* Clearer error when ``version-info --custom`` is used without
2588
``--template`` (Lukáš Lalinský)
2590
* Don't raise UnavailableFeature during test setup when medusa is not
2591
available or tearDown is never called leading to nasty side effects.
2592
(#137823, Vincent Ladeuil)
2594
* If a plugin's test suite cannot be loaded, for example because of a syntax
2595
error in the tests, then ``selftest`` fails, rather than just printing
2596
a warning. (Martin Pool, #189771)
2598
* List possible values for BZR_SSH environment variable in env-variables
2599
help topic. (Alexander Belchenko, #181842)
2601
* New methods ``push_log_file`` and ``pop_log_file`` to intercept messages:
2602
popping the log redirection now precisely restores the previous state,
2603
which makes it easier to use bzr log output from other programs.
2604
TestCaseInTempDir no longer depends on a log redirection being established
2605
by the test framework, which lets bzr tests cleanly run from a normal
2607
(#124153, #124849, Martin Pool, Jonathan Lange)
2609
* ``pull --quiet`` is now more quiet, in particular a message is no longer
2610
printed when the remembered pull location is used. (James Westby,
2613
* ``reconfigure`` can safely be interrupted while fetching.
2614
(Aaron Bentley, #179316)
2616
* ``reconfigure`` preserves tags when converting to and from lightweight
2617
checkouts. (Aaron Bentley, #182040)
2619
* Stop polluting /tmp when running selftest.
2620
(Vincent Ladeuil, #123623)
2622
* Switch from NFKC => NFC for normalization checks. NFC allows a few
2623
more characters which should be considered valid.
2624
(John Arbash Meinel, #185458)
2626
* The launchpad plugin now uses the ``edge`` xmlrpc server to avoid
2627
interacting badly with a bug on the launchpad side. (Robert Collins)
2629
* Unknown hostnames when connecting to a ``bzr://`` URL no longer cause
2630
tracebacks. (Andrew Bennetts, #182849)
2634
* Classes implementing Merge types like Merge3Merger must now accept (and
2635
honour) a do_merge flag in their constructor. (Aaron Bentley)
2637
* ``Repository.add_inventory`` and ``add_revision`` now require the caller
2638
to previously take a write lock (and start a write group.)
2643
* selftest now accepts --load-list <file> to load a test id list. This
2644
speeds up running the test suite on a limited set of tests.
2649
* Add a new method ``get_result`` to graph search objects. The resulting
2650
``SearchResult`` can be used to recreate the search later, which will
2651
be useful in reducing network traffic. (Robert Collins)
2653
* Use convenience function to check whether two repository handles
2654
are referring to the same repository in ``Repository.get_graph``.
2655
(Jelmer Vernooij, #187162)
2657
* Fetching now passes the find_ghosts flag through to the
2658
``InterRepository.missing_revision_ids`` call consistently for all
2659
repository types. This will enable faster missing revision discovery with
2660
bzr+ssh. (Robert Collins)
2662
* Fix error handling in Repository.insert_data_stream. (Lukas Lalinsky)
2664
* ``InterRepository.missing_revision_ids`` is now deprecated in favour of
2665
``InterRepository.search_missing_revision_ids`` which returns a
2666
``bzrlib.graph.SearchResult`` suitable for making requests from the smart
2667
server. (Robert Collins)
2669
* New error ``NoPublicBranch`` for commands that need a public branch to
2670
operate. (Robert Collins)
2672
* New method ``iter_inventories`` on Repository for access to many
2673
inventories. This is primarily used by the ``revision_trees`` method, as
2674
direct access to inventories is discouraged. (Robert Collins)
2676
* New method ``next_with_ghosts`` on the Graph breadth-first-search objects
2677
which will split out ghosts and present parents into two separate sets,
2678
useful for code which needs to be aware of ghosts (e.g. fetching data
2679
cares about ghosts during revision selection). (Robert Collins)
2681
* Record a timestamp against each mutter to the trace file, relative to the
2682
first import of bzrlib. (Andrew Bennetts)
2684
* ``Repository.get_data_stream`` is now deprecated in favour of
2685
``Repository.get_data_stream_for_search`` which allows less network
2686
traffic when requesting data streams over a smart server. (Robert Collins)
2688
* ``RemoteBzrDir._get_tree_branch`` no longer triggers ``_ensure_real``,
2689
removing one round trip on many network operations. (Robert Collins)
2691
* RemoteTransport's ``recommended_page_size`` method now returns 64k, like
2692
SFTPTransport and HttpTransportBase. (Andrew Bennetts)
2694
* Repository has a new method ``has_revisions`` which signals the presence
2695
of many revisions by returning a set of the revisions listed which are
2696
present. This can be done by index queries without reading data for parent
2697
revision names etc. (Robert Collins)
2703
(no changes from 1.1rc1)
2705
bzr 1.1rc1 2008-01-05
2706
---------------------
2710
* Dotted revision numbers have been revised. Instead of growing longer with
2711
nested branches the branch number just increases. (eg instead of 1.1.1.1.1
2712
we now report 1.2.1.) This helps scale long lived branches which have many
2713
feature branches merged between them. (John Arbash Meinel)
2715
* The syntax ``bzr diff branch1 branch2`` is no longer supported.
2716
Use ``bzr diff branch1 --new branch2`` instead. This change has
2717
been made to remove the ambiguity where ``branch2`` is in fact a
2718
specific file to diff within ``branch1``.
2722
* New option to use custom template-based formats in ``bzr version-info``.
2725
* diff '--using' allows an external diff tool to be used for files.
2728
* New "lca" merge-type for fast everyday merging that also supports
2729
criss-cross merges. (Aaron Bentley)
2733
* ``annotate`` now doesn't require a working tree. (Lukáš Lalinský,
2736
* ``branch`` and ``checkout`` can now use files from a working tree to
2737
to speed up the process. For checkout, this requires the new
2738
--files-from flag. (Aaron Bentley)
2740
* ``bzr diff`` now sorts files in alphabetical order. (Aaron Bentley)
2742
* ``bzr diff`` now works on branches without working trees. Tree-less
2743
branches can also be compared to each other and to working trees using
2744
the new diff options ``--old`` and ``--new``. Diffing between branches,
2745
with or without trees, now supports specific file filtering as well.
2746
(Ian Clatworthy, #6700)
2748
* ``bzr pack`` now orders revision texts in topological order, with newest
2749
at the start of the file, promoting linear reads for ``bzr log`` and the
2750
like. This partially fixes #154129. (Robert Collins)
2752
* Merge directives now fetch prerequisites from the target branch if
2753
needed. (Aaron Bentley)
2755
* pycurl now handles digest authentication.
2758
* ``reconfigure`` can now convert from repositories. (Aaron Bentley)
2760
* ``-l`` is now a short form for ``--limit`` in ``log``. (Matt Nordhoff)
2762
* ``merge`` now warns when merge directives cause cherrypicks.
2765
* ``split`` now supported, to enable splitting large trees into smaller
2766
pieces. (Aaron Bentley)
2770
* Avoid AttributeError when unlocking a pack repository when an error occurs.
2771
(Martin Pool, #180208)
2773
* Better handle short reads when processing multiple range requests.
2774
(Vincent Ladeuil, #179368)
2776
* build_tree acceleration uses the correct path when a file has been moved.
2779
* ``commit`` now succeeds when a checkout and its master branch share a
2780
repository. (Aaron Bentley, #177592)
2782
* Fixed error reporting of unsupported timezone format in
2783
``log --timezone``. (Lukáš Lalinský, #178722)
2785
* Fixed Unicode encoding error in ``ignored`` when the output is
2786
redirected to a pipe. (Lukáš Lalinský)
2788
* Fix traceback when sending large response bodies over the smart protocol
2789
on Windows. (Andrew Bennetts, #115781)
2791
* Fix ``urlutils.relative_url`` for the case of two ``file:///`` URLs
2792
pointed to different logical drives on Windows.
2793
(Alexander Belchenko, #90847)
2795
* HTTP test servers are now compatible with the http protocol version 1.1.
2796
(Vincent Ladeuil, #175524)
2798
* _KnitParentsProvider.get_parent_map now handles requests for ghosts
2799
correctly, instead of erroring or attributing incorrect parents to ghosts.
2802
* ``merge --weave --uncommitted`` now works. (Aaron Bentley)
2804
* pycurl authentication handling was broken and incomplete. Fix handling of
2805
user:pass embedded in the urls.
2806
(Vincent Ladeuil, #177643)
2808
* Files inside non-directories are now handled like other conflict types.
2809
(Aaron Bentley, #177390)
2811
* ``reconfigure`` is able to convert trees into lightweight checkouts.
2814
* Reduce lockdir timeout to 0 when running ``bzr serve``. (Andrew Bennetts,
2817
* Test that the old ``version_info_format`` functions still work, even
2818
though they are deprecated. (John Arbash Meinel, ShenMaq, #177872)
2820
* Transform failures no longer cause ImmortalLimbo errors (Aaron Bentley,
2823
* ``uncommit`` works even when the commit messages of revisions to be
2824
removed use characters not supported in the terminal encoding.
2827
* When dumb http servers return whole files instead of the requested ranges,
2828
read the remaining bytes by chunks to avoid overflowing network buffers.
2829
(Vincent Ladeuil, #175886)
2833
* Minor tweaks made to the bug tracker integration documentation.
2836
* Reference material has now be moved out of the User Guide and added
2837
to the User Reference. The User Reference has gained 4 sections as
2838
a result: Authenication Settings, Configuration Settings, Conflicts
2839
and Hooks. All help topics are now dumped into text format in the
2840
doc/en/user-reference directory for those who like browsing that
2841
information in their editor. (Ian Clatworthy)
2843
* *Using Bazaar with Launchpad* tutorial added. (Ian Clatworthy)
2847
* find_* methods available for BzrDirs, Branches and WorkingTrees.
2850
* Help topics can now be loaded from files.
2851
(Ian Clatworthy, Alexander Belchenko)
2853
* get_parent_map now always provides tuples as its output. (Aaron Bentley)
2855
* Parent Providers should now implement ``get_parent_map`` returning a
2856
dictionary instead of ``get_parents`` returning a list.
2857
``Graph.get_parents`` is now deprecated. (John Arbash Meinel,
2860
* Patience Diff now supports arbitrary python objects, as long as they
2861
support ``hash()``. (John Arbash Meinel)
2863
* Reduce selftest overhead to establish test names by memoization.
2870
* Modules can now customise their tests by defining a ``load_tests``
2871
attribute. ``pydoc bzrlib.tests.TestUtil.TestLoader.loadTestsFromModule``
2872
for the documentation on this attribute. (Robert Collins)
2874
* New helper function ``bzrlib.tests.condition_id_re`` which helps
2875
filter tests based on a regular expression search on the tests id.
2878
* New helper function ``bzrlib.tests.condition_isinstance`` which helps
2879
filter tests based on class. (Robert Collins)
2881
* New helper function ``bzrlib.tests.exclude_suite_by_condition`` which
2882
generalises the ``exclude_suite_by_re`` function. (Robert Collins)
2884
* New helper function ``bzrlib.tests.filter_suite_by_condition`` which
2885
generalises the ``filter_suite_by_re`` function. (Robert Collins)
2887
* New helper method ``bzrlib.tests.exclude_tests_by_re`` which gives a new
2888
TestSuite that does not contain tests from the input that matched a
2889
regular expression. (Robert Collins)
2891
* New helper method ``bzrlib.tests.randomize_suite`` which returns a
2892
randomized copy of the input suite. (Robert Collins)
2894
* New helper method ``bzrlib.tests.split_suite_by_re`` which splits a test
2895
suite into two according to a regular expression. (Robert Collins)
2897
* Parametrize all http tests for the transport implementations, the http
2898
protocol versions (1.0 and 1.1) and the authentication schemes.
2901
* The ``exclude_pattern`` and ``random_order`` parameters to the function
2902
``bzrlib.tests.filter_suite_by_re`` have been deprecated. (Robert Collins)
2904
* The method ``bzrlib.tests.sort_suite_by_re`` has been deprecated. It is
2905
replaced by the new helper methods added in this release. (Robert Collins)
2913
* More improvements and fixes to the User Guide. (Ian Clatworthy)
2915
* Add information on cherrypicking/rebasing to the User Guide.
2918
* Improve bug tracker integration documentation. (Ian Clatworthy)
2920
* Minor edits to ``Bazaar in five minutes`` from David Roberts and
2921
to the rebasing section of the User Guide from Aaron Bentley.
2925
bzr 1.0rc3 2007-12-11
2926
---------------------
2930
* If a traceback occurs, users are now asked to report the bug
2931
through Launchpad (https://bugs.launchpad.net/bzr/), rather than
2932
by mail to the mailing list.
2937
* Fix Makefile rules for doc generation. (Ian Clatworthy, #175207)
2939
* Give more feedback during long http downloads by making readv deliver data
2940
as it arrives for urllib, and issue more requests for pycurl. High latency
2941
networks are better handled by urllib, the pycurl implementation give more
2942
feedback but also incur more latency.
2943
(Vincent Ladeuil, #173010)
2945
* Implement _make_parents_provider on RemoteRepository, allowing generating
2946
bundles against branches on a smart server. (Andrew Bennetts, #147836)
2950
* Improved user guide. (Ian Clatworthy)
2952
* The single-page quick reference guide is now available as a PDF.
2957
* readv urllib http implementation is now a real iterator above the
2958
underlying socket and deliver data as soon as it arrives. 'get' still
2959
wraps its output in a StringIO.
2963
bzr 1.0rc2 2007-12-07
2964
---------------------
2968
* Added a --coverage option to selftest. (Andrew Bennetts)
2970
* Annotate merge (merge-type=weave) now supports cherrypicking.
2973
* ``bzr commit`` now doesn't print the revision number twice. (Matt
2976
* New configuration option ``bugtracker_<tracker_abbrevation>_url`` to
2977
define locations of bug trackers that are not directly supported by
2978
bzr or a plugin. The URL will be treated as a template and ``{id}``
2979
placeholders will be replaced by specific bug IDs. (Lukáš Lalinský)
2981
* Support logging single merge revisions with short and line log formatters.
2984
* User Guide enhanced with suggested readability improvements from
2985
Matt Revell and corrections from John Arbash Meinel. (Ian Clatworthy)
2987
* Quick Start Guide renamed to Quick Start Card, moved down in
2988
the catalog, provided in pdf and png format and updated to refer
2989
to ``send`` instead of ``bundle``. (Ian Clatworthy, #165080)
2991
* ``switch`` can now be used on heavyweight checkouts as well as
2992
lightweight ones. After switching a heavyweight checkout, the
2993
local branch is a mirror/cache of the new bound branch and
2994
uncommitted changes in the working tree are merged. As a safety
2995
check, if there are local commits in a checkout which have not
2996
been committed to the previously bound branch, then ``switch``
2997
fails unless the ``--force`` option is given. This option is
2998
now also required if the branch a lightweight checkout is pointing
2999
to has been moved. (Ian Clatworthy)
3003
* New -Dhttp debug option reports http connections, requests and responses.
3006
* New -Dmerge debug option, which emits merge plans for merge-type=weave.
3010
* Better error message when running ``bzr cat`` on a non-existant branch.
3011
(Lukáš Lalinský, #133782)
3013
* Catch OSError 17 (file exists) in final phase of tree transform and show
3015
(Alexander Belchenko, #111758)
3017
* Catch ShortReadvErrors while using pycurl. Also make readv more robust by
3018
allowing multiple GET requests to be issued if too many ranges are
3020
(Vincent Ladeuil, #172701)
3022
* Check for missing basis texts when fetching from packs to packs.
3023
(John Arbash Meinel, #165290)
3025
* Fall back to showing e-mail in ``log --short/--line`` if the
3026
committer/author has only e-mail. (Lukáš Lalinský, #157026)
3030
* Deprecate not passing a ``location`` argument to commit reporters'
3031
``started`` methods. (Matt Nordhoff)
3034
bzr 1.0rc1 2007-11-30
3035
---------------------
3037
NOTES WHEN UPGRADING:
3039
* The default repository format is now ``pack-0.92``. This
3040
default is used when creating new repositories with ``init`` and
3041
``init-repo``, and when branching over bzr+ssh or bzr+hpss.
3042
(See https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/164626)
3044
This format can be read and written by Bazaar 0.92 and later, and
3045
data can be transferred to and from older formats.
3047
To upgrade, please reconcile your repository (``bzr reconcile``), and then
3048
upgrade (``bzr upgrade``).
3050
``pack-0.92`` offers substantially better scaling and performance than the
3051
previous knits format. Some operations are slower where the code already
3052
had bad scaling characteristics under knits, the pack format makes such
3053
operations more visible as part of being more scalable overall. We will
3054
correct such operations over the coming releases and encourage the filing
3055
of bugs on any operation which you observe to be slower in a packs
3056
repository. One particular case that we do not intend to fix is pulling
3057
data from a pack repository into a knit repository over a high latency
3058
link; downgrading such data requires reinsertion of the file texts, and
3059
this is a classic space/time tradeoff. The current implementation is
3060
conservative on memory usage because we need to support converting data
3061
from any tree without problems.
3062
(Robert Collins, Martin Pool, #164476)
3066
* Disable detection of plink.exe as possible ssh vendor. Plink vendor
3067
still available if user selects it explicitly with BZR_SSH environment
3068
variable. (Alexander Belchenko, workaround for bug #107593)
3070
* The pack format is now accessible as "pack-0.92", or "pack-0.92-subtree"
3071
to enable the subtree functions (for example, for bzr-svn).
3072
See http://doc.bazaar-vcs.org/latest/developer/packrepo.html
3077
* New ``authentication.conf`` file holding the password or other credentials
3078
for remote servers. This can be used for ssh, sftp, smtp and other
3079
supported transports.
3082
* New rich-root and rich-root-pack formats, recording the same data about
3083
tree roots that's recorded for all other directories.
3084
(Aaron Bentley, #164639)
3086
* ``pack-0.92`` repositories can now be reconciled.
3087
(Robert Collins, #154173)
3089
* ``switch`` command added for changing the branch a lightweight checkout
3090
is associated with and updating the tree to reflect the latest content
3091
accordingly. This command was previously part of the BzrTools plug-in.
3092
(Ian Clatworthy, Aaron Bentley, David Allouche)
3094
* ``reconfigure`` command can now convert branches, trees, or checkouts to
3095
lightweight checkouts. (Aaron Bentley)
3099
* Commit updates the state of the working tree via a delta rather than
3100
supplying entirely new basis trees. For commit of a single specified file
3101
this reduces the wall clock time for commit by roughly a 30%.
3102
(Robert Collins, Martin Pool)
3104
* Commit with many automatically found deleted paths no longer performs
3105
linear scanning for the children of those paths during inventory
3106
iteration. This should fix commit performance blowing out when many such
3107
paths occur during commit. (Robert Collins, #156491)
3109
* Fetch with pack repositories will no longer read the entire history graph.
3110
(Robert Collins, #88319)
3112
* Revert takes out an appropriate lock when reverting to a basis tree, and
3113
does not read the basis inventory twice. (Robert Collins)
3115
* Diff does not require an inventory to be generated on dirstate trees.
3116
(Aaron Bentley, #149254)
3118
* New annotate merge (--merge-type=weave) implementation is fast on
3119
versionedfiles withough cached annotations, e.g. pack-0.92.
3124
* ``bzr merge`` now warns when it encounters a criss-cross merge.
3127
* ``bzr send`` now doesn't require the target e-mail address to be
3128
specified on the command line if an interactive e-mail client is used.
3131
* ``bzr tags`` now prints the revision number for each tag, instead of
3132
the revision id, unless --show-ids is passed. In addition, tags can be
3133
sorted chronologically instead of lexicographically with --sort=time.
3134
(Adeodato Simó, #120231)
3136
* Windows standalone version of bzr is able to load system-wide plugins from
3137
"plugins" subdirectory in installation directory. In addition standalone
3138
installer write to the registry (HKLM\SOFTWARE\Bazaar) useful info
3139
about paths and bzr version. (Alexander Belchenko, #129298)
3145
* A progress bar has been added for knitpack -> knitpack fetching.
3146
(Robert Collins, #157789, #159147)
3148
* Branching from a branch via smart server now preserves the repository
3149
format. (Andrew Bennetts, #164626)
3151
* ``commit`` is now able to invoke an external editor in a non-ascii
3152
directory. (Daniel Watkins, #84043)
3154
* Catch connection errors for ftp.
3155
(Vincent Ladeuil, #164567)
3157
* ``check`` no longer reports spurious unreferenced text versions.
3158
(Robert Collins, John A Meinel, #162931, #165071)
3160
* Conflicts are now resolved recursively by ``revert``.
3161
(Aaron Bentley, #102739)
3163
* Detect invalid transport reuse attempts by catching invalid URLs.
3164
(Vincent Ladeuil, #161819)
3166
* Deleting a file without removing it shows a correct diff, not a traceback.
3169
* Do no use timeout in HttpServer anymore.
3170
(Vincent Ladeuil, #158972).
3172
* Don't catch the exceptions related to the http pipeline status before
3173
retrying an http request or some programming errors may be masked.
3174
(Vincent Ladeuil, #160012)
3176
* Fix ``bzr rm`` to not delete modified and ignored files.
3177
(Lukáš Lalinský, #172598)
3179
* Fix exception when revisionspec contains merge revisons but log
3180
formatter doesn't support merge revisions. (Kent Gibson, #148908)
3182
* Fix exception when ScopeReplacer is assigned to before any members have
3183
been retrieved. (Aaron Bentley)
3185
* Fix multiple connections during checkout --lightweight.
3186
(Vincent Ladeuil, #159150)
3188
* Fix possible error in insert_data_stream when copying between
3189
pack repositories over bzr+ssh or bzr+http.
3190
KnitVersionedFile.get_data_stream now makes sure that requested
3191
compression parents are sent before any delta hunks that depend
3193
(Martin Pool, #164637)
3195
* Fix typo in limiting offsets coalescing for http, leading to
3196
whole files being downloaded instead of parts.
3197
(Vincent Ladeuil, #165061)
3199
* FTP server errors don't error in the error handling code.
3200
(Robert Collins, #161240)
3202
* Give a clearer message when a pull fails because the source needs
3204
(Martin Pool, #164443)
3206
* It is clearer when a plugin cannot be loaded because of its name, and a
3207
suggestion for an acceptable name is given. (Daniel Watkins, #103023)
3209
* Leave port as None in transport objects if user doesn't
3210
specify a port in urls.
3211
(vincent Ladeuil, #150860)
3213
* Make sure Repository.fetch(self) is properly a no-op for all
3214
Repository implementations. (John Arbash Meinel, #158333)
3216
* Mark .bzr directories as "hidden" on Windows.
3217
(Alexander Belchenko, #71147)
3219
* ``merge --uncommitted`` can now operate on a single file.
3220
(Aaron Bentley, Lukáš Lalinský, #136890)
3222
* Obsolete packs are now cleaned up by pack and autopack operations.
3223
(Robert Collins, #153789)
3225
* Operations pulling data from a smart server where the underlying
3226
repositories are not both annotated/both unannotated will now work.
3227
(Robert Collins, #165304).
3229
* Reconcile now shows progress bars. (Robert Collins, #159351)
3231
* ``RemoteBranch`` was not initializing ``self._revision_id_to_revno_map``
3232
properly. (John Arbash Meinel, #162486)
3234
* Removing an already-removed file reports the file does not exist. (Daniel
3237
* Rename on Windows is able to change filename case.
3238
(Alexander Belchenko, #77740)
3240
* Return error instead of a traceback for ``bzr log -r0``.
3241
(Kent Gibson, #133751)
3243
* Return error instead of a traceback when bzr is unable to create
3244
symlink on some platforms (e.g. on Windows).
3245
(Alexander Belchenko, workaround for #81689)
3247
* Revert doesn't crash when restoring a single file from a deleted
3248
directory. (Aaron Bentley)
3250
* Stderr output via logging mechanism now goes through encoded wrapper
3251
and no more uses utf-8, but terminal encoding instead. So all unicode
3252
strings now should be readable in non-utf-8 terminal.
3253
(Alexander Belchenko, #54173)
3255
* The error message when ``move --after`` should be used makes how to do so
3256
clearer. (Daniel Watkins, #85237)
3258
* Unicode-safe output from ``bzr info``. The output will be encoded
3259
using the terminal encoding and unrepresentable characters will be
3260
replaced by '?'. (Lukáš Lalinský, #151844)
3262
* Working trees are no longer created when pushing into a local no-trees
3263
repo. (Daniel Watkins, #50582)
3265
* Upgrade util/configobj to version 4.4.0.
3266
(Vincent Ladeuil, #151208).
3268
* Wrap medusa ftp test server as an FTPServer feature.
3269
(Vincent Ladeuil, #157752)
3273
* ``osutils.backup_file`` is deprecated. Actually it's not used in bzrlib
3274
during very long time. (Alexander Belchenko)
3276
* The return value of
3277
``VersionedFile.iter_lines_added_or_present_in_versions`` has been
3278
changed. Previously it was an iterator of lines, now it is an iterator of
3279
(line, version_id) tuples. This change has been made to aid reconcile and
3280
fetch operations. (Robert Collins)
3282
* ``bzrlib.repository.get_versioned_file_checker`` is now private.
3285
* The Repository format registry default has been removed; it was previously
3286
obsoleted by the bzrdir format default, which implies a default repository
3292
* Added ``ContainerSerialiser`` and ``ContainerPushParser`` to
3293
``bzrlib.pack``. These classes provide more convenient APIs for generating
3294
and parsing containers from streams rather than from files. (Andrew
3297
* New module ``lru_cache`` providing a cache for use by tasks that need
3298
semi-random access to large amounts of data. (John A Meinel)
3300
* InventoryEntry.diff is now deprecated. Please use diff.DiffTree instead.
3310
* New uninstaller on Win32. (Alexander Belchenko)
3313
bzr 0.92rc1 2007-10-29
3314
----------------------
3316
NOTES WHEN UPGRADING:
3320
* ``bzr`` now returns exit code 4 if an internal error occurred, and
3321
3 if a normal error occurred. (Martin Pool)
3323
* ``pull``, ``merge`` and ``push`` will no longer silently correct some
3324
repository index errors that occured as a result of the Weave disk format.
3325
Instead the ``reconcile`` command needs to be run to correct those
3326
problems if they exist (and it has been able to fix most such problems
3327
since bzr 0.8). Some new problems have been identified during this release
3328
and you should run ``bzr check`` once on every repository to see if you
3329
need to reconcile. If you cannot ``pull`` or ``merge`` from a remote
3330
repository due to mismatched parent errors - a symptom of index errors -
3331
you should simply take a full copy of that remote repository to a clean
3332
directory outside any local repositories, then run reconcile on it, and
3333
finally pull from it locally. (And naturally email the repositories owner
3334
to ask them to upgrade and run reconcile).
3339
* New ``knitpack-experimental`` repository format. This is interoperable with
3340
the ``dirstate-tags`` format but uses a smarter storage design that greatly
3341
speeds up many operations, both local and remote. This new format can be
3342
used as an option to the ``init``, ``init-repository`` and ``upgrade``
3343
commands. See http://doc.bazaar-vcs.org/0.92/developers/knitpack.html
3344
for further details. (Robert Collins)
3346
* For users of bzr-svn (and those testing the prototype subtree support) that
3347
wish to try packs, a new ``knitpack-subtree-experimental`` format has also
3348
been added. This is interoperable with the ``dirstate-subtrees`` format.
3351
* New ``reconfigure`` command. (Aaron Bentley)
3353
* New ``revert --forget-merges`` command, which removes the record of a pending
3354
merge without affecting the working tree contents. (Martin Pool)
3356
* New ``bzr_remote_path`` configuration variable allows finer control of
3357
remote bzr locations than BZR_REMOTE_PATH environment variable.
3360
* New ``launchpad-login`` command to tell Bazaar your Launchpad
3361
user ID. This can then be used by other functions of the
3362
Launchpad plugin. (James Henstridge)
3366
* Commit in quiet mode is now slightly faster as the information to
3367
output is no longer calculated. (Ian Clatworthy)
3369
* Commit no longer checks for new text keys during insertion when the
3370
revision id was deterministically unique. (Robert Collins)
3372
* Committing a change which is not a merge and does not change the number of
3373
files in the tree is faster by utilising the data about whether files are
3374
changed to determine if the tree is unchanged rather than recalculating
3375
it at the end of the commit process. (Robert Collins)
3377
* Inventory serialisation no longer double-sha's the content.
3380
* Knit text reconstruction now avoids making copies of the lines list for
3381
interim texts when building a single text. The new ``apply_delta`` method
3382
on ``KnitContent`` aids this by allowing modification of the revision id
3383
such objects represent. (Robert Collins)
3385
* Pack indices are now partially parsed for specific key lookup using a
3386
bisection approach. (Robert Collins)
3388
* Partial commits are now approximately 40% faster by walking over the
3389
unselected current tree more efficiently. (Robert Collins)
3391
* XML inventory serialisation takes 20% less time while being stricter about
3392
the contents. (Robert Collins)
3394
* Graph ``heads()`` queries have been fixed to no longer access all history
3395
unnecessarily. (Robert Collins)
3399
* ``bzr+https://`` smart server across https now supported.
3400
(John Ferlito, Martin Pool, #128456)
3402
* Mutt is now a supported mail client; set ``mail_client=mutt`` in your
3403
bazaar.conf and ``send`` will use mutt. (Keir Mierle)
3405
* New option ``-c``/``--change`` for ``merge`` command for cherrypicking
3406
changes from one revision. (Alexander Belchenko, #141368)
3408
* Show encodings, locale and list of plugins in the traceback message.
3409
(Martin Pool, #63894)
3411
* Experimental directory formats can now be marked with
3412
``experimental = True`` during registration. (Ian Clatworthy)
3416
* New *Bazaar in Five Minutes* guide. (Matthew Revell)
3418
* The hooks reference documentation is now converted to html as expected.
3423
* Connection error reporting for the smart server has been fixed to
3424
display a user friendly message instead of a traceback.
3425
(Ian Clatworthy, #115601)
3427
* Make sure to use ``O_BINARY`` when opening files to check their
3428
sha1sum. (Alexander Belchenko, John Arbash Meinel, #153493)
3430
* Fix a problem with Win32 handling of the executable bit.
3431
(John Arbash Meinel, #149113)
3433
* ``bzr+ssh://`` and ``sftp://`` URLs that do not specify ports explicitly
3434
no longer assume that means port 22. This allows people using OpenSSH to
3435
override the default port in their ``~/.ssh/config`` if they wish. This
3436
fixes a bug introduced in bzr 0.91. (Andrew Bennetts, #146715)
3438
* Commands reporting exceptions can now be profiled and still have their
3439
data correctly dumped to a file. For example, a ``bzr commit`` with
3440
no changes still reports the operation as pointless but doing so no
3441
longer throws away the profiling data if this command is run with
3442
``--lsprof-file callgrind.out.ci`` say. (Ian Clatworthy)
3444
* Fallback to ftp when paramiko is not installed and sftp can't be used for
3445
``tests/commands`` so that the test suite is still usable without
3447
(Vincent Ladeuil, #59150)
3449
* Fix commit ordering in corner case. (Aaron Bentley, #94975)
3451
* Fix long standing bug in partial commit when there are renames
3452
left in tree. (Robert Collins, #140419)
3454
* Fix selftest semi-random noise during http related tests.
3455
(Vincent Ladeuil, #140614)
3457
* Fix typo in ftp.py making the reconnection fail on temporary errors.
3458
(Vincent Ladeuil, #154259)
3460
* Fix failing test by comparing real paths to cover the case where the TMPDIR
3461
contains a symbolic link.
3462
(Vincent Ladeuil, #141382).
3464
* Fix log against smart server branches that don't support tags.
3465
(James Westby, #140615)
3467
* Fix pycurl http implementation by defining error codes from
3468
pycurl instead of relying on an old curl definition.
3469
(Vincent Ladeuil, #147530)
3471
* Fix 'unprintable error' message when displaying BzrCheckError and
3472
some other exceptions on Python 2.5.
3473
(Martin Pool, #144633)
3475
* Fix ``Inventory.copy()`` and add test for it. (Jelmer Vernooij)
3477
* Handles default value for ListOption in cmd_commit.
3478
(Vincent Ladeuil, #140432)
3480
* HttpServer and FtpServer need to be closed properly or a listening socket
3482
(Vincent Ladeuil, #140055)
3484
* Monitor the .bzr directory created in the top level test
3485
directory to detect leaking tests.
3486
(Vincent Ladeuil, #147986)
3488
* The basename, not the full path, is now used when checking whether
3489
the profiling dump file begins with ``callgrind.out`` or not. This
3490
fixes a bug reported by Aaron Bentley on IRC. (Ian Clatworthy)
3492
* Trivial fix for invoking command ``reconfigure`` without arguments.
3495
* ``WorkingTree.rename_one`` will now raise an error if normalisation of the
3496
new path causes bzr to be unable to access the file. (Robert Collins)
3498
* Correctly detect a NoSuchFile when using a filezilla server. (Gary van der
3503
* ``bzrlib.index.GraphIndex`` now requires a size parameter to the
3504
constructor, for enabling bisection searches. (Robert Collins)
3506
* ``CommitBuilder.record_entry_contents`` now requires the root entry of a
3507
tree be supplied to it, previously failing to do so would trigger a
3508
deprecation warning. (Robert Collins)
3510
* ``KnitVersionedFile.add*`` will no longer cache added records even when
3511
enable_cache() has been called - the caching feature is now exclusively for
3512
reading existing data. (Robert Collins)
3514
* ``ReadOnlyLockError`` is deprecated; ``LockFailed`` is usually more
3515
appropriate. (Martin Pool)
3517
* Removed ``bzrlib.transport.TransportLogger`` - please see the new
3518
``trace+`` transport instead. (Robert Collins)
3520
* Removed previously deprecated varargs interface to ``TestCase.run_bzr`` and
3521
deprecated methods ``TestCase.capture`` and ``TestCase.run_bzr_captured``.
3524
* Removed previous deprecated ``basis_knit`` parameter to the
3525
``KnitVersionedFile`` constructor. (Robert Collins)
3527
* Special purpose method ``TestCase.run_bzr_decode`` is moved to the test_non_ascii
3528
class that needs it.
3531
* The class ``bzrlib.repofmt.knitrepo.KnitRepository3`` has been folded into
3532
``KnitRepository`` by parameters to the constructor. (Robert Collins)
3534
* The ``VersionedFile`` interface now allows content checks to be bypassed
3535
by supplying check_content=False. This saves nearly 30% of the minimum
3536
cost to store a version of a file. (Robert Collins)
3538
* Tree's with bad state such as files with no length or sha will no longer
3539
be silently accepted by the repository XML serialiser. To serialise
3540
inventories without such data, pass working=True to write_inventory.
3543
* ``VersionedFile.fix_parents`` has been removed as a harmful API.
3544
``VersionedFile.join`` will no longer accept different parents on either
3545
side of a join - it will either ignore them, or error, depending on the
3546
implementation. See notes when upgrading for more information.
3551
* ``bzrlib.transport.Transport.put_file`` now returns the number of bytes
3552
put by the method call, to allow avoiding stat-after-write or
3553
housekeeping in callers. (Robert Collins)
3555
* ``bzrlib.xml_serializer.Serializer`` is now responsible for checking that
3556
mandatory attributes are present on serialisation and deserialisation.
3557
This fixes some holes in API usage and allows better separation between
3558
physical storage and object serialisation. (Robert Collins)
3560
* New class ``bzrlib.errors.InternalBzrError`` which is just a convenient
3561
shorthand for deriving from BzrError and setting internal_error = True.
3564
* New method ``bzrlib.mutabletree.update_to_one_parent_via_delta`` for
3565
moving the state of a parent tree to a new version via a delta rather than
3566
a complete replacement tree. (Robert Collins)
3568
* New method ``bzrlib.osutils.minimum_path_selection`` useful for removing
3569
duplication from user input, when a user mentions both a path and an item
3570
contained within that path. (Robert Collins)
3572
* New method ``bzrlib.repository.Repository.is_write_locked`` useful for
3573
determining if a repository is write locked. (Robert Collins)
3575
* New method on ``bzrlib.tree.Tree`` ``path_content_summary`` provides a
3576
tuple containing the key information about a path for commit processing
3577
to complete. (Robert Collins)
3579
* New method on xml serialisers, write_inventory_to_lines, which matches the
3580
API used by knits for adding content. (Robert Collins)
3582
* New module ``bzrlib.bisect_multi`` with generic multiple-bisection-at-once
3583
logic, currently only available for byte-based lookup
3584
(``bisect_multi_bytes``). (Robert Collins)
3586
* New helper ``bzrlib.tuned_gzip.bytes_to_gzip`` which takes a byte string
3587
and returns a gzipped version of the same. This is used to avoid a bunch
3588
of api friction during adding of knit hunks. (Robert Collins)
3590
* New parameter on ``bzrlib.transport.Transport.readv``
3591
``adjust_for_latency`` which changes readv from returning strictly the
3592
requested data to inserted return larger ranges and in forward read order
3593
to reduce the effect of network latency. (Robert Collins)
3595
* New parameter yield_parents on ``Inventory.iter_entries_by_dir`` which
3596
causes the parents of a selected id to be returned recursively, so all the
3597
paths from the root down to each element of selected_file_ids are
3598
returned. (Robert Collins)
3600
* Knit joining has been enhanced to support plain to annotated conversion
3601
and annotated to plain conversion. (Ian Clatworthy)
3603
* The CommitBuilder method ``record_entry_contents`` now returns summary
3604
information about the effect of the commit on the repository. This tuple
3605
contains an inventory delta item if the entry changed from the basis, and a
3606
boolean indicating whether a new file graph node was recorded.
3609
* The python path used in the Makefile can now be overridden.
3610
(Andrew Bennetts, Ian Clatworthy)
3614
* New transport implementation ``trace+`` which is useful for testing,
3615
logging activity taken to its _activity attribute. (Robert Collins)
3617
* When running bzr commands within the test suite, internal exceptions are
3618
not caught and reported in the usual way, but rather allowed to propagate
3619
up and be visible to the test suite. A new API ``run_bzr_catch_user_errors``
3620
makes this behavior available to other users.
3623
* New method ``TestCase.call_catch_warnings`` for testing methods that
3624
raises a Python warning. (Martin Pool)
3632
* Print a warning instead of aborting the ``python setup.py install``
3633
process if building of a C extension is not possible.
3634
(Lukáš Lalinský, Alexander Belchenko)
3636
* Fix commit ordering in corner case (Aaron Bentley, #94975)
3638
* Fix ''bzr info bzr://host/'' and other operations on ''bzr://' URLs with
3639
an implicit port. We were incorrectly raising PathNotChild due to
3640
inconsistent treatment of the ''_port'' attribute on the Transport object.
3641
(Andrew Bennetts, #133965)
3643
* Make RemoteRepository.sprout cope gracefully with servers that don't
3644
support the ``Repository.tarball`` request.
3648
bzr 0.91rc2 2007-09-11
3649
----------------------
3651
* Replaced incorrect tarball for previous release; a debug statement was left
3652
in bzrlib/remote.py.
3655
bzr 0.91rc1 2007-09-11
3656
----------------------
3660
* The default branch and repository format has changed to
3661
``dirstate-tags``, so tag commands are active by default.
3662
This format is compatible with Bazaar 0.15 and later.
3663
This incidentally fixes bug #126141.
3666
* ``--quiet`` or ``-q`` is no longer a global option. If present, it
3667
must now appear after the command name. Scripts doing things like
3668
``bzr -q missing`` need to be rewritten as ``bzr missing -q``.
3673
* New option ``--author`` in ``bzr commit`` to specify the author of the
3674
change, if it's different from the committer. ``bzr log`` and
3675
``bzr annotate`` display the author instead of the committer.
3678
* In addition to global options and command specific options, a set of
3679
standard options are now supported. Standard options are legal for
3680
all commands. The initial set of standard options are:
3682
* ``--help`` or ``-h`` - display help message
3683
* ``--verbose`` or ``-v`` - display additional information
3684
* ``--quiet`` or ``-q`` - only output warnings and errors.
3686
Unlike global options, standard options can be used in aliases and
3687
may have command-specific help. (Ian Clatworthy)
3689
* Verbosity level processing has now been unified. If ``--verbose``
3690
or ``-v`` is specified on the command line multiple times, the
3691
verbosity level is made positive the first time then increased.
3692
If ``--quiet`` or ``-q`` is specified on the command line
3693
multiple times, the verbosity level is made negative the first
3694
time then decreased. To get the default verbosity level of zero,
3695
either specify none of the above , ``--no-verbose`` or ``--no-quiet``.
3696
Note that most commands currently ignore the magnitude of the
3697
verbosity level but do respect *quiet vs normal vs verbose* when
3698
generating output. (Ian Clatworthy)
3700
* ``Branch.hooks`` now supports ``pre_commit`` hook. The hook's signature
3701
is documented in BranchHooks constructor. (Nam T. Nguyen, #102747)
3703
* New ``Repository.stream_knit_data_for_revisions`` request added to the
3704
network protocol for greatly reduced roundtrips when retrieving a set of
3705
revisions. (Andrew Bennetts)
3709
* ``bzr plugins`` now lists the version number for each plugin in square
3710
brackets after the path. (Robert Collins, #125421)
3712
* Pushing, pulling and branching branches with subtree references was not
3713
copying the subtree weave, preventing the file graph from being accessed
3714
and causing errors in commits in clones. (Robert Collins)
3716
* Suppress warning "integer argument expected, got float" from Paramiko,
3717
which sometimes caused false test failures. (Martin Pool)
3719
* Fix bug in bundle 4 that could cause attempts to write data to wrong
3720
versionedfile. (Aaron Bentley)
3722
* Diffs generated using "diff -p" no longer break the patch parser.
3725
* get_transport treats an empty possible_transports list the same as a non-
3726
empty one. (Aaron Bentley)
3728
* patch verification for merge directives is reactivated, and works with
3729
CRLF and CR files. (Aaron Bentley)
3731
* Accept ..\ as a path in revision specifiers. This fixes for example
3732
"-r branch:..\other-branch" on Windows. (Lukáš Lalinský)
3734
* ``BZR_PLUGIN_PATH`` may now contain trailing slashes.
3735
(Blake Winton, #129299)
3737
* man page no longer lists hidden options (#131667, Aaron Bentley)
3739
* ``uncommit --help`` now explains the -r option adequately. (Daniel
3742
* Error messages are now better formatted with parameters (such as
3743
filenames) quoted when necessary. This avoids confusion when directory
3744
names ending in a '.' at the end of messages were confused with a
3745
full stop that may or not have been there. (Daniel Watkins, #129791)
3747
* Fix ``status FILE -r X..Y``. (Lukáš Lalinský)
3749
* If a particular command is an alias, ``help`` will show the alias
3750
instead of claiming there is no help for said alias. (Daniel Watkins,
3753
* TreeTransform-based operations, like pull, merge, revert, and branch,
3754
now roll back if they encounter an error. (Aaron Bentley, #67699)
3756
* ``bzr commit`` now exits cleanly if a character unsupported by the
3757
current encoding is used in the commit message. (Daniel Watkins,
3760
* bzr send uses default values for ranges when only half of an elipsis
3761
is specified ("-r..5" or "-r5.."). (#61685, Aaron Bentley)
3763
* Avoid trouble when Windows ssh calls itself 'plink' but no plink
3764
binary is present. (Martin Albisetti, #107155)
3766
* ``bzr remove`` should remove clean subtrees. Now it will remove (without
3767
needing ``--force``) subtrees that contain no files with text changes or
3768
modified files. With ``--force`` it removes the subtree regardless of
3769
text changes or unknown files. Directories with renames in or out (but
3770
not changed otherwise) will now be removed without needing ``--force``.
3771
Unknown ignored files will be deleted without needing ``--force``.
3772
(Marius Kruger, #111665)
3774
* When two plugins conflict, the source of both the losing and now the
3775
winning definition is shown. (Konstantin Mikhaylov, #5454)
3777
* When committing to a branch, the location being committed to is
3778
displayed. (Daniel Watkins, #52479)
3780
* ``bzr --version`` takes care about encoding of stdout, especially
3781
when output is redirected. (Alexander Belchenko, #131100)
3783
* Prompt for an ftp password if none is provided.
3784
(Vincent Ladeuil, #137044)
3786
* Reuse bound branch associated transport to avoid multiple
3788
(Vincent Ladeuil, #128076, #131396)
3790
* Overwrite conflicting tags by ``push`` and ``pull`` if the
3791
``--overwrite`` option is specified. (Lukáš Lalinský, #93947)
3793
* In checkouts, tags are copied into the master branch when created,
3794
changed or deleted, and are copied into the checkout when it is
3795
updated. (Martin Pool, #93856, #93860)
3797
* Print a warning instead of aborting the ``python setup.py install``
3798
process if building of a C extension is not possible.
3799
(Lukáš Lalinský, Alexander Belchenko)
3803
* Add the option "--show-diff" to the commit command in order to display
3804
the diff during the commit log creation. (Goffredo Baroncelli)
3806
* ``pull`` and ``merge`` are much faster at installing bundle format 4.
3809
* ``pull -v`` no longer includes deltas, making it much faster.
3812
* ``send`` now sends the directive as an attachment by default.
3813
(Aaron Bentley, Lukáš Lalinský, Alexander Belchenko)
3815
* Documentation updates (Martin Albisetti)
3817
* Help on debug flags is now included in ``help global-options``.
3818
(Daniel Watkins, #124853)
3820
* Parameters passed on the command line are checked to ensure they are
3821
supported by the encoding in use. (Daniel Watkins)
3823
* The compression used within the bzr repository has changed from zlib
3824
level 9 to the zlib default level. This improves commit performance with
3825
only a small increase in space used (and in some cases a reduction in
3826
space). (Robert Collins)
3828
* Initial commit no longer SHAs files twice and now reuses the path
3829
rather than looking it up again, making it faster.
3832
* New option ``-c``/``--change`` for ``diff`` and ``status`` to show
3833
changes in one revision. (Lukáš Lalinský)
3835
* If versioned files match a given ignore pattern, a warning is now
3836
given. (Daniel Watkins, #48623)
3838
* ``bzr status`` now has -S as a short name for --short and -V as a
3839
short name for --versioned. These have been added to assist users
3840
migrating from Subversion: ``bzr status -SV`` is now like
3841
``svn status -q``. (Daniel Watkins, #115990)
3843
* Added C implementation of ``PatienceSequenceMatcher``, which is about
3844
10x faster than the Python version. This speeds up commands that
3845
need file diffing, such as ``bzr commit`` or ``bzr diff``.
3848
* HACKING has been extended with a large section on core developer tasks.
3851
* Add ``branches`` and ``standalone-trees`` as online help topics and
3852
include them as Concepts within the User Reference.
3853
(Paul Moore, Ian Clatworthy)
3855
* ``check`` can detect versionedfile parent references that are
3856
inconsistent with revision and inventory info, and ``reconcile`` can fix
3857
them. These faulty references were generated by 0.8-era releases,
3858
so repositories which were manipulated by old bzrs should be
3859
checked, and possibly reconciled ASAP. (Aaron Bentley, Andrew Bennetts)
3863
* ``Branch.append_revision`` is removed altogether; please use
3864
``Branch.set_last_revision_info`` instead. (Martin Pool)
3866
* CommitBuilder now advertises itself as requiring the root entry to be
3867
supplied. This only affects foreign repository implementations which reuse
3868
CommitBuilder directly and have changed record_entry_contents to require
3869
that the root not be supplied. This should be precisely zero plugins
3870
affected. (Robert Collins)
3872
* The ``add_lines`` methods on ``VersionedFile`` implementations has changed
3873
its return value to include the sha1 and length of the inserted text. This
3874
allows the avoidance of double-sha1 calculations during commit.
3877
* ``Transport.should_cache`` has been removed. It was not called in the
3878
previous release. (Martin Pool)
3882
* Tests may now raise TestNotApplicable to indicate they shouldn't be
3883
run in a particular scenario. (Martin Pool)
3885
* New function multiply_tests_from_modules to give a simpler interface
3886
to test parameterization. (Martin Pool, Robert Collins)
3888
* ``Transport.should_cache`` has been removed. It was not called in the
3889
previous release. (Martin Pool)
3891
* NULL_REVISION is returned to indicate the null revision, not None.
3894
* Use UTF-8 encoded StringIO for log tests to avoid failures on
3895
non-ASCII committer names. (Lukáš Lalinský)
3899
* ``bzrlib.plugin.all_plugins`` has been deprecated in favour of
3900
``bzrlib.plugin.plugins()`` which returns PlugIn objects that provide
3901
useful functionality for determining the path of a plugin, its tests, and
3902
its version information. (Robert Collins)
3904
* Add the option user_encoding to the function 'show_diff_trees()'
3905
in order to move the user encoding at the UI level. (Goffredo Baroncelli)
3907
* Add the function make_commit_message_template_encoded() and the function
3908
edit_commit_message_encoded() which handle encoded strings.
3909
This is done in order to mix the commit messages (which is a unicode
3910
string), and the diff which is a raw string. (Goffredo Baroncelli)
3912
* CommitBuilder now defaults to using add_lines_with_ghosts, reducing
3913
overhead on non-weave repositories which don't require all parents to be
3914
present. (Robert Collins)
3916
* Deprecated method ``find_previous_heads`` on
3917
``bzrlib.inventory.InventoryEntry``. This has been superseded by the use
3918
of ``parent_candidates`` and a separate heads check via the repository
3919
API. (Robert Collins)
3921
* New trace function ``mutter_callsite`` will print out a subset of the
3922
stack to the log, which can be useful for gathering debug details.
3925
* ``bzrlib.pack.ContainerWriter`` now tracks how many records have been
3926
added via a public attribute records_written. (Robert Collins)
3928
* New method ``bzrlib.transport.Transport.get_recommended_page_size``.
3929
This provides a hint to users of transports as to the reasonable
3930
minimum data to read. In principle this can take latency and
3931
bandwidth into account on a per-connection basis, but for now it
3932
just has hard coded values based on the url. (e.g. http:// has a large
3933
page size, file:// has a small one.) (Robert Collins)
3935
* New method on ``bzrlib.transport.Transport`` ``open_write_stream`` allows
3936
incremental addition of data to a file without requiring that all the
3937
data be buffered in memory. (Robert Collins)
3939
* New methods on ``bzrlib.knit.KnitVersionedFile``:
3940
``get_data_stream(versions)``, ``insert_data_stream(stream)`` and
3941
``get_format_signature()``. These provide some infrastructure for
3942
efficiently streaming the knit data for a set of versions over the smart
3945
* Knits with no annotation cache still produce correct annotations.
3948
* Three new methods have been added to ``bzrlib.trace``:
3949
``set_verbosity_level``, ``get_verbosity_level`` and ``is_verbose``.
3950
``set_verbosity_level`` expects a numeric value: negative for quiet,
3951
zero for normal, positive for verbose. The size of the number can be
3952
used to determine just how quiet or verbose the application should be.
3953
The existing ``be_quiet`` and ``is_quiet`` routines have been
3954
integrated into this new scheme. (Ian Clatworthy)
3956
* Options can now be delcared with a ``custom_callback`` parameter. If
3957
set, this routine is called after the option is processed. This feature
3958
is now used by the standard options ``verbose`` and ``quiet`` so that
3959
setting one implicitly resets the other. (Ian Clatworthy)
3961
* Rather than declaring a new option from scratch in order to provide
3962
custom help, a centrally registered option can be decorated using the
3963
new ``bzrlib.Option.custom_help`` routine. In particular, this routine
3964
is useful when declaring better help for the ``verbose`` and ``quiet``
3965
standard options as the base definition of these is now more complex
3966
than before thanks to their use of a custom callback. (Ian Clatworthy)
3968
* Tree._iter_changes(specific_file=[]) now iterates through no files,
3969
instead of iterating through all files. None is used to iterate through
3970
all files. (Aaron Bentley)
3972
* WorkingTree.revert() now accepts None to revert all files. The use of
3973
[] to revert all files is deprecated. (Aaron Bentley)
3981
* Documentation is now organized into multiple directories with a level
3982
added for different languages or locales. Added the Mini Tutorial
3983
and Quick Start Summary (en) documents from the Wiki, improving the
3984
content and readability of the former. Formatted NEWS as Release Notes
3985
complete with a Table of Conents, one heading per release. Moved the
3986
Developer Guide into the main document catalog and provided a link
3987
from the developer document catalog back to the main one.
3988
(Ian Clatworthy, Sabin Iacob, Alexander Belchenko)
3993
* The static convenience method ``BzrDir.create_repository``
3994
is deprecated. Callers should instead create a ``BzrDir`` instance
3995
and call ``create_repository`` on that. (Martin Pool)
3998
bzr 0.90rc1 2007-08-14
3999
----------------------
4003
* ``bzr init`` should connect to the remote location one time only. We
4004
have been connecting several times because we forget to pass around the
4005
Transport object. This modifies ``BzrDir.create_branch_convenience``,
4006
so that we can give it the Transport we already have.
4007
(John Arbash Meinel, Vincent Ladeuil, #111702)
4009
* Get rid of sftp connection cache (get rid of the FTP one too).
4010
(Vincent Ladeuil, #43731)
4012
* bzr branch {local|remote} remote don't try to create a working tree
4014
(Vincent Ladeuil, #112173)
4016
* All identified multiple connections for a single bzr command have been
4017
fixed. See bzrlib/tests/commands directory.
4020
* ``bzr rm`` now does not insist on ``--force`` to delete files that
4021
have been renamed but not otherwise modified. (Marius Kruger,
4024
* ``bzr selftest --bench`` no longer emits deprecation warnings
4027
* ``bzr status`` now honours FILE parameters for conflict lists
4028
(Aaron Bentley, #127606)
4030
* ``bzr checkout`` now honours -r when reconstituting a working tree.
4031
It also honours -r 0. (Aaron Bentley, #127708)
4033
* ``bzr add *`` no more fails on Windows if working tree contains
4034
non-ascii file names. (Kuno Meyer, #127361)
4036
* allow ``easy_install bzr`` runs without fatal errors.
4037
(Alexander Belchenko, #125521)
4039
* Graph._filter_candidate_lca does not raise KeyError if a candidate
4040
is eliminated just before it would normally be examined. (Aaron Bentley)
4042
* SMTP connection failures produce a nice message, not a traceback.
4047
* Don't show "dots" progress indicators when run non-interactively, such
4048
as from cron. (Martin Pool)
4050
* ``info`` now formats locations more nicely and lists "submit" and
4051
"public" branches (Aaron Bentley)
4053
* New ``pack`` command that will trigger database compression within
4054
the repository (Robert Collins)
4056
* Implement ``_KnitIndex._load_data`` in a pyrex extension. The pyrex
4057
version is approximately 2-3x faster at parsing a ``.kndx`` file.
4058
Which yields a measurable improvement for commands which have to
4059
read from the repository, such as a 1s => 0.75s improvement in
4060
``bzr diff`` when there are changes to be shown. (John Arbash Meinel)
4062
* Merge is now faster. Depending on the scenario, it can be more than 2x
4063
faster. (Aaron Bentley)
4065
* Give a clearer warning, and allow ``python setup.py install`` to
4066
succeed even if pyrex is not available.
4067
(John Arbash Meinel)
4069
* ``DirState._read_dirblocks`` now has an optional Pyrex
4070
implementation. This improves the speed of any command that has to
4071
read the entire DirState. (``diff``, ``status``, etc, improve by
4073
``bisect_dirblocks`` has also been improved, which helps all
4074
``_get_entry`` type calls (whenever we are searching for a
4075
particular entry in the in-memory DirState).
4076
(John Arbash Meinel)
4078
* ``bzr pull`` and ``bzr push`` no longer do a complete walk of the
4079
branch revision history for ui display unless -v is supplied.
4082
* ``bzr log -rA..B`` output shifted to the left margin if the log only
4083
contains merge revisions. (Kent Gibson)
4085
* The ``plugins`` command is now public with improved help.
4088
* New bundle and merge directive formats are faster to generate, and
4090
* Annotate merge now works when there are local changes. (Aaron Bentley)
4092
* Commit now only shows the progress in terms of directories instead of
4093
entries. (Ian Clatworthy)
4095
* Fix ``KnitRepository.get_revision_graph`` to not request the graph 2
4096
times. This makes ``get_revision_graph`` 2x faster. (John Arbash
4099
* Fix ``VersionedFile.get_graph()`` to avoid using
4100
``set.difference_update(other)``, which has bad scaling when
4101
``other`` is large. This improves ``VF.get_graph([version_id])`` for
4102
a 12.5k graph from 2.9s down to 200ms. (John Arbash Meinel)
4104
* The ``--lsprof-file`` option now generates output for KCacheGrind if
4105
the file starts with ``callgrind.out``. This matches the default file
4106
filtering done by KCacheGrind's Open Dialog. (Ian Clatworthy)
4108
* Fix ``bzr update`` to avoid an unnecessary
4109
``branch.get_master_branch`` call, which avoids 1 extra connection
4110
to the remote server. (Partial fix for #128076, John Arbash Meinel)
4112
* Log errors from the smart server in the trace file, to make debugging
4113
test failures (and live failures!) easier. (Andrew Bennetts)
4115
* The HTML version of the man page has been superceded by a more
4116
comprehensive manual called the Bazaar User Reference. This manual
4117
is completed generated from the online help topics. As part of this
4118
change, limited reStructuredText is now explicitly supported in help
4119
topics and command help with 'unnatural' markup being removed prior
4120
to display by the online help or inclusion in the man page.
4123
* HTML documentation now use files extension ``*.html``
4124
(Alexander Belchenko)
4126
* The cache of ignore definitions is now cleared in WorkingTree.unlock()
4127
so that changes to .bzrignore aren't missed. (#129694, Daniel Watkins)
4129
* ``bzr selftest --strict`` fails if there are any missing features or
4130
expected test failures. (Daniel Watkins, #111914)
4132
* Link to registration survey added to README. (Ian Clatworthy)
4134
* Windows standalone installer show link to registration survey
4135
when installation finished. (Alexander Belchenko)
4139
* Deprecated dictionary ``bzrlib.option.SHORT_OPTIONS`` removed.
4140
Options are now required to provide a help string and it must
4141
comply with the style guide by being one or more sentences with an
4142
initial capital and final period. (Martin Pool)
4144
* KnitIndex.get_parents now returns tuples. (Robert Collins)
4146
* Ancient unused ``Repository.text_store`` attribute has been removed.
4149
* The ``bzrlib.pack`` interface has changed to use tuples of bytestrings
4150
rather than just bytestrings, making it easier to represent multiple
4151
element names. As this interface was not used by any internal facilities
4152
since it was introduced in 0.18 no API compatibility is being preserved.
4153
The serialised form of these packs is identical with 0.18 when a single
4154
element tuple is in use. (Robert Collins)
4158
* merge now uses ``iter_changes`` to calculate changes, which makes room for
4159
future performance increases. It is also more consistent with other
4160
operations that perform comparisons, and reduces reliance on
4161
Tree.inventory. (Aaron Bentley)
4163
* Refactoring of transport classes connected to a remote server.
4164
ConnectedTransport is a new class that serves as a basis for all
4165
transports needing to connect to a remote server. transport.split_url
4166
have been deprecated, use the static method on the object instead. URL
4167
tests have been refactored too.
4170
* Better connection sharing for ConnectedTransport objects.
4171
transport.get_transport() now accepts a 'possible_transports' parameter.
4172
If a newly requested transport can share a connection with one of the
4176
* Most functions now accept ``bzrlib.revision.NULL_REVISION`` to indicate
4177
the null revision, and consider using ``None`` for this purpose
4178
deprecated. (Aaron Bentley)
4180
* New ``index`` module with abstract index functionality. This will be
4181
used during the planned changes in the repository layer. Currently the
4182
index layer provides a graph aware immutable index, a builder for the
4183
same index type to allow creating them, and finally a composer for
4184
such indices to allow the use of many indices in a single query. The
4185
index performance is not optimised, however the API is stable to allow
4186
development on top of the index. (Robert Collins)
4188
* ``bzrlib.dirstate.cmp_by_dirs`` can be used to compare two paths by
4189
their directory sections. This is equivalent to comparing
4190
``path.split('/')``, only without having to split the paths.
4191
This has a Pyrex implementation available.
4192
(John Arbash Meinel)
4194
* New transport decorator 'unlistable+' which disables the list_dir
4195
functionality for testing.
4197
* Deprecated ``change_entry`` in transform.py. (Ian Clatworthy)
4199
* RevisionTree.get_weave is now deprecated. Tree.plan_merge is now used
4200
for performing annotate-merge. (Aaron Bentley)
4202
* New EmailMessage class to create email messages. (Adeodato Simó)
4204
* Unused functions on the private interface KnitIndex have been removed.
4207
* New ``knit.KnitGraphIndex`` which provides a ``KnitIndex`` layered on top
4208
of a ``index.GraphIndex``. (Robert Collins)
4210
* New ``knit.KnitVersionedFile.iter_parents`` method that allows querying
4211
the parents of many knit nodes at once, reducing round trips to the
4212
underlying index. (Robert Collins)
4214
* Graph now has an is_ancestor method, various bits use it.
4217
* The ``-Dhpss`` flag now includes timing information. As well as
4218
logging when a new connection is opened. (John Arbash Meinel)
4220
* ``bzrlib.pack.ContainerWriter`` now returns an offset, length tuple to
4221
callers when inserting data, allowing generation of readv style access
4222
during pack creation, without needing a separate pass across the output
4223
pack to gather such details. (Robert Collins)
4225
* ``bzrlib.pack.make_readv_reader`` allows readv based access to pack
4226
files that are stored on a transport. (Robert Collins)
4228
* New ``Repository.has_same_location`` method that reports if two
4229
repository objects refer to the same repository (although with some risk
4230
of false negatives). (Andrew Bennetts)
4232
* InterTree.compare now passes require_versioned on correctly.
4235
* New methods on Repository - ``start_write_group``,
4236
``commit_write_group``, ``abort_write_group`` and ``is_in_write_group`` -
4237
which provide a clean hook point for transactional Repositories - ones
4238
where all the data for a fetch or commit needs to be made atomically
4239
available in one step. This allows the write lock to remain while making
4240
a series of data insertions. (e.g. data conversion). (Robert Collins)
4242
* In ``bzrlib.knit`` the internal interface has been altered to use
4243
3-tuples (index, pos, length) rather than two-tuples (pos, length) to
4244
describe where data in a knit is, allowing knits to be split into
4245
many files. (Robert Collins)
4247
* ``bzrlib.knit._KnitData`` split into cache management and physical access
4248
with two access classes - ``_PackAccess`` and ``_KnitAccess`` defined.
4249
The former provides access into a .pack file, and the latter provides the
4250
current production repository form of .knit files. (Robert Collins)
4254
* Remove selftest ``--clean-output``, ``--numbered-dirs`` and
4255
``--keep-output`` options, which are obsolete now that tests
4256
are done within directories in $TMPDIR. (Martin Pool)
4258
* The SSH_AUTH_SOCK environment variable is now reset to avoid
4259
interaction with any running ssh agents. (Jelmer Vernooij, #125955)
4261
* run_bzr_subprocess handles parameters the same way as run_bzr:
4262
either a string or a list of strings should be passed as the first
4263
parameter. Varargs-style parameters are deprecated. (Aaron Bentley)
4267
--------------------
4271
* Fix 'bzr add' crash under Win32 (Kuno Meyer)
4274
bzr 0.18rc1 2007-07-10
4275
-----------------------
4279
* Do not suppress pipe errors, etc. in non-display commands
4280
(Alexander Belchenko, #87178)
4282
* Display a useful error message when the user requests to annotate
4283
a file that is not present in the specified revision.
4284
(James Westby, #122656)
4286
* Commands that use status flags now have a reference to 'help
4287
status-flags'. (Daniel Watkins, #113436)
4289
* Work around python-2.4.1 inhability to correctly parse the
4290
authentication header.
4291
(Vincent Ladeuil, #121889)
4293
* Use exact encoding for merge directives. (Adeodato Simó, #120591)
4295
* Fix tempfile permissions error in smart server tar bundling under
4296
Windows. (Martin _, #119330)
4298
* Fix detection of directory entries in the inventory. (James Westby)
4300
* Fix handling of http code 400: Bad Request When issuing too many ranges.
4301
(Vincent Ladeuil, #115209)
4303
* Issue a CONNECT request when connecting to an https server
4304
via a proxy to enable SSL tunneling.
4305
(Vincent Ladeuil, #120678)
4307
* Fix ``bzr log -r`` to support selecting merge revisions, both
4308
individually and as part of revision ranges.
4309
(Kent Gibson, #4663)
4311
* Don't leave cruft behind when failing to acquire a lockdir.
4312
(Martin Pool, #109169)
4314
* Don't use the '-f' strace option during tests.
4315
(Vincent Ladeuil, #102019).
4317
* Warn when setting ``push_location`` to a value that will be masked by
4318
locations.conf. (Aaron Bentley, #122286)
4320
* Fix commit ordering in corner case (Aaron Bentley, #94975)
4322
* Make annotate behave in a non-ASCII world (Adeodato Simó).
4326
* The --lsprof-file option now dumps a text rendering of the profiling
4327
information if the filename ends in ".txt". It will also convert the
4328
profiling information to a format suitable for KCacheGrind if the
4329
output filename ends in ".callgrind". Fixes to the lsprofcalltree
4330
conversion process by Jean Paul Calderone and Itamar were also merged.
4331
See http://ddaa.net/blog/python/lsprof-calltree. (Ian Clatworthy)
4333
* ``info`` now defaults to non-verbose mode, displaying only paths and
4334
abbreviated format info. ``info -v`` displays all the information
4335
formerly displayed by ``info``. (Aaron Bentley, Adeodato Simó)
4337
* ``bzr missing`` now has better option names ``--this`` and ``--other``.
4340
* The internal ``weave-list`` command has become ``versionedfile-list``,
4341
and now lists knits as well as weaves. (Aaron Bentley)
4343
* Automatic merge base selection uses a faster algorithm that chooses
4344
better bases in criss-cross merge situations (Aaron Bentley)
4346
* Progress reporting in ``commit`` has been improved. The various logical
4347
stages are now reported on as follows, namely:
4349
* Collecting changes [Entry x/y] - Stage n/m
4350
* Saving data locally - Stage n/m
4351
* Uploading data to master branch - Stage n/m
4352
* Updating the working tree - Stage n/m
4353
* Running post commit hooks - Stage n/m
4355
If there is no master branch, the 3rd stage is omitted and the total
4356
number of stages is adjusted accordingly.
4358
Each hook that is run after commit is listed with a name (as hooks
4359
can be slow it is useful feedback).
4360
(Ian Clatworthy, Robert Collins)
4362
* Various operations that are now faster due to avoiding unnecessary
4363
topological sorts. (Aaron Bentley)
4365
* Make merge directives robust against broken bundles. (Aaron Bentley)
4367
* The lsprof filename note is emitted via trace.note(), not standard
4368
output. (Aaron Bentley)
4370
* ``bzrlib`` now exports explicit API compatibility information to assist
4371
library users and plugins. See the ``bzrlib.api`` module for details.
4374
* Remove unnecessary lock probes when acquiring a lockdir.
4377
* ``bzr --version`` now shows the location of the bzr log file, which
4378
is especially useful on Windows. (Martin Pool)
4380
* -D now supports hooks to get debug tracing of hooks (though its currently
4381
minimal in nature). (Robert Collins)
4383
* Long log format reports deltas on merge revisions.
4384
(John Arbash Meinel, Kent Gibson)
4386
* Make initial push over ftp more resilient. (John Arbash Meinel)
4388
* Print a summary of changes for update just like pull does.
4389
(Daniel Watkins, #113990)
4391
* Add a -Dhpss option to trace smart protocol requests and responses.
4396
* Testing cleanups -
4397
``bzrlib.repository.RepositoryTestProviderAdapter`` has been moved
4398
to ``bzrlib.tests.repository_implementations``;
4399
``bzrlib.repository.InterRepositoryTestProviderAdapter`` has been moved
4400
to ``bzrlib.tests.interrepository_implementations``;
4401
``bzrlib.transport.TransportTestProviderAdapter`` has moved to
4402
``bzrlib.tests.test_transport_implementations``.
4403
``bzrlib.branch.BranchTestProviderAdapter`` has moved to
4404
``bzrlib.tests.branch_implementations``.
4405
``bzrlib.bzrdir.BzrDirTestProviderAdapter`` has moved to
4406
``bzrlib.tests.bzrdir_implementations``.
4407
``bzrlib.versionedfile.InterVersionedFileTestProviderAdapter`` has moved
4408
to ``bzrlib.tests.interversionedfile_implementations``.
4409
``bzrlib.store.revision.RevisionStoreTestProviderAdapter`` has moved to
4410
``bzrlib.tests.revisionstore_implementations``.
4411
``bzrlib.workingtree.WorkingTreeTestProviderAdapter`` has moved to
4412
``bzrlib.tests.workingtree_implementations``.
4413
These changes are an API break in the testing infrastructure only.
4416
* Relocate TestCaseWithRepository to be more central. (Robert Collins)
4418
* ``bzrlib.add.smart_add_tree`` will no longer perform glob expansion on
4419
win32. Callers of the function should do this and use the new
4420
``MutableTree.smart_add`` method instead. (Robert Collins)
4422
* ``bzrlib.add.glob_expand_for_win32`` is now
4423
``bzrlib.win32utils.glob_expand``. (Robert Collins)
4425
* ``bzrlib.add.FastPath`` is now private and moved to
4426
``bzrlib.mutabletree._FastPath``. (Robert Collins, Martin Pool)
4428
* ``LockDir.wait`` removed. (Martin Pool)
4430
* The ``SmartServer`` hooks API has changed for the ``server_started`` and
4431
``server_stopped`` hooks. The first parameter is now an iterable of
4432
backing URLs rather than a single URL. This is to reflect that many
4433
URLs may map to the external URL of the server. E.g. the server interally
4434
may have a chrooted URL but also the local file:// URL will be at the
4435
same location. (Robert Collins)
4439
* New SMTPConnection class to unify email handling. (Adeodato Simó)
4441
* Fix documentation of BzrError. (Adeodato Simó)
4443
* Make BzrBadParameter an internal error. (Adeodato Simó)
4445
* Remove use of 'assert False' to raise an exception unconditionally.
4448
* Give a cleaner error when failing to decode knit index entry.
4451
* TreeConfig would mistakenly search the top level when asked for options
4452
from a section. It now respects the section argument and only
4453
searches the specified section. (James Westby)
4455
* Improve ``make api-docs`` output. (John Arbash Meinel)
4457
* Use os.lstat rather than os.stat for osutils.make_readonly and
4458
osutils.make_writeable. This makes the difftools plugin more
4459
robust when dangling symlinks are found. (Elliot Murphy)
4461
* New ``-Dlock`` option to log (to ~/.bzr.log) information on when
4462
lockdirs are taken or released. (Martin Pool)
4464
* ``bzrlib`` Hooks are now nameable using ``Hooks.name_hook``. This
4465
allows a nicer UI when hooks are running as the current hook can
4466
be displayed. (Robert Collins)
4468
* ``Transport.get`` has had its interface made more clear for ease of use.
4469
Retrieval of a directory must now fail with either 'PathError' at open
4470
time, or raise 'ReadError' on a read. (Robert Collins)
4472
* New method ``_maybe_expand_globs`` on the ``Command`` class for
4473
dealing with unexpanded glob lists - e.g. on the win32 platform. This
4474
was moved from ``bzrlib.add._prepare_file_list``. (Robert Collins)
4476
* ``bzrlib.add.smart_add`` and ``bzrlib.add.smart_add_tree`` are now
4477
deprecated in favour of ``MutableTree.smart_add``. (Robert Collins,
4480
* New method ``external_url`` on Transport for obtaining the url to
4481
hand to external processes. (Robert Collins)
4483
* Teach windows installers to build pyrex/C extensions.
4484
(Alexander Belchenko)
4488
* Removed the ``--keep-output`` option from selftest and clean up test
4489
directories as they're used. This reduces the IO load from
4490
running the test suite and cuts the time by about half.
4491
(Andrew Bennetts, Martin Pool)
4493
* Add scenarios as a public attribute on the TestAdapter classes to allow
4494
modification of the generated scenarios before adaption and easier
4495
testing. (Robert Collins)
4497
* New testing support class ``TestScenarioApplier`` which multiplies
4498
out a single teste by a list of supplied scenarios. (RobertCollins)
4500
* Setting ``repository_to_test_repository`` on a repository_implementations
4501
test will cause it to be called during repository creation, allowing the
4502
testing of repository classes which are not based around the Format
4503
concept. For example a repository adapter can be tested in this manner,
4504
by altering the repository scenarios to include a scenario that sets this
4505
attribute during the test parameterisation in
4506
``bzrlib.tests.repository.repository_implementations``. (Robert Collins)
4508
* Clean up many of the APIs for blackbox testing of Bazaar. The standard
4509
interface is now self.run_bzr. The command to run can be passed as
4510
either a list of parameters, a string containing the command line, or
4511
(deprecated) varargs parameters. (Martin Pool)
4513
* The base TestCase now isolates tests from -D parameters by clearing
4514
``debug.debug_flags`` and restores it afterwards. (Robert Collins)
4516
* Add a relpath parameter to get_transport methods in test framework to
4517
avoid useless cloning.
4518
(Vincent Ladeuil, #110448)
4522
--------------------
4526
* Fix crash of commit due to wrong lookup of filesystem encoding.
4527
(Colin Watson, #120647)
4529
* Revert logging just to stderr in commit as broke unicode filenames.

-----------------------
4536
NOTES WHEN UPGRADING:
4538
* The kind() and is_executable() APIs on the WorkingTree interface no
4539
longer implicitly (read) locks and unlocks the tree. This *might*
4540
impact some plug-ins and tools using this part of the API. If you find
4541
an issue that may be caused by this change, please let us know,
4542
particularly the plug-in/tool maintainer. If encountered, the API
4543
fix is to surround kind() and is_executable() calls with lock_read()
4544
and unlock() like so::
4546
work_tree.lock_read()
4548
kind = work_tree.kind(...)
4553
* Rework of LogFormatter API to provide beginning/end of log hooks and to
4554
encapsulate the details of the revision to be logged in a LogRevision
4556
In long log formats, merge revision ids are only shown when --show-ids
4557
is specified, and are labelled "revision-id:", as per mainline
4558
revisions, instead of "merged:". (Kent Gibson)
4560
* New ``BranchBuilder`` API which allows the construction of particular
4561
histories quickly. Useful for testing and potentially other applications
4562
too. (Robert Collins)
4566
* There are two new help topics, working-trees and repositories that
4567
attempt to explain these concepts. (James Westby, John Arbash Meinel,
4570
* Added ``bzr log --limit`` to report a limited number of revisions.
4571
(Kent Gibson, #3659)
4573
* Revert does not try to preserve file contents that were originally
4574
produced by reverting to a historical revision. (Aaron Bentley)
4576
* ``bzr log --short`` now includes ``[merge]`` for revisions which
4577
have more than one parent. This is a small improvement to help
4578
understanding what changes have occurred
4579
(John Arbash Meinel, #83887)
4581
* TreeTransform avoids many renames when contructing large trees,
4582
improving speed. 3.25x speedups have been observed for construction of
4583
kernel-sized-trees, and checkouts are 1.28x faster. (Aaron Bentley)
4585
* Commit on large trees is now faster. In my environment, a commit of
4586
a small change to the Mozilla tree (55k files) has dropped from
4587
66 seconds to 32 seconds. For a small tree of 600 files, commit of a
4588
small change is 33% faster. (Ian Clatworthy)
4590
* New --create-prefix option to bzr init, like for push. (Daniel Watkins,
4595
* ``bzr push`` should only connect to the remote location one time.
4596
We have been connecting 3 times because we forget to pass around
4597
the Transport object. This adds ``BzrDir.clone_on_transport()``, so
4598
that we can pass in the Transport that we already have.
4599
(John Arbash Meinel, #75721)
4601
* ``DirState.set_state_from_inventory()`` needs to properly order
4602
based on split paths, not just string paths.
4603
(John Arbash Meinel, #115947)
4605
* Let TestUIFactoy encode the password prompt with its own stdout.
4606
(Vincent Ladeuil, #110204)
4608
* pycurl should take use the range header that takes the range hint
4610
(Vincent Ladeuil, #112719)
4612
* WorkingTree4.get_file_sha1 no longer raises an exception when invoked
4613
on a missing file. (Aaron Bentley, #118186)
4615
* WorkingTree.remove works correctly with tree references, and when pwd is
4616
not the tree root. (Aaron Bentley)
4618
* Merge no longer fails when a file is renamed in one tree and deleted
4619
in the other. (Aaron Bentley, #110279)
4621
* ``revision-info`` now accepts dotted revnos, doesn't require a tree,
4622
and defaults to the last revision (Matthew Fuller, #90048)
4624
* Tests no longer fail when BZR_REMOTE_PATH is set in the environment.
4625
(Daniel Watkins, #111958)
4627
* ``bzr branch -r revid:foo`` can be used to branch any revision in
4628
your repository. (Previously Branch6 only supported revisions in your
4629
mainline). (John Arbash Meinel, #115343)
4632
--------------------
4636
* Handle when you have 2 directories with similar names, but one has a
4637
hyphen. (``'abc'`` versus ``'abc-2'``). The WT4._iter_changes
4638
iterator was using direct comparison and ``'abc/a'`` sorts after
4639
``'abc-2'``, but ``('abc', 'a')`` sorts before ``('abc-2',)``.
4640
(John Arbash Meinel, #111227)
4642
* Handle when someone renames a file on disk without telling bzr.
4643
Previously we would report the first file as missing, but not show
4644
the new unknown file. (John Arbash Meinel, #111288)
4646
* Avoid error when running hooks after pulling into or pushing from
4647
a branch bound to a smartserver branch. (Martin Pool, #111968)
4651
* Move developer documentation to doc/developers/. This reduces clutter in
4652
the root of the source tree and allows HACKING to be split into multiple
4653
files. (Robert Collins, Alexander Belchenko)
4655
* Clean up the ``WorkingTree4._iter_changes()`` internal loops as well as
4656
``DirState.update_entry()``. This optimizes the core logic for ``bzr
4657
diff`` and ``bzr status`` significantly improving the speed of
4658
both. (John Arbash Meinel)
4660
bzr 0.16rc2 2007-04-30
4661
-----------------------
4665
* Handle the case when you delete a file, and then rename another file
4666
on top of it. Also handle the case of ``bzr rm --keep foo``. ``bzr
4667
status`` should show the removed file and an unknown file in its
4668
place. (John Arbash Meinel, #109993)
4670
* Bundles properly read and write revision properties that have an
4671
empty value. And when the value is not ASCII.
4672
(John Arbash Meinel, #109613)
4674
* Fix the bzr commit message to be in text mode.
4675
(Alexander Belchenko, #110901)
4677
* Also handle when you rename a file and create a file where it used
4678
to be. (John Arbash Meinel, #110256)
4680
* ``WorkingTree4._iter_changes`` should not descend into unversioned
4681
directories. (John Arbash Meinel, #110399)
4683
bzr 0.16rc1 2007-04-26
4684
-----------------------
4686
NOTES WHEN UPGRADING:
4688
* ``bzr remove`` and ``bzr rm`` will now remove the working file, if
4689
it could be recovered again.
4690
This has been done for consistency with svn and the unix rm command.
4691
The old ``remove`` behaviour has been retained in the new option
4692
``bzr remove --keep``, which will just stop versioning the file,
4694
``bzr remove --force`` have been added which will always delete the
4696
``bzr remove`` is also more verbose.
4697
(Marius Kruger, #82602)
4701
* Merge directives can now be supplied as input to `merge` and `pull`,
4702
like bundles can. (Aaron Bentley)
4704
* Sending the SIGQUIT signal to bzr, which can be done on Unix by
4705
pressing Control-Backslash, drops bzr into a debugger. Type ``'c'``
4706
to continue. This can be disabled by setting the environment variable
4707
``BZR_SIGQUIT_PDB=0``. (Martin Pool)
4709
* selftest now supports --list-only to list tests instead of running
4710
them. (Ian Clatworthy)
4712
* selftest now supports --exclude PATTERN (or -x PATTERN) to exclude
4713
tests with names that match that regular expression.
4714
(Ian Clatworthy, #102679)
4716
* selftest now supports --randomize SEED to run tests in a random order.
4717
SEED is typically the value 'now' meaning 'use the current time'.
4718
(Ian Clatworthy, #102686)
4720
* New option ``--fixes`` to commit, which stores bug fixing annotations as
4721
revision properties. Built-in support for Launchpad, Debian, Trac and
4722
Bugzilla bug trackers. (Jonathan Lange, James Henstridge, Robert Collins)
4724
* New API, ``bzrlib.bugtracker.tracker_registry``, for adding support for
4725
other bug trackers to ``fixes``. (Jonathan Lange, James Henstridge,
4728
* ``selftest`` has new short options ``-f`` and ``-1``. (Martin
4731
* ``bzrlib.tsort.MergeSorter`` optimizations. Change the inner loop
4732
into using local variables instead of going through ``self._var``.
4733
Improves the time to ``merge_sort`` a 10k revision graph by
4734
approximately 40% (~700->400ms). (John Arbash Meinel)
4736
* ``make docs`` now creates a man page at ``man1/bzr.1`` fixing bug 107388.
4739
* ``bzr help`` now provides cross references to other help topics using
4740
the _see_also facility on command classes. Likewise the bzr_man
4741
documentation, and the bzr.1 man page also include this information.
4744
* Tags are now included in logs, that use the long log formatter.
4745
(Erik Bågfors, Alexander Belchenko)
4747
* ``bzr help`` provides a clearer message when a help topic cannot be
4748
found. (Robert Collins, #107656)
4750
* ``bzr help`` now accepts optional prefixes for command help. The help
4751
for all commands can now be found at ``bzr help commands/COMMANDNAME``
4752
as well as ``bzr help COMMANDNAME`` (which only works for commands
4753
where the name is not the same as a more general help topic).
4756
* ``bzr help PLUGINNAME`` will now return the module docstring from the
4757
plugin PLUGINNAME. (Robert Collins, #50408)
4759
* New help topic ``urlspec`` which lists the availables transports.
4760
(Goffredo Baroncelli)
4762
* doc/server.txt updated to document the default bzr:// port
4763
and also update the blurb about the hpss' current status.
4764
(Robert Collins, #107125).
4766
* ``bzr serve`` now listens on interface 0.0.0.0 by default, making it
4767
serve out to the local LAN (and anyone in the world that can reach the
4768
machine running ``bzr serve``. (Robert Collins, #98918)
4770
* A new smart server protocol version has been added. It prefixes requests
4771
and responses with an explicit version identifier so that future protocol
4772
revisions can be dealt with gracefully. (Andrew Bennetts, Robert Collins)
4774
* The bzr protocol version 2 indicates success or failure in every response
4775
without depending on particular commands encoding that consistently,
4776
allowing future client refactorings to be much more robust about error
4777
handling. (Robert Collins, Martin Pool, Andrew Bennetts)
4779
* The smart protocol over HTTP client has been changed to always post to the
4780
same ``.bzr/smart`` URL under the original location when it can. This allows
4781
HTTP servers to only have to pass URLs ending in .bzr/smart to the smart
4782
server handler, and not arbitrary ``.bzr/*/smart`` URLs. (Andrew Bennetts)
4784
* digest authentication is now supported for proxies and HTTP by the urllib
4785
based http implementation. Tested against Apache 2.0.55 and Squid
4786
2.6.5. Basic and digest authentication are handled coherently for HTTP
4787
and proxy: if the user is provided in the url (bzr command line for HTTP,
4788
proxy environment variables for proxies), the password is prompted for
4789
(only once). If the password is provided, it is taken into account. Once
4790
the first authentication is successful, all further authentication
4791
roundtrips are avoided by preventively setting the right authentication
4797
* bzrlib API compatability with 0.8 has been dropped, cleaning up some
4798
code paths. (Robert Collins)
4800
* Change the format of chroot urls so that they can be safely manipulated
4801
by generic url utilities without causing the resulting urls to have
4802
escaped the chroot. A side effect of this is that creating a chroot
4803
requires an explicit action using a ChrootServer.
4804
(Robert Collins, Andrew Bennetts)
4806
* Deprecate ``Branch.get_root_id()`` because branches don't have root ids,
4807
rather than fixing bug #96847. (Aaron Bentley)
4809
* ``WorkingTree.apply_inventory_delta`` provides a better alternative to
4810
``WorkingTree._write_inventory``. (Aaron Bentley)
4812
* Convenience method ``TestCase.expectFailure`` ensures that known failures
4813
do not silently pass. (Aaron Bentley)
4815
* ``Transport.local_abspath`` now raises ``NotLocalUrl`` rather than
4816
``TransportNotPossible``. (Martin Pool, Ian Clatworthy)
4818
* New SmartServer hooks facility. There are two initial hooks documented
4819
in ``bzrlib.transport.smart.SmartServerHooks``. The two initial hooks allow
4820
plugins to execute code upon server startup and shutdown.
4823
* SmartServer in standalone mode will now close its listening socket
4824
when it stops, rather than waiting for garbage collection. This primarily
4825
fixes test suite hangs when a test tries to connect to a shutdown server.
4826
It may also help improve behaviour when dealing with a server running
4827
on a specific port (rather than dynamically assigned ports).
4830
* Move most SmartServer code into a new package, bzrlib/smart.
4831
bzrlib/transport/remote.py contains just the Transport classes that used
4832
to be in bzrlib/transport/smart.py. (Andrew Bennetts)
4834
* urllib http implementation avoid roundtrips associated with
4835
401 (and 407) errors once the authentication succeeds.
4838
* urlib http now supports querying the user for a proxy password if
4839
needed. Realm is shown in the prompt for both HTTP and proxy
4840
authentication when the user is required to type a password.
4843
* Renamed SmartTransport (and subclasses like SmartTCPTransport) to
4844
RemoteTransport (and subclasses to RemoteTCPTransport, etc). This is more
4845
consistent with its new home in ``bzrlib/transport/remote.py``, and because
4846
it's not really a "smart" transport, just one that does file operations
4847
via remote procedure calls. (Andrew Bennetts)
4849
* The ``lock_write`` method of ``LockableFiles``, ``Repository`` and
4850
``Branch`` now accept a ``token`` keyword argument, so that separate
4851
instances of those objects can share a lock if it has the right token.
4852
(Andrew Bennetts, Robert Collins)
4854
* New method ``get_branch_reference`` on ``BzrDir`` allows the detection of
4855
branch references - which the smart server component needs.
4857
* The Repository API ``make_working_trees`` is now permitted to return
4858
False when ``set_make_working_trees`` is not implemented - previously
4859
an unimplemented ``set_make_working_trees`` implied the result True
4860
from ``make_working_trees``. This has been changed to accomodate the
4861
smart server, where it does not make sense (at this point) to ever
4862
make working trees by default. (Robert Collins)
4864
* Command objects can now declare related help topics by having _see_also
4865
set to a list of related topic. (Robert Collins)
4867
* ``bzrlib.help`` now delegates to the Command class for Command specific
4868
help. (Robert Collins)
4870
* New class ``TransportListRegistry``, derived from the Registry class, which
4871
simplifies tracking the available Transports. (Goffredo Baroncelli)
4873
* New function ``Branch.get_revision_id_to_revno_map`` which will
4874
return a dictionary mapping revision ids to dotted revnos. Since
4875
dotted revnos are defined in the context of the branch tip, it makes
4876
sense to generate them from a ``Branch`` object.
4877
(John Arbash Meinel)
4879
* Fix the 'Unprintable error' message display to use the repr of the
4880
exception that prevented printing the error because the str value
4881
for it is often not useful in debugging (e.g. KeyError('foo') has a
4882
str() of 'foo' but a repr of 'KeyError('foo')' which is much more
4883
useful. (Robert Collins)
4885
* ``urlutils.normalize_url`` now unescapes unreserved characters, such as "~".
4890
* Don't fail bundle selftest if email has 'two' embedded.
4891
(Ian Clatworthy, #98510)
4893
* Remove ``--verbose`` from ``bzr bundle``. It didn't work anyway.
4894
(Robert Widhopf-Fenk, #98591)
4896
* Remove ``--basis`` from the checkout/branch commands - it didn't work
4897
properly and is no longer beneficial.
4898
(Robert Collins, #53675, #43486)
4900
* Don't produce encoding error when adding duplicate files.
4903
* Fix ``bzr log <file>`` so it only logs the revisions that changed
4904
the file, and does it faster.
4905
(Kent Gibson, John Arbash Meinel, #51980, #69477)
4907
* Fix ``InterDirstateTre._iter_changes`` to handle when we come across
4908
an empty versioned directory, which now has files in it.
4909
(John Arbash Meinel, #104257)
4911
* Teach ``common_ancestor`` to shortcut when the tip of one branch is
4912
inside the ancestry of the other. Saves a lot of graph processing
4913
(with an ancestry of 16k revisions, ``bzr merge ../already-merged``
4914
changes from 2m10s to 13s). (John Arbash Meinel, #103757)
4916
* Fix ``show_diff_trees`` to handle the case when a file is modified,
4917
and the containing directory is renamed. (The file path is different
4918
in this versus base, but it isn't marked as a rename).
4919
(John Arbash Meinel, #103870)
4921
* FTP now works even when the FTP server does not support atomic rename.
4922
(Aaron Bentley, #89436)
4924
* Correct handling in bundles and merge directives of timezones with
4925
that are not an integer number of hours offset from UTC. Always
4926
represent the epoch time in UTC to avoid problems with formatting
4927
earlier times on win32. (Martin Pool, Alexander Belchenko, John
4930
* Typo in the help for ``register-branch`` fixed. (Robert Collins, #96770)
4932
* "dirstate" and "dirstate-tags" formats now produce branches compatible
4933
with old versions of bzr. (Aaron Bentley, #107168))
4935
* Handle moving a directory when children have been added, removed,
4936
and renamed. (John Arbash Meinel, #105479)
4938
* Don't preventively use basic authentication for proxy before receiving a
4939
407 error. Otherwise people willing to use other authentication schemes
4940
may expose their password in the clear (or nearly). This add one
4941
roundtrip in case basic authentication should be used, but plug the
4945
* Handle http and proxy digest authentication.
4946
(Vincent Ladeuil, #94034).
4950
* Added ``bzrlib.strace.strace`` which will strace a single callable and
4951
return a StraceResult object which contains just the syscalls involved
4952
in running it. (Robert Collins)
4954
* New test method ``reduceLockdirTimeout`` to drop the default (ui-centric)
4955
default time down to one suitable for tests. (Andrew Bennetts)
4957
* Add new ``vfs_transport_factory`` attribute on tests which provides the
4958
common vfs backing for both the readonly and readwrite transports.
4959
This allows the RemoteObject tests to back onto local disk or memory,
4960
and use the existing ``transport_server`` attribute all tests know about
4961
to be the smart server transport. This in turn allows tests to
4962
differentiate between 'transport to access the branch', and
4963
'transport which is a VFS' - which matters in Remote* tests.
4964
(Robert Collins, Andrew Bennetts)
4966
* The ``make_branch_and_tree`` method for tests will now create a
4967
lightweight checkout for the tree if the ``vfs_transport_factory`` is not
4968
a LocalURLServer. (Robert Collins, Andrew Bennetts)
4970
* Branch implementation tests have been audited to ensure that all urls
4971
passed to Branch APIs use proper urls, except when local-disk paths
4972
are intended. This is so that tests correctly access the test transport
4973
which is often not equivalent to local disk in Remote* tests. As part
4974
of this many tests were adjusted to remove dependencies on local disk
4976
(Robert Collins, Andrew Bennetts)
4978
* Mark bzrlib.tests and bzrlib.tests.TestUtil as providing assertFOO helper
4979
functions by adding a ``__unittest`` global attribute. (Robert Collins,
4980
Andrew Bennetts, Martin Pool, Jonathan Lange)
4982
* Refactored proxy and authentication handling to simplify the
4983
implementation of new auth schemes for both http and proxy.
4991
* Handle incompatible repositories as a user issue when fetching.
4994
* Don't give a recommendation to upgrade when branching or
4995
checking out a branch that contains an old-format working tree.
4998
bzr 0.15rc3 2007-03-26
4999
-----------------------
5003
* A warning is now displayed when opening working trees in older
5004
formats, to encourage people to upgrade to WorkingTreeFormat4.
5009
* HTTP redirections are now taken into account when a branch (or a
5010
bundle) is accessed for the first time. A message is issued at each
5011
redirection to inform the user. In the past, http redirections were
5012
silently followed for each request which significantly degraded the
5013
performances. The http redirections are not followed anymore by
5014
default, instead a RedirectRequested exception is raised. For bzrlib
5015
users needing to follow http redirections anyway,
5016
``bzrlib.transport.do_catching_redirections`` provide an easy transition
5021
* Added ``ReadLock.temporary_write_lock()`` to allow upgrading an OS read
5022
lock to an OS write lock. Linux can do this without unlocking, Win32
5023
needs to unlock in between. (John Arbash Meinel)
5025
* New parameter ``recommend_upgrade`` to ``BzrDir.open_workingtree``
5026
to silence (when false) warnings about opening old formats.
5029
* Fix minor performance regression with bzr-0.15 on pre-dirstate
5030
trees. (We were reading the working inventory too many times).
5031
(John Arbash Meinel)
5033
* Remove ``Branch.get_transaction()`` in favour of a simple cache of
5034
``revision_history``. Branch subclasses should override
5035
``_gen_revision_history`` rather than ``revision_history`` to make use of
5036
this cache, and call ``_clear_revision_history_cache`` and
5037
``_cache_revision_history`` at appropriate times. (Andrew Bennetts)
5041
* Take ``smtp_server`` from user config into account.
5044
* Restore Unicode filename handling for versioned and unversioned files.
5045
(John Arbash Meinel, #92608)
5047
* Don't fail during ``bzr commit`` if a file is marked removed, and
5048
the containing directory is auto-removed. (John Arbash Meinel, #93681)
5050
* ``bzr status FILENAME`` failed on Windows because of an uncommon
5051
errno. (``ERROR_DIRECTORY == 267 != ENOTDIR``).
5052
(Wouter van Heyst, John Arbash Meinel, #90819)
5054
* ``bzr checkout source`` should create a local branch in the same
5055
format as source. (John Arbash Meinel, #93854)
5057
* ``bzr commit`` with a kind change was failing to update the
5058
last-changed-revision for directories. The
5059
InventoryDirectory._unchanged only looked at the ``parent_id`` and name,
5060
ignoring the fact that the kind could have changed, too.
5061
(John Arbash Meinel, #90111)
5063
* ``bzr mv dir/subdir other`` was incorrectly updating files inside
5064
the directory. So that there was a chance it would break commit,
5065
etc. (John Arbash Meinel, #94037)
5067
* Correctly handles mutiple permanent http redirections.
5070
bzr 0.15rc2 2007-03-14
5071
-----------------------
5073
NOTES WHEN UPGRADING:
5075
* Release 0.15rc2 of bzr changes the ``bzr init-repo`` command to
5076
default to ``--trees`` instead of ``--no-trees``.
5077
Existing shared repositories are not affected.
5081
* New ``merge-directive`` command to generate machine- and human-readable
5082
merge requests. (Aaron Bentley)
5084
* New ``submit:`` revision specifier makes it easy to diff against the
5085
common ancestor with the submit location (Aaron Bentley)
5087
* Added support for Putty's SSH implementation. (Dmitry Vasiliev)
5089
* Added ``bzr status --versioned`` to report only versioned files,
5090
not unknowns. (Kent Gibson)
5092
* Merge now autodetects the correct line-ending style for its conflict
5093
markers. (Aaron Bentley)
5097
* Refactored SSH vendor registration into SSHVendorManager class.
5102
* New ``--numbered-dirs`` option to ``bzr selftest`` to use
5103
numbered dirs for TestCaseInTempDir. This is default behavior
5104
on Windows. Anyone can force named dirs on Windows
5105
with ``--no-numbered-dirs``. (Alexander Belchenko)
5107
* Fix ``RevisionSpec_revid`` to handle the Unicode strings passed in
5108
from the command line. (Marien Zwart, #90501)
5110
* Fix ``TreeTransform._iter_changes`` when both the source and
5111
destination are missing. (Aaron Bentley, #88842)
5113
* Fix commit of merges with symlinks in dirstate trees.
5116
* Switch the ``bzr init-repo`` default from --no-trees to --trees.
5117
(Wouter van Heyst, #53483)
5120
bzr 0.15rc1 2007-03-07
5121
-----------------------
5125
* The default disk format has changed. Please run 'bzr upgrade' in your
5126
working trees to upgrade. This new default is compatible for network
5127
operations, but not for local operations. That is, if you have two
5128
versions of bzr installed locally, after upgrading you can only use the
5129
bzr 0.15 version. This new default does not enable tags or nested-trees
5130
as they are incompatible with bzr versions before 0.15 over the network.
5132
* For users of bzrlib: Two major changes have been made to the working tree
5133
api in bzrlib. The first is that many methods and attributes, including
5134
the inventory attribute, are no longer valid for use until one of
5135
``lock_read``/``lock_write``/``lock_tree_write`` has been called,
5136
and become invalid again after unlock is called. This has been done
5137
to improve performance and correctness as part of the dirstate
5139
(Robert Collins, John A Meinel, Martin Pool, and others).
5141
* For users of bzrlib: The attribute 'tree.inventory' should be considered
5142
readonly. Previously it was possible to directly alter this attribute, or
5143
its contents, and have the tree notice this. This has been made
5144
unsupported - it may work in some tree formats, but in the newer dirstate
5145
format such actions will have no effect and will be ignored, or even
5146
cause assertions. All operations possible can still be carried out by a
5147
combination of the tree API, and the bzrlib.transform API. (Robert
5148
Collins, John A Meinel, Martin Pool, and others).
5152
* Support for OS Windows 98. Also .bzr.log on any windows system
5153
saved in My Documents folder. (Alexander Belchenko)
5155
* ``bzr mv`` enhanced to support already moved files.
5156
In the past the mv command would have failed if the source file doesn't
5157
exist. In this situation ``bzr mv`` would now detect that the file has
5158
already moved and update the repository accordingly, if the target file
5160
A new option ``--after`` has been added so that if two files already
5161
exist, you could notify Bazaar that you have moved a (versioned) file
5162
and replaced it with another. Thus in this case ``bzr move --after``
5163
will only update the Bazaar identifier.
5164
(Steffen Eichenberg, Marius Kruger)
5166
* ``ls`` now works on treeless branches and remote branches.
5169
* ``bzr help global-options`` describes the global options.
5172
* ``bzr pull --overwrite`` will now correctly overwrite checkouts.
5175
* Files are now allowed to change kind (e.g. from file to symlink).
5176
Supported by ``commit``, ``revert`` and ``status``
5179
* ``inventory`` and ``unknowns`` hidden in favour of ``ls``
5182
* ``bzr help checkouts`` descibes what checkouts are and some possible
5183
uses of them. (James Westby, Aaron Bentley)
5185
* A new ``-d`` option to push, pull and merge overrides the default
5186
directory. (Martin Pool)
5188
* Branch format 6: smaller, and potentially faster than format 5. Supports
5189
``append_history_only`` mode, where the log view and revnos do not change,
5190
except by being added to. Stores policy settings in
5191
".bzr/branch/branch.conf".
5193
* ``append_only`` branches: Format 6 branches may be configured so that log
5194
view and revnos are always consistent. Either create the branch using
5195
"bzr init --append-revisions-only" or edit the config file as descriped
5196
in docs/configuration.txt.
5198
* rebind: Format 6 branches retain the last-used bind location, so if you
5199
"bzr unbind", you can "bzr bind" to bind to the previously-selected
5202
* Builtin tags support, created and deleted by the ``tag`` command and
5203
stored in the branch. Tags can be accessed with the revisionspec
5204
``-rtag:``, and listed with ``bzr tags``. Tags are not versioned
5205
at present. Tags require a network incompatible upgrade. To perform this
5206
upgrade, run ``bzr upgrade --dirstate-tags`` in your branch and
5207
repositories. (Martin Pool)
5209
* The ``bzr://`` transport now has a well-known port number, 4155,
5210
which it will use by default. (Andrew Bennetts, Martin Pool)
5212
* Bazaar now looks for user-installed plugins before looking for site-wide
5213
plugins. (Jonathan Lange)
5215
* ``bzr resolve`` now detects and marks resolved text conflicts.
5220
* Internally revision ids and file ids are now passed around as utf-8
5221
bytestrings, rather than treating them as Unicode strings. This has
5222
performance benefits for Knits, since we no longer need to decode the
5223
revision id for each line of content, nor for each entry in the index.
5224
This will also help with the future dirstate format.
5225
(John Arbash Meinel)
5227
* Reserved ids (any revision-id ending in a colon) are rejected by
5228
versionedfiles, repositories, branches, and working trees
5231
* Minor performance improvement by not creating a ProgressBar for
5232
every KnitIndex we create. (about 90ms for a bzr.dev tree)
5233
(John Arbash Meinel)
5235
* New easier to use Branch hooks facility. There are five initial hooks,
5236
all documented in bzrlib.branch.BranchHooks.__init__ - ``'set_rh'``,
5237
``'post_push'``, ``'post_pull'``, ``'post_commit'``,
5238
``'post_uncommit'``. These hooks fire after the matching operation
5239
on a branch has taken place, and were originally added for the
5240
branchrss plugin. (Robert Collins)
5242
* New method ``Branch.push()`` which should be used when pushing from a
5243
branch as it makes performance and policy decisions to match the UI
5244
level command ``push``. (Robert Collins).
5246
* Add a new method ``Tree.revision_tree`` which allows access to cached
5247
trees for arbitrary revisions. This allows the in development dirstate
5248
tree format to provide access to the callers to cached copies of
5249
inventory data which are cheaper to access than inventories from the
5251
(Robert Collins, Martin Pool)
5253
* New ``Branch.last_revision_info`` method, this is being done to allow
5254
optimization of requests for both the number of revisions and the last
5255
revision of a branch with smartservers and potentially future branch
5256
formats. (Wouter van Heyst, Robert Collins)
5258
* Allow ``'import bzrlib.plugins.NAME'`` to work when the plugin NAME has not
5259
yet been loaded by ``load_plugins()``. This allows plugins to depend on each
5260
other for code reuse without requiring users to perform file-renaming
5261
gymnastics. (Robert Collins)
5263
* New Repository method ``'gather_stats'`` for statistic data collection.
5264
This is expected to grow to cover a number of related uses mainly
5265
related to bzr info. (Robert Collins)
5267
* Log formatters are now managed with a registry.
5268
``log.register_formatter`` continues to work, but callers accessing
5269
the FORMATTERS dictionary directly will not.
5271
* Allow a start message to be passed to the ``edit_commit_message``
5272
function. This will be placed in the message offered to the user
5273
for editing above the separator. It allows a template commit message
5274
to be used more easily. (James Westby)
5276
* ``GPGStrategy.sign()`` will now raise ``BzrBadParameterUnicode`` if
5277
you pass a Unicode string rather than an 8-bit string. Callers need
5278
to be updated to encode first. (John Arbash Meinel)
5280
* Branch.push, pull, merge now return Result objects with information
5281
about what happened, rather than a scattering of various methods. These
5282
are also passed to the post hooks. (Martin Pool)
5284
* File formats and architecture is in place for managing a forest of trees
5285
in bzr, and splitting up existing trees into smaller subtrees, and
5286
finally joining trees to make a larger tree. This is the first iteration
5287
of this support, and the user-facing aspects still require substantial
5288
work. If you wish to experiment with it, use ``bzr upgrade
5289
--dirstate-with-subtree`` in your working trees and repositories.
5290
You can use the hidden commands ``split`` and ``join`` and to create
5291
and manipulate nested trees, but please consider using the nested-trees
5292
branch, which contains substantial UI improvements, instead.
5293
http://code.aaronbentley.com/bzr/bzrrepo/nested-trees/
5294
(Aaron Bentley, Martin Pool, Robert Collins).
5298
* ``bzr annotate`` now uses dotted revnos from the viewpoint of the
5299
branch, rather than the last changed revision of the file.
5300
(John Arbash Meinel, #82158)
5302
* Lock operations no longer hang if they encounter a permission problem.
5305
* ``bzr push`` can resume a push that was canceled before it finished.
5306
Also, it can push even if the target directory exists if you supply
5307
the ``--use-existing-dir`` flag.
5308
(John Arbash Meinel, #30576, #45504)
5310
* Fix http proxy authentication when user and an optional
5311
password appears in the ``*_proxy`` vars. (Vincent Ladeuil,
5314
* ``bzr log branch/file`` works for local treeless branches
5315
(Aaron Bentley, #84247)
5317
* Fix problem with UNC paths on Windows 98. (Alexander Belchenko, #84728)
5319
* Searching location of CA bundle for PyCurl in env variable
5320
(``CURL_CA_BUNDLE``), and on win32 along the PATH.
5321
(Alexander Belchenko, #82086)
5323
* ``bzr init`` works with unicode argument LOCATION.
5324
(Alexander Belchenko, #85599)
5326
* Raise ``DependencyNotPresent`` if pycurl do not support https.
5327
(Vincent Ladeuil, #85305)
5329
* Invalid proxy env variables should not cause a traceback.
5330
(Vincent Ladeuil, #87765)
5332
* Ignore patterns normalised to use '/' path separator.
5333
(Kent Gibson, #86451)
5335
* bzr rocks. It sure does! Fix case. (Vincent Ladeuil, #78026)
5337
* Fix bzrtools shelve command for removed lines beginning with "--"
5338
(Johan Dahlberg, #75577)
5342
* New ``--first`` option to ``bzr selftest`` to run specified tests
5343
before the rest of the suite. (Martin Pool)
5347
--------------------
5351
* ``bzr help global-options`` describes the global options. (Aaron Bentley)
5355
* Skip documentation generation tests if the tools to do so are not
5356
available. Fixes running selftest for installled copies of bzr.
5357
(John Arbash Meinel, #80330)
5359
* Fix the code that discovers whether bzr is being run from it's
5360
working tree to handle the case when it isn't but the directory
5361
it is in is below a repository. (James Westby, #77306)
5364
bzr 0.14rc1 2007-01-16
5365
-----------------------
5369
* New connection: ``bzr+http://`` which supports tunnelling the smart
5370
protocol over an HTTP connection. If writing is enabled on the bzr
5371
server, then you can write over the http connection.
5372
(Andrew Bennetts, John Arbash Meinel)
5374
* Aliases now support quotation marks, so they can contain whitespace
5377
* PyCurlTransport now use a single curl object. By specifying explicitly
5378
the 'Range' header, we avoid the need to use two different curl objects
5379
(and two connections to the same server). (Vincent Ladeuil)
5381
* ``bzr commit`` does not prompt for a message until it is very likely to
5382
succeed. (Aaron Bentley)
5384
* ``bzr conflicts`` now takes --text to list pathnames of text conflicts
5387
* Fix ``iter_lines_added_or_present_in_versions`` to use a set instead
5388
of a list while checking if a revision id was requested. Takes 10s
5389
off of the ``fileids_affected_by_revision_ids`` time, which is 10s
5390
of the ``bzr branch`` time. Also improve ``fileids_...`` time by
5391
filtering lines with a regex rather than multiple ``str.find()``
5392
calls. (saves another 300ms) (John Arbash Meinel)
5394
* Policy can be set for each configuration key. This allows keys to be
5395
inherited properly across configuration entries. For example, this
5396
should enable you to do::
5398
[/home/user/project]
5399
push_location = sftp://host/srv/project/
5400
push_location:policy = appendpath
5402
And then a branch like ``/home/user/project/mybranch`` should get an
5403
automatic push location of ``sftp://host/srv/project/mybranch``.
5406
* Added ``bzr status --short`` to make status report svn style flags
5407
for each file. For example::
5409
$ bzr status --short
5415
* 'bzr selftest --clean-output' allows easily clean temporary tests
5416
directories without running tests. (Alexander Belchenko)
5418
* ``bzr help hidden-commands`` lists all hidden commands. (Aaron Bentley)
5420
* ``bzr merge`` now has an option ``--pull`` to fall back to pull if
5421
local is fully merged into remote. (Jan Hudec)
5423
* ``bzr help formats`` describes available directory formats. (Aaron Bentley)
5427
* A few tweaks directly to ``fileids_affected_by_revision_ids`` to
5428
help speed up processing, as well allowing to extract unannotated
5429
lines. Between the two ``fileids_affected_by_revision_ids`` is
5430
improved by approx 10%. (John Arbash Meinel)
5432
* Change Revision serialization to only write out millisecond
5433
resolution. Rather than expecting floating point serialization to
5434
preserve more resolution than we need. (Henri Weichers, Martin Pool)
5436
* Test suite ends cleanly on Windows. (Vincent Ladeuil)
5438
* When ``encoding_type`` attribute of class Command is equal to 'exact',
5439
force sys.stdout to be a binary stream on Windows, and therefore
5440
keep exact line-endings (without LF -> CRLF conversion).
5441
(Alexander Belchenko)
5443
* Single-letter short options are no longer globally declared. (Martin
5446
* Before using detected user/terminal encoding bzr should check
5447
that Python has corresponding codec. (Alexander Belchenko)
5449
* Formats for end-user selection are provided via a FormatRegistry (Aaron Bentley)
5453
* ``bzr missing --verbose`` was showing adds/removals in the wrong
5454
direction. (John Arbash Meinel)
5456
* ``bzr annotate`` now defaults to showing dotted revnos for merged
5457
revisions. It cuts them off at a depth of 12 characters, but you can
5458
supply ``--long`` to see the full number. You can also use
5459
``--show-ids`` to display the original revision ids, rather than
5460
revision numbers and committer names. (John Arbash Meinel, #75637)
5462
* bzr now supports Win32 UNC path (e.g. ``\HOST\path``.
5463
(Alexander Belchenko, #57869)
5465
* Win32-specific: output of cat, bundle and diff commands don't mangle
5466
line-endings (Alexander Belchenko, #55276)
5468
* Replace broken fnmatch based ignore pattern matching with custom pattern
5470
(Kent Gibson, Jan Hudec #57637)
5472
* pycurl and urllib can detect short reads at different places. Update
5473
the test suite to test more cases. Also detect http error code 416
5474
which was raised for that specific bug. Also enhance the urllib
5475
robustness by detecting invalid ranges (and pycurl's one by detecting
5476
short reads during the initial GET). (Vincent Ladeuil, #73948)
5478
* The urllib connection sharing interacts badly with urllib2
5479
proxy setting (the connections didn't go thru the proxy
5480
anymore). Defining a proper ProxyHandler solves the
5481
problem. (Vincent Ladeuil, #74759)
5483
* Use urlutils to generate relative URLs, not osutils
5484
(Aaron Bentley, #76229)
5486
* ``bzr status`` in a readonly directory should work without giving
5487
lots of errors. (John Arbash Meinel, #76299)
5489
* Mention the revisionspec topic for the revision option help.
5490
(Wouter van Heyst, #31663)
5492
* Allow plugins import from zip archives.
5493

No changes from 0.13rc1
5501
bzr 0.13rc1 2006-11-27
5502
-----------------------
5506
* New command ``bzr remove-tree`` allows the removal of the working
5508
(Daniel Silverstone)
5510
* urllib uses shared keep-alive connections, so http
5511
operations are substantially faster.
5512
(Vincent Ladeuil, #53654)
5514
* ``bzr export`` allows an optional branch parameter, to export a bzr
5515
tree from some other url. For example:
5516
``bzr export bzr.tar.gz http://bazaar-vcs.org/bzr/bzr.dev``
5517
(Daniel Silverstone)
5519
* Added ``bzr help topics`` to the bzr help system. This gives a
5520
location for general information, outside of a specific command.
5521
This includes updates for ``bzr help revisionspec`` the first topic
5522
included. (Goffredo Baroncelli, John Arbash Meinel, #42714)
5524
* WSGI-compatible HTTP smart server. See ``doc/http_smart_server.txt``.
5527
* Knit files will now cache full texts only when the size of the
5528
deltas is as large as the size of the fulltext. (Or after 200
5529
deltas, whichever comes first). This has the most benefit on large
5530
files with small changes, such as the inventory for a large project.
5531
(eg For a project with 2500 files, and 7500 revisions, it changes
5532
the size of inventory.knit from 11MB to 5.4MB) (John Arbash Meinel)
5536
* New -D option given before the command line turns on debugging output
5537
for particular areas. -Derror shows tracebacks on all errors.
5540
* Clean up ``bzr selftest --benchmark bundle`` to correct an import,
5541
and remove benchmarks that take longer than 10min to run.
5542
(John Arbash Meinel)
5544
* Use ``time.time()`` instead of ``time.clock()`` to decide on
5545
progress throttling. Because ``time.clock()`` is actually CPU time,
5546
so over a high-latency connection, too many updates get throttled.
5547
(John Arbash Meinel)
5549
* ``MemoryTransport.list_dir()`` would strip the first character for
5550
files or directories in root directory. (John Arbash Meinel)
5552
* New method ``get_branch_reference`` on 'BzrDir' allows the detection of
5553
branch references - which the smart server component needs.
5555
* New ``ChrootTransportDecorator``, accessible via the ``chroot+`` url
5556
prefix. It disallows any access to locations above a set URL. (Andrew
5561
* Now ``_KnitIndex`` properly decode revision ids when loading index data.
5562
And optimize the knit index parsing code.
5563
(Dmitry Vasiliev, John Arbash Meinel)
5565
* ``bzrlib/bzrdir.py`` was directly referencing ``bzrlib.workingtree``,
5566
without importing it. This prevented ``bzr upgrade`` from working
5567
unless a plugin already imported ``bzrlib.workingtree``
5568
(John Arbash Meinel, #70716)
5570
* Suppress the traceback on invalid URLs (Vincent Ladeuil, #70803).
5572
* Give nicer error message when an http server returns a 403
5573
error code. (Vincent Ladeuil, #57644).
5575
* When a multi-range http GET request fails, try a single
5576
range one. If it fails too, forget about ranges. Remember that until
5577
the death of the transport and propagates that to the clones.
5578
(Vincent Ladeuil, #62276, #62029).
5580
* Handles user/passwords supplied in url from command
5581
line (for the urllib implementation). Don't request already
5582
known passwords (Vincent Ladeuil, #42383, #44647, #48527)
5584
* ``_KnitIndex.add_versions()`` dictionary compresses revision ids as they
5585
are added. This fixes bug where fetching remote revisions records
5586
them as full references rather than integers.
5587
(John Arbash Meinel, #64789)
5589
* ``bzr ignore`` strips trailing slashes in patterns.
5590
Also ``bzr ignore`` rejects absolute paths. (Kent Gibson, #4559)
5592
* ``bzr ignore`` takes multiple arguments. (Cheuksan Edward Wang, #29488)
5594
* mv correctly handles paths that traverse symlinks.
5595
(Aaron Bentley, #66964)
5597
* Give nicer looking error messages when failing to connect over ssh.
5598
(John Arbash Meinel, #49172)
5600
* Pushing to a remote branch does not currently update the remote working
5601
tree. After a remote push, ``bzr status`` and ``bzr diff`` on the remote
5602
machine now show that the working tree is out of date.
5603
(Cheuksan Edward Wang #48136)
5605
* Use patiencediff instead of difflib for determining deltas to insert
5606
into knits. This avoids the O(N^3) behavior of difflib. Patience
5607
diff should be O(N^2). (Cheuksan Edward Wang, #65714)
5609
* Running ``bzr log`` on nonexistent file gives an error instead of the
5610
entire log history. (Cheuksan Edward Wang #50793)
5612
* ``bzr cat`` can look up contents of removed or renamed files. If the
5613
pathname is ambiguous, i.e. the files in the old and new trees have
5614
different id's, the default is the file in the new tree. The user can
5615
use "--name-from-revision" to select the file in the old tree.
5616
(Cheuksan Edward Wang, #30190)
5620
* TestingHTTPRequestHandler really handles the Range header
5621
(previously it was ignoring it and returning the whole file,).
5624
--------------------
5628
* Clean up ``bzr selftest --benchmark bundle`` to correct an import,
5629
and remove benchmarks that take longer than 10min to run.
5630
(John Arbash Meinel)
5632
bzr 0.12rc1 2006-10-23
5633
-----------------------
5637
* ``bzr log`` now shows dotted-decimal revision numbers for all revisions,
5638
rather than just showing a decimal revision number for revisions on the
5639
mainline. These revision numbers are not yet accepted as input into bzr
5640
commands such as log, diff etc. (Robert Collins)
5642
* revisions can now be specified using dotted-decimal revision numbers.
5643
For instance, ``bzr diff -r 1.2.1..1.2.3``. (Robert Collins)
5645
* ``bzr help commands`` output is now shorter (Aaron Bentley)
5647
* ``bzr`` now uses lazy importing to reduce the startup time. This has
5648
a moderate effect on lots of actions, especially ones that have
5649
little to do. For example ``bzr rocks`` time is down to 116ms from
5650
283ms. (John Arbash Meinel)
5652
* New Registry class to provide name-to-object registry-like support,
5653
for example for schemes where plugins can register new classes to
5654
do certain tasks (e.g. log formatters). Also provides lazy registration
5655
to allow modules to be loaded on request.
5656
(John Arbash Meinel, Adeodato Simó)
5658
API INCOMPATABILITY:
5660
* LogFormatter subclasses show now expect the 'revno' parameter to
5661
show() to be a string rather than an int. (Robert Collins)
5665
* ``TestCase.run_bzr``, ``run_bzr_captured``, and ``run_bzr_subprocess``
5666
can take a ``working_dir='foo'`` parameter, which will change directory
5667
for the command. (John Arbash Meinel)
5669
* ``bzrlib.lazy_regex.lazy_compile`` can be used to create a proxy
5670
around a regex, which defers compilation until first use.
5671
(John Arbash Meinel)
5673
* ``TestCase.run_bzr_subprocess`` defaults to supplying the
5674
``--no-plugins`` parameter to ensure test reproducability, and avoid
5675
problems with system-wide installed plugins. (John Arbash Meinel)
5677
* Unique tree root ids are now supported. Newly created trees still
5678
use the common root id for compatibility with bzr versions before 0.12.
5681
* ``WorkingTree.set_root_id(None)`` is now deprecated. Please
5682
pass in ``inventory.ROOT_ID`` if you want the default root id value.
5683
(Robert Collins, John Arbash Meinel)
5685
* New method ``WorkingTree.flush()`` which will write the current memory
5686
inventory out to disk. At the same time, ``read_working_inventory`` will
5687
no longer trash the current tree inventory if it has been modified within
5688
the current lock, and the tree will now ``flush()`` automatically on
5689
``unlock()``. ``WorkingTree.set_root_id()`` has been updated to take
5690
advantage of this functionality. (Robert Collins, John Arbash Meinel)
5692
* ``bzrlib.tsort.merge_sorted`` now accepts ``generate_revnos``. This
5693
parameter will cause it to add another column to its output, which
5694
contains the dotted-decimal revno for each revision, as a tuple.
5697
* ``LogFormatter.show_merge`` is deprecated in favour of
5698
``LogFormatter.show_merge_revno``. (Robert Collins)
5702
* Avoid circular imports by creating a deprecated function for
5703
``bzrlib.tree.RevisionTree``. Callers should have been using
5704
``bzrlib.revisontree.RevisionTree`` anyway. (John Arbash Meinel,
5707
* Don't use ``socket.MSG_WAITALL`` as it doesn't exist on all
5708
platforms. (Martin Pool, #66356)
5710
* Don't require ``Content-Type`` in range responses. Assume they are a
5711
single range if ``Content-Type`` does not exist.
5712
(John Arbash Meinel, #62473)
5714
* bzr branch/pull no longer complain about progress bar cleanup when
5715
interrupted during fetch. (Aaron Bentley, #54000)
5717
* ``WorkingTree.set_parent_trees()`` uses the trees to directly write
5718
the basis inventory, rather than going through the repository. This
5719
allows us to have 1 inventory read, and 2 inventory writes when
5720
committing a new tree. (John Arbash Meinel)
5722
* When reverting, files that are not locally modified that do not exist
5723
in the target are deleted, not just unversioned (Aaron Bentley)
5725
* When trying to acquire a lock, don't fail immediately. Instead, try
5726
a few times (up to 1 hour) before timing out. Also, report why the
5727
lock is unavailable (John Arbash Meinel, #43521, #49556)
5729
* Leave HttpTransportBase daughter classes decides how they
5730
implement cloning. (Vincent Ladeuil, #61606)
5732
* diff3 does not indicate conflicts on clean merge. (Aaron Bentley)
5734
* If a commit fails, the commit message is stored in a file at the root of
5735
the tree for later commit. (Cheuksan Edward Wang, Stefan Metzmacher,
5740
* New test base class TestCaseWithMemoryTransport offers memory-only
5741
testing facilities: its not suitable for tests that need to mutate disk
5742
state, but most tests should not need that and should be converted to
5743
TestCaseWithMemoryTransport. (Robert Collins)
5745
* ``TestCase.make_branch_and_memory_tree`` now takes a format
5746
option to set the BzrDir, Repository and Branch formats of the
5747
created objects. (Robert Collins, John Arbash Meinel)
5750
--------------------
5752
* Smart server transport test failures on windows fixed. (Lukáš Lalinský).
5754
bzr 0.11rc2 2006-09-27
5755
-----------------------
5759
* Test suite hangs on windows fixed. (Andrew Bennets, Alexander Belchenko).
5761
* Commit performance regression fixed. (Aaron Bentley, Robert Collins, John
5764
bzr 0.11rc1 2006-09-25
5765
-----------------------
5769
* Knit files now wait to create their contents until the first data is
5770
added. The old code used to create an empty .knit and a .kndx with just
5771
the header. However, this caused a lot of extra round trips over sftp.
5772
This can change the time for ``bzr push`` to create a new remote branch
5773
from 160s down to 100s. This also affects ``bzr commit`` performance when
5774
adding new files, ``bzr commit`` on a new kernel-like tree drops from 50s
5775
down to 40s (John Arbash Meinel, #44692)
5777
* When an entire subtree has been deleted, commit will now report that
5778
just the top of the subtree has been deleted, rather than reporting
5779
all the individual items. (Robert Collins)
5781
* Commit performs one less XML parse. (Robert Collins)
5783
* ``bzr checkout`` now operates on readonly branches as well
5784
as readwrite branches. This fixes bug #39542. (Robert Collins)
5786
* ``bzr bind`` no longer synchronises history with the master branch.
5787
Binding should be followed by an update or push to synchronise the
5788
two branches. This is closely related to the fix for bug #39542.
5791
* ``bzrlib.lazy_import.lazy_import`` function to create on-demand
5792
objects. This allows all imports to stay at the global scope, but
5793
modules will not actually be imported if they are not used.
5794
(John Arbash Meinel)
5796
* Support ``bzr://`` and ``bzr+ssh://`` urls to work with the new RPC-based
5797
transport which will be used with the upcoming high-performance smart
5798
server. The new command ``bzr serve`` will invoke bzr in server mode,
5799
which processes these requests. (Andrew Bennetts, Robert Collins, Martin
5802
* New command ``bzr version-info`` which can be used to get a summary
5803
of the current state of the tree. This is especially useful as part
5804
of a build commands. See ``doc/version_info.txt`` for more information
5805
(John Arbash Meinel)
5809
* ``'bzr inventory [FILE...]'`` allows restricting the file list to a
5810
specific set of files. (John Arbash Meinel, #3631)
5812
* Don't abort when annotating empty files (John Arbash Meinel, #56814)
5814
* Add ``Stanza.to_unicode()`` which can be passed to another Stanza
5815
when nesting stanzas. Also, add ``read_stanza_unicode`` to handle when
5816
reading a nested Stanza. (John Arbash Meinel)
5818
* Transform._set_mode() needs to stat the right file.
5819
(John Arbash Meinel, #56549)
5821
* Raise WeaveFormatError rather than StopIteration when trying to read
5822
an empty Weave file. (John Arbash Meinel, #46871)
5824
* Don't access e.code for generic URLErrors, only HTTPErrors have .code.
5825
(Vincent Ladeuil, #59835)
5827
* Handle boundary="" lines properly to allow access through a Squid proxy.
5828
(John Arbash Meinel, #57723)
5830
* revert now removes newly-added directories (Aaron Bentley, #54172)
5832
* ``bzr upgrade sftp://`` shouldn't fail to upgrade v6 branches if there
5833
isn't a working tree. (David Allouche, #40679)
5835
* Give nicer error messages when a user supplies an invalid --revision
5836
parameter. (John Arbash Meinel, #55420)
5838
* Handle when LANG is not recognized by python. Emit a warning, but
5839
just revert to using 'ascii'. (John Arbash Meinel, #35392)
5841
* Don't use ``preexec_fn`` on win32, as it is not supported by subprocess.
5842
(John Arbash Meinel)
5844
* Skip specific tests when the dependencies aren't met. This includes
5845
some ``setup.py`` tests when ``python-dev`` is not available, and
5846
some tests that depend on paramiko. (John Arbash Meinel, Mattheiu Moy)
5848
* Fallback to Paramiko properly, if no ``ssh`` executable exists on
5849
the system. (Andrew Bennetts, John Arbash Meinel)
5851
* ``Branch.bind(other_branch)`` no longer takes a write lock on the
5852
other branch, and will not push or pull between the two branches.
5853
API users will need to perform a push or pull or update operation if they
5854
require branch synchronisation to take place. (Robert Collins, #47344)
5856
* When creating a tarball or zipfile export, export unicode names as utf-8
5857
paths. This may not work perfectly on all platforms, but has the best
5858
chance of working in the common case. (John Arbash Meinel, #56816)
5860
* When committing, only files that exist in working tree or basis tree
5861
may be specified (Aaron Bentley, #50793)
5865
* Fixes to run on Python 2.5 (Brian M. Carlson, Martin Pool, Marien Zwart)
5869
* TestCaseInTempDir now creates a separate directory for HOME, rather
5870
than having HOME set to the same location as the working directory.
5871
(John Arbash Meinel)
5873
* ``run_bzr_subprocess()`` can take an optional ``env_changes={}`` parameter,
5874
which will update os.environ inside the spawned child. It also can
5875
take a ``universal_newlines=True``, which helps when checking the output
5876
of the command. (John Arbash Meinel)
5878
* Refactor SFTP vendors to allow easier re-use when ssh is used.
5881
* ``Transport.list_dir()`` and ``Transport.iter_files_recursive()`` should always
5882
return urlescaped paths. This is now tested (there were bugs in a few
5883
of the transports) (Andrew Bennetts, David Allouche, John Arbash Meinel)
5885
* New utility function ``symbol_versioning.deprecation_string``. Returns the
5886
formatted string for a callable, deprecation format pair. (Robert Collins)
5888
* New TestCase helper applyDeprecated. This allows you to call a callable
5889
which is deprecated without it spewing to the screen, just by supplying
5890
the deprecation format string issued for it. (Robert Collins)
5892
* Transport.append and Transport.put have been deprecated in favor of
5893
``.append_bytes``, ``.append_file``, ``.put_bytes``, and
5894
``.put_file``. This removes the ambiguity in what type of object the
5895
functions take. ``Transport.non_atomic_put_{bytes,file}`` has also
5896
been added. Which works similarly to ``Transport.append()`` except for
5897
SFTP, it doesn't have a round trip when opening the file. Also, it
5898
provides functionality for creating a parent directory when trying
5899
to create a file, rather than raise NoSuchFile and forcing the
5900
caller to repeat their request.
5901
(John Arbash Meinel)
5903
* WorkingTree has a new api ``unversion`` which allow the unversioning of
5904
entries by their file id. (Robert Collins)
5906
* ``WorkingTree.pending_merges`` is deprecated. Please use the
5907
``get_parent_ids`` (introduced in 0.10) method instead. (Robert Collins)
5909
* WorkingTree has a new ``lock_tree_write`` method which locks the branch for
5910
read rather than write. This is appropriate for actions which only need
5911
the branch data for reference rather than mutation. A new decorator
5912
``needs_tree_write_lock`` is provided in the workingtree module. Like the
5913
``needs_read_lock`` and ``needs_write_lock`` decorators this allows static
5914
declaration of the locking requirements of a function to ensure that
5915
a lock is taken out for casual scripts. (Robert Collins, #54107)
5917
* All WorkingTree methods which write to the tree, but not to the branch
5918
have been converted to use ``needs_tree_write_lock`` rather than
5919
``needs_write_lock``. Also converted is the revert, conflicts and tree
5920
transform modules. This provides a modest performance improvement on
5921
metadir style trees, due to the reduce lock-acquisition, and a more
5922
significant performance improvement on lightweight checkouts from
5923
remote branches, where trivial operations used to pay a significant
5924
penalty. It also provides the basis for allowing readonly checkouts.
5927
* Special case importing the standard library 'copy' module. This shaves
5928
off 40ms of startup time, while retaining compatibility. See:
5929
``bzrlib/inspect_for_copy.py`` for more details. (John Arbash Meinel)
5931
* WorkingTree has a new parent class MutableTree which represents the
5932
specialisations of Tree which are able to be altered. (Robert Collins)
5934
* New methods mkdir and ``put_file_bytes_non_atomic`` on MutableTree that
5935
mutate the tree and its contents. (Robert Collins)
5937
* Transport behaviour at the root of the URL is now defined and tested.
5938
(Andrew Bennetts, Robert Collins)
5942
* New test helper classs MemoryTree. This is typically accessed via
5943
``self.make_branch_and_memory_tree()`` in test cases. (Robert Collins)
5945
* Add ``start_bzr_subprocess`` and ``stop_bzr_subprocess`` to allow test
5946
code to continue running concurrently with a subprocess of bzr.
5947
(Andrew Bennetts, Robert Collins)
5949
* Add a new method ``Transport.get_smart_client()``. This is provided to
5950
allow upgrades to a richer interface than the VFS one provided by
5951
Transport. (Andrew Bennetts, Martin Pool)
5954
--------------------
5957
* 'merge' now takes --uncommitted, to apply uncommitted changes from a
5958
tree. (Aaron Bentley)
5960
* 'bzr add --file-ids-from' can be used to specify another path to use
5961
for creating file ids, rather than generating all new ones. Internally,
5962
the 'action' passed to ``smart_add_tree()`` can return ``file_ids`` that
5963
will be used, rather than having bzrlib generate new ones.
5964
(John Arbash Meinel, #55781)
5966
* ``bzr selftest --benchmark`` now allows a ``--cache-dir`` parameter.
5967
This will cache some of the intermediate trees, and decrease the
5968
setup time for benchmark tests. (John Arbash Meinel)
5970
* Inverse forms are provided for all boolean options. For example,
5971
--strict has --no-strict, --no-recurse has --recurse (Aaron Bentley)
5973
* Serialize out Inventories directly, rather than using ElementTree.
5974
Writing out a kernel sized inventory drops from 2s down to ~350ms.
5975
(Robert Collins, John Arbash Meinel)
5979
* Help diffutils 2.8.4 get along with binary tests (Marien Zwart: #57614)
5981
* Change LockDir so that if the lock directory doesn't exist when
5982
``lock_write()`` is called, an attempt will be made to create it.
5983
(John Arbash Meinel, #56974)
5985
* ``bzr uncommit`` preserves pending merges. (John Arbash Meinel, #57660)
5987
* Active FTP transport now works as intended. (ghozzy, #56472)
5989
* Really fix mutter() so that it won't ever raise a UnicodeError.
5990
It means it is possible for ~/.bzr.log to contain non UTF-8 characters.
5991
But it is a debugging log, not a real user file.
5992
(John Arbash Meinel, #56947, #53880)
5994
* Change Command handle to allow Unicode command and options.
5995
At present we cannot register Unicode command names, so we will get
5996
BzrCommandError('unknown command'), or BzrCommandError('unknown option')
5997
But that is better than a UnicodeError + a traceback.
5998
(John Arbash Meinel, #57123)
6000
* Handle TZ=UTC properly when reading/writing revisions.
6001
(John Arbash Meinel, #55783, #56290)
6003
* Use ``GPG_TTY`` to allow gpg --cl to work with gpg-agent in a pipeline,
6004
(passing text to sign in on stdin). (John Arbash Meinel, #54468)
6006
* External diff does the right thing for binaries even in foreign
6007
languages. (John Arbash Meinel, #56307)
6009
* Testament handles more cases when content is unicode. Specific bug was
6010
in handling of revision properties.
6011
(John Arbash Meinel, Holger Krekel, #54723)
6013
* The bzr selftest was failing on installed versions due to a bug in a new
6014
test helper. (John Arbash Meinel, Robert Collins, #58057)
6018
* ``bzrlib.cache_utf8`` contains ``encode()`` and ``decode()`` functions
6019
which can be used to cache the conversion between utf8 and Unicode.
6020
Especially helpful for some of the knit annotation code, which has to
6021
convert revision ids to utf8 to annotate lines in storage.
6022
(John Arbash Meinel)
6024
* ``setup.py`` now searches the filesystem to find all packages which
6025
need to be installed. This should help make the life of packagers
6026
easier. (John Arbash Meinel)
6028
bzr 0.9.0 2006-08-11
6029
---------------------
6033
* The hard-coded built-in ignore rules have been removed. There are
6034
now two rulesets which are enforced. A user global one in
6035
``~/.bazaar/ignore`` which will apply to every tree, and the tree
6036
specific one '.bzrignore'.
6037
``~/.bazaar/ignore`` will be created if it does not exist, but with
6038
a more conservative list than the old default.
6039
This fixes bugs with default rules being enforced no matter what.
6040
The old list of ignore rules from bzr is available by
6041
running 'bzr ignore --old-default-rules'.
6042
(Robert Collins, Martin Pool, John Arbash Meinel)
6044
* 'branches.conf' has been changed to 'locations.conf', since it can apply
6045
to more locations than just branch locations.
6050
* The revision specifier "revno:" is extended to accept the syntax
6051
revno:N:branch. For example,
6052
revno:42:http://bazaar-vcs.org/bzr/bzr.dev/ means revision 42 in
6053
bzr.dev. (Matthieu Moy)
6055
* Tests updates to ensure proper URL handling, UNICODE support, and
6056
proper printing when the user's terminal encoding cannot display
6057
the path of a file that has been versioned.
6058
``bzr branch`` can take a target URL rather than only a local directory.
6059
``Branch.get_parent()/set_parent()`` now save a relative path if possible,
6060
and normalize the parent based on root, allowing access across
6061
different transports. (John Arbash Meinel, Wouter van Heyst, Martin Pool)
6062
(Malone #48906, #42699, #40675, #5281, #3980, #36363, #43689,
6065
* On Unix, detect terminal width using an ioctl not just $COLUMNS.
6066
Use terminal width for single-line logs from ``bzr log --line`` and
6067
pending-merge display. (Robert Widhopf-Fenk, Gustavo Niemeyer)
6070
* On Windows, detect terminal width using GetConsoleScreenBufferInfo.
6071
(Alexander Belchenko)
6073
* Speedup improvement for 'date:'-revision search. (Guillaume Pinot).
6075
* Show the correct number of revisions pushed when pushing a new branch.
6078
* 'bzr selftest' now shows a progress bar with the number of tests, and
6079
progress made. 'make check' shows tests in -v mode, to be more useful
6080
for the PQM status window. (Robert Collins).
6081
When using a progress bar, failed tests are printed out, rather than
6082
being overwritten by the progress bar until the suite finishes.
6083
(John Arbash Meinel)
6085
* 'bzr selftest --benchmark' will run a new benchmarking selftest.
6086
'bzr selftest --benchmark --lsprof-timed' will use lsprofile to generate
6087
profile data for the individual profiled calls, allowing for fine
6088
grained analysis of performance.
6089
(Robert Collins, Martin Pool).
6091
* 'bzr commit' shows a progress bar. This is useful for commits over sftp
6092
where commit can take an appreciable time. (Robert Collins)
6094
* 'bzr add' is now less verbose in telling you what ignore globs were
6095
matched by files being ignored. Instead it just tells you how many
6096
were ignored (because you might reasonably be expecting none to be
6097
ignored). 'bzr add -v' is unchanged and will report every ignored
6098
file. (Robert Collins).
6100
* ftp now has a test server if medusa is installed. As part of testing,
6101
ftp support has been improved, including support for supplying a
6102
non-standard port. (John Arbash Meinel).
6104
* 'bzr log --line' shows the revision number, and uses only the
6105
first line of the log message (#5162, Alexander Belchenko;
6108
* 'bzr status' has had the --all option removed. The 'bzr ls' command
6109
should be used to retrieve all versioned files. (Robert Collins)
6111
* 'bzr bundle OTHER/BRANCH' will create a bundle which can be sent
6112
over email, and applied on the other end, while maintaining ancestry.
6113
This bundle can be applied with either 'bzr merge' or 'bzr pull',
6114
the same way you would apply another branch.
6115
(John Arbash Meinel, Aaron Bentley)
6117
* 'bzr whoami' can now be used to set your identity from the command line,
6118
for a branch or globally. (Robey Pointer)
6120
* 'bzr checkout' now aliased to 'bzr co', and 'bzr annotate' to 'bzr ann'.
6123
* 'bzr revert DIRECTORY' now reverts the contents of the directory as well.
6126
* 'bzr get sftp://foo' gives a better error when paramiko is not present.
6127
Also updates things like 'http+pycurl://' if pycurl is not present.
6128
(John Arbash Meinel) (Malone #47821, #52204)
6130
* New env variable ``BZR_PROGRESS_BAR``, sets the default progress bar type.
6131
Can be set to 'none' or 'dummy' to disable the progress bar, 'dots' or
6132
'tty' to create the respective type. (John Arbash Meinel, #42197, #51107)
6134
* Improve the help text for 'bzr diff' to explain what various options do.
6135
(John Arbash Meinel, #6391)
6137
* 'bzr uncommit -r 10' now uncommits revisions 11.. rather than uncommitting
6138
revision 10. This makes -r10 more in line with what other commands do.
6139
'bzr uncommit' also now saves the pending merges of the revisions that
6140
were removed. So it is safe to uncommit after a merge, fix something,
6141
and commit again. (John Arbash Meinel, #32526, #31426)
6143
* 'bzr init' now also works on remote locations.
6144
(Wouter van Heyst, #48904)
6146
* HTTP support has been updated. When using pycurl we now support
6147
connection keep-alive, which reduces dns requests and round trips.
6148
And for both urllib and pycurl we support multi-range requests,
6149
which decreases the number of round-trips. Performance results for
6150
``bzr branch http://bazaar-vcs.org/bzr/bzr.dev/`` indicate
6151
http branching is now 2-3x faster, and ``bzr pull`` in an existing
6152
branch is as much as 4x faster.
6153
(Michael Ellerman, Johan Rydberg, John Arbash Meinel, #46768)
6155
* Performance improvements for sftp. Branching and pulling are now up to
6156
2x faster. Utilize paramiko.readv() support for async requests if it
6157
is available (paramiko > 1.6) (John Arbash Meinel)
6161
* Fix shadowed definition of TestLocationConfig that caused some
6163
(Erik Bågfors, Michael Ellerman, Martin Pool, #32587)
6165
* Fix unnecessary requirement of sign-my-commits that it be run from
6166
a working directory. (Martin Pool, Robert Collins)
6168
* 'bzr push location' will only remember the push location if it succeeds
6169
in connecting to the remote location. (John Arbash Meinel, #49742)
6171
* 'bzr revert' no longer toggles the executable bit on win32
6172
(John Arbash Meinel, #45010)
6174
* Handle broken pipe under win32 correctly. (John Arbash Meinel)
6176
* sftp tests now work correctly on win32 if you have a newer paramiko
6177
(John Arbash Meinel)
6179
* Cleanup win32 test suite, and general cleanup of places where
6180
file handles were being held open. (John Arbash Meinel)
6182
* When specifying filenames for 'diff -r x..y', the name of the file in the
6183
working directory can be used, even if its name is different in both x
6186
* File-ids containing single- or double-quotes are handled correctly by
6187
push. (Aaron Bentley, #52227)
6189
* Normalize unicode filenames to ensure cross-platform consistency.
6190
(John Arbash Meinel, #43689)
6192
* The argument parser can now handle '-' as an argument. Currently
6193
no code interprets it specially (it is mostly handled as a file named
6194
'-'). But plugins, and future operations can use it.
6195
(John Arbash meinel, #50984)
6197
* Bundles can properly read binary files with a plain '\r' in them.
6198
(John Arbash Meinel, #51927)
6200
* Tuning ``iter_entries()`` to be more efficient (John Arbash Meinel, #5444)
6202
* Lots of win32 fixes (the test suite passes again).
6203
(John Arbash Meinel, #50155)
6205
* Handle openbsd returning None for sys.getfilesystemencoding() (#41183)
6207
* Support ftp APPE (append) to allow Knits to be used over ftp (#42592)
6209
* Removals are only committed if they match the filespec (or if there is
6210
no filespec). (#46635, Aaron Bentley)
6212
* smart-add recurses through all supplied directories
6213
(John Arbash Meinel, #52578)
6215
* Make the bundle reader extra lines before and after the bundle text.
6216
This allows you to parse an email with the bundle inline.
6217
(John Arbash Meinel, #49182)
6219
* Change the file id generator to squash a little bit more. Helps when
6220
working with long filenames on windows. (Also helps for unicode filenames
6221
not generating hidden files). (John Arbash Meinel, #43801)
6223
* Restore terminal mode on C-c while reading sftp password. (#48923,
6224
Nicholas Allen, Martin Pool)
6226
* Timestamps are rounded to 1ms, and revision entries can be recreated
6227
exactly. (John Arbash Meinel, Jamie Wilkinson, #40693)
6229
* Branch.base has changed to a URL, but ~/.bazaar/locations.conf should
6230
use local paths, since it is user visible (John Arbash Meinel, #53653)
6232
* ``bzr status foo`` when foo was unversioned used to cause a full delta
6233
to be generated (John Arbash Meinel, #53638)
6235
* When reading revision properties, an empty value should be considered
6236
the empty string, not None (John Arbash Meinel, #47782)
6238
* ``bzr diff --diff-options`` can now handle binary files being changed.
6239
Also, the output is consistent when --diff-options is not supplied.
6240
(John Arbash Meinel, #54651, #52930)
6242
* Use the right suffixes for loading plugins (John Arbash Meinel, #51810)
6244
* Fix ``Branch.get_parent()`` to handle the case when the parent is not
6245
accessible (John Arbash Meinel, #52976)
6249
* Combine the ignore rules into a single regex rather than looping over
6250
them to reduce the threshold where N^2 behaviour occurs in operations
6251
like status. (Jan Hudec, Robert Collins).
6253
* Appending to ``bzrlib.DEFAULT_IGNORE`` is now deprecated. Instead, use
6254
one of the add functions in bzrlib.ignores. (John Arbash Meinel)
6256
* 'bzr push' should only push the ancestry of the current revision, not
6257
all of the history in the repository. This is especially important for
6258
shared repositories. (John Arbash Meinel)
6260
* ``bzrlib.delta.compare_trees`` now iterates in alphabetically sorted order,
6261
rather than randomly walking the inventories. (John Arbash Meinel)
6263
* Doctests are now run in temporary directories which are cleaned up when
6264
they finish, rather than using special ScratchDir/ScratchBranch objects.
6267
* Split ``check`` into separate methods on the branch and on the repository,
6268
so that it can be specialized in ways that are useful or efficient for
6269
different formats. (Martin Pool, Robert Collins)
6271
* Deprecate ``Repository.all_revision_ids``; most methods don't really need
6272
the global revision graph but only that part leading up to a particular
6273
revision. (Martin Pool, Robert Collins)
6275
* Add a BzrDirFormat ``control_formats`` list which allows for control formats
6276
that do not use '.bzr' to store their data - i.e. '.svn', '.hg' etc.
6277
(Robert Collins, Jelmer Vernooij).
6279
* ``bzrlib.diff.external_diff`` can be redirected to any file-like object.
6280
Uses subprocess instead of spawnvp.
6281
(James Henstridge, John Arbash Meinel, #4047, #48914)
6283
* New command line option '--profile-imports', which will install a custom
6284
importer to log time to import modules and regex compilation time to
6285
sys.stderr (John Arbash Meinel)
6287
* 'EmptyTree' is now deprecated, please use ``repository.revision_tree(None)``
6288
instead. (Robert Collins)
6290
* "RevisionTree" is now in bzrlib/revisiontree.py. (Robert Collins)
6292
bzr 0.8.2 2006-05-17
6293
---------------------
6297
* setup.py failed to install launchpad plugin. (Martin Pool)
6299
bzr 0.8.1 2006-05-16
6300
---------------------
6304
* Fix failure to commit a merge in a checkout. (Martin Pool,
6305
Robert Collins, Erik Bågfors, #43959)
6307
* Nicer messages from 'commit' in the case of renames, and correct
6308
messages when a merge has occured. (Robert Collins, Martin Pool)
6310
* Separate functionality from assert statements as they are skipped in
6311
optimized mode of python. Add the same check to pending merges.
6312
(Olaf Conradi, #44443)
6316
* Do not show the None revision in output of bzr ancestry. (Olaf Conradi)
6318
* Add info on standalone branches without a working tree.
6319
(Olaf Conradi, #44155)
6321
* Fix bug in knits when raising InvalidRevisionId. (Olaf Conradi, #44284)
6325
* Make editor invocation comply with Debian Policy. First check
6326
environment variables VISUAL and EDITOR, then try editor from
6327
alternatives system. If that all fails, fall back to the pre-defined
6328
list of editors. (Olaf Conradi, #42904)
6332
* New 'register-branch' command registers a public branch into
6333
Launchpad.net, where it can be associated with bugs, etc.
6334
(Martin Pool, Bjorn Tillenius, Robert Collins)
6338
* New public api in InventoryEntry - ``describe_change(old, new)`` which
6339
provides a human description of the changes between two old and
6340
new. (Robert Collins, Martin Pool)
6344
* Fix test case for bzr info in upgrading a standalone branch to metadir,
6345
uses bzrlib api now. (Olaf Conradi)
6350
NOTES WHEN UPGRADING:
6352
Release 0.8 of bzr introduces a new format for history storage, called
6353
'knit', as an evolution of to the 'weave' format used in 0.7. Local
6354
and remote operations are faster using knits than weaves. Several
6355
operations including 'init', 'init-repo', and 'upgrade' take a
6356
--format option that controls this. Branching from an existing branch
6357
will keep the same format.
6359
It is possible to merge, pull and push between branches of different
6360
formats but this is slower than moving data between homogenous
6361
branches. It is therefore recommended (but not required) that you
6362
upgrade all branches for a project at the same time. Information on
6363
formats is shown by 'bzr info'.
6365
bzr 0.8 now allows creation of 'repositories', which hold the history
6366
of files and revisions for several branches. Previously bzr kept all
6367
the history for a branch within the .bzr directory at the root of the
6368
branch, and this is still the default. To create a repository, use
6369
the new 'bzr init-repo' command. Branches exist as directories under
6370
the repository and contain just a small amount of information
6371
indicating the current revision of the branch.
6373
bzr 0.8 also supports 'checkouts', which are similar to in cvs and
6374
subversion. Checkouts are associated with a branch (optionally in a
6375
repository), which contains all the historical information. The
6376
result is that a checkout can be deleted without losing any
6377
already-committed revisions. A new 'update' command is also available.
6379
Repositories and checkouts are not supported with the 0.7 storage
6380
format. To use them you must upgrad to either knits, or to the
6381
'metaweave' format, which uses weaves but changes the .bzr directory
6387
* Sftp paths can now be relative, or local, according to the lftp
6388
convention. Paths now take the form::
6390
sftp://user:pass@host:port/~/relative/path
6392
sftp://user:pass@host:port/absolute/path
6394
* The FTP transport now tries to reconnect after a temporary
6395
failure. ftp put is made atomic. (Matthieu Moy)
6397
* The FTP transport now maintains a pool of connections, and
6398
reuses them to avoid multiple connections to the same host (like
6399
sftp did). (Daniel Silverstone)
6401
* The ``bzr_man.py`` file has been removed. To create the man page now,
6402
use ``./generate_docs.py man``. The new program can also create other files.
6403
Run ``python generate_docs.py --help`` for usage information.
6404
(Hans Ulrich Niedermann & James Blackwell).
6406
* Man Page now gives full help (James Blackwell).
6407
Help also updated to reflect user config now being stored in .bazaar
6408
(Hans Ulrich Niedermann)
6410
* It's now possible to set aliases in bazaar.conf (Erik Bågfors)
6412
* Pull now accepts a --revision argument (Erik Bågfors)
6414
* ``bzr re-sign`` now allows multiple revisions to be supplied on the command
6415
line. You can now use the following command to sign all of your old
6418
find .bzr/revision-store// -name my@email-* \
6419
| sed 's/.*\/\/..\///' \
6422
* Upgrade can now upgrade over the network. (Robert Collins)
6424
* Two new commands 'bzr checkout' and 'bzr update' allow for CVS/SVN-alike
6425
behaviour. By default they will cache history in the checkout, but
6426
with --lightweight almost all data is kept in the master branch.
6429
* 'revert' unversions newly-versioned files, instead of deleting them.
6431
* 'merge' is more robust. Conflict messages have changed.
6433
* 'merge' and 'revert' no longer clobber existing files that end in '~' or
6436
* Default log format can be set in configuration and plugins can register
6437
their own formatters. (Erik Bågfors)
6439
* New 'reconcile' command will check branch consistency and repair indexes
6440
that can become out of sync in pre 0.8 formats. (Robert Collins,
6443
* New 'bzr init --format' and 'bzr upgrade --format' option to control
6444
what storage format is created or produced. (Robert Collins,
6447
* Add parent location to 'bzr info', if there is one. (Olaf Conradi)
6449
* New developer commands 'weave-list' and 'weave-join'. (Martin Pool)
6451
* New 'init-repository' command, plus support for repositories in 'init'
6452
and 'branch' (Aaron Bentley, Erik Bågfors, Robert Collins)
6454
* Improve output of 'info' command. Show all relevant locations related to
6455
working tree, branch and repository. Use kibibytes for binary quantities.
6456
Fix off-by-one error in missing revisions of working tree. Make 'info'
6457
work on branches, repositories and remote locations. Show locations
6458
relative to the shared repository, if applicable. Show locking status
6459
of locations. (Olaf Conradi)
6461
* Diff and merge now safely handle binary files. (Aaron Bentley)
6463
* 'pull' and 'push' now normalise the revision history, so that any two
6464
branches with the same tip revision will have the same output from 'log'.
6467
* 'merge' accepts --remember option to store parent location, like 'push'
6468
and 'pull'. (Olaf Conradi)
6470
* bzr status and diff when files given as arguments do not exist
6471
in the relevant trees. (Martin Pool, #3619)
6473
* Add '.hg' to the default ignore list. (Martin Pool)
6475
* 'knit' is now the default disk format. This improves disk performance and
6476
utilization, increases incremental pull performance, robustness with SFTP
6477
and allows checkouts over SFTP to perform acceptably.
6478
The initial Knit code was contributed by Johan Rydberg based on a
6479
specification by Martin Pool.
6480
(Robert Collins, Aaron Bentley, Johan Rydberg, Martin Pool).
6482
* New tool to generate all-in-one html version of the manual. (Alexander
6485
* Hitting CTRL-C while doing an SFTP push will no longer cause stale locks
6486
to be left in the SFTP repository. (Robert Collins, Martin Pool).
6488
* New option 'diff --prefix' to control how files are named in diff
6489
output, with shortcuts '-p0' and '-p1' corresponding to the options for
6490
GNU patch. (Alexander Belchenko, Goffredo Baroncelli, Martin Pool)
6492
* Add --revision option to 'annotate' command. (Olaf Conradi)
6494
* If bzr shows an unexpected revision-history after pulling (perhaps due
6495
to a reweave) it can now be corrected by 'bzr reconcile'.
6500
* Commit is now verbose by default, and shows changed filenames and the
6501
new revision number. (Robert Collins, Martin Pool)
6503
* Unify 'mv', 'move', 'rename'. (Matthew Fuller, #5379)
6505
* 'bzr -h' shows help. (Martin Pool, Ian Bicking, #35940)
6507
* Make 'pull' and 'push' remember location on failure using --remember.
6510
* For compatibility, make old format for using weaves inside metadir
6511
available as 'metaweave' format. Rename format 'metadir' to 'default'.
6512
Clean up help for option --format in commands 'init', 'init-repo' and
6513
'upgrade'. (Olaf Conradi)
6517
* The internal storage of history, and logical branch identity have now
6518
been split into Branch, and Repository. The common locking and file
6519
management routines are now in bzrlib.lockablefiles.
6520
(Aaron Bentley, Robert Collins, Martin Pool)
6522
* Transports can now raise DependencyNotPresent if they need a library
6523
which is not installed, and then another implementation will be
6524
tried. (Martin Pool)
6526
* Remove obsolete (and no-op) `decode` parameter to `Transport.get`.
6529
* Using Tree Transform for merge, revert, tree-building
6531
* WorkingTree.create, Branch.create, ``WorkingTree.create_standalone``,
6532
Branch.initialize are now deprecated. Please see ``BzrDir.create_*`` for
6533
replacement API's. (Robert Collins)
6535
* New BzrDir class represents the .bzr control directory and manages
6536
formatting issues. (Robert Collins)
6538
* New repository.InterRepository class encapsulates Repository to
6539
Repository actions and allows for clean selection of optimised code
6540
paths. (Robert Collins)
6542
* ``bzrlib.fetch.fetch`` and ``bzrlib.fetch.greedy_fetch`` are now
6543
deprecated, please use ``branch.fetch`` or ``repository.fetch``
6544
depending on your needs. (Robert Collins)
6546
* deprecated methods now have a ``is_deprecated`` flag on them that can
6547
be checked, if you need to determine whether a given callable is
6548
deprecated at runtime. (Robert Collins)
6550
* Progress bars are now nested - see
6551
``bzrlib.ui.ui_factory.nested_progress_bar``.
6552
(Robert Collins, Robey Pointer)
6554
* New API call ``get_format_description()`` for each type of format.
6557
* Changed ``branch.set_parent()`` to accept None to remove parent.
6560
* Deprecated BzrError AmbiguousBase. (Olaf Conradi)
6562
* WorkingTree.branch is now a read only property. (Robert Collins)
6564
* bzrlib.ui.text.TextUIFactory now accepts a ``bar_type`` parameter which
6565
can be None or a factory that will create a progress bar. This is
6566
useful for testing or for overriding the bzrlib.progress heuristic.
6569
* New API method ``get_physical_lock_status()`` to query locks present on a
6570
transport. (Olaf Conradi)
6572
* Repository.reconcile now takes a thorough keyword parameter to allow
6573
requesting an indepth reconciliation, rather than just a data-loss
6574
check. (Robert Collins)
6576
* ``bzrlib.ui.ui_factory protocol`` now supports ``get_boolean`` to prompt
6577
the user for yes/no style input. (Robert Collins)
6581
* SFTP tests now shortcut the SSH negotiation, reducing test overhead
6582
for testing SFTP protocol support. (Robey Pointer)
6584
* Branch formats are now tested once per implementation (see ``bzrlib.
6585
tests.branch_implementations``. This is analagous to the transport
6586
interface tests, and has been followed up with working tree,
6587
repository and BzrDir tests. (Robert Collins)
6589
* New test base class TestCaseWithTransport provides a transport aware
6590
test environment, useful for testing any transport-interface using
6591
code. The test suite option --transport controls the transport used
6592
by this class (when its not being used as part of implementation
6593
contract testing). (Robert Collins)
6595
* Close logging handler on disabling the test log. This will remove the
6596
handler from the internal list inside python's logging module,
6597
preventing shutdown from closing it twice. (Olaf Conradi)
6599
* Move test case for uncommit to blackbox tests. (Olaf Conradi)
6601
* ``run_bzr`` and ``run_bzr_captured`` now accept a 'stdin="foo"'
6602
parameter which will provide String("foo") to the command as its stdin.
6609
* .bzrignore is excluded from exports, on the grounds that it's a bzr
6610
internal-use file and may not be wanted. (Jamie Wilkinson)
6612
* The "bzr directories" command were removed in favor of the new
6613
--kind option to the "bzr inventory" command. To list all
6614
versioned directories, now use "bzr inventory --kind directory".
6617
* Under Windows configuration directory is now ``%APPDATA%\bazaar\2.0``
6618
by default. (John Arbash Meinel)
6620
* The parent of Bzr configuration directory can be set by ``BZR_HOME``
6621
environment variable. Now the path for it is searched in ``BZR_HOME``,
6622
then in HOME. Under Windows the order is: ``BZR_HOME``, ``APPDATA``
6623
(usually points to ``C:\Documents and Settings\User Name\Application Data``),
6624
``HOME``. (John Arbash Meinel)
6626
* Plugins with the same name in different directories in the bzr plugin
6627
path are no longer loaded: only the first successfully loaded one is
6628
used. (Robert Collins)
6630
* Use systems' external ssh command to open connections if possible.
6631
This gives better integration with user settings such as ProxyCommand.
6634
* Permissions on files underneath .bzr/ are inherited from the .bzr
6635
directory. So for a shared repository, simply doing 'chmod -R g+w .bzr/'
6636
will mean that future file will be created with group write permissions.
6638
* configure.in and config.guess are no longer in the builtin default
6641
* '.sw[nop]' pattern ignored, to ignore vim swap files for nameless
6642
files. (John Arbash Meinel, Martin Pool)
6646
* "bzr INIT dir" now initializes the specified directory, and creates
6647
it if it does not exist. (John Arbash Meinel)
6649
* New remerge command (Aaron Bentley)
6651
* Better zsh completion script. (Steve Borho)
6653
* 'bzr diff' now returns 1 when there are changes in the working
6654
tree. (Robert Collins)
6656
* 'bzr push' now exists and can push changes to a remote location.
6657
This uses the transport infrastructure, and can store the remote
6658
location in the ~/.bazaar/branches.conf configuration file.
6661
* Test directories are only kept if the test fails and the user requests
6664
* Tweaks to short log printing
6666
* Added branch nicks, new nick command, printing them in log output.
6669
* If ``$BZR_PDB`` is set, pop into the debugger when an uncaught exception
6670
occurs. (Martin Pool)
6672
* Accept 'bzr resolved' (an alias for 'bzr resolve'), as this is
6673
the same as Subversion. (Martin Pool)
6675
* New ftp transport support (on ftplib), for ftp:// and aftp://
6676
URLs. (Daniel Silverstone)
6678
* Commit editor temporary files now start with ``bzr_log.``, to allow
6679
text editors to match the file name and set up appropriate modes or
6680
settings. (Magnus Therning)
6682
* Improved performance when integrating changes from a remote weave.
6683
(Goffredo Baroncelli)
6685
* Sftp will attempt to cache the connection, so it is more likely that
6686
a connection will be reused, rather than requiring multiple password
6689
* bzr revno now takes an optional argument indicating the branch whose
6690
revno should be printed. (Michael Ellerman)
6692
* bzr cat defaults to printing the last version of the file.
6693
(Matthieu Moy, #3632)
6695
* New global option 'bzr --lsprof COMMAND' runs bzr under the lsprof
6696
profiler. (Denys Duchier)
6698
* Faster commits by reading only the headers of affected weave files.
6701
* 'bzr add' now takes a --dry-run parameter which shows you what would be
6702
added, but doesn't actually add anything. (Michael Ellerman)
6704
* 'bzr add' now lists how many files were ignored per glob. add --verbose
6705
lists the specific files. (Aaron Bentley)
6707
* 'bzr missing' now supports displaying changes in diverged trees and can
6708
be limited to show what either end of the comparison is missing.
6709
(Aaron Bently, with a little prompting from Daniel Silverstone)
6713
* SFTP can walk up to the root path without index errors. (Robert Collins)
6715
* Fix bugs in running bzr with 'python -O'. (Martin Pool)
6717
* Error when run with -OO
6719
* Fix bug in reporting http errors that don't have an http error code.
6722
* Handle more cases of pipe errors in display commands
6724
* Change status to 3 for all errors
6726
* Files that are added and unlinked before committing are completely
6727
ignored by diff and status
6729
* Stores with some compressed texts and some uncompressed texts are now
6730
able to be used. (John A Meinel)
6732
* Fix for bzr pull failing sometimes under windows
6734
* Fix for sftp transport under windows when using interactive auth
6736
* Show files which are both renamed and modified as such in 'bzr
6737
status' output. (Daniel Silverstone, #4503)
6739
* Make annotate cope better with revisions committed without a valid
6740
email address. (Marien Zwart)
6742
* Fix representation of tab characters in commit messages.
6745
* List of plugin directories in ``BZR_PLUGIN_PATH`` environment variable is
6746
now parsed properly under Windows. (Alexander Belchenko)
6748
* Show number of revisions pushed/pulled/merged. (Robey Pointer)
6750
* Keep a cached copy of the basis inventory to speed up operations
6751
that need to refer to it. (Johan Rydberg, Martin Pool)
6753
* Fix bugs in bzr status display of non-ascii characters.
6756
* Remove Makefile.in from default ignore list.
6757
(Tollef Fog Heen, Martin Pool, #6413)
6759
* Fix failure in 'bzr added'. (Nathan McCallum, Martin Pool)
6763
* Fix selftest asking for passwords when there are no SFTP keys.
6764
(Robey Pointer, Jelmer Vernooij)
6766
* Fix selftest run with 'python -O'. (Martin Pool)
6768
* Fix HTTP tests under Windows. (John Arbash Meinel)
6770
* Make tests work even if HOME is not set (Aaron Bentley)
6772
* Updated ``build_tree`` to use fixed line-endings for tests which read
6773
the file cotents and compare. Make some tests use this to pass under
6774
Windows. (John Arbash Meinel)
6776
* Skip stat and symlink tests under Windows. (Alexander Belchenko)
6778
* Delay in selftest/testhashcash is now issued under win32 and Cygwin.
6779
(John Arbash Meinel)
6781
* Use terminal width to align verbose test output. (Martin Pool)
6783
* Blackbox tests are maintained within the bzrlib.tests.blackbox directory.
6784
If adding a new test script please add that to
6785
``bzrlib.tests.blackbox.__init__``. (Robert Collins)
6787
* Much better error message if one of the test suites can't be
6788
imported. (Martin Pool)
6790
* Make check now runs the test suite twice - once with the default locale,
6791
and once with all locales forced to C, to expose bugs. This is not
6792
trivially done within python, so for now its only triggered by running
6793
Make check. Integrators and packagers who wish to check for full
6794
platform support should run 'make check' to test the source.
6797
* Tests can now run TestSkipped if they can't execute for any reason.
6798
(Martin Pool) (NB: TestSkipped should only be raised for correctable
6799
reasons - see the wiki spec ImprovingBzrTestSuite).
6801
* Test sftp with relative, absolute-in-homedir and absolute-not-in-homedir
6802
paths for the transport tests. Introduce blackbox remote sftp tests that
6803
test the same permutations. (Robert Collins, Robey Pointer)
6805
* Transport implementation tests are now independent of the local file
6806
system, which allows tests for esoteric transports, and for features
6807
not available in the local file system. They also repeat for variations
6808
on the URL scheme that can introduce issues in the transport code,
6809
see bzrlib.transport.TransportTestProviderAdapter() for this.
6812
* ``TestCase.build_tree`` uses the transport interface to build trees,
6813
pass in a transport parameter to give it an existing connection.
6818
* WorkingTree.pull has been split across Branch and WorkingTree,
6819
to allow Branch only pulls. (Robert Collins)
6821
* ``commands.display_command`` now returns the result of the decorated
6822
function. (Robert Collins)
6824
* LocationConfig now has a ``set_user_option(key, value)`` call to save
6825
a setting in its matching location section (a new one is created
6826
if needed). (Robert Collins)
6828
* Branch has two new methods, ``get_push_location`` and
6829
``set_push_location`` to respectively, get and set the push location.
6832
* ``commands.register_command`` now takes an optional flag to signal that
6833
the registrant is planning to decorate an existing command. When
6834
given multiple plugins registering a command is not an error, and
6835
the original command class (whether built in or a plugin based one) is
6836
returned to the caller. There is a new error 'MustUseDecorated' for
6837
signalling when a wrapping command should switch to the original
6838
version. (Robert Collins)
6840
* Some option parsing errors will raise 'BzrOptionError', allowing
6841
granular detection for decorating commands. (Robert Collins).
6843
* ``Branch.read_working_inventory`` has moved to
6844
``WorkingTree.read_working_inventory``. This necessitated changes to
6845
``Branch.get_root_id``, and a move of ``Branch.set_inventory`` to
6846
WorkingTree as well. To make it clear that a WorkingTree cannot always
6847
be obtained ``Branch.working_tree()`` will raise
6848
``errors.NoWorkingTree`` if one cannot be obtained. (Robert Collins)
6850
* All pending merges operations from Branch are now on WorkingTree.
6853
* The follow operations from Branch have moved to WorkingTree::
6863
* ``bzrlib.add.smart_add_branch`` is now ``smart_add_tree``. (Robert Collins)
6865
* New "rio" serialization format, similar to rfc-822. (Martin Pool)
6867
* Rename selftests to ``bzrlib.tests.test_foo``. (John A Meinel, Martin
6870
* ``bzrlib.plugin.all_plugins`` has been changed from an attribute to a
6871
query method. (Robert Collins)
6873
* New options to read only the table-of-contents of a weave.
6876
* Raise NoSuchFile when someone tries to add a non-existant file.
6879
* Simplify handling of DivergedBranches in ``cmd_pull()``.
6882
* Branch.controlfile* logic has moved to lockablefiles.LockableFiles, which
6883
is exposed as ``Branch().control_files``. Also this has been altered with the
6884
controlfile pre/suffix replaced by simple method names like 'get' and
6885
'put'. (Aaron Bentley, Robert Collins).
6887
* Deprecated functions and methods can now be marked as such using the
6888
``bzrlib.symbol_versioning`` module. Marked method have their docstring
6889
updated and will issue a DeprecationWarning using the warnings module
6890
when they are used. (Robert Collins)
6892
* ``bzrlib.osutils.safe_unicode`` now exists to provide parameter coercion
6893
for functions that need unicode strings. (Robert Collins)
6900
* pull now takes --verbose to show you what revisions are added or removed
6903
* merge now takes a --show-base option to include the base text in
6907
* The config files are now read using ConfigObj, so '=' should be used as
6908
a separator, not ':'.
6911
* New 'bzr commit --strict' option refuses to commit if there are
6912
any unknown files in the tree. To commit, make sure all files are
6913
either ignored, added, or deleted. (Michael Ellerman)
6915
* The config directory is now ~/.bazaar, and there is a single file
6916
~/.bazaar/bazaar.conf storing email, editor and other preferences.
6919
* 'bzr add' no longer takes a --verbose option, and a --quiet option
6920
has been added that suppresses all output.
6922
* Improved zsh completion support in contrib/zsh, from Clint
6925
* Builtin 'bzr annotate' command, by Martin Pool with improvements from
6926
Goffredo Baroncelli.
6928
* 'bzr check' now accepts -v for verbose reporting, and checks for
6929
ghosts in the branch. (Robert Collins)
6931
* New command 're-sign' which will regenerate the gpg signature for
6932
a revision. (Robert Collins)
6934
* If you set ``check_signatures=require`` for a path in
6935
``~/.bazaar/branches.conf`` then bzr will invoke your
6936
``gpg_signing_command`` (defaults to gpg) and record a digital signature
6937
of your commit. (Robert Collins)
6939
* New sftp transport, based on Paramiko. (Robey Pointer)
6941
* 'bzr pull' now accepts '--clobber' which will discard local changes
6942
and make this branch identical to the source branch. (Robert Collins)
6944
* Just give a quieter warning if a plugin can't be loaded, and
6945
put the details in .bzr.log. (Martin Pool)
6947
* 'bzr branch' will now set the branch-name to the last component of the
6948
output directory, if one was supplied.
6950
* If the option ``post_commit`` is set to one (or more) python function
6951
names (must be in the bzrlib namespace), then they will be invoked
6952
after the commit has completed, with the branch and ``revision_id`` as
6953
parameters. (Robert Collins)
6955
* Merge now has a retcode of 1 when conflicts occur. (Robert Collins)
6957
* --merge-type weave is now supported for file contents. Tree-shape
6958
changes are still three-way based. (Martin Pool, Aaron Bentley)
6960
* 'bzr check' allows the first revision on revision-history to have
6961
parents - something that is expected for cheap checkouts, and occurs
6962
when conversions from baz do not have all history. (Robert Collins).
6964
* 'bzr merge' can now graft unrelated trees together, if your specify
6965
0 as a base. (Aaron Bentley)
6967
* 'bzr commit branch' and 'bzr commit branch/file1 branch/file2' now work
6970
* Add '.sconsign*' to default ignore list. (Alexander Belchenko)
6972
* 'bzr merge --reprocess' minimizes conflicts
6976
* The 'bzr selftest --pattern' option for has been removed, now
6977
test specifiers on the command line can be simple strings, or
6978
regexps, or both. (Robert Collins)
6980
* Passing -v to selftest will now show the time each test took to
6981
complete, which will aid in analysing performance regressions and
6982
related questions. (Robert Collins)
6984
* 'bzr selftest' runs all tests, even if one fails, unless '--one'
6985
is given. (Martin Pool)
6987
* There is a new method for TestCaseInTempDir, assertFileEqual, which
6988
will check that a given content is equal to the content of the named
6989
file. (Robert Collins)
6991
* Fix test suite's habit of leaving many temporary log files in $TMPDIR.
6996
* New 'testament' command and concept for making gpg-signatures
6997
of revisions that are not tied to a particular internal
6998
representation. (Martin Pool).
7000
* Per-revision properties ('revprops') as key-value associated
7001
strings on each revision created when the revision is committed.
7002
Intended mainly for the use of external tools. (Martin Pool).
7004
* Config options have moved from bzrlib.osutils to bzrlib.config.
7007
* Improved command line option definitions allowing explanations
7008
for individual options, among other things. Contributed by
7011
* Config options have moved from bzrlib.osutils to bzrlib.config.
7012
Configuration is now done via the config.Config interface:
7013
Depending on whether you have a Branch, a Location or no information
7014
available, construct a ``*Config``, and use its ``signature_checking``,
7015
``username`` and ``user_email`` methods. (Robert Collins)
7017
* Plugins are now loaded under bzrlib.plugins, not bzrlib.plugin, and
7018
they are made available for other plugins to use. You should not
7019
import other plugins during the ``__init__`` of your plugin though, as
7020
no ordering is guaranteed, and the plugins directory is not on the
7021
python path. (Robert Collins)
7023
* Branch.relpath has been moved to WorkingTree.relpath. WorkingTree no
7024
no longer takes an inventory, rather it takes an option branch
7025
parameter, and if None is given will open the branch at basedir
7026
implicitly. (Robert Collins)
7028
* Cleaner exception structure and error reporting. Suggested by
7029
Scott James Remnant. (Martin Pool)
7031
* Branch.remove has been moved to WorkingTree, which has also gained
7032
``lock_read``, ``lock_write`` and ``unlock`` methods for convenience.
7035
* Two decorators, ``needs_read_lock`` and ``needs_write_lock`` have been
7036
added to the branch module. Use these to cause a function to run in a
7037
read or write lock respectively. (Robert Collins)
7039
* ``Branch.open_containing`` now returns a tuple (Branch, relative-path),
7040
which allows direct access to the common case of 'get me this file
7041
from its branch'. (Robert Collins)
7043
* Transports can register using ``register_lazy_transport``, and they
7044
will be loaded when first used. (Martin Pool)
7046
* 'pull' has been factored out of the command as ``WorkingTree.pull()``.
7047
A new option to WorkingTree.pull has been added, clobber, which will
7048
ignore diverged history and pull anyway.
7051
* config.Config has a ``get_user_option`` call that accepts an option name.
7052
This will be looked up in branches.conf and bazaar.conf as normal.
7053
It is intended that this be used by plugins to support options -
7054
options of built in programs should have specific methods on the config.
7057
* ``merge.merge_inner`` now has tempdir as an optional parameter.
7060
* Tree.kind is not recorded at the top level of the hierarchy, as it was
7061
missing on EmptyTree, leading to a bug with merge on EmptyTrees.
7064
* ``WorkingTree.__del__`` has been removed, it was non deterministic and not
7065
doing what it was intended to. See ``WorkingTree.__init__`` for a comment
7066
about future directions. (Robert Collins/Martin Pool)
7068
* bzrlib.transport.http has been modified so that only 404 urllib errors
7069
are returned as NoSuchFile. Other exceptions will propogate as normal.
7070
This allows debuging of actual errors. (Robert Collins)
7072
* bzrlib.transport.Transport now accepts *ONLY* url escaped relative paths
7073
to apis like 'put', 'get' and 'has'. This is to provide consistent
7074
behaviour - it operates on url's only. (Robert Collins)
7076
* Transports can register using ``register_lazy_transport``, and they
7077
will be loaded when first used. (Martin Pool)
7079
* ``merge_flex`` no longer calls ``conflict_handler.finalize()``, instead that
7080
is called by ``merge_inner``. This is so that the conflict count can be
7081
retrieved (and potentially manipulated) before returning to the caller
7082
of ``merge_inner``. Likewise 'merge' now returns the conflict count to the
7083
caller. (Robert Collins)
7085
* ``revision.revision_graph`` can handle having only partial history for
7086
a revision - that is no revisions in the graph with no parents.
7089
* New ``builtins.branch_files`` uses the standard ``file_list`` rules to
7090
produce a branch and a list of paths, relative to that branch
7093
* New TestCase.addCleanup facility.
7095
* New ``bzrlib.version_info`` tuple (similar to ``sys.version_info``),
7096
which can be used by programs importing bzrlib.
7100
* Better handling of branches in directories with non-ascii names.
7101
(Joel Rosdahl, Panagiotis Papadakos)
7103
* Upgrades of trees with no commits will not fail due to accessing
7104
[-1] in the revision-history. (Andres Salomon)
7107
bzr 0.1.1 2005-10-12
7108
--------------------
7112
* Fix problem in pulling over http from machines that do not
7113
allow directories to be listed.
7115
* Avoid harmless warning about invalid hash cache after
7116
upgrading branch format.
7120
* Avoid some unnecessary http operations in branch and pull.
7128
* 'bzr branch' over http initially gives a very high estimate
7129
of completion time but it should fall as the first few
7130
revisions are pulled in. branch is still slow on
7131
high-latency connections.
7135
* bzr-man.py has been updated to work again. Contributed by
7138
* Locking is now done with fcntl.lockf which works with NFS
7139
file systems. Contributed by Harald Meland.
7141
* When a merge encounters a file that has been deleted on
7142
one side and modified on the other, the old contents are
7143
written out to foo.BASE and foo.SIDE, where SIDE is this
7144
or OTHER. Contributed by Aaron Bentley.
7146
* Export was choosing incorrect file paths for the content of
7147
the tarball, this has been fixed by Aaron Bentley.
7149
* Commit will no longer commit without a log message, an
7150
error is returned instead. Contributed by Jelmer Vernooij.
7152
* If you commit a specific file in a sub directory, any of its
7153
parent directories that are added but not listed will be
7154
automatically included. Suggested by Michael Ellerman.
7156
* bzr commit and upgrade did not correctly record new revisions
7157
for files with only a change to their executable status.
7158
bzr will correct this when it encounters it. Fixed by
7161
* HTTP tests now force off the use of ``http_proxy`` for the duration.
7162
Contributed by Gustavo Niemeyer.
7164
* Fix problems in merging weave-based branches that have
7165
different partial views of history.
7167
* Symlink support: working with symlinks when not in the root of a
7168
bzr tree was broken, patch from Scott James Remnant.
7172
* 'branch' now accepts a --basis parameter which will take advantage
7173
of local history when making a new branch. This allows faster
7174
branching of remote branches. Contributed by Aaron Bentley.
7176
* New tree format based on weave files, called version 5.
7177
Existing branches can be upgraded to this format using
7180
* Symlinks are now versionable. Initial patch by
7181
Erik Toubro Nielsen, updated to head by Robert Collins.
7183
* Executable bits are tracked on files. Patch from Gustavo
7186
* 'bzr status' now shows unknown files inside a selected directory.
7187
Patch from Heikki Paajanen.
7189
* Merge conflicts are recorded in .bzr. Two new commands 'conflicts'
7190
and 'resolve' have needed added, which list and remove those
7191
merge conflicts respectively. A conflicted tree cannot be committed
7192
in. Contributed by Aaron Bentley.
7194
* 'rm' is now an alias for 'remove'.
7196
* Stores now split out their content in a single byte prefixed hash,
7197
dropping the density of files per directory by 256. Contributed by
7200
* 'bzr diff -r branch:URL' will now perform a diff between two branches.
7201
Contributed by Robert Collins.
7203
* 'bzr log' with the default formatter will show merged revisions,
7204
indented to the right. Initial implementation contributed by Gustavo
7205
Niemeyer, made incremental by Robert Collins.
7210
* Test case failures have the exception printed after the log
7211
for your viewing pleasure.
7213
* InventoryEntry is now an abstract base class, use one of the
7214
concrete InventoryDirectory etc classes instead.
7216
* Branch raises an UnsupportedFormatError when it detects a
7217
bzr branch it cannot understand. This allows for precise
7218
handling of such circumstances.
7220
* Remove RevisionReference class; ``Revision.parent_ids`` is now simply a
7221
list of their ids and ``parent_sha1s`` is a list of their corresponding
7222
sha1s (for old branches only at the moment.)
7224
* New method-object style interface for Commit() and Fetch().
7226
* Renamed ``Branch.last_patch()`` to ``Branch.last_revision()``, since
7227
we call them revisions not patches.
7229
* Move ``copy_branch`` to ``bzrlib.clone.copy_branch``. The destination
7230
directory is created if it doesn't exist.
7232
* Inventories now identify the files which were present by
7233
giving the revision *of that file*.
7235
* Inventory and Revision XML contains a version identifier.
7236
This must be consistent with the overall branch version
7237
but allows for more flexibility in future upgrades.
7241
* Removed testsweet module so that tests can be run after
7242
bzr installed by 'bzr selftest'.
7244
* 'bzr selftest' command-line arguments can now be partial ids
7245
of tests to run, e.g. ``bzr selftest test_weave``
7248
bzr 0.0.9 2005-09-23
7249
--------------------
7253
* Fixed "branch -r" option.
7255
* Fix remote access to branches containing non-compressed history.
7258
* Better reliability of http server tests. (John Arbash-Meinel)
7260
* Merge graph maximum distance calculation fix. (Aaron Bentley)
7262
* Various minor bug in windows support have been fixed, largely in the
7263
test suite. Contributed by Alexander Belchenko.
7267
* Status now accepts a -r argument to give status between chosen
7268
revisions. Contributed by Heikki Paajanen.
7270
* Revision arguments no longer use +/-/= to control ranges, instead
7271
there is a 'before' namespace, which limits the successive namespace.
7272
For example '$ bzr log -r date:yesterday..before:date:today' will
7273
select everything from yesterday and before today. Contributed by
7276
* There is now a bzr.bat file created by distutils when building on
7277
Windows. Contributed by Alexander Belchenko.
7281
* Removed uuid() as it was unused.
7283
* Improved 'fetch' code for pulling revisions from one branch into
7284
another (used by pull, merged, etc.)
7287
bzr 0.0.8 2005-09-20
7288
--------------------
7292
* Adding a file whose parent directory is not versioned will
7293
implicitly add the parent, and so on up to the root. This means
7294
you should never need to explictly add a directory, they'll just
7295
get added when you add a file in the directory. Contributed by
7298
* Ignore ``.DS_Store`` (contains Mac metadata) by default.
7301
* If you set ``BZR_EDITOR`` in the environment, it is checked in
7302
preference to EDITOR and the config file for the interactive commit
7303
editing program. Related to this is a bugfix where a missing program
7304
set in EDITOR would cause editing to fail, now the fallback program
7305
for the operating system is still tried.
7307
* Files that are not directories/symlinks/regular files will no longer
7308
cause bzr to fail, it will just ignore them by default. You cannot add
7309
them to the tree though - they are not versionable.
7314
* Refactor xml packing/unpacking.
7318
* Fixed 'bzr mv' by Ollie Rutherfurd.
7320
* Fixed strange error when trying to access a nonexistent http
7323
* Make sure that the hashcache gets written out if it can't be
7329
* Various Windows fixes from Ollie Rutherfurd.
7331
* Quieten warnings about locking; patch from Matt Lavin.
7334
bzr-0.0.7 2005-09-02
7335
--------------------
7339
* ``bzr shell-complete`` command contributed by Clint Adams to
7340
help with intelligent shell completion.
7342
* New expert command ``bzr find-merge-base`` for debugging merges.
7347
* Much better merge support.
7349
* merge3 conflicts are now reported with markers like '<<<<<<<'
7350
(seven characters) which is the same as CVS and pleases things
7356
* ``bzr upgrade`` no longer fails when trying to fix trees that
7357
mention revisions that are not present.
7359
* Fixed bugs in listing plugins from ``bzr plugins``.
7361
* Fix case of $EDITOR containing options for the editor.
7363
* Fix log -r refusing to show the last revision.
7364
(Patch from Goffredo Baroncelli.)
7369
* ``bzr log --show-ids`` shows the revision ids of all parents.
7371
* Externally provided commands on your $BZRPATH no longer need
7372
to recognize --bzr-usage to work properly, and can just handle
7378
* Changed trace messages to go through the standard logging
7379
framework, so that they can more easily be redirected by
7384
bzr-0.0.6 2005-08-18
7385
--------------------
7389
* Python plugins, automatically loaded from the directories on
7390
``BZR_PLUGIN_PATH`` or ``~/.bzr.conf/plugins`` by default.
7392
* New 'bzr mkdir' command.
7394
* Commit mesage is fetched from an editor if not given on the
7395
command line; patch from Torsten Marek.
7397
* ``bzr log -m FOO`` displays commits whose message matches regexp
7400
* ``bzr add`` with no arguments adds everything under the current directory.
7402
* ``bzr mv`` does move or rename depending on its arguments, like
7405
* ``bzr missing`` command shows a summary of the differences
7406
between two trees. (Merged from John Arbash-Meinel.)
7408
* An email address for commits to a particular tree can be
7409
specified by putting it into .bzr/email within a branch. (Based
7410
on a patch from Heikki Paajanen.)
7415
* Faster working tree operations.
7420
* 3rd-party modules shipped with bzr are copied within the bzrlib
7421
python package, so that they can be installed by the setup
7422
script without clashing with anything already existing on the
7423
system. (Contributed by Gustavo Niemeyer.)
7425
* Moved plugins directory to bzrlib/, so that there's a standard
7426
plugin directory which is not only installed with bzr itself but
7427
is also available when using bzr from the development tree.
7428
``BZR_PLUGIN_PATH`` and ``DEFAULT_PLUGIN_PATH`` are then added to the
7429
standard plugins directory.
7431
* When exporting to a tarball with ``bzr export --format tgz``, put
7432
everything under a top directory rather than dumping it into the
7433
current directory. This can be overridden with the ``--root``
7434
option. Patch from William Dodé and John Meinel.
7436
* New ``bzr upgrade`` command to upgrade the format of a branch,
7437
replacing ``bzr check --update``.
7439
* Files within store directories are no longer marked readonly on
7442
* Changed ``bzr log`` output to a more compact form suggested by
7443
John A Meinel. Old format is available with the ``--long`` or
7444
``-l`` option, patched by William Dodé.
7446
* By default the commit command refuses to record a revision with
7447
no changes unless the ``--unchanged`` option is given.
7449
* The ``--no-plugins``, ``--profile`` and ``--builtin`` command
7450
line options must come before the command name because they
7451
affect what commands are available; all other options must come
7452
after the command name because their interpretation depends on
7455
* ``branch`` and ``clone`` added as aliases for ``branch``.
7457
* Default log format is back to the long format; the compact one
7458
is available with ``--short``.
7463
* Fix bugs in committing only selected files or within a subdirectory.
7466
bzr-0.0.5 2005-06-15
7467
---------------------
7471
* ``bzr`` with no command now shows help rather than giving an
7472
error. Suggested by Michael Ellerman.
7474
* ``bzr status`` output format changed, because svn-style output
7475
doesn't really match the model of bzr. Now files are grouped by
7476
status and can be shown with their IDs. ``bzr status --all``
7477
shows all versioned files and unknown files but not ignored files.
7479
* ``bzr log`` runs from most-recent to least-recent, the reverse
7480
of the previous order. The previous behaviour can be obtained
7481
with the ``--forward`` option.
7483
* ``bzr inventory`` by default shows only filenames, and also ids
7484
if ``--show-ids`` is given, in which case the id is the second
7490
* New 'bzr whoami --email' option shows only the email component
7491
of the user identification, from Jo Vermeulen.
7493
* New ``bzr ignore PATTERN`` command.
7495
* Nicer error message for broken pipe, interrupt and similar
7496
conditions that don't indicate an internal error.
7498
* Add ``.*.sw[nop] .git .*.tmp *,v`` to default ignore patterns.
7500
* Per-branch locks keyed on ``.bzr/branch-lock``, available in
7501
either read or write mode.
7503
* New option ``bzr log --show-ids`` shows revision and file ids.
7505
* New usage ``bzr log FILENAME`` shows only revisions that
7508
* Changed format for describing changes in ``bzr log -v``.
7510
* New option ``bzr commit --file`` to take a message from a file,
7511
suggested by LarstiQ.
7513
* New syntax ``bzr status [FILE...]`` contributed by Bartosz
7514
Oler. File may be in a branch other than the working directory.
7516
* ``bzr log`` and ``bzr root`` can be given an http URL instead of
7519
* Commands can now be defined by external programs or scripts
7520
in a directory on $BZRPATH.
7522
* New "stat cache" avoids reading the contents of files if they
7523
haven't changed since the previous time.
7525
* If the Python interpreter is too old, try to find a better one
7526
or give an error. Based on a patch from Fredrik Lundh.
7528
* New optional parameter ``bzr info [BRANCH]``.
7530
* New form ``bzr commit SELECTED`` to commit only selected files.
7532
* New form ``bzr log -r FROM:TO`` shows changes in selected
7533
range; contributed by John A Meinel.
7535
* New option ``bzr diff --diff-options 'OPTS'`` allows passing
7536
options through to an external GNU diff.
7538
* New option ``bzr add --no-recurse`` to add a directory but not
7541
* ``bzr --version`` now shows more information if bzr is being run
7547
* Fixed diff format so that added and removed files will be
7548
handled properly by patch. Fix from Lalo Martins.
7550
* Various fixes for files whose names contain spaces or other
7556
* Converted black-box test suites from Bourne shell into Python;
7557
now run using ``./testbzr``. Various structural improvements to
7560
* testbzr by default runs the version of bzr found in the same
7561
directory as the tests, or the one given as the first parameter.
7563
* testbzr also runs the internal tests, so the only command
7564
required to check is just ``./testbzr``.
7566
* testbzr requires python2.4, but can be used to test bzr running
7567
under a different version.
7569
* Tests added for many other changes in this release.
7574
* Included ElementTree library upgraded to 1.2.6 by Fredrik Lundh.
7576
* Refactor command functions into Command objects based on HCT by
7577
Scott James Remnant.
7579
* Better help messages for many commands.
7581
* Expose ``bzrlib.open_tracefile()`` to start the tracefile; until
7582
this is called trace messages are just discarded.
7584
* New internal function ``find_touching_revisions()`` and hidden
7585
command touching-revisions trace the changes to a given file.
7587
* Simpler and faster ``compare_inventories()`` function.
7589
* ``bzrlib.open_tracefile()`` takes a tracefilename parameter.
7591
* New AtomicFile class.
7593
* New developer commands ``added``, ``modified``.
7598
* Cope on Windows on python2.3 by using the weaker random seed.
7599
2.4 is now only recommended.
7602
bzr-0.0.4 2005-04-22
7603
---------------------
7607
* 'bzr diff' optionally takes a list of files to diff. Still a bit
7608
basic. Patch from QuantumG.
7610
* More default ignore patterns.
7612
* New 'bzr log --verbose' shows a list of files changed in the
7613
changeset. Patch from Sebastian Cote.
7615
* Roll over ~/.bzr.log if it gets too large.
7617
* Command abbreviations 'ci', 'st', 'stat', '?' based on a patch
7620
* New 'bzr help commands' based on a patch from Denys Duchier.
7625
* User email is determined by looking at $BZREMAIL or ~/.bzr.email
7626
or $EMAIL. All are decoded by the locale preferred encoding.
7627
If none of these are present user@hostname is used. The host's
7628
fully-qualified name is not used because that tends to fail when
7629
there are DNS problems.
7631
* New 'bzr whoami' command instead of username user-email.
7636
* Make commit safe for hardlinked bzr trees.
7638
* Some Unicode/locale fixes.
7640
* Partial workaround for ``difflib.unified_diff`` not handling
7641
trailing newlines properly.
7646
* Allow docstrings for help to be in PEP0257 format. Patch from
7649
* More tests in test.sh.
7651
* Write profile data to a temporary file not into working
7652
directory and delete it when done.
7654
* Smaller .bzr.log with process ids.
7659
* Fix opening of ~/.bzr.log on Windows. Patch from Andrew
7662
* Some improvements in handling paths on Windows, based on a patch
7666
bzr-0.0.3 2005-04-06
7667
---------------------
7671
* New "directories" internal command lists versioned directories
7674
* Can now say "bzr commit --help".
7676
* New "rename" command to rename one file to a different name
7679
* New "move" command to move one or more files into a different
7682
* New "renames" command lists files renamed since base revision.
7684
* New cat command contributed by janmar.
7688
* .bzr.log is placed in $HOME (not pwd) and is always written in
7689
UTF-8. (Probably not a completely good long-term solution, but
7694
* Workaround for difflib bug in Python 2.3 that causes an
7695
exception when comparing empty files. Reported by Erik Toubro
7700
* Refactored inventory storage to insert a root entry at the top.
7704
* Start of shell-based black-box testing in test.sh.
7712
* Win32 fixes from Steve Brown.
7715
bzr-0.0.2 "black cube" 2005-03-31
7716
-----------------------------------
7720
* Default ignore list extended (see bzrlib/__init__.py).
7722
* Patterns in .bzrignore are now added to the default ignore list,
7723
rather than replacing it.
7725
* Ignore list isn't reread for every file.
7729
* Reinstate the 'bzr check' command to check invariants of the
7732
* New 'ignored' command lists which files are ignored and why;
7733
'deleted' lists files deleted in the current working tree.
7735
* Performance improvements.
7737
* New global --profile option.
7739
* Ignore patterns like './config.h' now correctly match files in
7740
the root directory only.
7743
bzr-0.0.1 2005-03-26
7744
---------------------
7748
* More information from info command.
7750
* Can now say "bzr help COMMAND" for more detailed help.
7752
* Less file flushing and faster performance when writing logs and
7753
committing to stores.
7755
* More useful verbose output from some commands.
7759
* Fix inverted display of 'R' and 'M' during 'commit -v'.
7763
* Include a subset of ElementTree-1.2.20040618 to make
7764
installation easier.
7766
* Fix time.localtime call to work with Python 2.3 (the minimum
