12
* By default, ``bzr status`` after a merge now shows just the pending
13
merge tip revisions. This improves the signal-to-noise ratio after
14
merging from trunk and completes much faster. To see all merged
15
revisions, use the new ``-v`` flag. (Ian Clatworthy)
17
* ``bzr log --line`` now shows any tags after the date and before
18
the commit message. If you have scripts which parse the output
19
from this command, you may need to adjust them accordingly.
24
* Add support for filtering `bzr missing` on revisions. Remote revisions
25
can be filtered using `bzr missing -r -20..-10` and local revisions can
26
be filtered using `bzr missing --my-revision -20..-10`.
29
* ``bzr log -p`` displays the patch diff for each revision.
30
When logging a file, the diff only includes changes to that file.
31
(Ian Clatworthy, #202331, #227335)
33
* ``bzr log`` supports a new option called ``-n N`` or ``--level N``.
34
A value of 0 (zero) means "show all nested merge revisions" while
35
a value of 1 (one) means "show just the top level". Values above
36
1 can be used to see a limited amount of nesting. That can be
37
useful for seeing the level or two below PQM submits for example.
38
To force the ``--short`` and ``--line`` formats to display all nested
39
merge revisions just like ``--long`` does by default, use a command
40
like ``bzr log --short -n0``. To display just the mainline using
41
``--long`` format, ``bzr log --long -n1``.
46
* ``bzr init`` will now print a little less verbose output.
49
* ``bzr log`` is now much faster in many use cases, particularly
50
at incrementally displaying results and filtering by a
51
revision range. (Ian Clatworthy)
53
* ``bzr log --short`` and ``bzr log --line`` now show tags, if any,
54
for each revision. The tags are shown comma-separated inside
55
``{}``. For short format, the tags appear at the end of line
56
before the optional ``[merge]`` indicator. For line format,
57
the tags appear after the date. (Ian Clatworthy)
59
* Progress bars now show the rate of activity for some sftp
60
operations, and they are drawn different. (Martin Pool, #172741)
62
* Rule-based preferences can now accept multiple patterns for a set of
63
rules. (Marius Kruger)
65
* The debugger started as a result of setting ``$BZR_PDB`` works
66
around a bug in ``pdb``, http://bugs.python.org/issue4150. The bug
67
can cause truncated tracebacks in Python versions before 2.6.
70
* VirtualVersionedFiles now implements
71
``iter_lines_added_or_present_in_keys``. This allows the creation of
72
new branches based on stacked bzr-svn branches. (#311997)
76
* ``bzr annotate --show-ids`` doesn't give a backtrace on empty files
78
(Anne Mohsen, Vincent Ladeuil, #314525)
80
* ``bzr log FILE`` now correctly shows mainline revisions merging
81
a change to FILE when the ``--short`` and ``--line`` log formats
82
are used. (Ian Clatworthy, #317417)
84
* ``bzr log -rX..Y FILE`` now shows the history of FILE provided
85
it existed in Y or X, even if the file has since been deleted or
86
renamed. If no range is given, the current/basis tree and
87
initial tree are searched in that order. More generally, log
88
now interprets filenames in their historical context.
89
(Ian Clatworthy, #175520)
91
* Don't require the present compression base in knits to be the same
92
when adding records in knits. (Jelmer Vernooij, #307394)
94
* Fix a problem with CIFS client/server lag on Windows colliding with
95
an invariant-per-process algorithm for generating AtomicFile names
96
(Adrian Wilkins, #304023)
98
* Many socket operations now handle EINTR by retrying the operation.
99
Previously EINTR was treated as an unrecoverable failure. There is
100
a new ``until_no_eintr`` helper function in ``bzrlib.osutils``.
103
* Support symlinks with non-ascii characters in the symlink filename.
104
(Jelmer Vernooij, #319323)
106
* There was a bug in how we handled resolving when a file is deleted
107
in one branch, and modified in the other. If there was a criss-cross
108
merge, we would cause the deletion to conflict a second time.
109
(Vincent Ladeuil, John Arbash Meinel)
111
* There was another bug in how we chose the correct intermediate LCA in
112
criss-cross merges leading to several kind of changes be incorrectly
114
(John Arbash Meinel, Vincent Ladeuil)
118
* Improved plugin developer documentation. (Martin Pool)
122
* ``ProgressBarStack`` is deprecated; instead use
123
``ui_factory.nested_progress_bar`` to create new progress bars.
125
* ForeignVcsMapping() now requires a ForeignVcs object as first
126
argument. (Jelmer Vernooij)
128
* ForeignVcsMapping.show_foreign_revid() has been moved to
129
ForeignVcs. (Jelmer Vernooij)
131
* Revision specifiers are now registered in
132
``bzrlib.revisionspec.revspec_registry``, and the old list of
133
revisionspec classes (``bzrlib.revisionspec.SPEC_TYPES``) has been
134
deprecated. (Jelmer Vernooij, #321183)
136
* The progress and UI classes have changed; the main APIs remain the
137
same but code that provides a new UI or progress bar class may
138
need to be updated. (Martin Pool)
144
* Default User Interface (UI) is CLIUIFactory when bzr runs in a dumb
145
terminal. It is sometimes desirable do override this default by forcing
146
bzr to use TextUIFactory. This can be achieved by setting the
147
BZR_USE_TEXT_UI environment variable (emacs shells, as opposed to
148
compile buffers, are such an example).
151
* New API ``Branch.iter_merge_sorted_revisions()`` that iterates over
152
``(revision_id, depth, revno, end_of_merge)`` tuples.
155
* New ``Branch.dotted_revno_to_revision_id()`` and
156
``Branch.revision_id_to_dotted_revno()`` APIs that pick the most
157
efficient way of doing the mapping.
160
* Refactor cmd_serve so that it's a little easier to build commands that
161
extend it, and perhaps even a bit easier to read. (Jonathan Lange)
163
* ``TreeDelta.show()`` now accepts a ``filter`` parameter allowing log
164
formatters to retrict the output.
168
bzr 1.11 "Eyes up!" 2009-01-19
169
------------------------------
171
This first monthly release of Bazaar for 2009 improves Bazaar's operation
172
in Windows, Mac OS X, and other situations where file names are matched
173
without regard to capitalization: Bazaar tries to match the case of an
174
existing file. This release of Bazaar also improves the efficiency of
175
Tortoise Windows Shell integration and lets it work on 64-bit platforms.
177
The UI through which Bazaar supports historic formats has been improved,
178
so 'bzr help formats' now gives a simpler and shorter list, with clear
181
This release also fixes a number of bugs, particularly a glitch that can
182
occur when there are concurrent writes to a pack repository.
186
* Fix failing test when CompiledChunksToLines is not available.
189
* Stacked branches don't repeatedly open their transport connection.
194
bzr 1.11rc1 "Eyes up!" 2009-01-09
195
---------------------------------
199
* Formats using Knit-based repository formats are now explicitly
200
marked as deprecated. (Ian Clatworthy)
204
* Add support for `bzr tags -r 1..2`, that is we now support showing
205
tags applicable for a specified revision range. (Marius Kruger)
207
* ``authentication.conf`` now accepts pluggable read-only credential
208
stores. Such a plugin (``netrc_credential_store``) is now included,
209
handles the ``$HOME/.netrc`` file and can server as an example to
210
implement other plugins.
213
* ``shelve --list`` can now be used to list shelved changes.
218
* Add trailing slash to directories in all output of ``bzr ls``, except
219
``bzr ls --null``. (Gordon P. Hemsley, #306424)
221
* ``bzr revision-info`` now supports a -d option to specify an
222
alternative branch. (Michael Hudson)
224
* Add connection to a C++ implementation of the Windows Shell Extension
225
which is able to fully replace the current Python implemented one.
226
Advantages include 64bit support and reduction in overhead for
227
processes which drag in shell extensions.
230
* Support the Claws mail client directly, rather than via
231
xdg-email. This prevents the display of an unnecessary modal
232
dialog in Claws, informing the user that a file has been
233
attached to the message, and works around bug #291847 in
234
xdg-utils which corrupts the destination address.
236
* When working on a case-insensitive case-preserving file-system, as
237
commonly found with Windows, bzr will often ignore the case of the
238
arguments specified by the user in preference to the case of an existing
239
item on the file-system or in the inventory to help prevent
240
counter-intuitive behaviour on Windows. (Mark Hammond)
244
* Allow BzrDir implementation to implement backing up of
245
control directory. (#139691)
247
* ``bzr push`` creating a new stacked branch will now only open a
248
single connection to the target machine. (John Arbash Meinel)
250
* Don't call iteritems on transport_list_registry, because it may
251
change during iteration. (Martin Pool, #277048)
253
* Don't make a broken branch when pushing an unstackable-format branch
254
that's in a stackable shared repository to a location with default
255
stack-on location. (Andrew Bennetts, #291046)
257
* Don't require embedding user in HTTP(S) URLs do use authentication.conf.
258
(Ben Jansen, Vincent Ladeuil, #300347)
260
* Fix a problem with CIFS client/server lag on windows colliding with
261
an invariant-per-process algorithm for generating AtomicFile names
262
(Adrian Wilkins, #304023)
264
* Fix bogus setUp signature in UnavailableFTPServer.
265
(Gary van der Merwe, #313498)
267
* Fix compilation error in ``_dirstate_helpers_c`` on SunOS/Solaris.
270
* Fix SystemError in ``_patiencediff_c`` module by calling
271
PyErr_NoMemory() before returning NULL in PatienceSequenceMatcher_new.
272
(Andrew Bennetts, #303206)
274
* Give proper error message for diff with non-existent dotted revno.
275
(Marius Kruger, #301969)
277
* Handle EACCES (permission denied) errors when launching a message
278
editor, and emit warnings when a configured editor cannot be
279
started. (Andrew Bennetts)
281
* ``$HOME/.netrc`` file is now recognized as a read-only credential store
282
if configured in ``authentication.conf`` with 'password_encoding=netrc'
283
in the appropriate sections.
284
(Vincent Ladeuil, #103029)
286
* Opening a stacked branch now properly shares the connection, rather
287
than opening a new connection for the stacked-on branch.
290
* Preserve transport decorators while following redirections.
291
(Vincent Ladeuil, #245964, #270863)
293
* Provides a finer and more robust filter for accepted redirections.
294
(Vincent Ladeuil, #303959, #265070)
296
* ``shelve`` paths are now interpreted relative to the current working
297
tree. (Aaron Bentley)
299
* ``Transport.readv()`` defaults to not reading more than 100MB in a
300
single array. Further ``RemoteTransport.readv`` sets this to 5MB to
301
work better with how it splits its requests.
302
(John Arbash Meinel, #303538)
304
* Pack repositories are now able to reload the pack listing and retry
305
the current operation if another action causes the data to be
306
repacked. (John Arbash Meinel, #153786)
308
* ``pull -v`` now respects the log_format configuration variable.
311
* ``push -v`` now works on non-initial pushes. (Aaron Bentley)
313
* Use the short status format when the short format is used for log.
314
(Vincent Ladeuil, #87179)
316
* Allow files to be renamed or moved via remove + add-by-id. (Charles
321
* Improved the formats help topic to explain why multiple formats
322
exist and to provide guidelines in selecting one. Introduced
323
two new supporting help topics: current-formats and other-formats.
328
* ``LRUCache(after_cleanup_size)`` was renamed to
329
``after_cleanup_count`` and the old name deprecated. The new name is
330
used for clarity, and to avoid confusion with
331
``LRUSizeCache(after_cleanup_size)``. (John Arbash Meinel)
333
* New ``ForeignRepository`` base class, to help with foreign branch
334
support (e.g. svn). (Jelmer Vernooij)
336
* ``node_distances`` and ``select_farthest`` can no longer be imported
337
from ``bzrlib.graph``. They can still be imported from
338
``bzrlib.deprecated_graph``, which has been the preferred way to
339
import them since before 1.0. (Andrew Bennetts)
341
* The logic in commit now delegates inventory basis calculations to
342
the ``CommitBuilder`` object; this requires that the commit builder
343
in use has been updated to support the new ``recording_deletes`` and
344
``record_delete`` methods. (Robert Collins)
348
* An HTTPS server is now available (it requires python-2.6). Future bzr
349
versions will allow the use of the python-2.6 ssl module that can be
350
installed for 2.5 and 2.4.
352
* ``bzr selftest`` now fails if new trailing white space is added to
353
the bazaar sources. It only checks changes not committed yet. This
354
means that PQM will now reject changes that introduce new trailing
355
whitespace. (Marius Kruger)
357
* Introduced new experimental formats called ``1.12-preview`` and
358
``1.12-preview-rich-root`` to enable testing of related pending
359
features, namely content filtering and filtered views.
364
* Added an ``InventoryEntry`` cache when deserializing inventories.
365
Can cut the time to iterate over multiple RevisionsTrees in half.
368
* Added ``bzrlib.fifo_cache.FIFOCache`` which is designed to have
369
minimal overhead versus using a plain dict for cache hits, at the
370
cost of not preserving the 'active' set as well as an ``LRUCache``.
373
* ``bzrlib.patience_diff.unified_diff`` now properly uses a tab
374
character to separate the filename from the date stamp, and doesn't
375
add trailing whitespace when a date stamp is not supplied.
376
(Adeodato Simó, John Arbash Meinel)
378
* ``DirStateWorkingTree`` and ``DirStateWorkingTreeFormat`` added
379
as base classes of ``WorkingTree4`` and ``WorkingTreeFormat4``
380
respectively. (Ian Clatworthy)
382
* ``KnitVersionedFiles._check_should_delta()`` now uses the
383
``get_build_details`` api to avoid multiple hits to the index, and
384
to properly follow the ``compression_parent`` rather than assuming
385
it is the left-hand parent. (John Arbash Meinel)
387
* ``KnitVersionedFiles.get_record_stream()`` will now chose a
388
more optimal ordering when the keys are requested 'unordered'.
389
Previously the order was fully random, now the records should be
390
returned from each pack in turn, in forward I/O order.
393
* ``mutter()`` will now flush the ``~/.bzr.log`` if it has been more
394
than 2s since the last time it flushed. (John Arbash Meinel)
396
* New method ``bzrlib.repository.Repository.add_inventory_by_delta``
397
allows adding an inventory via an inventory delta, which can be
398
more efficient for some repository types. (Robert Collins)
400
* Repository ``CommitBuilder`` objects can now accumulate an inventory
401
delta. To enable this functionality call ``builder.recording_deletes``
402
and additionally call ``builder.record_delete`` when a delete
403
against the basis occurs. (Robert Collins)
405
* The default http handler has been changed from pycurl to urllib.
406
The default is still pycurl for https connections. (The only
407
advantage of pycurl is that it checks ssl certificates.)
410
* ``VersionedFiles.get_record_stream()`` can now return objects with a
411
storage_kind of ``chunked``. This is a collection (list/tuple) of
412
strings. You can use ``osutils.chunks_to_lines()`` to turn them into
413
guaranteed 'lines' or you can use ``''.join(chunks)`` to turn it
414
into a fulltext. This allows for some very good memory savings when
415
asking for many texts that share ancestry, as the individual chunks
416
can be shared between versions of the file. (John Arbash Meinel)
418
* ``pull -v`` and ``push -v`` use new function
419
``bzrlib.log.show_branch_change`` (Aaron Bentley)
426
Bazaar 1.10 has several performance improvements for copying revisions
427
(especially for small updates to large projects). There has also been a
428
significant amount of effort in polishing stacked branches. The commands
429
``shelve`` and ``unshelve`` have become core commands, with an improved
432
The only changes versus bzr-1.10rc1 are bugfixes for stacked branches.
436
* Don't set a pack write cache size from RepoFetcher, because the
437
cache is not coherent with reads and causes ShortReadvErrors.
438
This reverses the change that fixed #294479.
439
(Martin Pool, #303856)
441
* Properly handle when a revision can be inserted as a delta versus
442
when it needs to be expanded to a fulltext for stacked branches.
443
There was a bug involving merge revisions. As a method to help
444
prevent future difficulties, also make stacked fetches sort
445
topologically. (John Arbash Meinel, #304841)
448
bzr 1.10rc1 2008-11-28
449
----------------------
451
This release of Bazaar focuses on performance improvements when pushing
452
and pulling revisions, both locally and to remote networks. The popular
453
``shelve`` and ``unshelve`` commands, used to interactively revert and
454
restore work in progress, have been merged from bzrtools into the bzr
455
core. There are also bug fixes for portability, and for stacked branches.
459
* New ``commit_message_template`` hook that is called by the commit
460
code to generate a template commit message. (Jelmer Vernooij)
462
* New `shelve` and `unshelve` commands allow undoing and redoing changes.
467
* ``(Remote)Branch.copy_content_into`` no longer generates the full revision
468
history just to set the last revision info.
469
(Andrew Bennetts, John Arbash Meinel)
471
* Fetches between formats with different serializers (such as
472
pack-0.92-subtree and 1.9-rich-root) are faster now. This is due to
473
operating on batches of 100 revisions at time rather than
474
one-by-one. (Andrew Bennetts, John Arbash Meinel)
476
* Search index files corresponding to pack files we've already used
477
before searching others, because they are more likely to have the
478
keys we're looking for. This reduces the number of iix and tix
479
files accessed when pushing 1 new revision, for instance.
482
* Signatures to transfer are calculated more efficiently in
483
``item_keys_introduced_by``. (Andrew Bennetts, John Arbash Meinel)
485
* The generic fetch code can once again copy revisions and signatures
486
without extracting them completely to fulltexts and then serializing
487
them back down into byte strings. This is a significant performance
488
improvement when fetching from a stacked branch.
489
(John Arbash Meinel, #300289)
491
* When making a large readv() request over ``bzr+ssh``, break up the
492
request into more manageable chunks. Because the RPC is not yet able
493
to stream, this helps keep us from buffering too much information at
494
once. (John Arbash Meinel)
498
* Better message when the user needs to set their Launchpad ID.
499
(Martin Pool, #289148)
501
* ``bzr commit --local`` doesn't access the master branch anymore.
502
This fixes a regression introduced in 1.9. (Marius Kruger, #299313)
504
* Don't call the system ``chdir()`` with an empty path. Sun OS seems
505
to give an error in that case. Also, don't count on ``getcwd()``
506
being able to allocate a new buffer, which is a gnu extension.
507
(John Arbash Meinel, Martin Pool, Harry Hirsch, #297831)
509
* Don't crash when requesting log --forward <file> for a revision range
510
starting with a dotted revno.
511
(Vincent Ladeuil, #300055)
513
* Don't create text deltas spanning stacked repositories; this could
514
cause "Revision X not present in Y" when later accessing them.
515
(Martin Pool, #288751)
517
* Pack repositories are now able to reload the pack listing and retry
518
the current operation if another action causes the data to be
519
repacked. (John Arbash Meinel, #153786)
521
* PermissionDenied errors from smart servers no longer cause
522
"PermissionDenied: "None"" on the client.
523
(Andrew Bennetts, #299254)
525
* Pushing to a stacked pack repository now batches writes, the same
526
way writes are batched to ordinary pack repository. This makes
527
pushing to a stacked branch over the network much faster.
528
(Andrew Bennetts, #294479)
530
* TooManyConcurrentRequests no longer occur when a fetch fails and
531
tries to abort a write group. This allows the root cause (e.g. a
532
network interruption) to be reported. (Andrew Bennetts, #297014)
534
* RemoteRepository.get_parent_map now uses fallback repositories.
535
(Aaron Bentley, #297991?, #293679?)
539
* ``CommitBuilder`` now validates the strings it will be committing,
540
to ensure that they do not have characters that will not be properly
541
round-tripped. For now, it just checks for characters that are
542
invalid in the XML form. (John Arbash Meinel, #295161)
544
* Constructor parameters for NewPack (internal to pack repositories)
545
have changed incompatibly.
547
* ``Repository.abort_write_group`` now accepts an optional
548
``suppress_errors`` flag. Repository implementations that override
549
``abort_write_group`` will need to be updated to accept the new
550
argument. Subclasses that only override ``_abort_write_group``
551
don't need to change.
553
* Transport implementations must provide copy_tree_to_transport. A default
554
implementation is provided for Transport subclasses.
558
* ``bzr selftest`` now fails if no doctests are found in a module
559
that's expected to have them. (Martin Pool)
561
* Doctests now only report the first failure. (Martin Pool)
567
This release of Bazaar adds a new repository format, ``1.9``, with smaller
568
and more efficient index files. This format can be specified when
569
creating a new repository, or used to losslessly upgrade an existing
570
repository. bzr 1.9 also speeds most operations over the smart server
571
protocol, makes annotate faster, and uses less memory when making
572
checkouts or pulling large amounts of data.
576
* Fix "invalid property value 'branch-nick' for None" regression with
577
branches bound to svn branches. (Martin Pool, #293440)
579
* Fix SSL/https on Python2.6. (Vincent Ladeuil, #293054)
581
* ``SFTPTransport.readv()`` had a bug when requests were out-of-order.
582
This only triggers some-of-the-time on Knit format repositories.
583
(John Arbash Meinel, #293746)
586
bzr 1.9rc1 2008-10-31
587
---------------------
591
* New Branch hook ``transform_fallback_location`` allows a function to
592
be called when looking up the stacked source. (Michael Hudson)
594
* New repository formats ``1.9`` and ``1.9-rich-root``. These have all
595
the functionality of ``1.6``, but use the new btree indexes.
596
These indexes are both smaller and faster for access to historical
597
information. (John Arbash Meinel)
601
* ``BTreeIndex`` code now is able to prefetch extra pages to help tune
602
the tradeoff between bandwidth and latency. Should be tuned
603
appropriately to not impact commands which need minimal information,
604
but provide a significant boost to ones that need more context. Only
605
has a direct impact on the ``--development2`` format which uses
606
btree's for the indexes. (John Arbash Meinel)
608
* ``bzr dump-btree`` is a hidden command introduced to allow dumping
609
the contents of a compressed btree file. (John Arbash Meinel)
611
* ``bzr pack`` now tells the index builders to optimize for size. For
612
btree index repositories, this can save 25% of the index size
613
(mostly in the text indexes). (John Arbash Meinel)
615
* ``bzr push`` to an existing branch or repository on a smart server
616
is faster, due to Bazaar making more use of the ``get_parent_map``
617
RPC when querying the remote branch's revision graph.
620
* default username for bzr+ssh and sftp can be configured in
621
authentication.conf. (Aaron Bentley)
623
* launchpad-login now provides a default username for bzr+ssh and sftp
624
URLs, allowing username-free URLs to work for everyone. (Aaron Bentley)
626
* ``lp:`` lookups no longer include usernames, making them shareable and
627
shorter. (Aaron Bentley)
629
* New ``PackRepository.autopack`` smart server RPC, which does
630
autopacking entirely on the server. This is much faster than
631
autopacking via plain file methods, which downloads a large amount
632
of pack data and then re-uploads the same pack data into a single
633
file. This fixes a major (although infrequent) cause of lengthy
634
delays when using a smart server. For example, pushing the 10th
635
revision to a repository with 9 packs now takes 44 RPCs rather than
636
179, and much less bandwidth too. This requires Bazaar 1.9 on both
637
the client and the server, otherwise the client will fallback to the
638
slower method. (Andrew Bennetts)
642
* A failure to load a plugin due to an IncompatibleAPI exception is
643
now correctly reported. (Robert Collins, #279451)
645
* API versioning support now has a multiple-version checking api
646
``require_any_api``. (Robert Collins, #279447)
648
* ``bzr branch --stacked`` from a smart server to a standalone branch
649
works again. This fixes a regression in 1.7 and 1.8.
650
(Andrew Bennetts, #270397)
652
* ``bzr co`` uses less memory. It used to unpack the entire WT into
653
memory before writing it to disk. This was a little bit faster, but
654
consumed lots of memory. (John Arbash Meinel, #269456)
656
* ``bzr missing --quiet`` no longer prints messages about whether
657
there are missing revisions. The exit code indicates whether there
658
were or not. (Martin Pool, #284748)
660
* Fixes to the ``annotate`` code. The fast-path which re-used the
661
stored deltas was accidentally disabled all the time, instead of
662
only when a branch was stacked. Second, the code would accidentally
663
re-use a delta even if it wasn't against the left-parent, this
664
could only happen if ``bzr reconcile`` decided that the parent
665
ordering was incorrect in the file graph. (John Arbash Meinel)
667
* "Permission denied" errors that occur when pushing a new branch to a
668
smart server no longer cause tracebacks. (Andrew Bennetts, #278673)
670
* Some compatibility fixes for building the extensions with MSVC and
671
for python2.4. (John Arbash Meinel, #277484)
673
* The index logic is now able to reload the list of pack files if and
674
index ends up disappearing. We still don't reload if the pack data
675
itself goes missing after checking the index. This bug appears as a
676
transient failure (file not found) when another process is writing
677
to the repository. (John Arbash Meinel, #153786)
679
* ``bzr switch`` and ``bzr bind`` will now update the branch nickname if
680
it was previously set. All checkouts will now refer to the bound branch
681
for a nickname if one was not explicitly set.
682
(Marius Kruger, #230903)
686
* Improved hook documentation. (Michael Ernst)
690
* commands.plugins_cmds is now a CommandRegistry, not a dict.
694
* New AuthenticationConfig.set_credentials method allows easy programmatic
695
configuration of authetication credentials.
701
Bazaar 1.8 includes several fixes that improve working tree performance,
702
display of revision logs, and merges. The bzr testsuite now passes on OS
703
X and Python 2.6, and almost completely passes on Windows. The
704
smartserver code has gained several bug fixes and performance
705
improvements, and can now run server-side hooks within an http server.
709
* Fix "Must end write group" error when another error occurs during
710
``bzr push``. (Andrew Bennetts, #230902)
714
* Some Pyrex versions require the WIN32 macro defined to compile on
715
that platform. (Alexander Belchenko, Martin Pool, #277481)
718
bzr 1.8rc1 2008-10-07
719
---------------------
723
* ``bzr log file`` has been changed. It now uses a different method
724
for determining which revisions to show as merging the changes to
725
the file. It now only shows revisions which merged the change
726
towards your mainline. This simplifies the output, makes it faster,
727
and reduces memory consumption. (John Arbash Meinel)
729
* ``bzr merge`` now defaults to having ``--reprocess`` set, whenever
730
``--show-base`` is not supplied. (John Arbash Meinel)
732
* ``bzr+http//`` will now optionally load plugins and write logs on the
733
server. (Marius Kruger)
735
* ``bzrlib._dirstate_helpers_c.pyx`` does not compile correctly with
736
Pyrex 0.9.4.1 (it generates C code which causes segfaults). We
737
explicitly blacklist that version of the compiler for that
738
extension. Packaged versions will include .c files created with
739
pyrex >= 0.9.6 so it doesn't effect releases, only users running
740
from the source tree. (John Arbash Meinel, #276868)
744
* bzr is now compatible with python-2.6. python-2.6 is not yet officially
745
supported (nor released, tests were conducted with the dev version of
746
python-2.6rc2), but all known problems have been fixed. Feedback
748
(Vincent Ladeuil, #269535)
752
* ``bzr annotate`` will now include uncommitted changes from the local
753
working tree by default. Such uncommitted changes are given the
754
revision number they would get if a commit was done, followed with a
755
? to indicate that its not actually known. (Robert Collins, #3439)
757
* ``bzr branch`` now accepts a ``--standalone`` option, which creates a
758
standalone branch regardless of the presence of shared repositories.
761
* ``bzr push`` is faster in the case there are no new revisions to
762
push. It is also faster if there are no tags in the local branch.
765
* File changes during a commit will update the tree stat cache.
768
* Location aliases can now accept a trailing path. (Micheal Hudson)
770
* New hooks ``Lock.hooks`` when LockDirs are acquired and released.
771
(Robert Collins, MartinPool)
773
* Switching in heavyweight checkouts uses the master branch's context, not
774
the checkout's context. (Adrian Wilkins)
776
* ``status`` on large trees is now faster, due to optimisations in the
777
walkdirs code. Of particular note, the walkdirs code now performs
778
a temporary ``chdir()`` while reading a single directory; if your
779
platform has non thread-local current working directories (and is
780
not windows which has its own implementation), this may introduce a
781
race condition during concurrent uses of bzrlib. The bzrlib CLI
782
will not encounter this as it is single threaded for working tree
783
operations. (Robert Collins)
785
* The C extensions now build on python 2.4 (Robert Collins, #271939)
787
* The ``-Dhpss`` debug flag now reports the number of smart server
788
calls per medium to stderr. This is in addition to the existing
789
detailed logging to the .bzr.log trace file. (Andrew Bennetts)
793
* Avoid random failures arising from misinterpreted ``errno`` values
794
in ``_readdir_pyx.read_dir``.
795
(Martin Pool, #279381)
797
* Branching from a shared repository on a smart server into a new
798
repository now preserves the repository format.
799
(Andrew Bennetts, #269214)
801
* ``bzr log`` now accepts a ``--change`` option.
802
(Vincent Ladeuil, #248427)
804
* ``bzr missing`` now accepts an ``--include-merges`` option.
805
(Vincent Ladeuil, #233817)
807
* Don't try to filter (internally) '.bzr' from the files to be deleted if
809
(Vincent Ladeuil, #272648)
811
* Fix '_in_buffer' AttributeError when using the -Dhpss debug flag.
814
* Fix TooManyConcurrentRequests errors caused by a connection failure
815
when doing ``bzr pull`` or ``bzr merge`` from a ``bzr+ssh`` URL.
816
(Andrew Bennetts, #246233)
818
* Fixed ``bzr st -r branch:PATH_TO_BRANCH`` where the other branch
819
is in a different repository than the current one.
820
(Lukáš Lalinský, #144421)
822
* Make the first line of the manpage preamble a comment again.
823
(David Futcher, #242106)
825
* Remove use of optional parameter in GSSAPI FTP support, since
826
it breaks newer versions of Python-Kerberos. (Jelmer Vernooij)
828
* The autopacking logic will now always create a single new pack from
829
all of the content which it deems is worth moving. This avoids the
830
'repack a single pack' bug and should result in better packing
831
overall. (John Arbash Meinel, #242510, #172644)
833
* Trivial documentation fix.
834
(John Arbash Meinel, #270471)
836
* ``bzr switch`` and ``bzr bind`` will now update the branch nickname if
837
it was previously set. All checkouts will now refer to the bound branch
838
for a nickname if one was not explicitly set.
839
(Marius Kruger, #230903)
843
* Explain revision/range identifiers. (Daniel Clemente)
847
* ``CommitBuilder.record_entry_contents`` returns one more element in
848
its result tuple - an optional file system hash for the hash cache
849
to use. (Robert Collins)
851
* ``dirstate.DirState.update_entry`` will now only calculate the sha1
852
of a file if it is likely to be needed in determining the output
853
of iter_changes. (Robert Collins)
855
* The PackRepository, RepositoryPackCollection, NewPack classes have a
856
slightly changed interface to support different index types; as a
857
result other users of these classes need to supply the index types
858
they want. (Robert Collins)
862
* ``bzrlib.tests.repository_implementations`` has been renamed to
863
``bzrlib.tests.per_repository`` so that we have a common structure
864
(and it is shorter). (John Arbash Meinel, #239343)
866
* ``LocalTransport.abspath()`` now returns a drive letter if the
867
transport has one, fixing numerous tests on Windows.
870
* PreviewTree is now tested via intertree_implementations.
873
* The full test suite is passing again on OSX.
874
(Guillermo Gonzalez, Vincent Ladeuil)
876
* The full test suite passes when run with ``-Eallow_debug``.
881
* A new hook, ``Branch.open``, has been added, which is called when
882
branch objects are opened. (Robert Collins)
884
* ``bzrlib.osutils._walkdirs_utf8`` has been refactored into common
885
tree walking, and modular directory listing code to aid future
886
performance optimisations and refactoring. (Robert Collins)
888
* ``bzrlib.trace.debug_memory`` can be used to get a quick memory dump
889
in the middle of processing. It only reports memory if
890
``/proc/PID/status`` is available. (John Arbash Meinel)
892
* New method ``RevisionSpec.as_tree`` for representing the revision
893
specifier as a revision tree object. (Lukáš Lalinský)
895
* New race-free method on MutableTree ``get_file_with_stat`` for use
896
when generating stat cache results. (Robert Collins)
898
* New win32utils.get_local_appdata_location() provides access to a local
899
directory for storing data. (Mark Hammond)
901
* To be compatible with python-2.6 a few new rules should be
902
observed. 'message' attribute can't be used anymore in exception
903
classes, 'sha' and 'md5' modules have been deprecated (use
904
osutils.[md5|sha]), object__init__ and object.__new__ don't accept
912
No changes from 1.7.1rc1.
915
bzr 1.7.1rc1 2008-09-24
916
-----------------------
918
This release just includes an update to how the merge algorithm handles
919
file paths when we encounter complex history.
923
* If we encounter a criss-cross in history, use information from
924
direct Least Common Ancestors to resolve inventory shape (locations
925
of files, adds, deletes, etc). This is similar in concept to using
926
``--lca`` for merging file texts, only applied to paths.
933
This release includes many bug fixes and a few performance and feature
934
improvements. ``bzr rm`` will now scan for missing files and remove them,
935
like how ``bzr add`` scans for unknown files and adds them. A bit more
936
polish has been applied to the stacking code. The b-tree indexing code has
937
been brought in, with an eye on using it in a future repository format.
938
There are only minor installer changes since bzr-1.7rc2.
942
* Some small updates to the win32 installer. Include localization
943
files found in plugins, and include the builtin distutils as part of
944
packaging qbzr. (Mark Hammond)
947
bzr 1.7rc2 2008-09-17
948
---------------------
950
A few bug fixes from 1.7rc1. The biggest change is a new
951
``RemoteBranch.get_stacked_on_url`` rpc. This allows clients that are
952
trying to access a Stacked branch over the smart protocol, to properly
953
connect to the stacked-on location.
957
* Branching from a shared repository on a smart server into a new
958
repository now preserves the repository format.
959
(Andrew Bennetts, #269214)
961
* Branching from a stacked branch via ``bzr+ssh`` can properly connect
962
to the stacked-on branch. (Martin Pool, #261315)
964
* ``bzr init`` no longer re-opens the BzrDir multiple times.
967
* Fix '_in_buffer' AttributeError when using the -Dhpss debug flag.
971
bzr 1.7rc1 2008-09-09
972
---------------------
974
This release candidate for bzr 1.7 has several bug fixes and a few
975
performance and feature improvements. ``bzr rm`` will now scan for
976
missing files and remove them, like how ``bzr add`` scans for unknown
977
files and adds them. A bit more polish has been applied to the stacking
978
code. The b-tree indexing code has been brought in, with an eye on using
979
it in a future repository format.
984
* ``bzr export`` can now export a subdirectory of a project.
987
* ``bzr remove-tree`` will now refuse to remove a tree with uncommitted
988
changes, unless the ``--force`` option is specified.
989
(Lukáš Lalinský, #74101)
991
* ``bzr rm`` will now scan for files that are missing and remove just
992
them automatically, much as ``bzr add`` scans for new files that
993
are not ignored and adds them automatically. (Robert Collins)
997
* Support for GSSAPI authentication when using FTP as documented in
998
RFC2228. (Jelmer Vernooij, #49623)
1000
* Add support for IPv6 in the smart server. (Jelmer Vernooij, #165014)
1004
* A url like ``log+file:///tmp`` will log all access to that Transport
1005
to ``.bzr.log``, which may help in debugging or profiling.
1008
* ``bzr branch`` and ``bzr push`` use the default stacking policy if the
1009
branch format supports it. (Aaron Bentley)
1011
* ``bzr init`` and ``bzr init-repo`` will now print out the same as
1012
``bzr info`` if it completed successfully.
1015
* ``bzr uncommit`` logs the old tip revision id, and displays how to
1016
restore the branch to that tip using ``bzr pull``. This allows you
1017
to recover if you realize you uncommitted the wrong thing.
1018
(John Arbash Meinel)
1020
* Fix problems in accessing stacked repositories over ``bzr://``.
1021
(Martin Pool, #261315)
1023
* ``SFTPTransport.readv()`` was accidentally using ``list += string``,
1024
which 'works', but adds each character separately to the list,
1025
rather than using ``list.append(string)``. Fixing this makes the
1026
SFTP transport a little bit faster (~20%) and use a bit less memory.
1027
(John Arbash Meinel)
1029
* When reading index files, if we happen to read the whole file in a
1030
single request treat it as a ``_buffer_all`` request. This happens
1031
most often on small indexes over remote transports, where we default
1032
to reading 64kB. It saves a round trip for each small index during
1033
fetch operations. Also, if we have read more than 50% of an index
1034
file, trigger a ``_buffer_all`` on the next request. This works
1035
around some inefficiencies because reads don't fall neatly on page
1036
boundaries, so we would ignore those bytes, but request them again
1037
later. This could trigger a total read size of more than the whole
1038
file. (John Arbash Meinel)
1042
* ``bzr rm`` is now aliased to ``bzr del`` for the convenience of svn
1043
users. (Robert Collins, #205416)
1045
* Catch the infamous "select/poll returned error" which occurs when
1046
pycurl try to send a body request to an HTTP/1.0 server which has
1047
already refused to handle the request. (Vincent Ladeuil, #225020)
1049
* Fix ``ObjectNotLocked`` errors when using various commands
1050
(including ``bzr cat`` and ``bzr annotate``) in combination with a
1051
smart server URL. (Andrew Bennetts, #237067)
1053
* ``FTPTransport.stat()`` would return ``0000`` as the permission bits
1054
for the containing ``.bzr/`` directory (it does not implement
1055
permissions). This would cause us to set all subdirectories to
1056
``0700`` and files to ``0600`` rather than leaving them unmodified.
1057
Now we ignore ``0000`` as the permissions and assume they are
1058
invalid. (John Arbash Meinel, #259855)
1060
* Merging from a previously joined branch will no longer cause
1061
a traceback. (Jelmer Vernooij, #203376)
1063
* Pack operations on windows network shares will work even with large
1064
files. (Robert Collins, #255656)
1066
* Running ``bzr st PATH_TO_TREE`` will no longer suppress merge
1067
status. Status is also about 7% faster on mozilla sized trees
1068
when the path to the root of the tree has been given. Users of
1069
the internal ``show_tree_status`` function should be aware that
1070
the show_pending flag is now authoritative for showing pending
1071
merges, as it was originally. (Robert Collins, #225204)
1073
* Set valid default _param_name for Option so that ListOption can embed
1074
'-' in names. (Vincent Ladeuil, #263249)
1076
* Show proper error rather than traceback when an unknown revision
1077
id is specified to ``bzr cat-revision``. (Jelmer Vernooij, #175569)
1079
* Trailing text in the dirstate file could cause the C dirstate parser
1080
to try to allocate an invalid amount of memory. We now properly
1081
check and test for parsing a dirstate with invalid trailing data.
1082
(John Arbash Meinel, #186014)
1084
* Unexpected error responses from a smart server no longer cause the
1085
client to traceback. (Andrew Bennetts, #263527)
1087
* Use a Windows api function to get a Unicode host name, rather than
1088
assuming the host name is ascii.
1089
(Mark Hammond, John Arbash Meinel, #256550)
1091
* ``WorkingTree4`` trees will now correctly report missing-and-new
1092
paths in the output of ``iter_changes``. (Robert Collins)
1096
* Updated developer documentation. (Martin Pool)
1100
* Exporters now take 4 parameters. (Robert Collins)
1102
* ``Tree.iter_changes`` will now return False for the content change
1103
field when a file is missing in the basis tree and not present in
1104
the target tree. Previously it returned True unconditionally.
1107
* The deprecated ``Branch.abspath`` and unimplemented
1108
``Branch.rename_one`` and ``Branch.move`` were removed. (Jelmer Vernooij)
1110
* BzrDir.clone_on_transport implementations must now accept a stacked_on
1111
parameter. (Aaron Bentley)
1113
* BzrDir.cloning_metadir implementations must now take a require_stacking
1114
parameter. (Aaron Bentley)
1118
* ``addCleanup`` now takes ``*arguments`` and ``**keyword_arguments``
1119
which are then passed to the cleanup callable as it is run. In
1120
addition, addCleanup no longer requires that the callables passed to
1121
it be unique. (Jonathan Lange)
1123
* Fix some tests that fail on Windows because files are deleted while
1127
* ``selftest``'s ``--starting-with`` option can now use predefined
1128
prefixes so that one can say ``bzr selftest -s bp.loom`` instead of
1129
``bzr selftest -s bzrlib.plugins.loom``. (Vincent Ladeuil)
1131
* ``selftest``'s ``--starting-with`` option now accepts multiple values.
1136
* A new plugin interface, ``bzrlib.log.log_adapters``, has been added.
1137
This allows dynamic log output filtering by plugins.
1140
* ``bzrlib.btree_index`` is now available, providing a b-tree index
1141
layer. The design is memory conservative (limited memory cache),
1142
faster to seek (approx 100 nodes per page, gives 100-way fan out),
1143
and stores compressed pages allowing more keys per page.
1144
(Robert Collins, John Arbash Meinel)
1146
* ``bzrlib.diff.DiffTree.show_diff`` now skips changes where the kind
1147
is unknown in both source and target.
1148
(Robert Collins, Aaron Bentley)
1150
* ``GraphIndexBuilder.add_node`` and ``BTreeBuilder`` have been
1151
streamlined a bit. This should make creating large indexes faster.
1152
(In benchmarking, it now takes less time to create a BTree index than
1153
it takes to read the GraphIndex one.) (John Arbash Meinel)
1155
* Mail clients for `bzr send` are now listed in a registry. This
1156
allows plugins to add new clients by registering them with
1157
``bzrlib.mail_client.mail_client_registry``. All of the built-in
1158
clients now use this mechanism. (Neil Martinsen-Burrell)
1161
bzr 1.6.1 2008-09-05
1162
--------------------
1164
A couple regressions were found in the 1.6 release. There was a
1165
performance issue when using ``bzr+ssh`` to branch large repositories,
1166
and some problems with stacking and ``rich-root`` capable repositories.
1169
bzr 1.6.1rc2 2008-09-03
1170
-----------------------
1174
* Copying between ``rich-root`` and ``rich-root-pack`` (and vice
1175
versa) was accidentally using the inter-model fetcher, instead of
1176
recognizing that both were 'rich root' formats.
1177

bzr 1.6.1rc1 2008-08-29
1181
-----------------------
1183
This release fixes a few regressions found in the 1.6 client. Fetching
1184
changes was using an O(N^2) buffering algorithm, so for large projects it
1185
would cause memory thrashing. There is also a specific problem with the
1186
``--1.6-rich-root`` format, which prevented stacking on top of
1187
``--rich-root-pack`` repositories, and could allow users to accidentally
1188
fetch experimental data (``-subtree``) without representing it properly.
1189
The ``--1.6-rich-root`` format has been deprecated and users are
1190
recommended to upgrade to ``--1.6.1-rich-root`` immediately. Also we
1191
re-introduced a workaround for users who have repositories with incorrect
1192
nodes (not possible if you only used official releases).
1193
I should also clarify that none of this is data loss level issues, but
1194
still sufficient enough to warrant an updated release.
1198
* ``RemoteTransport.readv()`` was being inefficient about how it
1199
buffered the readv data and processed it. It would keep appending to
1200
the same string (causing many copies) and then pop bytes out of the
1201
start of the string (causing more copies).
1202
With this patch "bzr+ssh://local" can improve dramatically,
1203
especially for projects with large files.
1204
(John Arbash Meinel)
1206
* Revision texts were always meant to be stored as fulltexts. There
1207
was a bug in a bzr.dev version that would accidentally create deltas
1208
when copying from a Pack repo to a Knit repo. This has been fixed,
1209
but to support those repositories, we know always request full texts
1210
for Revision texts. (John Arbash Meinel, #261339)
1212
* The previous ``--1.6-rich-root`` format used an incorrect xml
1213
serializer, which would accidentally support fetching from a
1214
repository that supported subtrees, even though the local one would
1215
not. We deprecated that format, and introduced a new one that uses
1216
the correct serializer ``--1.6.1-rich-root``.
1217
(John Arbash Meinel, #262333)
1223
Finally, the long awaited bzr 1.6 has been released. This release includes
1224
new features like Stacked Branches, improved weave merge, and an updated
1225
server protocol (now on v3) which will allow for better cross version
1226
compatibility. With this release we have deprecated Knit format
1227
repositories, and recommend that users upgrade them, we will continue to
1228
support reading and writing them for the forseeable future, but we will
1229
not be tuning them for performance as pack repositories have proven to be
1230
better at scaling. This will also be the first release to bundle
1231
TortoiseBzr in the standalone Windows installer.
1234
bzr 1.6rc5 2008-08-19
1235
---------------------
1239
* Disable automatic detection of stacking based on a containing
1240
directory of the target. It interacted badly with push, and needs a
1241
bit more work to get the edges polished before it should happen
1242
automatically. (John Arbash Meinel, #259275)
1243
(This change was reverted when merged to bzr.dev)
1246
bzr 1.6rc4 2008-08-18
1247
---------------------
1251
* Fix a regression in knit => pack fetching. We had a logic
1252
inversion, causing the fetch to insert fulltexts in random order,
1253
rather than preserving deltas. (John Arbash Meinel, #256757)
1256
bzr 1.6rc3 2008-08-14
1257
---------------------
1261
* Disable reading ``.bzrrules`` as a per-branch rule preferences
1262
file. The feature was not quite ready for a full release.
1267
* Update the windows installer to bundle TortoiseBzr and ``qbzr``
1268
into the standalone installer. This will be the first official
1269
windows release that installs Tortoise by default.
1274
* Fix a regression in ``bzr+http`` support. There was a missing
1275
function (``_read_line``) that needed to be carried over from
1276
``bzr+ssh`` support. (Andrew Bennetts)
1278
* ``GraphIndex`` objects will internally read an entire index if more
1279
than 1/20th of their keyspace is requested in a single operation.
1280
This largely mitigates a performance regression in ``bzr log FILE``
1281
and completely corrects the performance regression in ``bzr log``.
1282
The regression was caused by removing an accomodation which had been
1283
supporting the index format in use. A newer index format is in
1284
development which is substantially faster. (Robert Collins)
1287
bzr 1.6rc2 2008-08-13
1288
---------------------
1290
This release candidate has a few minor bug fixes, and some regression
1295
* ``bzr upgrade`` on remote branches accessed via bzr:// and
1296
bzr+ssh:// now works. (Andrew Bennetts)
1298
* Change the ``get_format_description()`` strings for
1299
``RepositoryFormatKnitPack5`` et al to be single line messages.
1302
* Fix for a regression on Win32 where we would try to call
1303
``os.listdir()`` on a file and not catch the exception properly.
1304
(Windows raises a different exception.) This would manifest in
1305
places like ``bzr rm file`` or ``bzr switch``.
1306
(Mark Hammond, John Arbash Meinel)
1308
* ``Inventory.copy()`` was failing to set the revision property for
1309
the root entry. (Jelmer Vernooij)
1311
* sftp transport: added missing ``FileExists`` case to
1312
``_translate_io_exception`` (Christophe Troestler, #123475)
1314
* The help for ``bzr ignored`` now suggests ``bzr ls --ignored`` for
1315
scripting use. (Robert Collins, #3834)
1317
* The default ``annotate`` logic will now always assign the
1318
last-modified value of a line to one of the revisions that modified
1319
it, rather than a merge revision. This would happen when both sides
1320
claimed to have modified the line resulting in the same text. The
1321
choice is arbitrary but stable, so merges in different directions
1322
will get the same results. (John Arbash Meinel, #232188)
1325
bzr 1.6rc1 2008-08-06
1326
---------------------
1328
This release candidate for bzr 1.6 solidifies the new branch stacking
1329
feature. Bazaar now recommends that users upgrade all knit repositories,
1330
because later formats are much faster. However, we plan to continue read/write and
1331
upgrade support for knit repostories for the forseeable future. Several
1332
other bugs and performance issues were fixed.
1336
* Knit format repositories are deprecated and bzr will now emit
1337
warnings whenever it encounters one. Use ``bzr upgrade`` to upgrade
1338
knit repositories to pack format. (Andrew Bennetts)
1342
* ``bzr check`` can now be told which elements at a location it should
1343
check. (Daniel Watkins)
1345
* Commit now supports ``--exclude`` (or ``-x``) to exclude some files
1346
from the commit. (Robert Collins, #3117)
1348
* Fetching data between repositories that have the same model but no
1349
optimised fetcher will not reserialise all the revisions, increasing
1350
performance. (Robert Collins, John Arbash Meinel)
1352
* Give a more specific error when target branch is not reachable.
1355
* Implemented a custom ``walkdirs_utf8`` implementation for win32.
1356
This uses a pyrex extension to get direct access to the
1357
``FindFirstFileW`` style apis, rather than using ``listdir`` +
1358
``lstat``. Shows a very strong improvement in commands like
1359
``status`` and ``diff`` which have to iterate the working tree.
1360
Anywhere from 2x-6x faster depending on the size of the tree (bigger
1361
trees, bigger benefit.) (John Arbash Meinel)
1363
* New registry for log properties handles and the method in
1364
LongLogFormatter to display the custom properties returned by the
1365
registered handlers. (Guillermo Gonzalez, #162469)
1369
* Add more tests that stacking does not create deltas spanning
1370
physical repository boundaries.
1371
(Martin Pool, #252428)
1373
* Better message about incompatible repositories.
1374
(Martin Pool, #206258)
1376
* ``bzr branch --stacked`` ensures the destination branch format can
1377
support stacking, even if the origin does not.
1380
* ``bzr export`` no longer exports ``.bzrrules``.
1383
* ``bzr serve --directory=/`` now correctly allows the whole
1384
filesystem to be accessed on Windows, not just the root of the drive
1385
that Python is running from.
1386
(Adrian Wilkins, #240910)
1388
* Deleting directories by hand before running ``bzr rm`` will not
1389
cause subsequent errors in ``bzr st`` and ``bzr commit``.
1390
(Robert Collins, #150438)
1392
* Fix a test case that was failing if encoding wasn't UTF-8.
1393
(John Arbash Meinel, #247585)
1395
* Fix "no buffer space available" error when branching with the new
1396
smart server protocol to or from Windows.
1397
(Andrew Bennetts, #246180)
1399
* Fixed problem in branching from smart server.
1400
(#249256, Michael Hudson, Martin Pool)
1402
* Handle a file turning in to a directory in TreeTransform.
1403
(James Westby, #248448)
1407
* ``MutableTree.commit`` has an extra optional keywork parameter
1408
``exclude`` that will be unconditionally supplied by the command
1409
line UI - plugins that add tree formats may need an update.
1412
* The API minimum version for plugin compatibility has been raised to
1413
1.6 - there are significant changes throughout the code base.
1416
* The generic fetch code now uses three attributes on Repository objects
1417
to control fetch. The streams requested are controlled via :
1418
``_fetch_order`` and ``_fetch_uses_deltas``. Setting these
1419
appropriately allows different repository implementations to recieve
1420
data in their optimial form. If the ``_fetch_reconcile`` is set then
1421
a reconcile operation is triggered at the end of the fetch.
1424
* The ``put_on_disk`` and ``get_tar_item`` methods in
1425
``InventoryEntry`` were deprecated. (Ian Clatworthy)
1427
* ``Repository.is_shared`` doesn't take a read lock. It didn't
1428
need one in the first place (nobody cached the value, and
1429
``RemoteRepository`` wasn't taking one either). This saves a round
1430
trip when probing Pack repositories, as they read the ``pack-names``
1431
file when locked. And during probe, locking the repo isn't very
1432
useful. (John Arbash Meinel)
1436
* ``bzrlib.branchbuilder.BranchBuilder`` is now much more capable of
1437
putting together a real history without having to create a full
1438
WorkingTree. It is recommended that tests that are not directly
1439
testing the WorkingTree use BranchBuilder instead. See
1440
``BranchBuilder.build_snapshot`` or
1441
``TestCaseWithMemoryTree.make_branch_builder``. (John Arbash Meinel)
1443
* ``bzrlib.builtins.internal_tree_files`` broken into two giving a new
1444
helper ``safe_relpath_files`` - used by the new ``exclude``
1445
parameter to commit. (Robert Collins)
1447
* Make it easier to introduce new WorkingTree formats.
1450
* The code for exporting trees was refactored not to use the
1451
deprecated ``InventoryEntry`` methods. (Ian Clatworthy)
1453
* RuleSearchers return () instead of [] now when there are no matches.
1457
bzr 1.6beta3 2008-07-17
1458
-----------------------
1460
This release adds a new 'stacked branches' feature allowing branches to
1461
share storage without being in the same repository or on the same machine.
1462
(See the user guide for more details.) It also adds a new hook, improved
1463
weaves, aliases for related locations, faster bzr+ssh push, and several
1468
* New ``pre_change_branch_tip`` hook that is called before the
1469
branch tip is moved, while the branch is write-locked. See the User
1470
Reference for signature details. (Andrew Bennetts)
1472
* Rule-based preferences can now be defined for selected files in
1473
selected branches, allowing commands and plugins to provide
1474
custom behaviour for files matching defined patterns.
1475
See ``Rule-based preferences`` (part of ``Configuring Bazaar``)
1476
in the User Guide and ``bzr help rules`` for more information.
1479
* Sites may suggest a branch to stack new branches on. (Aaron Bentley)
1481
* Stacked branches are now supported. See ``bzr help branch`` and
1482
``bzr help push``. Branches must be in the ``development1`` format
1483
to stack, though the stacked-on branch can be of any format.
1488
* ``bzr export --format=tgz --root=NAME -`` to export a gzipped tarball
1489
to stdout; also ``tar`` and ``tbz2``.
1492
* ``bzr (re)merge --weave`` will now use a standard Weave algorithm,
1493
rather than the annotation-based merge it was using. It does so by
1494
building up a Weave of the important texts, without needing to build
1495
the full ancestry. (John Arbash Meinel, #238895)
1497
* ``bzr send`` documents and better supports ``emacsclient`` (proper
1498
escaping of mail headers and handling of the MUA Mew).
1499
(Christophe Troestler)
1501
* Remembered locations can be specified by aliases, e.g. :parent, :public,
1502
:submit. (Aaron Bentley)
1504
* The smart protocol now has improved support for setting branches'
1505
revision info directly. This makes operations like push
1506
faster. The new request method name is
1507
``Branch.set_last_revision_ex``. (Andrew Bennetts)
1511
* Bazaar is now able to be a client to the web server of IIS 6 and 7.
1512
The broken implementations of RFC822 in Python and RFC2046 in IIS
1513
combined with boundary-line checking in Bazaar previously made this
1514
impossible. (NB, IIS 5 does not suffer from this problem).
1515
(Adrian Wilkins, #247585)
1517
* ``bzr log --long`` with a ghost in your mainline now handles that
1518
ghost properly. (John Arbash Meinel, #243536)
1520
* ``check`` handles the split-up .bzr layout correctly, so no longer
1521
requires a branch to be present.
1522
(Daniel Watkins, #64783)
1524
* Clearer message about how to set the PYTHONPATH if bzrlib can't be
1526
(Martin Pool, #205230)
1528
* Errors about missing libraries are now shown without a traceback,
1529
and with a suggestion to install the library. The full traceback is
1530
still in ``.bzr.log`` and can be shown with ``-Derror``.
1531
(Martin Pool, #240161)
1533
* Fetch from a stacked branch copies all required data.
1534
(Aaron Bentley, #248506)
1536
* Handle urls such as ftp://user@host.com@www.host.com where the user
1538
(Neil Martinsen-Burrell, #228058)
1540
* ``needs_read_lock`` and ``needs_write_lock`` now suppress an error during
1541
``unlock`` if there was an error in the original function. This helps
1542
most when there is a failure with a smart server action, since often the
1543
connection closes and we cannot unlock.
1544
(Andrew Bennetts, John Arbash Meinel, #125784)
1546
* Obsolete hidden command ``bzr fetch`` removed.
1547
(Martin Pool, #172870)
1549
* Raise the correct exception when doing ``-rbefore:0`` or ``-c0``.
1550
(John Arbash Meinel, #239933)
1552
* You can now compare file revisions in Windows diff programs from
1554
(Matt McClure, #209281)
1556
* revision_history now tolerates mainline ghosts for Branch format 6.
1557
(Aaron Bentley, #235055)
1559
* Set locale from environment for third party libs.
1560
(Martin von Gagern, #128496)
1564
* Added *Using stacked branches* to the User Guide.
1567
* Updated developer documentation.
1572
* ``-Dmemory`` will cause /proc/PID/status to be catted before bzr
1573
exits, allowing low-key analysis of peak memory use. (Robert Collins)
1575
* ``TestCaseWithTransport.make_branch_and_tree`` tries harder to return
1576
a tree with a ``branch`` attribute of the right format. This was
1577
preventing some ``RemoteBranch`` tests from actually running with
1578
``RemoteBranch`` instances. (Andrew Bennetts)
1582
* Removed ``Repository.text_store``, ``control_store``, etc. Instead,
1583
there are new attributes ``texts, inventories, revisions,
1584
signatures``, each of which is a ``VersionedFiles``. See the
1585
Repository docstring for more details.
1588
* ``Branch.pull`` now accepts an ``_override_hook_target`` optional
1589
parameter. If you have a subclass of ``Branch`` that overrides
1590
``pull`` then you should add this parameter. (Andrew Bennetts)
1592
* ``bzrlib.check.check()`` has been deprecated in favour of the more
1593
aptly-named ``bzrlib.check.check_branch()``.
1596
* ``Tree.print_file`` and ``Repository.print_file`` are deprecated.
1597
These methods are bad APIs because they write directly to sys.stdout.
1598
bzrlib does not use them internally, and there are no direct tests
1599
for them. (Alexander Belchenko)
1603
* ``cat`` command no longer uses ``Tree.print_file()`` internally.
1604
(Alexander Belchenko)
1606
* New class method ``BzrDir.open_containing_tree_branch_or_repository``
1607
which eases the discovery of the tree, the branch and the repository
1608
containing a given location.
1611
* New ``versionedfile.KeyMapper`` interface to abstract out the access to
1612
underlying .knit/.kndx etc files in repositories with partitioned
1613
storage. (Robert Collins)
1615
* Obsolete developer-use command ``weave-join`` has been removed.
1618
* ``RemoteToOtherFetcher`` and ``get_data_stream_for_search`` removed,
1619
to support new ``VersionedFiles`` layering.
1623
bzr 1.6beta2 2008-06-10
1624
-----------------------
1626
This release contains further progress towards our 1.6 goals of shallow
1627
repositories, and contains a fix for some user-affecting bugs in the
1628
repository layer. Building working trees during checkout and branch is
1633
* Avoid KnitCorrupt error extracting inventories from some repositories.
1634
(The data is not corrupt; an internal check is detecting a problem
1635
reading from the repository.)
1636
(Martin Pool, Andrew Bennetts, Robert Collins, #234748)
1638
* ``bzr status`` was breaking if you merged the same revision twice.
1639
(John Arbash Meinel, #235407)
1641
* Fix infinite loop consuming 100% CPU when a connection is lost while
1642
reading a response body via the smart protocol v1 or v2.
1645
* Inserting a bundle which changes the contents of a file with no trailing
1646
end of line, causing a knit snapshot in a 'knits' repository will no longer
1647
cause KnitCorrupt. (Robert Collins)
1649
* ``RemoteBranch.pull`` needs to return the ``self._real_branch``'s
1650
pull result. It was instead just returning None, which breaks ``bzr
1651
pull``. (John Arbash Meinel, #238149)
1653
* Sanitize branch nick before using it as an attachment filename in
1654
``bzr send``. (Lukáš Lalinský, #210218)
1656
* Squash ``inv_entry.symlink_target`` to a plain string when
1657
generating DirState details. This prevents from getting a
1658
``UnicodeError`` when you have symlinks and non-ascii filenames.
1659
(John Arbash Meinel, #135320)
1663
* Added the 'alias' command to set/unset and display aliases. (Tim Penhey)
1665
* ``added``, ``modified``, and ``unknowns`` behaviour made consistent (all three
1666
now quote paths where required). Added ``--null`` option to ``added`` and
1667
``modified`` (for null-separated unknowns, use ``ls --unknown --null``)
1670
* Faster branching (1.09x) and lightweight checkouts (1.06x) on large trees.
1671
(Ian Clatworthy, Aaron Bentley)
1675
* Added *Bazaar Zen* section to the User Guide. (Ian Clatworthy)
1679
* Fix the test HTTPServer to be isolated from chdir calls made while it is
1680
running, allowing it to be used in blackbox tests. (Robert Collins)
1684
* ``WorkingTree.set_parent_(ids/trees)`` will now filter out revisions
1685
which are in the ancestry of other revisions. So if you merge the same
1686
tree twice, or merge an ancestor of an existing merge, it will only
1687
record the newest. (If you merge a descendent, it will replace its
1688
ancestor). (John Arbash Meinel, #235407)
1690
* ``RepositoryPolicy.__init__`` now requires stack_on and stack_on_pwd,
1691
through the derived classes do not. (Aaron Bentley)
1695
* ``bzrlib.bzrdir.BzrDir.sprout`` now accepts ``stacked`` to control
1696
creating stacked branches. (Robert Collins)
1698
* Knit record serialisation is now stricter on what it will accept, to
1699
guard against potential internal bugs, or broken input. (Robert Collins)
1702
bzr 1.6beta1 2008-06-02
1703
-----------------------
1706
Commands that work on the revision history such as push, pull, missing,
1707
uncommit and log are now substantially faster. This release adds a
1708
translation of some of the user documentation into Spanish. (Contributions of
1709
other translations would be very welcome.) Bazaar 1.6beta1 adds a new network
1710
protocol which is used by default and which allows for more efficient transfers
1711
and future extensions.
1714
NOTES WHEN UPGRADING:
1716
* There is a new version of the network protocol used for bzr://, bzr+ssh://
1717
and bzr+http:// connections. This will allow more efficient requests and
1718
responses, and more graceful fallback when a server is too old to
1719
recognise a request from a more recent client. Bazaar 1.6 will
1720
interoperate with 0.16 and later versions, but servers should be upgraded
1721
when possible. Bazaar 1.6 no longer interoperates with 0.15 and earlier via
1722
these protocols. Use alternatives like SFTP or upgrade those servers.
1723
(Andrew Bennetts, #83935)
1727
* Deprecation warnings will not be suppressed when running ``bzr selftest``
1728
so that developers can see if their code is using deprecated functions.
1729
(John Arbash Meinel)
1733
* Adding ``-Derror`` will now display a traceback when a plugin fails to
1734
load. (James Westby)
1738
* ``bzr branch/push/pull -r XXX`` now have a helper function for finding
1739
the revno of the new revision (``Graph.find_distance_to_null``). This
1740
should make something like ``bzr branch -r -100`` in a shared, no-trees
1741
repository much snappier. (John Arbash Meinel)
1743
* ``bzr log --short -r X..Y`` no longer needs to access the full revision
1744
history. This makes it noticeably faster when logging the last few
1745
revisions. (John Arbash Meinel)
1747
* ``bzr ls`` now accepts ``-V`` as an alias for ``--versioned``.
1748
(Jerad Cramp, #165086)
1750
* ``bzr missing`` uses the new ``Graph.find_unique_ancestors`` and
1751
``Graph.find_differences`` to determine missing revisions without having
1752
to search the whole ancestry. (John Arbash Meinel, #174625)
1754
* ``bzr uncommit`` now uses partial history access, rather than always
1755
extracting the full revision history for a branch. This makes it
1756
resolve the appropriate revisions much faster (in testing it drops
1757
uncommit from 1.5s => 0.4s). It also means ``bzr log --short`` is one
1758
step closer to not using full revision history.
1759
(John Arbash Meinel, #172649)
1763
* ``bzr merge --lca`` should handle when two revisions have no common
1764
ancestor other than NULL_REVISION. (John Arbash Meinel, #235715)
1766
* ``bzr status`` was breaking if you merged the same revision twice.
1767
(John Arbash Meinel, #235407)
1769
* ``bzr push`` with both ``--overwrite`` and ``-r NNN`` options no longer
1770
fails. (Andrew Bennetts, #234229)
1772
* Correctly track the base URL of a smart medium when using bzr+http://
1773
URLs, which was causing spurious "No repository present" errors with
1774
branches in shared repositories accessed over bzr+http.
1775
(Andrew Bennetts, #230550)
1777
* Define ``_remote_is_at_least_1_2`` on ``SmartClientMedium`` so that all
1778
implementations have the attribute. Fixes 'PyCurlTransport' object has no
1779
attribute '_remote_is_at_least_1_2' attribute errors.
1780
(Andrew Bennetts, #220806)
1782
* Failure to delete an obsolete pack file should just give a warning
1783
message, not a fatal error. It may for example fail if the file is still
1784
in use by another process.
1787
* Fix MemoryError during large fetches over HTTP by limiting the amount of
1788
data we try to read per ``recv`` call. The problem was observed with
1789
Windows and a proxy, but might affect other environments as well.
1790
(Eric Holmberg, #215426)
1792
* Handle old merge directives correctly in Merger.from_mergeable. Stricter
1793
get_parent_map requirements exposed a latent bug here. (Aaron Bentley)
1795
* Issue a warning and ignore passwords declared in authentication.conf when
1796
used for an ssh scheme (sftp or bzr+ssh).
1797
(Vincent Ladeuil, #203186)
1799
* Make both http implementations raise appropriate exceptions on 403
1800
Forbidden when POSTing smart requests.
1801
(Vincent Ladeuil, #230223)
1803
* Properly *title* header names in http requests instead of capitalizing
1805
(Vincent Ladeuil, #229076)
1807
* The "Unable to obtain lock" error message now also suggests using
1808
``bzr break-lock`` to fix it. (Martin Albisetti, #139202)
1810
* Treat an encoding of '' as ascii; this can happen when bzr is run
1811
under vim on Mac OS X.
1812
(Neil Martinsen-Burrell)
1814
* ``VersionedFile.make_mpdiffs()`` was raising an exception that wasn't in
1815
scope. (Daniel Fischer #235687)
1819
* Added directory structure and started translation of docs in spanish.
1820
(Martin Albisetti, Lucio Albenga)
1822
* Incorporate feedback from Jelmer Vernooij and Neil Martinsen-Burrell
1823
on the plugin and integration chapters of the User Guide.
1826
* More Bazaar developer documentation about packaging and release process,
1827
and about use of Python reprs.
1828
(Martin Pool, Martin Albisetti)
1830
* Updated Tortise strategy document. (Mark Hammond)
1834
* ``bzrlib.tests.adapt_tests`` was broken and unused - it has been fixed.
1837
* Fix the test HTTPServer to be isolated from chdir calls made while it is
1838
running, allowing it to be used in blackbox tests. (Robert Collins)
1840
* New helper function for splitting test suites
1841
``split_suite_by_condition``. (Robert Collins)
1845
* ``Branch.missing_revisions`` has been deprecated. Similar functionality
1846
can be obtained using ``bzrlib.missing.find_unmerged``. The api was
1847
fairly broken, and the function was unused, so we are getting rid of it.
1848
(John Arbash Meinel)
1852
* ``Branch.abspath`` is deprecated; use the Tree or Transport
1853
instead. (Martin Pool)
1855
* ``Branch.update_revisions`` now takes an optional ``Graph``
1856
object. This can be used by ``update_revisions`` when it is
1857
checking ancestry, and allows callers to prefer request to go to a
1858
local branch. (John Arbash Meinel)
1860
* Branch, Repository, Tree and BzrDir should expose a Transport as an
1861
attribute if they have one, rather than having it indirectly accessible
1862
as ``.control_files._transport``. This doesn't add a requirement
1863
to support a Transport in cases where it was not needed before;
1864
it just simplifies the way it is reached. (Martin Pool)
1866
* ``bzr missing --mine-only`` will return status code 0 if you have no
1867
new revisions, but the remote does. Similarly for ``--theirs-only``.
1868
The new code only checks one side, so it doesn't know if the other
1869
side has changes. This seems more accurate with the request anyway.
1870
It also changes the output to print '[This|Other] branch is up to
1871
date.' rather than displaying nothing. (John Arbash Meinel)
1873
* ``LockableFiles.put_utf8``, ``put_bytes`` and ``controlfilename``
1874
are now deprecated in favor of using Transport operations.
1877
* Many methods on ``VersionedFile``, ``Repository`` and in
1878
``bzrlib.revision`` deprecated before bzrlib 1.5 have been removed.
1881
* ``RevisionSpec.wants_revision_history`` can be set to False for a given
1882
``RevisionSpec``. This will disable the existing behavior of passing in
1883
the full revision history to ``self._match_on``. Useful for specs that
1884
don't actually need access to the full history. (John Arbash Meinel)
1886
* The constructors of ``SmartClientMedium`` and its subclasses now require a
1887
``base`` parameter. ``SmartClientMedium`` implementations now also need
1888
to provide a ``remote_path_from_transport`` method. (Andrew Bennetts)
1890
* The default permissions for creating new files and directories
1891
should now be obtained from ``BzrDir._get_file_mode()`` and
1892
``_get_dir_mode()``, rather than from LockableFiles. The ``_set_file_mode``
1893
and ``_set_dir_mode`` variables on LockableFiles which were advertised
1894
as a way for plugins to control this are no longer consulted.
1897
* ``VersionedFile.join`` is deprecated. This method required local
1898
instances of both versioned file objects and was thus hostile to being
1899
used for streaming from a smart server. The new get_record_stream and
1900
insert_record_stream are meant to efficiently replace this method.
1903
* ``WorkingTree.set_parent_(ids/trees)`` will now filter out revisions
1904
which are in the ancestry of other revisions. So if you merge the same
1905
tree twice, or merge an ancestor of an existing merge, it will only
1906
record the newest. (If you merge a descendent, it will replace its
1907
ancestor). (John Arbash Meinel, #235407)
1909
* ``WorkingTreeFormat2.stub_initialize_remote`` is now private.
1916
This release of Bazaar includes several updates to the documentation, and fixes
1917
to prepare for making rich root support the default format. Many bugs have been
1918
squashed, including fixes to log, bzr+ssh inter-operation with older servers.
1922
* Suppress deprecation warnings when bzrlib is a 'final' release. This way
1923
users of packaged software won't be bothered with DeprecationWarnings,
1924
but developers and testers will still see them. (John Arbash Meinel)
1928
* Incorporate feedback from Jelmer Vernooij and Neil Martinsen-Burrell
1929
on the plugin and integration chapters of the User Guide.
1933
bzr 1.5rc1 2008-05-09
1934
---------------------
1936
NOTES WHEN UPGRADING:
1940
* Broader support of GNU Emacs mail clients. Set
1941
``mail_client=emacsclient`` in your bazaar.conf and ``send`` will pop the
1942
bundle in a mail buffer according to the value of ``mail-user-agent``
1943
variable. (Xavier Maillard)
1949
* Diff now handles revision specs like "branch:" and "submit:" more
1950
efficiently. (Aaron Bentley, #202928)
1952
* More friendly error given when attempt to start the smart server
1953
on an address already in use. (Andrea Corbellini, #200575)
1955
* Pull completes much faster when there is nothing to pull.
1960
* Authentication.conf can define sections without password.
1961
(Vincent Ladeuil, #199440)
1963
* Avoid muttering every time a child update does not cause a progress bar
1964
update. (John Arbash Meinel, #213771)
1966
* ``Branch.reconcile()`` is now implemented. This allows ``bzr reconcile``
1967
to fix when a Branch has a non-canonical mainline history. ``bzr check``
1968
also detects this condition. (John Arbash Meinel, #177855)
1970
* ``bzr log -r ..X bzr://`` was failing, because it was getting a request
1971
for ``revision_id=None`` which was not a string.
1972
(John Arbash Meinel, #211661)
1974
* ``bzr commit`` now works with Microsoft's FTP service.
1977
* Catch definitions outside sections in authentication.conf.
1978
(Vincent Ladeuil, #217650)
1980
* Conversion from non-rich-root to rich-root(-pack) updates inventory
1981
sha1s, even when bundles are used. (Aaron Bentley, #181391)
1983
* Conversion from non-rich-root to rich-root(-pack) works correctly even
1984
though search keys are not topologically sorted. (Aaron Bentley)
1986
* Conversion from non-rich-root to rich-root(-pack) works even when a
1987
parent revision has a different root id. (Aaron Bentley, #177874)
1989
* Disable strace testing until strace is fixed (see bug #103133) and emit a
1990
warning when selftest ends to remind us of leaking tests.
1991
(Vincent Ladeuil, #226769)
1993
* Fetching all revisions from a repository does not cause pack collisions.
1994
(Robert Collins, Aaron Bentley, #212908)
1996
* Fix error about "attempt to add line-delta in non-delta knit".
1997
(Andrew Bennetts, #217701)
1999
* Pushing a branch in "dirstate" format (Branch5) over bzr+ssh would break
2000
if the remote server was < version 1.2. This was due to a bug in the
2001
RemoteRepository.get_parent_map() fallback code.
2002
(John Arbash Meinel, #214894)
2004
* Remove leftover code in ``bzr_branch`` that inappropriately creates
2005
a ``branch-name`` file in the branch control directory.
2008
* Set SO_REUSEADDR on server sockets of ``bzr serve`` to avoid problems
2009
rebinding the socket when starting the server a second time.
2010
(John Arbash Meinel, Martin Pool, #164288)
2012
* Severe performance degradation in fetching from knit repositories to
2013
knits and packs due to parsing the entire revisions.kndx on every graph
2014
walk iteration fixed by using the Repository.get_graph API. There was
2015
another regression in knit => knit fetching which re-read the index for
2016
every revision each side had in common.
2017
(Robert Collins, John Arbash Meinel)
2019
* When logging the changes to a particular file, there was a bug if there
2020
were ghosts in the revision ancestry. (John Arbash Meinel, #209948)
2022
* xs4all's ftp server returns a temporary error when trying to list an
2023
empty directory, rather than returning an empty list. Adding a
2024
workaround so that we don't get spurious failures.
2025
(John Arbash Meinel, #215522)
2029
* Expanded the User Guide to include new chapters on popular plugins and
2030
integrating Bazaar into your environment. The *Best practices* chapter
2031
was renamed to *Miscellaneous topics* as suggested by community
2032
feedback as well. (Ian Clatworthy)
2034
* Document outlining strategies for TortoiseBzr. (Mark Hammond)
2036
* Improved the documentation on hooks. (Ian Clatworthy)
2038
* Update authentication docs regarding ssh agents.
2039
(Vincent Ladeuil, #183705)
2043
* Add ``thread_name_suffix`` parameter to SmartTCPServer_for_testing, to
2044
make it easy to identify which test spawned a thread with an unhandled
2045
exception. (Andrew Bennetts)
2047
* New ``--debugflag``/``-E`` option to ``bzr selftest`` for setting
2048
options for debugging tests, these are complementary to the the -D
2049
options. The ``-Dselftest_debug`` global option has been replaced by the
2050
``-E=allow_debug`` option for selftest. (Andrew Bennetts)
2052
* Parameterised test ids are preserved correctly to aid diagnosis of test
2053
failures. (Robert Collins, Andrew Bennetts)
2055
* selftest now accepts --starting-with <id> to load only the tests whose id
2056
starts with the one specified. This greatly speeds up running the test
2057
suite on a limited set of tests and can be used to run the tests for a
2058
single module, a single class or even a single test. (Vincent Ladeuil)
2060
* The test suite modules have been modified to define load_tests() instead
2061
of test_suite(). That speeds up selective loading (via --load-list)
2062
significantly and provides many examples on how to migrate (grep for
2063
load_tests). (Vincent Ladeuil)
2067
* ``Hooks.install_hook`` is now deprecated in favour of
2068
``Hooks.install_named_hook`` which adds a required ``name`` parameter, to
2069
avoid having to call ``Hooks.name_hook``. (Daniel Watkins)
2071
* Implement xml8 serializer. (Aaron Bentley)
2073
* New form ``@deprecated_method(deprecated_in(1, 5, 0))`` for making
2074
deprecation wrappers. (Martin Pool)
2076
* ``Repository.revision_parents`` is now deprecated in favour of
2077
``Repository.get_parent_map([revid])[revid]``. (Jelmer Vernooij)
2079
* The Python ``assert`` statement is no longer used in Bazaar source, and
2080
a test checks this. (Martin Pool)
2084
* ``bzrlib.status.show_pending_merges`` requires the repository to be
2085
locked by the caller. Callers should have been doing it anyway, but it
2086
will now raise an exception if they do not. (John Arbash Meinel)
2088
* Repository.get_data_stream, Repository.get_data_stream_for_search(),
2089
Repository.get_deltas_for_revsions(), Repository.revision_trees(),
2090
Repository.item_keys_introduced_by() no longer take read locks.
2093
* ``LockableFiles.get_utf8`` and ``.get`` are deprecated, as a start
2094
towards removing LockableFiles and ``.control_files`` entirely.
2097
* Methods deprecated prior to 1.1 have been removed.
2104
This release of Bazaar includes handy improvements to the speed of log and
2105
status, new options for several commands, improved documentation, and better
2106
hooks, including initial code for server-side hooks. A number of bugs have
2107
been fixed, particularly in interoperability between different formats or
2108
different releases of Bazaar over there network. There's been substantial
2109
internal work in both the repository and network code to enable new features
2110
and faster performance.
2114
* Pushing a branch in "dirstate" format (Branch5) over bzr+ssh would break
2115
if the remote server was < version 1.2. This was due to a bug in the
2116
RemoteRepository.get_parent_map() fallback code.
2117
(John Arbash Meinel, Andrew Bennetts, #214894)
2120
bzr 1.4rc2 2008-04-21
2121
---------------------
2125
* ``bzr log -r ..X bzr://`` was failing, because it was getting a request
2126
for ``revision_id=None`` which was not a string.
2127
(John Arbash Meinel, #211661)
2129
* Fixed a bug in handling ghost revisions when logging changes in a
2130
particular file. (John Arbash Meinel, #209948)
2132
* Fix error about "attempt to add line-delta in non-delta knit".
2133
(Andrew Bennetts, #205156)
2135
* Fixed performance degradation in fetching from knit repositories to
2136
knits and packs due to parsing the entire revisions.kndx on every graph
2137
walk iteration fixed by using the Repository.get_graph API. There was
2138
another regression in knit => knit fetching which re-read the index for
2139
every revision each side had in common.
2140
(Robert Collins, John Arbash Meinel)
2143
bzr 1.4rc1 2008-04-11
2144
---------------------
2148
* bzr main script cannot be imported (Benjamin Peterson)
2150
* On Linux bzr additionally looks for plugins in arch-independent site
2151
directory. (Toshio Kuratomi)
2153
* The ``set_rh`` branch hook is now deprecated. Please migrate
2154
any plugins using this hook to use an alternative, e.g.
2155
``post_change_branch_tip``. (Ian Clatworthy)
2157
* When a plugin cannot be loaded as the file path is not a valid
2158
python module name bzr will now strip a ``bzr_`` prefix from the
2159
front of the suggested name, as many plugins (e.g. bzr-svn)
2160
want to be installed without this prefix. It is a common mistake
2161
to have a folder named "bzr-svn" for that plugin, especially
2162
as this is what bzr branch lp:bzr-svn will give you. (James Westby,
2165
* UniqueIntegerBugTracker now appends bug-ids instead of joining
2166
them to the base URL. Plugins that register bug trackers may
2167
need a trailing / added to the base URL if one is not already there.
2168
(James Wesby, Andrew Cowie)
2172
* Added start_commit hook for mutable trees. (Jelmer Vernooij, #186422)
2174
* ``status`` now accepts ``--no-pending`` to show the status without
2175
listing pending merges, which speeds up the command a lot on large
2176
histories. (James Westby, #202830)
2178
* New ``post_change_branch_tip`` hook that is called after the
2179
branch tip is moved but while the branch is still write-locked.
2180
See the User Reference for signature details.
2181
(Ian Clatworthy, James Henstridge)
2183
* Reconfigure can convert a branch to be standalone or to use a shared
2184
repository. (Aaron Bentley)
2188
* The smart protocol now has support for setting branches' revision info
2189
directly. This should make operations like push slightly faster, and is a
2190
step towards server-side hooks. The new request method name is
2191
``Branch.set_last_revision_info``. (Andrew Bennetts)
2193
* ``bzr commit --fixes`` now recognises "gnome" as a tag by default.
2194
(James Westby, Andrew Cowie)
2196
* ``bzr switch`` will attempt to find branches to switch to relative to the
2197
current branch. E.g. ``bzr switch branchname`` will look for
2198
``current_branch/../branchname``. (Robert Collins, Jelmer Vernooij,
2201
* Diff is now more specific about execute-bit changes it describes
2204
* Fetching data over HTTP is a bit faster when urllib is used. This is done
2205
by forcing it to recv 64k at a time when reading lines in HTTP headers,
2206
rather than just 1 byte at a time. (Andrew Bennetts)
2208
* Log --short and --line are much faster when -r is not specified.
2211
* Merge is faster. We no longer check a file's existence unnecessarily
2212
when merging the execute bit. (Aaron Bentley)
2214
* ``bzr status`` on an explicit list of files no longer shows pending
2215
merges, making it much faster on large trees. (John Arbash Meinel)
2217
* The launchpad directory service now warns the user if they have not set
2218
their launchpad login and are trying to resolve a URL using it, just
2219
in case they want to do a write operation with it. (James Westby)
2221
* The smart protocol client is slightly faster, because it now only queries
2222
the server for the protocol version once per connection. Also, the HTTP
2223
transport will now automatically probe for and use a smart server if
2224
one is present. You can use the new ``nosmart+`` transport decorator
2225
to get the old behaviour. (Andrew Bennetts)
2227
* The ``version`` command takes a ``--short`` option to print just the
2228
version number, for easier use in scripts. (Martin Pool)
2230
* Various operations with revision specs and commands that calculate
2231
revnos and revision ids are faster. (John A. Meinel, Aaron Bentley)
2235
* Add ``root_client_path`` parameter to SmartWSGIApp and
2236
SmartServerRequest. This makes it possible to publish filesystem
2237
locations that don't exactly match URL paths. SmartServerRequest
2238
subclasses should use the new ``translate_client_path`` and
2239
``transport_from_client_path`` methods when dealing with paths received
2240
from a client to take this into account. (Andrew Bennetts, #124089)
2242
* ``bzr mv a b`` can be now used also to rename previously renamed
2243
directories, not only files. (Lukáš Lalinský, #107967)
2245
* ``bzr uncommit --local`` can now remove revisions from the local
2246
branch to be symmetric with ``bzr commit --local``.
2247
(John Arbash Meinel, #93412)
2249
* Don't ask for a password if there is no real terminal.
2250
(Alexander Belchenko, #69851)
2252
* Fix a bug causing a ValueError crash in ``parse_line_delta_iter`` when
2253
fetching revisions from a knit to pack repository or vice versa using
2254
bzr:// (including over http or ssh).
2255
(#208418, Andrew Bennetts, Martin Pool, Robert Collins)
2257
* Fixed ``_get_line`` in ``bzrlib.smart.medium``, which was buggy. Also
2258
fixed ``_get_bytes`` in the same module to use the push back buffer.
2259
These bugs had no known impact in normal use, but were problematic for
2260
developers working on the code, and were likely to cause real bugs sooner
2261
or later. (Andrew Bennetts)
2263
* Implement handling of basename parameter for DefaultMail. (James Westby)
2265
* Incompatibility with Paramiko versions newer than 1.7.2 was fixed.
2266
(Andrew Bennetts, #213425)
2268
* Launchpad locations (lp: URLs) can be pulled. (Aaron Bentley, #181945)
2270
* Merges that add files to deleted root directories complete. They
2271
do create conflicts. (Aaron Bentley, #210092)
2273
* vsftp's return ``550 RNFR command failed.`` supported.
2274
(Marcus Trautwig, #129786)
2278
* Improved documentation on send/merge relationship. (Peter Schuller)
2280
* Minor fixes to the User Guide. (Matthew Fuller)
2282
* Reduced the evangelism in the User Guide. (Ian Clatworthy)
2284
* Added Integrating with Bazaar document for developers (Martin Albisetti)
2288
* Attempting to pull data from a ghost aware repository (e.g. knits) into a
2289
non-ghost aware repository such as weaves will now fail if there are
2290
ghosts. (Robert Collins)
2292
* ``KnitVersionedFile`` no longer accepts an ``access_mode`` parameter, and
2293
now requires the ``index`` and ``access_method`` parameters to be
2294
supplied. A compatible shim has been kept in the new function
2295
``knit.make_file_knit``. (Robert Collins)
2297
* Log formatters must now provide log_revision instead of show and
2298
show_merge_revno methods. The latter had been deprecated since the 0.17
2299
release. (James Westby)
2301
* ``LoopbackSFTP`` is now called ``SocketAsChannelAdapter``.
2304
* ``osutils.backup_file`` is removed. (Alexander Belchenko)
2306
* ``Repository.get_revision_graph`` is deprecated, with no replacement
2307
method. The method was size(history) and not desirable. (Robert Collins)
2309
* ``revision.revision_graph`` is deprecated, with no replacement function.
2310
The function was size(history) and not desirable. (Robert Collins)
2312
* ``Transport.get_shared_medium`` is deprecated. Use
2313
``Transport.get_smart_medium`` instead. (Andrew Bennetts)
2315
* ``VersionedFile`` factories now accept a get_scope parameter rather
2316
than using a call to ``transaction_finished``, allowing the removal of
2317
the fixed list of versioned files per repository. (Robert Collins)
2319
* ``VersionedFile.annotate_iter`` is deprecated. While in principle this
2320
allowed lower memory use, all users of annotations wanted full file
2321
annotations, and there is no storage format suitable for incremental
2322
line-by-line annotation. (Robert Collins)
2324
* ``VersionedFile.clone_text`` is deprecated. This performance optimisation
2325
is no longer used - reading the content of a file that is undergoing a
2326
file level merge to identical state on two branches is rare enough, and
2327
not expensive enough to special case. (Robert Collins)
2329
* ``VersionedFile.clear_cache`` and ``enable_cache`` are deprecated.
2330
These methods added significant complexity to the ``VersionedFile``
2331
implementation, but were only used for optimising fetches from knits -
2332
which can be done from outside the knit layer, or via a caching
2333
decorator. As knits are not the default format, the complexity is no
2334
longer worth paying. (Robert Collins)
2336
* ``VersionedFile.create_empty`` is removed. This method presupposed a
2337
sensible mapping to a transport for individual files, but pack backed
2338
versioned files have no such mapping. (Robert Collins)
2340
* ``VersionedFile.get_graph`` is deprecated, with no replacement method.
2341
The method was size(history) and not desirable. (Robert Collins)
2343
* ``VersionedFile.get_graph_with_ghosts`` is deprecated, with no
2344
replacement method. The method was size(history) and not desirable.
2347
* ``VersionedFile.get_parents`` is deprecated, please use
2348
``VersionedFile.get_parent_map``. (Robert Collins)
2350
* ``VersionedFile.get_sha1`` is deprecated, please use
2351
``VersionedFile.get_sha1s``. (Robert Collins)
2353
* ``VersionedFile.has_ghost`` is now deprecated, as it is both expensive
2354
and unused outside of a single test. (Robert Collins)
2356
* ``VersionedFile.iter_parents`` is now deprecated in favour of
2357
``get_parent_map`` which can be used to instantiate a Graph on a
2358
VersionedFile. (Robert Collins)
2360
* ``VersionedFileStore`` no longer uses the transaction parameter given
2361
to most methods; amongst other things this means that the
2362
get_weave_or_empty method no longer guarantees errors on a missing weave
2363
in a readonly transaction, and no longer caches versioned file instances
2364
which reduces memory pressure (but requires more careful management by
2365
callers to preserve performance). (Robert Collins)
2369
* New -Dselftest_debug flag disables clearing of the debug flags during
2370
tests. This is useful if you want to use e.g. -Dhpss to help debug a
2371
failing test. Be aware that using this feature is likely to cause
2372
spurious test failures if used with the full suite. (Andrew Bennetts)
2374
* selftest --load-list now uses a new more agressive test loader that will
2375
avoid loading unneeded modules and building their tests. Plugins can use
2376
this new loader by defining a load_tests function instead of a test_suite
2377
function. (a forthcoming patch will provide many examples on how to
2381
* selftest --load-list now does some sanity checks regarding duplicate test
2382
IDs and tests present in the list but not found in the actual test suite.
2385
* Slightly more concise format for the selftest progress bar, so there's
2386
more space to show the test name. (Martin Pool) ::
2388
[2500/10884, 1fail, 3miss in 1m29s] test_revisionnamespaces.TestRev
2390
* The test suite takes much less memory to run, and is a bit faster. This
2391
is done by clearing most attributes of TestCases after running them, if
2392
they succeeded. (Andrew Bennetts)
2396
* Added ``_build_client_protocol`` to ``_SmartClient``. (Andrew Bennetts)
2398
* Added basic infrastructure for automatic plugin suggestion.
2401
* If a ``LockableFiles`` object is not explicitly unlocked (for example
2402
because of a missing ``try/finally`` block, it will give a warning but
2403
not automatically unlock itself. (Previously they did.) This
2404
sometimes caused knock-on errors if for example the network connection
2405
had already failed, and should not be relied upon by code.
2406
(Martin Pool, #109520)
2408
* ``make dist`` target to build a release tarball, and also
2409
``check-dist-tarball`` and ``dist-upload-escudero``. (Martin Pool)
2411
* The ``read_response_tuple`` method of ``SmartClientRequestProtocol*``
2412
classes will now raise ``UnknownSmartMethod`` when appropriate, so that
2413
callers don't need to try distinguish unknown request errors from other
2414
errors. (Andrew Bennetts)
2416
* ``set_make_working_trees`` is now implemented provided on all repository
2417
implementations (Aaron Bentley)
2419
* ``VersionedFile`` now has a new method ``get_parent_map`` which, like
2420
``Graph.get_parent_map`` returns a dict of key:parents. (Robert Collins)
2423
bzr 1.3.1 2008-04-09
2424
--------------------
2426
No changes from 1.3.1rc1.
2429
bzr 1.3rc1 2008-04-04
2430
---------------------
2434
* Fix a bug causing a ValueError crash in ``parse_line_delta_iter`` when
2435
fetching revisions from a knit to pack repository or vice versa using
2436
bzr:// (including over http or ssh).
2437
(#208418, Andrew Bennetts, Martin Pool, Robert Collins)
2443
Bazaar has become part of the GNU project <http://www.gnu.org>
2445
Many operations that act on history, including ``log`` and ``annotate`` are now
2446
substantially faster. Several bugs have been fixed and several new options and
2447
features have been added.
2451
* Avoid spurious failure of ``TestVersion.test_version`` matching
2453
(#202778, Martin Pool)
2456
bzr 1.3rc1 2008-03-16
2457
---------------------
2459
NOTES WHEN UPGRADING:
2461
* The backup directory created by ``upgrade`` is now called
2462
``backup.bzr``, not ``.bzr.backup``. (Martin Albisetti)
2466
* A new repository format 'development' has been added. This format will
2467
represent the latest 'in-progress' format that the bzr developers are
2468
interested in getting early-adopter testing and feedback on.
2469
``doc/developers/development-repo.txt`` has detailed information.
2472
* BZR_LOG environment variable controls location of .bzr.log trace file.
2473
User can suppress writing messages to .bzr.log by using '/dev/null'
2474
filename (on Linux) or 'NUL' (on Windows). If BZR_LOG variable
2475
is not defined but BZR_HOME is defined then default location
2476
for .bzr.log trace file is ``$BZR_HOME/.bzr.log``.
2477
(Alexander Belchenko, #106117)
2479
* ``launchpad`` builtin plugin now shipped as separate part in standalone
2480
bzr.exe, installed to ``C:\Program Files\Bazaar\plugins`` directory,
2481
and standalone installer allows user to skip installation of this plugin.
2482
(Alexander Belchenko)
2484
* Restore auto-detection of plink.exe on Windows. (Dmitry Vasiliev)
2486
* Version number is now shown as "1.2" or "1.2pr2", without zeroed or
2487
missing final fields. (Martin Pool)
2491
* ``branch`` and ``checkout`` can hard-link working tree files, which is
2492
faster and saves space. (Aaron Bentley)
2494
* ``bzr send`` will now also look at the ``child_submit_to`` setting in
2495
the submit branch to determine the email address to send to.
2500
* BzrBranch._lefthand_history is faster on pack repos. (Aaron Bentley)
2502
* Branch6.generate_revision_history is faster. (Aaron Bentley)
2504
* Directory services can now be registered, allowing special URLs to be
2505
dereferenced into real URLs. This is a generalization and cleanup of
2506
the lp: transport lookup. (Aaron Bentley)
2508
* Merge directives that are automatically attached to emails have nicer
2509
filenames, based on branch-nick + revno. (Aaron Bentley)
2511
* ``push`` has a ``--revision`` option, to specify what revision to push up
2512
to. (Daniel Watkins)
2514
* Significantly reducing execution time and network traffic for trivial
2515
case of running ``bzr missing`` command for two identical branches.
2516
(Alexander Belchenko)
2518
* Speed up operations that look at the revision graph (such as 'bzr log').
2519
``KnitPackRepositor.get_revision_graph`` uses ``Graph.iter_ancestry`` to
2520
extract the revision history. This allows filtering ghosts while
2521
stepping instead of needing to peek ahead. (John Arbash Meinel)
2523
* The ``hooks`` command lists installed hooks, to assist in debugging.
2526
* Updates to how ``annotate`` work. Should see a measurable improvement in
2527
performance and memory consumption for file with a lot of merges.
2528
Also, correctly handle when a line is introduced by both parents (it
2529
should be attributed to the first merge which notices this, and not
2530
to all subsequent merges.) (John Arbash Meinel)
2534
* Autopacking no longer holds the full set of inventory lines in
2535
memory while copying. For large repositories, this can amount to
2536
hundreds of MB of ram consumption.
2537
(Ian Clatworthy, John Arbash Meinel)
2539
* Cherrypicking when using ``--format=merge3`` now explictly excludes
2540
BASE lines. (John Arbash Meinel, #151731)
2542
* Disable plink's interactive prompt for password.
2543
(#107593, Dmitry Vasiliev)
2545
* Encode command line arguments from unicode to user_encoding before
2546
invoking external mail client in `bzr send` command.
2547
(#139318, Alexander Belchenko)
2549
* Fixed problem connecting to ``bzr+https://`` servers.
2550
(#198793, John Ferlito)
2552
* Improved error reporting in the Launchpad plugin. (Daniel Watkins,
2555
* Include quick-start-summary.svg file to python-based installer(s)
2556
for Windows. (#192924, Alexander Belchenko)
2558
* lca merge now respects specified files. (Aaron Bentley)
2560
* Make version-info --custom imply --all. (#195560, James Westby)
2562
* ``merge --preview`` now works for merges that add or modify
2563
symlinks (James Henstridge)
2565
* Redirecting the output from ``bzr merge`` (when the remembered
2566
location is used) now works. (John Arbash Meinel)
2568
* setup.py script explicitly checks for Python version.
2569
(Jari Aalto, Alexander Belchenko, #200569)
2571
* UnknownFormatErrors no longer refer to branches regardless of kind of
2572
unknown format. (Daniel Watkins, #173980)
2574
* Upgrade bundled ConfigObj to version 4.5.2, which properly quotes #
2575
signs, among other small improvements. (Matt Nordhoff, #86838)
2577
* Use correct indices when emitting LCA conflicts. This fixes IndexError
2578
errors. (Aaron Bentley, #196780)
2582
* Explained how to use ``version-info --custom`` in the User Guide.
2583
(Neil Martinsen-Burrell)
2587
* Support for loading plugins from zip files and
2588
``bzrlib.plugin.load_from_zip()`` function are deprecated.
2589
(Alexander Belchenko)
2593
* Added missing blackbox tests for ``modified`` (Adrian Wilkins)
2595
* The branch interface tests were invalid for branches using rich-root
2596
repositories because the empty string is not a valid file-id.
2601
* ``Graph.iter_ancestry`` returns the ancestry of revision ids. Similar to
2602
``Repository.get_revision_graph()`` except it includes ghosts and you can
2603
stop part-way through. (John Arbash Meinel)
2605
* New module ``tools/package_mf.py`` provide custom module finder for
2606
python packages (improves standard python library's modulefinder.py)
2607
used by ``setup.py`` script while building standalone bzr.exe.
2608
(Alexander Belchenko)
2610
* New remote method ``RemoteBzrDir.find_repositoryV2`` adding support for
2611
detecting external lookup support on remote repositories. This method is
2612
now attempted first when lookup up repositories, leading to an extra
2613
round trip on older bzr smart servers. (Robert Collins)
2615
* Repository formats have a new supported-feature attribute
2616
``supports_external_lookups`` used to indicate repositories which support
2617
falling back to other repositories when they have partial data.
2620
* ``Repository.get_revision_graph_with_ghosts`` and
2621
``bzrlib.revision.(common_ancestor,MultipleRevisionSources,common_graph)``
2622
have been deprecated. (John Arbash Meinel)
2624
* ``Tree.iter_changes`` is now a public API, replacing the work-in-progress
2625
``Tree._iter_changes``. The api is now considered stable and ready for
2626
external users. (Aaron Bentley)
2628
* The bzrdir format registry now accepts an ``alias`` keyword to
2629
register_metadir, used to indicate that a format name is an alias for
2630
some other format and thus should not be reported when describing the
2631
format. (Robert Collins)
2639
* Fix failing test in Launchpad plugin. (Martin Pool)
2642
bzr 1.2rc1 2008-02-13
2643
---------------------
2645
NOTES WHEN UPGRADING:
2647
* Fetching via the smart protocol may need to reconnect once during a fetch
2648
if the remote server is running Bazaar 1.1 or earlier, because the client
2649
attempts to use more efficient requests that confuse older servers. You
2650
may be required to re-enter a password or passphrase when this happens.
2651
This won't happen if the server is upgraded to Bazaar 1.2.
2656
* Fetching via bzr+ssh will no longer fill ghosts by default (this is
2657
consistent with pack-0.92 fetching over SFTP). (Robert Collins)
2659
* Formatting of ``bzr plugins`` output is changed to be more human-
2660
friendly. Full path of plugins locations will be shown only with
2661
``--verbose`` command-line option. (Alexander Belchenko)
2663
* ``merge`` now prefers to use the submit branch, but will fall back to
2664
parent branch. For many users, this has no effect. But some users who
2665
pull and merge on the same branch will notice a change. This change
2666
makes it easier to work on a branch on two different machines, pulling
2667
between the machines, while merging from the upstream.
2668
``merge --remember`` can now be used to set the submit_branch.
2673
* ``merge --preview`` produces a diff of the changes merge would make,
2674
but does not actually perform the merge. (Aaron Bentley)
2676
* New smart method ``Repository.get_parent_map`` for getting revision
2677
parent data. This returns additional parent information topologically
2678
adjacent to the requested data to reduce round trip latency impacts.
2681
* New smart method, ``Repository.stream_revisions_chunked``, for fetching
2682
revision data that streams revision data via a chunked encoding. This
2683
avoids buffering large amounts of revision data on the server and on the
2684
client, and sends less data to the server to request the revisions.
2685
(Andrew Bennetts, Robert Collins, #178353)
2687
* The launchpad plugin now handles lp urls of the form
2688
``lp://staging/``, ``lp://demo/``, ``lp://dev/`` to use the appropriate
2689
launchpad instance to do the resolution of the branch identities.
2690
This is primarily of use to Launchpad developers, but can also
2691
be used by other users who want to try out Launchpad as
2692
a branch location without messing up their public Launchpad
2693
account. Branches that are pushed to the staging environment
2694
have an expected lifetime of one day. (Tim Penhey)
2698
* Creating a new branch no longer tries to read the entire revision-history
2699
unnecessarily over smart server operations. (Robert Collins)
2701
* Fetching between different repository formats with compatible models now
2702
takes advantage of the smart method to stream revisions. (Andrew Bennetts)
2704
* The ``--coverage`` option is now global, rather specific to ``bzr
2705
selftest``. (Andrew Bennetts)
2707
* The ``register-branch`` command will now use the public url of the branch
2708
containing the current directory, if one has been set and no explicit
2709
branch is provided. (Robert Collins)
2711
* Tweak the ``reannotate`` code path to optimize the 2-parent case.
2712
Speeds up ``bzr annotate`` with a pack repository by approx 3:2.
2713
(John Arbash Meinel)
2717
* Calculate remote path relative to the shared medium in _SmartClient. This
2718
is related to the problem in bug #124089. (Andrew Bennetts)
2720
* Cleanly handle connection errors in smart protocol version two, the same
2721
way as they are handled by version one. (Andrew Bennetts)
2723
* Clearer error when ``version-info --custom`` is used without
2724
``--template`` (Lukáš Lalinský)
2726
* Don't raise UnavailableFeature during test setup when medusa is not
2727
available or tearDown is never called leading to nasty side effects.
2728
(#137823, Vincent Ladeuil)
2730
* If a plugin's test suite cannot be loaded, for example because of a syntax
2731
error in the tests, then ``selftest`` fails, rather than just printing
2732
a warning. (Martin Pool, #189771)
2734
* List possible values for BZR_SSH environment variable in env-variables
2735
help topic. (Alexander Belchenko, #181842)
2737
* New methods ``push_log_file`` and ``pop_log_file`` to intercept messages:
2738
popping the log redirection now precisely restores the previous state,
2739
which makes it easier to use bzr log output from other programs.
2740
TestCaseInTempDir no longer depends on a log redirection being established
2741
by the test framework, which lets bzr tests cleanly run from a normal
2743
(#124153, #124849, Martin Pool, Jonathan Lange)
2745
* ``pull --quiet`` is now more quiet, in particular a message is no longer
2746
printed when the remembered pull location is used. (James Westby,
2749
* ``reconfigure`` can safely be interrupted while fetching.
2750
(Aaron Bentley, #179316)
2752
* ``reconfigure`` preserves tags when converting to and from lightweight
2753
checkouts. (Aaron Bentley, #182040)
2755
* Stop polluting /tmp when running selftest.
2756
(Vincent Ladeuil, #123623)
2758
* Switch from NFKC => NFC for normalization checks. NFC allows a few
2759
more characters which should be considered valid.
2760
(John Arbash Meinel, #185458)
2762
* The launchpad plugin now uses the ``edge`` xmlrpc server to avoid
2763
interacting badly with a bug on the launchpad side. (Robert Collins)
2765
* Unknown hostnames when connecting to a ``bzr://`` URL no longer cause
2766
tracebacks. (Andrew Bennetts, #182849)
2770
* Classes implementing Merge types like Merge3Merger must now accept (and
2771
honour) a do_merge flag in their constructor. (Aaron Bentley)
2773
* ``Repository.add_inventory`` and ``add_revision`` now require the caller
2774
to previously take a write lock (and start a write group.)
2779
* selftest now accepts --load-list <file> to load a test id list. This
2780
speeds up running the test suite on a limited set of tests.
2785
* Add a new method ``get_result`` to graph search objects. The resulting
2786
``SearchResult`` can be used to recreate the search later, which will
2787
be useful in reducing network traffic. (Robert Collins)
2789
* Use convenience function to check whether two repository handles
2790
are referring to the same repository in ``Repository.get_graph``.
2791
(Jelmer Vernooij, #187162)
2793
* Fetching now passes the find_ghosts flag through to the
2794
``InterRepository.missing_revision_ids`` call consistently for all
2795
repository types. This will enable faster missing revision discovery with
2796
bzr+ssh. (Robert Collins)
2798
* Fix error handling in Repository.insert_data_stream. (Lukas Lalinsky)
2800
* ``InterRepository.missing_revision_ids`` is now deprecated in favour of
2801
``InterRepository.search_missing_revision_ids`` which returns a
2802
``bzrlib.graph.SearchResult`` suitable for making requests from the smart
2803
server. (Robert Collins)
2805
* New error ``NoPublicBranch`` for commands that need a public branch to
2806
operate. (Robert Collins)
2808
* New method ``iter_inventories`` on Repository for access to many
2809
inventories. This is primarily used by the ``revision_trees`` method, as
2810
direct access to inventories is discouraged. (Robert Collins)
2812
* New method ``next_with_ghosts`` on the Graph breadth-first-search objects
2813
which will split out ghosts and present parents into two separate sets,
2814
useful for code which needs to be aware of ghosts (e.g. fetching data
2815
cares about ghosts during revision selection). (Robert Collins)
2817
* Record a timestamp against each mutter to the trace file, relative to the
2818
first import of bzrlib. (Andrew Bennetts)
2820
* ``Repository.get_data_stream`` is now deprecated in favour of
2821
``Repository.get_data_stream_for_search`` which allows less network
2822
traffic when requesting data streams over a smart server. (Robert Collins)
2824
* ``RemoteBzrDir._get_tree_branch`` no longer triggers ``_ensure_real``,
2825
removing one round trip on many network operations. (Robert Collins)
2827
* RemoteTransport's ``recommended_page_size`` method now returns 64k, like
2828
SFTPTransport and HttpTransportBase. (Andrew Bennetts)
2830
* Repository has a new method ``has_revisions`` which signals the presence
2831
of many revisions by returning a set of the revisions listed which are
2832
present. This can be done by index queries without reading data for parent
2833
revision names etc. (Robert Collins)
2839
(no changes from 1.1rc1)
2841
bzr 1.1rc1 2008-01-05
2842
---------------------
2846
* Dotted revision numbers have been revised. Instead of growing longer with
2847
nested branches the branch number just increases. (eg instead of 1.1.1.1.1
2848
we now report 1.2.1.) This helps scale long lived branches which have many
2849
feature branches merged between them. (John Arbash Meinel)
2851
* The syntax ``bzr diff branch1 branch2`` is no longer supported.
2852
Use ``bzr diff branch1 --new branch2`` instead. This change has
2853
been made to remove the ambiguity where ``branch2`` is in fact a
2854
specific file to diff within ``branch1``.
2858
* New option to use custom template-based formats in ``bzr version-info``.
2861
* diff '--using' allows an external diff tool to be used for files.
2864
* New "lca" merge-type for fast everyday merging that also supports
2865
criss-cross merges. (Aaron Bentley)
2869
* ``annotate`` now doesn't require a working tree. (Lukáš Lalinský,
2872
* ``branch`` and ``checkout`` can now use files from a working tree to
2873
to speed up the process. For checkout, this requires the new
2874
--files-from flag. (Aaron Bentley)
2876
* ``bzr diff`` now sorts files in alphabetical order. (Aaron Bentley)
2878
* ``bzr diff`` now works on branches without working trees. Tree-less
2879
branches can also be compared to each other and to working trees using
2880
the new diff options ``--old`` and ``--new``. Diffing between branches,
2881
with or without trees, now supports specific file filtering as well.
2882
(Ian Clatworthy, #6700)
2884
* ``bzr pack`` now orders revision texts in topological order, with newest
2885
at the start of the file, promoting linear reads for ``bzr log`` and the
2886
like. This partially fixes #154129. (Robert Collins)
2888
* Merge directives now fetch prerequisites from the target branch if
2889
needed. (Aaron Bentley)
2891
* pycurl now handles digest authentication.
2894
* ``reconfigure`` can now convert from repositories. (Aaron Bentley)
2896
* ``-l`` is now a short form for ``--limit`` in ``log``. (Matt Nordhoff)
2898
* ``merge`` now warns when merge directives cause cherrypicks.
2901
* ``split`` now supported, to enable splitting large trees into smaller
2902
pieces. (Aaron Bentley)
2906
* Avoid AttributeError when unlocking a pack repository when an error occurs.
2907
(Martin Pool, #180208)
2909
* Better handle short reads when processing multiple range requests.
2910
(Vincent Ladeuil, #179368)
2912
* build_tree acceleration uses the correct path when a file has been moved.
2915
* ``commit`` now succeeds when a checkout and its master branch share a
2916
repository. (Aaron Bentley, #177592)
2918
* Fixed error reporting of unsupported timezone format in
2919
``log --timezone``. (Lukáš Lalinský, #178722)
2921
* Fixed Unicode encoding error in ``ignored`` when the output is
2922
redirected to a pipe. (Lukáš Lalinský)
2924
* Fix traceback when sending large response bodies over the smart protocol
2925
on Windows. (Andrew Bennetts, #115781)
2927
* Fix ``urlutils.relative_url`` for the case of two ``file:///`` URLs
2928
pointed to different logical drives on Windows.
2929
(Alexander Belchenko, #90847)
2931
* HTTP test servers are now compatible with the http protocol version 1.1.
2932
(Vincent Ladeuil, #175524)
2934
* _KnitParentsProvider.get_parent_map now handles requests for ghosts
2935
correctly, instead of erroring or attributing incorrect parents to ghosts.
2938
* ``merge --weave --uncommitted`` now works. (Aaron Bentley)
2940
* pycurl authentication handling was broken and incomplete. Fix handling of
2941
user:pass embedded in the urls.
2942
(Vincent Ladeuil, #177643)
2944
* Files inside non-directories are now handled like other conflict types.
2945
(Aaron Bentley, #177390)
2947
* ``reconfigure`` is able to convert trees into lightweight checkouts.
2950
* Reduce lockdir timeout to 0 when running ``bzr serve``. (Andrew Bennetts,
2953
* Test that the old ``version_info_format`` functions still work, even
2954
though they are deprecated. (John Arbash Meinel, ShenMaq, #177872)
2956
* Transform failures no longer cause ImmortalLimbo errors (Aaron Bentley,
2959
* ``uncommit`` works even when the commit messages of revisions to be
2960
removed use characters not supported in the terminal encoding.
2963
* When dumb http servers return whole files instead of the requested ranges,
2964
read the remaining bytes by chunks to avoid overflowing network buffers.
2965
(Vincent Ladeuil, #175886)
2969
* Minor tweaks made to the bug tracker integration documentation.
2972
* Reference material has now be moved out of the User Guide and added
2973
to the User Reference. The User Reference has gained 4 sections as
2974
a result: Authenication Settings, Configuration Settings, Conflicts
2975
and Hooks. All help topics are now dumped into text format in the
2976
doc/en/user-reference directory for those who like browsing that
2977
information in their editor. (Ian Clatworthy)
2979
* *Using Bazaar with Launchpad* tutorial added. (Ian Clatworthy)
2983
* find_* methods available for BzrDirs, Branches and WorkingTrees.
2986
* Help topics can now be loaded from files.
2987
(Ian Clatworthy, Alexander Belchenko)
2989
* get_parent_map now always provides tuples as its output. (Aaron Bentley)
2991
* Parent Providers should now implement ``get_parent_map`` returning a
2992
dictionary instead of ``get_parents`` returning a list.
2993
``Graph.get_parents`` is now deprecated. (John Arbash Meinel,
2996
* Patience Diff now supports arbitrary python objects, as long as they
2997
support ``hash()``. (John Arbash Meinel)
2999
* Reduce selftest overhead to establish test names by memoization.
3006
* Modules can now customise their tests by defining a ``load_tests``
3007
attribute. ``pydoc bzrlib.tests.TestUtil.TestLoader.loadTestsFromModule``
3008
for the documentation on this attribute. (Robert Collins)
3010
* New helper function ``bzrlib.tests.condition_id_re`` which helps
3011
filter tests based on a regular expression search on the tests id.
3014
* New helper function ``bzrlib.tests.condition_isinstance`` which helps
3015
filter tests based on class. (Robert Collins)
3017
* New helper function ``bzrlib.tests.exclude_suite_by_condition`` which
3018
generalises the ``exclude_suite_by_re`` function. (Robert Collins)
3020
* New helper function ``bzrlib.tests.filter_suite_by_condition`` which
3021
generalises the ``filter_suite_by_re`` function. (Robert Collins)
3023
* New helper method ``bzrlib.tests.exclude_tests_by_re`` which gives a new
3024
TestSuite that does not contain tests from the input that matched a
3025
regular expression. (Robert Collins)
3027
* New helper method ``bzrlib.tests.randomize_suite`` which returns a
3028
randomized copy of the input suite. (Robert Collins)
3030
* New helper method ``bzrlib.tests.split_suite_by_re`` which splits a test
3031
suite into two according to a regular expression. (Robert Collins)
3033
* Parametrize all http tests for the transport implementations, the http
3034
protocol versions (1.0 and 1.1) and the authentication schemes.
3037
* The ``exclude_pattern`` and ``random_order`` parameters to the function
3038
``bzrlib.tests.filter_suite_by_re`` have been deprecated. (Robert Collins)
3040
* The method ``bzrlib.tests.sort_suite_by_re`` has been deprecated. It is
3041
replaced by the new helper methods added in this release. (Robert Collins)
3049
* More improvements and fixes to the User Guide. (Ian Clatworthy)
3051
* Add information on cherrypicking/rebasing to the User Guide.
3054
* Improve bug tracker integration documentation. (Ian Clatworthy)
3056
* Minor edits to ``Bazaar in five minutes`` from David Roberts and
3057
to the rebasing section of the User Guide from Aaron Bentley.
3061
bzr 1.0rc3 2007-12-11
3062
---------------------
3066
* If a traceback occurs, users are now asked to report the bug
3067
through Launchpad (https://bugs.launchpad.net/bzr/), rather than
3068
by mail to the mailing list.
3073
* Fix Makefile rules for doc generation. (Ian Clatworthy, #175207)
3075
* Give more feedback during long http downloads by making readv deliver data
3076
as it arrives for urllib, and issue more requests for pycurl. High latency
3077
networks are better handled by urllib, the pycurl implementation give more
3078
feedback but also incur more latency.
3079
(Vincent Ladeuil, #173010)
3081
* Implement _make_parents_provider on RemoteRepository, allowing generating
3082
bundles against branches on a smart server. (Andrew Bennetts, #147836)
3086
* Improved user guide. (Ian Clatworthy)
3088
* The single-page quick reference guide is now available as a PDF.
3093
* readv urllib http implementation is now a real iterator above the
3094
underlying socket and deliver data as soon as it arrives. 'get' still
3095
wraps its output in a StringIO.
3099
bzr 1.0rc2 2007-12-07
3100
---------------------
3104
* Added a --coverage option to selftest. (Andrew Bennetts)
3106
* Annotate merge (merge-type=weave) now supports cherrypicking.
3109
* ``bzr commit`` now doesn't print the revision number twice. (Matt
3112
* New configuration option ``bugtracker_<tracker_abbrevation>_url`` to
3113
define locations of bug trackers that are not directly supported by
3114
bzr or a plugin. The URL will be treated as a template and ``{id}``
3115
placeholders will be replaced by specific bug IDs. (Lukáš Lalinský)
3117
* Support logging single merge revisions with short and line log formatters.
3120
* User Guide enhanced with suggested readability improvements from
3121
Matt Revell and corrections from John Arbash Meinel. (Ian Clatworthy)
3123
* Quick Start Guide renamed to Quick Start Card, moved down in
3124
the catalog, provided in pdf and png format and updated to refer
3125
to ``send`` instead of ``bundle``. (Ian Clatworthy, #165080)
3127
* ``switch`` can now be used on heavyweight checkouts as well as
3128
lightweight ones. After switching a heavyweight checkout, the
3129
local branch is a mirror/cache of the new bound branch and
3130
uncommitted changes in the working tree are merged. As a safety
3131
check, if there are local commits in a checkout which have not
3132
been committed to the previously bound branch, then ``switch``
3133
fails unless the ``--force`` option is given. This option is
3134
now also required if the branch a lightweight checkout is pointing
3135
to has been moved. (Ian Clatworthy)
3139
* New -Dhttp debug option reports http connections, requests and responses.
3142
* New -Dmerge debug option, which emits merge plans for merge-type=weave.
3146
* Better error message when running ``bzr cat`` on a non-existant branch.
3147
(Lukáš Lalinský, #133782)
3149
* Catch OSError 17 (file exists) in final phase of tree transform and show
3151
(Alexander Belchenko, #111758)
3153
* Catch ShortReadvErrors while using pycurl. Also make readv more robust by
3154
allowing multiple GET requests to be issued if too many ranges are
3156
(Vincent Ladeuil, #172701)
3158
* Check for missing basis texts when fetching from packs to packs.
3159
(John Arbash Meinel, #165290)
3161
* Fall back to showing e-mail in ``log --short/--line`` if the
3162
committer/author has only e-mail. (Lukáš Lalinský, #157026)
3166
* Deprecate not passing a ``location`` argument to commit reporters'
3167
``started`` methods. (Matt Nordhoff)
3170
bzr 1.0rc1 2007-11-30
3171
---------------------
3173
NOTES WHEN UPGRADING:
3175
* The default repository format is now ``pack-0.92``. This
3176
default is used when creating new repositories with ``init`` and
3177
``init-repo``, and when branching over bzr+ssh or bzr+hpss.
3178
(See https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/164626)
3180
This format can be read and written by Bazaar 0.92 and later, and
3181
data can be transferred to and from older formats.
3183
To upgrade, please reconcile your repository (``bzr reconcile``), and then
3184
upgrade (``bzr upgrade``).
3186
``pack-0.92`` offers substantially better scaling and performance than the
3187
previous knits format. Some operations are slower where the code already
3188
had bad scaling characteristics under knits, the pack format makes such
3189
operations more visible as part of being more scalable overall. We will
3190
correct such operations over the coming releases and encourage the filing
3191
of bugs on any operation which you observe to be slower in a packs
3192
repository. One particular case that we do not intend to fix is pulling
3193
data from a pack repository into a knit repository over a high latency
3194
link; downgrading such data requires reinsertion of the file texts, and
3195
this is a classic space/time tradeoff. The current implementation is
3196
conservative on memory usage because we need to support converting data
3197
from any tree without problems.
3198
(Robert Collins, Martin Pool, #164476)
3202
* Disable detection of plink.exe as possible ssh vendor. Plink vendor
3203
still available if user selects it explicitly with BZR_SSH environment
3204
variable. (Alexander Belchenko, workaround for bug #107593)
3206
* The pack format is now accessible as "pack-0.92", or "pack-0.92-subtree"
3207
to enable the subtree functions (for example, for bzr-svn).
3208
See http://doc.bazaar-vcs.org/latest/developer/packrepo.html
3213
* New ``authentication.conf`` file holding the password or other credentials
3214
for remote servers. This can be used for ssh, sftp, smtp and other
3215
supported transports.
3218
* New rich-root and rich-root-pack formats, recording the same data about
3219
tree roots that's recorded for all other directories.
3220
(Aaron Bentley, #164639)
3222
* ``pack-0.92`` repositories can now be reconciled.
3223
(Robert Collins, #154173)
3225
* ``switch`` command added for changing the branch a lightweight checkout
3226
is associated with and updating the tree to reflect the latest content
3227
accordingly. This command was previously part of the BzrTools plug-in.
3228
(Ian Clatworthy, Aaron Bentley, David Allouche)
3230
* ``reconfigure`` command can now convert branches, trees, or checkouts to
3231
lightweight checkouts. (Aaron Bentley)
3235
* Commit updates the state of the working tree via a delta rather than
3236
supplying entirely new basis trees. For commit of a single specified file
3237
this reduces the wall clock time for commit by roughly a 30%.
3238
(Robert Collins, Martin Pool)
3240
* Commit with many automatically found deleted paths no longer performs
3241
linear scanning for the children of those paths during inventory
3242
iteration. This should fix commit performance blowing out when many such
3243
paths occur during commit. (Robert Collins, #156491)
3245
* Fetch with pack repositories will no longer read the entire history graph.
3246
(Robert Collins, #88319)
3248
* Revert takes out an appropriate lock when reverting to a basis tree, and
3249
does not read the basis inventory twice. (Robert Collins)
3251
* Diff does not require an inventory to be generated on dirstate trees.
3252
(Aaron Bentley, #149254)
3254
* New annotate merge (--merge-type=weave) implementation is fast on
3255
versionedfiles withough cached annotations, e.g. pack-0.92.
3260
* ``bzr merge`` now warns when it encounters a criss-cross merge.
3263
* ``bzr send`` now doesn't require the target e-mail address to be
3264
specified on the command line if an interactive e-mail client is used.
3267
* ``bzr tags`` now prints the revision number for each tag, instead of
3268
the revision id, unless --show-ids is passed. In addition, tags can be
3269
sorted chronologically instead of lexicographically with --sort=time.
3270
(Adeodato Simó, #120231)
3272
* Windows standalone version of bzr is able to load system-wide plugins from
3273
"plugins" subdirectory in installation directory. In addition standalone
3274
installer write to the registry (HKLM\SOFTWARE\Bazaar) useful info
3275
about paths and bzr version. (Alexander Belchenko, #129298)
3281
* A progress bar has been added for knitpack -> knitpack fetching.
3282
(Robert Collins, #157789, #159147)
3284
* Branching from a branch via smart server now preserves the repository
3285
format. (Andrew Bennetts, #164626)
3287
* ``commit`` is now able to invoke an external editor in a non-ascii
3288
directory. (Daniel Watkins, #84043)
3290
* Catch connection errors for ftp.
3291
(Vincent Ladeuil, #164567)
3293
* ``check`` no longer reports spurious unreferenced text versions.
3294
(Robert Collins, John A Meinel, #162931, #165071)
3296
* Conflicts are now resolved recursively by ``revert``.
3297
(Aaron Bentley, #102739)
3299
* Detect invalid transport reuse attempts by catching invalid URLs.
3300
(Vincent Ladeuil, #161819)
3302
* Deleting a file without removing it shows a correct diff, not a traceback.
3305
* Do no use timeout in HttpServer anymore.
3306
(Vincent Ladeuil, #158972).
3308
* Don't catch the exceptions related to the http pipeline status before
3309
retrying an http request or some programming errors may be masked.
3310
(Vincent Ladeuil, #160012)
3312
* Fix ``bzr rm`` to not delete modified and ignored files.
3313
(Lukáš Lalinský, #172598)
3315
* Fix exception when revisionspec contains merge revisons but log
3316
formatter doesn't support merge revisions. (Kent Gibson, #148908)
3318
* Fix exception when ScopeReplacer is assigned to before any members have
3319
been retrieved. (Aaron Bentley)
3321
* Fix multiple connections during checkout --lightweight.
3322
(Vincent Ladeuil, #159150)
3324
* Fix possible error in insert_data_stream when copying between
3325
pack repositories over bzr+ssh or bzr+http.
3326
KnitVersionedFile.get_data_stream now makes sure that requested
3327
compression parents are sent before any delta hunks that depend
3329
(Martin Pool, #164637)
3331
* Fix typo in limiting offsets coalescing for http, leading to
3332
whole files being downloaded instead of parts.
3333
(Vincent Ladeuil, #165061)
3335
* FTP server errors don't error in the error handling code.
3336
(Robert Collins, #161240)
3338
* Give a clearer message when a pull fails because the source needs
3340
(Martin Pool, #164443)
3342
* It is clearer when a plugin cannot be loaded because of its name, and a
3343
suggestion for an acceptable name is given. (Daniel Watkins, #103023)
3345
* Leave port as None in transport objects if user doesn't
3346
specify a port in urls.
3347
(vincent Ladeuil, #150860)
3349
* Make sure Repository.fetch(self) is properly a no-op for all
3350
Repository implementations. (John Arbash Meinel, #158333)
3352
* Mark .bzr directories as "hidden" on Windows.
3353
(Alexander Belchenko, #71147)
3355
* ``merge --uncommitted`` can now operate on a single file.
3356
(Aaron Bentley, Lukáš Lalinský, #136890)
3358
* Obsolete packs are now cleaned up by pack and autopack operations.
3359
(Robert Collins, #153789)
3361
* Operations pulling data from a smart server where the underlying
3362
repositories are not both annotated/both unannotated will now work.
3363
(Robert Collins, #165304).
3365
* Reconcile now shows progress bars. (Robert Collins, #159351)
3367
* ``RemoteBranch`` was not initializing ``self._revision_id_to_revno_map``
3368
properly. (John Arbash Meinel, #162486)
3370
* Removing an already-removed file reports the file does not exist. (Daniel
3373
* Rename on Windows is able to change filename case.
3374
(Alexander Belchenko, #77740)
3376
* Return error instead of a traceback for ``bzr log -r0``.
3377
(Kent Gibson, #133751)
3379
* Return error instead of a traceback when bzr is unable to create
3380
symlink on some platforms (e.g. on Windows).
3381
(Alexander Belchenko, workaround for #81689)
3383
* Revert doesn't crash when restoring a single file from a deleted
3384
directory. (Aaron Bentley)
3386
* Stderr output via logging mechanism now goes through encoded wrapper
3387
and no more uses utf-8, but terminal encoding instead. So all unicode
3388
strings now should be readable in non-utf-8 terminal.
3389
(Alexander Belchenko, #54173)
3391
* The error message when ``move --after`` should be used makes how to do so
3392
clearer. (Daniel Watkins, #85237)
3394
* Unicode-safe output from ``bzr info``. The output will be encoded
3395
using the terminal encoding and unrepresentable characters will be
3396
replaced by '?'. (Lukáš Lalinský, #151844)
3398
* Working trees are no longer created when pushing into a local no-trees
3399
repo. (Daniel Watkins, #50582)
3401
* Upgrade util/configobj to version 4.4.0.
3402
(Vincent Ladeuil, #151208).
3404
* Wrap medusa ftp test server as an FTPServer feature.
3405
(Vincent Ladeuil, #157752)
3409
* ``osutils.backup_file`` is deprecated. Actually it's not used in bzrlib
3410
during very long time. (Alexander Belchenko)
3412
* The return value of
3413
``VersionedFile.iter_lines_added_or_present_in_versions`` has been
3414
changed. Previously it was an iterator of lines, now it is an iterator of
3415
(line, version_id) tuples. This change has been made to aid reconcile and
3416
fetch operations. (Robert Collins)
3418
* ``bzrlib.repository.get_versioned_file_checker`` is now private.
3421
* The Repository format registry default has been removed; it was previously
3422
obsoleted by the bzrdir format default, which implies a default repository
3428
* Added ``ContainerSerialiser`` and ``ContainerPushParser`` to
3429
``bzrlib.pack``. These classes provide more convenient APIs for generating
3430
and parsing containers from streams rather than from files. (Andrew
3433
* New module ``lru_cache`` providing a cache for use by tasks that need
3434
semi-random access to large amounts of data. (John A Meinel)
3436
* InventoryEntry.diff is now deprecated. Please use diff.DiffTree instead.
3446
* New uninstaller on Win32. (Alexander Belchenko)
3449
bzr 0.92rc1 2007-10-29
3450
----------------------
3452
NOTES WHEN UPGRADING:
3456
* ``bzr`` now returns exit code 4 if an internal error occurred, and
3457
3 if a normal error occurred. (Martin Pool)
3459
* ``pull``, ``merge`` and ``push`` will no longer silently correct some
3460
repository index errors that occured as a result of the Weave disk format.
3461
Instead the ``reconcile`` command needs to be run to correct those
3462
problems if they exist (and it has been able to fix most such problems
3463
since bzr 0.8). Some new problems have been identified during this release
3464
and you should run ``bzr check`` once on every repository to see if you
3465
need to reconcile. If you cannot ``pull`` or ``merge`` from a remote
3466
repository due to mismatched parent errors - a symptom of index errors -
3467
you should simply take a full copy of that remote repository to a clean
3468
directory outside any local repositories, then run reconcile on it, and
3469
finally pull from it locally. (And naturally email the repositories owner
3470
to ask them to upgrade and run reconcile).
3475
* New ``knitpack-experimental`` repository format. This is interoperable with
3476
the ``dirstate-tags`` format but uses a smarter storage design that greatly
3477
speeds up many operations, both local and remote. This new format can be
3478
used as an option to the ``init``, ``init-repository`` and ``upgrade``
3479
commands. See http://doc.bazaar-vcs.org/0.92/developers/knitpack.html
3480
for further details. (Robert Collins)
3482
* For users of bzr-svn (and those testing the prototype subtree support) that
3483
wish to try packs, a new ``knitpack-subtree-experimental`` format has also
3484
been added. This is interoperable with the ``dirstate-subtrees`` format.
3487
* New ``reconfigure`` command. (Aaron Bentley)
3489
* New ``revert --forget-merges`` command, which removes the record of a pending
3490
merge without affecting the working tree contents. (Martin Pool)
3492
* New ``bzr_remote_path`` configuration variable allows finer control of
3493
remote bzr locations than BZR_REMOTE_PATH environment variable.
3496
* New ``launchpad-login`` command to tell Bazaar your Launchpad
3497
user ID. This can then be used by other functions of the
3498
Launchpad plugin. (James Henstridge)
3502
* Commit in quiet mode is now slightly faster as the information to
3503
output is no longer calculated. (Ian Clatworthy)
3505
* Commit no longer checks for new text keys during insertion when the
3506
revision id was deterministically unique. (Robert Collins)
3508
* Committing a change which is not a merge and does not change the number of
3509
files in the tree is faster by utilising the data about whether files are
3510
changed to determine if the tree is unchanged rather than recalculating
3511
it at the end of the commit process. (Robert Collins)
3513
* Inventory serialisation no longer double-sha's the content.
3516
* Knit text reconstruction now avoids making copies of the lines list for
3517
interim texts when building a single text. The new ``apply_delta`` method
3518
on ``KnitContent`` aids this by allowing modification of the revision id
3519
such objects represent. (Robert Collins)
3521
* Pack indices are now partially parsed for specific key lookup using a
3522
bisection approach. (Robert Collins)
3524
* Partial commits are now approximately 40% faster by walking over the
3525
unselected current tree more efficiently. (Robert Collins)
3527
* XML inventory serialisation takes 20% less time while being stricter about
3528
the contents. (Robert Collins)
3530
* Graph ``heads()`` queries have been fixed to no longer access all history
3531
unnecessarily. (Robert Collins)
3535
* ``bzr+https://`` smart server across https now supported.
3536
(John Ferlito, Martin Pool, #128456)
3538
* Mutt is now a supported mail client; set ``mail_client=mutt`` in your
3539
bazaar.conf and ``send`` will use mutt. (Keir Mierle)
3541
* New option ``-c``/``--change`` for ``merge`` command for cherrypicking
3542
changes from one revision. (Alexander Belchenko, #141368)
3544
* Show encodings, locale and list of plugins in the traceback message.
3545
(Martin Pool, #63894)
3547
* Experimental directory formats can now be marked with
3548
``experimental = True`` during registration. (Ian Clatworthy)
3552
* New *Bazaar in Five Minutes* guide. (Matthew Revell)
3554
* The hooks reference documentation is now converted to html as expected.
3559
* Connection error reporting for the smart server has been fixed to
3560
display a user friendly message instead of a traceback.
3561
(Ian Clatworthy, #115601)
3563
* Make sure to use ``O_BINARY`` when opening files to check their
3564
sha1sum. (Alexander Belchenko, John Arbash Meinel, #153493)
3566
* Fix a problem with Win32 handling of the executable bit.
3567
(John Arbash Meinel, #149113)
3569
* ``bzr+ssh://`` and ``sftp://`` URLs that do not specify ports explicitly
3570
no longer assume that means port 22. This allows people using OpenSSH to
3571
override the default port in their ``~/.ssh/config`` if they wish. This
3572
fixes a bug introduced in bzr 0.91. (Andrew Bennetts, #146715)
3574
* Commands reporting exceptions can now be profiled and still have their
3575
data correctly dumped to a file. For example, a ``bzr commit`` with
3576
no changes still reports the operation as pointless but doing so no
3577
longer throws away the profiling data if this command is run with
3578
``--lsprof-file callgrind.out.ci`` say. (Ian Clatworthy)
3580
* Fallback to ftp when paramiko is not installed and sftp can't be used for
3581
``tests/commands`` so that the test suite is still usable without
3583
(Vincent Ladeuil, #59150)
3585
* Fix commit ordering in corner case. (Aaron Bentley, #94975)
3587
* Fix long standing bug in partial commit when there are renames
3588
left in tree. (Robert Collins, #140419)
3590
* Fix selftest semi-random noise during http related tests.
3591
(Vincent Ladeuil, #140614)
3593
* Fix typo in ftp.py making the reconnection fail on temporary errors.
3594
(Vincent Ladeuil, #154259)
3596
* Fix failing test by comparing real paths to cover the case where the TMPDIR
3597
contains a symbolic link.
3598
(Vincent Ladeuil, #141382).
3600
* Fix log against smart server branches that don't support tags.
3601
(James Westby, #140615)
3603
* Fix pycurl http implementation by defining error codes from
3604
pycurl instead of relying on an old curl definition.
3605
(Vincent Ladeuil, #147530)
3607
* Fix 'unprintable error' message when displaying BzrCheckError and
3608
some other exceptions on Python 2.5.
3609
(Martin Pool, #144633)
3611
* Fix ``Inventory.copy()`` and add test for it. (Jelmer Vernooij)
3613
* Handles default value for ListOption in cmd_commit.
3614
(Vincent Ladeuil, #140432)
3616
* HttpServer and FtpServer need to be closed properly or a listening socket
3618
(Vincent Ladeuil, #140055)
3620
* Monitor the .bzr directory created in the top level test
3621
directory to detect leaking tests.
3622
(Vincent Ladeuil, #147986)
3624
* The basename, not the full path, is now used when checking whether
3625
the profiling dump file begins with ``callgrind.out`` or not. This
3626
fixes a bug reported by Aaron Bentley on IRC. (Ian Clatworthy)
3628
* Trivial fix for invoking command ``reconfigure`` without arguments.
3631
* ``WorkingTree.rename_one`` will now raise an error if normalisation of the
3632
new path causes bzr to be unable to access the file. (Robert Collins)
3634
* Correctly detect a NoSuchFile when using a filezilla server. (Gary van der
3639
* ``bzrlib.index.GraphIndex`` now requires a size parameter to the
3640
constructor, for enabling bisection searches. (Robert Collins)
3642
* ``CommitBuilder.record_entry_contents`` now requires the root entry of a
3643
tree be supplied to it, previously failing to do so would trigger a
3644
deprecation warning. (Robert Collins)
3646
* ``KnitVersionedFile.add*`` will no longer cache added records even when
3647
enable_cache() has been called - the caching feature is now exclusively for
3648
reading existing data. (Robert Collins)
3650
* ``ReadOnlyLockError`` is deprecated; ``LockFailed`` is usually more
3651
appropriate. (Martin Pool)
3653
* Removed ``bzrlib.transport.TransportLogger`` - please see the new
3654
``trace+`` transport instead. (Robert Collins)
3656
* Removed previously deprecated varargs interface to ``TestCase.run_bzr`` and
3657
deprecated methods ``TestCase.capture`` and ``TestCase.run_bzr_captured``.
3660
* Removed previous deprecated ``basis_knit`` parameter to the
3661
``KnitVersionedFile`` constructor. (Robert Collins)
3663
* Special purpose method ``TestCase.run_bzr_decode`` is moved to the test_non_ascii
3664
class that needs it.
3667
* The class ``bzrlib.repofmt.knitrepo.KnitRepository3`` has been folded into
3668
``KnitRepository`` by parameters to the constructor. (Robert Collins)
3670
* The ``VersionedFile`` interface now allows content checks to be bypassed
3671
by supplying check_content=False. This saves nearly 30% of the minimum
3672
cost to store a version of a file. (Robert Collins)
3674
* Tree's with bad state such as files with no length or sha will no longer
3675
be silently accepted by the repository XML serialiser. To serialise
3676
inventories without such data, pass working=True to write_inventory.
3679
* ``VersionedFile.fix_parents`` has been removed as a harmful API.
3680
``VersionedFile.join`` will no longer accept different parents on either
3681
side of a join - it will either ignore them, or error, depending on the
3682
implementation. See notes when upgrading for more information.
3687
* ``bzrlib.transport.Transport.put_file`` now returns the number of bytes
3688
put by the method call, to allow avoiding stat-after-write or
3689
housekeeping in callers. (Robert Collins)
3691
* ``bzrlib.xml_serializer.Serializer`` is now responsible for checking that
3692
mandatory attributes are present on serialisation and deserialisation.
3693
This fixes some holes in API usage and allows better separation between
3694
physical storage and object serialisation. (Robert Collins)
3696
* New class ``bzrlib.errors.InternalBzrError`` which is just a convenient
3697
shorthand for deriving from BzrError and setting internal_error = True.
3700
* New method ``bzrlib.mutabletree.update_to_one_parent_via_delta`` for
3701
moving the state of a parent tree to a new version via a delta rather than
3702
a complete replacement tree. (Robert Collins)
3704
* New method ``bzrlib.osutils.minimum_path_selection`` useful for removing
3705
duplication from user input, when a user mentions both a path and an item
3706
contained within that path. (Robert Collins)
3708
* New method ``bzrlib.repository.Repository.is_write_locked`` useful for
3709
determining if a repository is write locked. (Robert Collins)
3711
* New method on ``bzrlib.tree.Tree`` ``path_content_summary`` provides a
3712
tuple containing the key information about a path for commit processing
3713
to complete. (Robert Collins)
3715
* New method on xml serialisers, write_inventory_to_lines, which matches the
3716
API used by knits for adding content. (Robert Collins)
3718
* New module ``bzrlib.bisect_multi`` with generic multiple-bisection-at-once
3719
logic, currently only available for byte-based lookup
3720
(``bisect_multi_bytes``). (Robert Collins)
3722
* New helper ``bzrlib.tuned_gzip.bytes_to_gzip`` which takes a byte string
3723
and returns a gzipped version of the same. This is used to avoid a bunch
3724
of api friction during adding of knit hunks. (Robert Collins)
3726
* New parameter on ``bzrlib.transport.Transport.readv``
3727
``adjust_for_latency`` which changes readv from returning strictly the
3728
requested data to inserted return larger ranges and in forward read order
3729
to reduce the effect of network latency. (Robert Collins)
3731
* New parameter yield_parents on ``Inventory.iter_entries_by_dir`` which
3732
causes the parents of a selected id to be returned recursively, so all the
3733
paths from the root down to each element of selected_file_ids are
3734
returned. (Robert Collins)
3736
* Knit joining has been enhanced to support plain to annotated conversion
3737
and annotated to plain conversion. (Ian Clatworthy)
3739
* The CommitBuilder method ``record_entry_contents`` now returns summary
3740
information about the effect of the commit on the repository. This tuple
3741
contains an inventory delta item if the entry changed from the basis, and a
3742
boolean indicating whether a new file graph node was recorded.
3745
* The python path used in the Makefile can now be overridden.
3746
(Andrew Bennetts, Ian Clatworthy)
3750
* New transport implementation ``trace+`` which is useful for testing,
3751
logging activity taken to its _activity attribute. (Robert Collins)
3753
* When running bzr commands within the test suite, internal exceptions are
3754
not caught and reported in the usual way, but rather allowed to propagate
3755
up and be visible to the test suite. A new API ``run_bzr_catch_user_errors``
3756
makes this behavior available to other users.
3759
* New method ``TestCase.call_catch_warnings`` for testing methods that
3760
raises a Python warning. (Martin Pool)
3768
* Print a warning instead of aborting the ``python setup.py install``
3769
process if building of a C extension is not possible.
3770
(Lukáš Lalinský, Alexander Belchenko)
3772
* Fix commit ordering in corner case (Aaron Bentley, #94975)
3774
* Fix ''bzr info bzr://host/'' and other operations on ''bzr://' URLs with
3775
an implicit port. We were incorrectly raising PathNotChild due to
3776
inconsistent treatment of the ''_port'' attribute on the Transport object.
3777
(Andrew Bennetts, #133965)
3779
* Make RemoteRepository.sprout cope gracefully with servers that don't
3780
support the ``Repository.tarball`` request.
3784
bzr 0.91rc2 2007-09-11
3785
----------------------
3787
* Replaced incorrect tarball for previous release; a debug statement was left
3788
in bzrlib/remote.py.
3791
bzr 0.91rc1 2007-09-11
3792
----------------------
3796
* The default branch and repository format has changed to
3797
``dirstate-tags``, so tag commands are active by default.
3798
This format is compatible with Bazaar 0.15 and later.
3799
This incidentally fixes bug #126141.
3802
* ``--quiet`` or ``-q`` is no longer a global option. If present, it
3803
must now appear after the command name. Scripts doing things like
3804
``bzr -q missing`` need to be rewritten as ``bzr missing -q``.
3809
* New option ``--author`` in ``bzr commit`` to specify the author of the
3810
change, if it's different from the committer. ``bzr log`` and
3811
``bzr annotate`` display the author instead of the committer.
3814
* In addition to global options and command specific options, a set of
3815
standard options are now supported. Standard options are legal for
3816
all commands. The initial set of standard options are:
3818
* ``--help`` or ``-h`` - display help message
3819
* ``--verbose`` or ``-v`` - display additional information
3820
* ``--quiet`` or ``-q`` - only output warnings and errors.
3822
Unlike global options, standard options can be used in aliases and
3823
may have command-specific help. (Ian Clatworthy)
3825
* Verbosity level processing has now been unified. If ``--verbose``
3826
or ``-v`` is specified on the command line multiple times, the
3827
verbosity level is made positive the first time then increased.
3828
If ``--quiet`` or ``-q`` is specified on the command line
3829
multiple times, the verbosity level is made negative the first
3830
time then decreased. To get the default verbosity level of zero,
3831
either specify none of the above , ``--no-verbose`` or ``--no-quiet``.
3832
Note that most commands currently ignore the magnitude of the
3833
verbosity level but do respect *quiet vs normal vs verbose* when
3834
generating output. (Ian Clatworthy)
3836
* ``Branch.hooks`` now supports ``pre_commit`` hook. The hook's signature
3837
is documented in BranchHooks constructor. (Nam T. Nguyen, #102747)
3839
* New ``Repository.stream_knit_data_for_revisions`` request added to the
3840
network protocol for greatly reduced roundtrips when retrieving a set of
3841
revisions. (Andrew Bennetts)
3845
* ``bzr plugins`` now lists the version number for each plugin in square
3846
brackets after the path. (Robert Collins, #125421)
3848
* Pushing, pulling and branching branches with subtree references was not
3849
copying the subtree weave, preventing the file graph from being accessed
3850
and causing errors in commits in clones. (Robert Collins)
3852
* Suppress warning "integer argument expected, got float" from Paramiko,
3853
which sometimes caused false test failures. (Martin Pool)
3855
* Fix bug in bundle 4 that could cause attempts to write data to wrong
3856
versionedfile. (Aaron Bentley)
3858
* Diffs generated using "diff -p" no longer break the patch parser.
3861
* get_transport treats an empty possible_transports list the same as a non-
3862
empty one. (Aaron Bentley)
3864
* patch verification for merge directives is reactivated, and works with
3865
CRLF and CR files. (Aaron Bentley)
3867
* Accept ..\ as a path in revision specifiers. This fixes for example
3868
"-r branch:..\other-branch" on Windows. (Lukáš Lalinský)
3870
* ``BZR_PLUGIN_PATH`` may now contain trailing slashes.
3871
(Blake Winton, #129299)
3873
* man page no longer lists hidden options (#131667, Aaron Bentley)
3875
* ``uncommit --help`` now explains the -r option adequately. (Daniel
3878
* Error messages are now better formatted with parameters (such as
3879
filenames) quoted when necessary. This avoids confusion when directory
3880
names ending in a '.' at the end of messages were confused with a
3881
full stop that may or not have been there. (Daniel Watkins, #129791)
3883
* Fix ``status FILE -r X..Y``. (Lukáš Lalinský)
3885
* If a particular command is an alias, ``help`` will show the alias
3886
instead of claiming there is no help for said alias. (Daniel Watkins,
3889
* TreeTransform-based operations, like pull, merge, revert, and branch,
3890
now roll back if they encounter an error. (Aaron Bentley, #67699)
3892
* ``bzr commit`` now exits cleanly if a character unsupported by the
3893
current encoding is used in the commit message. (Daniel Watkins,
3896
* bzr send uses default values for ranges when only half of an elipsis
3897
is specified ("-r..5" or "-r5.."). (#61685, Aaron Bentley)
3899
* Avoid trouble when Windows ssh calls itself 'plink' but no plink
3900
binary is present. (Martin Albisetti, #107155)
3902
* ``bzr remove`` should remove clean subtrees. Now it will remove (without
3903
needing ``--force``) subtrees that contain no files with text changes or
3904
modified files. With ``--force`` it removes the subtree regardless of
3905
text changes or unknown files. Directories with renames in or out (but
3906
not changed otherwise) will now be removed without needing ``--force``.
3907
Unknown ignored files will be deleted without needing ``--force``.
3908
(Marius Kruger, #111665)
3910
* When two plugins conflict, the source of both the losing and now the
3911
winning definition is shown. (Konstantin Mikhaylov, #5454)
3913
* When committing to a branch, the location being committed to is
3914
displayed. (Daniel Watkins, #52479)
3916
* ``bzr --version`` takes care about encoding of stdout, especially
3917
when output is redirected. (Alexander Belchenko, #131100)
3919
* Prompt for an ftp password if none is provided.
3920
(Vincent Ladeuil, #137044)
3922
* Reuse bound branch associated transport to avoid multiple
3924
(Vincent Ladeuil, #128076, #131396)
3926
* Overwrite conflicting tags by ``push`` and ``pull`` if the
3927
``--overwrite`` option is specified. (Lukáš Lalinský, #93947)
3929
* In checkouts, tags are copied into the master branch when created,
3930
changed or deleted, and are copied into the checkout when it is
3931
updated. (Martin Pool, #93856, #93860)
3933
* Print a warning instead of aborting the ``python setup.py install``
3934
process if building of a C extension is not possible.
3935
(Lukáš Lalinský, Alexander Belchenko)
3939
* Add the option "--show-diff" to the commit command in order to display
3940
the diff during the commit log creation. (Goffredo Baroncelli)
3942
* ``pull`` and ``merge`` are much faster at installing bundle format 4.
3945
* ``pull -v`` no longer includes deltas, making it much faster.
3948
* ``send`` now sends the directive as an attachment by default.
3949
(Aaron Bentley, Lukáš Lalinský, Alexander Belchenko)
3951
* Documentation updates (Martin Albisetti)
3953
* Help on debug flags is now included in ``help global-options``.
3954
(Daniel Watkins, #124853)
3956
* Parameters passed on the command line are checked to ensure they are
3957
supported by the encoding in use. (Daniel Watkins)
3959
* The compression used within the bzr repository has changed from zlib
3960
level 9 to the zlib default level. This improves commit performance with
3961
only a small increase in space used (and in some cases a reduction in
3962
space). (Robert Collins)
3964
* Initial commit no longer SHAs files twice and now reuses the path
3965
rather than looking it up again, making it faster.
3968
* New option ``-c``/``--change`` for ``diff`` and ``status`` to show
3969
changes in one revision. (Lukáš Lalinský)
3971
* If versioned files match a given ignore pattern, a warning is now
3972
given. (Daniel Watkins, #48623)
3974
* ``bzr status`` now has -S as a short name for --short and -V as a
3975
short name for --versioned. These have been added to assist users
3976
migrating from Subversion: ``bzr status -SV`` is now like
3977
``svn status -q``. (Daniel Watkins, #115990)
3979
* Added C implementation of ``PatienceSequenceMatcher``, which is about
3980
10x faster than the Python version. This speeds up commands that
3981
need file diffing, such as ``bzr commit`` or ``bzr diff``.
3984
* HACKING has been extended with a large section on core developer tasks.
3987
* Add ``branches`` and ``standalone-trees`` as online help topics and
3988
include them as Concepts within the User Reference.
3989
(Paul Moore, Ian Clatworthy)
3991
* ``check`` can detect versionedfile parent references that are
3992
inconsistent with revision and inventory info, and ``reconcile`` can fix
3993
them. These faulty references were generated by 0.8-era releases,
3994
so repositories which were manipulated by old bzrs should be
3995
checked, and possibly reconciled ASAP. (Aaron Bentley, Andrew Bennetts)
3999
* ``Branch.append_revision`` is removed altogether; please use
4000
``Branch.set_last_revision_info`` instead. (Martin Pool)
4002
* CommitBuilder now advertises itself as requiring the root entry to be
4003
supplied. This only affects foreign repository implementations which reuse
4004
CommitBuilder directly and have changed record_entry_contents to require
4005
that the root not be supplied. This should be precisely zero plugins
4006
affected. (Robert Collins)
4008
* The ``add_lines`` methods on ``VersionedFile`` implementations has changed
4009
its return value to include the sha1 and length of the inserted text. This
4010
allows the avoidance of double-sha1 calculations during commit.
4013
* ``Transport.should_cache`` has been removed. It was not called in the
4014
previous release. (Martin Pool)
4018
* Tests may now raise TestNotApplicable to indicate they shouldn't be
4019
run in a particular scenario. (Martin Pool)
4021
* New function multiply_tests_from_modules to give a simpler interface
4022
to test parameterization. (Martin Pool, Robert Collins)
4024
* ``Transport.should_cache`` has been removed. It was not called in the
4025
previous release. (Martin Pool)
4027
* NULL_REVISION is returned to indicate the null revision, not None.
4030
* Use UTF-8 encoded StringIO for log tests to avoid failures on
4031
non-ASCII committer names. (Lukáš Lalinský)
4035
* ``bzrlib.plugin.all_plugins`` has been deprecated in favour of
4036
``bzrlib.plugin.plugins()`` which returns PlugIn objects that provide
4037
useful functionality for determining the path of a plugin, its tests, and
4038
its version information. (Robert Collins)
4040
* Add the option user_encoding to the function 'show_diff_trees()'
4041
in order to move the user encoding at the UI level. (Goffredo Baroncelli)
4043
* Add the function make_commit_message_template_encoded() and the function
4044
edit_commit_message_encoded() which handle encoded strings.
4045
This is done in order to mix the commit messages (which is a unicode
4046
string), and the diff which is a raw string. (Goffredo Baroncelli)
4048
* CommitBuilder now defaults to using add_lines_with_ghosts, reducing
4049
overhead on non-weave repositories which don't require all parents to be
4050
present. (Robert Collins)
4052
* Deprecated method ``find_previous_heads`` on
4053
``bzrlib.inventory.InventoryEntry``. This has been superseded by the use
4054
of ``parent_candidates`` and a separate heads check via the repository
4055
API. (Robert Collins)
4057
* New trace function ``mutter_callsite`` will print out a subset of the
4058
stack to the log, which can be useful for gathering debug details.
4061
* ``bzrlib.pack.ContainerWriter`` now tracks how many records have been
4062
added via a public attribute records_written. (Robert Collins)
4064
* New method ``bzrlib.transport.Transport.get_recommended_page_size``.
4065
This provides a hint to users of transports as to the reasonable
4066
minimum data to read. In principle this can take latency and
4067
bandwidth into account on a per-connection basis, but for now it
4068
just has hard coded values based on the url. (e.g. http:// has a large
4069
page size, file:// has a small one.) (Robert Collins)
4071
* New method on ``bzrlib.transport.Transport`` ``open_write_stream`` allows
4072
incremental addition of data to a file without requiring that all the
4073
data be buffered in memory. (Robert Collins)
4075
* New methods on ``bzrlib.knit.KnitVersionedFile``:
4076
``get_data_stream(versions)``, ``insert_data_stream(stream)`` and
4077
``get_format_signature()``. These provide some infrastructure for
4078
efficiently streaming the knit data for a set of versions over the smart
4081
* Knits with no annotation cache still produce correct annotations.
4084
* Three new methods have been added to ``bzrlib.trace``:
4085
``set_verbosity_level``, ``get_verbosity_level`` and ``is_verbose``.
4086
``set_verbosity_level`` expects a numeric value: negative for quiet,
4087
zero for normal, positive for verbose. The size of the number can be
4088
used to determine just how quiet or verbose the application should be.
4089
The existing ``be_quiet`` and ``is_quiet`` routines have been
4090
integrated into this new scheme. (Ian Clatworthy)
4092
* Options can now be delcared with a ``custom_callback`` parameter. If
4093
set, this routine is called after the option is processed. This feature
4094
is now used by the standard options ``verbose`` and ``quiet`` so that
4095
setting one implicitly resets the other. (Ian Clatworthy)
4097
* Rather than declaring a new option from scratch in order to provide
4098
custom help, a centrally registered option can be decorated using the
4099
new ``bzrlib.Option.custom_help`` routine. In particular, this routine
4100
is useful when declaring better help for the ``verbose`` and ``quiet``
4101
standard options as the base definition of these is now more complex
4102
than before thanks to their use of a custom callback. (Ian Clatworthy)
4104
* Tree._iter_changes(specific_file=[]) now iterates through no files,
4105
instead of iterating through all files. None is used to iterate through
4106
all files. (Aaron Bentley)
4108
* WorkingTree.revert() now accepts None to revert all files. The use of
4109
[] to revert all files is deprecated. (Aaron Bentley)
4117
* Documentation is now organized into multiple directories with a level
4118
added for different languages or locales. Added the Mini Tutorial
4119
and Quick Start Summary (en) documents from the Wiki, improving the
4120
content and readability of the former. Formatted NEWS as Release Notes
4121
complete with a Table of Conents, one heading per release. Moved the
4122
Developer Guide into the main document catalog and provided a link
4123
from the developer document catalog back to the main one.
4124
(Ian Clatworthy, Sabin Iacob, Alexander Belchenko)
4129
* The static convenience method ``BzrDir.create_repository``
4130
is deprecated. Callers should instead create a ``BzrDir`` instance
4131
and call ``create_repository`` on that. (Martin Pool)
4134
bzr 0.90rc1 2007-08-14
4135
----------------------
4139
* ``bzr init`` should connect to the remote location one time only. We
4140
have been connecting several times because we forget to pass around the
4141
Transport object. This modifies ``BzrDir.create_branch_convenience``,
4142
so that we can give it the Transport we already have.
4143
(John Arbash Meinel, Vincent Ladeuil, #111702)
4145
* Get rid of sftp connection cache (get rid of the FTP one too).
4146
(Vincent Ladeuil, #43731)
4148
* bzr branch {local|remote} remote don't try to create a working tree
4150
(Vincent Ladeuil, #112173)
4152
* All identified multiple connections for a single bzr command have been
4153
fixed. See bzrlib/tests/commands directory.
4156
* ``bzr rm`` now does not insist on ``--force`` to delete files that
4157
have been renamed but not otherwise modified. (Marius Kruger,
4160
* ``bzr selftest --bench`` no longer emits deprecation warnings
4163
* ``bzr status`` now honours FILE parameters for conflict lists
4164
(Aaron Bentley, #127606)
4166
* ``bzr checkout`` now honours -r when reconstituting a working tree.
4167
It also honours -r 0. (Aaron Bentley, #127708)
4169
* ``bzr add *`` no more fails on Windows if working tree contains
4170
non-ascii file names. (Kuno Meyer, #127361)
4172
* allow ``easy_install bzr`` runs without fatal errors.
4173
(Alexander Belchenko, #125521)
4175
* Graph._filter_candidate_lca does not raise KeyError if a candidate
4176
is eliminated just before it would normally be examined. (Aaron Bentley)
4178
* SMTP connection failures produce a nice message, not a traceback.
4183
* Don't show "dots" progress indicators when run non-interactively, such
4184
as from cron. (Martin Pool)
4186
* ``info`` now formats locations more nicely and lists "submit" and
4187
"public" branches (Aaron Bentley)
4189
* New ``pack`` command that will trigger database compression within
4190
the repository (Robert Collins)
4192
* Implement ``_KnitIndex._load_data`` in a pyrex extension. The pyrex
4193
version is approximately 2-3x faster at parsing a ``.kndx`` file.
4194
Which yields a measurable improvement for commands which have to
4195
read from the repository, such as a 1s => 0.75s improvement in
4196
``bzr diff`` when there are changes to be shown. (John Arbash Meinel)
4198
* Merge is now faster. Depending on the scenario, it can be more than 2x
4199
faster. (Aaron Bentley)
4201
* Give a clearer warning, and allow ``python setup.py install`` to
4202
succeed even if pyrex is not available.
4203
(John Arbash Meinel)
4205
* ``DirState._read_dirblocks`` now has an optional Pyrex
4206
implementation. This improves the speed of any command that has to
4207
read the entire DirState. (``diff``, ``status``, etc, improve by
4209
``bisect_dirblocks`` has also been improved, which helps all
4210
``_get_entry`` type calls (whenever we are searching for a
4211
particular entry in the in-memory DirState).
4212
(John Arbash Meinel)
4214
* ``bzr pull`` and ``bzr push`` no longer do a complete walk of the
4215
branch revision history for ui display unless -v is supplied.
4218
* ``bzr log -rA..B`` output shifted to the left margin if the log only
4219
contains merge revisions. (Kent Gibson)
4221
* The ``plugins`` command is now public with improved help.
4224
* New bundle and merge directive formats are faster to generate, and
4226
* Annotate merge now works when there are local changes. (Aaron Bentley)
4228
* Commit now only shows the progress in terms of directories instead of
4229
entries. (Ian Clatworthy)
4231
* Fix ``KnitRepository.get_revision_graph`` to not request the graph 2
4232
times. This makes ``get_revision_graph`` 2x faster. (John Arbash
4235
* Fix ``VersionedFile.get_graph()`` to avoid using
4236
``set.difference_update(other)``, which has bad scaling when
4237
``other`` is large. This improves ``VF.get_graph([version_id])`` for
4238
a 12.5k graph from 2.9s down to 200ms. (John Arbash Meinel)
4240
* The ``--lsprof-file`` option now generates output for KCacheGrind if
4241
the file starts with ``callgrind.out``. This matches the default file
4242
filtering done by KCacheGrind's Open Dialog. (Ian Clatworthy)
4244
* Fix ``bzr update`` to avoid an unnecessary
4245
``branch.get_master_branch`` call, which avoids 1 extra connection
4246
to the remote server. (Partial fix for #128076, John Arbash Meinel)
4248
* Log errors from the smart server in the trace file, to make debugging
4249
test failures (and live failures!) easier. (Andrew Bennetts)
4251
* The HTML version of the man page has been superceded by a more
4252
comprehensive manual called the Bazaar User Reference. This manual
4253
is completed generated from the online help topics. As part of this
4254
change, limited reStructuredText is now explicitly supported in help
4255
topics and command help with 'unnatural' markup being removed prior
4256
to display by the online help or inclusion in the man page.
4259
* HTML documentation now use files extension ``*.html``
4260
(Alexander Belchenko)
4262
* The cache of ignore definitions is now cleared in WorkingTree.unlock()
4263
so that changes to .bzrignore aren't missed. (#129694, Daniel Watkins)
4265
* ``bzr selftest --strict`` fails if there are any missing features or
4266
expected test failures. (Daniel Watkins, #111914)
4268
* Link to registration survey added to README. (Ian Clatworthy)
4270
* Windows standalone installer show link to registration survey
4271
when installation finished. (Alexander Belchenko)
4275
* Deprecated dictionary ``bzrlib.option.SHORT_OPTIONS`` removed.
4276
Options are now required to provide a help string and it must
4277
comply with the style guide by being one or more sentences with an
4278
initial capital and final period. (Martin Pool)
4280
* KnitIndex.get_parents now returns tuples. (Robert Collins)
4282
* Ancient unused ``Repository.text_store`` attribute has been removed.
4285
* The ``bzrlib.pack`` interface has changed to use tuples of bytestrings
4286
rather than just bytestrings, making it easier to represent multiple
4287
element names. As this interface was not used by any internal facilities
4288
since it was introduced in 0.18 no API compatibility is being preserved.
4289
The serialised form of these packs is identical with 0.18 when a single
4290
element tuple is in use. (Robert Collins)
4294
* merge now uses ``iter_changes`` to calculate changes, which makes room for
4295
future performance increases. It is also more consistent with other
4296
operations that perform comparisons, and reduces reliance on
4297
Tree.inventory. (Aaron Bentley)
4299
* Refactoring of transport classes connected to a remote server.
4300
ConnectedTransport is a new class that serves as a basis for all
4301
transports needing to connect to a remote server. transport.split_url
4302
have been deprecated, use the static method on the object instead. URL
4303
tests have been refactored too.
4306
* Better connection sharing for ConnectedTransport objects.
4307
transport.get_transport() now accepts a 'possible_transports' parameter.
4308
If a newly requested transport can share a connection with one of the
4312
* Most functions now accept ``bzrlib.revision.NULL_REVISION`` to indicate
4313
the null revision, and consider using ``None`` for this purpose
4314
deprecated. (Aaron Bentley)
4316
* New ``index`` module with abstract index functionality. This will be
4317
used during the planned changes in the repository layer. Currently the
4318
index layer provides a graph aware immutable index, a builder for the
4319
same index type to allow creating them, and finally a composer for
4320
such indices to allow the use of many indices in a single query. The
4321
index performance is not optimised, however the API is stable to allow
4322
development on top of the index. (Robert Collins)
4324
* ``bzrlib.dirstate.cmp_by_dirs`` can be used to compare two paths by
4325
their directory sections. This is equivalent to comparing
4326
``path.split('/')``, only without having to split the paths.
4327
This has a Pyrex implementation available.
4328
(John Arbash Meinel)
4330
* New transport decorator 'unlistable+' which disables the list_dir
4331
functionality for testing.
4333
* Deprecated ``change_entry`` in transform.py. (Ian Clatworthy)
4335
* RevisionTree.get_weave is now deprecated. Tree.plan_merge is now used
4336
for performing annotate-merge. (Aaron Bentley)
4338
* New EmailMessage class to create email messages. (Adeodato Simó)
4340
* Unused functions on the private interface KnitIndex have been removed.
4343
* New ``knit.KnitGraphIndex`` which provides a ``KnitIndex`` layered on top
4344
of a ``index.GraphIndex``. (Robert Collins)
4346
* New ``knit.KnitVersionedFile.iter_parents`` method that allows querying
4347
the parents of many knit nodes at once, reducing round trips to the
4348
underlying index. (Robert Collins)
4350
* Graph now has an is_ancestor method, various bits use it.
4353
* The ``-Dhpss`` flag now includes timing information. As well as
4354
logging when a new connection is opened. (John Arbash Meinel)
4356
* ``bzrlib.pack.ContainerWriter`` now returns an offset, length tuple to
4357
callers when inserting data, allowing generation of readv style access
4358
during pack creation, without needing a separate pass across the output
4359
pack to gather such details. (Robert Collins)
4361
* ``bzrlib.pack.make_readv_reader`` allows readv based access to pack
4362
files that are stored on a transport. (Robert Collins)
4364
* New ``Repository.has_same_location`` method that reports if two
4365
repository objects refer to the same repository (although with some risk
4366
of false negatives). (Andrew Bennetts)
4368
* InterTree.compare now passes require_versioned on correctly.
4371
* New methods on Repository - ``start_write_group``,
4372
``commit_write_group``, ``abort_write_group`` and ``is_in_write_group`` -
4373
which provide a clean hook point for transactional Repositories - ones
4374
where all the data for a fetch or commit needs to be made atomically
4375
available in one step. This allows the write lock to remain while making
4376
a series of data insertions. (e.g. data conversion). (Robert Collins)
4378
* In ``bzrlib.knit`` the internal interface has been altered to use
4379
3-tuples (index, pos, length) rather than two-tuples (pos, length) to
4380
describe where data in a knit is, allowing knits to be split into
4381
many files. (Robert Collins)
4383
* ``bzrlib.knit._KnitData`` split into cache management and physical access
4384
with two access classes - ``_PackAccess`` and ``_KnitAccess`` defined.
4385
The former provides access into a .pack file, and the latter provides the
4386
current production repository form of .knit files. (Robert Collins)
4390
* Remove selftest ``--clean-output``, ``--numbered-dirs`` and
4391
``--keep-output`` options, which are obsolete now that tests
4392
are done within directories in $TMPDIR. (Martin Pool)
4394
* The SSH_AUTH_SOCK environment variable is now reset to avoid
4395
interaction with any running ssh agents. (Jelmer Vernooij, #125955)
4397
* run_bzr_subprocess handles parameters the same way as run_bzr:
4398
either a string or a list of strings should be passed as the first
4399
parameter. Varargs-style parameters are deprecated. (Aaron Bentley)
4403
--------------------
4407
* Fix 'bzr add' crash under Win32 (Kuno Meyer)
4410
bzr 0.18rc1 2007-07-10
4411
-----------------------
4415
* Do not suppress pipe errors, etc. in non-display commands
4416
(Alexander Belchenko, #87178)
4418
* Display a useful error message when the user requests to annotate
4419
a file that is not present in the specified revision.
4420
(James Westby, #122656)
4422
* Commands that use status flags now have a reference to 'help
4423
status-flags'. (Daniel Watkins, #113436)
4425
* Work around python-2.4.1 inhability to correctly parse the
4426
authentication header.
4427
(Vincent Ladeuil, #121889)
4429
* Use exact encoding for merge directives. (Adeodato Simó, #120591)
4431
* Fix tempfile permissions error in smart server tar bundling under
4432
Windows. (Martin _, #119330)
4434
* Fix detection of directory entries in the inventory. (James Westby)
4436
* Fix handling of http code 400: Bad Request When issuing too many ranges.
4437
(Vincent Ladeuil, #115209)
4439
* Issue a CONNECT request when connecting to an https server
4440
via a proxy to enable SSL tunneling.
4441
(Vincent Ladeuil, #120678)
4443
* Fix ``bzr log -r`` to support selecting merge revisions, both
4444
individually and as part of revision ranges.
4445
(Kent Gibson, #4663)
4447
* Don't leave cruft behind when failing to acquire a lockdir.
4448
(Martin Pool, #109169)
4450
* Don't use the '-f' strace option during tests.
4451
(Vincent Ladeuil, #102019).
4453
* Warn when setting ``push_location`` to a value that will be masked by
4454
locations.conf. (Aaron Bentley, #122286)
4456
* Fix commit ordering in corner case (Aaron Bentley, #94975)
4458
* Make annotate behave in a non-ASCII world (Adeodato Simó).
4462
* The --lsprof-file option now dumps a text rendering of the profiling
4463
information if the filename ends in ".txt". It will also convert the
4464
profiling information to a format suitable for KCacheGrind if the
4465
output filename ends in ".callgrind". Fixes to the lsprofcalltree
4466
conversion process by Jean Paul Calderone and Itamar were also merged.
4467
See http://ddaa.net/blog/python/lsprof-calltree. (Ian Clatworthy)
4469
* ``info`` now defaults to non-verbose mode, displaying only paths and
4470
abbreviated format info. ``info -v`` displays all the information
4471
formerly displayed by ``info``. (Aaron Bentley, Adeodato Simó)
4473
* ``bzr missing`` now has better option names ``--this`` and ``--other``.
4476
* The internal ``weave-list`` command has become ``versionedfile-list``,
4477
and now lists knits as well as weaves. (Aaron Bentley)
4479
* Automatic merge base selection uses a faster algorithm that chooses
4480
better bases in criss-cross merge situations (Aaron Bentley)
4482
* Progress reporting in ``commit`` has been improved. The various logical
4483
stages are now reported on as follows, namely:
4485
* Collecting changes [Entry x/y] - Stage n/m
4486
* Saving data locally - Stage n/m
4487
* Uploading data to master branch - Stage n/m
4488
* Updating the working tree - Stage n/m
4489
* Running post commit hooks - Stage n/m
4491
If there is no master branch, the 3rd stage is omitted and the total
4492
number of stages is adjusted accordingly.
4494
Each hook that is run after commit is listed with a name (as hooks
4495
can be slow it is useful feedback).
4496
(Ian Clatworthy, Robert Collins)
4498
* Various operations that are now faster due to avoiding unnecessary
4499
topological sorts. (Aaron Bentley)
4501
* Make merge directives robust against broken bundles. (Aaron Bentley)
4503
* The lsprof filename note is emitted via trace.note(), not standard
4504
output. (Aaron Bentley)
4506
* ``bzrlib`` now exports explicit API compatibility information to assist
4507
library users and plugins. See the ``bzrlib.api`` module for details.
4510
* Remove unnecessary lock probes when acquiring a lockdir.
4513
* ``bzr --version`` now shows the location of the bzr log file, which
4514
is especially useful on Windows. (Martin Pool)
4516
* -D now supports hooks to get debug tracing of hooks (though its currently
4517
minimal in nature). (Robert Collins)
4519
* Long log format reports deltas on merge revisions.
4520
(John Arbash Meinel, Kent Gibson)
4522
* Make initial push over ftp more resilient. (John Arbash Meinel)
4524
* Print a summary of changes for update just like pull does.
4525
(Daniel Watkins, #113990)
4527
* Add a -Dhpss option to trace smart protocol requests and responses.
4532
* Testing cleanups -
4533
``bzrlib.repository.RepositoryTestProviderAdapter`` has been moved
4534
to ``bzrlib.tests.repository_implementations``;
4535
``bzrlib.repository.InterRepositoryTestProviderAdapter`` has been moved
4536
to ``bzrlib.tests.interrepository_implementations``;
4537
``bzrlib.transport.TransportTestProviderAdapter`` has moved to
4538
``bzrlib.tests.test_transport_implementations``.
4539
``bzrlib.branch.BranchTestProviderAdapter`` has moved to
4540
``bzrlib.tests.branch_implementations``.
4541
``bzrlib.bzrdir.BzrDirTestProviderAdapter`` has moved to
4542
``bzrlib.tests.bzrdir_implementations``.
4543
``bzrlib.versionedfile.InterVersionedFileTestProviderAdapter`` has moved
4544
to ``bzrlib.tests.interversionedfile_implementations``.
4545
``bzrlib.store.revision.RevisionStoreTestProviderAdapter`` has moved to
4546
``bzrlib.tests.revisionstore_implementations``.
4547
``bzrlib.workingtree.WorkingTreeTestProviderAdapter`` has moved to
4548
``bzrlib.tests.workingtree_implementations``.
4549
These changes are an API break in the testing infrastructure only.
4552
* Relocate TestCaseWithRepository to be more central. (Robert Collins)
4554
* ``bzrlib.add.smart_add_tree`` will no longer perform glob expansion on
4555
win32. Callers of the function should do this and use the new
4556
``MutableTree.smart_add`` method instead. (Robert Collins)
4558
* ``bzrlib.add.glob_expand_for_win32`` is now
4559
``bzrlib.win32utils.glob_expand``. (Robert Collins)
4561
* ``bzrlib.add.FastPath`` is now private and moved to
4562
``bzrlib.mutabletree._FastPath``. (Robert Collins, Martin Pool)
4564
* ``LockDir.wait`` removed. (Martin Pool)
4566
* The ``SmartServer`` hooks API has changed for the ``server_started`` and
4567
``server_stopped`` hooks. The first parameter is now an iterable of
4568
backing URLs rather than a single URL. This is to reflect that many
4569
URLs may map to the external URL of the server. E.g. the server interally
4570
may have a chrooted URL but also the local file:// URL will be at the
4571
same location. (Robert Collins)
4575
* New SMTPConnection class to unify email handling. (Adeodato Simó)
4577
* Fix documentation of BzrError. (Adeodato Simó)
4579
* Make BzrBadParameter an internal error. (Adeodato Simó)
4581
* Remove use of 'assert False' to raise an exception unconditionally.
4584
* Give a cleaner error when failing to decode knit index entry.
4587
* TreeConfig would mistakenly search the top level when asked for options
4588
from a section. It now respects the section argument and only
4589
searches the specified section. (James Westby)
4591
* Improve ``make api-docs`` output. (John Arbash Meinel)
4593
* Use os.lstat rather than os.stat for osutils.make_readonly and
4594
osutils.make_writeable. This makes the difftools plugin more
4595
robust when dangling symlinks are found. (Elliot Murphy)
4597
* New ``-Dlock`` option to log (to ~/.bzr.log) information on when
4598
lockdirs are taken or released. (Martin Pool)
4600
* ``bzrlib`` Hooks are now nameable using ``Hooks.name_hook``. This
4601
allows a nicer UI when hooks are running as the current hook can
4602
be displayed. (Robert Collins)
4604
* ``Transport.get`` has had its interface made more clear for ease of use.
4605
Retrieval of a directory must now fail with either 'PathError' at open
4606
time, or raise 'ReadError' on a read. (Robert Collins)
4608
* New method ``_maybe_expand_globs`` on the ``Command`` class for
4609
dealing with unexpanded glob lists - e.g. on the win32 platform. This
4610
was moved from ``bzrlib.add._prepare_file_list``. (Robert Collins)
4612
* ``bzrlib.add.smart_add`` and ``bzrlib.add.smart_add_tree`` are now
4613
deprecated in favour of ``MutableTree.smart_add``. (Robert Collins,
4616
* New method ``external_url`` on Transport for obtaining the url to
4617
hand to external processes. (Robert Collins)
4619
* Teach windows installers to build pyrex/C extensions.
4620
(Alexander Belchenko)
4624
* Removed the ``--keep-output`` option from selftest and clean up test
4625
directories as they're used. This reduces the IO load from
4626
running the test suite and cuts the time by about half.
4627
(Andrew Bennetts, Martin Pool)
4629
* Add scenarios as a public attribute on the TestAdapter classes to allow
4630
modification of the generated scenarios before adaption and easier
4631
testing. (Robert Collins)
4633
* New testing support class ``TestScenarioApplier`` which multiplies
4634
out a single teste by a list of supplied scenarios. (RobertCollins)
4636
* Setting ``repository_to_test_repository`` on a repository_implementations
4637
test will cause it to be called during repository creation, allowing the
4638
testing of repository classes which are not based around the Format
4639
concept. For example a repository adapter can be tested in this manner,
4640
by altering the repository scenarios to include a scenario that sets this
4641
attribute during the test parameterisation in
4642
``bzrlib.tests.repository.repository_implementations``. (Robert Collins)
4644
* Clean up many of the APIs for blackbox testing of Bazaar. The standard
4645
interface is now self.run_bzr. The command to run can be passed as
4646
either a list of parameters, a string containing the command line, or
4647
(deprecated) varargs parameters. (Martin Pool)
4649
* The base TestCase now isolates tests from -D parameters by clearing
4650
``debug.debug_flags`` and restores it afterwards. (Robert Collins)
4652
* Add a relpath parameter to get_transport methods in test framework to
4653
avoid useless cloning.
4654
(Vincent Ladeuil, #110448)
4658
--------------------
4662
* Fix crash of commit due to wrong lookup of filesystem encoding.
4663
(Colin Watson, #120647)
4665
* Revert logging just to stderr in commit as broke unicode filenames.
4666

bzr 0.17rc1 2007-06-12
4670
-----------------------
4672
NOTES WHEN UPGRADING:
4674
* The kind() and is_executable() APIs on the WorkingTree interface no
4675
longer implicitly (read) locks and unlocks the tree. This *might*
4676
impact some plug-ins and tools using this part of the API. If you find
4677
an issue that may be caused by this change, please let us know,
4678
particularly the plug-in/tool maintainer. If encountered, the API
4679
fix is to surround kind() and is_executable() calls with lock_read()
4680
and unlock() like so::
4682
work_tree.lock_read()
4684
kind = work_tree.kind(...)
4689
* Rework of LogFormatter API to provide beginning/end of log hooks and to
4690
encapsulate the details of the revision to be logged in a LogRevision
4692
In long log formats, merge revision ids are only shown when --show-ids
4693
is specified, and are labelled "revision-id:", as per mainline
4694
revisions, instead of "merged:". (Kent Gibson)
4696
* New ``BranchBuilder`` API which allows the construction of particular
4697
histories quickly. Useful for testing and potentially other applications
4698
too. (Robert Collins)
4702
* There are two new help topics, working-trees and repositories that
4703
attempt to explain these concepts. (James Westby, John Arbash Meinel,
4706
* Added ``bzr log --limit`` to report a limited number of revisions.
4707
(Kent Gibson, #3659)
4709
* Revert does not try to preserve file contents that were originally
4710
produced by reverting to a historical revision. (Aaron Bentley)
4712
* ``bzr log --short`` now includes ``[merge]`` for revisions which
4713
have more than one parent. This is a small improvement to help
4714
understanding what changes have occurred
4715
(John Arbash Meinel, #83887)
4717
* TreeTransform avoids many renames when contructing large trees,
4718
improving speed. 3.25x speedups have been observed for construction of
4719
kernel-sized-trees, and checkouts are 1.28x faster. (Aaron Bentley)
4721
* Commit on large trees is now faster. In my environment, a commit of
4722
a small change to the Mozilla tree (55k files) has dropped from
4723
66 seconds to 32 seconds. For a small tree of 600 files, commit of a
4724
small change is 33% faster. (Ian Clatworthy)
4726
* New --create-prefix option to bzr init, like for push. (Daniel Watkins,
4731
* ``bzr push`` should only connect to the remote location one time.
4732
We have been connecting 3 times because we forget to pass around
4733
the Transport object. This adds ``BzrDir.clone_on_transport()``, so
4734
that we can pass in the Transport that we already have.
4735
(John Arbash Meinel, #75721)
4737
* ``DirState.set_state_from_inventory()`` needs to properly order
4738
based on split paths, not just string paths.
4739
(John Arbash Meinel, #115947)
4741
* Let TestUIFactoy encode the password prompt with its own stdout.
4742
(Vincent Ladeuil, #110204)
4744
* pycurl should take use the range header that takes the range hint
4746
(Vincent Ladeuil, #112719)
4748
* WorkingTree4.get_file_sha1 no longer raises an exception when invoked
4749
on a missing file. (Aaron Bentley, #118186)
4751
* WorkingTree.remove works correctly with tree references, and when pwd is
4752
not the tree root. (Aaron Bentley)
4754
* Merge no longer fails when a file is renamed in one tree and deleted
4755
in the other. (Aaron Bentley, #110279)
4757
* ``revision-info`` now accepts dotted revnos, doesn't require a tree,
4758
and defaults to the last revision (Matthew Fuller, #90048)
4760
* Tests no longer fail when BZR_REMOTE_PATH is set in the environment.
4761
(Daniel Watkins, #111958)
4763
* ``bzr branch -r revid:foo`` can be used to branch any revision in
4764
your repository. (Previously Branch6 only supported revisions in your
4765
mainline). (John Arbash Meinel, #115343)
4768
--------------------
4772
* Handle when you have 2 directories with similar names, but one has a
4773
hyphen. (``'abc'`` versus ``'abc-2'``). The WT4._iter_changes
4774
iterator was using direct comparison and ``'abc/a'`` sorts after
4775
``'abc-2'``, but ``('abc', 'a')`` sorts before ``('abc-2',)``.
4776
(John Arbash Meinel, #111227)
4778
* Handle when someone renames a file on disk without telling bzr.
4779
Previously we would report the first file as missing, but not show
4780
the new unknown file. (John Arbash Meinel, #111288)
4782
* Avoid error when running hooks after pulling into or pushing from
4783
a branch bound to a smartserver branch. (Martin Pool, #111968)
4787
* Move developer documentation to doc/developers/. This reduces clutter in
4788
the root of the source tree and allows HACKING to be split into multiple
4789
files. (Robert Collins, Alexander Belchenko)
4791
* Clean up the ``WorkingTree4._iter_changes()`` internal loops as well as
4792
``DirState.update_entry()``. This optimizes the core logic for ``bzr
4793
diff`` and ``bzr status`` significantly improving the speed of
4794
both. (John Arbash Meinel)
4796
bzr 0.16rc2 2007-04-30
4797
-----------------------
4801
* Handle the case when you delete a file, and then rename another file
4802
on top of it. Also handle the case of ``bzr rm --keep foo``. ``bzr
4803
status`` should show the removed file and an unknown file in its
4804
place. (John Arbash Meinel, #109993)
4806
* Bundles properly read and write revision properties that have an
4807
empty value. And when the value is not ASCII.
4808
(John Arbash Meinel, #109613)
4810
* Fix the bzr commit message to be in text mode.
4811
(Alexander Belchenko, #110901)
4813
* Also handle when you rename a file and create a file where it used
4814
to be. (John Arbash Meinel, #110256)
4816
* ``WorkingTree4._iter_changes`` should not descend into unversioned
4817
directories. (John Arbash Meinel, #110399)
4819
bzr 0.16rc1 2007-04-26
4820
-----------------------
4822
NOTES WHEN UPGRADING:
4824
* ``bzr remove`` and ``bzr rm`` will now remove the working file, if
4825
it could be recovered again.
4826
This has been done for consistency with svn and the unix rm command.
4827
The old ``remove`` behaviour has been retained in the new option
4828
``bzr remove --keep``, which will just stop versioning the file,
4830
``bzr remove --force`` have been added which will always delete the
4832
``bzr remove`` is also more verbose.
4833
(Marius Kruger, #82602)
4837
* Merge directives can now be supplied as input to `merge` and `pull`,
4838
like bundles can. (Aaron Bentley)
4840
* Sending the SIGQUIT signal to bzr, which can be done on Unix by
4841
pressing Control-Backslash, drops bzr into a debugger. Type ``'c'``
4842
to continue. This can be disabled by setting the environment variable
4843
``BZR_SIGQUIT_PDB=0``. (Martin Pool)
4845
* selftest now supports --list-only to list tests instead of running
4846
them. (Ian Clatworthy)
4848
* selftest now supports --exclude PATTERN (or -x PATTERN) to exclude
4849
tests with names that match that regular expression.
4850
(Ian Clatworthy, #102679)
4852
* selftest now supports --randomize SEED to run tests in a random order.
4853
SEED is typically the value 'now' meaning 'use the current time'.
4854
(Ian Clatworthy, #102686)
4856
* New option ``--fixes`` to commit, which stores bug fixing annotations as
4857
revision properties. Built-in support for Launchpad, Debian, Trac and
4858
Bugzilla bug trackers. (Jonathan Lange, James Henstridge, Robert Collins)
4860
* New API, ``bzrlib.bugtracker.tracker_registry``, for adding support for
4861
other bug trackers to ``fixes``. (Jonathan Lange, James Henstridge,
4864
* ``selftest`` has new short options ``-f`` and ``-1``. (Martin
4867
* ``bzrlib.tsort.MergeSorter`` optimizations. Change the inner loop
4868
into using local variables instead of going through ``self._var``.
4869
Improves the time to ``merge_sort`` a 10k revision graph by
4870
approximately 40% (~700->400ms). (John Arbash Meinel)
4872
* ``make docs`` now creates a man page at ``man1/bzr.1`` fixing bug 107388.
4875
* ``bzr help`` now provides cross references to other help topics using
4876
the _see_also facility on command classes. Likewise the bzr_man
4877
documentation, and the bzr.1 man page also include this information.
4880
* Tags are now included in logs, that use the long log formatter.
4881
(Erik Bågfors, Alexander Belchenko)
4883
* ``bzr help`` provides a clearer message when a help topic cannot be
4884
found. (Robert Collins, #107656)
4886
* ``bzr help`` now accepts optional prefixes for command help. The help
4887
for all commands can now be found at ``bzr help commands/COMMANDNAME``
4888
as well as ``bzr help COMMANDNAME`` (which only works for commands
4889
where the name is not the same as a more general help topic).
4892
* ``bzr help PLUGINNAME`` will now return the module docstring from the
4893
plugin PLUGINNAME. (Robert Collins, #50408)
4895
* New help topic ``urlspec`` which lists the availables transports.
4896
(Goffredo Baroncelli)
4898
* doc/server.txt updated to document the default bzr:// port
4899
and also update the blurb about the hpss' current status.
4900
(Robert Collins, #107125).
4902
* ``bzr serve`` now listens on interface 0.0.0.0 by default, making it
4903
serve out to the local LAN (and anyone in the world that can reach the
4904
machine running ``bzr serve``. (Robert Collins, #98918)
4906
* A new smart server protocol version has been added. It prefixes requests
4907
and responses with an explicit version identifier so that future protocol
4908
revisions can be dealt with gracefully. (Andrew Bennetts, Robert Collins)
4910
* The bzr protocol version 2 indicates success or failure in every response
4911
without depending on particular commands encoding that consistently,
4912
allowing future client refactorings to be much more robust about error
4913
handling. (Robert Collins, Martin Pool, Andrew Bennetts)
4915
* The smart protocol over HTTP client has been changed to always post to the
4916
same ``.bzr/smart`` URL under the original location when it can. This allows
4917
HTTP servers to only have to pass URLs ending in .bzr/smart to the smart
4918
server handler, and not arbitrary ``.bzr/*/smart`` URLs. (Andrew Bennetts)
4920
* digest authentication is now supported for proxies and HTTP by the urllib
4921
based http implementation. Tested against Apache 2.0.55 and Squid
4922
2.6.5. Basic and digest authentication are handled coherently for HTTP
4923
and proxy: if the user is provided in the url (bzr command line for HTTP,
4924
proxy environment variables for proxies), the password is prompted for
4925
(only once). If the password is provided, it is taken into account. Once
4926
the first authentication is successful, all further authentication
4927
roundtrips are avoided by preventively setting the right authentication
4933
* bzrlib API compatability with 0.8 has been dropped, cleaning up some
4934
code paths. (Robert Collins)
4936
* Change the format of chroot urls so that they can be safely manipulated
4937
by generic url utilities without causing the resulting urls to have
4938
escaped the chroot. A side effect of this is that creating a chroot
4939
requires an explicit action using a ChrootServer.
4940
(Robert Collins, Andrew Bennetts)
4942
* Deprecate ``Branch.get_root_id()`` because branches don't have root ids,
4943
rather than fixing bug #96847. (Aaron Bentley)
4945
* ``WorkingTree.apply_inventory_delta`` provides a better alternative to
4946
``WorkingTree._write_inventory``. (Aaron Bentley)
4948
* Convenience method ``TestCase.expectFailure`` ensures that known failures
4949
do not silently pass. (Aaron Bentley)
4951
* ``Transport.local_abspath`` now raises ``NotLocalUrl`` rather than
4952
``TransportNotPossible``. (Martin Pool, Ian Clatworthy)
4954
* New SmartServer hooks facility. There are two initial hooks documented
4955
in ``bzrlib.transport.smart.SmartServerHooks``. The two initial hooks allow
4956
plugins to execute code upon server startup and shutdown.
4959
* SmartServer in standalone mode will now close its listening socket
4960
when it stops, rather than waiting for garbage collection. This primarily
4961
fixes test suite hangs when a test tries to connect to a shutdown server.
4962
It may also help improve behaviour when dealing with a server running
4963
on a specific port (rather than dynamically assigned ports).
4966
* Move most SmartServer code into a new package, bzrlib/smart.
4967
bzrlib/transport/remote.py contains just the Transport classes that used
4968
to be in bzrlib/transport/smart.py. (Andrew Bennetts)
4970
* urllib http implementation avoid roundtrips associated with
4971
401 (and 407) errors once the authentication succeeds.
4974
* urlib http now supports querying the user for a proxy password if
4975
needed. Realm is shown in the prompt for both HTTP and proxy
4976
authentication when the user is required to type a password.
4979
* Renamed SmartTransport (and subclasses like SmartTCPTransport) to
4980
RemoteTransport (and subclasses to RemoteTCPTransport, etc). This is more
4981
consistent with its new home in ``bzrlib/transport/remote.py``, and because
4982
it's not really a "smart" transport, just one that does file operations
4983
via remote procedure calls. (Andrew Bennetts)
4985
* The ``lock_write`` method of ``LockableFiles``, ``Repository`` and
4986
``Branch`` now accept a ``token`` keyword argument, so that separate
4987
instances of those objects can share a lock if it has the right token.
4988
(Andrew Bennetts, Robert Collins)
4990
* New method ``get_branch_reference`` on ``BzrDir`` allows the detection of
4991
branch references - which the smart server component needs.
4993
* The Repository API ``make_working_trees`` is now permitted to return
4994
False when ``set_make_working_trees`` is not implemented - previously
4995
an unimplemented ``set_make_working_trees`` implied the result True
4996
from ``make_working_trees``. This has been changed to accomodate the
4997
smart server, where it does not make sense (at this point) to ever
4998
make working trees by default. (Robert Collins)
5000
* Command objects can now declare related help topics by having _see_also
5001
set to a list of related topic. (Robert Collins)
5003
* ``bzrlib.help`` now delegates to the Command class for Command specific
5004
help. (Robert Collins)
5006
* New class ``TransportListRegistry``, derived from the Registry class, which
5007
simplifies tracking the available Transports. (Goffredo Baroncelli)
5009
* New function ``Branch.get_revision_id_to_revno_map`` which will
5010
return a dictionary mapping revision ids to dotted revnos. Since
5011
dotted revnos are defined in the context of the branch tip, it makes
5012
sense to generate them from a ``Branch`` object.
5013
(John Arbash Meinel)
5015
* Fix the 'Unprintable error' message display to use the repr of the
5016
exception that prevented printing the error because the str value
5017
for it is often not useful in debugging (e.g. KeyError('foo') has a
5018
str() of 'foo' but a repr of 'KeyError('foo')' which is much more
5019
useful. (Robert Collins)
5021
* ``urlutils.normalize_url`` now unescapes unreserved characters, such as "~".
5026
* Don't fail bundle selftest if email has 'two' embedded.
5027
(Ian Clatworthy, #98510)
5029
* Remove ``--verbose`` from ``bzr bundle``. It didn't work anyway.
5030
(Robert Widhopf-Fenk, #98591)
5032
* Remove ``--basis`` from the checkout/branch commands - it didn't work
5033
properly and is no longer beneficial.
5034
(Robert Collins, #53675, #43486)
5036
* Don't produce encoding error when adding duplicate files.
5039
* Fix ``bzr log <file>`` so it only logs the revisions that changed
5040
the file, and does it faster.
5041
(Kent Gibson, John Arbash Meinel, #51980, #69477)
5043
* Fix ``InterDirstateTre._iter_changes`` to handle when we come across
5044
an empty versioned directory, which now has files in it.
5045
(John Arbash Meinel, #104257)
5047
* Teach ``common_ancestor`` to shortcut when the tip of one branch is
5048
inside the ancestry of the other. Saves a lot of graph processing
5049
(with an ancestry of 16k revisions, ``bzr merge ../already-merged``
5050
changes from 2m10s to 13s). (John Arbash Meinel, #103757)
5052
* Fix ``show_diff_trees`` to handle the case when a file is modified,
5053
and the containing directory is renamed. (The file path is different
5054
in this versus base, but it isn't marked as a rename).
5055
(John Arbash Meinel, #103870)
5057
* FTP now works even when the FTP server does not support atomic rename.
5058
(Aaron Bentley, #89436)
5060
* Correct handling in bundles and merge directives of timezones with
5061
that are not an integer number of hours offset from UTC. Always
5062
represent the epoch time in UTC to avoid problems with formatting
5063
earlier times on win32. (Martin Pool, Alexander Belchenko, John
5066
* Typo in the help for ``register-branch`` fixed. (Robert Collins, #96770)
5068
* "dirstate" and "dirstate-tags" formats now produce branches compatible
5069
with old versions of bzr. (Aaron Bentley, #107168))
5071
* Handle moving a directory when children have been added, removed,
5072
and renamed. (John Arbash Meinel, #105479)
5074
* Don't preventively use basic authentication for proxy before receiving a
5075
407 error. Otherwise people willing to use other authentication schemes
5076
may expose their password in the clear (or nearly). This add one
5077
roundtrip in case basic authentication should be used, but plug the
5081
* Handle http and proxy digest authentication.
5082
(Vincent Ladeuil, #94034).
5086
* Added ``bzrlib.strace.strace`` which will strace a single callable and
5087
return a StraceResult object which contains just the syscalls involved
5088
in running it. (Robert Collins)
5090
* New test method ``reduceLockdirTimeout`` to drop the default (ui-centric)
5091
default time down to one suitable for tests. (Andrew Bennetts)
5093
* Add new ``vfs_transport_factory`` attribute on tests which provides the
5094
common vfs backing for both the readonly and readwrite transports.
5095
This allows the RemoteObject tests to back onto local disk or memory,
5096
and use the existing ``transport_server`` attribute all tests know about
5097
to be the smart server transport. This in turn allows tests to
5098
differentiate between 'transport to access the branch', and
5099
'transport which is a VFS' - which matters in Remote* tests.
5100
(Robert Collins, Andrew Bennetts)
5102
* The ``make_branch_and_tree`` method for tests will now create a
5103
lightweight checkout for the tree if the ``vfs_transport_factory`` is not
5104
a LocalURLServer. (Robert Collins, Andrew Bennetts)
5106
* Branch implementation tests have been audited to ensure that all urls
5107
passed to Branch APIs use proper urls, except when local-disk paths
5108
are intended. This is so that tests correctly access the test transport
5109
which is often not equivalent to local disk in Remote* tests. As part
5110
of this many tests were adjusted to remove dependencies on local disk
5112
(Robert Collins, Andrew Bennetts)
5114
* Mark bzrlib.tests and bzrlib.tests.TestUtil as providing assertFOO helper
5115
functions by adding a ``__unittest`` global attribute. (Robert Collins,
5116
Andrew Bennetts, Martin Pool, Jonathan Lange)
5118
* Refactored proxy and authentication handling to simplify the
5119
implementation of new auth schemes for both http and proxy.
5127
* Handle incompatible repositories as a user issue when fetching.
5130
* Don't give a recommendation to upgrade when branching or
5131
checking out a branch that contains an old-format working tree.
5134
bzr 0.15rc3 2007-03-26
5135
-----------------------
5139
* A warning is now displayed when opening working trees in older
5140
formats, to encourage people to upgrade to WorkingTreeFormat4.
5145
* HTTP redirections are now taken into account when a branch (or a
5146
bundle) is accessed for the first time. A message is issued at each
5147
redirection to inform the user. In the past, http redirections were
5148
silently followed for each request which significantly degraded the
5149
performances. The http redirections are not followed anymore by
5150
default, instead a RedirectRequested exception is raised. For bzrlib
5151
users needing to follow http redirections anyway,
5152
``bzrlib.transport.do_catching_redirections`` provide an easy transition
5157
* Added ``ReadLock.temporary_write_lock()`` to allow upgrading an OS read
5158
lock to an OS write lock. Linux can do this without unlocking, Win32
5159
needs to unlock in between. (John Arbash Meinel)
5161
* New parameter ``recommend_upgrade`` to ``BzrDir.open_workingtree``
5162
to silence (when false) warnings about opening old formats.
5165
* Fix minor performance regression with bzr-0.15 on pre-dirstate
5166
trees. (We were reading the working inventory too many times).
5167
(John Arbash Meinel)
5169
* Remove ``Branch.get_transaction()`` in favour of a simple cache of
5170
``revision_history``. Branch subclasses should override
5171
``_gen_revision_history`` rather than ``revision_history`` to make use of
5172
this cache, and call ``_clear_revision_history_cache`` and
5173
``_cache_revision_history`` at appropriate times. (Andrew Bennetts)
5177
* Take ``smtp_server`` from user config into account.
5180
* Restore Unicode filename handling for versioned and unversioned files.
5181
(John Arbash Meinel, #92608)
5183
* Don't fail during ``bzr commit`` if a file is marked removed, and
5184
the containing directory is auto-removed. (John Arbash Meinel, #93681)
5186
* ``bzr status FILENAME`` failed on Windows because of an uncommon
5187
errno. (``ERROR_DIRECTORY == 267 != ENOTDIR``).
5188
(Wouter van Heyst, John Arbash Meinel, #90819)
5190
* ``bzr checkout source`` should create a local branch in the same
5191
format as source. (John Arbash Meinel, #93854)
5193
* ``bzr commit`` with a kind change was failing to update the
5194
last-changed-revision for directories. The
5195
InventoryDirectory._unchanged only looked at the ``parent_id`` and name,
5196
ignoring the fact that the kind could have changed, too.
5197
(John Arbash Meinel, #90111)
5199
* ``bzr mv dir/subdir other`` was incorrectly updating files inside
5200
the directory. So that there was a chance it would break commit,
5201
etc. (John Arbash Meinel, #94037)
5203
* Correctly handles mutiple permanent http redirections.
5206
bzr 0.15rc2 2007-03-14
5207
-----------------------
5209
NOTES WHEN UPGRADING:
5211
* Release 0.15rc2 of bzr changes the ``bzr init-repo`` command to
5212
default to ``--trees`` instead of ``--no-trees``.
5213
Existing shared repositories are not affected.
5217
* New ``merge-directive`` command to generate machine- and human-readable
5218
merge requests. (Aaron Bentley)
5220
* New ``submit:`` revision specifier makes it easy to diff against the
5221
common ancestor with the submit location (Aaron Bentley)
5223
* Added support for Putty's SSH implementation. (Dmitry Vasiliev)
5225
* Added ``bzr status --versioned`` to report only versioned files,
5226
not unknowns. (Kent Gibson)
5228
* Merge now autodetects the correct line-ending style for its conflict
5229
markers. (Aaron Bentley)
5233
* Refactored SSH vendor registration into SSHVendorManager class.
5238
* New ``--numbered-dirs`` option to ``bzr selftest`` to use
5239
numbered dirs for TestCaseInTempDir. This is default behavior
5240
on Windows. Anyone can force named dirs on Windows
5241
with ``--no-numbered-dirs``. (Alexander Belchenko)
5243
* Fix ``RevisionSpec_revid`` to handle the Unicode strings passed in
5244
from the command line. (Marien Zwart, #90501)
5246
* Fix ``TreeTransform._iter_changes`` when both the source and
5247
destination are missing. (Aaron Bentley, #88842)
5249
* Fix commit of merges with symlinks in dirstate trees.
5252
* Switch the ``bzr init-repo`` default from --no-trees to --trees.
5253
(Wouter van Heyst, #53483)
5256
bzr 0.15rc1 2007-03-07
5257
-----------------------
5261
* The default disk format has changed. Please run 'bzr upgrade' in your
5262
working trees to upgrade. This new default is compatible for network
5263
operations, but not for local operations. That is, if you have two
5264
versions of bzr installed locally, after upgrading you can only use the
5265
bzr 0.15 version. This new default does not enable tags or nested-trees
5266
as they are incompatible with bzr versions before 0.15 over the network.
5268
* For users of bzrlib: Two major changes have been made to the working tree
5269
api in bzrlib. The first is that many methods and attributes, including
5270
the inventory attribute, are no longer valid for use until one of
5271
``lock_read``/``lock_write``/``lock_tree_write`` has been called,
5272
and become invalid again after unlock is called. This has been done
5273
to improve performance and correctness as part of the dirstate
5275
(Robert Collins, John A Meinel, Martin Pool, and others).
5277
* For users of bzrlib: The attribute 'tree.inventory' should be considered
5278
readonly. Previously it was possible to directly alter this attribute, or
5279
its contents, and have the tree notice this. This has been made
5280
unsupported - it may work in some tree formats, but in the newer dirstate
5281
format such actions will have no effect and will be ignored, or even
5282
cause assertions. All operations possible can still be carried out by a
5283
combination of the tree API, and the bzrlib.transform API. (Robert
5284
Collins, John A Meinel, Martin Pool, and others).
5288
* Support for OS Windows 98. Also .bzr.log on any windows system
5289
saved in My Documents folder. (Alexander Belchenko)
5291
* ``bzr mv`` enhanced to support already moved files.
5292
In the past the mv command would have failed if the source file doesn't
5293
exist. In this situation ``bzr mv`` would now detect that the file has
5294
already moved and update the repository accordingly, if the target file
5296
A new option ``--after`` has been added so that if two files already
5297
exist, you could notify Bazaar that you have moved a (versioned) file
5298
and replaced it with another. Thus in this case ``bzr move --after``
5299
will only update the Bazaar identifier.
5300
(Steffen Eichenberg, Marius Kruger)
5302
* ``ls`` now works on treeless branches and remote branches.
5305
* ``bzr help global-options`` describes the global options.
5308
* ``bzr pull --overwrite`` will now correctly overwrite checkouts.
5311
* Files are now allowed to change kind (e.g. from file to symlink).
5312
Supported by ``commit``, ``revert`` and ``status``
5315
* ``inventory`` and ``unknowns`` hidden in favour of ``ls``
5318
* ``bzr help checkouts`` descibes what checkouts are and some possible
5319
uses of them. (James Westby, Aaron Bentley)
5321
* A new ``-d`` option to push, pull and merge overrides the default
5322
directory. (Martin Pool)
5324
* Branch format 6: smaller, and potentially faster than format 5. Supports
5325
``append_history_only`` mode, where the log view and revnos do not change,
5326
except by being added to. Stores policy settings in
5327
".bzr/branch/branch.conf".
5329
* ``append_only`` branches: Format 6 branches may be configured so that log
5330
view and revnos are always consistent. Either create the branch using
5331
"bzr init --append-revisions-only" or edit the config file as descriped
5332
in docs/configuration.txt.
5334
* rebind: Format 6 branches retain the last-used bind location, so if you
5335
"bzr unbind", you can "bzr bind" to bind to the previously-selected
5338
* Builtin tags support, created and deleted by the ``tag`` command and
5339
stored in the branch. Tags can be accessed with the revisionspec
5340
``-rtag:``, and listed with ``bzr tags``. Tags are not versioned
5341
at present. Tags require a network incompatible upgrade. To perform this
5342
upgrade, run ``bzr upgrade --dirstate-tags`` in your branch and
5343
repositories. (Martin Pool)
5345
* The ``bzr://`` transport now has a well-known port number, 4155,
5346
which it will use by default. (Andrew Bennetts, Martin Pool)
5348
* Bazaar now looks for user-installed plugins before looking for site-wide
5349
plugins. (Jonathan Lange)
5351
* ``bzr resolve`` now detects and marks resolved text conflicts.
5356
* Internally revision ids and file ids are now passed around as utf-8
5357
bytestrings, rather than treating them as Unicode strings. This has
5358
performance benefits for Knits, since we no longer need to decode the
5359
revision id for each line of content, nor for each entry in the index.
5360
This will also help with the future dirstate format.
5361
(John Arbash Meinel)
5363
* Reserved ids (any revision-id ending in a colon) are rejected by
5364
versionedfiles, repositories, branches, and working trees
5367
* Minor performance improvement by not creating a ProgressBar for
5368
every KnitIndex we create. (about 90ms for a bzr.dev tree)
5369
(John Arbash Meinel)
5371
* New easier to use Branch hooks facility. There are five initial hooks,
5372
all documented in bzrlib.branch.BranchHooks.__init__ - ``'set_rh'``,
5373
``'post_push'``, ``'post_pull'``, ``'post_commit'``,
5374
``'post_uncommit'``. These hooks fire after the matching operation
5375
on a branch has taken place, and were originally added for the
5376
branchrss plugin. (Robert Collins)
5378
* New method ``Branch.push()`` which should be used when pushing from a
5379
branch as it makes performance and policy decisions to match the UI
5380
level command ``push``. (Robert Collins).
5382
* Add a new method ``Tree.revision_tree`` which allows access to cached
5383
trees for arbitrary revisions. This allows the in development dirstate
5384
tree format to provide access to the callers to cached copies of
5385
inventory data which are cheaper to access than inventories from the
5387
(Robert Collins, Martin Pool)
5389
* New ``Branch.last_revision_info`` method, this is being done to allow
5390
optimization of requests for both the number of revisions and the last
5391
revision of a branch with smartservers and potentially future branch
5392
formats. (Wouter van Heyst, Robert Collins)
5394
* Allow ``'import bzrlib.plugins.NAME'`` to work when the plugin NAME has not
5395
yet been loaded by ``load_plugins()``. This allows plugins to depend on each
5396
other for code reuse without requiring users to perform file-renaming
5397
gymnastics. (Robert Collins)
5399
* New Repository method ``'gather_stats'`` for statistic data collection.
5400
This is expected to grow to cover a number of related uses mainly
5401
related to bzr info. (Robert Collins)
5403
* Log formatters are now managed with a registry.
5404
``log.register_formatter`` continues to work, but callers accessing
5405
the FORMATTERS dictionary directly will not.
5407
* Allow a start message to be passed to the ``edit_commit_message``
5408
function. This will be placed in the message offered to the user
5409
for editing above the separator. It allows a template commit message
5410
to be used more easily. (James Westby)
5412
* ``GPGStrategy.sign()`` will now raise ``BzrBadParameterUnicode`` if
5413
you pass a Unicode string rather than an 8-bit string. Callers need
5414
to be updated to encode first. (John Arbash Meinel)
5416
* Branch.push, pull, merge now return Result objects with information
5417
about what happened, rather than a scattering of various methods. These
5418
are also passed to the post hooks. (Martin Pool)
5420
* File formats and architecture is in place for managing a forest of trees
5421
in bzr, and splitting up existing trees into smaller subtrees, and
5422
finally joining trees to make a larger tree. This is the first iteration
5423
of this support, and the user-facing aspects still require substantial
5424
work. If you wish to experiment with it, use ``bzr upgrade
5425
--dirstate-with-subtree`` in your working trees and repositories.
5426
You can use the hidden commands ``split`` and ``join`` and to create
5427
and manipulate nested trees, but please consider using the nested-trees
5428
branch, which contains substantial UI improvements, instead.
5429
http://code.aaronbentley.com/bzr/bzrrepo/nested-trees/
5430
(Aaron Bentley, Martin Pool, Robert Collins).
5434
* ``bzr annotate`` now uses dotted revnos from the viewpoint of the
5435
branch, rather than the last changed revision of the file.
5436
(John Arbash Meinel, #82158)
5438
* Lock operations no longer hang if they encounter a permission problem.
5441
* ``bzr push`` can resume a push that was canceled before it finished.
5442
Also, it can push even if the target directory exists if you supply
5443
the ``--use-existing-dir`` flag.
5444
(John Arbash Meinel, #30576, #45504)
5446
* Fix http proxy authentication when user and an optional
5447
password appears in the ``*_proxy`` vars. (Vincent Ladeuil,
5450
* ``bzr log branch/file`` works for local treeless branches
5451
(Aaron Bentley, #84247)
5453
* Fix problem with UNC paths on Windows 98. (Alexander Belchenko, #84728)
5455
* Searching location of CA bundle for PyCurl in env variable
5456
(``CURL_CA_BUNDLE``), and on win32 along the PATH.
5457
(Alexander Belchenko, #82086)
5459
* ``bzr init`` works with unicode argument LOCATION.
5460
(Alexander Belchenko, #85599)
5462
* Raise ``DependencyNotPresent`` if pycurl do not support https.
5463
(Vincent Ladeuil, #85305)
5465
* Invalid proxy env variables should not cause a traceback.
5466
(Vincent Ladeuil, #87765)
5468
* Ignore patterns normalised to use '/' path separator.
5469
(Kent Gibson, #86451)
5471
* bzr rocks. It sure does! Fix case. (Vincent Ladeuil, #78026)
5473
* Fix bzrtools shelve command for removed lines beginning with "--"
5474
(Johan Dahlberg, #75577)
5478
* New ``--first`` option to ``bzr selftest`` to run specified tests
5479
before the rest of the suite. (Martin Pool)
5483
--------------------
5487
* ``bzr help global-options`` describes the global options. (Aaron Bentley)
5491
* Skip documentation generation tests if the tools to do so are not
5492
available. Fixes running selftest for installled copies of bzr.
5493
(John Arbash Meinel, #80330)
5495
* Fix the code that discovers whether bzr is being run from it's
5496
working tree to handle the case when it isn't but the directory
5497
it is in is below a repository. (James Westby, #77306)
5500
bzr 0.14rc1 2007-01-16
5501
-----------------------
5505
* New connection: ``bzr+http://`` which supports tunnelling the smart
5506
protocol over an HTTP connection. If writing is enabled on the bzr
5507
server, then you can write over the http connection.
5508
(Andrew Bennetts, John Arbash Meinel)
5510
* Aliases now support quotation marks, so they can contain whitespace
5513
* PyCurlTransport now use a single curl object. By specifying explicitly
5514
the 'Range' header, we avoid the need to use two different curl objects
5515
(and two connections to the same server). (Vincent Ladeuil)
5517
* ``bzr commit`` does not prompt for a message until it is very likely to
5518
succeed. (Aaron Bentley)
5520
* ``bzr conflicts`` now takes --text to list pathnames of text conflicts
5523
* Fix ``iter_lines_added_or_present_in_versions`` to use a set instead
5524
of a list while checking if a revision id was requested. Takes 10s
5525
off of the ``fileids_affected_by_revision_ids`` time, which is 10s
5526
of the ``bzr branch`` time. Also improve ``fileids_...`` time by
5527
filtering lines with a regex rather than multiple ``str.find()``
5528
calls. (saves another 300ms) (John Arbash Meinel)
5530
* Policy can be set for each configuration key. This allows keys to be
5531
inherited properly across configuration entries. For example, this
5532
should enable you to do::
5534
[/home/user/project]
5535
push_location = sftp://host/srv/project/
5536
push_location:policy = appendpath
5538
And then a branch like ``/home/user/project/mybranch`` should get an
5539
automatic push location of ``sftp://host/srv/project/mybranch``.
5542
* Added ``bzr status --short`` to make status report svn style flags
5543
for each file. For example::
5545
$ bzr status --short
5551
* 'bzr selftest --clean-output' allows easily clean temporary tests
5552
directories without running tests. (Alexander Belchenko)
5554
* ``bzr help hidden-commands`` lists all hidden commands. (Aaron Bentley)
5556
* ``bzr merge`` now has an option ``--pull`` to fall back to pull if
5557
local is fully merged into remote. (Jan Hudec)
5559
* ``bzr help formats`` describes available directory formats. (Aaron Bentley)
5563
* A few tweaks directly to ``fileids_affected_by_revision_ids`` to
5564
help speed up processing, as well allowing to extract unannotated
5565
lines. Between the two ``fileids_affected_by_revision_ids`` is
5566
improved by approx 10%. (John Arbash Meinel)
5568
* Change Revision serialization to only write out millisecond
5569
resolution. Rather than expecting floating point serialization to
5570
preserve more resolution than we need. (Henri Weichers, Martin Pool)
5572
* Test suite ends cleanly on Windows. (Vincent Ladeuil)
5574
* When ``encoding_type`` attribute of class Command is equal to 'exact',
5575
force sys.stdout to be a binary stream on Windows, and therefore
5576
keep exact line-endings (without LF -> CRLF conversion).
5577
(Alexander Belchenko)
5579
* Single-letter short options are no longer globally declared. (Martin
5582
* Before using detected user/terminal encoding bzr should check
5583
that Python has corresponding codec. (Alexander Belchenko)
5585
* Formats for end-user selection are provided via a FormatRegistry (Aaron Bentley)
5589
* ``bzr missing --verbose`` was showing adds/removals in the wrong
5590
direction. (John Arbash Meinel)
5592
* ``bzr annotate`` now defaults to showing dotted revnos for merged
5593
revisions. It cuts them off at a depth of 12 characters, but you can
5594
supply ``--long`` to see the full number. You can also use
5595
``--show-ids`` to display the original revision ids, rather than
5596
revision numbers and committer names. (John Arbash Meinel, #75637)
5598
* bzr now supports Win32 UNC path (e.g. ``\HOST\path``.
5599
(Alexander Belchenko, #57869)
5601
* Win32-specific: output of cat, bundle and diff commands don't mangle
5602
line-endings (Alexander Belchenko, #55276)
5604
* Replace broken fnmatch based ignore pattern matching with custom pattern
5606
(Kent Gibson, Jan Hudec #57637)
5608
* pycurl and urllib can detect short reads at different places. Update
5609
the test suite to test more cases. Also detect http error code 416
5610
which was raised for that specific bug. Also enhance the urllib
5611
robustness by detecting invalid ranges (and pycurl's one by detecting
5612
short reads during the initial GET). (Vincent Ladeuil, #73948)
5614
* The urllib connection sharing interacts badly with urllib2
5615
proxy setting (the connections didn't go thru the proxy
5616
anymore). Defining a proper ProxyHandler solves the
5617
problem. (Vincent Ladeuil, #74759)
5619
* Use urlutils to generate relative URLs, not osutils
5620
(Aaron Bentley, #76229)
5622
* ``bzr status`` in a readonly directory should work without giving
5623
lots of errors. (John Arbash Meinel, #76299)
5625
* Mention the revisionspec topic for the revision option help.
5626
(Wouter van Heyst, #31663)
5628
* Allow plugins import from zip archives.
5629
(Alexander Belchenko, #68124)

5635
No changes from 0.13rc1
5637
bzr 0.13rc1 2006-11-27
5638
-----------------------
5642
* New command ``bzr remove-tree`` allows the removal of the working
5644
(Daniel Silverstone)
5646
* urllib uses shared keep-alive connections, so http
5647
operations are substantially faster.
5648
(Vincent Ladeuil, #53654)
5650
* ``bzr export`` allows an optional branch parameter, to export a bzr
5651
tree from some other url. For example:
5652
``bzr export bzr.tar.gz http://bazaar-vcs.org/bzr/bzr.dev``
5653
(Daniel Silverstone)
5655
* Added ``bzr help topics`` to the bzr help system. This gives a
5656
location for general information, outside of a specific command.
5657
This includes updates for ``bzr help revisionspec`` the first topic
5658
included. (Goffredo Baroncelli, John Arbash Meinel, #42714)
5660
* WSGI-compatible HTTP smart server. See ``doc/http_smart_server.txt``.
5663
* Knit files will now cache full texts only when the size of the
5664
deltas is as large as the size of the fulltext. (Or after 200
5665
deltas, whichever comes first). This has the most benefit on large
5666
files with small changes, such as the inventory for a large project.
5667
(eg For a project with 2500 files, and 7500 revisions, it changes
5668
the size of inventory.knit from 11MB to 5.4MB) (John Arbash Meinel)
5672
* New -D option given before the command line turns on debugging output
5673
for particular areas. -Derror shows tracebacks on all errors.
5676
* Clean up ``bzr selftest --benchmark bundle`` to correct an import,
5677
and remove benchmarks that take longer than 10min to run.
5678
(John Arbash Meinel)
5680
* Use ``time.time()`` instead of ``time.clock()`` to decide on
5681
progress throttling. Because ``time.clock()`` is actually CPU time,
5682
so over a high-latency connection, too many updates get throttled.
5683
(John Arbash Meinel)
5685
* ``MemoryTransport.list_dir()`` would strip the first character for
5686
files or directories in root directory. (John Arbash Meinel)
5688
* New method ``get_branch_reference`` on 'BzrDir' allows the detection of
5689
branch references - which the smart server component needs.
5691
* New ``ChrootTransportDecorator``, accessible via the ``chroot+`` url
5692
prefix. It disallows any access to locations above a set URL. (Andrew
5697
* Now ``_KnitIndex`` properly decode revision ids when loading index data.
5698
And optimize the knit index parsing code.
5699
(Dmitry Vasiliev, John Arbash Meinel)
5701
* ``bzrlib/bzrdir.py`` was directly referencing ``bzrlib.workingtree``,
5702
without importing it. This prevented ``bzr upgrade`` from working
5703
unless a plugin already imported ``bzrlib.workingtree``
5704
(John Arbash Meinel, #70716)
5706
* Suppress the traceback on invalid URLs (Vincent Ladeuil, #70803).
5708
* Give nicer error message when an http server returns a 403
5709
error code. (Vincent Ladeuil, #57644).
5711
* When a multi-range http GET request fails, try a single
5712
range one. If it fails too, forget about ranges. Remember that until
5713
the death of the transport and propagates that to the clones.
5714
(Vincent Ladeuil, #62276, #62029).
5716
* Handles user/passwords supplied in url from command
5717
line (for the urllib implementation). Don't request already
5718
known passwords (Vincent Ladeuil, #42383, #44647, #48527)
5720
* ``_KnitIndex.add_versions()`` dictionary compresses revision ids as they
5721
are added. This fixes bug where fetching remote revisions records
5722
them as full references rather than integers.
5723
(John Arbash Meinel, #64789)
5725
* ``bzr ignore`` strips trailing slashes in patterns.
5726
Also ``bzr ignore`` rejects absolute paths. (Kent Gibson, #4559)
5728
* ``bzr ignore`` takes multiple arguments. (Cheuksan Edward Wang, #29488)
5730
* mv correctly handles paths that traverse symlinks.
5731
(Aaron Bentley, #66964)
5733
* Give nicer looking error messages when failing to connect over ssh.
5734
(John Arbash Meinel, #49172)
5736
* Pushing to a remote branch does not currently update the remote working
5737
tree. After a remote push, ``bzr status`` and ``bzr diff`` on the remote
5738
machine now show that the working tree is out of date.
5739
(Cheuksan Edward Wang #48136)
5741
* Use patiencediff instead of difflib for determining deltas to insert
5742
into knits. This avoids the O(N^3) behavior of difflib. Patience
5743
diff should be O(N^2). (Cheuksan Edward Wang, #65714)
5745
* Running ``bzr log`` on nonexistent file gives an error instead of the
5746
entire log history. (Cheuksan Edward Wang #50793)
5748
* ``bzr cat`` can look up contents of removed or renamed files. If the
5749
pathname is ambiguous, i.e. the files in the old and new trees have
5750
different id's, the default is the file in the new tree. The user can
5751
use "--name-from-revision" to select the file in the old tree.
5752
(Cheuksan Edward Wang, #30190)
5756
* TestingHTTPRequestHandler really handles the Range header
5757
(previously it was ignoring it and returning the whole file,).
5760
--------------------
5764
* Clean up ``bzr selftest --benchmark bundle`` to correct an import,
5765
and remove benchmarks that take longer than 10min to run.
5766
(John Arbash Meinel)
5768
bzr 0.12rc1 2006-10-23
5769
-----------------------
5773
* ``bzr log`` now shows dotted-decimal revision numbers for all revisions,
5774
rather than just showing a decimal revision number for revisions on the
5775
mainline. These revision numbers are not yet accepted as input into bzr
5776
commands such as log, diff etc. (Robert Collins)
5778
* revisions can now be specified using dotted-decimal revision numbers.
5779
For instance, ``bzr diff -r 1.2.1..1.2.3``. (Robert Collins)
5781
* ``bzr help commands`` output is now shorter (Aaron Bentley)
5783
* ``bzr`` now uses lazy importing to reduce the startup time. This has
5784
a moderate effect on lots of actions, especially ones that have
5785
little to do. For example ``bzr rocks`` time is down to 116ms from
5786
283ms. (John Arbash Meinel)
5788
* New Registry class to provide name-to-object registry-like support,
5789
for example for schemes where plugins can register new classes to
5790
do certain tasks (e.g. log formatters). Also provides lazy registration
5791
to allow modules to be loaded on request.
5792
(John Arbash Meinel, Adeodato Simó)
5794
API INCOMPATABILITY:
5796
* LogFormatter subclasses show now expect the 'revno' parameter to
5797
show() to be a string rather than an int. (Robert Collins)
5801
* ``TestCase.run_bzr``, ``run_bzr_captured``, and ``run_bzr_subprocess``
5802
can take a ``working_dir='foo'`` parameter, which will change directory
5803
for the command. (John Arbash Meinel)
5805
* ``bzrlib.lazy_regex.lazy_compile`` can be used to create a proxy
5806
around a regex, which defers compilation until first use.
5807
(John Arbash Meinel)
5809
* ``TestCase.run_bzr_subprocess`` defaults to supplying the
5810
``--no-plugins`` parameter to ensure test reproducability, and avoid
5811
problems with system-wide installed plugins. (John Arbash Meinel)
5813
* Unique tree root ids are now supported. Newly created trees still
5814
use the common root id for compatibility with bzr versions before 0.12.
5817
* ``WorkingTree.set_root_id(None)`` is now deprecated. Please
5818
pass in ``inventory.ROOT_ID`` if you want the default root id value.
5819
(Robert Collins, John Arbash Meinel)
5821
* New method ``WorkingTree.flush()`` which will write the current memory
5822
inventory out to disk. At the same time, ``read_working_inventory`` will
5823
no longer trash the current tree inventory if it has been modified within
5824
the current lock, and the tree will now ``flush()`` automatically on
5825
``unlock()``. ``WorkingTree.set_root_id()`` has been updated to take
5826
advantage of this functionality. (Robert Collins, John Arbash Meinel)
5828
* ``bzrlib.tsort.merge_sorted`` now accepts ``generate_revnos``. This
5829
parameter will cause it to add another column to its output, which
5830
contains the dotted-decimal revno for each revision, as a tuple.
5833
* ``LogFormatter.show_merge`` is deprecated in favour of
5834
``LogFormatter.show_merge_revno``. (Robert Collins)
5838
* Avoid circular imports by creating a deprecated function for
5839
``bzrlib.tree.RevisionTree``. Callers should have been using
5840
``bzrlib.revisontree.RevisionTree`` anyway. (John Arbash Meinel,
5843
* Don't use ``socket.MSG_WAITALL`` as it doesn't exist on all
5844
platforms. (Martin Pool, #66356)
5846
* Don't require ``Content-Type`` in range responses. Assume they are a
5847
single range if ``Content-Type`` does not exist.
5848
(John Arbash Meinel, #62473)
5850
* bzr branch/pull no longer complain about progress bar cleanup when
5851
interrupted during fetch. (Aaron Bentley, #54000)
5853
* ``WorkingTree.set_parent_trees()`` uses the trees to directly write
5854
the basis inventory, rather than going through the repository. This
5855
allows us to have 1 inventory read, and 2 inventory writes when
5856
committing a new tree. (John Arbash Meinel)
5858
* When reverting, files that are not locally modified that do not exist
5859
in the target are deleted, not just unversioned (Aaron Bentley)
5861
* When trying to acquire a lock, don't fail immediately. Instead, try
5862
a few times (up to 1 hour) before timing out. Also, report why the
5863
lock is unavailable (John Arbash Meinel, #43521, #49556)
5865
* Leave HttpTransportBase daughter classes decides how they
5866
implement cloning. (Vincent Ladeuil, #61606)
5868
* diff3 does not indicate conflicts on clean merge. (Aaron Bentley)
5870
* If a commit fails, the commit message is stored in a file at the root of
5871
the tree for later commit. (Cheuksan Edward Wang, Stefan Metzmacher,
5876
* New test base class TestCaseWithMemoryTransport offers memory-only
5877
testing facilities: its not suitable for tests that need to mutate disk
5878
state, but most tests should not need that and should be converted to
5879
TestCaseWithMemoryTransport. (Robert Collins)
5881
* ``TestCase.make_branch_and_memory_tree`` now takes a format
5882
option to set the BzrDir, Repository and Branch formats of the
5883
created objects. (Robert Collins, John Arbash Meinel)
5886
--------------------
5888
* Smart server transport test failures on windows fixed. (Lukáš Lalinský).
5890
bzr 0.11rc2 2006-09-27
5891
-----------------------
5895
* Test suite hangs on windows fixed. (Andrew Bennets, Alexander Belchenko).
5897
* Commit performance regression fixed. (Aaron Bentley, Robert Collins, John
5900
bzr 0.11rc1 2006-09-25
5901
-----------------------
5905
* Knit files now wait to create their contents until the first data is
5906
added. The old code used to create an empty .knit and a .kndx with just
5907
the header. However, this caused a lot of extra round trips over sftp.
5908
This can change the time for ``bzr push`` to create a new remote branch
5909
from 160s down to 100s. This also affects ``bzr commit`` performance when
5910
adding new files, ``bzr commit`` on a new kernel-like tree drops from 50s
5911
down to 40s (John Arbash Meinel, #44692)
5913
* When an entire subtree has been deleted, commit will now report that
5914
just the top of the subtree has been deleted, rather than reporting
5915
all the individual items. (Robert Collins)
5917
* Commit performs one less XML parse. (Robert Collins)
5919
* ``bzr checkout`` now operates on readonly branches as well
5920
as readwrite branches. This fixes bug #39542. (Robert Collins)
5922
* ``bzr bind`` no longer synchronises history with the master branch.
5923
Binding should be followed by an update or push to synchronise the
5924
two branches. This is closely related to the fix for bug #39542.
5927
* ``bzrlib.lazy_import.lazy_import`` function to create on-demand
5928
objects. This allows all imports to stay at the global scope, but
5929
modules will not actually be imported if they are not used.
5930
(John Arbash Meinel)
5932
* Support ``bzr://`` and ``bzr+ssh://`` urls to work with the new RPC-based
5933
transport which will be used with the upcoming high-performance smart
5934
server. The new command ``bzr serve`` will invoke bzr in server mode,
5935
which processes these requests. (Andrew Bennetts, Robert Collins, Martin
5938
* New command ``bzr version-info`` which can be used to get a summary
5939
of the current state of the tree. This is especially useful as part
5940
of a build commands. See ``doc/version_info.txt`` for more information
5941
(John Arbash Meinel)
5945
* ``'bzr inventory [FILE...]'`` allows restricting the file list to a
5946
specific set of files. (John Arbash Meinel, #3631)
5948
* Don't abort when annotating empty files (John Arbash Meinel, #56814)
5950
* Add ``Stanza.to_unicode()`` which can be passed to another Stanza
5951
when nesting stanzas. Also, add ``read_stanza_unicode`` to handle when
5952
reading a nested Stanza. (John Arbash Meinel)
5954
* Transform._set_mode() needs to stat the right file.
5955
(John Arbash Meinel, #56549)
5957
* Raise WeaveFormatError rather than StopIteration when trying to read
5958
an empty Weave file. (John Arbash Meinel, #46871)
5960
* Don't access e.code for generic URLErrors, only HTTPErrors have .code.
5961
(Vincent Ladeuil, #59835)
5963
* Handle boundary="" lines properly to allow access through a Squid proxy.
5964
(John Arbash Meinel, #57723)
5966
* revert now removes newly-added directories (Aaron Bentley, #54172)
5968
* ``bzr upgrade sftp://`` shouldn't fail to upgrade v6 branches if there
5969
isn't a working tree. (David Allouche, #40679)
5971
* Give nicer error messages when a user supplies an invalid --revision
5972
parameter. (John Arbash Meinel, #55420)
5974
* Handle when LANG is not recognized by python. Emit a warning, but
5975
just revert to using 'ascii'. (John Arbash Meinel, #35392)
5977
* Don't use ``preexec_fn`` on win32, as it is not supported by subprocess.
5978
(John Arbash Meinel)
5980
* Skip specific tests when the dependencies aren't met. This includes
5981
some ``setup.py`` tests when ``python-dev`` is not available, and
5982
some tests that depend on paramiko. (John Arbash Meinel, Mattheiu Moy)
5984
* Fallback to Paramiko properly, if no ``ssh`` executable exists on
5985
the system. (Andrew Bennetts, John Arbash Meinel)
5987
* ``Branch.bind(other_branch)`` no longer takes a write lock on the
5988
other branch, and will not push or pull between the two branches.
5989
API users will need to perform a push or pull or update operation if they
5990
require branch synchronisation to take place. (Robert Collins, #47344)
5992
* When creating a tarball or zipfile export, export unicode names as utf-8
5993
paths. This may not work perfectly on all platforms, but has the best
5994
chance of working in the common case. (John Arbash Meinel, #56816)
5996
* When committing, only files that exist in working tree or basis tree
5997
may be specified (Aaron Bentley, #50793)
6001
* Fixes to run on Python 2.5 (Brian M. Carlson, Martin Pool, Marien Zwart)
6005
* TestCaseInTempDir now creates a separate directory for HOME, rather
6006
than having HOME set to the same location as the working directory.
6007
(John Arbash Meinel)
6009
* ``run_bzr_subprocess()`` can take an optional ``env_changes={}`` parameter,
6010
which will update os.environ inside the spawned child. It also can
6011
take a ``universal_newlines=True``, which helps when checking the output
6012
of the command. (John Arbash Meinel)
6014
* Refactor SFTP vendors to allow easier re-use when ssh is used.
6017
* ``Transport.list_dir()`` and ``Transport.iter_files_recursive()`` should always
6018
return urlescaped paths. This is now tested (there were bugs in a few
6019
of the transports) (Andrew Bennetts, David Allouche, John Arbash Meinel)
6021
* New utility function ``symbol_versioning.deprecation_string``. Returns the
6022
formatted string for a callable, deprecation format pair. (Robert Collins)
6024
* New TestCase helper applyDeprecated. This allows you to call a callable
6025
which is deprecated without it spewing to the screen, just by supplying
6026
the deprecation format string issued for it. (Robert Collins)
6028
* Transport.append and Transport.put have been deprecated in favor of
6029
``.append_bytes``, ``.append_file``, ``.put_bytes``, and
6030
``.put_file``. This removes the ambiguity in what type of object the
6031
functions take. ``Transport.non_atomic_put_{bytes,file}`` has also
6032
been added. Which works similarly to ``Transport.append()`` except for
6033
SFTP, it doesn't have a round trip when opening the file. Also, it
6034
provides functionality for creating a parent directory when trying
6035
to create a file, rather than raise NoSuchFile and forcing the
6036
caller to repeat their request.
6037
(John Arbash Meinel)
6039
* WorkingTree has a new api ``unversion`` which allow the unversioning of
6040
entries by their file id. (Robert Collins)
6042
* ``WorkingTree.pending_merges`` is deprecated. Please use the
6043
``get_parent_ids`` (introduced in 0.10) method instead. (Robert Collins)
6045
* WorkingTree has a new ``lock_tree_write`` method which locks the branch for
6046
read rather than write. This is appropriate for actions which only need
6047
the branch data for reference rather than mutation. A new decorator
6048
``needs_tree_write_lock`` is provided in the workingtree module. Like the
6049
``needs_read_lock`` and ``needs_write_lock`` decorators this allows static
6050
declaration of the locking requirements of a function to ensure that
6051
a lock is taken out for casual scripts. (Robert Collins, #54107)
6053
* All WorkingTree methods which write to the tree, but not to the branch
6054
have been converted to use ``needs_tree_write_lock`` rather than
6055
``needs_write_lock``. Also converted is the revert, conflicts and tree
6056
transform modules. This provides a modest performance improvement on
6057
metadir style trees, due to the reduce lock-acquisition, and a more
6058
significant performance improvement on lightweight checkouts from
6059
remote branches, where trivial operations used to pay a significant
6060
penalty. It also provides the basis for allowing readonly checkouts.
6063
* Special case importing the standard library 'copy' module. This shaves
6064
off 40ms of startup time, while retaining compatibility. See:
6065
``bzrlib/inspect_for_copy.py`` for more details. (John Arbash Meinel)
6067
* WorkingTree has a new parent class MutableTree which represents the
6068
specialisations of Tree which are able to be altered. (Robert Collins)
6070
* New methods mkdir and ``put_file_bytes_non_atomic`` on MutableTree that
6071
mutate the tree and its contents. (Robert Collins)
6073
* Transport behaviour at the root of the URL is now defined and tested.
6074
(Andrew Bennetts, Robert Collins)
6078
* New test helper classs MemoryTree. This is typically accessed via
6079
``self.make_branch_and_memory_tree()`` in test cases. (Robert Collins)
6081
* Add ``start_bzr_subprocess`` and ``stop_bzr_subprocess`` to allow test
6082
code to continue running concurrently with a subprocess of bzr.
6083
(Andrew Bennetts, Robert Collins)
6085
* Add a new method ``Transport.get_smart_client()``. This is provided to
6086
allow upgrades to a richer interface than the VFS one provided by
6087
Transport. (Andrew Bennetts, Martin Pool)
6090
--------------------
6093
* 'merge' now takes --uncommitted, to apply uncommitted changes from a
6094
tree. (Aaron Bentley)
6096
* 'bzr add --file-ids-from' can be used to specify another path to use
6097
for creating file ids, rather than generating all new ones. Internally,
6098
the 'action' passed to ``smart_add_tree()`` can return ``file_ids`` that
6099
will be used, rather than having bzrlib generate new ones.
6100
(John Arbash Meinel, #55781)
6102
* ``bzr selftest --benchmark`` now allows a ``--cache-dir`` parameter.
6103
This will cache some of the intermediate trees, and decrease the
6104
setup time for benchmark tests. (John Arbash Meinel)
6106
* Inverse forms are provided for all boolean options. For example,
6107
--strict has --no-strict, --no-recurse has --recurse (Aaron Bentley)
6109
* Serialize out Inventories directly, rather than using ElementTree.
6110
Writing out a kernel sized inventory drops from 2s down to ~350ms.
6111
(Robert Collins, John Arbash Meinel)
6115
* Help diffutils 2.8.4 get along with binary tests (Marien Zwart: #57614)
6117
* Change LockDir so that if the lock directory doesn't exist when
6118
``lock_write()`` is called, an attempt will be made to create it.
6119
(John Arbash Meinel, #56974)
6121
* ``bzr uncommit`` preserves pending merges. (John Arbash Meinel, #57660)
6123
* Active FTP transport now works as intended. (ghozzy, #56472)
6125
* Really fix mutter() so that it won't ever raise a UnicodeError.
6126
It means it is possible for ~/.bzr.log to contain non UTF-8 characters.
6127
But it is a debugging log, not a real user file.
6128
(John Arbash Meinel, #56947, #53880)
6130
* Change Command handle to allow Unicode command and options.
6131
At present we cannot register Unicode command names, so we will get
6132
BzrCommandError('unknown command'), or BzrCommandError('unknown option')
6133
But that is better than a UnicodeError + a traceback.
6134
(John Arbash Meinel, #57123)
6136
* Handle TZ=UTC properly when reading/writing revisions.
6137
(John Arbash Meinel, #55783, #56290)
6139
* Use ``GPG_TTY`` to allow gpg --cl to work with gpg-agent in a pipeline,
6140
(passing text to sign in on stdin). (John Arbash Meinel, #54468)
6142
* External diff does the right thing for binaries even in foreign
6143
languages. (John Arbash Meinel, #56307)
6145
* Testament handles more cases when content is unicode. Specific bug was
6146
in handling of revision properties.
6147
(John Arbash Meinel, Holger Krekel, #54723)
6149
* The bzr selftest was failing on installed versions due to a bug in a new
6150
test helper. (John Arbash Meinel, Robert Collins, #58057)
6154
* ``bzrlib.cache_utf8`` contains ``encode()`` and ``decode()`` functions
6155
which can be used to cache the conversion between utf8 and Unicode.
6156
Especially helpful for some of the knit annotation code, which has to
6157
convert revision ids to utf8 to annotate lines in storage.
6158
(John Arbash Meinel)
6160
* ``setup.py`` now searches the filesystem to find all packages which
6161
need to be installed. This should help make the life of packagers
6162
easier. (John Arbash Meinel)
6164
bzr 0.9.0 2006-08-11
6165
---------------------
6169
* The hard-coded built-in ignore rules have been removed. There are
6170
now two rulesets which are enforced. A user global one in
6171
``~/.bazaar/ignore`` which will apply to every tree, and the tree
6172
specific one '.bzrignore'.
6173
``~/.bazaar/ignore`` will be created if it does not exist, but with
6174
a more conservative list than the old default.
6175
This fixes bugs with default rules being enforced no matter what.
6176
The old list of ignore rules from bzr is available by
6177
running 'bzr ignore --old-default-rules'.
6178
(Robert Collins, Martin Pool, John Arbash Meinel)
6180
* 'branches.conf' has been changed to 'locations.conf', since it can apply
6181
to more locations than just branch locations.
6186
* The revision specifier "revno:" is extended to accept the syntax
6187
revno:N:branch. For example,
6188
revno:42:http://bazaar-vcs.org/bzr/bzr.dev/ means revision 42 in
6189
bzr.dev. (Matthieu Moy)
6191
* Tests updates to ensure proper URL handling, UNICODE support, and
6192
proper printing when the user's terminal encoding cannot display
6193
the path of a file that has been versioned.
6194
``bzr branch`` can take a target URL rather than only a local directory.
6195
``Branch.get_parent()/set_parent()`` now save a relative path if possible,
6196
and normalize the parent based on root, allowing access across
6197
different transports. (John Arbash Meinel, Wouter van Heyst, Martin Pool)
6198
(Malone #48906, #42699, #40675, #5281, #3980, #36363, #43689,
6201
* On Unix, detect terminal width using an ioctl not just $COLUMNS.
6202
Use terminal width for single-line logs from ``bzr log --line`` and
6203
pending-merge display. (Robert Widhopf-Fenk, Gustavo Niemeyer)
6206
* On Windows, detect terminal width using GetConsoleScreenBufferInfo.
6207
(Alexander Belchenko)
6209
* Speedup improvement for 'date:'-revision search. (Guillaume Pinot).
6211
* Show the correct number of revisions pushed when pushing a new branch.
6214
* 'bzr selftest' now shows a progress bar with the number of tests, and
6215
progress made. 'make check' shows tests in -v mode, to be more useful
6216
for the PQM status window. (Robert Collins).
6217
When using a progress bar, failed tests are printed out, rather than
6218
being overwritten by the progress bar until the suite finishes.
6219
(John Arbash Meinel)
6221
* 'bzr selftest --benchmark' will run a new benchmarking selftest.
6222
'bzr selftest --benchmark --lsprof-timed' will use lsprofile to generate
6223
profile data for the individual profiled calls, allowing for fine
6224
grained analysis of performance.
6225
(Robert Collins, Martin Pool).
6227
* 'bzr commit' shows a progress bar. This is useful for commits over sftp
6228
where commit can take an appreciable time. (Robert Collins)
6230
* 'bzr add' is now less verbose in telling you what ignore globs were
6231
matched by files being ignored. Instead it just tells you how many
6232
were ignored (because you might reasonably be expecting none to be
6233
ignored). 'bzr add -v' is unchanged and will report every ignored
6234
file. (Robert Collins).
6236
* ftp now has a test server if medusa is installed. As part of testing,
6237
ftp support has been improved, including support for supplying a
6238
non-standard port. (John Arbash Meinel).
6240
* 'bzr log --line' shows the revision number, and uses only the
6241
first line of the log message (#5162, Alexander Belchenko;
6244
* 'bzr status' has had the --all option removed. The 'bzr ls' command
6245
should be used to retrieve all versioned files. (Robert Collins)
6247
* 'bzr bundle OTHER/BRANCH' will create a bundle which can be sent
6248
over email, and applied on the other end, while maintaining ancestry.
6249
This bundle can be applied with either 'bzr merge' or 'bzr pull',
6250
the same way you would apply another branch.
6251
(John Arbash Meinel, Aaron Bentley)
6253
* 'bzr whoami' can now be used to set your identity from the command line,
6254
for a branch or globally. (Robey Pointer)
6256
* 'bzr checkout' now aliased to 'bzr co', and 'bzr annotate' to 'bzr ann'.
6259
* 'bzr revert DIRECTORY' now reverts the contents of the directory as well.
6262
* 'bzr get sftp://foo' gives a better error when paramiko is not present.
6263
Also updates things like 'http+pycurl://' if pycurl is not present.
6264
(John Arbash Meinel) (Malone #47821, #52204)
6266
* New env variable ``BZR_PROGRESS_BAR``, sets the default progress bar type.
6267
Can be set to 'none' or 'dummy' to disable the progress bar, 'dots' or
6268
'tty' to create the respective type. (John Arbash Meinel, #42197, #51107)
6270
* Improve the help text for 'bzr diff' to explain what various options do.
6271
(John Arbash Meinel, #6391)
6273
* 'bzr uncommit -r 10' now uncommits revisions 11.. rather than uncommitting
6274
revision 10. This makes -r10 more in line with what other commands do.
6275
'bzr uncommit' also now saves the pending merges of the revisions that
6276
were removed. So it is safe to uncommit after a merge, fix something,
6277
and commit again. (John Arbash Meinel, #32526, #31426)
6279
* 'bzr init' now also works on remote locations.
6280
(Wouter van Heyst, #48904)
6282
* HTTP support has been updated. When using pycurl we now support
6283
connection keep-alive, which reduces dns requests and round trips.
6284
And for both urllib and pycurl we support multi-range requests,
6285
which decreases the number of round-trips. Performance results for
6286
``bzr branch http://bazaar-vcs.org/bzr/bzr.dev/`` indicate
6287
http branching is now 2-3x faster, and ``bzr pull`` in an existing
6288
branch is as much as 4x faster.
6289
(Michael Ellerman, Johan Rydberg, John Arbash Meinel, #46768)
6291
* Performance improvements for sftp. Branching and pulling are now up to
6292
2x faster. Utilize paramiko.readv() support for async requests if it
6293
is available (paramiko > 1.6) (John Arbash Meinel)
6297
* Fix shadowed definition of TestLocationConfig that caused some
6299
(Erik Bågfors, Michael Ellerman, Martin Pool, #32587)
6301
* Fix unnecessary requirement of sign-my-commits that it be run from
6302
a working directory. (Martin Pool, Robert Collins)
6304
* 'bzr push location' will only remember the push location if it succeeds
6305
in connecting to the remote location. (John Arbash Meinel, #49742)
6307
* 'bzr revert' no longer toggles the executable bit on win32
6308
(John Arbash Meinel, #45010)
6310
* Handle broken pipe under win32 correctly. (John Arbash Meinel)
6312
* sftp tests now work correctly on win32 if you have a newer paramiko
6313
(John Arbash Meinel)
6315
* Cleanup win32 test suite, and general cleanup of places where
6316
file handles were being held open. (John Arbash Meinel)
6318
* When specifying filenames for 'diff -r x..y', the name of the file in the
6319
working directory can be used, even if its name is different in both x
6322
* File-ids containing single- or double-quotes are handled correctly by
6323
push. (Aaron Bentley, #52227)
6325
* Normalize unicode filenames to ensure cross-platform consistency.
6326
(John Arbash Meinel, #43689)
6328
* The argument parser can now handle '-' as an argument. Currently
6329
no code interprets it specially (it is mostly handled as a file named
6330
'-'). But plugins, and future operations can use it.
6331
(John Arbash meinel, #50984)
6333
* Bundles can properly read binary files with a plain '\r' in them.
6334
(John Arbash Meinel, #51927)
6336
* Tuning ``iter_entries()`` to be more efficient (John Arbash Meinel, #5444)
6338
* Lots of win32 fixes (the test suite passes again).
6339
(John Arbash Meinel, #50155)
6341
* Handle openbsd returning None for sys.getfilesystemencoding() (#41183)
6343
* Support ftp APPE (append) to allow Knits to be used over ftp (#42592)
6345
* Removals are only committed if they match the filespec (or if there is
6346
no filespec). (#46635, Aaron Bentley)
6348
* smart-add recurses through all supplied directories
6349
(John Arbash Meinel, #52578)
6351
* Make the bundle reader extra lines before and after the bundle text.
6352
This allows you to parse an email with the bundle inline.
6353
(John Arbash Meinel, #49182)
6355
* Change the file id generator to squash a little bit more. Helps when
6356
working with long filenames on windows. (Also helps for unicode filenames
6357
not generating hidden files). (John Arbash Meinel, #43801)
6359
* Restore terminal mode on C-c while reading sftp password. (#48923,
6360
Nicholas Allen, Martin Pool)
6362
* Timestamps are rounded to 1ms, and revision entries can be recreated
6363
exactly. (John Arbash Meinel, Jamie Wilkinson, #40693)
6365
* Branch.base has changed to a URL, but ~/.bazaar/locations.conf should
6366
use local paths, since it is user visible (John Arbash Meinel, #53653)
6368
* ``bzr status foo`` when foo was unversioned used to cause a full delta
6369
to be generated (John Arbash Meinel, #53638)
6371
* When reading revision properties, an empty value should be considered
6372
the empty string, not None (John Arbash Meinel, #47782)
6374
* ``bzr diff --diff-options`` can now handle binary files being changed.
6375
Also, the output is consistent when --diff-options is not supplied.
6376
(John Arbash Meinel, #54651, #52930)
6378
* Use the right suffixes for loading plugins (John Arbash Meinel, #51810)
6380
* Fix ``Branch.get_parent()`` to handle the case when the parent is not
6381
accessible (John Arbash Meinel, #52976)
6385
* Combine the ignore rules into a single regex rather than looping over
6386
them to reduce the threshold where N^2 behaviour occurs in operations
6387
like status. (Jan Hudec, Robert Collins).
6389
* Appending to ``bzrlib.DEFAULT_IGNORE`` is now deprecated. Instead, use
6390
one of the add functions in bzrlib.ignores. (John Arbash Meinel)
6392
* 'bzr push' should only push the ancestry of the current revision, not
6393
all of the history in the repository. This is especially important for
6394
shared repositories. (John Arbash Meinel)
6396
* ``bzrlib.delta.compare_trees`` now iterates in alphabetically sorted order,
6397
rather than randomly walking the inventories. (John Arbash Meinel)
6399
* Doctests are now run in temporary directories which are cleaned up when
6400
they finish, rather than using special ScratchDir/ScratchBranch objects.
6403
* Split ``check`` into separate methods on the branch and on the repository,
6404
so that it can be specialized in ways that are useful or efficient for
6405
different formats. (Martin Pool, Robert Collins)
6407
* Deprecate ``Repository.all_revision_ids``; most methods don't really need
6408
the global revision graph but only that part leading up to a particular
6409
revision. (Martin Pool, Robert Collins)
6411
* Add a BzrDirFormat ``control_formats`` list which allows for control formats
6412
that do not use '.bzr' to store their data - i.e. '.svn', '.hg' etc.
6413
(Robert Collins, Jelmer Vernooij).
6415
* ``bzrlib.diff.external_diff`` can be redirected to any file-like object.
6416
Uses subprocess instead of spawnvp.
6417
(James Henstridge, John Arbash Meinel, #4047, #48914)
6419
* New command line option '--profile-imports', which will install a custom
6420
importer to log time to import modules and regex compilation time to
6421
sys.stderr (John Arbash Meinel)
6423
* 'EmptyTree' is now deprecated, please use ``repository.revision_tree(None)``
6424
instead. (Robert Collins)
6426
* "RevisionTree" is now in bzrlib/revisiontree.py. (Robert Collins)
6428
bzr 0.8.2 2006-05-17
6429
---------------------
6433
* setup.py failed to install launchpad plugin. (Martin Pool)
6435
bzr 0.8.1 2006-05-16
6436
---------------------
6440
* Fix failure to commit a merge in a checkout. (Martin Pool,
6441
Robert Collins, Erik Bågfors, #43959)
6443
* Nicer messages from 'commit' in the case of renames, and correct
6444
messages when a merge has occured. (Robert Collins, Martin Pool)
6446
* Separate functionality from assert statements as they are skipped in
6447
optimized mode of python. Add the same check to pending merges.
6448
(Olaf Conradi, #44443)
6452
* Do not show the None revision in output of bzr ancestry. (Olaf Conradi)
6454
* Add info on standalone branches without a working tree.
6455
(Olaf Conradi, #44155)
6457
* Fix bug in knits when raising InvalidRevisionId. (Olaf Conradi, #44284)
6461
* Make editor invocation comply with Debian Policy. First check
6462
environment variables VISUAL and EDITOR, then try editor from
6463
alternatives system. If that all fails, fall back to the pre-defined
6464
list of editors. (Olaf Conradi, #42904)
6468
* New 'register-branch' command registers a public branch into
6469
Launchpad.net, where it can be associated with bugs, etc.
6470
(Martin Pool, Bjorn Tillenius, Robert Collins)
6474
* New public api in InventoryEntry - ``describe_change(old, new)`` which
6475
provides a human description of the changes between two old and
6476
new. (Robert Collins, Martin Pool)
6480
* Fix test case for bzr info in upgrading a standalone branch to metadir,
6481
uses bzrlib api now. (Olaf Conradi)
6486
NOTES WHEN UPGRADING:
6488
Release 0.8 of bzr introduces a new format for history storage, called
6489
'knit', as an evolution of to the 'weave' format used in 0.7. Local
6490
and remote operations are faster using knits than weaves. Several
6491
operations including 'init', 'init-repo', and 'upgrade' take a
6492
--format option that controls this. Branching from an existing branch
6493
will keep the same format.
6495
It is possible to merge, pull and push between branches of different
6496
formats but this is slower than moving data between homogenous
6497
branches. It is therefore recommended (but not required) that you
6498
upgrade all branches for a project at the same time. Information on
6499
formats is shown by 'bzr info'.
6501
bzr 0.8 now allows creation of 'repositories', which hold the history
6502
of files and revisions for several branches. Previously bzr kept all
6503
the history for a branch within the .bzr directory at the root of the
6504
branch, and this is still the default. To create a repository, use
6505
the new 'bzr init-repo' command. Branches exist as directories under
6506
the repository and contain just a small amount of information
6507
indicating the current revision of the branch.
6509
bzr 0.8 also supports 'checkouts', which are similar to in cvs and
6510
subversion. Checkouts are associated with a branch (optionally in a
6511
repository), which contains all the historical information. The
6512
result is that a checkout can be deleted without losing any
6513
already-committed revisions. A new 'update' command is also available.
6515
Repositories and checkouts are not supported with the 0.7 storage
6516
format. To use them you must upgrad to either knits, or to the
6517
'metaweave' format, which uses weaves but changes the .bzr directory
6523
* Sftp paths can now be relative, or local, according to the lftp
6524
convention. Paths now take the form::
6526
sftp://user:pass@host:port/~/relative/path
6528
sftp://user:pass@host:port/absolute/path
6530
* The FTP transport now tries to reconnect after a temporary
6531
failure. ftp put is made atomic. (Matthieu Moy)
6533
* The FTP transport now maintains a pool of connections, and
6534
reuses them to avoid multiple connections to the same host (like
6535
sftp did). (Daniel Silverstone)
6537
* The ``bzr_man.py`` file has been removed. To create the man page now,
6538
use ``./generate_docs.py man``. The new program can also create other files.
6539
Run ``python generate_docs.py --help`` for usage information.
6540
(Hans Ulrich Niedermann & James Blackwell).
6542
* Man Page now gives full help (James Blackwell).
6543
Help also updated to reflect user config now being stored in .bazaar
6544
(Hans Ulrich Niedermann)
6546
* It's now possible to set aliases in bazaar.conf (Erik Bågfors)
6548
* Pull now accepts a --revision argument (Erik Bågfors)
6550
* ``bzr re-sign`` now allows multiple revisions to be supplied on the command
6551
line. You can now use the following command to sign all of your old
6554
find .bzr/revision-store// -name my@email-* \
6555
| sed 's/.*\/\/..\///' \
6558
* Upgrade can now upgrade over the network. (Robert Collins)
6560
* Two new commands 'bzr checkout' and 'bzr update' allow for CVS/SVN-alike
6561
behaviour. By default they will cache history in the checkout, but
6562
with --lightweight almost all data is kept in the master branch.
6565
* 'revert' unversions newly-versioned files, instead of deleting them.
6567
* 'merge' is more robust. Conflict messages have changed.
6569
* 'merge' and 'revert' no longer clobber existing files that end in '~' or
6572
* Default log format can be set in configuration and plugins can register
6573
their own formatters. (Erik Bågfors)
6575
* New 'reconcile' command will check branch consistency and repair indexes
6576
that can become out of sync in pre 0.8 formats. (Robert Collins,
6579
* New 'bzr init --format' and 'bzr upgrade --format' option to control
6580
what storage format is created or produced. (Robert Collins,
6583
* Add parent location to 'bzr info', if there is one. (Olaf Conradi)
6585
* New developer commands 'weave-list' and 'weave-join'. (Martin Pool)
6587
* New 'init-repository' command, plus support for repositories in 'init'
6588
and 'branch' (Aaron Bentley, Erik Bågfors, Robert Collins)
6590
* Improve output of 'info' command. Show all relevant locations related to
6591
working tree, branch and repository. Use kibibytes for binary quantities.
6592
Fix off-by-one error in missing revisions of working tree. Make 'info'
6593
work on branches, repositories and remote locations. Show locations
6594
relative to the shared repository, if applicable. Show locking status
6595
of locations. (Olaf Conradi)
6597
* Diff and merge now safely handle binary files. (Aaron Bentley)
6599
* 'pull' and 'push' now normalise the revision history, so that any two
6600
branches with the same tip revision will have the same output from 'log'.
6603
* 'merge' accepts --remember option to store parent location, like 'push'
6604
and 'pull'. (Olaf Conradi)
6606
* bzr status and diff when files given as arguments do not exist
6607
in the relevant trees. (Martin Pool, #3619)
6609
* Add '.hg' to the default ignore list. (Martin Pool)
6611
* 'knit' is now the default disk format. This improves disk performance and
6612
utilization, increases incremental pull performance, robustness with SFTP
6613
and allows checkouts over SFTP to perform acceptably.
6614
The initial Knit code was contributed by Johan Rydberg based on a
6615
specification by Martin Pool.
6616
(Robert Collins, Aaron Bentley, Johan Rydberg, Martin Pool).
6618
* New tool to generate all-in-one html version of the manual. (Alexander
6621
* Hitting CTRL-C while doing an SFTP push will no longer cause stale locks
6622
to be left in the SFTP repository. (Robert Collins, Martin Pool).
6624
* New option 'diff --prefix' to control how files are named in diff
6625
output, with shortcuts '-p0' and '-p1' corresponding to the options for
6626
GNU patch. (Alexander Belchenko, Goffredo Baroncelli, Martin Pool)
6628
* Add --revision option to 'annotate' command. (Olaf Conradi)
6630
* If bzr shows an unexpected revision-history after pulling (perhaps due
6631
to a reweave) it can now be corrected by 'bzr reconcile'.
6636
* Commit is now verbose by default, and shows changed filenames and the
6637
new revision number. (Robert Collins, Martin Pool)
6639
* Unify 'mv', 'move', 'rename'. (Matthew Fuller, #5379)
6641
* 'bzr -h' shows help. (Martin Pool, Ian Bicking, #35940)
6643
* Make 'pull' and 'push' remember location on failure using --remember.
6646
* For compatibility, make old format for using weaves inside metadir
6647
available as 'metaweave' format. Rename format 'metadir' to 'default'.
6648
Clean up help for option --format in commands 'init', 'init-repo' and
6649
'upgrade'. (Olaf Conradi)
6653
* The internal storage of history, and logical branch identity have now
6654
been split into Branch, and Repository. The common locking and file
6655
management routines are now in bzrlib.lockablefiles.
6656
(Aaron Bentley, Robert Collins, Martin Pool)
6658
* Transports can now raise DependencyNotPresent if they need a library
6659
which is not installed, and then another implementation will be
6660
tried. (Martin Pool)
6662
* Remove obsolete (and no-op) `decode` parameter to `Transport.get`.
6665
* Using Tree Transform for merge, revert, tree-building
6667
* WorkingTree.create, Branch.create, ``WorkingTree.create_standalone``,
6668
Branch.initialize are now deprecated. Please see ``BzrDir.create_*`` for
6669
replacement API's. (Robert Collins)
6671
* New BzrDir class represents the .bzr control directory and manages
6672
formatting issues. (Robert Collins)
6674
* New repository.InterRepository class encapsulates Repository to
6675
Repository actions and allows for clean selection of optimised code
6676
paths. (Robert Collins)
6678
* ``bzrlib.fetch.fetch`` and ``bzrlib.fetch.greedy_fetch`` are now
6679
deprecated, please use ``branch.fetch`` or ``repository.fetch``
6680
depending on your needs. (Robert Collins)
6682
* deprecated methods now have a ``is_deprecated`` flag on them that can
6683
be checked, if you need to determine whether a given callable is
6684
deprecated at runtime. (Robert Collins)
6686
* Progress bars are now nested - see
6687
``bzrlib.ui.ui_factory.nested_progress_bar``.
6688
(Robert Collins, Robey Pointer)
6690
* New API call ``get_format_description()`` for each type of format.
6693
* Changed ``branch.set_parent()`` to accept None to remove parent.
6696
* Deprecated BzrError AmbiguousBase. (Olaf Conradi)
6698
* WorkingTree.branch is now a read only property. (Robert Collins)
6700
* bzrlib.ui.text.TextUIFactory now accepts a ``bar_type`` parameter which
6701
can be None or a factory that will create a progress bar. This is
6702
useful for testing or for overriding the bzrlib.progress heuristic.
6705
* New API method ``get_physical_lock_status()`` to query locks present on a
6706
transport. (Olaf Conradi)
6708
* Repository.reconcile now takes a thorough keyword parameter to allow
6709
requesting an indepth reconciliation, rather than just a data-loss
6710
check. (Robert Collins)
6712
* ``bzrlib.ui.ui_factory protocol`` now supports ``get_boolean`` to prompt
6713
the user for yes/no style input. (Robert Collins)
6717
* SFTP tests now shortcut the SSH negotiation, reducing test overhead
6718
for testing SFTP protocol support. (Robey Pointer)
6720
* Branch formats are now tested once per implementation (see ``bzrlib.
6721
tests.branch_implementations``. This is analagous to the transport
6722
interface tests, and has been followed up with working tree,
6723
repository and BzrDir tests. (Robert Collins)
6725
* New test base class TestCaseWithTransport provides a transport aware
6726
test environment, useful for testing any transport-interface using
6727
code. The test suite option --transport controls the transport used
6728
by this class (when its not being used as part of implementation
6729
contract testing). (Robert Collins)
6731
* Close logging handler on disabling the test log. This will remove the
6732
handler from the internal list inside python's logging module,
6733
preventing shutdown from closing it twice. (Olaf Conradi)
6735
* Move test case for uncommit to blackbox tests. (Olaf Conradi)
6737
* ``run_bzr`` and ``run_bzr_captured`` now accept a 'stdin="foo"'
6738
parameter which will provide String("foo") to the command as its stdin.
6745
* .bzrignore is excluded from exports, on the grounds that it's a bzr
6746
internal-use file and may not be wanted. (Jamie Wilkinson)
6748
* The "bzr directories" command were removed in favor of the new
6749
--kind option to the "bzr inventory" command. To list all
6750
versioned directories, now use "bzr inventory --kind directory".
6753
* Under Windows configuration directory is now ``%APPDATA%\bazaar\2.0``
6754
by default. (John Arbash Meinel)
6756
* The parent of Bzr configuration directory can be set by ``BZR_HOME``
6757
environment variable. Now the path for it is searched in ``BZR_HOME``,
6758
then in HOME. Under Windows the order is: ``BZR_HOME``, ``APPDATA``
6759
(usually points to ``C:\Documents and Settings\User Name\Application Data``),
6760
``HOME``. (John Arbash Meinel)
6762
* Plugins with the same name in different directories in the bzr plugin
6763
path are no longer loaded: only the first successfully loaded one is
6764
used. (Robert Collins)
6766
* Use systems' external ssh command to open connections if possible.
6767
This gives better integration with user settings such as ProxyCommand.
6770
* Permissions on files underneath .bzr/ are inherited from the .bzr
6771
directory. So for a shared repository, simply doing 'chmod -R g+w .bzr/'
6772
will mean that future file will be created with group write permissions.
6774
* configure.in and config.guess are no longer in the builtin default
6777
* '.sw[nop]' pattern ignored, to ignore vim swap files for nameless
6778
files. (John Arbash Meinel, Martin Pool)
6782
* "bzr INIT dir" now initializes the specified directory, and creates
6783
it if it does not exist. (John Arbash Meinel)
6785
* New remerge command (Aaron Bentley)
6787
* Better zsh completion script. (Steve Borho)
6789
* 'bzr diff' now returns 1 when there are changes in the working
6790
tree. (Robert Collins)
6792
* 'bzr push' now exists and can push changes to a remote location.
6793
This uses the transport infrastructure, and can store the remote
6794
location in the ~/.bazaar/branches.conf configuration file.
6797
* Test directories are only kept if the test fails and the user requests
6800
* Tweaks to short log printing
6802
* Added branch nicks, new nick command, printing them in log output.
6805
* If ``$BZR_PDB`` is set, pop into the debugger when an uncaught exception
6806
occurs. (Martin Pool)
6808
* Accept 'bzr resolved' (an alias for 'bzr resolve'), as this is
6809
the same as Subversion. (Martin Pool)
6811
* New ftp transport support (on ftplib), for ftp:// and aftp://
6812
URLs. (Daniel Silverstone)
6814
* Commit editor temporary files now start with ``bzr_log.``, to allow
6815
text editors to match the file name and set up appropriate modes or
6816
settings. (Magnus Therning)
6818
* Improved performance when integrating changes from a remote weave.
6819
(Goffredo Baroncelli)
6821
* Sftp will attempt to cache the connection, so it is more likely that
6822
a connection will be reused, rather than requiring multiple password
6825
* bzr revno now takes an optional argument indicating the branch whose
6826
revno should be printed. (Michael Ellerman)
6828
* bzr cat defaults to printing the last version of the file.
6829
(Matthieu Moy, #3632)
6831
* New global option 'bzr --lsprof COMMAND' runs bzr under the lsprof
6832
profiler. (Denys Duchier)
6834
* Faster commits by reading only the headers of affected weave files.
6837
* 'bzr add' now takes a --dry-run parameter which shows you what would be
6838
added, but doesn't actually add anything. (Michael Ellerman)
6840
* 'bzr add' now lists how many files were ignored per glob. add --verbose
6841
lists the specific files. (Aaron Bentley)
6843
* 'bzr missing' now supports displaying changes in diverged trees and can
6844
be limited to show what either end of the comparison is missing.
6845
(Aaron Bently, with a little prompting from Daniel Silverstone)
6849
* SFTP can walk up to the root path without index errors. (Robert Collins)
6851
* Fix bugs in running bzr with 'python -O'. (Martin Pool)
6853
* Error when run with -OO
6855
* Fix bug in reporting http errors that don't have an http error code.
6858
* Handle more cases of pipe errors in display commands
6860
* Change status to 3 for all errors
6862
* Files that are added and unlinked before committing are completely
6863
ignored by diff and status
6865
* Stores with some compressed texts and some uncompressed texts are now
6866
able to be used. (John A Meinel)
6868
* Fix for bzr pull failing sometimes under windows
6870
* Fix for sftp transport under windows when using interactive auth
6872
* Show files which are both renamed and modified as such in 'bzr
6873
status' output. (Daniel Silverstone, #4503)
6875
* Make annotate cope better with revisions committed without a valid
6876
email address. (Marien Zwart)
6878
* Fix representation of tab characters in commit messages.
6881
* List of plugin directories in ``BZR_PLUGIN_PATH`` environment variable is
6882
now parsed properly under Windows. (Alexander Belchenko)
6884
* Show number of revisions pushed/pulled/merged. (Robey Pointer)
6886
* Keep a cached copy of the basis inventory to speed up operations
6887
that need to refer to it. (Johan Rydberg, Martin Pool)
6889
* Fix bugs in bzr status display of non-ascii characters.
6892
* Remove Makefile.in from default ignore list.
6893
(Tollef Fog Heen, Martin Pool, #6413)
6895
* Fix failure in 'bzr added'. (Nathan McCallum, Martin Pool)
6899
* Fix selftest asking for passwords when there are no SFTP keys.
6900
(Robey Pointer, Jelmer Vernooij)
6902
* Fix selftest run with 'python -O'. (Martin Pool)
6904
* Fix HTTP tests under Windows. (John Arbash Meinel)
6906
* Make tests work even if HOME is not set (Aaron Bentley)
6908
* Updated ``build_tree`` to use fixed line-endings for tests which read
6909
the file cotents and compare. Make some tests use this to pass under
6910
Windows. (John Arbash Meinel)
6912
* Skip stat and symlink tests under Windows. (Alexander Belchenko)
6914
* Delay in selftest/testhashcash is now issued under win32 and Cygwin.
6915
(John Arbash Meinel)
6917
* Use terminal width to align verbose test output. (Martin Pool)
6919
* Blackbox tests are maintained within the bzrlib.tests.blackbox directory.
6920
If adding a new test script please add that to
6921
``bzrlib.tests.blackbox.__init__``. (Robert Collins)
6923
* Much better error message if one of the test suites can't be
6924
imported. (Martin Pool)
6926
* Make check now runs the test suite twice - once with the default locale,
6927
and once with all locales forced to C, to expose bugs. This is not
6928
trivially done within python, so for now its only triggered by running
6929
Make check. Integrators and packagers who wish to check for full
6930
platform support should run 'make check' to test the source.
6933
* Tests can now run TestSkipped if they can't execute for any reason.
6934
(Martin Pool) (NB: TestSkipped should only be raised for correctable
6935
reasons - see the wiki spec ImprovingBzrTestSuite).
6937
* Test sftp with relative, absolute-in-homedir and absolute-not-in-homedir
6938
paths for the transport tests. Introduce blackbox remote sftp tests that
6939
test the same permutations. (Robert Collins, Robey Pointer)
6941
* Transport implementation tests are now independent of the local file
6942
system, which allows tests for esoteric transports, and for features
6943
not available in the local file system. They also repeat for variations
6944
on the URL scheme that can introduce issues in the transport code,
6945
see bzrlib.transport.TransportTestProviderAdapter() for this.
6948
* ``TestCase.build_tree`` uses the transport interface to build trees,
6949
pass in a transport parameter to give it an existing connection.
6954
* WorkingTree.pull has been split across Branch and WorkingTree,
6955
to allow Branch only pulls. (Robert Collins)
6957
* ``commands.display_command`` now returns the result of the decorated
6958
function. (Robert Collins)
6960
* LocationConfig now has a ``set_user_option(key, value)`` call to save
6961
a setting in its matching location section (a new one is created
6962
if needed). (Robert Collins)
6964
* Branch has two new methods, ``get_push_location`` and
6965
``set_push_location`` to respectively, get and set the push location.
6968
* ``commands.register_command`` now takes an optional flag to signal that
6969
the registrant is planning to decorate an existing command. When
6970
given multiple plugins registering a command is not an error, and
6971
the original command class (whether built in or a plugin based one) is
6972
returned to the caller. There is a new error 'MustUseDecorated' for
6973
signalling when a wrapping command should switch to the original
6974
version. (Robert Collins)
6976
* Some option parsing errors will raise 'BzrOptionError', allowing
6977
granular detection for decorating commands. (Robert Collins).
6979
* ``Branch.read_working_inventory`` has moved to
6980
``WorkingTree.read_working_inventory``. This necessitated changes to
6981
``Branch.get_root_id``, and a move of ``Branch.set_inventory`` to
6982
WorkingTree as well. To make it clear that a WorkingTree cannot always
6983
be obtained ``Branch.working_tree()`` will raise
6984
``errors.NoWorkingTree`` if one cannot be obtained. (Robert Collins)
6986
* All pending merges operations from Branch are now on WorkingTree.
6989
* The follow operations from Branch have moved to WorkingTree::
6999
* ``bzrlib.add.smart_add_branch`` is now ``smart_add_tree``. (Robert Collins)
7001
* New "rio" serialization format, similar to rfc-822. (Martin Pool)
7003
* Rename selftests to ``bzrlib.tests.test_foo``. (John A Meinel, Martin
7006
* ``bzrlib.plugin.all_plugins`` has been changed from an attribute to a
7007
query method. (Robert Collins)
7009
* New options to read only the table-of-contents of a weave.
7012
* Raise NoSuchFile when someone tries to add a non-existant file.
7015
* Simplify handling of DivergedBranches in ``cmd_pull()``.
7018
* Branch.controlfile* logic has moved to lockablefiles.LockableFiles, which
7019
is exposed as ``Branch().control_files``. Also this has been altered with the
7020
controlfile pre/suffix replaced by simple method names like 'get' and
7021
'put'. (Aaron Bentley, Robert Collins).
7023
* Deprecated functions and methods can now be marked as such using the
7024
``bzrlib.symbol_versioning`` module. Marked method have their docstring
7025
updated and will issue a DeprecationWarning using the warnings module
7026
when they are used. (Robert Collins)
7028
* ``bzrlib.osutils.safe_unicode`` now exists to provide parameter coercion
7029
for functions that need unicode strings. (Robert Collins)
7036
* pull now takes --verbose to show you what revisions are added or removed
7039
* merge now takes a --show-base option to include the base text in
7043
* The config files are now read using ConfigObj, so '=' should be used as
7044
a separator, not ':'.
7047
* New 'bzr commit --strict' option refuses to commit if there are
7048
any unknown files in the tree. To commit, make sure all files are
7049
either ignored, added, or deleted. (Michael Ellerman)
7051
* The config directory is now ~/.bazaar, and there is a single file
7052
~/.bazaar/bazaar.conf storing email, editor and other preferences.
7055
* 'bzr add' no longer takes a --verbose option, and a --quiet option
7056
has been added that suppresses all output.
7058
* Improved zsh completion support in contrib/zsh, from Clint
7061
* Builtin 'bzr annotate' command, by Martin Pool with improvements from
7062
Goffredo Baroncelli.
7064
* 'bzr check' now accepts -v for verbose reporting, and checks for
7065
ghosts in the branch. (Robert Collins)
7067
* New command 're-sign' which will regenerate the gpg signature for
7068
a revision. (Robert Collins)
7070
* If you set ``check_signatures=require`` for a path in
7071
``~/.bazaar/branches.conf`` then bzr will invoke your
7072
``gpg_signing_command`` (defaults to gpg) and record a digital signature
7073
of your commit. (Robert Collins)
7075
* New sftp transport, based on Paramiko. (Robey Pointer)
7077
* 'bzr pull' now accepts '--clobber' which will discard local changes
7078
and make this branch identical to the source branch. (Robert Collins)
7080
* Just give a quieter warning if a plugin can't be loaded, and
7081
put the details in .bzr.log. (Martin Pool)
7083
* 'bzr branch' will now set the branch-name to the last component of the
7084
output directory, if one was supplied.
7086
* If the option ``post_commit`` is set to one (or more) python function
7087
names (must be in the bzrlib namespace), then they will be invoked
7088
after the commit has completed, with the branch and ``revision_id`` as
7089
parameters. (Robert Collins)
7091
* Merge now has a retcode of 1 when conflicts occur. (Robert Collins)
7093
* --merge-type weave is now supported for file contents. Tree-shape
7094
changes are still three-way based. (Martin Pool, Aaron Bentley)
7096
* 'bzr check' allows the first revision on revision-history to have
7097
parents - something that is expected for cheap checkouts, and occurs
7098
when conversions from baz do not have all history. (Robert Collins).
7100
* 'bzr merge' can now graft unrelated trees together, if your specify
7101
0 as a base. (Aaron Bentley)
7103
* 'bzr commit branch' and 'bzr commit branch/file1 branch/file2' now work
7106
* Add '.sconsign*' to default ignore list. (Alexander Belchenko)
7108
* 'bzr merge --reprocess' minimizes conflicts
7112
* The 'bzr selftest --pattern' option for has been removed, now
7113
test specifiers on the command line can be simple strings, or
7114
regexps, or both. (Robert Collins)
7116
* Passing -v to selftest will now show the time each test took to
7117
complete, which will aid in analysing performance regressions and
7118
related questions. (Robert Collins)
7120
* 'bzr selftest' runs all tests, even if one fails, unless '--one'
7121
is given. (Martin Pool)
7123
* There is a new method for TestCaseInTempDir, assertFileEqual, which
7124
will check that a given content is equal to the content of the named
7125
file. (Robert Collins)
7127
* Fix test suite's habit of leaving many temporary log files in $TMPDIR.
7132
* New 'testament' command and concept for making gpg-signatures
7133
of revisions that are not tied to a particular internal
7134
representation. (Martin Pool).
7136
* Per-revision properties ('revprops') as key-value associated
7137
strings on each revision created when the revision is committed.
7138
Intended mainly for the use of external tools. (Martin Pool).
7140
* Config options have moved from bzrlib.osutils to bzrlib.config.
7143
* Improved command line option definitions allowing explanations
7144
for individual options, among other things. Contributed by
7147
* Config options have moved from bzrlib.osutils to bzrlib.config.
7148
Configuration is now done via the config.Config interface:
7149
Depending on whether you have a Branch, a Location or no information
7150
available, construct a ``*Config``, and use its ``signature_checking``,
7151
``username`` and ``user_email`` methods. (Robert Collins)
7153
* Plugins are now loaded under bzrlib.plugins, not bzrlib.plugin, and
7154
they are made available for other plugins to use. You should not
7155
import other plugins during the ``__init__`` of your plugin though, as
7156
no ordering is guaranteed, and the plugins directory is not on the
7157
python path. (Robert Collins)
7159
* Branch.relpath has been moved to WorkingTree.relpath. WorkingTree no
7160
no longer takes an inventory, rather it takes an option branch
7161
parameter, and if None is given will open the branch at basedir
7162
implicitly. (Robert Collins)
7164
* Cleaner exception structure and error reporting. Suggested by
7165
Scott James Remnant. (Martin Pool)
7167
* Branch.remove has been moved to WorkingTree, which has also gained
7168
``lock_read``, ``lock_write`` and ``unlock`` methods for convenience.
7171
* Two decorators, ``needs_read_lock`` and ``needs_write_lock`` have been
7172
added to the branch module. Use these to cause a function to run in a
7173
read or write lock respectively. (Robert Collins)
7175
* ``Branch.open_containing`` now returns a tuple (Branch, relative-path),
7176
which allows direct access to the common case of 'get me this file
7177
from its branch'. (Robert Collins)
7179
* Transports can register using ``register_lazy_transport``, and they
7180
will be loaded when first used. (Martin Pool)
7182
* 'pull' has been factored out of the command as ``WorkingTree.pull()``.
7183
A new option to WorkingTree.pull has been added, clobber, which will
7184
ignore diverged history and pull anyway.
7187
* config.Config has a ``get_user_option`` call that accepts an option name.
7188
This will be looked up in branches.conf and bazaar.conf as normal.
7189
It is intended that this be used by plugins to support options -
7190
options of built in programs should have specific methods on the config.
7193
* ``merge.merge_inner`` now has tempdir as an optional parameter.
7196
* Tree.kind is not recorded at the top level of the hierarchy, as it was
7197
missing on EmptyTree, leading to a bug with merge on EmptyTrees.
7200
* ``WorkingTree.__del__`` has been removed, it was non deterministic and not
7201
doing what it was intended to. See ``WorkingTree.__init__`` for a comment
7202
about future directions. (Robert Collins/Martin Pool)
7204
* bzrlib.transport.http has been modified so that only 404 urllib errors
7205
are returned as NoSuchFile. Other exceptions will propogate as normal.
7206
This allows debuging of actual errors. (Robert Collins)
7208
* bzrlib.transport.Transport now accepts *ONLY* url escaped relative paths
7209
to apis like 'put', 'get' and 'has'. This is to provide consistent
7210
behaviour - it operates on url's only. (Robert Collins)
7212
* Transports can register using ``register_lazy_transport``, and they
7213
will be loaded when first used. (Martin Pool)
7215
* ``merge_flex`` no longer calls ``conflict_handler.finalize()``, instead that
7216
is called by ``merge_inner``. This is so that the conflict count can be
7217
retrieved (and potentially manipulated) before returning to the caller
7218
of ``merge_inner``. Likewise 'merge' now returns the conflict count to the
7219
caller. (Robert Collins)
7221
* ``revision.revision_graph`` can handle having only partial history for
7222
a revision - that is no revisions in the graph with no parents.
7225
* New ``builtins.branch_files`` uses the standard ``file_list`` rules to
7226
produce a branch and a list of paths, relative to that branch
7229
* New TestCase.addCleanup facility.
7231
* New ``bzrlib.version_info`` tuple (similar to ``sys.version_info``),
7232
which can be used by programs importing bzrlib.
7236
* Better handling of branches in directories with non-ascii names.
7237
(Joel Rosdahl, Panagiotis Papadakos)
7239
* Upgrades of trees with no commits will not fail due to accessing
7240
[-1] in the revision-history. (Andres Salomon)
7243
bzr 0.1.1 2005-10-12
7244
--------------------
7248
* Fix problem in pulling over http from machines that do not
7249
allow directories to be listed.
7251
* Avoid harmless warning about invalid hash cache after
7252
upgrading branch format.
7256
* Avoid some unnecessary http operations in branch and pull.
7264
* 'bzr branch' over http initially gives a very high estimate
7265
of completion time but it should fall as the first few
7266
revisions are pulled in. branch is still slow on
7267
high-latency connections.
7271
* bzr-man.py has been updated to work again. Contributed by
7274
* Locking is now done with fcntl.lockf which works with NFS
7275
file systems. Contributed by Harald Meland.
7277
* When a merge encounters a file that has been deleted on
7278
one side and modified on the other, the old contents are
7279
written out to foo.BASE and foo.SIDE, where SIDE is this
7280
or OTHER. Contributed by Aaron Bentley.
7282
* Export was choosing incorrect file paths for the content of
7283
the tarball, this has been fixed by Aaron Bentley.
7285
* Commit will no longer commit without a log message, an
7286
error is returned instead. Contributed by Jelmer Vernooij.
7288
* If you commit a specific file in a sub directory, any of its
7289
parent directories that are added but not listed will be
7290
automatically included. Suggested by Michael Ellerman.
7292
* bzr commit and upgrade did not correctly record new revisions
7293
for files with only a change to their executable status.
7294
bzr will correct this when it encounters it. Fixed by
7297
* HTTP tests now force off the use of ``http_proxy`` for the duration.
7298
Contributed by Gustavo Niemeyer.
7300
* Fix problems in merging weave-based branches that have
7301
different partial views of history.
7303
* Symlink support: working with symlinks when not in the root of a
7304
bzr tree was broken, patch from Scott James Remnant.
7308
* 'branch' now accepts a --basis parameter which will take advantage
7309
of local history when making a new branch. This allows faster
7310
branching of remote branches. Contributed by Aaron Bentley.
7312
* New tree format based on weave files, called version 5.
7313
Existing branches can be upgraded to this format using
7316
* Symlinks are now versionable. Initial patch by
7317
Erik Toubro Nielsen, updated to head by Robert Collins.
7319
* Executable bits are tracked on files. Patch from Gustavo
7322
* 'bzr status' now shows unknown files inside a selected directory.
7323
Patch from Heikki Paajanen.
7325
* Merge conflicts are recorded in .bzr. Two new commands 'conflicts'
7326
and 'resolve' have needed added, which list and remove those
7327
merge conflicts respectively. A conflicted tree cannot be committed
7328
in. Contributed by Aaron Bentley.
7330
* 'rm' is now an alias for 'remove'.
7332
* Stores now split out their content in a single byte prefixed hash,
7333
dropping the density of files per directory by 256. Contributed by
7336
* 'bzr diff -r branch:URL' will now perform a diff between two branches.
7337
Contributed by Robert Collins.
7339
* 'bzr log' with the default formatter will show merged revisions,
7340
indented to the right. Initial implementation contributed by Gustavo
7341
Niemeyer, made incremental by Robert Collins.
7346
* Test case failures have the exception printed after the log
7347
for your viewing pleasure.
7349
* InventoryEntry is now an abstract base class, use one of the
7350
concrete InventoryDirectory etc classes instead.
7352
* Branch raises an UnsupportedFormatError when it detects a
7353
bzr branch it cannot understand. This allows for precise
7354
handling of such circumstances.
7356
* Remove RevisionReference class; ``Revision.parent_ids`` is now simply a
7357
list of their ids and ``parent_sha1s`` is a list of their corresponding
7358
sha1s (for old branches only at the moment.)
7360
* New method-object style interface for Commit() and Fetch().
7362
* Renamed ``Branch.last_patch()`` to ``Branch.last_revision()``, since
7363
we call them revisions not patches.
7365
* Move ``copy_branch`` to ``bzrlib.clone.copy_branch``. The destination
7366
directory is created if it doesn't exist.
7368
* Inventories now identify the files which were present by
7369
giving the revision *of that file*.
7371
* Inventory and Revision XML contains a version identifier.
7372
This must be consistent with the overall branch version
7373
but allows for more flexibility in future upgrades.
7377
* Removed testsweet module so that tests can be run after
7378
bzr installed by 'bzr selftest'.
7380
* 'bzr selftest' command-line arguments can now be partial ids
7381
of tests to run, e.g. ``bzr selftest test_weave``
7384
bzr 0.0.9 2005-09-23
7385
--------------------
7389
* Fixed "branch -r" option.
7391
* Fix remote access to branches containing non-compressed history.
7394
* Better reliability of http server tests. (John Arbash-Meinel)
7396
* Merge graph maximum distance calculation fix. (Aaron Bentley)
7398
* Various minor bug in windows support have been fixed, largely in the
7399
test suite. Contributed by Alexander Belchenko.
7403
* Status now accepts a -r argument to give status between chosen
7404
revisions. Contributed by Heikki Paajanen.
7406
* Revision arguments no longer use +/-/= to control ranges, instead
7407
there is a 'before' namespace, which limits the successive namespace.
7408
For example '$ bzr log -r date:yesterday..before:date:today' will
7409
select everything from yesterday and before today. Contributed by
7412
* There is now a bzr.bat file created by distutils when building on
7413
Windows. Contributed by Alexander Belchenko.
7417
* Removed uuid() as it was unused.
7419
* Improved 'fetch' code for pulling revisions from one branch into
7420
another (used by pull, merged, etc.)
7423
bzr 0.0.8 2005-09-20
7424
--------------------
7428
* Adding a file whose parent directory is not versioned will
7429
implicitly add the parent, and so on up to the root. This means
7430
you should never need to explictly add a directory, they'll just
7431
get added when you add a file in the directory. Contributed by
7434
* Ignore ``.DS_Store`` (contains Mac metadata) by default.
7437
* If you set ``BZR_EDITOR`` in the environment, it is checked in
7438
preference to EDITOR and the config file for the interactive commit
7439
editing program. Related to this is a bugfix where a missing program
7440
set in EDITOR would cause editing to fail, now the fallback program
7441
for the operating system is still tried.
7443
* Files that are not directories/symlinks/regular files will no longer
7444
cause bzr to fail, it will just ignore them by default. You cannot add
7445
them to the tree though - they are not versionable.
7450
* Refactor xml packing/unpacking.
7454
* Fixed 'bzr mv' by Ollie Rutherfurd.
7456
* Fixed strange error when trying to access a nonexistent http
7459
* Make sure that the hashcache gets written out if it can't be
7465
* Various Windows fixes from Ollie Rutherfurd.
7467
* Quieten warnings about locking; patch from Matt Lavin.
7470
bzr-0.0.7 2005-09-02
7471
--------------------
7475
* ``bzr shell-complete`` command contributed by Clint Adams to
7476
help with intelligent shell completion.
7478
* New expert command ``bzr find-merge-base`` for debugging merges.
7483
* Much better merge support.
7485
* merge3 conflicts are now reported with markers like '<<<<<<<'
7486
(seven characters) which is the same as CVS and pleases things
7492
* ``bzr upgrade`` no longer fails when trying to fix trees that
7493
mention revisions that are not present.
7495
* Fixed bugs in listing plugins from ``bzr plugins``.
7497
* Fix case of $EDITOR containing options for the editor.
7499
* Fix log -r refusing to show the last revision.
7500
(Patch from Goffredo Baroncelli.)
7505
* ``bzr log --show-ids`` shows the revision ids of all parents.
7507
* Externally provided commands on your $BZRPATH no longer need
7508
to recognize --bzr-usage to work properly, and can just handle
7514
* Changed trace messages to go through the standard logging
7515
framework, so that they can more easily be redirected by
7520
bzr-0.0.6 2005-08-18
7521
--------------------
7525
* Python plugins, automatically loaded from the directories on
7526
``BZR_PLUGIN_PATH`` or ``~/.bzr.conf/plugins`` by default.
7528
* New 'bzr mkdir' command.
7530
* Commit mesage is fetched from an editor if not given on the
7531
command line; patch from Torsten Marek.
7533
* ``bzr log -m FOO`` displays commits whose message matches regexp
7536
* ``bzr add`` with no arguments adds everything under the current directory.
7538
* ``bzr mv`` does move or rename depending on its arguments, like
7541
* ``bzr missing`` command shows a summary of the differences
7542
between two trees. (Merged from John Arbash-Meinel.)
7544
* An email address for commits to a particular tree can be
7545
specified by putting it into .bzr/email within a branch. (Based
7546
on a patch from Heikki Paajanen.)
7551
* Faster working tree operations.
7556
* 3rd-party modules shipped with bzr are copied within the bzrlib
7557
python package, so that they can be installed by the setup
7558
script without clashing with anything already existing on the
7559
system. (Contributed by Gustavo Niemeyer.)
7561
* Moved plugins directory to bzrlib/, so that there's a standard
7562
plugin directory which is not only installed with bzr itself but
7563
is also available when using bzr from the development tree.
7564
``BZR_PLUGIN_PATH`` and ``DEFAULT_PLUGIN_PATH`` are then added to the
7565
standard plugins directory.
7567
* When exporting to a tarball with ``bzr export --format tgz``, put
7568
everything under a top directory rather than dumping it into the
7569
current directory. This can be overridden with the ``--root``
7570
option. Patch from William Dodé and John Meinel.
7572
* New ``bzr upgrade`` command to upgrade the format of a branch,
7573
replacing ``bzr check --update``.
7575
* Files within store directories are no longer marked readonly on
7578
* Changed ``bzr log`` output to a more compact form suggested by
7579
John A Meinel. Old format is available with the ``--long`` or
7580
``-l`` option, patched by William Dodé.
7582
* By default the commit command refuses to record a revision with
7583
no changes unless the ``--unchanged`` option is given.
7585
* The ``--no-plugins``, ``--profile`` and ``--builtin`` command
7586
line options must come before the command name because they
7587
affect what commands are available; all other options must come
7588
after the command name because their interpretation depends on
7591
* ``branch`` and ``clone`` added as aliases for ``branch``.
7593
* Default log format is back to the long format; the compact one
7594
is available with ``--short``.
7599
* Fix bugs in committing only selected files or within a subdirectory.
7602
bzr-0.0.5 2005-06-15
7603
---------------------
7607
* ``bzr`` with no command now shows help rather than giving an
7608
error. Suggested by Michael Ellerman.
7610
* ``bzr status`` output format changed, because svn-style output
7611
doesn't really match the model of bzr. Now files are grouped by
7612
status and can be shown with their IDs. ``bzr status --all``
7613
shows all versioned files and unknown files but not ignored files.
7615
* ``bzr log`` runs from most-recent to least-recent, the reverse
7616
of the previous order. The previous behaviour can be obtained
7617
with the ``--forward`` option.
7619
* ``bzr inventory`` by default shows only filenames, and also ids
7620
if ``--show-ids`` is given, in which case the id is the second
7626
* New 'bzr whoami --email' option shows only the email component
7627
of the user identification, from Jo Vermeulen.
7629
* New ``bzr ignore PATTERN`` command.
7631
* Nicer error message for broken pipe, interrupt and similar
7632
conditions that don't indicate an internal error.
7634
* Add ``.*.sw[nop] .git .*.tmp *,v`` to default ignore patterns.
7636
* Per-branch locks keyed on ``.bzr/branch-lock``, available in
7637
either read or write mode.
7639
* New option ``bzr log --show-ids`` shows revision and file ids.
7641
* New usage ``bzr log FILENAME`` shows only revisions that
7644
* Changed format for describing changes in ``bzr log -v``.
7646
* New option ``bzr commit --file`` to take a message from a file,
7647
suggested by LarstiQ.
7649
* New syntax ``bzr status [FILE...]`` contributed by Bartosz
7650
Oler. File may be in a branch other than the working directory.
7652
* ``bzr log`` and ``bzr root`` can be given an http URL instead of
7655
* Commands can now be defined by external programs or scripts
7656
in a directory on $BZRPATH.
7658
* New "stat cache" avoids reading the contents of files if they
7659
haven't changed since the previous time.
7661
* If the Python interpreter is too old, try to find a better one
7662
or give an error. Based on a patch from Fredrik Lundh.
7664
* New optional parameter ``bzr info [BRANCH]``.
7666
* New form ``bzr commit SELECTED`` to commit only selected files.
7668
* New form ``bzr log -r FROM:TO`` shows changes in selected
7669
range; contributed by John A Meinel.
7671
* New option ``bzr diff --diff-options 'OPTS'`` allows passing
7672
options through to an external GNU diff.
7674
* New option ``bzr add --no-recurse`` to add a directory but not
7677
* ``bzr --version`` now shows more information if bzr is being run
7683
* Fixed diff format so that added and removed files will be
7684
handled properly by patch. Fix from Lalo Martins.
7686
* Various fixes for files whose names contain spaces or other
7692
* Converted black-box test suites from Bourne shell into Python;
7693
now run using ``./testbzr``. Various structural improvements to
7696
* testbzr by default runs the version of bzr found in the same
7697
directory as the tests, or the one given as the first parameter.
7699
* testbzr also runs the internal tests, so the only command
7700
required to check is just ``./testbzr``.
7702
* testbzr requires python2.4, but can be used to test bzr running
7703
under a different version.
7705
* Tests added for many other changes in this release.
7710
* Included ElementTree library upgraded to 1.2.6 by Fredrik Lundh.
7712
* Refactor command functions into Command objects based on HCT by
7713
Scott James Remnant.
7715
* Better help messages for many commands.
7717
* Expose ``bzrlib.open_tracefile()`` to start the tracefile; until
7718
this is called trace messages are just discarded.
7720
* New internal function ``find_touching_revisions()`` and hidden
7721
command touching-revisions trace the changes to a given file.
7723
* Simpler and faster ``compare_inventories()`` function.
7725
* ``bzrlib.open_tracefile()`` takes a tracefilename parameter.
7727
* New AtomicFile class.
7729
* New developer commands ``added``, ``modified``.
7734
* Cope on Windows on python2.3 by using the weaker random seed.
7735
2.4 is now only recommended.
7738
bzr-0.0.4 2005-04-22
7739
---------------------
7743
* 'bzr diff' optionally takes a list of files to diff. Still a bit
7744
basic. Patch from QuantumG.
7746
* More default ignore patterns.
7748
* New 'bzr log --verbose' shows a list of files changed in the
7749
changeset. Patch from Sebastian Cote.
7751
* Roll over ~/.bzr.log if it gets too large.
7753
* Command abbreviations 'ci', 'st', 'stat', '?' based on a patch
7756
* New 'bzr help commands' based on a patch from Denys Duchier.
7761
* User email is determined by looking at $BZREMAIL or ~/.bzr.email
7762
or $EMAIL. All are decoded by the locale preferred encoding.
7763
If none of these are present user@hostname is used. The host's
7764
fully-qualified name is not used because that tends to fail when
7765
there are DNS problems.
7767
* New 'bzr whoami' command instead of username user-email.
7772
* Make commit safe for hardlinked bzr trees.
7774
* Some Unicode/locale fixes.
7776
* Partial workaround for ``difflib.unified_diff`` not handling
7777
trailing newlines properly.
7782
* Allow docstrings for help to be in PEP0257 format. Patch from
7785
* More tests in test.sh.
7787
* Write profile data to a temporary file not into working
7788
directory and delete it when done.
7790
* Smaller .bzr.log with process ids.
7795
* Fix opening of ~/.bzr.log on Windows. Patch from Andrew
7798
* Some improvements in handling paths on Windows, based on a patch
7802
bzr-0.0.3 2005-04-06
7803
---------------------
7807
* New "directories" internal command lists versioned directories
7810
* Can now say "bzr commit --help".
7812
* New "rename" command to rename one file to a different name
7815
* New "move" command to move one or more files into a different
7818
* New "renames" command lists files renamed since base revision.
7820
* New cat command contributed by janmar.
7824
* .bzr.log is placed in $HOME (not pwd) and is always written in
7825
UTF-8. (Probably not a completely good long-term solution, but
7830
* Workaround for difflib bug in Python 2.3 that causes an
7831
exception when comparing empty files. Reported by Erik Toubro
7836
* Refactored inventory storage to insert a root entry at the top.
7840
* Start of shell-based black-box testing in test.sh.
7848
* Win32 fixes from Steve Brown.
7851
bzr-0.0.2 "black cube" 2005-03-31
7852
-----------------------------------
7856
* Default ignore list extended (see bzrlib/__init__.py).
7858
* Patterns in .bzrignore are now added to the default ignore list,
7859
rather than replacing it.
7861
* Ignore list isn't reread for every file.
7865
* Reinstate the 'bzr check' command to check invariants of the
7868
* New 'ignored' command lists which files are ignored and why;
7869
'deleted' lists files deleted in the current working tree.
7871
* Performance improvements.
7873
* New global --profile option.
7875
* Ignore patterns like './config.h' now correctly match files in
7876
the root directory only.
7879
bzr-0.0.1 2005-03-26
7880
---------------------
7884
* More information from info command.
7886
* Can now say "bzr help COMMAND" for more detailed help.
7888
* Less file flushing and faster performance when writing logs and
7889
committing to stores.
7891
* More useful verbose output from some commands.
7895
* Fix inverted display of 'R' and 'M' during 'commit -v'.
7899
* Include a subset of ElementTree-1.2.20040618 to make
7900
installation easier.
7902
* Fix time.localtime call to work with Python 2.3 (the minimum
7906
bzr-0.0.0.69 2005-03-22
7907
------------------------
7911
* First public release.
